00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,640
will not answer questions about the 2020 election

13

I'm John C.

14
00:00:32,660 --> 00:00:36,080
Devorah It's Crackpot and Buzzkill In the morning

15
00:00:36,620 --> 00:00:39,620
Did you call her Pam Bondage?

16
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:42,120
Yeah It's a yes or no question Mr.

17
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:43,480
Devorah, yes or no, I'll take that as

18
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:48,260
a no I love, I love that gag

19
00:00:48,260 --> 00:00:52,300
It's always great These guys It's a yes

20
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:56,720
or no question Yes or no Well, you

21
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,980
know what I noticed during these hearings?

22
00:00:57,980 --> 00:00:59,240
I'll take that as a no I'll take

23
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,960
that as a no You know what I

24
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,060
noticed during these hearings?

25
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,580
Something has shifted The, it's like something is

26
00:01:06,580 --> 00:01:10,520
The veneer has come off And somehow just

27
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,400
nobody cares about the shows that these, it's

28
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,220
all the same Everyone's seen it so many

29
00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:20,540
times The people being questioned aren't rattled by

30
00:01:20,540 --> 00:01:24,480
it anymore It's just They refuse to answer

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,640
questions that they don't want to answer It's

32
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,960
just broken And then they fall into great

33
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:31,960
line With the people It's like Pam Bondage

34
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:35,100
is a great example I love her new

35
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,800
name by the way It's very creative It's

36
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,280
befitting Very creative, yes You know I looked

37
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,400
into her, besides being very accomplished She's a

38
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,980
tri-delt No, no I was just trying

39
00:01:48,980 --> 00:01:50,500
to describe her to Mimi I said well

40
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:52,580
she's, for one thing She just looks and

41
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:55,940
acts like a sorority girl Uh huh Completely,

42
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,380
and she's like But you also get the

43
00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:02,400
And she's pretty, and she's very Telegenic, that's

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:08,520
the key For Trump's picks, telegen Telegenetic And

45
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,280
so she's Telegenetic, she's old She's 50, well

46
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,800
old Not compared to me But she's 59

47
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,680
And she's a tri-delt And so I

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,280
We have to Explain this in a way

49
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,140
This is a sorority that all the babes

50
00:02:27,140 --> 00:02:30,240
Go to when they're in certain Colleges, it's

51
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,720
one of the Probably has the most pretty

52
00:02:33,540 --> 00:02:38,260
Mean girls For our non-American Listeners, it's

53
00:02:38,260 --> 00:02:40,620
pretty much Every American movie you've seen about

54
00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:42,900
a college Or a university, where the hot

55
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:45,280
girl Will never sleep with a nerd Tri

56
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,940
-delt That's it And so she's that type,

57
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,100
but she's been around long Enough now that

58
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:54,640
she's Seems like the kind of woman that

59
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:58,140
would stab you Oh in a heartbeat Yeah,

60
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,680
you just look at her And you just

61
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,160
see that you could Cross-eyed You're gonna

62
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,460
get shivved You know what I like Just

63
00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:10,020
from a television production standpoint As we talk

64
00:03:10,020 --> 00:03:13,420
as executive producers Of this clear production That

65
00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:16,880
is always taking place during these scenarios Every

66
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,200
single time She battered her eyes, my hair

67
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,940
actually Blew back Did you see She did

68
00:03:23,940 --> 00:03:29,560
something with her eyelashes That was outrageous It

69
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,740
was really funny She was, but she was

70
00:03:32,740 --> 00:03:35,900
Holding up against the door The dips from

71
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:40,800
the Democrats Their concentration was on Do you

72
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,540
deny You would tell Trump to deny That

73
00:03:43,540 --> 00:03:47,180
he lost in 2020 That's all they were

74
00:03:47,180 --> 00:03:51,000
Preoccupied about So I have to assume Because

75
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,700
she refused to go Into that at all

76
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:56,960
Well she did her little tricky lawyer bit

77
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,380
Where, Joe Biden's president She did all the

78
00:04:01,380 --> 00:04:04,540
lawyer tricks But the way she did it

79
00:04:04,540 --> 00:04:06,960
It's as though they all think And I

80
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,760
think they might be right She's gonna go

81
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,220
look into it A lot of people don't

82
00:04:15,220 --> 00:04:18,480
like her They don't like her background They

83
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,200
don't like what she's did in the past

84
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,280
She's not necessarily a MAGA favorite Just FYI

85
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:27,600
No she's not She's not a MAGA favorite

86
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,640
I gotta admit I think she'll be hilarious

87
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,600
for us I think she's gonna be the

88
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,660
best Yeah this is good for our last

89
00:04:36,660 --> 00:04:40,400
Our final four And the thing about Julia

90
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,260
It's like she takes Someone could describe her

91
00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:45,560
as she takes no prisoners I don't think

92
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,780
so I think she takes prisoners Yeah That

93
00:04:50,780 --> 00:04:54,080
was good Of course we're all really waiting

94
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,200
for the big one Which will be RFK

95
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,100
There was one moment that I just really

96
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:05,980
liked During Hegseth's Hegseth's Confirmation That was the

97
00:05:05,980 --> 00:05:10,900
Senator from Oklahoma The one who jumped on

98
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:14,320
the Democrats Yes With the lecture Yeah I

99
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,560
got it There's a lot of talk going

100
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,900
about You know of course Pete Hegseth He's

101
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:25,240
a drunk He's a womanizer Another very telegenic

102
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,880
male Very telegenic male He's just no good

103
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,660
And then we get the lecture He's got

104
00:05:32,660 --> 00:05:37,320
weird tattoos Weird tattoos All over your chest

105
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,920
This will not stand You know there's a

106
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,740
lot of talk going about Talking about qualifications

107
00:05:41,740 --> 00:05:44,080
and then about us Hold on a second

108
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,260
Since a troll mentioned it He is on

109
00:05:47,260 --> 00:05:51,640
deck to be President Trump's secretary of defense

110
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,940
Right So he will be running the war

111
00:05:54,940 --> 00:05:56,820
department You know there's a lot of talk

112
00:05:56,820 --> 00:05:59,960
going about Talking about qualifications and then About

113
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:02,220
us hiring him if we are the board

114
00:06:02,220 --> 00:06:03,600
But there's a lot of senators here I

115
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,620
wouldn't have on my board But let me

116
00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:07,800
read you what the qualifications of the secretary

117
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,700
of defense is Because I googled it And

118
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:10,720
I googled it and went through a lot

119
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,180
of different sites And really it's hard to

120
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:13,860
see but in general The U.S. secretary

121
00:06:13,860 --> 00:06:16,240
of defense position is filled by a civilian

122
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:19,520
That's it If you have served in the

123
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,560
U.S. Army Forces And have been in

124
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,040
the service for You have to be retired

125
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,900
for at least 7 years He needed to

126
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:30,360
have like a little rim shot machine And

127
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,200
congress can weigh that And then there's questions

128
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,500
that The senator from Virginia Starts bringing up

129
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:38,180
the fact that What if he showed up

130
00:06:38,180 --> 00:06:41,620
drunk to your job How many senators have

131
00:06:41,620 --> 00:06:46,420
showed up drunk To vote at night Have

132
00:06:46,420 --> 00:06:48,280
any of you guys asked him To step

133
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,120
down and resign from their job And don't

134
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,580
tell me you haven't seen it Because I

135
00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:54,860
know you have And then how many senators

136
00:06:54,860 --> 00:06:56,960
do you know Have gotten a divorce before

137
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,780
cheating on their wives Did you ask them

138
00:06:59,780 --> 00:07:04,200
to step down No But it's for show

139
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,080
You guys make sure you make a big

140
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,200
show And point out the hypocrisy Because a

141
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,960
man's made a mistake And you want to

142
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,860
sit there And say that he's not qualified

143
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,420
Give me a joke That was too bad

144
00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:18,780
He ruined the whole bit by screwing up

145
00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:21,400
that one line Yeah give me a joke

146
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,720
he said I mean what a joke Give

147
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,120
me a break Give me a beat Not

148
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,960
give me a joke That's an instance where

149
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,780
I think he was caught Between those two

150
00:07:32,780 --> 00:07:35,660
lines Those exact two lines you suggested Which

151
00:07:35,660 --> 00:07:37,820
was give me a break Or what a

152
00:07:37,820 --> 00:07:39,960
joke or whatever the other line was And

153
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,380
he got stuck That's crazy He got stuck

154
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:45,020
in the middle And came up with that

155
00:07:45,020 --> 00:07:48,660
stupidity That was too bad I feel the

156
00:07:48,660 --> 00:07:51,800
same way I do have a France 24

157
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:57,740
Overview of Hegseth To see how the NATO

158
00:07:57,740 --> 00:08:00,220
countries View him Which I think will be

159
00:08:00,220 --> 00:08:03,440
worth listening to On Tuesday Donald Trump's nominee

160
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,220
for defense secretary Faced the senate committee test

161
00:08:06,220 --> 00:08:09,320
With validating his appointment He was cheered into

162
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,740
the room by supporters But when he sat

163
00:08:11,740 --> 00:08:14,900
down Pete Hegseth took quite a kicking Over

164
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:17,200
his advocacy in favor of Practices classes What

165
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,280
is this he took quite a kicking What

166
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,480
is that all about France 24 Is this

167
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,740
a phrase I haven't heard Well it's French

168
00:08:24,740 --> 00:08:27,640
English I guess When he sat down Pete

169
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,840
Hegseth took quite a kicking Over his advocacy

170
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,460
in favor of Practices classes torture And championing

171
00:08:34,460 --> 00:08:37,240
convicted war criminals As well as his alleged

172
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,960
financial mismanagement And personal misconduct At the helm

173
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,040
of two veterans advocacy groups When called upon

174
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,040
to make his case to the committee The

175
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,480
Iraq war veteran And former Fox News presenter

176
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,220
suggested The Pentagon under Joe Biden Had fallen

177
00:08:51,220 --> 00:08:53,340
into decay As I've said to many of

178
00:08:53,340 --> 00:08:55,460
you in private meetings When President Trump chose

179
00:08:55,460 --> 00:08:57,460
me for this position The primary charge he

180
00:08:57,460 --> 00:09:00,080
gave me Was to bring the warrior culture

181
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,140
Back to the Department of Defense He like

182
00:09:03,140 --> 00:09:07,720
me wants a Pentagon Laser focused On lethality,

183
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:14,480
meritocracy War fighting, accountability And readiness There's Code

184
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,200
Pink yelling in the background Code Pink always

185
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,020
You can always hire Code Pink to come

186
00:09:19,020 --> 00:09:22,580
and demonstrate His call for meritocracy A rallying

187
00:09:22,580 --> 00:09:25,700
cry against the diversity initiatives He says have

188
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:28,420
weakened The U.S. military He has even

189
00:09:28,420 --> 00:09:29,880
gone so far as to say Women should

190
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,600
not take part in combat And faced allegations

191
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,640
of sexual assault A record not lost On

192
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,400
Democratic lawmakers Or on hecklers at his hearing

193
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,160
You are a misogynist Not only that you

194
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,320
are a Pussy In recent months he has

195
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,440
also been plagued I think the guy said

196
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,180
you're a misogynist Not only that but a

197
00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:54,880
Christian nationalist Something like that Pussy What no

198
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,760
he didn't say pussy Christian nationalist Reports that

199
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,140
he was regularly drunk While appearing on Fox

200
00:10:01,140 --> 00:10:03,500
and Friends A Fox News show that Donald

201
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:06,380
Trump Regularly phoned into By the way I

202
00:10:06,380 --> 00:10:08,860
think all the Fox News hosts Should do

203
00:10:08,860 --> 00:10:11,960
the shows drunk That would improve the channel

204
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,780
Imagine Judge Jeanine Hammered she'd be great The

205
00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:17,940
Democrats on their own Will be unable to

206
00:10:17,940 --> 00:10:21,780
prevent Hegseth's appointment Without some Republican senators Breaking

207
00:10:21,780 --> 00:10:24,580
ranks to oppose him Yeah so what I've

208
00:10:24,580 --> 00:10:27,340
heard is that The donors The donors and

209
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:29,860
the donors Have all said to these Republican

210
00:10:29,860 --> 00:10:36,060
senators If you don't confirm Trump's Nominees We're

211
00:10:36,060 --> 00:10:40,140
going to primary you You'll regret the day

212
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:44,620
I think that makes sense Did you see

213
00:10:44,620 --> 00:10:50,800
any Republicans Dissent No The closest anyone came

214
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:57,440
was Joni Ernst With Hegseth In particular While

215
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,580
during the hearing She did relent and said

216
00:11:00,580 --> 00:11:03,640
she's gonna support him But she wasn't going

217
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,640
to initially But again Like you said Maybe

218
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,640
somebody knocked on her door A phone call

219
00:11:11,180 --> 00:11:16,340
From Miss Joni Hello Miss Joni Joni Ernst

220
00:11:16,340 --> 00:11:21,940
is interesting because From Iowa She was The

221
00:11:21,940 --> 00:11:24,740
hard ass right left I'm sorry the hard

222
00:11:24,740 --> 00:11:26,380
ass right winger When she ran for the

223
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:28,960
first time if you remember She had the

224
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,220
guns And she was shooting Made a big

225
00:11:32,220 --> 00:11:33,760
fuss about the fact that she was a

226
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,100
tough chick And then And pretty And a

227
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:40,440
pretty tough chick Yeah she's no tri-delta

228
00:11:41,580 --> 00:11:45,260
No that's for sure But she had I

229
00:11:45,260 --> 00:11:50,520
think she's been Compromised because she has Become

230
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,360
kind of Made to vote Against Republican interests

231
00:11:56,540 --> 00:11:59,020
I'm just thinking Now I have a few

232
00:11:59,020 --> 00:12:03,900
confirmation Clips Now I have the Pam Bondi

233
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:08,620
Clip of Say her name right Pam Bondi

234
00:12:08,620 --> 00:12:13,780
She is This is not a background This

235
00:12:13,780 --> 00:12:16,900
is an actual hearing clip Only part of

236
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:22,740
a long long Clip This is Holly Who

237
00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:27,660
is Doing what all the Republicans Did showboating

238
00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:33,300
Yeah To an extreme but this particular Point

239
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:35,680
that he's making Here after already He's already

240
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:39,000
showboated for 5 minutes Not really asking her

241
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,940
anything Just going on and on and on

242
00:12:41,940 --> 00:12:44,260
About you know this and that But this

243
00:12:44,260 --> 00:12:47,000
little episode here I thought was kind of

244
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,480
interesting Because he got her to I mean

245
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,600
she When there was a Republican she said

246
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,440
Whatever you want Whatever you want oh yeah

247
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,440

00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,220
Bondage So she So we have but this

249
00:13:03,220 --> 00:13:05,780
is kind of an Interesting little aside This

250
00:13:05,780 --> 00:13:10,880
is about the Catholics And Holly is all

251
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,300
over this and I think this is Actually

00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:14,760
kind of interesting I'm sure you've read about

253
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,540

This memo which I now hold in my

260
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,840
hands This memo that was Developed by the

261
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,480
FBI Field office in Richmond Virginia 23rd January

262
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:44,240
2023 Targeting Catholic parishes For spying For recruitment

263
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,660
of infiltrators I mean the memo goes on

264
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:49,680
And on and on And on about the

265
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:54,340
FBI's To put assets into Catholic Parishes into

266
00:13:54,340 --> 00:13:56,720
choirs Choirs?

267
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,160
Unbelievable Gotta get those pedos Choirs is the

268
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,700
word that got me Putting them in the

269
00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:08,020
choir Anybody here in the office Can sing?

270
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:09,120
Anyone can sing?

271
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,740
Your in here's your assignment You know Was

272
00:14:12,740 --> 00:14:13,800
it only about Catholics?

273
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,320
I thought it was just all Christian Church's

274
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:16,920
period.

275
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:17,740
I don't remember.

276
00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:20,900
No, the memo he has is specific to

277
00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:23,140
Catholics, but he goes on and discusses the

278
00:14:23,140 --> 00:14:24,760
fact that it turns out that they were

279
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,080
targeting all Christians.

280
00:14:26,460 --> 00:14:28,160
Okay, all right, and it is the memo

281
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,020
he has in his hands right now.

282
00:14:30,020 --> 00:14:31,420
In his hands, he's holding the memo, and

283
00:14:31,420 --> 00:14:32,600
when he says on and on and on,

284
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,180
this memo's about a six-page memo.

285
00:14:35,620 --> 00:14:38,040
Wouldn't it be great if Sarah Adams had

286
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,240
showed up in the choir?

287
00:14:44,420 --> 00:14:48,900
This is an unbelievable assault on Americans' First

288
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:50,500
Amendment rights, and we only know of it

289
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:52,840
because of a brave whistleblower who came forward

290
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,260
and released it to us, and I will

291
00:14:54,260 --> 00:14:57,720
tell you, I have never been misled and

292
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,020
lied to like I was by the current

293
00:15:00,020 --> 00:15:02,700
Attorney General and the now former FBI director

294
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:04,640
when they sat right where you're sitting now

295
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,720
and told this committee, oh, we don't know

296
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,760
anything about it.

297
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:10,300
Oh, only one field office was involved.

298
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,300
It was the single work of a single

299
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:14,400
field office and a very few individuals.

300
00:15:14,660 --> 00:15:15,920
As it turns out, that's not true.

301
00:15:16,340 --> 00:15:18,500
Did anyone tell him that Trump already won

302
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:19,000
the election?

303
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,940
That the good guys are coming in?

304
00:15:22,420 --> 00:15:24,680
You know, I mean, is this very necessary,

305
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:25,420
what he's doing?

306
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,900
Yeah, it is for him, because he has

307
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:29,360
to get his showboating in.

308
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,140
You know, he's one of the better ones.

309
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:34,220
Oh, and when it comes to showboating, he's

310
00:15:34,220 --> 00:15:34,520
great.

311
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,780
Yeah, there's no doubt, there's no doubt.

312
00:15:35,860 --> 00:15:36,760
Very entertaining.

313
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:38,900
As it turns out, that's not true.

314
00:15:39,380 --> 00:15:41,200
Multiple field offices were involved.

315
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:43,360
Multiple individuals were involved.

316
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,420
Under your leadership, will you put a stop

317
00:15:47,420 --> 00:15:50,380
to the use of FBI or Department of

318
00:15:50,380 --> 00:15:53,800
Justice resources to try and recruit informants and

319
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,440
spies into Christian churches or any church or

320
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,020
house of worship in this country on the

321
00:15:59,020 --> 00:16:00,380
basis of nothing more than faith?

322
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,920
It's a yes or no question.

323
00:16:03,420 --> 00:16:04,780
Well, let me think.

324
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,960
No, I think I'll continue with the spying

325
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:07,720
on the Christians.

326
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:10,020
That sounded like a really good idea, Senator.

327
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:11,780
Of course, Senator.

328
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:14,440
Let me just say this.

329
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,280
To our knowledge, no one who was involved

330
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,580
in the writing and performance execution of this

331
00:16:21,580 --> 00:16:23,100
memo has been disciplined or fired.

332
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:24,980
Ah, we'll use discipline them.

333
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,220
Will you spank them with a hairbrush, bristle

334
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:27,940
side down?

335
00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:31,620
Will you conduct an investigation like you talked

336
00:16:31,620 --> 00:16:33,520
about, Ms. Bondi, that will get to the

337
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,280
bottom of abuses like this?

338
00:16:35,420 --> 00:16:37,500
And to be clear, this is an outrageous

339
00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:38,460
abuse.

340
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,880
It is an outrageous abuse.

341
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,900
One of the worst abuses of Department of

342
00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:45,880
Justice and FBI authority in our history.

343
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,760
Really, is it worse than the January 6th

344
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:49,120
people?

345
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:50,740
It's outrageous!

346
00:16:50,740 --> 00:16:54,760
Will you conduct an investigation to find out

347
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,400
who signed off on this, who approved it,

348
00:16:57,620 --> 00:17:00,220
who advocated for it within the Department of

349
00:17:00,220 --> 00:17:00,460
Justice?

350
00:17:00,580 --> 00:17:03,240
Will you open the books on these abuses

351
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,300
so that the American people can have confidence

352
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:06,140
in their DOJ?

353
00:17:06,380 --> 00:17:06,619
Yeah.

354
00:17:06,819 --> 00:17:08,339
Senator, and I think what you're talking about

355
00:17:08,339 --> 00:17:10,760
is the ultimate weaponization, what we've been discussing

356
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:11,280
all day.

357
00:17:11,420 --> 00:17:14,160
If I am confirmed as Attorney General, one

358
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,920
of the first things I will do, there'll

359
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,640
be many.

360
00:17:16,980 --> 00:17:17,640
Laugh Tale?

361
00:17:17,740 --> 00:17:19,660
What's the Laugh Tale about, Bondi?

362
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,780
One of the first things I will do.

363
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,520
Senator, and I think what you're talking about

364
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,960
is the ultimate weaponization, what we've been discussing

365
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:31,480
all day.

366
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,360
If I am confirmed as Attorney General, one

367
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:36,100
of the first things I will do, there'll

368
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:36,800
be many.

369
00:17:37,140 --> 00:17:40,000
But I will personally read that memo, and

370
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,620
if Mr. Patel is confirmed, discuss it with

371
00:17:42,620 --> 00:17:43,440
him right away.

372
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,300
We're gonna get you.

373
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,340
That's what that Laugh Tale was.

374
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,320
We're gonna get you.

375
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,940
We're coming for you, Stooges.

376
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:54,560
Yep.

377
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:55,360
Yeah.

378
00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:55,720
Yeah.

379
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:56,080
Yeah.

380
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:56,700
No, that's good.

381
00:17:57,220 --> 00:17:57,380
Yeah.

382
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:57,940
Yeah.

383
00:17:58,060 --> 00:18:01,360
Now here's the, here's the clip that is...

384
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:02,900
I have to say, it's entertaining.

385
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,360
C-SPAN becomes entertaining once every cycle, four

386
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:09,360
years, and it's just kind of cool to

387
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:09,680
watch.

388
00:18:09,780 --> 00:18:11,000
You know, you can leave it on all

389
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,860
day, and like...

390
00:18:12,860 --> 00:18:15,240
You know, it's not as clippable as I'd

391
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:15,480
like.

392
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,060
That clip was too long.

393
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:17,540
Too long.

394
00:18:17,580 --> 00:18:19,040
Well, that's why I interrupted it a lot,

395
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:20,060
to move it along.

396
00:18:20,340 --> 00:18:22,000
But it's like, all of them are that

397
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,960
way, and it's really only part of about

398
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:24,540
an eight...

399
00:18:24,540 --> 00:18:26,420
They're supposed to give them five minutes, but

400
00:18:26,420 --> 00:18:27,820
they go seven, eight.

401
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:28,600
Yeah.

402
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:29,380
Who was in charge?

403
00:18:29,460 --> 00:18:30,900
Was it Republican chairman?

404
00:18:30,980 --> 00:18:31,120
No.

405
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,300
Well, it's a Senate hearing, so you end

406
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:34,260
up with Kamala.

407
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:35,960
It should have been Kamala.

408
00:18:37,620 --> 00:18:38,160
No, no.

409
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:39,780
She's only a tiebreaker.

410
00:18:40,020 --> 00:18:40,660
Oh, okay.

411
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,040
The hearing she did, she had nothing to

412
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:42,540
do with hearings.

413
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:45,700
So let's go to...

414
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:48,320
This is the Bondi BS summary clip.

415
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,560
Pam Bondi, Trump's pick for attorney general after

416
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,240
Matt Gaetz stepped down from consideration, had her

417
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,120
confirmation hearing this Wednesday, a very partisan hearing

418
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:04,100
with Senate Republicans highlighting the need for reform

419
00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:07,680
within the Justice Department and Senate Democrats, grilling

420
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,020
Pam Bondi over her involvement in the election

421
00:19:11,020 --> 00:19:14,440
fraud claims that the Trump campaign made back

422
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,480
in 2021.

423
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,120
Ms. Bondi is highly qualified.

424
00:19:19,580 --> 00:19:22,660
And of course, as we all know, a

425
00:19:22,660 --> 00:19:25,500
change is desperately needed.

426
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,660
It is critical that any nominee for this

427
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:31,080
position be committed first and foremost to the

428
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,200
Constitution and the American people.

429
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:33,900
Not to the president.

430
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:36,420
Not any president or political agenda.

431
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:40,040
But President Trump claims he has, quote, an

432
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,200
absolute right to do what he wants with

433
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,140
the Justice Department.

434
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:46,740
And that's how he conducted his first term.

435
00:19:48,260 --> 00:19:48,780
Yeah.

436
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:49,320
Oh, yeah.

437
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:50,300
Yeah.

438
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,820
He had that well under control during the

439
00:19:51,820 --> 00:19:52,680
first term, didn't he?

440
00:19:53,460 --> 00:19:54,660
Really under control.

441
00:19:55,180 --> 00:19:55,560
Yeah.

442
00:19:55,860 --> 00:19:56,580
That's hilarious.

443
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:57,480
That's hilarious.

444
00:19:58,220 --> 00:20:00,640
So then another guy that the one that

445
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,900
got through that didn't get much discussion, but

446
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:04,460
I ended up getting the clips because I

447
00:20:04,460 --> 00:20:05,920
know it wasn't going to be part of

448
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,020
it.

449
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:06,400
Rubio.

450
00:20:07,220 --> 00:20:08,560
Rubio just waltz.

451
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:09,180
Oh, yeah.

452
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:10,600
No, they love the Rubes.

453
00:20:11,060 --> 00:20:13,360
They like Rubio a lot because they think

454
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:16,300
that because of that one, I think the

455
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:19,320
Democrats still hearken back to Rubio and the

456
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,560
small hands joke.

457
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,180
And the water and the water splashing.

458
00:20:23,820 --> 00:20:24,660
And yeah.

459
00:20:25,420 --> 00:20:27,660
And so because Rubio was, you know, he's

460
00:20:27,660 --> 00:20:30,780
the only guy who could actually handle Trump.

461
00:20:31,060 --> 00:20:31,860
He stood up to him.

462
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:33,660
He stood up to him.

463
00:20:33,860 --> 00:20:34,660
He stood up to him.

464
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:35,860
These are tiny.

465
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,700
The tiny hands of material was quite good.

466
00:20:38,780 --> 00:20:39,460
It's stuck.

467
00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:40,960
Do we still have those clips?

468
00:20:41,060 --> 00:20:41,540
Let me see.

469
00:20:42,420 --> 00:20:43,840
Tiny hands.

470
00:20:44,140 --> 00:20:45,620
And he was getting big laughs.

471
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:48,300
Yeah, but he got pushback, I think, from

472
00:20:48,300 --> 00:20:48,980
his own people.

473
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:51,460
Hey, don't try to be so funny because

474
00:20:51,460 --> 00:20:53,260
Rubio is actually pretty funny.

475
00:20:53,620 --> 00:20:56,860
Well, he was a cabaret dancer, so he

476
00:20:56,860 --> 00:20:58,320
comes from show business.

477
00:20:58,540 --> 00:20:59,980
He was a male stripper.

478
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,800
I don't think we have that documented, but

479
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,800
it seems that he probably was.

480
00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:07,860
He comes from show business, so he understands.

481
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:10,480
He's in the same camp as, as I

482
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,480
would say, McCrone and Zelensky.

483
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,960
And Zelensky.

484
00:21:17,180 --> 00:21:18,820
No, Trudeau and Zelensky in particular.

485
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,240
Yeah, Zelensky is a male stripper.

486
00:21:22,820 --> 00:21:25,480
So let's listen to these things on Rubio.

487
00:21:25,820 --> 00:21:28,440
This is a confirmation Rubio anal.

488
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:32,460
Your clip title.

489
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:33,420
That means analysis.

490
00:21:33,620 --> 00:21:33,720
Yes.

491
00:21:33,980 --> 00:21:35,040
I'm well aware.

492
00:21:35,260 --> 00:21:36,020
It's still disturbing.

493
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,820
Joining us now to react to the confirmation

494
00:21:37,820 --> 00:21:40,620
hearing for Marco Rubio is Armen Kurdian, U

495
00:21:40,620 --> 00:21:43,440
.S. Navy captain and political strategist.

496
00:21:43,820 --> 00:21:45,060
Armen, thank you so much for joining us.

497
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:45,740
Good to see you again.

498
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,300
Now, to begin, how do you think the

499
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:49,940
confirmation hearing for Marco Rubio went today?

500
00:21:50,180 --> 00:21:53,120
I think Marco Rubio is a brilliant individual.

501
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,180
Good afternoon, Tiffany.

502
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,560
And I think he has.

503
00:21:56,740 --> 00:21:59,100
Hey, that's, that's, that's an interesting way of

504
00:21:59,100 --> 00:21:59,800
doing it.

505
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,560
You just answer the question, then you throw

506
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:01,840
in the end.

507
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:02,720
Good afternoon, Tiffany.

508
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:03,260
How are you doing?

509
00:22:03,340 --> 00:22:03,780
Went today.

510
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:06,740
I think Marco Rubio is a brilliant individual.

511
00:22:06,740 --> 00:22:10,380
Yeah, it's like, yes, I've never, now that

512
00:22:10,380 --> 00:22:12,300
you mention it, that's a stylistic difference.

513
00:22:12,380 --> 00:22:14,220
I've not heard anyone do.

514
00:22:14,420 --> 00:22:14,900
I like it.

515
00:22:15,020 --> 00:22:15,640
I like it.

516
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,600
You hit the ground running.

517
00:22:17,860 --> 00:22:18,020
So the.

518
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,740
Because most of the guys, I noticed this

519
00:22:19,740 --> 00:22:21,400
when you hit the show, the five that

520
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,940
always has the one Democrat in there.

521
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:23,360
Yeah.

522
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,580
They always say thanks for, they always do

523
00:22:25,580 --> 00:22:27,540
the thank you, I'm glad to be here,

524
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,440
blah, blah, blah, at the very beginning.

525
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:30,520
Yeah, like.

526
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,300
And it kind of, it doesn't get, it's,

527
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:35,260
you're right, this structure is better.

528
00:22:35,260 --> 00:22:38,060
Yes, I think that NPR should start doing

529
00:22:38,060 --> 00:22:38,380
this.

530
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,200
They're never going to do anything.

531
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,140
Marco Rubio is a brilliant individual.

532
00:22:43,140 --> 00:22:44,260
Good afternoon, Tiffany.

533
00:22:44,460 --> 00:22:47,500
And I think he has already gotten a

534
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:50,000
lot of positive accolades from his colleagues on

535
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:50,980
both sides of the aisle.

536
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,420
He has a very strong grasp of the

537
00:22:53,420 --> 00:22:56,880
of the issues that face this country and

538
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,800
has is very intelligent, very well-spoken and

539
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,640
also very well-rounded.

540
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,560
And I think he's to get a lot

541
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,100
of Democrats to vote for him when this

542
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:05,900
is all done and said.

543
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:07,340
To your point, it does seem this was

544
00:23:07,340 --> 00:23:10,240
the friendliest of the confirmation hearings so far.

545
00:23:10,580 --> 00:23:12,820
Now, Rubio said in his opening statement, quote,

546
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,100
the 21st century will be defined by what

547
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:17,620
happens between the United States and China.

548
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,180
How do you see relations between the US

549
00:23:20,180 --> 00:23:22,620
and China going forward under President Trump and

550
00:23:22,620 --> 00:23:24,160
Rubio as secretary of state?

551
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,840
It needs to be a lot more frank,

552
00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:27,620
a lot more direct.

553
00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:31,040
China has been taking advantage of the United

554
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,440
States in a lot of different ways.

555
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,300
You know, we know a lot of the

556
00:23:34,300 --> 00:23:35,340
issues they have with trade.

557
00:23:35,460 --> 00:23:39,120
But of course, the intellectual intellectual property theft,

558
00:23:39,340 --> 00:23:41,520
especially from our defense industry, if you just

559
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,440
look at a lot of their mainline aircraft,

560
00:23:43,940 --> 00:23:47,100
their submarines and their systems and equipments, it

561
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:50,280
very much is similar to our own.

562
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,460
So that's a problem needs to stop.

563
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,860
Also, a lot of these cyber attacks, which,

564
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,460
you know, the Chinese government says it wasn't

565
00:23:56,460 --> 00:23:58,300
us, but I'm certain it was a lot

566
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:01,040
of their proxies or perhaps, you know, some

567
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,300
kind of public private partnership that's going after

568
00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:03,760
the United States.

569
00:24:03,820 --> 00:24:04,540
We're going to have to get a lot

570
00:24:04,540 --> 00:24:06,020
more aggressive with this kind of thing.

571
00:24:06,380 --> 00:24:07,660
China has said they want to be ready

572
00:24:07,660 --> 00:24:10,780
to have a military that could mobilize and,

573
00:24:10,780 --> 00:24:13,220
say, take Taiwan by the year 2027.

574
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,600
That's going to happen during the next administration.

575
00:24:16,220 --> 00:24:18,180
And China has been building a lot of

576
00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:20,580
missiles, a lot of other weapons that could

577
00:24:20,580 --> 00:24:21,660
actually make that happen.

578
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:24,120
And in a lot of the scenarios, the

579
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:26,780
war games that the US fights against a

580
00:24:26,780 --> 00:24:29,040
virtual Chinese adversary, the US does not do

581
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,120
well and doesn't always win.

582
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:32,660
Yeah, this is why everybody loves him, because

583
00:24:32,660 --> 00:24:35,380
he's he's rattling the cage for China.

584
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,740
But we already know the asphalt guys are

585
00:24:37,740 --> 00:24:39,120
laying down runways.

586
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:41,180
The ship builders are getting ready to build

587
00:24:41,180 --> 00:24:42,740
a big, beautiful, beautiful ships.

588
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:45,300
This is what everybody wants.

589
00:24:45,380 --> 00:24:48,420
Everybody wants to go against China.

590
00:24:48,860 --> 00:24:50,660
So, yeah, he's the perfect guy.

591
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,260
He gets it.

592
00:24:54,220 --> 00:24:56,540
There was a report that was I haven't

593
00:24:56,540 --> 00:24:59,760
heard any, any clips from, but it was

594
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,840
a written report on how China has just

595
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,920
produced 1 million drones.

596
00:25:09,010 --> 00:25:10,350
Yeah, wouldn't surprise me.

597
00:25:11,190 --> 00:25:13,370
That's, that's an interesting force.

598
00:25:13,370 --> 00:25:15,490
Because if you had a million, then you're

599
00:25:15,490 --> 00:25:18,690
not talking about 20 or five, or a

600
00:25:18,690 --> 00:25:20,530
couple of drones coming over, we're talking about

601
00:25:20,530 --> 00:25:21,230
a million.

602
00:25:21,670 --> 00:25:24,510
If you had a million drones attack a,

603
00:25:24,530 --> 00:25:28,910
anything, it could cause a lot of damage.

604
00:25:29,990 --> 00:25:33,510
Yeah, a million drones, not even with bombs

605
00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:35,230
on them just coming at you, you know,

606
00:25:35,270 --> 00:25:40,810
that DJI dropped their automatic no fly zone

607
00:25:40,810 --> 00:25:43,150
capability in their drones.

608
00:25:44,070 --> 00:25:46,530
So no longer are they geo fenced, you'll

609
00:25:46,530 --> 00:25:48,890
get a warning, if you're flying your drone

610
00:25:48,890 --> 00:25:51,330
near no fly zone, but it won't automatically

611
00:25:51,330 --> 00:25:53,410
stay away from it, which I thought was

612
00:25:53,410 --> 00:25:55,110
an interesting move by the company.

613
00:25:55,970 --> 00:25:56,490
That's it.

614
00:25:56,570 --> 00:25:57,310
That is interesting.

615
00:25:57,390 --> 00:25:59,450
I'm not sure why other than, you know,

616
00:25:59,490 --> 00:26:02,550
putting the responsibility back onto the operator where

617
00:26:02,550 --> 00:26:03,970
it ultimately belongs.

618
00:26:05,570 --> 00:26:06,970
But I think we're going to see a

619
00:26:06,970 --> 00:26:10,090
lot more drones where they're not supposed to

620
00:26:10,090 --> 00:26:11,030
be because of this.

621
00:26:12,810 --> 00:26:14,390
Yeah, I would think so too.

622
00:26:14,490 --> 00:26:16,530
Let's go flip to Rubio.

623
00:26:16,930 --> 00:26:19,430
Now during Senator Rubio's hearing, the news broke

624
00:26:19,430 --> 00:26:21,450
that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the

625
00:26:21,450 --> 00:26:22,970
ceasefire and hostage deal.

626
00:26:23,310 --> 00:26:25,170
Now Rubio didn't have a comment on that

627
00:26:25,170 --> 00:26:25,810
at the time.

628
00:26:25,890 --> 00:26:28,750
Now the former IDF spokesperson saying on CNN

629
00:26:28,750 --> 00:26:31,190
last night that with Trump's threat that there

630
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:33,090
would be held to pay if hostages weren't

631
00:26:33,090 --> 00:26:35,190
released by the time he returned to office,

632
00:26:35,290 --> 00:26:37,570
no party wanted to be the spoil the

633
00:26:37,570 --> 00:26:37,890
deal.

634
00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:40,230
What do you make of the argument that

635
00:26:40,230 --> 00:26:42,970
Trump was the driving force behind this deal?

636
00:26:43,250 --> 00:26:45,170
I think it's absolutely correct because that is

637
00:26:45,170 --> 00:26:47,210
a change in the calculus for Hamas.

638
00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:49,210
That is a big thing that changed on

639
00:26:49,210 --> 00:26:51,070
November 5th following the election.

640
00:26:52,430 --> 00:26:53,550
And I think it also has to do

641
00:26:53,550 --> 00:26:56,610
a lot more with how Trump handled the

642
00:26:56,610 --> 00:26:58,890
nation of Iran during his administration and will

643
00:26:58,890 --> 00:27:00,030
do the same thing again.

644
00:27:00,670 --> 00:27:05,010
So Iran is perhaps hopeful that if they

645
00:27:05,010 --> 00:27:07,390
can compel Hamas to surrender, and I can't

646
00:27:07,390 --> 00:27:09,230
believe for a second that Iran hasn't been

647
00:27:09,230 --> 00:27:10,910
working behind the scenes telling Hamas that you

648
00:27:10,910 --> 00:27:12,270
guys need to let the hostages go or

649
00:27:12,270 --> 00:27:13,370
it's going to be really, really bad for

650
00:27:13,370 --> 00:27:16,150
us, that this is a big impetus and

651
00:27:16,150 --> 00:27:17,510
a big reason why this has happened.

652
00:27:17,710 --> 00:27:19,330
As for the rest of the structure of

653
00:27:19,330 --> 00:27:21,150
the deal in terms of the number of

654
00:27:21,150 --> 00:27:22,490
hostages that are going to be released, the

655
00:27:22,490 --> 00:27:24,610
number of prisoners that can be released, Israel's

656
00:27:24,610 --> 00:27:28,190
withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, I think baby

657
00:27:28,190 --> 00:27:28,910
steps are good.

658
00:27:29,210 --> 00:27:31,890
What I also heard was that initially it

659
00:27:31,890 --> 00:27:36,590
would be nine hostages for 110 prisoners, Palestinian

660
00:27:36,590 --> 00:27:38,550
prisoners that came from a Hamas spokesman.

661
00:27:38,650 --> 00:27:40,650
Well, I don't know if that's entirely accurate,

662
00:27:40,850 --> 00:27:42,950
but regardless of what the number is, it's

663
00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:44,250
substantive and it's tangible.

664
00:27:45,010 --> 00:27:48,750
And I think Israel itself is also, they

665
00:27:48,750 --> 00:27:50,570
are strained fighting this war as well.

666
00:27:50,610 --> 00:27:52,170
It has taken an immense toll on them.

667
00:27:52,290 --> 00:27:53,890
So I'm sure there's a lot of folks

668
00:27:53,890 --> 00:27:55,510
who are eager on the Israeli side to

669
00:27:55,510 --> 00:27:56,190
see this war end.

670
00:27:56,410 --> 00:27:58,570
Before we get to that, I want to

671
00:27:58,570 --> 00:28:01,350
play the money shot from Rubio because he

672
00:28:01,350 --> 00:28:02,590
did have a money shot.

673
00:28:02,670 --> 00:28:03,710
He had a money shot.

674
00:28:04,450 --> 00:28:07,270
And this is the Rubio money shot that

675
00:28:07,270 --> 00:28:08,210
got him confirmed.

676
00:28:08,510 --> 00:28:10,670
During a friendly hearing in front of a

677
00:28:10,670 --> 00:28:12,910
committee where he has worked for 14 years,

678
00:28:13,210 --> 00:28:15,550
Marco Rubio set out his worldview to fellow

679
00:28:15,550 --> 00:28:18,770
senators defending Trump's policy of America first.

680
00:28:19,010 --> 00:28:21,790
Trump's nominee for secretary of state described China

681
00:28:21,790 --> 00:28:26,570
as America's Communist Party of China is that

682
00:28:26,570 --> 00:28:31,210
leads PRC is the most potent and dangerous

683
00:28:31,210 --> 00:28:33,630
near peer adversary this nation has ever confronted.

684
00:28:33,890 --> 00:28:34,990
If we stay on the road we're on

685
00:28:34,990 --> 00:28:37,630
right now, in less than 10 years, virtually

686
00:28:37,630 --> 00:28:39,350
everything that matters to us in life will

687
00:28:39,350 --> 00:28:40,910
depend on whether China will allow us to

688
00:28:40,910 --> 00:28:41,470
have it or not.

689
00:28:41,610 --> 00:28:44,070
He pledged to boost defenses of Taiwan, the

690
00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:46,810
self governing democratic island that Beijing claims as

691
00:28:46,810 --> 00:28:48,930
its own to avoid what he called a

692
00:28:48,930 --> 00:28:50,610
cataclysmic military intervention.

693
00:28:50,610 --> 00:28:54,210
Rubio also criticized President Biden's recent decision to

694
00:28:54,210 --> 00:28:56,770
remove Cuba from a list of terrorism sponsors

695
00:28:56,770 --> 00:28:59,010
and hinted that he would reverse the move.

696
00:28:59,330 --> 00:29:01,950
Whereas Trump has sparked anger overseas by threatening

697
00:29:01,950 --> 00:29:05,070
to withdraw from NATO, Rubio distanced himself from

698
00:29:05,070 --> 00:29:06,790
talk of pulling out of the alliance.

699
00:29:07,030 --> 00:29:09,370
Speaking about the war in Ukraine, which Trump

700
00:29:09,370 --> 00:29:11,050
pledged to end within a day of taking

701
00:29:11,050 --> 00:29:13,910
office, the senator insisted that both Russia and

702
00:29:13,910 --> 00:29:15,970
Ukraine would need to make concessions to halt

703
00:29:15,970 --> 00:29:16,530
the fighting.

704
00:29:16,870 --> 00:29:18,070
This war has to end.

705
00:29:18,490 --> 00:29:19,490
And I think it should be the official

706
00:29:19,490 --> 00:29:20,890
policy of the United States that we want

707
00:29:20,890 --> 00:29:21,570
to see it end.

708
00:29:21,970 --> 00:29:23,770
Now what that master plan looks like is

709
00:29:23,770 --> 00:29:25,130
going to be hard work.

710
00:29:25,470 --> 00:29:26,490
This is not going to be an easy

711
00:29:26,490 --> 00:29:26,890
endeavor.

712
00:29:27,570 --> 00:29:29,870
But it's going to require bold diplomacy.

713
00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:31,530
And my hope is that it can begin

714
00:29:31,530 --> 00:29:32,770
with some ceasefire.

715
00:29:33,090 --> 00:29:34,750
That's a shown up money shot.

716
00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:35,670
Jesus.

717
00:29:37,250 --> 00:29:38,890
Yeah, China the money shot.

718
00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:39,350
It's good.

719
00:29:39,890 --> 00:29:42,470
But none of that none of that excited

720
00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:46,050
people as much as the big announcement about

721
00:29:46,050 --> 00:29:46,890
the inauguration.

722
00:29:47,010 --> 00:29:48,150
You hear about the big announcement?

723
00:29:49,790 --> 00:29:52,510
Well, before you get off track, we might

724
00:29:52,510 --> 00:29:53,710
as well play this last clip.

725
00:29:54,690 --> 00:29:56,090
But the big announcement?

726
00:29:56,490 --> 00:29:57,150
No, I'll wait.

727
00:29:57,310 --> 00:29:57,470
I'll wait.

728
00:29:57,750 --> 00:29:59,370
Carrie Underwood's gonna sing?

729
00:29:59,590 --> 00:29:59,850
No.

730
00:30:00,050 --> 00:30:02,850
Or the YMCA or the village people?

731
00:30:03,530 --> 00:30:06,910
Widely considered a gay anthem from the 1970s,

732
00:30:06,950 --> 00:30:09,770
the pop hit YMCA has been following Donald

733
00:30:09,770 --> 00:30:10,130
Trump.

734
00:30:11,010 --> 00:30:13,450
In rally after rally, it's catchy chorus or

735
00:30:13,450 --> 00:30:16,150
the incoming president let loose during the campaign.

736
00:30:16,830 --> 00:30:19,050
Now the village people have confirmed they will

737
00:30:19,050 --> 00:30:21,530
be performing at one of Trump's inaugural balls

738
00:30:21,530 --> 00:30:23,830
and a gathering he's holding in Washington the

739
00:30:23,830 --> 00:30:25,210
day before he's sworn in.

740
00:30:25,810 --> 00:30:28,310
He'll be performing at his inaugural ball.

741
00:30:28,510 --> 00:30:29,990
So they had they had to go grab

742
00:30:29,990 --> 00:30:31,570
the you know, these guys are retired.

743
00:30:31,770 --> 00:30:33,010
So they had to put the group back

744
00:30:33,010 --> 00:30:33,350
together.

745
00:30:33,490 --> 00:30:33,850
Oh, yeah.

746
00:30:33,950 --> 00:30:35,310
Oh, I think one of them's dead.

747
00:30:36,270 --> 00:30:38,310
I think it's put him up there.

748
00:30:38,410 --> 00:30:40,990
I think the cowboys did one of the

749
00:30:40,990 --> 00:30:42,570
one of them passed away, I think.

750
00:30:43,490 --> 00:30:45,090
Yeah, let's get back to this.

751
00:30:45,190 --> 00:30:46,950
This is the last clip of the Rubio

752
00:30:46,950 --> 00:30:47,210
series.

753
00:30:47,330 --> 00:30:48,630
I do want to mention something that's not

754
00:30:48,630 --> 00:30:49,070
in here.

755
00:30:49,170 --> 00:30:51,510
But when they talked about number of hostages

756
00:30:51,510 --> 00:30:55,170
released, the number that finally three.

757
00:30:56,090 --> 00:30:56,530
Yep.

758
00:30:57,150 --> 00:30:57,590
33.

759
00:30:58,030 --> 00:30:58,990
We know it's code.

760
00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:00,410
That means it's over, boys.

761
00:31:00,850 --> 00:31:01,770
It means something.

762
00:31:01,930 --> 00:31:03,730
End of op, end of op, end of

763
00:31:03,730 --> 00:31:04,770
op, end of op.

764
00:31:05,410 --> 00:31:07,490
33 could be like it.

765
00:31:07,590 --> 00:31:07,770
Yes.

766
00:31:07,830 --> 00:31:09,870
Because, yeah, yeah, yeah.

767
00:31:10,630 --> 00:31:11,070
End of op.

768
00:31:11,730 --> 00:31:12,330
All right.

769
00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:13,870
What's your final Rubio clip?

770
00:31:14,830 --> 00:31:16,190
It's the same confirmation.

771
00:31:16,530 --> 00:31:17,150
Rubio three.

772
00:31:17,570 --> 00:31:18,330
Oh, got it.

773
00:31:18,410 --> 00:31:20,490
Now, when it comes to Europe, Rubio said

774
00:31:20,490 --> 00:31:22,510
in terms of Russia and Ukraine, quote, there

775
00:31:22,510 --> 00:31:25,310
will have to be concessions made, adding this

776
00:31:25,310 --> 00:31:27,130
conflict needs to end.

777
00:31:27,290 --> 00:31:29,510
What changes might we see in terms of

778
00:31:29,510 --> 00:31:31,950
the Russia-Ukraine war under this new administration?

779
00:31:32,350 --> 00:31:34,290
It's going to be very hard to say.

780
00:31:34,830 --> 00:31:36,390
Donald Trump, as I've said many times, is

781
00:31:36,390 --> 00:31:37,750
very, very transactional.

782
00:31:38,370 --> 00:31:41,350
Where we are right now, basically when Donald

783
00:31:41,350 --> 00:31:44,070
Trump takes office on January 20th, everything that

784
00:31:44,070 --> 00:31:46,770
happened beforehand is a sunk cost.

785
00:31:46,890 --> 00:31:48,530
There's nothing that he can do about it

786
00:31:48,530 --> 00:31:49,130
to change.

787
00:31:49,610 --> 00:31:51,930
Considering the amount of territory that Ukraine has

788
00:31:51,930 --> 00:31:55,290
lost to Russia, it's I don't know how

789
00:31:55,290 --> 00:31:56,470
Ukraine is going to be able to take

790
00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:57,490
it all back.

791
00:31:57,990 --> 00:31:59,570
It's going to be an exceptional challenge.

792
00:31:59,650 --> 00:32:01,890
At the same time, Russia is also at

793
00:32:01,890 --> 00:32:03,570
its limit in terms of its wartime economy.

794
00:32:03,730 --> 00:32:04,990
I don't know how much longer they can

795
00:32:04,990 --> 00:32:06,610
continue on with the war.

796
00:32:06,910 --> 00:32:09,750
Ukraine is also suffering an incredible strain as

797
00:32:09,750 --> 00:32:09,970
well.

798
00:32:10,750 --> 00:32:12,690
I think in the end, whether or not

799
00:32:12,690 --> 00:32:14,390
we like it, Russia may end up with

800
00:32:14,390 --> 00:32:15,170
a part of Ukraine.

801
00:32:15,270 --> 00:32:16,470
They may get a lot of what they

802
00:32:16,470 --> 00:32:16,830
want.

803
00:32:17,390 --> 00:32:21,370
But hopefully Trump and the Western powers can

804
00:32:21,370 --> 00:32:25,090
perhaps exert more threats or perhaps show, say,

805
00:32:25,150 --> 00:32:27,910
hey, if you don't take, say, perhaps half

806
00:32:27,910 --> 00:32:30,510
a loaf, if you will, use that kind

807
00:32:30,510 --> 00:32:33,070
of an example, say, you know, some of

808
00:32:33,070 --> 00:32:34,730
the territory that they managed to capture instead

809
00:32:34,730 --> 00:32:37,230
of all of it, that the allies, the

810
00:32:37,230 --> 00:32:38,730
Western powers are going to come in even

811
00:32:38,730 --> 00:32:40,390
stronger to support Ukraine.

812
00:32:40,990 --> 00:32:43,050
And frankly, there's a lot of things that

813
00:32:43,050 --> 00:32:44,690
went wrong all the way up to this.

814
00:32:44,750 --> 00:32:46,070
This war should never have happened in the

815
00:32:46,070 --> 00:32:46,650
first place.

816
00:32:47,130 --> 00:32:48,690
We were too slow to give them military

817
00:32:48,690 --> 00:32:49,110
aid.

818
00:32:49,470 --> 00:32:51,730
Congress was very slow to act on times,

819
00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:55,450
engaging in politics, a six month delay in

820
00:32:55,450 --> 00:32:57,430
terms of getting Ukraine the artillery it needs.

821
00:32:57,530 --> 00:32:59,710
We didn't ramp up in terms of manufacturing

822
00:32:59,710 --> 00:33:00,450
the artillery it needs.

823
00:33:00,570 --> 00:33:02,750
So a lot of that also lies on

824
00:33:02,750 --> 00:33:04,470
us in terms of where the situation is.

825
00:33:04,510 --> 00:33:06,330
So we are, I think, just as much

826
00:33:06,330 --> 00:33:08,730
to blame for preventing this war as Russia

827
00:33:08,730 --> 00:33:09,410
is from starting.

828
00:33:09,570 --> 00:33:09,750
Yeah.

829
00:33:09,850 --> 00:33:11,070
Who was that guy?

830
00:33:12,470 --> 00:33:13,210
Blah, blah, blah.

831
00:33:14,190 --> 00:33:18,430
So before you jump ahead, he did mention

832
00:33:18,430 --> 00:33:19,950
Trump doing stuff right away.

833
00:33:20,110 --> 00:33:22,110
Have you heard the tiny desk story?

834
00:33:24,030 --> 00:33:25,570
I don't, I don't know.

835
00:33:25,690 --> 00:33:26,550
Here, play the clip.

836
00:33:26,670 --> 00:33:27,790
You'll get a kick out of it.

837
00:33:27,950 --> 00:33:29,370
Trump and the tiny desk.

838
00:33:29,370 --> 00:33:30,110
Oh, OK.

839
00:33:30,910 --> 00:33:33,030
It's like a tiny desk story.

840
00:33:33,170 --> 00:33:34,170
Here we go.

841
00:33:34,770 --> 00:33:37,010
On the campaign trail, Trump joked he'd have

842
00:33:37,010 --> 00:33:40,390
a tiny desk next to the inauguration podium

843
00:33:40,390 --> 00:33:43,570
so he could start signing executive orders immediately

844
00:33:43,570 --> 00:33:44,770
after his speech.

845
00:33:44,970 --> 00:33:47,190
While there hasn't been an official announcement about

846
00:33:47,190 --> 00:33:49,210
that, the soon to be president is expected

847
00:33:49,210 --> 00:33:51,950
to sign numerous executive orders in the first

848
00:33:51,950 --> 00:33:54,690
few hours and days of his next administration.

849
00:33:54,690 --> 00:33:57,830
It may be the biggest day of executive

850
00:33:57,830 --> 00:33:59,630
order signing in American history.

851
00:33:59,790 --> 00:34:01,290
I've heard it's going to be a hundred.

852
00:34:02,250 --> 00:34:02,730
Yeah, a hundred.

853
00:34:02,910 --> 00:34:03,790
That's what the number is.

854
00:34:03,990 --> 00:34:05,050
But the tiny desk.

855
00:34:06,070 --> 00:34:07,210
What a tiny desk.

856
00:34:07,670 --> 00:34:08,909
I doubt it.

857
00:34:08,969 --> 00:34:10,570
Sit down right away and start signing.

858
00:34:10,730 --> 00:34:12,330
I heard he was going to start signing

859
00:34:13,730 --> 00:34:16,090
from the steps on the way in the

860
00:34:16,090 --> 00:34:17,830
limo back to the White House.

861
00:34:17,969 --> 00:34:19,150
They were going to start signing him in

862
00:34:19,150 --> 00:34:21,650
the car with his tiny desk as good.

863
00:34:22,050 --> 00:34:22,650
We do.

864
00:34:22,710 --> 00:34:25,150
We do have breaking news at this hour,

865
00:34:25,290 --> 00:34:25,550
John.

866
00:34:25,670 --> 00:34:27,150
Breaking news at this hour.

867
00:34:27,190 --> 00:34:27,550
Breaking.

868
00:34:27,870 --> 00:34:28,370
Well, good morning.

869
00:34:28,489 --> 00:34:31,690
Earlier today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said

870
00:34:31,690 --> 00:34:35,489
Hamas objected to Israel's ability to stop the

871
00:34:35,489 --> 00:34:36,989
release of certain prisoners.

872
00:34:37,150 --> 00:34:39,489
However, the deal isn't a sure thing with

873
00:34:39,489 --> 00:34:41,770
Israel this morning, saying it wouldn't ratify the

874
00:34:41,770 --> 00:34:44,510
deal until Hamas stops a backtracking on already

875
00:34:44,510 --> 00:34:45,810
agreed upon details.

876
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:47,969
But this is the closest the two sides

877
00:34:47,969 --> 00:34:49,929
have come in months, and there is hope

878
00:34:49,929 --> 00:34:51,230
it will come to fruition.

879
00:34:51,830 --> 00:34:54,449
Hamas is still holding nearly 100 people hostage,

880
00:34:54,850 --> 00:34:55,949
including some Americans.

881
00:34:56,510 --> 00:34:59,510
The news is welcome across America as we

882
00:34:59,510 --> 00:35:03,570
are finally getting Americans returned, just as there's

883
00:35:03,570 --> 00:35:06,650
excitement in Israel to get some of their

884
00:35:06,650 --> 00:35:07,550
hostages home.

885
00:35:08,110 --> 00:35:11,150
Of course, everyone was all giddy about the

886
00:35:11,150 --> 00:35:14,670
question that was asked of President Biden, if

887
00:35:14,670 --> 00:35:17,310
if he's taking credit for something Trump did.

888
00:35:18,050 --> 00:35:19,370
Yeah, I thought classic.

889
00:35:19,430 --> 00:35:21,030
Yeah, I thought CBC did a pretty good

890
00:35:21,030 --> 00:35:21,570
job.

891
00:35:22,270 --> 00:35:24,810
Thank you for this, Mr. President, you or

892
00:35:24,810 --> 00:35:25,110
Trump?

893
00:35:25,390 --> 00:35:27,410
The ink on the deal was still drying

894
00:35:27,410 --> 00:35:29,910
and outgoing President Joe Biden was facing questions

895
00:35:29,910 --> 00:35:31,510
about who should get the credit.

896
00:35:31,570 --> 00:35:32,050
Is that a joke?

897
00:35:32,450 --> 00:35:33,250
That's not a joke.

898
00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:33,950
No joke.

899
00:35:33,950 --> 00:35:36,650
After all, incoming President Donald Trump posted on

900
00:35:36,650 --> 00:35:39,270
social media moments after the news broke, claiming

901
00:35:39,270 --> 00:35:42,130
credit and not even mentioning his predecessor.

902
00:35:42,690 --> 00:35:45,490
This epic ceasefire agreement could have only happened

903
00:35:45,490 --> 00:35:47,610
as a result of our historic victory in

904
00:35:47,610 --> 00:35:48,750
November, he wrote.

905
00:35:49,530 --> 00:35:52,590
Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman

906
00:35:52,590 --> 00:35:54,610
Al Thani was asked about the U.S.

907
00:35:54,670 --> 00:35:56,750
role in shaping the final agreement.

908
00:35:56,970 --> 00:35:59,170
I can say that what we have seen

909
00:35:59,170 --> 00:36:02,610
from the U.S. in the past few

910
00:36:02,610 --> 00:36:08,390
days, seeing a collaboration transcending both administrations was

911
00:36:08,390 --> 00:36:11,590
a clear demonstration for the commitment of the

912
00:36:11,590 --> 00:36:12,970
U.S. to reach to that deal.

913
00:36:13,030 --> 00:36:15,370
Biden says getting the deal done was one

914
00:36:15,370 --> 00:36:15,630
thing.

915
00:36:15,770 --> 00:36:18,470
Seeing it through will require yet more work.

916
00:36:18,890 --> 00:36:22,210
This deal was developed and negotiated under my

917
00:36:22,210 --> 00:36:26,010
administration, but its terms will be implemented for

918
00:36:26,010 --> 00:36:28,130
the most part by the next administration.

919
00:36:29,090 --> 00:36:31,810
In these past few days, we've been speaking

920
00:36:31,810 --> 00:36:32,970
as one team.

921
00:36:33,290 --> 00:36:36,090
The deal's three phases will each offer tricky

922
00:36:36,090 --> 00:36:37,670
obstacles and stumbling blocks.

923
00:36:38,010 --> 00:36:41,150
And United Nations Secretary General António Guterres says

924
00:36:41,150 --> 00:36:43,890
the ceasefire deal is only the first step.

925
00:36:44,010 --> 00:36:47,430
The humanitarian situation is at catastrophic levels.

926
00:36:47,650 --> 00:36:47,970
It's burning.

927
00:36:47,970 --> 00:36:50,370
And I call on all parties to facilitate

928
00:36:50,370 --> 00:36:54,630
the rapid and indirect and safe humanitarian relief

929
00:36:54,630 --> 00:36:56,790
for all civilians in need.

930
00:36:57,050 --> 00:36:59,090
So that's our reporting.

931
00:36:59,690 --> 00:37:02,030
That's reporting from our 51st state, Canada.

932
00:37:02,610 --> 00:37:05,250
The French were a little more gracious.

933
00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:09,030
Scenes of jubilation and relief in Gaza as

934
00:37:09,030 --> 00:37:12,090
news spreads of a ceasefire agreement following months

935
00:37:12,090 --> 00:37:13,370
of fruitless talks.

936
00:37:13,790 --> 00:37:16,990
One key upcoming change has forced negotiations to

937
00:37:16,990 --> 00:37:19,530
pick up pace in recent weeks, the return

938
00:37:19,530 --> 00:37:20,450
of Donald Trump.

939
00:37:20,810 --> 00:37:23,250
The U.S. president had been regularly demanding

940
00:37:23,250 --> 00:37:25,850
the release of all hostages in Gaza and

941
00:37:25,850 --> 00:37:28,470
sent his new envoy Steve Witkoff to the

942
00:37:28,470 --> 00:37:30,790
region to put pressure on the Truce talks

943
00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:31,570
mediators.

944
00:37:32,130 --> 00:37:34,450
If those hostages aren't back, I don't want

945
00:37:34,450 --> 00:37:35,530
to hurt your negotiation.

946
00:37:36,150 --> 00:37:37,750
If they're not back by the time I

947
00:37:37,750 --> 00:37:40,610
get into office, all hell will break out

948
00:37:40,610 --> 00:37:41,350
in the Middle East.

949
00:37:41,770 --> 00:37:44,170
Experts say their efforts have paid off.

950
00:37:44,170 --> 00:37:46,810
The deal will go into implementation the day

951
00:37:46,810 --> 00:37:49,090
before President Trump's inauguration.

952
00:37:49,330 --> 00:37:52,090
So undoubtedly there is this Trump effect.

953
00:37:53,130 --> 00:37:54,390
You know, many people I talk to in

954
00:37:54,390 --> 00:37:56,370
Israel would say that the most popular politician

955
00:37:56,370 --> 00:37:58,410
in Israel is Donald Trump.

956
00:37:59,070 --> 00:38:01,090
And that gives him quite a bit of

957
00:38:01,090 --> 00:38:02,950
leverage over the Israeli prime minister.

958
00:38:03,410 --> 00:38:05,890
The Israeli prime minister was also pressed to

959
00:38:05,890 --> 00:38:08,310
come to the negotiating table as the political

960
00:38:08,310 --> 00:38:10,970
situation within his government deteriorates.

961
00:38:10,970 --> 00:38:15,010
Two of Netanyahu's key coalition partners have opposed

962
00:38:15,010 --> 00:38:15,770
the truce.

963
00:38:16,130 --> 00:38:19,470
Far-right finance minister Bez Semel Smotrich and

964
00:38:19,470 --> 00:38:23,390
national security minister Itamar Ben-Gavir threatened to

965
00:38:23,390 --> 00:38:25,890
pull their parties out of the coalition unless

966
00:38:25,890 --> 00:38:28,870
fighting in Gaza resumed after the hostages return.

967
00:38:29,250 --> 00:38:31,790
Though Netanyahu's government has a majority to approve

968
00:38:31,790 --> 00:38:34,310
the ceasefire deal, the prime minister seeks to

969
00:38:34,310 --> 00:38:35,650
keep his government afloat.

970
00:38:36,030 --> 00:38:38,690
Israeli media report he has offered potential gains

971
00:38:38,690 --> 00:38:40,650
for the far-right in exchange for them

972
00:38:40,650 --> 00:38:44,030
remaining in his coalition, including a settlement construction

973
00:38:44,030 --> 00:38:46,450
in the West Bank and boosted security.

974
00:38:47,090 --> 00:38:47,890
Very odd.

975
00:38:47,990 --> 00:38:50,290
I thought everyone knows the Jews control Trump.

976
00:38:50,410 --> 00:38:51,050
It's so odd.

977
00:38:51,670 --> 00:38:52,890
Yeah, it's so odd.

978
00:38:53,430 --> 00:38:55,170
I have two clips on the same thing.

979
00:38:55,490 --> 00:38:57,850
Only mine are from once from NTD.

980
00:38:58,690 --> 00:39:00,130
Well, there's the NTD is the best one,

981
00:39:00,190 --> 00:39:02,390
but let's start with the ceasefire, the NPR,

982
00:39:02,390 --> 00:39:05,150
because you play some elaborate clips from foreign

983
00:39:05,150 --> 00:39:05,570
sources.

984
00:39:05,750 --> 00:39:07,210
What does the NPR do?

985
00:39:07,890 --> 00:39:10,330
Let me guess, somebody with a British accent?

986
00:39:11,430 --> 00:39:12,590
Not necessarily.

987
00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:15,570
After more than 15 months of war, the

988
00:39:15,570 --> 00:39:19,190
United States says Israel and Hamas have reached

989
00:39:19,190 --> 00:39:20,390
a ceasefire deal.

990
00:39:20,970 --> 00:39:24,270
NPR's Eya Betrawi reports the agreement is set

991
00:39:24,270 --> 00:39:27,250
to begin on Sunday, giving the Israeli government

992
00:39:27,250 --> 00:39:29,290
time to approve the deal.

993
00:39:29,290 --> 00:39:32,130
This is a complex and fragile deal carried

994
00:39:32,130 --> 00:39:34,670
out in stages, starting with a six week

995
00:39:34,670 --> 00:39:37,550
pause in hostilities and Israeli airstrikes on Gaza,

996
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:40,230
which health officials there say have killed tens

997
00:39:40,230 --> 00:39:42,830
of thousands of people, including more than 14

998
00:39:42,830 --> 00:39:44,430
,000 children in the war.

999
00:39:44,970 --> 00:39:47,250
33 hostages or around a third of those

1000
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:49,130
held by Hamas in Gaza will be released

1001
00:39:49,130 --> 00:39:51,570
in exchange for many Palestinians held by Israel

1002
00:39:51,570 --> 00:39:52,790
in this first phase.

1003
00:39:53,330 --> 00:39:55,510
Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed al-Thani told

1004
00:39:55,510 --> 00:39:57,930
reporters the deal aims to end the war.

1005
00:39:58,410 --> 00:40:01,530
I believe that it all depends on the

1006
00:40:01,530 --> 00:40:04,810
parties of the agreement and acting in good

1007
00:40:04,810 --> 00:40:05,130
faith.

1008
00:40:05,310 --> 00:40:07,870
He says the agreement also allows for displaced

1009
00:40:07,870 --> 00:40:10,330
Palestinians to return to Gaza City and other

1010
00:40:10,330 --> 00:40:12,290
areas in the north, though most of Gaza

1011
00:40:12,290 --> 00:40:13,710
has been turned to rubble.

1012
00:40:14,290 --> 00:40:15,630
Who was the rubble?

1013
00:40:15,790 --> 00:40:17,450
You get the return to rubble.

1014
00:40:18,050 --> 00:40:19,970
So that was, you know, that's about as

1015
00:40:19,970 --> 00:40:21,350
vanilla as you can get.

1016
00:40:21,770 --> 00:40:22,210
Pretty much.

1017
00:40:22,330 --> 00:40:24,410
Told us nothing, nothing interesting whatsoever.

1018
00:40:24,410 --> 00:40:27,110
But there we have the NTD for our

1019
00:40:27,110 --> 00:40:28,590
NTD folks.

1020
00:40:28,750 --> 00:40:30,850
The New Tang Dynasty had this report.

1021
00:40:31,010 --> 00:40:33,770
A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has been

1022
00:40:33,770 --> 00:40:34,470
announced.

1023
00:40:34,670 --> 00:40:36,710
President elect Trump first broke the news in

1024
00:40:36,710 --> 00:40:39,170
a post on Truth Social, saying the ceasefire

1025
00:40:39,170 --> 00:40:41,430
agreement had been reached and that the hostages

1026
00:40:41,430 --> 00:40:42,930
would be released shortly.

1027
00:40:43,550 --> 00:40:45,310
And it is a Jason Perry has the

1028
00:40:45,310 --> 00:40:45,750
details.

1029
00:40:47,810 --> 00:40:50,410
Residents in the Gaza Strip were seen celebrating

1030
00:40:50,410 --> 00:40:53,430
on Wednesday, many of them anticipating that a

1031
00:40:53,430 --> 00:40:54,830
ceasefire would happen soon.

1032
00:40:55,330 --> 00:40:57,730
And it did, according to what President elect

1033
00:40:57,730 --> 00:40:59,290
Trump posted on Truth Social.

1034
00:40:59,950 --> 00:41:01,850
Trump said that a deal in the Middle

1035
00:41:01,850 --> 00:41:04,070
East had been reached and that the hostages

1036
00:41:04,070 --> 00:41:05,330
would be released shortly.

1037
00:41:05,950 --> 00:41:08,630
Trump's announcement of the ceasefire came just a

1038
00:41:08,630 --> 00:41:11,490
week after he said, quote, all hell will

1039
00:41:11,490 --> 00:41:13,170
break out in the Middle East if the

1040
00:41:13,170 --> 00:41:15,370
hostages aren't released by the time he takes

1041
00:41:15,370 --> 00:41:15,810
office.

1042
00:41:16,250 --> 00:41:19,190
Qatar, which has been mediating the talks, also

1043
00:41:19,190 --> 00:41:20,630
announced the news on Wednesday.

1044
00:41:21,230 --> 00:41:23,830
Qatar's prime minister, who is also the country's

1045
00:41:23,830 --> 00:41:26,590
foreign minister, said the ceasefire is set to

1046
00:41:26,590 --> 00:41:30,250
begin on Sunday, January 19th, one day before

1047
00:41:30,250 --> 00:41:31,110
Trump takes office.

1048
00:41:31,830 --> 00:41:34,090
He gave further details at the briefing, which

1049
00:41:34,090 --> 00:41:35,210
were heard through an interpreter.

1050
00:41:35,970 --> 00:41:38,190
The phase one of the agreement will go

1051
00:41:38,190 --> 00:41:40,690
on for 42 days and it will include

1052
00:41:40,690 --> 00:41:43,570
a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces

1053
00:41:43,570 --> 00:41:46,430
to the east away from populated areas.

1054
00:41:46,910 --> 00:41:49,550
Israeli forces will then be positioned along the

1055
00:41:49,550 --> 00:41:53,130
Gaza border and which will allow for the

1056
00:41:53,130 --> 00:41:54,950
swap of prisoners as well as the swap

1057
00:41:54,950 --> 00:41:56,970
of remains and the return of the displaced

1058
00:41:56,970 --> 00:41:58,790
people to their residences.

1059
00:41:58,890 --> 00:42:02,070
He said that 33 hostages would be released.

1060
00:42:03,270 --> 00:42:05,830
But he did not say how many Palestinian

1061
00:42:05,830 --> 00:42:07,410
prisoners would be released.

1062
00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:11,630
President Biden, however, said hundreds of Palestinian prisoners

1063
00:42:11,630 --> 00:42:13,010
were going to be released.

1064
00:42:13,250 --> 00:42:14,110
And he added this.

1065
00:42:14,690 --> 00:42:17,050
The elements of this deal for what I

1066
00:42:17,050 --> 00:42:20,730
laid out in detail this past May, which

1067
00:42:20,730 --> 00:42:24,310
was embraced by countries around the world and

1068
00:42:24,310 --> 00:42:27,830
endorsed overwhelmingly by the U.N. Security Council.

1069
00:42:28,230 --> 00:42:28,510
Yeah.

1070
00:42:28,670 --> 00:42:29,090
All right.

1071
00:42:29,210 --> 00:42:29,530
All right.

1072
00:42:29,670 --> 00:42:31,250
I think I think I've had it now.

1073
00:42:31,350 --> 00:42:31,930
I think I've had it.

1074
00:42:31,950 --> 00:42:35,230
Let's move on to something more exciting, something

1075
00:42:35,230 --> 00:42:38,290
more exciting, which is also taking place on

1076
00:42:38,290 --> 00:42:41,850
Monday, because we know why, because we know

1077
00:42:41,850 --> 00:42:44,630
nobody cares about 33 hostages.

1078
00:42:44,830 --> 00:42:46,010
We care about tick tock.

1079
00:42:46,650 --> 00:42:48,350
That's what we all care about.

1080
00:42:48,610 --> 00:42:49,770
Tick tock.

1081
00:42:49,850 --> 00:42:52,730
And I have a clip and I think

1082
00:42:52,730 --> 00:42:54,170
you have a couple to do this morning.

1083
00:42:54,290 --> 00:42:55,990
President-elect Donald Trump may be planning to

1084
00:42:55,990 --> 00:42:57,530
keep tick tock alive in the U.S.

1085
00:42:57,590 --> 00:43:00,090
Keep it alive for National Security Advisor for

1086
00:43:00,090 --> 00:43:03,670
Representative Mike Walz says Trump is exploring options

1087
00:43:03,670 --> 00:43:06,210
to preserve the popular app, which is set

1088
00:43:06,210 --> 00:43:07,510
to shut down in the U.S. come

1089
00:43:07,510 --> 00:43:07,910
Monday.

1090
00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:10,830
Waltz added that Trump sees tick tocks economic

1091
00:43:10,830 --> 00:43:13,430
value and could implement an executive order to

1092
00:43:13,430 --> 00:43:15,630
suspend enforcement of a federal law that would

1093
00:43:15,630 --> 00:43:16,210
ban the app.

1094
00:43:16,410 --> 00:43:18,850
The Supreme Court appears poised to uphold the

1095
00:43:18,850 --> 00:43:21,390
law, which requires tick tocks, Chinese parent company

1096
00:43:21,390 --> 00:43:25,030
ByteDance to divest on national security grounds or

1097
00:43:25,030 --> 00:43:26,210
the app to be banned.

1098
00:43:26,390 --> 00:43:28,570
But this news overnight adds to all the

1099
00:43:28,570 --> 00:43:29,150
speculation.

1100
00:43:29,410 --> 00:43:31,690
Xu Chu, the CEO of tick tock, plans

1101
00:43:31,690 --> 00:43:34,470
to be at Trump's inauguration at the invitation

1102
00:43:34,470 --> 00:43:37,210
of the Trump Fans Inaugural Committee, and it's

1103
00:43:37,210 --> 00:43:38,830
expected to sit in a position of honor

1104
00:43:38,830 --> 00:43:40,610
on the dais, along with a number of

1105
00:43:40,610 --> 00:43:41,890
other tech billionaires.

1106
00:43:42,290 --> 00:43:45,970
What is so interesting is friends of mine,

1107
00:43:46,070 --> 00:43:48,950
good friends who know who should know the

1108
00:43:48,950 --> 00:43:49,250
truth.

1109
00:43:49,550 --> 00:43:52,370
They all believe they really believe that tick

1110
00:43:52,370 --> 00:43:54,330
tock is spying on them more than any

1111
00:43:54,330 --> 00:43:54,850
other app.

1112
00:43:54,930 --> 00:43:56,690
I'm flummoxed by this.

1113
00:43:57,310 --> 00:43:59,790
And another thing I'd like to point out,

1114
00:44:00,670 --> 00:44:02,790
everyone like, oh, the tick tock algo, the

1115
00:44:02,790 --> 00:44:03,330
algorithm.

1116
00:44:03,590 --> 00:44:04,150
Oh, the algorithm.

1117
00:44:04,510 --> 00:44:06,310
The algo is what makes you think they're

1118
00:44:06,310 --> 00:44:07,210
spying on you.

1119
00:44:08,650 --> 00:44:09,750
Oh, that's a good point.

1120
00:44:10,350 --> 00:44:12,850
Whereas the algo, it is the simplest algo

1121
00:44:12,850 --> 00:44:13,770
in the world.

1122
00:44:14,110 --> 00:44:15,430
We've already been through this.

1123
00:44:16,870 --> 00:44:18,230
There must be something more to it.

1124
00:44:18,310 --> 00:44:20,950
And I think I think I think that

1125
00:44:20,950 --> 00:44:22,990
it's not the algo as much as it

1126
00:44:22,990 --> 00:44:26,950
is the ability to categorize the videos in

1127
00:44:26,950 --> 00:44:28,590
such a way that the algo can do

1128
00:44:28,590 --> 00:44:29,290
what it does.

1129
00:44:29,750 --> 00:44:29,850
Yes.

1130
00:44:29,990 --> 00:44:31,670
And what I think that's the level of

1131
00:44:31,670 --> 00:44:33,430
difficulty that's not being discussed.

1132
00:44:33,570 --> 00:44:35,810
Well, I don't think it's difficult because they

1133
00:44:35,810 --> 00:44:38,030
don't use a lot of hashtags in tick

1134
00:44:38,030 --> 00:44:38,270
tock.

1135
00:44:38,290 --> 00:44:40,630
It's just you have somebody going on ranting

1136
00:44:40,630 --> 00:44:43,170
about something or other that, oh, yeah, Kamala

1137
00:44:43,170 --> 00:44:43,970
is going to be president.

1138
00:44:44,170 --> 00:44:46,070
And then you start watching that and they

1139
00:44:46,070 --> 00:44:47,930
get another one and another one and another

1140
00:44:47,930 --> 00:44:48,110
one.

1141
00:44:48,310 --> 00:44:50,790
How do they manage to categorize these videos

1142
00:44:50,790 --> 00:44:53,070
to make them show up one after the

1143
00:44:53,070 --> 00:44:53,390
other?

1144
00:44:53,730 --> 00:44:55,790
That is the key to their success that

1145
00:44:55,790 --> 00:44:56,790
is not being discussed.

1146
00:44:56,790 --> 00:44:59,210
There's a lot of Chinese and they're sitting

1147
00:44:59,210 --> 00:45:02,770
there all day long tagging videos for Indians.

1148
00:45:03,110 --> 00:45:05,350
I mean, we could shift it to anonymous.

1149
00:45:05,570 --> 00:45:07,470
Oh, this is the same as this one.

1150
00:45:07,530 --> 00:45:08,970
Let's put them in the same pot.

1151
00:45:09,310 --> 00:45:11,530
But it truly is the success.

1152
00:45:11,650 --> 00:45:16,810
I'll just reiterate American algorithms, particularly in our

1153
00:45:16,810 --> 00:45:18,110
social media realms.

1154
00:45:18,430 --> 00:45:21,810
They always want to inject strife like, ah,

1155
00:45:21,930 --> 00:45:24,470
yeah, let's throw get people commenting and get

1156
00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:25,730
them mad at each other.

1157
00:45:25,950 --> 00:45:28,290
The tick tock algo is like you like

1158
00:45:28,290 --> 00:45:28,710
food.

1159
00:45:29,190 --> 00:45:30,150
Here's food.

1160
00:45:30,770 --> 00:45:33,090
You like Republicans.

1161
00:45:33,370 --> 00:45:34,330
Here's Republicans.

1162
00:45:34,890 --> 00:45:37,230
They don't throw anything adverse in there.

1163
00:45:37,350 --> 00:45:38,830
They get so that you actually think.

1164
00:45:39,010 --> 00:45:41,070
Remember, we were getting emails from people.

1165
00:45:41,850 --> 00:45:42,270
Yeah.

1166
00:45:42,750 --> 00:45:44,430
The reason they want tick tock gone is

1167
00:45:44,430 --> 00:45:46,130
because that's where all the MAGA people are.

1168
00:45:46,230 --> 00:45:48,030
No, all the MAGA people got all the

1169
00:45:48,030 --> 00:45:49,230
MAGA people in the algo.

1170
00:45:49,810 --> 00:45:52,830
All the the Delulu's got all the Delulu's

1171
00:45:52,830 --> 00:45:56,130
in the from the algo.

1172
00:45:56,370 --> 00:45:58,770
And you're probably right that it's the way

1173
00:45:58,770 --> 00:46:01,090
they categorize or tag the content.

1174
00:46:01,290 --> 00:46:03,570
And I wouldn't put it past them that

1175
00:46:03,570 --> 00:46:05,890
there's a lot of people whose only job

1176
00:46:05,890 --> 00:46:07,090
it is, is to tag videos.

1177
00:46:07,090 --> 00:46:07,490
That has to be it.

1178
00:46:08,130 --> 00:46:11,290
There's no machine way of doing this.

1179
00:46:11,310 --> 00:46:15,890
And it's not a hashtag oriented system.

1180
00:46:15,990 --> 00:46:17,550
So you can't just look at the hashtag.

1181
00:46:17,790 --> 00:46:18,730
Oh, here's another one.

1182
00:46:18,730 --> 00:46:20,830
That you might be right.

1183
00:46:20,870 --> 00:46:22,870
It could be a thousands of thousands of

1184
00:46:22,870 --> 00:46:24,550
people that are.

1185
00:46:25,050 --> 00:46:26,610
Oh, God, what a job that would be.

1186
00:46:26,690 --> 00:46:27,350
Oh, my God.

1187
00:46:27,350 --> 00:46:28,810
You have to watch one after another and

1188
00:46:28,810 --> 00:46:30,250
then figure out where it fits into the

1189
00:46:30,250 --> 00:46:30,850
scheme of things.

1190
00:46:30,850 --> 00:46:33,090
It's a lot more fun than trying to,

1191
00:46:33,370 --> 00:46:35,590
you know, trying to police people.

1192
00:46:36,250 --> 00:46:37,690
You know, just what is this about?

1193
00:46:37,750 --> 00:46:38,130
Oh, boom.

1194
00:46:38,210 --> 00:46:38,870
Click Republican.

1195
00:46:39,010 --> 00:46:39,670
What is this about?

1196
00:46:39,750 --> 00:46:40,210
Oh, food.

1197
00:46:40,310 --> 00:46:40,510
Boom.

1198
00:46:40,590 --> 00:46:41,670
What is about watermelons?

1199
00:46:41,750 --> 00:46:41,950
Boom.

1200
00:46:42,170 --> 00:46:42,530
Watermelons.

1201
00:46:42,570 --> 00:46:44,970
It's easy as long as you have enough

1202
00:46:44,970 --> 00:46:45,410
people.

1203
00:46:45,990 --> 00:46:47,450
Now, I have two boots on the ground

1204
00:46:47,450 --> 00:46:47,850
reports.

1205
00:46:47,950 --> 00:46:49,370
The first one will lead into your clips.

1206
00:46:49,550 --> 00:46:50,190
This is from Jim.

1207
00:46:50,430 --> 00:46:51,750
Well, before you get to that, I do

1208
00:46:51,750 --> 00:46:53,250
want to mention one thing, which is I

1209
00:46:53,250 --> 00:46:57,810
do get PR notifications from a company called

1210
00:46:57,810 --> 00:47:01,570
a bit online dot AG, and they have

1211
00:47:01,570 --> 00:47:03,010
the odds about some of these things.

1212
00:47:03,050 --> 00:47:06,470
I want to mention will SCOTUS ban tick

1213
00:47:06,470 --> 00:47:06,970
tock.

1214
00:47:07,230 --> 00:47:08,230
It will be upheld.

1215
00:47:08,630 --> 00:47:08,930
Yes.

1216
00:47:08,970 --> 00:47:09,610
Nine percent.

1217
00:47:09,790 --> 00:47:10,150
Yes.

1218
00:47:10,350 --> 00:47:10,670
Yes.

1219
00:47:10,790 --> 00:47:12,850
Will Elon Musk buy tick tock?

1220
00:47:13,530 --> 00:47:13,990
No.

1221
00:47:14,770 --> 00:47:15,730
Eighty two percent.

1222
00:47:15,890 --> 00:47:16,190
No.

1223
00:47:16,530 --> 00:47:16,710
Right.

1224
00:47:16,910 --> 00:47:19,330
Will Trump overturned tick tock ban in the

1225
00:47:19,330 --> 00:47:20,790
first hundred days of the presidency?

1226
00:47:21,110 --> 00:47:21,430
Yes.

1227
00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:23,930
Fifty eight percent.

1228
00:47:24,110 --> 00:47:24,570
No.

1229
00:47:24,770 --> 00:47:25,830
Oh, interesting.

1230
00:47:26,750 --> 00:47:26,910
No.

1231
00:47:27,070 --> 00:47:29,810
So the betting the betting folk, although the

1232
00:47:29,810 --> 00:47:32,650
Trump one is the weakest, the betting folks

1233
00:47:32,650 --> 00:47:33,370
say no to that.

1234
00:47:33,450 --> 00:47:36,330
So Gen Z tick tock producer writes in,

1235
00:47:36,450 --> 00:47:38,110
says boots on the ground regarding the tick

1236
00:47:38,110 --> 00:47:38,530
tock ban.

1237
00:47:38,590 --> 00:47:39,830
If you recall, I gave you and John

1238
00:47:39,830 --> 00:47:41,930
Insight last year and how tick tock ads

1239
00:47:41,930 --> 00:47:45,510
and the ad leaderboard systems have some obscure

1240
00:47:45,510 --> 00:47:48,570
absentees for massive pay pools to creators.

1241
00:47:48,890 --> 00:47:50,870
By the way, I've determined that they are

1242
00:47:50,870 --> 00:47:52,510
not creators, their creations.

1243
00:47:53,170 --> 00:47:55,810
People who chase algos on YouTube and tick

1244
00:47:55,810 --> 00:47:58,130
tock are creations of YouTube and tick tock.

1245
00:47:58,190 --> 00:47:59,150
They're not creators.

1246
00:47:59,290 --> 00:48:01,210
They just we could talk about it later.

1247
00:48:01,210 --> 00:48:04,710
But Mr. Beast really laid out what he

1248
00:48:04,710 --> 00:48:05,690
does with his videos.

1249
00:48:05,750 --> 00:48:08,130
He's as long as there's more.

1250
00:48:08,130 --> 00:48:10,850
If there's three seconds more watching time, average

1251
00:48:10,850 --> 00:48:12,770
viewing time, it's a great video.

1252
00:48:13,090 --> 00:48:15,970
These are creations of these platforms.

1253
00:48:16,190 --> 00:48:19,850
Anyway, he manages several thousand influencers.

1254
00:48:19,990 --> 00:48:22,230
Our producer does on tick tock and everyone

1255
00:48:22,230 --> 00:48:24,810
is on the edge of their seat because,

1256
00:48:25,010 --> 00:48:26,710
well, lots of money is on the table.

1257
00:48:27,010 --> 00:48:29,350
And here we go recently noticing with our

1258
00:48:29,350 --> 00:48:29,970
influencers.

1259
00:48:30,310 --> 00:48:32,220
So this is one of our Gen in

1260
00:48:32,220 --> 00:48:36,420
deep inside the mad dash for the next

1261
00:48:36,420 --> 00:48:37,320
big thing.

1262
00:48:37,540 --> 00:48:39,800
If the band holds new apps and narratives

1263
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,900
definitely underway to try to absorb the power

1264
00:48:41,900 --> 00:48:43,980
vacuum, if tick tock is shut down, I

1265
00:48:43,980 --> 00:48:45,880
say if because the amount of money that

1266
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,260
flows through ad revenue here will likely keep

1267
00:48:48,260 --> 00:48:48,660
it going.

1268
00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:50,840
If not, this model will be immediately duplicated

1269
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:51,580
in a new app.

1270
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,300
And of course, the new one is red

1271
00:48:54,300 --> 00:48:56,920
note, which is at the top of the

1272
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:57,600
app stores.

1273
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,080
He says this is obvious that these the

1274
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,100
rankings, the ratings have been games.

1275
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:03,460
Bots are all over it.

1276
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,120
They've been pushing red note up to the

1277
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:06,380
top.

1278
00:49:06,500 --> 00:49:09,080
Everybody who's on tick tock has an account

1279
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,080
now on red note, just in case that

1280
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,600
that's the next big thing.

1281
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,980
And this should lead into your red note

1282
00:49:14,980 --> 00:49:15,400
clips.

1283
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,700
I have the backgrounders on red note.

1284
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:18,580
Here's clip one.

1285
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,380
Tick tock users are flooding Chinese social media

1286
00:49:21,380 --> 00:49:23,740
app red note just days before a potential

1287
00:49:23,740 --> 00:49:25,840
brand could remove even said it the way

1288
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:27,020
I did red note.

1289
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:28,900
This is interesting.

1290
00:49:28,900 --> 00:49:30,940
You could just say red note, no red

1291
00:49:30,940 --> 00:49:31,340
note.

1292
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,960
Tick tock users are flooding Chinese social media

1293
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,360
app red note just days before a potential

1294
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,880
band could remove tick tock from US users

1295
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:39,440
lives.

1296
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:41,180
Some of them have come up with a

1297
00:49:41,180 --> 00:49:43,600
creative way to describe the trend, calling themselves

1298
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:44,860
tick tock refugees.

1299
00:49:45,380 --> 00:49:49,740
Red note sides US downloads skyrocket nearly 200

1300
00:49:49,740 --> 00:49:52,160
% more than last week.

1301
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,040
This according to database sensor tower.

1302
00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:57,320
The Chinese app also top the ranks of

1303
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,820
free downloads on both Apple and Google's app

1304
00:49:59,820 --> 00:50:00,640
stores in the US.

1305
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:04,180
Another app called lemon eight trails behind red

1306
00:50:04,180 --> 00:50:05,340
note in second place.

1307
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,540
The app works almost the same as red

1308
00:50:07,540 --> 00:50:10,880
note, but is predominantly English versus red notes

1309
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,080
default Chinese.

1310
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,140
Lemonade also shares the same Chinese parent company

1311
00:50:15,140 --> 00:50:15,860
bite dance.

1312
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,360
That's the same company as tick tock built

1313
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,680
with features similar to both Instagram and Pinterest.

1314
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,520
Users can post photos and short videos on

1315
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:24,000
red note.

1316
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,740
It can also have chat functions and its

1317
00:50:26,740 --> 00:50:28,120
own online shopping site.

1318
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,820
As the apps non Chinese based grows, Chinese

1319
00:50:30,820 --> 00:50:33,860
users are telling American newcomers about what could

1320
00:50:33,860 --> 00:50:36,820
be considered wrong under the Chinese Communist Party's

1321
00:50:36,820 --> 00:50:37,940
censorship rules.

1322
00:50:38,380 --> 00:50:40,700
For example, stay away from sensitive topics.

1323
00:50:40,820 --> 00:50:44,040
The regime considers sensitive like Taiwan, the Uyghur

1324
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:48,260
ethnic group and the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.

1325
00:50:48,620 --> 00:50:50,160
I don't see any of that on tick

1326
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:50,420
tock.

1327
00:50:50,460 --> 00:50:51,400
Hello, obvious.

1328
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,940
I have a note about the store, but

1329
00:50:53,940 --> 00:50:56,300
I'll play your second red note background or

1330
00:50:56,300 --> 00:50:56,740
first.

1331
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,560
Red note has already faced criticism from users

1332
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,120
for strict censorship rules.

1333
00:51:01,260 --> 00:51:03,840
The platform reportedly banned over one and a

1334
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,300
quarter million accounts a few weeks ago.

1335
00:51:06,780 --> 00:51:08,460
Right now it's ties with the Chinese Communist

1336
00:51:08,460 --> 00:51:11,600
Party are facing scrutiny as more Americans flock

1337
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:12,160
to the app.

1338
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,400
Red note is owned by a Shanghai based

1339
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,560
company and all of its data is stored

1340
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:17,400
in mainland China.

1341
00:51:17,980 --> 00:51:20,500
The app is reportedly backed by Chinese tech

1342
00:51:20,500 --> 00:51:21,460
giant Tencent.

1343
00:51:21,980 --> 00:51:24,660
The Pentagon recently blacklisted Tencent for its alleged

1344
00:51:24,660 --> 00:51:26,120
ties to the Chinese military.

1345
00:51:26,620 --> 00:51:27,260
And get this.

1346
00:51:27,340 --> 00:51:29,500
What's more is that the app's Chinese name,

1347
00:51:29,700 --> 00:51:31,740
Xiao Hongshu, means the little.

1348
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:33,460
Little what?

1349
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,500
Little red book as in the Mao little

1350
00:51:37,500 --> 00:51:38,060
red book.

1351
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:38,760
All right.

1352
00:51:38,820 --> 00:51:41,100
So boots on the ground from Danny about

1353
00:51:41,100 --> 00:51:41,660
the store.

1354
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:42,940
This is the real problem.

1355
00:51:42,940 --> 00:51:44,880
This, I believe, is the real problem.

1356
00:51:45,020 --> 00:51:47,800
Besides the massive ad incentives, can you all

1357
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:54,240
these other companies, YouTube and Meta, they either

1358
00:51:54,240 --> 00:51:57,480
bought the ad systems deeply entrenched.

1359
00:51:57,580 --> 00:51:58,860
They've got a lot of technical debt.

1360
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,280
They don't have this leaderboard system, which is

1361
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:02,240
a phenomenal idea.

1362
00:52:02,340 --> 00:52:03,020
But the store.

1363
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,060
So Danny says, I'm sure, you know, tick

1364
00:52:06,060 --> 00:52:07,240
tock has enabled shopping.

1365
00:52:07,340 --> 00:52:09,000
I think you sort of acknowledge on Episode

1366
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,820
seven, it's probably the only legitimate competition Amazon

1367
00:52:12,820 --> 00:52:13,500
may have.

1368
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:14,840
I'm very surprised, he says.

1369
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,240
I'm shocked that John hasn't discovered the incredible

1370
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:21,640
deals on tick tock shop from twelve dollar

1371
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,320
Baofeng radios, which is at least three dollars

1372
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,860
under the price to high quality, unlabeled clothing,

1373
00:52:29,060 --> 00:52:31,780
textiles and home goods, usually straight from China.

1374
00:52:32,500 --> 00:52:35,340
Also, many homegrown businesses are making millions of

1375
00:52:35,340 --> 00:52:37,800
dollars by opening their businesses on tick tock

1376
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:38,180
shop.

1377
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:40,920
I'm a bit disappointed, Danny says.

1378
00:52:40,980 --> 00:52:43,100
Everyone seems to find the negativity in oddball

1379
00:52:43,100 --> 00:52:44,480
tick tockers, but not the positive.

1380
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:44,940
Fine.

1381
00:52:45,420 --> 00:52:47,680
I joined tick tock shop last year.

1382
00:52:47,780 --> 00:52:50,740
It works by basically promoting all types of

1383
00:52:50,740 --> 00:52:53,480
goods that are sent as free samples in

1384
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,500
exchange for making videos or going live, showcasing

1385
00:52:56,500 --> 00:52:57,020
the product.

1386
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,260
Recently, I've had a video featuring the Baofeng

1387
00:53:00,260 --> 00:53:04,300
UV5R radio that has made me close to

1388
00:53:04,300 --> 00:53:05,980
how much do you think in two weeks

1389
00:53:05,980 --> 00:53:06,520
in commission?

1390
00:53:09,050 --> 00:53:09,690
Twenty grand?

1391
00:53:09,950 --> 00:53:10,330
No, no.

1392
00:53:10,450 --> 00:53:11,070
Ten thousand.

1393
00:53:12,150 --> 00:53:14,710
Well, I've been able to stop ruining my

1394
00:53:14,710 --> 00:53:17,730
vehicle doing Amazon deliveries and Uber Eats deliveries.

1395
00:53:17,930 --> 00:53:19,750
Tick tock has enabled me to have more

1396
00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:21,450
than seven hundred dollars in my bank account

1397
00:53:21,450 --> 00:53:22,790
at any given time.

1398
00:53:23,650 --> 00:53:25,270
The same goes for so many other people

1399
00:53:25,270 --> 00:53:25,870
on the platform.

1400
00:53:26,150 --> 00:53:27,530
I do not have millions of followers.

1401
00:53:27,730 --> 00:53:28,510
Of course not.

1402
00:53:28,590 --> 00:53:29,150
It's the algo.

1403
00:53:29,290 --> 00:53:31,370
The algo boosts you into people who are

1404
00:53:31,370 --> 00:53:32,190
looking for this stuff.

1405
00:53:32,190 --> 00:53:34,450
I started with less than a thousand, currently

1406
00:53:34,450 --> 00:53:35,150
at eight thousand.

1407
00:53:35,350 --> 00:53:39,250
So eight thousand followers and ten thousand dollars,

1408
00:53:39,270 --> 00:53:40,390
so five grand a week.

1409
00:53:41,030 --> 00:53:42,770
Tick tock is by far the best social

1410
00:53:42,770 --> 00:53:44,070
media platform on the Internet.

1411
00:53:45,110 --> 00:53:46,730
And I think that this is the real

1412
00:53:46,730 --> 00:53:47,130
problem.

1413
00:53:47,270 --> 00:53:50,250
I remain solid that this was a anti

1414
00:53:50,250 --> 00:53:53,290
-competition, anti-competitive move by Silicon Valley, who

1415
00:53:53,290 --> 00:53:56,670
funded some of the people who introduced the

1416
00:53:56,670 --> 00:53:58,970
bill, mainly Google and Amazon.

1417
00:53:59,430 --> 00:54:03,690
And they just want them out because there's

1418
00:54:03,690 --> 00:54:05,930
too much technical debt to recreate this.

1419
00:54:06,050 --> 00:54:09,110
And even this Lemonade, which is essentially tried

1420
00:54:09,110 --> 00:54:09,890
to do the same thing.

1421
00:54:09,970 --> 00:54:11,170
It's bike dance, but they tried to do

1422
00:54:11,170 --> 00:54:13,430
the same thing with a shop and they

1423
00:54:13,430 --> 00:54:13,890
failed.

1424
00:54:14,770 --> 00:54:16,710
It's, you know, it's hard to do these

1425
00:54:16,710 --> 00:54:16,950
things.

1426
00:54:16,950 --> 00:54:20,350
It's hard to replicate existing success and get

1427
00:54:20,350 --> 00:54:21,850
that magic going.

1428
00:54:23,070 --> 00:54:25,670
And as you know, I think it would

1429
00:54:25,670 --> 00:54:26,030
be very...

1430
00:54:27,370 --> 00:54:29,890
If you remember the early days of Twitter,

1431
00:54:30,530 --> 00:54:32,190
there were two or three or four clones.

1432
00:54:32,410 --> 00:54:33,670
Pounce was one of them.

1433
00:54:33,790 --> 00:54:35,270
And there was a whole slew of them

1434
00:54:35,270 --> 00:54:37,230
and they didn't have it.

1435
00:54:37,650 --> 00:54:38,310
You're right.

1436
00:54:38,670 --> 00:54:40,930
There's a certain thing and it's in tech,

1437
00:54:40,970 --> 00:54:43,790
it's constant, which is this, it's a magic,

1438
00:54:44,010 --> 00:54:47,010
it's something just clicks and it becomes the

1439
00:54:47,010 --> 00:54:47,410
thing.

1440
00:54:48,010 --> 00:54:49,550
And you can't replicate it.

1441
00:54:49,770 --> 00:54:53,430
Now, I think there'll be a big market

1442
00:54:53,430 --> 00:54:58,170
for cheap phones, maybe even flip phones that

1443
00:54:58,170 --> 00:54:59,910
have TikTok preloaded on it.

1444
00:55:01,330 --> 00:55:03,630
I think we'll see this pop up if

1445
00:55:03,630 --> 00:55:04,210
it gets banned.

1446
00:55:04,270 --> 00:55:04,950
I think it will.

1447
00:55:05,270 --> 00:55:06,050
I really think it will.

1448
00:55:06,130 --> 00:55:08,330
I think Trump will overturn it because Trump

1449
00:55:08,330 --> 00:55:11,450
realizes, as I stated, and I'm sure someone

1450
00:55:11,450 --> 00:55:14,230
over there listens to this show, we need

1451
00:55:14,230 --> 00:55:17,630
more short form videos, chicks in bikinis.

1452
00:55:17,990 --> 00:55:19,190
We need guns.

1453
00:55:19,550 --> 00:55:20,690
We need all kinds of stuff.

1454
00:55:20,790 --> 00:55:23,610
We are the content media creators of the

1455
00:55:23,610 --> 00:55:24,050
universe.

1456
00:55:24,410 --> 00:55:25,490
This is our export.

1457
00:55:26,410 --> 00:55:27,830
And the only thing is we need to

1458
00:55:27,830 --> 00:55:29,590
hook up American products to the shop.

1459
00:55:29,970 --> 00:55:30,430
That's it.

1460
00:55:31,210 --> 00:55:32,530
That's all that needs to be done.

1461
00:55:34,110 --> 00:55:35,950
I think it would be very bad for

1462
00:55:35,950 --> 00:55:37,150
America to ban TikTok.

1463
00:55:37,690 --> 00:55:38,870
It's bad for this show.

1464
00:55:39,350 --> 00:55:40,870
Where are you going to source your content

1465
00:55:40,870 --> 00:55:41,270
from?

1466
00:55:44,210 --> 00:55:49,570
I only source a certain type of content

1467
00:55:49,570 --> 00:55:51,830
from TikTok and I could do without it.

1468
00:55:52,210 --> 00:55:53,410
The audience can't.

1469
00:55:53,550 --> 00:55:54,430
They're always encouraging.

1470
00:55:54,430 --> 00:55:54,550
No, I know.

1471
00:55:54,670 --> 00:55:56,330
The audience loves these clips.

1472
00:55:56,410 --> 00:55:58,670
They're encouraging you constantly to do this.

1473
00:55:59,410 --> 00:56:00,610
Much to your chagrin.

1474
00:56:00,910 --> 00:56:01,170
Yes.

1475
00:56:02,350 --> 00:56:04,490
Now, do you think that anybody could...

1476
00:56:04,490 --> 00:56:05,810
I think you're dead on on this, by

1477
00:56:05,810 --> 00:56:07,290
the way, this whole idea.

1478
00:56:07,450 --> 00:56:08,870
And I have to look into the shop

1479
00:56:08,870 --> 00:56:10,810
and the guy was right in condemning me

1480
00:56:10,810 --> 00:56:12,550
for not being up on it.

1481
00:56:13,570 --> 00:56:15,270
Although I'm not like, you know, the shopping

1482
00:56:15,270 --> 00:56:17,750
guy on the Today Show.

1483
00:56:18,270 --> 00:56:20,410
Didn't they have some slippers you can buy

1484
00:56:20,410 --> 00:56:20,990
here cheap?

1485
00:56:22,970 --> 00:56:23,990
But okay.

1486
00:56:26,410 --> 00:56:28,650
And I'm sure this stuff is mostly junk.

1487
00:56:29,270 --> 00:56:31,970
Yeah, it is.

1488
00:56:32,030 --> 00:56:32,930
Of course it's junk.

1489
00:56:33,210 --> 00:56:34,290
That's another thing.

1490
00:56:34,350 --> 00:56:35,330
We like buying junk.

1491
00:56:35,470 --> 00:56:37,530
We should be buying American junk.

1492
00:56:38,950 --> 00:56:39,550
Seriously.

1493
00:56:40,090 --> 00:56:40,870
Oh, you know what?

1494
00:56:41,230 --> 00:56:44,310
You remember Justin, the guy who has the

1495
00:56:44,310 --> 00:56:45,770
Made in America shoe company?

1496
00:56:46,730 --> 00:56:51,890
Who got wiped out by Helene in western

1497
00:56:51,890 --> 00:56:52,670
North Carolina?

1498
00:56:52,970 --> 00:56:55,470
Yeah, he had like 25 people, his whole

1499
00:56:55,470 --> 00:56:56,650
factory wiped out.

1500
00:56:57,330 --> 00:56:59,650
So I find out he's started a new

1501
00:56:59,650 --> 00:57:01,670
company because he's not going to give up.

1502
00:57:02,130 --> 00:57:03,410
He started a boot company.

1503
00:57:03,630 --> 00:57:05,410
No, guys like that never give up.

1504
00:57:05,410 --> 00:57:07,490
And I think he's Gen Z too.

1505
00:57:08,510 --> 00:57:10,790
It's like Jambo, the guy who makes the...

1506
00:57:12,290 --> 00:57:14,350
That guy, he goes from one business to

1507
00:57:14,350 --> 00:57:14,570
another.

1508
00:57:14,650 --> 00:57:15,830
I don't know what he's up to now,

1509
00:57:15,950 --> 00:57:17,710
but he's like one of those guys.

1510
00:57:18,150 --> 00:57:20,290
Only in America do you find people like

1511
00:57:20,290 --> 00:57:20,390
this.

1512
00:57:20,390 --> 00:57:21,330
We got these guys.

1513
00:57:21,330 --> 00:57:21,950
Only in America.

1514
00:57:22,410 --> 00:57:25,370
So he started Pearl Boot, the Pearl Boot

1515
00:57:25,370 --> 00:57:25,770
company.

1516
00:57:25,870 --> 00:57:28,150
I'm like, I'm gonna support this guy.

1517
00:57:28,810 --> 00:57:29,690
Cowboy boots.

1518
00:57:30,250 --> 00:57:33,530
And they're 450 bucks, which is cheap for

1519
00:57:33,530 --> 00:57:35,630
handmade, Made in America cowboy boots.

1520
00:57:35,710 --> 00:57:36,770
And they arrived yesterday.

1521
00:57:37,110 --> 00:57:40,270
The most comfortable boots I've ever worn in

1522
00:57:40,270 --> 00:57:40,950
my life.

1523
00:57:41,510 --> 00:57:45,450
It has something like some arch support in

1524
00:57:45,450 --> 00:57:45,650
there.

1525
00:57:45,850 --> 00:57:47,830
And I have Lucchese boots.

1526
00:57:48,030 --> 00:57:50,790
I mean, I've had nice cowboy boots for

1527
00:57:50,790 --> 00:57:51,890
over a decade.

1528
00:57:52,410 --> 00:57:53,970
And I'm just blown away.

1529
00:57:54,070 --> 00:57:55,990
I'm like, that's the kind of stuff we

1530
00:57:55,990 --> 00:57:57,110
should be selling on TikTok.

1531
00:57:58,410 --> 00:57:59,410
Now I bet he is.

1532
00:57:59,590 --> 00:58:00,430
Now I think about it.

1533
00:58:00,710 --> 00:58:02,490
Well, he probably isn't.

1534
00:58:02,550 --> 00:58:03,310
Well, he should be.

1535
00:58:03,430 --> 00:58:03,970
Now that you think about it.

1536
00:58:03,990 --> 00:58:04,470
He should be.

1537
00:58:04,690 --> 00:58:05,350
He should be.

1538
00:58:06,930 --> 00:58:08,730
So, and this is another thing.

1539
00:58:09,750 --> 00:58:14,230
On Instagram, the big brands, they all have

1540
00:58:14,230 --> 00:58:16,870
their videos and they've got their influencers.

1541
00:58:17,250 --> 00:58:19,090
The influencers are suing each other.

1542
00:58:19,650 --> 00:58:21,410
Nobu, you stole my vibe.

1543
00:58:21,430 --> 00:58:22,770
What is going on with these people?

1544
00:58:22,770 --> 00:58:23,990
You copied me.

1545
00:58:24,050 --> 00:58:25,370
You copied my style.

1546
00:58:25,370 --> 00:58:27,830
But Tina continues to complain about this.

1547
00:58:27,870 --> 00:58:31,150
She doesn't complain about it on Instagram anymore

1548
00:58:31,150 --> 00:58:33,130
by commenting because that got her kicked off.

1549
00:58:33,730 --> 00:58:35,690
But all of these brands like, oh yeah,

1550
00:58:35,850 --> 00:58:37,730
and here's this special offer.

1551
00:58:37,870 --> 00:58:38,870
And you click on it, you go to

1552
00:58:38,870 --> 00:58:39,610
the special offer.

1553
00:58:39,810 --> 00:58:40,770
Not in stock.

1554
00:58:40,890 --> 00:58:41,930
It's never in stock.

1555
00:58:43,410 --> 00:58:44,530
It's a scam.

1556
00:58:44,750 --> 00:58:44,850
Yeah.

1557
00:58:44,870 --> 00:58:47,870
Whenever Instagram has a special, it's usually clothing.

1558
00:58:48,990 --> 00:58:51,510
And it's, you know, it's, these are known

1559
00:58:51,510 --> 00:58:52,150
brands.

1560
00:58:52,790 --> 00:58:55,050
You know, like, you know, not super.

1561
00:58:55,050 --> 00:58:56,050
So what's the point of this?

1562
00:58:56,130 --> 00:58:57,650
You think it's some sort of marketing deal?

1563
00:58:58,110 --> 00:58:59,910
Well, it sucks no matter what.

1564
00:59:00,130 --> 00:59:02,050
I'm not sure if it's a marketing deal,

1565
00:59:02,190 --> 00:59:04,390
but they're always out of stock.

1566
00:59:04,650 --> 00:59:06,190
And then they recommend something else.

1567
00:59:06,310 --> 00:59:08,230
It feels a bit like a bait and

1568
00:59:08,230 --> 00:59:08,450
switch.

1569
00:59:08,950 --> 00:59:09,650
Feels a bit like it.

1570
00:59:09,710 --> 00:59:09,890
Yeah.

1571
00:59:10,190 --> 00:59:12,050
And the one time she commented and, you

1572
00:59:12,050 --> 00:59:13,450
know, she got booted off for a week.

1573
00:59:15,530 --> 00:59:17,430
She commented on the advertiser.

1574
00:59:18,730 --> 00:59:19,910
That was a mistake.

1575
00:59:20,390 --> 00:59:21,790
That was a big, big mistake.

1576
00:59:22,070 --> 00:59:22,570
Don't comment.

1577
00:59:22,570 --> 00:59:24,510
She got booted off of Instagram for a

1578
00:59:24,510 --> 00:59:28,090
week for saying something about this scammish advertising

1579
00:59:28,090 --> 00:59:30,670
bait and switch scam.

1580
00:59:31,030 --> 00:59:32,430
And she didn't even say it was a

1581
00:59:32,430 --> 00:59:32,650
scam.

1582
00:59:32,830 --> 00:59:34,310
She just said, how come it's always out

1583
00:59:34,310 --> 00:59:34,710
of stock?

1584
00:59:34,790 --> 00:59:35,610
This is no good.

1585
00:59:35,810 --> 00:59:36,050
Boom.

1586
00:59:36,790 --> 00:59:37,710
You've been limited.

1587
00:59:37,870 --> 00:59:39,410
You can't comment for a week.

1588
00:59:42,890 --> 00:59:43,350
It was great.

1589
00:59:43,510 --> 00:59:44,830
They're really monitoring closely.

1590
00:59:45,370 --> 00:59:46,430
Oh, on the advertisers?

1591
00:59:46,690 --> 00:59:47,050
Yes.

1592
00:59:47,470 --> 00:59:49,850
You can't meddle with the primal forces of

1593
00:59:49,850 --> 00:59:50,370
nature, Mr. Beal.

1594
00:59:50,370 --> 00:59:52,570
This is the reason that our show doesn't

1595
00:59:52,570 --> 00:59:53,390
take advertising.

1596
00:59:53,550 --> 00:59:54,630
I just say it all the time.

1597
00:59:55,090 --> 00:59:56,510
It's a form of corruption.

1598
00:59:56,950 --> 00:59:57,550
Big time.

1599
00:59:58,570 --> 00:59:59,730
It really is.

1600
01:00:00,890 --> 01:00:01,950
It really is.

1601
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:04,620
Huh.

1602
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:06,400
So anyway, we'll see what happens.

1603
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:07,740
What they should have done was put the

1604
01:00:07,740 --> 01:00:10,080
kibosh on the idea of them doing this,

1605
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,280
pulling this bait and switch scam.

1606
01:00:12,660 --> 01:00:13,620
That's what they should be.

1607
01:00:13,660 --> 01:00:14,080
They should be.

1608
01:00:14,420 --> 01:00:16,160
They should be working on behalf of the

1609
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:17,460
users of Instagram.

1610
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:18,360
Oh, please.

1611
01:00:19,100 --> 01:00:19,880
I'm telling you.

1612
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:20,980
Yeah, they don't.

1613
01:00:21,060 --> 01:00:21,520
They don't care.

1614
01:00:21,580 --> 01:00:22,800
They just want to collect data.

1615
01:00:23,540 --> 01:00:24,780
Yeah, now we got, now I get everyone

1616
01:00:24,780 --> 01:00:26,400
thinking that TikTok was doing it.

1617
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:27,500
We're in the clear.

1618
01:00:28,460 --> 01:00:28,980
Please.

1619
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:30,240
Everyone uses Firebase.

1620
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:31,820
We all know how it works.

1621
01:00:32,780 --> 01:00:34,000
You know about Firebase?

1622
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:35,820
No, tell me about Firebase.

1623
01:00:35,820 --> 01:00:37,580
Oh, it's a SDK you put into your

1624
01:00:37,580 --> 01:00:37,900
app.

1625
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:42,160
I think Firebase may be completely controlled by

1626
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:42,480
Google.

1627
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,460
And every tap, every swipe, everything you do

1628
01:00:46,460 --> 01:00:47,780
in the app is tracked.

1629
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:49,620
Every app has it.

1630
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:50,720
Firebase.

1631
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:52,140
Yeah.

1632
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:53,880
Oh, just so I could see if the

1633
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:55,080
app performs properly.

1634
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,680
No, it's to spy.

1635
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,860
Now, TikTok is smart because it's very hard

1636
01:01:02,860 --> 01:01:03,400
to do.

1637
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,280
You can't get to the shop, for instance,

1638
01:01:05,460 --> 01:01:06,500
outside of the app.

1639
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:08,120
That's why you've never seen the shop.

1640
01:01:08,220 --> 01:01:10,380
That's why you've never been introduced to it.

1641
01:01:11,260 --> 01:01:14,240
If you go to shop.tiktok.com, you

1642
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,300
can browse, you know, whatever they're showing you.

1643
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:18,940
But the minute you hit, I want to

1644
01:01:18,940 --> 01:01:21,020
search for something, it says, you got to

1645
01:01:21,020 --> 01:01:21,560
get the app.

1646
01:01:22,900 --> 01:01:24,640
Oh, so they'll never see the shop.

1647
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,060
No, not unless you get the app.

1648
01:01:26,260 --> 01:01:27,680
You could get it on your phone.

1649
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:29,240
You just have to go downstairs to get

1650
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:29,840
it from the drawer.

1651
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,020
I have to get the phone out of

1652
01:01:32,020 --> 01:01:34,240
the drawer just for this?

1653
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:34,900
Forget it.

1654
01:01:34,940 --> 01:01:35,720
I'm not doing it.

1655
01:01:36,420 --> 01:01:37,360
It's like stupid.

1656
01:01:37,460 --> 01:01:40,580
I can buy stuff from AliExpress.

1657
01:01:40,700 --> 01:01:41,940
It's probably the same junk.

1658
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,660
I don't think you're the market that they're

1659
01:01:43,660 --> 01:01:44,300
going after.

1660
01:01:44,940 --> 01:01:45,920
Well, I guess not.

1661
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:47,160
I'm bored.

1662
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,060
I was thinking about this the other day.

1663
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:50,660
I'm getting to the age.

1664
01:01:51,420 --> 01:01:52,920
I'm probably past the age.

1665
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:54,280
But I'm going to say I'm getting to

1666
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,700
the age where I'll be defined as an

1667
01:01:56,700 --> 01:01:57,700
old coot.

1668
01:01:58,580 --> 01:02:00,460
And there's nothing except Prevagen.

1669
01:02:00,700 --> 01:02:02,380
We have nothing for old coots.

1670
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:03,400
Coot.

1671
01:02:03,620 --> 01:02:05,360
I mean, who needs to be a coot?

1672
01:02:05,860 --> 01:02:07,300
But this is where it's going.

1673
01:02:07,820 --> 01:02:09,080
We got boner pills.

1674
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:09,920
We got to get something.

1675
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:11,680
But there's not much else that we want

1676
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:11,960
to sell.

1677
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:13,100
No, you get to coot.

1678
01:02:13,260 --> 01:02:13,800
You're a coot.

1679
01:02:13,900 --> 01:02:14,660
A coot's a coot.

1680
01:02:14,700 --> 01:02:15,280
A coot's a coot.

1681
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,560
It gives you a little more leeway in

1682
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:18,480
your free speech.

1683
01:02:18,620 --> 01:02:19,920
Yeah, it does.

1684
01:02:20,500 --> 01:02:21,360
That's for sure.

1685
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:22,640
Probably tag somewhere.

1686
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:23,540
It's just a coot.

1687
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:24,560
Don't worry about it.

1688
01:02:24,620 --> 01:02:25,640
It's not a problem.

1689
01:02:25,820 --> 01:02:26,240
Let him talk.

1690
01:02:26,380 --> 01:02:28,140
Let him say whatever he needs to say.

1691
01:02:28,380 --> 01:02:28,680
Yes.

1692
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:29,860
Yeah, that's a good point.

1693
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:31,160
That would be in my algo.

1694
01:02:32,540 --> 01:02:35,220
I did get a note from one of

1695
01:02:35,220 --> 01:02:35,960
our from Nick.

1696
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:37,220
Nick, the truck driver.

1697
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,580
And he commented on Real Short.

1698
01:02:40,980 --> 01:02:43,480
This is the Queeby thing you were talking

1699
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:43,820
about.

1700
01:02:44,020 --> 01:02:44,420
Oh, yes.

1701
01:02:44,420 --> 01:02:46,280
The thing that was Katzenberg's deal.

1702
01:02:46,460 --> 01:02:46,740
Yes.

1703
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:48,840
And he says he has used Real Short

1704
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:49,960
and he has some insight.

1705
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:51,080
So this is good.

1706
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,780
We have the most impressive people.

1707
01:02:54,460 --> 01:02:56,160
First, let me say I'm a truck driver.

1708
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,280
While I get loaded or unloaded, I usually

1709
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:01,180
just mindlessly scroll Facebook or Instagram.

1710
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:03,820
I got sucked into one of these so

1711
01:03:03,820 --> 01:03:06,680
-called movies made by Real Short on Facebook.

1712
01:03:07,500 --> 01:03:09,000
They'll give you three to five minutes on

1713
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,380
another platform, then tell you to download their

1714
01:03:11,380 --> 01:03:11,620
app.

1715
01:03:11,700 --> 01:03:13,840
Well, I downloaded it and the woman on

1716
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:14,780
the clip was right.

1717
01:03:15,180 --> 01:03:17,320
You get about 10 to 15 minutes and

1718
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:18,500
they ask you for money.

1719
01:03:18,500 --> 01:03:21,320
You get tokens to purchase movies starting at

1720
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,220
$4.99 for 100 tokens.

1721
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,300
I'm not sure how many tokens were needed

1722
01:03:25,300 --> 01:03:26,280
to get the whole movie.

1723
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,740
Or you can watch an ad five times

1724
01:03:28,740 --> 01:03:31,480
a day and get one more one to

1725
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:33,500
two minute segment per ad watched.

1726
01:03:33,900 --> 01:03:35,980
For reference, the video I was watching had

1727
01:03:35,980 --> 01:03:37,840
about 70 segments.

1728
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:41,260
The acting is truly awful.

1729
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:42,360
The plot is horrible.

1730
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,440
And yet I still wanted to finish it.

1731
01:03:44,940 --> 01:03:46,800
I deleted the app after I saw its

1732
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:47,320
paid model.

1733
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,120
This is the general public at large.

1734
01:03:51,300 --> 01:03:55,560
When you learn about direct marketing, my all

1735
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,260
-time favorite thing, and I've brought it up

1736
01:03:57,260 --> 01:03:58,040
on the show before.

1737
01:03:58,320 --> 01:03:59,460
Pay attention, people.

1738
01:03:59,580 --> 01:04:01,180
This is good information you're getting here.

1739
01:04:02,860 --> 01:04:04,960
You're going to sell miniature cars.

1740
01:04:06,180 --> 01:04:07,740
The cars are going to cost you about

1741
01:04:07,740 --> 01:04:08,880
five bucks to buy one.

1742
01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:11,660
The first one's a buck or two bucks,

1743
01:04:12,060 --> 01:04:12,940
something like that.

1744
01:04:12,940 --> 01:04:15,680
And so just to introduce you to the

1745
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,920
idea of collecting these cars, there's 40 of

1746
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:18,160
them.

1747
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,820
And so you buy the $2 car and

1748
01:04:21,820 --> 01:04:25,160
they send you the car, the little car,

1749
01:04:25,660 --> 01:04:30,540
and a display case with the 40 car

1750
01:04:30,540 --> 01:04:31,140
holes.

1751
01:04:32,620 --> 01:04:34,560
And so you always get the free display.

1752
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,440
Or they gave you a complimentary display case

1753
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,680
with these 40 holes that are empty because

1754
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:41,100
you get to put your one car in

1755
01:04:41,100 --> 01:04:41,340
there.

1756
01:04:41,340 --> 01:04:44,640
And look at the empty slots.

1757
01:04:45,340 --> 01:04:47,900
The general public will want to fill up

1758
01:04:47,900 --> 01:04:52,600
every slot because it's like when you collect

1759
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,360
quarters and you get one of these coin

1760
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,420
collecting things that's got all those slots you

1761
01:04:56,420 --> 01:04:57,260
put the quarters in.

1762
01:04:57,820 --> 01:05:01,000
If you have one of these, Jay used

1763
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,260
to do this.

1764
01:05:02,620 --> 01:05:04,820
She'd get one of the containers that hold

1765
01:05:04,820 --> 01:05:07,220
the quarters, and there'd be two missing quarters.

1766
01:05:07,220 --> 01:05:09,460
She'd go out of her way to find

1767
01:05:09,460 --> 01:05:12,560
the P quarter from 19, whatever it is,

1768
01:05:13,060 --> 01:05:15,360
and to get the damn thing filled.

1769
01:05:15,540 --> 01:05:17,980
We have this tendency as humans to want

1770
01:05:17,980 --> 01:05:19,180
to fill the gap.

1771
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:20,320
That's right.

1772
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,260
And so you got to fill it in.

1773
01:05:22,900 --> 01:05:24,200
And so that's what that is.

1774
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,220
Somebody figured out you can do this with

1775
01:05:26,220 --> 01:05:27,020
short clips.

1776
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,760
That is a very good psychological insight.

1777
01:05:31,300 --> 01:05:33,980
There is no reason you want to watch

1778
01:05:33,980 --> 01:05:36,620
the rest of the damn movie, except for

1779
01:05:36,620 --> 01:05:37,380
that factor.

1780
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,140
You said himself it's junk.

1781
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:45,240
Yeah, that's pretty crazy that people want to

1782
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:45,780
do that.

1783
01:05:47,380 --> 01:05:48,280
I know.

1784
01:05:48,580 --> 01:05:49,760
Oh no, it's empty.

1785
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:51,640
I got to put it in there.

1786
01:05:52,140 --> 01:05:54,720
I should probably mention, since we're talking about

1787
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:58,640
apps and scams, I got a note from

1788
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:02,660
one of our producers, Sam, who said, I

1789
01:06:02,660 --> 01:06:05,140
think you should bring this particular internet scam

1790
01:06:05,140 --> 01:06:07,500
to attention because it's easy for people to

1791
01:06:07,500 --> 01:06:08,520
fall into this.

1792
01:06:09,260 --> 01:06:11,160
I think this is a couple of years

1793
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,880
ago, but when he was 25, he was

1794
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,360
on the dating app Hinge, which I've heard

1795
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:18,560
of.

1796
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:19,360
Have you heard of Hinge?

1797
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,160
No, I've never heard of Hinge.

1798
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:22,160
Yeah, Hinge.

1799
01:06:22,340 --> 01:06:24,680
It's like a Tinder, but it's different.

1800
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,000
So he was matched with a girl who

1801
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,040
was 23, talked on the app for about

1802
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:30,820
two days, every hour or so.

1803
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,040
The responses were good.

1804
01:06:33,500 --> 01:06:35,740
Then they exchanged text numbers.

1805
01:06:36,900 --> 01:06:38,860
And then after texting a bit, she asked

1806
01:06:38,860 --> 01:06:39,460
for a picture.

1807
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:41,500
And so he sends a picture.

1808
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,520
And then she sends back a selfie and

1809
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,400
some not safe for work pics.

1810
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,780
So, of course, 25-year-old guy, he's

1811
01:06:48,780 --> 01:06:49,260
excited.

1812
01:06:50,380 --> 01:06:55,100
So after about five hours, he gets a

1813
01:06:55,100 --> 01:06:56,520
text from an unknown number.

1814
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:00,100
Someone says, listen, I'm this girl's father, and

1815
01:07:00,100 --> 01:07:01,620
my daughter going to a fight with me

1816
01:07:01,620 --> 01:07:02,220
and my wife.

1817
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,300
And so we took her phone away.

1818
01:07:04,380 --> 01:07:06,840
Then we saw that she's been texting you

1819
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:07,820
and you've been texting her.

1820
01:07:07,860 --> 01:07:08,660
She's 16.

1821
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:11,700
All right, so here's the setup.

1822
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:13,520
She threatened to kill herself.

1823
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:15,460
I'm sitting at the hospital now with my

1824
01:07:15,460 --> 01:07:17,940
daughter, and I'm going to press charges against

1825
01:07:17,940 --> 01:07:19,700
you, sick pedophile bastard.

1826
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,660
So, of course, kid then, he's freaking out.

1827
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:24,760
It's like, no, but wait, she said she

1828
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:25,380
was 23.

1829
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,980
And, you know, wow, this is a good

1830
01:07:29,980 --> 01:07:30,260
one.

1831
01:07:30,420 --> 01:07:31,460
But wait, but wait, but wait.

1832
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:36,840
So then the kid, the father, so-called

1833
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,880
father, sends something like, son, if you know

1834
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:40,160
it's good for you, you're going to make

1835
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:40,640
this right.

1836
01:07:40,700 --> 01:07:42,540
Otherwise, it will ruin your life for being

1837
01:07:42,540 --> 01:07:43,300
a pedophile.

1838
01:07:43,540 --> 01:07:45,120
And then, of course, he's like, you know,

1839
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:46,020
you need to pay.

1840
01:07:46,540 --> 01:07:48,160
You need to pay for the pain you've

1841
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:49,080
caused my daughter.

1842
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:52,980
And if not, I'm going to hand you

1843
01:07:52,980 --> 01:07:53,720
over to the police.

1844
01:07:54,430 --> 01:07:57,280
So he does nothing, gets a phone call

1845
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,380
from the local police officer, which we know

1846
01:08:00,380 --> 01:08:03,300
these are all different scams rolled into one.

1847
01:08:04,060 --> 01:08:07,000
And the police officer then says, you know,

1848
01:08:07,020 --> 01:08:09,300
I really advise you should pay the father.

1849
01:08:09,460 --> 01:08:10,780
You don't want to be labeled a sex

1850
01:08:10,780 --> 01:08:11,200
offender.

1851
01:08:12,180 --> 01:08:14,800
I mean, this is, of course, it was

1852
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:15,240
a scam.

1853
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,420
He just didn't do anything and it went

1854
01:08:17,420 --> 01:08:21,979
away because he confirmed the badge number.

1855
01:08:22,540 --> 01:08:25,000
And it wasn't a valid badge number.

1856
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:27,240
Well, he did some work.

1857
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,100
But this is very sophisticated.

1858
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,939
This is a very sophisticated scam.

1859
01:08:35,319 --> 01:08:37,640
Well, it reminds, it's just like a, it's

1860
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,319
a more advanced version of the, hey, granddad

1861
01:08:40,319 --> 01:08:42,279
call, which I've gotten twice.

1862
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:46,540
Both times from, yeah, okay.

1863
01:08:47,100 --> 01:08:48,180
Hey, granddad.

1864
01:08:48,859 --> 01:08:49,380
What?

1865
01:08:49,779 --> 01:08:49,939
Who?

1866
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:50,620
Who are you?

1867
01:08:50,620 --> 01:08:52,580
Yeah, it's your, it's your grandson.

1868
01:08:53,460 --> 01:08:54,620
I got arrested.

1869
01:08:55,859 --> 01:08:56,600
Yeah, I got it.

1870
01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:00,240
I said, the way that normal scam, I

1871
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:01,920
don't have kids old enough to get arrested.

1872
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:03,840
Their grandkids are old enough to get arrested.

1873
01:09:04,060 --> 01:09:04,800
So it doesn't work.

1874
01:09:04,899 --> 01:09:05,600
That's what you think.

1875
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,439
Well, I could, but it's possible, but I

1876
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:09,439
wouldn't care anyway.

1877
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,580
So it's just like, and I guess people

1878
01:09:13,580 --> 01:09:14,700
have fallen for this.

1879
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:15,260
Yes.

1880
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:16,200
Oh, yes.

1881
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,700
And that's the simplest of all those things.

1882
01:09:18,700 --> 01:09:21,060
Besides all the calls you normally get.

1883
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,680
Of course, why doesn't law enforcement crack down

1884
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:23,979
on this?

1885
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:24,939
It is doable.

1886
01:09:26,279 --> 01:09:27,319
Well, the problem is.

1887
01:09:27,740 --> 01:09:29,660
And the number of, we've played clips.

1888
01:09:30,140 --> 01:09:32,939
The trillions of dollars are being scammed, you

1889
01:09:32,939 --> 01:09:37,500
know, by, worldwide by these people and nothing's

1890
01:09:37,500 --> 01:09:38,460
being done about it.

1891
01:09:38,580 --> 01:09:40,720
And by the way, a few shows back,

1892
01:09:40,740 --> 01:09:42,000
I didn't read it, but we got boots

1893
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:43,760
on the ground report from someone who's in

1894
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:47,580
law enforcement and women, particularly older women fall

1895
01:09:47,580 --> 01:09:49,640
for this all the time.

1896
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:51,859
They, someone friends them on Facebook.

1897
01:09:52,319 --> 01:09:53,760
He's such a nice man.

1898
01:09:54,180 --> 01:09:56,740
And they build up a relationship over weeks.

1899
01:09:57,140 --> 01:09:59,520
And then the question comes, oh, can you

1900
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,280
just spot me a thousand bucks?

1901
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,400
And before you know it, they've, they've sent

1902
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,840
a hundred thousand dollars of their retirement money.

1903
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,420
The family is begging and pleading and like,

1904
01:10:09,460 --> 01:10:10,780
no, no, no, this is real.

1905
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:11,840
This is true love.

1906
01:10:11,940 --> 01:10:13,100
We have a real relationship.

1907
01:10:13,100 --> 01:10:13,900
This is legit.

1908
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,060
And you can't convince them otherwise.

1909
01:10:16,460 --> 01:10:16,600
Yeah.

1910
01:10:16,900 --> 01:10:18,620
Well, there was a report on one of

1911
01:10:18,620 --> 01:10:21,240
the Fox shows about how some woman lost

1912
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:25,300
$850,000 to a Brad Pitt.

1913
01:10:26,420 --> 01:10:28,400
Why are we still doing podcasts?

1914
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,080
What losers we are.

1915
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,300
Think about, think about, well, you and I

1916
01:10:32,300 --> 01:10:33,000
could do a group.

1917
01:10:33,060 --> 01:10:33,860
We could do voices.

1918
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:34,960
We can.

1919
01:10:36,100 --> 01:10:37,760
Oh, hey, how you doing?

1920
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,060
You could sit on TikTok all day, reeling

1921
01:10:41,060 --> 01:10:41,580
them in.

1922
01:10:41,820 --> 01:10:42,660
Yeah, it'd be great.

1923
01:10:43,100 --> 01:10:43,540
No.

1924
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:46,420
Claiming to be Brad Pitt.

1925
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,240
And the question the panel was asking, well,

1926
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,100
who thinks Brad Pitt needs money?

1927
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,260
I mean, the whole thing was stupid.

1928
01:10:56,580 --> 01:11:00,060
Well, I mean, there's, it's just, that's how

1929
01:11:00,060 --> 01:11:00,520
it goes.

1930
01:11:00,820 --> 01:11:02,440
You do a hundred a day.

1931
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,180
You hit one, you track it.

1932
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:05,220
You got a database.

1933
01:11:06,380 --> 01:11:08,640
The internet was a bad idea.

1934
01:11:10,020 --> 01:11:11,180
No, that's what I always.

1935
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,380
That's been my claim since day one.

1936
01:11:13,820 --> 01:11:14,840
But it's not just the internet.

1937
01:11:15,020 --> 01:11:16,460
Most of these things that most of the

1938
01:11:16,460 --> 01:11:17,960
scams are telephone scams.

1939
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:20,000
There's no internet involved.

1940
01:11:20,900 --> 01:11:21,140
Yes.

1941
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:22,420
Yeah.

1942
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:27,960
By the way, this has to be stopped.

1943
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,540
Do you have any Delulu clips for today?

1944
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:32,900
No, no Delulu clips for today.

1945
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,500
No, but I got a note from one

1946
01:11:35,500 --> 01:11:38,660
of our producers who starts by saying, you

1947
01:11:38,660 --> 01:11:39,960
know, I hadn't been hitting the mouth before

1948
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:41,580
the last election, but I'm sure you've covered

1949
01:11:41,580 --> 01:11:43,140
all of the Trump will still be president

1950
01:11:43,140 --> 01:11:44,760
YouTubers and TikTokers.

1951
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:47,860
So she is, I think she may be

1952
01:11:47,860 --> 01:11:48,160
young.

1953
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:49,480
Z.

1954
01:11:50,380 --> 01:11:52,220
I was getting all the updates from a

1955
01:11:52,220 --> 01:11:54,780
friend who was totally invested from the theories

1956
01:11:54,780 --> 01:11:58,060
around ballets to those she thought were.

1957
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:01,380
I'm sorry, from the theories around ballots to

1958
01:12:01,380 --> 01:12:03,220
those she thought were true profits.

1959
01:12:04,900 --> 01:12:07,880
She told me later that she had made

1960
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,640
detailed plans for her suicide if these things

1961
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:12,720
didn't come to pass and was only stopped

1962
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:14,660
by feeling God's clear intervention.

1963
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,360
In November, a family member had a close

1964
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:20,060
liberal friend attempt suicide the day after Trump's

1965
01:12:20,060 --> 01:12:20,440
election.

1966
01:12:21,020 --> 01:12:23,320
People on the left are truly terrified about

1967
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:24,040
the next term.

1968
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,160
And if I heard and believe what they

1969
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:28,160
do, I probably would be too.

1970
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,400
These team Delulu theorists and profits sadly may

1971
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:33,200
really hurt the public.

1972
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:34,440
People that believe in them.

1973
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,920
This is I mean, I agree it's along

1974
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:39,920
the same lines.

1975
01:12:40,020 --> 01:12:42,500
If people will believe that Brad Pitt needs

1976
01:12:42,500 --> 01:12:45,580
some cash, you know, and they believe that

1977
01:12:45,580 --> 01:12:48,780
well, to be fair about it, a lot

1978
01:12:48,780 --> 01:12:51,280
of people bought into the quantum dots.

1979
01:12:51,980 --> 01:12:54,080
You know, just be just be fair and

1980
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:54,500
Q.

1981
01:12:54,700 --> 01:12:56,220
Oh, man, bring back Q.

1982
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:57,040
That was so funny.

1983
01:12:57,100 --> 01:12:58,560
Please don't still around.

1984
01:12:58,660 --> 01:12:59,020
I know.

1985
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:00,580
Please don't send me an email.

1986
01:13:00,820 --> 01:13:01,600
He's still here.

1987
01:13:01,660 --> 01:13:02,600
He's got proofs.

1988
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:03,960
Follow the breadcrumbs.

1989
01:13:08,480 --> 01:13:10,800
I've become I've become cynical in my old

1990
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:11,040
age.

1991
01:13:11,140 --> 01:13:12,980
The show is being ruined because I'm becoming

1992
01:13:12,980 --> 01:13:13,480
like you.

1993
01:13:13,660 --> 01:13:14,940
This is ruining the show.

1994
01:13:15,340 --> 01:13:17,760
It's well, it's it's ruining the show.

1995
01:13:18,380 --> 01:13:19,600
No, it's giving now we have.

1996
01:13:19,900 --> 01:13:21,020
No, it's not.

1997
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:21,860
I think it's fine.

1998
01:13:21,940 --> 01:13:23,440
I think we can hang in there.

1999
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:23,840
Okay.

2000
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,760
For four more years, we can do it.

2001
01:13:27,900 --> 01:13:29,480
Let's talk a little bit about the fires.

2002
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,400
Oh, you mean Newsom's Inferno?

2003
01:13:32,860 --> 01:13:34,020
Is that another one?

2004
01:13:34,140 --> 01:13:34,640
You like it?

2005
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:35,340
Do you like it?

2006
01:13:35,340 --> 01:13:36,920
Yeah, I like Newsom's Inferno.

2007
01:13:36,980 --> 01:13:38,520
I think Newsom's Inferno is good.

2008
01:13:38,740 --> 01:13:39,480
Can I start?

2009
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:40,680
Where did that come from?

2010
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,320
I will tell you because I did not

2011
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:45,280
make it up myself.

2012
01:13:45,460 --> 01:13:47,280
I want to be clear.

2013
01:13:47,440 --> 01:13:48,720
This is one of our producers.

2014
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:50,340
Hold on.

2015
01:13:51,940 --> 01:13:54,700
It was Michael Falwell.

2016
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:58,340
Michael came up with it, but we will

2017
01:13:58,340 --> 01:13:59,100
appropriate it.

2018
01:13:59,180 --> 01:14:00,380
And from now on, it is a no

2019
01:14:00,380 --> 01:14:01,020
agenda term.

2020
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:02,060
I like it.

2021
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:02,340
Yes.

2022
01:14:02,340 --> 01:14:04,820
I think it's a possible show title.

2023
01:14:04,980 --> 01:14:06,800
I'd like to start us off with Jimmy

2024
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:07,140
Kimmel.

2025
01:14:08,780 --> 01:14:11,260
Just to get just to get that poor

2026
01:14:11,260 --> 01:14:11,540
guy.

2027
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:13,840
What a pathetic soul he's turned out to

2028
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:14,320
be.

2029
01:14:21,250 --> 01:14:22,130
Very scary.

2030
01:14:22,310 --> 01:14:23,110
Very stressful.

2031
01:14:23,250 --> 01:14:25,810
Very strange week here in L.A. where

2032
01:14:25,810 --> 01:14:28,130
we work, where we live.

2033
01:14:28,270 --> 01:14:29,070
He's already crying.

2034
01:14:29,170 --> 01:14:30,470
Our kids go to school.

2035
01:14:31,010 --> 01:14:32,330
We are back at our studio, which we

2036
01:14:32,330 --> 01:14:33,590
had to evacuate on Wednesday.

2037
01:14:33,730 --> 01:14:36,510
This is that's our building right there.

2038
01:14:36,510 --> 01:14:40,410
That is how close this fire was to

2039
01:14:40,410 --> 01:14:41,330
our theater here.

2040
01:14:41,790 --> 01:14:43,970
Many of us had to leave our homes

2041
01:14:43,970 --> 01:14:44,530
in a hurry.

2042
01:14:44,670 --> 01:14:46,750
Some of our co-workers lost their homes.

2043
01:14:48,430 --> 01:14:49,290
That's Hollywood.

2044
01:14:50,310 --> 01:14:50,530
Yes.

2045
01:14:51,070 --> 01:14:53,450
It's been terrible.

2046
01:14:53,790 --> 01:14:54,610
It's been a terrible.

2047
01:14:54,970 --> 01:14:57,750
Everyone who lives in this city knows someone,

2048
01:14:57,950 --> 01:15:01,630
most of us, multiple people, families, friends, colleagues,

2049
01:15:01,810 --> 01:15:03,390
neighbors whose houses burned down.

2050
01:15:03,970 --> 01:15:05,490
And the truth is, we don't even know

2051
01:15:05,490 --> 01:15:05,930
if it's over.

2052
01:15:05,930 --> 01:15:08,870
We had 100 mile per hour winds fueling

2053
01:15:08,870 --> 01:15:09,470
this nightmare.

2054
01:15:09,690 --> 01:15:12,270
As of tonight, the winds are back.

2055
01:15:12,370 --> 01:15:13,730
And I think I speak for all of

2056
01:15:13,730 --> 01:15:15,730
us when I say it has been a

2057
01:15:15,730 --> 01:15:19,970
sickening, shocking, awful experience, but has also been,

2058
01:15:20,210 --> 01:15:22,250
in a lot of ways, a beautiful experience.

2059
01:15:22,250 --> 01:15:27,450
Because once again, we see our fellow men

2060
01:15:27,450 --> 01:15:30,290
and women coming together to support each other.

2061
01:15:30,410 --> 01:15:32,690
People who lost their own homes were out

2062
01:15:32,690 --> 01:15:35,770
volunteering in parking lots, helping others who lost

2063
01:15:35,770 --> 01:15:36,150
theirs.

2064
01:15:37,010 --> 01:15:37,530
And tonight...

2065
01:15:39,810 --> 01:15:41,390
We're here to talk show.

2066
01:15:41,430 --> 01:15:42,050
Not helping.

2067
01:15:42,250 --> 01:15:43,010
Yes, yes.

2068
01:15:44,950 --> 01:15:47,510
Getting into all the vile and irresponsible and

2069
01:15:47,510 --> 01:15:50,050
stupid things our alleged future president in his

2070
01:15:50,050 --> 01:15:52,770
gaggle of scumbags chose to say during our

2071
01:15:52,770 --> 01:15:54,870
darkest and most terrifying hour.

2072
01:15:55,290 --> 01:15:57,250
The fact that he chose to attack our

2073
01:15:57,250 --> 01:15:57,710
fires.

2074
01:15:58,350 --> 01:16:01,410
Because Kimmel's job here is to be a

2075
01:16:01,410 --> 01:16:04,170
political weapon, whatever he's trying to do.

2076
01:16:04,170 --> 01:16:06,710
Did anyone still watch that show?

2077
01:16:06,850 --> 01:16:07,390
Let's take a look.

2078
01:16:08,350 --> 01:16:09,110
Well, you...

2079
01:16:09,110 --> 01:16:10,890
Somebody did to get that clip, but I

2080
01:16:10,890 --> 01:16:11,150
don't.

2081
01:16:11,170 --> 01:16:12,610
I find it's hard to watch.

2082
01:16:12,710 --> 01:16:13,710
Well, it's 11 more seconds.

2083
01:16:13,710 --> 01:16:15,510
I mean, he had a nice formula going

2084
01:16:15,510 --> 01:16:16,910
for a while, but it's become...

2085
01:16:16,910 --> 01:16:19,870
The Trump derangement situation with him has gone

2086
01:16:19,870 --> 01:16:20,590
out of control.

2087
01:16:21,010 --> 01:16:23,230
And now to throw Trump into these...

2088
01:16:23,230 --> 01:16:25,750
You know, anyone who brings Trump into the

2089
01:16:25,750 --> 01:16:28,930
conversation regarding these fires has got to screw

2090
01:16:28,930 --> 01:16:29,290
loose.

2091
01:16:29,670 --> 01:16:31,650
Trump had nothing to do with these fires,

2092
01:16:31,670 --> 01:16:32,530
one way or the other.

2093
01:16:32,530 --> 01:16:35,490
And his comments about the fires are minor.

2094
01:16:35,810 --> 01:16:38,390
And who cares what he has to say?

2095
01:16:38,410 --> 01:16:39,670
He doesn't say anything about them.

2096
01:16:40,030 --> 01:16:41,090
It's not his business.

2097
01:16:42,290 --> 01:16:43,630
And he's not president.

2098
01:16:44,190 --> 01:16:44,490
No.

2099
01:16:44,930 --> 01:16:46,390
Well, we'll finish this up.

2100
01:16:46,450 --> 01:16:49,430
Future president in his gaggle of scumbags chose

2101
01:16:49,430 --> 01:16:52,250
to say during our darkest and most terrifying

2102
01:16:52,250 --> 01:16:52,550
hour.

2103
01:16:52,910 --> 01:16:54,950
The fact that he chose to attack our

2104
01:16:54,950 --> 01:16:57,850
firefighters, who apparently aren't white enough to be

2105
01:16:57,850 --> 01:16:59,830
out there risking their lives on our behalf,

2106
01:16:59,830 --> 01:17:02,610
it's disgusting, but it's not surprising.

2107
01:17:03,030 --> 01:17:05,410
Instead, I want to focus on thanking those

2108
01:17:05,410 --> 01:17:06,070
men and women.

2109
01:17:06,490 --> 01:17:07,770
Oh, yes.

2110
01:17:08,790 --> 01:17:10,450
He should have just gone off the air.

2111
01:17:12,870 --> 01:17:14,510
Well, he's a guy who's been caught in

2112
01:17:14,510 --> 01:17:16,090
blackface more than once.

2113
01:17:16,650 --> 01:17:19,950
He was actually suspended for a while because

2114
01:17:19,950 --> 01:17:20,510
of it.

2115
01:17:20,710 --> 01:17:22,790
And he should have been canceled, but he

2116
01:17:22,790 --> 01:17:23,330
wasn't.

2117
01:17:23,770 --> 01:17:25,390
And so now he's back and he can't

2118
01:17:25,390 --> 01:17:26,290
even hold it together.

2119
01:17:26,690 --> 01:17:26,890
No.

2120
01:17:27,530 --> 01:17:28,790
He can't even produce a show.

2121
01:17:29,910 --> 01:17:32,450
I mean, it's not everything that takes place

2122
01:17:32,450 --> 01:17:34,170
in the world is not about L.A.

2123
01:17:34,190 --> 01:17:34,810
and its fires.

2124
01:17:35,170 --> 01:17:35,570
No.

2125
01:17:36,430 --> 01:17:38,050
I have a mini supercut.

2126
01:17:39,190 --> 01:17:39,770
Of the fires?

2127
01:17:40,070 --> 01:17:41,210
Yes, of course I do.

2128
01:17:41,390 --> 01:17:41,990
Here it is.

2129
01:17:42,050 --> 01:17:43,970
It essentially looks like a bomb went off

2130
01:17:43,970 --> 01:17:44,310
out here.

2131
01:17:44,390 --> 01:17:45,970
It looks like a bomb went off here

2132
01:17:45,970 --> 01:17:46,570
as well.

2133
01:17:46,690 --> 01:17:47,930
It looks like a bomb went off.

2134
01:17:47,970 --> 01:17:49,510
Looks like it was carpet bombed.

2135
01:17:49,610 --> 01:17:51,350
Every single home is obliterated.

2136
01:17:52,270 --> 01:17:53,350
Looks like a bomb went off.

2137
01:17:53,510 --> 01:17:55,410
Cars obliterated like bombs went off.

2138
01:17:55,430 --> 01:17:57,350
It looks like a bomb went off.

2139
01:17:57,370 --> 01:17:58,070
It looks apocalyptic.

2140
01:17:58,070 --> 01:17:58,910
Apocalyptic.

2141
01:17:59,070 --> 01:18:00,510
It looks like Hiroshima.

2142
01:18:01,010 --> 01:18:01,910
A bomb went off.

2143
01:18:02,030 --> 01:18:02,750
Everything is gone.

2144
01:18:02,870 --> 01:18:04,370
It looks like Hiroshima.

2145
01:18:04,590 --> 01:18:06,310
It looks like literally a nuclear bomb went

2146
01:18:06,310 --> 01:18:07,930
off and leveled our entire city.

2147
01:18:08,010 --> 01:18:09,290
Looks like a disaster zone.

2148
01:18:09,390 --> 01:18:10,530
Like a bomb went off.

2149
01:18:10,630 --> 01:18:12,570
Looking like a bomb went off.

2150
01:18:12,610 --> 01:18:13,790
It looks like a bomb went off.

2151
01:18:13,870 --> 01:18:15,150
It's really unbelievable.

2152
01:18:15,490 --> 01:18:16,730
It looks like a bomb went off.

2153
01:18:17,130 --> 01:18:19,470
The truth wants to come out everywhere on

2154
01:18:19,470 --> 01:18:19,890
this thing.

2155
01:18:19,950 --> 01:18:21,310
It's kind of frightening.

2156
01:18:21,550 --> 01:18:24,450
This is the Los Angeles County Public Works

2157
01:18:24,450 --> 01:18:24,970
director.

2158
01:18:24,970 --> 01:18:27,250
My first piece of advice to you is,

2159
01:18:27,610 --> 01:18:29,090
let's take care of our mental and physical

2160
01:18:29,090 --> 01:18:31,510
health first before we embark upon what is

2161
01:18:31,510 --> 01:18:33,930
going to be a journey to rebuild these

2162
01:18:33,930 --> 01:18:36,050
communities back and rebuild them better than they

2163
01:18:36,050 --> 01:18:38,050
were when we started this fire.

2164
01:18:38,290 --> 01:18:38,710
What?

2165
01:18:40,030 --> 01:18:40,510
What?

2166
01:18:42,050 --> 01:18:42,150
Wow.

2167
01:18:42,750 --> 01:18:43,230
What?

2168
01:18:45,070 --> 01:18:46,310
That's a great catch.

2169
01:18:46,430 --> 01:18:47,090
Oh, no.

2170
01:18:47,450 --> 01:18:48,070
Oh, no.

2171
01:18:48,130 --> 01:18:48,790
That's horrible.

2172
01:18:48,910 --> 01:18:50,030
I can't believe you said that.

2173
01:18:50,450 --> 01:18:51,530
There was another one.

2174
01:18:52,030 --> 01:18:52,450
It's true.

2175
01:18:52,670 --> 01:18:52,830
Yeah.

2176
01:18:52,830 --> 01:18:56,930
There was another one here, I thought.

2177
01:18:57,750 --> 01:18:59,910
Oh, yes, this is another funny one.

2178
01:19:00,350 --> 01:19:01,810
And by the way, with respect to the

2179
01:19:01,810 --> 01:19:04,370
charges I'm going to announce, please know this.

2180
01:19:04,650 --> 01:19:06,450
This is the Los Angeles district attorney.

2181
01:19:06,990 --> 01:19:09,330
The charges themselves are not evidence.

2182
01:19:09,930 --> 01:19:12,230
Everyone that I'm going to describe today is

2183
01:19:12,230 --> 01:19:15,670
presumed guilty until and unless they are proven

2184
01:19:15,670 --> 01:19:16,410
guilt.

2185
01:19:16,770 --> 01:19:19,530
Their guilt is proven by the government beyond

2186
01:19:19,530 --> 01:19:20,610
a reasonable doubt.

2187
01:19:20,790 --> 01:19:21,610
So they're all guilty.

2188
01:19:21,690 --> 01:19:22,290
They're guilty.

2189
01:19:22,290 --> 01:19:23,970
The arsonists, they're all guilty.

2190
01:19:25,770 --> 01:19:28,130
The one arsonist, they already let him go.

2191
01:19:29,350 --> 01:19:31,330
Yeah, but there's plenty of videos of people

2192
01:19:31,330 --> 01:19:32,230
setting fires.

2193
01:19:32,570 --> 01:19:33,670
And this is what happens.

2194
01:19:33,710 --> 01:19:35,310
This is what happens when you have a

2195
01:19:35,310 --> 01:19:36,850
rotten society.

2196
01:19:37,730 --> 01:19:39,970
Yeah, they're torching it when they can.

2197
01:19:40,330 --> 01:19:44,670
And I was kind of amazed by this.

2198
01:19:45,170 --> 01:19:51,210
Actually, this is a TikToker in Los Angeles.

2199
01:19:51,210 --> 01:19:53,410
I guess her house did not burn down.

2200
01:19:54,650 --> 01:19:57,070
And she had this to say.

2201
01:19:57,130 --> 01:19:58,290
I want to take a minute to talk

2202
01:19:58,290 --> 01:20:00,310
about looting, because I think it's worth considering

2203
01:20:00,310 --> 01:20:03,050
why people would run into an active fire

2204
01:20:03,050 --> 01:20:06,810
to steal stuff rather than fleeing the fire.

2205
01:20:07,110 --> 01:20:08,470
And it seems like in the media coverage

2206
01:20:08,470 --> 01:20:10,010
that I'm listening to, that people think that

2207
01:20:10,010 --> 01:20:12,450
people are just, like, greedy who want to

2208
01:20:12,450 --> 01:20:12,830
be looting.

2209
01:20:13,030 --> 01:20:15,470
And I'm just wondering if maybe these people

2210
01:20:15,470 --> 01:20:18,810
have actually considered whether it is safer for

2211
01:20:18,810 --> 01:20:21,370
them to run into a fire or to

2212
01:20:21,370 --> 01:20:24,870
continue to exist within capitalism without access to

2213
01:20:24,870 --> 01:20:25,370
resources.

2214
01:20:25,610 --> 01:20:26,990
And after weighing the pros and cons, they

2215
01:20:26,990 --> 01:20:29,250
concluded that the safer option is to run

2216
01:20:29,250 --> 01:20:30,550
into the fire to steal stuff.

2217
01:20:30,670 --> 01:20:33,770
Because you never see, like, Elon or Jeff

2218
01:20:33,770 --> 01:20:36,070
or Mark running into a fire to steal

2219
01:20:36,070 --> 01:20:38,030
stuff, because they don't have to run into

2220
01:20:38,030 --> 01:20:38,970
a fire to steal stuff.

2221
01:20:39,050 --> 01:20:41,010
They can just steal from their workers via

2222
01:20:41,010 --> 01:20:41,530
wage theft.

2223
01:20:41,650 --> 01:20:43,470
And that's legal within capitalism.

2224
01:20:43,470 --> 01:20:46,250
So if we want people to stop looting,

2225
01:20:46,510 --> 01:20:49,190
I'm wondering if maybe the solution isn't to

2226
01:20:49,190 --> 01:20:52,430
have more police, but rather to have a

2227
01:20:52,430 --> 01:20:54,650
system where people don't feel like it's a

2228
01:20:54,650 --> 01:20:56,950
better option to run into a fire.

2229
01:20:57,510 --> 01:20:59,470
This is so short-sighted.

2230
01:21:00,410 --> 01:21:01,110
First of all, these are- Well, not

2231
01:21:01,110 --> 01:21:03,010
only that, but nobody's running into the fire.

2232
01:21:03,110 --> 01:21:03,370
No.

2233
01:21:03,490 --> 01:21:05,410
Because the fires are over, the houses that

2234
01:21:05,410 --> 01:21:06,810
are left are the ones being looted.

2235
01:21:06,950 --> 01:21:08,710
So she's full of shit from the get

2236
01:21:08,710 --> 01:21:08,990
-go.

2237
01:21:09,110 --> 01:21:12,650
But the looting is, that's socialism in reverse.

2238
01:21:13,210 --> 01:21:15,330
Either you give your stuff up front, or

2239
01:21:15,330 --> 01:21:16,550
they steal it from you later.

2240
01:21:17,190 --> 01:21:20,130
You're going to lose your stuff, lady, with

2241
01:21:20,130 --> 01:21:20,930
what you want.

2242
01:21:22,110 --> 01:21:25,130
It's just these- And we have producers

2243
01:21:25,130 --> 01:21:27,010
who live out there who have been affected

2244
01:21:27,010 --> 01:21:27,530
by this.

2245
01:21:27,710 --> 01:21:29,850
So, you know, it really is no laughing

2246
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:30,250
matter.

2247
01:21:30,510 --> 01:21:36,290
But looking at the possible, you know, never

2248
01:21:36,290 --> 01:21:38,530
let a good crisis go to waste.

2249
01:21:38,530 --> 01:21:40,970
A lot of people commented on this clip

2250
01:21:40,970 --> 01:21:42,350
of Newsom.

2251
01:21:42,890 --> 01:21:47,330
And the minute he talks about speculators buying

2252
01:21:47,330 --> 01:21:49,970
up properties, he's shaking his shoulders.

2253
01:21:50,130 --> 01:21:51,250
He's wiggling his shoulders.

2254
01:21:51,330 --> 01:21:53,730
Yes, this is the strangest- Yes, this

2255
01:21:53,730 --> 01:21:57,190
clip is better if we're a video showing

2256
01:21:57,190 --> 01:21:57,290
it.

2257
01:21:57,390 --> 01:21:58,770
But I think people can find it.

2258
01:21:59,190 --> 01:22:01,250
Yeah, he's wiggling around like some sort of

2259
01:22:01,250 --> 01:22:03,690
a- Like he's got ants crawling up

2260
01:22:03,690 --> 01:22:04,230
him or something.

2261
01:22:04,330 --> 01:22:06,090
Well, if you listen now, so that was

2262
01:22:06,090 --> 01:22:06,870
the distraction.

2263
01:22:06,870 --> 01:22:09,230
If you listen to what he's actually saying,

2264
01:22:09,910 --> 01:22:11,850
it sounds to me like he wants to

2265
01:22:11,850 --> 01:22:13,270
help these speculators.

2266
01:22:13,730 --> 01:22:15,450
Listen now, this is good that there's no

2267
01:22:15,450 --> 01:22:15,870
video.

2268
01:22:15,990 --> 01:22:17,450
We're dealing with a myriad of issues.

2269
01:22:17,750 --> 01:22:19,330
I was just talking to Josh Green, the

2270
01:22:19,330 --> 01:22:19,570
governor.

2271
01:22:20,030 --> 01:22:20,690
Laugh tale.

2272
01:22:20,830 --> 01:22:21,650
Why is it a laugh tale?

2273
01:22:21,690 --> 01:22:22,830
Why the laugh tale, Newsom?

2274
01:22:22,870 --> 01:22:23,470
Why are you laughing?

2275
01:22:23,650 --> 01:22:25,210
I was just talking to Josh Green, the

2276
01:22:25,210 --> 01:22:28,650
governor down in Hawaii.

2277
01:22:28,710 --> 01:22:30,830
He had some ideas around some land use

2278
01:22:30,830 --> 01:22:34,150
concerns he has around speculators coming in, buying

2279
01:22:34,150 --> 01:22:36,070
up properties and the like.

2280
01:22:36,070 --> 01:22:38,130
We're already working with our legal teams to

2281
01:22:38,130 --> 01:22:39,530
move those things forward.

2282
01:22:39,850 --> 01:22:42,350
To move those things forward- Wow, you're

2283
01:22:42,350 --> 01:22:42,710
right.

2284
01:22:42,810 --> 01:22:43,690
This is interesting.

2285
01:22:43,950 --> 01:22:46,390
It's possible that the wiggling around was distracting

2286
01:22:46,390 --> 01:22:47,350
from what he's saying.

2287
01:22:47,630 --> 01:22:48,030
Completely.

2288
01:22:48,230 --> 01:22:49,830
He's saying, at first he's laughing- Yeah,

2289
01:22:49,870 --> 01:22:51,110
we're going to try to move it along,

2290
01:22:51,170 --> 01:22:52,590
get some speculation going here.

2291
01:22:53,370 --> 01:22:54,970
I'd buy a lot or two myself.

2292
01:22:55,270 --> 01:22:56,210
Yes, we're in the market.

2293
01:22:56,370 --> 01:22:58,030
Let's listen to it in context one more

2294
01:22:58,030 --> 01:22:58,290
time.

2295
01:22:58,330 --> 01:22:59,590
We're dealing with a myriad of issues.

2296
01:22:59,870 --> 01:23:01,490
I was just talking to Josh Green, the

2297
01:23:01,490 --> 01:23:04,950
governor down in Hawaii.

2298
01:23:04,950 --> 01:23:07,110
He had some ideas around some land use

2299
01:23:07,110 --> 01:23:10,450
concerns he has around speculators coming in, buying

2300
01:23:10,450 --> 01:23:12,350
up properties and the like.

2301
01:23:12,430 --> 01:23:14,430
We're already working with our legal teams to

2302
01:23:14,430 --> 01:23:15,810
move those things forward.

2303
01:23:15,970 --> 01:23:17,890
We'll be presenting those in a matter of

2304
01:23:17,890 --> 01:23:18,770
days, not just weeks.

2305
01:23:18,870 --> 01:23:20,470
We'll be presenting those to who?

2306
01:23:20,590 --> 01:23:21,470
To the speculators?

2307
01:23:22,590 --> 01:23:24,930
This is exactly what he said.

2308
01:23:25,250 --> 01:23:27,330
I need to go back to the Meet

2309
01:23:27,330 --> 01:23:31,330
the Press stylized interview where he talked about

2310
01:23:31,330 --> 01:23:32,470
the rebuilding.

2311
01:23:32,470 --> 01:23:33,850
You're here with us on Meet the Press

2312
01:23:33,850 --> 01:23:35,470
to announce a new executive order.

2313
01:23:35,670 --> 01:23:36,610
What is this executive order?

2314
01:23:36,730 --> 01:23:37,590
What are you hoping to accomplish?

2315
01:23:37,930 --> 01:23:40,010
We've got to be thinking three weeks, three

2316
01:23:40,010 --> 01:23:41,250
months, three years ahead.

2317
01:23:41,350 --> 01:23:43,070
At the same time, we're focusing on the

2318
01:23:43,070 --> 01:23:45,090
immediacy, which is life, safety, and property.

2319
01:23:45,710 --> 01:23:49,030
We want to fast track by eliminating any

2320
01:23:49,030 --> 01:23:49,870
secret requirements.

2321
01:23:50,150 --> 01:23:52,870
I've got coastal act changes that we're making.

2322
01:23:53,170 --> 01:23:54,890
I want to make sure when someone rebuilds

2323
01:23:54,890 --> 01:23:57,450
that they have their old property tax assessments

2324
01:23:58,010 --> 01:23:59,330
and that they're not increased.

2325
01:23:59,510 --> 01:24:01,350
All of that's been done in the executive

2326
01:24:01,350 --> 01:24:02,230
order we just announced.

2327
01:24:02,230 --> 01:24:02,790
Wait a minute.

2328
01:24:02,870 --> 01:24:03,930
I'll just stop there for a second.

2329
01:24:04,330 --> 01:24:05,730
Perfect for speculators.

2330
01:24:05,930 --> 01:24:07,830
Hey, if you come in, buy this up,

2331
01:24:08,270 --> 01:24:09,630
you get the old tax rate.

2332
01:24:09,890 --> 01:24:10,430
We're good.

2333
01:24:10,710 --> 01:24:11,790
We're open for business.

2334
01:24:12,150 --> 01:24:13,850
CEQA, Governor, and the coastal act are both

2335
01:24:13,850 --> 01:24:14,930
environmental regulations.

2336
01:24:15,110 --> 01:24:16,210
And if you're going to be suspending those

2337
01:24:16,210 --> 01:24:19,390
temporarily, are you concerned about problems that may

2338
01:24:19,390 --> 01:24:21,870
result from the suspension of those environmental regulations

2339
01:24:21,870 --> 01:24:23,530
and the potential abuse by developers?

2340
01:24:23,710 --> 01:24:24,490
Yeah, we're not going to.

2341
01:24:24,550 --> 01:24:27,490
And within this executive order, we frame those

2342
01:24:27,490 --> 01:24:27,890
abuses.

2343
01:24:27,890 --> 01:24:31,070
We basically bookmark that in the context of

2344
01:24:31,070 --> 01:24:35,150
maintaining the existing footprints on the coastal act.

2345
01:24:35,230 --> 01:24:36,730
They allow just a 10% variant.

2346
01:24:37,110 --> 01:24:38,310
So we're going to be very mindful of

2347
01:24:38,310 --> 01:24:38,410
that.

2348
01:24:39,010 --> 01:24:42,230
California leads the nation in environmental stewardship.

2349
01:24:42,490 --> 01:24:44,110
I'm not going to give that up.

2350
01:24:44,170 --> 01:24:46,770
But one thing I won't give into is

2351
01:24:46,770 --> 01:24:47,110
delay.

2352
01:24:47,550 --> 01:24:49,370
We've got to let people know we have

2353
01:24:49,370 --> 01:24:49,770
their back.

2354
01:24:49,830 --> 01:24:50,670
We're going to be back.

2355
01:24:50,750 --> 01:24:52,350
We're going to do it efficiently and effectively.

2356
01:24:52,570 --> 01:24:53,510
Don't turn your back.

2357
01:24:53,870 --> 01:24:56,230
Don't walk away because we want you to

2358
01:24:56,230 --> 01:24:57,870
come back, rebuild, and rebuild.

2359
01:24:57,870 --> 01:25:00,550
Build with higher quality building standards, more modern

2360
01:25:00,550 --> 01:25:01,130
standards.

2361
01:25:01,450 --> 01:25:03,270
We want to make sure that the associated

2362
01:25:03,270 --> 01:25:06,150
costs with that are not disproportionate, especially in

2363
01:25:06,150 --> 01:25:07,690
a middle class community like this.

2364
01:25:07,750 --> 01:25:08,090
Build, build.

2365
01:25:08,210 --> 01:25:09,310
He says better back.

2366
01:25:09,430 --> 01:25:10,090
Build what?

2367
01:25:19,790 --> 01:25:23,590
And that falls right into LA 2.0.

2368
01:25:23,630 --> 01:25:24,670
Over the course of the next several years,

2369
01:25:24,770 --> 01:25:26,370
Los Angeles will be host to the World

2370
01:25:26,370 --> 01:25:28,470
Cup and then the Super Bowl and then

2371
01:25:28,470 --> 01:25:28,870
the Olympics.

2372
01:25:29,110 --> 01:25:33,110
With this rebuilding effort needing to take place,

2373
01:25:33,210 --> 01:25:34,290
is LA going to be ready for all

2374
01:25:34,290 --> 01:25:35,070
of those global events?

2375
01:25:35,930 --> 01:25:40,810
My humble position, and it's not just being

2376
01:25:40,810 --> 01:25:45,110
naively optimistic, that only reinforces the imperative of

2377
01:25:45,110 --> 01:25:47,770
moving quickly, doing in the spirit of collaboration

2378
01:25:47,770 --> 01:25:48,510
and cooperation.

2379
01:25:49,030 --> 01:25:50,830
President of the United States, Donald Trump, to

2380
01:25:50,830 --> 01:25:53,890
his credit, was helpful in getting the Olympics

2381
01:25:53,890 --> 01:25:56,230
to the United States of America, to get

2382
01:25:56,230 --> 01:25:57,210
it down here in LA.

2383
01:25:57,370 --> 01:25:58,350
We thank him for that.

2384
01:25:58,710 --> 01:26:00,490
This is an opportunity for him to shine,

2385
01:26:00,670 --> 01:26:03,330
for this country to shine, for California and

2386
01:26:03,330 --> 01:26:04,530
this community to shine.

2387
01:26:04,630 --> 01:26:07,710
The opportunity with all of that and all

2388
01:26:07,710 --> 01:26:09,770
that opportunity and that pride and spirit that

2389
01:26:09,770 --> 01:26:12,110
comes from not just hosting those three iconic

2390
01:26:12,110 --> 01:26:15,350
games and venues, but also the opportunity, I

2391
01:26:15,350 --> 01:26:16,830
think, to rebuild at the same time.

2392
01:26:16,910 --> 01:26:19,250
And that's why we're already organizing a Marshall

2393
01:26:19,250 --> 01:26:19,650
Plan.

2394
01:26:19,650 --> 01:26:22,210
We already have a team looking at reimagining

2395
01:26:22,210 --> 01:26:24,970
LA 2.0, and we're making sure everyone's

2396
01:26:24,970 --> 01:26:26,610
included, not just the folks on the coast,

2397
01:26:26,950 --> 01:26:29,670
people here that were ravaged by this disaster.

2398
01:26:29,870 --> 01:26:32,650
So everybody gets to participate in LA 2

2399
01:26:32,650 --> 01:26:34,770
.0, and it will be a dystopia.

2400
01:26:34,890 --> 01:26:36,030
It's going to be great.

2401
01:26:36,250 --> 01:26:39,390
Here is LA's smart city strategy, which was

2402
01:26:39,390 --> 01:26:41,210
already on the books for 2028.

2403
01:26:41,370 --> 01:26:42,170
Let's accelerate.

2404
01:26:42,550 --> 01:26:45,170
Hi, my name is Ted Ross, Chief Information

2405
01:26:45,170 --> 01:26:47,250
Officer at the City of Los Angeles.

2406
01:26:47,250 --> 01:26:49,470
As you know, we live in a world

2407
01:26:49,470 --> 01:26:53,250
full of urban challenges, from traffic congestion that

2408
01:26:53,250 --> 01:26:55,810
takes our time and pollutes our environment, to

2409
01:26:55,810 --> 01:26:58,070
natural disasters that threaten the safety of our

2410
01:26:58,070 --> 01:26:58,590
communities.

2411
01:26:59,130 --> 01:27:02,050
To address these challenges, Los Angeles looks to

2412
01:27:02,050 --> 01:27:06,110
smart city technology that can positively transform our

2413
01:27:06,110 --> 01:27:06,870
urban environment.

2414
01:27:07,430 --> 01:27:10,570
While not a silver bullet, technology provides solutions

2415
01:27:10,570 --> 01:27:13,670
that were previously unavailable to the generations who

2416
01:27:13,670 --> 01:27:14,390
lived before us.

2417
01:27:14,710 --> 01:27:18,310
It is technology that enables transparency in our

2418
01:27:18,310 --> 01:27:21,130
policing and gives a powerful voice to our

2419
01:27:21,130 --> 01:27:21,990
diverse communities.

2420
01:27:22,770 --> 01:27:26,670
It's technology that innovates alternative energy sources to

2421
01:27:26,670 --> 01:27:28,710
reduce pollution and limit our carbon footprint.

2422
01:27:29,290 --> 01:27:32,070
And it is technology that provides ultra high

2423
01:27:32,070 --> 01:27:35,510
speed internet connectivity for LA residents and businesses

2424
01:27:35,510 --> 01:27:37,790
to do amazing things.

2425
01:27:38,150 --> 01:27:41,190
Technology enables the city of LA to efficiently

2426
01:27:41,190 --> 01:27:44,150
and ethically improve the quality of life for

2427
01:27:44,150 --> 01:27:46,390
our residents, businesses and visitors.

2428
01:27:47,030 --> 01:27:49,730
In other words, when done right, technology makes

2429
01:27:49,730 --> 01:27:50,890
us smarter.

2430
01:27:51,890 --> 01:27:54,350
That's why the City of Los Angeles strives

2431
01:27:54,350 --> 01:27:56,010
to be a smart city.

2432
01:27:56,710 --> 01:27:58,610
And there's never been a more important time

2433
01:27:58,610 --> 01:28:00,890
for Los Angeles to be smart than now.

2434
01:28:01,070 --> 01:28:01,310
Yeah.

2435
01:28:01,390 --> 01:28:03,290
As we prepare to host the world in

2436
01:28:03,290 --> 01:28:05,930
the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.

2437
01:28:06,130 --> 01:28:07,870
So would you like to hear the five

2438
01:28:07,870 --> 01:28:08,790
point plan?

2439
01:28:11,290 --> 01:28:12,570
Well, I might as well.

2440
01:28:12,690 --> 01:28:14,010
I think you should.

2441
01:28:14,010 --> 01:28:16,430
In LA, we believe smart cities are much

2442
01:28:16,430 --> 01:28:19,190
more than software you purchase or sensors that

2443
01:28:19,190 --> 01:28:20,410
you install in the cityscape.

2444
01:28:20,610 --> 01:28:21,450
Oh, it's much more.

2445
01:28:21,530 --> 01:28:23,050
In fact, it's exactly that.

2446
01:28:23,350 --> 01:28:26,670
A smart city is an integrated, intelligent urban

2447
01:28:26,670 --> 01:28:27,370
ecosystem.

2448
01:28:27,530 --> 01:28:29,570
Oh, John, can you see the PowerPoint?

2449
01:28:30,290 --> 01:28:32,890
An integrated, intelligent ecosystem.

2450
01:28:34,210 --> 01:28:34,730
Dystopia.

2451
01:28:35,250 --> 01:28:38,050
Comprised of multiple ingredients that must work together

2452
01:28:38,050 --> 01:28:39,330
for the benefit of the public.

2453
01:28:39,550 --> 01:28:40,950
You see that on the screen, like your

2454
01:28:40,950 --> 01:28:43,670
washing machine is connected to your car, connected

2455
01:28:43,670 --> 01:28:44,610
to your house.

2456
01:28:44,610 --> 01:28:45,390
It's beautiful.

2457
01:28:45,990 --> 01:28:48,930
This would include, first, smart city infrastructure.

2458
01:28:49,210 --> 01:28:49,330
Yeah.

2459
01:28:49,510 --> 01:28:51,970
This is the physical technology used to deliver

2460
01:28:51,970 --> 01:28:56,210
smart city technologies, such as Department of Transportation's

2461
01:28:56,210 --> 01:28:57,790
ATSAC traffic management system.

2462
01:28:57,930 --> 01:28:58,330
Sensors.

2463
01:28:58,410 --> 01:29:01,790
Which uses 4,500 connected traffic intersections.

2464
01:29:02,350 --> 01:29:04,730
To reduce travel time by more than 13%.

2465
01:29:04,730 --> 01:29:09,090
Or the public works street lightings, 165,000

2466
01:29:09,090 --> 01:29:12,470
LED street lamps that saves $3 million a

2467
01:29:12,470 --> 01:29:13,250
year in electricity.

2468
01:29:13,570 --> 01:29:14,810
Yeah, and spy on you.

2469
01:29:15,370 --> 01:29:17,630
Second, our smart city data tools.

2470
01:29:17,770 --> 01:29:18,270
Data tools.

2471
01:29:18,290 --> 01:29:20,630
This is the ability to share information across

2472
01:29:20,630 --> 01:29:22,830
the smart city when you need it, where

2473
01:29:22,830 --> 01:29:23,330
you need it.

2474
01:29:23,410 --> 01:29:24,490
Yeah, to track people.

2475
01:29:24,770 --> 01:29:28,390
Such as Sanitation's Clean Streets Program that proactively

2476
01:29:28,390 --> 01:29:32,710
improves street cleanliness across 6,500 miles of

2477
01:29:32,710 --> 01:29:33,350
LA streets.

2478
01:29:33,670 --> 01:29:33,870
Wow.

2479
01:29:33,870 --> 01:29:36,630
Or our Data Science Federation, which every semester

2480
01:29:36,630 --> 01:29:40,090
matches university data scientists in training with LA

2481
01:29:40,090 --> 01:29:41,050
urban challenges.

2482
01:29:41,390 --> 01:29:41,670
Oh, yeah.

2483
01:29:41,930 --> 01:29:45,010
Third is smart city digital services, which are

2484
01:29:45,010 --> 01:29:47,590
the apps and websites used to digitally deliver

2485
01:29:47,590 --> 01:29:49,110
city services to the public.

2486
01:29:49,290 --> 01:29:50,910
Hey, give me some service, city.

2487
01:29:51,110 --> 01:29:51,870
I have the app.

2488
01:29:51,990 --> 01:29:55,150
Including the award-winning MyLA311 mobile app.

2489
01:29:55,630 --> 01:29:55,750
Award-winning.

2490
01:29:55,890 --> 01:29:59,490
Providing access to 1,500 city services through

2491
01:29:59,490 --> 01:30:00,110
your smartphone.

2492
01:30:00,690 --> 01:30:02,810
Can you remove this homeless person from my

2493
01:30:02,810 --> 01:30:03,150
stoop?

2494
01:30:03,150 --> 01:30:05,710
Or the ShakeAlert LA app that provides up

2495
01:30:05,710 --> 01:30:08,130
to 45 seconds of advanced warning of a

2496
01:30:08,130 --> 01:30:09,010
coming earthquake.

2497
01:30:09,330 --> 01:30:09,950
You're going to die.

2498
01:30:10,010 --> 01:30:11,210
You have 45 seconds.

2499
01:30:11,370 --> 01:30:12,850
You have 45 seconds.

2500
01:30:13,110 --> 01:30:13,590
This is great.

2501
01:30:14,050 --> 01:30:17,430
Fourth, our smart city connectivity and digital inclusion.

2502
01:30:17,790 --> 01:30:19,790
Ah, smart city digital inclusion.

2503
01:30:20,430 --> 01:30:22,210
This is the work that we do to

2504
01:30:22,210 --> 01:30:24,970
ensure that all LA communities and businesses have

2505
01:30:24,970 --> 01:30:26,030
access to the internet.

2506
01:30:26,450 --> 01:30:29,090
It includes the distribution of over 5,000

2507
01:30:29,090 --> 01:30:31,590
computers by the city of LA to families

2508
01:30:31,590 --> 01:30:33,970
in need through our HourCycle LA program.

2509
01:30:34,130 --> 01:30:34,450
Oh, yeah.

2510
01:30:34,490 --> 01:30:35,550
Here, have an old Dell.

2511
01:30:36,070 --> 01:30:37,790
And finally, is smart city governance.

2512
01:30:38,350 --> 01:30:40,730
This is how we coordinate investments in smart

2513
01:30:40,730 --> 01:30:43,810
city efforts to steal the money across all

2514
01:30:43,810 --> 01:30:45,270
of our 42 city departments.

2515
01:30:45,510 --> 01:30:47,530
In fact, the city of Los Angeles is

2516
01:30:47,530 --> 01:30:50,410
a founding member of the i3 Consortium, along

2517
01:30:50,410 --> 01:30:52,790
with the University of Southern California and 90

2518
01:30:52,790 --> 01:30:55,210
other partners, which has built an open source

2519
01:30:55,210 --> 01:30:57,850
internet of things data aggregator as a smart

2520
01:30:57,850 --> 01:30:59,010
city data marketplace.

2521
01:30:59,010 --> 01:31:01,630
No, that was the there was the buzz

2522
01:31:01,630 --> 01:31:02,590
phrase of the decade.

2523
01:31:05,190 --> 01:31:05,670
Marketplace.

2524
01:31:07,650 --> 01:31:09,230
Whatever they're talking about.

2525
01:31:09,690 --> 01:31:10,210
Internet of things.

2526
01:31:10,310 --> 01:31:11,990
Go back it up and play that if

2527
01:31:11,990 --> 01:31:12,410
you can.

2528
01:31:12,570 --> 01:31:13,010
Yeah, of course.

2529
01:31:13,370 --> 01:31:13,930
Internet of things.

2530
01:31:14,130 --> 01:31:15,490
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

2531
01:31:16,310 --> 01:31:17,090
Hold on.

2532
01:31:17,710 --> 01:31:18,810
Internet of things.

2533
01:31:18,930 --> 01:31:19,750
Here we go.

2534
01:31:19,990 --> 01:31:22,730
Is a founding member of the i3 Consortium,

2535
01:31:22,870 --> 01:31:25,350
along with the University of Southern California and

2536
01:31:25,350 --> 01:31:27,590
90 other partners, which has built an open

2537
01:31:27,590 --> 01:31:30,410
source internet of things data aggregator as a

2538
01:31:30,410 --> 01:31:31,710
smart city data marketplace.

2539
01:31:32,050 --> 01:31:35,650
An open source internet of things data aggregator

2540
01:31:35,650 --> 01:31:37,070
to blah, blah, blah.

2541
01:31:37,830 --> 01:31:38,670
Bull crap.

2542
01:31:39,050 --> 01:31:41,090
Suck up the money and KTLA.

2543
01:31:41,530 --> 01:31:43,450
They know it's all about the money.

2544
01:31:43,770 --> 01:31:45,690
All right, David Lazar shorting it now to

2545
01:31:45,690 --> 01:31:46,710
answer a couple of questions.

2546
01:31:46,810 --> 01:31:49,270
Damage obviously the LA wildfires in the billions.

2547
01:31:49,350 --> 01:31:50,730
I think there are 275.

2548
01:31:50,930 --> 01:31:52,810
That's the highest maybe for the Palisades alone.

2549
01:31:52,970 --> 01:31:53,230
I don't know.

2550
01:31:53,350 --> 01:31:54,010
That's all the fires.

2551
01:31:54,090 --> 01:31:54,230
Yeah.

2552
01:31:54,230 --> 01:31:58,990
OK, so that those are expenses initial, but

2553
01:31:58,990 --> 01:32:00,490
there's gonna be a lot more expenses long

2554
01:32:00,490 --> 01:32:00,730
term.

2555
01:32:01,030 --> 01:32:01,170
Yeah.

2556
01:32:01,270 --> 01:32:03,730
I mean, once we get the fires out

2557
01:32:03,730 --> 01:32:06,130
and people safe, this turns into a money

2558
01:32:06,130 --> 01:32:06,550
story.

2559
01:32:06,750 --> 01:32:09,090
And that story is going to last for

2560
01:32:09,090 --> 01:32:09,830
decades.

2561
01:32:09,830 --> 01:32:12,390
As we've been talking about, the damage estimates

2562
01:32:12,390 --> 01:32:14,510
now top 250 billion dollars.

2563
01:32:14,690 --> 01:32:15,430
And let's face it.

2564
01:32:15,650 --> 01:32:18,350
Insurers are just simply not equipped to handle

2565
01:32:18,350 --> 01:32:20,430
anywhere close to that level of claims.

2566
01:32:20,430 --> 01:32:24,310
Beyond that, there's the cost to utilities for

2567
01:32:24,310 --> 01:32:25,750
restoring infrastructure.

2568
01:32:25,950 --> 01:32:29,050
There's the cost to municipalities for rebuilding schools

2569
01:32:29,050 --> 01:32:31,650
and other public resources and the cost of

2570
01:32:31,650 --> 01:32:34,650
meeting the ongoing needs of thousands and thousands

2571
01:32:34,650 --> 01:32:36,410
of displaced residents.

2572
01:32:36,930 --> 01:32:39,470
And then there's public health experts are already

2573
01:32:39,470 --> 01:32:43,170
warning of increases in asthma, cancer and premature

2574
01:32:43,170 --> 01:32:46,710
births resulting from exposure to wildfire smoke and

2575
01:32:46,710 --> 01:32:47,370
toxins.

2576
01:32:47,370 --> 01:32:50,530
And as if all that wasn't enough, rents

2577
01:32:50,530 --> 01:32:54,870
are projected to continue rising as demand significantly

2578
01:32:54,870 --> 01:32:58,490
outpace outpaces available supply for rental properties.

2579
01:32:58,870 --> 01:33:00,790
All of this adds up to difficulties on

2580
01:33:00,790 --> 01:33:01,650
the economic front.

2581
01:33:02,110 --> 01:33:04,410
Clearly, federal assistance is going to be needed.

2582
01:33:04,750 --> 01:33:07,270
But some politicians are already saying California is

2583
01:33:07,270 --> 01:33:09,670
going to have to make political concessions if

2584
01:33:09,670 --> 01:33:11,150
they want federal aid.

2585
01:33:11,270 --> 01:33:12,950
And that just complicates things.

2586
01:33:13,210 --> 01:33:15,370
Boots on the ground from JL.

2587
01:33:15,370 --> 01:33:18,450
Mr. Curry, I've lived in Southern California for

2588
01:33:18,450 --> 01:33:19,850
57 years.

2589
01:33:20,450 --> 01:33:23,710
I have 29 years experience in disaster response

2590
01:33:23,710 --> 01:33:25,750
with county, state and federal agencies.

2591
01:33:25,950 --> 01:33:28,450
I grew up in Pasadena, the Eaton Fire,

2592
01:33:28,570 --> 01:33:29,070
L.A. County.

2593
01:33:29,570 --> 01:33:31,510
I can tell you you are completely correct

2594
01:33:31,510 --> 01:33:33,530
when you say that disaster is a moneymaker.

2595
01:33:34,130 --> 01:33:36,210
A large fire is a boon to not

2596
01:33:36,210 --> 01:33:39,170
only firefighters, but the myriad of private contractors

2597
01:33:39,170 --> 01:33:42,010
as well as other government workers, hotels who

2598
01:33:42,010 --> 01:33:46,410
put up responders, food service contractors, laundry service

2599
01:33:46,410 --> 01:33:50,650
contractors, aircraft contractors, water tender contractors, generator

2600
01:33:50,650 --> 01:33:54,630
contractors, repair contractors, transportation contractors.

2601
01:33:54,870 --> 01:33:56,570
All the staff comes in the big rigs.

2602
01:33:56,850 --> 01:33:58,530
Lots and lots and lots of money.

2603
01:33:59,090 --> 01:34:00,990
Santa Ana winds are an annual occurrence in

2604
01:34:00,990 --> 01:34:01,730
Southern California.

2605
01:34:01,850 --> 01:34:03,810
They've contributed to a number of large fires

2606
01:34:03,810 --> 01:34:04,470
over the years.

2607
01:34:04,630 --> 01:34:06,850
What is a bit odd about this one

2608
01:34:06,850 --> 01:34:09,570
is the winds presented themselves in January.

2609
01:34:09,570 --> 01:34:12,390
They typically seem to arrive in October-ish,

2610
01:34:12,510 --> 01:34:13,690
but this is not exclusive.

2611
01:34:14,390 --> 01:34:17,270
We've had little rain, so the dry vegetation

2612
01:34:17,270 --> 01:34:18,090
is the problem.

2613
01:34:18,390 --> 01:34:20,390
There's no stopping a fire when it's wind

2614
01:34:20,390 --> 01:34:21,210
-driven in this fashion.

2615
01:34:21,310 --> 01:34:22,650
My hometown has been devastated.

2616
01:34:23,050 --> 01:34:25,650
Fortunately, all of the family property is untouched

2617
01:34:25,650 --> 01:34:27,270
by flames, and we're happy to hear that.

2618
01:34:28,070 --> 01:34:30,090
So it's a big moneymaker, and that's what

2619
01:34:30,090 --> 01:34:31,630
Gavin Newsom is laugh-telling about.

2620
01:34:31,790 --> 01:34:34,190
Heh, heh, heh, money.

2621
01:34:34,870 --> 01:34:36,970
And we were very wrong about the residential

2622
01:34:36,970 --> 01:34:37,750
sprinklers.

2623
01:34:38,250 --> 01:34:39,790
I'm sure you noticed this.

2624
01:34:40,850 --> 01:34:42,290
Well, a lot of people wrote in about

2625
01:34:42,290 --> 01:34:43,930
there are more tanks than we thought.

2626
01:34:44,070 --> 01:34:46,170
No, not the tanks, but about sprinklers in

2627
01:34:46,170 --> 01:34:46,490
homes.

2628
01:34:46,750 --> 01:34:49,890
Since 2011, this has been a requirement in

2629
01:34:49,890 --> 01:34:52,210
California, and many— Yeah, but most of those

2630
01:34:52,210 --> 01:34:54,870
houses in Pacific Palisades weren't built in 2011.

2631
01:34:55,110 --> 01:34:56,230
They were always there.

2632
01:34:56,530 --> 01:34:59,190
So there's plenty of evidence to the contrary.

2633
01:34:59,190 --> 01:35:01,910
I would say we weren't completely right.

2634
01:35:02,010 --> 01:35:03,190
I think we should just take the L

2635
01:35:03,190 --> 01:35:03,810
on this one.

2636
01:35:04,310 --> 01:35:05,510
I'm not going to do that.

2637
01:35:05,590 --> 01:35:06,730
Okay, all right.

2638
01:35:08,010 --> 01:35:09,810
Adamatcurry.com to email John.

2639
01:35:09,970 --> 01:35:10,910
That's what always happens.

2640
01:35:11,610 --> 01:35:13,130
Now, I got a couple of clips here

2641
01:35:13,130 --> 01:35:14,070
that are kind of interesting.

2642
01:35:14,390 --> 01:35:15,830
This is the underreported clip.

2643
01:35:15,910 --> 01:35:17,530
This is the Act Blue clip.

2644
01:35:17,990 --> 01:35:18,970
Oh, yes.

2645
01:35:19,190 --> 01:35:20,210
Yes, this is a good one.

2646
01:35:20,370 --> 01:35:22,510
Well, California Governor Gavin Newsom is trying to

2647
01:35:22,510 --> 01:35:25,610
defend his handling of the state's deadly wildfire

2648
01:35:25,610 --> 01:35:26,050
outbreak.

2649
01:35:26,310 --> 01:35:28,150
Now, we just told you about his latest

2650
01:35:28,150 --> 01:35:32,070
attacks toward President-elect Trump, and now he's

2651
01:35:32,070 --> 01:35:34,850
launching this new website, guys, aimed at combating

2652
01:35:34,850 --> 01:35:38,750
supposed misinformation around his response to the fires.

2653
01:35:39,150 --> 01:35:41,290
There's also an option on the website to

2654
01:35:41,290 --> 01:35:43,230
donate to the California Fire Fund.

2655
01:35:43,930 --> 01:35:44,750
But here's the thing.

2656
01:35:45,210 --> 01:35:47,170
It's not a direct donation.

2657
01:35:47,570 --> 01:35:49,890
Even though there are ways to donate directly

2658
01:35:49,890 --> 01:35:53,050
to the fund, instead here, the governor is

2659
01:35:53,050 --> 01:35:57,630
accepting donations through the Democratic Fundraising Platform Act

2660
01:35:57,630 --> 01:36:00,770
Blue, which, side note, guys, takes nearly 4

2661
01:36:00,770 --> 01:36:02,490
% in processing fees.

2662
01:36:02,490 --> 01:36:04,990
And he's not the only Democrat doing this.

2663
01:36:05,370 --> 01:36:08,150
Your favorite Senator Elizabeth Warren urged her followers

2664
01:36:08,150 --> 01:36:09,790
to use her Act Blue link.

2665
01:36:10,310 --> 01:36:11,690
So did the hosts over at the progressive

2666
01:36:11,690 --> 01:36:13,650
podcast, Pod Save America.

2667
01:36:14,290 --> 01:36:15,930
And Jason, I wanna ask you about this.

2668
01:36:16,050 --> 01:36:17,030
I ask this neutrally.

2669
01:36:17,210 --> 01:36:19,390
Is it standard protocol to have sort of

2670
01:36:19,390 --> 01:36:24,310
fundraising for disaster relief occur through Democratic super

2671
01:36:24,310 --> 01:36:25,630
PAC organizations?

2672
01:36:25,950 --> 01:36:27,650
I have never heard or seen of that

2673
01:36:27,650 --> 01:36:28,490
before.

2674
01:36:28,490 --> 01:36:31,990
And it is a Democratic-run organization, and

2675
01:36:31,990 --> 01:36:34,390
they do get a financial benefit for every

2676
01:36:34,390 --> 01:36:35,390
dollar that goes through it.

2677
01:36:35,730 --> 01:36:36,930
Think of all the ones they could have

2678
01:36:36,930 --> 01:36:37,590
donated to.

2679
01:36:37,710 --> 01:36:39,730
Everything from the Red Cross to, I mean,

2680
01:36:39,810 --> 01:36:40,470
you name it.

2681
01:36:40,790 --> 01:36:42,970
They could have gone directly to helping people.

2682
01:36:43,110 --> 01:36:45,250
But no, they're crass enough to put it

2683
01:36:45,250 --> 01:36:48,050
through a Democratic-run organization called Act Blue.

2684
01:36:48,390 --> 01:36:49,090
Crass indeed.

2685
01:36:49,270 --> 01:36:50,290
And Kayleigh, that's the point.

2686
01:36:50,690 --> 01:36:53,010
Just to hammer home, you can always donate

2687
01:36:53,010 --> 01:36:54,550
directly to this fire fund.

2688
01:36:54,550 --> 01:36:57,390
And instead of just linking directly, the governor

2689
01:36:57,390 --> 01:37:01,170
put it through his super PAC political activist

2690
01:37:01,170 --> 01:37:02,690
Democratic Party site.

2691
01:37:03,030 --> 01:37:03,990
Yeah, it's a horrible look.

2692
01:37:05,470 --> 01:37:08,830
So the real kicker here is not even

2693
01:37:08,830 --> 01:37:10,390
the 4% that they're stealing.

2694
01:37:10,590 --> 01:37:11,410
It's through his PAC.

2695
01:37:12,550 --> 01:37:15,790
It's the fact that they're collecting the email

2696
01:37:15,790 --> 01:37:18,750
addresses, the addresses, the demographics, whatever they can

2697
01:37:18,750 --> 01:37:19,090
get.

2698
01:37:19,390 --> 01:37:20,990
This is a mailing list scam.

2699
01:37:21,190 --> 01:37:22,490
They're the TikTok of politics.

2700
01:37:24,550 --> 01:37:25,350
It's horrible.

2701
01:37:25,990 --> 01:37:26,910
It's horrible.

2702
01:37:27,550 --> 01:37:29,210
That is horrible, and it's not being covered

2703
01:37:29,210 --> 01:37:29,710
well.

2704
01:37:30,010 --> 01:37:30,790
These are mainstreams.

2705
01:37:30,850 --> 01:37:31,790
You're not talking about it.

2706
01:37:32,190 --> 01:37:33,210
I have two more clips.

2707
01:37:33,790 --> 01:37:35,650
First is the LA Times report.

2708
01:37:35,810 --> 01:37:37,270
The LA Times seems to be at least

2709
01:37:37,270 --> 01:37:40,170
doing some work on this fire.

2710
01:37:40,590 --> 01:37:41,870
Fire LA Times.

2711
01:37:43,730 --> 01:37:44,810
Yes, got it.

2712
01:37:45,230 --> 01:37:48,190
New reporting from the Los Angeles Times is

2713
01:37:48,190 --> 01:37:51,890
calling into question how prepared LA County was

2714
01:37:51,890 --> 01:37:54,830
in advance of the deadly wildfires that are

2715
01:37:54,830 --> 01:37:56,350
raging across the region.

2716
01:37:56,950 --> 01:38:00,330
As NPR's Liz Baker reports, city officials claim

2717
01:38:00,330 --> 01:38:03,550
that resources were pre-positioned in high-risk

2718
01:38:03,550 --> 01:38:07,370
areas ahead of the powerful winds that continue

2719
01:38:07,370 --> 01:38:08,730
to fuel the blazes.

2720
01:38:09,130 --> 01:38:11,390
The LA Times alleges that last Tuesday night,

2721
01:38:11,550 --> 01:38:13,590
as hurricane-force gusts sent flames and embers

2722
01:38:13,590 --> 01:38:16,610
towards residential neighborhoods, the LA Fire Department only

2723
01:38:16,610 --> 01:38:19,590
deployed five out of 40 available engines, and

2724
01:38:19,590 --> 01:38:21,950
roughly 1,000 off-duty firefighters were only

2725
01:38:21,950 --> 01:38:24,090
called in after the firestorm had already gotten

2726
01:38:24,090 --> 01:38:24,850
out of control.

2727
01:38:25,370 --> 01:38:27,490
In a press conference, LA Fire Department Chief

2728
01:38:27,490 --> 01:38:28,810
Kristen Crowley responded.

2729
01:38:28,990 --> 01:38:29,950
We follow a system.

2730
01:38:30,430 --> 01:38:31,310
We did that.

2731
01:38:31,850 --> 01:38:35,250
We pre-deployed the necessary resources, knowing that,

2732
01:38:35,470 --> 01:38:37,230
or not knowing, I should be very specific,

2733
01:38:37,390 --> 01:38:40,030
in where a fire might break out in

2734
01:38:40,030 --> 01:38:40,450
the city.

2735
01:38:40,590 --> 01:38:42,690
When pushed for comment, LA Mayor Karen Bass

2736
01:38:42,690 --> 01:38:45,110
said, The buck always stops with me, but

2737
01:38:45,110 --> 01:38:46,490
refused to elaborate further.

2738
01:38:47,270 --> 01:38:49,730
Did you see the owner of the Los

2739
01:38:49,730 --> 01:38:50,470
Angeles Times?

2740
01:38:52,190 --> 01:38:53,130
What about him?

2741
01:38:53,430 --> 01:38:55,570
What is his name, Asian dude?

2742
01:38:56,250 --> 01:38:57,830
Yeah, Chong Chong something.

2743
01:38:58,530 --> 01:39:01,570
Well, first of all, we'll accept some blame,

2744
01:39:01,790 --> 01:39:01,990
right?

2745
01:39:02,110 --> 01:39:04,730
So at the LA Times, we endorsed Karen

2746
01:39:04,730 --> 01:39:05,110
Bass.

2747
01:39:05,990 --> 01:39:07,830
I think right now in front, that's a

2748
01:39:07,830 --> 01:39:09,650
mistake, and we admit that.

2749
01:39:10,290 --> 01:39:14,390
So I thought it was really important early

2750
01:39:14,390 --> 01:39:17,070
on for me to come out, and I

2751
01:39:17,070 --> 01:39:18,370
think we were one of the few to

2752
01:39:18,370 --> 01:39:19,630
say competence matters.

2753
01:39:20,110 --> 01:39:22,350
By the way, this guy has the oddest

2754
01:39:22,350 --> 01:39:24,530
head in the world.

2755
01:39:24,750 --> 01:39:28,630
His head is like Stewie's head.

2756
01:39:29,430 --> 01:39:30,850
It's a funny-shaped head.

2757
01:39:30,950 --> 01:39:32,670
Yes, a very funny-shaped head.

2758
01:39:32,790 --> 01:39:33,230
I'm good like that.

2759
01:39:33,230 --> 01:39:34,470
Guy's extremely bright.

2760
01:39:34,650 --> 01:39:34,990
Oh, yeah.

2761
01:39:35,090 --> 01:39:35,950
Between the two of us.

2762
01:39:35,950 --> 01:39:38,570
He bought the paper, and he was run

2763
01:39:38,570 --> 01:39:43,270
over, essentially run over by the staff of

2764
01:39:43,270 --> 01:39:43,910
lefties.

2765
01:39:44,150 --> 01:39:44,250
Yep.

2766
01:39:44,470 --> 01:39:46,550
And he backed off.

2767
01:39:46,690 --> 01:39:49,810
And now he's doing what the Washington Post

2768
01:39:49,810 --> 01:39:50,130
didn't say.

2769
01:39:50,250 --> 01:39:51,090
No, you can't do this.

2770
01:39:51,110 --> 01:39:51,710
You can't do that.

2771
01:39:51,790 --> 01:39:52,750
No, we quit.

2772
01:39:53,070 --> 01:39:53,250
Yeah.

2773
01:39:53,350 --> 01:39:56,130
And so these reporters have to think twice

2774
01:39:56,130 --> 01:39:57,410
about quitting in this market.

2775
01:39:57,530 --> 01:39:59,110
But okay, go ahead and go to the

2776
01:39:59,110 --> 01:39:59,450
podcast.

2777
01:40:00,310 --> 01:40:02,130
Well, I'm glad you brought that up.

2778
01:40:02,130 --> 01:40:05,270
So I will stop the LA Times owner

2779
01:40:05,270 --> 01:40:07,390
clip, and I will go to the latest

2780
01:40:07,390 --> 01:40:11,210
venture, which includes a refugee from WAPO.

2781
01:40:12,010 --> 01:40:15,410
I'm sure all of your Lib Joe friends

2782
01:40:15,410 --> 01:40:16,350
are talking about it.

2783
01:40:16,510 --> 01:40:18,970
Not talking to you about it, but this

2784
01:40:18,970 --> 01:40:19,870
is so brave.

2785
01:40:20,390 --> 01:40:22,210
This is just so good.

2786
01:40:22,570 --> 01:40:22,930
So brave.

2787
01:40:22,930 --> 01:40:26,530
So brave of Jen Rubin, who is in

2788
01:40:26,530 --> 01:40:29,550
this video with her glasses askew on her

2789
01:40:29,550 --> 01:40:29,930
head.

2790
01:40:30,790 --> 01:40:31,490
I kid you not.

2791
01:40:31,490 --> 01:40:35,190
You know how they're not level?

2792
01:40:37,110 --> 01:40:37,430
Right.

2793
01:40:37,950 --> 01:40:39,830
She also has a portrait of herself behind

2794
01:40:39,830 --> 01:40:41,750
herself when she's doing this little presentation.

2795
01:40:42,190 --> 01:40:43,130
This is fantastic.

2796
01:40:43,590 --> 01:40:46,510
This is the textbook example of a failure

2797
01:40:46,510 --> 01:40:48,310
from the get-go.

2798
01:40:48,470 --> 01:40:49,630
Hi, I'm Jen Rubin.

2799
01:40:49,790 --> 01:40:50,710
And I'm Norm Eisen.

2800
01:40:51,090 --> 01:40:53,030
I am here to announce I am leaving

2801
01:40:53,030 --> 01:40:55,830
the Washington Post in order to co-found

2802
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:59,750
with Norm an exciting new online platform, The

2803
01:40:59,750 --> 01:41:00,630
Contrarian.

2804
01:41:00,630 --> 01:41:02,870
We are going to bring you written material,

2805
01:41:03,190 --> 01:41:07,730
podcasts, interviews, social media, all in defense of

2806
01:41:07,730 --> 01:41:08,310
democracy.

2807
01:41:08,870 --> 01:41:12,310
Our intent is to combat the authoritarian force

2808
01:41:12,310 --> 01:41:13,470
that we all face.

2809
01:41:14,350 --> 01:41:16,850
To help us, we have an exciting array

2810
01:41:16,850 --> 01:41:19,710
of contributors from all walks of life, all

2811
01:41:19,710 --> 01:41:22,530
ages, all backgrounds to help us in this

2812
01:41:22,530 --> 01:41:22,850
venture.

2813
01:41:22,970 --> 01:41:23,470
But wait, there's more.

2814
01:41:23,670 --> 01:41:24,650
We're going to do politics.

2815
01:41:25,030 --> 01:41:26,010
We're going to do law.

2816
01:41:26,010 --> 01:41:29,170
But we know that any successful pro-democracy

2817
01:41:29,170 --> 01:41:33,690
movement also has to be very vocal about

2818
01:41:33,690 --> 01:41:34,230
culture.

2819
01:41:34,350 --> 01:41:35,890
We'll have a humor column.

2820
01:41:36,170 --> 01:41:38,670
We'll even have a cooking column.

2821
01:41:38,950 --> 01:41:41,130
But we're going to sprinkle in a little

2822
01:41:41,130 --> 01:41:44,030
bit of pro-democracy flavor.

2823
01:41:44,330 --> 01:41:45,990
And we're going to have pets.

2824
01:41:46,190 --> 01:41:47,230
We're very pro-pets.

2825
01:41:47,430 --> 01:41:50,710
So please join us in this journey.

2826
01:41:50,910 --> 01:41:52,670
We cannot do this without you.

2827
01:41:52,670 --> 01:41:56,190
We want your contributions, your input, your ideas.

2828
01:41:56,790 --> 01:41:59,610
Thank you for joining The Contrarian.

2829
01:42:02,710 --> 01:42:05,630
She's going to be the left-wing Joe

2830
01:42:05,630 --> 01:42:06,670
Rogan, I tell you.

2831
01:42:07,570 --> 01:42:08,890
Jen Rubin for the win.

2832
01:42:10,230 --> 01:42:11,190
It's unbelievable.

2833
01:42:12,270 --> 01:42:14,150
Well, you mentioned Karen Bass.

2834
01:42:14,210 --> 01:42:15,430
I do want to play this Karen Bass

2835
01:42:15,430 --> 01:42:18,550
clip because this little tidbit that should be

2836
01:42:18,550 --> 01:42:18,810
known.

2837
01:42:18,930 --> 01:42:20,170
This is Karen Bass in Cuba.

2838
01:42:20,690 --> 01:42:21,810
You know, listen, a lot of people have

2839
01:42:21,810 --> 01:42:23,250
been talking about, you know, who's to blame,

2840
01:42:23,390 --> 01:42:24,830
you know, whether it's Gavin Newsom or the

2841
01:42:24,830 --> 01:42:25,030
mayor.

2842
01:42:25,170 --> 01:42:27,050
A lot of people don't realize that Karen

2843
01:42:27,050 --> 01:42:28,890
Bass is actually at, you know, we talk

2844
01:42:28,890 --> 01:42:30,770
about these left-wing policies.

2845
01:42:31,410 --> 01:42:33,270
She has ties to communism.

2846
01:42:33,570 --> 01:42:35,450
She was cutting sugarcane in Cuba.

2847
01:42:36,270 --> 01:42:38,570
She's had 15 trips to Cuba, met with

2848
01:42:38,570 --> 01:42:39,610
Fidel Castro.

2849
01:42:40,270 --> 01:42:42,190
She is a solid communist.

2850
01:42:42,210 --> 01:42:45,810
So don't be surprised that your policies make

2851
01:42:45,810 --> 01:42:48,610
your city look like this.

2852
01:42:48,610 --> 01:42:51,230
When you put a communist, somebody, a communist

2853
01:42:51,230 --> 01:42:53,850
and a communist sympathizer at the top of

2854
01:42:53,850 --> 01:42:56,710
your, of the heap as the mayor of

2855
01:42:56,710 --> 01:42:58,990
Los Angeles, it's not surprising.

2856
01:42:59,830 --> 01:43:00,970
They manage things.

2857
01:43:01,530 --> 01:43:02,870
Look at how Cuba's managed.

2858
01:43:03,010 --> 01:43:03,790
And now look at this.

2859
01:43:03,910 --> 01:43:05,410
Oh, okay, Fox.

2860
01:43:05,710 --> 01:43:06,110
Okay.

2861
01:43:07,130 --> 01:43:08,050
Sugarcane Karen.

2862
01:43:08,330 --> 01:43:08,810
There it is.

2863
01:43:08,950 --> 01:43:09,870
Sugarcane Karen.

2864
01:43:10,530 --> 01:43:11,370
Oh, I like it.

2865
01:43:11,430 --> 01:43:12,930
You're coming up with good gems.

2866
01:43:13,170 --> 01:43:14,390
I'm on fire today.

2867
01:43:14,430 --> 01:43:16,230
Not as good as bondage, but you're getting

2868
01:43:16,230 --> 01:43:16,470
there.

2869
01:43:16,470 --> 01:43:19,810
Now, I'm, I'm a little upset just looking

2870
01:43:19,810 --> 01:43:20,690
at your clip list.

2871
01:43:21,430 --> 01:43:24,370
If you sent me an email and you

2872
01:43:24,370 --> 01:43:25,970
made a big stink about it in the

2873
01:43:25,970 --> 01:43:29,050
newsletter, where's your who killed JFK material?

2874
01:43:29,810 --> 01:43:30,850
I have two clips.

2875
01:43:30,990 --> 01:43:31,410
Oh, good.

2876
01:43:31,550 --> 01:43:32,650
I knew you had it.

2877
01:43:32,810 --> 01:43:35,830
Because, and I, and I want to lead

2878
01:43:35,830 --> 01:43:38,770
into this because Alex Jones about the LA

2879
01:43:38,770 --> 01:43:41,490
fire, he's saying we have to stop saying

2880
01:43:41,490 --> 01:43:42,430
it's incompetence.

2881
01:43:42,510 --> 01:43:44,670
He has to say it's criminal negligence.

2882
01:43:44,750 --> 01:43:45,670
This is the globalists.

2883
01:43:45,670 --> 01:43:47,590
This was the plan all along.

2884
01:43:47,910 --> 01:43:49,990
They want to build LA into a smart

2885
01:43:49,990 --> 01:43:50,290
city.

2886
01:43:50,390 --> 01:43:51,610
I think he has some points.

2887
01:43:52,830 --> 01:43:54,530
I think he always has points.

2888
01:43:54,610 --> 01:43:55,530
He's got good points.

2889
01:43:55,850 --> 01:44:00,530
It's just that overall, there's something sketchy about

2890
01:44:00,530 --> 01:44:01,490
Alex Jones.

2891
01:44:01,850 --> 01:44:04,190
And I think this, but then he, well,

2892
01:44:04,210 --> 01:44:06,190
he comes out with this, with this video,

2893
01:44:06,350 --> 01:44:08,970
which when I saw it, I'm like, isn't

2894
01:44:08,970 --> 01:44:10,910
this just promotion for a book that came

2895
01:44:10,910 --> 01:44:11,210
out?

2896
01:44:12,830 --> 01:44:14,270
I'm not sure what it was.

2897
01:44:14,270 --> 01:44:18,450
Roger Stone had a book already that developed

2898
01:44:18,450 --> 01:44:20,530
most of these, this material, which was the

2899
01:44:20,530 --> 01:44:25,710
idea that LBJ killed Kennedy by sending this

2900
01:44:25,710 --> 01:44:26,330
one guy.

2901
01:44:26,370 --> 01:44:28,530
And there's a link in the newsletter to

2902
01:44:28,530 --> 01:44:31,150
this guy's wiki page, Malcolm something.

2903
01:44:32,790 --> 01:44:33,890
Mack, what's his name?

2904
01:44:33,890 --> 01:44:35,010
Mack, Mack something.

2905
01:44:35,210 --> 01:44:35,630
Mack.

2906
01:44:35,830 --> 01:44:36,510
Come on, man.

2907
01:44:36,590 --> 01:44:37,790
You're the one that sent it.

2908
01:44:37,930 --> 01:44:39,070
This is your beat.

2909
01:44:40,290 --> 01:44:40,790
Mack Wallace.

2910
01:44:41,810 --> 01:44:42,610
Yeah, Mack Wallace.

2911
01:44:42,610 --> 01:44:44,110
You can look him up on Wikipedia and

2912
01:44:44,110 --> 01:44:44,810
he's sketchy.

2913
01:44:44,930 --> 01:44:46,430
And he got, he got away with murder

2914
01:44:46,430 --> 01:44:47,410
very early on.

2915
01:44:47,470 --> 01:44:50,810
And one of Lyndon Johnson's lawyers got him

2916
01:44:50,810 --> 01:44:53,130
off of a murder rap where he was

2917
01:44:53,130 --> 01:44:54,830
found guilty of murder.

2918
01:44:55,210 --> 01:44:58,090
And he gets a suspended sentence for some

2919
01:44:58,090 --> 01:44:58,690
unknown reason.

2920
01:44:58,750 --> 01:44:59,890
This is Texas politics.

2921
01:45:00,090 --> 01:45:02,310
Texas is at its best, is more corrupt

2922
01:45:02,310 --> 01:45:02,910
than any place.

2923
01:45:02,930 --> 01:45:03,470
We're great.

2924
01:45:03,770 --> 01:45:05,570
Number one, foam finger number one.

2925
01:45:05,950 --> 01:45:08,890
And so Lyndon Johnson then had the guy

2926
01:45:08,890 --> 01:45:10,750
by the nuts and said, you know, you're

2927
01:45:10,750 --> 01:45:11,530
going to have to, you know, you got

2928
01:45:11,530 --> 01:45:12,530
to kill Kennedy.

2929
01:45:13,190 --> 01:45:14,930
Well, he killed a bunch of people, this

2930
01:45:14,930 --> 01:45:15,250
guy.

2931
01:45:15,370 --> 01:45:15,610
Yeah.

2932
01:45:15,970 --> 01:45:17,850
Besides just Kennedy, supposedly.

2933
01:45:18,090 --> 01:45:19,910
And I still don't buy the Kennedy thing.

2934
01:45:20,010 --> 01:45:22,670
And I think this whole tape that Jones

2935
01:45:22,670 --> 01:45:25,350
played was, and Jones made a point, it's

2936
01:45:25,350 --> 01:45:26,690
not AI, he says.

2937
01:45:26,770 --> 01:45:30,250
Well, this is, it is, I think, AI,

2938
01:45:30,490 --> 01:45:31,570
but it's beside the point.

2939
01:45:31,670 --> 01:45:33,650
This clip is dubious because when you're talking

2940
01:45:33,650 --> 01:45:35,650
to somebody, like, if you call me on

2941
01:45:35,650 --> 01:45:38,370
the phone, or if you're in person in

2942
01:45:38,370 --> 01:45:40,810
particular, do you say, well, John, what do

2943
01:45:40,810 --> 01:45:42,110
you think about that, John?

2944
01:45:42,350 --> 01:45:43,950
You hate it when people do that.

2945
01:45:44,370 --> 01:45:45,330
Nobody does it.

2946
01:45:46,490 --> 01:45:46,950
Do you?

2947
01:45:48,190 --> 01:45:49,090
Do you, Adam?

2948
01:45:49,190 --> 01:45:50,650
Adam, do you do that, Adam?

2949
01:45:50,930 --> 01:45:53,930
Well, John, from time to time, I have

2950
01:45:53,930 --> 01:45:54,830
been known to do this.

2951
01:45:54,970 --> 01:45:56,750
But it's really to accentuate a point.

2952
01:45:56,830 --> 01:45:58,470
Like, if you killed somebody, I'd say, well,

2953
01:45:58,530 --> 01:46:00,970
John, you know, you got that guy to

2954
01:46:00,970 --> 01:46:01,330
kill him.

2955
01:46:02,210 --> 01:46:03,830
Yes, that's what I make sure.

2956
01:46:03,970 --> 01:46:04,110
Yeah.

2957
01:46:04,110 --> 01:46:07,550
So I have the basic clip that Jones

2958
01:46:07,550 --> 01:46:09,970
played, which is the Estes basic clip, and

2959
01:46:09,970 --> 01:46:13,490
then I ran it through Adobe to clean

2960
01:46:13,490 --> 01:46:13,910
it up.

2961
01:46:14,210 --> 01:46:15,650
And when you try, you can't clean it

2962
01:46:15,650 --> 01:46:15,810
up.

2963
01:46:15,870 --> 01:46:18,030
But what you can understand when you play

2964
01:46:18,030 --> 01:46:19,950
it through Adobe is that it kind of

2965
01:46:19,950 --> 01:46:21,670
screws it up in some parts, and then

2966
01:46:21,670 --> 01:46:23,250
the other part gets really normal.

2967
01:46:23,750 --> 01:46:25,530
And the background noise is always the same.

2968
01:46:25,530 --> 01:46:28,490
Oh, you've done deep forensic analysis, I can

2969
01:46:28,490 --> 01:46:28,670
see.

2970
01:46:28,730 --> 01:46:29,950
I did some.

2971
01:46:30,510 --> 01:46:31,570
I don't know how deep it is.

2972
01:46:31,570 --> 01:46:32,470
With Adobe.

2973
01:46:34,110 --> 01:46:36,330
But I'm telling you, it shows me that

2974
01:46:36,330 --> 01:46:38,810
this clip is fake.

2975
01:46:39,430 --> 01:46:40,830
But let's listen to it.

2976
01:46:40,910 --> 01:46:42,070
If you can understand it.

2977
01:46:42,130 --> 01:46:43,170
If you don't want to play the whole

2978
01:46:43,170 --> 01:46:44,810
thing, because it's unintelligible.

2979
01:46:46,030 --> 01:46:48,070
Well, it's one of those that you really

2980
01:46:48,070 --> 01:46:50,970
need the captions on the screen.

2981
01:46:51,150 --> 01:46:54,230
Billy Saul Estes talking to this Cliff guy

2982
01:46:54,230 --> 01:46:57,770
who was the chief of staff for Lyndon

2983
01:46:57,770 --> 01:46:58,270
Johnson.

2984
01:46:58,270 --> 01:47:00,070
And the two of them are talking about

2985
01:47:00,070 --> 01:47:04,710
how they're disappointed in Lyndon for killing Kennedy.

2986
01:47:10,990 --> 01:47:24,320
Okay, it's

2987
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:24,860
unintelligible.

2988
01:47:25,140 --> 01:47:28,880
So let's go to your forensic experiment where

2989
01:47:28,880 --> 01:47:29,880
you've cleaned it up.

2990
01:47:30,340 --> 01:47:33,600
Now, listen to the how bad the fake

2991
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:35,440
part and then listen to when it cleans

2992
01:47:35,440 --> 01:47:37,160
itself up, and then it goes back to

2993
01:47:37,160 --> 01:47:37,700
being crummy.

2994
01:47:37,900 --> 01:47:38,820
Now, listen, just listen.

2995
01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:39,540
You have to listen.

2996
01:47:39,700 --> 01:47:40,980
I'll tell you when to stop it.

2997
01:47:41,300 --> 01:47:43,160
You're going to be half right to eat

2998
01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:43,760
a day.

2999
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:46,840
Well, it's been pretty tactical situation.

3000
01:47:48,880 --> 01:47:52,400
But a few unpleasant words here likely.

3001
01:47:53,300 --> 01:47:54,680
It sounds like Bill Clinton.

3002
01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:56,520
I think Bill Clinton killed Kennedy.

3003
01:47:57,280 --> 01:47:58,360
That's what it sounds like.

3004
01:47:58,360 --> 01:48:02,820
So he hired Mark Walsh to assassinate the

3005
01:48:02,820 --> 01:48:03,100
president.

3006
01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:07,620
It's been acting their way.

3007
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:12,380
But we lived through this far.

3008
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:15,020
I guess we'll continue to do so.

3009
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:20,920
Lyndon should have never issued that order to

3010
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:21,380
Mike.

3011
01:48:22,740 --> 01:48:24,460
We've had our differences.

3012
01:48:24,940 --> 01:48:27,880
It's interesting how some of it's really good.

3013
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:30,000
And then all of a sudden it goes

3014
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:32,920
right into being legible, which is what Adobe

3015
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:33,340
is supposed to.

3016
01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:36,280
I think this has been doctored.

3017
01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:37,320
It's been doctored.

3018
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:40,880
And now the story behind this tape, which

3019
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:44,060
is that this guy is Billy Saul Estes,

3020
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:45,800
who is a very famous people can look

3021
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:46,120
him up.

3022
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:47,840
I mean, it's a past history, but it

3023
01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:50,460
was a corrupt guy, but it just seemingly

3024
01:48:50,460 --> 01:48:52,420
a great family, blah, blah, blah.

3025
01:48:52,420 --> 01:48:55,200
But he's handed this down and it got

3026
01:48:55,200 --> 01:48:57,140
handed down to, I guess, the grandson who

3027
01:48:57,140 --> 01:48:59,980
was told that he'll know when to release

3028
01:48:59,980 --> 01:49:00,600
it.

3029
01:49:00,980 --> 01:49:03,260
And so I'm going to do it on

3030
01:49:03,260 --> 01:49:04,380
Alex Jones show.

3031
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:05,660
So he's going to.

3032
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:06,920
So he releases it.

3033
01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:10,840
Curiously, just before we know two things.

3034
01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:14,860
One, we know that supposedly Trump has promised

3035
01:49:14,860 --> 01:49:17,720
to release the Kennedy stuff, the Kennedy information.

3036
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:19,720
The timing is questionable.

3037
01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:25,460
And so this throws shade on Lyndon Johnson

3038
01:49:25,460 --> 01:49:28,440
and this is what is a story that

3039
01:49:28,440 --> 01:49:29,480
makes some sense.

3040
01:49:29,820 --> 01:49:33,560
And it takes the pressure off the CIA,

3041
01:49:34,340 --> 01:49:36,660
the CIA, even though I don't think the

3042
01:49:36,660 --> 01:49:39,440
CIA killed Kennedy, I don't think they do

3043
01:49:39,440 --> 01:49:41,060
that to American politicians.

3044
01:49:41,060 --> 01:49:43,580
But I think the mob did, which is

3045
01:49:43,580 --> 01:49:45,220
we've talked about this on the show a

3046
01:49:45,220 --> 01:49:47,760
million times, but the CIA may have known

3047
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:49,180
about it or they did something.

3048
01:49:49,180 --> 01:49:50,420
They didn't stop him.

3049
01:49:50,580 --> 01:49:51,460
They couldn't stop him.

3050
01:49:51,520 --> 01:49:51,860
They tried.

3051
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:52,220
Maybe.

3052
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:52,760
Who knows?

3053
01:49:52,940 --> 01:49:54,400
The CIA has got some involvement.

3054
01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:59,720
But this is a distraction to throw off

3055
01:49:59,720 --> 01:50:02,000
what's going to happen because I have to

3056
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:04,460
assume the CIA could have produced this.

3057
01:50:05,480 --> 01:50:08,000
They could also have been in the process

3058
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:09,760
over the last, I don't know how many

3059
01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:13,100
months, producing fake documents to release.

3060
01:50:13,620 --> 01:50:15,260
I think the whole thing's going to come

3061
01:50:15,260 --> 01:50:17,440
out and they're going to throw the blame

3062
01:50:17,440 --> 01:50:18,640
on Lyndon Johnson.

3063
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:19,920
This is bullcrap.

3064
01:50:20,260 --> 01:50:21,200
It's a op.

3065
01:50:21,480 --> 01:50:24,120
This is an op and Jones is part

3066
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:24,700
of it.

3067
01:50:26,100 --> 01:50:28,960
Who needs QAnon when you've got John C.

3068
01:50:29,260 --> 01:50:29,740
Dvorak?

3069
01:50:30,060 --> 01:50:31,340
This is excellent.

3070
01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:32,640
I appreciate that.

3071
01:50:32,700 --> 01:50:34,380
And with that, I will say in the

3072
01:50:34,380 --> 01:50:36,020
morning to you, the man who put the

3073
01:50:36,020 --> 01:50:38,360
C in sugarcane Karen, say hello to my

3074
01:50:38,360 --> 01:50:39,600
friend on the other end, the one, the

3075
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:41,500
only Mr. John C.

3076
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:42,640
Dvorak.

3077
01:50:44,260 --> 01:50:47,060
Hey, in the morning, I'm creating more ships,

3078
01:50:47,140 --> 01:50:48,400
sea boats, and raffia in the air, subs

3079
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:50,080
in the water, dames and knights out there.

3080
01:50:50,140 --> 01:50:51,300
In the morning to the trolls in the

3081
01:50:51,300 --> 01:50:51,740
troll room.

3082
01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:59,140
What are we supposed to have on Thursdays?

3083
01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:00,120
18.

3084
01:51:01,060 --> 01:51:02,060
1978, baby.

3085
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:05,480
We're blowing it out of the water with

3086
01:51:05,480 --> 01:51:05,900
the trolls.

3087
01:51:06,060 --> 01:51:06,360
Hello.

3088
01:51:07,420 --> 01:51:09,720
That's when Bordeaux and I started becoming good

3089
01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:10,000
again.

3090
01:51:10,140 --> 01:51:10,680
I like it.

3091
01:51:10,780 --> 01:51:12,100
It's good to have you here, trolls.

3092
01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:14,380
Very good to have you checking in trollroom

3093
01:51:14,380 --> 01:51:17,780
.io or noagenda.stream. And of course, the

3094
01:51:17,780 --> 01:51:18,880
modern podcast apps.

3095
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:21,520
You want to grab one of those, you

3096
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:24,900
want to grab them before everything's taken off

3097
01:51:24,900 --> 01:51:25,520
the app store.

3098
01:51:26,220 --> 01:51:29,200
You know that if you if you stop

3099
01:51:29,200 --> 01:51:32,460
your subscription with audible, your your audio books

3100
01:51:32,460 --> 01:51:33,000
go away.

3101
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:35,080
You can't play them.

3102
01:51:35,820 --> 01:51:36,500
This happened to you?

3103
01:51:36,780 --> 01:51:37,940
Yes, it's a big scam.

3104
01:51:38,780 --> 01:51:39,800
It is a scam.

3105
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:42,380
The way it works is it's not like

3106
01:51:42,380 --> 01:51:44,260
you're a member of audible and you can

3107
01:51:44,260 --> 01:51:44,480
buy a book.

3108
01:51:44,480 --> 01:51:45,540
You don't have a copy of the book?

3109
01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:47,040
You didn't back up a copy?

3110
01:51:47,460 --> 01:51:48,040
Silly me.

3111
01:51:48,140 --> 01:51:49,780
I just paid the subscription and it all

3112
01:51:49,780 --> 01:51:50,600
came back to life.

3113
01:51:52,220 --> 01:51:54,080
The way they do it, though, the scam

3114
01:51:54,080 --> 01:51:56,300
is you get credits.

3115
01:51:56,840 --> 01:51:57,200
Credits.

3116
01:51:57,320 --> 01:51:58,440
Give me some credit, man.

3117
01:51:58,540 --> 01:52:00,220
They give you credits every month.

3118
01:52:00,340 --> 01:52:01,160
And those are for books.

3119
01:52:01,220 --> 01:52:02,740
So you're paying for books that you haven't

3120
01:52:02,740 --> 01:52:03,100
bought.

3121
01:52:04,380 --> 01:52:05,980
And so Tina's like, hey, can I?

3122
01:52:06,060 --> 01:52:06,220
I'm sorry?

3123
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:07,040
Yes.

3124
01:52:07,660 --> 01:52:10,320
So you're buying books every month, whether you

3125
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:12,960
use that, will you use your credits or

3126
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:13,360
not?

3127
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:15,760
So I look, I have 12 credits.

3128
01:52:16,540 --> 01:52:17,660
For 12 books?

3129
01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:18,100
Yes.

3130
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:21,340
I can download 12 more books, but I

3131
01:52:21,340 --> 01:52:21,960
have to keep paying.

3132
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:24,060
It's like it's like a library that has

3133
01:52:24,060 --> 01:52:25,460
you chained your shackles.

3134
01:52:28,340 --> 01:52:28,680
Huh?

3135
01:52:29,040 --> 01:52:29,300
Yeah.

3136
01:52:30,060 --> 01:52:31,140
Silicon Valley.

3137
01:52:32,180 --> 01:52:33,280
That's no good.

3138
01:52:34,920 --> 01:52:37,280
So anyway, get one of those modern podcast

3139
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:40,600
apps, because your podcast will not go away.

3140
01:52:41,440 --> 01:52:43,660
Not this podcast, not the best podcast in

3141
01:52:43,660 --> 01:52:45,200
the universe or any other podcast.

3142
01:52:45,920 --> 01:52:48,460
Unless it's removed at the source, but it

3143
01:52:48,460 --> 01:52:49,120
won't go away.

3144
01:52:49,140 --> 01:52:51,500
Like things have been known to disappear from

3145
01:52:51,500 --> 01:52:52,360
Spotify.

3146
01:52:52,620 --> 01:52:56,320
And if you listen to podcasts with ads

3147
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:59,000
on Spotify, they're not, you can't skip them.

3148
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:00,800
How about that?

3149
01:53:00,840 --> 01:53:01,180
Nonsense.

3150
01:53:01,460 --> 01:53:01,580
Yeah.

3151
01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:02,320
Yeah.

3152
01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:04,720
If you listen to a podcast on Spotify

3153
01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:09,960
that is hosted by arguably the largest ad

3154
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:13,920
insertion company, Megaphone, which they purchased, you cannot

3155
01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:16,500
skip the ads in your Spotify app.

3156
01:53:18,850 --> 01:53:19,770
How about that?

3157
01:53:20,610 --> 01:53:22,490
That's, well, it's good for the advertiser.

3158
01:53:22,890 --> 01:53:24,210
It's great for the advertiser.

3159
01:53:24,330 --> 01:53:26,430
It's great for the modern podcast apps because

3160
01:53:26,430 --> 01:53:27,490
you can skip them there.

3161
01:53:27,910 --> 01:53:28,810
Podcastapps.com.

3162
01:53:29,370 --> 01:53:30,490
Should be able to skip anything.

3163
01:53:30,550 --> 01:53:31,650
You should be able to skip anything you

3164
01:53:31,650 --> 01:53:31,750
want.

3165
01:53:31,750 --> 01:53:33,290
You should be able to skip the ads,

3166
01:53:33,390 --> 01:53:36,210
the content, whatever you want to skip, you

3167
01:53:36,210 --> 01:53:37,070
should be able to skip.

3168
01:53:37,370 --> 01:53:37,530
Nope.

3169
01:53:37,730 --> 01:53:38,590
Can't do it.

3170
01:53:40,110 --> 01:53:40,890
So we run this.

3171
01:53:40,990 --> 01:53:42,310
What kind of control is that?

3172
01:53:42,410 --> 01:53:45,390
This is not helping the end user.

3173
01:53:45,730 --> 01:53:47,230
Remember the promise?

3174
01:53:47,790 --> 01:53:48,670
It'll be great.

3175
01:53:48,770 --> 01:53:50,090
You will control everything.

3176
01:53:53,730 --> 01:53:55,210
You don't control anything.

3177
01:53:55,830 --> 01:53:58,530
Just like we're not controlled because we have

3178
01:53:58,530 --> 01:53:59,830
the value for value model.

3179
01:54:00,170 --> 01:54:02,030
So we're not controlled about what we say,

3180
01:54:02,130 --> 01:54:03,610
how we say it, when we say it,

3181
01:54:03,730 --> 01:54:06,650
our own thinking about what we talk about.

3182
01:54:06,730 --> 01:54:08,150
There's no control about that.

3183
01:54:08,350 --> 01:54:10,550
Value for value means we're free to give

3184
01:54:10,550 --> 01:54:13,510
you top-notch value as a service to

3185
01:54:13,510 --> 01:54:14,050
humanity.

3186
01:54:14,450 --> 01:54:15,790
We're happy to do it.

3187
01:54:16,030 --> 01:54:17,650
All we ask for in return is that

3188
01:54:17,650 --> 01:54:19,970
from time to time, whenever you feel the

3189
01:54:19,970 --> 01:54:22,350
need, whenever you feel that you've received enough

3190
01:54:22,350 --> 01:54:24,390
value or it's just so valuable, you need

3191
01:54:24,390 --> 01:54:25,890
to send something back, you can do it

3192
01:54:25,890 --> 01:54:27,950
with time, talent, and treasure.

3193
01:54:28,550 --> 01:54:30,390
Actually, I got a note from Zach.

3194
01:54:31,030 --> 01:54:33,730
He's thinking of starting a value for value

3195
01:54:33,730 --> 01:54:35,070
bakery for cookies.

3196
01:54:36,910 --> 01:54:40,310
He says, so he has a break room,

3197
01:54:40,970 --> 01:54:43,390
about 60 people in the company, and they

3198
01:54:43,390 --> 01:54:44,390
have a family business.

3199
01:54:45,070 --> 01:54:46,630
He'd be robbed blind if he was in

3200
01:54:46,630 --> 01:54:47,210
San Francisco.

3201
01:54:47,430 --> 01:54:48,730
He says he wants to try it.

3202
01:54:48,770 --> 01:54:49,690
No, he's not in San Francisco.

3203
01:54:50,510 --> 01:54:53,690
He says, do you think it will work?

3204
01:54:53,730 --> 01:54:55,650
He says it costs about 15 cents a

3205
01:54:55,650 --> 01:54:58,350
cookie, sometimes a little more to make them.

3206
01:54:58,970 --> 01:55:01,430
Actually, it's between 15 cents and a dollar.

3207
01:55:02,150 --> 01:55:04,110
Do you think that value for value will

3208
01:55:04,110 --> 01:55:05,890
work in the break room with about 60

3209
01:55:05,890 --> 01:55:06,750
people in the company?

3210
01:55:06,870 --> 01:55:08,190
And I'm like, you should try it.

3211
01:55:09,070 --> 01:55:09,950
Let us know.

3212
01:55:10,570 --> 01:55:11,070
I have a feeling.

3213
01:55:11,130 --> 01:55:11,930
It's like the honor bar.

3214
01:55:12,090 --> 01:55:13,990
It's like the honor farms that we have

3215
01:55:13,990 --> 01:55:15,010
in Washington State.

3216
01:55:15,270 --> 01:55:15,990
They work, right?

3217
01:55:16,170 --> 01:55:16,730
It's like the honor.

3218
01:55:16,910 --> 01:55:17,630
They work, yeah.

3219
01:55:17,770 --> 01:55:17,970
Yeah.

3220
01:55:18,830 --> 01:55:19,270
Yeah.

3221
01:55:19,910 --> 01:55:23,830
And then there's the honor bar.

3222
01:55:24,150 --> 01:55:26,170
And a lot of companies have a little

3223
01:55:26,170 --> 01:55:27,990
thing where they have a bunch of candy

3224
01:55:27,990 --> 01:55:30,190
and you're supposed to donate to the candy

3225
01:55:30,190 --> 01:55:30,610
fund.

3226
01:55:31,250 --> 01:55:33,530
I mean, this is not an unusual situation.

3227
01:55:33,610 --> 01:55:33,930
Yeah.

3228
01:55:34,050 --> 01:55:35,390
If you have honest employees.

3229
01:55:35,550 --> 01:55:37,490
But if you have one or two criminals,

3230
01:55:37,930 --> 01:55:39,730
it doesn't take that much.

3231
01:55:40,330 --> 01:55:41,850
It ruins it for everybody.

3232
01:55:43,810 --> 01:55:44,250
Yeah.

3233
01:55:44,350 --> 01:55:45,390
We don't want criminals.

3234
01:55:46,450 --> 01:55:47,630
Criminals are no good.

3235
01:55:47,750 --> 01:55:51,310
You have a value for value stooges who

3236
01:55:51,310 --> 01:55:54,690
snitch and post everybody's name who didn't leave

3237
01:55:54,690 --> 01:55:54,850
some money.

3238
01:55:54,850 --> 01:55:55,690
No, just put it in cameras.

3239
01:55:55,830 --> 01:55:56,550
That's the way to go.

3240
01:55:57,410 --> 01:55:59,710
Part of our value for value is time

3241
01:55:59,710 --> 01:56:01,350
and talent, along with the treasure.

3242
01:56:01,710 --> 01:56:04,050
And the time and talent comes most frequently

3243
01:56:04,050 --> 01:56:05,430
in the form of end-of-show mixes.

3244
01:56:05,450 --> 01:56:07,270
We appreciate all of our end-of-show

3245
01:56:07,270 --> 01:56:07,750
mixers.

3246
01:56:08,190 --> 01:56:12,210
And our artists who post to noagendaartgenerator.com,

3247
01:56:12,910 --> 01:56:15,730
which seems to be, I'd say, about 99

3248
01:56:15,730 --> 01:56:16,950
% AI now.

3249
01:56:17,050 --> 01:56:18,130
I've just given up.

3250
01:56:18,210 --> 01:56:18,710
I've given up.

3251
01:56:18,970 --> 01:56:20,830
But the last batch, we had a lot

3252
01:56:20,830 --> 01:56:22,230
to choose from, all AI.

3253
01:56:22,570 --> 01:56:24,530
And none of it really spectacular.

3254
01:56:25,230 --> 01:56:25,850
It's OK.

3255
01:56:26,490 --> 01:56:27,650
It's clean-looking.

3256
01:56:27,830 --> 01:56:28,450
It looks good.

3257
01:56:29,270 --> 01:56:33,270
It was data who brought us really the

3258
01:56:33,270 --> 01:56:34,670
one that we liked the most, which was

3259
01:56:34,670 --> 01:56:36,990
the just very sad-looking Bambi in front

3260
01:56:36,990 --> 01:56:38,670
of the burning Hollywood sign.

3261
01:56:39,330 --> 01:56:41,610
But it wasn't something that people went, wow,

3262
01:56:41,710 --> 01:56:42,370
that's awesome.

3263
01:56:42,470 --> 01:56:43,150
That's great art.

3264
01:56:43,210 --> 01:56:44,330
People just don't do that.

3265
01:56:44,950 --> 01:56:46,330
No, not with some of this stuff.

3266
01:56:46,710 --> 01:56:46,930
No.

3267
01:56:47,550 --> 01:56:50,510
And it's crazy that Darren O'Neill, who

3268
01:56:50,510 --> 01:56:52,290
has no other skills that we know of,

3269
01:56:52,290 --> 01:56:57,750
has somehow figured out how to be a

3270
01:56:57,750 --> 01:56:57,850
fan.

3271
01:56:57,850 --> 01:56:59,670
He's one of the best guys I've seen

3272
01:56:59,670 --> 01:57:00,510
do this stuff.

3273
01:57:00,530 --> 01:57:02,130
He's one of the best prompt jockeys I've

3274
01:57:02,130 --> 01:57:03,470
ever— I mean, he could get a job

3275
01:57:03,470 --> 01:57:03,970
anywhere.

3276
01:57:04,370 --> 01:57:07,930
No, instead, he spends his time, all six

3277
01:57:07,930 --> 01:57:10,550
foot six of him, just making art for

3278
01:57:10,550 --> 01:57:10,850
us.

3279
01:57:11,050 --> 01:57:14,450
And we can't choose Darren all the time.

3280
01:57:15,310 --> 01:57:15,990
We just can't.

3281
01:57:16,150 --> 01:57:18,230
I did choose him again for the newsletter.

3282
01:57:18,230 --> 01:57:18,490
I know you did.

3283
01:57:20,610 --> 01:57:21,890
So we like data.

3284
01:57:22,210 --> 01:57:23,930
We like what data did.

3285
01:57:24,010 --> 01:57:25,150
Let's see what else there was.

3286
01:57:25,210 --> 01:57:27,410
It was just all— I feel bad for

3287
01:57:27,410 --> 01:57:28,570
our Dutch masters.

3288
01:57:28,750 --> 01:57:29,390
They've given up.

3289
01:57:29,510 --> 01:57:30,270
They've just given up.

3290
01:57:30,410 --> 01:57:31,250
I'm not going to do it.

3291
01:57:31,370 --> 01:57:32,310
I can't do it.

3292
01:57:32,970 --> 01:57:33,610
I can't do it.

3293
01:57:33,670 --> 01:57:37,050
AI has ruined, ruined art.

3294
01:57:37,470 --> 01:57:37,950
Ruined it.

3295
01:57:40,330 --> 01:57:42,750
A lot of gay fire hydrants.

3296
01:57:43,070 --> 01:57:44,210
Okay, we got it.

3297
01:57:44,210 --> 01:57:50,270
A lot of babes dressed up as fire

3298
01:57:50,270 --> 01:57:52,510
women, which is like— I felt it was

3299
01:57:52,510 --> 01:57:53,230
just inappropriate.

3300
01:57:54,310 --> 01:57:55,430
You know, like, eh.

3301
01:57:56,270 --> 01:57:59,030
I did like a Comixford blogger who came

3302
01:57:59,030 --> 01:58:01,350
in fast and hard with a butt with

3303
01:58:01,350 --> 01:58:02,630
a thermometer stuck in it.

3304
01:58:02,690 --> 01:58:04,590
Good job, Comixford blogger.

3305
01:58:04,810 --> 01:58:06,030
Yeah, we're going to choose that one.

3306
01:58:06,750 --> 01:58:09,310
I like the DEI dropping Gatorade.

3307
01:58:11,050 --> 01:58:13,050
Yeah, but the problem I had with it

3308
01:58:13,050 --> 01:58:14,310
is you— who did that?

3309
01:58:15,610 --> 01:58:16,010
Kakondi.

3310
01:58:16,690 --> 01:58:18,530
You couldn't— I mean, unless you— I mean,

3311
01:58:18,550 --> 01:58:19,790
I look at the Gatorade logo.

3312
01:58:19,910 --> 01:58:21,750
I'm not a sports ball guy, and so

3313
01:58:21,750 --> 01:58:24,030
it just didn't— it didn't register for me.

3314
01:58:24,030 --> 01:58:24,610
Yeah, it didn't register.

3315
01:58:24,910 --> 01:58:25,570
You didn't know what it was.

3316
01:58:25,630 --> 01:58:26,170
It's G.

3317
01:58:26,390 --> 01:58:27,930
Yeah, I'm like, what's the G for?

3318
01:58:27,990 --> 01:58:28,550
I don't get it.

3319
01:58:28,630 --> 01:58:29,510
Yeah, Gatorade.

3320
01:58:30,370 --> 01:58:32,990
Actually, it turns out— I have some clips

3321
01:58:32,990 --> 01:58:35,090
on what that stuff is.

3322
01:58:35,130 --> 01:58:36,610
Do you know about the fire suppressants?

3323
01:58:38,550 --> 01:58:40,570
Technically, no, but I would be interested.

3324
01:58:40,850 --> 01:58:41,990
I'm glad you're interested.

3325
01:58:42,190 --> 01:58:43,030
And it's not green.

3326
01:58:43,470 --> 01:58:44,150
It is red.

3327
01:58:44,270 --> 01:58:46,190
Have you ever wondered what the fire retardant

3328
01:58:46,190 --> 01:58:49,130
that air tankers drop during a wildfire is?

3329
01:58:49,130 --> 01:58:50,210
And what do you do if any of

3330
01:58:50,210 --> 01:58:51,850
that fire retardant gets on your vehicle or

3331
01:58:51,850 --> 01:58:52,170
your home?

3332
01:58:52,410 --> 01:58:52,910
There's a question.

3333
01:58:53,030 --> 01:58:54,370
Let's break it down and talk about what

3334
01:58:54,370 --> 01:58:55,490
fire retardant is.

3335
01:58:55,950 --> 01:59:00,090
First, wildland firefighting retardant is primarily made of

3336
01:59:00,090 --> 01:59:00,370
water.

3337
01:59:00,450 --> 01:59:03,430
In fact, 85% of the chemical compound

3338
01:59:03,430 --> 01:59:04,650
is water.

3339
01:59:05,090 --> 01:59:07,590
The remainder of it, 10%, is fertilizer.

3340
01:59:08,050 --> 01:59:11,290
Various different fertilizers can make up fire retardant,

3341
01:59:11,290 --> 01:59:13,210
and that fertilizer does a couple things.

3342
01:59:13,470 --> 01:59:17,230
One, it cools down the vegetation, coating the

3343
01:59:17,230 --> 01:59:20,670
brush, the trees, with the retardant so that

3344
01:59:20,670 --> 01:59:22,310
by the time the fire gets to it,

3345
01:59:22,610 --> 01:59:24,370
it slows down the fire.

3346
01:59:24,530 --> 01:59:25,930
It takes out the heat so that firefighters

3347
01:59:25,930 --> 01:59:28,170
on the ground can actually put the fire

3348
01:59:28,170 --> 01:59:28,610
out.

3349
01:59:28,930 --> 01:59:31,030
The last remaining is 5% of other

3350
01:59:31,030 --> 01:59:33,930
minor ingredients, one of those being the color.

3351
01:59:34,350 --> 01:59:36,470
We dye it red, this kind of pinkish

3352
01:59:36,470 --> 01:59:39,830
color, specifically because that's the easiest for our

3353
01:59:39,830 --> 01:59:42,110
pilots in the air to see where the

3354
01:59:42,110 --> 01:59:43,170
retardant has been dropped.

3355
01:59:43,610 --> 01:59:45,590
In some cases, we're going to connect drop

3356
01:59:45,590 --> 01:59:47,050
after drop after drop.

3357
01:59:47,250 --> 01:59:48,470
And so we want to make sure that

3358
01:59:48,470 --> 01:59:49,390
it's easily visible.

3359
01:59:49,510 --> 01:59:52,070
And so we use a very high, powerful

3360
01:59:52,070 --> 01:59:53,630
color like this red.

3361
01:59:53,870 --> 01:59:55,970
We've tested other colors before, but it's this

3362
01:59:55,970 --> 01:59:58,330
reddish color, this light reddish color, that really

3363
01:59:58,330 --> 01:59:59,210
is the best.

3364
01:59:59,410 --> 02:00:01,510
You know, I was just thinking, now with

3365
02:00:01,510 --> 02:00:03,850
red dye number three on the chopping block,

3366
02:00:04,030 --> 02:00:05,410
do you think that that's worth two?

3367
02:00:05,610 --> 02:00:06,570
I don't know which number it is.

3368
02:00:06,610 --> 02:00:07,130
Three, number three.

3369
02:00:07,210 --> 02:00:08,310
Do you think that's what they use?

3370
02:00:08,310 --> 02:00:09,330
Red dye number three?

3371
02:00:09,750 --> 02:00:10,530
Well, they probably do.

3372
02:00:10,630 --> 02:00:11,830
It's one of the great dyes of the

3373
02:00:11,830 --> 02:00:12,230
world.

3374
02:00:12,330 --> 02:00:14,290
Well, it's for both of them.

3375
02:00:14,450 --> 02:00:14,910
Killing everybody.

3376
02:00:15,370 --> 02:00:16,090
And here's the other thing.

3377
02:00:16,250 --> 02:00:18,750
Doesn't fertilizer, fertilizers used to make bombs.

3378
02:00:19,090 --> 02:00:21,210
I know, I found that peculiar myself.

3379
02:00:21,450 --> 02:00:22,610
The Anfo bomb.

3380
02:00:23,030 --> 02:00:24,950
But the guy does like saying retardant.

3381
02:00:25,090 --> 02:00:26,410
It's like, I get to say the R

3382
02:00:26,410 --> 02:00:26,650
word.

3383
02:00:26,910 --> 02:00:27,790
Retardant, retarded.

3384
02:00:27,970 --> 02:00:28,990
Oh, I said retardant.

3385
02:00:29,190 --> 02:00:30,150
I'm sorry, what did I say?

3386
02:00:30,290 --> 02:00:31,770
So here's the question you really want to

3387
02:00:31,770 --> 02:00:31,950
know.

3388
02:00:31,990 --> 02:00:33,310
What happens if you get it on you?

3389
02:00:33,710 --> 02:00:36,410
Now, if you live within a fire area

3390
02:00:36,410 --> 02:00:38,710
and you get fire retardant on you, your

3391
02:00:38,710 --> 02:00:40,970
home or your car, here are some steps

3392
02:00:40,970 --> 02:00:41,870
on what to do.

3393
02:00:42,230 --> 02:00:43,510
First, the things you should do.

3394
02:00:43,650 --> 02:00:45,310
First, wash it off with water.

3395
02:00:45,610 --> 02:00:46,770
The sooner, the better.

3396
02:00:46,990 --> 02:00:49,470
Whether that's yourself, again, your vehicle or your

3397
02:00:49,470 --> 02:00:50,870
home, you want to get it off.

3398
02:00:50,990 --> 02:00:54,650
That fertilizer, that component of the retardant can

3399
02:00:54,650 --> 02:00:56,930
do damage to your paint or even your

3400
02:00:56,930 --> 02:00:58,830
skin if left untreated.

3401
02:00:59,670 --> 02:01:01,230
If your skin gets on it, you want

3402
02:01:01,230 --> 02:01:02,410
to wash it with gentle soap.

3403
02:01:02,670 --> 02:01:04,230
You might want to have some moisturizer, some

3404
02:01:04,230 --> 02:01:06,910
lotion because it could dry out the skin.

3405
02:01:07,210 --> 02:01:09,170
What you don't want to do is let

3406
02:01:09,170 --> 02:01:11,210
your pets get into the fire retardant.

3407
02:01:11,330 --> 02:01:13,790
Foscheck being one of the many retardant chemicals,

3408
02:01:14,330 --> 02:01:15,530
brands that are out there.

3409
02:01:15,890 --> 02:01:17,530
Be careful not to leave it in standing

3410
02:01:17,530 --> 02:01:20,430
water that other animals may drink out of.

3411
02:01:20,710 --> 02:01:23,110
The retardant has ingredients like ammonia, which may

3412
02:01:23,110 --> 02:01:24,450
burn if it gets into- Dude, they

3413
02:01:24,450 --> 02:01:26,090
have fertilizer and ammonia?

3414
02:01:26,530 --> 02:01:29,750
No, that fertilizer is ammonium nitrate.

3415
02:01:30,210 --> 02:01:31,410
That stuff burns.

3416
02:01:31,410 --> 02:01:33,430
That's the stuff you use to make bombs.

3417
02:01:33,670 --> 02:01:34,190
That's crazy.

3418
02:01:34,630 --> 02:01:35,330
And into your skin.

3419
02:01:35,330 --> 02:01:36,990
So you want to make sure that you're

3420
02:01:36,990 --> 02:01:38,590
cleaning it off really quickly.

3421
02:01:38,750 --> 02:01:40,130
You can use a garden hose.

3422
02:01:40,230 --> 02:01:41,470
Go on top of your roof.

3423
02:01:41,590 --> 02:01:42,850
If you have water.

3424
02:01:43,150 --> 02:01:44,490
Spray it down on your home.

3425
02:01:44,810 --> 02:01:47,970
Cars with smooth surfaces, typically that fire retardant

3426
02:01:47,970 --> 02:01:49,550
will come off very easily.

3427
02:01:49,730 --> 02:01:51,590
If not, you can take a brush or

3428
02:01:51,590 --> 02:01:54,770
a rag and just help to scrub it

3429
02:01:54,770 --> 02:01:55,010
off.

3430
02:01:55,070 --> 02:01:57,330
Again, mostly water will help get it.

3431
02:01:57,810 --> 02:01:58,650
No, there you go.

3432
02:02:00,030 --> 02:02:02,310
Wow, that was a very educational clip for

3433
02:02:02,310 --> 02:02:02,730
the audience.

3434
02:02:03,150 --> 02:02:03,410
Bonus clip.

3435
02:02:03,510 --> 02:02:04,430
It's a bonus clip.

3436
02:02:04,430 --> 02:02:05,250
Bonus clip.

3437
02:02:06,230 --> 02:02:07,830
Was there anything else on the art we

3438
02:02:07,830 --> 02:02:08,490
needed to discuss?

3439
02:02:08,570 --> 02:02:11,510
I thought, by the way, Sir Shuggs, your

3440
02:02:11,510 --> 02:02:13,490
phone out of minutes was funny.

3441
02:02:13,650 --> 02:02:14,690
It didn't quite come across.

3442
02:02:14,790 --> 02:02:15,930
I thought it was a funny bit.

3443
02:02:16,990 --> 02:02:18,690
You said you had to fill up your

3444
02:02:18,690 --> 02:02:18,990
phone.

3445
02:02:19,670 --> 02:02:21,810
And then trying to put like so-called

3446
02:02:21,810 --> 02:02:24,570
lesbians saving Bambi in the forest.

3447
02:02:24,770 --> 02:02:25,770
You liked it.

3448
02:02:26,050 --> 02:02:27,030
I did not.

3449
02:02:27,130 --> 02:02:28,870
I didn't say anything about that clip.

3450
02:02:30,070 --> 02:02:30,510
Clip?

3451
02:02:30,710 --> 02:02:31,210
The art.

3452
02:02:31,390 --> 02:02:32,870
I mean, about that piece of art.

3453
02:02:32,910 --> 02:02:34,850
You're talking about the lesbians with the Bambi?

3454
02:02:34,930 --> 02:02:35,890
No, the ones I liked.

3455
02:02:36,230 --> 02:02:38,110
No, I did like the lesbian ones with

3456
02:02:38,110 --> 02:02:39,150
the fire dykes.

3457
02:02:39,390 --> 02:02:40,090
That's the one I liked.

3458
02:02:40,210 --> 02:02:40,570
I don't think...

3459
02:02:40,570 --> 02:02:42,610
Completely unrealistic women.

3460
02:02:43,390 --> 02:02:45,050
Well, I didn't want to pick it.

3461
02:02:45,230 --> 02:02:48,570
This is a Scaramanga, you know, cheesecake pick.

3462
02:02:49,010 --> 02:02:53,390
Speaking of Scaramanga, he has rejected his...

3463
02:02:53,390 --> 02:02:54,050
Yeah, I noticed.

3464
02:02:54,270 --> 02:02:57,670
Yeah, I figured that was going to happen.

3465
02:02:57,890 --> 02:02:58,210
He's a...

3466
02:02:58,210 --> 02:02:58,610
He rejected...

3467
02:02:58,610 --> 02:02:59,690
That's not his real name.

3468
02:02:59,730 --> 02:03:00,510
We don't know who he is.

3469
02:03:00,530 --> 02:03:01,370
He's some sort of guy.

3470
02:03:01,490 --> 02:03:02,410
Maybe he's the most...

3471
02:03:02,410 --> 02:03:04,610
Could be some commercial New York artist, for

3472
02:03:04,610 --> 02:03:05,350
all we know.

3473
02:03:06,150 --> 02:03:07,890
And he's trying to hide out.

3474
02:03:07,990 --> 02:03:08,830
He doesn't want to know...

3475
02:03:08,830 --> 02:03:10,410
He doesn't want to give his address out.

3476
02:03:10,510 --> 02:03:11,190
He rejected.

3477
02:03:11,370 --> 02:03:13,250
He rejected his Masters of Fine...

3478
02:03:13,250 --> 02:03:14,650
He says, no, no, no.

3479
02:03:14,790 --> 02:03:17,270
Printing and sending a document that's unnecessary.

3480
02:03:17,270 --> 02:03:19,250
It's like giving a medal to a cheetah

3481
02:03:19,250 --> 02:03:20,410
for running fast.

3482
02:03:22,390 --> 02:03:24,190
Kind of an interesting analogy.

3483
02:03:24,490 --> 02:03:26,810
Yes, and I will read that he says,

3484
02:03:26,930 --> 02:03:28,810
for this rumor that I hate the show,

3485
02:03:28,910 --> 02:03:31,130
let's squash that nonsense right here.

3486
02:03:31,130 --> 02:03:33,170
Nothing could be further from the truth.

3487
02:03:33,730 --> 02:03:35,210
I'm guessing this is just one of your

3488
02:03:35,210 --> 02:03:36,030
running gags.

3489
02:03:36,310 --> 02:03:38,090
Still, I admit I got a little spun

3490
02:03:38,090 --> 02:03:40,210
up last year by the feral trolls on

3491
02:03:40,210 --> 02:03:40,590
NAS.

3492
02:03:41,150 --> 02:03:43,570
Despite the vermin infestation, I found some decent

3493
02:03:43,570 --> 02:03:45,030
folk there and even made a few friends.

3494
02:03:45,490 --> 02:03:47,090
If my ire came through, blame it on

3495
02:03:47,090 --> 02:03:47,690
a rough patch.

3496
02:03:47,750 --> 02:03:49,690
He did have some issues, personal issues.

3497
02:03:50,250 --> 02:03:51,390
I've been a fan of yours since the

3498
02:03:51,390 --> 02:03:53,430
early aughts when I was studying technology in

3499
02:03:53,430 --> 02:03:53,810
college.

3500
02:03:53,970 --> 02:03:54,950
Adam, I'll be honest.

3501
02:03:55,030 --> 02:03:57,050
Back then, all I knew about you was

3502
02:03:57,050 --> 02:03:59,590
that you were an emaciated, possibly gay, former

3503
02:03:59,590 --> 02:04:01,570
MTV VJ with immaculate hair.

3504
02:04:01,910 --> 02:04:03,170
Possibly gay.

3505
02:04:04,190 --> 02:04:05,350
He nailed it.

3506
02:04:07,610 --> 02:04:09,010
He nailed it.

3507
02:04:10,630 --> 02:04:12,610
I missed the memo on your genius.

3508
02:04:13,030 --> 02:04:13,550
My bad.

3509
02:04:13,650 --> 02:04:14,250
No hard feelings.

3510
02:04:14,350 --> 02:04:15,430
I've never had hard feelings.

3511
02:04:15,530 --> 02:04:16,710
It's John who has the problem.

3512
02:04:16,890 --> 02:04:17,570
I got no problem.

3513
02:04:17,870 --> 02:04:18,410
I got no problem.

3514
02:04:18,690 --> 02:04:19,230
My coot.

3515
02:04:20,610 --> 02:04:22,510
Your coot, exactly.

3516
02:04:23,030 --> 02:04:24,570
It's the coot that has the problem.

3517
02:04:24,710 --> 02:04:25,090
Cooties.

3518
02:04:25,650 --> 02:04:26,170
Coot problems.

3519
02:04:26,650 --> 02:04:29,670
Thank you very much to Data for the

3520
02:04:29,670 --> 02:04:31,850
artwork for episode 1729.

3521
02:04:32,530 --> 02:04:35,450
We titled that Algo Chasers and I see

3522
02:04:35,450 --> 02:04:37,810
that we have some more fine Algo artwork

3523
02:04:37,810 --> 02:04:38,630
that has come in.

3524
02:04:38,890 --> 02:04:42,690
It'll be another fun job to choose from

3525
02:04:42,690 --> 02:04:43,090
that.

3526
02:04:43,570 --> 02:04:45,410
It's tough.

3527
02:04:45,770 --> 02:04:46,630
It's very, very tough.

3528
02:04:46,970 --> 02:04:49,570
So there is plenty of time, plenty of

3529
02:04:49,570 --> 02:04:52,030
time to get your submissions in.

3530
02:04:52,590 --> 02:04:55,910
noagendaartgenerator.com Anybody can participate and they're not

3531
02:04:55,910 --> 02:04:57,630
just used for album art for the show.

3532
02:04:57,630 --> 02:04:59,930
We use other pieces for newsletters, for bat

3533
02:04:59,930 --> 02:05:02,230
signals, and of course, Dreb Scott does a

3534
02:05:02,230 --> 02:05:05,890
great job putting together our chapters in the

3535
02:05:05,890 --> 02:05:07,950
Modern Podcast app, which will rotate on your

3536
02:05:07,950 --> 02:05:09,350
dashboard when you usually get in the car.

3537
02:05:09,850 --> 02:05:12,430
Now to the treasure part, we thank everybody

3538
02:05:12,430 --> 02:05:14,190
who sends us $50 or above.

3539
02:05:14,470 --> 02:05:17,270
We mention who, the amount, where you're from,

3540
02:05:17,450 --> 02:05:21,550
complete transparency, unlike any other model within any

3541
02:05:21,550 --> 02:05:22,950
broadcast organization.

3542
02:05:23,690 --> 02:05:27,550
And we have special titles, which are very

3543
02:05:27,550 --> 02:05:30,030
Hollywood, so they are official.

3544
02:05:30,410 --> 02:05:32,410
We feel it's only appropriate that if you

3545
02:05:32,410 --> 02:05:34,110
are a producer, you are able to get

3546
02:05:34,110 --> 02:05:35,330
a credit, an official credit.

3547
02:05:35,770 --> 02:05:38,550
An associate executive producer, $200 or more, and

3548
02:05:38,550 --> 02:05:39,330
we'll read your note.

3549
02:05:39,410 --> 02:05:41,990
An executive producer, $300 or more, and we'll

3550
02:05:41,990 --> 02:05:42,570
read your note.

3551
02:05:42,850 --> 02:05:44,430
And all of these can be used anywhere

3552
02:05:44,430 --> 02:05:47,430
credits are recognized, which includes imdb.com.

3553
02:05:47,510 --> 02:05:49,890
Now we start with a rather long note,

3554
02:05:49,930 --> 02:05:51,710
but we don't have that many, so I'll

3555
02:05:51,710 --> 02:05:52,270
read through it.

3556
02:05:52,310 --> 02:05:55,670
Julian Swan is in Westmoreland, Tennessee.

3557
02:05:57,210 --> 02:05:59,470
Jumps in right away, the first time in

3558
02:05:59,470 --> 02:06:01,790
weeks, maybe months, we've had an instant night.

3559
02:06:02,590 --> 02:06:02,750
Yep.

3560
02:06:02,950 --> 02:06:04,270
How long has it been since we've had

3561
02:06:04,270 --> 02:06:04,910
an instant night?

3562
02:06:05,190 --> 02:06:07,330
We haven't had one since last year.

3563
02:06:07,990 --> 02:06:08,470
Okay.

3564
02:06:09,550 --> 02:06:11,050
$1,000, he says.

3565
02:06:11,110 --> 02:06:12,410
It's been a while, old friends.

3566
02:06:12,590 --> 02:06:15,430
I've been a listener ever since episode 605

3567
02:06:15,430 --> 02:06:16,550
back in 2014.

3568
02:06:17,190 --> 02:06:20,710
I've been to many different meetups, mostly in

3569
02:06:20,710 --> 02:06:21,530
the Atlanta area.

3570
02:06:21,810 --> 02:06:24,030
Then we got saved and moved to Nashville,

3571
02:06:24,130 --> 02:06:26,090
Tennessee for a church that stayed open during

3572
02:06:26,090 --> 02:06:26,910
the fake virus.

3573
02:06:27,050 --> 02:06:27,970
That's one of the few.

3574
02:06:28,190 --> 02:06:28,750
That's great.

3575
02:06:29,170 --> 02:06:30,770
I'm so glad to hear of your salvation,

3576
02:06:31,010 --> 02:06:31,110
Adam.

3577
02:06:31,170 --> 02:06:32,770
Welcome to the army of the son of

3578
02:06:32,770 --> 02:06:33,090
God.

3579
02:06:33,190 --> 02:06:34,470
We need all the good men we can

3580
02:06:34,470 --> 02:06:35,230
get in this fight.

3581
02:06:35,370 --> 02:06:35,830
That's right.

3582
02:06:36,010 --> 02:06:36,910
The spiritual war.

3583
02:06:38,450 --> 02:06:40,570
You guys were fundamental in my awakening.

3584
02:06:40,970 --> 02:06:42,870
I, oops, it's hard to scroll here.

3585
02:06:43,090 --> 02:06:44,810
I wouldn't be where I am today without

3586
02:06:44,810 --> 02:06:45,150
you.

3587
02:06:45,290 --> 02:06:47,930
Your ability to extract narratives from their pigeonhole

3588
02:06:47,930 --> 02:06:50,070
position in the mainstream media and draw them

3589
02:06:50,070 --> 02:06:52,630
out to a greater sphere of understanding, dissecting

3590
02:06:52,630 --> 02:06:53,970
them from multiple different angles.

3591
02:06:53,970 --> 02:06:56,290
This process armed me with a rational and

3592
02:06:56,290 --> 02:06:57,050
logical mind.

3593
02:06:57,170 --> 02:07:00,050
I used to obliterate cultural narratives everywhere I

3594
02:07:00,050 --> 02:07:00,530
heard them.

3595
02:07:00,650 --> 02:07:02,810
This did not do much for my popularity.

3596
02:07:03,950 --> 02:07:06,690
No, no, that usually doesn't.

3597
02:07:07,010 --> 02:07:08,450
But at least it made people think.

3598
02:07:08,870 --> 02:07:11,730
Today, my wife and I teach equity jurisprudence.

3599
02:07:12,170 --> 02:07:12,430
Wow.

3600
02:07:12,570 --> 02:07:14,650
We help people learn how to present themselves

3601
02:07:14,650 --> 02:07:16,290
in court without an attorney.

3602
02:07:16,970 --> 02:07:18,530
Well, that's actually very interesting.

3603
02:07:19,510 --> 02:07:22,390
We have many credible victories and we have

3604
02:07:22,390 --> 02:07:26,050
seen miracles happen that you would scarcely believe.

3605
02:07:26,530 --> 02:07:28,510
We also teach a class on trusts and

3606
02:07:28,510 --> 02:07:30,810
how to protect your assets and businesses without

3607
02:07:30,810 --> 02:07:32,170
contracting with the state.

3608
02:07:32,490 --> 02:07:35,470
Our website is standingontherock.com.

3609
02:07:36,570 --> 02:07:37,490
Standingontherock.com.

3610
02:07:37,550 --> 02:07:40,330
It's still under construction, but there's a good

3611
02:07:40,330 --> 02:07:42,210
introductory video there about what we do.

3612
02:07:42,290 --> 02:07:43,230
Thank you guys so much.

3613
02:07:43,270 --> 02:07:44,550
I could seriously not have done it without

3614
02:07:44,550 --> 02:07:45,050
you both.

3615
02:07:45,410 --> 02:07:46,810
There were a good seven or eight years

3616
02:07:46,810 --> 02:07:48,210
there that I did not miss a single

3617
02:07:48,210 --> 02:07:50,110
minute of a single episode.

3618
02:07:50,110 --> 02:07:51,910
I did get mad at John one time

3619
02:07:51,910 --> 02:07:54,770
for shutting down a conversation about terrain theory,

3620
02:07:54,890 --> 02:07:56,490
and I admit I was mean to Adam

3621
02:07:56,490 --> 02:07:57,950
on No Agenda Social about it.

3622
02:07:58,350 --> 02:07:59,510
I repent of my sins.

3623
02:07:59,650 --> 02:08:00,870
I bless you both in the name of

3624
02:08:00,870 --> 02:08:01,130
Jesus.

3625
02:08:01,270 --> 02:08:03,570
Please knight me, Sir Swan, of the equitable

3626
02:08:03,570 --> 02:08:04,130
remedies.

3627
02:08:04,610 --> 02:08:05,490
I love you guys.

3628
02:08:05,570 --> 02:08:07,550
I credit you both as my original mentors

3629
02:08:07,550 --> 02:08:08,730
and spiritual fathers.

3630
02:08:09,310 --> 02:08:11,610
God makes his face to shine upon you

3631
02:08:11,610 --> 02:08:11,890
both.

3632
02:08:12,130 --> 02:08:14,010
Godspeed from Julian Swan.

3633
02:08:14,230 --> 02:08:15,710
And we shall be knighting him later.

3634
02:08:15,810 --> 02:08:16,690
Thank you very much, Julian.

3635
02:08:16,690 --> 02:08:18,770
What is he talking about, about this terrain

3636
02:08:18,770 --> 02:08:19,210
thing?

3637
02:08:19,210 --> 02:08:22,150
I'm sure it's something you went, that's bullcrap,

3638
02:08:22,430 --> 02:08:23,890
back in the NAS days.

3639
02:08:24,450 --> 02:08:25,870
Don't fret over it.

3640
02:08:26,670 --> 02:08:27,710
I fret over everything.

3641
02:08:28,010 --> 02:08:28,190
Yeah.

3642
02:08:28,570 --> 02:08:29,870
That's what coots do.

3643
02:08:30,970 --> 02:08:36,870
Sir PDR-ist, P-D-R-tist, in

3644
02:08:36,870 --> 02:08:38,130
Leeuwarden.

3645
02:08:42,670 --> 02:08:43,610
Yeah, Netherlands.

3646
02:08:43,870 --> 02:08:44,910
It's 350-58.

3647
02:08:45,830 --> 02:08:47,030
Good morning, gents.

3648
02:08:47,030 --> 02:08:48,850
First of all, I would like to wish

3649
02:08:48,850 --> 02:08:50,790
you both a very happy and prosperous new

3650
02:08:50,790 --> 02:08:53,010
year, with the 10th anniversary, or 10th birthday,

3651
02:08:53,470 --> 02:08:56,530
of our beautiful daughter, Lily Louise, coming up

3652
02:08:56,530 --> 02:08:57,370
next Saturday.

3653
02:08:57,950 --> 02:08:59,610
I decided it was time to send some

3654
02:08:59,610 --> 02:09:02,310
of my pre-Trump crypto gains to my

3655
02:09:02,310 --> 02:09:03,710
friends at the other end.

3656
02:09:03,990 --> 02:09:04,210
Nice.

3657
02:09:05,710 --> 02:09:07,550
Please put her on the birthday list, and

3658
02:09:07,550 --> 02:09:10,430
can we get her some goat karma as

3659
02:09:10,430 --> 02:09:11,810
well, please?

3660
02:09:11,910 --> 02:09:12,310
Thanks.

3661
02:09:13,010 --> 02:09:15,210
And thank you for keeping us sane in

3662
02:09:15,210 --> 02:09:16,110
these crazy times.

3663
02:09:16,110 --> 02:09:18,850
Guys, keep up the good work.

3664
02:09:19,010 --> 02:09:19,610
Love and light.

3665
02:09:21,270 --> 02:09:23,410
It's Sir PDR-ist.

3666
02:09:23,830 --> 02:09:24,610
Okay, let me try it.

3667
02:09:24,850 --> 02:09:25,270
Okay, okay.

3668
02:09:25,850 --> 02:09:27,450
Bauke Overbosch.

3669
02:09:27,690 --> 02:09:28,350
Not that bad.

3670
02:09:28,650 --> 02:09:29,110
Bauke.

3671
02:09:29,390 --> 02:09:29,910
Bauke.

3672
02:09:29,990 --> 02:09:30,510
Bauke.

3673
02:09:30,730 --> 02:09:31,210
Bauke.

3674
02:09:31,470 --> 02:09:32,590
Bauke Overbosch.

3675
02:09:33,930 --> 02:09:35,130
Bauke Overbosch.

3676
02:09:40,390 --> 02:09:44,790
Then we have Zachary McClellan from Frankenmuth.

3677
02:09:45,890 --> 02:09:46,290
Michigan.

3678
02:09:46,890 --> 02:09:48,410
And it says, Adam has note.

3679
02:09:48,590 --> 02:09:50,870
Now, I'm going to presume, no, I know

3680
02:09:50,870 --> 02:09:53,350
that this is the noagendafudge.com, people.

3681
02:09:54,010 --> 02:09:54,810
noagendafudge.com.

3682
02:09:56,510 --> 02:09:58,590
It is a better idea to send the

3683
02:09:58,590 --> 02:10:01,210
note to notes at noagendashow.net?

3684
02:10:02,070 --> 02:10:02,790
Well, no, no, no.

3685
02:10:02,830 --> 02:10:03,690
This is not right.

3686
02:10:04,290 --> 02:10:06,190
I mean, yeah, what you're saying is correct.

3687
02:10:06,410 --> 02:10:08,190
But the reason it says Adam has notes,

3688
02:10:08,230 --> 02:10:10,390
because this is the check that Tina sent

3689
02:10:10,390 --> 02:10:12,470
in the mail that you picked up personally,

3690
02:10:12,470 --> 02:10:14,070
and I figured if there was a note,

3691
02:10:14,130 --> 02:10:14,670
you'd have it.

3692
02:10:14,670 --> 02:10:16,490
I put that in there.

3693
02:10:16,710 --> 02:10:17,750
Oh, okay.

3694
02:10:18,070 --> 02:10:20,350
But still, they should send the note, because

3695
02:10:20,350 --> 02:10:21,270
I don't have the note.

3696
02:10:21,390 --> 02:10:22,870
This was two weeks ago.

3697
02:10:23,750 --> 02:10:25,530
Yeah, but did he say anything?

3698
02:10:25,650 --> 02:10:26,370
Did he say hello?

3699
02:10:26,570 --> 02:10:28,470
Well, there was a nice note, and it

3700
02:10:28,470 --> 02:10:29,530
was a great note.

3701
02:10:30,210 --> 02:10:32,010
But I don't have the note, and I

3702
02:10:32,010 --> 02:10:33,370
don't have the fudge anymore either.

3703
02:10:33,530 --> 02:10:34,430
The fudge is gone.

3704
02:10:34,990 --> 02:10:35,930
You ate the fudge?

3705
02:10:36,030 --> 02:10:36,990
Ate all the fudge.

3706
02:10:38,590 --> 02:10:40,430
We ate the first fudge.

3707
02:10:40,890 --> 02:10:43,330
We ate within an hour of it coming

3708
02:10:43,330 --> 02:10:44,470
in, Tina and I together.

3709
02:10:44,470 --> 02:10:45,850
This is a block of fudge.

3710
02:10:46,370 --> 02:10:47,730
Yeah, it's a big block of fudge.

3711
02:10:47,970 --> 02:10:49,210
And they sent us four blocks.

3712
02:10:49,210 --> 02:10:50,410
Yeah, he packed a lot of fudge for

3713
02:10:50,410 --> 02:10:50,530
you.

3714
02:10:50,590 --> 02:10:52,670
He's a fudge packer, and it was just

3715
02:10:52,670 --> 02:10:53,350
amazing.

3716
02:10:53,710 --> 02:10:58,450
And that was the caramel sea salt.

3717
02:10:59,050 --> 02:11:00,030
That's Tina's favorite.

3718
02:11:01,030 --> 02:11:03,410
Then we took a second one to our

3719
02:11:03,410 --> 02:11:04,670
New Year's, this is how long ago, to

3720
02:11:04,670 --> 02:11:07,630
our New Year's Eve gathering at some friend's

3721
02:11:07,630 --> 02:11:07,930
house.

3722
02:11:08,490 --> 02:11:10,970
I don't remember which one we took there.

3723
02:11:11,010 --> 02:11:12,390
And everybody ate that fudge.

3724
02:11:13,150 --> 02:11:15,270
And then we gave the turtle fudge to

3725
02:11:15,270 --> 02:11:16,570
Pastor Jimmy and Annette.

3726
02:11:17,530 --> 02:11:19,170
And they hated us for it.

3727
02:11:19,190 --> 02:11:21,890
Like, you guys, what did you do to

3728
02:11:21,890 --> 02:11:22,190
us?

3729
02:11:23,510 --> 02:11:25,990
And then the last one, we ate ourselves.

3730
02:11:26,530 --> 02:11:27,590
It's amazing.

3731
02:11:28,190 --> 02:11:31,130
noagendafudge.com, 333.33. Well, the note's lost

3732
02:11:31,130 --> 02:11:31,670
to history.

3733
02:11:32,010 --> 02:11:34,130
Yeah, but it was a beautiful note.

3734
02:11:36,330 --> 02:11:37,290
That's nice.

3735
02:11:37,310 --> 02:11:37,850
That's nice.

3736
02:11:37,990 --> 02:11:41,170
And thank you very much, noagendafudge.com.

3737
02:11:41,170 --> 02:11:43,810
I told you, we went to our New

3738
02:11:43,810 --> 02:11:47,010
Year's Eve dinner, and a person there went,

3739
02:11:47,210 --> 02:11:50,010
it's Frankenmuth fudge, I can't believe it.

3740
02:11:50,830 --> 02:11:52,270
We had the same experience.

3741
02:11:52,830 --> 02:11:59,590
Jesse, JC's wife, Jesse Christensen, she was raised

3742
02:11:59,590 --> 02:12:00,070
in Michigan.

3743
02:12:00,590 --> 02:12:04,610
Everybody in Michigan knows about these guys.

3744
02:12:06,130 --> 02:12:07,910
Eric Dardarian's next on the list.

3745
02:12:07,970 --> 02:12:09,830
He's in Trabuco Canyon, California.

3746
02:12:10,270 --> 02:12:12,650
He came in with $333, and he has

3747
02:12:12,650 --> 02:12:13,650
a very good note.

3748
02:12:13,730 --> 02:12:14,950
It's kind of the best note that we

3749
02:12:14,950 --> 02:12:16,470
have on the show so far, and he

3750
02:12:16,470 --> 02:12:17,770
says, thank you.

3751
02:12:18,310 --> 02:12:21,390
Sir Eric Dardarian, and we thank you indeed.

3752
02:12:21,710 --> 02:12:23,530
Lindsey Frick is in Aurora, Illinois.

3753
02:12:24,550 --> 02:12:24,990
Switcheroo!

3754
02:12:25,570 --> 02:12:25,870
Okay.

3755
02:12:27,530 --> 02:12:30,270
This 333 donation credit is for my dad,

3756
02:12:30,450 --> 02:12:31,730
Larry, for his birthday.

3757
02:12:32,370 --> 02:12:33,990
Okay, so I'm gonna put Larry in there.

3758
02:12:34,250 --> 02:12:36,070
Hold on, Larry, Larry.

3759
02:12:36,370 --> 02:12:38,190
I presume his name is Larry Frick.

3760
02:12:38,370 --> 02:12:39,050
We don't...

3761
02:12:39,050 --> 02:12:40,810
Oh, Copilot just said something.

3762
02:12:41,750 --> 02:12:42,110
Uh-oh.

3763
02:12:43,130 --> 02:12:46,830
So I just changed the cell on my

3764
02:12:46,830 --> 02:12:47,690
Excel sheet.

3765
02:12:48,310 --> 02:12:51,030
Up pops a dialogue, Copilot.

3766
02:12:51,590 --> 02:12:51,830
New!

02:13:18,890 --> 02:13:19,890
Oh, get started.

3775
02:13:21,010 --> 02:13:22,450
Oh, Copilot just popped up.

3776
02:13:22,550 --> 02:13:23,270
What's it gonna do for me?

3777
02:13:23,330 --> 02:13:24,070
Is it gonna change it?

3778
02:13:25,290 --> 02:13:26,890
Oh, autosave is turned off.

3779
02:13:26,930 --> 02:13:29,090
I only work with files that have autosave

3780
02:13:29,090 --> 02:13:29,730
turned on.

3781
02:13:29,950 --> 02:13:31,150
Turn it on to continue.

3782
02:13:31,690 --> 02:13:31,990
All right.

3783
02:13:32,230 --> 02:13:33,010
Does it say that?

3784
02:13:33,130 --> 02:13:34,730
Yes, and then it...

3785
02:13:34,730 --> 02:13:35,770
Oh, please.

3786
02:13:35,930 --> 02:13:37,010
Now pops a box to the top.

3787
02:13:37,010 --> 02:13:39,550
So it's gonna lecture you about autosave and

3788
02:13:39,550 --> 02:13:40,250
all the rest of it.

3789
02:13:40,410 --> 02:13:42,610
So that's the convenience of this.

3790
02:13:42,670 --> 02:13:44,390
It's gonna tell you, damn, you're not doing

3791
02:13:44,390 --> 02:13:44,790
it right.

3792
02:13:44,870 --> 02:13:45,590
So check it out.

3793
02:13:45,690 --> 02:13:47,510
So I click turn on autosave.

3794
02:13:47,610 --> 02:13:49,130
It then goes to the top left of

3795
02:13:49,130 --> 02:13:51,230
the Excel app.

3796
02:13:52,190 --> 02:13:53,790
And it says, how do I turn on

3797
02:13:53,790 --> 02:13:54,390
autosave?

3798
02:13:54,450 --> 02:13:55,610
And it has a little box there.

3799
02:13:56,010 --> 02:13:59,010
Before autosave can save your file, you need

3800
02:13:59,010 --> 02:13:59,870
to fix the following.

3801
02:14:00,430 --> 02:14:03,210
The file was created in unsupported file format.

3802
02:14:03,210 --> 02:14:05,750
Please select file save as to update the

3803
02:14:05,750 --> 02:14:06,550
file format.

3804
02:14:07,030 --> 02:14:07,870
Oh, please.

3805
02:14:07,910 --> 02:14:09,750
And then this file needs to be saved

3806
02:14:09,750 --> 02:14:10,690
to the cloud first.

3807
02:14:10,770 --> 02:14:12,590
And so I hit the autosave button on.

3808
02:14:12,850 --> 02:14:14,030
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

3809
02:14:14,050 --> 02:14:15,790
It won't even do it unless I save

3810
02:14:15,790 --> 02:14:16,610
it to the cloud.

3811
02:14:17,530 --> 02:14:18,350
Screw you, pilot.

3812
02:14:18,550 --> 02:14:19,070
Co-pilot.

3813
02:14:19,450 --> 02:14:19,870
Horrible.

3814
02:14:21,350 --> 02:14:22,050
How about that?

3815
02:14:22,210 --> 02:14:22,790
And why?

3816
02:14:23,170 --> 02:14:23,610
Why?

3817
02:14:23,830 --> 02:14:24,810
Because they need to...

3818
02:14:24,810 --> 02:14:27,450
Because they want this data in their cloud

3819
02:14:27,450 --> 02:14:29,730
so they can steal the data.

3820
02:14:29,910 --> 02:14:30,830
Yes, there you go.

3821
02:14:30,830 --> 02:14:33,790
Anyway, this donation credit is for my dad,

3822
02:14:33,890 --> 02:14:35,690
Larry's birthday on January 17th.

3823
02:14:35,710 --> 02:14:36,570
Please de-douche it.

3824
02:14:38,210 --> 02:14:39,970
You've been de-douched.

3825
02:14:40,330 --> 02:14:43,630
And wish Larry Jr. a very happy birthday

3826
02:14:43,630 --> 02:14:45,010
as an executive producer.

3827
02:14:45,550 --> 02:14:48,970
A family that no agendas together stays together.

3828
02:14:51,330 --> 02:14:53,450
Okay, we go on to Ty Glander in

3829
02:14:53,450 --> 02:14:56,590
Kirkland, Washington, home of Costco.

3830
02:14:57,970 --> 02:15:01,730
Uh, $3.15.85. Not a switcheroo.

3831
02:15:02,270 --> 02:15:04,410
Sir Libre's birthday was Saturday.

3832
02:15:05,190 --> 02:15:05,910
It's another birthday.

3833
02:15:06,430 --> 02:15:09,790
He hosts the podcasting 2.0 value for

3834
02:15:09,790 --> 02:15:11,910
value lightning thrasher show.

3835
02:15:13,770 --> 02:15:18,690
SirLibre.com lightning-thrasher or thrash lightning-thrasher.

3836
02:15:19,650 --> 02:15:19,770
Thrashes.

3837
02:15:20,070 --> 02:15:21,210
Thrashes, yes.

3838
02:15:21,930 --> 02:15:22,750
You know this podcast?

3839
02:15:22,970 --> 02:15:23,390
Yeah, I do.

3840
02:15:23,530 --> 02:15:26,210
It's heavy metal value for value music.

3841
02:15:27,030 --> 02:15:27,470
I sure do.

3842
02:15:27,470 --> 02:15:30,710
Sir Libre is a big contributor to the

3843
02:15:30,710 --> 02:15:32,990
value for value podcasting 2.0 community.

3844
02:15:33,190 --> 02:15:34,150
He's a very important guy.

3845
02:15:34,990 --> 02:15:36,350
And now that I know he lives in

3846
02:15:36,350 --> 02:15:37,570
the home of Co- So we went

3847
02:15:37,570 --> 02:15:40,990
to Costco, Tina and I, on Tuesday.

3848
02:15:42,030 --> 02:15:42,190
Yeah.

3849
02:15:43,910 --> 02:15:45,430
We walked out of there and like we

3850
02:15:45,430 --> 02:15:47,090
could not believe what we had spent on

3851
02:15:47,090 --> 02:15:48,470
really not a lot of stuff.

3852
02:15:48,670 --> 02:15:50,650
The price is- You always spend $150

3853
02:15:50,650 --> 02:15:51,850
to $200.

3854
02:15:52,070 --> 02:15:53,530
$200 used to be my average.

3855
02:15:53,630 --> 02:15:53,790
Twice that.

3856
02:15:55,070 --> 02:15:55,510
$400?

3857
02:15:56,030 --> 02:15:56,450
Yes.

3858
02:15:56,450 --> 02:15:57,670
On what?

3859
02:15:57,890 --> 02:15:58,790
A chicken.

3860
02:15:59,790 --> 02:16:00,750
A chicken?

3861
02:16:00,890 --> 02:16:02,470
A chicken is five bucks.

3862
02:16:02,670 --> 02:16:05,130
No, chicken is $6 a pound for chicken

3863
02:16:05,130 --> 02:16:05,530
breasts.

3864
02:16:06,270 --> 02:16:08,230
Oh, you bought the chick- Oh, $6

3865
02:16:08,230 --> 02:16:08,830
a pound.

3866
02:16:08,930 --> 02:16:10,550
You must have spent a fortune on chicken.

3867
02:16:10,990 --> 02:16:12,230
Well, we bought some other stuff.

3868
02:16:12,950 --> 02:16:14,030
100 pounds of chicken.

3869
02:16:15,250 --> 02:16:17,530
But you know, the one thing they still

3870
02:16:17,530 --> 02:16:20,410
have is the $1.50 hot dog in

3871
02:16:20,410 --> 02:16:23,030
a drink, which people revolted over them trying

3872
02:16:23,030 --> 02:16:24,350
to raise the price on that.

3873
02:16:24,990 --> 02:16:25,190
Yeah.

3874
02:16:25,190 --> 02:16:26,890
Well, it's a scam.

3875
02:16:27,750 --> 02:16:27,950
Why?

3876
02:16:28,490 --> 02:16:31,990
Well, I am a long time consumer of

3877
02:16:31,990 --> 02:16:34,530
the Costco $1.50 hot dog and drink.

3878
02:16:35,190 --> 02:16:41,530
So first off, the bun is only 60

3879
02:16:41,530 --> 02:16:43,090
% the size of the dog.

3880
02:16:43,469 --> 02:16:44,910
It sticks out on both sides.

3881
02:16:45,070 --> 02:16:46,490
It's a puny bun.

3882
02:16:47,110 --> 02:16:48,230
They skimp on the bun.

3883
02:16:48,750 --> 02:16:52,389
Second, the drink container is smaller than it

3884
02:16:52,389 --> 02:16:52,930
used to be.

3885
02:16:53,010 --> 02:16:54,830
I don't know sizes, but it's smaller.

3886
02:16:54,830 --> 02:16:58,170
Third, you can only now get Pepsi products.

3887
02:16:58,330 --> 02:16:59,469
There's no root beer.

3888
02:16:59,809 --> 02:17:00,850
There's no Dr. Pepper.

3889
02:17:01,370 --> 02:17:03,969
It's only Pepsi or Diet Pepsi or water.

3890
02:17:04,170 --> 02:17:05,690
Well, that's just your place because none of

3891
02:17:05,690 --> 02:17:06,750
that's going on here.

3892
02:17:07,250 --> 02:17:09,190
The buns are the same as they always

3893
02:17:09,190 --> 02:17:09,610
have been.

3894
02:17:09,809 --> 02:17:11,670
The container size is the same.

3895
02:17:11,750 --> 02:17:15,450
It's some scam going on your local store.

3896
02:17:15,650 --> 02:17:18,510
Third, the onion grinder has been removed.

3897
02:17:18,850 --> 02:17:20,350
Yes, that has happened everywhere.

3898
02:17:20,530 --> 02:17:21,870
I like the onion grinder.

3899
02:17:22,090 --> 02:17:23,750
I like the onion grinder too.

3900
02:17:23,750 --> 02:17:26,490
Third, they no longer put it in a

3901
02:17:26,490 --> 02:17:27,809
heat sealing bag.

3902
02:17:27,910 --> 02:17:29,570
It's just a brown paper bag.

3903
02:17:30,850 --> 02:17:32,110
So if you don't eat it there, it's

3904
02:17:32,110 --> 02:17:33,389
going to be cold by the time you

3905
02:17:33,389 --> 02:17:34,030
get in the car.

3906
02:17:34,270 --> 02:17:35,170
This is no good.

3907
02:17:36,650 --> 02:17:38,150
I'm very upset with Costco.

3908
02:17:38,530 --> 02:17:40,469
Well, the big upset should be with the

3909
02:17:40,469 --> 02:17:44,049
pre-cooked chicken, which they've taken out of

3910
02:17:44,049 --> 02:17:45,850
the container, which gave me my tip of

3911
02:17:45,850 --> 02:17:47,250
the day, which you could tell it was

3912
02:17:47,250 --> 02:17:48,549
really the right chicken or not.

3913
02:17:48,790 --> 02:17:49,790
I thought they put it back.

3914
02:17:50,490 --> 02:17:52,170
No, as far as I can tell, at

3915
02:17:52,170 --> 02:17:53,990
least locally here, this just goes into some

3916
02:17:53,990 --> 02:17:57,230
crummy bag, some sort of a bag that

3917
02:17:57,230 --> 02:17:58,830
accumulates the juice.

3918
02:17:59,010 --> 02:18:00,129
So if the bag happens to have a

3919
02:18:00,129 --> 02:18:01,690
little tear in it or something, it gets

3920
02:18:01,690 --> 02:18:02,750
all over the car.

3921
02:18:03,870 --> 02:18:04,830
It's a nightmare.

3922
02:18:05,990 --> 02:18:06,270
All right.

3923
02:18:06,309 --> 02:18:07,350
Thank you very much, Ty Glenn.

3924
02:18:08,389 --> 02:18:11,129
Well, I should have a bonus tip of

3925
02:18:11,129 --> 02:18:11,910
the day about Costco.

3926
02:18:12,209 --> 02:18:14,209
Michael Romano, Petaluma, California.

3927
02:18:14,290 --> 02:18:15,650
Hey, Petaluma.

3928
02:18:15,990 --> 02:18:16,870
We know Petaluma.

3929
02:18:17,610 --> 02:18:19,110
Home of broken networks.

3930
02:18:20,570 --> 02:18:23,309
First associate executive producer, 237.

3931
02:18:23,410 --> 02:18:25,490
ITM gents, this is dedicated to my son,

3932
02:18:25,690 --> 02:18:29,230
Dario Romano, to celebrate his first birthday and

3933
02:18:29,230 --> 02:18:30,770
start him out right on his path to

3934
02:18:30,770 --> 02:18:31,209
knighthood.

3935
02:18:31,709 --> 02:18:33,730
Please put him on the birthday list as

3936
02:18:33,730 --> 02:18:35,670
well as we will be celebrating on the

3937
02:18:35,670 --> 02:18:39,410
17th as he's our little bringer of goodness.

3938
02:18:40,190 --> 02:18:40,629
Oh, good.

3939
02:18:40,750 --> 02:18:41,950
He's on the list.

3940
02:18:42,110 --> 02:18:42,709
Thank you, Michael.

3941
02:18:44,930 --> 02:18:46,309
And there we go to...

3942
02:18:46,309 --> 02:18:47,309
Oh, look who it is.

3943
02:18:47,370 --> 02:18:49,389
It's Eli the Coffee Guy in Bensonville, Illinois.

3944
02:18:49,389 --> 02:18:53,030
$201.16. And he says, I watched Biden's

3945
02:18:53,030 --> 02:18:54,129
farewell speech.

3946
02:18:54,709 --> 02:18:54,809
Yeah.

3947
02:18:55,010 --> 02:18:56,809
Say what you want about the man, but

3948
02:18:56,809 --> 02:18:57,650
I'll miss him.

3949
02:18:58,910 --> 02:19:03,910
His vacuous platitudes, mumbling nonsense, and gaffes.

3950
02:19:04,530 --> 02:19:07,549
Although it wasn't Eisenhower's plowshare speech.

3951
02:19:07,629 --> 02:19:10,170
By the way, I think Biden was trying

3952
02:19:10,170 --> 02:19:11,330
to pull an Eisenhower.

3953
02:19:11,370 --> 02:19:11,629
Oh, yeah.

3954
02:19:11,730 --> 02:19:14,750
With the tech industrial complex, which, funny enough,

3955
02:19:14,969 --> 02:19:16,209
spells tick.

3956
02:19:16,209 --> 02:19:19,070
It's like, okay.

3957
02:19:19,650 --> 02:19:20,410
Yeah, that's good.

3958
02:19:20,490 --> 02:19:21,030
All right, Biden.

3959
02:19:22,850 --> 02:19:25,610
Biden warned the people about the oligarchy.

3960
02:19:26,209 --> 02:19:26,629
Yes.

3961
02:19:27,430 --> 02:19:29,530
Which nobody knows what that even means.

3962
02:19:29,730 --> 02:19:32,250
The tech industrial complex and AI.

3963
02:19:34,049 --> 02:19:34,889
History doesn't...

3964
02:19:34,889 --> 02:19:36,850
You know, I didn't get any clips from

3965
02:19:36,850 --> 02:19:37,230
this thing.

3966
02:19:37,330 --> 02:19:38,510
I think I actually...

3967
02:19:38,510 --> 02:19:39,510
Did I get a Biden clip?

3968
02:19:39,770 --> 02:19:40,190
I think I might have.

3969
02:19:40,190 --> 02:19:41,270
Yeah, if you do, I want to hear

3970
02:19:41,270 --> 02:19:41,370
it.

3971
02:19:41,370 --> 02:19:41,830
Yes, I do.

3972
02:19:41,870 --> 02:19:45,490
History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

3973
02:19:45,490 --> 02:19:47,110
Can I get jingles?

3974
02:19:47,290 --> 02:19:49,850
Don't sniff me, Biden, and whole load.

3975
02:19:50,510 --> 02:19:56,350
For all you dog-paced pony soldiers needing

3976
02:19:56,350 --> 02:19:59,990
good coffee, visit gigawattcoffeeroaster.com.

3977
02:20:00,210 --> 02:20:00,890
What a segue.

3978
02:20:01,710 --> 02:20:03,650
Code ITM for your 20% off your

3979
02:20:03,650 --> 02:20:04,310
first order.

3980
02:20:04,830 --> 02:20:05,490
No joke.

3981
02:20:05,910 --> 02:20:07,750
Stay caffeinated, Eli the Coffee Guy.

3982
02:20:09,990 --> 02:20:12,270
I'm gonna give you the whole load today.

3983
02:20:12,590 --> 02:20:13,350
That's disgusting.

3984
02:20:13,790 --> 02:20:15,070
You want to hear a speech?

3985
02:20:15,070 --> 02:20:15,770
I got a speech.

3986
02:20:16,330 --> 02:20:17,430
Yeah, play it.

3987
02:20:17,550 --> 02:20:19,610
It was a message of both hope and

3988
02:20:19,610 --> 02:20:20,070
warning.

3989
02:20:20,290 --> 02:20:21,150
Hope and warning.

3990
02:20:21,430 --> 02:20:23,070
In his final days in the White House,

3991
02:20:23,190 --> 02:20:26,570
President Biden wished the incoming Trump administration success

3992
02:20:26,570 --> 02:20:29,410
but said American democracy was under threat.

3993
02:20:30,010 --> 02:20:33,830
Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America

3994
02:20:33,830 --> 02:20:36,970
of extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally

3995
02:20:36,970 --> 02:20:40,650
threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and

3996
02:20:40,650 --> 02:20:41,110
freedoms.

3997
02:20:41,890 --> 02:20:44,590
Biden could be referring to Donald Trump himself,

3998
02:20:44,590 --> 02:20:46,730
but also some of those closest to him.

3999
02:20:47,390 --> 02:20:49,750
Invoking the words of Dwight Eisenhower, who in

4000
02:20:49,750 --> 02:20:53,570
his own farewell speech in 1961 expressed concerns

4001
02:20:53,570 --> 02:20:56,910
about the military-industrial complex, Biden took aim

4002
02:20:56,910 --> 02:20:57,570
at big tech.

4003
02:20:57,870 --> 02:21:01,770
I'm equally concerned about the potential rise of

4004
02:21:01,770 --> 02:21:04,650
a tech-industrial complex that could pose real

4005
02:21:04,650 --> 02:21:06,650
dangers for our country as well.

4006
02:21:08,110 --> 02:21:11,530
Americans are being buried under an avalanche of

4007
02:21:11,530 --> 02:21:15,870
misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power.

4008
02:21:16,630 --> 02:21:17,170
The free press.

4009
02:21:17,450 --> 02:21:19,210
Clearly aimed at the free press.

4010
02:21:20,210 --> 02:21:22,010
I think I like doing these clips during

4011
02:21:22,010 --> 02:21:24,410
the donation segment because all those douchebags who

4012
02:21:24,410 --> 02:21:25,890
skip over it, they miss all the best

4013
02:21:25,890 --> 02:21:26,210
stuff.

4014
02:21:27,490 --> 02:21:29,390
It's like our little secret, our little secret.

4015
02:21:29,470 --> 02:21:30,810
Don't tell, please, don't.

4016
02:21:30,890 --> 02:21:32,830
If you're listening now, don't tell anybody.

4017
02:21:33,930 --> 02:21:35,150
You say, yeah, I heard that.

4018
02:21:35,210 --> 02:21:36,110
And they're like, well, you heard that on

4019
02:21:36,110 --> 02:21:36,470
NOAA agenda?

4020
02:21:36,590 --> 02:21:37,050
Yeah, I heard it.

4021
02:21:37,050 --> 02:21:37,530
You didn't hear it?

4022
02:21:37,530 --> 02:21:38,010
What's wrong with you?

4023
02:21:38,050 --> 02:21:39,090
Your ears clogged or something?

4024
02:21:39,470 --> 02:21:40,990
Did you listen to the right show?

4025
02:21:41,010 --> 02:21:41,610
What's wrong with you?

4026
02:21:43,650 --> 02:21:46,430
Linda Lou Patkin, Lakewood, Colorado, $200.

4027
02:21:46,690 --> 02:21:47,050
Oh, here we go.

4028
02:21:48,810 --> 02:21:50,390
Let me get ready for it.

4029
02:21:50,410 --> 02:21:51,350
I'll make sure I do this right.

4030
02:21:51,510 --> 02:21:52,750
It's time for me to do a perfect

4031
02:21:52,750 --> 02:21:53,030
read.

4032
02:21:54,310 --> 02:21:56,090
And she says, jobs karma.

4033
02:21:56,470 --> 02:21:58,390
Go to imagemakersinc.com.

4034
02:21:58,450 --> 02:21:58,870
Why?

4035
02:21:59,030 --> 02:22:01,050
Because you'll get a resume that gets results.

4036
02:22:01,410 --> 02:22:03,390
That's Image Makers Inc with a K for

4037
02:22:03,390 --> 02:22:06,030
all your executive resume and job search needs

4038
02:22:06,030 --> 02:22:09,030
and work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs

4039
02:22:09,030 --> 02:22:10,350
and writer of resumes.

4040
02:22:10,350 --> 02:22:14,110
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4041
02:22:14,250 --> 02:22:15,230
Let's vote for jobs.

4042
02:22:15,230 --> 02:22:15,430
Woo!

4043
02:22:15,970 --> 02:22:16,550
Nailed it!

4044
02:22:17,450 --> 02:22:17,850
Oh my.

4045
02:22:18,930 --> 02:22:20,610
And last on the list or close to

4046
02:22:20,610 --> 02:22:24,950
the last is Giselle Woodses.

4047
02:22:26,310 --> 02:22:26,750
Gisella.

4048
02:22:26,990 --> 02:22:27,550
It's Gisella.

4049
02:22:30,210 --> 02:22:31,090
Gisella Woodses.

4050
02:22:33,510 --> 02:22:35,350
Wadses, Wadses, Wadses.

4051
02:22:35,470 --> 02:22:36,050
There you go.

4052
02:22:36,130 --> 02:22:38,770
W-O-D-Z-I-S-E.

4053
02:22:38,930 --> 02:22:39,870
I'm not sure how to pronounce it.

4054
02:22:40,350 --> 02:22:42,290
Seems like a Polish name and I should

4055
02:22:42,290 --> 02:22:43,370
be able to pronounce it.

4056
02:22:43,630 --> 02:22:45,990
North Royalton, Ohio, 200 bucks.

4057
02:22:46,510 --> 02:22:48,230
My name is Gisella.

4058
02:22:49,270 --> 02:22:49,930
It's Italian.

4059
02:22:51,310 --> 02:22:52,430
Woodses, Polish.

4060
02:22:52,690 --> 02:22:53,130
I was right.

4061
02:22:53,730 --> 02:22:57,610
I submitted $200 donation today for my smoking

4062
02:22:57,610 --> 02:23:00,730
hot husband, Tom, for his birthday this Friday,

4063
02:23:00,890 --> 02:23:02,070
January 17th.

4064
02:23:02,330 --> 02:23:03,010
He's on the list.

4065
02:23:04,190 --> 02:23:06,450
Tom introduced me to the show a year

4066
02:23:06,450 --> 02:23:07,310
or two ago.

4067
02:23:07,310 --> 02:23:10,450
I was reluctant at first but gave it

4068
02:23:10,450 --> 02:23:13,470
another shot and have been a loyal listener

4069
02:23:13,470 --> 02:23:14,230
ever since.

4070
02:23:14,950 --> 02:23:16,610
We both need a de-douching.

4071
02:23:18,370 --> 02:23:20,070
You've been de-douched.

4072
02:23:21,590 --> 02:23:24,070
Keep up the great work and we love

4073
02:23:24,070 --> 02:23:24,590
the show.

4074
02:23:24,810 --> 02:23:25,950
Four more years.

4075
02:23:26,130 --> 02:23:26,930
There you go.

4076
02:23:27,190 --> 02:23:29,390
And that completes our list of executive and

4077
02:23:29,390 --> 02:23:33,330
associate executive producers interspersed with some clips other

4078
02:23:33,330 --> 02:23:34,190
people will not hear.

4079
02:23:34,270 --> 02:23:36,390
Welcome to the exclusive donation club, everybody.

4080
02:23:36,390 --> 02:23:37,370
It's good to have you here.

4081
02:23:37,710 --> 02:23:39,970
We'll be thanking people $50 and above.

4082
02:23:40,070 --> 02:23:41,770
And of course, we always love our sustaining

4083
02:23:41,770 --> 02:23:42,170
donors.

4084
02:23:42,330 --> 02:23:44,230
You can go to noagendadonations.com.

4085
02:23:44,350 --> 02:23:45,290
Enter any amount.

4086
02:23:45,690 --> 02:23:46,430
Any frequency.

4087
02:23:46,470 --> 02:23:47,310
Could be small.

4088
02:23:47,470 --> 02:23:48,110
Just keep it going.

4089
02:23:48,270 --> 02:23:48,770
Keep it coming.

4090
02:23:49,290 --> 02:23:50,250
Set it and forget it.

4091
02:23:50,830 --> 02:23:51,710
Noagendadonations.com.

4092
02:23:51,790 --> 02:23:53,710
Thank you again to our executive and associate

4093
02:23:53,710 --> 02:23:56,050
executive producers for 1730.

4094
02:23:56,390 --> 02:23:57,710
Our formula is this.

4095
02:23:58,530 --> 02:23:59,210
We go out.

4096
02:23:59,770 --> 02:24:01,050
We hit people in the mouth.

4097
02:24:08,370 --> 02:24:10,490
Don't sniff me, Joe Biden.

4098
02:24:17,930 --> 02:24:18,610
Nice.

4099
02:24:21,350 --> 02:24:22,750
Okay, it's starting.

4100
02:24:23,150 --> 02:24:23,790
It's starting.

4101
02:24:23,990 --> 02:24:24,510
It's starting.

4102
02:24:24,890 --> 02:24:27,810
We heard the Surgeon General come out and

4103
02:24:27,810 --> 02:24:30,330
say, drinking gives you cancer.

4104
02:24:31,490 --> 02:24:33,790
Which, of course, has been known for many

4105
02:24:33,790 --> 02:24:34,030
years.

4106
02:24:34,030 --> 02:24:37,030
I think it already is on many labels

4107
02:24:37,030 --> 02:24:37,530
already.

4108
02:24:38,330 --> 02:24:41,310
May cause cancer or may cause birth defects.

4109
02:24:41,650 --> 02:24:43,630
I mean, it's not like an unknown thing.

4110
02:24:44,310 --> 02:24:46,010
But then the Surgeon General came out.

4111
02:24:46,050 --> 02:24:47,050
It was a whole flurry.

4112
02:24:47,330 --> 02:24:49,910
And we were like, you know, maybe there's

4113
02:24:49,910 --> 02:24:51,750
some report that's going to drop.

4114
02:24:51,870 --> 02:24:54,310
Maybe something bad is going to happen.

4115
02:24:54,550 --> 02:24:57,790
I will note that although not in the

4116
02:24:57,790 --> 02:25:04,190
United States, the Daily Mail reports another mystery

4117
02:25:04,190 --> 02:25:11,330
cancer explosion, unexpected surge, death rates double, making

4118
02:25:11,330 --> 02:25:14,270
it UK's fastest rising cancer killer.

4119
02:25:14,410 --> 02:25:17,930
And it's liver cancer, interestingly enough.

4120
02:25:18,250 --> 02:25:21,290
Here in the United States, we are clearly,

4121
02:25:21,850 --> 02:25:23,490
and this goes back to a very old

4122
02:25:23,490 --> 02:25:26,950
no agenda theory, clearly want to kill people

4123
02:25:26,950 --> 02:25:29,130
by making them drink more.

4124
02:25:29,370 --> 02:25:31,210
Joining us now is professor at Northwestern University

4125
02:25:31,210 --> 02:25:33,970
Medical School and WGN Morning News medical contributor,

4126
02:25:34,170 --> 02:25:34,950
Dr. Lauren Streicher.

4127
02:25:35,010 --> 02:25:35,390
Good morning.

4128
02:25:35,570 --> 02:25:36,110
Good morning.

4129
02:25:37,190 --> 02:25:38,830
Alcohol and the Surgeon General.

4130
02:25:38,970 --> 02:25:41,110
What is this big topic of discussion?

4131
02:25:41,170 --> 02:25:43,310
Because, of course, the Surgeon General wants there

4132
02:25:43,310 --> 02:25:45,690
to be a warning on every bottle of

4133
02:25:45,690 --> 02:25:46,970
alcohol, not just a warning, but like a

4134
02:25:46,970 --> 02:25:49,270
neon sign that says, do not drink this.

4135
02:25:49,270 --> 02:25:54,030
Now, we know from the cigarette warnings in

4136
02:25:54,030 --> 02:25:57,290
Europe, when you have big signs that say

4137
02:25:57,290 --> 02:26:00,270
this is going to kill you, what happens,

4138
02:26:00,490 --> 02:26:00,870
John?

4139
02:26:02,210 --> 02:26:03,310
Sales go up.

4140
02:26:03,550 --> 02:26:05,630
And when you look at this controversy, there's

4141
02:26:05,630 --> 02:26:07,190
really a lot of different aspects because there's

4142
02:26:07,190 --> 02:26:09,390
the medical and then there's the political and

4143
02:26:09,390 --> 02:26:11,570
then there's the financial and then there's the

4144
02:26:11,570 --> 02:26:11,850
cultural.

4145
02:26:11,970 --> 02:26:13,170
So let's stick to the medical for a

4146
02:26:13,170 --> 02:26:13,670
second, OK?

4147
02:26:13,750 --> 02:26:15,450
It is not a controversy.

4148
02:26:15,450 --> 02:26:17,370
We've known this for a long time, that

4149
02:26:17,370 --> 02:26:20,050
alcohol is associated with seven different kinds of

4150
02:26:20,050 --> 02:26:21,210
cancers, maybe more.

4151
02:26:21,830 --> 02:26:22,310
Breast cancer.

4152
02:26:22,510 --> 02:26:24,750
One out of six women that has breast

4153
02:26:24,750 --> 02:26:27,470
cancer, it can be attributed to alcohol.

4154
02:26:27,650 --> 02:26:29,890
A lot of other, of course, medical conditions

4155
02:26:29,890 --> 02:26:31,350
that go along with alcohol.

4156
02:26:31,750 --> 02:26:32,730
Not a controversy.

4157
02:26:33,990 --> 02:26:35,890
Fifty percent of people, there was a study

4158
02:26:35,890 --> 02:26:36,910
that was done, have no clue.

4159
02:26:37,210 --> 02:26:38,170
They do not know.

4160
02:26:38,250 --> 02:26:40,070
They are not aware that drinking alcohol can

4161
02:26:40,070 --> 02:26:41,990
cause cancer, which is what this is all

4162
02:26:41,990 --> 02:26:42,170
about.

4163
02:26:42,170 --> 02:26:45,570
So the controversy is, how much?

4164
02:26:46,090 --> 02:26:48,610
Is it OK to have a little alcohol?

4165
02:26:49,150 --> 02:26:50,550
Should there be no alcohol?

4166
02:26:50,910 --> 02:26:53,350
Medical experts are all over the map on

4167
02:26:53,350 --> 02:26:55,630
that because there's so many other circumstances that

4168
02:26:55,630 --> 02:26:58,250
are going to impact on how much alcohol

4169
02:26:58,250 --> 02:27:00,710
is going to harm someone, other risk factors

4170
02:27:00,710 --> 02:27:01,630
for cancer, etc.

4171
02:27:02,150 --> 02:27:03,830
But that doesn't really matter.

4172
02:27:04,230 --> 02:27:06,530
What really matters is the idea that there

4173
02:27:06,530 --> 02:27:07,970
is an association.

4174
02:27:08,590 --> 02:27:10,430
But then we get into the bigger picture.

4175
02:27:10,430 --> 02:27:12,110
OK, first of all, is it going to

4176
02:27:12,110 --> 02:27:12,770
make a difference?

4177
02:27:13,030 --> 02:27:15,130
Now, how many people read those teeny little

4178
02:27:15,130 --> 02:27:15,610
labels?

4179
02:27:15,710 --> 02:27:17,450
Is that going to change their activity?

4180
02:27:17,630 --> 02:27:19,030
Is that going to change their decision making

4181
02:27:19,030 --> 02:27:19,530
process?

4182
02:27:19,830 --> 02:27:20,930
No, no.

4183
02:27:21,230 --> 02:27:22,550
We need the big labels.

4184
02:27:22,990 --> 02:27:23,470
Big labels.

4185
02:27:23,990 --> 02:27:25,390
In fact, they're not going to read a

4186
02:27:25,390 --> 02:27:25,530
little.

4187
02:27:25,670 --> 02:27:27,250
They don't even read the label on the

4188
02:27:27,250 --> 02:27:28,030
bottle itself.

4189
02:27:28,330 --> 02:27:30,210
I mean, you're just like you.

4190
02:27:31,010 --> 02:27:32,410
Hey, so what was that wine you had?

4191
02:27:32,430 --> 02:27:33,850
Oh, I had a great wine the other

4192
02:27:33,850 --> 02:27:34,330
day at dinner.

4193
02:27:34,410 --> 02:27:34,830
What was it?

4194
02:27:34,850 --> 02:27:35,290
What was it?

4195
02:27:35,290 --> 02:27:35,930
What was it called?

4196
02:27:36,050 --> 02:27:36,570
It was red.

4197
02:27:36,850 --> 02:27:37,650
It was a red wine.

4198
02:27:37,690 --> 02:27:38,650
I don't know what it was called.

4199
02:27:38,650 --> 02:27:40,930
Nobody even looks at the label, let alone

4200
02:27:40,930 --> 02:27:41,790
the little label.

4201
02:27:43,110 --> 02:27:48,290
So, of course, we are suggesting that possibly,

4202
02:27:48,570 --> 02:27:52,970
possibly, some of these COVID vaccines might possibly

4203
02:27:52,970 --> 02:27:54,310
have been responsible.

4204
02:27:54,510 --> 02:27:58,270
The timing seems to correlate with correlation is

4205
02:27:58,270 --> 02:27:59,130
not causation.

4206
02:27:59,610 --> 02:28:04,130
But over in the UK, something interesting is

4207
02:28:04,130 --> 02:28:04,610
happening.

4208
02:28:05,690 --> 02:28:09,670
Dozens of British women, after having their COVID

4209
02:28:09,670 --> 02:28:12,470
jabs, are reporting ballooning breasts.

4210
02:28:13,230 --> 02:28:15,050
Yes, we've had a clip about this a

4211
02:28:15,050 --> 02:28:17,730
couple of shows, two, three shows ago, and

4212
02:28:17,730 --> 02:28:19,410
I was convinced at the time, and I'm

4213
02:28:19,410 --> 02:28:21,470
now more convinced than ever with this newest

4214
02:28:21,470 --> 02:28:23,730
report, that this is a marketing ploy.

4215
02:28:23,870 --> 02:28:25,270
It's a great marketing ploy.

4216
02:28:25,330 --> 02:28:26,010
They have pictures.

4217
02:28:26,950 --> 02:28:28,390
They have before and after.

4218
02:28:30,330 --> 02:28:32,410
But I'm saying it's not just a little.

4219
02:28:33,130 --> 02:28:36,710
This, like, boom, woman went from a B

4220
02:28:36,710 --> 02:28:39,270
cup to a triple G within six months.

4221
02:28:39,590 --> 02:28:41,710
Well, yeah, that was the...

4222
02:28:41,710 --> 02:28:43,290
But it's only Pfizer.

4223
02:28:43,830 --> 02:28:45,770
So I think your theory is right.

4224
02:28:46,030 --> 02:28:46,390
Of course.

4225
02:28:46,550 --> 02:28:48,050
I think your theory is right.

4226
02:28:48,270 --> 02:28:49,090
I think you're right.

4227
02:28:49,190 --> 02:28:50,630
It is only Pfizer.

4228
02:28:50,910 --> 02:28:51,190
Yes.

4229
02:28:53,550 --> 02:28:56,670
We do luckily have a new ploy by

4230
02:28:56,670 --> 02:28:59,830
the pharmaceutical industrial complex known as PIC.

4231
02:29:01,510 --> 02:29:03,270
And they've come up...

4232
02:29:03,270 --> 02:29:06,750
So desperately, we desperately need to get Ozempic

4233
02:29:06,750 --> 02:29:10,590
and other GLP-1 drugs into Medicare.

4234
02:29:10,830 --> 02:29:11,370
We need it.

4235
02:29:11,510 --> 02:29:12,410
Americans need it.

4236
02:29:13,010 --> 02:29:18,110
So if it's going to be obesity, we

4237
02:29:18,110 --> 02:29:19,710
don't have enough obese people.

4238
02:29:20,170 --> 02:29:22,010
So what do you do in the world

4239
02:29:22,010 --> 02:29:26,050
of marketing if obesity will be the trigger

4240
02:29:26,050 --> 02:29:31,550
to get your GLP-1, Reed, Norvo Nordisk

4241
02:29:31,550 --> 02:29:36,950
products paid for by the society?

4242
02:29:38,290 --> 02:29:40,430
I mean, we've got a lot of obese

4243
02:29:40,430 --> 02:29:41,730
people, but it's just not enough.

4244
02:29:41,850 --> 02:29:44,490
What can we do to get more people

4245
02:29:44,490 --> 02:29:45,030
on this?

4246
02:29:45,530 --> 02:29:46,670
Come on, you're a marketing guy.

4247
02:29:46,730 --> 02:29:47,330
You know this.

4248
02:29:48,610 --> 02:29:51,850
Well, erectile dysfunction is your basic thesis.

4249
02:29:51,990 --> 02:29:53,430
I think that would be the best one

4250
02:29:53,430 --> 02:29:53,810
to do.

4251
02:29:53,890 --> 02:29:54,410
No, no, no.

4252
02:29:54,510 --> 02:29:55,990
Have we gotten to that yet?

4253
02:29:56,150 --> 02:29:56,710
Not yet.

4254
02:29:56,770 --> 02:29:57,430
We're not there yet.

4255
02:29:57,430 --> 02:29:58,430
No, this is even better.

4256
02:29:58,610 --> 02:29:59,550
This is even better.

4257
02:29:59,690 --> 02:29:59,890
Health check.

4258
02:29:59,990 --> 02:30:01,610
New guidance from a team of health experts

4259
02:30:01,610 --> 02:30:04,090
around the world proposes expanding the definition of

4260
02:30:04,090 --> 02:30:04,510
obesity.

4261
02:30:04,850 --> 02:30:07,550
We need to expand the definition of obesity.

4262
02:30:08,250 --> 02:30:08,430
Yeah.

4263
02:30:08,530 --> 02:30:10,390
My doctor once pointed out to me years

4264
02:30:10,390 --> 02:30:13,390
ago about how the levels of what's safe

4265
02:30:13,390 --> 02:30:14,130
cholesterol.

4266
02:30:14,450 --> 02:30:14,890
Exactly.

4267
02:30:14,890 --> 02:30:17,010
He's watching over 30 years, keeps going up.

4268
02:30:17,130 --> 02:30:17,330
Yeah.

4269
02:30:17,590 --> 02:30:19,870
The pills, they peak out at the status

4270
02:30:19,870 --> 02:30:20,270
peak.

4271
02:30:20,390 --> 02:30:22,270
Ah, let's just jack the number up.

4272
02:30:22,590 --> 02:30:22,930
Health check.

4273
02:30:23,030 --> 02:30:24,670
New guidance from a team of health experts

4274
02:30:24,670 --> 02:30:27,110
around the world proposes expanding the definition of

4275
02:30:27,110 --> 02:30:27,550
obesity.

4276
02:30:27,830 --> 02:30:30,650
The commission on clinical obesity recommends reducing the

4277
02:30:30,650 --> 02:30:33,370
emphasis on body mass index, known as BMI.

4278
02:30:33,570 --> 02:30:36,550
The panel proposed also taking into account someone's

4279
02:30:36,550 --> 02:30:38,830
body fat measurements and the presence of existing

4280
02:30:38,830 --> 02:30:41,690
health issues when diagnosing someone as obese.

4281
02:30:41,910 --> 02:30:45,070
The report also introduces two new diagnostic categories,

4282
02:30:45,310 --> 02:30:47,990
clinical obesity and preclinical obesity.

4283
02:30:48,510 --> 02:30:54,690
Oh, no, preclinical, preclinical, pre-obesity, pre-obesity.

4284
02:30:54,810 --> 02:30:55,770
Why don't you just call it that?

4285
02:30:55,770 --> 02:30:56,830
Well, they will.

4286
02:30:57,030 --> 02:30:57,870
I'm pre-obese.

4287
02:30:58,570 --> 02:31:00,450
This is unbelievable.

4288
02:31:00,850 --> 02:31:02,130
No, it's completely believable.

4289
02:31:02,770 --> 02:31:04,490
Meanwhile, it's totally.

4290
02:31:04,950 --> 02:31:05,810
Where's Kennedy?

4291
02:31:07,050 --> 02:31:11,050
Doctors have have discovered that there is a

4292
02:31:11,050 --> 02:31:14,490
yet another new side effect of these GLP

4293
02:31:14,490 --> 02:31:19,470
-1 products, a condition called allodynia.

4294
02:31:20,370 --> 02:31:21,530
Oh, the eyeball thing?

4295
02:31:21,530 --> 02:31:24,410
No, it's hypersensitivity to pain.

4296
02:31:26,330 --> 02:31:30,230
Wearing clothing can even feel painful, even wind

4297
02:31:30,230 --> 02:31:31,690
blowing on your skin.

4298
02:31:32,810 --> 02:31:34,110
But that's not good.

4299
02:31:35,570 --> 02:31:38,330
But we haven't discussed the blindness thing, too.

4300
02:31:38,370 --> 02:31:39,630
That was the real kicker.

4301
02:31:39,830 --> 02:31:41,130
No, we talked about the blindness.

4302
02:31:41,350 --> 02:31:43,190
We talked about the blindness.

4303
02:31:43,690 --> 02:31:45,930
Some people describe the sensation on their skin

4304
02:31:45,930 --> 02:31:48,330
as being like bad sunburn with the sensation

4305
02:31:48,330 --> 02:31:51,490
of touch triggering a sharp, stinging or burning

4306
02:31:51,490 --> 02:31:52,110
pain.

4307
02:31:53,390 --> 02:31:54,730
This is just.

4308
02:31:56,270 --> 02:31:58,670
Are they taking ecstasy with this and getting

4309
02:31:58,670 --> 02:31:59,850
this combination effect?

4310
02:32:00,310 --> 02:32:01,090
I don't know.

4311
02:32:01,430 --> 02:32:03,610
Dr. Dvorak, once again, you make a valid

4312
02:32:03,610 --> 02:32:03,970
point.

4313
02:32:04,870 --> 02:32:08,450
And down under in Australia, we have actually

4314
02:32:08,450 --> 02:32:11,430
found something in mosquitoes that can kill us.

4315
02:32:12,050 --> 02:32:13,010
It's great.

4316
02:32:13,210 --> 02:32:14,110
And it's from Japan.

4317
02:32:14,450 --> 02:32:16,470
Tiny carriers of a deadly disease.

4318
02:32:16,470 --> 02:32:19,750
Seizures, severe brain damage and death.

4319
02:32:20,110 --> 02:32:23,090
Japanese encephalitis is endemic to the Torres Strait

4320
02:32:23,090 --> 02:32:23,730
and Asia.

4321
02:32:24,190 --> 02:32:26,770
There, it causes around 20,000 deaths each

4322
02:32:26,770 --> 02:32:27,130
year.

4323
02:32:27,270 --> 02:32:31,090
Health authorities have issued a nationwide Japanese encephalitis

4324
02:32:31,090 --> 02:32:31,810
alert.

4325
02:32:32,030 --> 02:32:33,010
In early 2022.

4326
02:32:33,490 --> 02:32:34,850
Hold on, stop the clip.

4327
02:32:36,390 --> 02:32:39,850
20,000 a year now coming to light.

4328
02:32:39,910 --> 02:32:40,790
Are you kidding me?

4329
02:32:41,850 --> 02:32:43,770
That number is way too high.

4330
02:32:43,930 --> 02:32:44,810
I'm not kidding you.

4331
02:32:44,810 --> 02:32:46,890
I'm just playing clips on a podcast.

4332
02:32:47,710 --> 02:32:52,170
It's it's Japanese encephalitis, which they say encephalitis

4333
02:32:52,170 --> 02:32:52,930
for some reason.

4334
02:32:53,110 --> 02:32:55,930
But we say encephalitis, which is your brain

4335
02:32:55,930 --> 02:32:58,370
swelling until it blows out of your head.

4336
02:32:58,610 --> 02:33:01,290
Nationwide Japanese encephalitis alert.

4337
02:33:01,610 --> 02:33:04,890
In early 2022, Australia had its first cluster,

4338
02:33:05,290 --> 02:33:07,430
31 cases and six deaths.

4339
02:33:07,430 --> 02:33:09,570
And now an ominous warning.

4340
02:33:09,770 --> 02:33:11,190
In the worst case scenario, it's like we

4341
02:33:11,190 --> 02:33:13,790
think that at most seven to 800,000

4342
02:33:13,790 --> 02:33:16,270
people could be exposed.

4343
02:33:16,590 --> 02:33:18,670
The virus is traced back to wading birds,

4344
02:33:18,810 --> 02:33:20,690
which are flocking in greater numbers to new

4345
02:33:20,690 --> 02:33:23,670
wetlands that have been created by Queensland's third

4346
02:33:23,670 --> 02:33:24,610
La Nina event.

4347
02:33:25,030 --> 02:33:27,310
Mosquitoes then spread the virus from birds to

4348
02:33:27,310 --> 02:33:27,710
humans.

4349
02:33:28,150 --> 02:33:30,050
It can also be transmitted through pigs.

4350
02:33:30,290 --> 02:33:32,430
A very large number of pig farms became

4351
02:33:32,430 --> 02:33:33,550
infected.

4352
02:33:33,850 --> 02:33:36,130
One in 25 people exposed to the virus

4353
02:33:36,130 --> 02:33:37,630
are estimated to catch it.

4354
02:33:37,630 --> 02:33:40,990
Most are asymptomatic, but symptoms can range from

4355
02:33:40,990 --> 02:33:42,090
fever to seizures.

4356
02:33:42,530 --> 02:33:44,390
A large number, unfortunately, go on to die

4357
02:33:44,390 --> 02:33:47,430
because there is no drug treatment for Japanese

4358
02:33:47,430 --> 02:33:48,030
encephalitis.

4359
02:33:48,510 --> 02:33:50,750
And of those people who survive, then a

4360
02:33:50,750 --> 02:33:53,050
large number also go on to exhibit significant

4361
02:33:53,050 --> 02:33:54,230
neurological kind of issues.

4362
02:33:54,570 --> 02:33:57,010
There are two vaccines available, but supply is

4363
02:33:57,010 --> 02:33:57,330
limited.

4364
02:33:57,650 --> 02:33:59,770
The worst case scenario, then there are there

4365
02:33:59,770 --> 02:34:01,630
are many more people who need vaccination than

4366
02:34:01,630 --> 02:34:03,350
we have than we have doses of vaccine.

4367
02:34:03,910 --> 02:34:05,610
So I think that's where the extreme concern

4368
02:34:05,610 --> 02:34:06,190
comes from.

4369
02:34:06,190 --> 02:34:07,410
I'm very concerned.

4370
02:34:07,550 --> 02:34:08,430
Extreme concern.

4371
02:34:08,550 --> 02:34:09,410
Not enough vaccines.

4372
02:34:09,530 --> 02:34:09,910
Pre-order.

4373
02:34:10,150 --> 02:34:10,790
Pre-order them.

4374
02:34:12,970 --> 02:34:13,930
Japanese encephalitis.

4375
02:34:15,270 --> 02:34:17,310
Is that all these guys do on the

4376
02:34:17,310 --> 02:34:19,210
news thing is try to scare the public?

4377
02:34:19,470 --> 02:34:19,710
Yeah.

4378
02:34:20,010 --> 02:34:22,570
And then promote vaccines and scare the public,

4379
02:34:22,750 --> 02:34:23,450
promote vaccines.

4380
02:34:23,550 --> 02:34:24,490
That's their job.

4381
02:34:24,690 --> 02:34:24,910
Yes.

4382
02:34:27,470 --> 02:34:30,410
So MSNBC president Rashida Jones is out.

4383
02:34:31,030 --> 02:34:31,510
Yes.

4384
02:34:31,610 --> 02:34:32,150
She's out.

4385
02:34:32,150 --> 02:34:33,030
She was on her way out.

4386
02:34:33,030 --> 02:34:38,190
Meanwhile, Rachel Maddow, your gal, will host nightly

4387
02:34:38,190 --> 02:34:41,630
shows on MSNBC for Trump's first 100 days.

4388
02:34:41,750 --> 02:34:42,670
We're all excited.

4389
02:34:43,970 --> 02:34:45,370
They're paying her so much money.

4390
02:34:45,470 --> 02:34:46,950
Somebody took a look at the books and

4391
02:34:46,950 --> 02:34:48,510
said, can we make this girl work a

4392
02:34:48,510 --> 02:34:49,230
little bit more?

4393
02:34:49,530 --> 02:34:50,430
No kidding.

4394
02:34:50,870 --> 02:34:53,590
And Chuck Dodd has left NBC once again.

4395
02:34:54,790 --> 02:34:57,850
I thought he was left for good last

4396
02:34:57,850 --> 02:34:58,130
time.

4397
02:34:58,150 --> 02:34:58,750
He keeps leaving.

4398
02:34:59,070 --> 02:35:00,170
When did he get back?

4399
02:35:00,250 --> 02:35:01,310
I didn't hear that part.

4400
02:35:01,310 --> 02:35:05,530
He had a contract for specials or whatever.

4401
02:35:06,730 --> 02:35:09,370
Chuck Todd has quietly been meeting with Washington

4402
02:35:09,370 --> 02:35:12,630
media organizations about his post NBC future.

4403
02:35:12,750 --> 02:35:13,730
Oh, I know where he's going.

4404
02:35:13,850 --> 02:35:15,670
He's going to work for Jennifer Rubin.

4405
02:35:15,830 --> 02:35:16,810
Yes, of course.

4406
02:35:17,830 --> 02:35:19,850
I'm here at the, what was it?

4407
02:35:20,250 --> 02:35:21,490
The contrarian.

4408
02:35:22,570 --> 02:35:23,150
Contrarian.

4409
02:35:25,470 --> 02:35:26,670
Contrary to what?

4410
02:35:27,310 --> 02:35:28,750
Contrary to good content.

4411
02:35:28,770 --> 02:35:29,430
What are they contrary to?

4412
02:35:29,430 --> 02:35:31,210
Sounds like a bunch of Democrat, you know,

4413
02:35:31,270 --> 02:35:32,430
knee-jerk Democrats.

4414
02:35:32,810 --> 02:35:34,430
Chuck Todd will be the new Joe Rogan

4415
02:35:34,430 --> 02:35:35,010
of the left.

4416
02:35:36,950 --> 02:35:37,410
We're looking.

4417
02:35:37,730 --> 02:35:41,750
Some say it's going to be Kelsey's girlfriend

4418
02:35:41,750 --> 02:35:42,310
or wife.

4419
02:35:42,390 --> 02:35:42,810
What's her name?

4420
02:35:42,890 --> 02:35:43,170
Tyler.

4421
02:35:43,370 --> 02:35:44,010
Is her name Tyler?

4422
02:35:44,970 --> 02:35:45,770
Tyler Kelsey.

4423
02:35:47,550 --> 02:35:47,950
Taylor.

4424
02:35:48,390 --> 02:35:49,030
Is it Taylor?

4425
02:35:49,930 --> 02:35:51,190
Taylor Swift Kelsey.

4426
02:35:51,370 --> 02:35:52,650
No, no, no, no, no, no.

4427
02:35:52,650 --> 02:35:53,430
It's the sister.

4428
02:35:54,190 --> 02:35:55,570
It's the, ah, hold on a second.

4429
02:35:56,190 --> 02:35:57,230
I need to know this.

4430
02:35:57,270 --> 02:35:59,110
This is gossip that I'm unaware of.

4431
02:35:59,110 --> 02:35:59,530
Tyler.

4432
02:36:00,590 --> 02:36:00,890
Yes.

4433
02:36:01,550 --> 02:36:03,370
Which is a male name.

4434
02:36:03,430 --> 02:36:04,130
I should mention.

4435
02:36:04,390 --> 02:36:04,990
Is it not?

4436
02:36:05,130 --> 02:36:06,190
Maybe it's not Tyler.

4437
02:36:06,410 --> 02:36:07,090
Oh, man.

4438
02:36:07,950 --> 02:36:08,450
Let me see.

4439
02:36:08,530 --> 02:36:09,130
Hold on a second.

4440
02:36:10,870 --> 02:36:12,790
Kelsey woman troll room.

4441
02:36:12,910 --> 02:36:13,370
Get to work.

4442
02:36:13,650 --> 02:36:14,790
Kelsey woman podcast.

4443
02:36:14,930 --> 02:36:15,350
Let me see.

4444
02:36:15,450 --> 02:36:16,130
What's her name?

4445
02:36:16,850 --> 02:36:17,230
Kylie.

4446
02:36:17,490 --> 02:36:18,230
It's Kylie.

4447
02:36:19,070 --> 02:36:20,790
Not going to lie with Kylie.

4448
02:36:21,190 --> 02:36:21,810
There you go.

4449
02:36:21,890 --> 02:36:23,350
Not going to lie with Kylie.

4450
02:36:23,770 --> 02:36:24,490
It's great.

4451
02:36:24,570 --> 02:36:25,570
It's highly produced.

4452
02:36:25,790 --> 02:36:28,410
Each episode is exactly 45 minutes.

4453
02:36:29,130 --> 02:36:31,690
No, that's podcasting at its essence.

4454
02:36:34,530 --> 02:36:36,610
And she does clips on YouTube.

4455
02:36:37,090 --> 02:36:39,190
Not going to lie with Kylie Kelsey.

4456
02:36:39,630 --> 02:36:41,130
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

4457
02:36:41,330 --> 02:36:43,070
It's presented by Dunkin Donuts.

4458
02:36:44,630 --> 02:36:46,230
So, you know, it's quality.

4459
02:36:49,910 --> 02:36:51,650
The audience is targeted.

4460
02:36:52,330 --> 02:36:53,650
Play your mic clip, man.

4461
02:36:53,670 --> 02:36:54,690
I want to play the mic clip.

4462
02:36:54,790 --> 02:36:55,670
This is great news.

4463
02:36:56,750 --> 02:36:58,470
Tina said, did you hear about this?

4464
02:36:58,470 --> 02:36:58,790
What?

4465
02:36:59,350 --> 02:37:00,610
All right, here we go.

4466
02:37:01,930 --> 02:37:02,910
The mic clip is good.

4467
02:37:03,150 --> 02:37:05,650
Former First Lady Michelle Obama has confirmed she

4468
02:37:05,650 --> 02:37:08,670
will not attend the upcoming inauguration of President

4469
02:37:08,670 --> 02:37:10,790
-elect Trump on January 20th.

4470
02:37:11,150 --> 02:37:13,950
Her husband, former President Barack Obama, will be

4471
02:37:13,950 --> 02:37:14,410
present.

4472
02:37:15,050 --> 02:37:17,890
The Obama's office provided no reason for Michelle

4473
02:37:17,890 --> 02:37:18,890
Obama's absence.

4474
02:37:19,310 --> 02:37:21,790
Her decision follows a similar move earlier this

4475
02:37:21,790 --> 02:37:23,990
month when she did not attend the state

4476
02:37:23,990 --> 02:37:26,110
funeral for former President Jimmy Carter.

4477
02:37:26,590 --> 02:37:28,090
Oh, they didn't have the money shot.

4478
02:37:28,830 --> 02:37:29,530
The money.

4479
02:37:29,530 --> 02:37:30,110
What is it?

4480
02:37:30,210 --> 02:37:33,470
The money shot is they're heading for public

4481
02:37:33,470 --> 02:37:34,190
divorce.

4482
02:37:35,230 --> 02:37:36,450
Oh, well, nobody.

4483
02:37:36,590 --> 02:37:37,610
That's not confirmed.

4484
02:37:37,930 --> 02:37:39,190
It's in the Daily Mail.

4485
02:37:40,710 --> 02:37:42,070
It's not going to happen.

4486
02:37:42,650 --> 02:37:46,230
Michelle, you know, and also Obama is hanging

4487
02:37:46,230 --> 02:37:48,550
around Jennifer Aniston a little bit too much.

4488
02:37:49,910 --> 02:37:51,690
He's found a new guy to hang out

4489
02:37:51,690 --> 02:37:51,970
with.

4490
02:37:52,550 --> 02:37:54,790
Boy, he can charm her.

4491
02:37:55,170 --> 02:37:56,170
Oh, yes.

4492
02:37:56,170 --> 02:37:59,130
And she needs to be loved.

4493
02:38:00,830 --> 02:38:01,550
Jennifer does.

4494
02:38:01,650 --> 02:38:02,950
She really needs to be loved.

4495
02:38:02,970 --> 02:38:04,330
So I ran into her once, you know,

4496
02:38:04,410 --> 02:38:05,330
and had a chat with her.

4497
02:38:05,370 --> 02:38:05,730
Really?

4498
02:38:06,850 --> 02:38:08,450
At an airport, let me guess, at an

4499
02:38:08,450 --> 02:38:08,750
airport.

4500
02:38:09,590 --> 02:38:10,990
Yeah, she was in Austin.

4501
02:38:11,590 --> 02:38:12,850
I think you've told this story.

4502
02:38:12,930 --> 02:38:13,230
Go ahead.

4503
02:38:13,910 --> 02:38:16,070
I didn't recognize her because, you know, I

4504
02:38:16,070 --> 02:38:18,090
wasn't a big friends watcher at the time.

4505
02:38:18,970 --> 02:38:20,890
And she was, well, I noticed her, though,

4506
02:38:20,910 --> 02:38:23,730
when she was at the ticket counter because

4507
02:38:23,730 --> 02:38:24,790
she was next to me at the ticket

4508
02:38:24,790 --> 02:38:25,170
counter.

4509
02:38:26,670 --> 02:38:28,130
And so I looked at her and I

4510
02:38:28,130 --> 02:38:30,390
noticed she had a look about her, but

4511
02:38:30,390 --> 02:38:33,270
she had a, she had a, her nose

4512
02:38:33,270 --> 02:38:34,790
looked like it had been worked on a

4513
02:38:34,790 --> 02:38:34,910
lot.

4514
02:38:35,090 --> 02:38:37,410
And it was, I'm sure she used a

4515
02:38:37,410 --> 02:38:39,210
lot of makeup on it, but it looked

4516
02:38:39,210 --> 02:38:39,550
dead.

4517
02:38:39,730 --> 02:38:40,730
It was a dead nose.

4518
02:38:41,030 --> 02:38:42,630
It's hard to explain, but it was super

4519
02:38:42,630 --> 02:38:43,050
white.

4520
02:38:44,870 --> 02:38:46,470
And so I go over to the, to

4521
02:38:46,470 --> 02:38:46,790
the.

4522
02:38:46,930 --> 02:38:48,510
Hey, what's wrong with your nose?

4523
02:38:49,930 --> 02:38:51,930
Well, I'm not, I wasn't a coot at

4524
02:38:51,930 --> 02:38:52,310
the time.

4525
02:38:53,950 --> 02:38:57,010
So we go, I go to the, to

4526
02:38:57,010 --> 02:38:59,210
the check-in or the area where you

4527
02:38:59,210 --> 02:39:00,130
do boarding area.

4528
02:39:00,170 --> 02:39:01,750
And I guess she's going to get on

4529
02:39:01,750 --> 02:39:02,430
the same plane.

4530
02:39:02,770 --> 02:39:02,870
Yeah.

4531
02:39:03,370 --> 02:39:04,670
I happened to be in first class.

4532
02:39:05,030 --> 02:39:05,250
Yeah.

4533
02:39:05,410 --> 02:39:05,790
Upgrade.

4534
02:39:05,930 --> 02:39:06,410
I was upgraded.

4535
02:39:06,650 --> 02:39:06,970
I was upgraded.

4536
02:39:07,130 --> 02:39:07,490
I'm sure.

4537
02:39:07,630 --> 02:39:07,890
Yes.

4538
02:39:08,230 --> 02:39:11,770
And so there's a bunch of girls running

4539
02:39:11,770 --> 02:39:13,350
around all giddy.

4540
02:39:13,410 --> 02:39:16,110
And I called one of them aside.

4541
02:39:16,170 --> 02:39:16,890
I said, what's going on?

4542
02:39:16,910 --> 02:39:18,790
What is, what is everyone all jumpy about

4543
02:39:18,790 --> 02:39:19,250
around here?

4544
02:39:19,250 --> 02:39:22,630
She's always an actress, blah, blah, blah, blah,

4545
02:39:22,710 --> 02:39:22,810
blah.

4546
02:39:24,410 --> 02:39:25,990
She's, I said, what actress?

4547
02:39:26,110 --> 02:39:27,310
She says, she's on friends.

4548
02:39:27,410 --> 02:39:28,710
And she never told me who it was.

4549
02:39:28,790 --> 02:39:29,870
And I realized who it was.

4550
02:39:31,030 --> 02:39:33,150
Cause she lived in Austin, I guess at

4551
02:39:33,150 --> 02:39:33,530
the time.

4552
02:39:33,610 --> 02:39:35,050
And that was, this flight was going from

4553
02:39:35,050 --> 02:39:37,010
Austin to New York or Austin to LA

4554
02:39:37,010 --> 02:39:37,530
or something.

4555
02:39:37,610 --> 02:39:39,410
That's probably when she and Pitt were in

4556
02:39:39,410 --> 02:39:40,210
Austin for a bit.

4557
02:39:40,230 --> 02:39:41,570
I think they lived in Austin for a

4558
02:39:41,570 --> 02:39:41,970
little while.

4559
02:39:42,510 --> 02:39:43,030
Yeah, too.

4560
02:39:43,210 --> 02:39:43,310
Anyway.

4561
02:39:43,410 --> 02:39:45,030
So she, so we got on the plane

4562
02:39:45,030 --> 02:39:45,970
and she was right.

4563
02:39:45,970 --> 02:39:47,830
And the same aisle I was in and

4564
02:39:47,830 --> 02:39:49,170
I chatted with her for a while.

4565
02:39:49,770 --> 02:39:52,410
And you went, Hey, what did you chat

4566
02:39:52,410 --> 02:39:52,650
about?

4567
02:39:52,670 --> 02:39:54,150
And she told me she lived in Austin

4568
02:39:54,150 --> 02:39:56,630
and it was just a dumb, I was

4569
02:39:56,630 --> 02:39:59,290
going to offer a ride when I got

4570
02:39:59,290 --> 02:40:00,150
to where we were going.

4571
02:40:00,550 --> 02:40:01,850
And you saw the limo and were like,

4572
02:40:01,910 --> 02:40:02,170
oops.

4573
02:40:02,810 --> 02:40:03,910
No, it wasn't even that one.

4574
02:40:04,010 --> 02:40:06,070
As soon as the plane landed and we

4575
02:40:06,070 --> 02:40:10,190
all got out, there's like six people that

4576
02:40:10,190 --> 02:40:12,650
grabbed her to pick her up.

4577
02:40:12,730 --> 02:40:13,990
And that was the last I saw of

4578
02:40:13,990 --> 02:40:14,090
her.

4579
02:40:14,090 --> 02:40:17,650
She had an entourage waiting for her.

4580
02:40:17,790 --> 02:40:20,190
I thought she was pleasant and easy to

4581
02:40:20,190 --> 02:40:21,750
talk to, but she was obviously not going

4582
02:40:21,750 --> 02:40:24,030
to talk after she was out of the

4583
02:40:24,030 --> 02:40:24,330
plane.

4584
02:40:24,570 --> 02:40:25,850
Ladies and gentlemen, John C.

4585
02:40:26,230 --> 02:40:28,430
Dvorak's Brush with Greatness.

4586
02:40:29,290 --> 02:40:29,990
It's Brush.

4587
02:40:30,330 --> 02:40:30,910
Yeah, Brush.

4588
02:40:31,550 --> 02:40:32,330
Oh, hold on.

4589
02:40:32,650 --> 02:40:33,470
Hey, turn it off.

4590
02:40:33,570 --> 02:40:34,090
Turn off that.

4591
02:40:34,270 --> 02:40:35,850
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, don't tell me

4592
02:40:35,850 --> 02:40:36,730
how to produce the show.

4593
02:40:37,070 --> 02:40:37,350
Hey.

4594
02:40:38,450 --> 02:40:39,550
Um, okay.

4595
02:40:40,410 --> 02:40:43,150
Let me, I got a miscellaneous clip here

4596
02:40:43,150 --> 02:40:43,550
to play.

4597
02:40:44,900 --> 02:40:47,710
Oh, let's play this cultural heritage BS.

4598
02:40:48,550 --> 02:40:50,210
Cultural heritage BS.

4599
02:40:50,590 --> 02:40:51,890
It comes from NPR.

4600
02:40:52,090 --> 02:40:52,830
So obviously.

4601
02:40:53,110 --> 02:40:55,770
The World Monuments Fund has released its list

4602
02:40:55,770 --> 02:40:57,890
of most endangered places.

4603
02:40:58,510 --> 02:41:01,710
NPR's Neta Ulavi reports this year it includes

4604
02:41:01,710 --> 02:41:05,690
a Ukrainian museum damaged by Russian missiles and

4605
02:41:05,690 --> 02:41:08,950
an ancient Turkish city shaken by earthquakes.

4606
02:41:09,390 --> 02:41:11,530
The list comes out every two years.

4607
02:41:11,530 --> 02:41:14,210
The point is to raise awareness and money

4608
02:41:14,210 --> 02:41:17,490
for fragile cultural sites under threat, says World

4609
02:41:17,490 --> 02:41:20,350
Monuments Fund President Bénédicte de Moutlard.

4610
02:41:20,470 --> 02:41:23,810
Conflict and natural disaster is a very important

4611
02:41:23,810 --> 02:41:24,530
category.

4612
02:41:24,850 --> 02:41:27,210
That's why all of Gaza was included.

4613
02:41:27,870 --> 02:41:31,450
The organization said massive destruction of markets, mosques,

4614
02:41:31,670 --> 02:41:34,690
churches, and other buildings affects hearts and minds.

4615
02:41:35,310 --> 02:41:38,310
Sites endangered by climate change include historic lighthouses

4616
02:41:38,310 --> 02:41:40,750
in Maine and Africa's Swahili coast.

4617
02:41:40,750 --> 02:41:43,090
Also on the list, the moon.

4618
02:41:43,550 --> 02:41:45,370
Under threat by what the World Monuments Fund

4619
02:41:45,370 --> 02:41:48,730
describes as exploitative visitation in a space race

4620
02:41:48,730 --> 02:41:51,270
involving multiple countries and corporations.

4621
02:41:51,770 --> 02:41:54,530
Yeah, Musk has just shot off a rocket

4622
02:41:54,530 --> 02:41:56,570
to the moon without people on board.

4623
02:41:57,070 --> 02:41:59,390
And he's, you know, his space tourism is

4624
02:41:59,390 --> 02:42:01,530
going to mess up Neil Armstrong's footprints.

4625
02:42:02,570 --> 02:42:03,590
That's the story.

4626
02:42:04,790 --> 02:42:06,350
They're very upset about it.

4627
02:42:06,990 --> 02:42:09,090
Go easy with your landing there, Musk.

4628
02:42:09,730 --> 02:42:11,090
Speaking of NPR.

4629
02:42:11,690 --> 02:42:12,650
The moon.

4630
02:42:13,210 --> 02:42:16,910
Speaking of NPR, the speech police are out.

4631
02:42:17,590 --> 02:42:20,810
NPR is the speech police are telling you

4632
02:42:20,810 --> 02:42:21,670
how to talk.

4633
02:42:21,830 --> 02:42:24,550
Immigration is always in the news.

4634
02:42:24,790 --> 02:42:25,530
Yes, it is.

4635
02:42:25,570 --> 02:42:26,850
It's always in the news.

4636
02:42:26,950 --> 02:42:30,350
Late last week, President Biden extended temporary protected

4637
02:42:30,350 --> 02:42:33,450
status for folks from Venezuela, El Salvador, and

4638
02:42:33,450 --> 02:42:33,890
Ukraine.

4639
02:42:34,450 --> 02:42:37,350
And incoming President Trump has vowed to implement

4640
02:42:37,350 --> 02:42:39,610
mass deportations, among other things.

4641
02:42:40,030 --> 02:42:42,630
Just as the stories are ever evolving, so

4642
02:42:42,630 --> 02:42:44,930
too is the language we use to talk

4643
02:42:44,930 --> 02:42:45,410
about them.

4644
02:42:46,610 --> 02:42:47,370
Here we go.

4645
02:42:47,750 --> 02:42:50,690
NPR recently changed its guidance on how we

4646
02:42:50,690 --> 02:42:53,130
reporters talk about this issue on our air

4647
02:42:53,130 --> 02:42:55,110
and in pieces for our website.

4648
02:42:55,750 --> 02:42:56,310
Tony Kavan.

4649
02:42:57,070 --> 02:42:57,670
Why?

4650
02:42:59,170 --> 02:42:59,770
This is new.

4651
02:43:00,890 --> 02:43:01,750
This is new.

4652
02:43:02,370 --> 02:43:02,750
NPR.

4653
02:43:02,750 --> 02:43:03,510
I don't think so.

4654
02:43:03,510 --> 02:43:05,890
This is a British affectation.

4655
02:43:06,970 --> 02:43:08,870
The guys who used to talk like that

4656
02:43:08,870 --> 02:43:10,970
and they used to suck back.

4657
02:43:12,210 --> 02:43:12,810
Suck back.

4658
02:43:15,370 --> 02:43:16,330
It's disgusting.

4659
02:43:16,530 --> 02:43:19,230
How we reporters talk about this issue on

4660
02:43:19,230 --> 02:43:21,890
our air and in pieces for our website.

4661
02:43:22,550 --> 02:43:25,570
Tony Kavan is NPR's managing editor of standards

4662
02:43:25,570 --> 02:43:28,270
and practices, and he is here now to

4663
02:43:28,270 --> 02:43:29,510
walk us through some of the new guidance.

4664
02:43:29,650 --> 02:43:30,010
Hi, Tony.

4665
02:43:30,190 --> 02:43:30,890
Hi, Mary Louise.

4666
02:43:31,110 --> 02:43:32,170
Hi, Mary Louise.

4667
02:43:32,350 --> 02:43:32,570
Okay.

4668
02:43:33,230 --> 02:43:35,070
So I think you should take notes.

4669
02:43:35,190 --> 02:43:36,830
Get out your pen because this is how

4670
02:43:36,830 --> 02:43:39,130
we are supposed to talk about immigration.

4671
02:43:43,310 --> 02:43:44,190
Spoiler alert.

4672
02:43:45,170 --> 02:43:46,770
It's not going to be one word you

4673
02:43:46,770 --> 02:43:47,550
can use anymore.

4674
02:43:47,650 --> 02:43:49,510
I want to share with everybody the lead

4675
02:43:49,510 --> 02:43:51,550
of the email that you sent to all

4676
02:43:51,550 --> 02:43:53,890
staff landed in my inbox this morning.

4677
02:43:54,090 --> 02:43:57,550
It begins, quote, when referring to people who

4678
02:43:57,550 --> 02:43:59,810
are in the United States without the government's

4679
02:43:59,810 --> 02:44:03,150
permission going forward, we should use the term

4680
02:44:03,150 --> 02:44:05,710
people who are in the United States without

4681
02:44:05,710 --> 02:44:06,830
legal status.

4682
02:44:08,670 --> 02:44:09,190
Wow.

4683
02:44:09,790 --> 02:44:11,290
You can't say illegals.

4684
02:44:11,410 --> 02:44:12,730
You have to say people who are in

4685
02:44:12,730 --> 02:44:15,170
the United States without the proper documents.

4686
02:44:15,410 --> 02:44:15,850
Going forward.

4687
02:44:16,010 --> 02:44:18,290
We should use the term people who are

4688
02:44:18,290 --> 02:44:20,870
in the United States without legal status.

4689
02:44:21,010 --> 02:44:23,650
I think why don't they just use newcomers?

4690
02:44:23,770 --> 02:44:24,910
Newcomers was great.

4691
02:44:25,210 --> 02:44:26,750
We approved of newcomers.

4692
02:44:26,930 --> 02:44:27,230
End quote.

4693
02:44:27,350 --> 02:44:29,070
Newcomers was better than this.

4694
02:44:29,310 --> 02:44:29,430
Yeah.

4695
02:44:29,430 --> 02:44:30,630
Evan, what's the thinking here?

4696
02:44:31,390 --> 02:44:32,310
Well, two things.

4697
02:44:32,410 --> 02:44:35,110
I noticed that our own guidance was contradictory

4698
02:44:35,110 --> 02:44:38,050
about the use of the term undocumented, both

4699
02:44:38,050 --> 02:44:39,690
approving it and not approving it.

4700
02:44:39,730 --> 02:44:41,190
I just think something didn't get updated.

4701
02:44:41,290 --> 02:44:42,290
So I knew it was time to do

4702
02:44:42,290 --> 02:44:42,650
something.

4703
02:44:43,050 --> 02:44:45,230
This guy is in charge of speech at

4704
02:44:45,230 --> 02:44:45,730
NPR.

4705
02:44:46,190 --> 02:44:48,230
And I also noticed that the Associated Press

4706
02:44:48,230 --> 02:44:51,650
had stopped using undocumented as a description for

4707
02:44:51,650 --> 02:44:53,290
people who are here without the government's permission.

4708
02:44:53,570 --> 02:44:55,630
So what can we use instead of undocumented,

4709
02:44:55,970 --> 02:44:56,430
John?

4710
02:45:00,470 --> 02:45:01,350
Illegal alien.

4711
02:45:01,350 --> 02:45:02,470
That's what I would use.

4712
02:45:03,230 --> 02:45:04,630
Many of the people do have documents.

4713
02:45:04,750 --> 02:45:06,590
They don't have the right documents.

4714
02:45:06,670 --> 02:45:07,970
You got the wrong documents.

4715
02:45:08,370 --> 02:45:10,010
Oh, they got the wrong documents.

4716
02:45:10,050 --> 02:45:10,830
You got documents.

4717
02:45:11,190 --> 02:45:14,090
Yeah, they got like a business card maybe

4718
02:45:14,090 --> 02:45:16,170
or they got from the guy who brought

4719
02:45:16,170 --> 02:45:18,310
them over, the cartel business card.

4720
02:45:18,390 --> 02:45:23,350
They might have a safe house address written

4721
02:45:23,350 --> 02:45:24,270
on a sheet of paper.

4722
02:45:24,390 --> 02:45:25,150
That's a document.

4723
02:45:25,410 --> 02:45:25,990
All right, here we go.

4724
02:45:25,990 --> 02:45:28,650
The trick here is finding language that is

4725
02:45:28,650 --> 02:45:32,010
both clear, that doesn't dehumanize the people we're

4726
02:45:32,010 --> 02:45:35,450
talking about and makes the point in as

4727
02:45:35,450 --> 02:45:36,930
exact a way as possible.

4728
02:45:37,270 --> 02:45:39,790
And we're not somehow coloring the debate by

4729
02:45:39,790 --> 02:45:40,970
the language that we use.

4730
02:45:41,130 --> 02:45:43,210
Now let's get into the weeds.

4731
02:45:43,430 --> 02:45:45,650
I want to talk about one other term

4732
02:45:45,650 --> 02:45:47,650
that has been used in our coverage.

4733
02:45:47,810 --> 02:45:49,850
Plenty of news organizations have used in past

4734
02:45:49,850 --> 02:45:51,270
illegal immigrants.

4735
02:45:51,590 --> 02:45:54,750
Oh, that's so wrong.

4736
02:45:54,750 --> 02:45:56,510
And for people listening who may be scratching

4737
02:45:56,510 --> 02:45:58,590
their heads and thinking, okay, but there are

4738
02:45:58,590 --> 02:46:00,310
folks who come to the U.S. illegally.

4739
02:46:00,790 --> 02:46:03,970
Your note says, NPR journalists, we can use

4740
02:46:03,970 --> 02:46:07,350
the term, can use the term illegal immigration,

4741
02:46:07,810 --> 02:46:09,690
not illegal immigrants.

4742
02:46:09,850 --> 02:46:10,930
The distinction being what?

4743
02:46:11,230 --> 02:46:11,970
What do you think?

4744
02:46:12,090 --> 02:46:14,450
Oh, because a Paris thing can't be illegal.

4745
02:46:15,190 --> 02:46:16,590
People are not illegal.

4746
02:46:16,850 --> 02:46:19,830
Someone can do something that's illegal, but they

4747
02:46:19,830 --> 02:46:20,990
are not in and of themselves.

4748
02:46:20,990 --> 02:46:22,950
So President Trump.

4749
02:46:22,950 --> 02:46:24,390
So we've gone to grammar.

4750
02:46:24,770 --> 02:46:26,850
Yes, we cannot say, we should not say

4751
02:46:26,850 --> 02:46:29,350
President Trump felon.

4752
02:46:29,630 --> 02:46:32,710
No, President Trump, who was convicted of a

4753
02:46:32,710 --> 02:46:33,030
felony.

4754
02:46:33,750 --> 02:46:35,970
You see, this is where it's going.

4755
02:46:36,230 --> 02:46:36,710
1984.

4756
02:46:37,370 --> 02:46:38,610
Well, can they get to, if they're going

4757
02:46:38,610 --> 02:46:40,710
to go with this grammar, this proper grammar,

4758
02:46:40,790 --> 02:46:45,150
what about the phrase false accusation when it's

4759
02:46:45,150 --> 02:46:46,410
just an accusation?

4760
02:46:46,830 --> 02:46:49,670
I think you should write a note to

4761
02:46:49,670 --> 02:46:50,830
NPR, to this guy.

4762
02:46:50,990 --> 02:46:52,710
They are not in and of themselves illegal.

4763
02:46:52,950 --> 02:46:54,690
So we don't want to do that.

4764
02:46:54,850 --> 02:46:55,510
No, we don't.

4765
02:46:55,550 --> 02:46:57,130
Oh, we don't want to do that.

4766
02:46:57,730 --> 02:46:59,810
Basic humanity in our coverage of the people

4767
02:46:59,810 --> 02:47:00,590
that we're writing about.

4768
02:47:00,810 --> 02:47:02,650
You know, I also mentioned in the same

4769
02:47:02,650 --> 02:47:05,110
note that, but we try not to use

4770
02:47:05,110 --> 02:47:08,570
terminology that talks about national phenomena when we're

4771
02:47:08,570 --> 02:47:10,390
going to a flood of immigrants or waves

4772
02:47:10,390 --> 02:47:14,130
of immigrants, just because you lose the humanity.

4773
02:47:14,370 --> 02:47:16,310
Each one of these people who comes to

4774
02:47:16,310 --> 02:47:16,670
this country.

4775
02:47:16,670 --> 02:47:17,610
This is all about the, all the, all

4776
02:47:17,610 --> 02:47:19,450
the humanity.

4777
02:47:20,130 --> 02:47:23,010
No matter whether they entered legally or illegal,

4778
02:47:23,170 --> 02:47:24,670
there's a story behind it.

4779
02:47:24,750 --> 02:47:26,110
There's an individual story.

4780
02:47:26,570 --> 02:47:27,850
Our job is to try and get as

4781
02:47:27,850 --> 02:47:29,390
close to those stories as possible.

4782
02:47:29,950 --> 02:47:32,630
That gets to a kind of golden rule

4783
02:47:32,630 --> 02:47:35,430
of thumb in journalism, which is generally better

4784
02:47:35,430 --> 02:47:37,350
to use a description than a label.

4785
02:47:37,650 --> 02:47:38,970
Give us an example or two that come

4786
02:47:38,970 --> 02:47:39,230
to mind.

4787
02:47:40,130 --> 02:47:42,250
Well, for example, we should say someone had

4788
02:47:42,250 --> 02:47:42,950
crossed the border.

4789
02:47:43,050 --> 02:47:44,330
Let me, let me, let me try it

4790
02:47:44,330 --> 02:47:44,510
out.

4791
02:47:44,510 --> 02:47:52,250
So instead of saying literally Hitler or misogynist

4792
02:47:52,250 --> 02:47:55,450
or rapist, we should use something different.

4793
02:47:56,050 --> 02:47:57,110
Labels are not good.

4794
02:47:57,590 --> 02:47:59,630
Well, for example, we should say someone had

4795
02:47:59,630 --> 02:48:02,050
crossed the border without permission, or he stayed

4796
02:48:02,050 --> 02:48:05,010
in the US after his tourist visa expired.

4797
02:48:05,290 --> 02:48:07,230
It really varies on the individual, but to

4798
02:48:07,230 --> 02:48:10,070
the extent we can describe a situation, it's

4799
02:48:10,070 --> 02:48:11,990
always better than labeling that situation.

4800
02:48:11,990 --> 02:48:14,010
And as you know, that's not exclusive to

4801
02:48:14,010 --> 02:48:14,430
immigration.

4802
02:48:14,610 --> 02:48:16,670
Well, we will be paying attention to you

4803
02:48:16,670 --> 02:48:17,190
NPR.

4804
02:48:17,910 --> 02:48:20,150
Yeah, because they use labels all the time.

4805
02:48:20,290 --> 02:48:20,810
And you're right.

4806
02:48:21,810 --> 02:48:23,610
Misogynist felon is a label.

4807
02:48:23,810 --> 02:48:25,010
How about far right?

4808
02:48:25,170 --> 02:48:25,730
Far right.

4809
02:48:25,810 --> 02:48:27,130
And by the way, they had the woman

4810
02:48:27,130 --> 02:48:29,570
on who, uh, who runs the AFD in

4811
02:48:29,570 --> 02:48:29,970
Germany.

4812
02:48:30,250 --> 02:48:30,490
Yeah.

4813
02:48:30,790 --> 02:48:32,750
And man, does she, she, she was on

4814
02:48:32,750 --> 02:48:33,130
Bloomberg.

4815
02:48:33,570 --> 02:48:33,730
Yeah.

4816
02:48:33,850 --> 02:48:35,830
English could be better, but she's pretty good.

4817
02:48:36,110 --> 02:48:36,310
Yeah.

4818
02:48:36,310 --> 02:48:38,330
But she really gave it to this guy

4819
02:48:38,330 --> 02:48:39,990
over use of the word far right.

4820
02:48:39,990 --> 02:48:42,130
And she wants to, she went over and

4821
02:48:42,130 --> 02:48:42,230
over.

4822
02:48:42,290 --> 02:48:43,610
She said, we're not far right.

4823
02:48:43,870 --> 02:48:46,910
We are libertarian conservatives.

4824
02:48:47,290 --> 02:48:49,050
We are not far right.

4825
02:48:49,250 --> 02:48:50,050
We're Libcons.

4826
02:48:51,630 --> 02:48:52,070
Libcons.

4827
02:48:52,550 --> 02:48:52,910
Libcons.

4828
02:48:52,950 --> 02:48:53,890
I like Libcons.

4829
02:48:54,310 --> 02:48:55,330
Libcons is good.

4830
02:48:56,030 --> 02:48:58,670
She was very, very good about, and she

4831
02:48:58,670 --> 02:49:01,670
had big, the AFD has big Trump fans.

4832
02:49:01,830 --> 02:49:02,030
Yep.

4833
02:49:02,130 --> 02:49:03,630
And she went on and on about how

4834
02:49:03,630 --> 02:49:04,630
screwed up Germany is.

4835
02:49:04,650 --> 02:49:06,030
And she blames it all on Merkel.

4836
02:49:06,890 --> 02:49:07,290
Oh yeah.

4837
02:49:07,430 --> 02:49:07,830
Merkel.

4838
02:49:07,970 --> 02:49:08,930
Whatever happened to Merkel?

4839
02:49:09,990 --> 02:49:11,130
She's retired somewhere.

4840
02:49:11,210 --> 02:49:11,830
She's in Russia.

4841
02:49:12,550 --> 02:49:14,170
Uh, we could not finish up the show,

4842
02:49:14,290 --> 02:49:16,590
at least from my perspective, without a making

4843
02:49:16,590 --> 02:49:18,630
fun of the new leader of NATO.

4844
02:49:19,410 --> 02:49:21,430
Uh, we know him as Mark Rutte and

4845
02:49:21,430 --> 02:49:24,450
he is out there talking about Russia again.

4846
02:49:24,710 --> 02:49:28,270
Faced with suspected Russian sabotage, they're taking action.

4847
02:49:28,830 --> 02:49:31,750
After several hours of discussions, the leaders of

4848
02:49:31,750 --> 02:49:34,790
NATO countries said they'd be strengthening the Alliance's

4849
02:49:34,790 --> 02:49:36,450
presence in the Baltic Sea.

4850
02:49:36,750 --> 02:49:38,910
It will involve a range of assets.

4851
02:49:39,030 --> 02:49:39,190
Yes.

4852
02:49:39,190 --> 02:49:41,830
Including frigates and maritime patrol aircraft.

4853
02:49:41,950 --> 02:49:44,310
Frigates and stroopwafels for everybody.

4854
02:49:44,750 --> 02:49:47,250
Among others, and will enhance our vigilance in

4855
02:49:47,250 --> 02:49:47,730
the Baltic.

4856
02:49:47,890 --> 02:49:48,950
Yes, enhance.

4857
02:49:49,090 --> 02:49:51,310
A small fleet of naval surface drones will

4858
02:49:51,310 --> 02:49:52,310
also be deployed.

4859
02:49:53,190 --> 02:49:55,710
The aim is to improve surveillance and deterrence

4860
02:49:55,710 --> 02:49:57,850
amid a string of incidents in the Baltic

4861
02:49:57,850 --> 02:50:00,970
Sea, in which power cables, telecom links, and

4862
02:50:00,970 --> 02:50:03,270
gas pipelines have been damaged in the wake

4863
02:50:03,270 --> 02:50:04,750
of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

4864
02:50:04,770 --> 02:50:05,090
Hybrid.

4865
02:50:05,840 --> 02:50:09,350
European leaders and experts alike suspect Moscow have

4866
02:50:09,350 --> 02:50:12,430
been behind these acts, known as hybrid warfare.

4867
02:50:12,570 --> 02:50:15,570
Hybrid means sabotage.

4868
02:50:15,690 --> 02:50:17,610
Hybrid means cyber attacks.

4869
02:50:17,770 --> 02:50:20,550
Hybrid means sometimes even assassination attempts.

4870
02:50:21,050 --> 02:50:24,050
And in this case, it means hitting on

4871
02:50:24,050 --> 02:50:27,790
our critical undersea infrastructure, that the Alliance will

4872
02:50:27,790 --> 02:50:28,910
not accept that.

4873
02:50:29,190 --> 02:50:33,530
Hybrid is something the Alliance will not accept

4874
02:50:33,530 --> 02:50:34,010
that.

4875
02:50:34,010 --> 02:50:35,810
No more hybrids.

4876
02:50:36,190 --> 02:50:38,110
And that we will do everything in our

4877
02:50:38,110 --> 02:50:40,870
power to make sure that we fight back.

4878
02:50:41,070 --> 02:50:41,950
Fight, we will.

4879
02:50:42,350 --> 02:50:44,890
NATO has already provided two ships to monitor

4880
02:50:44,890 --> 02:50:48,550
undersea infrastructure, as well as Russia's Shadow Fleet.

4881
02:50:48,770 --> 02:50:51,910
Ships sailing under foreign flags, which Moscow is

4882
02:50:51,910 --> 02:50:54,390
accused of using to export oil to get

4883
02:50:54,390 --> 02:50:55,670
around Western sanctions.

4884
02:50:56,550 --> 02:50:58,710
The new mission will continue indefinitely.

4885
02:50:59,310 --> 02:51:01,870
As the president of Finland, Alexander Stubb, put

4886
02:51:01,870 --> 02:51:04,250
it, get used to the new normal.

4887
02:51:04,970 --> 02:51:06,570
They're soaking the Finns now.

4888
02:51:06,690 --> 02:51:08,630
They got the Finns into NATO.

4889
02:51:10,170 --> 02:51:12,230
You're right, they're soaking the Finns.

4890
02:51:12,250 --> 02:51:13,490
Soaking the Finns.

4891
02:51:13,810 --> 02:51:14,490
They're soaking them.

4892
02:51:14,510 --> 02:51:14,810
Dummies.

4893
02:51:15,270 --> 02:51:15,550
Yeah.

4894
02:51:15,810 --> 02:51:16,590
Oh, hybrid.

4895
02:51:17,650 --> 02:51:18,210
Hybrid.

4896
02:51:19,510 --> 02:51:21,550
Get out of my pants with your hybrid.

4897
02:51:22,570 --> 02:51:24,590
Well, since we're getting catching up on internationalism,

4898
02:51:24,690 --> 02:51:26,030
I might as well play the Korea mess.

4899
02:51:26,170 --> 02:51:26,770
I have a clip.

4900
02:51:27,170 --> 02:51:28,250
Korea mess.

4901
02:51:29,330 --> 02:51:31,130
Oh, that's a big mess.

4902
02:51:31,130 --> 02:51:34,130
South Korea's impeached president, Yoon Suk-kyo, was

4903
02:51:34,130 --> 02:51:37,090
arrested Wednesday, a first for a sitting president

4904
02:51:37,090 --> 02:51:37,810
of the country.

4905
02:51:38,310 --> 02:51:40,530
It's the latest turn in a political crisis

4906
02:51:40,530 --> 02:51:43,130
sparked by his short-lived declaration of martial

4907
02:51:43,130 --> 02:51:45,750
law last month, which eventually saw Yoon hiding

4908
02:51:45,750 --> 02:51:48,090
out at his residence for weeks, protected by

4909
02:51:48,090 --> 02:51:51,230
personal security to avoid authorities who wanted to

4910
02:51:51,230 --> 02:51:53,410
detain him on grounds of insurrection.

4911
02:51:53,910 --> 02:51:56,390
More than 3,000 police officers marched on

4912
02:51:56,390 --> 02:51:59,050
Yoon's residence Wednesday, and a motorcade later took

4913
02:51:59,050 --> 02:52:01,790
him to the country's anti-corruption agency, the

4914
02:52:01,790 --> 02:52:04,850
CIO, or the Corruption Investigation Office, for high

4915
02:52:04,850 --> 02:52:05,670
-ranking officials.

4916
02:52:06,250 --> 02:52:09,050
South Korean journalists snapped the moment he stepped

4917
02:52:09,050 --> 02:52:11,150
out of the car and into the agency's

4918
02:52:11,150 --> 02:52:13,570
offices in Gwacheon, just south of Seoul.

4919
02:52:14,330 --> 02:52:16,830
Investigators have 48 hours to question him.

4920
02:52:17,010 --> 02:52:18,910
After that, they must release him or seek

4921
02:52:18,910 --> 02:52:20,450
a warrant to detain him for longer.

4922
02:52:21,110 --> 02:52:23,670
In a video message recorded before his detention,

4923
02:52:23,870 --> 02:52:25,950
Yoon said he turned himself in for questioning

4924
02:52:25,950 --> 02:52:27,470
to avoid any bloodshed.

4925
02:52:27,470 --> 02:52:30,530
And disputed the legality of the investigation and

4926
02:52:30,530 --> 02:52:31,050
arrest.

4927
02:52:33,010 --> 02:52:34,830
Today, when I saw them break into the

4928
02:52:34,830 --> 02:52:38,030
security area using firefighting equipment, I decided to

4929
02:52:38,030 --> 02:52:41,510
respond to the CIO's investigation, despite it being

4930
02:52:41,510 --> 02:52:45,210
an illegal investigation, to prevent unsavory bloodshed.

4931
02:52:45,670 --> 02:52:47,770
However, that doesn't mean I am acknowledging the

4932
02:52:47,770 --> 02:52:49,390
investigation of the CIO.

4933
02:52:51,590 --> 02:52:53,810
Earlier in the morning, scuffles broke out between

4934
02:52:53,810 --> 02:52:56,250
Yoon's supporters and police who were trying to

4935
02:52:56,250 --> 02:52:56,770
arrest him.

4936
02:52:56,770 --> 02:52:59,910
His lawyers have said the arrest warrant is

4937
02:52:59,910 --> 02:53:00,350
illegal.

4938
02:53:01,010 --> 02:53:02,650
They say it was issued by a court

4939
02:53:02,650 --> 02:53:04,910
in the wrong jurisdiction and the team set

4940
02:53:04,910 --> 02:53:07,450
up to investigate him has no legal mandate

4941
02:53:07,450 --> 02:53:08,110
to do so.

4942
02:53:10,050 --> 02:53:13,150
Lawmakers voted to impeach Yoon last month, after

4943
02:53:13,150 --> 02:53:15,790
his martial law order on December 3 ushered

4944
02:53:15,790 --> 02:53:17,830
in unprecedented political turmoil.

4945
02:53:18,530 --> 02:53:20,630
In a previous attempt to arrest Yoon on

4946
02:53:20,630 --> 02:53:23,830
January 3, the Presidential Security Service and military

4947
02:53:23,830 --> 02:53:26,810
guards blocked CIO investigators in a six-hour

4948
02:53:26,810 --> 02:53:27,410
standoff.

4949
02:53:27,890 --> 02:53:30,950
The agency has since apologized for initially failing

4950
02:53:30,950 --> 02:53:32,630
to arrest Yoon on that day.

4951
02:53:55,740 --> 02:53:57,000
No, no, no, no, no.

4952
02:53:57,200 --> 02:53:59,920
We know that he was going through all

4953
02:53:59,920 --> 02:54:03,080
the paperwork at the headquarters of the party

4954
02:54:03,080 --> 02:54:05,240
because he felt there was some kind of

4955
02:54:05,240 --> 02:54:06,880
election shenanigans going on.

4956
02:54:08,040 --> 02:54:09,740
That's what we know from boots on the

4957
02:54:09,740 --> 02:54:11,280
ground, but we don't know much more.

4958
02:54:11,780 --> 02:54:12,680
We don't know enough.

4959
02:54:12,840 --> 02:54:14,360
And now he's an insurrectionist?

4960
02:54:14,500 --> 02:54:15,460
Hmm, sounds familiar.

4961
02:54:16,600 --> 02:54:19,720
Let me see, election was bogus because, you

4962
02:54:19,720 --> 02:54:22,280
know, he lost all control in Parliament, and

4963
02:54:22,280 --> 02:54:24,160
then all of a sudden he questions that,

4964
02:54:24,240 --> 02:54:25,180
then you're an insurrectionist.

4965
02:54:25,180 --> 02:54:26,820
I think that's the template.

4966
02:54:28,300 --> 02:54:29,660
Then they arrest him.

4967
02:54:30,040 --> 02:54:31,500
They don't mess around in Korea.

4968
02:54:32,120 --> 02:54:34,460
I'm going to play your porn site age

4969
02:54:34,460 --> 02:54:35,360
verification clip.

4970
02:54:35,440 --> 02:54:39,140
I have one as well, but we'll play

4971
02:54:39,140 --> 02:54:40,100
this and discuss.

4972
02:54:40,380 --> 02:54:42,840
The Supreme Court heard a challenge today to

4973
02:54:42,840 --> 02:54:45,740
a Texas law that requires age verification for

4974
02:54:45,740 --> 02:54:46,780
adult websites.

4975
02:54:47,100 --> 02:54:50,400
A trade group representing adult entertainment performers and

4976
02:54:50,400 --> 02:54:53,680
companies argues the law violates the First Amendment.

4977
02:54:54,520 --> 02:54:56,900
After two hours of oral argument, a majority

4978
02:54:56,900 --> 02:54:59,300
of the court signaled that states should be

4979
02:54:59,300 --> 02:55:01,580
able to impose some kind of age requirement

4980
02:55:01,580 --> 02:55:02,580
for such websites.

4981
02:55:03,140 --> 02:55:05,300
This is to ensure that minors can't easily

4982
02:55:05,300 --> 02:55:07,620
access obscene material online.

4983
02:55:07,940 --> 02:55:10,460
But several justices also flag concerns that their

4984
02:55:10,460 --> 02:55:13,200
ruling could spill over and affect other First

4985
02:55:13,200 --> 02:55:14,040
Amendment rights.

4986
02:55:14,520 --> 02:55:16,960
A decision is expected by this summer.

4987
02:55:17,380 --> 02:55:19,820
The Texas law from 2023 is similar to

4988
02:55:19,820 --> 02:55:23,100
19 others enacted around the United States under

4989
02:55:23,100 --> 02:55:24,140
the Texas law.

4990
02:55:24,220 --> 02:55:27,480
Adult websites must require all users to submit

4991
02:55:27,480 --> 02:55:31,060
personally identifying information, verifying that they are at

4992
02:55:31,060 --> 02:55:32,780
least 18 years old.

4993
02:55:33,200 --> 02:55:36,500
Challengers, including the American Civil Liberties Union, argue

4994
02:55:36,500 --> 02:55:39,340
the law is an unacceptable burden to access

4995
02:55:39,340 --> 02:55:41,840
constitutionally protected free speech.

4996
02:55:42,380 --> 02:55:45,220
Some adult sites have responded by blocking access

4997
02:55:45,220 --> 02:55:48,180
entirely in states with age verification laws.

4998
02:55:48,980 --> 02:55:53,800
I, this is, government digital ID is inevitable.

4999
02:55:56,210 --> 02:55:57,030
It's coming.

5000
02:55:58,900 --> 02:56:01,240
It's not going to stop free porn.

5001
02:56:02,540 --> 02:56:04,400
Pre, free porn or pre-porn?

5002
02:56:04,580 --> 02:56:05,240
What did you say?

5003
02:56:05,260 --> 02:56:06,480
Free, free porn.

5004
02:56:06,620 --> 02:56:08,480
No, you're going to have to, just to

5005
02:56:08,480 --> 02:56:09,240
get on the internet.

5006
02:56:10,420 --> 02:56:11,900
I'm not sure of this.

5007
02:56:11,980 --> 02:56:12,520
I am.

5008
02:56:12,820 --> 02:56:14,460
I've been saying this for a long time,

5009
02:56:14,560 --> 02:56:14,720
eventually.

5010
02:56:14,720 --> 02:56:17,000
Yeah, you've been saying it for a long

5011
02:56:17,000 --> 02:56:18,740
time and you're going to keep, and you'll

5012
02:56:18,740 --> 02:56:20,420
keep saying it for a long time.

5013
02:56:20,420 --> 02:56:21,780
Eventually, I'll be right.

5014
02:56:22,460 --> 02:56:23,960
Yeah, I guess you would be.

5015
02:56:37,720 --> 02:56:39,200
There's a lot of shows still to come.

5016
02:56:39,320 --> 02:56:41,620
Of course, that includes John's infamous tip of

5017
02:56:41,620 --> 02:56:41,980
the day.

5018
02:56:42,140 --> 02:56:43,760
We hope it's not as dangerous as the

5019
02:56:43,760 --> 02:56:44,440
previous one.

5020
02:56:44,560 --> 02:56:45,300
What you say?

5021
02:56:45,460 --> 02:56:45,740
Why?

5022
02:56:45,920 --> 02:56:47,960
Because it is dangerous.

5023
02:56:47,960 --> 02:56:50,160
Some of his tips are just dangerous to

5024
02:56:50,160 --> 02:56:51,540
humanity and privacy.

5025
02:56:52,940 --> 02:56:55,360
And John's now going to thank everybody who

5026
02:56:55,360 --> 02:56:55,960
supported us.

5027
02:56:56,020 --> 02:56:56,960
$50 and above.

5028
02:56:57,080 --> 02:56:59,380
We don't mention under 50 for reasons of

5029
02:56:59,380 --> 02:56:59,920
anonymity.

5030
02:57:00,280 --> 02:57:01,120
And here we go.

5031
02:57:01,860 --> 02:57:03,560
Yes, yes, indeed.

5032
02:57:04,820 --> 02:57:06,860
He said opening up the spreadsheet.

5033
02:57:07,340 --> 02:57:08,660
No, I got the spreadsheet.

5034
02:57:08,840 --> 02:57:12,880
Radu Pertuk in Vero Beach, Florida starts us

5035
02:57:12,880 --> 02:57:19,200
off at 124.33. Richard Lindquist in Squim,

5036
02:57:19,400 --> 02:57:22,280
Washington, 124.33. This must be an update

5037
02:57:22,280 --> 02:57:23,580
of some amount of money.

5038
02:57:23,660 --> 02:57:24,260
Not sure what.

5039
02:57:25,740 --> 02:57:27,340
Sir Ronald Gardner.

5040
02:57:28,080 --> 02:57:29,400
With a 33?

5041
02:57:30,520 --> 02:57:31,580
That's interesting.

5042
02:57:32,220 --> 02:57:33,160
It doesn't make sense.

5043
02:57:33,300 --> 02:57:33,880
No, it doesn't.

5044
02:57:33,960 --> 02:57:37,460
Sir Ronald Gardner, San Diego, California, 124.33.

5045
02:57:37,760 --> 02:57:38,340
Another one.

5046
02:57:39,060 --> 02:57:44,800
And Yaron Snelders in Ennis, Texas.

5047
02:57:45,180 --> 02:57:46,000
Yaron Snelders.

5048
02:57:46,840 --> 02:57:48,120
He says just call him JJ.

5049
02:57:48,340 --> 02:57:49,200
It says it right there.

5050
02:57:50,640 --> 02:57:52,680
124.33. Another one.

5051
02:57:53,660 --> 02:58:00,060
And Jennifer Reen in Snoqualmie, Washington, 124.33.

5052
02:58:00,180 --> 02:58:00,980
Yet another one.

5053
02:58:01,780 --> 02:58:02,280
I don't know.

5054
02:58:02,880 --> 02:58:05,020
Sir Austin in Sammamish, Washington.

5055
02:58:06,000 --> 02:58:07,680
Got the great names in Washington.

5056
02:58:08,640 --> 02:58:10,160
Oh, these are all Indian tribes.

5057
02:58:11,300 --> 02:58:13,380
120.25. Oh, that was the...

5058
02:58:13,380 --> 02:58:17,140
We got two of the newsletter donation amounts,

5059
02:58:17,340 --> 02:58:17,500
two.

5060
02:58:17,920 --> 02:58:18,500
Count them, two.

5061
02:58:19,440 --> 02:58:21,880
120.25 was your special donation amount.

5062
02:58:22,040 --> 02:58:22,520
Oh, that...

5063
02:58:22,520 --> 02:58:25,160
Okay, 124.33 was the same thing plus

5064
02:58:25,160 --> 02:58:25,640
the fees.

5065
02:58:26,520 --> 02:58:27,180
Okay, we got it.

5066
02:58:27,220 --> 02:58:27,840
So we got a couple.

5067
02:58:27,840 --> 02:58:28,360
That's what it was.

5068
02:58:28,400 --> 02:58:29,540
Okay, we got a bunch of them then.

5069
02:58:29,540 --> 02:58:32,120
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

5070
02:58:32,180 --> 02:58:32,640
That was good.

5071
02:58:32,680 --> 02:58:34,300
Because the seventh one is Dame Rita.

5072
02:58:34,300 --> 02:58:38,180
Our pal there in Sparks, Nevada, 120.25.

5073
02:58:38,280 --> 02:58:40,300
That's the celebration of the...

5074
02:58:41,040 --> 02:58:41,980
The new year.

5075
02:58:42,020 --> 02:58:42,400
The inauguration.

5076
02:58:42,740 --> 02:58:42,920
The inauguration.

5077
02:58:43,140 --> 02:58:44,500
Peak out on the next Sunday show.

5078
02:58:44,620 --> 02:58:44,980
That's right.

5079
02:58:45,020 --> 02:58:47,120
So we have one, two, three, four, five,

5080
02:58:47,300 --> 02:58:48,000
six, seven.

5081
02:58:48,080 --> 02:58:49,520
We hope to have more.

5082
02:58:53,930 --> 02:58:58,670
Mark Kucharski in Aurora, Colorado, 117.77. He's

5083
02:58:58,670 --> 02:58:59,450
on the birthday list.

5084
02:59:00,190 --> 02:59:03,350
Lucas Williams in Roswell, New Mexico, 100 bucks.

5085
02:59:06,440 --> 02:59:08,020
Kevin McLaughlin, 8008.

5086
02:59:08,020 --> 02:59:10,380
He's the Archduke of Luna, lover of American

5087
02:59:10,380 --> 02:59:10,920
boobs.

5088
02:59:11,720 --> 02:59:16,960
And he is requesting F-cancer karma for

5089
02:59:16,960 --> 02:59:19,180
the ladies and their sweater puppies, please.

5090
02:59:19,360 --> 02:59:21,980
And we have to because he's really a

5091
02:59:21,980 --> 02:59:23,040
duke of some...

5092
02:59:23,040 --> 02:59:24,680
More than an archduke.

5093
02:59:24,740 --> 02:59:26,220
We have to give him that right now.

5094
02:59:29,960 --> 02:59:31,520
You've got karma.

5095
02:59:32,080 --> 02:59:33,220
But he says ghost.

5096
02:59:33,780 --> 02:59:35,580
Jonathan Ferris, 8008.

5097
02:59:35,660 --> 02:59:40,100
William Rowland in Veredale, Washington, 77.77. Joseph

5098
02:59:40,100 --> 02:59:44,720
Weisch in Miami, Florida, 77.77. Russ Curry

5099
02:59:44,720 --> 02:59:50,580
in St. Cloud, Florida, 73.77. A birthday

5100
02:59:50,580 --> 02:59:51,160
list you got.

5101
02:59:51,200 --> 02:59:52,320
He reached 70 now.

5102
02:59:52,900 --> 02:59:53,940
He's going to be 70.

5103
02:59:54,100 --> 02:59:54,600
Right on.

5104
02:59:56,740 --> 02:59:57,200
Right arm.

5105
02:59:57,320 --> 02:59:58,080
Four more years.

5106
02:59:59,580 --> 03:00:00,260
Karaoke.

5107
03:00:00,540 --> 03:00:01,200
Karaoke.

5108
03:00:01,700 --> 03:00:02,380
Karaoke.

5109
03:00:02,780 --> 03:00:03,460
Karaoke.

5110
03:00:03,780 --> 03:00:04,520
All right.

5111
03:00:04,880 --> 03:00:05,200
Yeah.

5112
03:00:06,960 --> 03:00:07,640
Karaoke.

5113
03:00:09,840 --> 03:00:10,520
Karaoke.

5114
03:00:10,980 --> 03:00:15,080
In Freehold, New Jersey, 6009, which is a

5115
03:00:15,080 --> 03:00:16,820
lopsided boobs.

5116
03:00:17,480 --> 03:00:21,720
That's a happy birthday donation for not quite

5117
03:00:21,720 --> 03:00:25,620
a dame karaoke, aka Carrie Brillante in Freehold,

5118
03:00:25,740 --> 03:00:26,120
New Jersey.

5119
03:00:26,260 --> 03:00:27,340
It's a birthday call out.

5120
03:00:28,680 --> 03:00:31,660
Les Tarkowski, 6006 from Kingman, Arizona.

5121
03:00:32,220 --> 03:00:35,220
Todd Tarson in Clovis, New Mexico, 5720.

5122
03:00:36,280 --> 03:00:40,060
Christopher Dechter in 5678.

5123
03:00:41,200 --> 03:00:47,240
George Yankova in Chesham, UK, 5678.

5124
03:00:47,900 --> 03:00:53,120
Joshua Britt in Spring Hill, Tennessee, 5560.

5125
03:00:53,180 --> 03:00:55,680
By the way, the UK donation came through

5126
03:00:55,680 --> 03:00:58,040
Stripe, which I think is probably easier to

5127
03:00:58,040 --> 03:01:01,200
use in the UK, although here's a donation

5128
03:01:01,200 --> 03:01:01,920
that came in.

5129
03:01:01,920 --> 03:01:05,060
Joshua Britt thanks Jared Shaw from Nashville for

5130
03:01:05,060 --> 03:01:06,120
hitting him in the mouth.

5131
03:01:07,480 --> 03:01:11,380
Sir Paul in Twickenham, Middlesex, UK, 5555.

5132
03:01:12,500 --> 03:01:15,300
John's grouching about low donations in the newsletter

5133
03:01:15,300 --> 03:01:16,040
does work.

5134
03:01:16,260 --> 03:01:16,800
Of course.

5135
03:01:17,300 --> 03:01:18,040
Of course it works.

5136
03:01:19,600 --> 03:01:21,300
If you don't grouse, nobody pays attention.

5137
03:01:21,980 --> 03:01:23,260
That's the way I see it.

5138
03:01:24,040 --> 03:01:27,940
Scott Mangle in Exton, Pennsylvania, 5555.

5139
03:01:28,500 --> 03:01:32,560
James Edmondson in South Plainfield, New Jersey, 5510.

5140
03:01:32,920 --> 03:01:36,960
Gregory Brooks, Mechanicsville, Virginia, 5271.

5141
03:01:37,020 --> 03:01:38,640
And the rest of these are $50 donors.

5142
03:01:39,060 --> 03:01:41,120
I'm just going to read the names and

5143
03:01:41,120 --> 03:01:46,420
locations starting with Brandon Savoie, Port Orchard, Washington.

5144
03:01:46,660 --> 03:01:48,360
Jared Yaw in Nashville.

5145
03:01:49,220 --> 03:01:51,100
Dame Patricia Worthington in Miami.

5146
03:01:51,960 --> 03:01:54,740
Kristen Freeman in San Marcos, Texas.

5147
03:01:55,180 --> 03:01:57,240
Kevin Dills in Huntersville, North Carolina.

5148
03:01:57,940 --> 03:02:02,260
Diane Schwanebeck in Johnsburg, Illinois.

5149
03:02:02,520 --> 03:02:04,420
I think she comes in almost every week.

5150
03:02:05,080 --> 03:02:08,500
Chris Lewinsky, Sir Chris in Shrewett Park, Alberta,

5151
03:02:08,660 --> 03:02:09,000
Canada.

5152
03:02:09,620 --> 03:02:12,280
Michael Peratt in Salem, Oregon.

5153
03:02:13,100 --> 03:02:16,760
North Stonington, Connecticut brings us Easy Landscapes.

5154
03:02:17,320 --> 03:02:19,160
Easy Landscapes.

5155
03:02:19,960 --> 03:02:21,700
Philip Ballew in Louisville, Kentucky.

5156
03:02:22,280 --> 03:02:25,380
And last on our list of well-wishers

5157
03:02:25,380 --> 03:02:30,420
and producers is Ethan Wellman in Crown Point,

5158
03:02:30,820 --> 03:02:31,440
Indiana.

5159
03:02:31,700 --> 03:02:34,980
And call out Big Joe as a douchebag.

5160
03:02:36,960 --> 03:02:38,040
There you go.

5161
03:02:38,160 --> 03:02:38,900
There you go.

5162
03:02:39,040 --> 03:02:40,780
Thank you to all of our producers, $50

5163
03:02:40,780 --> 03:02:41,480
and above.

5164
03:02:41,700 --> 03:02:43,840
Anyone underneath will not be mentioned for reasons

5165
03:02:43,840 --> 03:02:44,620
of anonymity.

5166
03:02:44,720 --> 03:02:46,280
You certainly will understand that.

5167
03:02:46,320 --> 03:02:47,300
Of course, that's why you do it.

5168
03:02:47,320 --> 03:02:49,700
We see you $49.99. And of course,

5169
03:02:49,760 --> 03:02:52,760
our sustaining donors who go to knowagendadonations.com

5170
03:02:52,760 --> 03:02:55,100
and enter any amount and any frequency, they

5171
03:02:55,100 --> 03:02:56,800
set it, they forget it and support the

5172
03:02:56,800 --> 03:02:58,240
show for the rest of their lives.

5173
03:02:58,340 --> 03:02:59,300
We love you very much.

5174
03:03:00,400 --> 03:03:01,200
knowagendadonations.com.

5175
03:03:01,240 --> 03:03:03,440
Again, thank you to our executive and associate

5176
03:03:03,440 --> 03:03:05,700
executive producers for episode 1730.

5177
03:03:05,840 --> 03:03:06,680
We wouldn't have been able to do it

5178
03:03:06,680 --> 03:03:07,520
without any of you.

5179
03:03:08,000 --> 03:03:10,220
Go to knowagendadonations.com.

5180
03:03:15,700 --> 03:03:17,360
Finally, we have a good birthday list.

03:03:17,780 --> 03:03:19,820
Sir Steve of Steel Creek wishes his son

Celebrate on the 11th.

5187
03:03:29,700 --> 03:03:30,540

Karaoke turned 57 on the 15th.

5189
03:03:33,460 --> 03:03:36,060

a happy one.

5196
03:03:49,060 --> 03:03:50,780
He's turning one year old tomorrow.

5197
03:03:50,780 --> 03:03:53,580
Mark Kucharski celebrates tomorrow.

5198
03:03:53,980 --> 03:03:57,220
Sir Pediatrist wishes his beautiful daughter Lily Louise

Podcast in the Universe.

5206
03:04:11,600 --> 03:04:13,540
We've got two nights.

5207
03:04:13,840 --> 03:04:18,580
One of them is Nick who wrote in.

5208
03:04:19,460 --> 03:04:20,640
This is a good letter.

5209
03:04:21,320 --> 03:04:23,260
I apologize for my tardiness in getting you

5210
03:04:23,260 --> 03:04:24,680
this note to claim my knighthood.

5211
03:04:24,780 --> 03:04:26,780
The new human resource plus my busy season

5212
03:04:26,780 --> 03:04:28,080
at work has got me a bit behind,

5213
03:04:28,220 --> 03:04:29,000
but I digress.

5214
03:04:29,300 --> 03:04:30,760
I'm honored to become a Knight of the

5215
03:04:30,760 --> 03:04:31,940
Best Podcast in the Universe.

5216
03:04:32,100 --> 03:04:33,960
I knew No Agenda was the podcast for

5217
03:04:33,960 --> 03:04:35,500
me and my family when one day in

5218
03:04:35,500 --> 03:04:38,280
2022, I walked down the stairs to greet

5219
03:04:38,280 --> 03:04:39,500
my wife in the morning.

5220
03:04:40,000 --> 03:04:42,180
She returned the good morning and made a

5221
03:04:42,180 --> 03:04:43,080
small request.

5222
03:04:43,640 --> 03:04:45,820
As I was completing this request, I decided

5223
03:04:45,820 --> 03:04:47,660
to start a conversation, which is good to

5224
03:04:47,660 --> 03:04:48,240
do with your wife.

5225
03:04:48,840 --> 03:04:51,060
Before the conversation could get going, she quickly

5226
03:04:51,060 --> 03:04:52,760
replied with a shut up slave.

5227
03:04:53,720 --> 03:04:55,660
At that moment, it all clicked for me.

5228
03:04:56,120 --> 03:04:57,880
We've been hooked for the last three years.

5229
03:04:58,000 --> 03:04:59,460
I knew I needed to become a Knight

5230
03:04:59,460 --> 03:05:01,120
of the Best Podcast in the Universe.

5231
03:05:01,740 --> 03:05:04,180
In my time listening, I've enjoyed attending meetups,

5232
03:05:04,260 --> 03:05:05,840
hitting others in the mouth and dropping some

5233
03:05:05,840 --> 03:05:07,960
knowledge and the knowledge on the unsuspecting.

5234
03:05:08,200 --> 03:05:10,000
Thank you for keeping our amygdala shrunk.

5235
03:05:10,080 --> 03:05:11,980
Your podcast has become a must listen at

5236
03:05:11,980 --> 03:05:13,020
regular speed.

5237
03:05:13,440 --> 03:05:14,720
Thank you for your courage and may you

5238
03:05:14,720 --> 03:05:16,260
never find an exit strategy.

5239
03:05:16,260 --> 03:05:19,600
Requests domain, uh, how do you draw him?

5240
03:05:19,960 --> 03:05:20,380
Drew Han.

5241
03:05:20,560 --> 03:05:20,920
Drew Han.

5242
03:05:21,040 --> 03:05:23,640
Domain, Drew Han, Pinot Noir and Prime Beef.

5243
03:05:23,840 --> 03:05:24,020
Drew Han.

5244
03:05:24,540 --> 03:05:25,920
He says Drew Han.

5245
03:05:26,740 --> 03:05:28,300
That's pronounced Drew Han.

5246
03:05:28,460 --> 03:05:28,860
Drew Han.

5247
03:05:28,980 --> 03:05:29,640
That's what I said.

5248
03:05:29,740 --> 03:05:30,180
Drew Han.

5249
03:05:31,440 --> 03:05:34,520

Please knight me, Sir Rudy of the Northern

5253
03:05:39,940 --> 03:05:41,080
Shenandoah Valley.

5254
03:05:41,380 --> 03:05:43,480
The necessary, the necessary counting is below.

5255
03:05:43,920 --> 03:05:45,740
Oh, he had some jingles here I didn't

5256
03:05:45,740 --> 03:05:46,060
see.

5257
03:05:46,260 --> 03:05:48,260
He wants a pasta Glock.

5258
03:05:48,880 --> 03:05:50,080
Sorry about that.

5259
03:05:50,940 --> 03:05:56,740
Uh, pasta Glock, which is noodle, noodle gun.

5260
03:05:57,200 --> 03:05:57,580
Hold on.

5261
03:05:57,620 --> 03:05:58,800
I got the noodle gun.

5262
03:05:58,900 --> 03:05:59,200
Yes.

5263
03:05:59,220 --> 03:06:00,280
And what else does he want?

5264
03:06:02,620 --> 03:06:04,640
Uh, a jet screen.

5265
03:06:04,720 --> 03:06:05,120
Okay.

5266
03:06:05,340 --> 03:06:05,900
All right.

5267
03:06:05,940 --> 03:06:08,100
F 35 and I'll make that a karma

5268
03:06:08,100 --> 03:06:08,540
for you.

5269
03:06:08,540 --> 03:06:08,900
Okay.

5270
03:06:09,080 --> 03:06:09,960
And we're all set.

5271
03:06:10,360 --> 03:06:11,920
What else does he say here?

5272
03:06:12,220 --> 03:06:15,080
Please distribute some jobs karma for myself and

5273
03:06:15,080 --> 03:06:15,660
the others.

5274
03:06:16,260 --> 03:06:17,520
Thank you once again.

5275
03:06:17,580 --> 03:06:18,140
You got it.

03:06:31,040 --> 03:06:34,760
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

5277
03:06:34,980 --> 03:06:36,400
Let's vote for jobs.

5278
03:06:38,840 --> 03:06:42,920
You've got karma.

5279
03:06:43,500 --> 03:06:44,620
There you go.

5280
03:06:45,560 --> 03:06:47,680
So now very proud to pronounce the Kate.

5281
03:06:47,780 --> 03:06:50,060
These two knights, uh, John, I've got a

5282
03:06:50,060 --> 03:06:50,400
blade out.

5283
03:06:50,460 --> 03:06:53,120
Could you bring out your big boy?

5284
03:06:55,980 --> 03:06:58,420
Up on the podium, Nick and Julian Swan.

5285
03:06:58,520 --> 03:06:59,780
Both of you are now knights of the

5286
03:06:59,780 --> 03:07:00,740
Noah Jenner round table.

5287
03:07:00,880 --> 03:07:02,640
I am very proud to pronounce the KV

5288
03:07:02,640 --> 03:07:05,060

5289
03:07:05,060 --> 03:07:07,700

There's a ring sizing guide.

Send it off to their signet ring.

5299

5300
03:07:47,040 --> 03:07:48,880
seal your important correspondence.

5301
03:07:49,000 --> 03:07:50,740
And as always, it is accompanied by a

5302
03:07:50,740 --> 03:07:51,880
certificate of authenticity.

5303
03:07:51,880 --> 03:07:54,900

That's right.

No agenda meetups where connection is protection.

5307
03:08:07,820 --> 03:08:09,680
These are the first responders in your life.

5308
03:08:09,860 --> 03:08:11,080
Once you've been to a meetup, you will

5309
03:08:11,080 --> 03:08:13,020
always want to go to a meetup.

5310
03:08:14,540 --> 03:08:16,600

tip your waiters.

5351
03:09:42,840 --> 03:09:45,380
Hey, go to knowagendameetups.com to find more.

5352
03:10:04,440 --> 03:10:05,160
Yeah, baby.

5353
03:10:05,240 --> 03:10:05,940
It's like a party.

5354
03:10:06,260 --> 03:10:08,300
John's tip of the day is coming up.

5355
03:10:08,360 --> 03:10:09,900
I do have to say that a lot

5356
03:10:09,900 --> 03:10:11,800
of people were very distressed about that tip

5357
03:10:11,800 --> 03:10:12,240
of the day.

5358
03:10:13,300 --> 03:10:15,060
I was particularly distressed.

5359
03:10:15,780 --> 03:10:17,200
Well, because it had a picture of your

5360
03:10:17,200 --> 03:10:17,600
house.

5361
03:10:17,700 --> 03:10:18,620
It has everything.

5362
03:10:18,780 --> 03:10:22,460
It has, you know, like my previous gender.

5363
03:10:22,640 --> 03:10:23,960
I mean, there's all kinds of stuff in

5364
03:10:23,960 --> 03:10:24,160
there.

5365
03:10:24,240 --> 03:10:26,240
It's crazy.

5366
03:10:26,440 --> 03:10:26,840
A lot of people.

5367
03:10:26,840 --> 03:10:28,560
There's a lot of people that complimented me

5368
03:10:28,560 --> 03:10:30,660
for that tip because they found lost relatives.

5369
03:10:33,080 --> 03:10:34,720
Well, well, goodie.

5370
03:10:35,720 --> 03:10:37,100
It's just distressing.

5371
03:10:37,380 --> 03:10:39,760
And the amount of services out there who

5372
03:10:39,760 --> 03:10:43,000
probably the same companies who offer to remove

5373
03:10:43,000 --> 03:10:45,060
you from the Internet, delete me.

5374
03:10:46,500 --> 03:10:48,620
And if you look at consumer reports, if

5375
03:10:48,620 --> 03:10:50,480
you go in and you find the remove

5376
03:10:50,480 --> 03:10:52,780
links yourself, you have a much higher percentage

5377
03:10:52,780 --> 03:10:54,560
of removing it from the Internet than using

5378
03:10:54,560 --> 03:10:57,540
these services, which cost $200 or more per

5379
03:10:57,540 --> 03:10:57,920
year.

5380
03:10:58,940 --> 03:11:00,200
What a scam.

5381
03:11:00,200 --> 03:11:01,240
Yeah, this is like this.

5382
03:11:01,340 --> 03:11:02,260
This is like, what's the other?

5383
03:11:02,420 --> 03:11:04,640
Like the scam that you've already bought into

5384
03:11:04,640 --> 03:11:05,720
from Spotify.

5385
03:11:07,140 --> 03:11:08,900
Will you stop paying and books?

5386
03:11:08,960 --> 03:11:09,980
Your books go away.

5387
03:11:10,700 --> 03:11:11,940
Audible, not Spotify.

5388
03:11:12,120 --> 03:11:12,440
Audible.

5389
03:11:13,380 --> 03:11:14,100
Oh, it's audible?

5390
03:11:14,500 --> 03:11:15,040
It's audible.

5391
03:11:15,240 --> 03:11:15,380
Yeah.

5392
03:11:15,640 --> 03:11:16,820
Oh, I thought you said Spotify.

5393
03:11:17,060 --> 03:11:19,240
No, Spotify was the uninterruptible ads.

5394
03:11:20,720 --> 03:11:21,500
Get it together.

5395
03:11:21,680 --> 03:11:24,460
Well, whatever the case, if you buy an

5396
03:11:24,460 --> 03:11:26,440
audiobook to listen to.

5397
03:11:27,080 --> 03:11:28,040
You should be able to keep it.

5398
03:11:28,380 --> 03:11:29,460
Yeah, you should be able to keep it.

5399
03:11:29,460 --> 03:11:31,080
I don't get this taking it away from

5400
03:11:31,080 --> 03:11:32,800
you because you stop your subscription.

5401
03:11:32,980 --> 03:11:33,860
It sits there in your app.

5402
03:11:33,900 --> 03:11:35,020
You just can't play it anymore.

5403
03:11:35,500 --> 03:11:36,360
They're horrible people.

5404
03:11:36,580 --> 03:11:37,240
They're horrible.

5405
03:11:37,840 --> 03:11:38,860
They're all horrible.

5406
03:11:39,100 --> 03:11:40,160
The same with your music.

5407
03:11:41,620 --> 03:11:43,380
You can't download your music anymore.

5408
03:11:43,460 --> 03:11:44,500
You can't download your movies.

5409
03:11:44,620 --> 03:11:45,240
Sure you can.

5410
03:11:45,700 --> 03:11:46,100
Okay.

5411
03:11:47,340 --> 03:11:48,660
Yeah, you get a VPN.

5412
03:11:48,980 --> 03:11:49,940
Well, I'll talk about it.

5413
03:11:50,060 --> 03:11:51,120
So you with your.

5414
03:11:51,380 --> 03:11:52,460
It'll be another tip of the day.

5415
03:11:52,500 --> 03:11:53,460
You with your VPN.

5416
03:11:53,900 --> 03:11:55,100
I have two ISOs.

5417
03:11:55,160 --> 03:11:55,700
Here's the first.

5418
03:11:55,860 --> 03:11:56,580
I don't know.

5419
03:11:57,840 --> 03:11:58,880
And here's the second.

5420
03:11:58,880 --> 03:11:59,520
You're welcome.

5421
03:12:00,060 --> 03:12:01,500
And that's all I have.

5422
03:12:02,560 --> 03:12:03,720
I was hoping you'd have a bunch.

5423
03:12:03,780 --> 03:12:05,160
I only have the one which I think

5424
03:12:05,160 --> 03:12:05,820
is okay.

5425
03:12:07,460 --> 03:12:07,900
Best.

5426
03:12:08,720 --> 03:12:10,520
And that's the best we can do.

5427
03:12:10,620 --> 03:12:12,380
I think that is a clear winner.

5428
03:12:13,320 --> 03:12:14,200
It's perfect.

5429
03:12:14,440 --> 03:12:15,940
It is always what we do.

5430
03:12:16,120 --> 03:12:16,920
What is it we do?

5431
03:12:17,080 --> 03:12:17,320
Why?

5432
03:12:17,440 --> 03:12:19,220
Because it's the best we can do.

5433
03:12:19,380 --> 03:12:21,700
And now it's time for the infamous and

5434
03:12:21,700 --> 03:12:23,980
dangerous John's tip of the day.

5435
03:12:30,480 --> 03:12:32,800
AJCD and sometimes Adam.

5436
03:12:33,540 --> 03:12:34,640
Created by Dana Brunetti.

5437
03:12:35,160 --> 03:12:35,540
All right.

5438
03:12:35,620 --> 03:12:37,360
This is something that should have been caught

5439
03:12:37,360 --> 03:12:39,140
that everyone should catch on to and start

5440
03:12:39,140 --> 03:12:39,440
doing.

5441
03:12:40,660 --> 03:12:41,100
Yeah.

5442
03:12:41,180 --> 03:12:42,700
And I have one here in my hand

5443
03:12:42,700 --> 03:12:43,100
in my palm.

5444
03:12:43,180 --> 03:12:44,500
I'm holding it now.

5445
03:12:44,820 --> 03:12:46,600
I'm holding the box.

5446
03:12:46,780 --> 03:12:47,600
You're holding it.

5447
03:12:47,860 --> 03:12:48,320
Who was it?

5448
03:12:48,320 --> 03:12:49,800
I forgot who was on that clip.

5449
03:12:50,100 --> 03:12:50,300
Holly.

5450
03:12:50,600 --> 03:12:50,840
Oh yeah.

5451
03:12:51,020 --> 03:12:52,000
Jess, Josh, Holly.

5452
03:12:52,200 --> 03:12:53,580
I have it here in my hand.

5453
03:12:53,640 --> 03:12:54,480
You're holding the box.

5454
03:12:54,540 --> 03:12:54,920
All right.

5455
03:12:55,100 --> 03:12:56,520
What are you holding, sir?

5456
03:12:56,860 --> 03:12:57,900
A dash cam.

5457
03:12:59,100 --> 03:12:59,820
Ah, yeah.

5458
03:13:00,080 --> 03:13:00,800
Do you have a dash cam in your

5459
03:13:00,800 --> 03:13:00,980
car?

5460
03:13:01,080 --> 03:13:01,620
No, I do.

5461
03:13:01,680 --> 03:13:02,200
Does anybody?

5462
03:13:02,720 --> 03:13:03,820
Everyone should have one.

5463
03:13:03,880 --> 03:13:05,400
This is the best way to protect yourself

5464
03:13:05,400 --> 03:13:07,520
against insurance fraud and a lot of other

5465
03:13:07,520 --> 03:13:07,920
things.

5466
03:13:08,240 --> 03:13:10,140
Now, the one I'm holding, I have a

5467
03:13:10,140 --> 03:13:10,840
couple of these.

5468
03:13:10,940 --> 03:13:12,700
I have different brands.

5469
03:13:12,860 --> 03:13:13,600
I've bought this one.

5470
03:13:13,740 --> 03:13:13,980
I have.

5471
03:13:14,120 --> 03:13:15,880
I'm holding in my hand because it was

5472
03:13:15,880 --> 03:13:18,860
sent to me for free from a company

5473
03:13:18,860 --> 03:13:19,780
called Ombar.

5474
03:13:19,880 --> 03:13:21,040
Oh, wait a minute.

5475
03:13:21,120 --> 03:13:22,580
It's John's tip of the day.

5476
03:13:22,720 --> 03:13:23,940
Is it out in the wild now?

5477
03:13:24,020 --> 03:13:25,820
The PR company is like, hey, I got

5478
03:13:25,820 --> 03:13:27,700
great placement for your dashboard.

5479
03:13:27,700 --> 03:13:29,040
Yeah, this is what I'm doing.

5480
03:13:29,160 --> 03:13:29,520
The podcast.

5481
03:13:30,220 --> 03:13:32,760
The tip of the day was designed to

5482
03:13:32,760 --> 03:13:35,340
lure free to me.

5483
03:13:37,120 --> 03:13:39,100
Well, how come you can't get to get

5484
03:13:39,100 --> 03:13:40,140
one for me, too?

5485
03:13:40,460 --> 03:13:41,340
I'll try to.

5486
03:13:41,760 --> 03:13:43,380
I'll work on getting to.

5487
03:13:43,540 --> 03:13:44,980
Well, you know, we both have to look

5488
03:13:44,980 --> 03:13:45,400
at it.

5489
03:13:45,640 --> 03:13:45,820
Yeah.

5490
03:13:45,980 --> 03:13:47,400
We have to evaluate it.

5491
03:13:47,560 --> 03:13:49,620
Get one for Brunetti since he created the

5492
03:13:49,620 --> 03:13:50,080
segment.

5493
03:13:51,120 --> 03:13:52,320
Three, three.

5494
03:13:55,400 --> 03:13:57,800
So this particular one I'm holding in my

5495
03:13:57,800 --> 03:13:59,340
hand because I'm holding it right now.

5496
03:13:59,380 --> 03:14:00,560
My has a three channel.

5497
03:14:01,040 --> 03:14:02,240
And this is what I'd recommend.

5498
03:14:02,500 --> 03:14:04,860
Or even though it's not important, I think

5499
03:14:04,860 --> 03:14:05,420
more important.

5500
03:14:05,540 --> 03:14:07,560
You want a 4K so you can read

5501
03:14:07,560 --> 03:14:08,520
license plates.

5502
03:14:09,240 --> 03:14:12,520
Three channel allows you to have one that

5503
03:14:12,520 --> 03:14:14,820
the three channels are ones, the front facing

5504
03:14:14,820 --> 03:14:17,680
camera, the camera that faces the cabin, and

5505
03:14:17,680 --> 03:14:20,380
then a rear camera, which could come in

5506
03:14:20,380 --> 03:14:21,680
handy if you get rear ended.

5507
03:14:23,300 --> 03:14:27,040
But these are very valuable things, tools for

5508
03:14:27,040 --> 03:14:27,280
you.

5509
03:14:27,360 --> 03:14:29,120
You should have in your car for a

5510
03:14:29,120 --> 03:14:29,620
couple of reasons.

5511
03:14:29,720 --> 03:14:32,260
One, you can collect data as you drive

5512
03:14:32,260 --> 03:14:32,680
around.

5513
03:14:32,860 --> 03:14:34,120
You can just, you know, these are kind

5514
03:14:34,120 --> 03:14:35,800
of interesting, especially in areas that are going

5515
03:14:35,800 --> 03:14:36,700
to burn to the ground.

5516
03:14:36,960 --> 03:14:39,080
In Los Angeles, you want to at least

5517
03:14:39,080 --> 03:14:40,300
have some mementos.

5518
03:14:40,680 --> 03:14:42,360
What it used to look like, that would

5519
03:14:42,360 --> 03:14:42,840
be cool.

5520
03:14:43,580 --> 03:14:45,080
And the other thing is, is to protect

5521
03:14:45,080 --> 03:14:45,460
yourself.

5522
03:14:45,500 --> 03:14:47,320
You get hit by someone or someone runs

5523
03:14:47,320 --> 03:14:49,220
a red light and, you know, and you

5524
03:14:49,220 --> 03:14:49,800
can see it.

5525
03:14:51,160 --> 03:14:52,800
Um, so get a dash.

5526
03:14:53,040 --> 03:14:53,800
Well, which one is it?

5527
03:14:53,860 --> 03:14:56,820
You had, you took their product.

5528
03:14:56,940 --> 03:14:58,080
He didn't even mention it.

5529
03:14:58,500 --> 03:15:00,220
I said it's the own bar.

5530
03:15:00,320 --> 03:15:04,120
Oh, uh, which means one more bar, uh,

5531
03:15:04,120 --> 03:15:05,620
three channel dash cam.

5532
03:15:05,700 --> 03:15:07,160
That's the one I'm pushing.

5533
03:15:07,160 --> 03:15:09,000
And how do you get the video off

5534
03:15:09,000 --> 03:15:09,740
of the dash cam?

5535
03:15:09,820 --> 03:15:10,300
Let me guess.

5536
03:15:10,380 --> 03:15:11,560
Do you know, it's got a port.

5537
03:15:11,640 --> 03:15:12,980
Do you have to connect it to the

5538
03:15:12,980 --> 03:15:14,580
internet and have an account?

5539
03:15:14,720 --> 03:15:16,860
No, you can, you can hook right.

5540
03:15:16,940 --> 03:15:17,800
You just look cable.

5541
03:15:17,800 --> 03:15:19,200
Who's right to the dash cam.

5542
03:15:19,220 --> 03:15:20,080
You can just download.

5543
03:15:20,620 --> 03:15:21,660
You can take, hold on.

5544
03:15:22,420 --> 03:15:23,600
You can do it that way.

5545
03:15:23,660 --> 03:15:25,520
You can take the card out.

5546
03:15:25,840 --> 03:15:26,720
Does it come with a card?

5547
03:15:27,420 --> 03:15:30,060
Yeah, it comes with a 64 gig card,

5548
03:15:30,160 --> 03:15:32,580
even though I would recommend a half terabyte.

5549
03:15:33,600 --> 03:15:35,560
Does it come with a YouTube account to

5550
03:15:35,560 --> 03:15:37,060
upload to the Russian channels?

5551
03:15:37,660 --> 03:15:38,420
No, not yet.

5552
03:15:39,280 --> 03:15:40,800
You can, we can take it off that

5553
03:15:40,800 --> 03:15:42,400
way or you can get an app and

5554
03:15:42,400 --> 03:15:43,780
it will move it to the phone.

5555
03:15:43,940 --> 03:15:45,420
If you want it, but I, I don't

5556
03:15:45,420 --> 03:15:46,000
do that.

5557
03:15:46,140 --> 03:15:46,680
Forget it.

5558
03:15:46,680 --> 03:15:47,720
I'm not going for that.

5559
03:15:47,920 --> 03:15:48,920
Well, I want you to put up some

5560
03:15:48,920 --> 03:15:50,780
of your video, put some of your video

5561
03:15:50,780 --> 03:15:50,960
up.

5562
03:15:51,000 --> 03:15:51,560
That'd be funny.

5563
03:15:52,340 --> 03:15:53,620
If you have some vid, you know what

5564
03:15:53,620 --> 03:15:53,840
I did?

5565
03:15:53,880 --> 03:15:55,760
I took some, I like taking videos.

5566
03:15:55,900 --> 03:15:58,140
I want the in-car camera of you

5567
03:15:58,140 --> 03:16:00,060
driving around San Francisco.

5568
03:16:00,060 --> 03:16:02,200
I don't put the cabin one in, but

5569
03:16:02,200 --> 03:16:03,980
I think people use the cabin one to

5570
03:16:03,980 --> 03:16:04,340
do those.

5571
03:16:04,420 --> 03:16:06,520
All these, uh, tick tocks things.

5572
03:16:06,560 --> 03:16:06,960
Yes.

5573
03:16:07,140 --> 03:16:08,380
You should have got a microphone.

5574
03:16:08,600 --> 03:16:10,280
You should be doing tick tocks before it

5575
03:16:10,280 --> 03:16:10,920
goes away.

5576
03:16:11,260 --> 03:16:12,160
Get it up and running.

5577
03:16:12,280 --> 03:16:13,160
Get your show going.

5578
03:16:13,500 --> 03:16:15,040
Talking about too little, too late.

5579
03:16:17,600 --> 03:16:19,700
Ladies and gentlemen, it is the highlight of

5580
03:16:19,700 --> 03:16:20,200
my day.

5581
03:16:20,280 --> 03:16:21,520
And it should be of yours as well.

5582
03:16:21,580 --> 03:16:23,220
The highlight of every no agenda show.

5583
03:16:23,300 --> 03:16:25,240
It is John's infamous tip of the day,

5584
03:16:25,340 --> 03:16:27,940

5585
03:16:34,880 --> 03:16:42,400
And we are indebted to Dana Brunetti forever

5586
03:16:42,400 --> 03:16:45,040
for coming up with this dynamite OD idea.

5587
03:16:45,520 --> 03:16:47,400
You know, I was watching the today show

5588
03:16:47,400 --> 03:16:49,880
today and I realized it's just, we're doing

5589
03:16:49,880 --> 03:16:52,240
a segment that they, all these morning shows

5590
03:16:52,240 --> 03:16:54,640
are doing, which is plugging products at the

5591
03:16:54,640 --> 03:16:55,380
end of the show.

5592
03:16:56,020 --> 03:16:58,240
Oh, well, then they do it for the

5593
03:16:58,240 --> 03:16:58,900
same reason.

5594
03:16:59,140 --> 03:16:59,860
Free stuff.

5595
03:17:00,320 --> 03:17:01,220
Free stuff.

5596
03:17:02,780 --> 03:17:04,480
We'll see how much free stuff we can

5597
03:17:04,480 --> 03:17:04,720
get.

5598
03:17:05,520 --> 03:17:07,340
At the end of our show, actually the

5599
03:17:07,340 --> 03:17:08,760
real end, we plug the end of show

5600
03:17:08,760 --> 03:17:09,020
mixes.

5601
03:17:09,180 --> 03:17:11,560
David Kector, Rolando Gonzalez is back.

5602
03:17:12,440 --> 03:17:15,880
And Leo Lapuque returns with another fabulous mix.

5603
03:17:16,040 --> 03:17:17,860
We appreciate those guys so much.

5604
03:17:18,700 --> 03:17:20,720
And up next on No Agenda Stream, random

5605
03:17:20,720 --> 03:17:21,320

It's the Brad Pitt catfish.

Coming to you from the heart of the

Texas Hill Country in the morning, everybody.

I'm Adam Curry.

And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain.

5614
03:17:41,380 --> 03:17:42,040

03:17:42,120 --> 03:17:42,520

Until Sunday, everybody.

5622
03:17:53,660 --> 03:17:55,620
Adios, mofos, hui hui.

5623
03:17:57,360 --> 03:17:58,400
And such.

5624
03:18:11,380 --> 03:18:13,420
One time payment of $770.

5625
03:18:19,780 --> 03:18:21,060
Algo chasers.

5626
03:18:21,440 --> 03:18:21,860
That's what they are.

5627
03:18:21,960 --> 03:18:22,920
They're algo chasers.

5628
03:18:23,160 --> 03:18:24,580
Algo chasers.

5629
03:18:24,940 --> 03:18:27,680
Warmest year for the earth since 1851.

5630
03:18:27,880 --> 03:18:28,400
We've been keeping record.

5631
03:18:28,400 --> 03:18:31,080
Prolonged drought and those powerful Santa Ana winds

5632
03:18:31,080 --> 03:18:33,560
set up extreme conditions that have fueled those

5633
03:18:33,560 --> 03:18:35,980
devastating Los Angeles area wildfires.

5634
03:18:36,520 --> 03:18:38,840
Conditions compounded by climate change.

5635
03:18:38,840 --> 03:18:42,600
And today, researchers from NOAA and NASA underline

5636
03:18:45,250 --> 03:18:48,150
that 2024 was the hottest year on record.

5637
03:18:57,730 --> 03:19:03,610
Climate change makes risk to homeowners unpredictable, which

5638
03:19:03,610 --> 03:19:07,770
makes home insurance either unaffordable or flat unavailable.

5639
03:19:08,090 --> 03:19:10,550
Thousands of families have lost their homes this

5640
03:19:10,550 --> 03:19:10,850
week.

5641
03:19:10,850 --> 03:19:13,690
Also gone in the devastating wildfires are pieces

5642
03:19:13,690 --> 03:19:16,390
of Hollywood history with a number of historic

5643
03:19:16,390 --> 03:19:19,750
houses and sets used in iconic TV and

5644
03:19:19,750 --> 03:19:19,990
film.

5645
03:19:20,130 --> 03:19:23,470
My fellow Americans, I'm speaking to you tonight

5646
03:19:23,470 --> 03:19:24,490
from the Oval Office.

5647
03:19:25,550 --> 03:19:29,290
Long ago in New York Harbor, an ironworker

5648
03:19:29,290 --> 03:19:32,690
installed beam after beam, day after day.

5649
03:19:33,690 --> 03:19:37,030
He was joined by steelworkers, stonemasons, engineers.

5650
03:19:37,030 --> 03:19:40,990
They built not just a single structure, but

5651
03:19:40,990 --> 03:19:42,370
a beacon of freedom.

5652
03:19:43,230 --> 03:19:45,810
The very idea of America was so big,

5653
03:19:46,590 --> 03:19:48,510
we felt the entire world needed to see.

5654
03:19:49,030 --> 03:19:50,630
The Statue of Liberty.

5655
03:19:51,110 --> 03:19:54,130
Like America, the Statue of Liberty is not

5656
03:19:54,130 --> 03:19:55,050
standing still.

5657
03:19:56,170 --> 03:19:58,670
Her foot literally steps forward atop a broken

5658
03:19:58,670 --> 03:20:00,750
chain of human bondage.

5659
03:20:01,670 --> 03:20:05,210
She's on the march, and she literally moves.

5660
03:20:05,950 --> 03:20:08,230
She's built the sway back and forth to

5661
03:20:08,230 --> 03:20:11,870
withstand the fury of stormy weather, to stand

5662
03:20:11,870 --> 03:20:13,890
the test of time because storms are always

5663
03:20:13,890 --> 03:20:14,270
coming.

5664
03:20:14,930 --> 03:20:17,790
I still believe in the idea for which

5665
03:20:17,790 --> 03:20:18,890
this nation stands.

5666
03:20:19,690 --> 03:20:22,990
Nation where the strengths of our institutions and

5667
03:20:22,990 --> 03:20:26,070
the character of our people matter and must

5668
03:20:26,070 --> 03:20:26,470
endure.

5669
03:20:27,730 --> 03:20:29,770
Now it's your turn to stand by.

5670
03:20:30,650 --> 03:20:32,270
And you will be the keeper of the

5671
03:20:32,270 --> 03:20:34,550
flame, and you keep the faith.

5672
03:20:35,410 --> 03:20:36,570
I love America.

5673
03:20:37,190 --> 03:20:38,350
You love it too.

5674
03:20:40,570 --> 03:20:43,350
The First Lady of the United States, Jill

5675
03:20:43,350 --> 03:20:43,850
Biden.

5676
03:20:46,290 --> 03:20:49,390
The First Lady of the United States, Dr.

5677
03:20:49,610 --> 03:20:53,010
Jill Biden, indeed, has her own Hail to

5678
03:20:53,010 --> 03:20:56,150
the Chief music, walk-up music just for

5679
03:20:56,150 --> 03:20:56,410
Jill.

5680
03:20:57,370 --> 03:20:59,630
Apparently the Marine Band came up with something

5681
03:20:59,630 --> 03:21:00,370
for her.

5682
03:21:03,350 --> 03:21:04,350
Hey, wait a second.

5683
03:21:05,530 --> 03:21:09,030
This sounds exactly like intro music to a

5684
03:21:09,030 --> 03:21:11,990
show from 1965 called F-Troop.

5685
03:21:12,250 --> 03:21:12,910
What's going on here?

5686
03:21:12,970 --> 03:21:13,810
We're shooting a gun.

5687
03:21:14,950 --> 03:21:15,910
That's definitely it.

5688
03:21:15,910 --> 03:21:17,170
There's no way it's anything else.

5689
03:21:17,650 --> 03:21:19,510
She's all part of the group that is

5690
03:21:19,510 --> 03:21:20,010
effing us.

5691
03:21:20,230 --> 03:21:22,750
Ain't exactly a million less for Indians either.

5692
03:21:22,750 --> 03:21:30,920
F-Troop, the best podcast in the universe.

5693
03:21:31,340 --> 03:21:32,700
Adios, mofo.

5694
03:21:32,800 --> 03:21:36,220
Dvorak.org slash N-A.

5695
03:21:36,520 --> 03:21:38,900
And that's the best we can do.
