1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:01,780
Hey, today's redhead day.

2
00:00:02,580 --> 00:00:04,440
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,580 --> 00:00:04,820
DeVora.

4
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,360
It's Thursday, February 26, 2026.

5
00:00:07,460 --> 00:00:08,840
This is your award-winning give-all nation

6
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,300
media assassination episode 1846.

7
00:00:11,620 --> 00:00:13,260
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:16,240
Guilty until proven innocent.

9
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:18,620
And broadcasting live from the heart of the

10
00:00:18,620 --> 00:00:21,180
Texas school country, here in FEMA region number

11
00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:21,600
six.

12
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:22,760
In the morning, everybody.

13
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:23,820
I'm Adam Curry.

14
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,540
And from northern Silicon Valley, where we demand

15
00:00:27,540 --> 00:00:28,300
accountability.

16
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:29,520
I'm John C.

17
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:30,020
DeVorak.

18
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,240
It's crackball and buzzkill.

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

20
00:00:34,180 --> 00:00:35,360
Yeah, you did it, man.

21
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:36,440
You did it now.

22
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,780
You did it now.

23
00:00:41,710 --> 00:00:42,130
What?

24
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:43,250
You did it.

25
00:00:43,370 --> 00:00:48,050
Your entire Hoar Island thesis has thrown the

26
00:00:48,050 --> 00:00:49,710
show into a tailspin.

27
00:00:52,550 --> 00:00:55,530
Did you not receive any emails at all?

28
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:56,550
Yeah, I got a couple.

29
00:00:56,910 --> 00:00:59,110
I mean, I got, uh, let's see.

30
00:00:59,110 --> 00:01:01,870
I'm just looking from my Twitter timeline today.

31
00:01:02,690 --> 00:01:04,770
Something simply isn't right about the show.

32
00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:06,030
What the hell is happening?

33
00:01:07,110 --> 00:01:08,290
Here's another one.

34
00:01:08,830 --> 00:01:09,830
It's truly sad.

35
00:01:10,410 --> 00:01:11,670
The show used to be a one-of

36
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:13,410
-a-kind breakdown of the news cycle.

37
00:01:13,890 --> 00:01:15,950
And just enough crackpot to keep it interesting

38
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:16,350
and open.

39
00:01:16,670 --> 00:01:19,110
I personally believe that after journalist Jamie White

40
00:01:19,110 --> 00:01:20,610
was murdered, it was a cue to stop

41
00:01:20,610 --> 00:01:23,110
talking about certain subjects.

42
00:01:24,270 --> 00:01:25,890
This show sucks now.

43
00:01:25,930 --> 00:01:27,210
I did not get that one.

44
00:01:27,630 --> 00:01:28,450
Oh, this is public.

45
00:01:28,450 --> 00:01:29,910
This is just on my timeline.

46
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:30,790
Oh, yeah.

47
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:32,350
Oh, it's just something somebody's bitching.

48
00:01:32,490 --> 00:01:32,590
Okay.

49
00:01:32,650 --> 00:01:35,250
Oh, well, I mean, it's nonstop.

50
00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:38,470
It's all I can't even go to Twitter

51
00:01:38,470 --> 00:01:38,870
anymore.

52
00:01:38,970 --> 00:01:40,270
It's like people just hate me.

53
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:41,990
Yeah.

54
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:44,130
Well, they should hate you for letting me

55
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:45,010
talk like this.

56
00:01:45,070 --> 00:01:46,310
Yes, they hate me for something.

57
00:01:46,510 --> 00:01:47,370
Here's my favorite.

58
00:01:47,530 --> 00:01:48,150
Here's my favorite.

59
00:01:48,930 --> 00:01:51,770
What kind of Christian are you?

60
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:55,770
There's a mountain of evidence in the P.

61
00:01:55,890 --> 00:01:58,370
Diddy and Epstein cases showing their deep involvement

62
00:01:58,370 --> 00:02:00,950
in satanic cults and sex magic rituals.

63
00:02:01,130 --> 00:02:04,330
Yet, for some reason, you keep trying to

64
00:02:04,330 --> 00:02:06,430
sell us on the idea they were merely

65
00:02:06,430 --> 00:02:08,150
rich guys having orgies.

66
00:02:08,669 --> 00:02:12,150
It really makes me question who you really

67
00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:13,050
pray to.

68
00:02:13,890 --> 00:02:16,250
Why have you laughed at it like our

69
00:02:16,250 --> 00:02:18,310
government is not full of satanic creeps?

70
00:02:18,530 --> 00:02:20,950
Surely, you know the truth.

71
00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:26,590
So stuff like this, and then it's running

72
00:02:26,590 --> 00:02:27,870
away into podcasts.

73
00:02:28,650 --> 00:02:30,770
This is the coffee and a mic podcast.

74
00:02:31,230 --> 00:02:34,010
To separate whether I can talk to somebody

75
00:02:34,010 --> 00:02:36,750
and judge whether they know what's going on,

76
00:02:36,850 --> 00:02:39,770
or even if they're like controlled opposition is,

77
00:02:40,010 --> 00:02:42,570
does Israel control the United States or does

78
00:02:42,570 --> 00:02:43,990
the United States control Israel?

79
00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:45,890
Because if you tell me the United States

80
00:02:45,890 --> 00:02:50,150
controls Israel, one, I either think you're ignorant,

81
00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:52,410
or two, I think you're working for them.

82
00:02:54,230 --> 00:02:56,650
One of the biggest podcasts in the world

83
00:02:56,650 --> 00:02:57,450
is No Agenda.

84
00:02:58,130 --> 00:03:00,690
And after what I've heard on that show

85
00:03:00,690 --> 00:03:03,770
over the last year, I'm trying to get

86
00:03:03,770 --> 00:03:06,010
people to run away from that Adam Curry

87
00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:06,630
and John C.

88
00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:07,250
Dvorak.

89
00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:13,050
I mean, just this past Sunday's episode, they

90
00:03:13,050 --> 00:03:15,210
were completely excusing.

91
00:03:15,550 --> 00:03:18,190
They're saying, oh, there were no underage girls

92
00:03:18,190 --> 00:03:18,950
with Epstein.

93
00:03:18,950 --> 00:03:22,490
They're Epstein mentions it in the freaking day

94
00:03:22,490 --> 00:03:24,490
that I provide children.

95
00:03:26,130 --> 00:03:29,930
Michael Tracy, Michael Tracy has been out there

96
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:32,070
denying the undeniable.

97
00:03:32,750 --> 00:03:35,650
And people are like, you know, why do

98
00:03:35,650 --> 00:03:36,950
they think that works?

99
00:03:37,650 --> 00:03:39,990
I'm baffled by that because it seems to

100
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:43,550
me that conceding something would give you enhanced

101
00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:44,750
credibility, right?

102
00:03:44,890 --> 00:03:45,980
And there it is.

103
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,680
Conceding into audience capture.

104
00:03:53,740 --> 00:03:54,340
Exactly.

105
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,700
Wouldn't it make sense that if we really

106
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:03,700
were going for the gold that we just

107
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:06,060
say, oh, yeah, yeah, this is this is

108
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:08,400
what we believe when we clearly believe other

109
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:08,760
things.

110
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:13,120
And we've been controversial throughout almost.

111
00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:14,720
It's hardly controversial.

112
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,620
Oh, it's extremely controversial to maniacs.

113
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:21,340
You know, you have no idea this guy

114
00:04:21,340 --> 00:04:21,760
with his.

115
00:04:22,260 --> 00:04:24,440
Oh, you know, I don't understand how it's

116
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,660
even possible that anyone doesn't believe that Israel

117
00:04:28,660 --> 00:04:31,500
controls the United States because, hell, you know,

118
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,200
there's a small little country in the middle

119
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,540
of nowhere and they're telling us what to

120
00:04:35,540 --> 00:04:36,180
do.

121
00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:38,160
Won't they tell us to give him even

122
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:38,740
more money?

123
00:04:38,780 --> 00:04:40,320
I don't see him us doing that.

124
00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:41,620
We're the biggest.

125
00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:44,180
We have a one trillion dollar defense budget.

126
00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:45,840
We're the biggest market in the world.

127
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,660
And they're telling us what to do.

128
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,060
And that makes sense to you.

129
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,520
I think that.

130
00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:52,860
Well, of course not.

131
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:54,220
But that's the point.

132
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:54,640
There is.

133
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,580
No, not you.

134
00:04:55,740 --> 00:04:56,060
I'm talking.

135
00:04:56,420 --> 00:04:56,840
No, no, no, I know.

136
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,020
But there's you out there.

137
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,220
There's a complete lack of critical thinking.

138
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,800
And it comes from this beautiful confluence of

139
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,420
years of QAnon babies being shipped in wayfair

140
00:05:10,420 --> 00:05:11,000
containers.

141
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:12,080
Remember that one?

142
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,680
Everybody was all in on that one.

143
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:21,440
Why could it cost $13,000 into Epstein,

144
00:05:21,620 --> 00:05:25,160
who everybody was convinced that he was blackmailing

145
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,960
people, convinced, you know, throw in a little

146
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,900
bit of Whitney Webb.

147
00:05:30,420 --> 00:05:31,780
And by the way, she's having a big

148
00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:33,060
fight with Glenn Greenwald.

149
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,340
If you saw that Glenn Greenwald, you know,

150
00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:38,360
you wrote stuff about me in 2013.

151
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,620
That was utter bullcrap.

152
00:05:39,660 --> 00:05:40,880
So I can't trust you anymore.

153
00:05:41,020 --> 00:05:41,760
Whatever you write.

154
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,020
Um, there's just it's like we've gone into

155
00:05:45,020 --> 00:05:46,900
conspiracy overdrive.

156
00:05:47,660 --> 00:05:50,080
And when the two sanest voices is Adam

157
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,660
and John, you got to stop for a

158
00:05:51,660 --> 00:05:51,940
second.

159
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:55,420
Think, hmm, I wonder why those guys are

160
00:05:55,420 --> 00:05:57,160
saying what they actually think.

161
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,700
And now what everybody wants them to say.

162
00:06:02,270 --> 00:06:04,850
So let's clarify at least one thing.

163
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:08,290
This we never said that there's no underage

164
00:06:08,290 --> 00:06:09,030
girls involved.

165
00:06:09,130 --> 00:06:11,110
In fact, if you look at anything having

166
00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:13,570
to do with prostitution whatsoever, you find that

167
00:06:13,570 --> 00:06:15,550
it's dominated by underage girls.

168
00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:18,230
And there's report after report, which I actually

169
00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:21,490
did a printout of the United Nations and

170
00:06:21,490 --> 00:06:23,350
other groups have done this at the average

171
00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:26,670
typical underage girl involved in prostitution is a

172
00:06:26,670 --> 00:06:27,250
runaway.

173
00:06:27,410 --> 00:06:29,070
There's all kinds of issues with them, and

174
00:06:29,070 --> 00:06:32,250
they're 15, but average average 15.

175
00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:34,830
So this is not what we're talking about.

176
00:06:35,070 --> 00:06:36,730
But let me read you this note from

177
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:40,890
a one of our listeners, one of our

178
00:06:40,890 --> 00:06:42,490
producers, Chester.

179
00:06:43,570 --> 00:06:45,950
Hey, John, I appreciated your take on Epstein.

180
00:06:46,410 --> 00:06:47,690
I was at a dinner a few weeks

181
00:06:47,690 --> 00:06:50,410
ago with several people, including a former high

182
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:54,910
end sex worker, you know, who explained her

183
00:06:54,910 --> 00:06:58,290
opinion on Jeffrey and the island, which was

184
00:06:58,290 --> 00:06:59,870
pretty much the same as yours.

185
00:07:00,710 --> 00:07:03,450
Nobody at the table seemed to scandalize, but

186
00:07:03,450 --> 00:07:04,670
they weren't agreeing either.

187
00:07:04,810 --> 00:07:07,970
I think I said something noncommittal, like, oh,

188
00:07:07,970 --> 00:07:08,390
maybe.

189
00:07:09,070 --> 00:07:11,590
But the conversation stuck in my head.

190
00:07:11,690 --> 00:07:14,110
So I was receptive when I heard your

191
00:07:14,110 --> 00:07:14,870
rundown.

192
00:07:15,290 --> 00:07:18,010
In other words, he heard her first than

193
00:07:18,010 --> 00:07:18,230
me.

194
00:07:18,330 --> 00:07:19,010
Oh, okay.

195
00:07:19,130 --> 00:07:19,630
Interesting.

196
00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:22,690
So I made an audio clip of you

197
00:07:22,690 --> 00:07:24,870
expounding on the matter and sent it to

198
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:25,950
her in an email.

199
00:07:27,590 --> 00:07:29,830
And she responded, quote.

200
00:07:31,470 --> 00:07:34,350
So we have a we have our she

201
00:07:34,350 --> 00:07:35,470
should be listening to the show.

202
00:07:35,630 --> 00:07:36,510
Yeah, I hope so.

203
00:07:37,050 --> 00:07:37,510
Send it.

204
00:07:37,610 --> 00:07:40,470
I am glad someone is speaking up about

205
00:07:40,470 --> 00:07:43,530
the matter in a sane fashion.

206
00:07:44,450 --> 00:07:47,750
I think the Epstein spectacle is quite anti

207
00:07:47,750 --> 00:07:48,530
Semitic.

208
00:07:48,930 --> 00:07:49,930
Oh, hey, no.

209
00:07:50,690 --> 00:07:53,550
Turning one lone individual into a central figure

210
00:07:53,550 --> 00:07:56,110
in a conspiracy that involves money and finance,

211
00:07:56,450 --> 00:07:59,710
forcing every person who knows him to explain

212
00:07:59,710 --> 00:08:02,630
how he came to be tainted by this

213
00:08:02,630 --> 00:08:05,590
scapegoat who just happened to be Jewish.

214
00:08:06,510 --> 00:08:07,870
Give me a break.

215
00:08:07,910 --> 00:08:09,130
It's obvious.

216
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,550
And then she says it's an unhealthy blend

217
00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:20,170
of anti Semitic paranoia, Salem witch trial methods,

218
00:08:21,050 --> 00:08:23,850
sex phobia, plus women of a certain age

219
00:08:23,850 --> 00:08:26,670
hating the existence of young younger women in

220
00:08:26,670 --> 00:08:27,830
men's lives.

221
00:08:28,270 --> 00:08:29,450
Just perfect.

222
00:08:29,970 --> 00:08:32,690
Some of those mean spirited women claiming to

223
00:08:32,690 --> 00:08:36,710
be concerned about vulnerable younger ladies are older

224
00:08:36,710 --> 00:08:37,789
sex workers.

225
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:40,990
End of quote.

226
00:08:43,130 --> 00:08:46,310
So no, I'm the more I thought about

227
00:08:46,310 --> 00:08:46,830
what you say.

228
00:08:46,930 --> 00:08:47,070
Yeah.

229
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:49,730
First of all, yeah, the Epstein files are

230
00:08:49,730 --> 00:08:51,990
filled with all kinds of crazy stuff.

231
00:08:52,750 --> 00:08:54,950
Anybody's email, if they ever get a hold

232
00:08:54,950 --> 00:08:56,750
of my email, the stuff I haven't nuked

233
00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:58,850
on my own server, people send me the

234
00:08:58,850 --> 00:08:59,770
craziest stuff.

235
00:09:00,690 --> 00:09:02,450
You know, you look at that like, oh,

236
00:09:02,490 --> 00:09:03,430
what's going on here?

237
00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:06,390
Do I think Epstein was creepy?

238
00:09:06,590 --> 00:09:07,090
Absolutely.

239
00:09:07,510 --> 00:09:07,730
Do I?

240
00:09:08,010 --> 00:09:08,550
Oh, yeah, sure.

241
00:09:08,650 --> 00:09:09,150
He was.

242
00:09:09,230 --> 00:09:09,950
You could take a look.

243
00:09:10,090 --> 00:09:10,810
It was creepy.

244
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:12,170
People are creeps.

245
00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:13,930
And there are lots of people like that.

246
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:18,950
In fact, the Department of Justice and Sheriff's

247
00:09:18,950 --> 00:09:21,850
Office around the country continuously round up people

248
00:09:21,850 --> 00:09:25,450
like that gets almost no mention because it's

249
00:09:25,450 --> 00:09:27,870
not Trump or it's not billionaires, et cetera.

250
00:09:28,650 --> 00:09:32,090
So and this I have to agree with

251
00:09:32,090 --> 00:09:32,530
the president.

252
00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:34,830
This is a he's calls it a Democrat

253
00:09:34,830 --> 00:09:35,250
hoax.

254
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:39,230
It's a Democrat strategy and they're using it

255
00:09:39,230 --> 00:09:40,050
quite effectively.

256
00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:43,450
So there is one case now that everybody's

257
00:09:43,450 --> 00:09:45,970
honing in on about this 13 year old.

258
00:09:47,230 --> 00:09:50,090
And Anderson Cooper leads the charge, and then

259
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:52,450
we'll talk about this and what the facts

260
00:09:52,450 --> 00:09:54,870
of the case are, not just what people

261
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:55,550
are saying.

262
00:09:55,770 --> 00:09:57,390
We begin tonight, keeping them honest with the

263
00:09:57,390 --> 00:10:00,110
name that I'm honest was not last night

264
00:10:00,110 --> 00:10:01,390
State of the Union message.

265
00:10:01,570 --> 00:10:02,290
Jeffrey Epstein.

266
00:10:02,850 --> 00:10:04,870
That and the name that we learned today

267
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:07,350
has turned up in FBI records missing from

268
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:08,290
the Epstein files.

269
00:10:08,450 --> 00:10:09,050
Donald Trump.

270
00:10:09,690 --> 00:10:11,690
We know this because a numbered evidence log

271
00:10:11,690 --> 00:10:15,150
in the Glenn Maxwell case catalogs about 325

272
00:10:15,150 --> 00:10:17,010
FBI witness interviews.

273
00:10:17,690 --> 00:10:19,410
But of that number, more than 90 do

274
00:10:19,410 --> 00:10:20,890
not appear to be present on the Justice

275
00:10:20,890 --> 00:10:21,890
Department's website.

276
00:10:22,210 --> 00:10:24,510
And three of those witness interviews are related

277
00:10:24,510 --> 00:10:26,850
to a woman who told agents that Jeffrey

278
00:10:26,850 --> 00:10:29,710
Epstein had repeatedly abused her starting when she

279
00:10:29,710 --> 00:10:31,330
was approximately 13 years old.

280
00:10:31,790 --> 00:10:34,490
She also accused Trump of sexually assaulting her.

281
00:10:34,950 --> 00:10:36,110
Now, we should point out here that the

282
00:10:36,110 --> 00:10:39,210
president has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection

283
00:10:39,210 --> 00:10:40,910
with Jeffrey Epstein, and the White House is

284
00:10:40,910 --> 00:10:44,090
calling the allegations, quote, false and sensationalist.

285
00:10:44,270 --> 00:10:45,550
We have nothing to do with Epstein.

286
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:46,650
The Democrats do.

287
00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:48,350
I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.

288
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:50,370
You just keep going on the Epstein files.

289
00:10:50,910 --> 00:10:53,110
And what the Epstein is is a Democrat

290
00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:53,590
hoax.

291
00:10:53,590 --> 00:10:55,330
The president, as you know, has been treating

292
00:10:55,330 --> 00:10:57,590
the files as the ultimate not guilty verdict.

293
00:10:57,970 --> 00:10:59,130
I have nothing to hide.

294
00:10:59,210 --> 00:11:00,230
I've been exonerated.

295
00:11:00,390 --> 00:11:02,170
I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.

296
00:11:02,510 --> 00:11:03,910
I've been totally exonerated.

297
00:11:04,130 --> 00:11:05,850
And I've been totally exonerated.

298
00:11:05,970 --> 00:11:07,990
I've been totally exonerated on Epstein.

299
00:11:08,350 --> 00:11:09,710
Well, you know, I'm the expert in a

300
00:11:09,710 --> 00:11:11,470
way because I've been totally exonerated.

301
00:11:11,690 --> 00:11:12,930
But I'm the one that can talk about

302
00:11:12,930 --> 00:11:14,510
it because I've been totally exonerated.

303
00:11:15,090 --> 00:11:16,530
Well, keep it honest, that might be easier

304
00:11:16,530 --> 00:11:18,190
to say if the public had access to

305
00:11:18,190 --> 00:11:20,970
everything the federal government has on Epstein, Maxwell

306
00:11:20,970 --> 00:11:22,910
and the many powerful people they moved among.

307
00:11:22,910 --> 00:11:25,970
Then Citizen Trump included, who, again, says he

308
00:11:25,970 --> 00:11:26,850
did nothing wrong.

309
00:11:27,210 --> 00:11:29,330
So now you've got to add one more

310
00:11:29,330 --> 00:11:32,590
thing to the Epstein conspiracy that involves all

311
00:11:32,590 --> 00:11:36,230
the billionaires, the elites and everybody that, of

312
00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:38,570
course, is not with high end escorts.

313
00:11:38,770 --> 00:11:39,430
No, no, no.

314
00:11:39,510 --> 00:11:42,430
It's all children and it's eating babies.

315
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:46,510
And the biggest offender of this, and you

316
00:11:46,510 --> 00:11:49,210
almost I almost have to think she was

317
00:11:49,210 --> 00:11:51,910
doing it on purpose, is our AG Barbie.

318
00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:54,490
These latest allegations first arose in July of

319
00:11:54,490 --> 00:11:57,370
2019, just days after Epstein's arrest on federal

320
00:11:57,370 --> 00:11:57,850
charges.

321
00:11:58,130 --> 00:12:00,170
A woman called an FBI tip line.

322
00:12:00,730 --> 00:12:02,990
Agents interviewed her two weeks later, during which

323
00:12:02,990 --> 00:12:05,070
she told them Epstein had repeatedly abused her

324
00:12:05,070 --> 00:12:06,430
at a home he was staying at in

325
00:12:06,430 --> 00:12:07,150
South Carolina.

326
00:12:07,770 --> 00:12:09,530
The abuse started, she said, when she was

327
00:12:09,530 --> 00:12:10,630
about 13 years old.

328
00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:13,350
Now, according to the FBI interview record, a

329
00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:16,570
form known as a 302 when she showed

330
00:12:16,570 --> 00:12:18,930
agents a photo of Trump and Epstein that

331
00:12:18,930 --> 00:12:20,090
a friend had sent her.

332
00:12:20,090 --> 00:12:22,750
Her attorney said that she was, quote, concerned

333
00:12:22,750 --> 00:12:26,630
about implicating additional individuals and specifically any that

334
00:12:26,630 --> 00:12:28,010
were well known due to a fear of

335
00:12:28,010 --> 00:12:28,770
retaliation.

336
00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:32,630
The Maxwell evidence log notes three additional 302

337
00:12:32,630 --> 00:12:36,330
forms dated in August and October 2019 related

338
00:12:36,330 --> 00:12:38,450
to the same alleged victim, as well as

339
00:12:38,450 --> 00:12:40,470
three other sets of interview notes.

340
00:12:40,810 --> 00:12:42,270
Now, none of those appear to be present

341
00:12:42,270 --> 00:12:45,270
in the files released by the DOJ lawmakers.

342
00:12:45,550 --> 00:12:47,310
Most sides of the aisle have now said

343
00:12:47,310 --> 00:12:49,090
the release files, which took an act of

344
00:12:49,090 --> 00:12:51,130
Congress to get released, are not all there

345
00:12:51,130 --> 00:12:51,430
is.

346
00:12:51,790 --> 00:12:53,230
And it's been more than a year since

347
00:12:53,230 --> 00:12:55,310
the attorney general said this on Fox News.

348
00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:56,030
Here we go.

349
00:12:57,330 --> 00:13:00,550
Tomorrow, Jesse, breaking news right now, you're going

350
00:13:00,550 --> 00:13:03,650
to see some Epstein information being released by

351
00:13:03,650 --> 00:13:04,210
my office.

352
00:13:04,670 --> 00:13:06,530
It's sitting on my desk right now to

353
00:13:06,530 --> 00:13:07,010
review.

354
00:13:07,190 --> 00:13:09,670
A truckload of evidence arrived.

355
00:13:10,050 --> 00:13:11,750
It's now in the possession of the FBI.

356
00:13:11,970 --> 00:13:12,830
It's a new day.

357
00:13:13,210 --> 00:13:14,270
It's a new administration.

358
00:13:14,650 --> 00:13:17,370
And everything's going to come out to the

359
00:13:17,370 --> 00:13:17,690
public.

360
00:13:19,470 --> 00:13:23,210
So that, of course, was the dumbest thing

361
00:13:23,210 --> 00:13:24,790
she could have ever done.

362
00:13:24,910 --> 00:13:27,370
Either she is a complete idiot or she's

363
00:13:27,370 --> 00:13:29,510
working for the Democrats, as far as I'm

364
00:13:29,510 --> 00:13:31,830
concerned, because she at least should have known

365
00:13:31,830 --> 00:13:32,810
she had nothing.

366
00:13:33,910 --> 00:13:36,010
All the stuff she put in the binders

367
00:13:36,010 --> 00:13:37,950
was known for a long time.

368
00:13:39,190 --> 00:13:41,010
And a final clip here about the DOJ.

369
00:13:41,210 --> 00:13:42,630
That said, for the most part, the files

370
00:13:42,630 --> 00:13:44,670
we've seen have been notable for the absence

371
00:13:44,670 --> 00:13:47,870
of names hidden behind redactions, which both Republican

372
00:13:47,870 --> 00:13:50,230
Thomas Massie and Democrat Ro Khanna both say

373
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:52,130
conceal potential co-conspirators.

374
00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:54,290
And to the files we've seen, you can

375
00:13:54,290 --> 00:13:55,950
now add the ones that are missing.

376
00:13:56,490 --> 00:13:58,610
Reading now from the Justice Department's statement on

377
00:13:58,610 --> 00:14:01,370
them, several individuals and news outlets have recently

378
00:14:01,370 --> 00:14:04,250
flagged files related to documents produced to Ghislaine

379
00:14:04,250 --> 00:14:06,970
Maxwell in discovery of her criminal case that

380
00:14:06,970 --> 00:14:08,390
they claim appear to be missing.

381
00:14:08,930 --> 00:14:10,750
As with all documents that have been flagged

382
00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:12,710
by the public, the department is currently reviewing

383
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:14,770
files within that category of the production.

384
00:14:14,770 --> 00:14:17,190
Should any document be found to have been

385
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:19,730
improperly tagged in the review process and is

386
00:14:19,730 --> 00:14:22,270
responsive to the act, the department will, of

387
00:14:22,270 --> 00:14:24,210
course, publish it consistent with the law.

388
00:14:24,370 --> 00:14:27,430
So they continue to bumble along, putting things

389
00:14:27,430 --> 00:14:29,830
out, pulling them back, putting them back in,

390
00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:30,690
pulling them out.

391
00:14:31,030 --> 00:14:33,150
And the Democrats are loving this.

392
00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:35,890
As the Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to dog

393
00:14:35,890 --> 00:14:39,330
the Trump administration, Democratic lawmakers say that the

394
00:14:39,330 --> 00:14:41,550
U.S. Government is withholding evidence that could

395
00:14:41,550 --> 00:14:43,590
implicate the president in criminal activity.

396
00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:46,790
These are the files that the FBI has

397
00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:51,530
removed from their public Department of Justice database.

398
00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:54,890
The yellow files here are the files that

399
00:14:54,890 --> 00:14:56,370
President Trump is hiding.

400
00:14:56,910 --> 00:14:59,690
The yellow files here are investigations with a

401
00:14:59,690 --> 00:15:01,690
woman who was abused as a minor and

402
00:15:01,690 --> 00:15:04,430
who alleged that Donald Trump was her abuser.

403
00:15:04,990 --> 00:15:07,650
Dozens of FBI witness interviews appear to be

404
00:15:07,650 --> 00:15:09,770
missing from public records, according to U.S.

405
00:15:09,870 --> 00:15:10,630
media reports.

406
00:15:10,630 --> 00:15:13,750
And numerous alleged victims say they cannot find

407
00:15:13,750 --> 00:15:16,270
their testimonies in the 3 million new documents

408
00:15:16,270 --> 00:15:18,270
released by the Department of Justice at the

409
00:15:18,270 --> 00:15:18,970
end of January.

410
00:15:19,330 --> 00:15:21,030
At the State of the Union on Tuesday,

411
00:15:21,310 --> 00:15:24,050
Democratic lawmakers wore pins demanding the release of

412
00:15:24,050 --> 00:15:26,830
the missing files and brought a dozen Epstein

413
00:15:26,830 --> 00:15:28,190
accusers as their guests.

414
00:15:28,610 --> 00:15:30,450
Where are the rest of the files?

415
00:15:30,730 --> 00:15:33,170
The truth must come out.

416
00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:39,810
Why are there no investigations when there are

417
00:15:39,810 --> 00:15:42,430
plenty of people in these files to investigate?

418
00:15:42,770 --> 00:15:44,950
Since the files have been made public, there

419
00:15:44,950 --> 00:15:47,910
have been high profile arrests and investigations around

420
00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:49,950
the world into those named in the documents.

421
00:15:50,290 --> 00:15:52,650
But no such investigation has been opened in

422
00:15:52,650 --> 00:15:53,530
the United States.

423
00:15:53,930 --> 00:15:56,210
The White House has dismissed claims of Trump's

424
00:15:56,210 --> 00:15:59,110
involvement with Epstein's criminal sex ring as false

425
00:15:59,110 --> 00:16:00,290
and sensationalist.

426
00:16:00,550 --> 00:16:02,270
And the president did not mention the late

427
00:16:02,270 --> 00:16:03,730
sex offender in his speech.

428
00:16:04,270 --> 00:16:06,550
In response to the allegations, the Department of

429
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:09,530
Justice denied any wrongdoing, saying that any missing

430
00:16:09,530 --> 00:16:12,090
documents were either duplicates or part of an

431
00:16:12,090 --> 00:16:13,810
ongoing federal investigation.

432
00:16:14,170 --> 00:16:15,670
All right, so let's talk about the 13

433
00:16:15,670 --> 00:16:17,530
year old for a second, because what we're

434
00:16:17,530 --> 00:16:22,190
missing here is these so-called victims and

435
00:16:22,190 --> 00:16:23,950
how old they were and what they were

436
00:16:23,950 --> 00:16:25,130
a victim of.

437
00:16:25,750 --> 00:16:28,270
And let's also mention the fact that we're

438
00:16:28,270 --> 00:16:31,210
dealing with a use of language, which the

439
00:16:31,210 --> 00:16:32,850
Democrats are quite good or the left in

440
00:16:32,850 --> 00:16:36,690
general is good at and changing a customer

441
00:16:36,690 --> 00:16:41,110
of a prostitute to an abuse, changing the

442
00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:44,090
name of a john to an abuser and

443
00:16:44,090 --> 00:16:46,050
changing the name of a sex worker to

444
00:16:46,050 --> 00:16:46,610
a victim.

445
00:16:47,250 --> 00:16:47,350
Yes.

446
00:16:48,350 --> 00:16:50,610
Let's talk about they say victim, victim, victim

447
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:50,870
of these.

448
00:16:51,230 --> 00:16:53,790
Now, the question that never that never seems

449
00:16:53,790 --> 00:16:54,450
to be brought up.

450
00:16:54,450 --> 00:16:56,850
Does anyone ever ask any of the women

451
00:16:56,850 --> 00:16:58,690
who are or that have been.

452
00:16:59,470 --> 00:17:02,170
Kind of sequestered to to complain about this

453
00:17:02,170 --> 00:17:02,470
a lot.

454
00:17:02,850 --> 00:17:06,290
Have you paid any money for this process

455
00:17:06,290 --> 00:17:07,010
of abuse?

456
00:17:07,130 --> 00:17:09,349
And how old were you and how old

457
00:17:09,349 --> 00:17:10,250
were you at the time?

458
00:17:10,270 --> 00:17:11,750
And were you paid any money?

459
00:17:12,450 --> 00:17:15,190
I honestly, I don't want to sound callous,

460
00:17:15,710 --> 00:17:19,069
but I almost believe that these women found

461
00:17:19,069 --> 00:17:24,650
out what was being charged by the by

462
00:17:24,650 --> 00:17:26,589
the system, by the hope, by the what

463
00:17:26,589 --> 00:17:29,690
I call a whorehouse and what they were

464
00:17:29,690 --> 00:17:30,070
getting.

465
00:17:30,290 --> 00:17:31,330
And they felt gypped.

466
00:17:32,410 --> 00:17:35,350
Well, the timing of them coming out is

467
00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:36,510
always interesting.

468
00:17:36,830 --> 00:17:38,330
But I want to go to the 13

469
00:17:38,330 --> 00:17:39,550
year old because this is not a case

470
00:17:39,550 --> 00:17:41,410
that is unknown to the show.

471
00:17:41,470 --> 00:17:44,950
Even often referred to as the Katie Johnson

472
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:46,690
lawsuit or Jane Doe.

473
00:17:46,690 --> 00:17:52,090
Was filed in 2016, alleging incidents that took

474
00:17:52,090 --> 00:17:55,430
place in the summer of 1994 at Epstein's

475
00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:56,430
Manhattan pad.

476
00:17:57,410 --> 00:18:00,150
The victim, a 13 year old girl using

477
00:18:00,150 --> 00:18:02,950
the pseudonym Jane Doe slash Katie Johnson, claimed

478
00:18:02,950 --> 00:18:04,990
she was recruited under the guise of a

479
00:18:04,990 --> 00:18:05,770
modeling career.

480
00:18:06,590 --> 00:18:08,670
She alleged she was sexually abused by both

481
00:18:08,670 --> 00:18:11,130
Epstein and Trump on multiple occasions.

482
00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:13,170
Most notably, she claimed that during a fourth

483
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:15,890
encounter, Trump tied her to a bed and

484
00:18:15,890 --> 00:18:18,030
forcibly raped her while she pleaded for him

485
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:18,570
to stop.

486
00:18:19,390 --> 00:18:22,190
And this lawsuit included a sworn statement from

487
00:18:22,190 --> 00:18:27,530
a Tiffany Doe, so a pseudonym who claimed

488
00:18:27,530 --> 00:18:29,950
to be a party planner for Epstein and

489
00:18:29,950 --> 00:18:32,350
said she had personally witnessed the abuse.

490
00:18:33,250 --> 00:18:36,610
And the plaintiff said that Trump Trump had

491
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:38,710
threatened to have her and her family killed

492
00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:40,030
if she ever spoke out.

493
00:18:40,790 --> 00:18:43,250
Citing a 12 year old girl named Maria

494
00:18:43,250 --> 00:18:46,330
who had supposedly disappeared after similar instances.

495
00:18:46,350 --> 00:18:49,330
So this suit was first filed in California

496
00:18:49,330 --> 00:18:54,650
in 2016, dismissed by a California judge, refiled

497
00:18:54,650 --> 00:18:56,430
in 2016 in New York.

498
00:18:57,430 --> 00:19:01,010
October 2016, there was a press conference scheduled,

499
00:19:01,130 --> 00:19:03,150
I remember this, by her then attorney Lisa

500
00:19:03,150 --> 00:19:03,450
Bloom.

501
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:05,410
Remember the Lisa Bloom, the famous?

502
00:19:05,950 --> 00:19:07,550
Yes, the famous Lisa Bloom.

503
00:19:07,950 --> 00:19:09,750
This is when the plaintiff was going public,

504
00:19:09,910 --> 00:19:12,870
but the press conference was canceled very last

505
00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:13,190
minute.

506
00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:15,830
She stated her client was living in fear

507
00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:16,910
due to death threats.

508
00:19:17,070 --> 00:19:20,630
Then November 4th, days before the presidential election,

509
00:19:21,110 --> 00:19:25,410
the lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff's

510
00:19:25,410 --> 00:19:29,130
legal team without any public explanation.

511
00:19:30,990 --> 00:19:33,810
So there was no evidence.

512
00:19:34,370 --> 00:19:36,030
The lawsuit was withdrawn.

513
00:19:36,370 --> 00:19:38,390
But here's the fun part.

514
00:19:39,070 --> 00:19:42,810
Norm Lebeau, does that name ring any bells

515
00:19:42,810 --> 00:19:43,250
for you?

516
00:19:43,810 --> 00:19:47,230
No, he was a TV producer, crack smoking

517
00:19:47,230 --> 00:19:50,710
TV producer who did sensationalist stories about celebrities.

518
00:19:51,050 --> 00:19:53,030
He worked for the Jerry Springer show.

519
00:19:53,750 --> 00:19:55,810
He's the guy that started all of this.

520
00:19:56,850 --> 00:19:59,550
He he's the one that started publishing articles.

521
00:19:59,790 --> 00:20:02,130
He's the one he is behind a lot

522
00:20:02,130 --> 00:20:02,990
of these things.

523
00:20:04,210 --> 00:20:09,210
You know that Kurt Cobain was killed by

524
00:20:09,210 --> 00:20:11,010
his wife and this kind of stuff.

525
00:20:11,770 --> 00:20:14,370
So a lawsuit that was put in withdrawn

526
00:20:14,370 --> 00:20:15,870
right before the elections.

527
00:20:16,370 --> 00:20:19,350
The whole thing is very, very flimsy at

528
00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:19,810
best.

529
00:20:21,490 --> 00:20:26,810
So, you know, OK, show me something, show

530
00:20:26,810 --> 00:20:29,350
me something that's real, not some email that

531
00:20:29,350 --> 00:20:31,130
says I got a torture video.

532
00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:32,430
We already discussed that.

533
00:20:33,150 --> 00:20:34,450
Have you looked at Pornhub?

534
00:20:37,540 --> 00:20:40,500
So, yes, Jeffrey Epstein was a creep.

535
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:44,080
All my personal opinion, any but any older

536
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,480
guy who wants to have sex with a

537
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,540
16, 17, 18 year old, probably legal in

538
00:20:50,540 --> 00:20:52,420
the states that were doing it or on

539
00:20:52,420 --> 00:20:55,260
an island, you know, they got a lot

540
00:20:55,260 --> 00:20:55,880
of problems.

541
00:20:56,300 --> 00:20:58,280
But if it was for money, well, there's

542
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,600
other discussions that need to be had.

543
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:05,840
But the whole thing is being manipulated and

544
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,100
turned into a strategy for the Democrat Party.

545
00:21:09,380 --> 00:21:10,520
Yeah, it's a total.

546
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,200
This is the this is the Russian hoax.

547
00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:16,720
This is the Russian hoax of the second

548
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,440
administration.

549
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,180
Russian hoax is over.

550
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,540
They can't talk about it anymore.

551
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:22,640
I'm still lingering effects of it.

552
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,700
People still believe it.

553
00:21:24,140 --> 00:21:25,440
And this is the new one.

554
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,200
And this came up.

555
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,940
This is the Trump screws little kids.

556
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,780
And yes, he's a rapist.

557
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:34,040
But it's a hoax.

558
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,520
I think it's going even further.

559
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,000
And it's really interesting.

560
00:21:37,180 --> 00:21:39,400
And and I see people all over the

561
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,300
political spectrum falling for this.

562
00:21:42,060 --> 00:21:44,180
I think many of our own listeners or

563
00:21:44,180 --> 00:21:45,120
maybe formalists.

564
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:47,520
Obviously, some of our own listeners fall for

565
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:47,680
it.

566
00:21:47,860 --> 00:21:51,580
And and the idea here is all billionaires.

567
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,520
Anybody who is power is a billionaire is

568
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,220
successful.

569
00:21:56,900 --> 00:21:58,560
They're all in cahoots with Trump.

570
00:21:59,420 --> 00:22:01,380
And they're going to get it seriously.

571
00:22:01,660 --> 00:22:03,320
And and you need to this.

572
00:22:03,460 --> 00:22:05,160
These people are the problem.

573
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,320
They're the Silicon Valley guys.

574
00:22:07,780 --> 00:22:09,900
If you're Silicon Valley and you're Jewish, you

575
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:12,200
got two strikes against you.

576
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,540
Zuckerberg, Teal, all these guys.

577
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,040
And they're all in cahoots with Trump and

578
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,320
Trump is protecting them.

579
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,800
And this was completely laid out by none

580
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:22,880
other than the twerp.

581
00:22:25,860 --> 00:22:27,360
Condoleezza Rice, Condi.

582
00:22:29,380 --> 00:22:30,720
Well, she's not the twerp.

583
00:22:30,820 --> 00:22:32,040
Susan Rice is the twerp.

584
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:32,680
Oh, I'm sorry.

585
00:22:32,980 --> 00:22:34,120
Well, she's a twerp, too.

586
00:22:35,140 --> 00:22:38,620
Condoleezza Rice, who wrote herself an email to

587
00:22:38,620 --> 00:22:41,000
be able to say later, yeah, no, all

588
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:41,180
that.

589
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:41,700
No, no, no.

590
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,180
That's not Condoleezza Rice.

591
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,080
Was that Susan Rice?

592
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,160
That's Susan Rice.

593
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,060
Well, Condoleezza Rice is the old.

594
00:22:48,420 --> 00:22:49,980
She worked in the Bush administration.

595
00:22:50,180 --> 00:22:52,320
Oh, she teaches at Stanford.

596
00:22:52,580 --> 00:22:53,320
Well, she's a problem.

597
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,580
What did she do?

598
00:22:56,780 --> 00:22:58,860
Listen, listen to what she said on this

599
00:22:58,860 --> 00:23:00,920
podcast with Preet Bharara.

600
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,420
And she's teeing it up.

601
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,580
She's teeing it up for the Democrat Party.

602
00:23:05,820 --> 00:23:07,660
Has the first year approximated what you expected?

603
00:23:08,780 --> 00:23:10,480
Has it been less bad than you expected

604
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,060
or worse?

605
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,780
Well, I expected it to be very bad.

606
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,340
Susan Rice, not Condoleezza Rice.

607
00:23:18,580 --> 00:23:19,420
Isn't this Condi?

608
00:23:21,630 --> 00:23:23,930
I think this is Condoleezza Rice.

609
00:23:24,670 --> 00:23:26,070
No, this is Susan Rice.

610
00:23:26,290 --> 00:23:28,390
Condoleezza Rice isn't even in this story.

611
00:23:29,030 --> 00:23:29,650
I thought this was.

612
00:23:29,930 --> 00:23:30,990
It's a Rice lady.

613
00:23:32,130 --> 00:23:33,190
This is the twerp.

614
00:23:33,250 --> 00:23:34,010
This is the twerp.

615
00:23:34,050 --> 00:23:34,490
I knew it.

616
00:23:34,530 --> 00:23:35,550
I just had the name wrong.

617
00:23:35,650 --> 00:23:36,890
This is Susan Rice then.

618
00:23:37,150 --> 00:23:38,550
Are you sure it's not Condoleezza Rice?

619
00:23:39,070 --> 00:23:42,110
Condoleezza Rice is a tall woman with a

620
00:23:42,110 --> 00:23:43,310
big square head.

621
00:23:43,310 --> 00:23:46,550
Who talks like a patrician.

622
00:23:48,550 --> 00:23:51,050
I'm pretty sure this is Condoleezza Rice.

623
00:23:53,810 --> 00:23:56,150
Yes, I clipped it myself.

624
00:23:57,390 --> 00:24:00,810
Did you visually see the person?

625
00:24:00,970 --> 00:24:01,390
Yes.

626
00:24:01,990 --> 00:24:03,390
Well, she was sitting down so I couldn't

627
00:24:03,390 --> 00:24:04,710
tell if she was tiny or not.

628
00:24:07,430 --> 00:24:09,750
Yes, this is Condoleezza Rice.

629
00:24:09,770 --> 00:24:11,730
No, it's not Condoleezza Rice.

630
00:24:13,310 --> 00:24:14,670
I hate the fact that I have to

631
00:24:14,670 --> 00:24:18,510
contradict you on this because Condoleezza Rice is

632
00:24:18,510 --> 00:24:20,910
not involved in any of this and it's

633
00:24:20,910 --> 00:24:21,930
ruining your point.

634
00:24:25,690 --> 00:24:27,750
Well, let me go look at my history.

635
00:24:28,170 --> 00:24:31,830
I'm 99% certain this is Condoleezza Rice

636
00:24:31,830 --> 00:24:35,750
talking and she may ruin my...

637
00:24:36,610 --> 00:24:37,370
Here she is.

638
00:24:38,150 --> 00:24:41,050
This is Susan Rice.

639
00:24:41,130 --> 00:24:41,490
You're right.

640
00:24:43,310 --> 00:24:43,870
Okay.

641
00:24:43,870 --> 00:24:45,490
Thank you for catching that.

642
00:24:45,610 --> 00:24:46,650
Thank you for saving me.

643
00:24:47,630 --> 00:24:48,750
It's Susan Rice.

644
00:24:49,670 --> 00:24:51,410
So, is my point valid again now?

645
00:24:52,550 --> 00:24:56,050
Well, the problem is that when you misstep,

646
00:24:56,170 --> 00:24:57,850
when you're making a good argument...

647
00:24:57,850 --> 00:24:59,770
A good argument and then I ruin it

648
00:24:59,770 --> 00:24:59,870
by...

649
00:24:59,870 --> 00:25:01,890
And then you misstep by bringing in somebody

650
00:25:01,890 --> 00:25:03,350
who's got nothing to do with anything because

651
00:25:03,350 --> 00:25:05,990
of a mistake and the names being similar.

652
00:25:06,210 --> 00:25:07,610
I didn't even think about that.

653
00:25:07,850 --> 00:25:08,470
So, here's what we'll do.

654
00:25:08,610 --> 00:25:09,050
Here's what we'll do.

655
00:25:09,130 --> 00:25:10,850
We'll cut all that out of the show.

656
00:25:10,870 --> 00:25:11,710
You're not cutting it.

657
00:25:11,830 --> 00:25:12,670
No one will ever know.

658
00:25:12,670 --> 00:25:14,330
Susan Rice, who...

659
00:25:14,330 --> 00:25:15,890
I had this clip in the last show.

660
00:25:15,950 --> 00:25:17,350
She is a drip.

661
00:25:17,490 --> 00:25:19,310
Well, I have four clips because it was

662
00:25:19,310 --> 00:25:22,070
super interesting all the things she actually said.

663
00:25:22,590 --> 00:25:23,990
I was like, holy moly.

664
00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:25,210
She's part of the scheme.

665
00:25:25,790 --> 00:25:27,690
And she's the one that wrote the email,

666
00:25:27,870 --> 00:25:28,130
correct?

667
00:25:29,690 --> 00:25:30,310
To herself?

668
00:25:30,510 --> 00:25:33,330
Yeah, she's the one who wrote the cover

669
00:25:33,330 --> 00:25:35,010
your ass email at the end of her

670
00:25:35,010 --> 00:25:35,430
term.

671
00:25:35,610 --> 00:25:35,850
Yes, exactly.

672
00:25:35,870 --> 00:25:37,130
Yeah, that's Susan Rice.

673
00:25:37,270 --> 00:25:37,950
Susan Rice.

674
00:25:38,150 --> 00:25:38,250
Okay.

675
00:25:38,510 --> 00:25:40,610
Condoleezza Rice was out of the business 10

676
00:25:40,610 --> 00:25:40,710
years earlier.

677
00:25:40,830 --> 00:25:42,550
Condoleezza Rice is dead to me.

678
00:25:42,670 --> 00:25:44,530
She's dead to me, doesn't exist.

679
00:25:44,890 --> 00:25:45,530
Susan Rice.

680
00:25:45,630 --> 00:25:48,270
Susan Rice, teeing it up for the Democrat

681
00:25:48,270 --> 00:25:48,810
Party.

682
00:25:49,130 --> 00:25:50,950
Has the first year approximated what you expected?

683
00:25:52,030 --> 00:25:53,770
Has it been less bad than you expected

684
00:25:53,770 --> 00:25:54,330
or worse?

685
00:25:55,330 --> 00:25:58,070
Well, I expected it to be very bad.

686
00:25:59,390 --> 00:26:01,590
And I guess I would confess that it's

687
00:26:01,590 --> 00:26:03,870
probably worse than I anticipated.

688
00:26:04,670 --> 00:26:07,390
But not because they're doing things that surprised

689
00:26:07,390 --> 00:26:07,650
me.

690
00:26:07,750 --> 00:26:09,410
They told us exactly what they were going

691
00:26:09,410 --> 00:26:09,750
to do.

692
00:26:10,140 --> 00:26:10,430
Yeah.

693
00:26:11,070 --> 00:26:14,190
You know, we recall Trump saying multiple times

694
00:26:14,190 --> 00:26:15,910
on the campaign trail, if you vote for

695
00:26:15,910 --> 00:26:18,050
me that this one time you'll never have

696
00:26:18,050 --> 00:26:18,710
to vote again.

697
00:26:19,210 --> 00:26:22,590
Or his, you know, pledge to use the

698
00:26:22,590 --> 00:26:25,390
American military against the, quote, enemy within.

699
00:26:26,330 --> 00:26:30,270
You know, you had Stephen Miller foreshadowing not

700
00:26:30,270 --> 00:26:33,090
only the use of the Insurrection Act, but

701
00:26:33,090 --> 00:26:36,450
potentially the suspension of habeas corpus and the

702
00:26:36,450 --> 00:26:38,010
imposition of martial law.

703
00:26:38,590 --> 00:26:40,410
All of these are, you know, they tell

704
00:26:40,410 --> 00:26:43,830
you, interestingly, where they intend to head.

705
00:26:43,910 --> 00:26:46,850
But what surprised me is the speed and

706
00:26:46,850 --> 00:26:53,210
the efficacy of their efforts to do what

707
00:26:53,210 --> 00:26:54,190
they set out to do.

708
00:26:54,250 --> 00:26:57,550
And the fact that they have faced very

709
00:26:57,550 --> 00:27:00,650
little resistance from members of their own party,

710
00:27:01,310 --> 00:27:04,910
from the private sector, from civil society leaders

711
00:27:04,910 --> 00:27:07,890
and university heads and law firms and all

712
00:27:07,890 --> 00:27:10,670
of the, you know, the pillars of society

713
00:27:10,670 --> 00:27:14,330
media that have, you know, rolled over and

714
00:27:14,330 --> 00:27:16,730
played dead or hidden under rocks.

715
00:27:17,130 --> 00:27:17,930
Yeah, I love this.

716
00:27:18,030 --> 00:27:20,110
So she sets it up by saying Project

717
00:27:20,110 --> 00:27:20,710
2025.

718
00:27:21,250 --> 00:27:22,050
We all knew it.

719
00:27:22,590 --> 00:27:25,650
They've held to it entirely, completely to it.

720
00:27:26,470 --> 00:27:28,410
And they're going to get theirs.

721
00:27:29,150 --> 00:27:30,530
Do you think that after a year of

722
00:27:30,530 --> 00:27:30,830
this?

723
00:27:30,930 --> 00:27:33,610
No, wait, I could misclip this somehow, probably.

724
00:27:33,810 --> 00:27:35,450
Whether you're university, whether you're.

725
00:27:35,450 --> 00:27:37,830
Oh, sorry about that.

726
00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:39,670
Play a long game, not this short game

727
00:27:39,670 --> 00:27:40,930
that has been so detrimental.

728
00:27:41,850 --> 00:27:45,810
So very specifically, if the House changes hands

729
00:27:45,810 --> 00:27:48,830
in a few months, what should be the

730
00:27:48,830 --> 00:27:51,290
top priority or two in terms of that

731
00:27:51,290 --> 00:27:55,270
accountability that you're speaking of for Democratic leadership

732
00:27:55,270 --> 00:27:55,830
in the House?

733
00:27:56,610 --> 00:28:00,810
Well, first of all, when the Democrats win

734
00:28:00,810 --> 00:28:02,590
the House, which I believe they will, possibly

735
00:28:02,590 --> 00:28:06,490
the Senate, you know, they need to appropriately

736
00:28:06,490 --> 00:28:08,370
focus on the needs of the American people,

737
00:28:08,510 --> 00:28:10,950
which Donald Trump and the Republicans could give

738
00:28:10,950 --> 00:28:14,930
a damn about whether it's health care, housing

739
00:28:14,930 --> 00:28:22,530
costs, food prices, electricity prices, runaway tech companies

740
00:28:22,530 --> 00:28:26,310
that are, you know, lining their own pockets

741
00:28:26,310 --> 00:28:29,230
at the expense of our children, our jobs,

742
00:28:29,230 --> 00:28:34,090
our interests, maybe even our very existential future.

743
00:28:34,490 --> 00:28:35,270
Existential future?

744
00:28:35,270 --> 00:28:37,030
There's a lot of stuff that we need

745
00:28:37,030 --> 00:28:39,030
to do in service of the American people.

746
00:28:39,290 --> 00:28:41,550
But in addition to that, there will be

747
00:28:41,550 --> 00:28:42,770
an accountability agenda.

748
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,530
You know, companies already are starting to hear

749
00:28:46,530 --> 00:28:48,250
they better preserve their documents.

750
00:28:48,750 --> 00:28:50,150
They better be ready for subpoenas.

751
00:28:50,430 --> 00:28:53,690
If they've done something wrong, they'll be held

752
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:54,110
accountable.

753
00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:58,070
And if they haven't broken the law, good

754
00:28:58,070 --> 00:28:58,470
for them.

755
00:28:58,470 --> 00:29:00,030
If they've done the right things, good for

756
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:00,270
them.

757
00:29:00,450 --> 00:29:03,470
That also will be noted and remembered.

758
00:29:04,350 --> 00:29:06,310
But, you know, this is not going to

759
00:29:06,310 --> 00:29:11,950
be an instance of, you know, forgive and

760
00:29:11,950 --> 00:29:12,410
forget.

761
00:29:13,250 --> 00:29:15,610
The damage that these people are doing is

762
00:29:15,610 --> 00:29:18,970
too severe to the American people and to

763
00:29:18,970 --> 00:29:19,890
our national interest.

764
00:29:21,510 --> 00:29:25,810
She's threatening everybody, but she's really confirming to

765
00:29:25,810 --> 00:29:28,610
the Democrat party and the people who vote

766
00:29:28,610 --> 00:29:32,650
Democrat, but also to anybody who is whipped

767
00:29:32,650 --> 00:29:34,150
up into this Epstein thing.

768
00:29:34,710 --> 00:29:35,910
You've got to hate these people.

769
00:29:36,050 --> 00:29:37,650
You've got to hate billionaires.

770
00:29:37,830 --> 00:29:40,830
You've got to hate tech companies, which is

771
00:29:40,830 --> 00:29:43,330
so inherently un-American.

772
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,740
You know, I grew up like, hey, you

773
00:29:47,740 --> 00:29:48,960
see that guy with the Rolls Royce?

774
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,160
Yeah, you could be that guy.

775
00:29:50,220 --> 00:29:51,040
This is America.

776
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,240
But now everybody who's successful, everybody who's doing

777
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,360
anything with Trump, anybody who's been helping him

778
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,640
out, we're going to get you.

779
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,080
We're going to get you and everybody will

780
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:02,680
hate you.

781
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,580
And this is like I said, I had

782
00:30:05,580 --> 00:30:06,100
this clip.

783
00:30:06,260 --> 00:30:08,700
This was the thing about that little ditty

784
00:30:08,700 --> 00:30:10,280
at the end about the corporations.

785
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,100
I think it has to do, which follows

786
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:16,540
into some clips I have about the DC

787
00:30:16,540 --> 00:30:18,440
sewage problem.

788
00:30:19,580 --> 00:30:21,520
It's pretty smelly out here in the most

789
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,700
beautiful city in America.

790
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:27,360
It is that that is that is aimed

791
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,600
at the pulling.

792
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,500
I believe it's aimed at the pulling of

793
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:32,800
all the DEI stuff.

794
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:37,200
The corporations are noticing and ESG, all the

795
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,840
corporations noticing that, you know, even Larry Fink

796
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,200
of BlackRock, who promoted the idea of ESG

797
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:44,900
in particular.

798
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:50,560
But it was like it's losing money for

799
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,160
these companies because you're putting incompetent people into

800
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,760
positions where they need where there has to

801
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,200
be some there has to be some knowledge

802
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:57,680
base.

803
00:30:57,820 --> 00:30:59,440
You have to you have to you can't

804
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,740
just take anybody off the street and make

805
00:31:01,740 --> 00:31:02,440
him a CEO.

806
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,760
You can't take anybody off the street and

807
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,240
make them into some, you know, running some

808
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,400
department that they have no clue about what

809
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:10,920
it is or what it does or what

810
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,460
how it works, as opposed to what the

811
00:31:14,460 --> 00:31:16,560
Democrats are trying to do, which is exactly

812
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,020
that, which, of course, undermines the entire economic

813
00:31:21,020 --> 00:31:23,960
system that we have a capitalism because they're

814
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:24,940
anti-capitalist.

815
00:31:25,020 --> 00:31:25,960
And a lot of them will say it.

816
00:31:26,140 --> 00:31:26,840
Yes, they come out.

817
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,040
And many of them would just say, yeah,

818
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,300
well, yeah, I am a communist.

819
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:30,900
It's the way to go.

820
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,800
It just hasn't never worked out so far

821
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,160
because it hasn't been done right.

822
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,060
That commentary, which never seems to end, never

823
00:31:38,060 --> 00:31:38,380
will.

824
00:31:38,540 --> 00:31:40,000
Someone also sent me a link today.

825
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:45,180
It was a short essay about Americans confidence

826
00:31:45,180 --> 00:31:48,100
in government from 1958 to today.

827
00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:50,880
And in 1958, it was somewhere in the

828
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:51,920
low 70s.

829
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,660
And today it's 17 percent.

830
00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:57,320
Yeah, which is yeah.

831
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,080
And the point is that when it gets

832
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,020
this low, this is when interesting things take

833
00:32:03,020 --> 00:32:03,480
place.

834
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:05,740
You know, you get the overthrow of the

835
00:32:05,740 --> 00:32:06,100
emperor.

836
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,020
You get all kinds of things happening.

837
00:32:08,020 --> 00:32:10,500
And I think MAGA came in the first

838
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:11,900
time at the right moment.

839
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,400
But I don't know if if if Trump

840
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,500
has the winning edge on this now, because

841
00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:20,940
I just see too many people severely negative.

842
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,500
All trust, trust is lost in all institutions.

843
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,140
Covid had a big, although actually confidence went

844
00:32:28,140 --> 00:32:29,980
up for a little bit during Covid across

845
00:32:29,980 --> 00:32:32,240
the board, but now it's completely now people

846
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,120
are dying, you know, blood clots everywhere.

847
00:32:35,340 --> 00:32:36,980
People have lost all confidence.

848
00:32:36,980 --> 00:32:39,720
And so there could be a completely different

849
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,740
person who comes along and says, hey, I

850
00:32:41,740 --> 00:32:44,480
can motivate all these people.

851
00:32:45,620 --> 00:32:47,920
I think it's an interesting situation for the

852
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:48,600
United States.

853
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:51,320
Yeah, I agree.

854
00:32:54,180 --> 00:32:57,480
So let's move from that unless you want

855
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:57,880
to finish.

856
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,480
No, no, no, that's no, I mean, I

857
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,500
just want to make your point.

858
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:03,480
Yeah.

859
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,160
But the only point I want to make

860
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,480
towards people who are mad at us, it's

861
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,160
like we're doing this because that's all we

862
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:11,420
do.

863
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,340
We tell you the truth as we see

864
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:16,240
it, not because we're paid, not because we're

865
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,940
Christian Zionists, not because we're controlled or blackmailed

866
00:33:20,940 --> 00:33:24,760
by Mossad or CIA, and unfortunately not because

867
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,820
anybody's paying us to do this.

868
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,620
So get a grip.

869
00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:35,000
I found that character in that one podcast

870
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,860
that condemned us to be pathetic.

871
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:38,440
Well, of course.

872
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:43,480
But anyway, so the thesis has not changed

873
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,780
about the whorehouse, and I'm still going through

874
00:33:46,780 --> 00:33:47,600
photos.

875
00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:50,860
This is quite, quite interesting.

876
00:33:51,220 --> 00:33:52,660
So one of the things I'm going to

877
00:33:52,660 --> 00:33:53,920
do, I'm going to start posting either on

878
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,780
my Twitter account, The Real Dvorak, or I'd

879
00:33:56,780 --> 00:33:57,800
probably put him in the newsletter.

880
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,240
Occasionally you run into some screwball photo.

881
00:34:01,660 --> 00:34:03,280
I ran into one the other day, but

882
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,440
I started, I had to...

883
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:05,880
Hold on, hold on, hold on a second,

884
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:06,640
hold on a second.

885
00:34:08,580 --> 00:34:11,340
Somebody tell me you're recording the stream, please.

886
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,540
Let me know that you're recording the stream.

887
00:34:14,420 --> 00:34:15,679
You didn't push the red button.

888
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:17,520
I have a feeling I may not have

889
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:18,360
pushed the red button.

890
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,460
Someone's always recording the stream.

891
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,040
So as long as you're recording the stream,

892
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,320
I'm happy.

893
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,699
Is somebody recording the stream?

894
00:34:31,469 --> 00:34:33,429
We're going to pray someone's recording the stream.

895
00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:36,850
Otherwise, this will be a very strange podcast.

896
00:34:38,190 --> 00:34:39,070
Oh, yeah, Darren O has it.

897
00:34:39,170 --> 00:34:39,949
Darren, you're the man.

898
00:34:40,110 --> 00:34:41,590
All right, so I knew he'd have it.

899
00:34:41,710 --> 00:34:42,290
All right, continue.

900
00:34:42,670 --> 00:34:43,010
We're good.

901
00:34:44,510 --> 00:34:46,090
Darren must have a great archive.

902
00:34:47,130 --> 00:34:48,449
Darren is phenomenal, man.

903
00:34:48,570 --> 00:34:50,150
Without Darren, we'd be bust.

904
00:34:50,850 --> 00:34:52,270
So where was I?

905
00:34:53,969 --> 00:34:55,810
I was talking about something.

906
00:34:56,650 --> 00:34:58,510
I can't roll it back to find out

907
00:34:58,510 --> 00:34:59,450
what you were saying.

908
00:35:00,590 --> 00:35:01,810
Sorry, I can't.

909
00:35:01,830 --> 00:35:02,530
I just can't.

910
00:35:03,890 --> 00:35:06,050
You come back to me, but you...

911
00:35:06,050 --> 00:35:08,550
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

912
00:35:08,650 --> 00:35:11,230
You were talking about the character on the

913
00:35:11,230 --> 00:35:11,610
podcast.

914
00:35:11,930 --> 00:35:12,930
You thought he was pathetic.

915
00:35:14,190 --> 00:35:15,050
Yeah, yeah.

916
00:35:16,270 --> 00:35:19,530
And about not getting paid by Mossad.

917
00:35:19,730 --> 00:35:21,410
Yeah, we don't get paid by Mossad.

918
00:35:22,810 --> 00:35:24,650
I don't know why they should send us

919
00:35:24,650 --> 00:35:26,650
money anyway, just because we do a good

920
00:35:26,650 --> 00:35:27,530
job of analysis.

921
00:35:29,630 --> 00:35:31,930
So I wanted to switch gears and move

922
00:35:31,930 --> 00:35:32,450
to...

923
00:35:32,450 --> 00:35:34,790
Because I thought Susan Rice's commentary, which was

924
00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:39,110
about, I think was about DEI, brings us

925
00:35:39,110 --> 00:35:40,190
to the sewage thing.

926
00:35:40,810 --> 00:35:44,950
And our national treasure, NPR did a thing

927
00:35:44,950 --> 00:35:45,190
on it.

928
00:35:45,190 --> 00:35:47,070
It's not clear what caused the Potomac sewage

929
00:35:47,070 --> 00:35:47,390
spill.

930
00:35:47,590 --> 00:35:49,250
The pipe is from the 1960s.

931
00:35:49,470 --> 00:35:50,870
In an open letter, the head of the

932
00:35:50,870 --> 00:35:53,990
utility that manages the line, DC Water, echoed

933
00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:56,030
the risks that scientists like McGuire describe.

934
00:35:56,450 --> 00:35:59,250
Old infrastructure, population growth, and climate change.

935
00:35:59,670 --> 00:36:01,210
The utility has said it found signs of

936
00:36:01,210 --> 00:36:03,790
corrosion during an inspection about a decade ago.

937
00:36:04,270 --> 00:36:06,550
McGuire says the section that broke was slated

938
00:36:06,550 --> 00:36:07,170
for repair.

939
00:36:07,410 --> 00:36:09,330
So hopefully this is a little bit of

940
00:36:09,330 --> 00:36:10,810
a kick in the pants for everyone.

941
00:36:11,110 --> 00:36:12,830
Because she says the risks around the country

942
00:36:12,830 --> 00:36:13,490
are growing.

943
00:36:13,730 --> 00:36:15,530
We already have a chronic sort of slow

944
00:36:15,530 --> 00:36:15,910
bleed.

945
00:36:16,190 --> 00:36:20,770
But if we have a chronic explosion problem,

946
00:36:20,770 --> 00:36:23,050
that's going to be much more impactful than

947
00:36:23,050 --> 00:36:23,870
what we already have.

948
00:36:24,230 --> 00:36:26,350
President Trump has tried to blame local Democratic

949
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:27,270
leaders for the accident.

950
00:36:27,790 --> 00:36:30,130
However, DC Water is under federal oversight.

951
00:36:30,570 --> 00:36:32,910
The Environmental Protection Agency said it's committed to

952
00:36:32,910 --> 00:36:35,350
fulfilling its oversight role and to helping make

953
00:36:35,350 --> 00:36:37,770
sure the recovery happens as quickly as possible.

954
00:36:38,110 --> 00:36:41,350
The ultimate authority that really needs to be

955
00:36:41,350 --> 00:36:44,770
aggressive in addressing this is the Environmental Protection

956
00:36:44,770 --> 00:36:45,190
Agency.

957
00:36:45,550 --> 00:36:47,830
That's Mike Jarrell, another scientist at the Chesapeake

958
00:36:47,830 --> 00:36:48,550
Bay Foundation.

959
00:36:48,550 --> 00:36:50,630
He says the EPA also has to be

960
00:36:50,630 --> 00:36:53,210
the one leading programs to upgrade old sewer

961
00:36:53,210 --> 00:36:55,270
lines, like the one that broke in Maryland.

962
00:36:55,670 --> 00:36:57,470
Michael Copley, NPR News.

963
00:36:58,290 --> 00:36:58,630
Okay.

964
00:36:59,430 --> 00:37:00,250
So, okay.

965
00:37:00,370 --> 00:37:02,170
Yeah, now somehow we got to blame the

966
00:37:02,170 --> 00:37:03,730
EPA for this local issue.

967
00:37:04,030 --> 00:37:06,590
So let's listen to the Wendy Bell Show,

968
00:37:07,830 --> 00:37:10,590
the female right-winger that does it.

969
00:37:10,670 --> 00:37:11,390
Is this a podcast?

970
00:37:11,970 --> 00:37:12,630
No, no.

971
00:37:12,690 --> 00:37:14,330
She's a radio person.

972
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:15,670
I talked about her in the last show.

973
00:37:15,690 --> 00:37:16,110
Oh, yeah, yeah.

974
00:37:16,110 --> 00:37:17,830
She does the stuff on Rumble in between.

975
00:37:17,830 --> 00:37:18,310
Yeah.

976
00:37:18,510 --> 00:37:20,990
And she is, this is from her show.

977
00:37:21,190 --> 00:37:23,270
This is your new go-to.

978
00:37:23,390 --> 00:37:24,110
It's your new savage.

979
00:37:24,370 --> 00:37:25,250
You got a lady now.

980
00:37:25,430 --> 00:37:26,210
This is your savage.

981
00:37:26,430 --> 00:37:27,390
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

982
00:37:28,510 --> 00:37:30,550
She, this is not an in-between thing.

983
00:37:30,590 --> 00:37:31,830
This is on her show.

984
00:37:31,990 --> 00:37:34,490
This shows out of Philadelphia and she discusses

985
00:37:34,490 --> 00:37:36,130
the same situation.

986
00:37:36,330 --> 00:37:38,610
This is, I have this one, 1.2,

987
00:37:38,650 --> 00:37:41,030
1.3. So we start with one and

988
00:37:41,030 --> 00:37:43,250
it's a little different take on what's going

989
00:37:43,250 --> 00:37:43,590
on.

990
00:37:43,710 --> 00:37:45,030
Well, if you need a reason to blow

991
00:37:45,030 --> 00:37:47,090
up DEI and put it away for good

992
00:37:47,090 --> 00:37:51,890
forever, it's this Potomac nightmare of raw waste

993
00:37:51,890 --> 00:37:54,770
that's still pumping into the Potomac River after

994
00:37:54,770 --> 00:37:55,290
a month.

995
00:37:56,190 --> 00:37:58,970
It's absolutely mind bending.

996
00:37:59,770 --> 00:38:01,590
So The Daily Caller did this great story

997
00:38:01,590 --> 00:38:02,690
and I want to read it to you.

998
00:38:02,790 --> 00:38:04,230
And that's all we're going to talk about

999
00:38:04,230 --> 00:38:04,810
in this segment.

1000
00:38:05,310 --> 00:38:06,690
It's that egregious.

1001
00:38:07,770 --> 00:38:09,730
DC Water, that's the name of the big

1002
00:38:09,730 --> 00:38:10,430
utility, right?

1003
00:38:10,470 --> 00:38:11,750
They have a CEO, new guy.

1004
00:38:11,850 --> 00:38:13,930
Well, wouldn't you know during Joe Biden's tenure,

1005
00:38:13,930 --> 00:38:15,990
he waved a magic wand and he put

1006
00:38:15,990 --> 00:38:17,430
some black guy in charge of it, which

1007
00:38:17,430 --> 00:38:17,930
is fine.

1008
00:38:18,350 --> 00:38:19,950
You would hope the black guy came from

1009
00:38:19,950 --> 00:38:21,350
some kind of a utility background.

1010
00:38:21,450 --> 00:38:22,470
We're going to talk about that in a

1011
00:38:22,470 --> 00:38:22,710
minute.

1012
00:38:23,330 --> 00:38:28,630
DC Water's CEO, that guy, oversaw $520 million

1013
00:38:28,630 --> 00:38:31,750
in DEI contract.

1014
00:38:32,150 --> 00:38:36,830
And coincidentally, the biggest sewage spill in US

1015
00:38:36,830 --> 00:38:37,190
history.

1016
00:38:37,670 --> 00:38:40,430
Like, oh my, let's chew a little bit

1017
00:38:40,430 --> 00:38:43,290
and see what the priorities of this utility

1018
00:38:43,290 --> 00:38:43,590
were.

1019
00:38:43,590 --> 00:38:44,050
Shall we?

1020
00:38:45,030 --> 00:38:47,190
While hundreds of millions of gallons of raw

1021
00:38:47,190 --> 00:38:50,510
sewage accumulated in its pipes, the District of

1022
00:38:50,510 --> 00:38:53,190
Columbia Water and Sewer Authority was focused on

1023
00:38:53,190 --> 00:38:57,070
diversity, equity, and other left wing priorities.

1024
00:38:57,210 --> 00:39:00,370
Setting the stage for what may be the

1025
00:39:00,370 --> 00:39:02,970
largest sewage spill in American history.

1026
00:39:03,070 --> 00:39:06,790
DC Water CEO, David Gaddis, as his name,

1027
00:39:06,890 --> 00:39:07,590
David Gaddis.

1028
00:39:07,750 --> 00:39:11,470
He's championed equity and diversity throughout his tenure.

1029
00:39:11,470 --> 00:39:13,910
Who was also named in a lawsuit against

1030
00:39:13,910 --> 00:39:18,410
his former employer for allegedly withholding information about

1031
00:39:18,410 --> 00:39:21,470
water contamination in Flint, Michigan.

1032
00:39:21,870 --> 00:39:23,150
Let's dig a little bit deeper into this

1033
00:39:23,150 --> 00:39:23,290
guy.

1034
00:39:23,410 --> 00:39:28,110
Before joining DC Water in 2018, Gaddis served

1035
00:39:28,110 --> 00:39:31,910
as Executive Vice President of Veolia North America

1036
00:39:31,910 --> 00:39:35,230
and CEO of Veolia Water Indianapolis.

1037
00:39:35,230 --> 00:39:39,410
It's the utility's first black CEO and the

1038
00:39:39,410 --> 00:39:42,770
first black executive to lead a major Indianapolis

1039
00:39:42,770 --> 00:39:44,450
utility, according to his bio.

1040
00:39:44,990 --> 00:39:45,410
Woo-hoo!

1041
00:39:46,910 --> 00:39:47,790
All right.

1042
00:39:48,690 --> 00:39:50,090
Well, we have this guy.

1043
00:39:50,530 --> 00:39:52,650
She could have done that in 30 seconds,

1044
00:39:52,950 --> 00:39:54,890
but I guess it's a radio show.

1045
00:39:55,110 --> 00:39:56,930
You have any idea how much I took

1046
00:39:56,930 --> 00:39:57,250
out?

1047
00:39:58,850 --> 00:39:59,570
I believe you.

1048
00:40:00,510 --> 00:40:02,350
Yeah, because you've read.

1049
00:40:02,670 --> 00:40:03,030
I know.

1050
00:40:03,070 --> 00:40:05,030
That's why I don't usually take from these

1051
00:40:05,030 --> 00:40:08,770
radio hosts, because they, in fact, it's even

1052
00:40:08,770 --> 00:40:10,990
a problem with Jesse Waters on TV.

1053
00:40:11,890 --> 00:40:13,450
They keep putting in interstitials.

1054
00:40:14,810 --> 00:40:18,050
They can't stop with the asides.

1055
00:40:18,930 --> 00:40:20,110
So here we go at part two.

1056
00:40:20,750 --> 00:40:24,370
Before Gaddis arrived, DC Water was considered a

1057
00:40:24,370 --> 00:40:26,930
global role model, commanding one of the highest

1058
00:40:26,930 --> 00:40:29,130
reputations in the water sector.

1059
00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:31,850
Gaddis sought to take the authority to the

1060
00:40:31,850 --> 00:40:36,850
next level by prioritizing equity for employees, customers,

1061
00:40:36,850 --> 00:40:38,190
communities, and contractors.

1062
00:40:38,910 --> 00:40:41,650
How about, I don't know, I'm just spitballing.

1063
00:40:41,690 --> 00:40:42,470
How about clean water?

1064
00:40:42,670 --> 00:40:44,850
Is that too much to ask for, just

1065
00:40:44,850 --> 00:40:46,470
water, clean water that doesn't make my hair

1066
00:40:46,470 --> 00:40:46,950
fall out?

1067
00:40:47,130 --> 00:40:49,070
He wanted to prioritize equity.

1068
00:40:49,610 --> 00:40:50,870
And so what did he do?

1069
00:40:51,370 --> 00:40:53,830
He started giving away money.

1070
00:40:54,270 --> 00:40:55,390
How much money?

1071
00:40:55,750 --> 00:41:00,770
Well, in fiscal year 2024, disadvantaged and women

1072
00:41:00,770 --> 00:41:08,770
-owned enterprises received about $520 million of business

1073
00:41:08,770 --> 00:41:12,590
diversity and inclusion grants.

1074
00:41:12,890 --> 00:41:14,470
They didn't need to prove that they knew

1075
00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:16,050
how to- Did you say business and

1076
00:41:16,050 --> 00:41:17,670
diversity inclusion grants?

1077
00:41:18,170 --> 00:41:19,490
But she said, okay.

1078
00:41:19,810 --> 00:41:20,330
Do anything.

1079
00:41:20,530 --> 00:41:22,070
They just needed to prove that they were

1080
00:41:22,070 --> 00:41:23,090
diverse.

1081
00:41:23,270 --> 00:41:25,250
That maybe they had some ovaries.

1082
00:41:25,450 --> 00:41:27,790
Maybe they had some melanin.

1083
00:41:27,830 --> 00:41:29,430
And it was like, yes, here's your money.

1084
00:41:29,590 --> 00:41:34,770
And yes, here's $520 million dollars.

1085
00:41:35,550 --> 00:41:38,810
Well, the EPA had to move in, in

1086
00:41:38,810 --> 00:41:41,590
April after Trump moved in, right?

1087
00:41:41,830 --> 00:41:44,910
And suspend some of these awards and grants,

1088
00:41:45,130 --> 00:41:47,710
no-bid awards to people who, by the

1089
00:41:47,710 --> 00:41:50,130
way, were proven to not fulfill their contract

1090
00:41:50,130 --> 00:41:50,810
obligations.

1091
00:41:51,170 --> 00:41:52,650
They wouldn't be held accountable.

1092
00:41:53,010 --> 00:41:54,230
There was no liability.

1093
00:41:54,590 --> 00:41:56,430
Like you can't make it up.

1094
00:41:56,470 --> 00:41:57,370
And now what do you see?

1095
00:41:57,430 --> 00:42:00,170
You see this mountain of human waste.

1096
00:42:00,730 --> 00:42:00,990
Okay.

1097
00:42:01,230 --> 00:42:04,790
So why is the president not railing on

1098
00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:06,670
this and getting rid of this guy and

1099
00:42:06,670 --> 00:42:07,970
changing things right away?

1100
00:42:08,030 --> 00:42:09,850
This is what he usually does so well.

1101
00:42:10,550 --> 00:42:12,970
There's a black guy, first of his kind.

1102
00:42:13,630 --> 00:42:16,690
It's just, and they got this Epstein thing

1103
00:42:16,690 --> 00:42:21,230
being charred, you know, being used as the

1104
00:42:21,230 --> 00:42:22,550
hoax of the month.

1105
00:42:23,450 --> 00:42:24,310
I don't know.

1106
00:42:24,650 --> 00:42:26,270
Here's the little kicker.

1107
00:42:26,310 --> 00:42:28,110
This kind of proves her point because she

1108
00:42:28,110 --> 00:42:28,990
brings this guy on.

1109
00:42:28,990 --> 00:42:31,530
I have one last clip after that where

1110
00:42:31,530 --> 00:42:35,810
he's introduced by a woman on another show.

1111
00:42:36,030 --> 00:42:37,310
He does a lot of media.

1112
00:42:37,550 --> 00:42:38,610
And here's this part.

1113
00:42:38,970 --> 00:42:40,150
You know, when I arrived at D.C.

1114
00:42:40,190 --> 00:42:41,930
Water, this was...

1115
00:42:41,930 --> 00:42:43,250
This is your last clip, by the way.

1116
00:42:43,370 --> 00:42:44,250
I don't know what you're...

1117
00:42:44,250 --> 00:42:45,370
No, that's another clip.

1118
00:42:45,770 --> 00:42:46,610
You know, when I arrived...

1119
00:42:46,610 --> 00:42:47,890
This is a pretty important topic.

1120
00:42:48,070 --> 00:42:48,650
Eight clips.

1121
00:42:48,750 --> 00:42:49,930
You know, when I arrived at D.C.

1122
00:42:49,970 --> 00:42:52,830
Water, this was an organization that looked very

1123
00:42:52,830 --> 00:42:55,050
similar to our industry.

1124
00:42:55,230 --> 00:42:58,490
It was predominantly, you know, white male at

1125
00:42:58,490 --> 00:42:58,890
the top.

1126
00:42:58,990 --> 00:43:00,730
But this is a utility that's, you know,

1127
00:43:00,790 --> 00:43:03,290
more than 70% people of color.

1128
00:43:04,150 --> 00:43:05,470
Yeah, there you go.

1129
00:43:05,770 --> 00:43:07,490
That's my reason for being here.

1130
00:43:07,650 --> 00:43:08,270
This utility.

1131
00:43:08,790 --> 00:43:12,090
And I really believe, and I still believe,

1132
00:43:12,090 --> 00:43:13,350
and it has been fantastic.

1133
00:43:13,510 --> 00:43:14,990
The outcomes have been fantastic.

1134
00:43:15,570 --> 00:43:18,570
But the people at the top, the executives,

1135
00:43:18,770 --> 00:43:21,230
the chiefs in that C-suite, they should

1136
00:43:21,230 --> 00:43:25,470
look like the employees that they serve and

1137
00:43:25,470 --> 00:43:26,370
that they work with.

1138
00:43:26,570 --> 00:43:28,130
And the same thing with the community.

1139
00:43:28,130 --> 00:43:31,530
And so my executive team, you know, looks

1140
00:43:31,530 --> 00:43:32,010
exactly...

1141
00:43:32,010 --> 00:43:32,610
Hold on, stop it a second.

1142
00:43:33,790 --> 00:43:36,070
If you're the CEO, you're not serving the

1143
00:43:36,070 --> 00:43:37,950
employees, you're serving the public.

1144
00:43:38,670 --> 00:43:40,450
Can I just add, what is the point

1145
00:43:40,450 --> 00:43:41,150
of this?

1146
00:43:42,570 --> 00:43:43,290
Of what?

1147
00:43:43,570 --> 00:43:44,550
Of the series.

1148
00:43:44,570 --> 00:43:46,310
Is it coming to a conclusion?

1149
00:43:46,650 --> 00:43:48,530
Yeah, the point is, is that you have

1150
00:43:48,530 --> 00:43:53,010
this situation where DEI is what Susan Rice

1151
00:43:53,010 --> 00:43:55,030
was talking about that she wants to re

1152
00:43:55,030 --> 00:43:55,510
-implement.

1153
00:43:55,730 --> 00:43:56,170
Okay.

1154
00:43:56,170 --> 00:43:58,730
And this is an example where it's headed,

1155
00:43:58,970 --> 00:44:03,150
which is sewage disasters, by getting rid of

1156
00:44:03,150 --> 00:44:06,230
Whitey at the top, because the Whitey at

1157
00:44:06,230 --> 00:44:07,670
the top doesn't...

1158
00:44:07,670 --> 00:44:08,550
Okay, is that enough?

1159
00:44:08,650 --> 00:44:09,670
Yeah, thank you.

1160
00:44:09,770 --> 00:44:10,230
That helps.

1161
00:44:10,450 --> 00:44:10,970
That helps.

1162
00:44:12,170 --> 00:44:13,590
Yes, you're right.

1163
00:44:13,770 --> 00:44:14,970
The employees.

1164
00:44:15,210 --> 00:44:17,190
Doesn't mean all black people don't know how

1165
00:44:17,190 --> 00:44:18,330
to run a sewage plant.

1166
00:44:18,370 --> 00:44:20,290
But when it comes to DEI and people

1167
00:44:20,290 --> 00:44:23,250
like Susan Rice, yeah, this is what you

1168
00:44:23,250 --> 00:44:23,550
get.

1169
00:44:23,750 --> 00:44:26,330
That they serve and that they work with.

1170
00:44:26,330 --> 00:44:27,930
And the same thing with the community.

1171
00:44:28,390 --> 00:44:32,350
And so my executive team looks exactly like

1172
00:44:32,350 --> 00:44:32,970
the community.

1173
00:44:33,290 --> 00:44:37,790
It looks like the employees, the staff, be

1174
00:44:37,790 --> 00:44:40,630
it people of color, women, men.

1175
00:44:41,150 --> 00:44:44,090
And it's just a fantastic team that has

1176
00:44:44,090 --> 00:44:45,850
come together to do a lot of great

1177
00:44:45,850 --> 00:44:48,210
things here at DC Water and in the

1178
00:44:48,210 --> 00:44:49,250
community for the customer.

1179
00:44:50,610 --> 00:44:51,170
Right.

1180
00:44:51,570 --> 00:44:54,770
Well, it's tough for that guy.

1181
00:44:54,770 --> 00:45:00,310
Yeah, and you take people that know what

1182
00:45:00,310 --> 00:45:03,150
they're doing and you get them out of

1183
00:45:03,150 --> 00:45:04,850
there so you can put some of your

1184
00:45:04,850 --> 00:45:05,610
buddies in.

1185
00:45:05,690 --> 00:45:07,010
And next thing you know, the whole thing

1186
00:45:07,010 --> 00:45:08,350
falls apart and no one knows how to

1187
00:45:08,350 --> 00:45:08,790
fix it.

1188
00:45:08,910 --> 00:45:10,210
It's been going on for a month.

1189
00:45:10,630 --> 00:45:12,670
And this is an example, this last clip,

1190
00:45:12,850 --> 00:45:14,490
which I'm sorry there's so many clips, but

1191
00:45:14,490 --> 00:45:15,610
I tried to keep them short.

1192
00:45:16,310 --> 00:45:20,810
But this is the Gaddis intro on some

1193
00:45:20,810 --> 00:45:23,950
show where this woman introduces him.

1194
00:45:23,950 --> 00:45:25,650
And you can see what all the priorities

1195
00:45:25,650 --> 00:45:26,150
are.

1196
00:45:26,270 --> 00:45:28,690
And she got named on some board that

1197
00:45:28,690 --> 00:45:29,590
this guy put together.

1198
00:45:29,630 --> 00:45:31,170
And he's so proud of himself for being

1199
00:45:31,170 --> 00:45:32,310
a DEI guy.

1200
00:45:32,730 --> 00:45:34,170
And this is what the Democrats are going

1201
00:45:34,170 --> 00:45:37,130
to reintroduce when they get back in is

1202
00:45:37,130 --> 00:45:39,890
this DEI bull crap, which is not doing

1203
00:45:39,890 --> 00:45:41,090
the public any good.

1204
00:45:41,170 --> 00:45:42,810
It's costing more money than it's worth.

1205
00:45:43,550 --> 00:45:47,430
And connecting them to a well-established, competitively

1206
00:45:47,430 --> 00:45:49,490
viable minority-owned firms.

1207
00:45:49,910 --> 00:45:53,750
Today, in this special 50th anniversary episode, we

1208
00:45:53,750 --> 00:45:58,130
celebrate and pay tribute to an innovative and

1209
00:45:58,130 --> 00:46:01,710
businessman, innovative leader, rather, and businessman, Mr. David

1210
00:46:01,710 --> 00:46:02,230
Gaddis.

1211
00:46:02,490 --> 00:46:04,590
But before we start the conversation with him,

1212
00:46:04,630 --> 00:46:05,650
let me just tell you a little bit

1213
00:46:05,650 --> 00:46:06,050
about him.

1214
00:46:06,310 --> 00:46:08,070
This is not his first induction to the

1215
00:46:08,070 --> 00:46:09,630
Hall of Fame, as I understand it.

1216
00:46:09,890 --> 00:46:12,670
He is, however, the CEO and general manager

1217
00:46:12,670 --> 00:46:13,430
of DC Water.

1218
00:46:13,510 --> 00:46:16,570
In this role, he oversees all authority, including

1219
00:46:16,570 --> 00:46:19,810
a $1 billion annual budget, a workforce of

1220
00:46:19,810 --> 00:46:23,830
1,100 employees, and the largest advanced wastewater

1221
00:46:23,830 --> 00:46:25,350
treatment plant in the world.

1222
00:46:25,450 --> 00:46:26,630
I'd like to hear about that.

1223
00:46:27,010 --> 00:46:29,010
Under his leadership, DC Water has emerged as

1224
00:46:29,010 --> 00:46:31,930
a leader within the water sector on environmental

1225
00:46:31,930 --> 00:46:35,070
justice and water equity programs, such as the

1226
00:46:35,070 --> 00:46:39,870
Lead-Free DC program, which is eliminating all

1227
00:46:39,870 --> 00:46:43,310
lead service lines within the district by 2030.

1228
00:46:43,850 --> 00:46:47,990
Mr. Gaddis has extended economic equity to the

1229
00:46:47,990 --> 00:46:51,030
community through changes to the authority business development

1230
00:46:51,030 --> 00:46:54,710
plan, which has improved access to contract opportunities

1231
00:46:54,710 --> 00:46:58,510
for small and disadvantaged businesses, an apprenticeship program

1232
00:46:58,510 --> 00:47:01,350
that offers classroom and on-the-job training,

1233
00:47:01,570 --> 00:47:04,470
as well as the establishment of the authority's

1234
00:47:04,470 --> 00:47:08,370
first-ever Business Diversity Advisory Council, of which

1235
00:47:08,370 --> 00:47:09,670
I'm very proud.

1236
00:47:10,030 --> 00:47:12,370
He also serves as chairman of the board

1237
00:47:12,370 --> 00:47:15,510
of Blue Drop, DC Water's non-profit sales

1238
00:47:15,510 --> 00:47:17,970
and marketing affiliate, and is a frequent presenter

1239
00:47:17,970 --> 00:47:21,270
at Utility and Government Services conferences and with

1240
00:47:21,270 --> 00:47:23,350
the National League of Cities and the National

1241
00:47:23,350 --> 00:47:25,290
Association of Public-Private Partnerships.

1242
00:47:26,110 --> 00:47:27,590
And before I bring him on, you should

1243
00:47:27,590 --> 00:47:30,190
know that prior to his service at DC

1244
00:47:30,190 --> 00:47:35,470
Water, he led Viola Water, Indianapolis, CEO and

1245
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:37,610
president of Viola Water, Indianapolis.

1246
00:47:37,890 --> 00:47:40,430
He was the first African-American CEO president

1247
00:47:40,430 --> 00:47:43,850
and the first African-American CEO to lead

1248
00:47:43,850 --> 00:47:47,710
a major utility in Indianapolis, Indiana.

1249
00:47:47,710 --> 00:47:51,190
So please help me welcome Mr. David Gattis.

1250
00:47:51,350 --> 00:47:52,730
Good day, sir.

1251
00:47:52,970 --> 00:47:55,410
Why didn't you say Comrade Gattis?

1252
00:47:55,530 --> 00:47:56,550
That would have been...

1253
00:47:56,550 --> 00:47:57,330
Might as well have.

1254
00:47:57,490 --> 00:47:58,850
Thank you so much.

1255
00:47:59,410 --> 00:48:02,750
So you have to tell us about your

1256
00:48:02,750 --> 00:48:05,630
induction into the Hall of Fame in basketball,

1257
00:48:05,890 --> 00:48:07,030
University of Indianapolis.

1258
00:48:07,030 --> 00:48:08,250
Okay, he gets to kill it now.

1259
00:48:08,690 --> 00:48:11,430
They just talk about basketball for 10 minutes,

1260
00:48:11,750 --> 00:48:13,490
kind of a stereotypical manner.

1261
00:48:14,230 --> 00:48:18,330
But this guy's not mentioned in the NPR

1262
00:48:18,330 --> 00:48:20,610
report, which this glossed it over and blamed

1263
00:48:20,610 --> 00:48:21,570
climate change.

1264
00:48:21,870 --> 00:48:23,230
I mean, how much of this could we

1265
00:48:23,230 --> 00:48:23,710
take?

1266
00:48:26,590 --> 00:48:30,870
We have lost all faith in our institutions

1267
00:48:30,870 --> 00:48:34,530
and our water plants, our poop plants.

1268
00:48:36,430 --> 00:48:36,790
You're right.

1269
00:48:38,650 --> 00:48:40,750
Epstein or not, the president needs to step

1270
00:48:40,750 --> 00:48:41,210
in here.

1271
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:43,850
I see it as an opportunity.

1272
00:48:43,990 --> 00:48:45,390
You got to cut this stuff off.

1273
00:48:46,170 --> 00:48:47,590
There's a lot to say that this guy

1274
00:48:47,590 --> 00:48:52,980
did no good along the same lines of

1275
00:48:52,980 --> 00:48:54,540
DEI, because I think it's part of the

1276
00:48:54,540 --> 00:48:58,280
same problem is the fraud in Minnesota.

1277
00:48:58,900 --> 00:49:00,340
It's just more of the same problem.

1278
00:49:00,380 --> 00:49:01,460
Oh, the Somalis, yeah.

1279
00:49:01,700 --> 00:49:03,300
Oh, yeah, let's set them up with...

1280
00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:06,940
They can do centers for kids and leering

1281
00:49:06,940 --> 00:49:07,520
center.

1282
00:49:07,980 --> 00:49:10,520
Vice President Vance made his stand of what

1283
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,820
they're doing with, what's his name, Batya.

1284
00:49:13,940 --> 00:49:15,260
Is that the guy who's running the CDC

1285
00:49:15,260 --> 00:49:15,620
now?

1286
00:49:17,020 --> 00:49:18,320
I think it is.

1287
00:49:18,340 --> 00:49:19,020
Yeah, I think it is.

1288
00:49:19,300 --> 00:49:19,940
I think you're right.

1289
00:49:19,980 --> 00:49:22,700
Here's his little statement, which is, nothing gets

1290
00:49:22,700 --> 00:49:23,840
the news these days.

1291
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,240
Nothing is in the timeline because Epstein.

1292
00:49:26,580 --> 00:49:29,760
We're announcing today that we have decided to

1293
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:34,980
temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that

1294
00:49:34,980 --> 00:49:37,700
are going to the state of Minnesota in

1295
00:49:37,700 --> 00:49:39,940
order to ensure that the state of Minnesota

1296
00:49:39,940 --> 00:49:43,680
takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards

1297
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,600
of the American people's taxes.

1298
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,080
Now, what is this going to mean?

1299
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,360
What this means is that, first of all,

1300
00:49:49,660 --> 00:49:52,340
the providers on the ground in Minnesota have

1301
00:49:52,340 --> 00:49:53,580
actually already been paid.

1302
00:49:53,700 --> 00:49:55,480
The state has paid those providers the money.

1303
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,100
What we're doing is we are stopping the

1304
00:49:58,100 --> 00:50:00,100
federal payments that will go to the state

1305
00:50:00,100 --> 00:50:04,480
government until the state government takes its obligations

1306
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:08,860
seriously to stop the fraud that's being perpetrated

1307
00:50:08,860 --> 00:50:10,200
against the American taxpayer.

1308
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,080
There are a few different ways that we're

1309
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:12,560
doing that.

1310
00:50:12,620 --> 00:50:14,660
There are a few different affirmative actions that

1311
00:50:14,660 --> 00:50:15,700
we're taking today.

1312
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,580
Dr. Oz is going to talk about those,

1313
00:50:18,740 --> 00:50:20,260
but let me talk a little bit about

1314
00:50:20,260 --> 00:50:22,740
the spirit of this and why we're doing

1315
00:50:22,740 --> 00:50:22,920
it.

1316
00:50:23,660 --> 00:50:25,980
So number one, one of the examples of

1317
00:50:25,980 --> 00:50:27,720
fraud that we've seen in Minnesota that we

1318
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:30,880
verify that is just awful is that a

1319
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,220
program that existed to ensure that autistic children

1320
00:50:34,220 --> 00:50:37,600
had access to some afterschool services has made

1321
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,020
a number of people rich, not by providing

1322
00:50:40,020 --> 00:50:43,760
services to needy children, but by allowing fraudsters

1323
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,260
to take money that ought by right go

1324
00:50:46,260 --> 00:50:49,800
to American citizens and to American families and

1325
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,860
to set up sham businesses, set up sham

1326
00:50:52,860 --> 00:50:55,820
clients, set up people who are not even

1327
00:50:55,820 --> 00:50:58,660
autistic, but claim to be autistic in order

1328
00:50:58,660 --> 00:51:00,680
that they benefit from the money that's out

1329
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:00,820
there.

1330
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:01,800
Now, what does that mean?

1331
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:03,840
Number one, it means that a lot of

1332
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,180
people are getting rich off the generosity of

1333
00:51:06,180 --> 00:51:08,800
American taxpayers, but more fundamentally and more importantly

1334
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,620
than that, it means that there are kids

1335
00:51:11,620 --> 00:51:15,260
in Minnesota who deserve these services, who need

1336
00:51:15,260 --> 00:51:17,080
these services, and they're not going to those

1337
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:17,460
kids.

1338
00:51:17,700 --> 00:51:20,140
They're going to fraudsters in Minneapolis.

1339
00:51:20,140 --> 00:51:21,380
That is unacceptable.

1340
00:51:21,780 --> 00:51:23,140
And that's the sort of thing that we're

1341
00:51:23,140 --> 00:51:24,600
cutting off with this action today.

1342
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,000
And I tell you, it's not just Minneapolis.

1343
00:51:27,300 --> 00:51:29,880
Medicare was a boondoggle.

1344
00:51:30,540 --> 00:51:31,700
There's another report.

1345
00:51:31,780 --> 00:51:32,640
I didn't clip it.

1346
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,180
In Austin, company pulled in tens of millions

1347
00:51:36,180 --> 00:51:36,720
of dollars.

1348
00:51:36,780 --> 00:51:38,280
They think it may be up to hundreds

1349
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:43,240
of millions of dollars billing Medicare for stuff

1350
00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:44,480
that people never got.

1351
00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:47,080
I mean, yeah, yeah, that's obvious.

1352
00:51:47,940 --> 00:51:49,860
It's yeah, it's unbelievable.

1353
00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:51,280
It's all fraud.

1354
00:51:51,580 --> 00:51:53,580
Yeah, he's all these medical systems that, you

1355
00:51:53,580 --> 00:51:55,200
know, they used to have private doctors and

1356
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,480
they used to have their own offices and

1357
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:56,820
the rest.

1358
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,160
And now it's all become some sort of

1359
00:51:58,160 --> 00:51:58,660
system.

1360
00:51:59,620 --> 00:52:02,080
Systematically, they got phone tests that you don't

1361
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:02,600
need.

1362
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,180
When you go now, they got all these

1363
00:52:04,180 --> 00:52:04,660
things.

1364
00:52:04,820 --> 00:52:05,720
We'll come back.

1365
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,420
You know, oh, you got to do this.

1366
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:08,060
You got to do that.

1367
00:52:08,060 --> 00:52:10,240
You're pretty cancerous.

1368
00:52:10,500 --> 00:52:12,080
We need to run some tests on you.

1369
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,360
Yeah, and then this was this was a

1370
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,540
fun fraud in Los Angeles.

1371
00:52:19,980 --> 00:52:22,920
Involving the superintendent of the Los Angeles School

1372
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:23,300
District.

1373
00:52:24,060 --> 00:52:28,260
Tonight, LA USD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho is the

1374
00:52:28,260 --> 00:52:30,260
subject of an FBI investigation.

1375
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,760
Federal agents, some in tactical gear, seen entering

1376
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,580
Carvalho San Pedro home Wednesday morning to execute

1377
00:52:36,580 --> 00:52:37,400
a search warrant.

1378
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,780
Agents also searching Carvalho's office at district headquarters

1379
00:52:40,780 --> 00:52:41,960
in downtown LA.

1380
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,740
The FBI is not detailing the nature of

1381
00:52:44,740 --> 00:52:48,340
the investigation, but confirms the warrants were served.

1382
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,680
The LA Times, citing confidential law enforcement sources,

1383
00:52:52,060 --> 00:52:55,000
reports the probe is focused on Carvalho, not

1384
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,280
LA USD, and may involve financial crimes.

1385
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,200
According to the Times, the investigation involves a

1386
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,060
former artificial intelligence company called Alhear that developed

1387
00:53:05,060 --> 00:53:07,460
a chat bot known as Ed for LA

1388
00:53:07,460 --> 00:53:07,960
USD.

1389
00:53:08,660 --> 00:53:12,460
Alhear collapsed in 2024 amid allegations of massive

1390
00:53:12,460 --> 00:53:15,960
financial fraud involving its founder and CEO, Joanna

1391
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,740
Smith Griffin, who was arrested the same year.

1392
00:53:19,140 --> 00:53:21,700
In a previous interview, she promoted the company's

1393
00:53:21,700 --> 00:53:23,540
use of AI in education.

1394
00:53:23,860 --> 00:53:24,980
My name is Joanna Smith.

1395
00:53:25,180 --> 00:53:27,760
I'm the CEO of Alhear, and we help

1396
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,660
schools to curb chronic absenteeism using chat bots

1397
00:53:31,660 --> 00:53:32,580
powered by AI.

1398
00:53:32,820 --> 00:53:36,060
Carvalho promoted the AI tool in 2024, but

1399
00:53:36,060 --> 00:53:39,680
after Smith Griffin's indictment and arrest, the district

1400
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,340
declined to use the technology.

1401
00:53:41,700 --> 00:53:43,660
Hey man, if I get another email from

1402
00:53:43,660 --> 00:53:46,060
a teacher or an educator who says, oh

1403
00:53:46,060 --> 00:53:50,100
man, once the Chromebooks came in, everything went

1404
00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:51,380
to hell in a handbasket.

1405
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,180
The kids figured out immediately how to bypass

1406
00:53:55,180 --> 00:53:57,560
everything, how to get to the web, to

1407
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,220
get to porn, get all the AI for

1408
00:54:00,220 --> 00:54:03,040
all of their test scores.

1409
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,000
I mean, what a, and it's all about

1410
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:06,380
money.

1411
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,620
There were big payouts, schools getting all kinds

1412
00:54:09,620 --> 00:54:10,180
of cash.

1413
00:54:10,260 --> 00:54:11,060
Oh, just take it.

1414
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:12,820
I mean, Apple started, and I think they

1415
00:54:12,820 --> 00:54:15,500
were probably, they did that out of the

1416
00:54:15,500 --> 00:54:16,560
goodness of their hearts.

1417
00:54:16,580 --> 00:54:18,400
Like, hey, we need to get these kids

1418
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:19,040
some computers.

1419
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,720
And then they realized, like, we're not really

1420
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:22,840
getting anything out of this.

1421
00:54:23,240 --> 00:54:25,040
They stopped that program at a certain point.

1422
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:25,980
It's like, yeah, we're not going to do

1423
00:54:25,980 --> 00:54:26,240
that.

1424
00:54:27,220 --> 00:54:29,280
And then, yeah, Apple, Apple was the leader.

1425
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:30,200
Yeah.

1426
00:54:30,340 --> 00:54:32,340
And then they just disappeared from the scene.

1427
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:33,920
It was the same time when they were

1428
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,320
given, remember, they were lending out apples.

1429
00:54:36,460 --> 00:54:37,260
They would send you one.

1430
00:54:37,300 --> 00:54:37,860
I got one.

1431
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:38,980
They sent me an Apple 2.

1432
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:41,080
My first Apple 2.

1433
00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:43,020
Yeah, my first computer was an Apple 2.

1434
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,920
A guy named Daniel Paul worked at Apple.

1435
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:46,780
He's still out there.

1436
00:54:47,540 --> 00:54:48,740
I don't think he's at Apple anymore.

1437
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,620
And then he sent me, he says, oh,

1438
00:54:51,660 --> 00:54:53,220
no, I was at MTV.

1439
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:54,480
Oh, you got to have a computer.

1440
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:55,040
It's good.

1441
00:54:55,340 --> 00:54:56,640
And, you know, we want you to try

1442
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:56,980
it out.

1443
00:54:57,620 --> 00:55:00,280
And the interesting thing is several years later,

1444
00:55:00,340 --> 00:55:04,340
I mean, I was into my first, what

1445
00:55:04,340 --> 00:55:04,620
was it?

1446
00:55:04,660 --> 00:55:06,020
The 540C.

1447
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:07,520
Wasn't that one of the.

1448
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,200
I don't remember the model numbers.

1449
00:55:09,300 --> 00:55:10,880
There's a bunch of LCs and other ones.

1450
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:12,080
Well, no, this is the laptop.

1451
00:55:12,300 --> 00:55:13,540
They had the laptop and it was a

1452
00:55:13,540 --> 00:55:14,280
color laptop.

1453
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:15,080
Oh, man.

1454
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:16,440
And if you had five pixels.

1455
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:17,700
Was that the big giant thing?

1456
00:55:17,740 --> 00:55:18,980
No, it wasn't that big.

1457
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:20,320
Wasn't that big.

1458
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,240
But no, that came in between with a

1459
00:55:23,240 --> 00:55:24,360
trackball built in.

1460
00:55:24,460 --> 00:55:25,460
I forget what that was called.

1461
00:55:26,100 --> 00:55:26,620
But then they had.

1462
00:55:26,740 --> 00:55:28,380
I have one of those, the giant thing.

1463
00:55:28,460 --> 00:55:29,500
With the trackball.

1464
00:55:29,500 --> 00:55:30,700
It's got to be a collectible.

1465
00:55:30,860 --> 00:55:32,400
I'm sure it is, if you can find

1466
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:32,560
it.

1467
00:55:33,420 --> 00:55:38,640
Well, I think it was the 540C and

1468
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,160
it was a laptop.

1469
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,740
It had the OS7, I'm going to say.

1470
00:55:43,860 --> 00:55:46,980
And I remember it so well because I

1471
00:55:46,980 --> 00:55:51,720
had five pixels, five color pixels weren't working.

1472
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,620
And Apple refused to take anything back unless

1473
00:55:55,620 --> 00:55:57,120
it was more than five pixels.

1474
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,140
So they sold me a defective product and

1475
00:56:00,140 --> 00:56:01,500
they were expensive at the time.

1476
00:56:01,500 --> 00:56:03,700
They were $4,000, maybe $3,000, $4

1477
00:56:03,700 --> 00:56:04,040
,000.

1478
00:56:05,020 --> 00:56:06,760
Oh, no, no, that's expected.

1479
00:56:07,460 --> 00:56:08,360
A couple of pixels out.

1480
00:56:08,460 --> 00:56:09,460
That's just that's normal.

1481
00:56:09,620 --> 00:56:12,480
So the tough, tough luck, Mr. Vijay.

1482
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,700
But Daniel Paul at that time said, hey,

1483
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,840
you have to send us the Apple II

1484
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:18,220
back.

1485
00:56:20,020 --> 00:56:22,080
And I actually had to send it back.

1486
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:22,960
Why?

1487
00:56:23,240 --> 00:56:24,360
That was their policy.

1488
00:56:24,900 --> 00:56:26,680
We lent it to you and now we

1489
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:27,380
want it back.

1490
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:29,080
I know.

1491
00:56:29,180 --> 00:56:30,300
Why is the right question?

1492
00:56:30,300 --> 00:56:33,400
And I, of course, went, OK, I'll give

1493
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:33,940
it back to you.

1494
00:56:34,180 --> 00:56:36,020
You could have just said, yeah, OK, sure.

1495
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,740
And then generally speaking, these guys are so

1496
00:56:38,740 --> 00:56:39,840
poor at record keeping.

1497
00:56:40,300 --> 00:56:40,420
Yeah.

1498
00:56:41,140 --> 00:56:44,220
That you say, I don't want to say

1499
00:56:44,220 --> 00:56:44,380
that.

1500
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,000
I know this from experience, but being in

1501
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:46,980
that business forever.

1502
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:50,680
OK, it's on its way.

1503
00:56:51,380 --> 00:56:52,600
Got lost in the mail.

1504
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,080
Somebody checks the box and that's the end

1505
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:55,360
of it.

1506
00:56:56,060 --> 00:56:59,380
And my how things are now between government

1507
00:56:59,380 --> 00:57:01,780
and technology companies.

1508
00:57:02,020 --> 00:57:06,740
This latest spat between the and I think

1509
00:57:06,740 --> 00:57:10,380
it's something else, actually, between the Department of

1510
00:57:10,380 --> 00:57:13,220
War and Anthropic is interesting to follow.

1511
00:57:13,460 --> 00:57:16,260
The CEO of artificial intelligence company Anthropic.

1512
00:57:16,700 --> 00:57:19,080
We need to work together between companies and

1513
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,680
the government to better manage that time of

1514
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,640
disruption and bring better prosperity smoothly to all.

1515
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,220
Dario Amodei's company has been working with the

1516
00:57:28,220 --> 00:57:29,000
American government.

1517
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,740
It was the only large language model being

1518
00:57:31,740 --> 00:57:33,700
used in classified U.S. networks.

1519
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,400
That relationship is now at risk.

1520
00:57:36,780 --> 00:57:39,020
Reuters reporting that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete

1521
00:57:39,020 --> 00:57:41,840
Hegseth told Amodei in a meeting Tuesday, Anthropic

1522
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,680
must ease restrictions on how the military can

1523
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:45,740
use its AI.

1524
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,920
Anthropic is refusing to let its systems be

1525
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:53,540
used for autonomous weapon targeting or to conduct

1526
00:57:53,540 --> 00:57:54,920
U.S. domestic surveillance.

1527
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:58,100
Hegseth is threatening to label the company as

1528
00:57:58,100 --> 00:58:00,820
a supply chain risk, effectively banning it from

1529
00:58:00,820 --> 00:58:03,400
working with the government or invoking the Defense

1530
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,920
Production Act to force Anthropic to give in.

1531
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,860
Hegseth argues U.S. law is sufficient.

1532
00:58:09,180 --> 00:58:10,860
I fully support that strike.

1533
00:58:11,460 --> 00:58:12,740
I would have made the same call.

1534
00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:15,120
The U.S. government attacked several boats it

1535
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,820
claims were carrying drugs, striking twice in one

1536
00:58:17,820 --> 00:58:18,200
attack.

1537
00:58:18,460 --> 00:58:20,620
Democrats have called the strikes illegal.

1538
00:58:21,020 --> 00:58:23,760
A researcher says current laws governing war aren't

1539
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,560
sufficient for technology that identifies targets, even attacks

1540
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,540
them without human oversight.

1541
00:58:29,900 --> 00:58:31,900
And these sort of norms that were created,

1542
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,880
you know, decades, something like 50 years ago,

1543
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,600
you know, did not anticipate the type of

1544
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,140
technology that we have now.

1545
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,840
Branka Marion says AI finding, selecting, and engaging

1546
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,780
targets clouds responsibility.

1547
00:58:45,140 --> 00:58:48,000
So the conversation is too important to be

1548
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:48,400
private.

1549
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,700
Reuters reports a Pentagon source says Anthropic has

1550
00:58:51,700 --> 00:58:54,220
until 5 p.m. Friday Eastern time to

1551
00:58:54,220 --> 00:58:55,880
respond to Hegseth's requests.

1552
00:58:56,060 --> 00:58:58,840
So Anthropic is throwing it, as far as

1553
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,480
I can tell, on this, well, you know,

1554
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,840
we are a company with a soul and

1555
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,000
we don't want our work to be used.

1556
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,440
We don't want our work to be used

1557
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:10,840
for, you know, killing people.

1558
00:59:11,020 --> 00:59:12,500
I think they're lying.

1559
00:59:14,060 --> 00:59:16,500
The hallucination, the minute you hook up a

1560
00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:18,800
large language model to some tools, and I

1561
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,620
have some hands-on experience, I've been building

1562
00:59:20,620 --> 00:59:24,380
something very simple, you know, manage an online

1563
00:59:24,380 --> 00:59:26,560
radio station with just prompts.

1564
00:59:28,620 --> 00:59:31,280
And if the AI can't, it will lie

1565
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:32,320
continuously.

1566
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:34,760
It'll say, oh, yeah, I did that.

1567
00:59:35,540 --> 00:59:36,680
I said, did you delete that file?

1568
00:59:36,740 --> 00:59:37,680
Yeah, no, I deleted that.

1569
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:38,500
Are you sure?

1570
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:39,700
Yeah, look, I deleted it.

1571
00:59:39,740 --> 00:59:40,440
Show me the list.

1572
00:59:41,540 --> 00:59:42,940
And it shows you the list of files

1573
00:59:42,940 --> 00:59:43,300
in there.

1574
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:44,040
It says it's still there.

1575
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:44,660
Oh, I'm sorry.

1576
00:59:44,780 --> 00:59:45,800
Yeah, let me go delete that.

1577
00:59:46,580 --> 00:59:47,760
And then it comes back.

1578
00:59:47,860 --> 00:59:48,520
So see, it's gone.

1579
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,720
And I can look at the file system.

1580
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:51,540
It's still there.

1581
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,700
These things, there is no control over this.

1582
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:55,440
And I've tried it.

1583
00:59:55,820 --> 00:59:57,620
The best is, the best is, That's a

1584
00:59:57,620 --> 00:59:58,220
great story.

1585
00:59:58,300 --> 00:59:59,300
The best is XAI.

1586
00:59:59,740 --> 01:00:01,680
That thing is meant to just engage you

1587
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:02,600
in bullcrap.

1588
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:04,840
I mean, the way that was trained, and

1589
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:06,380
of course, I could have known, you know,

1590
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,220
something has been trained on Twitter data.

1591
01:00:08,380 --> 01:00:09,760
Yeah, how good is that going to be

1592
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,020
in a production environment?

1593
01:00:12,340 --> 01:00:16,760
Claude, you know, sometimes it says, oh, this

1594
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,300
is literally a prompt that came back.

1595
01:00:18,900 --> 01:00:21,180
I can't connect to my brain right now.

1596
01:00:21,740 --> 01:00:22,180
Okay.

1597
01:00:23,340 --> 01:00:25,960
You know, Gemini, they all do it.

1598
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,860
They all, no one has fixed the hallucination

1599
01:00:28,860 --> 01:00:29,100
yet.

1600
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:30,940
And it's kind of funny when you're using

1601
01:00:30,940 --> 01:00:33,880
a chat bot, and it's okay, you know,

1602
01:00:33,900 --> 01:00:35,440
for entertainment purposes.

1603
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,060
But it's very entertaining.

1604
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,180
But in a real world production environment, it

1605
01:00:40,180 --> 01:00:41,260
is unreliable.

1606
01:00:41,260 --> 01:00:42,180
And they know it.

1607
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:43,680
I think they all know it.

1608
01:00:44,340 --> 01:00:45,680
Like, well, we don't want to get...

1609
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,100
That may be, so what you're implying is

1610
01:00:48,100 --> 01:00:50,540
that the reason Anthropic is so reluctant to

1611
01:00:50,540 --> 01:00:52,680
let them go ahead with this stupid idea

1612
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,820
is because they know it's going to be

1613
01:00:54,820 --> 01:00:56,560
a disaster, and it's going to reflect poorly

1614
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:57,100
on them.

1615
01:00:57,380 --> 01:00:57,480
Yes.

1616
01:00:58,300 --> 01:01:01,260
And, you know, and they have OpenAI as

1617
01:01:01,260 --> 01:01:02,480
an example.

1618
01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:06,360
Canadian officials have questioned leaders from OpenAI about

1619
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,340
the company's safety protocols following one of the

1620
01:01:09,340 --> 01:01:12,640
country's worst ever school shootings earlier this month.

1621
01:01:13,220 --> 01:01:15,800
After the shooting, it was revealed that OpenAI

1622
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,320
had banned the ChatGPT account of the suspected

1623
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,540
shooter, but did not tell police.

1624
01:01:22,180 --> 01:01:24,980
Reporter Ryan Patrick-Jones says the case raises

1625
01:01:24,980 --> 01:01:27,600
the question of just what tech companies are

1626
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,240
obliged or required to report.

1627
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,940
OpenAI says it banned Jesse van Rootselaar's account

1628
01:01:33,940 --> 01:01:37,360
on its chatbot, ChatGPT, eight months before the

1629
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,600
shooting for violations of its safety policies.

1630
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,640
The company didn't exactly say what she did,

1631
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:47,060
only that its automated systems flagged her account

1632
01:01:47,060 --> 01:01:50,360
for possible misuse of its models, quote, in

1633
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,460
furtherance of violent activities.

1634
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,640
OpenAI says it considered whether to alert police

1635
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:58,660
at the time, but decided that the activity

1636
01:01:58,660 --> 01:02:01,260
didn't quite meet its threshold of posing an

1637
01:02:01,260 --> 01:02:04,240
imminent and credible risk of serious harm.

1638
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,980
They say they didn't identify any concrete or

1639
01:02:07,980 --> 01:02:09,020
immediate planning.

1640
01:02:09,580 --> 01:02:11,620
So the company says it kind of had

1641
01:02:11,620 --> 01:02:14,340
to balance whether to report to police with

1642
01:02:14,340 --> 01:02:17,400
the importance of user privacy and the risk

1643
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:21,360
of over-enforcing and potentially causing unintended harm.

1644
01:02:21,940 --> 01:02:25,560
Now, after the shooting, OpenAI did contact the

1645
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,560
Royal Canadian Mounted Police and shared information on

1646
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,120
van Rootselaar's past use of ChatGPT, and they

1647
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,060
say they are continuing to assist investigators.

1648
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,100
In a statement after the meeting, OpenAI said

1649
01:02:39,100 --> 01:02:42,280
it has taken steps to strengthen safeguards and

1650
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,980
has made changes to law enforcement referral protocols

1651
01:02:44,980 --> 01:02:47,640
for cases involving violent activities.

1652
01:02:47,740 --> 01:02:49,360
These companies are going to get blamed for

1653
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:49,920
everything.

1654
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:51,040
Everything.

1655
01:02:52,140 --> 01:02:53,940
And probably rightly so.

1656
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:55,220
We got a note from one of our

1657
01:02:55,220 --> 01:02:57,940
producers, Gen Z.

1658
01:02:58,500 --> 01:03:01,440
I've noticed a writing style of AI chatbots

1659
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:02,520
that I wanted to mention.

1660
01:03:03,060 --> 01:03:05,240
Perhaps you've noticed it too, but now that

1661
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,900
I notice it, I see it everywhere, especially

1662
01:03:07,900 --> 01:03:09,000
all over X.

1663
01:03:09,060 --> 01:03:09,960
It goes like this.

1664
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,120
Blank is not just blank.

1665
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,000
They're a blank describing them.

1666
01:03:14,700 --> 01:03:16,440
Further expands with some BS to drive their

1667
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:16,940
point home.

1668
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:18,240
For example, it goes like this.

1669
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:20,680
Adam and John are not just podcasters.

1670
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,140
They are media deconstructors.

1671
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,300
Adam and John speak truth to power by

1672
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:27,020
breaking down the mainstream media's talking points and

1673
01:03:27,020 --> 01:03:28,500
beating them at their own game.

1674
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,200
And once I realized what he was telling

1675
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:35,020
us here, this format, I see it everywhere

1676
01:03:35,020 --> 01:03:35,640
now too.

1677
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,580
He says he sees on LinkedIn, work emails.

1678
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,200
Of course, there has to be tons of

1679
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:44,060
bots on X.

1680
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:44,960
What's the model again?

1681
01:03:46,340 --> 01:03:47,900
That's XAI, I would say.

1682
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,220
No, the model is blank, blank, blank.

1683
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,580
Okay, so blank is not just a blank.

1684
01:03:53,180 --> 01:03:54,980
They're a blank describing them.

1685
01:03:56,660 --> 01:03:56,880
Okay.

1686
01:03:57,500 --> 01:03:58,960
It's similar to diving.

1687
01:03:59,580 --> 01:04:01,060
So they iterate.

1688
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,640
So John is basically a trick for padding.

1689
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:06,700
It's a padding trick.

1690
01:04:06,820 --> 01:04:07,320
Completely.

1691
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:11,480
And it's just iteration, three X iteration minimum.

1692
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:12,020
Yeah.

1693
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:14,100
I can see that.

1694
01:04:14,420 --> 01:04:17,540
So I'm sorry, he's a millennial.

1695
01:04:17,700 --> 01:04:20,900
So another thing related to this, I'm a

1696
01:04:20,900 --> 01:04:23,760
millennial and my barbershop is largely millennial barbers

1697
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:24,300
and customers.

1698
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:26,120
More than once, I've seen a post on

1699
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,000
X the day or so before.

1700
01:04:28,500 --> 01:04:31,420
I heard a person in the barbershop recite

1701
01:04:31,420 --> 01:04:34,680
this X post word for word as if

1702
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:36,740
it was their own thought to make themselves

1703
01:04:36,740 --> 01:04:38,620
sound profound or well-informed.

1704
01:04:39,340 --> 01:04:41,080
I think that's been happening for a long

1705
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:41,400
time.

1706
01:04:43,020 --> 01:04:45,980
Well, you know, Erica Kirk is creepy.

1707
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:47,640
Where'd you hear that?

1708
01:04:47,740 --> 01:04:49,580
I didn't, I just, I deduced that.

1709
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:51,060
I didn't hear it from Candace Owens.

1710
01:04:54,180 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, it could be.

1711
01:04:54,900 --> 01:04:55,120
Yeah.

1712
01:04:55,460 --> 01:04:56,800
And then the big news that we can

1713
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:58,400
wrap up some AI stuff here.

1714
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,660
And gosh, this could have been so our

1715
01:05:02,660 --> 01:05:03,600
exit strategy.

1716
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:05,660
I can't believe we didn't think of it.

1717
01:05:06,300 --> 01:05:07,960
Claude does COBOL.

1718
01:05:09,380 --> 01:05:11,080
What a great idea.

1719
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:13,660
Of course it does.

1720
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,740
Of course it can program COBOL.

1721
01:05:16,860 --> 01:05:19,480
Yeah, the IBM stock tank like 13%

1722
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:24,380
in one go because of all their mainframes

1723
01:05:24,380 --> 01:05:25,160
running everything.

1724
01:05:25,420 --> 01:05:26,780
We discussed this on DHM.

1725
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:27,420
Oh, you did?

1726
01:05:27,980 --> 01:05:28,720
And what did you say?

1727
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,640
What you're talking about now is like obvious

1728
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,960
that IBM is under threat because it's their

1729
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:37,880
services business.

1730
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,760
And once Claude does Red Hat, what happens

1731
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:42,160
next?

1732
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,500
Because their whole business is basically, you know,

1733
01:05:44,740 --> 01:05:45,800
service now.

1734
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:47,100
They don't do anything else.

1735
01:05:47,220 --> 01:05:50,340
When it comes to troubleshooting Linux, I mean,

1736
01:05:50,340 --> 01:05:51,180
I've seen it happen.

1737
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,160
It always winds up with the chat bot

1738
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,140
telling you you have to recompile your kernel.

1739
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:57,760
So I'm not too worried about it yet.

1740
01:05:58,180 --> 01:06:00,340
Dudes named Ben will have business for a

1741
01:06:00,340 --> 01:06:00,640
while.

1742
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:03,280
But bottom line, these things hallucinate.

1743
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:04,360
They haven't fixed it.

1744
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:05,980
They're papering over it.

1745
01:06:06,380 --> 01:06:08,380
And it's just not that great other than

1746
01:06:08,380 --> 01:06:10,480
eating up your tokens, munching away.

1747
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:11,320
Munch.

1748
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:11,740
Yeah.

1749
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,320
Even comic strip bloggers kind of backed off.

1750
01:06:15,060 --> 01:06:16,900
Oh, Claude, this is it.

1751
01:06:17,220 --> 01:06:18,480
Jobs will be gone.

1752
01:06:18,940 --> 01:06:22,080
You better get your affairs in order because

1753
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:23,780
AI is taking over everything.

1754
01:06:23,940 --> 01:06:25,020
You'll have nothing to do.

1755
01:06:25,140 --> 01:06:26,180
You won't have a job.

1756
01:06:26,260 --> 01:06:27,300
People living on the street.

1757
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:31,780
What, in what technological revolution has that happened?

1758
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:34,680
When we invented electricity, did everyone lose their

1759
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:35,080
job?

1760
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,440
When we had the industrial revolution, did people

1761
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,520
lose jobs or more jobs created?

1762
01:06:41,420 --> 01:06:45,480
With desktop computing, were more jobs created or

1763
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:45,640
lost?

1764
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,180
Well, my favorite along these lines is that

1765
01:06:48,180 --> 01:06:53,880
once they coined the term paperless office, if

1766
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,060
you had invested all your money in paper

1767
01:06:56,060 --> 01:06:58,080
companies, you'd be a multimillionaire.

1768
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,400
You'd be a Koch brother, basically.

1769
01:07:02,300 --> 01:07:03,620
So there's always that.

1770
01:07:04,260 --> 01:07:06,800
But there's another story that's floating around.

1771
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:08,580
There's a big news story this morning.

1772
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,540
That's all we're talking about on some of

1773
01:07:10,540 --> 01:07:12,940
these shows, which is the LA lawsuit over

1774
01:07:12,940 --> 01:07:13,660
social media.

1775
01:07:13,860 --> 01:07:15,440
Are you familiar with what's going on here?

1776
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:16,740
Yeah, I think we played a clip a

1777
01:07:16,740 --> 01:07:17,660
couple of shows back.

1778
01:07:19,460 --> 01:07:20,740
It's coming to a head.

1779
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:21,220
Okay.

1780
01:07:21,420 --> 01:07:21,980
You got anything?

1781
01:07:22,500 --> 01:07:23,600
I got one clip.

1782
01:07:23,860 --> 01:07:26,440
I labeled it number one, thinking I was

1783
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:27,240
going to get more.

1784
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,880
And then I kind of crapped out.

1785
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:31,420
This is an NPR report.

1786
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,800
Or no, this is NTD, LA lawsuit.

1787
01:07:34,140 --> 01:07:36,600
We're outside the Los Angeles Superior Courthouse where

1788
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,000
an engineer and data science professor took the

1789
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:39,640
stand today.

1790
01:07:40,100 --> 01:07:43,260
Professor John Chandler testified saying how social media

1791
01:07:43,260 --> 01:07:46,180
companies generate billions of dollars through ad revenue

1792
01:07:46,180 --> 01:07:48,680
from young users under the age of 18.

1793
01:07:49,380 --> 01:07:52,200
Professor John Chandler told jurors that research estimates

1794
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,940
showed platforms made billions of dollars from users

1795
01:07:54,940 --> 01:07:58,480
under 18, including roughly $5 billion from Instagram

1796
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,940
and more than $2 billion from YouTube in

1797
01:08:00,940 --> 01:08:01,740
a single year.

1798
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,000
However, YouTube attorneys pushed back questioning how Chandler

1799
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:08,000
calculated watch time and ad exposure and pointing

1800
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,240
out that he does not personally use Instagram

1801
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,280
or knew all of the features offered on

1802
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:12,760
the app.

1803
01:08:13,060 --> 01:08:15,020
Jurors were also shown how ads play on

1804
01:08:15,020 --> 01:08:17,200
the YouTube app and showed Bad Bunny's NFL

1805
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,680
halftime performance as an example of how ads

1806
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:20,380
pop up.

1807
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,160
Plaintiff attorney Mark Lanier went into detail describing

1808
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,880
how ads are customized to certain users saying

1809
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,660
when they log into their YouTube, they are

1810
01:08:27,660 --> 01:08:30,140
actually logging into their Google account, which can

1811
01:08:30,140 --> 01:08:32,240
send them ads based on their search history.

1812
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,040
He also mentioned how children who lied about

1813
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,340
their age are being fed adult advertisements.

1814
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:41,859
For years, big tech has hidden behind predatory

1815
01:08:41,859 --> 01:08:48,220
design, coercive tactics to manipulate, exploit and addict

1816
01:08:48,220 --> 01:08:52,399
my generation of young people, stealing the meaning

1817
01:08:52,399 --> 01:08:55,740
of digital community right out from under us.

1818
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,100
And I say no more.

1819
01:08:58,979 --> 01:09:01,460
Many survivor parents attend the trial each day

1820
01:09:01,460 --> 01:09:03,660
and on Wednesday, about 20 held a press

1821
01:09:03,660 --> 01:09:05,319
conference outside the courthouse.

1822
01:09:05,500 --> 01:09:07,840
They called for what they described as common

1823
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:11,120
sense legislative solutions to address social media's impact

1824
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:12,040
on young users.

1825
01:09:12,620 --> 01:09:15,080
Yeah, how about no slave slabs for you

1826
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:15,560
child?

1827
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,000
Survivor parents is a term they use and

1828
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,359
I'm surprised they don't use the term victims

1829
01:09:21,359 --> 01:09:24,260
for all these social media users.

1830
01:09:24,420 --> 01:09:27,260
This is a lawsuit one girl has brought

1831
01:09:27,260 --> 01:09:27,859
forward.

1832
01:09:28,060 --> 01:09:28,720
She has 20.

1833
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,040
She says she got addicted to Instagram.

1834
01:09:31,700 --> 01:09:34,740
She got addicted and she has mental health

1835
01:09:34,740 --> 01:09:36,180
issues because of it.

1836
01:09:36,319 --> 01:09:38,960
And they have and they're making a big

1837
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:39,779
stink out of it.

1838
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:40,779
And they're suing Instagram.

1839
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:43,460
And I don't know, there's two or three

1840
01:09:43,460 --> 01:09:46,800
social media operations they're going to going after.

1841
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:48,240
I think YouTube is one of them.

1842
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:51,720
And it's actually a big deal because I

1843
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:53,279
don't think they're going to win because the

1844
01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:55,920
guys, the counter arguments are too, you know,

1845
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:57,600
they're just end up blaming the parents.

1846
01:09:57,980 --> 01:09:58,240
They're strong.

1847
01:09:58,340 --> 01:10:00,100
Yeah, so do I.

1848
01:10:00,620 --> 01:10:01,660
Yeah, it is the parents fault.

1849
01:10:01,660 --> 01:10:02,840
I blame the parents.

1850
01:10:03,860 --> 01:10:09,940
But all I've noticed is ever since, you

1851
01:10:09,940 --> 01:10:14,100
know, smartphones, everything and there's really been a

1852
01:10:14,100 --> 01:10:15,700
great innovation since then.

1853
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:17,200
Of course, now AI is supposed to be

1854
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:17,980
the great innovation.

1855
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:19,960
Everything has just gotten worse.

1856
01:10:21,220 --> 01:10:23,260
Your battery runs down quicker because of all

1857
01:10:23,260 --> 01:10:26,820
this nonsense that's running around doing stuff for

1858
01:10:26,820 --> 01:10:27,140
you.

1859
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:31,500
You know, search engines suck.

1860
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:33,440
Just suck.

1861
01:10:34,620 --> 01:10:36,480
Everything's just kind of gotten worse.

1862
01:10:38,260 --> 01:10:41,200
Has that not been your experience in, you

1863
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:43,900
know, five decades in the tech industry?

1864
01:10:45,060 --> 01:10:49,400
No, I think they've always been bad.

1865
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:51,780
And so I don't think it's really gotten

1866
01:10:51,780 --> 01:10:52,460
that much worse.

1867
01:10:52,660 --> 01:10:55,800
And it's always entertaining at some level.

1868
01:10:56,300 --> 01:10:58,700
And it's hard to say.

1869
01:10:58,780 --> 01:11:01,840
I mean, the social media stuff is the

1870
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:05,240
addictive aspect of it with the algo and

1871
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,340
all the rest is probably concerning.

1872
01:11:07,480 --> 01:11:08,780
And I think people should be aware of

1873
01:11:08,780 --> 01:11:08,940
it.

1874
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,560
It's something that didn't exist at this level

1875
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:11,960
before.

1876
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:13,700
But the parents are addicted themselves.

1877
01:11:13,700 --> 01:11:15,580
And yet that is the problem.

1878
01:11:15,580 --> 01:11:16,580
That's the problem, right?

1879
01:11:16,620 --> 01:11:17,380
The bad example.

1880
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:18,680
Yeah, I agree.

1881
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:20,740
So Samsung is coming out with their Galaxy

1882
01:11:20,740 --> 01:11:21,760
S26.

1883
01:11:22,420 --> 01:11:24,600
And they're not going to put one, not

1884
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,840
two, but three AI engines in there.

1885
01:11:28,980 --> 01:11:29,320
Why?

1886
01:11:29,660 --> 01:11:30,240
Why?

1887
01:11:30,380 --> 01:11:31,840
Oh, I'm glad you asked.

1888
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,660
Because so we'll have Gemini perplexity.

1889
01:11:35,860 --> 01:11:39,980
So Gemini for agentic tasks like booking rides

1890
01:11:39,980 --> 01:11:42,700
and doing things across apps for you.

1891
01:11:43,380 --> 01:11:45,260
Perplexity for web-based queries.

1892
01:11:46,020 --> 01:11:49,440
And then an upgraded version of Samsung's own

1893
01:11:49,440 --> 01:11:51,980
Bixby, which I noticed myself as all of

1894
01:11:51,980 --> 01:11:53,480
a sudden might not be.

1895
01:11:53,740 --> 01:11:57,100
Yeah, my now dead foldable phone.

1896
01:11:57,360 --> 01:11:58,420
Hi, I'm Bixby.

1897
01:11:58,480 --> 01:11:59,520
How can I help you?

1898
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:01,000
Really?

1899
01:12:01,500 --> 01:12:03,100
Is this the same as Clippy?

1900
01:12:03,540 --> 01:12:05,400
Or that little dog that you see in

1901
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:05,800
the corner?

1902
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,400
With a name like Bixby, it might as

1903
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:08,880
well be.

1904
01:12:09,740 --> 01:12:12,960
So it's going to, you know, it's going

1905
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:16,800
to book Uber rides for you automatically when

1906
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:18,660
you have to go to dinner as after

1907
01:12:18,660 --> 01:12:19,100
it already.

1908
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:20,980
Because there's so much work.

1909
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,860
It's so hard to go on the app,

1910
01:12:23,980 --> 01:12:26,680
the Uber app and click, click a couple

1911
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:28,600
of times and get your ride figured out.

1912
01:12:28,660 --> 01:12:29,660
They're out of ideas.

1913
01:12:30,100 --> 01:12:30,960
That's the whole point.

1914
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:32,160
They're out of ideas.

1915
01:12:33,460 --> 01:12:35,400
Well, we got this cool stuff, you know,

1916
01:12:35,440 --> 01:12:37,460
and your agent can talk to my agent.

1917
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,340
This is in the press release.

1918
01:12:39,340 --> 01:12:41,240
Your agent talks to my agent.

1919
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:43,060
They set a date for dinner and then

1920
01:12:43,060 --> 01:12:44,720
it'll automatically book our rides.

1921
01:12:44,820 --> 01:12:47,160
It'll pre-order our favorite meals.

1922
01:12:47,300 --> 01:12:50,220
I mean, every, like, this is why I

1923
01:12:50,220 --> 01:12:50,540
said...

1924
01:12:50,540 --> 01:12:51,820
Pre-order your favorite meal.

1925
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:52,940
This is what I said on the last

1926
01:12:52,940 --> 01:12:53,160
show.

1927
01:12:53,260 --> 01:12:55,180
Like, we are the robots.

1928
01:12:55,580 --> 01:12:56,540
The tech companies are just...

1929
01:12:56,540 --> 01:12:57,060
It's a good point.

1930
01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:59,340
Just using the phones to control us and

1931
01:12:59,340 --> 01:12:59,900
it's working.

1932
01:13:00,860 --> 01:13:02,440
Pre-order your favorite meal.

1933
01:13:02,660 --> 01:13:03,080
And then we have...

1934
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:04,580
You don't go to a restaurant to eat

1935
01:13:04,580 --> 01:13:05,940
your favorite meal necessarily.

1936
01:13:06,380 --> 01:13:08,040
You go there, maybe, I mean, there used

1937
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,680
to be a place that always had these

1938
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:10,960
frog legs that always go there.

1939
01:13:11,220 --> 01:13:12,620
But you'd always still look at the menu

1940
01:13:12,620 --> 01:13:14,480
and say, wait a minute, this isn't different.

1941
01:13:14,660 --> 01:13:15,560
Let me try that.

1942
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:17,880
I guess that's out of the question now.

1943
01:13:18,180 --> 01:13:20,220
So lawmakers in Colorado have come up with

1944
01:13:20,220 --> 01:13:22,000
a genius idea.

1945
01:13:22,620 --> 01:13:25,060
This is Senators Matt Ball and Amy Pachal.

1946
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:26,080
They're state senators.

1947
01:13:26,980 --> 01:13:33,440
They came up with SB 26051 requiring operating

1948
01:13:33,440 --> 01:13:36,660
systems such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft.

1949
01:13:36,660 --> 01:13:38,980
But they appear to also have thrown in

1950
01:13:38,980 --> 01:13:39,780
open source.

1951
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:44,560
You will now have to verify your age

1952
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:49,040
upon installing or starting up the operating system.

1953
01:13:49,940 --> 01:13:51,680
So they figured, oh, the way to do

1954
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:54,420
this is you have to verify your age

1955
01:13:54,420 --> 01:13:55,900
to the operating system.

1956
01:13:55,980 --> 01:13:58,720
And after that, everything else has to adhere

1957
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:00,000
to that age verification.

1958
01:14:02,690 --> 01:14:04,170
How about that for an idea?

1959
01:14:05,550 --> 01:14:07,630
Well, you mean everything defaults to that?

1960
01:14:07,630 --> 01:14:10,110
Yeah, everything defaults to it, yeah.

1961
01:14:11,210 --> 01:14:12,830
So that's not going to work.

1962
01:14:13,030 --> 01:14:13,190
No.

1963
01:14:15,030 --> 01:14:16,910
What, you think these kids are stupid?

1964
01:14:19,510 --> 01:14:20,470
Yeah, yeah.

1965
01:14:21,890 --> 01:14:22,990
So we're going to...

1966
01:14:22,990 --> 01:14:25,170
Hey, Dad, can you install the operating system

1967
01:14:25,170 --> 01:14:25,590
for me?

1968
01:14:25,650 --> 01:14:26,450
Oh, yeah, sure.

1969
01:14:27,990 --> 01:14:29,630
Okay, I'm good to go, thanks.

1970
01:14:30,490 --> 01:14:31,810
I mean, come on.

1971
01:14:34,570 --> 01:14:36,250
What could possibly go wrong?

1972
01:14:36,810 --> 01:14:38,250
This is all virtue signaling.

1973
01:14:39,670 --> 01:14:41,150
You're going to talk about this sort of

1974
01:14:41,150 --> 01:14:42,930
thing since we're talking about computers and stuff.

1975
01:14:43,230 --> 01:14:45,510
I do have another short presentation I'd like

1976
01:14:45,510 --> 01:14:46,250
to get rid of.

1977
01:14:47,530 --> 01:14:49,710
This is the video game sick report.

1978
01:14:50,270 --> 01:14:50,890
Oh, okay.

1979
01:14:51,030 --> 01:14:53,030
What makes more money than the music industry

1980
01:14:53,030 --> 01:14:54,610
and the film industry combined?

1981
01:14:54,930 --> 01:14:56,790
The answer is found in the click of

1982
01:14:56,790 --> 01:14:58,470
a mouse, the flick of a thumbstick.

1983
01:14:58,650 --> 01:15:00,610
I'm talking about video games.

1984
01:15:01,430 --> 01:15:02,510
Yeah, yeah.

1985
01:15:03,510 --> 01:15:05,710
What is it, almost 10 times the size

1986
01:15:05,710 --> 01:15:06,590
of Hollywood now?

1987
01:15:06,710 --> 01:15:07,450
Yeah, it's pretty big.

1988
01:15:07,730 --> 01:15:10,250
But what is the flick of a thumbstick?

1989
01:15:11,370 --> 01:15:12,670
Did you hear that little thing?

1990
01:15:13,090 --> 01:15:15,770
This is our expert reporting from NPR.

1991
01:15:16,550 --> 01:15:18,590
What makes more money than the music industry

1992
01:15:18,590 --> 01:15:20,330
and the film industry combined?

1993
01:15:20,510 --> 01:15:22,370
The answer is found in the click of

1994
01:15:22,370 --> 01:15:24,030
a mouse, the flick of a thumbstick.

1995
01:15:24,390 --> 01:15:26,150
I'm talking about video games.

1996
01:15:26,810 --> 01:15:27,070
Wow.

1997
01:15:27,430 --> 01:15:29,750
Thumbsticks is how I control the entire show.

1998
01:15:30,490 --> 01:15:33,090
Thumbsticks, do you flick the thumbsticks?

1999
01:15:33,090 --> 01:15:36,310
Yeah, that's how I forgot to record.

2000
01:15:36,470 --> 01:15:38,030
I was flicking the thumbstick and I thought

2001
01:15:38,030 --> 01:15:38,490
it went.

2002
01:15:39,850 --> 01:15:43,270
Okay, well, they strained out and discussed joysticks

2003
01:15:43,270 --> 01:15:44,990
for a little bit here with part two.

2004
01:15:45,430 --> 01:15:47,550
Last year, the video game industry generated around

2005
01:15:47,550 --> 01:15:51,570
$190 billion in revenue, according to outlets that

2006
01:15:51,570 --> 01:15:52,170
track it.

2007
01:15:52,550 --> 01:15:54,290
So how did this medium go from the

2008
01:15:54,290 --> 01:15:56,710
arcade into a global juggernaut?

2009
01:15:56,850 --> 01:15:58,670
That is the subject of a new podcast

2010
01:15:58,670 --> 01:16:01,750
series called Hidden Levels, which is a collaboration

2011
01:16:01,750 --> 01:16:03,850
between 99%- This is a house

2012
01:16:03,850 --> 01:16:04,250
ad.

2013
01:16:04,510 --> 01:16:05,390
It's a house ad.

2014
01:16:05,450 --> 01:16:06,790
It's a house ad that you're playing.

2015
01:16:07,470 --> 01:16:09,190
I would say about half of the stuff

2016
01:16:09,190 --> 01:16:11,570
on NPR now is house ads for their

2017
01:16:11,570 --> 01:16:13,650
podcasts that you can receive wherever you get

2018
01:16:13,650 --> 01:16:14,370
your podcasts.

2019
01:16:14,610 --> 01:16:17,890
Visible and endless thread from member station WBUR

2020
01:16:17,890 --> 01:16:18,630
in Boston.

2021
01:16:19,390 --> 01:16:21,150
And Ben Brock Johnson is here.

2022
01:16:21,270 --> 01:16:22,970
He's the creator of Hidden Levels and the

2023
01:16:22,970 --> 01:16:24,010
co-host of Endless Thread.

2024
01:16:24,310 --> 01:16:24,930
Hi, Ben.

2025
01:16:25,110 --> 01:16:25,730
Hi, Emily.

2026
01:16:25,890 --> 01:16:27,110
You can be player one.

2027
01:16:27,210 --> 01:16:27,910
I'll be player two.

2028
01:16:27,990 --> 01:16:28,790
Ready player two.

2029
01:16:29,050 --> 01:16:29,390
Let's go.

2030
01:16:29,890 --> 01:16:32,350
Your series is so fantastic.

2031
01:16:32,770 --> 01:16:34,370
It covers so many interesting things.

2032
01:16:34,450 --> 01:16:35,270
It's six episodes.

2033
01:16:35,790 --> 01:16:37,190
And one of them is all about the

2034
01:16:37,190 --> 01:16:40,110
history of the joystick because its origins have

2035
01:16:40,110 --> 01:16:42,090
nothing to do with gaming, turns out.

2036
01:16:42,310 --> 01:16:44,290
Yeah, this was a really fun episode.

2037
01:16:44,650 --> 01:16:47,710
The joystick is born in the early 1900s.

2038
01:16:47,790 --> 01:16:49,410
It has a somewhat murky origin.

2039
01:16:50,270 --> 01:16:53,090
It gets introduced into the aviation industry first

2040
01:16:53,090 --> 01:16:55,210
to better control some of the first airplanes.

2041
01:16:55,430 --> 01:16:55,970
That makes sense.

2042
01:16:56,290 --> 01:16:58,950
Yeah, but then the joystick gets incorporated and

2043
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:02,750
really perfected by the video game industry starting

2044
01:17:02,750 --> 01:17:05,810
in the 70s as a tool that has

2045
01:17:05,810 --> 01:17:09,050
become the way to extend our bodies via

2046
01:17:09,050 --> 01:17:09,490
machine.

2047
01:17:09,650 --> 01:17:10,990
It's just used everywhere now.

2048
01:17:11,730 --> 01:17:13,950
Yeah, when I was training to fly a

2049
01:17:13,950 --> 01:17:16,750
helicopter and airplanes, I always had to learn

2050
01:17:16,750 --> 01:17:18,350
how to use the joystick.

2051
01:17:19,150 --> 01:17:20,950
And I think on my test, I even

2052
01:17:20,950 --> 01:17:22,750
had to say, you know, you use the

2053
01:17:22,750 --> 01:17:25,270
joystick to control the plane, morons.

2054
01:17:26,430 --> 01:17:29,430
So this is the level of discourse we

2055
01:17:29,430 --> 01:17:31,510
have on NPR when it comes to tech.

2056
01:17:32,370 --> 01:17:35,190
So here's the third clip, which I have

2057
01:17:35,190 --> 01:17:38,130
labeled WTF, meaning there's something stupid in it.

2058
01:17:38,210 --> 01:17:39,710
Well, I mean, you can say there's something

2059
01:17:39,710 --> 01:17:41,710
stupid in all these clips that I have

2060
01:17:41,710 --> 01:17:45,390
today, but there's something particularly stupid here.

2061
01:17:45,790 --> 01:17:50,270
Shane Rivera, a psychotherapist who works with LGBTQ

2062
01:17:50,270 --> 01:17:52,030
youth in South Carolina.

2063
01:17:52,930 --> 01:17:55,310
And Rivera described how a person, they were

2064
01:17:55,310 --> 01:17:58,870
working with, found a safe space for her

2065
01:17:58,870 --> 01:18:01,930
own identity in the video game The Sims.

2066
01:18:02,210 --> 01:18:05,810
Little by little, she herself started to try

2067
01:18:05,810 --> 01:18:07,950
out different things that her avatar did.

2068
01:18:08,270 --> 01:18:11,090
Different types of makeup, different types of clothing.

2069
01:18:11,690 --> 01:18:14,410
Until she settled into this style that was

2070
01:18:14,410 --> 01:18:18,150
much more her, rather than a preconceived notion

2071
01:18:18,150 --> 01:18:20,230
of masculinity or femininity.

2072
01:18:20,530 --> 01:18:22,270
I'm so taken with that because at the

2073
01:18:22,270 --> 01:18:24,890
core of gaming is play and play is

2074
01:18:24,890 --> 01:18:25,990
how you can discover yourself.

2075
01:18:26,070 --> 01:18:28,510
And it reminds me of this game called

2076
01:18:29,130 --> 01:18:30,930
Life is Strange True Colors.

2077
01:18:31,550 --> 01:18:33,550
The character in that game can fall in

2078
01:18:33,550 --> 01:18:34,990
love with either a man or a woman.

2079
01:18:35,250 --> 01:18:37,790
And it was a way that I explored

2080
01:18:37,790 --> 01:18:40,190
and ultimately found my own bisexuality.

2081
01:18:40,650 --> 01:18:42,610
Oh, oh man.

2082
01:18:42,810 --> 01:18:44,570
This is a call back to Gamergate.

2083
01:18:44,750 --> 01:18:46,290
This is where it all started.

2084
01:18:46,990 --> 01:18:49,550
This is where all of the woke stuff

2085
01:18:49,550 --> 01:18:51,530
started to rear its head.

2086
01:18:51,530 --> 01:18:54,930
And we ignored it for months until there

2087
01:18:54,930 --> 01:18:57,370
was no ignoring it.

2088
01:18:57,470 --> 01:18:59,610
And this is where it came from, where

2089
01:18:59,610 --> 01:19:04,430
you had this huge pressure from video game

2090
01:19:04,430 --> 01:19:07,570
reviewers and magazines and websites.

2091
01:19:08,310 --> 01:19:12,210
All of your characters are sexy chicks and

2092
01:19:12,210 --> 01:19:13,210
this is no good.

2093
01:19:13,290 --> 01:19:15,730
We've got to have equity and equality.

2094
01:19:16,030 --> 01:19:18,070
And it started with Gamergate.

2095
01:19:18,330 --> 01:19:21,450
That was the genesis of it popping up.

2096
01:19:21,450 --> 01:19:22,950
And here we are.

2097
01:19:23,170 --> 01:19:27,290
It's saved an NPR host from hooking up

2098
01:19:27,290 --> 01:19:28,350
with a dude too much.

2099
01:19:29,150 --> 01:19:30,990
Yeah, now she's discovered she's bi.

2100
01:19:31,790 --> 01:19:33,290
Her own bisexuality.

2101
01:19:33,650 --> 01:19:34,910
Yes, her own bisexuality.

2102
01:19:34,970 --> 01:19:37,090
She discovered it by playing games.

2103
01:19:37,530 --> 01:19:37,630
Nice.

2104
01:19:38,130 --> 01:19:38,290
Yeah, yeah.

2105
01:19:38,310 --> 01:19:42,910
Video games got her into lesbianism basically.

2106
01:19:43,870 --> 01:19:44,410
So, okay.

2107
01:19:44,490 --> 01:19:45,270
Well, that's good to know.

2108
01:19:45,330 --> 01:19:46,390
Here's another clip.

2109
01:19:46,830 --> 01:19:47,770
That's good to know.

2110
01:19:47,990 --> 01:19:49,210
That's just swell.

2111
01:19:50,450 --> 01:19:51,310
Swell, guys.

2112
01:19:51,550 --> 01:19:53,510
We need to bring the word swell back.

2113
01:19:53,990 --> 01:19:54,090
Swell.

2114
01:19:54,150 --> 01:19:55,750
That's just swell.

2115
01:19:56,090 --> 01:19:56,910
That's just swell.

2116
01:19:57,070 --> 01:19:58,210
All right.

2117
01:19:58,450 --> 01:19:59,910
Because I could fall in love with both

2118
01:19:59,910 --> 01:20:02,130
and they both were great storylines equally.

2119
01:20:02,630 --> 01:20:04,010
And the game really allowed me that.

2120
01:20:04,250 --> 01:20:07,210
So, you're saying that games can be places

2121
01:20:07,210 --> 01:20:09,270
where people can grapple with real world things.

2122
01:20:09,390 --> 01:20:10,410
They're not just escapism.

2123
01:20:10,830 --> 01:20:11,270
Absolutely.

2124
01:20:11,750 --> 01:20:13,730
And that's, wow, that's such a meaningful example

2125
01:20:13,730 --> 01:20:17,870
and why representation is so important in these

2126
01:20:17,870 --> 01:20:18,270
spaces.

2127
01:20:19,650 --> 01:20:20,890
Representation in these spaces.

2128
01:20:21,250 --> 01:20:23,250
Is this why this guy is on to

2129
01:20:23,250 --> 01:20:25,270
talk about representation in these spaces?

2130
01:20:25,530 --> 01:20:26,870
Is that why they got him on?

2131
01:20:27,390 --> 01:20:29,410
I have no idea why they even did

2132
01:20:29,410 --> 01:20:29,610
this.

2133
01:20:29,990 --> 01:20:31,910
NPR has gone down the toilet.

2134
01:20:32,070 --> 01:20:32,570
This is great.

2135
01:20:32,630 --> 01:20:36,510
I mean, it's just a gay cabal now.

2136
01:20:37,490 --> 01:20:38,630
Give me a break.

2137
01:20:40,590 --> 01:20:41,590
Gay cabal.

2138
01:20:41,890 --> 01:20:42,930
That's what it is.

2139
01:20:44,130 --> 01:20:44,630
Cooperation.

2140
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:46,550
It's kind of pathetic.

2141
01:20:46,930 --> 01:20:48,350
And they're so proud of themselves.

2142
01:20:48,910 --> 01:20:49,470
They are.

2143
01:20:50,570 --> 01:20:51,990
I'm listening to a host.

2144
01:20:52,090 --> 01:20:54,290
I don't give a crap about their sexuality

2145
01:20:54,290 --> 01:20:55,350
and I don't want to throw it in

2146
01:20:55,350 --> 01:20:56,090
my face.

2147
01:20:56,470 --> 01:20:57,310
Oh, man.

2148
01:20:57,690 --> 01:20:58,250
Here we go.

2149
01:20:58,350 --> 01:20:59,530
Wrap up with the BS.

2150
01:21:00,130 --> 01:21:00,610
Okay.

2151
01:21:00,930 --> 01:21:03,430
I think games are really, ultimately, they're a

2152
01:21:03,430 --> 01:21:04,550
reflection of us, right?

2153
01:21:04,670 --> 01:21:06,650
In our own capacity for building things or

2154
01:21:06,650 --> 01:21:08,930
destroying things and everything in between.

2155
01:21:09,350 --> 01:21:11,510
Not only are video games huge, they're also

2156
01:21:11,510 --> 01:21:13,970
impacting our world in ways that we don't

2157
01:21:13,970 --> 01:21:15,450
really realize and appreciate.

2158
01:21:15,790 --> 01:21:17,550
Tell me about this sexuality.

2159
01:21:17,550 --> 01:21:19,030
It's in your DNA.

2160
01:21:19,450 --> 01:21:21,030
No, it's in my video game.

2161
01:21:21,270 --> 01:21:22,090
That's where it is.

2162
01:21:23,010 --> 01:21:24,450
Well, I do like the fact that one

2163
01:21:24,450 --> 01:21:26,150
of those, one of the big gaming consoles

2164
01:21:26,150 --> 01:21:29,230
is now all Linux and gave up on

2165
01:21:29,230 --> 01:21:29,650
Windows.

2166
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:30,770
I think that's kind of cool.

2167
01:21:30,850 --> 01:21:32,710
If I were Microsoft, I'd be concerned about

2168
01:21:32,710 --> 01:21:33,050
that.

2169
01:21:33,810 --> 01:21:36,330
What is the big platform that just came

2170
01:21:36,330 --> 01:21:38,430
out with a huge console?

2171
01:21:38,690 --> 01:21:40,450
I have no idea what you're talking about.

2172
01:21:40,570 --> 01:21:40,730
Yeah.

2173
01:21:40,750 --> 01:21:43,030
One of the big gaming consoles is now

2174
01:21:43,030 --> 01:21:43,910
all Linux.

2175
01:21:45,830 --> 01:21:46,250
Sony?

2176
01:21:46,250 --> 01:21:46,930
No.

2177
01:21:47,930 --> 01:21:49,050
No, no.

2178
01:21:49,930 --> 01:21:51,290
Microsoft's dropping the Xbox.

2179
01:21:51,850 --> 01:21:53,190
Steam, Steam, Steam.

2180
01:21:53,770 --> 01:21:54,190
Steam.

2181
01:21:54,330 --> 01:21:54,570
Yeah.

2182
01:21:54,810 --> 01:21:55,950
Steam has all the games.

2183
01:21:56,150 --> 01:21:57,410
Has a lot of games, not all the

2184
01:21:57,410 --> 01:21:57,650
games.

2185
01:21:57,770 --> 01:21:58,410
Steam has a lot of games.

2186
01:21:58,410 --> 01:21:59,390
I thought that was online stuff.

2187
01:21:59,450 --> 01:22:00,830
I didn't know that was a console.

2188
01:22:01,210 --> 01:22:01,570
Valve.

2189
01:22:01,710 --> 01:22:03,030
I think Valve is the name of the

2190
01:22:03,030 --> 01:22:03,350
console.

2191
01:22:04,430 --> 01:22:04,650
Yeah.

2192
01:22:05,750 --> 01:22:06,170
Yeah.

2193
01:22:06,270 --> 01:22:08,710
And they sell pre-made Linux boxes now.

2194
01:22:09,990 --> 01:22:10,410
Yeah.

2195
01:22:10,530 --> 01:22:11,050
Good for them.

2196
01:22:12,090 --> 01:22:12,690
All right.

2197
01:22:12,710 --> 01:22:14,290
Let's talk about the State of the Union,

2198
01:22:14,750 --> 01:22:16,090
which the president did.

2199
01:22:16,250 --> 01:22:18,190
He sounds a little tired from time to

2200
01:22:18,190 --> 01:22:18,670
time.

2201
01:22:19,250 --> 01:22:20,070
I thought it was...

2202
01:22:20,070 --> 01:22:21,030
He went 148.

2203
01:22:21,450 --> 01:22:21,670
Yeah.

2204
01:22:21,770 --> 01:22:22,630
I thought it was a good...

2205
01:22:22,630 --> 01:22:24,730
I think a good joke was, stand up

2206
01:22:24,730 --> 01:22:26,770
if you stand for the American people over

2207
01:22:26,770 --> 01:22:27,610
illegal immigrants.

2208
01:22:27,770 --> 01:22:29,490
I thought that was a fun move.

2209
01:22:29,870 --> 01:22:31,510
I have a copy of that on the

2210
01:22:31,510 --> 01:22:32,750
clip list.

2211
01:22:32,910 --> 01:22:33,230
Yes.

2212
01:22:34,250 --> 01:22:35,010
Before we...

2213
01:22:35,010 --> 01:22:35,870
I'll let you do these clips.

2214
01:22:35,930 --> 01:22:37,010
I just want to play one.

2215
01:22:37,190 --> 01:22:39,510
The takeaway this morning on CNN.

2216
01:22:39,890 --> 01:22:42,570
Among speech watchers tonight, 64% say his

2217
01:22:42,570 --> 01:22:44,230
policies will move the U.S. in the

2218
01:22:44,230 --> 01:22:44,630
right direction.

2219
01:22:44,630 --> 01:22:47,110
And look at the growth President Trump made

2220
01:22:47,110 --> 01:22:48,350
over the speech.

2221
01:22:48,490 --> 01:22:51,850
So pre-speech, it was 54% of

2222
01:22:51,850 --> 01:22:54,110
speech watchers said his policies will move the

2223
01:22:54,110 --> 01:22:55,010
U.S. in the right direction.

2224
01:22:55,370 --> 01:22:57,630
After the speech, that number goes up 10

2225
01:22:57,630 --> 01:22:58,190
percentage points.

2226
01:22:58,410 --> 01:23:00,970
So Donald Trump made some progress with people

2227
01:23:00,970 --> 01:23:03,610
watching the speech from their pre-speech expectations

2228
01:23:04,310 --> 01:23:06,050
to what they saw in the speech itself.

2229
01:23:06,350 --> 01:23:08,890
And that 64% number, that's pretty much

2230
01:23:08,890 --> 01:23:10,830
in range across all of his State of

2231
01:23:10,830 --> 01:23:12,850
the Union addresses in his first term, last

2232
01:23:12,850 --> 01:23:14,190
year, the joint session.

2233
01:23:14,190 --> 01:23:15,850
That's about where we've seen this.

2234
01:23:15,950 --> 01:23:17,970
Roughly two thirds have walked away from his

2235
01:23:17,970 --> 01:23:19,590
speeches thinking he's going to move it in

2236
01:23:19,590 --> 01:23:20,150
the right direction.

2237
01:23:20,350 --> 01:23:21,890
So a lot of red meat for the

2238
01:23:21,890 --> 01:23:22,210
base.

2239
01:23:22,310 --> 01:23:24,090
Yeah, there's no doubt about that.

2240
01:23:24,270 --> 01:23:25,890
I, if you're a Republican on the ballot

2241
01:23:25,890 --> 01:23:28,210
in 2026, I think you leave this speech

2242
01:23:28,210 --> 01:23:30,950
being as happy as you could possibly be.

2243
01:23:31,010 --> 01:23:33,250
That he sort of stuck to the script

2244
01:23:33,250 --> 01:23:33,870
on the economy.

2245
01:23:34,090 --> 01:23:35,610
He gave the red meat to the base

2246
01:23:35,610 --> 01:23:38,110
on immigration and they can leave the home

2247
01:23:38,110 --> 01:23:40,010
tonight and sort of take that out on

2248
01:23:40,010 --> 01:23:40,670
the campaign trail.

2249
01:23:40,790 --> 01:23:43,110
I was surprised that CNN did the report

2250
01:23:43,110 --> 01:23:44,470
and that the numbers were that high.

2251
01:23:45,750 --> 01:23:47,030
I didn't expect that.

2252
01:23:47,070 --> 01:23:48,490
I mean, these things are always just a

2253
01:23:48,490 --> 01:23:48,990
performance.

2254
01:23:49,310 --> 01:23:50,710
It doesn't matter who's doing them.

2255
01:23:51,030 --> 01:23:52,950
And it's either a performance from the Republicans

2256
01:23:52,950 --> 01:23:55,250
in the audience and a Democrat president or

2257
01:23:55,250 --> 01:23:55,910
vice versa.

2258
01:23:56,390 --> 01:23:57,810
It's always the same thing.

2259
01:23:58,510 --> 01:24:00,290
Yeah, it's a joke.

2260
01:24:00,630 --> 01:24:01,910
Yeah, it's a joke.

2261
01:24:02,070 --> 01:24:02,350
Yes.

2262
01:24:02,430 --> 01:24:03,110
So what do you have?

2263
01:24:04,030 --> 01:24:05,730
I just have some of the highlights.

2264
01:24:05,850 --> 01:24:06,330
Let me go.

2265
01:24:06,570 --> 01:24:07,810
I'm going to start with the one that

2266
01:24:07,810 --> 01:24:09,390
I, because I want to just, there's a

2267
01:24:09,390 --> 01:24:12,230
little tidbit in here that one person I

2268
01:24:12,230 --> 01:24:14,150
saw bring it up and I'm going to

2269
01:24:14,150 --> 01:24:14,750
bring it up too.

2270
01:24:14,830 --> 01:24:16,130
This is a State of the Union.

2271
01:24:16,210 --> 01:24:19,110
This is when he talks about Irina, the

2272
01:24:19,110 --> 01:24:22,450
woman who was murdered on the train in

2273
01:24:22,450 --> 01:24:25,750
North Carolina, I guess it was.

2274
01:24:27,350 --> 01:24:30,130
And to get, you know, now he's doing

2275
01:24:30,130 --> 01:24:31,610
some of this stuff where he points out

2276
01:24:31,610 --> 01:24:32,470
somebody in the audience.

2277
01:24:32,610 --> 01:24:34,850
He had the family there and then the

2278
01:24:34,850 --> 01:24:38,010
Democrats would sit and the Republicans would clap.

2279
01:24:38,210 --> 01:24:39,170
And here's an example.

2280
01:24:39,170 --> 01:24:41,990
President Trump is also honoring and vowing justice

2281
01:24:41,990 --> 01:24:43,030
for Anna Zaruzka.

2282
01:24:43,130 --> 01:24:44,850
That's the mother of 23 year old Irina

2283
01:24:44,850 --> 01:24:47,410
Zaruzka, the Ukrainian refugee who was fatally stabbed

2284
01:24:47,410 --> 01:24:51,630
last August in Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail

2285
01:24:51,630 --> 01:24:52,030
train.

2286
01:24:52,330 --> 01:24:54,930
Her killing attracted a lot of attention and

2287
01:24:54,930 --> 01:24:56,990
intense criticism over why the suspect was on

2288
01:24:56,990 --> 01:24:59,010
the street despite 14 prior arrests.

2289
01:24:59,270 --> 01:24:59,630
Take a look.

2290
01:24:59,870 --> 01:25:01,990
She had escaped a brutal war only to

2291
01:25:01,990 --> 01:25:04,830
be slain by a hardened criminal, set free

2292
01:25:04,830 --> 01:25:07,630
to kill in America, came in through open

2293
01:25:07,630 --> 01:25:08,110
borders.

2294
01:25:08,110 --> 01:25:11,450
Mrs. Zaruzka, tonight, I promise you, we will

2295
01:25:11,450 --> 01:25:15,150
ensure justice for your magnificent daughter, Irina.

2296
01:25:16,730 --> 01:25:17,990
How do you not stand?

2297
01:25:19,410 --> 01:25:20,670
How do you not stand?

2298
01:25:20,990 --> 01:25:22,810
So the thing about how do you not

2299
01:25:22,810 --> 01:25:25,330
stand, which to me would be great irony

2300
01:25:25,330 --> 01:25:27,010
was they put they put a camera on

2301
01:25:27,010 --> 01:25:28,490
people like Elizabeth Warren.

2302
01:25:28,650 --> 01:25:30,450
And it's all these Democrats.

2303
01:25:30,670 --> 01:25:34,270
They all didn't stand for the Ukrainian girl

2304
01:25:34,270 --> 01:25:37,150
and they all had little Ukraine flags on.

2305
01:25:38,350 --> 01:25:40,590
They had these little Ukraine flags.

2306
01:25:40,850 --> 01:25:43,390
Elizabeth Warren is a Ukraine flag and then

2307
01:25:43,390 --> 01:25:45,350
an American flag just underneath it, which is

2308
01:25:45,350 --> 01:25:46,770
kind of the opposite of the way it

2309
01:25:46,770 --> 01:25:47,150
should be.

2310
01:25:48,090 --> 01:25:50,170
And I could be wrong about the order,

2311
01:25:50,250 --> 01:25:52,070
but I'm pretty sure the Ukraine flag was

2312
01:25:52,070 --> 01:25:52,610
on top.

2313
01:25:53,230 --> 01:25:54,810
But but it's about Ukraine.

2314
01:25:55,190 --> 01:25:56,350
They didn't stand.

2315
01:25:56,470 --> 01:25:58,050
I mean, to me, it was it was

2316
01:25:58,050 --> 01:26:00,990
priceless in terms of the hypocrisy.

2317
01:26:01,670 --> 01:26:04,890
Well, I like the your report there saying

2318
01:26:04,890 --> 01:26:06,050
I got a lot of attention.

2319
01:26:06,050 --> 01:26:08,350
If I recall correctly, it took the mainstream

2320
01:26:08,350 --> 01:26:11,190
media two weeks to give this attention.

2321
01:26:11,530 --> 01:26:13,310
There was no one talking about it except

2322
01:26:13,310 --> 01:26:14,130
podcasts.

2323
01:26:17,630 --> 01:26:19,490
Yeah, I happen to remember these things.

2324
01:26:19,890 --> 01:26:22,410
Yeah, you remember that as a podcaster.

2325
01:26:23,870 --> 01:26:26,430
Let's go with here's the aliens clip.

2326
01:26:27,470 --> 01:26:29,970
President Trump last night making history with the

2327
01:26:29,970 --> 01:26:32,390
longest record of the State of the Union

2328
01:26:32,390 --> 01:26:34,610
address clocking in at just under an hour

2329
01:26:34,610 --> 01:26:35,710
and 48 minutes.

2330
01:26:35,790 --> 01:26:37,890
And a large focus of the president's address

2331
01:26:37,890 --> 01:26:40,970
last night was on his administration's immigration and

2332
01:26:40,970 --> 01:26:41,930
crime policies.

2333
01:26:42,370 --> 01:26:43,670
This is as he demands the full and

2334
01:26:43,670 --> 01:26:46,310
immediate restoration of all funding for the Department

2335
01:26:46,310 --> 01:26:47,270
of Homeland Security.

2336
01:26:47,670 --> 01:26:49,590
The president is also last night calling on

2337
01:26:49,590 --> 01:26:51,470
Congress to pass what he says he will

2338
01:26:51,470 --> 01:26:52,530
call the Delilah law.

2339
01:26:52,630 --> 01:26:54,410
That would be a law banning any state

2340
01:26:54,410 --> 01:26:57,470
from granting commercial driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

2341
01:26:57,910 --> 01:27:00,390
President stressing his reasoning there that many illegal

2342
01:27:00,390 --> 01:27:02,490
immigrants do not speak English and thus have

2343
01:27:02,490 --> 01:27:04,470
trouble reading basic road signs.

2344
01:27:04,610 --> 01:27:05,970
And the so-called Delilah law is named

2345
01:27:05,970 --> 01:27:07,670
after a little girl who was in the

2346
01:27:07,670 --> 01:27:08,570
audience last night.

2347
01:27:08,670 --> 01:27:10,630
Delilah Coleman, who was five when she was

2348
01:27:10,630 --> 01:27:12,850
critically injured in a car crash caused by

2349
01:27:12,850 --> 01:27:14,730
a trailer driven by an illegal immigrant.

2350
01:27:14,910 --> 01:27:18,250
She miraculously survived those critical injuries and was

2351
01:27:18,250 --> 01:27:18,870
there with her father.

2352
01:27:18,990 --> 01:27:19,350
Take a look.

2353
01:27:19,390 --> 01:27:21,150
Marcus, a fantastic man.

2354
01:27:21,310 --> 01:27:22,230
Delilah, please.

2355
01:27:22,710 --> 01:27:24,010
You are a great inspiration.

2356
01:27:24,210 --> 01:27:24,950
Please stand up.

2357
01:27:26,730 --> 01:27:30,350
So tonight I'm inviting every legislature to join

2358
01:27:30,350 --> 01:27:33,730
with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle.

2359
01:27:34,590 --> 01:27:37,390
If you agree with this statement, then stand

2360
01:27:37,390 --> 01:27:39,070
up and show your support.

2361
01:27:39,310 --> 01:27:42,430
The first duty of the American government is

2362
01:27:42,430 --> 01:27:45,690
to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.

2363
01:27:47,990 --> 01:27:51,310
You should be ashamed of yourself not standing

2364
01:27:51,310 --> 01:27:51,610
up.

2365
01:27:51,990 --> 01:27:53,590
You should be ashamed of yourself.

2366
01:27:54,610 --> 01:27:55,730
It got annoying.

2367
01:27:56,150 --> 01:27:58,230
It's like, OK, don't you know how this

2368
01:27:58,230 --> 01:27:58,790
works?

2369
01:27:59,750 --> 01:28:00,750
They don't stand.

2370
01:28:00,910 --> 01:28:01,770
You say stand.

2371
01:28:01,870 --> 01:28:02,650
They don't stand.

2372
01:28:02,770 --> 01:28:03,930
You're unpatriotic.

2373
01:28:04,070 --> 01:28:04,850
You're no good.

2374
01:28:06,690 --> 01:28:07,930
It is funny.

2375
01:28:08,090 --> 01:28:09,810
I mean, he's definitely milking it.

2376
01:28:10,290 --> 01:28:12,230
The last one was the boycott clip.

2377
01:28:12,570 --> 01:28:15,990
Meanwhile, Kevin, a historically unprecedented number of lawmakers

2378
01:28:15,990 --> 01:28:18,410
actually boycotted President Trump's State of the Union

2379
01:28:18,410 --> 01:28:20,470
last night north of 70 lawmakers.

2380
01:28:20,950 --> 01:28:24,310
And there are also counter addresses scheduled at

2381
01:28:24,310 --> 01:28:24,990
the same time.

2382
01:28:25,070 --> 01:28:27,050
There's the People's State of the Nation there

2383
01:28:27,050 --> 01:28:28,870
on the National Mall here, and there was

2384
01:28:28,870 --> 01:28:31,310
State of the Swamp at the National Press

2385
01:28:31,310 --> 01:28:31,550
Club.

2386
01:28:31,630 --> 01:28:34,030
And House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told Democratic

2387
01:28:34,030 --> 01:28:36,710
lawmakers who did attend to silently defy the

2388
01:28:36,710 --> 01:28:39,990
president's remarks, although some were more vocal about

2389
01:28:39,990 --> 01:28:43,230
their dissent, including Representative Ilhan Omar, who during

2390
01:28:43,230 --> 01:28:46,350
his part about immigration policy was calling the

2391
01:28:46,350 --> 01:28:48,550
president a liar and a murderer during his

2392
01:28:48,550 --> 01:28:48,910
speech.

2393
01:28:49,330 --> 01:28:52,530
And meanwhile, Governor Abigail Spanberger of Virginia gave

2394
01:28:52,530 --> 01:28:55,690
the official Democratic rebuttal, criticizing President Trump's immigration

2395
01:28:55,690 --> 01:28:56,130
policy.

2396
01:28:56,290 --> 01:28:58,410
Our president told us tonight that we are

2397
01:28:58,410 --> 01:29:02,650
safer because these agents arrest mothers and detain

2398
01:29:02,650 --> 01:29:03,010
children.

2399
01:29:03,530 --> 01:29:04,730
Think about that.

2400
01:29:05,290 --> 01:29:08,910
Our broken immigration system is something to be

2401
01:29:08,910 --> 01:29:12,770
fixed, not an excuse for unaccountable agents to

2402
01:29:12,770 --> 01:29:14,490
terrorize our communities.

2403
01:29:15,810 --> 01:29:16,490
What?

2404
01:29:17,670 --> 01:29:18,250
Yeah.

2405
01:29:19,070 --> 01:29:19,990
Oh, brother.

2406
01:29:20,590 --> 01:29:21,270
No.

2407
01:29:21,590 --> 01:29:22,450
Oh, brother.

2408
01:29:22,890 --> 01:29:25,510
But you should have seen the alternate events

2409
01:29:25,510 --> 01:29:26,430
with the fraud.

2410
01:29:26,710 --> 01:29:29,030
I have a clip, a very short clip

2411
01:29:29,030 --> 01:29:30,150
about that from Reuters.

2412
01:29:30,370 --> 01:29:33,670
Several Democrats opted to skip Trump's speech and

2413
01:29:33,670 --> 01:29:36,510
instead went to an event dubbed the People's

2414
01:29:36,510 --> 01:29:37,650
State of the Union.

2415
01:29:37,830 --> 01:29:39,850
Others went to a different counter event called

2416
01:29:39,850 --> 01:29:42,870
the State of the Swamp, where actor Robert

2417
01:29:42,870 --> 01:29:46,470
De Niro addressed the crowd, including activists dressed

2418
01:29:46,470 --> 01:29:47,370
as frogs.

2419
01:29:47,590 --> 01:29:51,270
I mean, again, it's all so they're all

2420
01:29:51,270 --> 01:29:53,450
now they're trying to get the influencers to

2421
01:29:53,450 --> 01:29:54,250
pay attention to.

2422
01:29:54,370 --> 01:29:56,390
Look, we got we're dressed as frogs.

2423
01:29:56,510 --> 01:29:58,010
Oh, yeah, this will go viral.

2424
01:29:58,550 --> 01:29:59,510
Yeah, it'll go viral.

2425
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,130
No problem.

2426
01:30:01,570 --> 01:30:04,730
You know, someone asked me, like, well, how

2427
01:30:04,730 --> 01:30:06,970
can Ilan Omar be yelling that?

2428
01:30:07,090 --> 01:30:08,470
I said, this goes back to the first

2429
01:30:08,470 --> 01:30:11,830
time I remember someone calling out the president

2430
01:30:11,830 --> 01:30:17,290
from from from the seats was President Obama

2431
01:30:17,290 --> 01:30:18,230
in 2009.

2432
01:30:18,550 --> 01:30:19,930
Was it the guy from?

2433
01:30:21,590 --> 01:30:23,010
I forget his name.

2434
01:30:23,010 --> 01:30:23,330
Wilson.

2435
01:30:23,630 --> 01:30:24,690
Joe Wilson called.

2436
01:30:24,810 --> 01:30:25,730
He's like, you're lying.

2437
01:30:26,010 --> 01:30:26,830
You're lying.

2438
01:30:27,170 --> 01:30:28,190
He's a liar.

2439
01:30:28,650 --> 01:30:31,830
And then Marjorie Taylor Greene called out Biden,

2440
01:30:31,890 --> 01:30:32,430
I think.

2441
01:30:32,430 --> 01:30:33,150
This is.

2442
01:30:33,290 --> 01:30:34,150
Yes, this is.

2443
01:30:35,810 --> 01:30:38,270
Get back to work, all of you.

2444
01:30:39,010 --> 01:30:39,850
Sick of it.

2445
01:30:40,690 --> 01:30:42,250
Now, I have one clip from the State

2446
01:30:42,250 --> 01:30:43,810
of the Union, because in case you didn't

2447
01:30:43,810 --> 01:30:47,290
know, we are now currently in the golden

2448
01:30:47,290 --> 01:30:47,990
age.

2449
01:30:48,290 --> 01:30:50,710
A primetime pitch to the nation from a

2450
01:30:50,710 --> 01:30:52,850
president not known for his brevity.

2451
01:30:53,590 --> 01:30:56,350
True to form, Donald Trump delivered the longest

2452
01:30:56,350 --> 01:30:58,670
State of the Union address in history.

2453
01:30:58,970 --> 01:31:00,550
I'm sure he went home and went like,

2454
01:31:00,550 --> 01:31:02,490
Melania, it was a lot.

2455
01:31:02,630 --> 01:31:04,930
I got the record longest state in the

2456
01:31:04,930 --> 01:31:05,150
Union.

2457
01:31:05,330 --> 01:31:06,270
Never had a longest.

2458
01:31:06,510 --> 01:31:08,010
Yeah, I'm sure he did it.

2459
01:31:08,350 --> 01:31:11,130
As his approval ratings slide and concerns about

2460
01:31:11,130 --> 01:31:15,790
affordability grow, the president insisted Americans have never

2461
01:31:15,790 --> 01:31:16,830
had it so good.

2462
01:31:17,150 --> 01:31:20,610
Our nation is back bigger, better, richer and

2463
01:31:20,610 --> 01:31:22,810
stronger than ever before.

2464
01:31:23,390 --> 01:31:26,010
His greatest hits were on full display.

2465
01:31:26,250 --> 01:31:29,310
No tax on tips, doubling down on tariffs

2466
01:31:29,310 --> 01:31:31,930
and a promise to stay tough on immigration.

2467
01:31:32,210 --> 01:31:35,010
The only thing standing between Americans and a

2468
01:31:35,010 --> 01:31:38,250
wide open border right now is President Donald

2469
01:31:38,250 --> 01:31:38,530
J.

2470
01:31:38,670 --> 01:31:41,330
Trump and our great Republican patriots in Congress.

2471
01:31:41,530 --> 01:31:41,930
Thank you.

2472
01:31:42,890 --> 01:31:46,230
The speech was often interrupted by cheers and

2473
01:31:46,230 --> 01:31:47,650
chants of USA.

2474
01:31:51,010 --> 01:31:53,250
The Olympic gold medal winners in the US

2475
01:31:53,250 --> 01:31:56,290
men's hockey team received a standing ovation.

2476
01:31:56,290 --> 01:32:02,720
But at times, tensions spilled into the chamber.

2477
01:32:02,860 --> 01:32:04,580
You should be ashamed of yourself.

2478
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:08,480
That is why I'm also asking you to

2479
01:32:08,480 --> 01:32:12,320
end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals.

2480
01:32:12,860 --> 01:32:15,960
And in that Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar shouted

2481
01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:18,980
in protest during the president's remarks on immigration

2482
01:32:18,980 --> 01:32:21,760
and the Somali community in her home city

2483
01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:22,400
of Minneapolis.

2484
01:32:23,500 --> 01:32:27,520
Fellow Democratic lawmaker Al Green was escorted from

2485
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:28,140
the chamber.

2486
01:32:28,140 --> 01:32:31,020
He had waved a sign protesting a video

2487
01:32:31,020 --> 01:32:34,480
the president had posted depicting the Obamas as

2488
01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:35,200
apes.

2489
01:32:36,180 --> 01:32:38,380
We're lucky we have a country with people

2490
01:32:38,380 --> 01:32:38,980
like this.

2491
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:42,400
Democrats are destroying our country, but we've stopped.

2492
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:44,900
And dozens of other Democrats had refused to

2493
01:32:44,900 --> 01:32:46,680
show up in the first place.

2494
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:49,200
Okay, it's also tiring.

2495
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:52,900
Like how many state of the unions have

2496
01:32:52,900 --> 01:32:54,700
we covered in the course of this show?

2497
01:32:55,020 --> 01:32:56,020
25 maybe?

2498
01:32:56,820 --> 01:32:59,580
Well, it comes out once a year, so

2499
01:32:59,580 --> 01:33:00,780
probably not 25.

2500
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:05,360
Well, it can't be 50.

2501
01:33:06,480 --> 01:33:07,740
I don't think I can remember that.

2502
01:33:07,740 --> 01:33:07,900
Once a year.

2503
01:33:08,380 --> 01:33:10,120
Yeah, but I guess we have.

2504
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:11,720
Once a year.

2505
01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:13,700
We've done about 18 of them.

2506
01:33:13,980 --> 01:33:14,180
Yeah.

2507
01:33:15,180 --> 01:33:15,500
Oh.

2508
01:33:16,900 --> 01:33:18,760
We have the most state of the union

2509
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:20,740
coverage in our podcast ever.

2510
01:33:21,580 --> 01:33:22,300
It's true.

2511
01:33:24,100 --> 01:33:24,840
You're not getting it.

2512
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:26,000
I'm not, but you know what I'm saying.

2513
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:27,220
If you're going to want to try it,

2514
01:33:27,220 --> 01:33:29,300
keep working on it, I'll encourage it.

2515
01:33:29,440 --> 01:33:30,560
There's so many people out there.

2516
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:33,340
I'd rather do Alex Jones.

2517
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:34,940
Hey, man, listen.

2518
01:33:35,420 --> 01:33:36,900
Iran is going to blow up.

2519
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:37,620
You know what's going to happen?

2520
01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:39,320
The Muslims are taking over Texas.

2521
01:33:39,480 --> 01:33:40,220
I read their documents.

2522
01:33:40,380 --> 01:33:40,920
I've seen it.

2523
01:33:41,060 --> 01:33:42,260
It's in their documents.

2524
01:33:42,460 --> 01:33:43,320
Yeah, you're Alex Jones.

2525
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:45,440
I'd say you're 90%.

2526
01:33:50,020 --> 01:33:52,780
And in fact, you're so far along, I

2527
01:33:52,780 --> 01:33:54,220
have no suggestions.

2528
01:33:54,220 --> 01:33:56,440
Normally, I'd say, well, if you could twist

2529
01:33:56,440 --> 01:33:56,580
it.

2530
01:33:56,580 --> 01:33:57,380
No prompting.

2531
01:33:57,480 --> 01:33:58,480
They have no prompts for me.

2532
01:33:58,540 --> 01:33:59,260
Oh, this is good.

2533
01:33:59,340 --> 01:34:01,720
Maybe the cadence could change.

2534
01:34:01,820 --> 01:34:03,420
I can't say any of that because you

2535
01:34:03,420 --> 01:34:05,860
got it to such an extreme that I

2536
01:34:05,860 --> 01:34:06,600
can't help.

2537
01:34:06,620 --> 01:34:07,500
I'm getting there, I'm getting there.

2538
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:08,840
It's up to you.

2539
01:34:09,780 --> 01:34:11,000
Get in front of a mirror.

2540
01:34:11,180 --> 01:34:13,160
That's still the big thing here in Texas.

2541
01:34:13,660 --> 01:34:16,040
Oh, Sharia law is coming.

2542
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:18,960
People say this to me.

2543
01:34:19,060 --> 01:34:20,440
Aren't you afraid of Sharia law?

2544
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:22,440
No.

2545
01:34:22,440 --> 01:34:25,140
But we're becoming Sweden.

2546
01:34:25,240 --> 01:34:26,120
We're becoming the UK.

2547
01:34:26,300 --> 01:34:27,340
I said, no.

2548
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:28,780
Check the numbers.

2549
01:34:29,220 --> 01:34:30,880
Our borders are closed.

2550
01:34:31,400 --> 01:34:34,820
And it took 25 years for this mess

2551
01:34:34,820 --> 01:34:35,800
to happen in the EU.

2552
01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:37,380
And I saw it happen.

2553
01:34:37,980 --> 01:34:40,980
I saw it before my very eyes.

2554
01:34:41,340 --> 01:34:43,780
And you need open borders for this to

2555
01:34:43,780 --> 01:34:44,100
happen.

2556
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:47,180
And a complete, always communist government.

2557
01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:54,780
And a complete subdued population.

2558
01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:58,260
But it's the Republican talking point.

2559
01:34:58,620 --> 01:35:00,560
Just like Mandami, it's going to be there

2560
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:01,140
everywhere.

2561
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:03,500
So that'd be pretty funny.

2562
01:35:05,260 --> 01:35:06,380
Anyway, Iran.

2563
01:35:06,740 --> 01:35:08,280
ABC report from this morning.

2564
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:11,120
The US is increasing its military presence in

2565
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:12,600
the Middle East, adding to its show of

2566
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:13,760
force against Iran.

2567
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:16,020
In a rare move, a US official telling

2568
01:35:16,020 --> 01:35:18,060
ABC News tonight about a dozen Air Force

2569
01:35:18,060 --> 01:35:20,860
F-22 fighters have now landed in Israel

2570
01:35:20,860 --> 01:35:21,220
tonight.

2571
01:35:21,580 --> 01:35:23,560
The fighters spotted taking off from a base

2572
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:24,040
in the UK.

2573
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:27,980
President Trump threatening US military action against Iran

2574
01:35:27,980 --> 01:35:30,940
unless the Iranian regime agrees to a nuclear

2575
01:35:30,940 --> 01:35:31,340
deal.

2576
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:32,880
All right.

2577
01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:33,240
All right.

2578
01:35:33,260 --> 01:35:34,140
We're ratcheting it up.

2579
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:34,780
Let's go to CBS.

2580
01:35:35,260 --> 01:35:38,740
The world's largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald

2581
01:35:38,740 --> 01:35:39,020
R.

2582
01:35:39,100 --> 01:35:41,740
Ford, sailed into an American naval base on

2583
01:35:41,740 --> 01:35:44,760
the Greek island of Crete today with multiple

2584
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:48,040
squadrons of F-18 fighter jets seen on

2585
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:48,500
deck.

2586
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:53,020
The Pentagon has moved at least 120 aircraft

2587
01:35:53,020 --> 01:35:55,580
to the region in the past two weeks

2588
01:35:55,580 --> 01:35:56,240
alone.

2589
01:35:57,620 --> 01:36:00,820
Pressure is mounting inside Iran, too.

2590
01:36:01,260 --> 01:36:04,420
Thousands of students protested against the regime, the

2591
01:36:04,420 --> 01:36:07,700
first demonstration since the brutal crackdown in January

2592
01:36:07,700 --> 01:36:09,780
that left thousands dead.

2593
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:12,640
President Trump is weighing his options.

2594
01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:14,360
I think they want to make a deal.

2595
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:18,040
I don't think they want the consequences of

2596
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:18,880
not making a deal.

2597
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:24,260
Potential targets could include Iran's ballistic missile sites,

2598
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:29,440
its nuclear facilities and the headquarters of the

2599
01:36:29,440 --> 01:36:31,460
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

2600
01:36:31,980 --> 01:36:35,060
Iran's foreign minister said the country was ready

2601
01:36:35,060 --> 01:36:35,660
to fight.

2602
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:37,740
We have a very good capability of missiles.

2603
01:36:38,100 --> 01:36:39,820
And now we are even in a better

2604
01:36:39,820 --> 01:36:41,280
situation than previous war.

2605
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:45,680
Iran has not only threatened retaliation against U

2606
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:48,380
.S. bases in the region, but Israel.

2607
01:36:48,580 --> 01:36:50,880
I love the Nat Pops in CBS's report.

2608
01:36:51,060 --> 01:36:53,300
They got explosion after explosion.

2609
01:36:53,580 --> 01:36:54,100
Directly.

2610
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:59,080
If Iran retaliates, it might not just be

2611
01:36:59,080 --> 01:36:59,380
Iran.

2612
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:01,400
We've been fighting the last two and a

2613
01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:03,520
half war on seven different fronts.

2614
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:05,500
We've seen multiple enemies.

2615
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:08,800
U.S. officials say if President Trump does

2616
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:12,020
decide to hit Iran, one option is a

2617
01:37:12,020 --> 01:37:15,900
joint military operation between the United States and

2618
01:37:15,900 --> 01:37:16,400
Israel.

2619
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:20,520
Both countries have discussed hitting Iran's ballistic missile

2620
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:20,960
sites.

2621
01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:24,600
Yeah, because, as you know, Bibi Netanyahu told

2622
01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:26,800
Trump what to do and Trump went, OK,

2623
01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:27,400
baby.

2624
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:34,540
Here's Canada's global news and then a surprising

2625
01:37:34,540 --> 01:37:36,680
report from France 24.

2626
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:39,580
With his country still inching towards conflict, U

2627
01:37:39,580 --> 01:37:41,880
.S. President Donald Trump used some of his

2628
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:43,900
primetime speech to issue a direct warning to

2629
01:37:43,900 --> 01:37:46,140
Iran to give up its nuclear desires.

2630
01:37:46,460 --> 01:37:48,020
We wiped it out and they want to

2631
01:37:48,020 --> 01:37:49,140
start all over again.

2632
01:37:49,580 --> 01:37:52,140
Iranian officials pushed back on Trump's rhetoric, calling

2633
01:37:52,140 --> 01:37:53,700
it, quote, big lies.

2634
01:37:55,120 --> 01:37:57,960
We're in no way seeking nuclear weapons, Iran's

2635
01:37:57,960 --> 01:38:01,220
president said in recent days, despite sites destroyed

2636
01:38:01,220 --> 01:38:04,440
in 2025 appearing to be rebuilt, which adds

2637
01:38:04,440 --> 01:38:07,200
pressure to another round of upcoming diplomatic talks.

2638
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:09,860
The president was measured when it came to

2639
01:38:09,860 --> 01:38:11,180
the conflict in Iran.

2640
01:38:11,460 --> 01:38:13,700
He definitely didn't saber rattle.

2641
01:38:13,860 --> 01:38:15,280
He didn't make threats.

2642
01:38:15,460 --> 01:38:16,540
He didn't need to.

2643
01:38:16,900 --> 01:38:19,060
The massive U.S. military buildup around Iran

2644
01:38:19,060 --> 01:38:21,000
speaks to America's distrust.

2645
01:38:21,380 --> 01:38:24,440
If you choose diplomacy and respect Iran's dignity

2646
01:38:24,440 --> 01:38:27,600
and interests, Iran's parliamentary speaker said we will

2647
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:28,300
stay at the table.

2648
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:30,420
The U.S. has hinted at potential olive

2649
01:38:30,420 --> 01:38:33,060
branches, including small scale uranium enrichment.

2650
01:38:33,460 --> 01:38:36,460
There's zero path to a nuclear weapon and

2651
01:38:36,460 --> 01:38:39,200
failure to do so could result in consequences.

2652
01:38:39,840 --> 01:38:42,300
This is him making the decision to use

2653
01:38:42,300 --> 01:38:44,860
military force to achieve his own policy objectives.

2654
01:38:45,100 --> 01:38:47,500
There are reports senior Pentagon officials have expressed

2655
01:38:47,500 --> 01:38:50,660
concerns about a large response, saying munitions stockpiles

2656
01:38:50,660 --> 01:38:52,720
are low due to American defense of Israel

2657
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:55,980
and support for Ukraine, potentially giving the president

2658
01:38:55,980 --> 01:38:57,420
room to delay his decision.

2659
01:38:57,580 --> 01:38:59,860
That probably gave the American people a little

2660
01:38:59,860 --> 01:39:01,740
bit of a sigh of relief, but it

2661
01:39:01,740 --> 01:39:04,160
doesn't absolve the fact that this is still

2662
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:05,540
a very hot situation.

2663
01:39:05,900 --> 01:39:08,380
And the president has to convince people that

2664
01:39:08,380 --> 01:39:10,420
this is in the nation's best interest.

2665
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:13,220
Still, time is running out with a 10

2666
01:39:13,220 --> 01:39:15,580
or 15 day deadline imposed by Donald Trump

2667
01:39:15,580 --> 01:39:17,140
quickly coming to an end.

2668
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:22,020
OK, so what we discussed on the last

2669
01:39:22,020 --> 01:39:23,900
show, I think, is still very much in

2670
01:39:23,900 --> 01:39:24,180
play.

2671
01:39:24,260 --> 01:39:26,640
This is to stop any any oil going

2672
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:27,980
to China or to Russia.

2673
01:39:28,780 --> 01:39:30,740
Hey, let us in.

2674
01:39:30,940 --> 01:39:33,840
Let our American companies set up shop.

2675
01:39:33,980 --> 01:39:34,960
We'll do the refining.

2676
01:39:35,140 --> 01:39:35,900
We'll do the shipping.

2677
01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:38,080
We'll do drop shipping for you.

2678
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:40,140
We'll do gift cards, whatever you want.

2679
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:40,940
We'll take care of that.

2680
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:43,200
We'll even give you some of those cool

2681
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:46,440
little reactors that we that we're shipping around

2682
01:39:46,440 --> 01:39:48,360
with the air forces flying all over the

2683
01:39:48,360 --> 01:39:48,700
place.

2684
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:50,380
Just do a deal.

2685
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:54,160
I still don't understand why the president to

2686
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:55,800
me is lying about this.

2687
01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:58,000
You know, I want to rebuild.

2688
01:39:58,480 --> 01:40:01,100
It just doesn't ring true at all.

2689
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:05,200
And France 24 came very close, I think,

2690
01:40:05,220 --> 01:40:05,900
in this report.

2691
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:09,480
The big, big issue as well is for

2692
01:40:09,480 --> 01:40:12,920
the US to debunk and destabilize the access

2693
01:40:12,920 --> 01:40:15,540
that goes from Iran to China and also

2694
01:40:15,540 --> 01:40:15,940
Russia.

2695
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:19,440
And only then people like Jared Kushner will

2696
01:40:19,440 --> 01:40:22,520
appreciate the fact that possibly they can implement

2697
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:25,900
the peace board, the extension of Abraham Accords

2698
01:40:25,900 --> 01:40:29,400
and reshape this region for which they also

2699
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:32,160
have a vision, an ambition and their own

2700
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:32,800
ideology.

2701
01:40:33,440 --> 01:40:35,700
And we'll see in the coming days how

2702
01:40:35,700 --> 01:40:39,440
their own strategy plans applies on the ground.

2703
01:40:39,660 --> 01:40:42,380
Sarah Krebs, speaking of China, we've had in

2704
01:40:42,380 --> 01:40:45,540
the last days talk about intelligence sharing on

2705
01:40:45,540 --> 01:40:47,800
the part of Beijing for Tehran.

2706
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,360
Your thoughts on again, is this more than

2707
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:52,300
just the United States versus Iran?

2708
01:40:52,460 --> 01:40:53,660
And what is the role of China in

2709
01:40:53,660 --> 01:40:54,040
all this?

2710
01:40:54,140 --> 01:40:57,000
Yeah, this seems like classic realpolitik on the

2711
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,100
ground, which is sort of the enemy of

2712
01:40:59,100 --> 01:41:00,540
my enemy is my friend.

2713
01:41:00,540 --> 01:41:02,720
Right now, it seems as though there are

2714
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:05,560
these kind of two worlds, U.S. allies,

2715
01:41:05,860 --> 01:41:08,360
China, its allies, and then these kind of

2716
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:10,480
the Indias of the world that are trying

2717
01:41:10,480 --> 01:41:11,700
to navigate the middle.

2718
01:41:11,860 --> 01:41:14,540
And so it's not surprising that China is

2719
01:41:14,540 --> 01:41:16,320
trying to align a little bit with Iran

2720
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,740
in order to push back in a balance

2721
01:41:18,740 --> 01:41:20,440
of power kind of way against the United

2722
01:41:20,440 --> 01:41:23,280
States, because that's kind of what these spheres

2723
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:24,660
of influence are right now.

2724
01:41:24,740 --> 01:41:26,540
So it's not surprising at all.

2725
01:41:26,760 --> 01:41:29,940
First time I've heard any news report talk

2726
01:41:29,940 --> 01:41:34,720
about China in regards to this Iranian gambit.

2727
01:41:35,500 --> 01:41:37,100
I'm glad somebody picked it up.

2728
01:41:37,340 --> 01:41:38,560
Barely, though, barely.

2729
01:41:38,660 --> 01:41:40,680
It's like, come on, it's so obvious.

2730
01:41:41,440 --> 01:41:44,340
After Venezuela, this is now this is what

2731
01:41:44,340 --> 01:41:45,120
has to happen.

2732
01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:47,660
And, you know, you're not going to get

2733
01:41:47,660 --> 01:41:50,200
your oil out of the Straits of Hormuz

2734
01:41:50,200 --> 01:41:51,560
through the armada.

2735
01:41:52,500 --> 01:41:55,640
So do a deal and then come on

2736
01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:58,620
into the world and everybody can play nice.

2737
01:41:59,100 --> 01:42:00,820
Can it be anything else?

2738
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:03,800
It's clearly not some nuclear facility.

2739
01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:05,960
No one is saying we'll have the bomb

2740
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:06,660
in one week.

2741
01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:07,340
Nukes coming.

2742
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:08,660
That's off the table.

2743
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:11,060
Well, Whitkoff did say that recently.

2744
01:42:11,060 --> 01:42:12,060
Oh, yeah, I don't have the clip.

2745
01:42:12,620 --> 01:42:13,840
Out of the blue.

2746
01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:15,680
I think this was like about three or

2747
01:42:15,680 --> 01:42:16,380
four days ago.

2748
01:42:16,500 --> 01:42:18,480
Whitkoff has said exactly that.

2749
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:19,800
Oh, what a douche.

2750
01:42:19,940 --> 01:42:20,920
He's what it was.

2751
01:42:21,040 --> 01:42:21,320
I see.

2752
01:42:21,440 --> 01:42:22,900
I think he had his binder and he

2753
01:42:22,900 --> 01:42:24,320
flipped to the wrong tab.

2754
01:42:24,440 --> 01:42:25,260
He's off script.

2755
01:42:25,780 --> 01:42:28,220
And it was like from five years ago.

2756
01:42:28,260 --> 01:42:29,520
He's getting what you say.

2757
01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:31,700
He's getting he's getting his information from chat

2758
01:42:31,700 --> 01:42:32,700
GPT on the flight.

2759
01:42:32,820 --> 01:42:35,300
Well, Bixby said books beside the gun have

2760
01:42:35,300 --> 01:42:36,480
a nuke in the one week.

2761
01:42:37,100 --> 01:42:37,980
So one week.

2762
01:42:37,980 --> 01:42:41,300
So one of the most controversial things that

2763
01:42:41,300 --> 01:42:43,820
I have ever seen happen on this show

2764
01:42:44,540 --> 01:42:46,480
as we made a call out and said,

2765
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:50,480
listen, we have now seen so many times

2766
01:42:50,480 --> 01:42:54,840
a social media post where American troops are

2767
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:56,800
being served steak and lobster.

2768
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:01,420
And it immediately goes around as that's it.

2769
01:43:01,580 --> 01:43:03,340
Steak and lobster, steak and lobster.

2770
01:43:03,620 --> 01:43:04,940
They're going to be deployed.

2771
01:43:05,100 --> 01:43:05,880
Strikes are coming.

2772
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:09,900
And I said, please, to our military producers,

2773
01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:11,480
of which there are many.

2774
01:43:12,100 --> 01:43:14,620
Could you please let me know what your

2775
01:43:14,620 --> 01:43:16,120
what your experiences?

2776
01:43:16,760 --> 01:43:20,200
Well, this is super interesting because it may

2777
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:25,380
have to do with what service you're in.

2778
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:27,260
But I will share a few of the

2779
01:43:27,260 --> 01:43:27,720
I'm sorry.

2780
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:30,400
Yes, we have two notes in particular and

2781
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:31,800
they contradict each other.

2782
01:43:31,860 --> 01:43:33,920
Well, I have about eight notes that contradict

2783
01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:34,540
each other.

2784
01:43:35,260 --> 01:43:35,820
First one.

2785
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:37,580
I spent 31 years in the Navy, went

2786
01:43:37,580 --> 01:43:39,300
on deployment and they give us steak and

2787
01:43:39,300 --> 01:43:39,620
lobster.

2788
01:43:39,820 --> 01:43:42,940
It's usually because we're getting extended and not

2789
01:43:42,940 --> 01:43:43,560
going home.

2790
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:44,220
It's true.

2791
01:43:45,020 --> 01:43:45,760
Next one.

2792
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:47,560
My husband, who served in the army and

2793
01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:49,980
retired after 20 years of service in 2021,

2794
01:43:50,380 --> 01:43:53,140
had seven tours to Iraq and Afghanistan, said

2795
01:43:53,140 --> 01:43:55,560
a very long time ago when chow halls

2796
01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:57,700
and kitchens were only a couple of bases.

2797
01:43:57,860 --> 01:44:00,160
They would ship hot meals in these military

2798
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:02,760
Yetis, and they would serve that before after

2799
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:04,760
an operation in the early 2000s.

2800
01:44:04,860 --> 01:44:07,620
But now it's every Friday everywhere, basically all

2801
01:44:07,620 --> 01:44:08,600
the time on Friday.

2802
01:44:08,740 --> 01:44:10,420
So the videos that are going around social

2803
01:44:10,420 --> 01:44:12,280
media are just Friday.

2804
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:13,620
Next one.

2805
01:44:13,940 --> 01:44:15,360
Yeah, I love these.

2806
01:44:16,700 --> 01:44:19,340
Your sense that this was BS and brother,

2807
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:20,060
you are right.

2808
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:22,280
I served as a cook in the US

2809
01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:22,720
Army.

2810
01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:24,340
Now we have Navy and Army different things

2811
01:44:24,340 --> 01:44:27,020
for 10 years from 88 to 98.

2812
01:44:27,660 --> 01:44:30,380
I've served in both procurement and production capacities

2813
01:44:30,380 --> 01:44:32,360
in large scale dining facilities.

2814
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:35,320
These operate on a modest budget.

2815
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:37,440
Generally, they plan for a three week menu

2816
01:44:37,440 --> 01:44:41,820
to cycle to balance consistency with variety while

2817
01:44:41,820 --> 01:44:44,420
special meals were planned in and they could

2818
01:44:44,420 --> 01:44:46,280
deviate under special circumstances.

2819
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,200
It was rarely done to done to financial

2820
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:50,020
constraints.

2821
01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:52,280
In September every year, it was clear which

2822
01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:53,900
facilities had budgeted well.

2823
01:44:53,900 --> 01:44:56,920
Those who who would shift to steak and

2824
01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:57,380
shrimp.

2825
01:44:57,740 --> 01:44:59,400
We never produce lobster weekly.

2826
01:45:00,440 --> 01:45:03,080
Those which manage finances poorly would swap ham

2827
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:05,400
and omelets to bologna and orange juice to

2828
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:07,700
Kool-Aid to cut costs ahead of the

2829
01:45:07,700 --> 01:45:08,860
first fiscal year.

2830
01:45:09,440 --> 01:45:12,820
So okay, then we have retired from the

2831
01:45:12,820 --> 01:45:15,780
Army 2018 Master Sergeant 20 years of active

2832
01:45:15,780 --> 01:45:16,500
duty service.

2833
01:45:16,500 --> 01:45:19,500
The steak and lobster theory is bullshit.

2834
01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:22,200
I can only speak from the Army perspective.

2835
01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:24,300
The Air Force probably has steak and lobster

2836
01:45:24,300 --> 01:45:25,780
on the days they don't have prime rib

2837
01:45:25,780 --> 01:45:26,480
and caviar.

2838
01:45:28,100 --> 01:45:30,200
With that being said, most soldiers don't even

2839
01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:32,800
eat in the dining facilities outside of breakfast.

2840
01:45:33,180 --> 01:45:35,080
Even the numbers are smaller than most people

2841
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:35,420
assume.

2842
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:37,800
I believe there's the theory that all soldiers

2843
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:39,840
live in barracks with a chow hall across

2844
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:40,340
the street.

2845
01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:42,800
Most soldiers live at home with their family

2846
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:45,080
either on post housing or in a house

2847
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:46,720
or apartment off base.

2848
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:48,560
They eat their dinners at home, take their

2849
01:45:48,560 --> 01:45:49,960
lunch or go out and eat at one

2850
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:51,700
of the many fast food restaurants in base.

2851
01:45:51,700 --> 01:45:53,800
If they are in a defense ready for

2852
01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:56,460
status, they're still living off post, can't drink

2853
01:45:56,460 --> 01:45:58,420
and usually have an hour recall and could

2854
01:45:58,420 --> 01:46:00,020
be anywhere in the world in about 18

2855
01:46:00,020 --> 01:46:00,400
hours.

2856
01:46:01,380 --> 01:46:03,780
Soldiers living in the barracks are generally on

2857
01:46:03,780 --> 01:46:05,760
a meal card that allows them to eat

2858
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:07,240
at the dining facility for free.

2859
01:46:07,740 --> 01:46:08,860
Everyone else gets charged.

2860
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:11,400
Soldiers not on meal card are on basic

2861
01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:12,700
allowance for the substance.

2862
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:15,480
They are paid $476 a month to get

2863
01:46:15,480 --> 01:46:17,120
their own food wherever they wish.

2864
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:21,080
Then we have Commodore Matt, the metal bender.

2865
01:46:21,080 --> 01:46:23,080
I just heard your immediate call to arms.

2866
01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:23,880
I can confirm.

2867
01:46:24,240 --> 01:46:27,060
I served in the US Navy and it

2868
01:46:27,060 --> 01:46:28,940
was widely known if you get surf and

2869
01:46:28,940 --> 01:46:30,780
turf while you're out at sea, bad news

2870
01:46:30,780 --> 01:46:31,240
is coming.

2871
01:46:31,660 --> 01:46:33,580
Some ships would also bring out ice cream

2872
01:46:33,580 --> 01:46:35,460
machines that they didn't usually have for the

2873
01:46:35,460 --> 01:46:36,000
same purpose.

2874
01:46:36,220 --> 01:46:38,760
The idea was to boost morale before dealing

2875
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:39,900
a big blow.

2876
01:46:40,560 --> 01:46:43,160
So it seems the Navy may be doing

2877
01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:43,540
this.

2878
01:46:44,160 --> 01:46:45,940
Then we have the final one, Sir M,

2879
01:46:46,440 --> 01:46:47,500
mad son of Mid Valley.

2880
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:50,200
I deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan a few times.

2881
01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:52,260
I've enjoyed many meals at dining facilities in

2882
01:46:52,260 --> 01:46:53,540
Kuwait, Qatar, and Romania.

2883
01:46:54,060 --> 01:46:55,440
I can tell you from my experience that

2884
01:46:55,440 --> 01:46:57,780
service members eating steak, lobster, and crab means

2885
01:46:57,780 --> 01:46:58,440
it's Friday.

2886
01:46:58,820 --> 01:47:01,260
Friday night is usually surf and turf night,

2887
01:47:01,460 --> 01:47:03,620
just like Wednesday is wings night, and Tuesday

2888
01:47:03,620 --> 01:47:05,900
is taco night in many chow halls and

2889
01:47:05,900 --> 01:47:08,320
dining facilities military wide.

2890
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,600
So the only thing I can see here

2891
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:15,420
is that maybe the Navy does this, but

2892
01:47:15,420 --> 01:47:17,600
everybody else seems to think it's just Friday.

2893
01:47:19,220 --> 01:47:21,600
I think we've solved this.

2894
01:47:22,580 --> 01:47:25,000
I wouldn't know much to solve, but at

2895
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:28,240
least we got the bullcrap out of the

2896
01:47:28,240 --> 01:47:28,560
way.

2897
01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:30,880
It's Friday.

2898
01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:34,440
Thank you for the social media and it's

2899
01:47:34,440 --> 01:47:35,460
great insights.

2900
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:36,800
And with that, I want to thank you

2901
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:37,380
for your courage.

2902
01:47:37,500 --> 01:47:38,760
Say in the morning to you, the man

2903
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:40,660
who put the sea in China's role in

2904
01:47:40,660 --> 01:47:40,960
Iran.

2905
01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:42,340
Say hello to my friend on the other

2906
01:47:42,340 --> 01:47:44,900
end, the one, the only Mr. John C.

2907
01:47:44,940 --> 01:47:45,320
DuBois.

2908
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:53,900
And the morning to the trolls in the

2909
01:47:53,900 --> 01:47:54,320
troll room.

2910
01:47:54,420 --> 01:47:55,500
Let me count you for a second.

2911
01:48:00,440 --> 01:48:03,380
1532, it should be 1800 today.

2912
01:48:03,520 --> 01:48:05,460
Those are the trolls hanging out in the

2913
01:48:05,460 --> 01:48:05,920
troll room.

2914
01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:09,920
That means they are listening live either at

2915
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:13,680
trollroom.io or noagendastream.com, or perhaps they're

2916
01:48:13,680 --> 01:48:16,440
using one of those fabulous modern podcast apps.

2917
01:48:16,440 --> 01:48:18,060
Can't wait for the new pod verse to

2918
01:48:18,060 --> 01:48:18,400
come out.

2919
01:48:18,480 --> 01:48:20,660
It's going to blow the socks off of

2920
01:48:20,660 --> 01:48:21,080
everybody.

2921
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:23,780
Oh, I had podcasting news, by the way.

2922
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:25,760
Podcasting news.

2923
01:48:27,300 --> 01:48:28,980
Yes, I had podcasting news.

2924
01:48:29,580 --> 01:48:33,540
So, you know, everyone's like, oh, you got

2925
01:48:33,540 --> 01:48:34,700
to do a video podcast.

2926
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:36,940
Video podcast is got, if it's not a

2927
01:48:36,940 --> 01:48:38,980
video podcast, it's got to be a video

2928
01:48:38,980 --> 01:48:39,340
podcast.

2929
01:48:39,940 --> 01:48:42,020
So Spotify was the first to jump on

2930
01:48:42,020 --> 01:48:42,780
the video podcast.

2931
01:48:43,340 --> 01:48:45,460
Yeah, you can upload your video to us

2932
01:48:45,460 --> 01:48:46,760
for your video podcast.

2933
01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:52,300
What's happening is the and boy, we could

2934
01:48:52,300 --> 01:48:54,480
have seen this coming from a mile away.

2935
01:48:55,460 --> 01:48:58,020
Now that you can create video podcasts and

2936
01:48:58,020 --> 01:49:01,000
Spotify will put you up there in the

2937
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:02,160
top ranking podcast.

2938
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:04,020
Because, of course, it's all about the chart,

2939
01:49:04,100 --> 01:49:04,320
man.

2940
01:49:04,380 --> 01:49:05,480
You got to be in the chart.

2941
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:06,780
If you're not in the chart, no one's

2942
01:49:06,780 --> 01:49:07,740
going to listen to your podcast.

2943
01:49:07,980 --> 01:49:09,920
Certainly not watch your podcast.

2944
01:49:10,620 --> 01:49:13,220
So guess what shows up in between Megyn

2945
01:49:13,220 --> 01:49:15,680
Kelly and Joe Rogan and others?

2946
01:49:16,700 --> 01:49:17,000
Porn.

2947
01:49:21,070 --> 01:49:23,150
There's all these porn podcasts.

2948
01:49:23,710 --> 01:49:25,590
And now Spotify is going, what's a porn

2949
01:49:25,590 --> 01:49:26,630
podcast do?

2950
01:49:27,290 --> 01:49:30,930
They're just uploading porn as a podcast.

2951
01:49:31,250 --> 01:49:32,330
And calling it a podcast.

2952
01:49:32,850 --> 01:49:36,530
Hey, hey, today's redhead day.

2953
01:49:37,250 --> 01:49:38,530
What do you think, Adam?

2954
01:49:38,550 --> 01:49:40,010
We got some redheads lined up.

2955
01:49:40,010 --> 01:49:41,430
Oh, yeah, there's a bunch of them.

2956
01:49:41,570 --> 01:49:44,710
They all get the skinny ones, me, the

2957
01:49:44,710 --> 01:49:46,770
big ones, the top heavy ones.

2958
01:49:47,130 --> 01:49:48,410
What are we going to start with today,

2959
01:49:48,530 --> 01:49:48,690
Adam?

2960
01:49:48,710 --> 01:49:49,290
What do you think?

2961
01:49:50,290 --> 01:49:51,810
All I can do is go back to

2962
01:49:51,810 --> 01:49:52,210
this.

2963
01:50:00,330 --> 01:50:03,150
So now Spotify, it's like so obvious this

2964
01:50:03,150 --> 01:50:03,870
is going to happen.

2965
01:50:04,230 --> 01:50:07,590
Now Spotify has to employ 30 people to

2966
01:50:07,590 --> 01:50:10,030
go and check every video podcast to make

2967
01:50:10,030 --> 01:50:11,110
sure it's not porn.

2968
01:50:11,310 --> 01:50:13,630
Like, didn't you know that was going to

2969
01:50:13,630 --> 01:50:13,950
happen?

2970
01:50:14,790 --> 01:50:16,030
It's so obvious.

2971
01:50:17,830 --> 01:50:18,490
Porn.

2972
01:50:18,790 --> 01:50:20,690
And it's top in the charts.

2973
01:50:20,870 --> 01:50:22,410
Another obvious thing.

2974
01:50:22,870 --> 01:50:23,250
What?

2975
01:50:23,590 --> 01:50:24,250
Top of the charts.

2976
01:50:24,470 --> 01:50:25,470
Top of the charts.

2977
01:50:25,910 --> 01:50:26,910
We're number one.

2978
01:50:27,550 --> 01:50:30,270
Taking over Joe Rogan any moment now.

2979
01:50:32,610 --> 01:50:33,270
Hilarious.

2980
01:50:33,710 --> 01:50:37,550
Anyway, go to modern, newpodcastapps.com.

2981
01:50:38,150 --> 01:50:40,510
I think you can go to podcastapps.com,

2982
01:50:40,630 --> 01:50:40,770
actually.

2983
01:50:41,210 --> 01:50:42,650
Podcastapps, plural, .com.

2984
01:50:43,110 --> 01:50:44,570
And take a look at all the different

2985
01:50:44,570 --> 01:50:45,030
features.

2986
01:50:45,170 --> 01:50:47,550
Besides some of the really cool stuff that

2987
01:50:47,550 --> 01:50:52,050
you already are using, transcripts, chapters, location, what

2988
01:50:52,050 --> 01:50:54,170
people, great search capabilities.

2989
01:50:54,870 --> 01:50:56,690
You can also listen to many of your

2990
01:50:56,690 --> 01:50:59,310
favorite podcasts live when they stream live, like

2991
01:50:59,310 --> 01:51:01,230
your No Agenda show, and many more on

2992
01:51:01,230 --> 01:51:02,430
noagendastream.com.

2993
01:51:02,710 --> 01:51:04,590
So if you subscribe to the podcast, you'll

2994
01:51:04,590 --> 01:51:06,410
be notified when they go live.

2995
01:51:06,410 --> 01:51:07,670
You can listen to a live.

2996
01:51:07,710 --> 01:51:09,870
And as always, when they publish the podcast

2997
01:51:09,870 --> 01:51:12,070
within 90 seconds, you'll be notified.

2998
01:51:12,370 --> 01:51:14,330
That is a modern podcast app.

2999
01:51:14,390 --> 01:51:15,630
Except no substitutes.

3000
01:51:15,750 --> 01:51:16,890
Get rid of the legacy apps.

3001
01:51:18,110 --> 01:51:20,450
Value for Value is our podcast.

3002
01:51:20,590 --> 01:51:22,150
It's been that way for over 18 years.

3003
01:51:22,370 --> 01:51:24,850
And the only way we survive is by

3004
01:51:24,850 --> 01:51:27,690
you thinking that you, or you actually receiving

3005
01:51:27,690 --> 01:51:29,170
value and saying, you know, the show was

3006
01:51:29,170 --> 01:51:29,550
valuable.

3007
01:51:30,010 --> 01:51:32,010
There's something about it that it just, it

3008
01:51:32,010 --> 01:51:33,310
adds something to my life.

3009
01:51:33,650 --> 01:51:35,330
I feel so good about myself now.

3010
01:51:35,330 --> 01:51:36,990
What can I do to help these guys?

3011
01:51:37,130 --> 01:51:37,990
Oh, I know.

3012
01:51:38,650 --> 01:51:41,310
Send some value back whenever it's appropriate.

3013
01:51:41,470 --> 01:51:43,050
Any amount that you feel is right.

3014
01:51:43,170 --> 01:51:46,890
Go to noagendadonations.com and send the value

3015
01:51:46,890 --> 01:51:47,290
back.

3016
01:51:47,710 --> 01:51:48,930
Time, talent, treasure.

3017
01:51:49,070 --> 01:51:49,810
It's the three Ts.

3018
01:51:49,990 --> 01:51:52,890
Time and talent is also accepted in the

3019
01:51:52,890 --> 01:51:55,250
form of, for example, artwork that people would

3020
01:51:55,250 --> 01:51:55,810
do for us.

3021
01:51:56,330 --> 01:51:59,350
You can upload those to noagendaartgenerator.com.

3022
01:51:59,350 --> 01:52:01,850
And a lot of people had the same

3023
01:52:01,850 --> 01:52:05,130
idea for the artwork for episode 1845.

3024
01:52:05,130 --> 01:52:08,010
We titled that Slave Slab, which we totally

3025
01:52:08,010 --> 01:52:10,170
stole from some of the art because we're

3026
01:52:10,170 --> 01:52:11,410
trying to come up with the right name

3027
01:52:11,410 --> 01:52:11,850
for it.

3028
01:52:11,950 --> 01:52:12,630
We got it from Dan.

3029
01:52:12,790 --> 01:52:13,770
Dan, that's right.

3030
01:52:13,910 --> 01:52:15,370
O-B-G-Y-A-N.

3031
01:52:15,430 --> 01:52:15,810
Yes.

3032
01:52:15,970 --> 01:52:16,370
Four.

3033
01:52:16,530 --> 01:52:17,370
He's the one who coined it.

3034
01:52:17,370 --> 01:52:18,110
Thank you for remembering.

3035
01:52:18,410 --> 01:52:19,270
Thank you for remembering.

3036
01:52:19,510 --> 01:52:21,310
He coined it and...

3037
01:52:21,310 --> 01:52:24,970
Because we had Controller Slab and we knew

3038
01:52:24,970 --> 01:52:26,450
we were on the right track, but we

3039
01:52:26,450 --> 01:52:27,690
didn't have it just yet.

3040
01:52:27,690 --> 01:52:28,850
And then when we looked at the art,

3041
01:52:28,950 --> 01:52:30,650
we went, Oh, Slave Slab.

3042
01:52:30,950 --> 01:52:31,570
That's it.

3043
01:52:31,790 --> 01:52:34,150
Because these things are clearly not phones.

3044
01:52:34,850 --> 01:52:37,110
They are a slab that you are enslaved

3045
01:52:37,110 --> 01:52:37,510
to.

3046
01:52:37,810 --> 01:52:40,910
And then you're carrying it around literally in

3047
01:52:40,910 --> 01:52:43,850
your hand while walking down the street.

3048
01:52:44,590 --> 01:52:45,550
Sometimes two.

3049
01:52:45,730 --> 01:52:46,570
One in each hand.

3050
01:52:46,950 --> 01:52:47,790
It's amazing.

3051
01:52:48,390 --> 01:52:49,370
That's only women though.

3052
01:52:49,710 --> 01:52:51,310
For some reason, a lot of women have

3053
01:52:51,310 --> 01:52:51,890
two phones.

3054
01:52:52,450 --> 01:52:54,430
I think it's the family phone and the

3055
01:52:54,430 --> 01:52:54,650
work phone.

3056
01:52:54,650 --> 01:52:55,230
Just in case.

3057
01:52:55,870 --> 01:52:56,970
Just in case.

3058
01:52:58,410 --> 01:53:00,190
And we argued over...

3059
01:53:00,190 --> 01:53:02,110
Well, we discussed many different pieces.

3060
01:53:02,270 --> 01:53:08,210
We chose Rocket Boy's throwback to 2001.

3061
01:53:08,370 --> 01:53:09,610
Is it 2001 Odyssey?

3062
01:53:09,810 --> 01:53:10,250
Is that it?

3063
01:53:10,490 --> 01:53:10,750
Yeah.

3064
01:53:10,890 --> 01:53:13,190
And I was surprised by when we were

3065
01:53:13,190 --> 01:53:16,450
doing the post-mortem on the show afterwards

3066
01:53:16,450 --> 01:53:18,190
that you had never seen this movie.

3067
01:53:18,810 --> 01:53:20,970
I can't recall seeing it.

3068
01:53:21,030 --> 01:53:23,070
Of course, I know Open the Pod Bay

3069
01:53:23,070 --> 01:53:23,830
Doors, Hal.

3070
01:53:24,490 --> 01:53:26,550
But I don't think I've actually seen it.

3071
01:53:26,550 --> 01:53:27,870
So I have put it on the list.

3072
01:53:28,090 --> 01:53:29,330
I have put it on the list.

3073
01:53:30,210 --> 01:53:30,890
Well, you know...

3074
01:53:30,890 --> 01:53:31,390
I don't know.

3075
01:53:31,410 --> 01:53:33,150
You know, I'm thinking about it because that

3076
01:53:33,150 --> 01:53:35,010
movie came out in the 80s or the

3077
01:53:35,010 --> 01:53:35,630
70s.

3078
01:53:35,810 --> 01:53:37,770
Maybe I was in Holland and they didn't

3079
01:53:37,770 --> 01:53:38,370
have it.

3080
01:53:38,490 --> 01:53:38,770
It's possible.

3081
01:53:39,050 --> 01:53:41,310
But I'm wondering, because I haven't seen it

3082
01:53:41,310 --> 01:53:43,850
for a while, whether it's even watchable anymore.

3083
01:53:45,150 --> 01:53:47,210
That's probably why I have never gone.

3084
01:53:47,410 --> 01:53:48,550
It's like, oh, I should watch this thing.

3085
01:53:48,690 --> 01:53:49,470
You know what was interesting?

3086
01:53:49,790 --> 01:53:51,630
We wanted to watch Spin City.

3087
01:53:52,270 --> 01:53:53,730
We thought, you know, hey, it'd be fun

3088
01:53:53,730 --> 01:53:55,390
to watch Spin City with Michael J.

3089
01:53:55,490 --> 01:53:58,170
Fox as an old show to just kind

3090
01:53:58,170 --> 01:53:59,530
of reminisce.

3091
01:53:59,730 --> 01:54:01,010
That is not available.

3092
01:54:02,050 --> 01:54:03,890
And if you search for it, it says

3093
01:54:03,890 --> 01:54:06,910
not available because license expiration.

3094
01:54:08,270 --> 01:54:10,170
So there's a show that should be on

3095
01:54:10,170 --> 01:54:13,870
Pluto, or at least someone should pick that

3096
01:54:13,870 --> 01:54:14,070
up.

3097
01:54:14,130 --> 01:54:14,910
That was a good show.

3098
01:54:16,670 --> 01:54:18,710
Anyway, yeah, it may be unwatchable.

3099
01:54:18,830 --> 01:54:20,270
Kind of like the Colossus movie.

3100
01:54:21,210 --> 01:54:22,750
What was that thing called again?

3101
01:54:22,810 --> 01:54:24,030
The Forbidden Project.

3102
01:54:24,030 --> 01:54:26,630
I think that's still kind of watchable.

3103
01:54:28,890 --> 01:54:31,710
So it was Dan OBGYN 4.

3104
01:54:32,110 --> 01:54:34,830
And he's had the image, which I did

3105
01:54:34,830 --> 01:54:36,450
not remember because I probably haven't seen the

3106
01:54:36,450 --> 01:54:37,930
movie, that you said, that's the monolith.

3107
01:54:38,130 --> 01:54:38,790
It's the monolith.

3108
01:54:38,890 --> 01:54:39,270
Don't you see?

3109
01:54:39,310 --> 01:54:39,930
It's the monolith.

3110
01:54:40,370 --> 01:54:41,230
I'm like, what are you talking about?

3111
01:54:41,590 --> 01:54:42,910
It's a big phone in the middle of

3112
01:54:42,910 --> 01:54:43,350
a valley.

3113
01:54:46,290 --> 01:54:48,710
And Dan, I thought this was the art

3114
01:54:48,710 --> 01:54:49,270
I picked.

3115
01:54:50,670 --> 01:54:51,530
Yes, you did.

3116
01:54:51,530 --> 01:54:56,130
But Adam was so adamant about not getting

3117
01:54:56,130 --> 01:54:56,410
it.

3118
01:54:56,730 --> 01:54:59,750
I have to assume that if he didn't

3119
01:54:59,750 --> 01:55:00,830
get, I mean, there's a lot of people

3120
01:55:00,830 --> 01:55:02,410
that probably didn't get it if he didn't

3121
01:55:02,410 --> 01:55:02,850
get it.

3122
01:55:03,350 --> 01:55:06,910
And so we went to another version of

3123
01:55:06,910 --> 01:55:09,710
the same art, only more, I would say,

3124
01:55:09,830 --> 01:55:10,430
surreal.

3125
01:55:11,730 --> 01:55:13,890
And we picked the other version.

3126
01:55:14,170 --> 01:55:15,710
Which looks a lot like a phone in

3127
01:55:15,710 --> 01:55:17,210
front of an orange butt plug.

3128
01:55:18,090 --> 01:55:20,490
Which is the first thing you saw, which

3129
01:55:20,490 --> 01:55:22,870
I thought was dimensional thinking.

3130
01:55:23,310 --> 01:55:25,150
So it's like, holy mackerel, I didn't get

3131
01:55:25,150 --> 01:55:25,350
that.

3132
01:55:25,470 --> 01:55:26,870
I still can't see it, but OK.

3133
01:55:27,210 --> 01:55:28,510
When was the last time you saw a

3134
01:55:28,510 --> 01:55:28,950
butt plug?

3135
01:55:29,210 --> 01:55:31,010
I don't go around looking for them.

3136
01:55:33,670 --> 01:55:35,530
I think the last time I saw is

3137
01:55:35,530 --> 01:55:37,850
when Adam Schiff gave a speech.

3138
01:55:38,490 --> 01:55:39,810
There it is, everybody.

3139
01:55:40,370 --> 01:55:42,590
So thank you very much, Rocket Boy, for

3140
01:55:42,590 --> 01:55:44,130
bringing that beautiful piece of art.

3141
01:55:44,290 --> 01:55:46,250
And anybody can submit for the show.

3142
01:55:46,810 --> 01:55:50,570
Get your favorite AI thing to do it.

3143
01:55:50,670 --> 01:55:52,890
Sometimes people actually are real artists and like

3144
01:55:52,890 --> 01:55:53,850
to come in and do something.

3145
01:55:53,950 --> 01:55:54,730
We appreciate that.

3146
01:55:54,810 --> 01:55:57,510
If you do know Agenda, artgenerator.com.

3147
01:55:57,770 --> 01:56:00,170
And I should mention that I used another

3148
01:56:00,170 --> 01:56:03,530
piece, a third piece, for the newsletter, which

3149
01:56:03,530 --> 01:56:04,870
I just thought was cute.

3150
01:56:05,250 --> 01:56:09,330
Which was a moon by AI Slop, which

3151
01:56:09,330 --> 01:56:11,490
just has a little alien guy in the

3152
01:56:11,490 --> 01:56:13,570
moon holding up a sign saying the best

3153
01:56:13,570 --> 01:56:14,650
podcast in the universe.

3154
01:56:14,650 --> 01:56:16,830
I don't know why, I just thought it

3155
01:56:16,830 --> 01:56:20,690
was a very cute piece of art that

3156
01:56:20,690 --> 01:56:21,890
was just funny looking.

3157
01:56:23,970 --> 01:56:27,470
We always thank people who support us financially,

3158
01:56:27,730 --> 01:56:28,650
$50 and above.

3159
01:56:28,770 --> 01:56:31,510
Not under $50 for brevity and also for

3160
01:56:31,510 --> 01:56:32,590
reasons of anonymity.

3161
01:56:32,730 --> 01:56:33,670
There's a lot of people who just want

3162
01:56:33,670 --> 01:56:36,730
to give and they'll put in multiple $49

3163
01:56:36,730 --> 01:56:39,270
.99. So whatever it is, we appreciate that,

3164
01:56:39,350 --> 01:56:41,310
particularly the recurring donations.

3165
01:56:42,210 --> 01:56:44,910
$200 or above, not only will we read

3166
01:56:44,910 --> 01:56:47,790
your notes within reason, some long ones today,

3167
01:56:48,330 --> 01:56:50,410
but you also get a Hollywood credit of

3168
01:56:50,410 --> 01:56:53,050
associate executive producer, just like Dana Brunetti, who

3169
01:56:53,050 --> 01:56:53,790
I will be calling.

3170
01:56:54,730 --> 01:56:55,970
So not that I'm going to be calling

3171
01:56:55,970 --> 01:56:57,930
all of our associate executive producers, but he's

3172
01:56:57,930 --> 01:57:01,650
a big time Hollywood associate executive producer.

3173
01:57:01,890 --> 01:57:03,930
And you can put that credit into imdb

3174
01:57:03,930 --> 01:57:07,550
.com if you don't, just to prove that

3175
01:57:07,550 --> 01:57:08,950
you're an official producer.

3176
01:57:08,950 --> 01:57:11,910
And $300 or above, you get an executive

3177
01:57:11,910 --> 01:57:14,090
producer credit and we'll read your note as

3178
01:57:14,090 --> 01:57:14,290
well.

3179
01:57:14,370 --> 01:57:16,170
And that is exactly what Bob Newell did

3180
01:57:16,170 --> 01:57:17,530
from Penfield, Pennsylvania.

3181
01:57:17,950 --> 01:57:19,950
He sent in a note with his $350.

3182
01:57:20,310 --> 01:57:22,270
He says, greetings and gratitude from the far

3183
01:57:22,270 --> 01:57:24,630
flung realm on the borders of Clearfield and

3184
01:57:24,630 --> 01:57:26,190
Elk counties in Pennsylvania.

3185
01:57:27,410 --> 01:57:30,050
Your twice weekly alchemy of deconstruction, courage, and

3186
01:57:30,050 --> 01:57:33,470
borderline questionable clip curation continues to keep this

3187
01:57:33,470 --> 01:57:34,710
humble pastor sane.

3188
01:57:34,830 --> 01:57:36,250
Ah, we have a man of the cloth

3189
01:57:36,250 --> 01:57:36,470
here.

3190
01:57:37,190 --> 01:57:39,150
Truly your work as a shield against the

3191
01:57:39,150 --> 01:57:40,230
dragons of misinformation.

3192
01:57:40,570 --> 01:57:42,230
And I thank you for riding into battle

3193
01:57:42,230 --> 01:57:43,210
every episode.

3194
01:57:43,850 --> 01:57:47,010
As for me, I come not only as

3195
01:57:47,010 --> 01:57:49,330
a pastor in the stronghold of Du Bois,

3196
01:57:49,790 --> 01:57:52,430
Pennsylvania and nearby areas, but as a certified

3197
01:57:52,430 --> 01:57:53,490
dude named Ben.

3198
01:57:54,370 --> 01:57:57,450
This is the pastor who can fix your

3199
01:57:57,450 --> 01:57:57,730
pooter.

3200
01:57:58,490 --> 01:58:00,650
Forged in the ancient fires of computing.

3201
01:58:00,810 --> 01:58:02,730
I cut my teeth on an IBM 360

3202
01:58:02,730 --> 01:58:05,030
back when punch cards were plentiful and a

3203
01:58:05,030 --> 01:58:07,270
missing period could bring an entire kingdom to

3204
01:58:07,270 --> 01:58:07,870
its knees.

3205
01:58:08,730 --> 01:58:09,570
Good times.

3206
01:58:09,970 --> 01:58:12,190
Those early days taught me patience, precision, and

3207
01:58:12,190 --> 01:58:14,150
the sacred art of not dropping the box

3208
01:58:14,150 --> 01:58:14,690
of cards.

3209
01:58:15,270 --> 01:58:17,550
With this donation, I joyfully complete my night

3210
01:58:17,550 --> 01:58:18,370
layaway quest.

3211
01:58:18,790 --> 01:58:21,430
The accounting scrolls are enclosed for your inspection.

3212
01:58:21,610 --> 01:58:23,490
And so with due humility and a grin,

3213
01:58:23,810 --> 01:58:26,070
I request to be dubbed Sir Robert of

3214
01:58:26,070 --> 01:58:29,790
Penfield and request gnocchi and cornbread at the

3215
01:58:29,790 --> 01:58:30,310
round table.

3216
01:58:30,930 --> 01:58:32,630
If the round table permits, I'd also be

3217
01:58:32,630 --> 01:58:34,350
grateful for a mention on my little offering

3218
01:58:34,350 --> 01:58:35,530
to the wider world.

3219
01:58:36,090 --> 01:58:38,390
Lights, camera, devotion.

3220
01:58:38,970 --> 01:58:40,990
Now available on Amazon.com.

3221
01:58:41,430 --> 01:58:43,770
It's a resource meant to help folks connect

3222
01:58:43,770 --> 01:58:46,330
faith, story, and daily life.

3223
01:58:46,750 --> 01:58:47,790
No jingles needed.

3224
01:58:48,170 --> 01:58:50,730
Just my thanks, my tithe, and my continued

3225
01:58:50,730 --> 01:58:53,570
loyalty to the best podcast in the universe.

3226
01:58:53,930 --> 01:58:57,470
Actually, someone sent me a jingle that would

3227
01:58:57,470 --> 01:59:00,430
be perfect to play for our pastor friend

3228
01:59:00,430 --> 01:59:00,750
here.

3229
01:59:01,230 --> 01:59:02,470
It just came in this morning.

3230
01:59:03,570 --> 01:59:05,630
You've got prayers.

3231
01:59:09,010 --> 01:59:12,190
In case you don't want karma, we can

3232
01:59:12,190 --> 01:59:12,870
give you prayers.

3233
01:59:14,650 --> 01:59:16,070
Actually, there's a bunch of people out there

3234
01:59:16,070 --> 01:59:17,870
that don't want karma for exactly that reason.

3235
01:59:18,070 --> 01:59:18,190
I know.

3236
01:59:18,270 --> 01:59:19,310
That's why we have a jingle.

3237
01:59:19,730 --> 01:59:20,270
Isn't that cool?

3238
01:59:21,090 --> 01:59:23,490
It is upon request.

3239
01:59:23,730 --> 01:59:23,930
Yes.

3240
01:59:25,830 --> 01:59:29,790
Uh, Chris Cohen, Cohen, our cool.

3241
01:59:29,930 --> 01:59:30,570
Cool it.

3242
01:59:30,710 --> 01:59:34,650
Cohen now are in Oklahoma City.

3243
01:59:34,770 --> 01:59:35,670
Easy for you to say.

3244
01:59:35,930 --> 01:59:37,990
Three, three, three, six, nine.

3245
01:59:38,470 --> 01:59:41,870
This is a douchebag donation of the highest

3246
01:59:41,870 --> 01:59:42,250
order.

3247
01:59:43,290 --> 01:59:47,450
I've been listening since early 2020 and have

3248
01:59:47,450 --> 01:59:48,870
never donated.

3249
01:59:49,050 --> 01:59:49,550
Oh, okay.

3250
01:59:49,570 --> 01:59:50,470
Well, you know what that means?

3251
01:59:51,970 --> 01:59:53,970
You've been de-douched.

3252
01:59:56,090 --> 01:59:58,790
And I just want to celebrate the greatest

3253
01:59:58,790 --> 02:00:01,530
natural resource this country has to offer.

3254
02:00:03,110 --> 02:00:04,070
American boobs.

3255
02:00:05,390 --> 02:00:07,010
That was going to be the show.

3256
02:00:08,330 --> 02:00:09,730
American boobs.

3257
02:00:10,470 --> 02:00:11,410
Well, thank you, Chris.

3258
02:00:11,570 --> 02:00:11,950
American boobs.

3259
02:00:11,950 --> 02:00:12,570
Thank you, Chris.

3260
02:00:13,410 --> 02:00:17,090
Sir Rich is in Odenton, Maryland with our

3261
02:00:17,090 --> 02:00:20,030
favorite 333.33. Sir Rich here.

3262
02:00:20,150 --> 02:00:23,410
He says newsletter issue is CNAME redirecting underscore

3263
02:00:23,410 --> 02:00:26,410
demarkdvorak.org to dvorak.org, which has a

3264
02:00:26,410 --> 02:00:29,290
TXT record for the Sender Policy Framework, SPF.

3265
02:00:29,610 --> 02:00:31,670
This means that any system that uses demark

3266
02:00:31,670 --> 02:00:33,490
will see the SPF record and then reject

3267
02:00:33,490 --> 02:00:34,870
as broken demark.

3268
02:00:35,490 --> 02:00:37,970
I think that is exactly what Void Zero

3269
02:00:37,970 --> 02:00:38,930
was talking about.

3270
02:00:39,290 --> 02:00:40,050
But yeah, no Void Zero.

3271
02:00:40,210 --> 02:00:41,950
Everyone says this, but then when I use

3272
02:00:41,950 --> 02:00:42,910
the Google email.

3273
02:00:43,270 --> 02:00:43,550
Yeah.

3274
02:00:44,010 --> 02:00:45,130
I get the same numbers.

3275
02:00:46,310 --> 02:00:47,390
Same with what do you mean?

3276
02:00:47,510 --> 02:00:48,750
This is MailChimp.

3277
02:00:48,750 --> 02:00:51,110
This is the demark thing I agree with.

3278
02:00:52,210 --> 02:00:54,790
Well, Void Zero wants to help, but you

3279
02:00:54,790 --> 02:00:55,770
have to unblock it.

3280
02:00:55,810 --> 02:00:57,270
No, I'm going to try to have a

3281
02:00:57,270 --> 02:00:58,510
conversation with Void Zero.

3282
02:00:58,710 --> 02:00:59,630
You still haven't had that?

3283
02:00:59,650 --> 02:01:01,130
I sent him a note, but the note

3284
02:01:01,130 --> 02:01:02,710
that he's the note.

3285
02:01:02,890 --> 02:01:04,690
I sent him a note and his note

3286
02:01:04,690 --> 02:01:06,550
got rejected by his side.

3287
02:01:07,030 --> 02:01:08,650
I got it kicked back.

3288
02:01:10,570 --> 02:01:12,590
Hey, I have his phone number.

3289
02:01:12,910 --> 02:01:14,870
Just just a thought, you know, get your

3290
02:01:14,870 --> 02:01:15,170
slaves.

3291
02:01:15,170 --> 02:01:16,110
No, we do this.

3292
02:01:16,210 --> 02:01:16,990
We set up.

3293
02:01:17,130 --> 02:01:17,930
We set up shop.

3294
02:01:17,930 --> 02:01:19,690
It's hurting the show, man.

3295
02:01:21,170 --> 02:01:22,610
Well, we didn't hear these guys.

3296
02:01:25,170 --> 02:01:28,250
Heavy, heavier, heavier.

3297
02:01:29,370 --> 02:01:30,490
How do you pronounce it?

3298
02:01:30,630 --> 02:01:31,910
Have you have you?

3299
02:01:32,330 --> 02:01:33,370
It's not heavy.

3300
02:01:33,790 --> 02:01:34,190
Have you?

3301
02:01:34,330 --> 02:01:34,610
Yes.

3302
02:01:34,710 --> 02:01:36,590
Have you have Vasquez?

3303
02:01:36,850 --> 02:01:39,190
Mr. Vasquez in San Diego three, three, three,

3304
02:01:39,290 --> 02:01:39,610
three, three.

3305
02:01:39,670 --> 02:01:41,870
The second half of the show, a special

3306
02:01:41,870 --> 02:01:42,850
was outstanding.

3307
02:01:43,230 --> 02:01:44,670
But thank you for your help.

3308
02:01:44,670 --> 02:01:47,790
They help to see us through things with

3309
02:01:47,790 --> 02:01:48,950
the right perspective.

3310
02:01:49,130 --> 02:01:52,950
Jingles, Dr. Kiki, climate gate and Obama.

3311
02:01:53,210 --> 02:01:54,010
No, no, no.

3312
02:01:54,130 --> 02:01:55,530
I.T.M. Wow.

3313
02:01:55,570 --> 02:01:58,370
We haven't had a request for Dr. Kiki

3314
02:01:58,370 --> 02:01:59,670
in ages.

3315
02:02:01,030 --> 02:02:02,430
I think it's a science.

3316
02:02:03,190 --> 02:02:04,970
I know what it is, but it's just

3317
02:02:04,970 --> 02:02:06,910
I find that interesting.

3318
02:02:07,050 --> 02:02:07,470
Here we go.

3319
02:02:07,530 --> 02:02:08,910
But anyway, that was just my little.

3320
02:02:09,150 --> 02:02:09,490
I'm sorry.

3321
02:02:09,590 --> 02:02:10,030
That's the wrong.

3322
02:02:10,170 --> 02:02:10,690
There you go.

3323
02:02:10,750 --> 02:02:11,170
There you go.

3324
02:02:11,830 --> 02:02:12,970
It's so old.

3325
02:02:12,970 --> 02:02:15,030
I thought it was Kiki science.

3326
02:02:15,250 --> 02:02:16,110
Where's Dr. Kiki?

3327
02:02:17,630 --> 02:02:19,750
Uh, science, science, science.

3328
02:02:20,530 --> 02:02:21,570
We have a new science.

3329
02:02:21,830 --> 02:02:23,990
People are learning through science.

3330
02:02:24,550 --> 02:02:26,630
No, that's not it.

3331
02:02:27,150 --> 02:02:27,830
It's not it.

3332
02:02:28,090 --> 02:02:29,630
I never heard that one.

3333
02:02:29,830 --> 02:02:32,410
That's uh, I've seen it.

3334
02:02:33,290 --> 02:02:35,030
We have that one.

3335
02:02:35,090 --> 02:02:35,790
What happened to that?

3336
02:02:35,970 --> 02:02:37,850
I see Dr. Kiki science, but it's not

3337
02:02:37,850 --> 02:02:38,870
the one we're thinking of.

3338
02:02:40,210 --> 02:02:40,590
Hmm.

3339
02:02:42,030 --> 02:02:42,790
Dr. Kiki.

3340
02:02:44,310 --> 02:02:44,890
Well, that's it.

3341
02:02:45,570 --> 02:02:45,810
I have.

3342
02:02:45,830 --> 02:02:47,050
What has it done for you lately?

3343
02:02:47,910 --> 02:02:49,610
Well, this is, this is ridiculous.

3344
02:02:51,250 --> 02:02:52,010
It's gone.

3345
02:02:53,410 --> 02:02:55,530
Linux, Linux sucked it up, man.

3346
02:02:57,430 --> 02:02:58,730
This is not the right one.

3347
02:02:59,050 --> 02:02:59,750
This is a scheme.

3348
02:03:00,030 --> 02:03:01,590
This is a horrible scheme.

3349
02:03:01,690 --> 02:03:02,470
It was worth it.

3350
02:03:02,510 --> 02:03:03,430
We have that one.

3351
02:03:03,850 --> 02:03:04,150
I have.

3352
02:03:04,270 --> 02:03:05,790
What has science done for you lately?

3353
02:03:05,790 --> 02:03:09,170
What has science done for you lately?

3354
02:03:09,550 --> 02:03:10,510
I'm gonna have to leave it with that.

3355
02:03:10,590 --> 02:03:11,770
I can't find anything else.

3356
02:03:16,810 --> 02:03:23,290
No, we didn't need Obama.

3357
02:03:23,470 --> 02:03:24,290
No, Obama.

3358
02:03:24,430 --> 02:03:25,590
No, no, no, Obama.

3359
02:03:25,730 --> 02:03:26,210
No, no, no.

3360
02:03:26,210 --> 02:03:27,530
This is a rowdy crowd.

3361
02:03:30,290 --> 02:03:31,270
Come on, guys.

3362
02:03:31,770 --> 02:03:32,870
You're in my house.

3363
02:03:33,270 --> 02:03:33,950
Hold on a second.

3364
02:03:43,570 --> 02:03:44,950
Hey, hey, hey, hey.

3365
02:03:45,510 --> 02:03:45,910
Okay.

3366
02:03:46,170 --> 02:03:46,850
You know what?

3367
02:03:47,110 --> 02:03:47,730
Shame on you.

3368
02:03:48,150 --> 02:03:49,070
You shouldn't be doing this.

3369
02:03:49,590 --> 02:03:50,530
I do miss him.

3370
02:03:50,810 --> 02:03:51,410
Good times.

3371
02:03:52,910 --> 02:03:55,090
Dennis Caddell or Cadel, not sure.

3372
02:03:55,750 --> 02:03:56,750
He's in Tampa, Florida.

3373
02:03:56,830 --> 02:03:57,550
We know that for sure.

3374
02:03:57,610 --> 02:04:00,570
He comes up with $333 to support the

And by the way He says Oh Emboldened

3419
02:06:22,390 --> 02:06:25,070
what's wrong with sneaking in the verbal equivalent

3420
02:06:25,070 --> 02:06:27,910
of waving something shiny to distract your partner

3421
02:06:27,910 --> 02:06:31,290
towards a better topic Incidentally, I see what

3422
02:06:31,290 --> 02:06:31,870
he's doing here.

3423
02:06:31,990 --> 02:06:33,970
He's giving us some new words to use

3424
02:06:34,690 --> 02:06:37,390
Incidentally, most people do prefer to hear themselves

3425
02:06:37,390 --> 02:06:40,290
speak quite unlike the typical Noah Jenna listener

3426
02:06:40,290 --> 02:06:42,390
We have the foresight to listen to our

3427
02:06:42,390 --> 02:06:46,390
beloved crock pot and puzzle Analyze the news

3428
02:06:46,390 --> 02:06:48,470
of the day or even the news of

3429
02:06:48,470 --> 02:06:51,910
yesteryear that reminds me He's using all the

3430
02:06:51,910 --> 02:06:53,630
all these little terms we can use now.

3431
02:06:53,710 --> 02:06:56,230
Thank you this what would be without you?

3432
02:06:56,790 --> 02:06:58,870
You two are like a couple of swell

3433
02:06:58,870 --> 02:07:02,470
gifts brought to a housewarming party in 1976

3434
02:07:04,550 --> 02:07:08,530
Wow Wow We're up we're two swell gifts

3435
02:07:08,530 --> 02:07:11,110
anyway I was considering a request for the

3436
02:07:11,110 --> 02:07:14,530
following jingles mystical shape-shifting Somalians Trump.

3437
02:07:14,590 --> 02:07:15,350
He loves Trotsky.

3438
02:07:15,450 --> 02:07:17,270
I love my train I love your beef

3439
02:07:17,270 --> 02:07:18,890
stew the classic Oh Biden.

3440
02:07:19,150 --> 02:07:21,370
I can carry eggs and they always give

3441
02:07:21,370 --> 02:07:24,250
me a back rub on the airplane But

3442
02:07:24,250 --> 02:07:26,570
now that I mention it, I think those

3443
02:07:26,570 --> 02:07:29,610
are all hallucinations the genuine article Benny better

3444
02:07:29,610 --> 02:07:32,650
than any produced by AI So I'll have

3445
02:07:32,650 --> 02:07:36,310
you know Leon I always prep the show

3446
02:07:36,310 --> 02:07:38,510
and get the jingles for the spreadsheet before

3447
02:07:38,510 --> 02:07:39,330
the show starts.

3448
02:07:39,750 --> 02:07:43,410
I misread mystical shape-shifting Somalians and had

3449
02:07:43,410 --> 02:07:46,070
shape-shifting Jews and then I was searching

3450
02:07:46,070 --> 02:07:48,790
for Trump loves Trotsky thought you meant Donald

3451
02:07:48,790 --> 02:07:51,790
loves Nazis and Oh that I just lose

3452
02:07:51,790 --> 02:07:57,750
John What happened Your side went dead and

3453
02:07:57,750 --> 02:08:00,650
I just Got I got to set you

3454
02:08:00,650 --> 02:08:04,030
back up to four That was weird.

3455
02:08:05,090 --> 02:08:06,870
I Want I wonder if I had a

3456
02:08:06,870 --> 02:08:08,090
I don't think I had a glitch on

3457
02:08:08,090 --> 02:08:11,850
the stream No, who knows whatever it was.

3458
02:08:11,890 --> 02:08:13,590
It was it was short.

3459
02:08:13,770 --> 02:08:17,110
Yes Anyway, so the point being that I

3460
02:08:17,110 --> 02:08:19,110
was looking for these jingles until I realized

3461
02:08:19,110 --> 02:08:21,650
that underneath it said it was hallucinations I

3462
02:08:21,650 --> 02:08:23,490
at some time I thought that we had

3463
02:08:23,490 --> 02:08:26,190
these so thanks for nothing And he ends

I can only hope that in four more

3468
02:08:35,770 --> 02:08:38,850
years We can still expect four more years

3469
02:08:38,850 --> 02:08:40,170

02:10:52,470 --> 02:10:55,470
on and the discussion how we are slaves

3516
02:10:55,470 --> 02:10:59,510
-to-the-foam I Wholeheartedly despise how reliant

3517
02:10:59,510 --> 02:11:01,770
I am on a piece of electronics and

3518
02:11:01,770 --> 02:11:04,070
how much it controls my life I think

3519
02:11:04,070 --> 02:11:05,950
there are way more negatives than positives to

3520
02:11:05,950 --> 02:11:08,270
it We are all becoming less human courtesy

3521
02:11:08,270 --> 02:11:11,190

02:14:09,410 --> 02:14:12,670
Yeah, I Never had that kind of Tourette's

3576
02:14:12,670 --> 02:14:14,870
no, that's that's extreme and that happens a

3577
02:14:14,870 --> 02:14:16,350
lot Yeah, and once in a while you

3578
02:14:16,350 --> 02:14:17,970
run into and I feel sorry for people

3579
02:14:17,970 --> 02:14:21,250
that get that don't under that haven't happened

3580
02:14:21,250 --> 02:14:23,170
to them They're the Tourette's sufferer.

3581
02:14:23,250 --> 02:14:25,370
Yeah, and it happened I was headed there

3582
02:14:25,370 --> 02:14:27,750
on a flight once and there's some poor

3583
02:14:27,750 --> 02:14:29,930
guy came in yeah, I obviously had Tourette's

3584
02:14:29,930 --> 02:14:32,650
and he was freaking out and Dragging his

3585
02:14:32,650 --> 02:14:35,850
luggage backwards off the wheels and then cussing

3586
02:14:35,850 --> 02:14:38,810
like a maniac Trying to put his bags

3587
02:14:38,810 --> 02:14:40,930
up while cussing and cussing and cussing it

3588
02:14:40,930 --> 02:14:42,610
and they took him off the plane and

3589
02:14:42,610 --> 02:14:45,130
I felt really That's because I knew it

3590
02:14:45,130 --> 02:14:47,750
was like just somebody was well Because when

3591
02:14:47,750 --> 02:14:49,650
you're on the plane, then you can't help

3592
02:14:49,650 --> 02:14:51,150
but saying bomb bomb bomb.

3593
02:14:51,250 --> 02:14:54,550
Yes, that's that's but that's what Tourette's is

3594
02:14:54,550 --> 02:14:57,170
It's like a severe OCD where you think

3595
02:14:57,170 --> 02:14:58,890
I'm I'm not gonna blink my eyes.

3596
02:14:58,910 --> 02:14:59,710
I'm not gonna blink my eyes.

3597
02:14:59,790 --> 02:15:01,650
Oh crap I'm blink my eyes like crazy.

3598
02:15:01,650 --> 02:15:02,510

3606
02:15:28,360 --> 02:15:30,620
you look at that video where he announces

3607
02:15:30,620 --> 02:15:33,660
podcasting and then you know, I'm cussing about

3608
02:15:33,660 --> 02:15:36,580
my Mac hard drive suck Yeah, yeah, if

3609
02:15:36,580 --> 02:15:39,100
you look at him, he laughs and then

3610
02:15:39,100 --> 02:15:40,840
he ticks his head like three or four

3611
02:15:40,840 --> 02:15:43,780
times Oh the old head deal the old

3612
02:15:43,780 --> 02:15:44,280
head tick.

3613
02:15:44,440 --> 02:15:46,820

socks But that but it's cool you look

3622
02:16:03,840 --> 02:16:06,520
at the YouTube comments people like What is

02:16:06,520 --> 02:16:09,740
that guy like resetting every five seconds and

3624
02:16:09,740 --> 02:16:11,060
then you'll get a comment under it.

3625
02:16:11,140 --> 02:16:13,140
Someone's like hey, man Yes to rats leave

3626
02:16:13,140 --> 02:16:13,500
Malone.

3627
02:16:13,600 --> 02:16:16,040
Okay I'm a victim.

3628
02:16:16,180 --> 02:16:17,840
You see I'm a victim and then people

3629
02:16:17,840 --> 02:16:19,760
the step is stick up for me.

3630
02:16:19,900 --> 02:16:20,240
It's good.

3631
02:16:20,500 --> 02:16:23,260
I like it Let's go with cash Patel's

3632
02:16:23,260 --> 02:16:28,320
hockey fiasco NPR The stupidest thing of the

3633
02:16:28,320 --> 02:16:30,140
week, so Ryan I want to start with

3634
02:16:30,140 --> 02:16:32,260
cash Patel's trip to Milan I think a

3635
02:16:32,260 --> 02:16:33,879
lot of people have seen that video of

3636
02:16:33,879 --> 02:16:35,600
him partying with the u.s. Men's hockey

3637
02:16:35,600 --> 02:16:37,480
team Is that why this is getting so

3638
02:16:37,480 --> 02:16:37,959
much attention?

3639
02:16:38,879 --> 02:16:39,420
Short answer.

3640
02:16:39,540 --> 02:16:40,879
Yeah, that's that is certainly a lot of

3641
02:16:40,879 --> 02:16:43,500
it Look at FBI directors are traditionally very

3642
02:16:43,500 --> 02:16:46,500
serious buttoned-up professionals Robert Mueller is one

3643
02:16:46,500 --> 02:16:48,480
example, you know They wear suits and a

3644
02:16:48,480 --> 02:16:50,840
tie they carry the FBI and it's huge

3645
02:16:50,840 --> 02:16:54,240
responsibilities on their shoulders We're talking terrorism investigations

3646
02:16:54,240 --> 02:16:57,139
fighting drug cartels Catching foreign spies trying to

3647
02:16:57,139 --> 02:17:00,219
steal America's secrets and then juxtapose that with

3648
02:17:00,219 --> 02:17:02,760
the video of Patel and Milan Celebrating with

3649
02:17:02,760 --> 02:17:03,980
the u.s Men's hockey team in the

3650
02:17:03,980 --> 02:17:05,440
locker room after the gold medal win over

3651
02:17:05,440 --> 02:17:08,139
Canada and in that video Patel is chugging

3652
02:17:08,139 --> 02:17:08,760
a bottle of beer.

3653
02:17:08,900 --> 02:17:09,799
He sprays some in the air.

3654
02:17:09,900 --> 02:17:11,540
He pumps his fist bangs on a table

3655
02:17:11,540 --> 02:17:14,340
He jumps around and sings with the team

3656
02:17:14,340 --> 02:17:16,400
And so this episode is certainly added to

3657
02:17:16,400 --> 02:17:19,200
concerns including among current and former FBI officials

3658
02:17:19,200 --> 02:17:22,080
About Patel's temperament and his fitness for this

3659
02:17:22,080 --> 02:17:24,020
big important job What does Patel had to

3660
02:17:24,020 --> 02:17:25,480
say about the criticism over this video?

3661
02:17:25,980 --> 02:17:27,180
He's tried to brush it off He said

3662
02:17:27,180 --> 02:17:29,180
in a post on X that he loves

3663
02:17:29,180 --> 02:17:30,959
America and was humble to celebrate with Team

3664
02:17:30,959 --> 02:17:36,820
USA Now Am I mistaken that cash Patel

3665
02:17:36,820 --> 02:17:39,860
plays hockey played hockey was a dog.

3666
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:43,200
He plays Not pro, but that's semi pro,

3667
02:17:43,320 --> 02:17:44,000
but he plays it.

3668
02:17:44,139 --> 02:17:45,059
He's on a league.

3669
02:17:45,160 --> 02:17:46,059
He's a hockey player.

3670
02:17:46,120 --> 02:17:47,559
He's nuts about it That's not in the

3671
02:17:47,559 --> 02:17:49,959
coach of the national team is his buddy

3672
02:17:51,000 --> 02:17:53,360
And his buddy invited him into hey, come

3673
02:17:53,360 --> 02:17:54,320
on you want to come in the back?

3674
02:17:54,420 --> 02:17:54,540
Yeah.

3675
02:17:54,559 --> 02:17:54,900
Sure.

3676
02:17:55,020 --> 02:17:57,379
I'll come back there And so they made

3677
02:17:57,379 --> 02:17:58,920
a big fuss about it because you know,

3678
02:17:58,980 --> 02:18:00,840
he was you know, he was acting like

3679
02:18:00,840 --> 02:18:02,480
a dude No, no, the locker.

3680
02:18:02,740 --> 02:18:02,840
No.

3681
02:18:02,879 --> 02:18:06,340
No the fuss is about the airplane Well

3682
02:18:06,340 --> 02:18:08,740
that that became that that I think that's

3683
02:18:08,740 --> 02:18:10,580
the secondary fuss because they're trying to add

3684
02:18:10,580 --> 02:18:12,219
on to the main That's but the main

3685
02:18:12,219 --> 02:18:15,420
fuss was this lack of decorum There was

3686
02:18:15,420 --> 02:18:17,459
a suit and tie saying stop it boys

3687
02:18:17,459 --> 02:18:19,719
stop singing But here's a part two of

3688
02:18:19,719 --> 02:18:21,820
this clip now the top Democrat on the

3689
02:18:21,820 --> 02:18:24,540
Senate Judiciary Committee says he has evidence that

3690
02:18:24,540 --> 02:18:28,280
Patel's past travel Has actually hampered FBI investigations.

3691
02:18:28,379 --> 02:18:29,420
What can you tell us about that?

3692
02:18:29,719 --> 02:18:29,840
Right?

3693
02:18:29,920 --> 02:18:32,120
This is Illinois Democratic Senator Dick Durbin He

3694
02:18:32,120 --> 02:18:34,000
said in a letter to the government accountability

3695
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:37,180
office yesterday that whistleblowers have come forward with

3696
02:18:37,180 --> 02:18:39,820
information that Patel's decisions About the use of

3697
02:18:39,820 --> 02:18:41,879
FBI planes have hampered a couple of high

3698
02:18:41,879 --> 02:18:44,920
-profile investigations one instance According to Durbin an

3699
02:18:44,920 --> 02:18:46,920
FBI team was delayed at least a day

3700
02:18:46,920 --> 02:18:49,900
getting to Utah After conservative activist Charlie Kirk's

3701
02:18:49,900 --> 02:18:51,920
assassination there because of a plane and pilot

3702
02:18:51,920 --> 02:18:55,200
shortage caused Durbin says by Patel's personal flights

3703
02:18:55,860 --> 02:18:58,139
Durbin also says a team of FBI investigators

3704
02:18:58,139 --> 02:19:00,219
was enabled to fly to Rhode Island after

3705
02:19:00,219 --> 02:19:02,760
the shooting at Brown University Because of Patel's

3706
02:19:02,760 --> 02:19:06,320
decisions about planes now FBI spokesman Ben Williamson

3707
02:19:06,320 --> 02:19:09,440
has rejected both of those allegations on Brown

3708
02:19:09,440 --> 02:19:13,260
University Specifically Williamson said on X that Patel

3709
02:19:13,260 --> 02:19:15,240
was in Florida visiting his parents at the

3710
02:19:15,240 --> 02:19:17,080
time But that there was no issue with

3711
02:19:17,080 --> 02:19:19,959
aircraft being unavailable Needless to say though this

3712
02:19:19,959 --> 02:19:22,500
issue this travel issue for Patel is not

3713
02:19:22,500 --> 02:19:22,959
going away.

3714
02:19:23,000 --> 02:19:24,160
And here's Ryan Lucas.

3715
02:19:24,280 --> 02:19:24,980
Thanks as always.

3716
02:19:25,160 --> 02:19:28,900
Yeah, it's jet-gate This thing has legs.

3717
02:19:28,959 --> 02:19:30,020
They're gonna go after him.

3718
02:19:30,080 --> 02:19:32,540
They're gonna go after him real hard Here's

3719
02:19:32,540 --> 02:19:35,660
the Jake Tapper Tapper did a whole segment

3720
02:19:35,660 --> 02:19:35,980
on it.

3721
02:19:36,000 --> 02:19:45,280
Oh Outrageous Believe it or not.

3722
02:19:45,459 --> 02:19:48,740
That's your FBI director That's Patel celebrating with

3723
02:19:48,740 --> 02:19:50,600
the US men's hockey team after their overtime

3724
02:19:50,600 --> 02:19:52,300
win against Canada to win the gold medal

3725
02:19:52,300 --> 02:19:55,140
It was an incredible win that all Americans

3726
02:19:55,140 --> 02:19:59,320
can celebrate now Why exactly the what?

3727
02:20:00,240 --> 02:20:02,980
Except Patel all Americans can celebrate but but

3728
02:20:02,980 --> 02:20:05,880
not Patel the I director Who you might

3729
02:20:05,880 --> 02:20:07,440
think would be busy with all sorts of

3730
02:20:07,440 --> 02:20:10,700
things why he's in the locker room in

3731
02:20:10,700 --> 02:20:15,580
Italy seemingly pounding beers along with the team

3732
02:20:15,580 --> 02:20:19,680
Well, you can be forgiven Beers unlike Jake

3733
02:20:19,680 --> 02:20:22,520
Tapper who was pounding beers at the deputy

3734
02:20:22,520 --> 02:20:26,720
CIA directors birthday party Okay asking that question

3735
02:20:26,720 --> 02:20:31,100
especially after FBI spokesman Ben Williamson was lashing

3736
02:20:31,100 --> 02:20:33,260
out at a reporter from a different network

3737
02:20:33,260 --> 02:20:35,380
on Twitter the day before the game for

3738
02:20:35,380 --> 02:20:37,860
asking whether Patel was going To attend the

3739
02:20:37,860 --> 02:20:40,360
match the FBI spokesman writing quote your rag

3740
02:20:40,360 --> 02:20:42,680
outlet Wrote that he went to hang out

3741
02:20:42,680 --> 02:20:44,280
at the Olympics on the taxpayer dime Even

3742
02:20:44,280 --> 02:20:46,420
when provided information that your theory was false

3743
02:20:46,420 --> 02:20:48,660
unquote now the FBI is denying.

3744
02:20:48,800 --> 02:20:50,460
This was a personal trip for Patel they

3745
02:20:50,460 --> 02:20:52,000
say the director flew to Milan on the

3746
02:20:52,000 --> 02:20:55,540
FBI's gulfstream private jet for meetings with Italian

3747
02:20:55,540 --> 02:20:58,400
law enforcement and Security officials adding that the

3748
02:20:58,400 --> 02:21:00,380
FBI plays a major role in Olympic security

3749
02:21:00,380 --> 02:21:02,020
and that the trip was planned months in

3750
02:21:02,020 --> 02:21:05,280
advance, of course The Olympics was planned years

3751
02:21:05,280 --> 02:21:08,460
in advance Director Patel responded to the criticism

3752
02:21:08,460 --> 02:21:11,280
on X apparently not taking it very seriously

3753
02:21:11,280 --> 02:21:14,660
writing quote for the very concerned media Yes

3754
02:21:14,660 --> 02:21:16,740
I love America and was extremely humbled of

3755
02:21:16,740 --> 02:21:19,240
my friends the newly minted gold medal Winners

3756
02:21:19,240 --> 02:21:20,840
on Team USA invited me into the locker

3757
02:21:20,840 --> 02:21:23,120
room to celebrate this historic moment with the

3758
02:21:23,120 --> 02:21:27,260
boys unquote of course The issue is not

3759
02:21:27,260 --> 02:21:29,020
whether or not cash Patel loves America.

3760
02:21:29,020 --> 02:21:32,760
It's about His judgment and whether or not

3761
02:21:32,760 --> 02:21:35,280
he's embarrassing the bureau and the perks he

3762
02:21:35,280 --> 02:21:38,340
grabs and the seriousness With which he treats

3763
02:21:38,340 --> 02:21:39,620
his job.

3764
02:21:39,880 --> 02:21:41,660
Oh and one would think the FBI is

3765
02:21:41,660 --> 02:21:43,540
pretty busy these days with lots of things

3766
02:21:43,540 --> 02:21:45,840
going on Didn't stop there.

3767
02:21:46,160 --> 02:21:49,020
We've got to evidence the Government Accountability Office

3768
02:21:49,020 --> 02:21:51,320
estimates estimates that flying the FBI private jet

3769
02:21:51,320 --> 02:21:53,200
costs at least five thousand dollars per hour

3770
02:21:53,200 --> 02:21:56,600
Yeah, try closer to eleven thousand dollars an

3771
02:21:56,600 --> 02:21:56,780
hour.

3772
02:21:56,920 --> 02:21:58,300
If it's the plane, I think it is

3773
02:21:58,300 --> 02:22:01,560
five thousands pretty cheap Meaning Patel's Olympic trip

3774
02:22:01,560 --> 02:22:04,060
could theoretically cost taxpayers at least tens of

3775
02:22:04,060 --> 02:22:06,060
thousands of dollars And we should note that

3776
02:22:06,060 --> 02:22:08,360
the FBI director for security reasons is legally

3777
02:22:08,360 --> 02:22:10,520
mandated to use government aircraft for all travel

3778
02:22:10,520 --> 02:22:13,060
including personal trips But they are required to

3779
02:22:13,060 --> 02:22:15,180
reimburse taxpayers for the commercial cost of their

3780
02:22:15,180 --> 02:22:18,220
travel But the question is why was he

3781
02:22:18,220 --> 02:22:19,520
in Italy to begin with the trip to

3782
02:22:19,520 --> 02:22:21,380
Italy is far from the only time That

3783
02:22:21,380 --> 02:22:23,920
Patel has faced accusations of using government for

3784
02:22:23,920 --> 02:22:27,260
his personal benefit Reportedly at Patel's direction.

3785
02:22:27,360 --> 02:22:30,000
The FBI is even providing a separate security

3786
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:31,880
detail for his girlfriend.

3787
02:22:32,080 --> 02:22:33,760
No, not his wife No, no say his

3788
02:22:33,760 --> 02:22:37,740
girlfriend country music singer Alexis Wilkins who lives

3789
02:22:37,740 --> 02:22:44,120
Stop stop Does he is he married No,

3790
02:22:44,180 --> 02:22:45,300
I don't think he is I think he

3791
02:22:45,300 --> 02:22:47,760
has the the honeypot girlfriend remember this the

3792
02:22:47,760 --> 02:22:49,760
one who's got the girlfriend But is he

3793
02:22:49,760 --> 02:22:50,060
married?

3794
02:22:50,580 --> 02:22:51,680
I don't think so.

3795
02:22:51,880 --> 02:22:54,140
Then why would you say not his wife?

3796
02:22:55,840 --> 02:23:00,480
He doesn't have a wife You just put

3797
02:23:00,480 --> 02:23:02,420
that in to make it sound scurrilous as

3798
02:23:03,160 --> 02:23:05,760
Though he's ditched his wife and he's running

3799
02:23:05,760 --> 02:23:07,040
off with this other woman.

3800
02:23:07,180 --> 02:23:08,460
That's what it sounds like.

3801
02:23:08,540 --> 02:23:10,300
It's not his wife It wasn't with his

3802
02:23:10,300 --> 02:23:15,040
wife Good catch his Girlfriend.

3803
02:23:15,140 --> 02:23:15,760
No, not his wife.

3804
02:23:15,900 --> 02:23:18,940
Not his fiance his girlfriend country music singer

3805
02:23:18,940 --> 02:23:21,680
Alexis Wilkins who lives part-time in Nashville

3806
02:23:22,200 --> 02:23:24,180
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee launched an

3807
02:23:24,180 --> 02:23:25,960
investigation last year into Patel's use of the

3808
02:23:25,960 --> 02:23:27,720
FBI jet for private travel There was a

3809
02:23:27,720 --> 02:23:31,480
time of course You might remember when Kash

3810
02:23:31,480 --> 02:23:33,240
Patel seemed to have a different attitude towards

3811
02:23:33,240 --> 02:23:37,280
the use of government resources confirmation hearing last

3812
02:23:37,280 --> 02:23:40,540
year And the resources of the FBI which

3813
02:23:40,540 --> 02:23:42,820
are funded by the American taxpayer dollars in

3814
02:23:42,820 --> 02:23:44,180
the seven minutes that you and I have

3815
02:23:44,180 --> 02:23:46,740
been talking About two people have died from

3816
02:23:46,740 --> 02:23:49,200
fentanyl overdoses One person has been shot to

3817
02:23:49,200 --> 02:23:51,000
death in this country and three people have

3818
02:23:51,000 --> 02:23:53,300
been raped The resources of the FBI will

3819
02:23:53,300 --> 02:23:54,980
go to that mission set and that mission

3820
02:23:54,980 --> 02:23:57,460
set alone Because America deserves a better brand

3821
02:23:57,460 --> 02:23:58,900
of justice and I'm gonna give it to

3822
02:23:58,900 --> 02:24:02,040
him Okay, so how many Americans died of

3823
02:24:02,040 --> 02:24:03,020
fentanyl overdoses?

3824
02:24:03,020 --> 02:24:05,060
How many Americans were shot to death and

3825
02:24:05,060 --> 02:24:07,420
how many Americans were raped while Kash Patel

3826
02:24:07,420 --> 02:24:15,970
was celebrating in that locker Oh brother The

3827
02:24:15,970 --> 02:24:22,170

3836
02:24:48,810 --> 02:24:52,390
No, you you can't celebrate anything here well,

02:24:56,850 --> 02:24:58,730
can't if you're anything else it doesn't matter

3839
02:24:59,390 --> 02:25:02,870
Going on to screwball stories, that's I got

3840
02:25:02,870 --> 02:25:03,590
a couple here.

3841
02:25:03,650 --> 02:25:05,050
I want to play this was the Cuba

3842
02:25:05,050 --> 02:25:05,630
story.

3843
02:25:05,770 --> 02:25:08,690
I have questions Yeah, that is a screwball

3844
02:25:08,690 --> 02:25:11,670
story Secretary of State Marco Rubio says US

3845
02:25:11,670 --> 02:25:15,410
authorities are doing their own Investigation into an

3846
02:25:15,410 --> 02:25:18,090
incident early this morning This comes after Cuba

3847
02:25:18,090 --> 02:25:21,050
says its border guards shot and killed four

3848
02:25:21,050 --> 02:25:24,150
people and wounded six aboard a Florida registered

3849
02:25:24,150 --> 02:25:27,830
speedboat off the Cuban coast Cuba's Interior Ministry

3850
02:25:27,830 --> 02:25:30,710
claims the crew aboard the vessel opened fire

3851
02:25:30,710 --> 02:25:33,430
on the guards first who then returned fire

3852
02:25:33,430 --> 02:25:36,810
Your secretary Rubio just moments ago We have

3853
02:25:36,810 --> 02:25:38,490
our embassy on the ground in Havana working

3854
02:25:38,490 --> 02:25:41,570
this as we speak asking for access To

3855
02:25:41,570 --> 02:25:43,210
the people that were on those vessels and

3856
02:25:43,210 --> 02:25:45,770
we are going to verify that information independently

3857
02:25:45,770 --> 02:25:49,410
and reach our own conclusions Cuban officials claim

3858
02:25:49,410 --> 02:25:52,210
the commander of the Cuban vessel was wounded

3859
02:25:52,210 --> 02:25:54,810
in the shooting The ministry released a statement

3860
02:25:54,810 --> 02:25:57,790
following the incident saying Cuba would protect its

3861
02:25:57,790 --> 02:26:01,630
territorial waters Florida's Attorney General says he has

3862
02:26:01,630 --> 02:26:05,130
directed the Office of Statewide Prosecution to investigate

3863
02:26:05,650 --> 02:26:08,470
Secretary Rubio says the result of the investigation

3864
02:26:08,470 --> 02:26:11,990
will be presented to policymakers including the president

3865
02:26:11,990 --> 02:26:17,450
for potential further action Hi your questions But

3866
02:26:17,450 --> 02:26:19,530
we're doing all this action against Cuba and

3867
02:26:19,530 --> 02:26:21,690
we still have an embassy there they haven't

3868
02:26:21,690 --> 02:26:23,630
kicked us out Yeah, I didn't realize that

3869
02:26:23,630 --> 02:26:27,570
either In Havana, well, of course we did

3870
02:26:27,570 --> 02:26:30,010
because that's where the Havana syndrome came from

3871
02:26:30,010 --> 02:26:32,330
well, I know about the Havana syndrome and

3872
02:26:32,330 --> 02:26:36,490
it came from there supposedly, but We're taking

3873
02:26:36,490 --> 02:26:37,030
action.

3874
02:26:37,130 --> 02:26:38,650
We've we've cut them off from the oil

3875
02:26:38,650 --> 02:26:39,070
supply.

3876
02:26:39,090 --> 02:26:42,590
They can't refuel their jets or anything and

3877
02:26:42,590 --> 02:26:46,490
They're having power outages and they've let us

3878
02:26:46,490 --> 02:26:47,970
keep an embassy there.

3879
02:26:47,990 --> 02:26:49,750
This doesn't make any sense to me I

3880
02:26:49,750 --> 02:26:51,690
agree you would have thought they at least

3881
02:26:51,690 --> 02:26:54,310
would have kicked our diplomats out, but I

3882
02:26:54,310 --> 02:26:58,570
was gonna say these were Cuban Americans supposedly

3883
02:26:59,830 --> 02:27:00,930
Who went over there?

3884
02:27:00,970 --> 02:27:02,610
I mean this has in some way it

3885
02:27:02,610 --> 02:27:05,290
has Bay of Pigs vibe to it Yeah,

3886
02:27:05,390 --> 02:27:07,130
well, there's also a lot of people who

3887
02:27:07,130 --> 02:27:10,930
are real sailboat enthusiasts They're they're usually armed

3888
02:27:10,930 --> 02:27:12,530
to the teeth on these some of these

3889
02:27:12,530 --> 02:27:14,650
boats because of piracy in the open seas

3890
02:27:14,650 --> 02:27:18,430
in the Caribbean Like Horowitz Horowitz always is

3891
02:27:18,430 --> 02:27:22,590
packing heat when he goes with He's going

3892
02:27:22,590 --> 02:27:24,610
to the islands man, he's packing heat he's

3893
02:27:24,610 --> 02:27:27,790
not taking no risks He's got his he's

3894
02:27:27,790 --> 02:27:30,030
got his Magnum, you know, he's got a

3895
02:27:30,030 --> 02:27:31,030
he's got a 45.

3896
02:27:31,570 --> 02:27:33,810
He's got the AR 15 He's got a

3897
02:27:33,810 --> 02:27:34,770
couple of grenades.

3898
02:27:35,150 --> 02:27:36,030
He's serious.

3899
02:27:36,510 --> 02:27:37,910
Ask him ask him about it.

3900
02:27:37,950 --> 02:27:40,230
He'll tell you Well, it's a well-known

3901
02:27:40,230 --> 02:27:43,390
fact that people are super careful they they're

3902
02:27:43,390 --> 02:27:46,390
armed on these boats don't kid yourself So

3903
02:27:46,390 --> 02:27:50,470
to a last Boss story, but this one's

3904
02:27:50,470 --> 02:27:51,530
gonna be your favorite.

3905
02:27:51,530 --> 02:27:52,590
Mm-hmm.

3906
02:27:52,590 --> 02:27:53,670
The Artemis.

3907
02:27:53,790 --> 02:27:58,150
Oh, no NASA is moving its Artemis moon

3908
02:27:58,150 --> 02:28:00,210
rocket from the launch pad back to the

3909
02:28:00,210 --> 02:28:03,130
hangar for more repairs It's a slow four

3910
02:28:03,130 --> 02:28:05,310
-mile track expected to take all day at

3911
02:28:05,310 --> 02:28:08,670
Florida's Kennedy Space Center Managers managers ordered the

3912
02:28:08,670 --> 02:28:11,010
rollback over the weekend after a problem developed

3913
02:28:11,010 --> 02:28:14,390
with the rockets helium Pressurization system the launch

3914
02:28:14,390 --> 02:28:16,450
team had been targeting March for the Artemis

3915
02:28:16,450 --> 02:28:19,230
to astronaut mission Humanity's first trip to the

3916
02:28:19,230 --> 02:28:21,990
moon in decades, but now it's off until

3917
02:28:21,990 --> 02:28:23,030
at least April.

3918
02:28:23,270 --> 02:28:26,710
Yes, of course Because you know we did

3919
02:28:26,710 --> 02:28:28,850
this with a tin can 50 years ago

3920
02:28:28,850 --> 02:28:32,850
a tin can and some and some hoodies

3921
02:28:33,730 --> 02:28:35,930
Oh with a with a garbage pail on

3922
02:28:35,930 --> 02:28:38,690
their head, that's okay, and we'll get there

3923
02:28:38,690 --> 02:28:40,530
eventually they're not even landing on the moon

3924
02:28:40,530 --> 02:28:41,730
There's gonna fly around it.

3925
02:28:41,830 --> 02:28:42,750
Yeah, there's a fly around.

3926
02:28:42,870 --> 02:28:44,930
Yeah a little age is CGI.

3927
02:28:45,450 --> 02:28:49,530
Well AI it'll be great and unfortunately What

3928
02:28:49,530 --> 02:28:51,050
it could be a lie it could be

3929
02:28:51,050 --> 02:28:54,410
they could be misleading us, but it appears

3930
02:28:55,150 --> 02:28:58,910
We did not have copulation in space It

3931
02:28:58,910 --> 02:29:01,050
was not the female astronaut who was pregnant

3932
02:29:01,050 --> 02:29:04,150
NASA is sharing the following information at the

3933
02:29:04,150 --> 02:29:07,370
request of NASA astronaut Mike Fink on January

3934
02:29:07,370 --> 02:29:10,490
7th while aboard the International Space Station I

3935
02:29:10,490 --> 02:29:13,910
experienced a medical event that required immediate attention

3936
02:29:13,910 --> 02:29:16,830
from my incredible crewmates Thanks to their quick

3937
02:29:16,830 --> 02:29:19,110
response and the guidance of our NASA flight

3938
02:29:19,110 --> 02:29:23,690
surgeons my status quickly stabilized after further evaluation

3939
02:29:23,690 --> 02:29:26,330
NASA determined the safest course was an early

3940
02:29:26,330 --> 02:29:29,290
return for crew 11 not an emergency But

3941
02:29:29,290 --> 02:29:31,370
a carefully coordinated plan to be able to

3942
02:29:31,370 --> 02:29:34,650
take advantage of advanced medical imaging not available

3943
02:29:34,650 --> 02:29:37,870
on the space station on January 15th, we

3944
02:29:37,870 --> 02:29:39,890
splashed down off the coast of San Diego

3945
02:29:39,890 --> 02:29:42,350
after an amazing five and a half month

3946

and the medical professionals at Scripps Memorial Hospital,

La Jolla near San Diego Their professionalism and

3952
02:30:04,030 --> 02:30:06,110
dedication ensured a positive outcome.

3953
02:30:06,490 --> 02:30:09,090
I'm doing very well and continuing standard post

3954
02:30:09,090 --> 02:30:12,510
-flight reconditioning at NASA's Johnson Space Center in

3955
02:30:12,510 --> 02:30:15,650
Houston Space flight is an incredible privilege and

3956
02:30:15,650 --> 02:30:17,990
sometimes it reminds us just how human we

3957
02:30:17,990 --> 02:30:20,230
are Thank you for all your support.

3958
02:30:20,950 --> 02:30:23,530
I Guess your theory doesn't pan out not

3959
02:30:23,530 --> 02:30:24,330
necessarily.

3960
02:30:24,790 --> 02:30:28,510
Oh, oh Okay Well, I mean a couple

3961
02:30:28,510 --> 02:30:29,690
of things I keep an eye on the

3962
02:30:29,690 --> 02:30:31,010
woman and see if she has a baby

3963
02:30:31,010 --> 02:30:32,730
Well, that's that's the what's what you do.

3964
02:30:32,810 --> 02:30:33,170
Yes.

3965
02:30:33,450 --> 02:30:36,130
Yeah, or the reason they want to bring

3966
02:30:36,130 --> 02:30:37,870
out this cock and bull story Which is

3967
02:30:37,870 --> 02:30:38,470
possible.

3968
02:30:38,650 --> 02:30:40,270
It's that she had an abortion.

3969
02:30:40,470 --> 02:30:45,290
Oh goodness gracious Okay, I guess anything's possible

3970
02:30:45,890 --> 02:30:48,010
Might be a bit of a stretch we

3971
02:30:48,010 --> 02:30:56,260
still don't think it's a stretch Yes We

3972
02:30:56,260 --> 02:30:58,440
haven't talked about it I did find this

3973
02:30:58,440 --> 02:31:03,060
this report from Global News relatively complete regarding

3974
02:31:03,060 --> 02:31:09,980
El Mencho The Mexican drug cartel leader And

3975
02:31:09,980 --> 02:31:12,520
we should probably just wrap it all up

3976
02:31:12,520 --> 02:31:14,520
with this report and we can maybe discuss

3977
02:31:14,520 --> 02:31:18,140
after the operation to capture Mexico's most powerful

3978
02:31:18,140 --> 02:31:20,840
cartel leader known as El Mencho unfolded in

3979
02:31:20,840 --> 02:31:24,240
a small town near Guadalajara Where Mexican special

3980
02:31:24,240 --> 02:31:26,540
forces acted on a tip from an associate

3981
02:31:26,540 --> 02:31:29,280
of one of his romantic partners in the

3982
02:31:29,280 --> 02:31:31,540
raid that followed the wanted Drug lord was

3983
02:31:31,540 --> 02:31:32,500
seriously wounded.

3984
02:31:32,700 --> 02:31:34,680
He later died during an airlift.

3985
02:31:34,760 --> 02:31:41,400
This was a very very effective Take down

3986
02:31:41,400 --> 02:31:44,180
of one of the biggest leaders and it

3987
02:31:44,180 --> 02:31:47,720
was done, you know based on the intelligence

3988
02:31:47,720 --> 02:31:53,300
That they come conducted primarily Mexico's defense minister

3989
02:31:53,300 --> 02:31:56,360
became emotional as he honored the 25th National

3990
02:31:56,360 --> 02:32:00,780
Guard members killed in operations Sunday The prosecutor's

3991
02:32:00,780 --> 02:32:03,520
office where El Mencho's body was reportedly taken

3992
02:32:03,520 --> 02:32:07,440
is now under heavy guard President Claudia Shane

3993
02:32:07,440 --> 02:32:09,760
bomb denied direct u.s. Involvement in the

3994
02:32:09,760 --> 02:32:13,660
operation, but acknowledged the Americans did provide intelligence

3995
02:32:13,660 --> 02:32:17,720
US President Donald Trump has previously threatened military

3996
02:32:17,720 --> 02:32:21,900
strikes inside Mexico targeting cartels and has Designated

3997
02:32:21,900 --> 02:32:25,380
El Mencho's cartel a foreign terrorist organization It's

3998
02:32:25,380 --> 02:32:27,680
no coincidence that the Mexican government decides to

3999
02:32:27,680 --> 02:32:30,240
act when it's under unprecedented levels of pressure

4000
02:32:30,240 --> 02:32:33,720
from the Trump administration to crack down on

4001
02:32:33,720 --> 02:32:36,840
the cartels The fear now is that violence

4002
02:32:36,840 --> 02:32:39,900
may continue to spiral as cartel members fight

4003
02:32:39,900 --> 02:32:42,500
for power and battle for territory There are

4004
02:32:42,500 --> 02:32:45,000
three people who are going to compete to

4005
02:32:45,000 --> 02:32:47,480
become the new leader of the cartel and

4006
02:32:47,480 --> 02:32:50,260
the political protection will go on Well experts

4007
02:32:50,260 --> 02:32:52,820
warned the death of El Mencho alone will

4008
02:32:52,820 --> 02:32:56,240
do little to disrupt Mexico's sprawling narco empires

4009
02:32:56,240 --> 02:33:00,280
It is a very superficial way to attack

4010
02:33:00,280 --> 02:33:03,300
the cartels and doesn't speak to a sort

4011
02:33:03,300 --> 02:33:06,880
of more profound Deep extraction of their roots

4012
02:33:06,880 --> 02:33:10,540
that are so deeply embedded in Mexico Facing

4013
02:33:10,540 --> 02:33:13,180
unprecedented violence It's now a question of whether

4014
02:33:13,180 --> 02:33:16,240
Mexican officials want to go deeper or if

4015
02:33:16,240 --> 02:33:18,800
the cartels are too rich and too powerful

4016
02:33:18,800 --> 02:33:20,560
To truly be disrupted.

4017
02:33:20,920 --> 02:33:23,720
This was kind of interesting First of all,

4018
02:33:23,760 --> 02:33:25,420
I think we needed to clean up Mexico

4019
02:33:25,420 --> 02:33:27,780
for FIFA for the World Cup You know,

4020
02:33:27,780 --> 02:33:29,100
we got to clean that place up a

4021
02:33:29,100 --> 02:33:31,920
bit But it seems like like 20%

4022
02:33:31,920 --> 02:33:34,700
of Mexico is in some way in some

4023
02:33:34,700 --> 02:33:38,620
shape or form employed by the cartels Have

4024
02:33:38,620 --> 02:33:39,260
you heard this?

4025
02:33:40,060 --> 02:33:42,220
Yeah, I've heard that number and other numbers

4026
02:33:42,220 --> 02:33:43,880
and it just seems as though is so

4027
02:33:43,880 --> 02:33:46,120
embedded They want you want to just let

4028
02:33:46,120 --> 02:33:48,480
the cartels bite each other to the death

4029
02:33:48,480 --> 02:33:50,080
and let them take the country over Well,

4030
02:33:50,120 --> 02:33:52,440
well, they seem to know, you know Yeah,

4031
02:33:52,500 --> 02:33:54,840
there's rivalry once in Iraq and once in

4032
02:33:54,840 --> 02:33:56,980
a while, but they you know, I've received

4033
02:33:56,980 --> 02:33:58,540
different boots on the ground I won't read

4034
02:33:58,540 --> 02:33:58,660
them.

4035
02:33:58,760 --> 02:34:01,000
But some people say, you know, everyone's happy

4036
02:34:01,000 --> 02:34:02,720
get rid of these guys other people say,

4037
02:34:02,880 --> 02:34:03,960
you know They come into the neighborhood.

4038
02:34:03,960 --> 02:34:06,220
They take care like the mob, you know

4039
02:34:06,220 --> 02:34:08,060
They take care of the kids bring candy

4040
02:34:08,060 --> 02:34:10,920
for the kids flowers for the women You

4041
02:34:10,920 --> 02:34:13,720
know, it's it cuts both ways and this

4042
02:34:13,720 --> 02:34:15,860
guy was not an El Chapo kind of

4043
02:34:15,860 --> 02:34:16,960
boasty guy.

4044
02:34:17,000 --> 02:34:20,120
He was supposedly a man of the people

4045
02:34:21,720 --> 02:34:24,660
Man of the people no matter what the

4046
02:34:24,660 --> 02:34:27,200
banks are gonna have some trouble Got no

4047
02:34:27,200 --> 02:34:29,920
more money to launder for a while I

4048
02:34:29,920 --> 02:34:31,240
think that may well from that group.

4049
02:34:31,340 --> 02:34:32,880
Anyway, yeah from that group.

4050
02:34:33,440 --> 02:34:35,860
I Don't know any thoughts besides the fact

4051
02:34:35,860 --> 02:34:39,360
that we clearly were helping I have no

4052
02:34:39,360 --> 02:34:41,620
thoughts on I mean, I know the writing

4053
02:34:41,620 --> 02:34:44,660
it was one-shot deal there was supposedly

4054
02:34:44,660 --> 02:34:47,040
there was a couple of tick tockers online

4055
02:34:47,040 --> 02:34:50,900
that are talking about it and I Don't

4056
02:34:50,900 --> 02:34:53,540
I have no No, you know, it could

4057
02:34:53,540 --> 02:34:55,320
be all bullcrap to me I mean I

4058
02:34:55,320 --> 02:34:58,240
have no nothing Well, that is that's a

4059
02:34:58,240 --> 02:34:59,560
that's not a great way to get into

4060
02:34:59,560 --> 02:35:01,500
our second donation segment You need to say

4061
02:35:01,500 --> 02:35:04,740

4062
02:35:04,740 --> 02:35:05,280
clip?

4063
02:35:05,640 --> 02:35:09,240
Okay, one more Last clip for me.

home and office of a Los Angeles school

4067
02:35:16,700 --> 02:35:19,680
official a Spokesperson for the FBI Los Angeles

4069
02:35:22,240 --> 02:35:25,180
headquarters of the LA Unified School District and

4070
02:35:25,180 --> 02:35:29,100
at the home of Superintendent Alberto Carvalho a

4071
02:35:29,100 --> 02:35:32,420
third location in Florida was also searched It's

4072
02:35:32,420 --> 02:35:35,480
unclear what the investigation is about But the

4073
02:35:35,480 --> 02:35:38,340
school district says it's cooperating with the investigation

4074
02:35:38,340 --> 02:35:41,620
and doesn't have further information at this time

4075
02:35:42,140 --> 02:35:45,220

4077

It's time for John's tip of the day

4348
02:48:08,450 --> 02:48:19,090
I This

4349
02:48:19,090 --> 02:48:22,930
is a simplistic very simple tip that I

4350
02:48:23,610 --> 02:48:25,970
Was digging around I saw I should give

4351
02:48:25,970 --> 02:48:27,630
this tip of the day people don't realize

4352
02:48:27,630 --> 02:48:29,170
how important it is to have one of

4353
02:48:29,170 --> 02:48:31,730
these things There are a buck or two.

4354
02:48:31,850 --> 02:48:35,990
They're cheap And they're extremely handy for writing

4355
02:48:35,990 --> 02:48:38,450
on anything that is just a little different

4356
02:48:38,450 --> 02:48:41,670
like a wine bottle or I Use them

4357
02:48:41,670 --> 02:48:43,850
to write Information like if you have a

4358
02:48:43,850 --> 02:48:46,870
power supply And it's two volts so many

4359
02:48:46,870 --> 02:48:47,310
amps.

4360
02:48:47,370 --> 02:48:49,410
I write it on the side using a

4361
02:48:49,410 --> 02:48:52,330
and this is the tip a Silver Sharpie

4362
02:48:52,330 --> 02:48:55,810
if you don't have I love silver Sharpies

4363
02:48:55,810 --> 02:48:59,070
Silver Sharpies are the handiest thing I mean,

4364
02:48:59,150 --> 02:49:00,990
I first discovered him back in this floppy

4365
02:49:00,990 --> 02:49:02,730
disk era when you could write on floppy

4366
02:49:02,730 --> 02:49:05,110
disks with him But but they're they're just

4367
02:49:05,110 --> 02:49:06,910
handy for everything you should because there's a

4368
02:49:06,910 --> 02:49:08,430
lot everything Do you know the people who

4369
02:49:08,430 --> 02:49:10,450
make stuff out of plastic and is black?

4370
02:49:10,710 --> 02:49:11,830
Yeah, you can't write on it.

4371
02:49:11,930 --> 02:49:13,190
Do you want a silver Sharpie?

4372
02:49:13,270 --> 02:49:15,630
Do you know how many mixers I've written

4373
02:49:15,630 --> 02:49:17,590
stuff on with a silver Sharpie?

4374
02:49:17,830 --> 02:49:20,430
I've lost count You know you put the

4375
02:49:20,430 --> 02:49:22,190
you know because the mixers are they never

4376
02:49:22,190 --> 02:49:24,610
like correspond to the players and stuff and

4377
02:49:24,610 --> 02:49:26,870
so and they or they have no numbers

4378
02:49:26,870 --> 02:49:28,770
and so I'll Write down one through eight.

4379
02:49:29,090 --> 02:49:31,210
Oh, yes, so that that is a tip

4380
02:49:31,210 --> 02:49:33,250
I can agree with also handy if you

4381
02:49:33,250 --> 02:49:34,790
have twins you can write on the forehead

4382
02:49:34,790 --> 02:49:38,030
which one is Which one is which just

4383
02:49:38,030 --> 02:49:40,490
a thought and what is the retail price

4384
02:49:40,490 --> 02:49:42,990
of the silver buck 99 max?

4385
02:49:43,170 --> 02:49:45,290
You should get a six-pack and the

4386
02:49:45,290 --> 02:49:46,930
six-packs are probably you know less than

4387
02:49:46,930 --> 02:49:49,430
it probably eight bucks or so They're terrific

4388
02:49:49,430 --> 02:49:53,690
