1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:01,440
Hey, Pachuco!

2
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:03,480
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:03,920
DeVora.

4
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,120
It's Sunday, March 29th, 2026.

5
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,840
This is your award-winning Cuban Nation Media

6
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,240
Assassination Episode 1855.

7
00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:12,280
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,720
Renaming the globe and broadcasting live from the

9
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,260
heart of the Texas Hill Country here in

10
00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:19,220
FEMA Region No.

11
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:20,720
16 in the morning, everybody.

12
00:00:20,980 --> 00:00:21,860
I'm Adam Curry.

13
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,420
And from the northern San Francisco Bay, Refinery

14
00:00:25,420 --> 00:00:28,760
Row, where we had no kinks day.

15
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:29,520
I'm John C.

16
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:29,840
DeVora.

17
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,980
It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.

18
00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:33,580
In the morning!

19
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,280
You guys always have kinks day in San

20
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:37,800
Francisco.

21
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:39,060
No kinks.

22
00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:40,500
No kinks, no kinks.

23
00:00:41,260 --> 00:00:42,760
This was, this was...

24
00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:45,280
It's so interesting.

25
00:00:45,860 --> 00:00:48,500
I was just trying to read through, like,

26
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,080
people who were writing about it.

27
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,440
Of course, we have clips.

28
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:52,940
We do.

29
00:00:52,940 --> 00:00:53,440
Yeah.

30
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:57,060
The big thing that the M5M was trying

31
00:00:57,060 --> 00:00:59,620
to emphasize was this line.

32
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,680
These events, supported by 500 groups, with combined

33
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,360
revenues of $3 billion.

34
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,420
This is, you know, what is the point

35
00:01:10,420 --> 00:01:11,160
of that?

36
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,800
They're trying to message something, like, this is

37
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,600
scary, powerful.

38
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:20,580
You know?

39
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,360
Did $2 billion go to Bruce Springsteen?

40
00:01:25,020 --> 00:01:28,260
I, I, I don't, I have no clue.

41
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,660
It's good to have you here, John.

42
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,460
Well, thank you.

43
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:34,080
How are you feeling?

44
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,160
Terrible.

45
00:01:35,260 --> 00:01:36,000
I feel terrible.

46
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:37,820
It's a miracle I could do this show.

47
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,760
Well, I'm, I'm actually quite surprised.

48
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,760
Are you sleeping at all, or is that

49
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,140
not...

50
00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:45,400
Well, the sleeping is a problem, because you

51
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,200
kind of just doze off when you feel

52
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:47,620
like it.

53
00:01:48,220 --> 00:01:49,860
But I will say this.

54
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:51,220
Like during the donation segment?

55
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,220
Yeah, that could happen.

56
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,080
It could happen.

57
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,320
Yeah, you will say this.

58
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,000
I will say this.

59
00:01:56,060 --> 00:01:57,800
David Letterman had a quintuple.

60
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:58,520
Yes.

61
00:01:59,060 --> 00:02:00,820
And he was on the stage five weeks

62
00:02:00,820 --> 00:02:01,180
later.

63
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:01,640
Yeah.

64
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,420
Well, he is...

65
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:04,120
That ain't happening here.

66
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,280
He's a superstar.

67
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,700
In the past five weeks already.

68
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,100
No, no, he, that was five weeks after

69
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:10,800
the operation.

70
00:02:10,940 --> 00:02:12,960
You've only had, the operation was 10 days

71
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,340
ago.

72
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:15,780
No, it was on the 6th.

73
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:16,880
Oh, wow.

74
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,140
Well, hurry up, will you?

75
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,320
Get your spark, man.

76
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:23,360
Here's a little overview of, this is from

77
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,100
Euronews.

78
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,400
Here's how the Europeans viewed our No King's

79
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:26,620
Day.

80
00:02:26,820 --> 00:02:28,920
Millions of people took to the streets across

81
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:31,220
the United States to participate in the more

82
00:02:31,220 --> 00:02:34,420
than 3,100 protests taking place against US

83
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:35,700
President Donald Trump.

84
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:38,760
The rallies denounced what they described as an

85
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,060
authoritarian style of governance by the incumbent administration,

86
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:46,900
their immigration stance, climate change denial, isolationist foreign

87
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:49,780
policy, and now, the war in Iran.

88
00:02:50,580 --> 00:02:53,360
In New York, thousands gathered to protest against

89
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,480
sweeping immigration raids carried out by ICE and

90
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,600
called for their abolition.

91
00:02:58,420 --> 00:03:00,900
The rallies even featured a surprise cameo from

92
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:03,300
New York native and Hollywood giant Robert De

93
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:03,640
Niro.

94
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:05,000
De Niro?

95
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,840
Protests also took place in the capital, Washington,

96
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,500
D.C., where hundreds gathered near the White

97
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:11,040
House demanding Trump's ouster.

98
00:03:11,460 --> 00:03:13,460
It's the third time in less than a

99
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:16,100
year these protests, part of a US grassroots

100
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:18,620
movement called No Kings, take place.

101
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:22,200
The demonstrations spread across the pond where thousands

102
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,760
of Americans abroad and locals took part in

103
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,900
rallies across Europe.

104
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:29,120
They were protesting in London, No Kings, oops.

105
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,240
In Paris, protesters called for an end to

106
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Trump's, quote, reckless, irresponsible, and endless wars.

107
00:03:36,420 --> 00:03:39,240
And in the Italian capital, thousands marched calling

108
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,220
for a respective international law and demanding a

109
00:03:42,220 --> 00:03:43,520
world free from wars.

110
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,440
Yeah.

111
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:46,800
I think the branding is off.

112
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,040
No Kings.

113
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,080
Just hate Trump.

114
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,260
That's all that it is.

115
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:51,920
Hate Trump.

116
00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:54,920
Did you see the segment of the New

117
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:00,340
York protest that was literally communists with the

118
00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:01,400
red flag?

119
00:04:02,180 --> 00:04:02,640
No.

120
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:03,740
Yeah.

121
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,380
It must have been a couple thousand people.

122
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:06,780
Oh.

123
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:09,600
They had the flags, they had, you know,

124
00:04:09,740 --> 00:04:11,480
and they had a bunch of jingles that

125
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,800
they would say about communism taking over.

126
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,700
And, you know, it's all kind of a

127
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:22,060
mixed bag of Zeds and maybe some millennials.

128
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,720
Well, I think the Zeds that are in

129
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,940
New York, and I have one, you know,

130
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,960
they all were promised a bunch of stuff

131
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,380
and they probably aren't paying attention that it's

132
00:04:33,380 --> 00:04:34,600
kind of not happening.

133
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:36,860
It's like, well, we got to raise your

134
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:39,640
taxes, you know, raise taxes on property.

135
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,260
So you're probably, you know, probably not going

136
00:04:42,260 --> 00:04:43,940
to freeze the rents.

137
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,140
So they haven't, they just haven't felt the

138
00:04:46,140 --> 00:04:46,840
pain yet.

139
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,660
But, you know, the kids are happy.

140
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,000
They like their red flags.

141
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:52,340
Let them wave them for a little bit.

142
00:04:52,380 --> 00:04:53,860
I'm not so bothered by it.

143
00:04:54,860 --> 00:04:56,600
New York has always been New York.

144
00:04:57,620 --> 00:04:58,480
They'll figure it out.

145
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:00,800
Were you shocked?

146
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,240
No, not at all.

147
00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:07,680
I'm just surprised they came out so, so

148
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,180
blatantly.

149
00:05:08,180 --> 00:05:09,360
Oh, no.

150
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,520
No, this is, but this has always been

151
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,020
the case.

152
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:14,220
We used to arrest people over it in

153
00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:14,620
Hollywood.

154
00:05:14,820 --> 00:05:16,180
And then we gave up that gambit.

155
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,800
I wasn't so cool to be calling people

156
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,120
communists and arresting them.

157
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,900
And so now they're rampant.

158
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:24,820
It doesn't, it doesn't work.

159
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,500
I did, I watched a fair bit of

160
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:32,440
it, the Minneapolis stuff, which was, oh man,

161
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:35,980
they had one crappy band after another.

162
00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:38,480
It's like everybody who has a guitar and

163
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,120
has written a song was allowed to go

164
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,040
up on stage.

165
00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:43,780
Like, oh, it was insufferable.

166
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,140
And then, of course, the great New Jersey

167
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:53,220
icon, Bruce Springsteen, takes the stage to confirm

168
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:54,060
all the lies.

169
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,380
Hello, Minnesota.

170
00:05:55,660 --> 00:05:55,820
Woo!

171
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,180
All right.

172
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:00,660
Hey.

173
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:00,940
Hey.

174
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:02,600
It's turning into a beautiful day.

175
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,760
Well, this past winter, federal troops brought death

176
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,420
and terror to the streets of Minneapolis.

177
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,600
I just, this past winter, federal troops brought

178
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,400
death to the streets of Minnesota.

179
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,500
Well, they picked the wrong city.

180
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:26,100
Yeah.

181
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,340
Should have gone to Tom's River.

182
00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:33,380
The power and the solidarity of the people

183
00:06:33,380 --> 00:06:37,220
of Minneapolis and of Minnesota was an inspiration

184
00:06:37,220 --> 00:06:38,620
to the entire country.

185
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,660
Your strength and your commitment told us that

186
00:06:42,660 --> 00:06:45,400
this is still America.

187
00:06:46,860 --> 00:06:49,540
Just not this little piece here, Bruce.

188
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,620
And this reactionary nightmare.

189
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:52,140
Oh.

190
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:54,480
And these invasions of American cities.

191
00:06:54,660 --> 00:06:55,900
Invasions of America.

192
00:06:55,900 --> 00:07:00,580
Bruce Springsteen, who has several hundred million dollars.

193
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,680
What happened to the guy?

194
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:05,820
I'd like to know myself.

195
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:09,580
Do you think it's toxoplasmosis?

196
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,920
It very well could be.

197
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,460
Something is going on here.

198
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,460
You will not stand.

199
00:07:16,620 --> 00:07:17,820
You gave us hope.

200
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:19,740
You gave us courage.

201
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:24,080
And for those who gave their lives, Rene

202
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,980
Good, mother of three, brutally murdered.

203
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:27,540
Murdered.

204
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,660
Alex Pretty, VA nurse, executed by ICE.

205
00:07:31,820 --> 00:07:32,420
Executed.

206
00:07:32,580 --> 00:07:34,220
Shot in the back and left to die

207
00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:37,040
in the street without even the decency of

208
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,400
our lawless government investigating their deaths.

209
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:41,920
What?

210
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:48,800
Their bravery, their sacrifice, and their names will

211
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,680
not be forgotten.

212
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:50,860
You just can't.

213
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,700
It's like the Howard Stern sickness.

214
00:07:54,860 --> 00:07:55,120
Yeah.

215
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,020
And it's bizarre.

216
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:58,800
They could be cats.

217
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,980
It's got to be cats.

218
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:04,820
It's just, it makes no sense.

219
00:08:05,540 --> 00:08:06,980
He's off the rails.

220
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,000
Well, he's not even on rails.

221
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,420
It's just like, Bruce, come on, man.

222
00:08:12,980 --> 00:08:15,080
I think he's done.

223
00:08:16,340 --> 00:08:18,420
Well, he's been done for a while.

224
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,020
It's just so disappointing.

225
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,280
I mean, I'm from Jersey.

226
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,160
This is not the guy we used to

227
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:23,500
know.

228
00:08:24,460 --> 00:08:26,920
Well, New Jersey's turned blue, so that kind

229
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:27,580
of makes sense.

230
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,360
But the craziest was Jane Fonda.

231
00:08:31,679 --> 00:08:33,900
And she's, I mean, what is No King's

232
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:35,140
supposed to be about?

233
00:08:36,059 --> 00:08:39,220
I mean, was it even about ICE initially?

234
00:08:39,220 --> 00:08:40,080
I can't remember.

235
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,820
But the first No King's was about nothing

236
00:08:42,820 --> 00:08:43,620
except Trump.

237
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,420
Right, Trump.

238
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:45,920
And then it became, this was kind of

239
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:46,560
the Minneapolis.

240
00:08:46,940 --> 00:08:50,540
So it's about federal troops invading our cities.

241
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:51,420
Invading, yeah.

242
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:52,320
Invading our cities.

243
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:53,680
And then Jane Fonda.

244
00:08:54,340 --> 00:08:57,900
I'd really like to just like her because,

245
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,540
you know, here's an elderly woman.

246
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,980
She's 87, 88.

247
00:09:04,820 --> 00:09:07,900
All the work that she's done on herself

248
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:11,460
looks just mind-bogglingly good.

249
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,200
But she makes it so hard for me

250
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:14,940
to like her.

251
00:09:15,260 --> 00:09:17,420
And now she's waffling over this.

252
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,420
I want to say that the First Amendment

253
00:09:19,420 --> 00:09:22,460
suffers greatly in times of war.

254
00:09:22,620 --> 00:09:25,760
As the government works to crush internal dissent.

255
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:26,280
What?

256
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,120
Our parents, our forefathers fought and died for

257
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,540
these rights, for these freedoms.

258
00:09:33,980 --> 00:09:37,020
We must not sit by quietly and watch

259
00:09:37,020 --> 00:09:38,160
them taken away.

260
00:09:38,380 --> 00:09:42,740
If we wait to act, if we hesitate

261
00:09:42,740 --> 00:09:45,900
out of fear or the feeling that it

262
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:49,480
doesn't affect us, it may be too late.

263
00:09:50,020 --> 00:09:51,500
So this is America?

264
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,220
What's she talking about?

265
00:09:53,220 --> 00:09:53,820
Well, exactly.

266
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,120
This is the land of the podcast where

267
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,260
everybody can say whatever they want about anything

268
00:09:59,260 --> 00:10:00,160
or nothing.

269
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,120
And so I had to figure out what

270
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,240
is she talking about?

271
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,880
It made no sense.

272
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,400
So I find, luckily, although it was kind

273
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,960
of hard to watch, she goes on Mrs.

274
00:10:12,980 --> 00:10:14,660
Now with Jen Psaki.

275
00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:17,080
And Jen Psaki is fawning over her.

276
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,620
And she explains because she has a group.

277
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:22,440
She has a First Amendment group because your

278
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,640
First Amendment rights are under attack and being

279
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,440
removed here in America.

280
00:10:27,780 --> 00:10:29,480
And I should note for the audience, you

281
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,600
were in Washington, D.C. today speaking outside

282
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,280
the Kennedy Center for an event.

283
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,460
That's what I'm referring to in defense of

284
00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:36,040
free expression.

285
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,880
So tell us about the event and the

286
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,520
message you were really trying to get across

287
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,320
to people watching.

288
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,640
Yeah, because we don't understand.

289
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,700
Well, the attacks on the arts, on literature,

290
00:10:46,060 --> 00:10:50,100
on film, on museums, the National Endowment of

291
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:50,280
the Arts.

292
00:10:50,540 --> 00:10:53,540
What attack on museums?

293
00:10:54,340 --> 00:10:55,700
What attack on films?

294
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,040
This can only be.

295
00:10:58,380 --> 00:10:59,460
Tell that to Netflix.

296
00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:00,820
Exactly.

297
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:03,160
This can only be that Trump put his

298
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,680
name on the Kennedy Center.

299
00:11:04,820 --> 00:11:06,600
I can't imagine it's about anything else.

300
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:07,440
But she does slip in.

301
00:11:07,580 --> 00:11:09,180
I'm sure that's what it is.

302
00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:09,960
She said gold.

303
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,260
Everybody's so much.

304
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:13,420
She slips in the National Endowment for the

305
00:11:13,420 --> 00:11:13,820
Arts.

306
00:11:14,020 --> 00:11:16,440
OK, all of these are under attack right

307
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:16,680
now.

308
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,220
They're being defunded.

309
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,220
They're being censored.

310
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,900
They're being censored.

311
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:22,820
Nobody's censoring anything.

312
00:11:23,340 --> 00:11:25,260
Well, she she kind of twists herself in

313
00:11:25,260 --> 00:11:27,000
a knot in this short appearance.

314
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,040
Removed history, a special, especially racial history.

315
00:11:32,140 --> 00:11:35,340
The history of slavery is all being erased.

316
00:11:35,340 --> 00:11:36,180
What?

317
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:38,540
It's being erased.

318
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:40,320
Have I missed something?

319
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:42,960
Yeah.

320
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:44,440
OK.

321
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:45,820
And we wanted it.

322
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:50,400
We were we've been we've been deluged with

323
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,780
the history of race deluged.

324
00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:55,460
I think we got it.

325
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:57,000
It's all being erased.

326
00:11:57,460 --> 00:11:59,520
And we wanted it because it's kind of

327
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:00,580
like here and there.

328
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:01,920
Here and there.

329
00:12:02,780 --> 00:12:07,060
We worried that people and the press don't

330
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:11,320
see clearly enough the breadth and depth of

331
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,280
these attacks.

332
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,840
And we have to understand what's happening.

333
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:16,940
This is not normal.

334
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,240
This does not happen in a democracy.

335
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,000
And we have to call it what it

336
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:22,300
is.

337
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:24,240
And we have to end it with a

338
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,500
committee for the First Amendment.

339
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:27,380
It's the First Amendment for.

340
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:29,980
She's the committee for the First Amendment.

341
00:12:29,980 --> 00:12:32,560
Now, hold on, Jen Psaki.

342
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,780
I didn't see this, but Jen Psaki, I'm

343
00:12:35,780 --> 00:12:36,260
guessing.

344
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,700
Goes right to the juggler and askers for

345
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:40,460
specifics.

346
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,620
Yeah, no, yeah, no, no, no, no.

347
00:12:46,660 --> 00:12:49,420
It's just listen, she's on the committee for

348
00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:50,260
the First Amendment.

349
00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:54,360
Oh, and we have to end it with

350
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,800
a committee for the First Amendment.

351
00:12:56,140 --> 00:12:58,260
It's the First Amendment for a reason.

352
00:12:58,260 --> 00:12:59,660
It's the most important.

353
00:12:59,860 --> 00:13:02,240
It's the cornerstone of all democracies.

354
00:13:02,380 --> 00:13:03,920
It's freedom of speech.

355
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,780
Freedom of the First Amendment.

356
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,520
It's the cornerstone of all democracy.

357
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:10,360
All democracy.

358
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:12,060
First Amendment for a reason.

359
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,480
It's the most important.

360
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,060
It's the cornerstone of all democracies.

361
00:13:16,260 --> 00:13:17,680
It's freedom of speech.

362
00:13:17,780 --> 00:13:18,040
Okay.

363
00:13:18,260 --> 00:13:19,280
Freedom of press.

364
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,660
Freedom of religion.

365
00:13:21,060 --> 00:13:22,320
Freedom of assembly.

366
00:13:22,540 --> 00:13:25,460
And freedom to protest, including the right to.

367
00:13:25,460 --> 00:13:26,060
Is that in there?

368
00:13:26,060 --> 00:13:28,520
Let me go take a look and see

369
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,080
if it says freedom to protest, I'm not

370
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,940
sure it's actually in there that way.

371
00:13:33,140 --> 00:13:35,100
Freedom of assembly and freedom to protest.

372
00:13:35,180 --> 00:13:36,780
For someone who's on the committee, she could

373
00:13:36,780 --> 00:13:38,680
at least just cite it verbatim.

374
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,860
Including the right to criticize our president if

375
00:13:42,860 --> 00:13:43,500
we choose.

376
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,080
This is under attack.

377
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,160
Yes, yes, that's under attack.

378
00:13:51,220 --> 00:13:52,260
So yeah.

379
00:13:52,260 --> 00:13:55,440
And gee, nobody's ever criticized Trump.

380
00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:58,640
It's the oddest thing.

381
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,800
Maybe I'm wrong about her, but I never

382
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,940
thought that she felt the need to be

383
00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:06,400
relevant.

384
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,840
A lot of Hollywood people do that.

385
00:14:09,980 --> 00:14:11,840
I never really pegged her that way.

386
00:14:12,860 --> 00:14:14,560
But I guess I can't come up with

387
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:16,640
any other reason for her to be like

388
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:17,000
this.

389
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:20,680
She, you know, once you invest some money

390
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,580
and make some independent films and, you know,

391
00:14:23,620 --> 00:14:26,120
do some theater productions, I don't think anyone's

392
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:26,900
going to stop you.

393
00:14:28,140 --> 00:14:32,380
But it's somehow, maybe there's a defunding of

394
00:14:32,380 --> 00:14:33,160
certain things.

395
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,880
Maybe that's what she's upset about.

396
00:14:35,980 --> 00:14:38,300
But that's not the First Amendment.

397
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,680
First Amendment doesn't say, oh, you shall get

398
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,880
free money for your theater productions.

399
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,740
So I was a little confused.

400
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,460
What do you have on No King's?

401
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:49,960
Do you have anything?

402
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:50,340
Nothing.

403
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,220
I got no clips.

404
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:52,380
I wasn't going to really talk about it.

405
00:14:52,380 --> 00:14:54,560
Well, what's this No King's rap NPR then?

406
00:14:55,860 --> 00:14:57,760
Well, this is the NPR rap of No

407
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:58,100
King's Day.

408
00:15:00,180 --> 00:15:01,440
See, you're being censored.

409
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,320
Your clips are being obfuscated.

410
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:05,880
No King's protests against President Trump and his

411
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,340
policies, including the war on Iran, immigration, voting

412
00:15:09,340 --> 00:15:11,540
rights, and the rising cost of living, are

413
00:15:11,540 --> 00:15:13,020
taking place around the country today.

414
00:15:13,020 --> 00:15:15,880
Organizers say more than 3,000 rallies are

415
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,960
being held and millions of people are expected

416
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,760
to attend.

417
00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:23,640
Sarah Ferguson from Minnesota Public Radio has more

418
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,240
from a massive rally in St. Paul.

419
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,220
There's been a lot of cheering as people,

420
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,260
especially non-Minnesotans, have lifted up the people

421
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:35,020
of Minnesota for the way that they reacted

422
00:15:35,020 --> 00:15:39,460
to Operation Metro Surge and really encouraged others

423
00:15:39,460 --> 00:15:42,100
around the country who are watching to take

424
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:44,740
steps to follow up on the things that

425
00:15:44,740 --> 00:15:48,300
Minnesotans have done, respecting one another, trying to

426
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:50,840
support their neighbors, and just a lot of

427
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,520
cheers here as some of the speakers say

428
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,500
that the country does not want a king

429
00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:57,380
and they want to make sure that the

430
00:15:57,380 --> 00:15:58,400
people are empowered.

431
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,300
Is this all about the ID, about the

432
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:03,920
SAVE Act?

433
00:16:03,980 --> 00:16:04,980
Do you think that's part of it?

434
00:16:04,980 --> 00:16:05,380
I don't know.

435
00:16:05,380 --> 00:16:06,540
I didn't see much talk about it.

436
00:16:07,980 --> 00:16:10,000
But, I mean, it just, it makes no

437
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:10,300
sense.

438
00:16:10,380 --> 00:16:12,660
It seems like protests just to protest.

439
00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:16,060
People with nothing better to do.

440
00:16:16,340 --> 00:16:17,220
I have no idea.

441
00:16:18,220 --> 00:16:18,880
It's silly.

442
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,060
I'm going to say it.

443
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,140
It's silly.

444
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:22,700
Yes.

445
00:16:23,020 --> 00:16:23,240
Wow.

446
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,180
And you pointed it out right at the

447
00:16:25,180 --> 00:16:26,660
beginning, which is the silliest part.

448
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,760
You know, all these international versions of this,

449
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,540
including one in England.

450
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:33,140
No king's day.

451
00:16:33,220 --> 00:16:34,120
Where they have a king.

452
00:16:34,540 --> 00:16:35,560
Where they have a king.

453
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,380
You know, I've been trying to figure out

454
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:41,320
the backlash against Cesar Chavez.

455
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,020
I think you were back on that.

456
00:16:44,180 --> 00:16:46,580
Yeah, well, it's related, I think.

457
00:16:46,620 --> 00:16:47,320
I think it's related.

458
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:47,440
You think?

459
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,840
Yeah, I think it is.

460
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,700
In February, RFK Jr. was on Rogan, and

461
00:16:55,700 --> 00:16:58,320
he explained what happened.

462
00:16:58,420 --> 00:17:01,720
You know, throughout American history, there's always talk,

463
00:17:01,780 --> 00:17:04,200
well, the Republican Party and the Democrat Party,

464
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:04,800
they flipped.

465
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:05,760
They flipped over.

466
00:17:06,460 --> 00:17:06,700
They flipped.

467
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:07,020
Yeah, bullshit.

468
00:17:07,540 --> 00:17:10,640
Well, but this is a kind of a

469
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,839
flip that sounds correct.

470
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,800
Why don't you ask me about immigration?

471
00:17:14,980 --> 00:17:16,980
Because I know that that's something that's disturbed

472
00:17:16,980 --> 00:17:17,319
you.

473
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:20,900
Well, what are your thoughts on immigration?

474
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:22,579
On what's going on?

475
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,980
Well, you know, here's a background on my

476
00:17:25,980 --> 00:17:26,800
kind of assumptions.

477
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,480
During the last 10 years of his life,

478
00:17:30,580 --> 00:17:33,620
I worked very closely with Cesar Chavez, and

479
00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:34,180
I worked with him.

480
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,380
He had two issues.

481
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,640
He had the pesticides, which were a huge

482
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,040
issue with him, and that's what I worked

483
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,540
with him on, on the dangers that, you

484
00:17:41,540 --> 00:17:46,140
know, his workers were experiencing from pesticides.

485
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,520
And the other issue he had was immigration.

486
00:17:48,660 --> 00:17:51,060
He wanted to shut down the border because

487
00:17:51,060 --> 00:17:55,220
he saw the way that it was impairing

488
00:17:55,220 --> 00:18:00,860
this huge influx of illegal immigration across the

489
00:18:00,860 --> 00:18:05,120
border was impairing his ability to get, to

490
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:07,620
bargain, to leverage good wages and conditions for

491
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:08,140
his workers.

492
00:18:09,180 --> 00:18:11,580
And when I grew up, the Democratic Party

493
00:18:11,580 --> 00:18:14,640
was against immigration, and it was the Republican

494
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,640
Party who wanted it because the big corporations

495
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,560
wanted cheap labor.

496
00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:22,240
The Chamber of Commerce was firmly embedded in

497
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,240
the Republican Party, and they were all about

498
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:24,980
open borders.

499
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,700
Today, the Chamber of Commerce is with the

500
00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:28,520
Democratic Party.

501
00:18:29,540 --> 00:18:31,320
And so it's one of these switches that

502
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,320
is kind of inexplicable to me.

503
00:18:33,420 --> 00:18:37,160
But I think, again, it happened because President

504
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,480
Trump said, I'm going to fix it with

505
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,800
a wall, and that became, you know, and

506
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,980
that suddenly became open borders, suddenly became a

507
00:18:44,980 --> 00:18:46,680
calling card for the Democratic Party.

508
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,100
So there was this flip, which really only

509
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:50,920
had to do with- Well, yeah, a

510
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,300
lot of things.

511
00:18:51,460 --> 00:18:53,000
Well, I mean- Yeah.

512
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:53,940
Yeah.

513
00:18:54,180 --> 00:18:57,480
The two sides, and this is recent, this

514
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,600
one, because you can get clips from Schumer.

515
00:18:59,820 --> 00:19:01,880
I don't have any on today's show, but,

516
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:04,460
you know, talking and moaning and groaning about

517
00:19:04,460 --> 00:19:05,080
immigration.

518
00:19:05,540 --> 00:19:07,960
You can get clips from Hillary moaning and

519
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,020
groaning about immigration.

520
00:19:09,220 --> 00:19:11,340
You can get all these clips, even up

521
00:19:11,340 --> 00:19:11,920
to Obama.

522
00:19:12,820 --> 00:19:14,780
And now they say just the opposite.

523
00:19:15,460 --> 00:19:15,860
Yeah.

524
00:19:15,860 --> 00:19:18,300
But you could call it a flip.

525
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,280
But what specifically do you think- Is

526
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,060
the reason for this?

527
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:23,700
Is the reason.

528
00:19:24,140 --> 00:19:30,720
Three documentaries, American Pachuco, the legend of Luis

529
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:36,780
Valdez, American Agitators, which I think may be

530
00:19:36,780 --> 00:19:38,800
out already, and A Song for Caesar.

531
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,780
American Pachuco?

532
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:41,320
Yeah.

533
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,720
I have no idea what that means.

534
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,600
I do.

535
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:46,580
What does it mean?

536
00:19:46,940 --> 00:19:48,980
Well, it's kind of like a punk, a

537
00:19:48,980 --> 00:19:51,620
bad guy.

538
00:19:52,220 --> 00:19:55,000
You'd call it, when I was a kid,

539
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,860
I was raised in largely Hispanic areas, and

540
00:19:58,860 --> 00:20:02,880
these guys would call me, hey, Pachuco.

541
00:20:03,540 --> 00:20:04,600
Hey, Pachuco.

542
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,040
And Vato.

543
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:07,300
Vato is the other one.

544
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,580
Would they call you Pachuco?

545
00:20:08,980 --> 00:20:10,040
No, I was a white guy.

546
00:20:10,140 --> 00:20:11,560
Nobody even talked to me much.

547
00:20:12,260 --> 00:20:14,700
You were just hanging around, me and Julio

548
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:15,800
down by the schoolyard?

549
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:16,960
No, I had a lot of friends.

550
00:20:17,220 --> 00:20:19,100
When I was in high school- Hey,

551
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:19,780
Pachuco.

552
00:20:20,340 --> 00:20:26,540
Before they opened up our white high school,

553
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:32,460
I went to a pretty much Latino high

554
00:20:32,460 --> 00:20:32,760
school.

555
00:20:32,980 --> 00:20:33,620
Wait a minute.

556
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,500
You were a minority?

557
00:20:36,660 --> 00:20:37,400
Did you get beat up?

558
00:20:37,460 --> 00:20:38,320
Did they take your lunch money?

559
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:38,920
Not at all.

560
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,080
In fact, it was just the opposite.

561
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,340
Oh, you were Gringo.

562
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,480
Would they call you, hey, Gringo?

563
00:20:42,540 --> 00:20:44,460
No, they just said, hey, man, that guy's

564
00:20:44,460 --> 00:20:45,260
really white.

565
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,220
That's what they'd say.

566
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,720
Everybody hung out with their own little crowd,

567
00:20:52,420 --> 00:20:56,120
but just as an aside, to this day,

568
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,620
and I've talked about this with everybody I

569
00:20:57,620 --> 00:21:01,500
know, I'm still impressed with the natural marketing

570
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:05,100
capabilities of some of these kids.

571
00:21:06,020 --> 00:21:08,080
At the time, we called them Chicanos.

572
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,780
When we were running for, I think it

573
00:21:11,780 --> 00:21:16,440
was, sophomore class president, we already knew who

574
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,780
was going to win and who might not

575
00:21:17,780 --> 00:21:19,480
win, but this one kid came up with

576
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,380
these giant posters.

577
00:21:21,620 --> 00:21:25,060
He'd make these long banners, and he won

578
00:21:25,060 --> 00:21:29,980
with the phrase, Hernandez is gooder.

579
00:21:32,820 --> 00:21:34,660
It was so catchy.

580
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:37,280
You look at it, you go, Hernandez is

581
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,440
gooder, and you say, wow, I don't know

582
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,520
what kind of genius came up with that

583
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,020
one, but it was a gem, and he

584
00:21:44,020 --> 00:21:45,740
just kicked ass in the voting.

585
00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:47,280
So I'm looking at this.

586
00:21:47,420 --> 00:21:50,020
This is from Hawaii Public Radio.

587
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,500
They have a report here.

588
00:21:52,380 --> 00:21:56,560
This America Pachuco premiered at Sundance in January.

589
00:21:57,060 --> 00:21:59,740
It's slated for release, a PBS release in

590
00:21:59,740 --> 00:22:00,140
fall.

591
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:00,600
Interesting.

592
00:22:01,460 --> 00:22:02,220
And here's the line.

593
00:22:02,220 --> 00:22:06,040
Recent screenings have become safe spaces for audiences

594
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,320
to process the new allegations as the film

595
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,000
contains significant footage of Chavez.

596
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:16,680
Oh, that's funny.

597
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,860
There's an oops.

598
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:21,220
Maybe the whole idea was to ruin that

599
00:22:21,220 --> 00:22:21,640
film.

600
00:22:22,140 --> 00:22:22,780
Could be.

601
00:22:24,460 --> 00:22:27,420
But that RFK Jr. is talking about on

602
00:22:27,420 --> 00:22:36,060
Rogan in February, the timing is interesting, and

603
00:22:36,060 --> 00:22:38,500
maybe there's something afoot, and they're like, oh,

604
00:22:38,620 --> 00:22:39,140
crap.

605
00:22:39,220 --> 00:22:40,820
They're going to use Hugo Chavez.

606
00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:41,980
They're going to use him.

607
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,880
We got to do something quick.

608
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:46,100
We got to cancel this guy.

609
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:48,980
Maybe it's exactly what you talk.

610
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,280
Maybe it's the gooder guys.

611
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,660
Maybe they're going after the Chicanos.

612
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,280
Like, we can't have the Chicanos voting for

613
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:55,700
Trump.

614
00:22:57,060 --> 00:22:58,900
Oh, that's got to be some angle there.

615
00:22:58,980 --> 00:23:00,960
Yeah, I'm thinking it has something to do

616
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,440
with it.

617
00:23:04,370 --> 00:23:05,070
Yeah, could be.

618
00:23:05,450 --> 00:23:07,290
Well, we keep looking.

619
00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:08,030
We keep looking.

620
00:23:08,530 --> 00:23:08,730
All right.

621
00:23:08,770 --> 00:23:09,470
What do you where do you want to

622
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:09,670
go?

623
00:23:09,790 --> 00:23:10,250
What you got?

624
00:23:10,330 --> 00:23:11,790
Well, I got a couple of interesting little

625
00:23:11,790 --> 00:23:12,370
side.

626
00:23:12,530 --> 00:23:14,050
If you want to hear something off the

627
00:23:14,050 --> 00:23:16,410
wall, you haven't even touched upon.

628
00:23:16,670 --> 00:23:17,510
OK, we have.

629
00:23:17,710 --> 00:23:18,950
I didn't hear about it.

630
00:23:18,950 --> 00:23:22,310
I have to say Canada's got, you know,

631
00:23:22,350 --> 00:23:23,370
B.C.'s going broke.

632
00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:24,810
Oh, are they now?

633
00:23:25,150 --> 00:23:27,750
Well, B.C.'s credit rating has been downgraded

634
00:23:27,750 --> 00:23:28,310
again.

635
00:23:28,630 --> 00:23:31,250
The official opposition says it signals to investors

636
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:33,750
that the province is going broke.

637
00:23:34,450 --> 00:23:34,570
Huh?

638
00:23:35,890 --> 00:23:37,810
Yeah, B.C.'s going broken.

639
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:39,870
And in fact, the whole country might be

640
00:23:39,870 --> 00:23:40,350
going broke.

641
00:23:40,470 --> 00:23:41,530
Let's play this clip.

642
00:23:41,730 --> 00:23:43,290
Canada bank fees.

643
00:23:43,730 --> 00:23:44,630
New survey now.

644
00:23:45,050 --> 00:23:47,050
CTV puts out a new survey.

645
00:23:47,050 --> 00:23:49,690
Nearly half of Canadians living paycheck to paycheck.

646
00:23:49,890 --> 00:23:51,610
You know, you have another slow clap for

647
00:23:51,610 --> 00:23:52,790
all these policies here.

648
00:23:53,170 --> 00:23:56,010
Half of Canadians in this rich, rich nation.

649
00:23:56,250 --> 00:23:58,050
And then you're going to have Francois-Philippe

650
00:23:58,050 --> 00:24:01,050
Champagne is bragging that they're cutting the NSF

651
00:24:01,050 --> 00:24:02,830
fees from 50 bucks to 10 bucks because

652
00:24:02,830 --> 00:24:04,850
one in three Canadians now writing bad checks

653
00:24:04,850 --> 00:24:06,850
without realizing what he's saying.

654
00:24:06,990 --> 00:24:08,290
He thinks you're that stupid.

655
00:24:08,410 --> 00:24:10,190
One in three Canadians writing bad checks.

656
00:24:10,570 --> 00:24:12,750
Half of Canadians living paycheck to paycheck in

657
00:24:12,750 --> 00:24:14,610
a nation as rich as this.

658
00:24:14,610 --> 00:24:16,710
You squandered riches.

659
00:24:17,150 --> 00:24:18,410
You've impoverished a nation.

660
00:24:18,670 --> 00:24:20,730
And you're bragging on there like he must

661
00:24:20,730 --> 00:24:21,970
have done that, took them all day too

662
00:24:21,970 --> 00:24:23,830
because we saw the hard cuts in there

663
00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:23,970
too.

664
00:24:24,050 --> 00:24:26,630
They couldn't even stitch together like a moment.

665
00:24:26,810 --> 00:24:28,330
It was just full of like hard cuts

666
00:24:28,330 --> 00:24:31,170
as Francois-Philippe Champagne was telling you that

667
00:24:31,170 --> 00:24:32,770
you're going to get a grocery credit and

668
00:24:32,770 --> 00:24:35,490
you're going to get the $40 off NSF

669
00:24:35,490 --> 00:24:39,010
fees in a nation where the Canadian banking

670
00:24:39,010 --> 00:24:43,510
oligopoly books record profits year after year and

671
00:24:43,510 --> 00:24:44,790
they won't let the competition in.

672
00:24:45,190 --> 00:24:46,950
They should try a No King's Day.

673
00:24:48,210 --> 00:24:50,010
You got problems up there that we're not

674
00:24:50,010 --> 00:24:52,410
carefully looking at.

675
00:24:52,510 --> 00:24:55,390
Well, our producers, and we have a lot

676
00:24:55,390 --> 00:24:57,370
of them in Canada, pretty much all of

677
00:24:57,370 --> 00:24:58,350
them want to come live here.

678
00:24:59,550 --> 00:25:01,570
I remember during COVID like, hey man, can

679
00:25:01,570 --> 00:25:03,230
I stay in your attic?

680
00:25:05,330 --> 00:25:06,390
Got any space?

681
00:25:07,530 --> 00:25:10,990
And then also, which I think is coming

682
00:25:10,990 --> 00:25:12,850
to a boil up in Canada, but not

683
00:25:12,850 --> 00:25:13,550
so much here.

684
00:25:14,090 --> 00:25:15,390
I want to play these clips.

685
00:25:16,010 --> 00:25:21,990
This is Land Act 1, China Deals UN.

686
00:25:22,370 --> 00:25:24,250
A new measure was announced this week to

687
00:25:24,250 --> 00:25:26,430
try and help stimulate the housing market.

688
00:25:26,650 --> 00:25:28,850
And it marks the third one that came

689
00:25:28,850 --> 00:25:30,050
out just this month.

690
00:25:30,450 --> 00:25:32,870
We ultimately may hear of even more of

691
00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:34,850
these to come as the pre-sale market

692
00:25:34,850 --> 00:25:36,850
continues to struggle immensely.

693
00:25:37,310 --> 00:25:41,030
Plus, we saw another major project go insolvent.

694
00:25:41,290 --> 00:25:43,670
I also have updates on where markets are

695
00:25:43,670 --> 00:25:46,890
pricing in potential Bank of Canada rate hikes.

696
00:25:47,470 --> 00:25:50,770
Plus, there is an incredible theory that has

697
00:25:50,770 --> 00:25:53,070
emerged this week as to why the government

698
00:25:53,070 --> 00:25:56,510
is making these land agreements with indigenous groups.

699
00:25:57,230 --> 00:25:57,910
Okay.

700
00:25:58,670 --> 00:25:59,270
All right.

701
00:25:59,390 --> 00:26:00,290
Something's going on.

702
00:26:01,450 --> 00:26:03,470
Yeah, there's a bunch of weird stuff going

703
00:26:03,470 --> 00:26:05,250
on with these indigenous groups.

704
00:26:05,250 --> 00:26:06,650
I like the way they call them.

705
00:26:06,890 --> 00:26:07,410
The Indians.

706
00:26:07,910 --> 00:26:08,010
Yeah.

707
00:26:08,870 --> 00:26:11,210
Play Land Act China Deals.

708
00:26:11,490 --> 00:26:11,990
Oh, that's the one.

709
00:26:12,130 --> 00:26:12,550
No, wait, wait, wait.

710
00:26:12,610 --> 00:26:13,430
That's the one I just played.

711
00:26:14,150 --> 00:26:14,610
No, you played.

712
00:26:14,630 --> 00:26:15,270
Oh, no, I see.

713
00:26:15,350 --> 00:26:15,730
I got it.

714
00:26:15,730 --> 00:26:16,110
I see it.

715
00:26:16,150 --> 00:26:16,270
Yeah.

716
00:26:16,350 --> 00:26:16,870
The UN?

717
00:26:18,930 --> 00:26:19,270
Correct.

718
00:26:19,610 --> 00:26:20,450
They look the same.

719
00:26:20,970 --> 00:26:22,410
The one that looks the same that doesn't

720
00:26:22,410 --> 00:26:22,990
have one.

721
00:26:23,130 --> 00:26:23,230
Yeah.

722
00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:23,770
Land.

723
00:26:24,150 --> 00:26:24,490
Okay.

724
00:26:24,730 --> 00:26:25,250
Here we go.

725
00:26:25,570 --> 00:26:28,950
The strategy focuses on joint ventures and equity

726
00:26:28,950 --> 00:26:29,590
positions.

727
00:26:29,910 --> 00:26:32,690
In these models, the First Nations retain its

728
00:26:32,690 --> 00:26:33,010
right.

729
00:26:33,130 --> 00:26:33,770
First Nations.

730
00:26:33,770 --> 00:26:34,510
That's what they are.

731
00:26:34,590 --> 00:26:35,270
First Nations.

732
00:26:35,470 --> 00:26:35,730
You got it.

733
00:26:35,830 --> 00:26:36,430
First Nations.

734
00:26:36,590 --> 00:26:39,190
In these models, the First Nations retain its

735
00:26:39,190 --> 00:26:42,030
rights and title while the Chinese partner provides

736
00:26:42,030 --> 00:26:45,050
the capital and expertise to develop the resource

737
00:26:45,050 --> 00:26:47,470
under a profit sharing or lease agreement.

738
00:26:47,690 --> 00:26:49,530
So, while China already remains a bit of

739
00:26:49,530 --> 00:26:51,910
a dominant force within the global mineral supply

740
00:26:51,910 --> 00:26:55,250
chain, recent and somewhat new Canadian federal policies

741
00:26:55,250 --> 00:26:58,870
on March 26, a report came out that

742
00:26:58,870 --> 00:27:00,710
kind of supports this theory.

743
00:27:00,710 --> 00:27:05,270
The provincial government's implementation of the United Nations

744
00:27:05,270 --> 00:27:07,570
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act

745
00:27:07,570 --> 00:27:10,290
or DRIPA combined with a series of landmark

746
00:27:10,290 --> 00:27:14,170
court decisions confirming Aboriginal title over specific territories

747
00:27:14,170 --> 00:27:18,370
has rapidly altered the legal landscape governing resource

748
00:27:18,370 --> 00:27:20,390
extraction in Western Canada.

749
00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:23,550
More land is now subject to Indigenous control.

750
00:27:23,930 --> 00:27:26,610
More projects require Indigenous consent.

751
00:27:27,050 --> 00:27:30,030
These are, in principle, corrections to historical wrongs.

752
00:27:30,030 --> 00:27:33,150
But also mean that the pathways to Canada's

753
00:27:33,150 --> 00:27:37,110
most strategically valuable resources, lithium, cobalt, rare earth

754
00:27:37,110 --> 00:27:40,910
elements, timber, and LNG, now runs, in many

755
00:27:40,910 --> 00:27:43,650
cases, directly through First Nations governments.

756
00:27:44,250 --> 00:27:44,650
Okay.

757
00:27:45,370 --> 00:27:48,320
So, they are selling...

758
00:27:49,010 --> 00:27:52,930
By the way, with Chinese financing.

759
00:27:53,410 --> 00:27:53,790
Well, yeah.

760
00:27:54,610 --> 00:27:56,570
What the yellow man once...

761
00:27:56,570 --> 00:27:58,070
What the white man once took, now they're

762
00:27:58,070 --> 00:27:59,150
giving to the yellow man.

763
00:28:00,050 --> 00:28:01,430
And it's the minerals.

764
00:28:01,810 --> 00:28:03,430
And it's the...

765
00:28:03,430 --> 00:28:04,370
Oh, man.

766
00:28:05,810 --> 00:28:08,830
So, are they liquoring them up first before

767
00:28:08,830 --> 00:28:09,730
they put these deals in front of them?

768
00:28:09,730 --> 00:28:12,970
This is going on in Washington state also.

769
00:28:14,330 --> 00:28:20,190
They're giving property back to the local Indian

770
00:28:20,190 --> 00:28:24,590
tribes who already sold the land to the

771
00:28:24,590 --> 00:28:26,470
state or the local governments.

772
00:28:26,890 --> 00:28:30,470
And then they're pulling the plug on taxes.

773
00:28:30,730 --> 00:28:31,610
They don't have to pay taxes.

774
00:28:31,890 --> 00:28:33,090
They get the...

775
00:28:33,090 --> 00:28:37,930
There's no regulations that don't count.

776
00:28:38,590 --> 00:28:39,890
It's very fishy.

777
00:28:40,010 --> 00:28:41,950
The Chinese seem to be behind it.

778
00:28:41,950 --> 00:28:45,950
And this UN resolution, which requires people to...

779
00:28:47,270 --> 00:28:49,190
They're the ones behind the land acknowledgements.

780
00:28:49,770 --> 00:28:50,730
And I have a whole bunch of them

781
00:28:50,730 --> 00:28:51,010
here.

782
00:28:52,410 --> 00:28:58,250
In fact, the land acknowledgements seems to be

783
00:28:58,250 --> 00:28:59,890
a way of softening us up.

784
00:29:00,310 --> 00:29:02,650
Play this clip from this woman who tried

785
00:29:02,650 --> 00:29:03,970
to pass a bill.

786
00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:07,670
And she's a conservative in BC.

787
00:29:07,670 --> 00:29:12,050
And this is the BC mess land acknowledgement

788
00:29:12,050 --> 00:29:13,570
story from the CBC.

789
00:29:14,050 --> 00:29:17,290
One BC leader, Dallas Brody, says that land

790
00:29:17,290 --> 00:29:20,270
acknowledgements, which are often what you hear when

791
00:29:20,270 --> 00:29:22,250
a public official starts an event.

792
00:29:22,250 --> 00:29:24,590
They'll say, we're standing on the traditional territories

793
00:29:24,590 --> 00:29:26,770
of the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nation.

794
00:29:26,990 --> 00:29:29,450
She says that that is teaching our children

795
00:29:29,450 --> 00:29:31,450
that they live on stolen land, that they

796
00:29:31,450 --> 00:29:33,250
should be ashamed of their history.

797
00:29:33,250 --> 00:29:35,610
And for that reason, that those land acknowledgements

798
00:29:35,610 --> 00:29:39,030
should be banned among public employees.

799
00:29:39,250 --> 00:29:40,710
Here's a bit of what Dallas Brody had

800
00:29:40,710 --> 00:29:41,070
to say.

801
00:29:41,270 --> 00:29:44,350
Land acknowledgements are the anthem of a suicidal

802
00:29:44,350 --> 00:29:44,950
nation.

803
00:29:45,510 --> 00:29:48,470
They tell our children that we stand on

804
00:29:48,470 --> 00:29:49,450
stolen land.

805
00:29:50,230 --> 00:29:52,830
So now this private member's bill was voted

806
00:29:52,830 --> 00:29:54,390
down on first reading.

807
00:29:54,610 --> 00:29:57,050
That is quite rare because even MLAs, when

808
00:29:57,050 --> 00:29:59,130
they disagree with a private member's bill, they'll

809
00:29:59,130 --> 00:30:01,070
still vote it through first reading to have

810
00:30:01,070 --> 00:30:01,830
a debate on it.

811
00:30:01,830 --> 00:30:05,250
Not so with bills put forward so far

812
00:30:05,250 --> 00:30:06,310
by One BC.

813
00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:10,230
I will note that the entire BC Conservative

814
00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:12,850
Caucus voted against the bill except for two,

815
00:30:13,230 --> 00:30:15,310
Harman Bangu and Heather Moss.

816
00:30:15,690 --> 00:30:18,530
So this was an unwhipped vote, but showing

817
00:30:18,530 --> 00:30:21,090
a little bit of, you know, fissures within

818
00:30:21,090 --> 00:30:23,110
the BC Conservatives on how to approach this

819
00:30:23,110 --> 00:30:23,370
bill.

820
00:30:23,950 --> 00:30:26,230
And Katie, what do First Nations leaders say

821
00:30:26,230 --> 00:30:27,270
about this proposed bill?

822
00:30:27,570 --> 00:30:29,770
Well, I spoke with Robert Phillips.

823
00:30:29,770 --> 00:30:31,870
He sits on the First Nations Political Summit,

824
00:30:32,850 --> 00:30:35,310
or a political executive of the First Nations

825
00:30:35,310 --> 00:30:35,610
Summit.

826
00:30:36,030 --> 00:30:39,150
And he says that land acknowledgements are just

827
00:30:39,150 --> 00:30:41,710
acknowledging our history and are an important part

828
00:30:41,710 --> 00:30:42,490
of reconciliation.

829
00:30:43,190 --> 00:30:46,290
We also spoke to BC Conservative House Leader

830
00:30:46,290 --> 00:30:48,710
Alia Warbas, who is from the Stolo First

831
00:30:48,710 --> 00:30:49,070
Nation.

832
00:30:49,510 --> 00:30:51,750
And, you know, she's quite disappointed with the

833
00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:53,570
spirit of this bill.

834
00:30:53,650 --> 00:30:54,570
And here's a bit of what she had

835
00:30:54,570 --> 00:30:54,910
to say.

836
00:30:55,110 --> 00:30:57,310
I've lived with racism all of my life.

837
00:30:57,310 --> 00:31:00,790
Hong Kong, no more to stand with China.

838
00:31:02,110 --> 00:31:03,970
It shouldn't be playing anymore, is it?

839
00:31:04,170 --> 00:31:05,010
No, it's not playing.

840
00:31:05,510 --> 00:31:08,070
So it sounds to me, just listening to

841
00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:13,070
it, it sounds like they gave this land

842
00:31:13,070 --> 00:31:15,490
to the First Nations, you know, tax free

843
00:31:15,490 --> 00:31:15,950
land.

844
00:31:16,190 --> 00:31:17,390
It's all gooder.

845
00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:20,650
And now they're like, well, you know, we're

846
00:31:20,650 --> 00:31:22,650
going to acknowledge this, but we're going to

847
00:31:22,650 --> 00:31:24,950
have China buy it for the minerals and

848
00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:27,770
probably people are on the inside making a

849
00:31:27,770 --> 00:31:28,590
killing off of it.

850
00:31:29,170 --> 00:31:29,430
Yep.

851
00:31:30,530 --> 00:31:32,910
Do you have any clips that confirm this?

852
00:31:33,430 --> 00:31:35,170
Not that part, but I'm going to get

853
00:31:35,170 --> 00:31:37,070
some because this is this is a big

854
00:31:37,070 --> 00:31:37,410
deal.

855
00:31:37,550 --> 00:31:40,390
And it's going to kill BC and probably

856
00:31:40,390 --> 00:31:43,390
Washington state because they're all suckered into it.

857
00:31:43,710 --> 00:31:47,130
And it all stems from this 2016 UN

858
00:31:47,130 --> 00:31:47,910
resolution.

859
00:31:47,910 --> 00:31:50,250
And I think there was one previous in

860
00:31:50,250 --> 00:31:56,830
2007 that encourages people to do these land

861
00:31:56,830 --> 00:32:00,090
acknowledgements, which is only applicable to the United

862
00:32:00,090 --> 00:32:00,970
States and Canada.

863
00:32:01,410 --> 00:32:02,570
Nobody else does it.

864
00:32:03,150 --> 00:32:04,650
The South Americans don't do it.

865
00:32:04,650 --> 00:32:06,610
And they stepped all over Amazonians.

866
00:32:07,150 --> 00:32:09,490
And, you know, it's ludicrous.

867
00:32:09,990 --> 00:32:11,890
And which brings me to three clips I

868
00:32:11,890 --> 00:32:15,630
have of classic land acknowledgements that I thought

869
00:32:15,630 --> 00:32:16,910
were funny enough to play.

870
00:32:16,910 --> 00:32:17,350
Okay.

871
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:22,430
So let's start with Paul's boat, Washington, which

872
00:32:22,430 --> 00:32:25,390
is a little town that is a little

873
00:32:25,390 --> 00:32:28,470
Norwegian copy of a little Norwegian town in

874
00:32:28,470 --> 00:32:29,330
Washington state.

875
00:32:29,450 --> 00:32:30,650
That is a tourist attraction.

876
00:32:31,690 --> 00:32:32,990
Norwegian all the way.

877
00:32:33,290 --> 00:32:35,390
And here's they have a city council meeting.

878
00:32:35,510 --> 00:32:36,310
They do this.

879
00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:39,090
Paul's boat is located on the ancestral lands

880
00:32:39,090 --> 00:32:42,870
of the indigenous people for whom this place

881
00:32:42,870 --> 00:32:45,090
was known as Tuk Tuk lot or the

882
00:32:45,090 --> 00:32:46,870
land of the vine maples.

883
00:32:47,330 --> 00:32:49,450
And here's a quote by Chief Seattle.

884
00:32:49,950 --> 00:32:51,690
Every part of the soil is sacred.

885
00:32:52,090 --> 00:32:54,690
And the estimation of my people, every hillside,

886
00:32:55,030 --> 00:32:58,550
every, every valley, every plain and grove has

887
00:32:58,550 --> 00:33:01,790
been hollowed by some sad or happy event

888
00:33:01,790 --> 00:33:03,930
in days long vanish.

889
00:33:08,580 --> 00:33:09,870
You've acknowledged the land.

890
00:33:10,030 --> 00:33:10,350
Very good.

891
00:33:10,530 --> 00:33:10,970
Unbelievable.

892
00:33:10,970 --> 00:33:12,610
And, and we don't know it.

893
00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:14,970
Most of us don't that the Los Angeles

894
00:33:14,970 --> 00:33:16,910
city council pulls this stunt.

895
00:33:17,030 --> 00:33:19,850
The city of Los Angeles recognizes that we

896
00:33:19,850 --> 00:33:23,790
occupy land originally and still inhabited and cared

897
00:33:23,790 --> 00:33:27,770
for by the quiche Tongva Tatavian and Chumash

898
00:33:27,770 --> 00:33:28,270
peoples.

899
00:33:28,570 --> 00:33:30,710
We honor and pay respect to their elders

900
00:33:30,710 --> 00:33:34,690
and descendants past, present, and emerging as they

901
00:33:34,690 --> 00:33:37,990
continue their stewardship of these lands and waters.

902
00:33:37,990 --> 00:33:43,070
We acknowledge that settler colonization resulted in land

903
00:33:43,070 --> 00:33:49,550
seizure, disease, subjugation, slavery, relocation, broken promises, genocide,

904
00:33:50,170 --> 00:33:54,890
multigenerational trauma, disruption of cultural practices, trade, and

905
00:33:54,890 --> 00:33:55,810
tribal relations.

906
00:33:56,270 --> 00:33:59,830
This acknowledgement demonstrates our responsibility and commitment to

907
00:33:59,830 --> 00:34:04,810
truth, healing, and reconciliation and to elevating the

908
00:34:04,810 --> 00:34:08,830
stories, culture, and community of the original inhabitants

909
00:34:08,830 --> 00:34:10,770
of the city of Los Angeles.

910
00:34:11,090 --> 00:34:13,290
We are grateful to have the opportunity to

911
00:34:13,290 --> 00:34:15,810
live and work on these ancestral lands.

912
00:34:16,389 --> 00:34:17,010
Wow.

913
00:34:17,290 --> 00:34:20,070
This is, this is like Obama time.

914
00:34:21,090 --> 00:34:23,370
We've gone back to this acknowledgement.

915
00:34:24,370 --> 00:34:24,989
Yeah.

916
00:34:25,050 --> 00:34:26,949
And here's the DNC, the latest guy that

917
00:34:26,949 --> 00:34:27,790
runs the DNC.

918
00:34:29,150 --> 00:34:31,770
When they introduced, when they opened up a

919
00:34:31,770 --> 00:34:34,690
meeting at the DNC, these Democrats, by the

920
00:34:34,690 --> 00:34:37,610
way, this is what it sounds like.

921
00:34:37,929 --> 00:34:40,510
Good morning, DNC members, friends, and relatives.

922
00:34:40,710 --> 00:34:42,110
Let's talk about the land for a second.

923
00:34:42,270 --> 00:34:45,370
The DNC acknowledges and honors the Dakota Oyate,

924
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:48,130
the Dakota people, who are the original stewards

925
00:34:48,130 --> 00:34:49,730
of the lands and waters of Minneapolis.

926
00:34:50,170 --> 00:34:52,090
Dakota cared for the lands, lakes, and the

927
00:34:52,090 --> 00:34:55,210
Wahpetonka, the Great River, the Mississippi River, for

928
00:34:55,210 --> 00:34:57,090
thousands of years before colonization.

929
00:34:57,090 --> 00:34:59,310
This land was not claimed or traded.

930
00:34:59,650 --> 00:35:00,890
It's a part of a history of broken

931
00:35:00,890 --> 00:35:02,050
treaties and promises.

932
00:35:02,630 --> 00:35:04,550
And in many ways, we still live in

933
00:35:04,550 --> 00:35:07,690
a system built to suppress indigenous peoples' cultural

934
00:35:07,690 --> 00:35:08,930
and spiritual history.

935
00:35:09,150 --> 00:35:11,670
As Democrats, I ask of every one of

936
00:35:11,670 --> 00:35:14,430
you to not allow land acknowledgments like these

937
00:35:14,430 --> 00:35:16,730
to simply be the checking of a box.

938
00:35:17,050 --> 00:35:21,270
Be curious, ask questions, ensure our native neighbors

939
00:35:21,270 --> 00:35:24,410
are heard, and work in partnership with your

940
00:35:24,410 --> 00:35:25,290
indigenous communities.

941
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:28,130
Honor the legacy of this land and its

942
00:35:28,130 --> 00:35:30,890
people by engaging today with each other with

943
00:35:30,890 --> 00:35:34,050
honesty, humility, respect, and compassion.

944
00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:34,810
Yeah.

945
00:35:35,630 --> 00:35:37,990
So much talk, talk, talk.

946
00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:41,310
Here in Fredericksburg, we are actually bringing Comanche

947
00:35:41,310 --> 00:35:42,130
Nation back.

948
00:35:42,430 --> 00:35:43,570
I hadn't told you about this.

949
00:35:44,050 --> 00:35:44,290
No.

950
00:35:44,570 --> 00:35:44,770
Yeah.

951
00:35:44,930 --> 00:35:49,390
Well, the story goes that Fredericksburg had a

952
00:35:49,390 --> 00:35:52,810
treaty with Comanche Nation, the Comanche Treaty of

953
00:35:52,810 --> 00:35:54,890
1847, which we never broke.

954
00:35:55,850 --> 00:35:57,910
I'm not quite sure what the treaty was,

955
00:35:58,270 --> 00:36:00,890
but I've had no flaming arrows.

956
00:36:01,170 --> 00:36:03,090
So I guess it's still in case, in

957
00:36:03,090 --> 00:36:03,650
effect.

958
00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:05,870
So, but we're bringing them back to the

959
00:36:05,870 --> 00:36:09,750
Hill Country for the, actually it was the

960
00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:13,230
Meusebach Comanche Treaty of 1847.

961
00:36:13,370 --> 00:36:16,390
The Meusebach, Meuse is one of the original

962
00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:17,630
founders of Fredericksburg.

963
00:36:17,630 --> 00:36:19,350
And wouldn't you know, we're opening up this

964
00:36:19,350 --> 00:36:23,430
huge retail hotel space.

965
00:36:24,610 --> 00:36:26,810
It's actually not far from our house.

966
00:36:27,170 --> 00:36:28,530
It's on the west side of town, which

967
00:36:28,530 --> 00:36:30,670
is going to do a lot to the

968
00:36:30,670 --> 00:36:31,630
west side of town.

969
00:36:32,230 --> 00:36:33,530
So it's all commercial.

970
00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:35,730
And we're bringing them back in for commercial

971
00:36:35,730 --> 00:36:36,150
stuff.

972
00:36:36,230 --> 00:36:38,850
We're going to do the Frontier Fest at

973
00:36:38,850 --> 00:36:41,510
Fort Scott, Comanche Nation.

974
00:36:41,510 --> 00:36:43,950
You're bringing the Comanches back to add to

975
00:36:43,950 --> 00:36:45,330
the tourist attraction list?

976
00:36:45,350 --> 00:36:46,830
Yes, yes, exactly.

977
00:36:46,830 --> 00:36:49,250
But we're going to pay them.

978
00:36:49,890 --> 00:36:50,470
Whomp them.

979
00:36:50,610 --> 00:36:51,390
They're going to get paid.

980
00:36:51,470 --> 00:36:52,130
It's going to be good.

981
00:36:52,370 --> 00:36:52,850
Pay and whomp them?

982
00:36:52,910 --> 00:36:53,750
Yeah, I think so.

983
00:36:53,890 --> 00:36:54,490
I think so.

984
00:36:55,070 --> 00:36:57,610
Yeah, we're friendly to the Indian, to our

985
00:36:57,610 --> 00:36:58,370
Comanche Nation.

986
00:36:58,750 --> 00:37:00,170
Yeah, let's see how that goes.

987
00:37:00,270 --> 00:37:01,390
So we'll have the, we had the Hill

988
00:37:01,390 --> 00:37:03,250
Country Indian Artifacts Show.

989
00:37:03,450 --> 00:37:04,790
That was just last week.

990
00:37:05,470 --> 00:37:09,150
The Comanche Nation meeting took place earlier this

991
00:37:09,150 --> 00:37:09,390
week.

992
00:37:09,410 --> 00:37:10,470
And then Frontier Fest.

993
00:37:11,310 --> 00:37:13,210
Where, I don't know, I think we'll build

994
00:37:13,210 --> 00:37:14,230
totem poles and stuff.

995
00:37:14,390 --> 00:37:14,570
Yeah.

996
00:37:14,570 --> 00:37:16,470
Well, it's better than this stuff.

997
00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:17,510
Totem poles, not Comanche.

998
00:37:17,830 --> 00:37:19,930
What are totem poles?

999
00:37:20,970 --> 00:37:22,570
All those poles are in the Pacific.

1000
00:37:22,870 --> 00:37:23,430
Haida.

1001
00:37:23,850 --> 00:37:26,250
H-A-I-D-A type Indians up

1002
00:37:26,250 --> 00:37:28,250
in the Pacific Northwest in Canada.

1003
00:37:28,390 --> 00:37:28,730
Oh, really?

1004
00:37:29,570 --> 00:37:29,910
Yeah.

1005
00:37:30,130 --> 00:37:32,250
Oh, I thought all Indians had totem poles.

1006
00:37:32,590 --> 00:37:33,830
No, there's just this group.

1007
00:37:34,590 --> 00:37:36,890
I don't think there's any other outside the

1008
00:37:36,890 --> 00:37:42,670
state of Washington and B.C. All right,

1009
00:37:42,750 --> 00:37:46,590
shifting gears from the First Nations.

1010
00:37:48,130 --> 00:37:51,450
The President had another fabulous Cabinet meeting.

1011
00:37:52,530 --> 00:37:53,710
I don't know if you had a chance

1012
00:37:53,710 --> 00:37:54,630
to see any of it.

1013
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,850
Yeah, I watched it.

1014
00:37:55,970 --> 00:37:57,530
Some of it was, I thought, entertaining.

1015
00:37:57,730 --> 00:38:00,650
I thought our future President Rubio, because, man,

1016
00:38:00,710 --> 00:38:01,190
he's pushing.

1017
00:38:01,430 --> 00:38:02,630
He's pushing for it.

1018
00:38:03,390 --> 00:38:07,690
He did his little mic drop Iran speech.

1019
00:38:07,690 --> 00:38:10,010
The most important job any President has is

1020
00:38:10,010 --> 00:38:11,690
to keep the American people safe.

1021
00:38:11,970 --> 00:38:13,410
And every President says it, but we have

1022
00:38:13,410 --> 00:38:15,010
a President that means it and does something

1023
00:38:15,010 --> 00:38:15,490
about it.

1024
00:38:15,910 --> 00:38:17,930
As the President outlined very clearly to the

1025
00:38:17,930 --> 00:38:20,750
world on the night this operation began, Iran

1026
00:38:20,750 --> 00:38:22,330
has been at war with the United States

1027
00:38:22,330 --> 00:38:24,190
for 47 years.

1028
00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:26,630
For 47 years, Iran has been killing Americans

1029
00:38:26,630 --> 00:38:28,510
and attacking Americans across this planet.

1030
00:38:28,970 --> 00:38:30,510
And now the President's had an opportunity to

1031
00:38:30,510 --> 00:38:31,390
do something about it.

1032
00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:33,130
And they all warned about how Iran was

1033
00:38:33,130 --> 00:38:34,610
dangerous, but they refused to act.

1034
00:38:34,690 --> 00:38:36,150
And this President's not someone that's going to

1035
00:38:36,150 --> 00:38:36,870
refuse to act.

1036
00:38:36,870 --> 00:38:38,770
He's not going to leave a danger like

1037
00:38:38,770 --> 00:38:39,510
this in place.

1038
00:38:39,670 --> 00:38:41,190
He's going to address it, and that is

1039
00:38:41,190 --> 00:38:41,810
what he is doing.

1040
00:38:42,370 --> 00:38:44,050
From the very first night of this operation,

1041
00:38:44,170 --> 00:38:45,390
the President made it very clear.

1042
00:38:46,130 --> 00:38:47,690
People like this, and now what I'm talking

1043
00:38:47,690 --> 00:38:48,810
about is not the people of Iran.

1044
00:38:49,290 --> 00:38:51,310
The people that run this country are radical

1045
00:38:51,310 --> 00:38:52,170
Shia clerics.

1046
00:38:52,270 --> 00:38:53,870
These are religious fanatics.

1047
00:38:54,330 --> 00:38:55,790
Look what they are doing now at their

1048
00:38:55,790 --> 00:38:56,330
weakest point.

1049
00:38:56,590 --> 00:38:58,250
This is the weakest Iran has ever been,

1050
00:38:58,550 --> 00:38:59,450
and look at what they're doing.

1051
00:38:59,770 --> 00:39:01,050
They're attacking embassies.

1052
00:39:01,490 --> 00:39:02,410
They're embassies.

1053
00:39:02,610 --> 00:39:03,790
They're attacking hotels.

1054
00:39:03,790 --> 00:39:06,150
Imagine what these people would do if they

1055
00:39:06,150 --> 00:39:07,010
had a nuclear weapon.

1056
00:39:07,130 --> 00:39:09,610
That is an unacceptable risk for the world.

1057
00:39:10,010 --> 00:39:11,290
By the way, the President's not just doing

1058
00:39:11,290 --> 00:39:12,810
a favor to the United States and to

1059
00:39:12,810 --> 00:39:13,150
our people.

1060
00:39:13,230 --> 00:39:13,370
Favor?

1061
00:39:13,490 --> 00:39:14,470
This is for the world.

1062
00:39:15,130 --> 00:39:17,030
He defined very clearly on the first night

1063
00:39:17,030 --> 00:39:18,550
of this operation what the goal was.

1064
00:39:19,190 --> 00:39:21,270
We were going to destroy Iran's navy, and

1065
00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:21,910
that is happening.

1066
00:39:22,310 --> 00:39:23,870
We were going to, if it hasn't already

1067
00:39:23,870 --> 00:39:25,610
happened, I'll let Pete speak to the specifics

1068
00:39:25,610 --> 00:39:25,970
of it.

1069
00:39:26,110 --> 00:39:28,810
We were going to destroy their missile-launching

1070
00:39:28,810 --> 00:39:29,530
capabilities.

1071
00:39:29,750 --> 00:39:31,310
We're well on our way to achieving that

1072
00:39:31,310 --> 00:39:31,570
goal.

1073
00:39:31,570 --> 00:39:33,390
We were going to destroy the factory so

1074
00:39:33,390 --> 00:39:35,230
they couldn't make more missiles and more drones,

1075
00:39:35,350 --> 00:39:36,610
and that is moving forward.

1076
00:39:36,970 --> 00:39:39,850
Every single objective the President clearly laid out

1077
00:39:39,850 --> 00:39:41,750
on the first night of this operation is

1078
00:39:41,750 --> 00:39:42,590
being effectuated.

1079
00:39:42,790 --> 00:39:44,470
Again, Pete will speak to the specifics of

1080
00:39:44,470 --> 00:39:44,570
it.

1081
00:39:44,870 --> 00:39:46,910
This has been an incredibly successful operation.

1082
00:39:47,290 --> 00:39:47,850
Every day.

1083
00:39:48,030 --> 00:39:49,510
It may not get covered because, you know,

1084
00:39:49,790 --> 00:39:52,830
unlike them, we're not bombing embassies and hotels.

1085
00:39:53,130 --> 00:39:54,350
We're hitting military targets.

1086
00:39:54,650 --> 00:39:56,670
What I like about Rubio and these cabinet

1087
00:39:56,670 --> 00:39:59,150
meetings is he speaks to the press.

1088
00:39:59,630 --> 00:40:01,450
Everyone else is like, oh, Mr. President.

1089
00:40:01,950 --> 00:40:02,950
Oh, under your leadership.

1090
00:40:03,370 --> 00:40:04,490
Oh, Mr. President.

1091
00:40:05,510 --> 00:40:07,110
And Rubio just goes for it.

1092
00:40:07,190 --> 00:40:07,750
He's like, no, no.

1093
00:40:07,870 --> 00:40:09,590
Let me just tell you press people what

1094
00:40:09,590 --> 00:40:10,010
I think.

1095
00:40:10,990 --> 00:40:17,230
So our gay General Patton, Scott Besant, I

1096
00:40:17,230 --> 00:40:18,690
thought he was the most interesting of the

1097
00:40:18,690 --> 00:40:18,930
meeting.

1098
00:40:19,030 --> 00:40:20,310
Did you see any of what he said?

1099
00:40:21,710 --> 00:40:23,030
No, I can't think of anything.

1100
00:40:23,030 --> 00:40:26,750
Well, here's his here's his intro where he

1101
00:40:26,750 --> 00:40:29,510
I think he's saying that my job is

1102
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:33,330
important because economic security and financial security is

1103
00:40:33,330 --> 00:40:34,370
national security.

1104
00:40:34,770 --> 00:40:38,230
Your economic leadership has made our military mission

1105
00:40:38,230 --> 00:40:38,910
possible.

1106
00:40:39,350 --> 00:40:42,670
Mr. President, national security, as you always say,

1107
00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:44,110
is economic security.

1108
00:40:44,590 --> 00:40:47,210
Your leadership has shown the American people that

1109
00:40:47,210 --> 00:40:50,090
there is no prosperity without security.

1110
00:40:50,950 --> 00:40:55,490
Our mighty military on one side, but the

1111
00:40:55,490 --> 00:40:59,730
U.S. economic strength is fighting off this

1112
00:40:59,730 --> 00:41:00,530
evil regime.

1113
00:41:01,070 --> 00:41:03,310
The Iranians believe they are fighting a two

1114
00:41:03,310 --> 00:41:03,890
front war.

1115
00:41:04,390 --> 00:41:07,210
It is the military war that our great

1116
00:41:07,210 --> 00:41:09,290
warriors are prosecuting.

1117
00:41:09,690 --> 00:41:11,730
But on the other side, they are trying

1118
00:41:11,730 --> 00:41:14,230
to take control of the global economy through

1119
00:41:14,230 --> 00:41:17,110
a choke point that we believe does not

1120
00:41:17,110 --> 00:41:19,430
exist and that we will overcome.

1121
00:41:19,430 --> 00:41:23,050
The historic operation at Epic Fury seized a

1122
00:41:23,050 --> 00:41:26,750
generational opportunity to demolish a regime that has

1123
00:41:26,750 --> 00:41:29,770
coordinated over four decades of global terror and

1124
00:41:29,770 --> 00:41:32,050
claimed thousands of American lives.

1125
00:41:32,710 --> 00:41:37,270
Many people, especially the Democrats, underestimate the will

1126
00:41:37,270 --> 00:41:40,170
of the American people for short term volatility

1127
00:41:40,170 --> 00:41:43,010
for 50 years of safety that we are

1128
00:41:43,010 --> 00:41:44,830
going to have on the other side of

1129
00:41:44,830 --> 00:41:45,090
this.

1130
00:41:45,090 --> 00:41:48,950
And I believe energy prices will be lower.

1131
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:51,170
Inflation will be lower.

1132
00:41:51,570 --> 00:41:55,710
Before we had the appearance of security, which

1133
00:41:55,710 --> 00:41:57,250
is not real security.

1134
00:41:57,670 --> 00:42:00,990
Now the American people and the world will

1135
00:42:00,990 --> 00:42:02,790
have absolute security.

1136
00:42:03,350 --> 00:42:04,910
I've been talking to the oil baron a

1137
00:42:04,910 --> 00:42:07,430
lot lately, you know, for obvious reasons, because

1138
00:42:07,430 --> 00:42:08,690
he's right in the middle of this.

1139
00:42:08,690 --> 00:42:16,890
So he bought $77 puts and $115 calls

1140
00:42:16,890 --> 00:42:17,670
on his oil.

1141
00:42:17,950 --> 00:42:19,690
I thought, you know, I'm not quite sure

1142
00:42:19,690 --> 00:42:20,330
what that means.

1143
00:42:20,530 --> 00:42:20,770
It's arbitrage.

1144
00:42:21,090 --> 00:42:21,270
Yeah.

1145
00:42:21,350 --> 00:42:22,590
Oh, it's complete arbitrage.

1146
00:42:22,850 --> 00:42:26,630
But that's his risk spread is, hey, we

1147
00:42:26,630 --> 00:42:29,510
can't lose if it goes below $77 and

1148
00:42:29,510 --> 00:42:31,290
we're not going to win above $115.

1149
00:42:31,290 --> 00:42:34,710
But he too, he says, I am surprised.

1150
00:42:34,730 --> 00:42:36,830
And I thought a Texas oil man would

1151
00:42:36,830 --> 00:42:40,830
know because I'm surprised how impacted the world

1152
00:42:40,830 --> 00:42:46,730
is by the Iranian regime, by the straight.

1153
00:42:47,810 --> 00:42:49,310
I had no idea.

1154
00:42:49,430 --> 00:42:50,010
I'm getting here.

1155
00:42:50,110 --> 00:42:52,970
I'm getting notes from one of our producers.

1156
00:42:53,810 --> 00:42:58,070
Now, somebody in the cabinet or in the

1157
00:42:58,070 --> 00:43:02,610
Department of War or somebody in the CIA

1158
00:43:02,610 --> 00:43:07,950
or somebody, they had to know that this

1159
00:43:07,950 --> 00:43:08,790
was going to happen.

1160
00:43:08,990 --> 00:43:10,710
Oh, they must have known.

1161
00:43:10,970 --> 00:43:11,950
And I think it's.

1162
00:43:12,210 --> 00:43:13,330
I mean, what if they didn't?

1163
00:43:13,330 --> 00:43:16,650
Well, the next clip tells me I think

1164
00:43:16,650 --> 00:43:17,350
they did.

1165
00:43:17,730 --> 00:43:19,370
But it makes a lot more sense now

1166
00:43:19,370 --> 00:43:21,710
that Obama sent hundreds of millions of dollars

1167
00:43:21,710 --> 00:43:24,750
on pallets over to Iran because everyone was

1168
00:43:24,750 --> 00:43:25,610
afraid of this.

1169
00:43:25,870 --> 00:43:27,850
Like, oh, I don't want this on my

1170
00:43:27,850 --> 00:43:28,230
watch.

1171
00:43:28,310 --> 00:43:30,130
I don't want this nonsense happening.

1172
00:43:30,270 --> 00:43:30,690
Maybe.

1173
00:43:31,330 --> 00:43:33,490
But Besant, what he says in this.

1174
00:43:34,410 --> 00:43:37,270
This thing was planned for a long time.

1175
00:43:37,490 --> 00:43:39,750
This could be him saying it after the

1176
00:43:39,750 --> 00:43:41,390
fact, but I'm going to take it at

1177
00:43:41,390 --> 00:43:41,930
face value.

1178
00:43:41,930 --> 00:43:43,970
They were planning this for over a year.

1179
00:43:44,590 --> 00:43:47,370
Through your maximum pressure campaign, Treasury has worked

1180
00:43:47,370 --> 00:43:50,530
to uncover all financial lifelines to the regime

1181
00:43:50,530 --> 00:43:51,850
and cut them off.

1182
00:43:52,190 --> 00:43:54,390
You gave that order last March.

1183
00:43:55,010 --> 00:43:58,170
This was not the this was not something

1184
00:43:58,170 --> 00:43:59,110
that happened overnight.

1185
00:43:59,650 --> 00:44:01,950
This is something that has been contemplated for

1186
00:44:01,950 --> 00:44:02,830
almost a year.

1187
00:44:03,410 --> 00:44:06,510
Their find that the Iranian financial system collapsed

1188
00:44:06,510 --> 00:44:07,410
in December.

1189
00:44:07,410 --> 00:44:11,710
We have systematically weakened Iran's ability to fund

1190
00:44:11,710 --> 00:44:13,690
operations and procure weapons.

1191
00:44:14,530 --> 00:44:16,490
And that required months of preparations.

1192
00:44:17,290 --> 00:44:20,750
Threats to American national security have no place

1193
00:44:20,750 --> 00:44:22,370
in the global economic system.

1194
00:44:22,970 --> 00:44:24,950
The oil market is well supplied.

1195
00:44:25,490 --> 00:44:27,710
We have taken actions to ensure oil supplies

1196
00:44:27,710 --> 00:44:30,190
stranded at sea are made available to the

1197
00:44:30,190 --> 00:44:30,850
global market.

1198
00:44:30,850 --> 00:44:35,350
Your bold actions, like the Development Finance Corporation's

1199
00:44:35,350 --> 00:44:39,510
Maritime Reinsurance Program, in conjunction with Central Command,

1200
00:44:40,070 --> 00:44:42,930
will soon provide shippers through the Gulf region

1201
00:44:42,930 --> 00:44:45,170
with a level of security we had never

1202
00:44:45,170 --> 00:44:45,950
seen before.

1203
00:44:46,510 --> 00:44:49,090
Mr. President, we are starting to see more

1204
00:44:49,090 --> 00:44:50,690
and more movement in and out of the

1205
00:44:50,690 --> 00:44:51,750
Gulf today.

1206
00:44:52,490 --> 00:44:54,070
And this is more than yesterday.

1207
00:44:54,450 --> 00:44:55,810
And this is the beginning.

1208
00:44:55,810 --> 00:44:59,990
I am confident that shipping traffic will continue

1209
00:44:59,990 --> 00:45:03,230
to increase on a daily basis, even before

1210
00:45:03,230 --> 00:45:04,670
we secure the Straits.

1211
00:45:05,590 --> 00:45:07,370
So it sounds like they they were on

1212
00:45:07,370 --> 00:45:10,490
this cutting off their financial lines, making sure

1213
00:45:10,490 --> 00:45:13,550
that they were depleted some of their capabilities

1214
00:45:13,550 --> 00:45:17,530
and then struck once Netanyahu told them to,

1215
00:45:17,630 --> 00:45:17,950
of course.

1216
00:45:20,330 --> 00:45:22,610
So, you know, it sounds like they had

1217
00:45:22,610 --> 00:45:23,370
a plan here.

1218
00:45:23,790 --> 00:45:24,650
Well, I'm sure they did.

1219
00:45:24,650 --> 00:45:26,830
I'm not sure that they expected it to

1220
00:45:26,830 --> 00:45:27,630
go this way.

1221
00:45:27,770 --> 00:45:29,570
I guess Rubio has some comment.

1222
00:45:29,930 --> 00:45:31,550
That's going to last another four weeks.

1223
00:45:32,850 --> 00:45:34,030
Yeah, I think I have that here.

1224
00:45:34,150 --> 00:45:34,390
Hold on.

1225
00:45:34,590 --> 00:45:36,590
John Kennedy also said that why don't we

1226
00:45:36,590 --> 00:45:37,110
just get out?

1227
00:45:37,190 --> 00:45:39,930
We won by approach.

1228
00:45:40,210 --> 00:45:42,870
Where's the where's my Rubio?

1229
00:45:42,930 --> 00:45:43,370
I had another.

1230
00:45:43,810 --> 00:45:44,370
Here we go.

1231
00:45:44,450 --> 00:45:45,530
This was on the tarmac.

1232
00:45:45,630 --> 00:45:46,630
This is not going to be a full

1233
00:45:46,630 --> 00:45:47,110
on conflict.

1234
00:45:48,010 --> 00:45:50,230
The objectives I've outlined to you again, I

1235
00:45:50,230 --> 00:45:52,030
repeat them because I see these reports of

1236
00:45:52,030 --> 00:45:53,790
like other users not clear on what objectives

1237
00:45:53,790 --> 00:45:53,990
are.

1238
00:45:53,990 --> 00:45:55,610
We've been as clear as you can possibly

1239
00:45:55,610 --> 00:45:57,330
be from the very first night of what

1240
00:45:57,330 --> 00:45:58,670
the objectives of this mission are.

1241
00:45:58,930 --> 00:46:00,390
We're going to destroy their factories to make

1242
00:46:00,390 --> 00:46:01,710
missiles and rockets and drones.

1243
00:46:02,050 --> 00:46:03,190
We're going to destroy their Navy.

1244
00:46:03,530 --> 00:46:04,770
We're going to destroy their Air Force.

1245
00:46:05,010 --> 00:46:07,190
And we are going to significantly destroy their

1246
00:46:07,190 --> 00:46:09,430
missile launchers so they can never hide behind

1247
00:46:09,430 --> 00:46:11,190
these things to get a nuclear weapon.

1248
00:46:11,530 --> 00:46:12,210
We can achieve.

1249
00:46:12,310 --> 00:46:13,710
We are achieving all those objectives.

1250
00:46:13,870 --> 00:46:15,410
We are ahead of schedule on most of

1251
00:46:15,410 --> 00:46:17,410
them and we can achieve them without any

1252
00:46:17,410 --> 00:46:18,730
ground troops, without any.

1253
00:46:18,730 --> 00:46:22,330
Now, in terms of why there's deployments, number

1254
00:46:22,330 --> 00:46:25,150
one, the president has to be prepared for

1255
00:46:25,150 --> 00:46:27,190
multiple contingencies, which I'm not going to discuss

1256
00:46:27,190 --> 00:46:27,690
in the media.

1257
00:46:28,150 --> 00:46:29,590
And again, I refer you to the Department

1258
00:46:29,590 --> 00:46:31,230
of War who will probably tell you the

1259
00:46:31,230 --> 00:46:32,090
exact same thing.

1260
00:46:32,330 --> 00:46:34,010
But we can achieve all of our objectives

1261
00:46:34,010 --> 00:46:34,810
with our ground troops.

1262
00:46:35,090 --> 00:46:36,410
But we are always going to be prepared

1263
00:46:36,410 --> 00:46:39,690
to give the president maximum optionality and maximum

1264
00:46:39,690 --> 00:46:43,690
opportunity to adjust to contingencies should they emerge.

1265
00:46:44,710 --> 00:46:45,710
Optionality needs some options.

1266
00:46:45,950 --> 00:46:47,670
So just back to the cabinet meeting for

1267
00:46:47,670 --> 00:46:47,950
a moment.

1268
00:46:47,950 --> 00:46:50,710
So after Besson does his whole thing and

1269
00:46:50,710 --> 00:46:52,610
then he says how great everything here is

1270
00:46:52,610 --> 00:46:54,370
at home, which I think most people who

1271
00:46:54,370 --> 00:46:58,630
are listening would dispute, without a doubt, Europe,

1272
00:46:58,910 --> 00:47:02,310
UK, Asia, I mean, they're talking about going

1273
00:47:02,310 --> 00:47:04,270
back to work from home.

1274
00:47:05,650 --> 00:47:07,310
It's like we got no gas.

1275
00:47:07,490 --> 00:47:09,070
It's going to be the worst since the

1276
00:47:09,070 --> 00:47:09,810
70s.

1277
00:47:10,990 --> 00:47:13,130
Yeah, we're paying more, but I don't think

1278
00:47:13,130 --> 00:47:14,910
we have those types of problems.

1279
00:47:14,910 --> 00:47:17,670
So, no, I'm sure that we can ride

1280
00:47:17,670 --> 00:47:18,630
that out a lot longer.

1281
00:47:18,870 --> 00:47:20,550
So he goes through this whole thing.

1282
00:47:20,570 --> 00:47:22,490
And then here's what the president says.

1283
00:47:22,970 --> 00:47:24,650
I just want to ask you a question.

1284
00:47:25,510 --> 00:47:26,390
Is this guy central?

1285
00:47:28,390 --> 00:47:29,410
I'm looking at him.

1286
00:47:29,550 --> 00:47:30,250
I'm in Treasury.

1287
00:47:30,990 --> 00:47:32,430
He might not be so good for war.

1288
00:47:32,530 --> 00:47:33,290
I don't know.

1289
00:47:33,910 --> 00:47:35,170
No, I'm looking pretty good.

1290
00:47:35,790 --> 00:47:36,890
I'm looking at this guy.

1291
00:47:36,950 --> 00:47:37,910
He's central casting.

1292
00:47:38,070 --> 00:47:39,530
Even the glasses are perfect.

1293
00:47:40,750 --> 00:47:42,430
I think I'm going to get glasses.

1294
00:47:44,610 --> 00:47:45,330
That's beautiful.

1295
00:47:46,430 --> 00:47:47,150
Great job.

1296
00:47:47,350 --> 00:47:48,030
That's really good.

1297
00:47:48,110 --> 00:47:49,050
No, he's done a great job.

1298
00:47:49,290 --> 00:47:51,670
And you all have proud of you all.

1299
00:47:52,110 --> 00:47:52,850
Proud of you all.

1300
00:47:53,010 --> 00:47:53,590
Proud of you all.

1301
00:47:53,690 --> 00:47:55,530
Well, at least it sounds like he has

1302
00:47:55,530 --> 00:47:55,970
a plan.

1303
00:47:56,270 --> 00:47:58,210
It's not written down anywhere on paper that

1304
00:47:58,210 --> 00:47:58,750
we can read.

1305
00:47:59,010 --> 00:48:00,870
But I'm sure it's written down somewhere.

1306
00:48:00,950 --> 00:48:02,310
Why do you think we need to get

1307
00:48:02,310 --> 00:48:03,050
out so quickly?

1308
00:48:03,150 --> 00:48:05,290
I mean, besides the fact that war sucks.

1309
00:48:08,170 --> 00:48:11,230
Well, if we've done it, here's my problem.

1310
00:48:11,750 --> 00:48:13,830
The stuff that Trump says that we've done.

1311
00:48:14,090 --> 00:48:15,810
Which is take out their Navy, the Army,

1312
00:48:15,930 --> 00:48:17,310
their guys, this guy, that guy.

1313
00:48:17,710 --> 00:48:18,610
There's no Air Force.

1314
00:48:18,710 --> 00:48:20,190
There's no command and control.

1315
00:48:20,370 --> 00:48:20,850
There's nothing.

1316
00:48:21,350 --> 00:48:29,010
Has left a vacuum of these IRG renegades.

1317
00:48:29,090 --> 00:48:31,010
I think they're all acting independently.

1318
00:48:31,890 --> 00:48:33,450
And they're all over the place.

1319
00:48:34,670 --> 00:48:36,650
And each one of them might be wanting

1320
00:48:36,650 --> 00:48:38,330
to vie for power at some point.

1321
00:48:38,330 --> 00:48:40,430
And you've got to let this thing settle

1322
00:48:40,430 --> 00:48:40,890
out.

1323
00:48:41,250 --> 00:48:43,350
Otherwise, you're never going to get the streets

1324
00:48:43,350 --> 00:48:43,870
open again.

1325
00:48:43,950 --> 00:48:47,210
Because one nut ball or another or any

1326
00:48:47,210 --> 00:48:48,030
number of them.

1327
00:48:48,430 --> 00:48:51,750
Some place with some of those Shaheed drones,

1328
00:48:51,910 --> 00:48:52,510
for example.

1329
00:48:52,970 --> 00:48:54,790
Can keep the thing shut down forever.

1330
00:48:55,210 --> 00:48:56,930
The problem with the Shaheed drone, which has

1331
00:48:56,930 --> 00:48:58,290
always fascinated me.

1332
00:48:58,590 --> 00:49:00,910
And I don't understand how this happened.

1333
00:49:01,910 --> 00:49:06,010
Those things cost $75,000 to make.

1334
00:49:06,010 --> 00:49:07,490
They have wooden props.

1335
00:49:07,650 --> 00:49:08,510
And they go slow.

1336
00:49:08,750 --> 00:49:10,310
And they get the big bomb in them.

1337
00:49:10,330 --> 00:49:11,130
And they blow stuff up.

1338
00:49:11,250 --> 00:49:12,210
And they're not that great.

1339
00:49:12,430 --> 00:49:15,250
They're basically modern V1s.

1340
00:49:16,690 --> 00:49:17,570
Yeah, kind of.

1341
00:49:19,170 --> 00:49:22,630
With a less advanced propulsion system.

1342
00:49:22,770 --> 00:49:22,910
Yeah.

1343
00:49:23,510 --> 00:49:26,170
And so, the 75, it costs us.

1344
00:49:26,550 --> 00:49:28,110
They shoot them down unless you can get

1345
00:49:28,110 --> 00:49:29,670
a jet up in the air.

1346
00:49:29,810 --> 00:49:30,410
Which is not cheap.

1347
00:49:30,490 --> 00:49:31,690
Yeah, it costs us a million bucks to

1348
00:49:31,690 --> 00:49:32,270
shoot one down.

1349
00:49:32,290 --> 00:49:34,530
Well, $330,000 for a missile.

1350
00:49:35,190 --> 00:49:39,410
So, it costs $300,000 to $75,000.

1351
00:49:40,310 --> 00:49:41,490
I mean, you go broke.

1352
00:49:41,830 --> 00:49:43,530
They have enough of these things.

1353
00:49:44,190 --> 00:49:46,290
So, get out.

1354
00:49:46,530 --> 00:49:47,750
Let things settle down.

1355
00:49:48,050 --> 00:49:49,550
Let the streets get reopened.

1356
00:49:50,010 --> 00:49:51,290
So, people don't freak out.

1357
00:49:51,930 --> 00:49:54,270
And see what happens.

1358
00:49:54,810 --> 00:49:57,010
But that doesn't seem to be the idea.

1359
00:49:57,130 --> 00:49:58,350
The idea seems to be.

1360
00:49:58,350 --> 00:49:58,450
No, no.

1361
00:49:58,490 --> 00:49:59,950
It's definitely not the idea.

1362
00:49:59,950 --> 00:50:01,130
No, the idea seems.

1363
00:50:01,330 --> 00:50:04,530
Take Karg Island and be in control of

1364
00:50:04,530 --> 00:50:04,950
everything.

1365
00:50:05,310 --> 00:50:07,050
And they still want to get rid of

1366
00:50:07,050 --> 00:50:10,530
some of these IRGC guys.

1367
00:50:11,230 --> 00:50:14,190
But here's General Frank McKenzie.

1368
00:50:14,530 --> 00:50:15,130
Retired.

1369
00:50:15,730 --> 00:50:17,870
On with Margaret from this morning.

1370
00:50:18,010 --> 00:50:20,670
One of the things that Iran had been

1371
00:50:20,670 --> 00:50:23,070
waiting to do was activate its militias.

1372
00:50:23,230 --> 00:50:24,910
The militias it supports in Yemen.

1373
00:50:25,050 --> 00:50:25,670
The Houthis.

1374
00:50:25,990 --> 00:50:28,910
Over the weekend, they jumped into the fight.

1375
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:29,530
Yeah.

1376
00:50:29,730 --> 00:50:31,030
We were missing those guys.

1377
00:50:31,370 --> 00:50:32,370
They hadn't shown up.

1378
00:50:32,430 --> 00:50:33,990
And all of a sudden, right on cue.

1379
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:35,530
And fired on Israel.

1380
00:50:35,950 --> 00:50:38,230
Do you think that this is a game

1381
00:50:38,230 --> 00:50:41,090
changer, given that they could not just disrupt

1382
00:50:41,090 --> 00:50:43,830
the Strait of Hormuz, but another passageway through

1383
00:50:43,830 --> 00:50:44,450
the Red Sea?

1384
00:50:46,390 --> 00:50:48,210
Margaret, I don't think it will be a

1385
00:50:48,210 --> 00:50:48,730
game changer.

1386
00:50:49,270 --> 00:50:51,670
Their ability to attack Israel is quite limited.

1387
00:50:52,170 --> 00:50:54,330
Yes, they will have the ability to further

1388
00:50:54,330 --> 00:50:56,930
stop slow traffic through the Bab El Mandeb

1389
00:50:56,930 --> 00:50:58,150
going up into the Suez Canal.

1390
00:50:58,150 --> 00:50:59,770
We have the ability to go down there

1391
00:50:59,770 --> 00:51:00,390
and prevent that.

1392
00:51:00,550 --> 00:51:02,270
It will require additional resources.

1393
00:51:02,490 --> 00:51:04,310
But we have those resources, and we can

1394
00:51:04,310 --> 00:51:05,950
certainly do it if that becomes necessary.

1395
00:51:06,690 --> 00:51:10,050
Well, the president has made clear that he

1396
00:51:10,050 --> 00:51:11,750
needs to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

1397
00:51:11,890 --> 00:51:14,150
His language has been contradictory on some of

1398
00:51:14,150 --> 00:51:15,370
these points as to who's going to do

1399
00:51:15,370 --> 00:51:15,990
it and when.

1400
00:51:16,470 --> 00:51:20,150
What's the military reality of making it passable?

1401
00:51:21,850 --> 00:51:23,590
We're on our way to doing that now,

1402
00:51:23,950 --> 00:51:24,190
Margaret.

1403
00:51:24,290 --> 00:51:26,490
This is part of a plan that's been

1404
00:51:26,490 --> 00:51:27,790
in existence for many years.

1405
00:51:27,790 --> 00:51:30,270
What we're doing right now is we're reducing

1406
00:51:30,270 --> 00:51:32,830
Iranian ability to target ships in the Strait

1407
00:51:32,830 --> 00:51:35,470
through their short-range missiles, their drones, and

1408
00:51:35,470 --> 00:51:36,150
other activities.

1409
00:51:36,650 --> 00:51:39,130
We do that by maintaining air superiority over

1410
00:51:39,130 --> 00:51:41,950
southern Iran on a 24-7 basis, looking

1411
00:51:41,950 --> 00:51:43,810
for where these missiles are and striking them

1412
00:51:43,810 --> 00:51:44,310
relentlessly.

1413
00:51:44,850 --> 00:51:46,590
Once we reduce those to a very low

1414
00:51:46,590 --> 00:51:48,190
level, then you'll be able to go in.

1415
00:51:48,270 --> 00:51:49,670
If necessary, sweep for mines.

1416
00:51:49,770 --> 00:51:51,070
I'm not certain they've put mines in the

1417
00:51:51,070 --> 00:51:51,530
water yet.

1418
00:51:51,930 --> 00:51:53,450
I predict eventually they will.

1419
00:51:53,550 --> 00:51:54,110
It's their nature.

1420
00:51:54,550 --> 00:51:56,370
But we have the ability to do this.

1421
00:51:56,370 --> 00:51:57,970
We're on plan.

1422
00:51:58,210 --> 00:51:59,210
I'll be honest with you, Margaret.

1423
00:51:59,270 --> 00:52:01,650
I've simulated this many years in many positions

1424
00:52:01,650 --> 00:52:02,350
at Central Command.

1425
00:52:02,830 --> 00:52:04,770
We're a little further along than we would

1426
00:52:04,770 --> 00:52:06,430
have expected to be at this point in

1427
00:52:06,430 --> 00:52:07,930
all the simulations that I've seen.

1428
00:52:08,490 --> 00:52:08,890
All right.

1429
00:52:08,950 --> 00:52:10,350
So they were ready for this.

1430
00:52:10,410 --> 00:52:11,390
It's been a plan for years.

1431
00:52:11,390 --> 00:52:13,130
Everybody says we're further along.

1432
00:52:13,310 --> 00:52:15,690
Well, let's go to the next question.

1433
00:52:15,790 --> 00:52:18,010
So the president had posted he's postponed the

1434
00:52:18,010 --> 00:52:20,750
deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz as

1435
00:52:20,750 --> 00:52:23,410
a result of the Iranian government asking for

1436
00:52:23,410 --> 00:52:23,550
it.

1437
00:52:23,550 --> 00:52:25,810
He says he's shifted that to April 6th

1438
00:52:25,810 --> 00:52:29,430
at 8 p.m. We also hear from

1439
00:52:29,430 --> 00:52:32,150
the secretary of state that he's talking to

1440
00:52:32,150 --> 00:52:35,390
the allies about a post-conflict necessity of

1441
00:52:35,390 --> 00:52:39,570
having other countries help to essentially police the

1442
00:52:39,570 --> 00:52:40,130
strait.

1443
00:52:40,910 --> 00:52:43,270
And he said that you will need tankers

1444
00:52:43,270 --> 00:52:45,630
to have military escorts.

1445
00:52:46,470 --> 00:52:48,990
So this doesn't sound like this is a

1446
00:52:48,990 --> 00:52:51,490
short-term project.

1447
00:52:51,490 --> 00:52:54,390
This sounds like even if combat ends, we're

1448
00:52:54,390 --> 00:52:57,990
going to be talking about a military presence

1449
00:52:57,990 --> 00:52:59,690
in the region for some time.

1450
00:52:59,910 --> 00:53:00,450
Am I wrong?

1451
00:53:02,250 --> 00:53:03,690
Margaret, you could be right.

1452
00:53:04,310 --> 00:53:05,410
Let's see what happens.

1453
00:53:05,850 --> 00:53:07,910
I think a negotiated—there are two ways the

1454
00:53:07,910 --> 00:53:09,090
Strait of Hormuz can be opened.

1455
00:53:09,430 --> 00:53:11,090
It can be opened if the Iranians negotiate

1456
00:53:11,090 --> 00:53:12,010
with us to open it.

1457
00:53:12,110 --> 00:53:13,490
And, of course, that's the desired solution.

1458
00:53:13,850 --> 00:53:15,330
The other solution would be if they don't

1459
00:53:15,330 --> 00:53:16,770
and they decide to fight, we can open

1460
00:53:16,770 --> 00:53:18,210
the strait under that condition, too.

1461
00:53:18,210 --> 00:53:20,430
The second condition is obviously a lot more

1462
00:53:20,430 --> 00:53:23,310
intensive in terms of ships and equipment they

1463
00:53:23,310 --> 00:53:24,390
would have to bring into the region.

1464
00:53:24,690 --> 00:53:26,630
And, yes, help from our allies would certainly

1465
00:53:26,630 --> 00:53:29,310
be very useful in that case.

1466
00:53:29,610 --> 00:53:31,310
We have the ability to open the Strait

1467
00:53:31,310 --> 00:53:33,950
of Hormuz under any condition that the Iranians

1468
00:53:33,950 --> 00:53:35,010
choose to exist under.

1469
00:53:36,750 --> 00:53:39,790
Yeah, so we're maybe keeping it artificially closed.

1470
00:53:39,930 --> 00:53:42,150
Final clip is boots on the ground.

1471
00:53:42,250 --> 00:53:43,990
Does it appear to you that one of

1472
00:53:43,990 --> 00:53:46,610
the contingencies that the White House is planning

1473
00:53:46,610 --> 00:53:48,910
for, given that they're continuing to move troops

1474
00:53:48,910 --> 00:53:50,970
into the region, and you have these Marines

1475
00:53:50,970 --> 00:53:53,650
who are moving into the area as well,

1476
00:53:55,150 --> 00:53:59,190
are they preparing for a ground troop presence?

1477
00:53:59,650 --> 00:54:01,590
And what does that look like?

1478
00:54:03,670 --> 00:54:06,810
Margaret, for many years we've considered options along

1479
00:54:06,810 --> 00:54:11,070
the southern coast of Iran, seizing islands, seizing

1480
00:54:11,070 --> 00:54:13,190
small bases, typically raids.

1481
00:54:13,270 --> 00:54:14,990
And a raid is an operation with a

1482
00:54:14,990 --> 00:54:15,770
planned withdrawal.

1483
00:54:15,770 --> 00:54:16,810
You're not going to stay.

1484
00:54:17,250 --> 00:54:18,710
But some of those islands you could seize

1485
00:54:18,710 --> 00:54:19,090
and hold.

1486
00:54:19,270 --> 00:54:20,230
That would have a couple effects.

1487
00:54:20,590 --> 00:54:22,630
First of all, it would be profoundly humiliating

1488
00:54:22,630 --> 00:54:25,010
for Iran and would give us great weight

1489
00:54:25,010 --> 00:54:25,910
in negotiations.

1490
00:54:26,450 --> 00:54:28,350
The second, the example of Karg Island, which

1491
00:54:28,350 --> 00:54:30,750
everyone talks about, if you seize Karg Island,

1492
00:54:30,850 --> 00:54:32,530
you really can shut down the Iranian oil

1493
00:54:32,530 --> 00:54:33,910
economy completely.

1494
00:54:34,310 --> 00:54:35,930
And the beauty of seizing it is you're

1495
00:54:35,930 --> 00:54:36,770
not destroying it.

1496
00:54:36,830 --> 00:54:38,850
You're retaining it for further use by the

1497
00:54:38,850 --> 00:54:42,070
global economy and possibly for return to Iran

1498
00:54:42,070 --> 00:54:43,310
under certain conditions.

1499
00:54:43,310 --> 00:54:45,350
So all of these things, these are not

1500
00:54:45,350 --> 00:54:47,690
back-of-the-envelope calculations.

1501
00:54:48,050 --> 00:54:49,390
These are things we've been working on for

1502
00:54:49,390 --> 00:54:52,030
many years, and I think we're right to

1503
00:54:52,030 --> 00:54:54,250
threaten the entire littoral to hold all these

1504
00:54:54,250 --> 00:54:55,030
options out there.

1505
00:54:55,290 --> 00:54:56,950
And I think the President's message is spot

1506
00:54:56,950 --> 00:54:58,570
on when he talks about all these alternatives.

1507
00:54:59,270 --> 00:55:03,030
So seize and hold is the— That brings

1508
00:55:03,030 --> 00:55:05,610
me to this screwy clip I picked up

1509
00:55:05,610 --> 00:55:07,690
off of a recording done at like 4

1510
00:55:07,690 --> 00:55:10,510
in the morning on one of the networks.

1511
00:55:10,510 --> 00:55:12,310
Was that one of your, oh my God,

1512
00:55:12,350 --> 00:55:13,290
I can't sleep mornings?

1513
00:55:14,470 --> 00:55:16,050
No, it was just running.

1514
00:55:17,030 --> 00:55:20,190
This is a Navy intel guy, and we

1515
00:55:20,190 --> 00:55:23,210
know Navy intelligence is the progenitor of all

1516
00:55:23,210 --> 00:55:23,690
these people.

1517
00:55:23,890 --> 00:55:25,350
Yeah, they typically do podcasts.

1518
00:55:25,850 --> 00:55:27,650
And he's like, yeah, this guy would be

1519
00:55:27,650 --> 00:55:27,910
one of them.

1520
00:55:27,950 --> 00:55:29,390
They're on X and do podcasts.

1521
00:55:29,590 --> 00:55:32,530
And he is X, of course, X Navy

1522
00:55:32,530 --> 00:55:32,990
intel.

1523
00:55:33,890 --> 00:55:35,610
And the funny thing is he's got all

1524
00:55:35,610 --> 00:55:37,430
this up-to-date information for some unknown

1525
00:55:37,430 --> 00:55:38,370
reason, I don't know.

1526
00:55:38,370 --> 00:55:40,590
And I thought this was because this kind

1527
00:55:40,590 --> 00:55:42,450
of ties in with what the other guy

1528
00:55:42,450 --> 00:55:43,010
just said.

1529
00:55:43,270 --> 00:55:46,090
So let's bring in former Naval intelligence officer

1530
00:55:46,090 --> 00:55:47,690
Captain Todd Sawhill.

1531
00:55:48,110 --> 00:55:49,690
Captain, thank you for joining us.

1532
00:55:49,970 --> 00:55:52,390
Help square for us the fact that we

1533
00:55:52,390 --> 00:55:55,350
just heard Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying

1534
00:55:55,350 --> 00:55:57,250
that this is about two to four weeks

1535
00:55:57,250 --> 00:56:00,930
left, but yet reports of 10,000 more

1536
00:56:00,930 --> 00:56:03,330
troops being sent to the region after we

1537
00:56:03,330 --> 00:56:06,150
already know the 82nd Airborne on their way.

1538
00:56:06,150 --> 00:56:09,430
And then, of course, that Marine 31st MEU

1539
00:56:09,430 --> 00:56:10,310
is on its way.

1540
00:56:10,610 --> 00:56:12,270
So I think the movement of the ground

1541
00:56:12,270 --> 00:56:14,750
forces and the enablers and, as you mentioned,

1542
00:56:14,850 --> 00:56:17,050
particularly the Boxer and the Tripoli Amphibious Ready

1543
00:56:17,050 --> 00:56:20,330
Groups and the Marine Expedition Units, plus the

1544
00:56:20,330 --> 00:56:22,750
elements of the 82nd really center around making

1545
00:56:22,750 --> 00:56:24,990
sure the president has maximum options.

1546
00:56:25,510 --> 00:56:26,030
Optionality.

1547
00:56:26,350 --> 00:56:28,990
Ground operations in any part of Iran are

1548
00:56:28,990 --> 00:56:29,450
necessary.

1549
00:56:29,570 --> 00:56:31,690
And before I just list off all the

1550
00:56:31,690 --> 00:56:33,750
key islands, I don't necessarily want to focus

1551
00:56:33,750 --> 00:56:35,470
on that because I don't want to telegraph

1552
00:56:35,470 --> 00:56:37,470
what we may or may not do because,

1553
00:56:37,610 --> 00:56:39,890
really, that's the decision-making level for the

1554
00:56:39,890 --> 00:56:41,130
president and the secretary of defense.

1555
00:56:41,290 --> 00:56:44,990
But beyond holding territory at risk, those forces

1556
00:56:44,990 --> 00:56:47,150
could also be used for internal security in

1557
00:56:47,150 --> 00:56:49,590
and around the bases in the region, as

1558
00:56:49,590 --> 00:56:52,170
well as potentially raids for the nuclear materials

1559
00:56:52,170 --> 00:56:53,830
should the president determine that's the only way

1560
00:56:53,830 --> 00:56:56,510
to retrieve it because we're currently at such

1561
00:56:56,510 --> 00:56:59,250
loggerheads on the conditions for cessation between the

1562
00:56:59,250 --> 00:56:59,870
U.S. and Iran.

1563
00:56:59,870 --> 00:57:03,130
So, ultimately, it's all about options as we

1564
00:57:03,130 --> 00:57:05,690
continue to really set the conditions with rolling

1565
00:57:05,690 --> 00:57:07,770
back the missile, drone, and air-to-ground

1566
00:57:07,770 --> 00:57:09,910
forces that have been significantly degraded over the

1567
00:57:09,910 --> 00:57:10,670
last three weeks.

1568
00:57:10,850 --> 00:57:10,950
Right.

1569
00:57:11,070 --> 00:57:13,770
So that fits in with Rubio's optionality.

1570
00:57:14,090 --> 00:57:14,920
Everything's an optionality.

1571
00:57:15,710 --> 00:57:16,910
So we have options.

1572
00:57:17,350 --> 00:57:19,110
Here's the boots-on-the-ground update from

1573
00:57:19,110 --> 00:57:21,670
our producer in the region, which I thought

1574
00:57:21,670 --> 00:57:22,530
was interesting.

1575
00:57:23,070 --> 00:57:25,570
Wild morning, still alive, been up since 2

1576
00:57:25,570 --> 00:57:27,650
a.m., followed by the most aggressive five

1577
00:57:27,650 --> 00:57:30,730
hours in Bahrain, 20 ballistic missiles and 37

1578
00:57:30,730 --> 00:57:31,250
drones.

1579
00:57:31,950 --> 00:57:34,810
The trend seems that they are aggressively swarming

1580
00:57:34,810 --> 00:57:38,410
the skies to overcome the good interception rates.

1581
00:57:39,170 --> 00:57:40,750
The problem here is that the country is

1582
00:57:40,750 --> 00:57:42,490
just too small for that kind of action.

1583
00:57:42,910 --> 00:57:44,470
The overall size of the whole island is

1584
00:57:44,470 --> 00:57:46,830
the size of San Diego or Austin, and

1585
00:57:46,830 --> 00:57:48,570
the economy is too small for such a

1586
00:57:48,570 --> 00:57:48,750
beating.

1587
00:57:48,750 --> 00:57:51,650
Each interception is a Patriot missile, which he

1588
00:57:51,650 --> 00:57:52,930
says costs a couple million.

1589
00:57:53,730 --> 00:57:55,290
We are still trying our best to build

1590
00:57:55,290 --> 00:57:57,150
a tourism economy, and that is really hurting

1591
00:57:57,150 --> 00:57:58,070
our strained economy.

1592
00:57:58,210 --> 00:58:01,330
So our good friend Netanyahu decided to aggressively

1593
00:58:01,330 --> 00:58:04,110
bomb three steel plants across Iran.

1594
00:58:04,310 --> 00:58:07,690
For some reason, unlike all other targets, Israeli

1595
00:58:07,690 --> 00:58:11,010
press explicitly stated steel plants were hit, although

1596
00:58:11,010 --> 00:58:13,170
they don't usually reveal this type of target

1597
00:58:13,170 --> 00:58:13,930
in most cases.

1598
00:58:13,930 --> 00:58:17,370
In return, our good neighbors, Iran, decided to

1599
00:58:17,370 --> 00:58:19,970
attack five steel and aluminum plants in the

1600
00:58:19,970 --> 00:58:23,310
GCC, stating to punish the enemy for attacking

1601
00:58:23,310 --> 00:58:24,410
civilian infrastructure.

1602
00:58:25,170 --> 00:58:27,190
The guy was crazy enough to bomb near

1603
00:58:27,190 --> 00:58:31,310
Bushehr Nuclear Facility, an active nuclear power plant

1604
00:58:31,310 --> 00:58:33,690
which triggered an alarmed response from the whole

1605
00:58:33,690 --> 00:58:37,190
region on potential nuclear meltdown, and Putin himself,

1606
00:58:37,590 --> 00:58:39,570
as the plant is operated by Russia's state

1607
00:58:39,570 --> 00:58:42,390
atomic energy corporation, Rosatom.

1608
00:58:42,390 --> 00:58:44,530
The U.S. seems to be building a

1609
00:58:44,530 --> 00:58:46,470
massive set of ground troops as a deterrent

1610
00:58:46,470 --> 00:58:49,390
to push the negotiation under extreme pressure, and

1611
00:58:49,390 --> 00:58:51,330
the Israelis are trying every possible way to

1612
00:58:51,330 --> 00:58:53,370
expand and complicate the conflict.

1613
00:58:54,110 --> 00:58:56,750
A ground invasion is nearly impossible, taking away

1614
00:58:56,750 --> 00:58:59,090
islands within the effective shooting range of Iran

1615
00:58:59,090 --> 00:59:01,750
may result in high casualties among the best

1616
00:59:01,750 --> 00:59:03,510
marine units the U.S. has to offer.

1617
00:59:04,070 --> 00:59:06,290
Let's hope Trump can retain him further because

1618
00:59:06,290 --> 00:59:08,070
he causes a bigger mess, he's talking about

1619
00:59:08,070 --> 00:59:11,170
Netanyahu, and maybe manage to get J.D.

1620
00:59:11,250 --> 00:59:13,850
to the front to build his peacemaker legacy

1621
00:59:13,850 --> 00:59:15,950
and secure the GOP vote for the next

1622
00:59:15,950 --> 00:59:16,790
10 years.

1623
00:59:17,870 --> 00:59:19,850
So that's how they're thinking in the region,

1624
00:59:20,230 --> 00:59:23,370
which sounds about right.

1625
00:59:23,850 --> 00:59:24,370
Sounds about right.

1626
00:59:25,290 --> 00:59:30,030
So we had CPAC, which this is the

1627
00:59:30,030 --> 00:59:32,710
first time President Trump has not attended CPAC

1628
00:59:32,710 --> 00:59:37,430
due to the war and other things.

1629
00:59:37,430 --> 00:59:38,010
He's busy.

1630
00:59:39,290 --> 00:59:41,670
But they had some interesting speakers.

1631
00:59:42,590 --> 00:59:46,210
Reverend Franklin Graham came out, pretty unimpressive speech.

1632
00:59:46,270 --> 00:59:49,250
I didn't pull any clips from it, mainly

1633
00:59:49,250 --> 00:59:51,150
because he started off with, you know, Iran,

1634
00:59:51,510 --> 00:59:53,730
we had a weak president, Jimmy Carter, and

1635
00:59:53,730 --> 00:59:55,410
they had our people in the embassy for

1636
00:59:55,410 --> 00:59:56,250
400 days.

1637
00:59:56,330 --> 00:59:59,330
And the minute President Reagan came in, they

1638
00:59:59,330 --> 01:00:01,070
let them all out because they were afraid

1639
01:00:01,070 --> 01:00:01,530
of him.

1640
01:00:01,590 --> 01:00:03,790
I'm like, no, I don't think so, Rev.

1641
01:00:03,790 --> 01:00:06,030
I don't think so, Reverend.

1642
01:00:06,550 --> 01:00:08,830
That was a different deal at the time.

1643
01:00:09,630 --> 01:00:13,510
But also invited was the crown prince, Reza

1644
01:00:13,510 --> 01:00:20,010
Pahlavi, which, I don't know, well, it seemed

1645
01:00:20,010 --> 01:00:23,330
like CPAC was almost the conservative Persian action

1646
01:00:23,330 --> 01:00:28,790
Congress, or whatever they call it, convention, because

1647
01:00:28,790 --> 01:00:31,150
the Persians came out like crazy for this

1648
01:00:31,150 --> 01:00:31,450
guy.

1649
01:00:31,450 --> 01:00:33,470
The only thing that the remnants of this

1650
01:00:33,470 --> 01:00:35,730
regime can be relied on to do is

1651
01:00:35,730 --> 01:00:38,790
to buy time, to cheat, and to steal.

1652
01:00:39,770 --> 01:00:42,010
They will never be honest or true partners

1653
01:00:42,010 --> 01:00:42,670
for peace.

1654
01:00:43,850 --> 01:00:46,590
President Trump was right when he said, we

1655
01:00:46,590 --> 01:00:48,530
don't want to come back every two years.

1656
01:00:49,670 --> 01:00:51,670
But if a faction of the regime is

1657
01:00:51,670 --> 01:00:54,330
left in power, that is exactly what will

1658
01:00:54,330 --> 01:00:54,670
happen.

1659
01:00:54,670 --> 01:00:56,270
It will buy time.

1660
01:00:56,950 --> 01:00:58,330
It will pretend to negotiate.

1661
01:00:59,090 --> 01:01:01,310
And then it will return to its old

1662
01:01:01,310 --> 01:01:05,710
jihadist ways of threatening America, its security, and

1663
01:01:05,710 --> 01:01:06,450
its interests.

1664
01:01:11,780 --> 01:01:14,440
They might promise a short period of artificial

1665
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,820
calm, but it would inevitably be followed by

1666
01:01:17,820 --> 01:01:21,600
the same terrorism, the same nuclear blackmail, and

1667
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,680
the same cries of death to America.

1668
01:01:24,650 --> 01:01:26,860
Because the truth is simple.

1669
01:01:27,780 --> 01:01:31,460
The Islamic Republic cannot reform itself.

1670
01:01:35,670 --> 01:01:39,290
You cannot reform a snake.

1671
01:01:39,870 --> 01:01:41,870
Venom is in its DNA.

1672
01:01:46,330 --> 01:01:50,030
This extends to the corrupt and brutal thugs

1673
01:01:50,030 --> 01:01:51,630
of the IRGC.

1674
01:01:52,390 --> 01:01:55,950
Because the IRGC is not Iran's national army.

1675
01:01:55,950 --> 01:01:58,990
Indeed, it does not even have the word

1676
01:01:58,990 --> 01:02:00,210
Iran in its name.

1677
01:02:00,950 --> 01:02:03,350
It is the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps.

1678
01:02:04,290 --> 01:02:07,190
It serves its own poisonous ideology of terror

1679
01:02:07,190 --> 01:02:09,730
and not Iran's national interests.

1680
01:02:10,030 --> 01:02:12,890
So it can certainly never be a partner

1681
01:02:12,890 --> 01:02:14,990
to serve America's interests.

1682
01:02:15,550 --> 01:02:18,010
So I cut all of those applauses.

1683
01:02:18,270 --> 01:02:19,470
I had to cut out 15 seconds.

1684
01:02:19,470 --> 01:02:20,370
Oh, I'm sure they went on forever.

1685
01:02:20,930 --> 01:02:22,610
And then they started chanting.

1686
01:02:22,610 --> 01:02:23,450
Thank you.

1687
01:02:28,210 --> 01:02:30,950
Thank you so much.

1688
01:02:31,090 --> 01:02:32,910
Thank you so much.

1689
01:02:34,230 --> 01:02:35,810
I have four minutes left.

1690
01:02:35,890 --> 01:02:37,090
I'm halfway through my speech.

1691
01:02:38,470 --> 01:02:39,370
I'll tell you.

1692
01:02:39,810 --> 01:02:40,210
Huh?

1693
01:02:40,790 --> 01:02:43,230
You know, when I was a student at

1694
01:02:43,230 --> 01:02:47,870
Berkeley, it's the same Iranian students who promoted

1695
01:02:47,870 --> 01:02:50,510
the getting rid of the Shah, the Shah

1696
01:02:50,510 --> 01:02:51,070
must go.

1697
01:02:51,350 --> 01:02:51,570
Yeah.

1698
01:02:51,570 --> 01:02:55,750
It was the American Persians that pretty much

1699
01:02:55,750 --> 01:02:59,190
created this monstrosity that they're stuck with.

1700
01:02:59,610 --> 01:03:02,050
And now this, you know, these kids, these

1701
01:03:02,050 --> 01:03:04,750
kids, they just don't get it right.

1702
01:03:04,750 --> 01:03:05,750
I don't know if they're going to get

1703
01:03:05,750 --> 01:03:06,370
it right ever.

1704
01:03:06,530 --> 01:03:07,150
You're saying it wrong.

1705
01:03:07,290 --> 01:03:08,310
These kids.

1706
01:03:08,730 --> 01:03:09,110
These kids.

1707
01:03:09,110 --> 01:03:10,070
I can't quite do it.

1708
01:03:10,690 --> 01:03:11,510
These kids.

1709
01:03:12,950 --> 01:03:14,830
So I'll just finish up with him.

1710
01:03:14,910 --> 01:03:17,130
30 seconds of President Trump rocks.

1711
01:03:17,130 --> 01:03:19,630
The only path to lasting peace and stability

1712
01:03:19,630 --> 01:03:22,250
runs through a clean break with this regime.

1713
01:03:23,010 --> 01:03:26,110
For the first time in 47 years, President

1714
01:03:26,110 --> 01:03:28,610
Trump's strategy has given us a real chance

1715
01:03:28,610 --> 01:03:30,330
to achieve that outcome.

1716
01:03:31,050 --> 01:03:34,910
For decades, every American president since Jimmy Carter

1717
01:03:34,910 --> 01:03:37,670
chose to try to manage this looming threat

1718
01:03:37,670 --> 01:03:39,350
rather than resolve it.

1719
01:03:39,990 --> 01:03:41,870
Each of them has failed.

1720
01:03:42,590 --> 01:03:44,510
They have only made the problem worse.

1721
01:03:44,510 --> 01:03:47,890
The result has been more dead Iranians and

1722
01:03:47,890 --> 01:03:48,990
more dead Americans.

1723
01:03:49,970 --> 01:03:53,110
So the mullahs operated on the assumption that

1724
01:03:53,110 --> 01:03:55,850
America didn't have the stomach to confront them

1725
01:03:55,850 --> 01:03:56,690
decisively.

1726
01:03:57,290 --> 01:04:01,770
That assumption began to collapse when President Trump

1727
01:04:01,770 --> 01:04:04,090
ordered the strike on Qassem Soleimani.

1728
01:04:05,010 --> 01:04:05,770
Yeah.

1729
01:04:06,130 --> 01:04:08,390
So plan or no plan.

1730
01:04:08,770 --> 01:04:10,570
Well, you know, Carter didn't have the stomach

1731
01:04:10,570 --> 01:04:11,290
to stop it.

1732
01:04:11,290 --> 01:04:12,330
Stop it.

1733
01:04:12,690 --> 01:04:14,530
Reagan didn't have the stomach.

1734
01:04:14,630 --> 01:04:16,450
Once after the barracks were blowed up, he

1735
01:04:16,450 --> 01:04:17,010
took off.

1736
01:04:18,110 --> 01:04:20,370
Nobody wanted to do anything about this.

1737
01:04:21,130 --> 01:04:21,650
Yes.

1738
01:04:22,110 --> 01:04:25,670
And then we had Bush.

1739
01:04:25,690 --> 01:04:29,070
He was too busy protecting his oil fields

1740
01:04:29,070 --> 01:04:33,430
in Iraq or daddy's oil fields in Kuwait.

1741
01:04:35,790 --> 01:04:38,610
And Obama went, let me just hang out

1742
01:04:38,610 --> 01:04:40,230
with the Muslim Brotherhood and I'll pay you

1743
01:04:40,230 --> 01:04:40,530
guys.

1744
01:04:40,530 --> 01:04:41,810
Yeah, I'll pay you guys off.

1745
01:04:41,930 --> 01:04:44,610
And yeah, calm down here.

1746
01:04:44,750 --> 01:04:47,210
And so Trump, this is his legacy move.

1747
01:04:48,750 --> 01:04:50,290
That seems clear.

1748
01:04:50,630 --> 01:04:52,690
And well, I hope he pulls it off.

1749
01:04:53,050 --> 01:04:55,770
It's war is not not my favorite thing.

1750
01:04:57,630 --> 01:04:58,770
Well, we'll see.

1751
01:04:58,970 --> 01:05:01,510
Anyway, he goes, I think I have a

1752
01:05:01,510 --> 01:05:02,550
clip about some of this.

1753
01:05:05,530 --> 01:05:07,970
Where's my analysis clips?

1754
01:05:09,010 --> 01:05:10,690
You're back to full strength.

1755
01:05:10,870 --> 01:05:12,170
You're you're titling them anal.

1756
01:05:12,390 --> 01:05:13,810
So you must be on the mend.

1757
01:05:14,690 --> 01:05:14,850
What?

1758
01:05:14,990 --> 01:05:16,910
Oh, that means analysis.

1759
01:05:17,250 --> 01:05:17,770
I know.

1760
01:05:18,610 --> 01:05:19,030
No.

1761
01:05:20,530 --> 01:05:21,610
Yes, I'm aware.

1762
01:05:22,230 --> 01:05:22,670
I've been around.

1763
01:05:23,050 --> 01:05:24,530
Well, there's one about the we might as

1764
01:05:24,530 --> 01:05:26,050
well bring the Lebanese stuff in and then

1765
01:05:26,050 --> 01:05:27,870
we can look for the other one.

1766
01:05:29,050 --> 01:05:29,470
Lebanese.

1767
01:05:29,470 --> 01:05:31,090
Lebanese vicinity stuff.

1768
01:05:31,230 --> 01:05:33,370
This is a overview of what the Israelis

1769
01:05:33,370 --> 01:05:35,290
are doing where we're trying to take over

1770
01:05:35,290 --> 01:05:35,750
Iran.

1771
01:05:35,750 --> 01:05:38,690
Connected to this is fighting that's happening in

1772
01:05:38,690 --> 01:05:38,990
Lebanon.

1773
01:05:39,390 --> 01:05:41,310
That's where Israel has launched an invasion of

1774
01:05:41,310 --> 01:05:42,450
the south of the country.

1775
01:05:42,750 --> 01:05:46,150
And Iran backed Hezbollah has been firing back.

1776
01:05:46,270 --> 01:05:48,270
Can you just update us on what's happening

1777
01:05:48,270 --> 01:05:48,530
there?

1778
01:05:49,050 --> 01:05:49,490
Absolutely.

1779
01:05:49,830 --> 01:05:52,210
There have been more than a million Lebanese

1780
01:05:52,210 --> 01:05:54,190
displaced, and that's like 20 percent of the

1781
01:05:54,190 --> 01:05:58,910
population as Israel depopulates entire towns and Beirut's

1782
01:05:58,910 --> 01:06:00,490
huge southern suburbs.

1783
01:06:00,490 --> 01:06:03,230
And the impact of that invasion and the

1784
01:06:03,230 --> 01:06:06,690
fighting between Israel and Hezbollah is becoming increasingly

1785
01:06:06,690 --> 01:06:08,370
dangerous to document.

1786
01:06:09,270 --> 01:06:12,050
Israel today killed three journalists in an airstrike

1787
01:06:12,050 --> 01:06:12,850
on their vehicle.

1788
01:06:13,530 --> 01:06:15,690
One of them was a correspondent for Hezbollah's

1789
01:06:15,690 --> 01:06:17,950
television channel who has been reporting from the

1790
01:06:17,950 --> 01:06:20,230
south for almost 30 years.

1791
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:24,090
Israel claimed without evidence, claimed without evidence, claimed

1792
01:06:24,090 --> 01:06:24,970
without evidence.

1793
01:06:25,210 --> 01:06:27,470
He was a Hezbollah operative, in fact, a

1794
01:06:27,470 --> 01:06:29,150
member of one of their elite forces.

1795
01:06:29,150 --> 01:06:33,090
But the actions that Israel described, identifying where

1796
01:06:33,090 --> 01:06:37,050
Israeli forces were and contacts with Hezbollah, are

1797
01:06:37,050 --> 01:06:40,230
actually normal journalistic practices.

1798
01:06:40,750 --> 01:06:42,950
Israel didn't comment on the other two journalists

1799
01:06:42,950 --> 01:06:43,890
killed with him.

1800
01:06:44,470 --> 01:06:46,250
We've talked so far about the latest developments

1801
01:06:46,250 --> 01:06:49,910
in this now month-long war, but are

1802
01:06:49,910 --> 01:06:53,050
there other repercussions worth pointing to right now

1803
01:06:53,050 --> 01:06:54,350
for other countries?

1804
01:06:54,350 --> 01:06:55,190
Absolutely.

1805
01:06:55,690 --> 01:06:58,310
This war is so different because it's really

1806
01:06:58,310 --> 01:07:00,510
difficult to find any country untouched by this

1807
01:07:00,510 --> 01:07:01,030
in the region.

1808
01:07:01,270 --> 01:07:02,810
You know, one of the effects is that

1809
01:07:02,810 --> 01:07:04,830
some of the busiest airports in the region

1810
01:07:04,830 --> 01:07:06,670
have shut down, leaving people stranded.

1811
01:07:07,370 --> 01:07:10,750
Israel has restricted outgoing flights, and this week

1812
01:07:10,750 --> 01:07:12,670
the U.S. Embassy in Israel announced it

1813
01:07:12,670 --> 01:07:16,310
was arranging buses from Israel to the Amman

1814
01:07:16,310 --> 01:07:18,930
airport in Jordan to fly people out of

1815
01:07:18,930 --> 01:07:19,290
here.

1816
01:07:20,010 --> 01:07:22,630
Kuwait announced that its airport radar had been

1817
01:07:22,630 --> 01:07:23,130
damaged.

1818
01:07:23,130 --> 01:07:25,890
Its airport has been closed for almost a

1819
01:07:25,890 --> 01:07:26,110
month.

1820
01:07:26,490 --> 01:07:32,610
I love how she portrays the beautiful suburbs

1821
01:07:32,610 --> 01:07:33,990
of southern Lebanon.

1822
01:07:34,910 --> 01:07:37,250
Lebanon has been a mess since I was

1823
01:07:37,250 --> 01:07:37,690
a kid.

1824
01:07:39,130 --> 01:07:41,390
At one time it was the Paris of

1825
01:07:41,390 --> 01:07:42,230
the Middle East.

1826
01:07:42,330 --> 01:07:45,450
Yeah, in the 60s, late 60s.

1827
01:07:46,510 --> 01:07:48,050
Probably late 60s.

1828
01:07:49,550 --> 01:07:51,530
Iran was cool then too.

1829
01:07:52,230 --> 01:07:53,330
Here's the clips.

1830
01:07:53,830 --> 01:07:57,470
This is the Iran Houthis update in PR.

1831
01:07:58,770 --> 01:08:01,490
Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have entered

1832
01:08:01,490 --> 01:08:03,890
the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, firing a

1833
01:08:03,890 --> 01:08:06,540
missile at Israel, which Israel says was intercepted.

1834
01:08:07,330 --> 01:08:09,390
It's the first time Israel faced fire from

1835
01:08:09,390 --> 01:08:11,550
that country since the war began, and it

1836
01:08:11,550 --> 01:08:12,930
opens a new front in the two-month

1837
01:08:12,930 --> 01:08:13,670
-old conflict.

1838
01:08:14,130 --> 01:08:16,850
Meanwhile, the Pentagon says around 3,500 sailors

1839
01:08:16,850 --> 01:08:19,229
and Marines have arrived in the Middle East.

1840
01:08:19,229 --> 01:08:21,130
Imperial Chandelier Duster has more.

1841
01:08:21,430 --> 01:08:23,590
U.S. Central Command said Saturday in a

1842
01:08:23,590 --> 01:08:26,790
social media post that about 3,500 sailors

1843
01:08:26,790 --> 01:08:28,970
and Marines arrived in the Middle East aboard

1844
01:08:28,970 --> 01:08:30,210
the USS Tripoli.

1845
01:08:30,870 --> 01:08:33,930
The 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, based in Okinawa,

1846
01:08:34,029 --> 01:08:36,450
Japan, arrived in the Middle East on Friday,

1847
01:08:36,630 --> 01:08:37,390
the post said.

1848
01:08:37,830 --> 01:08:40,270
The unit also has transport and strike fighter

1849
01:08:40,270 --> 01:08:42,990
aircraft, as well as amphibious assault and tactical

1850
01:08:42,990 --> 01:08:43,670
assets.

1851
01:08:44,229 --> 01:08:46,290
U.S. Central Command did not say what

1852
01:08:46,290 --> 01:08:48,069
mission the unit will be carrying out.

1853
01:08:48,069 --> 01:08:50,850
At least 2,000 additional soldiers have been

1854
01:08:50,850 --> 01:08:53,149
ordered to deploy to the Middle East, where

1855
01:08:53,149 --> 01:08:55,490
the U.S. already has 40,000 to

1856
01:08:55,490 --> 01:08:56,630
50,000 troops.

1857
01:08:57,710 --> 01:08:59,229
People always leave out the fact that you

1858
01:08:59,229 --> 01:09:01,210
already have 50,000 troops there.

1859
01:09:01,290 --> 01:09:01,649
Oh, yeah.

1860
01:09:02,149 --> 01:09:03,010
Scattered around.

1861
01:09:03,689 --> 01:09:03,930
Yeah.

1862
01:09:05,590 --> 01:09:07,550
So here's the analysis.

1863
01:09:08,090 --> 01:09:10,050
We're joined by NPR's Jane Araf, who's following

1864
01:09:10,050 --> 01:09:11,430
events from Amman, Jordan.

1865
01:09:12,270 --> 01:09:13,550
Jane, thanks for taking the time.

1866
01:09:13,910 --> 01:09:14,410
Thank you.

1867
01:09:14,410 --> 01:09:17,149
Can you start with telling us what happened

1868
01:09:17,149 --> 01:09:17,729
in Saudi Arabia?

1869
01:09:17,990 --> 01:09:19,750
Well, this was an attack on the Prince

1870
01:09:19,750 --> 01:09:21,090
Sultan Air Base.

1871
01:09:21,229 --> 01:09:23,529
And that's a Saudi base, but it's also

1872
01:09:23,529 --> 01:09:27,109
a regional U.S. military hub that focuses

1873
01:09:27,109 --> 01:09:30,649
on aerial refueling and missile defense systems.

1874
01:09:31,310 --> 01:09:34,149
At least six missiles and more than two

1875
01:09:34,149 --> 01:09:37,670
dozen drones were fired by Iran, according to

1876
01:09:37,670 --> 01:09:39,630
U.S. officials who requested anonymity.

1877
01:09:39,630 --> 01:09:43,470
And military experts are calling it a serious

1878
01:09:43,470 --> 01:09:45,670
breach of U.S. air defenses.

1879
01:09:46,210 --> 01:09:49,210
Several of those wounded service people were reported

1880
01:09:49,210 --> 01:09:50,649
to be seriously wounded.

1881
01:09:51,130 --> 01:09:54,050
The attacks also damaged refueling tankers.

1882
01:09:54,290 --> 01:09:58,370
Iran released Chinese satellite images that appear to

1883
01:09:58,370 --> 01:10:00,870
show burning aircraft, and it said it had

1884
01:10:00,870 --> 01:10:03,090
destroyed two of the airborne tankers.

1885
01:10:03,230 --> 01:10:05,850
They refueled fighter jets in the air and

1886
01:10:05,850 --> 01:10:06,710
damaged others.

1887
01:10:06,710 --> 01:10:10,850
That's after Israel struck three Iranian steel plants

1888
01:10:10,850 --> 01:10:12,370
and a nuclear facility.

1889
01:10:13,050 --> 01:10:15,950
The International Nuclear Watchdog said there was no

1890
01:10:15,950 --> 01:10:18,450
risk of radiation leak from that strike.

1891
01:10:20,030 --> 01:10:20,590
Yeah.

1892
01:10:21,030 --> 01:10:22,310
There's a lot of action.

1893
01:10:22,550 --> 01:10:23,870
There's definitely a lot of action.

1894
01:10:24,070 --> 01:10:27,750
The GCC, the Gulf, is it the Gulf

1895
01:10:27,750 --> 01:10:28,290
Commonwealth?

1896
01:10:28,530 --> 01:10:29,770
What do they call that, GCC?

1897
01:10:30,290 --> 01:10:30,910
I'm not sure.

1898
01:10:31,510 --> 01:10:33,710
GCC, well, they call them the GCC states.

1899
01:10:33,710 --> 01:10:38,830
So, they have also filed with United Nations,

1900
01:10:38,990 --> 01:10:42,490
just like the U.S. did, under Article

1901
01:10:42,490 --> 01:10:46,350
51, saying, hey, we are reaffirming our full

1902
01:10:46,350 --> 01:10:49,970
and inherent right to self-defense, and we're

1903
01:10:49,970 --> 01:10:51,170
going to start striking back.

1904
01:10:51,230 --> 01:10:52,710
So, it looks like we've got them on

1905
01:10:52,710 --> 01:10:53,410
our side.

1906
01:10:54,190 --> 01:10:56,450
Although, I still get a lot of military

1907
01:10:56,450 --> 01:10:59,710
commentary saying, no, everyone hates us.

1908
01:11:00,090 --> 01:11:01,570
They want us out of our bases.

1909
01:11:01,990 --> 01:11:02,790
I don't know.

1910
01:11:03,710 --> 01:11:04,710
You're right, a lot of action.

1911
01:11:04,850 --> 01:11:05,970
We don't actually know anything.

1912
01:11:06,150 --> 01:11:07,790
Breaking news, nobody knows nothing.

1913
01:11:08,590 --> 01:11:08,690
Right.

1914
01:11:09,530 --> 01:11:13,950
So, President Trump had a Saudi investor summit,

1915
01:11:15,730 --> 01:11:20,350
which is all money coming into America, and

1916
01:11:20,350 --> 01:11:22,930
he had some interesting commentary.

1917
01:11:23,490 --> 01:11:24,610
They are negotiating.

1918
01:11:24,830 --> 01:11:26,110
They're begging to make a deal.

1919
01:11:26,250 --> 01:11:27,430
They're begging to make a deal.

1920
01:11:27,690 --> 01:11:28,590
It turned out I was right.

1921
01:11:28,590 --> 01:11:30,890
They were negotiating, which they admitted two days

1922
01:11:30,890 --> 01:11:31,230
later.

1923
01:11:31,610 --> 01:11:34,310
And in order to make up for their

1924
01:11:34,310 --> 01:11:36,930
misstatement, they said, we're going to send you

1925
01:11:36,930 --> 01:11:38,350
eight ships of oil.

1926
01:11:38,530 --> 01:11:40,590
And the following day, I saw on, this

1927
01:11:40,590 --> 01:11:41,990
is two days ago, I saw on one

1928
01:11:41,990 --> 01:11:42,770
of the networks.

1929
01:11:43,070 --> 01:11:43,930
Very strange.

1930
01:11:44,250 --> 01:11:46,470
There were eight ships of oil coming out

1931
01:11:46,470 --> 01:11:47,030
of Iran.

1932
01:11:47,410 --> 01:11:48,890
And then they actually said, we're going to

1933
01:11:48,890 --> 01:11:49,950
add an extra two.

1934
01:11:50,030 --> 01:11:51,610
And they added an extra two.

1935
01:11:51,690 --> 01:11:52,610
So, we had ten ships.

1936
01:11:52,770 --> 01:11:54,990
And then people realized we were actually negotiating.

1937
01:11:54,990 --> 01:11:56,310
We're negotiating now.

1938
01:11:56,430 --> 01:11:57,370
And it would be great if we could

1939
01:11:57,370 --> 01:11:57,990
do something.

1940
01:11:58,150 --> 01:11:59,250
But they have to open it up.

1941
01:11:59,310 --> 01:12:02,650
They have to open up the Strait of

1942
01:12:02,650 --> 01:12:02,970
Trump.

1943
01:12:03,170 --> 01:12:04,550
I mean, Hormuz.

1944
01:12:07,410 --> 01:12:08,090
Excuse me.

1945
01:12:09,070 --> 01:12:10,150
I'm so sorry.

1946
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:12,370
Such a terrible mistake.

1947
01:12:12,510 --> 01:12:14,650
The fake news will say, he accidentally said.

1948
01:12:15,010 --> 01:12:16,550
There's no accidents with me.

1949
01:12:16,650 --> 01:12:17,270
Not too many.

1950
01:12:18,850 --> 01:12:20,810
If there were, we'd have a major story.

1951
01:12:21,150 --> 01:12:22,830
Well, we had that with the Gulf of

1952
01:12:22,830 --> 01:12:23,030
Mexico.

1953
01:12:23,030 --> 01:12:25,050
Remember the Gulf of Mexico?

1954
01:12:25,310 --> 01:12:26,650
And then he goes into this whole Gulf

1955
01:12:26,650 --> 01:12:28,070
of America thing.

1956
01:12:28,750 --> 01:12:29,770
The Strait of Trump.

1957
01:12:30,690 --> 01:12:31,050
Okay.

1958
01:12:32,450 --> 01:12:38,450
By the way, there's no evidence that there

1959
01:12:38,450 --> 01:12:41,050
was any eight to ten ships that went

1960
01:12:41,050 --> 01:12:41,410
through.

1961
01:12:41,930 --> 01:12:42,230
None.

1962
01:12:42,930 --> 01:12:44,870
I've seen, if anything, two.

1963
01:12:45,950 --> 01:12:46,050
Yeah.

1964
01:12:46,150 --> 01:12:50,330
One guy has a video show on YouTube.

1965
01:12:52,350 --> 01:12:53,010
Yeah, yeah.

1966
01:12:53,010 --> 01:12:53,410
I've seen that guy.

1967
01:12:53,570 --> 01:12:54,450
He's like, yeah.

1968
01:12:54,770 --> 01:12:56,650
He beat tracks every single ship.

1969
01:12:56,890 --> 01:12:58,230
I don't see it, he says.

1970
01:12:58,830 --> 01:13:00,830
He said, what is he talking about?

1971
01:13:01,890 --> 01:13:03,550
There's zero ships.

1972
01:13:03,670 --> 01:13:05,890
But he also said, well, there's a lot

1973
01:13:05,890 --> 01:13:07,390
of GPS spoofing.

1974
01:13:07,530 --> 01:13:09,010
And that ship is over there.

1975
01:13:09,050 --> 01:13:10,490
But I think it's over here.

1976
01:13:11,870 --> 01:13:14,090
So nobody really knows anything.

1977
01:13:14,710 --> 01:13:16,770
Well, there's, again, no evidence.

1978
01:13:16,870 --> 01:13:17,190
No evidence.

1979
01:13:17,210 --> 01:13:18,330
I think Trump's full of it.

1980
01:13:19,310 --> 01:13:21,130
Well, that wouldn't be the first time.

1981
01:13:22,630 --> 01:13:24,290
But you don't know.

1982
01:13:24,510 --> 01:13:24,990
No, you don't.

1983
01:13:25,110 --> 01:13:25,710
It's a problem.

1984
01:13:25,970 --> 01:13:28,250
Besson says that there's oil at sea.

1985
01:13:28,450 --> 01:13:29,270
That we do know.

1986
01:13:29,690 --> 01:13:30,510
Yeah, tons.

1987
01:13:30,930 --> 01:13:33,290
And he's allowing that to be offloaded.

1988
01:13:33,370 --> 01:13:35,750
So that's probably helping somebody somewhere.

1989
01:13:36,850 --> 01:13:39,590
And NATO is still very much in the

1990
01:13:39,590 --> 01:13:40,150
crosshairs.

1991
01:13:40,430 --> 01:13:41,150
This is NATO.

1992
01:13:41,750 --> 01:13:43,930
And I've always said NATO's a paper tiger.

1993
01:13:44,390 --> 01:13:47,330
And I always said we help NATO, but

1994
01:13:47,330 --> 01:13:48,310
they'll never help us.

1995
01:13:48,870 --> 01:13:51,070
And if the big one ever happened, and

1996
01:13:51,070 --> 01:13:53,230
I don't think it will, but if the

1997
01:13:53,230 --> 01:13:55,890
big one ever happened, I guarantee you they

1998
01:13:55,890 --> 01:13:56,650
wouldn't be there.

1999
01:13:57,450 --> 01:13:58,770
And we learned from that.

2000
01:13:58,890 --> 01:14:00,050
And remember what I said.

2001
01:14:00,650 --> 01:14:02,190
Because they made a big mistake.

2002
01:14:02,350 --> 01:14:03,230
They were not there.

2003
01:14:04,170 --> 01:14:05,230
The chancellor of Germany.

2004
01:14:05,370 --> 01:14:06,310
These are old friends of mine.

2005
01:14:06,570 --> 01:14:08,810
Friederich, the chancellor of Germany.

2006
01:14:09,090 --> 01:14:10,570
He said, this is not our war.

2007
01:14:10,650 --> 01:14:11,630
We have nothing to do.

2008
01:14:11,690 --> 01:14:13,410
Well, Ukraine's not our war.

2009
01:14:13,970 --> 01:14:15,230
But we help them.

2010
01:14:16,310 --> 01:14:17,970
He keeps slamming NATO.

2011
01:14:19,190 --> 01:14:20,870
I'm not sure what the plan is.

2012
01:14:21,390 --> 01:14:23,050
But he keeps talking about it.

2013
01:14:23,170 --> 01:14:24,850
Like, oh, they weren't here to help us.

2014
01:14:27,100 --> 01:14:29,860
And this was quite telling.

2015
01:14:30,820 --> 01:14:33,960
And this is regarding our own economy here.

2016
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,460
And the fabulous AI hype that we're in.

2017
01:14:38,860 --> 01:14:40,540
This is kind of telling the way he

2018
01:14:40,540 --> 01:14:41,480
answered this question.

2019
01:14:41,660 --> 01:14:42,720
We'll take some questions.

2020
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:43,780
Thank you.

2021
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:46,400
Thank you very much, Mr. President.

2022
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:47,420
Thank you so much.

2023
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:49,880
And thank you for accepting to take five

2024
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:50,260
questions.

2025
01:14:50,380 --> 01:14:51,520
We don't want to take too much of

2026
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:51,940
your time.

2027
01:14:52,620 --> 01:14:54,260
So let's talk about business.

2028
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:58,240
In one sentence, where should the world invest

2029
01:14:58,240 --> 01:14:59,700
in America right now?

2030
01:15:00,260 --> 01:15:02,280
Well, look, the one that they're going crazy

2031
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:03,160
about is AI.

2032
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:05,700
Now, sometimes you'll say, let's go the opposite.

2033
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:06,700
Because I've seen it.

2034
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:08,540
You know, everyone goes, but AI is going

2035
01:15:08,540 --> 01:15:08,980
crazy.

2036
01:15:09,440 --> 01:15:09,880
AI.

2037
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,800
So my family, we made Don.

2038
01:15:14,300 --> 01:15:15,220
The whole family.

2039
01:15:15,980 --> 01:15:17,480
Eric is doing a good job.

2040
01:15:17,740 --> 01:15:18,840
All of us, Ivanka.

2041
01:15:19,260 --> 01:15:20,480
We liked real estate.

2042
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:22,660
When you can make money in real estate,

2043
01:15:22,740 --> 01:15:23,660
it's a great business.

2044
01:15:23,820 --> 01:15:25,720
But I see some of these guys come

2045
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:26,400
into my office.

2046
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,100
They're wearing a T-shirt and they're 24

2047
01:15:28,100 --> 01:15:28,880
years old.

2048
01:15:29,480 --> 01:15:31,160
Dad, he's got a net worth of $24

2049
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:31,500
billion.

2050
01:15:31,940 --> 01:15:33,040
I said, you've got to be kidding.

2051
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:35,220
Off a little contraption.

2052
01:15:35,700 --> 01:15:39,340
So, but the money seems to be.

2053
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:41,080
I just got to stop.

2054
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:42,900
Off a little contraption.

2055
01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:44,760
Yeah, it's contraptions.

2056
01:15:45,060 --> 01:15:46,620
His contraptions are doing it.

2057
01:15:46,980 --> 01:15:48,680
Dad, he's got a net worth of $24

2058
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:49,040
billion.

2059
01:15:49,460 --> 01:15:50,560
I said, you've got to be kidding.

2060
01:15:51,480 --> 01:15:53,000
Off a little contraption.

2061
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:57,960
So, but the money seems to be right

2062
01:15:57,960 --> 01:15:58,800
now, AI.

2063
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,460
And also, if you're in school, like you're

2064
01:16:01,460 --> 01:16:03,600
going to the Wharton School or the Stern

2065
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,960
School or any of these great schools, I

2066
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:09,320
mean, the numbers that they're paying to go

2067
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:13,040
into that business is incredible, where you see

2068
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:16,340
people getting a $10 million bonus to sign.

2069
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,840
Like baseball players or football players, we're giving

2070
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:20,660
you a $10 million.

2071
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:21,820
I mean, I hate to say it cuz

2072
01:16:21,820 --> 01:16:24,040
it sounds ridiculous, but there have been some

2073
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:27,400
$100 million bonuses paid to sign.

2074
01:16:27,770 --> 01:16:29,400
So I think probably if you're gonna say

2075
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:32,040
one thing, AI, and just hope that it

2076
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:33,020
works, right?

2077
01:16:36,380 --> 01:16:37,420
You better hope.

2078
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,360
He's like, but I hope it works.

2079
01:16:43,860 --> 01:16:46,960
It seems like we have this interesting race

2080
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:49,920
now between open AI and Anthropic, who's going

2081
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,040
to come out first, who's gonna go public

2082
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:52,540
first.

2083
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:54,280
Yeah, this is funny.

2084
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:57,660
And Anthropic is, for all I can see,

2085
01:16:57,720 --> 01:16:58,680
they're killing it.

2086
01:16:59,340 --> 01:17:01,840
Because those guys focus on one thing and

2087
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:03,080
one thing only, code.

2088
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:05,060
Make sure the thing can code.

2089
01:17:05,700 --> 01:17:07,640
And all the developers I know have now

2090
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:09,220
moved over to Claude.

2091
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,260
Everybody's using Claude to code.

2092
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:13,700
It's not a chat, but like, you know,

2093
01:17:14,260 --> 01:17:15,340
it's not like...

2094
01:17:15,340 --> 01:17:18,340
Open AI, they focused on kind of general

2095
01:17:18,340 --> 01:17:22,120
chat, entertainment, answering questions.

2096
01:17:23,300 --> 01:17:27,360
They don't seem to have the coding part

2097
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:31,660
down as much, but they certainly have the

2098
01:17:31,660 --> 01:17:32,440
user base.

2099
01:17:33,460 --> 01:17:34,480
And then we got a boots on the

2100
01:17:34,480 --> 01:17:39,060
ground, because I'm always wondering how they're paying

2101
01:17:39,060 --> 01:17:39,800
for all of this.

2102
01:17:40,780 --> 01:17:42,180
This is from...

2103
01:17:42,180 --> 01:17:43,200
What is this?

2104
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:44,740
Natalie, I think.

2105
01:17:45,740 --> 01:17:47,120
I was at the playground the other day

2106
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:48,660
and started talking to one of the dads

2107
01:17:48,660 --> 01:17:49,040
there.

2108
01:17:49,500 --> 01:17:51,120
Hitting up the dads at the playground.

2109
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,640
He mentioned he worked in the finance department

2110
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:55,400
of Google for the Gemini group.

2111
01:17:56,500 --> 01:17:59,160
I mentioned I was curious about the profitability

2112
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,160
of AI, because I heard a lot of

2113
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:02,460
companies are bleeding money.

2114
01:18:03,140 --> 01:18:04,980
A big grin popped up on his face.

2115
01:18:05,020 --> 01:18:07,860
He told me that Gemini was profitable because

2116
01:18:07,860 --> 01:18:10,320
they've integrated the entire supply chain.

2117
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,020
Google doesn't have to rent out data centers.

2118
01:18:13,180 --> 01:18:13,860
They already have them.

2119
01:18:14,180 --> 01:18:15,660
Or buy chips from Nvidia.

2120
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:17,700
They developed their own, I think.

2121
01:18:17,700 --> 01:18:18,180
Yeah.

2122
01:18:18,440 --> 01:18:20,480
We wanted to discuss more, but his little

2123
01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:21,940
girl started to get upset, so he had

2124
01:18:21,940 --> 01:18:23,000
to move to a different part of the

2125
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:23,300
playground.

2126
01:18:27,620 --> 01:18:29,440
Gemini, they have an interesting...

2127
01:18:29,440 --> 01:18:31,160
For search, they've got a great advantage.

2128
01:18:32,700 --> 01:18:35,100
They've got all the YouTube stuff, and they've

2129
01:18:35,100 --> 01:18:35,740
got Google.

2130
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:39,200
And now they say, well, who are the

2131
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:40,060
winners going to be?

2132
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:43,620
And Rick Beto, our boy, Rick Beto over

2133
01:18:43,620 --> 01:18:45,340
there, the music guy.

2134
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,540
He's come to the same conclusion I have

2135
01:18:48,540 --> 01:18:52,360
about using local models at home.

2136
01:18:52,500 --> 01:18:54,440
And this is what I think is going

2137
01:18:54,440 --> 01:18:56,180
to happen with these AI companies.

2138
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,220
The data centers, they're going to be sitting

2139
01:18:59,220 --> 01:19:00,140
there unused.

2140
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:02,960
Many of them will not be built when

2141
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,840
people start using AI locally, meaning on their

2142
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:06,320
computer.

2143
01:19:06,660 --> 01:19:08,700
And the same thing to happen to the

2144
01:19:08,700 --> 01:19:11,720
music business and recording is going to happen

2145
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:13,080
to these AI companies.

2146
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,660
Because people are going to realize, oh, I

2147
01:19:15,660 --> 01:19:17,060
can do this at my house.

2148
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:18,980
I don't need to be paying these companies.

2149
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,160
If a 64-year-old guy like me

2150
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:23,800
can figure this out last night and show

2151
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,600
you today, how hard can this stuff be?

2152
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,020
People are using these things, Suno and UDO

2153
01:19:29,020 --> 01:19:30,440
and everything for music creation.

2154
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:34,120
People are taking their business contracts and everything.

2155
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:35,840
They're feeding it into ChatGPT.

2156
01:19:36,020 --> 01:19:37,640
People are taking their...

2157
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:39,980
Any of their business things or financial information,

2158
01:19:40,100 --> 01:19:41,880
they're feeding it into these things and they're

2159
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,900
training off your data that you own yourself,

2160
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:49,700
your own personal information, your own intellectual properties.

2161
01:19:50,540 --> 01:19:51,440
And why is that?

2162
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,540
Because you and me are the product.

2163
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:56,580
So who are the winners and losers of

2164
01:19:56,580 --> 01:19:56,880
this?

2165
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:59,980
Well, the companies that make hardware like Apple,

2166
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:06,300
Google, NVIDIA, any company that makes computers, computer

2167
01:20:06,300 --> 01:20:08,160
chips, things like that, those are the ones

2168
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:09,460
that are going to be the winners.

2169
01:20:09,460 --> 01:20:11,720
Unfortunately, the ones that are going to be

2170
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,800
the losers, in my opinion, are the companies

2171
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,140
that make these AI programs.

2172
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:21,000
For most people's needs, individuals and businesses, even

2173
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,240
good-sized businesses, you can do these things

2174
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,440
on your own computers offline.

2175
01:20:27,620 --> 01:20:28,960
What are you doing with your mic?

2176
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:31,880
I got my foot tangled up in the

2177
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:32,200
cord.

2178
01:20:34,820 --> 01:20:35,420
Careful.

2179
01:20:38,820 --> 01:20:42,540
You know, Apple may have a really interesting

2180
01:20:42,540 --> 01:20:44,060
advantage here.

2181
01:20:44,180 --> 01:20:47,120
They have that, the M4...

2182
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:48,280
What is it called?

2183
01:20:48,580 --> 01:20:49,600
It's not...

2184
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:51,140
Yeah, I don't know what it's called.

2185
01:20:51,620 --> 01:20:52,300
But let me...

2186
01:20:52,300 --> 01:20:53,880
While you're mentioning that, I should mention something

2187
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:54,980
JC talked about.

2188
01:20:55,960 --> 01:21:02,480
He says that new Apple laptop, $595, finally

2189
01:21:02,480 --> 01:21:04,660
has a touchscreen.

2190
01:21:04,660 --> 01:21:05,960
And he says it's a killer.

2191
01:21:07,480 --> 01:21:10,180
Yeah, that really got underplayed or downplayed.

2192
01:21:10,180 --> 01:21:11,340
It didn't get played at all.

2193
01:21:11,420 --> 01:21:13,060
I didn't even know anything about it.

2194
01:21:13,100 --> 01:21:14,860
But I know that it's colorful.

2195
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:17,700
Well, I know that the Mac minis are

2196
01:21:17,700 --> 01:21:19,260
sold out for months.

2197
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:21,040
Everybody's got a Mac mini.

2198
01:21:21,260 --> 01:21:21,420
Yeah.

2199
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:22,360
But it's the...

2200
01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:23,500
What is the...

2201
01:21:23,500 --> 01:21:24,760
They have a special...

2202
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,420
So they use their RAM, their regular RAM,

2203
01:21:28,380 --> 01:21:30,820
and you can load it up with RAM.

2204
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:33,020
You can load it up with 256 gigabytes

2205
01:21:33,020 --> 01:21:34,020
or more.

2206
01:21:34,020 --> 01:21:34,620
I think...

2207
01:21:34,620 --> 01:21:35,580
I don't know about the Mac mini.

2208
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:40,140
And it can automatically allocate some of that

2209
01:21:40,140 --> 01:21:44,260
RAM instead of a GPU like an NVIDIA

2210
01:21:44,260 --> 01:21:44,640
card.

2211
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:48,460
So they may accidentally have done something really,

2212
01:21:48,460 --> 01:21:49,340
really smart.

2213
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:50,460
We'll see.

2214
01:21:51,100 --> 01:21:51,660
Yeah.

2215
01:21:52,140 --> 01:21:53,380
Obviously, we'll see.

2216
01:21:53,580 --> 01:21:54,060
We don't know...

2217
01:21:54,060 --> 01:21:55,360
Nobody knows anything, John.

2218
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:55,520
We'll see.

2219
01:21:56,380 --> 01:21:58,440
And then, this is the best.

2220
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:00,320
I'd love to hear your opinion on this.

2221
01:22:00,860 --> 01:22:03,180
Ignition and liftoff.

2222
01:22:03,180 --> 01:22:04,240
I have the clip.

2223
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:06,480
What is the clip?

2224
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:08,200
You don't know what my clip is yet.

2225
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:10,000
Yeah, there's Artemis.

2226
01:22:10,140 --> 01:22:10,520
No!

2227
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:11,160
No!

2228
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:11,600
Wrong!

2229
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:13,360
The sky-high valuation.

2230
01:22:14,140 --> 01:22:16,960
Elon Musk's SpaceX is suiting up to launch

2231
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:20,220
its IPO, a public share sale that would

2232
01:22:20,220 --> 01:22:22,440
value the rocket company at an eye-watering

2233
01:22:22,440 --> 01:22:23,860
$1.5 trillion.

2234
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,080
First reported by the tech site, The Information,

2235
01:22:27,340 --> 01:22:29,540
the sale is expected to float some 5

2236
01:22:29,540 --> 01:22:32,120
% of the company's equity, aiming to raise

2237
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:34,620
around $75 billion, which would make it the

2238
01:22:34,620 --> 01:22:36,480
largest IPO in history.

2239
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:39,320
Unlike many tech firms seeking investor funding on

2240
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:43,020
public markets, SpaceX already has significant cash flow,

2241
01:22:43,440 --> 01:22:46,060
largely thanks to the lucrative government contracts it

2242
01:22:46,060 --> 01:22:49,180
receives and its major profit generator, Starlink.

2243
01:22:49,540 --> 01:22:52,200
The satellite internet provider is estimated to have

2244
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:56,840
generated $8 billion in 2025, accounting for 50

2245
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,640
to 80% of SpaceX's total revenue.

2246
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:00,860
So why go public?

2247
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,560
The SpaceX acquisition of XAI in February saddled

2248
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:06,800
it with a cash-hungry subsidiary that is

2249
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:10,100
reportedly burning through $1 billion per month, as

2250
01:23:10,100 --> 01:23:11,960
it uses to catch up with rivals like

2251
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:14,980
OpenAI and Anthropic, both of which are also

2252
01:23:14,980 --> 01:23:16,000
planning to go public.

2253
01:23:16,440 --> 01:23:19,180
IPO proceeds would also fund further development of

2254
01:23:19,180 --> 01:23:22,380
the Starship rocket and more aspirational projects like

2255
01:23:22,380 --> 01:23:25,360
AI data centers in space and Moonbase Alpha,

2256
01:23:25,660 --> 01:23:27,180
a self-reliant lunar city.

2257
01:23:27,180 --> 01:23:29,840
The move comes with potential downsides for the

2258
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:33,600
notoriously regulation-averse Musk, like requirements for public

2259
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,020
performance reports and having to answer to Wall

2260
01:23:36,020 --> 01:23:36,800
Street analysts.

2261
01:23:57,300 --> 01:24:01,080
I don't think investors are buying his bullcrap

2262
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:01,620
anymore.

2263
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:02,940
We'll see.

2264
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:04,100
Obviously, it sells out.

2265
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:05,620
You think?

2266
01:24:06,140 --> 01:24:06,600
Really?

2267
01:24:07,580 --> 01:24:09,740
Yeah, it's only a small part of the

2268
01:24:09,740 --> 01:24:10,120
company.

2269
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:12,560
They're not unloading everything.

2270
01:24:13,180 --> 01:24:15,580
No, but still, the valuation is high.

2271
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:16,820
It's ridiculous.

2272
01:24:17,220 --> 01:24:19,780
And XAI is junk.

2273
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:21,660
It's junk.

2274
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:24,860
Because it was trained on junk.

2275
01:24:24,940 --> 01:24:25,980
It's just junk.

2276
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:28,660
Yeah, and all he ever touts on X

2277
01:24:28,660 --> 01:24:29,960
is, oh, look at this.

2278
01:24:30,060 --> 01:24:32,340
Oh, look at this animation of this pixie

2279
01:24:32,340 --> 01:24:33,820
girl flying around a clock.

2280
01:24:33,900 --> 01:24:34,620
Looks great.

2281
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,220
Okay, who's going to pay for that?

2282
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:42,400
No, my money...

2283
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,200
All these IPOs are going to be the

2284
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:45,460
death knell of the market.

2285
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:46,980
Well, everyone has to get out.

2286
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:49,060
They won't make it.

2287
01:24:49,340 --> 01:24:51,980
The early investors will get out.

2288
01:24:52,420 --> 01:24:53,120
No, maybe.

2289
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:54,560
No, no, no.

2290
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,560
I'm reminded of that game company back in

2291
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,980
the 80s that waited one day too long

2292
01:24:59,980 --> 01:25:02,000
to do the IPO and the market crashed.

2293
01:25:02,980 --> 01:25:03,920
Oh, what was that?

2294
01:25:04,140 --> 01:25:04,460
Sega?

2295
01:25:05,580 --> 01:25:06,920
No, no, Sega was...

2296
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:07,800
No, Sega is different.

2297
01:25:08,480 --> 01:25:12,880
No, it was specifically a cartridge company that

2298
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,660
made cartridges for the Atari 2600.

2299
01:25:17,580 --> 01:25:21,240
I thought you might be bringing this up,

2300
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,660
which was my astronaut clip, which is very

2301
01:25:24,660 --> 01:25:26,140
disappointing, if true.

2302
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:26,760
I know.

2303
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:28,920
We're all disappointed, John.

2304
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,180
The NASA astronaut who suffered that medical scare

2305
01:25:31,180 --> 01:25:33,900
offering new insight tonight, Mike Fink, says he

2306
01:25:33,900 --> 01:25:36,220
suddenly could not speak for 20 minutes on

2307
01:25:36,220 --> 01:25:37,420
the International Space Station.

2308
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:39,660
His crew, of course, noticing him in distress,

2309
01:25:39,780 --> 01:25:42,160
it prompted that first medical evacuation for NASA.

2310
01:25:42,660 --> 01:25:44,620
Fink now saying doctors believe it was not

2311
01:25:44,620 --> 01:25:46,860
choking or a heart attack, but he's still

2312
01:25:46,860 --> 01:25:49,300
undergoing tests to determine what it really was.

2313
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:51,400
Yeah, yeah, that was not...

2314
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:54,460
If true, that was not your prediction, I

2315
01:25:54,460 --> 01:25:57,960
should say, your prediction of a pregnancy in

2316
01:25:57,960 --> 01:25:58,380
space.

2317
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:01,400
And notice something like that, where you can't

2318
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:03,300
talk for 20 minutes, never happens to a

2319
01:26:03,300 --> 01:26:05,060
female astronaut, just saying.

2320
01:26:06,260 --> 01:26:07,600
Yeah, there it is.

2321
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:08,900
Took me a minute to get it out,

2322
01:26:08,940 --> 01:26:09,540
but there it is.

2323
01:26:11,140 --> 01:26:12,900
I've got an offbeat clip if you want

2324
01:26:12,900 --> 01:26:13,360
to hear it.

2325
01:26:13,380 --> 01:26:13,720
Sure.

2326
01:26:15,440 --> 01:26:17,800
Alex Jones has a new sidekick.

2327
01:26:18,940 --> 01:26:19,580
He does?

2328
01:26:19,580 --> 01:26:22,440
The guy's name is Bashing or something, but

2329
01:26:22,440 --> 01:26:23,640
no, he didn't know Bashing is the name

2330
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:24,000
of the clip.

2331
01:26:25,300 --> 01:26:26,400
He's introduced in here.

2332
01:26:26,740 --> 01:26:27,080
This guy...

2333
01:26:28,860 --> 01:26:31,340
Alex has always had this second, you know,

2334
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,760
these secondary guys that come in and could

2335
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:35,720
fill in and do a show themselves.

2336
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:37,800
Yeah, and they eventually run off and do

2337
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:38,520
their own shows.

2338
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,300
Yeah, like that British kid and there's a

2339
01:26:41,300 --> 01:26:41,600
whole bunch.

2340
01:26:41,700 --> 01:26:43,500
You could have become one of them.

2341
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:45,620
Yeah, but I already had a partner who

2342
01:26:45,620 --> 01:26:46,640
I love and cherish.

2343
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:51,400
Yeah, well, although I'm noticing my voice is

2344
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:52,520
starting to sound like him today.

2345
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:53,780
You know what I'm saying?

2346
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:55,200
Try this.

2347
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:56,580
I've read the documents.

2348
01:26:57,220 --> 01:26:58,420
I've read the documents.

2349
01:26:58,820 --> 01:26:59,740
I know their plan.

2350
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:01,380
I know their plans.

2351
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:03,640
Maybe.

2352
01:27:04,300 --> 01:27:07,940
So here he is bashing, he hates the

2353
01:27:07,940 --> 01:27:09,260
Zeds for some reason.

2354
01:27:09,660 --> 01:27:11,460
Here he is with his buddy, his new

2355
01:27:11,460 --> 01:27:13,580
buddy, bashing the Zeds.

2356
01:27:13,580 --> 01:27:15,840
And I just an eye roller.

2357
01:27:16,660 --> 01:27:17,580
For Burma's good to see.

2358
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,060
I've been loving you hosting the show.

2359
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:21,420
What a crazy time to be alive here.

2360
01:27:21,620 --> 01:27:23,100
It certainly is, Alex.

2361
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:24,840
And just to kind of piggyback on what

2362
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:28,920
you were talking about via this generation and

2363
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:32,900
being just addicted to the scroll box.

2364
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:37,600
And it's not just this idea of track

2365
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,240
trace database.

2366
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:42,200
It's not just this idea of totally and

2367
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:45,260
completely taking away their attention.

2368
01:27:45,820 --> 01:27:47,500
The studies are now out.

2369
01:27:47,660 --> 01:27:48,880
You know, this was going to be part

2370
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:52,900
of me talking about AGI, what's going on

2371
01:27:52,900 --> 01:27:54,560
right now with these data centers.

2372
01:27:54,980 --> 01:27:57,380
But we're talking about a generation right now.

2373
01:27:57,500 --> 01:27:59,440
Generation Z, quote unquote.

2374
01:28:00,180 --> 01:28:01,900
That is not interested in the real world.

2375
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:02,740
They don't want a date.

2376
01:28:02,940 --> 01:28:03,780
They don't want jobs.

2377
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:05,480
They don't want a car because it's their

2378
01:28:05,480 --> 01:28:06,560
own little comfortable world.

2379
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:10,840
Well, they're 40% less cognizant in both

2380
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:14,440
speech and writing, period, full stop.

2381
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:15,980
I mean, it's not just that they-

2382
01:28:15,980 --> 01:28:16,340
Put that back up.

2383
01:28:16,460 --> 01:28:20,280
Major studies, 40% less cognizant in speech

2384
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:21,980
and thought, literally retarded.

2385
01:28:22,100 --> 01:28:23,760
So bottom line, studies prove it, plus you

2386
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:24,100
see it.

2387
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:28,720
iPhones and smartphones and games have literally made

2388
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:30,680
the younger generations retarded.

2389
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:33,700
Well, look at it this way, Alex.

2390
01:28:33,700 --> 01:28:36,280
You know, my generation, your generation, we're only

2391
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:37,320
about five years apart.

2392
01:28:37,420 --> 01:28:39,700
I would argue maybe the people 10, 15

2393
01:28:39,700 --> 01:28:43,300
years younger than us are really what created

2394
01:28:43,300 --> 01:28:45,700
this idea of a podcast.

2395
01:28:45,980 --> 01:28:48,200
I mean, you're a pioneer outside of the

2396
01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:52,340
mainstream media, aka long form content.

2397
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:56,200
Yet when we started seeing these video platforms

2398
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,600
ever emerging, you just mentioned Meta, well, they

2399
01:28:58,600 --> 01:28:59,720
own Instagram.

2400
01:29:00,660 --> 01:29:03,060
This is a bunch of bullcrap.

2401
01:29:03,700 --> 01:29:04,880
I thought so too.

2402
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:05,860
So come on.

2403
01:29:05,860 --> 01:29:08,300
I stopped it at that point where he

2404
01:29:08,300 --> 01:29:12,340
brings up the obviosity that Meta- You

2405
01:29:12,340 --> 01:29:13,620
say something like, you know what?

2406
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:14,780
Hey, Adam, you there?

2407
01:29:15,180 --> 01:29:16,120
Yeah, I'm here, what?

2408
01:29:16,220 --> 01:29:17,340
You know what, Adam?

2409
01:29:17,540 --> 01:29:17,820
What?

2410
01:29:18,100 --> 01:29:19,760
Meta owns Instagram.

2411
01:29:20,100 --> 01:29:21,980
No, get out of town.

2412
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:24,060
Next, you're going to tell me they own

2413
01:29:24,060 --> 01:29:24,480
WhatsApp.

2414
01:29:24,820 --> 01:29:26,380
No, no, no, you can't be telling me

2415
01:29:26,380 --> 01:29:26,680
that.

2416
01:29:27,420 --> 01:29:29,560
Yeah, this is bad for Alex.

2417
01:29:30,420 --> 01:29:33,220
I don't know why he's chosen this particular

2418
01:29:33,220 --> 01:29:34,900
- I've seen this sidekick.

2419
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:35,900
I don't know the guy's name.

2420
01:29:36,660 --> 01:29:37,700
The guy's interesting.

2421
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:39,800
He's also a UFC guy.

2422
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:41,240
He's like a Rogan.

2423
01:29:41,380 --> 01:29:42,300
Oh, okay.

2424
01:29:42,300 --> 01:29:43,400
And I think that's the reason.

2425
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:44,200
That's the hook.

2426
01:29:44,340 --> 01:29:47,820
Now, this is because Alex is on the

2427
01:29:47,820 --> 01:29:48,760
wrong side of this.

2428
01:29:49,240 --> 01:29:52,820
40% of the Zeds are exactly the

2429
01:29:52,820 --> 01:29:55,200
audience he can pull in because they don't

2430
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:56,100
want the phones.

2431
01:29:57,260 --> 01:29:59,420
They're going way more conservative.

2432
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:00,780
They want to date.

2433
01:30:01,140 --> 01:30:02,820
I know, they want vinyl discs.

2434
01:30:02,820 --> 01:30:04,080
They want vinyl discs.

2435
01:30:04,220 --> 01:30:05,120
They want cassette tapes.

2436
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:08,660
And this whole contingent that wants cassette tape.

2437
01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:10,940
Yeah, and look at Brunetti's kid.

2438
01:30:11,460 --> 01:30:12,360
They want Bibles.

2439
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:13,880
I'm telling you.

2440
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:17,540
He's wrong about this.

2441
01:30:17,820 --> 01:30:22,560
The people who are addicted are Gen X.

2442
01:30:23,380 --> 01:30:23,900
Yeah, I agree.

2443
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:26,860
They're the ones that are completely sucked into

2444
01:30:26,860 --> 01:30:27,340
this stuff.

2445
01:30:27,820 --> 01:30:30,180
Man, the women here in Fredericksburg- Older

2446
01:30:30,180 --> 01:30:31,120
millennials too.

2447
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:31,940
Older millennials.

2448
01:30:31,940 --> 01:30:33,800
Yeah, yeah.

2449
01:30:34,420 --> 01:30:37,260
I mean, and they're watching Candace Owens.

2450
01:30:37,540 --> 01:30:39,340
They're on the edge of their seat every

2451
01:30:39,340 --> 01:30:40,220
day at four o'clock.

2452
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:41,220
Oh, Candace is coming.

2453
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:43,460
That Erica Kirk, I'm telling you, she's no

2454
01:30:43,460 --> 01:30:43,820
good.

2455
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:45,060
She's no good.

2456
01:30:45,500 --> 01:30:49,360
And the short form videos, they're doom scrolling

2457
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:50,320
their butts off.

2458
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:53,340
The only saving grace for them is that

2459
01:30:53,340 --> 01:30:55,620
GLP-1 will help stop their addiction.

2460
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:57,100
This is coming.

2461
01:30:57,700 --> 01:30:57,980
Maybe.

2462
01:30:58,180 --> 01:30:59,220
This is my new prediction.

2463
01:30:59,220 --> 01:31:05,480
After erectile dysfunction, GLP-1 Ozempic will help

2464
01:31:05,480 --> 01:31:07,280
you stop your doom scrolling addiction.

2465
01:31:07,380 --> 01:31:09,360
It already does for cocaine and alcohol, you

2466
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:09,500
know.

2467
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:10,260
Supposedly.

2468
01:31:10,660 --> 01:31:12,400
It wouldn't surprise me.

2469
01:31:12,820 --> 01:31:14,380
So that's coming.

2470
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:16,640
Since you mentioned Candace.

2471
01:31:17,500 --> 01:31:17,840
Uh-oh.

2472
01:31:18,300 --> 01:31:20,620
I have a supercut that was done by

2473
01:31:20,620 --> 01:31:21,660
Milk Bar TV.

2474
01:31:22,620 --> 01:31:26,640
Every comment she's made about getting to the

2475
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:29,100
bottom of the Charlie Kirk assassination.

2476
01:31:30,180 --> 01:31:30,380
Yeah.

2477
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:32,800
Over the last two and a half years.

2478
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:34,120
How long is this thing?

2479
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:36,120
Is it 15 minutes long?

2480
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:39,320
It could have been, but I think it

2481
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:39,460
did.

2482
01:31:39,700 --> 01:31:40,460
What is the length?

2483
01:31:40,720 --> 01:31:41,520
Oh, 114.

2484
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:41,960
Okay.

2485
01:31:42,140 --> 01:31:42,700
Yeah, 114.

2486
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:43,200
It's not bad.

2487
01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:43,680
Here we go.

2488
01:31:43,740 --> 01:31:46,400
Going and we are definitively getting closer to

2489
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:47,880
what took place on that day.

2490
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:49,540
And we are getting closer.

2491
01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:50,260
I think we're close.

2492
01:31:50,460 --> 01:31:52,060
We are definitively getting closer.

2493
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:53,220
We're getting close.

2494
01:31:53,620 --> 01:31:53,960
We're getting close.

2495
01:31:54,300 --> 01:31:55,480
Very close.

2496
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:56,940
We're inching ever closer.

2497
01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:00,840
We are now, I believe, extremely close to

2498
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:01,640
solving this thing.

2499
01:32:01,860 --> 01:32:04,140
As I get inch closer and closer to

2500
01:32:04,140 --> 01:32:05,080
discovering the truth.

2501
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:06,320
I've got a feeling about that.

2502
01:32:06,420 --> 01:32:07,160
Where we're close.

2503
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:09,600
We're getting closer to something and that something

2504
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:11,100
is pretty big.

2505
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:13,440
I just sense that we're getting close.

2506
01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:15,400
I sense that we are getting very close.

2507
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:18,300
And we are getting closer.

2508
01:32:18,500 --> 01:32:21,000
Getting very close to something.

2509
01:32:21,180 --> 01:32:23,360
We're getting closer because we are getting close.

2510
01:32:23,480 --> 01:32:25,080
We are definitely getting closer.

2511
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:25,860
Very close.

2512
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:27,000
We are very close.

2513
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:27,720
We are close.

2514
01:32:27,820 --> 01:32:30,420
We are dangerously close to something.

2515
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:31,920
We are dead close to something.

2516
01:32:32,460 --> 01:32:33,840
And I think every day we are inching

2517
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:34,180
closer.

2518
01:32:34,380 --> 01:32:36,180
Who killed Charlie Kirk?

2519
01:32:36,740 --> 01:32:37,780
You know we're getting close.

2520
01:32:38,020 --> 01:32:39,260
We're inching ever closer.

2521
01:32:39,420 --> 01:32:40,320
We are inching closer.

2522
01:32:40,460 --> 01:32:42,200
A little closer to solving the Charlie Kirk

2523
01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:43,180
murder.

2524
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:44,260
And I'm getting very close.

2525
01:32:44,620 --> 01:32:45,980
And we are getting very close.

2526
01:32:46,300 --> 01:32:47,180
But I'm getting closer.

2527
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:50,120
I'm getting real close.

2528
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:51,720
My prayers are with you, Candace.

2529
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:52,340
You are close.

2530
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:53,440
We are close.

2531
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,780
And we're getting closer to the truth.

2532
01:32:55,780 --> 01:32:56,760
We get closer.

2533
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:57,920
We are getting close.

2534
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:01,280
She's very close now.

2535
01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:03,280
Jason Burmess is the name of the guy.

2536
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:04,100
Yeah.

2537
01:33:04,180 --> 01:33:04,800
The sidekick.

2538
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:06,260
He also, I think he was one of

2539
01:33:06,260 --> 01:33:08,240
the producers of the Loose Change.

2540
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:12,100
That, remember that?

2541
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:15,960
The doc is quote unquote documentary about 9

2542
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:16,260
-11.

2543
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:17,720
No.

2544
01:33:18,440 --> 01:33:18,740
Yeah.

2545
01:33:18,940 --> 01:33:21,160
Loose Change, 9-11, and American coup.

2546
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:22,040
That's what it was.

2547
01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:25,160
It came out around 2009, 2010.

2548
01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:27,060
Yeah.

2549
01:33:27,100 --> 01:33:30,220
There's something about, and I feel there's a

2550
01:33:30,220 --> 01:33:34,780
backlash growing against Candace.

2551
01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:37,720
Just the whole group, because it's so annoying.

2552
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:40,460
It's so much infighting.

2553
01:33:41,020 --> 01:33:44,360
And you've got Megyn Kelly fighting with Mark

2554
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:45,380
Levin online.

2555
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:47,240
You have a micro penis.

2556
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:50,280
It's like, what are we doing?

2557
01:33:51,420 --> 01:33:54,240
I should forbid them from calling their shows

2558
01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:54,900
podcasts.

2559
01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:58,360
I think I have the right to do

2560
01:33:58,360 --> 01:33:58,660
that.

2561
01:33:59,100 --> 01:33:59,500
You do.

2562
01:33:59,900 --> 01:34:01,320
They should stop doing that.

2563
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,820
Now we have two podcasters in our administration,

2564
01:34:05,620 --> 01:34:08,220
which was, I just have to play this

2565
01:34:08,220 --> 01:34:09,640
for the presentation of it.

2566
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:13,420
This is the announcement of a federal healthcare

2567
01:34:13,420 --> 01:34:14,620
advisory committee.

2568
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:20,260
And this is your HHS secretary, RFK Jr.

2569
01:34:20,860 --> 01:34:22,180
And Dr. Oz.

2570
01:34:22,860 --> 01:34:24,820
They're like doing a podcast now.

2571
01:34:24,820 --> 01:34:29,020
It's the presentation was just, it was all

2572
01:34:29,020 --> 01:34:30,060
inspiring, really.

2573
01:34:30,460 --> 01:34:31,300
Hi, I'm Robert F.

2574
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:33,440
Kennedy Jr. You're HHS secretary.

2575
01:34:33,820 --> 01:34:35,860
And I'm Dr. Mehmet Oz, CMS administrator.

2576
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:37,560
Hey, Code Bongino.

2577
01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:40,380
The health policy seems like everybody's a pessimist.

2578
01:34:40,620 --> 01:34:41,560
The system's too broken.

2579
01:34:41,820 --> 01:34:43,120
The interest groups are too powerful.

2580
01:34:43,480 --> 01:34:44,880
The incentives, they're malaligned.

2581
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:46,240
The whole thing's too complicated.

2582
01:34:46,260 --> 01:34:48,440
Did Dr. Oz ever offer some products on

2583
01:34:48,440 --> 01:34:48,760
TV?

2584
01:34:49,180 --> 01:34:52,340
Was he only a doctor doctor, or did

2585
01:34:52,340 --> 01:34:54,400
he ever have some gambit to sell?

2586
01:34:55,420 --> 01:35:00,660
He was, he had a syndicated TV show.

2587
01:35:01,020 --> 01:35:03,100
And there was some product that he sold

2588
01:35:03,100 --> 01:35:05,920
that was one of these scammish, you know,

2589
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:09,120
wellness things that does this, that and the

2590
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:09,320
other.

2591
01:35:09,940 --> 01:35:10,620
A wellness thing.

2592
01:35:10,660 --> 01:35:11,520
And does nothing.

2593
01:35:11,860 --> 01:35:13,880
And he got called before Congress and was

2594
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:14,860
berated.

2595
01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:17,680
Well, it's, this is what the problem here

2596
01:35:17,680 --> 01:35:19,340
is, it sounds like these guys are selling

2597
01:35:19,340 --> 01:35:20,800
me something that I don't want.

2598
01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:23,900
This administration rejects that mindset.

2599
01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:26,460
We take on the broken systems.

2600
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:28,820
We challenge the entrenched interests.

2601
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:31,660
And we fix misaligned incentives to deliver real

2602
01:35:31,660 --> 01:35:32,260
results.

2603
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:32,960
Real results.

2604
01:35:32,980 --> 01:35:35,380
While bringing together the top talent to take

2605
01:35:35,380 --> 01:35:37,660
on the toughest challenges head on.

2606
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:40,260
And that's why today we are announcing the

2607
01:35:40,260 --> 01:35:43,560
members of our new Healthcare Advisory Committee, which

2608
01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:46,700
will develop recommendations for how Secretary Kennedy and

2609
01:35:46,700 --> 01:35:49,760
I can improve Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health

2610
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:52,500
Insurance Program, and the health insurance marketplaces.

2611
01:35:52,500 --> 01:35:53,600
Yeah, it was, that's right.

2612
01:35:53,740 --> 01:35:55,520
I think it was the Dr. Oz green

2613
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:56,300
coffee beans.

2614
01:35:57,260 --> 01:35:59,620
This just sounds like an infomercial.

2615
01:35:59,900 --> 01:36:01,940
Their insights will help us cut costs, slash

2616
01:36:01,940 --> 01:36:04,580
red tape, improve quality of care, keep programs

2617
01:36:04,580 --> 01:36:05,860
solvent and refocus.

2618
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:07,880
Crazy Eddie's prices are insane.

2619
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:10,220
Healthcare and the people it is meant to

2620
01:36:10,220 --> 01:36:10,580
serve.

2621
01:36:10,940 --> 01:36:11,520
The patients.

2622
01:36:11,700 --> 01:36:13,460
I'm so proud of the team that we've

2623
01:36:13,460 --> 01:36:13,840
assembled.

2624
01:36:13,980 --> 01:36:16,720
We reviewed more than 400 candidates from all

2625
01:36:16,720 --> 01:36:17,620
across the country.

2626
01:36:17,740 --> 01:36:19,160
And we selected just 18.

2627
01:36:19,860 --> 01:36:23,300
These individuals bring extensive experience from state and

2628
01:36:23,300 --> 01:36:26,980
federal government, from health system management, from nonprofits

2629
01:36:26,980 --> 01:36:28,700
and health technology innovation.

2630
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:31,660
Even RFK Jr. is doing better with his

2631
01:36:31,660 --> 01:36:31,980
voice.

2632
01:36:32,220 --> 01:36:33,540
These guys, they're pitching.

2633
01:36:33,740 --> 01:36:34,620
They're pitching hard.

2634
01:36:35,820 --> 01:36:37,500
I know there's something about it that just

2635
01:36:37,500 --> 01:36:38,580
doesn't feel right.

2636
01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:44,640
You know, back to my hospital experience.

2637
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:45,540
Ah, here we go.

2638
01:36:47,460 --> 01:36:50,440
Is I don't think these hospitals, and I

2639
01:36:50,440 --> 01:36:54,440
would say specifically the, the, the cafeteria where

2640
01:36:54,440 --> 01:36:56,480
the people that's the dinners they serve you.

2641
01:36:56,700 --> 01:36:59,260
This is all stuff from the 1940s.

2642
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:01,740
You know, the Jell-O and everything's pre

2643
01:37:01,740 --> 01:37:07,820
-packaged horrible puddings, a bunch of everything's aspartame,

2644
01:37:07,820 --> 01:37:10,440
it's loaded with artificial sweeteners.

2645
01:37:10,820 --> 01:37:13,120
It's like nobody ever heard of Kennedy.

2646
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:16,680
And I see no influence or impact whatsoever.

2647
01:37:17,180 --> 01:37:18,280
Oh, from Kennedy.

2648
01:37:18,540 --> 01:37:19,300
Interesting point.

2649
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:19,540
Yeah.

2650
01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:22,080
Well, but the, the Jell-O that's contracts.

2651
01:37:22,180 --> 01:37:24,740
And those contracts have been around since, since

2652
01:37:24,740 --> 01:37:25,400
Bill.

2653
01:37:25,580 --> 01:37:26,920
And it's not even Jell-O.

2654
01:37:27,220 --> 01:37:30,720
It's some other off brand of gelatin dessert

2655
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:32,840
that is unedible.

2656
01:37:32,980 --> 01:37:34,460
It's a gelatin product.

2657
01:37:35,060 --> 01:37:36,440
It's a gelatin product.

2658
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:38,600
I mean, you have no idea how bad

2659
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:39,420
the food is.

2660
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:41,180
I lost like 10 pounds.

2661
01:37:41,180 --> 01:37:45,940
It was like, and then they had these

2662
01:37:45,940 --> 01:37:49,160
dietitians that the one that was at the

2663
01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:51,560
hospital, I've got another one that's better, but

2664
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:54,040
the one from the hospital, she's, she might

2665
01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:55,660
as well been from 1963.

2666
01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:59,980
It's old, old ideas, the old pyramids.

2667
01:38:00,260 --> 01:38:02,500
And really, you know, lots of carbs.

2668
01:38:02,660 --> 01:38:03,820
Oh, you got more carbs.

2669
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:07,820
So, I mean, did you, what was the

2670
01:38:07,820 --> 01:38:08,580
typical dinner?

2671
01:38:11,180 --> 01:38:13,360
They'd have something like a, like a chick.

2672
01:38:13,500 --> 01:38:15,840
Well, just an example of something that was

2673
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:16,820
borderline.

2674
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:18,500
It wasn't even borderline edible, actually.

2675
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:20,320
It would be a piece of chicken, a

2676
01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:24,260
chicken thigh, uh, with some, you know, phony

2677
01:38:24,260 --> 01:38:26,920
baloney name, some gravy, the chicken thigh was

2678
01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:30,140
so overcooked that you could literally, you could,

2679
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,180
you could pick it up and you could,

2680
01:38:32,220 --> 01:38:33,820
you could pound a nail with it.

2681
01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:37,120
It was unbelievable.

2682
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:38,780
All right.

2683
01:38:38,860 --> 01:38:40,760
So did they have a potato product, a

2684
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:41,600
starch product?

2685
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:45,200
They did have like mashed potatoes, uh, no

2686
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:45,740
salt.

2687
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:48,420
And so it was like tasteless and, and

2688
01:38:48,420 --> 01:38:49,920
the texture wasn't quite right.

2689
01:38:50,060 --> 01:38:51,620
And then string beans, string beans.

2690
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:52,280
Yeah.

2691
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:53,400
Always some string beans.

2692
01:38:53,580 --> 01:38:53,680
Yep.

2693
01:38:54,980 --> 01:38:58,480
And then a gelatin product of unknown origin

2694
01:38:58,480 --> 01:38:59,820
and manufacture date.

2695
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:01,280
Yeah.

2696
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:02,280
Wow.

2697
01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:04,820
In a, in a prepackaged thing that was

2698
01:39:04,820 --> 01:39:06,820
obviously came off in assembly line.

2699
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:08,380
Yeah.

2700
01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:11,060
So is Jano taking care of you or

2701
01:39:11,060 --> 01:39:12,500
is she feeding you?

2702
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:13,800
I mean, how, what's this?

2703
01:39:13,900 --> 01:39:14,880
I can cook now.

2704
01:39:14,940 --> 01:39:15,760
What's the situation?

2705
01:39:15,860 --> 01:39:17,240
Are you in bed most of the day?

2706
01:39:17,780 --> 01:39:18,680
No, God, no.

2707
01:39:18,860 --> 01:39:19,780
Well, that's the last thing.

2708
01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:21,140
That's why I had to get out of

2709
01:39:21,140 --> 01:39:22,540
the hospital because they keep you in bed

2710
01:39:22,540 --> 01:39:23,040
all day.

2711
01:39:23,300 --> 01:39:24,340
Now I got to be up.

2712
01:39:24,780 --> 01:39:29,080
And so, uh, back to these meals, it

2713
01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:31,120
was like, you couldn't eat any of it.

2714
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:35,320
They examined the percentage of what you ate

2715
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:37,100
and it would go in your file.

2716
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:38,820
Uh, you only ate, you know, we can't

2717
01:39:38,820 --> 01:39:39,940
eat any more than that.

2718
01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:41,320
And what did you say?

2719
01:39:41,440 --> 01:39:42,080
It sucks.

2720
01:39:42,780 --> 01:39:43,020
Yeah.

2721
01:39:43,100 --> 01:39:45,300
And I complained bitterly the whole time and

2722
01:39:45,300 --> 01:39:47,860
everybody agreed with me and it was one

2723
01:39:47,860 --> 01:39:51,020
nurse and PA every million of these different

2724
01:39:51,020 --> 01:39:52,480
titles coming up and down.

2725
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:54,480
Well, yeah, we, we just too bad.

2726
01:39:54,500 --> 01:39:56,100
We can't have food that's edible.

2727
01:39:56,100 --> 01:39:59,740
And one nurse comes in and I'm bitching

2728
01:39:59,740 --> 01:40:04,020
as usual about the food and, and do,

2729
01:40:04,180 --> 01:40:05,660
do other one nurses nodding.

2730
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:07,120
And the other one says, I think the

2731
01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:08,500
food here is great.

2732
01:40:09,020 --> 01:40:10,320
And I said, what?

2733
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:12,060
How could you say that?

2734
01:40:12,080 --> 01:40:13,180
She says, I used to work at the

2735
01:40:13,180 --> 01:40:13,700
VA.

2736
01:40:14,100 --> 01:40:17,160
Oh, you have no idea what bad food

2737
01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:17,440
is.

2738
01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:19,040
You're clueless.

2739
01:40:20,300 --> 01:40:21,380
It's kind of sad.

2740
01:40:21,440 --> 01:40:22,840
Have you gotten any, have you received the

2741
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:23,340
bills yet?

2742
01:40:23,420 --> 01:40:24,880
This is what everyone's waiting for.

2743
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:26,640
Oh, it's going to be like the fortune,

2744
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:27,640
but nothing yet.

2745
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:27,880
Right.

2746
01:40:27,940 --> 01:40:29,920
We don't, we don't have any, they're late.

2747
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:31,320
What are they, why are they waiting?

2748
01:40:32,700 --> 01:40:33,740
I have no idea.

2749
01:40:33,900 --> 01:40:35,340
We'll, we'll find out soon enough.

2750
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:36,040
So, okay.

2751
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:37,400
If you don't mind me just asking, cause

2752
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:39,700
people want to know, we're all generally concerned

2753
01:40:39,700 --> 01:40:41,380
for your health and people have to understand.

2754
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:44,000
It is amazing that you're even doing a

2755
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:44,720
podcast.

2756
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:45,560
Yeah.

2757
01:40:45,700 --> 01:40:47,840
This, this quickly after you're, I mean, you're

2758
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:48,520
no letterman.

2759
01:40:49,300 --> 01:40:51,560
Uh, no letterman went on stage.

2760
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:52,120
Yes.

2761
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,120
Well, now are you, are you going to

2762
01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:55,500
make the meetup on the 11th?

2763
01:40:55,540 --> 01:40:56,280
No, probably not.

2764
01:40:56,340 --> 01:40:58,600
I'm going to try to make it.

2765
01:40:58,760 --> 01:40:59,420
Oh man.

2766
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:01,240
You know what, you know what you need?

2767
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:02,340
You need like Stephen Hawking.

2768
01:41:02,440 --> 01:41:03,940
Remember when I met, well, I didn't really

2769
01:41:03,940 --> 01:41:05,240
meet him, but I had dinner in the

2770
01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:08,300
same restaurant as Stephen Hawking in Los Angeles.

2771
01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:11,660
And he had this babes, like super hot.

2772
01:41:11,660 --> 01:41:13,040
He apparently attracted a lot of babes.

2773
01:41:13,300 --> 01:41:14,560
Super hot nurse babes.

2774
01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:16,540
We can get you some hot nurse babes

2775
01:41:16,540 --> 01:41:18,580
just for the meetup.

2776
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:19,380
You know, just when you're.

2777
01:41:19,380 --> 01:41:21,020
I think the bill's too high already.

2778
01:41:21,020 --> 01:41:22,780
No, but the media, I'd be, I have

2779
01:41:22,780 --> 01:41:23,680
a couple of hot nurses.

2780
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:24,040
Yeah.

2781
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:24,360
Yeah.

2782
01:41:24,380 --> 01:41:25,520
But a little elaborate.

2783
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:28,080
I did pull that stunt before something similar

2784
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:30,980
to that in a competition, but a cooking

2785
01:41:30,980 --> 01:41:32,180
competition in Vegas.

2786
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:34,100
I'm pretty sure that we can get a

2787
01:41:34,100 --> 01:41:36,760
couple of our female producers to dress up

2788
01:41:36,760 --> 01:41:39,960
as, you know, hot nurses just for the

2789
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:40,600
photo op.

2790
01:41:41,260 --> 01:41:42,100
That'd be a good photo.

2791
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:42,640
Yeah.

2792
01:41:43,020 --> 01:41:44,060
You're not into it.

2793
01:41:44,100 --> 01:41:44,320
Okay.

2794
01:41:44,380 --> 01:41:46,040
I'm just trying to cheer you up over

2795
01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:48,420
the hill for these sorts of, of, uh,

2796
01:41:49,020 --> 01:41:50,220
publicity stunts.

2797
01:41:50,220 --> 01:41:52,360
Have you gotten any calls from any of

2798
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:53,120
your peers?

2799
01:41:54,020 --> 01:41:55,500
Like, I don't know the Lib Joe's.

2800
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:56,220
Has anyone called?

2801
01:41:56,580 --> 01:41:57,860
The Lib Joe's are clueless.

2802
01:41:58,360 --> 01:41:59,080
They have no idea.

2803
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:02,640
Uh, I mean, people I talk to a

2804
01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:04,300
lot, they'll, we all talk to each other

2805
01:42:04,300 --> 01:42:05,780
and, um.

2806
01:42:05,900 --> 01:42:07,220
Has Leo Laporte called?

2807
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:09,800
No, he hasn't even said anything about it.

2808
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:10,760
Oh, wow.

2809
01:42:10,900 --> 01:42:11,920
He has to know.

2810
01:42:12,440 --> 01:42:13,960
Oh, you were on pod news.

2811
01:42:15,380 --> 01:42:16,080
I was?

2812
01:42:16,480 --> 01:42:19,400
Yeah, you were on pod news.

2813
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:20,480
John C.

2814
01:42:20,660 --> 01:42:23,600
Dvorak, 18 year co-host of the No

2815
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:26,380
Agenda podcast has had a double bypass.

2816
01:42:27,180 --> 01:42:28,120
We wish him well.

2817
01:42:30,100 --> 01:42:30,540
Yeah.

2818
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:31,520
You were on pod news, man.

2819
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:32,640
You made the pod news.

2820
01:42:33,340 --> 01:42:35,880
Well, it's about time I got some publicity.

2821
01:42:37,740 --> 01:42:38,180
Okay.

2822
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:40,960
So, but you're a genius.

2823
01:42:41,180 --> 01:42:42,760
I'll bring these stories in and out.

2824
01:42:42,980 --> 01:42:43,340
All right.

2825
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:45,260
Well, we just want to know, it's like,

2826
01:42:45,580 --> 01:42:46,920
do you go, do you walk outside?

2827
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:48,860
Are you only walking in the house?

2828
01:42:48,860 --> 01:42:51,740
Well, when I'm outside, because here's the problem.

2829
01:42:52,300 --> 01:42:53,940
And this is a two month problem.

2830
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:56,020
It's a huge problem.

2831
01:42:57,560 --> 01:43:00,460
Uh, you have limited use of your arms,

2832
01:43:00,460 --> 01:43:02,880
uh, because if you start doing anything.

2833
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:03,320
Oh, it hurts.

2834
01:43:03,980 --> 01:43:05,860
No, it's not, it hurts.

2835
01:43:06,180 --> 01:43:09,000
It, it, it's the, because as you're cut

2836
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:11,920
down the middle of your chest, you have

2837
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:15,000
your, uh, that bone there that's kind of

2838
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:16,240
stapled back together.

2839
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:19,540
With a hammer and nail, some, some gaffer

2840
01:43:19,540 --> 01:43:19,800
tape.

2841
01:43:20,060 --> 01:43:22,520
And it takes like two months before it's

2842
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:24,520
sealed enough that you can take a chance

2843
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:25,480
on doing anything.

2844
01:43:25,620 --> 01:43:28,840
And they, they, like, for example, if you,

2845
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,080
they say, they tell you this, which makes

2846
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:32,060
it tough to walk around.

2847
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:34,680
So I, so they, the hospital gave me

2848
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:38,020
this role, this kind of rolly Walker, which

2849
01:43:38,020 --> 01:43:40,160
I use when I go outside, because if

2850
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:44,180
you fall down in this two month period,

2851
01:43:44,620 --> 01:43:45,440
oh, you're screwed.

2852
01:43:46,260 --> 01:43:47,980
It cracks this thing.

2853
01:43:48,700 --> 01:43:50,420
And then the, and the word is if

2854
01:43:50,420 --> 01:43:52,800
you fall down, you don't have anybody try

2855
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:53,480
to get you up.

2856
01:43:53,660 --> 01:43:54,940
You call nine one, one.

2857
01:43:56,200 --> 01:43:56,720
Wow.

2858
01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:58,520
Who needs that aggravation?

2859
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:00,680
Yeah.

2860
01:44:00,740 --> 01:44:03,420
So you're very careful about things when you're

2861
01:44:03,420 --> 01:44:04,380
wandering around.

2862
01:44:04,500 --> 01:44:07,280
And so when you're outside this rolling Walker

2863
01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:10,100
thing, which has got four wheels and handlebars

2864
01:44:10,100 --> 01:44:11,760
and you can walk like a bat out

2865
01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:14,880
of hell, uh, you use it because you

2866
01:44:14,880 --> 01:44:17,600
can't take a chance of stumbling or falling

2867
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:19,660
because who the hell needs to start the

2868
01:44:19,660 --> 01:44:20,500
process over?

2869
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:21,120
No, no, no.

2870
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:21,480
I didn't.

2871
01:44:21,620 --> 01:44:22,920
And what did they have to rebreak you?

2872
01:44:23,020 --> 01:44:24,280
They have to cut you open again.

2873
01:44:24,380 --> 01:44:25,240
I don't know what they do.

2874
01:44:25,340 --> 01:44:25,940
I have no idea.

2875
01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:26,620
I don't want to know.

2876
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:27,360
I want to find out.

2877
01:44:27,420 --> 01:44:29,420
And does your Walker have handbrakes?

2878
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:30,260
Yeah.

2879
01:44:31,180 --> 01:44:31,540
Cool.

2880
01:44:32,060 --> 01:44:32,980
And a little seat.

2881
01:44:34,980 --> 01:44:35,700
It's cute.

2882
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:38,380
It's the cutest thing, but it's like, you

2883
01:44:38,380 --> 01:44:40,100
can go, you can, you feel very confident

2884
01:44:40,100 --> 01:44:41,660
with it, but yeah.

2885
01:44:42,220 --> 01:44:42,580
Okay.

2886
01:44:42,580 --> 01:44:43,900
No, this is a, not a thing I

2887
01:44:43,900 --> 01:44:45,580
would recommend anyone who want to go through.

2888
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:48,200
But the thing is, Mimi has a friend,

2889
01:44:48,380 --> 01:44:53,500
Richard, who had a quadruple and he called

2890
01:44:53,500 --> 01:44:56,820
me up the other day, uh, ex police

2891
01:44:56,820 --> 01:44:59,560
guy from LA who's a whistleblower.

2892
01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:01,960
It made a couple million bucks turning in

2893
01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:02,880
some mobsters.

2894
01:45:03,060 --> 01:45:03,480
So I don't know.

2895
01:45:03,580 --> 01:45:04,760
He had to run up to Washington.

2896
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:06,980
He's in the witness protection program up in

2897
01:45:06,980 --> 01:45:07,720
Washington state.

2898
01:45:07,820 --> 01:45:09,820
Now he's just hiding out.

2899
01:45:09,820 --> 01:45:13,700
And so, uh, he had a quadruple and

2900
01:45:13,700 --> 01:45:15,680
he told me, told me the whole thing,

2901
01:45:15,980 --> 01:45:18,580
everything that I'm doing now is exactly what

2902
01:45:18,580 --> 01:45:19,180
happens.

2903
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:21,320
And you come out the other end when

2904
01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:23,600
you're done with the process, which is a

2905
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:26,640
good four months, uh, for the whole thing

2906
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:30,480
to blow over and you, it's okay.

2907
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:32,440
It's okay.

2908
01:45:33,340 --> 01:45:36,480
If you feel better than you did before.

2909
01:45:36,480 --> 01:45:39,200
And there's a lot of benefits, uh, except,

2910
01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:40,380
you know, you go and you get these

2911
01:45:40,380 --> 01:45:43,440
scars, you can show off, uh, yeah, meetups.

2912
01:45:43,480 --> 01:45:44,360
Yeah, exactly.

2913
01:45:44,480 --> 01:45:46,300
Hey, look, no, no, wait a minute.

2914
01:45:46,300 --> 01:45:47,380
We already discussed this.

2915
01:45:47,440 --> 01:45:49,740
The first rule of group is you don't

2916
01:45:49,740 --> 01:45:50,640
show your scar.

2917
01:45:51,300 --> 01:45:52,420
That's what the guy said.

2918
01:45:53,860 --> 01:45:55,560
I told you, I mentioned that story with

2919
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:56,340
the guy comes in.

2920
01:45:56,420 --> 01:45:58,120
Yeah, no, we, yeah, we all think you

2921
01:45:58,120 --> 01:45:58,700
should go to group.

2922
01:45:58,860 --> 01:46:00,000
I didn't do the kicker.

2923
01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:01,340
Oh, what's the kicker?

2924
01:46:01,900 --> 01:46:03,460
He lifts up his shirt and shows me

2925
01:46:03,460 --> 01:46:03,780
the scar.

2926
01:46:07,160 --> 01:46:08,780
I'm thinking you should go to one of

2927
01:46:08,780 --> 01:46:10,420
these just for the experience.

2928
01:46:10,620 --> 01:46:11,400
Go to group.

2929
01:46:11,580 --> 01:46:12,260
Yeah, I just might.

2930
01:46:12,640 --> 01:46:12,740
Yeah.

2931
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:14,560
How could it hurt?

2932
01:46:15,580 --> 01:46:17,360
Well, you might, there might be a couple

2933
01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:18,620
of guys with great stories.

2934
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:19,840
That's what I'm thinking.

2935
01:46:20,260 --> 01:46:22,240
Like, Hey, here's what the babes like.

2936
01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:27,320
There's got to be some kind of contingency

2937
01:46:27,320 --> 01:46:29,180
of, of women who just love.

2938
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:31,200
Oh, can you imagine?

2939
01:46:31,620 --> 01:46:33,520
Cause you know, it's like groupies, you know,

2940
01:46:33,540 --> 01:46:34,060
collectors.

2941
01:46:36,180 --> 01:46:38,640
Yeah, I'm sure there is, to be honest

2942
01:46:38,640 --> 01:46:39,040
about it.

2943
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:40,740
Far out with your scar out, baby.

2944
01:46:41,100 --> 01:46:42,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2945
01:46:42,440 --> 01:46:42,860
All right.

2946
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:44,980
A couple more clips here before we take

2947
01:46:44,980 --> 01:46:45,540
a break.

2948
01:46:45,620 --> 01:46:48,720
I do have the, the Artemis clip, but

2949
01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:50,220
this is not the one you had.

2950
01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:53,700
This is about the ever delayed moon launch.

2951
01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:55,960
For the first time in more than 50

2952
01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:58,560
years, NASA is about to launch four astronauts

2953
01:46:58,560 --> 01:46:59,540
near the moon.

2954
01:46:59,540 --> 01:47:03,380
Artemis two, the more than $55 billion investment

2955
01:47:03,380 --> 01:47:04,820
is a 10 day mission.

2956
01:47:05,100 --> 01:47:07,320
Its goal is to fly astronauts around the

2957
01:47:07,320 --> 01:47:10,260
moon and back exploring the feasibility of building

2958
01:47:10,260 --> 01:47:12,400
a lasting site on the moon for lunar

2959
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:15,420
exploration and future missions to Mars.

2960
01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:17,580
But this step in science comes with a

2961
01:47:17,580 --> 01:47:19,200
cost and missed deadlines.

2962
01:47:19,300 --> 01:47:21,420
As those interested in this mission are looking

2963
01:47:21,420 --> 01:47:22,620
at it with a microscope.

2964
01:47:23,300 --> 01:47:26,380
Will it be another delayed expensive NASA failure

2965
01:47:26,380 --> 01:47:28,840
or will this mission be one to impress?

2966
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:30,720
I mean, NASA does have a history.

2967
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:31,800
You can look at a lot of our

2968
01:47:31,800 --> 01:47:34,980
OIG reports where we are way over budget

2969
01:47:34,980 --> 01:47:37,060
and substantially behind schedule.

2970
01:47:37,220 --> 01:47:40,340
NASA's administrator, Jared Isaacson admitted to what we

2971
01:47:40,340 --> 01:47:42,540
all know on Tuesday, but added.

2972
01:47:42,860 --> 01:47:44,500
At some point you have to, you know,

2973
01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:46,200
course correct and get things back on track.

2974
01:47:46,340 --> 01:47:48,700
Back on track after a report from the

2975
01:47:48,700 --> 01:47:52,060
government accountability office discovered last July that the

2976
01:47:52,060 --> 01:47:55,420
mission was already close to $7 billion over

2977
01:47:55,420 --> 01:47:55,860
budget.

2978
01:47:56,140 --> 01:47:57,980
We have to do some things differently.

2979
01:47:57,980 --> 01:47:59,120
I think you're seeing it in some of

2980
01:47:59,120 --> 01:47:59,920
the public support.

2981
01:48:00,340 --> 01:48:02,060
You're seeing it in, you know, the new

2982
01:48:02,060 --> 01:48:02,960
authorization bill.

2983
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:04,500
And this is what it takes.

2984
01:48:04,640 --> 01:48:06,200
If we're going to get the job done

2985
01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:08,340
to go to the moon, do so before

2986
01:48:08,340 --> 01:48:08,940
our rivals.

2987
01:48:09,340 --> 01:48:11,900
Isaacson speaking on the mounting pressure of the

2988
01:48:11,900 --> 01:48:14,440
international space race, a big part of NASA's

2989
01:48:14,440 --> 01:48:17,180
reputation and what's at stake for this upcoming

2990
01:48:17,180 --> 01:48:17,700
mission.

2991
01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:20,480
Right now, he says the agency's priority is

2992
01:48:20,480 --> 01:48:22,900
developing technology to explore the moon.

2993
01:48:23,140 --> 01:48:25,300
But this sentiment is also a major focus

2994
01:48:25,300 --> 01:48:27,640
point for those watching from the outside.

2995
01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:30,900
People expressed skepticism on NASA's focus on the

2996
01:48:30,900 --> 01:48:33,040
moon, as it seems to be distracting from

2997
01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:36,480
building a replacement international space station, something that's

2998
01:48:36,480 --> 01:48:39,260
been deemed completely necessary by experts.

2999
01:48:39,820 --> 01:48:41,960
NASA announced this week that it will invest

3000
01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:44,540
$20 billion to build a base on the

3001
01:48:44,540 --> 01:48:47,300
moon, shelving plans to deploy a space station

3002
01:48:47,300 --> 01:48:48,280
in lunar orbit.

3003
01:48:48,580 --> 01:48:51,440
We're trying, we're trying to get back into

3004
01:48:51,440 --> 01:48:51,820
a rhythm.

3005
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:53,060
We're being very transparent.

3006
01:48:53,380 --> 01:48:56,280
The idea is to make the transition the

3007
01:48:56,280 --> 01:48:56,920
right way.

3008
01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:58,720
And we have to put everything out on

3009
01:48:58,720 --> 01:48:59,160
the table.

3010
01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:01,340
People will be watching closely to see how

3011
01:49:01,340 --> 01:49:03,540
things play out on the moon, with Artemis

3012
01:49:03,540 --> 01:49:06,160
2 expected to launch on April 1st.

3013
01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:07,640
I just love that date.

3014
01:49:07,820 --> 01:49:10,020
If someone, if we were in charge of

3015
01:49:10,020 --> 01:49:14,620
stuff, which we'll never be, and someone came

3016
01:49:14,620 --> 01:49:17,100
in and said, oh, hey, hey, bosses, Curry,

3017
01:49:17,180 --> 01:49:20,120
Dvorak, we're going to launch this thing on

3018
01:49:20,120 --> 01:49:20,940
April 1st.

3019
01:49:20,960 --> 01:49:22,200
I think both you and I would be

3020
01:49:22,200 --> 01:49:23,040
like, no, you're not.

3021
01:49:23,580 --> 01:49:23,900
Right.

3022
01:49:24,020 --> 01:49:25,460
You're going to choose a different date.

3023
01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:28,480
Yeah, this is, this is, it's, it would

3024
01:49:28,480 --> 01:49:31,720
be too stupid if you can't make it.

3025
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:33,320
Yeah.

3026
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:34,400
It's an embarrassment.

3027
01:49:35,060 --> 01:49:35,540
Yeah.

3028
01:49:35,780 --> 01:49:39,300
Well, we'll have to see.

3029
01:49:41,260 --> 01:49:43,200
Well, this might be a good one for

3030
01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:46,100
the predictive betting market.

3031
01:49:46,700 --> 01:49:47,180
Yeah.

3032
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:48,640
How much longer is that thing going to

3033
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:49,000
last?

3034
01:49:49,300 --> 01:49:50,480
Will they let this go on forever?

3035
01:49:51,660 --> 01:49:53,880
Well, since this is kind of para-mutual,

3036
01:49:54,200 --> 01:49:55,400
they don't lose money.

3037
01:49:55,940 --> 01:49:58,020
It's like the bets come in from one

3038
01:49:58,020 --> 01:49:59,820
side and then they change the odds, come

3039
01:49:59,820 --> 01:50:01,120
in from the other side, they change the

3040
01:50:01,120 --> 01:50:01,300
odds.

3041
01:50:01,700 --> 01:50:03,120
And then they take the money from the

3042
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:04,740
one side and give it to the other

3043
01:50:04,740 --> 01:50:06,180
side and take a piece of the action

3044
01:50:06,180 --> 01:50:08,160
in the middle and go on forever.

3045
01:50:08,700 --> 01:50:08,800
Right.

3046
01:50:08,900 --> 01:50:11,000
That's why they're just calling it an exchange.

3047
01:50:11,900 --> 01:50:13,160
Yeah, it's an exchange.

3048
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:18,460
The greater, I mean, it should be illegal,

3049
01:50:18,900 --> 01:50:19,320
period.

3050
01:50:19,660 --> 01:50:20,500
Para-mutual.

3051
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:21,860
Why should it be illegal?

3052
01:50:23,780 --> 01:50:25,500
It's encouraging people to gamble.

3053
01:50:25,820 --> 01:50:26,500
Well, yeah.

3054
01:50:26,500 --> 01:50:28,940
This is not healthy for the society.

3055
01:50:30,060 --> 01:50:32,220
Says the man who can barely talk.

3056
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:34,480
Yeah, well, it's beside the point.

3057
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:36,080
It's not healthy for society.

3058
01:50:36,100 --> 01:50:37,820
No, it's not healthy for society.

3059
01:50:38,540 --> 01:50:40,280
Play this Cash Patel clip.

3060
01:50:40,580 --> 01:50:42,860
Oh, yeah, this was a good story.

3061
01:50:43,020 --> 01:50:43,420
Classic.

3062
01:50:43,780 --> 01:50:45,200
Where is Cash?

3063
01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:45,760
Here we go.

3064
01:50:45,900 --> 01:50:49,380
Tonight, cyber warfare unleashed with an Iranian-lead

3065
01:50:49,380 --> 01:50:53,040
group hacking FBI Director Cash Patel's personal email

3066
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:57,100
and posting private messages involving Patel's family and

3067
01:50:57,100 --> 01:50:58,940
photographs of him at a time before he

3068
01:50:58,940 --> 01:50:59,840
became director.

3069
01:51:00,180 --> 01:51:02,140
As this war continues and as the regime

3070
01:51:02,140 --> 01:51:04,740
is under tremendous pressure, it wouldn't surprise me

3071
01:51:04,740 --> 01:51:08,420
to hear that the Iranians are potentially trying

3072
01:51:08,420 --> 01:51:11,320
to take things to an even higher level

3073
01:51:11,320 --> 01:51:12,340
than what they've done already.

3074
01:51:12,580 --> 01:51:15,520
The hack and posting apparently in direct retaliation

3075
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:18,440
for the Justice Department taking down several websites

3076
01:51:18,440 --> 01:51:21,740
associated with the group known as Handala earlier

3077
01:51:21,740 --> 01:51:22,380
this month.

3078
01:51:22,380 --> 01:51:26,000
Tonight, Handala bluntly describing why they targeted Patel,

3079
01:51:26,100 --> 01:51:29,280
quote, while the FBI proudly seized our domains,

3080
01:51:29,480 --> 01:51:32,160
we decided to respond to this ridiculous show

3081
01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:34,440
in a way that will be remembered forever.

3082
01:51:34,680 --> 01:51:37,740
The group claims to have emails, conversations, documents

3083
01:51:37,740 --> 01:51:39,900
and even classified files.

3084
01:51:40,360 --> 01:51:43,060
David, the FBI says the hacked material is

3085
01:51:43,060 --> 01:51:46,520
historical in nature and involves no government information.

3086
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:48,800
And the FBI says the US is offering

3087
01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:52,080
a $10 million reward for information about the

3088
01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:53,080
Handala hackers.

3089
01:51:53,780 --> 01:51:56,340
Yeah, this is a marketing of these Handala

3090
01:51:56,340 --> 01:51:56,840
hackers.

3091
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:00,240
This sounds like, I don't know.

3092
01:52:01,480 --> 01:52:02,860
I mean, what is the point?

3093
01:52:03,720 --> 01:52:05,580
It's an old Gmail, isn't it?

3094
01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:06,820
I don't know.

3095
01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:08,480
Yeah, well, I have a clip and it

3096
01:52:08,480 --> 01:52:09,920
includes our boy Brennan.

3097
01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:11,720
15 past with the breaking news.

3098
01:52:11,940 --> 01:52:13,780
Breaking news, 15 past with the breaking news.

3099
01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:17,120
Now reporting Iran linked hackers are claiming they

3100
01:52:17,120 --> 01:52:19,920
have breached the personal email inbox of FBI

3101
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:21,140
Director Kash Patel.

3102
01:52:21,540 --> 01:52:21,840
Breached.

3103
01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:25,260
Those hackers have published photographs of Patel along

3104
01:52:25,260 --> 01:52:26,540
with his purported resume.

3105
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:28,900
And what appears to be personal.

3106
01:52:29,100 --> 01:52:33,100
I love the pictures, goofy pictures, goofy, stupid

3107
01:52:33,100 --> 01:52:33,740
selfies.

3108
01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:37,080
Correspondence dating between 2010 and 2019.

3109
01:52:37,980 --> 01:52:40,300
But MSNL has not confirmed that any of

3110
01:52:40,300 --> 01:52:41,500
those documents are legitimate.

3111
01:52:41,500 --> 01:52:44,380
And DOJ tells our Carol Lennig they do

3112
01:52:44,380 --> 01:52:46,600
not know the details of this apparent hack.

3113
01:52:47,220 --> 01:52:49,740
Joining us now, former CIA director and MSNL

3114
01:52:49,740 --> 01:52:52,900
senior national security and intelligence analyst John Brennan.

3115
01:52:53,300 --> 01:52:55,120
How concerning is this report?

3116
01:52:55,640 --> 01:52:56,980
And we want to point out the hack

3117
01:52:56,980 --> 01:52:59,040
does not cover his time as FBI director,

3118
01:52:59,180 --> 01:53:00,740
but it does allegedly cover.

3119
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:01,260
Allegedly.

3120
01:53:01,380 --> 01:53:03,420
The time he worked in national security and

3121
01:53:03,420 --> 01:53:04,960
counterterrorism at DOJ.

3122
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:08,260
And depending on how far into 2019, possibly

3123
01:53:08,260 --> 01:53:10,120
his time on the National Security Council.

3124
01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:13,500
Well, Alex, the Iranians have very, very sophisticated

3125
01:53:13,500 --> 01:53:17,000
cyber capabilities, both from the standpoint of collection

3126
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:18,380
as well as disruption.

3127
01:53:19,060 --> 01:53:21,720
And I'm sure that the war ongoing right

3128
01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:24,620
now with Iran has led to an increase

3129
01:53:24,620 --> 01:53:27,840
in their efforts and determination to target a

3130
01:53:27,840 --> 01:53:31,720
number of individuals with their cyber hacks and

3131
01:53:31,720 --> 01:53:32,240
capabilities.

3132
01:53:32,900 --> 01:53:37,600
So, again, I'm unsurprised that the Iranians are

3133
01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:38,780
engaged in such activities.

3134
01:53:38,780 --> 01:53:40,640
We've had to face it for the past

3135
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:42,880
10 or 15 years in terms of what

3136
01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:44,240
the Iranians have been able to do.

3137
01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:46,900
And given that, you know, the FBI director

3138
01:53:46,900 --> 01:53:48,240
is a high profile target.

3139
01:53:48,440 --> 01:53:52,020
And it's, again, not surprising that the Iranians

3140
01:53:52,020 --> 01:53:53,260
would do something like this.

3141
01:53:53,420 --> 01:53:54,940
But again, I have to underscore just how

3142
01:53:54,940 --> 01:53:58,380
sophisticated the Iranians have become and their ability

3143
01:53:58,380 --> 01:53:59,840
to do things like this.

3144
01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:02,980
He's not wrong about that.

3145
01:54:03,140 --> 01:54:04,880
No, but Brennan's a dud.

3146
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:07,840
I mean, is anyone watching Ms. Now?

3147
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:09,260
Have you seen any ratings?

3148
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:10,760
Does that thing work?

3149
01:54:11,500 --> 01:54:12,720
It can't be good.

3150
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:14,040
I don't think so either.

3151
01:54:14,300 --> 01:54:15,440
They're going after...

3152
01:54:15,440 --> 01:54:19,080
They're trying to buy the Vox podcast network.

3153
01:54:19,860 --> 01:54:21,380
Ooh, that'll do it.

3154
01:54:21,640 --> 01:54:24,060
Well, what I think is kind of fun

3155
01:54:24,060 --> 01:54:29,460
about that is we had Prof. G., Scott

3156
01:54:29,460 --> 01:54:33,900
Galloway, touting with Karen...

3157
01:54:33,900 --> 01:54:34,380
Karen.

3158
01:54:34,500 --> 01:54:35,120
What's her new name?

3159
01:54:38,620 --> 01:54:39,580
With Karen Swisher.

3160
01:54:40,500 --> 01:54:42,340
No, no, we're going to sell this show.

3161
01:54:42,620 --> 01:54:44,860
We're going to, you know, they were in

3162
01:54:44,860 --> 01:54:47,900
negotiations, I think, with Vox.

3163
01:54:48,660 --> 01:54:50,340
How do you sell a show like that?

3164
01:54:50,580 --> 01:54:51,280
Well, they didn't.

3165
01:54:51,380 --> 01:54:52,220
That was the whole point.

3166
01:54:52,300 --> 01:54:53,220
It was like, this is hundreds...

3167
01:54:53,220 --> 01:54:54,840
This is kind of back a little bit

3168
01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:56,260
after the Spotify days.

3169
01:54:56,380 --> 01:54:58,160
And Rogan, like, oh, we're going to be

3170
01:54:58,160 --> 01:54:59,800
100 millionaires from this show.

3171
01:55:00,100 --> 01:55:01,820
He was showing charts where he could make

3172
01:55:01,820 --> 01:55:03,780
a billion dollars on advertising.

3173
01:55:03,780 --> 01:55:07,040
And he hired 35 people for the Prof.

3174
01:55:07,180 --> 01:55:07,400
G.

3175
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:10,340
experience for all of his podcasts.

3176
01:55:10,580 --> 01:55:13,080
And now they're getting wrapped up in a

3177
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:14,340
sale to...

3178
01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:17,260
Gosh, who was it?

3179
01:55:17,260 --> 01:55:19,240
Who was it that was going to buy

3180
01:55:19,240 --> 01:55:19,740
this?

3181
01:55:21,660 --> 01:55:22,740
Are they part of a network?

3182
01:55:26,420 --> 01:55:28,540
Yeah, they're part of the Vox Media Network.

3183
01:55:31,320 --> 01:55:32,780
Oh, I did not know that.

3184
01:55:33,020 --> 01:55:33,800
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

3185
01:55:33,920 --> 01:55:34,560
Let me see.

3186
01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:35,060
It was...

3187
01:55:35,900 --> 01:55:37,260
Oh, so you're going to get nothing.

3188
01:55:37,900 --> 01:55:39,020
No, of course not.

3189
01:55:40,700 --> 01:55:42,620
And how can you even sell it?

3190
01:55:42,620 --> 01:55:44,640
We know what a podcast network is worth.

3191
01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:45,200
It's nothing.

3192
01:55:46,520 --> 01:55:47,140
So, okay.

3193
01:55:47,540 --> 01:55:49,520
So, Vox Media.

3194
01:55:49,700 --> 01:55:50,400
Oh, this is it.

3195
01:55:50,460 --> 01:55:50,640
Yeah.

3196
01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:51,980
So, Vox Media.

3197
01:55:52,140 --> 01:55:54,940
Initially, they had said, okay, we're putting it

3198
01:55:54,940 --> 01:55:55,620
up for sale.

3199
01:55:57,720 --> 01:55:59,480
And then they said, no, no, no, we're

3200
01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:00,580
not selling anything.

3201
01:56:01,060 --> 01:56:02,800
But then Versant comes along.

3202
01:56:02,900 --> 01:56:03,440
Do you know what...

3203
01:56:03,440 --> 01:56:04,580
Do you remember Versant?

3204
01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:05,780
Yep.

3205
01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:14,140
That's the spin-off company that includes MSNOW

3206
01:56:14,140 --> 01:56:15,000
and CNBC.

3207
01:56:15,300 --> 01:56:16,240
And they want...

3208
01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:18,420
Versant is saying, we want to have at

3209
01:56:18,420 --> 01:56:22,280
least 40% non-traditional content within the

3210
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:23,840
next two years that they're going to buy.

3211
01:56:25,660 --> 01:56:26,900
That's a dud.

3212
01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:30,940
You can't make money off of a podcast

3213
01:56:30,940 --> 01:56:31,560
network.

3214
01:56:31,560 --> 01:56:34,120
Spotify put a billion dollars into it and

3215
01:56:34,120 --> 01:56:34,500
failed.

3216
01:56:36,420 --> 01:56:38,100
You know who they didn't call?

3217
01:56:39,540 --> 01:56:40,720
Just for advice.

3218
01:56:41,800 --> 01:56:41,960
Yeah.

3219
01:56:42,020 --> 01:56:43,780
The Curry Divorce Consulting Group.

3220
01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:44,000
Yeah.

3221
01:56:44,220 --> 01:56:46,680
You never get called for anything.

3222
01:56:47,180 --> 01:56:48,820
I never get called for anything.

3223
01:56:49,500 --> 01:56:56,140
We're outliers with experience and good judgment, but...

3224
01:56:56,140 --> 01:56:57,620
And we're handsome.

3225
01:56:58,080 --> 01:56:59,180
We're quite handsome.

3226
01:57:02,080 --> 01:57:03,180
And nobody cares.

3227
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:04,280
Nobody cares.

3228
01:57:04,740 --> 01:57:06,400
Well, those who are last will be first.

3229
01:57:06,520 --> 01:57:07,720
The least will get the most.

3230
01:57:07,900 --> 01:57:09,120
That is what I've always understood.

3231
01:57:09,260 --> 01:57:10,280
And with that, I want to thank you

3232
01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:10,960
for your courage.

3233
01:57:11,040 --> 01:57:12,140
Say in the morning to you, the man

3234
01:57:12,140 --> 01:57:13,840
who put the sea and cut down the

3235
01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:14,100
middle.

3236
01:57:14,520 --> 01:57:15,780
Say hello to my friend on the other

3237
01:57:15,780 --> 01:57:15,980
end.

3238
01:57:16,060 --> 01:57:16,720
He's still alive.

3239
01:57:16,820 --> 01:57:18,400
Mr. John C.

3240
01:57:19,860 --> 01:57:20,180
DeMorais.

3241
01:57:20,220 --> 01:57:21,780
Well, in the morning, Mr. Adam Curry.

3242
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:23,260
Also, in the morning, all ships and sea

3243
01:57:23,260 --> 01:57:24,420
boots on the ground, feet in the air.

3244
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:26,680
Subs in the water and all the dames

3245
01:57:26,680 --> 01:57:28,420
and knights out there.

3246
01:57:28,420 --> 01:57:29,880
In the morning to the trolls in the

3247
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:30,280
troll room.

3248
01:57:30,620 --> 01:57:31,200
Oh, there we go.

3249
01:57:33,960 --> 01:57:34,640
That's better.

3250
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:36,600
18.06 today at the peak of our

3251
01:57:36,600 --> 01:57:39,160
trollage, which is much better for a Sunday.

3252
01:57:39,520 --> 01:57:41,540
I think people thought you were dead.

3253
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:43,240
And like, well, we're going to give up.

3254
01:57:43,300 --> 01:57:44,240
Who wants to hear Curry?

3255
01:57:44,860 --> 01:57:47,800
Give a crap about Curry.

3256
01:57:48,340 --> 01:57:49,540
Oh, he's back.

3257
01:57:49,700 --> 01:57:50,100
Okay.

3258
01:57:50,320 --> 01:57:51,840
Well, we might as well tune in again.

3259
01:57:53,100 --> 01:57:57,180
Well, you're getting you're getting a product, which

3260
01:57:57,180 --> 01:57:59,640
we find to be a quite outstanding product

3261
01:57:59,640 --> 01:58:02,700
from people who are not swayed by popular

3262
01:58:02,700 --> 01:58:05,360
opinion, are not captured by an audience who

3263
01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:07,740
tells them that you better, you better be

3264
01:58:07,740 --> 01:58:09,200
criticizing people more.

3265
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:12,400
We've identified this is we have to wait.

3266
01:58:12,460 --> 01:58:15,360
There's another guy besides the one you're talking

3267
01:58:15,360 --> 01:58:15,620
about.

3268
01:58:15,740 --> 01:58:17,480
So, you know, you're not critical enough.

3269
01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:19,280
He should just be grousing about everything.

3270
01:58:19,280 --> 01:58:21,320
I mean, you don't think I grouse enough.

3271
01:58:21,800 --> 01:58:22,260
Okay.

3272
01:58:22,580 --> 01:58:23,540
No, but you have to be more of

3273
01:58:23,540 --> 01:58:24,040
an activist.

3274
01:58:24,320 --> 01:58:25,100
That's what he said.

3275
01:58:25,260 --> 01:58:27,620
And the other one is activism.

3276
01:58:27,980 --> 01:58:29,100
Yeah, activist.

3277
01:58:30,640 --> 01:58:33,140
Let's push some some, you know, people don't

3278
01:58:33,140 --> 01:58:36,340
realize we we don't have an agenda in

3279
01:58:36,340 --> 01:58:39,940
regards to pushing these things, but we're not

3280
01:58:39,940 --> 01:58:40,360
pushing.

3281
01:58:40,500 --> 01:58:41,620
We don't push anything.

3282
01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:44,540
But here's what here's the problem.

3283
01:58:44,540 --> 01:58:47,620
It's for some reason always focuses on me,

3284
01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:49,720
which I don't know, maybe it's the right

3285
01:58:49,720 --> 01:58:49,900
thing.

3286
01:58:50,140 --> 01:58:50,800
I can't spell my name.

3287
01:58:51,360 --> 01:58:56,660
Well, no, but when we analyze something that

3288
01:58:56,660 --> 01:59:00,020
President Trump does, then we're licking his ass

3289
01:59:00,020 --> 01:59:02,100
because we say, well, I think he's right.

3290
01:59:02,240 --> 01:59:03,360
Oh, you what?

3291
01:59:03,440 --> 01:59:04,400
You're not critical.

3292
01:59:05,460 --> 01:59:06,440
You're all in.

3293
01:59:06,580 --> 01:59:08,620
How many shekels did you get for that?

3294
01:59:09,110 --> 01:59:11,520
You know, so when we're not because we

3295
01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:15,960
just don't agree with the the narrative and

3296
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:19,400
there's pushback coming on all these podcasters, people

3297
01:59:19,400 --> 01:59:20,820
are getting tired of it.

3298
01:59:21,500 --> 01:59:22,920
They're tired of it.

3299
01:59:22,940 --> 01:59:25,500
They want they want they want just the

3300
01:59:25,500 --> 01:59:28,580
just an actual opinion from somebody and not.

3301
01:59:29,040 --> 01:59:29,520
All right.

3302
01:59:29,900 --> 01:59:30,660
Yeah, I bought it.

3303
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:31,780
Let me go on your podcast.

3304
01:59:33,020 --> 01:59:35,480
Even I guess even Joe Rogan's kind of

3305
01:59:35,480 --> 01:59:40,060
falling forward now a little bit.

3306
01:59:40,060 --> 01:59:42,700
Yeah, I mean, he's but he doesn't go

3307
01:59:42,700 --> 01:59:43,920
on everybody's podcast.

3308
01:59:44,100 --> 01:59:45,800
No, no, no, no.

3309
01:59:45,820 --> 01:59:49,480
These these merry go round podcasts.

3310
01:59:49,720 --> 01:59:50,640
You go on mine.

3311
01:59:50,740 --> 01:59:51,300
I go on yours.

3312
01:59:51,400 --> 01:59:51,940
You're on his.

3313
01:59:52,020 --> 01:59:52,880
And then he goes on mine.

3314
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:53,600
And I go on yours.

3315
01:59:53,920 --> 01:59:55,800
And you around, around, around they go.

3316
01:59:55,980 --> 01:59:57,480
Yeah, where they stop.

3317
01:59:57,880 --> 01:59:59,120
Yeah, nobody knows.

3318
01:59:59,320 --> 02:00:01,760
We're not part of any of these clicks.

3319
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:03,220
No, we're not.

3320
02:00:03,820 --> 02:00:05,600
That's how I should have clipped that.

3321
02:00:06,360 --> 02:00:09,580
Reverend Franklin Graham said podcasts are a problem.

3322
02:00:10,580 --> 02:00:11,940
I got to get that clip.

3323
02:00:13,040 --> 02:00:15,380
He was complaining about the was he referring

3324
02:00:15,380 --> 02:00:15,740
to?

3325
02:00:16,180 --> 02:00:18,520
Oh, the podcast that are saying that that

3326
02:00:18,520 --> 02:00:20,080
Israel is bad and the Jews are to

3327
02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:20,860
blame for everything.

3328
02:00:21,380 --> 02:00:22,100
Oh, yeah, they do.

3329
02:00:22,280 --> 02:00:23,380
Yeah, exactly.

3330
02:00:24,280 --> 02:00:24,600
Yeah.

3331
02:00:24,760 --> 02:00:26,520
And, you know, now Tucker is he's got

3332
02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:30,360
a documentary and I've got Bibi Netanyahu and

3333
02:00:30,360 --> 02:00:32,460
his wife and they're horrible and they're corrupt,

3334
02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:33,640
which is probably true.

3335
02:00:33,980 --> 02:00:35,280
But who cares?

3336
02:00:36,300 --> 02:00:41,540
Like, OK, maybe 15 minutes of discussion.

3337
02:00:42,260 --> 02:00:42,940
Yeah, who cares?

3338
02:00:43,240 --> 02:00:43,820
It's true.

3339
02:00:44,140 --> 02:00:44,840
Who cares?

3340
02:00:46,920 --> 02:00:49,920
Anyway, the trolls are listening at no agenda

3341
02:00:49,920 --> 02:00:50,920
stream dot com.

3342
02:00:51,300 --> 02:00:53,300
That's I will say, and I've actually talked

3343
02:00:53,300 --> 02:00:55,520
with, you know, Dave Jones, my buddy, who

3344
02:00:55,520 --> 02:00:58,160
is this nicest, calmest guy?

3345
02:00:58,280 --> 02:00:59,600
They call him the pod sage.

3346
02:01:00,620 --> 02:01:03,340
And we do the like a board meeting

3347
02:01:03,340 --> 02:01:04,120
every Friday.

3348
02:01:04,620 --> 02:01:07,620
We talk about podcasting 2.0 and, you

3349
02:01:07,620 --> 02:01:09,900
know, we have developers on the audience is

3350
02:01:09,900 --> 02:01:10,920
like 500 people.

3351
02:01:11,100 --> 02:01:13,440
It's it's it's not meant for any other

3352
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:15,940
consumption outside of what we're doing.

3353
02:01:15,940 --> 02:01:18,300
And out of that group comes, you know,

3354
02:01:18,320 --> 02:01:21,940
new features like transcripts and chapters and all

3355
02:01:21,940 --> 02:01:23,300
this stuff that you're seeing now.

3356
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:25,060
The big boys are implementing, which is the

3357
02:01:25,060 --> 02:01:26,540
whole that was the whole point.

3358
02:01:27,160 --> 02:01:29,140
Podcasting had stagnated for a decade.

3359
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:31,960
We get we started we started up and

3360
02:01:31,960 --> 02:01:32,740
things are working.

3361
02:01:32,740 --> 02:01:33,480
OK, so great.

3362
02:01:34,120 --> 02:01:37,300
And even he is getting snark.

3363
02:01:38,440 --> 02:01:40,040
People just and it's.

3364
02:01:40,860 --> 02:01:42,400
It's older millennials.

3365
02:01:43,960 --> 02:01:46,760
Maybe some Gen X, there's something going on

3366
02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:49,600
and and people feel like they can just

3367
02:01:50,120 --> 02:01:53,260
lash out and and say whatever they want

3368
02:01:53,260 --> 02:01:54,340
to a podcaster.

3369
02:01:56,020 --> 02:01:58,860
You haven't noticed this because no one knows

3370
02:01:58,860 --> 02:01:59,540
where to find you.

3371
02:01:59,660 --> 02:02:00,180
You're in hiding.

3372
02:02:00,940 --> 02:02:01,420
But.

3373
02:02:04,360 --> 02:02:07,000
There's something going, there's something in the air

3374
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:09,500
where people just they just want to say,

3375
02:02:09,620 --> 02:02:10,160
you suck.

3376
02:02:11,080 --> 02:02:13,340
You know, people want to say you suck.

3377
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:14,860
That's pretty much it.

3378
02:02:15,100 --> 02:02:15,880
You suck.

3379
02:02:16,380 --> 02:02:16,540
Yeah.

3380
02:02:17,180 --> 02:02:18,860
So the troll room, there's a lot of

3381
02:02:18,860 --> 02:02:19,100
that.

3382
02:02:19,140 --> 02:02:20,780
But actually, today has not been too bad.

3383
02:02:21,740 --> 02:02:22,780
Now they are trolls.

3384
02:02:22,860 --> 02:02:24,360
So it's to be expected here.

3385
02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:26,740
Obviously, no agenda stream dot com.

3386
02:02:26,820 --> 02:02:28,300
And of course, we have the modern podcast

3387
02:02:28,300 --> 02:02:28,560
apps.

3388
02:02:28,560 --> 02:02:29,500
We're just talking about it.

3389
02:02:29,500 --> 02:02:31,200
One of the great features they have is

3390
02:02:31,200 --> 02:02:32,940
live live podcasts.

3391
02:02:32,940 --> 02:02:35,140
When you go live and you're recording live,

3392
02:02:35,700 --> 02:02:37,800
the podcast app that you use to listen

3393
02:02:37,800 --> 02:02:40,980
to your your podcast whenever whenever you feel

3394
02:02:40,980 --> 02:02:42,520
like it will give you an alert.

3395
02:02:42,660 --> 02:02:44,000
So if you want to, you can join

3396
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:45,180
in live and listen to it.

3397
02:02:45,580 --> 02:02:49,100
And these things also have pod ping technology.

3398
02:02:49,320 --> 02:02:52,380
So within 90 seconds of updating the podcast

3399
02:02:52,380 --> 02:02:53,980
and releasing it, you'll get notified.

3400
02:02:54,560 --> 02:02:56,780
We are a value for value podcast.

3401
02:02:56,780 --> 02:03:01,720
And that means that there's no subscriptions.

3402
02:03:02,340 --> 02:03:03,740
There's no advertising.

3403
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:05,040
There's no paywall.

3404
02:03:05,320 --> 02:03:07,660
No, we we give you everything up front

3405
02:03:07,660 --> 02:03:08,200
and center.

3406
02:03:08,700 --> 02:03:10,160
What you see is what you get.

3407
02:03:10,260 --> 02:03:11,660
And if you get value out of it,

3408
02:03:11,660 --> 02:03:13,180
then we would like to hear back from

3409
02:03:13,180 --> 02:03:13,400
you.

3410
02:03:13,700 --> 02:03:15,080
And you can do that with your time,

3411
02:03:15,200 --> 02:03:16,420
your talent or your treasure.

3412
02:03:16,680 --> 02:03:18,440
And one of the ways people help us

3413
02:03:18,440 --> 02:03:21,320
is by its production, because everyone who listens

3414
02:03:21,320 --> 02:03:24,180
to the show is by definition a producer.

3415
02:03:25,400 --> 02:03:26,980
So let me take a look here.

3416
02:03:27,020 --> 02:03:30,400
We had episode 1854.

3417
02:03:31,120 --> 02:03:32,620
Rackout was the title of that.

3418
02:03:32,740 --> 02:03:33,220
You really had.

3419
02:03:33,280 --> 02:03:35,940
Oh, we use the the art, which was

3420
02:03:35,940 --> 02:03:37,980
kind of cool by Nessworks.

3421
02:03:39,100 --> 02:03:42,580
And he had a gas pump premium podcast

3422
02:03:42,580 --> 02:03:44,600
only man.

3423
02:03:45,040 --> 02:03:47,440
It doesn't happen often that you get a

3424
02:03:47,440 --> 02:03:49,320
lot of email about one topic that you

3425
02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:50,100
don't expect.

3426
02:03:51,220 --> 02:03:53,800
Premium versus regular was the one.

3427
02:03:54,760 --> 02:03:56,880
Did you get emails about this?

3428
02:03:57,700 --> 02:03:59,660
I also have a mea culpa.

3429
02:04:00,220 --> 02:04:01,600
Oh, well, let me explain.

3430
02:04:01,700 --> 02:04:04,560
First, we were talking about the difference between

3431
02:04:04,560 --> 02:04:06,740
premium and regular.

3432
02:04:06,900 --> 02:04:08,820
So high octane, lower octane.

3433
02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:11,460
And I asked, I said, well, is this

3434
02:04:11,460 --> 02:04:12,080
a scam?

3435
02:04:12,700 --> 02:04:14,680
Am I just paying for this stuff when

3436
02:04:14,680 --> 02:04:15,600
I don't have to?

3437
02:04:16,240 --> 02:04:18,860
And a lot of people said, oh, yeah,

3438
02:04:19,260 --> 02:04:19,980
you're crazy.

3439
02:04:19,980 --> 02:04:22,900
Unless you have a high end, high compression

3440
02:04:22,900 --> 02:04:25,540
automobile, there's no need for it.

3441
02:04:26,460 --> 02:04:28,220
I'm generalizing, but that's kind of what I

3442
02:04:28,220 --> 02:04:28,660
got back.

3443
02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:30,740
And of course, the tip of the day

3444
02:04:30,740 --> 02:04:34,000
was always fill up your rental car with

3445
02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:36,480
the lowest octane possible when you return it.

3446
02:04:36,820 --> 02:04:38,220
That to me was the tip of the

3447
02:04:38,220 --> 02:04:38,380
day.

3448
02:04:38,500 --> 02:04:40,700
Like, ah, obviously, that's what we got to

3449
02:04:40,700 --> 02:04:41,060
do there.

3450
02:04:44,780 --> 02:04:46,260
Well, a couple of things.

3451
02:04:47,480 --> 02:04:50,980
I'll defend the petroleum industry and say these

3452
02:04:50,980 --> 02:04:52,680
things are all based on knock engines in

3453
02:04:52,680 --> 02:04:53,100
your engine.

3454
02:04:53,340 --> 02:04:55,240
If you want to use lower grade fuel

3455
02:04:55,240 --> 02:04:56,980
and let your engine knock once in a

3456
02:04:56,980 --> 02:04:59,300
while, OK, good for you.

3457
02:04:59,720 --> 02:05:01,880
It's going to hurt and damage the engine

3458
02:05:01,880 --> 02:05:02,460
over time.

3459
02:05:02,980 --> 02:05:06,660
But I use premium fuel because I drive

3460
02:05:06,660 --> 02:05:07,300
a Lexus.

3461
02:05:07,440 --> 02:05:10,140
Old one, 20 year old, but still.

3462
02:05:11,260 --> 02:05:15,620
The second thing is, this is my fault.

3463
02:05:15,620 --> 02:05:19,180
I talked about the low sulfur diesel and

3464
02:05:19,180 --> 02:05:21,140
I kind of conflated it with the stupid

3465
02:05:21,140 --> 02:05:23,300
blend that we have in California for gasoline,

3466
02:05:23,520 --> 02:05:25,220
which is special to California.

3467
02:05:25,660 --> 02:05:26,760
And I said it's going to take over

3468
02:05:26,760 --> 02:05:27,940
the whole country, blah, blah, blah.

3469
02:05:28,280 --> 02:05:31,080
No, it's a federal low sulfur diesel.

3470
02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:33,460
As one of the producers pointed out, it's

3471
02:05:33,460 --> 02:05:36,040
the diesels, the diesel everywhere.

3472
02:05:36,100 --> 02:05:37,680
And it's really expensive.

3473
02:05:38,080 --> 02:05:39,420
So that can be changed at a federal

3474
02:05:39,420 --> 02:05:39,780
level.

3475
02:05:39,820 --> 02:05:41,880
How come President Trump doesn't change this?

3476
02:05:42,360 --> 02:05:43,360
What's he going to do?

3477
02:05:43,360 --> 02:05:46,100
Just tell him to stop, let the sulfur

3478
02:05:46,100 --> 02:05:46,660
free.

3479
02:05:47,560 --> 02:05:50,200
No, I think they've gotten used to this

3480
02:05:50,200 --> 02:05:50,820
blend.

3481
02:05:51,300 --> 02:05:51,960
It's better.

3482
02:05:53,040 --> 02:05:55,380
The high sulfur diesels make a mess.

3483
02:05:56,720 --> 02:05:58,280
It's probably a better product.

3484
02:05:58,780 --> 02:06:00,620
Well, we got the farm diesel here.

3485
02:06:00,780 --> 02:06:01,740
All the good old boys.

3486
02:06:01,880 --> 02:06:04,320
They put that farm diesel in their pickup

3487
02:06:04,320 --> 02:06:06,600
trucks and they roll coal along the road.

3488
02:06:07,620 --> 02:06:10,160
You can always tell like, oh, you got

3489
02:06:10,160 --> 02:06:10,700
farm diesel.

3490
02:06:10,700 --> 02:06:14,960
So thanks to Nestworks for bringing us that

3491
02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:15,680
artwork.

3492
02:06:15,880 --> 02:06:17,140
There were a couple other things that we

3493
02:06:17,140 --> 02:06:17,720
looked at.

3494
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:22,340
I think we can kind of move past

3495
02:06:22,340 --> 02:06:23,660
the hospital art.

3496
02:06:23,820 --> 02:06:25,780
I think John is no longer in the

3497
02:06:25,780 --> 02:06:26,140
hospital.

3498
02:06:28,020 --> 02:06:31,880
You kind of liked Dan OBGYN 4's slot

3499
02:06:31,880 --> 02:06:32,560
machine.

3500
02:06:33,440 --> 02:06:34,400
Yeah, I did.

3501
02:06:34,500 --> 02:06:35,500
I think it's an evergreen.

3502
02:06:35,620 --> 02:06:36,280
I might use it.

3503
02:06:36,280 --> 02:06:37,600
Possible evergreen.

3504
02:06:39,060 --> 02:06:41,500
Scaramanga's homemade missile on the surfboard was kind

3505
02:06:41,500 --> 02:06:42,140
of cute.

3506
02:06:44,220 --> 02:06:45,960
A lot of ship stuff.

3507
02:06:48,140 --> 02:06:51,080
So I think Nestworks kind of nailed it.

3508
02:06:51,260 --> 02:06:52,440
Premium podcast only.

3509
02:06:52,580 --> 02:06:52,840
It was good.

3510
02:06:52,920 --> 02:06:53,300
We liked it.

3511
02:06:53,300 --> 02:06:54,720
You actually liked it a lot because you

3512
02:06:54,720 --> 02:06:56,760
felt that it was not, you know, a

3513
02:06:56,760 --> 02:06:58,040
big AI effort.

3514
02:06:58,260 --> 02:07:01,720
Well, Nestworks is not necessarily an AI effort

3515
02:07:01,720 --> 02:07:02,380
type of guy.

3516
02:07:02,580 --> 02:07:04,340
So yeah, I did like that.

3517
02:07:04,500 --> 02:07:05,300
I thought that was good.

3518
02:07:06,380 --> 02:07:11,080
So we thank you for your courage, Nestworks.

3519
02:07:11,140 --> 02:07:13,860
And we thank everybody who participates at noagendaartgenerator

3520
02:07:13,860 --> 02:07:14,440
.com.

3521
02:07:14,740 --> 02:07:16,480
So it is time, talent, and treasure.

3522
02:07:16,940 --> 02:07:18,820
Again, the idea is you get value out

3523
02:07:18,820 --> 02:07:19,280
of this show.

3524
02:07:19,380 --> 02:07:20,340
You like the analysis.

3525
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:21,540
You thought it was worthwhile.

3526
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:22,800
You'd like it to continue.

3527
02:07:23,600 --> 02:07:25,420
You've got one man on his deathbed.

3528
02:07:25,500 --> 02:07:27,420
He's dialing in from his deathbed.

3529
02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:29,320
You might, that might be valuable to you

3530
02:07:29,320 --> 02:07:30,400
to have your show.

3531
02:07:31,780 --> 02:07:33,520
All you have to do is send that

3532
02:07:33,520 --> 02:07:34,440
value back to us.

3533
02:07:34,440 --> 02:07:35,840
We can't determine what that is.

3534
02:07:35,880 --> 02:07:36,500
That's up to you.

3535
02:07:36,580 --> 02:07:38,420
We don't know what value, what is valuable

3536
02:07:38,420 --> 02:07:38,960
to you.

3537
02:07:39,360 --> 02:07:41,960
So you go to noagendadonations.com and you

3538
02:07:41,960 --> 02:07:43,340
send us some value.

3539
02:07:44,300 --> 02:07:46,600
Now we're going to thank everybody $50 and

3540
02:07:46,600 --> 02:07:47,660
above in one segment.

3541
02:07:47,940 --> 02:07:49,920
And we start with our executive and associate

3542
02:07:49,920 --> 02:07:50,800
executive producers.

3543
02:07:50,900 --> 02:07:52,880
These are people who get an extra benefit

3544
02:07:52,880 --> 02:07:55,580
because they are able to support us with

3545
02:07:55,580 --> 02:07:56,920
$200 or more.

3546
02:07:57,200 --> 02:07:59,020
And that means not only do you read

3547
02:07:59,020 --> 02:08:01,680
your note guaranteed, but we also give you

3548
02:08:01,680 --> 02:08:04,020
an associate executive producer credit, which is good

3549
02:08:04,020 --> 02:08:05,800
anywhere Hollywood credits are recognized.

3550
02:08:06,060 --> 02:08:07,680
And it's a real one because you did

3551
02:08:07,680 --> 02:08:10,580
exactly what executive and associate executive producers do,

3552
02:08:10,640 --> 02:08:12,400
which is help finance the product.

3553
02:08:12,940 --> 02:08:13,980
$300 or above.

3554
02:08:14,160 --> 02:08:15,300
And it's the same deal.

3555
02:08:15,340 --> 02:08:17,140
Only then you become an executive producer.

3556
02:08:17,240 --> 02:08:18,440
And both of these can be used at

3557
02:08:18,440 --> 02:08:20,060
imdb.com.

3558
02:08:21,700 --> 02:08:23,660
Are we going to do this Knight of

3559
02:08:23,660 --> 02:08:24,720
the Heart order?

3560
02:08:24,940 --> 02:08:26,320
What is the deal there?

3561
02:08:26,340 --> 02:08:27,640
Yeah, I got Paul Couture working on the

3562
02:08:27,640 --> 02:08:31,040
art for a pin, a special pin.

3563
02:08:31,380 --> 02:08:31,700
Yeah.

3564
02:08:32,220 --> 02:08:33,500
That you put on your lapel.

3565
02:08:33,920 --> 02:08:34,480
Yeah, it's going to be.

3566
02:08:34,540 --> 02:08:35,800
Yeah, it's going to be the red knight

3567
02:08:35,800 --> 02:08:37,420
and we're going to roll it out on

3568
02:08:37,420 --> 02:08:37,920
my birthday.

3569
02:08:38,900 --> 02:08:40,480
It's the order of the red knight.

3570
02:08:41,840 --> 02:08:43,760
It's no, you're, you are a red knight.

3571
02:08:43,860 --> 02:08:45,280
It's the order of the red of the

3572
02:08:45,280 --> 02:08:47,100
order of the heart or the red heart.

3573
02:08:47,300 --> 02:08:47,620
Okay.

3574
02:08:47,720 --> 02:08:49,220
And, and wait a minute, your birthday is

3575
02:08:49,220 --> 02:08:50,480
when, isn't that coming up soon?

3576
02:08:50,480 --> 02:08:51,240
Like next week?

3577
02:08:51,340 --> 02:08:51,600
Yeah.

3578
02:08:51,620 --> 02:08:52,480
Like the 5th.

3579
02:08:52,580 --> 02:08:53,380
The 5th of April.

3580
02:08:56,960 --> 02:08:59,280
He said, I don't know what happened there.

3581
02:08:59,840 --> 02:09:02,640
Well, coming in as, sorry about that.

3582
02:09:02,740 --> 02:09:05,460
Coming in as our top executive producer for

3583
02:09:05,460 --> 02:09:07,700
today, saving the entire show.

3584
02:09:08,260 --> 02:09:08,500
Yes.

3585
02:09:08,700 --> 02:09:09,000
Yes.

3586
02:09:09,020 --> 02:09:11,260
It was a very poor showing today, except

3587
02:09:11,260 --> 02:09:13,400
for a couple of checks that came in.

3588
02:09:13,580 --> 02:09:17,260
Well, Dame Catherine, she is the crypto granny

3589
02:09:17,260 --> 02:09:21,120
of Bangkok, came in with a, in, in

3590
02:09:21,120 --> 02:09:24,240
Bitcoin, a whopping $5,000.

3591
02:09:25,480 --> 02:09:29,260
And she says, John, thank you for not

3592
02:09:29,260 --> 02:09:29,940
dying.

3593
02:09:30,600 --> 02:09:31,360
We need you.

3594
02:09:31,820 --> 02:09:33,160
I think you got to pull this gambit

3595
02:09:33,160 --> 02:09:33,660
more often.

3596
02:09:33,760 --> 02:09:34,500
What can you do next?

3597
02:09:34,700 --> 02:09:36,760
Like I don't think I believe it's not

3598
02:09:36,760 --> 02:09:37,460
worth the trouble.

3599
02:09:37,760 --> 02:09:40,200
Kidney stones do something.

3600
02:09:41,600 --> 02:09:43,500
Uh, Adam, you're a rock.

3601
02:09:43,920 --> 02:09:47,320
You kept your head about you and, uh,

3602
02:09:47,320 --> 02:09:47,740
hold on one.

3603
02:09:47,800 --> 02:09:48,660
Let me expand this.

3604
02:09:49,200 --> 02:09:52,380
Uh, and soldiered on Bravo Mimi.

3605
02:09:52,380 --> 02:09:54,940
Thank you for filling in during John's medical

3606
02:09:54,940 --> 02:09:55,460
adventure.

3607
02:09:55,780 --> 02:09:57,760
Hope this helps with the medical bills.

3608
02:09:57,800 --> 02:09:58,300
It will.

3609
02:09:58,980 --> 02:10:00,940
I'm grateful to be a hodler since the

3610
02:10:00,940 --> 02:10:01,620
early days.

3611
02:10:01,760 --> 02:10:04,000
I must give thanks to Max Kaiser to

3612
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:04,680
the moon.

3613
02:10:05,080 --> 02:10:07,160
And she ends up by saying, being rich

3614
02:10:07,160 --> 02:10:08,880
is having enough to share with others.

3615
02:10:09,000 --> 02:10:11,760
She is Dame Catherine, the crypto granny of

3616
02:10:11,760 --> 02:10:12,180
Bangkok.

3617
02:10:12,460 --> 02:10:14,140
And we thank you so much, Dame Catherine.

3618
02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:16,320
That was whatever happened to Max Kaiser.

3619
02:10:16,600 --> 02:10:18,580
They're all living in El Salvador now.

3620
02:10:19,440 --> 02:10:20,220
Oh, really?

3621
02:10:20,220 --> 02:10:21,920
You know who else is moving to El

3622
02:10:21,920 --> 02:10:22,300
Salvador?

3623
02:10:23,280 --> 02:10:24,120
Texas Slim.

3624
02:10:25,100 --> 02:10:27,220
He is now, he is a fish by

3625
02:10:27,220 --> 02:10:31,620
presidential appointment in charge of all beef agriculture

3626
02:10:31,620 --> 02:10:32,480
of El Salvador.

3627
02:10:35,240 --> 02:10:35,700
Wow.

3628
02:10:36,020 --> 02:10:38,660
You know, I had an El Salvadorian, uh,

3629
02:10:38,740 --> 02:10:41,340
that I met with the, in the hospital.

3630
02:10:42,640 --> 02:10:44,160
He was just one of the, one of

3631
02:10:44,160 --> 02:10:48,240
the guys who, uh, they called, uh, transport.

3632
02:10:48,240 --> 02:10:49,900
They drag you around and you need to

3633
02:10:49,900 --> 02:10:51,640
keep you in your bed and they roll

3634
02:10:51,640 --> 02:10:52,540
you all over the place.

3635
02:10:53,060 --> 02:10:54,660
And, uh, I had a long chat with

3636
02:10:54,660 --> 02:10:54,820
him.

3637
02:10:55,160 --> 02:10:57,960
He says, he says, El Salvador has become

3638
02:10:57,960 --> 02:10:58,960
the greatest place ever.

3639
02:10:58,980 --> 02:11:01,000
When he was a kid that you couldn't

3640
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:01,600
go outside.

3641
02:11:01,720 --> 02:11:02,500
They'd shoot you.

3642
02:11:02,540 --> 02:11:02,640
Yeah.

3643
02:11:02,660 --> 02:11:04,220
You got rousted or kills.

3644
02:11:04,340 --> 02:11:04,800
I know.

3645
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:07,740
Well, this, that's the, uh, that's Bukele.

3646
02:11:08,260 --> 02:11:10,140
And he says that the guy, this president,

3647
02:11:10,240 --> 02:11:10,960
the guy's running it.

3648
02:11:11,240 --> 02:11:12,500
He doesn't need any money.

3649
02:11:12,800 --> 02:11:13,660
He's loaded.

3650
02:11:14,180 --> 02:11:16,160
And you know, it's, it's not, there's no

3651
02:11:16,160 --> 02:11:17,260
way of going corrupt.

3652
02:11:17,260 --> 02:11:18,100
That's Bukele.

3653
02:11:18,280 --> 02:11:19,940
He says it's a terrific place.

3654
02:11:20,120 --> 02:11:20,260
Yeah.

3655
02:11:20,440 --> 02:11:21,340
And you know what they did?

3656
02:11:21,760 --> 02:11:24,160
They made Bitcoin the money of the country.

3657
02:11:24,600 --> 02:11:24,820
Currency.

3658
02:11:25,060 --> 02:11:25,260
Yeah.

3659
02:11:25,280 --> 02:11:25,860
It's the currency.

3660
02:11:26,780 --> 02:11:28,920
And a lot of people have moved there.

3661
02:11:29,040 --> 02:11:30,120
Max and Stacy are there.

3662
02:11:30,220 --> 02:11:32,220
I'm pretty much full time now.

3663
02:11:32,280 --> 02:11:34,020
I think it's only what two and a

3664
02:11:34,020 --> 02:11:35,220
half hour flight from Texas.

3665
02:11:35,360 --> 02:11:36,660
I'm going to go visit when Slim is

3666
02:11:36,660 --> 02:11:36,960
there.

3667
02:11:37,580 --> 02:11:38,040
Oh yeah.

3668
02:11:38,500 --> 02:11:39,540
So he's in charge.

3669
02:11:39,660 --> 02:11:40,920
He's going to, uh, I think he has

3670
02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:43,740
a, a press conference with the president Bukele

3671
02:11:43,740 --> 02:11:44,980
on the 14th of April.

3672
02:11:45,800 --> 02:11:48,000
And, uh, yeah, he, so he's going to

3673
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:51,220
do everything from the regenerative farming to the

3674
02:11:51,220 --> 02:11:51,860
processing.

3675
02:11:53,580 --> 02:11:55,340
And he has beef.com.

3676
02:11:55,440 --> 02:11:57,180
Somehow we got beef.com.

3677
02:11:57,560 --> 02:11:59,920
Little old Texas Slim, man.

3678
02:11:59,940 --> 02:12:00,460
He's doing good.

3679
02:12:00,480 --> 02:12:01,720
I'm so, so happy for him.

3680
02:12:01,900 --> 02:12:03,720
He says, Adam, I'm going to be the

3681
02:12:03,720 --> 02:12:06,040
Jimmy Dean of beef and I don't doubt

3682
02:12:06,040 --> 02:12:06,240
him.

3683
02:12:07,760 --> 02:12:10,220
So that's what's going on in El Salvador.

3684
02:12:10,860 --> 02:12:12,000
Well, thanks to Dame Catherine.

3685
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:13,600
Uh, Matthew lambs up.

3686
02:12:13,700 --> 02:12:16,240
He's in Johnson city, Tennessee, 500 bucks.

3687
02:12:16,460 --> 02:12:18,640
This, I just, I believe it's just a

3688
02:12:18,640 --> 02:12:21,840
check that showed up in an envelope with

3689
02:12:21,840 --> 02:12:22,840
no, no, no, nothing.

3690
02:12:22,900 --> 02:12:24,780
It made no sense, but I'm sure if

3691
02:12:24,780 --> 02:12:27,280
he wants to communicate, he will, but he'll

3692
02:12:27,280 --> 02:12:28,340
get a double up karma.

3693
02:12:28,600 --> 02:12:33,360
In the meantime, you've got karma.

3694
02:12:34,800 --> 02:12:35,460
All right.

3695
02:12:35,460 --> 02:12:38,640
Then we have a valuable account.

3696
02:12:39,000 --> 02:12:39,420
Indeed.

3697
02:12:40,560 --> 02:12:44,140
This is a great name, uh, from Plains,

3698
02:12:44,260 --> 02:12:46,920
Pennsylvania, $500 with a handwritten note.

3699
02:12:47,080 --> 02:12:50,680
Looks like, uh, uh, some paper from a

3700
02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:51,800
high school notebook.

3701
02:12:52,800 --> 02:12:54,840
Dear John Adam plus Mimi.

3702
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:57,220
My cousin also named John also had a

3703
02:12:57,220 --> 02:12:58,220
heart attack this week.

3704
02:12:58,660 --> 02:13:01,400
Sadly, he passed away leaving behind his wife,

3705
02:13:01,540 --> 02:13:03,020
children, and one grandchild.

3706
02:13:03,140 --> 02:13:04,860
He was a great guy and will be

3707
02:13:04,860 --> 02:13:05,200
missed.

3708
02:13:05,680 --> 02:13:06,720
Please count your blessings.

3709
02:13:06,720 --> 02:13:10,180
John get way, get, get well, stay healthy

3710
02:13:10,180 --> 02:13:11,900
and four more years.

3711
02:13:12,380 --> 02:13:15,200
Sincerely a valuable account accountant.

3712
02:13:15,320 --> 02:13:15,640
Indeed.

3713
02:13:15,720 --> 02:13:16,580
Not account accountant.

3714
02:13:16,880 --> 02:13:17,160
Indeed.

3715
02:13:17,540 --> 02:13:19,080
Uh, and he breaks it down.

3716
02:13:19,260 --> 02:13:21,980
Three 33, 33 value for value, a boob

3717
02:13:21,980 --> 02:13:23,040
donation for Mimi.

3718
02:13:23,200 --> 02:13:25,180
She's a lovely woman and a eight Oh

3719
02:13:25,180 --> 02:13:27,820
boob for John, a reason to live and

3720

3721
02:13:31,440 --> 02:13:32,080
unplugged.

3722
02:13:32,100 --> 02:13:32,800
He's great.

3723
02:13:32,800 --> 02:13:35,540
Plus prayers for Adam and pastor Jimmy, a

3724
02:13:35,540 --> 02:13:36,160
wonderful show.

3725
02:13:36,240 --> 02:13:36,560
They do.

3726
02:13:36,720 --> 02:13:38,680
There are three types of accountants, the kind

3727
02:13:38,680 --> 02:13:40,180
that you can count on and the kind

3728
02:13:40,180 --> 02:13:41,400
that can't that can't.

3729
02:13:41,840 --> 02:13:42,280
Okay.

3730
02:13:43,360 --> 02:13:45,760
Uh, uh, yeah, I get it.

3731
02:13:45,780 --> 02:13:47,820
The kind, the kind that can count and

3732
02:13:47,820 --> 02:13:48,940
the kind that can't.

3733
02:13:48,940 --> 02:13:49,600
There you go.

3734
02:13:49,640 --> 02:13:51,420
Well, this is a valuable accountant indeed.

3735
02:13:51,560 --> 02:13:53,240
And we thank you very much for your

3736
02:13:53,240 --> 02:13:54,080
support of the show.

3737
02:13:55,680 --> 02:13:57,760
No, the joke was there's three types.

3738
02:13:58,020 --> 02:14:00,200
I know, but there's no third.

3739
02:14:00,420 --> 02:14:01,020
Then you get it.

3740
02:14:01,060 --> 02:14:01,220
Yeah.

3741
02:14:01,220 --> 02:14:01,540
Okay.

3742
02:14:01,680 --> 02:14:06,940

John, for not dying.

3746
02:14:13,280 --> 02:14:14,040
You're welcome.

3747
02:14:14,780 --> 02:14:17,120
I started listening in March 2, 2026.

3748
02:14:17,480 --> 02:14:18,760
Recent listener, huh?

3749
02:14:19,200 --> 02:14:19,940
First time donor.

3750
02:14:20,300 --> 02:14:21,540
I need a D douching.

3751
02:14:23,160 --> 02:14:25,060
You've been D douched.

3752
02:14:25,260 --> 02:14:27,040
My Spicewood, Texas daughter.

3753
02:14:27,440 --> 02:14:28,920
Turn me on to you guys.

3754
02:14:28,920 --> 02:14:31,060
Thank you for your enlightenment.

3755
02:14:31,480 --> 02:14:32,620
It's appreciated.

3756
02:14:32,820 --> 02:14:33,380
I apologize.

3757
02:14:33,520 --> 02:14:34,640
You're not donating sooner.

3758
02:14:34,880 --> 02:14:38,160
I leave with this in the spirit of

3759
02:14:38,160 --> 02:14:42,360
Texas and in the words of Sam Houston,

3760
02:14:42,860 --> 02:14:47,260
Texas will again lift his head and stand

3761
02:14:47,260 --> 02:14:48,640
among the nations.

3762
02:14:48,940 --> 02:14:51,100
It ought to do so for no country

3763
02:14:51,100 --> 02:14:54,600
upon the globe can compare with it in

3764
02:14:54,600 --> 02:14:56,220
a natural advantages.

3765
02:14:56,560 --> 02:14:57,540
God bless you.

3766
02:14:57,540 --> 02:15:00,360
The no agenda show and God bless Texas.

3767
02:15:00,520 --> 02:15:00,760
Amen.

3768
02:15:01,120 --> 02:15:01,700
That's right.

3769
02:15:01,720 --> 02:15:02,420
One of those guys.

3770
02:15:02,680 --> 02:15:02,880
Yeah.

3771
02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:04,160
Well, there's a lot of them here and

3772
02:15:04,160 --> 02:15:08,860
I'm one of them calling Westerhouse in Chiribusco,

3773
02:15:09,300 --> 02:15:09,620
Indiana.

3774
02:15:09,900 --> 02:15:11,340
I think it's Chiribusco.

3775
02:15:11,780 --> 02:15:12,640
Someone gave me crap.

3776
02:15:12,740 --> 02:15:14,180
Me and my sister-in-law gave me

3777
02:15:14,180 --> 02:15:16,880
crap the other day because I said Portage,

3778
02:15:17,080 --> 02:15:17,520
Indiana.

3779
02:15:18,020 --> 02:15:20,820
She called me up, says it's Portage.

3780
02:15:22,120 --> 02:15:23,080
We're Midwesterners.

3781
02:15:23,200 --> 02:15:24,420
Stop with the French stuff.

3782
02:15:24,420 --> 02:15:26,140
So I don't know if you pronounce this

3783
02:15:26,140 --> 02:15:29,680
Chiribusco or Chiribusco, but it's in Indiana.

3784
02:15:30,740 --> 02:15:32,680
RoveDocs222.22. No note that I could find

3785
02:15:32,680 --> 02:15:33,200
from Colleen.

3786
02:15:33,280 --> 02:15:34,940
So we'll give her a double up karma.

3787
02:15:35,520 --> 02:15:38,900
You've got karma.

3788
02:15:42,760 --> 02:15:45,140
Christopher Graves in Somerset, California.

3789
02:15:45,400 --> 02:15:46,280
Now we know Christopher.

3790
02:15:47,220 --> 02:15:47,640
Christopher.

3791
02:15:48,780 --> 02:15:49,200
2329.

3792
02:15:49,640 --> 02:15:50,140
This is a note.

3793
02:15:50,220 --> 02:15:51,660
So thank you to Eli, the coffee guy.

3794
02:15:51,660 --> 02:15:53,840
When Eli reached out and asked if Little

3795
02:15:53,840 --> 02:15:56,300
John's could make chocolate with coffee.

3796
02:15:56,560 --> 02:15:58,800
By the way, we got some of these

3797
02:15:58,800 --> 02:15:59,200
things.

3798
02:15:59,580 --> 02:16:00,360
You got some already?

3799
02:16:00,480 --> 02:16:01,360
I haven't received any.

3800
02:16:01,380 --> 02:16:03,080
Well, I think so because Jay is talking

3801
02:16:03,080 --> 02:16:05,000
about you eat one and you go to

3802
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:05,440
the moon.

3803
02:16:07,800 --> 02:16:09,280
I got to get to the P.O.

3804
02:16:09,340 --> 02:16:09,700
box.

3805
02:16:10,280 --> 02:16:11,800
Make chocolate with coffee.

3806
02:16:12,280 --> 02:16:13,680
I jumped at the chance to co-brand

3807
02:16:13,680 --> 02:16:16,080
with another like-minded business owner.

3808
02:16:16,080 --> 02:16:20,300
Getting the chance to collab with two of

3809
02:16:20,300 --> 02:16:22,620
my favorite things, chocolate and coffee, and then

3810
02:16:22,620 --> 02:16:24,560
promote it to the best podcast in the

3811
02:16:24,560 --> 02:16:25,600
universe is an honor.

3812
02:16:26,120 --> 02:16:26,220
Yes.

3813
02:16:26,520 --> 02:16:29,160
Thank you, Eli, for making me a better

3814
02:16:29,160 --> 02:16:31,500
businessman and a better candy maker.

3815
02:16:32,480 --> 02:16:33,799
Connection is protection.

Yeah, it's littlejohnscandies.com.

3820
02:16:45,280 --> 02:16:45,920
What did I say?

3821
02:16:45,920 --> 02:16:47,160
You said Little John's Coffee.

3822
02:16:49,020 --> 02:16:50,840
That's what a collab will do to you.

3823
02:16:50,879 --> 02:16:52,879
No, that's from the drugs.

3824
02:16:53,219 --> 02:16:54,459
What drugs are you on?

3825
02:16:55,100 --> 02:16:55,440
Nothing.

3826
02:16:55,920 --> 02:16:56,260
What?

3827
02:16:56,600 --> 02:16:57,420
Nothing for pain?

3828
02:16:58,040 --> 02:16:59,580
No, I don't have any pain.

3829
02:17:00,120 --> 02:17:03,379
I have aches and I have like sore

3830
02:17:03,379 --> 02:17:05,440
back and neck and things like that.

3831
02:17:07,240 --> 02:17:09,480
And I asked about this, by the way,

3832
02:17:09,600 --> 02:17:12,860
not to go on about these ailments, but

3833
02:17:12,860 --> 02:17:15,680
because everyone would come in, well, we're going

3834
02:17:15,680 --> 02:17:16,959
to do this and that, and then somebody

3835
02:17:16,959 --> 02:17:17,920
else comes in, we're going to do this

3836
02:17:17,920 --> 02:17:18,180
and that.

3837
02:17:18,540 --> 02:17:20,400
And then they always say, do you have

3838
02:17:20,400 --> 02:17:21,020
any pain?

3839
02:17:21,740 --> 02:17:22,400
Oh, and do you?

3840
02:17:22,420 --> 02:17:23,020
And I said, no.

3841
02:17:23,200 --> 02:17:25,059
The little chart with the, where on this

3842
02:17:25,059 --> 02:17:26,980
chart is your pain level at?

3843
02:17:27,580 --> 02:17:29,440
And I said, no, you got pain from

3844
02:17:29,440 --> 02:17:30,559
zero to 10.

3845
02:17:30,580 --> 02:17:31,620
I don't have any pain.

3846
02:17:31,940 --> 02:17:32,660
He's got no pain.

3847
02:17:33,240 --> 02:17:34,400
And so this went on and on and

3848
02:17:34,400 --> 02:17:34,680
on.

3849
02:17:35,100 --> 02:17:37,879
And so somebody comes in once and I

3850
02:17:37,879 --> 02:17:40,799
said, okay, I don't have any pain.

3851
02:17:40,799 --> 02:17:43,940
But why, what, you know, I can't seem

3852
02:17:43,940 --> 02:17:44,700
to make it clear.

3853
02:17:45,780 --> 02:17:48,860
And so what is the pain that people

3854
02:17:48,860 --> 02:17:49,400
have?

3855
02:17:50,660 --> 02:17:52,200
Because after, you know, you have your while

3856
02:17:52,200 --> 02:17:54,360
you wonder what the hell's this horrible pain,

3857
02:17:54,459 --> 02:17:55,240
because they keep asking.

3858
02:17:55,740 --> 02:17:59,600
And I guess one of the doctors described,

3859
02:17:59,820 --> 02:18:02,580
it feels like you're being stabbed.

3860
02:18:05,120 --> 02:18:05,600
Wow.

3861
02:18:06,219 --> 02:18:07,700
I'm glad I don't have that.

3862
02:18:07,940 --> 02:18:09,600
Well, at least there's one thing I avoided.

3863
02:18:10,240 --> 02:18:13,100
You're doing so well to over two hours

3864
02:18:13,100 --> 02:18:14,559
and your energy went up.

3865
02:18:14,639 --> 02:18:15,420
It's amazing.

3866
02:18:15,700 --> 02:18:15,980
Yeah, well.

3867
02:18:16,440 --> 02:18:20,219
Hey, we've got Gert Lunkar in Breda in

3868
02:18:20,219 --> 02:18:20,780
the Netherlands.

3869
02:18:21,320 --> 02:18:22,660
$200 and 88 cents.

3870
02:18:22,740 --> 02:18:24,000
That's a give John a reason to live

3871
02:18:24,000 --> 02:18:24,500
donation.

3872
02:18:25,160 --> 02:18:26,580
And he has a note with his associate

3873
02:18:26,580 --> 02:18:28,860
executive producer, John and Adam.

3874
02:18:29,260 --> 02:18:31,280
ITM, I've been listening since COVID and I've

3875
02:18:31,280 --> 02:18:32,459
never missed a show since.

3876
02:18:32,840 --> 02:18:34,719
Thank you for bringing sanity in the world

3877
02:18:34,719 --> 02:18:35,760
of news and media.

3878
02:18:36,500 --> 02:18:39,120
This donation of $200 and 88 cents is

3879
02:18:39,120 --> 02:18:41,360
a shout out to my brother, Hans, who

3880
02:18:41,360 --> 02:18:43,639

Did that a while ago.

He's a mechanical engineer, independent product developer, who's

3883
02:18:47,980 --> 02:18:50,660

3885
02:18:53,000 --> 02:18:53,440

3886
02:18:53,900 --> 02:18:55,540
He is fully authorized to work in the

3887
02:18:55,540 --> 02:18:55,879

3888
02:18:56,260 --> 02:18:57,620
He's got a green card and he's ready

3900
02:19:26,180 --> 02:19:28,320
Lunkar from Breda in the Netherlands.

3901
02:19:28,660 --> 02:19:32,080
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.

3902
02:19:32,240 --> 02:19:33,780
Let's vote for jobs.

3903
02:19:34,900 --> 02:19:35,620
Karma.

3904
02:19:37,760 --> 02:19:40,840
And there's Linda Lupatkin in Castle Rock, Colorado.

3905
02:19:41,040 --> 02:19:41,680
200 bucks.

3906
02:19:42,200 --> 02:19:45,320
Jobs, Karma, your resume has about 10 seconds

3907
02:19:45,320 --> 02:19:46,320
to make an impression.

3908
02:19:47,040 --> 02:19:49,360
And most don't.

3909
02:19:50,900 --> 02:19:53,720
For a resume, I think I have that.

3910
02:19:55,240 --> 02:19:58,140
Nice, nice one.

3911
02:19:58,380 --> 02:20:02,720
Linda helps professionals and ex-executives turn their

3912
02:20:02,720 --> 02:20:07,140
experience into a clear story of leadership results

3913
02:20:07,140 --> 02:20:08,300
and impact.

3914
02:20:08,880 --> 02:20:10,180
That's Image Makers, Inc.

3915
02:20:10,240 --> 02:20:10,540
with Kay.

3916
02:20:11,100 --> 02:20:13,860
And Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs and writer

3917
02:20:13,860 --> 02:20:15,220
of winning resumes.

3918
02:20:15,480 --> 02:20:16,340
Best, Linda.

3919
02:20:16,760 --> 02:20:20,100
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.

3920
02:20:20,260 --> 02:20:21,760
Let's vote for jobs.

3921
02:20:24,080 --> 02:20:26,480
By the way, when you're back at home

3922
02:20:26,480 --> 02:20:27,760
base, I don't know, it's going to take

3923
02:20:27,760 --> 02:20:28,440
a couple months.

3924
02:20:28,560 --> 02:20:30,000
Whenever you get to go back, you must

3925
02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:31,380
be ready to go back home already.

3926
02:20:31,380 --> 02:20:32,020
I know you.

3927
02:20:32,180 --> 02:20:33,100
You're like, I want to be home.

3928
02:20:34,560 --> 02:20:36,220
What's it like living with your kid?

3929
02:20:37,580 --> 02:20:39,980
Well, you know, Brennan is a chatty guy.

3930
02:20:40,080 --> 02:20:42,560
So it's fun to talk with him.

3931
02:20:43,760 --> 02:20:46,320
And it's good to work with Jay.

3932
02:20:47,140 --> 02:20:48,780
And it's just interesting.

3933
02:20:49,360 --> 02:20:50,700
I gotta tell you, Jay.

3934
02:20:50,760 --> 02:20:52,020
I think it's annoying to them.

3935
02:20:52,240 --> 02:20:52,820
I can't.

3936
02:20:52,900 --> 02:20:55,360
No, first of all, she loves you so

3937
02:20:55,360 --> 02:20:55,780
much.

3938
02:20:56,240 --> 02:20:57,560
I try to slow her down.

3939
02:20:57,720 --> 02:20:58,360
Like, easy does it.

3940
02:20:58,420 --> 02:21:00,140
He'll disappoint you somewhere along the way.

3941
02:21:00,280 --> 02:21:00,780
Just don't.

3942
02:21:00,780 --> 02:21:01,920
Let's hope so.

3943
02:21:02,420 --> 02:21:04,700
But she is a, she's a rock star.

3944
02:21:05,400 --> 02:21:06,580
She really is.

3945
02:21:06,700 --> 02:21:08,200
She didn't skip a beat.

3946
02:21:09,020 --> 02:21:11,200
You know, maybe, maybe she didn't care.

3947
02:21:11,800 --> 02:21:13,580
Oh, the old guys and then I gotta

3948
02:21:13,580 --> 02:21:14,220
live in my house.

3949
02:21:14,520 --> 02:21:15,680
But she is so good.

3950
02:21:15,880 --> 02:21:16,700
She just keeps on.

3951
02:21:16,800 --> 02:21:18,360
She could, had she ever done a podcast?

3952
02:21:19,720 --> 02:21:21,920
She, she doesn't enunciate.

3953
02:21:22,140 --> 02:21:24,860
Oh, I just remember her when she was

3954
02:21:24,860 --> 02:21:25,940
14 or 15.

3955
02:21:26,060 --> 02:21:27,200
That's the last time I saw her.

3956
02:21:27,200 --> 02:21:30,400
She's all grown up and married and, and

3957
02:21:30,400 --> 02:21:31,100
doing stuff.

3958
02:21:31,840 --> 02:21:32,580
She's cool.

3959
02:21:34,360 --> 02:21:35,700
Everybody loves Jay.

3960
02:21:35,960 --> 02:21:36,300
Yes.

3961
02:21:36,560 --> 02:21:38,060
So we could do the rest of these

3962
02:21:38,060 --> 02:21:40,040
because this is the shortest list we've ever

3963
02:21:40,040 --> 02:21:40,480
had.

3964
02:21:40,540 --> 02:21:42,080
Yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to go

3965
02:21:42,080 --> 02:21:42,740
right through it.

3966
02:21:42,780 --> 02:21:43,360
I'll do them all.

3967
02:21:43,520 --> 02:21:43,900
Never wait.

3968
02:21:43,960 --> 02:21:44,980
Let me stop you.

3969
02:21:45,780 --> 02:21:51,440
This is the shortest list of donations we've

3970
02:21:51,440 --> 02:21:52,460
ever had.

3971
02:21:53,250 --> 02:21:55,720
A total count with the, with the crypto

3972
02:21:55,720 --> 02:21:57,780
granny and all the rest thrown in of

3973
02:21:57,780 --> 02:21:59,040
19 people.

3974
02:21:59,740 --> 02:22:01,200
Now, is it that bad?

3975
02:22:01,620 --> 02:22:05,220
Part of this is the newsletter is, is

3976
02:22:05,220 --> 02:22:10,280
has to be redeveloped because it's just not

3977
02:22:10,280 --> 02:22:11,300
getting to anybody.

3978
02:22:11,720 --> 02:22:14,040
It's, you mean they're not actually receiving it

3979
02:22:14,040 --> 02:22:15,760
or it's not, it doesn't have impact.

3980
02:22:15,880 --> 02:22:16,820
They're not receiving it.

3981
02:22:17,020 --> 02:22:18,340
They're not receiving it.

3982
02:22:18,500 --> 02:22:21,260
Oh, what changed besides you almost dying?

3983
02:22:21,740 --> 02:22:25,720
No, this changed about, uh, six to nine

3984
02:22:25,720 --> 02:22:26,340
months ago.

3985
02:22:26,440 --> 02:22:27,480
And I noticed it then.

3986
02:22:27,780 --> 02:22:31,300
And I have, I was slow to act.

3987
02:22:32,180 --> 02:22:32,620
Yeah.

3988
02:22:32,740 --> 02:22:33,420
Now I'm slower.

3989
02:22:33,600 --> 02:22:34,760
So it's going to be a nightmare to

3990
02:22:34,760 --> 02:22:35,860
get this thing back on track.

3991
02:22:36,020 --> 02:22:37,580
Void zero is ready to help.

3992
02:22:37,840 --> 02:22:39,000
I mean, I know I want to talk

3993
02:22:39,000 --> 02:22:39,340
to him.

3994
02:22:39,500 --> 02:22:39,800
Okay.

3995
02:22:39,840 --> 02:22:41,260
Well talk to him.

3996
02:22:41,900 --> 02:22:42,820
Talk to your friend.

3997
02:22:42,900 --> 02:22:43,840
He has ideas.

3998
02:22:43,940 --> 02:22:46,700
He, if anyone knows email, it's void zero.

3999
02:22:47,140 --> 02:22:49,980
No, he's, he's, he's a borderline genius.

4000
02:22:49,980 --> 02:22:50,880
He is.

4001
02:22:51,300 --> 02:22:54,700
Except when he's like, it's Wednesday afternoon.

4002
02:22:54,820 --> 02:22:55,900
I'm doing show prep.

4003
02:22:55,960 --> 02:22:57,780
He's like, I'm just upgrading the mail server.

4004
02:22:58,180 --> 02:22:59,260
Yeah, that would be him.

4005
02:23:00,280 --> 02:23:03,380
I need some email to be able to

4006
02:23:03,380 --> 02:23:04,400
do my prep.

4007
02:23:04,760 --> 02:23:06,480
No, he, he is not borderline.

4008
02:23:06,580 --> 02:23:07,820
He is a certified genius.

4009
02:23:08,260 --> 02:23:10,040
So we'll thank these few people.

4010
02:23:10,780 --> 02:23:14,740
Larry Alar in Cochran, uh, Minnesota, 88, 88.

4011
02:23:14,980 --> 02:23:16,780
I came for Adam, but stay because of

4012
02:23:16,780 --> 02:23:17,040
John.

4013
02:23:17,140 --> 02:23:18,160
Be well, my friend.

4014
02:23:18,700 --> 02:23:21,640
Sir Nubbin Indianapolis, Indiana, 88, 88.

4015
02:23:21,820 --> 02:23:24,160
And he says there's evidence of promotion to

4016
02:23:24,160 --> 02:23:24,600
Baron.

4017
02:23:25,640 --> 02:23:27,360
Dear Adam on show 1839.

4018
02:23:27,540 --> 02:23:29,600
You credited to Chris Moore instead of certain

4019
02:23:29,600 --> 02:23:31,840
Nubbin has requested several times in notes and

4020
02:23:31,840 --> 02:23:32,160
emails.

4021
02:23:32,280 --> 02:23:33,820
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

4022
02:23:34,220 --> 02:23:36,180
I believe we are correcting that today, sir.

4023
02:23:37,580 --> 02:23:42,180
Michael Biscagli, Biscagli, Biscagli is from Staten Island.

4024
02:23:42,720 --> 02:23:44,120
And he sent in, oh, this is a

02:23:44,120 --> 02:23:44,780
get well note.

4026
02:23:44,860 --> 02:23:46,460
It was a very nice card that he

4027
02:23:46,460 --> 02:23:46,700
sent.

4028
02:23:46,820 --> 02:23:47,200
Let me see.

4029
02:23:47,200 --> 02:23:47,520
Yes.

4030
02:23:48,840 --> 02:23:51,500
Um, it said bringing you the strength you

4031
02:23:51,500 --> 02:23:52,880
need today and every day.

4032
02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:53,760
Get well soon.

4033
02:23:54,220 --> 02:23:55,820
I'm happy you're out of the hospital and

4034
02:23:55,820 --> 02:23:58,400

4035
02:23:58,540 --> 02:23:58,900
88.

4036
02:23:59,020 --> 02:23:59,520
That's nice.

4037
02:23:59,800 --> 02:24:01,640
And nice when people send cards like that.

4038
02:24:01,700 --> 02:24:05,580
So old school and with $80 and 8

4039
02:24:05,580 --> 02:24:07,460
cents, he's there every single show.

4040

Sometimes twice, uh, sir, Kevin McLaughlin.

4041
02:24:10,560 --> 02:24:12,100
He is the Archduke of Luke, a lover

4042
02:24:12,100 --> 02:24:13,320
of America and boobs.

4043
02:24:13,320 --> 02:24:16,360
And as always, he says, God bless America

4044
02:24:16,360 --> 02:24:16,880
and boobs.

4045
02:24:18,080 --> 02:24:21,560

02:24:23,640 --> 02:24:25,640
Oh, my proving.

4048
02:24:25,780 --> 02:24:27,580
Not all Americans have gone bonkers from a

4049
02:24:27,580 --> 02:24:28,780
university in Baghdad.

4050
02:24:28,940 --> 02:24:31,420
Thanks for your thanks to your deconstruction.

4051
02:24:31,800 --> 02:24:34,300
So it says San Francisco, but I guess

4052
02:24:34,300 --> 02:24:35,140
he's in Iraq.

4053
02:24:36,360 --> 02:24:37,280
Sounds like it.

4054
02:24:37,360 --> 02:24:39,120
Yeah, well, stay safe.

4055
02:24:39,940 --> 02:24:42,900
Surprise of he's the knight of astonishment, 54

02:24:50,600 --> 02:24:52,120
Keep going on five ever.

4060
02:24:52,280 --> 02:24:53,700
That's more than forever.

02:25:17,580 --> 02:25:18,280

I'm telling you, knowagenthedonations.com.

4078
02:25:37,860 --> 02:25:40,320
Also a short list on the birthdays, but

4079
02:25:40,320 --> 02:25:41,020
they are here.

4080
02:25:41,020 --> 02:25:43,940
Evan Mackey celebrates a birthday.

4081
02:25:44,820 --> 02:25:46,160
And let me see.

4082
02:25:46,320 --> 02:25:49,720
Layaway Night, Sir Exiled Maniac.

4083
02:25:49,880 --> 02:25:51,260
I don't have any dates for these guys,

4084
02:25:51,360 --> 02:25:53,080
but I'll just take it as it's their

4085
02:25:53,080 --> 02:25:53,380
birthday.

4086
02:25:53,500 --> 02:25:55,000
So happy birthday from everybody here at the

4087
02:25:55,000 --> 02:25:56,840
best podcast in the universe.

4088
02:26:06,220 --> 02:26:10,160
Well, I'm very sorry, Sir Nubbin.

4089
02:26:10,160 --> 02:26:12,380
I'm not sure exactly what went wrong, but

4090
02:26:12,380 --> 02:26:13,740
there was no malice intended.

4091
02:26:13,960 --> 02:26:17,840
So today you receive your long overdue and

4092
02:26:17,840 --> 02:26:19,520
deserved title change.

4093
02:26:19,620 --> 02:26:20,760
You now become a baron.

4094
02:26:20,940 --> 02:26:22,880
And we thank you for your courage and

4095
02:26:22,880 --> 02:26:24,720
for your support of the best podcast in

4096
02:26:24,720 --> 02:26:25,160
the universe.

4097
02:26:25,360 --> 02:26:26,960
So we do have one night.

4098
02:26:27,080 --> 02:26:28,940
It is a layaway night.

4099
02:26:29,000 --> 02:26:31,880
And I believe I have a note here.

4100
02:26:32,740 --> 02:26:35,560
This is from A.

4101
02:26:35,720 --> 02:26:36,700
Jackson Pollock.

4102
02:26:37,820 --> 02:26:40,240
And he will become Sir Exiled Maniac.

4103
02:26:40,380 --> 02:26:42,340
He says, John Adam marches donation of 30.

4104
02:26:42,460 --> 02:26:43,880
Oh, this is a long time layaway.

4105
02:26:44,720 --> 02:26:46,480
3333 should leave me a penny short of

4106
02:26:46,480 --> 02:26:46,900
knighthood.

4107
02:26:47,040 --> 02:26:48,860
So if you can spare a penny, do

4108
02:26:48,860 --> 02:26:49,820
I have my pennies?

4109
02:26:49,960 --> 02:26:51,780
Ever since I went to Linux, I think

4110
02:26:51,780 --> 02:26:52,820
I lost my pennies.

4111
02:26:56,120 --> 02:26:59,200
You know, the Linux machine sucked up the

4112
02:26:59,200 --> 02:26:59,780
pennies.

4113
02:26:59,840 --> 02:27:00,560
Do I have it?

4114
02:27:04,220 --> 02:27:04,620
Nope.

4115
02:27:04,700 --> 02:27:05,600
I'm going to have to look for it.

4116
02:27:05,600 --> 02:27:06,660
I owe you.

4117
02:27:06,860 --> 02:27:07,620
Yes, it'll be.

4118
02:27:07,900 --> 02:27:09,120
I owe you is right.

4119
02:27:09,260 --> 02:27:09,840
There you go.

4120
02:27:11,340 --> 02:27:12,780
I think the ROI will be worth it.

4121
02:27:13,400 --> 02:27:15,840
I've also sent an additional 3333 this month

4122
02:27:15,840 --> 02:27:17,340
in order to sponsor a douchebag.

4123
02:27:17,500 --> 02:27:18,380
Save a podcaster.

4124
02:27:18,560 --> 02:27:20,140
I hope this concept catches on.

4125
02:27:20,580 --> 02:27:22,700
JCD's life and the show may depend on

4126
02:27:22,700 --> 02:27:22,840
it.

4127
02:27:23,180 --> 02:27:25,660
Please knight me Sir Exiled Maniac kennel master

4128
02:27:25,660 --> 02:27:28,240
of the Dutch Shepherds and Belgian Malinois.

4129
02:27:28,560 --> 02:27:29,020
Malinois.

4130
02:27:29,480 --> 02:27:29,920
Malinois.

4131
02:27:30,460 --> 02:27:31,660
You know who has Malinois?

4132
02:27:32,600 --> 02:27:33,420
Laura Logan.

4133
02:27:33,580 --> 02:27:34,520
She got five of them.

4134
02:27:35,000 --> 02:27:35,960
I had one.

4135
02:27:36,280 --> 02:27:38,020
Yeah, but these, these are the ones that

4136
02:27:38,020 --> 02:27:39,600
bit Luke Coffey and he had to get

4137
02:27:39,600 --> 02:27:41,240
plastic surgery on his face.

4138
02:27:42,120 --> 02:27:43,100
No, that's not good.

4139
02:27:43,220 --> 02:27:44,680
No, she has five of them and they

4140
02:27:44,680 --> 02:27:46,000
get out all the time and they're on

4141
02:27:46,000 --> 02:27:47,280
the street roaming around.

4142
02:27:47,480 --> 02:27:49,840
Like they are killers.

4143
02:27:50,400 --> 02:27:52,840
They can, I had one that was gentle.

4144
02:27:53,240 --> 02:27:53,440
Yeah.

4145
02:27:53,500 --> 02:27:58,040
But this dog, nothing could contain him.

4146
02:27:59,020 --> 02:28:00,440
He would get his escape.

4147
02:28:00,480 --> 02:28:01,500
He was an escape artist.

4148
02:28:02,200 --> 02:28:03,440
You know, one time we dropped him off

4149
02:28:03,440 --> 02:28:04,000
at a kennel.

4150
02:28:04,640 --> 02:28:07,440
Then we said, this dog will escape.

4151
02:28:09,540 --> 02:28:11,020
And don't worry about it.

4152
02:28:11,020 --> 02:28:12,380
We got to secure his facilities.

4153
02:28:13,000 --> 02:28:14,600
And so then we see the guy the

4154
02:28:14,600 --> 02:28:16,960
next time and he says, so I locked

4155
02:28:16,960 --> 02:28:19,180
the dog up and I'm walking down the

4156
02:28:19,180 --> 02:28:21,540
hall and I hear something clicking behind me.

4157
02:28:21,780 --> 02:28:24,440
The dog is walking right behind me.

4158
02:28:25,600 --> 02:28:27,280
They are escape artists.

4159
02:28:29,500 --> 02:28:31,480
Let me say that was actually pretty funny.

4160
02:28:31,580 --> 02:28:32,360
Let me save that one.

4161
02:28:32,420 --> 02:28:34,140
So I need to read some of this

4162
02:28:34,140 --> 02:28:34,380
note.

4163
02:28:34,380 --> 02:28:36,860
I don't know if you saw, if you

4164
02:28:36,860 --> 02:28:38,700
saw this note, but this is a hilarious

4165
02:28:38,700 --> 02:28:39,180
note.

4166
02:28:39,860 --> 02:28:40,300
Okay.

4167
02:28:40,440 --> 02:28:41,880
He says, so I've been having this recurring

4168
02:28:41,880 --> 02:28:44,120
dream and I'm starting to think it may

4169
02:28:44,120 --> 02:28:45,840
have something to do with the best podcast

4170
02:28:45,840 --> 02:28:46,460
in the universe.

4171
02:28:46,560 --> 02:28:47,960
It goes something like this.

4172
02:28:48,640 --> 02:28:50,820
Since the pandemic, I've been down on my

4173
02:28:50,820 --> 02:28:52,420
luck and financially strapped.

4174
02:28:52,760 --> 02:28:55,200
So I started directing gay porn movies out

4175
02:28:55,200 --> 02:28:57,700
of my house, unbeknownst to my wife while

4176
02:28:57,700 --> 02:28:58,380
she's at work.

4177
02:28:58,640 --> 02:29:01,560
I'm working with my associate executive producer, Dana

4178
02:29:01,560 --> 02:29:05,100
Brunetti and our biggest star, Eli, the coffee

4179
02:29:05,100 --> 02:29:05,420
guy.

4180
02:29:05,980 --> 02:29:08,000
We are discussing the next scene, which involves

4181
02:29:08,000 --> 02:29:11,280
little John's candied beads and a gigawatt coffee

4182
02:29:11,280 --> 02:29:13,560
enema followed up with good old fashioned La

4183
02:29:13,560 --> 02:29:15,000
Jolla salt rub and tug.

4184
02:29:15,300 --> 02:29:17,180
Suddenly the front door flies open and my

4185
02:29:17,180 --> 02:29:19,540
wife, Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs and writer

4186
02:29:19,540 --> 02:29:22,400
of winning resumes unexpectedly comes home and cries

4187
02:29:22,400 --> 02:29:23,040
out in horror.

4188
02:29:23,460 --> 02:29:25,220
Mr. Timothy, what in the world?

4189
02:29:25,660 --> 02:29:26,920
What have you been shopping at?

4190
02:29:26,920 --> 02:29:28,580
Bad idea supply again.

4191
02:29:28,580 --> 02:29:30,840
Then she starts yakking at me something about

4192
02:29:30,840 --> 02:29:30,940
it.

4193
02:29:30,980 --> 02:29:32,860
If I don't change my wicked ways, find

4194
02:29:32,860 --> 02:29:35,060
Jesus and go to imagemakersinc.com.

4195
02:29:35,200 --> 02:29:36,880
That's image makers inc with a K.

4196
02:29:37,160 --> 02:29:39,400
She's always repeating herself and get myself a

4197
02:29:39,400 --> 02:29:40,840
winning resume that gets results.

4198
02:29:40,880 --> 02:29:42,280
And there's no doubt in her mind that

4199
02:29:42,280 --> 02:29:44,060
I would end up working at Martel hardware

4200
02:29:44,060 --> 02:29:45,280
for the rest of my life.

4201
02:29:46,280 --> 02:29:48,240
About this time, the alarm clock goes off

4202
02:29:48,240 --> 02:29:49,820
and from the radio, I hear the spooky

4203
02:29:49,820 --> 02:29:53,340
voice of a washed up VJ exclaiming in

4204
02:29:53,340 --> 02:29:56,480
the morning, followed by his geriatric handler sidekick,

4205
02:29:56,540 --> 02:29:58,380
bitching and moaning for three hours about low

4206
02:29:58,380 --> 02:29:58,820
donations.

4207
02:29:59,300 --> 02:30:00,980
What can all of this madness mean?

4208
02:30:01,280 --> 02:30:02,720
When will this sigh up end?

4209
02:30:02,840 --> 02:30:05,080
Four more years is what my conspiracy therapist

4210
02:30:05,080 --> 02:30:06,960
keeps telling me, but he says it may

4211
02:30:06,960 --> 02:30:09,000
end a whole lot sooner unless all the

4212
02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:11,280
douchebags in the universe donate at least once,

4213
02:30:11,540 --> 02:30:14,180
no matter the amount, although 3333 is the

4214
02:30:14,180 --> 02:30:14,820
magic number.

4215
02:30:15,160 --> 02:30:17,260
Ball is in your court, douchebags.

4216
02:30:17,600 --> 02:30:18,640
Stay safe and donate.

4217
02:30:19,220 --> 02:30:21,940
That's a Jackson Pollock plus no agenda is

4218
02:30:21,940 --> 02:30:22,700
a Picasso.

4219
02:30:22,700 --> 02:30:25,200
And that means that we need to ignite

4220
02:30:25,200 --> 02:30:25,660
this guy.

4221
02:30:25,780 --> 02:30:27,500
So if you can grab that little tiny

4222
02:30:27,500 --> 02:30:29,580
heart right here, that's beautiful.

4223
02:30:34,040 --> 02:30:35,620
Jason, come on up here.

4224
02:30:35,980 --> 02:30:38,880
He has the exiled maniac and you now

4225
02:30:38,880 --> 02:30:42,720
officially will become Sir Exiled Maniac, kennel master

4226
02:30:42,720 --> 02:30:45,260
of the Dutch Shepherds and Belgian Malinois.

4227
02:30:45,940 --> 02:30:48,300
And for you, we have, as always, hookers

4228
02:30:48,300 --> 02:30:49,820
and blow red boys and Chardonnay.

4229
02:30:49,820 --> 02:30:52,100
We got Harlan's and how dull we've got

4230
02:30:52,100 --> 02:30:54,960
red heads and rise, beers and blunts, cowgirls

4231
02:30:54,960 --> 02:30:55,400
and coffee.

4232
02:30:55,480 --> 02:30:58,160
Varnish Ruben has women and rosé, geishas and

4233
02:30:58,160 --> 02:31:00,840

4234
02:31:00,840 --> 02:31:03,560
cider and escorts, ginger ale and gerbils, breast

4235
02:31:03,560 --> 02:31:04,420
milk and pablum.

4236
02:31:04,680 --> 02:31:07,420
And as always, the roundtable, especially for people

4237
02:31:07,420 --> 02:31:09,260
who write funny notes like that, we've got

4238
02:31:09,260 --> 02:31:12,220
mutton and me, you sir, head over to

4239
02:31:12,220 --> 02:31:14,760
no agenda rings dot com and give us

4240
02:31:14,760 --> 02:31:16,820
your ring size so we can send that

4241
02:31:16,820 --> 02:31:17,320
off to you.

4242
02:31:17,320 --> 02:31:20,060
And they always come with a certificate of

4243
02:31:20,060 --> 02:31:23,020
authenticity and a couple of sticks of wax,

4244
02:31:23,100 --> 02:31:25,140
so you can add those to your gay

4245
02:31:25,140 --> 02:31:25,940
porn movie.

4246
02:31:26,480 --> 02:31:28,080
Danny Brunetti will help you for sure.

4247
02:31:28,400 --> 02:31:30,160

4256
02:31:50,240 --> 02:31:50,520
matter.

The most broke place in Canada.

least once in your life.

4299
02:32:57,100 --> 02:32:58,880
Go to noagendameetups.com.

4300
02:32:58,960 --> 02:33:01,160
If you can't find one near you, no

4301
02:33:01,160 --> 02:33:01,620
worries.

4302
02:33:01,720 --> 02:33:02,940
All you got to do is start one

4303
02:33:02,940 --> 02:33:03,340
yourself.

4304
02:33:03,460 --> 02:33:05,840
It's easy and always guaranteed a party.

4305
02:33:06,440 --> 02:33:07,320
noagendameetups.com.

4306
02:33:27,060 --> 02:33:27,940
All right.

4307
02:33:28,140 --> 02:33:30,580
I got time for some ISOs here.

4308
02:33:31,380 --> 02:33:33,060
You only have two.

4309
02:33:33,200 --> 02:33:34,420
I see you got two ISOs.

4310
02:33:34,540 --> 02:33:34,780
All right.

4311
02:33:34,780 --> 02:33:37,260
I'll play mine first and we'll see how

4312
02:33:37,260 --> 02:33:37,720
we do.

4313
02:33:42,360 --> 02:33:44,080
That apparently was real.

4314
02:33:46,930 --> 02:33:49,150
Although that, well, maybe I'm wrong.

4315
02:33:49,390 --> 02:33:51,070
It came, I thought it came from the

4316
02:33:51,070 --> 02:33:52,550
Sean Hannity show.

4317
02:33:53,310 --> 02:33:54,350
But I could be wrong.

4318
02:33:57,910 --> 02:33:59,190
But I think it's AI.

4319
02:33:59,410 --> 02:34:00,290
Here's another one.

4320
02:34:03,110 --> 02:34:04,150
All right.

4321
02:34:04,950 --> 02:34:05,470
Okay.

4322
02:34:05,470 --> 02:34:05,830
All right.

4323
02:34:05,870 --> 02:34:06,470
I got two.

4324
02:34:06,850 --> 02:34:07,010
Yes.

4325
02:34:07,930 --> 02:34:08,350
See ya.

4326
02:34:08,850 --> 02:34:09,330
See ya.

4327
02:34:09,630 --> 02:34:10,250
Catch you later.

4328
02:34:10,590 --> 02:34:11,310
Take it easy.

4329
02:34:12,110 --> 02:34:12,550
Okay.

4330
02:34:12,570 --> 02:34:13,190
Not bad.

4331
02:34:14,130 --> 02:34:15,310
And then impressive.

4332
02:34:16,110 --> 02:34:16,990
That's impressive.

4333
02:34:18,550 --> 02:34:18,990
Hmm.

4334
02:34:19,490 --> 02:34:21,130
I think I like see ya the best.

4335
02:34:21,290 --> 02:34:22,070
I kind of see ya.

4336
02:34:22,370 --> 02:34:22,970
Catch you later.

4337
02:34:23,310 --> 02:34:23,990
Take it easy.

4338
02:34:24,570 --> 02:34:25,830
I think we should leave it with see

4339
02:34:25,830 --> 02:34:25,990
ya.

4340
02:34:26,790 --> 02:34:27,210
Okay.

4341
02:34:27,370 --> 02:34:27,790
All right.

4342
02:34:27,810 --> 02:34:28,230
We'll do that.

4343
02:34:28,290 --> 02:34:28,830
Hey, everybody.

4344
02:34:28,950 --> 02:34:31,030
Before we go anywhere, it is time for

4345
02:34:31,030 --> 02:34:33,010
John's tip of the day.

4346
02:34:35,470 --> 02:34:39,570
You and me, just a tip with JCD

4347
02:34:39,570 --> 02:34:41,830
and sometimes Adam.

4348
02:34:44,110 --> 02:34:49,030
Well, not being out and about and the

4349
02:34:49,030 --> 02:34:54,110
last tip we picked, I've decided what obvious

4350
02:34:54,110 --> 02:34:56,830
things should people have that would be a

4351
02:34:56,830 --> 02:34:57,590
tip of the day?

4352
02:34:58,570 --> 02:35:00,170
And I got another one.

4353
02:35:01,110 --> 02:35:01,450
Okay.

4354
02:35:01,570 --> 02:35:02,630
It's not on the list.

4355
02:35:02,750 --> 02:35:03,810
I don't know why we haven't picked it

4356
02:35:03,810 --> 02:35:04,190
before.

4357
02:35:04,190 --> 02:35:06,890
But everybody should have one of these.

4358
02:35:07,810 --> 02:35:10,130
A carbon monoxide monitor.

4359
02:35:10,450 --> 02:35:11,050
Oh, yes.

4360
02:35:11,170 --> 02:35:12,370
I actually have one.

4361
02:35:13,210 --> 02:35:14,050
You have one?

4362
02:35:14,230 --> 02:35:14,470
Yes.

4363
02:35:14,530 --> 02:35:15,350
For when I fly.

4364
02:35:15,670 --> 02:35:16,890
I haven't used it in a while.

4365
02:35:16,990 --> 02:35:18,310
But yes, I have one for in the

4366
02:35:18,310 --> 02:35:18,590
cockpit.

4367
02:35:19,590 --> 02:35:20,870
Well, there's a lot of them.

4368
02:35:20,990 --> 02:35:22,410
There's tons of them out there.

4369
02:35:22,710 --> 02:35:25,850
They're about the two I'll recommend is the

4370
02:35:25,850 --> 02:35:29,130
first alert, which is 23 bucks.

4371
02:35:29,850 --> 02:35:33,130
And then there's the Kitty, K-I-T

4372
02:35:33,130 --> 02:35:36,410
-T-E, 27 bucks.

4373
02:35:36,950 --> 02:35:38,630
These are brands that are known.

4374
02:35:39,370 --> 02:35:41,250
And they're not expensive.

4375
02:35:41,510 --> 02:35:44,770
And they're valuable protection that everyone should have,

4376
02:35:44,910 --> 02:35:46,150
especially in and around the kitchen.

4377
02:35:46,370 --> 02:35:47,990
If you have gas appliances.

4378
02:35:48,490 --> 02:35:51,410
Now, are these just simple ones that beep

4379
02:35:51,410 --> 02:35:52,790
or make a noise?

4380
02:35:53,390 --> 02:35:55,270
Or can you get them that connect to

4381
02:35:55,270 --> 02:35:55,730
an app?

4382
02:35:56,430 --> 02:35:57,730
So your app will alert you?

4383
02:35:58,130 --> 02:35:59,630
No, but there's plenty that do.

4384
02:35:59,730 --> 02:36:00,670
And you can look for those.

4385
02:36:01,150 --> 02:36:02,650
In that, you know, in planes, we have

4386
02:36:02,650 --> 02:36:05,750
a very cheap one, which is a little

4387
02:36:05,750 --> 02:36:06,330
disc.

4388
02:36:06,990 --> 02:36:08,770
And the disc changes color.

4389
02:36:10,350 --> 02:36:11,790
And then you know that there's a lot

4390
02:36:11,790 --> 02:36:12,690
of carbon monoxide.

4391
02:36:13,270 --> 02:36:15,430
Yeah, I'd rather have something beeping at me.

4392
02:36:15,530 --> 02:36:15,750
Yeah.

4393
02:36:15,950 --> 02:36:21,650
And excuse me, I've had them go off

4394
02:36:21,650 --> 02:36:23,350
like false positive.

4395
02:36:23,810 --> 02:36:25,070
And here's what the pilots do.

4396
02:36:25,150 --> 02:36:25,710
How do you feel?

4397
02:36:25,770 --> 02:36:26,270
You feel okay?

4398
02:36:26,330 --> 02:36:26,470
Yeah.

4399
02:36:26,530 --> 02:36:27,150
You feel funny?

4400
02:36:27,150 --> 02:36:27,890
No, I feel good.

4401
02:36:27,950 --> 02:36:28,170
All right.

4402
02:36:28,250 --> 02:36:28,510
Feel good.

4403
02:36:28,550 --> 02:36:28,830
You sure?

4404
02:36:28,990 --> 02:36:29,210
Okay.

4405
02:36:29,370 --> 02:36:29,550
All right.

4406
02:36:29,570 --> 02:36:29,910
Feel good.

4407
02:36:29,970 --> 02:36:30,410
All right.

4408
02:36:30,850 --> 02:36:31,470
That's your check.

4409
02:36:34,610 --> 02:36:36,570
Because if you feel funny, then you know,

4410
02:36:36,650 --> 02:36:37,050
I am.

4411
02:36:37,110 --> 02:36:38,730
If you feel funny, you're in trouble.

4412
02:36:38,950 --> 02:36:39,430
Open the window.

4413
02:36:39,650 --> 02:36:40,910
I want to do something like that.

4414
02:36:41,190 --> 02:36:41,750

In only a...

4426
02:37:02,290 --> 02:37:03,690
I appreciate giving you grief for that.

4427
02:37:04,030 --> 02:37:06,790

4428

of project.

4429
02:37:08,330 --> 02:37:10,010
Might as well be in somebody's dreams.

4430
02:37:11,430 --> 02:37:12,370
End of show mixes.

4431
02:37:12,690 --> 02:37:14,290
MVP is back on.

4432
02:37:14,390 --> 02:37:16,090
And Molly Berry comes in.

4433
02:37:16,250 --> 02:37:17,870
Molly Berry did the Order of the Heart.

4434
02:37:18,830 --> 02:37:19,950
End of show mix.

4435
02:37:20,110 --> 02:37:20,290
Yep.

4436
02:37:20,710 --> 02:37:22,070
I am your sloperator.

4437
02:37:22,270 --> 02:37:23,530
Playing those tunes for you.

4438
02:37:24,250 --> 02:37:25,990
You know, these mixes today are pretty good.

4439
02:37:26,150 --> 02:37:26,410
They are.

4440
02:37:26,530 --> 02:37:27,490
Well, they have good lyrics.

4441
02:37:27,650 --> 02:37:29,270
People are figuring out how to, you know,

4442
02:37:29,330 --> 02:37:30,450
use good lyrics.

4443
02:37:30,590 --> 02:37:31,030
And then it's...

4444
02:37:31,950 --> 02:37:35,890
It's not as offensive that it's AI.

4445
02:37:36,830 --> 02:37:38,750
But you know, according to Rick Beto, we'll

4446
02:37:38,750 --> 02:37:40,470
all be making them ourselves on our Mac

4447
02:37:40,470 --> 02:37:41,170
minis at home.

02:37:42,350 --> 02:37:45,730

Fifty bucks, gonna do it now.

4494
02:39:50,430 --> 02:39:51,970
Fifty bucks, take a bow.

Fifty bucks, every show.

4496
02:39:57,430 --> 02:40:00,530
Anyone for this fine golden flow?

4497
02:40:00,530 --> 02:40:03,530
Going twice, are you sure?

4498
02:40:04,570 --> 02:40:07,370
It's really nice.

4499
02:40:07,490 --> 02:40:08,890
Fifty-five, I got fifty-five.

02:40:15,310 --> 02:40:16,390
Sixty-five, eighty.

4505
02:40:16,910 --> 02:40:18,390
Eighty and sold for eighty.

4506
02:40:18,550 --> 02:40:20,490
To the man with the lady.

4507
02:40:32,550 --> 02:40:34,870
I felt the cold night air in the

4508
02:40:34,870 --> 02:40:36,390
borrowed breath.

4509
02:40:36,510 --> 02:40:40,070
I felt the shadow creeping like a second

4510
02:40:40,070 --> 02:40:40,650
death.

4511
02:40:40,770 --> 02:40:43,890
Hand on my heart, felt the spark ignite.

4512
02:40:44,650 --> 02:40:47,450
In the dark, I was marked by the

4513
02:40:47,450 --> 02:40:48,510
red night.

4514
02:40:49,350 --> 02:40:52,330
In the grip of death, couldn't feel my

4515
02:40:52,330 --> 02:40:53,170
veins.

4516
02:40:53,430 --> 02:40:56,370
But if I came back when I spoke

4517
02:40:56,370 --> 02:40:56,960
his name.

4518
02:40:57,840 --> 02:41:00,340
We are the knights that won't give in.

4519
02:41:00,440 --> 02:41:02,380
The order of the heart begins.

4520
02:41:02,660 --> 02:41:04,680
No agenda, just stay alive.

4521
02:41:04,860 --> 02:41:06,820
Through the dark, we'll learn to fight.

4522
02:41:06,980 --> 02:41:10,220
Out of the black, into the light.

4523
02:41:10,460 --> 02:41:13,940
I ride with the flame of the red

4524
02:41:13,940 --> 02:41:14,480
night.

4525
02:41:15,880 --> 02:41:18,420
No fear left, no compromise.

4526
02:41:19,520 --> 02:41:22,740
I saw the edge and I chose to

4527
02:41:22,740 --> 02:41:23,760
rise.

4528
02:41:23,760 --> 02:41:28,240
Pulled my breath back from the edge.

4529
02:41:28,360 --> 02:41:32,840
Took my life back from the very ledge.

4530
02:41:32,860 --> 02:41:34,900
We are the knights that won't give in.

4531
02:41:35,500 --> 02:41:37,020
The order of the heart begins.

4532
02:41:37,280 --> 02:41:39,200
In the morning, I'm still alive.

4533
02:41:39,460 --> 02:41:41,500
I survive the grip of the night.

4534
02:41:41,580 --> 02:41:44,820
Out of the dark, into the light.

4535
02:41:45,140 --> 02:41:48,820
With the red night, I survive.

4536
02:41:49,500 --> 02:41:56,080
The best podcast in the universe!

4537
02:41:56,600 --> 02:41:57,980
Adios, mofo.

4538
02:41:58,080 --> 02:42:01,680
Dvorak.org slash N-A.

4539
02:42:02,500 --> 02:42:03,060
See ya.

4540
02:42:03,380 --> 02:42:03,980
Catch you later.

4541
02:42:04,300 --> 02:42:04,940
Take it easy.
