1
00:00:00,260 --> 00:00:01,120
It's on the fritz.

2
00:00:01,140 --> 00:00:02,220
It's on the fritz, man.

3
00:00:02,380 --> 00:00:02,860
Jiggle the handles.

4
00:00:02,860 --> 00:00:03,940
That's better than glitch.

5
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,120
Adam Curry.

6
00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:05,940
John C.

7
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:06,520
Dvorak.

8
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,360
And it's Thursday, December 5th, 2024.

9
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:10,300
This is your award-winning Cuban Nation Media

10
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:12,620
Assassination Episode 17-18.

11
00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:14,760
This is no agenda.

12
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:16,640
Defend.

13
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:17,260
Oppose.

14
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:17,960
Deny.

15
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:20,620
And broadcasting live from the heart of the

16
00:00:20,620 --> 00:00:22,600
Texas Hill Country, right here in FEMA Region

17
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:23,240
Number 6.

18
00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:24,460
Good morning, everybody.

19
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:25,500
I'm Adam Curry.

20
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,460
And from northern Silicon Valley, where they're shooting

21
00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:30,520
the CEOs and they're shooting the I'm John

22
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:30,680
C.

23
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:31,140
Dvorak.

24
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:32,840
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.

25
00:00:33,460 --> 00:00:34,400
In the morning.

26
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,320
Man, I got to tell you, it's, New

27
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,260
York is, is, is bonkers.

28
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:43,300
It's bonkers.

29
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,180
So, you know what everyone in New York

30
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:46,160
is posting online?

31
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:48,380
Uh, no.

32
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,780
This guy's a hero.

33
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,240
Oh, gosh.

34
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:52,740
Yeah.

35
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,780
That's a, you know, when it, when this

36
00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:56,740
happened, one of the first things I thought

37
00:00:56,740 --> 00:00:58,320
of was a thing I used to say

38
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,580
back in the late 90s about some of

39
00:01:01,580 --> 00:01:04,620
these big shots should be careful because they

40
00:01:04,620 --> 00:01:06,200
could find their heads on a stick.

41
00:01:06,420 --> 00:01:06,660
Yeah.

42
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,180
If the public ever revolted and shoot this

43
00:01:10,180 --> 00:01:10,500
guy.

44
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,500
And here we are.

45
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:14,100
I'm thinking, well, this will be interesting to

46
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:14,920
see how this goes.

47
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,480
I mean, they're literally, they're like, hey, and

48
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,740
he even went to Starbucks.

49
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,340
That guy is awesome.

50
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,640
It's like the new Batman.

51
00:01:22,820 --> 00:01:23,960
He took down the elite.

52
00:01:24,820 --> 00:01:26,960
Well, they have pictures of his face now.

53
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,940
He looks and, oh, by the way, he's,

54
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:30,880
he's dreaming.

55
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,700
Well, I'm just telling you what they're saying,

56
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,020
man.

57
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:36,480
This is, this is what the kids are

58
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:36,780
saying.

59
00:01:36,980 --> 00:01:38,460
Well, he's got a nice, I see this

60
00:01:38,460 --> 00:01:39,000
one picture.

61
00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:40,180
He's got a nice smile.

62
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:40,960
Yeah.

63
00:01:40,980 --> 00:01:41,880
But that's what you want.

64
00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:45,160
That's, this is the perfect supervillain, even though

65
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:45,800
he's a hero.

66
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:50,600
It is bizarre, but in some ways, maybe

67
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,560
not unexpected.

68
00:01:52,260 --> 00:01:54,500
I mean, I defend the foes.

69
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,560
The first, well, did you hear about this?

70
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:57,120
Yeah.

71
00:01:57,180 --> 00:01:59,360
Those are the inscriptions on some of the

72
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,200
bullets they found.

73
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:00,420
Yeah.

74
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:01,700
Here, I got a short clip.

75
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:04,900
Police are calling UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's death

76
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:08,060
brazen and targeted, saying the killer shot Thompson

77
00:02:08,060 --> 00:02:10,360
in the back and the leg before fleeing

78
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,620
on a bike and disappearing into Central Park.

79
00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:15,160
Thompson's wife now says her husband had been

80
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,060
receiving threats before this happened.

81
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,820
News Nation's Alex Capriello is live in New

82
00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:21,520
York City for us this morning, following the

83
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:21,820
latest.

84
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,600
Alex, police may have a clue based on

85
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,520
the shell casings left at the scene.

86
00:02:26,740 --> 00:02:28,260
What more do we know about that?

87
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:28,700
Yeah.

88
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,040
When you take a look at that video,

89
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,240
you could see the suspect in this case

90
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,300
firing that weapon multiple times.

91
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,760
And when that happens, cartridges are automatically ejected

92
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,920
from that weapon itself.

93
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:44,660
And on those actual casings, according to New

94
00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:47,280
York Police Department sources, they had words that

95
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,540
were actually etched into them, specifically defend, depose,

96
00:02:51,820 --> 00:02:52,500
and deny.

97
00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:56,260
Those are clues potentially onto a possible motive

98
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:57,680
that this shooter might have had.

99
00:02:57,900 --> 00:02:59,860
But at this point, New York Police are

100
00:02:59,860 --> 00:03:01,940
not saying exactly what that motive is.

101
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,320
They're still trying to work that out using

102
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,580
these as an indication, as well as the

103
00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:08,940
other evidence that was left behind, specifically a

104
00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:11,140
cell phone in which these police officers have

105
00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:13,180
obtained a search warrant to go through and

106
00:03:13,180 --> 00:03:15,800
to try to piece together exactly why this

107
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,860
50-year-old CEO was targeted.

108
00:03:18,380 --> 00:03:20,660
This is a very, all of a sudden,

109
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:22,320
I mean, first I heard this yesterday, I'm

110
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,280
like, oh, that sucks.

111
00:03:23,420 --> 00:03:24,300
I mean, this is no good.

112
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,060
Then it took this, this is an amazing

113
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:28,240
turns of events.

114
00:03:28,660 --> 00:03:31,480
This the etchings on the bullet casings, which

115
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,220
I mean, I mean, that's obviously a message.

116
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,440
We have a cell phone that is left.

117
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,940
The guy jumps on a complete trackable city

118
00:03:40,940 --> 00:03:41,340
bike.

119
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,760
He's hanging out at Starbucks, smiling.

120
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,560
He's wearing a very obvious gray backpack.

121
00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:52,620
He has some kind of weapon that, at

122
00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:57,200
least he seemed semi-capable, and there's a

123
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,780
lot of things going on here.

124
00:03:59,620 --> 00:04:02,360
And I immediately, I'm like, I got to,

125
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,440
you know, okay, shooter, whatever.

126
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:08,280
Well, everyone's getting all gaga eyes over the

127
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,500
dreaminess of this guy.

128
00:04:10,340 --> 00:04:11,900
What is the motive?

129
00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:15,060
And I found one clip that gives us,

130
00:04:15,220 --> 00:04:18,260
I think, four possible motives for this hit.

131
00:04:18,420 --> 00:04:21,300
Well, David, ABC News heard from Brian Thompson's

132
00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:23,680
wife a short while ago in a statement.

133
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,720
Paulette Thompson wrote, we are shattered to hear

134
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,420
about the senseless killing of our beloved Brian.

135
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:33,360
Brian was an incredibly loving, generous, talented man

136
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,620
who truly lived life to the fullest and

137
00:04:35,620 --> 00:04:36,960
touched so many lives.

138
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,340
Most importantly, Brian was an incredibly loving father

139
00:04:41,340 --> 00:04:43,820
to our two sons and will be greatly

140
00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:44,560
missed.

141
00:04:44,860 --> 00:04:48,260
So from our folks in Minnesota, producers on

142
00:04:48,260 --> 00:04:52,020
the ground, the word up there is crimpassionel,

143
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,420
especially the statement where she doesn't say he

144
00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:56,320
was a great husband.

145
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:58,540
Huh?

146
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:00,500
Sketchy.

147
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:01,520
You never know.

148
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,680
Well, that could be reporting too.

149
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,380
You don't know she didn't say that.

150
00:05:05,380 --> 00:05:06,040
Well, they had.

151
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:06,880
Of course it could.

152
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,280
But they had the they had the words

153
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:09,220
on the screen, John.

154
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:10,080
So it must be true.

155
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,100
But then there's more.

156
00:05:11,740 --> 00:05:14,140
The company's headquarters are based in Minnesota.

157
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:16,820
And right now, flags are flying at half

158
00:05:16,820 --> 00:05:19,580
staff outside the building in honor of Thompson.

159
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,140
In fact, Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota

160
00:05:22,140 --> 00:05:26,120
and former vice presidential candidate, addressed Thompson's killing

161
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,560
on X, writing, this is horrifying news and

162
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,780
a terrible loss for the business and health

163
00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:33,200
care community in Minnesota.

164
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,160
Minnesota is sending our prayers to Brian's family

165
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,580
and the UnitedHealthcare team.

166
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,080
So then you have Waltz.

167
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,300
And this is where my head went to,

168
00:05:44,460 --> 00:05:46,480
OK, so this guy is a CEO of

169
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:46,640
this.

170
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,820
And it's coming up in a minute.

171
00:05:47,940 --> 00:05:50,840
There was all kinds of DOJ investigations and

172
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:53,920
also Medicaid related issues.

173
00:05:54,460 --> 00:05:56,660
You know, Medicaid has been overbilled by like

174
00:05:56,660 --> 00:05:58,360
nine billion dollars a year.

175
00:05:58,780 --> 00:05:59,480
Oh, yeah, of course.

176
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,120
But these guys, their their revenue is four

177
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,200
hundred and fifty billion dollars a year.

178
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,520
So a little bit that sticks to the,

179
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,980
you know, that that sticks to someone else's

180
00:06:09,980 --> 00:06:12,140
pocket could be a lot bigger than most

181
00:06:12,140 --> 00:06:12,920
other companies.

182
00:06:13,860 --> 00:06:16,440
And according to reports, as I have here

183
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,300
from the AP, a number of Medicaid related

184
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:21,020
programs have suffered from fraud and waste under

185
00:06:21,020 --> 00:06:21,720
Waltz.

186
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,300
So just interesting that in this report we

187
00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:26,020
get that coming out and then we continue.

188
00:06:26,020 --> 00:06:29,100
As for Thompson's career with the company, he

189
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:33,020
became CEO of the nation's largest health insurer,

190
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,040
UnitedHealthcare, back in 2021.

191
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,060
And before that, he was CEO of UnitedHealthcare's

192
00:06:39,060 --> 00:06:41,940
government programs, including Medicare and retirement.

193
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,840
But he has been with the company since

194
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:47,140
2004, when he was hired as a director

195
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:48,680
of corporate development.

196
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:52,960
UnitedHealthgroup released a statement saying, in part, Brian

197
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,020
was a highly respected colleague and friend to

198
00:06:56,020 --> 00:06:57,120
all who worked with him.

199
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,400
We are working closely with the New York

200
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,680
Police Department and ask for your patience and

201
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,140
understanding during this difficult time.

202
00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:08,260
Now, the Department of Justice has been investigating

203
00:07:08,260 --> 00:07:13,280
UnitedHealthcare for antitrust issues, and SEC filings show

204
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,880
Thompson and another UnitedHealthcare executive sold millions of

205
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,520
dollars in UnitedHealthcare shares in the months before

206
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,620
that DOJ investigation became known to investors or

207
00:07:25,620 --> 00:07:26,360
to the public.

208
00:07:26,540 --> 00:07:28,900
Of course, there is still no word from

209
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:33,120
investigators on any possible motive for today's shooting.

210
00:07:33,580 --> 00:07:36,620
So there's the maybe this was other board

211
00:07:36,620 --> 00:07:38,000
members or other people.

212
00:07:38,180 --> 00:07:40,160
The guy was, after all, in charge of

213
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,180
that division before he became CEO.

214
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,460
And they didn't want, you know, dead man

215
00:07:44,460 --> 00:07:45,160
can't talk.

216
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,640
Maybe that's what's going on.

217
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:52,330
It's always possible.

218
00:07:52,330 --> 00:07:54,830
Do you have any thoughts or are you

219
00:07:54,830 --> 00:07:54,990
just.

220
00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:56,630
Well, I don't think this was a professional

221
00:07:56,630 --> 00:07:58,890
hit based on what other people have said.

222
00:07:59,070 --> 00:08:00,090
No, not professional.

223
00:08:00,290 --> 00:08:00,830
No, no.

224
00:08:01,110 --> 00:08:02,130
So it's a.

225
00:08:02,210 --> 00:08:02,750
But it was a hit.

226
00:08:02,810 --> 00:08:03,610
I mean, I think it was.

227
00:08:03,710 --> 00:08:05,490
I think it's I think it's somebody that

228
00:08:05,490 --> 00:08:07,370
got screwed by the company, I think.

229
00:08:07,490 --> 00:08:08,910
And they blamed him and they went to

230
00:08:08,910 --> 00:08:10,750
him and they this guy who make who

231
00:08:10,750 --> 00:08:12,870
his salary, I think, was around 10 million

232
00:08:12,870 --> 00:08:14,310
plus a year plus stock.

233
00:08:14,570 --> 00:08:16,030
It's better than podcasting.

234
00:08:16,810 --> 00:08:18,190
Better than podcasting.

235
00:08:18,190 --> 00:08:20,170
Just and that's Joe Rogan.

236
00:08:20,170 --> 00:08:20,790
True.

237
00:08:23,010 --> 00:08:27,310
And he, you know, seemed callous and of

238
00:08:27,310 --> 00:08:28,150
a sort.

239
00:08:28,830 --> 00:08:30,150
And I can see somebody.

240
00:08:30,330 --> 00:08:31,809
And this, I think, is something that's going

241
00:08:31,809 --> 00:08:32,150
to happen.

242
00:08:32,570 --> 00:08:35,169
This is not this is nothing.

243
00:08:35,510 --> 00:08:38,210
I think the entire medical establishment is up

244
00:08:38,210 --> 00:08:39,870
for grabs when it comes to this sort

245
00:08:39,870 --> 00:08:41,850
of thing, which is they have not been

246
00:08:41,850 --> 00:08:42,730
serving the public.

247
00:08:42,730 --> 00:08:43,950
They've been serving themselves.

248
00:08:44,470 --> 00:08:45,650
I, I agree.

249
00:08:45,650 --> 00:08:48,350
And I think that the words defend, depose,

250
00:08:48,450 --> 00:08:52,490
deny relates directly to how they are accused

251
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:55,350
of often being very difficult to settle, being

252
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:57,110
very difficult to pay out.

253
00:08:57,770 --> 00:09:00,010
And I found an interesting video.

254
00:09:00,190 --> 00:09:02,070
I pulled two short clips from the insurance

255
00:09:02,070 --> 00:09:07,710
watchdog coalition who explain United Health Care and

256
00:09:07,710 --> 00:09:08,690
how it works.

257
00:09:08,930 --> 00:09:10,890
This is this is the intro to all

258
00:09:10,890 --> 00:09:13,250
the different pieces because it's not just insurance.

259
00:09:13,250 --> 00:09:15,430
You might know United Health as an insurance

260
00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:17,550
company, but it's actually more than that.

261
00:09:18,070 --> 00:09:21,410
It's a multinational conglomerate, a vertical monopoly.

262
00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:24,910
United Health is the largest for profit domestic

263
00:09:24,910 --> 00:09:25,990
health insurance company.

264
00:09:26,570 --> 00:09:28,090
It's gobbled up doctor's offices.

265
00:09:28,730 --> 00:09:31,410
Ninety thousand physicians now work directly for United

266
00:09:31,410 --> 00:09:33,870
Health, the largest employer of doctors in the

267
00:09:33,870 --> 00:09:34,190
country.

268
00:09:35,010 --> 00:09:37,710
United Health owns a dominant pharmacy benefit manager.

269
00:09:38,190 --> 00:09:40,410
They decide which medicine you can get and

270
00:09:40,410 --> 00:09:41,350
how much you pay for it.

271
00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:44,150
United Health operates a software and data company

272
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:46,850
which helps United Insurance decide how to deny

273
00:09:46,850 --> 00:09:47,610
your claims.

274
00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:50,590
On top of all this, United Health also

275
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:54,410
owns pharmacies, primary care clinics, surgery centers, urgent

276
00:09:54,410 --> 00:09:57,850
care centers, home health agencies, hospice care agencies

277
00:09:57,850 --> 00:09:59,350
and mental health agencies.

278
00:09:59,770 --> 00:10:01,910
When you need health care, there's a chance

279
00:10:01,910 --> 00:10:03,950
United Health makes money every step of the

280
00:10:03,950 --> 00:10:04,210
way.

281
00:10:04,910 --> 00:10:07,450
They even own a bank which allows them

282
00:10:07,450 --> 00:10:09,270
to control when, where and how their doctors

283
00:10:09,270 --> 00:10:09,770
get paid.

284
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:13,150
As one report put it, United Health is

285
00:10:13,150 --> 00:10:15,850
pushing to control every piece of patient care

286
00:10:15,850 --> 00:10:17,030
outside of the hospital.

287
00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:18,730
It's not by accident.

288
00:10:19,310 --> 00:10:21,450
Being a sole source, single payer monopoly is

289
00:10:21,450 --> 00:10:22,890
United Health's business model.

290
00:10:23,450 --> 00:10:24,530
That's the business model.

291
00:10:24,810 --> 00:10:27,350
And here's how it works, how you make

292
00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:30,890
up to 450 billion dollars, half, almost half

293
00:10:30,890 --> 00:10:32,950
a trillion dollars a year in revenue.

294
00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:34,990
United Health set up a company to expand

295
00:10:34,990 --> 00:10:37,150
its business from only providing insurance.

296
00:10:37,150 --> 00:10:39,230
They even gave it a different name so

297
00:10:39,230 --> 00:10:41,550
consumers won't know it's really just United Health.

298
00:10:42,290 --> 00:10:43,150
It's called Optum.

299
00:10:44,050 --> 00:10:47,310
Optum employs pharmacy benefit managers and doctors and

300
00:10:47,310 --> 00:10:49,810
they own surgery care centers and urgent care

301
00:10:49,810 --> 00:10:50,210
clinics.

302
00:10:50,970 --> 00:10:54,410
Let's start with the pharmacy benefits manager, OptumRx,

303
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:57,330
which is the middleman controlled by big insurance

304
00:10:57,330 --> 00:10:58,810
that sets drug prices.

305
00:11:00,130 --> 00:11:03,050
Across the country, independent pharmacies are closing up

306
00:11:03,050 --> 00:11:06,910
shop because Optum is underpaying medication reimbursement rates.

307
00:11:07,850 --> 00:11:10,550
Optum doesn't just pressure pharmacies to increase their

308
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:11,070
bottom line.

309
00:11:11,490 --> 00:11:14,410
They're gouging customers with high prices on lifesaving

310
00:11:14,410 --> 00:11:14,790
drugs.

311
00:11:15,530 --> 00:11:16,370
Here's how it works.

312
00:11:16,990 --> 00:11:18,590
Optum will tell you their job is to

313
00:11:18,590 --> 00:11:21,810
negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies and work

314
00:11:21,810 --> 00:11:24,370
with insurance companies to decide which drugs are

315
00:11:24,370 --> 00:11:24,650
covered.

316
00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:28,030
But Optum is owned by an insurance company,

317
00:11:28,430 --> 00:11:29,030
United Health.

318
00:11:29,510 --> 00:11:31,550
It's negotiating with itself.

319
00:11:31,970 --> 00:11:33,090
It sets the price.

320
00:11:33,450 --> 00:11:34,450
It sets the profit.

321
00:11:35,090 --> 00:11:35,930
Total control.

322
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:40,610
Yeah, that system's no good.

323
00:11:41,770 --> 00:11:42,690
You think?

324
00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:44,130
A real problem with that system.

325
00:11:44,250 --> 00:11:46,550
And this also puts that Optum hack from,

326
00:11:47,470 --> 00:11:48,930
what was it, maybe six months ago?

327
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:50,190
Puts that into a different light.

328
00:11:50,250 --> 00:11:53,090
You remember when all these, the whole, like

329
00:11:53,090 --> 00:11:55,310
a large portion of the medical system was

330
00:11:55,310 --> 00:11:58,610
just frozen from some kind of cyber security

331
00:11:58,610 --> 00:12:01,790
attack, which we really never got the full

332
00:12:02,570 --> 00:12:03,270
lowdown on.

333
00:12:03,470 --> 00:12:04,130
It never will.

334
00:12:04,630 --> 00:12:06,390
No, and it might have been ransomware.

335
00:12:06,390 --> 00:12:07,850
This is a mess.

336
00:12:08,410 --> 00:12:09,350
This is a mess.

337
00:12:09,810 --> 00:12:12,030
And I'm surprised when his wife, we don't

338
00:12:12,030 --> 00:12:13,350
know if she said it, but she said

339
00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:16,010
there were other threats against his life.

340
00:12:16,090 --> 00:12:17,590
So this guy thinks it's a good idea

341
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:19,190
if there's threats against your life as the

342
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:23,810
CEO of a $450 billion revenue company to

343
00:12:23,810 --> 00:12:25,850
go toodling out in New York City at

344
00:12:25,850 --> 00:12:28,290
7 a.m. without any security?

345
00:12:29,490 --> 00:12:31,230
Man, Joe Rogan's smarter than that.

346
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:34,540
So.

347
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:38,500
Yeah, well, at first, you know, somebody was,

348
00:12:38,580 --> 00:12:39,860
I know some of the, I've looked at

349
00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:41,340
these comments too, and somebody said, well, that

350
00:12:41,340 --> 00:12:41,860
guy's an idiot.

351
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:42,780
He didn't have security.

352
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,640
Man, you know, not everybody has to walk

353
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,300
around, every CEO in the world doesn't need

354
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:49,720
security, that's for sure.

355
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,560
But if you look at it from the

356
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:55,200
perspective of a company that is probably the

357
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,400
basis and part and parcel of the entire

358
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,840
medical system's corruption.

359
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,560
You might want to protect that guy.

360
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:04,240
You might.

361
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,760
Yes, you might want to have more than

362
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,320
a couple of guys looking around, you know,

363
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,580
talking to their lapels.

364
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,900
But if this is, you know, Occam's razor,

365
00:13:14,060 --> 00:13:16,640
if this is someone who's just pissed off

366
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,980
about the whole situation, well, this could be

367
00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:22,280
the beginning of, I mean, seriously, if you

368
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,200
look on X and you look on Instagram,

369
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,560
people are just like, wow, this guy is

370
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:27,740
good.

371
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,860
These guys, it's like the hero.

372
00:13:29,860 --> 00:13:31,140
Yeah, the little guy.

373
00:13:31,340 --> 00:13:32,380
And, you know, he went out there and

374
00:13:32,380 --> 00:13:33,800
he killed one of the elites.

375
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:36,820
This could be just the beginning.

376
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,940
If I was, you know, this is the

377
00:13:39,940 --> 00:13:42,160
good side of being a lowly podcaster.

378
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,880
This is something you shouldn't have to worry

379
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:47,440
about.

380
00:13:47,540 --> 00:13:48,480
No, no.

381
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,260
But I can see, but I would say

382
00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:54,240
CEO, especially nowadays where the CEOs are, I

383
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,880
would say generally, not all of them, but

384
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,500
a lot of them are overpaid to an

385
00:13:58,500 --> 00:13:59,040
extreme.

386
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,560
And they are leveraged and they are part

387
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:06,600
of a corrupt system of gougers.

388
00:14:06,940 --> 00:14:07,040
Yeah.

389
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,240
And it ruins people's lives.

390
00:14:10,220 --> 00:14:11,820
That have ruined people's lives.

391
00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:12,560
This is good.

392
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,700
This is not a, I'm surprised this hasn't

393
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:17,620
happened or isn't happening as we speak for

394
00:14:17,620 --> 00:14:19,120
the last five, six years.

395
00:14:19,340 --> 00:14:22,400
And your other prediction that, you know, soon

396
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,880
we'll get some of these kids who are

397
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,620
transitioned and are going to wake up and

398
00:14:25,620 --> 00:14:26,240
go, what?

399
00:14:26,860 --> 00:14:27,620
Where'd that go?

400
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,320
And they're going to start getting mad too.

401
00:14:31,420 --> 00:14:32,840
And they're going to go after doctors and

402
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,620
maybe CEOs.

403
00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:35,600
The CEO is, that's a pretty big message.

404
00:14:35,740 --> 00:14:37,040
And that message is clear.

405
00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:38,420
It's clear.

406
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,620
I mean, how much more clear could you

407
00:14:43,620 --> 00:14:47,280
make it with your, what is the sequence

408
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:47,520
again?

409
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,280
Deny, depose, defy.

410
00:14:50,060 --> 00:14:51,320
Defend, depose, deny.

411
00:14:51,620 --> 00:14:51,820
Defend.

412
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:52,720
Defend, depose.

413
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:53,540
So you defend.

414
00:14:53,540 --> 00:14:54,720
Defend the cases.

415
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:55,980
Depose everybody.

416
00:14:56,460 --> 00:14:57,300
Deny payment.

417
00:14:57,780 --> 00:14:58,000
No.

418
00:14:58,060 --> 00:14:58,340
And then.

419
00:14:58,340 --> 00:15:01,200
No, depose, depose, no, depose.

420
00:15:01,340 --> 00:15:02,920
It's defend, depose, deny.

421
00:15:03,540 --> 00:15:04,760
So defend is like, oh, no, no, no.

422
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,000
There was no order.

423
00:15:06,140 --> 00:15:07,920
There were just three random bullets they found

424
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,520
on the street.

425
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,240
Oh, I thought that the three, no, I

426
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,380
thought it was in order on each casing.

427
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,520
No, that's not my understanding.

428
00:15:15,740 --> 00:15:17,460
I understand that each casing had a word

429
00:15:17,460 --> 00:15:17,740
on it.

430
00:15:17,780 --> 00:15:18,040
Really?

431
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,200
Oh, that's even, that's even more crazy.

432
00:15:21,660 --> 00:15:23,840
And I was wondering, because a professional hitman

433
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,080
doesn't leave casings.

434
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:25,760
No.

435
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,780
No, well, a professional hitman doesn't do something

436
00:15:28,780 --> 00:15:31,100
in public like that either, except in the

437
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:31,600
movies.

438
00:15:32,020 --> 00:15:33,220
And what's with the suppressor?

439
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,840
I mean, it's New York.

440
00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:39,220
The whole thing is bizarre.

441
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,780
But yeah, it could be the beginning of

442
00:15:40,780 --> 00:15:43,160
some citizen revolt of some sort.

443
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,760
And there's also three unspent bullets because the

444
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,120
gun jammed, and so he's dicking around, I

445
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,600
guess, three shells fell on the deck too.

446
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,420
That's what I understand, at least with some

447
00:15:52,420 --> 00:15:52,820
reports.

448
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,440
Yeah, there's all kinds of opinions.

449
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,860
Unspent cartridges and three, now it's possible then

450
00:15:57,860 --> 00:15:59,740
that would explain if it was all three

451
00:15:59,740 --> 00:16:01,280
words were on all the cartridges.

452
00:16:02,020 --> 00:16:03,220
But that doesn't make sense.

453
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:04,160
It's too much work.

454
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,360
Well, and then what's up with getting on

455
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,160
a city bike?

456
00:16:09,580 --> 00:16:12,060
I mean, this would be the city bike

457
00:16:12,060 --> 00:16:12,660
assassin.

458
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,220
He's just going around killing people on city

459
00:16:17,220 --> 00:16:17,640
bikes.

460
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,760
I mean, it's horrible for him.

461
00:16:21,220 --> 00:16:22,500
It's horrible for his family.

462
00:16:23,140 --> 00:16:26,380
But it's very interesting from a podcasting perspective.

463
00:16:26,580 --> 00:16:28,860
Oh, from a sociological perspective, this could be

464
00:16:28,860 --> 00:16:29,440
a big deal.

465
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,160
Yeah, it could be.

466
00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:32,260
So that was just one of the small

467
00:16:32,260 --> 00:16:33,100
things that happened.

468
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:34,980
Yeah, there was another one.

469
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:36,600
I just said, what the hell was it?

470
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,520
It was, well, I don't know, like Joe

471
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,920
Biden pardoned his kid.

472
00:16:41,780 --> 00:16:42,180
What?

473
00:16:43,260 --> 00:16:44,840
After saying he wouldn't?

474
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:45,680
Oh, no.

475
00:16:45,940 --> 00:16:47,120
This was great.

476
00:16:47,460 --> 00:16:50,260
This would put a whole, everyone just, I

477
00:16:50,260 --> 00:16:50,880
mean, first of all.

478
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:51,980
It was on a show day.

479
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:52,620
Thank you.

480
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:53,000
Yeah, yeah.

481
00:16:53,020 --> 00:16:53,700
Thanks, guys.

482
00:16:54,020 --> 00:16:54,940
Thanks, Jill.

483
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,000
A lot of people immediately say this proves

484
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,520
that the real Joe Biden's alive.

485
00:17:01,660 --> 00:17:03,240
I say no, proves nothing.

486
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:05,359
Well, it doesn't prove anything one way or

487
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:05,680
the other.

488
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:06,020
No.

489
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:08,700
And of course, it made for some super

490
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:09,140
cuts.

491
00:17:09,540 --> 00:17:10,319
Did you get any?

492
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,660
I have some short ones.

493
00:17:11,940 --> 00:17:13,140
You've got it.

494
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:15,780
I don't think I have any super cuts.

495
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,599
The super cuts are always, well, there's two

496
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:19,660
or three of them floating around.

497
00:17:19,660 --> 00:17:21,280
They're all pretty similar.

498
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,079
And there's two forms.

499
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,280
One of them, all these left wing, mostly

500
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,200
MSNBC and CNN people defending Biden because he's

501
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,080
going to uphold justice and never pardon Hunter.

502
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,100
Yes, he's a good guy.

503
00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:34,040
Fools of themselves.

504
00:17:34,540 --> 00:17:34,640
Good guy.

505
00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:35,940
He's a good guy.

506
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:36,220
Yeah.

507
00:17:36,780 --> 00:17:40,000
And then there's the one of Kareem Jean

508
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,620
-Paul Pierre Abdul-Jabbar.

509
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,020
Let me ask you, will you accept the

510
00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:46,280
jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it

511
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:46,620
is?

512
00:17:46,860 --> 00:17:47,200
Yes.

513
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,440
And have you ruled out a pardon for

514
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:49,800
your son?

515
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,420
Is there any possibility that the president would

516
00:17:53,420 --> 00:17:54,780
end up pardoning his son?

517
00:17:55,180 --> 00:17:55,340
No.

518
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,960
I just said no.

519
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:58,700
I just answered.

520
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,380
Would the president pardon or commute his son

521
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:02,640
if he's convicted?

522
00:18:02,860 --> 00:18:04,280
So I've answered this question before.

523
00:18:04,380 --> 00:18:05,640
It was asked of me not too long

524
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,260
ago, a couple of weeks ago, and I

525
00:18:07,260 --> 00:18:08,600
was very clear and I said no.

526
00:18:08,940 --> 00:18:12,280
And I am satisfied that I'm not going

527
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:12,940
to do anything.

528
00:18:12,940 --> 00:18:15,360
I said I abide by the jury decision.

529
00:18:15,860 --> 00:18:17,440
I will do that and I will not

530
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,260
pardon him.

531
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:20,300
I've said several times that the president would

532
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:23,100
not pardon or commute the sentence for his

533
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:23,600
son, Hunter.

534
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:25,200
I just want to make sure that that

535
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,500
is not going to change over the next

536
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:26,860
six months.

537
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:28,580
The president's saying he would not.

538
00:18:28,820 --> 00:18:29,680
It's still a no.

539
00:18:29,940 --> 00:18:30,500
It's still a no.

540
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:31,460
It will always be a no.

541
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,440
It's still a no.

542
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,460
It will be a no.

543
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:34,520
It is a no.

544
00:18:34,820 --> 00:18:36,320
And I don't have anything else to add.

545
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,700
Will he pardon his son?

546
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:38,080
No.

547
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,120
His son, Hunter, is also up for being

548
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:43,600
sentenced next month.

549
00:18:43,740 --> 00:18:47,040
Does the president have any intention of pardoning

550
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:47,240
him?

551
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,320
We've been asked that question multiple times.

552
00:18:49,460 --> 00:18:51,100
Our answer stands, which is no.

553
00:18:51,180 --> 00:18:51,620
It's no.

554
00:18:51,820 --> 00:18:52,140
It's no.

555
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,060
That's KJP.

556
00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:54,940
And then we have another shorty from, I

557
00:18:54,940 --> 00:18:56,320
think, some media people.

558
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,820
Let me ask you, will you accept the

559
00:18:58,820 --> 00:19:01,080
jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it

560
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:01,340
is?

561
00:19:01,660 --> 00:19:01,960
Yes.

562
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,240
And have you ruled out a pardon for

563
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:04,580
your son?

564
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:05,440
Yes.

565
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,780
Is there any possibility- Wait, is this

566
00:19:07,780 --> 00:19:09,040
basically the same thing?

567
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:09,780
Hold on a second.

568
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:11,060
I said no.

569
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,700
And I am satisfied that I'm not going

570
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:15,360
to do anything.

571
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,780
I said I abide by the jury decision.

572
00:19:18,220 --> 00:19:19,880
I will do that, and I will not

573
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:20,460
pardon him.

574
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,960
The president would not.

575
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,760
No, I thought this was different.

576
00:19:25,220 --> 00:19:26,120
It's not the same clip.

577
00:19:26,260 --> 00:19:26,540
It's different.

578
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:27,500
No, it's remixed.

579
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,700
Where's the nut job?

580
00:19:29,780 --> 00:19:31,520
Our answer stands, which is no.

581
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,400
I'm not going to get into- Yeah,

582
00:19:34,540 --> 00:19:34,780
okay.

583
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,240
It's all the same, basically.

584
00:19:37,260 --> 00:19:39,780
Actually, most of them were either nine minutes,

585
00:19:39,820 --> 00:19:40,600
which was no good.

586
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:42,660
The nine minute one is the one I

587
00:19:42,660 --> 00:19:44,380
had, and I said- No, it's too

588
00:19:44,380 --> 00:19:44,700
much.

589
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,400
It's too much.

590
00:19:45,580 --> 00:19:48,200
It was nine minutes of mostly media people

591
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,260
saying, oh yeah, Joe's a great guy because

592
00:19:50,260 --> 00:19:51,880
he's going to not pardon his son.

593
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:55,560
And it was all MSNBC and CNN people,

594
00:19:55,660 --> 00:19:57,840
and they were all the same usual suspects,

595
00:19:58,020 --> 00:20:00,340
the dipshits that work for those stations that

596
00:20:00,340 --> 00:20:03,560
just spew Democrat propaganda points.

597
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,120
And they were doing anything to keep Trump

598
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,720
from getting elected, which didn't help because he

599
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:10,440
got no audience.

600
00:20:10,620 --> 00:20:12,240
I think one of the shows, the audience

601
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,960
has fallen to 38,000 listeners, viewers.

602
00:20:16,580 --> 00:20:16,820
Wow.

603
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,440
We have more trolls in the troll room.

604
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,240
It's pretty pathetic.

605
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,240
I'm sorry.

606
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,500
I was just saying, they just kept beating

607
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:29,080
it up.

608
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,660
And the real issue I think that they

609
00:20:32,660 --> 00:20:36,880
had was they were gloating at how fine

610
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,560
the president was because nobody was above the

611
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:39,880
law.

612
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,140
There's the other thing.

613
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,560
They had two themes.

614
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,300
Nobody was above the law.

615
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,900
Nobody was above the law.

616
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,960
Now they're switching their tune, and now it's,

617
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,820
well, it's clear that the Department of Justice

618
00:20:52,820 --> 00:20:53,760
is weaponized.

619
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,680
It's weaponized against everybody.

620
00:20:58,660 --> 00:21:00,640
Here's CBS on the pardon.

621
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:03,980
Arriving in Angola today, President Biden ignored questions

622
00:21:03,980 --> 00:21:05,380
about the pardon of his son.

623
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:10,000
The decision came after the president and his

624
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
press secretary had spent more than a year

625
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,500
claiming a pardon without the question.

626
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,300
I said I abide by the jury decision.

627
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:17,040
More supercut.

628
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,700
I will do that, and I will not

629
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:19,200
pardon him.

630
00:21:19,340 --> 00:21:21,060
We've been asked that question multiple times.

631
00:21:21,220 --> 00:21:22,860
Our answer stands, which is no.

632
00:21:23,060 --> 00:21:24,900
Notice they don't put the media in their

633
00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:25,460
supercuts.

634
00:21:25,740 --> 00:21:27,140
The sweeping nature of the pardon.

635
00:21:27,140 --> 00:21:28,320
No, heaven forbid.

636
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:29,220
Can't do that.

637
00:21:29,380 --> 00:21:31,340
Biden clears the president's son of all crimes

638
00:21:31,340 --> 00:21:34,080
he's committed or may have committed over 10

639
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:34,640
years.

640
00:21:35,060 --> 00:21:35,840
Well, it's unprecedented.

641
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,560
No president has ever pardoned their child before.

642
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,240
Pardon expert Jeffrey Crouch says its scope is

643
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,520
similar to the clemency Gerald Ford gave Richard

644
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,140
Nixon, who resigned amid the Watergate scandal.

645
00:21:46,580 --> 00:21:48,680
It's about as broad as any pardon that

646
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:49,460
I'm aware of.

647
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,040
It includes pretty much any potential federal offense

648
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,040
in the way that includes really anything that

649
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,000
happens within that particular time range.

650
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,160
The pardon came just a day after President

651
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,340
-elect Trump chose Kash Patel to run the

652
00:22:00,340 --> 00:22:03,460
FBI, a right wing operative who's criticized Hunter

653
00:22:03,460 --> 00:22:05,780
Biden and vowed to go after Trump's political

654
00:22:05,780 --> 00:22:06,320
rivals.

655
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,440
The president, in fact, suggested his son would

656
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,240
remain a target of the incoming administration, saying

657
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,300
there's no reason to believe it will stop

658
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:14,660
here.

659
00:22:15,180 --> 00:22:16,420
Enough is enough.

660
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,180
But several Democrats today said Biden had gone

661
00:22:19,180 --> 00:22:22,660
too far, calling the pardon improper and unwise.

662
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:24,400
Crimes are very serious.

663
00:22:24,740 --> 00:22:26,720
And this isn't singling out one individual.

664
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:29,820
Gary Shapley, an IRS investigator who worked on

665
00:22:29,820 --> 00:22:32,420
the Hunter Biden tax evasion case, took issue

666
00:22:32,420 --> 00:22:34,280
with the president's statement that his son faced

667
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,960
prosecution only because he is my son.

668
00:22:37,380 --> 00:22:38,320
And that is wrong.

669
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,700
If the Department of Justice truly is a

670
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:44,940
fair and treats every individual the same, then

671
00:22:44,940 --> 00:22:47,380
there's no way they could have not charged

672
00:22:47,380 --> 00:22:49,420
Hunter Biden with committing these acts.

673
00:22:50,060 --> 00:22:52,480
It was quite striking to see several Democratic

674
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,300
governors and lawmakers say today that while they

675
00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:56,760
understand a father's concern for his son, the

676
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,920
president tarnished his legacy and put the interests

677
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,440
of his family ahead of the country.

678
00:23:00,780 --> 00:23:03,060
They're also worried it could embolden Trump to

679
00:23:03,060 --> 00:23:05,980
abuse the same clemency powers once he takes

680
00:23:05,980 --> 00:23:06,300
office.

681
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,020
That's amazing.

682
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:07,580
Oh, yeah.

683
00:23:07,980 --> 00:23:09,520
Somehow they turn it on Trump.

684
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:09,940
Of course.

685
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:11,700
Well, no, they all turned it on Trump.

686
00:23:12,980 --> 00:23:14,120
It's Trump's fault.

687
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:19,340
NPR took it to the Nixon Watergate and

688
00:23:19,340 --> 00:23:22,860
the Nixon pardon, which I thought was an

689
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:24,020
interesting angle.

690
00:23:24,220 --> 00:23:26,460
I've read that the only comparable pardon with

691
00:23:26,460 --> 00:23:29,260
language as sweeping as this was President Gerald

692
00:23:29,260 --> 00:23:30,480
Ford's pardon of Nixon.

693
00:23:30,660 --> 00:23:31,760
Do you agree with that assessment?

694
00:23:32,340 --> 00:23:34,460
Yeah, that's correct.

695
00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:38,700
And similarly, it's about an instance where we

696
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:41,720
might think about what might be a politically

697
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,900
motivated or a politically concerned kind of prosecution.

698
00:23:45,180 --> 00:23:46,640
And if you want to make it blanket

699
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,820
to avoid, you know, any possibility that that

700
00:23:49,820 --> 00:23:51,840
person can still be prosecuted, that's the kind

701
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,980
of language you need to use.

702
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,580
But what it means is we arrive at

703
00:23:54,580 --> 00:23:57,160
today with a really weak record on clemency

704
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,780
on his part.

705
00:23:57,860 --> 00:24:00,160
So, you know, very few people have received

706
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,460
any kind of relief from him.

707
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,680
And so it looks like he just singled

708
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,560
out his own child, whereas I'm sure there's

709
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,320
a lot of parents in America saying, hey,

710
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,100
what about my kid?

711
00:24:08,660 --> 00:24:10,380
You know, he, you know, he, she, they

712
00:24:10,380 --> 00:24:12,680
have a meritorious case and there's been nothing

713
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,380
and, you know, followed all the rules, filed

714
00:24:14,380 --> 00:24:16,720
the petition, but still no ruling.

715
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,580
And that, I think, is the problem when

716
00:24:18,580 --> 00:24:20,500
it looks like you don't have a functioning

717
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:23,200
pardon system for regular people and it's just

718
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,300
people who know somebody.

719
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,380
A functioning pardon system.

720
00:24:26,860 --> 00:24:28,600
Hey, he pardoned those two turkeys.

721
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,120
I mean, he did that.

722
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,120
That was nice.

723
00:24:31,420 --> 00:24:32,300
No, it's three.

724
00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:33,600
Three, three.

725
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:34,680
Oh, including Hunter.

726
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,140
Bing.

727
00:24:36,580 --> 00:24:37,980
Here's the second piece of that.

728
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:40,520
I think that's important to highlight because we

729
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,400
often hear about pardons when they are high

730
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,740
profile, controversial individuals, but thousands and thousands of

731
00:24:45,740 --> 00:24:47,300
other people who may be worthy of a

732
00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:49,220
pardon whose names most of us have never

733
00:24:49,220 --> 00:24:50,460
heard apply every year.

734
00:24:50,540 --> 00:24:52,620
And you're saying in most cases under the

735
00:24:52,620 --> 00:24:54,660
Biden presidency have been rejected or ignored.

736
00:24:55,460 --> 00:24:55,980
Exactly.

737
00:24:56,220 --> 00:24:58,180
And he has a very low grant rate.

738
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,080
Historically speaking, it's really been mostly symbolic gestures

739
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,240
on his part, like the big announcement he

740
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,580
had for marijuana, people who had possessed marijuana.

741
00:25:07,580 --> 00:25:10,320
That didn't release anybody currently incarcerated.

742
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,560
I mean, he inherited a backlog of 18

743
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,460
,000 petitions when he took office and really

744
00:25:16,460 --> 00:25:17,400
just hasn't made a dent.

745
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,680
So it's a stark contrast to see the

746
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,960
Hunter Biden pardon when you're looking at how

747
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,720
the regular process has unfolded during his administration.

748
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:27,000
Wow.

749
00:25:27,580 --> 00:25:28,700
That's NPR.

750
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:29,200
Yeah.

751
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:31,440
They won't have her on again.

752
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,480
Oh, I mean, they've they've.

753
00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:36,180
Remember, just a few months ago, Joe had

754
00:25:36,180 --> 00:25:39,520
put country over party by stepping down, and

755
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,240
now he's put family over country.

756
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,540
It's just getting worse with him.

757
00:25:44,180 --> 00:25:45,840
He's going to be he's going to leave

758
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:46,340
in shame.

759
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,740
Will they even give him the helicopter?

760
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,440
I don't think so.

761
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,940
John John Stewart, of course, had a funny

762
00:25:52,940 --> 00:25:53,660
bit about it.

763
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:54,900
Faith in the rule of law.

764
00:25:54,900 --> 00:26:01,950
Finally, Democrats have a moral perch from which

765
00:26:01,950 --> 00:26:07,570
they can judge without shame, hypocrisy or nuance.

766
00:26:08,070 --> 00:26:09,050
Breaking news.

767
00:26:09,150 --> 00:26:11,810
President Biden has issued a pardon for his

768
00:26:11,810 --> 00:26:12,870
son, Hunter Biden.

769
00:26:15,470 --> 00:26:21,230
We were so close.

770
00:26:23,820 --> 00:26:24,330
Yeah.

771
00:26:24,330 --> 00:26:28,150
Yeah, I would recommend John Stewart's last two

772
00:26:28,150 --> 00:26:30,790
Monday shows, which was this last one this

773
00:26:30,790 --> 00:26:33,250
Monday, just the beginning, because the bits are

774
00:26:33,250 --> 00:26:34,510
quite good, well structured.

775
00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:36,470
And then he skipped a week.

776
00:26:36,570 --> 00:26:38,210
And then the week before that, he also

777
00:26:38,210 --> 00:26:40,970
did another show opening.

778
00:26:40,970 --> 00:26:42,670
That was, I thought, one of the best

779
00:26:42,670 --> 00:26:43,330
he's ever done.

780
00:26:43,910 --> 00:26:44,110
Yeah.

781
00:26:44,130 --> 00:26:44,690
What was it?

782
00:26:45,930 --> 00:26:48,610
It was about loopholes.

783
00:26:49,210 --> 00:26:51,710
This this one that you saw, this last

784
00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:54,570
one was actually part two of the of

785
00:26:54,570 --> 00:26:58,110
the original, which was about about rules, loopholes

786
00:26:58,110 --> 00:26:59,290
and norms.

787
00:26:59,850 --> 00:27:02,690
And it's extremely well written.

788
00:27:03,670 --> 00:27:07,410
So now there's reports from Politico.

789
00:27:07,590 --> 00:27:08,770
That's WAPO, right?

790
00:27:08,850 --> 00:27:09,290
Politico?

791
00:27:09,990 --> 00:27:10,910
No, no.

792
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:12,670
Who owns who owns Politico?

793
00:27:13,030 --> 00:27:15,250
Are they still independent operations?

794
00:27:15,910 --> 00:27:19,210
Biden White House is weighing preemptive pardons for

795
00:27:19,210 --> 00:27:23,290
potential Trump targets, such as Fauci, Schiff and

796
00:27:23,290 --> 00:27:23,950
Cheney.

797
00:27:24,090 --> 00:27:26,050
Yeah, I don't believe this to be true.

798
00:27:26,450 --> 00:27:28,670
Well, only because Politico said it.

799
00:27:28,710 --> 00:27:30,110
Would I mention it when it's in Daily

800
00:27:30,110 --> 00:27:30,430
Mail?

801
00:27:30,690 --> 00:27:31,210
Like, yeah, OK.

802
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:35,150
But everyone's afraid, you know, because of Kash

803
00:27:35,150 --> 00:27:35,510
Patel.

804
00:27:35,630 --> 00:27:38,330
Kash Patel is going to weaponize this department.

805
00:27:38,470 --> 00:27:39,370
Kash Patel.

806
00:27:39,410 --> 00:27:39,850
Kash Patel.

807
00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:41,730
I can tell you why they're afraid of

808
00:27:41,730 --> 00:27:42,470
Kash Patel.

809
00:27:43,110 --> 00:27:45,190
There's a I have a short clip and

810
00:27:45,190 --> 00:27:46,110
he was on.

811
00:27:47,070 --> 00:27:51,550
I said, Jeremy Ryan's podcast, Ryan, what his

812
00:27:51,550 --> 00:27:51,950
name is.

813
00:27:52,290 --> 00:27:55,310
He's some former military guy as a podcast

814
00:27:55,310 --> 00:27:56,410
and Kash is on there.

815
00:27:56,670 --> 00:27:59,490
And this is why Washington is worried.

816
00:27:59,570 --> 00:28:00,810
It's pretty much what we said he would

817
00:28:00,810 --> 00:28:01,290
be doing.

818
00:28:01,590 --> 00:28:03,490
Then we need to decrease what I call

819
00:28:03,490 --> 00:28:06,110
government creep with personnel.

820
00:28:07,150 --> 00:28:09,770
The FBI's footprint has gotten so freaking big.

821
00:28:10,370 --> 00:28:12,610
And the biggest problem the FBI has had

822
00:28:12,610 --> 00:28:14,070
has come out of its intel shelves.

823
00:28:14,550 --> 00:28:15,890
I'd break that component out of it.

824
00:28:16,270 --> 00:28:19,250
I'd shut down the FBI Hoover building on

825
00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:22,290
day one and reopening the next day as

826
00:28:22,290 --> 00:28:23,390
a museum of the deep state.

827
00:28:23,750 --> 00:28:25,930
And I take the 7000 employees that work

828
00:28:25,930 --> 00:28:28,430
in that building and send them across America

829
00:28:28,430 --> 00:28:29,390
to chase down criminals.

830
00:28:29,570 --> 00:28:30,210
Go be cops.

831
00:28:30,670 --> 00:28:31,490
You're cops.

832
00:28:31,850 --> 00:28:32,750
Go be cops.

833
00:28:33,190 --> 00:28:35,030
Go chase down murderers and rapists and drug

834
00:28:35,030 --> 00:28:36,010
dealers and violent offenders.

835
00:28:36,830 --> 00:28:38,590
What do you need 7000 people there for?

836
00:28:38,590 --> 00:28:39,730
Same thing with DOJ.

837
00:28:39,930 --> 00:28:41,590
What are all these people doing here?

838
00:28:41,930 --> 00:28:43,970
Looking for the next government promotion, looking for

839
00:28:43,970 --> 00:28:45,190
the next fancy government title.

840
00:28:45,530 --> 00:28:46,110
There you go.

841
00:28:46,750 --> 00:28:49,290
The funny thing about that particular clip is

842
00:28:49,290 --> 00:28:51,690
that if that the mainstream media and I

843
00:28:51,690 --> 00:28:53,110
think CBS in particular.

844
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:54,890
Oh, no, NBC.

845
00:28:55,030 --> 00:28:56,370
NBC is the worst right now.

846
00:28:56,690 --> 00:28:59,670
NBC in particular took that clip and only

847
00:28:59,670 --> 00:29:02,310
played, you know, promoting.

848
00:29:02,470 --> 00:29:04,990
I don't have the clip, but promoting the

849
00:29:04,990 --> 00:29:06,830
dangers of Kash Patel.

850
00:29:06,830 --> 00:29:09,930
Uh, and they took that clip and took

851
00:29:09,930 --> 00:29:12,210
the part where he says, uh, the first

852
00:29:12,210 --> 00:29:14,070
thing I would do is shut down the

853
00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:15,390
J Edgar Hoover building.

854
00:29:15,630 --> 00:29:17,030
And then they stop it right there.

855
00:29:17,030 --> 00:29:19,590
They stop after the before the punch line.

856
00:29:19,870 --> 00:29:20,130
Yeah.

857
00:29:20,190 --> 00:29:20,950
No punch lines.

858
00:29:21,070 --> 00:29:21,290
No, nothing.

859
00:29:21,390 --> 00:29:24,290
Just deep state, which implies that he's shutting

860
00:29:24,290 --> 00:29:25,210
down the FBI.

861
00:29:25,470 --> 00:29:26,310
Oh, man.

862
00:29:26,430 --> 00:29:27,850
How lame is that?

863
00:29:28,270 --> 00:29:31,370
NBC has become, you know, they've freaked out

864
00:29:31,370 --> 00:29:33,270
about their problems with them as NBC.

865
00:29:33,350 --> 00:29:34,550
And they're going to spin all that stuff

866
00:29:34,550 --> 00:29:34,890
off.

867
00:29:35,790 --> 00:29:38,070
And and but it is.

868
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:39,490
It's the it's the master.

869
00:29:39,990 --> 00:29:42,950
NBC News, the operation at the top is

870
00:29:42,950 --> 00:29:43,390
bad.

871
00:29:44,550 --> 00:29:45,090
Yeah.

872
00:29:46,190 --> 00:29:47,210
Who runs that?

873
00:29:47,270 --> 00:29:47,690
Do we know?

874
00:29:48,790 --> 00:29:49,450
I don't know.

875
00:29:49,490 --> 00:29:50,410
Offhand, I don't know.

876
00:29:51,150 --> 00:29:53,330
Of course, Trump took a handy advantage of

877
00:29:53,330 --> 00:29:55,610
the situation and spun everything around.

878
00:29:57,730 --> 00:30:00,190
Now asking a judge in New York to

879
00:30:00,190 --> 00:30:02,910
dismiss the verdict in his hush money case.

880
00:30:02,910 --> 00:30:06,130
And he is citing the pardon of Hunter

881
00:30:06,130 --> 00:30:07,730
Biden this past weekend.

882
00:30:08,070 --> 00:30:10,490
Trump's attorneys formally made the request to Judge

883
00:30:10,490 --> 00:30:14,170
Juan Marchand, saying the prosecution disrupts the president's

884
00:30:14,170 --> 00:30:17,670
elects transition and threatens to the function of

885
00:30:17,670 --> 00:30:18,690
the federal government.

886
00:30:19,170 --> 00:30:21,650
They also wrote, quote, as President Biden put

887
00:30:21,650 --> 00:30:22,190
it yesterday.

888
00:30:22,370 --> 00:30:23,250
Enough is enough.

889
00:30:23,370 --> 00:30:26,070
This case, which should never have been brought,

890
00:30:26,190 --> 00:30:27,430
must now be dismissed.

891
00:30:27,430 --> 00:30:30,650
Trump was convicted in May on 34 felony

892
00:30:30,650 --> 00:30:32,870
counts of falsifying business records.

893
00:30:32,990 --> 00:30:36,070
But Judge Marchand decided last week to indefinitely

894
00:30:36,070 --> 00:30:38,270
postpone the sentencing.

895
00:30:38,970 --> 00:30:40,190
That's kind of interesting.

896
00:30:40,430 --> 00:30:43,170
Hey, you know, because of that pardon, I

897
00:30:43,170 --> 00:30:44,810
should my case should be dismissed.

898
00:30:44,930 --> 00:30:46,350
I'm not quite sure exactly how he.

899
00:30:46,910 --> 00:30:49,430
Well, that was based on the fact that

900
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:52,990
within the pardon structure and what Biden said

901
00:30:52,990 --> 00:30:57,150
publicly, it was a commentary about, oh, the

902
00:30:57,150 --> 00:31:00,310
Justice Department's corrupt, which really irked the guy

903
00:31:00,310 --> 00:31:01,890
that Biden handpicked.

904
00:31:02,110 --> 00:31:03,130
Oh, I see.

905
00:31:03,410 --> 00:31:05,090
To do that case.

906
00:31:05,390 --> 00:31:05,830
Ah, OK.

907
00:31:08,850 --> 00:31:10,830
It's just basically falling apart.

908
00:31:11,130 --> 00:31:11,270
Yeah.

909
00:31:11,370 --> 00:31:14,470
Or regarding this Fifth Amendment, I got some

910
00:31:14,470 --> 00:31:18,090
requests for the constitutional lawyer to weigh in,

911
00:31:18,210 --> 00:31:20,590
you know, does indeed the Fifth Amendment no

912
00:31:20,590 --> 00:31:21,410
longer apply?

913
00:31:21,410 --> 00:31:24,050
Can they have Hunter come in to testify

914
00:31:24,050 --> 00:31:28,510
and he wouldn't he wouldn't need Fifth Amendment

915
00:31:29,370 --> 00:31:31,470
protection, to which you, of course, astutely said,

916
00:31:31,530 --> 00:31:33,570
well, yeah, he can still lie, obviously.

917
00:31:35,230 --> 00:31:38,530
And so, yes, the constitutional lawyer says, of

918
00:31:38,530 --> 00:31:39,890
course, that's always been my understanding.

919
00:31:40,650 --> 00:31:43,030
Same thing happens when prosecutors grant immunity to

920
00:31:43,030 --> 00:31:43,530
a witness.

921
00:31:44,250 --> 00:31:46,450
And then he actually, if you're interested in

922
00:31:46,450 --> 00:31:47,850
the show notes, he has all of the

923
00:31:47,850 --> 00:31:51,310
Supreme Court case numbers and files.

924
00:31:51,450 --> 00:31:52,230
So you can look it up.

925
00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:54,350
But then he says something very interesting for

926
00:31:54,350 --> 00:31:55,350
a constitutional lawyer.

927
00:31:55,490 --> 00:31:56,790
He says, there's one thing you have not

928
00:31:56,790 --> 00:31:57,230
considered.

929
00:31:58,110 --> 00:31:59,730
Hunter Biden did not kill himself.

930
00:32:00,390 --> 00:32:02,550
So that's the that's the thing that we

931
00:32:02,550 --> 00:32:04,290
need to be looking at next, according to

932
00:32:04,290 --> 00:32:05,870
our constitutional lawyer.

933
00:32:06,850 --> 00:32:09,750
Well, I think that's a long shot.

934
00:32:09,970 --> 00:32:11,170
We talked about that before.

935
00:32:11,590 --> 00:32:12,050
Overdose.

936
00:32:12,430 --> 00:32:13,990
Yeah, we talked about that before.

937
00:32:14,030 --> 00:32:15,650
That would have happened already, I think.

938
00:32:15,650 --> 00:32:19,830
But the the point we had a nasty

939
00:32:19,830 --> 00:32:21,930
note that came in was saying our constitutional

940
00:32:21,930 --> 00:32:23,790
lawyer was an idiot because he didn't point

941
00:32:23,790 --> 00:32:26,810
this out, which is that once you're given

942
00:32:26,810 --> 00:32:29,650
this kind of immunity, you are now forced

943
00:32:29,650 --> 00:32:30,290
to testify.

944
00:32:30,970 --> 00:32:32,190
No, that's I don't think that's true.

945
00:32:32,650 --> 00:32:33,310
Are you?

946
00:32:33,390 --> 00:32:35,450
No, you if you if you're given immunity,

947
00:32:35,690 --> 00:32:37,310
you are forced to testify.

948
00:32:37,490 --> 00:32:38,070
You can testify.

949
00:32:38,230 --> 00:32:42,490
They can make you testify and you cannot

950
00:32:42,490 --> 00:32:44,590
say I have to plead the fifth.

951
00:32:44,770 --> 00:32:45,410
That's the point.

952
00:32:45,410 --> 00:32:46,430
But you can still lie.

953
00:32:46,510 --> 00:32:47,670
That's being forced up.

954
00:32:48,770 --> 00:32:51,510
Being forced to testifying and lying is not

955
00:32:51,510 --> 00:32:52,370
the same thing.

956
00:32:52,510 --> 00:32:53,090
No, exactly.

957
00:32:53,230 --> 00:32:53,730
I'm with you.

958
00:32:53,910 --> 00:32:54,610
I'm on the I'm on the.

959
00:32:54,630 --> 00:32:56,050
Yeah, no, I'm just saying you can be

960
00:32:56,050 --> 00:32:56,970
forced to testify.

961
00:32:59,410 --> 00:33:00,590
And so what?

962
00:33:00,650 --> 00:33:01,310
You can lie.

963
00:33:01,530 --> 00:33:02,330
That's my point.

964
00:33:02,470 --> 00:33:03,530
Yeah, I'm with you.

965
00:33:03,710 --> 00:33:04,270
I'm with you.

966
00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:06,970
And the point is, is you can't prove

967
00:33:06,970 --> 00:33:10,330
perjury unless you have enough evidence that you

968
00:33:10,330 --> 00:33:12,330
don't need his testimony in the first place,

969
00:33:12,350 --> 00:33:14,150
which is this catch 22 of the whole

970
00:33:14,150 --> 00:33:14,430
thing.

971
00:33:14,430 --> 00:33:16,450
Well, if they really roll out the evidence,

972
00:33:16,450 --> 00:33:17,850
a lot of people are going down.

973
00:33:17,930 --> 00:33:19,130
So I don't expect that to happen.

974
00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:21,490
No, of course not, because it's just way.

975
00:33:21,690 --> 00:33:23,490
They're not going to shrink government either.

976
00:33:25,210 --> 00:33:26,630
Wait, they're not going to close.

977
00:33:26,910 --> 00:33:28,950
Cash Patel is not going to close the

978
00:33:28,950 --> 00:33:29,790
Hoover building.

979
00:33:30,390 --> 00:33:31,970
I think that may be part of it.

980
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:33,550
That could be part of a bigger plan

981
00:33:33,550 --> 00:33:35,410
because there's a lot of there's two things

982
00:33:35,410 --> 00:33:36,910
going on in Washington, D.C. right now.

983
00:33:36,910 --> 00:33:38,430
There's too many people working there.

984
00:33:38,550 --> 00:33:40,710
And then, of course, everybody's working from home.

985
00:33:40,710 --> 00:33:42,190
And now they've codified that.

986
00:33:42,210 --> 00:33:43,710
So everyone gets to work from home.

987
00:33:44,430 --> 00:33:45,590
Before Trump comes in.

988
00:33:45,670 --> 00:33:47,850
So everyone's going to be at home, which,

989
00:33:47,990 --> 00:33:49,310
you know, I'd do the same thing if

990
00:33:49,310 --> 00:33:51,170
I had the time to pull something like

991
00:33:51,170 --> 00:33:53,130
that off, work at home all the time.

992
00:33:53,130 --> 00:33:54,390
If you're a government worker.

993
00:33:54,690 --> 00:33:56,150
But even Amazon has to come back to

994
00:33:56,150 --> 00:33:56,670
the office.

995
00:33:57,710 --> 00:33:58,790
Everybody's all upset.

996
00:33:59,490 --> 00:34:00,470
So they have the two.

997
00:34:01,070 --> 00:34:02,390
Let's go over these nominations.

998
00:34:02,550 --> 00:34:03,470
I have a couple of clips.

999
00:34:03,530 --> 00:34:04,130
I have Trump.

1000
00:34:05,050 --> 00:34:05,450
Trump.

1001
00:34:06,550 --> 00:34:09,030
I think there's the Trump nomination appointments, Trump

1002
00:34:09,030 --> 00:34:11,590
appointments that play that to get a rundown.

1003
00:34:11,590 --> 00:34:14,210
President-elect Donald Trump announced several more picks

1004
00:34:14,210 --> 00:34:15,790
for his administration today.

1005
00:34:16,070 --> 00:34:19,130
NTD's Washington correspondent Jack Bradley joins us live

1006
00:34:19,130 --> 00:34:21,250
from outside of Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence

1007
00:34:21,250 --> 00:34:22,449
in Palm Beach, Florida.

1008
00:34:22,989 --> 00:34:23,650
Good evening, Jack.

1009
00:34:23,750 --> 00:34:25,610
President-elect Trump made quite a few picks

1010
00:34:25,610 --> 00:34:27,070
this morning, but who are some of the

1011
00:34:27,070 --> 00:34:28,290
more notable nominees?

1012
00:34:28,449 --> 00:34:29,110
Good evening, Tiffany.

1013
00:34:29,330 --> 00:34:31,790
Well, there's just rolling in as far as

1014
00:34:31,790 --> 00:34:32,730
the most notable ones.

1015
00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:35,429
Peter Navarro is picked to serve as the

1016
00:34:35,429 --> 00:34:37,670
senior counselor for trade and manufacturing.

1017
00:34:37,670 --> 00:34:41,429
Navarro served as the senior trade advisor during

1018
00:34:41,429 --> 00:34:42,350
Trump's first term.

1019
00:34:42,429 --> 00:34:44,730
He's a staunch advocate for tariffs, especially when

1020
00:34:44,730 --> 00:34:46,070
it comes to tariffs on China.

1021
00:34:46,530 --> 00:34:48,830
Remember, that was what the Biden administration left

1022
00:34:48,830 --> 00:34:51,969
in place when Trump left office back in

1023
00:34:51,969 --> 00:34:52,510
2021.

1024
00:34:53,090 --> 00:34:54,870
Trump said on Truth Social that the new

1025
00:34:54,870 --> 00:34:57,690
role, quote, leverages Peter's broad range of White

1026
00:34:57,690 --> 00:35:01,310
House experience while harnessing his extensive policy, analytic

1027
00:35:01,310 --> 00:35:02,570
and media skills.

1028
00:35:02,970 --> 00:35:05,170
Navarro served a four-month prison sentence that

1029
00:35:05,170 --> 00:35:06,030
ended in July.

1030
00:35:06,030 --> 00:35:08,130
That's because he was convicted for refusing to

1031
00:35:08,130 --> 00:35:10,430
appear before the House Select Committee on January

1032
00:35:10,430 --> 00:35:12,570
6th for the Capitol breach.

1033
00:35:12,870 --> 00:35:15,150
We also have Paul Atkins, who was nominated

1034
00:35:15,150 --> 00:35:17,690
for the chairman of the Securities and Exchange

1035
00:35:17,690 --> 00:35:18,350
Commission here.

1036
00:35:18,810 --> 00:35:21,710
Atkins formerly served as the SEC commissioner, and

1037
00:35:21,710 --> 00:35:23,610
he's expected to take a more crypto-friendly

1038
00:35:23,610 --> 00:35:27,130
approach here and push fewer regulations under Trump

1039
00:35:27,130 --> 00:35:28,990
than the previous SEC chair.

1040
00:35:29,330 --> 00:35:32,570
Trump wrote, quote, Atkins believes in the promise

1041
00:35:32,570 --> 00:35:36,030
of robust, innovative capital markets and are responsive

1042
00:35:36,030 --> 00:35:38,470
to the needs of investors and that provide

1043
00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:40,810
capital to make our economy the best in

1044
00:35:40,810 --> 00:35:41,150
the world.

1045
00:35:41,570 --> 00:35:45,950
Trump also tapped Jared Isaacman for the head

1046
00:35:45,950 --> 00:35:49,110
of NASA, a $26 billion budget there.

1047
00:35:49,550 --> 00:35:53,690
Isaacman is a billionaire CEO and astronaut.

1048
00:35:53,870 --> 00:35:54,970
He's flown to space twice.

1049
00:35:55,390 --> 00:35:58,070
He's accepted the nomination this morning, posting on

1050
00:35:58,070 --> 00:36:01,670
X, quote, Americans will walk on the moon

1051
00:36:01,670 --> 00:36:04,150
and Mars, and in doing so, we will

1052
00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:06,130
make life better here on Earth.

1053
00:36:06,590 --> 00:36:09,310
And Justin, former Congressman Billy Long of Missouri

1054
00:36:09,310 --> 00:36:11,930
has just been tapped to head the IRS.

1055
00:36:12,590 --> 00:36:13,570
Oh, I love those.

1056
00:36:13,750 --> 00:36:14,170
Let's get it.

1057
00:36:14,190 --> 00:36:14,930
Let's get to Mars.

1058
00:36:15,010 --> 00:36:15,990
It'll make it better here.

1059
00:36:16,130 --> 00:36:17,030
Why don't we fix here?

1060
00:36:17,890 --> 00:36:19,830
I have to play a clip from Billy

1061
00:36:19,830 --> 00:36:23,310
Long in front of the testimony he gave.

1062
00:36:23,390 --> 00:36:25,330
He was doing some in Congress.

1063
00:36:25,410 --> 00:36:26,330
He's a congressman.

1064
00:36:26,490 --> 00:36:28,190
So this is the new IRS guy?

1065
00:36:28,810 --> 00:36:29,070
Yeah.

1066
00:36:30,190 --> 00:36:31,710
He's an auctioneer.

1067
00:36:32,690 --> 00:36:34,650
Hey, bidi, bidi, bidi, bidi, bidi, bidi, bidi,

1068
00:36:34,690 --> 00:36:35,670
bidi, dollar bill.

1069
00:36:35,930 --> 00:36:36,750
One of those guys?

1070
00:36:38,050 --> 00:36:39,230
Billy Long, play the clip.

1071
00:36:39,330 --> 00:36:40,910
So one other thing, being an auctioneer in

1072
00:36:40,910 --> 00:36:43,450
Congress, the way our debt is running out

1073
00:36:43,450 --> 00:36:45,250
of control, they find it very handy to

1074
00:36:45,250 --> 00:36:47,870
have Jeff Duncan and myself here in Washington.

1075
00:36:48,330 --> 00:36:49,850
We are one of the few people that

1076
00:36:49,850 --> 00:36:52,610
can actually keep up with the national debt.

1077
00:36:53,110 --> 00:36:54,610
I have been a trillion, two trillion, and

1078
00:36:54,610 --> 00:36:55,550
now three, you're going to buy them three

1079
00:36:55,550 --> 00:36:57,190
trillion, and now four, four trillion dollars, five,

1080
00:36:57,290 --> 00:36:59,270
five trillion, six thousand, six trillion, seven, you're

1081
00:36:59,270 --> 00:37:00,810
going to buy them seven trillion, eight, eight

1082
00:37:00,810 --> 00:37:02,570
trillion dollars, now nine, nine, ten, ten, ten,

1083
00:37:02,570 --> 00:37:05,070
ten, eleven, eleven trillion, down here, twelve, twelve,

1084
00:37:05,130 --> 00:37:06,550
twelve, thirteen, you're going to buy them, you're

1085
00:37:06,550 --> 00:37:09,390
out of here, thirteen trillion, fourteen, fourteen trillion,

1086
00:37:09,490 --> 00:37:12,250
now fifteen, I have sold it fourteen trillion.

1087
00:37:12,990 --> 00:37:15,370
Thankfully, Mr. Speaker, we also can say those

1088
00:37:15,370 --> 00:37:17,550
numbers backwards, so when we get the spending

1089
00:37:17,550 --> 00:37:19,470
under control here, I'll be back.

1090
00:37:20,290 --> 00:37:21,990
Well, that'll be entertaining.

1091
00:37:23,330 --> 00:37:24,130
That's good.

1092
00:37:24,330 --> 00:37:26,050
He's apparently gone into this shtick.

1093
00:37:26,170 --> 00:37:26,790
I love it.

1094
00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:30,470
When people were in some hearing, they were

1095
00:37:30,470 --> 00:37:32,730
protesting, and he'd just go into it.

1096
00:37:32,790 --> 00:37:33,870
That's funny.

1097
00:37:33,870 --> 00:37:34,530
You couldn't hear him.

1098
00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:35,330
That's funny.

1099
00:37:35,790 --> 00:37:37,590
So, he's a funny guy, so that's a

1100
00:37:37,590 --> 00:37:37,810
plus.

1101
00:37:37,910 --> 00:37:39,770
Now, the other guy they didn't talk about,

1102
00:37:39,830 --> 00:37:43,310
the new guys, because this is Hegseth, who

1103
00:37:43,310 --> 00:37:44,710
they're just going after.

1104
00:37:44,710 --> 00:37:47,430
Well, you know, this to me is purely

1105
00:37:47,430 --> 00:37:51,550
military-industrial complex, doesn't want any outsider in

1106
00:37:51,550 --> 00:37:54,190
there, and they're doing everything they can, pulling

1107
00:37:54,190 --> 00:37:57,130
out all the stops, all the, every single

1108
00:37:57,130 --> 00:37:58,750
shit, every card they have.

1109
00:37:58,850 --> 00:38:01,390
This guy has not, cannot get in, and

1110
00:38:01,390 --> 00:38:05,750
I have no, no doubt that there will

1111
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:08,170
be a lot of Republican senators who won't

1112
00:38:08,170 --> 00:38:11,270
affirm him, because they're all on the take

1113
00:38:11,270 --> 00:38:12,790
from the military-industrial complex.

1114
00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:14,050
There's no way.

1115
00:38:14,730 --> 00:38:16,070
Do you really think so?

1116
00:38:16,590 --> 00:38:17,950
Holy mackerel.

1117
00:38:18,030 --> 00:38:19,010
There's gambling going on?

1118
00:38:19,010 --> 00:38:20,250
Are you cynical or what?

1119
00:38:20,330 --> 00:38:21,550
Yeah, I'm very cynical.

1120
00:38:22,190 --> 00:38:23,170
Let's play this clip.

1121
00:38:23,270 --> 00:38:26,170
This is attacking Hegseth on NPR.

1122
00:38:26,430 --> 00:38:26,870
Oh, boy.

1123
00:38:26,990 --> 00:38:28,990
President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the

1124
00:38:28,990 --> 00:38:29,310
Pantagon.

1125
00:38:29,310 --> 00:38:29,550
Wait a minute.

1126
00:38:29,770 --> 00:38:32,430
Is that NPR also sponsored by Archer Daniel

1127
00:38:32,430 --> 00:38:33,810
Midlands and those guys?

1128
00:38:33,990 --> 00:38:35,130
Is that NPR?

1129
00:38:35,130 --> 00:38:37,150
Yeah, but it's sponsored by the military-industrial

1130
00:38:37,150 --> 00:38:39,270
complex and Burlington Northern.

1131
00:38:39,390 --> 00:38:39,970
There you go.

1132
00:38:39,970 --> 00:38:42,050
President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the

1133
00:38:42,050 --> 00:38:46,030
Pentagon is battling accusations of social misconduct and

1134
00:38:46,030 --> 00:38:47,070
heavy drinking.

1135
00:38:47,610 --> 00:38:48,990
A former colleague at Fox News.

1136
00:38:49,110 --> 00:38:51,550
Isn't that a requirement for A, for show

1137
00:38:51,550 --> 00:38:53,070
business, and B, for politics?

1138
00:38:53,410 --> 00:38:53,930
I mean, heavy drinking.

1139
00:38:53,930 --> 00:38:55,790
Well, I would think especially at the Pentagon.

1140
00:38:56,130 --> 00:38:57,230
Yeah, come on, people.

1141
00:38:57,350 --> 00:38:58,430
And heavy drinking.

1142
00:38:58,870 --> 00:39:01,090
A former colleague at Fox News tells NPR

1143
00:39:01,090 --> 00:39:04,070
that Pete Hegseth made unwelcome physical advances while

1144
00:39:04,070 --> 00:39:06,410
inebriated on multiple occasions.

1145
00:39:06,790 --> 00:39:08,870
That's how it works in television.

1146
00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:09,730
You show up.

1147
00:39:10,030 --> 00:39:13,750
J.J. Oh, J.J. at MTV.

1148
00:39:14,390 --> 00:39:17,650
He would come rolling in around 730 in

1149
00:39:17,650 --> 00:39:20,530
the morning, still hungover, had the company car

1150
00:39:20,530 --> 00:39:21,450
out all night.

1151
00:39:21,510 --> 00:39:22,650
They called him the franchise.

1152
00:39:23,090 --> 00:39:24,710
He'd roll in with a couple of chicks,

1153
00:39:24,770 --> 00:39:26,250
like, hey, let's do some segments.

1154
00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:27,790
That's entertainment.

1155
00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:29,830
More from NPR's David Volkenflik.

1156
00:39:29,950 --> 00:39:32,350
The former colleague tells NPR that Hegseth once

1157
00:39:32,350 --> 00:39:34,390
even groped her bottom at a Manhattan bar.

1158
00:39:34,550 --> 00:39:34,870
No, no.

1159
00:39:36,150 --> 00:39:36,530
Oh, no.

1160
00:39:36,530 --> 00:39:38,310
A bar.

1161
00:39:49,890 --> 00:39:55,010
Kid?

1162
00:40:06,530 --> 00:40:08,370
This morning, she appeared on Fox and Friends

1163
00:40:08,370 --> 00:40:10,210
to try and help him save his nomination.

1164
00:40:10,530 --> 00:40:11,570
David Volkenflik.

1165
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:14,350
That was a rotten thing to do, publishing

1166
00:40:14,350 --> 00:40:15,290
that mom's letter.

1167
00:40:15,390 --> 00:40:16,210
That was rotten.

1168
00:40:17,110 --> 00:40:19,150
That was, that's really low.

1169
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:20,690
It was very low.

1170
00:40:20,810 --> 00:40:21,950
How did they get the letter?

1171
00:40:22,510 --> 00:40:23,490
Well, you don't know.

1172
00:40:23,690 --> 00:40:27,250
This was, my theory, which I produced in

1173
00:40:27,250 --> 00:40:30,310
the newsletter, if people would just subscribe.

1174
00:40:31,310 --> 00:40:34,150
People don't, I don't know why the newsletter

1175
00:40:34,150 --> 00:40:36,530
shouldn't have twice as many subscribers.

1176
00:40:37,370 --> 00:40:38,390
It's that good, people.

1177
00:40:38,590 --> 00:40:39,330
It's that good.

1178
00:40:40,030 --> 00:40:40,630
Don't you think?

1179
00:40:40,730 --> 00:40:41,730
Yeah, I love the newsletter.

1180
00:40:42,270 --> 00:40:44,970
You know, I, just as a short little,

1181
00:40:45,090 --> 00:40:49,190
just because, not only, they love you, the

1182
00:40:49,190 --> 00:40:50,870
newsletter, you, everything.

1183
00:40:51,590 --> 00:40:54,530
I did, I did the morning show Wednesday.

1184
00:40:55,370 --> 00:40:57,910
Matt Long, our guy who loves you, who

1185
00:40:57,910 --> 00:40:58,730
reads the newsletter.

1186
00:40:59,170 --> 00:41:00,630
And he shows up in front of the

1187
00:41:00,630 --> 00:41:00,870
studio.

1188
00:41:00,950 --> 00:41:01,590
What does he have?

1189
00:41:01,770 --> 00:41:03,910
He has a plastic bag with four persimmons.

1190
00:41:05,190 --> 00:41:06,030
Oh, good man.

1191
00:41:06,310 --> 00:41:08,390
Two that were completely ripe and ready to

1192
00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:10,030
go, which are so squishy.

1193
00:41:10,810 --> 00:41:12,170
And two that I have to keep in

1194
00:41:12,170 --> 00:41:13,930
the bag for like three weeks or whatever.

1195
00:41:14,250 --> 00:41:16,310
People love your newsletter, love your tips.

1196
00:41:16,350 --> 00:41:17,130
They love you, John.

1197
00:41:17,990 --> 00:41:19,850
Well, I feel, I feel loved.

1198
00:41:20,050 --> 00:41:20,810
Yeah, you should.

1199
00:41:20,810 --> 00:41:22,610
Well, the point I was making was the

1200
00:41:22,610 --> 00:41:24,670
newsletter had this point, which is that it

1201
00:41:24,670 --> 00:41:27,150
had to be, you know, the DOD has

1202
00:41:27,150 --> 00:41:29,790
access to NSA's computers.

1203
00:41:31,370 --> 00:41:31,490
Yes.

1204
00:41:31,830 --> 00:41:33,030
Somebody went in there with, you know, we

1205
00:41:33,030 --> 00:41:34,810
talked about, this was some years ago, and

1206
00:41:34,810 --> 00:41:36,550
there were, there was a big scandal because

1207
00:41:36,550 --> 00:41:38,310
these guys, these FBI guys, would just go

1208
00:41:38,310 --> 00:41:39,910
in there and make these searches of all

1209
00:41:39,910 --> 00:41:43,190
the databases, which have, all, it has, everybody's

1210
00:41:43,190 --> 00:41:44,070
email is in there.

1211
00:41:44,130 --> 00:41:45,310
Consult, they were consultants.

1212
00:41:46,090 --> 00:41:48,050
They weren't even FBI, they were consultants.

1213
00:41:48,050 --> 00:41:50,030
And we know, we know from Edward Snowden,

1214
00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:51,950
all you need is the email address and

1215
00:41:51,950 --> 00:41:54,110
pops it up, the last five days or

1216
00:41:54,110 --> 00:41:56,830
whatever, you know, five weeks of your emails

1217
00:41:56,830 --> 00:41:57,630
and everything else.

1218
00:41:57,770 --> 00:41:58,390
Yeah, of course.

1219
00:41:59,770 --> 00:42:01,750
So they go in there and they dig

1220
00:42:01,750 --> 00:42:05,350
up this email from mom and then slip

1221
00:42:05,350 --> 00:42:06,970
it to the New York Times and New

1222
00:42:06,970 --> 00:42:10,950
York Times, you know, with, with no qualms,

1223
00:42:11,030 --> 00:42:13,450
publishes this personal email of somebody that was

1224
00:42:13,450 --> 00:42:14,630
obviously stolen.

1225
00:42:15,430 --> 00:42:17,110
And then they make a big fuss, the

1226
00:42:17,110 --> 00:42:18,630
old lady's got to go on one of

1227
00:42:18,630 --> 00:42:21,050
the Fox shows to defend herself saying she

1228
00:42:21,050 --> 00:42:22,450
was just irked by, you know, it's just,

1229
00:42:22,510 --> 00:42:23,590
it was one of those nasty, I mean,

1230
00:42:23,970 --> 00:42:25,650
if they pull the emails out between you

1231
00:42:25,650 --> 00:42:27,270
and me, they make it look like we're

1232
00:42:27,270 --> 00:42:28,650
going to kill each other.

1233
00:42:30,530 --> 00:42:31,330
Especially yours.

1234
00:42:34,610 --> 00:42:36,830
Wait, wait, there are lots of people who

1235
00:42:36,830 --> 00:42:38,130
have emails like that from you.

1236
00:42:38,190 --> 00:42:39,170
It's not just me.

1237
00:42:39,370 --> 00:42:40,490
Everybody has those.

1238
00:42:40,490 --> 00:42:44,630
But, but unfortunately, for some reason in politics

1239
00:42:44,630 --> 00:42:48,450
and politics media, it's, it's two sides of

1240
00:42:48,450 --> 00:42:49,190
the same coin.

1241
00:42:49,330 --> 00:42:51,590
It used to only be America, now increasingly

1242
00:42:51,590 --> 00:42:52,570
it's other countries.

1243
00:42:52,730 --> 00:42:54,870
It always comes down to the penis.

1244
00:42:55,310 --> 00:42:57,750
It's all, it's a horrible man because he

1245
00:42:57,750 --> 00:42:59,510
has a penis and he does stuff and

1246
00:42:59,510 --> 00:43:01,830
he's an adulterer and it's always, it's never

1247
00:43:01,830 --> 00:43:05,430
about policy, never about capability, never about experience.

1248
00:43:05,490 --> 00:43:07,590
And now they've added drinking to it.

1249
00:43:08,170 --> 00:43:09,870
It's just, it's sick.

1250
00:43:09,870 --> 00:43:11,310
Heavy drinker.

1251
00:43:11,430 --> 00:43:12,310
I love it.

1252
00:43:12,550 --> 00:43:13,170
It's sick.

1253
00:43:13,290 --> 00:43:14,470
It's so incredible.

1254
00:43:14,770 --> 00:43:15,990
And, and it works.

1255
00:43:16,110 --> 00:43:18,030
You know, people go, oh, oh, he's a

1256
00:43:18,030 --> 00:43:18,370
drinker.

1257
00:43:18,630 --> 00:43:19,270
You don't want a drunk.

1258
00:43:19,490 --> 00:43:20,070
No way.

1259
00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:21,170
You squeeze their butt.

1260
00:43:21,650 --> 00:43:23,350
And of course now we have, this is,

1261
00:43:23,650 --> 00:43:25,270
who did, who is this report from?

1262
00:43:25,330 --> 00:43:26,050
This is about Hegseth.

1263
00:43:26,090 --> 00:43:27,070
This is France 24.

1264
00:43:27,310 --> 00:43:30,130
They, they add the latest twists to these

1265
00:43:30,130 --> 00:43:30,730
nominations.

1266
00:43:31,170 --> 00:43:33,550
There's widespread speculation here in the US that

1267
00:43:33,550 --> 00:43:36,190
Donald Trump may be rethinking his nominee for

1268
00:43:36,190 --> 00:43:38,290
his secretary of defense in his cabinet.

1269
00:43:38,290 --> 00:43:41,130
Pete Hegseth, best known as the anchor for

1270
00:43:41,130 --> 00:43:44,130
Fox News Weekends, is the man that Donald

1271
00:43:44,130 --> 00:43:46,330
Trump has tipped to leave the Department of

1272
00:43:46,330 --> 00:43:46,710
Defense.

1273
00:43:47,010 --> 00:43:49,850
But there's been skepticism over his qualifications for

1274
00:43:49,850 --> 00:43:52,790
the job and now allegations of sexual misconduct

1275
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,370
as well as excessive drinking and financial troubles

1276
00:43:55,370 --> 00:43:57,530
are also playing his candidacy.

1277
00:43:57,830 --> 00:43:59,690
But who doesn't have financial troubles?

1278
00:43:59,830 --> 00:44:01,990
We are told by numerous sources, and it's

1279
00:44:01,990 --> 00:44:04,290
been widely reported in various media outlets in

1280
00:44:04,290 --> 00:44:06,750
the United States, that Donald Trump has been

1281
00:44:06,750 --> 00:44:10,450
having conversations with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as

1282
00:44:10,450 --> 00:44:13,290
recently as Tuesday about being in the role

1283
00:44:13,290 --> 00:44:16,030
and also about the potential appointment of Lara

1284
00:44:16,030 --> 00:44:18,870
Trump, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, to the

1285
00:44:18,870 --> 00:44:22,590
vacant Senate seat vacated by Marco Rubio's nomination.

1286
00:44:23,110 --> 00:44:25,690
Well, of course, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is

1287
00:44:25,690 --> 00:44:27,630
a man who ran against Donald Trump in

1288
00:44:27,630 --> 00:44:29,410
the primaries of this election.

1289
00:44:29,730 --> 00:44:31,150
That is something which has been held against

1290
00:44:31,150 --> 00:44:32,310
him by some Republicans.

1291
00:44:32,310 --> 00:44:34,390
And Donald Trump has had a bit of

1292
00:44:34,390 --> 00:44:36,090
a contesterous past with him.

1293
00:44:36,210 --> 00:44:38,310
He's called him Meatball Ron in the past.

1294
00:44:38,650 --> 00:44:40,290
But apparently the two men are getting on

1295
00:44:40,290 --> 00:44:43,050
well and there is now a belief that

1296
00:44:43,050 --> 00:44:44,650
he could be in the running for the

1297
00:44:44,650 --> 00:44:46,010
secretary of defense role.

1298
00:44:46,370 --> 00:44:48,530
As it stands, Pete Hegseth is still not

1299
00:44:48,530 --> 00:44:50,250
backing down, saying that he believes he still

1300
00:44:50,250 --> 00:44:51,110
has a path forward.

1301
00:44:51,530 --> 00:44:53,590
He said to some reporters on The Hill

1302
00:44:53,590 --> 00:44:56,290
on Wednesday, I spoke to the president-elect

1303
00:44:56,290 --> 00:44:57,050
this morning.

1304
00:44:57,390 --> 00:44:59,230
He said, keep going, keep fighting.

1305
00:44:59,350 --> 00:45:00,530
I'm behind you all the way.

1306
00:45:00,670 --> 00:45:02,070
Why would I back down?

1307
00:45:02,070 --> 00:45:03,950
But of course, he needs to be confirmed

1308
00:45:03,950 --> 00:45:06,210
by the Senate in order to get into

1309
00:45:06,210 --> 00:45:07,070
that cabinet position.

1310
00:45:07,210 --> 00:45:09,190
Whether Donald Trump is willing to expend the

1311
00:45:09,190 --> 00:45:11,130
political capital to get in there is the

1312
00:45:11,130 --> 00:45:12,450
question that everybody is asking.

1313
00:45:12,730 --> 00:45:13,750
Oh, I can hear it.

1314
00:45:13,790 --> 00:45:16,890
No, everyone's talking about Pete Hegseth clenching a

1315
00:45:16,890 --> 00:45:19,310
woman's butt and drinking before Showtime.

1316
00:45:20,350 --> 00:45:21,910
And they're all like, oh, please don't look

1317
00:45:21,910 --> 00:45:22,350
at me.

1318
00:45:23,910 --> 00:45:25,030
He didn't drink after Showtime.

1319
00:45:25,130 --> 00:45:26,510
He wasn't one of those guys who drank.

1320
00:45:27,170 --> 00:45:28,970
The show that he did was a morning

1321
00:45:28,970 --> 00:45:29,410
show.

1322
00:45:29,410 --> 00:45:31,050
Yeah, drinking at eight.

1323
00:45:32,970 --> 00:45:33,770
Financial troubles.

1324
00:45:33,990 --> 00:45:37,890
So I think that Trump, you know, Hegseth

1325
00:45:37,890 --> 00:45:41,110
has to get to the hearings because...

1326
00:45:41,110 --> 00:45:42,290
He's got a lot to say.

1327
00:45:42,890 --> 00:45:44,510
Well, besides having a lot to say, they

1328
00:45:44,510 --> 00:45:47,110
have to see who the weak sisters are

1329
00:45:47,110 --> 00:45:48,910
in the Senate and the Republican side.

1330
00:45:49,090 --> 00:45:49,550
Yeah, yeah.

1331
00:45:49,610 --> 00:45:49,870
Oh, yeah.

1332
00:45:49,870 --> 00:45:50,750
They got to smoke them out.

1333
00:45:50,870 --> 00:45:51,890
You have to identify them.

1334
00:45:51,930 --> 00:45:52,690
Got to smoke them out.

1335
00:45:53,470 --> 00:45:54,510
You got to smoke them out.

1336
00:45:54,510 --> 00:45:57,430
And then you can go after them politically

1337
00:45:57,430 --> 00:45:59,510
later or have the public do it or

1338
00:45:59,510 --> 00:46:00,550
whatever you want to do.

1339
00:46:00,830 --> 00:46:03,210
But these senators have got to be smoked

1340
00:46:03,210 --> 00:46:03,530
out.

1341
00:46:03,790 --> 00:46:05,530
Well, it's not going to be too hard.

1342
00:46:05,590 --> 00:46:08,310
You just look at the AIPAC donations, which,

1343
00:46:09,390 --> 00:46:14,510
unlike the popular opinion online, comes from the

1344
00:46:14,510 --> 00:46:19,170
American-Israeli Education Fund, which is where the

1345
00:46:19,170 --> 00:46:21,750
military-industrial complex donates to.

1346
00:46:23,410 --> 00:46:25,070
It's not the Jews, everybody.

1347
00:46:25,550 --> 00:46:26,230
Simmer down.

1348
00:46:27,550 --> 00:46:29,230
But yeah, I mean, just look at the

1349
00:46:29,230 --> 00:46:29,730
donations.

1350
00:46:30,050 --> 00:46:32,790
Look at the campaign finances.

1351
00:46:33,350 --> 00:46:34,890
You can see exactly who's going to vote

1352
00:46:34,890 --> 00:46:35,530
against them.

1353
00:46:36,630 --> 00:46:38,450
I think we could probably do a pool.

1354
00:46:39,230 --> 00:46:40,150
Be easy to see.

1355
00:46:40,530 --> 00:46:43,730
But is DeSantis, is he compromised enough to

1356
00:46:43,730 --> 00:46:45,870
be Secretary of Defense?

1357
00:46:46,230 --> 00:46:48,570
Do you think that he's a guy they

1358
00:46:48,570 --> 00:46:49,870
could muster?

1359
00:46:50,650 --> 00:46:52,370
I think they've got the goods on him

1360
00:46:52,370 --> 00:46:54,490
because he was at Gitmo during the torture

1361
00:46:54,490 --> 00:46:54,890
period.

1362
00:46:55,130 --> 00:46:55,570
Right, right.

1363
00:46:55,650 --> 00:46:56,690
They've got the goods on him.

1364
00:46:57,450 --> 00:46:59,410
Yeah, Hegseth is too good of an American.

1365
00:46:59,550 --> 00:47:00,230
That's the problem.

1366
00:47:01,530 --> 00:47:05,370
A good soldier, you know, brave man.

1367
00:47:05,670 --> 00:47:06,350
He's too good.

1368
00:47:07,370 --> 00:47:09,610
He's too good for that corrupt outfit.

1369
00:47:12,690 --> 00:47:15,890
Yeah, DeSantis would be a better fit for

1370
00:47:15,890 --> 00:47:16,230
them.

1371
00:47:16,670 --> 00:47:19,370
Yeah, well, that's ultimately what it's about.

1372
00:47:19,370 --> 00:47:23,370
He talks a big game.

1373
00:47:23,470 --> 00:47:25,370
He's a good big game talker.

1374
00:47:25,870 --> 00:47:28,450
So he can make it look like something's

1375
00:47:28,450 --> 00:47:30,270
happening, but it's not going to happen.

1376
00:47:30,710 --> 00:47:32,470
More likely, Kash Patel is the guy who

1377
00:47:32,470 --> 00:47:33,890
can kick some ass if they get him.

1378
00:47:33,970 --> 00:47:35,490
And he's going to be the tougher one

1379
00:47:35,490 --> 00:47:37,830
on the system.

1380
00:47:37,970 --> 00:47:40,010
I was listening to NPR the other day

1381
00:47:40,010 --> 00:47:40,630
on the media.

1382
00:47:40,670 --> 00:47:43,530
I didn't clip it, but his whole rise,

1383
00:47:44,310 --> 00:47:46,010
Patel's rise is quite interesting.

1384
00:47:48,170 --> 00:47:51,910
It started really early, and he was just

1385
00:47:51,910 --> 00:47:52,550
a lawyer.

1386
00:47:53,390 --> 00:47:55,990
And he was defending some low-level case.

1387
00:47:56,330 --> 00:47:58,890
And he came into the court, and he

1388
00:47:58,890 --> 00:48:01,590
had to fly from Tajikistan or something.

1389
00:48:01,790 --> 00:48:03,570
And they didn't have a tie for him.

1390
00:48:03,690 --> 00:48:06,170
And then the judge just reamed him for

1391
00:48:06,170 --> 00:48:07,210
not having a tie.

1392
00:48:07,410 --> 00:48:09,270
And then he got this whole thing, the

1393
00:48:09,270 --> 00:48:10,110
system's corrupt.

1394
00:48:10,390 --> 00:48:12,470
And then he got in with Nunes, and

1395
00:48:12,470 --> 00:48:15,470
then Nunes promised him that when the time

1396
00:48:15,470 --> 00:48:16,890
came, he would be put on the National

1397
00:48:16,890 --> 00:48:17,910
Security Council.

1398
00:48:18,370 --> 00:48:21,330
So he had this interesting rise, really from

1399
00:48:21,330 --> 00:48:21,770
nothing.

1400
00:48:22,610 --> 00:48:24,230
Yeah, Nunes is his mentor.

1401
00:48:24,470 --> 00:48:24,670
Yeah.

1402
00:48:25,590 --> 00:48:25,930
Yeah.

1403
00:48:26,070 --> 00:48:27,330
So I like Kash Patel.

1404
00:48:27,390 --> 00:48:28,270
I think he's going to be fun.

1405
00:48:28,330 --> 00:48:29,730
But he's the wild card.

1406
00:48:29,810 --> 00:48:30,790
People are afraid of him.

1407
00:48:33,090 --> 00:48:34,350
And where's the dirt?

1408
00:48:34,990 --> 00:48:36,410
Does he not have a drinking problem?

1409
00:48:37,530 --> 00:48:38,330
Well, not yet.

1410
00:48:41,230 --> 00:48:44,330
And then, of course, back to consumerism.

1411
00:48:47,150 --> 00:48:48,750
Trump, he's going to do it, man.

1412
00:48:48,790 --> 00:48:49,490
It's going to be tariffs.

1413
00:48:49,610 --> 00:48:50,330
It's going to be horrible.

1414
00:48:50,710 --> 00:48:51,610
You know what that means.

1415
00:48:51,670 --> 00:48:54,030
When tariffs are coming, it's time to buy

1416
00:48:54,030 --> 00:48:54,990
now for Christmas.

1417
00:48:55,490 --> 00:48:57,730
Holiday shoppers might be wondering what tech products

1418
00:48:57,730 --> 00:49:00,090
they should buy in case President-elect Trump's

1419
00:49:00,090 --> 00:49:01,590
proposed tariffs go into effect.

1420
00:49:01,810 --> 00:49:04,150
Yeah, a recent analysis from the Consumer Technology

1421
00:49:04,150 --> 00:49:07,610
Association suggests smartphone prices could— How come you're

1422
00:49:07,610 --> 00:49:09,810
not a member of the Consumer Technology Association?

1423
00:49:10,090 --> 00:49:11,030
I've never heard of it.

1424
00:49:11,090 --> 00:49:13,650
I know there's the Consumer Electronics Association, which

1425
00:49:13,650 --> 00:49:15,570
is a major, major operation.

1426
00:49:15,930 --> 00:49:19,050
I've never heard of the Consumer Technology.

1427
00:49:19,370 --> 00:49:20,730
I think they made a mistake.

1428
00:49:20,850 --> 00:49:22,310
Oh, I think we should be on it.

1429
00:49:22,630 --> 00:49:24,810
If it exists, we should be on it.

1430
00:49:25,350 --> 00:49:29,670
—suggests smartphone prices could rise by 26 percent

1431
00:49:29,670 --> 00:49:32,470
due to proposed tariffs on imports from China.

1432
00:49:32,470 --> 00:49:33,930
A smartphone is going to go up in

1433
00:49:33,930 --> 00:49:34,310
price?

1434
00:49:35,570 --> 00:49:37,770
—manufacturers the majority of our smartphones.

1435
00:49:38,290 --> 00:49:40,970
You should also consider replacing your household appliance.

1436
00:49:41,170 --> 00:49:43,010
That may be on the fritz, according to

1437
00:49:43,010 --> 00:49:44,010
the National Retail Federation.

1438
00:49:44,010 --> 00:49:46,330
Hey, do you have any household appliances that

1439
00:49:46,330 --> 00:49:47,470
may be on the fritz?

1440
00:49:47,910 --> 00:49:48,630
On the fritz?

1441
00:49:49,450 --> 00:49:51,190
Well, there's a phrase that we need to

1442
00:49:51,190 --> 00:49:51,750
bring back.

1443
00:49:51,770 --> 00:49:52,370
That's a good one.

1444
00:49:52,410 --> 00:49:52,850
I agree.

1445
00:49:52,990 --> 00:49:53,870
It's on the fritz.

1446
00:49:53,870 --> 00:49:55,010
It's on the fritz, man.

1447
00:49:55,150 --> 00:49:55,670
Jiggle the handles.

1448
00:49:55,670 --> 00:49:56,750
That's better than glitch.

1449
00:49:57,070 --> 00:49:58,210
That may be on the fritz.

1450
00:49:58,210 --> 00:50:01,030
According to the National Retail Federation, the tariffs

1451
00:50:01,030 --> 00:50:03,250
could cause the price of the average appliance

1452
00:50:03,250 --> 00:50:05,250
to go up by nearly 20 percent.

1453
00:50:05,910 --> 00:50:08,270
Other products that will cost more include gaming

1454
00:50:08,270 --> 00:50:10,050
consoles and laptops.

1455
00:50:10,370 --> 00:50:12,450
And already this morning, breaking news.

1456
00:50:12,610 --> 00:50:15,090
China just announced minutes ago that it's banning

1457
00:50:15,090 --> 00:50:17,630
exports of high-tech materials to the U

1458
00:50:17,630 --> 00:50:20,670
.S. that includes materials like gallium, germanium, and

1459
00:50:20,670 --> 00:50:24,210
antimony, materials used in several products like your

1460
00:50:24,210 --> 00:50:24,890
cell phone battery.

1461
00:50:25,110 --> 00:50:26,710
So it has begun in a lot of

1462
00:50:26,710 --> 00:50:26,970
ways.

1463
00:50:26,970 --> 00:50:27,750
It has begun.

1464
00:50:28,090 --> 00:50:28,650
It has begun.

1465
00:50:29,170 --> 00:50:30,810
Most definitely by the upcoming administration.

1466
00:50:31,210 --> 00:50:31,470
Most definitely.

1467
00:50:31,690 --> 00:50:32,950
We're going to see the impact for sure.

1468
00:50:33,070 --> 00:50:33,510
For sure.

1469
00:50:34,250 --> 00:50:34,950
By now.

1470
00:50:35,450 --> 00:50:35,910
By now.

1471
00:50:36,030 --> 00:50:36,390
By now.

1472
00:50:36,670 --> 00:50:37,790
But this is Biden.

1473
00:50:38,010 --> 00:50:40,390
Biden put some more sanctions on, didn't he?

1474
00:50:40,530 --> 00:50:42,550
Wasn't this a Biden move that Trump is

1475
00:50:42,550 --> 00:50:45,430
now going to have to pick up?

1476
00:50:45,910 --> 00:50:47,750
I have no idea what Biden did.

1477
00:50:48,670 --> 00:50:49,890
Biden did something?

1478
00:50:50,110 --> 00:50:52,450
Well, somebody did something.

1479
00:50:52,550 --> 00:50:53,330
I don't want to say it's Biden.

1480
00:50:53,330 --> 00:50:55,910
Yeah, some new chip thing, like new tariffs

1481
00:50:55,910 --> 00:50:58,810
on chips, or you can't sell certain chips

1482
00:50:58,810 --> 00:50:59,470
to China.

1483
00:50:59,850 --> 00:51:01,310
There was something new, and that's why they

1484
00:51:01,310 --> 00:51:03,710
retaliated with the gallium, which I'd never even

1485
00:51:03,710 --> 00:51:04,170
heard of.

1486
00:51:04,250 --> 00:51:04,810
What is gallium?

1487
00:51:04,950 --> 00:51:05,790
Oh, yeah, gallium.

1488
00:51:06,290 --> 00:51:09,790
It's used in semiconductors, specialty ones.

1489
00:51:10,650 --> 00:51:12,770
I think, if I'm not mistaken, I could

1490
00:51:12,770 --> 00:51:14,610
be wrong on this, but I think it's

1491
00:51:14,610 --> 00:51:17,270
used in things that require high frequencies.

1492
00:51:19,770 --> 00:51:23,370
Gallium's got some characteristics that make it workable.

1493
00:51:24,270 --> 00:51:26,490
Well, it's all part of the China move.

1494
00:51:27,910 --> 00:51:30,510
Now we're really starting to move in on

1495
00:51:30,510 --> 00:51:31,430
China.

1496
00:51:32,010 --> 00:51:35,410
And the reason Biden was in Africa, Angola,

1497
00:51:36,410 --> 00:51:38,870
I don't think it got a lot of

1498
00:51:38,870 --> 00:51:39,230
play.

1499
00:51:40,170 --> 00:51:42,250
I only got one clip, but I didn't

1500
00:51:42,250 --> 00:51:44,130
even know that this was taking place, but

1501
00:51:44,130 --> 00:51:46,330
this is a pure anti-China move.

1502
00:51:46,330 --> 00:51:48,930
U.S. President Joe Biden, on his first

1503
00:51:48,930 --> 00:51:51,450
trip to sub-Saharan Africa, the visit this

1504
00:51:51,450 --> 00:51:54,050
week is meant to solidify economic ties with

1505
00:51:54,050 --> 00:51:57,210
the African nation, even as the Biden administration

1506
00:51:57,210 --> 00:52:00,270
prepares for a transition to Trump's presidency.

1507
00:52:00,850 --> 00:52:03,650
So this is the president's final trip.

1508
00:52:03,650 --> 00:52:05,950
And with it, he wants to kind of

1509
00:52:05,950 --> 00:52:10,870
leave a legacy marker for improving relations with

1510
00:52:10,870 --> 00:52:14,270
Africa at a time when China and Russia

1511
00:52:14,270 --> 00:52:16,390
have deep ties across the continent.

1512
00:52:16,630 --> 00:52:20,490
China especially has been incredibly strategic in terms

1513
00:52:20,490 --> 00:52:23,730
of developing these relationships, inviting the heads of

1514
00:52:23,730 --> 00:52:25,210
state to China.

1515
00:52:25,630 --> 00:52:28,150
And the image of the United States in

1516
00:52:28,150 --> 00:52:31,390
some of these smaller and lower-income countries

1517
00:52:31,390 --> 00:52:34,510
has also taken a hit because of the

1518
00:52:34,510 --> 00:52:36,750
close ties between the U.S. and Israel.

1519
00:52:37,330 --> 00:52:40,070
And so one of the Biden administration's big

1520
00:52:40,070 --> 00:52:44,510
investments in four years abroad has been pumping

1521
00:52:44,510 --> 00:52:48,490
millions of dollars into this new rail corridor

1522
00:52:48,490 --> 00:52:50,570
that they hope by the end of the

1523
00:52:50,570 --> 00:52:53,790
decade will stretch from one end of the

1524
00:52:53,790 --> 00:52:55,270
continent to the other.

1525
00:52:55,270 --> 00:52:58,950
And that will be a major way that

1526
00:52:58,950 --> 00:53:01,130
some of the critical minerals that are produced

1527
00:53:01,130 --> 00:53:04,390
in Africa are brought out to the United

1528
00:53:04,390 --> 00:53:04,930
States.

1529
00:53:05,770 --> 00:53:07,750
And so Biden was here to take a

1530
00:53:07,750 --> 00:53:10,610
look at part of that project and optimism

1531
00:53:10,610 --> 00:53:13,410
that even in a Trump administration that that

1532
00:53:13,410 --> 00:53:17,590
project will continue because it muscles away some

1533
00:53:17,590 --> 00:53:20,770
of the infrastructure investment that China wants to

1534
00:53:20,770 --> 00:53:21,470
do in Africa.

1535
00:53:21,470 --> 00:53:24,910
This is the Trans-Africa Corridor connecting Central

1536
00:53:24,910 --> 00:53:27,850
Africa's Copper Belt to the Angolan coast.

1537
00:53:28,770 --> 00:53:30,410
I hadn't heard about this.

1538
00:53:32,790 --> 00:53:33,930
I haven't either, actually.

1539
00:53:34,470 --> 00:53:36,530
And so it's $600 billion.

1540
00:53:37,230 --> 00:53:38,330
Oh, that's new financing.

1541
00:53:38,650 --> 00:53:39,650
That's new money.

1542
00:53:39,830 --> 00:53:41,090
So I don't know how much was already

1543
00:53:41,090 --> 00:53:41,530
there.

1544
00:53:43,670 --> 00:53:45,770
But yeah, this is our...

1545
00:53:45,770 --> 00:53:48,330
This is really, I mean, that's a big

1546
00:53:48,330 --> 00:53:49,450
middle finger to China.

1547
00:53:49,590 --> 00:53:50,750
They're the train guys.

1548
00:53:51,310 --> 00:53:52,570
Hey, what are you doing?

1549
00:53:53,510 --> 00:53:54,850
We do trains around here.

1550
00:53:55,150 --> 00:53:55,610
We're the train guys.

1551
00:53:55,870 --> 00:53:57,030
We do trains around here.

1552
00:53:57,130 --> 00:53:58,110
What are you doing, Biden?

1553
00:53:59,230 --> 00:54:01,590
So I thought that was rather interesting.

1554
00:54:01,730 --> 00:54:04,930
And they're just doing everything they can to...

1555
00:54:04,930 --> 00:54:07,830
I wonder why that information, because the way

1556
00:54:07,830 --> 00:54:10,410
it was presented, first you had Biden bumbling

1557
00:54:10,410 --> 00:54:12,790
around and calling Angola a city, and they

1558
00:54:12,790 --> 00:54:16,070
had all these ludicrous clips of him stumbling

1559
00:54:16,070 --> 00:54:16,670
and mumbling.

1560
00:54:16,670 --> 00:54:20,350
Even the mainstream couldn't play a good clip.

1561
00:54:20,690 --> 00:54:22,950
And then the background was that, well, he

1562
00:54:22,950 --> 00:54:25,790
either went to Angola to avoid talking about

1563
00:54:25,790 --> 00:54:28,670
Hunter's pardon, or he went there just to

1564
00:54:28,670 --> 00:54:30,610
give them a billion dollars for no good

1565
00:54:30,610 --> 00:54:31,650
reason, because of climate.

1566
00:54:32,430 --> 00:54:34,050
It was a climate change visit.

1567
00:54:34,050 --> 00:54:36,090
There's a climate angle to it, yeah.

1568
00:54:36,730 --> 00:54:38,950
And they never mention anything about this rail,

1569
00:54:39,590 --> 00:54:41,530
which is actually a good story.

1570
00:54:41,530 --> 00:54:44,910
So why do you think that was suppressed

1571
00:54:44,910 --> 00:54:48,850
over the climate change angle, so far as

1572
00:54:48,850 --> 00:54:49,730
the mainstream media?

1573
00:54:49,770 --> 00:54:52,010
Because there's no money for people in America?

1574
00:54:53,290 --> 00:54:53,930
Maybe?

1575
00:54:54,550 --> 00:54:55,450
And who knows?

1576
00:54:55,690 --> 00:54:59,990
I think if you're a resentful American, and

1577
00:54:59,990 --> 00:55:02,370
you go over and you hear that they're

1578
00:55:02,370 --> 00:55:06,490
throwing money at Africa because of climate worries,

1579
00:55:06,670 --> 00:55:09,230
as opposed to throwing money at Africa so

1580
00:55:09,230 --> 00:55:11,770
they can make a train that drives a

1581
00:55:11,770 --> 00:55:14,510
bunch of minerals out of the country over

1582
00:55:14,510 --> 00:55:16,990
to us, I don't think there's a comparison

1583
00:55:16,990 --> 00:55:17,470
there.

1584
00:55:18,310 --> 00:55:19,910
One is good, one is bad.

1585
00:55:20,290 --> 00:55:22,330
It just depends where your money's coming from.

1586
00:55:23,410 --> 00:55:24,710
But if it's all coming from us, it

1587
00:55:24,710 --> 00:55:27,050
doesn't matter if it's good, if the result

1588
00:55:27,050 --> 00:55:31,030
is good, as opposed to just throwing it

1589
00:55:31,030 --> 00:55:32,710
away because of climate change.

1590
00:55:34,650 --> 00:55:36,970
That was the point they made over and

1591
00:55:36,970 --> 00:55:39,890
over about this whole climate thing.

1592
00:55:40,190 --> 00:55:41,190
I probably have a clip, too.

1593
00:55:41,490 --> 00:55:43,310
I wonder, by the way, what do you

1594
00:55:43,310 --> 00:55:46,210
think an African foamer sounds like when he

1595
00:55:46,210 --> 00:55:47,310
sees that train go by?

1596
00:55:47,790 --> 00:55:48,410
Woo-hoo!

1597
00:55:49,250 --> 00:55:50,770
Oh, my God!

1598
00:55:51,110 --> 00:55:51,570
Woo!

1599
00:55:53,110 --> 00:55:54,510
I can't wait.

1600
00:55:55,530 --> 00:55:57,410
It's got to be there.

1601
00:56:00,130 --> 00:56:04,530
Well, they're just throwing gold bars overboard at

1602
00:56:04,530 --> 00:56:05,030
this point.

1603
00:56:05,570 --> 00:56:08,070
It's like, wherever we can throw some money,

1604
00:56:08,070 --> 00:56:09,370
let's throw some money.

1605
00:56:09,870 --> 00:56:12,390
So, of course, Ukraine, we need to get

1606
00:56:12,390 --> 00:56:15,290
as much out there, or I think, what

1607
00:56:15,290 --> 00:56:18,250
is Jake Sullivan here called, the National Security

1608
00:56:18,250 --> 00:56:21,330
Advisor, the surge of weapons?

1609
00:56:21,510 --> 00:56:24,750
What are you telling your Ukrainian counterparts about

1610
00:56:24,750 --> 00:56:29,450
American support in 51 days after Biden leaves

1611
00:56:29,450 --> 00:56:29,870
office?

1612
00:56:30,530 --> 00:56:32,650
Well, first, what I'm saying is we are

1613
00:56:32,650 --> 00:56:35,350
going to do everything in our power for

1614
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:37,650
these 50 days to get Ukraine all the

1615
00:56:37,650 --> 00:56:40,150
tools we possibly can to strengthen their position

1616
00:56:40,150 --> 00:56:42,450
on the battlefield so that they'll be stronger

1617
00:56:42,450 --> 00:56:43,550
at the negotiating table.

1618
00:56:43,650 --> 00:56:46,350
And President Biden directed me to oversee.

1619
00:56:46,570 --> 00:56:48,730
This is a key talking point.

1620
00:56:49,510 --> 00:56:51,650
Get them all that we can so they'll

1621
00:56:51,650 --> 00:56:54,270
be stronger at the negotiating table.

1622
00:56:54,410 --> 00:56:55,290
This thing is over.

1623
00:56:55,710 --> 00:56:56,550
This thing is ending.

1624
00:56:56,730 --> 00:56:57,730
Everybody knows it.

1625
00:56:58,090 --> 00:56:59,650
And it's just, how do they do it?

1626
00:56:59,870 --> 00:57:01,730
Who gets left over with the spoils?

1627
00:57:01,850 --> 00:57:02,770
This is where they're at.

1628
00:57:03,010 --> 00:57:05,070
And it's just, throw that money at it.

1629
00:57:05,070 --> 00:57:06,910
It doesn't even make sense.

1630
00:57:07,550 --> 00:57:10,050
Like, oh, if we send $7 billion more,

1631
00:57:10,390 --> 00:57:12,910
then he'll be stronger at the negotiating table?

1632
00:57:13,010 --> 00:57:14,130
I don't see how it makes sense.

1633
00:57:14,190 --> 00:57:15,750
But this is the talking point.

1634
00:57:15,790 --> 00:57:18,010
The tools we possibly can to strengthen their

1635
00:57:18,010 --> 00:57:20,330
position on the battlefield so that they'll be

1636
00:57:20,330 --> 00:57:21,770
stronger at the negotiating table.

1637
00:57:21,890 --> 00:57:24,990
And President Biden directed me to oversee a

1638
00:57:24,990 --> 00:57:29,190
massive surge in the military equipment that we

1639
00:57:29,190 --> 00:57:31,010
are delivering to Ukraine so that we have

1640
00:57:31,010 --> 00:57:34,230
spent every dollar that Congress has appropriated to

1641
00:57:34,230 --> 00:57:36,710
us by the time that President Biden leaves

1642
00:57:36,710 --> 00:57:36,990
office.

1643
00:57:37,110 --> 00:57:38,910
So that's first and foremost what we're focused

1644
00:57:38,910 --> 00:57:39,150
on.

1645
00:57:39,290 --> 00:57:42,490
And then I've encouraged the Ukrainian team to

1646
00:57:42,490 --> 00:57:45,290
engage the incoming team as well as to

1647
00:57:45,290 --> 00:57:48,050
engage all of our allies and partners because,

1648
00:57:48,270 --> 00:57:50,250
again, on January 21st, the war in Ukraine

1649
00:57:50,250 --> 00:57:51,310
doesn't just go away.

1650
00:57:51,830 --> 00:57:53,390
Obviously, the new team will have its own

1651
00:57:53,390 --> 00:57:55,730
policy, its own approach, and I can't speak

1652
00:57:55,730 --> 00:57:56,190
to that.

1653
00:57:56,490 --> 00:57:58,070
But what I can do is make sure

1654
00:57:58,070 --> 00:57:59,710
that we put Ukraine in the best possible

1655
00:57:59,710 --> 00:58:01,530
position when we hand off the baton.

1656
00:58:02,410 --> 00:58:02,890
Okay.

1657
00:58:03,930 --> 00:58:06,510
I mean, is this paying everybody off or,

1658
00:58:06,750 --> 00:58:07,770
you know, like, okay, listen.

1659
00:58:08,010 --> 00:58:08,510
Ah, you got it.

1660
00:58:08,610 --> 00:58:09,030
You nailed it.

1661
00:58:09,210 --> 00:58:10,130
Don't make waves.

1662
00:58:10,270 --> 00:58:11,430
We're going to pay everybody off.

1663
00:58:11,670 --> 00:58:12,070
This is money laundering.

1664
00:58:12,530 --> 00:58:14,910
And that kind of fits in with our

1665
00:58:14,910 --> 00:58:15,790
boy Mark Rutte.

1666
00:58:15,910 --> 00:58:17,450
Mark Rutte going to tell you what we're

1667
00:58:17,450 --> 00:58:19,170
doing, what we can and cannot do with

1668
00:58:19,170 --> 00:58:21,270
NATO regarding Ukraine.

1669
00:58:21,590 --> 00:58:24,430
Ukraine's foreign minister went to Brussels with two

1670
00:58:24,430 --> 00:58:27,870
asks, more air defenses, and an invitation for

1671
00:58:27,870 --> 00:58:29,570
his country to join NATO.

1672
00:58:29,570 --> 00:58:32,530
The latter, he says, is the only real

1673
00:58:32,530 --> 00:58:35,670
guarantee of security in the face of Russian

1674
00:58:35,670 --> 00:58:36,330
aggression.

1675
00:58:36,730 --> 00:58:39,290
Now is a time, is a true time

1676
00:58:39,290 --> 00:58:42,250
of geopolitical certainty.

1677
00:58:43,010 --> 00:58:44,210
And we need this certainty.

1678
00:58:44,410 --> 00:58:48,590
We need strong decisions to strengthen us, to

1679
00:58:48,590 --> 00:58:49,950
strengthen our capacities.

1680
00:58:50,470 --> 00:58:52,390
But leading his first of these meetings as

1681
00:58:52,390 --> 00:58:55,110
Secretary General, Mark Rutte was quick to push

1682
00:58:55,110 --> 00:58:56,850
the question of membership aside.

1683
00:58:56,850 --> 00:59:00,030
I would argue, let's not have all these

1684
00:59:00,030 --> 00:59:01,970
discussions step by step on what the peace

1685
00:59:01,970 --> 00:59:02,830
process might look like.

1686
00:59:02,970 --> 00:59:05,770
Make sure that Ukraine has what it needs

1687
00:59:05,770 --> 00:59:08,370
to get to a position of strength when

1688
00:59:08,370 --> 00:59:09,490
those peace talks start.

1689
00:59:09,710 --> 00:59:11,730
Oh, the strength when the peace talks start.

1690
00:59:11,830 --> 00:59:13,390
So it's starting soon.

1691
00:59:13,630 --> 00:59:16,170
Meaning it is a request which seems unlikely

1692
00:59:16,170 --> 00:59:16,990
right now.

1693
00:59:17,230 --> 00:59:19,190
With the U.S. awaiting a change in

1694
00:59:19,190 --> 00:59:22,450
leadership come January and Germany facing elections a

1695
00:59:22,450 --> 00:59:25,210
month later, the pair fear such a request

1696
00:59:25,210 --> 00:59:27,790
could drag NATO into a war with Russia.

1697
00:59:28,450 --> 00:59:32,370
We share the concern that Mark expressed for

1698
00:59:32,370 --> 00:59:33,810
Ukraine in this ongoing aggression.

1699
00:59:34,110 --> 00:59:36,210
But that only reinforces our determination to make

1700
00:59:36,210 --> 00:59:38,370
sure that Ukraine has what it needs to

1701
00:59:38,370 --> 00:59:39,870
deal with what is facing on the battlefield.

1702
00:59:40,270 --> 00:59:42,750
The alliance says anything other than a strong

1703
00:59:42,750 --> 00:59:47,130
Ukraine risks emboldening others contemplating a similar path

1704
00:59:47,130 --> 00:59:47,730
of aggression.

1705
00:59:48,370 --> 00:59:51,190
Aside from Ukraine, meetings in the building behind

1706
00:59:51,190 --> 00:59:53,850
me will address other threats to NATO members.

1707
00:59:54,250 --> 00:59:59,030
Cyber attacks, infrastructure sabotage, energy blackmail, as well

1708
00:59:59,030 --> 01:00:02,050
as threats from pro-Russian political parties in

1709
01:00:02,050 --> 01:00:04,770
countries like Georgia, Romania, and Bulgaria.

1710
01:00:05,270 --> 01:00:07,050
Ah, Bulgaria next on the list.

1711
01:00:07,170 --> 01:00:09,470
We haven't heard them kick up yet.

1712
01:00:09,550 --> 01:00:11,070
We have Romania and Georgia.

1713
01:00:11,150 --> 01:00:13,950
By the way, how far is Ferndale from

1714
01:00:13,950 --> 01:00:14,610
where you live?

1715
01:00:16,350 --> 01:00:16,950
Ferndale?

1716
01:00:17,150 --> 01:00:17,450
Yeah.

1717
01:00:18,470 --> 01:00:20,790
Is it Ferndale in Southern California?

1718
01:00:21,090 --> 01:00:23,030
No, it's supposed to be Humboldt County.

1719
01:00:24,670 --> 01:00:26,790
Oh, Humboldt County's nowhere near here.

1720
01:00:26,910 --> 01:00:29,410
Oh, okay, because everyone's texting me and I've

1721
01:00:29,410 --> 01:00:29,710
got...

1722
01:00:29,710 --> 01:00:31,030
I'd say it's about 200 miles.

1723
01:00:31,310 --> 01:00:33,710
No, at least 100 miles.

1724
01:00:33,910 --> 01:00:35,350
I'm getting text messages.

1725
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:36,390
Everyone's concerned.

1726
01:00:36,530 --> 01:00:37,830
They can't believe you're alive.

1727
01:00:38,790 --> 01:00:40,310
What's going on in Ferndale?

1728
01:00:40,370 --> 01:00:43,710
A 7.0 magnitude earthquake has struck off

1729
01:00:43,710 --> 01:00:45,330
the coast of Northern California.

1730
01:00:45,330 --> 01:00:47,710
Tsunami warning has been issued.

1731
01:00:49,430 --> 01:00:50,690
That's nowhere near here.

1732
01:00:50,710 --> 01:00:51,550
Grab your floaties.

1733
01:00:51,970 --> 01:00:54,510
And if it was a 7.0, which

1734
01:00:54,510 --> 01:00:56,450
is a pretty strong quake, and I didn't

1735
01:00:56,450 --> 01:00:57,050
feel it...

1736
01:00:57,050 --> 01:00:59,550
Yeah, that's why I find it rather questionable.

1737
01:01:00,170 --> 01:01:00,790
It's too far away.

1738
01:01:01,070 --> 01:01:02,010
Questionable, questionable.

1739
01:01:02,910 --> 01:01:05,430
Okay, well, tsunami warning, tsunami warning.

1740
01:01:05,690 --> 01:01:07,090
I'm not expecting that either.

1741
01:01:07,230 --> 01:01:07,930
It's breaking news.

1742
01:01:08,710 --> 01:01:09,410
Breaking news.

1743
01:01:09,670 --> 01:01:10,210
Breaking news.

1744
01:01:10,530 --> 01:01:12,010
I'm glad you're safe.

1745
01:01:12,230 --> 01:01:12,730
Stay safe.

1746
01:01:14,430 --> 01:01:15,230
Stay safe.

1747
01:01:18,470 --> 01:01:20,350
So, you know, part of this is, yeah,

1748
01:01:20,410 --> 01:01:21,230
it's money laundering.

1749
01:01:21,290 --> 01:01:23,290
It's money to pay off the military-industrial

1750
01:01:23,290 --> 01:01:23,750
complex.

1751
01:01:23,870 --> 01:01:26,030
Okay, boys, we got a little period here.

1752
01:01:26,090 --> 01:01:26,970
We're all going to chill out.

1753
01:01:27,070 --> 01:01:29,010
We're going to give some of our contacts

1754
01:01:29,010 --> 01:01:30,530
over in Ukraine some money.

1755
01:01:31,250 --> 01:01:32,650
We're winding it down.

1756
01:01:33,270 --> 01:01:35,630
Trump is obviously going to...

1757
01:01:35,630 --> 01:01:38,050
By the way, did you see that Tucker

1758
01:01:38,050 --> 01:01:40,010
Carlson is going to Russia again, and now

1759
01:01:40,010 --> 01:01:41,890
he's going to interview Sergey Lavrov?

1760
01:01:42,490 --> 01:01:42,870
Yep.

1761
01:01:43,190 --> 01:01:43,850
This is...

1762
01:01:43,850 --> 01:01:47,010
I think this is a fantastic development.

1763
01:01:47,730 --> 01:01:48,070
Why?

1764
01:01:48,330 --> 01:01:51,430
Because Lavrov speaks perfect English, so it'll be

1765
01:01:51,430 --> 01:01:52,610
a much more comfortable...

1766
01:01:52,610 --> 01:01:53,730
His English is good.

1767
01:01:53,970 --> 01:01:56,890
It'll be a much more comfortable interview, and,

1768
01:01:56,950 --> 01:01:58,110
you know, Tucker's going to go over there,

1769
01:01:58,250 --> 01:02:01,230
and Lavrov can put out whatever he wants,

1770
01:02:01,270 --> 01:02:02,630
and everybody's going to watch it.

1771
01:02:04,590 --> 01:02:06,630
Ferndale's 293 miles away.

1772
01:02:07,710 --> 01:02:09,310
Stop waxing your surfboard.

1773
01:02:09,410 --> 01:02:11,010
No tsunami for you.

1774
01:02:12,450 --> 01:02:13,430
That's a long way.

1775
01:02:13,650 --> 01:02:15,390
Anyway, I think it's going to be very

1776
01:02:15,390 --> 01:02:18,090
interesting to see what messages Lavrov is going

1777
01:02:18,090 --> 01:02:19,090
to send to us.

1778
01:02:22,030 --> 01:02:22,410
Oh, yeah.

1779
01:02:22,670 --> 01:02:23,910
Well, that will be good.

1780
01:02:24,030 --> 01:02:24,210
Yeah.

1781
01:02:24,350 --> 01:02:25,990
Because he definitely has things to...

1782
01:02:25,990 --> 01:02:26,670
He's a good...

1783
01:02:26,670 --> 01:02:27,950
One of those guys who likes to drop

1784
01:02:27,950 --> 01:02:32,250
little tidbits that you can interpret one way

1785
01:02:32,250 --> 01:02:34,170
or the other, and he's got the ear...

1786
01:02:34,170 --> 01:02:35,190
I mean, he is Putin.

1787
01:02:35,550 --> 01:02:35,850
Yeah.

1788
01:02:35,950 --> 01:02:36,530
Oh, definitely.

1789
01:02:37,190 --> 01:02:43,110
And, meanwhile, the Palantir CEO, that guy is

1790
01:02:43,110 --> 01:02:43,510
weird.

1791
01:02:44,530 --> 01:02:45,530
Have you ever looked at that guy?

1792
01:02:46,190 --> 01:02:46,370
No.

1793
01:02:46,470 --> 01:02:48,070
I like the use of your word, though.

1794
01:02:48,910 --> 01:02:49,110
Yeah.

1795
01:02:49,290 --> 01:02:49,890
Well, he is.

1796
01:02:50,470 --> 01:02:52,230
He's actually capital W.

1797
01:02:53,030 --> 01:02:54,450
Have you not seen this guy with the

1798
01:02:54,450 --> 01:02:56,430
curly hair, the floppy hair that's flying all

1799
01:02:56,430 --> 01:02:57,070
over the place?

1800
01:02:57,430 --> 01:02:57,810
No.

1801
01:02:58,070 --> 01:02:59,190
Let me look him up.

1802
01:02:59,250 --> 01:03:00,030
You got to look him up.

1803
01:03:00,470 --> 01:03:01,990
He's a very odd duck.

1804
01:03:02,070 --> 01:03:02,710
Hold on a second.

1805
01:03:03,850 --> 01:03:04,250
Palantir.

1806
01:03:04,250 --> 01:03:04,910
What's his name?

1807
01:03:05,490 --> 01:03:05,930
CEO Palantir.

1808
01:03:05,930 --> 01:03:07,090
I'm going to look it up for you.

1809
01:03:07,650 --> 01:03:08,790
The Alex Karp.

1810
01:03:09,810 --> 01:03:10,550
Alex Karp.

1811
01:03:10,630 --> 01:03:11,350
Where does he come from?

1812
01:03:11,610 --> 01:03:13,030
C-A-R-P-P or C-A

1813
01:03:13,030 --> 01:03:13,350
-R-P?

1814
01:03:13,550 --> 01:03:14,470
K-A-R-P.

1815
01:03:17,470 --> 01:03:19,610
So what is his...

1816
01:03:19,610 --> 01:03:20,090
Oh, Stanford.

1817
01:03:21,510 --> 01:03:21,950
Right?

1818
01:03:22,350 --> 01:03:24,010
Isn't this exactly the kind of...

1819
01:03:24,010 --> 01:03:25,270
He's got a mop head.

1820
01:03:25,510 --> 01:03:26,830
He's a goofy-looking guy.

1821
01:03:26,950 --> 01:03:28,230
He never combs his hair.

1822
01:03:28,570 --> 01:03:29,590
It's grayish.

1823
01:03:29,690 --> 01:03:32,650
It's CIA-ish, but it's unkempt.

1824
01:03:32,650 --> 01:03:38,350
Yeah, but this is a very big military

1825
01:03:38,350 --> 01:03:39,270
contractor.

1826
01:03:40,910 --> 01:03:43,530
And for all intents and purposes, I don't

1827
01:03:43,530 --> 01:03:44,310
like Palantir.

1828
01:03:44,430 --> 01:03:45,850
They don't seem like a good company.

1829
01:03:46,130 --> 01:03:49,450
Who knows where they are in?

1830
01:03:50,570 --> 01:03:52,210
They're in all kinds of systems.

1831
01:03:52,970 --> 01:03:56,870
And this, by the way, is part of

1832
01:03:56,870 --> 01:03:57,570
the...

1833
01:03:57,570 --> 01:03:58,630
What's the name?

1834
01:03:58,630 --> 01:04:02,190
The PayPal Mafia guy who got J.D.

1835
01:04:02,270 --> 01:04:05,630
Vance into the senator seat, supposedly.

1836
01:04:05,770 --> 01:04:06,250
Yeah, this is...

1837
01:04:06,250 --> 01:04:06,850
What's his name?

1838
01:04:06,930 --> 01:04:09,710
His buddy or his major investment is...

1839
01:04:09,710 --> 01:04:09,850
Peter Thiel.

1840
01:04:10,050 --> 01:04:10,450
Peter Thiel.

1841
01:04:10,470 --> 01:04:10,890
Yeah, Thiel.

1842
01:04:11,750 --> 01:04:12,670
He's like, oh, no.

1843
01:04:12,870 --> 01:04:13,270
Oh, no.

1844
01:04:13,370 --> 01:04:14,990
No, this war is not over.

1845
01:04:15,170 --> 01:04:16,290
It's very hard to know what's going to

1846
01:04:16,290 --> 01:04:18,230
happen, but you have an adversary who is

1847
01:04:18,230 --> 01:04:18,770
zero-sum.

1848
01:04:19,410 --> 01:04:20,970
If Putin goes home and says, hey, we

1849
01:04:20,970 --> 01:04:22,870
lost, he will lose his life.

1850
01:04:22,930 --> 01:04:23,910
His friends will lose their life.

1851
01:04:23,950 --> 01:04:24,770
They'll lose all their money.

1852
01:04:26,190 --> 01:04:28,630
And he'll go to his grave feeling that

1853
01:04:28,630 --> 01:04:30,030
he lost, which he does not want to

1854
01:04:30,030 --> 01:04:30,190
do.

1855
01:04:30,570 --> 01:04:32,410
We in the West, most of us in

1856
01:04:32,410 --> 01:04:35,210
the West, correctly believe if we allow these

1857
01:04:35,210 --> 01:04:36,610
kind of things to happen, if we allow

1858
01:04:36,610 --> 01:04:38,490
people to violate the sovereignty of a land

1859
01:04:38,490 --> 01:04:40,790
and rape, pillage, and destroy people who are

1860
01:04:40,790 --> 01:04:42,750
innocent in that land, that this will set

1861
01:04:42,750 --> 01:04:43,730
a horrible precedent.

1862
01:04:43,850 --> 01:04:45,350
So we can't allow that to happen.

1863
01:04:46,150 --> 01:04:48,930
Also, we've shown that we develop superior technology,

1864
01:04:49,110 --> 01:04:51,270
and combined with heroes on the ground, we

1865
01:04:51,270 --> 01:04:52,150
can actually win.

1866
01:04:53,430 --> 01:04:56,050
And so this is just still a class

1867
01:04:56,050 --> 01:04:56,530
of culture.

1868
01:04:57,690 --> 01:04:58,030
Really?

1869
01:04:58,910 --> 01:05:00,230
Really, mophead guy?

1870
01:05:01,210 --> 01:05:03,070
I mean, he's like, oh, no, it's still

1871
01:05:03,070 --> 01:05:03,550
going on.

1872
01:05:03,610 --> 01:05:04,830
I mean, the heroes on the ground with

1873
01:05:04,830 --> 01:05:06,050
our technology, they can win.

1874
01:05:06,150 --> 01:05:06,870
They can beat Russia.

1875
01:05:08,870 --> 01:05:09,850
Is he not read in?

1876
01:05:09,850 --> 01:05:12,110
So this guy co-founded Palantir.

1877
01:05:14,010 --> 01:05:14,850
But he's the CEO.

1878
01:05:15,210 --> 01:05:17,030
He's not as spook it looks like, but

1879
01:05:17,030 --> 01:05:19,930
he looks spook adjacent.

1880
01:05:19,930 --> 01:05:21,350
He looks like the data guy.

1881
01:05:22,370 --> 01:05:23,770
I invented it all.

1882
01:05:24,230 --> 01:05:25,470
I'm the database man.

1883
01:05:25,530 --> 01:05:27,590
Karp is a critic of short sellers and

1884
01:05:27,590 --> 01:05:30,490
said he loves burning the short sellers because

1885
01:05:30,490 --> 01:05:31,390
of his stock.

1886
01:05:31,870 --> 01:05:34,750
He has compared them to cocaine addicts and

1887
01:05:34,750 --> 01:05:37,010
says they just love pulling down great American

1888
01:05:37,010 --> 01:05:37,670
companies.

1889
01:05:37,870 --> 01:05:39,830
So far, his stock is doing just fine.

1890
01:05:39,830 --> 01:05:42,790
Karp has described himself as a socialist and

1891
01:05:42,790 --> 01:05:45,690
a progressive and says he voted for Hillary

1892
01:05:45,690 --> 01:05:46,170
Clinton.

1893
01:05:46,170 --> 01:05:49,110
Oh, no wonder he's not in the group.

1894
01:05:50,030 --> 01:05:50,950
Oh, no, man.

1895
01:05:51,670 --> 01:05:53,190
He must have the goods on everybody.

1896
01:05:53,290 --> 01:05:53,750
I don't know.

1897
01:05:54,590 --> 01:05:55,450
It's odd.

1898
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,660
So did you by any chance see.

1899
01:06:00,740 --> 01:06:01,640
He's a warmonger.

1900
01:06:01,700 --> 01:06:03,920
If you look at this, his background, look

1901
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:04,320
at a wiki.

1902
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:05,400
People should look at him.

1903
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:06,020
He's a progressive.

1904
01:06:06,260 --> 01:06:06,860
He's a progressive.

1905
01:06:07,820 --> 01:06:09,280
Of course, he's a progressive.

1906
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,220
So I had a thought the other day.

1907
01:06:12,220 --> 01:06:14,440
I watched the entire two and a half

1908
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:18,060
hours of Mike bends on Joe Rogan.

1909
01:06:18,140 --> 01:06:19,620
Did you happen to see any of that?

1910
01:06:19,820 --> 01:06:20,600
No, I did not.

1911
01:06:20,700 --> 01:06:21,120
Thank you.

1912
01:06:21,180 --> 01:06:22,700
But I knew you would.

1913
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:24,660
And I'm now I'm waiting to hear your

1914
01:06:24,660 --> 01:06:25,280
analysis.

1915
01:06:25,700 --> 01:06:27,640
Well, so and I did ask Tina.

1916
01:06:27,740 --> 01:06:29,580
I said, could you just please listen to

1917
01:06:29,580 --> 01:06:30,320
this episode?

1918
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,700
And she had because she was driving to

1919
01:06:32,700 --> 01:06:35,200
San Antonio and she text me within 10

1920
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:35,380
minutes.

1921
01:06:35,500 --> 01:06:37,260
I can't listen to this.

1922
01:06:37,300 --> 01:06:38,740
And she can listen to almost anything.

1923
01:06:38,740 --> 01:06:42,680
So this guy, he's he's just like he

1924
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,200
has diarrhea of the mouth.

1925
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:45,820
I don't know what he's talking about.

1926
01:06:45,940 --> 01:06:47,060
He's jumping around.

1927
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:48,120
I have no clue.

1928
01:06:48,420 --> 01:06:50,780
This was I think Joe said if he

1929
01:06:50,780 --> 01:06:53,560
said 50 words in this entire episode, it

1930
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:54,400
was a lot.

1931
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:56,680
And it was just like the mic.

1932
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,760
It was so convoluted.

1933
01:06:58,900 --> 01:07:00,080
I'll give you I have a minute and

1934
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:00,320
a half.

1935
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:02,560
Just a needle drop.

1936
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:03,720
Just a needle drop.

1937
01:07:04,020 --> 01:07:05,480
Just so you kind of get the idea

1938
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:06,860
of how he jumps around.

1939
01:07:06,860 --> 01:07:08,140
This is something we know a little bit

1940
01:07:08,140 --> 01:07:08,500
about.

1941
01:07:08,820 --> 01:07:10,400
But just listen to a needle drop of

1942
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,200
what this entire two and a half hours

1943
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:12,600
was like.

1944
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,120
This is basically the month before the Bob

1945
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:15,820
Mueller investigation.

1946
01:07:16,460 --> 01:07:19,520
And they they wanted to pre-censor and

1947
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:23,640
and throttle Trump's ability to be able to

1948
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,660
fight off charges that he was a Russian

1949
01:07:26,660 --> 01:07:26,900
asset.

1950
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,480
Because at the time, the Pentagon and the

1951
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:29,820
intelligence community want him out.

1952
01:07:29,820 --> 01:07:31,960
If you remember, the Ukraine impeachment in 2019

1953
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:38,540
came from the CIA agent came from the

1954
01:07:38,540 --> 01:07:40,120
Vindman brothers who are military.

1955
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,280
Basically, Trump had a big beef with the

1956
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,520
existing brass at the Pentagon and the intelligence

1957
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:49,340
community over Russia policy over Eurasia policy, which

1958
01:07:49,340 --> 01:07:50,540
is a whole thing that we can maybe

1959
01:07:50,540 --> 01:07:52,020
talk about it if you're if you're interested.

1960
01:07:52,540 --> 01:07:55,060
But so the Atlanta Council was was one

1961
01:07:55,060 --> 01:07:56,980
of the very, very, very first movers in

1962
01:07:56,980 --> 01:07:58,200
the censorship industry space.

1963
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:01,040
I mentioned how this really started in 2014

1964
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:05,340
with 25 years of free speech diplomacy sort

1965
01:08:05,340 --> 01:08:08,700
of ended with the 2014 Ukraine fiasco because

1966
01:08:08,700 --> 01:08:11,140
of this Drosimov doctrine, hybrid warfare thing.

1967
01:08:11,220 --> 01:08:12,720
And I mentioned that that's when NATO began

1968
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,800
setting down infrastructure just to censor the Internet.

1969
01:08:15,939 --> 01:08:17,939
And that's what snowballed into what we now

1970
01:08:17,939 --> 01:08:18,279
have.

1971
01:08:19,340 --> 01:08:23,060
And so the Atlanta Council effectively bills itself

1972
01:08:23,060 --> 01:08:24,140
as NATO's think tank.

1973
01:08:24,220 --> 01:08:25,800
That's what it's known as in Washington.

1974
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,700
You know, there's, you know, the places like

1975
01:08:28,700 --> 01:08:30,180
the Council on Foreign Relations is sort of

1976
01:08:30,180 --> 01:08:31,979
more known for Chamber of Commerce and big

1977
01:08:31,979 --> 01:08:34,859
business sort of working on government policy.

1978
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,800
The Atlanta Council is one of these that's

1979
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:38,260
for NATO.

1980
01:08:38,580 --> 01:08:42,600
And it's basically NATO's clandestine civilian sort of

1981
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:43,680
civil military arm.

1982
01:08:43,899 --> 01:08:46,500
So you can understand that most mere mortals

1983
01:08:46,500 --> 01:08:48,439
listen to this and go, what is he

1984
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:49,439
talking about?

1985
01:08:50,500 --> 01:08:52,560
You know, they probably got left behind at

1986
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:53,399
Trump's impeachment.

1987
01:08:53,399 --> 01:08:54,319
OK, I'm there.

1988
01:08:54,420 --> 01:08:57,180
And then it's the 2014 Atlantic Council and

1989
01:08:57,180 --> 01:08:58,279
the Council on Foreign Relations.

1990
01:08:58,700 --> 01:09:00,000
So he's all over the map.

1991
01:09:00,700 --> 01:09:03,160
And to most people, just boring.

1992
01:09:03,319 --> 01:09:06,180
I found it very interesting because he knows

1993
01:09:06,180 --> 01:09:09,560
a lot and he's very well, you know,

1994
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,260
he calls, this is my North Star.

1995
01:09:11,899 --> 01:09:14,880
But all he talks about is censorship, censorship,

1996
01:09:15,260 --> 01:09:15,600
censorship.

1997
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,660
It's only about censorship and then how, you

1998
01:09:19,660 --> 01:09:22,600
know, the all these different groups, USAID and

1999
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:25,600
the State Department's Global Engagement Center and how

2000
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,600
they were making the tech company censor, censor.

2001
01:09:28,700 --> 01:09:30,580
And that's all he talks about is censorship.

2002
01:09:30,939 --> 01:09:33,500
And what I realized at the end of

2003
01:09:33,500 --> 01:09:36,420
this and Joe Rogan literally said, I have

2004
01:09:36,420 --> 01:09:37,779
to go back and listen to this episode

2005
01:09:37,779 --> 01:09:39,560
two more times to understand what you just

2006
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:39,920
said.

2007
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,220
So I don't think many people got it.

2008
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:46,140
But what he didn't talk about is propaganda.

2009
01:09:47,700 --> 01:09:50,020
And he never mentions and this was telling

2010
01:09:50,020 --> 01:09:53,279
to me, never mentioned Smith-Munt, the Smith

2011
01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:56,540
-Munt Modernization Act, which was 2012.

2012
01:09:57,380 --> 01:10:02,060
Well, I think, well, I would at least

2013
01:10:02,060 --> 01:10:07,960
suggest that perhaps he assumes that everyone knows

2014
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:10,580
about this and he just overlooked it because

2015
01:10:10,580 --> 01:10:12,540
it sounds like he was jamming everything he

2016
01:10:12,540 --> 01:10:13,160
could into this.

2017
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,220
There's no reason for him to, oops, I

2018
01:10:16,220 --> 01:10:18,020
assumed you knew about this.

2019
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:18,980
No.

2020
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,800
And by the way, most of these ex

2021
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,620
-military and he's not military, but he was

2022
01:10:23,620 --> 01:10:24,840
State Department, whatever.

2023
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:25,840
I don't care.

2024
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:29,040
He has a foundation for defending freedom online.

2025
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:30,780
There's no Form 990.

2026
01:10:30,820 --> 01:10:32,060
You can't donate to it.

2027
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:33,420
I don't know how the guy makes money.

2028
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:34,380
I don't care.

2029
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,820
But his job is to tell Joe Rogan

2030
01:10:36,820 --> 01:10:37,960
about all the censorship.

2031
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,300
And as I started to think about it,

2032
01:10:40,340 --> 01:10:42,040
because all of his stories kind of start

2033
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:42,740
in 2012.

2034
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,980
This is exactly when the Smith-Munt Modernization

2035
01:10:45,980 --> 01:10:49,460
Act of 2012 came into play as part

2036
01:10:49,460 --> 01:10:51,340
of the National Defense Authorization Act.

2037
01:10:51,340 --> 01:10:57,600
And maybe we just need to just remind

2038
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,000
people what this was.

2039
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,760
And it was specifically that, well, here it

2040
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,180
is, amends the United States Information Educational Exchange

2041
01:11:06,180 --> 01:11:09,060
Act of 1984, which means you can't propagandize

2042
01:11:09,060 --> 01:11:09,580
Americans.

2043
01:11:10,020 --> 01:11:12,820
To authorize the Secretary of State and the

2044
01:11:12,820 --> 01:11:16,060
Broadcasting Board of Governors, that is Tucker Carlson's

2045
01:11:16,060 --> 01:11:18,980
dad, to provide for the preparation and dissemination

2046
01:11:18,980 --> 01:11:22,480
of information intended for foreign audiences abroad about

2047
01:11:22,480 --> 01:11:23,320
the United States.

2048
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,040
Including about its people, its history, the federal

2049
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:30,180
government policies, through press, publications, radio, motion pictures,

2050
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:34,100
the Internet, and other information media, including social

2051
01:11:34,100 --> 01:11:34,580
media.

2052
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,840
And then through information centers and instructors.

2053
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,460
And it says, basically, you can now do

2054
01:11:40,460 --> 01:11:41,200
this in America.

2055
01:11:41,820 --> 01:11:43,440
And as I was thinking about it, and

2056
01:11:43,440 --> 01:11:45,300
so I'm already off Mike Benz, right?

2057
01:11:45,300 --> 01:11:48,600
So Mike Benz, he's trying to focus everybody

2058
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:49,380
on censorship.

2059
01:11:49,900 --> 01:11:51,960
Do you remember one of the big social

2060
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:56,080
media experiments that took place in 2012 that

2061
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:57,420
we were shaking our head at?

2062
01:11:57,460 --> 01:11:59,000
Like, where is this coming from?

2063
01:12:00,480 --> 01:12:01,680
Well, not offhand.

2064
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:03,040
Kony 2012.

2065
01:12:04,100 --> 01:12:04,980
Oh, yeah.

2066
01:12:05,260 --> 01:12:08,040
Kony 2012 was the first one.

2067
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:09,560
Hundred billion views.

2068
01:12:09,900 --> 01:12:10,500
Overnight.

2069
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:11,140
Overnight.

2070
01:12:11,500 --> 01:12:11,620
Overnight.

2071
01:12:11,620 --> 01:12:14,180
And everybody, oh, Kony 2012.

2072
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,060
It was about some African warlord who was

2073
01:12:17,060 --> 01:12:18,020
using children.

2074
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,480
And the guy who was running it later

2075
01:12:21,480 --> 01:12:23,840
went nuts and was running around naked on

2076
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:25,920
top of parked cars at a motel.

2077
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:26,700
Right.

2078
01:12:27,140 --> 01:12:29,240
From that, whatever that was, what was that

2079
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:31,700
stuff, bath salts or whatever that was at

2080
01:12:31,700 --> 01:12:32,960
the time, any other trend?

2081
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:34,680
Or whatever they did to him.

2082
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:38,580
Because I'm just realizing this was an experiment.

2083
01:12:38,580 --> 01:12:41,240
This was one of the first, let's see

2084
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:42,480
if we can get a video to go

2085
01:12:42,480 --> 01:12:42,740
via.

2086
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:43,600
We didn't have TikTok.

2087
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:46,360
It was YouTube.

2088
01:12:47,460 --> 01:12:48,020
Yeah, exactly.

2089
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:49,360
And it was YouTube.

2090
01:12:49,860 --> 01:12:53,000
But this was another fine Google outfit.

2091
01:12:53,460 --> 01:12:55,740
This was well after social networks had already

2092
01:12:55,740 --> 01:12:56,980
kind of come alive.

2093
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:02,300
And I'm just kind of associating, free association.

2094
01:13:02,820 --> 01:13:04,640
In my head, I got, oh, I remember

2095
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,040
John used to say that the Internet just

2096
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:10,040
made their job easier to propagandize everybody.

2097
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:11,440
Which is true.

2098
01:13:11,580 --> 01:13:13,160
I mean, you know, they were doing it

2099
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,920
through magazines and newspapers and television.

2100
01:13:17,260 --> 01:13:19,100
And, you know, so now they say, you

2101
01:13:19,100 --> 01:13:21,580
know, these military guys, you know, now that

2102
01:13:21,580 --> 01:13:22,720
Smith-Munt is out of the way.

2103
01:13:22,740 --> 01:13:25,060
It was in the National Defense Authorization Act

2104
01:13:25,060 --> 01:13:25,840
for a reason.

2105
01:13:26,660 --> 01:13:27,980
And now we can just do all kinds

2106
01:13:27,980 --> 01:13:28,660
of propaganda.

2107
01:13:28,660 --> 01:13:31,180
So the same day that I'm looking at

2108
01:13:31,180 --> 01:13:35,440
this, Jonathan Haidt comes out with an article.

2109
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:37,800
And Jonathan Haidt is the guy who wrote

2110
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,660
The Coddling of the American Mind about, you

2111
01:13:40,660 --> 01:13:42,940
know, how we've turned out all these wussies.

2112
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:45,700
I'm paraphrasing his book.

2113
01:13:46,500 --> 01:13:49,480
And he has this article, and he says,

2114
01:13:49,580 --> 01:13:51,020
and they did all this, they got this

2115
01:13:51,020 --> 01:13:52,940
Pew research, they got all this data.

2116
01:13:52,940 --> 01:13:55,020
And the title of this article is Why

2117
01:13:55,020 --> 01:13:58,360
the Mental Health of Liberal Girls Sank First

2118
01:13:58,360 --> 01:13:59,260
and Fastest.

2119
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:00,880
And I thought that was kind of interesting.

2120
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,840
Oh, because that's your TikToks right there.

2121
01:14:04,140 --> 01:14:06,460
They're all liberal girls and women, and they're

2122
01:14:06,460 --> 01:14:07,140
going nuts.

2123
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:09,640
And they're out of control.

2124
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:10,920
They're out of control.

2125
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:15,560
So I'm reading this, and their conclusion is,

2126
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,580
well, so there's three great untruths that they

2127
01:14:19,580 --> 01:14:22,300
have, that these women have come to believe.

2128
01:14:23,100 --> 01:14:24,680
And here they are.

2129
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,360
They are fragile and can be harmed by

2130
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:31,320
books, speakers, words, which are forms of violence.

2131
01:14:31,980 --> 01:14:34,160
They came to believe that their emotions, especially

2132
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:38,240
their anxieties, were reliable guides to reality.

2133
01:14:38,660 --> 01:14:40,820
And they came to see society as comprised

2134
01:14:40,820 --> 01:14:43,840
of victims and oppressors, good people and bad

2135
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:44,200
people.

2136
01:14:45,020 --> 01:14:49,200
But their conclusion is that every single one

2137
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:51,800
of these girls, and it was much less

2138
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:54,940
prevalent on conservative boys and girls, probably because

2139
01:14:54,940 --> 01:14:57,660
they're doing Bible study, whatever else, but it

2140
01:14:57,660 --> 01:14:59,860
still went up for them as well, was

2141
01:14:59,860 --> 01:15:02,640
that every single one of them, when asked

2142
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,280
the question in the survey, has a doctor

2143
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,720
or other health care provider ever told you

2144
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:10,520
that you may have a mental condition, a

2145
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:11,460
mental health condition?

2146
01:15:11,460 --> 01:15:13,260
All of them said yes.

2147
01:15:15,060 --> 01:15:17,840
So I'm thinking there's two things that may

2148
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:19,620
have been going on since 2012.

2149
01:15:19,980 --> 01:15:22,960
One, that we may be under some big

2150
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:27,100
DARPA experiment, and they've been noodling in our

2151
01:15:27,100 --> 01:15:29,640
minds with a sewer pipe into our brains

2152
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:33,400
for years, for over a decade, just seeing

2153
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,000
what would happen, well, what if we tweak

2154
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:35,240
this?

2155
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,940
And you don't need the collaboration of the

2156
01:15:38,940 --> 01:15:40,160
social media for that.

2157
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:45,120
You can just get the data from ad

2158
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:47,480
buys information so you can target exactly who

2159
01:15:47,480 --> 01:15:47,960
you want.

2160
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,120
All of these what I call number nicks,

2161
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,640
the people on X who are telling you

2162
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,600
you're no good and you're a Zionist, they

2163
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,180
all have a name with a long number.

2164
01:15:58,940 --> 01:16:00,820
This to me is not a real person

2165
01:16:00,820 --> 01:16:02,920
or it's someone maybe in the global engagement

2166
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:03,380
center.

2167
01:16:03,380 --> 01:16:05,580
And then the second thought I had is

2168
01:16:05,580 --> 01:16:14,220
if you are the pharmaceutical industry, and this

2169
01:16:14,220 --> 01:16:18,600
really started on Tumblr, this is what you

2170
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:18,920
do.

2171
01:16:19,380 --> 01:16:21,540
You go in there and you make all

2172
01:16:21,540 --> 01:16:24,640
these girls all worried that they have mental

2173
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,980
health issues, and you confirm that continuously on

2174
01:16:27,980 --> 01:16:32,200
Reddit and everywhere else they go, and you

2175
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,740
just continuously confirm, affirm.

2176
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,320
And I think that we've been under several

2177
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:44,080
massive, forget the censorship, we have been under

2178
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,160
attack by multiple organizations.

2179
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:49,920
And that this is what has led to

2180
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:53,780
people like Leslie Jones talking like this on

2181
01:16:53,780 --> 01:16:57,640
a podcast with Gavin Newsom, of all people.

2182
01:16:57,640 --> 01:16:59,500
To me, I just feel like all this

2183
01:16:59,500 --> 01:17:00,740
shit is being revealed now.

2184
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,020
Trump brought out all those people who really

2185
01:17:03,020 --> 01:17:07,120
are racist, because most white people are, they

2186
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,540
just don't understand that they have that microaggression.

2187
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:11,980
Y'all mostly are, you don't even understand

2188
01:17:11,980 --> 01:17:13,460
some of the racist shit you do.

2189
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:16,860
And by accident, just from being a white

2190
01:17:16,860 --> 01:17:18,020
entitled motherfucker.

2191
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,720
Seriously, and that shit's starting to show now.

2192
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:24,520
And it's getting so bad, like, oh, we

2193
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:26,640
don't want you to see your history and

2194
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:27,040
all of that.

2195
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:30,260
I think people are just waking up to

2196
01:17:30,260 --> 01:17:32,100
the shit that's been going on.

2197
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:33,460
And now we're waking up.

2198
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:35,660
So this is Leslie Jones of Saturday Night

2199
01:17:35,660 --> 01:17:37,840
Live, of Ghostbusters failed movie.

2200
01:17:38,780 --> 01:17:42,100
And Gavin Newsom helps herself diagnose where this

2201
01:17:42,100 --> 01:17:42,720
came from.

2202
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:44,260
What do you think?

2203
01:17:44,340 --> 01:17:46,600
I mean, do you think there's this current

2204
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,240
sort of more of the extreme of what

2205
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,420
you're just saying, and sort of distillation in

2206
01:17:51,420 --> 01:17:53,640
the last few years, I sense in particular,

2207
01:17:54,060 --> 01:17:56,360
was a reaction to George Floyd?

2208
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,620
It was sort of a reaction in that

2209
01:17:58,620 --> 01:18:00,260
sort of COVID framework.

2210
01:18:00,440 --> 01:18:02,120
I mean, this is the boomerang that really

2211
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:03,980
exposes it at a whole nother level.

2212
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:07,120
Yeah, I think that COVID fucked us up.

2213
01:18:07,140 --> 01:18:09,440
I think that when we had that pandemic

2214
01:18:09,440 --> 01:18:12,320
and was inside for a little while, I

2215
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:14,300
think that some of us lost our fucking

2216
01:18:14,300 --> 01:18:14,660
mind.

2217
01:18:15,300 --> 01:18:19,540
And I think, again, Gavin, I just think

2218
01:18:19,540 --> 01:18:20,160
it's sadness.

2219
01:18:20,540 --> 01:18:21,380
We're sad.

2220
01:18:21,780 --> 01:18:23,900
We don't understand what's going on with our

2221
01:18:23,900 --> 01:18:24,240
government.

2222
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,180
Our government is supposed to be boring.

2223
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:27,440
You know what I'm saying?

2224
01:18:27,580 --> 01:18:29,940
We're not supposed to turn on the TV

2225
01:18:29,940 --> 01:18:32,700
every day and see child molesters and felons

2226
01:18:32,700 --> 01:18:33,900
and shit in our government.

2227
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:35,840
We're supposed to be like, those are the

2228
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:38,220
most boring motherfuckers, and we don't give a

2229
01:18:38,220 --> 01:18:38,380
fuck.

2230
01:18:38,620 --> 01:18:41,920
Like no one, everyone's frustrated because now this

2231
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,320
is happening, and we never understood the system.

2232
01:18:44,540 --> 01:18:47,680
So this is a very, very troubled, very

2233
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,000
broken and sad person.

2234
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,420
And I think this is what happened.

2235
01:18:53,860 --> 01:18:56,140
During COVID, everybody's online.

2236
01:18:56,380 --> 01:18:57,040
They struck.

2237
01:18:57,480 --> 01:19:00,260
They went out, and they just collected souls,

2238
01:19:00,380 --> 01:19:00,560
man.

2239
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:01,240
And you know what?

2240
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:04,720
Blue Cry, I would say people have to

2241
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:06,800
be very, very careful on that Blue Cry

2242
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,860
outfit because that's going to be the next

2243
01:19:09,860 --> 01:19:10,260
target.

2244
01:19:10,440 --> 01:19:13,280
They're going to make them nuts, all of

2245
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:13,380
them.

2246
01:19:13,460 --> 01:19:14,780
And then what's going to happen on X?

2247
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:17,040
That's just going to be, it's going to

2248
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:17,420
be the same.

2249
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:18,680
It's going to be Tumblr will be Blue

2250
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:20,940
Cry, and 4chan will be X.

2251
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,720
And there's propaganda going on on both sides.

2252
01:19:24,820 --> 01:19:27,840
And the end result is Oxford's Word of

2253
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:28,200
the Year.

2254
01:19:28,460 --> 01:19:29,380
Brain rot.

2255
01:19:29,700 --> 01:19:30,680
You have it.

2256
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:31,360
I have it.

2257
01:19:31,480 --> 01:19:33,240
It's the Oxford Word of the Year for

2258
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:33,820
2024.

2259
01:19:34,220 --> 01:19:35,480
Allow me to define it.

2260
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,020
Quote, supposed deterioration of a person's mental or

2261
01:19:39,020 --> 01:19:41,180
intellectual state, especially viewed as a result of

2262
01:19:41,180 --> 01:19:42,640
overconsumption of material.

2263
01:19:43,020 --> 01:19:46,220
Now, particularly online content considered to be trivial

2264
01:19:46,220 --> 01:19:47,840
or unchallenging.

2265
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:49,740
You can use it in two ways.

2266
01:19:49,740 --> 01:19:51,200
You could say, as you may say about

2267
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:52,900
this very video you're watching on your phone,

2268
01:19:53,340 --> 01:19:54,240
that's brain rot.

2269
01:19:54,700 --> 01:19:57,380
Or you can say that video gave me

2270
01:19:57,380 --> 01:19:58,060
brain rot.

2271
01:19:58,220 --> 01:19:58,760
Two ways.

2272
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:00,060
It's all very relatable.

2273
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:00,740
I get it.

2274
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:02,720
So it's the Word of the Year.

2275
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:03,760
It's the Word of the Year.

2276
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:08,520
First used by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

2277
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:09,980
No, Thoreau.

2278
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:11,940
The brain rot is getting me.

2279
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:13,900
It's killing me.

2280
01:20:13,900 --> 01:20:16,620
The guy who wrote Walden's Pond or Walden,

2281
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:18,580
he first used it.

2282
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:20,000
It would be Thoreau.

2283
01:20:20,300 --> 01:20:22,100
Of course, it would be Thoreau, as I

2284
01:20:22,100 --> 01:20:22,400
recall.

2285
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,020
He first used it in the 1800s.

2286
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:25,860
It's back.

2287
01:20:25,980 --> 01:20:26,740
It's the Word of the Year.

2288
01:20:26,940 --> 01:20:27,680
I clearly suffer from it.

2289
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:28,120
And it makes sense.

2290
01:20:28,300 --> 01:20:29,360
It does make a lot of sense.

2291
01:20:30,860 --> 01:20:32,620
So everyone's got brain rot.

2292
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,640
And the only people who are semi-normal

2293
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:38,460
are the ones that just stay off of

2294
01:20:38,460 --> 01:20:38,660
it.

2295
01:20:39,180 --> 01:20:41,140
Or at least don't use it in an

2296
01:20:41,140 --> 01:20:42,720
app formation like you do.

2297
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:46,100
Although, you know, you could easily be susceptible

2298
01:20:46,100 --> 01:20:46,600
to it.

2299
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,340
I think we've been under attack for over

2300
01:20:49,340 --> 01:20:49,740
a decade.

2301
01:20:49,740 --> 01:20:51,160
And we didn't even realize it.

2302
01:20:51,220 --> 01:20:53,060
And we all focused on no censorship.

2303
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:57,160
But meanwhile, they're just pushing messages all day

2304
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:57,600
long.

2305
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:00,260
From the military, from pharma, and maybe from

2306
01:21:00,260 --> 01:21:00,560
others.

2307
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,460
But I think your analysis is good until

2308
01:21:06,460 --> 01:21:07,660
you get to the brain rot part.

2309
01:21:07,660 --> 01:21:08,920
I had to wrap it up.

2310
01:21:08,980 --> 01:21:09,920
I didn't have anything else.

2311
01:21:10,140 --> 01:21:11,400
I tried to make it funny.

2312
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,680
I don't think you have a conclusion to

2313
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:14,020
this.

2314
01:21:14,900 --> 01:21:16,080
I don't have proof.

2315
01:21:16,440 --> 01:21:17,660
I'm throwing it out.

2316
01:21:17,780 --> 01:21:18,580
I'm throwing it out.

2317
01:21:20,340 --> 01:21:21,300
It's a thesis.

2318
01:21:21,580 --> 01:21:22,560
It's a thesis, yes.

2319
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:23,120
It's a thesis.

2320
01:21:23,540 --> 01:21:24,840
It's a classic thesis.

2321
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,260
In other words, you suggest something is going

2322
01:21:27,260 --> 01:21:28,300
on.

2323
01:21:29,780 --> 01:21:30,640
It could be.

2324
01:21:31,300 --> 01:21:35,060
And the methodologies, which would include Ben's and

2325
01:21:35,060 --> 01:21:35,500
these people.

2326
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:36,880
There's a group of people that are all

2327
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:37,780
part of the experiment.

2328
01:21:38,580 --> 01:21:41,340
And the reason you emphasize censorship.

2329
01:21:41,340 --> 01:21:45,160
Because you don't want them to stop doing

2330
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:45,520
it.

2331
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:46,440
Exactly.

2332
01:21:46,660 --> 01:21:48,360
You don't want people to think about what's

2333
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:49,480
really going on.

2334
01:21:49,900 --> 01:21:51,280
No, you don't want them to stop.

2335
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:53,360
I mean, if you have censorship, then somebody

2336
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,180
could put a stop to the experiment.

2337
01:21:55,380 --> 01:21:56,700
Oh, that's another good point.

2338
01:21:57,020 --> 01:21:57,960
That's very good.

2339
01:21:58,180 --> 01:21:59,840
I didn't even consider that one.

2340
01:22:01,060 --> 01:22:03,220
And I look at this blue sky outfit.

2341
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,320
Where everyone's rushed over there.

2342
01:22:06,940 --> 01:22:08,480
And they have all these things like.

2343
01:22:08,480 --> 01:22:10,660
Well, you have to assume that the fact

2344
01:22:10,660 --> 01:22:12,420
that they rushed over the way they did.

2345
01:22:13,820 --> 01:22:16,740
Especially after the CNN report that showed that

2346
01:22:16,740 --> 01:22:19,780
what happened to Twitter was it got balanced.

2347
01:22:20,140 --> 01:22:22,120
It's not a bunch of right wingers.

2348
01:22:22,340 --> 01:22:22,460
Yes.

2349
01:22:22,820 --> 01:22:25,500
There was a very carefully done report showing

2350
01:22:25,500 --> 01:22:25,720
it.

2351
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,020
It used to be like 56% Democrats,

2352
01:22:28,300 --> 01:22:29,680
40 something percent Republicans.

2353
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:34,160
Now it's like 48 Democrats, 47 Republicans.

2354
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:35,900
Still more Democrats than Republicans.

2355
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:37,260
But balanced.

2356
01:22:37,260 --> 01:22:39,280
And this seems to have people upset.

2357
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,300
Especially when it's brought up even on CNN.

2358
01:22:43,220 --> 01:22:47,220
But this is also where I just can't

2359
01:22:47,220 --> 01:22:49,780
help thinking about how the military has been

2360
01:22:49,780 --> 01:22:51,560
feeding certain women.

2361
01:22:51,700 --> 01:22:52,320
Who we know.

2362
01:22:52,860 --> 01:22:55,360
All this nonsense about the grids going down.

2363
01:22:55,460 --> 01:22:56,520
There won't be an election.

2364
01:22:56,860 --> 01:22:59,600
That propagates out through their social media accounts.

2365
01:22:59,780 --> 01:23:02,040
It just seems like one big experiment to

2366
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:02,280
me.

2367
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:04,440
It could be.

2368
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:06,640
And the Kony 2012 is the giveaway.

2369
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:09,620
The Kony 2012 is definitely part of it.

2370
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,680
Because that did trigger, it did show that

2371
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:14,600
something could, that you could make people.

2372
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:19,040
But then again, it had no fundamental, it

2373
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:20,640
made no fundamental change.

2374
01:23:20,700 --> 01:23:22,580
All it did was it got attention.

2375
01:23:23,660 --> 01:23:26,680
And people would propagate the nonsense that this

2376
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:30,360
guy was some sort of a screwball African

2377
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:32,880
guy that was using kids to shoot people.

2378
01:23:33,420 --> 01:23:35,080
And it was a big deal.

2379
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:35,960
You had to stop him.

2380
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,140
But there was no, it didn't make, it

2381
01:23:38,140 --> 01:23:39,840
didn't change anybody's vote.

2382
01:23:39,980 --> 01:23:41,460
It didn't make you want to do something,

2383
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:42,980
didn't make you want to buy something.

2384
01:23:43,480 --> 01:23:46,200
The whole thing was just, it was almost

2385
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:49,160
like a wheel spinning experiment to see if

2386
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,820
you could get people to screech their tires.

2387
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:54,180
It didn't really accomplish anything that I can

2388
01:23:54,180 --> 01:23:54,560
think of.

2389
01:23:54,580 --> 01:23:57,380
I think it was just to see how

2390
01:23:57,380 --> 01:24:00,100
a video going viral would get news.

2391
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:02,220
I just pulled this just out of the

2392
01:24:02,220 --> 01:24:02,460
hat.

2393
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:04,180
Kony 2012, CBS.

2394
01:24:04,180 --> 01:24:06,620
The head of the U.S. Africa command

2395
01:24:06,620 --> 01:24:09,800
says the five year hunt for warlord Joseph

2396
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:11,300
Kony is ending.

2397
01:24:11,780 --> 01:24:15,200
Kony and his militia have terrorized Central Africa

2398
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:15,580
for decades.

2399
01:24:15,820 --> 01:24:18,220
Now, I'm looking for the, for like the

2400
01:24:18,220 --> 01:24:20,580
big, oh Clooney was involved in that.

2401
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:21,320
You remember that?

2402
01:24:22,380 --> 01:24:23,390
Clooney got involved.

2403
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:28,680
I want, I'd like indicted war criminals to

2404
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,380
enjoy the same level of celebrity as me.

2405
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:33,340
Yeah, and then we had Rihanna.

2406
01:24:33,340 --> 01:24:36,620
And for, to get the youth involved with

2407
01:24:36,620 --> 01:24:37,400
something like that.

2408
01:24:37,740 --> 01:24:38,600
Angelina Jolie.

2409
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:40,360
I don't think I know anybody that doesn't

2410
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:41,060
hate Joseph Kony.

2411
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:43,340
And anybody who works in the international field

2412
01:24:43,340 --> 01:24:43,840
has been aware.

2413
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:45,940
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a whole group

2414
01:24:45,940 --> 01:24:46,220
of them.

2415
01:24:46,340 --> 01:24:47,500
But it was, the whole point was to

2416
01:24:47,500 --> 01:24:49,300
get attention for something that didn't matter.

2417
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:52,560
So anyway, be on the lookout people.

2418
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,100
But Clooney's an interesting case.

2419
01:24:56,220 --> 01:24:58,400
You know, Clooney is the executive producer of

2420
01:24:58,400 --> 01:24:59,980
this new show, The Agency.

2421
01:25:00,480 --> 01:25:00,920
Oh.

2422
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:03,060
Oh, I haven't seen that yet.

2423
01:25:03,180 --> 01:25:03,680
Have you seen it?

2424
01:25:03,700 --> 01:25:04,900
Oh, you'll want to see it.

2425
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:06,800
It's a, it's a, I don't think that

2426
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:08,600
everyone's going to like this show.

2427
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:09,640
It's a spook show.

2428
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:14,920
And it reveals some, maybe it reveals some

2429
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,280
tradecraft that's interesting.

2430
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,300
But Clooney is the guy behind it.

2431
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:21,800
It's actually a stolen show.

2432
01:25:21,980 --> 01:25:26,220
The show was taken from a show in

2433
01:25:26,220 --> 01:25:28,340
France that went for five seasons called Le

2434
01:25:28,340 --> 01:25:29,340
Bureau de l'Agent.

2435
01:25:29,340 --> 01:25:29,540
Oh.

2436
01:25:30,220 --> 01:25:34,160
And that show, I ended up watching The

2437
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:37,860
Agency, and then I watched the French show,

2438
01:25:38,300 --> 01:25:39,900
one episode.

2439
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,220
It's almost a scene-by-scene lift.

2440
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:43,800
Yeah.

2441
01:25:44,540 --> 01:25:47,060
Every single scene, except a couple of changes

2442
01:25:47,060 --> 01:25:48,440
were made to the American show.

2443
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:52,340
For example, the spy who's played by Michael

2444
01:25:52,340 --> 01:25:54,780
Fassbender, who's quite good.

2445
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:58,420
The French version of it, the guy was

2446
01:25:58,420 --> 01:26:02,040
in Syria, and he had to break off

2447
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:03,540
with this relationship, so he had to move

2448
01:26:03,540 --> 01:26:04,680
back to Langley.

2449
01:26:06,180 --> 01:26:07,680
The French one, of course, is for the

2450
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:08,900
French intelligence.

2451
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:15,040
The girl was a pretty Syrian girl, white.

2452
01:26:15,740 --> 01:26:18,200
The American version, the woman is a black

2453
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:19,660
girl, so it has to be African.

2454
01:26:19,900 --> 01:26:20,580
Of course.

2455
01:26:20,740 --> 01:26:21,020
Of course.

2456
01:26:21,020 --> 01:26:22,280
So you had to make, you had to

2457
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:22,380
do that.

2458
01:26:22,380 --> 01:26:22,780
Gotta do that.

2459
01:26:23,500 --> 01:26:25,540
Those kinds of changes are throughout.

2460
01:26:25,740 --> 01:26:27,680
I'm surprised Lizzie Jones wasn't up for the

2461
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:27,900
role.

2462
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:28,920
She would have been perfect.

2463
01:26:30,060 --> 01:26:32,960
So there's nomenclature changes and some other things,

2464
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:34,780
but the script is almost word-for-word

2465
01:26:34,780 --> 01:26:35,820
and scene-by-scene.

2466
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:40,160
I called Brunetti about this thing.

2467
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:42,140
This is like plagiarism as far as I'm

2468
01:26:42,140 --> 01:26:42,500
concerned.

2469
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:46,360
And he said, in Hollywood, he says, you

2470
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,020
bring in the same team that did the

2471
01:26:49,020 --> 01:26:51,540
original show as part of the…

2472
01:26:51,540 --> 01:26:53,000
Oh, so they get paid.

2473
01:26:53,140 --> 01:26:53,780
So they get paid.

2474
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:55,660
So they get their money, and they also,

2475
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,360
they can't sue for plagiarism because they're suing

2476
01:26:58,360 --> 01:26:58,940
themselves.

2477
01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:02,160
And he says, and I said, then I

2478
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:04,980
said to him, I said, well, you know,

2479
01:27:05,660 --> 01:27:08,760
it's like this, the dialogue is like, the

2480
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:11,680
writers just took the French and made it

2481
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:11,960
English.

2482
01:27:12,100 --> 01:27:14,020
It was the same, everything's the same shot

2483
01:27:14,020 --> 01:27:14,780
by shot.

2484
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:18,420
And he says, yeah, he says, writers are

2485
01:27:18,420 --> 01:27:18,860
lazy.

2486
01:27:18,860 --> 01:27:22,800
If you can do that, yeah, that's what

2487
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:23,320
you do.

2488
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:25,780
He says, why fix something that's not broken?

2489
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:28,000
He's just a Hollywood guy.

2490
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:29,600
He also has some comments about our show.

2491
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:31,680
He wants to make a change, which we'll

2492
01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:34,220
discuss after the show.

2493
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:36,680
Oh, really?

2494
01:27:36,820 --> 01:27:38,900
We're going to take advice from Hollywood now?

2495
01:27:39,540 --> 01:27:41,080
Well, we took advice on one of the

2496
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:41,760
things that he wants.

2497
01:27:42,440 --> 01:27:43,500
We'll talk about it.

2498
01:27:43,620 --> 01:27:45,200
I can't wait to hear this.

2499
01:27:45,540 --> 01:27:45,960
Oh, yeah.

2500
01:27:46,380 --> 01:27:48,260
I'm surprised he already hasn't called you because

2501
01:27:48,260 --> 01:27:49,280
he likes the back channel.

2502
01:27:49,480 --> 01:27:49,600
Oh, yeah.

2503
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:50,840
That's the Hollywood way, man.

2504
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:52,380
We know how those guys operate.

2505
01:27:52,380 --> 01:27:52,480
Yeah, he's good.

2506
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:54,280
Hey, man, how you doing?

2507
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:54,840
How you doing?

2508
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:58,080
So if you want to watch The Bureau,

2509
01:27:58,480 --> 01:27:59,400
you can get that.

2510
01:27:59,460 --> 01:28:00,720
I think it was on Netflix, and I

2511
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:01,860
think it's around here and there.

2512
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:03,840
You can pick it up and see what

2513
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:04,540
the show's about.

2514
01:28:04,700 --> 01:28:07,080
But the American version is only released two,

2515
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:09,660
and it's really, I think it's a good

2516
01:28:09,660 --> 01:28:10,500
spook show.

2517
01:28:10,780 --> 01:28:13,360
It's creepy, and it's got all the elements

2518
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:14,080
you want.

2519
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:16,620
It's a little, I think, for the general

2520
01:28:16,620 --> 01:28:18,220
public, it's a little slow moving.

2521
01:28:19,700 --> 01:28:22,440
Anyway, when it comes to Clooney.

2522
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:27,080
George Clooney, George Clooney, George Clooney is a

2523
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:27,520
spy.

2524
01:28:28,500 --> 01:28:32,800
And I'm not implementing any of Brunetti's ideas

2525
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:34,180
until he gives you a bit part in

2526
01:28:34,180 --> 01:28:34,560
something.

2527
01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:39,780
He says he's never going to do another

2528
01:28:39,780 --> 01:28:40,260
film.

2529
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:41,980
Oh, okay.

2530
01:28:42,300 --> 01:28:43,520
All right, can we write that down?

2531
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:44,640
Can we write that down?

2532
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:46,340
December 5th, 2024.

2533
01:28:47,060 --> 01:28:48,960
Happy Sinterklaas, by the way, to our Dutch

2534
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:50,180
audience.

2535
01:28:51,020 --> 01:28:51,900
Is today the day?

2536
01:28:52,020 --> 01:28:53,100
Yeah, today's the day.

2537
01:28:53,180 --> 01:28:54,880
He comes and puts something in the little

2538
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:57,580
kid's wooden shoes with his black peat.

2539
01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:01,040
I didn't hear much controversy this year about

2540
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:01,660
the black peat.

2541
01:29:02,140 --> 01:29:04,120
They probably have rainbow peats now, so there's

2542
01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:05,080
no more black peats.

2543
01:29:07,670 --> 01:29:08,930
Oh, you should look into that.

2544
01:29:08,930 --> 01:29:12,010
Every year, for the last decade, we've been

2545
01:29:12,010 --> 01:29:15,790
bitching and moaning about this black peat character.

2546
01:29:16,170 --> 01:29:18,070
They achieved the objective.

2547
01:29:18,210 --> 01:29:20,850
The objective was for the Dutch to admit

2548
01:29:20,850 --> 01:29:23,710
that they're a bunch of racist slaveholders and

2549
01:29:23,710 --> 01:29:25,070
slave transporters.

2550
01:29:25,630 --> 01:29:28,210
And they gave all this money to Suriname

2551
01:29:28,210 --> 01:29:30,390
and Indonesia and opened up a museum.

2552
01:29:30,530 --> 01:29:31,010
They buckled.

2553
01:29:31,270 --> 01:29:31,910
They buckled.

2554
01:29:32,030 --> 01:29:32,870
So they got paid.

2555
01:29:33,370 --> 01:29:34,590
And then all of a sudden, oh, it

2556
01:29:34,590 --> 01:29:34,970
stops.

2557
01:29:35,870 --> 01:29:37,090
That was the whole point.

2558
01:29:37,090 --> 01:29:39,150
Remember there was that United Nations lady who

2559
01:29:39,150 --> 01:29:40,370
was leading that every year?

2560
01:29:40,970 --> 01:29:42,230
I don't know if you remember that.

2561
01:29:42,530 --> 01:29:43,150
No, I don't.

2562
01:29:43,210 --> 01:29:44,930
Yeah, it was a pressure campaign.

2563
01:29:45,150 --> 01:29:46,170
And they buckled, of course.

2564
01:29:46,410 --> 01:29:47,230
Yeah, it was for money.

2565
01:29:47,410 --> 01:29:48,170
Yeah, here's my bike.

2566
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:48,670
Whatever.

2567
01:29:49,350 --> 01:29:49,890
Take my bike.

2568
01:29:50,010 --> 01:29:50,630
It's my bike.

2569
01:29:50,730 --> 01:29:51,330
Take my bike.

2570
01:29:53,270 --> 01:29:54,990
There's still a huge collection of them, I

2571
01:29:54,990 --> 01:29:55,450
guess, somewhere.

2572
01:29:55,850 --> 01:29:58,090
I do have one other thing, if you

2573
01:29:58,090 --> 01:30:01,030
want to hear something about Trump.

2574
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:03,190
Well, first of all, I'm sure you heard

2575
01:30:03,190 --> 01:30:06,930
about Trump's threat to BRICS, which I have

2576
01:30:06,930 --> 01:30:08,130
a short clip here.

2577
01:30:08,370 --> 01:30:10,610
Donald Trump is threatening to impose tariffs on

2578
01:30:10,610 --> 01:30:12,450
so-called BRICS nations.

2579
01:30:12,650 --> 01:30:13,750
What's he actually said there?

2580
01:30:14,190 --> 01:30:16,430
Yeah, over the weekend, he said that those

2581
01:30:16,430 --> 01:30:20,510
nations would face 100% tariffs if they

2582
01:30:20,510 --> 01:30:24,110
pushed ahead with plans that have been floated,

2583
01:30:24,630 --> 01:30:28,130
that perhaps those nations should become less reliant

2584
01:30:28,130 --> 01:30:30,330
in global trade on the US dollar.

2585
01:30:30,330 --> 01:30:34,350
Now, those nations include very strong trading partners

2586
01:30:34,350 --> 01:30:35,030
with the US.

2587
01:30:35,350 --> 01:30:39,810
It's Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

2588
01:30:39,990 --> 01:30:41,350
And Donald Trump is saying he wants a

2589
01:30:41,350 --> 01:30:44,610
commitment from the BRICS nations that they have

2590
01:30:44,610 --> 01:30:48,810
no intention of launching their own currency or

2591
01:30:48,810 --> 01:30:52,690
of becoming less reliant on the US dollar.

2592
01:30:53,210 --> 01:30:56,250
So Trump is obviously on the warpath, and

2593
01:30:56,250 --> 01:30:58,130
he wants everybody to use dollars.

2594
01:30:58,130 --> 01:31:00,930
And I've been trying to figure out when

2595
01:31:00,930 --> 01:31:03,590
he said, you know, Bitcoin is like the

2596
01:31:03,590 --> 01:31:04,170
new oil.

2597
01:31:04,410 --> 01:31:07,850
And he said that at Bitcoin 2024.

2598
01:31:08,550 --> 01:31:10,310
And, you know, he's all in on crypto,

2599
01:31:10,310 --> 01:31:13,090
and he's going to make the Bitcoin strategic

2600
01:31:13,090 --> 01:31:13,570
reserve.

2601
01:31:13,950 --> 01:31:15,610
And of course, he was out there going,

2602
01:31:15,730 --> 01:31:17,010
hey, you like your Bitcoin now?

2603
01:31:17,110 --> 01:31:18,950
As it broke $100,000 of Bitcoin.

2604
01:31:19,270 --> 01:31:23,150
I found this interview from this guy, Luke

2605
01:31:23,150 --> 01:31:23,610
Groman.

2606
01:31:23,830 --> 01:31:25,970
He's been on CNBC, and he's around.

2607
01:31:25,970 --> 01:31:28,470
He's one of these financial guys.

2608
01:31:28,710 --> 01:31:31,370
He has FFTT or whatever his outfit is

2609
01:31:31,370 --> 01:31:31,650
called.

2610
01:31:32,210 --> 01:31:34,190
And he had a really quite an interesting

2611
01:31:34,190 --> 01:31:36,210
take on why Trump said that.

2612
01:31:36,590 --> 01:31:37,850
Because I've been trying to figure out the

2613
01:31:37,850 --> 01:31:39,830
stable coins, how that works with the T

2614
01:31:39,830 --> 01:31:40,710
-bills and everything.

2615
01:31:41,650 --> 01:31:43,410
Because Trump is not just going to say,

2616
01:31:43,510 --> 01:31:47,010
oh, Bitcoin's great, because arguably it would be

2617
01:31:47,010 --> 01:31:48,030
bad for the dollar.

2618
01:31:48,270 --> 01:31:50,010
And it didn't make a lot of sense.

2619
01:31:50,450 --> 01:31:52,450
But he's a macro guy, and I think

2620
01:31:52,450 --> 01:31:54,190
he might be on to something.

2621
01:31:54,190 --> 01:31:54,850
Listen to this.

2622
01:31:55,110 --> 01:31:57,390
I got this from Jupiter Broadcasting, my buddy

2623
01:31:57,390 --> 01:31:59,070
Chris over there who found this interview.

2624
01:31:59,390 --> 01:32:01,830
What I laid out for clients three weeks

2625
01:32:01,830 --> 01:32:04,710
ago was sort of a thought process, is

2626
01:32:04,710 --> 01:32:06,190
how I started to think about it.

2627
01:32:06,210 --> 01:32:07,350
It changed the way I was thinking about

2628
01:32:07,350 --> 01:32:09,750
this Bitcoin is the new oil comment from

2629
01:32:09,750 --> 01:32:13,070
Trump, which is if we go back in

2630
01:32:13,070 --> 01:32:18,930
time to late 73, early 74, oil rose

2631
01:32:18,930 --> 01:32:22,330
in price by 400 percent from October 73

2632
01:32:22,330 --> 01:32:23,450
to April 74.

2633
01:32:25,230 --> 01:32:28,950
And there is an interview that was given

2634
01:32:28,950 --> 01:32:32,170
on CNN International by the former Saudi oil

2635
01:32:32,170 --> 01:32:35,490
minister, Sheikh Yamani, in 2010, in which he

2636
01:32:35,490 --> 01:32:38,770
said there was a meeting, a Bilderberg group

2637
01:32:38,770 --> 01:32:42,270
at this Swedish island in late 73, October

2638
01:32:42,270 --> 01:32:42,770
73.

2639
01:32:43,410 --> 01:32:45,610
Henry Kissinger attended and said, look, the price

2640
01:32:45,610 --> 01:32:47,030
of oil is going up 400 percent.

2641
01:32:47,390 --> 01:32:48,230
Get on board.

2642
01:32:49,410 --> 01:32:50,950
And it happened.

2643
01:32:51,070 --> 01:32:52,310
And again, these are not my words.

2644
01:32:52,330 --> 01:32:54,310
These are the words of the former Saudi

2645
01:32:54,310 --> 01:32:56,990
oil minister on CNN 14 years ago.

2646
01:32:58,670 --> 01:33:00,030
He highlighted that.

2647
01:33:00,270 --> 01:33:02,130
And the point of the U.S. doing

2648
01:33:02,130 --> 01:33:05,430
that was essentially to make the oil market

2649
01:33:05,430 --> 01:33:09,530
big enough to back U.S. deficits, to

2650
01:33:09,530 --> 01:33:13,170
basically recycle the flows back into U.S.

2651
01:33:13,250 --> 01:33:15,930
debt, to basically fix the U.S. fiscal

2652
01:33:15,930 --> 01:33:17,310
problem post Vietnam War.

2653
01:33:17,390 --> 01:33:18,770
And after we left the gold standard, it

2654
01:33:18,770 --> 01:33:20,390
basically put us on an oil standard of

2655
01:33:20,390 --> 01:33:20,630
sorts.

2656
01:33:21,550 --> 01:33:22,390
Does that sound right to you?

2657
01:33:22,390 --> 01:33:23,770
Because I don't know the history of that.

2658
01:33:23,770 --> 01:33:26,750
Does that does that jive with what you

2659
01:33:26,750 --> 01:33:27,210
know?

2660
01:33:27,350 --> 01:33:30,110
I can't say I don't know for sure,

2661
01:33:30,310 --> 01:33:30,910
but it doesn't.

2662
01:33:31,310 --> 01:33:33,510
There's nothing you said that doesn't make sense.

2663
01:33:33,710 --> 01:33:36,270
So here's here's how he connects it to

2664
01:33:36,270 --> 01:33:39,130
Bitcoin being the new oil with the stable

2665
01:33:39,130 --> 01:33:39,530
coins.

2666
01:33:39,610 --> 01:33:42,330
Remember, Trump said, I love your Bitcoin and

2667
01:33:42,330 --> 01:33:44,390
your stable coins and all the Bitcoin people

2668
01:33:44,390 --> 01:33:45,530
like, what are you talking about?

2669
01:33:45,570 --> 01:33:46,970
You know, stable coins.

2670
01:33:46,970 --> 01:33:50,170
And when I thought back to that interview

2671
01:33:50,170 --> 01:33:53,690
by Sheikh Yamani in light of the Treasury

2672
01:33:53,690 --> 01:33:55,950
report, which was really the catalyst for the

2673
01:33:55,950 --> 01:33:57,870
rethink and then the Paul Ryan point and

2674
01:33:57,870 --> 01:33:59,770
then Trump's point, you know, in August where

2675
01:33:59,770 --> 01:34:01,210
he said, hey, maybe we'll just you know,

2676
01:34:01,250 --> 01:34:02,550
maybe we'll just, you know, pay off our

2677
01:34:02,550 --> 01:34:04,070
debt with a little Bitcoin, which was a

2678
01:34:04,070 --> 01:34:05,990
really odd comment.

2679
01:34:06,570 --> 01:34:10,630
I started to wonder if Bitcoin is the

2680
01:34:10,630 --> 01:34:13,790
new oil, that it's not that it is.

2681
01:34:14,250 --> 01:34:17,870
Bitcoin is going to be inflated like oil

2682
01:34:17,870 --> 01:34:23,470
was so that it will inflate stable coins

2683
01:34:23,470 --> 01:34:27,050
so that stable coins will buy a lot

2684
01:34:27,050 --> 01:34:27,930
more Treasury.

2685
01:34:27,930 --> 01:34:31,310
Basically, Bitcoin going much, much higher.

2686
01:34:32,370 --> 01:34:35,650
This Treasury report showed that stable coin demand

2687
01:34:35,650 --> 01:34:36,850
for T-bills would soar.

2688
01:34:37,350 --> 01:34:39,350
Because all those stable coins are backed by

2689
01:34:39,350 --> 01:34:42,050
some Bitcoin, but mainly by Treasuries.

2690
01:34:42,290 --> 01:34:44,110
We need a way to weaken the dollar

2691
01:34:44,110 --> 01:34:47,570
while strengthening the dollar system.

2692
01:34:48,590 --> 01:34:49,630
And you look at this and you go,

2693
01:34:49,810 --> 01:34:52,450
gosh, this checks all the boxes.

2694
01:34:52,810 --> 01:34:54,950
If we inflate the heck out of Bitcoin,

2695
01:34:55,470 --> 01:34:57,750
you're going to increase stable coins.

2696
01:34:57,750 --> 01:34:59,410
You can increase stable coin demand for T

2697
01:34:59,410 --> 01:34:59,770
-bills.

2698
01:35:00,790 --> 01:35:02,910
What that will do, because Bitcoin is a

2699
01:35:02,910 --> 01:35:06,290
global asset, is it will draw in dollars

2700
01:35:06,290 --> 01:35:09,990
from around the world into T-bills, into

2701
01:35:09,990 --> 01:35:10,910
stable coins.

2702
01:35:11,850 --> 01:35:14,130
But at the same time, the dollar will

2703
01:35:14,130 --> 01:35:15,930
be collapsing against Bitcoin.

2704
01:35:16,530 --> 01:35:18,330
That's what I think Trump may have meant

2705
01:35:18,330 --> 01:35:19,830
by Bitcoin is the new oil.

2706
01:35:20,670 --> 01:35:23,870
I just thought it was like, hey, someone

2707
01:35:23,870 --> 01:35:25,430
hears my stable coin argument.

2708
01:35:25,430 --> 01:35:27,590
I don't know if this sounds right.

2709
01:35:27,790 --> 01:35:29,050
Sounds like a huge bubble.

2710
01:35:30,150 --> 01:35:31,970
It does sound like a bubble, but it

2711
01:35:31,970 --> 01:35:34,470
doesn't mean it's not something that would happen.

2712
01:35:34,770 --> 01:35:36,550
Yeah, I just thought it was really interesting.

2713
01:35:38,750 --> 01:35:42,190
Well, you know, Trump, he's got a bunch

2714
01:35:42,190 --> 01:35:43,850
of screwy financial guys around.

2715
01:35:44,130 --> 01:35:46,990
Remember, what was his name, Munchkin?

2716
01:35:47,170 --> 01:35:48,810
Oh, yeah, Mnuchin.

2717
01:35:49,050 --> 01:35:50,130
Mnuchin, that guy.

2718
01:35:50,390 --> 01:35:52,670
My fellow Tourette sufferer, Mnuchin.

2719
01:35:52,910 --> 01:35:53,650
Yeah, that guy.

2720
01:35:54,670 --> 01:35:58,490
And it's possible they've dreamed some scheme up

2721
01:35:58,490 --> 01:36:01,190
to, because our debt is ridiculous.

2722
01:36:02,410 --> 01:36:03,010
Yeah.

2723
01:36:03,530 --> 01:36:05,850
That's why we have the auctioneer in office.

2724
01:36:08,010 --> 01:36:10,550
Yeah, our debt seems to be a bit

2725
01:36:10,550 --> 01:36:10,810
of a problem.

2726
01:36:10,910 --> 01:36:13,930
He's got to refi the country somehow with

2727
01:36:13,930 --> 01:36:14,950
your stable coins.

2728
01:36:15,170 --> 01:36:16,610
I don't know, but I don't know.

2729
01:36:18,170 --> 01:36:20,270
It'll be interesting to see what happens.

2730
01:36:20,270 --> 01:36:24,210
But everything's happening on January 21st, January 21st,

2731
01:36:24,230 --> 01:36:24,990
Jan 21st.

2732
01:36:25,010 --> 01:36:25,910
Everything's going down.

2733
01:36:26,070 --> 01:36:28,590
We both had the clip, but I didn't

2734
01:36:28,590 --> 01:36:30,750
even clip it because I saw it was

2735
01:36:30,750 --> 01:36:31,290
in your list.

2736
01:36:31,410 --> 01:36:32,370
Where is it?

2737
01:36:32,910 --> 01:36:33,270
HOTEP?

2738
01:36:34,390 --> 01:36:37,430
Yeah, HOTEP comes on the Nicole Wallace show.

2739
01:36:37,870 --> 01:36:41,210
And before we play that clip, well, actually,

2740
01:36:41,290 --> 01:36:42,690
I have a couple of clips to play

2741
01:36:42,690 --> 01:36:44,110
if you're going to bring him in.

2742
01:36:44,210 --> 01:36:44,510
All right.

2743
01:36:44,930 --> 01:36:47,450
But first of all, before we play it,

2744
01:36:47,490 --> 01:36:48,710
there's a clip from the last show.

2745
01:36:48,710 --> 01:36:49,950
I don't have it on this list, but

2746
01:36:49,950 --> 01:36:51,070
you can look it up real quick.

2747
01:36:51,150 --> 01:36:57,650
It's called, it's called Get Boosted, an NPR

2748
01:36:57,650 --> 01:36:57,890
message.

2749
01:36:58,550 --> 01:36:58,950
Here we go.

2750
01:36:59,110 --> 01:37:01,450
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says

2751
01:37:01,450 --> 01:37:03,990
few people have been vaccinated against flu or

2752
01:37:03,990 --> 01:37:07,110
COVID-19 as the holiday season approaches.

2753
01:37:07,570 --> 01:37:09,050
If here's Rob Stein has more.

2754
01:37:09,370 --> 01:37:11,870
The CDC says only about one third of

2755
01:37:11,870 --> 01:37:14,130
adults have gotten this year's flu shot and

2756
01:37:14,130 --> 01:37:15,930
less than 18 percent have gotten one of

2757
01:37:15,930 --> 01:37:16,930
the new COVID boosters.

2758
01:37:16,930 --> 01:37:20,450
As for the new RSV vaccine, only 40

2759
01:37:20,450 --> 01:37:22,990
percent of adults ages 75 and older have

2760
01:37:22,990 --> 01:37:24,590
gotten that recommended shot.

2761
01:37:24,850 --> 01:37:27,110
There isn't a lot of flu or RSV

2762
01:37:27,110 --> 01:37:29,370
right now, and the COVID numbers are still

2763
01:37:29,370 --> 01:37:31,590
falling from this summer's big surge.

2764
01:37:31,910 --> 01:37:34,470
But all those viruses could pick up quickly

2765
01:37:34,470 --> 01:37:36,810
as people start to travel and gather for

2766
01:37:36,810 --> 01:37:39,150
Thanksgiving in the winter holidays.

2767
01:37:39,370 --> 01:37:41,250
So it can pick up, can pick up

2768
01:37:41,250 --> 01:37:41,730
an uptick.

2769
01:37:44,470 --> 01:37:46,650
So if you didn't like that, then you

2770
01:37:46,650 --> 01:37:49,510
could listen to Peter Hotez here on Nicole

2771
01:37:49,510 --> 01:37:50,030
Wallace.

2772
01:37:50,870 --> 01:37:51,710
Hold on a second.

2773
01:37:51,930 --> 01:37:52,310
What's it?

2774
01:37:52,370 --> 01:37:53,250
I'm looking for it now.

2775
01:37:53,750 --> 01:37:54,470
That's the one you just.

2776
01:37:54,570 --> 01:37:56,610
I know, I know, but I can't find

2777
01:37:56,610 --> 01:37:57,130
it in your list.

2778
01:37:57,230 --> 01:37:58,830
I'm looking for Hotez and I don't see

2779
01:37:58,830 --> 01:37:59,670
him for some reason.

2780
01:38:00,290 --> 01:38:00,610
Yeah.

2781
01:38:00,870 --> 01:38:01,570
Hold on a second.

2782
01:38:01,950 --> 01:38:02,610
It's all caps.

2783
01:38:02,870 --> 01:38:03,690
That's Hotez.

2784
01:38:03,770 --> 01:38:04,750
Yeah, I know.

2785
01:38:06,630 --> 01:38:08,910
It's in the pile one, bottom of pile

2786
01:38:08,910 --> 01:38:09,270
one.

2787
01:38:10,150 --> 01:38:11,090
Oh, this is very interesting.

2788
01:38:11,250 --> 01:38:12,810
I don't think I, how did I not

2789
01:38:12,810 --> 01:38:13,410
get this?

2790
01:38:14,050 --> 01:38:15,090
Hold on a second, John.

2791
01:38:15,190 --> 01:38:16,750
Something went very wrong here.

2792
01:38:18,850 --> 01:38:20,450
Did I miss some of your clips somehow?

2793
01:38:21,790 --> 01:38:22,690
Hold on a second.

2794
01:38:24,870 --> 01:38:26,310
We'll have to cut this part out because

2795
01:38:26,310 --> 01:38:27,290
this is very unprofessional.

2796
01:38:27,750 --> 01:38:29,410
I set you up and then I screwed

2797
01:38:29,410 --> 01:38:29,890
it over.

2798
01:38:31,690 --> 01:38:32,530
Where's Hotez?

2799
01:38:32,590 --> 01:38:33,870
I'm looking in pile one.

2800
01:38:35,030 --> 01:38:35,190
No.

2801
01:38:35,290 --> 01:38:35,490
Oh.

2802
01:38:35,970 --> 01:38:36,190
Huh.

2803
01:38:37,630 --> 01:38:39,530
It says Hotez in all caps, but it

2804
01:38:39,530 --> 01:38:40,870
didn't download for some reason.

2805
01:38:42,450 --> 01:38:43,810
I'm very sorry about this.

2806
01:38:44,030 --> 01:38:44,230
Okay.

2807
01:38:45,290 --> 01:38:45,870
All right.

2808
01:38:46,590 --> 01:38:49,650
Just when you thought it wouldn't happen, here

2809
01:38:49,650 --> 01:38:51,950
is Hotez.

2810
01:38:52,610 --> 01:38:54,310
Here's the reason why we need to care

2811
01:38:54,310 --> 01:38:55,110
about this stuff.

2812
01:38:55,730 --> 01:38:58,370
Nicole is that we have some big picture

2813
01:38:58,370 --> 01:39:01,370
stuff coming down the pike starting on January

2814
01:39:01,370 --> 01:39:01,870
21st.

2815
01:39:02,590 --> 01:39:04,950
Mr. Bloomberg mentioned H5N1.

2816
01:39:04,950 --> 01:39:05,290
Hold on.

2817
01:39:05,410 --> 01:39:05,710
Stop.

2818
01:39:07,990 --> 01:39:08,950
I want you to listen.

2819
01:39:09,070 --> 01:39:11,550
Everyone should listen to this carefully because there's

2820
01:39:11,550 --> 01:39:15,270
no problem with any diseases whatsoever until Trump

2821
01:39:15,270 --> 01:39:16,150
gets in office.

2822
01:39:16,350 --> 01:39:16,630
No, no.

2823
01:39:16,650 --> 01:39:18,450
January 21st specifically.

2824
01:39:18,990 --> 01:39:20,030
He's pinpointing it.

2825
01:39:20,190 --> 01:39:21,550
January 21st.

2826
01:39:22,030 --> 01:39:24,610
Yeah, that's when the shit hits the fan.

2827
01:39:24,750 --> 01:39:25,050
Here we go.

2828
01:39:25,290 --> 01:39:27,550
Nicole is that we have some big picture

2829
01:39:27,550 --> 01:39:30,570
stuff coming down the pike starting on January

2830
01:39:30,570 --> 01:39:31,630
21st.

2831
01:39:31,830 --> 01:39:33,690
Mr. Bloomberg mentioned H5N1.

2832
01:39:33,690 --> 01:39:35,670
What does he mean by big picture stuff?

2833
01:39:35,790 --> 01:39:36,790
What does that even mean?

2834
01:39:37,390 --> 01:39:39,850
Disease, famine, pestilence.

2835
01:39:40,290 --> 01:39:43,110
On the pike starting on January 21st.

2836
01:39:43,110 --> 01:39:45,110
Mr. Bloomberg mentioned H5N1.

2837
01:39:45,870 --> 01:39:47,470
That I'm really worried about.

2838
01:39:47,570 --> 01:39:51,030
It's all over wild birds on the western

2839
01:39:51,030 --> 01:39:52,190
part of the United States.

2840
01:39:52,270 --> 01:39:53,590
And going up in the north, it's getting

2841
01:39:53,590 --> 01:39:54,450
into the poultry.

2842
01:39:54,770 --> 01:39:57,090
We're seeing sporadic human cases.

2843
01:39:57,090 --> 01:39:58,990
No human to human transmission yet.

2844
01:39:59,330 --> 01:40:00,250
But that could happen.

2845
01:40:00,390 --> 01:40:01,030
It's in the cattle.

2846
01:40:01,210 --> 01:40:01,830
It's in the milk.

2847
01:40:02,270 --> 01:40:03,190
And that's just the beginning.

2848
01:40:03,430 --> 01:40:06,750
We have another major coronavirus likely brewing in

2849
01:40:06,750 --> 01:40:07,050
Asia.

2850
01:40:07,150 --> 01:40:08,830
We've had SARS in 2002.

2851
01:40:09,610 --> 01:40:11,610
SARS-CoV-19 in 2019.

2852
01:40:11,610 --> 01:40:14,530
And we know these viruses are jumping from

2853
01:40:14,530 --> 01:40:16,890
bats to people thousands of times a year.

2854
01:40:16,970 --> 01:40:18,670
But that's still...

2855
01:40:18,670 --> 01:40:19,370
Hold on a second.

2856
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:23,920
I've not heard that this is jumping from

2857
01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:26,500
bats to people thousands of times a year.

2858
01:40:27,140 --> 01:40:27,500
Yeah.

2859
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:28,120
Yeah.

2860
01:40:28,700 --> 01:40:29,960
This is new.

2861
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:30,640
2019.

2862
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:33,560
And we know these viruses are jumping from

2863
01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:35,840
bats to people thousands of times a year.

2864
01:40:35,980 --> 01:40:37,620
But there's still more.

2865
01:40:37,620 --> 01:40:40,700
We know that we have a big problem

2866
01:40:40,700 --> 01:40:43,580
with mosquito-transmitted viruses all along the Gulf

2867
01:40:43,580 --> 01:40:45,240
Coast, where I am here in Texas.

2868
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:49,760
We're expecting dengue and possibly Zika virus coming

2869
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:50,060
back.

2870
01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:51,120
Or a Puche virus.

2871
01:40:51,420 --> 01:40:51,740
Puche.

2872
01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:52,700
Maybe even yellow fever.

2873
01:40:53,100 --> 01:40:53,740
And there's more.

2874
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:55,860
Then we have all this sharp rise in

2875
01:40:55,860 --> 01:40:59,380
vaccine-preventable diseases going up because of, in

2876
01:40:59,380 --> 01:41:02,420
part, the anti-vaccine activism that's so prominent

2877
01:41:02,420 --> 01:41:03,000
right now.

2878
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:05,280
We have a five-fold rise in pertussis

2879
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:07,900
cases, whooping cough over the last year, 15

2880
01:41:07,900 --> 01:41:09,160
measles outbreaks this year.

2881
01:41:09,220 --> 01:41:11,240
We've got polio that's been in the wastewater

2882
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:12,500
in New York State.

2883
01:41:13,060 --> 01:41:14,920
All that's going to come crashing down on

2884
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:17,740
January 21st on the Trump administration.

2885
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:20,220
We need a really, really good team to

2886
01:41:20,220 --> 01:41:21,220
be able to handle this.

2887
01:41:21,420 --> 01:41:23,240
And a partridge in a pear tree.

2888
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:25,780
It all starts on January 21st.

2889
01:41:25,860 --> 01:41:27,020
But not on the 20th.

2890
01:41:27,260 --> 01:41:27,860
No, no.

2891
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:29,840
On the 21st is when it all goes

2892
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:30,160
down.

2893
01:41:30,240 --> 01:41:31,600
What a lunatic this guy is.

2894
01:41:32,140 --> 01:41:32,580
Yeah.

2895
01:41:32,780 --> 01:41:34,660
Now, I have to play, that brings me

2896
01:41:34,660 --> 01:41:35,320
to the clips.

2897
01:41:35,700 --> 01:41:36,100
Okay.

2898
01:41:36,440 --> 01:41:37,860
Dr. Christina Park.

2899
01:41:38,080 --> 01:41:39,020
Ah, where's she from?

2900
01:41:39,020 --> 01:41:40,000
Now, these clips were dug up.

2901
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:43,360
These clips were dug up by one of

2902
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:47,120
our producers, and it was during a hearing

2903
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:49,900
in the Michigan House or Senate.

2904
01:41:49,980 --> 01:41:50,300
Oh, yes.

2905
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:51,180
This is very good.

2906
01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:52,080
This is very good.

2907
01:41:52,180 --> 01:41:52,480
Yes.

2908
01:41:52,580 --> 01:41:55,500
And she outlined, she's a PhD in virology.

2909
01:41:55,580 --> 01:41:56,720
She's got all these, I don't know if

2910
01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:57,460
she's a virologist.

2911
01:41:57,760 --> 01:41:59,580
This is classic C-SPAN material.

2912
01:42:00,140 --> 01:42:01,360
This is good stuff.

2913
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:01,580
Yeah.

2914
01:42:03,020 --> 01:42:05,820
And the reason this was sent to me,

2915
01:42:06,100 --> 01:42:09,500
and it's from 2021, it's during the lockdown

2916
01:42:09,500 --> 01:42:11,840
thing and all this that was going on,

2917
01:42:11,900 --> 01:42:13,820
and she was fighting against a lot of

2918
01:42:13,820 --> 01:42:14,160
this stuff.

2919
01:42:14,300 --> 01:42:16,260
And one of it, it was sent to

2920
01:42:16,260 --> 01:42:19,420
me because of this constant commentary about pertussis.

2921
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:20,260
And we brought it up.

2922
01:42:20,340 --> 01:42:21,320
What's pertussis, Brian?

2923
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:22,540
Why are they making a fuss?

2924
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:23,460
The whooping cough.

2925
01:42:23,740 --> 01:42:25,240
That's what pertussis is, right?

2926
01:42:25,540 --> 01:42:26,540
Yes, whooping cough.

2927
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,720
And so she has an explanation on pertussis,

2928
01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:31,120
and she goes on with other stuff.

2929
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:33,100
But the pertussis thing starts us off.

2930
01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:36,680
And this is like, oh, okay.

2931
01:42:36,860 --> 01:42:40,700
Well, now, after hearing Hotez going on about

2932
01:42:40,700 --> 01:42:43,220
pertussis, listen to this.

2933
01:42:43,480 --> 01:42:46,200
So let's look at DTaP, which the scientists

2934
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:49,760
and the CDC have known since 2014 that

2935
01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:52,760
the acellular pertussis vaccine does not prevent people

2936
01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:55,900
from getting infected with the pertussis bacteria and

2937
01:42:55,900 --> 01:42:56,920
passing it to others.

2938
01:42:57,220 --> 01:42:59,340
In fact, it was never designed to do

2939
01:42:59,340 --> 01:42:59,640
that.

2940
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,840
The vaccine was designed to neutralize the pertussis

2941
01:43:02,840 --> 01:43:03,400
toxin.

2942
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:05,640
Pertussis, we know it as whooping cough.

2943
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:07,660
It can be fatal for children under 6

2944
01:43:07,660 --> 01:43:08,020
months.

2945
01:43:08,380 --> 01:43:11,720
So neutralizing this toxin saves lives, all right?

2946
01:43:11,780 --> 01:43:13,040
I'm not going to debate that.

2947
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:16,100
But what it doesn't do is neutralize the

2948
01:43:16,100 --> 01:43:16,560
bacteria.

2949
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:20,100
So what happens is fully vaccinated children go

2950
01:43:20,100 --> 01:43:20,820
to daycare.

2951
01:43:21,060 --> 01:43:23,680
They pick up that bacteria, and they come

2952
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:25,360
home, and they give it to their newborn

2953
01:43:25,360 --> 01:43:26,620
brother or sister.

2954
01:43:26,620 --> 01:43:29,740
They get deathly ill, and they go to

2955
01:43:29,740 --> 01:43:30,260
the hospital.

2956
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:32,900
Hopefully, our medical professionals are able to save

2957
01:43:32,900 --> 01:43:33,280
them.

2958
01:43:33,860 --> 01:43:35,460
But who do they blame?

2959
01:43:35,900 --> 01:43:38,960
Now the CDC is blaming anti-vaxxers for

2960
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,240
the limitations of this vaccine design.

2961
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:44,160
I suggest that they be transparent and tell

2962
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:47,860
parents that although it is preventing severe disease

2963
01:43:47,860 --> 01:43:50,720
in their children, it is not preventing transmission.

2964
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:53,300
Because we have created a whole class of

2965
01:43:53,300 --> 01:43:57,360
asymptomatic pertussis carriers who are increasing the disease.

2966
01:43:57,580 --> 01:44:00,260
Now the old DTP vaccine that many of

2967
01:44:00,260 --> 01:44:01,920
you who are my age or older got

2968
01:44:01,920 --> 01:44:03,360
did prevent transmission.

2969
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:07,460
When we switched to the safer, acellular Virgin,

2970
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:09,600
they knew that it was never designed to

2971
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:10,700
prevent transmission.

2972
01:44:10,980 --> 01:44:11,560
It was safer.

2973
01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:13,480
It had less adverse events.

2974
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:17,320
But pertussis cases have gone through the roof.

2975
01:44:17,380 --> 01:44:19,940
There's a resurgence in pertussis because of the

2976
01:44:19,940 --> 01:44:21,360
design of the vaccine.

2977
01:44:21,660 --> 01:44:23,160
And the vaccinologists know this.

2978
01:44:23,380 --> 01:44:24,520
They're trying to address it.

2979
01:44:24,740 --> 01:44:26,880
And so we cannot mandate that something that

2980
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:28,540
does not prevent transmission.

2981
01:44:29,460 --> 01:44:30,600
Give her the hook.

2982
01:44:30,700 --> 01:44:31,420
Take her out.

2983
01:44:31,420 --> 01:44:32,820
Burn that witch.

2984
01:44:33,660 --> 01:44:36,200
I found this to be the most interesting

2985
01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:36,620
thing.

2986
01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:41,700
So basically guys like Hotez, they know this.

2987
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:43,960
They all know this.

2988
01:44:44,380 --> 01:44:45,640
That they changed the vaccine.

2989
01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:47,020
Because the one I had when I was

2990
01:44:47,020 --> 01:44:48,880
a kid was the old one, which I

2991
01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:49,860
guess was more dangerous.

2992
01:44:50,020 --> 01:44:52,960
But it prevented spread and catching it and

2993
01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:53,560
spreading it.

2994
01:44:54,180 --> 01:44:56,720
They know that this is going on.

2995
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:57,920
And they lie to the public.

2996
01:44:58,000 --> 01:44:59,860
And then they blame the anti-vaxxer.

2997
01:44:59,860 --> 01:45:03,480
He is in fact a childhood vaccine expert.

2998
01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:05,540
This is a childhood vaccine.

2999
01:45:05,820 --> 01:45:06,920
Children under seven.

3000
01:45:07,020 --> 01:45:09,000
I think some kids, don't they get it

3001
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:09,880
like right away?

3002
01:45:10,440 --> 01:45:11,200
D-Tap?

3003
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:12,780
They stick it in your heel or something?

3004
01:45:13,700 --> 01:45:14,080
I don't know.

3005
01:45:14,540 --> 01:45:14,740
Yeah.

3006
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:17,100
Hotez, he would know.

3007
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:20,620
She goes on with some other little tidbits

3008
01:45:20,620 --> 01:45:21,480
that are interesting.

3009
01:45:21,700 --> 01:45:23,520
And I might as well play a couple

3010
01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:23,840
of them.

3011
01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:24,700
At least play this one.

3012
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:25,800
This is fluvax.

3013
01:45:26,700 --> 01:45:27,200
All right.

3014
01:45:27,220 --> 01:45:28,500
What about the flu vaccine?

3015
01:45:28,500 --> 01:45:32,760
Well, they have shown that basically, there's no

3016
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:33,260
difference.

3017
01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:35,700
There's no statistical difference if you're vaccinated or

3018
01:45:35,700 --> 01:45:36,400
unvaccinated.

3019
01:45:36,700 --> 01:45:37,940
Whether you get the flu or not.

3020
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:39,720
But it's even worse.

3021
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:42,620
Because although that first year, it is somewhat

3022
01:45:42,620 --> 01:45:43,080
effective.

3023
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:46,540
It's about 65% effective at preventing symptoms

3024
01:45:46,540 --> 01:45:47,140
in you.

3025
01:45:47,660 --> 01:45:50,340
After that, it actually has negative efficacy.

3026
01:45:50,700 --> 01:45:52,000
And I want to address this because it's

3027
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:52,760
very important.

3028
01:45:53,460 --> 01:45:55,700
Vaccines are made to a specific variant.

3029
01:45:55,700 --> 01:45:58,660
And when that variant mutates, the vaccine no

3030
01:45:58,660 --> 01:46:00,040
longer recognizes it.

3031
01:46:00,300 --> 01:46:02,280
And so, it's like you're seeing a completely

3032
01:46:02,280 --> 01:46:02,910
new virus.

3033
01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:07,080
And because that's so, you actually get more

3034
01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:10,520
severe symptoms when you're vaccinated against one variant.

3035
01:46:10,660 --> 01:46:11,560
And then it mutates.

3036
01:46:11,660 --> 01:46:13,220
And then your body sees the other variant.

3037
01:46:13,340 --> 01:46:14,380
So, there's a potential.

3038
01:46:14,740 --> 01:46:17,060
And the science shows that, in fact, with

3039
01:46:17,060 --> 01:46:20,020
the flu, if you get vaccinated in multiple

3040
01:46:20,020 --> 01:46:21,980
years, you are more likely to get severe

3041
01:46:21,980 --> 01:46:22,360
disease.

3042
01:46:22,460 --> 01:46:23,880
You are more likely to have more viral

3043
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:24,420
replication.

3044
01:46:24,420 --> 01:46:26,480
And you are more likely to be hospitalized,

3045
01:46:26,480 --> 01:46:28,600
both in adults and in children.

3046
01:46:28,980 --> 01:46:30,040
Ah, there's money in the bank.

3047
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:31,240
This is a great idea.

3048
01:46:31,820 --> 01:46:33,000
Bring me to the hospital.

3049
01:46:33,220 --> 01:46:33,540
Perfect.

3050
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:34,420
Perfect.

3051
01:46:35,420 --> 01:46:35,900
Wow.

3052
01:46:36,020 --> 01:46:37,640
Where is Dr. Christina Park?

3053
01:46:37,700 --> 01:46:38,640
Is she still with us?

3054
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:39,400
She's dead.

3055
01:46:39,720 --> 01:46:40,540
They shot her.

3056
01:46:41,300 --> 01:46:41,780
Wow.

3057
01:46:42,580 --> 01:46:43,060
Wow.

3058
01:46:43,420 --> 01:46:43,800
I hope not.

3059
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:44,380
I don't know where she is.

3060
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:45,100
I hope not.

3061
01:46:45,780 --> 01:46:48,060
We should track her down because she probably

3062
01:46:48,060 --> 01:46:49,720
has more things to say.

3063
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:51,680
She also had some negative commentary.

3064
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:53,660
Gee, I can't imagine why.

3065
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:56,640
Negative commentary about the COVID vaccine back in

3066
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:59,240
2021, when it first came out.

3067
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:01,600
We are seeing the same thing in COVID

3068
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:03,020
with the Delta variant.

3069
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:06,040
And so, we are mandating that people get

3070
01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:08,280
a vaccine that could actually make them more

3071
01:47:08,280 --> 01:47:10,380
sick when they're exposed to the virus.

3072
01:47:10,740 --> 01:47:12,840
In fact, this week, a paper came out.

3073
01:47:13,020 --> 01:47:15,240
And what it showed is that with this

3074
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:17,780
Delta variant, when you're vaccinated, your body makes

3075
01:47:17,780 --> 01:47:20,040
antibodies that are supposed to neutralize the virus.

3076
01:47:20,220 --> 01:47:22,160
But they were supposed to neutralize the old

3077
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:22,620
variant.

3078
01:47:22,620 --> 01:47:24,820
When they see this new variant, what they're

3079
01:47:24,820 --> 01:47:27,020
doing is actually the antibodies are taking the

3080
01:47:27,020 --> 01:47:29,600
virus and helping it infect the cells.

3081
01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:30,500
All right?

3082
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:32,600
That science was just published this week.

3083
01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:34,960
We need to be looking at the science,

3084
01:47:35,020 --> 01:47:37,600
and we need our policy to reflect the

3085
01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:39,740
science, and we also need it to reflect

3086
01:47:39,740 --> 01:47:40,600
our rights.

3087
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:43,480
Yeah, but she has a Rumble channel.

3088
01:47:44,680 --> 01:47:45,080
Oh, good.

3089
01:47:45,460 --> 01:47:47,540
That should be worth watching.

3090
01:47:47,620 --> 01:47:49,020
She's still with us on Rumble.

3091
01:47:49,220 --> 01:47:50,100
This is good news.

3092
01:47:50,480 --> 01:47:51,000
This is good news.

3093
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:51,400
Yeah, Rumble.

3094
01:47:51,400 --> 01:47:53,100
Nobody listens to Rumble.

3095
01:47:53,460 --> 01:47:56,100
So, her last commentary, I thought, was pretty

3096
01:47:56,100 --> 01:48:00,520
– it was a little – I thought

3097
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:01,600
this was interesting, too.

3098
01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:03,400
This is the end notes.

3099
01:48:04,260 --> 01:48:07,240
And so, as a Ph.D. who knows

3100
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:09,240
the science, I'm in the category of the

3101
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:11,160
most vaccine-hesitant group.

3102
01:48:11,300 --> 01:48:13,820
Yes, Ph.D.s are the most vaccine

3103
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:17,780
-hesitant, followed by people who have less than

3104
01:48:17,780 --> 01:48:19,760
a high school degree because they know what

3105
01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:21,940
they don't know, and they don't trust their

3106
01:48:21,940 --> 01:48:22,300
government.

3107
01:48:22,860 --> 01:48:25,220
And many people, the other group that is

3108
01:48:25,220 --> 01:48:27,660
very vaccine-hesitant are African-Americans.

3109
01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:30,400
Seventy percent of African-Americans have not taken

3110
01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:31,100
this vaccine.

3111
01:48:31,780 --> 01:48:32,160
Why?

3112
01:48:32,540 --> 01:48:34,080
Because they don't trust their government.

3113
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:35,860
Do they have reason not to trust their

3114
01:48:35,860 --> 01:48:36,180
government?

3115
01:48:36,460 --> 01:48:36,560
Yeah.

3116
01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:39,800
Well, between the years of 1930 and 1970,

3117
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:44,240
the CDC conducted the Tuskegee experiment, where they

3118
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:48,120
took untreated males with syphilis, and they refused

3119
01:48:48,120 --> 01:48:48,720
to treat them.

3120
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:52,720
Even after antibiotics became available, they still did

3121
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:54,000
not treat them, and they did not tell

3122
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:55,120
them that they had syphilis.

3123
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:57,780
They told those people that they were there

3124
01:48:57,780 --> 01:48:59,760
to secure their health, and they did not

3125
01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:00,660
secure their health.

3126
01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:02,200
They abused them.

3127
01:49:02,620 --> 01:49:04,200
You say, well, that was in the past,

3128
01:49:04,220 --> 01:49:06,080
although I don't think 1970 was that long

3129
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:06,440
ago.

3130
01:49:06,940 --> 01:49:10,180
Well, in 2012, whistleblower William Thompson came forward

3131
01:49:10,180 --> 01:49:12,340
and said, we published a study that said

3132
01:49:12,340 --> 01:49:15,520
MMR does not cause autism, but we lied.

3133
01:49:15,520 --> 01:49:18,500
In fact, we shredded data that showed that

3134
01:49:18,500 --> 01:49:21,760
when black boys are vaccinated on time, they

3135
01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:24,520
have increased rates of autism diagnosis.

3136
01:49:25,400 --> 01:49:27,220
And we shredded it, and we left it

3137
01:49:27,220 --> 01:49:27,900
out of the paper.

3138
01:49:28,440 --> 01:49:28,900
Wow.

3139
01:49:29,100 --> 01:49:31,400
I didn't know the Tuskegee experiment.

3140
01:49:31,620 --> 01:49:33,120
I knew, but I didn't know about that.

3141
01:49:34,440 --> 01:49:34,980
Oh, man.

3142
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:35,640
Of course not.

3143
01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:36,880
Who's going to tell you?

3144
01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:37,900
Wow.

3145
01:49:38,020 --> 01:49:39,100
Well, you know, we've changed, though.

3146
01:49:39,140 --> 01:49:39,780
We've changed.

3147
01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:42,820
We've gotten smart in the vaccine industry.

3148
01:49:43,580 --> 01:49:44,980
We've wised up.

3149
01:49:44,980 --> 01:49:46,640
We're like, we're not going to do that

3150
01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:48,420
on black Americans anymore.

3151
01:49:49,100 --> 01:49:51,720
Let's find some brown people to work on.

3152
01:49:51,860 --> 01:49:54,240
This is the Reid Hoffman podcast.

3153
01:49:54,720 --> 01:49:57,260
I'm sorry, the Bill Gates podcast with Reid

3154
01:49:57,260 --> 01:50:00,460
Hoffman as his discussion partner.

3155
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:02,800
Well, India is an example of a country

3156
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:06,120
where, oh, there's plenty of things that are

3157
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:06,360
difficult.

3158
01:50:06,360 --> 01:50:06,900
There's a laugh.

3159
01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:07,580
Laugh tale.

3160
01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:08,940
Plenty of things.

3161
01:50:08,940 --> 01:50:14,540
Oh, there's plenty of things that are difficult

3162
01:50:14,540 --> 01:50:14,980
there.

3163
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:19,500
The health, nutrition, education is improving, and they're

3164
01:50:19,500 --> 01:50:23,440
stable enough and generating their own government revenue

3165
01:50:23,440 --> 01:50:28,500
enough that it's very likely that 20 years

3166
01:50:28,500 --> 01:50:31,260
from now, people will be dramatically better off.

3167
01:50:31,740 --> 01:50:33,620
And it's kind of a laboratory to try

3168
01:50:33,620 --> 01:50:36,240
things that then, once you prove them out

3169
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:38,060
in India, you can take to other places.

3170
01:50:38,060 --> 01:50:38,720
It's a lab.

3171
01:50:39,180 --> 01:50:41,760
Our biggest non-U.S. office for the

3172
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:45,440
foundation is in India, and the most number

3173
01:50:45,440 --> 01:50:48,300
of pilot rollout things we're doing anywhere in

3174
01:50:48,300 --> 01:50:51,440
the world are with partners in India.

3175
01:50:52,060 --> 01:50:53,340
And if you go there and you've never

3176
01:50:53,340 --> 01:50:54,680
been, you might think, whoa, this is a

3177
01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:55,820
chaotic place.

3178
01:50:56,660 --> 01:50:58,720
And, you know, you're not used to so

3179
01:50:58,720 --> 01:51:01,200
many levels of income all being on the

3180
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:03,340
street at the same time.

3181
01:51:03,340 --> 01:51:05,120
But you will get a sense of the

3182
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:05,740
vibrancy.

3183
01:51:06,300 --> 01:51:07,300
It's a lab.

3184
01:51:07,300 --> 01:51:08,440
He just says it.

3185
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:09,620
This is our lab.

3186
01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:11,220
That's where we got all our people working

3187
01:51:11,220 --> 01:51:11,760
there.

3188
01:51:12,300 --> 01:51:12,940
It's great.

3189
01:51:14,080 --> 01:51:16,500
Of course, the Indians didn't like it so

3190
01:51:16,500 --> 01:51:16,800
much.

3191
01:51:16,980 --> 01:51:19,320
Billionaire Bill Gates' recent admission in a podcast

3192
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:21,280
hasn't gone down well with Indians.

3193
01:51:21,660 --> 01:51:23,960
The tech mogul called India a kind of

3194
01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:26,560
laboratory to try things, as he talked about

3195
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:28,560
health and nutrition on the podcast.

3196
01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:31,180
Now, his remark has left many fuming with

3197
01:51:31,180 --> 01:51:33,040
people calling him out for his comment.

3198
01:51:33,040 --> 01:51:35,760
People took to social media to slam Bill

3199
01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:38,620
Gates for referring to Indians as guinea pigs.

3200
01:51:39,260 --> 01:51:41,000
Some even went to the extent of asking

3201
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:42,840
him to stay out of India.

3202
01:51:43,420 --> 01:51:46,720
Now, this backlash also revived the 2009 controversy,

3203
01:51:46,860 --> 01:51:49,160
which involved an NGO funded by the Gates

3204
01:51:49,160 --> 01:51:49,720
Foundation.

3205
01:51:50,460 --> 01:51:53,160
The clinical trials of the human papilloma virus

3206
01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:56,260
or the HPV virus vaccine by NGO PATH

3207
01:51:56,260 --> 01:51:59,280
on thousands of tribal girls in India had

3208
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:00,440
led to seven deaths.

3209
01:52:00,440 --> 01:52:02,720
That time, the cause of the deaths was

3210
01:52:02,720 --> 01:52:04,500
attributed to unknown reasons.

3211
01:52:05,080 --> 01:52:09,020
Months later, investigations revealed that there was misrepresentation

3212
01:52:09,020 --> 01:52:12,580
of facts, lack of informed consent and exploitation.

3213
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:14,760
If I were Bill Gates, I'd stay away

3214
01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:17,300
from any Starbucks, anybody with a hoodie and

3215
01:52:17,300 --> 01:52:17,800
a backpack.

3216
01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:22,620
Yeah, Bill has always been, you know, ever

3217
01:52:22,620 --> 01:52:23,240
since Bill.

3218
01:52:23,420 --> 01:52:26,180
Well, ever since he got pied, which was

3219
01:52:26,180 --> 01:52:28,440
some years ago, he was pretty lax about

3220
01:52:28,440 --> 01:52:29,200
his security.

3221
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:31,160
He was floating around, he'd take buses.

3222
01:52:31,480 --> 01:52:33,180
Yeah, he'd never fly coach.

3223
01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:33,900
He'd fly coach.

3224
01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:37,340
Well, the coach thing is interesting.

3225
01:52:37,480 --> 01:52:38,600
That's what he always said.

3226
01:52:38,940 --> 01:52:40,000
I caught him once.

3227
01:52:40,240 --> 01:52:41,340
In first class?

3228
01:52:41,480 --> 01:52:42,520
In first class?

3229
01:52:43,040 --> 01:52:45,580
Yes, because he buys coach tickets.

3230
01:52:46,120 --> 01:52:47,720
And he says, don't you know who I

3231
01:52:47,720 --> 01:52:47,880
am?

3232
01:52:48,440 --> 01:52:50,260
He doesn't even have to do that.

3233
01:52:50,700 --> 01:52:52,180
They put him in first class.

3234
01:52:52,340 --> 01:52:53,780
I grilled him about this.

3235
01:52:54,460 --> 01:52:55,180
He knows me.

3236
01:52:55,820 --> 01:52:57,600
So I said, what are you doing here?

3237
01:52:57,600 --> 01:52:58,640
I thought you always fly first.

3238
01:52:58,660 --> 01:53:00,460
I thought you'd be back in coach with

3239
01:53:00,460 --> 01:53:00,820
me.

3240
01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:03,760
He says, well, you know, they make me

3241
01:53:03,760 --> 01:53:04,500
come up here.

3242
01:53:04,620 --> 01:53:07,400
They put me in first class because of,

3243
01:53:07,580 --> 01:53:08,200
you know, he had some.

3244
01:53:08,700 --> 01:53:09,800
But he always flies.

3245
01:53:09,920 --> 01:53:10,980
He's always in first class.

3246
01:53:11,140 --> 01:53:13,760
As soon as Bill Gates buys a coach.

3247
01:53:14,040 --> 01:53:15,820
So what he manages to do is get

3248
01:53:15,820 --> 01:53:17,880
a coach ticket and end up in first

3249
01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:19,240
class every time.

3250
01:53:19,620 --> 01:53:20,760
The question on everybody.

3251
01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:23,080
Now he flies in his G4, whatever he's

3252
01:53:23,080 --> 01:53:27,420
got, because when he got married to Melinda,

3253
01:53:27,520 --> 01:53:28,320
Melissa Melinda.

3254
01:53:28,460 --> 01:53:28,860
Melinda.

3255
01:53:30,820 --> 01:53:32,640
She insisted that he get a jet.

3256
01:53:32,760 --> 01:53:33,680
And so he relented.

3257
01:53:33,900 --> 01:53:35,820
And now he doesn't fly on commercial at

3258
01:53:35,820 --> 01:53:36,040
all.

3259
01:53:36,580 --> 01:53:38,700
The question on everyone's mind is what were

3260
01:53:38,700 --> 01:53:40,040
you doing in first class?

3261
01:53:40,800 --> 01:53:42,020
I was in coach.

3262
01:53:42,480 --> 01:53:44,060
I was walking down the aisle.

3263
01:53:44,980 --> 01:53:46,280
And there he was.

3264
01:53:46,820 --> 01:53:47,720
And you stopped.

3265
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:49,940
He says, hey, hey, come back with me.

3266
01:53:49,940 --> 01:53:50,680
What are you doing?

3267
01:53:51,780 --> 01:53:53,040
And you were holding up the line.

3268
01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:55,080
Were you talking to Bill?

3269
01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:56,940
Billy, I wasn't.

3270
01:53:57,600 --> 01:53:58,860
I don't hold up lines.

3271
01:53:59,180 --> 01:54:02,440
I'm a very good flyer about that.

3272
01:54:02,440 --> 01:54:04,240
Did you have a backpack and turn it

3273
01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:05,000
right into his face?

3274
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:07,020
Yeah, you're bringing people around with a backpack.

3275
01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:08,800
Yeah, I love that.

3276
01:54:09,020 --> 01:54:09,380
Those guys.

3277
01:54:09,580 --> 01:54:10,640
And with that, I'd like to thank you

3278
01:54:10,640 --> 01:54:11,480
for your courage.

3279
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:14,600
Especially that courage of questing Bill Gates on

3280
01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:15,640
his first class seat.

3281
01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:16,940
And say in the morning to you, the

3282
01:54:16,940 --> 01:54:18,660
man who put the C in the censorship

3283
01:54:18,660 --> 01:54:20,360
industry.

3284
01:54:21,060 --> 01:54:22,160
Say hello to my friend on the other

3285
01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:22,320
end.

3286
01:54:22,380 --> 01:54:24,140
The one, the only, Mr. John C.

3287
01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:24,620
DeMora.

3288
01:54:28,340 --> 01:54:30,000
In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.

3289
01:54:30,060 --> 01:54:31,300
In the morning to all ships that see

3290
01:54:31,300 --> 01:54:32,580
boots on the ground, feet in the air.

3291
01:54:33,280 --> 01:54:34,660
Subs in the water and all the names

3292
01:54:34,660 --> 01:54:35,440
and nights out there.

3293
01:54:35,500 --> 01:54:36,920
In the morning to the trolls in the

3294
01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:37,340
troll room.

3295
01:54:37,460 --> 01:54:38,280
Let's get it, Bill.

3296
01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:38,880
Here we go.

3297
01:54:39,220 --> 01:54:39,540
Okay.

3298
01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:43,100
Well, I know the answer to this one.

3299
01:54:43,140 --> 01:54:44,640
I know that we should be at 1800.

3300
01:54:44,640 --> 01:54:47,560
That's our regular trollage for a Thursday, correct?

3301
01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:48,620
Yeah.

3302
01:54:49,620 --> 01:54:50,360
2041, baby.

3303
01:54:51,660 --> 01:54:53,060
That's because of the pardon.

3304
01:54:55,960 --> 01:54:57,700
No, I think it's because of the CEO.

3305
01:54:58,060 --> 01:54:59,380
Everyone was emailing me about the CEO.

3306
01:54:59,380 --> 01:54:59,900
Oh, it could be that.

3307
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:01,640
One of the two, but you get news,

3308
01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:04,020
you always pick up hundreds more people.

3309
01:55:04,200 --> 01:55:04,760
Yeah, more.

3310
01:55:04,780 --> 01:55:06,600
To see what we have to say about

3311
01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:06,700
it.

3312
01:55:06,720 --> 01:55:08,180
More assassinations, please.

3313
01:55:08,260 --> 01:55:09,260
It's good for business.

3314
01:55:09,980 --> 01:55:12,220
By the way, it's just the truth.

3315
01:55:12,660 --> 01:55:13,100
Just the truth.

3316
01:55:13,100 --> 01:55:13,680
It is true.

3317
01:55:13,860 --> 01:55:14,040
It's true.

3318
01:55:14,180 --> 01:55:14,880
It's absolutely true.

3319
01:55:15,900 --> 01:55:17,480
Those trolls are all checking us out at

3320
01:55:17,480 --> 01:55:19,580
trollroom.io. They could, of course, be using

3321
01:55:19,580 --> 01:55:23,040
a modern podcast app, unlike the nonsense that

3322
01:55:23,040 --> 01:55:25,720
people supposedly get all their podcasts from YouTube.

3323
01:55:26,020 --> 01:55:26,880
That's what they're trying.

3324
01:55:27,300 --> 01:55:28,460
They want to push every all.

3325
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:29,980
You know, this is such a big push.

3326
01:55:30,100 --> 01:55:31,360
Oh, you got a podcast.

3327
01:55:31,500 --> 01:55:32,540
You have to do video.

3328
01:55:32,740 --> 01:55:33,680
You have to do.

3329
01:55:33,780 --> 01:55:35,220
If you don't do video, no one's going

3330
01:55:35,220 --> 01:55:36,040
to see your podcast.

3331
01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:37,700
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

3332
01:55:37,940 --> 01:55:39,680
They want you on there so they can

3333
01:55:39,680 --> 01:55:40,200
heat you.

3334
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:41,740
They can heat you up, heat you down.

3335
01:55:42,220 --> 01:55:43,880
They want to control you.

3336
01:55:44,040 --> 01:55:46,640
Get your own RSS feed and use a

3337
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:49,720
modern podcast app, which is completely independent of

3338
01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:52,500
any Silicon Valley company because they use podcast

3339
01:55:52,500 --> 01:55:54,340
index, podcastapps.com.

3340
01:55:54,580 --> 01:55:55,580
Do yourself a favor.

3341
01:55:55,880 --> 01:55:57,660
You know, I saw that one of Joe

3342
01:55:57,660 --> 01:56:03,080
Rogan's episodes didn't even appear on Apple.

3343
01:56:03,620 --> 01:56:05,540
They just skipped an episode or they took

3344
01:56:05,540 --> 01:56:06,000
it down.

3345
01:56:06,420 --> 01:56:06,720
I don't know.

3346
01:56:06,940 --> 01:56:07,220
What was it?

3347
01:56:07,420 --> 01:56:07,860
Mike Rowe.

3348
01:56:08,600 --> 01:56:09,720
I don't know why.

3349
01:56:10,300 --> 01:56:11,040
Mike Rowe?

3350
01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:12,940
Mike Rowe, yeah, the Dirty Jobs guy.

3351
01:56:13,220 --> 01:56:14,280
I have no idea.

3352
01:56:15,660 --> 01:56:17,140
And let me just check.

3353
01:56:17,340 --> 01:56:18,840
Let me see if it's still that way.

3354
01:56:18,940 --> 01:56:19,420
Let me see.

3355
01:56:20,820 --> 01:56:22,920
Rogan Apple Podcasts.

3356
01:56:23,340 --> 01:56:24,840
People were complaining about it.

3357
01:56:24,900 --> 01:56:26,400
I'm getting a modern podcast app.

3358
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:27,280
I don't want that nonsense.

3359
01:56:28,100 --> 01:56:28,580
Let's see.

3360
01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:30,100
Here we go.

3361
01:56:34,980 --> 01:56:37,420
34, 35, 33.

3362
01:56:37,700 --> 01:56:38,280
It's not there.

3363
01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:39,640
Oh, no.

3364
01:56:39,640 --> 01:56:40,880
Ah, they heard it.

3365
01:56:40,980 --> 01:56:41,680
It's there now.

3366
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:43,240
Oh, man.

3367
01:56:43,580 --> 01:56:45,340
There goes that whole gambit.

3368
01:56:46,240 --> 01:56:47,700
I guess Apple didn't take it down.

3369
01:56:49,460 --> 01:56:52,180
But Spotify and Apple have been known to

3370
01:56:52,180 --> 01:56:53,100
take down episodes.

3371
01:56:53,360 --> 01:56:54,720
It happens on a daily basis.

3372
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:57,500
So your favorite podcast, you want to keep

3373
01:56:57,500 --> 01:56:58,180
listening to it.

3374
01:56:58,260 --> 01:56:59,520
Make sure that you protect yourself.

3375
01:56:59,580 --> 01:57:00,500
It's really for yourself.

3376
01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:02,520
And most of these apps are free.

3377
01:57:02,620 --> 01:57:04,820
You can donate to the developer.

3378
01:57:05,840 --> 01:57:08,880
And they deserve it, quite honestly, podcastapps.com.

3379
01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:13,640
Man, we got a lot of different things

3380
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:15,680
to talk about for our donation segment.

3381
01:57:16,780 --> 01:57:18,620
Because, you know, of course, we have value

3382
01:57:18,620 --> 01:57:19,180
for value.

3383
01:57:19,320 --> 01:57:20,200
And I got a lot of, did you

3384
01:57:20,200 --> 01:57:22,020
get P.O. Box stuff?

3385
01:57:23,300 --> 01:57:23,860
I'm sorry?

3386
01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:25,680
Did you get any cool stuff in the

3387
01:57:25,680 --> 01:57:26,240
P.O. Box?

3388
01:57:27,080 --> 01:57:28,560
Yeah, I got a couple of things.

3389
01:57:28,700 --> 01:57:31,660
I got an AeroPress, which is a single

3390
01:57:31,660 --> 01:57:33,780
cup coffee.

3391
01:57:34,420 --> 01:57:35,700
Yeah, I got one of those.

3392
01:57:35,780 --> 01:57:36,700
Have you tried it out yet?

3393
01:57:37,500 --> 01:57:37,820
No.

3394
01:57:37,820 --> 01:57:39,680
Well, you know, no.

3395
01:57:40,040 --> 01:57:41,980
No, you know.

3396
01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:45,920
Well, see, I have a Breville cappuccino maker,

3397
01:57:46,060 --> 01:57:47,500
which makes single cups.

3398
01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:51,320
And I have used that device before because

3399
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:53,880
other people have them.

3400
01:57:53,940 --> 01:57:54,520
And I've used it.

3401
01:57:54,580 --> 01:57:56,080
It makes a terrific cup of coffee.

3402
01:57:56,500 --> 01:57:59,240
Far better than the Cafe Filtra and the

3403
01:57:59,240 --> 01:58:00,440
stuff that you like.

3404
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:02,560
I don't use Filtra.

3405
01:58:02,940 --> 01:58:04,660
I use the French Press.

3406
01:58:04,860 --> 01:58:05,380
French Press is much better.

3407
01:58:05,380 --> 01:58:08,780
French Press, to me, I don't mind it

3408
01:58:08,780 --> 01:58:11,000
with the exact right beans.

3409
01:58:11,300 --> 01:58:13,620
But French Press can produce a very bitter

3410
01:58:13,620 --> 01:58:14,420
cup of coffee.

3411
01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:15,600
Ah, well.

3412
01:58:16,220 --> 01:58:16,840
This won't.

3413
01:58:17,080 --> 01:58:17,440
This doesn't do that.

3414
01:58:17,440 --> 01:58:19,020
My Gigawatt tastes just perfect.

3415
01:58:19,160 --> 01:58:21,360
That was from Sir Scovey, Sir Scovey of

3416
01:58:21,360 --> 01:58:21,980
the Piedmont.

3417
01:58:22,720 --> 01:58:24,180
He sent a very nice long.

3418
01:58:24,380 --> 01:58:25,340
What kind of paper is that?

3419
01:58:25,460 --> 01:58:27,560
That's an interesting paper that he typed that

3420
01:58:27,560 --> 01:58:27,800
on.

3421
01:58:28,120 --> 01:58:29,080
I've never seen this paper.

3422
01:58:29,080 --> 01:58:31,440
Yes, it is a silver paper.

3423
01:58:31,440 --> 01:58:35,060
It was like, I think it's some sort

3424
01:58:35,060 --> 01:58:36,420
of old computer.

3425
01:58:36,800 --> 01:58:37,600
And it's thick.

3426
01:58:37,780 --> 01:58:38,560
Yeah, very thick.

3427
01:58:38,820 --> 01:58:39,200
Very thick.

3428
01:58:39,620 --> 01:58:40,740
Yeah, it was very peculiar.

3429
01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:42,120
I think it was some sort of old

3430
01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:44,420
paper that goes way back for some sort

3431
01:58:44,420 --> 01:58:45,320
of special printer.

3432
01:58:45,740 --> 01:58:46,920
That was kind of interesting.

3433
01:58:47,100 --> 01:58:48,280
And I also wanted to say hello to

3434
01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:52,620
Daniel Walker-Parker, who is in McLennan County,

3435
01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:54,340
Gulag, in Waco.

3436
01:58:55,540 --> 01:58:57,300
He sent in a whole bunch of Forever

3437
01:58:57,300 --> 01:58:57,700
stamps.

3438
01:58:57,780 --> 01:58:59,020
He hopes that that will be value for

3439
01:58:59,020 --> 01:58:59,360
value.

3440
01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:01,540
So I will keep them for us.

3441
01:59:02,360 --> 01:59:04,280
It seems like he might be there for

3442
01:59:04,280 --> 01:59:04,580
a bit.

3443
01:59:06,180 --> 01:59:07,660
He sent an interesting note.

3444
01:59:09,160 --> 01:59:11,580
It's always interesting to get something from the

3445
01:59:11,580 --> 01:59:12,360
penitentiary.

3446
01:59:12,940 --> 01:59:14,440
And then we need to send out prayers

3447
01:59:14,440 --> 01:59:16,000
and karma to Dame Astrid.

3448
01:59:16,140 --> 01:59:17,300
I don't know if you saw that note

3449
01:59:17,300 --> 01:59:17,760
this morning.

3450
01:59:17,980 --> 01:59:19,400
Oh, yeah, I heard about it last night

3451
01:59:19,400 --> 01:59:20,460
when I was talking to Jay.

3452
01:59:20,540 --> 01:59:21,320
She's in Japan.

3453
01:59:21,500 --> 01:59:22,120
They were going to meet.

3454
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:24,300
They can't meet now because Astrid broke her

3455
01:59:24,300 --> 01:59:24,680
leg.

3456
01:59:24,680 --> 01:59:27,040
Yes, she fell and managed to break the

3457
01:59:27,040 --> 01:59:30,440
ball off the top of her femur, which

3458
01:59:30,440 --> 01:59:31,880
just sounds horrible.

3459
01:59:32,620 --> 01:59:34,080
Don't even discuss it.

3460
01:59:34,340 --> 01:59:35,180
But she's in good hands.

3461
01:59:35,480 --> 01:59:36,540
I know she had to have an operation,

3462
01:59:36,860 --> 01:59:38,900
and I immediately thought it was a compound

3463
01:59:38,900 --> 01:59:39,360
fracture.

3464
01:59:39,460 --> 01:59:41,020
That's the kind of fracture, I think it's

3465
01:59:41,020 --> 01:59:43,840
compound, where the bone goes through the skin

3466
01:59:43,840 --> 01:59:44,780
and sticks out.

3467
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:47,380
No, I hope not.

3468
01:59:48,240 --> 01:59:50,860
Anyway, she's already had a new joint fitted.

3469
01:59:51,860 --> 01:59:53,340
Gotta love Japanese efficiency.

3470
01:59:54,440 --> 01:59:55,400
She's in Hong Kong.

3471
01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:57,340
There's a Chinese efficiency in this case.

3472
01:59:57,460 --> 01:59:58,760
No, no, Dame Mark.

3473
01:59:59,140 --> 02:00:00,680
Sir Mark is in Hong Kong.

3474
02:00:00,680 --> 02:00:02,720
I thought she was in Hong Kong with

3475
02:00:02,720 --> 02:00:02,840
him.

3476
02:00:02,940 --> 02:00:04,200
That's where she broke her leg.

3477
02:00:04,940 --> 02:00:05,840
I don't think so.

3478
02:00:06,460 --> 02:00:08,600
I think he went to Hong Kong to

3479
02:00:08,600 --> 02:00:09,780
receive another award.

3480
02:00:10,380 --> 02:00:12,000
I got to pick up another award in

3481
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:12,460
Hong Kong.

3482
02:00:12,680 --> 02:00:13,220
So sorry.

3483
02:00:14,160 --> 02:00:15,360
Can't be with you, Astrid.

3484
02:00:15,480 --> 02:00:16,300
I'm picking up an award.

3485
02:00:18,400 --> 02:00:20,060
Yeah, so we're all thinking of her.

3486
02:00:21,180 --> 02:00:23,880
And thank you to Jeremy and his daughter

3487
02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:25,320
Taylor who came through Fredericksburg.

3488
02:00:25,740 --> 02:00:27,920
He's the guy that's sending you a computer

3489
02:00:27,920 --> 02:00:29,660
and some community coffee.

3490
02:00:30,760 --> 02:00:31,000
Yes.

3491
02:00:31,300 --> 02:00:32,940
Yes, I'm looking forward to that.

3492
02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:34,220
Yeah, so he came, so it was very

3493
02:00:34,220 --> 02:00:34,460
nice.

3494
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:35,120
So it's always nice.

3495
02:00:35,200 --> 02:00:37,460
If you're in Fredericksburg, let me know if

3496
02:00:37,460 --> 02:00:38,220
I can work it out.

3497
02:00:39,020 --> 02:00:42,840
I'd love to say hi, at least have

3498
02:00:42,840 --> 02:00:44,180
a cup of coffee or maybe a lunch.

3499
02:00:45,060 --> 02:00:46,360
Anyway, value for value.

3500
02:00:46,480 --> 02:00:47,240
That's how it works.

3501
02:00:47,880 --> 02:00:49,600
All of these things are valuable to us.

3502
02:00:49,600 --> 02:00:51,940
We love receiving things like that in the

3503
02:00:51,940 --> 02:00:52,520
post office.

3504
02:00:53,100 --> 02:00:55,760
We also very much enjoy the work that

3505
02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:58,060
many of our producers do to support us,

3506
02:00:58,120 --> 02:00:59,420
time, talent, or treasure.

3507
02:01:00,140 --> 02:01:02,520
One of the premier ways that people can

3508
02:01:02,520 --> 02:01:05,260
help us is by creating artwork for the

3509
02:01:05,260 --> 02:01:05,460
show.

3510
02:01:05,540 --> 02:01:06,740
We like to have a new piece of

3511
02:01:06,740 --> 02:01:08,380
art for every single episode.

3512
02:01:08,580 --> 02:01:10,540
We've been doing that for a very long

3513
02:01:10,540 --> 02:01:10,900
time.

3514
02:01:11,480 --> 02:01:13,400
And we want to thank the artist for

3515
02:01:13,400 --> 02:01:15,080
episode 1717.

3516
02:01:15,240 --> 02:01:17,240
We titled that one Mr. Peepers.

3517
02:01:17,240 --> 02:01:20,860
And it was Capitalist Agenda who brought us

3518
02:01:20,860 --> 02:01:23,680
the artwork, which was Skibbity Toilets.

3519
02:01:25,860 --> 02:01:28,120
And even though neither of us understand the

3520
02:01:28,120 --> 02:01:31,060
Skibbity lingo that well, it kind of had

3521
02:01:31,060 --> 02:01:32,080
it all there, didn't it?

3522
02:01:32,140 --> 02:01:33,740
I mean, was there anything else that we

3523
02:01:33,740 --> 02:01:36,760
saw that was worthy that we looked at

3524
02:01:36,760 --> 02:01:37,340
on the list?

3525
02:01:37,520 --> 02:01:40,880
That was such a professional looking piece and

3526
02:01:40,880 --> 02:01:43,560
it had a – and stylized.

3527
02:01:43,660 --> 02:01:44,460
It was hard to be.

3528
02:01:44,460 --> 02:01:47,340
I mean, I was even going to use

3529
02:01:47,340 --> 02:01:50,300
the face bank social credit one for the

3530
02:01:50,300 --> 02:01:50,740
newsletter.

3531
02:01:50,900 --> 02:01:52,520
But what did I use for the newsletter?

3532
02:01:53,580 --> 02:01:54,540
I have to look.

3533
02:01:54,660 --> 02:01:56,520
The face bank social credit, I'm looking for

3534
02:01:56,520 --> 02:01:56,620
that one.

3535
02:01:56,620 --> 02:01:58,500
Yeah, it's right underneath the Skibbity one.

3536
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:01,000
Oh, yeah.

3537
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:01,740
Oh, yeah, yeah.

3538
02:02:01,760 --> 02:02:02,360
Social credit.

3539
02:02:02,460 --> 02:02:02,960
Yes, yeah.

3540
02:02:03,300 --> 02:02:04,580
I like that piece.

3541
02:02:06,340 --> 02:02:08,080
Capagena did a great job on this one.

3542
02:02:08,240 --> 02:02:09,180
It was just fun.

3543
02:02:09,220 --> 02:02:10,000
It was fun to see.

3544
02:02:10,780 --> 02:02:11,440
I liked it.

3545
02:02:11,440 --> 02:02:14,140
And, you know, probably not AI, not that

3546
02:02:14,140 --> 02:02:15,480
it matters all that much.

3547
02:02:16,020 --> 02:02:18,100
It may or may not be, but it's

3548
02:02:18,100 --> 02:02:18,720
beside the point.

3549
02:02:18,800 --> 02:02:20,320
He's a pro and he knows what he's

3550
02:02:20,320 --> 02:02:20,580
doing.

3551
02:02:21,180 --> 02:02:24,000
Well, remember, art is God's soulful expression of

3552
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:24,460
his love.

3553
02:02:24,560 --> 02:02:26,220
So that can't come from a computer.

3554
02:02:26,380 --> 02:02:26,700
Sorry.

3555
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:30,140
So that's what Capagena did.

3556
02:02:31,180 --> 02:02:32,080
That's a good one.

3557
02:02:33,740 --> 02:02:34,420
Thank you.

3558
02:02:37,760 --> 02:02:38,760
Self-righteous.

3559
02:02:39,060 --> 02:02:40,640
Oh, I'm self-righteous?

3560
02:02:40,640 --> 02:02:41,640
No, no, I'm not.

3561
02:02:41,700 --> 02:02:43,820
I'm just telling you how I feel, what

3562
02:02:43,820 --> 02:02:44,260
I think.

3563
02:02:44,560 --> 02:02:45,660
Can't change that.

3564
02:02:46,120 --> 02:02:47,500
So I did a phone call.

3565
02:02:47,660 --> 02:02:49,640
A phone message just came in.

3566
02:02:49,960 --> 02:02:51,320
I didn't know this was even on.

3567
02:02:51,420 --> 02:02:54,180
We have a voicemail for the show?

3568
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:55,740
No, I don't have.

3569
02:02:55,820 --> 02:02:57,760
No, I'm just telling you what the phone

3570
02:02:57,760 --> 02:02:59,000
rang during one of your clips, and I

3571
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:00,760
picked it up to see what the hell

3572
02:03:00,760 --> 02:03:01,400
is going on.

3573
02:03:02,400 --> 02:03:07,740
Noah or somebody, they canceled the tsunami alert.

3574
02:03:08,080 --> 02:03:10,500
Oh, that's wussy.

3575
02:03:10,500 --> 02:03:12,280
So I guess that went out to the

3576
02:03:12,280 --> 02:03:13,620
whole state of California or something.

3577
02:03:13,700 --> 02:03:15,120
I don't know what the deal is.

3578
02:03:15,140 --> 02:03:16,900
But do you remember the phone ringing when

3579
02:03:16,900 --> 02:03:18,640
the tsunami alert was on, or did they

3580
02:03:18,640 --> 02:03:19,420
not call you for that?

3581
02:03:19,420 --> 02:03:20,700
No, well, I was probably in bed.

3582
02:03:22,260 --> 02:03:24,060
I don't want to keep a phone by

3583
02:03:24,060 --> 02:03:26,980
my bed like other people do.

3584
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:30,800
A lot of people, which always surprises me,

3585
02:03:30,860 --> 02:03:33,040
they use their phone as their alarm clock.

3586
02:03:33,320 --> 02:03:35,580
That seems to be most of the population

3587
02:03:35,580 --> 02:03:36,220
these days.

3588
02:03:36,880 --> 02:03:37,100
Yeah.

3589
02:03:37,420 --> 02:03:37,780
I know.

3590
02:03:37,980 --> 02:03:38,240
You do.

3591
02:03:38,240 --> 02:03:40,100
What kind of alarm clock do you have?

3592
02:03:40,460 --> 02:03:42,500
The alarm clock has got a big bell

3593
02:03:42,500 --> 02:03:42,940
on it.

3594
02:03:43,560 --> 02:03:44,760
So it's a wind-up still?

3595
02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:46,000
No.

3596
02:03:46,460 --> 02:03:49,140
No, I have an electric, but it's from

3597
02:03:49,140 --> 02:03:51,740
China, and it has all kinds of features,

3598
02:03:51,780 --> 02:03:53,500
and it does cool stuff.

3599
02:03:53,740 --> 02:03:54,380
Like what?

3600
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:56,020
It's an actual clock.

3601
02:03:56,120 --> 02:03:59,680
It's got sound effects, and it has two

3602
02:03:59,680 --> 02:04:01,540
or three different moments where it could wake

3603
02:04:01,540 --> 02:04:01,780
you.

3604
02:04:01,920 --> 02:04:04,000
This sounds like a potential tip of the

3605
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:04,300
day.

3606
02:04:04,540 --> 02:04:04,960
Products.

3607
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:09,160
No, because the problem is that the shoddy,

3608
02:04:09,360 --> 02:04:13,340
what would you call it?

3609
02:04:14,040 --> 02:04:14,480
Manufacturing?

3610
02:04:14,820 --> 02:04:15,200
Worksmanship.

3611
02:04:15,800 --> 02:04:16,720
Worksmanship, yes.

3612
02:04:16,880 --> 02:04:20,740
The shoddy worksmanship of some Chinese goods, including

3613
02:04:20,740 --> 02:04:22,400
this clock, even though it's got a lot

3614
02:04:22,400 --> 02:04:24,920
of cool features, is not going to get

3615
02:04:24,920 --> 02:04:26,280
a tip of the day from me.

3616
02:04:26,420 --> 02:04:27,960
Oh, okay.

3617
02:04:28,620 --> 02:04:30,220
Well, there you go.

3618
02:04:30,640 --> 02:04:31,840
Tip of the day is wide open.

3619
02:04:31,940 --> 02:04:33,320
We're all excited, by the way, for the

3620
02:04:33,320 --> 02:04:33,780
tip of the day.

3621
02:04:33,780 --> 02:04:35,100
People need to know that there's a lot

3622
02:04:35,100 --> 02:04:36,160
more shows still coming.

3623
02:04:36,840 --> 02:04:37,680
Tip of the day.

3624
02:04:38,120 --> 02:04:40,040
I know we have some more stories to

3625
02:04:40,040 --> 02:04:40,500
talk about.

3626
02:04:41,640 --> 02:04:45,440
And, again, thanks to Capitalist Agenda for bringing

3627
02:04:45,440 --> 02:04:45,980
that artwork.

3628
02:04:46,240 --> 02:04:46,760
We loved it.

3629
02:04:46,840 --> 02:04:47,540
It was good to see.

3630
02:04:47,580 --> 02:04:48,600
It was good to see an original.

3631
02:04:48,760 --> 02:04:49,740
We appreciate it so much.

3632
02:04:50,620 --> 02:04:52,940
Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can see all

3633
02:04:52,940 --> 02:04:54,500
of these pieces of artwork in the modern

3634
02:04:54,500 --> 02:04:55,380
podcast apps.

3635
02:04:55,500 --> 02:04:57,540
Dreb Scott puts them right into the chapters,

3636
02:04:57,740 --> 02:04:59,420
also only available in the modern app.

3637
02:04:59,480 --> 02:05:00,380
What are you waiting for?

3638
02:05:00,380 --> 02:05:04,920
And you can participate by creating an account

3639
02:05:04,920 --> 02:05:07,460
and uploading to noagendaartgenerator.com.

3640
02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:11,360
Now, we always appreciate any treasure people send.

3641
02:05:11,500 --> 02:05:14,000
We will thank everybody, $50 and above, not

3642
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:16,420
below, for reasons of anonymity and for brevity,

3643
02:05:16,540 --> 02:05:18,020
although we could have easily done it today.

3644
02:05:18,580 --> 02:05:20,780
And, also, we have our sustaining donations, which

3645
02:05:20,780 --> 02:05:23,060
we appreciate any amount, any frequency.

3646
02:05:23,220 --> 02:05:26,300
You go to noagendadonations.com, and you can

3647
02:05:26,300 --> 02:05:27,240
set that up yourself.

3648
02:05:27,240 --> 02:05:29,140
And, of course, if you get up to

3649
02:05:29,140 --> 02:05:30,860
$1,000, you become a knight or a

3650
02:05:30,860 --> 02:05:32,100
dame of the No Agenda Roundtable.

3651
02:05:32,460 --> 02:05:33,940
We have an entire peerage model.

3652
02:05:34,040 --> 02:05:35,720
There's a lot that you can do for

3653
02:05:35,720 --> 02:05:36,880
your No Agenda show.

3654
02:05:37,340 --> 02:05:38,760
And what we do in return is we

3655
02:05:38,760 --> 02:05:41,100
thank our executive and associate executive producers.

3656
02:05:41,260 --> 02:05:43,860
You get those forever credits by supporting us

3657
02:05:43,860 --> 02:05:45,140
with $200 or more.

3658
02:05:45,240 --> 02:05:45,980
We'll read your note.

3659
02:05:46,060 --> 02:05:47,520
That's the associate executive producer.

3660
02:05:47,880 --> 02:05:49,840
You can use that credit anywhere credits are

3661
02:05:49,840 --> 02:05:52,380
recognized, including imdb.com.

3662
02:05:52,760 --> 02:05:53,860
And, of course, you can put in your

3663
02:05:53,860 --> 02:05:55,020
social media profiles.

3664
02:05:55,360 --> 02:05:56,580
But you can use it.

3665
02:05:56,580 --> 02:05:58,560
You know, on your resume as well.

3666
02:05:59,180 --> 02:06:01,220
And $300 or above, we read your note,

3667
02:06:01,280 --> 02:06:03,080
and you get an executive producer credit for

3668
02:06:03,080 --> 02:06:03,580
the episode.

3669
02:06:03,700 --> 02:06:04,920
It'll be 1718.

3670
02:06:04,920 --> 02:06:07,960
And we kick it off with Derek Heidbrink,

3671
02:06:08,900 --> 02:06:11,100
parts unknown as far as I can see.

3672
02:06:12,080 --> 02:06:14,520
And he comes in with a cool instant

3673
02:06:14,520 --> 02:06:17,320
knight donation, $1,000, and says, happy holidays.

3674
02:06:18,020 --> 02:06:19,480
I look forward to joining the ranks.

3675
02:06:19,640 --> 02:06:23,140
Oh, no, this is a knighthood and a

3676
02:06:23,140 --> 02:06:24,400
climate change studies.

3677
02:06:24,980 --> 02:06:26,940
Whoa, two in one go.

3678
02:06:27,140 --> 02:06:29,780
Please change my title to Sir Double Dr.

3679
02:06:29,920 --> 02:06:30,200
Derek.

3680
02:06:30,860 --> 02:06:33,640
And please send travel karma and estate closure

3681
02:06:33,640 --> 02:06:34,100
karma.

3682
02:06:34,620 --> 02:06:37,480
I narrowly escaped Hurricane Milton while traveling for

3683
02:06:37,480 --> 02:06:38,960
work and could use a top-up.

3684
02:06:39,380 --> 02:06:40,160
Keep up the good work.

3685
02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:40,900
Well, absolutely.

3686
02:06:41,160 --> 02:06:41,860
Thank you very much.

3687
02:06:41,940 --> 02:06:43,520
And we will see you for the ceremony

3688
02:06:43,520 --> 02:06:44,500
in just a little bit.

3689
02:06:45,900 --> 02:06:47,560
You've got karma.

3690
02:06:49,620 --> 02:06:51,120
Sir DC Knight's up.

3691
02:06:51,240 --> 02:06:52,360
Or Sir Knight DC.

3692
02:06:52,880 --> 02:06:53,700
Let's get that straight.

3693
02:06:53,700 --> 02:06:54,840
The right order.

3694
02:06:55,000 --> 02:06:56,920
He's in Oregon, 444.

3695
02:06:58,140 --> 02:07:00,300
From Sir Knight DC of the high desert

3696
02:07:00,300 --> 02:07:02,220
in the morning, John and Adam.

3697
02:07:02,760 --> 02:07:04,880
As always, thank you for continued deconstruction of

3698
02:07:04,880 --> 02:07:07,060
the media propagated upon the American people.

3699
02:07:07,980 --> 02:07:10,520
Bitcoin just passed 100K, and I'm sharing with

3700
02:07:10,520 --> 02:07:11,140
you too.

3701
02:07:11,360 --> 02:07:14,860
I'd like to call out Ryle, like Kyle,

3702
02:07:15,380 --> 02:07:17,780
who shared your show with me in 2018

3703
02:07:17,780 --> 02:07:20,560
as a mega douche who's never donated.

3704
02:07:21,260 --> 02:07:21,860
Douchebag.

3705
02:07:23,480 --> 02:07:24,040
Mega.

3706
02:07:24,480 --> 02:07:25,440
Mega douche.

3707
02:07:25,780 --> 02:07:28,680
Could I get a John fisting nuts jingle,

3708
02:07:28,840 --> 02:07:31,280
whichever is short, long, and house-buying karma,

3709
02:07:31,480 --> 02:07:31,720
please?

3710
02:07:32,080 --> 02:07:33,160
Just go for it, John.

3711
02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:37,380
Tell us your peeve about the fisting method

3712
02:07:37,380 --> 02:07:38,780
of eating snacks on an airplane.

3713
02:07:39,160 --> 02:07:41,080
I see this on the airplane, and it's

3714
02:07:41,080 --> 02:07:42,740
very annoying, and I think it will result

3715
02:07:42,740 --> 02:07:45,360
in fights breaking out because it's just so

3716
02:07:45,360 --> 02:07:46,140
annoying to watch.

3717
02:07:46,140 --> 02:07:49,160
Guy takes his bag of peanuts, and he

3718
02:07:49,160 --> 02:07:51,880
throws a pile of them into his palm

3719
02:07:51,880 --> 02:07:53,640
of his hand, and then he makes a

3720
02:07:53,640 --> 02:07:56,320
fist around the nuts.

3721
02:07:56,680 --> 02:07:57,880
Around the nuts.

3722
02:07:58,360 --> 02:08:00,780
And then he shakes his fist to try

3723
02:08:00,780 --> 02:08:02,540
to bring a nut to the little hole.

3724
02:08:03,420 --> 02:08:04,420
To the little hole.

3725
02:08:04,760 --> 02:08:07,760
And then he throws a nut in his

3726
02:08:07,760 --> 02:08:08,920
mouth from his fist.

3727
02:08:09,380 --> 02:08:10,180
From his fist.

3728
02:08:10,660 --> 02:08:11,680
Then he does it again.

3729
02:08:11,740 --> 02:08:13,460
He shakes and throws and shakes and throws.

3730
02:08:13,460 --> 02:08:17,720
It is annoying as hell to watch.

3731
02:08:18,560 --> 02:08:20,120
You've got karma.

3732
02:08:22,120 --> 02:08:24,180
Since we don't have many jingles today, I

3733
02:08:24,180 --> 02:08:25,520
opted to play the whole thing.

3734
02:08:26,560 --> 02:08:27,740
Quint Y.

3735
02:08:28,060 --> 02:08:28,360
Newell.

3736
02:08:29,700 --> 02:08:34,300
Olympia Washington, 333.33, and he has a

3737
02:08:34,300 --> 02:08:36,640
note, which I believe I have.

3738
02:08:38,280 --> 02:08:38,880
Uh...

3739
02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:40,800
Oh, this was, uh, is this a make

3740
02:08:40,800 --> 02:08:41,000
-good?

3741
02:08:42,760 --> 02:08:44,000
This is Quint, right?

3742
02:08:44,140 --> 02:08:44,360
Yes.

3743
02:08:45,060 --> 02:08:46,900
Sir Sigma here, with a big in the

3744
02:08:46,900 --> 02:08:47,940
morning to you both, in the morning.

3745
02:08:48,080 --> 02:08:50,200
I donated on Sunday and somehow hit send

3746
02:08:50,200 --> 02:08:51,800
before adding a note, so here's a make

3747
02:08:51,800 --> 02:08:52,540
-good for myself.

3748
02:08:53,040 --> 02:08:53,800
We like this.

3749
02:08:54,720 --> 02:08:57,120
This is a very good, uh, good trend.

3750
02:08:57,600 --> 02:08:58,960
I want to wish a very happy birthday

3751
02:08:58,960 --> 02:09:01,820
to my beautiful bride and smoking hot wife,

3752
02:09:01,920 --> 02:09:05,200
Kimberly Ann, a.k.a. Hardcore Mama, whose

3753
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:06,600
birthday is today, a show day.

3754
02:09:06,700 --> 02:09:07,380
How about that?

3755
02:09:07,660 --> 02:09:08,700
Happy birthday, babe.

3756
02:09:08,780 --> 02:09:09,320
Love you.

3757
02:09:09,460 --> 02:09:09,880
Mean it.

3758
02:09:09,880 --> 02:09:12,160
Also a happy belated birthday to my mom,

3759
02:09:12,480 --> 02:09:15,120
who turned 77 on Monday, my second favorite

3760
02:09:15,120 --> 02:09:16,100
woman on Earth.

3761
02:09:16,420 --> 02:09:18,760
I was recently knighted, but did enjoy the

3762
02:09:18,760 --> 02:09:21,320
way you guys said my name, Quint Y.

3763
02:09:21,560 --> 02:09:21,780
Newell.

3764
02:09:22,160 --> 02:09:23,940
Quint is a lifelong nickname.

3765
02:09:24,120 --> 02:09:24,700
Thanks, Mom.

3766
02:09:24,900 --> 02:09:26,860
She couldn't deal with another Bobby in her

3767
02:09:26,860 --> 02:09:27,120
life.

3768
02:09:27,200 --> 02:09:29,280
My real name, so much for being anonymous,

3769
02:09:29,660 --> 02:09:32,560
is Robert Yates Newell V, hence Quint.

3770
02:09:33,220 --> 02:09:34,000
Not bad, Mom.

3771
02:09:34,180 --> 02:09:35,780
Thanks for putting up with me all these

3772
02:09:35,780 --> 02:09:36,020
years.

3773
02:09:36,060 --> 02:09:38,180
I'd like to request a smoking hot wife,

3774
02:09:38,180 --> 02:09:39,120
boogity, boogity.

3775
02:09:39,300 --> 02:09:41,720
I got a boogity for you.

3776
02:09:42,300 --> 02:09:44,080
Smoking hot wife, boogity, boogity.

3777
02:09:45,740 --> 02:09:47,940
Uh, yeah, and for my wife, and an

3778
02:09:47,940 --> 02:09:50,180
F cancer for my mom, who's still battling,

3779
02:09:50,300 --> 02:09:51,360
but still going strong.

3780
02:09:51,500 --> 02:09:52,700
Thanks, dudes, he says.

3781
02:09:53,020 --> 02:09:54,460
Quint, Sir Sigma.

3782
02:09:54,600 --> 02:09:55,140
You got it, brother.

3783
02:09:55,300 --> 02:09:57,600
Boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity.

3784
02:09:57,900 --> 02:09:58,760
What's the crowd?

3785
02:09:58,820 --> 02:09:59,940
It's the music tonight.

3786
02:10:00,420 --> 02:10:01,800
Lord, I want to thank you for the

3787
02:10:01,800 --> 02:10:02,860
smoking hot wife.

3788
02:10:07,350 --> 02:10:08,910
You've got karma.

3789
02:10:10,830 --> 02:10:16,270
And we got $333.33 from the Frankenmuth

3790
02:10:16,270 --> 02:10:18,830
Fudge Kitchen proprietor, Zach McLennan.

3791
02:10:19,550 --> 02:10:20,450
Ooh, Fudge Kitchen.

3792
02:10:21,210 --> 02:10:24,470
Fudge Kitchen in Frankenmuth, Michigan.

3793
02:10:24,730 --> 02:10:27,930
Dear John Anatomy writes, it's on a sheet

3794
02:10:27,930 --> 02:10:28,950
of paper, as you can tell.

3795
02:10:29,050 --> 02:10:29,330
Mm-hmm.

3796
02:10:30,770 --> 02:10:32,770
Thank you for all you do to keep

3797
02:10:32,770 --> 02:10:33,350
us going.

3798
02:10:33,850 --> 02:10:35,590
You helped us navigate, by the way, it's

3799
02:10:35,590 --> 02:10:39,350
handwritten in a, not as bad as another

3800
02:10:39,350 --> 02:10:40,950
note, but it's not great.

3801
02:10:41,650 --> 02:10:44,550
Help us navigate through the crazy times of

3802
02:10:44,550 --> 02:10:45,010
COVID.

3803
02:10:46,530 --> 02:10:48,670
Random things are capitalized.

3804
02:10:50,190 --> 02:10:54,410
Like, for example, navigates capitalized through the craziest

3805
02:10:54,410 --> 02:10:58,510
capitalized times of COVID capitalized and beyond capitalized.

3806
02:10:59,230 --> 02:11:03,770
I wish I had a copy of this

3807
02:11:03,770 --> 02:11:04,070
note.

3808
02:11:04,290 --> 02:11:05,150
It seems hilarious.

3809
02:11:05,150 --> 02:11:07,110
Yes, well, this is, I didn't.

3810
02:11:07,770 --> 02:11:09,870
Jay's in Japan, so she doesn't get to,

3811
02:11:09,950 --> 02:11:11,690
didn't do the, I had to do all

3812
02:11:11,690 --> 02:11:12,450
this myself.

3813
02:11:13,370 --> 02:11:14,910
And I wasn't going to copy it.

3814
02:11:16,190 --> 02:11:20,610
We are a family owned fudge kitchen in

3815
02:11:20,610 --> 02:11:25,670
Frankenmuth, Michigan that specializes, capitalized, in hand capitalized,

3816
02:11:25,790 --> 02:11:29,050
made fudge, handmade fudge right in front of

3817
02:11:29,050 --> 02:11:29,950
your eyes.

3818
02:11:30,190 --> 02:11:30,710
Send some.

3819
02:11:31,730 --> 02:11:33,710
Let us make, he did send some to

3820
02:11:33,710 --> 02:11:33,890
me.

3821
02:11:33,890 --> 02:11:35,090
He's going to have to send some to

3822
02:11:35,090 --> 02:11:35,350
you.

3823
02:11:37,430 --> 02:11:39,230
And the fudge is genuine.

3824
02:11:39,490 --> 02:11:40,210
Let me put it that way.

3825
02:11:40,330 --> 02:11:41,010
It's very fudge.

3826
02:11:41,650 --> 02:11:42,030
Fudgy.

3827
02:11:42,330 --> 02:11:42,790
It's fudgy.

3828
02:11:43,250 --> 02:11:45,150

Woo!

3835
02:11:57,670 --> 02:11:58,770
Now you're talking.

3836
02:11:59,690 --> 02:12:01,330
We got a fudge brand.

3837
02:12:01,650 --> 02:12:01,970
Nice.

3838
02:12:03,330 --> 02:12:05,790
noagendafudge.com from now until the end of

3839
02:12:05,790 --> 02:12:06,250
the year.

3840
02:12:07,010 --> 02:12:07,910
That's an easy one to remember.

3841
02:12:07,910 --> 02:12:10,610
Let our family sweeten up your holidays sincerely.

3842
02:12:12,290 --> 02:12:14,810
It started off so demure and then all

3843
02:12:14,810 --> 02:12:16,270
of a sudden it went to the fudge.

3844
02:12:16,510 --> 02:12:16,870
Nice.

3845
02:12:17,450 --> 02:12:17,930
Exactly.

3846
02:12:17,930 --> 02:12:18,470
It was good.

3847
02:12:18,930 --> 02:12:22,190
It was very, very, slipped it in, yeah.

3848
02:12:22,310 --> 02:12:22,850
Well done.

3849
02:12:23,090 --> 02:12:24,570
Anonymous comes in with $300.

3850
02:12:24,990 --> 02:12:25,930
No note that I can see.

3851
02:12:26,030 --> 02:12:27,970
That means a double up karma for you.

3852
02:12:28,070 --> 02:12:31,530
You've got karma.

3853
02:12:32,050 --> 02:12:35,050
Yeah, that guy actually said to Chase, he

3854
02:12:35,050 --> 02:12:36,750
didn't even want to be mentioned in anything,

3855
02:12:36,910 --> 02:12:38,710
but I thought I'd put it on there

3856
02:12:38,710 --> 02:12:39,890
for bookkeeping purposes.

3857
02:12:40,110 --> 02:12:40,750
We don't like to.

3858
02:12:40,890 --> 02:12:42,910
Yeah, I'll do the next one from Eli

3859
02:12:42,910 --> 02:12:45,970
the coffee guy in Bensonville, Illinois.

3860
02:12:46,930 --> 02:12:49,310
$215.05. Always an interesting amount that he

3861
02:12:49,310 --> 02:12:49,830
sends us.

3862
02:12:50,530 --> 02:12:52,410
That may be $200 plus fees for all

3863
02:12:52,410 --> 02:12:52,730
I know.

3864
02:12:52,830 --> 02:12:54,690
It's been an interesting last couple of news

3865
02:12:54,690 --> 02:12:55,170
days.

3866
02:12:55,570 --> 02:12:57,230
South Korean martial law.

3867
02:12:57,230 --> 02:12:58,610
Yeah, for a day.

3868
02:12:59,190 --> 02:13:02,550
CEO assassination, Syria, Georgia, and a high profile

3869
02:13:02,550 --> 02:13:03,610
presidential pardon.

3870
02:13:04,030 --> 02:13:05,830
Such a fertile news environment.

3871
02:13:06,030 --> 02:13:08,370
It's like Christmas came early for you guys.

3872
02:13:08,530 --> 02:13:11,270
But before Christmas actually is here, producers should

3873
02:13:11,270 --> 02:13:13,750
consider giving the gift of caffeination to friends

3874
02:13:13,750 --> 02:13:15,150
and family this holiday season.

3875
02:13:15,350 --> 02:13:17,230
Visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com.

3876
02:13:17,570 --> 02:13:20,230
Use code ITM20 for 20% off your

3877
02:13:20,230 --> 02:13:23,630
order and stay caffeinated, says Eli the coffee

3878
02:13:23,630 --> 02:13:24,010
guy.

3879
02:13:24,910 --> 02:13:27,310
Which brings us to Linda Lou Patkin who

3880
02:13:27,310 --> 02:13:28,550
wants jobs karma.

3881
02:13:28,790 --> 02:13:29,310
Wow.

3882
02:13:30,050 --> 02:13:32,290
And she also has a message for everybody

3883
02:13:32,290 --> 02:13:32,690
out there.

3884
02:13:32,750 --> 02:13:35,510
For a faster, more effective job search, she

3885
02:13:35,510 --> 02:13:38,010
writes, visit, visit, visit.

3886
02:13:38,330 --> 02:13:39,250
Fail again.

3887
02:13:39,550 --> 02:13:40,710
Fail every single time.

3888
02:13:41,110 --> 02:13:41,750
I don't know.

3889
02:13:42,010 --> 02:13:44,790
I've nailed this at least once every couple

3890
02:13:44,790 --> 02:13:45,090
months.

3891
02:13:45,110 --> 02:13:45,990
Every month or so, yeah.

3892
02:13:46,930 --> 02:13:48,450
Visit imagemakersinc.com.

3893
02:13:48,550 --> 02:13:49,970
That's imagemakersinc with a K.

3894
02:13:50,330 --> 02:13:52,930
Or go to your executive resume or your

3895
02:13:52,930 --> 02:13:53,470
go-to.

3896
02:13:53,470 --> 02:13:54,610
Okay.

3897
02:13:56,070 --> 02:13:58,350
You're a go-to for your executive resumes

3898
02:13:58,350 --> 02:13:59,850
and job search needs.

3899
02:14:00,770 --> 02:14:02,670
Work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs and

3900
02:14:02,670 --> 02:14:03,870
writer of resumes.

3901
02:14:04,310 --> 02:14:07,510
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

3902
02:14:07,670 --> 02:14:09,230
Let's vote for jobs.

3903
02:14:09,830 --> 02:14:10,010
Yes!

3904
02:14:10,890 --> 02:14:11,070
Karma.

3905
02:14:11,410 --> 02:14:14,730
And then we have Judd Hall, Hallry?

3906
02:14:14,990 --> 02:14:17,930
I think it's Hall Lee, is it not?

3907
02:14:18,050 --> 02:14:22,450
No, it's H-A-W-L-R-Y.

3908
02:14:22,450 --> 02:14:23,330
You have the note.

3909
02:14:23,770 --> 02:14:24,350
I do.

3910
02:14:24,650 --> 02:14:25,850
In fact...

3911
02:14:25,850 --> 02:14:26,610
Ah, there it is.

3912
02:14:26,650 --> 02:14:26,930
Proof.

3913
02:14:27,010 --> 02:14:27,510
It's a note.

3914
02:14:27,890 --> 02:14:28,630
Proof it's a note.

3915
02:14:29,090 --> 02:14:30,210
He came in with 200 bucks.

3916
02:14:30,670 --> 02:14:32,810
Now, this is actually a note and it's

3917
02:14:32,810 --> 02:14:33,390
being directed...

3918
02:14:33,390 --> 02:14:34,550
I'm going to direct it to you.

3919
02:14:34,730 --> 02:14:35,290
Oh, okay.

3920
02:14:36,990 --> 02:14:37,390
Okay.

3921
02:14:37,730 --> 02:14:38,450
He says...

3922
02:14:38,450 --> 02:14:45,070
And this is more interesting writing, printing, I'd

3923
02:14:45,070 --> 02:14:45,230
say.

3924
02:14:45,790 --> 02:14:47,810
I'd like to be...

3925
02:14:47,810 --> 02:14:48,510
I...

3926
02:14:48,510 --> 02:14:49,750
Oh, I'm sorry.

3927
02:14:49,750 --> 02:14:52,090
I listen to a ton of podcasts.

3928
02:14:52,530 --> 02:14:52,970
A ton.

3929
02:14:53,250 --> 02:14:54,490
He weighs them, I guess.

3930
02:14:54,490 --> 02:14:54,750
That's a lot.

3931
02:14:54,750 --> 02:14:55,050
That's a lot.

3932
02:14:55,770 --> 02:14:58,110
But yours is the only one I never

3933
02:14:58,110 --> 02:14:58,710
miss.

3934
02:15:00,230 --> 02:15:02,690
I've made a few end-of-show mixes

3935
02:15:02,690 --> 02:15:05,850
but felt something...

3936
02:15:05,850 --> 02:15:08,270
I felt pangs of...

3937
02:15:10,290 --> 02:15:12,810
I felt pangs...

3938
02:15:12,810 --> 02:15:14,270
Oh, I felt pangs of guilt.

3939
02:15:14,450 --> 02:15:15,090
Okay, I got it.

3940
02:15:15,150 --> 02:15:15,370
Guilt?

3941
02:15:16,310 --> 02:15:18,210
During the donation segments.

3942
02:15:18,290 --> 02:15:19,210
That's why he gave us 200.

3943
02:15:19,390 --> 02:15:20,210
Oh, I see.

3944
02:15:20,210 --> 02:15:25,010
I have three EPs of funk-slash-folk

3945
02:15:25,010 --> 02:15:31,110
music on all listening platforms at Judd H

3946
02:15:31,110 --> 02:15:33,650
-A-W-L-R-Y.

3947
02:15:34,570 --> 02:15:35,310
All right.

3948
02:15:35,530 --> 02:15:37,410
Judge Paulry.

3949
02:15:38,650 --> 02:15:39,970
Check them out.

3950
02:15:40,330 --> 02:15:43,130
Also, how does one put up value-for

3951
02:15:43,130 --> 02:15:44,070
-value music?

3952
02:15:44,250 --> 02:15:46,070
And this is the question I'm asking Adam.

3953
02:15:46,230 --> 02:15:47,150
I'm glad you asked.

3954
02:15:47,150 --> 02:15:49,610
There's many different ways you can do it.

3955
02:15:50,930 --> 02:15:56,430
I would say look at rssblue.com, podhome

3956
02:15:56,430 --> 02:15:59,590
.fm, or wavelake.com.

3957
02:15:59,710 --> 02:16:02,510
W-A-V-L-A-K-E dot

3958
02:16:02,510 --> 02:16:02,810
com.

3959
02:16:03,350 --> 02:16:05,190
And they will be happy to get you

3960
02:16:05,190 --> 02:16:05,490
started.

3961
02:16:07,050 --> 02:16:08,530
It's the tip of the day.

3962
02:16:10,730 --> 02:16:11,290
Yeah.

3963
02:16:11,630 --> 02:16:11,950
Okay.

3964
02:16:12,210 --> 02:16:12,850
Tip of the day.

3965
02:16:12,970 --> 02:16:13,450
Was that it?

3966
02:16:13,570 --> 02:16:14,770
Was that his...

3967
02:16:14,770 --> 02:16:15,330
Any more questions?

3968
02:16:15,330 --> 02:16:16,730
Yes, and he signs off.

3969
02:16:16,810 --> 02:16:17,050
All right.

3970
02:16:17,090 --> 02:16:18,770
Or you can send me an email, adamatcurry

3971
02:16:18,770 --> 02:16:21,090
.com, and I'll get you started.

3972
02:16:21,250 --> 02:16:21,990
I can help you out.

3973
02:16:22,070 --> 02:16:24,350
There's lots of people in No Agenda Universe

3974
02:16:24,350 --> 02:16:25,570
and Nation who will help you.

3975
02:16:26,090 --> 02:16:27,910
And with that, we thank our executive and

3976
02:16:27,910 --> 02:16:30,570
associate executive producers for supporting us for Episode

3977
02:16:30,570 --> 02:16:31,750
1718.

3978
02:16:31,809 --> 02:16:34,910
Again, we'll be thanking everybody $50 and above.

3979
02:16:35,190 --> 02:16:37,430
And thank you for those sustaining donations.

3980
02:16:37,590 --> 02:16:39,490
Even if you came in as an executive

3981
02:16:39,490 --> 02:16:41,750
or associate executive producer, they help a lot.

3982
02:16:41,809 --> 02:16:42,629
We appreciate them.

3983
02:16:42,889 --> 02:16:44,790
Go to noagendadonations.com.

3984
02:16:44,790 --> 02:16:46,670
That's noagendadonations.com.

3985
02:16:46,750 --> 02:16:47,450
Support the show.

3986
02:16:47,790 --> 02:16:49,370
And thank you for supporting this episode.

3987
02:16:49,490 --> 02:16:50,750
Our formula is this.

3988
02:16:52,910 --> 02:16:54,129
We hit people in the mouth.

3989
02:17:04,790 --> 02:17:13,799
We got a few things.

3990
02:17:13,959 --> 02:17:15,520
I think we should at least talk about

3991
02:17:15,520 --> 02:17:17,540
the French government failing.

3992
02:17:17,540 --> 02:17:19,420
Yes, a massive fail.

3993
02:17:19,980 --> 02:17:21,980
I'm sure you have clips.

3994
02:17:22,080 --> 02:17:25,040
I think I had like a BBC clip

3995
02:17:25,040 --> 02:17:26,040
that was pretty decent.

3996
02:17:26,360 --> 02:17:27,840
But what do you have?

3997
02:17:28,500 --> 02:17:30,760
These are from, I think, well, these are

3998
02:17:30,760 --> 02:17:32,180
either NPR or NTD.

3999
02:17:34,040 --> 02:17:35,260
French government fails one.

4000
02:17:35,700 --> 02:17:38,100
France's parliament today voted on a no confidence

4001
02:17:38,100 --> 02:17:39,600
motion against the government.

4002
02:17:39,900 --> 02:17:40,980
I'm guessing NTD.

4003
02:17:41,340 --> 02:17:42,480
It's just a guess.

4004
02:17:42,480 --> 02:17:46,480
According to the French constitution, President Emmanuel Macron

4005
02:17:46,480 --> 02:17:48,420
will need to appoint a new prime minister

4006
02:17:48,420 --> 02:17:49,980
and form a new government.

4007
02:17:50,760 --> 02:17:52,860
This is a situation not seen in 62

4008
02:17:52,860 --> 02:17:53,900
years in the country.

4009
02:17:54,120 --> 02:17:55,719
And it marks the first time in history

4010
02:17:55,719 --> 02:17:58,440
the National Rally has joined the leftist coalition

4011
02:17:58,440 --> 02:18:00,879
in a no confidence vote against the government.

4012
02:18:01,160 --> 02:18:03,360
For many members of parliament, this is a

4013
02:18:03,360 --> 02:18:04,020
historic day.

4014
02:18:05,860 --> 02:18:09,280
The prime minister has overdramatized hoping to extend

4015
02:18:09,280 --> 02:18:10,040
his mandate.

4016
02:18:10,040 --> 02:18:12,480
I think that, as the president of the

4017
02:18:12,480 --> 02:18:15,040
National Assembly said, we must also respect our

4018
02:18:15,040 --> 02:18:15,740
institutions.

4019
02:18:15,980 --> 02:18:17,260
Alternative ways exist.

4020
02:18:17,360 --> 02:18:19,660
It's not written in the constitution for nothing.

4021
02:18:20,240 --> 02:18:22,480
The program of the left-wing coalition I

4022
02:18:22,480 --> 02:18:24,980
support should be the basis for discussion.

4023
02:18:25,299 --> 02:18:28,040
As there is no majority in parliament, we'll

4024
02:18:28,040 --> 02:18:30,580
have to make concessions so that the different

4025
02:18:30,580 --> 02:18:32,540
political groups move towards each other.

4026
02:18:33,940 --> 02:18:36,299
Prime Minister Michel Barnier, a member of Macron's

4027
02:18:36,299 --> 02:18:38,860
group in parliament, warned that France could face

4028
02:18:38,860 --> 02:18:40,260
significant instability.

4029
02:18:40,840 --> 02:18:43,240
The government, which began its mandate in September

4030
02:18:43,240 --> 02:18:45,719
after snap elections in June, has become the

4031
02:18:45,719 --> 02:18:48,379
shortest-serving administration in French history.

4032
02:18:48,700 --> 02:18:52,320
There won't be a shutdown or any chaos.

4033
02:18:52,719 --> 02:18:54,940
French President Emmanuel Macron said it.

4034
02:18:55,139 --> 02:18:56,879
And even if I'm not from his groups,

4035
02:18:56,959 --> 02:18:57,760
I agree with him.

4036
02:18:58,320 --> 02:19:00,980
The no confidence vote follows tensions over the

4037
02:19:00,980 --> 02:19:02,100
2025 budget.

4038
02:19:02,320 --> 02:19:04,920
With no compromise reached in parliament, the prime

4039
02:19:04,920 --> 02:19:08,219
minister invoked a constitutional article to bypass the

4040
02:19:08,219 --> 02:19:09,139
legislative body.

4041
02:19:09,940 --> 02:19:12,320
According to National Rally member Philippe Ballard, a

4042
02:19:12,320 --> 02:19:14,780
sharp rise in planned taxes made the no

4043
02:19:14,780 --> 02:19:16,360
confidence vote unavoidable.

4044
02:19:17,920 --> 02:19:20,480
The budget was 40 billion in sub-commentary

4045
02:19:20,480 --> 02:19:21,840
taxes, so it's unacceptable.

4046
02:19:22,160 --> 02:19:24,240
And since the budget will be abandoned, retirement

4047
02:19:24,240 --> 02:19:27,000
pensions won't be decreased, electricity taxes won't go

4048
02:19:27,000 --> 02:19:28,820
up, and some medicines will continue to be

4049
02:19:28,820 --> 02:19:29,400
reimbursed.

4050
02:19:29,820 --> 02:19:31,840
That's why we voted to dismiss the government.

4051
02:19:32,660 --> 02:19:34,020
It was both sides.

4052
02:19:34,299 --> 02:19:35,540
Everybody hated this guy.

4053
02:19:36,559 --> 02:19:36,719
Yeah.

4054
02:19:37,059 --> 02:19:38,440
Everybody's like, you're no good.

4055
02:19:38,760 --> 02:19:39,420
You're no good.

4056
02:19:39,620 --> 02:19:40,900
There's a second part to this?

4057
02:19:41,520 --> 02:19:42,740
Yeah, see what that is.

4058
02:19:42,740 --> 02:19:45,639
The French parliament must vote on the 2025

4059
02:19:45,639 --> 02:19:49,160
budget law, a particularly challenging one, as France's

4060
02:19:49,160 --> 02:19:50,880
public deficit is skyrocketing.

4061
02:19:51,380 --> 02:19:53,920
French President Emmanuel Macron urgently needed to find

4062
02:19:53,920 --> 02:19:56,340
a solution to reassure the French, but also

4063
02:19:56,340 --> 02:19:58,700
the financial market and the EU institutions.

4064
02:19:59,280 --> 02:20:01,620
Here in parliament, some members of political group

4065
02:20:01,620 --> 02:20:05,420
in casual conversation expresses concerns about a political

4066
02:20:05,420 --> 02:20:08,840
crisis that could potentially escalate into a financial

4067
02:20:08,840 --> 02:20:09,220
one.

4068
02:20:09,920 --> 02:20:11,800
Yeah, I think the BBC report is better

4069
02:20:11,800 --> 02:20:13,600
because they get more into the weeds, and

4070
02:20:13,600 --> 02:20:16,800
it's a little clearer than NTD, who've taken

4071
02:20:16,800 --> 02:20:18,880
to putting a sock over their microphone for

4072
02:20:18,880 --> 02:20:19,480
some reason.

4073
02:20:20,060 --> 02:20:20,860
Don't know what happened there.

4074
02:20:20,940 --> 02:20:21,480
Here's BBC.

4075
02:20:22,120 --> 02:20:25,580
French politicians have ousted the government in a

4076
02:20:25,580 --> 02:20:28,400
no confidence vote, leaving the prospect of months

4077
02:20:28,400 --> 02:20:30,020
of turmoil in France.

4078
02:20:30,580 --> 02:20:32,720
Michel Barnier is the first French prime minister

4079
02:20:32,720 --> 02:20:35,300
to be dismissed in this way since 1962.

4080
02:20:36,160 --> 02:20:38,860
Opposition parties called the vote after Mr Barnier

4081
02:20:38,860 --> 02:20:42,180
used special powers to force through controversial social

4082
02:20:42,180 --> 02:20:43,340
security reforms.

4083
02:20:43,780 --> 02:20:46,760
In the no confidence debate, the far right

4084
02:20:46,760 --> 02:20:49,640
leader Marine Le Pen said the minority government

4085
02:20:49,640 --> 02:20:52,980
had refused to make sufficient budget concessions to

4086
02:20:52,980 --> 02:20:54,020
avoid a crisis.

4087
02:20:54,020 --> 02:20:57,940
She said Mr Barnier's budget would impose suffering

4088
02:20:57,940 --> 02:20:59,060
on the French people.

4089
02:21:03,200 --> 02:21:06,540
This budget takes French people hostage, and most

4090
02:21:06,540 --> 02:21:08,520
especially the most vulnerable.

4091
02:21:09,040 --> 02:21:13,040
The poorer pensioners, people with illness, impoverished workers.

4092
02:21:13,820 --> 02:21:16,400
French people considered too rich to receive aid,

4093
02:21:16,760 --> 02:21:19,580
but not poor enough to escape a hammering

4094
02:21:19,580 --> 02:21:20,480
from the tax man.

4095
02:21:20,820 --> 02:21:23,960
The French budget minister, Laurent Saint-Martin, challenged

4096
02:21:23,960 --> 02:21:26,460
those MPs who had opposed the budget.

4097
02:21:27,160 --> 02:21:30,500
Do you want to deprive New Caledonia of

4098
02:21:30,500 --> 02:21:31,920
a billion euros of credit?

4099
02:21:32,360 --> 02:21:34,600
Do you want to prevent the financing of

4100
02:21:34,600 --> 02:21:35,100
OPEX?

4101
02:21:35,380 --> 02:21:37,440
Do you want to prevent support for Ukraine?

4102
02:21:37,980 --> 02:21:40,180
Do you really want to prevent the payment

4103
02:21:40,180 --> 02:21:42,220
of the disabled adult allowance?

4104
02:21:42,820 --> 02:21:43,760
Say it frankly.

4105
02:21:44,140 --> 02:21:46,120
And thank you to all the people who

4106
02:21:46,120 --> 02:21:49,100
are here who take their responsibilities seriously.

4107
02:21:49,480 --> 02:21:52,460
The French president Emmanuel Macron is likely to

4108
02:21:52,460 --> 02:21:55,600
keep Mr Barnier as a caretaker prime minister

4109
02:21:55,600 --> 02:21:58,480
while he seeks a replacement acceptable to a

4110
02:21:58,480 --> 02:21:59,800
deeply divided parliament.

4111
02:22:00,220 --> 02:22:00,720
They're broke.

4112
02:22:01,220 --> 02:22:02,200
That's basically it.

4113
02:22:02,380 --> 02:22:02,880
They're broke.

4114
02:22:03,860 --> 02:22:04,900
They got no money.

4115
02:22:06,140 --> 02:22:08,300
They want austerity.

4116
02:22:08,600 --> 02:22:10,200
I'm sure it was IMF related.

4117
02:22:10,640 --> 02:22:13,460
You gotta, like, screw the old people.

4118
02:22:14,780 --> 02:22:15,920
That's what you typically do.

4119
02:22:16,180 --> 02:22:16,660
That's what you do.

4120
02:22:17,820 --> 02:22:18,780
South Korea.

4121
02:22:19,040 --> 02:22:20,360
We got our boots on the ground from

4122
02:22:20,360 --> 02:22:20,900
South Korea.

4123
02:22:20,900 --> 02:22:21,840
Did you see that come in?

4124
02:22:23,520 --> 02:22:24,280
Yeah, I did.

4125
02:22:24,420 --> 02:22:26,640
I have it here.

4126
02:22:27,500 --> 02:22:28,420
Timeline of events.

4127
02:22:28,480 --> 02:22:29,700
This is very succinct.

4128
02:22:29,880 --> 02:22:32,020
And it's very specific about what this was

4129
02:22:32,020 --> 02:22:32,780
really about.

4130
02:22:33,320 --> 02:22:35,100
You want to play the clips first and

4131
02:22:35,100 --> 02:22:36,240
then we can play the boots on the

4132
02:22:36,240 --> 02:22:36,460
ground?

4133
02:22:36,580 --> 02:22:37,340
You have clips?

4134
02:22:37,560 --> 02:22:38,200
Oh boy.

4135
02:22:38,560 --> 02:22:39,480
How many do you have?

4136
02:22:40,340 --> 02:22:40,640
Two.

4137
02:22:41,160 --> 02:22:41,540
Okay.

4138
02:22:42,780 --> 02:22:43,740
Are they of that same...

4139
02:22:43,740 --> 02:22:44,500
Is it NTD?

4140
02:22:45,140 --> 02:22:46,620
Well, it's South Korea.

4141
02:22:46,760 --> 02:22:47,240
It's gotta be.

4142
02:22:47,340 --> 02:22:50,320
South Korea is reeling after its president declared

4143
02:22:50,320 --> 02:22:51,200
martial law.

4144
02:22:51,480 --> 02:22:53,780
Although the order was later lifted amid widespread

4145
02:22:53,780 --> 02:22:57,440
condemnation, the move plunged the country's political landscape

4146
02:22:57,440 --> 02:22:58,540
into chaos.

4147
02:22:58,980 --> 02:23:01,360
South Korean defense minister, as well as Yun's

4148
02:23:01,360 --> 02:23:04,600
senior policy advisors, offered to resign following the

4149
02:23:04,600 --> 02:23:05,160
unrest.

4150
02:23:05,560 --> 02:23:08,500
Six South Korean opposition parties submitted bills of

4151
02:23:08,500 --> 02:23:11,040
impeachment for President Yun Suk-kyo on Wednesday.

4152
02:23:11,400 --> 02:23:13,980
That came after Yun's sudden move imposing martial

4153
02:23:13,980 --> 02:23:15,160
law the night before.

4154
02:23:15,680 --> 02:23:17,400
In an address, he had claimed there were

4155
02:23:17,400 --> 02:23:19,940
anti-state forces among his opponents.

4156
02:23:20,440 --> 02:23:24,040
But after parliament unanimously rejected his decree, hours

4157
02:23:24,040 --> 02:23:25,340
later, Yun backed down.

4158
02:23:25,920 --> 02:23:28,140
A vote on his impeachment is expected within

4159
02:23:28,140 --> 02:23:29,140
the coming days.

4160
02:23:29,480 --> 02:23:31,980
It would pass in South Korea's National Assembly

4161
02:23:31,980 --> 02:23:34,560
if two-thirds of lawmakers support the bill.

4162
02:23:34,880 --> 02:23:36,640
And that would then lead to a trial

4163
02:23:36,640 --> 02:23:39,440
held by South Korea's constitutional court.

4164
02:23:39,940 --> 02:23:42,360
On Wednesday morning, the country's National Assembly building

4165
02:23:42,360 --> 02:23:44,520
bore scars of violence the night before.

4166
02:23:44,520 --> 02:23:47,280
Boxes, chairs piled up as barricades.

4167
02:23:48,240 --> 02:23:50,760
Security camera footage released Wednesday gave a better

4168
02:23:50,760 --> 02:23:52,500
view of events the night before.

4169
02:23:53,080 --> 02:23:55,840
Soldiers tasked with imposing martial law landing on

4170
02:23:55,840 --> 02:23:58,540
the sports pitch near parliament before smashing the

4171
02:23:58,540 --> 02:24:01,480
building's windows and clashing with parliamentary aides.

4172
02:24:02,200 --> 02:24:04,920
It all marks South Korea's biggest political crisis

4173
02:24:04,920 --> 02:24:07,800
in decades, and the first time martial law

4174
02:24:07,800 --> 02:24:11,200
has been declared since 1980, before it became

4175
02:24:11,200 --> 02:24:11,860
a democracy.

4176
02:24:12,440 --> 02:24:15,940
Yun, a career prosecutor, had been very unpopular

4177
02:24:15,940 --> 02:24:17,500
with the South Korean public.

4178
02:24:17,960 --> 02:24:21,740
He's faced discontent over his economic policy, scandals,

4179
02:24:21,960 --> 02:24:23,220
and other controversies.

4180
02:24:23,600 --> 02:24:26,120
Should Yun resign or be removed from office,

4181
02:24:26,480 --> 02:24:28,480
Prime Minister Han Deok-su would fill in

4182
02:24:28,480 --> 02:24:30,840
as leader until a new election is held.

4183
02:24:31,020 --> 02:24:32,560
Now, I want to read this boots on

4184
02:24:32,560 --> 02:24:33,960
the ground before we do the second clip.

4185
02:24:34,440 --> 02:24:36,300
Well, actually, you can read it now because

4186
02:24:36,300 --> 02:24:37,920
I don't think the second clip adds anything.

4187
02:24:38,040 --> 02:24:39,220
No, it probably won't.

4188
02:24:39,280 --> 02:24:41,800
So the timeline of events on December 3rd

4189
02:24:41,800 --> 02:24:42,560
is President Yun.

4190
02:24:43,140 --> 02:24:45,600
Now, he's just the president, but the parliament

4191
02:24:45,600 --> 02:24:47,560
is opposition.

4192
02:24:48,920 --> 02:24:51,740
His opposition is the majority, so he's kind

4193
02:24:51,740 --> 02:24:53,760
of a lame duck president, I guess.

4194
02:24:54,560 --> 02:24:56,200
On December 3rd, Yun...

4195
02:24:56,200 --> 02:24:56,460
No?

4196
02:24:57,060 --> 02:25:00,360
Well, lame duck specifically refers to somebody who's

4197
02:25:00,360 --> 02:25:02,260
just been voted out, and he hasn't been

4198
02:25:02,260 --> 02:25:02,860
voted out.

4199
02:25:03,320 --> 02:25:05,040
Okay, he's ineffective.

4200
02:25:05,760 --> 02:25:06,800
He got no power.

4201
02:25:06,880 --> 02:25:08,320
He got no juice except for this.

4202
02:25:09,300 --> 02:25:11,160
So December 3rd, Yun gave a State of

4203
02:25:11,160 --> 02:25:12,400
the Union speech on TV.

4204
02:25:12,560 --> 02:25:16,560
He discussed the threats to democracy and accused

4205
02:25:16,560 --> 02:25:18,800
the left of destroying the nation.

4206
02:25:19,360 --> 02:25:21,780
10.28 p.m., he declares martial law

4207
02:25:21,780 --> 02:25:22,860
at the end of his speech.

4208
02:25:23,240 --> 02:25:27,040
10.30, the 707th Special Mission Group, about

4209
02:25:27,040 --> 02:25:30,600
300 in number, raided the National Election Commission

4210
02:25:30,600 --> 02:25:31,040
building.

4211
02:25:31,620 --> 02:25:34,700
They confiscated servers and phones and left after

4212
02:25:34,700 --> 02:25:35,440
three hours.

4213
02:25:35,840 --> 02:25:38,360
12 a.m., some soldiers go to the

4214
02:25:38,360 --> 02:25:41,660
National Assembly building and they loiter around, but

4215
02:25:41,660 --> 02:25:43,980
don't even block any politicians from going into

4216
02:25:43,980 --> 02:25:44,860
the Assembly building.

4217
02:25:45,300 --> 02:25:47,320
The opposition party voted to lift the martial

4218
02:25:47,320 --> 02:25:47,640
law.

4219
02:25:47,760 --> 02:25:50,440
President Yun lifted the martial law after only

4220
02:25:50,440 --> 02:25:51,120
six hours.

4221
02:25:51,420 --> 02:25:53,600
It seems like the whole thing was just

4222
02:25:53,600 --> 02:25:57,840
to raid the National Election Commission because there

4223
02:25:57,840 --> 02:26:00,300
is talk of election fraud.

4224
02:26:01,700 --> 02:26:04,340
So the whole thing was a smokescreen, according

4225
02:26:04,340 --> 02:26:06,800
to our boots on the ground, just to

4226
02:26:06,800 --> 02:26:08,840
break in and get all the details and

4227
02:26:08,840 --> 02:26:09,600
get the information.

4228
02:26:09,760 --> 02:26:11,220
Everything else is window dressing.

4229
02:26:12,040 --> 02:26:13,020
It's like Watergate.

4230
02:26:13,100 --> 02:26:15,140
Yes, only not secret.

4231
02:26:16,620 --> 02:26:19,560
So I would say the 707th Special Mission

4232
02:26:19,560 --> 02:26:21,700
Group in Korea is an elite special forces

4233
02:26:21,700 --> 02:26:25,220
unit specializing in black ops, counterterrorism, special ops,

4234
02:26:25,320 --> 02:26:27,900
reconnaissance, high-risk intelligence gathering, etc.

4235
02:26:28,940 --> 02:26:31,880
The left has been accused of using fake,

4236
02:26:32,140 --> 02:26:35,900
here it comes, mail-in ballots and hacking

4237
02:26:35,900 --> 02:26:38,720
voting machines to win elections similar to what

4238
02:26:38,720 --> 02:26:41,380
happened in the U.S. Earlier this year,

4239
02:26:41,420 --> 02:26:43,700
in 2024, the left-wing party surprised everybody

4240
02:26:43,700 --> 02:26:46,260
with a huge victory and won the majority

4241
02:26:46,260 --> 02:26:46,680
of seats.

4242
02:26:46,860 --> 02:26:47,120
Okay.

4243
02:26:48,520 --> 02:26:50,440
Well, I wonder if it's dominions.

4244
02:26:53,780 --> 02:26:55,080
We appreciate that.

4245
02:26:55,180 --> 02:26:56,120
Good report.

4246
02:26:56,380 --> 02:26:58,220
That's a lot better than anyone else gave

4247
02:26:58,220 --> 02:26:58,460
us.

4248
02:26:58,740 --> 02:27:01,900
Well, at least it's something interesting as opposed

4249
02:27:01,900 --> 02:27:02,720
to...

4250
02:27:03,680 --> 02:27:06,680
It's at least something interesting as opposed to...

4251
02:27:06,680 --> 02:27:08,300
Well, this doesn't make any sense.

4252
02:27:08,860 --> 02:27:09,700
Exactly, exactly.

4253
02:27:10,400 --> 02:27:13,420
Well, let's talk about the NDAA, which has

4254
02:27:13,420 --> 02:27:14,080
got...

4255
02:27:14,440 --> 02:27:17,440
I got these down as WTF clips, so

4256
02:27:17,440 --> 02:27:19,800
there's something fishy in these clips.

4257
02:27:19,960 --> 02:27:23,540
This is about the reauthorization of the...

4258
02:27:23,540 --> 02:27:25,520
National Defense Authorization Act.

4259
02:27:25,600 --> 02:27:25,940
The money.

4260
02:27:26,180 --> 02:27:28,660
It's the trillion-dollar boondoggle we do every

4261
02:27:28,660 --> 02:27:29,360
single year.

4262
02:27:29,720 --> 02:27:33,640
Sometimes we slip something in, like the Smith

4263
02:27:33,640 --> 02:27:34,860
Modernization Act.

4264
02:27:34,940 --> 02:27:36,080
Sometimes it's just money.

4265
02:27:36,080 --> 02:27:38,600
The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year

4266
02:27:38,600 --> 02:27:41,620
2025 is the bill that sets the spending

4267
02:27:41,620 --> 02:27:43,680
priorities for the national defense programs of the

4268
02:27:43,680 --> 02:27:46,260
Department of Defense and the nuclear weapons programs

4269
02:27:46,260 --> 02:27:48,020
within the Department of Energy.

4270
02:27:48,400 --> 02:27:50,400
Now, the House of Representatives passed its version

4271
02:27:50,400 --> 02:27:53,060
of the NDAA back in June with only

4272
02:27:53,060 --> 02:27:55,700
Republican support, and the Senate Armed Services Committee

4273
02:27:55,700 --> 02:27:59,040
also passed its version with broad bipartisan support

4274
02:27:59,040 --> 02:27:59,760
back in June.

4275
02:27:59,880 --> 02:28:02,840
Our colleagues on the Armed Services Committee completed

4276
02:28:02,840 --> 02:28:05,660
their work on the NDAA back in June,

4277
02:28:05,660 --> 02:28:07,620
and they did it with bipartisan support.

4278
02:28:07,760 --> 02:28:09,740
Is this guy still alive, Mitch McConnell?

4279
02:28:09,920 --> 02:28:10,880
Isn't he on the fritz?

4280
02:28:11,340 --> 02:28:12,380
Isn't he fritzing again?

4281
02:28:12,380 --> 02:28:13,260
Well, he's on the fritz.

4282
02:28:14,020 --> 02:28:16,080
I saw him freeze up again the other

4283
02:28:16,080 --> 02:28:16,440
day.

4284
02:28:16,720 --> 02:28:17,500
I have...

4285
02:28:17,500 --> 02:28:18,180
I was...

4286
02:28:18,180 --> 02:28:20,680
He froze up, I think, three times in

4287
02:28:20,680 --> 02:28:21,700
the last couple of weeks.

4288
02:28:22,100 --> 02:28:22,420
And...

4289
02:28:22,420 --> 02:28:23,360
But yet, here he is.

4290
02:28:23,400 --> 02:28:25,880
He's doing important work of helping us pass

4291
02:28:25,880 --> 02:28:27,940
the trillion-dollar budget, so nice.

4292
02:28:28,180 --> 02:28:30,020
They added the legislation off to the Democratic

4293
02:28:30,020 --> 02:28:32,180
leader with months to spare.

4294
02:28:32,540 --> 02:28:34,580
The number one highlight of the product is

4295
02:28:34,580 --> 02:28:36,920
what the chairman mentioned, is the focus on

4296
02:28:36,920 --> 02:28:39,200
quality of life for our service members and

4297
02:28:39,200 --> 02:28:39,800
their families.

4298
02:28:39,980 --> 02:28:42,280
Oh, I'm sure that's the number one priority

4299
02:28:42,280 --> 02:28:44,840
in that thousand pages of bill.

4300
02:28:45,060 --> 02:28:45,520
Mm-hmm.

4301
02:28:45,740 --> 02:28:48,140
And certainly one of the biggest issues was

4302
02:28:48,140 --> 02:28:49,520
pay for junior enlisted.

4303
02:28:50,040 --> 02:28:53,680
We upped that pay by 19.5%. It

4304
02:28:53,680 --> 02:28:55,980
is expected that later this week, congressional leaders

4305
02:28:55,980 --> 02:28:58,880
will unveil their agreement for the NDAA for

4306
02:28:58,880 --> 02:29:00,080
fiscal year 2025.

4307
02:29:00,740 --> 02:29:02,400
And it's also expected that a slew of

4308
02:29:02,400 --> 02:29:04,820
nearly 70 bills that have already passed on

4309
02:29:04,820 --> 02:29:06,280
the House floor and that are meant to

4310
02:29:06,280 --> 02:29:08,280
counter the malign influence of the Chinese Communist

4311
02:29:08,280 --> 02:29:11,640
Party worldwide will be attached to the NDAA

4312
02:29:11,640 --> 02:29:12,940
for fiscal year 2025.

4313
02:29:13,340 --> 02:29:14,260
This cannot continue.

4314
02:29:14,260 --> 02:29:16,500
You can't continue to do business with the

4315
02:29:16,500 --> 02:29:20,460
Communist Chinese Party and not knowing, not realizing

4316
02:29:20,460 --> 02:29:23,620
that there's concentration camps in China where they

4317
02:29:23,620 --> 02:29:24,840
forcibly harvest.

4318
02:29:25,340 --> 02:29:27,460
They take, they cut out the organs of

4319
02:29:27,460 --> 02:29:28,900
the people that they're incarcerating.

4320
02:29:29,260 --> 02:29:30,600
Yes, we want to say something.

4321
02:29:30,700 --> 02:29:31,660
This is unacceptable.

4322
02:29:31,660 --> 02:29:33,320
You must stop it.

4323
02:29:33,420 --> 02:29:35,500
You must be held accountable for these, these

4324
02:29:35,500 --> 02:29:36,140
atrocities.

4325
02:29:36,500 --> 02:29:38,780
That was Republican Congressman Scott Perry from Pennsylvania

4326
02:29:38,780 --> 02:29:41,540
discussing the Falun Gong Protection Act, a bill

4327
02:29:41,540 --> 02:29:43,400
that is expected to be attached to this

4328
02:29:43,400 --> 02:29:47,200
year's National Defense Authorization Act alongside the Biosecure

4329
02:29:47,200 --> 02:29:49,900
Act and other bills designed to counter China

4330
02:29:49,900 --> 02:29:53,140
in the realms of AI, military capabilities, and

4331
02:29:53,140 --> 02:29:54,100
critical infrastructure.

4332
02:29:54,300 --> 02:29:55,360
Ramping it up, baby.

4333
02:29:55,740 --> 02:29:56,440
Getting it ready.

4334
02:29:56,440 --> 02:30:00,000
And what is, WTF comes from the Falun

4335
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:01,980
Gong Protection Act?

4336
02:30:02,100 --> 02:30:03,860
Yeah, we have to protect them because they're

4337
02:30:03,860 --> 02:30:04,560
the good guys.

4338
02:30:04,700 --> 02:30:08,440
They're against our mortal enemies, our new enemy,

4339
02:30:08,600 --> 02:30:09,100
China.

4340
02:30:10,300 --> 02:30:10,820
Yeah.

4341
02:30:12,160 --> 02:30:14,840
Where does Falun Gong hang out besides New

4342
02:30:14,840 --> 02:30:15,140
York?

4343
02:30:16,500 --> 02:30:18,320
Are they in Taiwan by any chance?

4344
02:30:18,760 --> 02:30:20,760
I don't know them to be in Taiwan.

4345
02:30:21,460 --> 02:30:22,500
This mostly, I don't know.

4346
02:30:22,880 --> 02:30:24,780
It's just a strange operation.

4347
02:30:25,300 --> 02:30:26,160
I will say this.

4348
02:30:27,800 --> 02:30:30,220
I'm watching this show, The Agency.

4349
02:30:31,720 --> 02:30:34,060
There was a show a few years ago

4350
02:30:34,780 --> 02:30:37,880
called Berlin Station, which was about a CIA

4351
02:30:37,880 --> 02:30:39,460
operation in the middle of Berlin.

4352
02:30:40,360 --> 02:30:44,560
And The Agency is about a CIA station

4353
02:30:45,200 --> 02:30:46,540
in the middle of London.

4354
02:30:47,860 --> 02:30:49,660
And they go in, there's a million people

4355
02:30:49,660 --> 02:30:50,340
working in there.

4356
02:30:50,420 --> 02:30:52,060
It's like, oh, jeez, what are they all

4357
02:30:52,060 --> 02:30:52,340
doing?

4358
02:30:53,640 --> 02:30:55,840
And so I'm thinking, when I'm watching this,

4359
02:30:55,840 --> 02:30:59,120
wait a minute, don't we make a huge

4360
02:30:59,120 --> 02:31:04,200
fuss about the quote unquote Chinese police stations

4361
02:31:04,820 --> 02:31:07,200
that are in New York and elsewhere, which

4362
02:31:07,200 --> 02:31:08,560
are probably not police.

4363
02:31:08,660 --> 02:31:10,260
I mean, they're the same thing.

4364
02:31:10,400 --> 02:31:14,620
What's the difference between us having a CIA

4365
02:31:14,620 --> 02:31:18,240
station in the middle of Berlin and all

4366
02:31:18,240 --> 02:31:20,940
around the world and the Chinese doing the

4367
02:31:20,940 --> 02:31:21,420
same thing?

4368
02:31:21,460 --> 02:31:22,180
I would like to know.

4369
02:31:23,180 --> 02:31:23,720
I don't know.

4370
02:31:26,060 --> 02:31:27,260
That's a good question.

4371
02:31:27,760 --> 02:31:29,060
You should do some research.

4372
02:31:29,580 --> 02:31:31,120
I'm not going to do any research.

4373
02:31:31,220 --> 02:31:31,760
Chat GPT.

4374
02:31:32,260 --> 02:31:34,360
I want somebody out there listening to this

4375
02:31:34,360 --> 02:31:36,360
show who knows.

4376
02:31:36,500 --> 02:31:38,000
That's the thing about this show, you can

4377
02:31:38,000 --> 02:31:38,400
do that.

4378
02:31:38,500 --> 02:31:39,120
Listen to this.

4379
02:31:39,200 --> 02:31:41,220
The Falun Gong Protection Act.

4380
02:31:41,360 --> 02:31:44,520
This bill requires the president to impose visa

4381
02:31:44,520 --> 02:31:48,720
and property blocking sanctions on foreign persons that

4382
02:31:48,720 --> 02:31:52,480
are knowingly responsible for, are complicit in, or

4383
02:31:52,480 --> 02:31:56,040
have engaged in the involuntary harvesting of organs

4384
02:31:56,040 --> 02:31:56,800
in China.

4385
02:31:57,940 --> 02:32:00,580
The sanction shall not apply to certain activities

4386
02:32:00,580 --> 02:32:03,360
such as authorized U.S. intelligence or law

4387
02:32:03,360 --> 02:32:04,660
enforcement activities.

4388
02:32:05,160 --> 02:32:06,940
So we can harvest, no problem.

4389
02:32:10,100 --> 02:32:12,140
I didn't read it that way, but yeah,

4390
02:32:12,180 --> 02:32:12,720
I guess so.

4391
02:32:12,800 --> 02:32:13,700
That's what I'm reading.

4392
02:32:14,040 --> 02:32:14,920
All right.

4393
02:32:15,100 --> 02:32:15,840
Part two.

4394
02:32:16,140 --> 02:32:17,500
That sounds like some marketing.

4395
02:32:17,800 --> 02:32:19,680
In July of this year, the Bipartisan Commission

4396
02:32:20,040 --> 02:32:22,300
on the National Defense Strategy published its final

4397
02:32:22,300 --> 02:32:22,740
report.

4398
02:32:22,740 --> 02:32:25,720
The commission finds that in many ways, China

4399
02:32:25,720 --> 02:32:29,300
is outpacing the United States and has largely

4400
02:32:29,300 --> 02:32:31,260
negated the U.S. military advantage in the

4401
02:32:31,260 --> 02:32:35,140
Western Pacific through two decades of focused military

4402
02:32:35,140 --> 02:32:35,860
investment.

4403
02:32:35,940 --> 02:32:36,280
We're behind!

4404
02:32:36,440 --> 02:32:38,500
The National Defense Authorization Act of fiscal year

4405
02:32:38,500 --> 02:32:41,940
2025 will authorize the spending of nearly $1

4406
02:32:41,940 --> 02:32:44,020
trillion in government spending.

4407
02:32:44,080 --> 02:32:44,180
Woo!

4408
02:32:44,480 --> 02:32:47,120
Reporting from Washington, D.C., Luis Eduardo Martinez,

4409
02:32:47,700 --> 02:32:48,340
NTV News.

4410
02:32:48,420 --> 02:32:50,680
Okay, I'm going to spend a couple of

4411
02:32:50,680 --> 02:32:53,320
days looking through all the Chinese parts of

4412
02:32:53,320 --> 02:32:55,440
that because this is going to come into

4413
02:32:55,440 --> 02:32:57,200
play during Trump's first year.

4414
02:32:57,580 --> 02:32:58,800
This money's already set.

4415
02:32:58,920 --> 02:33:00,000
It's big, beautiful ships.

4416
02:33:00,120 --> 02:33:01,620
It's going to be space stuff.

4417
02:33:01,860 --> 02:33:02,360
We're behind.

4418
02:33:02,460 --> 02:33:03,060
You just heard it.

4419
02:33:03,340 --> 02:33:04,180
We're behind, people.

4420
02:33:04,440 --> 02:33:05,940
That's why we had to pass this quick

4421
02:33:05,940 --> 02:33:06,740
because we're behind.

4422
02:33:06,840 --> 02:33:07,680
We're behind the Chinese.

4423
02:33:07,860 --> 02:33:11,160
And if that wasn't bad enough, the Chinese

4424
02:33:11,160 --> 02:33:12,560
are everywhere now.

4425
02:33:13,180 --> 02:33:15,600
New details tonight on what's being called one

4426
02:33:15,600 --> 02:33:18,140
of the worst cyber hacks in history with

4427
02:33:18,140 --> 02:33:20,940
federal officials revealing they've been investigating China for

4428
02:33:20,940 --> 02:33:24,100
months after hackers compromised the networks of multiple

4429
02:33:24,100 --> 02:33:26,800
U.S. communications companies and may still be

4430
02:33:26,800 --> 02:33:29,080
lurking in the systems of at least some

4431
02:33:29,080 --> 02:33:29,360
of them.

4432
02:33:29,800 --> 02:33:33,200
FBI and federal cybersecurity officials say these Chinese

4433
02:33:33,200 --> 02:33:37,380
government-affiliated hackers managed to steal records, intercept

4434
02:33:37,380 --> 02:33:40,820
some voice calls, even penetrate the wiretap system

4435
02:33:40,820 --> 02:33:43,340
used by the Justice Department to investigate people

4436
02:33:43,340 --> 02:33:45,320
suspected of crimes or spying.

4437
02:33:45,700 --> 02:33:48,220
Officials say most of the private communication intercepted

4438
02:33:48,220 --> 02:33:50,540
by the hackers involved people affiliated with the

4439
02:33:50,540 --> 02:33:53,340
government or politics, but the access to companies

4440
02:33:53,340 --> 02:33:56,320
like Verizon and AT&T means the communications

4441
02:33:56,320 --> 02:33:58,740
of nearly every American are vulnerable.

4442
02:33:59,220 --> 02:34:00,460
And now a new warning.

4443
02:34:00,620 --> 02:34:00,980
Here we go.

4444
02:34:01,020 --> 02:34:04,020
Be careful what you communicate and use encrypted

4445
02:34:04,020 --> 02:34:05,500
communication when you can.

4446
02:34:05,720 --> 02:34:08,440
Think Signal, WhatsApp, or iMessage.

4447
02:34:08,740 --> 02:34:11,000
Use the stuff that we have access to.

4448
02:34:11,140 --> 02:34:13,560
Blue text bubbles sign what you're saying is

4449
02:34:13,560 --> 02:34:14,000
protected.

4450
02:34:14,260 --> 02:34:17,340
Oh, oh, oh, you need a blue bubble.

4451
02:34:17,460 --> 02:34:18,620
Green bubbles no good.

4452
02:34:18,620 --> 02:34:21,000
Is a warning like that overkill in your

4453
02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:21,220
view?

4454
02:34:21,840 --> 02:34:24,320
I think it's a good standard hygiene practice

4455
02:34:24,320 --> 02:34:27,680
for operating in today's modern technology environment.

4456
02:34:27,840 --> 02:34:29,880
You have to be really mindful again about

4457
02:34:29,880 --> 02:34:32,780
the technology you're using, how it's secured.

4458
02:34:33,220 --> 02:34:36,340
The culprits, officials say, a group called Salt

4459
02:34:36,340 --> 02:34:37,100
Typhoon.

4460
02:34:37,260 --> 02:34:37,800
Salt Typhoon!

4461
02:34:38,360 --> 02:34:40,020
Allegedly behind the hacks of the Trump and

4462
02:34:40,020 --> 02:34:41,780
Harris campaigns before the election.

4463
02:34:42,280 --> 02:34:44,820
Officials even now still trying to understand the

4464
02:34:44,820 --> 02:34:47,340
scale, scope, and timeline of this hack.

4465
02:34:47,340 --> 02:34:51,320
We have to understand that the digital connectivity

4466
02:34:51,320 --> 02:34:53,620
that we all rely on, that we benefit

4467
02:34:53,620 --> 02:34:56,520
from economically, can also be used against us.

4468
02:34:56,940 --> 02:35:00,700
The coincidence of this in this next clip

4469
02:35:00,700 --> 02:35:02,380
is not lost on me.

4470
02:35:02,560 --> 02:35:05,320
We talked about this on the last show

4471
02:35:05,320 --> 02:35:07,880
that I was having trouble with the new

4472
02:35:07,880 --> 02:35:11,540
iPhones with my Android-based phone with text

4473
02:35:11,540 --> 02:35:12,000
messaging.

4474
02:35:12,180 --> 02:35:16,960
Text messages wouldn't show up and it was

4475
02:35:16,960 --> 02:35:21,060
reproducible sometimes, which is kind of not the

4476
02:35:21,060 --> 02:35:23,760
definition of reproducible, but it would happen frequently

4477
02:35:23,760 --> 02:35:27,580
only with people who use iMessage and the

4478
02:35:27,580 --> 02:35:32,420
brand new iPhones with my S22 Cat, Android

4479
02:35:32,420 --> 02:35:36,160
Go-based bubble flip phone, green bubble flip

4480
02:35:36,160 --> 02:35:36,440
phone.

4481
02:35:37,000 --> 02:35:39,320
So then there's this warning, which is a

4482
02:35:39,320 --> 02:35:40,480
follow-on to that.

4483
02:35:40,600 --> 02:35:43,860
The FBI is warning about texting between iPhones

4484
02:35:43,860 --> 02:35:47,600
and Androids because those messages aren't fully secure.

4485
02:35:48,240 --> 02:35:51,120
Unlike iPhone-to-iPhone or Android-to-Android

4486
02:35:51,120 --> 02:35:54,820
chats, which are encrypted, cross-platform texts can

4487
02:35:54,820 --> 02:35:56,280
be intercepted by hackers.

4488
02:35:56,860 --> 02:36:00,980
Apple's version of RCS, Rich Communication Services, a

4489
02:36:00,980 --> 02:36:04,180
messaging upgrade, doesn't have end-to-end encryption

4490
02:36:04,180 --> 02:36:05,360
for these texts yet.

4491
02:36:05,800 --> 02:36:08,640
To keep your chats safe, use encrypted apps

4492
02:36:08,640 --> 02:36:10,860
like WhatsApp or Telegram.

4493
02:36:10,860 --> 02:36:14,220
These apps encrypt your messages, making them unreadable

4494
02:36:14,220 --> 02:36:16,400
to hackers, even if intercepted.

4495
02:36:16,780 --> 02:36:19,720
WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption by default,

4496
02:36:20,180 --> 02:36:22,920
ensuring only you and the recipient can read

4497
02:36:22,920 --> 02:36:23,460
the messages.

4498
02:36:24,180 --> 02:36:27,980
Telegram offers secret chats with added privacy features

4499
02:36:27,980 --> 02:36:29,640
like self-destructing messages.

4500
02:36:30,240 --> 02:36:33,980
Both apps prioritize security, making them harder for

4501
02:36:33,980 --> 02:36:37,180
hackers to access compared to standard text messages

4502
02:36:37,180 --> 02:36:39,800
between iOS and Android devices.

4503
02:36:39,800 --> 02:36:42,800
And if your friend refuses to switch, just

4504
02:36:42,800 --> 02:36:45,420
say, do it for our safety, or I'll

4505
02:36:45,420 --> 02:36:46,400
stop texting you.

4506
02:36:47,240 --> 02:36:50,280
Sometimes security means tough love.

4507
02:36:51,120 --> 02:36:53,640
Sometimes security means tough love.

4508
02:36:53,900 --> 02:36:54,780
Okay, Fed.

4509
02:36:54,880 --> 02:36:56,240
What kind of tough love?

4510
02:36:56,300 --> 02:36:58,000
Well, let me stop for a minute.

4511
02:36:58,280 --> 02:37:01,260
Give it one piece of thought here.

4512
02:37:02,240 --> 02:37:05,820
So I'm texting you about, we're going to

4513
02:37:05,820 --> 02:37:09,000
start the show at 11.05 because I

4514
02:37:09,000 --> 02:37:12,580
have to go get, just something like that.

4515
02:37:13,260 --> 02:37:15,260
But I should, you should say to me,

4516
02:37:15,360 --> 02:37:15,620
no.

4517
02:37:16,120 --> 02:37:16,380
No.

4518
02:37:17,500 --> 02:37:20,060
Don't be texting me stuff like that, that's

4519
02:37:20,060 --> 02:37:24,000
kind of important information, like I'll meet you

4520
02:37:24,000 --> 02:37:27,000
at three because of the tough love thing

4521
02:37:27,000 --> 02:37:27,300
here.

4522
02:37:27,480 --> 02:37:28,740
What are they talking about?

4523
02:37:28,880 --> 02:37:30,820
Is everybody like a bunch of spooks out

4524
02:37:30,820 --> 02:37:33,000
there that they have to protect every stupid

4525
02:37:33,000 --> 02:37:34,920
message and say, oh, hi, honey.

4526
02:37:35,360 --> 02:37:36,080
How you doing?

4527
02:37:36,260 --> 02:37:37,780
Oh, I miss you.

4528
02:37:37,780 --> 02:37:39,220
I miss you, miss you, miss you.

4529
02:37:39,780 --> 02:37:42,200
Oh, you better secure that.

4530
02:37:42,720 --> 02:37:44,940
Okay, here's what I think is going on.

4531
02:37:46,640 --> 02:37:49,620
So if you text between an Android phone

4532
02:37:49,620 --> 02:37:51,940
and an iMessage, it goes through the short

4533
02:37:51,940 --> 02:37:54,820
messaging system cell phone based network.

4534
02:37:55,640 --> 02:37:57,460
That requires warrants.

4535
02:37:57,580 --> 02:37:58,560
It's a pain in the butt.

4536
02:37:58,680 --> 02:37:59,960
You got to get into the system.

4537
02:38:00,180 --> 02:38:01,580
You got to go call the guy.

4538
02:38:01,680 --> 02:38:03,120
You got to go file some forms.

4539
02:38:03,860 --> 02:38:08,700
If it's Telegram or WhatsApp, that's much easier.

4540
02:38:11,200 --> 02:38:12,480
Or Signal.

4541
02:38:12,820 --> 02:38:14,980
I'm pretty sure they're in those systems.

4542
02:38:15,980 --> 02:38:17,720
That's why they're recommending it.

4543
02:38:18,080 --> 02:38:19,540
Now, you heard RCS.

4544
02:38:19,860 --> 02:38:24,180
RCS is the new standard that Europe forced

4545
02:38:24,180 --> 02:38:28,200
Apple to comply to so that we both

4546
02:38:28,200 --> 02:38:31,900
have all the awesome features of iMessage, which

4547
02:38:31,900 --> 02:38:33,680
is like, oh, I can see when someone's

4548
02:38:33,680 --> 02:38:34,000
typing.

4549
02:38:34,000 --> 02:38:36,900
I can see if someone read the message.

4550
02:38:38,500 --> 02:38:39,840
That's not new.

4551
02:38:40,380 --> 02:38:44,360
No, but to do it between Android phones

4552
02:38:44,360 --> 02:38:48,320
and iPhones, the European Union forced Apple to

4553
02:38:48,320 --> 02:38:50,240
move to this RCS standard.

4554
02:38:50,860 --> 02:38:54,020
The RCS standard is something that is registered

4555
02:38:54,020 --> 02:38:56,700
and goes through, again, your cell phone network.

4556
02:38:56,960 --> 02:38:58,280
They don't want you using it.

4557
02:38:58,480 --> 02:38:59,700
Oh, that's insecure.

4558
02:38:59,960 --> 02:39:01,620
By the way, you can totally encrypt that

4559
02:39:01,620 --> 02:39:02,280
on both sides.

4560
02:39:02,280 --> 02:39:03,860
Oh, that's not good.

4561
02:39:03,940 --> 02:39:06,100
The Chinese might read about your 3 p

4562
02:39:06,100 --> 02:39:06,720
.m. appointment.

4563
02:39:06,940 --> 02:39:09,740
They want you to continue to use WhatsApp

4564
02:39:09,740 --> 02:39:12,340
and all these other systems that don't use

4565
02:39:12,340 --> 02:39:14,520
the SMS text messaging system.

4566
02:39:14,660 --> 02:39:16,560
It screams that to me.

4567
02:39:16,880 --> 02:39:17,500
These are the feds.

4568
02:39:18,020 --> 02:39:19,680
I don't use any of these things.

4569
02:39:19,800 --> 02:39:21,100
I mean, you know, I use very simple

4570
02:39:21,100 --> 02:39:24,360
stuff, and it's what it sounds like to

4571
02:39:24,360 --> 02:39:24,700
me, too.

4572
02:39:24,940 --> 02:39:29,920
And why are they promoting WhatsApp to such

4573
02:39:29,920 --> 02:39:31,480
an extreme unless it's compromised?

4574
02:39:31,480 --> 02:39:32,520
It's Facebook.

4575
02:39:33,200 --> 02:39:34,680
It has to be compromised.

4576
02:39:35,380 --> 02:39:35,680
Yes.

4577
02:39:37,780 --> 02:39:40,500
And Telegram, if you know about that, Pavel

4578
02:39:40,500 --> 02:39:43,640
said, all right, well, you know, we'll be

4579
02:39:43,640 --> 02:39:44,940
on the lookout for people who are up

4580
02:39:44,940 --> 02:39:45,580
to no good.

4581
02:39:45,700 --> 02:39:46,720
We'll help you out there.

4582
02:39:46,920 --> 02:39:47,840
They arrested the guy.

4583
02:39:49,420 --> 02:39:50,120
They did.

4584
02:39:50,320 --> 02:39:53,000
And Signal, well, the lady now at NPR

4585
02:39:53,000 --> 02:39:55,020
used to run Signal, so I'm sorry.

4586
02:39:55,180 --> 02:39:57,240
I don't trust any of these systems, not

4587
02:39:57,240 --> 02:39:58,340
for anything secure.

4588
02:39:58,900 --> 02:40:01,980
I use PGP encryption on my email.

4589
02:40:03,620 --> 02:40:05,960
Works with ProtonMail, by the way, out of

4590
02:40:05,960 --> 02:40:06,440
the box.

4591
02:40:09,370 --> 02:40:09,750
But yeah.

4592
02:40:10,090 --> 02:40:11,370
Yeah, I don't know, man.

4593
02:40:11,390 --> 02:40:11,810
I don't know.

4594
02:40:14,270 --> 02:40:17,050
I have one more thing here.

4595
02:40:18,550 --> 02:40:19,530
Yeah, actually, two things.

4596
02:40:20,050 --> 02:40:24,330
So this story about the stowaway who wanted

4597
02:40:24,330 --> 02:40:28,410
to go to France, you heard about this?

4598
02:40:28,410 --> 02:40:31,290
The lady who snuck onto a Delta flight.

4599
02:40:31,550 --> 02:40:32,470
I think it was Delta flight.

4600
02:40:32,670 --> 02:40:34,850
I have no knowledge of this.

4601
02:40:35,130 --> 02:40:37,130
Oh, and then she was, and then, you

4602
02:40:37,130 --> 02:40:38,370
know, they're going to ship her back and

4603
02:40:38,370 --> 02:40:40,110
she's screaming like, I don't want to go

4604
02:40:40,110 --> 02:40:40,950
back to America.

4605
02:40:41,150 --> 02:40:43,270
I'm like, what is this story just kept

4606
02:40:43,270 --> 02:40:45,730
coming back, kept coming back, kept coming back.

4607
02:40:46,170 --> 02:40:48,010
And of course, what's interesting is why does

4608
02:40:48,010 --> 02:40:50,270
this Russian lady who has a U.S.

4609
02:40:50,370 --> 02:40:53,030
visa not want to be in America?

4610
02:40:53,190 --> 02:40:54,410
She snuck onto a flight.

4611
02:40:55,030 --> 02:40:57,410
I guess she has no money because she

4612
02:40:57,410 --> 02:41:02,410
wanted to request asylum in France and France

4613
02:41:02,410 --> 02:41:04,810
went, no, we have enough problems here.

4614
02:41:05,110 --> 02:41:06,110
And they sent her back.

4615
02:41:06,210 --> 02:41:08,750
So finally, the story starts to unfold.

4616
02:41:08,890 --> 02:41:10,890
I'm like, oh, maybe this is what it's

4617
02:41:10,890 --> 02:41:11,130
about.

4618
02:41:11,230 --> 02:41:12,350
Listen to this report.

4619
02:41:12,550 --> 02:41:15,450
New video of a suspected stowaway on her

4620
02:41:15,450 --> 02:41:18,330
way to France from New York's JFK International

4621
02:41:18,330 --> 02:41:18,990
Airport.

4622
02:41:21,630 --> 02:41:24,890
The footage showing a Delta crew member questioning

4623
02:41:24,890 --> 02:41:27,510
the woman after she allegedly snuck onto the

4624
02:41:27,510 --> 02:41:29,510
plane last week without a ticket.

4625
02:41:29,810 --> 02:41:32,390
She took 10 minutes to just tumble her

4626
02:41:32,390 --> 02:41:35,350
bags to find a boarding pass, which she

4627
02:41:35,350 --> 02:41:36,890
did not have at all.

4628
02:41:37,270 --> 02:41:39,870
She allegedly went through security at JFK but

4629
02:41:39,870 --> 02:41:42,810
never showed ID and boarded without a ticket.

4630
02:41:43,170 --> 02:41:45,450
Passengers say she tried to avoid detection on

4631
02:41:45,450 --> 02:41:47,610
the full flight by going from one bathroom

4632
02:41:47,610 --> 02:41:50,130
to another without ever taking a seat.

4633
02:41:50,430 --> 02:41:52,450
Authorities say the woman is a Russian national

4634
02:41:52,450 --> 02:41:54,870
and a legal resident of the U.S.

4635
02:41:54,870 --> 02:41:57,750
According to French authorities, she was not admitted

4636
02:41:57,750 --> 02:41:59,930
into French territory due to a lack of

4637
02:41:59,930 --> 02:42:02,790
a valid travel document or visa and was

4638
02:42:02,790 --> 02:42:05,390
placed in a waiting area for her rerouting

4639
02:42:05,390 --> 02:42:07,450
to the United States since she had a

4640
02:42:07,450 --> 02:42:09,210
valid U.S. residence permit.

4641
02:42:09,370 --> 02:42:12,030
Days later, officials struggled as they tried to

4642
02:42:12,030 --> 02:42:13,590
send her back to the U.S. on

4643
02:42:13,590 --> 02:42:14,990
another Delta flight.

4644
02:42:15,230 --> 02:42:18,610
She got belligerent, so then more stewardess came

4645
02:42:18,610 --> 02:42:20,750
in to try to restrain her.

4646
02:42:20,850 --> 02:42:23,370
And that's when everything started to escalate.

4647
02:42:23,370 --> 02:42:25,790
The woman was removed from the flight and

4648
02:42:25,790 --> 02:42:27,050
remained in France.

4649
02:42:27,250 --> 02:42:29,390
The big question is how did she allegedly

4650
02:42:29,390 --> 02:42:32,530
go through security at JFK without showing ID

4651
02:42:32,530 --> 02:42:34,370
and boarded without a ticket?

4652
02:42:34,810 --> 02:42:37,430
TSA is preparing a civil case against the

4653
02:42:37,430 --> 02:42:39,870
woman and Delta Airlines is investigating.

4654
02:42:40,350 --> 02:42:42,090
It is unclear if she will face any

4655
02:42:42,090 --> 02:42:42,550
charges.

4656
02:42:42,870 --> 02:42:44,330
So it was that end bit where they

4657
02:42:44,330 --> 02:42:47,150
say the big question, the big question is

4658
02:42:47,150 --> 02:42:48,610
how does she get out of the airplane?

4659
02:42:48,850 --> 02:42:49,190
No.

4660
02:42:49,770 --> 02:42:52,250
My question is what is this woman about?

4661
02:42:52,250 --> 02:42:54,690
Why didn't she just buy a ticket?

4662
02:42:54,890 --> 02:42:57,650
Why does she want to request asylum?

4663
02:42:57,750 --> 02:42:59,930
But no, the big question is how did

4664
02:42:59,930 --> 02:43:00,550
she get on?

4665
02:43:01,070 --> 02:43:02,910
And then I remembered I had a report

4666
02:43:02,910 --> 02:43:04,610
from November 22nd.

4667
02:43:05,050 --> 02:43:08,070
A bipartisan group of 12 senators has urged

4668
02:43:08,070 --> 02:43:12,050
the TSA Inspector General to investigate the agency's

4669
02:43:12,050 --> 02:43:16,390
use of facial recognition, which has been rampant.

4670
02:43:16,770 --> 02:43:18,910
Every single airport in America that I've been

4671
02:43:18,910 --> 02:43:20,970
to, and I've been to a few, but

4672
02:43:20,970 --> 02:43:23,950
everyone I've spoken to, it's all facial recognition.

4673
02:43:24,230 --> 02:43:25,830
And it says, oh, you don't have to

4674
02:43:25,830 --> 02:43:26,130
do this.

4675
02:43:26,210 --> 02:43:27,230
This is just a test.

4676
02:43:27,270 --> 02:43:28,930
But meanwhile, everyone's like, you know, whatever.

4677
02:43:29,370 --> 02:43:30,090
I'm good.

4678
02:43:30,150 --> 02:43:31,450
I'm doing the facial recognition.

4679
02:43:31,710 --> 02:43:35,110
So there's this bipartisan group of 12 senators,

4680
02:43:35,230 --> 02:43:36,990
some heavy hitters in their crews, of course,

4681
02:43:37,110 --> 02:43:39,730
but, you know, some Elizabeth Warren, and they

4682
02:43:39,730 --> 02:43:40,290
don't want it.

4683
02:43:40,350 --> 02:43:41,370
They want this to stop.

4684
02:43:41,470 --> 02:43:43,090
And I think that this is a setup

4685
02:43:43,090 --> 02:43:45,810
for them to say, well, you know, this

4686
02:43:45,810 --> 02:43:47,150
lady snuck onto the plane.

4687
02:43:47,210 --> 02:43:48,010
It could have done anything.

4688
02:43:48,090 --> 02:43:49,270
We need facial recognition.

4689
02:43:49,950 --> 02:43:51,650
I think that's what you see come out

4690
02:43:51,650 --> 02:43:51,990
of this.

4691
02:43:52,030 --> 02:43:53,010
That's an interesting thesis.

4692
02:43:53,250 --> 02:43:54,590
That's what I think is coming out of

4693
02:43:54,590 --> 02:43:55,010
this.

4694
02:43:56,590 --> 02:43:59,090
And it really is such an invasion that

4695
02:43:59,090 --> 02:44:01,530
they just throw this stuff up and, you

4696
02:44:01,530 --> 02:44:02,770
know, they say, oh, you can opt out

4697
02:44:02,770 --> 02:44:04,710
if you want to stand over here.

4698
02:44:05,330 --> 02:44:06,510
That's how it goes now.

4699
02:44:06,830 --> 02:44:08,330
Oh, you don't want to do facial recognition?

4700
02:44:08,550 --> 02:44:09,470
Stand over here.

4701
02:44:10,110 --> 02:44:10,930
And they make you wait.

4702
02:44:11,150 --> 02:44:13,130
It's just like the naked body scanner, same

4703
02:44:13,130 --> 02:44:13,450
thing.

4704
02:44:14,590 --> 02:44:18,450
And then my final clip is from a

4705
02:44:18,450 --> 02:44:21,750
compatriot from a colleague of mine who is

4706
02:44:21,750 --> 02:44:25,530
against the artificial intelligence hype.

4707
02:44:27,090 --> 02:44:29,950
And he does the primetime podcast.

4708
02:44:30,890 --> 02:44:33,010
And he made such a good point on

4709
02:44:33,010 --> 02:44:36,330
his podcast about artificial intelligence that I wanted

4710
02:44:36,330 --> 02:44:37,430
to share it with the group.

4711
02:44:37,990 --> 02:44:38,930
Hear me out here.

4712
02:44:39,150 --> 02:44:42,370
If these AIs were really that great, they're

4713
02:44:42,370 --> 02:44:44,770
so great that they actually were AGI.

4714
02:44:44,950 --> 02:44:45,770
They're able to learn.

4715
02:44:45,850 --> 02:44:46,850
They're able to grow better.

4716
02:44:46,910 --> 02:44:48,550
As Sam Altman once said, we're only a

4717
02:44:48,550 --> 02:44:50,290
couple thousand days away from it.

4718
02:44:50,450 --> 02:44:51,870
Bitch, that's like 10 years.

4719
02:44:52,270 --> 02:44:52,650
Anyways.

4720
02:44:52,970 --> 02:44:54,710
Also, that's a crazy way to say that.

4721
02:44:55,050 --> 02:44:57,410
Who describes time windows in days?

4722
02:44:57,510 --> 02:44:59,730
Like, oh yeah, it's just like 3,600

4723
02:44:59,730 --> 02:45:00,450
days away.

4724
02:45:00,970 --> 02:45:01,550
10 years.

4725
02:45:01,610 --> 02:45:03,010
You can just say 10 years and no

4726
02:45:03,010 --> 02:45:04,470
one's upset at you, Samuel.

4727
02:45:06,010 --> 02:45:06,890
It's strange.

4728
02:45:07,130 --> 02:45:08,810
But anyways, but even if these companies do

4729
02:45:08,810 --> 02:45:11,290
produce something that actually can really produce good

4730
02:45:11,290 --> 02:45:13,210
code, you just got to understand something.

4731
02:45:13,210 --> 02:45:17,430
Why would a company sell a product that

4732
02:45:17,430 --> 02:45:18,450
can build anything?

4733
02:45:19,090 --> 02:45:21,910
Why wouldn't they just harbor those trade secrets

4734
02:45:21,910 --> 02:45:23,650
and build everything?

4735
02:45:24,370 --> 02:45:24,550
Right?

4736
02:45:24,630 --> 02:45:28,190
Like why would you sell the infinite intelligence

4737
02:45:28,190 --> 02:45:28,610
tool?

4738
02:45:29,070 --> 02:45:30,390
Think about it for a couple.

4739
02:45:30,450 --> 02:45:31,870
It makes no sense.

4740
02:45:31,930 --> 02:45:33,630
Like you would be able to compete with

4741
02:45:33,630 --> 02:45:36,630
every product and start company after company after

4742
02:45:36,630 --> 02:45:39,710
company after company over and over again.

4743
02:45:39,930 --> 02:45:42,690
Having super AI would be the most valuable

4744
02:45:42,690 --> 02:45:43,630
thing in the universe.

4745
02:45:43,870 --> 02:45:46,630
So why ever would they just simply sell

4746
02:45:46,630 --> 02:45:46,850
it?

4747
02:45:47,430 --> 02:45:49,350
They wouldn't because they'd be able to make

4748
02:45:49,350 --> 02:45:50,070
everything.

4749
02:45:50,390 --> 02:45:51,470
I love that.

4750
02:45:52,170 --> 02:45:52,790
I do too.

4751
02:45:53,050 --> 02:45:53,250
Yeah.

4752
02:45:53,370 --> 02:45:54,510
Why wouldn't you just keep it?

4753
02:45:54,590 --> 02:45:56,390
If it's so good at coding and you

4754
02:45:56,390 --> 02:46:00,370
can create every single product, just put in

4755
02:46:00,370 --> 02:46:00,950
some stuff there.

4756
02:46:01,030 --> 02:46:04,530
Give me a new spreadsheet program.

4757
02:46:04,730 --> 02:46:05,310
It would be great.

4758
02:46:06,050 --> 02:46:06,170
Yeah.

4759
02:46:06,970 --> 02:46:08,950
And you could tell not to copy any

4760
02:46:08,950 --> 02:46:11,150
of the other code that's already been used

4761
02:46:11,150 --> 02:46:12,270
so they can't get sued.

4762
02:46:12,270 --> 02:46:12,730
What do you mean?

4763
02:46:12,770 --> 02:46:13,410
It's all copied.

4764
02:46:13,810 --> 02:46:14,770
That's all they have.

4765
02:46:15,070 --> 02:46:16,250
Well, I mean, there are certain.

4766
02:46:16,610 --> 02:46:17,890
What are you eating?

4767
02:46:18,630 --> 02:46:19,110
I'm sorry.

4768
02:46:19,170 --> 02:46:20,010
I'm having a lozenge.

4769
02:46:20,190 --> 02:46:21,630
You want me to cough?

4770
02:46:22,790 --> 02:46:23,250
Well, you do.

4771
02:46:24,110 --> 02:46:24,830
Just asking.

4772
02:46:25,990 --> 02:46:26,450
I didn't know.

4773
02:46:26,550 --> 02:46:27,710
I said, what are you eating?

4774
02:46:28,150 --> 02:46:29,070
Now I have to snap.

4775
02:46:29,650 --> 02:46:30,790
I mean, you made me snap.

4776
02:46:31,250 --> 02:46:32,050
Okay, boom.

4777
02:46:32,150 --> 02:46:33,250
I was looking for that one.

4778
02:46:33,570 --> 02:46:33,770
Good one.

4779
02:46:33,790 --> 02:46:35,930
No, I think you're completely correct here.

4780
02:46:36,070 --> 02:46:37,970
This is, or that guy is.

4781
02:46:38,030 --> 02:46:38,490
Yeah, noob.

4782
02:46:38,610 --> 02:46:39,150
With this theory.

4783
02:46:39,310 --> 02:46:39,610
Yes.

4784
02:46:40,290 --> 02:46:42,950
That's, you know, I don't want to use,

4785
02:46:43,110 --> 02:46:45,570
I don't want to use Facebook.

4786
02:46:45,750 --> 02:46:46,590
Make me a Facebook.

4787
02:46:48,730 --> 02:46:49,770
I love that guy.

4788
02:46:50,570 --> 02:46:52,530
Make me a, you know, yeah.

4789
02:46:53,050 --> 02:46:53,910
It does art.

4790
02:46:54,350 --> 02:46:56,510
Yeah, really well too.

4791
02:46:56,690 --> 02:46:58,530
Not God's art like you say, but I'm

4792
02:46:58,530 --> 02:46:58,650
sorry.

4793
02:46:58,730 --> 02:46:59,770
Oh, there it is.

4794
02:46:59,870 --> 02:47:00,770
No, I didn't say God.

4795
02:47:04,730 --> 02:47:05,910
Waited for a half hour.

4796
02:47:15,370 --> 02:47:16,430
That's all right, John.

4797
02:47:16,850 --> 02:47:18,910
You will reap what you sow.

4798
02:47:21,570 --> 02:47:23,890
I'm going to reap half of what I

4799
02:47:23,890 --> 02:47:24,210
sow.

4800
02:47:24,790 --> 02:47:25,210
Yes.

4801
02:47:25,310 --> 02:47:27,250
In so far as these donations are concerned,

4802
02:47:27,310 --> 02:47:28,750
which are low today again.

4803
02:47:29,130 --> 02:47:31,330
Well, for Thursday, you know, we only have

4804
02:47:31,330 --> 02:47:34,690
total 34 donors for the segment.

4805
02:47:35,030 --> 02:47:36,710
And it's not, I don't know what to

4806
02:47:36,710 --> 02:47:37,270
say, man.

4807
02:47:37,390 --> 02:47:38,490
I don't know what to say.

4808
02:47:39,050 --> 02:47:40,710
Beth Elliot starts us off.

4809
02:47:40,870 --> 02:47:41,610
That's what you can say.

4810
02:47:41,890 --> 02:47:42,210
All right.

4811
02:47:42,570 --> 02:47:43,810
She's in Corrytown, Tennessee.

4812
02:47:43,970 --> 02:47:46,950
Comes in with 133.69. Brian Newman in

4813
02:47:46,950 --> 02:47:47,490
Yankton.

4814
02:47:48,230 --> 02:47:49,990
Yankton, South Dakota.

4815
02:47:53,470 --> 02:47:56,750
His name, he says, Kyle Tack.

4816
02:47:58,050 --> 02:47:59,530
Tack, as he loves that.

4817
02:47:59,610 --> 02:48:00,790
Introduce me to new agenda.

4818
02:48:00,990 --> 02:48:01,930
He's my favorite, blah, blah, blah.

4819
02:48:02,030 --> 02:48:02,930
Does he get a car?

4820
02:48:03,110 --> 02:48:03,530
No.

4821
02:48:04,050 --> 02:48:04,290
Okay.

4822
02:48:04,410 --> 02:48:05,750
There's a biscuit for his birthday, maybe.

4823
02:48:06,210 --> 02:48:07,410
Happy birthday, Kyle.

4824
02:48:07,410 --> 02:48:09,070
Oh, I wasn't ready with the biscuit.

4825
02:48:09,170 --> 02:48:09,810
Hold on a second.

4826
02:48:09,930 --> 02:48:10,550
I don't blame you.

4827
02:48:10,650 --> 02:48:11,650
Yeah, but I got a biscuit.

4828
02:48:11,850 --> 02:48:13,370
I always have a biscuit somewhere.

4829
02:48:13,470 --> 02:48:15,270
They always give me a biscuit on my

4830
02:48:15,270 --> 02:48:15,550
birthday.

4831
02:48:15,550 --> 02:48:16,130
There's your biscuit.

4832
02:48:17,390 --> 02:48:18,990
$111.11 from him.

4833
02:48:20,530 --> 02:48:22,990
Baron Surfer, S-I-R-F-E-R,

4834
02:48:23,130 --> 02:48:24,410
in Shasta Lake.

4835
02:48:26,530 --> 02:48:30,450
$100.33. Baron Latican, there he is, in

4836
02:48:30,450 --> 02:48:31,250
Houston, Texas.

4837
02:48:31,370 --> 02:48:32,050
Remember him?

4838
02:48:32,370 --> 02:48:32,830
$100.

4839
02:48:33,350 --> 02:48:34,270
You member him.

4840
02:48:34,390 --> 02:48:34,690
Member?

4841
02:48:34,870 --> 02:48:36,370
John Robinet, $100.

4842
02:48:36,370 --> 02:48:39,570
Kevin McLaughlin is up there already at $8008.

4843
02:48:39,670 --> 02:48:42,090
He's the Archduke of Luna, lover of America

4844
02:48:42,090 --> 02:48:42,610
and boobs.

4845
02:48:43,090 --> 02:48:46,390
Eric Adler in Punta Gorda, Florida, $8008.

4846
02:48:47,510 --> 02:48:49,890
This set of boobs makes me a baron,

4847
02:48:49,930 --> 02:48:50,430
he writes.

4848
02:48:50,570 --> 02:48:50,970
All right.

4849
02:48:55,400 --> 02:48:59,080
William Arcand in Bedford, New Hampshire, $77.70.

4850
02:48:59,980 --> 02:49:02,980
Baron Sir Lineman of the Net in Anna,

4851
02:49:03,300 --> 02:49:06,600
Illinois, $56.78. It was a happy birthday

4852
02:49:06,600 --> 02:49:07,620
call to Josie.

4853
02:49:09,790 --> 02:49:13,230
Sir Dre in Noorn, Holland.

4854
02:49:13,870 --> 02:49:14,570
Is that right?

4855
02:49:14,870 --> 02:49:15,330
Doorn.

4856
02:49:15,450 --> 02:49:15,810
Doorn.

4857
02:49:16,010 --> 02:49:19,770
Yeah, this is another one on behalf of

4858
02:49:19,770 --> 02:49:21,590
Sir Dre, the knight of the empty PayPal,

4859
02:49:22,070 --> 02:49:23,370
who has the broken brain.

4860
02:49:23,970 --> 02:49:26,630
And that's why he donated $22.22 on

4861
02:49:26,630 --> 02:49:28,690
his request, asked for a health karma, adding

4862
02:49:28,690 --> 02:49:31,970
$33.33 to level it and cover the

4863
02:49:31,970 --> 02:49:32,850
PayPal costs.

4864
02:49:32,970 --> 02:49:34,510
Sir Dre, the knight of the empty PayPal

4865
02:49:34,510 --> 02:49:37,250
and the broken brain, perseveres and promotes the

4866
02:49:37,250 --> 02:49:39,690
No Agenda formula among the staff of the

4867
02:49:39,690 --> 02:49:43,210
Recovery Center and Rehabilitation Center in Groesbeek.

4868
02:49:43,710 --> 02:49:45,290
He is proud to mention he has already

4869
02:49:45,290 --> 02:49:47,710
hit some nice nurses and therapists in the

4870
02:49:47,710 --> 02:49:47,970
mouth.

4871
02:49:49,490 --> 02:49:51,410
And we have a slogan here, listening to

4872
02:49:51,410 --> 02:49:53,710
the No Agenda podcast keeps you sane and

4873
02:49:53,710 --> 02:49:55,430
ensures that you don't lose the half of

4874
02:49:55,430 --> 02:49:56,330
the brain that's left.

4875
02:49:57,850 --> 02:49:59,310
That's from a goose cadaver.

4876
02:49:59,510 --> 02:49:59,850
You snorted.

4877
02:50:00,070 --> 02:50:00,490
I did.

4878
02:50:00,810 --> 02:50:01,510
I did.

4879
02:50:02,230 --> 02:50:02,710
Wow.

4880
02:50:03,070 --> 02:50:03,550
All right.

4881
02:50:03,550 --> 02:50:05,270
That's a first.

4882
02:50:05,570 --> 02:50:05,890
Maybe.

4883
02:50:06,710 --> 02:50:09,390
Brian Furley in 50, uh, in 50.

4884
02:50:09,910 --> 02:50:11,990
Yes, he's in 5510.

4885
02:50:13,290 --> 02:50:16,770
Heather Harper in Lubbock, Lubbock, Lubbock, Texas, 5330.

4886
02:50:16,810 --> 02:50:18,270
How far is Lubbock from you?

4887
02:50:18,830 --> 02:50:20,670
Uh, that's not close.

4888
02:50:20,870 --> 02:50:22,430
Lubbock's quite a ways away.

4889
02:50:23,150 --> 02:50:24,830
Michael Gates, 5280.

4890
02:50:26,810 --> 02:50:32,750
Stefan Trockels in Sust, Deutschland, 5280.

4891
02:50:33,690 --> 02:50:37,710
Uh, you talk about Uber's peak pricing in

4892
02:50:37,710 --> 02:50:38,730
New Year's.

4893
02:50:38,730 --> 02:50:40,650
5X, 10X, too many X.

4894
02:50:41,890 --> 02:50:43,530
I have no idea what that's about.

4895
02:50:43,550 --> 02:50:43,930
I don't know.

4896
02:50:43,990 --> 02:50:44,830
He's rambling.

4897
02:50:45,650 --> 02:50:47,470
Another Mike Benz on our hands.

4898
02:50:47,970 --> 02:50:53,350
John Balsano in Madison, Alabama, 5272.

4899
02:50:54,230 --> 02:50:56,390
Um, hold on a second.

4900
02:50:56,570 --> 02:50:57,070
There we go.

4901
02:50:57,670 --> 02:51:01,910
Roger Keese in Holland, Michigan, 5272.

4902
02:51:01,910 --> 02:51:04,470
Sir DH Slammer, haven't heard from him for

4903
02:51:04,470 --> 02:51:04,690
a while.

4904
02:51:04,810 --> 02:51:08,890
He's in Buellton, California, 5271.

4905
02:51:09,110 --> 02:51:11,070
He says he's not overboard, just hanging out

4906
02:51:11,070 --> 02:51:11,690
in the galley.

4907
02:51:12,210 --> 02:51:12,970
All right.

4908
02:51:13,130 --> 02:51:16,450
Buster Birch is New York City, and he

4909
02:51:16,450 --> 02:51:17,510
comes in with a 50.

4910
02:51:17,610 --> 02:51:18,970
These are all 50s now, and I'm going

4911
02:51:18,970 --> 02:51:20,630
to just do the name and location.

4912
02:51:21,350 --> 02:51:23,750
Daniel LaBoie in Bath, Michigan.

4913
02:51:24,630 --> 02:51:27,010
Matt Frazee in St. John's, Florida.

4914
02:51:27,930 --> 02:51:30,270
James Scharametta in Nappanock, New York.

4915
02:51:30,270 --> 02:51:35,710
Michael Chauvin, PLC, in Saginaw, Michigan.

4916
02:51:36,170 --> 02:51:38,150
Chris Conaker in Anchorage.

4917
02:51:38,970 --> 02:51:41,950
Alex Zavala in Kyle, Texas, or Kylie?

4918
02:51:43,110 --> 02:51:43,510
Kyle.

4919
02:51:43,910 --> 02:51:44,450
Kyle.

4920
02:51:44,870 --> 02:51:46,070
Kyle, Texas.

4921
02:51:46,290 --> 02:51:54,910
Brenton Gray in Warrenula, New South Wales.

4922
02:51:55,830 --> 02:51:57,630
Listening to your show from down under.

4923
02:51:57,710 --> 02:51:58,850
Get some more people to listen.

4924
02:51:58,850 --> 02:52:04,750
Kenneth Fry in Irving, Texas.

4925
02:52:05,390 --> 02:52:05,950
$50.

4926
02:52:06,350 --> 02:52:08,390
And he says his freeloader days are over,

4927
02:52:08,470 --> 02:52:09,190
value for value.

4928
02:52:09,370 --> 02:52:11,030
If he's a freeloader, he needs a de

4929
02:52:11,030 --> 02:52:11,430
-douching.

4930
02:52:13,230 --> 02:52:14,910
You've been de-douched.

4931
02:52:15,990 --> 02:52:16,730
That's it.

4932
02:52:16,810 --> 02:52:19,230
That's our group, short group today, small group

4933
02:52:19,230 --> 02:52:19,610
today.

4934
02:52:20,090 --> 02:52:23,210
Helps make show 1518 a reality.

4935
02:52:23,550 --> 02:52:24,630
1718, no less.

4936
02:52:25,410 --> 02:52:26,770
Yeah, I'm off 200.

4937
02:52:27,310 --> 02:52:28,870
As so is the donors.

4938
02:52:29,350 --> 02:52:31,810
Thank you to our supporters, our producers for

4939
02:52:31,810 --> 02:52:32,090
today.

4940
02:52:32,190 --> 02:52:32,950
We appreciate it.

4941
02:52:33,270 --> 02:52:35,930
Time, talent, or treasure, noagendadonations.com.

4942
02:52:36,690 --> 02:52:38,810
Never under 50 is mentioned for reasons of

4943
02:52:38,810 --> 02:52:39,290
anonymity.

4944
02:52:39,410 --> 02:52:41,710
There are always some joker in there with

4945
02:52:41,710 --> 02:52:43,570
49.99, but we understand.

4946
02:52:44,070 --> 02:52:45,610
And, of course, the sustaining donations.

4947
02:52:45,790 --> 02:52:48,150
Any amount, any frequency, it helps a lot.

4948
02:52:48,650 --> 02:52:50,030
And, of course, with that, you can eventually

4949
02:52:50,030 --> 02:52:51,090
get to knighthood as well.

4950
02:52:51,150 --> 02:52:52,390
We have lots of layaway nights.

4951
02:52:53,390 --> 02:52:54,190
Noagendadonations.com.

4952
02:52:54,490 --> 02:52:56,590
Again, that is noagendadonations.com.

4953
02:52:56,590 --> 02:52:58,990
Here's a karma gratuitous for those who need

4954
02:52:58,990 --> 02:52:59,230
it.

4955
02:52:59,290 --> 02:53:00,390
You've got karma.

4956
02:53:01,790 --> 02:53:02,910
Noagendadonations.com.

4957
02:53:03,310 --> 02:53:05,210
It's your birthday, birthday.

4958
02:53:06,730 --> 02:53:08,350
I'm so glad you're here.

4959
02:53:08,870 --> 02:53:11,290
Ryan Newman sends happy birthday to Kyle.

4960
02:53:11,910 --> 02:53:15,190
As celebrated yesterday, Ranger Becky, which is her

4961
02:53:15,190 --> 02:53:16,230
best buddy and brother.

4962
02:53:16,550 --> 02:53:18,670
Sergeant John McKeon, a happy birthday.

4963
02:53:18,870 --> 02:53:20,030
He turns 43 tomorrow.

4964
02:53:20,490 --> 02:53:22,850
And Berenster Lineman of the Net, which is

4965
02:53:22,850 --> 02:53:24,330
Josie Hawkins, a happy birthday.

4966
02:53:24,490 --> 02:53:25,510
We say the same thing.

4967
02:53:25,510 --> 02:53:27,290
Happy birthday on behalf of everybody here at

4968
02:53:27,290 --> 02:53:28,970
the best podcast in the universe.

4969
02:53:29,250 --> 02:53:30,030
It's your birthday.

4970
02:53:31,870 --> 02:53:32,910
Title changes.

4971
02:53:33,730 --> 02:53:35,690
Turn and face the slays.

4972
02:53:36,230 --> 02:53:36,790
Title changes.

4973
02:53:37,990 --> 02:53:39,670
Don't want to be a douche bag.

4974
02:53:39,730 --> 02:53:41,210
Two title changes today.

4975
02:53:41,470 --> 02:53:43,650
We have Sir Eric now becoming a baron.

4976
02:53:43,810 --> 02:53:46,430
Sir Eric, baron of the Fat Point, who

4977
02:53:46,430 --> 02:53:47,090
doesn't know it.

4978
02:53:47,410 --> 02:53:49,610
And Sir Derek, protector of Star Lake, now

4979
02:53:49,610 --> 02:53:52,110
becomes baronet Sir Double Dr. Derek.

4980
02:53:52,110 --> 02:53:53,630
And that is correct that he is a

4981
02:53:53,630 --> 02:53:57,170
double doctor because he also gets a doctor

4982
02:53:57,170 --> 02:53:58,470
of science today.

4983
02:54:01,030 --> 02:54:04,170
So, Sir Eric, please step right up.

4984
02:54:04,410 --> 02:54:07,270
Remember to go to NoagenderRings.com to give

4985
02:54:07,270 --> 02:54:09,250
us the exact name you want on your

4986

doctor of science specializing in climate change studies.

4987
02:54:13,850 --> 02:54:15,850
Congratulations with your doctor.

4988
02:54:20,390 --> 02:54:20,970
Wow.

4989
02:54:21,490 --> 02:54:22,910
Wow, wow, wow.

4990
02:54:23,750 --> 02:54:24,670
NoagenderRings.com.

4991
02:54:24,790 --> 02:54:31,250

4993
02:54:32,750 --> 02:54:34,510

4994
02:54:34,510 --> 02:54:34,910
of those.

4995
02:54:36,090 --> 02:54:38,510
We didn't have anyone interested today, but eventually

4996
02:54:38,510 --> 02:54:40,030
someone will get back at the round table

4997
02:54:40,030 --> 02:54:41,330
very excited to see it.

4998
02:54:44,590 --> 02:54:45,510
Noagender.com.

4999
02:54:48,930 --> 02:54:53,110
Yeah, we're into the holiday session of the

5000
02:54:53,110 --> 02:54:53,850
meet-ups.

5001
02:54:53,970 --> 02:54:55,070
It means a lot of meet-ups.

5002
02:54:55,090 --> 02:54:56,730
Christmas parties where you drink too much.

5003
02:54:56,790 --> 02:54:57,470
That's right.

5004
02:54:58,130 --> 02:54:59,990
Got a note here from Sir Brian with

5005
02:54:59,990 --> 02:55:00,530
a Y.

5006
02:55:00,830 --> 02:55:02,790
He said, money's super tight for me lately,

5007
02:55:02,930 --> 02:55:04,590
but I organized a meet-up on Saturday,

5008
02:55:05,090 --> 02:55:07,190
the 7th of December in Aurora, Illinois.

5009
02:55:07,470 --> 02:55:09,050
I normally promote my meet-ups with a

5010
02:55:09,050 --> 02:55:09,470
donation.

5011
02:55:09,990 --> 02:55:12,630
Adam is normally fantastic with promotions, but hasn't

5012
02:55:12,630 --> 02:55:13,690
mentioned this one yet.

5013
02:55:13,690 --> 02:55:16,090
Hopefully he mentions it on tomorrow's show.

5014
02:55:16,230 --> 02:55:16,750
Well, here I am.

5015
02:55:17,010 --> 02:55:17,990
It's your fault, Trump.

5016
02:55:18,490 --> 02:55:20,250
Could he get a note to make sure

5017
02:55:20,250 --> 02:55:20,930
he mentions it?

5018
02:55:21,010 --> 02:55:22,750
Well, the back office functions perfectly.

5019
02:55:23,230 --> 02:55:24,690
Our meet-up is this Saturday on the

5020
02:55:24,690 --> 02:55:26,910
7th of December in Aurora, Illinois at Two

5021
02:55:26,910 --> 02:55:28,370
Brothers right outside of Chicago.

5022
02:55:28,870 --> 02:55:30,690
I only have like one RSVP.

5023
02:55:30,790 --> 02:55:32,090
We normally get 10 to 15.

5024
02:55:32,490 --> 02:55:33,550
It's on the meet-up site.

5025
02:55:33,650 --> 02:55:35,570
Thank you for your courage, Sir Brian with

5026
02:55:35,570 --> 02:55:35,990
a Y.

5027
02:55:36,510 --> 02:55:38,390
Well, you've got your promotion there.

5028
02:55:38,450 --> 02:55:40,190
And before we move on, here's a report

5029
02:55:40,190 --> 02:55:41,470
from the South Dakota meet-up.

5030
02:55:41,470 --> 02:55:43,990
Hey, this is John of the Dale coming

5031
02:55:43,990 --> 02:55:45,890
to you from Crow Peak Brewing here in

5032
02:55:45,890 --> 02:55:46,770
Spearfish, South Dakota.

5033
02:55:46,910 --> 02:55:47,630
Beautiful sunset.

5034
02:55:48,050 --> 02:55:49,730
If you didn't find us, maybe we were

5035
02:55:49,730 --> 02:55:52,610
out on the balcony watching the sunset over

5036

They produce a lot.

5114
02:58:21,410 --> 02:58:22,170

meet-ups.

They're at noagendameetups.com.

5134
02:59:05,470 --> 02:59:07,030
This is the perfect time to go and

5135
02:59:07,030 --> 02:59:10,130

the holidays.

5137

5138
02:59:12,270 --> 02:59:14,030
If you can't find one near you, start

5139
02:59:14,030 --> 02:59:14,630
one yourself.

5140
02:59:14,710 --> 02:59:15,990
You can still do it in time.

5141
02:59:15,990 --> 02:59:19,210
Sometimes you want to go hang out with

5142
02:59:19,210 --> 02:59:21,890
all the knights and dames.

5143
02:59:22,750 --> 02:59:25,530
You want to be where you won't be,

5144
02:59:25,750 --> 02:59:27,630
triggered or held to blame.

5145
02:59:28,310 --> 02:59:31,390
You want to be where everybody feels the

5146
02:59:31,390 --> 02:59:32,450
same.

5147
02:59:33,770 --> 02:59:35,410
It's like a party.

5148
02:59:36,070 --> 02:59:37,050
Yeah, baby.

5149
02:59:37,430 --> 02:59:39,070
Like a big party.

5150
02:59:39,930 --> 02:59:41,390
All right, John, sip of the day is

5151
02:59:41,390 --> 02:59:41,830
coming up.

5152
02:59:41,830 --> 02:59:44,910
Hey, by the way, you mentioned something else

5153
02:59:44,910 --> 02:59:46,190
Brunetti had to say.

5154
02:59:48,050 --> 02:59:51,210
He said that you left out Hookers and

5155
02:59:51,210 --> 02:59:53,770
Blow and Rentboys and Chardonnay on the last

5156
02:59:53,770 --> 02:59:57,890
knighting, and he thinks that you're going to

5157
02:59:57,890 --> 02:59:58,790
change it for good.

5158
02:59:59,110 --> 02:59:59,470
No?

5159
03:00:00,090 --> 03:00:02,330
Did I really miss that?

5160
03:00:02,750 --> 03:00:03,690
Well, he claims.

5161
03:00:04,330 --> 03:00:04,870
Hmm.

5162
03:00:05,090 --> 03:00:06,710
He says, what good is being a knight?

5163
03:00:07,350 --> 03:00:11,030
Well, I certainly wouldn't have left that out

5164
03:00:11,030 --> 03:00:11,710
on purpose.

5165
03:00:12,550 --> 03:00:12,950
That's what I told him.

5166
03:00:12,950 --> 03:00:16,170
I think I've been adding Cigars and Prostitutes,

5167
03:00:16,250 --> 03:00:18,590
in fact, as an addition since that came

5168
03:00:18,590 --> 03:00:18,690
up.

5169
03:00:18,690 --> 03:00:19,170
I didn't hear that.

5170
03:00:19,570 --> 03:00:21,190
I've been doing that for the past couple

5171
03:00:21,190 --> 03:00:21,530
of shows.

5172
03:00:21,710 --> 03:00:23,190
I will double check on this.

5173
03:00:25,430 --> 03:00:26,870
Any other notes?

5174
03:00:27,230 --> 03:00:29,970
Any other notes from the producers?

5175
03:00:30,270 --> 03:00:30,970
Any other notes?

5176
03:00:30,990 --> 03:00:31,910
From the suits.

5177
03:00:32,630 --> 03:00:33,030
Right?

5178
03:00:33,270 --> 03:00:34,650
I mean, we do a podcast, so we

5179
03:00:34,650 --> 03:00:35,350
don't have to do that.

5180
03:00:35,390 --> 03:00:36,170
Now we get Brunetti.

5181
03:00:37,050 --> 03:00:38,990
Donates twice in his life, and now he

5182
03:00:38,990 --> 03:00:40,490
thinks he can say something just because he

5183
03:00:40,490 --> 03:00:41,790
let you drive the fire engine?

5184
03:00:42,730 --> 03:00:46,150
Yeah, well, you know, I signed off on

5185
03:00:46,150 --> 03:00:46,270
it.

5186
03:00:46,490 --> 03:00:47,910
Screw this Hollywood douche.

5187
03:00:48,210 --> 03:00:49,530
What's he trying to do to us?

5188
03:00:50,190 --> 03:00:51,510
He's trying to rip us apart.

5189
03:00:54,410 --> 03:00:55,990
He's turned into a suit.

5190
03:00:56,110 --> 03:00:57,090
He is a suit.

5191
03:00:57,410 --> 03:00:58,210
He's a suit.

5192
03:00:59,030 --> 03:01:01,230
He's got a Cybertruck and a suit.

5193
03:01:02,410 --> 03:01:03,250
Enough said.

5194
03:01:03,930 --> 03:01:05,490
All right, Brunetti, email me.

5195
03:01:05,490 --> 03:01:06,630
How about a bonus clip?

5196
03:01:07,190 --> 03:01:08,130
Oh, you got a bonus clip.

5197
03:01:08,230 --> 03:01:08,410
Okay.

5198
03:01:08,630 --> 03:01:09,550
Yeah, that's always fun.

5199
03:01:09,650 --> 03:01:11,790
It's under TPK, but it should say talk.

5200
03:01:12,630 --> 03:01:16,010
This was T-A-P-K.

5201
03:01:16,190 --> 03:01:16,690
Yes, I talk.

5202
03:01:16,810 --> 03:01:18,730
This is a lesbian Joe Pesci.

5203
03:01:19,190 --> 03:01:21,230
And the reason it's called this is because

5204
03:01:21,230 --> 03:01:23,750
this woman is wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

5205
03:01:23,870 --> 03:01:24,030
Wait a minute.

5206
03:01:24,370 --> 03:01:26,710
Did talking about Brunetti make you come up

5207
03:01:26,710 --> 03:01:27,110
with this?

5208
03:01:28,290 --> 03:01:30,130
No, I'm going over the list here.

5209
03:01:30,450 --> 03:01:32,210
And I saw it, and I said, well,

5210
03:01:32,210 --> 03:01:33,210
I should get this out of the way,

5211
03:01:33,230 --> 03:01:34,770
because people love these talk clips.

5212
03:01:34,770 --> 03:01:36,090
Yes, they encourage you.

5213
03:01:36,290 --> 03:01:36,870
Yes, they do.

5214
03:01:37,230 --> 03:01:38,330
Yes, they do.

5215
03:01:38,730 --> 03:01:39,270
Encourage you.

5216
03:01:39,530 --> 03:01:39,810
Encourage me.

5217
03:01:39,910 --> 03:01:40,250
Encourage you.

5218
03:01:40,250 --> 03:01:41,750
That's exactly what they do.

5219
03:01:41,790 --> 03:01:42,510
Yep, that's happening.

5220
03:01:43,710 --> 03:01:44,890
And you hate it.

5221
03:01:44,970 --> 03:01:45,510
I know that.

5222
03:01:45,650 --> 03:01:46,350
I can tell.

5223
03:01:47,990 --> 03:01:52,070
So this is a woman who looks like

5224
03:01:52,070 --> 03:01:53,530
Joe Pesci is the reason that it was

5225
03:01:53,530 --> 03:01:53,950
called that.

5226
03:01:54,230 --> 03:01:55,130
And she's on a rant.

5227
03:01:55,170 --> 03:01:56,530
She's ranting against you.

5228
03:01:56,890 --> 03:01:58,110
You maggot nuts.

5229
03:01:58,110 --> 03:02:02,450
This is a message for any MAGA cultist

5230
03:02:02,450 --> 03:02:06,050
that knows me, that is in my family,

5231
03:02:06,610 --> 03:02:08,730
that used to be, and I mean used

5232
03:02:08,730 --> 03:02:09,570
to be my friend.

5233
03:02:09,930 --> 03:02:15,650
If you are a MAGA cultist, if you

5234
03:02:15,650 --> 03:02:21,430
follow and or support the orange shit turd,

5235
03:02:21,870 --> 03:02:24,070
I want no part of you.

5236
03:02:24,070 --> 03:02:26,410
I don't care if you are my niece,

5237
03:02:26,630 --> 03:02:31,330
my nephew, my cousin, my siblings, my parents,

5238
03:02:31,670 --> 03:02:32,390
my kids.

5239
03:02:32,770 --> 03:02:35,290
I don't care who you are.

5240
03:02:35,870 --> 03:02:40,310
If you support this clown, we are not

5241
03:02:40,310 --> 03:02:40,790
friends.

5242
03:02:41,310 --> 03:02:45,010
We are not family any longer, because you

5243
03:02:45,010 --> 03:02:49,950
just supported someone against my rights and the

5244
03:02:49,950 --> 03:02:51,910
rights of people that I love.

5245
03:02:53,230 --> 03:02:56,230
If I work with you, I have to

5246
03:02:56,230 --> 03:02:58,790
be professional and I have to speak with

5247
03:02:58,790 --> 03:03:03,570
you professionally at work so that I don't

5248
03:03:03,570 --> 03:03:04,410
lose my job.

5249
03:03:04,810 --> 03:03:08,670
However, make no mistake, if you support him,

5250
03:03:08,950 --> 03:03:10,570
I will never be your friend.

5251
03:03:11,190 --> 03:03:13,530
We would never be friends out of work.

5252
03:03:13,830 --> 03:03:15,790
And I will never respect you.

5253
03:03:17,890 --> 03:03:19,330
That's all I have to say.

5254
03:03:21,210 --> 03:03:23,550
Now, you play this because you think this

5255
03:03:23,550 --> 03:03:24,010
is funny?

5256
03:03:25,310 --> 03:03:26,630
I think it's pathetic.

5257
03:03:27,530 --> 03:03:29,190
It makes me very sad.

5258
03:03:30,270 --> 03:03:31,850
But I'd like to know, you know, it's

5259
03:03:31,850 --> 03:03:33,310
always about me, me, me.

5260
03:03:33,410 --> 03:03:36,810
It's like you voted for him against me

5261
03:03:36,810 --> 03:03:39,130
and my rights.

5262
03:03:40,110 --> 03:03:41,590
Where are they getting this?

5263
03:03:42,330 --> 03:03:45,450
Earlier in the show, you had this rundown

5264
03:03:45,450 --> 03:03:47,450
of these complaints.

5265
03:03:48,190 --> 03:03:50,450
And I don't think it was emphasized enough

5266
03:03:50,450 --> 03:03:53,390
about these people taking this personally as somehow

5267
03:03:53,390 --> 03:03:55,710
their rights are being attacked.

5268
03:03:56,530 --> 03:03:58,270
And if you voted for Trump, you voted

5269
03:03:58,270 --> 03:04:00,210
against them personally.

5270
03:04:00,210 --> 03:04:04,850
Our university system, our entire education system, and

5271
03:04:04,850 --> 03:04:07,950
whoever has been met, our pharmaceutical system, whoever

5272
03:04:07,950 --> 03:04:10,750
has been meddling inside the brains of people

5273
03:04:10,750 --> 03:04:16,990
through social media, have created a massive group

5274
03:04:16,990 --> 03:04:19,870
of people with narcissistic personality disorder.

5275
03:04:19,950 --> 03:04:21,330
Because that's what this is.

5276
03:04:21,330 --> 03:04:23,930
And to add to that, when you accuse

5277
03:04:23,930 --> 03:04:27,230
someone of being a narcissist, which these people

5278
03:04:27,230 --> 03:04:29,730
have accused Trump of being, then there's a

5279
03:04:29,730 --> 03:04:32,430
pretty good chance that you're accusing someone of

5280
03:04:32,430 --> 03:04:33,630
that of what you are yourself.

5281
03:04:33,670 --> 03:04:34,730
These are narcissists.

5282
03:04:34,890 --> 03:04:37,010
It is now a mental disease.

5283
03:04:37,870 --> 03:04:39,630
And these people need a hug.

5284
03:04:41,150 --> 03:04:42,570
They need to be loved.

5285
03:04:44,130 --> 03:04:45,850
And not excoriated.

5286
03:04:49,910 --> 03:04:53,630
Well, I think that's very magnanimous of you.

5287
03:04:54,810 --> 03:04:55,250
Magnanimous?

5288
03:04:55,770 --> 03:04:56,030
Yeah.

5289
03:04:56,490 --> 03:04:58,150
What does that mean in this context?

5290
03:04:58,170 --> 03:04:59,610
It means you're a good guy.

5291
03:05:00,070 --> 03:05:00,270
Yeah.

5292
03:05:00,510 --> 03:05:02,170
I don't want...

5293
03:05:02,770 --> 03:05:03,210
Personally...

5294
03:05:06,270 --> 03:05:07,150
Well, maybe...

5295
03:05:07,150 --> 03:05:09,410
I'm not hugging these people, that's for sure.

5296
03:05:09,470 --> 03:05:11,530
Maybe if I'd seen the Joe Pesci look,

5297
03:05:11,690 --> 03:05:13,330
I would have thought differently about it.

5298
03:05:13,330 --> 03:05:14,610
But this is why I don't like these

5299
03:05:14,610 --> 03:05:16,430
clips, because you can't see these people.

5300
03:05:16,570 --> 03:05:18,210
Ah, you admit it, you don't like the

5301
03:05:18,210 --> 03:05:18,510
clips.

5302
03:05:18,590 --> 03:05:19,510
You heard that, people?

5303
03:05:20,690 --> 03:05:21,590
Send him a note.

5304
03:05:21,910 --> 03:05:22,790
AdamMcCurry.com.

5305
03:05:22,790 --> 03:05:23,430
I don't have Brunetti...

5306
03:05:23,430 --> 03:05:24,450
We want more clips.

5307
03:05:24,550 --> 03:05:25,930
I don't have Brunetti send a note to

5308
03:05:25,930 --> 03:05:26,130
you.

5309
03:05:26,350 --> 03:05:30,170
John, I really don't think that these TikTok

5310
03:05:30,170 --> 03:05:32,110
clips are any good, because we can't see

5311
03:05:32,110 --> 03:05:34,330
them, so we don't get all the context

5312
03:05:34,330 --> 03:05:36,770
after you've seen them.

5313
03:05:36,790 --> 03:05:37,170
Anyway.

5314
03:05:37,770 --> 03:05:39,270
I can explain the context.

5315
03:05:39,570 --> 03:05:40,430
I can explain.

5316
03:05:40,630 --> 03:05:41,150
I know how to do that.

5317
03:05:41,150 --> 03:05:43,650
So what time did Brunetti send out the

5318
03:05:43,650 --> 03:05:45,330
Zoom call invite so we all get on

5319
03:05:45,330 --> 03:05:46,610
the call at the same time for us

5320
03:05:46,610 --> 03:05:48,310
to berate us about how we're doing the

5321
03:05:48,310 --> 03:05:48,510
show?

5322
03:05:48,510 --> 03:05:48,730
For the meeting?

5323
03:05:48,930 --> 03:05:49,650
For the meeting.

5324
03:05:49,850 --> 03:05:51,790
I'm not doing any...

5325
03:05:51,790 --> 03:05:52,210
All right.

5326
03:05:52,290 --> 03:05:53,570
What are your ISOs?

5327
03:05:53,670 --> 03:05:53,890
Okay.

5328
03:05:54,010 --> 03:05:54,850
What do you got?

5329
03:05:55,330 --> 03:05:56,190
I'll play mine.

5330
03:05:56,270 --> 03:05:56,650
I have two.

5331
03:05:56,970 --> 03:05:59,610
These old guys who say something stupid.

5332
03:06:00,010 --> 03:06:00,350
Uh-huh.

5333
03:06:01,610 --> 03:06:02,270
That's us.

5334
03:06:02,490 --> 03:06:02,850
And here.

5335
03:06:03,010 --> 03:06:04,310
They're like, well, I was in a podcast.

5336
03:06:05,910 --> 03:06:07,590
I couldn't even understand that.

5337
03:06:07,690 --> 03:06:08,050
Okay.

5338
03:06:08,290 --> 03:06:08,690
All right.

5339
03:06:08,790 --> 03:06:10,610
So I have two that are pretty clear,

5340
03:06:10,790 --> 03:06:11,310
I think.

5341
03:06:11,410 --> 03:06:11,710
Okay.

5342
03:06:11,930 --> 03:06:12,290
All right.

5343
03:06:12,350 --> 03:06:13,010
Start with free.

5344
03:06:13,330 --> 03:06:14,110
And it's free.

5345
03:06:15,050 --> 03:06:16,630
Oh, that's kind of nice, because it is

5346
03:06:16,630 --> 03:06:16,890
free.

5347
03:06:17,090 --> 03:06:17,490
That's good.

5348
03:06:17,570 --> 03:06:18,030
I like that.

5349
03:06:18,170 --> 03:06:18,650
I like that.

5350
03:06:18,790 --> 03:06:19,490
Yeah, I like it too.

5351
03:06:20,350 --> 03:06:22,430
And then the end.

5352
03:06:24,750 --> 03:06:25,330
No, no.

5353
03:06:25,450 --> 03:06:26,970
That one wins hands down.

5354
03:06:28,370 --> 03:06:29,610
Or we could do a double.

5355
03:06:30,610 --> 03:06:32,430
I'm actually thinking, I think.

5356
03:06:34,810 --> 03:06:35,490
And it's free.

5357
03:06:35,650 --> 03:06:36,250
How about that?

5358
03:06:36,530 --> 03:06:37,570
I like the double.

5359
03:06:37,610 --> 03:06:38,170
I like...

5360
03:06:38,170 --> 03:06:39,110
We're going for the double.

5361
03:06:39,410 --> 03:06:41,610
Everybody, it's time once again for John's Tip

5362
03:06:41,610 --> 03:06:42,310
of the Day.

5363
03:06:51,050 --> 03:06:51,850
I have...

5364
03:06:51,850 --> 03:06:54,590
This is a sometimes moment.

5365
03:06:55,650 --> 03:06:59,030
I have a tip that, if you don't

5366
03:06:59,030 --> 03:07:00,310
mind, I'd like to give a little tip.

5367
03:07:00,370 --> 03:07:02,950
This comes from our producer, Fielding E.

5368
03:07:03,130 --> 03:07:03,430
Fowler.

5369
03:07:03,570 --> 03:07:04,910
And this is a tip for parents.

5370
03:07:07,170 --> 03:07:07,970
And I'm going to read it.

5371
03:07:08,230 --> 03:07:09,630
My wife and I have a tip for

5372
03:07:09,630 --> 03:07:09,890
you.

5373
03:07:11,110 --> 03:07:13,890
We have two very active human resources and

5374
03:07:13,890 --> 03:07:15,910
often can't wait to see the school bus

5375
03:07:15,910 --> 03:07:17,930
drop the other kids on the block home

5376
03:07:17,930 --> 03:07:18,410
from school.

5377
03:07:18,810 --> 03:07:19,510
We homeschool.

5378
03:07:19,510 --> 03:07:21,990
And when they leave the house to go

5379
03:07:21,990 --> 03:07:24,370
play, they take a small walkie-talkie with

5380
03:07:24,370 --> 03:07:25,250
them instead of a phone.

5381
03:07:25,650 --> 03:07:26,690
It works great.

5382
03:07:27,130 --> 03:07:28,670
We can call them home when dinner is

5383
03:07:28,670 --> 03:07:29,910
done and they can call if they need

5384
03:07:29,910 --> 03:07:30,210
help.

5385
03:07:30,350 --> 03:07:31,830
No screen and no internet.

5386
03:07:32,330 --> 03:07:33,870
One of the other families gave their eight

5387
03:07:33,870 --> 03:07:35,170
-year-old a cell phone and what do

5388
03:07:35,170 --> 03:07:35,410
you know?

5389
03:07:35,530 --> 03:07:37,390
It's never charged and the screen is busted.

5390
03:07:37,690 --> 03:07:40,030
All the other families are jealous because we

5391
03:07:40,030 --> 03:07:41,290
are smarter than them.

5392
03:07:41,470 --> 03:07:43,770
We are using our no agenda intelligence.

5393
03:07:44,590 --> 03:07:45,970
I think that's a great idea.

5394
03:07:46,070 --> 03:07:46,650
And you know what?

5395
03:07:47,010 --> 03:07:47,750
It's cool.

5396
03:07:48,370 --> 03:07:50,690
I think if you give your kid one

5397
03:07:50,690 --> 03:07:51,650
of those GPRS.

5398
03:07:51,750 --> 03:07:52,490
Is it GPRS?

5399
03:07:53,290 --> 03:07:53,650
GRPS.

5400
03:07:54,190 --> 03:07:55,850
One of those walkie-talkies that has a

5401
03:07:55,850 --> 03:07:57,050
decent range.

5402
03:07:57,390 --> 03:07:58,390
They have a pretty good.

5403
03:07:58,410 --> 03:07:59,870
Some of them have a big range.

5404
03:08:00,090 --> 03:08:00,230
Yeah.

5405
03:08:01,290 --> 03:08:04,130
They run a C band or CB band

5406
03:08:04,130 --> 03:08:04,590
or one of these.

5407
03:08:04,610 --> 03:08:05,370
No, it's not CB.

5408
03:08:05,490 --> 03:08:06,190
No, no.

5409
03:08:06,270 --> 03:08:09,330
It's like 145 megahertz or something.

5410
03:08:10,130 --> 03:08:11,910
But they go about a mile.

5411
03:08:12,370 --> 03:08:13,150
Yeah, at least.

5412
03:08:13,390 --> 03:08:14,510
And then, you know, the kid can hook

5413
03:08:14,510 --> 03:08:15,150
it on their belt.

5414
03:08:15,210 --> 03:08:15,690
They're rugged.

5415
03:08:15,690 --> 03:08:16,550
He's got it on his belt.

5416
03:08:16,750 --> 03:08:19,350
He looks like a mall cop.

5417
03:08:19,790 --> 03:08:20,110
Fantastic.

5418
03:08:20,810 --> 03:08:22,510
And could just say, hey, mom.

5419
03:08:22,610 --> 03:08:23,130
Hey, mom.

5420
03:08:23,530 --> 03:08:24,650
You're like, yes.

5421
03:08:25,230 --> 03:08:27,070
Can you have some chocolate milk ready for

5422
03:08:27,070 --> 03:08:27,250
me?

5423
03:08:27,350 --> 03:08:28,610
And, of course, the mom's going to say,

5424
03:08:28,670 --> 03:08:29,490
sure, no problem.

5425
03:08:29,550 --> 03:08:31,510
The kids will be like, that's so awesome.

5426
03:08:32,410 --> 03:08:33,270
I like this tip.

5427
03:08:33,350 --> 03:08:34,350
I think it's a great tip.

5428
03:08:34,550 --> 03:08:36,050
You can buy them on Amazon for about

5429
03:08:36,050 --> 03:08:37,610
$20 for a pair.

5430
03:08:39,130 --> 03:08:39,830
They're pretty cheap.

5431
03:08:40,590 --> 03:08:41,310
Made in China.

5432
03:08:41,730 --> 03:08:43,330
Get them now before the price goes up.

5433
03:08:43,390 --> 03:08:43,770
That's right.

5434
03:08:43,770 --> 03:08:46,510
All right, so we got a guy in

5435
03:08:46,510 --> 03:08:48,450
the medical industry, or he's in the billing

5436
03:08:48,450 --> 03:08:48,990
thing.

5437
03:08:49,210 --> 03:08:50,970
He knows his long story.

5438
03:08:51,070 --> 03:08:52,830
The backgrounder is good on this.

5439
03:08:52,910 --> 03:08:54,610
Another tip from a fan.

5440
03:08:55,830 --> 03:08:56,670
A fan.

5441
03:08:56,770 --> 03:08:58,330
What are we, the tin pool show now?

5442
03:08:58,530 --> 03:08:58,970
What is this?

5443
03:08:59,030 --> 03:09:00,070
What is this fan business?

5444
03:09:00,410 --> 03:09:01,210
I hate to burst your bubble.

5445
03:09:06,070 --> 03:09:08,750
So he was just basically a bitch letter

5446
03:09:08,750 --> 03:09:10,390
about Andreessen.

5447
03:09:10,750 --> 03:09:12,130
But at the end, he has a tip

5448
03:09:12,130 --> 03:09:12,590
of the day.

5449
03:09:12,590 --> 03:09:15,370
Oh, this is the one about how we

5450
03:09:15,370 --> 03:09:16,350
lost $7,000?

5451
03:09:18,450 --> 03:09:18,930
No.

5452
03:09:19,310 --> 03:09:20,150
Oh, my gosh.

5453
03:09:21,270 --> 03:09:22,690
Oh, you didn't get that note.

5454
03:09:24,090 --> 03:09:27,110
Well, I do recall something about $7,000,

5455
03:09:27,310 --> 03:09:28,310
but that's not this note.

5456
03:09:28,910 --> 03:09:30,190
Do you want me to just mention this

5457
03:09:30,190 --> 03:09:31,090
guy's note real quick?

5458
03:09:32,370 --> 03:09:33,190
What's his name?

5459
03:09:33,530 --> 03:09:37,970
His name is, let me see.

5460
03:09:38,170 --> 03:09:40,410
His name is, I think I omitted his

5461
03:09:40,410 --> 03:09:41,010
name, probably.

5462
03:09:41,010 --> 03:09:41,490
Sean.

5463
03:09:42,210 --> 03:09:42,790
Oh, yeah.

5464
03:09:42,830 --> 03:09:43,390
This is David.

5465
03:09:44,370 --> 03:09:45,470
It's not the same guy.

5466
03:09:45,790 --> 03:09:48,930
Anyway, Sean said that he lost $7,000

5467
03:09:48,930 --> 03:09:52,990
due to Synapse Technologies declared bankruptcy, which was

5468
03:09:52,990 --> 03:09:56,150
the very fintech that Marc Andreessen funded.

5469
03:09:56,570 --> 03:09:58,450
And those guys said, oh, we don't have

5470
03:09:58,450 --> 03:10:00,030
any money to make everybody whole.

5471
03:10:00,330 --> 03:10:01,690
He has a whole long story about it.

5472
03:10:01,870 --> 03:10:02,570
I'll put it in the.

5473
03:10:02,590 --> 03:10:02,870
Oh, geez.

5474
03:10:02,950 --> 03:10:03,550
I don't remember.

5475
03:10:03,770 --> 03:10:03,910
No.

5476
03:10:05,050 --> 03:10:06,170
Wow, it's terrible.

5477
03:10:06,370 --> 03:10:06,510
Yeah.

5478
03:10:06,510 --> 03:10:07,790
Okay, this is the tip of the day

5479
03:10:07,790 --> 03:10:11,870
for medicine, people without insurance or with insurance.

5480
03:10:12,330 --> 03:10:13,510
Tip of the day, if you don't have

5481
03:10:13,510 --> 03:10:16,890
insurance, call up the medical facility and ask

5482
03:10:16,890 --> 03:10:18,450
for the cash rate.

5483
03:10:18,810 --> 03:10:19,370
Ah, yes.

5484
03:10:21,170 --> 03:10:24,150
They may push back, but most will provide

5485
03:10:24,150 --> 03:10:26,390
you with a charge that is reasonable.

5486
03:10:26,890 --> 03:10:30,410
And in many cases, lower than you would

5487
03:10:30,410 --> 03:10:32,590
have to pay with your insurance plan.

5488
03:10:32,790 --> 03:10:34,890
We've talked about this in great detail on

5489
03:10:34,890 --> 03:10:35,270
the show.

5490
03:10:35,270 --> 03:10:35,570
Yeah.

5491
03:10:35,890 --> 03:10:37,550
About how they jack it up, jack it

5492
03:10:37,550 --> 03:10:38,990
up, and they get all these phony numbers.

5493
03:10:39,110 --> 03:10:40,470
And that what you pay is actually more

5494
03:10:40,470 --> 03:10:41,390
than anybody pays.

5495
03:10:42,110 --> 03:10:43,410
But if you go for the cash rate,

5496
03:10:43,450 --> 03:10:44,670
it might actually be cheaper.

5497
03:10:45,910 --> 03:10:48,170
The real tip is you must say that

5498
03:10:48,170 --> 03:10:51,290
you do not have insurance coverage or else

5499
03:10:51,290 --> 03:10:53,710
they would be obligated to charge you the

5500
03:10:53,710 --> 03:10:55,010
insurance rates.

5501
03:10:56,070 --> 03:10:56,830
There you go.

5502
03:10:58,790 --> 03:11:00,030
I found that to be a tip.

5503
03:11:00,030 --> 03:11:03,490
Well, that's a tip.

5504
03:11:03,750 --> 03:11:06,710
Plus, this is exactly what CrowdHealth does.

5505
03:11:06,810 --> 03:11:07,690
That's what Tina has.

5506
03:11:07,770 --> 03:11:09,530
I think she pays $200 a month.

5507
03:11:10,990 --> 03:11:13,590
And if something comes up, and I think

5508
03:11:13,590 --> 03:11:17,990
anything under $500 she pays for herself, anything

5509
03:11:17,990 --> 03:11:20,090
over that, she submits it to them.

5510
03:11:20,670 --> 03:11:21,850
It's not an insurance plan.

5511
03:11:21,930 --> 03:11:23,150
It's more like a layaway plan.

5512
03:11:23,530 --> 03:11:26,870
And then they go to the doctor, hospital,

5513
03:11:26,990 --> 03:11:27,310
et cetera.

5514
03:11:27,310 --> 03:11:28,970
They say, hey, no insurance.

5515
03:11:29,050 --> 03:11:31,350
And they negotiate the cash price.

5516
03:11:31,590 --> 03:11:33,930
And then they crowdfund it from the money

5517
03:11:33,930 --> 03:11:34,630
they already have.

5518
03:11:34,730 --> 03:11:35,910
That's why it's called CrowdHealth.

5519
03:11:35,950 --> 03:11:37,090
It's very good.

5520
03:11:37,230 --> 03:11:38,890
She's had a lot of success with it,

5521
03:11:39,190 --> 03:11:39,870
loves it.

5522
03:11:40,210 --> 03:11:42,190
And email Tina at curry.com and she'll

5523
03:11:42,190 --> 03:11:43,650
send you a coupon, a code.

5524
03:11:45,750 --> 03:11:46,090
Yeah.

5525
03:11:47,950 --> 03:11:48,390
Wow.

5526
03:11:48,610 --> 03:11:50,170
That's your tip of the day, everybody.

5527
03:11:50,410 --> 03:11:50,850
Yeah.

5528
03:11:51,090 --> 03:11:51,650
There you go.

5529
03:11:52,830 --> 03:11:53,710
Tipoftheday.net.

5530
03:11:54,850 --> 03:11:57,670
Great advice for you and me.

5531
03:11:57,930 --> 03:12:00,550
Just the tip with JCD.

5532
03:12:01,110 --> 03:12:02,870
And sometimes Adam.

5533
03:12:03,470 --> 03:12:06,290
Man, we're just over-tipped these days.

5534
03:12:06,870 --> 03:12:08,370
People get so much benefit.

5535
03:12:09,330 --> 03:12:11,490
And you can go to tipoftheday.net or

5536
03:12:11,490 --> 03:12:14,530
noagendafund.com to revisit these.

5537
03:12:15,030 --> 03:12:16,470
They're good tips, people.

5538
03:12:16,910 --> 03:12:18,710
It's worth hanging out to the end of

5539
03:12:18,710 --> 03:12:19,850
the show to get them.

5540
03:12:20,910 --> 03:12:23,950
And with that, we will be returning on

5541
03:12:23,950 --> 03:12:24,470
Sunday.

5542
03:12:25,210 --> 03:12:26,090
It's a lot going on.

5543
03:12:26,350 --> 03:12:29,090
The oil baron's coming to stay for a

5544
03:12:29,090 --> 03:12:29,730
day with us.

5545
03:12:30,470 --> 03:12:32,790
So I'm sure I'll have lots of oil

5546
03:12:32,790 --> 03:12:34,350
barony-type news.

5547
03:12:34,870 --> 03:12:35,650
I'm excited.

5548
03:12:36,570 --> 03:12:39,190
And we'll be back on Sunday with more

5549
03:12:39,190 --> 03:12:41,730
media deconstruction for your pleasure.

5550
03:12:42,290 --> 03:12:44,990
End of show next is Leo LePuck, who's

5551
03:12:44,990 --> 03:12:46,890
still hanging in there.

5552
03:12:46,970 --> 03:12:47,910
We're happy to hear that.

5553
03:12:47,910 --> 03:12:50,870
Sir Aaron Yoho and Judd Haley, all with

5554
03:12:50,870 --> 03:12:51,770
end-of-show mixes.

5555
03:12:52,070 --> 03:12:55,590
And up next on noagendastream.com, trollroom.io,

5556
03:12:55,770 --> 03:12:58,010
Random Thoughts, the Democrat discount.

5557
03:12:58,450 --> 03:13:00,690
That is from the show that just aired

5558
03:13:00,690 --> 03:13:01,170
yesterday.

5559
03:13:01,370 --> 03:13:02,310
So stay tuned for that.

5560
03:13:02,650 --> 03:13:03,790
Coming to you from the heart of the

5561
03:13:03,790 --> 03:13:06,230
Texas Hill Country right here in Fredericksburg, Texas.

5562
03:13:06,350 --> 03:13:07,270
In the morning, everybody.

5563
03:13:07,710 --> 03:13:08,450
I'm Adam Curry.

5564
03:13:08,690 --> 03:13:11,130
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain,

5565
03:13:11,310 --> 03:13:12,070
I'm John C.

5566
03:13:12,150 --> 03:13:12,490
Dvorak.

5567
03:13:12,490 --> 03:13:15,370
Please remember us at noagendadonations.com.

5568
03:13:15,470 --> 03:13:16,290
Help the show out.

5569
03:13:16,390 --> 03:13:17,090
Keep us rolling.

5570
03:13:17,270 --> 03:13:19,310
Time, talent, treasure until Sunday.

5571
03:13:19,770 --> 03:13:23,090
Adios, mufos, a-hooey-hooey, and such.

5572
03:13:28,980 --> 03:13:31,260
I said I abide by the jury decisions.

5573
03:13:31,500 --> 03:13:33,100
I will do that, and I will not

5574
03:13:33,100 --> 03:13:33,600
pardon him.

5575
03:13:33,700 --> 03:13:35,260
I could speak for the president, and he

5576
03:13:35,260 --> 03:13:36,760
said he would not pardon his son.

5577
03:13:40,160 --> 03:13:42,860
Is there any possibility that the president would

5578
03:13:42,860 --> 03:13:44,220
end up pardoning his son?

5579
03:13:44,220 --> 03:13:44,740
No.

5580
03:13:45,000 --> 03:13:46,020
I just said no.

5581
03:13:47,080 --> 03:13:49,280
When would the president pardon or commute his

5582
03:13:49,280 --> 03:13:50,880
son if he's convicted?

5583
03:13:51,100 --> 03:13:52,500
So I've answered this question before.

5584
03:13:52,600 --> 03:13:53,880
It was asked of me not too long

5585
03:13:53,880 --> 03:13:55,480
ago, a couple of weeks ago, and I

5586
03:13:55,480 --> 03:13:56,800
was very clear, and I said no.

5587
03:14:00,040 --> 03:14:03,000
I will not pardon him.

5588
03:14:03,440 --> 03:14:06,160
The president would not pardon or commute his

5589
03:14:06,160 --> 03:14:07,380
son's son, Hunter.

5590
03:14:07,960 --> 03:14:09,120
I want to make sure that that is

5591
03:14:09,120 --> 03:14:10,440
not going to change over the next eight

5592
03:14:10,440 --> 03:14:10,600
months.

5593
03:14:10,880 --> 03:14:11,740
It's still a no.

5594
03:14:11,940 --> 03:14:12,640
It's still a no.

5595
03:14:12,880 --> 03:14:13,440
It's always a no.

5596
03:14:13,720 --> 03:14:14,520
It's still a no.

5597
03:14:14,520 --> 03:14:16,220
It will be a no if it is

5598
03:14:16,220 --> 03:14:16,600
a no.

5599
03:14:16,940 --> 03:14:17,920
Will he pardon his son?

5600
03:14:18,060 --> 03:14:18,340
No.

5601
03:14:18,980 --> 03:14:20,780
I like the term security neighborhood.

5602
03:14:21,440 --> 03:14:22,900
What's going on in your neighborhood?

5603
03:14:24,580 --> 03:14:25,500
Security neighborhood.

5604
03:14:26,220 --> 03:14:27,500
Ukraine's not in the EU.

5605
03:14:27,800 --> 03:14:28,660
They're not in NATO.

5606
03:14:28,960 --> 03:14:29,140
No.

5607
03:14:29,260 --> 03:14:30,500
They're just around the corner.

5608
03:14:30,640 --> 03:14:31,300
They're over there.

5609
03:14:31,420 --> 03:14:31,960
In the neighborhood.

5610
03:14:32,960 --> 03:14:34,520
Yeah, in the security neighborhood.

5611
03:14:34,720 --> 03:14:34,980
Yes.

5612
03:14:36,200 --> 03:14:37,900
What's going on in your neighborhood?

5613
03:14:39,100 --> 03:14:39,960
In the neighborhood.

5614
03:14:40,920 --> 03:14:42,260
In the security neighborhood.

5615
03:14:43,560 --> 03:14:45,920
These guys, they see Trump coming in to

5616
03:14:45,920 --> 03:14:48,880
stop this war, and they're no.

5617
03:14:49,580 --> 03:14:51,100
What are we going to stop it for?

5618
03:14:51,940 --> 03:14:53,820
What if we can come up with $200

5619
03:14:53,820 --> 03:14:57,700
billion of our money, of our stupid taxpayer

5620
03:14:57,700 --> 03:14:59,460
money that we have?

5621
03:15:00,480 --> 03:15:02,160
They don't want peace.

5622
03:15:02,960 --> 03:15:04,460
That lady was right.

5623
03:15:06,740 --> 03:15:08,420
It's just like using it.

5624
03:15:11,960 --> 03:15:14,580
We're two old boomers.

5625
03:15:14,900 --> 03:15:16,420
It's just like, it's just like, it's just

5626
03:15:16,420 --> 03:15:18,160
like, it's just like using it.

5627
03:15:19,460 --> 03:15:21,160
What's that thing where you all text each

5628
03:15:21,160 --> 03:15:22,360
other in a little message group?

5629
03:15:22,460 --> 03:15:22,580
Yeah.

5630
03:15:22,700 --> 03:15:24,120
We're two old boomers.

5631
03:15:24,460 --> 03:15:26,360
You talked about earlier, the groups, these little

5632
03:15:26,360 --> 03:15:28,280
groups that you write notes to each other.

5633
03:15:28,420 --> 03:15:28,900
Oh, the text group.

5634
03:15:29,060 --> 03:15:29,740
The text group.

5635
03:15:30,640 --> 03:15:32,400
It's just like, it's just like, it's just

5636
03:15:32,400 --> 03:15:34,180
like, it's just like using it.

5637
03:15:35,300 --> 03:15:36,480
The text group.

5638
03:15:36,680 --> 03:15:37,620
The text message group.

5639
03:15:38,760 --> 03:15:40,160
That lady was right.

5640
03:15:40,320 --> 03:15:41,940
They don't even know what a text message

5641
03:15:41,940 --> 03:15:44,580
group, text message, text message group, text message

5642
03:15:44,580 --> 03:15:45,280
group is.

5643
03:15:45,620 --> 03:15:46,760
That lady was right.

5644
03:15:46,940 --> 03:15:48,280
It's just like, it's just like, it's just

5645
03:15:48,280 --> 03:15:49,460
like using it.

5646
03:15:50,840 --> 03:15:52,500
We're two old boomers.

5647
03:15:53,140 --> 03:15:55,580
Text group, yes, it's called the text group.

5648
03:15:56,140 --> 03:15:59,480
The New York Times now calls women non

5649
03:15:59,480 --> 03:16:00,560
-transgender women.

5650
03:16:01,260 --> 03:16:03,680
I think these women are weak-minded.

5651
03:16:05,940 --> 03:16:07,920
It's just like, it's just like, it's just

5652
03:16:07,920 --> 03:16:09,620
like, it's just like using it.

5653
03:16:13,420 --> 03:16:16,020
The best podcast in the universe.

5654
03:16:16,980 --> 03:16:18,360
Adios, mofo.

5655
03:16:18,540 --> 03:16:21,860
Dvorak.org slash N-A.

5656
03:16:22,560 --> 03:16:24,900
And that is the end of the podcast.

5657
03:16:25,020 --> 03:16:25,760
And it's free.

5658
03:16:27,180 --> 03:16:28,400
You made me snap.

5659
03:16:29,000 --> 03:16:30,030
It has to be compromised.

5660
03:16:31,100 --> 03:16:32,880
A lunatic this guy is.

5661
03:16:33,600 --> 03:16:34,640
Yeah, yeah.

5662
03:16:34,640 --> 03:16:37,660
Disease, famine, pestilence.
