1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,860
What court do I own that there's a

2
00:00:01,860 --> 00:00:02,460
ball in there?

3
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,780
Get the ball out of here.

4
00:00:04,060 --> 00:00:05,800
Adam Currie, John C.

5
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:06,400
Dvorak.

6
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,380
It's early March 13th, 2025.

7
00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:10,120
This is your award-winning give on Asian

8
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:12,680
media assassination episode 1746.

9
00:00:13,020 --> 00:00:14,660
This is no agenda.

10
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,500
Awaiting peace from Putin.

11
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,160
And broadcasting live from the heart of the

12
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,420
Texas hill country here in FEMA region number

13
00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:23,860
six.

14
00:00:24,220 --> 00:00:26,440
In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Currie.

15
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,160
And from northern Silicon Valley where Michelle Obama

16
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,140
has a podcast.

17
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,080
Next up, Meghan Markle.

18
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:33,300
I'm John C.

19
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:33,780
Dvorak.

20
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,060
I'm pretty sure Meghan Markle already has a

21
00:00:40,060 --> 00:00:40,360
podcast.

22
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,760
She had a Spotify exclusive for a while.

23
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:47,900
Well, she's got a new podcast from Canary

24
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:48,360
Island.

25
00:00:48,540 --> 00:00:49,160
Meghan Markin?

26
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:49,880
Markin.

27
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Meghan Markin.

28
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:52,320
Meghan Markin.

29
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,160
She's got one too.

30
00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:54,120
Everybody does.

31
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:54,760
Who doesn't?

32
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,000
Oh, did you hear any of that Michelle

33
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Obama podcast?

34
00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:00,880
It's so bad.

35
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,319
Somebody pointed out there was like 11 million

36
00:01:03,319 --> 00:01:05,740
people, 11 million, 11,000 people that listen

37
00:01:05,740 --> 00:01:07,520
to it, but yet she sells 11 million

38
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:07,880
books.

39
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:08,820
How does that work?

40
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:10,420
I don't know.

41
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:11,740
The books are a scam.

42
00:01:11,980 --> 00:01:12,500
Here it is.

43
00:01:14,020 --> 00:01:14,980
Hey everybody.

44
00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:15,560
Hello.

45
00:01:15,860 --> 00:01:16,720
It's time for the podcast.

46
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:18,320
Let's rock and roll.

47
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,720
This episode is brought to you by PineSol

48
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,320
and Daraflu.

49
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:23,040
PineSol and Daraflu.

50
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:23,760
Hey.

51
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,100
Well, hi again.

52
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,720
Hey, hi.

53
00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:26,360
It's you again.

54
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,740
Oh, I like your, is that pink?

55
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,040
It's, my wife called it coral, but it

56
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:33,160
could be pink.

57
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:33,940
Yeah, it is coral.

58
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,520
And it's a little pleated.

59
00:01:35,780 --> 00:01:38,360
That goes on for two minutes.

60
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,040
That's what you're supposed to do before the

61
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,280
episode starts, people.

62
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,060
That's what we do.

63
00:01:45,140 --> 00:01:46,640
We talk about relevant stuff.

64
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,220
Is your wife that guy?

65
00:01:47,660 --> 00:01:52,260
Yeah, I guess Craig, her brother has...

66
00:01:54,660 --> 00:01:55,600
What was that?

67
00:01:55,780 --> 00:01:56,380
I don't know.

68
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,100
It just popped out.

69
00:01:59,100 --> 00:01:59,740
That's good.

70
00:01:59,860 --> 00:02:01,280
You know, this is her ramping up for

71
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:01,920
2028.

72
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:02,740
She's getting ready.

73
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:04,640
Finally, Big Mike 2028.

74
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,780
I need to register the new domain name.

75
00:02:08,180 --> 00:02:08,740
That's what you do.

76
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:09,820
By now it's too late.

77
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:10,700
No, it's way too late.

78
00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:11,520
I'm tired of it.

79
00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:13,000
I got too many domain names.

80
00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:15,720
Registering domain names for everybody.

81
00:02:16,420 --> 00:02:18,360
But it's almost like we're going back in

82
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:18,680
time.

83
00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:21,420
It's almost like we're rewinding the clock.

84
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,040
Eight years.

85
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:25,140
It's really quite incredible.

86
00:02:25,940 --> 00:02:29,300
People ask why we're on our final four

87
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:30,180
years of the show.

88
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,700
And I would say this is kind of

89
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:33,140
the reason.

90
00:02:33,260 --> 00:02:34,480
This is from Deutsche Welle.

91
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,600
This came over the transom yesterday.

92
00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:39,880
From day one of Russia's full-scale invasion

93
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,800
of Ukraine, the allegiance of Washington to Kiev

94
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,540
has been steadfast and strong.

95
00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:46,220
Three years long.

96
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,020
And then Donald Trump was elected U.S.

97
00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:49,860
president again.

98
00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:52,780
And that allegiance, it seemed to disintegrate overnight.

99
00:02:53,420 --> 00:02:56,360
Trump has called Ukrainian President Zelensky a dictator.

100
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,080
The U.S. is demanding difficult things from

101
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,000
Ukraine if there is to be a ceasefire.

102
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,100
And from Russia, no demands at all.

103
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:07,120
Tonight, my guest says this all makes sense

104
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,660
once you realize what Donald Trump really is.

105
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,840
A Russian asset.

106
00:03:14,540 --> 00:03:15,980
Yeah, baby, we're back.

107
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:17,560
The time machine is in effect.

108
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,300
So you don't think telling the Russians to

109
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:22,620
stop shooting is not a demand?

110
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,040
It's really quite...

111
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:25,960
Do you want to hear this guy?

112
00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:27,200
This New York Times journalist.

113
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:27,960
You want to hear him?

114
00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:28,720
What he had to say?

115
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,840
His rationale for saying that Trump is still

116
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,520
a Russian...

117
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,580
This is all new.

118
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,540
Yeah, Russian asset.

119
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,040
That's an interesting concept.

120
00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:39,500
Whoever heard of such a thing?

121
00:03:39,580 --> 00:03:40,500
Yeah, I'd love to hear it.

122
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,080
Well, we all know it started with the

123
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,440
dressing down of Zelensky in the Oval Office.

124
00:03:44,540 --> 00:03:46,580
My first guest says that Donald Trump is

125
00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:48,320
indeed a Russian asset.

126
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,600
I'm happy to welcome the journalist and New

127
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,240
York Times bestselling author.

128
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,740
Not just a Russian asset, but indeed.

129
00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:53,360
Indeed.

130
00:03:53,660 --> 00:03:55,340
Craig Unger to the show.

131
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,880
Tell us, what does that mean?

132
00:03:56,980 --> 00:03:58,920
And I'm assuming that there is a difference

133
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,160
between a Russian agent and a Russian asset.

134
00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:05,480
Wow, the journalism is so in depth at

135
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,140
Deutsche Welle.

136
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:06,940
Absolutely.

137
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:10,360
An agent is employed by an intelligence agency.

138
00:04:10,860 --> 00:04:13,520
He or she knows that he's employed, they're

139
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:13,880
employed.

140
00:04:14,540 --> 00:04:16,740
They get paid by them and they can

141
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:19,140
be tasked with specific operations.

142
00:04:19,660 --> 00:04:20,899
An asset is very different.

143
00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:24,600
An asset is more like a reliable friend,

144
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,020
someone that...

145
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,440
This is going to get great.

146
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,940
Listen to who he says is also a

147
00:04:31,940 --> 00:04:32,780
Russian asset.

148
00:04:33,020 --> 00:04:33,900
The KGB could trust.

149
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,840
In the past, the KGB had a history

150
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:42,060
of developing relationships with very wealthy billionaires like

151
00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:45,040
Armand Hammer, who was head of Occidental Petroleum

152
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,380
and made a fortune with oil deals with

153
00:04:48,380 --> 00:04:49,380
the Soviet Union.

154
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:53,480
Or Robert Maxwell, the late British press baron,

155
00:04:53,540 --> 00:04:55,120
who was also close to the KGB.

156
00:04:55,460 --> 00:04:56,740
They were considered assets.

157
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,720
And I think of Donald Trump in the

158
00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,620
same vein.

159
00:05:00,380 --> 00:05:03,760
This started to happen in the early 80s,

160
00:05:03,780 --> 00:05:06,660
just as some of those people were aging

161
00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:08,280
out as former assets.

162
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,780
So Robert Maxwell, who I think was more

163
00:05:11,780 --> 00:05:15,680
known as a Mossad agent than a KGB

164
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,380
agent, and Armand Hammer, is that the baking

165
00:05:20,380 --> 00:05:20,960
soda guy?

166
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,000
Armand Hammer is a very famous CEO of

167
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,100
Occidental Petroleum.

168
00:05:26,940 --> 00:05:28,540
And he probably did a deal.

169
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:30,180
He just did deals all over the place.

170
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:31,720
That's what he was known for.

171
00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:33,760
He was not a Russian asset by any

172
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,040
means that anyone that I've ever heard of.

173
00:05:36,380 --> 00:05:37,460
I've never heard that before.

174
00:05:37,460 --> 00:05:38,640
This guy wrote the book.

175
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,160
He should know.

176
00:05:39,220 --> 00:05:40,100
He's in the New York Times.

177
00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:42,640
But this is the most startling thing, is

178
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,720
when this started.

179
00:05:43,940 --> 00:05:47,300
Do you know when President Trump was recruited

180
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:48,920
as an asset by the KGB?

181
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,680
Well, he said 1980.

182
00:05:49,940 --> 00:05:50,460
No, no, not.

183
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,380
OK, that's the year.

184
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,240
But under what circumstances?

185
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:56,640
This is so...

186
00:05:57,220 --> 00:05:59,180
Hookers peeing on him in a hotel?

187
00:05:59,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Close.

188
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,580
A little less exciting.

189
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,120
Well, how did Donald Trump become a Russian

190
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:04,760
asset?

191
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,780
It really started in 1980.

192
00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:09,080
And Trump was not nearly as successful as

193
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,720
businessmen, as many people think.

194
00:06:11,140 --> 00:06:13,340
But in 1980, he had his first great

195
00:06:13,340 --> 00:06:13,860
success.

196
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,500
He was developing the Grand Hyatt Hotel, which

197
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:19,600
is still there next to Grand Central Station.

198
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,280
And like any hotel, it needed television sets.

199
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,240
Trump ended up buying those television sets in

200
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,600
a deal with an electronic store that happened

201
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,960
to be a KGB front.

202
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,120
There you go.

203
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,140
So I went into this TV store.

204
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,760
I went into a TV store to buy

205
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,340
some TVs for my hotel.

206
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,060
And what do you know?

207
00:06:43,140 --> 00:06:44,720
They said, hey, Donald, I make you a

208
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:45,800
deal you cannot refuse.

209
00:06:46,060 --> 00:06:49,140
An electronic store that happened to be a

210
00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:50,060
KGB front.

211
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,840
And that's how it started in 1980.

212
00:06:55,060 --> 00:06:58,260
And it started a series of meetings between

213
00:06:58,260 --> 00:07:00,840
Trump and people who are in the KGB.

214
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,860
There was a woman named Natalia Dubonina who

215
00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:04,620
met with Trump.

216
00:07:04,820 --> 00:07:09,380
Her father was ambassador to the Soviet ambassador

217
00:07:09,380 --> 00:07:11,620
to the United Nations and later the United

218
00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:12,140
States.

219
00:07:12,820 --> 00:07:16,440
And this relationship started and it evolved until

220
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,420
1987 when the KGB sent Trump to Moscow.

221
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,420
They say, hey, Donald, we're sending you to

222
00:07:24,420 --> 00:07:24,800
Moscow.

223
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:27,740
They sent him to Moscow.

224
00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:28,880
They sent him to Moscow.

225
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,660
It's really quite...

226
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:31,820
He didn't go to Moscow.

227
00:07:32,180 --> 00:07:34,480
Yeah, they sent him a plane ticket and

228
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:34,860
everything.

229
00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:38,460
It's quite astounding.

230
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,340
And the Deutsche Welle would take this guy

231
00:07:42,340 --> 00:07:44,000
and put him on the air for like

232
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,480
six minutes with this nonsense.

233
00:07:46,540 --> 00:07:47,900
It's really, really astounding.

234
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:48,900
That's a good find.

235
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,540
It was right in my face.

236
00:07:52,340 --> 00:07:55,360
So we are apparently getting closer to the

237
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:55,500
deal.

238
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:57,420
We've got Zelensky all wrapped up.

239
00:07:58,380 --> 00:08:00,940
Before you go on, the funny thing is

240
00:08:00,940 --> 00:08:03,860
that there's flip-flops because Trump's been pulling

241
00:08:03,860 --> 00:08:05,440
this stunt off quite well.

242
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,600
All of a sudden, Zelensky is now...

243
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,800
Now we're pro-Zelensky, according to other reports.

244
00:08:12,340 --> 00:08:15,580
And he's starting to threaten Russia.

245
00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:16,280
I have a clip.

246
00:08:17,180 --> 00:08:18,500
I don't want to play it now, but

247
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:21,240
I'm just saying that this is all nonsense.

248
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:22,160
It's crazy.

249
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,500
Here is...

250
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:25,860
So this is from France 24 or France

251
00:08:25,860 --> 00:08:26,160
24.

252
00:08:27,380 --> 00:08:29,360
And it looks like Zelensky is ready for

253
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:29,680
a deal.

254
00:08:29,820 --> 00:08:32,140
Vladimir Zelensky, of course, was in Saudi Arabia

255
00:08:32,140 --> 00:08:34,679
ahead of the talks, but not involved in

256
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:35,360
what was going on.

257
00:08:35,380 --> 00:08:36,460
But let's get his reaction.

258
00:08:36,620 --> 00:08:37,240
Vladimir Zelensky.

259
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,020
The American side understands our arguments and accepts

260
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:41,700
our proposals.

261
00:08:42,020 --> 00:08:43,760
I want to thank President Trump for the

262
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,880
constructive nature of our team's discussion.

263
00:08:46,340 --> 00:08:49,080
Today, the American side proposed taking the next

264
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,560
step immediately, establishing a full ceasefire for 30

265
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:52,960
days.

266
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,420
This would not only apply for missiles, drones

267
00:08:56,420 --> 00:08:58,740
and bombs, and not only in the Black

268
00:08:58,740 --> 00:09:00,960
Sea, but along the entire front line.

269
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:02,840
Ukraine welcomes this proposal.

270
00:09:03,220 --> 00:09:04,860
We see it as a positive step and

271
00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:05,780
are ready to take it.

272
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,400
The United States must now convince Russia to

273
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,020
do the same.

274
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:11,920
If they agree, the ceasefire will take effect

275
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,480
immediately.

276
00:09:12,980 --> 00:09:16,060
Another key element of today's discussion was America's

277
00:09:16,060 --> 00:09:18,980
readiness to restore defensive aid to Ukraine, including

278
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:20,180
intelligence support.

279
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,420
If agreements are implemented, then within these 30

280
00:09:23,420 --> 00:09:25,520
days of silence, we can work with our

281
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,500
partners to develop concrete security guarantees that ensure

282
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:29,380
lasting peace.

283
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,100
Ukraine is ready for peace.

284
00:09:31,340 --> 00:09:33,600
Now Russia must show whether it is ready

285
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,420
to end or to continue the war.

286
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:37,560
It is time for the full truth.

287
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:40,860
Okay, so then we have, this is the

288
00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:42,620
second of these two clips, same report.

289
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,660
Marco Rubio, of course, our Secretary of State

290
00:09:46,660 --> 00:09:48,320
is in charge of this and he says

291
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,840
the ball, the ball is in Putin's court

292
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:51,440
right now.

293
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,680
In Ukraine, the result of today's talks in

294
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:57,400
Saudi Arabia really is being viewed as probably

295
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,420
the best possible result that the country could

296
00:09:59,420 --> 00:10:03,420
reasonably expect and effective immediately.

297
00:10:03,620 --> 00:10:05,580
We heard those words there from Mike Waltz,

298
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,980
the resumption of US security assistance to Ukraine

299
00:10:08,980 --> 00:10:11,560
and intelligence sharing after it was suspended by

300
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:14,660
Donald Trump after his disastrous meeting with Volodymyr

301
00:10:14,660 --> 00:10:16,340
Zelensky in the Oval Office.

302
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,040
That was the number one objective of the

303
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,460
Ukrainian delegation in Saudi Arabia today, to get

304
00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:23,320
the Americans to resume military aid to Ukraine

305
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,420
and they're going to do that regardless of

306
00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:27,440
whether Russia accepts the ceasefire and whether the

307
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,120
ceasefire really materializes.

308
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,980
Their second most important objective was to put

309
00:10:31,980 --> 00:10:33,980
the ball in Russia's court and Marco Rubio

310
00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:36,440
used those exact words to show that they

311
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,880
are willing to make peace and now challenge

312
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,820
Russia to show whether or not Russia is

313
00:10:40,820 --> 00:10:42,040
willing to make peace.

314
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,240
And I think the Russians now have a

315
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,280
difficult decision to make because they're the ones

316
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,300
attacking at the moment.

317
00:10:47,420 --> 00:10:48,380
The Ukrainians are defending.

318
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:49,920
It's a lot easier to agree to a

319
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,900
ceasefire when you're on the defensive.

320
00:10:52,060 --> 00:10:53,580
The Russians, if they agree to a ceasefire

321
00:10:53,580 --> 00:10:56,740
right now, that means that their attempts to

322
00:10:56,740 --> 00:10:59,920
retake that key town that the Ukrainians occupy

323
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,160
in Kursk region, they're on the brink of

324
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:02,740
retaking it.

325
00:11:02,780 --> 00:11:04,100
They might have to stop if they agree

326
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:04,780
to the ceasefire.

327
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,200
They also have not yet achieved their key

328
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,860
goals in Donbass of taking the strategic towns

329
00:11:09,860 --> 00:11:12,140
of Chasiv Yar and Pokrovsk.

330
00:11:12,180 --> 00:11:14,100
So the Russians will be loathe to stop

331
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:15,900
fighting now while the Ukrainians are on the

332
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:16,260
back foot.

333
00:11:16,340 --> 00:11:18,100
On the other hand, the Americans have made

334
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:19,480
it very clear that they are going to

335
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,160
put pressure on the Russians and Donald Trump

336
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,880
said that he very much hopes that the

337
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,860
Russian side will agree to the ceasefire.

338
00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:28,260
So now the Russians have got expectations.

339
00:11:29,020 --> 00:11:31,300
Finally, the Ukrainians are perhaps about to see

340
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:33,940
the Americans putting some pressure on the Russians.

341
00:11:34,060 --> 00:11:35,220
I mean, I think some people this evening

342
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:36,500
are thinking it's almost too good to be

343
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:38,060
true and wondering what's the catch.

344
00:11:38,380 --> 00:11:39,140
Too good to be true.

345
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:40,540
But probably is.

346
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,960
Why don't you explain, why don't you explain,

347
00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:44,320
since this guy didn't, I don't know if

348
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,520
he's a British guy, I don't know where

349
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,000
you got that.

350
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,780
Yeah, it's the same Franz von Katra.

351
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,320
The guy should be fired.

352
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,100
Done.

353
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,080
What does ball in court mean?

354
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,900
That means we are not playing cards, we

355
00:11:57,900 --> 00:11:58,800
are playing basketball.

356
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:00,640
Football.

357
00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:01,280
Not tennis?

358
00:12:01,740 --> 00:12:02,140
Football.

359
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:02,760
Football.

360
00:12:03,660 --> 00:12:05,200
There's no football courts.

361
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,220
You know what, you know what it means,

362
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:07,680
the ball.

363
00:12:07,740 --> 00:12:08,340
What does it mean?

364
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:09,980
It means, well, the ball is in your

365
00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:10,260
court.

366
00:12:10,260 --> 00:12:11,380
And why is he using it as a

367
00:12:11,380 --> 00:12:11,740
phrase?

368
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,040
And is it an American phrase?

369
00:12:14,140 --> 00:12:15,220
Is it an international phrase?

370
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,700
And what, what court are we talking about?

371
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,300
And what, and just explain, it's bull crap.

372
00:12:20,540 --> 00:12:22,240
There is no such thing as a ball

373
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:22,920
in a court.

374
00:12:24,340 --> 00:12:25,660
Okay, you're now taking it.

375
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,180
So a phrase has always bugged me.

376
00:12:29,340 --> 00:12:30,560
Clearly it's bugged you.

377
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:31,400
What am I doing?

378
00:12:31,580 --> 00:12:31,980
What do I mean?

379
00:12:32,060 --> 00:12:33,820
What court do I own that there's a

380
00:12:33,820 --> 00:12:34,380
ball in there?

381
00:12:34,460 --> 00:12:35,720
Get the ball out of here.

382
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,140
Okay, I'm glad you got that off your

383
00:12:38,140 --> 00:12:40,140
chest after 60 years.

384
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:40,800
About time.

385
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,860
Oh, it's at minimum.

386
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,000
This is very urgent.

387
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:44,360
Minimum.

388
00:12:45,060 --> 00:12:47,260
Is it a tennis court we're talking about?

389
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:47,860
It's a sport.

390
00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:48,900
Or a basketball court.

391
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,820
A sports ball court.

392
00:12:50,340 --> 00:12:52,960
Okay, well, since you are so bugged about

393
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:53,860
it, I'll look it up.

394
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,900
I can look up the balls in your

395
00:12:57,900 --> 00:12:58,500
court.

396
00:12:58,740 --> 00:13:00,140
You can actually look it up and follow

397
00:13:00,140 --> 00:13:00,800
up on this.

398
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:01,860
Yeah, well, of course.

399
00:13:02,020 --> 00:13:04,720
I mean, this, the ball is the origin

400
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,480
and meaning.

401
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,340
Okay, it is, yes.

402
00:13:08,740 --> 00:13:11,180
The idiom, it's an idiom, John.

403
00:13:11,860 --> 00:13:16,500
The idiom originates from the sport of tennis.

404
00:13:17,220 --> 00:13:19,720
Once the tennis ball has been hit over

405
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,400
the net, thus the onus to act, i

406
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,700
.e. play the next shot, switches to the

407
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:27,080
person whose half of the court contains the

408
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:27,400
ball.

409
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,540
Or the ball is in your half a

410
00:13:30,540 --> 00:13:31,560
court, it should be then.

411
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,840
It should be the balls in your half

412
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:34,200
court.

413
00:13:34,580 --> 00:13:40,840
And by this, I proclaim today, March 13th,

414
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,800
ball in your half of court day.

415
00:13:44,830 --> 00:13:46,390
I think it's all a metaphor.

416
00:13:46,890 --> 00:13:48,070
I'm just guessing.

417
00:13:49,530 --> 00:13:52,190
It started around the 19th century, but really

418
00:13:52,190 --> 00:13:54,950
became popular in the 1970s, around the time

419
00:13:54,950 --> 00:13:57,530
that Billie Jean King rose to fame.

420
00:13:58,730 --> 00:13:59,130
Please.

421
00:13:59,710 --> 00:14:00,690
Speaking of ball in your court.

422
00:14:01,370 --> 00:14:01,770
All right.

423
00:14:01,930 --> 00:14:03,290
I mean, I can continue, but you said

424
00:14:03,290 --> 00:14:05,150
you had some Russia clips you wanted to

425
00:14:05,150 --> 00:14:05,770
get out there.

426
00:14:05,810 --> 00:14:07,610
Well, actually, I have the Ukraine, Russia stuff

427
00:14:07,610 --> 00:14:08,310
from the BBC.

428
00:14:09,070 --> 00:14:10,410
Today's my BBC day.

429
00:14:10,650 --> 00:14:12,350
Oh, this is not just the BBC.

430
00:14:12,510 --> 00:14:15,330
This is BBC World Service, which is short

431
00:14:15,330 --> 00:14:15,830
wave.

432
00:14:15,830 --> 00:14:18,290
Which is usually only about Africa.

433
00:14:18,530 --> 00:14:20,530
Whenever I listen to BBC World News, it's

434
00:14:20,530 --> 00:14:22,470
always some African world service.

435
00:14:22,650 --> 00:14:23,390
Let's get it straight.

436
00:14:23,510 --> 00:14:24,790
That's a world service.

437
00:14:24,930 --> 00:14:25,110
Yeah.

438
00:14:25,470 --> 00:14:26,670
It's like, okay.

439
00:14:27,090 --> 00:14:28,210
It's never interesting.

440
00:14:28,850 --> 00:14:30,510
And it's always on in the hotel.

441
00:14:30,670 --> 00:14:31,230
They never is.

442
00:14:31,410 --> 00:14:33,070
The first thing you see in any hotel

443
00:14:33,070 --> 00:14:35,170
in Europe is BBC World Service.

444
00:14:36,390 --> 00:14:37,090
It's annoying.

445
00:14:38,110 --> 00:14:38,950
All right, here we go.

446
00:14:39,370 --> 00:14:41,490
Let's start with Russia, BCK.

447
00:14:41,490 --> 00:14:44,030
But in the past few hours, footage has

448
00:14:44,030 --> 00:14:46,590
been released of Vladimir Putin, apparently visiting a

449
00:14:46,590 --> 00:14:49,830
command post in Kursk, the Russian region partly

450
00:14:49,830 --> 00:14:51,990
captured by Ukrainian forces last year.

451
00:14:53,130 --> 00:14:55,350
I very much expect that all combat tasks

452
00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:57,910
will be fulfilled and the territory of Kursk

453
00:14:57,910 --> 00:15:00,910
will be completely liberated from the enemy, Mr

454
00:15:00,910 --> 00:15:03,510
Putin said, dressed in camouflage gear.

455
00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:07,250
The Russian chief of staff, General Valery Gerasimov,

456
00:15:07,250 --> 00:15:10,210
told him Russian forces had now recaptured 86

457
00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:12,250
% of the occupied land.

458
00:15:12,930 --> 00:15:15,990
Ukraine has acknowledged some setbacks there, but said

459
00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:17,310
fighting was continuing.

460
00:15:17,950 --> 00:15:18,650
Russia's gain...

461
00:15:18,650 --> 00:15:19,550
Hold on.

462
00:15:20,410 --> 00:15:23,330
You lose 86% and that's, quote unquote,

463
00:15:23,610 --> 00:15:24,970
some setback?

464
00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:28,210
It's quite the setback, I believe.

465
00:15:28,930 --> 00:15:29,730
But it's some...

466
00:15:29,730 --> 00:15:31,950
These guys, they're in the game.

467
00:15:32,130 --> 00:15:33,550
The ball's in their court too.

468
00:15:33,550 --> 00:15:36,390
...as the US waits for the Kremlin's response

469
00:15:36,390 --> 00:15:39,550
to the American ceasefire proposal agreed by Ukraine

470
00:15:39,550 --> 00:15:40,050
yesterday.

471
00:15:40,370 --> 00:15:42,730
So what is the likely thinking in Moscow?

472
00:15:43,370 --> 00:15:45,330
I asked Lisa Vogt of the BBC Russian

473
00:15:45,330 --> 00:15:45,750
service.

474
00:15:46,030 --> 00:15:47,970
By the way, you'd expect the BBC of

475
00:15:47,970 --> 00:15:50,870
all broadcast organizations to use the ball in

476
00:15:50,870 --> 00:15:51,770
your court metaphor.

477
00:15:52,050 --> 00:15:52,690
I'm surprised.

478
00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:53,690
Very surprised.

479
00:15:54,010 --> 00:15:56,790
Previously, Vladimir Putin had said on many occasions

480
00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:59,130
that Russia is just not interested in a

481
00:15:59,130 --> 00:16:02,590
simple ceasefire and would like to hear more

482
00:16:02,590 --> 00:16:05,390
concrete and solid proposals for a peace settlement,

483
00:16:05,630 --> 00:16:08,570
of course, that would meet most Russia's terms.

484
00:16:08,810 --> 00:16:11,470
But right now, Russia is in a more

485
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:13,890
difficult position than I think it was before

486
00:16:13,890 --> 00:16:18,190
this US-Ukraine talks in Riyadh, because for

487
00:16:18,190 --> 00:16:21,890
weeks now, we've seen America making demands of

488
00:16:21,890 --> 00:16:23,990
Ukraine and of Vladimir Zelensky.

489
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:26,650
And now the US is actually asking something

490
00:16:26,650 --> 00:16:29,570
from Vladimir Putin, from Russia for the first

491
00:16:29,570 --> 00:16:30,290
time in weeks.

492
00:16:30,410 --> 00:16:33,050
That's not what Deutsche Welle said.

493
00:16:33,370 --> 00:16:34,350
You mean France 24?

494
00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:38,110
Oh, whoever that, wherever that New York Times

495
00:16:38,110 --> 00:16:38,210
was.

496
00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:40,030
No, they did not say they were asking

497
00:16:40,030 --> 00:16:40,550
for something.

498
00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:42,610
They in fact said the ball's in your

499
00:16:42,610 --> 00:16:42,970
court.

500
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:46,640
Is that what you're saying?

501
00:16:46,980 --> 00:16:47,820
The ball's in the court.

502
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,260
Yes, the US is actually asking something from

503
00:16:52,260 --> 00:16:54,680
Vladimir Putin, from Russia for the first time

504
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,100
in weeks.

505
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:56,680
And it's going to be interesting to see

506
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,820
how Russia is going to respond to that.

507
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,040
Because it comes at a time when Russia

508
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,040
appears to be making advances on the battlefield.

509
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,000
So I guess they may not want to

510
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:07,300
pause.

511
00:17:07,819 --> 00:17:08,420
Yes, of course.

512
00:17:08,579 --> 00:17:11,920
And most importantly, they've just advanced their position

513
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,160
in Kursk region.

514
00:17:13,339 --> 00:17:15,560
Now they're slowly gaining ground.

515
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,880
I have a question since we're ant-effing

516
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,960
about all this stuff.

517
00:17:21,020 --> 00:17:23,619
Why do they never say the Kursk region?

518
00:17:23,619 --> 00:17:25,579
Why is it always in Kursk region?

519
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:27,800
In Kursk.

520
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,240
Why don't they say in the Kursk region?

521
00:17:31,340 --> 00:17:32,720
It's always in Kursk region.

522
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:37,000
Because everyone's easy to say the Ukraine, the

523
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,140
Ukraine, even though it's just Ukraine.

524
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,580
It's like in university.

525
00:17:42,340 --> 00:17:44,320
He's been accepted in university.

526
00:17:44,820 --> 00:17:47,120
This is the Europeans and the way they

527
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:47,440
speak.

528
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,660
It's got nothing to do with us.

529
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:49,080
All right.

530
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,200
Yes, of course.

531
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,720
And most importantly, they've just advanced their position

532
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,760
in Kursk region.

533
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,940
Now they're slowly gaining ground, losing a lot

534
00:17:57,940 --> 00:17:59,140
of soldiers in the process.

535
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,840
But I think this is the price that

536
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,160
Russia is ready to pay, as Vladimir Putin

537
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,740
has indicated over those months and years of

538
00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:07,700
fighting.

539
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,880
But indeed, for Russia right now, just stopping

540
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,760
where they are, potentially meaning getting no ground

541
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,660
in Ukraine, which was one of the main

542
00:18:17,660 --> 00:18:18,180
objectives.

543
00:18:18,540 --> 00:18:18,820
Yeah.

544
00:18:18,820 --> 00:18:20,420
I think she may have a point.

545
00:18:22,300 --> 00:18:23,040
Her head.

546
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,340
OK, next clip.

547
00:18:26,780 --> 00:18:27,560
Yeah, sure.

548
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:31,600
Russia indicated many times that it wants Ukraine

549
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,720
to make many more concessions.

550
00:18:33,820 --> 00:18:37,200
It wants other countries to recognize Russian sovereignty

551
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,780
over the lands that are captured in Ukraine.

552
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:43,100
It wants Ukraine to give up any hope

553
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:44,000
of joining NATO.

554
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:45,680
It wants to see sanctions relief.

555
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,340
And I think for Russia, it's just not

556
00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:50,420
clear at the moment whether the ceasefire is

557
00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:52,700
just going to be connected to this discussion

558
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:56,400
about bigger goals that Russia wants to achieve

559
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,060
in Ukraine.

560
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,080
Now, you said that Russia is in a

561
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,180
more difficult position than it's faced for some

562
00:19:01,180 --> 00:19:01,820
time.

563
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:05,680
I mean, in terms of what's happened with

564
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,680
Donald Trump now apparently moving towards the Ukrainians,

565
00:19:09,780 --> 00:19:12,380
what's been the reaction to that in Russia?

566
00:19:12,380 --> 00:19:17,240
I think generally any reaction, just the assessment

567
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,180
of this new track in the relationship with

568
00:19:21,180 --> 00:19:24,620
Washington, D.C., has been somewhat restrained.

569
00:19:24,740 --> 00:19:26,660
And Putin himself has been very, very cautious.

570
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,780
He praised Trump for taking this new line

571
00:19:29,780 --> 00:19:31,500
in his relationship with Moscow.

572
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,280
Vladimir Putin said that it gives hope, but

573
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,420
always very cautious in any assessment of whether

574
00:19:37,420 --> 00:19:41,300
this new relationship, this dialogue can actually lead

575
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:42,300
to peace.

576
00:19:42,380 --> 00:19:45,140
Well, I think the BBC, is this report

577
00:19:45,140 --> 00:19:46,300
from today or from yesterday?

578
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,180
It's from yesterday.

579
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:49,040
Okay.

580
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,580
So we have a little bit of an

581
00:19:50,580 --> 00:19:53,380
update and I think the BBC is not

582
00:19:53,380 --> 00:19:55,040
far from the truth.

583
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,120
This is, let me see, this is a

584
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:03,580
report that came through from Kursk region.

585
00:20:03,780 --> 00:20:04,420
Kursk region.

586
00:20:04,940 --> 00:20:05,740
Kursk region.

587
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:08,680
Russia is close to kicking out Ukrainian forces

588
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,220
from their territory, bringing an end to a

589
00:20:11,220 --> 00:20:13,900
brutal operation in the Kursk region, according to

590
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:16,120
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

591
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:19,080
On Wednesday, Vladimir Putin visited his commanders on

592
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:19,720
the front line.

593
00:20:19,860 --> 00:20:22,180
His demand was clear, liberate Kursk.

594
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,780
I very much hope that all combat missions

595
00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:27,280
facing our units will be fulfilled and that

596
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,360
the territory of the Kursk region will be

597
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:31,540
completely liberated from the enemy in the near

598
00:20:31,540 --> 00:20:31,980
future.

599
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,040
As ceasefire negotiations make progress, Russia has ramped

600
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,420
up the pressure to retake the territory they

601
00:20:38,420 --> 00:20:42,120
lost after Ukraine's surprise counteroffensive in August, the

602
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:45,120
first foreign occupation of Russian territory since World

603
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:45,640
War II.

604
00:20:45,980 --> 00:20:48,420
Shortly after the US paused both military and

605
00:20:48,420 --> 00:20:51,400
intelligence support to Ukraine, Russia launched a daring

606
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,560
assault behind enemy lines, using a pipeline to

607
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,700
crawl under Ukraine's line of defense.

608
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,600
Special forces reportedly advanced over 15 kilometers in

609
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,480
the darkness and were in the tunnels for

610
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,080
several days before the ambush.

611
00:21:04,660 --> 00:21:07,520
Just six months ago, the giant pipeline was

612
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,440
carrying Siberian gas to Europe.

613
00:21:09,820 --> 00:21:11,740
So this is kind of cool, where they

614
00:21:11,740 --> 00:21:15,260
went into the pipeline, they got shut off,

615
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,100
and they had their masks on and oxygen,

616
00:21:17,620 --> 00:21:21,340
and they shimmied through this pipeline for 15

617
00:21:21,340 --> 00:21:24,280
kilometers and are about to pop up behind

618
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,880
enemy lines, and we have breaking news, breaking,

619
00:21:27,140 --> 00:21:27,400
breaking!

620
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:29,760
Boots on the ground.

621
00:21:30,260 --> 00:21:31,940
Boots on the ground, I tell you.

622
00:21:32,660 --> 00:21:34,940
Which is actually Sergine sitting in his underwear

623
00:21:34,940 --> 00:21:37,060
at home, watching Putin on television.

624
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,800
Putin says, uh, yeah, I don't see why

625
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,200
a 30-day truce would be very beneficial.

626
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,560
It makes no sense, he says, to a

627
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,940
point where multiple large cauldrons of Ukrainian troops

628
00:21:50,940 --> 00:21:53,560
are cut off because they're behind enemy lines,

629
00:21:53,620 --> 00:21:56,080
thanks to the pipeline op, and on the

630
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,220
verge of being captured.

631
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,400
He said numerous times, according to Sergine, our

632
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,980
Russian boots on the ground, that he is

633
00:22:02,980 --> 00:22:05,280
in principle in favor of having a ceasefire,

634
00:22:05,420 --> 00:22:07,500
but due to the experience of the last

635
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:10,800
ceasefire negotiated, which resulted in nothing more but

636
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,400
a rearming of Ukraine by Germany and other

637
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,320
European countries, it is likely the exact same

638
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,620
thing would happen this time.

639
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,140
He did hint he's open to a ceasefire

640
00:22:20,140 --> 00:22:22,780
if those troops that he has now cut

641
00:22:22,780 --> 00:22:26,980
off from retreating would surrender rather than rearm.

642
00:22:27,740 --> 00:22:29,000
That's breaking news.

643
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,640
Well, that's something that is exclusive to the

644
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,640
No Agenda show.

645
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:35,260
That's right.

646
00:22:35,380 --> 00:22:36,160
That report.

647
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:36,920
That's right.

648
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:38,560
Wow.

649
00:22:38,780 --> 00:22:41,580
Yeah, so that will be what it comes

650
00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:41,680
down to.

651
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,700
So the ball's now in your court, Zelensky.

652
00:22:44,860 --> 00:22:45,540
Half court.

653
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:45,940
Half court.

654
00:22:45,940 --> 00:22:46,680
In the half court.

655
00:22:46,780 --> 00:22:47,400
Half court.

656
00:22:48,220 --> 00:22:49,780
Meanwhile, Queen Ursula...

657
00:22:49,780 --> 00:22:50,840
That was a good ploy.

658
00:22:51,460 --> 00:22:52,540
Oh, it's a great ploy.

659
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,960
It makes so much sense, and yes...

660
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,300
Yeah, he surrounds him and captures all these

661
00:22:57,300 --> 00:23:00,000
cases, and now he's going to bargain with

662
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:00,200
who?

663
00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:02,220
He's five by five in the pipe right

664
00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:03,200
behind the Ukrainians.

665
00:23:03,260 --> 00:23:04,680
Hey, boys, where are you going?

666
00:23:05,420 --> 00:23:06,360
So don't fight us.

667
00:23:06,740 --> 00:23:07,180
Surrender.

668
00:23:07,660 --> 00:23:08,060
You're staying here.

669
00:23:08,260 --> 00:23:08,640
Surrender.

670
00:23:09,060 --> 00:23:09,820
Well, it's possible.

671
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,360
Let's just play this NPR report from yesterday

672
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:13,600
and see what they had to say.

673
00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:14,540
Okay.

674
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,300
President Trump says there are things the U

675
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:19,600
.S. can do that would be very bad

676
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,480
for Russia.

677
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,540
NPR's Franco Ordonez reports on steps the administration

678
00:23:23,540 --> 00:23:25,820
is taking to pressure Russia to reach a

679
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,460
peace deal on the war in Ukraine.

680
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,620
Trump says U.S. officials are going to

681
00:23:29,620 --> 00:23:32,200
Russia to urge Moscow to sign on to

682
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,660
a 30-day ceasefire plan that the United

683
00:23:34,660 --> 00:23:36,360
States worked out with Ukraine.

684
00:23:36,860 --> 00:23:39,140
The plan between Ukraine and Russia could be

685
00:23:39,140 --> 00:23:40,940
extended if both sides consent.

686
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:43,380
During an Oval Office meeting with the Irish

687
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:45,740
prime minister, Trump says it's up to Russia

688
00:23:45,740 --> 00:23:46,180
now.

689
00:23:46,780 --> 00:23:48,560
He says he hopes they agree, warning it

690
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,300
could be bad if they don't.

691
00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:52,520
I can do things financially that would be

692
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:53,360
very bad for Russia.

693
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,480
I don't want to do that because I

694
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,180
want to get peace.

695
00:23:55,180 --> 00:23:56,680
I want to see peace.

696
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:57,560
And we'll see.

697
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,040
Trump emphasized that he hopes such pressure on

698
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,740
Moscow won't be necessary and that he's feeling

699
00:24:02,740 --> 00:24:04,940
they may be, quote, getting close to getting

700
00:24:04,940 --> 00:24:05,800
something done.

701
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,320
Now, you make a good point.

702
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,020
It's like, why does this podcast, the No

703
00:24:10,020 --> 00:24:13,020
Agenda show, why do we have, why can

704
00:24:13,020 --> 00:24:14,720
we put this together so quickly?

705
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,980
And I'm looking at the quad box now.

706
00:24:17,140 --> 00:24:20,160
None of the news networks have figured this

707
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:20,500
out.

708
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,180
Putin was live on television.

709
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:23,960
They don't have Russian speakers?

710
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,420
I guess not.

711
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,600
Or maybe it's not.

712
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,920
They maybe they want war because Ursula sure

713
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,900
seems to want it.

714
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:30,680
Here's the queen.

715
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:31,800
Oh, good point.

716
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,720
Here's the queen.

717
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,220
Honorable members, the European security order is being

718
00:24:37,220 --> 00:24:41,360
shaken and so many of our illusions are

719
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:41,900
being shattered.

720
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:42,740
Oh, no.

721
00:24:43,780 --> 00:24:45,220
After the end of the Cold War.

722
00:24:45,540 --> 00:24:46,480
Hold on.

723
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,380
Well, she's going to explain her illusions.

724
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,380
Is she going to explain the illusions that

725
00:24:50,380 --> 00:24:51,140
are being shattered?

726
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:51,700
Yes.

727
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:52,540
Yes, she is.

728
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:53,440
Oops.

729
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,440
Honorable members, the European security order is being

730
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,560
shaken and so many of our illusions are

731
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,140
being shattered.

732
00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:05,960
After the end of the Cold War, some

733
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,020
believed that Russia could be integrated in Europe's

734
00:25:10,020 --> 00:25:12,020
economic and security architecture.

735
00:25:12,340 --> 00:25:15,620
It was perfectly all of the energy into

736
00:25:15,620 --> 00:25:16,140
Germany.

737
00:25:16,300 --> 00:25:18,220
Germany sent them Mercedes Benz.

738
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,160
The euro was circulating.

739
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:20,920
It was beautiful.

740
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:21,960
There was no problem.

741
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,580
Others hoped that we could rely indefinitely on

742
00:25:25,580 --> 00:25:27,220
America's full protection.

743
00:25:27,820 --> 00:25:28,160
Yeah.

744
00:25:29,380 --> 00:25:32,880
And so we lowered our guard.

745
00:25:33,580 --> 00:25:37,540
We cut our defense spending from routinely averaging

746
00:25:37,540 --> 00:25:41,020
more than 3.5 percent to less than

747
00:25:41,020 --> 00:25:42,040
half of that.

748
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:45,340
She's literally making President Trump's point.

749
00:25:45,820 --> 00:25:47,680
You guys weren't paying your fair share.

750
00:25:47,740 --> 00:25:49,700
But she says, oh, no, we just believed

751
00:25:49,700 --> 00:25:50,180
in peace.

752
00:25:50,180 --> 00:25:51,920
The Americans will take care of it for

753
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:52,220
us.

754
00:25:52,740 --> 00:25:55,360
We thought we were enjoying a peace dividend,

755
00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:59,020
but in reality, we were just running a

756
00:25:59,020 --> 00:26:00,380
security deficit.

757
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,740
The time of illusions is over now.

758
00:26:03,460 --> 00:26:05,860
Europe is called to take greater charge of

759
00:26:05,860 --> 00:26:08,980
its own defense, not in some distant future,

760
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,780
but already today, not with incremental steps, but

761
00:26:13,780 --> 00:26:16,900
with the courage that the situation requires.

762
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,640
We need a surge in European defense.

763
00:26:20,340 --> 00:26:21,460
And we need it now.

764
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,780
We need a surge.

765
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,000
And we need it now.

766
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,020
And this was all in the European Parliament.

767
00:26:27,180 --> 00:26:29,080
Everyone's standing up, talking some nonsense.

768
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,880
This is Manfred Weber.

769
00:26:31,220 --> 00:26:32,900
He's a member of European Parliament.

770
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,420
And he sees this very dire right now.

771
00:26:35,580 --> 00:26:37,740
We at CPP, we know what we owe

772
00:26:37,740 --> 00:26:38,320
the Americans.

773
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,280
Supreme Commander Eisenhower and American soldiers brought freedom

774
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,240
and democracy back to Europe.

775
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,940
Reagan's call to the Soviet Union teared down

776
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:51,320
this wall in 1987, brought freedom and democracy

777
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,440
also to Central and Eastern Europe.

778
00:26:54,260 --> 00:26:56,600
On the other hand, what happened in the

779
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,000
White House two weeks ago was simply a

780
00:26:59,000 --> 00:26:59,280
scandal.

781
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,940
To say Ukraine is responsible for the war

782
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:04,820
is simply a lie.

783
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:07,660
And even with our long history with our

784
00:27:07,660 --> 00:27:10,020
U.S. friends in mind, we must call

785
00:27:10,020 --> 00:27:11,600
a lie a lie.

786
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:14,280
No one can twist the truth.

787
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:20,840
Putin doesn't want to end the war.

788
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,540
He wants to end Ukraine.

789
00:27:22,740 --> 00:27:26,000
And as Europeans, we will never allow this.

790
00:27:26,780 --> 00:27:28,840
After the speech of Vice President Vance in

791
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,240
Munich and what happened with Zelensky in the

792
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,300
Oval Office, one reality is clear, dear friends.

793
00:27:33,380 --> 00:27:34,820
We are alone.

794
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,680
The world is in turmoil.

795
00:27:38,540 --> 00:27:39,580
Europe has to wake up.

796
00:27:39,580 --> 00:27:42,040
We have to become responsible for ourselves.

797
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,180
Our security is not in the hands of

798
00:27:44,180 --> 00:27:45,640
Washington or Moscow.

799
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,640
It must be in our hands.

800
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,860
So the question is, and it was kind

801
00:27:49,860 --> 00:27:52,900
of interesting, this guy's crazy, all those speeches

802
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:53,500
were like that.

803
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,460
So I'm watching before the show, and Mark

804
00:27:56,460 --> 00:27:59,780
Rutte, the NATO Secretary General, is sitting next

805
00:27:59,780 --> 00:28:00,620
to President Trump.

806
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:01,520
How are you, Donald?

807
00:28:01,660 --> 00:28:02,580
It's good to see you.

808
00:28:04,260 --> 00:28:07,160
So maybe there's a double gambit going on

809
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:07,340
here.

810
00:28:07,340 --> 00:28:10,760
You have this thesis that Rutte is actually

811
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,240
a stooge of Trump's.

812
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:14,280
Well, of course, I had no time to

813
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:14,680
clip it.

814
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:17,000
But President Trump was saying, I'm so happy

815
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,040
you got the job.

816
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:19,140
There was some other guy.

817
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:20,480
And we didn't want him.

818
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:21,320
We didn't like him.

819
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,260
We didn't like him.

820
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,340
You're working on a Trump now, huh?

821
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:23,840
Yeah, I'm trying.

822
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,100
I didn't even know who the other guy

823
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:25,420
was.

824
00:28:25,660 --> 00:28:27,200
And then he says, you were a great

825
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,520
prime minister in the Netherlands, where collectively half

826
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,120
of the country of the Netherlands went, no,

827
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:34,900
but okay.

828
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,180
He's our sales guy.

829
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,280
We've identified that.

830
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,860
Is it possible that now that, and by

831
00:28:40,860 --> 00:28:44,220
the way, this whole thing, this whole 800

832
00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:49,820
billion euros, this is all because Ursula triggered

833
00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:51,460
Article 122.

834
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,140
You won't get that from your mainstream news.

835
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,800
This is Article 22 of the Treaty on

836
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,520
the Functioning of the European Union allows bypassing

837
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,440
the European Parliament and what are the chances

838
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,720
that they had a little poison pill in

839
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:11,980
there?

840
00:29:12,420 --> 00:29:14,660
It's in effect what President Trump does with

841
00:29:14,660 --> 00:29:16,500
a state of emergency.

842
00:29:16,780 --> 00:29:18,700
It's the same kind of thing, but at

843
00:29:18,700 --> 00:29:19,620
least he was elected.

844
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,580
Ursula, it was like six people elected her.

845
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,360
And so they invoke this with the COVID

846
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,020
-19 vaccine purchase, which we still haven't seen

847
00:29:31,020 --> 00:29:33,860
all the text messages, Ursula, between you and

848
00:29:33,860 --> 00:29:35,200
Pfizer CEO Burla.

849
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,100
So she can pretty much do whatever she

850
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:38,540
wants.

851
00:29:38,700 --> 00:29:40,700
So now that they've freed up the money

852
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,640
and they've freed up 150 billion right away

853
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,880
to purchase stuff for Ukraine, could it be

854
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,780
that this is now going to be parlayed

855
00:29:51,780 --> 00:29:56,320
into an even stronger NATO with Margarita at

856
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,340
the helm steering?

857
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,300
Because he's been in all these EU meetings.

858
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,300
He's always there.

859
00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:05,260
So I wonder if they're really not all

860
00:30:05,260 --> 00:30:07,500
that serious about the European army, but they're

861
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:08,320
like, hey, you know what?

862
00:30:08,620 --> 00:30:10,340
Since we already got the money now, we

863
00:30:10,340 --> 00:30:10,860
freed it up.

864
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,060
You can all go into debt.

865
00:30:12,380 --> 00:30:13,840
You can bring it back up to where

866
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,040
it has to be for NATO.

867
00:30:15,540 --> 00:30:18,080
And Trump, I mean, we can trust him

868
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:18,320
now.

869
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:22,260
He looks stable to us now.

870
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,800
Maybe this is just a whole ploy to

871
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:25,540
rearm NATO.

872
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,260
What do you think?

873
00:30:29,250 --> 00:30:31,610
Well, I wouldn't put it past the military

874
00:30:31,610 --> 00:30:33,810
industrial complex to come up with a scheme

875
00:30:33,810 --> 00:30:34,770
to get more money.

876
00:30:35,490 --> 00:30:37,910
Well, yeah, but they still have to resolve

877
00:30:37,910 --> 00:30:39,230
this Ukraine situation.

878
00:30:39,410 --> 00:30:40,410
They're not going to do it the way

879
00:30:40,410 --> 00:30:41,310
they're going about it.

880
00:30:42,710 --> 00:30:45,470
Well, the Ukrainian soldiers are going to have

881
00:30:45,470 --> 00:30:46,050
to surrender.

882
00:30:47,070 --> 00:30:48,970
And if they don't, well, then we'll keep

883
00:30:48,970 --> 00:30:50,170
going, I guess.

884
00:30:51,430 --> 00:30:53,070
Trump, the president was great.

885
00:30:53,690 --> 00:30:55,730
He was talking about pictures that he sees

886
00:30:55,730 --> 00:30:58,890
every day, or every week I get the

887
00:30:58,890 --> 00:30:59,790
pictures from Ukraine.

888
00:31:00,010 --> 00:31:02,210
I see young kids with their heads blown

889
00:31:02,210 --> 00:31:02,650
off.

890
00:31:02,790 --> 00:31:04,290
It was pretty graphic.

891
00:31:04,310 --> 00:31:05,930
They're going to have to do the deal.

892
00:31:06,350 --> 00:31:07,930
They're going to have to give up the

893
00:31:07,930 --> 00:31:08,790
Donbass.

894
00:31:09,110 --> 00:31:09,310
Yeah.

895
00:31:09,710 --> 00:31:11,690
And stop the Crimea crap.

896
00:31:11,830 --> 00:31:12,890
Let that slide.

897
00:31:13,370 --> 00:31:13,850
Kursk region.

898
00:31:15,130 --> 00:31:18,390
And the Kursk, well, that's, I mean, you

899
00:31:18,390 --> 00:31:20,130
freeze everything in time.

900
00:31:20,230 --> 00:31:21,790
And so that's why the Russians had to

901
00:31:21,790 --> 00:31:23,650
get Kursk back, because they didn't want to

902
00:31:23,650 --> 00:31:27,590
freeze everything in time with the Ukrainians owning

903
00:31:27,590 --> 00:31:28,250
that area.

904
00:31:28,350 --> 00:31:29,730
So they pushed them out.

905
00:31:30,070 --> 00:31:31,170
So that's done.

906
00:31:31,170 --> 00:31:33,510
So they got Kursk back and they want

907
00:31:33,510 --> 00:31:36,690
their Donbass, because it's part of Russia, really.

908
00:31:38,110 --> 00:31:40,330
And then they want no NATO.

909
00:31:40,930 --> 00:31:43,610
And then now the additional things they have

910
00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:45,710
to negotiate, because it's on the list of

911
00:31:45,710 --> 00:31:52,330
demands by Putin, which is no troops in

912
00:31:52,330 --> 00:31:54,830
Ukraine, no European troops in Ukraine, which I

913
00:31:54,830 --> 00:31:55,950
don't think he's going to get that.

914
00:31:56,310 --> 00:31:57,390
No, but he will get.

915
00:31:57,850 --> 00:32:00,910
Why wouldn't they sacrifice these Ukrainian troops?

916
00:32:00,910 --> 00:32:02,510
Just let him arrest him and he'll send

917
00:32:02,510 --> 00:32:04,570
them back when the peace treaty is due.

918
00:32:04,570 --> 00:32:07,270
Well, those guys are, that's a pawn that

919
00:32:07,270 --> 00:32:08,510
doesn't make a lot of difference.

920
00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:11,570
But the other, the big elements are get

921
00:32:11,570 --> 00:32:14,270
no NATO, A, and they can do, Trump

922
00:32:14,270 --> 00:32:16,110
doesn't want NATO, and neither does Heckseth or

923
00:32:16,110 --> 00:32:16,770
anybody else.

924
00:32:16,790 --> 00:32:17,410
So that's out.

925
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:21,070
And then, but they say, then the last

926
00:32:21,070 --> 00:32:24,970
Russian demand is all of the sanctions are

927
00:32:24,970 --> 00:32:25,350
off.

928
00:32:26,050 --> 00:32:26,490
Yeah.

929
00:32:27,950 --> 00:32:28,770
Yeah, I mean, like.

930
00:32:28,910 --> 00:32:30,410
Which is not a big deal.

931
00:32:30,410 --> 00:32:32,110
Because the war stops completely.

932
00:32:32,290 --> 00:32:33,510
What's the reason for the sanctions?

933
00:32:33,750 --> 00:32:35,290
Like Swift, that kind of stuff.

934
00:32:36,070 --> 00:32:36,510
Everything.

935
00:32:36,810 --> 00:32:36,950
Yeah.

936
00:32:37,510 --> 00:32:37,790
Well.

937
00:32:39,650 --> 00:32:40,650
President Trump certainly.

938
00:32:40,790 --> 00:32:41,870
But then it looks like capitulation.

939
00:32:42,090 --> 00:32:43,190
So they have to, so there has to

940
00:32:43,190 --> 00:32:45,670
be some give that, I think the only

941
00:32:45,670 --> 00:32:49,750
give that, otherwise it looks like total capitulation

942
00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:51,370
to Putin, and they don't want that because

943
00:32:51,370 --> 00:32:53,770
it doesn't look good, even though it's probably

944
00:32:53,770 --> 00:32:57,450
what she should do, is the, they'll let

945
00:32:57,450 --> 00:33:02,110
some peacekeeping troops in Ukraine.

946
00:33:02,330 --> 00:33:03,010
Blue helmets.

947
00:33:03,110 --> 00:33:04,310
Get the blue helmets in.

948
00:33:06,650 --> 00:33:07,890
Make a different color, maybe.

949
00:33:09,110 --> 00:33:11,070
I think this should be like a black

950
00:33:11,070 --> 00:33:12,790
jackboot helmet.

951
00:33:13,850 --> 00:33:14,810
Black helmets.

952
00:33:15,870 --> 00:33:16,350
Okay.

953
00:33:16,890 --> 00:33:17,310
All right.

954
00:33:17,450 --> 00:33:18,330
Dream on, buddy.

955
00:33:19,470 --> 00:33:20,690
That's what it should be.

956
00:33:20,790 --> 00:33:21,790
I don't think so.

957
00:33:22,530 --> 00:33:24,830
There's one other element on that list of

958
00:33:24,830 --> 00:33:28,470
demands, which is the complete denazification of Ukraine,

959
00:33:28,630 --> 00:33:31,050
but that, I think they can negotiate that

960
00:33:31,050 --> 00:33:31,370
away.

961
00:33:32,250 --> 00:33:32,810
That's not happening.

962
00:33:33,150 --> 00:33:35,050
And they have to have new elections, and

963
00:33:35,050 --> 00:33:36,070
Zelensky has to go.

964
00:33:36,110 --> 00:33:38,010
You know, from what I understand, they're talking

965
00:33:38,010 --> 00:33:38,890
to Poroshenko.

966
00:33:39,210 --> 00:33:41,390
They, which I guess would mean us.

967
00:33:42,090 --> 00:33:44,610
We're talking to Poroshenko about him coming back

968
00:33:44,610 --> 00:33:44,850
in.

969
00:33:46,250 --> 00:33:48,110
I think they should put Klitsch in.

970
00:33:48,890 --> 00:33:50,070
No, Klitsch is out.

971
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:51,850
Klitsch is better working from the outside.

972
00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:53,230
No, no, we don't want— I'm just doing

973
00:33:53,230 --> 00:33:54,250
Victoria Nuland now.

974
00:33:54,710 --> 00:33:56,350
No, Klitsch is better not to be in.

975
00:33:56,530 --> 00:33:57,990
What, can we get Biden in?

976
00:33:58,050 --> 00:33:59,790
Can we get Biden in to midwife this

977
00:33:59,790 --> 00:34:00,030
deal?

978
00:34:01,210 --> 00:34:02,490
People should go back and listen to that

979
00:34:02,490 --> 00:34:03,230
whole phone call.

980
00:34:05,050 --> 00:34:07,610
So we stay in Europe if we're done

981
00:34:07,610 --> 00:34:08,810
with this, because I don't think we have

982
00:34:08,810 --> 00:34:09,350
much more.

983
00:34:09,429 --> 00:34:11,949
We have the most latest breaking news of

984
00:34:11,949 --> 00:34:12,449
everywhere.

985
00:34:13,210 --> 00:34:15,190
And if you don't mind, another breaking news!

986
00:34:15,290 --> 00:34:16,150
Breaking news!

987
00:34:16,150 --> 00:34:20,230
A major escalation in President Trump's trade war.

988
00:34:20,449 --> 00:34:23,389
The president now firing back at the retaliation

989
00:34:23,389 --> 00:34:24,810
Europe took yesterday.

990
00:34:25,489 --> 00:34:27,030
Here is what he just posted.

991
00:34:27,330 --> 00:34:29,870
The European Union has just put a nasty

992
00:34:29,870 --> 00:34:31,929
50% tariff on whiskey.

993
00:34:32,389 --> 00:34:34,469
If this tariff is not removed immediately, the

994
00:34:34,469 --> 00:34:37,429
U.S. will shortly place a 200%

995
00:34:37,429 --> 00:34:41,790
tariff on all wines, champagnes, and alcoholic products

996
00:34:41,790 --> 00:34:44,750
coming out of France and other EU-represented

997
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:45,469
countries.

998
00:34:45,469 --> 00:34:46,070
Oh, no!

999
00:34:46,570 --> 00:34:47,429
Stock up, John!

1000
00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:49,830
Believe me, I am stocked up.

1001
00:34:50,270 --> 00:34:52,530
But this is a fear that all the

1002
00:34:52,530 --> 00:34:54,730
wine importers have had for the last few

1003
00:34:54,730 --> 00:34:55,090
years.

1004
00:34:56,170 --> 00:34:58,090
And one of the things, like, for example,

1005
00:34:58,150 --> 00:34:59,980
if you buy Futures, which I do...

1006
00:35:00,690 --> 00:35:01,830
You buy Futures?

1007
00:35:02,670 --> 00:35:03,030
Oh, yeah.

1008
00:35:03,550 --> 00:35:04,390
Wine Futures?

1009
00:35:04,970 --> 00:35:06,370
Yeah, that's what you do.

1010
00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:07,810
Otherwise, it costs you too much money.

1011
00:35:07,910 --> 00:35:08,710
So how do you do that?

1012
00:35:08,930 --> 00:35:10,270
What's the market you buy those?

1013
00:35:10,270 --> 00:35:11,910
You have to find somebody that sells Futures.

1014
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:13,170
They pick them up.

1015
00:35:13,270 --> 00:35:14,790
Is that like on Yahoo Finance?

1016
00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:16,410
No.

1017
00:35:17,370 --> 00:35:19,450
Different importers, they sell them.

1018
00:35:19,510 --> 00:35:19,770
Okay.

1019
00:35:20,170 --> 00:35:20,770
It's not that hard.

1020
00:35:20,850 --> 00:35:22,090
If you believe me, it's not that hard.

1021
00:35:22,150 --> 00:35:24,550
So you are, in fact, speculating with your

1022
00:35:24,550 --> 00:35:25,290
wine collection.

1023
00:35:26,470 --> 00:35:27,230
Yeah, I do that.

1024
00:35:27,330 --> 00:35:27,730
Nice.

1025
00:35:28,450 --> 00:35:32,670
And so, about a year or two ago,

1026
00:35:33,310 --> 00:35:34,990
at K&L, which is one of the

1027
00:35:34,990 --> 00:35:35,710
places that sells...

1028
00:35:35,710 --> 00:35:36,730
Yeah, I remember K&L.

1029
00:35:36,910 --> 00:35:37,470
I remember them.

1030
00:35:37,930 --> 00:35:40,130
K&L has a little checkbox you have

1031
00:35:40,130 --> 00:35:43,570
to check if you buy Futures, which says

1032
00:35:43,570 --> 00:35:46,410
if there's an out-of-the-blue tariff

1033
00:35:46,410 --> 00:35:49,190
that's dropped on the wine after this...

1034
00:35:49,190 --> 00:35:51,710
The Futures are sold at a price, let's

1035
00:35:51,710 --> 00:35:53,890
say, whatever, 35 bucks a bottle, let's say,

1036
00:35:53,930 --> 00:35:55,230
for some expensive wine.

1037
00:35:55,610 --> 00:35:57,010
Normally, it sells for more.

1038
00:35:58,270 --> 00:36:01,450
And they drop a 200% tariff on

1039
00:36:01,450 --> 00:36:03,610
making the wine 90 bucks.

1040
00:36:04,950 --> 00:36:07,310
You've checked the box, and when it comes

1041
00:36:07,310 --> 00:36:07,550
in...

1042
00:36:07,550 --> 00:36:09,530
What kind of future is that?

1043
00:36:09,590 --> 00:36:10,990
That's not a good future contract.

1044
00:36:10,990 --> 00:36:13,570
Well, not if you're going to get dinged

1045
00:36:13,570 --> 00:36:14,610
200%.

1046
00:36:14,610 --> 00:36:15,510
That's not good.

1047
00:36:16,170 --> 00:36:16,890
No, I know.

1048
00:36:17,010 --> 00:36:18,490
And it's like, you just say, oh, no,

1049
00:36:18,590 --> 00:36:22,910
because there's some really interesting wines that are

1050
00:36:22,910 --> 00:36:24,290
showing up on the market.

1051
00:36:24,950 --> 00:36:27,570
The 2022 Bordeauxs, for example, are just...

1052
00:36:27,570 --> 00:36:28,290
Oh, it's dynamite.

1053
00:36:28,390 --> 00:36:28,870
It's dynamite.

1054
00:36:28,870 --> 00:36:30,570
They're a little bit overpriced, but these things

1055
00:36:30,570 --> 00:36:30,990
are unbelievable.

1056
00:36:31,070 --> 00:36:33,290
But the 22 Bordeaux, it's just the best.

1057
00:36:33,430 --> 00:36:35,270
It's the best Bordeaux I've ever had.

1058
00:36:35,870 --> 00:36:37,610
It's even better than the Beaujolais Nouveau.

1059
00:36:40,370 --> 00:36:42,470
So I think what really...

1060
00:36:42,470 --> 00:36:42,570
Sports ball.

1061
00:36:42,670 --> 00:36:43,190
Yes.

1062
00:36:44,710 --> 00:36:45,930
You're half of the court.

1063
00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:48,510
I think that what really...

1064
00:36:48,510 --> 00:36:51,830
And Bloomberg Daybreak had a pretty good piece

1065
00:36:51,830 --> 00:36:52,250
on this.

1066
00:36:52,350 --> 00:36:55,690
I think it was the targeting that the

1067
00:36:55,690 --> 00:36:59,450
European Union did in response to whatever we

1068
00:36:59,450 --> 00:37:01,910
did in this fog of trade war.

1069
00:37:01,970 --> 00:37:04,250
I think that's what really irked the president.

1070
00:37:04,490 --> 00:37:06,970
What does retaliation look like from the EU?

1071
00:37:06,970 --> 00:37:09,130
Well, as you're saying, the EU has come

1072
00:37:09,130 --> 00:37:11,170
out pretty quickly on the back of this,

1073
00:37:11,230 --> 00:37:13,610
and they're announcing plans to impose their own

1074
00:37:13,610 --> 00:37:15,970
duties all up at about 26 billion euros,

1075
00:37:16,110 --> 00:37:19,050
28 billion US dollars worth of American goods.

1076
00:37:19,150 --> 00:37:22,650
This will come in a phased approach that

1077
00:37:22,650 --> 00:37:24,450
does still allow room for negotiation.

1078
00:37:24,830 --> 00:37:26,950
So there were existing tariffs that had been

1079
00:37:26,950 --> 00:37:28,750
suspended on the US.

1080
00:37:28,870 --> 00:37:30,850
Those are due to snap back, as they

1081
00:37:30,850 --> 00:37:31,950
say, at the end of March.

1082
00:37:31,950 --> 00:37:33,490
And it sounds like they'll just let them

1083
00:37:33,490 --> 00:37:34,510
return.

1084
00:37:34,930 --> 00:37:37,270
And it's interesting to see that they're very

1085
00:37:37,270 --> 00:37:41,330
much targeting certain products that are produced in

1086
00:37:41,330 --> 00:37:44,330
certain states, politically sensitive states, should we say,

1087
00:37:44,390 --> 00:37:46,370
in Republican-led areas.

1088
00:37:46,370 --> 00:37:49,830
So that includes soybeans from Louisiana, for example,

1089
00:37:50,190 --> 00:37:55,490
bourbon, aluminium and steel, obviously, but also products

1090
00:37:55,490 --> 00:37:57,330
like boats and motorbikes.

1091
00:37:57,470 --> 00:37:59,210
And some of these are produced very much

1092
00:37:59,210 --> 00:38:02,530
in Republican-led states like Nebraska and Kansas.

1093
00:38:02,530 --> 00:38:06,070
So it seems to be very deliberate, very

1094
00:38:06,070 --> 00:38:06,570
targeted.

1095
00:38:06,970 --> 00:38:09,890
We know that they're looking at additional tariffs

1096
00:38:09,890 --> 00:38:10,770
by mid-April.

1097
00:38:10,830 --> 00:38:13,430
That's after the reciprocal tariffs from Donald Trump

1098
00:38:13,430 --> 00:38:16,070
are set to potentially come into force.

1099
00:38:16,230 --> 00:38:18,150
So we are seeing the EU come out

1100
00:38:18,150 --> 00:38:19,310
swinging today.

1101
00:38:19,470 --> 00:38:21,730
I mean, they call it a calibrated response,

1102
00:38:21,870 --> 00:38:22,910
but a proportional one.

1103
00:38:23,250 --> 00:38:25,310
But certainly it's interesting to see that the

1104
00:38:25,310 --> 00:38:28,430
EU has decided to announce retaliation when other

1105
00:38:28,430 --> 00:38:30,950
countries today are seemingly holding fire.

1106
00:38:32,590 --> 00:38:34,570
So that does seem like it was a

1107
00:38:34,570 --> 00:38:34,870
target.

1108
00:38:35,030 --> 00:38:36,290
Although you could, if it's, you know, the

1109
00:38:36,290 --> 00:38:39,450
motorbikes, you can have Harley Davidson because they've

1110
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:40,130
gone all woke.

1111
00:38:40,310 --> 00:38:42,310
So we're not too concerned about that.

1112
00:38:43,310 --> 00:38:44,850
But it does seem like that was some

1113
00:38:44,850 --> 00:38:45,490
direct targeting.

1114
00:38:45,670 --> 00:38:48,330
And can we get an opinion on the

1115
00:38:48,330 --> 00:38:49,810
pronunciation of aluminum?

1116
00:38:50,610 --> 00:38:52,230
I need an opinion on this.

1117
00:38:52,310 --> 00:38:53,130
Is it aluminium?

1118
00:38:53,930 --> 00:38:55,370
Is it aluminum?

1119
00:38:57,530 --> 00:38:59,150
Or is it aluminum?

1120
00:38:59,950 --> 00:39:02,810
It's aluminum, but the British love calling it

1121
00:39:02,810 --> 00:39:03,330
aluminium.

1122
00:39:03,890 --> 00:39:04,050
Why?

1123
00:39:05,010 --> 00:39:07,410
Is that spelled differently?

1124
00:39:07,990 --> 00:39:08,550
Aluminium.

1125
00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:10,030
They call trucks lorries.

1126
00:39:11,050 --> 00:39:12,970
Lorries is kind of a fat trick, it

1127
00:39:12,970 --> 00:39:13,510
seems to me.

1128
00:39:13,650 --> 00:39:14,570
I don't know why they call it that.

1129
00:39:16,190 --> 00:39:18,510
So I've been looking at what the president

1130
00:39:18,510 --> 00:39:19,030
is doing.

1131
00:39:19,190 --> 00:39:24,150
And of course, you know, these tariffs, man,

1132
00:39:24,310 --> 00:39:25,730
it's been shaking the market.

1133
00:39:26,010 --> 00:39:28,950
But specifically, it happened on Sunday.

1134
00:39:29,150 --> 00:39:31,970
When he went on the Money Honeys podcast

1135
00:39:31,970 --> 00:39:35,970
there on Fox News, Fox Business News, because

1136
00:39:35,970 --> 00:39:37,810
I think that's a podcast level audience.

1137
00:39:38,310 --> 00:39:40,490
And he said, well, you know, I'm not

1138
00:39:40,490 --> 00:39:41,890
ruling it out.

1139
00:39:42,090 --> 00:39:44,110
Donald Trump might have been vague over the

1140
00:39:44,110 --> 00:39:46,370
weekend, refusing to rule out a recession.

1141
00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:49,190
But the U.S. president finally gave reporters

1142
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:51,190
a little more clarity on Tuesday.

1143
00:39:51,950 --> 00:39:53,570
Do you think there will be a recession?

1144
00:39:53,890 --> 00:39:54,930
I don't see it at all.

1145
00:39:55,310 --> 00:39:56,930
I think this country is going to boom.

1146
00:39:56,930 --> 00:39:58,790
But as I said, I can do it

1147
00:39:58,790 --> 00:40:00,090
the easy way or the hard way.

1148
00:40:00,310 --> 00:40:01,730
So this is after the Money Honey.

1149
00:40:01,890 --> 00:40:03,130
Then he says, oh, I don't see a

1150
00:40:03,130 --> 00:40:03,810
recession at all.

1151
00:40:03,870 --> 00:40:06,370
After the markets went careening down.

1152
00:40:06,530 --> 00:40:08,290
The hard way to do it is exactly

1153
00:40:08,290 --> 00:40:08,870
what I'm doing.

1154
00:40:08,950 --> 00:40:10,370
But the results are going to be 20

1155
00:40:10,370 --> 00:40:11,070
times greater.

1156
00:40:11,230 --> 00:40:13,170
I'm very optimistic about the country.

1157
00:40:13,250 --> 00:40:14,330
I think we're going to have the greatest

1158
00:40:14,330 --> 00:40:16,210
markets we've ever had.

1159
00:40:16,670 --> 00:40:19,410
That hard way apparently refers to Trump's repeated

1160
00:40:19,410 --> 00:40:21,670
use of tariffs as a weapon to pressure

1161
00:40:21,670 --> 00:40:22,990
U.S. trading partners.

1162
00:40:23,550 --> 00:40:26,950
Despite the gains he's promising, markets reacted nervously.

1163
00:40:27,510 --> 00:40:29,930
A far cry from the confident scene following

1164
00:40:29,930 --> 00:40:32,270
his election off the back of such promises

1165
00:40:32,270 --> 00:40:34,250
as deregulation and tax cuts.

1166
00:40:34,890 --> 00:40:37,290
Markets swung high and low all day as

1167
00:40:37,290 --> 00:40:40,330
confusion reigned over yet further levies on Canadian

1168
00:40:40,330 --> 00:40:41,470
steel and aluminium.

1169
00:40:42,010 --> 00:40:42,590
Aluminium.

1170
00:40:42,750 --> 00:40:43,250
Confusion.

1171
00:40:43,430 --> 00:40:44,670
It's confusion.

1172
00:40:45,170 --> 00:40:46,490
It's just confusion in the markets.

1173
00:40:46,610 --> 00:40:48,690
He's creating confusion just by going on the

1174
00:40:48,690 --> 00:40:49,450
Money Honey podcast.

1175
00:40:49,550 --> 00:40:50,810
President Trump's new tariff threat.

1176
00:40:50,810 --> 00:40:52,630
He sparked fears over the economy as he

1177
00:40:52,630 --> 00:40:53,970
declined to rule out the possibility of a

1178
00:40:53,970 --> 00:40:54,350
recession.

1179
00:40:54,950 --> 00:40:56,090
We'll get the latest from the markets.

1180
00:40:56,410 --> 00:40:58,490
Senior political correspondent Rachel Scott starts us off

1181
00:40:58,490 --> 00:40:59,050
from the White House.

1182
00:40:59,150 --> 00:40:59,650
Good morning, Rachel.

1183
00:40:59,930 --> 00:41:01,410
George, good morning to you.

1184
00:41:01,510 --> 00:41:03,570
The president has insisted that Americans will be

1185
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:05,530
better off in the long run because of

1186
00:41:05,530 --> 00:41:07,710
these tariffs, but he's also acknowledged there will

1187
00:41:07,710 --> 00:41:09,190
be some economic pain.

1188
00:41:09,310 --> 00:41:11,030
When asked directly if it could lead to

1189
00:41:11,030 --> 00:41:13,110
a recession, he declined to rule it out.

1190
00:41:13,410 --> 00:41:15,530
This morning, after a week of shaky markets

1191
00:41:15,530 --> 00:41:18,610
and tariff whiplash, President Trump is hesitant to

1192
00:41:18,610 --> 00:41:20,250
rule out a recession in 2025.

1193
00:41:20,810 --> 00:41:22,590
I hate to predict things like that.

1194
00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:26,670
There is a period of transition because what

1195
00:41:26,670 --> 00:41:27,810
we're doing is very big.

1196
00:41:27,950 --> 00:41:29,770
We're bringing wealth back to America.

1197
00:41:30,110 --> 00:41:32,190
But just days ago, the markets tumbled when

1198
00:41:32,190 --> 00:41:34,710
Trump imposed a 25% tariff on goods

1199
00:41:34,710 --> 00:41:35,970
from Canada and Mexico.

1200
00:41:36,510 --> 00:41:38,370
The president quickly reversed in course.

1201
00:41:38,890 --> 00:41:40,930
Now, Trump says he's planning for even more.

1202
00:41:41,230 --> 00:41:43,490
A 25% tariff on all foreign steel

1203
00:41:43,490 --> 00:41:45,430
and aluminium will take effect on Wednesday.

1204
00:41:46,150 --> 00:41:48,290
And vowing to impose what he calls reciprocal

1205
00:41:48,290 --> 00:41:49,750
tariffs on countries, too.

1206
00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:52,110
April 2nd, it becomes all reciprocal.

1207
00:41:52,690 --> 00:41:54,590
What they charge us, we charge them.

1208
00:41:54,790 --> 00:41:57,530
This morning, China's 10 to 15% retaliatory

1209
00:41:57,530 --> 00:42:00,130
tariffs on U.S. goods, including chicken, wheat,

1210
00:42:00,310 --> 00:42:02,530
soybeans and beef, now taking effect.

1211
00:42:02,690 --> 00:42:05,050
Many economists warn the impact of tariffs will

1212
00:42:05,050 --> 00:42:06,910
be passed down to consumers in the form

1213
00:42:06,910 --> 00:42:07,910
of higher prices.

1214
00:42:08,430 --> 00:42:11,070
OK, so I've been thinking about this and

1215
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:12,210
I came across an article.

1216
00:42:12,490 --> 00:42:15,070
And this kind of goes back to something

1217
00:42:15,070 --> 00:42:18,270
I must have said last year, that, you

1218
00:42:18,270 --> 00:42:19,530
know, this is a real estate guy.

1219
00:42:19,530 --> 00:42:21,010
He's going to refi the country.

1220
00:42:22,310 --> 00:42:23,630
And I don't and I may be out

1221
00:42:23,630 --> 00:42:24,390
of my depth here.

1222
00:42:24,510 --> 00:42:26,990
But what I'm seeing in the markets, which,

1223
00:42:27,110 --> 00:42:28,690
as you know, are crashing every single day,

1224
00:42:28,770 --> 00:42:29,130
crashing.

1225
00:42:30,410 --> 00:42:34,170
When these asset prices go down, what also

1226
00:42:34,170 --> 00:42:37,230
happens, and I think it's about 0.6

1227
00:42:37,230 --> 00:42:40,250
% now since he started the whiplash, is

1228
00:42:40,250 --> 00:42:42,990
the bond yields go down because people and

1229
00:42:42,990 --> 00:42:44,570
I'm and again, you'll be able to correct

1230
00:42:44,570 --> 00:42:45,150
me if I'm wrong.

1231
00:42:45,150 --> 00:42:48,610
But the simplistic view for me is, OK,

1232
00:42:48,750 --> 00:42:50,090
we can't trust this stuff.

1233
00:42:50,250 --> 00:42:53,050
Mag 7, whatever, AI, I don't know.

1234
00:42:53,270 --> 00:42:55,590
I'm just going to go buy some bonds

1235
00:42:55,590 --> 00:42:57,630
now when the yields go down.

1236
00:42:57,730 --> 00:42:59,350
Of course, the price goes up.

1237
00:43:00,150 --> 00:43:02,110
But the yields are going down.

1238
00:43:02,770 --> 00:43:04,930
And this is what I didn't know until

1239
00:43:04,930 --> 00:43:07,790
I came across this article, that in 2025,

1240
00:43:08,310 --> 00:43:12,790
we have to refinance $9.2 trillion of

1241
00:43:12,790 --> 00:43:15,850
the U.S. debt, of which I think

1242
00:43:15,850 --> 00:43:17,910
$2 trillion may be due in April.

1243
00:43:18,750 --> 00:43:22,050
If he just keeps whiplashing everybody and the

1244
00:43:22,050 --> 00:43:27,130
bond prices even at 0.6%, that could

1245
00:43:27,130 --> 00:43:28,090
be a lot of money.

1246
00:43:28,930 --> 00:43:30,950
So this may just all be a refi

1247
00:43:30,950 --> 00:43:31,390
ploy.

1248
00:43:31,510 --> 00:43:32,790
And he may try to get it even

1249
00:43:32,790 --> 00:43:35,150
lower by going even crazier in the next

1250
00:43:35,150 --> 00:43:37,790
few weeks just to get those bond prices

1251
00:43:37,790 --> 00:43:42,390
down, cause the the fear, the actual fear

1252
00:43:42,390 --> 00:43:45,850
of a recession, and then maybe, maybe try

1253
00:43:45,850 --> 00:43:47,470
and get the Fed to step in and

1254
00:43:47,470 --> 00:43:48,190
trigger something.

1255
00:43:48,870 --> 00:43:52,590
We also have this didn't go very well

1256
00:43:52,590 --> 00:43:54,770
reported, the inflation number.

1257
00:43:55,190 --> 00:43:55,590
Welcome back, Spock.

1258
00:43:55,690 --> 00:43:57,390
We are just seconds away now from February

1259
00:43:57,390 --> 00:43:57,990
CPI.

1260
00:43:58,070 --> 00:44:00,070
Rick Santelli standing by the CME in Chicago.

1261
00:44:00,790 --> 00:44:01,990
Rick, the numbers.

1262
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:03,770
Yes, boy, this is a biggie.

1263
00:44:03,770 --> 00:44:06,770
This is our February REIT, Consumer Price Index,

1264
00:44:07,010 --> 00:44:09,650
expected up three tenths, comes in a tenth

1265
00:44:09,650 --> 00:44:12,010
light, up two tenths of a percent.

1266
00:44:12,410 --> 00:44:13,970
And in the rear view mirror, at least

1267
00:44:13,970 --> 00:44:15,750
now, not revised.

1268
00:44:16,330 --> 00:44:18,250
And a path one percent, by the way,

1269
00:44:18,310 --> 00:44:19,270
was a two year high.

1270
00:44:19,410 --> 00:44:22,450
We're reversing from up two tenths, equals where

1271
00:44:22,450 --> 00:44:24,350
we were in October to find a lower

1272
00:44:24,350 --> 00:44:24,650
number.

1273
00:44:24,950 --> 00:44:26,650
You're back to July of last year.

1274
00:44:26,990 --> 00:44:31,050
Year over year, headline number, 2.9 expected,

1275
00:44:31,270 --> 00:44:32,750
2.8 is what we get.

1276
00:44:32,750 --> 00:44:34,530
So, of course, no one talks about it.

1277
00:44:34,590 --> 00:44:37,270
But so inflation down just a tick.

1278
00:44:37,330 --> 00:44:38,470
Of course, it's still up.

1279
00:44:38,530 --> 00:44:39,990
It's compounded.

1280
00:44:40,770 --> 00:44:42,790
But could this whole thing, when he says,

1281
00:44:42,890 --> 00:44:44,310
well, there's a hard way to do it

1282
00:44:44,310 --> 00:44:46,570
and it's going to be great, could this

1283
00:44:46,570 --> 00:44:48,670
be a ploy to just get interest rates

1284
00:44:48,670 --> 00:44:49,030
lower?

1285
00:44:49,470 --> 00:44:49,710
John C.

1286
00:44:49,770 --> 00:44:50,250
Dvorak, go.

1287
00:44:50,750 --> 00:44:51,870
Well, that's for an amateur.

1288
00:44:52,230 --> 00:44:53,490
That's an interesting thesis.

1289
00:44:53,710 --> 00:44:55,270
I'm not going to say that you're off

1290
00:44:55,270 --> 00:44:55,770
the mark.

1291
00:44:56,630 --> 00:44:58,390
Which is, by the way, that's John C.

1292
00:44:58,470 --> 00:45:00,110
Dvorak's way of saying, hey, I think I

1293
00:45:00,110 --> 00:45:01,450
agree with you, but I don't really want

1294
00:45:01,450 --> 00:45:03,290
to give you any credence or credo or

1295
00:45:03,290 --> 00:45:03,610
credit.

1296
00:45:04,010 --> 00:45:04,850
There you go.

1297
00:45:07,390 --> 00:45:09,230
This just felt right to me.

1298
00:45:09,370 --> 00:45:11,570
Once I saw that nine point two trillion

1299
00:45:11,570 --> 00:45:14,370
dollar number, I'm like, oh, OK.

1300
00:45:15,750 --> 00:45:16,270
OK.

1301
00:45:17,310 --> 00:45:18,450
That kind of makes sense.

1302
00:45:19,770 --> 00:45:22,630
But I like the thesis that he's a

1303
00:45:22,630 --> 00:45:24,070
real estate guy.

1304
00:45:24,610 --> 00:45:26,730
And it's true if you're like if you're

1305
00:45:26,730 --> 00:45:29,550
mainly investing in real estate all your life.

1306
00:45:30,770 --> 00:45:31,990
That's what you do.

1307
00:45:32,150 --> 00:45:33,610
Everything is refi.

1308
00:45:34,070 --> 00:45:34,170
Yeah.

1309
00:45:34,770 --> 00:45:36,990
And that's why you don't own anything.

1310
00:45:38,270 --> 00:45:40,430
Everything's financed and you're just in, you know,

1311
00:45:40,510 --> 00:45:41,090
there's a debt.

1312
00:45:41,630 --> 00:45:42,490
You're in debt.

1313
00:45:42,730 --> 00:45:45,170
But it's just a funny thing with real

1314
00:45:45,170 --> 00:45:45,490
estate.

1315
00:45:45,630 --> 00:45:47,990
If you like real estate, I personally like

1316
00:45:47,990 --> 00:45:48,150
it.

1317
00:45:48,230 --> 00:45:49,190
Everything is leveraged.

1318
00:45:49,290 --> 00:45:50,110
Everything is leveraged.

1319
00:45:50,130 --> 00:45:52,470
Everything's leveraged and everything is and then you

1320
00:45:52,470 --> 00:45:54,050
take out what you need.

1321
00:45:54,210 --> 00:45:56,510
I mean, it's almost it's a great product

1322
00:45:56,510 --> 00:45:58,330
because it's real.

1323
00:45:59,010 --> 00:45:59,970
It's an outstanding product.

1324
00:45:59,970 --> 00:46:03,950
It's like it's like Bitcoin in from that

1325
00:46:03,950 --> 00:46:06,030
regard that you can't make more of it.

1326
00:46:06,250 --> 00:46:06,490
Right.

1327
00:46:06,850 --> 00:46:07,010
Yeah.

1328
00:46:07,030 --> 00:46:08,530
There's only so you're at the limit.

1329
00:46:08,750 --> 00:46:10,450
You're at the you're already done.

1330
00:46:10,590 --> 00:46:10,890
Wow.

1331
00:46:11,150 --> 00:46:14,190
All the bitcoins have been done and that's

1332
00:46:14,190 --> 00:46:14,810
real estate.

1333
00:46:15,010 --> 00:46:16,890
So real estate is always the best asset.

1334
00:46:17,050 --> 00:46:18,790
Bitcoin is digital real estate.

1335
00:46:19,410 --> 00:46:21,130
You know, you know who actually said that?

1336
00:46:22,270 --> 00:46:24,150
That micro strategies guy.

1337
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:25,390
Yeah.

1338
00:46:25,430 --> 00:46:27,150
Well, micro strategies are all in on that

1339
00:46:27,150 --> 00:46:28,150
sailor sailor.

1340
00:46:28,150 --> 00:46:28,510
So.

1341
00:46:29,250 --> 00:46:30,230
So, yeah.

1342
00:46:30,430 --> 00:46:32,890
So refi is the name of the game.

1343
00:46:33,490 --> 00:46:34,970
And and that could be a lot of

1344
00:46:34,970 --> 00:46:37,870
money doing it is you fluctuate and refi

1345
00:46:37,870 --> 00:46:40,730
business fluctuates with the interest rates when interest

1346
00:46:40,730 --> 00:46:41,730
rates go way down.

1347
00:46:42,550 --> 00:46:44,910
I mean, then, you know, now's the time

1348
00:46:44,910 --> 00:46:45,430
to refi.

1349
00:46:45,490 --> 00:46:46,910
And then all these ads are on TV

1350
00:46:46,910 --> 00:46:47,890
refi.

1351
00:46:48,070 --> 00:46:48,470
Exactly.

1352
00:46:49,610 --> 00:46:50,010
Refinance.

1353
00:46:50,030 --> 00:46:50,590
Here you go.

1354
00:46:50,650 --> 00:46:52,190
And then all the fees go in and

1355
00:46:52,190 --> 00:46:53,690
out of the refinance business.

1356
00:46:53,790 --> 00:46:55,170
And he's very good at, you know, in

1357
00:46:55,170 --> 00:46:57,950
fact, the thirty four felony counts that he

1358
00:46:57,950 --> 00:47:02,930
was indicted on in New York state were

1359
00:47:02,930 --> 00:47:07,170
for, you know, refi for refi.

1360
00:47:07,410 --> 00:47:09,350
Well, he undervalued his property.

1361
00:47:09,630 --> 00:47:10,350
Everybody does.

1362
00:47:10,530 --> 00:47:11,030
Yeah, of course.

1363
00:47:11,350 --> 00:47:12,790
You know, you do do what he did

1364
00:47:12,790 --> 00:47:13,750
is what you do.

1365
00:47:14,050 --> 00:47:14,910
And so you could bet.

1366
00:47:15,010 --> 00:47:16,470
Yeah, you can make a crime out of

1367
00:47:16,470 --> 00:47:17,830
anything if you wanted to.

1368
00:47:18,430 --> 00:47:21,010
And yeah, yeah, I think you're I think

1369
00:47:21,010 --> 00:47:21,610
you nailed it.

1370
00:47:21,690 --> 00:47:22,070
I think.

1371
00:47:22,290 --> 00:47:24,450
And and and and let's just bring back

1372
00:47:24,450 --> 00:47:27,290
in the stable coin gambit because, you know,

1373
00:47:27,330 --> 00:47:29,550
so we have to I guess a trillion

1374
00:47:29,550 --> 00:47:30,270
dollar coin.

1375
00:47:30,670 --> 00:47:32,550
Well, no, no, no, no.

1376
00:47:32,590 --> 00:47:33,690
That's the Bitcoin reserve.

1377
00:47:33,870 --> 00:47:35,830
No, the stable coin.

1378
00:47:35,950 --> 00:47:37,650
So we're going to go through this refi,

1379
00:47:38,090 --> 00:47:39,890
which means all of the all of the

1380
00:47:39,890 --> 00:47:42,010
bonds come due or not all of them.

1381
00:47:42,090 --> 00:47:44,230
But in April, we'll say so it's two

1382
00:47:44,230 --> 00:47:44,610
trillion.

1383
00:47:45,050 --> 00:47:45,910
So boom.

1384
00:47:46,190 --> 00:47:47,630
And then, of course, we're going to refile.

1385
00:47:47,750 --> 00:47:52,390
So we create new bonds or treasuries or

1386
00:47:52,390 --> 00:47:53,350
whatever they're called.

1387
00:47:53,930 --> 00:47:56,410
And then right away, we pop a stable

1388
00:47:56,410 --> 00:47:57,810
coin on top of that two trillion.

1389
00:47:57,890 --> 00:48:00,210
We've got a two trillion extra at no

1390
00:48:00,210 --> 00:48:03,670
perceived balance sheet cost because it's independent companies

1391
00:48:03,670 --> 00:48:04,230
who do that.

1392
00:48:04,810 --> 00:48:06,290
And then we can flood the market.

1393
00:48:06,410 --> 00:48:07,610
Everybody can use their dollars.

1394
00:48:07,870 --> 00:48:10,350
And and then we maintain the dominance of

1395
00:48:10,350 --> 00:48:11,070
the US dollar.

1396
00:48:11,590 --> 00:48:13,090
The timing may be interesting.

1397
00:48:14,510 --> 00:48:15,990
But we'll just have to watch and see

1398
00:48:15,990 --> 00:48:16,530
what happens.

1399
00:48:17,070 --> 00:48:17,810
But not only that.

1400
00:48:18,070 --> 00:48:20,930
Fighting against why people are fighting against it

1401
00:48:20,930 --> 00:48:22,650
is is the bigger question.

1402
00:48:23,110 --> 00:48:25,030
This morning, there was a big riot that

1403
00:48:25,030 --> 00:48:26,550
took place at Trump Tower.

1404
00:48:26,970 --> 00:48:27,070
Yeah.

1405
00:48:27,230 --> 00:48:28,970
Not a complete riot, but it was all

1406
00:48:28,970 --> 00:48:31,710
these people, probably a couple thousand people, all

1407
00:48:31,710 --> 00:48:34,150
wearing the exact same T-shirt trying to,

1408
00:48:34,510 --> 00:48:36,690
you know, this guy Mahmoud, whoever it is,

1409
00:48:36,830 --> 00:48:38,290
they want to release him.

1410
00:48:38,370 --> 00:48:39,530
He's going to be shipped out of the

1411
00:48:39,530 --> 00:48:39,830
country.

1412
00:48:40,050 --> 00:48:41,430
And there's a big protest going on.

1413
00:48:41,450 --> 00:48:43,690
Actually, I have a play clip of that.

1414
00:48:43,750 --> 00:48:45,310
I have a clip of that Mahmoud guy.

1415
00:48:45,470 --> 00:48:47,010
I want to get your take on it.

1416
00:48:47,850 --> 00:48:48,650
Where is it?

1417
00:48:50,730 --> 00:48:52,030
Yeah, here it is.

1418
00:48:52,130 --> 00:48:52,710
Mahmoud guy.

1419
00:48:52,990 --> 00:48:55,190
Does the administration believe that it means to

1420
00:48:55,190 --> 00:48:57,970
charge a green card holder with a crime

1421
00:48:57,970 --> 00:49:00,310
to be eligible for deportation?

1422
00:49:00,650 --> 00:49:05,310
Well, in fact, Secretary Rubio reserves the right

1423
00:49:05,310 --> 00:49:08,050
to revoke the visa of Mahmoud Khalil.

1424
00:49:08,190 --> 00:49:09,970
And I'm glad you brought this up under

1425
00:49:09,970 --> 00:49:11,870
the Immigration and Nationality Act.

1426
00:49:11,910 --> 00:49:14,230
The secretary of state has the right to

1427
00:49:14,230 --> 00:49:17,350
revoke a green card or a visa for

1428
00:49:17,350 --> 00:49:20,870
individuals who serve or are adversarial to the

1429
00:49:20,870 --> 00:49:23,310
foreign policy and national security interests of the

1430
00:49:23,310 --> 00:49:24,370
United States of America.

1431
00:49:24,950 --> 00:49:27,750
And Mahmoud Khalil was an individual who was

1432
00:49:27,750 --> 00:49:30,290
given the privilege of coming to this country

1433
00:49:30,290 --> 00:49:32,650
to study at one of our nation's finest

1434
00:49:32,650 --> 00:49:34,750
universities and colleges.

1435
00:49:35,330 --> 00:49:37,990
And he took advantage of that opportunity, of

1436
00:49:37,990 --> 00:49:41,670
that privilege by siding with terrorists, Hamas terrorists

1437
00:49:41,670 --> 00:49:44,090
who have killed innocent men, women and children.

1438
00:49:44,090 --> 00:49:47,830
This is an individual who organized group protests

1439
00:49:47,830 --> 00:49:51,950
that not only disrupted college campus classes and

1440
00:49:51,950 --> 00:49:54,590
harassed Jewish American students and made them feel

1441
00:49:54,590 --> 00:49:57,630
unsafe on their own college campus, but also

1442
00:49:57,630 --> 00:50:01,930
distributed pro-Hamas propaganda, flyers with the logo

1443
00:50:01,930 --> 00:50:02,710
of Hamas.

1444
00:50:03,050 --> 00:50:05,570
That is what the behavior and activity that

1445
00:50:05,570 --> 00:50:07,310
this individual engaged in.

1446
00:50:07,390 --> 00:50:09,190
And I have those flyers on my desk.

1447
00:50:09,270 --> 00:50:10,650
They were provided to me by the Department

1448
00:50:10,650 --> 00:50:11,470
of Homeland Security.

1449
00:50:11,470 --> 00:50:13,550
I thought about bringing them into this briefing

1450
00:50:13,550 --> 00:50:14,810
room to share with all of you, but

1451
00:50:14,810 --> 00:50:16,870
I didn't think it was worth the dignity

1452
00:50:16,870 --> 00:50:19,210
of this room to bring that pro-Hamas

1453
00:50:19,210 --> 00:50:19,850
propaganda.

1454
00:50:20,030 --> 00:50:21,990
But that's what this individual distributed on the

1455
00:50:21,990 --> 00:50:23,230
campus of Columbia University.

1456
00:50:23,510 --> 00:50:25,930
And this administration is not going to tolerate

1457
00:50:25,930 --> 00:50:29,010
individuals having the privilege of studying in our

1458
00:50:29,010 --> 00:50:32,490
country and then siding with pro-terrorist organizations

1459
00:50:32,490 --> 00:50:34,130
that have killed Americans.

1460
00:50:34,550 --> 00:50:37,110
We have a zero tolerance policy for siding

1461
00:50:37,110 --> 00:50:38,290
with terrorists, period.

1462
00:50:39,010 --> 00:50:41,570
Now, did he actually organize these protests?

1463
00:50:41,910 --> 00:50:43,810
Was that his gig?

1464
00:50:44,070 --> 00:50:45,310
No, he wasn't the organizer.

1465
00:50:45,510 --> 00:50:46,750
He was one of the elements.

1466
00:50:46,870 --> 00:50:48,830
He was a key element and he was

1467
00:50:48,830 --> 00:50:50,250
a big protester himself.

1468
00:50:50,530 --> 00:50:53,490
And he was also supposedly the negotiator between

1469
00:50:53,490 --> 00:50:54,970
the school and the protesters.

1470
00:50:55,130 --> 00:50:56,550
He was going to be the arbiter or

1471
00:50:56,550 --> 00:50:56,870
whatever.

1472
00:50:57,350 --> 00:50:58,430
It's beside the point.

1473
00:50:58,990 --> 00:51:01,770
The way I see it is that these

1474
00:51:01,770 --> 00:51:05,410
visas are given out for students that, you

1475
00:51:05,410 --> 00:51:07,410
know, they go through rigamarole so they can

1476
00:51:07,410 --> 00:51:08,970
go to some school over here and they

1477
00:51:08,970 --> 00:51:11,010
come over here and start moaning and groaning

1478
00:51:11,010 --> 00:51:13,950
about everything, about the government, or I don't

1479
00:51:13,950 --> 00:51:16,430
even care if it was like about Hamas.

1480
00:51:16,830 --> 00:51:19,150
It seems to me that this is a

1481
00:51:19,150 --> 00:51:23,710
kind of a gift, the visa for student

1482
00:51:23,710 --> 00:51:25,950
visas are a gift to people.

1483
00:51:26,190 --> 00:51:28,210
I mean, it's an expensive gift because you

1484
00:51:28,210 --> 00:51:29,890
got to give the school has to be

1485
00:51:29,890 --> 00:51:30,910
full tuition.

1486
00:51:31,110 --> 00:51:32,950
So, you know, there's something like, oh, God,

1487
00:51:32,970 --> 00:51:34,890
we don't want to screw the schools completely

1488
00:51:35,330 --> 00:51:37,110
because there's a lot of free money here.

1489
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,130
But now you can kick the guy out

1490
00:51:39,130 --> 00:51:41,090
at first looking at your cross-eyed.

1491
00:51:41,210 --> 00:51:42,450
I don't see why the big they're making

1492
00:51:42,450 --> 00:51:43,950
such a big fuss about this.

1493
00:51:44,330 --> 00:51:46,230
If the guy looks at your cross-eyed,

1494
00:51:46,530 --> 00:51:47,650
he's got a student visa.

1495
00:51:47,770 --> 00:51:48,450
You don't like him.

1496
00:51:48,490 --> 00:51:49,170
You kick him out.

1497
00:51:49,730 --> 00:51:50,850
I don't get it.

1498
00:51:51,330 --> 00:51:52,130
OK, just checking.

1499
00:51:52,250 --> 00:51:56,030
Well, because we're seeing delusional people running around

1500
00:51:56,030 --> 00:51:59,210
doing all and these protests, you know, and

1501
00:51:59,210 --> 00:52:00,870
yes, those are organized.

1502
00:52:00,870 --> 00:52:04,110
I'm starting to think the Tesla dealership and

1503
00:52:04,110 --> 00:52:06,270
charging stations are also organized.

1504
00:52:06,390 --> 00:52:06,910
Oh, yeah.

1505
00:52:06,990 --> 00:52:09,150
But there's an element of vigilantism.

1506
00:52:09,410 --> 00:52:13,290
Here's Anderson Cooper 360 Tesla vehicles on fire

1507
00:52:13,290 --> 00:52:15,330
at this car lot in Seattle over the

1508
00:52:15,330 --> 00:52:15,710
weekend.

1509
00:52:15,970 --> 00:52:18,310
The cause still under investigation.

1510
00:52:18,630 --> 00:52:21,070
A fire erupted at a Tesla charging station

1511
00:52:21,070 --> 00:52:26,410
in Littleton, Massachusetts, after police say vandals targeted

1512
00:52:26,410 --> 00:52:27,770
that center last week.

1513
00:52:27,770 --> 00:52:30,310
This person caught on camera throwing a Molotov

1514
00:52:30,310 --> 00:52:33,090
cocktail at a Tesla showroom in Oregon weeks

1515
00:52:33,090 --> 00:52:36,750
after police near Portland responded to shots fired

1516
00:52:36,750 --> 00:52:37,790
at the same location.

1517
00:52:37,890 --> 00:52:40,450
It comes as protests have broken out across

1518
00:52:40,450 --> 00:52:42,970
the country and Tesla locations from New York

1519
00:52:42,970 --> 00:52:46,450
to California, all in response to Elon Musk's

1520
00:52:46,450 --> 00:52:50,070
involvement with Doge Department of Government Efficiency and

1521
00:52:50,070 --> 00:52:51,610
its cut to federal workers.

1522
00:52:51,850 --> 00:52:55,350
He's also facing criticism over his alignment with

1523
00:52:55,350 --> 00:52:56,610
far right politics.

1524
00:52:56,610 --> 00:53:00,390
Tesla shares have plunged, losing nearly half of

1525
00:53:00,390 --> 00:53:03,210
their value since Trump took office and Musk

1526
00:53:03,210 --> 00:53:05,290
began slashing federal agencies.

1527
00:53:05,550 --> 00:53:07,270
The richest man in the world has taken

1528
00:53:07,270 --> 00:53:10,090
a hit to his fortune, losing $29 billion

1529
00:53:10,090 --> 00:53:13,250
in net worth on Monday alone, though he's

1530
00:53:13,250 --> 00:53:15,190
still worth over $300 billion.

1531
00:53:15,930 --> 00:53:19,130
Some Tesla owners are feeling buyers remorse.

1532
00:53:19,270 --> 00:53:22,290
Had I had the option of purchasing a

1533
00:53:22,290 --> 00:53:24,750
Cybertruck after the inauguration, I just wouldn't.

1534
00:53:24,750 --> 00:53:27,190
Others have decided to sell at a loss.

1535
00:53:28,750 --> 00:53:30,470
About $18,000 to $20,000.

1536
00:53:31,310 --> 00:53:31,790
Loss?

1537
00:53:32,310 --> 00:53:32,570
Yes.

1538
00:53:33,030 --> 00:53:35,330
And those who proudly want to keep driving

1539
00:53:35,330 --> 00:53:36,110
their Teslas.

1540
00:53:36,290 --> 00:53:37,130
I'm going to keep it.

1541
00:53:37,190 --> 00:53:38,010
I'm going to defend it.

1542
00:53:38,610 --> 00:53:40,330
So no, I'm not selling my Tesla.

1543
00:53:40,630 --> 00:53:43,510
This is perhaps the most disturbing part is

1544
00:53:43,510 --> 00:53:46,370
the car you drive now.

1545
00:53:46,590 --> 00:53:47,750
And have we ever had this?

1546
00:53:47,790 --> 00:53:49,190
Did we ever have that in the 70s?

1547
00:53:49,190 --> 00:53:51,050
I'm trying to think.

1548
00:53:51,390 --> 00:53:53,690
Wasn't there a time when we would honk

1549
00:53:53,690 --> 00:53:55,990
at some import or scoff at it?

1550
00:53:56,070 --> 00:53:56,410
Was there anything?

1551
00:53:56,550 --> 00:53:56,670
No.

1552
00:53:57,110 --> 00:53:58,010
No, never?

1553
00:53:58,990 --> 00:54:00,770
I know in France it's true.

1554
00:54:01,470 --> 00:54:03,330
A friend of mine, a good friend of

1555
00:54:03,330 --> 00:54:04,510
mine that lives there.

1556
00:54:05,170 --> 00:54:07,430
We'll call him Pierre for reasons of anonymity.

1557
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:11,290
Well, he lived in a little town outside

1558
00:54:11,290 --> 00:54:15,210
of Paris and he had bought a Japanese

1559
00:54:15,210 --> 00:54:19,050
car and they were basically doing everything to

1560
00:54:19,050 --> 00:54:19,750
run him off the road.

1561
00:54:20,030 --> 00:54:22,670
The French were not going for you having

1562
00:54:22,670 --> 00:54:24,650
Japanese cars in France.

1563
00:54:24,790 --> 00:54:28,290
This was about, I'd say in the late

1564
00:54:28,290 --> 00:54:29,870
70s, early 80s.

1565
00:54:30,290 --> 00:54:33,970
That's changed because the Japanese cars, what are

1566
00:54:33,970 --> 00:54:34,410
you going to do?

1567
00:54:34,530 --> 00:54:34,990
And they were good.

1568
00:54:35,130 --> 00:54:36,830
I mean, Toyota is Toyota.

1569
00:54:37,010 --> 00:54:37,810
Yeah, good cars.

1570
00:54:37,990 --> 00:54:40,610
The BYD is not a bad operation out

1571
00:54:40,610 --> 00:54:41,070
of China.

1572
00:54:41,550 --> 00:54:46,510
And so, but there was, he says it

1573
00:54:46,510 --> 00:54:49,510
was notable that the French, if you weren't

1574
00:54:49,510 --> 00:54:51,190
driving a French car, they got really mad

1575
00:54:51,190 --> 00:54:51,570
at you.

1576
00:54:52,210 --> 00:54:54,070
But that never happened, that I know of,

1577
00:54:54,070 --> 00:54:55,250
it's never happened in this country.

1578
00:54:55,290 --> 00:54:56,990
And I was always having a car as

1579
00:54:56,990 --> 00:54:57,490
a kid.

1580
00:54:57,930 --> 00:55:00,210
Well, certainly not to this extreme.

1581
00:55:13,970 --> 00:55:19,470
Take your gold Tesla, the Banshee Oaks, climb

1582
00:55:19,470 --> 00:55:24,430
in and drive down to Florida or drive

1583
00:55:24,430 --> 00:55:25,550
to Tennessee.

1584
00:55:26,070 --> 00:55:28,990
I refuse to get terrorized to do something

1585
00:55:28,990 --> 00:55:30,510
they want me to do, to force me

1586
00:55:30,510 --> 00:55:30,990
to do that.

1587
00:55:41,350 --> 00:55:46,190
The thumbs down, flipped off, mean mugged, cut

1588
00:55:46,190 --> 00:55:46,730
off.

1589
00:55:47,070 --> 00:55:49,810
She wrote an essay about her experiences for

1590
00:55:49,810 --> 00:55:51,010
Business Insider.

1591
00:55:51,490 --> 00:55:52,930
Then she says things got worse.

1592
00:55:53,170 --> 00:55:54,690
I've been sent death wishes.

1593
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:58,750
So folks have sent, I wish that, I

1594
00:55:58,750 --> 00:55:59,750
hope, how do they say it?

1595
00:56:00,090 --> 00:56:02,810
I hope that your cyber truck catches on

1596
00:56:02,810 --> 00:56:04,990
fire with the doors locked and you inside.

1597
00:56:05,230 --> 00:56:07,410
But the backlash seems to have only strengthened

1598
00:56:07,410 --> 00:56:09,290
Musk's relationship with the president.

1599
00:56:09,290 --> 00:56:11,770
Just today, Trump said he would look to

1600
00:56:11,770 --> 00:56:15,830
have attacks on Tesla dealerships designated as domestic

1601
00:56:15,830 --> 00:56:16,530
terrorism.

1602
00:56:16,850 --> 00:56:17,710
I will do that.

1603
00:56:17,870 --> 00:56:18,370
I'll do it.

1604
00:56:18,410 --> 00:56:19,210
I'm going to stop them.

1605
00:56:19,470 --> 00:56:22,330
We catch anybody doing it because they're harming

1606
00:56:22,330 --> 00:56:23,970
a great American company.

1607
00:56:24,090 --> 00:56:25,390
And let me tell you, you do it

1608
00:56:25,390 --> 00:56:27,110
to Tesla and you do it to any

1609
00:56:27,110 --> 00:56:30,370
company, we're going to catch you and you're

1610
00:56:30,370 --> 00:56:31,710
going to go through hell.

1611
00:56:31,710 --> 00:56:36,110
So you've been noticing in your TikTok escapades

1612
00:56:36,110 --> 00:56:40,730
and I'm sorry, research, scrolling, you've been seeing

1613
00:56:40,730 --> 00:56:44,530
more and more people who presumably will be

1614
00:56:44,530 --> 00:56:47,990
Democrat voters on the left who are just

1615
00:56:47,990 --> 00:56:51,710
foul mouthed about everything that's going on with

1616
00:56:51,710 --> 00:56:52,990
Elon and Doge, right?

1617
00:56:53,490 --> 00:56:54,010
Yeah.

1618
00:56:54,190 --> 00:56:54,450
Yeah.

1619
00:56:54,530 --> 00:56:55,690
It's pretty astonishing.

1620
00:56:55,690 --> 00:57:01,370
So I was invited on Tuesday evening to

1621
00:57:01,370 --> 00:57:02,230
do Flashpoint.

1622
00:57:02,350 --> 00:57:03,950
Have you ever seen Flashpoint USA?

1623
00:57:03,970 --> 00:57:04,970
I don't know Flashpoint.

1624
00:57:05,150 --> 00:57:07,090
Flashpoint is hosted by George Bailey.

1625
00:57:08,930 --> 00:57:11,210
I've seen him around and he has a

1626
00:57:11,210 --> 00:57:11,850
panel on.

1627
00:57:12,450 --> 00:57:14,450
It's a podcast, a video podcast.

1628
00:57:15,430 --> 00:57:16,570
It's on television.

1629
00:57:17,110 --> 00:57:18,310
You know, I don't know, like the Victory

1630
00:57:18,310 --> 00:57:19,150
Channel or something.

1631
00:57:19,370 --> 00:57:22,330
It's close to Newsmax on your cable box,

1632
00:57:22,390 --> 00:57:22,790
no doubt.

1633
00:57:23,370 --> 00:57:24,810
But they stream it live.

1634
00:57:26,790 --> 00:57:28,670
And, you know, and so and there's like

1635
00:57:28,670 --> 00:57:30,090
Dutch sheets.

1636
00:57:30,730 --> 00:57:30,970
Where is it?

1637
00:57:30,990 --> 00:57:31,730
Where is it located?

1638
00:57:32,770 --> 00:57:33,630
I don't know.

1639
00:57:34,090 --> 00:57:34,770
Where'd you go?

1640
00:57:34,950 --> 00:57:35,250
No, no.

1641
00:57:35,330 --> 00:57:35,910
Oh, you were on.

1642
00:57:36,030 --> 00:57:36,990
Oh, you're sitting over Zoom.

1643
00:57:37,030 --> 00:57:38,690
No, it's you have six box, six box.

1644
00:57:38,790 --> 00:57:40,050
No, they still use Skype.

1645
00:57:40,170 --> 00:57:41,230
I said, do you know Skype is going

1646
00:57:41,230 --> 00:57:41,430
away?

1647
00:57:41,490 --> 00:57:43,650
But it's professional because it's in real time

1648
00:57:43,650 --> 00:57:45,650
and you got a producer talking to you.

1649
00:57:45,730 --> 00:57:48,390
Okay, everybody box, box, which means stop picking

1650
00:57:48,390 --> 00:57:48,870
your nose.

1651
00:57:48,950 --> 00:57:50,050
You're all going to be on in your

1652
00:57:50,050 --> 00:57:50,450
box.

1653
00:57:51,090 --> 00:57:53,010
I was in a sexto box.

1654
00:57:53,630 --> 00:57:55,290
So I'm in the box.

1655
00:57:56,410 --> 00:57:57,990
And the only reason I went on is

1656
00:57:57,990 --> 00:57:59,690
because I want to promote the show.

1657
00:58:00,170 --> 00:58:00,570
Sure.

1658
00:58:00,870 --> 00:58:02,370
And they asked me, like, what do you

1659
00:58:02,370 --> 00:58:02,770
want to press?

1660
00:58:02,810 --> 00:58:06,690
No agenda show and my other projects.

1661
00:58:07,050 --> 00:58:07,770
Okay, that's fine.

1662
00:58:07,790 --> 00:58:08,990
And I had no idea.

1663
00:58:09,190 --> 00:58:11,170
I had watched some of these shows just

1664
00:58:11,170 --> 00:58:12,190
to prep myself.

1665
00:58:12,410 --> 00:58:14,130
And sometimes it was one person.

1666
00:58:14,130 --> 00:58:15,770
And then I saw more of these boxes.

1667
00:58:15,770 --> 00:58:17,050
I didn't know what I was walking into.

1668
00:58:17,150 --> 00:58:20,330
So five minutes before seven, they call Skype,

1669
00:58:20,470 --> 00:58:21,850
you know, and I see I'm in the

1670
00:58:21,850 --> 00:58:22,250
box.

1671
00:58:22,250 --> 00:58:24,730
Counting it down 15 seconds to George.

1672
00:58:25,030 --> 00:58:26,430
It's like, wow, it's like real television.

1673
00:58:26,550 --> 00:58:27,470
I haven't done that in a while.

1674
00:58:28,470 --> 00:58:30,070
And, you know, so they actually start off

1675
00:58:30,070 --> 00:58:30,390
on me.

1676
00:58:30,450 --> 00:58:31,370
I do my promotions.

1677
00:58:31,370 --> 00:58:33,170
They show the MTV guy were there.

1678
00:58:35,050 --> 00:58:36,610
No one's ever done that one.

1679
00:58:37,850 --> 00:58:40,770
And one guy is like in Trump's envoy

1680
00:58:40,770 --> 00:58:44,470
to Israel, and he waxes on and on

1681
00:58:44,470 --> 00:58:44,890
and on.

1682
00:58:45,170 --> 00:58:47,150
And then they're talking about all the people,

1683
00:58:47,270 --> 00:58:49,910
you know, hating Elon and going after Doge.

1684
00:58:49,910 --> 00:58:52,050
And so I do my typical thing.

1685
00:58:52,190 --> 00:58:53,430
You know, I say, hey, you know, it's

1686
00:58:53,430 --> 00:58:55,150
like these people need prayers.

1687
00:58:55,790 --> 00:58:57,090
They're living in darkness.

1688
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,790
So this account on X called Right Wing

1689
00:59:00,790 --> 00:59:01,310
Watch.

1690
00:59:01,650 --> 00:59:03,070
Have you ever seen that account?

1691
00:59:03,210 --> 00:59:04,570
They got half a million followers.

1692
00:59:05,010 --> 00:59:06,550
So they clip a bit out of it,

1693
00:59:07,090 --> 00:59:08,550
which is, you know, where I'm basically saying

1694
00:59:08,550 --> 00:59:10,750
all these people, you know, they're living in

1695
00:59:10,750 --> 00:59:14,070
a cloud of spiritual darkness and they need

1696
00:59:14,070 --> 00:59:14,350
prayers.

1697
00:59:14,530 --> 00:59:16,730
Well, let me just read some of the

1698
00:59:16,730 --> 00:59:17,310
comments.

1699
00:59:17,310 --> 00:59:22,330
FU, double FU, FFFU, cocaine brain worm.

1700
00:59:22,830 --> 00:59:24,870
Oh, double F him.

1701
00:59:25,290 --> 00:59:27,050
Adam needs to go F himself.

1702
00:59:27,770 --> 00:59:29,970
I mean, it's all just complete.

1703
00:59:31,290 --> 00:59:34,410
Just they've got nothing to say, just cursing.

1704
00:59:34,750 --> 00:59:37,810
For your comment that people need prayers.

1705
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,730
Here, Adam Curry can go fuck himself.

1706
00:59:39,910 --> 00:59:40,670
What a dumb fuck.

1707
00:59:40,750 --> 00:59:42,490
He's the one that has serious issues.

1708
00:59:42,750 --> 00:59:44,190
Doge needs to stay the fuck out of

1709
00:59:44,190 --> 00:59:44,510
government.

1710
00:59:44,670 --> 00:59:46,010
They're screwing the American people.

1711
00:59:46,010 --> 00:59:48,010
What the fuck is wrong with Christians?

1712
00:59:50,150 --> 00:59:53,070
And, you know, and then gifs of middle

1713
00:59:53,070 --> 00:59:54,210
fingers being thrown.

1714
00:59:54,470 --> 00:59:58,090
Not a single, not a single normal argument.

1715
00:59:59,090 --> 01:00:00,690
And to me, of course, it was like,

1716
01:00:00,770 --> 01:00:02,650
wow, you're kind of proving my point.

1717
01:00:03,670 --> 01:00:06,530
You're completely living under some dark cloud.

1718
01:00:06,610 --> 01:00:09,250
It was really bizarre.

1719
01:00:11,190 --> 01:00:13,990
Well, I'm glad you stepped into it, not

1720
01:00:13,990 --> 01:00:14,350
me.

1721
01:00:14,450 --> 01:00:15,490
Oh, I'm happy.

1722
01:00:15,490 --> 01:00:17,690
You know, it's like when you're over the

1723
01:00:17,690 --> 01:00:19,330
target, that's when the flak comes in.

1724
01:00:19,390 --> 01:00:21,830
So I guess I hit a nerve and

1725
01:00:21,830 --> 01:00:23,470
these people must be feeling it.

1726
01:00:24,490 --> 01:00:26,930
And then, so I'm listening to what it

1727
01:00:26,930 --> 01:00:27,550
is.

1728
01:00:28,210 --> 01:00:30,210
It's literally spiritual darkness.

1729
01:00:30,390 --> 01:00:31,790
What else can you make of it?

1730
01:00:32,450 --> 01:00:33,990
I mean, it's not politics.

1731
01:00:34,270 --> 01:00:35,590
This is not politics.

1732
01:00:36,010 --> 01:00:36,410
FU.

1733
01:00:37,470 --> 01:00:39,790
There's not an argument saying, well, I think,

1734
01:00:39,870 --> 01:00:40,990
you know, this doesn't make sense.

1735
01:00:42,470 --> 01:00:42,870
FU.

1736
01:00:44,530 --> 01:00:46,450
They can't, it's the only word they can

1737
01:00:46,450 --> 01:00:47,630
say, the F-bomb.

1738
01:00:47,950 --> 01:00:49,050
It's embarrassing.

1739
01:00:49,350 --> 01:00:50,210
That's all they got.

1740
01:00:50,430 --> 01:00:53,410
And so now the, my hate list.

1741
01:00:53,510 --> 01:00:54,970
By the way, it reminds me of early

1742
01:00:54,970 --> 01:00:57,610
days of podcasting when everyone was cussing because

1743
01:00:57,610 --> 01:00:59,850
they could because, oh, I'm not on broadcast

1744
01:00:59,850 --> 01:01:00,390
radio.

1745
01:01:00,430 --> 01:01:01,850
So I'm on a podcast so I can

1746
01:01:01,850 --> 01:01:02,710
cuss, cuss, cuss.

1747
01:01:02,830 --> 01:01:03,050
Yeah.

1748
01:01:03,350 --> 01:01:05,250
And it gets really old fast.

1749
01:01:05,450 --> 01:01:06,350
Very fast.

1750
01:01:06,770 --> 01:01:11,010
But some damn has been uncorked and it's

1751
01:01:11,010 --> 01:01:11,590
okay.

1752
01:01:11,590 --> 01:01:17,670
But that's, if you accentuate a statement with

1753
01:01:17,670 --> 01:01:19,210
an F-U and you've got something to

1754
01:01:19,210 --> 01:01:20,870
say, but that's, it was just literally, F

1755
01:01:20,870 --> 01:01:21,110
-U.

1756
01:01:22,390 --> 01:01:23,670
That's not what's going on.

1757
01:01:23,730 --> 01:01:24,530
They're just saying it.

1758
01:01:24,990 --> 01:01:28,730
It's, they're using it in regular context.

1759
01:01:28,870 --> 01:01:30,370
In other words, you're just dropping F-bombs

1760
01:01:30,370 --> 01:01:33,470
throughout a sentence, which means that they have

1761
01:01:33,470 --> 01:01:36,850
either their vocabulary has frozen up.

1762
01:01:36,950 --> 01:01:37,450
Yes, that's for sure.

1763
01:01:37,450 --> 01:01:38,910
They can't say anything interesting.

1764
01:01:39,390 --> 01:01:40,030
For sure.

1765
01:01:41,650 --> 01:01:43,270
Or their IQ has dropped.

1766
01:01:43,550 --> 01:01:45,290
I can't put my finger on what it

1767
01:01:45,290 --> 01:01:45,530
is.

1768
01:01:45,710 --> 01:01:48,290
So for months, I've been listening to Pivot.

1769
01:01:49,130 --> 01:01:49,970
Yeah, that's right.

1770
01:01:50,050 --> 01:01:50,830
Pivot clip incoming.

1771
01:01:51,210 --> 01:01:53,730
For months, I've been listening to Pivot with

1772
01:01:53,730 --> 01:01:56,310
Kara Swisher and Professor Scott Galloway.

1773
01:01:57,130 --> 01:01:57,770
And his houses.

1774
01:01:58,310 --> 01:01:59,890
And it's, well, they all got multiple houses.

1775
01:02:00,330 --> 01:02:02,350
And so they're in Austin, South by Southwest.

1776
01:02:02,550 --> 01:02:05,090
Now, what I didn't clip this, but, you

1777
01:02:05,090 --> 01:02:06,870
know, he was saying, it's Austin's great.

1778
01:02:06,870 --> 01:02:08,270
And there's no taxes in Texas.

1779
01:02:08,390 --> 01:02:10,970
And Kara Swisher's like, well, I can't live

1780
01:02:10,970 --> 01:02:11,290
here.

1781
01:02:11,830 --> 01:02:13,230
Because they hate the gays.

1782
01:02:13,970 --> 01:02:15,230
And, you know, and it's a live crowd.

1783
01:02:15,550 --> 01:02:18,130
And they hate the gays.

1784
01:02:18,350 --> 01:02:20,570
Yeah, there's plenty of gays in Texas.

1785
01:02:20,730 --> 01:02:21,270
Let me tell you.

1786
01:02:21,550 --> 01:02:23,970
So there's literally, yeah, there's gay cowboys.

1787
01:02:24,350 --> 01:02:26,650
So there's literally, you can hear the gays

1788
01:02:26,650 --> 01:02:28,490
piping up in this Austin audience.

1789
01:02:28,850 --> 01:02:30,790
And then she said, goes on to say,

1790
01:02:31,110 --> 01:02:32,130
well, you know what I mean?

1791
01:02:32,130 --> 01:02:32,890
It's not Austin.

1792
01:02:32,990 --> 01:02:34,810
It's the state because I'd be afraid for

1793
01:02:34,810 --> 01:02:35,490
my family.

1794
01:02:35,710 --> 01:02:37,550
I'd love, I'd love no taxes, but I'd

1795
01:02:37,550 --> 01:02:38,810
be afraid for my family.

1796
01:02:38,990 --> 01:02:39,930
Okay, fine.

1797
01:02:39,930 --> 01:02:42,950
So for months, they've been talking about the

1798
01:02:42,950 --> 01:02:45,270
kleptocracy, the kleptocracy.

1799
01:02:45,530 --> 01:02:48,630
David Sachs, all he's doing is he's setting

1800
01:02:48,630 --> 01:02:50,870
up the Bitcoin strategic reserve to fill up

1801
01:02:50,870 --> 01:02:52,850
his bags and to exit with all this.

1802
01:02:52,950 --> 01:02:54,350
He'll be even richer than he was.

1803
01:02:54,470 --> 01:02:57,930
By the way, he sold every single cryptocurrency

1804
01:02:57,930 --> 01:02:59,350
he had two months ago.

1805
01:02:59,610 --> 01:03:02,950
He divested from any fund, including his buddy,

1806
01:03:03,190 --> 01:03:05,570
Jason Calacanis, who has, I guess has a

1807
01:03:05,570 --> 01:03:07,670
fund, who has one or two companies in

1808
01:03:07,670 --> 01:03:09,130
there that might have some, he got rid

1809
01:03:09,130 --> 01:03:09,670
of everything.

1810
01:03:09,670 --> 01:03:10,450
Guy's rich.

1811
01:03:10,510 --> 01:03:12,530
He doesn't need more money.

1812
01:03:14,550 --> 01:03:17,370
So how often have we heard for weeks,

1813
01:03:17,570 --> 01:03:21,930
months, Elon, he bought the presidency $270 million

1814
01:03:21,930 --> 01:03:26,270
to make his businesses even better, to get,

1815
01:03:26,330 --> 01:03:27,750
become richer, richer.

1816
01:03:28,110 --> 01:03:30,010
And so now, of course, it's falling apart

1817
01:03:30,010 --> 01:03:32,250
because it turns out it's not true.

1818
01:03:32,370 --> 01:03:34,130
And listen to how pivot pivots.

1819
01:03:34,310 --> 01:03:36,130
Like David Sachs getting involved in crypto and

1820
01:03:36,130 --> 01:03:38,610
then getting Trump to have dinner with the

1821
01:03:38,610 --> 01:03:40,710
guy from Ripple who probably promised him money.

1822
01:03:40,910 --> 01:03:42,290
And then all of a sudden deciding to

1823
01:03:42,290 --> 01:03:45,790
include Ripple in the strategic Bitcoin reserve.

1824
01:03:45,870 --> 01:03:47,710
By the way, there's nothing fucking strategic about

1825
01:03:47,710 --> 01:03:47,950
that.

1826
01:03:48,330 --> 01:03:49,890
And then all of a sudden Ripple rips.

1827
01:03:50,370 --> 01:03:54,190
That's pure, that's smart political kleptocracy corruption.

1828
01:03:54,490 --> 01:03:55,390
But at least that's smart.

1829
01:03:55,930 --> 01:03:58,090
His political forays so far, I don't think

1830
01:03:58,090 --> 01:03:58,990
are paying off for him.

1831
01:03:59,270 --> 01:04:00,630
I still think it's a really good car.

1832
01:04:00,890 --> 01:04:03,330
I think, you know, I can't help it.

1833
01:04:03,350 --> 01:04:04,530
I got a Tesla on my Uber app.

1834
01:04:04,570 --> 01:04:06,070
I cancel or I let him wait outside.

1835
01:04:06,230 --> 01:04:06,870
I know that's wrong.

1836
01:04:06,870 --> 01:04:08,450
What a horrible person.

1837
01:04:09,830 --> 01:04:12,530
So when he orders an Uber and it

1838
01:04:12,530 --> 01:04:14,990
shows up, it's a Tesla, then he'll cancel.

1839
01:04:15,830 --> 01:04:17,990
Because he doesn't want to be in a

1840
01:04:17,990 --> 01:04:18,390
Tesla.

1841
01:04:20,270 --> 01:04:22,070
But it is a good car.

1842
01:04:22,210 --> 01:04:23,050
It's a great company.

1843
01:04:23,570 --> 01:04:25,990
It should trade at a multiple of 50

1844
01:04:25,990 --> 01:04:27,290
to 100% more than the other car

1845
01:04:27,290 --> 01:04:29,930
companies, meaning it's a $25 or $30 stock.

1846
01:04:30,090 --> 01:04:32,010
So where's the benefit for him in this?

1847
01:04:32,330 --> 01:04:33,390
Yeah, where's the benefit?

1848
01:04:33,390 --> 01:04:36,530
Didn't you say that it was kleptocracy so

1849
01:04:36,530 --> 01:04:37,830
he could become even richer?

1850
01:04:38,010 --> 01:04:39,590
And now the opposite is happening?

1851
01:04:39,990 --> 01:04:40,930
What's the benefit?

1852
01:04:41,730 --> 01:04:42,850
Kleptocracy, you speak of.

1853
01:04:43,110 --> 01:04:44,270
That's the correct question.

1854
01:04:44,490 --> 01:04:44,930
I don't know.

1855
01:04:45,050 --> 01:04:48,530
Fame, narcissism, go red pill, clear out inspectors.

1856
01:04:48,730 --> 01:04:50,970
Oh, it's now it's just fame and narcissism.

1857
01:04:51,130 --> 01:04:51,770
Oh, OK.

1858
01:04:52,230 --> 01:04:53,670
Quick little pivot there, Pivot.

1859
01:04:53,850 --> 01:04:56,790
To me, the calculus is not smart here.

1860
01:04:57,370 --> 01:04:59,050
That's the name of the show, Pivot.

1861
01:04:59,290 --> 01:05:00,130
You nailed it.

1862
01:05:00,170 --> 01:05:00,510
Yes.

1863
01:05:00,870 --> 01:05:01,510
That's what they do.

1864
01:05:01,550 --> 01:05:03,130
They just keep changing their whatever.

1865
01:05:03,130 --> 01:05:05,330
They've just pivot at the top of the

1866
01:05:05,330 --> 01:05:05,530
hat.

1867
01:05:05,730 --> 01:05:07,390
Calculus is wrong here.

1868
01:05:07,690 --> 01:05:09,550
How about and I am not an Elon

1869
01:05:09,550 --> 01:05:11,810
Musk fan, but how about he might be

1870
01:05:11,810 --> 01:05:12,890
sincere about it?

1871
01:05:13,070 --> 01:05:14,770
Is it possible?

1872
01:05:14,870 --> 01:05:16,110
He seems sincere to me.

1873
01:05:16,210 --> 01:05:16,670
I don't know.

1874
01:05:16,770 --> 01:05:19,750
Is it possible that this foreigner who became

1875
01:05:19,750 --> 01:05:21,970
an American, that maybe he means it?

1876
01:05:22,110 --> 01:05:22,870
I don't know.

1877
01:05:23,090 --> 01:05:26,350
Become a brand that means has some very

1878
01:05:26,350 --> 01:05:27,810
negative brand associations.

1879
01:05:28,130 --> 01:05:29,490
I think that too.

1880
01:05:29,550 --> 01:05:30,810
I think people who are buying it are

1881
01:05:30,810 --> 01:05:31,750
repulsed by it.

1882
01:05:31,750 --> 01:05:33,090
They're repulsed.

1883
01:05:33,190 --> 01:05:33,810
I got to buy it.

1884
01:05:33,870 --> 01:05:35,130
I'm throwing up, but I still have to

1885
01:05:35,130 --> 01:05:35,610
buy it.

1886
01:05:37,050 --> 01:05:42,750
Of course, the people who are not all.

1887
01:05:42,970 --> 01:05:43,790
I'm going to stop you.

1888
01:05:44,030 --> 01:05:46,110
Nothing like that's going on around here.

1889
01:05:46,870 --> 01:05:47,310
In California.

1890
01:05:47,310 --> 01:05:48,310
I'm in California.

1891
01:05:48,630 --> 01:05:49,470
Tesla land.

1892
01:05:51,310 --> 01:05:52,670
There's nothing like that.

1893
01:05:52,790 --> 01:05:53,210
Interesting.

1894
01:05:53,390 --> 01:05:53,930
It's all out.

1895
01:05:54,050 --> 01:05:56,230
It's there's been a couple of showboaters down

1896
01:05:56,230 --> 01:05:59,290
in Southern California, some actors or something down

1897
01:05:59,290 --> 01:05:59,470
there.

1898
01:05:59,470 --> 01:06:01,350
I'm talking about around here, Bay Area, which

1899
01:06:01,350 --> 01:06:03,130
is very liberal.

1900
01:06:04,050 --> 01:06:06,690
There has been no discussion of anything.

1901
01:06:06,910 --> 01:06:08,690
There's Tesla's all over the fucking place.

1902
01:06:08,850 --> 01:06:09,390
Oh, I'm sorry.

1903
01:06:09,550 --> 01:06:10,170
I said that.

1904
01:06:11,170 --> 01:06:11,610
Why?

1905
01:06:12,430 --> 01:06:13,450
Because I'm listening to those.

1906
01:06:13,990 --> 01:06:15,010
Rots your brain.

1907
01:06:15,390 --> 01:06:15,770
It's contagious.

1908
01:06:16,090 --> 01:06:18,950
Tesla's all over the place and there's nobody

1909
01:06:18,950 --> 01:06:21,690
that's got the stickers on or there's nobody

1910
01:06:21,690 --> 01:06:22,470
painting on it.

1911
01:06:22,510 --> 01:06:24,450
No, nothing like that's going to nobody's.

1912
01:06:25,170 --> 01:06:27,310
Torch the Tesla dealership.

1913
01:06:27,310 --> 01:06:30,490
So, of course, people who do not live

1914
01:06:30,490 --> 01:06:35,150
under a dark cloud of spiritual horridness make

1915
01:06:35,150 --> 01:06:37,330
make funny make funny memes.

1916
01:06:38,250 --> 01:06:40,230
Going on now with the White House Tesla

1917
01:06:40,230 --> 01:06:40,810
Auto Mall.

1918
01:06:40,950 --> 01:06:42,490
It's the biggest sale of the year.

1919
01:06:42,550 --> 01:06:42,990
It's safe.

1920
01:06:43,130 --> 01:06:44,350
It's very strong, heavy.

1921
01:06:44,750 --> 01:06:46,070
It's all steel stainless steel.

1922
01:06:46,130 --> 01:06:48,270
Come on down to Pennsylvania Avenue just off

1923
01:06:48,270 --> 01:06:50,370
Route 29 to get our best deal ever

1924
01:06:50,370 --> 01:06:51,470
on a brand new Tesla.

1925
01:06:51,670 --> 01:06:53,190
I want to make a good deal here.

1926
01:06:53,190 --> 01:06:56,690
They have one which is thirty five thousand

1927
01:06:56,690 --> 01:06:58,030
dollars, which is pretty low.

1928
01:06:58,170 --> 01:06:59,690
Get a model one with a different panel

1929
01:06:59,690 --> 01:07:01,030
and everything's computer.

1930
01:07:01,190 --> 01:07:03,950
This is a different panel that everything's computer.

1931
01:07:04,210 --> 01:07:06,050
So don't waste your time going to those

1932
01:07:06,050 --> 01:07:09,530
other Tesla dealerships with riots and flaming cyber

1933
01:07:09,530 --> 01:07:10,030
trucks.

1934
01:07:10,330 --> 01:07:11,710
You've got to come down to White House

1935
01:07:11,710 --> 01:07:12,850
Tesla Auto Mall.

1936
01:07:13,070 --> 01:07:13,870
I love Tesla.

1937
01:07:14,270 --> 01:07:15,630
You've got to come down to White House

1938
01:07:15,630 --> 01:07:16,910
Tesla Auto Mall.

1939
01:07:16,990 --> 01:07:18,050
This is really amazing.

1940
01:07:20,190 --> 01:07:23,050
I love that Tesla Tesla.

1941
01:07:23,130 --> 01:07:25,890
So my so, you know, of course, Biden

1942
01:07:25,890 --> 01:07:27,790
did the same thing with the Jeep Cherokee.

1943
01:07:27,870 --> 01:07:30,230
So it was early and the Corvette and

1944
01:07:30,230 --> 01:07:30,950
the Corvette.

1945
01:07:31,290 --> 01:07:33,970
No, but he was actually promoting the Jeep.

1946
01:07:34,230 --> 01:07:36,910
No, drove it, drove it in parked in

1947
01:07:36,910 --> 01:07:37,170
front.

1948
01:07:37,470 --> 01:07:38,530
He actually drove it.

1949
01:07:38,770 --> 01:07:39,990
Trump won't drive.

1950
01:07:40,510 --> 01:07:40,710
Yeah.

1951
01:07:42,090 --> 01:07:43,490
No, Trump's losses.

1952
01:07:44,070 --> 01:07:45,470
I don't think you can drive anymore.

1953
01:07:45,470 --> 01:07:47,890
I don't think he's driven for probably 20,

1954
01:07:48,050 --> 01:07:48,610
30 years.

1955
01:07:49,430 --> 01:07:50,150
Maybe not.

1956
01:07:50,550 --> 01:07:51,190
Why would you?

1957
01:07:51,810 --> 01:07:52,810
I don't like it either.

1958
01:07:53,130 --> 01:07:53,750
I got to.

1959
01:07:53,970 --> 01:07:54,890
I love driving.

1960
01:07:54,950 --> 01:07:56,110
I'm a California boy.

1961
01:07:56,270 --> 01:07:58,350
Yeah, yeah, you are.

1962
01:07:59,010 --> 01:08:02,590
Well, speaking of the past, this whole waste,

1963
01:08:02,790 --> 01:08:03,750
fraud and abuse.

1964
01:08:05,070 --> 01:08:06,670
This is nothing new.

1965
01:08:07,270 --> 01:08:08,990
This is really nothing new.

1966
01:08:09,590 --> 01:08:12,830
And here's a little mini cut 2008 to

1967
01:08:12,830 --> 01:08:13,570
2010.

1968
01:08:14,330 --> 01:08:19,430
We simply must make the cuts and waste,

1969
01:08:19,590 --> 01:08:21,029
fraud and abuse in Medicare.

1970
01:08:21,330 --> 01:08:22,670
We owe it to our country.

1971
01:08:23,090 --> 01:08:26,029
There is an enormous amount of waste and

1972
01:08:26,029 --> 01:08:28,170
fraud and abuse in this government.

1973
01:08:28,370 --> 01:08:33,950
When there is waste and fraud, you have

1974
01:08:33,950 --> 01:08:38,450
an administration who should also be on top

1975
01:08:38,450 --> 01:08:40,069
of that situation.

1976
01:08:40,069 --> 01:08:42,649
If we're going to eliminate the waste, fraud

1977
01:08:42,649 --> 01:08:45,529
and abuse in Medicare, it does mean we're

1978
01:08:45,529 --> 01:08:46,729
going to cut some of that out.

1979
01:08:46,990 --> 01:08:48,510
We want to cut the bad stuff and

1980
01:08:48,510 --> 01:08:49,450
keep the good stuff.

1981
01:08:49,630 --> 01:08:49,790
Yeah.

1982
01:08:50,029 --> 01:08:50,470
Okay.

1983
01:08:50,710 --> 01:08:51,729
But now that it's Trump.

1984
01:08:53,350 --> 01:08:54,630
Everybody hair on fire.

1985
01:08:54,870 --> 01:08:56,950
Yes, that particular clip and more.

1986
01:08:57,189 --> 01:08:57,850
You can probably.

1987
01:08:58,149 --> 01:08:59,029
Oh, much more.

1988
01:08:59,270 --> 01:08:59,890
There's much more.

1989
01:08:59,950 --> 01:09:04,410
There's the forklift trucks that Clinton and Gore

1990
01:09:04,410 --> 01:09:05,090
brought out.

1991
01:09:05,290 --> 01:09:06,649
Yeah, the paperwork.

1992
01:09:06,910 --> 01:09:07,350
Yes.

1993
01:09:07,529 --> 01:09:08,010
Yeah, I remember.

1994
01:09:08,450 --> 01:09:09,649
They're going to eliminate this.

1995
01:09:09,649 --> 01:09:10,390
They're going to eliminate that.

1996
01:09:10,450 --> 01:09:11,569
This has been going on forever.

1997
01:09:11,729 --> 01:09:13,810
And then Trump actually is doing some things.

1998
01:09:14,290 --> 01:09:16,609
I'm not seeing any real evidence of this

1999
01:09:16,609 --> 01:09:16,930
either.

2000
01:09:17,310 --> 01:09:18,649
This could be the same as the rest

2001
01:09:18,649 --> 01:09:19,069
of them.

2002
01:09:19,649 --> 01:09:22,550
Although they're digging up more and more scummy

2003
01:09:22,550 --> 01:09:23,229
ideas.

2004
01:09:23,470 --> 01:09:24,430
You know, now there's a.

2005
01:09:25,270 --> 01:09:28,630
So during 404 media came out with an

2006
01:09:28,630 --> 01:09:31,870
interesting article about how those French universities are

2007
01:09:31,870 --> 01:09:34,149
welcoming American researchers.

2008
01:09:34,710 --> 01:09:36,810
We have a brain drain because the researchers

2009
01:09:36,810 --> 01:09:38,090
are all going to France.

2010
01:09:38,310 --> 01:09:38,529
Yeah.

2011
01:09:38,529 --> 01:09:41,350
So they can research their transgender stuff.

2012
01:09:42,189 --> 01:09:43,910
Well, by the way, which reminds me, you

2013
01:09:43,910 --> 01:09:45,770
know, Sean Hannity's transgender.

2014
01:09:46,569 --> 01:09:46,669
What?

2015
01:09:47,510 --> 01:09:47,950
Yeah.

2016
01:09:48,569 --> 01:09:49,010
No.

2017
01:09:49,729 --> 01:09:50,649
Well, listen to this clip.

2018
01:09:50,710 --> 01:09:51,569
You tell me.

2019
01:09:51,950 --> 01:09:53,550
Hold on a second.

2020
01:09:55,370 --> 01:09:56,230
Where am I?

2021
01:09:56,290 --> 01:09:57,010
Where am I looking?

2022
01:09:57,130 --> 01:09:57,950
Under Sean.

2023
01:09:58,110 --> 01:09:59,150
S E A N.

2024
01:09:59,450 --> 01:10:00,310
Oh, okay.

2025
01:10:00,850 --> 01:10:04,090
The Democrats are going to show up with

2026
01:10:04,090 --> 01:10:05,230
the little bingo paddles.

2027
01:10:05,510 --> 01:10:06,710
They won't stand for mothers.

2028
01:10:06,710 --> 01:10:07,710
It was embarrassing.

2029
01:10:08,250 --> 01:10:10,090
Or a 12 year old young man that

2030
01:10:10,090 --> 01:10:11,790
beat his battle with cancer.

2031
01:10:12,230 --> 01:10:14,470
What a great number or the wife of

2032
01:10:14,470 --> 01:10:15,410
an officer.

2033
01:10:15,890 --> 01:10:16,210
All right.

2034
01:10:16,270 --> 01:10:17,710
So they got their bingo paddles.

2035
01:10:17,870 --> 01:10:19,750
They won't even stand for working men and

2036
01:10:19,750 --> 01:10:19,970
women.

2037
01:10:20,470 --> 01:10:23,210
No tax on tips, social security, no tax

2038
01:10:23,210 --> 01:10:23,750
on overtime.

2039
01:10:24,150 --> 01:10:26,490
I used to be a working man and

2040
01:10:26,490 --> 01:10:27,370
woman, if you will.

2041
01:10:29,150 --> 01:10:29,670
Wow.

2042
01:10:31,870 --> 01:10:32,690
That's right.

2043
01:10:33,030 --> 01:10:33,630
It's obvious.

2044
01:10:33,750 --> 01:10:35,470
Well, she's proof proof.

2045
01:10:35,470 --> 01:10:37,030
Republicans love trans.

2046
01:10:37,170 --> 01:10:37,850
There's no problem.

2047
01:10:38,910 --> 01:10:42,830
So besides bond yields going down, besides inflation,

2048
01:10:42,990 --> 01:10:44,650
I'll just call it ticking down.

2049
01:10:45,190 --> 01:10:47,970
This was a somewhat hidden report that I

2050
01:10:47,970 --> 01:10:49,030
found on NPR.

2051
01:10:49,270 --> 01:10:51,930
The deadliest phase of the fentanyl crisis appears

2052
01:10:51,930 --> 01:10:53,970
to be over in the United States.

2053
01:10:54,050 --> 01:10:57,950
Anyway, new research shows fatal overdoses from fentanyl

2054
01:10:57,950 --> 01:10:59,890
and other street drugs are dropping from their

2055
01:10:59,890 --> 01:11:01,670
peak in all 50 states.

2056
01:11:01,930 --> 01:11:03,050
Here's NPR's Brian Mann.

2057
01:11:03,050 --> 01:11:05,450
We never understood this team at the University

2058
01:11:05,450 --> 01:11:08,150
of North Carolina finished their new analysis of

2059
01:11:08,150 --> 01:11:08,890
drug death data.

2060
01:11:09,490 --> 01:11:12,370
They found a positive trend that seemed inconceivable

2061
01:11:12,370 --> 01:11:13,170
a year ago.

2062
01:11:13,570 --> 01:11:15,870
We are on track to return to levels

2063
01:11:15,870 --> 01:11:18,190
of overdose before fentanyl emerged.

2064
01:11:18,470 --> 01:11:20,810
Drug deaths tracked nationwide by the Centers for

2065
01:11:20,810 --> 01:11:24,150
Disease Control and Prevention have already plunged 24

2066
01:11:24,150 --> 01:11:25,610
percent from peak levels.

2067
01:11:25,830 --> 01:11:28,330
Every state has now seen improvement, with many

2068
01:11:28,330 --> 01:11:31,910
states improving by 30, 40, even 50 percent.

2069
01:11:31,910 --> 01:11:34,770
Dasgupta says the number of lives being saved

2070
01:11:34,770 --> 01:11:36,010
left him stunned.

2071
01:11:36,350 --> 01:11:39,950
It has been a complete shock, the numbers

2072
01:11:39,950 --> 01:11:41,970
declining in the way that they have been.

2073
01:11:42,270 --> 01:11:45,430
I thought it's even hard to talk about

2074
01:11:45,430 --> 01:11:48,630
because it's after all this time looking at

2075
01:11:48,630 --> 01:11:49,630
overdose deaths.

2076
01:11:49,930 --> 01:11:51,570
This is what we have been hoping for.

2077
01:11:52,150 --> 01:11:54,650
This was not a big news story.

2078
01:11:55,770 --> 01:11:57,330
No, because it makes Trump look good.

2079
01:11:57,790 --> 01:11:58,890
I mean, I don't know if it's because

2080
01:11:58,890 --> 01:12:00,670
of his policies, but.

2081
01:12:00,670 --> 01:12:04,130
Well, it's also that somebody else discussed it.

2082
01:12:04,190 --> 01:12:06,530
I've heard this being discussed in some one

2083
01:12:06,530 --> 01:12:08,790
point that was made is that.

2084
01:12:09,450 --> 01:12:11,530
A lot of fentanyl that the people are

2085
01:12:11,530 --> 01:12:12,990
going to die of fentanyl died.

2086
01:12:13,690 --> 01:12:14,810
Oh, well, there's not.

2087
01:12:15,790 --> 01:12:17,050
They're all dead.

2088
01:12:17,230 --> 01:12:18,910
OK, well, you know, you start, you know,

2089
01:12:18,970 --> 01:12:21,710
yeah, you have to start killing off all

2090
01:12:21,710 --> 01:12:23,630
your customers and you kill most of them.

2091
01:12:23,890 --> 01:12:26,650
Yeah, it's just the kind of the languishing

2092
01:12:26,650 --> 01:12:28,410
ones are still dropping dead.

2093
01:12:28,470 --> 01:12:29,870
There's still too many dropping dead.

2094
01:12:29,870 --> 01:12:32,410
Yeah, but yeah, so the market is dead.

2095
01:12:33,830 --> 01:12:36,910
The literally dead customers do not did stats.

2096
01:12:37,270 --> 01:12:39,350
Yeah, we have to reflect the never made

2097
01:12:39,350 --> 01:12:39,910
any customers.

2098
01:12:40,250 --> 01:12:41,370
Never made any sense to me.

2099
01:12:41,430 --> 01:12:42,530
Those guys were selling that.

2100
01:12:43,290 --> 01:12:44,850
Well, speaking of Hannity.

2101
01:12:47,710 --> 01:12:50,490
RFK Jr. was on to talk about, you

2102
01:12:50,490 --> 01:12:52,410
know, the prices of eggs, but really about

2103
01:12:52,410 --> 01:12:53,210
the bird flu.

2104
01:12:54,630 --> 01:12:57,630
And it's there's all kinds of different noise

2105
01:12:57,630 --> 01:12:59,190
coming out of different directions.

2106
01:12:59,190 --> 01:13:01,090
But I'm going to listen to what RFK

2107
01:13:01,090 --> 01:13:02,990
Jr. says and hope that what he is

2108
01:13:02,990 --> 01:13:07,270
saying permeates through to Brooke, our our secretary

2109
01:13:07,270 --> 01:13:10,490
of agriculture and that people do some smart

2110
01:13:10,490 --> 01:13:11,070
things.

2111
01:13:11,210 --> 01:13:13,090
Let me ask you a concern.

2112
01:13:13,450 --> 01:13:14,570
And you inherited this.

2113
01:13:14,790 --> 01:13:18,530
President Trump inherited this is the avian flu,

2114
01:13:18,730 --> 01:13:22,370
which is impacting the cost of eggs and

2115
01:13:22,370 --> 01:13:24,190
chicken in the country.

2116
01:13:26,030 --> 01:13:28,630
What do you think needs to be done

2117
01:13:28,630 --> 01:13:30,190
to eradicate that?

2118
01:13:30,370 --> 01:13:31,990
And what do we do short term?

2119
01:13:32,070 --> 01:13:32,970
What do we do long term?

2120
01:13:33,030 --> 01:13:34,790
In other words, do we import eggs to

2121
01:13:34,790 --> 01:13:35,790
import chickens?

2122
01:13:35,930 --> 01:13:38,070
Do we do we have to wipe out

2123
01:13:38,070 --> 01:13:40,870
the population that might be infected by this?

2124
01:13:41,230 --> 01:13:45,270
No, we first of all, avian flu will

2125
01:13:45,270 --> 01:13:46,310
never be eradicated.

2126
01:13:47,150 --> 01:13:50,010
It is endemic in wild populations of birds,

2127
01:13:50,090 --> 01:13:50,970
particularly mallards.

2128
01:13:51,090 --> 01:13:53,850
And that's what infects the domestic flocks.

2129
01:13:54,790 --> 01:13:56,390
And so you'll never get rid of it.

2130
01:13:56,430 --> 01:13:58,690
And it doesn't appear to hurt wild birds.

2131
01:13:59,230 --> 01:14:00,890
They have some kind of immunity.

2132
01:14:02,050 --> 01:14:06,250
And the the strategy, the White House, we

2133
01:14:06,250 --> 01:14:08,950
all of my agencies have advised against vaccination

2134
01:14:08,950 --> 01:14:12,190
of birds, because if you vaccinate with a

2135
01:14:12,190 --> 01:14:14,910
leaky vaccine, in other words, a vaccine that

2136
01:14:14,910 --> 01:14:17,470
does not provide sterilizing immunity, that does not

2137
01:14:17,470 --> 01:14:21,330
absolutely protect against the disease, you turn those

2138
01:14:21,330 --> 01:14:25,170
flocks into mutation factories.

2139
01:14:25,410 --> 01:14:26,050
They're generating.

2140
01:14:26,210 --> 01:14:29,490
They're teaching the organism how to mutate.

2141
01:14:30,110 --> 01:14:32,230
And it's it destabilizes.

2142
01:14:32,370 --> 01:14:34,170
And it's much more likely to jump to

2143
01:14:34,170 --> 01:14:35,590
animals if you do that.

2144
01:14:36,250 --> 01:14:39,550
All my agency heads from NIH, CDC and

2145
01:14:39,550 --> 01:14:41,930
FDA had all said we should not be

2146
01:14:41,930 --> 01:14:42,450
vaccinating.

2147
01:14:42,490 --> 01:14:44,630
It's dangerous for human beings to vaccinate the

2148
01:14:44,630 --> 01:14:44,870
birds.

2149
01:14:45,130 --> 01:14:47,050
OK, do not vaccinate.

2150
01:14:47,050 --> 01:14:49,350
How about stop killing them?

2151
01:14:49,550 --> 01:14:50,450
The question is, should you?

2152
01:14:50,590 --> 01:14:52,970
McCullough would be in total agreement with this.

2153
01:14:53,330 --> 01:14:55,390
The question is, should you call those flocks?

2154
01:14:56,650 --> 01:14:59,170
Most of our scientists are against the culling

2155
01:14:59,170 --> 01:14:59,690
operation.

2156
01:15:00,230 --> 01:15:03,010
They think that we should be testing therapeutics

2157
01:15:03,010 --> 01:15:03,810
on those flocks.

2158
01:15:04,650 --> 01:15:05,990
They should isolate them.

2159
01:15:06,210 --> 01:15:07,730
You should let the disease go through them

2160
01:15:07,730 --> 01:15:10,930
and identify the birds that survive, which are

2161
01:15:10,930 --> 01:15:14,150
the birds that probably have a genetic genetic

2162
01:15:14,150 --> 01:15:15,670
inclination for immunity.

2163
01:15:15,670 --> 01:15:17,270
And those should be the birds that we

2164
01:15:17,270 --> 01:15:18,770
breed like the wild population.

2165
01:15:20,190 --> 01:15:22,690
Right now, the White House's strategy is to

2166
01:15:22,690 --> 01:15:26,470
repopulate those farms that have been depopulated.

2167
01:15:26,650 --> 01:15:30,390
We've killed one hundred and sixty six million

2168
01:15:30,390 --> 01:15:31,370
chickens.

2169
01:15:31,770 --> 01:15:33,350
That's why we have an egg crisis.

2170
01:15:34,450 --> 01:15:39,110
And the disease is not passed through food.

2171
01:15:39,990 --> 01:15:41,230
So you cannot get it.

2172
01:15:41,230 --> 01:15:43,610
As far as we know, you cannot get

2173
01:15:43,610 --> 01:15:46,850
it from an egg or milk or meat

2174
01:15:46,850 --> 01:15:48,650
from an infected animal.

2175
01:15:49,190 --> 01:15:52,070
Man, someone with some sense talking finally.

2176
01:15:52,970 --> 01:15:53,550
Last clip.

2177
01:15:53,770 --> 01:15:54,770
What is the strategy?

2178
01:15:54,990 --> 01:15:58,370
The White House strategy now and Brooke Rollins,

2179
01:15:58,430 --> 01:16:00,610
who runs USDA, and I am all on

2180
01:16:00,610 --> 01:16:01,290
board with this.

2181
01:16:02,090 --> 01:16:06,670
We should armor the domestic populations to insulate

2182
01:16:06,670 --> 01:16:08,210
them from wild infiltration.

2183
01:16:08,930 --> 01:16:11,030
This is how these birds are getting infected.

2184
01:16:11,150 --> 01:16:13,050
A wild mallard, most of them are open

2185
01:16:13,050 --> 01:16:16,550
air or open air poultry farms.

2186
01:16:17,330 --> 01:16:19,430
Our mallard will fly in to eat some

2187
01:16:19,430 --> 01:16:21,950
of the corn and that infected mallard will

2188
01:16:21,950 --> 01:16:22,710
infect the flock.

2189
01:16:23,790 --> 01:16:25,910
And so I think that that is the

2190
01:16:25,910 --> 01:16:26,670
best strategy.

2191
01:16:27,130 --> 01:16:31,590
And then also to intensively test therapeutic drugs

2192
01:16:31,590 --> 01:16:34,710
on those flocks so that, for example, you

2193
01:16:34,710 --> 01:16:39,050
tell you you you put a therapy in

2194
01:16:39,050 --> 01:16:41,130
with on in half the population.

2195
01:16:41,510 --> 01:16:43,450
And if that half that is treated survives,

2196
01:16:43,950 --> 01:16:47,610
now you have a a drug that potentially

2197
01:16:47,610 --> 01:16:49,890
is useful in human beings to treat avian

2198
01:16:49,890 --> 01:16:50,090
flu.

2199
01:16:50,170 --> 01:16:51,190
That's what we should be doing.

2200
01:16:51,910 --> 01:16:54,570
OK, this sounds good.

2201
01:16:54,570 --> 01:16:57,090
And I believe egg prices are coming down.

2202
01:16:58,130 --> 01:17:01,330
At least that's what Carolyn Levitt told me

2203
01:17:01,330 --> 01:17:02,710
was coming down.

2204
01:17:03,390 --> 01:17:05,750
But then try and square this report from

2205
01:17:05,750 --> 01:17:09,650
CBS for me about an approved vaccine with,

2206
01:17:09,750 --> 01:17:11,590
of course, Dr. Celine Gounder.

2207
01:17:11,750 --> 01:17:14,030
The US Department of Agriculture has issued conditional

2208
01:17:14,030 --> 01:17:16,650
approval for a bird flu vaccine for use

2209
01:17:16,650 --> 01:17:17,330
in chickens.

2210
01:17:17,330 --> 01:17:20,510
The vaccine from manufacturer Zoetis is one of

2211
01:17:20,510 --> 01:17:22,770
multiple targeting bird flu in poultry.

2212
01:17:23,350 --> 01:17:25,330
According to the USDA, avian flu has been

2213
01:17:25,330 --> 01:17:28,490
confirmed in 146 flocks in the past month,

2214
01:17:28,890 --> 01:17:30,890
affecting more than 20 million birds.

2215
01:17:30,890 --> 01:17:33,850
Thirty four million egg laying hens have been

2216
01:17:33,850 --> 01:17:35,330
culled since December.

2217
01:17:35,930 --> 01:17:38,330
Not all those birds necessarily tested positive for

2218
01:17:38,330 --> 01:17:40,310
avian flu, but were members of a flock

2219
01:17:40,310 --> 01:17:42,910
where a case was confirmed among humans.

2220
01:17:42,930 --> 01:17:44,930
There have been at least 68 confirmed cases

2221
01:17:44,930 --> 01:17:46,190
of bird flu last year.

2222
01:17:46,310 --> 01:17:48,870
According to the CDC, one person has died

2223
01:17:48,870 --> 01:17:49,670
from the disease.

2224
01:17:50,070 --> 01:17:52,290
Over the weekend, Ohio's health department reported the

2225
01:17:52,290 --> 01:17:55,170
fourth case of a person being hospitalized for

2226
01:17:55,170 --> 01:17:55,750
bird flu.

2227
01:17:56,070 --> 01:17:59,810
So you see what they're doing?

2228
01:18:00,370 --> 01:18:02,890
They're like that guy on X who keeps

2229
01:18:02,890 --> 01:18:06,970
retweeting his engagement farming us about the avian

2230
01:18:06,970 --> 01:18:07,250
flu.

2231
01:18:07,390 --> 01:18:10,390
Oh, oh, it's going to cross over into

2232
01:18:10,390 --> 01:18:11,070
humans, John.

2233
01:18:11,150 --> 01:18:12,230
They would cross over to humans.

2234
01:18:12,490 --> 01:18:13,370
You know what's going to happen?

2235
01:18:15,540 --> 01:18:15,880
What?

2236
01:18:16,220 --> 01:18:16,860
Pandemic, baby.

2237
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:19,780
CBS News medical contributor Dr. Celine Gounder joins

2238
01:18:19,780 --> 01:18:20,320
us on set.

2239
01:18:20,420 --> 01:18:22,100
She's also the editor at large for public

2240
01:18:22,100 --> 01:18:23,640
health at KFF Health News.

2241
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:25,540
So we've been talking about bird flu for

2242
01:18:25,540 --> 01:18:26,180
quite a bit.

2243
01:18:26,260 --> 01:18:27,780
I mean, is now the time when people

2244
01:18:27,780 --> 01:18:30,240
really need to start paying attention with the

2245
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:31,420
number of cases that we have?

2246
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,080
I mean, those are pretty extraordinary numbers.

2247
01:18:33,100 --> 01:18:33,460
Oh, yes.

2248
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,860
Pay attention to put this into context.

2249
01:18:36,020 --> 01:18:37,800
It would be helpful for people to understand

2250
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,540
how a pandemic bird flu emerges.

2251
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:42,440
So the bird flu, we have we ever

2252
01:18:42,440 --> 01:18:44,200
had a pandemic of bird flu?

2253
01:18:45,100 --> 01:18:47,020
No, well, but this is how we know

2254
01:18:47,020 --> 01:18:47,700
how it emerges.

2255
01:18:47,780 --> 01:18:49,320
She makes it sound like we had one.

2256
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:50,500
Oh, yeah, it's all scary.

2257
01:18:50,660 --> 01:18:51,100
Pay attention.

2258
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:53,460
People can infect birds as well as mammals,

2259
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:55,680
which include pigs, cattle and cats.

2260
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,300
People can get infected with the bird flu

2261
01:18:58,300 --> 01:19:00,640
when they come into close contact with infected

2262
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:01,160
animals.

2263
01:19:01,580 --> 01:19:03,620
So farmworkers, for example, are high risk for

2264
01:19:03,620 --> 01:19:04,040
infection.

2265
01:19:04,580 --> 01:19:06,700
At the same time, people can get can

2266
01:19:06,700 --> 01:19:09,300
get infected with the regular human flu during

2267
01:19:09,300 --> 01:19:10,260
winter flu season.

2268
01:19:10,500 --> 01:19:13,280
A person could get infected with both the

2269
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:14,880
human flu and the bird flu.

2270
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:16,080
At the end, you know what that happens?

2271
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:17,300
It'll mix up in your body.

2272
01:19:17,380 --> 01:19:17,840
Same time.

2273
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:18,460
Mix them up.

2274
01:19:18,580 --> 01:19:18,940
Yeah.

2275
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,060
Especially if, say, they're a farm worker or

2276
01:19:21,060 --> 01:19:23,040
someone else who comes into close contact with

2277
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:23,880
infected animals.

2278
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,540
So now the flu virus is made up

2279
01:19:26,540 --> 01:19:29,240
of eight different pieces of genetic material.

2280
01:19:29,260 --> 01:19:31,740
When you have different flu strains infect a

2281
01:19:31,740 --> 01:19:33,940
person or another animal at the same time,

2282
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,760
those flu strains can swap parts.

2283
01:19:37,220 --> 01:19:39,300
And that's how you make a new hybrid

2284
01:19:39,300 --> 01:19:40,020
flu strain.

2285
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,860
These new hybrid flu strains can be especially

2286
01:19:42,860 --> 01:19:44,480
dangerous because now you can get the human

2287
01:19:44,480 --> 01:19:47,200
to human spread and that can spark a

2288
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:47,580
pandemic.

2289
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:51,840
They just keep trying this over and over

2290
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:52,560
again.

2291
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:55,580
And our CBS girl is going to put

2292
01:19:55,580 --> 01:19:56,280
a name to it.

2293
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:57,160
When he's a horror movie.

2294
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:58,380
I mean, that is terrifying.

2295
01:19:58,420 --> 01:19:59,460
It's Frankenstein, right?

2296
01:19:59,540 --> 01:20:01,280
You know, that's how you get these super

2297
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:02,860
scary Frankenstein flus.

2298
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,600
The super scary Frankenstein flus, John.

2299
01:20:07,740 --> 01:20:09,760
What is wrong with these people?

2300
01:20:12,140 --> 01:20:14,400
This ends the minute they stop.

2301
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:17,560
Pharmaceutical advertising on television.

2302
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:19,300
Yeah, you it has to come to an

2303
01:20:19,300 --> 01:20:19,420
end.

2304
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:19,780
You're right.

2305
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:21,840
They're starting to advertise the weirdest stuff now

2306
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:23,180
because you can tell they're panicking.

2307
01:20:23,500 --> 01:20:23,600
Yeah.

2308
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,740
And I mean, there's stuff being advertised that

2309
01:20:26,740 --> 01:20:28,600
just basically at the end they say, and

2310
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:29,840
by the way, if you take this drug,

2311
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:30,840
it will kill you.

2312
01:20:31,940 --> 01:20:33,360
Side effect is death.

2313
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:37,680
This has got to end because this is

2314
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:39,600
what the influence comes from.

2315
01:20:39,940 --> 01:20:40,960
This is where it comes from.

2316
01:20:41,440 --> 01:20:41,600
Yeah.

2317
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,060
The pharmaceutical influence comes from the fact that

2318
01:20:44,060 --> 01:20:45,180
they own the media.

2319
01:20:45,420 --> 01:20:45,560
Yeah.

2320
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:46,960
They have to do these reports.

2321
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:48,600
It's part of the deal.

2322
01:20:48,660 --> 01:20:49,540
Part of the contract.

2323
01:20:50,380 --> 01:20:52,320
And of course, they're still on the measles,

2324
01:20:53,860 --> 01:20:56,420
you know, which is all connected to RFK

2325
01:20:56,420 --> 01:20:58,780
Jr. And autism.

2326
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:04,600
This is the Mennonites, you know, it's all

2327
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:05,800
the Mennonites fault.

2328
01:21:06,180 --> 01:21:06,660
The Mennonites.

2329
01:21:06,860 --> 01:21:07,160
Those bastards.

2330
01:21:07,540 --> 01:21:09,520
And I heard from the oil barons.

2331
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:11,300
You can cuss out the Mennonites and they're

2332
01:21:11,300 --> 01:21:12,980
not hearing it because they don't listen to

2333
01:21:12,980 --> 01:21:13,440
the radio.

2334
01:21:13,460 --> 01:21:14,060
Yes, they do.

2335
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:14,740
Or the podcast.

2336
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:15,940
They're not Amish.

2337
01:21:17,300 --> 01:21:18,220
They're pretty much.

2338
01:21:18,340 --> 01:21:19,420
No, no, no.

2339
01:21:19,540 --> 01:21:21,300
In fact, I heard from the oil baron.

2340
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,620
He says if you want hard working people,

2341
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:25,540
you want the Mennonites and they make great

2342
01:21:25,540 --> 01:21:26,040
furniture.

2343
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:27,900
So the Amish.

2344
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,460
Yeah, but I don't think the Mennonites.

2345
01:21:30,580 --> 01:21:33,360
Well, here's CNN had a report on the

2346
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:35,000
Mennonites, who, as you know, are to blame

2347
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:35,900
for all of this.

2348
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:38,860
The epicenter of the measles outbreak is rural

2349
01:21:38,860 --> 01:21:39,900
Gaines County.

2350
01:21:40,180 --> 01:21:40,840
Why here?

2351
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,720
Why a British guy in rural Gaines County?

2352
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:45,460
I don't understand.

2353
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:47,680
But why am I shouting?

2354
01:21:48,480 --> 01:21:48,980
Why not?

2355
01:21:48,980 --> 01:21:50,940
Is this coming from the Mennonite community?

2356
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:54,480
That's the biggest cohort of the population that

2357
01:21:54,480 --> 01:21:55,320
is unvaccinated.

2358
01:21:55,540 --> 01:21:58,120
And so the predominant people that are we're

2359
01:21:58,120 --> 01:21:59,680
seeing with it are in the Mennonite community.

2360
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:01,200
But it's not only them.

2361
01:22:03,500 --> 01:22:06,260
The Mennonites are Anabaptists who farmed around here

2362
01:22:06,260 --> 01:22:07,760
since the 1970s.

2363
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:10,880
Tina Siemens runs a museum.

2364
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:14,020
It literally goes back to the 1500s back

2365
01:22:14,020 --> 01:22:14,620
in Germany.

2366
01:22:14,620 --> 01:22:18,060
Charting her people's centuries long flight from religious

2367
01:22:18,060 --> 01:22:20,760
persecution and their time here in Texas.

2368
01:22:23,060 --> 01:22:27,940
She's now translating health department offers of vaccines.

2369
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:33,020
No one will be turned away if they

2370
01:22:33,020 --> 01:22:34,880
cannot meet the payment.

2371
01:22:35,420 --> 01:22:37,660
But that's falling on some deaf ears.

2372
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:40,920
Older Mennonites like Tina had to get the

2373
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,160
vaccine to get American citizenship after immigrating here.

2374
01:22:44,420 --> 01:22:47,080
But now the younger generation is choosing not

2375
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:47,760
to vaccinate.

2376
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:51,800
Because they have the capability of educating themselves.

2377
01:22:51,980 --> 01:22:55,820
So this is not a blind religious belief.

2378
01:22:55,980 --> 01:22:58,940
This is an educated, whether it's right or

2379
01:22:58,940 --> 01:23:01,200
wrong, this is an educated choice.

2380
01:23:01,380 --> 01:23:01,860
Absolutely.

2381
01:23:02,180 --> 01:23:05,020
But is in line with centuries of Mennonite

2382
01:23:05,020 --> 01:23:07,180
tradition, self-sufficiency.

2383
01:23:07,620 --> 01:23:09,860
They have been self-sustaining.

2384
01:23:09,860 --> 01:23:13,100
They did not go to the local doctor

2385
01:23:13,100 --> 01:23:15,160
for everything because they had a home remedy.

2386
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:16,540
Exactly.

2387
01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:21,140
It's not even a religious thing.

2388
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:23,360
They just always say Mennonites.

2389
01:23:23,500 --> 01:23:27,320
Oh, must be crazy, Christian, Baptist, Nationalist, white,

2390
01:23:27,440 --> 01:23:28,960
Nazis, Trump lovers.

2391
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:30,500
White, Nationalist, Christian, Nationalist.

2392
01:23:30,500 --> 01:23:31,080
They're no good.

2393
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:31,780
They're no good.

2394
01:23:31,820 --> 01:23:34,460
She feels her people are being scapegoated while

2395
01:23:34,460 --> 01:23:37,580
others around here also refuse the vaccine.

2396
01:23:37,580 --> 01:23:40,860
Across Gaines County, more than 17% of

2397
01:23:40,860 --> 01:23:43,040
kids in public schools have a so-called

2398
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:44,680
conscientious exemption.

2399
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:46,940
So don't need to be vaccinated.

2400
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:50,320
That's according to the latest state figures and

2401
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:52,580
is among the highest in the state, which

2402
01:23:52,580 --> 01:23:55,840
is just one of 16 states that allows

2403
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:56,240
that.

2404
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,720
There are hesitants among the non-Mennonites.

2405
01:23:59,980 --> 01:24:01,920
I think COVID did bring a lot of

2406
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:03,040
distrust to the public.

2407
01:24:03,180 --> 01:24:05,320
And it certainly didn't help us with already

2408
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:08,220
people having distrust of the health care system.

2409
01:24:08,820 --> 01:24:09,620
Because they lied?

2410
01:24:10,380 --> 01:24:11,180
Yeah, probably.

2411
01:24:11,940 --> 01:24:13,740
So this, of course, has to be a

2412
01:24:13,740 --> 01:24:14,160
parade.

2413
01:24:14,440 --> 01:24:16,560
We have to have, we have to come

2414
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:18,880
back and say, no, no, no, no, no,

2415
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:19,440
no, no.

2416
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:20,640
Vaccines are good.

2417
01:24:20,740 --> 01:24:21,280
And you know what?

2418
01:24:21,300 --> 01:24:22,800
They do not cause vaccines.

2419
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:26,220
They do not, do not cause autism.

2420
01:24:26,420 --> 01:24:27,720
I don't care what you say.

2421
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:30,040
They cannot be responsible for autism.

2422
01:24:30,380 --> 01:24:32,740
And if anyone knows this for sure, it's

2423
01:24:32,740 --> 01:24:33,400
HOTEP.

2424
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:35,960
Joining us now, Dr. Peter Hotez, director of

2425
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,520
the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children's

2426
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:38,900
Hospital.

2427
01:24:39,540 --> 01:24:40,820
Doctor, so good to see you.

2428
01:24:40,900 --> 01:24:43,320
False claims that vaccines are good for autism

2429
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:43,700
aren't.

2430
01:24:44,180 --> 01:24:45,000
Hold on.

2431
01:24:45,500 --> 01:24:47,800
This guy reminds me as he's getting, he's

2432
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:49,980
getting, it's like it's effect, you know, his,

2433
01:24:50,100 --> 01:24:51,980
I don't know if you want to, if

2434
01:24:51,980 --> 01:24:53,800
he's overtly lying, he knows he's lying.

2435
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:55,700
I don't know what he's up to, but

2436
01:24:55,700 --> 01:24:59,000
he's, he's, he's disfiguring himself.

2437
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:01,660
He's starting to look like the, in the

2438
01:25:01,660 --> 01:25:04,860
first, uh, uh, men in black or D

2439
01:25:04,860 --> 01:25:07,820
'Onofrio because inherited a bug got into him

2440
01:25:07,820 --> 01:25:09,480
and became, he became the bug.

2441
01:25:10,580 --> 01:25:12,940
He's all twisted and weird looking.

2442
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:16,580
That's what this guy's slowing, slowly turning into.

2443
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:18,360
He's looking weirder and weirder.

2444
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:18,800
Yeah.

2445
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:20,320
And his head will split open and then

2446
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:21,360
the bug comes out.

2447
01:25:21,540 --> 01:25:22,540
The bug come out.

2448
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:24,040
As long as we catch it on video,

2449
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:25,140
it's okay with me.

2450
01:25:25,940 --> 01:25:27,500
Maybe I was talking to Joe about him.

2451
01:25:27,500 --> 01:25:28,820
I think Joe had him on the show.

2452
01:25:28,900 --> 01:25:29,780
We must've missed that.

2453
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:32,620
And Joe was like, this guy is the

2454
01:25:32,620 --> 01:25:33,480
most unhealthy.

2455
01:25:33,660 --> 01:25:35,800
He eats crap, eats fast food.

2456
01:25:35,940 --> 01:25:38,440
He's grossly overweight, which you can't see because

2457
01:25:38,440 --> 01:25:39,460
he's always sitting down.

2458
01:25:39,660 --> 01:25:41,120
Yet this is the guy that's going to

2459
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:42,940
tell us that to be healthy, you need

2460
01:25:42,940 --> 01:25:43,520
a shot.

2461
01:25:45,740 --> 01:25:48,100
But whatever, whatever you think, I don't care

2462
01:25:48,100 --> 01:25:48,920
what it is.

2463
01:25:49,340 --> 01:25:51,760
It's not vaccines that cause autism.

2464
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:53,200
Doctor, so good to see you.

2465
01:25:53,300 --> 01:25:55,680
False claims that vaccines are linked to autism

2466
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:56,800
aren't new.

2467
01:25:57,500 --> 01:25:59,500
This is debunked years ago.

2468
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:00,300
Debunked!

2469
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:00,800
2018.

2470
01:26:01,100 --> 01:26:03,280
You published a book about your own daughter,

2471
01:26:03,420 --> 01:26:06,180
Rachel's autism debunking this link.

2472
01:26:06,740 --> 01:26:08,260
Do you see any value in the CDC

2473
01:26:08,260 --> 01:26:09,520
looking into this?

2474
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:11,220
Wait, wait, stop.

2475
01:26:12,100 --> 01:26:15,220
His daughter, Rachel has autism?

2476
01:26:15,440 --> 01:26:15,700
Yep.

2477
01:26:16,300 --> 01:26:17,920
And that somehow debunks?

2478
01:26:18,220 --> 01:26:18,600
Yes.

2479
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:21,660
Because you know, she was shot up like

2480
01:26:21,660 --> 01:26:22,800
no tomorrow.

2481
01:26:23,060 --> 01:26:23,320
Oh yeah.

2482
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,720
Well, wait until you hear his explanation of

2483
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:26,800
what it really is.

2484
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:28,340
What do you think it could be?

2485
01:26:29,100 --> 01:26:31,460
We've had an incredible increase in autism.

2486
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:36,720
Of course, correlation is not causation, but it

2487
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:39,100
did kind of happen with the increase of

2488
01:26:39,100 --> 01:26:42,660
childhood vaccines, the schedule, up to 70 now.

2489
01:26:42,660 --> 01:26:43,920
Yeah, it went from like five or six

2490
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:44,500
to 80.

2491
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:45,320
To 70.

2492
01:26:45,440 --> 01:26:46,140
I think it's 70.

2493
01:26:46,580 --> 01:26:47,300
I think it's 85.

2494
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:49,040
Okay, I'm not going to argue.

2495
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,860
About your own daughter, Rachel's autism debunking this

2496
01:26:52,860 --> 01:26:53,260
link.

2497
01:26:53,260 --> 01:26:55,340
Do you see any value in the CDC

2498
01:26:55,340 --> 01:26:57,180
looking into this right now?

2499
01:26:57,340 --> 01:26:57,460
No.

2500
01:26:57,460 --> 01:26:59,700
Could it help perhaps put conspiracies to bed?

2501
01:26:59,860 --> 01:27:04,440
No, we can't have a governmental health organization

2502
01:27:04,440 --> 01:27:05,880
looking into this now.

2503
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:07,040
It's been debunked.

2504
01:27:07,140 --> 01:27:08,420
Don't waste your resources.

2505
01:27:08,980 --> 01:27:11,260
No, I don't really see a positive sign,

2506
01:27:11,580 --> 01:27:13,320
a positive reason for doing this, Anna.

2507
01:27:13,380 --> 01:27:16,100
We've got three very strong convergent lines of

2508
01:27:16,100 --> 01:27:18,960
evidence that there's zero link between vaccines and

2509
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:19,280
autism.

2510
01:27:19,460 --> 01:27:20,600
First, you have actual data.

2511
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:21,120
Data.

2512
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:23,660
From all of the different assertions, whether they

2513
01:27:23,660 --> 01:27:26,240
claimed it was MMR vaccine back in the

2514
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:29,320
late 1990s, or when RFK Jr. claimed it

2515
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:32,220
was thimerosal preservative that's in vaccine.

2516
01:27:32,220 --> 01:27:34,500
All of those studies we have in the

2517
01:27:34,500 --> 01:27:39,180
open access published literature, large epidemiologic studies, thousands

2518
01:27:39,180 --> 01:27:41,340
of kids, 0.1, 0.2, lack of

2519
01:27:41,340 --> 01:27:42,040
plausibility.

2520
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:44,660
We have now more than 100 autism genes

2521
01:27:44,660 --> 01:27:45,540
that have been identified.

2522
01:27:46,540 --> 01:27:48,300
Autism represents processes.

2523
01:27:48,300 --> 01:27:50,920
Did I just hear him say autism genes?

2524
01:27:52,420 --> 01:27:53,940
I've never heard of this.

2525
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:55,680
He said 100 of them too.

2526
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:58,120
So there's, you can actually have genes that

2527
01:27:58,120 --> 01:27:59,280
contain autism.

2528
01:27:59,860 --> 01:28:03,040
That occur in early fetal brain development well

2529
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:05,720
before kids ever, ever see vaccines.

2530
01:28:05,900 --> 01:28:08,120
So if there's any environmental influence, it's around

2531
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:10,400
the time of conception or in the first

2532
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:11,440
trimester of pregnancy.

2533
01:28:11,860 --> 01:28:13,280
It's during conception.

2534
01:28:14,460 --> 01:28:17,000
Oh, you've got autism genes, man.

2535
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,260
You know, this calls for eugenics.

2536
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:21,020
I think.

2537
01:28:21,440 --> 01:28:23,940
Third, more recently, we have brain assembly and

2538
01:28:23,940 --> 01:28:27,540
brain organoid studies, really many brains in the

2539
01:28:27,540 --> 01:28:29,820
test tube using neurons with autism genes.

2540
01:28:29,940 --> 01:28:31,440
So they all point to the same thing,

2541
01:28:31,500 --> 01:28:33,280
the genetic basis of autism.

2542
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:34,880
Genetic basis.

2543
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:38,340
So he's going to tell us that since

2544
01:28:38,340 --> 01:28:42,080
the 90s, early, mid 80s, that all of

2545
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,640
a sudden something happened with our genetic code,

2546
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:48,700
in particular in the United States, that soared

2547
01:28:48,700 --> 01:28:51,440
the autism rates because we're all humping each

2548
01:28:51,440 --> 01:28:54,460
other and spreading our autism genes.

2549
01:28:55,060 --> 01:28:56,920
This, you're right.

2550
01:28:57,120 --> 01:28:59,160
This guy has been taken over by a

2551
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:00,060
gruesome bug.

2552
01:29:00,340 --> 01:29:02,520
So do you believe that more research is

2553
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,080
needed into what causes autism?

2554
01:29:05,540 --> 01:29:07,760
Could that be a good use of resources?

2555
01:29:08,460 --> 01:29:09,140
Oh, absolutely.

2556
01:29:09,500 --> 01:29:11,240
You know, where I am at Baylor College

2557
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:13,760
of Medicine, we have an extraordinary neurological research

2558
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:14,280
institute.

2559
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:18,360
The details of the genetics of autism, how

2560
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:22,960
the autism genes interact to other universities across

2561
01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:24,500
the country are looking into that.

2562
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:26,360
So there's always more to learn.

2563
01:29:26,860 --> 01:29:29,620
In fact, there are some environmental triggers that

2564
01:29:29,620 --> 01:29:31,880
occur in early pregnancy that interact with autism

2565
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:32,280
genes.

2566
01:29:32,440 --> 01:29:36,140
For instance, if a pregnant woman doesn't realize

2567
01:29:36,140 --> 01:29:37,980
around the time of conception that she's pregnant,

2568
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:40,320
is on an anti-seizure medicine called Depakote

2569
01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:42,920
or also known as valproic acid, that can

2570
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,920
cause the newborn infant to ultimately go on

2571
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:48,400
to have an autism phenotype because it's interacting

2572
01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:49,520
with the autism genes.

2573
01:29:49,860 --> 01:29:51,240
We need more of those kinds of studies.

2574
01:29:51,340 --> 01:29:53,040
And I actually said that directly to RFK

2575
01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:55,000
Jr. many years ago, but I couldn't engage

2576
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:55,420
him on it.

2577
01:29:55,540 --> 01:29:57,460
So there's a lot more to do.

2578
01:29:57,820 --> 01:30:01,920
But to waste taxpayer dollars and time and

2579
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:04,440
energy in the scientific community on vaccines is

2580
01:30:04,440 --> 01:30:05,660
just a fruitless endeavor.

2581
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:07,280
Just a fruitless endeavor.

2582
01:30:07,440 --> 01:30:08,240
It's genetic.

2583
01:30:08,580 --> 01:30:09,900
Don't you understand that, people?

2584
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:10,540
It's genetic.

2585
01:30:10,540 --> 01:30:12,460
That's why only one of your kids has

2586
01:30:12,460 --> 01:30:13,540
it and not the other two.

2587
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:14,120
It's crazy.

2588
01:30:14,180 --> 01:30:14,880
It's just genetic.

2589
01:30:16,020 --> 01:30:16,960
You know, they're going to come up with

2590
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,340
an MRNA to solve autism.

2591
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:21,360
That would be that would be ideal.

2592
01:30:21,660 --> 01:30:24,340
Which brings me to my COVID life insurance

2593
01:30:24,340 --> 01:30:24,760
clip.

2594
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:25,720
Oh boy.

2595
01:30:26,580 --> 01:30:27,720
Okay, here we go.

2596
01:30:27,980 --> 01:30:30,800
So in France, there was an elderly, wealthy

2597
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:34,300
businessman who got out life insurance for millions

2598
01:30:34,300 --> 01:30:34,840
of dollars.

2599
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:36,860
He got the COVID vaccine and he died.

2600
01:30:37,380 --> 01:30:40,280
So the life insurance company is not paying

2601
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:44,080
out because they decided that the COVID vaccine

2602
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:47,200
is a medical experiment and death from a

2603
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:51,220
medical experiment is not a covered entity.

2604
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:58,300
Furthermore, even the judge says that the side

2605
01:30:58,300 --> 01:31:00,240
effects from the vaccine are well known.

2606
01:31:00,340 --> 01:31:01,280
They've been made public.

2607
01:31:01,780 --> 01:31:04,900
There's absolutely no way that this gentleman could

2608
01:31:04,900 --> 01:31:07,180
not have known the side effects.

2609
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:11,980
He willingly chose to get the vaccine and

2610
01:31:11,980 --> 01:31:13,600
he died as a result.

2611
01:31:14,300 --> 01:31:16,540
And because it was a choice, they're calling

2612
01:31:16,540 --> 01:31:17,220
it a suicide.

2613
01:31:17,500 --> 01:31:21,900
And suicides along with death from experimental drugs

2614
01:31:21,900 --> 01:31:24,940
are not covered in life insurance.

2615
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:26,040
So I know what you're thinking.

2616
01:31:26,140 --> 01:31:27,520
Oh, that happened in France.

2617
01:31:27,620 --> 01:31:30,140
That would never happen in the U.S.

2618
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:33,000
Well, I'm sorry to tell you, but the

2619
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:38,160
American Life Insurance Council has also said that

2620
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:43,840
life insurance policies may deny payment if you

2621
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:47,900
die from the COVID-19 vaccine because they

2622
01:31:47,900 --> 01:31:50,940
are experimental drugs.

2623
01:31:51,300 --> 01:31:51,860
There you go.

2624
01:31:52,420 --> 01:31:54,140
This is something we thought might happen.

2625
01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:56,060
We're seeing it happen.

2626
01:31:56,340 --> 01:31:57,840
You might want to check your policy.

2627
01:31:57,840 --> 01:32:01,320
Ah, well, that then brings me to my

2628
01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:02,240
Luigi clip.

2629
01:32:03,440 --> 01:32:05,160
Because if you're going to do this with

2630
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:07,360
people, people are going to strike back.

2631
01:32:07,460 --> 01:32:09,300
They're going to strike back at insurance companies

2632
01:32:09,300 --> 01:32:11,500
and perhaps even pharma executives.

2633
01:32:11,820 --> 01:32:14,100
To the FBI, joining the investigation to a

2634
01:32:14,100 --> 01:32:16,020
suspected arson at the home of a Bayer

2635
01:32:16,020 --> 01:32:17,280
pharmaceutical executive.

2636
01:32:17,420 --> 01:32:20,420
It follows the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO in

2637
01:32:20,420 --> 01:32:20,900
December.

2638
01:32:21,100 --> 01:32:23,600
Our chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Kuterski, is here

2639
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:24,320
with more for us.

2640
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:24,780
Good morning, Aaron.

2641
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:25,380
Good morning, Michael.

2642
01:32:25,440 --> 01:32:27,520
It was 730 the morning of March 4th

2643
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:29,460
the New Jersey home of a Bayer executive

2644
01:32:29,460 --> 01:32:30,180
caught fire.

2645
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:32,480
People were inside at the time, but the

2646
01:32:32,480 --> 01:32:33,820
fire, thankfully, was put out.

2647
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:34,580
Nobody was hurt.

2648
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:36,940
Bayer said the family, which the company is

2649
01:32:36,940 --> 01:32:39,500
not going to identify, is safe and unharmed.

2650
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:41,440
But as you say, the FBI and a

2651
01:32:41,440 --> 01:32:43,320
number of other law enforcement agencies are now

2652
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:45,020
investigating whether this was arson.

2653
01:32:45,460 --> 01:32:47,540
Bayer said it's cooperating with that investigation.

2654
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:50,460
And so far, Morris County prosecutors say there

2655
01:32:50,460 --> 01:32:51,440
have been no arrests.

2656
01:32:51,860 --> 01:32:54,080
This is a time of heightened concern about

2657
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:56,220
safety and security in the healthcare industry.

2658
01:32:56,220 --> 01:32:58,980
Officials worry the December assassination-style killing of

2659
01:32:58,980 --> 01:33:02,500
UnitedHealthcare chief Brian Thompson is inspiring threats and

2660
01:33:02,500 --> 01:33:05,280
plots against executives in the industry and beyond.

2661
01:33:05,820 --> 01:33:07,720
In fact, a Homeland Security report obtained by

2662
01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:11,580
ABC News said individuals driven by financial grievances

2663
01:33:11,580 --> 01:33:14,660
are taking Thompson's murder as inspiration for making

2664
01:33:14,660 --> 01:33:18,080
threats against government and public safety officials, particularly

2665
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:21,880
if they're perceived as contributing to economic strain.

2666
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:25,620
Authorities noticed one rather alarming post saying these

2667
01:33:25,620 --> 01:33:29,580
officials and executives deserve to be Luigi'd, a

2668
01:33:29,580 --> 01:33:31,960
reference to Luigi Mangione, the young Maryland man

2669
01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:33,360
charged in Thompson's murder.

2670
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:34,820
Yeah, Luigi'd.

2671
01:33:36,180 --> 01:33:36,700
Luigi'd.

2672
01:33:36,780 --> 01:33:37,720
You can be Luigi'd.

2673
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:40,520
That'd be a good show title if you

2674
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:41,240
could spell it.

2675
01:33:41,300 --> 01:33:43,660
I have no idea how you'd spell Luigi'd.

2676
01:33:43,820 --> 01:33:44,560
It wouldn't be right.

2677
01:33:44,660 --> 01:33:46,920
It was kind of Luigi'd.

2678
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:50,820
It was kind of interesting that the senator

2679
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:55,880
from Louisiana, Cassidy, he had the famous Dr.

2680
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:56,500
J.

2681
01:33:57,460 --> 01:34:02,420
Bhattacharya on the witness stand, which of course

2682
01:34:02,420 --> 01:34:04,700
is all showboating because that's what that's always

2683
01:34:04,700 --> 01:34:08,560
about, just going back to the danger of

2684
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:10,300
vaccines and autism.

2685
01:34:10,540 --> 01:34:11,720
Now, isn't he the guy that a lot

2686
01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:13,680
of people love during the pandemic because he

2687
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,720
was against lockdowns, mass mandates, et cetera?

2688
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:18,860
I don't remember that guy's name.

2689
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:20,500
Yeah, I think a lot of people really,

2690
01:34:20,740 --> 01:34:22,820
really love listening to him.

2691
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:25,760
And when I weed, what weed?

2692
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,980
When I read Wikipedia, when I, hey man,

2693
01:34:29,220 --> 01:34:31,200
when I weed the Wikipedia, Hey man, when

2694
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:34,460
I weed, weed the Wikipedia, if it starts

2695
01:34:34,460 --> 01:34:38,700
off with Jayanta Bhattacharya who holds a medical

2696
01:34:38,700 --> 01:34:42,680
degree, but never completed residency, then I kind

2697
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:44,860
of think that people hate him.

2698
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:48,840
So here's some clips of him about vaccines

2699
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:49,460
and autism.

2700
01:34:50,300 --> 01:34:52,520
I've been told that you have said that

2701
01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:54,800
we need to invest NIH resources at looking

2702
01:34:54,800 --> 01:34:57,080
at the link, a possible link between measles

2703
01:34:57,080 --> 01:34:58,280
vaccine and autism.

2704
01:34:58,540 --> 01:35:00,400
I've not heard that directly as hearsay.

2705
01:35:01,100 --> 01:35:02,060
Any comment on that?

2706
01:35:02,580 --> 01:35:06,620
Senator, it's a tragedy that a child would

2707
01:35:06,620 --> 01:35:08,100
die from a vaccine preventable disease.

2708
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:11,900
I fully support children being vaccinated for diseases

2709
01:35:11,900 --> 01:35:14,980
like measles that can be prevented with the

2710
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:15,780
vaccination efforts.

2711
01:35:17,420 --> 01:35:22,060
As far as research on autism and vaccines,

2712
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:24,900
I don't generally believe that there is a

2713
01:35:24,900 --> 01:35:27,040
link based on my reading of the literature.

2714
01:35:27,660 --> 01:35:29,060
But what I have seen is that there's

2715
01:35:29,060 --> 01:35:33,400
tremendous distrust in medicine and science coming out

2716
01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:33,900
of the pandemic.

2717
01:35:34,380 --> 01:35:36,220
And we do have, as you know, Senator,

2718
01:35:36,540 --> 01:35:38,980
a sharp rise in autism rates in this

2719
01:35:38,980 --> 01:35:39,320
country.

2720
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:41,060
And I don't know, and I don't think

2721
01:35:41,060 --> 01:35:43,140
any scientist really knows the cause of it.

2722
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:47,260
So I would support an agenda, a broad

2723
01:35:47,260 --> 01:35:51,800
scientific agenda based on data to get an

2724
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:52,520
answer to that.

2725
01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:55,080
I have an interesting test we could do.

2726
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:58,560
What are the autism rates amongst the Mennonites?

2727
01:36:00,100 --> 01:36:02,200
We already know the answer to that one.

2728
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:03,480
Probably zero.

2729
01:36:04,420 --> 01:36:05,900
So what is your strategy?

2730
01:36:06,260 --> 01:36:07,900
Do you have an idea or an agenda

2731
01:36:07,900 --> 01:36:10,840
that would once more, by golly, once more

2732
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:14,180
prove that measles vaccine is not associated with

2733
01:36:14,180 --> 01:36:16,800
autism, either the schedule, the vaccine, or anything

2734
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:17,940
else associated with it?

2735
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:20,040
Because my concern is the more we pretend

2736
01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:22,280
this is an issue, the more we will

2737
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:24,380
have children dying from vaccine-preventable diseases.

2738
01:36:24,940 --> 01:36:26,300
Senator, I guess I'd turn it around and

2739
01:36:26,300 --> 01:36:29,040
say, I don't want to just prove a

2740
01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:29,300
negative.

2741
01:36:29,660 --> 01:36:30,840
That's impossible, really.

2742
01:36:31,020 --> 01:36:34,200
But I want to address the rise in

2743
01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:34,580
autism.

2744
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:36,920
I accept that.

2745
01:36:37,240 --> 01:36:38,660
Did you say something?

2746
01:36:40,020 --> 01:36:40,900
No, it was in the clip.

2747
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:42,060
I thought someone said, hey, stop.

2748
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:43,240
The rise in autism.

2749
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:45,520
I accept that.

2750
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:46,520
I think that's laudable.

2751
01:36:46,860 --> 01:36:47,860
We need to do that.

2752
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:48,700
Yeah, that's a positive.

2753
01:36:48,700 --> 01:36:50,500
But I'm asking the specific question.

2754
01:36:50,780 --> 01:36:52,720
Will we once more have to go back

2755
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:53,880
over this particular issue?

2756
01:36:54,220 --> 01:36:56,140
Because that has been exhaustively studied.

2757
01:36:56,720 --> 01:36:57,920
Yeah, I mean, I think, as I said,

2758
01:36:58,000 --> 01:36:59,820
Senator, I don't think that there's a link

2759
01:36:59,820 --> 01:37:02,640
between the MMR vaccine and autism.

2760
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:04,560
I'm convinced based on that literature.

2761
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:06,760
Notice he's saying just MMR vaccine.

2762
01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:11,260
The only reason I'm not wholeheartedly saying yes

2763
01:37:11,260 --> 01:37:14,220
to your question, which every instinct of mine

2764
01:37:14,220 --> 01:37:15,480
is to do that, is that there are

2765
01:37:15,480 --> 01:37:17,420
people who might disagree with me.

2766
01:37:17,420 --> 01:37:19,240
But that's life.

2767
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:21,260
I mean, there's people who disagree that the

2768
01:37:21,260 --> 01:37:21,980
world is round.

2769
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:24,180
And I say that not to minimize these

2770
01:37:24,180 --> 01:37:24,500
concerns.

2771
01:37:25,480 --> 01:37:28,520
But people still think Elvis is alive.

2772
01:37:28,900 --> 01:37:29,300
He's not?

2773
01:37:30,820 --> 01:37:31,300
Crazy.

2774
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:32,740
Last clip is short.

2775
01:37:32,900 --> 01:37:34,580
At what end point we say we've got

2776
01:37:34,580 --> 01:37:35,080
good data?

2777
01:37:36,300 --> 01:37:38,800
Because I mean, I'm convinced that we have

2778
01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:40,140
good data on MMR and autism.

2779
01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:43,560
But if other people don't agree with me

2780
01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:45,540
and then they don't vaccinate their children, I

2781
01:37:45,540 --> 01:37:48,620
think I don't, as if I'm confirmed as

2782
01:37:48,620 --> 01:37:51,140
NIH director, the one lever I'll have is

2783
01:37:51,140 --> 01:37:52,060
to give them good data.

2784
01:37:52,620 --> 01:37:53,960
That's really the lever I'd have.

2785
01:37:53,980 --> 01:37:55,500
But that good data already exists.

2786
01:37:55,660 --> 01:37:57,240
You're a scientist and you accept that.

2787
01:37:57,580 --> 01:37:58,840
This is more an endorsement.

2788
01:37:58,880 --> 01:37:59,520
I'm a doctor, Jim.

2789
01:37:59,660 --> 01:38:02,240
With an appropriate allocation of current dollars would

2790
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:04,260
be a better way to spend precious, limited

2791
01:38:04,260 --> 01:38:05,460
federal dollars.

2792
01:38:05,620 --> 01:38:06,020
All right.

2793
01:38:06,100 --> 01:38:07,660
So I guess it's off the table.

2794
01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:09,520
But the Chara isn't in on it.

2795
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:11,400
He doesn't feel like there's any link.

2796
01:38:14,100 --> 01:38:16,000
Again, I think we just go study the

2797
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,400
Mennonites and the...

2798
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:19,840
They already did.

2799
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:21,840
The Mennonites have been studied.

2800
01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:23,660
They have no incidence of autism.

2801
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:26,060
Well, maybe we should just all become Mennonites

2802
01:38:26,060 --> 01:38:26,240
then.

2803
01:38:26,340 --> 01:38:27,380
I thought we had that clip.

2804
01:38:27,500 --> 01:38:28,780
I thought we played that clip before.

2805
01:38:29,620 --> 01:38:30,420
Mennonites autism?

2806
01:38:31,180 --> 01:38:31,940
I don't know.

2807
01:38:33,020 --> 01:38:33,420
But...

2808
01:38:33,420 --> 01:38:34,800
No, I don't think so.

2809
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:36,140
I think Kennedy has brought it up.

2810
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:41,040
Now, what else do we got here on

2811
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:41,500
our list?

2812
01:38:41,500 --> 01:38:41,780
I don't know.

2813
01:38:41,980 --> 01:38:42,820
I'm sure you've got something.

2814
01:38:42,820 --> 01:38:45,240
I got the CCP cyber attacks.

2815
01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:46,640
I should talk about some of these.

2816
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:49,040
Hey, there's a big stink about the Snow

2817
01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:50,460
White movie in England.

2818
01:38:50,900 --> 01:38:51,380
Really?

2819
01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:54,340
I thought everyone already hated it here.

2820
01:38:54,980 --> 01:38:55,200
Yeah.

2821
01:38:55,340 --> 01:38:58,700
Well, this is the BBC World Service.

2822
01:38:58,700 --> 01:38:59,340
Oh, World Service.

2823
01:38:59,960 --> 01:39:02,160
Which is where you get on the shortwave.

2824
01:39:02,480 --> 01:39:02,960
Yes.

2825
01:39:03,220 --> 01:39:04,260
I had the shortwave running.

2826
01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:05,000
I picked it up.

2827
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:05,700
Okay.

2828
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:07,560
It's also online, of course.

2829
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:13,160
And this, I just think it's interesting because

2830
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:14,940
how do you get into this mess?

2831
01:39:14,940 --> 01:39:18,200
How does Disney find a way to foul

2832
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:19,900
up stuff like this?

2833
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:21,480
It's easy.

2834
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:23,980
A Disney premiere is usually a big deal.

2835
01:39:24,480 --> 01:39:25,960
Well, by the way, stop.

2836
01:39:26,380 --> 01:39:26,480
Yes.

2837
01:39:27,020 --> 01:39:29,200
That's when they said Disney premiere.

2838
01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:29,640
Premiere.

2839
01:39:29,960 --> 01:39:32,520
This is when you had this problem saying

2840
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:33,180
premiere.

2841
01:39:33,500 --> 01:39:34,020
Yes.

2842
01:39:34,160 --> 01:39:35,040
The premiere of Canada.

2843
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:37,580
You kept saying premiere because you lived in

2844
01:39:37,580 --> 01:39:39,600
England and this word has been...

2845
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:40,540
It's in your brain.

2846
01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:41,220
Premiere.

2847
01:39:41,420 --> 01:39:43,340
It's a premiere and it's a gala, not

2848
01:39:43,340 --> 01:39:43,720
a gala.

2849
01:39:43,900 --> 01:39:44,300
It's a premiere.

2850
01:39:44,300 --> 01:39:46,720
And it's aluminium at the premiere at the

2851
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:46,960
gala.

2852
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:49,420
A Disney premiere is usually a big deal.

2853
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,460
But the launch of the remake of the

2854
01:39:54,460 --> 01:39:57,940
classic Snow White is reportedly being scaled back

2855
01:39:57,940 --> 01:39:59,760
after a series of controversies.

2856
01:40:00,860 --> 01:40:01,460
Controversies.

2857
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:02,180
Another word.

2858
01:40:02,480 --> 01:40:03,080
Controversies.

2859
01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:04,480
About global politics.

2860
01:40:05,100 --> 01:40:07,800
The Israeli actor Gal Gadot, who plays the

2861
01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:09,660
evil queen in the new movie, has been

2862
01:40:09,660 --> 01:40:12,380
an outspoken supporter of Israel during its war

2863
01:40:12,380 --> 01:40:13,080
in Gaza.

2864
01:40:13,540 --> 01:40:16,360
While Rachel Zegler, who's of Colombian and Polish

2865
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:19,040
descent, supports a, quote, free Palestine on social

2866
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:19,420
media.

2867
01:40:19,620 --> 01:40:21,900
But that's not the only issue, as the

2868
01:40:21,900 --> 01:40:24,680
BBC's culture reporter Stephen McIntosh explains.

2869
01:40:24,860 --> 01:40:25,600
I can't...

2870
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:27,640
I mean, what could possibly be wrong with

2871
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:29,320
Snow White, except that she's black?

2872
01:40:30,660 --> 01:40:31,720
Is that the problem?

2873
01:40:32,140 --> 01:40:32,720
Are they racist?

2874
01:40:32,940 --> 01:40:34,260
She's a Colombian, this woman.

2875
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:35,280
Okay, she's brown.

2876
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:37,000
She's actually quite pretty, the Snow White that

2877
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:37,400
they're using.

2878
01:40:37,420 --> 01:40:38,800
Are they racist in Britain?

2879
01:40:38,940 --> 01:40:40,300
What is their problem with Snow White?

2880
01:40:40,940 --> 01:40:44,360
The problem is really between the two actresses

2881
01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:46,760
have gotten into a feud over the Israeli.

2882
01:40:47,340 --> 01:40:49,440
I mean, for one thing, if I'm Disney,

2883
01:40:49,580 --> 01:40:50,720
I'm the producer.

2884
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:51,280
I don't know.

2885
01:40:51,380 --> 01:40:53,000
Maybe I should talk to Brunetti about this,

2886
01:40:53,060 --> 01:40:53,700
how this works.

2887
01:40:54,220 --> 01:40:55,600
What are the actors wagging?

2888
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:58,420
Where are the actors, the tail wagging the

2889
01:40:58,420 --> 01:40:58,900
dog?

2890
01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:01,240
I mean, these people just shut up, do

2891
01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:02,560
their job and get out of there.

2892
01:41:02,820 --> 01:41:05,000
I mean, it turns out that this actress

2893
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:07,840
playing Snow White demanded to get the romance

2894
01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:08,980
out of the story.

2895
01:41:08,980 --> 01:41:09,500
Okay.

2896
01:41:10,280 --> 01:41:12,940
I think, you know, I know in the

2897
01:41:12,940 --> 01:41:14,980
record business, but I'm pretty sure it's the

2898
01:41:14,980 --> 01:41:16,260
same with movies now.

2899
01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:19,360
And Brunetti can confirm or deny that you

2900
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:22,580
can't be a recording artist or an actor

2901
01:41:22,580 --> 01:41:25,460
unless you have an enormous following on the

2902
01:41:25,460 --> 01:41:25,940
socials.

2903
01:41:26,700 --> 01:41:30,040
I mean, even Woody Harrelson, who barely knows

2904
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:33,020
how to operate a phone, he, you know,

2905
01:41:33,020 --> 01:41:35,400
for his new movie, he had to have

2906
01:41:35,400 --> 01:41:36,940
a TikTok account.

2907
01:41:36,940 --> 01:41:39,220
The studio demands it.

2908
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:41,740
So, of course, Woody Harrelson is crazy.

2909
01:41:42,180 --> 01:41:43,420
And so he'll put all kinds of nut

2910
01:41:43,420 --> 01:41:44,520
job stuff on there.

2911
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:46,660
Yes, he is.

2912
01:41:47,060 --> 01:41:49,320
He's got the dementia from the pot, from

2913
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:49,700
the weed.

2914
01:41:49,860 --> 01:41:51,520
So you get what you deserve.

2915
01:41:52,060 --> 01:41:53,820
It started actually right at the beginning with

2916
01:41:53,820 --> 01:41:56,040
Rachel Zegler's casting as Snow White.

2917
01:41:56,180 --> 01:41:57,040
She is a big star.

2918
01:41:57,160 --> 01:41:59,020
She was in Steven Spielberg's West Side Story.

2919
01:41:59,180 --> 01:42:00,280
But she's a Latina actress.

2920
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:01,220
She's Colombian American.

2921
01:42:01,460 --> 01:42:02,820
So she was cast in a role that

2922
01:42:02,820 --> 01:42:04,920
was previously in the animated version, a white

2923
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:05,300
character.

2924
01:42:05,300 --> 01:42:07,440
And very often when we've seen this kind

2925
01:42:07,440 --> 01:42:09,520
of controversy before, when a role like that

2926
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:11,960
is recast with maybe a more diverse actor

2927
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:13,540
or actress, there's a bit of a backlash.

2928
01:42:13,940 --> 01:42:16,000
It then became a bigger story about what

2929
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:19,180
Rachel Zegler's attitude was towards the original source

2930
01:42:19,180 --> 01:42:19,620
material.

2931
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:21,600
So she said in the original one, there

2932
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:23,620
was too much focus on the love story,

2933
01:42:23,740 --> 01:42:25,580
too much reliance on the prince character.

2934
01:42:26,100 --> 01:42:27,440
She had this quote where she said that

2935
01:42:27,440 --> 01:42:28,860
the prince in the original film kind of

2936
01:42:28,860 --> 01:42:29,720
stalks Snow White.

2937
01:42:29,780 --> 01:42:31,240
And she basically said that the new Snow

2938
01:42:31,240 --> 01:42:32,280
White was going to be different.

2939
01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:33,600
And some people thought that was a little

2940
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:35,860
bit insulting towards the original source material.

2941
01:42:36,060 --> 01:42:37,800
There was a rumored feud behind the scenes

2942
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:40,120
between Rachel Zegler and her co-star Gal

2943
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:41,900
Gadot, who plays the evil stepmother.

2944
01:42:42,060 --> 01:42:44,260
They have opposing views on the Israel-Palestine

2945
01:42:44,260 --> 01:42:44,640
conflict.

2946
01:42:44,900 --> 01:42:47,120
And then finally, possibly the biggest controversy was

2947
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:47,820
the dwarfism.

2948
01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:50,040
Peter Dinklage, the actor from Game of Thrones,

2949
01:42:50,180 --> 01:42:51,220
came out and said that it was a

2950
01:42:51,220 --> 01:42:53,200
bit backwards, as he put it, to be

2951
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:54,960
remaking Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at

2952
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:55,180
all.

2953
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:57,440
He's always been a champion for the idea

2954
01:42:57,440 --> 01:42:59,440
that if you're going to cast an actor

2955
01:42:59,440 --> 01:43:02,100
with dwarfism, that shouldn't be their primary character

2956
01:43:02,100 --> 01:43:02,440
trait.

2957
01:43:02,740 --> 01:43:04,240
There's all these controversies that have been kind

2958
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:05,640
of been rumbling around over the last few

2959
01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:07,000
years while this film's been in production.

2960
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:08,620
The last year and a half since, of

2961
01:43:08,620 --> 01:43:10,580
course, October 7th, it's been a bit difficult

2962
01:43:10,580 --> 01:43:13,100
for studios trying to navigate this, because obviously

2963
01:43:13,100 --> 01:43:14,860
Gal Gadot's a very well-respected actress.

2964
01:43:14,980 --> 01:43:15,920
They would have wanted to cast her.

2965
01:43:15,980 --> 01:43:16,640
She's a big name.

2966
01:43:16,860 --> 01:43:18,820
Equally, a lot of the actors and actresses

2967
01:43:18,820 --> 01:43:20,780
involved in these kinds of films have their

2968
01:43:20,780 --> 01:43:22,620
own personal political views on the conflict.

2969
01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:24,540
There's kind of been a few cryptic tweets

2970
01:43:24,540 --> 01:43:26,820
posted by Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot about

2971
01:43:26,820 --> 01:43:29,140
the conflict, but it's not necessarily clear if

2972
01:43:29,140 --> 01:43:30,940
they really are at odds with one another,

2973
01:43:31,100 --> 01:43:32,220
and if this really was a rupture behind

2974
01:43:32,220 --> 01:43:33,380
the scenes, or if the fans are just

2975
01:43:33,380 --> 01:43:34,880
kind of speculating that there might have been

2976
01:43:34,880 --> 01:43:35,980
a behind-the-scenes fallout.

2977
01:43:36,780 --> 01:43:39,720
Well, Hollywood has lost its ever-loving mind,

2978
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:40,480
that's for sure.

2979
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:44,660
They're doing a movie with seven dwarfs.

2980
01:43:45,860 --> 01:43:47,960
Right away, you have an issue if you're

2981
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:50,340
going to start doing live action with people.

2982
01:43:50,480 --> 01:43:51,720
This is idiotic.

2983
01:43:51,740 --> 01:43:54,060
Notice how they call it original source material

2984
01:43:54,060 --> 01:43:55,560
instead of the story.

2985
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:57,060
Yeah, the story.

2986
01:43:57,720 --> 01:43:57,920
The story.

2987
01:43:58,180 --> 01:44:00,040
Now it's original source material.

2988
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:01,980
Yeah, let's take the prince out of it,

2989
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:03,980
because this guy is a stalker, he's a

2990
01:44:03,980 --> 01:44:04,340
creep.

2991
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:07,160
And let's change it from a romance.

2992
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:09,980
These dwarfs, what's the point of them?

2993
01:44:10,100 --> 01:44:10,820
Get them out.

2994
01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:12,880
So basically, it's just a what?

2995
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:15,060
I don't know.

2996
01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:15,760
Wicked 2?

2997
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:16,800
Yeah, yes.

2998
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:19,760
Another movie I have no desire to watch.

2999
01:44:21,060 --> 01:44:21,940
No, thank you.

3000
01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:23,540
Well, you saw the Broadway play and enjoyed

3001
01:44:23,540 --> 01:44:23,760
it.

3002
01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:24,880
I did.

3003
01:44:25,220 --> 01:44:27,020
But, you know, it was with my daughter,

3004
01:44:27,160 --> 01:44:29,520
Christina, and they had the special wicked alcoholic

3005
01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:31,300
beverages, and we were pretty smashed.

3006
01:44:32,680 --> 01:44:34,840
We were just drinking like, oh, this is

3007
01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:35,600
great, this is great.

3008
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:37,300
They're singing, it's awesome.

3009
01:44:38,460 --> 01:44:39,280
They're singing.

3010
01:44:40,900 --> 01:44:43,820
Man, Brunetti's going to rue the day that

3011
01:44:43,820 --> 01:44:44,820
he didn't listen to me.

3012
01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:46,780
What did you tell him?

3013
01:44:47,020 --> 01:44:49,300
I told him he should use me and

3014
01:44:49,300 --> 01:44:51,620
you to get in on the Christian movie

3015
01:44:51,620 --> 01:44:52,080
wave.

3016
01:44:52,580 --> 01:44:54,420
Oh, he knows all about that.

3017
01:44:55,020 --> 01:44:59,740
Because MGM, now Amazon, they have a huge

3018
01:44:59,740 --> 01:45:01,460
hit on their hands with House of David.

3019
01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:03,580
I'm not going to watch it.

3020
01:45:03,580 --> 01:45:05,240
Oh, it's really, it's gory.

3021
01:45:05,460 --> 01:45:06,520
It's really well done.

3022
01:45:06,660 --> 01:45:08,580
You want to see heads getting chopped off,

3023
01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:09,780
and it's good.

3024
01:45:10,740 --> 01:45:11,540
You're going to watch it.

3025
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:12,260
You'll like it.

3026
01:45:12,980 --> 01:45:13,720
I'm not going to watch it.

3027
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:14,700
You're not going to watch it.

3028
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:15,580
You don't like anything.

3029
01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:16,300
What am I saying?

3030
01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:18,160
Just like...

3031
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:19,480
Okay, stop.

3032
01:45:20,620 --> 01:45:22,820
I have to say, I really like The

3033
01:45:22,820 --> 01:45:23,320
Diplomat.

3034
01:45:24,180 --> 01:45:24,600
What?

3035
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:25,360
Yeah, I know you do.

3036
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:26,100
It's recommended by you.

3037
01:45:26,120 --> 01:45:27,340
Yeah, it's a good show.

3038
01:45:27,420 --> 01:45:28,440
It's a lesbian undertones.

3039
01:45:29,660 --> 01:45:31,460
I mean, the whole thing, there's a married

3040
01:45:31,460 --> 01:45:33,040
couple with no children.

3041
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:37,060
Lesbians always says, box office smash.

3042
01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:40,260
Well, you know, I have to say that

3043
01:45:40,260 --> 01:45:41,980
they definitely nailed it.

3044
01:45:42,780 --> 01:45:47,740
And it's a terrific pacing, and the teasers

3045
01:45:47,740 --> 01:45:49,340
at the end of each episode are fantastic.

3046
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:50,600
Dynamite.

3047
01:45:51,480 --> 01:45:52,860
It's just a terrific...

3048
01:45:54,020 --> 01:45:56,960
Of course, it's typical of anything decent.

3049
01:45:57,140 --> 01:45:58,820
They can't produce enough copies.

3050
01:45:58,940 --> 01:46:01,640
So they did, what, eight episodes for season

3051
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:03,740
one, six episodes for season two.

3052
01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:04,360
Come on.

3053
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:04,940
They ran out of time.

3054
01:46:04,940 --> 01:46:07,080
That's not even one whole season, and it's

3055
01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:08,380
already on to season three.

3056
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:11,420
Where's the people that used to produce...

3057
01:46:12,300 --> 01:46:16,660
The Sid Caesar Show, which was live comedy.

3058
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:18,660
Yeah, but it didn't have sets.

3059
01:46:18,660 --> 01:46:20,280
It didn't have the White House as a

3060
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:21,600
set or the embassy.

3061
01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:25,820
Hour and a half of Broadway quality comedy

3062
01:46:25,820 --> 01:46:28,700
every week for 30 plus weeks.

3063
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:30,200
Bring back Sid Caesar.

3064
01:46:30,520 --> 01:46:30,880
Okay.

3065
01:46:31,100 --> 01:46:32,260
Boomer moment, everybody.

3066
01:46:32,580 --> 01:46:33,020
There you go.

3067
01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:36,900
I mean, to me, when I was a

3068
01:46:36,900 --> 01:46:42,680
kid, the season was like 35, 36 episodes,

3069
01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:44,900
and they go on a hiatus for 20

3070
01:46:44,900 --> 01:46:45,400
weeks.

3071
01:46:46,340 --> 01:46:49,480
But now it's like they do 12 episodes.

3072
01:46:49,580 --> 01:46:51,120
Oh, God, we're so overworked.

3073
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:51,880
We don't know what to do.

3074
01:46:51,980 --> 01:46:53,260
We got to take some time off.

3075
01:46:54,800 --> 01:46:56,460
And in this show, they don't even do

3076
01:46:56,460 --> 01:46:57,180
that much work.

3077
01:46:57,260 --> 01:46:59,020
They do, what, eight and then six?

3078
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:00,700
Yes, John.

3079
01:47:02,480 --> 01:47:04,460
And that was your Boomer update.

3080
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,780
People are calling me Boomer.

3081
01:47:08,100 --> 01:47:11,020
Well, you get that button ready.

3082
01:47:11,120 --> 01:47:12,460
Put it on the regular button.

3083
01:47:12,580 --> 01:47:13,480
Yes, I will.

3084
01:47:13,480 --> 01:47:15,080
Because I'm going to give you a lot

3085
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:15,740
of Boomer updates.

3086
01:47:15,740 --> 01:47:17,180
I have a number of them.

3087
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:18,560
I'm complaining.

3088
01:47:18,940 --> 01:47:19,760
We got a number of them.

3089
01:47:23,260 --> 01:47:23,660
Boomers.

3090
01:47:24,980 --> 01:47:28,700
Check out my new Harley, baby.

3091
01:47:28,940 --> 01:47:29,360
Yeah, baby.

3092
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:35,160
One, two, three, Boomers.

3093
01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:37,880
Yeah, I'm now be called a Boomer everywhere.

3094
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:39,660
And in that whole thread, if you Boomer.

3095
01:47:40,240 --> 01:47:40,980
I saw that.

3096
01:47:41,020 --> 01:47:41,420
How insulting.

3097
01:47:41,420 --> 01:47:42,780
I saw you being called a Boomer.

3098
01:47:42,780 --> 01:47:44,120
That's so insulting.

3099
01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:46,580
Why is it insulting?

3100
01:47:46,780 --> 01:47:47,200
So what?

3101
01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:47,700
Who cares?

3102
01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:48,480
Because I'm not.

3103
01:47:48,580 --> 01:47:50,240
I am the face of Generation X.

3104
01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:52,400
They grew up with me.

3105
01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:54,600
Mr. Vain here.

3106
01:47:55,400 --> 01:47:55,920
Oh, yeah.

3107
01:47:56,080 --> 01:47:56,400
Oh, yeah.

3108
01:47:56,420 --> 01:47:57,180
I'm so vain.

3109
01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:00,800
You probably think this song is about you.

3110
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:01,920
Somebody clip that, please, and make it take.

3111
01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:02,620
You heard him.

3112
01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:03,080
You heard him.

3113
01:48:03,440 --> 01:48:05,160
You haven't asked Adam, seriously?

3114
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:06,640
I do have an ask Adam.

3115
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:12,720
This is a plug for a podcast, a

3116
01:48:12,720 --> 01:48:14,760
science podcast that NPR does.

3117
01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:16,460
And they drop a little bomb here at

3118
01:48:16,460 --> 01:48:17,320
the end, literally.

3119
01:48:17,820 --> 01:48:20,080
And I'm going to ask you about it.

3120
01:48:20,540 --> 01:48:24,360
Okay, first, we'll play the clip and then

3121
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:24,960
we'll play the jingle.

3122
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:27,560
This month, Shortwave is featuring a science and

3123
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:29,160
dog collab for the ages.

3124
01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:32,300
Because sometimes scientists need help and have to

3125
01:48:32,300 --> 01:48:34,460
call in dogs to get the research done.

3126
01:48:34,460 --> 01:48:37,240
Their powerful noses have earned some of them

3127
01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:40,500
a job as conservation detection dogs, helping biologists

3128
01:48:40,500 --> 01:48:42,040
sniff out things that are hidden or hard

3129
01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:43,920
to find, like whale poop in the ocean.

3130
01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:57,340
All right, I'm ready for the question.

3131
01:48:57,820 --> 01:48:58,640
That was the question.

3132
01:48:58,720 --> 01:48:59,380
It was right at the end.

3133
01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:03,100
Dogs can sense whale poop in the ocean.

3134
01:49:03,660 --> 01:49:05,920
Does a dog, can a dog smell in

3135
01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:06,400
the ocean?

3136
01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:07,820
Because you do it, you throw the dog

3137
01:49:07,820 --> 01:49:09,200
in the water and you say, oh, there's

3138
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:10,100
whale poop here.

3139
01:49:10,500 --> 01:49:11,540
How do they find it?

3140
01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:13,860
Do they sit next to the whale poop

3141
01:49:13,860 --> 01:49:15,580
and wag their tail and bark?

3142
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:16,580
What do they do?

3143
01:49:16,860 --> 01:49:19,220
How does a dog find whale poop in

3144
01:49:19,220 --> 01:49:19,620
the ocean?

3145
01:49:19,820 --> 01:49:22,240
Okay, so you not being the biologist that

3146
01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:26,140
I am, the boomer biologist, whale poop floats

3147
01:49:26,140 --> 01:49:26,960
to the surface.

3148
01:49:27,660 --> 01:49:29,480
So the dog can sniff it on the

3149
01:49:29,480 --> 01:49:30,480
surface of the ocean.

3150
01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:33,520
You've never swam in whale poop before?

3151
01:49:33,660 --> 01:49:34,400
I'm surprised.

3152
01:49:35,860 --> 01:49:38,320
Dog sniffs, what's a dog in the ocean?

3153
01:49:38,460 --> 01:49:39,620
What's the dog doing in the ocean?

3154
01:49:39,740 --> 01:49:41,080
No, the dog is standing on the shore

3155
01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:43,820
and he's on, he's on a boat.

3156
01:49:43,940 --> 01:49:44,660
He has a boat.

3157
01:49:44,860 --> 01:49:47,000
He's got, he's got a speedboat.

3158
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:48,080
You know this for a fact?

3159
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:49,280
No, of course not.

3160
01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:51,300
Why would I know?

3161
01:49:51,540 --> 01:49:52,800
It's like, I don't even know.

3162
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:54,440
I'm not even worried about the half court

3163
01:49:54,440 --> 01:49:54,940
business.

3164
01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:57,540
This is, this is you just going crazy.

3165
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,380
You're, you're disagreeing with media reports that are

3166
01:50:01,380 --> 01:50:02,740
insane to begin with.

3167
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:07,820
Well, if we're going to go there, I

3168
01:50:07,820 --> 01:50:08,700
have another one.

3169
01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:09,220
Please.

3170
01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:12,300
This is the WTF clip of the day.

3171
01:50:12,460 --> 01:50:15,820
This is my story about the D.C.

3172
01:50:15,920 --> 01:50:18,500
budget because they, Congress is, you know, they're

3173
01:50:18,500 --> 01:50:20,240
taking money away from here, there, and the

3174
01:50:20,240 --> 01:50:20,460
other.

3175
01:50:20,980 --> 01:50:23,380
And, and this report comes out and there's

3176
01:50:23,380 --> 01:50:25,180
a logical inconsistency here.

3177
01:50:25,260 --> 01:50:26,280
See if you can spot it.

3178
01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:29,160
The House of Representatives passed a funding measure

3179
01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:31,740
last night that, among other things, would cut

3180
01:50:31,740 --> 01:50:34,420
over $1 billion in D.C.'s budget.

3181
01:50:35,320 --> 01:50:37,600
WAMU's Jackson Sinnenberg has more.

3182
01:50:38,260 --> 01:50:41,080
The House's funding package, called a Continuing Resolution,

3183
01:50:41,300 --> 01:50:44,280
or CR, would keep government spending at 2024

3184
01:50:44,280 --> 01:50:45,640
levels through September.

3185
01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:48,060
The CR also took aim at D.C.'s

3186
01:50:48,060 --> 01:50:50,980
budget and restricted its spending to 2024 levels,

3187
01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:53,400
even though the district has been operating on

3188
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:55,940
a new 2025 budget for six months.

3189
01:50:56,220 --> 01:50:58,460
Mayor Muriel Bowser called the possible cuts a

3190
01:50:58,460 --> 01:51:00,360
$1.1 billion mistake.

3191
01:51:00,900 --> 01:51:03,000
That number is around 16 percent of D

3192
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:03,500
.C.'s budget.

3193
01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:07,080
On the House floor Tuesday, Representative Eleanor Holmes

3194
01:51:07,080 --> 01:51:09,220
Norton explained the impact of the budget cuts.

3195
01:51:09,460 --> 01:51:13,120
This cut will likely force D.C. to

3196
01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:17,180
immediately terminate programs that delay off or furlough

3197
01:51:17,180 --> 01:51:22,240
police officers, firefighters, other first responders and teachers.

3198
01:51:22,600 --> 01:51:24,600
She also highlighted how the funding cut appears

3199
01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:26,900
to roll back D.C.'s financial independence.

3200
01:51:27,180 --> 01:51:31,040
This cut does not save the federal government

3201
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:35,040
any money because D.C.'s local budget consists

3202
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:39,760
entirely of locally raised revenues such as taxes

3203
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:40,620
and fees.

3204
01:51:43,660 --> 01:51:44,380
Uh, okay.

3205
01:51:44,500 --> 01:51:48,180
Okay, so the budget cuts won't affect D

3206
01:51:48,180 --> 01:51:52,020
.C.'s budget because of taxes and fees, yet.

3207
01:51:53,320 --> 01:51:54,040
It's terrible.

3208
01:51:57,200 --> 01:51:57,920
It's Norton.

3209
01:51:58,460 --> 01:52:00,560
That old, I don't want to, I don't

3210
01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:01,780
want to say what I was thinking, but

3211
01:52:01,780 --> 01:52:01,920
she...

3212
01:52:01,920 --> 01:52:03,000
Well, you're going to say lesbian.

3213
01:52:03,220 --> 01:52:05,400
No, I just, she, no, she needs to

3214
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:05,500
know.

3215
01:52:05,500 --> 01:52:06,220
Yeah, that's what you're going to say.

3216
01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:07,880
No, no, I don't know if she's a

3217
01:52:07,880 --> 01:52:09,180
lesbian, but I met her and I was

3218
01:52:09,180 --> 01:52:09,880
not impressed.

3219
01:52:09,980 --> 01:52:11,300
I didn't like her at all.

3220
01:52:12,300 --> 01:52:14,760
That was during the Affordable Care Act, which

3221
01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:15,740
she was ramming through.

3222
01:52:15,900 --> 01:52:17,260
She was, she was a big leader in

3223
01:52:17,260 --> 01:52:17,740
all that.

3224
01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:19,580
Obamacare.

3225
01:52:20,460 --> 01:52:22,420
So I just don't like her in general.

3226
01:52:22,500 --> 01:52:23,660
And then she also has no vote.

3227
01:52:24,560 --> 01:52:25,700
I know, it's a joke.

3228
01:52:25,860 --> 01:52:28,160
She just gets to sit there and harp.

3229
01:52:29,280 --> 01:52:32,780
Speaking of, I don't know about you, but

3230
01:52:32,780 --> 01:52:34,660
I got a lot of notes from Canadians.

3231
01:52:35,020 --> 01:52:37,000
And which does, it first of all makes

3232
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:37,440
me very...

3233
01:52:37,440 --> 01:52:37,640
I did too.

3234
01:52:37,700 --> 01:52:39,180
I got a lot of notes from Canadians.

3235
01:52:39,180 --> 01:52:42,180
The Canadians are all jacked up about Carney.

3236
01:52:42,460 --> 01:52:44,980
Of course, this guy wasn't, this guy's, you

3237
01:52:44,980 --> 01:52:46,500
know, he's never been elected to anything.

3238
01:52:46,980 --> 01:52:48,240
Well, he's just a banker they put in

3239
01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:48,800
place.

3240
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:50,680
That's funny because I got other notes.

3241
01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:55,320
I think people think they're emailing you, but

3242
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:58,080
they email me and they're mad.

3243
01:52:58,760 --> 01:52:59,140
At me?

3244
01:52:59,580 --> 01:53:01,800
Well, at us, I guess.

3245
01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:04,300
Because we're like, oh, you know, a lot

3246
01:53:04,300 --> 01:53:07,040
of Canadians, they like this 51st state idea.

3247
01:53:07,040 --> 01:53:09,620
Whoa, talk about a third rail.

3248
01:53:09,860 --> 01:53:12,440
I don't want to be a 51st state.

3249
01:53:15,500 --> 01:53:18,280
I got a note from some Canadians and

3250
01:53:18,280 --> 01:53:22,920
they agreed saying that Canada not only doesn't

3251
01:53:22,920 --> 01:53:24,300
want to be a 51st state, but they

3252
01:53:24,300 --> 01:53:24,980
shouldn't be.

3253
01:53:25,180 --> 01:53:26,980
They said, one guy said, you know, you're

3254
01:53:26,980 --> 01:53:28,240
just going to get a bunch of more

3255
01:53:28,240 --> 01:53:30,340
Democrat voters because they're the worst.

3256
01:53:30,620 --> 01:53:32,460
Well, you don't want Canada in the United

3257
01:53:32,460 --> 01:53:32,920
States.

3258
01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:35,740
The main note I got was about the

3259
01:53:35,740 --> 01:53:36,840
tariffs on dairy.

3260
01:53:37,740 --> 01:53:39,940
And I think there was some correct information

3261
01:53:39,940 --> 01:53:40,240
here.

3262
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:42,800
They said, you know, when it comes to

3263
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:47,320
your milk, the tariffs only kick in above

3264
01:53:47,320 --> 01:53:48,380
a certain quota.

3265
01:53:49,140 --> 01:53:50,940
But then every single one, let me see

3266
01:53:50,940 --> 01:53:52,100
if I can get a good example.

3267
01:53:53,000 --> 01:53:55,680
Every single one of them said, we don't

3268
01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:56,580
want your milk.

3269
01:53:56,760 --> 01:53:57,960
It's gross.

3270
01:53:58,900 --> 01:54:00,020
It's horrible.

3271
01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:01,820
It's filled with crap.

3272
01:54:01,820 --> 01:54:03,640
We don't want your milk.

3273
01:54:03,700 --> 01:54:05,180
The only thing we might want is some

3274
01:54:05,180 --> 01:54:06,780
of that cheese from Wisconsin.

3275
01:54:09,340 --> 01:54:10,340
Yeah, you didn't get those.

3276
01:54:10,660 --> 01:54:11,840
California makes good cheese, too.

3277
01:54:12,480 --> 01:54:13,020
Let me see.

3278
01:54:13,180 --> 01:54:15,120
The reason why us Canadians protect our dairy

3279
01:54:15,120 --> 01:54:17,440
is because American milk is effing gross.

3280
01:54:17,720 --> 01:54:20,700
It's full of chemicals, hormones, antibiotic and nonsense.

3281
01:54:21,200 --> 01:54:23,820
Modern America is synonymous with cutting corners these

3282
01:54:23,820 --> 01:54:26,740
days, it seems, due to late stage capitalism.

3283
01:54:27,100 --> 01:54:29,860
Plus, Americans feed chicken shit to cows.

3284
01:54:30,540 --> 01:54:34,640
Communists wrote you there, late stage capitalism.

3285
01:54:35,640 --> 01:54:37,880
Plus, Americans feed chicken shit to cows.

3286
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:39,280
This is why you have bird flu in

3287
01:54:39,280 --> 01:54:40,780
your cattle and Canada doesn't.

3288
01:54:41,020 --> 01:54:43,280
Our food laws are vastly more stringent and

3289
01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:45,200
most of our food isn't poisoned due to

3290
01:54:45,200 --> 01:54:47,000
the fact our health care is socialized.

3291
01:54:47,340 --> 01:54:48,860
It is our best interest to keep people

3292
01:54:48,860 --> 01:54:52,480
healthy, to cost the country as little as

3293
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:52,880
possible.

3294
01:54:53,200 --> 01:54:55,200
We got slapped with mad cow back in

3295
01:54:55,200 --> 01:54:57,060
the day and we banned feeding any animal

3296
01:54:57,060 --> 01:54:58,880
byproducts to animals pretty much.

3297
01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:02,900
And so this person should have done it

3298
01:55:02,900 --> 01:55:04,240
with a Canadian accent.

3299
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:05,420
Do we want guns?

3300
01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:06,140
Hey, sure.

3301
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:08,680
Do I want American self-freedom?

3302
01:55:08,740 --> 01:55:09,520
I can't do a Canadian.

3303
01:55:09,680 --> 01:55:11,940
Sure, I wouldn't mind becoming American for the

3304
01:55:11,940 --> 01:55:12,480
right reasons.

3305
01:55:12,580 --> 01:55:14,380
But this Trump shit has got to stop.

3306
01:55:14,780 --> 01:55:16,920
Canada did nothing wrong except agreed to a

3307
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:18,260
trade deal that Trump designed.

3308
01:55:18,560 --> 01:55:20,740
We do have tariffs on American dairy, but

3309
01:55:20,740 --> 01:55:22,340
they only kick in after a certain dollar

3310
01:55:22,340 --> 01:55:23,900
value, which has never been reached.

3311
01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:26,860
Canadians do not want American dairy because all

3312
01:55:26,860 --> 01:55:28,760
we know is it's garbage.

3313
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:33,020
And so I, actually, this is a nice

3314
01:55:33,020 --> 01:55:35,860
guy who I emailed back and I said,

3315
01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:38,060
you know, you should want to be our

3316
01:55:38,060 --> 01:55:39,700
51st state so you could teach us how

3317
01:55:39,700 --> 01:55:41,420
to make better dairy and we'd give you

3318
01:55:41,420 --> 01:55:41,860
guns.

3319
01:55:42,600 --> 01:55:43,580
And he agreed.

3320
01:55:43,700 --> 01:55:44,600
He said, yeah, that'd be kind of a

3321
01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:45,020
cool deal.

3322
01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:48,040
They just came out with a new gun

3323
01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:48,400
thing.

3324
01:55:51,120 --> 01:55:53,860
There's a new gun restriction in Canada.

3325
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:56,740
They must be worried about something.

3326
01:55:57,060 --> 01:55:58,820
But I think Canada is just too diverse.

3327
01:55:59,460 --> 01:56:01,860
You know, you can't say Canada is like,

3328
01:56:02,120 --> 01:56:02,980
you know, America.

3329
01:56:03,200 --> 01:56:04,260
We're kind of the same.

3330
01:56:04,360 --> 01:56:05,240
We have our differences.

3331
01:56:06,060 --> 01:56:07,480
But you got the French Canadians.

3332
01:56:07,740 --> 01:56:09,520
You got the Canadians on the East Coast.

3333
01:56:09,660 --> 01:56:11,300
Canadians are very, very different.

3334
01:56:12,580 --> 01:56:14,160
So do we want them?

3335
01:56:14,360 --> 01:56:15,220
I mean, President Trump.

3336
01:56:15,360 --> 01:56:17,260
No, we don't want the Canadians.

3337
01:56:17,580 --> 01:56:19,060
President Trump keeps saying it.

3338
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:21,100
He just says it to gall them.

3339
01:56:21,220 --> 01:56:23,200
He knows it gets attention.

3340
01:56:23,660 --> 01:56:25,560
What we really want is Greenland.

3341
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:26,620
I think that's serious.

3342
01:56:27,180 --> 01:56:29,800
Well, Greenland is a possibility after the results

3343
01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:30,340
of the vote.

3344
01:56:30,540 --> 01:56:33,560
Late night celebrations at the Democratic Party headquarters

3345
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:34,760
in Nuuk, Greenland.

3346
01:56:35,080 --> 01:56:37,540
The center-right opposition party took a surprise

3347
01:56:37,540 --> 01:56:40,420
first place in the general election, garnering almost

3348
01:56:40,420 --> 01:56:42,440
30% of the vote compared to 9

3349
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:43,680
% in 2021.

3350
01:56:45,260 --> 01:56:48,280
I'm overwhelmed and I'm very, very, very happy.

3351
01:56:50,610 --> 01:56:52,530
The party is known for its pro-business

3352
01:56:52,530 --> 01:56:54,990
policies and for backing a long and gradual

3353
01:56:54,990 --> 01:56:56,990
process towards Greenland's independence.

3354
01:56:56,990 --> 01:57:00,850
In second place, the Nalarok Party, who campaigned

3355
01:57:00,850 --> 01:57:02,970
on a promise of rapid independence from Denmark,

3356
01:57:03,470 --> 01:57:05,130
doubled their share of the vote to nearly

3357
01:57:05,130 --> 01:57:05,630
25%.

3358
01:57:06,210 --> 01:57:08,390
We have to be able to cooperate with

3359
01:57:08,390 --> 01:57:09,450
other parties as well.

3360
01:57:09,610 --> 01:57:11,330
And I do believe, as we have seen

3361
01:57:11,330 --> 01:57:13,570
for now, people want change.

3362
01:57:13,850 --> 01:57:17,310
People are mostly not voting for what have

3363
01:57:17,310 --> 01:57:17,630
been.

3364
01:57:18,270 --> 01:57:21,230
So no matter what kind of government that's

3365
01:57:21,230 --> 01:57:25,290
created tomorrow, I do hope solemnly that it

3366
01:57:25,290 --> 01:57:27,010
will be for the better and for a

3367
01:57:27,010 --> 01:57:28,590
change that people want to see.

3368
01:57:28,970 --> 01:57:32,770
The Inuit, Atakachijuts and Suomid parties, who make

3369
01:57:32,770 --> 01:57:35,310
up the current ruling coalition, saw a significant

3370
01:57:35,310 --> 01:57:37,830
drop in support, coming in third and fourth

3371
01:57:37,830 --> 01:57:38,410
respectively.

3372
01:57:39,010 --> 01:57:41,170
The two parties have dominated politics on the

3373
01:57:41,170 --> 01:57:42,130
island in recent years.

3374
01:57:42,370 --> 01:57:44,510
The Democratic Party must now look to other

3375
01:57:44,510 --> 01:57:46,510
parties to form a majority in the 31

3376
01:57:46,510 --> 01:57:47,310
-seat parliament.

3377
01:57:47,770 --> 01:57:49,770
The government that is formed is expected to

3378
01:57:49,770 --> 01:57:51,290
map out a path to independence.

3379
01:57:51,290 --> 01:57:54,550
The US president's efforts to acquire the mineral

3380
01:57:54,550 --> 01:57:57,650
-rich territory shone an international spotlight on the

3381
01:57:57,650 --> 01:57:58,050
elections.

3382
01:57:58,610 --> 01:58:01,250
And election officials in the capital Nuuk had

3383
01:58:01,250 --> 01:58:03,730
to keep polling stations open longer to accommodate

3384
01:58:03,730 --> 01:58:04,790
the large voter turnout.

3385
01:58:05,170 --> 01:58:07,330
Though independence was not on the ballot, it

3386
01:58:07,330 --> 01:58:08,630
was on voters' minds.

3387
01:58:09,070 --> 01:58:11,330
A majority of Greenlanders and four out of

3388
01:58:11,330 --> 01:58:14,150
the five parties running support independence, though there

3389
01:58:14,150 --> 01:58:15,930
is plenty of disagreement on what a break

3390
01:58:15,930 --> 01:58:17,210
with Denmark would look like.

3391
01:58:17,610 --> 01:58:19,110
Well, I think this is interesting.

3392
01:58:19,110 --> 01:58:21,690
This was kind of unexpected, according to the

3393
01:58:21,690 --> 01:58:22,230
insiders.

3394
01:58:23,270 --> 01:58:23,410
Yeah.

3395
01:58:23,570 --> 01:58:27,250
They didn't expect the center right to actually

3396
01:58:27,250 --> 01:58:28,750
take this one.

3397
01:58:29,490 --> 01:58:30,510
How many people are in there?

3398
01:58:30,570 --> 01:58:32,150
56,000 live in Greenland?

3399
01:58:32,150 --> 01:58:32,990
Yeah, some 56, 57.

3400
01:58:32,990 --> 01:58:33,690
How about this?

3401
01:58:33,970 --> 01:58:34,490
How about this?

3402
01:58:34,750 --> 01:58:36,190
We are, we're going to give you all

3403
01:58:36,190 --> 01:58:37,570
a Tesla Cybertruck.

3404
01:58:39,050 --> 01:58:40,510
Well, I don't know about that.

3405
01:58:40,610 --> 01:58:41,990
I don't know how their electricity is doing

3406
01:58:41,990 --> 01:58:42,210
there.

3407
01:58:42,310 --> 01:58:44,670
But I would say, if you say, we're

3408
01:58:44,670 --> 01:58:46,190
going to give each one of you 100

3409
01:58:46,190 --> 01:58:49,190
,000 bucks, cash.

3410
01:58:49,390 --> 01:58:50,570
A thousand bucks.

3411
01:58:51,370 --> 01:58:51,810
Tomorrow.

3412
01:58:52,190 --> 01:58:53,410
A thousand bucks.

3413
01:58:53,710 --> 01:58:54,450
A hundred thousand.

3414
01:58:54,650 --> 01:58:55,410
Oh, a hundred thousand.

3415
01:58:55,510 --> 01:58:56,430
Oh, that changes it.

3416
01:58:56,670 --> 01:58:58,470
And, and you, you become American.

3417
01:58:59,050 --> 01:59:02,070
So you get your MAGA hat, you get

3418
01:59:02,070 --> 01:59:02,510
your gun.

3419
01:59:03,070 --> 01:59:04,930
And you got a hundred thousand in cash.

3420
01:59:05,170 --> 01:59:05,610
Right.

3421
01:59:06,010 --> 01:59:06,910
A stable coin.

3422
01:59:07,070 --> 01:59:07,570
Or stock.

3423
01:59:07,830 --> 01:59:08,270
Stable coin.

3424
01:59:08,350 --> 01:59:09,010
Stable coin.

3425
01:59:09,450 --> 01:59:10,990
You get some stable coin.

3426
01:59:11,590 --> 01:59:12,030
Yeah.

3427
01:59:12,250 --> 01:59:13,530
Well, you might as well, I mean, come

3428
01:59:13,530 --> 01:59:13,790
on.

3429
01:59:14,330 --> 01:59:15,470
You might as well see if you can

3430
01:59:15,470 --> 01:59:16,090
rip them off.

3431
01:59:16,150 --> 01:59:17,070
That's the American way.

3432
01:59:17,690 --> 01:59:19,670
But if we do have a backup plan

3433
01:59:19,670 --> 01:59:24,310
for minerals, apparently we're close to maybe even

3434
01:59:24,310 --> 01:59:25,570
talking to the Congo.

3435
01:59:25,990 --> 01:59:28,370
Well, the US says that it is open

3436
01:59:28,370 --> 01:59:30,910
to exploring a potential partnership with DR Congo

3437
01:59:30,910 --> 01:59:33,030
to gain access to the country's critical minerals.

3438
01:59:33,610 --> 01:59:35,530
Kinshasa pitched the deal to Washington in the

3439
01:59:35,530 --> 01:59:38,590
hope of winning diplomatic support as Rwanda-backed

3440
01:59:38,590 --> 01:59:41,630
M23 rebels continue to consolidate their hold over

3441
01:59:41,630 --> 01:59:44,470
key parts of the east of DR Congo.

3442
01:59:44,470 --> 01:59:46,550
Emmett Livingston's in Kinshasa.

3443
01:59:46,790 --> 01:59:47,470
He tells us more.

3444
01:59:47,930 --> 01:59:50,110
The Congolese government is offering a deal on

3445
01:59:50,110 --> 01:59:52,730
critical minerals, such as cobalt and lithium, to

3446
01:59:52,730 --> 01:59:56,090
the Trump administration, hoping for diplomatic support against

3447
01:59:56,090 --> 01:59:57,810
M23 rebels and Rwanda.

3448
01:59:58,230 --> 02:00:01,450
Since January, M23 and Rwandan forces have captured

3449
02:00:01,450 --> 02:00:03,150
eastern Congo's two largest cities.

3450
02:00:03,410 --> 02:00:05,810
But the diplomatic response has been largely symbolic.

3451
02:00:06,390 --> 02:00:07,770
Congo's army in the east can no longer

3452
02:00:07,770 --> 02:00:08,290
fight back.

3453
02:00:08,590 --> 02:00:10,350
It's mostly been destroyed or run away.

3454
02:00:10,350 --> 02:00:13,630
Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi is now trying to

3455
02:00:13,630 --> 02:00:16,290
leverage his country's enormous mineral wealth in order

3456
02:00:16,290 --> 02:00:17,390
to win American support.

3457
02:00:17,990 --> 02:00:20,310
Tshisekedi confirmed that he was seeking a minerals

3458
02:00:20,310 --> 02:00:23,270
deal last month, and his spokeswoman recently told

3459
02:00:23,270 --> 02:00:24,730
us that discussions were advancing.

3460
02:00:25,170 --> 02:00:27,830
But without commenting on the details, Congo has

3461
02:00:27,830 --> 02:00:30,530
the world's largest reserves of cobalt, a metal

3462
02:00:30,530 --> 02:00:31,850
used to manufacture batteries.

3463
02:00:32,110 --> 02:00:34,570
It also has massive reserves of copper and

3464
02:00:34,570 --> 02:00:34,910
lithium.

3465
02:00:35,470 --> 02:00:38,330
The Congolese presidency says the US administration is

3466
02:00:38,330 --> 02:00:41,230
considering its proposal seriously, an account that the

3467
02:00:41,230 --> 02:00:43,610
US State Department also recently confirmed.

3468
02:00:44,090 --> 02:00:45,350
But it's not clear how a deal might

3469
02:00:45,350 --> 02:00:45,670
work.

3470
02:00:46,070 --> 02:00:48,010
Most of the important mining sites are owned

3471
02:00:48,010 --> 02:00:50,130
already, for the most part by Chinese companies.

3472
02:00:50,570 --> 02:00:52,630
And despite years of trying to coerce American

3473
02:00:52,630 --> 02:00:55,330
business, Congo still struggles with a reputation of

3474
02:00:55,330 --> 02:00:57,790
being deeply corrupt and a risky place to

3475
02:00:57,790 --> 02:00:58,150
invest.

3476
02:00:58,310 --> 02:00:59,430
That's our kind of place.

3477
02:01:00,030 --> 02:01:00,390
Yeah.

3478
02:01:00,630 --> 02:01:02,550
Deeply corrupt, risky to invest.

3479
02:01:02,830 --> 02:01:03,750
This is us.

3480
02:01:03,850 --> 02:01:04,790
This is what we like.

3481
02:01:05,070 --> 02:01:06,610
Give those people some stablecoin.

3482
02:01:07,850 --> 02:01:09,030
You're good to go.

3483
02:01:10,050 --> 02:01:10,490
Yeah.

3484
02:01:11,030 --> 02:01:12,730
But the Chinese, though, they won't be happy

3485
02:01:12,730 --> 02:01:13,190
with it.

3486
02:01:14,270 --> 02:01:15,790
Yeah, but they bail out pretty quickly.

3487
02:01:15,950 --> 02:01:18,010
If you remember, the one thing that always

3488
02:01:18,010 --> 02:01:19,930
kind of sticks in my mind is if

3489
02:01:19,930 --> 02:01:22,890
you remember the Chinese were moving into Libya.

3490
02:01:23,690 --> 02:01:27,110
Oh, yeah, they hit the high road real

3491
02:01:27,110 --> 02:01:29,770
quick when we came in and started killing

3492
02:01:29,770 --> 02:01:29,870
people.

3493
02:01:29,870 --> 02:01:30,630
All of a sudden, we got to get

3494
02:01:30,630 --> 02:01:32,490
rid of Gaddafi for some unknown reason.

3495
02:01:32,630 --> 02:01:34,590
Well, because of the coin, possibly.

3496
02:01:34,590 --> 02:01:36,830
But it was a NATO operation.

3497
02:01:36,990 --> 02:01:39,950
NATO being the defensive operation that it is,

3498
02:01:40,010 --> 02:01:42,110
had to go on the offense and attack

3499
02:01:42,110 --> 02:01:42,530
Libya.

3500
02:01:44,930 --> 02:01:46,450
That was the Hillary Clinton NATO.

3501
02:01:46,450 --> 02:01:47,630
That was a Clinton op.

3502
02:01:47,810 --> 02:01:48,710
Yeah, it was a total Clinton op.

3503
02:01:48,710 --> 02:01:50,250
And so they go in there, and there's

3504
02:01:50,250 --> 02:01:52,870
the Chinese developing there, and they all bailed

3505
02:01:52,870 --> 02:01:54,470
out and left a bunch of property just

3506
02:01:54,470 --> 02:01:55,030
sitting there.

3507
02:01:55,610 --> 02:01:57,110
They just ran for the hills.

3508
02:01:57,410 --> 02:01:58,630
Chinese seem to do that.

3509
02:01:58,670 --> 02:02:00,790
Do you remember when Gaddafi came to the

3510
02:02:00,790 --> 02:02:02,410
UN in New York, and Trump let him

3511
02:02:02,410 --> 02:02:05,150
set up his yurt on his lawn?

3512
02:02:05,450 --> 02:02:07,270
Yeah, he set up his tent city.

3513
02:02:07,370 --> 02:02:08,510
Yeah, it was great.

3514
02:02:09,010 --> 02:02:10,470
On one of Trump's properties.

3515
02:02:10,570 --> 02:02:11,670
That was good times, man.

3516
02:02:12,010 --> 02:02:13,590
Back in the day when everyone was just

3517
02:02:13,590 --> 02:02:17,830
kind of cool, now we're all so mad

3518
02:02:17,830 --> 02:02:18,650
about everything.

3519
02:02:19,150 --> 02:02:20,130
Social media.

3520
02:02:20,810 --> 02:02:23,890
You know, when, actually, I have the clip

3521
02:02:23,890 --> 02:02:24,210
here.

3522
02:02:25,110 --> 02:02:28,290
I was kind of happy when I heard

3523
02:02:28,290 --> 02:02:29,070
this report.

3524
02:02:29,070 --> 02:02:31,150
You might have noticed yesterday that Elon Musk's

3525
02:02:31,150 --> 02:02:32,810
X was down for a while.

3526
02:02:33,010 --> 02:02:33,570
It's pretty annoying.

3527
02:02:33,750 --> 02:02:34,810
I was trying to use it to prepare

3528
02:02:34,810 --> 02:02:35,370
for the show.

3529
02:02:35,850 --> 02:02:38,510
Here's Musk on Kudlow's show discussing the situation.

3530
02:02:38,990 --> 02:02:41,670
There was a cyber attack on X today,

3531
02:02:41,790 --> 02:02:43,470
which shut it down and may have been

3532
02:02:43,470 --> 02:02:44,370
foreign sourced.

3533
02:02:44,670 --> 02:02:45,690
It's a big story.

3534
02:02:45,750 --> 02:02:46,870
You want to give us a moment on

3535
02:02:46,870 --> 02:02:47,130
that?

3536
02:02:48,710 --> 02:02:50,610
Well, we're not sure exactly what happened, but

3537
02:02:50,610 --> 02:02:53,210
there was a massive cyber attack to try

3538
02:02:53,210 --> 02:02:56,410
to bring down the X system with IP

3539
02:02:56,410 --> 02:02:58,770
addresses originating in the Ukraine area.

3540
02:02:59,590 --> 02:03:01,570
Well, so that's your suspicion.

3541
02:03:01,830 --> 02:03:04,030
Is the website, is the Internet up?

3542
02:03:04,190 --> 02:03:04,930
Is it up yet?

3543
02:03:05,110 --> 02:03:05,290
It's up.

3544
02:03:05,450 --> 02:03:05,770
Is the Internet up?

3545
02:03:05,770 --> 02:03:06,470
Okay, good.

3546
02:03:06,770 --> 02:03:08,770
Earlier in the day, Musk tweeted the following.

3547
02:03:09,450 --> 02:03:11,410
There was, still is, a massive cyber attack

3548
02:03:11,410 --> 02:03:12,070
against X.

3549
02:03:12,130 --> 02:03:13,570
We get attacked every day, but this was

3550
02:03:13,570 --> 02:03:14,650
done with a lot of resources.

3551
02:03:14,810 --> 02:03:17,050
Either a large coordinated group and or a

3552
02:03:17,050 --> 02:03:18,570
country is involved.

3553
02:03:19,230 --> 02:03:22,410
According to a Telegram post, though, pro-Palestinian

3554
02:03:22,410 --> 02:03:26,010
cyber hacking group Dark Storm Team took credit

3555
02:03:26,010 --> 02:03:26,750
for the attack.

3556
02:03:26,750 --> 02:03:30,590
Also, cyber attackers sometimes use fake or inaccurate

3557
02:03:30,590 --> 02:03:33,030
IP addresses to make them harder to trace,

3558
02:03:33,410 --> 02:03:35,510
meaning that the attackers might not have been

3559
02:03:35,510 --> 02:03:36,110
in Ukraine.

3560
02:03:36,450 --> 02:03:38,490
Tesla's shares also fell by more than 15

3561
02:03:38,490 --> 02:03:40,770
% yesterday, which was the lowest since before

3562
02:03:40,770 --> 02:03:41,370
election day.

3563
02:03:41,710 --> 02:03:43,790
There have also been protests around the country

3564
02:03:43,790 --> 02:03:45,790
and in Europe against Musk and Tesla.

3565
02:03:46,350 --> 02:03:48,410
Police say there have been instances of vandalism,

3566
02:03:48,790 --> 02:03:50,030
arson and gunshots.

3567
02:03:51,230 --> 02:03:54,030
Yeah, you know, I'd be fine.

3568
02:03:54,030 --> 02:03:56,230
I'd be fine if all social media got

3569
02:03:56,230 --> 02:03:56,910
DDoS'd.

3570
02:03:56,910 --> 02:03:57,890
Just take it all down.

3571
02:03:58,170 --> 02:03:59,150
People would know what to do.

3572
02:03:59,230 --> 02:04:00,770
They'd be walking outside like zombies.

3573
02:04:00,950 --> 02:04:02,670
Like, what is this?

3574
02:04:02,890 --> 02:04:04,030
They're looking at their phones.

3575
02:04:04,670 --> 02:04:05,850
Where's my feed?

3576
02:04:06,070 --> 02:04:06,510
I don't know.

3577
02:04:06,570 --> 02:04:07,350
There's no feed.

3578
02:04:07,410 --> 02:04:08,330
It would be so good.

3579
02:04:08,330 --> 02:04:09,810
Maybe somebody texted me.

3580
02:04:09,890 --> 02:04:11,050
Let me see if I can find a

3581
02:04:11,050 --> 02:04:11,190
text.

3582
02:04:11,190 --> 02:04:12,790
Whatever happened to the good old days of

3583
02:04:12,790 --> 02:04:13,750
the Internet worm?

3584
02:04:15,490 --> 02:04:16,250
Remember that one?

3585
02:04:16,350 --> 02:04:18,150
Yeah, yeah, the Internet worm.

3586
02:04:18,350 --> 02:04:19,610
That was, I remember that.

3587
02:04:19,670 --> 02:04:20,750
That was a great day.

3588
02:04:22,070 --> 02:04:24,770
People don't remember that, but I guess that

3589
02:04:24,770 --> 02:04:28,210
was the first large-scale cyber issue.

3590
02:04:29,550 --> 02:04:32,010
And the Internet worm, it replicated and it

3591
02:04:32,010 --> 02:04:33,850
went through all the servers and everybody got

3592
02:04:33,850 --> 02:04:34,830
all clogged up.

3593
02:04:35,070 --> 02:04:37,650
And this is before the web, though, wasn't

3594
02:04:37,650 --> 02:04:37,830
it?

3595
02:04:38,450 --> 02:04:39,250
I think so.

3596
02:04:39,770 --> 02:04:40,950
This was a story that was broken.

3597
02:04:41,410 --> 02:04:43,190
Actually, it was John Markoff that broke this

3598
02:04:43,190 --> 02:04:45,690
story for the New York Times when he

3599
02:04:45,690 --> 02:04:46,810
first got over there.

3600
02:04:47,250 --> 02:04:50,290
And it was such a fabulous story that

3601
02:04:50,290 --> 02:04:51,890
they took him off the story.

3602
02:04:52,670 --> 02:04:53,030
1988.

3603
02:04:53,790 --> 02:04:55,750
The Morris worm is what it was called.

3604
02:04:55,790 --> 02:04:56,550
Yeah, the Morris worm.

3605
02:04:56,690 --> 02:04:58,130
They took him off the story and put

3606
02:04:58,130 --> 02:05:00,290
a more experienced reporter on so that he

3607
02:05:00,290 --> 02:05:01,410
could get an award.

3608
02:05:01,830 --> 02:05:02,490
Oh, really?

3609
02:05:03,090 --> 02:05:05,050
That's how the corruption works in the mainstream

3610
02:05:05,050 --> 02:05:05,530
media.

3611
02:05:06,070 --> 02:05:07,970
And, of course, I've always, I gave him

3612
02:05:07,970 --> 02:05:09,170
grief about this for years.

3613
02:05:09,310 --> 02:05:10,670
About, yeah, you got taken off the story

3614
02:05:10,670 --> 02:05:12,690
so that somebody else could win a Pulitzer.

3615
02:05:12,850 --> 02:05:14,530
You could have gotten one good because you're

3616
02:05:14,530 --> 02:05:15,970
not going to go into the New York

3617
02:05:15,970 --> 02:05:17,550
Times early.

3618
02:05:17,710 --> 02:05:19,370
Like, this was like his first year there

3619
02:05:19,370 --> 02:05:20,890
and get a Pulitzer.

3620
02:05:20,990 --> 02:05:21,770
You can't do that.

3621
02:05:21,770 --> 02:05:23,030
That's against the rules.

3622
02:05:23,790 --> 02:05:26,150
And so they took him off the Morris

3623
02:05:26,150 --> 02:05:26,390
worm.

3624
02:05:26,510 --> 02:05:29,690
And then they also, the story that never

3625
02:05:29,690 --> 02:05:31,850
came out, except I think I've mentioned it

3626
02:05:31,850 --> 02:05:35,750
before, is that they changed his copy.

3627
02:05:37,730 --> 02:05:42,410
Because during his discussion of the, Morris was

3628
02:05:42,410 --> 02:05:44,530
the kid, I think, of a professor or

3629
02:05:44,530 --> 02:05:44,690
something.

3630
02:05:44,710 --> 02:05:47,790
Went to the professors and he was doing

3631
02:05:47,790 --> 02:05:49,850
color on describing the scene.

3632
02:05:49,850 --> 02:05:53,390
And there was a bunch of Russian writing

3633
02:05:53,390 --> 02:05:56,750
on the blackboard that had something to do

3634
02:05:56,750 --> 02:05:57,210
with something.

3635
02:05:57,950 --> 02:05:59,610
And they had to take, they had to

3636
02:05:59,610 --> 02:06:01,190
excise the CIA.

3637
02:06:01,350 --> 02:06:03,090
If somebody told him, no, you can't mention

3638
02:06:03,090 --> 02:06:04,510
that this guy's doing any work with the

3639
02:06:04,510 --> 02:06:05,250
Russians or something.

3640
02:06:05,350 --> 02:06:06,470
It was some screwy thing.

3641
02:06:06,970 --> 02:06:08,570
And he never figured out why they had

3642
02:06:08,570 --> 02:06:09,970
to take that paragraph out.

3643
02:06:10,050 --> 02:06:12,690
But this is another use of the mainstream

3644
02:06:12,690 --> 02:06:15,910
media being a front for the intelligence operations.

3645
02:06:16,110 --> 02:06:17,550
Well, I liked it when we called it

3646
02:06:17,550 --> 02:06:18,010
the worm.

3647
02:06:18,010 --> 02:06:19,890
I think it was better than, you know,

3648
02:06:20,150 --> 02:06:21,430
a virus.

3649
02:06:21,730 --> 02:06:22,450
I like worm.

3650
02:06:23,190 --> 02:06:24,970
It was different than a virus.

3651
02:06:25,550 --> 02:06:27,310
It was created by, well, not really.

3652
02:06:27,430 --> 02:06:28,610
Robert Tappan Morris.

3653
02:06:28,830 --> 02:06:30,550
And the way it worked was it exploited

3654
02:06:30,550 --> 02:06:32,890
a hole in the debug mode of the

3655
02:06:32,890 --> 02:06:34,570
Unix send mail program.

3656
02:06:34,570 --> 02:06:37,650
So it did spread virally through send mail.

3657
02:06:37,890 --> 02:06:41,890
It then exploited a buffer overflow hole in

3658
02:06:41,890 --> 02:06:43,610
the finger network service.

3659
02:06:43,970 --> 02:06:44,690
Who remembers that?

3660
02:06:45,370 --> 02:06:45,990
It self-propagated.

3661
02:06:45,990 --> 02:06:46,370
Yeah.

3662
02:06:47,550 --> 02:06:51,490
Well, yeah, I think it's still a worm

3663
02:06:51,490 --> 02:06:51,930
type.

3664
02:06:52,270 --> 02:06:54,230
We can call it, I think it's more

3665
02:06:54,230 --> 02:06:55,190
of a worm than a virus.

3666
02:06:55,430 --> 02:06:58,970
Viruses are something that are spread through file

3667
02:06:58,970 --> 02:07:02,590
sharing and which brings us to the tip

3668
02:07:02,590 --> 02:07:03,570
of the day for later today.

3669
02:07:03,850 --> 02:07:05,090
Oh, well, before we get to the tip

3670
02:07:05,090 --> 02:07:06,770
of the day, why don't we go to

3671
02:07:06,770 --> 02:07:09,090
this where I thank you for your courage

3672
02:07:09,090 --> 02:07:10,210
and say in the morning to you, the

3673
02:07:10,210 --> 02:07:12,110
man who put the sea on your half

3674
02:07:12,110 --> 02:07:12,650
of the court.

3675
02:07:12,990 --> 02:07:14,210
Say hello to my friend on the other

3676
02:07:14,210 --> 02:07:14,350
end.

3677
02:07:14,350 --> 02:07:16,450
The one, the only Mr. John C.

3678
02:07:16,850 --> 02:07:17,130
DeMora.

3679
02:07:19,670 --> 02:07:20,990
Say hello in the morning to you, the

3680
02:07:20,990 --> 02:07:21,270
fam.

3681
02:07:21,410 --> 02:07:21,910
Curry in the morning.

3682
02:07:21,970 --> 02:07:23,210
All ships, sea boots to the ground, fit

3683
02:07:23,210 --> 02:07:24,210
in the air, subs in the water, and

3684
02:07:24,210 --> 02:07:25,090
the name's nice out there.

3685
02:07:25,150 --> 02:07:26,430
In the morning to the trolls in the

3686
02:07:26,430 --> 02:07:26,830
troll room.

3687
02:07:26,970 --> 02:07:28,390
Stand by trolls, I'm going to count you.

3688
02:07:28,530 --> 02:07:29,710
Here we go, here we go, here we

3689
02:07:29,710 --> 02:07:30,470
go, here we go.

3690
02:07:33,670 --> 02:07:34,930
It's spring break, isn't it?

3691
02:07:34,950 --> 02:07:35,710
It's spring break.

3692
02:07:35,870 --> 02:07:36,690
That's what's going on.

3693
02:07:36,790 --> 02:07:37,350
Spring break.

3694
02:07:38,370 --> 02:07:39,510
Did you know it's spring break?

3695
02:07:40,450 --> 02:07:42,030
Why is it spring break?

3696
02:07:42,230 --> 02:07:43,490
Because that's what happens.

3697
02:07:43,490 --> 02:07:44,470
It's spring break.

3698
02:07:45,190 --> 02:07:46,170
It's not spring.

3699
02:07:46,470 --> 02:07:49,230
But it's spring break, I know, because Fredericksburg

3700
02:07:49,230 --> 02:07:50,610
is filled with loonies.

3701
02:07:52,150 --> 02:07:54,950
I went to play chess on Tuesday.

3702
02:07:55,630 --> 02:07:56,710
You went to play chess?

3703
02:07:56,890 --> 02:07:58,650
Yeah, I played chess with Willie at Java

3704
02:07:58,650 --> 02:07:59,110
Ranch.

3705
02:07:59,750 --> 02:08:01,770
Do you have a timer and you slam

3706
02:08:01,770 --> 02:08:02,810
your hand on it and when you make

3707
02:08:02,810 --> 02:08:03,230
a move?

3708
02:08:03,410 --> 02:08:06,410
No, no, no, no.

3709
02:08:06,670 --> 02:08:08,110
Willie is a cool dude though.

3710
02:08:08,670 --> 02:08:11,070
I met him at church and I thought,

3711
02:08:11,070 --> 02:08:12,790
I thought, wow, this guy's retarded.

3712
02:08:13,490 --> 02:08:14,710
When I sat next to him, he told

3713
02:08:14,710 --> 02:08:15,530
me his whole story.

3714
02:08:15,590 --> 02:08:17,510
He had a head-on crash in Colorado

3715
02:08:17,510 --> 02:08:19,210
when he was 19 and he had a

3716
02:08:19,210 --> 02:08:21,310
couple of seizures.

3717
02:08:21,770 --> 02:08:23,410
And so he talks like that.

3718
02:08:23,730 --> 02:08:24,870
And then I said, why don't we have

3719
02:08:24,870 --> 02:08:25,610
coffee sometime?

3720
02:08:25,970 --> 02:08:27,370
And then he brought his chess set and

3721
02:08:27,370 --> 02:08:28,910
the guy's like a master chess player.

3722
02:08:30,210 --> 02:08:33,610
But whenever he wins, he's like...

3723
02:08:34,190 --> 02:08:36,130
And the whole place, you know, it's totally

3724
02:08:36,130 --> 02:08:37,970
embarrassing and lovely at the same time.

3725
02:08:37,970 --> 02:08:41,050
They even had the first Willie chess competition

3726
02:08:41,050 --> 02:08:42,170
last month.

3727
02:08:42,770 --> 02:08:44,010
There were like 30 people came.

3728
02:08:44,110 --> 02:08:45,590
He plays chess with everybody now.

3729
02:08:46,070 --> 02:08:48,270
Anyway, it's spring break.

3730
02:08:48,410 --> 02:08:50,370
So I know because it's just crazy.

3731
02:08:51,030 --> 02:08:52,550
Why would anybody go?

3732
02:08:52,950 --> 02:08:54,130
Was there a beach?

3733
02:08:54,630 --> 02:08:57,290
In Fredericksburg, there's a bunch of bikini clad

3734
02:08:57,290 --> 02:08:57,590
chicks.

3735
02:08:57,590 --> 02:09:00,830
You can drink on the street in Fredericksburg.

3736
02:09:00,970 --> 02:09:02,870
We're one of the six cities in America

3737
02:09:02,870 --> 02:09:03,590
where that is legal.

3738
02:09:03,590 --> 02:09:04,530
Where are the other five?

3739
02:09:06,250 --> 02:09:07,310
I don't know.

3740
02:09:07,490 --> 02:09:08,790
New Orleans is one.

3741
02:09:09,270 --> 02:09:10,110
Yeah, I know New Orleans.

3742
02:09:10,290 --> 02:09:12,370
I don't know the other four, but we're

3743
02:09:12,370 --> 02:09:12,750
nearby.

3744
02:09:13,150 --> 02:09:14,150
You know, you could, you're in Austin.

3745
02:09:14,310 --> 02:09:16,410
You're like, hey, let's go get drunk and

3746
02:09:16,410 --> 02:09:17,650
laugh at the Republicans.

3747
02:09:17,890 --> 02:09:18,730
I don't know what they do.

3748
02:09:19,630 --> 02:09:21,430
You know, I'm sure that's...

3749
02:09:21,430 --> 02:09:24,010
Let's go make fun of the church people.

3750
02:09:24,190 --> 02:09:26,050
Let's go to Fredericksburg and get hammered.

3751
02:09:26,190 --> 02:09:27,410
Yeah, that's what they do.

3752
02:09:28,350 --> 02:09:34,390
So that explains the 1993, 1993 trolls today.

3753
02:09:34,390 --> 02:09:37,170
As opposed to our Thursday average, which is

3754
02:09:37,170 --> 02:09:37,570
higher.

3755
02:09:38,470 --> 02:09:41,050
2023, our last show.

3756
02:09:41,070 --> 02:09:41,350
Not really.

3757
02:09:41,510 --> 02:09:44,050
The average, well, our average over the last

3758
02:09:44,050 --> 02:09:45,870
10 shows is 2087.

3759
02:09:48,770 --> 02:09:52,210
To me, the median is 1,800 for

3760
02:09:52,210 --> 02:09:52,610
Thursday.

3761
02:09:52,890 --> 02:09:54,050
1,900 is a good one.

3762
02:09:54,050 --> 02:09:55,430
Well, I have the stats.

3763
02:09:55,730 --> 02:09:56,790
The numbers don't lie.

3764
02:09:56,810 --> 02:09:58,450
Yeah, your stats are what they are.

3765
02:09:58,570 --> 02:10:01,010
You know, statistics are good for everything.

3766
02:10:01,330 --> 02:10:03,670
The last 100 shows, 1902.

3767
02:10:03,670 --> 02:10:07,290
So I'm just saying, I'm just saying that

3768
02:10:07,290 --> 02:10:08,330
we're down a little bit.

3769
02:10:08,430 --> 02:10:09,150
Just a little bit.

3770
02:10:09,190 --> 02:10:11,210
But these trolls, they are hanging out in

3771
02:10:11,210 --> 02:10:12,790
the troll room, which is where we love

3772
02:10:12,790 --> 02:10:13,330
to have them.

3773
02:10:13,550 --> 02:10:16,050
I haven't been having intermittent connection issues with

3774
02:10:16,050 --> 02:10:16,770
the troll room today.

3775
02:10:16,810 --> 02:10:17,870
I'm not sure what's going on.

3776
02:10:17,930 --> 02:10:19,390
That's probably why the numbers are down.

3777
02:10:19,910 --> 02:10:21,610
I don't know if it's the troll room

3778
02:10:21,610 --> 02:10:22,270
or if it's me.

3779
02:10:22,390 --> 02:10:22,990
I'm not sure.

3780
02:10:23,690 --> 02:10:25,010
But they are listening live.

3781
02:10:25,230 --> 02:10:27,230
And you can do that at trollroom.io

3782
02:10:27,230 --> 02:10:29,790
or on your modern podcast app, which is

3783
02:10:29,790 --> 02:10:30,370
fun to do.

3784
02:10:32,010 --> 02:10:34,090
CurioCaster, it's actually a web page you can

3785
02:10:34,090 --> 02:10:35,870
use to listen live.

3786
02:10:36,510 --> 02:10:39,150
And with all these modern podcast apps, you

3787
02:10:39,150 --> 02:10:40,750
can find it podcastapps.com.

3788
02:10:40,930 --> 02:10:43,410
When we go live, boom, you get an

3789
02:10:43,410 --> 02:10:43,890
alert.

3790
02:10:44,050 --> 02:10:45,170
It says, they're going live.

3791
02:10:45,410 --> 02:10:46,370
You get the bad signal.

3792
02:10:46,550 --> 02:10:46,970
You hit it.

3793
02:10:47,030 --> 02:10:47,810
You can listen live.

3794
02:10:48,410 --> 02:10:49,970
When we publish our show to any of

3795
02:10:49,970 --> 02:10:51,910
these modern podcast apps, besides all the cool

3796
02:10:51,910 --> 02:10:54,030
features, you get your transcripts, you get your

3797
02:10:54,030 --> 02:10:54,430
chapters.

3798
02:10:54,610 --> 02:10:55,350
Thank you, Dreb Scott.

3799
02:10:55,950 --> 02:10:57,670
Within 90 seconds, it'll be updated.

3800
02:10:57,730 --> 02:10:59,950
So no more waiting around and emailing Adam.

3801
02:10:59,950 --> 02:11:02,190
You forgot to upload it to iTunes.

3802
02:11:02,370 --> 02:11:04,290
No, no, that's not how it works.

3803
02:11:04,770 --> 02:11:07,030
That's Apple just sits there and polls and

3804
02:11:07,030 --> 02:11:08,990
polls, wasting resources.

3805
02:11:09,210 --> 02:11:10,770
We use the modern pod ping.

3806
02:11:12,450 --> 02:11:14,870
These trolls are often in the troll room

3807
02:11:14,870 --> 02:11:16,770
to get good ideas for artwork.

3808
02:11:17,010 --> 02:11:19,310
But oh my, as part of our time,

3809
02:11:19,450 --> 02:11:22,250
talent, and treasure, we rely on the outstanding

3810
02:11:22,250 --> 02:11:24,810
work of many of our producers who build

3811
02:11:24,810 --> 02:11:26,570
websites for us and do all kinds of

3812
02:11:26,570 --> 02:11:29,590
fun things, including the Noah Art Generator, which

3813
02:11:29,590 --> 02:11:32,330
was down on the last show, which meant

3814
02:11:32,330 --> 02:11:34,850
we really had very little to choose from.

3815
02:11:35,130 --> 02:11:36,470
We had two pieces.

3816
02:11:36,770 --> 02:11:37,130
Yes.

3817
02:11:37,590 --> 02:11:40,210
A couple of artists were smart and emailed

3818
02:11:40,210 --> 02:11:42,330
us and said, Hey, this is my chance.

3819
02:11:42,570 --> 02:11:43,650
I'm getting in now.

3820
02:11:44,930 --> 02:11:47,590
And that was, and I think it was

3821
02:11:47,590 --> 02:11:48,050
Nestworks.

3822
02:11:48,190 --> 02:11:48,590
Let me check.

3823
02:11:48,630 --> 02:11:49,170
Let me see.

3824
02:11:49,350 --> 02:11:50,290
Did we choose Nestworks?

3825
02:11:50,430 --> 02:11:51,030
Yes, it was.

3826
02:11:51,210 --> 02:11:55,770
Nestworks brought us the artwork for episode 1745.

3827
02:11:56,190 --> 02:11:58,570
What did we, when did we title 1745?

3828
02:11:58,570 --> 02:12:01,150
Old Crone, that's what we titled it.

3829
02:12:01,650 --> 02:12:03,090
And so we got that straight from the

3830
02:12:03,090 --> 02:12:03,390
email.

3831
02:12:03,530 --> 02:12:05,270
So there's really nothing to discuss because we

3832
02:12:05,270 --> 02:12:07,670
didn't have anything else to look at, except

3833
02:12:07,670 --> 02:12:08,090
that.

3834
02:12:08,230 --> 02:12:09,670
And was there one other one that came

3835
02:12:09,670 --> 02:12:09,810
in?

3836
02:12:09,850 --> 02:12:10,950
I can't remember what it was.

3837
02:12:11,130 --> 02:12:11,590
Yeah, there was.

3838
02:12:11,650 --> 02:12:13,750
I think it was one of the ladies.

3839
02:12:14,850 --> 02:12:17,270
Oh, was it Tantaniel, maybe?

3840
02:12:18,010 --> 02:12:18,810
She said something.

3841
02:12:19,470 --> 02:12:21,710
So there's not much to discuss today, but

3842
02:12:21,710 --> 02:12:23,190
I see that the Art Generator is working

3843
02:12:23,190 --> 02:12:23,450
again.

3844
02:12:23,510 --> 02:12:24,570
Thank you, Sir Paul Couture.

3845
02:12:24,910 --> 02:12:27,290
We understand that these things can be difficult.

3846
02:12:27,290 --> 02:12:30,710
And he also asked me specifically, let me

3847
02:12:30,710 --> 02:12:31,950
make sure I get this right.

3848
02:12:32,470 --> 02:12:34,310
He asked me specifically to give an F

3849
02:12:34,310 --> 02:12:36,190
-cancer for his mom, which is part of

3850
02:12:36,190 --> 02:12:38,030
the distraction that was going on in his

3851
02:12:38,030 --> 02:12:38,430
household.

3852
02:12:38,690 --> 02:12:39,790
So we'll do that right now.

3853
02:12:44,830 --> 02:12:46,410
You've got karma.

3854
02:12:47,570 --> 02:12:49,530
And we appreciate all the work you do,

3855
02:12:49,610 --> 02:12:50,890
Sir Paul, and all the work that the

3856
02:12:50,890 --> 02:12:53,710
artists do who are diligently uploading today.

3857
02:12:53,870 --> 02:12:54,870
So thank you very much.

3858
02:12:55,090 --> 02:12:57,170
Now we go to the treasure part of

3859
02:12:57,170 --> 02:12:58,370
our time, talents and treasure.

3860
02:12:58,570 --> 02:13:00,490
This is a Value for Value podcast, which

3861
02:13:00,490 --> 02:13:02,690
means you just give back whatever you think

3862
02:13:02,690 --> 02:13:03,670
the show is worth to you.

3863
02:13:03,750 --> 02:13:05,190
It's been going pretty well for us for

3864
02:13:05,190 --> 02:13:05,870
17 years.

3865
02:13:05,970 --> 02:13:07,130
We're in our 18th year now.

3866
02:13:07,270 --> 02:13:08,070
Four more to go.

3867
02:13:08,550 --> 02:13:09,930
Less than four now, actually.

3868
02:13:10,230 --> 02:13:12,830
Three years and nine months.

3869
02:13:12,870 --> 02:13:14,030
Always four more forever.

3870
02:13:15,230 --> 02:13:16,150
That's your wish.

3871
02:13:16,810 --> 02:13:17,590
Dream on, baby.

3872
02:13:18,190 --> 02:13:19,450
I got a lot of life left in

3873
02:13:19,450 --> 02:13:19,630
me.

3874
02:13:21,510 --> 02:13:22,790
This is going to take a lot of

3875
02:13:22,790 --> 02:13:24,990
convincing and keep me going for another presidential

3876
02:13:24,990 --> 02:13:27,830
cycle, especially when you're blowing schnoz in my

3877
02:13:27,830 --> 02:13:28,050
ear.

3878
02:13:29,050 --> 02:13:29,770
It's hard.

3879
02:13:29,770 --> 02:13:31,070
It's a hard life.

3880
02:13:32,070 --> 02:13:34,050
We'd like to thank everybody who comes in.

3881
02:13:34,390 --> 02:13:35,670
$50 and above.

3882
02:13:35,770 --> 02:13:37,310
We don't do under $50 for reasons of

3883
02:13:37,310 --> 02:13:37,770
anonymity.

3884
02:13:38,170 --> 02:13:41,530
Reminder, if you had a recurring donation set

3885
02:13:41,530 --> 02:13:42,990
up, it probably expired.

3886
02:13:43,110 --> 02:13:44,550
A lot of them do around the beginning

3887
02:13:44,550 --> 02:13:45,110
of the year.

3888
02:13:46,750 --> 02:13:48,990
And if you've never done one, go to

3889
02:13:48,990 --> 02:13:50,410
noagendadonations.com.

3890
02:13:50,510 --> 02:13:51,010
Set one up.

3891
02:13:51,130 --> 02:13:53,690
Any frequency, any amount is all up to

3892
02:13:53,690 --> 02:13:53,910
you.

3893
02:13:54,090 --> 02:13:56,130
And we appreciate all of the support we

3894
02:13:56,130 --> 02:13:57,010
get from our producers.

3895
02:13:57,010 --> 02:13:59,890
And we kick it off with our top

3896
02:13:59,890 --> 02:14:00,770
executive producer.

3897
02:14:00,890 --> 02:14:02,350
Now, these are people we want to thank.

3898
02:14:02,450 --> 02:14:03,590
They're $200 or above.

3899
02:14:03,850 --> 02:14:05,770
If you are at $200 or above, you

3900
02:14:05,770 --> 02:14:06,830
get an official credit.

3901
02:14:06,970 --> 02:14:08,650
It's an associate executive producer credit.

3902
02:14:08,770 --> 02:14:11,350
Good wherever credits are recognized, which is all

3903
02:14:11,350 --> 02:14:13,730
of Hollywood, including that Snow White movie.

3904
02:14:13,790 --> 02:14:15,550
They would have recognized it, but you're not

3905
02:14:15,550 --> 02:14:15,830
on that.

3906
02:14:15,930 --> 02:14:17,750
And be happy that you don't have a

3907
02:14:17,750 --> 02:14:18,910
credit that says, you know, I was an

3908
02:14:18,910 --> 02:14:21,210
associate executive producer on Snow White.

3909
02:14:21,370 --> 02:14:21,590
No.

3910
02:14:22,330 --> 02:14:24,190
Associate executive producer of the No Agenda show.

3911
02:14:24,270 --> 02:14:25,030
$200 and above.

3912
02:14:25,030 --> 02:14:26,810
You get that credit and we read your

3913
02:14:26,810 --> 02:14:26,990
note.

3914
02:14:27,110 --> 02:14:28,110
$300 and above.

3915
02:14:28,270 --> 02:14:29,690
You become an executive producer.

3916
02:14:29,850 --> 02:14:30,530
Same applies.

3917
02:14:30,650 --> 02:14:31,690
It's good for your lifetime.

3918
02:14:32,470 --> 02:14:35,590
And accepted wherever credits are recognized.

3919
02:14:35,930 --> 02:14:37,530
And we also read your note.

3920
02:14:37,650 --> 02:14:40,110
And so we come to our first executive

3921
02:14:40,110 --> 02:14:43,570
producer, Troy Lafferty, who is in Newark.

3922
02:14:43,570 --> 02:14:44,770
But not Newark, New Jersey.

3923
02:14:44,950 --> 02:14:45,970
Home of Frank Sinatra.

3924
02:14:46,090 --> 02:14:46,230
No.

3925
02:14:46,590 --> 02:14:47,510
Newark, Ohio.

3926
02:14:48,390 --> 02:14:50,070
And Troy says, with $700.

3927
02:14:50,870 --> 02:14:51,270
Okay.

3928
02:14:51,910 --> 02:14:53,150
And he got us a knighthood today.

3929
02:14:53,150 --> 02:14:54,990
How did you the best podcast in the

3930
02:14:54,990 --> 02:14:55,270
universe?

3931
02:14:55,370 --> 02:14:57,070
You guys are truly the best.

3932
02:14:57,630 --> 02:15:01,030
Adam, thank you for providing Godcaster to all

3933
02:15:01,030 --> 02:15:02,550
of us aspiring podcasters.

3934
02:15:03,030 --> 02:15:05,390
Also, Adam, I appreciate your bold stance on

3935
02:15:05,390 --> 02:15:07,750
the Christian faith and the multiple interviews in

3936
02:15:07,750 --> 02:15:09,030
which you talk about Christianity.

3937
02:15:09,790 --> 02:15:12,230
Well, well, where were you on my Flashpoint

3938
02:15:12,230 --> 02:15:12,750
thread?

3939
02:15:13,390 --> 02:15:15,090
I could have used some help there.

3940
02:15:15,950 --> 02:15:19,070
Muchos gracias, Juan, for providing the audience.

3941
02:15:19,150 --> 02:15:20,170
Oh, that would be you, John.

3942
02:15:20,270 --> 02:15:20,530
Juan.

3943
02:15:21,030 --> 02:15:23,890
With providing the audience with countless tales regarding

3944
02:15:23,890 --> 02:15:25,750
your many storied experiences.

3945
02:15:26,430 --> 02:15:28,110
It seems like on a weekly basis, I

3946
02:15:28,110 --> 02:15:30,410
am providing my keeper with tips from John.

3947
02:15:30,830 --> 02:15:31,730
Well, that's no coincidence.

3948
02:15:31,930 --> 02:15:33,130
He does the tip of the day.

3949
02:15:33,590 --> 02:15:34,850
By the way, thanks for the tip on

3950
02:15:34,850 --> 02:15:36,430
the Bordeaux crates from Costco.

3951
02:15:36,690 --> 02:15:37,450
Good stuff.

3952
02:15:37,570 --> 02:15:40,050
Yeah, that is probably one of the best

3953
02:15:40,050 --> 02:15:41,610
no agenda tips ever.

3954
02:15:42,050 --> 02:15:44,010
And people always remember that one.

3955
02:15:44,810 --> 02:15:47,030
And this donation brings me to knighthood, he

3956
02:15:47,030 --> 02:15:47,290
says.

3957
02:15:47,290 --> 02:15:48,950
For my feast at the round table, I'm

3958
02:15:48,950 --> 02:15:54,250
requesting rattlesnake chili, wild boar medallions, and John's

3959
02:15:54,250 --> 02:15:57,210
choice of a fine Bordeaux to pair with

3960
02:15:57,210 --> 02:15:58,730
these wild game selections.

3961
02:15:58,890 --> 02:16:00,890
Let me get my notepad out because John

3962
02:16:00,890 --> 02:16:04,810
is going to give us a selection.

3963
02:16:05,870 --> 02:16:10,930
Yeah, get a bottle of 1990 Lynch barge.

3964
02:16:11,290 --> 02:16:15,490
1990 Lynch barge?

3965
02:16:15,570 --> 02:16:16,790
How do I spell barge?

3966
02:16:16,790 --> 02:16:18,270
B-A-G-E-S.

3967
02:16:19,110 --> 02:16:19,670
Barge.

3968
02:16:19,770 --> 02:16:21,330
Okay, all right.

3969
02:16:21,490 --> 02:16:26,830
And we'll add that to your rattlesnake chili

3970
02:16:26,830 --> 02:16:28,190
wild boar medallions.

3971
02:16:28,430 --> 02:16:28,990
You got it.

3972
02:16:29,630 --> 02:16:31,969
So for henceforth, please refer to me as

3973
02:16:31,969 --> 02:16:34,070
Sir Troy from the land of the psyops.

3974
02:16:34,450 --> 02:16:37,790
Finally, please switcheroo $200 of my total credit

3975
02:16:37,790 --> 02:16:38,930
to John C.

3976
02:16:39,090 --> 02:16:42,170
Lovins from New Albany, Ohio, as an associate

3977
02:16:42,170 --> 02:16:43,150
executive producer.

3978
02:16:43,270 --> 02:16:44,350
Well, this is complicated.

3979
02:16:44,969 --> 02:16:46,129
I'll have to write that down.

3980
02:16:46,129 --> 02:16:48,010
No jingles, no karma, though, he says.

3981
02:16:48,110 --> 02:16:49,650
Please, though, de-douche me as I forgot

3982
02:16:49,650 --> 02:16:51,490
to ask for it last time and de

3983
02:16:51,490 --> 02:16:52,490
-douche John C.

3984
02:16:52,690 --> 02:16:52,930
Lovins.

3985
02:16:54,709 --> 02:16:56,389
You've been de-douched.

3986
02:16:56,570 --> 02:16:57,730
All right, that's yours.

3987
02:16:57,830 --> 02:16:58,809
And here's for John C.

3988
02:16:58,870 --> 02:16:59,170
Lovins.

3989
02:17:00,629 --> 02:17:02,309
You've been de-douched.

3990
02:17:04,090 --> 02:17:05,049
And he says, thanks.

3991
02:17:05,150 --> 02:17:06,450
Four more years, Troy Lafferty.

3992
02:17:06,990 --> 02:17:08,150
Laff is pronounced like laugh.

3993
02:17:08,209 --> 02:17:08,490
Got it.

3994
02:17:08,530 --> 02:17:09,170
Newark, Ohio.

3995
02:17:09,370 --> 02:17:10,250
Thank you very much.

3996
02:17:10,389 --> 02:17:10,590
Good.

3997
02:17:10,670 --> 02:17:11,870
I'm going to put in John C.

3998
02:17:11,950 --> 02:17:13,730
Lovins as associate right now.

3999
02:17:14,090 --> 02:17:14,650
You got it.

4000
02:17:17,020 --> 02:17:18,459
Onward with Sir Furr.

4001
02:17:19,480 --> 02:17:21,600
He's the Black Baron of the I-4

4002
02:17:21,600 --> 02:17:24,059
Corridor in Orlando.

4003
02:17:26,120 --> 02:17:28,879
ITM, John and Adam, switcheroo.

4004
02:17:29,120 --> 02:17:30,100
Oh, it's a switcheroo.

4005
02:17:30,719 --> 02:17:34,139
By the way, there's a check you wrote

4006
02:17:34,139 --> 02:17:34,820
on a piece of paper.

4007
02:17:35,100 --> 02:17:35,520
Yes.

4008
02:17:35,959 --> 02:17:39,799
Please credit this executive producership to Ashlyn Speed.

4009
02:17:40,480 --> 02:17:42,900
Oh, oh, our racing gal.

4010
02:17:43,040 --> 02:17:43,500
Our girl.

4011
02:17:43,940 --> 02:17:44,860
Ashlyn Speed.

4012
02:17:44,860 --> 02:17:45,459
Okay.

4013
02:17:46,740 --> 02:17:47,540
It's funny.

4014
02:17:47,639 --> 02:17:49,719
I've got, he wrote this on the, he

4015
02:17:49,719 --> 02:17:51,540
recycled a sheet of paper.

4016
02:17:52,160 --> 02:17:54,760
And the backside is the annual meeting of

4017
02:17:54,760 --> 02:17:59,360
the Biltmore Shores Community Club with the agenda.

4018
02:18:00,760 --> 02:18:01,959
What's on the agenda?

4019
02:18:02,100 --> 02:18:02,820
What's on the agenda?

4020
02:18:02,900 --> 02:18:04,920
Well, Holly Greer speaks at first.

4021
02:18:05,000 --> 02:18:05,799
She's the president.

4022
02:18:05,980 --> 02:18:07,920
The nomination and approval of officers.

4023
02:18:07,920 --> 02:18:09,280
Then the financial review.

4024
02:18:09,760 --> 02:18:12,080
Community events comes up after that and the

4025
02:18:12,080 --> 02:18:12,780
new business.

4026
02:18:13,500 --> 02:18:14,940
Back, back to the note.

4027
02:18:16,160 --> 02:18:19,600
Not only does she promote the no agenda

4028
02:18:19,600 --> 02:18:21,920
show with that decal on her race car.

4029
02:18:22,719 --> 02:18:24,580
But she also sends you guys money.

4030
02:18:24,959 --> 02:18:29,000
According to my accounting, this switcheroo donation qualifies

4031
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:30,559
Ashlyn for Damehood.

4032
02:18:30,860 --> 02:18:31,740
Well, how about that?

4033
02:18:32,139 --> 02:18:34,280
Welcome to the round table, young lady.

4034
02:18:34,379 --> 02:18:35,420
You are amazing.

4035
02:18:35,760 --> 02:18:36,540
Jingle request.

4036
02:18:36,719 --> 02:18:37,780
Boogity, boogity, boogity.

4037
02:18:38,080 --> 02:18:40,280
Spoken out wife and the F-35 Karma.

4038
02:18:40,280 --> 02:18:42,299
Thank you for your courage, sir, for the

4039
02:18:42,299 --> 02:18:44,660
Black Baron of the I-4 Corridor in

4040
02:18:44,660 --> 02:18:45,320
Orlando.

4041
02:19:00,730 --> 02:19:04,610
You've got Karma.

4042
02:19:07,870 --> 02:19:11,090
Okay, that brings us to Thomas Kilbride from

4043
02:19:11,090 --> 02:19:12,030
Waco, Texas.

4044
02:19:12,830 --> 02:19:15,070
515.38. I have no note from Thomas

4045
02:19:15,070 --> 02:19:15,610
Kilbride.

4046
02:19:15,990 --> 02:19:16,770
I haven't got anything.

4047
02:19:17,090 --> 02:19:18,750
But he may have been going for a

4048
02:19:18,750 --> 02:19:19,430
Commodore ship.

4049
02:19:19,510 --> 02:19:20,350
I'll check that in a moment.

4050
02:19:20,410 --> 02:19:21,930
But for no note, you do get a

4051
02:19:21,930 --> 02:19:22,650
double of Karma.

4052
02:19:22,730 --> 02:19:26,010
You've got Karma.

4053
02:19:28,430 --> 02:19:31,690
Sir John in London, in London, London, UK.

4054
02:19:32,830 --> 02:19:35,730
Dear Adam and John, I thought I'd get

4055
02:19:35,730 --> 02:19:37,990
on the Commodore Act before it runs out

4056
02:19:37,990 --> 02:19:38,530
for good.

4057
02:19:38,770 --> 02:19:42,010
There's 500 greenbacks for my Commodore title.

4058
02:19:42,150 --> 02:19:44,990
Please could I gain the additional title of

4059
02:19:44,990 --> 02:19:48,110
Commodore Kumar of the Seas?

4060
02:19:48,250 --> 02:19:49,070
Seven Seas.

4061
02:19:49,510 --> 02:19:50,370
Of the Seven Seas.

4062
02:19:50,530 --> 02:19:50,970
Hold on a second.

4063
02:19:51,150 --> 02:19:51,990
I got a...

4064
02:19:51,990 --> 02:19:52,370
What are you doing?

4065
02:19:53,210 --> 02:19:53,690
My...

4066
02:19:53,690 --> 02:19:54,570
What are you doing?

4067
02:19:55,230 --> 02:19:57,550
Well, what happened was a little drop-down

4068
02:19:57,550 --> 02:20:00,270
menu showed up, which takes out part of

4069
02:20:00,270 --> 02:20:00,830
the cell.

4070
02:20:01,070 --> 02:20:02,650
So I can't read the whole thing.

4071
02:20:04,030 --> 02:20:05,550
Are you using a pivot table?

4072
02:20:06,290 --> 02:20:07,090
There it is.

4073
02:20:07,230 --> 02:20:08,510
Okay, I got rid of it.

4074
02:20:09,070 --> 02:20:11,150
That's some drop-down for some unknown reason.

4075
02:20:11,610 --> 02:20:13,130
Please could I gain the attention of the

4076
02:20:13,130 --> 02:20:15,030
Commodore Kumar of the Seven Seas?

4077
02:20:15,390 --> 02:20:17,450
No jingles, just Karma for the whole No

4078
02:20:17,450 --> 02:20:18,370
Agenda family.

4079
02:20:18,370 --> 02:20:21,670
Regards, Sir John of South London, Commodore Kumar

4080
02:20:21,670 --> 02:20:22,710
of the Seven Seas.

4081
02:20:23,110 --> 02:20:24,350
Yeah, but when you...

4082
02:20:24,350 --> 02:20:24,610
Okay.

4083
02:20:24,970 --> 02:20:25,150
What?

4084
02:20:25,210 --> 02:20:26,710
When you send in your request for the

4085
02:20:26,710 --> 02:20:28,670
Commodore, you put their title in there and

4086
02:20:28,670 --> 02:20:29,270
it'll get...

4087
02:20:29,270 --> 02:20:30,350
Oh yes, it gets posted.

4088
02:20:30,670 --> 02:20:31,310
Yes, that's true.

4089
02:20:31,670 --> 02:20:33,130
You've got Karma.

4090
02:20:35,550 --> 02:20:40,850
We go to Zander van den Brandt in

4091
02:20:40,850 --> 02:20:43,090
Berleycum, the Netherlands.

4092
02:20:43,690 --> 02:20:45,790
Dear Adam and John, vape donation have finally

4093
02:20:45,790 --> 02:20:47,050
become a Commodore 64.

4094
02:20:47,610 --> 02:20:48,610
Adam will understand.

4095
02:20:48,930 --> 02:20:50,390
I called him out on a clicking sound,

4096
02:20:50,470 --> 02:20:51,230
but it was his vape.

4097
02:20:51,510 --> 02:20:52,850
I shouldn't have been so vapid.

4098
02:20:53,350 --> 02:20:55,730
Anyways, time to donate to the best podcast

4099
02:20:55,730 --> 02:20:57,670
in the universe while the Netherlands is going

4100
02:20:57,670 --> 02:20:58,250
to shits.

4101
02:20:59,410 --> 02:21:02,570
While Trump is putting an end to things,

4102
02:21:02,770 --> 02:21:05,370
here we are doubling down on DEI, Green

4103
02:21:05,370 --> 02:21:06,430
Deal and migration.

4104
02:21:06,830 --> 02:21:07,150
Lovely.

4105
02:21:07,750 --> 02:21:09,630
Love everything you do, so keep it up

4106
02:21:09,630 --> 02:21:11,810
and I'll be sporting my No Agenda merch

4107
02:21:11,810 --> 02:21:12,610
everywhere I go.

4108
02:21:12,730 --> 02:21:14,170
Jingle request, a de-douche.

4109
02:21:15,850 --> 02:21:17,650
You've been de-douched.

4110
02:21:17,950 --> 02:21:19,490
And an old one from the vault, he

4111
02:21:19,490 --> 02:21:21,510
wants Putin on the Ritz, followed by Pew

4112
02:21:21,510 --> 02:21:21,850
Pew.

4113
02:21:22,130 --> 02:21:25,150
Name me as Commodore SNDR of Middle Roader.

4114
02:21:26,850 --> 02:21:29,430
Come, let's mix where John Podesta walks with

4115
02:21:29,430 --> 02:21:29,770
kids.

4116
02:21:29,890 --> 02:21:31,850
Oh, I mean pizzas in his mitts.

4117
02:21:33,110 --> 02:21:34,310
Putin on the Ritz.

4118
02:21:38,610 --> 02:21:40,330
There you go, Pew Pew.

4119
02:21:41,090 --> 02:21:43,690
That brings us to the bonus clip for

4120
02:21:43,690 --> 02:21:45,430
the middle of the donation segment.

4121
02:21:45,670 --> 02:21:47,650
Oh boy, aren't you glad you're listening, people?

4122
02:21:47,770 --> 02:21:50,110
You're listening to the donation segment.

4123
02:21:50,250 --> 02:21:51,730
We have a bonus clip for you.

4124
02:21:52,530 --> 02:21:55,210
Since it was mentioned in that particular clip,

4125
02:21:55,530 --> 02:21:56,810
play the news.

4126
02:21:56,950 --> 02:21:59,190
The Pizzagate killer is dead.

4127
02:21:59,410 --> 02:22:01,110
The man who terrorized people at a crowded

4128
02:22:01,110 --> 02:22:04,010
DC pizza shop back in 2016 has died.

4129
02:22:04,150 --> 02:22:06,390
Edgar Madison Welch was shot and killed Monday

4130
02:22:06,390 --> 02:22:08,990
by police in Kannapolis, North Carolina, after he

4131
02:22:08,990 --> 02:22:10,550
pulled out a gun during a traffic stop.

4132
02:22:11,050 --> 02:22:12,890
Eight years ago, the so-called Pizzagate gunman

4133
02:22:12,890 --> 02:22:15,150
entered Comet Ping Pong in Northwest with a

4134
02:22:15,150 --> 02:22:16,650
revolver and rifle.

4135
02:22:17,050 --> 02:22:18,890
He was searching for a non-existent child

4136
02:22:18,890 --> 02:22:20,690
sex ring, which he learned about from a

4137
02:22:20,690 --> 02:22:22,190
right-wing conspiracy website.

4138
02:22:22,690 --> 02:22:24,390
Welch was sentenced to prison and released back

4139
02:22:24,390 --> 02:22:24,970
in 2021.

4140
02:22:25,530 --> 02:22:27,050
Didn't this happen a few weeks ago?

4141
02:22:27,730 --> 02:22:28,410
I don't know.

4142
02:22:28,730 --> 02:22:29,230
I think so.

4143
02:22:29,430 --> 02:22:29,810
News to me.

4144
02:22:30,250 --> 02:22:31,870
Well, there's your bonus clip, everybody.

4145
02:22:32,010 --> 02:22:32,910
Another guy is dead.

4146
02:22:33,050 --> 02:22:33,310
Surprise.

4147
02:22:34,430 --> 02:22:35,570
A guy's dead.

4148
02:22:36,250 --> 02:22:40,830
Well, meanwhile, we have the Archduchess Kim, Keeper

4149
02:22:40,830 --> 02:22:43,150
of the Nutty Fluffers in Hubbard, Oregon, came

4150
02:22:43,150 --> 02:22:45,150
in with $500 to get her Commodore thing.

4151
02:22:46,070 --> 02:22:48,230
And she wrote, again, this is another check

4152
02:22:48,230 --> 02:22:50,130
that came in with a handwritten note.

4153
02:22:50,330 --> 02:22:51,230
Appreciate these.

4154
02:22:52,270 --> 02:22:53,510
I, Tam, John, and Adam.

4155
02:22:55,130 --> 02:22:57,910
Jingle, screw your freedom, little girl, yay.

4156
02:22:58,310 --> 02:22:59,570
R2D2 karma, please.

4157
02:22:59,690 --> 02:23:01,950
The sad puppy and a Commodore ship were

4158
02:23:01,950 --> 02:23:03,450
too much for me not to donate.

4159
02:23:03,450 --> 02:23:05,790
I have to do my part to keep

4160
02:23:05,790 --> 02:23:07,890
the great newsletters coming.

4161
02:23:09,810 --> 02:23:10,870
Let me read that again.

4162
02:23:11,150 --> 02:23:12,690
Great newsletters, huh?

4163
02:23:12,970 --> 02:23:14,470
Yeah, to keep the great newsletters coming, I

4164
02:23:14,470 --> 02:23:15,210
have to do my part.

4165
02:23:15,270 --> 02:23:15,910
Oh, great newsletters.

4166
02:23:16,010 --> 02:23:16,170
Okay.

4167
02:23:16,370 --> 02:23:16,770
Newsletters.

4168
02:23:16,790 --> 02:23:17,790
She's talking about the great, okay.

4169
02:23:17,870 --> 02:23:18,330
The great newsletter.

4170
02:23:18,330 --> 02:23:19,530
She's talking about the newsletter.

4171
02:23:19,550 --> 02:23:20,450
It's the great newsletter.

4172
02:23:20,630 --> 02:23:21,490
It's the best newsletter.

4173
02:23:22,070 --> 02:23:24,250
Hands down, the hypocrite of the week is

4174
02:23:24,250 --> 02:23:27,310
the best part outside of John's wonderful insights.

4175
02:23:27,810 --> 02:23:28,470
There you go.

4176
02:23:28,510 --> 02:23:30,790
You two keep me from going completely off

4177
02:23:30,790 --> 02:23:31,730
the deep end.

4178
02:23:31,730 --> 02:23:36,510
And for that, my employees and family are

4179
02:23:36,510 --> 02:23:37,130
grateful.

4180
02:23:38,430 --> 02:23:44,150
Keep up the great work, Archduchess Kim, keeper

4181
02:23:44,150 --> 02:23:45,310
of the nutty fluffers.

4182
02:23:45,590 --> 02:23:46,810
Screw your freedom.

4183
02:23:47,130 --> 02:23:47,290
Yay.

4184
02:23:49,470 --> 02:23:53,470
You've got karma.

4185
02:23:54,870 --> 02:23:57,190
And we move on to Sir Data Ops

4186
02:23:57,190 --> 02:24:01,310
from Madison, Wisconsin, 333.33, who says, I've

4187
02:24:01,310 --> 02:24:03,050
been a listener and producer for over six

4188
02:24:03,050 --> 02:24:03,470
years.

4189
02:24:03,470 --> 02:24:05,850
And no agenda has been a welcome constant

4190
02:24:05,850 --> 02:24:06,710
in my life.

4191
02:24:06,950 --> 02:24:07,330
That's right.

4192
02:24:07,430 --> 02:24:08,110
We're always here.

4193
02:24:08,750 --> 02:24:10,990
Your deconstruction has helped me see manipulation for

4194
02:24:10,990 --> 02:24:12,850
what it is and gain confidence in knowing

4195
02:24:12,850 --> 02:24:14,970
I'm part of a large tribe of like

4196
02:24:14,970 --> 02:24:16,070
-minded individuals.

4197
02:24:16,690 --> 02:24:18,730
For the past few years, this podcast has

4198
02:24:18,730 --> 02:24:20,330
been my only source for news.

4199
02:24:20,610 --> 02:24:22,790
So when you start a topic with, everyone

4200
02:24:22,790 --> 02:24:25,070
already knows about this, there's a good chance

4201
02:24:25,070 --> 02:24:25,610
I don't.

4202
02:24:25,930 --> 02:24:27,730
With this donation, I'll become a baron.

4203
02:24:28,050 --> 02:24:30,510
Please update my title from Baronet Sir Data

4204
02:24:30,510 --> 02:24:33,670
Ops, the Wisconsin millennial, to Baron Sir Spatial

4205
02:24:33,670 --> 02:24:35,810
Support, the Wisconsin millennial.

4206
02:24:36,450 --> 02:24:37,470
Thank you for your courage.

4207
02:24:37,590 --> 02:24:42,230
And for jingles, please play WTC7, Dogs Are

4208
02:24:42,230 --> 02:24:44,570
People Too, and Hit Me With Some Karma.

4209
02:24:47,010 --> 02:24:49,630
WTC7 won't go away.

4210
02:24:50,070 --> 02:24:52,070
Dogs are people too.

4211
02:24:55,390 --> 02:24:57,270
You've got karma.

4212
02:24:57,590 --> 02:24:58,010
What's a classic?

4213
02:24:58,790 --> 02:25:00,490
A classic, I tell you.

4214
02:25:01,630 --> 02:25:06,710
Robert Milner and Marion Iowa, 33333.

4215
02:25:07,750 --> 02:25:11,190
ITM John and Adam, thank you for all

4216
02:25:11,190 --> 02:25:11,790
that you do.

4217
02:25:12,190 --> 02:25:14,650
Today marks my first step toward knighthood.

4218
02:25:14,970 --> 02:25:17,230
And as an executive producer, I want to

4219
02:25:17,230 --> 02:25:20,710
thank my grandpa, Sir Doug of the Copper

4220
02:25:20,710 --> 02:25:22,810
Line, who hit me in the mouth at

4221
02:25:22,810 --> 02:25:23,710
the start of COVID.

4222
02:25:24,410 --> 02:25:27,270
And the show has been shrinking my amygdala

4223
02:25:27,270 --> 02:25:28,750
and keeping me sane ever since.

4224
02:25:28,750 --> 02:25:30,970
I think it's time for a long-awaited

4225
02:25:30,970 --> 02:25:32,130
de-douching.

4226
02:25:33,850 --> 02:25:35,670
You've been de-douched.

4227
02:25:36,370 --> 02:25:39,530
For all those on the fence, donate!

4228
02:25:41,010 --> 02:25:44,330
Jobs Karma works in many mysterious ways.

4229
02:25:44,450 --> 02:25:46,190
I can confirm it's safe and effective.

4230
02:25:46,390 --> 02:25:48,330
Because of this, I don't have to live

4231
02:25:48,330 --> 02:25:49,790
on the mac and cheese anymore.

4232
02:25:49,990 --> 02:25:52,850
Finally, I'm able to give some long overdue

4233
02:25:52,850 --> 02:25:55,270
treasure to the show and can additionally now

4234
02:25:55,270 --> 02:25:58,550
give my time and talent to those in

4235
02:25:58,550 --> 02:25:59,790
Gitmo Nation as well.

4236
02:25:59,910 --> 02:26:03,430
So if you have a need for a

4237
02:26:03,430 --> 02:26:08,430
new or used semi-truck, reach out to

4238
02:26:08,430 --> 02:26:14,490
Rob, the used truck guy, at 563-542

4239
02:26:14,490 --> 02:26:19,510
-2383.

4240
02:26:19,770 --> 02:26:21,110
I've got to read it again now, yeah.

4241
02:26:22,170 --> 02:26:24,910
563-542-2383.

4242
02:26:24,910 --> 02:26:28,830
Please don't actually rob the used truck guy.

4243
02:26:32,110 --> 02:26:33,810
For every truck sold to the No Agenda

4244
02:26:33,810 --> 02:26:38,990
Lister, 333-333 of the commission will be

4245
02:26:38,990 --> 02:26:41,250
reinvested back to the show.

4246
02:26:41,330 --> 02:26:41,790
That's interesting.

4247
02:26:42,030 --> 02:26:42,150
Wow.

4248
02:26:42,410 --> 02:26:44,870
As a donation in their name.

4249
02:26:45,170 --> 02:26:46,150
Thank you for your courage.

4250
02:26:46,270 --> 02:26:47,590
Can I get a mac and cheese and

4251
02:26:47,590 --> 02:26:48,290
a yak karma?

4252
02:26:49,470 --> 02:26:51,550
Few slaves can get used to mac and

4253
02:26:51,550 --> 02:26:51,750
cheese.

4254
02:26:52,010 --> 02:26:52,610
Mac and cheese.

4255
02:26:53,270 --> 02:26:54,790
Mac and cheese.

4256
02:26:54,790 --> 02:26:56,730
Cheddar melted together.

4257
02:27:00,910 --> 02:27:05,190
You've got karma.

4258
02:27:05,330 --> 02:27:07,270
Now, before I go to the next note,

4259
02:27:07,430 --> 02:27:09,110
we went to the P.O. Box and

4260
02:27:09,110 --> 02:27:11,050
there were a number of items in the

4261
02:27:11,050 --> 02:27:12,870
P.O. Box which I need to mention,

4262
02:27:13,790 --> 02:27:18,110
including a check for $333.33 from Zach

4263
02:27:20,370 --> 02:27:22,050
from Frankenmuth, Michigan.

4264
02:27:22,050 --> 02:27:25,450
Did you get a package of chocolates from

4265
02:27:25,450 --> 02:27:26,790
the Frankenmuth people?

4266
02:27:28,490 --> 02:27:29,350
Some time ago.

4267
02:27:29,970 --> 02:27:30,210
Yeah.

4268
02:27:30,430 --> 02:27:32,070
Well, he'd been sitting in our P.O.

4269
02:27:32,070 --> 02:27:33,090
Box for some time.

4270
02:27:34,590 --> 02:27:36,170
But did you get a check?

4271
02:27:39,090 --> 02:27:41,010
Well, it was some time ago, maybe.

4272
02:27:42,170 --> 02:27:44,590
It was like a month ago or so.

4273
02:27:44,650 --> 02:27:45,190
I don't remember.

4274
02:27:45,350 --> 02:27:45,970
Yeah, yeah.

4275
02:27:46,050 --> 02:27:48,330
Well, he has noagendachocolates.com.

4276
02:27:48,330 --> 02:27:53,210
This is, of course, the famous Frankenmuth chocolate

4277
02:27:53,210 --> 02:27:53,310
people.

4278
02:27:53,310 --> 02:27:54,670
It was like last year, I think.

4279
02:27:54,670 --> 02:27:56,150
No, it wasn't that long ago.

4280
02:27:56,330 --> 02:27:59,490
But it came with a serving platter and

4281
02:27:59,490 --> 02:28:01,070
it had all kinds of stuff in it.

4282
02:28:01,610 --> 02:28:02,730
It was a while ago.

4283
02:28:02,870 --> 02:28:03,470
Yeah, several weeks ago.

4284
02:28:03,470 --> 02:28:06,090
The platter, which is a cutting board, is

4285
02:28:06,090 --> 02:28:06,550
dynamite.

4286
02:28:06,570 --> 02:28:07,670
Yeah, it's fantastic.

4287
02:28:08,810 --> 02:28:10,750
The sampler tray is what he calls it.

4288
02:28:11,830 --> 02:28:14,450
Remember, free shipping on orders over $30 at

4289
02:28:14,450 --> 02:28:15,950
noagendachocolates.com.

4290
02:28:16,210 --> 02:28:17,450
I thought that expired.

4291
02:28:18,330 --> 02:28:18,930
No, no.

4292
02:28:19,090 --> 02:28:21,070
That was noagendafudge.com.

4293
02:28:21,170 --> 02:28:23,570
Now this is noagendachocolates.com.

4294
02:28:23,670 --> 02:28:24,050
Oh, OK.

4295
02:28:24,210 --> 02:28:24,470
Yeah.

4296
02:28:24,770 --> 02:28:27,810
So I will send that 333.33 check

4297
02:28:27,810 --> 02:28:27,910
to you.

4298
02:28:27,910 --> 02:28:28,790
Yeah, drop it in it.

4299
02:28:29,030 --> 02:28:30,970
Put it in the bank.

4300
02:28:31,310 --> 02:28:37,230
Before I go, thank you to dbadbadba.com,

4301
02:28:37,290 --> 02:28:39,070
who sent me some of their coffee beans.

4302
02:28:39,230 --> 02:28:40,910
That's the red bike coffee.

4303
02:28:40,930 --> 02:28:44,490
Yes, by the way, dbadbadba sent me two

4304
02:28:44,490 --> 02:28:45,490
bags of coffee, too.

4305
02:28:45,670 --> 02:28:46,290
Very nice.

4306
02:28:46,290 --> 02:28:49,130
And then did you get a cutting board?

4307
02:28:50,230 --> 02:28:50,950
From what?

4308
02:28:51,170 --> 02:28:52,430
From Sir Aradadarian?

4309
02:28:53,410 --> 02:28:53,710
No.

4310
02:28:54,050 --> 02:28:58,770
Dude, he put together a cutting board that

4311
02:28:58,770 --> 02:28:59,850
is beautiful.

4312
02:29:01,650 --> 02:29:03,170
And he sent it to us.

4313
02:29:03,250 --> 02:29:04,310
He said, don't mention it.

4314
02:29:04,390 --> 02:29:05,890
So OK, I'm going to mention it anyway.

4315
02:29:06,050 --> 02:29:07,730
Oh, because he doesn't want, now he's got

4316
02:29:07,730 --> 02:29:09,050
to make one for me, because I'm going

4317
02:29:09,050 --> 02:29:09,450
to grouse.

4318
02:29:10,610 --> 02:29:12,810
That was the way, and you blew it.

4319
02:29:13,170 --> 02:29:14,190
You outed him.

4320
02:29:14,190 --> 02:29:16,410
Thank you to whoever sent me the F

4321
02:29:16,410 --> 02:29:20,450
-22 Raptor mission systems patch for my jacket.

4322
02:29:20,750 --> 02:29:21,150
I appreciate that.

4323
02:29:21,150 --> 02:29:22,090
I don't have that either.

4324
02:29:22,250 --> 02:29:22,930
No, no.

4325
02:29:23,330 --> 02:29:24,730
And thank you Jordan R.

4326
02:29:24,790 --> 02:29:26,770
Brown for U.S. Senate, who is running

4327
02:29:26,770 --> 02:29:28,830
against Lindsey Graham in South Carolina.

4328
02:29:29,590 --> 02:29:31,790
He sent me his agenda.

4329
02:29:32,390 --> 02:29:34,830
I think no matter what, if there's someone

4330
02:29:34,830 --> 02:29:37,250
running against Lindsey Graham, vote for him.

4331
02:29:37,950 --> 02:29:38,670
Jordan R.

4332
02:29:38,730 --> 02:29:39,830
Brown for U.S. Senate.

4333
02:29:40,430 --> 02:29:41,890
He locks it down, Lindsey.

4334
02:29:42,150 --> 02:29:43,630
Yeah, well, maybe, maybe.

4335
02:29:43,630 --> 02:29:45,910
All right, then we go to Sir PP.

4336
02:29:46,650 --> 02:29:48,230
I'll do this one as well.

4337
02:29:48,470 --> 02:29:53,370
Sir PPT, I'm sorry, $333.33. He says,

4338
02:29:53,430 --> 02:29:55,690
in the morning, boys, a February donation.

4339
02:29:56,490 --> 02:29:58,730
Yes, it's March, February 15th.

4340
02:29:58,790 --> 02:30:00,550
Was it sitting in your PO box with

4341
02:30:00,550 --> 02:30:01,070
your chocolates?

4342
02:30:04,170 --> 02:30:04,350
What?

4343
02:30:04,610 --> 02:30:07,970
Well, this notice, it's dated February 15th.

4344
02:30:09,610 --> 02:30:11,930
That just came in, just came in.

4345
02:30:12,050 --> 02:30:12,350
OK.

4346
02:30:12,630 --> 02:30:14,690
Sometimes, I don't know why some mail comes

4347
02:30:14,690 --> 02:30:15,310
in very late.

4348
02:30:15,930 --> 02:30:17,430
Local post office issues.

4349
02:30:17,730 --> 02:30:20,130
Somebody bitched about this in a note.

4350
02:30:20,270 --> 02:30:21,690
Where's my, how come I didn't get mentioned?

4351
02:30:23,770 --> 02:30:26,690
Generally speaking, the mail works quite well, but

4352
02:30:26,690 --> 02:30:28,770
it's in some areas where he is.

4353
02:30:28,850 --> 02:30:29,310
Where is that?

4354
02:30:29,490 --> 02:30:30,930
I don't know where it was postmarked.

4355
02:30:31,190 --> 02:30:32,630
OK, I don't know either.

4356
02:30:32,750 --> 02:30:34,030
Anyway, he says he loves the show.

4357
02:30:34,110 --> 02:30:35,510
I'd like to thank Dame Astrid and Sir

4358
02:30:35,510 --> 02:30:37,190
Mark for a great meetup in Tokyo.

4359
02:30:37,410 --> 02:30:38,970
Ah, it came from Tokyo, that's why.

4360
02:30:39,110 --> 02:30:39,870
Oh, it's from Japan.

4361
02:30:40,070 --> 02:30:41,250
Oh, I saw that note come in.

4362
02:30:41,330 --> 02:30:43,490
Yeah, a Japanese, it came from Japan.

4363
02:30:43,610 --> 02:30:44,170
It took forever.

4364
02:30:44,310 --> 02:30:44,690
Sure, it did.

4365
02:30:45,430 --> 02:30:47,710
We just got our Christmas card from Willow

4366
02:30:47,710 --> 02:30:48,110
in Italy.

4367
02:30:48,290 --> 02:30:49,930
I'm telling you, we've got problems.

4368
02:30:50,090 --> 02:30:51,690
The international stuff is bad.

4369
02:30:51,890 --> 02:30:53,730
Hopefully, we can all get together again soon,

4370
02:30:53,770 --> 02:30:54,090
he says.

4371
02:30:54,190 --> 02:30:56,670
Also, a shout out to El Mexicano, his

4372
02:30:56,670 --> 02:30:59,190
wife and little human resource touring Thailand.

4373
02:30:59,470 --> 02:31:00,970
Stay safe, Sir PPT.

4374
02:31:01,470 --> 02:31:03,290
And he says, donation accounting available upon your

4375
02:31:03,290 --> 02:31:03,690
request.

4376
02:31:03,910 --> 02:31:05,430
Well, we trust you.

4377
02:31:05,570 --> 02:31:07,050
Does that mean he comes at night?

4378
02:31:07,110 --> 02:31:08,310
Because he didn't mention that.

4379
02:31:09,210 --> 02:31:10,530
He'll have to let us know if that's

4380
02:31:10,530 --> 02:31:10,730
so.

4381
02:31:10,930 --> 02:31:11,670
Thank you very much.

4382
02:31:13,970 --> 02:31:17,590
Dame in training in Highland Park, Illinois.

4383
02:31:18,410 --> 02:31:20,130
It's also a name of a good scotch.

4384
02:31:21,090 --> 02:31:22,810
315.85. What?

4385
02:31:22,910 --> 02:31:25,950
John was right, as he usually is.

4386
02:31:27,490 --> 02:31:28,750
Let me just read that again.

4387
02:31:31,090 --> 02:31:35,630
His wind chime did elicit a donation.

4388
02:31:36,570 --> 02:31:38,770
Uh-huh, you better hit the chime.

4389
02:31:41,850 --> 02:31:42,570
Donate.

4390
02:31:43,170 --> 02:31:44,290
I understand how that works.

4391
02:31:44,550 --> 02:31:47,090
Love y'all and thank you for your

4392
02:31:47,090 --> 02:31:47,530
service.

4393
02:31:48,050 --> 02:31:51,830
Yours, Dame in training, Highland Park, Illinois.

4394
02:31:52,250 --> 02:31:53,130
Oh, beautiful.

4395
02:31:54,170 --> 02:31:59,430
Sir Mike 44JR, not BS, from Bethalto, Illinois.

4396
02:31:59,930 --> 02:32:00,430
314.

4397
02:32:00,790 --> 02:32:02,270
In the morning, thank you for your courage.

4398
02:32:02,770 --> 02:32:03,710
Happy Pi Day.

4399
02:32:03,890 --> 02:32:04,510
There it is.

4400
02:32:04,890 --> 02:32:06,930
There it is, the one Pi Day donation.

4401
02:32:07,070 --> 02:32:07,650
That's right.

4402
02:32:08,010 --> 02:32:08,950
Another winner.

4403
02:32:09,270 --> 02:32:09,890
Another winner.

4404
02:32:10,390 --> 02:32:11,110
Happy Pi Day.

4405
02:32:11,290 --> 02:32:12,470
I think that Dame in training may have

4406
02:32:12,470 --> 02:32:13,090
been a Pi Day.

4407
02:32:13,090 --> 02:32:14,470
With the added...

4408
02:32:14,470 --> 02:32:15,850
Oh, no, I don't think so.

4409
02:32:15,990 --> 02:32:16,530
No way.

4410
02:32:16,610 --> 02:32:18,790
Happy Pi Day to Mahadi Mob.

4411
02:32:18,990 --> 02:32:19,690
Another year.

4412
02:32:19,870 --> 02:32:21,590
Let's see if I'm free for the 4th

4413
02:32:21,590 --> 02:32:22,050
of July.

4414
02:32:22,450 --> 02:32:24,470
Bison or is it buffalo karma, please?

4415
02:32:24,590 --> 02:32:26,890
For work, relationship, and legal reasons.

4416
02:32:27,270 --> 02:32:29,670
All hail to the full Bellamy Suite, Sir

4417
02:32:29,670 --> 02:32:32,270
Mike 44JR, not BS.

4418
02:32:32,470 --> 02:32:34,170
I think he means yak karma, because we

4419
02:32:34,170 --> 02:32:35,690
don't have bison or buffalo.

4420
02:32:35,910 --> 02:32:36,430
It must be yak.

4421
02:32:36,430 --> 02:32:39,830
You've got karma.

4422
02:32:44,650 --> 02:32:45,890
Sir Hooper...

4423
02:32:45,890 --> 02:32:46,530
Hoop...

4424
02:32:46,530 --> 02:32:47,210
Hoopin...

4425
02:32:47,210 --> 02:32:54,090
Hoopin Soccer in Bowlsburg, Pennsylvania, 270.68. Another

4426
02:32:54,090 --> 02:32:56,750
check with a piece of paper.

4427
02:32:57,650 --> 02:32:58,890
This is actually a pretty long note, but

4428
02:32:58,890 --> 02:32:59,470
I'll read it.

4429
02:33:00,010 --> 02:33:03,230
ITM gentlemen, please find enclosed my immense donation

4430
02:33:03,230 --> 02:33:06,350
of 270.68, sent to reconcile for being

4431
02:33:06,350 --> 02:33:08,450
too broke for the last six months to

4432
02:33:08,450 --> 02:33:10,010
maintain my sustaining donation.

4433
02:33:10,010 --> 02:33:11,610
Luckily, my mom...

4434
02:33:14,690 --> 02:33:15,710
I'm sorry.

4435
02:33:15,890 --> 02:33:16,170
Wow.

4436
02:33:16,450 --> 02:33:18,210
I'm just reading this now.

4437
02:33:18,350 --> 02:33:18,710
Wow.

4438
02:33:19,790 --> 02:33:23,510
Luckily, he says, my mom croaked and her

4439
02:33:23,510 --> 02:33:26,490
entire estate finally settled after four years.

4440
02:33:26,570 --> 02:33:30,050
Thanks for being on top of nothing, California,

4441
02:33:30,430 --> 02:33:32,530
so I can square up.

4442
02:33:32,950 --> 02:33:33,630
Man.

4443
02:33:34,670 --> 02:33:38,390
My 333 monthly donation will restart in April,

4444
02:33:38,390 --> 02:33:40,470
and I suggest every listener commit to a

4445
02:33:40,470 --> 02:33:42,550
sustaining donation, no matter how small.

4446
02:33:42,870 --> 02:33:44,810
It is value for value, after all.

4447
02:33:45,370 --> 02:33:47,890
This donation makes me a Viscount, and I

4448
02:33:47,890 --> 02:33:50,030
would like to be known as Sir Hoopin

4449
02:33:50,030 --> 02:33:54,430
Soccer, Baron of the Psychedelic Overmind and Related

4450
02:33:54,430 --> 02:33:59,290
Dimensions, Viscount of the No-o-space...

4451
02:33:59,290 --> 02:34:01,010
No-o-space, I guess.

4452
02:34:01,010 --> 02:34:02,010
I think it's Noo-sphere.

4453
02:34:02,910 --> 02:34:03,670
Noo-sphere.

4454
02:34:04,150 --> 02:34:04,730
It's sphere.

4455
02:34:04,890 --> 02:34:05,910
There's no space in it.

4456
02:34:05,930 --> 02:34:06,390
No sphere.

4457
02:34:06,510 --> 02:34:07,350
I don't know why I'm saying sphere.

4458
02:34:07,350 --> 02:34:07,970
I don't know either.

4459
02:34:08,670 --> 02:34:10,610
Well, it is what it is.

4460
02:34:11,510 --> 02:34:13,350
It's my bionic lenses.

4461
02:34:14,110 --> 02:34:17,930
I respectfully request that 20% of this

4462
02:34:17,930 --> 02:34:19,810
go to paying down the national debt.

4463
02:34:21,050 --> 02:34:22,990
Well, that's actually going to happen.

4464
02:34:23,110 --> 02:34:23,690
That'll do it.

4465
02:34:23,950 --> 02:34:25,210
Yeah, exactly.

4466
02:34:25,670 --> 02:34:27,850
Because by 20%, it does go to taxes.

4467
02:34:28,130 --> 02:34:28,410
Yeah, you bet.

4468
02:34:28,430 --> 02:34:31,250
60% goes to Adam for managing communications

4469
02:34:31,250 --> 02:34:33,370
for the thousands of producers that John has

4470
02:34:33,370 --> 02:34:33,850
blocked.

4471
02:34:34,590 --> 02:34:35,750
I've blocked nobody.

4472
02:34:35,870 --> 02:34:36,170
No.

4473
02:34:36,170 --> 02:34:38,710
And the remaining 20% to provide $5

4474
02:34:38,710 --> 02:34:41,150
,000 checks for every American taxpayer.

4475
02:34:41,310 --> 02:34:42,310
Yeah, he's got that figured out.

4476
02:34:42,330 --> 02:34:43,290
He got the math right.

4477
02:34:43,450 --> 02:34:43,890
Nailed it.

4478
02:34:44,790 --> 02:34:47,830
I would like a sitar jingle goat karma,

4479
02:34:48,010 --> 02:34:48,430
please.

4480
02:34:48,890 --> 02:34:49,550
Do we have that?

4481
02:34:49,650 --> 02:34:49,850
No.

4482
02:34:50,010 --> 02:34:52,230
And thank you for your work and courage,

4483
02:34:52,350 --> 02:34:52,710
Matthew.

4484
02:34:53,030 --> 02:34:54,230
And then he's got some accounting.

4485
02:34:54,470 --> 02:34:56,190
We don't have a sitar.

4486
02:34:56,210 --> 02:34:57,970
We just have a regular service goat.

4487
02:34:58,470 --> 02:35:01,150
You've got karma.

4488
02:35:01,310 --> 02:35:01,970
And there you go.

4489
02:35:02,710 --> 02:35:03,390
You got your goat.

4490
02:35:03,710 --> 02:35:04,410
We got your goat.

4491
02:35:04,490 --> 02:35:05,130
You got your goat.

4492
02:35:05,670 --> 02:35:07,030
Dame Janet is next.

4493
02:35:07,230 --> 02:35:10,390
Also a written note, $250.

4494
02:35:10,770 --> 02:35:11,850
Says, ITM John Adam.

4495
02:35:11,950 --> 02:35:13,330
Nice handwriting, Dame Janet.

4496
02:35:13,790 --> 02:35:15,790
This donation is a switcheroo for my smoking

4497
02:35:15,790 --> 02:35:17,970
hot husband Bill, as well as a birthday

4498
02:35:17,970 --> 02:35:21,850
donation for Bill, retroactively, on March 1st.

4499
02:35:22,370 --> 02:35:24,270
And mine on March 15th.

4500
02:35:24,530 --> 02:35:25,830
Because of the...

4501
02:35:25,830 --> 02:35:27,810
Oh, beware of the Ides of March.

4502
02:35:28,950 --> 02:35:30,410
So what do we put in there?

4503
02:35:30,490 --> 02:35:33,150
Do we put in just Bill?

4504
02:35:33,790 --> 02:35:35,370
Well, that means Bill.

4505
02:35:35,810 --> 02:35:36,490
It's Dame Janet.

4506
02:35:36,610 --> 02:35:37,370
We just do Bill?

4507
02:35:37,510 --> 02:35:38,170
I'm gonna do Bill.

4508
02:35:38,790 --> 02:35:39,190
I don't know.

4509
02:35:39,250 --> 02:35:39,450
Bill.

4510
02:35:39,590 --> 02:35:40,510
I don't know what else to do.

4511
02:35:40,530 --> 02:35:40,750
Bill.

4512
02:35:40,930 --> 02:35:41,490
All right, Bill.

4513
02:35:41,630 --> 02:35:42,690
You're on the list, Bill.

4514
02:35:42,970 --> 02:35:43,270
Hold on.

4515
02:35:44,090 --> 02:35:44,390
Okay.

4516
02:35:44,630 --> 02:35:45,570
Bill is on the list.

4517
02:35:46,690 --> 02:35:49,010
And what else does Bill...

4518
02:35:49,010 --> 02:35:50,470
What does Dame Janet say here?

4519
02:35:50,970 --> 02:35:53,390
She says, John, I love the newsletter.

4520
02:35:53,750 --> 02:35:55,530
The memes and the hypocrite of the week

4521
02:35:55,530 --> 02:35:56,490
always make me laugh.

4522
02:35:56,550 --> 02:35:58,470
There's the second hypocrite of the week lover.

4523
02:35:59,790 --> 02:36:01,210
Yes, in the same show.

4524
02:36:01,610 --> 02:36:02,370
Random number.

4525
02:36:02,370 --> 02:36:03,930
Keep on keeping us sane.

4526
02:36:04,070 --> 02:36:06,510
Dame Janet of the T.P. Wyoming.

4527
02:36:06,810 --> 02:36:08,110
Okay, I'll call it Bill of the T

4528
02:36:08,110 --> 02:36:08,650
.P. Wyoming.

4529
02:36:08,810 --> 02:36:09,250
$250.

4530
02:36:09,610 --> 02:36:10,290
Thank you very much.

4531
02:36:10,470 --> 02:36:12,250
I'll put Bill of the T.P. Wyoming.

4532
02:36:12,910 --> 02:36:15,310
Well, Eli the Coffee Guy's back from Bensonville,

4533
02:36:15,390 --> 02:36:15,710
Illinois.

4534
02:36:15,890 --> 02:36:21,200
$203.13. Jay was concerned.

4535
02:36:21,720 --> 02:36:22,580
Yes, of course.

4536
02:36:22,620 --> 02:36:24,200
We were all concerned that we hadn't heard

4537
02:36:24,200 --> 02:36:25,040
from him last week.

4538
02:36:25,080 --> 02:36:26,580
We didn't know if something was going on.

4539
02:36:27,000 --> 02:36:27,760
No blurts.

4540
02:36:28,400 --> 02:36:30,700
With nothing zany going on, I don't have

4541
02:36:30,700 --> 02:36:33,580
anything witty to add to the conversation today.

4542
02:36:33,580 --> 02:36:36,980
But we did a new coffee in our

4543
02:36:36,980 --> 02:36:38,400
black bag series.

4544
02:36:40,120 --> 02:36:42,340
Black bag series is quite good, by the

4545
02:36:42,340 --> 02:36:42,460
way.

4546
02:36:42,460 --> 02:36:43,260
Yeah, black bag.

4547
02:36:43,320 --> 02:36:47,740
Visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and get some organic Ethiopian

4548
02:36:47,740 --> 02:36:49,080
Guji today.

4549
02:36:49,660 --> 02:36:50,580
It's delicious.

4550
02:36:51,600 --> 02:36:54,440
And don't forget to use code ITM20 for

4551
02:36:54,440 --> 02:36:56,060
20% off your first order.

4552
02:36:56,340 --> 02:36:58,920
Thank you for your courage and stay caffeinated,

4553
02:36:59,140 --> 02:37:00,660
says Eli the Coffee Guy.

4554
02:37:01,160 --> 02:37:02,440
Sir, I'm like that.

4555
02:37:02,440 --> 02:37:05,880
$200.33. He is the sir, I'm like

4556
02:37:05,880 --> 02:37:07,780
that in God's country, to be exact.

4557
02:37:07,940 --> 02:37:10,140
Gents, millennial private investment producer here.

4558
02:37:10,660 --> 02:37:12,120
Ah, it's been too long.

4559
02:37:12,260 --> 02:37:14,360
Not because of my terrible market projections last

4560
02:37:14,360 --> 02:37:14,580
year.

4561
02:37:14,740 --> 02:37:15,540
Persistent inflation.

4562
02:37:15,700 --> 02:37:16,440
No Fed cuts.

4563
02:37:16,600 --> 02:37:17,640
Market at all-time highs.

4564
02:37:17,780 --> 02:37:19,020
NVIDIA be a house of cards.

4565
02:37:19,520 --> 02:37:21,120
2025 refinancing wave.

4566
02:37:21,120 --> 02:37:22,540
Be the next downturn event.

4567
02:37:23,500 --> 02:37:24,980
Well, he's right on there.

4568
02:37:25,040 --> 02:37:25,860
I'm agreeing with you.

4569
02:37:25,960 --> 02:37:27,960
The refinancing wave will be a downturn event

4570
02:37:27,960 --> 02:37:28,840
for stocks.

4571
02:37:29,060 --> 02:37:29,980
If it happens.

4572
02:37:30,100 --> 02:37:30,700
Good for America.

4573
02:37:30,700 --> 02:37:32,760
While I take credit for a few and

4574
02:37:32,760 --> 02:37:34,680
realize that the Fed should have remained steady,

4575
02:37:34,920 --> 02:37:36,440
these were mostly in the neighborhood.

4576
02:37:36,720 --> 02:37:39,140
Regarding the refinancing wave, it sure seems that

4577
02:37:39,140 --> 02:37:41,260
Trump is stoking fear into the market to

4578
02:37:41,260 --> 02:37:43,840
ensure U.S. can refi at lower rates.

4579
02:37:44,380 --> 02:37:45,060
Well, here you go.

4580
02:37:45,780 --> 02:37:46,700
I do apologize.

4581
02:37:46,900 --> 02:37:47,700
This is long overdue.

4582
02:37:47,740 --> 02:37:49,160
I recently had a change in my role

4583
02:37:49,160 --> 02:37:51,300
that puts me on the road as a

4584
02:37:51,300 --> 02:37:55,120
pseudo-wholesaler of my company's proprietary investment solution.

4585
02:37:55,640 --> 02:37:57,500
Things are going great, but busy.

4586
02:37:57,780 --> 02:37:59,400
Hope to make some more donations as I

4587
02:37:59,400 --> 02:37:59,860
settle in.

4588
02:37:59,860 --> 02:38:00,700
Jingles.

4589
02:38:00,940 --> 02:38:02,720
Donald Trump don't trust China.

4590
02:38:02,880 --> 02:38:05,020
Share a secret and anything, Reverend Al, please.

4591
02:38:05,080 --> 02:38:06,440
Donald Trump don't trust China.

4592
02:38:06,660 --> 02:38:07,560
China is asshole.

4593
02:38:07,940 --> 02:38:08,900
Oh, there's no winning.

4594
02:38:09,320 --> 02:38:11,800
We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere,

4595
02:38:11,800 --> 02:38:13,260
but we laugh a lot.

4596
02:38:13,580 --> 02:38:15,240
Now everyone hug and share a secret.

4597
02:38:15,560 --> 02:38:15,980
Resist.

4598
02:38:16,400 --> 02:38:16,980
We must.

4599
02:38:17,680 --> 02:38:18,500
We must.

4600
02:38:18,820 --> 02:38:21,840
They're all jitty about a shutdown.

4601
02:38:22,180 --> 02:38:24,100
The tortise in the race.

4602
02:38:24,260 --> 02:38:26,620
Then co-author of Who Briefs.

4603
02:38:26,740 --> 02:38:29,520
You too, lead singer Bono.

4604
02:38:29,520 --> 02:38:30,860
Fran Drescher.

4605
02:38:31,660 --> 02:38:32,460
Sigournoy Weaver.

4606
02:38:33,780 --> 02:38:35,480
Suspect Jahar Sanaiev.

4607
02:38:35,680 --> 02:38:36,400
Rush Limbaugh.

4608
02:38:36,460 --> 02:38:37,440
Rush Limbaugh.

4609
02:38:37,520 --> 02:38:38,900
You've got karma.

4610
02:38:39,260 --> 02:38:39,720
What a mess.

4611
02:38:40,820 --> 02:38:41,640
Oh, there you go.

4612
02:38:41,720 --> 02:38:42,380
There you go, brother.

4613
02:38:42,460 --> 02:38:42,860
Thank you.

4614
02:38:43,820 --> 02:38:46,200
Uh, Eric Cioffi in Columbus, Ohio.

4615
02:38:46,340 --> 02:38:46,720
$200.

4616
02:38:47,120 --> 02:38:48,160
I think it said Cioffi.

4617
02:38:48,900 --> 02:38:49,300
Cioffi?

4618
02:38:49,480 --> 02:38:49,720
Yes.

4619
02:38:49,860 --> 02:38:51,840
C-I-O-F-F-I is Cioffi?

4620
02:38:51,880 --> 02:38:52,740
Yes, it's Cioffi.

4621
02:38:52,820 --> 02:38:54,160
It says it there in the note at

4622
02:38:54,160 --> 02:38:54,400
the bottom.

4623
02:38:54,440 --> 02:38:55,480
Oh, I didn't read the note.

4624
02:38:55,660 --> 02:38:55,980
I did.

4625
02:38:55,980 --> 02:38:56,580
Oh, there it is.

4626
02:38:57,180 --> 02:38:59,460
It's like coffee with a C, with a

4627
02:38:59,460 --> 02:38:59,660
C.

4628
02:39:01,260 --> 02:39:01,660
Cioffi.

4629
02:39:01,840 --> 02:39:02,200
Yeah, you're right.

4630
02:39:02,500 --> 02:39:02,740
Cioffi.

4631
02:39:02,940 --> 02:39:03,340
ITM.

4632
02:39:03,420 --> 02:39:04,680
This is my Upside donation.

4633
02:39:04,880 --> 02:39:06,900
If you don't know, Upside is an app

4634
02:39:06,900 --> 02:39:09,480
where you can earn cash back by filling

4635
02:39:09,480 --> 02:39:11,940
up your car at a particular gas station.

4636
02:39:12,240 --> 02:39:12,640
Participating.

4637
02:39:14,000 --> 02:39:16,380
Yeah, well, the same thing, right?

4638
02:39:17,000 --> 02:39:17,320
Okay.

4639
02:39:17,800 --> 02:39:19,960
Since I drive a lot for work, I

4640
02:39:19,960 --> 02:39:20,840
figured I'd give it a try.

4641
02:39:20,960 --> 02:39:22,280
Well, it didn't take long.

4642
02:39:22,280 --> 02:39:24,920
I earned $200, so I thought, why not

4643
02:39:24,920 --> 02:39:26,360
give it to the best podcast in the

4644
02:39:26,360 --> 02:39:29,340
universe and get myself an Associate Executive Producer

4645
02:39:29,340 --> 02:39:29,760
title?

4646
02:39:30,160 --> 02:39:31,800
Given that I mostly listen to the show

4647
02:39:31,800 --> 02:39:33,140
while driving, huh?

4648
02:39:33,900 --> 02:39:35,900
Why not keep using the app and occasionally

4649
02:39:35,900 --> 02:39:37,420
donate what I earn?

4650
02:39:37,860 --> 02:39:39,820
If others want to do the same, enter

4651
02:39:39,820 --> 02:39:45,000
the promo code, Eric84582, and we'll both get

4652
02:39:45,000 --> 02:39:45,580
a bonus.

4653
02:39:45,860 --> 02:39:46,340
Bongino.

4654
02:39:48,460 --> 02:39:51,060
That's Eric84582, Eric, E-R-I-C.

4655
02:39:51,620 --> 02:39:53,720
Your show, I just, I think it's a

4656
02:39:53,720 --> 02:39:54,600
good idea, actually.

4657
02:39:54,760 --> 02:39:55,500
Yeah, it's not bad.

4658
02:39:56,460 --> 02:39:59,120
Your show truly is the best podcast in

4659
02:39:59,120 --> 02:39:59,540
the universe.

4660
02:39:59,780 --> 02:40:02,200
I started listening during COVID based on a

4661
02:40:02,200 --> 02:40:04,460
recommendation from a co-worker, and I haven't

4662
02:40:04,460 --> 02:40:05,560
missed an episode since.

4663
02:40:05,620 --> 02:40:09,760
You guys have opened up my eyes to

4664
02:40:09,760 --> 02:40:12,620
the corruption that plagues our government and the

4665
02:40:12,620 --> 02:40:12,940
media.

4666
02:40:13,740 --> 02:40:15,880
Thanks for the amazing analysis.

4667
02:40:16,200 --> 02:40:17,360
Can I, by the way, this is why

4668
02:40:17,360 --> 02:40:20,000
we have to ask for donations to do

4669
02:40:20,000 --> 02:40:21,260
this show, because what we're doing.

4670
02:40:21,580 --> 02:40:21,680
Yes.

4671
02:40:22,020 --> 02:40:23,540
Thanks for the amazing analysis.

4672
02:40:23,700 --> 02:40:25,920
Can I get a house selling and buying

4673
02:40:25,920 --> 02:40:26,280
karma?

4674
02:40:26,360 --> 02:40:29,640
Thank you for your courage, Eric Chaffee, like

4675
02:40:29,640 --> 02:40:31,600
coffee, but with a C-H.

4676
02:40:31,880 --> 02:40:33,320
You've got karma.

4677
02:40:33,780 --> 02:40:35,060
Yeah, I forgot one more thing.

4678
02:40:35,200 --> 02:40:37,320
Did you get the Serious Pepper Hot Sauce

4679
02:40:37,320 --> 02:40:37,680
Trio?

4680
02:40:38,700 --> 02:40:40,440
I talked about it on the show already.

4681
02:40:40,440 --> 02:40:40,900
Oh, that's right.

4682
02:40:41,080 --> 02:40:42,460
But I just got mine in.

4683
02:40:42,980 --> 02:40:45,580
Well, that's interesting, because I got the one

4684
02:40:45,580 --> 02:40:47,440
that you got.

4685
02:40:47,580 --> 02:40:49,040
You got the same three, I'm sure.

4686
02:40:49,040 --> 02:40:52,700
Habanero, Serrano, and then a ghost pepper.

4687
02:40:52,880 --> 02:40:55,700
My ghost pepper bottle broke in the box.

4688
02:40:55,900 --> 02:40:58,580
I just happen to have right here, my

4689
02:40:58,580 --> 02:40:59,420
only ghost.

4690
02:40:59,640 --> 02:41:01,740
It's complete and ready and good to go.

4691
02:41:01,900 --> 02:41:02,120
I can't wait.

4692
02:41:02,120 --> 02:41:03,560
Okay, well, I want you to open it

4693
02:41:03,560 --> 02:41:04,060
right now.

4694
02:41:04,140 --> 02:41:05,820
Put a drop on your finger.

4695
02:41:05,960 --> 02:41:06,880
I don't think so.

4696
02:41:07,220 --> 02:41:07,740
Why not?

4697
02:41:08,420 --> 02:41:09,460
Okay, let me see.

4698
02:41:10,020 --> 02:41:11,160
It's not going to be that hot.

4699
02:41:11,400 --> 02:41:13,640
Well, the packaging is crazy.

4700
02:41:13,780 --> 02:41:14,940
How do you even open this?

4701
02:41:16,240 --> 02:41:18,640
It's got, how did you open yours?

4702
02:41:18,640 --> 02:41:20,040
What, the bottle?

4703
02:41:20,440 --> 02:41:21,960
Yeah, the bottle is very tight.

4704
02:41:22,360 --> 02:41:23,020
I can't open it.

4705
02:41:23,160 --> 02:41:23,320
It's got...

4706
02:41:23,320 --> 02:41:24,140
Oh, just scratch.

4707
02:41:24,860 --> 02:41:25,580
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

4708
02:41:25,580 --> 02:41:26,660
You can't open a bottle.

4709
02:41:26,780 --> 02:41:27,540
Hold on, hold on.

4710
02:41:27,640 --> 02:41:28,680
Well, now you said it.

4711
02:41:28,700 --> 02:41:29,300
Now I'm going to do it.

4712
02:41:29,340 --> 02:41:31,860
I got a knife here.

4713
02:41:32,060 --> 02:41:32,180
Hold on.

4714
02:41:32,980 --> 02:41:33,620
A knife?

4715
02:41:34,440 --> 02:41:35,580
Yes, I got a knife.

4716
02:41:35,620 --> 02:41:36,140
I got a gun.

4717
02:41:36,220 --> 02:41:36,920
I got everything here.

4718
02:41:36,980 --> 02:41:37,620
Are you kidding me?

4719
02:41:37,640 --> 02:41:38,400
It is loaded.

4720
02:41:38,640 --> 02:41:39,600
This is Texas, man.

4721
02:41:39,680 --> 02:41:40,360
Okay, I got it.

4722
02:41:40,420 --> 02:41:40,780
I got it.

4723
02:41:40,800 --> 02:41:41,680
All right, here we go.

4724
02:41:42,000 --> 02:41:43,140
Let's open this up.

4725
02:41:44,880 --> 02:41:46,140
Okay, all right.

4726
02:41:46,660 --> 02:41:47,420
Just the tip.

4727
02:41:47,900 --> 02:41:48,940
Yeah, just the tip.

4728
02:41:49,280 --> 02:41:49,480
Okay.

4729
02:41:57,140 --> 02:41:59,280
Luckily, I have some water here.

4730
02:42:00,080 --> 02:42:01,640
It's not water that does the trick.

4731
02:42:01,720 --> 02:42:02,260
You need milk.

4732
02:42:02,380 --> 02:42:03,460
It's actually not that bad.

4733
02:42:04,240 --> 02:42:05,400
Yeah, I didn't think it would be that

4734
02:42:05,400 --> 02:42:05,680
hot.

4735
02:42:05,860 --> 02:42:07,420
I mean, because, you know, they know how...

4736
02:42:07,420 --> 02:42:09,540
People that make these sauces know what they're

4737
02:42:09,540 --> 02:42:09,800
doing.

4738
02:42:09,880 --> 02:42:11,400
They're not just making pure capsicum.

4739
02:42:11,420 --> 02:42:12,320
It does linger.

4740
02:42:12,960 --> 02:42:14,280
Yeah, that's what it's supposed to.

4741
02:42:14,340 --> 02:42:14,840
It does.

4742
02:42:15,200 --> 02:42:16,060
It's lingering.

4743
02:42:16,060 --> 02:42:18,600
So that brings us, thank God, to our

4744
02:42:18,600 --> 02:42:20,620
last Associate Executive Producer.

4745
02:42:20,860 --> 02:42:22,720
This is hard, John.

4746
02:42:23,180 --> 02:42:24,060
Linda Lou Patkin.

4747
02:42:24,200 --> 02:42:25,600
She is in Lakewood, Colorado.

4748
02:42:25,840 --> 02:42:28,140
$200, as she does every single show.

4749
02:42:28,200 --> 02:42:29,780
And we are incredibly grateful for it.

4750
02:42:30,240 --> 02:42:31,540
She says, Jobs Karma.

4751
02:42:31,860 --> 02:42:33,640

That's ImageMakersInc with a K.

4756
02:42:42,460 --> 02:42:45,320

4757

and the writer of resumes.

4758
02:42:46,980 --> 02:42:50,320
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4759
02:42:50,520 --> 02:42:52,020
Let's vote for jobs.

4760
02:42:52,580 --> 02:42:54,020
You've got karma.

4761
02:42:54,540 --> 02:42:55,980
And now I've got to be careful I

4762
02:42:55,980 --> 02:42:57,740
don't rub my eye by accident.

4763
02:42:57,900 --> 02:42:59,900
That would be a very big, big problem.

4764
02:43:00,040 --> 02:43:01,300
Wow, that is kind of spicy.

4765
02:43:01,560 --> 02:43:02,140
That is...

4766
02:43:02,140 --> 02:43:03,420
Yeah, it's just...

4767
02:43:03,420 --> 02:43:04,420
It's a tasty product.

4768
02:43:04,520 --> 02:43:05,780
You know what it says right here in

4769
02:43:05,780 --> 02:43:06,040
the bottle?

4770
02:43:06,140 --> 02:43:07,920
High quality, small batch.

4771
02:43:08,580 --> 02:43:10,340
Yeah, well, there you go.

4772
02:43:10,340 --> 02:43:12,600
Serious Pepper Hot Sauce Company.

4773
02:43:12,740 --> 02:43:13,480
Thank you very much.

4774
02:43:13,960 --> 02:43:15,040
I'm going to try it in my eggs

4775
02:43:15,040 --> 02:43:15,700
tomorrow morning.

4776
02:43:16,000 --> 02:43:17,480
And thank you to our executive and associate

4777
02:43:17,480 --> 02:43:22,260
executive producers for episode 1746 of the best

4778
02:43:22,260 --> 02:43:23,460
podcast in the universe.

4779
02:43:23,920 --> 02:43:26,620
We appreciate all of you supporting us.

4780
02:43:26,700 --> 02:43:28,720
Of course, people, time, talent, and treasure.

4781
02:43:28,840 --> 02:43:30,480
And we will thank the rest of our

4782
02:43:30,480 --> 02:43:30,780
producers.

4783
02:43:30,920 --> 02:43:32,540
$50 and above in our second segment.

4784
02:43:32,660 --> 02:43:35,720
Once again, congratulations to these executive and associate

4785
02:43:35,720 --> 02:43:36,620
executive producers.

4786
02:43:36,780 --> 02:43:38,120
The titles are worth a lifetime.

4787
02:43:38,120 --> 02:43:39,640
Our formula is this.

4788
02:43:40,560 --> 02:43:41,140
We go out.

4789
02:43:41,740 --> 02:43:42,980
We hit people in the mouth.

4790
02:43:53,640 --> 02:43:58,120
Whoo, baby.

4791
02:43:59,660 --> 02:44:00,480
It's hot.

4792
02:44:00,820 --> 02:44:01,300
It's very hot.

4793
02:44:01,400 --> 02:44:02,680
Makes you want more, doesn't it?

4794
02:44:02,800 --> 02:44:03,380
Oh, yeah.

4795
02:44:03,540 --> 02:44:04,900
I just can't wait to get more.

4796
02:44:05,480 --> 02:44:06,460
I'm waiting for more.

4797
02:44:06,660 --> 02:44:07,100
It's groovy.

4798
02:44:07,100 --> 02:44:08,120
More, please.

4799
02:44:08,260 --> 02:44:08,460
More.

4800
02:44:08,840 --> 02:44:09,140
No.

4801
02:44:10,720 --> 02:44:11,880
Absolutely not.

4802
02:44:13,300 --> 02:44:13,700
Okay.

4803
02:44:13,860 --> 02:44:16,580
Let's play these cyber attack clips and get

4804
02:44:16,580 --> 02:44:17,220
them out of here.

4805
02:44:17,700 --> 02:44:19,560
You've had those for three weeks.

4806
02:44:20,820 --> 02:44:22,040
Three shows.

4807
02:44:22,260 --> 02:44:22,480
Yeah.

4808
02:44:22,700 --> 02:44:23,680
Are they still valid?

4809
02:44:24,240 --> 02:44:25,380
I think so.

4810
02:44:25,780 --> 02:44:28,460
A house committee analyzes the ongoing threats the

4811
02:44:28,460 --> 02:44:32,360
Chinese Communist Party poses to American infrastructure through

4812
02:44:32,360 --> 02:44:34,340
cyber attacks and espionage.

4813
02:44:34,340 --> 02:44:37,160
NTD correspondent Jason Blair has more from the

4814
02:44:37,160 --> 02:44:37,820
nation's capital.

4815
02:44:38,740 --> 02:44:42,000
As we speak, the Chinese Communist Party is

4816
02:44:42,000 --> 02:44:44,980
waging a full-scale cyber war against the

4817
02:44:44,980 --> 02:44:45,780
American people.

4818
02:44:46,180 --> 02:44:48,460
The bipartisan House Select Committee on the Chinese

4819
02:44:48,460 --> 02:44:50,280
Communist Party had a hearing to talk about

4820
02:44:50,280 --> 02:44:53,360
what intelligence officials are saying about the current

4821
02:44:53,360 --> 02:44:56,240
threats from the Communist Party in regards to

4822
02:44:56,240 --> 02:44:59,000
cyber security, as well as what the U

4823
02:44:59,000 --> 02:45:01,180
.S. can do to defend against it.

4824
02:45:01,180 --> 02:45:03,560
One message that the committee wanted to get

4825
02:45:03,560 --> 02:45:05,620
across is that this is just one area

4826
02:45:05,620 --> 02:45:09,700
where the CCP is waging warfare against the

4827
02:45:09,700 --> 02:45:11,920
U.S. However, it is one area that

4828
02:45:11,920 --> 02:45:13,440
can do a lot of damage.

4829
02:45:13,980 --> 02:45:17,700
Chair Moolenaar said in his opening statement that

4830
02:45:17,700 --> 02:45:21,060
CCP's hackers have targeted things like water treatment

4831
02:45:21,060 --> 02:45:24,560
plants, power grids that power homes, as well

4832
02:45:24,560 --> 02:45:25,700
as even hospitals.

4833
02:45:26,420 --> 02:45:30,380
Moolenaar gave two recent examples of big cyber

4834
02:45:30,380 --> 02:45:34,400
attacks from Chinese hackers, one that targeted telecommunications

4835
02:45:34,400 --> 02:45:37,700
companies like AT&T and Verizon, where they

4836
02:45:37,700 --> 02:45:41,060
were able to gain access to millions of

4837
02:45:41,060 --> 02:45:44,140
phones, gaining access to sensitive data from those

4838
02:45:44,140 --> 02:45:47,440
users, as well as listening into conversations pretty

4839
02:45:47,440 --> 02:45:48,060
much at will.

4840
02:45:48,160 --> 02:45:51,660
And this ranged from your everyday person up

4841
02:45:51,660 --> 02:45:53,800
to even the president and vice president.

4842
02:45:53,800 --> 02:45:56,600
He also brought up another recent example where

4843
02:45:56,600 --> 02:45:59,960
Chinese hackers targeted critical infrastructure in the U

4844
02:45:59,960 --> 02:46:02,980
.S., gaining access to, like I mentioned earlier,

4845
02:46:03,360 --> 02:46:06,100
water treatment plants, power grids, things like that.

4846
02:46:06,400 --> 02:46:09,220
And intelligence officials are telling them that the

4847
02:46:09,220 --> 02:46:12,280
CCP plans to kind of use these whenever

4848
02:46:12,280 --> 02:46:14,420
they feel the need to in case there's

4849
02:46:14,420 --> 02:46:16,620
some kind of conflict, perhaps something to do

4850
02:46:16,620 --> 02:46:17,220
with Taiwan.

4851
02:46:17,420 --> 02:46:18,940
This is such horse crap.

4852
02:46:18,980 --> 02:46:21,120
We've been hearing this for so long.

4853
02:46:21,200 --> 02:46:22,700
Oh, the Chinese are in every...

4854
02:46:22,700 --> 02:46:24,920
It's almost like Iran is two weeks away

4855
02:46:24,920 --> 02:46:25,680
from a nuclear bomb.

4856
02:46:25,700 --> 02:46:27,300
Oh, they're getting the sensitive data from your

4857
02:46:27,300 --> 02:46:27,660
phone.

4858
02:46:27,800 --> 02:46:28,320
Oh, yeah.

4859
02:46:28,600 --> 02:46:29,760
What's the sensitive data they're getting?

4860
02:46:29,980 --> 02:46:33,440
China, CCP, could you please just bring down

4861
02:46:33,440 --> 02:46:34,900
all the social media networks?

4862
02:46:35,040 --> 02:46:35,680
That would be great.

4863
02:46:36,080 --> 02:46:38,440
That would make me a happy American.

4864
02:46:39,100 --> 02:46:40,840
I would even learn Mandarin.

4865
02:46:42,160 --> 02:46:42,880
Just to thank you.

4866
02:46:42,880 --> 02:46:43,300
You heard him.

4867
02:46:43,720 --> 02:46:44,700
Yeah, I mean it.

4868
02:46:44,840 --> 02:46:45,480
Bring that stuff down.

4869
02:46:45,480 --> 02:46:46,160
And he means it.

4870
02:46:46,300 --> 02:46:47,580
It's ruining our country.

4871
02:46:47,680 --> 02:46:48,040
I think you're right.

4872
02:46:48,420 --> 02:46:48,640
Yeah.

4873
02:46:48,800 --> 02:46:49,140
All right.

4874
02:46:49,420 --> 02:46:49,960
Clip two.

4875
02:46:49,960 --> 02:46:53,160
It is clear Xi Jinping's goal is to

4876
02:46:53,160 --> 02:46:56,120
sabotage our way of life when the time

4877
02:46:56,120 --> 02:46:57,480
is right for his regime.

4878
02:46:58,180 --> 02:47:00,480
We must understand that this isn't just a

4879
02:47:00,480 --> 02:47:01,080
cyber threat.

4880
02:47:01,600 --> 02:47:04,860
This is part of the CCP's larger strategy

4881
02:47:04,860 --> 02:47:07,120
to destroy the American way of life.

4882
02:47:07,360 --> 02:47:10,700
Fan chair Moulinard continues saying, quote, The CCP

4883
02:47:10,700 --> 02:47:14,480
views all forms of warfare, cyber economic, ideological

4884
02:47:14,480 --> 02:47:17,560
and military as different tools to achieve the

4885
02:47:17,560 --> 02:47:18,100
same goal.

4886
02:47:18,100 --> 02:47:21,320
Global domination through the defeat of its enemies.

4887
02:47:22,100 --> 02:47:23,480
As far as what the U.S. can

4888
02:47:23,480 --> 02:47:25,880
do to deter and defend against it, ranking

4889
02:47:25,880 --> 02:47:29,660
member Krishnamoorthy brought up some solutions to address

4890
02:47:29,660 --> 02:47:32,360
the weaknesses from the two most recent major

4891
02:47:32,360 --> 02:47:34,440
cyber attacks, as well as the U.S.

4892
02:47:34,600 --> 02:47:38,100
increasing the cyber talent workforce, both in the

4893
02:47:38,100 --> 02:47:39,580
government and the private sector.

4894
02:47:39,960 --> 02:47:42,000
And he also really wanted to emphasize that

4895
02:47:42,000 --> 02:47:43,820
the U.S. needs to start holding the

4896
02:47:43,820 --> 02:47:45,880
CCP accountable when these attacks happen.

4897
02:47:45,880 --> 02:47:48,240
It means imposing costs on the CCP each

4898
02:47:48,240 --> 02:47:49,340
time they attack us.

4899
02:47:49,780 --> 02:47:52,100
When Xi Jinping decides whether to launch another

4900
02:47:52,100 --> 02:47:55,240
attack, he needs to ask himself whether the

4901
02:47:55,240 --> 02:47:58,520
costs are worth the benefits.

4902
02:47:58,620 --> 02:47:59,060
No come.

4903
02:47:59,200 --> 02:48:01,220
These aren't just cyber criminals.

4904
02:48:01,540 --> 02:48:03,020
These aren't just asymmetrical threats.

4905
02:48:03,600 --> 02:48:05,880
These are real plan threat actors who have

4906
02:48:05,880 --> 02:48:08,420
made a decision and orchestrated attacks against the

4907
02:48:08,420 --> 02:48:10,660
United States, who largely have not been held

4908
02:48:10,660 --> 02:48:14,160
accountable by either Republican or Democratic administrations.

4909
02:48:14,160 --> 02:48:17,340
It's been three shows since this report, and

4910
02:48:17,340 --> 02:48:18,800
still they haven't done anything.

4911
02:48:18,980 --> 02:48:20,020
This is so disappointing.

4912
02:48:20,580 --> 02:48:22,980
You nailed it right away.

4913
02:48:23,380 --> 02:48:25,480
This is just the same as a week

4914
02:48:25,480 --> 02:48:29,420
away from making a nuclear bomb in Iran.

4915
02:48:30,120 --> 02:48:31,720
Iranians are going to have the bomb any

4916
02:48:31,720 --> 02:48:32,020
minute.

4917
02:48:32,240 --> 02:48:33,180
Yeah, yeah.

4918
02:48:33,640 --> 02:48:34,440
It's the same thing.

4919
02:48:34,580 --> 02:48:35,680
Exactly the same thing.

4920
02:48:35,840 --> 02:48:36,780
And you got a kicker.

4921
02:48:37,120 --> 02:48:39,600
One common message the committee has been relaying

4922
02:48:39,600 --> 02:48:42,080
is that the CCP is dead set on

4923
02:48:42,080 --> 02:48:44,620
using any means possible to achieve their goal

4924
02:48:44,620 --> 02:48:47,120
of dominating the world, and they have really

4925
02:48:47,120 --> 02:48:49,980
not shown any sign of wanting to peacefully

4926
02:48:49,980 --> 02:48:50,840
coexist.

4927
02:48:51,380 --> 02:48:54,420
You remember when the Internet of Things, that

4928
02:48:54,420 --> 02:48:55,800
they were going to take over that, and

4929
02:48:55,800 --> 02:48:57,460
they were going to blow us up with

4930
02:48:57,460 --> 02:48:57,580
that?

4931
02:48:57,860 --> 02:49:00,560
Hey, could you please fix my vacuum cleaner,

4932
02:49:00,740 --> 02:49:01,920
Internet of Things, China?

4933
02:49:02,460 --> 02:49:04,200
This is all just bull.

4934
02:49:04,360 --> 02:49:07,680
I am so tired of this fear mongering.

4935
02:49:08,060 --> 02:49:10,100
And China, they're so horrible.

4936
02:49:10,360 --> 02:49:13,720
These horrible people, they're rolling out safeguards for

4937
02:49:13,720 --> 02:49:14,700
our children.

4938
02:49:15,160 --> 02:49:17,320
Today, new ways to watch your kids and

4939
02:49:17,320 --> 02:49:18,740
the clock on TikTok.

4940
02:49:19,060 --> 02:49:21,820
The hugely popular social media app is rolling

4941
02:49:21,820 --> 02:49:24,520
out a feature called Balanced Digital Habits in

4942
02:49:24,520 --> 02:49:26,920
order to help parents watch their children's usage

4943
02:49:26,920 --> 02:49:29,040
and even control their child's access.

4944
02:49:29,340 --> 02:49:31,220
Oh no, are they trying to control my

4945
02:49:31,220 --> 02:49:31,960
child's access?

4946
02:49:32,280 --> 02:49:33,680
Oh wait, that's for me to control my

4947
02:49:33,680 --> 02:49:34,300
child's access.

4948
02:49:34,420 --> 02:49:35,460
Oh, thank you, CCP.

4949
02:49:35,960 --> 02:49:39,540
It really activates an important dialogue between parents

4950
02:49:39,540 --> 02:49:41,800
and kids and teens about when it's appropriate

4951
02:49:41,800 --> 02:49:43,500
to sit and scroll the app.

4952
02:49:43,580 --> 02:49:45,920
The first new feature is called Time Away.

4953
02:49:46,180 --> 02:49:48,200
This will allow parents to block kids and

4954
02:49:48,200 --> 02:49:50,320
teens from being on the app at certain

4955
02:49:50,320 --> 02:49:50,820
times.

4956
02:49:51,180 --> 02:49:53,100
For some families, that could mean blocking access

4957
02:49:53,100 --> 02:49:55,320
during the school day or even at night.

4958
02:49:55,420 --> 02:49:57,720
We can block your access to TikTok, John.

4959
02:49:58,380 --> 02:50:00,920
Another new feature is called Family Pairing.

4960
02:50:01,200 --> 02:50:02,520
Parents will be able to see who their

4961
02:50:02,520 --> 02:50:05,320
child is following on TikTok, who follows them,

4962
02:50:05,400 --> 02:50:06,880
and who their child has blocked.

4963
02:50:06,880 --> 02:50:09,960
It gives families even more transparency and potentially

4964
02:50:09,960 --> 02:50:10,800
protects kids.

4965
02:50:10,960 --> 02:50:12,100
This, by the way, I guess is the

4966
02:50:12,100 --> 02:50:13,420
local TikTok guy.

4967
02:50:13,760 --> 02:50:17,420
From following accounts that might provide misinformation, bad

4968
02:50:17,420 --> 02:50:19,140
information, even cyber bullying.

4969
02:50:19,300 --> 02:50:22,320
And finally, TikTok enacting a wind down feature

4970
02:50:22,320 --> 02:50:24,200
for teens under age 16.

4971
02:50:24,800 --> 02:50:26,380
After 10 p.m., if they're using the

4972
02:50:26,380 --> 02:50:28,560
app, their feed will be interrupted with a

4973
02:50:28,560 --> 02:50:29,840
full screen takeover.

4974
02:50:30,040 --> 02:50:32,640
It will have calming music and encourage the

4975
02:50:32,640 --> 02:50:34,320
teen to be mindful of the time.

4976
02:50:34,520 --> 02:50:36,520
The TikTok is trying to control our children

4977
02:50:36,520 --> 02:50:37,660
with calming music.

4978
02:50:37,880 --> 02:50:38,840
Stop it, CCP.

4979
02:50:39,580 --> 02:50:41,780
However, TikTok reporting that for those who have

4980
02:50:41,780 --> 02:50:44,000
used this feature, the kids kept using it

4981
02:50:44,000 --> 02:50:46,080
even after that full screen takeover.

4982
02:50:46,360 --> 02:50:48,480
We could include this potentially in a list

4983
02:50:48,480 --> 02:50:50,480
of bedtime hygiene.

4984
02:50:50,700 --> 02:50:53,740
So this could be turning down screens, getting

4985
02:50:53,740 --> 02:50:55,680
teeth brushed, making sure that everything is ready

4986
02:50:55,680 --> 02:50:56,300
so kids can sleep.

4987
02:50:56,300 --> 02:50:58,340
Wait a minute, did he say bed hygiene?

4988
02:50:58,560 --> 02:50:59,140
Hold on a second.

4989
02:50:59,380 --> 02:50:59,800
What did he call it?

4990
02:50:59,800 --> 02:51:02,220
Using it even after that full screen takeover.

4991
02:51:02,220 --> 02:51:04,560
We could include this potentially in a list

4992
02:51:04,560 --> 02:51:06,560
of bedtime hygiene.

4993
02:51:06,760 --> 02:51:09,800
So this could be turning down screens, getting

4994
02:51:09,800 --> 02:51:11,760
teeth brushed, making sure that everything is ready

4995
02:51:11,760 --> 02:51:14,480
so kids can slowly calm down, turn down

4996
02:51:14,480 --> 02:51:16,140
the energy and get to bed.

4997
02:51:16,920 --> 02:51:18,060
Slowly calm down?

4998
02:51:18,240 --> 02:51:18,760
What have you got?

4999
02:51:18,780 --> 02:51:20,480
What rattled up are your kids?

5000
02:51:20,700 --> 02:51:22,620
Well, TikTok does that to the kids.

5001
02:51:22,700 --> 02:51:23,380
It's no good.

5002
02:51:23,500 --> 02:51:25,540
You know, I'm thinking about this.

5003
02:51:26,220 --> 02:51:28,360
So we got TikTok, which who knows if

5004
02:51:28,360 --> 02:51:30,040
there'll ever be a deal on that.

5005
02:51:30,040 --> 02:51:32,620
We've got, we had the Internet of Things.

5006
02:51:32,720 --> 02:51:33,960
We had the cloud.

5007
02:51:34,740 --> 02:51:35,420
We had all that.

5008
02:51:35,560 --> 02:51:37,080
What did you have before the cloud?

5009
02:51:37,280 --> 02:51:38,400
What was before the cloud?

5010
02:51:39,280 --> 02:51:40,820
What were all the hypes we had?

5011
02:51:40,880 --> 02:51:41,780
Machine learning.

5012
02:51:42,400 --> 02:51:44,460
We had client server.

5013
02:51:44,620 --> 02:51:45,620
Oh, client server.

5014
02:51:45,780 --> 02:51:46,840
Which was pre-cloud.

5015
02:51:47,440 --> 02:51:48,280
Net suite.

5016
02:51:48,540 --> 02:51:51,460
We had dumb terminals came back again briefly.

5017
02:51:51,580 --> 02:51:52,180
Remember that?

5018
02:51:52,760 --> 02:51:53,040
Yeah.

5019
02:51:53,160 --> 02:51:55,400
Oracle came out with a, and of course

5020
02:51:55,400 --> 02:51:56,480
you can go back to web TV.

5021
02:51:56,680 --> 02:51:58,480
But now we have the AI report, the

5022
02:51:58,480 --> 02:51:59,380
AI hype.

5023
02:52:00,100 --> 02:52:03,280
And the Mag 7, Mag 7, everything's down.

5024
02:52:03,580 --> 02:52:03,760
Yeah.

5025
02:52:04,100 --> 02:52:06,200
Because it sucks and it's no good.

5026
02:52:06,260 --> 02:52:08,040
And it's just good for making memes and

5027
02:52:08,040 --> 02:52:09,600
songs and funny videos.

5028
02:52:09,860 --> 02:52:11,180
But, oh, it's the future.

5029
02:52:11,780 --> 02:52:12,480
And now...

5030
02:52:12,480 --> 02:52:13,620
That is the future.

5031
02:52:13,820 --> 02:52:14,520
Funny videos.

5032
02:52:14,800 --> 02:52:15,580
Well, yeah.

5033
02:52:15,720 --> 02:52:17,620
If people actually had to pay what it

5034
02:52:17,620 --> 02:52:19,780
costs, we wouldn't have those either.

5035
02:52:20,580 --> 02:52:21,820
But there was a report that came out

5036
02:52:21,820 --> 02:52:25,200
two weeks ago from T.D. Cowan, an

5037
02:52:25,200 --> 02:52:25,640
analyst.

5038
02:52:26,460 --> 02:52:29,300
And they reported something peculiar.

5039
02:52:30,100 --> 02:52:32,240
And I brought two clips of it because

5040
02:52:32,240 --> 02:52:33,640
I think it's kind of interesting.

5041
02:52:34,040 --> 02:52:36,400
Where we had all the hyperscalers.

5042
02:52:36,780 --> 02:52:37,740
We have a million...

5043
02:52:37,740 --> 02:52:40,640
The oil baron is the luckiest SOB I

5044
02:52:40,640 --> 02:52:40,880
know.

5045
02:52:41,260 --> 02:52:44,360
He sold his $3 million rants for $15

5046
02:52:44,360 --> 02:52:46,580
million to some guys who wanted to put

5047
02:52:46,580 --> 02:52:47,840
a data center on it.

5048
02:52:47,900 --> 02:52:49,900
Just because he's near a transformer.

5049
02:52:50,220 --> 02:52:52,020
So they can get power to it.

5050
02:52:52,220 --> 02:52:53,440
And there's no people around.

5051
02:52:53,620 --> 02:52:56,020
So the, you know, so the data center

5052
02:52:56,020 --> 02:52:57,220
won't bother them.

5053
02:52:57,220 --> 02:52:59,080
And he'll be able to buy that thing

5054
02:52:59,080 --> 02:53:00,700
back pennies on the dollar.

5055
02:53:00,840 --> 02:53:04,220
Because Microsoft is pulling out of data centers.

5056
02:53:04,520 --> 02:53:06,920
So what's going on with Microsoft's data center

5057
02:53:06,920 --> 02:53:07,300
spending?

5058
02:53:07,680 --> 02:53:09,320
Yeah, well, just to step back a bit.

5059
02:53:09,460 --> 02:53:11,880
Microsoft has been one of the big technology

5060
02:53:11,880 --> 02:53:13,160
companies that invest...

5061
02:53:13,160 --> 02:53:15,340
Is investing the most in AI and AI

5062
02:53:15,340 --> 02:53:16,660
data centers in particular.

5063
02:53:17,140 --> 02:53:19,920
They've talked about spending $80 billion this year

5064
02:53:19,920 --> 02:53:21,240
on data center capacity.

5065
02:53:21,540 --> 02:53:23,360
So this note from T.D. Cowan really

5066
02:53:23,360 --> 02:53:24,640
raised a lot of questions.

5067
02:53:24,640 --> 02:53:26,340
They said that there's evidence.

5068
02:53:26,480 --> 02:53:27,600
They did some channel checks.

5069
02:53:27,760 --> 02:53:29,920
They said that there's evidence that Microsoft has

5070
02:53:29,920 --> 02:53:32,320
been canceling leases at data centers.

5071
02:53:32,780 --> 02:53:35,180
Totaling a couple hundred megawatts of data.

5072
02:53:35,320 --> 02:53:37,840
They also said that they're stopping something called

5073
02:53:37,840 --> 02:53:38,640
SOQs.

5074
02:53:38,720 --> 02:53:39,780
The statement of qualifications.

5075
02:53:40,080 --> 02:53:41,700
Which is sort of the step before leases.

5076
02:53:42,140 --> 02:53:44,020
In other words, they're pulling back pretty dramatically

5077
02:53:44,020 --> 02:53:46,120
from some of their data center commitments in

5078
02:53:46,120 --> 02:53:48,420
the U.S. And they're reallocating some of

5079
02:53:48,420 --> 02:53:50,540
the spending that they were planning on doing

5080
02:53:50,540 --> 02:53:53,100
internationally into the U.S. And overall, the

5081
02:53:53,100 --> 02:53:55,060
analysts asked the question of whether Microsoft is

5082
02:53:55,060 --> 02:53:57,200
getting concerned about whether AI is going to

5083
02:53:57,200 --> 02:53:58,120
live up to the hype.

5084
02:53:58,300 --> 02:54:01,060
Whether, in fact, companies like Microsoft are pulling

5085
02:54:01,060 --> 02:54:02,840
back a bit because they have not seen

5086
02:54:02,840 --> 02:54:04,480
the pickup in demand for data centers.

5087
02:54:04,740 --> 02:54:06,660
Now, to be clear, Microsoft has not confirmed

5088
02:54:06,660 --> 02:54:06,880
this.

5089
02:54:06,980 --> 02:54:08,020
They haven't talked about these details.

5090
02:54:08,380 --> 02:54:09,440
We got in touch with them and they

5091
02:54:09,440 --> 02:54:12,080
said they still are planning on spending that

5092
02:54:12,080 --> 02:54:14,120
$80 billion through the end of their fiscal

5093
02:54:14,120 --> 02:54:15,700
year, which is coming up in June.

5094
02:54:16,020 --> 02:54:17,520
They didn't talk about what they're doing after

5095
02:54:17,520 --> 02:54:17,760
that.

5096
02:54:17,780 --> 02:54:19,000
But they said they're definitely going to spend

5097
02:54:19,000 --> 02:54:19,740
that amount now.

5098
02:54:19,740 --> 02:54:21,760
So it does raise questions about where exactly

5099
02:54:21,760 --> 02:54:24,080
Microsoft is spending this money, what it means

5100
02:54:24,080 --> 02:54:25,780
and what the long-term demand for AI

5101
02:54:25,780 --> 02:54:26,560
is going to be.

5102
02:54:26,800 --> 02:54:28,740
And the second part of this report makes

5103
02:54:28,740 --> 02:54:31,460
me smile even bigger because the air is

5104
02:54:31,460 --> 02:54:32,380
coming out of the bubble.

5105
02:54:32,520 --> 02:54:33,900
Yeah, and this, Peter, I guess, suggests a

5106
02:54:33,900 --> 02:54:35,760
material slowdown in international leasing.

5107
02:54:35,940 --> 02:54:38,540
What would be the repercussions for tech in

5108
02:54:38,540 --> 02:54:39,680
general, but also beyond?

5109
02:54:40,340 --> 02:54:43,860
Well, we've seen these fears ricochet through the

5110
02:54:43,860 --> 02:54:45,040
market pretty rapidly.

5111
02:54:45,040 --> 02:54:48,280
Of course, there's hundreds of billions of dollars

5112
02:54:48,280 --> 02:54:50,480
being spent on AI capacity right now.

5113
02:54:50,820 --> 02:54:52,440
Microsoft is just one of the companies.

5114
02:54:52,680 --> 02:54:53,960
Meta, Amazon, Alphabet.

5115
02:54:54,480 --> 02:54:57,040
We saw OpenAI and Stargate talk about spending

5116
02:54:57,040 --> 02:54:59,140
$500 billion on capacity.

5117
02:54:59,380 --> 02:55:01,100
So these are huge amounts of money that

5118
02:55:01,100 --> 02:55:03,660
money is being spent at companies like NVIDIA,

5119
02:55:03,820 --> 02:55:06,200
in particular, to buy their chips, to put

5120
02:55:06,200 --> 02:55:07,240
them into data centers.

5121
02:55:07,420 --> 02:55:09,040
There are real estate deals that are behind

5122
02:55:09,040 --> 02:55:09,260
this.

5123
02:55:09,420 --> 02:55:12,160
There's a whole ecosystem, which has really been

5124
02:55:12,160 --> 02:55:14,280
the biggest boom area of technology over the

5125
02:55:14,280 --> 02:55:14,900
past few years.

5126
02:55:15,160 --> 02:55:17,120
That's fueled the stock market boom, too, where

5127
02:55:17,120 --> 02:55:19,220
you've seen NVIDIA race to a $3 trillion

5128
02:55:19,220 --> 02:55:19,860
company.

5129
02:55:20,260 --> 02:55:22,520
So if this spending starts to falter, if

5130
02:55:22,520 --> 02:55:25,080
you start to see people begin to believe

5131
02:55:25,080 --> 02:55:26,860
that AI demand is not going to live

5132
02:55:26,860 --> 02:55:28,260
up to all this hype, maybe they don't

5133
02:55:28,260 --> 02:55:30,040
need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars.

5134
02:55:30,160 --> 02:55:31,920
Maybe it's a bit less than that.

5135
02:55:32,060 --> 02:55:33,240
That's going to take some air out of

5136
02:55:33,240 --> 02:55:34,220
this bubble pretty quickly.

5137
02:55:35,740 --> 02:55:37,920
I'm a happy man, finally.

5138
02:55:38,700 --> 02:55:39,580
Let's find a new hype.

5139
02:55:40,920 --> 02:55:42,960
Why, you wanted to go to another hype?

5140
02:55:43,220 --> 02:55:44,560
Well, another one.

5141
02:55:44,720 --> 02:55:47,720
The Chinese announced a quantum computer.

5142
02:55:48,700 --> 02:55:50,260
Have you heard this?

5143
02:55:50,440 --> 02:55:52,500
Well, I have been predicting this for a

5144
02:55:52,500 --> 02:55:53,140
long time.

5145
02:55:53,260 --> 02:55:54,160
The pivot to quantum.

5146
02:55:55,840 --> 02:55:59,980
They announced something like a quadrillion times more

5147
02:55:59,980 --> 02:56:00,660
powerful.

5148
02:56:00,920 --> 02:56:01,380
Qubits.

5149
02:56:01,580 --> 02:56:02,100
Which is...

5150
02:56:02,100 --> 02:56:03,140
Quadrillion more...

5151
02:56:03,140 --> 02:56:05,560
Can you just admit that I have been

5152
02:56:05,560 --> 02:56:08,120
predicting the pivot from AI to quantum for

5153
02:56:08,120 --> 02:56:09,020
a long time?

5154
02:56:12,230 --> 02:56:14,350
I think they're one in the same.

5155
02:56:14,870 --> 02:56:16,110
Oh, come on, man.

5156
02:56:16,190 --> 02:56:17,570
I've been saying the hype...

5157
02:56:17,570 --> 02:56:18,570
Come on, man.

5158
02:56:18,690 --> 02:56:21,530
I've been saying the hype would pivot from

5159
02:56:21,530 --> 02:56:24,210
AI and...

5160
02:56:24,210 --> 02:56:26,770
Well, if you talk about a dog of

5161
02:56:26,770 --> 02:56:30,530
a pivot, pivot to oblivion, yeah, okay.

5162
02:56:30,950 --> 02:56:31,710
You nailed it.

5163
02:56:31,850 --> 02:56:32,590
Yeah, thank you.

5164
02:56:32,750 --> 02:56:34,510
I mean, I did nail it because it's

5165
02:56:34,510 --> 02:56:35,090
just true.

5166
02:56:35,690 --> 02:56:36,870
They have nothing.

5167
02:56:36,970 --> 02:56:37,630
It is nothing.

5168
02:56:37,770 --> 02:56:38,730
It's going nowhere.

5169
02:56:39,850 --> 02:56:41,150
Customers don't want it.

5170
02:56:42,750 --> 02:56:44,290
Who uses copilot?

5171
02:56:44,370 --> 02:56:45,550
Oh, yeah, I use it for all my

5172
02:56:45,550 --> 02:56:46,110
programming.

5173
02:56:46,290 --> 02:56:46,630
Okay.

5174
02:56:47,370 --> 02:56:47,650
Clippy.

5175
02:56:48,310 --> 02:56:50,730
Yeah, it's a very expensive clippy.

5176
02:56:52,070 --> 02:56:55,850
So that will bring down our refi interest

5177
02:56:55,850 --> 02:56:56,870
rates real quick.

5178
02:56:57,210 --> 02:56:59,050
But I think they've been keeping this report

5179
02:56:59,050 --> 02:57:00,130
as quiet as possible.

5180
02:57:00,430 --> 02:57:02,550
I even read that Microsoft is now saying,

5181
02:57:02,990 --> 02:57:06,370
well, you know, instead of nuclear plants, we'll

5182
02:57:06,370 --> 02:57:07,710
just use gas turbines.

5183
02:57:07,850 --> 02:57:08,230
That's okay.

5184
02:57:08,410 --> 02:57:09,590
We don't need to build nukes.

5185
02:57:09,590 --> 02:57:11,230
They're not going to build it.

5186
02:57:11,310 --> 02:57:11,990
They're pulling out.

5187
02:57:12,190 --> 02:57:13,890
The whole thing is a house of cards.

5188
02:57:14,050 --> 02:57:17,330
It's going to come flopping down, flopping down.

5189
02:57:18,650 --> 02:57:20,170
Now, you think it's still going to last

5190
02:57:20,170 --> 02:57:21,130
two years, but I don't.

5191
02:57:21,230 --> 02:57:21,910
I think it's over.

5192
02:57:22,930 --> 02:57:25,090
I have at least two years on it.

5193
02:57:25,210 --> 02:57:26,230
No, no, no.

5194
02:57:26,570 --> 02:57:28,650
I'm saying before the year is out, before

5195
02:57:28,650 --> 02:57:29,370
the year is out.

5196
02:57:29,530 --> 02:57:31,130
Before the year, before this year.

5197
02:57:31,270 --> 02:57:32,050
This year, yeah.

5198
02:57:32,570 --> 02:57:34,350
Is out, it's going to be a flop.

5199
02:57:35,190 --> 02:57:35,450
Yeah.

5200
02:57:35,610 --> 02:57:37,210
And we'll stop talking about it.

5201
02:57:38,190 --> 02:57:38,730
What do you mean?

5202
02:57:38,730 --> 02:57:41,350
I'll have to be celebrating and dancing on

5203
02:57:41,350 --> 02:57:42,010
my victory.

5204
02:57:42,230 --> 02:57:44,490
Well, I mean, we had to stop talking

5205
02:57:44,490 --> 02:57:46,570
about it as a positive thing that's important.

5206
02:57:47,310 --> 02:57:47,790
Okay.

5207
02:57:48,350 --> 02:57:51,490
I love you just from as of December,

5208
02:57:52,710 --> 02:57:54,210
everything will be ridiculed.

5209
02:57:54,730 --> 02:57:54,990
Yes.

5210
02:57:55,610 --> 02:57:57,550
I love people that said, yeah, the troll

5211
02:57:57,550 --> 02:58:00,050
room, like, Adam's going to be surprised.

5212
02:58:00,190 --> 02:58:00,610
Oh yeah.

5213
02:58:00,670 --> 02:58:04,050
When AI takes over the world, it's good.

5214
02:58:04,310 --> 02:58:06,470
Even Elon Musk shows up on Joe Rogan.

5215
02:58:06,470 --> 02:58:09,030
All he's got is the unhinged chat bot

5216
02:58:09,030 --> 02:58:13,370
from Grok that just uses expletives the whole

5217
02:58:13,370 --> 02:58:13,710
time.

5218
02:58:13,830 --> 02:58:14,050
Wow.

5219
02:58:14,150 --> 02:58:15,050
It's so impressive.

5220
02:58:15,370 --> 02:58:17,230
I'm just blown away by this stuff.

5221
02:58:17,290 --> 02:58:18,210
It's so great.

5222
02:58:19,070 --> 02:58:21,310
And people talk to these bots like they're

5223
02:58:21,310 --> 02:58:22,830
real and they send me the output.

5224
02:58:23,410 --> 02:58:24,510
Look what Grok said.

5225
02:58:24,810 --> 02:58:26,550
If you have that in your email, it's

5226
02:58:26,550 --> 02:58:26,930
delete.

5227
02:58:28,270 --> 02:58:29,630
I'm not going to read that.

5228
02:58:30,490 --> 02:58:31,950
It's a parlor trick.

5229
02:58:32,770 --> 02:58:34,470
It's time to catch up with the Gaza.

5230
02:58:34,470 --> 02:58:36,810
I have a clip, the Gaza, Gaza, Gaza

5231
02:58:36,810 --> 02:58:37,710
clip from NPR.

5232
02:58:37,830 --> 02:58:38,730
So we know what the hell is going

5233
02:58:38,730 --> 02:58:39,030
on.

5234
02:58:39,250 --> 02:58:41,510
Top Arab diplomats have met with Trump's Mideast

5235
02:58:41,510 --> 02:58:44,250
envoy, Steve Witkoff, and presented him with Egypt's

5236
02:58:44,250 --> 02:58:46,230
reconstruction plan for Gaza.

5237
02:58:46,710 --> 02:58:48,910
NPR's Ayah Batrawi reports the plan as a

5238
02:58:48,910 --> 02:58:51,750
support of all Arab states and several European

5239
02:58:51,750 --> 02:58:52,510
nations.

5240
02:58:52,910 --> 02:58:55,810
It counters Trump's proposal of displacing Palestinians from

5241
02:58:55,810 --> 02:58:56,210
Gaza.

5242
02:58:56,350 --> 02:58:59,170
Qatar says diplomats from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the

5243
02:58:59,170 --> 02:59:02,070
UAE and others, including a representative from the

5244
02:59:02,070 --> 02:59:05,110
Palestinian Liberation Organization met with Witkoff and agreed

5245
02:59:05,110 --> 02:59:07,950
to continue consultations and coordination on the plan.

5246
02:59:08,330 --> 02:59:10,550
Witkoff, who's in Doha for Gaza ceasefire talks,

5247
02:59:10,770 --> 02:59:13,290
has called the Egyptian reconstruction plan a good

5248
02:59:13,290 --> 02:59:14,230
faith first step.

5249
02:59:14,650 --> 02:59:17,230
Egyptian foreign ministry spokesman Tamim Khalaf tells NPR

5250
02:59:17,230 --> 02:59:20,130
engaging the Trump administration on the plan is

5251
02:59:20,130 --> 02:59:20,450
key.

5252
02:59:20,630 --> 02:59:22,230
The plan that has been endorsed by the

5253
02:59:22,230 --> 02:59:25,530
Arab world was developed and formulated to ensure

5254
02:59:25,530 --> 02:59:27,750
that Palestinians and Gaza remain in their homeland.

5255
02:59:27,990 --> 02:59:30,570
Israel's far right government, meanwhile, is preparing plans

5256
02:59:30,570 --> 02:59:33,970
to facilitate Trump's proposal to permanently relocate Palestinians

5257
02:59:33,970 --> 02:59:34,790
out of Gaza.

5258
02:59:37,350 --> 02:59:40,470
The Arab world took a hint from Trump.

5259
02:59:41,250 --> 02:59:43,750
They know you guys are staying there.

5260
02:59:44,690 --> 02:59:47,330
We don't want these guys floating around.

5261
02:59:47,690 --> 02:59:48,290
Hey, how about this?

5262
02:59:48,330 --> 02:59:51,070
My buddy just became the new chief information

5263
02:59:51,070 --> 02:59:52,890
officer of the Department of Energy.

5264
02:59:53,530 --> 02:59:54,670
Who's your buddy?

5265
02:59:55,190 --> 02:59:55,550
Ross.

5266
02:59:56,750 --> 02:59:58,070
Ross, the intern?

5267
02:59:58,430 --> 02:59:58,810
Yes.

5268
02:59:59,390 --> 03:00:01,170
Well, this was my guy.

5269
03:00:01,170 --> 03:00:05,530
Energy appoints Twitter, Google, and Doge alum, but

5270
03:00:05,530 --> 03:00:08,290
I wasn't allowed to mention anything, as new

5271
03:00:08,290 --> 03:00:08,850
CIO.

5272
03:00:09,590 --> 03:00:10,550
Well, that's interesting.

5273
03:00:11,530 --> 03:00:12,610
Wonder what he's going to do.

5274
03:00:14,980 --> 03:00:15,180
Hmm.

5275
03:00:16,280 --> 03:00:17,220
Oh, congratulations.

5276
03:00:17,520 --> 03:00:19,800
Yeah, we have an inside Lincoln bedroom for

5277
03:00:19,800 --> 03:00:20,300
us, John.

5278
03:00:20,520 --> 03:00:21,680
We're on the inside.

5279
03:00:21,940 --> 03:00:22,440
It's about time.

5280
03:00:22,600 --> 03:00:24,320
We're on the inside, finally.

5281
03:00:25,820 --> 03:00:29,940
Update on the horrific crash between the Army

5282
03:00:29,940 --> 03:00:33,880
helicopter and the jet in D.C., and

5283
03:00:33,880 --> 03:00:35,580
this does not come as a surprise.

5284
03:00:35,760 --> 03:00:38,320
Federal investigators looking into the cause of that

5285
03:00:38,320 --> 03:00:41,460
deadly collision between a passenger plane and an

5286
03:00:41,460 --> 03:00:42,500
Army helicopter.

5287
03:00:42,960 --> 03:00:45,480
They're pushing for restrictions on some chopper flights

5288
03:00:45,480 --> 03:00:46,780
near the nation's capital.

5289
03:00:47,280 --> 03:00:49,660
67 people were killed when the American Airlines

5290
03:00:49,660 --> 03:00:52,360
jet and helicopter hit each other in Washington,

5291
03:00:52,500 --> 03:00:53,720
D.C., back in January.

5292
03:00:54,160 --> 03:00:57,520
The National Transportation Safety Board chairwoman says the

5293
03:00:57,520 --> 03:01:00,660
current amount of separation between planes and choppers

5294
03:01:00,660 --> 03:01:03,880
at Reagan National Airport isn't enough and is

5295
03:01:03,880 --> 03:01:04,420
unsafe.

5296
03:01:04,780 --> 03:01:09,040
They pose an intolerable risk to aviation safety.

5297
03:01:09,420 --> 03:01:12,580
And the NTSB is recommending the FAA find

5298
03:01:12,580 --> 03:01:15,680
a permanent solution for alternate routes for helicopters

5299
03:01:15,680 --> 03:01:18,080
when two of the airport's runways are in

5300
03:01:18,080 --> 03:01:18,460
use.

5301
03:01:18,920 --> 03:01:21,640
Investigators found there were more than 15,000

5302
03:01:21,640 --> 03:01:24,820
cases of planes receiving alerts about helicopters being

5303
03:01:24,820 --> 03:01:28,740
in close proximity between October of 2021 and

5304
03:01:28,740 --> 03:01:30,000
December of 2024.

5305
03:01:30,420 --> 03:01:33,580
Oh man, it was just an accident waiting

5306
03:01:33,580 --> 03:01:34,200
to happen.

5307
03:01:35,020 --> 03:01:38,380
And also I learned from our aviation pal

5308
03:01:38,380 --> 03:01:42,000
on the inside that that is the airport

5309
03:01:42,000 --> 03:01:45,340
with the highest number of missed approaches because

5310
03:01:45,340 --> 03:01:45,960
of this.

5311
03:01:46,200 --> 03:01:48,500
Because of that, you know, swing around to

5312
03:01:48,500 --> 03:01:51,260
runway 33 and then, oh, there's a chopper

5313
03:01:51,260 --> 03:01:53,440
here, let me pull up and they go

5314
03:01:53,440 --> 03:01:53,860
around.

5315
03:01:53,860 --> 03:01:55,640
That place is a mess.

5316
03:01:56,460 --> 03:01:58,000
Yeah, well, they get, they pull the plug

5317
03:01:58,000 --> 03:01:58,840
on these choppers.

5318
03:01:58,960 --> 03:01:59,500
Yeah, they do.

5319
03:02:00,480 --> 03:02:02,580
And my final clip then before we go

5320
03:02:02,580 --> 03:02:04,460
and thank some more people, we have John's

5321
03:02:04,460 --> 03:02:05,980
tip of the day, end of show mixes,

5322
03:02:06,200 --> 03:02:09,420
the ISO off, as we call it, and

5323
03:02:09,420 --> 03:02:11,660
we have Commodores today, a couple of Commodores,

5324
03:02:12,140 --> 03:02:15,100
is the finally a move that is of

5325
03:02:15,100 --> 03:02:18,460
some substance against the nut job climate change

5326
03:02:18,460 --> 03:02:20,780
agenda of the previous administrations.

5327
03:02:21,440 --> 03:02:23,740
Driving a dagger straight to the heart of

5328
03:02:23,740 --> 03:02:26,660
the climate change religion, at least that is

5329
03:02:26,660 --> 03:02:30,040
how Lee Zeldin, the administrator of America's Environmental

5330
03:02:30,040 --> 03:02:34,060
Protection Agency, described his 31 step plan to

5331
03:02:34,060 --> 03:02:36,800
deregulate US environmental policies.

5332
03:02:37,120 --> 03:02:40,360
Today, I'm pleased to make the largest deregulatory

5333
03:02:40,360 --> 03:02:42,480
announcement in US history.

5334
03:02:42,800 --> 03:02:45,220
Zeldin explained that his plan would benefit the

5335
03:02:45,220 --> 03:02:48,300
economy by rolling back rules that unfairly burdened

5336
03:02:48,300 --> 03:02:51,540
American industry and which he claimed cost trillions

5337
03:02:51,540 --> 03:02:54,820
of annually without providing any further detail.

5338
03:02:55,240 --> 03:02:57,760
Many of the moves would affect landmark regulations

5339
03:02:57,760 --> 03:03:00,340
aimed at protecting clean air and water.

5340
03:03:00,780 --> 03:03:03,340
Power plant emission standards established by the Biden

5341
03:03:03,340 --> 03:03:05,680
administration are to be reconsidered.

5342
03:03:06,200 --> 03:03:08,600
The limits were key to reducing pollution linked

5343
03:03:08,600 --> 03:03:11,260
to the gas and coal industries, including greenhouse

5344
03:03:11,260 --> 03:03:14,460
gases, mercury and other toxic metals.

5345
03:03:14,860 --> 03:03:16,980
Zeldin also said that he plans to rewrite

5346
03:03:16,980 --> 03:03:21,720
the agency's landmark 2009 endangerment finding, which officially

5347
03:03:21,720 --> 03:03:25,020
declared that greenhouse gases endanger public health and

5348
03:03:25,020 --> 03:03:25,420
welfare.

5349
03:03:25,740 --> 03:03:28,900
Among many other actions, today's momentous day also

5350
03:03:28,900 --> 03:03:32,880
includes the 2009 endangerment finding, along with all

5351
03:03:32,880 --> 03:03:34,340
actions that rely on it.

5352
03:03:34,740 --> 03:03:37,080
I've been told the endangerment finding is considered

5353
03:03:37,080 --> 03:03:40,080
the holy grail of the climate change religion.

5354
03:03:40,300 --> 03:03:43,220
The endangerment finding is the legal cornerstone for

5355
03:03:43,220 --> 03:03:46,420
US action to fight climate change and underlies

5356
03:03:46,420 --> 03:03:48,620
the legal arguments for numerous regulations.

5357
03:03:48,620 --> 03:03:51,140
Rolling it back was one of the recommendations

5358
03:03:51,140 --> 03:03:53,480
of the controversial project 2025.

5359
03:03:54,280 --> 03:03:56,940
A few hours earlier, Zeldin also announced he

5360
03:03:56,940 --> 03:03:59,640
was cutting 20 billion dollars worth of climate

5361
03:03:59,640 --> 03:04:00,160
grants.

5362
03:04:00,440 --> 03:04:03,820
Nice, yeah, that's some action.

5363
03:04:04,620 --> 03:04:06,280
Cut all that nonsense.

5364
03:04:06,640 --> 03:04:08,560
That Zeldin character, you know, he ran for,

5365
03:04:08,660 --> 03:04:11,400
I think, governor of New York.

5366
03:04:11,540 --> 03:04:13,080
He was always on Gutfeld.

5367
03:04:13,540 --> 03:04:14,180
Oh, really?

5368
03:04:14,540 --> 03:04:16,660
Yeah, he's another Fox guy.

5369
03:04:17,760 --> 03:04:19,100
Another Fox guy.

5370
03:04:19,840 --> 03:04:22,940
But you put those guys, you get those

5371
03:04:22,940 --> 03:04:25,480
guys because he had the chops, he was

5372
03:04:25,480 --> 03:04:28,040
a politician, but you put him on TV

5373
03:04:28,040 --> 03:04:29,960
for a long enough time so they get

5374
03:04:29,960 --> 03:04:32,360
used to being in with the cameras and,

5375
03:04:32,520 --> 03:04:36,460
you know, so they become savvy, media savvy,

5376
03:04:36,660 --> 03:04:37,880
which is, you know, you don't go through

5377
03:04:37,880 --> 03:04:40,320
training, you just get that way because you're

5378
03:04:40,320 --> 03:04:41,340
on the air all the time.

5379
03:04:41,900 --> 03:04:44,020
And so you make him the guy, boom,

5380
03:04:44,100 --> 03:04:46,600
you bring him in and he's, you know,

5381
03:04:46,660 --> 03:04:48,120
and he knows he's not shy.

5382
03:04:48,360 --> 03:04:50,900
So he doesn't go, he doesn't freeze up.

5383
03:04:51,960 --> 03:04:52,380
Yeah.

5384
03:04:53,760 --> 03:04:55,400
I liked it when he was on, he

5385
03:04:55,400 --> 03:04:57,320
was kind of funny, he wasn't real funny,

5386
03:04:57,340 --> 03:04:58,380
but he was funny enough.

5387
03:04:59,340 --> 03:05:01,380
And I didn't know they were grooming him,

5388
03:05:01,440 --> 03:05:02,220
though, that's interesting.

5389
03:05:03,260 --> 03:05:05,360
And actually, I do have a final, final

5390
03:05:05,360 --> 03:05:06,920
clip because it was just, it was just

5391
03:05:06,920 --> 03:05:07,320
funny.

5392
03:05:07,760 --> 03:05:10,120
Then it was completely unnecessary, but still very

5393
03:05:10,120 --> 03:05:10,440
funny.

5394
03:05:10,540 --> 03:05:18,500
This is the misgendering, the misgendering of Representative

5395
03:05:18,500 --> 03:05:24,280
Keith Self, who misgendered Representative Sarah McBride.

5396
03:05:25,040 --> 03:05:27,100
Oh, this was just a horrible moment.

5397
03:05:27,460 --> 03:05:28,900
It's a horrible moment.

5398
03:05:29,260 --> 03:05:30,380
What have we come to?

5399
03:05:30,600 --> 03:05:33,500
I now recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr.

5400
03:05:33,580 --> 03:05:33,980
McBride.

5401
03:05:35,680 --> 03:05:36,980
Thank you, Madam Chair.

5402
03:05:37,640 --> 03:05:39,440
Ranking Member Keating, also wonderful.

5403
03:05:39,700 --> 03:05:42,260
Mr. Chairman, could you repeat your introduction again,

5404
03:05:42,300 --> 03:05:42,480
please?

5405
03:05:43,160 --> 03:05:46,940
Yes, it's a, it's a, we have set

5406
03:05:46,940 --> 03:05:48,580
the standard on the floor of the House,

5407
03:05:49,060 --> 03:05:50,080
and I'm simply...

5408
03:05:50,680 --> 03:05:52,200
What is that standard, Mr. Chairman?

5409
03:05:53,440 --> 03:05:55,540
Would you repeat what you just said when

5410
03:05:55,540 --> 03:05:58,800
you introduced a duly elected representative from the

5411
03:05:58,800 --> 03:06:00,360
United States of America, please?

5412
03:06:00,880 --> 03:06:01,340
I will.

5413
03:06:02,140 --> 03:06:04,560
The representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.

5414
03:06:05,460 --> 03:06:08,100
Mr. Chairman, you are out of order.

5415
03:06:09,600 --> 03:06:11,280
Mr. Chairman, have you no decency?

5416
03:06:12,480 --> 03:06:13,920
I mean, I have come to know you

5417
03:06:13,920 --> 03:06:15,720
a little bit, but this is not decent.

5418
03:06:15,940 --> 03:06:17,000
We will continue this.

5419
03:06:17,120 --> 03:06:19,040
You will not continue it with me unless

5420
03:06:19,040 --> 03:06:22,000
you introduce a duly elected representative the right

5421
03:06:22,000 --> 03:06:22,400
way.

5422
03:06:24,460 --> 03:06:25,860
This hearing is adjourned.

5423
03:06:28,320 --> 03:06:30,460
Now, what was interesting about that clip is

5424
03:06:30,460 --> 03:06:37,120
that the transgender person, the woman, McBride, she

5425
03:06:37,120 --> 03:06:39,200
had no objection to any of this.

5426
03:06:39,280 --> 03:06:41,020
She was going to yak away, but this

5427
03:06:41,020 --> 03:06:41,520
guy...

5428
03:06:41,520 --> 03:06:42,760
But she got back to him and said,

5429
03:06:42,820 --> 03:06:44,800
thank you, Ms. Chairwoman, which was funny.

5430
03:06:46,060 --> 03:06:47,680
She had a great reply.

5431
03:06:47,960 --> 03:06:49,220
He, it, thing.

5432
03:06:49,820 --> 03:06:51,860
And so it was like, but who's this?

5433
03:06:52,400 --> 03:06:54,080
This guy was, I guess, this...

5434
03:06:54,580 --> 03:06:55,180
Bill Keating.

5435
03:06:55,480 --> 03:06:56,760
Bill Keating from Massachusetts.

5436
03:06:57,380 --> 03:06:58,500
He's out of line.

5437
03:06:58,680 --> 03:06:59,460
Yes, out of order.

5438
03:07:01,280 --> 03:07:03,300
I think they should have just continued.

5439
03:07:03,620 --> 03:07:05,560
I thought it was perfectly hilarious.

5440
03:07:06,060 --> 03:07:06,920
Thank you, Ms. Chairwoman.

5441
03:07:07,160 --> 03:07:07,260
It was fine.

5442
03:07:07,340 --> 03:07:08,820
It was going to go along, and this

5443
03:07:08,820 --> 03:07:10,780
guy had to butt in with his, like,

5444
03:07:10,900 --> 03:07:11,240
his...

5445
03:07:11,840 --> 03:07:16,100
Politically correct bullcrap, you know, like, because I

5446
03:07:16,100 --> 03:07:20,760
guess the woman, transgender woman can't defend herself.

5447
03:07:21,040 --> 03:07:22,160
Helpless, poor thing.

5448
03:07:22,500 --> 03:07:22,600
Yes.

5449
03:07:23,160 --> 03:07:25,180
I found that, I found that very...

5450
03:07:25,180 --> 03:07:27,560
Looks like she could defend herself just fine.

5451
03:07:28,060 --> 03:07:29,440
Oh yeah, she could knock you on your

5452
03:07:29,440 --> 03:07:29,740
ass.

5453
03:07:41,940 --> 03:07:43,240
In the morning.

5454
03:07:43,720 --> 03:07:45,340
Again, we have end of show mixes coming

5455
03:07:45,340 --> 03:07:45,520
up.

5456
03:07:45,600 --> 03:07:47,020
We have the tip of the day.

5457
03:07:47,220 --> 03:07:50,440
We've got some ISOs to talk about.

5458
03:07:50,960 --> 03:07:53,480
And, well, we have a nice group of

5459
03:07:53,480 --> 03:07:54,140
people to thank.

5460
03:07:54,240 --> 03:07:55,960
We got some good meetups to talk about,

5461
03:07:56,060 --> 03:07:57,140

5462
03:07:57,360 --> 03:07:59,380
So, John, if you wouldn't mind thanking everybody

03:08:14,100 --> 03:08:15,260
Is it Kennet or a Kennet?

03:08:16,120 --> 03:08:16,740
A hundred.

5469
03:08:16,980 --> 03:08:17,500

Twit sucks without him, he says.

5506
03:09:51,500 --> 03:09:52,060
Interesting.

5507
03:09:52,460 --> 03:09:53,360
Yeah, well, that's true.

03:13:33,830 --> 03:13:34,710
We never mentioned those.

5583
03:13:34,930 --> 03:13:37,110

5584
03:13:37,110 --> 03:13:41,010

It's your birthday party on No Agenda.

03:14:07,030 --> 03:14:09,490
Dame Janet wishes Bill Webb a happy birthday.

5598
03:14:09,590 --> 03:14:10,130
That's belated.

5599
03:14:10,290 --> 03:14:11,830

5608
03:14:33,050 --> 03:14:34,570
We say happy birthday to all of these

5609
03:14:34,570 --> 03:14:36,670
people on behalf of the best podcast in

5610
03:14:36,670 --> 03:14:37,330
the universe.

5611
03:14:47,010 --> 03:14:50,170
And we have three title changes today.

5612
03:14:50,410 --> 03:14:53,450
Baronet Sir Data Ops, the Wisconsin Millennial, upgrades

5613

of the Psychedelic Overmind and Related Dimensions, the

5618
03:15:07,730 --> 03:15:10,710
Viscount of Noorsphere, we think.

5619
03:15:10,810 --> 03:15:12,150
We think that's the correct way to pronounce

5620
03:15:12,150 --> 03:15:12,430
it.

5621
03:15:12,810 --> 03:15:15,150
And then we have a number of Commodores.

5622
03:15:15,250 --> 03:15:17,090
We have a nice list here.

5623
03:15:17,650 --> 03:15:21,490
We've got Commodore Troy Lafferty, Commodore Sir Fur

5624
03:15:21,490 --> 03:15:25,610
Commodore, Thomas Kilbride, Commodore Kumar of the Seven

5625

Let us know exactly what you want on

5631
03:15:39,270 --> 03:15:40,530
your Commodore certificate.

5632
03:15:41,090 --> 03:15:42,490
And we'll get that out to you as

5633
03:15:42,490 --> 03:15:43,070
soon as possible.

5634
03:15:43,170 --> 03:15:44,950
Of course, give us your address as well.

5635
03:15:45,450 --> 03:15:47,610
And we now thank a...

5636
03:15:47,610 --> 03:15:48,770
Well, actually, we don't just thank them.

5637
03:15:48,790 --> 03:15:49,930
We bring them up on the podium.

5638
03:15:50,130 --> 03:15:52,210
We have two knights and one dame.

5639
03:15:52,330 --> 03:15:54,430
Here is my blade for the trifecta.

5640
03:15:55,210 --> 03:15:55,750
There you go.

5641
03:15:56,610 --> 03:15:57,810
Little more enthusiasm.

5642
03:15:58,110 --> 03:15:58,790
Pull it out again.

5643
03:15:59,590 --> 03:16:00,750
Well, I got to put it back.

5644
03:16:00,850 --> 03:16:01,470
Here we go.

5645
03:16:01,570 --> 03:16:01,910
Okay.

5646
03:16:03,310 --> 03:16:03,750
What?

5647
03:16:04,230 --> 03:16:04,930
Did you get it?

5648
03:16:05,010 --> 03:16:05,650
I can't see it.

5649
03:16:05,650 --> 03:16:06,130
Yeah, here.

5650
03:16:06,290 --> 03:16:06,970
Oh, here it is.

5651
03:16:07,590 --> 03:16:08,810
I got it.

5652
03:16:08,870 --> 03:16:09,370
I got it.

5653
03:16:09,850 --> 03:16:11,930
Hey, Ashland Speed, come on up to the

5654
03:16:11,930 --> 03:16:14,350
podium, along with Troy Lafferty and Brennan Keller.

5655
03:16:14,530 --> 03:16:16,570
All three of you now become knights and

5656
03:16:16,570 --> 03:16:18,230
dame of the No Agenda Roundtable.

5657
03:16:18,330 --> 03:16:20,550
I'm very proud to pronounce the KV as

5658
03:16:20,550 --> 03:16:22,530
dame Ashland Speed.

5659
03:16:22,670 --> 03:16:23,450
Put it on your car.

5660
03:16:23,810 --> 03:16:26,310
Sir Troy from the land of psyops and

5661
03:16:26,310 --> 03:16:29,610
Sir Commodore Brennan of the Black Swap.

5662
03:16:29,610 --> 03:16:30,910
And he is a black knight.

5663
03:16:30,910 --> 03:16:32,350
I'll read his knight in a moment because

5664
03:16:32,350 --> 03:16:33,310
we messed that up.

5665
03:16:34,210 --> 03:16:35,110
Thanks to you.

5666
03:16:35,390 --> 03:16:36,930
You now have some mutton and meat at

5667
03:16:36,930 --> 03:16:38,850
the table, but also hookers and blower and

5668
03:16:38,850 --> 03:16:42,530
boys and chardonnay, 1990 lynch bage, rattlesnake chili,

5669
03:16:42,770 --> 03:16:43,930
wild boar medallions.

5670
03:16:44,110 --> 03:16:46,030
And we also got some geisha and sake,

5671
03:16:46,410 --> 03:16:48,730
rubiness, rumen and rosé, ginger ale and gerbils,

5672
03:16:49,190 --> 03:16:51,110
and the aforementioned mutton and meat.

5673
03:16:51,230 --> 03:16:53,430
Yes, we forgot to knight Brennan Keller on

5674
03:16:53,430 --> 03:16:54,290
the previous show.

5675
03:16:54,790 --> 03:16:55,650
And here was his note.

5676
03:16:55,730 --> 03:16:57,290
The sad puppy in the newsletter always pulls

5677
03:16:57,290 --> 03:16:57,770
at the heart.

5678
03:16:58,050 --> 03:17:00,150
How could I resist a call to action

5679
03:17:00,150 --> 03:17:00,550
like that?

5680
03:17:00,550 --> 03:17:02,250
This donation puts me over the top for

5681
03:17:02,250 --> 03:17:02,910
knighthood status.

5682
03:17:03,010 --> 03:17:04,690
Henceforth, I'd like to be known as Sir

5683
03:17:04,690 --> 03:17:06,190
Commodore Brennan of the Black Swap.

5684
03:17:06,290 --> 03:17:06,850
Please add.

5685
03:17:07,410 --> 03:17:08,090
We had that.

5686
03:17:08,190 --> 03:17:09,950
We actually had the Nufla soup at the

5687
03:17:09,950 --> 03:17:12,690
round table on the last show, but we

5688
03:17:12,690 --> 03:17:15,370
completely forgot to knight him.

5689
03:17:15,450 --> 03:17:17,110
So he will now be known as a

5690
03:17:17,110 --> 03:17:18,570
black knight, which is pretty special.

5691
03:17:19,090 --> 03:17:20,450
It doesn't happen often on the show, but

5692
03:17:20,450 --> 03:17:21,790
it does happen from time to time.

5693
03:17:22,370 --> 03:17:23,890
Go to noagenderings.com.

5694
03:17:24,010 --> 03:17:25,270
There's a ring sizing guide.

5695
03:17:25,330 --> 03:17:26,770
Let us know what size you want.

5696
03:17:27,050 --> 03:17:29,190
We'll send it to you with the certificate

5697
03:17:29,190 --> 03:17:29,870
of authenticity.

5698
03:17:29,870 --> 03:17:31,730
And we have a nice little stick of

5699
03:17:31,730 --> 03:17:33,690
wax, which you can use to seal your

5700
03:17:33,690 --> 03:17:37,010
important correspondence with because it is an actual

5701
03:17:37,010 --> 03:17:37,910
Cignet ring.

5702
03:17:38,370 --> 03:17:41,330
And welcome once again, dame and knights, to

5703
03:17:41,330 --> 03:17:43,290
the No Agenda Roundtable.

5704
03:17:43,930 --> 03:17:45,870
No Agenda Roundtable I'm losing it.

5705
03:17:47,950 --> 03:17:53,250
Yeah, baby, it's like a big party.

5706
03:17:53,430 --> 03:17:55,490
And they had a party in Albuquerque, New

5707
03:17:55,490 --> 03:17:55,830
Mexico.

5708
03:17:56,030 --> 03:17:56,930
Here's their meetup report.

5709

I'm not part of any of his department

5720
03:18:15,310 --> 03:18:15,590
yet.

5721
03:18:15,650 --> 03:18:17,590
I'm waiting to get the Senate hearings on

5722
03:18:17,590 --> 03:18:17,830
that.

5723
03:18:18,410 --> 03:18:21,190
And Colorado Springs had a meetup.

5724
03:18:21,290 --> 03:18:22,470
This is Colorado Care Bear.

5725
03:18:22,590 --> 03:18:25,030

looking for one of those genetically modified woolly

5733
03:18:38,530 --> 03:18:39,310
mammoth girlfriends.

5734
03:18:39,850 --> 03:18:43,050
Rocky Mountain Milkmaid enjoying our monthly meetup.

5735
03:18:43,290 --> 03:18:46,050

In the morning.

5742
03:18:52,750 --> 03:18:53,690
In the morning.

5743
03:18:54,270 --> 03:18:56,330
Remember to put your servers in these meetup

5744
03:18:56,330 --> 03:18:57,010
reports, people.

5745
03:18:57,130 --> 03:18:58,770
They always enjoy it, and it gets another

5746
03:18:58,770 --> 03:18:59,730
soul to the table.

5747
03:19:00,050 --> 03:19:02,230

You guys are amazing.

5754
03:19:13,590 --> 03:19:13,910

5759
03:19:18,670 --> 03:19:19,110
We'll donate.

5760
03:19:20,310 --> 03:19:20,990
This is Eric.

5761
03:19:21,070 --> 03:19:21,590
First meetup.

5762
03:19:21,610 --> 03:19:22,430
Also a douchebag.

5763
03:19:22,430 --> 03:19:23,670
But been listening for a year and a

5764
03:19:23,670 --> 03:19:23,910
half.

5765
03:19:24,490 --> 03:19:24,990
And ITM.

5766
03:19:25,250 --> 03:19:27,650
Sean, aka Sir Face Tension, here.

5767
03:19:28,070 --> 03:19:30,070
And nobody's getting cornholed tonight.

5768
03:19:30,430 --> 03:19:32,170
This is Sir Dave of the Gunshine State.

5769
03:19:32,430 --> 03:19:35,050
Everyone had a great time, and thank you

5770
03:19:35,050 --> 03:19:35,530
for your courage.

5771
03:19:35,750 --> 03:19:39,010
Also, it's pronounced Dave Matthew and Fuquay Verina.

5772
03:19:39,290 --> 03:19:39,550
Bye!

5773
03:19:40,090 --> 03:19:41,070
In the morning.

5774
03:19:41,890 --> 03:19:42,810
Fuquay Verina.

5775
03:19:42,930 --> 03:19:44,050
One of these days, we'll remember.

5776
03:19:44,190 --> 03:19:44,730
We'll get it right.

5777
03:19:44,930 --> 03:19:45,810
Fuquay Verina.

5778
03:19:46,590 --> 03:19:47,110
Fuquay.

5779
03:19:47,530 --> 03:19:48,050
Fuquay.

5780
03:19:48,170 --> 03:19:48,510
Whatever.

5781
03:19:49,430 --> 03:19:50,830
Meetup's taking place today.

5782
03:19:50,830 --> 03:19:53,450
For some reason, it's just not memorable.

5783
03:19:53,790 --> 03:19:54,230
Fuquay.

5784
03:19:54,470 --> 03:19:54,950
Fuquay.

5785
03:19:55,230 --> 03:19:57,450
The Shrunken Amygdala Support Group 2.0 meets

5786
03:19:57,450 --> 03:19:59,950

Brewing in Cincinnati, Ohio.

5788
03:20:02,030 --> 03:20:04,370
On Saturday, the No Agenda Dallas-Fort Worth

5789
03:20:04,370 --> 03:20:06,550
Mid-Cities Meetup kicks off at 11.30

5790
03:20:06,550 --> 03:20:07,170
AM.

5791
03:20:07,250 --> 03:20:08,090
That's morning time.

5792
03:20:08,190 --> 03:20:08,870
But don't worry.

5793
03:20:09,290 --> 03:20:10,650
You'll be able to drink at the Bourbon

5794
03:20:10,650 --> 03:20:12,390
Street Bar and Grill in Bedford, Texas.

5795
03:20:12,710 --> 03:20:15,250
Also on Saturday, the Snow Homo One Ball

5796
03:20:15,250 --> 03:20:19,750

And also on Saturday, the Cabbage Smash, 1

5799
03:20:23,710 --> 03:20:26,390
o'clock, Blue Island Brewery in Blue Island,

Illinois.

5801
03:20:27,630 --> 03:20:30,050
Many more meetups to be found all the

5802
03:20:30,050 --> 03:20:31,510
way through the month of June.

5803
03:20:31,590 --> 03:20:32,190
It's unbelievable.

5804
03:20:32,610 --> 03:20:33,490
All around the world.

5805
03:20:33,590 --> 03:20:35,970
Go to noagendameetups.com to find out where

5806
03:20:35,970 --> 03:20:37,290
you can find one near you.

5807
03:20:37,730 --> 03:20:40,170
Remember, when you meet these people, it's that

5808
03:20:40,170 --> 03:20:41,510
connection that gives you protection.

5809
03:20:41,970 --> 03:20:43,830
And of course, these people are your first

5810
03:20:43,830 --> 03:20:45,430
responders in an emergency.

5811
03:20:45,430 --> 03:20:46,850
noagendameetups.com.

5812
03:20:46,930 --> 03:20:48,430
If you can't find one near you, then

5813
03:20:48,430 --> 03:20:49,330
start one yourself.

5814
03:20:49,450 --> 03:20:51,290
It's easy and always a party.

5815
03:20:51,550 --> 03:20:54,370
Sometimes you want to go hang out with

5816
03:20:54,370 --> 03:20:57,070
all the nights and days.

5817
03:20:57,930 --> 03:21:00,650
You want to be where you won't be

5818
03:21:00,650 --> 03:21:02,790
triggered or held lame.

5819
03:21:03,510 --> 03:21:06,570
You want to be where everybody feels the

5820
03:21:06,570 --> 03:21:07,870
same.

5821
03:21:08,850 --> 03:21:10,530
It's like a party.

5822
03:21:11,050 --> 03:21:13,030
Hey man, where's your ISOs?

5823
03:21:14,410 --> 03:21:16,650
I just carried the two over from last

5824
03:21:16,650 --> 03:21:16,990
show.

5825
03:21:17,450 --> 03:21:18,510
Well, which ones were they?

5826
03:21:18,610 --> 03:21:19,570
I mean, what do you think I am?

5827
03:21:19,630 --> 03:21:21,550
Some kind of a memory machine here?

5828
03:21:21,810 --> 03:21:23,830
Yeah, you got the search thing.

5829
03:21:23,930 --> 03:21:24,190
They're here.

5830
03:21:24,310 --> 03:21:25,910
The one you look up the following.

5831
03:21:26,890 --> 03:21:27,290
ISO.

5832
03:21:27,830 --> 03:21:28,230
Yes.

5833
03:21:30,370 --> 03:21:31,530
We're going to use this one.

5834
03:21:31,890 --> 03:21:32,830
Better than.

5835
03:21:33,170 --> 03:21:34,050
Better than.

5836
03:21:34,310 --> 03:21:35,750
That was better than a podcast.

5837
03:21:36,690 --> 03:21:37,090
Okay.

5838
03:21:37,450 --> 03:21:38,470
And the other one?

5839
03:21:39,350 --> 03:21:40,530
I thought you're going to pick one and

5840
03:21:40,530 --> 03:21:40,990
then the other.

5841
03:21:41,090 --> 03:21:42,050
The other one's wow that.

5842
03:21:42,050 --> 03:21:42,930
Okay.

5843
03:21:44,150 --> 03:21:45,490
That show was hot today.

5844
03:21:49,230 --> 03:21:51,050
I have contenders.

5845
03:21:51,470 --> 03:21:52,770
I have this one.

5846
03:21:52,870 --> 03:21:54,890
It's so freaking good.

5847
03:21:56,130 --> 03:21:57,070
I like that one.

5848
03:21:57,550 --> 03:21:58,270
You like that one?

5849
03:21:58,530 --> 03:21:59,250
Got cut off.

5850
03:21:59,370 --> 03:22:02,930
I actually, you know, I've been blown away

5851
03:22:02,930 --> 03:22:05,510
by the quality of your ISOs.

5852
03:22:06,490 --> 03:22:08,730
And I think I've figured it out what

5853
03:22:08,730 --> 03:22:09,190
you're doing.

5854
03:22:09,310 --> 03:22:10,850
I figured out what your well is.

5855
03:22:11,570 --> 03:22:12,830
It took me a little bit.

5856
03:22:13,110 --> 03:22:15,690
But then I realized you're not getting these

5857
03:22:15,690 --> 03:22:20,470
ISOs from audio books or anything like that.

5858
03:22:20,710 --> 03:22:22,470
John's been using AI for end of show

5859
03:22:22,470 --> 03:22:23,870
ISOs all this time, dude.

5860
03:22:24,550 --> 03:22:26,470
You've been using AI voices.

5861
03:22:27,410 --> 03:22:32,610
You have not been clipping this from anything

5862
03:22:32,610 --> 03:22:32,970
else.

5863
03:22:33,090 --> 03:22:35,150
You've been making them on 11 labs or

5864
03:22:35,150 --> 03:22:35,870
something like that.

5865
03:22:35,970 --> 03:22:36,350
Admit it.

5866
03:22:38,790 --> 03:22:40,530
After three and a half months.

5867
03:22:40,770 --> 03:22:42,210
I finally figured it out.

5868
03:22:44,720 --> 03:22:45,680
It's cheating.

5869
03:22:48,110 --> 03:22:48,610
It is?

5870
03:22:48,850 --> 03:22:49,870
Yes, that's cheating.

5871
03:22:50,830 --> 03:22:52,530
I thought I've been sitting here going like,

5872
03:22:52,650 --> 03:22:54,150
how does he get these great ISOs?

5873
03:22:54,370 --> 03:22:55,890
People are emailing me ISOs.

5874
03:22:56,010 --> 03:22:57,870
Oh, maybe this one could compete with John.

5875
03:22:58,190 --> 03:23:00,610
And then all of a sudden, these are

5876
03:23:00,610 --> 03:23:01,670
AI voices.

5877
03:23:02,170 --> 03:23:03,550
Another great show.

5878
03:23:03,990 --> 03:23:04,470
Boomers.

5879
03:23:05,450 --> 03:23:06,790
See, I can make them too.

5880
03:23:08,350 --> 03:23:09,530
I think mine's better.

5881
03:23:09,590 --> 03:23:10,530
I have more creativity.

5882
03:23:10,850 --> 03:23:12,290
Another great show.

5883
03:23:12,690 --> 03:23:13,170
Boomers.

5884
03:23:13,270 --> 03:23:14,430
Yeah, we're using that one.

5885
03:23:14,430 --> 03:23:17,390
Now, okay, I want to, all right, I

5886
03:23:17,390 --> 03:23:18,170
admit it.

5887
03:23:19,310 --> 03:23:22,010
Now I'm going to add a little tidbit

5888
03:23:22,010 --> 03:23:22,490
to it.

5889
03:23:22,770 --> 03:23:22,870
Okay.

5890
03:23:23,450 --> 03:23:23,730
Mimi.

5891
03:23:25,070 --> 03:23:26,610
What, you're going to blame it on Mimi

5892
03:23:26,610 --> 03:23:26,910
now?

5893
03:23:27,070 --> 03:23:27,530
No, no.

5894
03:23:27,910 --> 03:23:30,330
Three months ago when I started this gambit.

5895
03:23:31,630 --> 03:23:32,030
Wow.

5896
03:23:32,710 --> 03:23:34,870
She says, you shouldn't do that.

5897
03:23:34,970 --> 03:23:36,290
That's cheating.

5898
03:23:36,790 --> 03:23:37,890
That's not fair.

5899
03:23:37,970 --> 03:23:38,790
Yeah, it is cheating.

5900
03:23:38,790 --> 03:23:40,050
And I says, he'll never catch me.

5901
03:23:40,130 --> 03:23:41,090
I said, don't worry about it.

5902
03:23:41,130 --> 03:23:43,870
She says, I don't like you doing that.

5903
03:23:44,590 --> 03:23:46,330
And I played her a couple of clips.

5904
03:23:46,450 --> 03:23:47,270
I said, those are pretty good.

5905
03:23:47,470 --> 03:23:48,230
She liked them.

5906
03:23:49,050 --> 03:23:49,630
But as we said.

5907
03:23:51,970 --> 03:23:52,410
Wow.

5908
03:23:52,550 --> 03:23:54,130
You kept that going for months.

5909
03:23:54,830 --> 03:23:55,270
Months.

5910
03:23:55,330 --> 03:23:56,750
And I was like, I mean.

5911
03:23:57,010 --> 03:23:59,610
At least three and a half months.

5912
03:23:59,610 --> 03:24:02,010
Are people sending you audio books?

5913
03:24:02,210 --> 03:24:03,790
Or I'm like, how is he getting this

5914
03:24:03,790 --> 03:24:04,010
stuff?

5915
03:24:04,250 --> 03:24:05,730
And then all of a sudden I'm like,

5916
03:24:06,010 --> 03:24:10,050
ah, this is a scam.

5917
03:24:10,690 --> 03:24:12,310
She told me I was going to get

5918
03:24:12,310 --> 03:24:12,750
caught.

5919
03:24:12,910 --> 03:24:13,750
And she's right.

5920
03:24:13,750 --> 03:24:15,770
And I said, it'll take you months to

5921
03:24:15,770 --> 03:24:16,710
figure this out.

5922
03:24:16,950 --> 03:24:20,490
Mimi Dvorak, author of TooManyEggs.com.

5923
03:24:20,590 --> 03:24:22,170
The best book in the universe.

5924
03:24:22,350 --> 03:24:24,030
No thanks to John C.

5925
03:24:24,210 --> 03:24:24,730
Dvorak.

5926
03:24:25,230 --> 03:24:26,470
But that doesn't matter.

5927
03:24:26,710 --> 03:24:28,630
Here's another tip from John C.

5928
03:24:28,710 --> 03:24:29,150
Dvorak.

5929
03:24:39,950 --> 03:24:41,870
I've been meaning to promote this for a

5930
03:24:41,870 --> 03:24:42,250
while now.

5931
03:24:42,250 --> 03:24:43,870
It involves a clip that we have.

5932
03:24:43,930 --> 03:24:44,890
How much time do we have on the

5933
03:24:44,890 --> 03:24:45,110
show?

5934
03:24:45,350 --> 03:24:46,330
We got some time.

5935
03:24:46,670 --> 03:24:48,530
I mean, we're way over.

5936
03:24:48,750 --> 03:24:50,090
I mean, as long as you don't say

5937
03:24:50,090 --> 03:24:50,710
after the show.

5938
03:24:53,670 --> 03:24:54,990
It is too long.

5939
03:24:56,570 --> 03:25:00,710
But this is what triggered this tip of

5940
03:25:00,710 --> 03:25:00,950
the day.

5941
03:25:01,030 --> 03:25:03,530
This is the FBI phony baloney.

5942
03:25:03,650 --> 03:25:05,770
This Denver TV7.

5943
03:25:06,510 --> 03:25:07,670
And this is about a bogus.

5944
03:25:07,730 --> 03:25:10,210
Oh, the scam, scam, scam report from the

5945
03:25:10,210 --> 03:25:10,590
FBI.

5946
03:25:10,690 --> 03:25:11,750
It's right at the beginning of the clip

5947
03:25:11,750 --> 03:25:12,050
list.

5948
03:25:12,250 --> 03:25:15,230
Let's listen to your point on immigrants and

5949
03:25:15,230 --> 03:25:15,770
crime.

5950
03:25:15,930 --> 03:25:18,690
Here's Denver Mayor Mike Johnson.

5951
03:25:19,390 --> 03:25:20,950
Migrants did not bring a wave of crime

5952
03:25:20,950 --> 03:25:21,270
to Denver.

5953
03:25:21,410 --> 03:25:22,710
In fact, crime went down.

5954
03:25:23,510 --> 03:25:25,110
Homicides dropped 17 percent.

5955
03:25:25,270 --> 03:25:26,630
No, no, no, no, no.

5956
03:25:26,710 --> 03:25:27,970
The tip said B.

5957
03:25:28,190 --> 03:25:30,190
It starts with B, bogus FBI scam.

5958
03:25:30,190 --> 03:25:32,050
Well, you said Denver, and then.

5959
03:25:32,350 --> 03:25:32,830
I know.

5960
03:25:32,910 --> 03:25:33,530
I understand.

5961
03:25:33,650 --> 03:25:34,070
It's your fault.

5962
03:25:34,210 --> 03:25:36,130
And whether you're downloading a video from YouTube

5963
03:25:36,130 --> 03:25:38,770
or converting a document into a PDF, you

5964
03:25:38,770 --> 03:25:41,050
could be handing your information right over to

5965
03:25:41,050 --> 03:25:41,370
scammers.

5966
03:25:41,370 --> 03:25:43,910
New this morning, Denver 7 investigative reporter Natalie

5967
03:25:43,910 --> 03:25:45,850
Chuck sat down with an FBI agent with

5968
03:25:45,850 --> 03:25:48,050
a warning about those conversion sites.

5969
03:25:48,310 --> 03:25:50,570
And what happens is, is somebody goes to

5970
03:25:50,570 --> 03:25:54,570
a site that will convert their word processing

5971
03:25:54,570 --> 03:25:58,110
document to a PDF or do some sort

5972
03:25:58,110 --> 03:26:00,850
of download or conversion to audio files or

5973
03:26:00,850 --> 03:26:01,630
picture files.

5974
03:26:01,790 --> 03:26:04,590
That download could be putting onto your computer

5975
03:26:04,590 --> 03:26:08,310
or your network some malware software that would

5976
03:26:08,310 --> 03:26:10,630
then allow the criminals to come back into

5977
03:26:10,630 --> 03:26:13,730
your network or your computer and conduct further

5978
03:26:13,730 --> 03:26:14,470
criminal activity.

5979
03:26:15,250 --> 03:26:15,790
Yeah, yeah.

5980
03:26:15,910 --> 03:26:17,210
It doesn't go from there.

5981
03:26:17,710 --> 03:26:19,110
There's no details.

5982
03:26:19,270 --> 03:26:20,450
It's just blah, blah, blah.

5983
03:26:20,690 --> 03:26:23,530
This is anytime you download from the Internet,

5984
03:26:23,610 --> 03:26:24,390
you can get something.

5985
03:26:24,530 --> 03:26:24,930
It happens.

5986
03:26:25,050 --> 03:26:26,790
So what are the product you have to

5987
03:26:26,790 --> 03:26:27,030
have?

5988
03:26:27,050 --> 03:26:28,350
Everybody has had this product.

5989
03:26:29,090 --> 03:26:30,930
And there's a couple of different kinds of

5990
03:26:30,930 --> 03:26:31,770
products that do this.

5991
03:26:31,830 --> 03:26:33,170
But this is the one I like best,

5992
03:26:33,170 --> 03:26:35,670
because I had a situation about three or

5993
03:26:35,670 --> 03:26:37,610
four years ago that none of these things

5994
03:26:37,610 --> 03:26:41,450
would get rid of this, some malware that

5995
03:26:41,450 --> 03:26:42,270
was on my machine.

5996
03:26:42,370 --> 03:26:43,150
But this did.

5997
03:26:43,370 --> 03:26:46,190
It's called Spy Hunter 5.

5998
03:26:46,570 --> 03:26:47,750
Oh, this is your favorite.

5999
03:26:48,290 --> 03:26:50,510
This is my favorite because it works.

6000
03:26:51,230 --> 03:26:52,430
And you run it all the time.

6001
03:26:52,510 --> 03:26:54,530
And I'm telling that anyone who does any

6002
03:26:54,530 --> 03:26:56,370
downloads off the Internet, you have to run

6003
03:26:56,370 --> 03:27:00,130
this product every so often, if not daily.

6004
03:27:00,510 --> 03:27:03,090
And it finds all kinds of crazy stuff.

6005
03:27:03,090 --> 03:27:03,810
And I'll tell you this.

6006
03:27:03,870 --> 03:27:09,110
If anybody fools around illegally downloading movies or

6007
03:27:09,110 --> 03:27:11,810
records or goes to Pirate Bay or any

6008
03:27:11,810 --> 03:27:13,830
of those sites, any of those, all the

6009
03:27:13,830 --> 03:27:17,370
download sites drop malware on your machine.

6010
03:27:17,450 --> 03:27:18,630
They use the adware.

6011
03:27:18,770 --> 03:27:20,130
It's the stuff that goes in there and

6012
03:27:20,130 --> 03:27:20,690
it puts it.

6013
03:27:20,770 --> 03:27:23,230
So you say random ads on your computer

6014
03:27:23,230 --> 03:27:24,070
start showing up.

6015
03:27:24,450 --> 03:27:25,330
This gets rid of them.

6016
03:27:25,590 --> 03:27:29,290
Most antivirus stuff doesn't do anything about that.

6017
03:27:29,690 --> 03:27:31,270
And the problem is it's not like you

6018
03:27:31,270 --> 03:27:32,850
get one of these things on your machine.

6019
03:27:32,850 --> 03:27:33,970
Causes a problem.

6020
03:27:34,090 --> 03:27:36,330
It's like you get multiple ones on your

6021
03:27:36,330 --> 03:27:38,870
machine and you have five of these items,

6022
03:27:39,110 --> 03:27:43,610
five of these, these ad dropping things on

6023
03:27:43,610 --> 03:27:43,970
your machine.

6024
03:27:44,110 --> 03:27:45,870
They start to fight with each other.

6025
03:27:45,930 --> 03:27:47,130
And the next thing you know, the machines

6026
03:27:47,130 --> 03:27:48,130
are running like a pig.

6027
03:27:48,390 --> 03:27:49,270
It's ridiculous.

6028
03:27:49,870 --> 03:27:51,130
So you need spy.

6029
03:27:51,290 --> 03:27:53,910
You need this anti-spyware product.

6030
03:27:55,230 --> 03:27:56,770
And this is the best one.

6031
03:27:56,870 --> 03:27:58,730
Spy Hunter is the best one I've found.

6032
03:27:59,310 --> 03:28:02,010
And we do have Sir JD, the baron

6033
03:28:02,010 --> 03:28:03,970
of Silicon Valley, who seems to be overboard,

6034
03:28:04,190 --> 03:28:07,030
works for a competitive company, does another one.

6035
03:28:07,790 --> 03:28:09,270
But we haven't heard from him.

6036
03:28:09,350 --> 03:28:10,930
I don't know what happened to him, but

6037
03:28:10,930 --> 03:28:11,450
he's overboard.

6038
03:28:11,950 --> 03:28:13,530
But this is a product I would recommend

6039
03:28:13,530 --> 03:28:14,330
everybody get.

6040
03:28:14,450 --> 03:28:16,710
And I would recommend a subscription if you,

6041
03:28:17,090 --> 03:28:19,310
you know, because you need a subscription for

6042
03:28:19,310 --> 03:28:19,810
it to work.

6043
03:28:20,230 --> 03:28:24,510
But I'll tell you this, the latest operation

6044
03:28:24,510 --> 03:28:26,810
besides all the pirate sites that do this,

6045
03:28:26,810 --> 03:28:29,530
they all drop this adware crap on your

6046
03:28:29,530 --> 03:28:31,450
machine is RT.

6047
03:28:32,670 --> 03:28:35,670
The Russian, yeah, RT now has one of

6048
03:28:35,670 --> 03:28:37,050
these systems and they drop it.

6049
03:28:37,210 --> 03:28:39,230
You go RT and look at one of

6050
03:28:39,230 --> 03:28:40,350
their, play a clip.

6051
03:28:40,890 --> 03:28:42,410
Boom, you got it on your machine.

6052
03:28:42,510 --> 03:28:43,570
It's got to be taken off.

6053
03:28:44,530 --> 03:28:46,050
Well, that is a good tip.

6054
03:28:46,110 --> 03:28:47,090
It's not a new tip.

6055
03:28:47,150 --> 03:28:48,430
You've given me this tip before.

6056
03:28:48,570 --> 03:28:50,450
I've talked about, but it's not official tip

6057
03:28:50,450 --> 03:28:50,850
of the day.

6058
03:28:50,910 --> 03:28:51,490
Now it is.

6059
03:28:51,630 --> 03:28:54,230
Well, my tip is pay for your movies,

6060
03:28:54,330 --> 03:28:54,610
people.

6061
03:28:54,750 --> 03:28:56,150
Stop downloading it illegally.

6062
03:28:56,150 --> 03:28:58,510
Just pay for your content and stop going

6063
03:28:58,510 --> 03:29:00,090
to only fans NRT.

6064
03:29:00,470 --> 03:29:02,110
And that is your tip of the day.

6065
03:29:02,230 --> 03:29:04,270
Find more at tipoftheday.net.

6066
03:29:14,450 --> 03:29:16,390
I don't have any spyware.

6067
03:29:16,550 --> 03:29:20,010
Never have any spyware that I, my machine's

6068
03:29:20,010 --> 03:29:20,990
not running like a pig.

6069
03:29:21,070 --> 03:29:22,450
So I must not have spyware.

6070
03:29:22,950 --> 03:29:25,430
I do have SpyHunter 5 though, but not

6071
03:29:25,430 --> 03:29:26,030
the subscription.

6072
03:29:26,450 --> 03:29:27,310
I use the free thing.

6073
03:29:28,630 --> 03:29:29,830
Is the free thing okay?

6074
03:29:31,110 --> 03:29:32,950
Yeah, yeah, they're all good.

6075
03:29:33,330 --> 03:29:34,130
Yeah, yeah.

6076
03:29:34,190 --> 03:29:37,130
And for Vantivirus, get the free version of

6077
03:29:37,130 --> 03:29:37,750
Avast.

6078
03:29:37,890 --> 03:29:38,610
It's pretty good.

6079
03:29:38,850 --> 03:29:39,490
There's a bunch of different ones.

6080
03:29:39,490 --> 03:29:40,510
Or just use Linux.

6081
03:29:42,650 --> 03:29:43,870
Use Linux, people.

6082
03:29:44,030 --> 03:29:44,810
It's much better.

6083
03:29:45,330 --> 03:29:46,390
Yeah, well, there you go.

6084
03:29:46,510 --> 03:29:49,050
End of show mixes, Professor Jay Jones, Tom

6085
03:29:49,050 --> 03:29:52,070
Starkweather, and Neil Jones, the clip custodian in

6086
03:29:52,070 --> 03:29:52,850
the reprise.

6087
03:29:52,970 --> 03:29:54,790
It's from 2019, but it sounds like it

6088
03:29:54,790 --> 03:29:55,790
was made yesterday.

6089
03:29:56,350 --> 03:29:58,370
Coming up next on the No Agenda stream

6090
03:29:58,370 --> 03:30:01,110
at trollroom.io, we have the Mere Mortals

6091
03:30:01,110 --> 03:30:05,110
book reviews, the secrets behind the 48 laws.

6092
03:30:05,330 --> 03:30:06,610
It's a brand new one.

6093
03:30:06,670 --> 03:30:08,130
So you'll want to stick around for that.

6094
03:30:08,690 --> 03:30:09,890
Coming to you from the heart of the

6095
03:30:09,890 --> 03:30:12,710
Texas hill country, right here in Fredericksburg, where

6096
03:30:12,710 --> 03:30:13,610
it's spring break.

6097
03:30:13,970 --> 03:30:15,130
In the morning, everybody.

6098
03:30:15,330 --> 03:30:16,110
I'm Adam Curry.

6099
03:30:16,110 --> 03:30:18,230
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we had

6100
03:30:18,230 --> 03:30:23,090
another river of hell, or rather, atmospheric river

6101
03:30:23,090 --> 03:30:24,410
that crapped out.

6102
03:30:24,850 --> 03:30:26,070
It's nice and sunny out.

6103
03:30:26,110 --> 03:30:26,630
I'm John C.

6104
03:30:26,730 --> 03:30:27,050
Dvorak.

6105
03:30:27,130 --> 03:30:28,530
Hey, we'll be back on Sunday.

6106
03:30:28,650 --> 03:30:31,110
Remember us at noagendadonations.com.

6107
03:30:31,170 --> 03:30:33,230
Until then, adios, mofos.

6108
03:30:33,330 --> 03:30:34,170
Hooey, hooey.

6109
03:30:34,470 --> 03:30:35,090
And such.

6110
03:30:47,070 --> 03:30:47,550
Whiplash.

6111
03:30:47,710 --> 03:30:48,990
Markets are crashing, John.

6112
03:30:49,110 --> 03:30:49,870
Markets are crashing.

6113
03:30:50,350 --> 03:30:51,610
Lash that whip.

6114
03:30:51,750 --> 03:30:52,870
Whiplash on the tariffs.

6115
03:30:52,930 --> 03:30:53,790
Feels like whiplash.

6116
03:30:53,950 --> 03:30:54,970
It stinks.

6117
03:30:55,130 --> 03:30:57,630
And also, lash that whip.

6118
03:30:57,950 --> 03:30:58,430
Terrible.

6119
03:30:58,670 --> 03:30:59,430
It's terrible.

6120
03:30:59,790 --> 03:31:01,910
President Trump's on again, off again.

6121
03:31:02,470 --> 03:31:03,670
Lash that whip.

6122
03:31:03,870 --> 03:31:04,830
I'm on the brink, honey.

6123
03:31:04,950 --> 03:31:06,310
Once I get that guy out of here,

6124
03:31:06,370 --> 03:31:07,050
it'll be all me.

6125
03:31:07,190 --> 03:31:07,970
It'll be all me.

6126
03:31:08,350 --> 03:31:09,450
Constant whiplash.

6127
03:31:09,650 --> 03:31:11,710
This is not the first time the president

6128
03:31:11,710 --> 03:31:15,090
has threatened or imposed tariffs and pulled back.

6129
03:31:15,090 --> 03:31:16,310
A lot of whiplash.

6130
03:31:16,510 --> 03:31:17,530
On again, off again.

6131
03:31:17,650 --> 03:31:19,890
He's at a curling center in Toronto.

6132
03:31:23,410 --> 03:31:24,290
Canadian sport.

6133
03:31:24,410 --> 03:31:25,450
I heard there's whiplash.

6134
03:31:25,570 --> 03:31:26,610
A lot of whiplash.

6135
03:31:26,730 --> 03:31:27,450
Yeah, whiplash.

6136
03:31:27,550 --> 03:31:28,430
Talking about curling.

6137
03:31:28,670 --> 03:31:30,810
The on again, off again tariffs.

6138
03:31:31,010 --> 03:31:31,270
Why?

6139
03:31:31,390 --> 03:31:32,550
I always think of curling.

6140
03:31:32,830 --> 03:31:34,730
That's just, that's all your gear, man.

6141
03:31:34,810 --> 03:31:35,490
It's nothing to do with me.

6142
03:31:35,970 --> 03:31:37,170
Lash that whip.

6143
03:31:37,290 --> 03:31:39,050
More whiplash from President Trump.

6144
03:31:39,170 --> 03:31:39,730
A lot of whiplash.

6145
03:31:40,110 --> 03:31:40,450
Why?

6146
03:31:40,570 --> 03:31:41,730
I always think of curling.

6147
03:31:42,050 --> 03:31:43,210
Lash that whip.

6148
03:31:43,250 --> 03:31:44,350
I heard there's whiplash.

6149
03:31:44,350 --> 03:31:46,830
The on again, off again tariffs.

6150
03:31:47,050 --> 03:31:48,470
Time for a whiplash.

6151
03:31:48,630 --> 03:31:49,350
Lash it, whip it.

6152
03:31:49,470 --> 03:31:50,570
A lot of whiplash.

6153
03:31:50,750 --> 03:31:51,470
A whiplash.

6154
03:31:51,630 --> 03:31:52,310
Lash it good.

6155
03:31:52,510 --> 03:31:52,910
Terrible.

6156
03:31:53,190 --> 03:31:53,930
It's terrible.

6157
03:31:54,610 --> 03:31:55,370
Lash it, whip it.

6158
03:31:55,450 --> 03:31:56,450
Constant whiplash.

6159
03:31:56,550 --> 03:31:57,630
On again, off again.

6160
03:31:57,710 --> 03:31:58,370
Lash it good.

6161
03:32:00,410 --> 03:32:01,910
He said we're going to put tariffs on

6162
03:32:01,910 --> 03:32:02,310
Mexico.

6163
03:32:02,870 --> 03:32:04,330
Well, senators said, wait a minute.

6164
03:32:04,570 --> 03:32:04,830
Oh, yeah.

6165
03:32:05,070 --> 03:32:06,690
Republicans on the Hill haven't shown a whole

6166
03:32:06,690 --> 03:32:08,570
lot of willingness to stand up for this

6167
03:32:08,570 --> 03:32:08,770
motion.

6168
03:32:08,830 --> 03:32:10,990
He's got a 90% approval rating among

6169
03:32:10,990 --> 03:32:13,470
Republican voters, and all the Republican senators know

6170
03:32:13,470 --> 03:32:13,670
that.

6171
03:32:13,670 --> 03:32:15,690
And every month, those tariffs go from 5

6172
03:32:15,690 --> 03:32:18,310
% to 10% to 15% to

6173
03:32:18,310 --> 03:32:20,010
20% and then to 25%.

6174
03:32:20,010 --> 03:32:21,410
Hence the color orange.

6175
03:32:21,750 --> 03:32:23,710
If tariffs is what it takes to get

6176
03:32:23,710 --> 03:32:26,250
Mexico to do better on their side of

6177
03:32:26,250 --> 03:32:27,730
the border, I'm all for tariffs.

6178
03:32:27,850 --> 03:32:30,390
President Trump has a habit of proposing asinine

6179
03:32:30,390 --> 03:32:32,870
and dangerous policies before backing off.

6180
03:32:33,150 --> 03:32:36,310
It would be my hope that they're going

6181
03:32:36,310 --> 03:32:38,190
to work out things so the tariffs don't

6182
03:32:38,190 --> 03:32:38,990
go into effect.

6183
03:32:39,010 --> 03:32:40,690
It just will not work.

6184
03:32:40,690 --> 03:32:43,650
And this will directly and immediately affect the

6185
03:32:43,650 --> 03:32:44,430
American consumer.

6186
03:32:44,550 --> 03:32:45,810
So maybe it's just a threat.

6187
03:32:45,950 --> 03:32:46,430
Who knows?

6188
03:32:46,530 --> 03:32:47,690
I mean, he said the last thing that

6189
03:32:47,690 --> 03:32:49,050
he said is that he's quite, he's deadly

6190
03:32:49,050 --> 03:32:49,510
serious.

6191
03:32:49,750 --> 03:32:52,330
When you say you and I know, I

6192
03:32:52,330 --> 03:32:53,350
don't know that at all.

6193
03:32:53,410 --> 03:32:54,210
Here's what I know.

6194
03:32:54,330 --> 03:32:55,750
I don't know whether to believe it or

6195
03:32:55,750 --> 03:32:56,030
not.

6196
03:32:56,310 --> 03:32:57,350
I say in this job, I know what

6197
03:32:57,350 --> 03:32:58,350
I'm told, not what I know.

6198
03:32:58,530 --> 03:32:59,910
But I do know that if we secure

6199
03:32:59,910 --> 03:33:02,250
the Mexican-Guatemalan border, that would be a

6200
03:33:02,250 --> 03:33:03,770
great way to stop hosts coming all the

6201
03:33:03,770 --> 03:33:04,290
way across.

6202
03:33:04,570 --> 03:33:06,550
But we're not talking about, we haven't seen

6203
03:33:06,550 --> 03:33:07,530
anything yet.

6204
03:33:08,070 --> 03:33:09,030
Is it the tweet?

6205
03:33:09,930 --> 03:33:10,830
A tweet.

6206
03:33:11,070 --> 03:33:13,550
So Mitch McConnell finally found his testicles because

6207
03:33:13,550 --> 03:33:14,330
his nearest wallet.

6208
03:33:14,770 --> 03:33:19,070
People have endured much worse than expensive avocados

6209
03:33:19,070 --> 03:33:20,870
or a few more dollars here and there.

6210
03:33:21,050 --> 03:33:23,670
And for the average American broke, that is

6211
03:33:23,670 --> 03:33:25,590
no small amount of money.

6212
03:33:25,850 --> 03:33:27,710
Broke is a lot of money, $1,300.

6213
03:33:28,210 --> 03:33:30,050
Any brand of course with avocado on the

6214
03:33:30,050 --> 03:33:32,050
menu will be impacted by this tariff.

6215
03:33:32,150 --> 03:33:34,070
I'm not blaming President Trump here.

6216
03:33:34,290 --> 03:33:36,870
I'm blaming the Congress because we can't do

6217
03:33:36,870 --> 03:33:37,450
our job.

6218
03:33:37,530 --> 03:33:42,170
We have with President Trump being kind of

6219
03:33:42,170 --> 03:33:43,370
a roller coaster.

6220
03:33:43,770 --> 03:33:46,650
So sometimes he's going up, sometimes he's coming

6221
03:33:46,650 --> 03:33:47,150
down.

6222
03:33:47,310 --> 03:33:49,770
This is the man that lost more money

6223
03:33:49,770 --> 03:33:53,370
than any other American person on the planet.

6224
03:33:53,510 --> 03:33:55,470
This guy has lost more money than anybody.

6225
03:33:56,650 --> 03:33:59,910
Potentially concerning new mutations in the bird flu.

6226
03:34:00,310 --> 03:34:02,050
First severe human case.

6227
03:34:03,450 --> 03:34:06,390
The nation's first severe case of bird flu.

6228
03:34:07,530 --> 03:34:09,490
The first human case of bird flu.

6229
03:34:09,510 --> 03:34:12,330
When you hear the words severe case, should

6230
03:34:12,330 --> 03:34:12,990
we be worried?

6231
03:34:15,850 --> 03:34:18,270
Is bird flu in humans super dangerous?

6232
03:34:21,710 --> 03:34:23,430
That means we're not testing enough.

6233
03:34:23,530 --> 03:34:25,590
And we know from other viruses that a

6234
03:34:25,590 --> 03:34:27,210
lot of the spread can be asymptomatic.

6235
03:34:27,470 --> 03:34:30,030
We should be having rapid tests, home tests

6236
03:34:30,030 --> 03:34:32,350
available to all farm workers, to their families.

6237
03:34:39,270 --> 03:34:41,050
What we need to be doing is a

6238
03:34:41,050 --> 03:34:42,410
whole lot more testing.

6239
03:35:09,190 --> 03:35:11,150
Adios, mofo.

6240
03:35:14,830 --> 03:35:18,070
Another great show, boomers.
