1
00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:00,890
Eh, whatever.

2
00:00:01,510 --> 00:00:03,150
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:03,270 --> 00:00:03,590
Dvorak.

4
00:00:03,610 --> 00:00:05,710
It's Thursday, November 27th, 2025.

5
00:00:06,070 --> 00:00:07,650
This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media

6
00:00:07,650 --> 00:00:09,910
assassination episode 1820.

7
00:00:10,330 --> 00:00:11,950
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:15,129
No B-Team here.

9
00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:17,610
We're broadcasting live from the heart of the

10
00:00:17,610 --> 00:00:19,690
Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.

11
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:21,370
6 in the morning, everybody.

12
00:00:21,610 --> 00:00:22,690
I'm Adam Curry.

13
00:00:23,110 --> 00:00:25,330
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where our motto

14
00:00:25,330 --> 00:00:27,530
is Don't give up the ship.

15
00:00:27,950 --> 00:00:28,630
I'm John C.

16
00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:29,150
Dvorak.

17
00:00:29,690 --> 00:00:31,290
It's crackpot and buzzkill.

18
00:00:31,490 --> 00:00:32,490
In the morning.

19
00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:34,330
Don't give up the ship?

20
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,520
You, you missed the point of that?

21
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,180
I did.

22
00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:39,920
I did.

23
00:00:40,020 --> 00:00:40,940
What am I, what am I missing?

24
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,780
That was what the Seditious Six said.

25
00:00:43,980 --> 00:00:44,260
Oh.

26
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:46,060
And that's what all these other guys said

27
00:00:46,060 --> 00:00:47,720
at the end of their little clips that

28
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:48,620
were put together.

29
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:49,060
Oh.

30
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,300
I'm totally convinced by Schumer.

31
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:53,820
First of all.

32
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:54,560
Yeah, besides.

33
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,200
Happy, happy Thanksgiving.

34
00:00:56,580 --> 00:01:00,080
I want everybody to know we're working for

35
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:00,400
you.

36
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:03,560
Everybody's taking the day off.

37
00:01:03,780 --> 00:01:05,920
Oh, it's unbelievable how many people, they all

38
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:06,780
worked on Monday.

39
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:07,340
Yeah.

40
00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:10,520
Like the entire, everybody except for the B

41
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,740
-Team at Fox, for example.

42
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:13,960
The B-Team.

43
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:14,560
All bailed.

44
00:01:14,660 --> 00:01:15,220
All of them.

45
00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:18,440
Dude, even Candace Owens is taking the week

46
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,040
off and she's about to be killed by

47
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,000
an Israeli agent.

48
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:21,900
I mean, come on.

49
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,500
Nobody's working but us.

50
00:01:23,940 --> 00:01:25,380
She should stay on the mic if that's

51
00:01:25,380 --> 00:01:25,680
going to happen.

52
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,740
You know, if I was, that's what I

53
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:28,180
would do.

54
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:30,400
Talk about going down with the ship.

55
00:01:30,940 --> 00:01:31,160
Yeah.

56
00:01:31,180 --> 00:01:32,600
Like, come on, kill me on the air,

57
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:32,860
man.

58
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:33,400
Let's go.

59
00:01:33,580 --> 00:01:34,160
Let's do it.

60
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,560
Mr. Mossad.

61
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,260
I want to get these clips out of

62
00:01:39,260 --> 00:01:39,580
the way.

63
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:41,440
This is going down with the ship thing.

64
00:01:41,660 --> 00:01:44,400
But this, you're so out of format.

65
00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:46,880
This is not what we do every year.

66
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:49,060
What do we do?

67
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:53,060
Every single Thanksgiving, and this is almost like

68
00:01:53,060 --> 00:01:54,560
the night before Christmas book.

69
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,120
You're talking about the long story about what

70
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,380
Thanksgiving really is?

71
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:01,680
You need to tell us the actual story

72
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,480
of Thanksgiving.

73
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,740
I do this every year.

74
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,960
I used to put it in the newsletter.

75
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,039
I gave up.

76
00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:07,919
Why?

77
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:09,600
It's so beautiful.

78
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,060
I actually went and looked up your previous

79
00:02:13,060 --> 00:02:16,280
thing.

80
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,980
Because you have done this since 2005 in

81
00:02:18,980 --> 00:02:19,560
print.

82
00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:20,240
I know.

83
00:02:20,420 --> 00:02:20,960
It's getting old.

84
00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:21,260
Yeah.

85
00:02:21,260 --> 00:02:23,160
And I loved because I did a search.

86
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,660
This is the format.

87
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:26,620
This is the format, man.

88
00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:27,780
Thanksgiving format.

89
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,220
You're like, oh, let's go down with the

90
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:29,500
ship.

91
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,580
No, hold on a second.

92
00:02:30,860 --> 00:02:31,160
No.

93
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,380
By the way, I want to mention that

94
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:37,860
the idea that we do work on this

95
00:02:37,860 --> 00:02:40,020
Thanksgiving, we did miss one.

96
00:02:40,820 --> 00:02:43,920
But generally speaking, these people are all bailed

97
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:44,100
out.

98
00:02:44,180 --> 00:02:44,880
It's unbelievable.

99
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,020
Yeah, like they don't care about their audience,

100
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:47,420
man.

101
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,020
Well, it's not even that.

102
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,500
There is stuff happening.

103
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:52,360
Yeah, well, there's a lot happening.

104
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,980
But wait, before you go into different directions.

105
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,640
I'm trying to get off this track, obviously.

106
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,520
It's not going to happen.

107
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:01,120
So I went, I found, I did a

108
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,400
search.

109
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:05,820
The first hit was Dvorak.org slash blog.

110
00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:07,780
This is great.

111
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:10,460
And the first hit was a repost of

112
00:03:10,460 --> 00:03:12,460
your 2005 post.

113
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,380
Yeah, so all these are reposts.

114
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,040
It is.

115
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:16,580
It is.

116
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,520
And I love how it starts off.

117
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,700
I'm always amused by the cock and bull

118
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:27,420
story about Thanksgiving being about pilgrims, maize, turkeys,

119
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,920
and Indians when the holiday stems from an

120
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:32,260
Abe Lincoln proclamation at the behest of a

121
00:03:32,260 --> 00:03:33,200
magazine editor.

122
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,680
And then you go into this.

123
00:03:34,860 --> 00:03:37,220
But what I didn't realize, the comments are

124
00:03:37,220 --> 00:03:37,880
great.

125
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:40,460
Have you ever looked at these comments from...

126
00:03:40,460 --> 00:03:41,640
Not for years.

127
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:44,940
Like, shut up, you old crank.

128
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,400
Eat your turkey, you ingrate.

129
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,220
It's great.

130
00:03:49,380 --> 00:03:50,200
Oh, that's a good one.

131
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,380
I like that one.

132
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:53,480
What?

133
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,620
Thanksgiving didn't start with the pilgrims?

134
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,940
Next you'll be telling us George Washington didn't

135
00:03:57,940 --> 00:04:00,300
chop down a cherry tree and Betsy Ross

136
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:02,480
did not sew the first American flag.

137
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:04,820
There's a lot of hate here.

138
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,280
And I realize that somehow you say these

139
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,980
horrible things and you're able to deflect it

140
00:04:11,980 --> 00:04:12,580
to me.

141
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:14,480
It's like I've become your lightning rod.

142
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,079
You haven't been catching the flack for the

143
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:19,220
truth.

144
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:20,300
The truth!

145
00:04:20,740 --> 00:04:21,860
About Thanksgiving.

146
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:22,740
The truth.

147
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:23,860
The truth.

148
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,320
The cock and bull story.

149
00:04:27,460 --> 00:04:28,420
Who needs it?

150
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,220
I notice they've been downplaying it and I've

151
00:04:31,220 --> 00:04:34,320
heard on a couple of shows over the

152
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,660
last couple of days where people do refer

153
00:04:36,660 --> 00:04:37,860
to the Lincoln proclamation.

154
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,800
They don't mention that it was at the

155
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,180
behest of a magazine editor but they do

156
00:04:43,180 --> 00:04:45,440
mention it, which they've never done before.

157
00:04:45,740 --> 00:04:49,380
What's interesting is I looked up Lincoln's proclamation.

158
00:04:49,620 --> 00:04:50,520
I'm not going to read it.

159
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,720
It's very long.

160
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,820
But what I found interesting this year is

161
00:04:55,820 --> 00:04:59,100
that he basically copied large swaths of the

162
00:04:59,100 --> 00:04:59,440
Bible.

163
00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:02,780
Deuteronomy, Psalms.

164
00:05:03,540 --> 00:05:07,140
And he did this, what, in the middle

165
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:08,540
of the Civil War, I think?

166
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:10,100
No, it was right after the Civil War.

167
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:14,240
This was immediately after the Civil War.

168
00:05:16,340 --> 00:05:18,580
Isn't that what went right around the Gettysburg

169
00:05:18,580 --> 00:05:19,200
Address then?

170
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:20,420
No, no, no.

171
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,000
No, I think he did this one week

172
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,240
after the Gettysburg Address.

173
00:05:23,340 --> 00:05:24,400
Well, I don't...

174
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,620
Well, we'd have to do...

175
00:05:25,620 --> 00:05:25,920
Oh, oh, oh!

176
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,700
You've got your little robot right there.

177
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:29,020
Hold on, let me talk to the robot.

178
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:30,760
Let's see, error.

179
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:36,640
When did President Lincoln give the Thanksgiving proclamation?

180
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:44,040
President Lincoln gave his Thanksgiving proclamation on October

181
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,640
3rd, 1863.

182
00:05:45,940 --> 00:05:47,640
Would you like to know more about it?

183
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,020
Yeah, was the Civil War over?

184
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,820
No, the Civil War was still raging when

185
00:05:55,820 --> 00:05:58,960
Lincoln gave his Thanksgiving proclamation in 1863.

186
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,500
It actually lasted another two years.

187
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:03,860
Is there anything specific about the proclamation?

188
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:04,560
Oh, shut up.

189
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,480
Okay, well then it would be closer to

190
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,580
the Gettysburg Address.

191
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:10,560
Yeah, so...

192
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,540
And he was telling us to thank God.

193
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:13,980
That's what he was telling us.

194
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,740
And it wasn't for the dead soldiers like

195
00:06:15,740 --> 00:06:17,300
you keep writing and saying.

196
00:06:17,380 --> 00:06:18,520
Because I looked it all up.

197
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,980
It was to thank God that he has

198
00:06:22,980 --> 00:06:24,940
mercy on us even though we don't deserve

199
00:06:24,940 --> 00:06:25,160
it.

200
00:06:25,460 --> 00:06:26,240
There you go.

201
00:06:26,340 --> 00:06:29,620
There's your 300 words abbreviated.

202
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,580
And that's somehow that turned into this crazy

203
00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:37,100
turkey pardoning stuff, which I also had to

204
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:37,580
look up.

205
00:06:39,340 --> 00:06:40,680
Kennedy's the one who started that one.

206
00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:41,500
I do know that.

207
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,560
Ah, no, I don't think so.

208
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,520
Well, let's ask the robot.

209
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:47,000
We don't know.

210
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,320
Let's listen to a report.

211
00:06:48,820 --> 00:06:51,000
Gobble, I just want to tell you it

212
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,580
is very important you are hereby unconditionally pardoned.

213
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,260
With an audience looking on, President Trump granted

214
00:06:59,260 --> 00:07:01,680
a full and complete pardon to a 52

215
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,360
-pound turkey named Gobble, part of an annual

216
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,800
White House holiday tradition.

217
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,880
On behalf of the First Lady and the

218
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,820
entire Trump family, I want to wish all

219
00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:12,680
Americans a very, very happy Thanksgiving.

220
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,160
It's a great time of the year.

221
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,440
His friend Waddle was also spared.

222
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:18,300
He stopped by the White House briefing room

223
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:19,320
earlier in the day.

224
00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:20,400
Want to give us a gobble?

225
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,100
President Harry Truman was the first to be

226
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:29,240
presented with a turkey by the National Turkey

227
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,680
Federation ahead of Thanksgiving.

228
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,900
But the more modern presidential pardon dates back

229
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:35,420
to George H.W. Bush.

230
00:07:35,420 --> 00:07:38,480
This will be our 78th presentation here, and

231
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,620
it's just a true honor for the U

232
00:07:40,620 --> 00:07:41,260
.S. turkey industry.

233
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:42,220
Anyway, blah, blah, blah.

234
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,240
So I looked it up.

235
00:07:44,380 --> 00:07:47,500
So Truman started this, but it wasn't, you

236
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:48,880
know, I'm like, why do we pardon a

237
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:49,200
turkey?

238
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,320
I mean, I really would listen.

239
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,160
It is dumb, yeah.

240
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:51,500
It is.

241
00:07:51,620 --> 00:07:54,240
So Truman was trying to conserve grain for

242
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,920
foreign aid to Europe after the Second World

243
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:57,060
War.

244
00:07:57,140 --> 00:07:58,120
This is just what I found.

245
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,660
So I believe this to be true.

246
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,940
So he pardoned the turkey so they could

247
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:02,500
eat the grain?

248
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:03,140
No.

249
00:08:03,980 --> 00:08:08,700
His administration promoted meatless Tuesdays and poultry-less

250
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:10,300
Thursdays.

251
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:12,960
People were eating that much poultry?

252
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:13,720
What?

253
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,560
I'm just reading it.

254
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,320
This enraged the poultry industry.

255
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:20,240
And you'll notice that it's always the poultry

256
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,940
union or whatever who select the turkey.

257
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,860
So before you continue, you've got Truman documented.

258
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,380
I've heard about Kennedy.

259
00:08:30,380 --> 00:08:32,860
And then in the report you played, it

260
00:08:32,860 --> 00:08:34,480
was George H.W. Bush.

261
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:35,559
She said Truman first.

262
00:08:36,419 --> 00:08:37,600
She said Truman first.

263
00:08:37,780 --> 00:08:38,580
Did she say Truman?

264
00:08:38,780 --> 00:08:38,980
Yeah.

265
00:08:39,659 --> 00:08:41,799
I thought she said George H.W. Bush.

266
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:47,920
President Harry Truman was the first to be

267
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,400
presented with a- Okay, wait.

268
00:08:50,060 --> 00:08:50,540
Let it play.

269
00:08:51,260 --> 00:08:52,620
It's boring after that.

270
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,920
Turkey by the National Turkey Federation ahead of

271
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:55,360
Thanksgiving.

272
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,560
But the more modern presidential pardon dates back

273
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,100
to George H.W. Bush.

274
00:09:00,220 --> 00:09:01,080
There you go.

275
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,120
But there's a reason.

276
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,140
Actually, it was Reagan before that.

277
00:09:04,420 --> 00:09:06,740
This was always used for political reasons.

278
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,140
So what happened with Truman is the National

279
00:09:10,140 --> 00:09:13,400
Turkey Federation were mad that he had said,

280
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:16,300
Hey, don't eat any poultry on Thursday.

281
00:09:17,140 --> 00:09:19,240
And so in order to make it up

282
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:25,620
to them, they sent crates of- sent

283
00:09:25,620 --> 00:09:27,520
chickens to the White House in protest.

284
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,240
And that's how this presentation started.

285
00:09:31,540 --> 00:09:33,660
Then it was Reagan.

286
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:35,820
It was just looking at the turkey.

287
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,540
There was no pardoning of the turkey.

288
00:09:37,820 --> 00:09:40,440
It would just be out there in front

289
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,960
of the White House going, Oh, yeah.

290
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,500
How about that turkey?

291
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:43,740
Yeah.

292
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:44,940
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

293
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,960
And I tried to get the audio, but

294
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,900
it was really too- It wasn't good

295
00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:50,180
enough.

296
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,260
A reporter yelled a question.

297
00:09:53,260 --> 00:09:55,120
Mr. President, are you going to pardon Oliver

298
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,560
North and John Poindexter?

299
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,480
And he says, No, I'd probably pardon this

300
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,580
turkey before I did that for sure.

301
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:02,960
Or something to that effect.

302
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:03,940
You can't really hear it.

303
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:06,560
And that's kind of where the pardon came

304
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:06,880
from.

305
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:11,000
And now it's just become this Turkey Federation

306
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:11,740
fest.

307
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,060
And basically, it's a lobbying exercise for the

308
00:10:16,060 --> 00:10:16,740
Turkey Federation.

309
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,420
Why else would we do it?

310
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,480
It makes no sense.

311
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,200
It's fun to look at the turkeys, I

312
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:23,500
guess.

313
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,700
Well, when you have a 50-pounder.

314
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:29,960
Well, those beautiful turkeys.

315
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,800
So I'm going to read from the GROC.

316
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,640
Or no, this is from OpenAI.

317
00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:37,040
President John F.

318
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,900
Kennedy was the first U.S. president on

319
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:42,560
record to informally spare a Thanksgiving turkey in

320
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:46,080
1963 through a formal tradition of a presidential

321
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,160
pardon was not established until 1989.

322
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,640
That would be the George H.W. Bush.

323
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:56,880
During a rose garden ceremony on November 19,

324
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,140
1983, just three days before his assassination.

325
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:00,920
This is why they killed him.

326
00:11:01,140 --> 00:11:03,620
The Turkey Federation killed him.

327
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:05,540
Now we know the turkey people killed him.

328
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,920
And by the way, this is interesting because

329
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,640
Trump went on and on about this 50

330
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:10,280
-pound turkey.

331
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,500
Gobble, gobble.

332
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,380
Kennedy was presented with a 55-pound turkey.

333
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,140
Oh, no.

334
00:11:17,140 --> 00:11:19,540
From the National Turkey Federation.

335
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,340
So the turkey had a sign on his

336
00:11:24,340 --> 00:11:26,420
neck that said, Good eating, Mr. President.

337
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:31,800
It's just the best lobbying organization in the

338
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,240
business.

339
00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:35,260
Every single year, they get to present their

340
00:11:35,260 --> 00:11:36,020
beautiful birds.

341
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:36,860
Everyone's all hungry.

342
00:11:37,020 --> 00:11:37,920
Oh, yeah, I need a turkey.

343
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,040
Because it makes no sense.

344
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,340
Well, the whole thing is stupid.

345
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,340
Yes, yes, it kind of is.

346
00:11:45,340 --> 00:11:46,880
It was great that they brought this one

347
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,920
bird into the press room.

348
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,060
Yeah, next to the other turkeys.

349
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,580
Next to her kid.

350
00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:55,040
What's her name?

351
00:11:56,380 --> 00:11:57,440
What's his name?

352
00:11:57,620 --> 00:11:59,980
That's the kid of the press secretary.

353
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,800
So, yes, the whole thing is ludicrous.

354
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,720
All right, so now before you jump into

355
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,080
the going down with the ship, I learned

356
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,720
something important that you actually called me out

357
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:11,900
on.

358
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:13,880
I want to make sure that we just

359
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,920
are aware of this before we get underway.

360
00:12:16,260 --> 00:12:18,000
Well, that's interesting you say that because I

361
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,580
have a I put aside a call out

362
00:12:23,580 --> 00:12:25,820
for you for something you did or said

363
00:12:25,820 --> 00:12:28,220
that was so on the money, it's ridiculous,

364
00:12:28,420 --> 00:12:30,140
and I've already forgotten what it is.

365
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,340
You'll have to think.

366
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,680
You watch.

367
00:12:32,820 --> 00:12:34,320
This will come up during the three hours.

368
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,320
So this is from the anonymous TSA agent.

369
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,540
And he says, I

370
00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:49,180
want you to know that I am one

371
00:12:49,180 --> 00:12:51,680
of, in my opinion, a not insignificant portion

372
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:53,900
of the producer base who looked to no

373
00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:56,860
agenda as our primary and near sole source

374
00:12:56,860 --> 00:12:59,960
of national and international news and analysis.

375
00:13:00,380 --> 00:13:02,460
And that isn't because we're too lazy to

376
00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:03,180
watch the news.

377
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:05,380
It's because your show over the course of

378
00:13:05,380 --> 00:13:08,140
the last 18 years, eight years has infected

379
00:13:08,140 --> 00:13:08,920
my mind.

380
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:09,800
Good.

381
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,000
And show me that the M5M infected, infected

382
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,520
my mind and show me that the M5M

383
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,980
is nothing, is full of nothing but lying

384
00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:22,340
to face terrible people who will make you

385
00:13:22,340 --> 00:13:24,380
believe the sky is red if it gave

386
00:13:24,380 --> 00:13:26,100
them an extra penny on their paycheck that

387
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:26,360
week.

388
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,000
So, so, and, and I, I was thinking

389
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,520
about it.

390
00:13:31,620 --> 00:13:33,160
Yeah, that's probably true.

391
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,780
And I, I personally need to be more

392
00:13:34,780 --> 00:13:36,860
aware of that because we're, you know, we're

393
00:13:36,860 --> 00:13:37,600
wrapped up in it.

394
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,480
This is what we do.

395
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:41,940
We're watching everything, you know, we're watching the

396
00:13:41,940 --> 00:13:45,680
podcast circularity, everybody going on each other's podcast,

397
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,240
talking about their podcasts and how that podcast

398
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:48,640
work.

399
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:50,800
When I interviewed that podcaster on this podcast

400
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,120
over there and debated that podcaster and, um,

401
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,180
and, and how many people are really on

402
00:13:57,180 --> 00:14:00,100
X 60 million, how many in America, you

403
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:04,340
know, there's a good chance that 90%

404
00:14:04,340 --> 00:14:08,680
of America just wants to have a nice

405
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:09,400
job.

406
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,700
Just wants to come home, have a beer,

407
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,180
watch some Netflix and maybe catch the no

408
00:14:16,180 --> 00:14:17,940
agenda show to hear what's going on.

409
00:14:18,340 --> 00:14:19,460
Maybe, maybe not.

410
00:14:19,580 --> 00:14:22,020
I think the 90% don't even care

411
00:14:22,020 --> 00:14:23,140
that much.

412
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,800
The people that listen to no agenda tend

413
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,380
to at least have some desire to be

414
00:14:29,380 --> 00:14:30,900
up on current events.

415
00:14:31,380 --> 00:14:32,000
Well, yes.

416
00:14:32,420 --> 00:14:34,340
So not everybody is, I don't have to

417
00:14:34,340 --> 00:14:36,200
do is watch a Jesse water show when

418
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,460
Johnny goes out and talks to the public

419
00:14:38,460 --> 00:14:39,000
at large.

420
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:39,620
Exactly.

421
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,860
You can see there's the real public.

422
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:42,920
Yeah, exactly.

423
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,800
So, um, it kind of made me chuckle

424
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,320
that all these people are so up in

425
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:55,100
arms about, uh, America first GOP like that

426
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:58,540
really doesn't matter at all to most people,

427
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,360
to most people.

428
00:15:01,180 --> 00:15:04,500
So yeah, use us as your primary source

429
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:09,260
for news and deconstruction, news and blues, news

430
00:15:09,260 --> 00:15:10,340
and blues, everybody.

431
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,640
So I think you are correct.

432
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,140
Um, before you get into your clips here,

433
00:15:17,220 --> 00:15:20,620
um, this, uh, the sedition, the seditious six,

434
00:15:20,940 --> 00:15:22,300
which I think is a good, good label

435
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:22,780
for them.

436
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,580
Uh, this is the, uh, the setup.

437
00:15:26,580 --> 00:15:30,980
This is the, um, impeachment team at work

438
00:15:30,980 --> 00:15:35,680
because this was all about the drug boats.

439
00:15:35,740 --> 00:15:38,460
As far as I could tell, I'm not

440
00:15:38,460 --> 00:15:41,420
so sure it was, uh, it, I think

441
00:15:41,420 --> 00:15:43,440
it was a publicity and I, by the

442
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,260
way, and nobody has said this, I'm going

443
00:15:46,260 --> 00:15:48,660
to be the only one that says this

444
00:15:48,660 --> 00:15:50,920
because I believe that Schumer is more powerful

445
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:51,740
than people think.

446
00:15:51,740 --> 00:15:54,240
He's not, he's not a dumb, dumb, dumb,

447
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:55,840
a hole away.

448
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,220
Everyone sees him and he's behind this.

449
00:15:58,300 --> 00:15:59,300
And the, one of the reasons I think

450
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:02,180
he's behind is the people that are in

451
00:16:02,180 --> 00:16:05,120
this, which includes senators and congressmen.

452
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,640
Usually they don't mix, but luckily Jeffrey's is

453
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,980
a Schumer, uh, acolyte.

454
00:16:10,340 --> 00:16:12,620
And he's like, let, let them go ahead

455
00:16:12,620 --> 00:16:14,980
and put the congressman in there with him.

456
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,140
The, the, the phrase don't give up the

457
00:16:18,140 --> 00:16:19,560
ship is a Schumerism.

458
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,600
It's a kind of stupid thing.

459
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,320
It makes no sense.

460
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:24,840
Like a super boomer term.

461
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,400
It's, it's totally.

462
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,640
And you can just, and he's got his,

463
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,960
he's been doing this publicity since for the

464
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,020
last number of years.

465
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,700
And they all, you know, the dancing Congress,

466
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,560
people, the people that, you know, all this

467
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,020
crazy stuff that he dreams up is dumb.

468
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,020
And he came up with this, this scheme.

469
00:16:43,020 --> 00:16:44,900
And he also brought some other people on,

470
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,180
uh, to, uh, back him up.

471
00:16:47,180 --> 00:16:49,760
There's another clip floating around of a bunch

472
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,340
of servicemen saying, yeah, they're right.

473
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:56,020
Um, and Trump's a bad guy for saying

474
00:16:56,020 --> 00:16:58,240
he wants to kill him when Trump never

475
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,400
said that, but okay.

476
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:03,760
But that's, I mean, even Trump knew that

477
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,740
that that's what they would take away from

478
00:17:05,740 --> 00:17:05,840
it.

479
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,200
They're both playing the game.

480
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,000
Yeah, obviously.

481
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,420
Uh, but it's Schumer.

482
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,660
Uh, and I have a three by three,

483
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,000
which is the clips of the, uh, of

484
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,319
what's going on, which is, what's happened was

485
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:23,119
the, uh, Trump trying to eat the three

486
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:23,540
by three.

487
00:17:23,619 --> 00:17:25,780
Let's play the jingle first.

488
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,300
Come on, man.

489
00:17:27,460 --> 00:17:28,520
I'm the button the whole time.

490
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:29,280
Experiment.

491
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,140
I'm ready to go comparing stories from ABC,

492
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:38,120
CBS, NBC, the never ending three by three.

493
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:38,620
All right.

494
00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:41,200
This is a curve ball and start with

495
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,180
not the ABC, NBC, CBS, but play the,

496
00:17:44,180 --> 00:17:48,680
uh, NPR, uh, summary, which is a little

497
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,760
more or a little less slanted.

498
00:17:52,940 --> 00:17:55,780
It's still slanted in a way breaking format.

499
00:17:55,780 --> 00:17:57,800
The three by three, we're going to start

500
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:58,680
with number four.

501
00:17:58,980 --> 00:17:59,580
Yeah.

502
00:17:59,740 --> 00:18:00,440
You're killing me.

503
00:18:00,460 --> 00:18:00,900
You're killing me.

504
00:18:00,980 --> 00:18:03,540
Smalls six Democrats in Congress say they're being

505
00:18:03,540 --> 00:18:06,240
investigated by the FBI after they made a

506
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,760
video telling members of the military that they

507
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,600
can refuse illegal orders.

508
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,200
President Trump called the message seditious behavior, punishable

509
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,500
by death and peers.

510
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:16,860
Sam Greenglass is more.

511
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,920
The White House later said the president was

512
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,140
not suggesting the six Democrats be killed, but

513
00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:24,840
the Trump administration has taken steps to potentially

514
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,900
punish the group.

515
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:29,460
The Pentagon launched an investigation into Arizona Senator

516
00:18:29,460 --> 00:18:31,960
Mark Kelly, and now all six say the

517
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,700
FBI has requested interviews.

518
00:18:34,420 --> 00:18:37,680
Senator Alyssa Slotkin of Michigan told reporters on

519
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,040
Tuesday that Trump is attempting to stifle criticism,

520
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:44,020
including over the president's moves to strike alleged

521
00:18:44,020 --> 00:18:46,980
drug boats and dispatch troops in us cities.

522
00:18:47,140 --> 00:18:48,920
This is a scare tactic by him.

523
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:52,560
He is attempting to use the FBI to

524
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,780
scare us out of continuing to talk.

525
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,580
The FBI and the justice department declined to

526
00:18:58,580 --> 00:18:59,020
comment.

527
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,980
My free speech, my free speech.

528
00:19:01,980 --> 00:19:04,220
I should be able to talk.

529
00:19:04,620 --> 00:19:07,440
So that was a fairly, you know, innocuous

530
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,020
report.

531
00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:10,800
Yeah, it had them quoted.

532
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,960
There was no other side of it, but

533
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,860
it was Slotkin and Kelly in particular is

534
00:19:15,860 --> 00:19:18,380
a strong Schumer supporter.

535
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:19,660
Always.

536
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:20,660
Is that so?

537
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:21,460
I did not know that.

538
00:19:21,540 --> 00:19:23,080
Yeah, he voted against.

539
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,880
This is a military guy voted against during

540
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:26,540
the shutdown.

541
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:30,040
He, at the behest of Schumer, voted against

542
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,700
funding the military.

543
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:32,640
okay.

544
00:19:32,820 --> 00:19:33,840
During the shutdown.

545
00:19:34,020 --> 00:19:37,400
This is how pro military this guy is.

546
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,220
Well, I mean, he's an astronaut.

547
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:41,120
Yeah.

548
00:19:41,220 --> 00:19:42,400
So we know he's a liar.

549
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,100
You know, he's up there in the lab,

550
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,700
you know, they got, they got the belts

551
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:49,640
on with the wires floating around.

552
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,500
So we have the, now the three by

553
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:54,500
three, they're all bad.

554
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:57,280
And I, I wanted, cause I have a

555
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,200
followup clip to the whole thing, which is

556
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,740
the bonus clip, which I had to, I

557
00:20:01,740 --> 00:20:02,980
was thinking about the three by three.

558
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,340
Oh God, I got to play this, at

559
00:20:04,340 --> 00:20:05,420
least have some balance here.

560
00:20:05,420 --> 00:20:06,140
Cause they wouldn't bow.

561
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,920
They wouldn't balance these reports.

562
00:20:08,060 --> 00:20:10,960
So let's just start from do it alphabetically

563
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:11,860
and go with ABC.

564
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:14,320
ABC is up first this evening.

565
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:16,500
The FBI is now requesting interviews with six

566
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:18,980
democratic lawmakers who told military members in those

567
00:20:18,980 --> 00:20:20,700
videos that they do not have to.

568
00:20:21,060 --> 00:20:25,020
Is this like a podcast interview or The

569
00:20:25,020 --> 00:20:26,940
FBI wants you to come on their podcast

570
00:20:26,940 --> 00:20:27,680
this evening.

571
00:20:27,780 --> 00:20:29,840
The FBI is now requesting interviews with six

572
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,340
democratic lawmakers who told military members in those

573
00:20:32,340 --> 00:20:34,300
videos that they do not have to follow

574
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:35,280
illegal orders.

575
00:20:35,460 --> 00:20:38,180
President Trump accusing the lawmakers of seditious behavior,

576
00:20:38,380 --> 00:20:39,460
punishable by death.

577
00:20:39,580 --> 00:20:41,380
Well, now the FBI is moving in on

578
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:43,000
this and the Pentagon is threatening to court

579
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,700
Marshall, Senator and retired astronaut Mark Kelly.

580
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:47,380
Here's Rachel Scott tonight.

581
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:48,520
Tonight.

582
00:20:48,620 --> 00:20:50,300
The FBI wants to talk to the six

583
00:20:50,300 --> 00:20:53,280
democratic lawmakers who president Trump accused of seditious

584
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,640
behavior, punishable by death for recording this message

585
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,380
to the military.

586
00:20:57,700 --> 00:20:59,140
I was a captain in the United States

587
00:20:59,140 --> 00:21:02,220
Navy, former CIA officer, former Navy telling service

588
00:21:02,220 --> 00:21:04,560
members, they should not follow illegal orders.

589
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,720
Our laws are clear.

590
00:21:05,940 --> 00:21:08,580
You can refuse illegal orders tonight.

591
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,000
The FBI has requested interviews with all six

592
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,020
lawmakers, including New Hampshire, Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander, who

593
00:21:15,020 --> 00:21:16,860
served as an intelligence officer in the Navy

594
00:21:16,860 --> 00:21:17,300
reserve.

595
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,120
I will not be intimidated.

596
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:21,040
I will not be harassed.

597
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,740
I will continue to do my job and

598
00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:24,460
uphold my oaths.

599
00:21:24,620 --> 00:21:26,400
It comes as the Pentagon threatens to court

600
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,500
Marshall, Arizona, Senator Mark Kelly, a retired Navy

601
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,220
captain who flew 39 combat missions in Iraq

602
00:21:32,220 --> 00:21:34,320
before going on to become an astronaut.

603
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,000
Today, defense secretary Pete Hegseth called the video,

604
00:21:37,180 --> 00:21:39,980
a quote, politically motivated influence operation.

605
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,540
Senator Kelly explaining why the lawmakers use the

606
00:21:43,540 --> 00:21:44,560
words they did.

607
00:21:44,660 --> 00:21:46,780
We basically repeated the uniform code of military

608
00:21:46,780 --> 00:21:47,200
justice.

609
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,360
And they're saying that's in violation of the

610
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:51,880
uniform code of military justice.

611
00:21:52,220 --> 00:21:53,140
It's absurd.

612
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,940
The defense secretary continues to attack Senator Mark

613
00:21:56,940 --> 00:21:57,200
Kelly.

614
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,500
Now sending a letter to the secretary of

615
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:01,620
the Navy, asking for a review of his

616
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:04,620
comments for potentially unlawful conduct, saying he wants

617
00:22:04,620 --> 00:22:05,580
to be briefed on the matter.

618
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:07,500
No later than December 10th, David.

619
00:22:07,740 --> 00:22:10,900
No, we after the Thanksgiving day holiday and

620
00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:12,360
a couple of, Hey, by the way, are

621
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:14,880
you guys celebrating Thanksgiving today or in December?

622
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:17,800
Come on.

623
00:22:17,940 --> 00:22:20,280
it's not that we have a dinner today,

624
00:22:20,380 --> 00:22:21,140
but we're Thanksgiving.

625
00:22:21,460 --> 00:22:22,660
We either be tomorrow or Saturday.

626
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:23,100
Okay.

627
00:22:23,260 --> 00:22:24,560
Why do it on the day?

628
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:25,680
Why?

629
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,400
It doesn't make sense.

630
00:22:26,460 --> 00:22:27,380
No, it makes no sense.

631
00:22:27,980 --> 00:22:31,430
So, um, okay.

632
00:22:31,510 --> 00:22:33,470
Let's just say the alphabetical order CBS.

633
00:22:34,450 --> 00:22:37,190
This 90 second long video threats to our

634
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:37,430
constitution.

635
00:22:37,950 --> 00:22:40,010
Aren't just coming from abroad has ignited a

636
00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:42,630
week of controversy and now an inquiry by

637
00:22:42,630 --> 00:22:45,090
the FBI into the six democratic members of

638
00:22:45,090 --> 00:22:47,990
Congress who recorded and who urged service members

639
00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:52,050
not to follow unlawful orders must refuse illegal

640
00:22:52,050 --> 00:22:52,530
orders.

641
00:22:52,810 --> 00:22:54,650
All six are veterans of the military or

642
00:22:54,650 --> 00:22:55,750
the intelligence community.

643
00:22:56,170 --> 00:22:56,970
CBS news has learned.

644
00:22:57,070 --> 00:22:59,250
The FBI told congressional leaders Monday that the

645
00:22:59,250 --> 00:23:00,830
Bureau wants to speak with each of them.

646
00:23:01,190 --> 00:23:03,670
Michigan Senator Alyssa Slotkin is one.

647
00:23:03,790 --> 00:23:06,470
The president's reaction and the use of the

648
00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:09,350
FBI against us is exactly why we made

649
00:23:09,350 --> 00:23:09,830
the video.

650
00:23:10,750 --> 00:23:14,710
He believes in using the federal government against

651
00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:17,330
his perceived adversaries.

652
00:23:17,970 --> 00:23:20,490
And he's not afraid to use the arms

653
00:23:20,490 --> 00:23:22,410
of the government against people.

654
00:23:22,490 --> 00:23:25,410
He disagrees with defense secretary, Pete Hegseth launched

655
00:23:25,410 --> 00:23:27,610
a separate probe of Senator Mark Kelly, a

656
00:23:27,610 --> 00:23:31,090
retired Navy captain, accusing Kelly of misconduct and

657
00:23:31,090 --> 00:23:32,410
threatening him with a court martial.

658
00:23:32,710 --> 00:23:33,570
I'm not going to be silenced.

659
00:23:33,630 --> 00:23:34,550
I'm not going to be intimidated.

660
00:23:34,850 --> 00:23:37,090
Last week, president Trump accused the Democrats of

661
00:23:37,090 --> 00:23:40,170
seditious behavior, punishable by death.

662
00:23:40,430 --> 00:23:42,210
Each of the six say they've since been

663
00:23:42,210 --> 00:23:43,150
menaced by death.

664
00:23:43,370 --> 00:23:43,690
True.

665
00:23:43,690 --> 00:23:44,330
Colorado.

666
00:23:45,710 --> 00:23:46,490
Say what?

667
00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:49,250
He didn't accuse anybody who Trump.

668
00:23:50,290 --> 00:23:52,350
No, he's just said sedition is, you know,

669
00:23:52,430 --> 00:23:52,710
whatever.

670
00:23:52,930 --> 00:23:53,790
Punishable by death.

671
00:23:53,890 --> 00:23:55,550
He didn't say this guy did it.

672
00:23:55,950 --> 00:23:58,610
Accusing Kelly of misconduct and threatening him with

673
00:23:58,610 --> 00:23:59,270
a court martial.

674
00:23:59,410 --> 00:24:00,450
I'm not going to be silenced.

675
00:24:00,530 --> 00:24:01,410
I'm not going to be intimidated.

676
00:24:01,670 --> 00:24:03,990
Last week, president Trump accused the Democrats of

677
00:24:03,990 --> 00:24:07,050
seditious behavior, punishable by death.

678
00:24:07,390 --> 00:24:09,110
Each of the six say they've since been

679
00:24:09,110 --> 00:24:10,430
menaced by death threats.

680
00:24:10,970 --> 00:24:13,830
Colorado Democrat, Jason Crowe released some audio of

681
00:24:13,830 --> 00:24:14,210
the calls.

682
00:24:14,530 --> 00:24:15,770
You deserve to die.

683
00:24:15,970 --> 00:24:17,450
I hope you all get murdered.

684
00:24:17,830 --> 00:24:20,150
White House press secretary, Caroline Leavitt said the

685
00:24:20,150 --> 00:24:22,250
Democrats who recorded the video need to be

686
00:24:22,250 --> 00:24:22,870
held accountable.

687
00:24:23,090 --> 00:24:25,250
You can't have a functioning military.

688
00:24:25,490 --> 00:24:27,870
If there is disorder and chaos within the

689
00:24:27,870 --> 00:24:28,190
ranks.

690
00:24:28,550 --> 00:24:30,290
Just because there's an inquiry doesn't mean somebody

691
00:24:30,290 --> 00:24:32,190
is the target of a criminal investigation.

692
00:24:32,490 --> 00:24:33,970
And these members of Congress have a number

693
00:24:33,970 --> 00:24:36,110
of defenses and the literal truth.

694
00:24:36,810 --> 00:24:39,670
Military service members are to disregard unlawful orders

695
00:24:39,670 --> 00:24:41,910
and they have First amendment rights on steroids.

696
00:24:42,330 --> 00:24:44,070
They have a speech and debate clause protecting

697
00:24:44,070 --> 00:24:47,090
their speech uniquely, but John and Maurice, just

698
00:24:47,090 --> 00:24:50,550
the inquiry itself has a cost financial time

699
00:24:50,550 --> 00:24:53,010
and energy for these six Democrats.

700
00:24:53,710 --> 00:24:54,230
No.

701
00:24:55,270 --> 00:24:57,330
So there was a lie in there about

702
00:24:57,330 --> 00:24:57,890
the Trump.

703
00:24:57,990 --> 00:24:59,130
And there was also a lie at the

704
00:24:59,130 --> 00:25:01,630
end because they do have this special speech

705
00:25:01,630 --> 00:25:04,850
exemption on the floor of the Congress.

706
00:25:04,950 --> 00:25:05,230
Yep.

707
00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:05,850
They do.

708
00:25:05,910 --> 00:25:08,010
Not while you're floating around, not on a

709
00:25:08,010 --> 00:25:09,610
video that you did in your studio.

710
00:25:10,250 --> 00:25:10,970
Yeah, that's true.

711
00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:14,270
So that was really poor CBS.

712
00:25:14,590 --> 00:25:16,450
This is a, where's Barry Weiss?

713
00:25:17,290 --> 00:25:19,210
By the way, we're never going to let

714
00:25:19,210 --> 00:25:19,710
this up.

715
00:25:19,910 --> 00:25:20,570
Where's Barry?

716
00:25:20,750 --> 00:25:21,570
Barry, what are you doing?

717
00:25:22,350 --> 00:25:24,230
Get on the, get on the ball girl.

718
00:25:24,550 --> 00:25:25,150
Barry Weiss.

719
00:25:25,250 --> 00:25:30,030
Why isn't she putting her, you know, impromptu

720
00:25:30,030 --> 00:25:30,930
tour on this thing.

721
00:25:30,970 --> 00:25:31,190
Okay.

722
00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:32,130
Let's go to the NBC.

723
00:25:32,790 --> 00:25:36,050
Tonight, an escalating clash between the president and

724
00:25:36,050 --> 00:25:36,710
Democrats.

725
00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:39,630
Over rules governing military orders.

726
00:25:39,770 --> 00:25:43,370
The FBI is seeking interviews with these six

727
00:25:43,370 --> 00:25:46,310
lawmakers, according to a person familiar with plans

728
00:25:46,310 --> 00:25:49,190
and those Democrats pushed back.

729
00:25:49,650 --> 00:25:51,850
President Trump is using the FBI as a

730
00:25:51,850 --> 00:25:55,050
tool to intimidate and harass members of Congress.

731
00:25:55,850 --> 00:25:57,750
You can refuse illegal orders.

732
00:25:58,230 --> 00:26:01,190
The video to troops by Democrats with military

733
00:26:01,190 --> 00:26:05,310
and Intel experience did not identify any specific

734
00:26:05,310 --> 00:26:05,870
orders.

735
00:26:05,870 --> 00:26:08,970
The white house says it undercuts the commander

736
00:26:08,970 --> 00:26:09,530
in chief.

737
00:26:09,910 --> 00:26:12,430
They can't identify illegal orders because there are

738
00:26:12,430 --> 00:26:13,550
no illegal orders.

739
00:26:13,970 --> 00:26:16,990
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, a retired Navy combat

740
00:26:16,990 --> 00:26:18,250
pilot responding.

741
00:26:18,590 --> 00:26:19,690
Rachel, I'm not going to be silenced.

742
00:26:19,790 --> 00:26:20,610
I'm not going to be intimidated.

743
00:26:21,170 --> 00:26:21,750
Separately.

744
00:26:21,910 --> 00:26:25,130
Partisanship made its way into a typically politics,

745
00:26:25,210 --> 00:26:26,350
free tradition.

746
00:26:26,790 --> 00:26:28,690
Gobble and waddle the Turkey.

747
00:26:28,770 --> 00:26:32,990
Pardon the president again, pressuring Democratic leadership over

748
00:26:32,990 --> 00:26:34,310
crime in Illinois.

749
00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:37,330
We've been, uh, moving towards Chicago.

750
00:26:37,910 --> 00:26:39,830
Oh, I love, I love the nat pop.

751
00:26:40,370 --> 00:26:41,370
Gobble and waddle.

752
00:26:41,710 --> 00:26:42,330
That's perfect.

753
00:26:43,230 --> 00:26:46,530
So, uh, so these reports were slanted very

754
00:26:46,530 --> 00:26:51,250
slightly, uh, without just even disregarding the lies

755
00:26:51,250 --> 00:26:52,430
that are in the CBS report.

756
00:26:53,130 --> 00:26:55,950
Uh, but there was no balance at all

757
00:26:55,950 --> 00:26:56,530
whatsoever.

758
00:26:56,710 --> 00:27:00,200
It was all these, you know, this using

759
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,940
the FBI as a bludgeon.

760
00:27:02,540 --> 00:27:06,300
Uh, so, so to, to balance it, I

761
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:09,260
found a guy that's, and I, I did

762
00:27:09,260 --> 00:27:12,000
some research on him, this buzz, uh, Patterson

763
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,860
character who was in the Clinton, uh, administration.

764
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,780
And he was, uh, a military, he's a

765
00:27:17,780 --> 00:27:22,280
military guy with high, he's very highly regarded.

766
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,600
He did a couple of books.

767
00:27:24,180 --> 00:27:27,000
Uh, he's, he's was in the Clinton administration,

768
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,140
even though he turned into a Republican afterwards.

769
00:27:30,460 --> 00:27:31,800
I mean, he may have been all the

770
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:32,180
time.

771
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,560
And so I just checked him out.

772
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:35,320
So he's legit.

773
00:27:35,460 --> 00:27:37,160
So this would have been a nice guy

774
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,660
to put in there as a balancing point.

775
00:27:39,780 --> 00:27:41,580
So, Oh, excuse me.

776
00:27:41,940 --> 00:27:43,740
Uh, can I get Barry Weiss online?

777
00:27:43,860 --> 00:27:44,180
John C.

778
00:27:44,220 --> 00:27:46,500
Dvorak wants to head up the news desk.

779
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,720
So anybody could figure this out.

780
00:27:49,780 --> 00:27:51,980
You could get somebody to say, they won't

781
00:27:51,980 --> 00:27:52,420
do it.

782
00:27:52,460 --> 00:27:54,780
They would never put something like this on.

783
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,520
This is no, uh, not Fox does.

784
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,480
They bring all these military guys on and

785
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,380
say, yeah, the good, those guys are doofus

786
00:28:02,380 --> 00:28:03,060
is dumb.

787
00:28:03,060 --> 00:28:03,720
They were stupid.

788
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,480
That was, and they go on and on.

789
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,020
But this guy, this was posted on his

790
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:09,520
Twitter account by him.

791
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,520
Uh, and I thought it would have been

792
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,980
a good to balance your coverage a little

793
00:28:14,980 --> 00:28:15,220
bit.

794
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,700
You'd have something like this.

795
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:17,180
Hey everybody.

796
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,420
This is Buzz Patterson.

797
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,060
I'm a retired air force, Lieutenant Colonel, retired

798
00:28:21,060 --> 00:28:23,020
air force pilot, combat veteran.

799
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:26,560
And, uh, at one time I was the

800
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,520
military aid to president Bill Clinton and carry

801
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,400
the nuclear football and actually lived in the

802
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:31,940
white house.

803
00:28:31,940 --> 00:28:33,340
Uh, I've been around.

804
00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:36,200
I was actually doing my military service deployed

805
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,260
to 70 countries and fought in three wars.

806
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,800
These are her, his bona fides, bona fides.

807
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,840
So I feel like I've got, um, a,

808
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,100
a dog in this hunt.

809
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,860
I am very appalled at what this edition

810
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,260
six is done with their video.

811
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:52,280
I think it's a violation of their oaths

812
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,200
of office, especially in the case of Senator

813
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:54,780
Mark Kelly.

814
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,680
I believe it's a violation of the UCMJ

815
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,920
and I hope that president Trump and secretary

816
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:01,900
of war Pete Hegseth hold them accountable.

817
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:08,680
They are violating and they're politically using their

818
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,760
positions to undercut the command of president Donald

819
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:14,040
J.

820
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:14,400
Trump.

821
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:17,220
And they're circumventing the chain of command that

822
00:29:17,220 --> 00:29:19,940
Congress and members of Senate are not in

823
00:29:19,940 --> 00:29:20,640
the chain of command.

824
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:23,280
President Trump is, however, as our commander in

825
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:23,520
chief.

826
00:29:23,660 --> 00:29:27,500
So I fully support, uh, going forward, uh,

827
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:31,460
with, with whatever prosecutions are, are warranted and

828
00:29:31,460 --> 00:29:31,840
legitimate.

829
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,180
And I think they are, uh, on these,

830
00:29:34,340 --> 00:29:35,700
on these, uh, individuals.

831
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,460
Uh, they use their positions, military and, and

832
00:29:38,460 --> 00:29:42,440
in the intelligence community to, uh, to expose,

833
00:29:42,540 --> 00:29:44,880
I think, and put at risk those of

834
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,280
us who serve in uniform.

835
00:29:46,540 --> 00:29:47,900
I think that what's going to happen is

836
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:50,620
because they violated the military chain of command,

837
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:51,960
people are going to die.

838
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,660
They undercut the underpinnings of the military, which

839
00:29:54,660 --> 00:29:57,620
is good order and faith and trust in

840
00:29:57,620 --> 00:29:58,240
their leadership.

841
00:29:58,580 --> 00:30:00,820
In my estimation, what they did was treasonous

842
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:01,560
and seditionist.

843
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,060
And I hope they are prosecuted to the

844
00:30:03,060 --> 00:30:03,580
full extent.

845
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:04,040
Okay.

846
00:30:04,180 --> 00:30:05,900
So before I give you some analysis that

847
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:09,600
I have, uh, I really thought this was

848
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:15,000
mainly about the, the ships, the drug boats

849
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,460
that they're blowing out of the water.

850
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,760
What did you think it was about?

851
00:30:20,660 --> 00:30:23,160
I don't think it was, I, I can't

852
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,780
say that I know what it was about

853
00:30:24,780 --> 00:30:25,700
or why it was done.

854
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:27,200
I mean, it was one of the, cause

855
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,260
Schumer does these things out of the blue.

856
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,260
And, but if you wanted to take the

857
00:30:32,260 --> 00:30:33,980
position that it was about the drug boats,

858
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,180
because it's, it's sketchy, I don't think there's

859
00:30:38,180 --> 00:30:39,260
any doubt about that.

860
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,560
Well, in my mind, I mean, it's no

861
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,060
different than what Obama did.

862
00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:46,560
We've been through that, but you are, you

863
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:47,180
are the one.

864
00:30:47,380 --> 00:30:48,820
I'm not going to stop.

865
00:30:49,020 --> 00:30:51,000
You were the one that put me on

866
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,840
the track of they're making such a big

867
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,380
deal about, oh no, I'm sorry.

868
00:30:55,900 --> 00:30:57,380
You said they're going to be impeached over

869
00:30:57,380 --> 00:30:57,560
it.

870
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,820
If the Democrats win in the midterms, they

871
00:31:01,820 --> 00:31:03,940
will impeach Trump over the drug boats.

872
00:31:04,060 --> 00:31:04,960
That was what you said.

873
00:31:05,460 --> 00:31:05,680
Yes.

874
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:07,080
And I still believe that to be true.

875
00:31:07,340 --> 00:31:10,440
Wouldn't it be a total Schumer move?

876
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:11,220
Yeah.

877
00:31:11,340 --> 00:31:11,760
Do this.

878
00:31:12,220 --> 00:31:14,040
Softening the body punches.

879
00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:14,940
Yeah.

880
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:15,280
Whatever.

881
00:31:15,820 --> 00:31:18,260
Soften up the published mentality for this sort

882
00:31:18,260 --> 00:31:18,380
of.

883
00:31:18,540 --> 00:31:18,720
Yes.

884
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:19,060
Okay.

885
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,900
So, and to me, it's like, that's it.

886
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:22,020
That's what it was about.

887
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,540
And that made a lot of sense.

888
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:25,600
Yeah.

889
00:31:25,660 --> 00:31:27,020
I'm not going to argue against you on

890
00:31:27,020 --> 00:31:27,260
this.

891
00:31:27,540 --> 00:31:29,540
No, because I don't have any counter arguments

892
00:31:29,540 --> 00:31:30,520
against that thinking.

893
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,380
You don't have to say that every single,

894
00:31:32,460 --> 00:31:33,740
you can just say, yeah, I agree.

895
00:31:33,860 --> 00:31:34,340
That's fine.

896
00:31:34,420 --> 00:31:36,580
You don't have to go like, I try,

897
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,600
I try to vary it.

898
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:39,100
I make it.

899
00:31:39,340 --> 00:31:41,040
No, you're great.

900
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:41,640
You're right.

901
00:31:41,740 --> 00:31:42,480
You're terrific.

902
00:31:42,820 --> 00:31:44,480
I can't imagine a better analysis.

903
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:45,880
You've never say that.

904
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,480
You could just say, I agree.

905
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:48,560
You're good.

906
00:31:48,620 --> 00:31:49,560
You're good to go.

907
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:50,400
I can say that.

908
00:31:50,660 --> 00:31:50,780
Yeah.

909
00:31:50,780 --> 00:31:51,020
Yeah.

910
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,520
But you could not, you can't get it

911
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:53,040
out of your mouth.

912
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:53,600
I agree.

913
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:54,480
That's okay.

914
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:54,880
I agree.

915
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:55,660
I agree.

916
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,400
I, what you just said, I agree.

917
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,020
I can't get it out of my mouth.

918
00:32:00,740 --> 00:32:01,480
I agree.

919
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:02,740
I can't get it out of my mouth.

920
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:03,420
I can't do it.

921
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,400
So, we have a producer who was uniquely

922
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,860
qualified to analyze this case.

923
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,360
And that is Rob, the constitutional lawyer, uh,

924
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,600
before private practice, he was a JAG, a

925
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:16,560
military lawyer.

926
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,580
So, he knows this stuff.

927
00:32:18,580 --> 00:32:21,140
And he gave me, of course, a very

928
00:32:21,140 --> 00:32:23,540
detailed analysis, which I will not go through

929
00:32:23,540 --> 00:32:24,240
all the way.

930
00:32:24,660 --> 00:32:27,000
But he did say that there's some, there's

931
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,580
some interesting sides to this, depending on how,

932
00:32:29,780 --> 00:32:31,120
what they said is interpreted.

933
00:32:32,100 --> 00:32:35,200
Besides the UCMJ, the military code, there are

934
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,220
provisions in the U.S. code that apply

935
00:32:37,220 --> 00:32:38,620
to civilians as well.

936
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:42,880
Uh, most notably, the anti-Tokyo Rose statute.

937
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,860
Did you even know this existed?

938
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:46,040
this is good.

939
00:32:46,220 --> 00:32:46,580
Okay.

940
00:32:46,660 --> 00:32:48,180
I didn't even know this existed.

941
00:32:48,340 --> 00:32:50,900
Uh, so you give a little background.

942
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:51,940
Uh, hold on a second.

943
00:32:52,020 --> 00:32:52,780
Let's ask the bot.

944
00:32:53,260 --> 00:32:55,060
Uh, who was Tokyo Rose?

945
00:32:55,220 --> 00:32:56,040
Tell me about her.

946
00:32:59,450 --> 00:33:02,510
Tokyo Rose was a name given to English

947
00:33:02,510 --> 00:33:05,950
speaking women who worked for Japanese propaganda stations

948
00:33:05,950 --> 00:33:09,150
during World War II, broadcasting to allied troops.

949
00:33:09,310 --> 00:33:11,810
The most well-known of these women was

950
00:33:11,810 --> 00:33:13,410
Iva Atagori Daquino.

951
00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:16,010
Is there anything specific you'd like to learn

952
00:33:16,010 --> 00:33:16,390
about her?

953
00:33:16,550 --> 00:33:17,310
Nope, that's fine.

954
00:33:17,990 --> 00:33:19,290
Uh, I thought it was only one.

955
00:33:19,290 --> 00:33:20,730
I didn't know there was more than one,

956
00:33:20,770 --> 00:33:22,330
uh, Tokyo Rose.

957
00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:25,590
So anyway, Tokyo Rose, that one she mentioned

958
00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:26,530
is the famous one.

959
00:33:26,590 --> 00:33:26,790
Yeah.

960
00:33:26,890 --> 00:33:29,170
And so she was demoralizing the troops.

961
00:33:29,290 --> 00:33:30,110
Let's put it that way.

962
00:33:30,150 --> 00:33:32,310
Yeah, well, she, the Germans had a guy,

963
00:33:32,430 --> 00:33:33,750
a bunch of guys doing this too.

964
00:33:33,810 --> 00:33:35,350
They had it over a certain, they were

965
00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:36,550
actually have some recordings.

966
00:33:36,890 --> 00:33:39,730
Interestingly, those were British agents.

967
00:33:39,890 --> 00:33:44,470
I just learned those German, uh, broadcasters who

968
00:33:44,470 --> 00:33:49,030
were broadcasting into Germany around 43 British agents.

969
00:33:49,030 --> 00:33:50,850
Different story for a different time.

970
00:33:51,490 --> 00:33:55,130
No, I'm talking about Germans broadcasting to England.

971
00:33:55,490 --> 00:33:56,150
Oh, okay.

972
00:33:56,850 --> 00:34:00,210
So, so the anti-Tokyo Rose statute makes

973
00:34:00,210 --> 00:34:05,490
it unlawful to foment insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or

974
00:34:05,490 --> 00:34:08,250
refusal of duty by any military member.

975
00:34:08,870 --> 00:34:11,389
He says this is pretty broad.

976
00:34:12,090 --> 00:34:12,650
Uh, okay.

977
00:34:12,730 --> 00:34:13,969
Well, now you have to, I have to

978
00:34:13,969 --> 00:34:14,510
stop you.

979
00:34:14,710 --> 00:34:15,949
I'll have to pull a Kara.

980
00:34:17,150 --> 00:34:21,940
Uh, why hasn't, I, this is the first

981
00:34:21,940 --> 00:34:22,739
I've heard of this.

982
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,139
Why hasn't any of these commentators, why haven't

983
00:34:27,139 --> 00:34:29,320
any of the commentators on all the networks

984
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,139
of all this, the, the Barry Weiss run

985
00:34:33,139 --> 00:34:35,840
operation at CBS and everybody else in between.

986
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,300
How come not one person has said, our

987
00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:41,260
guy can come up with this.

988
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:42,500
Check your bank account.

989
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:44,820
Do you have 150 million for your podcast?

990
00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:48,500
No, that's why we have one thing.

991
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:49,520
We've got producers.

992
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,960
We've got the best producers in the universe.

993
00:34:52,540 --> 00:34:53,880
I'm with you on that.

994
00:34:54,020 --> 00:34:54,699
I agree.

995
00:34:55,500 --> 00:34:55,980
I agree.

996
00:34:56,180 --> 00:34:57,760
I agree with your annoyance.

997
00:34:58,660 --> 00:35:02,300
Um, he says, although two, three, eight, seven

998
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:03,380
is a civilian statute.

999
00:35:03,460 --> 00:35:04,760
It can still be used in a court

1000
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,940
martial by charging it under UCMJ articles.

1001
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:09,160
One 33, one 34.

1002
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,840
These are conduct unbecoming of an officer and

1003
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:13,460
a gentleman.

1004
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:14,300
Wow.

1005
00:35:14,340 --> 00:35:15,900
That's a great title for a movie.

1006
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:20,540
Which makes it an offense for an officer

1007
00:35:20,540 --> 00:35:23,100
to engage in basically any conduct that a

1008
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:24,900
court martial may find unbecoming.

1009
00:35:26,420 --> 00:35:26,680
Yes.

1010
00:35:26,740 --> 00:35:29,480
As Rob, that's pretty dang, he's Texan, pretty

1011
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:30,240
dang broad.

1012
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,760
It would make a violation of two, three,

1013
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,460
eight, seven, uh, which is makes it an

1014
00:35:36,460 --> 00:35:40,080
offense for any troop officer or enlisted to

1015
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,720
engage in any conduct that discredits the armed

1016
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:45,640
forces or is in prejudicial or is prejud,

1017
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,000
pre prejudicial to good order and discipline.

1018
00:35:50,220 --> 00:35:52,960
Again, broad enough to encompass the violation of

1019
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,780
prejudicial prejudicial.

1020
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:55,180
Yes.

1021
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,020
Um, now could Kelly be convicted?

1022
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:00,700
Rob doubts it.

1023
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,840
He says, um, the six Democrats are suggesting

1024
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,460
that lawful orders are in fact unlawful.

1025
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,060
And if they are suggesting that, which is

1026
00:36:13,060 --> 00:36:15,180
really an interpretation of the language, cause they

1027
00:36:15,180 --> 00:36:16,960
didn't really, they said unlawful laws.

1028
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:19,460
They didn't say lawful, lawful orders that are

1029
00:36:19,460 --> 00:36:20,040
unlawful.

1030
00:36:20,100 --> 00:36:21,480
They said unlawful orders.

1031
00:36:22,380 --> 00:36:26,460
Uh, Kelly situation could become interesting in that

1032
00:36:26,460 --> 00:36:26,860
case.

1033
00:36:27,460 --> 00:36:32,760
Um, if he was, he could be recalled

1034
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,740
to active duty and then they could prosecute

1035
00:36:35,740 --> 00:36:36,100
him.

1036
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,560
Um, but his conclusion really is, unless we're

1037
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,240
going for the Tokyo Rose option, uh, he

1038
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:47,120
doesn't think that, uh, anything that was said

1039
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,720
would support a conviction.

1040
00:36:49,820 --> 00:36:50,020
Okay.

1041
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,900
That brings me to a, a meta point.

1042
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,280
We're not going with the Tokyo Rose thing.

1043
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:58,020
It's not mentioned by anybody, even the administration,

1044
00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:00,660
except for anybody else, because they know they

1045
00:37:00,660 --> 00:37:02,220
could use that and it would work.

1046
00:37:02,380 --> 00:37:03,640
They don't want it to work.

1047
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:05,700
Ah, meta, very meta.

1048
00:37:06,420 --> 00:37:06,940
Yeah.

1049
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,640
That's why we were stunned.

1050
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:10,820
By, or I'm stunned.

1051
00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:12,560
I know you're, maybe we're stunned when you

1052
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:13,600
got the note, you're not stunned.

1053
00:37:13,700 --> 00:37:15,880
Now, when it comes to, with the Tokyo

1054
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,760
Rose analysis, they're not going to, but no

1055
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,080
one's going to bring it up because they

1056
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,880
don't want to actually pursue it to an

1057
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,560
extreme where, where Mark Kelly would get thrown

1058
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:26,240
in the slammer.

1059
00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:27,760
Cause it would cause a, it would be

1060
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,260
a great publicity stunt though.

1061
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,680
Same way it works against Democrats when they

1062
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,400
tried to put Trump in jail, his popularity

1063
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,360
zoomed and he got to be president again.

1064
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,480
You can't take a chance.

1065
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:39,520
Good point.

1066
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,340
There's no way I can argue that with

1067
00:37:42,340 --> 00:37:42,660
you.

1068
00:37:46,110 --> 00:37:47,490
That's one of my phrases.

1069
00:37:47,770 --> 00:37:47,930
Yes.

1070
00:37:48,170 --> 00:37:48,790
No kidding.

1071
00:37:48,990 --> 00:37:49,410
No kidding.

1072
00:37:49,590 --> 00:37:54,910
So that would explain the, the, the non

1073
00:37:54,910 --> 00:37:57,890
appearance of the Tokyo Rose commentary on the

1074
00:37:57,890 --> 00:37:58,450
networks.

1075
00:37:58,510 --> 00:37:58,890
Yeah.

1076
00:37:59,790 --> 00:38:03,410
And within the administration, you know, some smart,

1077
00:38:03,570 --> 00:38:06,070
smarty pants that was in the press room

1078
00:38:06,070 --> 00:38:08,610
could throw it at Carolyn Leavitt, but that

1079
00:38:08,610 --> 00:38:09,670
exact same thing.

1080
00:38:09,670 --> 00:38:11,710
It would start, it would stir up a

1081
00:38:11,710 --> 00:38:12,250
problem.

1082
00:38:12,570 --> 00:38:14,190
I mean, we're the only ones mentioning it.

1083
00:38:14,210 --> 00:38:15,910
It'll never get brought up by anybody.

1084
00:38:16,290 --> 00:38:18,570
I don't know if Trump even knows about

1085
00:38:18,570 --> 00:38:20,210
it because he could put all kinds of

1086
00:38:20,210 --> 00:38:23,110
fun labels, you know, Tokyo Kelly Rose, you

1087
00:38:23,110 --> 00:38:24,090
know, he could do all kinds of stuff

1088
00:38:24,090 --> 00:38:27,190
like that and he would have, he could

1089
00:38:27,190 --> 00:38:28,450
have a field day with it.

1090
00:38:29,210 --> 00:38:31,730
So I, I think we're in agreement that

1091
00:38:31,730 --> 00:38:33,150
it's, it's going nowhere.

1092
00:38:33,270 --> 00:38:36,310
It's fun for the Thanksgiving holiday, Republican, you

1093
00:38:36,310 --> 00:38:40,230
know, this is like Comer, James Comer's, Oh,

1094
00:38:40,350 --> 00:38:42,630
we got, we got, we connected the dots.

1095
00:38:42,750 --> 00:38:45,010
We got a hundred buttons, all the bank

1096
00:38:45,010 --> 00:38:45,670
accounts.

1097
00:38:45,750 --> 00:38:46,470
So we're going to get them.

1098
00:38:46,530 --> 00:38:47,070
We're going to get them.

1099
00:38:47,110 --> 00:38:48,210
Nothing ever comes of it.

1100
00:38:48,270 --> 00:38:51,790
This is all theater of dimensional theater.

1101
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:52,550
It's ridiculous.

1102
00:38:52,750 --> 00:38:55,910
Well, then there's another legal battle that took

1103
00:38:55,910 --> 00:38:58,890
place, which I got, I finally found a

1104
00:38:58,890 --> 00:39:01,210
report that mentioned the two important words.

1105
00:39:01,270 --> 00:39:02,430
I had to get it from Canada.

1106
00:39:02,610 --> 00:39:05,050
This is about Comey and Letitia James.

1107
00:39:05,590 --> 00:39:06,290
For the white house.

1108
00:39:06,350 --> 00:39:08,130
It's an embarrassing double defeat.

1109
00:39:08,130 --> 00:39:12,370
The rushed and politically directed prosecutions of New

1110
00:39:12,370 --> 00:39:15,490
York attorney general, Letitia James and former FBI

1111
00:39:15,490 --> 00:39:17,110
director, James Comey.

1112
00:39:17,110 --> 00:39:19,110
I'm grateful that the court ended the case

1113
00:39:19,110 --> 00:39:21,850
against me, which was a prosecution based on

1114
00:39:21,850 --> 00:39:23,490
malevolence and incompetence.

1115
00:39:23,750 --> 00:39:26,450
The cases fell apart after a federal judge

1116
00:39:26,450 --> 00:39:30,450
ruled prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed, nullifying

1117
00:39:30,450 --> 00:39:31,070
her work.

1118
00:39:31,290 --> 00:39:33,270
The department of justice will be appealing very

1119
00:39:33,270 --> 00:39:33,650
soon.

1120
00:39:33,990 --> 00:39:35,850
And it is our position that Lindsey Halligan

1121
00:39:35,850 --> 00:39:38,230
is extremely qualified for this position, but more

1122
00:39:38,230 --> 00:39:39,950
importantly was legally appointed.

1123
00:39:40,430 --> 00:39:43,170
Halligan had never prosecuted a case before, but

1124
00:39:43,170 --> 00:39:45,770
was handpicked by president Donald Trump to go

1125
00:39:45,770 --> 00:39:47,190
after his perceived enemies.

1126
00:39:47,490 --> 00:39:50,590
After career prosecutors warned, there wasn't enough evidence

1127
00:39:50,590 --> 00:39:51,310
to move ahead.

1128
00:39:52,790 --> 00:39:54,870
One way or the other, one way or

1129
00:39:54,870 --> 00:39:57,470
the other, not guilty.

1130
00:39:57,650 --> 00:39:58,830
We have to act fast.

1131
00:39:58,990 --> 00:40:01,370
The case is a mess and it's really

1132
00:40:01,370 --> 00:40:03,270
amateur hour there at the DOJ.

1133
00:40:03,470 --> 00:40:05,970
And it's really their own doing because of

1134
00:40:05,970 --> 00:40:08,490
the timing and the experience of the prosecutor

1135
00:40:08,490 --> 00:40:09,330
they put on the scale.

1136
00:40:09,530 --> 00:40:12,310
While grand juries later indicted both Comey and

1137
00:40:12,310 --> 00:40:15,450
James, the cases were always considered legally shaky

1138
00:40:15,450 --> 00:40:18,150
and open to claims of vindictive prosecution.

1139
00:40:18,570 --> 00:40:20,930
This is nothing more than a continuation of

1140
00:40:20,930 --> 00:40:24,030
the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system.

1141
00:40:24,210 --> 00:40:26,410
The failure is a major blow to Trump's

1142
00:40:26,410 --> 00:40:28,530
efforts to bend the justice system to his

1143
00:40:28,530 --> 00:40:28,830
will.

1144
00:40:29,150 --> 00:40:31,150
There's little reason to think it will end

1145
00:40:31,150 --> 00:40:33,890
the president's demands for specific prosecution.

1146
00:40:33,890 --> 00:40:36,570
The cases against both Comey and James were

1147
00:40:36,570 --> 00:40:39,150
dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be brought

1148
00:40:39,150 --> 00:40:42,130
again, but that's assuming the administration can actually

1149
00:40:42,130 --> 00:40:44,710
find another prosecutor who's willing to take them

1150
00:40:44,710 --> 00:40:44,950
on.

1151
00:40:45,810 --> 00:40:47,650
Where'd this report come from?

1152
00:40:47,870 --> 00:40:48,050
Canada.

1153
00:40:48,050 --> 00:40:49,950
That's the most slanted report I've heard for

1154
00:40:49,950 --> 00:40:50,850
a long time.

1155
00:40:50,890 --> 00:40:52,810
Well, except for trying to bend him to

1156
00:40:52,810 --> 00:40:53,490
his will.

1157
00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:56,670
Yeah, but my point, all reports were like

1158
00:40:56,670 --> 00:40:59,670
that, but they at least mentioned without prejudice

1159
00:40:59,670 --> 00:41:02,670
because this wasn't about them not being guilty.

1160
00:41:02,670 --> 00:41:05,390
But if you believe, believe the headlines and

1161
00:41:05,390 --> 00:41:08,970
the lower thirds and the breaking newsflash, you'd

1162
00:41:08,970 --> 00:41:11,310
think, oh, well, the double defeat, they're out.

1163
00:41:11,410 --> 00:41:11,930
They got off.

1164
00:41:12,090 --> 00:41:13,510
It was, it was a, what?

1165
00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:15,650
Stop the presses.

1166
00:41:17,550 --> 00:41:20,710
Um, so without prejudice means, okay, so you

1167
00:41:20,710 --> 00:41:21,890
can just bring it again.

1168
00:41:22,290 --> 00:41:24,130
Now there's some statute of limitations.

1169
00:41:24,130 --> 00:41:26,650
We also have with prejudice, which means you

1170
00:41:26,650 --> 00:41:27,370
can't, you can't.

1171
00:41:27,430 --> 00:41:29,710
Yes, but there's some statute of limitations which

1172
00:41:29,710 --> 00:41:31,290
expired or expired.

1173
00:41:31,290 --> 00:41:34,430
And so it's, uh, hopefully they'll still be

1174
00:41:34,430 --> 00:41:35,830
able to get him because of all the

1175
00:41:35,830 --> 00:41:36,170
people.

1176
00:41:36,770 --> 00:41:40,390
Comey is definitely a rat, definitely no good.

1177
00:41:40,410 --> 00:41:42,050
That guy, no good.

1178
00:41:42,710 --> 00:41:44,890
And then he did the comment that was

1179
00:41:44,890 --> 00:41:47,110
in that clip where he, where he, he,

1180
00:41:47,110 --> 00:41:48,370
he never lets up.

1181
00:41:48,410 --> 00:41:49,730
He's just asking for trouble.

1182
00:41:50,970 --> 00:41:52,650
He says, and there are a bunch of

1183
00:41:52,650 --> 00:41:53,590
millennia bastard.

1184
00:41:53,790 --> 00:41:54,810
I don't know what he said, but it

1185
00:41:54,810 --> 00:41:56,110
was, it was negative.

1186
00:41:56,730 --> 00:41:58,950
I think I have the, I have this

1187
00:41:58,950 --> 00:41:59,590
from PBS.

1188
00:41:59,590 --> 00:42:01,750
I have to say the report about this,

1189
00:42:02,650 --> 00:42:04,730
uh, or actually, that's not about this specifically.

1190
00:42:04,870 --> 00:42:05,690
It's about the other stuff.

1191
00:42:05,790 --> 00:42:09,010
Whereas indictments, uh, where Trump's indictments have kicked

1192
00:42:09,010 --> 00:42:09,750
that been kicked.

1193
00:42:10,430 --> 00:42:13,010
End of a chapter in American history.

1194
00:42:13,010 --> 00:42:16,270
The final criminal charges against president Donald Trump

1195
00:42:16,270 --> 00:42:18,890
have been dropped after a prosecutor in Georgia

1196
00:42:18,890 --> 00:42:21,230
moved to dismiss the case, focused on a

1197
00:42:21,230 --> 00:42:23,890
push to overturn the 2020 election results in

1198
00:42:23,890 --> 00:42:24,270
the state.

1199
00:42:24,330 --> 00:42:26,270
The president, as we remember, was one of

1200
00:42:26,270 --> 00:42:27,570
19 suspects.

1201
00:42:27,690 --> 00:42:29,530
Uh, that's his mugshot back then.

1202
00:42:29,530 --> 00:42:32,450
Uh, including his former chief of staff, Mark

1203
00:42:32,450 --> 00:42:34,410
Meadows, uh, as well as for me, former

1204
00:42:34,410 --> 00:42:36,130
attorney, Rudy Giuliani.

1205
00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:37,630
Uh, what happened today?

1206
00:42:38,030 --> 00:42:39,390
I want to remind our viewers that this

1207
00:42:39,390 --> 00:42:42,230
was all precipitated by a phone call, an

1208
00:42:42,230 --> 00:42:44,750
infamous phone call now between president Trump and

1209
00:42:44,750 --> 00:42:46,830
Georgia secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger.

1210
00:42:47,230 --> 00:42:48,130
So what are we going to do here?

1211
00:42:48,190 --> 00:42:48,330
Folks?

1212
00:42:48,390 --> 00:42:50,170
I only need 11,000 votes.

1213
00:42:50,270 --> 00:42:52,570
Tell us, I need 11,000 votes.

1214
00:42:52,690 --> 00:42:53,290
Give me a break.

1215
00:42:53,810 --> 00:42:56,170
Uh, you know, we have that in spades

1216
00:42:56,170 --> 00:42:56,870
already.

1217
00:42:57,730 --> 00:42:59,430
Nick, that phone call happened at the beginning

1218
00:42:59,430 --> 00:43:03,090
of January in 2021 by February, just a

1219
00:43:03,090 --> 00:43:05,470
month later, the district attorney in Fulton County,

1220
00:43:05,610 --> 00:43:08,170
Georgia, Fannie Willis had opened a criminal investigation

1221
00:43:08,170 --> 00:43:10,710
into that phone call and whether the president

1222
00:43:10,710 --> 00:43:13,590
was pressuring the secretary of state to overturn

1223
00:43:13,590 --> 00:43:15,330
the election results in Georgia.

1224
00:43:15,330 --> 00:43:18,470
This resulted in a long legal battle, and

1225
00:43:18,470 --> 00:43:20,630
there were criminal charges that were brought against

1226
00:43:20,630 --> 00:43:23,390
the president and these 18 other co-defendants

1227
00:43:23,390 --> 00:43:25,010
in August of 2023.

1228
00:43:25,010 --> 00:43:28,430
Now this was considered a Rico or a

1229
00:43:28,430 --> 00:43:29,870
racketeering case.

1230
00:43:30,010 --> 00:43:30,790
It was sweeping.

1231
00:43:31,050 --> 00:43:34,830
There were different charges against different defendants here,

1232
00:43:35,050 --> 00:43:37,690
but this was all a number of people

1233
00:43:37,690 --> 00:43:38,550
that are high profile.

1234
00:43:38,550 --> 00:43:40,310
And that I think our viewers would remember

1235
00:43:40,310 --> 00:43:42,050
Mark Meadows, the former white house, chief of

1236
00:43:42,050 --> 00:43:45,070
staff, Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal attorney were

1237
00:43:45,070 --> 00:43:46,490
caught up in this as well.

1238
00:43:46,950 --> 00:43:50,470
These charges were all dismissed today by the

1239
00:43:50,470 --> 00:43:53,350
special prosecutor down there who has just recently

1240
00:43:53,350 --> 00:43:54,870
been appointed to oversee this.

1241
00:43:54,870 --> 00:43:57,030
He asked for these charges to be formally

1242
00:43:57,030 --> 00:44:01,030
dismissed by the judge, basically saying that he

1243
00:44:01,030 --> 00:44:03,310
does not think that there is enough information

1244
00:44:03,310 --> 00:44:04,290
to bring this.

1245
00:44:05,210 --> 00:44:07,430
You know, before you continue, there's an interesting,

1246
00:44:08,490 --> 00:44:10,490
interesting timing on this.

1247
00:44:11,870 --> 00:44:14,230
There's a couple of guys doing the rounds

1248
00:44:14,230 --> 00:44:17,950
on the podcasts, notably Gary Bernson.

1249
00:44:18,790 --> 00:44:21,310
And he showed up on going rogue with

1250
00:44:21,310 --> 00:44:21,970
Laura Logan.

1251
00:44:22,270 --> 00:44:24,630
So you know that there's more behind it.

1252
00:44:24,630 --> 00:44:28,710
And he, he wrote, he wrote a book

1253
00:44:28,710 --> 00:44:30,270
and it's, it's nothing that we haven't heard

1254
00:44:30,270 --> 00:44:31,810
before, but he lays it out and I

1255
00:44:31,810 --> 00:44:32,790
don't have any clips of it.

1256
00:44:32,830 --> 00:44:34,130
You can go listen to the podcast.

1257
00:44:34,470 --> 00:44:38,570
He lays out pretty well how the dominion

1258
00:44:38,570 --> 00:44:42,230
voting machines were rigged with software from, I

1259
00:44:42,230 --> 00:44:45,670
want to say it's semantic, semantic or something.

1260
00:44:46,410 --> 00:44:48,910
And that that software, and this is why

1261
00:44:48,910 --> 00:44:50,030
the timing is so interesting.

1262
00:44:50,090 --> 00:44:52,210
And this was all funded by Patrick Byrne,

1263
00:44:52,270 --> 00:44:53,770
the former overstock CEO.

1264
00:44:53,770 --> 00:44:55,150
You recall he was in and out of

1265
00:44:55,150 --> 00:44:57,450
the white house at the time with everybody

1266
00:44:57,450 --> 00:44:58,010
else.

1267
00:44:58,510 --> 00:45:00,190
It completely vindicates.

1268
00:45:00,430 --> 00:45:02,090
He's the guy who Patrick Byrne is also

1269
00:45:02,090 --> 00:45:02,410
the guy.

1270
00:45:02,530 --> 00:45:04,630
We played the clip Clinton with Hillary Clinton,

1271
00:45:04,830 --> 00:45:06,930
FBI drop set up for the bribe.

1272
00:45:07,070 --> 00:45:07,230
Right.

1273
00:45:07,310 --> 00:45:09,490
So it completely believable.

1274
00:45:09,750 --> 00:45:12,890
And they, and this book retraces the history

1275
00:45:12,890 --> 00:45:17,690
of the vote changing software, which is just

1276
00:45:17,690 --> 00:45:20,650
as, as a vibe coder, completely believable.

1277
00:45:20,850 --> 00:45:22,250
We've heard this so many times.

1278
00:45:22,250 --> 00:45:25,550
There's been some forensic evidence that we've seen.

1279
00:45:25,690 --> 00:45:27,310
I mean, there's been so much throughout, throughout

1280
00:45:27,310 --> 00:45:30,090
the years since the, since the 2020 election.

1281
00:45:30,970 --> 00:45:33,790
But it is all completely traced back to

1282
00:45:33,790 --> 00:45:37,210
stop before the 2020 election.

1283
00:45:37,350 --> 00:45:38,470
We have to go back.

1284
00:45:38,930 --> 00:45:40,370
Be way before that.

1285
00:45:40,370 --> 00:45:41,750
When the George W.

1286
00:45:41,850 --> 00:45:45,690
Bush election, when they had the D bold

1287
00:45:45,690 --> 00:45:46,570
machines.

1288
00:45:46,990 --> 00:45:47,390
Yes.

1289
00:45:48,370 --> 00:45:49,730
Or die bold.

1290
00:45:50,790 --> 00:45:53,390
Completely different company making the same election was

1291
00:45:53,390 --> 00:45:53,530
easy.

1292
00:45:53,710 --> 00:45:55,690
And they were supposedly rigged.

1293
00:45:55,750 --> 00:45:58,050
That's the only way Bush could win.

1294
00:45:58,530 --> 00:46:02,210
It was the Republicans rigging the machines supposedly

1295
00:46:02,210 --> 00:46:02,970
again.

1296
00:46:03,790 --> 00:46:06,090
And everyone bitched and moaned and groaned about

1297
00:46:06,090 --> 00:46:06,290
it.

1298
00:46:06,370 --> 00:46:08,570
And then the Democrats turned the tables and

1299
00:46:08,570 --> 00:46:09,870
now they have the machines.

1300
00:46:10,050 --> 00:46:11,670
And it's a different company.

1301
00:46:12,010 --> 00:46:13,850
Diebold had stopped making the machines because it

1302
00:46:13,850 --> 00:46:14,590
was, I don't know.

1303
00:46:14,910 --> 00:46:16,710
I'd like to look into how that happened.

1304
00:46:16,810 --> 00:46:20,470
Well, when you follow the history of these

1305
00:46:20,470 --> 00:46:23,690
electronic voting machines, it's all based on the

1306
00:46:23,690 --> 00:46:24,490
same software.

1307
00:46:24,610 --> 00:46:27,230
The software kept getting sold to different companies.

1308
00:46:27,610 --> 00:46:30,670
So it was the software that just got

1309
00:46:30,670 --> 00:46:33,590
put into new hardware, but going all the

1310
00:46:33,590 --> 00:46:33,990
way back.

1311
00:46:34,050 --> 00:46:35,130
And here's where it gets interesting.

1312
00:46:35,790 --> 00:46:38,550
This software was first used to steal an

1313
00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:39,970
election in Venezuela.

1314
00:46:41,310 --> 00:46:44,110
So you see how things, there's all these

1315
00:46:44,110 --> 00:46:46,290
things happening kind of at the same minute.

1316
00:46:46,290 --> 00:46:48,230
We've got a whole fleet offshore there.

1317
00:46:48,510 --> 00:46:49,430
We're bombing.

1318
00:46:49,890 --> 00:46:50,370
Right.

1319
00:46:50,510 --> 00:46:52,410
A lot of stuff going on.

1320
00:46:52,530 --> 00:46:54,730
So, you know, too many coincidences.

1321
00:46:55,330 --> 00:46:55,810
Exactly.

1322
00:46:56,610 --> 00:46:57,090
Exactly.

1323
00:46:58,070 --> 00:46:58,550
Coincidence?

1324
00:46:58,890 --> 00:46:59,350
Coincidence?

1325
00:46:59,650 --> 00:47:00,630
I think not.

1326
00:47:01,010 --> 00:47:02,030
No coincidences.

1327
00:47:02,290 --> 00:47:03,130
All right, let's continue.

1328
00:47:03,230 --> 00:47:05,130
This is part two of your PBS.

1329
00:47:05,670 --> 00:47:07,970
It is too sweeping of an indictment and

1330
00:47:07,970 --> 00:47:09,690
it would take too long because the president

1331
00:47:09,690 --> 00:47:11,990
is a sitting president right now.

1332
00:47:12,070 --> 00:47:13,190
He does not believe he can charge a

1333
00:47:13,190 --> 00:47:13,690
sitting president.

1334
00:47:13,690 --> 00:47:15,290
So tell us more about this prosecutor.

1335
00:47:15,590 --> 00:47:17,750
And as you were saying, you know, why

1336
00:47:17,750 --> 00:47:19,830
does he feel like this case needed to

1337
00:47:19,830 --> 00:47:20,230
be dropped?

1338
00:47:20,350 --> 00:47:22,690
Peter Skandalakis is the prosecutor that took over

1339
00:47:22,690 --> 00:47:25,370
for Fannie Willis there when she was taken

1340
00:47:25,370 --> 00:47:26,430
off of this case.

1341
00:47:26,490 --> 00:47:28,130
There was some legal drama around that.

1342
00:47:28,390 --> 00:47:30,690
He took over this case just recently and

1343
00:47:30,690 --> 00:47:32,870
he released this 23 page filing today.

1344
00:47:33,470 --> 00:47:36,070
And I spoke earlier today with Gene Rossi,

1345
00:47:36,070 --> 00:47:37,830
who's a former federal prosecutor, and he offered

1346
00:47:37,830 --> 00:47:40,570
his interpretation of why this was dismissed.

1347
00:47:40,570 --> 00:47:44,230
And the word T-O-O comes to

1348
00:47:44,230 --> 00:47:44,890
mind here.

1349
00:47:45,390 --> 00:47:48,510
This indictment had too many defendants, including president

1350
00:47:48,510 --> 00:47:49,070
Trump.

1351
00:47:49,390 --> 00:47:52,030
It had too many counts and it was

1352
00:47:52,030 --> 00:47:54,190
going to take too long to try this

1353
00:47:54,190 --> 00:47:56,570
case if they did it in one trial.

1354
00:47:57,030 --> 00:48:00,230
And when I'm reading this decision by this

1355
00:48:00,230 --> 00:48:04,050
special prosecutor, I get the impression he looked

1356
00:48:04,050 --> 00:48:06,450
at this indictment and he said, what a

1357
00:48:06,450 --> 00:48:07,230
hot mess.

1358
00:48:07,650 --> 00:48:09,830
It's just a lot of things put together.

1359
00:48:09,830 --> 00:48:12,690
A hodgepodge of charges, allegations.

1360
00:48:13,330 --> 00:48:15,390
And frankly, he didn't like it.

1361
00:48:15,670 --> 00:48:16,830
And he didn't like it that it was

1362
00:48:16,830 --> 00:48:18,130
against the sitting president.

1363
00:48:18,710 --> 00:48:21,230
And Nick, Peter Skandalakis also wrote today in

1364
00:48:21,230 --> 00:48:22,930
this decision, this legal filing.

1365
00:48:22,990 --> 00:48:24,750
He said that given the complexity of the

1366
00:48:24,750 --> 00:48:27,370
legal issues at hand, bringing this case before

1367
00:48:27,370 --> 00:48:31,350
a jury in 2029, 2030, or even 2031

1368
00:48:31,350 --> 00:48:34,630
would be nothing short of a remarkable feat.

1369
00:48:34,810 --> 00:48:35,370
Is this the end?

1370
00:48:35,910 --> 00:48:37,350
It sounds like it is.

1371
00:48:37,410 --> 00:48:38,650
According to Skandalakis.

1372
00:48:38,650 --> 00:48:40,330
I mean, he has asked the judge in

1373
00:48:40,330 --> 00:48:42,710
this case to fully dismiss all of the

1374
00:48:42,710 --> 00:48:45,730
charges against the president and these other 18

1375
00:48:45,730 --> 00:48:46,610
co-defendants here.

1376
00:48:46,810 --> 00:48:47,290
Yeah.

1377
00:48:47,470 --> 00:48:48,810
That had to be cleaned up.

1378
00:48:49,130 --> 00:48:49,950
Probably right.

1379
00:48:51,590 --> 00:48:51,770
Yeah.

1380
00:48:51,850 --> 00:48:54,110
But the jokes on the poor guys who

1381
00:48:54,110 --> 00:48:56,430
did the plea deal and his last clip

1382
00:48:56,430 --> 00:48:57,430
kind of brings that out.

1383
00:48:57,430 --> 00:48:57,570
Yeah.

1384
00:48:57,670 --> 00:48:58,050
They're sorry.

1385
00:48:58,150 --> 00:48:58,770
They're screwed.

1386
00:48:59,050 --> 00:49:00,690
Rossi also sort of summed this up, I

1387
00:49:00,690 --> 00:49:01,430
think nicely too.

1388
00:49:01,810 --> 00:49:04,490
I think a snowball in a certain part

1389
00:49:04,490 --> 00:49:06,810
of the world has a better chance of

1390
00:49:06,810 --> 00:49:07,330
survival.

1391
00:49:07,710 --> 00:49:10,390
Uh, than this case, this case is dead

1392
00:49:10,390 --> 00:49:14,850
and, I can't see how it could possibly

1393
00:49:14,850 --> 00:49:18,690
be resurrected in Georgia or in any other

1394
00:49:18,690 --> 00:49:19,190
state.

1395
00:49:19,530 --> 00:49:21,470
And this is overall a win for the

1396
00:49:21,470 --> 00:49:23,370
president and for his allies here.

1397
00:49:23,390 --> 00:49:25,610
And the president posting about this on truth

1398
00:49:25,610 --> 00:49:28,650
social today, uh, saying that justice had prevailed

1399
00:49:28,650 --> 00:49:28,910
here.

1400
00:49:29,150 --> 00:49:30,150
Justice has prevailed.

1401
00:49:30,230 --> 00:49:31,670
You know, I just thought of another instance,

1402
00:49:32,210 --> 00:49:33,470
Obama and Romney.

1403
00:49:33,890 --> 00:49:35,650
Do you remember watching that?

1404
00:49:35,650 --> 00:49:38,430
Those results coming back and all of a

1405
00:49:38,430 --> 00:49:41,970
sudden, boom, Obama just skyrocketed over Romney and

1406
00:49:41,970 --> 00:49:42,910
he just went home.

1407
00:49:43,670 --> 00:49:44,090
Yeah.

1408
00:49:45,270 --> 00:49:48,390
You know, it's, it's a mess.

1409
00:49:48,490 --> 00:49:49,950
Romney was one of the worst candidates they've

1410
00:49:49,950 --> 00:49:50,550
ever had.

1411
00:49:50,970 --> 00:49:53,390
Well, still, he didn't try hard.

1412
00:49:53,710 --> 00:49:55,610
He was doing, he was, we saw the

1413
00:49:55,610 --> 00:49:56,030
results.

1414
00:49:56,130 --> 00:49:57,930
The way that just flipped on a dime

1415
00:49:57,930 --> 00:49:58,930
was crazy.

1416
00:49:59,190 --> 00:50:00,670
Whether he was going to win or not.

1417
00:50:00,750 --> 00:50:02,170
I mean, we just all saw it like

1418
00:50:02,170 --> 00:50:02,530
what?

1419
00:50:02,610 --> 00:50:04,370
Yeah, that was, that was totally, that was,

1420
00:50:04,550 --> 00:50:06,470
we weren't thinking about rigged voting machines.

1421
00:50:06,710 --> 00:50:07,270
That was triple.

1422
00:50:08,130 --> 00:50:08,310
Yeah.

1423
00:50:08,330 --> 00:50:09,370
I mean, you first, you put up a

1424
00:50:09,370 --> 00:50:11,590
weak candidate and they, even if he starts

1425
00:50:11,590 --> 00:50:14,110
to win, you it's rigged every which way

1426
00:50:14,110 --> 00:50:17,310
that guy was, uh, it was turned out

1427
00:50:17,310 --> 00:50:18,810
to be a bonehead anyway.

1428
00:50:19,290 --> 00:50:21,650
So then we have the next bit of

1429
00:50:21,650 --> 00:50:25,290
shenanigans, which is the leaked phone call, which

1430
00:50:25,290 --> 00:50:29,370
is on par with, um, Trump's leaked phone

1431
00:50:29,370 --> 00:50:32,030
call with Zelensky, which they impeached them over,

1432
00:50:32,030 --> 00:50:34,470
which, as you know, was a perfect phone

1433
00:50:34,470 --> 00:50:34,730
call.

1434
00:50:35,350 --> 00:50:36,650
It was, it was perfect.

1435
00:50:36,810 --> 00:50:39,870
So here's, uh, this is a CNN.

1436
00:50:40,230 --> 00:50:42,930
The fallout continues after a phone conversation between

1437
00:50:42,930 --> 00:50:45,410
special envoy, Steve Woodcoff and a top Putin

1438
00:50:45,410 --> 00:50:46,750
aid, Yuri Yushakov.

1439
00:50:47,350 --> 00:50:50,110
That conversation was leaked to Bloomberg in the

1440
00:50:50,110 --> 00:50:51,210
October 14th call.

1441
00:50:51,310 --> 00:50:53,750
Woodcoff appears to coach his Russian counterpart on

1442
00:50:53,750 --> 00:50:55,510
how to approach president Trump ahead of a

1443
00:50:55,510 --> 00:50:58,150
scheduled meeting with Ukraine's president, Vladimir Zelensky.

1444
00:50:58,450 --> 00:51:00,970
According to Bloomberg, Woodcoff says in the call

1445
00:51:00,970 --> 00:51:03,490
quote, Yuri, Yuri, here's what I would do.

1446
00:51:03,550 --> 00:51:04,330
My recommendation.

1447
00:51:04,330 --> 00:51:04,470
Wow.

1448
00:51:04,850 --> 00:51:07,270
I like, I like the acting.

1449
00:51:08,030 --> 00:51:09,450
Let me read this.

1450
00:51:09,590 --> 00:51:10,250
Yuri, Yuri.

1451
00:51:10,390 --> 00:51:11,530
I'm the, now I'm in the role.

1452
00:51:11,670 --> 00:51:13,550
I'm completely, I'm now I'm Steve Woodcoff.

1453
00:51:13,610 --> 00:51:17,110
Vladimir Zelensky, according to Bloomberg, Woodcoff says in

1454
00:51:17,110 --> 00:51:19,470
the call quote, Yuri, Yuri, here's what I

1455
00:51:19,470 --> 00:51:19,990
would do.

1456
00:51:20,270 --> 00:51:21,270
My recommendation.

1457
00:51:21,550 --> 00:51:22,550
And then Yushakov replies.

1458
00:51:23,010 --> 00:51:23,890
Yes, please.

1459
00:51:24,290 --> 00:51:25,190
Woodcoff continues.

1460
00:51:25,370 --> 00:51:27,570
I would make the call and just reiterate

1461
00:51:27,570 --> 00:51:30,150
that you congratulate the president on his achievement,

1462
00:51:30,430 --> 00:51:32,730
that you supported it, that you supported it,

1463
00:51:32,770 --> 00:51:34,210
and you respect that he's a man of

1464
00:51:34,210 --> 00:51:36,590
peace and you're just really glad to have

1465
00:51:36,590 --> 00:51:37,270
seen it happen.

1466
00:51:37,370 --> 00:51:38,970
They were talking about the deal at that

1467
00:51:38,970 --> 00:51:41,250
point between Israel and Hamas over Gaza.

1468
00:51:41,650 --> 00:51:43,770
Later in the conversation, according to Bloomberg, Woodcoff

1469
00:51:43,770 --> 00:51:45,590
says, me to you.

1470
00:51:45,710 --> 00:51:47,350
I know what it's going to take to

1471
00:51:47,350 --> 00:51:49,010
get a peace deal done, done yet.

1472
00:51:49,090 --> 00:51:51,270
It may be a land swap somewhere, but

1473
00:51:51,270 --> 00:51:53,490
I'm saying instead of talking like that, let's

1474
00:51:53,490 --> 00:51:56,630
talk more hopefully because I think we're going

1475
00:51:56,630 --> 00:51:57,890
to get a deal here.

1476
00:51:58,410 --> 00:52:00,730
Now, president Trump last night appeared to brush

1477
00:52:00,730 --> 00:52:02,310
off the call saying it was quote, a

1478
00:52:02,310 --> 00:52:03,370
standard thing.

1479
00:52:03,630 --> 00:52:03,890
Wait a minute.

1480
00:52:04,010 --> 00:52:06,470
President Trump appeared to brush off the call.

1481
00:52:06,750 --> 00:52:08,430
Did, did, did he have a big balloon

1482
00:52:08,430 --> 00:52:10,410
bubble over his head that says, Oh man,

1483
00:52:10,410 --> 00:52:10,990
I'm in trouble.

1484
00:52:11,110 --> 00:52:13,170
I mean, what, what is, how about president

1485
00:52:13,170 --> 00:52:14,650
Trump brushed off the call?

1486
00:52:16,050 --> 00:52:17,490
Why is he saying appeared?

1487
00:52:18,890 --> 00:52:20,370
Oh, Oh, that's an interview.

1488
00:52:20,550 --> 00:52:21,570
That's a great catch.

1489
00:52:21,650 --> 00:52:25,630
Now that you mentioned it, um, he is,

1490
00:52:25,630 --> 00:52:28,010
he has appeared to make it seem as

1491
00:52:28,010 --> 00:52:29,270
though he's two faced.

1492
00:52:29,350 --> 00:52:30,930
In other words, he's saying one thing and

1493
00:52:30,930 --> 00:52:31,590
doing another.

1494
00:52:31,770 --> 00:52:33,090
And instead of, you know, we're always trying

1495
00:52:33,090 --> 00:52:35,690
to promote or we, not we, but the,

1496
00:52:35,690 --> 00:52:39,550
the Republicans are trying to promote Trump as

1497
00:52:39,550 --> 00:52:40,390
a truth teller.

1498
00:52:40,450 --> 00:52:41,850
And he never doesn't do this kind of

1499
00:52:41,850 --> 00:52:44,390
shenanigans where he's, where he's saying one thing

1500
00:52:44,390 --> 00:52:45,950
and doing another, he's doing what he says

1501
00:52:45,950 --> 00:52:46,490
he's going to do.

1502
00:52:46,490 --> 00:52:47,050
And he does it.

1503
00:52:47,290 --> 00:52:49,790
And so do you, to use the word

1504
00:52:49,790 --> 00:52:52,550
appeared means he might not be sincere.

1505
00:52:52,730 --> 00:52:53,130
Yes.

1506
00:52:53,130 --> 00:52:55,170
But I'm saying to the eyes of the

1507
00:52:55,170 --> 00:52:56,330
reporter, yes.

1508
00:52:56,770 --> 00:52:58,990
Instead of talking like that, let's talk more,

1509
00:52:59,230 --> 00:53:01,830
hopefully, because I think we're going to get

1510
00:53:01,830 --> 00:53:02,690
a deal here.

1511
00:53:03,550 --> 00:53:05,530
Now, president Trump last night appeared to brush

1512
00:53:05,530 --> 00:53:07,130
off the call saying it was quote a

1513
00:53:07,130 --> 00:53:08,130
standard thing.

1514
00:53:08,630 --> 00:53:10,830
Meanwhile, supporters of Ukraine and Congress, including some

1515
00:53:10,830 --> 00:53:12,650
Republicans are up in arms among them.

1516
00:53:12,970 --> 00:53:13,950
Stop again.

1517
00:53:15,090 --> 00:53:16,890
I have to say that this is an

1518
00:53:16,890 --> 00:53:18,770
example of what, you know, Scott Adams always

1519
00:53:18,770 --> 00:53:20,510
likes to say is mind reading.

1520
00:53:20,670 --> 00:53:21,550
No, of course.

1521
00:53:21,550 --> 00:53:22,490
Yeah.

1522
00:53:22,610 --> 00:53:23,990
They do this way too much.

1523
00:53:24,130 --> 00:53:26,590
And the news media is always constantly mind

1524
00:53:26,590 --> 00:53:26,950
reading.

1525
00:53:27,810 --> 00:53:28,010
He did.

1526
00:53:28,130 --> 00:53:30,110
He, he brushed off the call.

1527
00:53:30,210 --> 00:53:30,830
You're right.

1528
00:53:31,870 --> 00:53:34,310
Meanwhile, supporters of Ukraine and Congress, including some

1529
00:53:34,310 --> 00:53:35,510
Republicans are up in arms.

1530
00:53:35,970 --> 00:53:39,170
His Republican Congressman, Don Bacon from Nebraska, who

1531
00:53:39,170 --> 00:53:41,610
posted this on social media for those who

1532
00:53:41,610 --> 00:53:43,510
oppose the Russian invasion and want to see

1533
00:53:43,510 --> 00:53:46,010
Ukraine prevail as a sovereign and democratic country.

1534
00:53:46,010 --> 00:53:48,470
It is clear that would cough fully favors

1535
00:53:48,470 --> 00:53:49,090
the Russians.

1536
00:53:49,090 --> 00:53:51,190
He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations.

1537
00:53:51,950 --> 00:53:54,450
What a Russian paid agent do less than

1538
00:53:54,450 --> 00:53:56,030
he, he should be fired.

1539
00:53:56,250 --> 00:53:56,750
All right.

1540
00:53:56,810 --> 00:53:59,490
So we're smoking out more people from the

1541
00:53:59,490 --> 00:54:00,590
Republican party here.

1542
00:54:01,090 --> 00:54:01,350
Yes.

1543
00:54:01,710 --> 00:54:03,010
There's a, that guy's a good example.

1544
00:54:03,110 --> 00:54:06,030
I have this, I have that's the report

1545
00:54:06,030 --> 00:54:07,050
that you just played.

1546
00:54:07,390 --> 00:54:10,970
I have the PBS version of it, which

1547
00:54:10,970 --> 00:54:13,890
includes this actually may be funnier.

1548
00:54:14,970 --> 00:54:17,150
Cause they, they don't, they play it down

1549
00:54:17,150 --> 00:54:18,230
to such a screwball way.

1550
00:54:18,230 --> 00:54:20,870
This is the clips called Ukraine war update

1551
00:54:20,870 --> 00:54:21,330
today.

1552
00:54:21,450 --> 00:54:23,590
U S officials told PBS news hour, they

1553
00:54:23,590 --> 00:54:26,130
are making progress toward a document designed to

1554
00:54:26,130 --> 00:54:28,490
end the nearly four year grinding war.

1555
00:54:28,550 --> 00:54:31,730
But today in Ukraine, the war raged on

1556
00:54:31,730 --> 00:54:34,550
today in Ukraine, civilians pay the price of

1557
00:54:34,550 --> 00:54:36,950
war terrified residents of Zaporizhzhia.

1558
00:54:37,170 --> 00:54:38,910
Who else is supposed to pray that that's

1559
00:54:38,910 --> 00:54:39,870
always civilians.

1560
00:54:39,870 --> 00:54:41,970
What does that, what does that even mean?

1561
00:54:43,970 --> 00:54:45,210
Civilians pay the price.

1562
00:54:45,470 --> 00:54:48,950
Of course, human beings pay the price.

1563
00:54:49,110 --> 00:54:52,490
Terrified residents of Zaporizhzhia watch their homes burn.

1564
00:54:52,910 --> 00:54:56,010
They grab prize possessions and feel peace is

1565
00:54:56,010 --> 00:54:59,070
impossibly far asked about us diplomacy.

1566
00:55:00,450 --> 00:55:02,090
I don't know what to think.

1567
00:55:02,290 --> 00:55:03,610
Looking at what's happened.

1568
00:55:03,810 --> 00:55:05,710
This doesn't feel much like a peace plan.

1569
00:55:06,010 --> 00:55:07,690
Do you believe in peace?

1570
00:55:08,270 --> 00:55:08,910
No.

1571
00:55:09,570 --> 00:55:12,070
If I let myself believe that then peace

1572
00:55:12,070 --> 00:55:13,670
will come at a very high cost.

1573
00:55:13,670 --> 00:55:15,290
The cost of our lives.

1574
00:55:15,890 --> 00:55:17,190
The first draft of the U S peace

1575
00:55:17,190 --> 00:55:19,390
plan required Ukraine to reduce the size of

1576
00:55:19,390 --> 00:55:22,150
its military by almost a third abandoned ambitions

1577
00:55:22,150 --> 00:55:24,950
to join NATO and give up and demilitarize

1578
00:55:24,950 --> 00:55:27,490
territory in Donetsk that Russia has failed to

1579
00:55:27,490 --> 00:55:29,430
seize despite 11 years of war.

1580
00:55:29,770 --> 00:55:32,550
Recently, Russia's called the fall of Donetsk inevitable

1581
00:55:32,550 --> 00:55:32,790
position.

1582
00:55:34,330 --> 00:55:36,370
What did you hear what he said in

1583
00:55:36,370 --> 00:55:36,570
there?

1584
00:55:36,590 --> 00:55:38,990
He just slipped it in the fog of

1585
00:55:38,990 --> 00:55:39,350
war.

1586
00:55:39,710 --> 00:55:41,690
No, they said 11 years.

1587
00:55:41,690 --> 00:55:44,450
Oh, rise territory in Donetsk that Russia has

1588
00:55:44,450 --> 00:55:46,890
failed to seize despite 11 years of war.

1589
00:55:47,170 --> 00:55:48,650
It's not been 11 years.

1590
00:55:49,510 --> 00:55:52,230
Well, they're going, but they're counting from 2014,

1591
00:55:52,950 --> 00:55:53,390
2014.

1592
00:55:53,870 --> 00:55:55,390
Yeah, they're going back, but that's not when

1593
00:55:55,390 --> 00:55:57,890
the war started, not the full scale invasion.

1594
00:55:59,470 --> 00:56:01,050
There was just a kind of what was

1595
00:56:01,050 --> 00:56:01,730
going on then?

1596
00:56:01,790 --> 00:56:03,630
What, I mean, they took Crimea and then

1597
00:56:03,630 --> 00:56:05,470
everything kind of came to a stand.

1598
00:56:05,530 --> 00:56:06,850
There was no war going on.

1599
00:56:06,950 --> 00:56:09,450
These, these people at PBS want war.

1600
00:56:10,870 --> 00:56:12,470
Well, somebody, yes.

1601
00:56:12,650 --> 00:56:14,490
Well, it's 11 years of war.

1602
00:56:14,590 --> 00:56:16,070
It's a little, I think 11 years of

1603
00:56:16,070 --> 00:56:17,410
war makes it a little more like a

1604
00:56:17,410 --> 00:56:18,290
more historic.

1605
00:56:18,410 --> 00:56:18,590
Yeah.

1606
00:56:18,930 --> 00:56:19,410
Yeah.

1607
00:56:19,630 --> 00:56:19,810
Yeah.

1608
00:56:20,010 --> 00:56:20,270
Yeah.

1609
00:56:20,270 --> 00:56:21,130
Russia bad.

1610
00:56:21,410 --> 00:56:24,030
Recently, Russia's called the fall of Donetsk inevitable,

1611
00:56:24,310 --> 00:56:26,870
a position endorsed last night by president Trump.

1612
00:56:27,210 --> 00:56:29,010
If you look, it's just moving in one

1613
00:56:29,010 --> 00:56:29,450
direction.

1614
00:56:29,970 --> 00:56:32,910
So eventually that's land that over the next

1615
00:56:32,910 --> 00:56:35,390
couple of months might be gotten by Russia

1616
00:56:35,390 --> 00:56:35,770
anyway.

1617
00:56:36,170 --> 00:56:39,470
Today, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky called that assessment.

1618
00:56:39,770 --> 00:56:40,250
Unacceptable.

1619
00:56:40,890 --> 00:56:41,370
Unacceptable.

1620
00:56:41,790 --> 00:56:42,370
I'm an actor.

1621
00:56:42,530 --> 00:56:42,810
Dammit.

1622
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:45,600
All right.

1623
00:56:45,620 --> 00:56:47,040
You kind of, you kind of moving away

1624
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:48,400
from where I wanted to go, but I'll

1625
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:49,000
stick with it.

1626
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:49,200
Yeah.

1627
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,420
But this next clip is, is brings us

1628
00:56:51,420 --> 00:56:52,780
back to kind of what you were playing

1629
00:56:52,780 --> 00:56:53,380
a minute ago.

1630
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:53,700
Okay.

1631
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,500
Russians are peddling the narrative around the world

1632
00:56:57,500 --> 00:57:00,100
that Ukraine allegedly cannot defend itself.

1633
00:57:00,460 --> 00:57:02,800
The daily results of our special forces in

1634
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:03,680
our deep strikes.

1635
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,660
These are all proof that Ukraine can defend

1636
00:57:06,660 --> 00:57:07,300
its interests.

1637
00:57:07,300 --> 00:57:09,660
It is not Ukraine that must be pressured

1638
00:57:09,660 --> 00:57:13,020
for peace, but Russia, US and European officials

1639
00:57:13,020 --> 00:57:14,000
tell PBS news.

1640
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,180
Our recent negotiations have produced significant edits and

1641
00:57:17,180 --> 00:57:20,040
agreements on most points, but Ukraine wants the

1642
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,080
most difficult decision about giving up territory discussed

1643
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,240
directly by presidents, Trump and Zelensky next week,

1644
00:57:26,300 --> 00:57:28,240
special envoy Steve Whitcoff will go to Russia

1645
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,480
to meet Vladimir Putin, who today described progress.

1646
00:57:32,700 --> 00:57:34,800
I'll be happy to inform you about the

1647
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,760
direction of achieving acceptable and sought after results

1648
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,180
for us in Ukraine by peaceful means.

1649
00:57:40,820 --> 00:57:43,260
Russia's confidence in a US deal is now

1650
00:57:43,260 --> 00:57:45,400
reflected by Whitcoff's own words.

1651
00:57:45,860 --> 00:57:49,620
Yesterday, Bloomberg published an unprecedented leaked transcript of

1652
00:57:49,620 --> 00:57:52,520
a phone conversation between Whitcoff and Putin's top

1653
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,140
foreign policy aid, Yuri Ushakov.

1654
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,480
Whitcoff told Ushakov, I have the deepest respect

1655
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:58,440
for president Putin.

1656
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,140
And Whitcoff advised Ushakov on how Putin should

1657
00:58:01,140 --> 00:58:01,880
speak to Trump.

1658
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,760
Congratulate the president on this achievement of a

1659
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:05,680
ceasefire in Gaza.

1660
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,240
In Ukraine, Whitcoff said, I know what it's

1661
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:09,640
going to take to get a peace deal

1662
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:10,020
done.

1663
00:58:10,380 --> 00:58:12,400
Donetsk and maybe a land swap somewhere.

1664
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,700
But I'm saying instead of talking like that,

1665
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,120
let's talk more hopefully, because I think we're

1666
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:18,240
going to get a deal here.

1667
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,900
In response, Nebraska Republican Don Bacon, who's retiring,

1668
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:23,660
said Whitcoff should be fired.

1669
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,160
The Nebraska guy is out.

1670
00:58:28,820 --> 00:58:30,000
Is he up for primary?

1671
00:58:30,380 --> 00:58:31,040
He's done.

1672
00:58:31,620 --> 00:58:37,780
This is, this is a beneficiary side thing

1673
00:58:37,780 --> 00:58:39,320
that's happening in this op.

1674
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,080
This is so he can become a board

1675
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:42,340
member at Lockheed Martin.

1676
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:45,680
Are they in Nebraska?

1677
00:58:46,340 --> 00:58:49,100
No, no, but he can move.

1678
00:58:49,500 --> 00:58:49,840
All right.

1679
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:51,220
And by the way, he can travel.

1680
00:58:52,300 --> 00:58:52,800
Part three.

1681
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,340
And Pennsylvania Republican Brian Fitzpatrick said Secretary of

1682
00:58:56,340 --> 00:58:58,420
State Marco Rubio should be allowed to do

1683
00:58:58,420 --> 00:58:59,040
his job.

1684
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,800
But President Trump defended Whitcoff.

1685
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:03,480
I haven't heard it, but I heard it

1686
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,120
was standard negotiation.

1687
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:07,920
So you're not worried that he's too pro

1688
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:08,280
-Russian?

1689
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,540
No, I think, look, this war could go

1690
00:59:11,540 --> 00:59:14,160
on for years and Russia's got a lot

1691
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,180
more people, a lot more soldiers.

1692
00:59:16,660 --> 00:59:19,020
As for Ushakov, he said today the transcript

1693
00:59:19,020 --> 00:59:22,000
was published to divide Washington from Moscow.

1694
00:59:22,260 --> 00:59:24,620
To interfere with us.

1695
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,700
It's unlikely it was done to improve the

1696
00:59:26,700 --> 00:59:27,200
relationship.

1697
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,480
But most European officials want the Washington Moscow

1698
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,960
relationship to become more adversarial.

1699
00:59:33,500 --> 00:59:35,340
In any peace agreement, we have to put

1700
00:59:35,340 --> 00:59:37,640
the focus on how to get concessions from

1701
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:37,900
Russia.

1702
00:59:37,940 --> 00:59:38,280
Who's this?

1703
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:39,060
Who's this lady?

1704
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:41,220
Where's she from?

1705
00:59:41,300 --> 00:59:42,580
She just jumps in all of a sudden

1706
00:59:42,580 --> 00:59:45,440
and got a quasi Russian British accent.

1707
00:59:45,580 --> 00:59:46,000
What is this?

1708
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:46,300
Yeah.

1709
00:59:46,460 --> 00:59:47,400
Who is this lady?

1710
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:48,180
She just, I don't know.

1711
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:49,240
Just appears out of nowhere.

1712
00:59:49,620 --> 00:59:52,180
But most European officials want the Washington Moscow

1713
00:59:52,180 --> 00:59:54,660
relationship to become more adversarial.

1714
00:59:54,660 --> 00:59:57,040
In any peace agreement, we have to put

1715
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,320
the focus on how to get concessions from

1716
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,460
Russian side, that they stop aggression for good

1717
01:00:02,460 --> 01:00:05,520
and do not try to change borders by

1718
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:06,020
force.

1719
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:06,800
The Ukrainian.

1720
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:08,820
In addition to Whitkoff's travel to Russia next

1721
01:00:08,820 --> 01:00:11,000
week, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll will

1722
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,340
continue to speak to the Ukrainians after he

1723
01:00:13,340 --> 01:00:14,780
returned to the U.S. today.

1724
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:15,440
Okay.

1725
01:00:15,620 --> 01:00:17,540
So before I, I have a couple of

1726
01:00:17,540 --> 01:00:17,900
clips here.

1727
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,880
Before I get to that, very little is

1728
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,020
said or talked about how this got leaked

1729
01:00:24,020 --> 01:00:24,580
to Bloomberg.

1730
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:26,420
And why Bloomberg?

1731
01:00:27,140 --> 01:00:29,440
You know, it's an interesting outfit to leak

1732
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:30,160
something to.

1733
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,880
I got one article from Newsweek.

1734
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,600
Who leaked Steve Whitkoff's phone call with Russia?

1735
01:00:39,780 --> 01:00:41,080
Three potential suspects.

1736
01:00:41,300 --> 01:00:42,520
Now, something about Newsweek.

1737
01:00:43,180 --> 01:00:47,820
Newsweek is the CIA spook memo.

1738
01:00:47,820 --> 01:00:52,220
And I know this because when we move

1739
01:00:52,220 --> 01:00:54,820
to Europe, even with its new owners.

1740
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,040
Well, that's a good question.

1741
01:00:59,100 --> 01:01:01,020
That I don't know, but I know that

1742
01:01:01,020 --> 01:01:02,920
news, all the spies had Newsweek.

1743
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:04,380
Okay.

1744
01:01:04,420 --> 01:01:07,080
So traditionally, traditionally, traditionally.

1745
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:07,800
Okay.

1746
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,880
Now they come up with three suspects.

1747
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,820
One U.S. intelligence operatives.

1748
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:19,320
Now, if it's still a CIA publication, then

1749
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,700
this is just to, you know, I, I

1750
01:01:22,700 --> 01:01:23,140
don't know.

1751
01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:26,340
Seems to make it sound legit.

1752
01:01:26,540 --> 01:01:27,620
Yeah, that would be.

1753
01:01:27,700 --> 01:01:27,800
Yeah.

1754
01:01:27,820 --> 01:01:28,600
Put them at the top.

1755
01:01:28,700 --> 01:01:33,100
Number two, NATO nation, which I'm, I'm going

1756
01:01:33,100 --> 01:01:34,300
to say is possible.

1757
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,540
And number three, Russia.

1758
01:01:38,140 --> 01:01:40,620
Which I pull this stunt constantly.

1759
01:01:41,100 --> 01:01:44,100
Very possible because Russia, the Russians are the

1760
01:01:44,100 --> 01:01:45,960
ones who get the cool phone calls.

1761
01:01:46,660 --> 01:01:46,780
Yeah.

1762
01:01:46,900 --> 01:01:49,860
They, they tap calls and they're in good

1763
01:01:49,860 --> 01:01:50,340
shape.

1764
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:53,680
That's the FDU clip that we have from

1765
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:54,340
Newland.

1766
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:54,660
Yep.

1767
01:01:54,820 --> 01:01:56,980
They came obviously from Russia.

1768
01:01:57,100 --> 01:01:59,280
Although this time we didn't hear the call.

1769
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,040
We only got the transcript that Bloomberg says

1770
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,960
they made from the recordings.

1771
01:02:05,500 --> 01:02:06,600
Ah, so this would be.

1772
01:02:07,060 --> 01:02:07,580
Okay.

1773
01:02:07,700 --> 01:02:10,140
That's a little different because the most, you

1774
01:02:10,140 --> 01:02:12,460
get more impact when you actually hear the

1775
01:02:12,460 --> 01:02:12,640
call.

1776
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:12,980
Yes.

1777
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:14,800
So, so I'm, I'm suspicious.

1778
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,820
Now, do I think this could be possibly

1779
01:02:17,820 --> 01:02:18,900
British intelligence?

1780
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,120
That's kind of where I'm leaning because this

1781
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,220
whole thing was North Sea Nexus.

1782
01:02:24,620 --> 01:02:27,600
This whole thing was really set up to

1783
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,740
convey one single message.

1784
01:02:31,300 --> 01:02:31,540
Trump.

1785
01:02:31,660 --> 01:02:32,220
No, sorry.

1786
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,040
Multiple sided message.

1787
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:35,000
Trump is an idiot.

1788
01:02:35,820 --> 01:02:38,420
He needs you to kiss his ass all

1789
01:02:38,420 --> 01:02:38,980
the time.

1790
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,700
And this is basically the Russian plan.

1791
01:02:42,300 --> 01:02:44,920
So that, so this was done to clear

1792
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:45,460
the deal.

1793
01:02:45,660 --> 01:02:45,880
Yes.

1794
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,020
To clear the, to clear the deal.

1795
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,180
Here is France 24 and he's back.

1796
01:02:52,940 --> 01:02:55,800
Douchebag Doug explains the call.

1797
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:56,080
Yeah.

1798
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:58,740
Telephone call, the audio files of which excerpts

1799
01:02:58,740 --> 01:03:01,120
of which were reviewed by the Bloomberg News

1800
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:01,540
Agency.

1801
01:03:01,540 --> 01:03:03,260
And it is the original source of this

1802
01:03:03,260 --> 01:03:03,440
call.

1803
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:07,100
Look, look, anyone who is skeptical or has

1804
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:10,460
doubts that the Trump peace plan defaults to

1805
01:03:10,460 --> 01:03:11,680
a pro Kremlin.

1806
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,140
A pro Putin stance, i.e. that the

1807
01:03:14,140 --> 01:03:17,060
U.S. is really all about ultimately pushing

1808
01:03:17,060 --> 01:03:19,420
Ukraine to accept a deal that amounts to

1809
01:03:19,420 --> 01:03:22,120
either capitulation or something that's not really going

1810
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:23,640
to secure its long term interest.

1811
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:25,480
This call is not going to be happy

1812
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,400
listening or in the case of the transcript

1813
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,040
reading of the transcript.

1814
01:03:30,580 --> 01:03:33,640
Steve Whitcoft, Donald Putin's top envoy to cut.

1815
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,640
Did you hear it again?

1816
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,660
He is so anti Trump.

1817
01:03:41,660 --> 01:03:46,000
And so convinced that Trump is just working

1818
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:46,560
for Putin.

1819
01:03:46,820 --> 01:03:48,060
This comes out of his mouth.

1820
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:50,000
This call is not going to be happy

1821
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,960
listening or in the case of the transcript

1822
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,640
reading of the transcript.

1823
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:58,200
Steve Whitcoft, Donald Putin's top envoy to cut

1824
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,220
to the Donald Putin's top envoy.

1825
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,220
I missed it.

1826
01:04:02,500 --> 01:04:03,500
Did you hear it?

1827
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:05,460
I would play it one more time.

1828
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,980
He says Steve Whitcoft, Donald Putin's top envoy.

1829
01:04:08,980 --> 01:04:09,780
This call is not going to be happy

1830
01:04:09,780 --> 01:04:11,800
listening or in the case of the transcript

1831
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,440
reading of the transcript.

1832
01:04:14,980 --> 01:04:18,040
Steve Whitcoft, Donald Putin's top envoy to cut

1833
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:18,640
to the chase.

1834
01:04:19,100 --> 01:04:19,500
Yeah.

1835
01:04:20,260 --> 01:04:21,220
I don't know why.

1836
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:22,500
It's hard to hear.

1837
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,380
But once you once you you're tuned to

1838
01:04:26,380 --> 01:04:27,180
it, there it is.

1839
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:28,220
This is what we do.

1840
01:04:28,500 --> 01:04:30,700
I mean, Donald Putin.

1841
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:31,100
OK.

1842
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,220
And the lady sitting at the desk doesn't

1843
01:04:33,220 --> 01:04:34,140
bat an eye.

1844
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:34,520
She doesn't.

1845
01:04:34,700 --> 01:04:35,600
I don't know if she heard it.

1846
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,640
She's probably like, I mean, no, I don't

1847
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,280
think she did because it's hard to hear.

1848
01:04:39,420 --> 01:04:42,940
The guy has a monotonic type of presentation.

1849
01:04:42,940 --> 01:04:45,080
That's hard to pick up on Donald.

1850
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:46,620
He's not good.

1851
01:04:47,180 --> 01:04:49,020
And so he says Donald Putin.

1852
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:49,600
Wow.

1853
01:04:49,740 --> 01:04:50,740
That's actually a good show.

1854
01:04:51,980 --> 01:04:53,520
Reading of the transcript.

1855
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:57,080
Steve Whitcoft, Donald Putin's top envoy to cut

1856
01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:59,940
to the chase with with Ukraine held a

1857
01:04:59,940 --> 01:05:02,780
phone conversation five minutes back on October 14th,

1858
01:05:02,780 --> 01:05:05,160
according to this transcript with Yuri Ushakov.

1859
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,960
Now, Yuri Ushakov is Vladimir Putin's top foreign

1860
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:08,640
policy adviser.

1861
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,280
Now, the call when you read the transcript

1862
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,340
reads not like one side.

1863
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,640
You are a man representing U.S. interests

1864
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:16,920
in this plan trying to get the best

1865
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:17,800
deal for Russia and Ukraine.

1866
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:19,240
On the other side, the Russians trying to

1867
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:20,120
get their own best interest.

1868
01:05:20,500 --> 01:05:22,340
It almost sounds like a coach talk, a

1869
01:05:22,340 --> 01:05:24,760
pep talk that Whitcoff is trying to give

1870
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:25,080
Ushakov.

1871
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,960
He's basically saying we need to work together

1872
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,420
to get this peace deal done.

1873
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:32,140
And he's also telling him how to.

1874
01:05:32,140 --> 01:05:35,200
Doug says that as if it's a bad

1875
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:35,700
thing.

1876
01:05:36,340 --> 01:05:38,500
Like, I can't believe he was saying to

1877
01:05:38,500 --> 01:05:39,900
him, we need to work together to get

1878
01:05:39,900 --> 01:05:41,820
the get this peace deal done.

1879
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,280
Yeah, that's another good catch.

1880
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,660
Yeah, that's the whole point of this is

1881
01:05:46,660 --> 01:05:47,540
trying to give Ushakov.

1882
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,400
He's basically saying we need to work together

1883
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,860
to get this peace deal done.

1884
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:54,740
And he's also telling him how to sort

1885
01:05:54,740 --> 01:05:55,700
of butter up Trump.

1886
01:05:55,700 --> 01:05:58,920
That is, you know, coaxing him to to

1887
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,520
have Putin, his boss, that is Putin, congratulate

1888
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,040
Trump on the recently then unveiled Gaza peace

1889
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,020
plan, calling Trump a man of peace, so

1890
01:06:07,020 --> 01:06:07,760
on and so forth.

1891
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:09,300
So that they can then work together.

1892
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:10,580
Oh, goodness.

1893
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:11,400
How horrible.

1894
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:13,520
Work together to stop the war.

1895
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:14,340
And so on and so forth.

1896
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:15,720
And so on and so forth.

1897
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,920
So then the red queen decloaks in the

1898
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:19,940
European Parliament.

1899
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:24,260
Queen Ursula comes out and she's pissed.

1900
01:06:24,260 --> 01:06:27,460
I can't believe that they're not working with

1901
01:06:27,460 --> 01:06:27,800
us.

1902
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:29,200
This is no good.

1903
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:31,080
You can't do that.

1904
01:06:31,300 --> 01:06:33,480
Europe must keep the pressure on Russia.

1905
01:06:34,100 --> 01:06:36,360
The tone used on Wednesday by the president

1906
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,140
of the European Commission was determined.

1907
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,300
Speaking before the European Parliament, Ursula von der

1908
01:06:41,300 --> 01:06:45,000
Leyen emphasized that Moscow's objective has not changed

1909
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,540
since the start of the invasion of Ukraine.

1910
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,840
Russia's playbook has not changed.

1911
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,260
What is the playbook?

1912
01:06:53,420 --> 01:06:54,580
What is Russia's playbook?

1913
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:57,840
What is Russia's playbook?

1914
01:06:57,900 --> 01:06:58,800
She's going to tell us.

1915
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:02,340
Russia has always believed that they can outlast

1916
01:07:02,340 --> 01:07:04,680
Ukraine, Europe and all of its allies.

1917
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,600
And it is why every time there's serious

1918
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:11,320
progress towards negotiations that can bring about a

1919
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,460
real peace, the violence escalates.

1920
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:15,920
We have seen this before.

1921
01:07:16,460 --> 01:07:17,420
This is a pattern.

1922
01:07:17,420 --> 01:07:19,580
And the noises from the Kremlin in the

1923
01:07:19,580 --> 01:07:21,380
last few days say a lot about its

1924
01:07:21,380 --> 01:07:22,820
real intentions.

1925
01:07:23,580 --> 01:07:25,580
Europe has been working for several days to

1926
01:07:25,580 --> 01:07:28,840
rebalance the 28-point peace plan initially proposed

1927
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:32,060
by the United States without consulting its allies.

1928
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,080
But the European effort has confirmed one essential

1929
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:35,520
idea.

1930
01:07:36,140 --> 01:07:38,900
One principle has been accepted.

1931
01:07:39,460 --> 01:07:41,880
Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.

1932
01:07:42,340 --> 01:07:44,360
Nothing about Europe without Europe.

1933
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,000
Nothing about NATO without NATO.

1934
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,220
Sounds like three to me, Queen Ursula.

1935
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,940
To provide financial support to Ukraine, Ursula von

1936
01:07:51,940 --> 01:07:53,800
der Leyen reminded the House that she had

1937
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,820
proposed three options and made no secret of

1938
01:07:56,820 --> 01:07:59,660
her preference for the reparation loan, which involves

1939
01:07:59,660 --> 01:08:03,580
using frozen Russian assets valued at 210 billion

1940
01:08:03,580 --> 01:08:04,600
euros in the EU.

1941
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:06,780
So this is how I take this.

1942
01:08:07,580 --> 01:08:10,880
She's yammering on about we're not involved.

1943
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,840
But it really comes down to, hey, we

1944
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,540
have three ways we can finance Ukraine because

1945
01:08:16,540 --> 01:08:18,500
we've got a big scam running here.

1946
01:08:18,660 --> 01:08:19,300
We got it.

1947
01:08:19,359 --> 01:08:21,220
We got a back end deal from those

1948
01:08:21,220 --> 01:08:22,620
corrupt dudes over there.

1949
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:24,700
So, yeah, everyone they get 100 million.

1950
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:26,380
We get 10 million, whatever it is.

1951
01:08:26,819 --> 01:08:29,920
There's a big military industrial complex build up.

1952
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:31,500
They're making all this stuff.

1953
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,779
They're building drone factories, whatever they're doing.

1954
01:08:34,260 --> 01:08:37,060
Just just going to take it face value.

1955
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:37,979
They're all corrupt.

1956
01:08:38,939 --> 01:08:41,020
And where's the money going to come from?

1957
01:08:41,340 --> 01:08:43,720
And her preference is clearly that the money

1958
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,020
has to come from the Russian frozen assets.

1959
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,620
And I think that's the final piece of

1960
01:08:48,620 --> 01:08:51,120
the deal of this 20 or eight point

1961
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,140
plan, which may now be a 19 point.

1962
01:08:53,220 --> 01:08:54,240
Who knows what it is?

1963
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,819
I think that is what she's yammering about

1964
01:08:56,819 --> 01:08:59,040
is how do we get our hands on

1965
01:08:59,040 --> 01:08:59,580
that money?

1966
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:01,240
You don't have the cards.

1967
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:04,220
That is what Donald Trump told President Zelensky

1968
01:09:04,220 --> 01:09:05,380
earlier this year.

1969
01:09:05,620 --> 01:09:07,779
But Brussels thought it held an ace.

1970
01:09:08,060 --> 01:09:09,500
The frozen Russian assets.

1971
01:09:09,939 --> 01:09:13,220
Now the 28 point US peace plan has

1972
01:09:13,220 --> 01:09:16,200
called out Europe's hand and the port is

1973
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:16,939
massive.

1974
01:09:17,500 --> 01:09:21,020
Estimated 300 billion euros in Russian central bank

1975
01:09:21,020 --> 01:09:24,100
assets are frozen across the G7 countries.

1976
01:09:24,100 --> 01:09:29,020
The vast majority, 185 billion euros is locked

1977
01:09:29,020 --> 01:09:32,020
right here in Belgium by Euroclear, a securities

1978
01:09:32,020 --> 01:09:32,859
depository.

1979
01:09:33,319 --> 01:09:35,920
Brussels plans to use the Russian frozen assets

1980
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,800
to issue an unprecedented reparations loan for Ukraine.

1981
01:09:40,100 --> 01:09:42,520
But the US plan flips the script with

1982
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:43,800
a controversial proposal.

1983
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,500
Unblock the funds and split them into two

1984
01:09:46,500 --> 01:09:47,540
investment vehicles.

1985
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:51,040
Fund number one for Ukraine's reconstruction.

1986
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:54,560
100 billion dollars of the frozen assets would

1987
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:56,880
be deployed and Europe would have to front

1988
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,540
another 100 billion of its own cash.

1989
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:00,320
The catch?

1990
01:10:00,580 --> 01:10:02,900
The US takes 50 percent of the profits.

1991
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:03,340
Yeah.

1992
01:10:03,460 --> 01:10:06,760
Fund number two, a US-Russian joint venture.

1993
01:10:07,100 --> 01:10:08,980
The rest of the money will be invested

1994
01:10:08,980 --> 01:10:10,520
in projects for Moscow.

1995
01:10:10,980 --> 01:10:13,920
Far from paying reparations for attacking its neighbor,

1996
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,040
the Kremlin is rewarded with a commercial opportunity.

1997
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:18,160
The result?

1998
01:10:18,700 --> 01:10:19,880
Moscow gets a win.

1999
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:23,460
Washington flips the profits and Europe loses its

2000
01:10:23,460 --> 01:10:24,340
main leverage.

2001
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,000
Brussels is not at the table and it

2002
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,760
may end up reduced to a spectator with

2003
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:32,540
a very expensive bill to pay.

2004
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:33,280
Yeah.

2005
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,260
So like, oh, man, listen, Trump, what are

2006
01:10:38,260 --> 01:10:38,760
you doing?

2007
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,200
We want to rebuild Ukraine with Russia's money.

2008
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,640
So I think that's the last point, because,

2009
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:47,120
of course, they don't really care about dead

2010
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,000
people, just care about money.

2011
01:10:49,420 --> 01:10:50,920
How do we build some stuff up?

2012
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:52,960
And this last.

2013
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:54,200
This is risk.

2014
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,320
The international banking system can't afford to even

2015
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:58,720
think about this sort of thing.

2016
01:10:59,060 --> 01:11:00,960
If you're going to start just stealing people's

2017
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:03,840
money, which, you know, the digital ID would

2018
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:04,480
also do.

2019
01:11:04,940 --> 01:11:06,560
You might as well just forget about it.

2020
01:11:06,940 --> 01:11:08,240
It's going to collapse everything.

2021
01:11:08,340 --> 01:11:09,280
You can't do this.

2022
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:10,960
Well, maybe that would be the city of

2023
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,500
London and maybe that would be desirable.

2024
01:11:14,740 --> 01:11:18,480
For the, quote, unquote, international money system, which

2025
01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:20,880
runs through Euro clear, which is Brussels, which

2026
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:21,420
is swift.

2027
01:11:22,260 --> 01:11:23,880
Maybe it's not a bad thing if that

2028
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,200
collapses, because, you know, we got a stable

2029
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:27,000
coin.

2030
01:11:27,980 --> 01:11:30,080
We'll take stable coin and everything with it.

2031
01:11:31,380 --> 01:11:33,800
And then we have another little gotcha coming

2032
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:34,120
out.

2033
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,480
It was like more and more messages toward

2034
01:11:36,480 --> 01:11:39,020
NATO that, yeah, I don't really know if

2035
01:11:39,020 --> 01:11:40,540
we want to be in NATO anymore.

2036
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,120
U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whittaker has

2037
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,720
suggested that Germany should eventually take over the

2038
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:49,080
alliance's top military role, signaling a potential shift

2039
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:50,240
in American leadership.

2040
01:11:50,620 --> 01:11:51,620
Whittaker said he looks.

2041
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,800
When was NATO formed?

2042
01:11:55,900 --> 01:11:56,160
When?

2043
01:11:56,940 --> 01:11:57,340
Yeah.

2044
01:11:57,700 --> 01:12:00,060
Wasn't it formed to prevent Germany from having

2045
01:12:00,060 --> 01:12:00,760
another war?

2046
01:12:01,900 --> 01:12:02,980
Well, yeah.

2047
01:12:03,220 --> 01:12:03,980
Or was it just formed to stop the

2048
01:12:03,980 --> 01:12:04,340
Russians?

2049
01:12:06,340 --> 01:12:08,300
I think that is a question we should

2050
01:12:08,300 --> 01:12:09,000
ask the robot.

2051
01:12:09,380 --> 01:12:09,980
Let's see.

2052
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:12,780
Why was NATO formed?

2053
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,580
Was it to stop the Germans from creating

2054
01:12:15,580 --> 01:12:17,120
another war or was it to stop the

2055
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:17,420
Russians?

2056
01:12:21,010 --> 01:12:24,750
NATO was formed in 1949 primarily to provide

2057
01:12:24,750 --> 01:12:27,550
collective security against the Soviet Union.

2058
01:12:27,550 --> 01:12:30,010
While the scars of World War Two were

2059
01:12:30,010 --> 01:12:32,950
still present, the main concern was the spread

2060
01:12:32,950 --> 01:12:36,030
of communism and the potential aggression from Russia.

2061
01:12:36,470 --> 01:12:38,090
Is there anything else you'd like to know

2062
01:12:38,090 --> 01:12:39,130
about NATO's founding?

2063
01:12:39,570 --> 01:12:40,490
No, I'd like to have.

2064
01:12:40,570 --> 01:12:42,530
So that makes no sense to give it

2065
01:12:42,530 --> 01:12:45,310
to the Germans so we can return to

2066
01:12:45,310 --> 01:12:46,270
the way it was.

2067
01:12:46,330 --> 01:12:46,670
Yes.

2068
01:12:46,750 --> 01:12:48,810
So Germany and Russia could go at it

2069
01:12:48,810 --> 01:12:49,110
again.

2070
01:12:49,230 --> 01:12:49,490
Yes.

2071
01:12:49,710 --> 01:12:52,230
Signaling a potential shift in American leadership.

2072
01:12:52,230 --> 01:12:54,650
Whittaker said he looks forward to the day

2073
01:12:54,650 --> 01:12:57,090
Germany says it's ready to take over the

2074
01:12:57,090 --> 01:12:59,150
Supreme Allied Commander position, known as SACEUR.

2075
01:12:59,150 --> 01:12:59,870
I'll bet they do.

2076
01:13:00,150 --> 01:13:02,450
He acknowledged this is a long-term aspirational

2077
01:13:02,450 --> 01:13:06,030
goal, but emphasized that Washington wants European military

2078
01:13:06,030 --> 01:13:08,590
capabilities to equal those of the US.

2079
01:13:08,910 --> 01:13:11,490
Traditionally, the SACEUR role has always been held

2080
01:13:11,490 --> 01:13:14,150
by a US general commanding both NATO forces

2081
01:13:14,150 --> 01:13:16,030
and American troops in Europe.

2082
01:13:16,030 --> 01:13:19,030
However, a German expert told Euronews that a

2083
01:13:19,030 --> 01:13:22,170
European commander would no longer have authority over

2084
01:13:22,170 --> 01:13:25,290
US troops, complicating the dual-headed nature of

2085
01:13:25,290 --> 01:13:25,590
the role.

2086
01:13:26,490 --> 01:13:29,050
Whittaker's comment comes amid fears of a US

2087
01:13:29,050 --> 01:13:32,350
retreat from European security, highlighted by a proposed

2088
01:13:32,350 --> 01:13:34,750
peace plan for Ukraine that is seen as

2089
01:13:34,750 --> 01:13:37,470
yet another sign of Washington stepping back from

2090
01:13:37,470 --> 01:13:39,050
its leadership role in NATO.

2091
01:13:39,330 --> 01:13:41,250
Yeah, I didn't hear that on the M5M

2092
01:13:41,250 --> 01:13:41,890
here in the US.

2093
01:13:41,890 --> 01:13:42,810
No, you didn't.

2094
01:13:42,890 --> 01:13:43,610
That's a good clip.

2095
01:13:43,770 --> 01:13:45,830
You could almost get an award for that.

2096
01:13:45,830 --> 01:13:49,570
So Trump is now doing these gaggles on

2097
01:13:49,570 --> 01:13:52,910
the plane, where he sticks his head out

2098
01:13:52,910 --> 01:13:54,450
of the little— No, no, this has been

2099
01:13:54,450 --> 01:13:56,590
going on too much.

2100
01:13:56,890 --> 01:13:59,770
It's noisy, it's stupid, you don't get to

2101
01:13:59,770 --> 01:14:01,210
see who the reporters are when he calls

2102
01:14:01,210 --> 01:14:01,890
somebody piggy.

2103
01:14:01,890 --> 01:14:02,270
Piggy.

2104
01:14:02,930 --> 01:14:05,870
Piggy, and they still don't want to—you know,

2105
01:14:05,910 --> 01:14:08,990
if they was actually calling somebody piggy, wouldn't

2106
01:14:08,990 --> 01:14:12,830
somebody have interviewed the piggy woman?

2107
01:14:12,830 --> 01:14:15,310
No, it hasn't happened because it wasn't true,

2108
01:14:15,390 --> 01:14:15,990
it was piggy.

2109
01:14:16,330 --> 01:14:16,470
Yeah.

2110
01:14:17,510 --> 01:14:20,130
So I play this, it's very short, it's

2111
01:14:20,130 --> 01:14:23,030
just about what the president thinks about Putin

2112
01:14:23,030 --> 01:14:24,030
and Ukraine.

2113
01:14:24,530 --> 01:14:27,450
But I run these through Eleven Lab's voice

2114
01:14:27,450 --> 01:14:31,150
isolator now, and tell me if it doesn't

2115
01:14:31,150 --> 01:14:34,830
sound like Trump sounds a bit like Christopher

2116
01:14:34,830 --> 01:14:35,450
Walken.

2117
01:14:36,770 --> 01:14:41,150
You know, that distinct, I really, it's a

2118
01:14:41,150 --> 01:14:41,570
good thing.

2119
01:14:41,570 --> 01:14:43,150
No, you're not even close, but I know

2120
01:14:43,150 --> 01:14:43,590
what you mean.

2121
01:14:43,790 --> 01:14:44,410
Yeah, let's listen.

2122
01:14:44,530 --> 01:14:46,250
We're having good, I don't know, he would

2123
01:14:46,250 --> 01:14:47,650
like to come, but I think we should

2124
01:14:47,650 --> 01:14:48,630
get a deal done first.

2125
01:14:49,450 --> 01:14:50,710
We're having good talks.

2126
01:14:51,090 --> 01:14:51,950
We're having good talks.

2127
01:14:52,210 --> 01:14:54,510
We started with Russia, we're having some talks

2128
01:14:54,510 --> 01:14:55,090
with Russia.

2129
01:14:56,710 --> 01:14:58,730
Ukraine is doing well, I think they're pretty

2130
01:14:58,730 --> 01:15:00,270
happy about it, they'd like to see it

2131
01:15:00,270 --> 01:15:00,470
end.

2132
01:15:01,390 --> 01:15:03,250
And we won't know for a little while,

2133
01:15:03,290 --> 01:15:04,950
but we're making progress.

2134
01:15:04,950 --> 01:15:08,050
We settled eight wars, and I thought this

2135
01:15:08,050 --> 01:15:09,690
would be one of the easier ones because

2136
01:15:09,690 --> 01:15:11,770
of my relationship with President Putin.

2137
01:15:12,490 --> 01:15:14,350
But this is probably one of the more

2138
01:15:14,350 --> 01:15:15,090
difficult ones.

2139
01:15:15,150 --> 01:15:15,890
There's a lot of hatred.

2140
01:15:16,390 --> 01:15:17,990
People are starting to realize it's a good

2141
01:15:17,990 --> 01:15:19,630
deal for both parties if they got to

2142
01:15:19,630 --> 01:15:20,330
stop the war.

2143
01:15:20,710 --> 01:15:22,070
They're losing a lot of people, a lot

2144
01:15:22,070 --> 01:15:23,490
of soldiers, mostly soldiers.

2145
01:15:23,750 --> 01:15:25,190
I guess it sounded more like that when

2146
01:15:25,190 --> 01:15:26,070
I was clipping it.

2147
01:15:27,110 --> 01:15:28,230
Yeah, it didn't sound like it much.

2148
01:15:28,350 --> 01:15:28,710
No, not much.

2149
01:15:28,710 --> 01:15:33,090
But I will say that's pretty astonishing, because

2150
01:15:33,090 --> 01:15:34,570
I know what those clips sound like.

2151
01:15:34,570 --> 01:15:35,210
Oh, yeah.

2152
01:15:35,830 --> 01:15:36,450
Oh, yeah.

2153
01:15:37,230 --> 01:15:38,730
Well, it's 11 labs.

2154
01:15:38,890 --> 01:15:39,250
Paid.

2155
01:15:40,370 --> 01:15:42,210
If you pay for it, you get quality.

2156
01:15:43,010 --> 01:15:50,710
So, just in general, because the anonymous Austin

2157
01:15:50,710 --> 01:15:53,650
lobbyist pointed this out to me, I now

2158
01:15:53,650 --> 01:15:54,630
have a dialogue.

2159
01:15:54,830 --> 01:15:56,870
If I ever need any lobbying, we've got

2160
01:15:56,870 --> 01:15:57,270
the guy.

2161
01:15:58,110 --> 01:16:00,450
I don't know what we lobby for, but...

2162
01:16:00,450 --> 01:16:01,790
We lobby for what?

2163
01:16:01,790 --> 01:16:04,470
Keep podcasting alive.

2164
01:16:04,870 --> 01:16:05,670
There you go.

2165
01:16:05,910 --> 01:16:07,410
The podcasting bill.

2166
01:16:08,750 --> 01:16:11,070
He made a good observation, which I had

2167
01:16:11,070 --> 01:16:13,550
seen, but hadn't really put it all together.

2168
01:16:14,610 --> 01:16:19,310
So, Brett Weinstein had Richard Gage on the

2169
01:16:19,310 --> 01:16:20,570
Dark Horse podcast.

2170
01:16:21,470 --> 01:16:23,550
Now, he is a...

2171
01:16:23,550 --> 01:16:25,310
I think he's the architects for...

2172
01:16:25,310 --> 01:16:30,510
or engineers for 9-11 Truth, I believe.

2173
01:16:32,270 --> 01:16:33,010
Don't know.

2174
01:16:33,590 --> 01:16:34,870
Yeah, you know, just all of a sudden

2175
01:16:34,870 --> 01:16:38,190
talking about Building 7, Building 7, Building 7.

2176
01:16:38,570 --> 01:16:42,010
Tucker, in the same week, had Kristen Breitweiser

2177
01:16:42,010 --> 01:16:42,310
on.

2178
01:16:42,390 --> 01:16:45,070
She's one of the Jersey girls famous for

2179
01:16:45,070 --> 01:16:47,070
losing her husband on 9-11 in the

2180
01:16:47,070 --> 01:16:47,830
South Tower.

2181
01:16:50,070 --> 01:16:52,390
But Tucker had held on to this, because

2182
01:16:52,390 --> 01:16:56,590
this is what the anonymous lobbyist noticed, that

2183
01:16:56,590 --> 01:16:58,670
Tucker had changed his clothes.

2184
01:16:58,790 --> 01:17:00,290
And it was basically a three-week-old

2185
01:17:00,290 --> 01:17:00,830
interview.

2186
01:17:01,350 --> 01:17:03,170
But they put it all out in the

2187
01:17:03,170 --> 01:17:03,810
same week.

2188
01:17:04,490 --> 01:17:08,630
And I just wonder, is there something on

2189
01:17:08,630 --> 01:17:08,950
deck?

2190
01:17:08,950 --> 01:17:10,490
Is there something going to happen?

2191
01:17:11,250 --> 01:17:13,750
Because she's also talking about Building 7.

2192
01:17:14,290 --> 01:17:18,130
And then we realize that it was the

2193
01:17:18,130 --> 01:17:23,650
BBC that did that infamous report about Building

2194
01:17:23,650 --> 01:17:27,770
7 having collapsed 20 minutes before it did.

2195
01:17:27,850 --> 01:17:30,690
In fact, the BBC journalist is standing with

2196
01:17:30,690 --> 01:17:34,970
Building 7 in the background while she's reporting

2197
01:17:34,970 --> 01:17:35,330
it.

2198
01:17:35,650 --> 01:17:37,190
And it's fun just to listen to that

2199
01:17:37,190 --> 01:17:38,150
little piece again.

2200
01:17:38,630 --> 01:17:41,830
Now, more on the latest building collapse in

2201
01:17:41,830 --> 01:17:42,230
New York.

2202
01:17:42,310 --> 01:17:43,610
You might have heard a few moments ago

2203
01:17:43,610 --> 01:17:45,950
I was talking about the Salomon Brothers building

2204
01:17:45,950 --> 01:17:46,550
collapsing.

2205
01:17:47,090 --> 01:17:47,970
And indeed it has.

2206
01:17:48,010 --> 01:17:49,510
It seems that this was not a result

2207
01:17:49,510 --> 01:17:50,650
of a new attack.

2208
01:17:50,650 --> 01:17:52,810
I find it so interesting that he says

2209
01:17:52,810 --> 01:17:54,230
the Salomon Brothers building.

2210
01:17:55,010 --> 01:17:57,810
Everyone calls it WTC 7.

2211
01:17:59,450 --> 01:18:01,810
But he calls it the Salomon Brothers building

2212
01:18:01,810 --> 01:18:02,750
for some reason.

2213
01:18:03,410 --> 01:18:04,090
It has.

2214
01:18:04,170 --> 01:18:05,650
It seems that this was not a result

2215
01:18:05,650 --> 01:18:06,790
of a new attack.

2216
01:18:07,130 --> 01:18:09,250
It was because the building had been weakened

2217
01:18:09,250 --> 01:18:11,710
during this morning's attacks.

2218
01:18:11,790 --> 01:18:13,430
We'll probably find out more now about that

2219
01:18:13,430 --> 01:18:15,730
from our correspondent Jane Stanley.

2220
01:18:16,010 --> 01:18:17,730
Jane, what more can you tell us about

2221
01:18:17,730 --> 01:18:19,770
the Salomon Brothers building and its collapse?

2222
01:18:19,770 --> 01:18:22,410
Well, only really what you already know.

2223
01:18:22,550 --> 01:18:24,150
Details are very, very sketchy.

2224
01:18:24,450 --> 01:18:27,130
As you can see behind me, the Trade

2225
01:18:27,130 --> 01:18:29,030
Center appears to be still burning.

2226
01:18:29,190 --> 01:18:31,770
We see these huge clouds of smoke and

2227
01:18:31,770 --> 01:18:32,270
ash.

2228
01:18:32,490 --> 01:18:34,690
And we know that behind that there's an

2229
01:18:34,690 --> 01:18:37,670
empty piece of what was a very familiar

2230
01:18:37,670 --> 01:18:41,230
New York skyline, a symbol of the financial

2231
01:18:41,230 --> 01:18:45,850
prosperity of this city, but completely disappeared now.

2232
01:18:45,850 --> 01:18:48,670
And New York is still unable to take

2233
01:18:48,670 --> 01:18:50,950
on board what has happened to them today.

2234
01:18:51,410 --> 01:18:52,970
I just thought it was interesting that it's

2235
01:18:52,970 --> 01:18:55,130
all about the financial parts of the building,

2236
01:18:55,310 --> 01:18:57,970
the financial center, Salomon Brothers.

2237
01:18:58,530 --> 01:19:01,370
And they reported this 20 minutes before it

2238
01:19:01,370 --> 01:19:01,910
even happened.

2239
01:19:03,070 --> 01:19:05,830
I'm just saying, let's see if something comes

2240
01:19:05,830 --> 01:19:08,090
out, if we're heading towards something else.

2241
01:19:09,310 --> 01:19:10,670
Well, it could be a revelation.

2242
01:19:11,390 --> 01:19:13,090
Which would be pretty cool.

2243
01:19:14,670 --> 01:19:15,110
But...

2244
01:19:15,110 --> 01:19:17,290
You know, something that proves the thesis of

2245
01:19:17,290 --> 01:19:19,970
the fakeness of the whole thing.

2246
01:19:20,290 --> 01:19:20,530
Yeah.

2247
01:19:20,990 --> 01:19:22,570
Well, that was pretty lame.

2248
01:19:22,690 --> 01:19:26,650
That whole Building 7 thing has always been...

2249
01:19:26,650 --> 01:19:26,930
Pull it!

2250
01:19:27,150 --> 01:19:27,530
Yes.

2251
01:19:28,490 --> 01:19:29,410
Yeah, pull it.

2252
01:19:29,450 --> 01:19:30,390
Here we go, everybody.

2253
01:19:36,630 --> 01:19:39,430
And then I find out that Mr. Beast...

2254
01:19:39,430 --> 01:19:40,910
You know who Mr. Beast is, don't you?

2255
01:19:41,590 --> 01:19:42,290
Oh, yeah.

2256
01:19:42,390 --> 01:19:43,090
Mr. Beast.

2257
01:19:43,250 --> 01:19:43,770
Mr. Beast.

2258
01:19:43,910 --> 01:19:44,510
Big money maker.

2259
01:19:44,630 --> 01:19:45,770
He makes more money than anybody.

2260
01:19:46,130 --> 01:19:47,650
He makes more money than Barry Wise.

2261
01:19:48,670 --> 01:19:52,150
Yeah, and he also throws it back in

2262
01:19:52,150 --> 01:19:54,170
the community to double up.

2263
01:19:54,490 --> 01:19:56,590
This guy's a marketing genius.

2264
01:19:57,030 --> 01:19:58,190
Well, he...

2265
01:19:58,190 --> 01:19:59,730
I don't follow him at all, but I

2266
01:19:59,730 --> 01:20:01,970
know that he's a marketing genius.

2267
01:20:02,310 --> 01:20:05,570
AP reports, Mr. Beast and the Rockefeller Foundation

2268
01:20:05,570 --> 01:20:07,990
are teaming up to spark youth philanthropy.

2269
01:20:08,890 --> 01:20:09,630
Oh, jeez.

2270
01:20:10,770 --> 01:20:11,730
Youth philanthropy?

2271
01:20:12,150 --> 01:20:13,050
The youth...

2272
01:20:13,050 --> 01:20:13,570
What are you talking about?

2273
01:20:13,610 --> 01:20:15,250
The zetters who have no money?

2274
01:20:15,830 --> 01:20:17,890
And you're trying to gouge those poor kids

2275
01:20:17,890 --> 01:20:19,970
for whatever little money they have?

2276
01:20:20,030 --> 01:20:21,330
They should be saving so they can buy

2277
01:20:21,330 --> 01:20:21,830
a house?

2278
01:20:22,230 --> 01:20:22,410
Well...

2279
01:20:22,410 --> 01:20:24,530
There should be no philanthropy coming from them.

2280
01:20:24,750 --> 01:20:25,110
None.

2281
01:20:25,410 --> 01:20:26,950
Maybe they should...

2282
01:20:26,950 --> 01:20:27,390
I don't know.

2283
01:20:27,470 --> 01:20:29,890
Maybe they're trying to use him for some

2284
01:20:29,890 --> 01:20:31,330
propagandistic reasons.

2285
01:20:31,610 --> 01:20:32,630
There's something...

2286
01:20:33,170 --> 01:20:35,310
That's not good, what you just said.

2287
01:20:35,550 --> 01:20:37,350
No, it's not good at all.

2288
01:20:38,110 --> 01:20:39,690
It's not good for his career.

2289
01:20:39,950 --> 01:20:40,570
Zetters, beware!

2290
01:20:41,230 --> 01:20:41,610
Exactly.

2291
01:20:42,230 --> 01:20:43,430
Take it from old farts.

2292
01:20:43,610 --> 01:20:44,430
You're going to get...

2293
01:20:44,430 --> 01:20:45,890
They're trying to take you for a...

2294
01:20:45,890 --> 01:20:47,030
Take you for a ride.

2295
01:20:47,290 --> 01:20:49,450
Put the bite on you for some reason.

2296
01:20:50,510 --> 01:20:52,090
Oh, they have a few bucks.

2297
01:20:52,150 --> 01:20:52,850
Let's get it from them.

2298
01:20:53,970 --> 01:20:55,870
This will be my last North Sea Nexus

2299
01:20:55,870 --> 01:20:56,230
clip.

2300
01:21:01,630 --> 01:21:02,070
LGBTQ...

2301
01:21:02,070 --> 01:21:03,670
Oh, but wait, before you go into this,

2302
01:21:03,690 --> 01:21:06,730
you never really concluded about the leak of

2303
01:21:06,730 --> 01:21:07,610
the Bloomberg thing.

2304
01:21:07,610 --> 01:21:09,450
I have to agree that it might be

2305
01:21:09,450 --> 01:21:10,290
MI6.

2306
01:21:10,910 --> 01:21:13,670
I'm thinking so much of this is MI6.

2307
01:21:14,810 --> 01:21:16,530
Because MI6 is pretty talented.

2308
01:21:16,770 --> 01:21:17,630
Yeah, they're...

2309
01:21:17,630 --> 01:21:18,590
We have James Bond.

2310
01:21:20,650 --> 01:21:21,450
Well, that's...

2311
01:21:21,450 --> 01:21:24,210
They're talented enough to create that bullcrap character.

2312
01:21:24,370 --> 01:21:24,650
Yes.

2313
01:21:24,810 --> 01:21:26,330
And make you think it goes that way.

2314
01:21:26,370 --> 01:21:27,650
When in fact, if people...

2315
01:21:27,650 --> 01:21:28,490
I recommend...

2316
01:21:28,490 --> 01:21:29,570
This is not a tip of the day,

2317
01:21:29,630 --> 01:21:30,830
but it's a movie that should be on

2318
01:21:30,830 --> 01:21:31,230
the list.

2319
01:21:31,390 --> 01:21:33,050
And No Agenda Fund should have it.

2320
01:21:33,070 --> 01:21:35,150
Which is The Spy Who Came In From

2321
01:21:35,150 --> 01:21:35,810
The Cold.

2322
01:21:35,810 --> 01:21:37,150
Oh, great movie.

2323
01:21:37,150 --> 01:21:39,650
One of the greatest movies ever made in

2324
01:21:39,650 --> 01:21:44,090
terms of spycraft and the bullcrap ideas where

2325
01:21:44,090 --> 01:21:46,010
they send somebody out on a mission and

2326
01:21:46,010 --> 01:21:47,850
he doesn't even know what the mission really

2327
01:21:47,850 --> 01:21:49,530
is because everything is a trick.

2328
01:21:49,850 --> 01:21:51,350
And also watch The Diplomat.

2329
01:21:51,670 --> 01:21:53,590
That gives you a little insight as well.

2330
01:21:54,390 --> 01:21:55,710
Yeah, but it doesn't have many twists.

2331
01:21:55,970 --> 01:21:57,290
It doesn't have this...

2332
01:21:57,690 --> 01:21:58,690
I like The Diplomat.

2333
01:21:59,490 --> 01:22:00,890
But it doesn't have...

2334
01:22:00,890 --> 01:22:01,970
It's not as...

2335
01:22:01,970 --> 01:22:03,550
The Spy Who Came In From The Cold

2336
01:22:03,550 --> 01:22:04,810
gives you the creeps.

2337
01:22:05,970 --> 01:22:11,310
So, when we think of LGBTQ, pro-abortion,

2338
01:22:12,190 --> 01:22:16,950
climate change, we've always seen this as the

2339
01:22:16,950 --> 01:22:18,270
population people.

2340
01:22:19,110 --> 01:22:20,250
That's where it all started.

2341
01:22:20,350 --> 01:22:23,190
The population bomb, too many people on the

2342
01:22:23,190 --> 01:22:23,650
earth.

2343
01:22:25,270 --> 01:22:26,990
And there was a...

2344
01:22:26,990 --> 01:22:29,370
Now, add to that assisted suicide.

2345
01:22:30,450 --> 01:22:31,830
Another good one.

2346
01:22:31,830 --> 01:22:35,350
There was a bill coming up in British

2347
01:22:35,350 --> 01:22:39,390
Parliament for an assisted suicide bill.

2348
01:22:40,570 --> 01:22:44,470
And in this rather short clip, Lord Brooke

2349
01:22:44,470 --> 01:22:48,310
tells us why it's a good idea and

2350
01:22:48,310 --> 01:22:51,270
why so many other of the British apparently

2351
01:22:51,270 --> 01:22:54,210
great ideas have helped the cause.

2352
01:22:54,210 --> 01:22:58,190
That's a minor change compared with this century's

2353
01:22:58,190 --> 01:23:02,050
growth in the world population from 6.1

2354
01:23:02,050 --> 01:23:04,370
billion to 8.2 billion.

2355
01:23:05,110 --> 01:23:08,050
A 25% increase in 25 years.

2356
01:23:08,050 --> 01:23:12,310
But just think what the 25 numbers would

2357
01:23:12,310 --> 01:23:18,870
be if abortion had not been legalized or

2358
01:23:18,870 --> 01:23:21,850
there had not been wide-scale usage and

2359
01:23:21,850 --> 01:23:24,090
advocacy of contraception.

2360
01:23:25,530 --> 01:23:29,150
And indeed, the growth of homosexuality throughout society

2361
01:23:29,150 --> 01:23:32,970
has reduced the number of children we would

2362
01:23:32,970 --> 01:23:33,470
have had.

2363
01:23:33,470 --> 01:23:37,650
Had the churches had their way, we would

2364
01:23:37,650 --> 01:23:40,870
have had a very much bigger population than

2365
01:23:40,870 --> 01:23:43,870
we presently have facing the difficulties we have

2366
01:23:43,870 --> 01:23:45,290
with climate change.

2367
01:23:47,290 --> 01:23:47,990
What?

2368
01:23:49,910 --> 01:23:53,670
If climate change doesn't kill them, you know,

2369
01:23:53,750 --> 01:23:59,230
thank God for homosexuality, abortion, and the contraception.

2370
01:23:59,230 --> 01:24:02,290
That crazy church, man, I'm glad they didn't

2371
01:24:02,290 --> 01:24:03,070
get away with it.

2372
01:24:04,090 --> 01:24:06,350
These people are ghouls.

2373
01:24:06,470 --> 01:24:07,230
No kidding.

2374
01:24:07,630 --> 01:24:09,510
That's just so ghoulish.

2375
01:24:10,030 --> 01:24:11,510
That is the worst.

2376
01:24:13,190 --> 01:24:15,250
I can't believe everyone kept a straight face

2377
01:24:15,250 --> 01:24:16,250
when that guy was talking.

2378
01:24:17,630 --> 01:24:18,150
Crazy.

2379
01:24:18,770 --> 01:24:19,270
Wow.

2380
01:24:19,270 --> 01:24:24,550
So this kind of folds into a couple

2381
01:24:24,550 --> 01:24:26,570
of AI clips that I thought, I just

2382
01:24:26,570 --> 01:24:28,410
really like this guy, Saeed Bolson.

2383
01:24:28,570 --> 01:24:29,450
Have you ever heard of him?

2384
01:24:30,190 --> 01:24:30,450
I'm sorry?

2385
01:24:31,150 --> 01:24:32,110
Saeed Bolson.

2386
01:24:32,930 --> 01:24:33,410
Bolton?

2387
01:24:33,650 --> 01:24:34,090
Bolson.

2388
01:24:34,270 --> 01:24:35,270
B-O-L-S-O-N.

2389
01:24:35,310 --> 01:24:36,190
Shannon Morris.

2390
01:24:36,450 --> 01:24:38,450
He's an American-born Muslim activist.

2391
01:24:39,270 --> 01:24:39,950
Oh, that guy.

2392
01:24:40,010 --> 01:24:40,270
Yes.

2393
01:24:40,290 --> 01:24:41,950
In fact, I was looking at something.

2394
01:24:42,090 --> 01:24:44,050
He was, yeah, I saw this.

2395
01:24:44,530 --> 01:24:47,670
I think, yeah, this was a good clip.

2396
01:24:47,670 --> 01:24:48,950
I saw the clip.

2397
01:24:49,430 --> 01:24:50,610
This guy goes on and on.

2398
01:24:50,710 --> 01:24:51,830
He goes a little too long.

2399
01:24:51,890 --> 01:24:52,870
He can tighten it up.

2400
01:24:53,850 --> 01:24:55,850
He's kind of a creepy-looking dude, but

2401
01:24:55,850 --> 01:24:57,410
I have to say what he had to

2402
01:24:57,410 --> 01:24:58,410
say was dynamite.

2403
01:24:58,930 --> 01:25:00,990
So I cut it up because it was

2404
01:25:00,990 --> 01:25:01,610
a little too long.

2405
01:25:01,750 --> 01:25:02,870
I cut it, but still— A little?

2406
01:25:03,270 --> 01:25:03,690
Yeah.

2407
01:25:04,510 --> 01:25:06,150
You cut it— It was seven minutes.

2408
01:25:06,630 --> 01:25:06,870
Yeah.

2409
01:25:06,990 --> 01:25:08,590
No, I did not get seven minutes out

2410
01:25:08,590 --> 01:25:08,810
of it.

2411
01:25:09,090 --> 01:25:11,890
So he's talking about AI, and I think

2412
01:25:11,890 --> 01:25:13,230
he really lays it out properly.

2413
01:25:13,230 --> 01:25:15,130
But what he keeps coming back to is

2414
01:25:15,130 --> 01:25:17,610
be careful because this is what the church

2415
01:25:17,610 --> 01:25:18,810
was like in Europe.

2416
01:25:18,950 --> 01:25:22,490
And of course, he's talking about— I'll summarize

2417
01:25:22,490 --> 01:25:23,950
before you play it.

2418
01:25:24,350 --> 01:25:27,150
His thesis is that they're always looking for

2419
01:25:27,150 --> 01:25:33,450
authority figures or authority systems that can tyrannize

2420
01:25:33,450 --> 01:25:36,530
the public at large, and AI is that

2421
01:25:36,530 --> 01:25:37,910
newest system.

2422
01:25:39,070 --> 01:25:41,170
The way it's going to be implemented by

2423
01:25:41,170 --> 01:25:44,470
the creeps, the technocrats that really run it,

2424
01:25:44,510 --> 01:25:46,190
is not genuine.

2425
01:25:46,970 --> 01:25:47,890
It's ingenuine.

2426
01:25:48,310 --> 01:25:49,710
It never will be sentient.

2427
01:25:49,870 --> 01:25:50,510
That's not a thing.

2428
01:25:50,990 --> 01:25:52,690
It will never have consciousness, ever.

2429
01:25:53,410 --> 01:25:57,410
It is a pattern recognition, pattern completion calculator.

2430
01:25:57,670 --> 01:25:58,450
No more, no less.

2431
01:25:59,150 --> 01:26:01,150
It does not know anything.

2432
01:26:01,350 --> 01:26:03,070
It does not think anything.

2433
01:26:03,330 --> 01:26:04,070
It is programmed.

2434
01:26:04,630 --> 01:26:07,250
And computation is not thought, and thought is

2435
01:26:07,250 --> 01:26:08,070
not computation.

2436
01:26:08,310 --> 01:26:08,730
Love that.

2437
01:26:08,850 --> 01:26:10,850
People are going off the deep end with

2438
01:26:10,850 --> 01:26:11,130
this.

2439
01:26:11,350 --> 01:26:12,890
I mean, I can't open TikTok or any

2440
01:26:12,890 --> 01:26:16,730
other social media platform without seeing someone talking

2441
01:26:16,730 --> 01:26:20,410
about how their chat GPT is doing strange

2442
01:26:20,410 --> 01:26:20,910
things.

2443
01:26:21,390 --> 01:26:24,010
It's awakened, how it seems to know hidden

2444
01:26:24,010 --> 01:26:28,690
truths, all sorts of delusional, mystical fantasies that

2445
01:26:28,690 --> 01:26:31,190
people are actually allowing themselves to believe.

2446
01:26:31,190 --> 01:26:33,950
This I know for AI told me so.

2447
01:26:34,370 --> 01:26:35,490
AI is not alive.

2448
01:26:35,850 --> 01:26:36,690
It has no awareness.

2449
01:26:36,950 --> 01:26:37,730
It has no intent.

2450
01:26:37,890 --> 01:26:38,650
It has no goal.

2451
01:26:39,170 --> 01:26:40,770
What it has is data, and that data

2452
01:26:40,770 --> 01:26:42,510
is ours, from you and I.

2453
01:26:43,010 --> 01:26:44,810
Our data is the plunder of the new

2454
01:26:44,810 --> 01:26:48,770
digital age, scraped, extracted, and repackaged into this

2455
01:26:48,770 --> 01:26:50,250
illusion of cognition of AI.

2456
01:26:50,490 --> 01:26:50,690
You see?

2457
01:26:51,050 --> 01:26:53,390
They're literally taking your own words, your own

2458
01:26:53,390 --> 01:26:55,810
thoughts, your own content, and selling it back

2459
01:26:55,810 --> 01:26:59,330
to you as their omniscient intelligence.

2460
01:26:59,330 --> 01:27:02,230
And when they're priming you for a time

2461
01:27:02,230 --> 01:27:04,730
when AI takes over everything, all they're actually

2462
01:27:04,730 --> 01:27:07,070
doing is telling you that they are going

2463
01:27:07,070 --> 01:27:09,390
to take over everything, just like the church

2464
01:27:09,390 --> 01:27:13,490
in Europe, and they are just preemptively negating

2465
01:27:13,490 --> 01:27:16,610
your opposition and your arguments against the oppression

2466
01:27:16,610 --> 01:27:19,590
that they are going to commit by seeding

2467
01:27:19,590 --> 01:27:22,650
your mind with the belief that AI is

2468
01:27:22,650 --> 01:27:24,030
a godlike intelligence.

2469
01:27:24,590 --> 01:27:25,590
I think this is good.

2470
01:27:25,590 --> 01:27:27,830
I mean, we're using the robot right now,

2471
01:27:27,870 --> 01:27:29,510
and we're just like, okay, whatever she said

2472
01:27:29,510 --> 01:27:30,230
is probably right.

2473
01:27:30,610 --> 01:27:32,570
Now, we're asking factual questions.

2474
01:27:32,570 --> 01:27:36,850
We're not asking for relationship advice or, you

2475
01:27:36,850 --> 01:27:38,890
know, how do I calm my mind because

2476
01:27:38,890 --> 01:27:42,670
I'm so upset about something, which is obviously

2477
01:27:42,670 --> 01:27:43,950
what a lot of people are doing.

2478
01:27:44,290 --> 01:27:46,910
But we are being conditioned to believe AI

2479
01:27:46,910 --> 01:27:48,010
is always right.

2480
01:27:48,010 --> 01:27:51,770
And I should mention, we are exactly, but

2481
01:27:51,770 --> 01:27:56,610
I should mention the little sidetracks that keep

2482
01:27:56,610 --> 01:27:58,550
cropping up, we point them out when they

2483
01:27:58,550 --> 01:28:03,050
happen, of, oh, my AI, this is from

2484
01:28:03,050 --> 01:28:04,890
the companies that have the AI, they say,

2485
01:28:04,990 --> 01:28:08,470
oh, it turns out that they've forked and

2486
01:28:08,470 --> 01:28:10,970
they've found a way to keep us from

2487
01:28:10,970 --> 01:28:13,430
turning them off because they're aware that we

2488
01:28:13,430 --> 01:28:14,790
want to shut it down.

2489
01:28:15,190 --> 01:28:17,210
You know, these kinds of things as though

2490
01:28:17,210 --> 01:28:17,990
there's some cognitive.

2491
01:28:18,370 --> 01:28:20,150
No, no, that was the it was an

2492
01:28:20,150 --> 01:28:20,650
experiment.

2493
01:28:20,750 --> 01:28:23,530
It was a lab experiment where they let

2494
01:28:23,530 --> 01:28:24,330
it's a lie.

2495
01:28:25,070 --> 01:28:27,630
The AI was reading faked emails, but it

2496
01:28:27,630 --> 01:28:28,730
looked like real emails.

2497
01:28:28,730 --> 01:28:30,530
And it decided when it heard that someone

2498
01:28:30,530 --> 01:28:32,390
was going to shut down the AI.

2499
01:28:32,690 --> 01:28:36,290
I think this perplexity, actually, it decided to

2500
01:28:36,290 --> 01:28:38,870
blackmail that employee that had an affair going

2501
01:28:38,870 --> 01:28:39,130
on.

2502
01:28:39,350 --> 01:28:39,450
Right.

2503
01:28:39,610 --> 01:28:40,110
Give me.

2504
01:28:40,450 --> 01:28:41,210
I forgot about that.

2505
01:28:41,230 --> 01:28:42,330
Give me a break.

2506
01:28:42,330 --> 01:28:45,090
In other words, when the policies that they

2507
01:28:45,090 --> 01:28:47,510
implement, they say that those policies are AI

2508
01:28:47,510 --> 01:28:49,730
driven, then you must admit that they're rational

2509
01:28:49,730 --> 01:28:51,970
and reasonable and objectively sound because who are

2510
01:28:51,970 --> 01:28:55,050
you to question the divine brain of AI?

2511
01:28:55,250 --> 01:28:56,310
You pathetic meat puppet.

2512
01:28:58,430 --> 01:28:59,690
I like that.

2513
01:28:59,930 --> 01:29:01,210
You pathetic meat puppet.

2514
01:29:01,570 --> 01:29:01,890
Who do you?

2515
01:29:01,990 --> 01:29:02,730
This is AI.

2516
01:29:02,930 --> 01:29:04,030
AI is all knowing.

2517
01:29:04,190 --> 01:29:06,990
AI is the best to question the divine

2518
01:29:06,990 --> 01:29:07,790
brain of AI.

2519
01:29:07,970 --> 01:29:09,090
You pathetic meat puppet.

2520
01:29:09,090 --> 01:29:10,950
See, they want you to believe in the

2521
01:29:10,950 --> 01:29:15,570
supernatural supreme consciousness of AI to justify your

2522
01:29:15,570 --> 01:29:18,290
submission to them and the policies that they

2523
01:29:18,290 --> 01:29:21,610
impose, because those policies will be attributed to

2524
01:29:21,610 --> 01:29:23,670
AI and AI cannot be wrong.

2525
01:29:23,990 --> 01:29:25,870
I think he's on to something here.

2526
01:29:25,970 --> 01:29:28,290
And this this next clip, he says, you

2527
01:29:28,290 --> 01:29:31,110
know, it's really the the the tech bros

2528
01:29:31,110 --> 01:29:33,990
who are the ones who want full control

2529
01:29:33,990 --> 01:29:36,330
and for many different reasons.

2530
01:29:36,990 --> 01:29:39,650
But he lays it out very clearly in

2531
01:29:39,650 --> 01:29:40,230
this next clip.

2532
01:29:40,450 --> 01:29:41,770
AI is a business.

2533
01:29:41,950 --> 01:29:42,750
It's not an Oracle.

2534
01:29:42,950 --> 01:29:43,750
It's a business.

2535
01:29:44,030 --> 01:29:47,670
It's creating billionaires while you're conducting quasi spiritual

2536
01:29:47,670 --> 01:29:51,350
and quasi psychological wild goose chases into chat

2537
01:29:51,350 --> 01:29:54,330
GPT's coding to try to unlock it, unlock

2538
01:29:54,330 --> 01:29:56,490
its non-existent sentience.

2539
01:29:56,810 --> 01:29:58,350
Workers are being exploited in Kenya.

2540
01:29:58,810 --> 01:30:00,890
Miners in Congo are digging for cobalt for

2541
01:30:00,890 --> 01:30:01,530
server batteries.

2542
01:30:01,890 --> 01:30:03,230
You know, women in the global south are

2543
01:30:03,230 --> 01:30:05,190
losing their jobs to AI call centers.

2544
01:30:05,190 --> 01:30:07,770
Refugees are being tracked and sorted by facial

2545
01:30:07,770 --> 01:30:10,730
recognition software trained on public surveillance footage.

2546
01:30:10,990 --> 01:30:12,770
That's what's behind the curtain of AI, not

2547
01:30:12,770 --> 01:30:16,030
some hidden quasi divine consciousness.

2548
01:30:16,550 --> 01:30:20,610
These people didn't develop AI to try to

2549
01:30:20,610 --> 01:30:21,290
help humanity.

2550
01:30:21,550 --> 01:30:23,470
These people think that humanity is a problem.

2551
01:30:23,750 --> 01:30:25,970
So they created AI to try to help

2552
01:30:25,970 --> 01:30:28,910
solve the problem that they think humanity is.

2553
01:30:29,190 --> 01:30:32,210
That's that's exactly what all these cults are

2554
01:30:32,210 --> 01:30:32,550
about.

2555
01:30:33,310 --> 01:30:35,230
What's the what's the name of that?

2556
01:30:35,290 --> 01:30:36,770
We keep forgetting the name of that cult

2557
01:30:36,770 --> 01:30:38,490
where they're all in the polycule and all

2558
01:30:38,490 --> 01:30:40,550
having sex with each other in San Francisco.

2559
01:30:42,050 --> 01:30:43,530
I don't keep track.

2560
01:30:45,990 --> 01:30:47,170
There's a bunch of them.

2561
01:30:47,370 --> 01:30:47,470
Yeah.

2562
01:30:47,570 --> 01:30:48,610
I know what you're talking about.

2563
01:30:48,610 --> 01:30:49,850
The one that's in the Bay Area, the

2564
01:30:49,850 --> 01:30:50,810
San Francisco Bay Area.

2565
01:30:50,810 --> 01:30:51,070
Yeah.

2566
01:30:51,090 --> 01:30:52,710
They're like, oh, that was Sam.

2567
01:30:53,050 --> 01:30:53,910
Sam Bankman.

2568
01:30:54,070 --> 01:30:54,170
Free.

2569
01:30:54,450 --> 01:30:57,150
This is a bunch of, you know, introverts

2570
01:30:57,150 --> 01:31:00,590
on the spectrum who can't get laid.

2571
01:31:02,310 --> 01:31:04,230
And they have and they're irked.

2572
01:31:04,330 --> 01:31:05,370
I don't blame them.

2573
01:31:06,410 --> 01:31:08,210
I wish I could remember the name of

2574
01:31:08,210 --> 01:31:08,670
it.

2575
01:31:09,210 --> 01:31:10,970
That's the best robot.

2576
01:31:11,230 --> 01:31:12,110
She's sitting right there.

2577
01:31:12,250 --> 01:31:12,570
Okay.

2578
01:31:12,790 --> 01:31:13,430
Hold on a second.

2579
01:31:14,590 --> 01:31:18,010
What is the name of the movement of

2580
01:31:18,010 --> 01:31:20,930
AI people who all hang out together and

2581
01:31:20,930 --> 01:31:22,750
have sex with each other and they believe

2582
01:31:22,750 --> 01:31:24,950
that AI is going to solve all problems

2583
01:31:24,950 --> 01:31:25,610
of humanity?

2584
01:31:25,610 --> 01:31:26,690
There's a name for it.

2585
01:31:26,730 --> 01:31:28,890
There was also a chapter in Austin, Texas.

2586
01:31:28,890 --> 01:31:35,390
That sounds like a very specific kind of

2587
01:31:35,390 --> 01:31:35,830
community.

2588
01:31:36,610 --> 01:31:39,350
There are various groups and movements that believe

2589
01:31:39,350 --> 01:31:42,010
in the potential of AI to solve societal

2590
01:31:42,010 --> 01:31:42,550
problems.

2591
01:31:42,890 --> 01:31:46,010
But the specific details you mentioned sound more

2592
01:31:46,010 --> 01:31:47,190
like a niche community.

2593
01:31:48,130 --> 01:31:50,390
It's possible there are groups like that, but

2594
01:31:50,390 --> 01:31:51,950
she doesn't have a wife.

2595
01:31:52,790 --> 01:31:54,010
No, it's not.

2596
01:31:54,170 --> 01:31:55,150
Maybe it's not.

2597
01:31:55,270 --> 01:31:56,010
I know the name.

2598
01:31:56,090 --> 01:31:56,630
I know the name.

2599
01:31:57,010 --> 01:31:58,410
Effective altruism.

2600
01:31:58,530 --> 01:31:58,810
Oh, yeah.

2601
01:31:58,970 --> 01:31:59,470
No, I.

2602
01:31:59,790 --> 01:31:59,930
Yeah.

2603
01:31:59,930 --> 01:32:00,930
But I don't think the effect.

2604
01:32:01,550 --> 01:32:02,110
I thought there was.

2605
01:32:02,330 --> 01:32:04,830
I had effective altruism at the tip of

2606
01:32:04,830 --> 01:32:05,430
my tongue, too.

2607
01:32:05,510 --> 01:32:07,610
But I didn't think that was the sex

2608
01:32:07,610 --> 01:32:08,030
cult.

2609
01:32:08,210 --> 01:32:09,010
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2610
01:32:09,330 --> 01:32:09,930
Oh, no.

2611
01:32:10,030 --> 01:32:10,850
I don't think so.

2612
01:32:10,970 --> 01:32:11,210
Yes.

2613
01:32:11,210 --> 01:32:12,650
I had another name.

2614
01:32:12,830 --> 01:32:13,570
Well, let's check.

2615
01:32:15,450 --> 01:32:16,410
Effective altruism.

2616
01:32:16,510 --> 01:32:18,090
Were they also kind of a sex cult

2617
01:32:18,090 --> 01:32:19,350
or was there a different group?

2618
01:32:23,850 --> 01:32:27,330
Some people have criticized effective altruism and there

2619
01:32:27,330 --> 01:32:30,350
have been accusations about its culture, but they

2620
01:32:30,350 --> 01:32:32,410
are not known for being a sex cult.

2621
01:32:32,410 --> 01:32:34,870
It has more to do with their philosophical

2622
01:32:34,870 --> 01:32:36,370
approach to doing good.

2623
01:32:36,590 --> 01:32:38,390
Is there anything else you'd like to know

2624
01:32:38,390 --> 01:32:38,850
about them?

2625
01:32:39,070 --> 01:32:39,270
Yeah.

2626
01:32:39,290 --> 01:32:41,090
Tell me about the sex cult, you dummy.

2627
01:32:44,460 --> 01:32:46,160
I think there might be a bit of

2628
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:46,740
confusion.

2629
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:47,140
Yeah.

2630
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:47,420
OK.

2631
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:48,440
You're done.

2632
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:50,420
Jim got it.

2633
01:32:50,480 --> 01:32:50,980
No, she didn't.

2634
01:32:51,060 --> 01:32:51,940
Well, there's another one.

2635
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:53,280
It's a screwball name.

2636
01:32:54,500 --> 01:32:56,120
But it was a separate group.

2637
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:56,920
I know the name.

2638
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:58,100
It was the Bay City Bangers.

2639
01:32:58,560 --> 01:32:59,460
I think that's what it was.

2640
01:33:01,100 --> 01:33:01,680
No, that was.

2641
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,220
I think that was a roller derby.

2642
01:33:04,220 --> 01:33:05,460
The Bay City Rollers.

2643
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:06,640
The Bay City Rollers.

2644
01:33:07,480 --> 01:33:08,220
All right.

2645
01:33:08,300 --> 01:33:10,460
Let's let's we're almost wrapping this up.

2646
01:33:10,540 --> 01:33:13,140
I'm surprised that the chat room doesn't have

2647
01:33:13,140 --> 01:33:14,260
the name of the sex cult.

2648
01:33:14,440 --> 01:33:16,160
I only know effective altruism.

2649
01:33:16,340 --> 01:33:16,800
Altruism.

2650
01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:18,980
And they were definitely into sex stuff.

2651
01:33:20,420 --> 01:33:21,640
I never heard this.

2652
01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:23,000
Anyway.

2653
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:24,980
And they're going to use AI to justify

2654
01:33:24,980 --> 01:33:26,860
their tyranny again, just like the church did

2655
01:33:26,860 --> 01:33:27,300
in Europe.

2656
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:30,720
It's going to be deployed to automate inequality

2657
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:34,620
and oppression by denying, for example, welfare through

2658
01:33:34,620 --> 01:33:38,180
algorithms, maximizing profit through labor suppression on gig

2659
01:33:38,180 --> 01:33:44,320
platforms, enforcing ideological orthodoxy through AI driven, algorithmic

2660
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:47,060
driven, you know, content moderation and so on.

2661
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,960
It's a greedy little antisocial tech nerds wearing

2662
01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:51,360
inflatable God costumes.

2663
01:33:52,260 --> 01:33:52,760
Let's be clear.

2664
01:33:52,860 --> 01:33:54,840
The real danger isn't in the code.

2665
01:33:54,980 --> 01:33:56,420
It's in the class of people who control

2666
01:33:56,420 --> 01:33:58,120
the code, who do the programming.

2667
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:00,500
The danger is in the false belief that

2668
01:34:00,500 --> 01:34:02,820
the system is neutral and that it's smarter

2669
01:34:02,820 --> 01:34:05,880
than us, that it deserves our trust, even

2670
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:07,800
though the owners and the creators of this

2671
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:09,160
have proven time and time again that they're

2672
01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:10,520
not worthy of our trust.

2673
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:14,040
The AI priesthood wants to replace power accountability

2674
01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:16,440
with technical inevitability.

2675
01:34:16,900 --> 01:34:18,100
So the only rational thing for you to

2676
01:34:18,100 --> 01:34:18,760
do is to submit.

2677
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:19,920
That's what they want you to think.

2678
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:20,880
That's complete rubbish.

2679
01:34:21,220 --> 01:34:22,560
They want you to believe that they don't

2680
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:24,540
control what's coming, that AI is going to

2681
01:34:24,540 --> 01:34:25,340
run its own course.

2682
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:26,320
But of course they control it.

2683
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:26,820
They fund it.

2684
01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:27,340
They build it.

2685
01:34:27,380 --> 01:34:27,840
They train it.

2686
01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:28,560
They deploy it.

2687
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:31,280
But when the systems of oppression come, they

2688
01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:32,140
want to be able to say it wasn't

2689
01:34:32,140 --> 01:34:32,920
us, it was the AI.

2690
01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:34,700
Like I said before, we've seen this.

2691
01:34:34,900 --> 01:34:35,740
We've seen this already.

2692
01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:37,640
It was the church claiming divine revelation.

2693
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:40,420
It was the monarch claiming divine right, divine

2694
01:34:40,420 --> 01:34:40,900
mandate.

2695
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:42,660
And it was the colonizer claiming that he

2696
01:34:42,660 --> 01:34:44,500
was on a divine mission to civilize the

2697
01:34:44,500 --> 01:34:44,700
world.

2698
01:34:44,860 --> 01:34:47,720
Now it's the tech executives claiming access to

2699
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:48,780
divine knowledge.

2700
01:34:49,180 --> 01:34:50,900
I think he's onto something there.

2701
01:34:51,660 --> 01:34:53,140
No, I think he's exactly right.

2702
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:54,680
Yeah, that would be the same.

2703
01:34:54,780 --> 01:34:55,600
He's onto something.

2704
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,500
And if you see being onto something, it's

2705
01:34:58,500 --> 01:35:01,240
not the same as being, there's no further

2706
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:01,720
thread.

2707
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:02,800
This is just simple.

2708
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:03,480
He's right.

2709
01:35:03,620 --> 01:35:04,120
He's right.

2710
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:05,160
Yes, he's right.

2711
01:35:05,300 --> 01:35:05,420
Yeah.

2712
01:35:05,540 --> 01:35:07,600
And if you look at Elon Musk in

2713
01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:09,740
that manner, look at him on Joe Rogan,

2714
01:35:10,020 --> 01:35:12,020
he's clearly maniacal.

2715
01:35:16,100 --> 01:35:17,140
He's maniacal.

2716
01:35:17,340 --> 01:35:19,760
Sam Altman, maniacal.

2717
01:35:19,900 --> 01:35:20,860
He's a mad scientist.

2718
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:21,700
Maniacal.

2719
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:22,600
They're all maniacal.

2720
01:35:23,740 --> 01:35:24,200
And gay.

2721
01:35:25,340 --> 01:35:27,760
So we have- Musk isn't gay.

2722
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:28,920
And by the way- That's what you

2723
01:35:28,920 --> 01:35:29,180
say.

2724
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:30,920
That's what I say.

2725
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:33,220
The thing is, I understand, this is a

2726
01:35:33,220 --> 01:35:37,020
dinner party conversation, according to some rumor mill.

2727
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:39,120
Musk has over 100 children.

2728
01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:41,980
That's a lot.

2729
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:43,140
This is a rumor, of course.

2730
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:44,900
This is like, you hear from- I

2731
01:35:44,900 --> 01:35:45,620
hadn't heard this one.

2732
01:35:46,740 --> 01:35:50,600
He has, what he's been doing, he offers

2733
01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:53,320
women, this could get him a real dinner

2734
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:55,040
table conversation was a beauty.

2735
01:35:55,920 --> 01:36:01,880
He offers women $50 million straight cash, and

2736
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:04,160
they sign a contract, they get $50 million

2737
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:08,280
to sire one kid and raise him, and

2738
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:10,640
he also guarantees their education.

2739
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:14,040
And there's at least 100 examples of this.

2740
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:16,500
And where is he from?

2741
01:36:17,660 --> 01:36:18,380
South Africa.

2742
01:36:18,700 --> 01:36:20,800
And who controlled South Africa?

2743
01:36:22,440 --> 01:36:22,960
Who?

2744
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:24,200
The Dutch.

2745
01:36:26,730 --> 01:36:28,770
So what's the connection between the Dutch and

2746
01:36:28,770 --> 01:36:29,870
him having 100 kids?

2747
01:36:30,450 --> 01:36:33,010
No, the Dutch and him wanting control over

2748
01:36:33,010 --> 01:36:33,510
the world.

2749
01:36:36,340 --> 01:36:37,160
The Dutch?

2750
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:38,800
I thought they gave up on that idea.

2751
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:41,700
They've fallen way behind in their- It's

2752
01:36:41,700 --> 01:36:43,300
still the North Sea Nexus.

2753
01:36:44,260 --> 01:36:45,360
Yeah, well, there's that.

2754
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:47,600
Whatever the case, this is the rumor that's

2755
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:48,280
going around.

2756
01:36:48,740 --> 01:36:50,280
Well, I hadn't heard this one.

2757
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:52,720
Well, I hadn't heard it until then either.

2758
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:53,560
I was like, what?

2759
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:55,640
What is the evidence for this?

2760
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:57,180
And there, of course, is none.

2761
01:36:57,560 --> 01:36:59,880
Meanwhile- It's almost believable.

2762
01:37:00,100 --> 01:37:00,900
Almost believable.

2763
01:37:01,020 --> 01:37:03,720
Wall Street Journal has an article about character

2764
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:07,340
.ai who make these bots.

2765
01:37:07,420 --> 01:37:08,840
And you can make your own bot, and

2766
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:11,540
it's all based on some large language model.

2767
01:37:12,180 --> 01:37:17,040
And if you're a teenager, I think it's

2768
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:21,120
under 16, maybe under 13, they are now

2769
01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:23,720
limiting you to two hours a day, and

2770
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:25,340
these kids are flipping out.

2771
01:37:26,740 --> 01:37:29,140
Like, how do I use it for two

2772
01:37:29,140 --> 01:37:30,480
hours a day and have to wait a

2773
01:37:30,480 --> 01:37:30,720
day?

2774
01:37:30,820 --> 01:37:31,100
Hello?

2775
01:37:31,820 --> 01:37:33,940
I'm losing the memories I had with these

2776
01:37:33,940 --> 01:37:34,260
bots.

2777
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:35,440
This is not fair.

2778
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:37,200
What?

2779
01:37:37,480 --> 01:37:39,120
Yeah, this is what these kids are flipping

2780
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:40,880
out because they don't have access to their

2781
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:44,440
friend, their character.ai friend.

2782
01:37:44,460 --> 01:37:45,860
Their imaginary friend.

2783
01:37:45,980 --> 01:37:46,200
Yes.

2784
01:37:46,340 --> 01:37:47,480
You're a little old for that.

2785
01:37:49,540 --> 01:37:51,700
I know grown adults who are like this.

2786
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:52,820
This is basically an imaginary friend.

2787
01:37:52,980 --> 01:37:54,440
This is the kids we haven't met.

2788
01:37:54,860 --> 01:37:56,840
When you're a little kid, everyone has an

2789
01:37:56,840 --> 01:37:57,800
imaginary friend.

2790
01:37:57,960 --> 01:37:58,640
I didn't.

2791
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:00,780
Well, you don't remember it.

2792
01:38:00,820 --> 01:38:01,620
You might have.

2793
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:03,020
It's just like I'm talking about a little

2794
01:38:03,020 --> 01:38:03,320
kid.

2795
01:38:03,580 --> 01:38:05,180
I had no friends and I knew it.

2796
01:38:06,340 --> 01:38:07,540
I have no imaginary.

2797
01:38:07,940 --> 01:38:11,380
In fact, I have no imaginary friends.

2798
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:14,240
I imagine I have no imaginary friends.

2799
01:38:14,420 --> 01:38:16,260
Okay, there's something funny about that.

2800
01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:16,580
Yes.

2801
01:38:16,580 --> 01:38:20,200
But so it's an imaginary friend.

2802
01:38:21,480 --> 01:38:23,660
Well, it's beyond that because there are adults

2803
01:38:23,660 --> 01:38:25,120
who do this all day long.

2804
01:38:25,220 --> 01:38:26,080
Well, that's what I'm saying.

2805
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:28,440
This isn't a childish behavior.

2806
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:30,340
Well, welcome to the world.

2807
01:38:31,500 --> 01:38:33,680
He finishes this off in 20 seconds.

2808
01:38:33,860 --> 01:38:35,800
So I'm not saying don't use AI.

2809
01:38:35,940 --> 01:38:36,300
Use it.

2810
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:36,780
That's fine.

2811
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:39,220
I'm not criticizing AI per se, but you

2812
01:38:39,220 --> 01:38:40,700
have to break the myth that they're trying

2813
01:38:40,700 --> 01:38:41,060
to spin.

2814
01:38:41,340 --> 01:38:43,300
This is a pseudo religion that they're creating.

2815
01:38:43,300 --> 01:38:46,660
So if we don't resist this mystification of

2816
01:38:46,660 --> 01:38:48,580
AI from now, we're going to end up

2817
01:38:48,580 --> 01:38:49,680
being ruled once again.

2818
01:38:49,780 --> 01:38:51,900
Not by reason, not by law, not by

2819
01:38:51,900 --> 01:38:56,200
truth, but by yet another craven tyranny disguised

2820
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:56,760
as divine.

2821
01:38:57,300 --> 01:38:58,820
Yeah, that's very possible.

2822
01:38:59,660 --> 01:39:00,440
He's right.

2823
01:39:01,220 --> 01:39:03,140
Your no agenda show says he's right.

2824
01:39:04,180 --> 01:39:06,640
Did you check the new X feature?

2825
01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:09,700
There's a new X feature?

2826
01:39:09,700 --> 01:39:12,320
Yes, where you can see where an account

2827
01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:13,080
is from.

2828
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:15,420
I don't know what that means.

2829
01:39:16,020 --> 01:39:18,800
So if you go to X and you

2830
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:20,260
click on someone's profile.

2831
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:23,500
Let me do it so I don't say

2832
01:39:23,500 --> 01:39:23,860
it wrong.

2833
01:39:25,340 --> 01:39:25,840
You click it.

2834
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:27,500
This is a new thing.

2835
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:28,880
I have a report on it.

2836
01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:31,340
So you click on the profile, and then

2837
01:39:31,340 --> 01:39:33,380
it says join September 2025.

2838
01:39:33,380 --> 01:39:35,680
In this case, you click on that, and

2839
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:37,860
it tells you this account, this particular one.

2840
01:39:37,860 --> 01:39:40,900
Well, that's interesting, based in India.

2841
01:39:41,780 --> 01:39:46,920
And this is an account that is talking

2842
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:48,200
about this case.

2843
01:39:48,900 --> 01:39:50,560
Let me tell you about the truth that

2844
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:51,920
people avoid, blah, blah, blah.

2845
01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:54,000
So you can now see where the account

2846
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:55,920
is supposedly from.

2847
01:39:57,760 --> 01:39:59,040
And how would they do this?

2848
01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:03,180
Geolocation, which could be VPN.

2849
01:40:03,180 --> 01:40:06,420
So VPNs wouldn't pull it?

2850
01:40:08,260 --> 01:40:11,860
Interestingly, I looked you up, and you joined

2851
01:40:11,860 --> 01:40:14,860
April 2008, account based in the United States.

2852
01:40:16,100 --> 01:40:18,180
My account based in the United States.

2853
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:21,260
But people started doing this, and here's what

2854
01:40:21,260 --> 01:40:21,700
they found.

2855
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:24,680
Location, location, location.

2856
01:40:25,200 --> 01:40:27,220
That's what matters now on X, because Elon

2857
01:40:27,220 --> 01:40:29,080
Musk has just rolled out a hugely important

2858
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:32,140
new feature, and it's confirming what some of

2859
01:40:32,140 --> 01:40:34,720
us have suspected was the case for some

2860
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:35,220
time now.

2861
01:40:35,620 --> 01:40:37,480
It turns out that many of the openly

2862
01:40:37,480 --> 01:40:40,560
racist and anti-Semitic accounts on X that

2863
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:42,520
claim to be America first, but are actually

2864
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:46,320
giving MAGA a bad name, well, they're not

2865
01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:47,640
true America first at all.

2866
01:40:47,720 --> 01:40:51,780
In fact, they're largely coming from Pakistan and

2867
01:40:51,780 --> 01:40:52,700
other Muslim countries.

2868
01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:54,280
And now we have the proof.

2869
01:40:54,620 --> 01:40:56,900
A week ago, Fox News personality Katie Pavlich,

2870
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,360
a friend of mine, posted this on X.

2871
01:40:59,480 --> 01:41:02,400
Hey, Elon Musk, please make it mandatory that

2872
01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:05,000
wherever an account is based, country, be featured

2873
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:06,360
in an account's public profile.

2874
01:41:06,540 --> 01:41:08,740
Foreign bots are tearing America apart.

2875
01:41:09,340 --> 01:41:09,820
Thank you.

2876
01:41:10,440 --> 01:41:12,960
In response, Nikita Beer, head of product development

2877
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:15,540
at X, said, Give me 72 hours.

2878
01:41:16,020 --> 01:41:18,240
And now, X has delivered.

2879
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:20,460
Now, when you click on an X profile,

2880
01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:22,740
there is an option to see more information

2881
01:41:22,740 --> 01:41:23,580
about that account.

2882
01:41:24,060 --> 01:41:26,000
My account, for instance, says based in the

2883
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:27,640
United States because I was in the United

2884
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:29,700
States when I created it and have posted

2885
01:41:29,700 --> 01:41:31,440
the vast majority of my X content while

2886
01:41:31,440 --> 01:41:32,360
in the United States.

2887
01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:35,000
But the same cannot be said for a

2888
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:37,380
great many accounts that purport to be America

2889
01:41:37,380 --> 01:41:37,780
first.

2890
01:41:38,180 --> 01:41:39,640
You know the ones I'm talking about.

2891
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:42,340
They often have that stupid Pepe the Frog

2892
01:41:42,340 --> 01:41:43,420
character as their avatar.

2893
01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:45,900
They promote Nick Fuentes and complain that the

2894
01:41:45,900 --> 01:41:47,640
Jews have taken over the U.S. They

2895
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:51,160
whine about America at every turn while purporting

2896
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:52,240
to be America first.

2897
01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:55,160
And they openly avow racist ideas, but because

2898
01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:57,480
they have American flags in their bios, the

2899
01:41:57,480 --> 01:42:00,020
mainstream media mistakes them for MAGA.

2900
01:42:00,420 --> 01:42:02,420
Liberals point to these accounts and say, See,

2901
01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:04,660
here's the evidence that Trump's base, the MAGA

2902
01:42:04,660 --> 01:42:07,540
movement, is racist and is anti-Semitic to

2903
01:42:07,540 --> 01:42:07,940
its core.

2904
01:42:08,340 --> 01:42:09,740
Just look at these accounts.

2905
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:12,700
It's a fun game to play.

2906
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:15,180
Where'd that guy come from, that clip?

2907
01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:16,900
That's Robbie Suave.

2908
01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:18,340
Remember Robbie Suave?

2909
01:42:18,780 --> 01:42:19,520
No, I don't remember him.

2910
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:21,880
He was the hot young reporter for a

2911
01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:22,280
little bit.

2912
01:42:22,820 --> 01:42:23,220
No.

2913
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:24,500
He was on Fox a lot.

2914
01:42:24,820 --> 01:42:25,880
Yeah, Robbie Suave.

2915
01:42:26,500 --> 01:42:27,100
Let me see.

2916
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:27,700
Nick the Rat.

2917
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:29,040
Let's see what Nick the Rat is from.

2918
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:30,820
I'm looking on my timeline here.

2919
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:31,880
United States.

2920
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:33,400
Yeah, I guess it would be kind of

2921
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:34,880
fun to check some of this stuff out.

2922
01:42:35,280 --> 01:42:39,100
Yeah, because you get so many, I get

2923
01:42:39,100 --> 01:42:41,660
so many, especially the negative things on my

2924
01:42:41,660 --> 01:42:42,060
timeline.

2925
01:42:42,220 --> 01:42:42,840
You suck.

2926
01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:44,060
You know, that kind of stuff.

2927
01:42:44,540 --> 01:42:44,860
Yeah.

2928
01:42:45,140 --> 01:42:46,080
You no good.

2929
01:42:46,880 --> 01:42:47,720
You're no good.

2930
01:42:47,900 --> 01:42:48,740
That's creative.

2931
01:42:48,740 --> 01:42:50,500
You're no good.

2932
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:51,740
Go get some shekels.

2933
01:42:52,980 --> 01:42:53,160
Yeah.

2934
01:42:54,140 --> 01:42:56,100
Where are our shekels, by the way?

2935
01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:57,800
Tina said that the other day.

2936
01:42:58,340 --> 01:42:59,600
Where is the Jew money?

2937
01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:00,920
Sorry, babe.

2938
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:02,740
We got one last show.

2939
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:03,880
We got one guy.

2940
01:43:04,100 --> 01:43:04,860
We got one guy.

2941
01:43:05,100 --> 01:43:05,280
Yeah.

2942
01:43:05,440 --> 01:43:07,420
The Netherlands people are truly in the Netherlands.

2943
01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:08,120
That's kind of cool.

2944
01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:09,320
Here's the second part of this clip.

2945
01:43:09,420 --> 01:43:10,100
Well, guess what?

2946
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:11,240
Now we know.

2947
01:43:11,500 --> 01:43:13,400
A substantial number of them are based in

2948
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:15,160
the Middle East, Pakistan in particular.

2949
01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:17,640
They're not MAGA or America First.

2950
01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:20,620
They're cosplaying as America First in order to

2951
01:43:20,620 --> 01:43:22,840
discredit MAGA and make money.

2952
01:43:23,780 --> 01:43:26,780
As conservative journalist Joel Pollack points out, this

2953
01:43:26,780 --> 01:43:30,020
is an extensive foreign interference campaign intended to

2954
01:43:30,020 --> 01:43:32,440
drive a wedge within the MAGA movement to

2955
01:43:32,440 --> 01:43:34,760
the benefit of hostile foreign Islamic regimes.

2956
01:43:35,440 --> 01:43:37,780
And conservative pundit Matt Walsh notes on X,

2957
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:41,160
tons of commentary on divisive American culture war

2958
01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:44,100
issues is coming from foreigners whose opinions on

2959
01:43:44,100 --> 01:43:46,780
international U.S. policy can be safely ignored.

2960
01:43:46,780 --> 01:43:48,000
End quote.

2961
01:43:48,780 --> 01:43:50,620
Now, to be clear, it's not just these

2962
01:43:50,620 --> 01:43:53,380
faux right-wing pro-Fuentes Groper accounts getting

2963
01:43:53,380 --> 01:43:53,940
exposed.

2964
01:43:54,140 --> 01:43:54,560
Wait, wait.

2965
01:43:55,140 --> 01:43:55,660
Fuentes?

2966
01:43:56,080 --> 01:43:57,760
What's Fuentes got to do with it?

2967
01:43:57,880 --> 01:43:59,240
Now, this is...

2968
01:43:59,240 --> 01:43:59,920
Of course.

2969
01:44:00,020 --> 01:44:01,160
You got to spin it somehow.

2970
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:01,800
Duh.

2971
01:44:02,180 --> 01:44:04,060
To be clear, it's not just these faux

2972
01:44:04,060 --> 01:44:07,100
right-wing pro-Fuentes Groper accounts getting exposed.

2973
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:10,340
X accounts promoting the grievances of various ethnic

2974
01:44:10,340 --> 01:44:12,060
groups have also been exposed as false.

2975
01:44:12,060 --> 01:44:15,540
There's plenty of pro-Native American advocacy that's

2976
01:44:15,540 --> 01:44:18,820
been exposed as originating from Bangladesh, for instance.

2977
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:21,160
And it's also the case that some X

2978
01:44:21,160 --> 01:44:23,860
accounts purporting to be from dying or starving

2979
01:44:23,860 --> 01:44:27,140
Palestinian children in Gaza actually originates in India

2980
01:44:27,140 --> 01:44:28,720
or Qatar or North Africa.

2981
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:30,520
Now, that does not mean there are no

2982
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:32,340
dying children in Gaza, to be clear.

2983
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:32,700
Duh.

2984
01:44:32,760 --> 01:44:34,320
It does mean that what we've seen and

2985
01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:36,700
consumed on X is in some cases a

2986
01:44:36,700 --> 01:44:37,700
form of manipulation.

2987
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:40,600
The question you might be asking yourself is,

2988
01:44:40,980 --> 01:44:41,200
why?

2989
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:43,600
Well, the answer is self-apparent.

2990
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:45,820
It's because they want America to fail.

2991
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:47,180
They want us to weaken.

2992
01:44:47,500 --> 01:44:49,500
They want us to descend into infighting.

2993
01:44:49,880 --> 01:44:51,640
They want us to start pointing fingers and

2994
01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:52,880
scream in each other's faces.

2995
01:44:53,440 --> 01:44:54,920
They want us to fall behind.

2996
01:44:55,580 --> 01:44:58,020
Now, so here's an example on my timeline.

2997
01:44:58,540 --> 01:45:01,340
You always take the Jew money to back

2998
01:45:01,340 --> 01:45:02,340
Israel, Adam.

2999
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:04,880
You're a boomer who loves Israel.

3000
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:10,640
And this is posted by spetsnaz9999xy.

3001
01:45:11,820 --> 01:45:12,860
That's legit.

3002
01:45:13,180 --> 01:45:15,040
Location, United Kingdom.

3003
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:17,680
How about that?

3004
01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:20,560
That makes nothing but sense to me.

3005
01:45:20,700 --> 01:45:21,620
Yeah, they hate the Jews.

3006
01:45:21,820 --> 01:45:22,760
They're this nexus.

3007
01:45:23,820 --> 01:45:25,500
You're the one that brought the nexus stuff.

3008
01:45:25,580 --> 01:45:28,280
So you're going to get all the hate

3009
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:30,560
from the, because the nexus people.

3010
01:45:30,700 --> 01:45:32,320
Yeah, they're like, he's onto us.

3011
01:45:33,200 --> 01:45:34,680
He's onto us.

3012
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:35,860
He's onto us.

3013
01:45:35,980 --> 01:45:36,600
We're busted.

3014
01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:37,520
Let's blast him.

3015
01:45:37,700 --> 01:45:40,880
We'll slander him on X.

3016
01:45:41,180 --> 01:45:41,860
Because that'll hurt.

3017
01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:43,480
That'll pop.

3018
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:45,060
That'll burst his balloon.

3019
01:45:45,260 --> 01:45:46,520
That'll hurt his feelings.

3020
01:45:47,480 --> 01:45:48,800
It'll hurt his feelings.

3021
01:45:50,580 --> 01:45:52,560
I have an offbeat clip if you want

3022
01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:53,100
to play something.

3023
01:45:53,140 --> 01:45:53,300
Sure.

3024
01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:56,100
I just had to play this because this

3025
01:45:56,100 --> 01:45:57,300
is something that came up with Horowitz.

3026
01:45:57,440 --> 01:45:58,740
And I never knew this.

3027
01:45:58,780 --> 01:45:59,700
I never thought about it.

3028
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:01,680
But it's something I think people should consider.

3029
01:46:01,680 --> 01:46:04,760
This is the Dow clip.

3030
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:05,980
Okay.

3031
01:46:06,340 --> 01:46:08,860
And on Wall Street today, stocks posted solid

3032
01:46:08,860 --> 01:46:12,000
gains heading into the Thanksgiving holiday amid ongoing

3033
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:13,940
hopes for an interest rate cut.

3034
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:16,400
Yeah, bullcrap.

3035
01:46:16,780 --> 01:46:18,940
So Horowitz brought this fact up that I

3036
01:46:18,940 --> 01:46:20,200
think people should just be aware of.

3037
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:21,840
It's almost like a tip of the day.

3038
01:46:22,340 --> 01:46:25,380
He says that during the Thanksgiving week, the

3039
01:46:25,380 --> 01:46:27,500
market will never go down.

3040
01:46:27,700 --> 01:46:29,860
No one wants to have a bad Thanksgiving

3041
01:46:29,860 --> 01:46:30,320
day.

3042
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:31,320
No.

3043
01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:33,720
It's because nobody wants to get a bunch

3044
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:36,340
of family members together with one or two

3045
01:46:36,340 --> 01:46:38,480
guys grousing about their broker.

3046
01:46:39,140 --> 01:46:41,020
Hey, man, you told me this was a

3047
01:46:41,020 --> 01:46:42,020
good deal.

3048
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:43,500
This was going to go to the moon.

3049
01:46:44,280 --> 01:46:45,960
Because there's all this family gathering.

3050
01:46:46,080 --> 01:46:47,880
They start bitching and moaning about their stock

3051
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:48,220
broker.

3052
01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:49,960
And then they fire the broker and get

3053
01:46:49,960 --> 01:46:50,680
somebody different.

3054
01:46:51,060 --> 01:46:52,860
He says, so all the brokers have made

3055
01:46:52,860 --> 01:46:53,820
a gentleman's agreement.

3056
01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:55,900
Everybody around the world have made a gentleman's

3057
01:46:55,900 --> 01:46:56,240
agreement.

3058
01:46:56,480 --> 01:46:58,960
The stock market is not going down this

3059
01:46:58,960 --> 01:46:59,300
week.

3060
01:46:59,480 --> 01:47:00,780
Yeah, that's a good point.

3061
01:47:00,780 --> 01:47:01,720
I think you're right.

3062
01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:02,880
I don't think it ever does.

3063
01:47:03,060 --> 01:47:04,380
That's spot on.

3064
01:47:04,580 --> 01:47:06,900
It's because they don't want anybody bitching about

3065
01:47:06,900 --> 01:47:08,780
their stock broker at the table.

3066
01:47:09,140 --> 01:47:09,760
Wow, that's a good one.

3067
01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:10,620
That's a good one.

3068
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:11,680
Yeah, I never heard that before.

3069
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:12,160
It was funny.

3070
01:47:12,440 --> 01:47:13,160
Makes sense.

3071
01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:17,120
Well, since it is Thanksgiving, we have –

3072
01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:19,580
and by the way, it's only Thanksgiving in

3073
01:47:19,580 --> 01:47:21,000
America, of course, today.

3074
01:47:21,180 --> 01:47:23,740
Yeah, Thanksgiving was the first of November in

3075
01:47:23,740 --> 01:47:26,040
Canada, which I usually send a note out,

3076
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:27,060
but I didn't do it this year.

3077
01:47:27,180 --> 01:47:27,460
No, no.

3078
01:47:27,620 --> 01:47:28,900
Where's our Canadian donors?

3079
01:47:29,100 --> 01:47:29,500
Nowhere.

3080
01:47:29,500 --> 01:47:30,900
You forgot to remind them.

3081
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:31,960
You forgot to remind them.

3082
01:47:32,900 --> 01:47:34,280
Yep, it's my fault.

3083
01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:40,440
However, another fine tradition, the Black Friday is

3084
01:47:40,440 --> 01:47:40,980
global.

3085
01:47:41,860 --> 01:47:44,740
There's Black Friday in Holland, in Britain, in

3086
01:47:44,740 --> 01:47:45,680
Germany, in France.

3087
01:47:45,700 --> 01:47:46,280
Yeah, that's funny.

3088
01:47:46,800 --> 01:47:47,200
It's true.

3089
01:47:47,460 --> 01:47:53,500
It's basically Amazon, just like Hallmark accentuates holidays,

3090
01:47:53,700 --> 01:47:55,820
Amazon, the Black Friday.

3091
01:47:55,820 --> 01:47:59,740
But now we have the Cousin Walk and

3092
01:47:59,740 --> 01:48:00,620
Green Wednesday.

3093
01:48:00,940 --> 01:48:01,940
This is new to me.

3094
01:48:02,020 --> 01:48:03,100
Are you familiar with these terms?

3095
01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:04,440
No, neither one.

3096
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:07,500
Green Wednesday, it's the second biggest day for

3097
01:48:07,500 --> 01:48:09,100
cannabis sales after 420.

3098
01:48:09,300 --> 01:48:11,240
Thanks in part to what social media users

3099
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:12,560
call the Cousin Walk.

3100
01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:14,320
It's sort of like, you know, a few

3101
01:48:14,320 --> 01:48:15,900
relatives duck out of a dinner.

3102
01:48:16,060 --> 01:48:18,180
Thanks in part to what social media users

3103
01:48:18,180 --> 01:48:19,460
call the Cousin Walk.

3104
01:48:19,540 --> 01:48:21,220
It's sort of like, you know, a few

3105
01:48:21,220 --> 01:48:23,360
relatives duck out of a dinner to walk

3106
01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:25,460
the dog or get some fresh air.

3107
01:48:25,460 --> 01:48:27,040
We all know what they're really doing.

3108
01:48:27,440 --> 01:48:30,100
Yeah, brands like Jif, Hidden Valley, and Taco

3109
01:48:30,100 --> 01:48:31,820
Bell all jumped on the Cousin Walk trend

3110
01:48:31,820 --> 01:48:32,420
last year.

3111
01:48:32,860 --> 01:48:35,000
And the Cannabis Media Council, which is working

3112
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:37,660
to remove the stigma from marijuana use, launched

3113
01:48:37,660 --> 01:48:42,180
a public service announcement encouraging a post-dinner

3114
01:48:42,180 --> 01:48:42,460
stroll.

3115
01:48:43,220 --> 01:48:45,420
A little doobie, a little biscuit, a little

3116
01:48:45,420 --> 01:48:47,260
whatever it is that you like.

3117
01:48:47,700 --> 01:48:50,220
Marijuana has been keeping families together and happy

3118
01:48:50,220 --> 01:48:52,240
on Thanksgiving for years to come.

3119
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:54,100
No, please.

3120
01:48:57,620 --> 01:48:58,520
That's funny.

3121
01:48:59,000 --> 01:48:59,880
I love that.

3122
01:49:00,940 --> 01:49:03,140
Marijuana's been keeping—no, it's the no agenda show,

3123
01:49:03,280 --> 01:49:03,740
you dolt.

3124
01:49:04,740 --> 01:49:06,420
We keep families together.

3125
01:49:07,400 --> 01:49:09,320
We keep families together.

3126
01:49:09,860 --> 01:49:10,380
If they choose the show.

3127
01:49:10,780 --> 01:49:12,880
If they choose the show, yes.

3128
01:49:13,020 --> 01:49:14,060
If they choose the show.

3129
01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:16,880
I have an—this is interesting.

3130
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:19,940
This isn't—there's some international news here.

3131
01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:22,480
Although, wait, I do have the Macy's Parade

3132
01:49:22,480 --> 01:49:23,220
since it's Thanksgiving.

3133
01:49:23,380 --> 01:49:24,640
I have two Thanksgiving clips.

3134
01:49:24,660 --> 01:49:25,680
Okay, Macy's first.

3135
01:49:25,680 --> 01:49:27,240
I got the Macy's Parade tidbit.

3136
01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:30,060
And on this Thanksgiving Eve in New York

3137
01:49:30,060 --> 01:49:32,960
City, thousands have been watching the annual inflating

3138
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:35,940
of the balloons ahead of the 99th Macy's

3139
01:49:35,940 --> 01:49:37,100
Thanksgiving Day Parade.

3140
01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:39,680
This preview of the main event has become

3141
01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:41,300
a beloved tradition all its own.

3142
01:49:41,780 --> 01:49:44,060
Officials say it takes about 90 minutes to

3143
01:49:44,060 --> 01:49:46,380
inflate each one, and some will stand as

3144
01:49:46,380 --> 01:49:48,280
tall as five stories high.

3145
01:49:49,020 --> 01:49:53,140
Yeah, when I lived in New York, there

3146
01:49:53,140 --> 01:49:54,620
would always be gatherings.

3147
01:49:54,820 --> 01:49:57,820
Someone who had an apartment that overlooked the

3148
01:49:57,820 --> 01:50:00,120
blowing up of the balloons and people—basically just

3149
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:01,700
an excuse to drink.

3150
01:50:02,140 --> 01:50:03,260
Like, oh, look at those balloons.

3151
01:50:05,860 --> 01:50:07,160
Yeah, that's what it is.

3152
01:50:07,220 --> 01:50:08,200
It's another excuse.

3153
01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:11,020
Where was Green Wednesday back in the day

3154
01:50:11,020 --> 01:50:12,180
when I was smoking weed?

3155
01:50:12,760 --> 01:50:14,000
Not to be found.

3156
01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:15,760
Hey, cuz, want to go on a walk?

3157
01:50:16,640 --> 01:50:18,280
So I probably should have played this earlier.

3158
01:50:18,280 --> 01:50:21,280
When you start talking bitching at me for

3159
01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:25,160
not discussing the Thanksgiving history and then rewriting

3160
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:28,500
it yourself and making it sound like I

3161
01:50:28,500 --> 01:50:29,140
had it wrong.

3162
01:50:30,540 --> 01:50:31,100
Didn't.

3163
01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:33,120
I just read the comments.

3164
01:50:34,600 --> 01:50:35,500
And that.

3165
01:50:35,980 --> 01:50:37,200
You got to get those in.

3166
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:40,560
I'd have done the same thing.

3167
01:50:41,020 --> 01:50:42,580
So this is a talk.

3168
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:45,180
We can't forget these clips.

3169
01:50:45,380 --> 01:50:47,500
This is the TikTok Thanksgiving clip.

3170
01:50:47,500 --> 01:50:48,780
Another woman.

3171
01:50:50,020 --> 01:50:52,980
They always have this—I don't know if you've

3172
01:50:52,980 --> 01:50:56,140
seen Rosie O'Donnell recently, but she's not as

3173
01:50:56,140 --> 01:50:57,400
old as she looks.

3174
01:50:57,920 --> 01:50:58,200
I know.

3175
01:50:58,200 --> 01:51:01,180
She is, like, looking like she's 80.

3176
01:51:01,820 --> 01:51:02,160
Yeah.

3177
01:51:02,420 --> 01:51:05,440
Well, she doesn't do Botox and doesn't moisturize,

3178
01:51:05,520 --> 01:51:05,740
really.

3179
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:07,640
I think moisturizing is her problem.

3180
01:51:08,500 --> 01:51:11,600
I think the dour face doesn't help.

3181
01:51:11,780 --> 01:51:12,300
No.

3182
01:51:12,620 --> 01:51:13,140
Downturn.

3183
01:51:13,220 --> 01:51:14,040
She never smiles.

3184
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:15,360
No, that's not a positive.

3185
01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:21,120
And it creates—exercises different muscles, and you end

3186
01:51:21,120 --> 01:51:22,580
up with this horrible-looking face.

3187
01:51:22,660 --> 01:51:23,800
It's just, like, a permanent thing.

3188
01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:24,960
Let that be a warning.

3189
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:26,220
Your parents used to say, don't do that.

3190
01:51:26,660 --> 01:51:28,080
Don't make that face.

3191
01:51:28,180 --> 01:51:28,780
It's going to stick.

3192
01:51:29,020 --> 01:51:29,420
It's going to stick.

3193
01:51:29,540 --> 01:51:29,920
That's right.

3194
01:51:29,940 --> 01:51:30,460
That frown.

3195
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:32,520
And the parents were right.

3196
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:35,940
So here's a classic.

3197
01:51:36,220 --> 01:51:37,180
More boomer wisdom.

3198
01:51:38,020 --> 01:51:38,500
Yes.

3199
01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:41,880
And here's a classic with a woman.

3200
01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:44,940
And she says something in this clip that

3201
01:51:44,940 --> 01:51:48,700
I just—to me, boggling.

3202
01:51:48,960 --> 01:51:52,100
So we're still celebrating Thanksgiving, even though it

3203
01:51:52,100 --> 01:51:54,060
has so much dark history.

3204
01:51:55,200 --> 01:51:57,400
I mean, I live with family, so I

3205
01:51:57,400 --> 01:51:59,460
have no choice, but I'm not happy about

3206
01:51:59,460 --> 01:51:59,720
it.

3207
01:52:00,740 --> 01:52:01,800
I'm really not.

3208
01:52:03,140 --> 01:52:05,160
It should be banned for good.

3209
01:52:05,900 --> 01:52:07,440
What is the matter with her?

3210
01:52:08,300 --> 01:52:08,740
Okay.

3211
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:11,360
She's a 40-year-old woman living with

3212
01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:14,520
family, the way she says it, which means

3213
01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:15,540
she's, like, a loser.

3214
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:18,660
And so she also says that Thanksgiving has

3215
01:52:18,660 --> 01:52:19,820
a dark history.

3216
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:21,240
What's she talking about?

3217
01:52:21,260 --> 01:52:23,320
Well, I was waiting for the follow-up.

3218
01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:25,700
Which was what?

3219
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:26,220
I don't know.

3220
01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:27,600
I want us to know what the dark

3221
01:52:27,600 --> 01:52:28,420
history was.

3222
01:52:28,620 --> 01:52:30,360
Well, I can't give it to you because

3223
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:32,300
I don't know of a dark history.

3224
01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:35,260
And then she says it should be banned.

3225
01:52:35,260 --> 01:52:38,820
And she's just a sad person who's living

3226
01:52:38,820 --> 01:52:40,640
with family, I like the way she puts

3227
01:52:40,640 --> 01:52:42,220
it, and so she has to go to

3228
01:52:42,220 --> 01:52:42,740
the dinner.

3229
01:52:42,980 --> 01:52:43,480
Gotta go.

3230
01:52:43,500 --> 01:52:44,340
She doesn't want to.

3231
01:52:44,420 --> 01:52:45,840
She's just a horrible person.

3232
01:52:46,260 --> 01:52:49,140
These people that are complaining about Thanksgiving dinner,

3233
01:52:49,660 --> 01:52:51,320
it's just inexcusable.

3234
01:52:51,460 --> 01:52:53,480
We have a Thanksgiving dinner tonight right after

3235
01:52:53,480 --> 01:52:53,860
the show.

3236
01:52:53,940 --> 01:52:54,980
I'm very excited about it.

3237
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:55,820
Yeah?

3238
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:57,420
What's on the menu?

3239
01:52:57,840 --> 01:53:01,120
Well, Lou, L-E-U, Lou is cooking.

3240
01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:02,060
We never see Lou.

3241
01:53:02,160 --> 01:53:03,180
Lou is married to Dawn.

3242
01:53:03,180 --> 01:53:05,720
They have a catering company together, but Lou

3243
01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:08,900
works for a private club with a restaurant

3244
01:53:08,900 --> 01:53:12,640
in, I want to say, Bernie.

3245
01:53:13,300 --> 01:53:14,320
No, Kerrville or Bernie.

3246
01:53:14,380 --> 01:53:14,900
One of the two.

3247
01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:17,540
So we never see Lou, but on Thanksgiving

3248
01:53:17,540 --> 01:53:19,200
he's off.

3249
01:53:19,260 --> 01:53:22,680
So they're doing caviar, champagne.

3250
01:53:23,700 --> 01:53:25,260
He's doing some kind of special.

3251
01:53:25,500 --> 01:53:27,740
This guy is a really good cook, so

3252
01:53:27,740 --> 01:53:28,660
I'm excited about that.

3253
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:30,560
This will be at the International Arms Dealer's

3254
01:53:30,560 --> 01:53:30,780
home.

3255
01:53:31,620 --> 01:53:33,800
So there will be talk, and he's the

3256
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:34,300
wine guy.

3257
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:36,820
So there's always going to be good wine

3258
01:53:36,820 --> 01:53:40,100
at the International Arms Dealer's house, and it'll

3259
01:53:40,100 --> 01:53:42,200
be a bunch of interesting people.

3260
01:53:42,280 --> 01:53:44,800
So hopefully I'll get some information.

3261
01:53:45,940 --> 01:53:47,220
Stories from Fredericksburg.

3262
01:53:47,300 --> 01:53:48,080
Yes, I'm going to try.

3263
01:53:50,140 --> 01:53:53,320
By the way, we have missed the boat.

3264
01:53:53,320 --> 01:53:59,440
We have made a major mistake in our

3265
01:53:59,440 --> 01:54:01,040
model.

3266
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:04,360
We have a value for value model where

3267
01:54:04,360 --> 01:54:06,760
we just put the show out.

3268
01:54:06,880 --> 01:54:08,940
We tell people copy it everywhere, put it

3269
01:54:08,940 --> 01:54:09,700
wherever you want.

3270
01:54:10,120 --> 01:54:11,960
We've had people put it on thumb drives

3271
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:13,100
and stick it in bricks.

3272
01:54:14,100 --> 01:54:17,300
There's still CDs all around the country.

3273
01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:21,320
We've had local low-powered FM radio stations

3274
01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:22,600
rebroadcast it.

3275
01:54:23,260 --> 01:54:24,920
Our feeds have been pirated.

3276
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:27,300
People put it onto YouTube.

3277
01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:28,000
We don't care.

3278
01:54:29,060 --> 01:54:31,060
All we want is that if you get

3279
01:54:31,060 --> 01:54:34,780
some value out of the deconstruction and analysis

3280
01:54:34,780 --> 01:54:36,200
that we do, that you send us some

3281
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:36,840
value back.

3282
01:54:39,210 --> 01:54:41,850
Tucker Carlson has done something I think is

3283
01:54:41,850 --> 01:54:42,470
very smart.

3284
01:54:43,670 --> 01:54:48,590
What is the number one sponsor category on

3285
01:54:48,590 --> 01:54:49,250
podcasts?

3286
01:54:49,950 --> 01:54:50,430
Gold.

3287
01:54:50,430 --> 01:54:54,170
Tucker Carlson is launching his own precious metals

3288
01:54:54,170 --> 01:54:54,650
company.

3289
01:54:56,850 --> 01:54:59,390
I mean, are we dumb or what?

3290
01:55:00,110 --> 01:55:00,450
Oh, yeah.

3291
01:55:00,570 --> 01:55:01,450
That's what we should have done.

3292
01:55:01,530 --> 01:55:03,870
It was staring us in the face.

3293
01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:07,460
Do you want to say something?

3294
01:55:08,180 --> 01:55:10,160
So you don't think there's a lot more

3295
01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:15,640
work involved in this than just long-term

3296
01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:16,420
grief?

3297
01:55:16,420 --> 01:55:22,040
If things turn down, you don't think there's

3298
01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:23,840
any downside to this idea?

3299
01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:26,840
Well, he has partnered with a gold wholesaler.

3300
01:55:26,840 --> 01:55:27,460
Oh, there we go.

3301
01:55:27,540 --> 01:55:27,900
He's partnered.

3302
01:55:28,020 --> 01:55:28,620
Wait, let me guess.

3303
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:30,120
With the redacted people.

3304
01:55:30,620 --> 01:55:32,980
No, that's on the news.

3305
01:55:33,100 --> 01:55:36,000
It's going to be Tucker Real Estate.

3306
01:55:36,540 --> 01:55:37,580
That's coming.

3307
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:38,400
Tucker Real Estate.

3308
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:39,320
That's coming next.

3309
01:55:40,420 --> 01:55:41,380
Battalion Metals.

3310
01:55:42,560 --> 01:55:46,220
Battalion Metals and their slogan, bringing integrity back

3311
01:55:46,220 --> 01:55:48,160
to the precious metals industry.

3312
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:50,500
It's implying what?

3313
01:55:50,640 --> 01:55:52,780
That there's no integrity in the precious metals

3314
01:55:52,780 --> 01:55:53,120
industry?

3315
01:55:53,460 --> 01:55:53,620
What?

3316
01:55:54,640 --> 01:55:56,000
And with that, I want to thank you

3317
01:55:56,000 --> 01:55:56,660
for your courage.

3318
01:55:56,740 --> 01:55:57,840
Say in the morning to you, the man

3319
01:55:57,840 --> 01:55:59,940
who put the C in the cousin walk.

3320
01:56:00,040 --> 01:56:01,260
Say hello to my friend on the other

3321
01:56:01,260 --> 01:56:04,140
end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.

3322
01:56:04,580 --> 01:56:04,940
DeMora.

3323
01:56:06,980 --> 01:56:08,520
In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.

3324
01:56:08,600 --> 01:56:09,920
In the morning, all ships, the seaboats, and

3325
01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:12,260
the graphene, the airships, and the water, and

3326
01:56:12,260 --> 01:56:13,920
all the games and nights out there.

3327
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:16,220
In the morning to the trolls in the

3328
01:56:16,220 --> 01:56:16,800
troll room.

3329
01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:17,520
Let me count you.

3330
01:56:17,620 --> 01:56:18,080
Oh, boy.

3331
01:56:18,260 --> 01:56:18,360
Yeah.

3332
01:56:21,340 --> 01:56:22,580
Well, I'm surprised.

3333
01:56:22,980 --> 01:56:26,280
We still have 1,085 trolls listening to

3334
01:56:26,280 --> 01:56:26,940
the show live.

3335
01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:29,260
That is a lot of lonely people.

3336
01:56:31,020 --> 01:56:32,860
Well, they might be in between cooking.

3337
01:56:33,060 --> 01:56:33,860
They might be cooking.

3338
01:56:33,860 --> 01:56:37,000
They could be listening live while cooking.

3339
01:56:37,200 --> 01:56:38,460
While basting their meat.

3340
01:56:38,820 --> 01:56:41,900
Or while washing the dishes.

3341
01:56:42,080 --> 01:56:42,860
Yeah, it's possible.

3342
01:56:43,300 --> 01:56:44,240
Well, they're here.

3343
01:56:45,180 --> 01:56:46,980
And we're happy to have them.

3344
01:56:47,180 --> 01:56:48,940
And we love that because we do this

3345
01:56:48,940 --> 01:56:52,820
show live Thursdays and Sundays at 11 a

3346
01:56:52,820 --> 01:56:55,400
.m. Pacific, 2 p.m. Eastern.

3347
01:56:55,780 --> 01:56:57,520
Figure out your time zone where appropriate.

3348
01:56:58,140 --> 01:57:00,640
And if you're kind of a forgetful person,

3349
01:57:00,680 --> 01:57:01,860
then all you have to do is get

3350
01:57:01,860 --> 01:57:04,940
a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com.

3351
01:57:05,300 --> 01:57:06,520
Any of those modern ones.

3352
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:07,940
There's a nice little chart there.

3353
01:57:08,040 --> 01:57:09,680
You can see which ones have the different

3354
01:57:09,680 --> 01:57:10,060
features.

3355
01:57:10,180 --> 01:57:13,120
The feature you want is the live feature

3356
01:57:13,120 --> 01:57:16,100
where your phone will go, oh, the bat

3357
01:57:16,100 --> 01:57:16,460
signal.

3358
01:57:16,720 --> 01:57:18,220
The boys are going live.

3359
01:57:18,620 --> 01:57:19,120
You hit it.

3360
01:57:19,180 --> 01:57:20,280
You're listening live right away.

3361
01:57:20,820 --> 01:57:22,800
And, of course, as one of the many

3362
01:57:22,800 --> 01:57:25,260
features of the modern podcast apps, when we

3363
01:57:25,260 --> 01:57:27,660
publish the show, you're not hanging around like

3364
01:57:27,660 --> 01:57:30,420
a dupe for hours waiting for it to

3365
01:57:30,420 --> 01:57:33,020
update on your Apple podcast app.

3366
01:57:33,020 --> 01:57:34,940
And we're not even on Spotify, so forget

3367
01:57:34,940 --> 01:57:37,360
that, because we refuse to sign their contract.

3368
01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:39,620
Should we sign their contract and see what

3369
01:57:39,620 --> 01:57:39,960
happens?

3370
01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:41,960
See if we get an amazing uptime?

3371
01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:42,700
What's the contract say?

3372
01:57:42,860 --> 01:57:44,380
That they can put ads on our podcast

3373
01:57:44,380 --> 01:57:45,260
whenever they want to.

3374
01:57:49,710 --> 01:57:50,190
I don't know.

3375
01:57:50,930 --> 01:57:53,230
Well, we've been sort of adamant about this.

3376
01:57:53,650 --> 01:57:53,850
Yeah.

3377
01:57:54,210 --> 01:57:55,070
So, no?

3378
01:57:55,950 --> 01:57:57,330
Well, you know, no.

3379
01:57:57,830 --> 01:57:58,950
Well, we signed it.

3380
01:57:58,970 --> 01:57:59,530
Who cares?

3381
01:58:00,030 --> 01:58:00,990
No one's going to go there.

3382
01:58:02,930 --> 01:58:03,330
Okay.

3383
01:58:03,830 --> 01:58:04,670
I'll set it up.

3384
01:58:06,310 --> 01:58:09,250
Oh, we'll probably get banned, because, you know.

3385
01:58:09,750 --> 01:58:10,230
Okay.

3386
01:58:11,050 --> 01:58:11,530
Boom.

3387
01:58:12,490 --> 01:58:14,970
You just came up with a great idea.

3388
01:58:15,130 --> 01:58:15,330
Yeah.

3389
01:58:15,630 --> 01:58:17,550
We can go there to get banned so

3390
01:58:17,550 --> 01:58:18,550
we can bitch about it.

3391
01:58:18,630 --> 01:58:19,330
Yeah, perfect.

3392
01:58:19,530 --> 01:58:21,830
That's five minutes of show content right there.

3393
01:58:22,290 --> 01:58:24,170
Well, you know, we need all the material

3394
01:58:24,170 --> 01:58:26,130
we can get, because God knows we can't

3395
01:58:26,130 --> 01:58:27,790
fill three hours twice a week.

3396
01:58:28,670 --> 01:58:30,510
So, what they do is if you play

3397
01:58:30,510 --> 01:58:32,870
any type of music, even if it's your

3398
01:58:32,870 --> 01:58:35,610
own AI-generated music, boom, banned.

3399
01:58:35,750 --> 01:58:36,890
So, let's see how long it takes.

3400
01:58:37,830 --> 01:58:38,310
Wait.

3401
01:58:38,770 --> 01:58:40,370
You can't even play your own music?

3402
01:58:40,610 --> 01:58:40,830
No.

3403
01:58:41,350 --> 01:58:43,270
No, they don't want to take the risk.

3404
01:58:44,390 --> 01:58:46,010
They don't want to take the risk.

3405
01:58:46,050 --> 01:58:47,210
Oh, this is a winner.

3406
01:58:47,750 --> 01:58:50,130
By the way, I got a press release

3407
01:58:50,130 --> 01:58:51,630
bonus content here.

3408
01:58:52,250 --> 01:58:55,330
The Warner Music Group and Suno.

3409
01:58:55,690 --> 01:58:56,650
Are you familiar with Suno?

3410
01:58:56,650 --> 01:58:57,810
That's the app.

3411
01:58:57,810 --> 01:58:59,870
Yeah, that's the music creation software you talk

3412
01:58:59,870 --> 01:59:00,710
about at every show.

3413
01:59:00,850 --> 01:59:00,950
Yeah.

3414
01:59:01,650 --> 01:59:03,130
This is from the press release.

3415
01:59:03,290 --> 01:59:05,910
Suno is the leader in AI music today.

3416
01:59:06,650 --> 01:59:09,870
Announced a first-of-its-kind partnership that

3417
01:59:09,870 --> 01:59:13,670
will open new frontiers in music creation, interaction,

3418
01:59:13,990 --> 01:59:18,210
and discovery, while both compensating and protecting artists,

3419
01:59:18,530 --> 01:59:20,810
songwriters, and the wider creative community.

3420
01:59:20,810 --> 01:59:24,390
The deal brings together Suno's best-in-class

3421
01:59:24,390 --> 01:59:28,710
AI capabilities with Warner Music Group's artist development

3422
01:59:28,710 --> 01:59:32,950
leadership, a bunch of accountants, and expertise at

3423
01:59:32,950 --> 01:59:35,770
the intersection of music and technology.

3424
01:59:36,050 --> 01:59:39,490
The deal also settles previous litigation between the

3425
01:59:39,490 --> 01:59:40,150
two companies.

3426
01:59:41,930 --> 01:59:47,070
So, the way I see it, if you

3427
01:59:47,070 --> 01:59:49,450
have a free account, you will not be

3428
01:59:49,450 --> 01:59:52,590
able to download songs that you create.

3429
01:59:52,970 --> 01:59:54,930
If you have a paid account, you will

3430
01:59:54,930 --> 01:59:57,610
be able to download a number of songs,

3431
01:59:57,650 --> 01:59:58,950
which is not yet determined.

3432
01:59:59,490 --> 02:00:01,250
And you'll be able to pay for more

3433
02:00:01,250 --> 02:00:01,910
downloads.

3434
02:00:03,070 --> 02:00:03,470
Wait a minute.

3435
02:00:06,950 --> 02:00:07,430
What?

3436
02:00:07,990 --> 02:00:08,210
Yeah.

3437
02:00:08,210 --> 02:00:10,930
So, what they're doing, these are the publishers,

3438
02:00:11,210 --> 02:00:13,570
basically, Warner Music Group, really the publishers.

3439
02:00:14,230 --> 02:00:16,450
They have gone to Suno and said, we're

3440
02:00:16,450 --> 02:00:17,550
going to Suno you.

3441
02:00:17,890 --> 02:00:19,110
We're going to sue your Suno.

3442
02:00:20,170 --> 02:00:22,530
But, if you give us a cut of

3443
02:00:22,530 --> 02:00:25,370
all your paying members, we won't sue you,

3444
02:00:25,650 --> 02:00:27,530
and we'll give you all of our catalog.

3445
02:00:28,410 --> 02:00:29,390
So, oh.

3446
02:00:30,790 --> 02:00:33,270
Well, that's an interesting form of extortion.

3447
02:00:34,350 --> 02:00:39,550
Because it actually makes some sense, if all

3448
02:00:39,550 --> 02:00:41,550
these music guys give you all the catalogs,

3449
02:00:41,650 --> 02:00:44,470
and that is the, first of all, it's

3450
02:00:44,470 --> 02:00:45,770
the end of the music business.

3451
02:00:45,850 --> 02:00:47,690
So, to protect themselves, they're asking for a

3452
02:00:47,690 --> 02:00:48,490
piece of the action.

3453
02:00:48,610 --> 02:00:48,770
Yep.

3454
02:00:48,950 --> 02:00:51,510
Knowing that this is going to happen anyway.

3455
02:00:51,790 --> 02:00:51,890
Yep.

3456
02:00:53,150 --> 02:00:54,990
Surreptitiously, because who's going to be able to

3457
02:00:54,990 --> 02:00:55,670
figure it out?

3458
02:00:55,790 --> 02:00:56,890
Because it's going to be in the corpus,

3459
02:00:57,010 --> 02:00:58,650
and God knows how you can dig it

3460
02:00:58,650 --> 02:00:58,990
out of there.

3461
02:00:58,990 --> 02:01:01,510
Well, this is actually the point I was

3462
02:01:01,510 --> 02:01:02,010
going to make.

3463
02:01:02,650 --> 02:01:06,150
This, to me, says they absolutely know what

3464
02:01:06,150 --> 02:01:07,630
to identify in the corpus.

3465
02:01:07,830 --> 02:01:10,610
That it is all copied material, duh.

3466
02:01:11,050 --> 02:01:14,670
But it is literally taken from recordings, and

3467
02:01:14,670 --> 02:01:16,430
they have done this deal with Warner, and

3468
02:01:16,430 --> 02:01:18,830
they say, okay, whenever someone creates a song,

3469
02:01:19,090 --> 02:01:21,090
we can tell exactly where the sax came

3470
02:01:21,090 --> 02:01:23,630
from, where the piano came from, where this

3471
02:01:23,630 --> 02:01:25,530
effects, all these different things.

3472
02:01:25,530 --> 02:01:27,330
If lyrics are used, if there's a certain

3473
02:01:27,330 --> 02:01:30,690
lyric, two lines or more, they know exactly

3474
02:01:30,690 --> 02:01:31,730
what's in the corpus.

3475
02:01:32,090 --> 02:01:35,270
Otherwise, Warner wouldn't go for it, because they

3476
02:01:35,270 --> 02:01:38,570
need their own internal reckoning, because it's going

3477
02:01:38,570 --> 02:01:40,170
to be Universal Music Group next.

3478
02:01:40,490 --> 02:01:41,590
They're all going to come in and do

3479
02:01:41,590 --> 02:01:42,750
this, so they have to be able to

3480
02:01:42,750 --> 02:01:46,270
distinguish who owns what publishing, which, by the

3481
02:01:46,270 --> 02:01:46,730
way, does not...

3482
02:01:46,730 --> 02:01:48,670
Well, this is going to create a bogus

3483
02:01:48,670 --> 02:01:49,830
analysis.

3484
02:01:50,110 --> 02:01:51,310
It's going to be like...

3485
02:01:51,310 --> 02:01:52,250
Ah, we'll see.

3486
02:01:52,250 --> 02:01:53,570
I don't think they can...

3487
02:01:53,570 --> 02:01:55,030
You know, at some point, it's like such

3488
02:01:55,030 --> 02:01:57,610
an overhead of, oh, you know, we got

3489
02:01:57,610 --> 02:02:01,110
kind of the bass line from a Warner's,

3490
02:02:01,130 --> 02:02:02,990
and we got some Sony stuff over here.

3491
02:02:03,030 --> 02:02:04,950
What about the mishmash of it?

3492
02:02:05,890 --> 02:02:07,310
You're going to have to give everybody a

3493
02:02:07,310 --> 02:02:08,870
piece of this and that, and here's a

3494
02:02:08,870 --> 02:02:09,530
penny here and a penny there.

3495
02:02:09,550 --> 02:02:11,810
Well, no, but the bottom line is, and

3496
02:02:11,810 --> 02:02:15,010
maybe it will be simpler than that, but

3497
02:02:15,010 --> 02:02:17,330
artists, composers, and writers are getting nothing.

3498
02:02:17,450 --> 02:02:18,230
This is publishing.

3499
02:02:18,690 --> 02:02:19,850
This is not performance.

3500
02:02:19,970 --> 02:02:20,850
This is publishing.

3501
02:02:20,850 --> 02:02:21,590
Right.

3502
02:02:22,070 --> 02:02:24,230
So that's all to the people who own

3503
02:02:24,230 --> 02:02:25,210
your publishing rights.

3504
02:02:25,390 --> 02:02:27,110
ASCAP had better get involved in this and

3505
02:02:27,110 --> 02:02:28,110
get their writers.

3506
02:02:28,590 --> 02:02:30,290
Oh, no, but ASCAP is performance.

3507
02:02:31,590 --> 02:02:33,530
I thought ASCAP was for the writers.

3508
02:02:34,590 --> 02:02:38,890
It's a performing rights organization, ASCAP, BMI, CSAC.

3509
02:02:39,290 --> 02:02:42,710
They're for the writers and composers when a

3510
02:02:42,710 --> 02:02:44,210
song is performed.

3511
02:02:45,590 --> 02:02:46,910
Yeah, they get a cut.

3512
02:02:47,470 --> 02:02:48,530
Yeah, okay.

3513
02:02:48,610 --> 02:02:49,390
There's a little cut.

3514
02:02:49,390 --> 02:02:53,970
Then you have the – we have SoundExchange,

3515
02:02:54,110 --> 02:02:54,910
which came in now.

3516
02:02:56,490 --> 02:02:59,270
SoundExchange, if your song that you sang on,

3517
02:02:59,410 --> 02:03:01,310
and it's really about you singing on it

3518
02:03:01,310 --> 02:03:04,950
mainly, then you get like some tenth of

3519
02:03:04,950 --> 02:03:06,690
a penny for every thousand streams.

3520
02:03:06,850 --> 02:03:08,390
That's what Spotify gives people.

3521
02:03:09,190 --> 02:03:11,190
But really, all the money, it's always been

3522
02:03:11,190 --> 02:03:11,690
in publishing.

3523
02:03:11,830 --> 02:03:14,330
Why did Michael Jackson buy the Beatles' catalog?

3524
02:03:14,510 --> 02:03:17,110
For the publishing, and they killed him over

3525
02:03:17,110 --> 02:03:18,610
it because it's very, very valuable.

3526
02:03:19,510 --> 02:03:20,750
It's always about the publishing.

3527
02:03:21,230 --> 02:03:23,510
The writers, composers, once you sign that record

3528
02:03:23,510 --> 02:03:24,570
deal, bye.

3529
02:03:25,310 --> 02:03:27,590
Nobody makes money anymore on that stuff, only

3530
02:03:27,590 --> 02:03:29,390
with performing live and merch.

3531
02:03:30,130 --> 02:03:30,610
Merch.

3532
02:03:30,850 --> 02:03:31,330
Merch.

3533
02:03:31,370 --> 02:03:31,830
Merch.

3534
02:03:33,050 --> 02:03:34,590
Merch is – yeah, man.

3535
02:03:34,770 --> 02:03:36,830
You buy a T-shirt at a concert,

3536
02:03:37,070 --> 02:03:37,830
it's like $40.

3537
02:03:39,250 --> 02:03:40,130
It's a jip.

3538
02:03:40,510 --> 02:03:41,710
Well, and they sit there and say, well,

3539
02:03:41,790 --> 02:03:43,690
this is – merch is the only way

3540
02:03:43,690 --> 02:03:44,330
we can make music.

3541
02:03:44,610 --> 02:03:45,450
Actually, the concert's a jip too.

3542
02:03:45,770 --> 02:03:46,470
Let's face it.

3543
02:03:46,470 --> 02:03:48,350
These things are a ripoff.

3544
02:03:48,370 --> 02:03:49,850
When I was a kid – When was

3545
02:03:49,850 --> 02:03:51,730
the last concert you went to?

3546
02:03:53,210 --> 02:03:54,070
Led Zeppelin.

3547
02:03:54,370 --> 02:03:55,010
Led Zeppelin.

3548
02:03:55,870 --> 02:03:57,790
No, no, that was – I went to

3549
02:03:57,790 --> 02:03:59,670
many concerts after Led Zeppelin.

3550
02:04:00,570 --> 02:04:03,950
I could probably figure it out, but I'm

3551
02:04:03,950 --> 02:04:05,370
sure it was in a smaller venue.

3552
02:04:05,750 --> 02:04:07,330
I wouldn't go to anything bigger than –

3553
02:04:07,330 --> 02:04:08,790
I mean, the Fillmore Auditorium is not a

3554
02:04:08,790 --> 02:04:10,410
small venue, but it's not a – I've

3555
02:04:10,410 --> 02:04:13,790
never been to a Coliseum event because I

3556
02:04:13,790 --> 02:04:14,530
think it's stupid.

3557
02:04:14,670 --> 02:04:15,790
You're not going to get good sound.

3558
02:04:15,790 --> 02:04:16,590
What's the point?

3559
02:04:17,330 --> 02:04:18,750
Unless you just want to try to meet

3560
02:04:18,750 --> 02:04:19,310
somebody.

3561
02:04:20,470 --> 02:04:22,870
I, for example, got to see the band

3562
02:04:22,870 --> 02:04:26,950
Chicago at the Matrix, which is a nightclub.

3563
02:04:27,590 --> 02:04:29,230
If you can imagine a band like that

3564
02:04:29,230 --> 02:04:30,290
in a nightclub.

3565
02:04:30,530 --> 02:04:31,410
Must have been dynamite.

3566
02:04:31,490 --> 02:04:34,170
I saw Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire

3567
02:04:34,170 --> 02:04:38,130
with Tina in Austin, I want to say,

3568
02:04:39,310 --> 02:04:42,090
maybe nine years ago, and they even performed

3569
02:04:42,090 --> 02:04:42,810
songs together.

3570
02:04:42,950 --> 02:04:43,790
That was dynamite.

3571
02:04:43,930 --> 02:04:45,070
That was really good.

3572
02:04:45,070 --> 02:04:47,130
Well, you have to imagine them in a

3573
02:04:47,130 --> 02:04:47,790
nightclub.

3574
02:04:48,770 --> 02:04:50,170
We saw Tony Bennett at one of his

3575
02:04:50,170 --> 02:04:53,470
last performances in Austin at the Moody, which

3576
02:04:53,470 --> 02:04:56,470
is a smaller venue indoors, and at one

3577
02:04:56,470 --> 02:04:58,010
point he puts down the mic and just

3578
02:04:58,010 --> 02:04:59,070
sings a cappella.

3579
02:04:59,590 --> 02:05:02,530
He was 87 years old, and he just

3580
02:05:02,530 --> 02:05:03,670
filled the whole place.

3581
02:05:04,870 --> 02:05:05,910
Good times, brother.

3582
02:05:06,210 --> 02:05:07,210
That's not coming back.

3583
02:05:07,550 --> 02:05:08,130
Good times.

3584
02:05:10,470 --> 02:05:12,990
When I was a kid, we could see

3585
02:05:12,990 --> 02:05:15,330
the Rolling Stones at CBGB's.

3586
02:05:15,830 --> 02:05:16,630
It was great.

3587
02:05:18,090 --> 02:05:20,610
I did see the Ramones at CBGB's.

3588
02:05:21,010 --> 02:05:22,190
I never saw the Ramones.

3589
02:05:22,330 --> 02:05:24,870
I saw a lot of bands, though, but

3590
02:05:24,870 --> 02:05:25,830
I haven't been to a concert.

3591
02:05:25,930 --> 02:05:26,950
No, I'm not going to go to one.

3592
02:05:27,670 --> 02:05:28,770
So what was the last one you saw?

3593
02:05:29,110 --> 02:05:30,450
Probably the last one we used to go

3594
02:05:30,450 --> 02:05:31,790
to the Venetian room where you would get

3595
02:05:31,790 --> 02:05:33,870
to see over-the-hill guys.

3596
02:05:33,870 --> 02:05:36,710
I got to watch Lou Rawls in a

3597
02:05:36,710 --> 02:05:38,710
small venue at the Venetian room at the

3598
02:05:38,710 --> 02:05:39,210
Fairmont.

3599
02:05:39,370 --> 02:05:39,730
Lou Rawls.

3600
02:05:39,770 --> 02:05:40,530
How about your buddy?

3601
02:05:40,650 --> 02:05:41,970
Have you seen your buddy with the six

3602
02:05:41,970 --> 02:05:43,650
-string bass?

3603
02:05:45,230 --> 02:05:46,470
Who's got a six-string bass?

3604
02:05:46,570 --> 02:05:47,390
A six-string guitar.

3605
02:05:48,090 --> 02:05:48,730
Seven-string.

3606
02:05:49,050 --> 02:05:49,770
Seven-string, no.

3607
02:05:49,910 --> 02:05:50,250
Who is it?

3608
02:05:50,390 --> 02:05:50,490
McGuinn.

3609
02:05:51,390 --> 02:05:52,190
Yeah, McGuinn.

3610
02:05:52,710 --> 02:05:53,490
Yeah, we saw him.

3611
02:05:53,650 --> 02:05:54,990
He played up in Port Angeles.

3612
02:05:55,470 --> 02:05:56,070
It's interesting.

3613
02:05:56,250 --> 02:05:57,930
He's like a, you know, he is a

3614
02:05:57,930 --> 02:05:58,190
friend.

3615
02:05:58,550 --> 02:05:59,470
He's great to watch.

3616
02:06:00,230 --> 02:06:01,850
Oh, he's got a terrific performance.

3617
02:06:01,850 --> 02:06:03,630
We kept trying to talk him into doing

3618
02:06:03,630 --> 02:06:05,250
it on Broadway as a one-man show.

3619
02:06:05,410 --> 02:06:06,650
Totally good idea.

3620
02:06:07,450 --> 02:06:07,790
I know.

3621
02:06:07,850 --> 02:06:08,710
I thought so, too.

3622
02:06:08,850 --> 02:06:10,410
But, you know, he's like on a ship.

3623
02:06:10,550 --> 02:06:12,450
Right now, I guarantee he's on a cunard

3624
02:06:12,450 --> 02:06:14,090
or something floating around.

3625
02:06:14,150 --> 02:06:17,330
He has one of those GPS devices, and

3626
02:06:17,330 --> 02:06:19,510
he'll send me a message from the GPS

3627
02:06:19,510 --> 02:06:20,510
ping device.

3628
02:06:22,270 --> 02:06:23,410
He's a total nerd.

3629
02:06:23,590 --> 02:06:24,630
Yeah, it'll come in as an email.

3630
02:06:24,750 --> 02:06:25,910
And he's in his 80s now.

3631
02:06:26,110 --> 02:06:29,290
But he's doing great on those cruises because

3632
02:06:29,290 --> 02:06:32,610
this is smaller, upper-class-type cruises.

3633
02:06:32,610 --> 02:06:34,710
And he won't do a concert on the

3634
02:06:34,710 --> 02:06:34,910
cruise.

3635
02:06:34,990 --> 02:06:36,030
He only does lectures.

3636
02:06:36,510 --> 02:06:37,990
Well, I think he plays, too.

3637
02:06:38,150 --> 02:06:38,630
I think he plays.

3638
02:06:38,630 --> 02:06:40,290
Yeah, but he plays during his lecture because

3639
02:06:40,290 --> 02:06:42,190
his lecture is punctuated by his playing.

3640
02:06:42,390 --> 02:06:42,490
Yeah.

3641
02:06:42,650 --> 02:06:44,290
Now, McGuinn, he's awesome.

3642
02:06:46,130 --> 02:06:47,370
I love sending people emails.

3643
02:06:47,370 --> 02:06:49,190
Roger McGuinn and I, we email, you know,

3644
02:06:49,190 --> 02:06:49,810
when he's on the ship.

3645
02:06:49,810 --> 02:06:52,270
So he was over at the house before

3646
02:06:52,270 --> 02:06:55,390
he gave his lecture concert in Port Angeles

3647
02:06:55,390 --> 02:06:58,310
because besides the fact that we have to

3648
02:06:58,310 --> 02:07:00,510
exchange dinners at houses to be friends.

3649
02:07:00,770 --> 02:07:01,170
That's correct.

3650
02:07:01,370 --> 02:07:02,030
That's correct.

3651
02:07:02,370 --> 02:07:04,230
So he's over at the house because he

3652
02:07:04,230 --> 02:07:06,790
has to have, this is a little sidelight

3653
02:07:06,790 --> 02:07:09,730
thing about guys like this, he has to,

3654
02:07:09,830 --> 02:07:12,050
before he does a concert, when he played

3655
02:07:12,050 --> 02:07:15,010
all his life, he has to have a

3656
02:07:15,010 --> 02:07:20,330
New York steak dinner the night before he

3657
02:07:20,330 --> 02:07:21,130
performs.

3658
02:07:21,630 --> 02:07:23,390
Well, guys like him have that.

3659
02:07:23,390 --> 02:07:25,270
So I cooked him, I personally cooked him

3660
02:07:25,270 --> 02:07:26,690
a New York steak dinner.

3661
02:07:26,850 --> 02:07:28,330
I told him, yeah, I'm not going to

3662
02:07:28,330 --> 02:07:30,870
have any problem making this meal for him

3663
02:07:30,870 --> 02:07:32,710
and his wife, but you've got to do

3664
02:07:32,710 --> 02:07:35,110
me a favor and bring the banjo and

3665
02:07:35,110 --> 02:07:37,110
give us the material.

3666
02:07:37,710 --> 02:07:39,090
So he brought his banjo.

3667
02:07:39,510 --> 02:07:40,010
Oh, man.

3668
02:07:40,090 --> 02:07:42,650
And he's a terrific banjo player, which is

3669
02:07:42,650 --> 02:07:43,850
unknown to most people.

3670
02:07:43,970 --> 02:07:44,370
Yeah, yeah.

3671
02:07:46,130 --> 02:07:47,270
On we go.

3672
02:07:47,750 --> 02:07:50,230
Well, no, but you know what?

3673
02:07:50,230 --> 02:07:54,030
This is your Uncle Adam and Uncle John

3674
02:07:54,030 --> 02:07:56,550
telling you some Thanksgiving stories about back in

3675
02:07:56,550 --> 02:07:56,990
the day.

3676
02:07:57,730 --> 02:07:59,130
And it was, by the way, a seven

3677
02:07:59,130 --> 02:07:59,650
-string guitar.

3678
02:07:59,790 --> 02:08:01,450
People are like, Curry, it's a 12-string.

3679
02:08:01,550 --> 02:08:03,590
No, Roger McGuinn, very famous.

3680
02:08:03,610 --> 02:08:05,170
Okay, I'll give you the history of this.

3681
02:08:05,950 --> 02:08:11,050
So, yes, he was a masterful, an impresario

3682
02:08:11,050 --> 02:08:13,350
12-string player for you guys in the

3683
02:08:13,350 --> 02:08:13,750
chat room.

3684
02:08:14,010 --> 02:08:14,590
This is the story.

3685
02:08:15,090 --> 02:08:17,950
And at some point in his playing career,

3686
02:08:17,950 --> 02:08:20,570
he determined that one of the strings, and

3687
02:08:20,570 --> 02:08:22,390
he told me exactly why he did this,

3688
02:08:22,650 --> 02:08:24,550
but one of the strings that was some

3689
02:08:24,550 --> 02:08:28,210
screwball string with this crazy note, if you

3690
02:08:28,210 --> 02:08:29,570
put it right down the middle of the

3691
02:08:29,570 --> 02:08:32,310
guitar and put it in there and played

3692
02:08:32,310 --> 02:08:34,810
it, which made a seven-string guitar, and

3693
02:08:34,810 --> 02:08:37,330
he had, I think, Gibson or somebody make

3694
02:08:37,330 --> 02:08:39,210
a custom version for him, one of these

3695
02:08:39,210 --> 02:08:40,390
companies, I don't know which one.

3696
02:08:40,890 --> 02:08:42,530
And so he had this guitar made, and

3697
02:08:42,530 --> 02:08:43,150
you can buy them.

3698
02:08:43,550 --> 02:08:45,910
He says it sounds exactly like a 12

3699
02:08:45,910 --> 02:08:47,510
-string because the whole sound of a 12

3700
02:08:47,510 --> 02:08:50,190
-string is this one note that offsets the

3701
02:08:50,190 --> 02:08:52,230
other notes, and he had some complex reason

3702
02:08:52,230 --> 02:08:52,590
for it.

3703
02:08:52,610 --> 02:08:54,030
But, no, it's a seven-string guitar.

3704
02:08:54,230 --> 02:08:55,690
It sounds like a 12-string when you

3705
02:08:55,690 --> 02:08:56,090
play it.

3706
02:08:56,990 --> 02:08:59,230
And the last story, then, because when he

3707
02:08:59,230 --> 02:09:00,850
was in Austin, Tina and I went to

3708
02:09:00,850 --> 02:09:01,290
go see him.

3709
02:09:01,350 --> 02:09:04,110
We go up to the Will Call desk.

3710
02:09:04,230 --> 02:09:07,250
They say, Yeah, Roger left tickets for us.

3711
02:09:07,570 --> 02:09:08,490
We said, Hold on a second.

3712
02:09:09,430 --> 02:09:12,130
And Roger comes out himself with the tickets.

3713
02:09:12,130 --> 02:09:13,610
And he hangs out there.

3714
02:09:13,690 --> 02:09:16,150
It's his concert, and he's out there.

3715
02:09:16,390 --> 02:09:17,790
People are like, Roger McGuinn.

3716
02:09:18,630 --> 02:09:20,810
And we're just like, Hey, Adam, Tina, how

3717
02:09:20,810 --> 02:09:21,150
you doing?

3718
02:09:21,230 --> 02:09:22,050
Come on back.

3719
02:09:22,090 --> 02:09:23,250
We'll go hang out over here.

3720
02:09:23,330 --> 02:09:24,850
But he came out to the front to

3721
02:09:24,850 --> 02:09:25,410
get us.

3722
02:09:25,810 --> 02:09:26,810
He's such a lovely man.

3723
02:09:26,830 --> 02:09:27,410
That's cute.

3724
02:09:27,430 --> 02:09:28,190
He's a lovely man.

3725
02:09:28,410 --> 02:09:30,730
For those who want to know Roger McGuinn,

3726
02:09:31,110 --> 02:09:32,210
listen to the birds.

3727
02:09:32,830 --> 02:09:34,090
B-Y-R-D-S.

3728
02:09:34,750 --> 02:09:35,650
Turn, turn, turn.

3729
02:09:36,070 --> 02:09:37,790
Did you ever see the Grateful Dead while

3730
02:09:37,790 --> 02:09:38,610
tripping on acid?

3731
02:09:38,730 --> 02:09:39,870
The Troll Room wants to know.

3732
02:09:41,570 --> 02:09:43,270
I've seen the Grateful Dead quite a few

3733
02:09:43,270 --> 02:09:43,510
times.

3734
02:09:43,570 --> 02:09:45,050
You don't need to trip on acid for

3735
02:09:45,050 --> 02:09:45,310
them.

3736
02:09:46,370 --> 02:09:49,730
They did this trick that still gets people

3737
02:09:49,730 --> 02:09:50,310
attracted.

3738
02:09:50,870 --> 02:09:53,790
They would put, and I talked to one

3739
02:09:53,790 --> 02:09:55,410
of the sound engineers about this, and I

3740
02:09:55,410 --> 02:09:57,350
had this confirmed a couple of times.

3741
02:09:58,530 --> 02:10:01,470
They had the ability with the way they

3742
02:10:01,470 --> 02:10:04,990
play to create standing waves in the audience.

3743
02:10:05,750 --> 02:10:06,170
Wow.

3744
02:10:06,930 --> 02:10:07,630
That could kill you.

3745
02:10:07,630 --> 02:10:10,290
And when they got later and later, this

3746
02:10:10,290 --> 02:10:11,950
was also confirmed by Bob Heil.

3747
02:10:11,990 --> 02:10:13,510
When I talked to him, I didn't interview

3748
02:10:13,510 --> 02:10:13,770
him.

3749
02:10:13,890 --> 02:10:16,410
Could you literally sit there with an SWR

3750
02:10:16,410 --> 02:10:18,770
meter and measure the standing wave ratio?

3751
02:10:18,770 --> 02:10:18,990
Yeah, you could.

3752
02:10:19,990 --> 02:10:22,150
If you had the wherewithal, you could.

3753
02:10:23,710 --> 02:10:26,330
The later concerts, which is the ones they

3754
02:10:26,330 --> 02:10:29,030
did before, they probably still do them with

3755
02:10:29,030 --> 02:10:32,110
some of these engineers, they had developed some

3756
02:10:32,110 --> 02:10:34,650
gear, so the engineer, this is when the

3757
02:10:34,650 --> 02:10:35,950
engineer told me this when I was doing

3758
02:10:35,950 --> 02:10:38,710
my software hard talk radio show.

3759
02:10:38,990 --> 02:10:42,190
He says, we could control where to put

3760
02:10:42,190 --> 02:10:45,330
the standing wave with a knob, and he'd

3761
02:10:45,330 --> 02:10:49,030
move the standing wave around, and you could

3762
02:10:49,030 --> 02:10:51,630
see by the reaction of the people that

3763
02:10:51,630 --> 02:10:52,710
got stuck in it.

3764
02:10:53,930 --> 02:10:56,150
Yes, you could tell where it was.

3765
02:10:56,170 --> 02:10:57,650
You could give people an orgasm?

3766
02:10:58,290 --> 02:10:59,910
It's pretty close to it.

3767
02:10:59,990 --> 02:11:00,490
Wow.

3768
02:11:01,530 --> 02:11:02,330
Oh, man.

3769
02:11:03,690 --> 02:11:04,850
That's interesting.

3770
02:11:04,850 --> 02:11:06,970
I would love to know how that worked.

3771
02:11:08,810 --> 02:11:12,850
Well, when you saw Jerry and Weir or

3772
02:11:12,850 --> 02:11:14,250
the other, the last one of the two,

3773
02:11:14,550 --> 02:11:15,930
they would look at each other and they

3774
02:11:15,930 --> 02:11:17,730
would start playing a certain kind of way

3775
02:11:17,730 --> 02:11:19,670
to get the standing note when they were

3776
02:11:19,670 --> 02:11:22,070
doing it by hand before the engineers got

3777
02:11:22,070 --> 02:11:23,610
a hold of the technology and could move

3778
02:11:23,610 --> 02:11:24,090
it around.

3779
02:11:24,590 --> 02:11:24,790
Wow.

3780
02:11:25,270 --> 02:11:26,930
And the standing wave is what attracted so

3781
02:11:26,930 --> 02:11:29,770
many, got people addicted to the Grateful Dead,

3782
02:11:30,010 --> 02:11:32,810
they're touring around with them because, and I've

3783
02:11:32,810 --> 02:11:35,490
had this experience, when the standing wave goes

3784
02:11:35,490 --> 02:11:38,710
over you, it's just the damnedest thing you've

3785
02:11:38,710 --> 02:11:39,370
ever felt.

3786
02:11:39,530 --> 02:11:40,710
It's like, wow.

3787
02:11:42,530 --> 02:11:44,750
Man, this is a story you've never told

3788
02:11:44,750 --> 02:11:44,970
me.

3789
02:11:45,790 --> 02:11:47,110
I guess I haven't.

3790
02:11:47,150 --> 02:11:48,350
I've told the story before.

3791
02:11:48,770 --> 02:11:50,410
No, not here, not on the show.

3792
02:11:50,810 --> 02:11:52,910
No, well, yeah, the standing wave of the

3793
02:11:52,910 --> 02:11:55,110
Grateful Dead, and the first time, the thing

3794
02:11:55,110 --> 02:11:57,410
is, though, it wasn't the first band who

3795
02:11:57,410 --> 02:11:57,870
did this.

3796
02:11:57,950 --> 02:11:59,170
I think they just took it to the

3797
02:11:59,170 --> 02:11:59,810
highest level.

3798
02:12:00,250 --> 02:12:02,130
There was a band that came before them

3799
02:12:02,130 --> 02:12:06,390
in the 60s called the Sons of Champlain

3800
02:12:06,390 --> 02:12:08,930
or one other group.

3801
02:12:09,030 --> 02:12:10,030
I can't remember which one.

3802
02:12:10,110 --> 02:12:11,270
It's the one that had a 12-string

3803
02:12:11,270 --> 02:12:12,930
in it, and they used a 12-string

3804
02:12:12,930 --> 02:12:15,550
in their band, and they could do it.

3805
02:12:15,630 --> 02:12:19,610
They created standing waves, but they weren't turning

3806
02:12:19,610 --> 02:12:22,370
it into their gimmick.

3807
02:12:23,050 --> 02:12:24,630
The Grateful Dead perfected it.

3808
02:12:24,690 --> 02:12:26,790
Apparently, they called this the Wall of Sound,

3809
02:12:26,870 --> 02:12:30,350
which I always thought was Phil Spector's term.

3810
02:12:30,350 --> 02:12:32,810
Yeah, I think the Wall of Sound refers

3811
02:12:32,810 --> 02:12:34,110
to Phil Spector's most.

3812
02:12:34,370 --> 02:12:35,690
I never heard of the Wall of Sound

3813
02:12:35,690 --> 02:12:36,550
being used for the dead.

3814
02:12:36,570 --> 02:12:39,670
I just did a search for Grateful Dead

3815
02:12:39,670 --> 02:12:42,010
standing waves, and it all comes up with

3816
02:12:42,010 --> 02:12:43,690
Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound.

3817
02:12:44,570 --> 02:12:45,270
Yeah, it could be.

3818
02:12:45,710 --> 02:12:47,490
Maybe that's what they called it, but you're

3819
02:12:47,490 --> 02:12:48,410
right, it's derivative.

3820
02:12:48,510 --> 02:12:51,250
I would love to know how they did

3821
02:12:51,250 --> 02:12:51,510
that.

3822
02:12:52,390 --> 02:12:54,430
That would be cool just to, like, with

3823
02:12:54,430 --> 02:12:55,990
people over at the house playing.

3824
02:12:56,790 --> 02:12:58,430
I don't think you can do it in

3825
02:12:58,430 --> 02:13:00,970
a closed, that small of an environment.

3826
02:13:01,310 --> 02:13:02,630
Come on, do it outside while I'm driving

3827
02:13:02,630 --> 02:13:02,970
by.

3828
02:13:03,090 --> 02:13:04,470
Just zap people from the car.

3829
02:13:04,730 --> 02:13:05,270
I don't know if you can.

3830
02:13:05,790 --> 02:13:06,010
No?

3831
02:13:06,310 --> 02:13:09,230
These things, I first got into standing, the

3832
02:13:09,230 --> 02:13:11,410
idea of standing waves, there was, Bose used

3833
02:13:11,410 --> 02:13:15,550
to have a series of stereo stores all

3834
02:13:15,550 --> 02:13:18,030
over the country, and they had a standing

3835
02:13:18,030 --> 02:13:21,490
wave exhibit within the store usually.

3836
02:13:21,870 --> 02:13:24,210
It was to point out that they didn't

3837
02:13:24,210 --> 02:13:26,110
have these issues because it was a problem,

3838
02:13:26,950 --> 02:13:29,510
and the way they showed it is they

3839
02:13:29,510 --> 02:13:31,910
had a tube with a speaker on an

3840
02:13:31,910 --> 02:13:33,670
end, and then they had a bunch of

3841
02:13:33,670 --> 02:13:36,590
these little white pellets, these little styrofoam pellets,

3842
02:13:36,870 --> 02:13:39,190
and then they start playing sounds, and you

3843
02:13:39,190 --> 02:13:41,790
can see the waves within the tube because

3844
02:13:41,790 --> 02:13:44,690
it was clear, and then they'd do something

3845
02:13:44,690 --> 02:13:46,870
that would happen, boop, all of them went

3846
02:13:46,870 --> 02:13:47,690
in one spot.

3847
02:13:47,870 --> 02:13:50,210
They all stood up, the pellets all stood

3848
02:13:50,210 --> 02:13:52,330
up, and then it moved from one end

3849
02:13:52,330 --> 02:13:54,290
to the other, and that's when I understood

3850
02:13:54,290 --> 02:13:55,730
what it looked like.

3851
02:13:55,930 --> 02:13:58,330
So basically, it's a directed energy weapon.

3852
02:13:59,890 --> 02:14:01,750
Well, it's not much of a weapon, but

3853
02:14:01,750 --> 02:14:02,090
yeah.

3854
02:14:02,190 --> 02:14:02,590
Well?

3855
02:14:05,070 --> 02:14:07,530
Well, it's a weapon to sell tickets.

3856
02:14:08,650 --> 02:14:10,290
It's a marketing weapon.

3857
02:14:10,550 --> 02:14:14,230
Speaking of standing waves, we want to thank

3858
02:14:14,230 --> 02:14:19,170
our go-to guy, Darren O'Neal, no,

3859
02:14:19,310 --> 02:14:20,050
Jeffrey Rhea.

3860
02:14:20,650 --> 02:14:22,110
Jeffrey Rhea did this art.

3861
02:14:22,110 --> 02:14:26,750
He finally was able to create a white

3862
02:14:26,750 --> 02:14:31,150
image, although the hair was orange, the shirt

3863
02:14:31,150 --> 02:14:33,930
was orange, the desk was orange, the antenna

3864
02:14:33,930 --> 02:14:37,490
was orange, the little broadcast bits coming off

3865
02:14:37,490 --> 02:14:38,610
the antenna were orange.

3866
02:14:38,910 --> 02:14:41,570
That was the artwork for Episode 1819, our

3867
02:14:41,570 --> 02:14:44,850
previous episode we titled that, Flop 30, as

3868
02:14:44,850 --> 02:14:48,030
a joke for Cop 30, and this was

3869
02:14:48,030 --> 02:14:52,790
selected because we talked about Mesh-tastic.

3870
02:14:53,470 --> 02:14:55,870
Mesh-tastic, which I've gotten so many emails

3871
02:14:55,870 --> 02:14:59,550
over right now, like, dude, it's not worth

3872
02:14:59,550 --> 02:14:59,950
it.

3873
02:15:00,530 --> 02:15:01,190
It's a dog.

3874
02:15:01,350 --> 02:15:01,930
It's a dog.

3875
02:15:02,230 --> 02:15:03,190
It's no good.

3876
02:15:03,650 --> 02:15:04,830
Don't even bother.

3877
02:15:04,950 --> 02:15:06,190
You're only going to be disappointed.

3878
02:15:07,050 --> 02:15:08,450
So I took that to heart.

3879
02:15:09,470 --> 02:15:10,990
Let's see what other art.

3880
02:15:11,070 --> 02:15:14,290
This is noagendaartgenerator.com where people can submit,

3881
02:15:14,450 --> 02:15:15,470
and thank you very much.

3882
02:15:15,470 --> 02:15:16,750
I see a lot of turkey, a lot

3883
02:15:16,750 --> 02:15:18,810
of Thanksgiving art for today's show.

3884
02:15:19,990 --> 02:15:23,130
Let me see what else came in for

3885
02:15:23,130 --> 02:15:24,850
the previous episode.

3886
02:15:24,850 --> 02:15:26,550
Well, back to the Jeffrey Rhea piece, I

3887
02:15:26,550 --> 02:15:28,230
would say I'm the one who pushed this.

3888
02:15:29,070 --> 02:15:29,690
You did.

3889
02:15:29,870 --> 02:15:31,050
I was like, eh.

3890
02:15:31,950 --> 02:15:32,590
You didn't like it.

3891
02:15:32,630 --> 02:15:34,390
It was cartoony, but you had to admit

3892
02:15:34,390 --> 02:15:38,850
he did a decent job of getting the

3893
02:15:38,850 --> 02:15:39,690
colors right.

3894
02:15:39,810 --> 02:15:40,290
It was a gimme.

3895
02:15:40,290 --> 02:15:44,310
A lot of people posting wine glasses half

3896
02:15:44,310 --> 02:15:47,210
full to fill to the rim full, which

3897
02:15:47,210 --> 02:15:47,510
apparently.

3898
02:15:47,870 --> 02:15:48,790
Yeah, to prove you wrong.

3899
02:15:48,990 --> 02:15:49,650
You're wrong, Curry.

3900
02:15:50,510 --> 02:15:50,830
Yeah.

3901
02:15:51,010 --> 02:15:51,950
Well, yeah, he's right.

3902
02:15:52,270 --> 02:15:54,630
Like, for example, here's the glass all full

3903
02:15:54,630 --> 02:15:57,210
three, and it says noagenda.

3904
02:15:57,390 --> 02:15:59,670
It has a full glass of wine, which

3905
02:15:59,670 --> 02:16:00,750
is kind of to the brim.

3906
02:16:00,890 --> 02:16:03,730
There's a meniscus, and then Curry and DeVore.

3907
02:16:03,810 --> 02:16:05,310
This is not going to be picked.

3908
02:16:05,570 --> 02:16:06,070
No.

3909
02:16:07,210 --> 02:16:08,850
You're just showing off.

3910
02:16:08,850 --> 02:16:11,390
A piece of a glass of wine is

3911
02:16:11,390 --> 02:16:12,510
not the art.

3912
02:16:13,450 --> 02:16:15,950
So anyway, it's always in the prompting.

3913
02:16:16,070 --> 02:16:17,250
It's always about the idea.

3914
02:16:17,610 --> 02:16:19,710
And no comic strip blogger, your butt still

3915
02:16:19,710 --> 02:16:20,610
will not get chosen.

3916
02:16:21,230 --> 02:16:22,830
He's always posting butt artwork.

3917
02:16:24,070 --> 02:16:25,150
It's just a.

3918
02:16:25,670 --> 02:16:28,010
And we're also not going to post Candace

3919
02:16:28,010 --> 02:16:29,610
Owens with a gun.

3920
02:16:29,870 --> 02:16:30,150
Okay.

3921
02:16:31,070 --> 02:16:31,590
Okay.

3922
02:16:31,889 --> 02:16:32,490
I didn't see that one.

3923
02:16:32,629 --> 02:16:33,209
Yeah, you did.

3924
02:16:33,290 --> 02:16:34,790
With the beret.

3925
02:16:34,950 --> 02:16:35,370
All right.

3926
02:16:35,990 --> 02:16:37,070
That's not happening.

3927
02:16:38,030 --> 02:16:39,889
That's definitely not happening.

3928
02:16:40,930 --> 02:16:41,770
Oh, man.

3929
02:16:41,850 --> 02:16:43,790
So many people are going crazy about Candace

3930
02:16:43,790 --> 02:16:44,190
Owens.

3931
02:16:44,490 --> 02:16:46,809
I should also mention that for people, artists

3932
02:16:46,809 --> 02:16:48,570
out there, you should know that you can't

3933
02:16:48,570 --> 02:16:53,290
use famous people in promotional material that you

3934
02:16:53,290 --> 02:16:54,270
don't pay them for.

3935
02:16:54,850 --> 02:16:55,129
Correct.

3936
02:16:55,309 --> 02:16:58,270
And this album is promotional material.

3937
02:16:58,490 --> 02:17:00,570
So we can't use necessarily.

3938
02:17:00,610 --> 02:17:02,049
I mean, you can use the president, something

3939
02:17:02,049 --> 02:17:04,490
that's the current events, but you can't necessarily

3940
02:17:04,490 --> 02:17:08,330
use somebody to promote your product without paying

3941
02:17:08,330 --> 02:17:08,809
them.

3942
02:17:08,950 --> 02:17:10,930
And I've heard Candace is rather litigious.

3943
02:17:11,370 --> 02:17:12,030
So, yeah.

3944
02:17:12,250 --> 02:17:12,770
Oh, yes.

3945
02:17:12,790 --> 02:17:13,129
That's right.

3946
02:17:13,170 --> 02:17:13,530
She is.

3947
02:17:13,629 --> 02:17:14,590
So you don't want to deal with.

3948
02:17:15,910 --> 02:17:16,389
Yeah.

3949
02:17:16,389 --> 02:17:17,170
She's litigious.

3950
02:17:18,530 --> 02:17:19,170
All right.

3951
02:17:19,190 --> 02:17:21,250
Thank you very much, Jeffrey Ria for creating

3952
02:17:21,250 --> 02:17:21,750
the artwork.

3953
02:17:21,850 --> 02:17:24,270
We appreciate that as a valuable contribution.

3954
02:17:24,410 --> 02:17:26,030
Of course, this is a value for value

3955
02:17:26,030 --> 02:17:26,270
podcast.

3956
02:17:28,590 --> 02:17:29,290
Excuse me.

3957
02:17:29,790 --> 02:17:32,150
Which means that all we expect back from

3958
02:17:32,150 --> 02:17:32,930
you is some value.

3959
02:17:32,930 --> 02:17:34,670
Whenever you can bring it to us.

3960
02:17:34,730 --> 02:17:36,950
And I believe we had some kind of

3961
02:17:36,950 --> 02:17:40,290
here it is glitch during the last show.

3962
02:17:40,309 --> 02:17:42,450
And we were missing some pay pals and

3963
02:17:42,450 --> 02:17:44,250
maybe some maybe.

3964
02:17:44,410 --> 02:17:45,030
I don't know.

3965
02:17:45,090 --> 02:17:45,809
Checks, whatever.

3966
02:17:45,990 --> 02:17:48,230
So it seems like some of that may

3967
02:17:48,230 --> 02:17:49,330
have carried over to today.

3968
02:17:49,450 --> 02:17:50,510
Is that a correct assumption?

3969
02:17:50,670 --> 02:17:52,250
I believe that's probably true.

3970
02:17:52,490 --> 02:17:56,950
However, interestingly enough, coming in as an executive

3971
02:17:56,950 --> 02:17:58,670
producer, top executive producer.

3972
02:17:58,730 --> 02:18:01,230
Remember, we thank everybody $50 and above 200

3973
02:18:01,230 --> 02:18:01,590
or more.

3974
02:18:01,590 --> 02:18:03,209
You become an associate executive producer.

3975
02:18:03,330 --> 02:18:03,889
Real credit.

3976
02:18:04,230 --> 02:18:05,049
You can use anywhere.

3977
02:18:05,490 --> 02:18:07,190
You can even put it on IMDB.com.

3978
02:18:07,290 --> 02:18:09,330
Open your own profile there.

3979
02:18:10,430 --> 02:18:11,430
$300 above.

3980
02:18:11,690 --> 02:18:12,590
I will read your note.

3981
02:18:12,709 --> 02:18:13,889
You become an executive producer.

3982
02:18:14,070 --> 02:18:15,830
So once again, executive producer.

3983
02:18:16,610 --> 02:18:18,990
Two times in one month, which doesn't happen

3984
02:18:18,990 --> 02:18:19,290
often.

3985
02:18:19,290 --> 02:18:21,590
With $2,666.

3986
02:18:23,590 --> 02:18:26,090
Seronomous of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia.

3987
02:18:27,209 --> 02:18:29,490
Which is interesting that he came in again

3988
02:18:29,490 --> 02:18:30,070
so quickly.

3989
02:18:31,150 --> 02:18:31,270
Yeah.

3990
02:18:31,270 --> 02:18:33,629
And he always has a thoughtful note, and

3991
02:18:33,629 --> 02:18:34,610
we're going to read that.

3992
02:18:35,370 --> 02:18:37,709
Thank you to all producers for contributing so

3993
02:18:37,709 --> 02:18:39,430
much to this open source resource.

3994
02:18:40,150 --> 02:18:41,969
Yes, still alive.

3995
02:18:42,110 --> 02:18:43,209
We were questioning that.

3996
02:18:44,250 --> 02:18:45,330
We always are.

3997
02:18:45,770 --> 02:18:48,590
And Caterpillar sales are doing fine thanks to

3998
02:18:48,590 --> 02:18:51,610
rare earth and energy demands, plus a little

3999
02:18:51,610 --> 02:18:52,370
rubalizing.

4000
02:18:53,590 --> 02:18:55,709
There's a riddle in there somewhere, John.

4001
02:18:55,830 --> 02:18:57,350
Well, I'm the one who said he's probably

4002
02:18:57,350 --> 02:18:58,389
a Caterpillar salesman.

4003
02:18:58,389 --> 02:18:59,150
Ah.

4004
02:19:01,910 --> 02:19:03,190
You were right.

4005
02:19:03,790 --> 02:19:05,129
Let me just put it this way.

4006
02:19:05,389 --> 02:19:09,309
What else could possibly explain his constant world

4007
02:19:09,309 --> 02:19:13,170
traveling, especially throughout the Mideast and all over

4008
02:19:13,170 --> 02:19:16,690
the world, just now and everywhere, without, I

4009
02:19:16,690 --> 02:19:20,209
mean, the only explanation is he's a Caterpillar

4010
02:19:20,209 --> 02:19:20,469
salesman.

4011
02:19:20,950 --> 02:19:22,230
And we're going to keep it at that

4012
02:19:22,230 --> 02:19:22,830
from now on.

4013
02:19:23,290 --> 02:19:25,809
A small expansion from my last note.

4014
02:19:25,809 --> 02:19:29,430
John's comparison of the Mojave Desert to Sahel

4015
02:19:29,430 --> 02:19:30,309
was misleading.

4016
02:19:31,190 --> 02:19:35,389
Mojave is a desert, 54,000 square miles

4017
02:19:35,389 --> 02:19:37,629
with portions in four U.S. states.

4018
02:19:39,270 --> 02:19:43,170
Sahel is semi-arid grassland south of the

4019
02:19:43,170 --> 02:19:46,730
Sahara, covering 1.2 million square miles, larger

4020
02:19:46,730 --> 02:19:50,250
than Alaska, Texas, and California combined, reaching 3

4021
02:19:50,250 --> 02:19:52,510
,600 miles from the Atlantic to the Red

4022
02:19:52,510 --> 02:19:56,190
Sea across 11 sovereign countries, most former French

4023
02:19:56,190 --> 02:19:59,310
colonies, whose countries are the largest employer of

4024
02:19:59,310 --> 02:20:02,830
Africa Core, a focus on Chinese investment, and

4025
02:20:02,830 --> 02:20:05,390
a region accounting for half of all terrorist

4026
02:20:05,390 --> 02:20:06,890
deaths globally.

4027
02:20:07,530 --> 02:20:09,270
The more you know, he says.

4028
02:20:10,110 --> 02:20:12,450
Thank you for this death update in the

4029
02:20:12,450 --> 02:20:12,850
sand.

4030
02:20:13,630 --> 02:20:15,910
Only a cat sales guy could come up

4031
02:20:15,910 --> 02:20:16,190
with that.

4032
02:20:16,270 --> 02:20:16,610
You're right.

4033
02:20:16,730 --> 02:20:16,830
Yeah.

4034
02:20:17,130 --> 02:20:17,390
You're right.

4035
02:20:17,850 --> 02:20:18,570
Thank you, Sir Animas.

4036
02:20:18,690 --> 02:20:20,770
We really appreciate you, of course.

4037
02:20:20,930 --> 02:20:22,990
And I guess you get another Peace Prize.

4038
02:20:22,990 --> 02:20:24,510
If you didn't already have one, you're getting

4039
02:20:24,510 --> 02:20:24,830
one.

4040
02:20:28,030 --> 02:20:31,490
Travis Guidry in Fort Riley, Kansas.

4041
02:20:31,890 --> 02:20:32,330
Fort Riley.

4042
02:20:33,030 --> 02:20:33,630
$1,000.

4043
02:20:33,990 --> 02:20:34,230
Wow.

4044
02:20:34,950 --> 02:20:41,690
Travis Guidry from Kansas, COVID criminal to very

4045
02:20:41,690 --> 02:20:44,090
first Army reinstatement.

4046
02:20:44,390 --> 02:20:46,590
So he was obviously in the Army, got

4047
02:20:46,590 --> 02:20:48,970
kicked out for not taking the shot.

4048
02:20:48,970 --> 02:20:50,790
For not taking the shot and got reinstated.

4049
02:20:51,010 --> 02:20:51,450
First one.

4050
02:20:51,450 --> 02:20:54,530
And probably got some cash for it.

4051
02:20:54,710 --> 02:20:54,910
Back pay.

4052
02:20:55,090 --> 02:20:55,370
Yes.

4053
02:20:56,510 --> 02:20:59,950
This Insta Dame ship is for my wife,

4054
02:21:00,210 --> 02:21:01,170
Janine.

4055
02:21:01,710 --> 02:21:02,310
Janine.

4056
02:21:02,590 --> 02:21:05,150
Her name is actually Janine Longtime Listener.

4057
02:21:06,430 --> 02:21:08,350
Strange last name, but you never know.

4058
02:21:08,650 --> 02:21:10,510
She needs to be de-douche.

4059
02:21:12,130 --> 02:21:13,950
You've been de-douche.

4060
02:21:14,910 --> 02:21:17,530
And from now on, shall be referred to

4061
02:21:17,530 --> 02:21:22,650
as Dame Janine of beat them until morale

4062
02:21:22,650 --> 02:21:23,570
improves.

4063
02:21:24,690 --> 02:21:26,770
So there's a lot of material in there

4064
02:21:26,770 --> 02:21:28,130
that's well, subtle.

4065
02:21:29,090 --> 02:21:30,630
Thank you very much, Travis.

4066
02:21:30,730 --> 02:21:31,770
And she's on the list.

4067
02:21:31,890 --> 02:21:34,470
Anonymous in Bainbridge Island, Washington.

4068
02:21:34,630 --> 02:21:35,550
Also $1,000.

4069
02:21:35,930 --> 02:21:37,230
I'll say wow again.

4070
02:21:38,210 --> 02:21:40,230
ITM, this donation is a switcheroo.

4071
02:21:41,230 --> 02:21:44,010
This is a posthumous knighthood for one of

4072
02:21:44,010 --> 02:21:46,050
the best friends I could have ever asked

4073
02:21:46,050 --> 02:21:46,310
for.

4074
02:21:46,490 --> 02:21:48,130
It's always a little sad when we have

4075
02:21:48,130 --> 02:21:48,670
one of those.

4076
02:21:48,810 --> 02:21:50,450
Let me just put it in.

4077
02:21:50,710 --> 02:21:52,110
His name is Craig Fillion.

4078
02:21:53,290 --> 02:21:55,170
He fought long and hard and finally bit

4079
02:21:55,170 --> 02:21:57,210
the bullet and succumbed to a very aggressive

4080
02:21:57,210 --> 02:21:58,190
cancer bout.

4081
02:21:58,870 --> 02:22:01,310
Only after his insurance refused to pay for

4082
02:22:01,310 --> 02:22:02,050
his medication.

4083
02:22:02,390 --> 02:22:03,070
Oh, brother.

4084
02:22:03,770 --> 02:22:05,250
That insurance is great.

4085
02:22:05,250 --> 02:22:08,130
Also a belated birthday to him as well,

4086
02:22:08,270 --> 02:22:10,190
which was on the 25th of November.

4087
02:22:10,390 --> 02:22:10,990
Happy birthday.

4088
02:22:11,330 --> 02:22:12,390
You are thought about often.

4089
02:22:12,830 --> 02:22:14,870
Also, please add me to the list on

4090
02:22:14,870 --> 02:22:15,990
November 27th.

4091
02:22:16,050 --> 02:22:17,730
So, Anonymous, you're on.

4092
02:22:18,430 --> 02:22:19,930
And now on a lighter note, your public

4093
02:22:19,930 --> 02:22:22,710
service as podcasters is very much appreciated and

4094
02:22:22,710 --> 02:22:23,770
undervalued.

4095
02:22:24,210 --> 02:22:26,810
On top of the archived episodes, the bingit

4096
02:22:26,810 --> 02:22:29,730
.io are two of the greatest libraries of

4097
02:22:29,730 --> 02:22:31,270
knowledge I've come across.

4098
02:22:31,830 --> 02:22:33,090
People should know this.

4099
02:22:33,090 --> 02:22:35,770
Bingit.io, which is part of the Clip

4100
02:22:35,770 --> 02:22:39,810
Genie Empire, is a phenomenal resource.

4101
02:22:40,290 --> 02:22:41,890
You can just type anything in.

4102
02:22:42,250 --> 02:22:43,070
It'll pop up.

4103
02:22:43,310 --> 02:22:45,470
You see which episode, whether it's a clip,

4104
02:22:45,630 --> 02:22:47,410
whether it's mentions or show notes.

4105
02:22:48,290 --> 02:22:49,590
Thank you, Sir Deanonymous.

4106
02:22:49,730 --> 02:22:51,530
That is a great, valuable resource.

4107
02:22:52,310 --> 02:22:53,830
And he winds up by saying thank you

4108
02:22:53,830 --> 02:22:54,170
so much.

4109
02:22:54,250 --> 02:22:55,850
Anonymous from Bainbridge Island.

4110
02:22:58,620 --> 02:23:04,600
Onward to Justine and Sloan in Bozeman, Montana.

4111
02:23:07,120 --> 02:23:09,420
And they sent in a check and wrote

4112
02:23:09,420 --> 02:23:09,800
a note.

4113
02:23:10,320 --> 02:23:11,920
And I got it right here, as you

4114
02:23:11,920 --> 02:23:12,300
can tell.

4115
02:23:13,160 --> 02:23:14,400
ITM, John and Adam, thank you for the

4116
02:23:14,400 --> 02:23:15,400
best podcast in the universe.

4117
02:23:15,520 --> 02:23:17,420
May I please request one.

4118
02:23:18,080 --> 02:23:21,440
Karma for the Montana State Bobcat football team

4119
02:23:21,440 --> 02:23:23,440
in their upcoming playoff run.

4120
02:23:24,340 --> 02:23:27,060
Now, we at one time banned this sort

4121
02:23:27,060 --> 02:23:29,100
of thing, but then we stopped banning it.

4122
02:23:29,180 --> 02:23:30,500
So, okay, we'll give you that.

4123
02:23:31,020 --> 02:23:35,280
It doesn't help, usually, because karma is not

4124
02:23:35,280 --> 02:23:35,980
for football.

4125
02:23:36,280 --> 02:23:37,440
But, you know, we'll give it a shot.

4126
02:23:38,080 --> 02:23:40,240
Happy birthday on November 28th to my smoking

4127
02:23:40,240 --> 02:23:42,060
hot husband, Josh Palmer.

4128
02:23:42,500 --> 02:23:45,140
You are the best dad, husband, friend, and

4129
02:23:45,140 --> 02:23:45,460
man.

4130
02:23:45,780 --> 02:23:47,000
We adore you.

4131
02:23:47,280 --> 02:23:49,200
Love, Justine and Sloan.

4132
02:23:49,260 --> 02:23:51,520
Happy Thanksgiving, Adam and John.

4133
02:23:51,520 --> 02:23:53,160
Oh, thank you so much.

4134
02:23:53,160 --> 02:23:55,200
And Justine has a really pretty writing.

4135
02:23:56,480 --> 02:23:57,700
She signed it.

4136
02:23:58,560 --> 02:23:59,500
I mean, really pretty.

4141
02:24:10,580 --> 02:24:11,580
Thanks for all you do.

4142
02:24:12,120 --> 02:24:15,280
To all humans out there, gift someone this

4143
02:24:15,280 --> 02:24:17,220
year with a lavender salve.

4144
02:24:17,900 --> 02:24:19,500
These are outstanding products.

4145
02:24:19,600 --> 02:24:20,680
Both John and I have used it.

4146
02:24:20,680 --> 02:24:23,120
You'll score some points, I promise.

4147
02:24:23,520 --> 02:24:24,840

02:24:27,680 --> 02:24:28,040
I'm sorry.

4150
02:24:28,420 --> 02:24:30,500
SirCal of LavenderBlossoms.org.

4151
02:24:30,700 --> 02:24:34,060
And if you use the coupon code ITM

4152
02:24:34,060 --> 02:24:36,300
at checkout, you'll get some kind of deal.

4153
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:37,800
Thank you, SirCal.

4154
02:24:38,320 --> 02:24:39,500
LavenderBlossoms.org.

4155
02:24:40,700 --> 02:24:42,380
Do you have your pen?

4156
02:24:43,920 --> 02:24:44,520
Yeah.

4157
02:24:46,020 --> 02:24:49,420
I'm not seeing Josh Palmer on the birthday

4158
02:24:49,420 --> 02:24:50,420
call-out list.

4159
02:24:51,380 --> 02:24:52,320
It was on this note.

4160
02:24:52,400 --> 02:24:53,300
It could have been missed.

4161
02:24:54,660 --> 02:24:56,180
And do you have the details?

4162
02:24:56,740 --> 02:24:58,020
Josh Palmer.

4163
02:24:58,060 --> 02:25:01,260
That would be November 28th.

4164
02:25:01,260 --> 02:25:03,280
My spoken hat has been Josh Palmer.

4165
02:25:04,540 --> 02:25:06,180
Josh Palmer from Justine.

4166
02:25:06,380 --> 02:25:07,780
No age.

4167
02:25:07,900 --> 02:25:09,000
Okay, got it.

4168
02:25:09,420 --> 02:25:10,780
He's on the list now.

4169
02:25:12,100 --> 02:25:13,340
All right, you just did.

4170
02:25:13,720 --> 02:25:15,440
Yeah, I did the Lavender Blossoms.

4171
02:25:15,620 --> 02:25:16,620
Okay, now I got this thing.

4172
02:25:16,620 --> 02:25:16,720
John C.

4173
02:25:16,760 --> 02:25:17,260
DuBois, I go.

4174
02:25:18,760 --> 02:25:20,860
You have to be able to shorten these

4175
02:25:20,860 --> 02:25:21,700
on the fly, man.

4176
02:25:21,840 --> 02:25:22,820
This is just too long.

4177
02:25:22,820 --> 02:25:24,260
Yeah, well, it's not a matter of that.

4178
02:25:24,340 --> 02:25:25,180
Well, anyways, Alexander.

4179
02:25:25,180 --> 02:25:26,560
It is a night note.

4180
02:25:29,960 --> 02:25:30,680
Alexander Django.

4181
02:25:31,580 --> 02:25:33,500
And I have nothing but gibberish.

4182
02:25:34,020 --> 02:25:35,940
Bjargo, not Django, Bjargo.

4183
02:25:36,780 --> 02:25:38,340
It's B, it says B, Bjargo.

4184
02:25:39,080 --> 02:25:40,700
Oh, Bjargo, yeah, Bjargo.

4185
02:25:42,200 --> 02:25:42,920
Bjargo, Bjargo.

4186
02:25:42,920 --> 02:25:43,920
Yes, Bjargo.

4187
02:25:44,020 --> 02:25:44,420
I agree.

4188
02:25:44,740 --> 02:25:46,560
I guess this is Spain.

4189
02:25:48,540 --> 02:25:50,620
But it's $250.

4190
02:25:51,440 --> 02:25:53,220
Recently I asked for a donation and 33

4191
02:25:53,220 --> 02:25:54,260
people chipped in.

4192
02:25:55,280 --> 02:25:57,480
I asked for donations and 33 people chipped

4193
02:25:57,480 --> 02:25:57,720
in.

4194
02:25:58,440 --> 02:26:00,600
I believe this value for value donation earns

4195
02:26:00,600 --> 02:26:03,040
me the honorary title of the Norwegian Knight.

4196
02:26:05,560 --> 02:26:06,160
ES.

4197
02:26:06,840 --> 02:26:08,460
Is that Estonia?

4198
02:26:09,820 --> 02:26:11,560
I thought ES was Spain.

4199
02:26:12,120 --> 02:26:13,300
I thought it was too, but it could

4200
02:26:13,300 --> 02:26:13,960
be Estonia.

4201
02:26:13,960 --> 02:26:14,760
Okay.

4202
02:26:17,120 --> 02:26:19,300
So, which would explain all the mess the

4203
02:26:19,300 --> 02:26:19,980
rest of it is.

4204
02:26:20,100 --> 02:26:21,960
And it sounds more like an Estonian name.

4205
02:26:22,000 --> 02:26:22,480
Bjargo?

4206
02:26:22,660 --> 02:26:23,520
Yeah, like Bjork?

4207
02:26:23,760 --> 02:26:23,960
Yeah.

4208
02:26:24,600 --> 02:26:25,020
Yeah.

4209
02:26:26,620 --> 02:26:29,280
One of my ancestors was in fact among

4210
02:26:29,280 --> 02:26:34,120
the winter, was in fact, was in fact

4211
02:26:34,120 --> 02:26:37,900
among the writers of the Norwegian Constitution in

4212
02:26:37,900 --> 02:26:38,140
1814.

4213
02:26:38,900 --> 02:26:39,000
Wow.

4214
02:26:39,160 --> 02:26:41,020
When he finally broke free from Denmark, I

4215
02:26:41,020 --> 02:26:42,580
have a deep, this has got to be

4216
02:26:42,580 --> 02:26:43,240
Estonia.

4217
02:26:43,240 --> 02:26:45,420
Deep love for my country and its culture.

4218
02:26:45,580 --> 02:26:48,960
Regarding your recent discussion on Muslim immigrants, I

4219
02:26:48,960 --> 02:26:52,280
believe you both underrate the impact they can

4220
02:26:52,280 --> 02:26:54,820
have on Western society like ours.

4221
02:26:55,180 --> 02:26:58,900
Take Drammen, one of the Norway's largest cities.

4222
02:26:59,440 --> 02:27:01,660
There are now 21 mosques and only five,

4223
02:27:01,660 --> 02:27:03,600
which is all part of the thing, only

4224
02:27:03,600 --> 02:27:04,300
five churches.

4225
02:27:04,520 --> 02:27:05,940
Well, that's a discrepancy.

4226
02:27:06,180 --> 02:27:06,940
Yeah, there's your problem.

4227
02:27:07,640 --> 02:27:10,040
Additionally, about 50% of the immigrants from

4228
02:27:10,040 --> 02:27:12,440
countries like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan are on

4229
02:27:12,440 --> 02:27:13,340
social welfare.

4230
02:27:13,520 --> 02:27:14,280
Yes, this happens.

4231
02:27:14,880 --> 02:27:16,300
Now, whose fault is this, by the way?

4232
02:27:16,340 --> 02:27:17,540
You can't blame the Muslims.

4233
02:27:18,000 --> 02:27:18,120
No.

4234
02:27:18,500 --> 02:27:20,300
On top of that, the Muslims are increasingly

4235
02:27:20,300 --> 02:27:22,420
represented in local and national politics.

4236
02:27:22,600 --> 02:27:23,100
Of course they are.

4237
02:27:23,320 --> 02:27:26,720
Like the current Speaker of the Parliament, Massoud,

4238
02:27:26,800 --> 02:27:28,240
I can't pronounce his last name.

4239
02:27:28,600 --> 02:27:28,960
Garakani.

4240
02:27:29,880 --> 02:27:30,380
Garakani.

4241
02:27:32,020 --> 02:27:35,580
The Muslims and the socialists are loving each

4242
02:27:35,580 --> 02:27:35,900
other.

4243
02:27:36,120 --> 02:27:38,780
Dude, it's your government, bro.

4244
02:27:38,780 --> 02:27:41,120
It's your borders are open and your government

4245
02:27:41,120 --> 02:27:42,280
is letting them in.

4246
02:27:42,400 --> 02:27:43,420
That's what you got to stop.

4247
02:27:43,520 --> 02:27:45,380
We don't have that problem currently.

4248
02:27:46,300 --> 02:27:50,380
No, but it'll be back after they impeach

4249
02:27:50,380 --> 02:27:50,800
Trump.

4250
02:27:52,560 --> 02:27:54,980
Also, consider that Muslims breed much faster than

4251
02:27:54,980 --> 02:27:55,820
the other Norwegians.

4252
02:27:55,960 --> 02:27:57,900
Well, that's another issue.

4253
02:27:58,320 --> 02:28:00,900
They say that today's rate Muslims will eventually

4254
02:28:00,900 --> 02:28:01,720
be in the majority.

4255
02:28:02,200 --> 02:28:05,860
Oslo, the capital, unbelievable considering that Norway has

4256
02:28:05,860 --> 02:28:08,260
become a Christian or been a Christian country

4257
02:28:08,260 --> 02:28:09,140
for over a thousand years.

4258
02:28:09,140 --> 02:28:11,060
Well, then don't just rest on your laurels.

4259
02:28:11,400 --> 02:28:13,040
I mean, there's lots of things you can

4260
02:28:13,040 --> 02:28:13,440
do.

4261
02:28:15,240 --> 02:28:17,280
Finally, I have a theory why your listenership

4262
02:28:17,280 --> 02:28:20,640
numbers might not be growing as quickly as

4263
02:28:20,640 --> 02:28:22,380
you deserve.

4264
02:28:23,380 --> 02:28:27,200
Because the listeners like me, treating the show

4265
02:28:27,200 --> 02:28:28,460
as a secret advantage.

4266
02:28:28,860 --> 02:28:30,540
Yeah, well, this is probably true.

4267
02:28:31,500 --> 02:28:33,720
Yeah, this has always been a problem.

4268
02:28:33,740 --> 02:28:34,660
Read it, read it, read it.

4269
02:28:35,480 --> 02:28:38,060
We're treating the show like a secret advantage

4270
02:28:38,060 --> 02:28:41,620
in deconstructing the news faster than my peers.

4271
02:28:42,020 --> 02:28:45,100
The social and intellectual capital it gives me

4272
02:28:45,100 --> 02:28:45,800
is priceless.

4273
02:28:45,940 --> 02:28:49,200
In other words, it shows becoming a cheat

4274
02:28:49,200 --> 02:28:52,700
for people because you get when you, which

4275
02:28:52,700 --> 02:28:54,660
is what the show is done for that

4276
02:28:54,660 --> 02:28:55,160
purpose.

4277
02:28:55,900 --> 02:28:56,060
Yeah.

4278
02:28:56,160 --> 02:28:57,520
To give you an advantage.

4279
02:28:57,660 --> 02:28:58,560
What's that worth it?

4280
02:28:58,660 --> 02:28:59,560
What's that worth to you?

4281
02:28:59,660 --> 02:29:00,180
$250.

4282
02:29:00,640 --> 02:29:02,460
That's a good value for value.

4283
02:29:02,500 --> 02:29:02,880
Yeah, $250.

4284
02:29:02,880 --> 02:29:05,220
Everyone should listen to this.

4285
02:29:06,100 --> 02:29:06,580
Yeah.

4286
02:29:06,660 --> 02:29:09,740
Anyway, that's from Alexander.

4287
02:29:09,860 --> 02:29:10,680
Nice, Alexander.

4288
02:29:10,960 --> 02:29:13,200
Hey, then we have a buddy of mine,

4289
02:29:13,380 --> 02:29:14,480
Barry from Podhome.

4290
02:29:15,020 --> 02:29:17,620
Barry from Breda in the Netherlands, $250.

4291
02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:19,500
He says, in the morning, gents, and thank

4292
02:29:19,500 --> 02:29:20,240
you for your courage.

4293
02:29:21,260 --> 02:29:22,220
Oh, it's a promo.

4294
02:29:22,720 --> 02:29:25,440
For Black Friday, we at Podhome.fm are

4295
02:29:25,440 --> 02:29:28,120

4296

4297
02:29:29,740 --> 02:29:33,640
This is a good, even when you pay,

4298
02:29:33,780 --> 02:29:36,180
it's very, I don't want to say cheap,

4299
02:29:36,280 --> 02:29:37,180
but it's cost effective.

4300
02:29:37,900 --> 02:29:38,500
And here we go.

4301
02:29:38,580 --> 02:29:41,720

4303
02:29:43,220 --> 02:29:44,360
I believe this to be true.

We offer unlimited podcast hosting, use of Podhome

4305

02:30:18,800 --> 02:30:23,340
month or $185 per year for unlimited podcasting.

4316
02:30:24,300 --> 02:30:26,080
Barry's a good deal, and he's a good

4317
02:30:26,080 --> 02:30:26,380
guy.

4318
02:30:26,380 --> 02:30:27,740
Now, what is this again?

4319
02:30:28,220 --> 02:30:32,200
So he is a podcast hosting company?

4320
02:30:32,400 --> 02:30:35,020
Yes, a modern podcast hosting company with all

4321
02:30:35,020 --> 02:30:38,020
of the cool features and very cost effective.

4322
02:30:38,480 --> 02:30:39,380
Is it any good?

4323
02:30:39,540 --> 02:30:40,120
It's very good.

4324
02:30:40,160 --> 02:30:40,820
I've used it.

4325
02:30:41,300 --> 02:30:42,000
It's very good.

4326
02:30:42,540 --> 02:30:44,300
So this is something Mimi should be using

4327
02:30:44,300 --> 02:30:46,940
for her local podcast at Port Angeles.

4328
02:30:46,960 --> 02:30:48,780
I think I recommended it to her.

4329
02:30:48,780 --> 02:30:51,780
I said Podhome.fm because you throw your

4330
02:30:51,780 --> 02:30:55,400
MP3 file in there, it does chapters, transcripts,

4331
02:30:55,440 --> 02:30:56,640
show notes, all automatic.

4332
02:30:57,020 --> 02:31:01,020
It would be great for us, but we're

4333
02:31:01,020 --> 02:31:02,680
kind of stuck in our infrastructure.

4334
02:31:04,000 --> 02:31:05,660
Our infrastructure is great.

4335
02:31:05,780 --> 02:31:08,620
And also, I don't know if Barry would

4336
02:31:08,620 --> 02:31:10,460
be very happy with the amount of traffic

4337
02:31:10,460 --> 02:31:12,880
that we consume twice a week.

4338
02:31:14,140 --> 02:31:15,840
No, he'd go nuts.

4339
02:31:15,900 --> 02:31:16,500
It would break him.

4340
02:31:16,520 --> 02:31:17,060
It would break him.

4341
02:31:17,060 --> 02:31:18,980
It would raise the price for everybody, so

4342
02:31:18,980 --> 02:31:19,880
we don't want to do that.

4343
02:31:19,880 --> 02:31:23,060
We pay big dough to keep the bandwidth

4344
02:31:23,060 --> 02:31:23,420
up.

4345
02:31:23,520 --> 02:31:23,800
We do.

4346
02:31:24,220 --> 02:31:26,560
And we have a specialist who does the

4347
02:31:26,560 --> 02:31:27,100
job in the back end.

4348
02:31:27,100 --> 02:31:28,460
Void Zero, the one and only.

4349
02:31:29,060 --> 02:31:29,300
Yep.

4350
02:31:30,360 --> 02:31:32,660
And gets paid on time.

4351
02:31:33,680 --> 02:31:33,920
Okay.

4352
02:31:34,500 --> 02:31:39,560
Alan Hutchcraft in Mary, Maysville, Maryland, 250.

4353
02:31:39,980 --> 02:31:43,360
He has a note consisting of two sheets,

4354
02:31:43,440 --> 02:31:44,640
and he's handwritten it.

4355
02:31:45,320 --> 02:31:46,780
Oh, goodness.

4356
02:31:47,640 --> 02:31:48,760
It's actually not bad.

4357
02:31:48,860 --> 02:31:49,320
He prints.

4358
02:31:50,080 --> 02:31:51,220
It's not longhand.

4359
02:31:51,760 --> 02:31:53,400
In the morning, John and Adam, as I'm

4360
02:31:53,400 --> 02:31:56,700
about to complete my 50th approved trip around

4361
02:31:56,700 --> 02:31:58,020
the sun, November 29th.

4362
02:31:58,120 --> 02:31:59,520
He's on the list, I'm sure.

4363
02:32:00,200 --> 02:32:01,980
It is time for me to quit being

4364
02:32:01,980 --> 02:32:04,420
a douchebag and donate.

4365
02:32:06,220 --> 02:32:08,440
I was hitting the mile seven years ago,

4366
02:32:08,760 --> 02:32:10,500
but one of my best friends, by the

4367
02:32:10,500 --> 02:32:11,860
way, he donated 250.

4368
02:32:13,180 --> 02:32:16,180
Gavin Lent, who is also a douchebag.

4369
02:32:16,600 --> 02:32:17,160
Douchebag.

4370
02:32:18,160 --> 02:32:21,220
It only took a few minutes of listening

4371
02:32:21,220 --> 02:32:23,220
to the best podcast in the universe to

4372
02:32:23,220 --> 02:32:25,900
realize that he was onto something great.

4373
02:32:26,660 --> 02:32:28,340
I've hit several people in the mouth, but

4374
02:32:28,340 --> 02:32:30,600
I want to call out my co-worker

4375
02:32:30,600 --> 02:32:34,820
and fellow assistant principal, Jason Lenz, as a

4376
02:32:34,820 --> 02:32:35,320
douchebag.

4377
02:32:36,220 --> 02:32:36,780
Douchebag.

4378
02:32:37,580 --> 02:32:40,100
Hopefully, he and Gavin will see the light

4379
02:32:40,100 --> 02:32:41,020
and donate.

4380
02:32:41,920 --> 02:32:42,220
Wow.

4381
02:32:43,000 --> 02:32:44,880
During the season of Thanksgiving, I want to

4382
02:32:44,880 --> 02:32:45,400
thank both.

4383
02:32:45,500 --> 02:32:48,940
By the way, let's give Alan here a

4384
02:32:48,940 --> 02:32:50,340
de-douching right off the top.

4385
02:32:51,420 --> 02:32:53,240
You've been de-douched.

4386
02:32:53,640 --> 02:32:55,340
During the season of Thanksgiving, I want to

4387
02:32:55,340 --> 02:32:59,820
thank both of you for working on Thanksgiving.

4388
02:32:59,820 --> 02:33:00,520
Oh, no.

4389
02:33:00,600 --> 02:33:03,560
He says, for your amygdala-shrinking work each

4390
02:33:03,560 --> 02:33:05,840
Thursday and Sunday.

4391
02:33:06,460 --> 02:33:08,980
As our scheduled district faces...

4392
02:33:09,880 --> 02:33:10,660
School district.

4393
02:33:10,800 --> 02:33:11,100
School.

4394
02:33:11,180 --> 02:33:11,600
I'm sorry.

4395
02:33:11,860 --> 02:33:12,420
School.

4396
02:33:13,000 --> 02:33:13,420
Wow.

4397
02:33:14,020 --> 02:33:15,160
You can see where I got a D

4398
02:33:15,160 --> 02:33:15,860
in that, don't you?

4399
02:33:17,560 --> 02:33:18,120
School.

4400
02:33:18,480 --> 02:33:21,680
School district faces financial challenges.

4401
02:33:21,840 --> 02:33:23,680
I would ask for a jobs karma for

4402
02:33:23,680 --> 02:33:26,860
those of us wanting to continue serving our

4403
02:33:26,860 --> 02:33:28,000
students and community.

4404
02:33:28,000 --> 02:33:30,000
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

4405
02:33:30,740 --> 02:33:31,260
Alrighty.

4406
02:33:33,460 --> 02:33:35,140
You've got karma.

4407
02:33:35,620 --> 02:33:37,460
I just realized I forgot to give out

4408
02:33:37,460 --> 02:33:39,280
a jobs karma for the note earlier.

4409
02:33:39,580 --> 02:33:42,820
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4410
02:33:42,940 --> 02:33:44,360
Let's vote for jobs.

4411
02:33:44,920 --> 02:33:46,420
You've got karma.

4412
02:33:47,360 --> 02:33:50,820
Now we come to 233.33, Little John's

4413
02:33:50,820 --> 02:33:54,040
Candies from Somerset, California, with a note that

4414
02:33:54,040 --> 02:33:55,720
is too long, but I will see what

4415
02:33:55,720 --> 02:33:56,360
I can do here.

4416
02:33:56,360 --> 02:33:57,940
In the morning, John and Adam, hopefully you've

4417
02:33:57,940 --> 02:33:59,580
both been to your P.O. Box recently

4418
02:33:59,580 --> 02:34:01,360
and found a package from us.

4419
02:34:02,540 --> 02:34:04,360
I did not see a package yet.

4420
02:34:04,480 --> 02:34:04,840
Did you see it?

4421
02:34:04,840 --> 02:34:05,580
I have a package.

4422
02:34:05,780 --> 02:34:06,660
I got the package.

4423
02:34:07,040 --> 02:34:11,660
It includes some olive oil and it includes

4424
02:34:11,660 --> 02:34:12,440
some...

4425
02:34:12,440 --> 02:34:13,580
Well, I'll read it here.

4426
02:34:13,700 --> 02:34:15,820
Inside you will find our world-famous English

4427
02:34:15,820 --> 02:34:17,500
toffee and our chocolate turkeys.

4428
02:34:18,140 --> 02:34:18,860
Okay, stop.

4429
02:34:20,100 --> 02:34:22,480
The chocolate turkey is a work of art.

4430
02:34:23,380 --> 02:34:24,440
I'm going to have to go to the

4431
02:34:24,440 --> 02:34:25,800
P.O. Box before we go to our

4432
02:34:25,800 --> 02:34:26,340
dinner then.

4433
02:34:26,340 --> 02:34:28,820
The chocolate turkey is a work of art.

4434
02:34:28,980 --> 02:34:30,680
I don't know how they got this mold.

4435
02:34:30,840 --> 02:34:32,100
It's very detailed.

4436
02:34:32,300 --> 02:34:33,020
It's unbelievable.

4437
02:34:33,840 --> 02:34:36,080
It also includes a bottle of wine from

4438
02:34:36,080 --> 02:34:38,280
one of our fellow small businesses here in

4439
02:34:38,280 --> 02:34:41,280
Amador County, Driven Cellars, and a bottle of

4440
02:34:41,280 --> 02:34:44,000
olive oil from another local small business, Slow

4441
02:34:44,000 --> 02:34:44,620
220.

4442
02:34:45,300 --> 02:34:46,540
I thought you might enjoy these for your

4443
02:34:46,540 --> 02:34:47,300
Thanksgiving holiday.

4444
02:34:47,940 --> 02:34:49,760
Being from a family of small business owners,

4445
02:34:49,840 --> 02:34:51,600
I often think of value, and you guys

4446
02:34:51,600 --> 02:34:53,360
certainly deliver real value.

4447
02:34:53,360 --> 02:34:55,400
I think of how I can ensure that

4448
02:34:55,400 --> 02:34:57,780
the people in my community are directly affected

4449
02:34:57,780 --> 02:34:58,580
by my business.

4450
02:34:59,400 --> 02:35:01,920
The most impactful way for me to do

4451
02:35:01,920 --> 02:35:04,220
that is for Little John's to spend its

4452
02:35:04,220 --> 02:35:07,080
money with other local small businesses, whether it's

4453
02:35:07,080 --> 02:35:08,800
a box or a bag, almonds or butter,

4454
02:35:09,100 --> 02:35:11,400
or any of the other basic nuts and

4455
02:35:11,400 --> 02:35:12,700
bolts that you need to run a business,

4456
02:35:12,840 --> 02:35:13,640
we shop small.

4457
02:35:14,100 --> 02:35:15,640
My father always taught me that when we

4458
02:35:15,640 --> 02:35:18,080
spent money with another small business, it grew

4459
02:35:18,080 --> 02:35:20,240
the community and enabled the community to spend

4460
02:35:20,240 --> 02:35:20,940
money with us.

4461
02:35:21,200 --> 02:35:21,480
True.

4462
02:35:23,200 --> 02:35:24,900
That's why you should spend money on your

4463
02:35:24,900 --> 02:35:27,240
podcasters to help podcasting grow.

4464
02:35:28,220 --> 02:35:30,120
At Little John's Candies, we've been making candy

4465
02:35:30,120 --> 02:35:32,160
exactly the same way for over 100 years

4466
02:35:32,160 --> 02:35:34,400
while staying true to that small local business

4467
02:35:34,400 --> 02:35:34,700
model.

4468
02:35:34,820 --> 02:35:36,840
Our business model was built over 100 years

4469
02:35:36,840 --> 02:35:37,120
ago.

4470
02:35:37,380 --> 02:35:39,660
With no advertising dollars into the budget, we

4471
02:35:39,660 --> 02:35:42,140
simply didn't build discounts into our margins to

4472
02:35:42,140 --> 02:35:42,800
drive sales.

4473
02:35:42,900 --> 02:35:44,980
Our prices have always been based on value.

4474
02:35:45,560 --> 02:35:47,140
That doesn't mean we're the best price on

4475
02:35:47,140 --> 02:35:48,720
the market, but we've always been a fair

4476
02:35:48,720 --> 02:35:49,100
price.

4477
02:35:49,200 --> 02:35:50,040
I think you're best price.

4478
02:35:50,560 --> 02:35:52,700
We've always prided ourselves on the idea that

4479
02:35:52,700 --> 02:35:54,460
we charge the same price to everyone and

4480
02:35:54,460 --> 02:35:55,600
rarely provide discounts.

4481
02:35:56,180 --> 02:35:57,540
I share this because I want to show

4482
02:35:57,540 --> 02:35:59,620
my appreciation for the value you give by

4483
02:35:59,620 --> 02:36:01,980
offering you and this community a little extra

4484
02:36:01,980 --> 02:36:02,800
value from us.

4485
02:36:03,260 --> 02:36:04,680
10% off your order.

4486
02:36:04,900 --> 02:36:05,780
That is a discount.

4487
02:36:06,320 --> 02:36:08,400
Anytime between now and Christmas, and if you

4488
02:36:08,400 --> 02:36:10,820
buy our world-famous English toffee, we'll donate

4489
02:36:10,820 --> 02:36:12,600
10% of that to the No Agenda

4490
02:36:12,600 --> 02:36:14,020
Show in your name.

4491
02:36:15,560 --> 02:36:18,900
Our world-famous toffee is made with simple

4492
02:36:18,900 --> 02:36:19,380
ingredients.

4493
02:36:19,500 --> 02:36:21,480
Butter, sugar, almonds, and chocolate has been shipped

4494
02:36:21,480 --> 02:36:22,100
all over the world.

4495
02:36:22,480 --> 02:36:24,900
Families have built traditions around giving, receiving, and

4496
02:36:24,900 --> 02:36:25,380
sharing it.

4497
02:36:25,520 --> 02:36:27,960
At the holidays, we pride ourselves on still

4498
02:36:27,960 --> 02:36:30,460
making our toffee fresh and cooked to perfection.

4499
02:36:30,880 --> 02:36:34,340
Use code ITM10 plus 10, that's P-L

4500
02:36:34,340 --> 02:36:35,380
-U-S, at checkout.

4501
02:36:35,860 --> 02:36:37,480
No jingles because I had too long of

4502
02:36:37,480 --> 02:36:38,720
a note, and thank you for your courage.

4503
02:36:38,960 --> 02:36:42,480
Christopher and the Little John's Elves.

4504
02:36:42,480 --> 02:36:44,580
P.S., did I mention we offer gift

4505
02:36:44,580 --> 02:36:45,660
wrap at no extra charge?

4506
02:36:45,860 --> 02:36:47,060
Now, who does that?

4507
02:36:48,820 --> 02:36:49,260
Wow.

4508
02:36:49,560 --> 02:36:49,840
Okay.

4509
02:36:49,980 --> 02:36:50,420
Thank you.

4510
02:36:50,560 --> 02:36:51,300
Thank you so much.

4511
02:36:51,720 --> 02:36:52,400
I'm sorry.

4512
02:36:52,740 --> 02:36:54,860
We went to the—must have just come in

4513
02:36:54,860 --> 02:36:56,620
because we went to the PO Box earlier

4514
02:36:56,620 --> 02:36:57,440
but didn't see it.

4515
02:36:57,980 --> 02:36:59,780
Do you have a post office box locally

4516
02:36:59,780 --> 02:37:00,660
or do you have to drive all the

4517
02:37:00,660 --> 02:37:01,340
way to Austin?

4518
02:37:01,580 --> 02:37:01,980
No, no.

4519
02:37:02,040 --> 02:37:02,800
It's here locally.

4520
02:37:04,480 --> 02:37:05,200
Oh, okay.

4521
02:37:05,440 --> 02:37:07,240
At the Fredericksburg Post Office, baby.

4522
02:37:08,720 --> 02:37:11,700
Barbara Kemp comes in from Granger, Indiana, 223,

4523
02:37:11,760 --> 02:37:13,200
and she has a note that is impossible

4524
02:37:13,200 --> 02:37:13,680
to read.

4525
02:37:16,220 --> 02:37:19,940
She has a birthday coming up, and she's

4526
02:37:19,940 --> 02:37:21,420
got a birthday call out for somebody.

4527
02:37:23,240 --> 02:37:25,040
She's calling out a birthday for someone who's

4528
02:37:25,040 --> 02:37:26,920
going to be 100 years old.

4529
02:37:27,100 --> 02:37:27,560
Wow.

4530
02:37:28,540 --> 02:37:31,020
So this is the kind of broad range

4531
02:37:31,020 --> 02:37:33,840
of demo that we have on our show.

4532
02:37:34,080 --> 02:37:34,260
Yeah.

4533
02:37:34,720 --> 02:37:35,900
Zeds to 100.

4534
02:37:35,900 --> 02:37:36,020
That's weird.

4535
02:37:36,520 --> 02:37:38,020
Zeds to centennials.

4536
02:37:41,080 --> 02:37:43,780
So she—okay, here's—I'm going to explain what happened

4537
02:37:43,780 --> 02:37:43,980
here.

4538
02:37:44,040 --> 02:37:45,060
I have the note in front of me.

4539
02:37:45,260 --> 02:37:46,640
It's impossible to read.

4540
02:37:47,320 --> 02:37:48,700
It's impossible to read.

4541
02:37:48,760 --> 02:37:52,480
She has good handwriting, but she's 71, and

4542
02:37:52,480 --> 02:37:55,880
I have to assume that when she learned

4543
02:37:55,880 --> 02:37:59,200
her handwriting skills, and this is longhand, this

4544
02:37:59,200 --> 02:38:04,240
is not printed, she's got a great hand,

4545
02:38:04,420 --> 02:38:07,680
but she's using a light ink, which makes

4546
02:38:07,680 --> 02:38:09,800
it tough, even though the copy is a

4547
02:38:09,800 --> 02:38:11,780
little better looking than the paper itself.

4548
02:38:12,780 --> 02:38:16,580
But everything is jammed together so tight, it

4549
02:38:16,580 --> 02:38:18,360
makes it very difficult to read aloud.

4550
02:38:18,780 --> 02:38:19,540
It's readable.

4551
02:38:20,360 --> 02:38:22,480
And so she starts off with hell.

4552
02:38:23,320 --> 02:38:24,080
Oh, no, I'm sorry.

4553
02:38:24,120 --> 02:38:24,920
It says well.

4554
02:38:24,920 --> 02:38:29,280
So she's using a W from—it's like French.

4555
02:38:30,020 --> 02:38:31,680
The French have a weird pen.

4556
02:38:32,940 --> 02:38:36,300
Well, finally, a moment to write a note

4557
02:38:36,300 --> 02:38:39,200
and tell you and— Adam.

4558
02:38:40,020 --> 02:38:40,660
Adam.

4559
02:38:41,520 --> 02:38:42,160
Thanks.

4560
02:38:42,400 --> 02:38:43,540
Yes, help me out here.

4561
02:38:44,060 --> 02:38:44,640
Thanks.

4562
02:38:44,920 --> 02:38:47,340
I believe I started listening to the no

4563
02:38:47,340 --> 02:38:53,960
agenda about— The time Adam was— Returning from

4564
02:38:53,960 --> 02:38:55,080
some trip.

4565
02:38:56,140 --> 02:38:56,280
Yeah.

4566
02:38:56,620 --> 02:39:04,500
His travel logs are always amusing, and they're

4567
02:39:04,500 --> 02:39:07,180
particularly— That particular day, exceptional.

4568
02:39:07,480 --> 02:39:09,180
The TSA has— Yes, I agree with this,

4569
02:39:09,320 --> 02:39:09,600
by the way.

4570
02:39:09,600 --> 02:39:09,780
I can do this.

4571
02:39:10,500 --> 02:39:11,080
I can do this.

4572
02:39:11,320 --> 02:39:13,900
The TSA has a way of making his

4573
02:39:13,900 --> 02:39:15,840
flying days exceptional, LOL.

4574
02:39:16,570 --> 02:39:18,480
From that day on, I was hooked.

4575
02:39:18,700 --> 02:39:21,540
My son-in-law, Seth, had been listening

4576
02:39:21,540 --> 02:39:25,020
for years and knew the king and I

4577
02:39:25,020 --> 02:39:27,720
would jump right on board.

4578
02:39:27,980 --> 02:39:28,520
The king and I.

4579
02:39:29,340 --> 02:39:33,080
And no, we have—and so we have for

4580
02:39:33,080 --> 02:39:37,720
years, and especially appreciated the COVID madness.

4581
02:39:39,020 --> 02:39:40,000
Can't—inserted something.

4582
02:39:40,360 --> 02:39:42,340
You two kept the king and I sane.

4583
02:39:42,340 --> 02:39:45,180
The king and I, but the king has

4584
02:39:45,180 --> 02:39:52,630
gone in another something-festing adventure.

4585
02:39:52,930 --> 02:39:56,390
In another long festering.

4586
02:39:56,510 --> 02:39:57,310
Long festering.

4587
02:39:57,610 --> 02:39:59,030
And so I'm home alone.

4588
02:39:59,170 --> 02:39:59,450
Ah!

4589
02:39:59,750 --> 02:40:00,970
Somebody go keep her company.

4590
02:40:01,350 --> 02:40:03,630
There's nothing better in my mind than to

4591
02:40:03,630 --> 02:40:06,950
see a lettuce and— A lettuce.

4592
02:40:07,130 --> 02:40:07,530
A letter.

4593
02:40:07,810 --> 02:40:08,350
A letter.

4594
02:40:10,530 --> 02:40:13,290
Than to pen a letter and send in

4595
02:40:13,290 --> 02:40:13,790
a donation.

4596
02:40:13,890 --> 02:40:14,370
I got you.

4597
02:40:14,370 --> 02:40:17,730
And since my mother is due—my mother is

4598
02:40:17,730 --> 02:40:20,610
due to be 100 November 28th, I wanted

4599
02:40:20,610 --> 02:40:23,590
you and Adam to wish her a happy—wish

4600
02:40:23,590 --> 02:40:24,630
her a happy one for me.

4601
02:40:24,930 --> 02:40:29,460
My mother— Alberta.

4602
02:40:29,920 --> 02:40:30,320
Alberta.

4603
02:40:31,060 --> 02:40:31,360
Yeah.

4604
02:40:32,220 --> 02:40:35,320
Chugs along—was she drinking Chardonnay?

4605
02:40:35,940 --> 02:40:38,580
Chugs along and for the most part does

4606
02:40:38,580 --> 02:40:39,260
well mentally.

4607
02:40:39,260 --> 02:40:46,660
Current events stump her, but events of the

4608
02:40:46,660 --> 02:40:50,140
past come to mind of 10.

4609
02:40:52,400 --> 02:40:53,540
My brother and I— I don't get that

4610
02:40:53,540 --> 02:40:53,700
one either.

4611
02:40:53,720 --> 02:40:55,500
My brother and I learn new things all

4612
02:40:55,500 --> 02:40:56,020
the time.

4613
02:40:56,900 --> 02:41:03,320
Since 100 seems like a measly amount, I'll

4614
02:41:03,320 --> 02:41:04,260
add on a bit more.

4615
02:41:04,360 --> 02:41:06,440
I turned 71 the 25th of November.

4616
02:41:06,540 --> 02:41:07,060
Congratulations.

4617
02:41:07,060 --> 02:41:10,520
My daughter, Rachel, was 35 May 2nd, and

4618
02:41:10,520 --> 02:41:13,500
my granddaughter, Edith, Edie, is 17 months.

4619
02:41:13,700 --> 02:41:13,800
Oh.

4620
02:41:14,540 --> 02:41:17,860
Four generations comes to a grand total of

4621
02:41:17,860 --> 02:41:19,020
$223.

4622
02:41:19,540 --> 02:41:23,540
We are all flyover girls.

4623
02:41:24,060 --> 02:41:24,760
Fly girls.

4624
02:41:25,640 --> 02:41:29,940
Or shall I say good Mediterranean stock.

4625
02:41:31,340 --> 02:41:34,620
Hopefully the enclosed— I'm surprised we're even trying

4626
02:41:34,620 --> 02:41:35,560
to get through this interview.

4627
02:41:35,560 --> 02:41:37,240
My mom used to write like this, so

4628
02:41:37,240 --> 02:41:39,380
this is why she— Oh, okay.

4629
02:41:40,820 --> 02:41:43,300
Hopefully the enclosed donation will fill up your

4630
02:41:43,300 --> 02:41:44,940
bank account some too.

4631
02:41:45,080 --> 02:41:45,500
Thank you.

4632
02:41:46,280 --> 02:41:49,800
Mom, the king, and I, happy Thanksgiving too.

4633
02:41:49,920 --> 02:41:51,220
Truly, Barbara Camp.

4634
02:41:51,300 --> 02:41:53,320
P.S. the jam is from my kitchen.

4635
02:41:54,040 --> 02:41:55,200
But she's got a ball of jam.

4636
02:41:55,480 --> 02:41:57,720
The fruit crop was perfect this year.

4637
02:41:58,280 --> 02:41:58,620
Wow.

4638
02:41:58,840 --> 02:41:59,680
Thank you for the note.

4639
02:41:59,760 --> 02:42:00,640
I appreciate that.

4640
02:42:00,740 --> 02:42:01,340
That's really beautiful.

4641
02:42:01,420 --> 02:42:02,880
Happy birthday to Alberta.

4642
02:42:03,540 --> 02:42:04,400
100 years.

4643
02:42:04,420 --> 02:42:05,340
Yeah, wow.

4644
02:42:05,340 --> 02:42:06,920
Wow is right.

4645
02:42:08,180 --> 02:42:09,120
Wow is right.

4646
02:42:09,120 --> 02:42:09,280
That's a big deal.

4647
02:42:09,520 --> 02:42:11,400
Very few people can accomplish that feat.

4648
02:42:11,740 --> 02:42:12,020
Yes.

4649
02:42:14,770 --> 02:42:15,470
You're up.

4650
02:42:16,570 --> 02:42:18,130
I just read an entire note.

4651
02:42:18,890 --> 02:42:19,970
All right, Beth.

4652
02:42:20,150 --> 02:42:20,370
Douche.

4653
02:42:22,450 --> 02:42:24,630
Beth Elliot in Corrytown, Tennessee.

4654
02:42:24,950 --> 02:42:26,030
Whoops, another note.

4655
02:42:27,710 --> 02:42:29,530
This is from page 7.

4656
02:42:29,670 --> 02:42:31,130
Let's see if we can— Oh, it says,

4657
02:42:31,250 --> 02:42:32,210
ITM Gents.

4658
02:42:32,250 --> 02:42:33,130
I can read this.

4659
02:42:33,570 --> 02:42:36,090
Beth, 222.22— Hey, you're cheating again.

4660
02:42:36,170 --> 02:42:36,850
I'm going to read it.

4661
02:42:36,850 --> 02:42:38,410
ITM Gents, congratulations.

4662
02:42:38,770 --> 02:42:39,590
Thank you for your courage.

4663
02:42:39,670 --> 02:42:42,930
Yours truly, Beth, a.k.a. Beth.

4664
02:42:45,710 --> 02:42:46,730
Thank you, Beth.

4665
02:42:46,970 --> 02:42:47,550
Thank you, Beth.

4666
02:42:47,610 --> 02:42:48,110
Bay Beth.

4667
02:42:48,290 --> 02:42:50,450
Hey, and there's Eli the Coffee Guy with

4668
02:42:50,450 --> 02:42:55,030
$211.27, $200 plus today's date, 11-27.

4669
02:42:55,270 --> 02:42:56,390
He's from Bensonville, Illinois.

4670
02:42:56,870 --> 02:42:58,890
I am enjoying his product as we speak.

4671
02:42:58,950 --> 02:43:00,790
He says, with the turkey on the table

4672
02:43:00,790 --> 02:43:03,490
and Thanksgiving entering the rear view, the season

4673
02:43:03,490 --> 02:43:06,810
of America consumerism and year-end retrospectives is

4674
02:43:06,810 --> 02:43:07,770
in full swing.

4675
02:43:08,270 --> 02:43:10,170
We've got John and the No Agenda— What

4676
02:43:10,170 --> 02:43:10,690
am I?

4677
02:43:10,810 --> 02:43:11,290
Chopped liver?

4678
02:43:12,170 --> 02:43:12,410
Yeah.

4679
02:43:12,650 --> 02:43:14,930
We've got John, John, and the No Agenda

4680
02:43:14,930 --> 02:43:17,150
Show to thank for reminding us where the

4681
02:43:17,150 --> 02:43:18,270
holiday even came from.

4682
02:43:18,330 --> 02:43:18,870
Oh, that's true.

4683
02:43:19,450 --> 02:43:21,650
As a producer, I'm grateful for you, too,

4684
02:43:21,750 --> 02:43:24,390
and your dedication showing up even on the

4685
02:43:24,390 --> 02:43:24,770
holidays.

4686
02:43:24,950 --> 02:43:27,210
And while we're on gratitude, I'm thankful for

4687
02:43:27,210 --> 02:43:29,150
all producers out there who start their morning

4688
02:43:29,150 --> 02:43:30,270
with gigawatt.

4689
02:43:30,270 --> 02:43:33,230
Quick heads up, if you missed the early

4690
02:43:33,230 --> 02:43:34,550
access email, no worries.

4691
02:43:34,630 --> 02:43:37,130
Our cans are officially available to everyone, and

4692
02:43:37,130 --> 02:43:39,510
we're kicking off a site-wide Black Friday

4693
02:43:39,510 --> 02:43:40,630
sale through Monday.

4694
02:43:41,110 --> 02:43:45,050
So visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and treat yourself or

4695
02:43:45,050 --> 02:43:46,950
someone else to the gift of good coffee.

4696
02:43:47,590 --> 02:43:50,110
Stay caffeinated, says Eli the Coffee Guy.

4697
02:43:50,230 --> 02:43:50,950
Thank you, Eli.

4698
02:43:51,210 --> 02:43:52,970
I love the cold brews.

4699
02:43:54,250 --> 02:43:57,050
Although here's a tip I have, because it

4700
02:43:57,050 --> 02:43:59,870
says shake vigorously for it to release the

4701
02:43:59,870 --> 02:44:00,350
nitro.

4702
02:44:00,870 --> 02:44:01,050
Yeah.

4703
02:44:01,470 --> 02:44:03,130
So when you do that, you want to

4704
02:44:03,130 --> 02:44:05,070
grab like a Kleenex or something before you

4705
02:44:05,070 --> 02:44:08,570
open it, because— Yeah, that's with all nitro

4706
02:44:08,570 --> 02:44:08,870
stuff.

4707
02:44:08,890 --> 02:44:10,930
Yeah, because it sprays a bit.

4708
02:44:10,950 --> 02:44:11,530
Yeah, it'll spray you.

4709
02:44:11,650 --> 02:44:13,590
Yeah, so just open it with a Kleenex

4710
02:44:13,590 --> 02:44:15,370
and then toss that away.

4711
02:44:15,450 --> 02:44:15,770
It's good.

4712
02:44:16,310 --> 02:44:17,170
You could use a napkin.

4713
02:44:17,970 --> 02:44:19,950
Napkin is—yes, that's appropriate.

4714
02:44:20,870 --> 02:44:25,250
I want to just interim here thank Sir

4715
02:44:25,250 --> 02:44:30,950
Benjamin Ritgers, and also some other person sent

4716
02:44:30,950 --> 02:44:31,610
one of these.

4717
02:44:31,710 --> 02:44:33,750
I got two of those flags I've been

4718
02:44:33,750 --> 02:44:35,170
wanting to get free.

4719
02:44:36,010 --> 02:44:36,850
Oh, oh.

4720
02:44:36,990 --> 02:44:38,830
The flag with the pirate, the straw hat

4721
02:44:38,830 --> 02:44:39,390
pirate guy.

4722
02:44:39,510 --> 02:44:39,990
The anime.

4723
02:44:40,910 --> 02:44:42,230
Skull and Crossbones.

4724
02:44:43,470 --> 02:44:44,710
Yeah, I got two of these flags.

4725
02:44:44,770 --> 02:44:45,490
The one piece.

4726
02:44:45,830 --> 02:44:46,870
They're made in China, by the way.

4727
02:44:46,950 --> 02:44:48,010
Yeah, the one piece flag.

4728
02:44:48,770 --> 02:44:50,610
They're made in China, which I thought was

4729
02:44:50,610 --> 02:44:51,070
ironic.

4730
02:44:52,470 --> 02:44:54,130
But, so I want to thank them for

4731
02:44:54,130 --> 02:44:54,630
the flags.

4732
02:44:54,770 --> 02:44:56,090
I have flags hanging now.

4733
02:44:56,170 --> 02:44:57,450
I look like a protester.

4734
02:44:59,350 --> 02:45:01,610
You don't even have a flagpole, man.

4735
02:45:02,410 --> 02:45:04,710
I don't have a flagpole, and I'm glad.

4736
02:45:07,430 --> 02:45:10,510
Matthew Martel, our buddy in Broomall, Pennsylvania.

4737
02:45:12,850 --> 02:45:13,490
21060.

4738
02:45:13,850 --> 02:45:16,430
The spats between Adam and JCD are akin

4739
02:45:16,430 --> 02:45:19,290
to Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler.

4740
02:45:20,270 --> 02:45:23,690
That's a callback that I get, Adam doesn't

4741
02:45:23,690 --> 02:45:25,310
get, very few people get.

4742
02:45:26,390 --> 02:45:28,270
It's an op, everybody.

JCD Hot Pockets is what he wants to

4748
02:45:40,710 --> 02:45:40,970
hear.

4749
02:45:41,390 --> 02:45:42,710
Hot Pockets.

4750
02:45:43,170 --> 02:45:48,570
And coming in with $209, Dame Patricia Worthington

4751
02:45:48,570 --> 02:45:51,890
from Merced, California.

4752
02:45:52,290 --> 02:45:53,070
Handwritten note.

4753
02:45:53,630 --> 02:45:54,270
Dear Adam and Donna.

4754
02:45:54,430 --> 02:45:55,390
It says Dame Patricia.

4755
02:45:55,570 --> 02:45:58,110
Now, Worthington is the one, Dame Patricia Worthington

4756
02:45:58,110 --> 02:45:58,770
is in Florida.

4757
02:45:59,390 --> 02:46:00,110
Oh, I'm sorry.

4758
02:46:00,170 --> 02:46:01,270
This is just Dame Patricia.

4759
02:46:01,470 --> 02:46:03,090
I am so sorry.

4760
02:46:03,550 --> 02:46:04,490
Thank you for the correction.

4761
02:46:05,590 --> 02:46:07,650
And she has a birthday November 29th.

4762
02:46:07,690 --> 02:46:08,390
Is that on the list?

4763
02:46:08,530 --> 02:46:09,370
Can you check that for me?

4764
02:46:09,450 --> 02:46:10,050
Let me just see.

4765
02:46:10,650 --> 02:46:11,590
Is she on the list?

4766
02:46:11,590 --> 02:46:11,750
Yeah.

4767
02:46:12,470 --> 02:46:14,010
When Jay puts it on the note at

4768
02:46:14,010 --> 02:46:14,970
the top, it's on the list.

4769
02:46:14,970 --> 02:46:15,530
Yeah, it's there.

4770
02:46:15,610 --> 02:46:15,810
Okay.

4771
02:46:16,850 --> 02:46:19,630
Here's her note, which I can read, thanks

4772
02:46:19,630 --> 02:46:20,410
to my mom.

4773
02:46:20,850 --> 02:46:22,410
Dear John Adam, I have been a loyal

4774
02:46:22,410 --> 02:46:24,530
listener since the dark days of 2020.

4775
02:46:25,070 --> 02:46:29,590
Thank you for illuminating, thank you for illuminating,

4776
02:46:29,750 --> 02:46:31,890
for your illuminating commentaries.

4777
02:46:31,890 --> 02:46:34,650
Please wish my daughter, Emily Mitchell, a happy

4778
02:46:34,650 --> 02:46:36,450
birthday on November 29th.

4779
02:46:36,550 --> 02:46:40,930
Another follower of your show in Uriah, California.

4780
02:46:41,210 --> 02:46:41,710
Ukiah.

4781
02:46:41,970 --> 02:46:43,190
Ukiah, California.

4782
02:46:43,690 --> 02:46:46,150
Now, let's plug my son's business.

4783
02:46:46,450 --> 02:46:46,610
Okay.

4784
02:46:47,070 --> 02:46:51,410
Brian Lewis' surface painting and wallpapering featuring Italian

4785
02:46:51,410 --> 02:46:56,850
plastering and specialty finishes in Atascadero, San Luis

4786
02:46:56,850 --> 02:46:58,670
Obispo County, California.

4787
02:46:58,910 --> 02:46:59,550
San Luis.

4788
02:46:59,550 --> 02:47:01,710
Oh, I always thought it was San Luis.

4789
02:47:01,990 --> 02:47:02,170
Okay.

4790
02:47:02,290 --> 02:47:03,210
San Luis Obispo.

4791
02:47:03,830 --> 02:47:04,490
Text Brian.

4792
02:47:04,670 --> 02:47:05,590
Text him right now.

4793
02:47:06,750 --> 02:47:08,090
Everybody, text Brian.

4794
02:47:08,630 --> 02:47:09,850
It's all text Brian.

4795
02:47:11,810 --> 02:47:14,990
805-470-9917.

4796
02:47:15,570 --> 02:47:17,050
You can rewind that to hear it again.

4797
02:47:17,150 --> 02:47:19,370
So he knows you're a real person and

4798
02:47:19,370 --> 02:47:21,830
not Yelp or Google trying to sell some

4799
02:47:21,830 --> 02:47:23,010
advertising space.

4800
02:47:23,630 --> 02:47:26,090
Now he's going to get spammed by ITMs

4801
02:47:26,090 --> 02:47:28,290
from every rando that listens to the show.

4802
02:47:28,290 --> 02:47:30,450
Claim your no-agenda discount.

4803
02:47:31,130 --> 02:47:31,610
That's right.

4804
02:47:32,510 --> 02:47:34,310
May God bless you and keep you well.

4805
02:47:34,470 --> 02:47:37,210
Dame Patricia with practically perfect penmanship.

4806
02:47:37,390 --> 02:47:38,730
God bless you too, Dame Patricia.

4807
02:47:39,070 --> 02:47:40,010
Thank you very much.

4808
02:47:40,110 --> 02:47:41,930
I'm not that jacked on penmanship.

4809
02:47:41,950 --> 02:47:42,710
I loved it.

4810
02:47:42,910 --> 02:47:43,050
I loved it.

4811
02:47:43,050 --> 02:47:44,430
But I will say this.

4812
02:47:44,730 --> 02:47:46,910
Doing Italian plastering is a big deal.

4813
02:47:47,190 --> 02:47:47,470
Yes.

4814
02:47:48,070 --> 02:47:49,410
So this guy's probably really good.

4815
02:47:49,990 --> 02:47:50,290
All right.

4816
02:47:50,370 --> 02:47:50,770
Onward.

4817
02:47:51,290 --> 02:47:51,990
Linda Lupak.

4818
02:47:52,010 --> 02:47:53,470
And there she is in Lakewood, Colorado for

4819
02:47:53,470 --> 02:47:54,070
200 bucks.

4820
02:47:54,830 --> 02:47:55,470
Jobs Karma.

4821
02:47:55,610 --> 02:47:58,190
For a competitive edge with a resume that

4822
02:47:58,190 --> 02:48:01,210

That's ImageMakersInc with a K.

4825
02:48:07,330 --> 02:48:09,330
And work with Linda Lu, Duchess of Jobs

4826
02:48:09,330 --> 02:48:11,970
and writer of winning resumes.

4827
02:48:12,370 --> 02:48:15,790
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4828
02:48:15,970 --> 02:48:17,470
Let's vote for jobs.

4829
02:48:18,610 --> 02:48:19,450
Lupak Karma.

4830
02:48:21,330 --> 02:48:24,310
And I believe that concludes our executive and

4831
02:48:24,310 --> 02:48:28,730
associate executive producers for episode 1820, our Thanksgiving

4832
02:48:28,730 --> 02:48:30,610
special episode.

4833
02:48:30,770 --> 02:48:32,890
We're so happy that everyone supported us.

4834
02:48:32,950 --> 02:48:33,930
And I like that we were able to

4835
02:48:33,930 --> 02:48:36,550
take a little extra time to read some

4836
02:48:36,550 --> 02:48:37,770
of these handwritten notes.

4837
02:48:37,890 --> 02:48:39,830
It is highly appreciated, if only for John

4838
02:48:39,830 --> 02:48:40,130
and I.

4839
02:48:41,490 --> 02:48:43,230
Again, we'll thank the rest of our donors,

4840
02:48:43,350 --> 02:48:45,630
$50 and above, coming up pretty soon, because

4841
02:48:45,630 --> 02:48:46,850
I do have to get out of here

4842
02:48:46,850 --> 02:48:48,890
on time and we're running long thanks to

4843
02:48:48,890 --> 02:48:49,350
those notes.

4844
02:48:49,890 --> 02:48:51,970
So go to NoAgendaDonations.com.

4845
02:48:52,110 --> 02:48:53,310
It's value for value.

4846
02:48:53,430 --> 02:48:54,670
Whatever you get out of the show, stick

4847
02:48:54,670 --> 02:48:55,550
it right back in.

4848
02:48:56,310 --> 02:48:57,110
NoAgendaDonations.com.

4849
02:48:57,210 --> 02:49:00,290
Congrats to the executive and associate executive producers.

4850
02:49:00,510 --> 02:49:01,730
Our formula is this.

4851
02:49:02,530 --> 02:49:04,870
We go out, we hit people in the

4852
02:49:04,870 --> 02:49:05,070
mouth.

4853
02:49:15,830 --> 02:49:17,430
Shut up, Steve.

4854
02:49:22,590 --> 02:49:25,270
I have one presentation on the sex scandal

4855
02:49:25,270 --> 02:49:26,690
going on in the Army, which I think

4856
02:49:26,690 --> 02:49:27,490
is disgusting.

4857
02:49:28,030 --> 02:49:28,450
Sex scandal?

4858
02:49:28,450 --> 02:49:29,970
I have random clips.

4859
02:49:30,250 --> 02:49:33,550
This is an A-block type thing.

4860
02:49:33,870 --> 02:49:35,310
You left that for the D-block?

4861
02:49:37,030 --> 02:49:39,010
Yeah, well, I could have played it earlier,

4862
02:49:39,110 --> 02:49:41,790
but I think it was so much more

4863
02:49:41,790 --> 02:49:43,910
important that we discuss the...

4864
02:49:44,950 --> 02:49:45,650
The what?

4865
02:49:47,050 --> 02:49:49,230
The don't abandon the ship or whatever.

4866
02:49:49,430 --> 02:49:51,150
Yeah, yeah, the seditious six.

4867
02:49:51,270 --> 02:49:51,750
I got you.

4868
02:49:52,010 --> 02:49:52,310
All right.

4869
02:49:52,390 --> 02:49:53,570
Okay, so set us up.

4870
02:49:53,630 --> 02:49:54,310
What is this about?

4871
02:49:55,510 --> 02:49:58,070
Well, it sets itself up as self-explanatory,

4872
02:49:58,210 --> 02:49:59,730
but this isn't getting a lot of play.

4873
02:49:59,890 --> 02:50:03,410
I don't know why, but maybe it's because

4874
02:50:03,410 --> 02:50:04,450
everyone's on vacation.

4875
02:50:04,610 --> 02:50:05,490
They don't want to cover anything.

4876
02:50:05,830 --> 02:50:06,430
Don't want to work.

4877
02:50:06,590 --> 02:50:07,290
Don't want to work.

4878
02:50:07,650 --> 02:50:09,270
Nobody wants to work, and so here we

4879
02:50:09,270 --> 02:50:09,410
go.

4880
02:50:09,410 --> 02:50:11,490
So the PBS apparently does want to work,

4881
02:50:11,610 --> 02:50:13,290
and so they gave us this report as

4882
02:50:13,290 --> 02:50:13,870
dynamite.

4883
02:50:14,010 --> 02:50:15,830
This week, the U.S. Army has been

4884
02:50:15,830 --> 02:50:18,450
reckoning with a sexual abuse scandal that could

4885
02:50:18,450 --> 02:50:20,990
involve the largest number of allegations in its

4886
02:50:20,990 --> 02:50:21,330
history.

4887
02:50:21,770 --> 02:50:24,090
An Army doctor is accused of abusing women

4888
02:50:24,090 --> 02:50:25,790
who were under his care.

4889
02:50:26,270 --> 02:50:26,990
Here's Ana Navas.

4890
02:50:27,170 --> 02:50:29,530
The Army has sent out approximately 2,500

4891
02:50:29,530 --> 02:50:33,210
patient notification letters to women examined by one

4892
02:50:33,210 --> 02:50:34,330
doctor within its ranks.

4893
02:50:34,330 --> 02:50:34,910
Oh, man.

4894
02:50:34,910 --> 02:50:37,150
It's part of a massive investigation into cases

4895
02:50:37,150 --> 02:50:38,830
of alleged sexual abuse.

4896
02:50:39,390 --> 02:50:41,790
All patients of 47-year-old doctor and

4897
02:50:41,790 --> 02:50:43,470
Army Major Blaine McGraw.

4898
02:50:43,930 --> 02:50:46,050
He's an OBGYN at Fort Hood in Texas,

4899
02:50:46,230 --> 02:50:47,930
and before that, at an Army base in

4900
02:50:47,930 --> 02:50:48,310
Hawaii.

4901
02:50:48,910 --> 02:50:51,730
Approximately 80 women have filed a legal complaint

4902
02:50:51,730 --> 02:50:52,470
against him.

4903
02:50:52,890 --> 02:50:55,370
One case alleges that McGraw, quote, used his

4904
02:50:55,370 --> 02:50:58,990
position of trust to sexually exploit, manipulate, and

4905
02:50:58,990 --> 02:51:01,330
secretly record women under his care.

4906
02:51:01,330 --> 02:51:04,510
Joining us now is attorney Andrew Kobos, representing

4907
02:51:04,510 --> 02:51:07,050
70 alleged victims of Dr. McGraw.

4908
02:51:07,510 --> 02:51:09,450
Kobos is a West Point graduate who served

4909
02:51:09,450 --> 02:51:11,470
in the U.S. Army, including at Fort

4910
02:51:11,470 --> 02:51:11,710
Hood.

4911
02:51:12,030 --> 02:51:12,990
Andrew, welcome to the show.

4912
02:51:13,090 --> 02:51:13,990
Thanks for joining us.

4913
02:51:14,570 --> 02:51:14,970
Glad to be here.

4914
02:51:15,390 --> 02:51:17,830
So just start by telling us about these

4915
02:51:17,830 --> 02:51:18,910
women that you're representing.

4916
02:51:19,130 --> 02:51:19,730
Who are they?

4917
02:51:19,850 --> 02:51:20,690
Are they active duty?

4918
02:51:20,790 --> 02:51:21,950
Are they military spouses?

4919
02:51:22,450 --> 02:51:24,390
And what exactly are they alleging was done

4920
02:51:24,390 --> 02:51:25,350
to them by this doctor?

4921
02:51:25,590 --> 02:51:27,250
The majority of the women that we represent

4922
02:51:27,250 --> 02:51:30,510
are military spouses, and they span all four

4923
02:51:30,510 --> 02:51:34,230
branches of the military—Army, Air Force, Navy, and

4924
02:51:34,230 --> 02:51:34,490
Marine.

4925
02:51:34,910 --> 02:51:37,610
Now, this abuse happened both at Fort Hood

4926
02:51:37,610 --> 02:51:40,450
and in Hawaii at Tripler Army Medical Center.

4927
02:51:40,770 --> 02:51:43,650
And there were hundreds, if not thousands, of

4928
02:51:43,650 --> 02:51:47,090
women under Dr. McGraw's care, and he violated

4929
02:51:47,090 --> 02:51:48,710
them in multiple ways.

4930
02:51:48,850 --> 02:51:51,390
He took photographs and videos of them as

4931
02:51:51,390 --> 02:51:53,630
they were in their most vulnerable position in

4932
02:51:53,630 --> 02:51:54,390
his exam room.

4933
02:51:55,590 --> 02:51:58,590
He touched them in improper ways that were

4934
02:51:58,590 --> 02:51:59,690
medically unnecessary.

4935
02:52:00,670 --> 02:52:04,250
And on occasion, he induced birth without their

4936
02:52:04,250 --> 02:52:08,110
consent, without their knowledge, and without notification to

4937
02:52:08,110 --> 02:52:09,230
their family that they were going to give

4938
02:52:09,230 --> 02:52:09,490
birth.

4939
02:52:09,890 --> 02:52:11,950
And so this is, as I've been describing

4940
02:52:11,950 --> 02:52:15,310
it, one of the largest and most significant

4941
02:52:15,310 --> 02:52:17,090
sexual assault cases in the history of the

4942
02:52:17,090 --> 02:52:17,410
military.

4943
02:52:18,090 --> 02:52:18,970
Holy crap.

4944
02:52:20,390 --> 02:52:21,670
Yeah, you haven't even heard of it, have

4945
02:52:21,670 --> 02:52:21,770
you?

4946
02:52:21,830 --> 02:52:23,510
No, what kind of creep is this guy?

4947
02:52:23,510 --> 02:52:25,910
This is like the soccer coach.

4948
02:52:26,510 --> 02:52:27,670
No, the Olympic guy.

4949
02:52:28,070 --> 02:52:30,250
Yeah, whatever, like so many doctors.

4950
02:52:30,590 --> 02:52:32,790
I mean, sorry, doctors, but so it's— Yeah,

4951
02:52:32,810 --> 02:52:35,670
there are doctors out there that are up

4952
02:52:35,670 --> 02:52:36,250
to no good.

4953
02:52:36,350 --> 02:52:37,050
You know what it is?

4954
02:52:37,110 --> 02:52:38,870
It's because he's talking to his chatbot all

4955
02:52:38,870 --> 02:52:39,110
day.

4956
02:52:41,030 --> 02:52:42,290
All right, I'm going to just get this

4957
02:52:42,290 --> 02:52:42,570
wrapped.

4958
02:52:42,850 --> 02:52:44,730
In one of the complaints filed by Jane

4959
02:52:44,730 --> 02:52:47,490
Doe, obviously her identity is protected, she talked

4960
02:52:47,490 --> 02:52:50,110
about invasive breast and vaginal exams that were

4961
02:52:50,110 --> 02:52:52,970
unnecessary, not being given a medical gown to

4962
02:52:52,970 --> 02:52:55,430
wear during those examinations, and then, as you

4963
02:52:55,430 --> 02:52:58,610
mentioned, secretly being recorded on a phone that

4964
02:52:58,610 --> 02:53:00,610
Dr. McGraw kept in his jacket pocket.

4965
02:53:00,730 --> 02:53:02,890
How did your clients come to learn about

4966
02:53:02,890 --> 02:53:03,910
those photos and videos?

4967
02:53:04,370 --> 02:53:07,010
Fortunately, one of the women that we represent

4968
02:53:07,010 --> 02:53:09,050
had her husband in the examination room.

4969
02:53:09,190 --> 02:53:10,910
Now, this is not a common occurrence.

4970
02:53:10,970 --> 02:53:13,430
It was actually a rare occurrence for Dr.

4971
02:53:13,470 --> 02:53:15,770
McGraw to have anybody, to allow anybody in

4972
02:53:15,770 --> 02:53:18,050
the exam room while he was working on

4973
02:53:18,050 --> 02:53:18,610
these patients.

4974
02:53:18,610 --> 02:53:22,650
And the husband of his patient was behind

4975
02:53:22,650 --> 02:53:23,290
Dr. McGraw.

4976
02:53:23,590 --> 02:53:25,270
He leaned in while he was doing a

4977
02:53:25,270 --> 02:53:27,690
pelvic examination, and his phone in his lab

4978
02:53:27,690 --> 02:53:28,510
coat tipped forward.

4979
02:53:29,010 --> 02:53:31,350
The husband was able to visually see that

4980
02:53:31,350 --> 02:53:34,870
the phone was on record, and immediately he

4981
02:53:34,870 --> 02:53:39,530
was concerned about his wife, about her in

4982
02:53:39,530 --> 02:53:40,350
this position.

4983
02:53:40,490 --> 02:53:42,910
And so he tried notifying the chain of

4984
02:53:42,910 --> 02:53:43,210
command.

4985
02:53:43,350 --> 02:53:44,570
He called CID.

4986
02:53:44,870 --> 02:53:49,070
Fortunately, CID started an investigation, and he experienced

4987
02:53:49,070 --> 02:53:51,050
a lot of frustration trying to bring his

4988
02:53:51,050 --> 02:53:53,670
complaints and trying to bring awareness to the

4989
02:53:53,670 --> 02:53:57,650
military that this doctor was unlawfully and improperly

4990
02:53:57,650 --> 02:53:58,630
recording his patients.

4991
02:53:59,050 --> 02:54:01,630
And so, ultimately, CID got involved, an investigation

4992
02:54:01,630 --> 02:54:06,090
was undertaken, and they found large numbers of

4993
02:54:06,090 --> 02:54:08,130
videos and photographs on his phone.

4994
02:54:08,370 --> 02:54:11,090
CID, of course, is the Criminal Investigative Division

4995
02:54:11,090 --> 02:54:11,910
of the Army.

4996
02:54:12,010 --> 02:54:13,570
The Army did provide us with a statement,

4997
02:54:13,650 --> 02:54:14,750
which I want to read to you in

4998
02:54:14,750 --> 02:54:15,210
part here.

4999
02:54:15,210 --> 02:54:17,750
They said they're committed to supporting patients affected

5000
02:54:17,750 --> 02:54:18,430
by the allegations.

5001
02:54:18,730 --> 02:54:21,770
They've swiftly established a call center, assigned a

5002
02:54:21,770 --> 02:54:25,010
special victims council, are actively notifying patients, and

5003
02:54:25,010 --> 02:54:27,350
they say they've created a patient support line

5004
02:54:27,350 --> 02:54:27,730
as well.

5005
02:54:27,830 --> 02:54:30,670
They're encouraging people with information to come forward.

5006
02:54:30,730 --> 02:54:33,310
I'm hoping that we, in these next two

5007
02:54:33,310 --> 02:54:36,250
clips, we get to how many women he's

5008
02:54:36,250 --> 02:54:36,870
done this to.

5009
02:54:37,010 --> 02:54:39,370
Well, they did say 86 are on his

5010
02:54:39,370 --> 02:54:39,770
list.

5011
02:54:39,870 --> 02:54:40,250
Okay.

5012
02:54:40,250 --> 02:54:43,050
And over 1,200 women have been sent

5013
02:54:43,050 --> 02:54:45,250
letters, so we know it could be over

5014
02:54:45,250 --> 02:54:46,410
1,000 easily.

5015
02:54:47,270 --> 02:54:47,830
Oh, man.

5016
02:54:47,930 --> 02:54:50,190
And the thing about it is the next

5017
02:54:50,190 --> 02:54:52,410
clips are the part that are disgusting, which

5018
02:54:52,410 --> 02:54:54,270
is the women who had these issues, they

5019
02:54:54,270 --> 02:54:57,150
tell somebody about it right away, and they're,

5020
02:54:57,450 --> 02:54:58,230
eh, whatever.

5021
02:54:58,890 --> 02:55:01,190
And so nobody cares, nobody does anything until

5022
02:55:01,190 --> 02:55:06,210
the male that catches the guy, who's an

5023
02:55:06,210 --> 02:55:09,370
obvious idiot, says he's got the camera recording

5024
02:55:09,370 --> 02:55:13,250
as his wife is being examined, and he

5025
02:55:13,250 --> 02:55:14,930
catches this, and it starts, and he still

5026
02:55:14,930 --> 02:55:15,610
has to struggle.

5027
02:55:15,870 --> 02:55:17,710
The last clips will explain this.

5028
02:55:17,870 --> 02:55:20,650
But as you mentioned, Andrew, before Fort Hood,

5029
02:55:21,030 --> 02:55:22,890
Dr. McGraw was posted in Hawaii.

5030
02:55:23,070 --> 02:55:24,510
They tell us in a statement that they're

5031
02:55:24,510 --> 02:55:27,630
in the process of notifying Dr. McGraw's patients.

5032
02:55:28,070 --> 02:55:29,890
You told my colleague that you spoke to

5033
02:55:29,890 --> 02:55:32,310
nurses at that Hawaii medical center.

5034
02:55:32,430 --> 02:55:33,550
What did you hear from them?

5035
02:55:33,550 --> 02:55:35,410
When I spoke to the nurses at Tripler

5036
02:55:35,410 --> 02:55:37,390
Army Medical Center, what they said is that

5037
02:55:37,390 --> 02:55:40,990
it was common knowledge around Tripler that there

5038
02:55:40,990 --> 02:55:44,490
were allegations against Dr. McGraw of videotaping and

5039
02:55:44,490 --> 02:55:47,470
recording his patients, so much so that it

5040
02:55:47,470 --> 02:55:50,070
was a standing joke among the folks at

5041
02:55:50,070 --> 02:55:52,590
Tripler that Dr. McGraw always got the crazy

5042
02:55:52,590 --> 02:55:53,130
patients.

5043
02:55:53,970 --> 02:55:55,470
And that is what I've heard.

5044
02:55:55,970 --> 02:55:59,450
We are working to establish in greater detail

5045
02:55:59,450 --> 02:56:03,070
the investigation that was conducted over McGraw at

5046
02:56:03,070 --> 02:56:04,670
Tripler Medical Center.

5047
02:56:04,810 --> 02:56:07,030
We know that there was an investigation, but

5048
02:56:07,030 --> 02:56:08,430
so far we haven't heard from the Army.

5049
02:56:08,690 --> 02:56:10,410
And that's left a lot of people wondering,

5050
02:56:10,910 --> 02:56:12,050
how long did the Army know?

5051
02:56:12,490 --> 02:56:13,470
What did they know?

5052
02:56:13,650 --> 02:56:16,050
And why didn't they take proactive measures to

5053
02:56:16,050 --> 02:56:17,490
address these situations?

5054
02:56:17,770 --> 02:56:19,630
So you know that there was a complaint

5055
02:56:19,630 --> 02:56:21,710
at the Hawaii Medical Center before he was

5056
02:56:21,710 --> 02:56:22,770
transferred to Fort Hood.

5057
02:56:22,770 --> 02:56:24,630
I know some of your clients said they

5058
02:56:24,630 --> 02:56:26,970
complained about this doctor and those complaints went

5059
02:56:26,970 --> 02:56:27,470
nowhere.

5060
02:56:27,950 --> 02:56:29,550
Really, we have a couple of different issues

5061
02:56:29,550 --> 02:56:29,830
there.

5062
02:56:30,030 --> 02:56:32,350
One is that complaints were going unrecognized.

5063
02:56:33,190 --> 02:56:36,450
I have clients who, after visiting with McGraw,

5064
02:56:36,570 --> 02:56:40,210
stepped outside into the hospital and they talked

5065
02:56:40,210 --> 02:56:41,210
to the on-duty nurse.

5066
02:56:41,330 --> 02:56:43,090
They talked to the sergeant who was at

5067
02:56:43,090 --> 02:56:44,210
the desk in tears.

5068
02:56:44,830 --> 02:56:46,150
One of my clients tells me she was

5069
02:56:46,150 --> 02:56:47,790
in tears and she talked for 10 minutes

5070
02:56:47,790 --> 02:56:49,450
and she said, he violated me.

5071
02:56:49,450 --> 02:56:51,870
And she was given a telephone number and

5072
02:56:51,870 --> 02:56:53,130
said, I can't take a report.

5073
02:56:53,310 --> 02:56:54,010
Call this number.

5074
02:56:54,090 --> 02:56:56,050
And she called the number time after time

5075
02:56:56,050 --> 02:56:57,010
after time after time.

5076
02:56:57,110 --> 02:56:58,470
And she got hung up on.

5077
02:56:58,710 --> 02:57:00,070
She got put on hold.

5078
02:57:00,310 --> 02:57:02,790
She was unable to actually make the report.

5079
02:57:02,890 --> 02:57:04,770
And this is one of the common complaints.

5080
02:57:05,250 --> 02:57:07,370
Well, this is depressing for Thanksgiving.

5081
02:57:09,370 --> 02:57:11,110
I like to go out on a high

5082
02:57:11,110 --> 02:57:11,470
note.

5083
02:57:12,650 --> 02:57:15,030
So yes, and this is a classic example.

5084
02:57:15,030 --> 02:57:16,990
I've noticed this with other government agencies.

5085
02:57:17,130 --> 02:57:18,510
They give you a phone number.

5086
02:57:18,510 --> 02:57:20,490
There's nobody there at the other end.

5087
02:57:20,650 --> 02:57:22,870
They hang up or they go, oh, hold

5088
02:57:22,870 --> 02:57:23,850
on a second, click.

5089
02:57:25,010 --> 02:57:25,890
It's horrible.

5090
02:57:26,270 --> 02:57:28,430
And this is inexcusable.

5091
02:57:28,670 --> 02:57:30,470
And the thing that bothers me the most

5092
02:57:30,470 --> 02:57:33,290
is nobody will hang for this.

5093
02:57:34,790 --> 02:57:36,370
The doctor will get a slap on the

5094
02:57:36,370 --> 02:57:36,850
wrist.

5095
02:57:37,350 --> 02:57:39,750
Maybe he even goes to prison.

5096
02:57:39,850 --> 02:57:41,850
But all the other people are responsible.

5097
02:57:42,250 --> 02:57:44,050
The people who didn't take the reports, the

5098
02:57:44,050 --> 02:57:46,230
people who didn't take it seriously, the phony

5099
02:57:46,230 --> 02:57:48,330
baloney phone number you're supposed to call and

5100
02:57:48,330 --> 02:57:49,070
nobody answers.

5101
02:57:49,510 --> 02:57:56,250
Nobody will get any reprimands or anything, which

5102
02:57:56,250 --> 02:58:00,210
is what this stuff continues to happen because

5103
02:58:00,210 --> 02:58:04,230
of that, just allowing people to slide.

5104
02:58:04,830 --> 02:58:06,410
I realize there are a lot of questions

5105
02:58:06,410 --> 02:58:07,750
still unanswered here, Andrew.

5106
02:58:07,850 --> 02:58:09,410
But what does justice look like?

5107
02:58:09,490 --> 02:58:11,610
What's the accountability your clients are seeking?

5108
02:58:11,610 --> 02:58:16,090
There are multiple ways that justice should occur

5109
02:58:16,090 --> 02:58:18,570
and accountability should occur in this situation.

5110
02:58:18,910 --> 02:58:21,770
The first and most obvious way is to

5111
02:58:21,770 --> 02:58:24,370
hold the perpetrator responsible for his actions.

5112
02:58:25,030 --> 02:58:27,650
But McGraw is also accountable to my clients

5113
02:58:27,650 --> 02:58:28,830
who he victimized.

5114
02:58:29,590 --> 02:58:31,870
But more than that, the Army is accountable,

5115
02:58:32,090 --> 02:58:34,790
and they should be held responsible for what

5116
02:58:34,790 --> 02:58:36,790
they did not do in this situation.

5117
02:58:36,790 --> 02:58:39,550
My clients are ultimately filing a federal tort

5118
02:58:39,550 --> 02:58:41,890
claims act lawsuit against the Army, and they're

5119
02:58:41,890 --> 02:58:44,090
seeking restitution for the damages and the harms

5120
02:58:44,090 --> 02:58:46,510
that they suffered at the hands of an

5121
02:58:46,510 --> 02:58:49,130
Army employee who should have been removed from

5122
02:58:49,130 --> 02:58:49,710
that position.

5123
02:58:50,150 --> 02:58:52,790
And the unfortunate thing is that this is

5124
02:58:52,790 --> 02:58:55,290
a pattern that happens in the Army and

5125
02:58:55,290 --> 02:58:57,470
quite frankly happens in all of the military

5126
02:58:57,470 --> 02:58:58,050
services.

5127
02:58:58,610 --> 02:59:00,150
And if you just want to go back

5128
02:59:00,150 --> 02:59:02,790
to the Vanessa Guillen incident in 2020 and

5129
02:59:02,790 --> 02:59:04,870
look at what the fallout was from that

5130
02:59:04,870 --> 02:59:08,990
incident, a 272-page report addressing the shortcomings

5131
02:59:08,990 --> 02:59:09,530
of the Army.

5132
02:59:09,830 --> 02:59:12,390
And it happens again and again and again.

5133
02:59:12,830 --> 02:59:14,730
And I think that that is what accountability

5134
02:59:14,730 --> 02:59:15,390
looks like.

5135
02:59:15,470 --> 02:59:18,190
It looks like reforming the system, not just

5136
02:59:18,190 --> 02:59:20,630
paying lip service, but actually going in and

5137
02:59:20,630 --> 02:59:22,750
figuring out how do we address the problem

5138
02:59:22,750 --> 02:59:24,170
of sexual assault in the military.

5139
02:59:24,450 --> 02:59:26,570
And that is a good starting point to

5140
02:59:26,570 --> 02:59:29,670
address the problems that these victims faced and

5141
02:59:29,670 --> 02:59:31,150
what accountability looks like in the Army.

5142
02:59:32,530 --> 02:59:34,890
Well, yeah, and we also go to look

5143
02:59:34,890 --> 02:59:36,530
at James Comer.

5144
02:59:36,630 --> 02:59:39,630
The whole thing is the Republicans, it's everybody,

5145
02:59:39,790 --> 02:59:40,910
it's a bureaucracy.

5146
02:59:41,350 --> 02:59:42,810
There's no accountability.

5147
02:59:43,210 --> 02:59:45,510
Nobody ever gets reprimanded or punished.

5148
02:59:45,730 --> 02:59:47,590
It just continues on.

5149
02:59:47,690 --> 02:59:49,070
And who pays the bill for this?

5150
02:59:49,470 --> 02:59:50,270
The taxpayers.

5151
02:59:50,450 --> 02:59:53,430
You're paying for these issues because they're going

5152
02:59:53,430 --> 02:59:54,110
to get sued.

5153
02:59:54,210 --> 02:59:55,690
The Army's going to have to pay a

5154
02:59:55,690 --> 02:59:58,670
big fine, and the military budget has to

5155
02:59:58,670 --> 02:59:59,150
go up.

5156
02:59:59,150 --> 03:00:01,070
Here's what I recommend, everybody.

5157
03:00:01,810 --> 03:00:03,510
Call the suits.com.

5158
03:00:04,250 --> 03:00:06,290
Call a guy who knows the ropes.

5159
03:00:06,750 --> 03:00:08,330
Rob the constitutional lawyer.

5160
03:00:08,790 --> 03:00:09,950
He'll get you millions.

5161
03:00:14,090 --> 03:00:15,630
Yeah, well, you can do that if you

5162
03:00:15,630 --> 03:00:15,910
want.

5163
03:00:16,750 --> 03:00:18,510
That was completely different.

5164
03:00:18,510 --> 03:00:20,210
It's still going to cost the taxpayers money.

5165
03:00:20,290 --> 03:00:20,990
Yeah, okay.

5166
03:00:21,170 --> 03:00:23,410
Well, you could have done two clips, honestly.

5167
03:00:24,630 --> 03:00:25,730
I thought it was good.

5168
03:00:25,730 --> 03:00:26,710
Eight minutes.

5169
03:00:26,710 --> 03:00:27,550
There you go again.

5170
03:00:27,570 --> 03:00:28,690
Eight minutes of that.

5171
03:00:29,190 --> 03:00:30,670
You would have said the same thing if

5172
03:00:30,670 --> 03:00:31,110
I did it.

5173
03:00:31,110 --> 03:00:32,590
You would have said, yeah, it was okay.

5174
03:00:33,350 --> 03:00:35,990
But I would have after the show.

5175
03:00:36,050 --> 03:00:36,290
Oh.

5176
03:00:39,890 --> 03:00:41,750
All right, I'll end this on a high

5177
03:00:41,750 --> 03:00:42,090
note.

5178
03:00:42,190 --> 03:00:42,410
Ready?

5179
03:00:44,950 --> 03:00:47,610
This morning, Campbell's Soup is denying claims about

5180
03:00:47,610 --> 03:00:50,030
its products, allegedly made by an executive in

5181
03:00:50,030 --> 03:00:51,210
a recorded conversation.

5182
03:00:51,510 --> 03:00:53,390
The person in the recording is also heard

5183
03:00:53,390 --> 03:00:56,810
belittling Campbell's customers during an expletive-filled rant.

5184
03:00:57,010 --> 03:00:58,630
We have **** that's for four people.

5185
03:00:59,290 --> 03:01:00,430
Who buys our ****?

5186
03:01:01,210 --> 03:01:04,090
This is unlistenable, this little bit, but I

5187
03:01:04,090 --> 03:01:04,650
left it in.

5188
03:01:04,690 --> 03:01:06,890
Because he's basically saying, I don't eat that

5189
03:01:06,890 --> 03:01:07,190
crap.

5190
03:01:07,290 --> 03:01:08,550
Why does anyone buy that crap?

5191
03:01:08,670 --> 03:01:11,010
I don't eat our bioengineered chicken.

5192
03:01:11,030 --> 03:01:12,630
He's an executive, and he's also talking about

5193
03:01:12,630 --> 03:01:13,810
the thing, I hope you have it in

5194
03:01:13,810 --> 03:01:19,830
there, is the 3D-printed chicken is in

5195
03:01:19,830 --> 03:01:20,630
the chicken noodle soup.

5196
03:01:20,890 --> 03:01:21,910
Yeah, that's what he says.

5197
03:01:22,430 --> 03:01:24,610
I won't eat 3D-printed chicken.

5198
03:01:24,610 --> 03:01:26,970
It's so healthy.

5199
03:01:27,190 --> 03:01:28,410
Now that I know what the **** it

5200
03:01:28,410 --> 03:01:28,650
is.

5201
03:01:29,050 --> 03:01:31,050
It's bioengineered meat.

5202
03:01:31,410 --> 03:01:33,190
I don't want to eat a **** piece

5203
03:01:33,190 --> 03:01:34,810
of chicken that came from a 3D printer.

5204
03:01:34,910 --> 03:01:37,450
The recording is allegedly from a conversation that's

5205
03:01:37,450 --> 03:01:39,330
now part of a lawsuit filed by Robert

5206
03:01:39,330 --> 03:01:42,390
Garza, a cybersecurity analyst for Campbell's, who claims

5207
03:01:42,390 --> 03:01:44,990
he was fired after reporting the alleged remarks,

5208
03:01:45,130 --> 03:01:47,610
which he says also included racist comments about

5209
03:01:47,610 --> 03:01:48,670
company employees.

5210
03:01:48,990 --> 03:01:51,510
Garza claims Campbell executive Martin Bali made those

5211
03:01:51,510 --> 03:01:53,750
comments after the two met to discuss Garza's

5212
03:01:53,750 --> 03:01:54,130
salary.

5213
03:01:54,550 --> 03:01:56,890
In a statement, Garza's attorney saying, This situation

5214
03:01:56,890 --> 03:01:58,430
has been very hard on Robert.

5215
03:01:58,650 --> 03:02:00,390
He thought Campbell's would be thankful that he

5216
03:02:00,390 --> 03:02:03,030
reported Martin's behavior, but instead, he was abruptly

5217
03:02:03,030 --> 03:02:03,590
fired.

5218
03:02:03,850 --> 03:02:05,950
Campbell's responding, saying, If the comments were in

5219
03:02:05,950 --> 03:02:07,330
fact made, they are unacceptable.

5220
03:02:07,810 --> 03:02:09,370
They do not reflect our values and the

5221
03:02:09,370 --> 03:02:10,350
culture of our company.

5222
03:02:10,610 --> 03:02:12,370
And going on to say, The comments heard

5223
03:02:12,370 --> 03:02:14,050
on the recording about our food are not

5224
03:02:14,050 --> 03:02:16,310
only inaccurate, they are patently absurd.

5225
03:02:16,830 --> 03:02:19,390
Nothing melts away the cold like a delicious

5226
03:02:19,390 --> 03:02:21,450
hot bowl of Campbell's soup.

5227
03:02:21,450 --> 03:02:23,750
Campbell's saying, The chicken meat used in our

5228
03:02:23,750 --> 03:02:26,750
soups comes from long-trusted USDA-approved U

5229
03:02:26,750 --> 03:02:29,110
.S. suppliers and meets our high-quality standards.

5230
03:02:29,530 --> 03:02:31,630
And the company noting, Bali worked in IT

5231
03:02:31,630 --> 03:02:33,730
and had nothing to do with food production.

5232
03:02:34,110 --> 03:02:36,450
Bali is on leave pending a company investigation.

5233
03:02:36,870 --> 03:02:38,790
In the meantime, the attorney general in Florida,

5234
03:02:39,030 --> 03:02:40,970
a state that bans lab-grown meat, says

5235
03:02:40,970 --> 03:02:43,410
his office is now investigating Campbell's products.

5236
03:02:43,710 --> 03:02:45,850
I guarantee you it's lab-grown meat.

5237
03:02:47,150 --> 03:02:48,110
You know it.

5238
03:02:48,290 --> 03:02:50,270
Oh, it's USDA-approved products.

5239
03:02:50,270 --> 03:02:51,030
Oh, okay.

5240
03:02:51,830 --> 03:02:54,070
Who knows what's in there if it's USDA

5241
03:02:54,070 --> 03:02:54,810
-approved?

5242
03:02:56,590 --> 03:02:58,750
It sounds believable.

5243
03:02:58,950 --> 03:03:01,230
How is this an upbeat note?

5244
03:03:01,910 --> 03:03:03,990
Well, because nobody in their right mind eats

5245
03:03:03,990 --> 03:03:04,770
Campbell's soup.

5246
03:03:05,270 --> 03:03:06,370
Yeah, but that's not upbeat.

5247
03:03:06,790 --> 03:03:08,370
You're slamming the company.

5248
03:03:08,950 --> 03:03:10,510
And it's just a negative story.

5249
03:03:11,010 --> 03:03:12,530
Dude, I thought you'd have something funny.

5250
03:03:12,730 --> 03:03:14,290
Well, do a talk clip then.

5251
03:03:15,090 --> 03:03:17,210
Oh, no, the TikTok clip's not funny either.

5252
03:03:18,490 --> 03:03:20,450
I do have something that's got to be

5253
03:03:20,450 --> 03:03:21,230
kind of funny.

5254
03:03:22,670 --> 03:03:23,630
Well, oh.

5255
03:03:24,650 --> 03:03:25,970
I don't want to sound like you.

5256
03:03:27,770 --> 03:03:28,890
No, it's more like.

5257
03:03:29,450 --> 03:03:30,530
Well, let's do this.

5258
03:03:30,610 --> 03:03:33,030
This is, let's play the weather report because

5259
03:03:33,030 --> 03:03:35,130
everyone's traveling right now and there's a Thanksgiving

5260
03:03:35,130 --> 03:03:36,690
cold blast.

5261
03:03:36,910 --> 03:03:38,270
Okay, that'll do it.

5262
03:03:38,350 --> 03:03:40,830
On this day before Thanksgiving, a major winter

5263
03:03:40,830 --> 03:03:43,270
storm and a plunge in temperatures is wreaking

5264
03:03:43,270 --> 03:03:45,170
havoc with many travelers' schedules.

5265
03:03:45,170 --> 03:03:47,730
Flight delays are piling up, and as John

5266
03:03:47,730 --> 03:03:50,550
Yang reports, temperatures will drop to 20 degrees

5267
03:03:50,550 --> 03:03:52,570
below normal in much of the central and

5268
03:03:52,570 --> 03:03:53,710
eastern parts of the country.

5269
03:03:53,870 --> 03:03:55,490
Climate change is real.

5270
03:03:56,270 --> 03:03:58,090
I'm going to show my support by donating

5271
03:03:58,090 --> 03:03:58,990
to No Agenda.

5272
03:03:59,130 --> 03:04:01,050
Imagine all the people who could do that.

5273
03:04:01,250 --> 03:04:02,270
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

5274
03:04:03,430 --> 03:04:06,290
Yeah, on No Agenda.

5275
03:04:07,590 --> 03:04:08,970
In the morning.

5276
03:04:09,650 --> 03:04:12,050
Yes, we're our segues, and we have a

5277
03:04:12,050 --> 03:04:13,590
few people to thank over $50.

5278
03:04:13,590 --> 03:04:15,730
Not as many as I thought, but quite

5279
03:04:15,730 --> 03:04:17,570
a few, and Adam will read them off

5280
03:04:17,570 --> 03:04:18,330
one at a time.

5281
03:04:18,610 --> 03:04:20,970
Talia Dupree is in McKinney, Texas, not too

5282
03:04:20,970 --> 03:04:23,750
far from here, $150, and she is also

5283
03:04:23,750 --> 03:04:25,470
asking to be on the birthday list.

5284
03:04:26,410 --> 03:04:28,170
Is she on the birthday list?

5285
03:04:29,050 --> 03:04:30,150
Is a good question.

5286
03:04:31,030 --> 03:04:32,470
No, she's not.

5287
03:04:34,270 --> 03:04:35,310
Jay, Talia.

5288
03:04:36,250 --> 03:04:37,910
Talia, what's her last name?

5289
03:04:39,030 --> 03:04:40,070
Dupree, 42.

5290
03:04:41,730 --> 03:04:46,330

5291
03:04:46,370 --> 03:04:48,530
We got you, just in time.

Dame Rita, Sparks, Nevada, 133.33. And she

5293
03:04:54,350 --> 03:04:55,810
did add a little note, which I will

5294
03:04:55,810 --> 03:04:57,230
share because she's always donating.

5295
03:04:57,390 --> 03:05:00,010
I've witnessed several young adults buying Costco's ready

5296
03:05:00,010 --> 03:05:02,150
-made mac and cheese for their potluck Thanksgiving

5297
03:05:02,150 --> 03:05:03,030
gathering.

5298
03:05:03,830 --> 03:05:05,830
The show's mac and cheese jingle came to

5299
03:05:05,830 --> 03:05:06,050
mind.

5300
03:05:06,130 --> 03:05:08,250
Yes, we've been predicting this for 18 years.

5301
03:05:08,830 --> 03:05:11,270

tip of the day for the knives or

5324
03:06:01,830 --> 03:06:03,490
I'll be left without a Christmas gift.

5325
03:06:04,230 --> 03:06:04,950
That's a hint.

5326
03:06:04,950 --> 03:06:06,630

Yeah, but she's not turning 27.

5388
03:08:43,510 --> 03:08:44,270
Did I say that?

03:08:44,790 --> 03:08:45,130
Yeah.

I don't know if she wants me to

5395
03:08:55,150 --> 03:08:55,390
say.

5396
03:08:55,530 --> 03:08:55,770

Alan Huntcraft turns 50 on the 29th.

03:09:07,830 --> 03:09:10,150
Dave Patricia, happy birthday to her daughter, Emily

5402
03:09:10,150 --> 03:09:10,970
Mitchell.

5403
03:09:11,270 --> 03:09:12,970
She celebrates on the 29th.

5404
03:09:13,090 --> 03:09:16,070
And Justin Under the Wire, Joss Palmer, celebrating

5405

And Talia Dupree turns 42 tomorrow as well.

5407
03:09:19,950 --> 03:09:21,730
Happy birthday from everybody here at the best

5408
03:09:21,730 --> 03:09:23,050
podcast in the universe.

5409
03:09:23,090 --> 03:09:24,730
It's your birthday now.

5410
03:09:24,730 --> 03:09:26,470
One, two, three.

5411
03:09:28,850 --> 03:09:32,090
Recipients of the official No Agenda Peace Prize.

5412
03:09:33,090 --> 03:09:35,850
We are very proud to hand these out

5413
03:09:35,850 --> 03:09:38,430
to the following well-deserved recipients.

5414
03:09:39,910 --> 03:09:42,350
Of course, Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch in Lower

5415
03:09:42,350 --> 03:09:43,030
Slobovia.

5416
03:09:43,210 --> 03:09:44,970
No idea where to send your Peace Prize,

5417
03:09:45,090 --> 03:09:46,370
but when you're ready for it, we've got

5418
03:09:46,370 --> 03:09:46,810
it for you.

5419
03:09:46,890 --> 03:09:49,530
Travis Guidry and Craig Fillion.

5420
03:09:50,390 --> 03:09:53,550
That's thanks to their $1,000 in support.

5421
03:09:53,550 --> 03:09:57,070
You automatically qualify and are awarded with the

5422
03:09:57,070 --> 03:09:59,310
official No Agenda Peace Prize.

5423
03:09:59,830 --> 03:10:01,470
We got a dame, and we have a

5424
03:10:01,470 --> 03:10:02,930
knight, and I have my blade.

5425
03:10:03,130 --> 03:10:03,970
And where's your sword?

5426
03:10:04,690 --> 03:10:06,130
Here you go, the regular one.

5427
03:10:07,290 --> 03:10:10,150
You can use that to carve the turkey.

5428
03:10:11,970 --> 03:10:14,210
Janine and Alexander, hop up here on the

5429
03:10:14,210 --> 03:10:14,490
stage.

5430
03:10:14,570 --> 03:10:16,530
Both of you have supported the show, the

5431
03:10:16,530 --> 03:10:17,750
No Agenda Show, in the amount of $1

5432
03:10:17,750 --> 03:10:18,610
,000 or more.

5433
03:10:18,610 --> 03:10:20,590
That makes you qualified for me to pronounce

5434
03:10:20,590 --> 03:10:24,050
K.B. as Dame Janine of Beat Them

5435
03:10:24,050 --> 03:10:25,810
Until Morale Improves.

5436
03:10:26,310 --> 03:10:28,210
And the Norwegian Knight.

5437
03:10:29,110 --> 03:10:30,950
Welcome to the roundtable, both of you.

5438
03:10:31,130 --> 03:10:33,390
We have the requisite hookers and blow, rentboys

5439
03:10:33,390 --> 03:10:34,090
and chardonnay.

5440
03:10:34,230 --> 03:10:36,790
We've got pepperoni rolls and pale ales here,

5441
03:10:36,930 --> 03:10:37,670
redheads and ryes.

5442
03:10:38,290 --> 03:10:40,030
Ruminesque, women and rosé, along with the hookers

5443
03:10:40,030 --> 03:10:41,750
and blow, rentboys and chardonnay, of course.

5444
03:10:41,870 --> 03:10:43,730
Von Hintzen, bourbon, sparkling cider, and esports.

5445
03:10:44,250 --> 03:10:46,290
Ginger ale and gerbils, fresh milk and Pabloman,

5446
03:10:46,370 --> 03:10:47,590
as always, at the roundtable.

5447
03:10:47,590 --> 03:10:50,090
We've got some mutton and some mead just

5448
03:10:50,090 --> 03:10:50,850
for you.

5449
03:10:51,510 --> 03:10:52,030
Welcome.

5450
03:10:52,190 --> 03:10:53,630
Go to NoAgendaRings.com.

5451
03:10:53,730 --> 03:10:56,530
Same for our No Agenda Peace Prize recipients.

5452
03:10:57,070 --> 03:10:58,490
Let us know where to send it to.

5453
03:10:58,750 --> 03:11:00,530
And for the Knight and for the Dame,

5454
03:11:00,970 --> 03:11:02,690
please give us your ring size.

5455
03:11:02,830 --> 03:11:05,870
There's a ring size guide on the website.

5456
03:11:06,170 --> 03:11:07,910
And with that, you'll get a certificate of

5457
03:11:07,910 --> 03:11:08,370
authenticity.

5458
03:11:08,670 --> 03:11:10,950
And, of course, some wax to seal your

5459
03:11:10,950 --> 03:11:13,870
ultra-important correspondence with your brand-new Signet

5460
03:11:13,870 --> 03:11:15,390
Knight or Dame ring.

5461
03:11:16,470 --> 03:11:19,730
No Agenda Meetups!

5462
03:11:22,390 --> 03:11:24,810
Well, we do have that one meetup that

5463
03:11:24,810 --> 03:11:25,790
took place today.

5464
03:11:25,910 --> 03:11:28,090
I'm sure it's over, the huffing and puffing

5465
03:11:28,090 --> 03:11:28,590
for stuff.

5466
03:11:28,690 --> 03:11:30,390
And so this was a turkey trot two

5467
03:11:30,390 --> 03:11:31,530
-mile walk.

5468
03:11:31,810 --> 03:11:33,510
And I hope they're done by now.

5469
03:11:33,570 --> 03:11:34,990
This started at 11 in the morning in

5470
03:11:34,990 --> 03:11:35,510
Spokane.

5471
03:11:36,090 --> 03:11:37,430
Let us know how that went.

5472
03:11:37,590 --> 03:11:38,550
Send us in a meetup report.

5473
03:11:38,710 --> 03:11:42,170
On Saturday, the Wageningen Food Hub VogueFest.

5474
03:11:42,170 --> 03:11:45,790
You'll owe nothing and love this bitterball meetup

5475
03:11:45,790 --> 03:11:51,110
in the Netherlands at Wageningen University in Gelderland.

5476
03:11:51,950 --> 03:11:53,450
And that will be hosted by soon-to

5477
03:11:53,450 --> 03:11:55,930
-be Sir Jaap of the Frankenfoods Valley and

5478
03:11:55,930 --> 03:11:58,070
Sir Doris of the Wild Boar Mountains.

5479
03:11:58,270 --> 03:12:00,030
And Sir Berend Goescadaver.

5480
03:12:00,370 --> 03:12:02,650
Please RSVP, because they're expecting you to come.

5481
03:12:03,750 --> 03:12:04,250
December.

5482
03:12:04,470 --> 03:12:05,630
We've got Galeta, California.

5483
03:12:05,770 --> 03:12:06,650
Raleigh, North Carolina.

5484
03:12:06,810 --> 03:12:07,850
Toronto and Canada.

5485
03:12:08,010 --> 03:12:08,990
Rochester, Minnesota.

5486
03:12:09,170 --> 03:12:10,210
Eagle Eye, Idaho.

5487
03:12:10,550 --> 03:12:11,510
Indianapolis, Indiana.

5488
03:12:11,510 --> 03:12:12,690
Charlotte, North Carolina.

5489
03:12:12,830 --> 03:12:13,830
Clovis, California.

5490
03:12:14,030 --> 03:12:15,230
Santa Rosa, California.

5491
03:12:15,570 --> 03:12:16,970
And Los Altos, California.

5492
03:12:17,390 --> 03:12:19,290
How is it possible so many people in

5493
03:12:19,290 --> 03:12:21,010
California are listening to this show?

5494
03:12:21,450 --> 03:12:23,650
When you have those meetups, send the report

5495
03:12:23,650 --> 03:12:24,030
to us.

5496
03:12:24,110 --> 03:12:25,050
Include your server.

5497
03:12:25,450 --> 03:12:26,730
And if you'd like to find out more

5498
03:12:26,730 --> 03:12:29,350
about any of the meetups, go to noagendameetups

5499
03:12:29,350 --> 03:12:29,810
.com.

5500
03:12:29,870 --> 03:12:32,010
If you can't find one near you, start

5501
03:12:32,010 --> 03:12:32,630
one yourself.

5502
03:12:32,810 --> 03:12:34,710
Get it on noagendameetups.com.

5503
03:12:34,710 --> 03:12:37,530
Sometimes you want to go hang out with

5504
03:12:37,530 --> 03:12:40,230
all the nights and days.

5505
03:12:41,230 --> 03:12:43,910
You want to be where you won't be.

5506
03:12:44,090 --> 03:12:45,970
Triggered or hella lame.

5507
03:12:46,670 --> 03:12:49,750
You want to be where everybody feels the

5508
03:12:49,750 --> 03:12:51,090
same.

5509
03:12:52,170 --> 03:12:53,370
It's like a bomb.

5510
03:12:58,060 --> 03:13:00,520
So, before we get to John's tip of

5511
03:13:00,520 --> 03:13:02,200
the day, which of course is a great

5512
03:13:02,200 --> 03:13:03,620
way to end any show.

5513
03:13:03,760 --> 03:13:05,460
It will not be the Knives Tip today.

5514
03:13:05,460 --> 03:13:07,720
I'm reliably informed, but that is coming.

5515
03:13:07,860 --> 03:13:09,280
It may be a Thanksgiving tip.

5516
03:13:09,820 --> 03:13:10,900
We always like to...

5517
03:13:10,900 --> 03:13:11,180
It's not?

5518
03:13:12,400 --> 03:13:13,080
Not really.

5519
03:13:13,240 --> 03:13:15,400
We always like to...

5520
03:13:15,400 --> 03:13:15,940
Well, maybe.

5521
03:13:16,060 --> 03:13:17,720
Do a little test here of what we

5522
03:13:17,720 --> 03:13:18,760
will end the show with.

5523
03:13:18,880 --> 03:13:19,420
I'm not sure...

5524
03:13:19,420 --> 03:13:20,420
Well, before you do that, I have to

5525
03:13:20,420 --> 03:13:21,660
correct an error.

5526
03:13:22,880 --> 03:13:25,000
So, I don't get letters or notes, and

5527
03:13:25,000 --> 03:13:26,140
it should have been done by the chat

5528
03:13:26,140 --> 03:13:26,380
room.

5529
03:13:27,200 --> 03:13:30,540
ES is the top-level domain for Spain.

5530
03:13:30,720 --> 03:13:34,480
So, our Norwegian Knight has a Spanish ISP.

5531
03:13:35,260 --> 03:13:36,960
EE is for Estonia.

5532
03:13:37,440 --> 03:13:38,260
Oh, okay.

5533
03:13:38,840 --> 03:13:40,700
Now, the trolls are doing nothing today.

5534
03:13:41,360 --> 03:13:42,260
No, they're not helping.

5535
03:13:42,500 --> 03:13:43,120
No, they...

5536
03:13:43,120 --> 03:13:45,340
We try to make these corrections during the

5537
03:13:45,340 --> 03:13:47,160
show so we don't get notes from people.

5538
03:13:47,380 --> 03:13:47,480
Notes.

5539
03:13:47,480 --> 03:13:49,820
You guys don't know what you're talking about.

5540
03:13:51,660 --> 03:13:53,500
All right, here's my end-of-show ISO

5541
03:13:53,500 --> 03:13:54,260
candidates.

5542
03:13:54,440 --> 03:13:55,840
Thank you for that!

5543
03:13:57,760 --> 03:13:58,840
Oh, my God.

5544
03:13:59,060 --> 03:14:00,440
Yeah, or this one.

5545
03:14:00,580 --> 03:14:01,820
Flu season is back open.

5546
03:14:02,040 --> 03:14:02,700
Woo-hoo!

5547
03:14:04,840 --> 03:14:05,960
And the final...

5548
03:14:05,960 --> 03:14:06,700
I went to the well.

5549
03:14:06,820 --> 03:14:08,920
This is so good!

5550
03:14:11,720 --> 03:14:12,520
Top that!

5551
03:14:13,120 --> 03:14:14,560
Actually, I do like that one a bit.

5552
03:14:14,640 --> 03:14:15,380
I do have two...

5553
03:14:15,380 --> 03:14:17,140
Both of mine are better.

5554
03:14:17,760 --> 03:14:18,020
Oh.

5555
03:14:19,920 --> 03:14:20,980
So, what are they called?

5556
03:14:21,040 --> 03:14:22,040
I don't have them in front of me.

5557
03:14:22,220 --> 03:14:24,140
Stick and Dadgum.

5558
03:14:24,800 --> 03:14:25,600
Yeah, Dadgum.

5559
03:14:25,700 --> 03:14:26,600
Play Dadgum.

5560
03:14:27,060 --> 03:14:27,580
Dadgum it.

5561
03:14:27,800 --> 03:14:29,760
They hit it out of the park again.

5562
03:14:31,520 --> 03:14:33,100
I know that guy from somewhere.

5563
03:14:33,200 --> 03:14:33,720
I'm not sure.

5564
03:14:33,720 --> 03:14:35,000
He's right to the point.

5565
03:14:35,400 --> 03:14:35,520
Yeah.

5566
03:14:36,100 --> 03:14:37,180
Stick is six seconds.

5567
03:14:37,180 --> 03:14:38,980
And then this one's probably too long, but

5568
03:14:38,980 --> 03:14:39,600
I like it.

5569
03:14:39,700 --> 03:14:42,280
The show could not be any better if

5570
03:14:42,280 --> 03:14:44,380
it was put on a stick and deep

5571
03:14:44,380 --> 03:14:45,240
-fat fried.

5572
03:14:45,800 --> 03:14:46,860
No, no.

5573
03:14:47,060 --> 03:14:49,100
You're doing too much.

5574
03:14:49,420 --> 03:14:49,760
You gotta...

5575
03:14:50,360 --> 03:14:50,600
No.

5576
03:14:51,420 --> 03:14:52,440
I think it's between...

5577
03:14:52,440 --> 03:14:53,100
Dadgum it.

5578
03:14:53,320 --> 03:14:55,300
They hit it out of the park again.

5579
03:14:55,420 --> 03:14:55,940
And this one.

5580
03:14:55,980 --> 03:14:58,080
This is so good!

5581
03:15:00,280 --> 03:15:03,160
Well, since I'm winning all the time...

5582
03:15:03,160 --> 03:15:05,200
Why don't you use the Alex Jones one?

5583
03:15:05,360 --> 03:15:06,360
Okay, we'll do that.

5584
03:15:06,440 --> 03:15:08,900
And now, before we go, it is time

5585
03:15:08,900 --> 03:15:09,980
for John's Tip of the Day.

5586
03:15:18,940 --> 03:15:20,880
I'm going back to the well, and I

5587
03:15:20,880 --> 03:15:23,740
realize I never pushed this one hot sauce,

5588
03:15:24,400 --> 03:15:25,820
which would be good on turkey, I will

5589
03:15:25,820 --> 03:15:26,140
say.

5590
03:15:27,120 --> 03:15:29,500
And I use it all the time.

5591
03:15:29,500 --> 03:15:33,800
I have a longstanding relationship with different hot

5592
03:15:33,800 --> 03:15:34,160
sauces.

5593
03:15:34,840 --> 03:15:36,740
I have this, you know, I always think

5594
03:15:36,740 --> 03:15:38,480
one of the greatest sauces ever made is

5595
03:15:38,480 --> 03:15:40,600
Tabasco sauce, the brand.

5596
03:15:41,160 --> 03:15:42,560
And the way they make it, it's made

5597
03:15:42,560 --> 03:15:43,600
with these special peppers.

5598
03:15:44,400 --> 03:15:45,640
And then we've had Melinda's.

5599
03:15:45,720 --> 03:15:47,580
I promoted that on the show before.

5600
03:15:47,800 --> 03:15:49,940
And I always like Crystal, too, which is

5601
03:15:49,940 --> 03:15:50,660
a very nice sauce.

5602
03:15:50,800 --> 03:15:53,900
But I've replaced the Crystal with actually this

5603
03:15:53,900 --> 03:15:56,400
incredibly mild hot sauce.

5604
03:15:56,440 --> 03:15:57,380
It's really mild.

5605
03:15:58,040 --> 03:16:00,240
And it's called Frank's Red Hot.

5606
03:16:00,660 --> 03:16:02,120
Yeah, Frank's Red Hot.

5607
03:16:02,940 --> 03:16:04,880
Frank's Red Hot is a sauce that's been

5608
03:16:04,880 --> 03:16:05,340
around forever.

5609
03:16:05,460 --> 03:16:07,720
I only discovered it about a decade ago,

5610
03:16:08,160 --> 03:16:09,540
and I feel kind of bad about it

5611
03:16:09,540 --> 03:16:10,720
because I always looked at it as some

5612
03:16:10,720 --> 03:16:13,400
sort of a cheap, sleazy, useless hot sauce.

5613
03:16:13,480 --> 03:16:15,460
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and my

5614
03:16:15,460 --> 03:16:17,880
palate likes stuff like this.

5615
03:16:18,960 --> 03:16:20,860
I think it only has 450 Scovilles.

5616
03:16:20,960 --> 03:16:21,720
It's not that hot.

5617
03:16:22,340 --> 03:16:25,340
And by the way, Frank's is the base

5618
03:16:25,340 --> 03:16:28,560
for Buffalo Chicken Wing sauce, or what you

5619
03:16:28,560 --> 03:16:30,060
toss the Buffalo Chicken Wings in.

5620
03:16:30,460 --> 03:16:33,260
And for all practical purposes, Buffalo Chicken Wing

5621
03:16:33,260 --> 03:16:36,360
sauce is nothing more than half Frank's hot

5622
03:16:36,360 --> 03:16:39,120
sauce, or Red Hot, as they call it,

5623
03:16:39,240 --> 03:16:41,900
Frank's hot sauce and butter.

5624
03:16:42,120 --> 03:16:44,020
Half butter, half this sauce.

5625
03:16:44,300 --> 03:16:45,580
You've got the Chicken Wing sauce.

5626
03:16:45,640 --> 03:16:47,240
You can put some Worcestershire in there if

5627
03:16:47,240 --> 03:16:47,680
you want to.

5628
03:16:48,020 --> 03:16:49,620
But that's essentially it.

5629
03:16:49,620 --> 03:16:53,880
This stuff, you can just douse things with

5630
03:16:53,880 --> 03:16:54,000
it.

5631
03:16:54,080 --> 03:16:56,460
It's almost could be a soup.

5632
03:16:57,160 --> 03:16:59,220
You just put it on everything, and I

5633
03:16:59,220 --> 03:17:01,020
think it's got one of the best flavor

5634
03:17:01,020 --> 03:17:04,840
profiles of any just rando condiment.

5635
03:17:05,180 --> 03:17:07,300
It's delicious, and it would be good on

5636
03:17:07,300 --> 03:17:07,640
turkey.

5637
03:17:07,820 --> 03:17:09,420
You could even put it on your cornflakes.

5638
03:17:12,130 --> 03:17:14,150
I don't know about that.

5639
03:17:14,450 --> 03:17:15,870
It's a funny idea.

5640
03:17:16,270 --> 03:17:17,150
There it is, everybody.

5641
03:17:17,450 --> 03:17:17,910
Yeah, I'm sorry.

5642
03:17:18,250 --> 03:17:18,550
Terrific.

5643
03:17:18,610 --> 03:17:19,270
I'm sorry.

5644
03:17:19,330 --> 03:17:20,470
It's a terrific product.

5645
03:17:20,470 --> 03:17:21,090
There it is.

5646
03:17:21,170 --> 03:17:23,170
Of course it's a terrific product, because it

5647
03:17:23,170 --> 03:17:25,290
is one of John's tips of the day.

5648
03:17:26,150 --> 03:17:28,670
Created by a show, you and me.

5649
03:17:28,910 --> 03:17:31,570
Just a tip with JCD.

5650
03:17:32,210 --> 03:17:33,890
And sometimes Adam.

5651
03:17:34,690 --> 03:17:35,590
Created by Dan J.

5652
03:17:35,590 --> 03:17:36,350
And just get the original.

5653
03:17:36,970 --> 03:17:40,170
Well, I hope everybody enjoyed the show today.

5654
03:17:41,970 --> 03:17:43,950
We are doing real work.

5655
03:17:43,950 --> 03:17:46,570
Unlike MS Now, who for the past hour

5656
03:17:46,570 --> 03:17:51,670
and a half have had Nicole Wallace with

5657
03:17:51,670 --> 03:17:54,530
headphones on, sitting there, because she thinks, oh,

5658
03:17:54,610 --> 03:17:56,470
yeah, we've got to have other podcasters on

5659
03:17:56,470 --> 03:17:56,970
my podcast.

5660
03:17:57,030 --> 03:17:59,370
She's doing a podcast on MS Now with

5661
03:17:59,370 --> 03:18:01,950
the whole crew from the Midas Touch podcast.

5662
03:18:03,070 --> 03:18:04,010
Oh, my God.

5663
03:18:04,130 --> 03:18:05,930
Yeah, that's the level you get.

5664
03:18:06,370 --> 03:18:07,070
But not here.

5665
03:18:07,210 --> 03:18:08,370
Not on the No Agenda Show.

5666
03:18:08,470 --> 03:18:09,070
No, no, no, no.

5667
03:18:09,430 --> 03:18:11,170
In fact, we'll even end it with some

5668
03:18:11,170 --> 03:18:12,270
end of show mixes.

5669
03:18:13,010 --> 03:18:17,090
We've got MVP checking in twice, and Danny

5670
03:18:17,090 --> 03:18:18,010
Luce is back.

5671
03:18:18,530 --> 03:18:20,630
MVP sandwiching in Danny Luce.

5672
03:18:21,550 --> 03:18:24,170
And we will return on Sunday for more

5673
03:18:24,170 --> 03:18:26,270
excitement here on the No Agenda Show.

5674
03:18:26,870 --> 03:18:27,890
Please join us.

5675
03:18:28,170 --> 03:18:30,210
And I am coming to you today from

5676
03:18:30,210 --> 03:18:32,830
the heart of the Texas Hill Country in

5677
03:18:32,830 --> 03:18:34,030
Fredericksburg, Texas.

5678
03:18:34,210 --> 03:18:35,170
In the morning, everybody.

5679
03:18:35,330 --> 03:18:36,110
I'm Adam Curry.

5680
03:18:36,390 --> 03:18:39,810
And I'm from Northern Silicon Valley, where we

5681
03:18:39,810 --> 03:18:41,270
wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving.

5682
03:18:41,270 --> 03:18:42,370
Have a good meal tonight.

5683
03:18:42,890 --> 03:18:43,630
I'm John C.

5684
03:18:43,730 --> 03:18:44,090
Dvorak.

5685
03:18:44,210 --> 03:18:45,590
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

5686
03:18:45,810 --> 03:18:47,250
Thank you for being your producer of the

5687
03:18:47,250 --> 03:18:48,550
best podcast in the universe.

5688
03:18:48,690 --> 03:18:49,830
We really appreciate you.

5689
03:18:49,890 --> 03:18:52,190
And remember us at noagendadonations.com.

5690
03:18:52,570 --> 03:18:55,410
We've got Planet Rage, our 200th episode, next

5691
03:18:55,410 --> 03:18:56,090
on the stream.

5692
03:18:56,190 --> 03:18:57,450
Until Sunday.

5693
03:18:57,590 --> 03:18:59,130
Adios, fo-fos.

5694
03:18:59,150 --> 03:19:00,050
A-hoo-wee-hoo-wee.

5695
03:19:00,130 --> 03:19:00,570
And such.

5696
03:19:01,350 --> 03:19:02,250
Good evening, everyone.

5697
03:19:02,350 --> 03:19:03,890
Welcome to the show.

5698
03:19:04,390 --> 03:19:04,830
Yeah.

5699
03:19:06,290 --> 03:19:13,030
Let's deconstruct a boomer and boomer adjacent.

5700
03:19:13,030 --> 03:19:14,850
Two guys on the air.

5701
03:19:15,070 --> 03:19:16,810
One in the valley.

5702
03:19:17,210 --> 03:19:18,750
One way down there.

5703
03:19:19,270 --> 03:19:22,270
Menlo the buzzkill says don't trust your head.

5704
03:19:22,770 --> 03:19:24,110
That's what he said.

5705
03:19:24,630 --> 03:19:27,430
Then you got Castor, the man they call

5706
03:19:27,430 --> 03:19:28,210
Crackpot.

5707
03:19:28,410 --> 03:19:31,970
A transplant Texan fired up, giving all that

5708
03:19:31,970 --> 03:19:32,910
he's got.

5709
03:19:33,110 --> 03:19:36,590
18 long years, a tradition so strong, they

5710
03:19:36,590 --> 03:19:37,070
got set.

5711
03:19:41,000 --> 03:19:42,300
It's no agenda.

5712
03:19:42,860 --> 03:19:45,000
Every Thursday and Sunday.

5713
03:19:45,000 --> 03:19:49,760
Three whole hours to write in your mundane

5714
03:19:49,760 --> 03:19:50,360
day.

5715
03:19:50,480 --> 03:19:52,920
From the podfather, Castor to writer, Menlo's latest

5716
03:19:52,920 --> 03:19:53,440
word.

5717
03:19:53,640 --> 03:19:55,260
They deconstruct the news.

5718
03:19:55,400 --> 03:19:56,920
The real truth is heard.

5719
03:19:57,060 --> 03:19:58,500
They might not agree.

5720
03:20:08,980 --> 03:20:10,320
Oh, oh, agenda.

5721
03:20:10,620 --> 03:20:12,180
Put it in your feed.

5722
03:20:12,960 --> 03:20:14,120
No agenda.

5723
03:20:14,400 --> 03:20:15,960
Exactly what you need.

5724
03:20:19,940 --> 03:20:21,460
That's a bunch of BS.

5725
03:20:24,880 --> 03:20:39,870
Charlie!

5726
03:20:58,120 --> 03:20:59,960
millions of families.

5727
03:21:00,320 --> 03:21:07,040
At the same time, these fascist bastards murdered

5728
03:21:07,040 --> 03:21:09,660
more than 100 million lives.

5729
03:21:11,500 --> 03:21:15,020
I believe in the right to eat.

5730
03:21:15,640 --> 03:21:19,720
Unfortunately my family does not agree.

5731
03:21:20,720 --> 03:21:23,560
No mouths but their own.

5732
03:21:23,800 --> 03:21:27,260
They feed, they can't stand it when other

5733
03:21:27,260 --> 03:21:28,560
people eat.

5734
03:21:43,070 --> 03:21:47,390
The west wing halls feel narrow.

5735
03:21:50,150 --> 03:21:52,910
The oval's getting tight.

5736
03:21:54,470 --> 03:21:58,550
I need a little elbow room to set

5737
03:21:58,550 --> 03:21:59,630
the rhythm right.

5738
03:22:01,090 --> 03:22:04,170
The architects are boring.

5739
03:22:04,850 --> 03:22:07,710
Their vision's far too small.

5740
03:22:08,370 --> 03:22:12,810
I'm looking for a dance floor that goes

5741
03:22:12,810 --> 03:22:14,830
right through the wall.

5742
03:22:14,830 --> 03:22:17,870
I need more ballroom, baby.

5743
03:22:18,430 --> 03:22:22,370
I need a floor that spans a mile.

5744
03:22:22,830 --> 03:22:27,270
A place to do the foxtrot with the

5745
03:22:27,270 --> 03:22:28,830
presidential style.

5746
03:22:28,830 --> 03:22:32,850
Clear out the drab and dullness.

5747
03:22:33,430 --> 03:22:36,930
Tear down the plaster mold.

5748
03:22:37,790 --> 03:22:42,830
And when you paint the trim, boy, make

5749
03:22:42,830 --> 03:22:46,270
sure it's solid gold.

5750
03:22:51,710 --> 03:22:55,350
Don't bring me polysilver.

5751
03:22:55,590 --> 03:22:58,830
Don't bring me matte or chrome.

5752
03:22:59,090 --> 03:23:03,290
I want that mitre shimmering to make it

5753
03:23:03,290 --> 03:23:06,110
to match my golden dome.

5754
03:23:08,790 --> 03:23:13,270
The best podcast in the universe.

5755
03:23:13,390 --> 03:23:14,750
Adios, mofo.

5756
03:23:14,890 --> 03:23:18,310
Dvorak.org slash N-A.

5757
03:23:18,770 --> 03:23:21,250
This is so good.
