1
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:01,080
I have a niner.

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,059
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:03,620
Dvorak.

4
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,460
It's Thursday, April 3rd, 2025.

5
00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:07,400
This is your award-winning Gilbert Nation Media

6
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,960
Assassination episode 1752.

7
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,940
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:13,900 --> 00:00:15,020
Feeling liberated!

9
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,980
And broadcast live from the heart of the

10
00:00:17,980 --> 00:00:20,260
Texas hill country, here in FEMA Region No.

11
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:20,720
6.

12
00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:22,000
Good morning, everybody.

13
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,040
I'm Adam Curry.

14
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,700
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's time

15
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:28,160
to filibuster the show, I'm John C.

16
00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:28,720
Dvorak.

17
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,060
It's still quite in the morning.

18
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,320
I want everyone to know that John and

19
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,180
I are wearing catheters on the show.

20
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,420
So we can continue to bring you the

21
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:41,360
best media deconstruction non-stop.

22
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,310
They always say that.

23
00:00:46,410 --> 00:00:49,110
Well, that person who stood there for 24

24
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:50,210
hours, they had a catheter.

25
00:00:51,950 --> 00:00:53,850
Remember that crazy woman who did that?

26
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:55,270
No.

27
00:00:55,610 --> 00:00:56,550
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

28
00:00:56,570 --> 00:00:58,830
Are you talking about the space astronaut?

29
00:00:58,830 --> 00:01:00,350
No, no.

30
00:01:00,850 --> 00:01:02,350
No, she was wearing a diaper.

31
00:01:03,050 --> 00:01:06,090
I think Cory Booker's wearing a diaper.

32
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:08,070
Makes more sense.

33
00:01:08,170 --> 00:01:10,710
There was another filibuster.

34
00:01:12,610 --> 00:01:13,770
Ted Cruz did one.

35
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:17,370
No, no, it was in the Texas Senate,

36
00:01:17,530 --> 00:01:17,990
I think.

37
00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:23,340
Oh, just the abortion bill or whatever it

38
00:01:23,340 --> 00:01:23,580
was?

39
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,040
Yeah, it was that Wendy Davis, that's who

40
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:27,580
it was.

41
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,240
Wendy.

42
00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:29,220
Wendy Davis.

43
00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:30,300
What ever happened to Wendy?

44
00:01:30,940 --> 00:01:31,540
She disappeared.

45
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:35,180
Well, whatever did happen to Wendy Davis.

46
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:38,140
I remember, because I was still in Austin

47
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:38,460
then.

48
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,420
And I think, in fact, I think I

49
00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:45,880
still hung out with the artist and her.

50
00:01:47,020 --> 00:01:47,740
Ah, the artist.

51
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:48,540
The artist, yeah.

52
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,280
Another one gone by.

53
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:52,020
Yeah, I met her.

54
00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:54,200
She came to San Francisco for some art

55
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:54,460
exhibit.

56
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,400
Yeah, because she's an artist.

57
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:57,400
Yeah.

58
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,980
She was wacky.

59
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:01,360
Yeah, she was running for governor.

60
00:02:02,260 --> 00:02:03,940
And I remember, I was like, the artist?

61
00:02:04,660 --> 00:02:06,220
No, no, Wendy Davis.

62
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,280
Not the artist.

63
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,240
Wendy Davis.

64
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,900
I remember when Wendy, oh, Wendy Davis, she's

65
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:12,460
so brave.

66
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:13,220
She's so courageous.

67
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:14,740
You know, she was wearing a catheter.

68
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,460
She was catheterized.

69
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:18,100
She's amazing.

70
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:19,880
To be cringe.

71
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,020
Yeah, so that's exactly what they said of

72
00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:23,660
Cory Booker.

73
00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:24,780
But I'm with you.

74
00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:25,900
I think he was wearing a diaper.

75
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:27,720
I think that's much more realistic.

76
00:02:28,220 --> 00:02:28,660
Yeah.

77
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:29,440
Yeah.

78
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,200
What was that about, Bob?

79
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,580
Do you have any clips of that?

80
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:33,460
Please tell me.

81
00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:35,440
I only have the summary clip.

82
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:37,160
24 hours of that.

83
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,460
Let's see.

84
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,140
What was it?

85
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,060
What do you have?

86
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:42,420
Is it under Booker, maybe?

87
00:02:43,220 --> 00:02:44,780
Oh, it's Borey.

88
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:45,920
Booker.

89
00:02:45,940 --> 00:02:46,440
I got Booker.

90
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,420
Booker short report.

91
00:02:47,980 --> 00:02:49,620
This is a lot shorter than what he

92
00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:49,840
did.

93
00:02:50,020 --> 00:02:52,580
New Jersey Democratic Senator Cory Booker has been

94
00:02:52,580 --> 00:02:54,660
speaking on the floor of the U.S.

95
00:02:54,660 --> 00:02:57,840
Senate since Monday evening, saying he's protesting President

96
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,720
Trump's agenda.

97
00:02:59,420 --> 00:03:01,020
NPR's Deidre Walsh has more.

98
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,500
Booker began speaking on the Senate floor around

99
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:05,400
7 p.m. local time and said he

100
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,140
would remain there for as long as he

101
00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:09,800
could to use the platform to highlight his

102
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,900
opposition to Republican policies.

103
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:14,980
He stood and declared his intention to, in

104
00:03:14,980 --> 00:03:17,260
his words, get in some good trouble.

105
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,320
I rise with the intention of disrupting the

106
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,820
normal business of the United States Senate.

107
00:03:21,820 --> 00:03:24,820
For as long as I am physically able.

108
00:03:25,020 --> 00:03:27,720
Booker's extended speech is not likely to delay

109
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,120
any legislation and is not technically a filibuster.

110
00:03:31,660 --> 00:03:34,820
He'll read letters he's received from constituents worried

111
00:03:34,820 --> 00:03:37,860
about possible cuts to programs like Medicare, Medicaid

112
00:03:37,860 --> 00:03:39,140
and Social Security.

113
00:03:39,740 --> 00:03:42,200
Senators from both parties have used similar tactics

114
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,940
to draw attention to issues, even when they

115
00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:46,980
were unable to stop Senate votes.

116
00:03:47,340 --> 00:03:49,120
Well, it completely fell flat.

117
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,160
It was a lunatic.

118
00:03:52,540 --> 00:03:55,820
You know, the thing they tried to dramatize

119
00:03:55,820 --> 00:03:56,700
it on NPR.

120
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,420
I didn't get this clip, but they went

121
00:03:58,420 --> 00:04:02,160
on the show that compared it to the

122
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,140
James Stewart movie.

123
00:04:05,180 --> 00:04:08,500
And Mr. Smith goes to Washington and how

124
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:09,540
James Stewart was.

125
00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:11,360
He was there protesting the corruption.

126
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,540
And the way they as they presented, I'm

127
00:04:14,540 --> 00:04:15,519
starting to think, wait a minute.

128
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:19,420
Cory Booker is actually protesting the anti-corruption.

129
00:04:20,459 --> 00:04:22,900
He was protesting for corruption.

130
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,020
He wanted more government.

131
00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:26,240
More waste, please.

132
00:04:26,420 --> 00:04:27,140
We want more waste.

133
00:04:28,020 --> 00:04:30,460
Now, this is so I think Chuck Schumer

134
00:04:30,460 --> 00:04:33,700
started another like, all right, everybody, we can

135
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:34,180
do this.

136
00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:36,380
We all get together and we can we

137
00:04:36,380 --> 00:04:37,740
can flood flood the zone.

138
00:04:37,820 --> 00:04:38,720
We'll flood the zone.

139
00:04:39,260 --> 00:04:40,860
We'll tell everybody what they're doing there.

140
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,460
Let's just lie.

141
00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:43,120
Oh, I'm sorry.

142
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,800
Let's tell them that they're going to take

143
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,960
away your Social Security.

144
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:49,060
Granny, they're doing exactly what the Republicans did

145
00:04:49,060 --> 00:04:50,280
with the granny in the wheelchair.

146
00:04:51,220 --> 00:04:51,480
Remember that?

147
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,100
They're pushing granny over the cliff.

148
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:55,000
I remember that.

149
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:55,260
Yes.

150
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:55,780
So they.

151
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:56,720
Yes, you should.

152
00:04:57,020 --> 00:04:57,200
I know.

153
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,700
A wheelchair going over a cliff.

154
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,740
So they they put together a war room,

155
00:05:03,820 --> 00:05:05,800
a Social Security war room, and they all

156
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,280
got together and we're going to do some

157
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:09,620
speeches and we're going to scare granny.

158
00:05:09,620 --> 00:05:12,480
Look, Social Security has always been the third

159
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,500
rail in American politics.

160
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,600
You touch it.

161
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,460
You get burnt.

162
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:17,440
George W.

163
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,940
Bush learned that the hard way.

164
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:25,360
These this Trump Doge Musk vote administration is

165
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,440
in such a bubble.

166
00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:28,080
They don't understand it.

167
00:05:28,420 --> 00:05:31,400
They are so frothing at the mouth for

168
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,320
tax cuts.

169
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,520
Jacques, Jacques, who's frothing at the mouth?

170
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,620
Chuck Schumer is in such a bubble.

171
00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:40,360
They don't understand it.

172
00:05:40,380 --> 00:05:42,860
They are so frothing at the mouth.

173
00:05:43,220 --> 00:05:44,120
A gas lighter.

174
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:46,460
Oh, it gets better because we got Warren

175
00:05:46,460 --> 00:05:49,040
and that other old bag tax cuts for

176
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,920
the wealthy that they're willing to even touch

177
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:52,840
Social Security.

178
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:55,140
And they're not just touching it.

179
00:05:55,260 --> 00:05:56,640
They're trying to destroy it.

180
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,100
They're trying to strangle it.

181
00:05:58,260 --> 00:06:02,180
Elon Musk makes eight million dollars a day.

182
00:06:02,260 --> 00:06:04,460
The American dream from the federal government.

183
00:06:04,460 --> 00:06:08,000
And he wants to take away the 65

184
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,320
dollars a day that the average Social Security

185
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,440
recipient gets.

186
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,640
This is really ugly.

187
00:06:15,180 --> 00:06:16,840
It's I mean, it's such a lie.

188
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:20,780
There is no truth, no evidence whatsoever.

189
00:06:21,740 --> 00:06:24,860
This this is actually now you are scaring

190
00:06:24,860 --> 00:06:28,500
granny and other people, people and people actually

191
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:29,400
are looking at their check.

192
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:30,240
Well, let me get my check.

193
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:30,600
Let me see.

194
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:34,020
Trump and Musk know that they don't have

195
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:36,540
the votes in Congress to cut Social Security.

196
00:06:37,140 --> 00:06:41,680
So instead, they're trying backdoor cuts by dismantling

197
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,680
the agency that makes sure that Americans get

198
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,200
the benefits they are legally entitled to.

199
00:06:47,260 --> 00:06:48,460
How does that even make sense?

200
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,420
So they know they can't do it, but

201
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:53,000
they're going to close the door.

202
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,100
They're going to stop the checks.

203
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,120
They're going to lay in front of the

204
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:55,620
mail truck.

205
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,060
Social Security is under siege.

206
00:06:58,060 --> 00:07:01,820
The chainsaw is pointed at their earned Social

207
00:07:01,820 --> 00:07:02,940
Security benefits.

208
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,160
We believe Republicans have manufactured a crisis of

209
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,040
Social Security.

210
00:07:07,460 --> 00:07:10,540
And the reality of Social Security is fully

211
00:07:10,540 --> 00:07:12,080
funded for generations.

212
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:15,800
If Congress eliminated the payroll tax cut cap

213
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,420
for billionaires and collected the money that they

214
00:07:18,420 --> 00:07:21,000
are illegally evading in taxes.

215
00:07:21,260 --> 00:07:24,180
So they're getting a head start by laying

216
00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:27,500
off people who are responsible for collecting taxes

217
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:28,580
owed by the wealthy.

218
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,280
So then they had another tactic.

219
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,280
Well, I know what we'll do.

220
00:07:31,820 --> 00:07:35,340
We'll tell everybody Elon's quitting because we're getting

221
00:07:35,340 --> 00:07:35,820
to him.

222
00:07:35,940 --> 00:07:37,800
Well, let's stay in the US where media

223
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,900
reports are saying that Donald Trump has told

224
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:43,120
close associates that Elon Musk will soon step

225
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,260
down from his job in the administration.

226
00:07:46,220 --> 00:07:48,300
Mr. Musk is head of the Department of

227
00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:50,580
Government Efficiency, or DOGE, where he's in charge

228
00:07:50,580 --> 00:07:52,320
of cutting federal bureaucracy.

229
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,680
Reports emerged after an election in Wisconsin that

230
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,920
developed into a test of Musk and Trump's

231
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,160
popularity in the state.

232
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,860
A tech billionaire poured millions of dollars into

233
00:08:02,860 --> 00:08:05,180
the election to pick a new judge on

234
00:08:05,180 --> 00:08:06,960
Wisconsin's Supreme Court.

235
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:10,760
Musk's Trump-friendly candidate lost to a liberal.

236
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,420
The White House responded to the reports by

237
00:08:13,420 --> 00:08:16,060
saying that Musk will depart from public service

238
00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:18,040
when his work at DOGE is complete.

239
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,200
So they started this rumor.

240
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,680
Oh, Elon's quitting.

241
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,420
Oh, he's leaving.

242
00:08:23,540 --> 00:08:24,860
Everybody jumped on it.

243
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,480
The news.

244
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,500
The news.

245
00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:27,220
They had news.

246
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,180
Here's NBC's version.

247
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,760
You have some new reporting about Elon Musk

248
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,080
and his White House role.

249
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:36,020
Nothing.

250
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,179
As we've heard from President Trump.

251
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,299
That'd be a good chant.

252
00:08:39,419 --> 00:08:40,100
What do we know?

253
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:40,620
Nothing.

254
00:08:41,419 --> 00:08:42,440
Why do we not know it?

255
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:43,039
We're dumb.

256
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,560
Yeah, Kate, over the last several days, we've

257
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:47,580
heard from President Trump in the Oval Office

258
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:51,320
on Monday saying that Elon Musk would be

259
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,120
going back to the private sector in the

260
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,800
near future.

261
00:08:53,860 --> 00:08:55,700
Well, we're just hearing from a senior White

262
00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:58,180
House official that the president did tell his

263
00:08:58,180 --> 00:09:01,860
cabinet back during a meeting on March 24th

264
00:09:01,860 --> 00:09:05,540
that Elon Musk, who heads up DOGE and

265
00:09:05,540 --> 00:09:07,320
of course has become a key figure in

266
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,680
this administration, that he would be going back

267
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:10,640
to the private sector.

268
00:09:10,780 --> 00:09:12,580
And the White House official tells me that

269
00:09:12,580 --> 00:09:14,120
this would be at the end of his

270
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,960
130 days as a special government employee.

271
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,260
Of course, that would be in late March.

272
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,600
So of course, Kate, this- How would

273
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,800
that be late March of next year?

274
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,840
Comes on the heels of that special election

275
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,460
in Wisconsin yesterday, where Democrats are seeing that

276
00:09:31,460 --> 00:09:32,160
as a win.

277
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,720
Elon Musk, of course, spending millions, his PAC

278
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,940
spending millions of dollars on that state Supreme

279
00:09:36,940 --> 00:09:41,260
Court race, and that his candidate lost significantly

280
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:42,120
in that race.

281
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,560
This all comes in that timing.

282
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:45,080
But again, the White House saying that this

283
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,000
was in the works before this, and this

284
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,240
just simply is Elon Musk's role as a

285
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,220
government employee running its course, Kate.

286
00:09:52,380 --> 00:09:54,720
I will say when Musk was running around

287
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,900
on the stage in Wisconsin with the cheese

288
00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:58,720
on his head, I thought, man, you are

289
00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,920
a Trump's monkey boy.

290
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,000
You're really- That's pretty bad.

291
00:10:02,140 --> 00:10:04,020
He'll do whatever he wants you to.

292
00:10:04,140 --> 00:10:05,460
I thought that was bad.

293
00:10:05,540 --> 00:10:06,060
But I don't know.

294
00:10:06,460 --> 00:10:08,880
The bottom line is Elon is political poison.

295
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,080
This morning, you can find some Democrats smiling,

296
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,200
maybe for the first time in the last

297
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:14,680
few months.

298
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,440
That's after some good special election results, an

299
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,040
outright win in Wisconsin, and some better margins

300
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,400
in the state of Florida.

301
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:25,040
So what does it all mean and what

302
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,220
really happens- Better margins.

303
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,440
Data analyst, Harry Enten is here.

304
00:10:29,780 --> 00:10:31,720
Let's start with a little bit of Wisconsin,

305
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,780
right, and a moose-boosh on Wisconsin.

306
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:34,520
Moose-boosh!

307
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,680
Elon Musk- Moose-boosh!

308
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:36,780
Moose-boosh!

309
00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:39,780
Would you like some sorbet?

310
00:10:42,860 --> 00:10:45,100
How do they come up with these-

311
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:48,240
The chef has a special treat, especially for

312
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,240
you, a spoon of goo.

313
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,220
I had dinner the other night at, what's

314
00:10:55,220 --> 00:10:55,900
it called here?

315
00:10:56,020 --> 00:10:58,520
It's Cabernet Grill, which is actually probably the

316
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,720
best place to get steak.

317
00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:01,300
And you know what they had as a

318
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:02,080
moose-boosh?

319
00:11:04,340 --> 00:11:07,040
A specialty from the chef before- A

320
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,640
single pistachio.

321
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,140
No, no, it's Cabernet Grill, man, we're Texans,

322
00:11:13,220 --> 00:11:13,460
no.

323
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:16,540
They had deep-fried deviled eggs.

324
00:11:19,580 --> 00:11:21,820
This was- Oh, that's a scotch egg,

325
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:22,840
I believe.

326
00:11:23,020 --> 00:11:25,880
Well, but I mean, no, because it was

327
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,400
really, they had really done the deviled thing

328
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,840
inside, you know, so it was half an

329
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,540
egg and they put the filling in, so

330
00:11:32,540 --> 00:11:34,020
it was really a deviled egg, not a

331
00:11:34,020 --> 00:11:34,300
scotch.

332
00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:36,420
A scotch egg is just the whole egg.

333
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,320
But anyway, that was their moose-boosh.

334
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:40,960
Oh, that's interesting.

335
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:41,520
How was it?

336
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:42,260
It was probably tasty.

337
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,500
It was fantastic.

338
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:44,760
You know what?

339
00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:45,940
Yeah, yeah, we go nuts here.

340
00:11:46,060 --> 00:11:47,920
We try all kinds of stuff in the

341
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,060
deep- I'm sure that's, like, invented there.

342
00:11:52,060 --> 00:11:52,860
I like it.

343
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,620
Moose-boosh on Wisconsin.

344
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,220
This was a race Elon Musk spent big

345
00:11:57,220 --> 00:12:00,240
in this race to sway the Supreme Court

346
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:00,500
race.

347
00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:03,740
He also went to Wisconsin, which may honestly

348
00:12:03,740 --> 00:12:04,420
have backfired.

349
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:06,040
Yeah, I think it may have backfired.

350
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,720
Look, I think there's one thing we should

351
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,860
be taking away from the results in Wisconsin

352
00:12:09,860 --> 00:12:11,700
and the polling that we have from Wisconsin

353
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:12,140
and National.

354
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,540
If you are a Republican candidate running in

355
00:12:14,540 --> 00:12:16,480
a swing state, you don't want Elon Musk

356
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,520
anywhere near you.

357
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,420
Yes, maybe you like the money, but you

358
00:12:19,420 --> 00:12:21,800
do not want his presence in your state.

359
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:22,640
Why is that?

360
00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:25,220
Elon Musk, simply put, is an unpopular guy.

361
00:12:25,420 --> 00:12:27,460
He is political poison.

362
00:12:27,460 --> 00:12:28,300
Look at Wisconsin.

363
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,240
It's net favorable rating.

364
00:12:29,540 --> 00:12:30,760
Minus 12 points.

365
00:12:30,780 --> 00:12:31,800
12 points under water.

366
00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:33,900
It's an stats guy.

367
00:12:34,460 --> 00:12:37,120
They forgot to mention that Soros spent more.

368
00:12:38,660 --> 00:12:41,040
They try to downplay the Soros thing.

369
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:42,180
I've seen a number of stories where they

370
00:12:42,180 --> 00:12:43,360
don't even mention Soros.

371
00:12:43,780 --> 00:12:45,420
It's just that one side was backed by

372
00:12:45,420 --> 00:12:47,940
a billionaire and the other side, oh, grassroots.

373
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,160
Yeah, total grassroots, yes.

374
00:12:50,940 --> 00:12:52,560
And at this point, it's got to be

375
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:53,000
Soros.

376
00:12:53,220 --> 00:12:55,920
Soros has done nothing but damage the system.

377
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,600
Everybody he puts in has been the soft

378
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,100
on crime weenies.

379
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,100
And it's just that this is and you

380
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:06,080
think the media would side with anybody but

381
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,520
Soros.

382
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:08,280
But no, no, Soros is great.

383
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:10,560
And I think it's Open Society Institute, which

384
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,140
has got to be Alex at this point.

385
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:12,880
I mean, George.

386
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,640
Yeah, no, George isn't doing anything.

387
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,760
Yeah, we need to say Alex Soros, just

388
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,700
to make it clear.

389
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,400
And is he now married to Aberdeen?

390
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:23,160
Is that all done?

391
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,660
Did that happen?

392
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:25,520
I don't think so.

393
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,160
Hmm.

394
00:13:26,980 --> 00:13:31,080
Aberdeen, political Aberdeen, Aberdeen.

395
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,940
Wisconsin is net favorable rating minus 12 points,

396
00:13:34,020 --> 00:13:35,000
12 points under water.

397
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,300
That is an even worse number.

398
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:38,720
When you look nationally, look at that.

399
00:13:38,940 --> 00:13:40,480
It's minus 17 points.

400
00:13:40,660 --> 00:13:42,400
Dude, dude, easy does it.

401
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,680
So if there's one big lesson to take

402
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:46,700
away from Wisconsin is Elon Musk does not

403
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:48,420
help Republicans when he shows up.

404
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,260
If anything, the data suggests that he hurts

405
00:13:51,260 --> 00:13:51,380
him.

406
00:13:51,820 --> 00:13:53,920
Republicans, stay clear of Elon Musk.

407
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,260
If you want to win in a swing

408
00:13:55,260 --> 00:13:56,740
state, at least in terms of his physical

409
00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:57,840
appearance in your state.

410
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,180
Oh, especially with that cheese on his head.

411
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:00,820
I'll agree.

412
00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:02,480
I think the cheese on his head was

413
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:02,960
a mistake.

414
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,220
I would not have advised that.

415
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:06,880
I would not have advised that.

416
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,100
I have one of those cheese heads.

417
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,180
They deteriorate after about 10 years.

418
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,120
Oh, they get, they start to break, break

419
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,840
away like in chunky pieces.

420
00:14:16,380 --> 00:14:18,640
No, it's like it turns into a powder.

421
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,880
It's like a bad type of plastic.

422
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:21,680
It's like a foam.

423
00:14:22,060 --> 00:14:23,080
They're made out of foam.

424
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,400
Yeah, you should get rid of that.

425
00:14:24,460 --> 00:14:25,360
That's probably toxic.

426
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,820
Yeah, I can't find it.

427
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:28,280
With a mic.

428
00:14:29,780 --> 00:14:30,840
I'm not surprised.

429
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:31,720
It's in the house somewhere.

430
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,560
I don't know where it is.

431
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,240
So all of this fell away in the

432
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,800
backdrop of, and I'm just going to say,

433
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,660
we didn't know what happened this way.

434
00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:39,360
It was unexpected.

435
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,600
But I think we now are officially in

436
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,420
World War III.

437
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:45,040
That's what this is.

438
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,440
It's a trade war, but we're in World

439
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,960
War III, Liberation Day.

440
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:50,860
And we did it backwards.

441
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:54,200
We celebrated liberation first, then we started the

442
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:54,460
war.

443
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,980
It's been amazing to watch.

444
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,900
I've just been like, because nobody knows what's

445
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:02,240
going to happen with these tariffs.

446
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,620
Every economist, oh, it's going to be great.

447
00:15:04,860 --> 00:15:05,980
Oh, it's going to be the worst thing

448
00:15:05,980 --> 00:15:06,140
ever.

449
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,900
Oh, the whole world's going to go into

450
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:08,320
recession.

451
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,660
Depression, 1930.

452
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:10,860
It's all over.

453
00:15:11,020 --> 00:15:12,480
Oh, no, this is going to make America

454
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:12,860
the best.

455
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,780
It's MAWA, MAWA, MAWA.

456
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:16,580
That's the new one.

457
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,840
MAWA, make America wealthy again.

458
00:15:20,130 --> 00:15:23,640
My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day.

459
00:15:23,820 --> 00:15:31,840
Yeah, April 2nd, 2025 will forever be remembered

460
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,820
as the day American industry was reborn, the

461
00:15:35,820 --> 00:15:39,500
day America's destiny was reclaimed, and the day

462
00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:43,960
that we began to make America wealthy again.

463
00:15:44,850 --> 00:15:46,820
Going to make it wealthy, good and wealthy.

464
00:15:46,820 --> 00:15:47,440
MAWA.

465
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,880
For decades, our country has been looted, pillaged,

466
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,680
raped and plundered by nations near and far,

467
00:15:53,820 --> 00:15:55,800
both friend and foe alike.

468
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,860
American steelworkers, autoworkers, farmers and skilled craftsmen.

469
00:16:00,980 --> 00:16:02,120
We have a lot of them here with

470
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:02,660
us today.

471
00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:05,800
They really suffered gravely.

472
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,020
They watched in anguish as foreign leaders have

473
00:16:09,020 --> 00:16:10,260
stolen our jobs.

474
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,180
Foreign cheaters have ransacked our factory.

475
00:16:14,220 --> 00:16:17,680
Foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful

476
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,580
American dream.

477
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,420
We had an American dream that you don't

478
00:16:20,420 --> 00:16:21,420
hear so much about.

479
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,880
You did four years ago and you are

480
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,220
now.

481
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,800
But you don't too often.

482
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,960
And for many years and decades, even you

483
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,840
didn't hear too much about our country and

484
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,060
its taxpayers have been ripped off for more

485
00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:34,280
than 50 years.

486
00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:37,900
But it is not going to happen anymore.

487
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,040
It's not going to happen.

488
00:16:40,060 --> 00:16:42,580
So there were a couple of really interesting

489
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:43,900
things about this announcement.

490
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,920
I was I was watching the I was

491
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,460
watching CNBC and Fox News and watching the

492
00:16:49,460 --> 00:16:52,520
after hours numbers, the after hour trading and

493
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,760
everything kind of closed on.

494
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,620
It really surprised me.

495
00:16:55,700 --> 00:16:56,740
Everything closed up.

496
00:16:57,580 --> 00:16:59,780
And it was as if no one believed

497
00:16:59,780 --> 00:17:00,680
he was going to do this.

498
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,740
The minute he brought that wacky chart out,

499
00:17:02,820 --> 00:17:05,920
that board, boom, everything started tanking.

500
00:17:05,980 --> 00:17:08,700
Everyone's like, oh, this is the worst of

501
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:10,500
all worst possible scenarios.

502
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,760
We didn't expect this.

503
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:13,920
Well, what do we do like that?

504
00:17:14,460 --> 00:17:16,260
But you didn't expect him to actually do

505
00:17:16,260 --> 00:17:16,619
this.

506
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,400
And there was something else in this in

507
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,859
this speech, because it's not really about tariffs,

508
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,099
but a whole bunch of other things.

509
00:17:24,099 --> 00:17:26,660
For decades, the United States slashed our trade

510
00:17:26,660 --> 00:17:30,020
barriers on other countries, while those nations placed

511
00:17:30,020 --> 00:17:33,520
massive tariffs on our products and created outrageous

512
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,920
non-monetary barriers to decimate our industries.

513
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,660
And in many cases, the non-monetary barriers

514
00:17:40,660 --> 00:17:42,860
were worse than the monetary ones.

515
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,800
They manipulated their currency, subsidized their exports, stole

516
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,460
our intellectual property, imposed exorbitant VAT taxes to

517
00:17:52,460 --> 00:17:56,820
disadvantage our products, adopted unfair rules and technical

518
00:17:56,820 --> 00:18:00,400
standards and created filthy pollution havens.

519
00:18:00,420 --> 00:18:01,860
They were absolutely filthy.

520
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,680
But they always came to us and they

521
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,080
said, we're violating China for it.

522
00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:09,640
It's all detailed in a very big report

523
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,640
by the U.S. trade representative on foreign

524
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,620
trade barriers.

525
00:18:13,980 --> 00:18:15,940
And I'll just hold it up for you.

526
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,460
It's a big report available and you don't

527
00:18:18,460 --> 00:18:19,360
have to pay too much.

528
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,880
As I understand it, you pay nothing.

529
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:21,460
Big report.

530
00:18:21,460 --> 00:18:22,200
A lot of work.

531
00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:25,280
A lot of work for something, actually, because

532
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,340
it's a special it's a special book.

533
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,040
It's very, frankly, it's very upsetting when you

534
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,880
read it, when you see what people have

535
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,660
been doing to us for 30 years.

536
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,160
So it's the best book ever.

537
00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:38,140
It's the best, best book ever.

538
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:38,900
30 years.

539
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:40,200
Going 30.

540
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:41,020
Oh, yeah.

541
00:18:41,540 --> 00:18:42,100
Best book.

542
00:18:42,140 --> 00:18:42,940
It's a beautiful book.

543
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,140
I started reading the book.

544
00:18:44,180 --> 00:18:46,240
I'm like, my eyes are glazing over from

545
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:46,700
this book.

546
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,480
And the way they calculate and I was

547
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,480
surprising was, you know, with a reciprocal.

548
00:18:54,340 --> 00:18:57,460
And so the president put exactly 50 percent

549
00:18:57,460 --> 00:19:00,440
tariffs of all the tariffs that are that

550
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,420
have been put on us.

551
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,700
So if you had 40 percent, then you

552
00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:05,200
got 20 percent from us.

553
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:08,840
And the economists are flabbergasted at how they

554
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:09,780
did the calculation.

555
00:19:10,140 --> 00:19:14,260
Some economists have figured out what I wanted,

556
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,760
which is you're on the Trump clips.

557
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,040
I had a couple of clips I wanted

558
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:17,720
to get in.

559
00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:18,140
Oh, yeah.

560
00:19:18,180 --> 00:19:18,660
OK, sure.

561
00:19:20,420 --> 00:19:22,540
Because I thought that these were the more

562
00:19:22,540 --> 00:19:25,640
important clips of that speech of his, which

563
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,840
were the ones that have actual numbers when

564
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,400
he started bitching about NAFTA.

565
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,580
And and I believe that the NAFTA thing,

566
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:36,340
he might be right about it was the

567
00:19:36,340 --> 00:19:38,380
deciding factor.

568
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:38,840
That's it.

569
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,580
That's where it's 30 years comes from us,

570
00:19:40,620 --> 00:19:41,180
from NAFTA.

571
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:43,480
Yeah, I think you're right, because it does

572
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,840
seem to match because that's Clinton came up

573
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,820
with NAFTA and it really did open the

574
00:19:49,820 --> 00:19:50,180
drain.

575
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,040
That's for sure.

576
00:19:51,260 --> 00:19:53,460
But since the very beginning of NAFTA, our

577
00:19:53,460 --> 00:19:57,160
country lost 90,000 factories.

578
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,220
Think of what that is.

579
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,020
Ninety thousand.

580
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,660
Think about putting a map up and putting

581
00:20:01,660 --> 00:20:02,480
tax on it.

582
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:03,480
You wouldn't have enough room.

583
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:04,720
Ninety thousand.

584
00:20:04,820 --> 00:20:05,920
I said, is that possible?

585
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,140
We had it checked four different times and

586
00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:10,000
it was actually somewhat higher than that.

587
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,740
And five million manufacturing jobs were lost while

588
00:20:13,740 --> 00:20:18,800
racking up trade deficits of 19 trillion dollars.

589
00:20:18,860 --> 00:20:21,100
That was the worst trade deal ever made.

590
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,460
As a result of these gigantic losses, foreign

591
00:20:24,460 --> 00:20:27,360
nations now own twenty six trillion dollars more

592
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,200
of American assets than American.

593
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,460
Yep.

594
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:34,620
I thought those were good numbers.

595
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:35,420
Yeah.

596
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,900
And 90,000 is a lot.

597
00:20:38,180 --> 00:20:38,860
That's a lot.

598
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:41,560
Thank you, Bill Clinton.

599
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,860
And the other thing was, is that I

600
00:20:43,860 --> 00:20:46,080
remember because the first thing that came to

601
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,520
mind with the 90,000 factories gone, the

602
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,160
first thing that came to mind with me

603
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,740
was Maytag, the washing machine company.

604
00:20:56,140 --> 00:20:56,640
Yeah, better.

605
00:20:56,860 --> 00:20:57,120
Yeah.

606
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,520
May, the greatest washing machine you could buy

607
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,800
is still I mean, you still use ones

608
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:03,940
are better than the ones you can get

609
00:21:03,940 --> 00:21:04,320
today.

610
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,860
And they took that closed down the entire

611
00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:09,740
operation and moved the whole thing to Mexico.

612
00:21:12,620 --> 00:21:14,960
And because of NAFTA, it is part two

613
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,460
of the NAFTA complaint, the United States can

614
00:21:17,460 --> 00:21:20,860
no longer produce enough antibiotics to treat our

615
00:21:20,860 --> 00:21:21,160
sick.

616
00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:23,300
We have a tremendous problem.

617
00:21:23,420 --> 00:21:25,180
We have to go to foreign countries to

618
00:21:25,180 --> 00:21:25,900
treat our sick.

619
00:21:26,020 --> 00:21:28,040
If anything ever happened from a war standpoint,

620
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,460
we wouldn't be able to do it.

621
00:21:29,460 --> 00:21:33,460
We import virtually all of our computers, phones,

622
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,140
televisions and electronics.

623
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,120
We used to dominate the field.

624
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,220
And now we import it all from different

625
00:21:39,220 --> 00:21:39,720
countries.

626
00:21:40,340 --> 00:21:43,000
A single shipyard in China now produces more

627
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,020
ships every year than all of the American

628
00:21:46,020 --> 00:21:47,260
shipyards combined.

629
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,000
Think of that.

630
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:50,040
And it was a business that we used

631
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:50,600
to dominate.

632
00:21:50,780 --> 00:21:52,320
We used to dominate it totally.

633
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:55,220
In short, chronic trade deficits are no longer

634
00:21:55,220 --> 00:21:56,800
merely an economic problem.

635
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,460
They're a national emergency that threatens our security

636
00:22:00,460 --> 00:22:02,280
and our very way of life.

637
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,920
So I want to play this clip from

638
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,620
Deutsche Welle where they explain the calculation of

639
00:22:09,620 --> 00:22:12,340
the numbers because they did not really look

640
00:22:12,340 --> 00:22:12,940
at the tariffs.

641
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,120
They looked at completely different things.

642
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,560
Some economists have figured out the way that

643
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,400
these were calculated by the White House and

644
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:20,900
its team.

645
00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:23,500
And these economists have been flabbergasted at how

646
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:26,940
cumbersome these equations are, basically saying that the

647
00:22:26,940 --> 00:22:29,000
U.S. took the trade deficit that the

648
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,440
U.S. has with said country and divided

649
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,780
it by the imports from that country, which

650
00:22:33,780 --> 00:22:35,620
is a very clunky way of doing things

651
00:22:35,620 --> 00:22:37,740
and not as surgical as you would expect.

652
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:39,940
Some countries, though, however, of course, have tried

653
00:22:39,940 --> 00:22:42,140
to stave off these tariffs.

654
00:22:42,260 --> 00:22:43,900
The White House, though, says that it was

655
00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:45,020
too little too late.

656
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:47,260
A senior White House official that we heard

657
00:22:47,260 --> 00:22:49,320
from said, quote, this is not a negotiation.

658
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,440
It's a national emergency.

659
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,420
And they said that the biggest problem was

660
00:22:53,420 --> 00:22:57,680
not necessarily tariff, the tariffs themselves, but actually

661
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,860
non-tariff barriers to things like quotas, import

662
00:23:00,860 --> 00:23:02,960
licenses, embargoes and things like that.

663
00:23:03,020 --> 00:23:05,340
So there are still some countries, however, trying

664
00:23:05,340 --> 00:23:07,220
to work their way around these tariffs.

665
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:09,040
But right now they will be coming into

666
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,160
effect in the next couple of days, a

667
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,000
minimum of 10 percent.

668
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,740
But some nations paying drastically more than that.

669
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,940
So they were really looking at the at

670
00:23:17,940 --> 00:23:18,700
the grand picture.

671
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:21,100
I think that's that's kind of smart.

672
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:23,900
It's like, look, I thought so, too, which

673
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:25,180
brings me to another clip.

674
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:26,100
If you don't mind.

675
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:26,700
Yeah, of course.

676
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,400
This is the just talking to the mic,

677
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:29,660
man.

678
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,160
You're not you're not hitting the mic.

679
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:31,480
I'm sorry.

680
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:31,980
Yeah.

681
00:23:32,420 --> 00:23:34,480
So I was reaching for something.

682
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:34,800
Yeah.

683
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:36,420
Well, talking.

684
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,660
What were you reaching for?

685
00:23:39,180 --> 00:23:42,080
The paper that has the list of clips.

686
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,220
The clip list.

687
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,460
Very important paper.

688
00:23:46,340 --> 00:23:48,780
NPR, when they discussed this, that they were,

689
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,540
you know, and you saw this in most

690
00:23:50,540 --> 00:23:51,020
media.

691
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,640
In fact, here we start with this tariff

692
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:54,880
slant NPR.

693
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:58,420
You can hear what they think behind it.

694
00:23:58,500 --> 00:23:59,740
You know, it's like it is bad.

695
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:00,220
Oh, yeah.

696
00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:03,400
President Donald Trump announced a sweeping plan to

697
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,840
apply a 10 percent tariff on all imports

698
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,600
coming into the U.S. And Franco Ordonia

699
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,560
supports a list of countries will also face

700
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,700
additional, quote, reciprocal tariffs.

701
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:16,160
Some countries will face reciprocal tariffs as high

702
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,520
as 49 percent.

703
00:24:17,980 --> 00:24:19,780
And what some experts describe as the most

704
00:24:19,780 --> 00:24:22,460
aggressive changes to U.S. trade policy in

705
00:24:22,460 --> 00:24:22,900
decades.

706
00:24:23,540 --> 00:24:25,720
President Trump announced a plan during a Rose

707
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,500
Garden ceremony at the White House.

708
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,840
This is one of the most important days,

709
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,660
in my opinion, in American history.

710
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:36,500
It's a declaration of economic independence.

711
00:24:37,020 --> 00:24:39,040
U.S. officials say the 10 percent tariffs

712
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,720
will start April 5th.

713
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,320
About 60 countries will face additional customized reciprocal

714
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,560
tariffs starting on April 9th.

715
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,020
Trump boasted the plan would supercharge the industrial

716
00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:50,780
base and boost government revenues.

717
00:24:51,340 --> 00:24:53,500
But most economists warn that tariffs will raise

718
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:56,640
prices for consumers and could hurt the economy.

719
00:24:56,980 --> 00:24:58,660
The exact extent to which the new Trump

720
00:24:58,660 --> 00:25:00,860
administration tariffs will play out in the economy

721
00:25:00,860 --> 00:25:02,140
is an unknown.

722
00:25:02,260 --> 00:25:03,980
But if history is any guide, while the

723
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:06,560
tariffs could create jobs in some sectors, they

724
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,200
will also cause job losses in others.

725
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,080
Diane Swank is the chief economist at KPMG

726
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,560
U.S. She says the higher tariffs against

727
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,340
goods imported from other countries could essentially rewrite

728
00:25:17,340 --> 00:25:19,860
the way global trade has been conducted, potentially

729
00:25:19,860 --> 00:25:21,840
pushing up prices for U.S. consumers.

730
00:25:22,020 --> 00:25:24,900
Tariffs are a regressive tax.

731
00:25:25,060 --> 00:25:26,920
Not only do they tax those who can

732
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,760
afford it least, they also tend to trigger

733
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,160
reactions by our trading partners and can trigger

734
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:32,860
a trade war.

735
00:25:33,340 --> 00:25:37,520
And they cause inflation and stem growth at

736
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,380
the same time.

737
00:25:38,380 --> 00:25:40,340
New tariffs will not apply to some goods

738
00:25:40,340 --> 00:25:42,700
like steel and aluminum, which are already subject

739
00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:43,360
to tariffs.

740
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,120
I like this that continuously calling it a

741
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:47,940
tax tax.

742
00:25:48,540 --> 00:25:49,360
It's a tax.

743
00:25:49,380 --> 00:25:50,700
It's a tax on your own people.

744
00:25:50,780 --> 00:25:53,440
And then Queen Ursula says, well, you know,

745
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,020
we're just going to have to raise our

746
00:25:55,020 --> 00:25:55,420
tariffs.

747
00:25:55,580 --> 00:25:56,880
Well, aren't you saying you're going to raise

748
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,420
taxes on your own people then?

749
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:00,360
It's a tariff.

750
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:01,200
It's a tariff.

751
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,960
It's never presented that way.

752
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,580
That's a very good observation.

753
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:05,440
Yeah, it's not.

754
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:06,560
It's never presented that.

755
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,700
It's only on our side.

756
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:09,000
Everything's bad about us.

757
00:26:09,460 --> 00:26:11,320
And NPR, you know, they don't have a

758
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:11,660
balance.

759
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,520
They don't have one guy saying something else.

760
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,700
I mean, I got clips.

761
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,140
I got it.

762
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,000
Of course not.

763
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:17,040
Why would you do that?

764
00:26:17,340 --> 00:26:18,900
So I was stunned.

765
00:26:19,020 --> 00:26:19,280
Oh.

766
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,000
When Planet Money.

767
00:26:22,620 --> 00:26:24,620
That's is that Kyle the spook?

768
00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:27,020
I don't know who it is, but no,

769
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:27,560
this is no.

770
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,100
That was the the other.

771
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:29,640
Oh, no.

772
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,000
The other the other spook.

773
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:32,840
The other.

774
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:33,400
I don't know.

775
00:26:33,540 --> 00:26:33,960
Planet Money.

776
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:34,240
Yeah.

777
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,980
Planet Money is similar.

778
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,500
And Planet Money, which is on NPR, they

779
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:39,160
played this.

780
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:39,800
These two.

781
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:40,840
I got two clips here.

782
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,260
And they kind of went to the and

783
00:26:43,260 --> 00:26:45,840
I didn't get the memo, I guess.

784
00:26:45,860 --> 00:26:47,000
And they kind of took it the other

785
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:47,420
way.

786
00:26:47,820 --> 00:26:50,200
But for a long time, the dominant voices

787
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,000
in the profession made the case that those

788
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,060
tradeoffs were really worth it.

789
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,920
Top lawmakers in both parties in the US

790
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,200
really bought into this idea that, you know,

791
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,260
free trade would be great for America.

792
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,580
And they really pushed it for the rest

793
00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:04,120
of the world.

794
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,120
And through the decades of that argument, there's

795
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:09,580
been an economist who argued that the dominant

796
00:27:09,580 --> 00:27:13,000
voices in economics were wrong, that free trade

797
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,580
actually sometimes held countries back and protectionism could

798
00:27:17,580 --> 00:27:18,680
help make them richer.

799
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,620
Hi, I'm Hajun Chang.

800
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,780
I'm professor of economics at the University of

801
00:27:23,780 --> 00:27:24,060
London.

802
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:27,100
Hajun Chang wrote a book called Kicking Away

803
00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:29,760
the Ladder in 2002 about how rich countries

804
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,760
used protectionist policies like tariffs back when they

805
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,320
were developing and then told everyone else they

806
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,180
couldn't do that.

807
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,020
They had to do free trade.

808
00:27:38,580 --> 00:27:41,040
And being a pro-tariff economist back in

809
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,500
the early 2000s, it was kind of lonely.

810
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,180
But he's got kind of the perfect example

811
00:27:46,180 --> 00:27:47,940
of why tariffs can work.

812
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,740
My favorite example is Hyundai, the automobile company.

813
00:27:53,180 --> 00:27:54,940
When Hajun was a little kid growing up

814
00:27:54,940 --> 00:27:57,680
in South Korea, Hyundai was not yet an

815
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,500
automobile company.

816
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:03,900
Hyundai originally was a construction company, but sometime

817
00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:07,380
in the late 60s, this company decided that

818
00:28:07,380 --> 00:28:10,580
they want to build an automobile manufacturing business.

819
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,720
So first, Hyundai had to figure out how

820
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:14,620
to make a car.

821
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:17,760
Hajun says it started by placing an order

822
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,840
with Ford for something called a knockdown kit,

823
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,480
which is just a big wooden box full

824
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,540
of all the parts you could ever need

825
00:28:25,540 --> 00:28:27,120
to build one car.

826
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,700
The box arrives, you open it up, and

827
00:28:29,700 --> 00:28:31,420
it's just full of car parts, large and

828
00:28:31,420 --> 00:28:35,400
small, a door, a bolt, two headlights.

829
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,920
Isn't that how they put the Cybertruck together?

830
00:28:39,620 --> 00:28:41,780
The knockdown kit, the knockdown kit.

831
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:42,240
Could be.

832
00:28:42,460 --> 00:28:44,300
Just throw a couple of panels on it.

833
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:45,020
That's what they ended up with.

834
00:28:45,180 --> 00:28:46,020
They had the wrong.

835
00:28:46,700 --> 00:28:47,140
Yeah.

836
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,320
Have you ever seen a knockdown kit?

837
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:50,520
No, I never have.

838
00:28:50,580 --> 00:28:51,180
I've heard of them.

839
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:51,700
Huh.

840
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:52,840
Interesting.

841
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,260
So, so that goes from there, and then

842
00:28:57,260 --> 00:29:00,300
the kicker here is exactly what you mentioned

843
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:04,020
a minute ago, which is that instead of

844
00:29:04,020 --> 00:29:08,220
using the tariff number, you, you, you use

845
00:29:08,220 --> 00:29:10,360
the actual, what they actually did.

846
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,280
Well, the trade balance in general.

847
00:29:12,420 --> 00:29:13,780
They took the trade balance.

848
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:14,440
Yeah.

849
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,460
But listen to this piece of of information

850
00:29:17,460 --> 00:29:20,000
that how Hyundai got into business in the

851
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:20,380
first place.

852
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,260
And now they make a really terrific car.

853
00:29:22,950 --> 00:29:25,100
But listen to what did you think they

854
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:26,900
had to do to get to the point

855
00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:27,780
where they are now?

856
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:28,380
Listen.

857
00:29:28,860 --> 00:29:32,920
They assembled around 3,000 of those cars

858
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,320
in the late 60s.

859
00:29:35,020 --> 00:29:37,100
And then in the mid 70s, South Korean

860
00:29:37,100 --> 00:29:40,680
government said, we are going to cancel the

861
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,540
license for auto manufacturers unless they come up

862
00:29:43,540 --> 00:29:44,600
with their own design.

863
00:29:45,180 --> 00:29:45,320
Yeah.

864
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,380
The government was like, actually, we want our

865
00:29:47,380 --> 00:29:51,180
car industry to be real companies, global players.

866
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,640
Assembling a Ford car is not our end

867
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,060
goal here.

868
00:29:55,340 --> 00:29:56,500
Can you level up a little bit?

869
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,840
So Hyundai had to come out with their

870
00:29:58,840 --> 00:29:59,580
own design.

871
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,660
In 1976, it made the Hyundai Pony.

872
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,260
It was the first Korean passenger car.

873
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,460
They made around 10,000 of them in

874
00:30:07,460 --> 00:30:07,820
a year.

875
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:11,600
In the same year, Ford produced 1.9

876
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:12,400
million cars.

877
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,680
General Motors produced 4.8 million cars.

878
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,480
So they had a ways to go and

879
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,460
they got a lot of help.

880
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,320
Initially, this company had to be hugely subsidized

881
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,800
both by the government and by its own

882
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,360
existing business, especially construction.

883
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,740
There was no way this company was going

884
00:30:33,740 --> 00:30:35,880
to be able to make money without that.

885
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,800
So, yeah, Hyundai was losing money on this

886
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:39,360
new venture.

887
00:30:39,580 --> 00:30:42,120
And he's saying the government decided to pitch

888
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,080
in, give it some subsidies and the other

889
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,700
parts of Hyundai that were profitable sent over

890
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:47,180
their money.

891
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,080
But even that wasn't enough.

892
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,220
Even then, it had to be protected from

893
00:30:52,220 --> 00:30:56,020
foreign competition because who's going to buy this

894
00:30:56,020 --> 00:30:58,700
two bit car when you could import a

895
00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:00,940
Cadillac or, you know, Mustang?

896
00:31:01,420 --> 00:31:02,200
Yeah, no way.

897
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,720
So import of foreign cars were completely banned.

898
00:31:05,860 --> 00:31:08,800
Yeah, a total import ban, like a tariff

899
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:09,400
to infinity.

900
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:10,800
The tariff of all tariffs.

901
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,200
Oh, man.

902
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,000
That's how you do it.

903
00:31:14,100 --> 00:31:14,380
Yeah.

904
00:31:15,620 --> 00:31:16,740
Complete ban.

905
00:31:16,940 --> 00:31:19,940
I mean, I guess we subsidize our our

906
00:31:19,940 --> 00:31:24,080
aircraft manufacturing industry with war in a way,

907
00:31:24,140 --> 00:31:25,880
or maybe that doesn't even count anymore.

908
00:31:26,940 --> 00:31:29,600
What so and I actually I watch a

909
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,080
lot of Bloomberg television, which is so much

910
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,540
superior to CNBC.

911
00:31:33,940 --> 00:31:36,320
CNBC is just pretty people hair on fire.

912
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,120
Bloomberg is actually ugly people on Bloomberg.

913
00:31:40,860 --> 00:31:42,900
And, you know, and they have just the

914
00:31:42,900 --> 00:31:45,360
video is not the most important thing.

915
00:31:45,460 --> 00:31:47,200
It's all the stats and the charts around

916
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:47,400
it.

917
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:49,720
And and they had Tom Ford on.

918
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,260
He's what is he, the the the governor

919
00:31:54,260 --> 00:31:57,400
of again, of Ottawa, of Ottawa or no,

920
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,780
of Ontario, Ontario.

921
00:31:59,260 --> 00:31:59,840
I think so.

922
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,880
And so, you know, there's a there's this

923
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,000
massive carve out for Mexico and for Canada

924
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,200
based on the USMCA, which is the renegotiated

925
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,840
version of NAFTA that the president did when

926
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,060
he was 45.

927
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:16,800
And man, it's like this.

928
00:32:17,060 --> 00:32:18,920
Remember, Tom Ford, I'm going to turn off

929
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:19,520
the power.

930
00:32:19,660 --> 00:32:20,600
We're going to fight you.

931
00:32:20,660 --> 00:32:21,960
We don't care about you.

932
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,080
Look at me.

933
00:32:24,340 --> 00:32:26,200
I smoke crack like my brother.

934
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,960
And this is a whole new guy.

935
00:32:30,140 --> 00:32:32,400
Canada got a break and they know it.

936
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,860
It's great to have you with us, Mr.

937
00:32:33,940 --> 00:32:34,140
Ford.

938
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,580
You've called this termination day instead of liberation.

939
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:39,840
What will be the response now from Canada?

940
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,380
Well, let's see where these tariffs go.

941
00:32:44,580 --> 00:32:47,940
I'm cautiously optimistic that I never saw Canada

942
00:32:47,940 --> 00:32:50,580
or Mexico on that list.

943
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,800
And it just goes to show you two

944
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,140
great countries working together, collaborating together and building

945
00:32:57,140 --> 00:32:57,840
relationships.

946
00:32:58,220 --> 00:33:01,960
So, again, I'm cautiously optimistic.

947
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,040
I think it's if that's the case, it's

948
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,020
the right thing for both the U.S.

949
00:33:08,060 --> 00:33:08,560
and Canada.

950
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:12,700
Well, and considering Canada was not on that

951
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:14,920
list, we understand the existing regime is in

952
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,120
place of the tariffs that are in place

953
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,640
with the exemption of goods that are USMCA

954
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:20,240
compliant.

955
00:33:20,380 --> 00:33:21,800
Does that mean, sir, at least in your

956
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,680
mind, that it wouldn't be appropriate for Canada

957
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,880
to retaliate for this at this time?

958
00:33:26,860 --> 00:33:28,400
That is that is correct.

959
00:33:29,060 --> 00:33:33,340
If that's the case, then I would highly

960
00:33:33,340 --> 00:33:36,320
recommend to the prime minister not to retaliate.

961
00:33:36,700 --> 00:33:39,520
And let's carry on a strong relationship.

962
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,660
Let's build the Amcan fortress, American-Canadian fortress

963
00:33:44,460 --> 00:33:46,880
around both countries and be the wealthiest, most

964
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,400
prosperous, safest two countries in the world.

965
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,460
So he went.

966
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:51,300
Wait a minute.

967
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,740
He went from, you know, shutting off electricity.

968
00:33:56,540 --> 00:33:57,920
This is no good.

969
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,720
Trump is declaring war to let's build a

970
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,580
fence around Amcan.

971
00:34:02,780 --> 00:34:03,260
Amcan.

972
00:34:03,540 --> 00:34:04,460
I never heard of that one.

973
00:34:04,460 --> 00:34:04,960
Amcan.

974
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:06,200
He's folding here.

975
00:34:06,380 --> 00:34:08,860
You suggested that Canada would bring down its

976
00:34:08,860 --> 00:34:11,900
tariffs if the United States did the same.

977
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,420
Does this turn into a game of chicken?

978
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,520
Do you believe that the White House would

979
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:17,460
respond accordingly?

980
00:34:18,820 --> 00:34:20,139
Well, I hope so.

981
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,280
You know, it's it's we're neighbors for the

982
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,159
last 200 years.

983
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,239
And when we show good faith or the

984
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,320
U.S. shows good faith, you have to

985
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:29,620
follow.

986
00:34:30,219 --> 00:34:31,960
This is a partnership that's going to go

987
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,920
on for hopefully several hundred more years and

988
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:35,960
decades to come.

989
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,320
And and we have bigger concerns.

990
00:34:38,580 --> 00:34:39,120
Oh, we got him.

991
00:34:39,260 --> 00:34:40,920
Oh, wait, just wait for it.

992
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,080
Both Canada and the U.S. than each

993
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:43,320
other.

994
00:34:43,420 --> 00:34:45,360
We have to keep an eye on other

995
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,739
countries like like China.

996
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:49,560
Who makes the first move in a game

997
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,000
like that?

998
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,840
Well, we'll work collaboratively with the administration and

999
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,700
with our prime minister, and he'll be speaking

1000
00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:00,080
to President Trump, I'm sure, over the next

1001
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:00,680
day or so.

1002
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,040
And we'll be working with Secretary Lutnick and

1003
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,020
to get a clear picture of what this

1004
00:35:06,020 --> 00:35:06,880
means for Canada.

1005
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,860
Now, the main thing here, which is really

1006
00:35:08,860 --> 00:35:11,360
the biggest industry that we've been talking about

1007
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,380
and most of this deals with, you played

1008
00:35:13,380 --> 00:35:15,160
here and died there a minute ago, is

1009
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:15,920
the auto industry.

1010
00:35:16,020 --> 00:35:17,580
What about what it means for the auto

1011
00:35:17,580 --> 00:35:18,820
sector in particular?

1012
00:35:19,140 --> 00:35:20,860
Because, of course, I mean, auto sector, we

1013
00:35:20,860 --> 00:35:23,160
learned last week that the president would announce

1014
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,740
what he made final today, which is that

1015
00:35:24,740 --> 00:35:27,300
25 percent tariffs on auto imports will be

1016
00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:28,480
going into place.

1017
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,500
Obviously, parts are going to be included in

1018
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:32,820
that eventually, sir.

1019
00:35:33,020 --> 00:35:35,200
So what impact do you expect that alone

1020
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,860
will have, even if tariffs on a reciprocal

1021
00:35:37,860 --> 00:35:39,580
tariffs were not applied to Canada today?

1022
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,520
Well, I just hope there's no tariffs on

1023
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,700
on auto because parts go back and forth

1024
00:35:45,700 --> 00:35:47,880
across the border seven, eight times before they

1025
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,500
get assembled, either in Ontario or one of

1026
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:52,780
the states, be it Michigan or other U

1027
00:35:52,780 --> 00:35:53,340
.S. states.

1028
00:35:53,380 --> 00:35:55,800
It's a system that works and has worked

1029
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,080
since 1965.

1030
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,940
I've always said you can't unscramble an egg

1031
00:35:59,940 --> 00:36:01,860
that's been around since 1965.

1032
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,680
You have to make the omelette larger and

1033
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,480
we're just so much stronger together.

1034
00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:08,840
We we buy as many vehicles as we

1035
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,300
sell down there and the ones that we

1036
00:36:11,300 --> 00:36:13,020
ship to the U.S. 50 percent of

1037
00:36:13,020 --> 00:36:15,740
that automobile is U.S. parts.

1038
00:36:16,260 --> 00:36:18,460
So I think the system is working, is

1039
00:36:18,460 --> 00:36:20,060
working well for both countries.

1040
00:36:20,460 --> 00:36:24,920
And it's it's a great system, especially Canada's

1041
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,400
buying 400 percent more vehicles off the U

1042
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,720
.S. than Mexico does, 200 percent more than

1043
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:32,260
any other country in the world.

1044
00:36:32,700 --> 00:36:35,520
We have an incredible relationship with the two

1045
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:36,880
great countries.

1046
00:36:37,460 --> 00:36:37,960
Right.

1047
00:36:38,140 --> 00:36:40,080
So integrated on many different sectors.

1048
00:36:40,300 --> 00:36:43,300
But even the people are integrated, you know,

1049
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,680
millions and millions of Canadians and Americans travel

1050
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,600
back and forth across the border.

1051
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,340
They have family members on both sides of

1052
00:36:49,340 --> 00:36:49,680
the border.

1053
00:36:50,100 --> 00:36:54,380
And we just appreciate and Canadians love Americans,

1054
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:55,400
Americans.

1055
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,540
I love the U.S. 20 years of

1056
00:36:57,540 --> 00:36:58,220
my life there.

1057
00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:01,660
And we have a tremendous amount of respect

1058
00:37:01,660 --> 00:37:04,980
and friendships with our American counterparts.

1059
00:37:05,220 --> 00:37:06,140
So I heard all that.

1060
00:37:06,260 --> 00:37:07,700
And then this is the last short clip.

1061
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,780
Definitely, definitely, definitely someone showed a picture and

1062
00:37:11,780 --> 00:37:15,800
said, hey, Ford, what's that in your mouth?

1063
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,280
Well, so how I guess in the end,

1064
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,160
do you feel, Mr. Ford, about what we

1065
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,760
heard today from the White House?

1066
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,920
You could frame this as could have been

1067
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:23,340
worse.

1068
00:37:23,340 --> 00:37:25,580
You could also feel betrayed by some of

1069
00:37:25,580 --> 00:37:27,500
the comments that President Trump delivered.

1070
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:29,040
How would you describe?

1071
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:29,520
Well, I never.

1072
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,000
Yeah, I never take anything personal from President

1073
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,360
Trump or or any anyone else.

1074
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,040
I understand he's a businessman and that's the

1075
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,620
way he conducts his business.

1076
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:43,940
And fair enough.

1077
00:37:44,020 --> 00:37:45,140
He has a job to do.

1078
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:46,240
We have a job to do.

1079
00:37:46,340 --> 00:37:49,560
And I think any negotiation, we meet in

1080
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,320
the middle and make sure that we grow

1081
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,200
to great countries and make them the strongest

1082
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,180
in the world that no one can touch

1083
00:37:57,180 --> 00:37:57,440
us.

1084
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,700
We'll ship down all the critical minerals.

1085
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,260
We'll ship down all the oil that you

1086
00:38:03,260 --> 00:38:06,000
need and electricity, anything that you need.

1087
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,880
We have more natural resources than anyone in

1088
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:10,840
the entire world.

1089
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:14,160
And again, there's no one I'd want to

1090
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,560
ship it down to more than our great

1091
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:17,340
friends and allies.

1092
00:38:17,780 --> 00:38:18,300
Wow.

1093
00:38:19,140 --> 00:38:21,180
Yeah, that was amazing.

1094
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,480
That was amazing.

1095
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,780
So, OK, so that worked.

1096
00:38:25,220 --> 00:38:26,980
Let's listen to the rest of the world.

1097
00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:29,860
Europe woke up to chaos this morning as

1098
00:38:29,860 --> 00:38:32,500
Trump announced sweeping tariffs on his largest trading

1099
00:38:32,500 --> 00:38:32,980
partners.

1100
00:38:33,340 --> 00:38:33,780
Good morning.

1101
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:35,740
For Ursula von der Leyen, it is a

1102
00:38:35,740 --> 00:38:37,440
major blow to the world economy.

1103
00:38:37,620 --> 00:38:40,140
The global economy will massively suffer.

1104
00:38:40,740 --> 00:38:43,700
Uncertainty will spiral and trigger the rise of

1105
00:38:43,700 --> 00:38:44,840
further protectionism.

1106
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,920
The costs of doing business with the United

1107
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,260
States will drastically increase.

1108
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,980
And what is more, there seems to be

1109
00:38:52,980 --> 00:38:55,240
no order in the disorder.

1110
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,500
Among Trump's announcements, a 20 percent tariff on

1111
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:00,960
all goods imported from the European Union.

1112
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,680
I strongly believe that tariffs benefit no one.

1113
00:39:04,780 --> 00:39:05,940
They're bad for the world economy.

1114
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,280
They hurt people.

1115
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,580
They hurt businesses.

1116
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,040
The shockwaves of Trump's aggressivity rippled through global

1117
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,840
Aggressivity is aggressivity.

1118
00:39:13,940 --> 00:39:15,080
This is a new term.

1119
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,500
Aggressively, I think, is what she tried to

1120
00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:18,760
say.

1121
00:39:18,820 --> 00:39:19,800
Oh, look, bad for the world economy.

1122
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:21,340
They hurt people.

1123
00:39:21,660 --> 00:39:22,660
They hurt businesses.

1124
00:39:23,060 --> 00:39:25,520
The shockwaves of Trump's aggressivity rippled.

1125
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:26,960
No, she says aggressivity.

1126
00:39:27,700 --> 00:39:30,620
Yeah, but I think she meant aggressive.

1127
00:39:31,300 --> 00:39:32,280
Aggressivity, I guess.

1128
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,980
Aggressiveness is the word I think she really

1129
00:39:35,980 --> 00:39:36,780
meant to say.

1130
00:39:36,820 --> 00:39:38,500
Do they have no line producers there?

1131
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:39,680
Aggressivity.

1132
00:39:39,940 --> 00:39:40,380
Aggressivity.

1133
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:41,040
Businesses.

1134
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,360
The shockwaves of Trump's aggressivity rippled through global

1135
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:44,860
economies.

1136
00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:48,420
China's finance ministry spokesperson spoke of his outrage,

1137
00:39:48,620 --> 00:39:50,160
saying it was not in line with trade

1138
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,340
rules and called it unilateral bullying.

1139
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,140
Whilst Mexico and Canada might have been exempt

1140
00:39:55,140 --> 00:39:57,200
from this round of Trump's trade war, the

1141
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,300
countries are still reeling from the steel and

1142
00:39:59,300 --> 00:40:01,280
aluminum tariffs imposed in March.

1143
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,300
Another 25 percent tariffs on cars kicked in

1144
00:40:04,300 --> 00:40:04,880
on Thursday.

1145
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,060
The series of measures will directly affect millions

1146
00:40:08,060 --> 00:40:09,040
of Canadians.

1147
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,920
We are going to fight these tariffs with

1148
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:11,460
countermeasures.

1149
00:40:11,940 --> 00:40:14,740
We are going to protect our workers and

1150
00:40:14,740 --> 00:40:17,420
we are going to build the strongest economy.

1151
00:40:17,860 --> 00:40:20,420
As the world prepares their response, many are

1152
00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:23,080
bracing for the devastating impact that this trade

1153
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,340
war will have on consumers worldwide.

1154
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:25,920
It's a war.

1155
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,300
It's a World War three and a very

1156
00:40:27,300 --> 00:40:31,360
different noise there from Mark Carney versus Tom

1157
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:31,740
Ford.

1158
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,380
I found that to be rather surprising.

1159
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:36,660
There's no unity there, but we need to

1160
00:40:36,660 --> 00:40:38,420
check a few more people, including our many

1161
00:40:38,420 --> 00:40:43,400
photos from Epstein Island, including our buddy from

1162
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:44,000
Australia.

1163
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,820
It's a watershed moment for global trade.

1164
00:40:47,220 --> 00:40:50,840
US President Donald Trump announced universal 10 percent

1165
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,320
tariffs on all imports into the US.

1166
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,380
For some countries, this could be as high

1167
00:40:55,380 --> 00:40:56,380
as 50 percent.

1168
00:40:56,620 --> 00:40:58,380
As the world begins to wake up to

1169
00:40:58,380 --> 00:41:01,120
the news of these staggering tariffs, Australian Prime

1170
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,080
Minister Antony Albanese said it was totally unwarranted.

1171
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,700
The administration's tariffs have no basis in logic

1172
00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:09,980
and they go against the basis of our

1173
00:41:09,980 --> 00:41:11,180
two nations partnership.

1174
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,260
This is not the act of a friend.

1175
00:41:14,380 --> 00:41:17,000
Today's decision will lead to uncertainty in the

1176
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:17,660
global economy.

1177
00:41:17,660 --> 00:41:18,560
Come on, man.

1178
00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:19,920
I spent time on that.

1179
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:21,880
Good work.

1180
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,540
I'm glad you I'm glad you preannounced it.

1181
00:41:24,940 --> 00:41:26,380
About two nations partnership.

1182
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,460
This is not the act of a friend.

1183
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,220
Today's decision will add to uncertainty in the

1184
00:41:32,220 --> 00:41:33,000
global economy.

1185
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,720
On the other side of the Atlantic, the

1186
00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:37,020
EU is one of the US's closest allies

1187
00:41:37,020 --> 00:41:37,660
and partners.

1188
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,680
The bloc was hit with a 20 percent

1189
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:40,960
tariff on all imports.

1190
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:43,720
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney was the first

1191
00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:45,560
EU leader to respond to the news.

1192
00:41:45,780 --> 00:41:47,720
In a statement on Facebook, she said the

1193
00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:50,520
introduction of tariffs towards the European Union by

1194
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,580
the USA is a measure that I consider

1195
00:41:52,580 --> 00:41:54,800
wrong and that does not suit any party.

1196
00:41:55,020 --> 00:41:56,560
We will do everything we can to work

1197
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,380
a deal with the United States aiming to

1198
00:41:58,380 --> 00:42:01,100
prevent a trade war that would inevitably weaken

1199
00:42:01,100 --> 00:42:03,180
the West in favor of other global actors.

1200
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,320
For many economists and political pundits, these sweeping

1201
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,040
tariffs will have a negative impact.

1202
00:42:08,260 --> 00:42:10,600
The stock market was already rattled after Trump's

1203
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:11,020
announcement.

1204
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,380
Others say they threaten to push much of

1205
00:42:13,380 --> 00:42:15,280
the world into an economic recession.

1206
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,000
If the EU and other countries retaliate, the

1207
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,420
loss to the global economy will be one

1208
00:42:20,420 --> 00:42:22,160
point four trillion.

1209
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:23,800
That is trillion with a T.

1210
00:42:23,980 --> 00:42:25,840
This, by the way, some professor who looks

1211
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,380
like Jeff Jarvis dollars.

1212
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:29,480
This is one of the most, in addition

1213
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,260
to being economically illiterate speeches, it is accompanied

1214
00:42:32,260 --> 00:42:35,460
by the most economically damaging actions that have

1215
00:42:35,460 --> 00:42:37,980
been taken since the last round of high

1216
00:42:37,980 --> 00:42:40,560
tariffs, which was in the 1930s, which helped

1217
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:41,660
lead to the Great Depression.

1218
00:42:41,860 --> 00:42:44,920
But Trump called it Liberation Day, promising these

1219
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,060
measures will pay off for the US.

1220
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,680
You know, yeah, I have to play this

1221
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:50,860
guy.

1222
00:42:50,940 --> 00:42:52,080
This is another economist.

1223
00:42:52,220 --> 00:42:53,840
This guy was in the.

1224
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,200
Mainly because they keep bringing up smooth hauling,

1225
00:42:57,240 --> 00:42:58,920
and I think Horowitz brought it up to

1226
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,960
me, too, but I just want to smooth

1227
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,780
hauling who smooth hauling was that was the

1228
00:43:03,780 --> 00:43:07,500
extra tariffs they added right after the stock

1229
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:08,520
market collapsed.

1230
00:43:09,940 --> 00:43:10,600
In 2020.

1231
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:13,920
In 1929.

1232
00:43:14,340 --> 00:43:14,880
Oh, OK.

1233
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:15,280
Yes.

1234
00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:16,160
OK, that's it.

1235
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,560
So they were tariffing at the time and

1236
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,660
then the stock market collapsed in around 1930,

1237
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:24,140
31 period.

1238
00:43:24,140 --> 00:43:27,100
They introduced a smooth hauling, which added more

1239
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:29,160
tariffs on top of the tariffs you already

1240
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:29,600
had.

1241
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:30,020
Right.

1242
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:31,060
And it collapsed.

1243
00:43:31,340 --> 00:43:33,840
They think it may have contributed to the

1244
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,300
continued collapse of the economy in the 30s.

1245
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,800
Well, the way the way the way the

1246
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,720
way I keep hearing it is when we

1247
00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:42,200
put tariffs on in 1929, it caused the

1248
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:42,760
Great Depression.

1249
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:43,780
That's what I keep hearing.

1250
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,120
Yeah, it's that and that this clip clarifies

1251
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:47,360
that.

1252
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,820
No, that the smooth hauling came in after

1253
00:43:49,820 --> 00:43:50,460
the crash.

1254
00:43:51,220 --> 00:43:54,080
OK, but they still can say because it

1255
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,220
was before 1933, which was the bottom of

1256
00:43:56,220 --> 00:43:57,920
the crash, they can still say cause the,

1257
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,620
you know, all right.

1258
00:43:59,700 --> 00:44:01,400
But the funny thing was the one little

1259
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,580
element that I didn't realize until I heard

1260
00:44:03,580 --> 00:44:04,360
this guy talk.

1261
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,880
This is a guy named Joe LaVagna.

1262
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,740
It's under the Joe's the clip we're talking

1263
00:44:10,740 --> 00:44:11,000
about.

1264
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,380
Yeah, this guy was a council of economic

1265
00:44:14,380 --> 00:44:14,920
advisors.

1266
00:44:14,940 --> 00:44:16,560
Guy, very smart guy.

1267
00:44:16,740 --> 00:44:18,600
Typical of the other side of the argument

1268
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,260
guy that nobody else seems to be wanting

1269
00:44:20,260 --> 00:44:21,040
to put on.

1270
00:44:21,140 --> 00:44:23,840
So Charles Payne did on his show on

1271
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,240
Fox Business.

1272
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,380
Now, the thing that he noted, and it

1273
00:44:29,380 --> 00:44:31,420
was kind of stepped on by pain in

1274
00:44:31,420 --> 00:44:35,200
this because he likes to chat, but is

1275
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,440
that smooth hauling when it was additional tariffs

1276
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,900
caused deflation, not inflation.

1277
00:44:42,540 --> 00:44:43,080
How interesting.

1278
00:44:43,540 --> 00:44:45,780
And during the Great Depression, it was a

1279
00:44:45,780 --> 00:44:47,200
deflationary period.

1280
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,680
It didn't cause inflation.

1281
00:44:48,780 --> 00:44:50,120
It caused just the opposite.

1282
00:44:50,540 --> 00:44:53,400
So the argument about about this causing inflation

1283
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:54,200
is nonsense.

1284
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,380
And this guy makes the point of the

1285
00:44:56,380 --> 00:44:57,000
reason why.

1286
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,420
And if and I will just summarize in

1287
00:44:59,420 --> 00:45:02,680
advance, people are always all they're all big

1288
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,820
shots about, you know, Mises.

1289
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,600
And they're all, well, you know, there's all

1290
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,660
these all these theories about supply side economics

1291
00:45:10,660 --> 00:45:12,680
and Milton Friedman and all the rest of

1292
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:12,980
it.

1293
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,360
And Friedman himself has talked about this to

1294
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:17,080
an extreme.

1295
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,320
Inflation's always caused by the money supply, period.

1296
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:22,140
Thank you.

1297
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,440
We're how much of this do you think

1298
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,040
will be absorbed in margins of corporations, adorbs

1299
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,240
on a retail and wholesale level, as opposed

1300
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:32,160
to just directly passed on to the consumer?

1301
00:45:33,060 --> 00:45:35,140
A lot will be absorbed in the margin,

1302
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:37,220
which is probably for some companies bad for

1303
00:45:37,220 --> 00:45:38,800
their stock back in.

1304
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,960
It's a smaller subset, of course, back in

1305
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:41,640
18, 19.

1306
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,120
But most of it was absorbed in the

1307
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:44,460
margin.

1308
00:45:44,980 --> 00:45:46,160
None of it was paid by the U

1309
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,620
.S. buyer, although that could change in the

1310
00:45:48,620 --> 00:45:49,380
next go around.

1311
00:45:49,380 --> 00:45:51,380
But, you know, Charles, I'm looking at this

1312
00:45:51,380 --> 00:45:51,720
chart.

1313
00:45:52,020 --> 00:45:53,920
The one I'd add another row because I

1314
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,040
see CPI increases and this concept that these

1315
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,280
tariffs are inflationary.

1316
00:45:58,580 --> 00:45:59,660
That's a misnomer.

1317
00:46:00,260 --> 00:46:02,760
Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon

1318
00:46:03,260 --> 00:46:05,160
or monetary and credit phenomenon.

1319
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:07,160
It's a price level adjustment.

1320
00:46:07,460 --> 00:46:09,300
Ultimately, that'll be offset elsewhere if the Fed

1321
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:10,840
doesn't increase the money supply.

1322
00:46:11,260 --> 00:46:13,060
And this notion somehow that we're going to

1323
00:46:13,060 --> 00:46:15,900
have high inflation because of tariffs just is

1324
00:46:15,900 --> 00:46:17,100
not accurate.

1325
00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:18,640
I mean, and to your point, I mean,

1326
00:46:18,700 --> 00:46:21,420
even Smoot-Hawley, the 1930s, we had the

1327
00:46:21,420 --> 00:46:25,480
greatest deflationary period in history, not inflationary, deflationary

1328
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:25,940
in history.

1329
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,500
I was arguing with someone on another show

1330
00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:30,760
recently about that.

1331
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,160
And if you look back in the 20s,

1332
00:46:32,180 --> 00:46:34,480
the U.S. was like China is today.

1333
00:46:34,660 --> 00:46:37,220
We were a massive exporter of goods and

1334
00:46:37,220 --> 00:46:38,780
we had big trade surpluses.

1335
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,940
So when the Fed let a lot of

1336
00:46:40,940 --> 00:46:43,060
banks fail and the money supply collapsed back

1337
00:46:43,060 --> 00:46:46,220
in the late 20s, we were a big

1338
00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:47,040
exporter of goods.

1339
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:48,720
So when Smoot-Hawley went in, we actually

1340
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:49,420
hurt ourselves.

1341
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,280
It's the exact opposite today.

1342
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,080
Yeah, the exact opposite.

1343
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,080
Well, I mean, what you're seeing is the

1344
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,200
refi mission is on track.

1345
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,560
The 10 year is almost at four percent.

1346
00:47:01,540 --> 00:47:03,860
The dollar has weakened, which is what you

1347
00:47:03,860 --> 00:47:05,040
want for exports.

1348
00:47:06,020 --> 00:47:08,500
And I see here on CNBC, President Trump

1349
00:47:08,500 --> 00:47:10,560
says tariff rollout going very well.

1350
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,900
This is going very well.

1351
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:14,260
Markets will boom.

1352
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,280
There was another little tidbit in there that

1353
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,920
I thought was interesting, which I think accounts

1354
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,300
for the market, the stock market collapsing.

1355
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,800
Well, because the money is leaving America.

1356
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,720
This is why people like Horowitz are pissed.

1357
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:28,900
No, no, no.

1358
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,240
The reason it was collapsing, if you listen

1359
00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:33,000
to that in that within that clip, he

1360
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,020
said that most of the with tariffs, most

1361
00:47:36,020 --> 00:47:39,300
of it is taken up by most of

1362
00:47:39,300 --> 00:47:41,400
it's made up for by the companies themselves

1363
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,420
and they're shrinking margins.

1364
00:47:43,820 --> 00:47:43,940
Yeah.

1365
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:45,820
Oh, which hurts their stock.

1366
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:46,760
In other words.

1367
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:47,400
Yes.

1368
00:47:48,020 --> 00:47:51,100
So you're you're making you like Apple, for

1369
00:47:51,100 --> 00:47:53,480
example, has tremendous margins.

1370
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:56,080
And so they could actually keep the prices

1371
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,220
the same, but they'd have to cut their

1372
00:47:58,220 --> 00:48:00,220
margin to an extreme, which would hurt the

1373
00:48:00,220 --> 00:48:00,920
stock price.

1374
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,580
Your PD ratio goes down.

1375
00:48:02,660 --> 00:48:04,760
So the market right now is not collapsing

1376
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,060
because money's leaving the country, but it's because

1377
00:48:07,060 --> 00:48:10,120
they're they're adjusting for the future because the

1378
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:11,620
markets are saying, well, this is not going

1379
00:48:11,620 --> 00:48:12,140
to be good for the.

1380
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,380
So we have to, you know, our our

1381
00:48:14,380 --> 00:48:16,260
stocks are going to be worth that much

1382
00:48:16,260 --> 00:48:18,880
more because good point makers, but the profits

1383
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:19,960
are going to be what it was.

1384
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,920
So so what the naysayers would say is

1385
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,060
and I'm obviously not the expert here.

1386
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:27,720
You are much more versed in this.

1387
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,620
The naysayers will say, well, they're all just

1388
00:48:29,620 --> 00:48:33,680
going to jack the prices up, which is

1389
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,360
what they keep saying, but it doesn't seem

1390
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:35,720
likely.

1391
00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:38,620
It's like certainly companies like Apple can take

1392
00:48:38,620 --> 00:48:39,540
a little bit of a hit.

1393
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:41,380
They can take a huge hit.

1394
00:48:41,700 --> 00:48:44,020
And the the prices don't need to get

1395
00:48:44,020 --> 00:48:46,720
jacked up and people will stop buying.

1396
00:48:46,780 --> 00:48:49,140
And if you don't buy, you know, you're

1397
00:48:49,140 --> 00:48:50,580
not going to sell anything, obviously.

1398
00:48:50,740 --> 00:48:51,640
Well, it's too high.

1399
00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:52,820
I'm not going to pay for that.

1400
00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:54,800
Also, I'll wait.

1401
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,760
I mean, just because something's on the market

1402
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,320
and it doesn't mean you have to buy

1403
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:02,700
it if it goes up in price.

1404
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:03,140
Right.

1405
00:49:03,980 --> 00:49:04,400
Right.

1406
00:49:06,020 --> 00:49:08,340
So I have a couple of clips here

1407
00:49:08,340 --> 00:49:09,740
from Scott Besant.

1408
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,700
Again, from Bloomberg, and everybody was doing the

1409
00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:14,000
rounds.

1410
00:49:14,180 --> 00:49:15,800
Everybody was doing the rounds.

1411
00:49:16,140 --> 00:49:19,000
So I'll skip the intro and go straight

1412
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,240
to the negotiations question.

1413
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:22,840
We're going to have the baseline tariffs come

1414
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:23,720
into effect first.

1415
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,360
First, then the reciprocal tariffs, a little bit

1416
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,000
more of a different rate for each individual

1417
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:28,860
trading partner.

1418
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:31,720
Are you preparing to negotiate with some of

1419
00:49:31,720 --> 00:49:34,220
these trading partners before that tariff rate comes

1420
00:49:34,220 --> 00:49:35,380
into effect on April 9th?

1421
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:36,540
Well, I think there have been a lot

1422
00:49:36,540 --> 00:49:38,340
of discussions, but I think we're just going

1423
00:49:38,340 --> 00:49:39,720
to have to wait and see what would

1424
00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:39,980
happen.

1425
00:49:40,140 --> 00:49:42,320
What I would say, Anne-Marie, is I

1426
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,040
would advise none of the countries to panic.

1427
00:49:45,540 --> 00:49:49,660
I wouldn't try to retaliate because as long

1428
00:49:49,660 --> 00:49:52,100
as you don't retaliate, this is the high

1429
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:52,840
end of the number.

1430
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,600
And I think the market could have certainty

1431
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,260
that this is the number barring retaliation.

1432
00:49:59,260 --> 00:50:02,120
And so we've got a ceiling and then

1433
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,380
we can see if there's a different floor.

1434
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,040
I also think doing this half the rate

1435
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,120
is really genius because it's much easier to

1436
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:12,580
ratchet it up to parody.

1437
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,480
You know, and Trump made this whole this

1438
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,100
thing about we're nice people.

1439
00:50:17,100 --> 00:50:18,000
We're nice people.

1440
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,220
So we're not going to hit you that

1441
00:50:19,220 --> 00:50:19,540
hard.

1442
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:20,820
We're only going to hit you with half.

1443
00:50:22,020 --> 00:50:23,840
I mean, this is, as Besant will tell

1444
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,700
you here, this is the art of the

1445
00:50:25,700 --> 00:50:25,980
deal.

1446
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,560
So you sound like you're ready for negotiation

1447
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:29,520
with a number of these partners.

1448
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,780
Has the European Union, has China, has India,

1449
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,280
have these countries reached out?

1450
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:36,600
Well, they've all reached out, but it's going

1451
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,120
to be up to President Trump to see

1452
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,460
what he wants to do.

1453
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,300
I think the mindset might be to let

1454
00:50:42,300 --> 00:50:43,800
things settle for a while.

1455
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,380
Their tariffs or non-tariff barriers have been

1456
00:50:47,380 --> 00:50:49,260
on a long time, so we'll see where

1457
00:50:49,260 --> 00:50:50,040
it goes from here.

1458
00:50:50,240 --> 00:50:52,040
When it comes to China, they have a

1459
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,940
much higher rate on this list.

1460
00:50:54,260 --> 00:50:56,000
On top of that, there's still that 20

1461
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,680
percent fentanyl tariff rate.

1462
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,840
Is all of this coming together to be

1463
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:01,720
more than a 50 percent tariff rate for

1464
00:51:01,720 --> 00:51:02,120
Beijing?

1465
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,860
Well, yes, I think it is.

1466
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:06,620
And I think it's a combination of things.

1467
00:51:07,220 --> 00:51:09,860
And, you know, again, that I think China

1468
00:51:09,860 --> 00:51:13,640
said today that solving the fentanyl crisis depends

1469
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,620
on taking off the fentanyl tariffs.

1470
00:51:15,780 --> 00:51:18,000
And I'm pretty sure that's not the way

1471
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,440
the sequencing is going to work.

1472
00:51:19,660 --> 00:51:22,060
They're exporting the precursor chemicals.

1473
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,840
And every every day, every week, every month,

1474
00:51:25,860 --> 00:51:26,800
Americans are dying.

1475
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:27,840
And it's going to have to stop.

1476
00:51:28,860 --> 00:51:30,600
So then he throws in, because, of course,

1477
00:51:30,660 --> 00:51:32,780
the market is something Bloomberg wants to talk

1478
00:51:32,780 --> 00:51:34,740
about, he throws in a nice little term

1479
00:51:34,740 --> 00:51:36,380
here that made me smile.

1480
00:51:36,860 --> 00:51:40,660
OK, but since the peaks in February, stocks

1481
00:51:40,660 --> 00:51:41,900
are down eight percent.

1482
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,740
I think the Nasdaq from its high most

1483
00:51:43,740 --> 00:51:45,300
recently is down 12 percent.

1484
00:51:45,580 --> 00:51:48,900
So far, though, these kind of this kind

1485
00:51:48,900 --> 00:51:52,040
of market downdraft so far this year is

1486
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:52,860
not concerning you.

1487
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,680
Well, look, in my old business, I was

1488
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,640
very concerned about market movements.

1489
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,540
And I'm trying to be a secretary of

1490
00:51:59,540 --> 00:52:01,160
Treasury, not a market commentator.

1491
00:52:01,260 --> 00:52:03,900
What I would point out is that especially

1492
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:07,860
the Nasdaq, Nasdaq peaked on deep seek day

1493
00:52:07,860 --> 00:52:10,760
that so that's a mag seven problem, not

1494
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:11,580
a MAGA problem.

1495
00:52:11,900 --> 00:52:13,340
No, yeah.

1496
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,160
Peaked on deep seek mag seven problem, not

1497
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:18,180
a MAGA problem.

1498
00:52:18,620 --> 00:52:19,400
Oh, yes.

1499
00:52:19,500 --> 00:52:19,920
Bye bye.

1500
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:24,060
Now, the other side of this is critical

1501
00:52:24,060 --> 00:52:25,520
for it all to work.

1502
00:52:25,620 --> 00:52:27,140
And the president made that clear in his

1503
00:52:27,140 --> 00:52:27,900
rose garden.

1504
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,120
Hold up the sign speech.

1505
00:52:29,580 --> 00:52:33,240
The tax cuts are necessary to keep real

1506
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:34,420
wages up.

1507
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,400
And that's the big one here.

1508
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,240
OK, so let's talk about what else you've

1509
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:42,140
been spending a lot of your time doing.

1510
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,600
You have been up on Capitol Hill constantly.

1511
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,040
You are really working on trying to make

1512
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,140
sure that this administration can extend the Tax

1513
00:52:50,140 --> 00:52:51,120
Cuts and Jobs Act.

1514
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,780
On top of that, more tax cuts.

1515
00:52:54,100 --> 00:52:56,380
Right now, how are the conversations going in

1516
00:52:56,380 --> 00:52:56,680
Congress?

1517
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,440
Well, I actually think the most underreported story

1518
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,080
in Washington, not by Bloomberg, of course, is

1519
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:07,200
the incredible unanimity, unity amongst.

1520
00:53:07,660 --> 00:53:09,600
He's having problems talking today.

1521
00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:11,520
He's got bird feathers in his throat, I

1522
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:11,660
think.

1523
00:53:12,460 --> 00:53:14,520
Well, what's he giving the business to Bloomberg

1524
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:15,060
for?

1525
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,940
Says everyone's talking about this, not Bloomberg.

1526
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,720
Yeah, well, I think he's just being show

1527
00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:22,080
busy.

1528
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:23,720
You know, it's what you do.

1529
00:53:23,780 --> 00:53:25,600
It's like, oh, you know, Joe, only people

1530
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,280
on your show talk the truth.

1531
00:53:29,420 --> 00:53:32,080
Unanimity, unity amongst Republicans.

1532
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,460
And I think it's President Trump's leadership.

1533
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,140
But Mike Johnson, with a very narrow margin,

1534
00:53:38,420 --> 00:53:42,060
issued the reconciliation instructions.

1535
00:53:42,660 --> 00:53:47,220
And then he also passed a clean, continuing

1536
00:53:47,220 --> 00:53:50,180
resolution on the Senate side.

1537
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,380
They are very attentive.

1538
00:53:52,740 --> 00:53:54,520
And I think they may have something done

1539
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:55,300
by this Saturday.

1540
00:53:55,900 --> 00:53:58,420
Oh, do you imagine that?

1541
00:53:59,270 --> 00:54:00,400
By this Saturday?

1542
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:01,640
No way.

1543
00:54:02,220 --> 00:54:03,300
Well, that's what he said.

1544
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:04,200
That's what he said.

1545
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,140
Final clip here is about the consumers.

1546
00:54:08,140 --> 00:54:09,720
Well, all this is happening.

1547
00:54:10,020 --> 00:54:12,520
Consumer sentiment has definitely taken a bit of

1548
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:12,940
a dive.

1549
00:54:13,420 --> 00:54:15,120
Expectations for inflation have gone up.

1550
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,400
Banks like Goldman are cutting their GDP forecast,

1551
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,120
saying potentially the Fed is going to have

1552
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,120
to cut rates, not the good kind of

1553
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:23,740
cuts, the kind of cuts because they're nervous

1554
00:54:23,740 --> 00:54:24,580
about growth.

1555
00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:28,240
How concerned are you that the timing of

1556
00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:30,140
all this is going to be incredibly challenging?

1557
00:54:31,100 --> 00:54:32,440
I was waiting for you.

1558
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:32,900
Where were you?

1559
00:54:32,900 --> 00:54:35,580
She said not the good kind of cuts.

1560
00:54:35,700 --> 00:54:35,920
No.

1561
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,760
What is she talking about?

1562
00:54:38,980 --> 00:54:41,060
She's trying to slip in, I think, tax

1563
00:54:41,060 --> 00:54:43,840
cuts for the rich, which is the narrative

1564
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,500
that has just been drummed into everybody's head.

1565
00:54:47,620 --> 00:54:49,060
But no, it's not.

1566
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,860
In fact, the rich are disadvantaged by this

1567
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:52,360
whole deal.

1568
00:54:52,900 --> 00:54:54,620
If you've got a lot of stocks and

1569
00:54:54,620 --> 00:54:57,800
bonds, it's at a disadvantage to the rich.

1570
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,080
Not only that, but if you remember the

1571
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,240
first go around back in Trump's first term,

1572
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:06,060
we had our our our gay accountant guy.

1573
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:06,500
Yeah.

1574
00:55:07,260 --> 00:55:09,960
Who is the anonymous handles the big, big

1575
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:10,340
money.

1576
00:55:10,540 --> 00:55:10,640
Yeah.

1577
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:11,300
The anonymous guy.

1578
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:12,080
Yeah.

1579
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,400
Anonymous way beneath his his way beneath us.

1580
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:20,180
But he deigns to give us information every

1581
00:55:20,180 --> 00:55:24,220
so often was telling us how that that

1582
00:55:24,220 --> 00:55:27,080
all his rich clients, which is he's loaded

1583
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,600
with them, were bitching and moaning about where's

1584
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,200
my tax cut for the rich?

1585
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,840
Because it was it did not exist.

1586
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,820
In fact, they were getting screwed because they

1587
00:55:35,820 --> 00:55:39,280
weren't letting him take off enough interest from

1588
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:40,020
their taxes.

1589
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:41,240
They've changed that rule.

1590
00:55:41,380 --> 00:55:43,120
And that was didn't that went kind of

1591
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,320
undiscussed by the mainstream media.

1592
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,000
So this bull crap, this and the fact

1593
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,340
that they keep harping, the Democrats keep harping

1594
00:55:50,340 --> 00:55:52,840
on this tax cuts for the rich nonsense.

1595
00:55:53,540 --> 00:55:54,440
It's an embarrassment.

1596
00:55:55,380 --> 00:55:57,660
It really is, because it's just I mean,

1597
00:55:57,660 --> 00:56:00,000
it still works within the media circles because

1598
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,640
you hear her kind of falling for it.

1599
00:56:02,220 --> 00:56:05,520
But the tax cuts will be no tax

1600
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:06,480
on Social Security.

1601
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,360
So Social Security checks will it should in

1602
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:10,760
actuality go up.

1603
00:56:11,860 --> 00:56:12,420
No tax.

1604
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,860
No, the Social Security checks will not go

1605
00:56:14,860 --> 00:56:15,260
up.

1606
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,980
If if but they're taxed, aren't they?

1607
00:56:18,620 --> 00:56:19,900
No, they're not taxed.

1608
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,400
You do have to put them up.

1609
00:56:21,740 --> 00:56:23,820
You get your Social Security at the end

1610
00:56:23,820 --> 00:56:24,200
of the year.

1611
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:25,520
You get a ten ninety nine.

1612
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:27,100
You better put it on your taxes.

1613
00:56:27,260 --> 00:56:27,660
I'm sorry.

1614
00:56:27,820 --> 00:56:28,100
Yes.

1615
00:56:28,100 --> 00:56:30,100
OK, so the checks won't go up, but

1616
00:56:30,100 --> 00:56:32,240
effectively the money goes up.

1617
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:33,900
No taxes on tips.

1618
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,540
Interest deduction on your car loan, if it's

1619
00:56:39,540 --> 00:56:40,680
an American made car.

1620
00:56:41,740 --> 00:56:45,160
And and salt becomes deductible again or unlimited.

1621
00:56:47,570 --> 00:56:48,190
Dude.

1622
00:56:49,410 --> 00:56:51,970
That that would make a difference and that

1623
00:56:51,970 --> 00:56:54,330
would make a difference to to billionaires, too,

1624
00:56:54,510 --> 00:56:55,010
obviously.

1625
00:56:55,450 --> 00:56:56,530
And let's finish this off.

1626
00:56:56,530 --> 00:56:58,950
The cut rates, not the good kind of

1627
00:56:58,950 --> 00:57:00,630
cuts, the kind of cuts because they're nervous

1628
00:57:00,630 --> 00:57:01,430
about growth.

1629
00:57:02,650 --> 00:57:05,090
How concerned are you that the timing of

1630
00:57:05,090 --> 00:57:07,170
all this is going to be incredibly challenging

1631
00:57:07,170 --> 00:57:11,610
because of how the American consumer, how corporate

1632
00:57:11,610 --> 00:57:13,270
America is feeling at this moment?

1633
00:57:13,510 --> 00:57:14,690
Well, it tells me a couple of things.

1634
00:57:14,850 --> 00:57:16,190
One, we got to get the tax bill

1635
00:57:16,190 --> 00:57:16,850
done quickly.

1636
00:57:17,470 --> 00:57:19,450
So because that's a confidence builder.

1637
00:57:19,990 --> 00:57:23,630
And two, we're seeing sentiment surveys from the

1638
00:57:23,630 --> 00:57:25,910
American people, but we haven't actually seen them

1639
00:57:25,910 --> 00:57:26,570
take action.

1640
00:57:27,270 --> 00:57:29,870
If the households actually thought that they were

1641
00:57:29,870 --> 00:57:32,850
going to be employed, if their real inflation

1642
00:57:32,850 --> 00:57:35,550
expectations had increased, what would they be doing?

1643
00:57:35,810 --> 00:57:38,570
They'd be hoarding goods and they would be

1644
00:57:38,570 --> 00:57:39,770
demanding wage increases.

1645
00:57:39,990 --> 00:57:41,510
And neither one of those has happened yet.

1646
00:57:41,850 --> 00:57:43,550
So at the moment, you're not concerned about

1647
00:57:43,550 --> 00:57:44,990
some of the soft data we're seeing?

1648
00:57:45,370 --> 00:57:47,050
No, I see nothing.

1649
00:57:47,290 --> 00:57:50,130
And one of the great things, many great

1650
00:57:50,130 --> 00:57:52,070
things about being a treasury is we have

1651
00:57:52,070 --> 00:57:53,910
lots of business people come through.

1652
00:57:54,330 --> 00:57:57,950
And everything we're seeing in the economy is

1653
00:57:57,950 --> 00:57:58,970
still very solid.

1654
00:57:59,470 --> 00:58:01,910
And executives haven't voiced any of these concerns

1655
00:58:01,910 --> 00:58:02,450
on to you.

1656
00:58:02,950 --> 00:58:05,670
No, there's there's some idiosyncratic things.

1657
00:58:06,210 --> 00:58:10,630
But in terms of the expectations actually turning

1658
00:58:10,630 --> 00:58:12,650
into hard data, none of them have seen

1659
00:58:12,650 --> 00:58:12,970
it yet.

1660
00:58:13,310 --> 00:58:15,010
So nobody really knows anything.

1661
00:58:16,330 --> 00:58:18,930
Everyone's just saying, oh, if all these things

1662
00:58:18,930 --> 00:58:19,970
come together, it'll work.

1663
00:58:20,230 --> 00:58:22,510
I have a sneaky suspicion it's really going

1664
00:58:22,510 --> 00:58:23,070
to work.

1665
00:58:24,330 --> 00:58:28,130
And it may start working sooner than people

1666
00:58:28,130 --> 00:58:28,590
think.

1667
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,900
But I don't think anybody really knows.

1668
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:34,780
It's certainly unprecedented.

1669
00:58:35,260 --> 00:58:36,960
He certainly is shaking things up.

1670
00:58:37,820 --> 00:58:40,160
Well, this seems overdue.

1671
00:58:40,660 --> 00:58:44,040
Yes, because we actually don't make anything except

1672
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:45,300
jets and bombs.

1673
00:58:45,500 --> 00:58:47,600
Well, and what I love is guys like

1674
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,860
our buddy there in North Carolina after the

1675
00:58:50,860 --> 00:58:53,640
after the storm, you know, he started Pearl

1676
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:54,480
Boot Company.

1677
00:58:55,100 --> 00:58:56,340
Nice looking boots.

1678
00:58:56,540 --> 00:58:57,220
Good price.

1679
00:58:57,420 --> 00:58:59,160
American made American leather.

1680
00:58:59,540 --> 00:59:01,560
You know, I think he's trying to resurrect

1681
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:02,500
the shoe company.

1682
00:59:03,780 --> 00:59:04,960
You know, Vietnam, huh?

1683
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,200
Say goodbye to your cheap Timu crap.

1684
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:09,780
That's over.

1685
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:11,920
And that's OK.

1686
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,340
I'm OK if we if we can't buy

1687
00:59:14,340 --> 00:59:16,020
cheap crap anymore, it's crap.

1688
00:59:16,740 --> 00:59:19,140
There's a lot of high quality products coming

1689
00:59:19,140 --> 00:59:19,740
out of Asia.

1690
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:20,920
That's the real problem.

1691
00:59:21,020 --> 00:59:21,940
You can call it crap.

1692
00:59:21,940 --> 00:59:22,640
Like what?

1693
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:23,600
Like what do you buy?

1694
00:59:23,940 --> 00:59:25,500
Nikon cameras are made in China.

1695
00:59:25,620 --> 00:59:26,960
This is one of the finest cameras you

1696
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:27,380
can buy.

1697
00:59:27,540 --> 00:59:28,800
Do you really need it?

1698
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:31,200
Well, I already have one.

1699
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:31,700
Exactly.

1700
00:59:31,980 --> 00:59:33,100
So next.

1701
00:59:33,700 --> 00:59:35,540
But but it's not cheap crap.

1702
00:59:35,660 --> 00:59:37,920
OK, but there's a lot of I agree.

1703
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,460
There's a lot of cheap crap that comes

1704
00:59:39,460 --> 00:59:39,640
out.

1705
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,500
It looks like it should be fine.

1706
00:59:41,540 --> 00:59:42,940
And then, you know, a couple of years

1707
00:59:42,940 --> 00:59:43,760
later, it breaks.

1708
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,560
How about unnecessary crap?

1709
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,480
We don't need all the crap, whether it's

1710
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:49,080
cheap or not.

1711
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:50,640
No, the reason we have all this crap

1712
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:51,500
is because it's cheap.

1713
00:59:51,940 --> 00:59:52,360
Exactly.

1714
00:59:52,860 --> 00:59:54,080
The Chinese have done that.

1715
00:59:54,260 --> 00:59:57,500
They have this part of their philosophy and

1716
00:59:57,500 --> 00:59:59,200
which has always been kind of interesting to

1717
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,760
me, is that they just go into a

1718
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,280
market and make it a product cheap to

1719
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,180
the point where nobody can compete because they

1720
01:00:06,180 --> 01:00:07,760
got subsidies and they got all kinds of

1721
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:08,960
they get cheating ways.

1722
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,620
They steal intellectual property, which is Trump complained

1723
01:00:11,620 --> 01:00:11,940
about.

1724
01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:13,720
And they make a cheap product.

1725
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,660
And then they then they take over the

1726
01:00:15,660 --> 01:00:16,460
market completely.

1727
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,720
Nobody wants to even bother competing with them.

1728
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:22,100
And they never go into monopoly.

1729
01:00:22,420 --> 01:00:25,000
They never go into the monopolistic mentality.

1730
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:26,980
They just keep it cheap.

1731
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:27,460
Yeah.

1732
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:31,920
It's like total alien to all Western civilization.

1733
01:00:32,300 --> 01:00:33,280
That's not what you do.

1734
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,700
What you're supposed to do is you wipe

1735
01:00:36,700 --> 01:00:37,900
out a market, take it.

1736
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:39,840
You now you own the market and now

1737
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:41,520
you gouge the customer.

1738
01:00:41,660 --> 01:00:42,580
That's what we do.

1739
01:00:42,740 --> 01:00:44,200
That's the that's America.

1740
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:48,300
Phone number one, Western, Western philosophies is British

1741
01:00:48,300 --> 01:00:49,760
is actually where it really comes from.

1742
01:00:51,500 --> 01:00:53,500
And and that's what you do, because that's

1743
01:00:53,500 --> 01:00:54,960
why that's why you go through the trouble

1744
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,200
of taking the market over.

1745
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:57,940
You go through a lot of effort to

1746
01:00:57,940 --> 01:00:59,280
get the market to yourself.

1747
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:00,980
And then once you get it to yourself,

1748
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:01,840
you gouge.

1749
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,340
The Chinese never go to the gouging phase.

1750
01:01:06,860 --> 01:01:08,340
I'll tell you, you know, I'm not in

1751
01:01:08,340 --> 01:01:09,220
the market for a car.

1752
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:10,820
I think I probably bought my last car.

1753
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,440
You know, it can last another 20 years

1754
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:12,880
easy.

1755
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:14,820
No, then I'll just need a golf cart.

1756
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:17,200
Well, one of those one of those Wal

1757
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:17,840
-Mart things.

1758
01:01:19,820 --> 01:01:21,120
But if I were in the market for

1759
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:22,160
a new car, I'd be looking at an

1760
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:22,720
American car.

1761
01:01:24,060 --> 01:01:24,760
Why not?

1762
01:01:24,940 --> 01:01:28,460
And this is in the past, presidents, you

1763
01:01:28,460 --> 01:01:31,340
know, Bush one and two and Clinton.

1764
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:33,100
I was like, buy America.

1765
01:01:33,140 --> 01:01:34,600
We're going to buy America to buy America,

1766
01:01:34,660 --> 01:01:36,440
act by and Obama, buy America.

1767
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,000
They they were there's right with this good

1768
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:39,800
union jobs.

1769
01:01:39,860 --> 01:01:41,460
He didn't do anything for the unions.

1770
01:01:41,460 --> 01:01:43,060
They're all on Trump's side now.

1771
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:44,020
Of course they are.

1772
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,020
But, you know, so what Trump did is

1773
01:01:47,020 --> 01:01:49,820
he actually did it instead of just making

1774
01:01:49,820 --> 01:01:50,960
a marketing campaign.

1775
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:52,060
Oh, we're going to buy America.

1776
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:52,900
Oh, goodbye.

1777
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:54,040
Put a flag on it.

1778
01:01:54,060 --> 01:01:54,760
It'll sell.

1779
01:01:56,220 --> 01:01:59,520
No, I'm looking forward to our ingenuity.

1780
01:02:00,740 --> 01:02:03,440
I'm looking forward to a lot of young

1781
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:08,140
people with high school diplomas skipping the indoctrination

1782
01:02:08,140 --> 01:02:13,440
factory and going into robotics, stuff like this.

1783
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:13,940
Welding.

1784
01:02:14,380 --> 01:02:16,200
Well, man, welding, welding.

1785
01:02:16,380 --> 01:02:18,300
You can make 90 bucks an hour welding.

1786
01:02:19,380 --> 01:02:19,980
Unbelievable.

1787
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,900
You know, and OK, so I don't know,

1788
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,380
I feel good about it.

1789
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:28,080
I do.

1790
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,120
And of course, we will we will never,

1791
01:02:31,140 --> 01:02:35,160
ever impose a tax on our friends for

1792
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,720
no agenda show donations, no tariffs.

1793
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:39,720
It's reciprocal.

1794
01:02:39,980 --> 01:02:40,900
We give you value.

1795
01:02:41,100 --> 01:02:42,560
You accept that without a tariff.

1796
01:02:42,620 --> 01:02:43,760
We receive value from you.

1797
01:02:43,820 --> 01:02:44,380
No tariff.

1798
01:02:45,500 --> 01:02:46,980
Because we're good people.

1799
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:48,120
We're nice people.

1800
01:02:49,140 --> 01:02:53,580
Now, the EU immediately tries to, oh, we'll

1801
01:02:53,580 --> 01:02:54,500
get him with this one.

1802
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:55,140
Check it out.

1803
01:02:55,220 --> 01:02:57,620
The European Union is sticking to its plans

1804
01:02:57,620 --> 01:03:00,380
to enforce new laws on social media platforms

1805
01:03:00,380 --> 01:03:02,440
like X, TikTok and Facebook.

1806
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,260
Despite pressure from the US in an interview

1807
01:03:05,260 --> 01:03:08,700
with Euronews, European Commission Executive Vice President Hanna

1808
01:03:08,700 --> 01:03:12,700
Varkunen, who oversees security and technology, explains that

1809
01:03:12,700 --> 01:03:16,060
these laws are vital to protecting democracy from

1810
01:03:16,060 --> 01:03:18,320
disinformation and market abuses.

1811
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:20,660
Our rules are very fair because they are

1812
01:03:20,660 --> 01:03:22,880
same rules for everybody who is operating and

1813
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,460
doing business in the European Union.

1814
01:03:24,580 --> 01:03:26,280
So we have same rules for the European

1815
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,000
companies, for American companies, for the Chinese companies.

1816
01:03:29,220 --> 01:03:32,680
The Digital Services Act, which addresses disinformation and

1817
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,120
the Digital Markets Act aimed at ensuring a

1818
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,180
fair digital economy have come under significant scrutiny

1819
01:03:38,180 --> 01:03:40,820
from Donald Trump's prominent advisor, Elon Musk.

1820
01:03:41,100 --> 01:03:45,060
The EU will not resile from implementing the

1821
01:03:45,060 --> 01:03:48,100
DSA and DMA where and when needed, despite

1822
01:03:48,100 --> 01:03:50,480
the confrontation with the United States.

1823
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,880
It's super important for us that we are

1824
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,200
fully enforcing DMA and DSA, because when it

1825
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:57,940
comes to DMA, then we want to make

1826
01:03:57,940 --> 01:04:01,160
sure that the big players, that they are

1827
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:02,920
not the dominant players.

1828
01:04:03,100 --> 01:04:06,040
They are not misusing their market power, that

1829
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,420
also new innovations can enter to the markets

1830
01:04:08,420 --> 01:04:09,360
in the European Union.

1831
01:04:09,620 --> 01:04:11,960
And DSA is very much for making sure

1832
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,960
that illegal content and products are taken down

1833
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,020
and we have safe and democratic, fair environment.

1834
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,020
Now, it's not up to me, of course,

1835
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:25,920
but it wouldn't be just fabulous if X

1836
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,980
and Facebook or X and Meta and even

1837
01:04:28,980 --> 01:04:31,200
Google just said, you know what, no more

1838
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:32,300
services for you.

1839
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,140
Go make your own social network, go do

1840
01:04:37,140 --> 01:04:38,060
your own search.

1841
01:04:39,660 --> 01:04:40,620
That would be so much.

1842
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:42,440
I can imagine what a disarray they would

1843
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:43,500
be in if that happened.

1844
01:04:44,780 --> 01:04:46,600
Well, you think they, you know, if they

1845
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,080
had the capabilities to do anything, they would

1846
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:50,020
have done it by now.

1847
01:04:51,460 --> 01:04:52,260
Oh, the Europeans?

1848
01:04:52,820 --> 01:04:53,180
Yeah.

1849
01:04:53,780 --> 01:04:55,620
No, they're kind of preannouncing they're going to

1850
01:04:55,620 --> 01:04:55,720
do.

1851
01:04:55,780 --> 01:04:56,700
They're going to they're going to do.

1852
01:04:56,700 --> 01:04:57,280
They're going to start.

1853
01:04:57,340 --> 01:04:58,400
They're not going to do anything.

1854
01:04:58,620 --> 01:04:59,500
They can't do anything.

1855
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:00,640
They haven't got what it takes.

1856
01:05:00,700 --> 01:05:02,860
All they can do is fines, fines, fines,

1857
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:03,300
fines.

1858
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,020
Oh, you you overstep the bounds.

1859
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:06,380
I'm just saying it would be fun to

1860
01:05:06,380 --> 01:05:06,940
cut them off.

1861
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:08,100
Just cut them off.

1862
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:10,960
Like, yeah, we're not that way.

1863
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,060
President Curry would shut him off.

1864
01:05:16,460 --> 01:05:19,140
And it turns out, turns out we are

1865
01:05:19,140 --> 01:05:21,720
pretty right about the true value of TikTok

1866
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:25,740
because it's really just a shop with a

1867
01:05:25,740 --> 01:05:29,020
social network around it, because who's the new

1868
01:05:29,020 --> 01:05:29,340
bidder?

1869
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:31,640
Amazon has submitted a bid to buy TikTok.

1870
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:33,800
Media reports say the offer to buy the

1871
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:35,400
social media app was made to the White

1872
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:35,700
House.

1873
01:05:36,140 --> 01:05:38,660
It comes just days before Saturday's deadline for

1874
01:05:38,660 --> 01:05:41,400
TikTok's owner, ByteDance, to divest itself of the

1875
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,160
app's U.S. operations.

1876
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,560
CNBC reports that mobile technology company Applovin has

1877
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:47,800
also made a bid for TikTok.

1878
01:05:47,900 --> 01:05:50,260
If there's no deal to buy TikTok before

1879
01:05:50,260 --> 01:05:53,140
the April 5th deadline, the app again faces

1880
01:05:53,140 --> 01:05:55,600
a potential shutdown of its U.S. operations,

1881
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,480
which would severely hurt the show.

1882
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:03,120
Obviously, well, it would hurt.

1883
01:06:03,260 --> 01:06:05,980
I don't think that you actually believe that.

1884
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:07,000
Believe what?

1885
01:06:07,460 --> 01:06:08,820
That it would hurt the show.

1886
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:09,600
I would.

1887
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,580
Well, I have a clip today that that

1888
01:06:12,580 --> 01:06:13,400
begs to differ.

1889
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:15,700
Oh, you have a TikTok?

1890
01:06:15,980 --> 01:06:16,820
I do.

1891
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:17,260
I do.

1892
01:06:17,340 --> 01:06:17,500
I have.

1893
01:06:17,500 --> 01:06:17,940
Well, I have.

1894
01:06:18,100 --> 01:06:19,600
First of all, I have to tick that

1895
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,200
when you just played, I have a kind

1896
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,100
of another summary just so we can do

1897
01:06:24,100 --> 01:06:24,620
the TikTok.

1898
01:06:26,220 --> 01:06:30,960
The TikTok story, I can read the story.

1899
01:06:31,060 --> 01:06:32,040
Story conundrum.

1900
01:06:32,220 --> 01:06:33,960
You should work for Euronews.

1901
01:06:35,140 --> 01:06:37,380
Top officials in the Trump administration are set

1902
01:06:37,380 --> 01:06:39,740
to meet today to discuss a TikTok deal.

1903
01:06:39,980 --> 01:06:42,180
As NPR's Bobby Allen explains, Trump has set

1904
01:06:42,180 --> 01:06:43,940
Saturday as a sell by date for the

1905
01:06:43,940 --> 01:06:45,860
video app under a federal ban law.

1906
01:06:46,020 --> 01:06:47,580
It's not noticeable by using the app, but

1907
01:06:47,580 --> 01:06:50,200
TikTok is technically operating in violation of a

1908
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:52,660
law Congress passed requiring the service to sever

1909
01:06:52,660 --> 01:06:53,560
ties with China.

1910
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,560
The Trump administration has promised not to enforce

1911
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:57,600
the law, while President Trump holds something of

1912
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,360
a public auction for the hit app.

1913
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:01,260
Now, President Trump is set to meet with

1914
01:07:01,260 --> 01:07:03,200
Vice President J.D. Vance and other advisers

1915
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,000
to weigh TikTok's options.

1916
01:07:05,380 --> 01:07:07,580
Software company Oracle, owned by Trump supporter and

1917
01:07:07,580 --> 01:07:09,840
billionaire Larry Ellison, appears to be leading the

1918
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:10,580
pack of bidders.

1919
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,080
The New York Times reported Amazon has sent

1920
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:14,940
in a last minute TikTok offer.

1921
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,880
Yet one key hurdle remains winning the approval

1922
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,540
of Chinese regulators, who may use TikTok as

1923
01:07:20,540 --> 01:07:22,340
leverage in tariff negotiations.

1924
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:25,980
Amazon is the only logical choice, but Amazon

1925
01:07:25,980 --> 01:07:27,480
will ruin it.

1926
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,240
Of course they will ruin it, but I

1927
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:32,740
think Oracle would, too.

1928
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,140
Yeah, well, because with Oracle, they have no

1929
01:07:36,140 --> 01:07:38,440
business model because Oracle doesn't have a shop

1930
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:39,260
to plug into it.

1931
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,700
And and the the bizarre thing is, is

1932
01:07:42,700 --> 01:07:46,160
when Podshow pivoted, we're going to make a

1933
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:46,400
pivot.

1934
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,280
Everybody to me, Vio and video.

1935
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,740
That we pitched so hard to tell Amazon

1936
01:07:52,740 --> 01:07:56,260
you want to have shows built around your

1937
01:07:56,260 --> 01:07:56,720
shopping.

1938
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,640
I'll give Bloom that still a good idea

1939
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:00,620
is a great idea.

1940
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,880
But if Amazon buys TikTok, will we ever

1941
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:06,200
get a clip like this?

1942
01:08:06,700 --> 01:08:08,680
You actually don't see homosexual behavior like out

1943
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,300
in nature, like you don't see other mammals

1944
01:08:10,300 --> 01:08:13,420
behaving almost sexually, only humans, because they came

1945
01:08:13,420 --> 01:08:15,040
up with it in their brains.

1946
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:15,960
Really?

1947
01:08:16,260 --> 01:08:17,680
You've never met a gay dog.

1948
01:08:17,979 --> 01:08:20,160
You think every dog you've ever met is

1949
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:20,740
straight.

1950
01:08:21,060 --> 01:08:22,460
You've never met a dog that even gave

1951
01:08:22,460 --> 01:08:23,319
you a vibe.

1952
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:25,779
Baby dogs are almost as gay as dolphins.

1953
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:27,319
You need to get it together, my guy.

1954
01:08:27,740 --> 01:08:28,760
You need to get it.

1955
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:29,620
I like that.

1956
01:08:29,819 --> 01:08:31,359
You need to get it together, my guy.

1957
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:32,720
Dogs are gay.

1958
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,479
It's gay as dolphins, as gay as dolphins.

1959
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:40,939
Have you ever seen?

1960
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:42,380
Do you think you've ever had a gay

1961
01:08:42,380 --> 01:08:42,800
dog?

1962
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,300
It's a serious question.

1963
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:47,620
I mean, it's possible.

1964
01:08:48,020 --> 01:08:48,460
I don't know.

1965
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:50,640
I've had several dogs in my life.

1966
01:08:50,700 --> 01:08:52,319
I cannot remember one that I got a

1967
01:08:52,319 --> 01:08:53,080
vibe from.

1968
01:08:54,220 --> 01:08:54,359
Vibe.

1969
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:55,460
Yeah, you know, gay vibe.

1970
01:08:55,620 --> 01:08:56,200
Gay vibe.

1971
01:08:56,399 --> 01:08:57,060
Looks like you're funny.

1972
01:08:57,260 --> 01:08:59,500
Gay vibe from my dog.

1973
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:01,040
How come you're not picking up that quarter

1974
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:01,640
that's there?

1975
01:09:07,350 --> 01:09:08,770
Well, I have something since you got the

1976
01:09:08,770 --> 01:09:09,529
TikTok going.

1977
01:09:09,609 --> 01:09:10,189
Oh, TikTok.

1978
01:09:13,359 --> 01:09:13,660
Stop.

1979
01:09:13,660 --> 01:09:14,020
Talk.

1980
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:14,399
Talk.

1981
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:14,840
TikTok.

1982
01:09:15,399 --> 01:09:15,979
All right.

1983
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:19,420
Don't do that.

1984
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:20,220
I have four clips.

1985
01:09:20,540 --> 01:09:21,120
Save some for the end.

1986
01:09:21,220 --> 01:09:23,359
Do two and save two for the end.

1987
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:24,180
Do two now.

1988
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:25,600
It's called programming.

1989
01:09:25,620 --> 01:09:26,420
OK, I can do that.

1990
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:27,680
Yeah, well, don't.

1991
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:29,939
Don't start with the old one, which has

1992
01:09:29,939 --> 01:09:31,700
been sitting around, which is the arrogant Fourth

1993
01:09:31,700 --> 01:09:32,580
of July girl.

1994
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:34,979
OK, if you voted for this, do not

1995
01:09:34,979 --> 01:09:36,279
celebrate the Fourth of July.

1996
01:09:36,660 --> 01:09:38,720
Do not celebrate the Fourth of July.

1997
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,080
I know the left has complicated feelings about

1998
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:41,760
the Fourth of July.

1999
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,920
And it's like to be so patriotic and

2000
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:46,620
celebrate a country that was built on the

2001
01:09:46,620 --> 01:09:49,319
backs of colonialism and G-side and bigotry.

2002
01:09:50,340 --> 01:09:52,819
But I dare I say this Fourth of

2003
01:09:52,819 --> 01:09:56,160
July, I say we reclaim patriotism in the

2004
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,180
name of improving our country and making it

2005
01:09:58,180 --> 01:09:59,220
great for the first time.

2006
01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:02,600
Hopefully, if we're ever able to, without completely

2007
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:04,680
dismantling the country and building a new one,

2008
01:10:04,980 --> 01:10:07,900
which I really hope is the way to

2009
01:10:07,900 --> 01:10:08,380
do it.

2010
01:10:09,940 --> 01:10:12,720
But if you voted for it, if you

2011
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:14,740
voted for this, you do not love this

2012
01:10:14,740 --> 01:10:15,020
country.

2013
01:10:15,020 --> 01:10:16,500
You do not love the people in it.

2014
01:10:16,580 --> 01:10:18,220
You do not deserve to rep like to

2015
01:10:18,220 --> 01:10:22,280
proudly celebrate the country because you're destroying it

2016
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,480
is also if you're apathetic and have said

2017
01:10:25,480 --> 01:10:27,020
anything about anything that's going on.

2018
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,040
Also, you shouldn't celebrate the Fourth of July.

2019
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:30,560
None of you guys should celebrate the Fourth

2020
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:30,940
of July.

2021
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:31,900
You should feel embarrassed.

2022
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,640
You should know that we're all looking at

2023
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:34,300
you a little funny.

2024
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,860
Like I know you guys don't know how

2025
01:10:36,860 --> 01:10:38,400
to read, but read the room.

2026
01:10:40,060 --> 01:10:41,280
Boy, I'll miss them.

2027
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,180
I'll miss them when Amazon buys it.

2028
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:44,380
This is all going away.

2029
01:10:44,380 --> 01:10:45,300
It's all going away.

2030
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,380
Well, yeah, maybe get him in now.

2031
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,060
Here, let's go to the redheaded liberal.

2032
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:59,500
This should come as absolutely no surprise.

2033
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:04,380
But Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating

2034
01:11:04,380 --> 01:11:07,440
of all time with one exception.

2035
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:09,520
Do you know what that exception is?

2036
01:11:09,820 --> 01:11:12,140
Do you know who else had the lowest

2037
01:11:12,140 --> 01:11:14,920
approval rating that he is coming in second

2038
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:15,880
to Donald Trump?

2039
01:11:16,020 --> 01:11:16,660
It's him.

2040
01:11:16,780 --> 01:11:17,700
His first term.

2041
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:19,480
I knew he was at the lowest approval

2042
01:11:19,480 --> 01:11:20,980
rating at this point.

2043
01:11:22,180 --> 01:11:25,000
So he's number one in that regard.

2044
01:11:25,580 --> 01:11:28,540
And he's bringing the rest of the country

2045
01:11:28,540 --> 01:11:29,240
down.

2046
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:31,900
Even people who voted for him, who are

2047
01:11:31,900 --> 01:11:35,840
not diehard maggots, can acknowledge that he is

2048
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:37,060
not doing right by them.

2049
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,560
There are so many people in the federal

2050
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,860
government who are fed up from what they've

2051
01:11:42,860 --> 01:11:45,620
seen in less than two months so far.

2052
01:11:45,860 --> 01:11:48,900
We are not even two months in to

2053
01:11:48,900 --> 01:11:52,020
his current presidency, and he is screwing things

2054
01:11:52,020 --> 01:11:53,880
up every single day.

2055
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:56,500
And then there's Elon Musk.

2056
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,420
Well, this brings me to the slate money

2057
01:11:59,420 --> 01:12:00,160
podcast.

2058
01:12:01,660 --> 01:12:05,580
This is a, you know, financial podcast.

2059
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,420
We talk about things that are on slate

2060
01:12:08,900 --> 01:12:11,900
on who owns slate is slate its own

2061
01:12:11,900 --> 01:12:12,200
thing.

2062
01:12:12,300 --> 01:12:13,280
Or is that Washington Post?

2063
01:12:13,620 --> 01:12:14,600
Wapo, wapo, wapo.

2064
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:16,540
So they have a podcast.

2065
01:12:16,660 --> 01:12:18,420
It's always been a left wing operation.

2066
01:12:18,420 --> 01:12:20,520
So so I'm going to listen to what

2067
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,860
amounts to modern neocommunists.

2068
01:12:24,300 --> 01:12:27,160
Yeah, about about money and investment.

2069
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:30,280
I don't think I would say trans Maoists

2070
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:33,140
more because the question here is all of

2071
01:12:33,140 --> 01:12:37,340
these unhappy liberals, but let's call them delusional

2072
01:12:37,340 --> 01:12:40,100
Dems for purpose of example.

2073
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:42,860
Where are they going to move to when

2074
01:12:42,860 --> 01:12:44,980
they leave our our sinking ship?

2075
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:51,640
This horrible atrocity, this fascistic state, this this

2076
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,560
trash heap that Donald Trump has turned just

2077
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:58,140
into into a rat infested piece of crap.

2078
01:12:58,180 --> 01:12:59,400
Where are they going to move to and

2079
01:12:59,400 --> 01:12:59,700
why?

2080
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:01,520
So wait, I just want to follow up

2081
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:02,580
because I'm now I'm looking at the New

2082
01:13:02,580 --> 01:13:05,600
York Times article and its characteristics of places

2083
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:07,580
Democrats were more likely to move to.

2084
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,640
31% of Democrats were more likely to

2085
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:12,460
move to a place within five miles of

2086
01:13:12,460 --> 01:13:15,340
a Trader Joe's, only 10% of Republicans.

2087
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:17,340
It gets much better.

2088
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,420
Republicans have no list of a store on

2089
01:13:20,420 --> 01:13:21,500
their characteristics.

2090
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,780
There's where property tax below point five percent

2091
01:13:24,780 --> 01:13:27,760
within five miles of a forest.

2092
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:28,420
Whoa.

2093
01:13:28,980 --> 01:13:32,080
Ask pro shop, rural or small town.

2094
01:13:32,420 --> 01:13:34,260
They're twice as likely to move to a

2095
01:13:34,260 --> 01:13:36,080
rural or small town than Democrats.

2096
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:37,640
Well, another way to look at it is

2097
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:40,520
the way the administration is treating marginalized communities

2098
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:41,920
is a big factor, too.

2099
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,160
If you have a kid, I think this

2100
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:46,700
may be a marginalized community speaking trans or

2101
01:13:46,700 --> 01:13:49,820
you're an immigrant and you may not feel

2102
01:13:49,820 --> 01:13:52,760
safe in a neighborhood that's super red.

2103
01:13:53,020 --> 01:13:54,620
So that was definitely like one of the

2104
01:13:54,620 --> 01:13:56,820
guys I talked to who does foreign residency

2105
01:13:56,820 --> 01:13:57,760
and foreign passports.

2106
01:13:58,220 --> 01:14:01,000
He was like, I had nine families with

2107
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:01,800
trans kids.

2108
01:14:02,140 --> 01:14:04,940
What contacted him within a week after Trump

2109
01:14:04,940 --> 01:14:08,000
signed one of his anti-trans executive orders?

2110
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:08,880
Interesting.

2111
01:14:09,340 --> 01:14:13,760
A pro woman bill is, according to Slate,

2112
01:14:13,820 --> 01:14:16,460
an anti-trans executive order.

2113
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:18,320
That's that's a good way of putting it.

2114
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:20,320
They were just like, we have a kid

2115
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:24,420
who is who has is undergoing medical care

2116
01:14:24,420 --> 01:14:28,060
for which they need medical care, medical care.

2117
01:14:28,580 --> 01:14:31,800
You mean puberty blockers and stuff like that?

2118
01:14:31,980 --> 01:14:32,740
Medical care.

2119
01:14:33,480 --> 01:14:35,020
Drugs and they need to take the drugs

2120
01:14:35,020 --> 01:14:35,780
continuously.

2121
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:37,840
And we're very worried that those drugs are

2122
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:38,980
not going to be available to us in

2123
01:14:38,980 --> 01:14:39,460
the United States.

2124
01:14:39,620 --> 01:14:41,500
We want to make sure that we're living

2125
01:14:41,500 --> 01:14:42,860
somewhere where those drugs are available.

2126
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:44,960
Well, relatedly, I talked to a guy last

2127
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,400
night who has HIV and has been treated

2128
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,200
for it for the last 15 years.

2129
01:14:49,740 --> 01:14:51,220
And he said, I'm not sure I'm going

2130
01:14:51,220 --> 01:14:52,660
to be able to get the drugs that

2131
01:14:52,660 --> 01:14:53,980
I need this time next year.

2132
01:14:53,980 --> 01:14:55,340
And he said, if I don't have them,

2133
01:14:55,740 --> 01:14:57,100
I have two years to live.

2134
01:14:57,480 --> 01:15:00,260
So it's really existential for a lot of

2135
01:15:00,260 --> 01:15:00,360
people.

2136
01:15:00,460 --> 01:15:01,660
Why would it be difficult to get HIV

2137
01:15:01,660 --> 01:15:01,880
drugs?

2138
01:15:01,900 --> 01:15:04,580
Because the Trump administration is cutting funding and

2139
01:15:04,580 --> 01:15:05,020
programming.

2140
01:15:05,460 --> 01:15:07,760
And they're not just available on health insurance.

2141
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:08,460
So it's too expensive.

2142
01:15:08,820 --> 01:15:10,700
No, I mean, they're they're cutting treatment.

2143
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:12,500
You know, a lot of the clinics that

2144
01:15:12,500 --> 01:15:15,720
provide HIV drugs and particularly at low cost

2145
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:18,480
to people are having their funding cut off

2146
01:15:18,480 --> 01:15:19,500
by the administration.

2147
01:15:19,500 --> 01:15:21,280
And it seems to be, you know, a

2148
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:21,880
political issue.

2149
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:23,980
Complete bullcrap.

2150
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,840
There's no clinics getting their funding cut off.

2151
01:15:30,230 --> 01:15:32,090
It's how they make this stuff up as

2152
01:15:32,090 --> 01:15:34,110
they go along, because they think that's probably

2153
01:15:34,110 --> 01:15:35,990
what they would be doing if they were

2154
01:15:35,990 --> 01:15:36,470
on the.

2155
01:15:36,730 --> 01:15:39,830
Well, that's an interesting projection of some sort.

2156
01:15:39,890 --> 01:15:41,210
That's an interesting thought.

2157
01:15:41,950 --> 01:15:43,270
That's an interesting thought.

2158
01:15:45,550 --> 01:15:46,690
They are speaking of drugs.

2159
01:15:46,890 --> 01:15:48,930
I got some interesting notes from producers.

2160
01:15:50,410 --> 01:15:52,510
And one of our producers, he said, you

2161
01:15:52,510 --> 01:15:55,310
know, is driving along and I'm listening to

2162
01:15:55,310 --> 01:15:56,830
the report about the pope.

2163
01:15:58,270 --> 01:16:00,990
And, you know, that that he almost died

2164
01:16:00,990 --> 01:16:03,510
and they they had to decide whether to

2165
01:16:03,510 --> 01:16:04,530
just let him die.

2166
01:16:04,950 --> 01:16:07,410
And he says that this was a flub

2167
01:16:07,410 --> 01:16:10,910
that the news model said that they were

2168
01:16:10,910 --> 01:16:13,110
going to they were considering taking him off

2169
01:16:13,110 --> 01:16:14,170
as adrenochrome.

2170
01:16:14,350 --> 01:16:16,030
But then she corrected herself.

2171
01:16:16,710 --> 01:16:18,950
The critical moment came on February 28th when

2172
01:16:18,950 --> 01:16:20,630
the pope had a breathing crisis.

2173
01:16:21,030 --> 01:16:23,310
The choice was whether to stop treatment and

2174
01:16:23,310 --> 01:16:26,610
let him pass or try more aggressive drugs.

2175
01:16:27,150 --> 01:16:27,990
A dream.

2176
01:16:28,230 --> 01:16:28,670
Oh, I drew.

2177
01:16:30,250 --> 01:16:30,810
Wow.

2178
01:16:30,930 --> 01:16:33,370
That's a that's an obscure catch, but I

2179
01:16:33,370 --> 01:16:34,110
might be right.

2180
01:16:34,130 --> 01:16:34,670
I like it.

2181
01:16:34,810 --> 01:16:37,090
Or try more aggressive drugs.

2182
01:16:37,630 --> 01:16:40,930
A drink, a drink, aggressive drugs, adrenochrome.

2183
01:16:41,130 --> 01:16:41,970
I'm just saying.

2184
01:16:42,690 --> 01:16:44,030
But the best one.

2185
01:16:45,750 --> 01:16:46,310
Wow.

2186
01:16:46,530 --> 01:16:48,570
That's a good that that's the funniest catch

2187
01:16:48,570 --> 01:16:49,170
of the day.

2188
01:16:49,170 --> 01:16:51,210
Well, here's another one.

2189
01:16:51,710 --> 01:16:52,690
This is from Salah.

2190
01:16:53,870 --> 01:16:56,610
Salah says, I'm a truck driver just now

2191
01:16:56,610 --> 01:16:59,190
listening to Sunday show in the clip where

2192
01:16:59,190 --> 01:17:02,150
RFK Jr. is talking about downsizing.

2193
01:17:02,250 --> 01:17:04,550
He talks about merging it into a new

2194
01:17:04,550 --> 01:17:06,650
unit with the acronym acronym.

2195
01:17:06,750 --> 01:17:06,990
Aha.

2196
01:17:08,570 --> 01:17:10,650
Growing up with my father, who was Arabic,

2197
01:17:10,990 --> 01:17:12,910
I never learned the language, but you definitely

2198
01:17:12,910 --> 01:17:15,290
pick up assorted words and definitely the swear

2199
01:17:15,290 --> 01:17:15,810
words.

2200
01:17:16,430 --> 01:17:16,850
Aha.

2201
01:17:17,410 --> 01:17:20,430
Exactly how RFK pronounce it is slang in

2202
01:17:20,430 --> 01:17:24,350
my dad's mostly Egyptian dialect for shit or

2203
01:17:24,350 --> 01:17:25,050
damn.

2204
01:17:26,230 --> 01:17:28,230
Listen to how he says it so we

2205
01:17:28,230 --> 01:17:29,150
can replicate it.

2206
01:17:29,210 --> 01:17:32,790
Kennedy also plans to consolidate agencies within HHS

2207
01:17:32,790 --> 01:17:35,570
or can eliminate an entire alphabet soup of

2208
01:17:35,570 --> 01:17:39,110
departments and agencies while preserving their core functions

2209
01:17:39,110 --> 01:17:42,890
by merging them into a new organization called

2210
01:17:42,890 --> 01:17:45,810
the Administration for a Healthy America or AHA.

2211
01:17:45,810 --> 01:17:47,850
The FDA will lose three five hundred.

2212
01:17:48,690 --> 01:17:49,130
Aha.

2213
01:17:49,570 --> 01:17:49,950
Aha.

2214
01:17:50,390 --> 01:17:51,530
So it's aha.

2215
01:17:52,090 --> 01:17:53,010
Don't say that.

2216
01:17:53,230 --> 01:17:53,510
Aha.

2217
01:17:53,690 --> 01:17:55,170
Don't say that in Egypt, people.

2218
01:17:58,530 --> 01:17:58,970
Aha.

2219
01:17:58,970 --> 01:18:00,350
Language is a funny thing.

2220
01:18:00,870 --> 01:18:01,210
Aha.

2221
01:18:01,970 --> 01:18:02,310
Aha.

2222
01:18:05,820 --> 01:18:06,880
I have some more.

2223
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:08,340
Do you want is anything you want to

2224
01:18:08,340 --> 01:18:09,280
jump in on here?

2225
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:10,540
Because I have I have a couple more

2226
01:18:10,540 --> 01:18:12,760
series of some kind of interesting stuff.

2227
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:14,740
I have.

2228
01:18:16,020 --> 01:18:17,700
Yeah, I got a couple of series I

2229
01:18:17,700 --> 01:18:18,000
got to.

2230
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,260
Well, I can put this like Dead B

2231
01:18:20,260 --> 01:18:21,480
should be a second half of show.

2232
01:18:22,980 --> 01:18:24,280
Why don't you go ahead?

2233
01:18:24,420 --> 01:18:25,660
I got plenty of stuff.

2234
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:26,980
Well, we have a new show.

2235
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:30,000
And it's called the Mark and Marco show.

2236
01:18:30,340 --> 01:18:32,200
And if this keeps on going, we need

2237
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:32,560
a jingle.

2238
01:18:32,820 --> 01:18:34,620
It's the Mark and Marco show.

2239
01:18:34,940 --> 01:18:36,660
It's the Mark and Mark and Marco.

2240
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:37,120
Yes.

2241
01:18:37,440 --> 01:18:38,560
Mark Rutte.

2242
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,380
Mark Rutte has a show with Marco.

2243
01:18:41,820 --> 01:18:45,000
You know, Marco, your secretary of state, Marco.

2244
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:46,600
Hello, Marco.

2245
01:18:47,020 --> 01:18:49,320
Marco, I want to commend you for your

2246
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,080
tireless diplomacy over the last couple of months.

2247
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:53,320
You've traveled the whole world.

2248
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,280
You travel the whole world.

2249
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:58,800
How many points do you have on your

2250
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:00,500
on your frequent flyer miles?

2251
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:02,240
I also want to thank you for what

2252
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:04,680
you did before as a senator supporting NATO.

2253
01:19:05,480 --> 01:19:08,020
And we will have a lot to discuss

2254
01:19:08,020 --> 01:19:09,420
over the coming two days.

2255
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:10,400
Of course, Ukraine.

2256
01:19:10,740 --> 01:19:11,080
Yes.

2257
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:14,000
As I said before, President Trump, the team

2258
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:14,920
you broke the deadlock.

2259
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,140
You started a process of negotiations.

2260
01:19:18,340 --> 01:19:18,820
Very good.

2261
01:19:18,900 --> 01:19:20,840
You started it because I know I'm here

2262
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:22,240
to get you more money, Marco.

2263
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,840
With our full support to bring the Ukraine

2264
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:29,960
war to a lasting, to a durable peace.

2265
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:33,140
And in the meantime, the Europeans are stepping

2266
01:19:33,140 --> 01:19:33,420
up.

2267
01:19:33,480 --> 01:19:34,220
They're stepping up.

2268
01:19:34,820 --> 01:19:38,060
Providing a lot of military support into Ukraine.

2269
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:39,840
And we have seen the latest numbers coming

2270
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:43,140
in that overall NATO allies have provided in

2271
01:19:43,140 --> 01:19:46,380
the first three months over 20 billion dollars

2272
01:19:46,380 --> 01:19:48,680
in support to Ukraine to make sure they

2273
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:50,420
can stay in the fight as long as

2274
01:19:50,420 --> 01:19:51,020
it continues.

2275
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,040
This is money that we get here in

2276
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:53,420
America.

2277
01:19:53,660 --> 01:19:55,440
This 20 billion for more bullets.

2278
01:19:56,220 --> 01:19:58,180
We will also discuss the other threats over

2279
01:19:58,180 --> 01:19:58,940
the next two days.

2280
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,280
Of course, Russia, which is our long term

2281
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:02,640
threat.

2282
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:03,800
Long term threat.

2283
01:20:04,020 --> 01:20:04,960
Peace or no peace.

2284
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:06,120
Long term threat.

2285
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:07,960
War is always on the horizon.

2286
01:20:08,340 --> 01:20:10,700
But also the increasing problems we have with

2287
01:20:10,700 --> 01:20:11,120
China.

2288
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:14,020
Of course, North Korea, Iran and all of

2289
01:20:14,020 --> 01:20:15,980
these four getting more and more connected in

2290
01:20:15,980 --> 01:20:19,020
these two theaters, getting more and more connected

2291
01:20:19,020 --> 01:20:20,560
and working intertwined.

2292
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:21,440
It's great.

2293
01:20:21,620 --> 01:20:22,720
But wait, there's more.

2294
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:23,980
There will be more to spend.

2295
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,120
We know that the United States is a

2296
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:27,380
staunch ally in NATO.

2297
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:29,500
I had a very good meeting with the

2298
01:20:29,500 --> 01:20:30,760
president, with President Trump.

2299
01:20:31,420 --> 01:20:33,780
But that commitment comes with an expectation.

2300
01:20:34,140 --> 01:20:37,340
And the expectation is that the European allies

2301
01:20:37,340 --> 01:20:39,180
and Canada need to spend more.

2302
01:20:39,180 --> 01:20:39,620
More.

2303
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,180
Can you stop for a second?

2304
01:20:43,420 --> 01:20:43,620
Yeah.

2305
01:20:45,140 --> 01:20:47,640
For Mark and Marco, does this guy, does

2306
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:50,220
Ruta ever stop talking?

2307
01:20:50,460 --> 01:20:51,400
Yeah, he does in a minute.

2308
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:55,700
So Rubio is just standing there.

2309
01:20:55,780 --> 01:20:56,940
At a certain point, he's looking down at

2310
01:20:56,940 --> 01:20:57,540
his shoes.

2311
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:00,360
He's like Mark on the floor here.

2312
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:01,700
He's looking around.

2313
01:21:01,940 --> 01:21:03,140
He's getting really bored.

2314
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:05,300
And Ruta is just blah, blah, blah, blah,

2315
01:21:05,420 --> 01:21:05,520
blah.

2316
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,020
But it's but he's he's doing his job.

2317
01:21:08,020 --> 01:21:10,500
And Marco knows it from Canada and Europe

2318
01:21:10,500 --> 01:21:12,280
has been 700 billion up to now.

2319
01:21:12,940 --> 01:21:15,700
But when you look at the hundreds of

2320
01:21:15,700 --> 01:21:18,420
billions of euros, less dollars now rolling in,

2321
01:21:18,660 --> 01:21:23,160
rolling, rolling in, rolling, the money is rolling

2322
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:23,480
in.

2323
01:21:23,620 --> 01:21:26,020
Marco, this is probably the biggest surge in

2324
01:21:26,020 --> 01:21:28,340
defense spending we have seen in Canada and

2325
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:30,720
Europe since the Cold War, since the Berlin

2326
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:31,340
Wall came down.

2327
01:21:31,460 --> 01:21:32,640
So that is good news.

2328
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:34,520
But still, we need to do more good

2329
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:34,960
news.

2330
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:36,600
But still, we need to do more.

2331
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:40,960
And now this is so good.

2332
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:42,820
And so Marco comes in.

2333
01:21:42,820 --> 01:21:44,040
This guy's a clown.

2334
01:21:45,100 --> 01:21:45,580
Yes.

2335
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:46,880
Well, we knew that.

2336
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:48,260
We knew he was a clown.

2337
01:21:48,420 --> 01:21:50,600
We've all Dutch people know he's a clown

2338
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:52,700
and the Dutch people can't believe it.

2339
01:21:52,900 --> 01:21:55,300
And like this guy is top dog now

2340
01:21:55,300 --> 01:21:56,420
in the international stage.

2341
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:58,580
So Mark has done his job.

2342
01:21:58,900 --> 01:22:01,120
And now Marco must go for the five

2343
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:01,640
percent.

2344
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:03,340
We have to go up to five percent.

2345
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,680
But Marco is a bit flustered.

2346
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:07,080
The United States is in NATO.

2347
01:22:07,300 --> 01:22:08,720
We are an active as we speak right

2348
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:08,840
now.

2349
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:10,420
The United States is as active in NATO

2350
01:22:10,420 --> 01:22:11,260
as it has ever been.

2351
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,100
And some of this hysteria and hyperbole that

2352
01:22:14,100 --> 01:22:15,780
I see in the global media and some

2353
01:22:15,780 --> 01:22:17,780
domestic media in the United States about NATO

2354
01:22:17,780 --> 01:22:18,440
is unwarranted.

2355
01:22:19,060 --> 01:22:23,000
The United States President Trump's made clear this

2356
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:23,820
is his new name.

2357
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,020
President Pump, that's his new name.

2358
01:22:28,860 --> 01:22:30,260
I'd like that again.

2359
01:22:30,540 --> 01:22:32,260
Take media in the United States about NATO

2360
01:22:32,260 --> 01:22:32,940
is unwarranted.

2361
01:22:33,380 --> 01:22:35,180
The United States President Trump's made clear.

2362
01:22:36,580 --> 01:22:39,020
President Pump, I think I said Trump.

2363
01:22:39,260 --> 01:22:40,060
No, he did not.

2364
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:43,680
No, I listen to it loud and soft.

2365
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:46,080
Yeah, it's like one of the mishearing I

2366
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:47,060
do is very similar.

2367
01:22:47,480 --> 01:22:47,660
OK.

2368
01:22:48,580 --> 01:22:50,000
Trolls, are you hearing pump?

2369
01:22:50,220 --> 01:22:50,900
I'm hearing pump.

2370
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:52,780
The United States about NATO is unwarranted.

2371
01:22:53,440 --> 01:22:55,100
The United States President Trump's made clear.

2372
01:22:55,900 --> 01:22:56,860
He says pump.

2373
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:57,660
Trust me.

2374
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:58,400
He says pump.

2375
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:00,140
No, he says I could hear the T.

2376
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:02,120
No, everyone's hearing pump.

2377
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:04,360
Well, yeah, because you primed them.

2378
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:06,320
Well, does it matter, then?

2379
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:08,180
That's the president Trump's made clear.

2380
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:09,920
He supports NATO.

2381
01:23:10,180 --> 01:23:11,160
We're going to remain in NATO.

2382
01:23:11,380 --> 01:23:12,100
He's made clear.

2383
01:23:12,300 --> 01:23:13,460
But we want NATO to be stronger.

2384
01:23:14,020 --> 01:23:15,280
We want NATO to be more viable.

2385
01:23:15,340 --> 01:23:16,780
And the only way NATO can get stronger,

2386
01:23:16,900 --> 01:23:18,680
more viable is of our partners.

2387
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:21,480
The nation states that comprise this important alliance

2388
01:23:21,480 --> 01:23:22,760
have more capability.

2389
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:23,500
More capability.

2390
01:23:24,180 --> 01:23:26,260
Collection, not just to partners and allies, but

2391
01:23:26,260 --> 01:23:29,580
of advanced economies of rich countries who have

2392
01:23:29,580 --> 01:23:30,940
the capability to do more.

2393
01:23:30,940 --> 01:23:32,800
We understand that's a trade off.

2394
01:23:32,900 --> 01:23:34,500
We have to do it every single year

2395
01:23:34,500 --> 01:23:35,060
in our country.

2396
01:23:35,260 --> 01:23:37,160
Yeah, I assure you that we also have

2397
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:37,960
domestic needs.

2398
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:38,340
We do.

2399
01:23:38,460 --> 01:23:40,900
But we've prioritized defense because of the role

2400
01:23:40,900 --> 01:23:41,800
we've played in the world.

2401
01:23:42,140 --> 01:23:43,560
And we want our partners to do the

2402
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:43,800
same.

2403
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:46,780
And I understand there's domestic politics after decades

2404
01:23:46,780 --> 01:23:50,300
of building up vast social safety net that

2405
01:23:50,300 --> 01:23:51,940
maybe don't want to take away from that

2406
01:23:51,940 --> 01:23:53,520
and invest more in national security.

2407
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:55,060
But the events of the last few years

2408
01:23:55,060 --> 01:23:57,340
are a full scale ground war in the

2409
01:23:57,340 --> 01:23:58,080
heart of Europe is.

2410
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,580
Oh, he's using full scale here.

2411
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,420
That is full scale invasion.

2412
01:24:02,620 --> 01:24:04,180
Full scale ground war.

2413
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:05,680
He's using the terms.

2414
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:07,500
That maybe they don't want to take away

2415
01:24:07,500 --> 01:24:07,900
from that.

2416
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:09,480
And invest more in national security.

2417
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:11,040
But the events of the last few years.

2418
01:24:11,220 --> 01:24:13,460
A full scale ground war in the heart

2419
01:24:13,460 --> 01:24:15,960
of Europe is a reminder that hard power

2420
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:17,660
still necessary as a deterrent.

2421
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:19,500
And so we do want to leave here

2422
01:24:19,500 --> 01:24:20,900
with an understanding that we are on a

2423
01:24:20,900 --> 01:24:24,100
pathway, a realistic pathway to every single one

2424
01:24:24,100 --> 01:24:26,500
of the members committee and fulfilling a promise

2425
01:24:26,500 --> 01:24:28,380
to reach up to five percent of spending

2426
01:24:28,380 --> 01:24:29,840
that includes the United States will have to

2427
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,720
increase its percentage because the threats truly are

2428
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:34,980
as dire as I believe they are and

2429
01:24:34,980 --> 01:24:36,760
the members of this alliance believe they are

2430
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,340
then that threat has to be confronted by

2431
01:24:39,340 --> 01:24:41,420
a full and real commitment to have the

2432
01:24:41,420 --> 01:24:44,000
capability to confront these things and then they

2433
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:48,020
wrap it up with the true next theater

2434
01:24:48,020 --> 01:24:53,440
which is the Arctic I would not be

2435
01:24:53,440 --> 01:24:56,160
surprised if the Arctic would be raised today

2436
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:59,080
by allies and this is an issue and

2437
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,880
the Arctic of course is not only Denmark

2438
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:05,680
the king of Denmark which of course has

2439
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:08,220
Greenland as part of its kingdom this is

2440
01:25:08,220 --> 01:25:11,000
also Iceland it's Canada to the US it

2441
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:12,960
is Norway Finland Sweden so we have seven

2442
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:17,160
allies which are present in the Arctic we

2443
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:19,100
know that the Chinese are opening sea lanes

2444
01:25:19,100 --> 01:25:21,560
we know that the Russians are rearming there

2445
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:23,260
we know and as I said yesterday it

2446
01:25:23,260 --> 01:25:24,500
seems to be a detail but it is

2447
01:25:24,500 --> 01:25:28,120
an important detail it's not trivial and that

2448
01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:32,200
is the issue of icebreakers so more and

2449
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,580
more the seven Arctic countries are working together

2450
01:25:34,580 --> 01:25:36,220
to make sure we keep that part of

2451
01:25:36,220 --> 01:25:39,280
the world safe and NATO is more and

2452
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:44,280
more involved yeah Greenland's really important it's on

2453
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,680
they need icebreakers forth global warming is gonna

2454
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:50,560
melt all those with all that ice don't

2455
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:55,100
ruin don't break the spell of course we

2456
01:25:55,100 --> 01:25:58,380
don't need that global warming take care of

2457
01:25:58,380 --> 01:26:04,330
it all there's no ice let's go back

2458
01:26:04,330 --> 01:26:07,530
to domestic I got two clips okay this

2459
01:26:07,530 --> 01:26:12,910

find Scott I haven't seen him for a

2470
01:26:43,850 --> 01:26:46,630
while hmm the Food and Drug Administration the

2471
01:26:46,630 --> 01:26:48,650
agency that regulates a lot of the things

2472
01:26:48,650 --> 01:26:51,270
Americans eat and the medicines we take is

2473
01:26:51,270 --> 01:26:54,730
now part of a huge reorganization the Trump

2474
01:26:54,730 --> 01:26:57,950
administration announced Thursday that it will cut 20

2475
01:26:57,950 --> 01:27:00,310
,000 jobs from the Department of Health and

2476
01:27:00,310 --> 01:27:03,310
Human Services 3,500 of those are from

2477
01:27:03,310 --> 01:27:06,970
the FDA NPR consumer health correspondent Yuki Nobuchi

2478
01:27:06,970 --> 01:27:09,150
joins us now to talk about this good

2479
01:27:09,150 --> 01:27:12,070
morning Yuki good morning do you have any

2480
01:27:12,070 --> 01:27:15,890
specifics about these jobs well they've given some

2481
01:27:15,890 --> 01:27:18,290
general indications that they want to trim in

2482
01:27:18,290 --> 01:27:21,170
HR and IT for example but the FDA

2483
01:27:21,170 --> 01:27:22,830
didn't respond to my inquiries and so we

2484
01:27:22,830 --> 01:27:26,250
really don't know the specifics but Peter Marks

2485
01:27:26,250 --> 01:27:29,050
who spearheaded the development of the COVID-19

2486
01:27:29,050 --> 01:27:31,070
vaccine at the FDA said he was pushed

2487
01:27:31,070 --> 01:27:34,390
out last week and Robert Califf who's actually

2488
01:27:34,390 --> 01:27:37,730
a two-time FDA Commissioner most recently under

2489
01:27:37,730 --> 01:27:40,910
Biden sounded alarms at a press conference with

2490
01:27:40,910 --> 01:27:44,490
Washington Democratic Senator Patty Murray noting that these

2491
01:27:44,490 --> 01:27:47,490
cuts are on top of other big departures

2492
01:27:47,490 --> 01:27:50,430
the cut of an additional 3,500 people

2493
01:27:50,430 --> 01:27:52,810
on top of the arbitrary cuts that have

2494
01:27:52,810 --> 01:27:57,150
already occurred I miss his name he may

2495
01:27:57,150 --> 01:27:58,670
be someone we need to pay attention to

2496
01:27:58,670 --> 01:28:03,270
most recently under Biden sounded alarms at a

2497
01:28:03,270 --> 01:28:06,610
press conference with Washington Democratic Senator Patty Murray

2498
01:28:06,610 --> 01:28:09,650
noting that these cuts are on top of

2499
01:28:09,650 --> 01:28:12,750
other big departures the cut of an additional

2500
01:28:12,750 --> 01:28:15,490
3,500 people on top of the arbitrary

2501
01:28:15,490 --> 01:28:18,330
cuts that have already occurred in addition to

2502
01:28:18,330 --> 01:28:20,830
all the people who are leaving is likely

2503
01:28:20,830 --> 01:28:22,990
to leave the FDA unable to do its

2504
01:28:22,990 --> 01:28:26,090
critical work that is such an old-school

2505
01:28:26,830 --> 01:28:29,930
Washington DC cadence kind of a who's who

2506
01:28:29,930 --> 01:28:34,810
is some guy that was booted out like

2507
01:28:34,810 --> 01:28:43,880
Buckley it gets better in the second clip

2508
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:46,620
and either the critical work he refers to

2509
01:28:46,620 --> 01:28:49,040
is you know safety reviews for things like

2510
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:53,460
new drugs food safety tobacco vaccines and tobacco

2511
01:28:53,460 --> 01:29:00,320
safety drugs food safety tobacco vaccines and devices

2512
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:02,640
like you know heart pacemakers you know a

2513
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:04,860
lot of everyday can the way she says

2514
01:29:04,860 --> 01:29:07,500
this is so like well you know you're

2515
01:29:07,500 --> 01:29:09,440
gonna die because you know none of the

2516
01:29:09,440 --> 01:29:12,040
pacemaker and these drugs won't be safe and

2517
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:17,200
MPR yeah hello vaccines and devices like you

2518
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:19,240
know heart pacemakers you know a lot of

2519
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:22,440
everyday consumer items are regulated by the FDA

2520
01:29:22,440 --> 01:29:24,860
you key what is the White House saying

2521
01:29:24,860 --> 01:29:27,820
about how these cuts and read and this

2522
01:29:27,820 --> 01:29:31,160
realignment fits with its priorities yeah it's led

2523
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,260
by Robert F Kennedy jr.

2524
01:29:33,440 --> 01:29:36,060
the new Health and Human Services secretary and

2525
01:29:36,060 --> 01:29:38,720
he says the country's health agencies are too

2526
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:42,300
bloated and ineffective at fighting in particular chronic

2527
01:29:42,300 --> 01:29:46,120
disease he and others dislike the country's past

2528
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:49,500
approach to public health generally and Peter Marx

2529
01:29:49,500 --> 01:29:52,720
wrote a bitter resignation letter suggesting Kennedy's cutting

2530
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:56,040
back on vaccine efforts because that work doesn't

2531
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:59,400
align with Kennedy's personal beliefs on the other

2532
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:02,200
hand Kennedy has led this campaign to make

2533
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:05,220
America healthy again and that phrase has now

2534
01:30:05,220 --> 01:30:08,460
got its own acronym Maha and has a

2535
01:30:08,460 --> 01:30:11,260
broad following but Caleb says these cuts are

2536
01:30:11,260 --> 01:30:14,640
not consistent with that idea and it's really

2537
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:17,120
striking to me how the rhetoric of for

2538
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:22,360
example better nutrition enhanced food safety innovation and

2539
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:26,720
medical products runs contrary to what's being done

2540
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:28,920
with the workforce a lot of people afraid

2541
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:31,700
of heights not me I'm afraid of widths

2542
01:30:31,700 --> 01:30:33,540
you know he even quipped that this seems

2543
01:30:33,540 --> 01:30:35,420
like a good way to make America not

2544
01:30:35,420 --> 01:30:43,820
healthy again brother what a of airtime so

2545
01:30:43,820 --> 01:30:45,980
I slipped a Steven Wright in there that

2546
01:30:45,980 --> 01:30:48,220
was notice I did I laughed at it

2547
01:30:48,220 --> 01:30:51,560
okay I left at it I was listening

2548
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:52,840
to this guy it's a reason for the

2549
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:55,520
clip yeah it was highbrow highbrow highbrow I

2550
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:57,100
would listen to the clip because this guy's

2551
01:30:57,100 --> 01:30:59,700
voice he was either sound like Steven Steve

2552
01:30:59,700 --> 01:31:03,440
Landis Berg who used to be on on

2553
01:31:03,440 --> 01:31:06,920
the TV show the thing is no one

2554
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:13,180
knows our boomer humor right so I found

2555
01:31:13,180 --> 01:31:15,380
the Steven Wright clip that fit right in

2556
01:31:15,380 --> 01:31:17,480
yeah but no I mean people didn't even

2557
01:31:17,480 --> 01:31:19,320
get my Elmer Fudd we are we are

2558
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:22,360
boomer humor is is failing it's falling flat

2559
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:25,960
people we have enough of us well that

2560
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:29,140
audience which is small I say 10%

2561
01:31:29,140 --> 01:31:30,960
of our audience gets some of this material

2562
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:35,180
I'm gonna go for five on those guys

2563
01:31:35,180 --> 01:31:38,880
should donate more this is true this is

2564
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:42,780
true boomer humor to the rescue oh man

2565
01:31:42,780 --> 01:31:48,000
oh man yeah Barney Miller was the show

2566
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:51,300
with Steve Landon's Landis yeah that's he has

2567
01:31:51,300 --> 01:31:53,680
the exact same voice that's stretching it though

2568
01:31:53,680 --> 01:32:00,080
well on the HHS FDA LMNOP major Garrett

2569
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:03,600
she be our CIA broadcasting systems brought on

2570
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:08,800
Deborah Birx who why do they bring these

2571
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:12,800
old hacks on that are notorious they're already

2572
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:15,440
proven to be phonies and they've lied to

2573
01:32:15,440 --> 01:32:18,060
the public and admitted it in public that

2574
01:32:18,060 --> 01:32:20,600
there are liars and they bring them back

2575
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:22,920
or do they have like a one Rolodex

2576
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:25,300
it's just being passed around and it's like

2577
01:32:25,300 --> 01:32:28,140
they can't come up with anybody new I'm

2578
01:32:28,140 --> 01:32:31,480
not quite sure but she I mean since

2579
01:32:31,480 --> 01:32:35,020
she left after kovat she's been the CEO

2580
01:32:35,020 --> 01:32:37,600
of a company she's been on the board

2581
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:39,740
of a couple other companies I think in

2582
01:32:39,740 --> 01:32:41,060
one of these clips she has to be

2583
01:32:41,060 --> 01:32:44,640
a spook well she what she was a

2584
01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:50,080
ranking officer in the Navy so I don't

2585
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:53,700
know if she was naval intelligence but you

2586
01:32:53,700 --> 01:32:55,320
know now she's claiming for the last few

2587
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:59,500
years she's been working in rural Texas right

2588
01:32:59,500 --> 01:33:02,920
so yes there is something very odd about

2589
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:06,100
her but she's actually not very negative about

2590
01:33:06,100 --> 01:33:07,380
RFK jr.

2591
01:33:08,220 --> 01:33:10,740
welcome back Health and Human Services Secretary Robert

2592
01:33:10,740 --> 01:33:11,560
F Kennedy jr.

2593
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:13,080
is planning to lay off at least two

2594
01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:15,140
-thirds of the staff at the National Institute

2595
01:33:15,140 --> 01:33:18,260
of Occupational Safety and Health it is the

2596
01:33:18,260 --> 01:33:21,020
federal agency within HHS that attempts to prevent

2597
01:33:21,020 --> 01:33:24,320
workplace related injuries and illnesses those firings are

2598
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:26,500
part of the 10,000 jobs that are

2599
01:33:26,500 --> 01:33:29,420
expected to be cut across the agency I

2600
01:33:29,420 --> 01:33:31,020
want to bring in former White House coronavirus

2601
01:33:31,020 --> 01:33:32,380
response coordinator dr.

2602
01:33:32,500 --> 01:33:34,740
Debra Brooks to evaluate all this dr.

2603
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:36,300
Brooks I'm so glad you're with us you

2604
01:33:36,300 --> 01:33:38,220
have vast experience in the federal government in

2605
01:33:38,220 --> 01:33:41,140
the federal bureaucracy you know you say that

2606
01:33:41,140 --> 01:33:43,860
but this is CBS so that can't be

2607
01:33:43,860 --> 01:33:48,200
a coincidence how do you read these reductions

2608
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:51,360
within HHS some people are expressing tremendous alarm

2609
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:54,740
where do you fall on that spectrum well

2610
01:33:54,740 --> 01:33:57,840
you know I was in DOD HHS stayed

2611
01:33:57,840 --> 01:34:00,660
on the White House 41 years in federal

2612
01:34:00,660 --> 01:34:02,500
service and let me just say my federal

2613
01:34:02,500 --> 01:34:04,680
service colleagues I worked with a lot of

2614
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:07,680
dedicated hard-working people but what has happened

2615
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:09,880
over the years that you're not hearing about

2616
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:11,860
you're hearing about fraud waste and abuse but

2617
01:34:11,860 --> 01:34:13,860
there's something else that has been going on

2618
01:34:13,860 --> 01:34:16,260
and that's a lot of duplication among the

2619
01:34:16,260 --> 01:34:20,540
HHS agencies and so when COVID hit you

2620
01:34:20,540 --> 01:34:22,780
had things that were Asper was doing that

2621
01:34:22,780 --> 01:34:24,960
also CDC was doing and it caused a

2622
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:26,980
lot of confusion I think what they're trying

2623
01:34:26,980 --> 01:34:28,260
to do in which I hope they are

2624
01:34:28,260 --> 01:34:33,060
trying to do is bring back fundamentals stop

2625
01:34:33,060 --> 01:34:37,100
the duplication get people remission focused and hold

2626
01:34:37,100 --> 01:34:41,080
people accountable to improvements in Americans health because

2627
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:44,040
we're spending more we have more personnel about

2628
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:46,880
17% increase in just the last four

2629
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:49,440
years yet the health of America has not

2630
01:34:49,440 --> 01:34:51,040
improved and so I think we have to

2631
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:53,080
get back to really understanding what is the

2632
01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:55,720
job of HHS and that's the Health and

2633
01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:58,060
Human Services of the American people and I

2634
01:34:58,060 --> 01:34:59,640
hope that's what this gonna come back in

2635
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:02,060
this focus I was surprised when I heard

2636
01:35:02,060 --> 01:35:03,920
that I'm like okay so she's kind of

2637
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:05,740
saying it's good Asper by the way is

2638
01:35:05,740 --> 01:35:10,460
the administration for strategic preparedness and response which

2639
01:35:10,460 --> 01:35:14,120
I can't even remember hearing that that acronym

2640
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:17,740
during COVID do you know so here's the

2641
01:35:17,740 --> 01:35:19,740
comes on with this very good kind of

2642
01:35:19,740 --> 01:35:23,240
semi positive approach right after Musk visited the

2643
01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:28,580
CIA no there you go so here's the

2644
01:35:28,580 --> 01:35:31,120
follow-up question if these cuts these cuts

2645
01:35:31,120 --> 01:35:33,320
are they good as you read the headlines

2646
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:35,580
as you talk to your colleagues still in

2647
01:35:35,580 --> 01:35:37,320
do you think that the process that is

2648
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:40,660
going on is in moving in that direction

2649
01:35:40,660 --> 01:35:43,040
or is kind of pell-mell and sort

2650
01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:44,880
of well it's just cut as big a

2651
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:47,780
number as we can think of what pell

2652
01:35:47,780 --> 01:35:50,720
-mell is it pell-mell isn't it Paul

2653
01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:52,960
mall or no no tell me I said

2654
01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:59,520
it means a chaotic boomer phrase well right

2655
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:01,580
5% of the listeners know what a

2656
01:36:01,580 --> 01:36:05,220
pell-mell I'm thinking Paul mall those the

2657
01:36:05,220 --> 01:36:07,520
Paul mall reds man those were hardcore I

2658
01:36:07,520 --> 01:36:13,900
haven't heard that I haven't heard the term

2659
01:36:13,900 --> 01:36:18,460
pell-mell for decades well decades they know

2660
01:36:18,460 --> 01:36:21,400
their audience don't they is moving in that

2661
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:23,920
direction or is kind of pell-mell and

2662
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:25,920
sort of well it's just cut as big

2663
01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:27,620
a number as we can think of maybe

2664
01:36:27,620 --> 01:36:29,340
it's a they're trying to bring back all

2665
01:36:29,340 --> 01:36:31,600
these cool cool phrases you know just to

2666
01:36:31,600 --> 01:36:34,860
sound intellectual it's a kind of pell-mell

2667
01:36:34,860 --> 01:36:38,880
I'm gonna start using it well don't start

2668
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:42,260
you this that sounds dumb this Trump administration

2669
01:36:42,260 --> 01:36:44,740
is completely pell-mell you know I see

2670
01:36:44,740 --> 01:36:48,340
the work at HHS being pretty deliberative the

2671
01:36:48,340 --> 01:36:50,780
fact that they put asper back within the

2672
01:36:50,780 --> 01:36:53,980
CDC so that CDC who is also working

2673
01:36:53,980 --> 01:36:56,820
on disease control is she something is up

2674
01:36:56,820 --> 01:37:00,220
with asper she you know why is she

2675
01:37:00,220 --> 01:37:02,580
so talking about asper this and no one

2676
01:37:02,580 --> 01:37:04,560
no one talks about asper but she well

2677
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:06,420
that must be the spook part of the

2678
01:37:06,420 --> 01:37:09,480
agency doing the same thing as asper so

2679
01:37:09,480 --> 01:37:11,700
that we're ready for the next pandemic because

2680
01:37:11,700 --> 01:37:14,120
when you have two agencies thinking they're both

2681
01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:16,740
in charge it caused a lot of confusion

2682
01:37:16,740 --> 01:37:19,380
around that table of trying to get the

2683
01:37:19,380 --> 01:37:21,740
best job of COVID for the American people

2684
01:37:21,740 --> 01:37:24,400
and so what I'm hoping comes out of

2685
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:27,440
this is a much more horizontal structure where

2686
01:37:27,440 --> 01:37:29,780
the NIH I just say being at CDC

2687
01:37:29,780 --> 01:37:32,520
there are a hundred and fifty different databases

2688
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:35,100
none of which talk to each other she's

2689
01:37:35,100 --> 01:37:38,940
totally talking must stuff here oh the databases

2690
01:37:38,940 --> 01:37:41,560
don't talk to each other okay so there's

2691
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:45,340
an injury database there's a flu database Americans

2692
01:37:45,340 --> 01:37:47,720
are whole people so I think figuring out

2693
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:50,720
how do we get more horizontal data so

2694
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:52,920
we can find where things are going well

2695
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:55,480
and learn from them and the things that

2696
01:37:55,480 --> 01:37:58,520
aren't going well in specific counties particularly rural

2697
01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:01,260
counties who are well well behind in life

2698
01:38:01,260 --> 01:38:04,660
expectancy compared to urban counties are we doing

2699
01:38:04,660 --> 01:38:07,180
something to address that and then holding the

2700
01:38:07,180 --> 01:38:11,180
federal government to outcomes the job of the

2701
01:38:11,180 --> 01:38:13,700
federal government is not to analyze data the

2702
01:38:13,700 --> 01:38:15,820
job of the federal government is to use

2703
01:38:15,820 --> 01:38:20,040
data to find solutions to actually improve outcomes

2704
01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:22,680
and impacts that's not a second how does

2705
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:24,480
that even make any sense you don't analyze

2706
01:38:24,480 --> 01:38:26,700
it you use it it's the same thing

2707
01:38:26,700 --> 01:38:29,200
you use it without analyzing it don't analyze

2708
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:32,800
it just use it asper is the secretary's

2709
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:36,840

2710
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:40,260
other public health emergencies they are responsible for

2711
01:38:40,260 --> 01:38:43,960

improve u.s. national security against bioterrorism a

2717
01:39:04,020 --> 01:39:08,020
quote Manhattan project for biodefense what could I

2718
01:39:08,020 --> 01:39:10,800
call the mRNA vaccine what could possibly go

2719
01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:15,140
wrong Wow and we've net we did not

2720
01:39:15,140 --> 01:39:16,940
hear of this I at least I can't

2721
01:39:16,940 --> 01:39:19,760
remember well she's brought it to the fore

2722
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:21,980
for a reason yeah so we now we've

2723
01:39:21,980 --> 01:39:24,000
heard of it so now it's it's in

2724
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:26,420
play you know now it's in play it's

2725
01:39:26,420 --> 01:39:28,460
in play for some reason she and this

2726
01:39:28,460 --> 01:39:30,560
was the point of her being on CBS

2727
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:32,840
Evening News let's see what she says in

2728
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:34,460
this last clip about the head of the

2729
01:39:34,460 --> 01:39:35,100
FDA dr.

2730
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:36,360
Brooks I want to ask you about something

2731
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:38,940
that going on at FDA because Peter Marks

2732
01:39:38,940 --> 01:39:41,080
who as you know was the FDA's head

2733
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:43,900
of biologics resigned and in his resignation letter

2734
01:39:43,900 --> 01:39:47,560
he said biologics is vaccines Robert F Kennedy

2735
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:47,940
jr.

2736
01:39:47,940 --> 01:39:50,020
who leads the Department of Health and Human

2737
01:39:50,020 --> 01:39:55,260
Services is subservient he seeks subservient confirmation of

2738
01:39:55,260 --> 01:39:58,260
his misinformation and lies that's a direct quote

2739
01:39:58,260 --> 01:40:02,260
related to vaccines and their effectiveness and the

2740
01:40:02,260 --> 01:40:05,280
Wall Street Journal recently editorialized that mr.

2741
01:40:05,380 --> 01:40:08,360
Kennedy rightly criticized the Biden administration's kovat response

2742
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:11,380
for ignoring science but he won't restore public

2743
01:40:11,380 --> 01:40:14,920
confidence if he feeds skepticism about vaccines that

2744
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:17,660
have saved countless lives the Wall Street Journal

2745
01:40:17,660 --> 01:40:20,740
editorial board writes our worst fears about mr.

2746
01:40:20,860 --> 01:40:22,900
Kennedy are coming true do you share any

2747
01:40:22,900 --> 01:40:25,500
of those anxieties well what I've seen on

2748
01:40:25,500 --> 01:40:27,260
the ground because I've been working the last

2749
01:40:27,260 --> 01:40:30,800
four years in rural Texas what really him

2750
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:33,400
coming out and saying I believe in the

2751
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:36,660
MMR vaccine it is effective I want people

2752
01:40:36,660 --> 01:40:39,320
to get it he supported CDC to go

2753
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:43,060
in there and support increased access to vaccination

2754
01:40:43,060 --> 01:40:46,640
federal dollars went to increasing vaccination in that

2755
01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:49,280
area so you know you have to look

2756
01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:52,460
at people's actions and really try to understand

2757
01:40:52,460 --> 01:40:54,840
what is being said and what is being

2758
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:57,080
actually done on the ground and I think

2759
01:40:57,080 --> 01:40:59,040
what is being done on the ground in

2760
01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:02,980
West Texas is consistent with improving vaccination rates

2761
01:41:02,980 --> 01:41:06,560
oh boy there's a lot to unpack in

2762
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:10,420
that commentary mm-hmm one the Wall Street

2763
01:41:10,420 --> 01:41:14,080
Journal is anti Kennedy why is that and

2764
01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:18,280
that's a Rupert Murdoch operation or Murdoch operation

2765
01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:21,120
the second thing is she's in rural Texas

2766
01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:25,020
and then coincidentally of a measles outbreak as

2767
01:41:25,020 --> 01:41:27,840
it were yeah breaks out where she you

2768
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:29,860
know she's in the in the vicinity I

2769
01:41:29,860 --> 01:41:32,200
from the sounds of it she's definitely in

2770
01:41:32,200 --> 01:41:34,920
rural Texas and she's aware of this this

2771
01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:38,340
situation in the few people with the measles

2772
01:41:38,340 --> 01:41:40,520
there and the one phony one that supposedly

2773
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:44,140
died from measles mm-hmm now this is

2774
01:41:44,140 --> 01:41:50,900
very suspect the see these she's defending Kennedy

2775
01:41:50,900 --> 01:41:57,060
yes so Kennedy's obviously gonna do nothing so

2776
01:41:57,060 --> 01:42:02,620
Don oka Don O'Connell is the I

2777
01:42:02,620 --> 01:42:04,920
guess she's she was the assistant secretary for

2778
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:09,180
Asper no it looks like she's the German

2779
01:42:09,180 --> 01:42:14,840
operation called Asperger let's see Office of Public

2780
01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:17,500
she looks like a real spook by the

2781
01:42:17,500 --> 01:42:24,360
way is Don O'Connell hmm well there's

2782
01:42:24,360 --> 01:42:28,440
definitely something up here see Asper dot HHS

2783
01:42:28,440 --> 01:42:30,520
yeah it was given it was rolled out

2784
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:32,780
for a reason program to let us know

2785
01:42:32,780 --> 01:42:36,180
yes what's going on give us a backgrounder

2786
01:42:36,180 --> 01:42:39,160
and I didn't know what we're supposed to

2787
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:41,220
would put this what we can do with

2788
01:42:41,220 --> 01:42:43,560
it let's see who the boss is John

2789
01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:49,420
Knox wait he's the principal deputies where's the

2790
01:42:49,420 --> 01:42:51,240
I guess they don't have don't they have

2791
01:42:51,240 --> 01:42:55,160
a they only have a deputy no I

2792
01:42:55,160 --> 01:43:01,500
guess so John Knox where's he from Los

2793
01:43:01,500 --> 01:43:06,000
Angeles County Sheriff's Department hmm I don't know

2794
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,380
but something's in play there with Asper I

2795
01:43:08,380 --> 01:43:10,620
I agree with you and and Burks all

2796
01:43:10,620 --> 01:43:12,860
of a sudden I've been in rural Texas

2797
01:43:12,860 --> 01:43:16,200
all these years no four years it makes

2798
01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:19,480
no sense I'm so confused it makes no

2799
01:43:19,480 --> 01:43:22,460
sense you're right I'm very confused aspect to

2800
01:43:22,460 --> 01:43:24,660
this I'm very confused about her I'm not

2801
01:43:24,660 --> 01:43:26,940
sure what she's doing it doesn't feel right

2802
01:43:26,940 --> 01:43:31,120
yeah it doesn't feel right doing something yeah

2803
01:43:32,940 --> 01:43:39,520
well let's see where this we have a

2804
01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:43,880
interesting donation segment why did you see the

2805
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:45,680
length of some of those notes oh yeah

2806
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:47,960
especially the guy who insists on on the

2807
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:50,980
note well there's at least five of them

2808
01:43:50,980 --> 01:43:52,780
that are that need to be truncated and

2809
01:43:52,780 --> 01:43:54,420
we just needs to be truncated well there's

2810
01:43:54,420 --> 01:43:56,460
one guy he insisted the note be read

2811
01:43:56,460 --> 01:43:59,600
but the one that's five pages long no

2812
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:05,190
it's not that long how about musk and

2813
01:44:05,190 --> 01:44:07,790
doge goes to the CIA okay let's do

2814
01:44:07,790 --> 01:44:09,970
that and then then we can deal with

2815
01:44:09,970 --> 01:44:12,830
the notes as good billionaire Elon Musk has

2816
01:44:12,830 --> 01:44:15,310
shared his doge team's cost-cutting plans with

2817
01:44:15,310 --> 01:44:18,330
officials at the CIA the agency has already

2818
01:44:18,330 --> 01:44:20,850
taken steps to fire employees who worked on

2819
01:44:20,850 --> 01:44:23,810
diversity issues a federal judge has ordered the

2820
01:44:23,810 --> 01:44:27,730
CIA to reconsider those job cuts citing constitutional

2821
01:44:27,730 --> 01:44:32,110
statutory and regulatory concerns well how does that

2822
01:44:32,110 --> 01:44:36,040
fit in I don't know and I don't

2823
01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:37,340
know what the judge has got to do

2824
01:44:37,340 --> 01:44:40,500
with CIA hiring practices but okay these judges

2825
01:44:40,500 --> 01:44:42,660
are something's got to have happened with these

2826
01:44:42,660 --> 01:44:46,820
judges well it isn't President Trump firing the

2827
01:44:46,820 --> 01:44:50,000
judges no no here's a fire these judges

2828
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:52,240
these are judges that are not fireable oh

2829
01:44:52,240 --> 01:44:55,100
and he has to either impeach him which

2830
01:44:55,100 --> 01:44:56,760
no one's gonna it's not gonna happen because

2831
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:58,160
you can't get the votes in the Senate

2832
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:00,520
no or you're gonna or the Supreme Court's

2833
01:45:00,520 --> 01:45:01,860
gonna have to tell him hey you can't

2834
01:45:01,860 --> 01:45:03,340
be doing what you're doing because this is

2835
01:45:03,340 --> 01:45:05,520
not you know your district guys no good

2836
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:09,140
to be doing national stuff oh and the

2837
01:45:09,140 --> 01:45:11,160
Supreme Court's still on the draw on this

2838
01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:16,260
why weren't they already involved I don't know

2839
01:45:16,260 --> 01:45:19,200
I don't know no one seems to be

2840
01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:23,660
paying attention any of that the news is

2841
01:45:23,660 --> 01:45:26,900
not is not the news oh I discovered

2842
01:45:26,900 --> 01:45:29,980
something the news is not the news I

2843
01:45:29,980 --> 01:45:32,060
thought this was rather interesting though for those

2844
01:45:32,060 --> 01:45:34,300
who are so concerned about Elon Musk the

2845
01:45:34,300 --> 01:45:37,820
Nazi and Donald Trump the Nazi and the

2846
01:45:37,820 --> 01:45:41,120
Republicans the Nazi and the Texans the Nazis

2847
01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:43,860
we're all Nazis how about some actual Nazi

2848
01:45:43,860 --> 01:45:47,400
info Argentina's president Javier Millet says that he

2849
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:50,500
is declassifying government documents on how a Nazi

2850
01:45:50,500 --> 01:45:53,720
war criminals escaped Europe and resettled in South

2851
01:45:53,720 --> 01:45:56,700
America following World War two it's thought as

2852
01:45:56,700 --> 01:45:59,660
many as 5,000 Nazis evaded arrest in

2853
01:45:59,660 --> 01:46:03,300
Argentina the most prominent was Adolf Eichmann seen

2854
01:46:03,300 --> 01:46:06,220
here during his trial in Israel in 1961

2855
01:46:06,220 --> 01:46:08,640
Eichmann was one of the architects of the

2856
01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:11,840
Holocaust Israeli agents captured him and took him

2857
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:14,640
to Jerusalem where he was tried and sentenced

2858
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:16,400
to death well I'm joined now by the

2859
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:19,280
man known as the last Nazi hunter dr.

2860
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:21,920
Efrem Zuroff has played a key role in

2861
01:46:21,920 --> 01:46:25,160
helping to bring Nazi and fascist war criminals

2862
01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:26,800
to trial dr.

2863
01:46:26,860 --> 01:46:28,360
Zuroff is good to have you back on

2864
01:46:28,360 --> 01:46:31,600
the program what are you expecting to find

2865
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:34,720
in these files that are being made public

2866
01:46:34,720 --> 01:46:38,780
in Argentina I assume that we'll be able

2867
01:46:38,780 --> 01:46:43,260
to get many many details regarding the identity

2868
01:46:43,260 --> 01:46:47,880
of the Nazis who fled to Argentina and

2869
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:55,080
the identities of I'm gonna tell you this

2870
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:58,460
could be bigger than the Epstein files when

2871
01:46:58,460 --> 01:47:00,460
we really find out who the Nazis were

2872
01:47:00,460 --> 01:47:02,060
that were escapes and who helped them it's

2873
01:47:02,060 --> 01:47:04,080
gonna open up an interesting can of worms

2874
01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:09,480
yeah especially the Hitlers on the list speaking

2875
01:47:09,480 --> 01:47:13,380
of Israel the Prime Minister is breaking the

2876
01:47:13,380 --> 01:47:16,220
law in a defiant gesture towards the International

2877
01:47:16,220 --> 01:47:20,240
Criminal Court Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Hungary it

2878
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:21,960
will be his first trip to the European

2879
01:47:21,960 --> 01:47:24,700
Union since an arrest warrant was issued against

2880
01:47:24,700 --> 01:47:27,340
him the Israeli Prime Minister is wanted for

2881
01:47:27,340 --> 01:47:30,800
alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in

2882
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:33,220
the Gaza Strip Prime Minister Viktor Orban extended

2883
01:47:33,220 --> 01:47:36,640
the invitation in November last year quickly flouting

2884
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:41,260
the ICC ruling we have no choice but

2885
01:47:41,260 --> 01:47:44,020
to defy this decision and I will invite

2886
01:47:44,020 --> 01:47:46,680
the Israeli Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu to visit

2887
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:49,920
Hungary where I will assure him that the

2888
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:52,780
International Criminal Court's ruling will have no effect

2889
01:47:52,780 --> 01:47:54,800
in Hungary and we will not follow its

2890
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:55,220
terms.

2891
01:47:55,500 --> 01:47:58,480
As a signatory of the ICC Hungary is

2892
01:47:58,480 --> 01:48:01,740
formally obliged to take Netanyahu into custody but

2893
01:48:01,740 --> 01:48:03,820
for the next four days Orban is expected

2894
01:48:03,820 --> 01:48:06,940
to welcome him into Budapest with open arms

2895
01:48:06,940 --> 01:48:09,180
and it is not the only time they

2896
01:48:09,180 --> 01:48:10,880
have put their friendship first.

2897
01:48:11,420 --> 01:48:14,420
In 2017 when Orban was accused of anti

2898
01:48:14,420 --> 01:48:18,080
-semitism towards the American Jewish billionaire George Soros

2899
01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:21,140
the Israeli PM came to his rescue in

2900
01:48:21,140 --> 01:48:24,220
July last year Budapest vetoed an EU statement

2901
01:48:24,220 --> 01:48:27,240
that condemned the Knesset's rejection of a Palestinian

2902
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:30,880
state and the Hungarian leader has unconditionally supported

2903
01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:33,680
Israel's offensive in Gaza which has claimed more

2904
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:36,980
than 50,000 lives according to Gaza Authority.

2905
01:48:38,180 --> 01:48:40,520
So what is he doing in Hungary?

2906
01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:41,860
That's what I'd like to know.

2907
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:43,340
What is he doing there?

2908
01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:45,400
There's gotta be some something going on behind

2909
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:46,880
the scenes that we don't know about it's

2910
01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:48,920
gonna happen there and why there?

2911
01:48:49,140 --> 01:48:51,680
Well maybe he wants to ship some some

2912
01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:53,020
Palestinians over there.

2913
01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:55,740
Israel is slowly tightening its grip on the

2914
01:48:55,740 --> 01:48:56,440
Gaza Strip.

2915
01:48:56,620 --> 01:48:59,480
Defense Minister Israel Katz said the army's operation

2916
01:48:59,480 --> 01:49:02,460
was expanding to seize large areas that would

2917
01:49:02,460 --> 01:49:05,160
be incorporated into what he called Israeli security

2918
01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:08,120
zones without saying how much territory would be

2919
01:49:08,120 --> 01:49:08,620
seized.

2920
01:49:10,480 --> 01:49:13,820
But he also said that Palestinians would have

2921
01:49:13,820 --> 01:49:14,820
to be evacuated.

2922
01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:17,640
Katz also called on the enclave's residents to

2923
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:20,720
expel Hamas and return hostages roughly a week

2924
01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:24,000
after this rare footage showed Palestinians protesting against

2925
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:26,820
the militant group but representatives of the families

2926
01:49:26,820 --> 01:49:30,200
of hostages accused the Israeli government of sacrificing

2927
01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:32,740
the hostages for the sake of territorial gains.

2928
01:49:33,080 --> 01:49:35,660
Katz's announcement comes a week after he warned

2929
01:49:35,660 --> 01:49:37,940
that the Israeli military would operate with full

2930
01:49:37,940 --> 01:49:39,000
force in the territory.

2931
01:49:39,340 --> 01:49:41,240
The ceasefire which came to an end on

2932
01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:43,840
March 18th is now a distant memory for

2933
01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:45,260
Palestinians living in Gaza.

2934
01:49:45,620 --> 01:49:48,080
At daybreak Gaza health officials said at least

2935
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:51,800
15 people including children were killed in airstrikes

2936
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:54,160
on homes in Khan Younis and the Nusayrat

2937
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:55,040
refugee camp.

2938
01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:57,720
The UN has also warned that stockpiles of

2939
01:49:57,720 --> 01:50:00,100
flour are running out in Gaza after Israel

2940
01:50:00,100 --> 01:50:02,540
closed crossings to humanitarian aid.

2941
01:50:02,680 --> 01:50:05,000
The UN has urged Israel to reopen its

2942
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:07,540
crossings to humanitarian aid to avert a food

2943
01:50:07,540 --> 01:50:08,000
crisis.

2944
01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:09,560
What is this?

2945
01:50:10,100 --> 01:50:13,800
So maybe he's checking out a new place

2946
01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:15,680
in Hungary where he's going to flee to?

2947
01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:18,960
What is going on?

2948
01:50:19,480 --> 01:50:22,060
People hate, people hate Israel.

2949
01:50:23,700 --> 01:50:27,940
Well they're definitely not doing, I don't know

2950
01:50:27,940 --> 01:50:30,000
what the issue is there but that reminds

2951
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:32,200
me of another European story that we're gonna

2952
01:50:32,200 --> 01:50:33,120
mention.

2953
01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:34,380
You're gonna move it right along.

2954
01:50:35,660 --> 01:50:37,420
Unless you want to keep talking about Israel.

2955
01:50:37,660 --> 01:50:39,600
Well I was just, I was thinking of

2956
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:40,520
some witty banter.

2957
01:50:41,420 --> 01:50:42,420
Like what is going on?

2958
01:50:42,440 --> 01:50:43,780
I can't think of anything witty.

2959
01:50:44,400 --> 01:50:46,580
I'm not witty today but let's go with

2960
01:50:46,580 --> 01:50:51,700
the real strange story is the arrest of

2961
01:50:51,700 --> 01:50:53,380
Marine Le Pen.

2962
01:50:53,640 --> 01:50:58,820
Oh man, even her, even other party leaders

2963
01:50:58,820 --> 01:51:00,200
are saying this was bullcrap.

2964
01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:02,520
Yeah I got the clip here it's Eva,

2965
01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:03,400
E-V-A.

2966
01:51:03,820 --> 01:51:05,840
Okay so the lawfare being used against right

2967
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:07,860
-wing politicians in Europe is being taken to

2968
01:51:07,860 --> 01:51:09,240
a whole new level.

2969
01:51:09,860 --> 01:51:12,580
This is your buddy, this is your buddy

2970
01:51:12,580 --> 01:51:15,120
Eva, whose last name I can never pronounce,

2971
01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:15,920
a Dutch girl.

2972
01:51:16,200 --> 01:51:17,220
Oh, Fluttegebrake.

2973
01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:21,100
Flutte, Flutte, Flutte, whatever her name is.

2974
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:24,780
She's very pretty and she's very erudite.

2975
01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:27,620
She kind of dropped off the radar.

2976
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:28,980
She got married.

2977
01:51:29,340 --> 01:51:31,200
Yeah I noticed that but she's back with

2978
01:51:31,200 --> 01:51:35,300
a vengeance with this Marine Le Pen story.

2979
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:36,520
If I could give her a little bit

2980
01:51:36,520 --> 01:51:38,860
of advice I'd say cut your hair a

2981
01:51:38,860 --> 01:51:39,540
little bit shorter.

2982
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:45,080
It detracts from her obvious deep knowledge of

2983
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:45,580
affairs.

2984
01:51:45,980 --> 01:51:46,880
Okay so the lawfare...

2985
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:48,140
Well she could put a ponytail up and

2986
01:51:48,140 --> 01:51:48,860
that would be fine.

2987
01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:53,100
Yes, I'm just thinking from a television standpoint

2988
01:51:53,100 --> 01:51:54,840
you know this just it's like...

2989
01:51:54,840 --> 01:51:57,220
Yeah she is distractingly pretty and the hair

2990
01:51:57,220 --> 01:51:57,820
doesn't help.

2991
01:51:57,860 --> 01:51:58,280
Exactly.

2992
01:51:58,540 --> 01:52:00,520
Okay so the lawfare being used against right

2993
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:02,520
-wing politicians in Europe is being taken to

2994
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:03,860
a whole new level.

2995
01:52:04,380 --> 01:52:06,860
Marine Le Pen, the leader of Rassemblau Nationale,

2996
01:52:07,260 --> 01:52:09,980
the populist right-wing party in France, has

2997
01:52:09,980 --> 01:52:11,820
just been sentenced to four years in jail

2998
01:52:11,820 --> 01:52:14,440
of which two suspended and has been barred

2999
01:52:14,440 --> 01:52:17,320
from partaking in French politics for the next

3000
01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:17,900
five years.

3001
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:20,400
That means that she's been barred from running

3002
01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:23,380
against Macron for the position of the president

3003
01:52:23,380 --> 01:52:23,980
of France.

3004
01:52:24,860 --> 01:52:30,080
She's been convicted for allegedly embezzling European funds,

3005
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:34,120
misusing European funds for her national fraction of

3006
01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:36,100
the party instead of the European fraction of

3007
01:52:36,100 --> 01:52:36,520
the party.

3008
01:52:36,820 --> 01:52:38,720
Which I dare to bet money on the

3009
01:52:38,720 --> 01:52:42,120
fact that if any judicial system in any

3010
01:52:42,120 --> 01:52:45,300
European country would launch an investigation into left

3011
01:52:45,300 --> 01:52:47,500
-wing parties to see if they were doing

3012
01:52:47,500 --> 01:52:50,320
that that let's say 80% of them

3013
01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:52,580
would be found guilty of the same thing

3014
01:52:52,580 --> 01:52:54,640
because I used to work in a European

3015
01:52:54,640 --> 01:52:57,920
Parliament and trust me this is something that

3016
01:52:57,920 --> 01:52:59,560
I think happens a lot more than they

3017
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:00,380
want you to believe.

3018
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:02,880
And of course we will never know that

3019
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:05,540
because they don't launch investigations into left-wing

3020
01:53:05,540 --> 01:53:07,920
parties because the whole aim of this is

3021
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:10,140
to crush the right-wing in Europe because

3022
01:53:10,140 --> 01:53:13,160
we're growing too fast and so the system,

3023
01:53:13,580 --> 01:53:15,400
the cabal, needs to come down on us

3024
01:53:15,400 --> 01:53:16,300
to another way.

3025
01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:17,540
And what do they do?

3026
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:18,620
Lawfare.

3027
01:53:19,840 --> 01:53:22,180
They're banning us, they're banning our parties, they're

3028
01:53:22,180 --> 01:53:24,320
banning politicians from running.

3029
01:53:24,700 --> 01:53:27,020
They're convicting us of hate speech and hate

3030
01:53:27,020 --> 01:53:27,420
crimes.

3031
01:53:27,700 --> 01:53:29,280
That's how they do it, that's a new

3032
01:53:29,280 --> 01:53:29,740
strategy.

3033
01:53:30,520 --> 01:53:33,120
And you know like think about it for

3034
01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:35,840
a second, embezzlement of European funds, Ursula von

3035
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:37,860
der Leyen, the president of the European Commission,

3036
01:53:38,300 --> 01:53:40,940
is under investigation for corruption because she closed

3037
01:53:40,940 --> 01:53:44,680
a 50, no 35 billion euro deal with

3038
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:47,280
the CEO of Pfizer via text message and

3039
01:53:47,280 --> 01:53:49,140
we still don't have those text messages but

3040
01:53:49,140 --> 01:53:51,040
she is the president of the European Commission

3041
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:53,380
and Marine Le Pen is not allowed to

3042
01:53:53,380 --> 01:53:54,860
run as a president of France.

3043
01:53:55,040 --> 01:53:57,920
If that is not two-tier politics I

3044
01:53:57,920 --> 01:53:58,680
don't know what is.

3045
01:53:58,960 --> 01:54:00,840
Well who's this we she's talking about?

3046
01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:03,700
Is she a political member of a party?

3047
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:06,460
She's far right.

3048
01:54:06,740 --> 01:54:09,500
Well speaking of that here's a this is

3049
01:54:09,500 --> 01:54:14,100
I think this is a France 24, they

3050
01:54:14,100 --> 01:54:16,200
give a little more detail on this story.

3051
01:54:16,340 --> 01:54:19,420
Arriving at the National Rally headquarters, Jordan Bardella

3052
01:54:19,420 --> 01:54:22,060
was tight-lipped but Marine Le Pen's protégé

3053
01:54:22,060 --> 01:54:24,280
took to X to post that French democracy

3054
01:54:24,280 --> 01:54:27,360
was executed on Monday with the unjust verdict.

3055
01:54:27,860 --> 01:54:30,140
As president of the party, Bardella now looks

3056
01:54:30,140 --> 01:54:32,060
set to become its de facto candidate for

3057
01:54:32,060 --> 01:54:35,100
the 2027 election after a court barred Le

3058
01:54:35,100 --> 01:54:37,000
Pen from running for office for five years

3059
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:39,140
with immediate effect for embezzlement.

3060
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:41,640
The National Rally and right-wing allies have

3061
01:54:41,640 --> 01:54:44,240
accused the court of overreach against a candidate

3062
01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:46,440
whom polls show is among the frontrunners.

3063
01:54:48,760 --> 01:54:51,440
The court is stating its political will, not

3064
01:54:51,440 --> 01:54:55,400
its judicial or legal will, but its political

3065
01:54:55,400 --> 01:54:55,760
will.

3066
01:54:56,740 --> 01:54:58,680
It's the first time in 40 or 50

3067
01:54:58,680 --> 01:55:00,960
years that I've seen this written down in

3068
01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:03,620
black and white and that's what's absolutely unbelievable.

3069
01:55:05,020 --> 01:55:08,200
But political rivals such as communist Fabien Roussel

3070
01:55:08,200 --> 01:55:10,960
posted that justice was justice and must be

3071
01:55:10,960 --> 01:55:13,040
the same for everyone, reminding that Le Pen

3072
01:55:13,040 --> 01:55:16,120
herself regularly called for a firmer justice system.

3073
01:55:16,460 --> 01:55:18,460
Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his far-left France

3074
01:55:18,460 --> 01:55:21,220
Unbowed Party though seemed less comfortable with the

3075
01:55:21,220 --> 01:55:23,860
verdict, emphasizing that they would rather fight the

3076
01:55:23,860 --> 01:55:25,900
National Rally at the ballot box than in

3077
01:55:25,900 --> 01:55:26,240
court.

3078
01:55:26,740 --> 01:55:29,480
Outside of France, Le Pen's far-right allies

3079
01:55:29,480 --> 01:55:32,680
rallied around her, including Hungary's Viktor Orban who

3080
01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:35,120
declared I am Marine in support, and the

3081
01:55:35,120 --> 01:55:37,560
Netherlands Geert Verders who said he still believed

3082
01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:38,680
in her becoming president.

3083
01:55:39,120 --> 01:55:42,640
The Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov meanwhile accused more

3084
01:55:42,640 --> 01:55:46,000
and more European capitals of violating democratic norms.

3085
01:55:46,300 --> 01:55:48,080
Le Pen has a long history of political

3086
01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:50,420
and financial support from Moscow.

3087
01:55:52,840 --> 01:55:55,380
Of course, of course you have to throw

3088
01:55:55,380 --> 01:55:56,140
that in there.

3089
01:55:56,520 --> 01:55:58,400
She's been financed by Putin.

3090
01:55:59,180 --> 01:56:04,620
You know, ever since the earthquake in Myanmar,

3091
01:56:05,180 --> 01:56:07,920
formerly known as Burma, from Burma to Bangkok,

3092
01:56:08,120 --> 01:56:09,400
which would have been a much better headline,

3093
01:56:10,240 --> 01:56:15,140
the white Christian nationalist eschatological podcasts have gotten

3094
01:56:15,140 --> 01:56:16,080
all heated up.

3095
01:56:17,480 --> 01:56:21,620
And there is a a growing concern, or

3096
01:56:21,620 --> 01:56:25,180
a growing suspicion I should say, that the

3097
01:56:25,180 --> 01:56:27,920
Antichrist might be Emmanuel Macron.

3098
01:56:30,860 --> 01:56:32,120
Married to a dude.

3099
01:56:32,540 --> 01:56:35,660
Well, it doesn't help his case.

3100
01:56:35,860 --> 01:56:37,000
Let's put it that way.

3101
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:38,640
Married to a dude.

3102
01:56:38,660 --> 01:56:40,080
The Antichrist is Macron.

3103
01:56:40,360 --> 01:56:41,360
I like it.

3104
01:56:42,380 --> 01:56:44,780
That's hilarious bullcrap.

3105
01:56:45,160 --> 01:56:46,980
By the way, and somebody did point out,

3106
01:56:47,080 --> 01:56:48,720
one of our producers pointed out, there is

3107
01:56:48,720 --> 01:56:52,500
a giant fault that runs right through Burma.

3108
01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:54,060
There is, yes, I saw that.

3109
01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:55,780
He sent us a fault map, a link

3110
01:56:55,780 --> 01:56:58,300
to a fault maps, and yeah, those are

3111
01:56:58,300 --> 01:56:58,840
all the big faults.

3112
01:56:58,980 --> 01:57:01,320
He doesn't even, and that's just the giant

3113
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:01,700
faults.

3114
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:03,760
The little faults are all over the place,

3115
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:04,860
and that wasn't on that map.

3116
01:57:04,860 --> 01:57:07,000
Let's face it, the biggest fault is us,

3117
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:07,260
brother.

3118
01:57:07,420 --> 01:57:07,940
We're the fault.

3119
01:57:08,380 --> 01:57:09,400
We are the fault.

3120
01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:12,580
Hey, with that, I want to thank you

3121
01:57:12,580 --> 01:57:13,680
for your currency in the morning.

3122
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:15,600
To you, the man who put the C

3123
01:57:15,600 --> 01:57:17,120
in Amcan.

3124
01:57:17,460 --> 01:57:18,920
Say hello to my friend on the other

3125
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:21,180
end, the one and only Mr. John C.

3126
01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:21,640
DeMora.

3127
01:57:25,060 --> 01:57:26,500
Seamless and raffling the air, so there's no

3128
01:57:26,500 --> 01:57:27,580
more names and heights out there.

3129
01:57:29,620 --> 01:57:30,980
Hello trolls, let me count you.

3130
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:33,040
Here we go, here we go, here we

3131
01:57:33,040 --> 01:57:33,240
go.

3132
01:57:34,940 --> 01:57:36,200
We're about on track.

3133
01:57:37,460 --> 01:57:41,900
1949 is our troll count for today.

3134
01:57:41,900 --> 01:57:44,780
Okay, so that's pretty good, it's about the

3135
01:57:44,780 --> 01:57:47,340
average, just a tad above the average.

3136
01:57:47,700 --> 01:57:49,820
And these trolls are listening at trollroom.io,

3137
01:57:49,960 --> 01:57:52,900
the modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com.

3138
01:57:53,140 --> 01:57:57,640
Speaking of which, our conversation about the Podfather

3139
01:57:57,640 --> 01:58:00,500
Awards has got legs.

3140
01:58:01,740 --> 01:58:05,780
People are doing AI, Scaramanga's doing AI videos

3141
01:58:05,780 --> 01:58:08,080
of us hosting the Podfather Awards.

3142
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:10,340
We've gotten a lot of, not the greatest

3143
01:58:10,340 --> 01:58:13,100
suggestion, but people are coming in with suggestions.

3144
01:58:13,340 --> 01:58:16,180
I've had people already saying, I want tickets,

3145
01:58:16,300 --> 01:58:16,980
take my money.

3146
01:58:19,780 --> 01:58:21,120
There's something here, John.

3147
01:58:23,700 --> 01:58:24,380
I'm on it.

3148
01:58:26,020 --> 01:58:26,700
All right.

3149
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:28,020
It was a great idea, everybody.

3150
01:58:28,240 --> 01:58:30,700
When you hear those words, you know nothing's

3151
01:58:30,700 --> 01:58:31,200
going to happen.

3152
01:58:31,420 --> 01:58:32,540
Exit strategy is far away.

3153
01:58:32,540 --> 01:58:33,080
That's not true.

3154
01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:35,280
I've been wanting to do these for 10

3155
01:58:35,280 --> 01:58:36,980
years, so I'm right on track.

3156
01:58:37,140 --> 01:58:38,180
The timing is good.

3157
01:58:38,180 --> 01:58:39,540
The timing is perfect.

3158
01:58:41,660 --> 01:58:44,740
You're about, yes, ever since you were 63,

3159
01:58:45,100 --> 01:58:47,200
it's unbelievable, I can't believe we're just about

3160
01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:48,480
- Yeah, I do have a birthday coming

3161
01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:50,100
up, and there's also a big meetup in

3162
01:58:50,100 --> 01:58:54,660
Albany, not Albany, but Oakland at the pizza

3163
01:58:54,660 --> 01:58:55,940
place for my birthday.

3164
01:58:56,460 --> 01:58:57,500
Oh, that's nice.

3165
01:58:57,620 --> 01:58:58,500
Invite everybody there.

3166
01:58:58,640 --> 01:58:59,140
Oh, that's cool.

3167
01:58:59,140 --> 01:59:00,440
It should be on the list for today's

3168
01:59:00,440 --> 01:59:00,620
meetup.

3169
01:59:00,620 --> 01:59:01,460
I think it is.

3170
01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:02,260
I think it is.

3171
01:59:04,160 --> 01:59:05,220
Of course, we- Violetas.

3172
01:59:05,560 --> 01:59:05,960
Violetas.

3173
01:59:06,960 --> 01:59:09,720
We run no agenda, value for value.

3174
01:59:10,340 --> 01:59:11,220
No tariffs.

3175
01:59:11,460 --> 01:59:12,580
We give you the value.

3176
01:59:12,840 --> 01:59:13,140
We give it.

3177
01:59:13,240 --> 01:59:14,400
We just send it out to you.

3178
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:15,600
You can do whatever you want with it.

3179
01:59:15,620 --> 01:59:16,580
You can copy the value.

3180
01:59:16,660 --> 01:59:17,520
You can throw it around.

3181
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:19,020
You can make it your own and pretend

3182
01:59:19,020 --> 01:59:20,660
that you made up all these great things

3183
01:59:20,660 --> 01:59:22,620
and this great information that we gave you.

3184
01:59:22,700 --> 01:59:24,580
You can be really smart at the water

3185
01:59:24,580 --> 01:59:28,040
cooler at work or in the health club,

3186
01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:29,840
wherever you hang out with people.

3187
01:59:30,640 --> 01:59:32,800
When you send value back to us, we

3188
01:59:32,800 --> 01:59:34,280
do not charge you any tariffs.

3189
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:35,600
Not at all.

3190
01:59:35,900 --> 01:59:37,940
We just do one for one, value for

3191
01:59:37,940 --> 01:59:39,960
value, time, talent, or treasure.

3192
01:59:40,640 --> 01:59:42,020
And we- You okay?

3193
01:59:42,780 --> 01:59:43,840
Sound like you fell over.

3194
01:59:44,020 --> 01:59:47,540
No, I just rolled my chair over what

3195
01:59:47,540 --> 01:59:49,360
appeared to be kind of a lump in

3196
01:59:49,360 --> 01:59:49,880
the rug.

3197
01:59:50,340 --> 01:59:50,860
Oh.

3198
01:59:50,940 --> 01:59:52,800
And I made a thunking sound, which then

3199
01:59:52,800 --> 01:59:56,180
transferred onto the- Is Theo looking for

3200
01:59:56,180 --> 01:59:56,740
his hamster?

3201
02:00:00,490 --> 02:00:02,710
Wow, that took a little too long.

3202
02:00:04,170 --> 02:00:05,170
Immediately come to mind.

3203
02:00:06,410 --> 02:00:07,930
We love what our artists do.

3204
02:00:08,010 --> 02:00:09,290
The artists, I have to say, are getting

3205
02:00:09,290 --> 02:00:09,670
better.

3206
02:00:09,930 --> 02:00:12,650
I see the artists also using AI more

3207
02:00:12,650 --> 02:00:15,290
as a tool now instead of just throwing

3208
02:00:15,290 --> 02:00:17,610
stuff in there and hoping something great comes

3209
02:00:17,610 --> 02:00:18,790
out, which usually doesn't.

3210
02:00:19,090 --> 02:00:20,550
We have more and more artists who are

3211
02:00:20,550 --> 02:00:22,990
understanding how to use it, which appears to

3212
02:00:22,990 --> 02:00:24,510
still be the only thing AI is really

3213
02:00:24,510 --> 02:00:30,690
good at is generating stuff, generating images, generating

3214
02:00:30,690 --> 02:00:33,370
video, generating spam messages.

3215
02:00:33,530 --> 02:00:35,230
I was talking to my buddy, Dave Jones,

3216
02:00:35,950 --> 02:00:40,290
and he works in a 100 firm CPA

3217
02:00:40,290 --> 02:00:43,930
firm, and he does the administration.

3218
02:00:44,630 --> 02:00:46,470
He says, this is the worst year ever

3219
02:00:46,470 --> 02:00:50,470
with phishing attacks from spam, and AI is

3220
02:00:50,470 --> 02:00:52,010
really generating a lot of this.

3221
02:00:52,130 --> 02:00:53,030
And it's at scale.

3222
02:00:53,830 --> 02:00:54,590
Oh, that's interesting.

3223
02:00:54,710 --> 02:00:55,290
That makes sense.

3224
02:00:55,390 --> 02:00:57,070
Email is the worst.

3225
02:00:57,470 --> 02:00:58,410
I was like, yeah, that's interesting.

3226
02:00:58,410 --> 02:01:02,490
So AI can help make email worse, but

3227
02:01:02,490 --> 02:01:04,430
can't seem to fix it, or at least

3228
02:01:04,430 --> 02:01:06,270
no one has tried that.

3229
02:01:06,850 --> 02:01:08,630
Well, that would be a nice product.

3230
02:01:08,850 --> 02:01:10,810
That's a product I would be interested in.

3231
02:01:11,450 --> 02:01:13,330
So we want to thank our artists for

3232
02:01:13,330 --> 02:01:14,650
episode 1751.

3233
02:01:14,870 --> 02:01:17,310
We titled that Talking Toilet.

3234
02:01:17,330 --> 02:01:19,130
And we like this one.

3235
02:01:19,410 --> 02:01:21,890
We had some ideas for improvement, but it

3236
02:01:21,890 --> 02:01:25,790
was the piece by GoFox, and it was

3237
02:01:25,790 --> 02:01:26,850
the...

3238
02:01:26,850 --> 02:01:27,270
What do you call them?

3239
02:01:27,590 --> 02:01:28,650
The babushka dolls?

3240
02:01:28,750 --> 02:01:29,290
What do you call them?

3241
02:01:29,970 --> 02:01:30,630
Yeah, babushka.

3242
02:01:30,810 --> 02:01:32,830
The nesting dolls is technically what they are.

3243
02:01:33,030 --> 02:01:34,130
So you had a Twitter doll.

3244
02:01:34,210 --> 02:01:35,370
Nesting Russian dolls.

3245
02:01:35,510 --> 02:01:37,010
Nesting Russian dolls, yes.

3246
02:01:37,110 --> 02:01:37,550
Do you have any?

3247
02:01:37,630 --> 02:01:40,090
I have a whole collection of them, personally.

3248
02:01:40,290 --> 02:01:42,450
I remember having them when I was a

3249
02:01:42,450 --> 02:01:42,710
kid.

3250
02:01:42,830 --> 02:01:43,630
I know we had them.

3251
02:01:43,630 --> 02:01:44,930
I bet my sister still has them.

3252
02:01:44,990 --> 02:01:46,010
I bought them in Russia.

3253
02:01:46,170 --> 02:01:47,470
When I was in Russia, I bought them.

3254
02:01:47,730 --> 02:01:48,790
And how many were there?

3255
02:01:48,790 --> 02:01:50,390
Because I think we had five that fit

3256
02:01:50,390 --> 02:01:51,130
in, and that...

3257
02:01:51,130 --> 02:01:52,130
I have a niner.

3258
02:01:52,510 --> 02:01:52,870
Wow.

3259
02:01:53,130 --> 02:01:53,510
A niner.

3260
02:01:53,550 --> 02:01:54,010
That's huge.

3261
02:01:54,210 --> 02:01:54,910
A niner.

3262
02:01:56,170 --> 02:01:57,230
That's what she said.

3263
02:01:57,550 --> 02:01:58,630
Dvorak's got a niner.

3264
02:01:58,830 --> 02:01:59,430
It's huge.

3265
02:02:00,070 --> 02:02:00,650
It's beautiful.

3266
02:02:01,750 --> 02:02:02,550
It was a good piece.

3267
02:02:02,670 --> 02:02:04,890
It was the Twitter to X to Grok.

3268
02:02:06,070 --> 02:02:07,870
Cute little faces.

3269
02:02:08,070 --> 02:02:09,590
We thought it would have been even better

3270
02:02:09,590 --> 02:02:11,450
if there was a little Elon that could

3271
02:02:11,450 --> 02:02:13,350
fit inside the Grok, if I recall our

3272
02:02:13,350 --> 02:02:13,650
conversation.

3273
02:02:13,650 --> 02:02:14,010
Yes, there's always...

3274
02:02:14,010 --> 02:02:16,710
In all these nesting dolls, there's always one

3275
02:02:16,710 --> 02:02:17,950
little solid piece.

3276
02:02:18,070 --> 02:02:19,170
It's a little dinky thing.

3277
02:02:19,330 --> 02:02:19,550
That's the last one.

3278
02:02:19,550 --> 02:02:20,390
That always gets lost.

3279
02:02:20,490 --> 02:02:21,610
You give one of these things to a

3280
02:02:21,610 --> 02:02:24,650
kid, somehow that little one is gone.

3281
02:02:24,690 --> 02:02:24,890
Or the Dvorak.

3282
02:02:24,890 --> 02:02:26,230
The dog's chewing on it.

3283
02:02:26,350 --> 02:02:27,390
I mean, it's something.

3284
02:02:27,810 --> 02:02:28,490
The little one.

3285
02:02:28,670 --> 02:02:30,810
And the little one, a little Biddy Musk

3286
02:02:30,810 --> 02:02:35,210
would have been perfect, and also the balance

3287
02:02:35,210 --> 02:02:36,670
of the piece, it could have been shifted

3288
02:02:36,670 --> 02:02:37,570
to the left, I think.

3289
02:02:37,570 --> 02:02:38,170
To the left a little bit.

3290
02:02:38,310 --> 02:02:39,130
Yeah, just a tad.

3291
02:02:39,290 --> 02:02:39,970
Even I agree.

3292
02:02:39,970 --> 02:02:41,470
It's not quite composed perfectly.

3293
02:02:42,090 --> 02:02:45,250
And the Kareem Dvorak color of the letters

3294
02:02:45,250 --> 02:02:46,090
was not great.

3295
02:02:46,990 --> 02:02:47,170
Even...

3296
02:02:47,170 --> 02:02:47,830
Could have been more contrasty.

3297
02:02:47,830 --> 02:02:48,270
Could have been more contrasty.

3298
02:02:48,390 --> 02:02:49,090
Or have an outline.

3299
02:02:49,230 --> 02:02:50,150
Black outline helps.

3300
02:02:50,170 --> 02:02:52,470
But that's just...

3301
02:02:52,470 --> 02:02:54,390
I mean, we're just giving you a little

3302
02:02:54,390 --> 02:02:55,170
minor points.

3303
02:02:55,190 --> 02:02:55,710
It was good.

3304
02:02:56,170 --> 02:02:57,510
There were other things we looked at.

3305
02:02:57,550 --> 02:02:59,590
You liked the Take Our Money, the Canadian,

3306
02:03:00,730 --> 02:03:02,690
the Mad Canadian with cash in his hand.

3307
02:03:02,690 --> 02:03:04,270
Yeah, I did like the Mad Canadian holding

3308
02:03:04,270 --> 02:03:05,090
a bunch of cash.

3309
02:03:05,190 --> 02:03:09,370
You used the Angry Baby stomping around.

3310
02:03:09,390 --> 02:03:10,770
I liked the Angry Baby too, yeah.

3311
02:03:10,770 --> 02:03:11,670
You like Angry Babies.

3312
02:03:12,030 --> 02:03:13,150
You liked the Angry Baby.

3313
02:03:13,590 --> 02:03:15,190
That was Capitalist Agenda.

3314
02:03:18,230 --> 02:03:21,250
And Triple J did a deal-no-deal

3315
02:03:21,250 --> 02:03:24,770
with the Taliban, but we didn't think anyone

3316
02:03:24,770 --> 02:03:25,930
would really get that one.

3317
02:03:26,270 --> 02:03:27,210
No one's going to get it.

3318
02:03:27,490 --> 02:03:28,450
No one's going to get that.

3319
02:03:29,250 --> 02:03:32,310
Triple J also did Alphabet Soup, aha, kind

3320
02:03:32,310 --> 02:03:32,770
of done.

3321
02:03:34,950 --> 02:03:38,270
I think that was it, really, the things

3322
02:03:38,270 --> 02:03:42,250
that we thought were good enough.

3323
02:03:43,190 --> 02:03:44,570
These are all beautiful.

3324
02:03:44,570 --> 02:03:45,550
We appreciate it.

3325
02:03:45,610 --> 02:03:46,950
And I think every single one of them

3326
02:03:46,950 --> 02:03:48,990
gets used in the chapters on the Modern

3327
02:03:48,990 --> 02:03:49,790
Podcast App.

3328
02:03:49,850 --> 02:03:50,410
Give it a try.

3329

02:03:51,990 --> 02:03:52,850
Try out PodVerse.

3331
02:03:52,970 --> 02:03:54,190
Try out Podcast Guru.

3332
02:03:54,410 --> 02:03:55,110
Try out Fountain.

3333
02:03:55,470 --> 02:03:56,830
I don't think you'll be disappointed.

3334
02:03:57,050 --> 02:03:57,790
They're really good.

3335
02:03:57,970 --> 02:04:00,830
And they use the Podcast Index, which I

3336
02:04:00,830 --> 02:04:03,490
might point out, according to a recent survey,

3337
02:04:03,990 --> 02:04:07,210
is the number one index for all podcasts

3338
02:04:07,210 --> 02:04:11,110
above Spotify, above Apple, above YouTube.

3339
02:04:11,350 --> 02:04:11,930
Number one.

3340
02:04:12,310 --> 02:04:13,430
Foam finger number one.

3341
02:04:13,430 --> 02:04:14,510
You know why?

3342
02:04:14,650 --> 02:04:16,950
Because we don't take stuff out.

3343
02:04:18,310 --> 02:04:20,450
It's uncancellable when you're on the Podcast Index.

3344
02:04:21,330 --> 02:04:22,930
This is where you say, hey, that's great,

3345
02:04:23,010 --> 02:04:23,530
congratulations.

3346
02:04:24,790 --> 02:04:25,750
That's fabulous.

3347
02:04:28,750 --> 02:04:29,670
So sincere.

3348
02:04:31,730 --> 02:04:34,810
Let's thank our supporters, who we like to

3349
02:04:34,810 --> 02:04:35,230
call our...

3350
02:04:35,230 --> 02:04:37,030
Do you have a No Agenda plug on

3351
02:04:37,030 --> 02:04:37,590
that page?

3352
02:04:37,630 --> 02:04:39,110
Because that's a lot of people looking at

3353
02:04:39,110 --> 02:04:39,210
it.

3354
02:04:39,310 --> 02:04:40,250
I don't.

3355
02:04:40,770 --> 02:04:41,690
I don't.

3356
02:04:41,830 --> 02:04:41,990
No.

3357
02:04:42,430 --> 02:04:43,410
No, I don't.

3358
02:04:44,190 --> 02:04:44,690
Wouldn't hurt.

3359
02:04:45,870 --> 02:04:46,870
I guess.

3360
02:04:47,330 --> 02:04:49,010
I'm sure it wouldn't hurt.

3361
02:04:50,070 --> 02:04:51,750
I want to thank the people who sent

3362
02:04:51,750 --> 02:04:54,970
us treasure, value in the form of treasure.

3363
02:04:55,150 --> 02:04:58,470
We thank every single person who sends us

3364
02:04:58,470 --> 02:05:00,610
money, $50 or above.

3365
02:05:01,390 --> 02:05:03,910
And in this case, in this particular segment,

3366
02:05:04,030 --> 02:05:05,890
we thank people who have sent us $200

3367
02:05:05,890 --> 02:05:06,630
or more.

3368
02:05:07,070 --> 02:05:09,390
And that makes you not only an associate

3369
02:05:09,390 --> 02:05:11,890
executive producer, which is a credit, is real

3370
02:05:11,890 --> 02:05:13,930
Hollywood credit, can use it anywhere credits are

3371
02:05:13,930 --> 02:05:15,710
accepted, including imdb.com.

3372
02:05:15,990 --> 02:05:17,870
We will also read your note, or most

3373
02:05:17,870 --> 02:05:19,310
of it, depending on how long it is.

3374
02:05:19,570 --> 02:05:21,310
If you come in with $300 or above,

3375
02:05:21,370 --> 02:05:23,670
well, bam, you're an executive producer and we

3376
02:05:23,670 --> 02:05:24,490
will read your note.

3377
02:05:24,850 --> 02:05:26,970
And it's always interesting to see that the

3378
02:05:26,970 --> 02:05:28,690
higher the amount, the shorter the note.

3379
02:05:28,830 --> 02:05:32,230
It's some kind of weird voodoo.

3380
02:05:32,610 --> 02:05:34,350
It always works that way.

3381
02:05:35,030 --> 02:05:37,610
The lower the number, the longer the note.

3382
02:05:38,510 --> 02:05:39,130
What do you think that is?

3383
02:05:39,130 --> 02:05:40,510
Oh, I see what you're talking about.

3384
02:05:40,590 --> 02:05:41,470
Yeah, I know.

3385
02:05:41,470 --> 02:05:42,330
Now you see it.

3386
02:05:44,030 --> 02:05:45,830
So we'll have to truncate some of it.

3387
02:05:45,930 --> 02:05:47,730
We're going to start off with Brent Walker

3388
02:05:47,730 --> 02:05:50,750
in Springfield, Oregon, who comes in.

3389
02:05:50,810 --> 02:05:51,690
Oh, there she is.

3390
02:05:51,730 --> 02:05:53,710
For something I didn't, I didn't see.

3391
02:05:54,330 --> 02:05:55,790
He asks for a de-douching right off

3392
02:05:55,790 --> 02:05:56,130
the bat.

3393
02:05:57,570 --> 02:05:59,210
You've been de-douched.

3394
02:06:01,570 --> 02:06:05,190
And then he says, I'd like a fractal

3395
02:06:05,190 --> 02:06:05,630
jingle.

3396
02:06:06,110 --> 02:06:06,870
Fractal jingle.

3397
02:06:07,050 --> 02:06:09,490
Man, that's, I have the fractal jingle here.

3398
02:06:10,150 --> 02:06:12,870
Then he also asked for an Obama, you

3399
02:06:12,870 --> 02:06:14,530
may, you might die.

3400
02:06:14,830 --> 02:06:17,770
Where's my Obama, you might die.

3401
02:06:18,130 --> 02:06:19,430
And I'd like to, oh, he's going in

3402
02:06:19,430 --> 02:06:20,330
for a Commodore ship.

3403
02:06:20,570 --> 02:06:22,690
He'd like to be known as Commodore Dubs.

3404
02:06:22,950 --> 02:06:24,490
And he says, thank you for your courage.

3405
02:06:24,730 --> 02:06:27,230
It's a fractal jingle.

3406
02:06:27,530 --> 02:06:28,490
You might die.

3407
02:06:28,710 --> 02:06:31,130
Have not heard the fractal jingle in many

3408
02:06:31,130 --> 02:06:31,710
years.

3409
02:06:32,250 --> 02:06:32,750
Yeah, I agree.

3410
02:06:33,030 --> 02:06:33,970
That's a long time.

3411
02:06:34,070 --> 02:06:34,510
Thanks Brent.

3412
02:06:34,630 --> 02:06:35,090
Good one.

3413
02:06:36,870 --> 02:06:40,250
JLGS LLC in Rockport, Texas.

3414
02:06:41,210 --> 02:06:42,890
Sorry for being a douche for the longest

3415
02:06:42,890 --> 02:06:43,330
time.

3416
02:06:43,970 --> 02:06:46,410
Please let me know, let me know Adam,

3417
02:06:46,650 --> 02:06:49,190
let me know Adam, what the name of

3418
02:06:49,190 --> 02:06:52,070
the dentist you went to to get that

3419
02:06:52,070 --> 02:06:53,530
surgery done on your teeth.

3420
02:06:53,690 --> 02:06:56,490
My dad has the same problems for years

3421
02:06:56,490 --> 02:07:00,710
and here in Texas and has been, and

3422
02:07:00,710 --> 02:07:02,170
has been to count.

3423
02:07:02,330 --> 02:07:02,710
I'm sorry.

3424
02:07:02,710 --> 02:07:04,590
He's been to countless doctors with no cure.

3425
02:07:04,950 --> 02:07:07,910
Also to all the aviators that work on

3426
02:07:07,910 --> 02:07:12,390
them, on the teeth and drive them or

3427
02:07:12,390 --> 02:07:13,190
own them.

3428
02:07:13,310 --> 02:07:14,510
I don't think it's the teeth.

3429
02:07:15,130 --> 02:07:15,570
That's what he said.

3430
02:07:16,570 --> 02:07:17,510
Look us up.

3431
02:07:17,570 --> 02:07:20,350
We are in aircraft parts and tooling sales

3432
02:07:20,350 --> 02:07:23,090
company down in Rockport, Texas near Corpus Christi

3433
02:07:23,090 --> 02:07:26,230
plus parts, or I should know, Pius parts,

3434
02:07:26,370 --> 02:07:27,290
P-I-U-S.

3435
02:07:28,010 --> 02:07:29,370
It's the name of my company.

3436
02:07:29,370 --> 02:07:32,110
We have some Cirrus stuff.

3437
02:07:32,990 --> 02:07:33,450
Cirrus?

3438
02:07:33,550 --> 02:07:33,990
What is that?

3439
02:07:34,150 --> 02:07:36,010
That's the kind of airplane I fly.

3440
02:07:36,250 --> 02:07:38,630
It's the plastic airplane with the parachute, Cirrus.

3441
02:07:39,010 --> 02:07:39,930
Oh those things.

3442
02:07:40,070 --> 02:07:40,230
Okay.

3443
02:07:40,330 --> 02:07:44,150
Mostly King Air, a Citation Lear and Challenger

3444
02:07:44,150 --> 02:07:44,690
stuff.

3445
02:07:44,970 --> 02:07:45,230
Nice.

3446
02:07:46,290 --> 02:07:49,050
The Salty Air is really good for these

3447
02:07:49,050 --> 02:07:50,030
parts down here.

3448
02:07:50,150 --> 02:07:50,890
So hurry up.

3449
02:07:52,630 --> 02:07:53,390
They're not.

3450
02:07:53,510 --> 02:07:54,250
He's being cynical.

3451
02:07:54,570 --> 02:07:55,230
He's being very cynical.

3452
02:07:55,930 --> 02:07:56,150
Yeah.

3453
02:07:56,190 --> 02:07:57,130
Salty Air is bad.

3454
02:07:57,130 --> 02:08:00,890
Mitch Ponsford is my periodontist name.

3455
02:08:00,970 --> 02:08:02,650
P-O-N-S-F-O-R-D.

3456
02:08:02,750 --> 02:08:03,910
He's in Burney, Texas.

3457
02:08:04,150 --> 02:08:04,930
Mitch Ponsford.

3458
02:08:05,370 --> 02:08:07,150
Tell him Adam sent you for 10%

3459
02:08:07,150 --> 02:08:08,710
off your first extraction.

3460
02:08:10,370 --> 02:08:13,270
And thank you, J-L-G-S.

3461
02:08:13,350 --> 02:08:17,490
Then we have Cervantes in Topsham, Maine, 3

3462
02:08:17,490 --> 02:08:18,590
-8-0-0-8.

3463
02:08:18,710 --> 02:08:19,110
Nice.

3464
02:08:19,370 --> 02:08:19,750
Nice.

3465
02:08:19,830 --> 02:08:21,030
I see you there with your boob.

3466
02:08:22,450 --> 02:08:23,610
Quick correction for John.

3467
02:08:23,610 --> 02:08:26,430
The correct phrase in retail is the customer

3468
02:08:26,430 --> 02:08:29,410
is always right in matters of taste.

3469
02:08:29,570 --> 02:08:30,130
Yeah.

3470
02:08:30,210 --> 02:08:31,750
I sent him.

3471
02:08:32,930 --> 02:08:34,410
This is bull crap, okay?

3472
02:08:35,250 --> 02:08:35,590
Wow.

3473
02:08:36,330 --> 02:08:37,710
All you have to do is go to

3474
02:08:37,710 --> 02:08:39,430
the wiki page and they document the whole

3475
02:08:39,430 --> 02:08:39,690
thing.

3476
02:08:39,790 --> 02:08:40,750
It goes way back.

3477
02:08:40,870 --> 02:08:42,450
So wiki is true.

3478
02:08:42,790 --> 02:08:45,970
Somebody some years ago put this in matters

3479
02:08:45,970 --> 02:08:49,570
of taste in at the last minute and

3480
02:08:49,570 --> 02:08:50,450
it got around.

3481
02:08:50,450 --> 02:08:55,050
Somebody got around virally as bull crap.

3482
02:08:55,510 --> 02:08:55,990
Really?

3483
02:08:56,470 --> 02:08:58,970
Because people are sending me, I've gotten a

3484
02:08:58,970 --> 02:08:59,670
lot of, is that?

3485
02:08:59,970 --> 02:09:02,050
Go to the wiki page on the customer

3486
02:09:02,050 --> 02:09:02,870
is always right.

3487
02:09:02,930 --> 02:09:03,770
It has a history.

3488
02:09:04,430 --> 02:09:04,910
Okay.

3489
02:09:05,650 --> 02:09:07,870
I mean, so we can't say wiki is

3490
02:09:07,870 --> 02:09:08,430
any truth.

3491
02:09:08,490 --> 02:09:09,250
Is that what you're saying?

3492
02:09:09,550 --> 02:09:12,770
The wiki page documents this and then refers

3493
02:09:12,770 --> 02:09:15,670
to Snopes who also documents this as bullshit.

3494
02:09:16,090 --> 02:09:17,110
I don't know how many times I have

3495
02:09:17,110 --> 02:09:17,610
to say it.

3496
02:09:18,690 --> 02:09:19,290
Hmm.

3497
02:09:19,930 --> 02:09:20,930
Let me ask Grok.

3498
02:09:22,850 --> 02:09:24,430
Grok will probably get it right.

3499
02:09:24,830 --> 02:09:25,370
Let me see.

3500
02:09:26,830 --> 02:09:28,590
The customer is always right is actually a

3501
02:09:28,590 --> 02:09:30,310
shortened version of a longer sentiment.

3502
02:09:30,490 --> 02:09:32,350
The full idea behind it was more nuanced.

3503
02:09:32,510 --> 02:09:34,590
It was popularized in the early 20th century

3504
02:09:34,590 --> 02:09:38,130
by retailers like Harry Gordon Selfridge from Selfridges,

3505
02:09:38,610 --> 02:09:41,930
John Wanamaker, and Marshall Field who used phrases

3506
02:09:41,930 --> 02:09:44,050
like the customer is always right in matters

3507
02:09:44,050 --> 02:09:44,670
of taste.

3508
02:09:45,090 --> 02:09:45,430
No.

3509
02:09:46,190 --> 02:09:47,110
I'm just telling.

3510
02:09:47,210 --> 02:09:47,330
Okay.

3511
02:09:47,450 --> 02:09:47,930
Well, that's.

3512
02:09:48,150 --> 02:09:49,030
Oh, that's slop.

3513
02:09:49,670 --> 02:09:52,270
Hey, now you're talking my language.

3514
02:09:52,350 --> 02:09:52,910
It's slop.

3515
02:09:54,190 --> 02:09:56,050
He goes on to say anyone who's worked

3516
02:09:56,050 --> 02:09:57,810
with the public will understand that the customer

3517
02:09:57,810 --> 02:09:59,710
can't always be right in all things because

3518
02:09:59,710 --> 02:10:00,930
the customer are pricks.

3519
02:10:04,590 --> 02:10:07,010
Anyways, this is now my fourth annual birthday

3520
02:10:07,010 --> 02:10:07,450
donation.

3521
02:10:07,570 --> 02:10:08,690
Happy birthday, John.

3522
02:10:08,810 --> 02:10:09,550
Please add me.

3523
02:10:09,630 --> 02:10:13,030
Cervantes, my daughter, Ayla, who's turning 18, both

3524
02:10:13,030 --> 02:10:15,210
on the fifth and niece, Leona, who's turning

3525
02:10:15,210 --> 02:10:17,470
seven on the fourth on the birthday list

3526
02:10:17,470 --> 02:10:18,090
for this episode.

3527
02:10:18,210 --> 02:10:18,750
They're on there.

3528
02:10:19,550 --> 02:10:22,310
COVID woke me up, and your relentless deconstruction

3529
02:10:22,310 --> 02:10:24,990
has been more a constant caffeine drip that

3530
02:10:25,530 --> 02:10:27,230
keeps waking me up more and more and

3531
02:10:27,230 --> 02:10:29,050
more and more just without the jitters.

3532
02:10:29,550 --> 02:10:31,510
Now I need something that's the midpoint between

3533
02:10:31,510 --> 02:10:35,010
Nazi propaganda and Zionist propaganda, since you guys

3534
02:10:35,010 --> 02:10:37,090
are just a couple of Zionist boomer shills.

3535
02:10:37,690 --> 02:10:37,870
Yeah.

3536
02:10:38,110 --> 02:10:38,830
Love you guys.

3537
02:10:38,830 --> 02:10:40,650
Cervantes, may you never find an exit strategy,

3538
02:10:41,130 --> 02:10:45,090
Cervantes from Topsom, Maine, and he wants a

3539
02:10:45,090 --> 02:10:45,710
Rogan donation.

3540
02:10:45,890 --> 02:10:47,870
Trump, I'm going to come and do the

3541
02:10:47,870 --> 02:10:48,630
climate change.

3542
02:10:48,970 --> 02:10:49,750
Rogan donation.

3543
02:10:50,630 --> 02:10:51,830
I'm going to come.

3544
02:10:52,610 --> 02:10:53,930
Due to climate change.

3545
02:10:54,370 --> 02:10:54,790
All right.

3546
02:10:55,350 --> 02:10:56,410
There you go.

3547
02:10:56,990 --> 02:11:01,710
Tracy Sullivan in Fowler, Indiana, Fowler, comes in

3548
02:11:01,710 --> 02:11:04,250
with 350 bucks, and she has a note,

3549
02:11:04,390 --> 02:11:05,610
which I can click to.

3550
02:11:05,610 --> 02:11:09,110
I have it open, I believe, right here.

3551
02:11:09,410 --> 02:11:10,830
Dear John and Adam, it's been a while

3552
02:11:10,830 --> 02:11:11,950
since our last...

3553
02:11:11,950 --> 02:11:15,710
She has very pretty printing in a card,

3554
02:11:15,810 --> 02:11:19,610
it's almost like comic, it's a comic style.

3555
02:11:20,350 --> 02:11:21,670
It's been a while since...

3556
02:11:21,670 --> 02:11:21,910
It is cute, yes.

3557
02:11:22,430 --> 02:11:22,950
Don't you think?

3558
02:11:23,150 --> 02:11:23,370
Yeah.

3559
02:11:23,490 --> 02:11:25,090
It's been a while since our last donation.

3560
02:11:25,250 --> 02:11:27,130
We finally got out of Illinois and moved

3561
02:11:27,130 --> 02:11:30,610
to a much better place, arrow pointing to

3562
02:11:30,610 --> 02:11:32,330
Indiana with a little heart.

3563
02:11:34,150 --> 02:11:37,150
We plan on checking out the indie meetups

3564
02:11:37,150 --> 02:11:38,030
as soon as we can.

3565
02:11:38,190 --> 02:11:40,550
Well, there's plenty of them, and they're packed

3566
02:11:40,550 --> 02:11:41,510
to the gills.

3567
02:11:42,690 --> 02:11:45,370
This donation also gets me to Dame Hood,

3568
02:11:45,510 --> 02:11:48,890
please dub me Dame Sally Bananas.

3569
02:11:49,050 --> 02:11:50,930
Yay, Sally Bananas.

3570
02:11:51,610 --> 02:11:52,570
Sally Bananas.

3571
02:11:53,170 --> 02:11:56,490
I hope the happy puppy on the card

3572
02:11:56,490 --> 02:11:59,490
gives you good donation karma, little smiley face.

3573
02:11:59,490 --> 02:12:02,330
Thank you, and God bless Dame Sally Bananas,

3574
02:12:02,430 --> 02:12:03,690
Tracy Sullivan, $350.

3575
02:12:05,090 --> 02:12:06,810
Thank you, Tracy, and we'll see you on

3576
02:12:06,810 --> 02:12:07,630
the podium later.

3577
02:12:07,790 --> 02:12:10,230
Sir Amzie is a new Rockford, North Dakota,

3578
02:12:10,370 --> 02:12:16,110
333.33, and he says, oh, please credit

3579
02:12:16,110 --> 02:12:18,610
this donation to my dad, Preston Meyer.

3580
02:12:19,490 --> 02:12:20,610
Am I doing that right here?

3581
02:12:20,670 --> 02:12:21,570
Yes, Preston Meyer.

3582
02:12:21,810 --> 02:12:22,030
Where's that?

3583
02:12:22,190 --> 02:12:23,770
It's at the very top of the note.

3584
02:12:23,890 --> 02:12:25,350
It's probably not visible on here.

3585
02:12:25,350 --> 02:12:27,370
Oh, yeah, I can't see because the note's

3586
02:12:27,370 --> 02:12:28,630
so damn big that it's blocked.

3587
02:12:28,630 --> 02:12:29,170
There it is.

3588
02:12:29,370 --> 02:12:31,130
You probably can't see that on your cell.

3589
02:12:31,550 --> 02:12:38,330
On February 22nd, I saw exactly 333 emails

3590
02:12:38,330 --> 02:12:38,930
in my box.

3591
02:12:39,130 --> 02:12:41,690
Lo and behold, the 333th email was a

3592
02:12:41,690 --> 02:12:43,730
newsletter from No Agenda, which usually end up

3593
02:12:43,730 --> 02:12:44,650
in my spam folder.

3594
02:12:44,810 --> 02:12:46,710
I knew I had to donate.

3595
02:12:47,610 --> 02:12:48,390
This is true.

3596
02:12:49,690 --> 02:12:51,970
On 1750, Adam said that he isn't part

3597
02:12:51,970 --> 02:12:54,330
of a religion and that organized religion is,

3598
02:12:54,590 --> 02:12:55,390
quote, a problem.

3599
02:12:57,350 --> 02:12:59,790
I was raised going to various Protestant churches.

3600
02:12:59,970 --> 02:13:00,790
My mom is a pastor.

3601
02:13:00,910 --> 02:13:02,770
In 2018, I was confirmed a Lutheran.

3602
02:13:02,950 --> 02:13:04,330
I have a good amount of experience with

3603
02:13:04,330 --> 02:13:05,910
Protestantism.

3604
02:13:07,090 --> 02:13:09,190
In my experience, there was always something missing

3605
02:13:09,190 --> 02:13:12,250
with Protestantism, even when reading a verse or

3606
02:13:12,250 --> 02:13:12,530
passage.

3607
02:13:12,690 --> 02:13:14,950
It seemed like Protestants would intentionally miss the

3608
02:13:14,950 --> 02:13:16,610
main message of a passage to fit their

3609
02:13:16,610 --> 02:13:19,270
beliefs, depending on the denomination of how liberal

3610
02:13:19,270 --> 02:13:20,570
-slash-conservative they were.

3611
02:13:20,570 --> 02:13:23,150
There are multiple examples of Protestants not taking

3612
02:13:23,150 --> 02:13:25,710
the words of Jesus literally or explaining them

3613
02:13:25,710 --> 02:13:26,110
away to me.

3614
02:13:26,150 --> 02:13:26,410
Nothing.

3615
02:13:26,630 --> 02:13:27,870
I'm not sure what you're saying here yet,

3616
02:13:27,950 --> 02:13:28,790
but let's read on.

3617
02:13:29,330 --> 02:13:30,910
Two years ago, I met my now-wife,

3618
02:13:30,970 --> 02:13:32,270
who led me to the Catholic Church.

3619
02:13:32,490 --> 02:13:33,730
I was confirmed in December.

3620
02:13:33,850 --> 02:13:35,530
I found my way to Catholicism through the

3621
02:13:35,530 --> 02:13:37,010
2,000-year history of the Church.

3622
02:13:37,430 --> 02:13:39,650
The evidence of miracles and insights into my

3623
02:13:39,650 --> 02:13:42,590
own life preached continues to strengthen my faith,

3624
02:13:42,650 --> 02:13:47,070
along with knowing that Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Francis,

3625
02:13:47,370 --> 02:13:48,270
is not the Pope.

3626
02:13:48,390 --> 02:13:50,170
He's an imposter and a liar.

3627
02:13:51,290 --> 02:13:52,890
So is he agreeing with me here?

3628
02:13:53,010 --> 02:13:53,430
I'm not sure.

3629
02:13:53,430 --> 02:13:55,670
Well, Void Zero is definitely on that bandwagon.

3630
02:13:56,630 --> 02:13:59,170
Adam and John, Christians of no agenda, I

3631
02:13:59,170 --> 02:14:00,730
implore you to look deep into the history

3632
02:14:00,730 --> 02:14:01,290
of the Church.

3633
02:14:01,530 --> 02:14:03,330
Mass of the Ages is a good docuseries

3634
02:14:03,330 --> 02:14:05,450
for understanding the reasons that people leave the

3635
02:14:05,450 --> 02:14:06,410
Catholic Church.

3636
02:14:06,690 --> 02:14:08,590
I also recommend Michael Knowles.

3637
02:14:08,910 --> 02:14:12,210
There are countless conversion stories on YouTube to

3638
02:14:12,210 --> 02:14:12,710
listen to.

3639
02:14:13,050 --> 02:14:15,670
Look up Ann Barnhart's YouTube channel, and the

3640
02:14:15,670 --> 02:14:19,590
Barnhart podcast to understand why Jorge Bergoglio is

3641
02:14:19,590 --> 02:14:20,610
the anti-Pope.

3642
02:14:21,350 --> 02:14:22,290
God bless you both.

3643
02:14:22,370 --> 02:14:23,210
Thank you for your courage.

3644
02:14:23,310 --> 02:14:24,110
I'm praying for you.

3645
02:14:24,350 --> 02:14:25,270
Well, thank you, Preston.

3646
02:14:25,430 --> 02:14:26,910
I'm not quite sure where you went with

3647
02:14:26,910 --> 02:14:27,530
the note, but...

3648
02:14:27,530 --> 02:14:29,970
I think I brought up anti-Pope once

3649
02:14:29,970 --> 02:14:31,090
on this show, and it got nothing but

3650
02:14:31,090 --> 02:14:31,470
grief.

3651
02:14:32,350 --> 02:14:34,130
Hey, listen, this is a donation note.

3652
02:14:34,370 --> 02:14:35,510
It's not you or me, brother.

3653
02:14:35,690 --> 02:14:36,830
We're just saying it.

3654
02:14:37,210 --> 02:14:39,470
Sir Richard in Burbank, California comes in with

3655
02:14:39,470 --> 02:14:40,970
the same amount, 33333.

3656
02:14:41,470 --> 02:14:42,850
And he writes a short note.

3657
02:14:42,870 --> 02:14:45,310
He's in Hiroshima, actually, Japan.

3658
02:14:45,430 --> 02:14:46,810
He's not in Burbank, but that's where he's

3659
02:14:46,810 --> 02:14:46,910
from.

3660
02:14:46,910 --> 02:14:48,770
Is it Hiroshima or Hiroshima?

3661
02:14:49,730 --> 02:14:50,630
I think both ways.

3662
02:14:50,770 --> 02:14:53,230
I've heard it's pronounced Hiroshima and Hiroshima.

3663
02:14:55,350 --> 02:14:57,150
And the Japanese probably...

3664
02:14:57,150 --> 02:15:02,030
I was shocked, shocked, he says, to discover

3665
02:15:02,030 --> 02:15:03,770
that I had not donated to Noah Jenner

3666
02:15:03,770 --> 02:15:05,570
for almost two years.

3667
02:15:07,210 --> 02:15:11,550
Thank you for creating this outstanding product, Sir

3668
02:15:11,550 --> 02:15:13,470
Richard of Burbank, north of the five.

3669
02:15:13,470 --> 02:15:17,270
So he just came in with the 33333,

3670
02:15:17,530 --> 02:15:18,930
and a short note.

3671
02:15:19,050 --> 02:15:19,930
We appreciate that.

3672
02:15:20,210 --> 02:15:24,450
Marty is in Olten in, looks like, Sweden?

3673
02:15:24,990 --> 02:15:25,810
I mean, Switzerland?

3674
02:15:26,030 --> 02:15:26,450
CH?

3675
02:15:26,610 --> 02:15:26,910
Switzerland?

3676
02:15:26,950 --> 02:15:27,550
Yeah, Switzerland.

3677
02:15:27,970 --> 02:15:28,470
Switzerland.

3678
02:15:28,910 --> 02:15:30,030
And Marty said...

3679
02:15:30,030 --> 02:15:30,430
Marty.

3680
02:15:30,610 --> 02:15:30,970
I'm sorry.

3681
02:15:31,190 --> 02:15:31,750
It should be Marty.

3682
02:15:32,150 --> 02:15:33,390
Let's drop...

3683
02:15:33,390 --> 02:15:36,430
Hey, let's drop 333.33 from Marty in

3684
02:15:36,430 --> 02:15:38,790
Olten, a beautiful town in the midst of

3685
02:15:38,790 --> 02:15:39,790
the north of Switzerland.

3686
02:15:40,210 --> 02:15:42,190
I appreciate the groundwork being laid in the

3687
02:15:42,190 --> 02:15:45,630
psychological warfare arsenal from the, in this moment,

3688
02:15:45,930 --> 02:15:49,790
insecurity management to hypophora and emotive conjugation.

3689
02:15:50,250 --> 02:15:51,850
Please, let's extend this list.

3690
02:15:52,330 --> 02:15:53,950
Bertrand Russell was quite the guy.

3691
02:15:54,530 --> 02:15:56,950
John, direct questions about Minecraft to me.

3692
02:15:57,530 --> 02:15:58,730
Adam has my email address.

3693
02:15:58,970 --> 02:16:01,170
I annoyed him in recent months with telling

3694
02:16:01,170 --> 02:16:04,490
him that I've heard John's Bohemian Grove story

3695
02:16:04,490 --> 02:16:05,870
multiple times on the show.

3696
02:16:07,090 --> 02:16:07,610
Why?

3697
02:16:09,970 --> 02:16:11,250
I don't understand.

3698
02:16:12,070 --> 02:16:14,750
Why do people email me about stuff that

3699
02:16:14,750 --> 02:16:15,250
you do?

3700
02:16:16,330 --> 02:16:18,630
Because that's exactly the way the world is

3701
02:16:18,630 --> 02:16:19,570
supposed to be.

3702
02:16:20,950 --> 02:16:23,630
Adam at curry.com for all complaints.

3703
02:16:23,890 --> 02:16:24,790
No, no.

3704
02:16:29,310 --> 02:16:31,209
And he wants this...

3705
02:16:31,209 --> 02:16:34,930
He's celebrating his 40th birthday.

3706
02:16:35,129 --> 02:16:35,850
I know, but I'm looking at it.

3707
02:16:35,850 --> 02:16:38,110
I'm looking for the chant, the donate to

3708
02:16:38,110 --> 02:16:38,790
no agenda.

3709
02:16:39,750 --> 02:16:40,870
How does that go again?

3710
02:16:41,250 --> 02:16:42,430
It's called donate, I think.

3711
02:16:42,530 --> 02:16:45,190
Do you know how many, do you know

3712
02:16:45,190 --> 02:16:47,209
how many there are of donate?

3713
02:16:47,450 --> 02:16:48,370
It was donate.

3714
02:16:49,129 --> 02:16:50,950
It was like a chant, wasn't it?

3715
02:16:51,250 --> 02:16:51,510
Yeah.

3716
02:16:52,049 --> 02:16:53,530
Donate to no agenda.

3717
02:16:55,290 --> 02:16:55,770
Yeah.

3718
02:16:56,030 --> 02:16:56,730
How does it end?

3719
02:16:58,889 --> 02:17:00,190
I don't remember.

3720
02:17:00,309 --> 02:17:02,010
All I remember is it's hypnotic.

3721
02:17:02,490 --> 02:17:05,190
It's very hypnotic, but I...

3722
02:17:05,190 --> 02:17:05,730
Oh, no.

3723
02:17:05,790 --> 02:17:08,150
He's singing a donate, donate.

3724
02:17:08,430 --> 02:17:09,270
He's singing to that one.

3725
02:17:09,549 --> 02:17:11,530
No, there is a different one.

3726
02:17:11,809 --> 02:17:12,490
It's a different one.

3727
02:17:12,570 --> 02:17:12,889
Anyway.

3728
02:17:15,049 --> 02:17:17,430
Celebrating 40 revolutions around the sun on 4

3729
02:17:17,430 --> 02:17:20,410
-8 Gregorian donation chant for jingles.

3730
02:17:20,570 --> 02:17:23,629
Maybe it's on the Gregorian chants.

3731
02:17:25,629 --> 02:17:27,389
I guarantee that's not what it's called.

3732
02:17:27,650 --> 02:17:27,950
No.

3733
02:17:29,110 --> 02:17:29,549
Donate.

3734
02:17:29,790 --> 02:17:32,049
Well, you're just going to get a different

3735
02:17:32,049 --> 02:17:32,430
donate.

3736
02:17:32,490 --> 02:17:33,190
I can't help you.

3737
02:17:33,190 --> 02:17:35,110
I'll give you the donate, John.

3738
02:17:35,570 --> 02:17:35,969
Sorry.

3739
02:17:37,129 --> 02:17:37,930
You've got...

3740
02:17:40,030 --> 02:17:40,430
Donate.

3741
02:17:42,170 --> 02:17:42,570
Donate.

3742
02:17:42,650 --> 02:17:44,010
Yeah, that's Gregorian.

3743
02:17:44,230 --> 02:17:45,330
No, that's not the one.

3744
02:17:47,590 --> 02:17:49,110
Donate to no agenda.

3745
02:17:51,190 --> 02:17:53,650
If I knew the rest of the...

3746
02:17:53,650 --> 02:17:55,049
Yeah, you can sing it yourself, but you

3747
02:17:55,049 --> 02:17:55,650
can't.

3748
02:17:55,730 --> 02:17:56,889
So, Chap Williams is up.

3749
02:17:56,910 --> 02:17:57,990
He's in Edmond, Oklahoma.

3750
02:17:58,410 --> 02:17:59,450
And this is the best one.

3751
02:17:59,530 --> 02:18:01,490
This came in as a check, 333.33.

3752
02:18:01,610 --> 02:18:02,730
There's no note, no nothing.

3753
02:18:02,730 --> 02:18:04,049
So, he gets to double up karma.

3754
02:18:06,309 --> 02:18:07,350
You've got...

3755
02:18:08,549 --> 02:18:09,070
Karma.

3756
02:18:09,830 --> 02:18:10,969
Are you mad?

3757
02:18:11,090 --> 02:18:11,990
Are you mad today?

3758
02:18:12,930 --> 02:18:13,910
I'm angry.

3759
02:18:14,469 --> 02:18:15,410
Are you really?

3760
02:18:15,530 --> 02:18:16,950
You seem a little bit on edge.

3761
02:18:17,570 --> 02:18:17,809
No.

3762
02:18:18,250 --> 02:18:20,290
It's just the EQ.

3763
02:18:21,870 --> 02:18:22,889
Calipigious Colin.

3764
02:18:23,570 --> 02:18:27,190
He's in Willow Spring, North Carolina, 331.25.

3765
02:18:27,510 --> 02:18:29,330
And this donation is in honor of the

3766
02:18:29,330 --> 02:18:31,570
birth of their newest human resource.

3767
02:18:31,570 --> 02:18:33,549
Our sweet baby girl, Chloe Susanna.

3768
02:18:34,030 --> 02:18:36,990
Born on 331.25. Hence the donation.

3769
02:18:37,410 --> 02:18:38,990
Please add her to the birthday list and

3770
02:18:38,990 --> 02:18:40,969
to all the other slaves of my nation

3771
02:18:40,969 --> 02:18:42,330
who are of childbearing age.

3772
02:18:42,549 --> 02:18:43,709
We made another baby.

3773
02:18:43,830 --> 02:18:45,830
Now the ball is in your half court.

3774
02:18:46,730 --> 02:18:48,670
See, there's someone who listens and knows how

3775
02:18:48,670 --> 02:18:49,030
it works.

3776
02:18:49,270 --> 02:18:50,110
Yeah, that's for sure.

3777
02:18:50,250 --> 02:18:51,590
No jingles, no karma.

3778
02:18:51,770 --> 02:18:54,230
Thanks for what you do, says Calipigious Colin

3779
02:18:54,230 --> 02:18:55,730
in Dub Spring, North Carolina.

3780
02:18:55,830 --> 02:18:56,230
Thank you.

3781
02:18:58,250 --> 02:18:59,150
Is that a guy?

3782
02:19:00,510 --> 02:19:01,309
Calipigious Colin?

3783
02:19:01,309 --> 02:19:02,330
I would think so.

3784
02:19:02,889 --> 02:19:04,290
I don't know why you would use that

3785
02:19:04,290 --> 02:19:06,070
phrase as a descriptor.

3786
02:19:07,370 --> 02:19:11,030
Sir Tim in Louisville, Texas, 28743.

3787
02:19:11,850 --> 02:19:15,770
273 donation plus fees for the old man's

3788
02:19:15,770 --> 02:19:16,150
birthday.

3789
02:19:16,709 --> 02:19:20,150
Listen to these boomers and check your recurring

3790
02:19:20,150 --> 02:19:20,950
donations.

3791
02:19:21,650 --> 02:19:23,450
This is his note to the public out

3792
02:19:23,450 --> 02:19:23,709
there.

3793
02:19:24,270 --> 02:19:25,530
In other words, listen to the boomers.

3794
02:19:25,590 --> 02:19:28,469
That would include me and it would include

3795
02:19:28,469 --> 02:19:28,950
Adam.

3796
02:19:29,830 --> 02:19:32,030
He says, mine were cut off, by the

3797
02:19:32,030 --> 02:19:32,190
way.

3798
02:19:32,250 --> 02:19:34,490
His recurring donation was cut off months ago

3799
02:19:34,490 --> 02:19:36,969
and the guilt is eating me alive.

3800
02:19:37,530 --> 02:19:41,270
Sir Tim of the Tarrant Swamplands.

3801
02:19:41,670 --> 02:19:41,889
Wow.

3802
02:19:44,430 --> 02:19:45,370
Where's Tarrant?

3803
02:19:45,790 --> 02:19:46,410
I don't know.

3804
02:19:47,049 --> 02:19:47,810
In Texas?

3805
02:19:48,010 --> 02:19:48,530
I guess.

3806
02:19:49,410 --> 02:19:50,090
I have no idea.

3807
02:19:50,130 --> 02:19:51,810
Now here's the note you're talking about.

3808
02:19:51,810 --> 02:19:59,670
So it is from Kieran Zverner in Brevard,

3809
02:19:59,830 --> 02:20:01,610
North Carolina.

3810
02:20:02,710 --> 02:20:05,630
RoaDux222.22. Starts off by saying, I can

3811
02:20:05,630 --> 02:20:07,230
hear you groaning about the length of this

3812
02:20:07,230 --> 02:20:08,890
note already, but a huge part of what

3813
02:20:08,890 --> 02:20:10,810
makes this show so important is the feedback

3814
02:20:10,810 --> 02:20:12,230
loop between you and the producers.

3815
02:20:12,470 --> 02:20:13,430
It makes us all better.

3816
02:20:13,770 --> 02:20:15,530
I hope you consider this a contribution of

3817
02:20:15,530 --> 02:20:17,010
time, talent, and treasure.

3818
02:20:18,730 --> 02:20:20,710
No, it's theft of time.

3819
02:20:20,710 --> 02:20:21,730
No, it's just a robbery.

3820
02:20:22,090 --> 02:20:22,550
It's a robbery.

3821
02:20:23,210 --> 02:20:25,330
I've been sitting on this note since this

3822
02:20:25,330 --> 02:20:27,630
donation and note since February, waiting to close

3823
02:20:27,630 --> 02:20:29,410
on House and then just being a tightwad

3824
02:20:29,410 --> 02:20:29,930
douchebag.

3825
02:20:30,030 --> 02:20:32,270
So some of this refers to old but

3826
02:20:32,270 --> 02:20:33,910
still highly relevant news.

3827
02:20:34,370 --> 02:20:37,550
And then he's talking about the laugh tale.

3828
02:20:37,710 --> 02:20:41,330
He's talking about Michio Kaku.

3829
02:20:42,510 --> 02:20:44,470
Then he has something to say about our

3830
02:20:44,470 --> 02:20:47,450
analysis on climate change clips, biodiversity.

3831
02:20:48,510 --> 02:20:51,270
Brother, there's no way we can read this.

3832
02:20:51,390 --> 02:20:52,050
There's just no way.

3833
02:20:52,250 --> 02:20:52,550
This is a 10-pager.

3834
02:20:52,710 --> 02:20:54,510
It really is super, super helpful.

3835
02:20:54,510 --> 02:20:56,050
He even goes on to GLP1.

3836
02:20:56,570 --> 02:20:57,390
Okay, that's it.

3837
02:20:57,490 --> 02:20:58,950
After all, I should add that I love

3838
02:20:58,950 --> 02:20:59,350
the show.

3839
02:20:59,790 --> 02:21:01,690
Since I think producer age is of interest

3840
02:21:01,690 --> 02:21:03,390
to you, I'll also mention that we're both

3841
02:21:03,390 --> 02:21:03,850
28.

3842
02:21:04,010 --> 02:21:06,210
I started listening in December of 2021 and

3843
02:21:06,210 --> 02:21:07,650
promptly hit my wife in the mouth.

3844
02:21:08,030 --> 02:21:08,930
We came for Adam.

3845
02:21:09,250 --> 02:21:10,290
We stayed for John.

3846
02:21:10,890 --> 02:21:12,190
It makes me feel special.

3847
02:21:12,950 --> 02:21:15,030
My parents are a bit tougher than her,

3848
02:21:15,150 --> 02:21:16,130
but I'm trying.

3849
02:21:16,130 --> 02:21:18,890
Anyway, we rarely missed a show since, even

3850
02:21:18,890 --> 02:21:20,850
while living off the grid in the cloud

3851
02:21:20,850 --> 02:21:23,270
forest in Ecuador for six months in 2023.

3852
02:21:24,290 --> 02:21:26,710
We climbed mountains to get service and download

3853
02:21:26,710 --> 02:21:27,630
the latest show.

3854
02:21:28,150 --> 02:21:30,390
Okay, that is very cool.

3855
02:21:30,770 --> 02:21:31,630
Keep up the good work.

3856
02:21:32,070 --> 02:21:32,570
What does he do?

3857
02:21:33,490 --> 02:21:35,430
When they were living in Ecuador, they climbed

3858
02:21:35,430 --> 02:21:37,230
up a mountain to get service to download

3859
02:21:37,230 --> 02:21:37,830
the episode.

3860
02:21:38,070 --> 02:21:38,990
Oh, wow.

3861
02:21:39,190 --> 02:21:40,870
That's dedication right there.

3862
02:21:40,930 --> 02:21:41,690
Yeah, I like it.

3863
02:21:41,950 --> 02:21:43,070
So thank you very much.

3864
02:21:43,150 --> 02:21:43,730
We appreciate it.

3865
02:21:43,730 --> 02:21:44,590
That should have been at the top.

3866
02:21:45,270 --> 02:21:48,090
That's the lead, we call it.

3867
02:21:48,830 --> 02:21:51,230
And Kiernan asked for They're Eating the Dogs,

3868
02:21:51,350 --> 02:21:53,330
followed by Don't Be So Flippant, Man.

3869
02:21:54,190 --> 02:21:55,110
Now, this is interesting.

3870
02:21:55,350 --> 02:21:56,910
I went looking for Don't Be So Flippant.

3871
02:21:57,010 --> 02:21:58,250
Do you know that that never was a

3872
02:21:58,250 --> 02:21:58,530
jingle?

3873
02:21:59,170 --> 02:22:00,130
Don't Be So Flippant?

3874
02:22:00,470 --> 02:22:01,930
I never heard it as a jingle.

3875
02:22:02,310 --> 02:22:04,230
No, but I clipped it just for him

3876
02:22:04,230 --> 02:22:06,110
because the long note and I knew we

3877
02:22:06,110 --> 02:22:07,010
weren't going to read it.

3878
02:22:08,170 --> 02:22:10,230
Annie says, P.S. It was great to

3879
02:22:10,230 --> 02:22:12,750
hear Mimi on the old-fashioned On Purpose

3880
02:22:12,750 --> 02:22:13,270
podcast.

3881
02:22:13,890 --> 02:22:14,750
She's so cool.

3882
02:22:15,010 --> 02:22:15,990
Did Mimi do the podcast?

3883
02:22:16,910 --> 02:22:18,450
Yeah, she does a lot of podcasts that

3884
02:22:18,450 --> 02:22:21,670
promote the Too Many Eggs book, which is

3885
02:22:21,670 --> 02:22:24,510
also available for free at TooManyEggs.com.

3886
02:22:24,790 --> 02:22:26,070
They're Eating the Dogs.

3887
02:22:26,210 --> 02:22:27,790
Don't Be So Flippant, Man.

3888
02:22:30,310 --> 02:22:31,690
I'm glad I got that one.

3889
02:22:31,750 --> 02:22:32,730
I got to play that one one more

3890
02:22:32,730 --> 02:22:33,030
time.

3891
02:22:33,310 --> 02:22:33,750
Anonymous.

3892
02:22:34,130 --> 02:22:34,530
Hold on.

3893
02:22:34,670 --> 02:22:36,290
Don't Be So Flippant, Man.

3894
02:22:36,290 --> 02:22:37,170
Got to goot karma.

3895
02:22:37,330 --> 02:22:37,670
Goot karma.

3896
02:22:37,730 --> 02:22:40,410
You've got karma.

3897
02:22:41,990 --> 02:22:43,030
Anonymous comes in.

3898
02:22:43,110 --> 02:22:44,090
I'm lucky here.

3899
02:22:44,230 --> 02:22:46,310
220-222, that came in as a check.

3900
02:22:46,950 --> 02:22:50,350
So, there's no jingles, no karma involved and

3901
02:22:50,350 --> 02:22:50,930
no note.

3902
02:22:51,350 --> 02:22:52,150
So, give them a double up.

3903
02:22:52,270 --> 02:22:53,990
Double up karma coming your way, Anonymous.

3904
02:22:54,210 --> 02:22:57,370
You've got karma.

3905
02:22:59,150 --> 02:23:02,390
And there's Sean Holman from Noblesville, Indiana to

3906
02:23:02,390 --> 02:23:03,230
1911.

3907
02:23:03,230 --> 02:23:05,530
1911 is the number because he says, don't

3908
02:23:05,530 --> 02:23:06,470
be a juice bag.

3909
02:23:06,890 --> 02:23:11,010
Visit StealthArms.net and design your own 1911

3910
02:23:11,010 --> 02:23:12,090
platypus today.

3911
02:23:12,330 --> 02:23:14,410
It takes double stack glock mags.

3912
02:23:15,150 --> 02:23:16,130
Jesus is king.

3913
02:23:20,300 --> 02:23:22,480
No, I should put a Stealth.

3914
02:23:22,560 --> 02:23:23,580
Okay, StealthArms.

3915
02:23:23,700 --> 02:23:23,900
Okay.

3916
02:23:24,220 --> 02:23:25,280
Yeah, StealthArms.net.

3917
02:23:25,300 --> 02:23:27,720
C.E. Martin in Clarksville, Indiana.

3918
02:23:27,880 --> 02:23:28,960
210-60.

3919
02:23:30,120 --> 02:23:31,840
Dear John and Adam, please accept my donation.

3920
02:23:31,960 --> 02:23:33,640
No agenda in the amount of 210-60.

3921
02:23:33,640 --> 02:23:37,820
Cobbled together from 2025 book royalties and a

3922
02:23:37,820 --> 02:23:40,520
little bit of my paltry VA disability pay

3923
02:23:40,520 --> 02:23:42,300
to round things out.

3924
02:23:42,860 --> 02:23:44,780
I'm making this donation as a way to

3925
02:23:44,780 --> 02:23:47,740
say thank you for your content from 2012

3926
02:23:47,740 --> 02:23:49,440
to roughly 2019.

3927
02:23:51,140 --> 02:23:54,340
I wrote and self-published on Amazon, Apple,

3928
02:23:54,480 --> 02:23:58,660
Nook, Smashwords, and several other platforms.

3929
02:23:59,120 --> 02:23:59,220
Wow.

3930
02:23:59,260 --> 02:24:00,380
15 novels.

3931
02:24:00,600 --> 02:24:01,240
Wow.

3932
02:24:01,260 --> 02:24:02,360
That's a little more productive than me.

3933
02:24:02,360 --> 02:24:06,080
And a number of shorter works, primarily in

3934
02:24:06,080 --> 02:24:09,380
the men's adventure supernatural thriller genre.

3935
02:24:09,800 --> 02:24:10,040
Oh.

3936
02:24:10,480 --> 02:24:12,380
I took a break from writing in 2020

3937
02:24:12,380 --> 02:24:15,340
after a series of unfortunate incidents, including a

3938
02:24:15,340 --> 02:24:18,920
car wreck, falling down some stairs, treatment and

3939
02:24:18,920 --> 02:24:23,960
surgery for my daughter's scoliosis, FOXVID-19, et

3940
02:24:23,960 --> 02:24:24,560
cetera.

3941
02:24:25,480 --> 02:24:25,900
FOVID.

3942
02:24:26,420 --> 02:24:27,260
I'm sorry.

3943
02:24:27,520 --> 02:24:28,140
Mispronounced.

3944
02:24:28,560 --> 02:24:29,180
FOVID.

3945
02:24:29,260 --> 02:24:30,380
F-A-U-X-VID.

3946
02:24:30,620 --> 02:24:31,240
FOVID.

3947
02:24:31,240 --> 02:24:31,940
Instead of COVID.

3948
02:24:32,060 --> 02:24:32,320
Get it?

3949
02:24:32,780 --> 02:24:35,020
I've considered returning to the writing craft several

3950
02:24:35,020 --> 02:24:40,140
times, but work and my deteriorating health always

3951
02:24:40,140 --> 02:24:41,260
seems to block my path.

3952
02:24:41,660 --> 02:24:44,120
Somehow, without any advertising or promotion, my books

3953
02:24:44,120 --> 02:24:46,580
have started selling again in 2025 without any

3954
02:24:46,580 --> 02:24:48,400
promotion or effort on my part.

3955
02:24:48,820 --> 02:24:49,540
It's not a lot.

3956
02:24:49,640 --> 02:24:50,860
So, by the way, you used the word

3957
02:24:50,860 --> 02:24:51,340
promotion.

3958
02:24:51,820 --> 02:24:52,620
Too many times.

3959
02:24:52,820 --> 02:24:53,520
You made a mistake.

3960
02:24:54,880 --> 02:24:56,480
I hate it when that happens.

3961
02:24:56,880 --> 02:24:58,620
It's not a lot so far, but enough

3962
02:24:58,620 --> 02:25:01,220
to make a contribution to the greatest podcasting

3963
02:25:01,220 --> 02:25:01,500
universe.

3964
02:25:01,760 --> 02:25:03,740
Thank you for your twice-weekly shows, which

3965
02:25:03,740 --> 02:25:07,540
drown out my military grade tinnitus.

3966
02:25:08,160 --> 02:25:08,580
Tinnitus.

3967
02:25:08,940 --> 02:25:09,240
Tinnitus.

3968
02:25:10,080 --> 02:25:11,800
Oh, yes, I know.

3969
02:25:11,940 --> 02:25:12,300
Tinnitus.

3970
02:25:12,420 --> 02:25:15,320
It's pronounced tinnitus, but I pronounce it tinnitus.

3971
02:25:15,440 --> 02:25:15,860
That's wrong.

3972
02:25:16,940 --> 02:25:18,380
But it's still the same word.

3973
02:25:18,980 --> 02:25:20,920
And take my mind off my chronic pain

3974
02:25:20,920 --> 02:25:22,760
while I'm working on my day job and

3975
02:25:22,760 --> 02:25:25,140
for more about my writing or my never

3976
02:25:25,140 --> 02:25:28,080
-ending battles with the VA, check out my

3977
02:25:28,080 --> 02:25:34,200
author's blog, troglodad, T-R-O-G-L

3978
02:25:34,200 --> 02:25:37,620
-O-D-A-D, troglodad.info, as it

3979
02:25:37,620 --> 02:25:39,820
rises from the ashes of abandonment.

3980
02:25:40,200 --> 02:25:42,760
Like the mighty phoenix this week, assuming I

3981
02:25:42,760 --> 02:25:44,940
can remember how to update the DNS.

3982
02:25:47,200 --> 02:25:48,760
Good promotion there.

3983
02:25:50,240 --> 02:25:51,880
Get the DNS set up for your promotion.

3984
02:25:51,880 --> 02:25:52,420
Could have been better.

3985
02:25:53,180 --> 02:25:57,420
Coming in with $204.03 is Gigawatt Coffee

3986
02:25:57,420 --> 02:25:59,280
Roasters from Bensonville, Illinois.

3987
02:25:59,460 --> 02:26:01,080
That's our buddy, Eli the Coffee Guy.

3988
02:26:01,260 --> 02:26:02,980
He says, can I get a jobs karma

3989
02:26:02,980 --> 02:26:05,280
for the incredible new team member we just

3990
02:26:05,280 --> 02:26:05,600
hired?

3991
02:26:05,820 --> 02:26:06,760
John, they're growing.

3992
02:26:07,540 --> 02:26:08,300
This is proof.

3993
02:26:08,540 --> 02:26:11,560
American coffee company right there in Bensonville, Illinois.

3994
02:26:11,700 --> 02:26:13,060
Who knows where they get the beans from,

3995
02:26:13,580 --> 02:26:16,820
but it's an American company by American from

3996
02:26:16,820 --> 02:26:18,980
Gigawatt Coffee Roasters.

3997
02:26:19,140 --> 02:26:19,520
So they're growing.

3998
02:26:19,620 --> 02:26:20,460
They got a team member.

3999
02:26:20,460 --> 02:26:22,560
A huge thank you to all the producers

4000
02:26:22,560 --> 02:26:24,860
in Gitmo Nation who fuel their day with

4001
02:26:24,860 --> 02:26:25,360
Gigawatt.

4002
02:26:25,640 --> 02:26:27,860
You've helped us grow, and that means jobs

4003
02:26:27,860 --> 02:26:29,140
saved or created.

4004
02:26:31,360 --> 02:26:34,020

Stay caffeinated, says Eli the Coffee Guy.

4009
02:26:44,760 --> 02:26:48,160
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4010
02:26:48,160 --> 02:26:49,820
Let's vote for jobs.

4011
02:26:51,340 --> 02:26:51,980
Okay.

4012
02:26:54,820 --> 02:26:59,500
Gina Petaris in FV, North Carolina.

4013
02:27:01,340 --> 02:27:02,620
Fuquay Varina.

4014
02:27:02,800 --> 02:27:03,060
I don't know.

4015
02:27:03,140 --> 02:27:04,120
It's Fuquay.

4016
02:27:04,640 --> 02:27:05,280
Fuquay.

4017
02:27:05,280 --> 02:27:05,600
Fuquay.

4018
02:27:06,240 --> 02:27:06,880
Fuquay.

4019
02:27:06,880 --> 02:27:07,500
200 bucks.

4020
02:27:07,560 --> 02:27:09,000
She's Sunday, March 30th.

4021
02:27:09,040 --> 02:27:09,980
Please see my note.

4022
02:27:10,360 --> 02:27:13,140
Sent the notes at noagendashow.net.

4023
02:27:13,460 --> 02:27:15,780
And there's a little parentheses here.

4024
02:27:15,780 --> 02:27:17,600
Did not receive.

4025
02:27:18,560 --> 02:27:20,100
That's Jay's commentary.

4026
02:27:20,460 --> 02:27:21,860
I didn't receive anything either.

4027
02:27:22,080 --> 02:27:23,780
Notes at noagendashow.net.

4028
02:27:25,420 --> 02:27:27,140
Which is the right address.

4029
02:27:27,420 --> 02:27:28,280
It should have been received.

4030
02:27:28,600 --> 02:27:29,080
Resend.

4031
02:27:29,200 --> 02:27:29,640
Resend.

4032
02:27:29,780 --> 02:27:31,140
Resend and we'll read it later.

4033
02:27:31,300 --> 02:27:31,640
$200.

4034
02:27:32,060 --> 02:27:33,980
There she is, Linda Lou Patkin from Lakewood,

4035
02:27:34,060 --> 02:27:34,520
Colorado.

4036
02:27:34,680 --> 02:27:35,660
We all know and love her.

4037
02:27:35,760 --> 02:27:36,800
Happy birthday, John.

4038
02:27:36,960 --> 02:27:37,660
Jobs karma.

4039
02:27:38,220 --> 02:27:40,140
For a resume that gets results, go to

4040
02:27:40,140 --> 02:27:41,600
imagemakersinc.com.

4041
02:27:41,680 --> 02:27:43,660
For all of your executive resume and job

4042
02:27:43,660 --> 02:27:45,880
search needs, that's Image Makers Inc.

4043
02:27:45,920 --> 02:27:46,380
with a K.

4044
02:27:46,660 --> 02:27:49,000
And work with Linda Lou, the Duchess of

4045
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:50,620
Jobs and writer of resumes.

4046
02:27:51,040 --> 02:27:51,340
Jobs.

4047
02:27:51,920 --> 02:27:52,400
Jobs.

4048
02:27:52,860 --> 02:27:53,340
Jobs.

4049
02:27:53,580 --> 02:27:54,160
And jobs.

4050
02:27:54,380 --> 02:27:55,880
Let's vote for jobs.

4051
02:27:56,400 --> 02:27:56,780
Yes!

4052
02:27:57,520 --> 02:27:57,880
Karma.

4053
02:27:59,380 --> 02:28:00,920
Well, I hate to tell you this, but

4054
02:28:00,920 --> 02:28:02,000
you're going to have to read the next

4055
02:28:02,000 --> 02:28:03,400
one because it takes up my spreadsheet.

4056
02:28:03,440 --> 02:28:05,000
Yeah, that's really not okay.

4057
02:28:05,220 --> 02:28:06,620
I mean, you need a better spreadsheet.

4058
02:28:06,920 --> 02:28:07,260
Mark.

4059
02:28:09,020 --> 02:28:10,740
No, I don't.

4060
02:28:10,800 --> 02:28:12,120
Well, yes.

4061
02:28:12,160 --> 02:28:13,460
You like reading long notes.

4062
02:28:13,460 --> 02:28:14,240
I do not.

4063
02:28:14,280 --> 02:28:15,580
And you're a better reader than I am.

4064
02:28:15,580 --> 02:28:15,800
That's true.

4065
02:28:15,800 --> 02:28:16,220
By a lot.

4066
02:28:16,460 --> 02:28:16,700
Yes.

4067
02:28:16,880 --> 02:28:17,180
Mark.

4068
02:28:17,300 --> 02:28:18,120
Yeah, you're a good reader.

4069
02:28:18,420 --> 02:28:20,320
You're very talented in that regard.

4070
02:28:21,540 --> 02:28:21,720
Flattery.

4071
02:28:21,720 --> 02:28:23,920
I always will defer the long notes to

4072
02:28:23,920 --> 02:28:24,020
you.

4073
02:28:24,020 --> 02:28:25,440
Flattery will get you everywhere.

4074
02:28:27,220 --> 02:28:28,020
Mark Calabian.

4075
02:28:28,360 --> 02:28:28,760
Calabian.

4076
02:28:29,120 --> 02:28:30,060
You blow it up.

4077
02:28:31,380 --> 02:28:32,880
He's in Glendale, California.

4078
02:28:33,000 --> 02:28:33,200
$200.

4079
02:28:33,560 --> 02:28:34,160
Long time listener.

4080
02:28:34,540 --> 02:28:36,560
Almost every episode for the past four years.

4081
02:28:36,660 --> 02:28:37,680
And douchebag here.

4082
02:28:38,040 --> 02:28:39,400
In the spirit of value for value, though,

4083
02:28:39,420 --> 02:28:40,820
I did leave a shout out to No

4084
02:28:40,820 --> 02:28:43,040
Agenda on my company's website for nearly all

4085
02:28:43,040 --> 02:28:45,920
of 2024, garnering a few hundred thousand impressions.

4086
02:28:46,480 --> 02:28:47,200
Well, that's good.

4087
02:28:47,920 --> 02:28:49,820
Frankly, I would have donated, but I'm a

4088
02:28:49,820 --> 02:28:50,960
very broke entrepreneur.

4089
02:28:51,540 --> 02:28:52,980
Pouring the past two years of pretty much

4090
02:28:52,980 --> 02:28:54,540
everything I have into building a new kind

4091
02:28:54,540 --> 02:28:57,080
of dating app, which finally launches the day

4092
02:28:57,080 --> 02:28:58,440
this episode airs.

4093
02:28:58,520 --> 02:29:00,040
And now, at last, I'll have an excuse

4094
02:29:00,040 --> 02:29:01,580
to start donating properly.

4095
02:29:01,940 --> 02:29:03,500
It's called Data-ing.

4096
02:29:04,360 --> 02:29:05,340
Data-ing.

4097
02:29:05,640 --> 02:29:07,360
D-A-T-A-I-N-G.

4098
02:29:07,480 --> 02:29:08,060
Data-ing.

4099
02:29:08,220 --> 02:29:09,560
And I'm pretty proud of it.

4100
02:29:09,560 --> 02:29:12,520
With help from David Nair, an author of

4101
02:29:12,520 --> 02:29:15,220
SPSS and core contributor to Cluster Analysis.

4102
02:29:15,900 --> 02:29:17,720
Oh, they've done something AI-y.

4103
02:29:17,820 --> 02:29:19,300
Oh, Cluster Analysis.

4104
02:29:20,240 --> 02:29:20,800
Cluster.

4105
02:29:20,980 --> 02:29:23,380
We're hoping there's some cluster F-ing going

4106
02:29:23,380 --> 02:29:23,740
on.

4107
02:29:23,900 --> 02:29:25,240
Yeah, exactly.

4108
02:29:25,640 --> 02:29:27,980
We built a data-driven dating platform that

4109
02:29:27,980 --> 02:29:30,800
matches people based on interests, personalities, and lifestyles.

4110
02:29:31,480 --> 02:29:34,320
Basically, it's a smart data-driven matchmaker designed

4111
02:29:34,320 --> 02:29:37,620
to connect people authentically and meaningfully, even to

4112
02:29:37,620 --> 02:29:38,840
no-agenda listeners.

4113
02:29:39,500 --> 02:29:41,500
This sounds a lot like the plot to

4114
02:29:41,500 --> 02:29:43,240
Bridget Jones' diary.

4115
02:29:44,920 --> 02:29:47,640
Tell it about your dream girl, and it'll

4116
02:29:47,640 --> 02:29:48,660
go find her.

4117
02:29:49,400 --> 02:29:50,940
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

4118
02:29:51,340 --> 02:29:53,840
No prompts, no bios, no pay-to-play.

4119
02:29:53,960 --> 02:29:56,140
Our system rates every person on a constantly

4120
02:29:56,140 --> 02:29:59,780
updating 1,200-trait scale, writes your bio,

4121
02:29:59,920 --> 02:30:02,860
and crafts custom descriptions for why every match

4122
02:30:02,860 --> 02:30:04,560
may or may not work, all of which

4123
02:30:04,560 --> 02:30:06,200
adapts with users over time.

4124
02:30:06,320 --> 02:30:08,920
And this is just the bootstrap version one.

4125
02:30:09,940 --> 02:30:11,340
Oh, my God, you don't even have to

4126
02:30:11,340 --> 02:30:12,080
show for the date.

4127
02:30:12,140 --> 02:30:12,920
It does it for you.

4128
02:30:13,500 --> 02:30:16,740
I know you guys aren't totally sold on

4129
02:30:16,740 --> 02:30:19,020
AI, correct, but this will be a good

4130
02:30:19,020 --> 02:30:21,060
test because there's a lot of incels in

4131
02:30:21,060 --> 02:30:22,920
the no-agenda community, as I received a

4132
02:30:22,920 --> 02:30:23,440
lot of notes.

4133
02:30:23,940 --> 02:30:24,860
And this is better work.

4134
02:30:25,200 --> 02:30:25,340
I did not.

4135
02:30:25,460 --> 02:30:26,760
I got a lot of notes.

4136
02:30:27,440 --> 02:30:28,180
From incels?

4137
02:30:28,340 --> 02:30:28,640
Yes.

4138
02:30:29,340 --> 02:30:31,780
After my incel presentation of the last show?

4139
02:30:31,980 --> 02:30:32,300
Yes.

4140
02:30:32,400 --> 02:30:33,880
In fact, I have a series of clips

4141
02:30:33,880 --> 02:30:34,540
if we have time.

4142
02:30:35,300 --> 02:30:36,040
Black appeal.

4143
02:30:36,040 --> 02:30:36,640
Black appeal, yeah.

4144
02:30:39,640 --> 02:30:41,340
I know you guys aren't totally sold on

4145
02:30:41,340 --> 02:30:42,760
AI, but I think it's probably good we

4146
02:30:42,760 --> 02:30:44,560
teach it, how to bring people together to

4147
02:30:44,560 --> 02:30:47,440
balance out the tearing people limb from limb.

4148
02:30:47,960 --> 02:30:50,040
Plus, if we can do it while repopulating

4149
02:30:50,040 --> 02:30:51,540
the earth again, it seems like a worthwhile

4150
02:30:51,540 --> 02:30:52,000
endeavor.

4151
02:30:54,600 --> 02:30:56,900
Anyways, I've spent too long typing this, and

4152
02:30:56,900 --> 02:30:58,120
I have way too much to do before

4153
02:30:58,120 --> 02:31:00,580
tomorrow, but I would love to someday hear

4154
02:31:00,580 --> 02:31:02,680
about a no-agenda love story made possible

4155
02:31:02,680 --> 02:31:03,640
by this note.

4156
02:31:03,640 --> 02:31:05,420
Thankful for all you do.

4157
02:31:05,800 --> 02:31:08,120
Ladies and gentlemen, go try out Data-ing,

4158
02:31:08,580 --> 02:31:11,180
the Data-ing app, and let me know.

4159
02:31:11,320 --> 02:31:13,620
Let Adam Curry know how it works out

4160
02:31:13,620 --> 02:31:14,020
for you.

4161
02:31:14,460 --> 02:31:15,780
Adam at curry.com.

4162
02:31:15,860 --> 02:31:16,340
Yes, please.

4163
02:31:16,720 --> 02:31:19,080
Last on our list is Crypto Cockney in

4164
02:31:19,080 --> 02:31:20,400
Bedford, UK.

4165
02:31:21,920 --> 02:31:22,860
200 bucks.

4166
02:31:23,520 --> 02:31:26,360
The British are coming, all caps, to liberate

4167
02:31:26,360 --> 02:31:27,340
you two boomers.

4168
02:31:27,340 --> 02:31:31,160
Hopefully, the Associate Executive Producer donation will keep

4169
02:31:31,160 --> 02:31:35,600
Crypto Grouch John happy and fully stocked on

4170
02:31:35,600 --> 02:31:37,500
vintage Costco wine.

4171
02:31:38,140 --> 02:31:41,560
Plus, Jesus-approved beautiful hair care products for

4172
02:31:41,560 --> 02:31:42,880
your good self.

4173
02:31:43,680 --> 02:31:47,160
Bedanks for all your value-tainment.

4174
02:31:47,620 --> 02:31:48,920
I couldn't live without it.

4175
02:31:48,980 --> 02:31:49,640
Four more years.

4176
02:31:49,820 --> 02:31:52,680
Please play a Bitcoin crypto jingle if you

4177
02:31:52,680 --> 02:31:53,840
have one or create one.

4178
02:31:53,840 --> 02:31:57,180
Plus, your hilarious Trump as a Nazi, Putin

4179
02:31:57,180 --> 02:32:01,360
on the Ritz is what it is, and

4180
02:32:01,360 --> 02:32:02,520
F.U. China.

4181
02:32:03,820 --> 02:32:06,460
Love and good karma to all your listeners.

4182
02:32:07,880 --> 02:32:10,260
They're saying that all hell is going to

4183
02:32:10,260 --> 02:32:11,320
break loose and you're going to need a

4184
02:32:11,320 --> 02:32:11,580
Bitcoin.

4185
02:32:14,040 --> 02:32:15,800
Donald loves Nazis.

4186
02:32:17,020 --> 02:32:18,700
Donald loves Nazis.

4187
02:32:20,000 --> 02:32:23,460
CNN say that he's KKK and he shouts

4188
02:32:23,460 --> 02:32:24,620
a sick hail with it.

4189
02:32:24,720 --> 02:32:25,080
Wow.

4190
02:32:27,300 --> 02:32:30,100
F.U. and you don't know where there's

4191
02:32:30,100 --> 02:32:30,640
fake news.

4192
02:32:30,760 --> 02:32:32,780
Why don't you get your Gitmo fix?

4193
02:32:33,840 --> 02:32:35,240
Putin on the Ritz.

4194
02:32:37,580 --> 02:32:38,900
Chinese asshole.

4195
02:32:40,340 --> 02:32:42,120
You've got karma.

4196
02:32:42,890 --> 02:32:46,220
Well, that was a very nice sequence of

4197
02:32:46,220 --> 02:32:48,640
executive and associate executive producers.

4198
02:32:48,840 --> 02:32:52,820
I do want to congratulate Carolyn Blaney.

4199
02:32:54,220 --> 02:32:56,260
We all know Carolyn Blaney.

4200
02:32:56,840 --> 02:32:58,900
She and her husband have pooped out a

4201
02:32:58,900 --> 02:33:00,120
child, or she has actually.

4202
02:33:00,200 --> 02:33:01,820
She gave birth to the first child December

4203
02:33:01,820 --> 02:33:02,880
6, 2024.

4204
02:33:04,280 --> 02:33:05,020
And I have...

4205
02:33:05,020 --> 02:33:05,760
Why is she...

4206
02:33:05,760 --> 02:33:07,700
I guess she's been away for a while.

4207
02:33:07,700 --> 02:33:11,200
A beautiful, healthy baby girl named Evelyn Dorothy

4208
02:33:11,200 --> 02:33:11,880
Carter.

4209
02:33:12,360 --> 02:33:14,660
A month prior to giving birth, I became

4210
02:33:14,660 --> 02:33:16,720
a lawful permanent resident of the United States.

4211
02:33:17,200 --> 02:33:18,380
My girl was born in Ohio.

4212
02:33:18,540 --> 02:33:19,040
Anchor baby.

4213
02:33:20,200 --> 02:33:20,680
Fantastic.

4214
02:33:21,060 --> 02:33:22,640
I love my daughter and being a mother,

4215
02:33:22,780 --> 02:33:23,980
I feel so blessed every day.

4216
02:33:24,120 --> 02:33:24,800
God is good.

4217
02:33:24,900 --> 02:33:26,400
And we say congratulations.

4218
02:33:26,880 --> 02:33:28,360
Welcome to Gitmo Nation.

4219
02:33:28,780 --> 02:33:29,960
Evelyn Dorothy Carter.

4220
02:33:30,480 --> 02:33:32,320
Too bad you were not named after Adam

4221
02:33:32,320 --> 02:33:33,520
and John, but that's how it goes.

4222
02:33:34,200 --> 02:33:36,800
I would like to thank Aaron Stager.

4223
02:33:37,580 --> 02:33:40,620
I was speaking at the Leadership Gillespie County

4224
02:33:40,620 --> 02:33:43,300
yesterday here in Fredericksburg.

4225
02:33:43,660 --> 02:33:44,500
And he came up to me.

4226
02:33:44,580 --> 02:33:46,040
Well, I knew it was a show because

4227
02:33:46,040 --> 02:33:47,440
it was like a media panel and he

4228
02:33:47,440 --> 02:33:47,920
had a question.

4229
02:33:48,180 --> 02:33:50,400
Hey, can you tell me about value for

4230
02:33:50,400 --> 02:33:50,800
value?

4231
02:33:52,020 --> 02:33:52,420
Okay.

4232
02:33:53,240 --> 02:33:55,140
He came up and he pressed a crisp

4233
02:33:55,140 --> 02:33:56,580
$100 bill in my hand.

4234
02:33:56,640 --> 02:33:57,780
I just want to thank him for that.

4235
02:33:58,480 --> 02:34:00,560
That was very nice and unexpected.

4236
02:34:00,560 --> 02:34:04,980
And an emergency jobs karma for our producer,

4237
02:34:06,080 --> 02:34:09,220
Sir Aero, Knight of the Knots and King

4238
02:34:09,220 --> 02:34:10,600
of the Boostergrams.

4239
02:34:10,900 --> 02:34:12,940
For the first time in his 35-year

4240
02:34:12,940 --> 02:34:14,780
professional career, he was laid off from his

4241
02:34:14,780 --> 02:34:17,140
job yesterday from a company that has bit

4242
02:34:17,140 --> 02:34:18,380
the farm on AI.

4243
02:34:19,540 --> 02:34:21,040
So we need to give him a jobs

4244
02:34:21,040 --> 02:34:21,300
karma.

4245
02:34:21,380 --> 02:34:23,140
Emergency jobs karma for knights always.

4246
02:34:23,520 --> 02:34:26,580
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4247
02:34:26,780 --> 02:34:28,280
Let's vote for jobs.

4248
02:34:28,880 --> 02:34:29,320
Karma.

4249
02:34:30,660 --> 02:34:32,520
And thank you to our executive and associate

4250
02:34:32,520 --> 02:34:33,300
executive producers.

4251
02:34:33,460 --> 02:34:35,540
We appreciate everything you do for us every

4252
02:34:35,540 --> 02:34:36,260
single episode.

4253
02:34:36,460 --> 02:34:38,980
These credits are good for your entire lifetime.

4254
02:34:39,420 --> 02:34:40,120
You can put them anywhere.

4255
02:34:40,200 --> 02:34:43,480
Your LinkedIn, your bio, your resume, which you

4256
02:34:43,480 --> 02:34:44,540
might get from Lindaloo Packing.

4257
02:34:44,660 --> 02:34:46,520
Or just go to imdb.com and see

4258
02:34:46,520 --> 02:34:49,400
over a thousand executive and associate executive producers

4259
02:34:49,400 --> 02:34:50,940
of the No Agenda Show and join their

4260
02:34:50,940 --> 02:34:51,240
ranks.

4261
02:34:51,600 --> 02:34:53,660
We'll be thanking people $50 and above in

4262
02:34:53,660 --> 02:34:54,160
a little bit.

4263
02:34:54,280 --> 02:34:55,580
And remember, you can always set up a

4264
02:34:55,580 --> 02:34:57,480
recurring donation if you think you have one.

4265
02:34:57,480 --> 02:34:58,340
Check again.

4266
02:34:58,440 --> 02:34:59,460
They do seem to expire.

4267
02:34:59,600 --> 02:35:01,460
Go to noagendadonations.com.

4268
02:35:01,560 --> 02:35:04,020
Thank you again for supporting us for 1752.

4269
02:35:04,380 --> 02:35:05,460
Our formula is this.

4270
02:35:06,260 --> 02:35:06,980
We go out.

4271
02:35:07,340 --> 02:35:08,820
We hit people in the mouth.

4272
02:35:13,860 --> 02:35:14,280
Order.

4273
02:35:15,720 --> 02:35:16,340
Order.

4274
02:35:17,040 --> 02:35:18,780
How dare you be so flippant, man?

4275
02:35:19,260 --> 02:35:20,960
Shut up, Steve.

4276
02:35:24,480 --> 02:35:25,280
So, incense.

4277
02:35:25,860 --> 02:35:27,040
I have an Ask Adam.

4278
02:35:27,520 --> 02:35:28,080
Oh, you do?

4279
02:35:28,300 --> 02:35:30,200
I wasn't prepared for an Ask Adam.

4280
02:35:32,160 --> 02:35:33,580
You can play a quick jingle.

4281
02:35:33,960 --> 02:35:34,340
Yeah.

4282
02:35:35,140 --> 02:35:36,760
If you can't find it, that's okay.

4283
02:35:36,860 --> 02:35:39,540
I used to have these kind of at

4284
02:35:39,540 --> 02:35:41,360
the ready, but I don't know what happened.

4285
02:35:42,320 --> 02:35:43,000
Yeah, what happened?

4286
02:35:43,220 --> 02:35:44,220
I don't know what happened.

4287
02:35:45,360 --> 02:35:46,240
Something happened.

4288
02:35:47,940 --> 02:35:51,240
For some reason, it's okay.

4289
02:35:52,080 --> 02:35:52,620
Here we go.

4290
02:35:52,700 --> 02:35:53,360
Here we go.

4291
02:35:54,760 --> 02:35:55,600
Ask Adam.

4292
02:35:56,140 --> 02:35:56,560
Ask.

4293
02:35:56,760 --> 02:35:56,960
Question.

4294
02:35:57,580 --> 02:35:57,880
Okay.

4295
02:35:58,060 --> 02:35:58,460
There we go.

4296
02:35:58,540 --> 02:35:59,120
That's the question.

4297
02:35:59,300 --> 02:35:59,440
Yes.

4298
02:35:59,620 --> 02:35:59,720
Answer the question.

4299
02:35:59,720 --> 02:36:01,040
So, I'm going to play the clip, then

4300
02:36:01,040 --> 02:36:03,080
I'm going to ask you a question about

4301
02:36:03,080 --> 02:36:03,600
the clip.

4302
02:36:03,680 --> 02:36:03,980
Okay.

4303
02:36:04,900 --> 02:36:08,120
Because I consider that there's what I would

4304
02:36:08,120 --> 02:36:10,740
call an illogic moment.

4305
02:36:11,520 --> 02:36:13,360
It's the Ask Adam clip.

4306
02:36:13,360 --> 02:36:17,240
The General Services Administration announced it is significantly

4307
02:36:17,240 --> 02:36:19,620
scaling back government-run childcare services.

4308
02:36:20,780 --> 02:36:23,080
WAMU's Jackson Zinnenberg has the story.

4309
02:36:23,540 --> 02:36:25,740
Up until this month, the GSA ran an

4310
02:36:25,740 --> 02:36:28,660
office of childcare services that oversaw a network

4311
02:36:28,660 --> 02:36:31,160
of 82 government-run services across the U

4312
02:36:31,160 --> 02:36:32,680
.S., including Puerto Rico.

4313
02:36:33,360 --> 02:36:35,720
Some are housed in federal office buildings, especially

4314
02:36:35,720 --> 02:36:38,600
those in D.C. Others are independent businesses

4315
02:36:38,600 --> 02:36:41,000
supported by the government that give preferential admission

4316
02:36:41,000 --> 02:36:42,460
to the children of federal workers.

4317
02:36:42,460 --> 02:36:45,440
Those childcare centers will now face closure or

4318
02:36:45,440 --> 02:36:47,340
significantly higher operating costs.

4319
02:36:47,760 --> 02:36:48,400
Okay.

4320
02:36:48,880 --> 02:36:50,120
What was the question?

4321
02:36:51,000 --> 02:36:54,200
The question will be, if they're having their

4322
02:36:54,200 --> 02:36:57,180
money taken away, why is there going to

4323
02:36:57,180 --> 02:36:59,860
be significantly higher operating costs?

4324
02:37:01,920 --> 02:37:03,120
That's what he said.

4325
02:37:03,580 --> 02:37:05,460
It makes no sense.

4326
02:37:07,440 --> 02:37:09,040
They're having their money taken away.

4327
02:37:09,200 --> 02:37:10,100
Where was that from?

4328
02:37:10,180 --> 02:37:11,020
That's very interesting.

4329
02:37:11,020 --> 02:37:14,420
It was from WAMU in Washington, D.C.

4330
02:37:14,440 --> 02:37:15,820
It's a local PBS station.

4331
02:37:16,040 --> 02:37:17,100
Well, that explains it.

4332
02:37:17,500 --> 02:37:19,380
But I just – what?

4333
02:37:19,600 --> 02:37:21,040
This is like the same thing where they

4334
02:37:21,040 --> 02:37:24,620
say, oh, you know, it generates – you're

4335
02:37:24,620 --> 02:37:26,240
taking a billion dollars away from the park

4336
02:37:26,240 --> 02:37:26,540
service.

4337
02:37:26,600 --> 02:37:28,920
Do you realize that that $1 billion generates

4338
02:37:28,920 --> 02:37:31,540
$55 billion in revenue?

4339
02:37:32,160 --> 02:37:34,020
Well, you get $55 billion in revenue.

4340
02:37:34,160 --> 02:37:35,560
Why don't you recycle some of it?

4341
02:37:36,240 --> 02:37:41,100
I mean, we hear these illogic complaints constantly.

4342
02:37:44,780 --> 02:37:46,460
Well, that's what the media does.

4343
02:37:46,640 --> 02:37:49,580
I mean, they just take the press release

4344
02:37:49,580 --> 02:37:50,200
and read it.

4345
02:37:50,360 --> 02:37:51,960
I don't think they're doing any work anymore.

4346
02:37:52,600 --> 02:37:54,420
No, I think they stopped doing work some

4347
02:37:54,420 --> 02:37:54,980
time back.

4348
02:37:56,540 --> 02:37:58,440
So I have a series of clips.

4349
02:37:58,700 --> 02:37:59,420
Do we have time?

4350
02:38:00,440 --> 02:38:01,920
I'm wondering if I should keep it for

4351
02:38:01,920 --> 02:38:02,200
Sunday.

4352
02:38:02,320 --> 02:38:03,480
Maybe I'll keep this for Sunday.

4353
02:38:03,980 --> 02:38:05,520
Well, what series is the clip about?

4354
02:38:05,520 --> 02:38:08,500
Well, Morning Joe – so it was in

4355
02:38:08,500 --> 02:38:11,200
relation to the incel's black pill.

4356
02:38:11,860 --> 02:38:13,260
And I did get a number of very

4357
02:38:13,260 --> 02:38:16,580
interesting notes from one of our producers who

4358
02:38:16,580 --> 02:38:19,020
is an incel, and he explains why.

4359
02:38:19,820 --> 02:38:23,780
I got notes from teachers saying, yes, you

4360
02:38:23,780 --> 02:38:26,340
know, we try to do ballroom dance class

4361
02:38:26,340 --> 02:38:29,740
to get boys and girls comfortable with each

4362
02:38:29,740 --> 02:38:30,060
other.

4363
02:38:30,560 --> 02:38:31,600
And it is ballroom dance.

4364
02:38:31,600 --> 02:38:32,140
Which we try to do.

4365
02:38:32,240 --> 02:38:33,500
It's different than forcing it.

4366
02:38:33,640 --> 02:38:34,360
Yes, correct.

4367
02:38:34,360 --> 02:38:35,820
No, he says forcing.

4368
02:38:35,940 --> 02:38:37,420
I think he actually mentioned forcing.

4369
02:38:38,260 --> 02:38:41,020
Well, at what age?

4370
02:38:42,040 --> 02:38:47,520
Well, he is a – didn't say, just

4371
02:38:47,520 --> 02:38:47,660
teacher.

4372
02:38:47,660 --> 02:38:48,420
It makes a difference.

4373
02:38:48,560 --> 02:38:50,260
When you're forced to dance with a girl

4374
02:38:50,260 --> 02:38:53,600
in the second grade, first, second, and third

4375
02:38:53,600 --> 02:38:56,660
grade, it has a different impact on you

4376
02:38:56,660 --> 02:38:58,280
than eighth grade.

4377
02:38:58,280 --> 02:39:00,340
We got a note from Matt saying, we

4378
02:39:00,340 --> 02:39:01,780
used to have junior assembly.

4379
02:39:02,060 --> 02:39:02,800
A junior assembly.

4380
02:39:03,040 --> 02:39:04,020
That's something similar.

4381
02:39:05,480 --> 02:39:07,100
Then he says, now we're raising a young

4382
02:39:07,100 --> 02:39:07,540
man here.

4383
02:39:07,620 --> 02:39:08,500
He has a good head on his shoulders,

4384
02:39:08,600 --> 02:39:09,280
thanks to his mom.

4385
02:39:09,340 --> 02:39:10,420
But the battle is real.

4386
02:39:10,760 --> 02:39:12,500
And every day it's, the battle is real.

4387
02:39:13,420 --> 02:39:14,820
And so – and I can keep these

4388
02:39:14,820 --> 02:39:15,760
for Sunday if you want.

4389
02:39:15,900 --> 02:39:19,940
But Morning Joe – Morning Joe had a

4390
02:39:19,940 --> 02:39:24,560
piece on how Gen Z men are more

4391
02:39:24,560 --> 02:39:27,200
religious than Gen Z women.

4392
02:39:27,200 --> 02:39:29,140
And that this is – there's a trend

4393
02:39:29,140 --> 02:39:29,460
here.

4394
02:39:29,940 --> 02:39:34,320
A trend of young men discovering Christianity.

4395
02:39:35,400 --> 02:39:37,460
And I thought it was interesting because it

4396
02:39:37,460 --> 02:39:39,320
was on Morning Joe, if I can say

4397
02:39:39,320 --> 02:39:39,800
that enough.

4398
02:39:40,360 --> 02:39:41,180
Would you like to hear – Yeah, you

4399
02:39:41,180 --> 02:39:41,900
said it again.

4400
02:39:42,040 --> 02:39:43,300
Would you like to hear this report?

4401
02:39:43,980 --> 02:39:45,460
Well, I think so.

4402
02:39:45,680 --> 02:39:49,020
Because you've played some Christian clips, some white

4403
02:39:49,020 --> 02:39:51,260
Christian nationalist clips in the past two shows.

4404
02:39:51,380 --> 02:39:53,140
So I figure I would reciprocate.

4405
02:39:53,160 --> 02:39:54,760
None that I can recall, but sure.

4406
02:39:55,100 --> 02:39:56,040
Yes, you did.

4407
02:39:56,080 --> 02:39:56,620
What do you mean?

4408
02:39:57,600 --> 02:39:58,280
Yes.

4409
02:39:59,280 --> 02:40:01,200
I like the way your voice changed there.

4410
02:40:01,440 --> 02:40:03,380
Now to a remarkable shift happening.

4411
02:40:03,660 --> 02:40:04,800
Remarkable shift happening.

4412
02:40:05,080 --> 02:40:06,120
Remarkable shift.

4413
02:40:06,380 --> 02:40:07,400
Jesus is trending.

4414
02:40:07,760 --> 02:40:09,200
American public life.

4415
02:40:09,340 --> 02:40:11,900
Ever since the baby boomer generation, surveys have

4416
02:40:11,900 --> 02:40:14,540
shown women are more religious than men.

4417
02:40:14,680 --> 02:40:16,120
But not anymore.

4418
02:40:17,060 --> 02:40:20,080
Two new surveys show Gen Z men are

4419
02:40:20,080 --> 02:40:23,740
more likely to claim religious affiliation and even

4420
02:40:23,740 --> 02:40:27,160
attend church than their female counterparts.

4421
02:40:27,380 --> 02:40:29,880
Let's bring in NBC News correspondent and NBC

4422
02:40:29,880 --> 02:40:33,060
News Now Daily anchor, Morgan Radford, for a

4423
02:40:33,060 --> 02:40:34,280
closer look at this trend.

4424
02:40:34,400 --> 02:40:35,320
Is she the new anchor?

4425
02:40:35,720 --> 02:40:37,700
There's a new anchor at NBC Daily?

4426
02:40:39,440 --> 02:40:41,640
I don't watch the network that much.

4427
02:40:42,020 --> 02:40:45,200
And what it means, even politically, Morgan.

4428
02:40:45,420 --> 02:40:46,440
Mika, great question.

4429
02:40:46,560 --> 02:40:49,960
It has a lot of political implications, especially

4430
02:40:49,960 --> 02:40:51,380
if you sort of look down in the

4431
02:40:51,380 --> 02:40:52,160
decades to come.

4432
02:40:52,160 --> 02:40:54,400
But it's a trend that America's religious leaders

4433
02:40:54,400 --> 02:40:55,580
have been paying attention to.

4434
02:40:55,780 --> 02:40:58,120
But it's also something that a growing number

4435
02:40:58,120 --> 02:41:00,820
of political groups are tracking since this shift

4436
02:41:00,820 --> 02:41:01,720
toward religion.

4437
02:41:01,920 --> 02:41:03,700
It's happening at the very same time.

4438
02:41:03,800 --> 02:41:05,640
There were also seeing more young men lean

4439
02:41:05,640 --> 02:41:08,180
conservative on a number of social issues.

4440
02:41:08,600 --> 02:41:11,060
It's a shift that has huge implications, as

4441
02:41:11,060 --> 02:41:13,340
we mentioned, for the future of both parties.

4442
02:41:13,520 --> 02:41:15,720
Ah, huge implications for politics.

4443
02:41:15,720 --> 02:41:18,600
This is a bull crap story that's designed

4444
02:41:18,600 --> 02:41:22,400
to explain away the fact that younger Gen

4445
02:41:22,400 --> 02:41:28,020
Z men are voting Republican and they're eschewing

4446
02:41:28,020 --> 02:41:32,480
the Democrats and their stupidities and coming in

4447
02:41:32,480 --> 02:41:33,100
conservative.

4448
02:41:33,360 --> 02:41:34,500
And there's a big stink about it.

4449
02:41:34,520 --> 02:41:36,060
So now what they're doing here is they're

4450
02:41:36,060 --> 02:41:38,900
blaming it on those horrible Christians.

4451
02:41:39,140 --> 02:41:40,300
Have you seen this report?

4452
02:41:41,020 --> 02:41:42,680
No, I'm just telling you that's what I

4453
02:41:42,680 --> 02:41:44,140
believe is going on.

4454
02:41:44,160 --> 02:41:45,060
Well, let's have a listen.

4455
02:41:46,820 --> 02:41:49,400
20-year-old Owen Girard has changed.

4456
02:41:49,580 --> 02:41:50,720
I was on the steps of the Florida

4457
02:41:50,720 --> 02:41:53,360
State Capitol, you know, advocating for climate activism,

4458
02:41:53,500 --> 02:41:54,700
the Green New Deal, all that stuff.

4459
02:41:54,840 --> 02:41:55,380
A lot.

4460
02:41:55,620 --> 02:41:56,420
And then now?

4461
02:41:56,720 --> 02:41:57,940
And I'm a staunch conservative.

4462
02:41:58,340 --> 02:42:01,020
A conservative voter and a conservative Christian.

4463
02:42:01,280 --> 02:42:02,020
What changed?

4464
02:42:02,360 --> 02:42:04,000
Oh, wait a minute.

4465
02:42:04,120 --> 02:42:05,480
He was all in on our team.

4466
02:42:05,600 --> 02:42:06,500
He switched teams.

4467
02:42:06,560 --> 02:42:08,240
This is an example.

4468
02:42:08,440 --> 02:42:12,780
This would be MSNBC's gambit of association.

4469
02:42:12,780 --> 02:42:14,340
They use this trick.

4470
02:42:15,060 --> 02:42:17,380
So there's something going on that we don't

4471
02:42:17,380 --> 02:42:17,820
like.

4472
02:42:18,920 --> 02:42:21,860
And we know that our audience hates Christians.

4473
02:42:22,040 --> 02:42:23,100
They're a bunch of atheists.

4474
02:42:23,340 --> 02:42:25,960
And so we're going to make the associations

4475
02:42:25,960 --> 02:42:29,500
and do the linkage that doesn't exist.

4476
02:42:29,600 --> 02:42:31,260
It exists with one guy or this guy

4477
02:42:31,260 --> 02:42:31,620
or that guy.

4478
02:42:31,680 --> 02:42:33,020
But whatever it is, we're going to generalize

4479
02:42:33,020 --> 02:42:35,120
from that and make everybody look like a

4480
02:42:35,120 --> 02:42:35,840
bunch of boneheads.

4481
02:42:36,720 --> 02:42:38,840
All young men are Christians, John.

4482
02:42:38,920 --> 02:42:39,620
Are you kidding me?

4483
02:42:39,660 --> 02:42:40,480
They're all Republicans.

4484
02:42:40,480 --> 02:42:42,380
Well, really, it was the faith journey that

4485
02:42:42,380 --> 02:42:44,680
really fundamentally transformed my political views.

4486
02:42:47,800 --> 02:42:50,360
For the first time in modern American history,

4487
02:42:50,740 --> 02:42:53,160
more young men than women are claiming religious

4488
02:42:53,160 --> 02:42:55,980
affiliation, a gender gap of 7 percent.

4489
02:42:56,240 --> 02:42:59,040
While men under 30 who lean Republican have

4490
02:42:59,040 --> 02:43:01,780
also outpaced Democrats for the first time in

4491
02:43:01,780 --> 02:43:02,640
more than a decade.

4492
02:43:02,820 --> 02:43:04,280
You get a line with other men that

4493
02:43:04,280 --> 02:43:05,680
are like, hey, I actually have the same

4494
02:43:05,680 --> 02:43:06,280
views as you.

4495
02:43:06,320 --> 02:43:08,240
And it's like, it's OK to have that

4496
02:43:08,240 --> 02:43:08,400
view.

4497
02:43:10,480 --> 02:43:12,940
Here at the Faith Forward Pastor Summit in

4498
02:43:12,940 --> 02:43:15,140
Gainesville, Georgia, hosted by an arm of the

4499
02:43:15,140 --> 02:43:17,460
conservative activist group Turning Point USA.

4500
02:43:17,960 --> 02:43:19,980
The call from young conservative men.

4501
02:43:20,300 --> 02:43:22,920
We're called to be biblical and we're called

4502
02:43:22,920 --> 02:43:24,100
to be political.

4503
02:43:24,440 --> 02:43:27,240
By the way, if you want to make

4504
02:43:27,240 --> 02:43:29,560
Christians look crazy, get one of those guys.

4505
02:43:30,080 --> 02:43:31,940
We're called to be men and we're called

4506
02:43:31,940 --> 02:43:32,840
to be political.

4507
02:43:33,220 --> 02:43:36,120
Called to be biblical and biblical and political.

4508
02:43:36,380 --> 02:43:37,760
That's exactly what's going on here.

4509
02:43:37,840 --> 02:43:39,140
This is a propaganda piece.

4510
02:43:39,140 --> 02:43:39,640
Which is great.

4511
02:43:39,880 --> 02:43:41,620
We're called to be political.

4512
02:43:42,100 --> 02:43:44,680
Is finding a bigger audience than ever before.

4513
02:43:45,360 --> 02:43:47,540
I had a burning desire in my heart,

4514
02:43:47,640 --> 02:43:49,780
a heavenly desire that wasn't being filled by

4515
02:43:49,780 --> 02:43:52,120
anything of this of this world.

4516
02:43:52,740 --> 02:43:54,380
And so they bring in one of these

4517
02:43:54,380 --> 02:43:56,840
groups and they're the promise keepers.

4518
02:43:58,040 --> 02:44:00,340
For Shane Winnings, who leads the National Men's

4519
02:44:00,340 --> 02:44:01,980
Ministry Group Promise Keepers.

4520
02:44:02,180 --> 02:44:03,500
What kind of man are you?

4521
02:44:03,580 --> 02:44:05,200
It's all part of a bigger strategy.

4522
02:44:05,200 --> 02:44:06,800
I think it's very intentional.

4523
02:44:07,160 --> 02:44:09,400
And I think the messaging from the administration

4524
02:44:09,400 --> 02:44:10,620
was very intentional.

4525
02:44:10,940 --> 02:44:11,820
Ah, you see?

4526
02:44:12,020 --> 02:44:12,880
Yeah, yeah, yeah, see?

4527
02:44:13,040 --> 02:44:13,680
This is the president.

4528
02:44:13,920 --> 02:44:15,960
The president determines culture.

4529
02:44:16,140 --> 02:44:18,480
Yeah, it was to win those kind of

4530
02:44:18,480 --> 02:44:18,820
people.

4531
02:44:19,100 --> 02:44:19,280
Who?

4532
02:44:19,600 --> 02:44:21,660
You know, the young people, the men who

4533
02:44:21,660 --> 02:44:22,360
want to be men.

4534
02:44:22,420 --> 02:44:23,980
If you fear culture, then you don't fear

4535
02:44:23,980 --> 02:44:24,420
God.

4536
02:44:24,500 --> 02:44:26,500
Men who want to, or can be convinced

4537
02:44:26,500 --> 02:44:29,400
to, return to what he calls traditional values.

4538
02:44:30,160 --> 02:44:32,880
What we're seeing in this erosion where now

4539
02:44:32,880 --> 02:44:34,560
anyone can be a family, you know.

4540
02:44:34,560 --> 02:44:36,160
Two men can be a family, and they

4541
02:44:36,160 --> 02:44:37,000
can adopt kids.

4542
02:44:37,120 --> 02:44:37,920
They hate gays!

4543
02:44:38,040 --> 02:44:39,020
Which I think is problematic.

4544
02:44:39,460 --> 02:44:40,900
Two women can be a family, they can

4545
02:44:40,900 --> 02:44:41,400
adopt kids.

4546
02:44:41,740 --> 02:44:43,160
Marriage doesn't mean anything anymore.

4547
02:44:43,300 --> 02:44:45,740
What threat is that to you, if those

4548
02:44:45,740 --> 02:44:46,560
two men love each other?

4549
02:44:46,800 --> 02:44:50,020
Because you can point statistically to our society

4550
02:44:50,020 --> 02:44:54,260
being eroded from within, because two men automatically

4551
02:44:54,260 --> 02:44:57,180
create an unstable household, because that is not

4552
02:44:57,180 --> 02:44:58,360
God's design for a family.

4553
02:44:58,520 --> 02:44:59,460
And you think that hurts America?

4554
02:44:59,780 --> 02:45:00,240
Absolutely.

4555
02:45:00,240 --> 02:45:03,200
Which extends to policy issues that he believes

4556
02:45:03,200 --> 02:45:05,360
are fundamentally against God.

4557
02:45:05,760 --> 02:45:07,760
Oh yeah, now we're getting into the nitty

4558
02:45:07,760 --> 02:45:07,860
-gritty.

4559
02:45:08,140 --> 02:45:10,480
I mean, you're absolutely right.

4560
02:45:10,880 --> 02:45:12,760
I think it backfires what they're trying to

4561
02:45:12,760 --> 02:45:13,220
do here.

4562
02:45:13,680 --> 02:45:14,920
Let's hit wokeness.

4563
02:45:15,000 --> 02:45:17,000
When we talk about the intertwining of faith

4564
02:45:17,000 --> 02:45:19,260
and politics, a lot of the messaging here

4565
02:45:19,260 --> 02:45:21,960
is about eradicating wokeness.

4566
02:45:22,120 --> 02:45:22,320
Yeah.

4567
02:45:22,500 --> 02:45:23,180
What does that mean?

4568
02:45:23,780 --> 02:45:26,500
Well, I think wokeness, you know, is really

4569
02:45:26,500 --> 02:45:28,860
anything that comes against God's design.

4570
02:45:28,860 --> 02:45:30,880
It's this progressive mentality.

4571
02:45:30,880 --> 02:45:31,440
Oh, please.

4572
02:45:31,700 --> 02:45:33,580
Wokeness is like DEI.

4573
02:45:34,260 --> 02:45:35,820
Wokeness is- You think that's against God?

4574
02:45:36,060 --> 02:45:37,180
Yes, 100%.

4575
02:45:37,180 --> 02:45:37,580
How so?

4576
02:45:37,980 --> 02:45:40,540
Well, I mean, it is everything it claims

4577
02:45:40,540 --> 02:45:41,620
to be against.

4578
02:45:42,060 --> 02:45:44,340
You know, DEI is discriminatory.

4579
02:45:44,760 --> 02:45:45,780
It is racist.

4580
02:45:46,240 --> 02:45:48,480
DEI says, what's your skin color and who

4581
02:45:48,480 --> 02:45:49,120
do you sleep with?

4582
02:45:49,160 --> 02:45:50,300
You're getting to the front of the line.

4583
02:45:50,520 --> 02:45:51,860
Can I push back on that?

4584
02:45:51,920 --> 02:45:52,180
Please.

4585
02:45:52,860 --> 02:45:57,120
My interpretation of DEI and affirmative action is

4586
02:45:57,120 --> 02:46:00,880
essentially saying not that you must promote me

4587
02:46:00,880 --> 02:46:03,020
because I'm black, but you are not allowed

4588
02:46:03,020 --> 02:46:05,220
to discriminate against me because I'm black.

4589
02:46:05,220 --> 02:46:08,420
But that's already a part of our constitution

4590
02:46:08,420 --> 02:46:10,000
and already a part of our laws.

4591
02:46:10,240 --> 02:46:12,020
DEI has been used to push people to

4592
02:46:12,020 --> 02:46:13,420
the front of the line who don't belong

4593
02:46:13,420 --> 02:46:13,680
there.

4594
02:46:13,780 --> 02:46:15,780
If someone calls some point and says that's

4595
02:46:15,780 --> 02:46:17,460
a DEI hire- I think that's wrong

4596
02:46:17,460 --> 02:46:17,680
too.

4597
02:46:17,720 --> 02:46:18,640
Do you think they're pointing at you or

4598
02:46:18,640 --> 02:46:19,440
you think they're pointing at me?

4599
02:46:19,440 --> 02:46:20,240
I don't know.

4600
02:46:20,540 --> 02:46:21,840
I'll tell you what though, I think it's

4601
02:46:21,840 --> 02:46:23,240
wrong to make a snap judgment.

4602
02:46:23,600 --> 02:46:24,760
Like, that is not godly.

4603
02:46:24,820 --> 02:46:26,180
Because it assumes that the only people who

4604
02:46:26,180 --> 02:46:28,300
can have good things are straight white men.

4605
02:46:28,520 --> 02:46:28,880
Exactly.

4606
02:46:29,420 --> 02:46:30,060
And that's a problem.

4607
02:46:30,280 --> 02:46:30,840
I'm excited.

4608
02:46:30,940 --> 02:46:31,460
You have your Bible?

4609
02:46:31,700 --> 02:46:34,580
So at Promise Keeper- Hold on a

4610
02:46:34,580 --> 02:46:34,780
second.

4611
02:46:34,960 --> 02:46:35,800
I love this.

4612
02:46:35,840 --> 02:46:37,660
First of all, what kind of reporter gets

4613
02:46:37,660 --> 02:46:40,100
into an argument- Can I push back

4614
02:46:40,100 --> 02:46:40,860
on that, please?

4615
02:46:42,320 --> 02:46:43,780
With someone they're interviewing?

4616
02:46:43,940 --> 02:46:45,060
Yeah, well- I mean, they're supposed to

4617
02:46:45,060 --> 02:46:47,300
be hearing the point of view and then

4618
02:46:47,300 --> 02:46:49,020
maybe finding somebody else with a different point

4619
02:46:49,020 --> 02:46:49,240
of view.

4620
02:46:49,240 --> 02:46:50,240
You do all this kind of thing.

4621
02:46:50,280 --> 02:46:51,300
You're supposed to be fairly neutral.

4622
02:46:51,820 --> 02:46:53,560
But then to get into an argument as

4623
02:46:53,560 --> 02:46:57,660
though you're the contradiction to whatever this guy's

4624
02:46:57,660 --> 02:46:59,660
saying is bad journalism.

4625
02:46:59,860 --> 02:47:00,280
It is.

4626
02:47:00,520 --> 02:47:02,180
But it's what they're pushing today.

4627
02:47:02,740 --> 02:47:03,800
You gotta do that.

4628
02:47:03,900 --> 02:47:04,500
You gotta do that.

4629
02:47:04,600 --> 02:47:06,460
We're gonna go back to the studio now.

4630
02:47:06,560 --> 02:47:08,740
Let's talk about the politics of all this.

4631
02:47:09,280 --> 02:47:11,100
Obviously, we were just talking to the head

4632
02:47:11,100 --> 02:47:13,520
of the DNC about what happened in November.

4633
02:47:13,740 --> 02:47:15,240
Why Democrats may have lost.

4634
02:47:15,840 --> 02:47:16,980
Men central to that.

4635
02:47:17,080 --> 02:47:18,180
I'm not just talking about white men.

4636
02:47:18,180 --> 02:47:19,060
I'm talking about men.

4637
02:47:19,560 --> 02:47:20,760
Young men in particular.

4638
02:47:21,040 --> 02:47:24,140
So what are the political implications of that

4639
02:47:24,140 --> 02:47:25,160
report you just showed us?

4640
02:47:25,180 --> 02:47:26,740
I'm actually glad that you said not just

4641
02:47:26,740 --> 02:47:29,180
white men because this coalition that is bubbling

4642
02:47:29,180 --> 02:47:31,840
up is actually becoming more inclusive racially.

4643
02:47:32,160 --> 02:47:33,840
Which has been a little bit surprising, frankly,

4644
02:47:33,900 --> 02:47:34,660
to watch in the data.

4645
02:47:35,200 --> 02:47:37,440
But what economists say is that if you

4646
02:47:37,440 --> 02:47:39,340
actually look- If women are leaving the

4647
02:47:39,340 --> 02:47:41,740
church, where are these far-right men going

4648
02:47:41,740 --> 02:47:42,400
to meet these women?

4649
02:47:42,440 --> 02:47:43,560
If you're not meeting at the church, you're

4650
02:47:43,560 --> 02:47:44,360
not meeting at the bar.

4651
02:47:44,360 --> 02:47:46,180
But they're saying this actually could have implications

4652
02:47:46,180 --> 02:47:46,760
romantically.

4653
02:47:46,960 --> 02:47:48,980
It could have implications on the birth rate.

4654
02:47:49,060 --> 02:47:51,300
Because you can't pair if women are ideologically

4655
02:47:51,300 --> 02:47:52,940
so far left and you're moving so far

4656
02:47:52,940 --> 02:47:53,280
right.

4657
02:47:53,440 --> 02:47:55,880
Which means you're actually sort of compromising or

4658
02:47:55,880 --> 02:47:58,300
putting at risk the very traditional family that

4659
02:47:58,300 --> 02:47:59,200
you're trying to see.

4660
02:47:59,260 --> 02:48:01,220
So I found this to be an interesting

4661
02:48:01,220 --> 02:48:01,900
stretch.

4662
02:48:02,400 --> 02:48:04,440
It's like, if you join the church, you're

4663
02:48:04,440 --> 02:48:06,400
actually going to become an incel because there's

4664
02:48:06,400 --> 02:48:07,220
no women there.

4665
02:48:07,500 --> 02:48:08,780
No women in the church!

4666
02:48:09,380 --> 02:48:12,340
That'll be the day, by the way.

4667
02:48:12,340 --> 02:48:13,200
Right.

4668
02:48:14,040 --> 02:48:15,960
And so now they bring in two fun

4669
02:48:15,960 --> 02:48:16,480
terms.

4670
02:48:16,840 --> 02:48:21,840
I always use the term sparkle clergy or

4671
02:48:21,840 --> 02:48:23,780
rainbow church, but they have new ones.

4672
02:48:23,900 --> 02:48:26,780
Well, I'm reading a lot about women not

4673
02:48:26,780 --> 02:48:29,240
getting married, opting not to get married, not

4674
02:48:29,240 --> 02:48:31,060
finding- We've talked about that, yeah.

4675
02:48:31,840 --> 02:48:32,800
I'm curious.

4676
02:48:33,020 --> 02:48:34,440
These young men, are they going to the

4677
02:48:34,440 --> 02:48:38,980
church first and then finding the conservative political

4678
02:48:38,980 --> 02:48:39,500
messaging?

4679
02:48:39,920 --> 02:48:41,580
Or are they seeking it out?

4680
02:48:41,580 --> 02:48:43,060
Are they being indoctrinated?

4681
02:48:43,360 --> 02:48:44,700
And finding it in churches?

4682
02:48:44,940 --> 02:48:45,600
It's a great question.

4683
02:48:46,760 --> 02:48:48,180
Another great question!

4684
02:48:48,540 --> 02:48:50,240
Like the chicken or the egg, and the

4685
02:48:50,240 --> 02:48:51,060
answer is both.

4686
02:48:51,360 --> 02:48:53,320
And what surprised me is that the pastors

4687
02:48:53,320 --> 02:48:55,340
we spoke to said that the more strident

4688
02:48:55,340 --> 02:48:57,340
their message is against the mainstream.

4689
02:48:57,540 --> 02:48:59,260
We already know that basically two-thirds of

4690
02:48:59,260 --> 02:49:01,420
the country believes that same-sex marriage is

4691
02:49:01,420 --> 02:49:04,100
okay, abortion is okay, that transgender rights should

4692
02:49:04,100 --> 02:49:05,500
be part of the tapestry of this country.

4693
02:49:05,560 --> 02:49:07,080
But they're saying the more strident they are

4694
02:49:07,080 --> 02:49:09,320
against those things, they can use that as

4695
02:49:09,320 --> 02:49:10,100
a recruitment tool.

4696
02:49:10,100 --> 02:49:12,120
They said, we don't believe in gummy bear

4697
02:49:12,120 --> 02:49:14,980
Jesus or candy Christianity.

4698
02:49:15,280 --> 02:49:16,920
And they said- I love gummy bear

4699
02:49:16,920 --> 02:49:17,360
Jesus.

4700
02:49:17,620 --> 02:49:19,640
I never forgot sort of the analogy of

4701
02:49:19,640 --> 02:49:20,120
one pastor.

4702
02:49:20,240 --> 02:49:22,360
He said, look, you're welcome to come break

4703
02:49:22,360 --> 02:49:23,640
bread with us and have food at the

4704
02:49:23,640 --> 02:49:23,940
table.

4705
02:49:24,040 --> 02:49:25,700
But don't think we're changing the menu.

4706
02:49:25,880 --> 02:49:28,000
The menu was set millennia ago.

4707
02:49:28,280 --> 02:49:30,260
Yes, and then the final clip is about

4708
02:49:30,260 --> 02:49:31,980
the loneliness and regression.

4709
02:49:31,980 --> 02:49:34,400
To me, as we were having the same

4710
02:49:34,400 --> 02:49:38,520
conversation around the loneliness epidemic of men, young

4711
02:49:38,520 --> 02:49:40,980
men especially, it sounds like that the church

4712
02:49:40,980 --> 02:49:43,000
is a place where people are finding community.

4713
02:49:43,580 --> 02:49:45,880
And that community potentially could be- I

4714
02:49:45,880 --> 02:49:47,540
mean, the only time I can think of

4715
02:49:47,540 --> 02:49:50,760
is radicalizing them around this particular- There

4716
02:49:50,760 --> 02:49:52,540
you go, there you go.

4717
02:49:52,780 --> 02:49:53,520
Radicalize them!

4718
02:49:54,060 --> 02:49:57,100
Ideology as it relates to the nuclear family

4719
02:49:57,100 --> 02:49:59,220
and what millennia said.

4720
02:50:00,480 --> 02:50:02,680
It's crazy stuff they're doing there.

4721
02:50:02,720 --> 02:50:04,440
I don't think millennia had you in mind.

4722
02:50:04,580 --> 02:50:04,900
Or you.

4723
02:50:05,180 --> 02:50:05,600
Or me.

4724
02:50:06,240 --> 02:50:07,220
Did they know you were black?

4725
02:50:07,320 --> 02:50:08,080
That's what I want to know.

4726
02:50:09,620 --> 02:50:10,900
That wasn't the real question yet.

4727
02:50:11,620 --> 02:50:13,960
No, but the community, the community question.

4728
02:50:14,440 --> 02:50:16,780
Yeah, look, I think they are saying it's

4729
02:50:16,780 --> 02:50:18,180
a place that they can find community, but

4730
02:50:18,180 --> 02:50:20,420
it's what that community looks like now.

4731
02:50:20,540 --> 02:50:22,780
And they're saying they want to revert back

4732
02:50:22,780 --> 02:50:24,680
to this traditional community.

4733
02:50:24,800 --> 02:50:26,800
But they say that progress was such a

4734
02:50:26,800 --> 02:50:27,380
bad word.

4735
02:50:27,380 --> 02:50:27,880
Yes.

4736
02:50:27,920 --> 02:50:29,320
They don't want to see progress.

4737
02:50:29,400 --> 02:50:31,280
So the question is- I didn't hear

4738
02:50:31,280 --> 02:50:33,120
anyone say they don't want to see progress.

4739
02:50:33,440 --> 02:50:34,680
I didn't hear that either.

4740
02:50:34,800 --> 02:50:35,840
Where's she getting that from?

4741
02:50:36,420 --> 02:50:37,620
Or does it need to be regressive?

4742
02:50:37,620 --> 02:50:39,500
From her lesbian friends.

4743
02:50:39,800 --> 02:50:40,580
Yeah, exactly.

4744
02:50:41,180 --> 02:50:42,600
They don't want to see progress.

4745
02:50:42,700 --> 02:50:44,840
So the question is, is traditional even enough?

4746
02:50:45,120 --> 02:50:47,140
Or does it need to be regressive community?

4747
02:50:47,820 --> 02:50:49,980
And the opposite side of it is you

4748
02:50:49,980 --> 02:50:52,120
look at a lot of these progressive Christians

4749
02:50:52,120 --> 02:50:54,980
who say, Look, if you're denying someone inclusion

4750
02:50:54,980 --> 02:50:57,060
in your church because of DEI or some

4751
02:50:57,060 --> 02:50:59,600
such thing, are you reflecting the fact that

4752
02:50:59,600 --> 02:51:01,220
God created us all in his image?

4753
02:51:01,220 --> 02:51:01,800
It's interesting.

4754
02:51:01,960 --> 02:51:04,280
No one said they reject anyone.

4755
02:51:04,600 --> 02:51:06,140
Because if he created us in his image,

4756
02:51:06,240 --> 02:51:08,140
he created all of us and all of

4757
02:51:08,140 --> 02:51:08,920
our multiplicities.

4758
02:51:09,120 --> 02:51:10,600
So it's an interesting conversation.

4759
02:51:10,800 --> 02:51:13,260
Remarkable piece and remarkable conversation.

4760
02:51:13,440 --> 02:51:15,660
Oh, remarkable my ass.

4761
02:51:19,120 --> 02:51:20,440
Remarkable my ass.

4762
02:51:21,340 --> 02:51:24,400
Yeah, they don't know what to do with

4763
02:51:24,400 --> 02:51:24,620
it.

4764
02:51:25,520 --> 02:51:26,660
Well, they do actually.

4765
02:51:26,820 --> 02:51:28,440
Like, oh, just make it Trump.

4766
02:51:29,120 --> 02:51:29,600
It's Trump.

4767
02:51:30,400 --> 02:51:32,460
That brings us to the last two TikTok

4768
02:51:32,460 --> 02:51:33,020
clips.

4769
02:51:33,180 --> 02:51:34,160
Oh, I'm so happy.

4770
02:51:34,340 --> 02:51:36,000
Let's go with the TikTok clips.

4771
02:51:36,960 --> 02:51:38,000
Let's start with Kathy.

4772
02:51:38,520 --> 02:51:39,400
Kathy it is.

4773
02:51:39,560 --> 02:51:40,980
I just had dinner with a friend that

4774
02:51:40,980 --> 02:51:45,840
works for Catholic Charities of Dallas, Texas.

4775
02:51:46,260 --> 02:51:47,500
Okay, stick with me here.

4776
02:51:47,800 --> 02:51:49,680
This is going to disturb all of you.

4777
02:51:49,680 --> 02:51:54,560
They just got a letter from the tip

4778
02:51:54,560 --> 02:51:58,140
-top of the people in Washington telling them

4779
02:51:58,140 --> 02:52:01,200
that they would not get money to help

4780
02:52:01,200 --> 02:52:06,200
their charitable organization feed people if they did

4781
02:52:06,200 --> 02:52:09,880
not give up all of the names, addresses,

4782
02:52:10,380 --> 02:52:13,680
and information of all of the El Salvadorian.

4783
02:52:14,520 --> 02:52:15,800
El Salvadorian.

4784
02:52:16,100 --> 02:52:17,040
I can't even do it.

4785
02:52:17,380 --> 02:52:18,720
I can't even talk about it.

4786
02:52:18,720 --> 02:52:20,680
Because it makes me want to cry.

4787
02:52:21,500 --> 02:52:23,400
She said she is so torn.

4788
02:52:24,120 --> 02:52:26,420
But it came down from up above that

4789
02:52:26,420 --> 02:52:29,120
they have to give them up.

4790
02:52:29,300 --> 02:52:31,480
They have to give up all of their

4791
02:52:31,480 --> 02:52:35,080
information if they want the money to help

4792
02:52:35,080 --> 02:52:35,540
everyone.

4793
02:52:36,040 --> 02:52:38,360
How is this what we are living in?

4794
02:52:38,860 --> 02:52:40,820
How is this what is happening?

4795
02:52:41,680 --> 02:52:42,280
I can't.

4796
02:52:42,360 --> 02:52:44,300
I'm laughing earlier today, but I'm finishing out

4797
02:52:44,300 --> 02:52:45,420
the day fucking crying.

4798
02:52:46,660 --> 02:52:48,420
Oversocialized and undereducated.

4799
02:52:49,820 --> 02:52:51,540
They want to get a hold of the

4800
02:52:51,540 --> 02:52:54,340
MS-13 people, and they won't be able

4801
02:52:54,340 --> 02:52:55,080
to feed them.

4802
02:52:55,120 --> 02:52:57,740
But the Catholic Charities that she's talking about

4803
02:52:57,740 --> 02:53:00,160
is an immigrant resettlement organization.

4804
02:53:00,560 --> 02:53:00,840
Yeah, it's a scam.

4805
02:53:01,140 --> 02:53:02,300
It's a scam, yeah.

4806
02:53:02,460 --> 02:53:04,440
And I like how there's a subtext there.

4807
02:53:04,560 --> 02:53:06,760
It's coming from up above like God is

4808
02:53:06,760 --> 02:53:07,280
doing it.

4809
02:53:08,660 --> 02:53:10,240
We know what he's talking about.

4810
02:53:10,300 --> 02:53:11,280
He's coming from Trump.

4811
02:53:12,300 --> 02:53:13,200
Subtext, yeah.

4812
02:53:13,460 --> 02:53:14,440
Not God.

4813
02:53:15,420 --> 02:53:17,940
And here we have our Wisconsin nut.

4814
02:53:18,560 --> 02:53:18,700
Elon?

4815
02:53:19,140 --> 02:53:20,280
With the cheese on his head?

4816
02:53:20,720 --> 02:53:21,580
No, another one.

4817
02:53:22,680 --> 02:53:25,340
So Elon Musk is getting charged with a

4818
02:53:25,340 --> 02:53:28,020
possible felony in the state of Wisconsin for

4819
02:53:28,020 --> 02:53:29,100
bribery charges.

4820
02:53:29,380 --> 02:53:30,640
And if he comes to the state of

4821
02:53:30,640 --> 02:53:31,940
Wisconsin, he will be arrested.

4822
02:53:33,340 --> 02:53:36,940
Also, Mike Johnson was just arrested.

4823
02:53:38,560 --> 02:53:39,940
It's coming unraveled.

4824
02:53:39,940 --> 02:53:40,040
What?

4825
02:53:40,040 --> 02:53:43,720
I said that I thought eventually Elon Musk

4826
02:53:43,720 --> 02:53:45,720
was leaving and wasn't sure if he was

4827
02:53:45,720 --> 02:53:47,720
being deported, but it seemed like it.

4828
02:53:48,300 --> 02:53:50,600
Just thought I would let you guys know.

4829
02:53:51,180 --> 02:53:52,180
Blessings to you.

4830
02:53:52,300 --> 02:53:53,200
Make it a great day.

4831
02:53:53,320 --> 02:53:55,180
And I am one more day proud to

4832
02:53:55,180 --> 02:53:56,280
be from the state of Wisconsin.

4833
02:53:56,640 --> 02:53:56,960
All right.

4834
02:53:57,000 --> 02:53:58,960
Well, I have to say this is no

4835
02:53:58,960 --> 02:54:02,440
nuttier than Hillary Clinton is already at Gitmo.

4836
02:54:04,520 --> 02:54:08,360
And I'll admit quantum dots, quantum dots on

4837
02:54:08,360 --> 02:54:11,140
the ballots and the grid is going down.

4838
02:54:11,340 --> 02:54:12,200
Oh, man.

4839
02:54:12,580 --> 02:54:14,220
Social media is ruining.

4840
02:54:14,800 --> 02:54:16,740
Johnson's already been arrested.

4841
02:54:17,660 --> 02:54:19,500
And Elon, if he shows up in Wisconsin,

4842
02:54:19,580 --> 02:54:22,440
we saw him in Wisconsin, is going to

4843
02:54:22,440 --> 02:54:23,900
be arrested if he shows up.

4844
02:54:24,140 --> 02:54:25,280
It's unbelievable.

4845
02:54:25,640 --> 02:54:27,400
It's worse than anything.

4846
02:54:32,980 --> 02:54:33,620
Oh, yeah.

4847
02:54:41,140 --> 02:54:43,760
Still on the way, we have three dynamite

4848
02:54:43,760 --> 02:54:45,520
brand new end of show mixes you will

4849
02:54:45,520 --> 02:54:46,360
not want to miss.

4850
02:54:46,460 --> 02:54:47,840
We have tips of the day because I

4851
02:54:47,840 --> 02:54:49,660
also have a tip of the day today,

4852
02:54:49,760 --> 02:54:50,860
which I'm excited to share.

4853
02:54:51,260 --> 02:54:52,260
It's not always John.

4854
02:54:52,360 --> 02:54:53,580
Sometimes it's also me.

4855
02:54:53,900 --> 02:54:56,040
And we have meetups galore.

4856
02:54:56,040 --> 02:54:58,700

got a nice list of well wishes for

4858

4860
02:55:05,220 --> 02:55:05,620

4907
02:56:24,960 --> 02:56:26,500
I don't know why we don't have cities

4908
02:56:26,500 --> 02:56:29,640

4909
02:56:29,640 --> 02:56:30,440

02:58:05,400 --> 02:58:05,760
Wow.

4968
02:58:05,880 --> 02:58:08,420
73 revolutions, J.C.D. No wonder you're

4969
02:58:08,420 --> 02:58:09,180
so grouchy.

4970
02:58:11,200 --> 02:58:13,660
But then she says, love your insight.

4971
02:58:13,900 --> 02:58:14,000

4972
02:58:14,000 --> 02:58:14,360
Baron Nettes.

4973
02:58:14,480 --> 02:58:16,060
Ellen wants house-buying karma.

Oh.

4975
02:58:17,020 --> 02:58:20,840

She loves my insight.

4981
02:58:24,920 --> 02:58:26,340
Brendan Flemmer was so grouchy.

4982
02:58:26,340 --> 02:58:27,240
Brendan Flemmer.

4983
02:58:27,380 --> 02:58:27,880

02:58:30,560 --> 02:58:32,020
And he's the one.

4989
02:58:32,060 --> 02:58:32,220
Okay.

4992
02:58:35,480 --> 02:58:35,940
You're right.

4993
02:58:36,000 --> 02:58:36,460
That's different.

4994
02:58:36,460 --> 02:58:36,560
I was right.

4995
02:58:37,800 --> 02:58:39,820
She needs some house-buying karma.

4996
02:58:41,460 --> 02:58:42,620
We'll give you that at the end.

4997
02:58:42,720 --> 02:58:44,720

02:58:55,020 --> 02:58:56,280
for the first time and was never de

5004
02:58:56,280 --> 02:58:56,460
-duced.

5005
02:58:58,140 --> 02:58:59,740
You've been de-duced.

5006
02:58:59,780 --> 02:59:00,940
By the way, what an opportunity.

5007
02:59:01,140 --> 02:59:02,820

5015
02:59:19,720 --> 02:59:21,720
on me, you got me beat.

5016
02:59:21,860 --> 02:59:22,780
Just realized.

5017
02:59:24,080 --> 02:59:25,520
This is the way we do it.

Wait, uh, you, you, you crapped out for

5029
02:59:56,670 --> 02:59:56,990

Consider this, this interesting, this is a show

03:00:15,410 --> 03:00:18,890
multiplier, but it's $70, this has got nothing

5037
03:00:18,890 --> 03:00:19,510

03:05:45,530 --> 03:05:47,150

5177
03:06:13,390 --> 03:06:13,970
.com.

5178
03:06:21,270 --> 03:06:22,670
We love the meetups.

5179
03:06:22,870 --> 03:06:24,230
We love the meetup reports.

5180
03:06:24,690 --> 03:06:26,670
There's going to be a cool meetup.

5181
03:06:26,930 --> 03:06:28,770
Actually, there's a couple of cool meetups on

5182
03:06:28,770 --> 03:06:29,470
John's birthday.

5183
03:06:29,590 --> 03:06:31,150
But first, we have a report from a

5184
03:06:31,150 --> 03:06:32,810
very small meetup, but that doesn't matter.

5185
03:06:32,930 --> 03:06:34,770
A report is a report from the Not

5186
03:06:34,770 --> 03:06:36,490
For Fools meetup in Knoxville.

5187
03:06:36,590 --> 03:06:37,710
In the morning, No Agenda Nation.

5188
03:06:38,150 --> 03:06:40,370
This is Commodore Baron Bones checking in from

5189
03:06:40,370 --> 03:06:41,730
Barley's at the Knoxville meetup.

5190
03:06:41,970 --> 03:06:44,010
Only two people showed up, me and someone

5191
03:06:44,010 --> 03:06:44,330
else.

5192
03:06:44,550 --> 03:06:46,330
We'll hand off the microphone here in just

5193
03:06:46,330 --> 03:06:46,630
a moment.

5194
03:06:46,950 --> 03:06:48,730
But next time, we'll do a better job

5195
03:06:48,730 --> 03:06:49,830
of announcing this.

5196
03:06:50,070 --> 03:06:51,490
Because you get me a jingle that says,

5197
03:06:51,550 --> 03:06:53,170
Hey, it's Adam Currie in the No Agenda

5198
03:06:53,170 --> 03:06:53,490
Zone.

5199
03:06:53,630 --> 03:06:56,010
Make sure all of you Knoxville producers can

5200
03:06:56,010 --> 03:06:56,610
check it out.

5201
03:06:56,870 --> 03:06:57,590
Kind of a lonely night.

5202
03:06:57,770 --> 03:06:58,390
It's a Tuesday night.

5203
03:06:58,490 --> 03:06:59,270
I'm a disco jockey.

5204
03:06:59,410 --> 03:06:59,690
That's right.

5205
03:06:59,810 --> 03:07:00,770
Got to do it on a school night

5206
03:07:00,770 --> 03:07:01,790
because I'm busy on the weekends.

5207
03:07:02,070 --> 03:07:02,410
In the morning.

5208
03:07:02,670 --> 03:07:04,850
Adam, John, I want to thank you for

5209
03:07:04,850 --> 03:07:05,450
your courage.

5210
03:07:05,590 --> 03:07:08,650
This is Commodore Hogfather coming to you live

5211

from Knoxville, Tennessee.

5212
03:07:09,790 --> 03:07:12,210
Wow, two Commodores and they didn't have anybody

5213
03:07:12,210 --> 03:07:12,510
else.

5214
03:07:12,690 --> 03:07:14,450
You people missed out in Knoxville.

5215
03:07:14,590 --> 03:07:15,930
And of course, you could have had your

5216
03:07:15,930 --> 03:07:16,670
server in there.

5217
03:07:16,830 --> 03:07:19,030
Add your servers in your meetup reports.

5218
03:07:19,030 --> 03:07:19,650
They love it.

5219
03:07:19,730 --> 03:07:20,770
The establishments love it.

5220
03:07:20,830 --> 03:07:21,930
And it's fun to listen to.

5221
03:07:22,310 --> 03:07:24,310

03:07:30,330 --> 03:07:30,630

Go say hi to John.

03:08:02,970 --> 03:08:04,890
Ladies, make sure you kiss him.

5238
03:08:05,450 --> 03:08:06,430
He loves it.

5239
03:08:07,630 --> 03:08:09,090
That's it for our meetups.

5240
03:08:09,370 --> 03:08:10,310
Many more on the list.

5241
03:08:10,390 --> 03:08:12,530
You can find them all at noagendameetups.com.

5242

You can search by list, search by area.

5243
03:08:15,150 --> 03:08:17,230
And thank you all for the producers who

5244
03:08:17,230 --> 03:08:17,930
organized these.

5245
03:08:17,970 --> 03:08:20,370
They are producer-organized, but it's a great

5246
03:08:20,370 --> 03:08:22,630
way to get some protection because that's what

5247
03:08:22,630 --> 03:08:23,710
you get with that connection.

5248
03:08:23,830 --> 03:08:25,690
They are your first responders in an emergency.

5249
03:08:26,450 --> 03:08:28,710
noagendameetups.com If you can't find one near

5250
03:08:28,710 --> 03:08:30,630
you, I recommend you start one yourself.

5251
03:08:43,130 --> 03:08:46,370
You want to be where everybody feels the

5252
03:08:46,370 --> 03:08:50,390
same, it's like a party.

5253
03:08:50,650 --> 03:08:51,990
As we always like to do, we like

5254
03:08:51,990 --> 03:08:54,850
to select an end-of-show ISO, which

5255
03:08:54,850 --> 03:08:57,310
is really nothing more than just propagating the

5256
03:08:57,310 --> 03:09:01,630
truth that artificial intelligence is only good for

5257
03:09:01,630 --> 03:09:02,290
ISOs.

5258
03:09:02,370 --> 03:09:03,990
There's no other reason to use it.

5259
03:09:04,450 --> 03:09:05,930
Here's my real ISO.

5260
03:09:06,090 --> 03:09:06,890
I call him a spook.

5261
03:09:07,770 --> 03:09:08,670
That's all I got.

5262
03:09:08,750 --> 03:09:10,210
And I'm sure yours are much better.

5263
03:09:10,310 --> 03:09:11,730
Oh, you could have done better.

5264
03:09:11,730 --> 03:09:12,950
No, I'm not even trying.

5265
03:09:13,430 --> 03:09:14,170
I'm not even trying.

5266
03:09:14,530 --> 03:09:15,710
Well, I'm going to stop doing these if

5267
03:09:15,710 --> 03:09:16,450
you stop trying.

5268
03:09:17,110 --> 03:09:18,630
You have a lozenge in your mouth.

5269
03:09:19,790 --> 03:09:21,550
Yeah, I'm chewing on it now to get

5270
03:09:21,550 --> 03:09:21,970
rid of it.

5271
03:09:22,170 --> 03:09:23,350
Okay, let's start with the ISO.

5272
03:09:23,790 --> 03:09:24,510
This is better.

5273
03:09:24,930 --> 03:09:27,270
Wow, that was better than a dirty Sanchez.

5274
03:09:33,810 --> 03:09:35,070
How can I compete?

5275
03:09:35,270 --> 03:09:36,230
I can't compete.

5276
03:09:36,610 --> 03:09:38,990
And you have a dirty mind, John C.

5277
03:09:39,030 --> 03:09:39,370
Dvorak.

5278
03:09:39,910 --> 03:09:42,250
And still going strong with this dirty mind.

5279
03:09:42,370 --> 03:09:42,950
That was a good one.

5280
03:09:43,250 --> 03:09:43,770
What's the next?

5281
03:09:44,750 --> 03:09:45,630
Uh, this is a fine.

5282
03:09:49,870 --> 03:09:52,230
No, that doesn't beat the dirty Sanchez.

5283
03:09:52,550 --> 03:09:53,510
Yeah, but you can't use it.

5284
03:09:53,570 --> 03:09:54,290
Try this one.

5285
03:09:54,430 --> 03:09:55,270
The last was so good.

5286
03:09:59,950 --> 03:10:01,350
That's the one, man.

5287
03:10:01,450 --> 03:10:02,070
That's the one.

5288
03:10:02,130 --> 03:10:02,690
That's a winner.

5289
03:10:02,930 --> 03:10:04,450
This is no two ways about it.

5290
03:10:04,510 --> 03:10:07,190
Hey, it is time now for John's illustrious

5291
03:10:07,190 --> 03:10:08,350
tip of the day.

5292
03:10:09,490 --> 03:10:12,210
Great advice for you and me.

5293
03:10:12,530 --> 03:10:15,230
Just a tip with JCD.

5294
03:10:15,690 --> 03:10:17,410
And sometimes Adam.

5295
03:10:18,190 --> 03:10:19,250
Created by Dana Brunetti.

5296
03:10:19,350 --> 03:10:20,390
Can I do my, uh?

5297
03:10:20,570 --> 03:10:22,630
Yeah, do yours first and I'll follow up.

5298
03:10:22,810 --> 03:10:25,270
Uh, we were talking about toilet seats on

5299
03:10:25,270 --> 03:10:26,150
a pre on several.

5300
03:10:26,330 --> 03:10:28,530
We have talked about toilet scenes quite a

5301
03:10:28,530 --> 03:10:30,070
bit on this show as it turns out.

5302
03:10:30,070 --> 03:10:30,450
We shouldn't.

5303
03:10:30,950 --> 03:10:34,030
Well, there is a, uh, a toilet seat

5304
03:10:34,030 --> 03:10:37,830
that is a electronic bidet toilet seat.

5305
03:10:37,830 --> 03:10:40,850
It does the full, the full wash, the

5306
03:10:40,850 --> 03:10:42,370
full, uh, everything you want.

5307
03:10:42,450 --> 03:10:44,190
It has the heated seat and it doesn't

5308
03:10:44,190 --> 03:10:45,090
look dorky.

5309
03:10:45,730 --> 03:10:47,970
It actually looks pretty cool.

5310
03:10:48,590 --> 03:10:50,310
It is the washlet.

5311
03:10:51,770 --> 03:10:55,490
C5 round electronic bidet toilet seats.

5312
03:10:55,970 --> 03:10:57,290
And I get it.

5313
03:10:57,390 --> 03:10:58,730
Wash let wash.

5314
03:10:58,830 --> 03:11:01,330
Let's the washlet w a s h l

5315
03:11:01,330 --> 03:11:05,690
e t c five round electronic bidet toilet

5316
03:11:05,690 --> 03:11:06,090
seats.

5317
03:11:06,090 --> 03:11:07,770
And it won't break the bank.

5318
03:11:08,290 --> 03:11:09,490
Now I have, I have a, it's not

5319
03:11:09,490 --> 03:11:09,950
a whole toy.

5320
03:11:10,010 --> 03:11:10,630
It's just the seat.

5321
03:11:10,790 --> 03:11:11,430
It's just the seat.

5322
03:11:11,490 --> 03:11:11,770
Yes.

5323
03:11:12,050 --> 03:11:14,190
But it's not like some dorky, you know,

5324
03:11:14,190 --> 03:11:15,830
it looks like a normal seat.

5325
03:11:15,890 --> 03:11:17,810
It has a remote control supposed to look

5326
03:11:17,810 --> 03:11:20,070
like it has a remote control and you

5327
03:11:20,070 --> 03:11:21,490
can control the sprayer.

5328
03:11:21,670 --> 03:11:23,070
It has a remote control.

5329
03:11:23,070 --> 03:11:24,930
So somebody can walk by while you're in

5330
03:11:24,930 --> 03:11:25,510
the pot.

5331
03:11:25,610 --> 03:11:26,930
Next thing you know, you're soaked.

5332
03:11:27,110 --> 03:11:29,110
Well, you should use, you keep the remote

5333
03:11:29,110 --> 03:11:30,490
control in the bathroom.

5334
03:11:31,110 --> 03:11:32,910
Um, but why does it need to be

5335
03:11:32,910 --> 03:11:33,270
remote?

5336
03:11:33,290 --> 03:11:34,650
Then you're right there.

5337
03:11:34,650 --> 03:11:36,490
Well, because otherwise you have the, like a

5338
03:11:36,490 --> 03:11:38,410
huge handle sticking out of the seat and

5339
03:11:38,410 --> 03:11:39,770
that's what makes it looks dumb.

5340
03:11:39,990 --> 03:11:41,830
Looks like a geriatric device.

5341
03:11:42,010 --> 03:11:43,290
So there's a bunch of these is the

5342
03:11:43,290 --> 03:11:43,630
Toto.

5343
03:11:43,870 --> 03:11:44,810
There's the washlet.

5344
03:11:44,870 --> 03:11:46,250
Yeah, that's it.

5345
03:11:46,330 --> 03:11:46,890
The Toto.

5346
03:11:46,950 --> 03:11:49,590
The Toto is 350 bucks from Amazon, but

5347
03:11:49,590 --> 03:11:52,130
the washlet C5, which looks like the exact

5348
03:11:52,130 --> 03:11:56,250
same thing in Chinese version from Ali expresses

5349
03:11:56,250 --> 03:11:57,390
two 77.

5350
03:11:58,030 --> 03:11:58,230
Yeah.

5351
03:11:58,310 --> 03:12:00,770
But you, you, you're forgetting to include the

5352
03:12:00,770 --> 03:12:02,890
54% tariff.

5353
03:12:04,330 --> 03:12:06,690
Well, now's the time before the tariff goes

5354
03:12:06,690 --> 03:12:07,170
into play.

5355
03:12:07,610 --> 03:12:08,950
Get your toilet seat quick, everybody.

5356
03:12:09,090 --> 03:12:12,750
Meanwhile, Walmart has the same seat for 493.

5357
03:12:14,430 --> 03:12:16,770
And well, this is good.

5358
03:12:16,890 --> 03:12:18,310
So there's, there's different places.

5359
03:12:18,510 --> 03:12:20,550
You can get an example of Amazon actually

5360
03:12:20,550 --> 03:12:23,590
having cheaper than Walmart, which is not usually

5361
03:12:23,590 --> 03:12:24,190
the case.

5362
03:12:24,470 --> 03:12:24,630
Interesting.

5363
03:12:24,670 --> 03:12:26,510
And you can get it in two days

5364
03:12:26,510 --> 03:12:28,070
from price.

5365
03:12:29,830 --> 03:12:36,050
Yeah, I, I know, but I'm, I'm considering

5366
03:12:36,050 --> 03:12:36,330
this.

5367
03:12:37,010 --> 03:12:38,530
Why did you get the one from China

5368
03:12:38,530 --> 03:12:38,910
then?

5369
03:12:39,370 --> 03:12:41,390
I always feel exact product.

5370
03:12:41,550 --> 03:12:43,610
If there's anything you use every single day,

5371
03:12:43,610 --> 03:12:48,210
like shoes, you know, uh, mattress, you know,

5372
03:12:48,210 --> 03:12:49,590
I use our toilet every day.

5373
03:12:49,630 --> 03:12:51,930
I, I am definitely, you don't think the

5374
03:12:51,930 --> 03:12:54,470
same, this one is from Amazon's not the

5375
03:12:54,470 --> 03:12:56,250
China one is the same one.

5376
03:12:56,350 --> 03:12:57,430
I didn't say it wasn't.

5377
03:12:57,430 --> 03:12:58,850
I'm just talking about the model.

5378
03:12:58,970 --> 03:13:00,350
I'm just saying, this is what you want.

5379
03:13:00,430 --> 03:13:01,330
This looks sleek.

5380
03:13:01,470 --> 03:13:04,250
It looks modern and it does the deed.

5381
03:13:04,650 --> 03:13:06,610
It's a good looking product.

5382
03:13:07,070 --> 03:13:08,110
It's a good looking products.

5383
03:13:08,230 --> 03:13:08,510
All right.

5384
03:13:08,550 --> 03:13:10,550
You are in a grouchy mood.

5385
03:13:11,090 --> 03:13:14,010
All right.

5386
03:13:14,090 --> 03:13:16,570
Well, I got something that's off beat, although

5387
03:13:16,570 --> 03:13:18,050
we can just stay with that one tip.

5388
03:13:18,070 --> 03:13:18,770
We don't need two.

5389
03:13:18,990 --> 03:13:20,170
I want your tip.

5390
03:13:22,520 --> 03:13:24,800
Uh, this is something JC turned me on

5391
03:13:24,800 --> 03:13:27,340
to and I, so I got one and

5392
03:13:27,340 --> 03:13:28,040
I checked it out.

5393
03:13:28,040 --> 03:13:29,260
It's kind of cool to have.

5394
03:13:29,360 --> 03:13:30,660
I think it's important to have one in

5395
03:13:30,660 --> 03:13:34,020
around the house, a Geiger counter.

5396
03:13:34,460 --> 03:13:35,960
I have a Geiger counter.

5397
03:13:36,900 --> 03:13:38,780
Do you have the little handheld one?

5398
03:13:38,820 --> 03:13:40,140
It's about the size of a cell phone.

5399
03:13:40,280 --> 03:13:42,300
No, I have a, uh, a world war

5400
03:13:42,300 --> 03:13:43,340
two Geiger counter.

5401
03:13:43,440 --> 03:13:43,700
One of those.

5402
03:13:43,720 --> 03:13:45,080
Yeah, no, this is a newer version.

5403
03:13:45,200 --> 03:13:45,420
Yeah.

5404
03:13:45,540 --> 03:13:45,780
Yeah.

5405
03:13:46,060 --> 03:13:46,280
Yeah.

5406
03:13:46,280 --> 03:13:47,320
I had one of those.

5407
03:13:47,380 --> 03:13:48,540
They're too big and clunky.

5408
03:13:48,700 --> 03:13:48,840
Yeah.

5409
03:13:48,880 --> 03:13:49,640
They're very clunky.

5410
03:13:50,220 --> 03:13:52,400
This is a modern Geiger counter.

5411
03:13:52,480 --> 03:13:55,140
Of course it's made in China and a

5412
03:13:55,140 --> 03:13:56,320
GQ electronics.

5413
03:13:56,320 --> 03:13:57,640
It's actually says Seattle.

5414
03:13:58,160 --> 03:14:00,920
It says Seattle, Washington on the, when it

5415
03:14:00,920 --> 03:14:01,900
opens, but it's Chinese.

5416
03:14:02,040 --> 03:14:02,760
Give me a break.

5417
03:14:02,900 --> 03:14:06,040
And it's the G Q E a GMC

5418
03:14:06,040 --> 03:14:06,620
800.

5419
03:14:06,940 --> 03:14:08,180
You can get that, but there's other ones

5420
03:14:08,180 --> 03:14:08,820
that are similar.

5421
03:14:08,940 --> 03:14:12,160
They're all under a hundred dollars and they

5422
03:14:12,160 --> 03:14:13,520
have a little sensor on the side of

5423
03:14:13,520 --> 03:14:16,060
the Geiger tube, uh, at least a modern

5424
03:14:16,060 --> 03:14:18,760
version, I guess, is somebody's miniaturized it.

5425
03:14:19,120 --> 03:14:20,860
And I think it's handy to have.

5426
03:14:20,880 --> 03:14:22,000
And I had checked it out.

5427
03:14:22,000 --> 03:14:27,500
I have a uranium rock amongst my collection.

5428
03:14:27,620 --> 03:14:28,640
Of course you do.

5429
03:14:28,880 --> 03:14:31,560
Doesn't everybody have a uranium rock laying around

5430
03:14:31,560 --> 03:14:34,520
next to the uranium rock next to the

5431
03:14:34,520 --> 03:14:35,520
cheddar cheese hat?

5432
03:14:35,640 --> 03:14:37,920
It's it's it's sealed in a lead thing.

5433
03:14:38,200 --> 03:14:39,380
And I checked it.

5434
03:14:39,460 --> 03:14:39,660
Yup.

5435
03:14:39,860 --> 03:14:41,240
It could see the uranium.

5436
03:14:42,040 --> 03:14:43,320
And so it works.

5437
03:14:44,260 --> 03:14:47,240
It's funny because I'm actually slightly radioactive.

5438
03:14:48,300 --> 03:14:48,900
Wow.

5439
03:14:48,900 --> 03:14:50,080
Seems like humans.

5440
03:14:50,800 --> 03:14:52,920
I mean, the background on this, the background

5441
03:14:52,920 --> 03:14:55,800
is around eight or just no radiation at

5442
03:14:55,800 --> 03:14:55,960
all.

5443
03:14:56,000 --> 03:14:57,660
And then when you're, when you're hanging it

5444
03:14:57,660 --> 03:15:00,040
around a person, it'll go up to 10.

5445
03:15:00,220 --> 03:15:02,920
Now, if you hit the uranium sky, have

5446
03:15:02,920 --> 03:15:04,500
you tried a banana?

5447
03:15:05,660 --> 03:15:06,420
Not yet.

5448
03:15:06,500 --> 03:15:08,120
Not to mention I should try a banana.

5449
03:15:08,280 --> 03:15:09,040
What other things?

5450
03:15:09,100 --> 03:15:11,840
I mean, what is the actual usefulness of

5451
03:15:11,840 --> 03:15:14,000
a Geiger counter around the house?

5452
03:15:14,800 --> 03:15:17,440
To check your water supply, maybe to check

5453
03:15:17,440 --> 03:15:19,360
to see if there's somebody serving you tea.

5454
03:15:19,840 --> 03:15:21,140
You might want to make sure it's not

5455
03:15:21,140 --> 03:15:23,500
laced with plutonium to try to kill you.

5456
03:15:23,920 --> 03:15:24,960
That's one good use.

5457
03:15:25,060 --> 03:15:26,660
Is this a portable device that you can

5458
03:15:26,660 --> 03:15:26,940
take with you?

5459
03:15:26,940 --> 03:15:28,380
Yeah, it's the size of a cell phone.

5460
03:15:28,480 --> 03:15:29,120
It's very small.

5461
03:15:29,240 --> 03:15:30,100
Oh, you can take it with you to

5462
03:15:30,100 --> 03:15:32,300
the Russian tea room where they might try

5463
03:15:32,300 --> 03:15:32,400
something.

5464
03:15:32,400 --> 03:15:33,800
You could take it to the Russian tea

5465
03:15:33,800 --> 03:15:35,640
room and then you could pull it out.

5466
03:15:35,700 --> 03:15:37,200
You could also take to the fish market

5467
03:15:37,200 --> 03:15:39,300
to make sure you're not getting radioactive salmon.

5468
03:15:39,880 --> 03:15:42,020
These are all, this is tips within tips.

5469
03:15:42,800 --> 03:15:45,540
Yeah, there's a lot of potential uses.

5470
03:15:46,320 --> 03:15:48,040
So I just think everyone should have a

5471
03:15:48,040 --> 03:15:48,640
Geiger counter.

5472
03:15:48,800 --> 03:15:50,420
Come on, it's 2025.

5473
03:15:51,220 --> 03:15:52,080
Yeah, that's right, everybody.

5474
03:15:52,260 --> 03:15:53,200
Get your Geiger counter.

5475
03:15:53,400 --> 03:15:57,320
Find out more at tipoftheday.net, noagendafund.com.

5476
03:16:03,640 --> 03:16:04,140
Wow.

5477
03:16:08,280 --> 03:16:09,480
Wow, wow, wow.

5478
03:16:10,160 --> 03:16:12,420
That's why people stick the whole show out,

5479
03:16:12,580 --> 03:16:14,440
John, just to hear stuff like that.

5480
03:16:14,540 --> 03:16:15,440
It is 2025.

5481
03:16:15,880 --> 03:16:17,460
Everybody should have a Geiger counter.

5482
03:16:17,620 --> 03:16:18,360
I cannot disagree.

5483
03:16:19,460 --> 03:16:21,960
Cannot disagree, particularly at the Russian tea room.

5484
03:16:22,120 --> 03:16:22,720
It's very important.

5485
03:16:26,180 --> 03:16:26,940
Let's see.

5486
03:16:27,180 --> 03:16:29,400
We have, oh, Bowl after Bowl coming up

5487
03:16:29,400 --> 03:16:31,140
next on the No Agenda stream.

5488
03:16:32,220 --> 03:16:33,840
Stick around in the troll room if you're

5489
03:16:33,840 --> 03:16:35,900
still there, trollroom.io. Or you can just

5490
03:16:35,900 --> 03:16:37,840
keep listening on your modern podcast app.

5491
03:16:37,840 --> 03:16:40,020
Everything switches over automatically.

5492
03:16:40,260 --> 03:16:41,660
It's a beautiful system.

5493
03:16:42,000 --> 03:16:44,920
From the number one podcast directory in the

5494
03:16:44,920 --> 03:16:47,220
universe, podcastindex.org.

5495
03:16:48,600 --> 03:16:49,480
End of show mixes.

5496
03:16:49,740 --> 03:16:50,580
We have new ones.

5497
03:16:51,060 --> 03:16:52,960
Hugh Allison, haven't had one from him in

5498
03:16:52,960 --> 03:16:53,340
a while.

5499
03:16:53,760 --> 03:16:56,160
Steve Jones of the Jones Brothers Syndicate is

5500
03:16:56,160 --> 03:16:56,440
back.

5501
03:16:56,560 --> 03:16:57,700
And James Boss.

5502
03:16:58,460 --> 03:17:00,440
All wonderful end of show mixes.

5503
03:17:01,700 --> 03:17:03,560
And we'll be back on Sunday.

5504
03:17:03,800 --> 03:17:07,100
You will, of course, enjoy the media deconstruction.

5505
03:17:07,840 --> 03:17:09,560
The news rip apartage.

5506
03:17:10,600 --> 03:17:11,920
And I will be coming to you then

5507
03:17:11,920 --> 03:17:14,140
again from the heart of the Texas Hill

5508
03:17:14,140 --> 03:17:16,200
Country in FEMA region number six.

5509
03:17:16,320 --> 03:17:17,180
In the morning, everybody.

5510
03:17:17,380 --> 03:17:17,960
I'm Adam Curry.

5511
03:17:18,940 --> 03:17:21,100
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain.

5512
03:17:21,260 --> 03:17:21,800
I'm John C.

5513
03:17:21,860 --> 03:17:22,180
Dvorak.

5514
03:17:22,220 --> 03:17:24,860
See you guys at the Violetta Pizzeria in

5515
03:17:24,860 --> 03:17:25,860
Oakland next Saturday.

5516
03:17:26,020 --> 03:17:27,100
Happy birthday, John.

5517
03:17:27,340 --> 03:17:30,760
And remember us at noagendadonations.com.

5518
03:17:31,080 --> 03:17:33,980
Until Sunday, adios, mofos, hui hui, and such.

5519
03:17:34,000 --> 03:17:34,900
I'm not buying it.

5520
03:17:36,380 --> 03:17:37,580
I'm not buying.

5521
03:17:37,640 --> 03:17:38,420
I'm not buying.

5522
03:17:38,460 --> 03:17:39,500
You're not buying it.

5523
03:17:39,500 --> 03:17:41,300
I'm not buying the fact that she's.

5524
03:17:41,500 --> 03:17:42,200
It's bullshit.

5525
03:17:42,420 --> 03:17:43,560
Again, not buying it.

5526
03:17:43,640 --> 03:17:44,460
You're not buying anything.

5527
03:17:44,740 --> 03:17:46,240
Can I sell you anything today?

5528
03:17:46,660 --> 03:17:48,820
For that, I'm not buying it.

5529
03:17:51,220 --> 03:17:53,480
I am, as you would say, not buying

5530
03:17:53,480 --> 03:17:53,680
it.

5531
03:17:54,140 --> 03:17:55,800
Yeah, I saw the fly.

5532
03:17:56,020 --> 03:17:57,080
I'm not buying it.

5533
03:18:00,240 --> 03:18:01,580
Do you buy that?

5534
03:18:02,640 --> 03:18:04,040
I mean, I'm not quite sure why.

5535
03:18:04,040 --> 03:18:06,820
Not buying it because I'm just not buying

5536
03:18:06,820 --> 03:18:07,240
it.

5537
03:18:07,380 --> 03:18:08,680
I don't buy that.

5538
03:18:08,740 --> 03:18:10,040
I'm not buying that.

5539
03:18:11,780 --> 03:18:13,200
I know what you're doing.

5540
03:18:13,400 --> 03:18:14,380
Yeah, but I'm not.

5541
03:18:14,600 --> 03:18:15,380
You're not buying it.

5542
03:18:15,680 --> 03:18:16,740
I didn't say that.

5543
03:18:16,840 --> 03:18:17,940
Oh, I came so close.

5544
03:18:18,480 --> 03:18:19,680
Shut up, slave.

5545
03:18:20,220 --> 03:18:20,680
Thank you.

5546
03:18:20,700 --> 03:18:21,120
Thank you.

5547
03:18:21,360 --> 03:18:23,980
Thank you for holding us down, down.

5548
03:18:24,620 --> 03:18:25,280
Five years.

5549
03:18:25,380 --> 03:18:27,260
We are a toddler, toddler.

5550
03:18:27,460 --> 03:18:28,900
And we are in these streets in this

5551
03:18:28,900 --> 03:18:29,120
world.

5552
03:18:34,300 --> 03:18:35,660
When you are in the midst of a

5553
03:18:35,660 --> 03:18:39,840
crisis, and specifically a crisis of democracy, how

5554
03:18:39,840 --> 03:18:40,380
do you resist?

5555
03:18:41,200 --> 03:18:43,760
When fascism isn't just coming, it's already here.

5556
03:18:46,860 --> 03:18:49,040
We are going to talk about what people

5557
03:18:49,040 --> 03:18:52,900
are actually doing to resist this.

5558
03:18:55,300 --> 03:18:56,460
Drank it old-fashioned.

5559
03:18:56,740 --> 03:18:57,400
Old-fashioned.

5560
03:18:57,800 --> 03:18:58,860
Number two, took a nap.

5561
03:18:59,120 --> 03:18:59,860
Old-fashioned, took a nap.

5562
03:18:59,860 --> 03:19:02,640
Number three, delighted co-workers with sarcasm.

5563
03:19:02,980 --> 03:19:04,480
Sarcasm, sarcasm.

5564
03:19:04,500 --> 03:19:08,080
Put Black History Month stickers, stickers, stickers, on

5565
03:19:08,080 --> 03:19:10,720
bulletin board and gave out emotional support dumpster

5566
03:19:10,720 --> 03:19:10,960
fires.

5567
03:19:14,120 --> 03:19:17,520
And last but not least, number one, executed

5568
03:19:17,520 --> 03:19:19,240
low productivity tasking.

5569
03:19:19,260 --> 03:19:21,600
