1
00:00:00,370 --> 00:00:01,810
It's a Glowing in the Dark's a giveaway.

2
00:00:01,970 --> 00:00:03,770
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:04,330
Dvorak.

4
00:00:04,390 --> 00:00:06,290
It's Sunday, August 24th, 2025.

5
00:00:06,670 --> 00:00:08,090
This is your award-winning give-a-nation

6
00:00:08,090 --> 00:00:10,070
media assassination episode 1793.

7
00:00:10,970 --> 00:00:12,550
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:13,810 --> 00:00:15,630
Weaponizing everything again.

9
00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:17,890
Broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas

10
00:00:17,890 --> 00:00:20,310
hill country here in FEMA region number 6.

11
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:21,750
In the morning, everybody.

12
00:00:22,050 --> 00:00:22,810
I'm Adam Curry.

13
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:26,170
And from northern Silicon Valley where Abrego Garcia

14
00:00:26,170 --> 00:00:29,370
wasn't mistakenly sent to El Salvador.

15
00:00:29,610 --> 00:00:30,050
I'm John C.

16
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:30,550
Dvorak.

17
00:00:31,110 --> 00:00:33,890
It's quite in the morning.

18
00:00:34,610 --> 00:00:36,830
I like the whole Uganda gamut myself.

19
00:00:37,930 --> 00:00:39,090
I think that's pretty funny.

20
00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:42,430
I have some clips on this and it's

21
00:00:42,430 --> 00:00:44,430
quite ironic but first I want to make

22
00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:44,670
this.

23
00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:47,050
This was on Fox this morning and they

24
00:00:47,050 --> 00:00:48,350
all say this.

25
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:52,770
Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man, the Maryland dad.

26
00:00:52,930 --> 00:00:54,190
Oh yeah, Maryland man.

27
00:00:54,610 --> 00:00:54,710
Yes.

28
00:00:55,190 --> 00:00:57,450
Maryland was Maryland dad at first.

29
00:00:57,650 --> 00:00:57,790
Yes.

30
00:00:57,790 --> 00:00:59,430
Maryland father.

31
00:00:59,630 --> 00:01:00,450
Maryland father.

32
00:01:00,610 --> 00:01:01,590
Father from Maryland.

33
00:01:01,910 --> 00:01:02,150
Yes.

34
00:01:02,890 --> 00:01:05,150
So they keep saying, and this was on

35
00:01:05,150 --> 00:01:09,330
Fox, mistakenly sent to El Salvadorian prison.

36
00:01:09,450 --> 00:01:11,610
Oh, I'm outraged that Fox would have something

37
00:01:11,610 --> 00:01:12,130
wrong.

38
00:01:13,890 --> 00:01:14,490
Please.

39
00:01:15,490 --> 00:01:16,730
It all sucks.

40
00:01:17,050 --> 00:01:17,690
It all sucks.

41
00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:19,150
They all use this adverb.

42
00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:22,450
This is the same thing with Trump falsely

43
00:01:22,450 --> 00:01:25,810
claimed that the elections were rigged.

44
00:01:25,810 --> 00:01:27,950
This is an adverb you throw at the

45
00:01:27,950 --> 00:01:28,250
beginning.

46
00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:29,910
This is not reporting.

47
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:31,390
This is propaganda.

48
00:01:32,330 --> 00:01:35,710
Well now, I need to clutch my pearls.

49
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:36,730
You should.

50
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:37,810
I think the main...

51
00:01:37,810 --> 00:01:41,110
Has MSNBC changed to MSNOW yet?

52
00:01:41,930 --> 00:01:42,790
Ms. Now?

53
00:01:43,010 --> 00:01:43,710
When does that happen?

54
00:01:44,050 --> 00:01:46,130
I can't wait to see the logo change.

55
00:01:47,890 --> 00:01:49,090
I don't know.

56
00:01:49,770 --> 00:01:51,230
I think it has to be taken over

57
00:01:51,230 --> 00:01:54,170
or somebody has to cut a ribbon.

58
00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:57,710
Cut a ribbon.

59
00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:00,090
Is a ribbon cutting involved?

60
00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:01,010
Yeah.

61
00:02:02,190 --> 00:02:02,790
I wonder...

62
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:06,470
I got two clips.

63
00:02:06,670 --> 00:02:07,889
Abrego Garcia PBS.

64
00:02:08,310 --> 00:02:09,090
Alright, here we go.

65
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:12,350
Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia say the Department

66
00:02:12,350 --> 00:02:14,810
of Homeland Security has told them that the

67
00:02:14,810 --> 00:02:17,430
government plans to deport their client to Uganda.

68
00:02:18,130 --> 00:02:20,510
El Salvador National reunited with his family in

69
00:02:20,510 --> 00:02:22,950
Maryland last night after being released from a

70
00:02:22,950 --> 00:02:23,730
Tennessee jail.

71
00:02:23,730 --> 00:02:26,750
He's awaiting trial on human smuggling charges to

72
00:02:26,750 --> 00:02:28,150
which he's pleaded not guilty.

73
00:02:28,430 --> 00:02:30,410
Today has been a very special day because,

74
00:02:30,730 --> 00:02:32,970
thank God, I am back with family after

75
00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:35,450
more than 160 days and I would like

76
00:02:35,450 --> 00:02:37,090
to thank all the people who have been

77
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:39,670
supporting me because after such a long time

78
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:42,230
I am realizing that many people have been

79
00:02:42,230 --> 00:02:43,070
by my side.

80
00:02:43,510 --> 00:02:46,650
DHS ordered Abrego Garcia to report by Monday

81
00:02:46,650 --> 00:02:48,950
to an ICE removal office in Baltimore.

82
00:02:49,570 --> 00:02:51,530
That came after he declined an offer to

83
00:02:51,530 --> 00:02:53,990
be sent to Costa Rica in exchange for

84
00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:54,730
pleading guilty.

85
00:02:55,710 --> 00:02:56,150
Alright.

86
00:02:57,630 --> 00:03:00,550
The whole thing was they're going to make

87
00:03:00,550 --> 00:03:02,350
their lives miserable and he's not going to

88
00:03:02,350 --> 00:03:04,470
plead guilty to this smuggling.

89
00:03:04,670 --> 00:03:05,450
No, why should he?

90
00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:08,230
In exchange, they'd ship him to Costa Rica

91
00:03:09,590 --> 00:03:11,130
but no, they said, okay, if you're not

92
00:03:11,130 --> 00:03:12,110
going to do that, we're going to send

93
00:03:12,110 --> 00:03:12,210
you.

94
00:03:12,450 --> 00:03:14,290
They do a deal with Uganda.

95
00:03:14,650 --> 00:03:15,990
This is the best part.

96
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:17,710
This is hilarious.

97
00:03:18,350 --> 00:03:20,690
We have been doing business with Uganda.

98
00:03:20,870 --> 00:03:21,770
We do a lot of business.

99
00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:23,930
Well, we're going to do business with human

100
00:03:23,930 --> 00:03:24,390
people.

101
00:03:26,410 --> 00:03:29,070
The Brits wanted to do this with Rwanda

102
00:03:29,870 --> 00:03:31,750
and they never pulled it off but I

103
00:03:31,750 --> 00:03:34,430
think we might actually send a couple of

104
00:03:34,430 --> 00:03:35,970
dudes to Uganda.

105
00:03:36,170 --> 00:03:37,450
This is going to teach them a lesson

106
00:03:37,450 --> 00:03:42,010
but there's a very strange irony to this

107
00:03:42,010 --> 00:03:45,570
which makes it funny at least to me.

108
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:47,390
This is the other clip.

109
00:03:47,470 --> 00:03:48,750
This is the clip from the BBC.

110
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:51,970
A man who was wrongly deported by the

111
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:54,610
Trump administration to a prison in El Salvador

112
00:03:54,610 --> 00:03:57,710
has been told by US immigration officials that

113
00:03:57,710 --> 00:03:59,970
he may now be expelled to Uganda within

114
00:03:59,970 --> 00:04:00,550
days.

115
00:04:01,130 --> 00:04:04,110
On Friday, Kilmar Abrigo Garcia was freed from

116
00:04:04,110 --> 00:04:06,330
a Tennessee jail where he had been held

117
00:04:06,330 --> 00:04:08,310
since his return to the United States.

118
00:04:08,810 --> 00:04:11,030
Earlier, Kampala said it had struck a deal

119
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:14,470
with Washington to accept deportees from third countries

120
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:16,670
provided they had no criminal record.

121
00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:17,769
No.

122
00:04:18,690 --> 00:04:21,290
So the joke is that because he won't

123
00:04:21,290 --> 00:04:23,610
have a criminal record, they can deport him

124
00:04:23,610 --> 00:04:23,870
there.

125
00:04:24,010 --> 00:04:26,050
They can deport him there but if he

126
00:04:26,050 --> 00:04:27,490
pled guilty, they couldn't.

127
00:04:28,690 --> 00:04:31,170
This is a great catch-22.

128
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:33,570
We have been doing business with Uganda.

129
00:04:33,730 --> 00:04:35,670
We've been doing all kinds, including sending a

130
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:36,850
lot of C-130s.

131
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:39,250
I happen to know since it might be

132
00:04:39,250 --> 00:04:41,850
someone in my circle who is an international

133
00:04:41,850 --> 00:04:43,250
arms dealer and sends them.

134
00:04:45,050 --> 00:04:48,390
Yes, the international arms dealer here in Fredericksburg

135
00:04:49,270 --> 00:04:53,230
continues, so they're military.

136
00:04:53,870 --> 00:04:54,930
I mean, this is how it works.

137
00:04:54,990 --> 00:04:56,270
This is how arms dealing works.

138
00:04:57,250 --> 00:05:00,890
The US wants to sell or has all

139
00:05:00,890 --> 00:05:04,070
these C-130 transport planes and Uganda wants

140
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:04,630
to buy one.

141
00:05:05,030 --> 00:05:07,250
So there's an intermediary and it'll go through

142
00:05:07,250 --> 00:05:09,910
France and so they send it to France,

143
00:05:09,950 --> 00:05:11,950
which is a friend of ours, but they

144
00:05:11,950 --> 00:05:12,930
don't really send it to France.

145
00:05:13,010 --> 00:05:14,970
They just register it in France for an

146
00:05:14,970 --> 00:05:18,650
hour and then Uganda buys it through the

147
00:05:18,650 --> 00:05:21,790
French entity and then it can be shipped

148
00:05:21,790 --> 00:05:22,510
over legally.

149
00:05:23,030 --> 00:05:25,850
The great thing about it is that there's

150
00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:29,230
an endless demand for these C-130s and

151
00:05:29,230 --> 00:05:31,090
this is the truth as he has told

152
00:05:31,090 --> 00:05:33,890
me, that the pilots of these C-130s

153
00:05:33,890 --> 00:05:37,430
in Uganda keep crashing them because they learn

154
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:38,890
how to fly on YouTube.

155
00:05:39,470 --> 00:05:41,550
This YouTube videos, that's how they learn how

156
00:05:41,550 --> 00:05:42,150
to fly them.

157
00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:45,750
So it's a great bit.

158
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:47,570
What a great business.

159
00:05:47,850 --> 00:05:48,430
I know.

160
00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:50,870
Guys can't fly the planes, you got to

161
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:51,610
buy another one.

162
00:05:53,690 --> 00:05:55,490
The Ugandans don't seem to care.

163
00:05:55,610 --> 00:05:56,610
Oh, we need another one.

164
00:05:58,350 --> 00:06:00,130
So anyway, so now what is going to

165
00:06:00,130 --> 00:06:00,910
happen to this guy?

166
00:06:01,070 --> 00:06:03,330
Is he now finally going to go or

167
00:06:03,330 --> 00:06:08,630
I mean all the Canadian media is like

168
00:06:08,630 --> 00:06:12,410
there he is, he's embracing his child and

169
00:06:12,410 --> 00:06:13,670
it's so good to be home.

170
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:15,550
What happened to his wife?

171
00:06:16,450 --> 00:06:17,910
She was out and about.

172
00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:21,290
Didn't she have a complaint against him for

173
00:06:21,290 --> 00:06:23,490
beating her?

174
00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:25,690
Yeah, two complaints of beating her.

175
00:06:27,730 --> 00:06:29,230
But you know, if you're going to hang

176
00:06:29,230 --> 00:06:30,950
out with guys like that, you expect to

177
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:31,350
be beat.

178
00:06:31,890 --> 00:06:32,590
Yeah, I guess.

179
00:06:33,570 --> 00:06:35,030
But this is a farce.

180
00:06:35,030 --> 00:06:35,890
It's funny.

181
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:39,330
You know, it's totally funny, especially with all

182
00:06:39,330 --> 00:06:42,310
these people in Maryland, the governor and the

183
00:06:42,310 --> 00:06:44,970
lawyers and everybody and all the activists that

184
00:06:44,970 --> 00:06:46,530
want to save this guy because he was

185
00:06:46,530 --> 00:06:49,610
wrongly sent to El Salvador and now he's

186
00:06:49,610 --> 00:06:51,770
going to be wrongly I don't know how

187
00:06:51,770 --> 00:06:53,850
they come up with this, but sent to

188
00:06:53,850 --> 00:06:54,490
Uganda.

189
00:06:54,830 --> 00:06:57,330
The Uganda thing is a gem.

190
00:06:57,750 --> 00:06:57,850
Yeah.

191
00:06:58,930 --> 00:07:00,270
What's going to happen, he's going to end

192
00:07:00,270 --> 00:07:01,850
up pleading out and they're going to ship

193
00:07:01,850 --> 00:07:03,650
him off to Costa Rica back in the

194
00:07:03,650 --> 00:07:03,910
country.

195
00:07:04,210 --> 00:07:05,730
Well, Costa Rica is nice this time of

196
00:07:05,730 --> 00:07:05,910
year.

197
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:08,030
It's not that bad.

198
00:07:08,130 --> 00:07:09,790
It's pretty good most of the year.

199
00:07:10,770 --> 00:07:12,890
Alright, so I'd like to jump into the

200
00:07:12,890 --> 00:07:14,550
Bolton thing.

201
00:07:16,930 --> 00:07:19,470
Was that Thursday when they were raiding his

202
00:07:19,470 --> 00:07:19,670
home?

203
00:07:19,750 --> 00:07:20,630
Was that Friday morning?

204
00:07:20,750 --> 00:07:21,410
That was probably Friday.

205
00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:22,170
I think it was Friday.

206
00:07:22,870 --> 00:07:24,990
Yeah, so everyone's in a tizzy about this.

207
00:07:25,050 --> 00:07:27,490
We go to ABC with your buddy, Jonathan

208
00:07:27,490 --> 00:07:27,810
Karl.

209
00:07:28,510 --> 00:07:31,710
John Bolton arrived home Friday afternoon just moments

210
00:07:31,710 --> 00:07:34,930
after FBI agents carried boxes out of his

211
00:07:34,930 --> 00:07:35,350
house.

212
00:07:35,930 --> 00:07:38,590
Four FBI agents were still inside.

213
00:07:39,070 --> 00:07:40,230
What were they looking for?

214
00:07:40,430 --> 00:07:42,150
They had been in there for nearly an

215
00:07:42,150 --> 00:07:42,550
hour.

216
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:46,170
This was one of the interesting things about

217
00:07:46,170 --> 00:07:46,310
it.

218
00:07:46,430 --> 00:07:48,210
There's three reports.

219
00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:51,630
One that he was there the whole time,

220
00:07:52,530 --> 00:07:54,070
unlike Trump and Mar-a-Lago.

221
00:07:54,270 --> 00:07:55,350
I like to make that comparison.

222
00:07:55,710 --> 00:07:57,270
The second one was he wasn't there at

223
00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:58,350
all, never was.

224
00:07:58,350 --> 00:08:00,710
And the third one is this report which

225
00:08:00,710 --> 00:08:02,330
he was there half the time.

226
00:08:02,490 --> 00:08:04,650
Just one foot in, one foot out.

227
00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:06,970
Can anyone get it straight?

228
00:08:07,370 --> 00:08:08,310
Well, no.

229
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:10,930
They had been in there for nearly eight

230
00:08:10,930 --> 00:08:11,450
hours.

231
00:08:11,750 --> 00:08:14,510
Sources telling ABC News the search was related

232
00:08:14,510 --> 00:08:17,370
to allegations that Bolton is in possession of

233
00:08:17,370 --> 00:08:18,470
classified records.

234
00:08:18,870 --> 00:08:20,350
I'm not a fan of John Bolton.

235
00:08:20,810 --> 00:08:24,850
He's a real son of a lowlife.

236
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:26,090
Not a smart guy.

237
00:08:26,090 --> 00:08:29,270
But he could be a very unpatriotic guy.

238
00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:30,030
We're going to find out.

239
00:08:30,810 --> 00:08:33,570
Bolton's Maryland home and also his Washington, D

240
00:08:33,570 --> 00:08:36,909
.C. office were approved by two separate federal

241
00:08:36,909 --> 00:08:37,470
judges.

242
00:08:38,090 --> 00:08:41,110
Trump insisted he knew nothing about the search.

243
00:08:41,650 --> 00:08:44,010
I purposely don't want to really get involved

244
00:08:44,010 --> 00:08:44,310
in it.

245
00:08:44,370 --> 00:08:45,590
I'm not a fan of John Bolton.

246
00:08:45,770 --> 00:08:47,130
I thought he was a sleazebag, actually.

247
00:08:47,930 --> 00:08:49,710
I'll find out about it.

248
00:08:50,950 --> 00:08:53,890
But if you believe the news, which I

249
00:08:53,890 --> 00:08:56,750
do, I guess his house was raided today.

250
00:08:56,810 --> 00:08:59,270
But my house was raided also called Mar

251
00:08:59,270 --> 00:08:59,610
-a-Lago.

252
00:09:00,310 --> 00:09:03,510
Minutes after federal agents descended upon Bolton's home,

253
00:09:04,050 --> 00:09:07,110
FBI Director Kash Patel posted on social media,

254
00:09:07,530 --> 00:09:09,570
quote, no one is above the law.

255
00:09:09,890 --> 00:09:11,570
FBI agents on mission.

256
00:09:11,950 --> 00:09:13,710
But what exactly is that mission?

257
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,230
Enforcing the law or retribution?

258
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:17,770
The big R word.

259
00:09:17,930 --> 00:09:19,550
This is what everyone likes talking about.

260
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:20,390
Retribution.

261
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:21,530
That's right.

262
00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:23,750
The president is just so mad about the

263
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:24,810
raid on Mar-a-Lago.

264
00:09:25,870 --> 00:09:28,350
Remember there was another raid?

265
00:09:28,990 --> 00:09:30,770
Who was in someone's house and CNN had

266
00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:32,050
been called in advance?

267
00:09:32,730 --> 00:09:33,630
That's Stone.

268
00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:35,010
Oh, Roger Stone.

269
00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:36,450
Roger Stone's house.

270
00:09:36,790 --> 00:09:39,330
It's like the new version of elite swapping.

271
00:09:39,830 --> 00:09:40,770
Swatting, I'm sorry.

272
00:09:41,310 --> 00:09:42,090
Elite swatting.

273
00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:44,210
You know, people get swatted all the time,

274
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:45,990
but now it's like, hey, I think I'll

275
00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:47,530
have the FBI raid his house.

276
00:09:48,030 --> 00:09:48,670
Yeah, it's cool.

277
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:49,630
It's retribution.

278
00:09:49,630 --> 00:09:52,730
Right here on this show two weeks ago,

279
00:09:53,090 --> 00:09:55,970
John Bolton harshly criticized President Trump.

280
00:09:56,450 --> 00:09:58,370
He said Trump was presiding over a quote,

281
00:09:58,790 --> 00:10:00,330
retribution presidency.

282
00:10:00,970 --> 00:10:03,730
Twelve days later, the FBI showed up at

283
00:10:03,730 --> 00:10:05,250
his office and his home.

284
00:10:05,530 --> 00:10:06,750
This is it now.

285
00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:08,430
Retribution presidency.

286
00:10:08,850 --> 00:10:09,990
The new R word.

287
00:10:10,530 --> 00:10:13,030
This week's show starts right now.

288
00:10:13,370 --> 00:10:14,790
I'm not a fan of John Bolton.

289
00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:16,250
I thought he was a sleazebag actually.

290
00:10:16,770 --> 00:10:20,310
The FBI targets President Trump's former national security

291
00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:20,830
advisor.

292
00:10:21,010 --> 00:10:22,550
Are you worried that they're going to come

293
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:23,530
after you in some way?

294
00:10:23,630 --> 00:10:25,510
I think it is a retribution presidency.

295
00:10:26,210 --> 00:10:27,130
Good morning.

296
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:28,490
Welcome to this week.

297
00:10:29,050 --> 00:10:30,590
In a moment we'll get to the stunning

298
00:10:30,590 --> 00:10:33,670
developments coming into the weekend with FBI agents

299
00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:36,510
swarming around the home and office of former

300
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:38,830
Trump national security advisor John Bolton.

301
00:10:39,330 --> 00:10:41,030
But first, the context.

302
00:10:41,470 --> 00:10:43,210
This didn't happen in a vacuum.

303
00:10:43,850 --> 00:10:46,130
John Bolton is on a long list of

304
00:10:46,130 --> 00:10:48,850
Trump critics who are now facing the wrath

305
00:10:48,850 --> 00:10:51,290
of President Trump and his Justice Department.

306
00:10:51,870 --> 00:10:54,590
Trump himself has suggested that dozens of his

307
00:10:54,590 --> 00:10:57,370
enemies I just love how they have no

308
00:10:57,370 --> 00:10:58,010
information.

309
00:10:58,910 --> 00:11:00,470
And it may very well be retribution.

310
00:11:00,650 --> 00:11:01,850
I'm sure there's a part of that.

311
00:11:02,270 --> 00:11:03,590
But I just love how they just make

312
00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:04,490
it up as they go along.

313
00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:05,930
Well, this is clearly retribution.

314
00:11:06,110 --> 00:11:06,770
This is obvious.

315
00:11:07,210 --> 00:11:10,270
Trump himself has suggested that dozens of his

316
00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:13,430
enemies, real and perceived, belong in prison.

317
00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:16,250
He has said that about former Presidents Obama

318
00:11:16,250 --> 00:11:17,090
and Biden.

319
00:11:17,490 --> 00:11:20,310
About former FBI Director James Comey and former

320
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:22,170
Special Counsel Jack Smith.

321
00:11:22,490 --> 00:11:24,830
All of whom have been threatened with criminal

322
00:11:24,830 --> 00:11:25,570
prosecution.

323
00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:29,450
So have former Trump administration officials Miles Taylor

324
00:11:29,450 --> 00:11:30,930
and Chris Krebs.

325
00:11:31,290 --> 00:11:34,290
New York Attorney General Letitia James and Senator

326
00:11:34,290 --> 00:11:35,210
Adam Schiff.

327
00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:37,890
Those last two have been targeted by Ed

328
00:11:37,890 --> 00:11:38,310
Martin.

329
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:40,590
He's the head of what the Trump Justice

330
00:11:40,590 --> 00:11:43,950
Department calls the Weaponization Working Group.

331
00:11:44,350 --> 00:11:47,090
Last week Martin stood outside of Tish James'

332
00:11:47,250 --> 00:11:50,050
home in Brooklyn, New York and posed for

333
00:11:50,050 --> 00:11:52,290
pictures dressed in a trench coat.

334
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:54,490
Yes, very sinister.

335
00:11:56,930 --> 00:11:59,110
What is going on with our country?

336
00:12:00,470 --> 00:12:02,310
What's going on with the media?

337
00:12:02,670 --> 00:12:03,210
Well, yes.

338
00:12:03,490 --> 00:12:04,630
That's a fair point.

339
00:12:04,810 --> 00:12:05,690
That's exactly it.

340
00:12:07,490 --> 00:12:10,130
The only guy who actually had something kind

341
00:12:10,130 --> 00:12:13,710
of, something to say with some content, which

342
00:12:13,710 --> 00:12:15,590
was quite surprising, but I think he's probably

343
00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:17,990
right, was Michael Cohen, of all people.

344
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:22,950
Former Trump lawyer, and he was on MSNOW.

345
00:12:23,510 --> 00:12:27,410
What we have here is the Trump team,

346
00:12:27,510 --> 00:12:31,070
the DOJ going through, for example, the book,

347
00:12:31,390 --> 00:12:33,670
The Room Where It All Happened, which I

348
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:36,410
actually had read while I was in solitary

349
00:12:36,410 --> 00:12:37,190
confinement.

350
00:12:37,950 --> 00:12:41,170
You know, when you're in solitary confinement, I'm

351
00:12:41,170 --> 00:12:42,670
pretty sure you don't get a book to

352
00:12:42,670 --> 00:12:42,910
read.

353
00:12:44,170 --> 00:12:47,150
Because that solitary confinement is the SHU, Special

354
00:12:47,150 --> 00:12:47,830
Housing Unit.

355
00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:49,210
I think the whole point is you don't

356
00:12:49,210 --> 00:12:50,250
get a book to read, or am I

357
00:12:50,250 --> 00:12:50,510
wrong?

358
00:12:51,490 --> 00:12:52,310
I have no idea.

359
00:12:52,550 --> 00:12:54,150
Well, according to my sources.

360
00:12:54,170 --> 00:12:55,430
But I would think that you were right.

361
00:12:55,530 --> 00:12:55,750
Yeah.

362
00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:59,490
Because solitary confinement is not the book reading

363
00:12:59,490 --> 00:12:59,590
club.

364
00:12:59,590 --> 00:13:01,150
No, it's supposed to make you crazy, not

365
00:13:01,150 --> 00:13:02,050
the book reading club.

366
00:13:02,210 --> 00:13:04,310
Which I actually had read while I was

367
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:06,030
in solitary confinement.

368
00:13:06,650 --> 00:13:10,390
And they've noticed that there are many aspects

369
00:13:10,390 --> 00:13:13,850
of this book that appear to be of

370
00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:15,750
national security importance.

371
00:13:16,130 --> 00:13:19,170
And that's what I believe that they predicated

372
00:13:19,170 --> 00:13:20,390
this raid upon.

373
00:13:20,810 --> 00:13:24,230
I also believe that there's no doubt that

374
00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:25,650
he will be indicted.

375
00:13:25,810 --> 00:13:28,790
They will find documents once they go through,

376
00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:30,390
for example, his computer.

377
00:13:30,610 --> 00:13:31,710
They'll find the manuscript.

378
00:13:32,130 --> 00:13:35,170
They'll see emails going back and forth between

379
00:13:35,170 --> 00:13:38,230
John Bolton, his people, as well as maybe

380
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:43,670
the attorney that reviewed it for legal ease

381
00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:46,150
and for questions.

382
00:13:46,770 --> 00:13:49,270
I believe that he needs to lawyer up.

383
00:13:49,650 --> 00:13:53,210
And very much like what happened to, years

384
00:13:53,210 --> 00:13:54,630
ago, Reality Winner.

385
00:13:54,810 --> 00:13:56,970
That's a name that nobody talks about anymore.

386
00:13:57,470 --> 00:14:01,990
One document that was about Russian election interference,

387
00:14:02,510 --> 00:14:04,950
ultimately had her incarcerated.

388
00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:06,570
She was a whistleblower.

389
00:14:06,770 --> 00:14:08,690
Had her incarcerated for years.

390
00:14:08,870 --> 00:14:11,610
And I predict that John Bolton is going

391
00:14:11,610 --> 00:14:13,710
to suffer the same consequence.

392
00:14:14,910 --> 00:14:15,410
Oh, man.

393
00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:16,410
That would be so funny.

394
00:14:17,430 --> 00:14:19,090
Well, of course, once you get into someone's

395
00:14:19,090 --> 00:14:21,190
computer, especially someone like Bolton, you're going to

396
00:14:21,190 --> 00:14:22,210
find all kinds of stuff.

397
00:14:22,370 --> 00:14:24,750
The military contacts I have all say...

398
00:14:24,750 --> 00:14:29,230
He kept handling classified documents.

399
00:14:29,230 --> 00:14:30,110
But the question is, what?

400
00:14:30,590 --> 00:14:32,670
I did a little research, too.

401
00:14:34,030 --> 00:14:34,910
Hold on.

402
00:14:35,050 --> 00:14:36,670
My research is I called somebody.

403
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:38,650
I texted, hey, you got any...

404
00:14:39,210 --> 00:14:40,230
That was my research.

405
00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:45,530
A couple of people emphasized that Bolton was

406
00:14:45,530 --> 00:14:50,810
a stick-up-his-ass type character who

407
00:14:50,810 --> 00:14:53,570
would never even think of having any sort

408
00:14:53,570 --> 00:14:56,070
of secret documents around the house that they'd

409
00:14:56,070 --> 00:14:56,910
be able to collect.

410
00:14:57,550 --> 00:14:58,810
Oh, okay.

411
00:14:59,450 --> 00:15:02,510
I was also told that he was...

412
00:15:02,510 --> 00:15:03,710
Nobody likes him.

413
00:15:04,630 --> 00:15:06,930
And he was...

414
00:15:06,930 --> 00:15:09,630
When he was the head of the National

415
00:15:10,930 --> 00:15:15,510
Security Advisor to Trump, Trump never listened to

416
00:15:15,510 --> 00:15:15,730
him.

417
00:15:15,810 --> 00:15:16,190
Ever.

418
00:15:16,810 --> 00:15:18,150
Yeah, but Trump did hire him.

419
00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:20,750
Yeah, but why?

420
00:15:21,250 --> 00:15:22,550
Yeah, I don't know.

421
00:15:23,170 --> 00:15:24,710
I mean, Trump hired a whole bunch of

422
00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:26,890
screwballs during that first term because he was

423
00:15:26,890 --> 00:15:27,570
advised to.

424
00:15:29,170 --> 00:15:30,830
So there's that element.

425
00:15:31,230 --> 00:15:33,530
And then you start looking at what Bongino

426
00:15:33,530 --> 00:15:33,810
wrote.

427
00:15:33,930 --> 00:15:37,090
Bongino also posted something which indicated that this

428
00:15:37,090 --> 00:15:39,590
was not about top-secret documents or anything

429
00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:41,470
that might be listed in the book.

430
00:15:41,910 --> 00:15:45,170
There's some sense that he was...

431
00:15:45,170 --> 00:15:48,310
He may have committed some sort of treasonous

432
00:15:48,310 --> 00:15:49,950
act or even...

433
00:15:49,950 --> 00:15:50,370
Yeah.

434
00:15:50,890 --> 00:15:51,030
Yeah.

435
00:15:53,230 --> 00:15:55,110
It just keeps getting funnier.

436
00:15:56,110 --> 00:15:58,330
And so this...

437
00:15:58,690 --> 00:16:01,590
Because you know and I know, because we

438
00:16:01,590 --> 00:16:05,210
generally know people not as extreme as this

439
00:16:05,210 --> 00:16:09,810
character, but generally speaking people with computers, they

440
00:16:09,810 --> 00:16:12,110
don't know how things are backed up.

441
00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:15,290
This even took place during the early era

442
00:16:15,290 --> 00:16:19,250
with Reagan when they were doing the Iran

443
00:16:19,250 --> 00:16:21,410
-Contra stuff and all these emails that were

444
00:16:21,410 --> 00:16:23,690
going back and forth and then deleted were

445
00:16:23,690 --> 00:16:24,550
backed up.

446
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:26,090
They were available.

447
00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:30,630
a guy like this is not a computer

448
00:16:30,630 --> 00:16:30,970
guy.

449
00:16:31,270 --> 00:16:34,030
He's going to leave stuff on his machine.

450
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:36,290
And I've always said that the reason for

451
00:16:36,290 --> 00:16:38,470
the terabyte drive, once that was invented, was

452
00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:40,970
just so that way it could accumulate evidence

453
00:16:40,970 --> 00:16:41,710
against you.

454
00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:43,330
Because you'd never clean it up.

455
00:16:43,330 --> 00:16:45,490
No, the terabyte drive is to store the

456
00:16:45,490 --> 00:16:46,330
Bitcoin blockchain.

457
00:16:46,330 --> 00:16:48,070
We all know that's the reason for it.

458
00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:51,470
And so the point is that this guy

459
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,470
may be in big trouble.

460
00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:56,330
Well, I wonder what they're saying down at

461
00:16:56,330 --> 00:16:56,790
the club.

462
00:16:59,030 --> 00:16:59,590
I don't know.

463
00:16:59,830 --> 00:17:01,590
You know, the fart sniffing club in New

464
00:17:01,590 --> 00:17:01,870
York.

465
00:17:03,050 --> 00:17:06,430
I'm still trying to get confirmation on that.

466
00:17:06,430 --> 00:17:07,569
You never will.

467
00:17:10,010 --> 00:17:13,490
Just the M5M just makes me laugh these

468
00:17:13,490 --> 00:17:13,829
days.

469
00:17:14,530 --> 00:17:15,950
You know, I'll walk by and I'm like,

470
00:17:15,950 --> 00:17:17,530
OK, I'll probably get that story.

471
00:17:17,790 --> 00:17:19,030
But it's all so dumb.

472
00:17:19,130 --> 00:17:21,250
It's just on repeat over and over again.

473
00:17:21,589 --> 00:17:24,790
And MSNOW, I'm just going to get used

474
00:17:24,790 --> 00:17:25,609
to saying it.

475
00:17:25,730 --> 00:17:27,329
Yeah, you might as well.

476
00:17:27,730 --> 00:17:28,210
MSNOW.

477
00:17:28,510 --> 00:17:29,810
Unless they back off.

478
00:17:29,870 --> 00:17:30,770
Or we say Ms. Now.

479
00:17:30,970 --> 00:17:31,550
Ms. Now.

480
00:17:31,730 --> 00:17:32,250
Ms. Now.

481
00:17:32,750 --> 00:17:38,830
They got that guy who's the president of

482
00:17:38,830 --> 00:17:41,930
the Washington Correspondents Association.

483
00:17:42,610 --> 00:17:44,350
He does the morning show on Sundays.

484
00:17:44,530 --> 00:17:47,570
All he can do is rant and rave.

485
00:17:52,290 --> 00:17:53,490
It's contentless.

486
00:17:53,710 --> 00:17:54,210
That's what it is.

487
00:17:54,570 --> 00:17:55,170
Contentless.

488
00:17:57,420 --> 00:17:57,540
Yeah.

489
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,040
Nothing has content.

490
00:18:00,740 --> 00:18:02,620
It's because they got all these hours to

491
00:18:02,620 --> 00:18:02,860
fill.

492
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:03,820
Yeah.

493
00:18:04,380 --> 00:18:09,260
Even when CNN used to have that one

494
00:18:09,260 --> 00:18:12,240
station which became HLN and it was just

495
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,100
headline news.

496
00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:15,440
And they had that one woman who kept

497
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,560
reading the news all day.

498
00:18:16,780 --> 00:18:19,580
It was pretty much an hour of news

499
00:18:19,580 --> 00:18:22,680
repeated with maybe some updates every hour.

500
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,980
There's only an hour's worth of content a

501
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:26,320
day.

502
00:18:26,620 --> 00:18:28,100
That they have to fill 24 hours with

503
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:29,900
so they jack in some people to talk

504
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:30,840
about it endlessly.

505
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,560
So they've created these 24 hour networks that

506
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:37,420
there's nothing to talk about for 24 hours

507
00:18:37,420 --> 00:18:38,540
every single day.

508
00:18:38,660 --> 00:18:40,540
But there's plenty to clip and it's all

509
00:18:40,540 --> 00:18:41,540
over social media.

510
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:42,520
Oh, outrage.

511
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,800
Look at this outrage.

512
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,700
Although I see that kind of, it is

513
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:49,440
ever since Rachel Maddow cut back her hours

514
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:54,240
and Jen Psaki went to pretty much non

515
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:54,660
-time.

516
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,080
I don't even know when she's on anymore.

517
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,540
There's no gaffs.

518
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,580
The only thing, and gosh I really wish

519
00:19:00,580 --> 00:19:01,600
I could have gotten original.

520
00:19:02,020 --> 00:19:04,920
Did you see the tweet going around, the

521
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:10,260
post on X, of the AP Gwen, I

522
00:19:10,260 --> 00:19:11,740
want to say it was Gwen Dyer, I

523
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:12,480
think her name is.

524
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,540
Yeah, she was trying to read a simple

525
00:19:14,540 --> 00:19:15,840
copy and she couldn't do it.

526
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,400
This was posted by Tim Pool.

527
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,020
Yeah, and I want that original so bad

528
00:19:21,020 --> 00:19:22,340
because that would be fun to, because you

529
00:19:22,340 --> 00:19:23,300
can't really play it.

530
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:25,020
Yeah, instead of having somebody laughing over it

531
00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:26,260
while they're playing it.

532
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:26,960
Yeah, I agree.

533
00:19:27,140 --> 00:19:28,620
I looked for it, I went on the

534
00:19:28,620 --> 00:19:30,280
podcast feeds because it looked like it came

535
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,280
from a podcast feed.

536
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,600
I'm sure they removed it.

537
00:19:33,180 --> 00:19:36,980
But it was interesting because I think even

538
00:19:36,980 --> 00:19:38,320
we forget sometimes.

539
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,320
Explain what it is to people that didn't

540
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:40,760
get a shot at it.

541
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,800
So it was an hourly report from Associated

542
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,560
Press and she's reading the copy and these

543
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,860
news reports are very staccato explaining exactly how

544
00:19:51,860 --> 00:19:54,240
it goes and then President Trump, without evidence,

545
00:19:54,460 --> 00:19:55,340
this kind of stuff.

546
00:19:56,060 --> 00:19:58,760
But she couldn't get one sentence straight and

547
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,980
she kept doing what we call pick-ups.

548
00:20:03,180 --> 00:20:04,000
Let me see if I can give an

549
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:04,500
example.

550
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,900
Let me just grab a rando news headline.

551
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,080
And so she would be, let's see, I'm

552
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,260
just going to grab something.

553
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:16,460
Here we go.

554
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:20,120
Pritzker said in a statement, the state of

555
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:24,920
Illinois at this time has received no request

556
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,020
or outreach from the federal government.

557
00:20:32,020 --> 00:20:33,520
So she was doing all those pick-ups.

558
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,220
She could not get through a sentence without

559
00:20:37,220 --> 00:20:38,100
having to pick it up.

560
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,420
And I can just see the sound engineer

561
00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:43,140
rolling his eye, his or her eyes, like,

562
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,500
oh, I've got to edit all this stuff

563
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:44,960
together.

564
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,160
It's going to be a nightmare.

565
00:20:46,260 --> 00:20:47,260
You've got to make it sound like she

566
00:20:47,260 --> 00:20:48,140
can actually talk.

567
00:20:48,740 --> 00:20:50,000
But it was just fun.

568
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:51,740
I mean, I'm sure they're not making the

569
00:20:51,740 --> 00:20:54,680
hundreds of thousands of dollars that some of

570
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,320
the NPR morning show people are, but I'm

571
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,780
sure she's doing just fine.

572
00:20:59,780 --> 00:21:02,600
And it's like, oh, man, she really is

573
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,640
just only a voice.

574
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,660
That person could be replaced by AI.

575
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,560
That would actually be an improvement.

576
00:21:07,820 --> 00:21:09,100
It would save money.

577
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:09,660
Yeah.

578
00:21:11,260 --> 00:21:14,580
We got a lot of boots on the

579
00:21:14,580 --> 00:21:16,380
ground about apprenticeships.

580
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:19,880
I don't know if you received any, but

581
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,060
we were talking about apprenticeships.

582
00:21:22,580 --> 00:21:27,040
This was following on the news that plumbers

583
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,120
now can make $150,000 a year.

584
00:21:31,820 --> 00:21:33,980
And I just wanted to share a couple

585
00:21:33,980 --> 00:21:35,380
of these because this is very interesting.

586
00:21:35,420 --> 00:21:35,820
I wish you would.

587
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:39,180
Gents, I was one of the youngsters who

588
00:21:39,180 --> 00:21:41,160
took up a lot of Gen Zers, by

589
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,420
the way, in their late 20s.

590
00:21:42,740 --> 00:21:44,080
I was one of the youngsters who took

591
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,400
up the call for skilled tradesmen.

592
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,520
I can confirm that after finishing an electrical

593
00:21:47,980 --> 00:21:51,560
apprenticeship, so there are apprenticeships, the jobs are

594
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,940
plentiful and everywhere.

595
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,000
And as a journeyman wireman now training apprentices,

596
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,640
there's a lot of young cats joining the

597
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,280
trade straight out of high school.

598
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:01,780
Young cats.

599
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,500
How is this new?

600
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,600
But it is.

601
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,560
But we were pretty convinced that there were

602
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:08,880
no more apprenticeships.

603
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,900
That's the astounding thing.

604
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,300
I'm still not convinced it's that prevalent.

605
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:18,500
Well, in the morning, this is from Tommy

606
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:19,120
Breakfluid.

607
00:22:19,740 --> 00:22:21,460
You discussed apprenticeships on the last show.

608
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,860
I wanted to tell you about my experience

609
00:22:22,860 --> 00:22:23,700
with apprenticeships.

610
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:27,160
I graduated from my CNC machining apprenticeship about

611
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:27,860
two years ago.

612
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,040
I can't speak for other states, but in

613
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,040
Michigan, they're really starting to become more popular.

614
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,220
Apprenticeships are regulated by the Department of Labor

615
00:22:35,220 --> 00:22:36,980
and they require you to work a total

616
00:22:36,980 --> 00:22:38,940
of 8,000 hours, which is about four

617
00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:41,540
years, and take classes at trade school or

618
00:22:41,540 --> 00:22:41,980
college.

619
00:22:42,460 --> 00:22:44,080
In all the classes I took, about 90

620
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,560
% of the class were also apprentices from

621
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:47,280
other shops.

622
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,600
Lately in my shop, we've been getting a

623
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,860
ton of new apprentices straight from high school.

624
00:22:52,540 --> 00:22:54,060
And then he goes through this, quite a

625
00:22:54,060 --> 00:22:57,460
whole thing about how the trade schools were

626
00:22:57,460 --> 00:23:00,420
really good, but everybody he said, the trade

627
00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:01,560
school I went to in high school was

628
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:01,880
fine.

629
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,000
They taught the basics, but the college classes

630
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,100
I took were terrible.

631
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:06,660
I learned everything.

632
00:23:06,860 --> 00:23:08,660
Most of the classes were teaching because I

633
00:23:08,660 --> 00:23:09,880
did it every day.

634
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,500
The machining teacher didn't even have that much

635
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:14,420
experience or even machining.

636
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,220
He was only a couple years older than

637
00:23:16,220 --> 00:23:16,460
me.

638
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,080
My shop one time hired one with a

639
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,860
degree in machining from the same school.

640
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,100
He knew absolutely nothing about machining.

641
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,540
So not only are they turning out people

642
00:23:27,540 --> 00:23:30,460
with worthless degrees, but when they do actual

643
00:23:30,460 --> 00:23:33,260
apprenticeships, they don't teach anything.

644
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,320
And then here's Alabama for Plumbers since we

645
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:38,260
were talking about it.

646
00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:40,800
Listening to today's show, I want to inform

647
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,520
you all of the school we've created in

648
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,960
our county, Baldwin County in Alabama, that teaches

649
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,740
kids, or whoever, the trades in replacement of

650
00:23:49,740 --> 00:23:50,720
traditional college.

651
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,540
It bypasses apprenticeships.

652
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,980
BaldwinPrep.com And then this is my favorite

653
00:23:56,980 --> 00:23:59,820
from the anonymous controller.

654
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:04,520
I'd like to bring the NA family a

655
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,440
notice about air traffic control job availability.

656
00:24:08,540 --> 00:24:13,240
There's currently an open off-the-street hiring

657
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,820
for air traffic controllers.

658
00:24:15,580 --> 00:24:18,140
Now before I read what he says, let's

659
00:24:18,140 --> 00:24:20,600
listen to the report from the M5N.

660
00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:24,040
The Federal Aviation Administration is working to fill

661
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,380
more than 3,000 air traffic controller jobs

662
00:24:27,380 --> 00:24:29,680
to end a decades long shortage.

663
00:24:30,180 --> 00:24:32,440
Now to help, the FAA has expanded its

664
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,360
on-site training by nearly 30%, but the

665
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:38,680
expectations and pressure are high, as reporter Pete

666
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,000
Mantine found out when he toured the training

667
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,660
academy in Oklahoma City.

668
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,740
This is a rare inside look at the

669
00:24:47,740 --> 00:24:50,220
epicenter of ending a chronic shortage of air

670
00:24:50,220 --> 00:24:53,640
traffic controllers that's burning out workers and delaying

671
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,820
flights nationwide.

672
00:24:57,420 --> 00:25:01,460
Here at the Federal Aviation Administration's Controller Academy

673
00:25:01,460 --> 00:25:04,760
in Oklahoma City, students spend months in classrooms

674
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,480
and simulators before moving to on-the-job

675
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,340
training at towers and radar facilities that are

676
00:25:10,340 --> 00:25:11,860
struggling to retain talent.

677
00:25:11,860 --> 00:25:14,920
How bad is the shortage of air traffic

678
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,260
controllers in the U.S. right now?

679
00:25:16,420 --> 00:25:18,160
It's at a full-blown staffing crisis.

680
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:20,740
The latest estimates say the FAA is short

681
00:25:20,740 --> 00:25:23,160
3,000 air traffic controllers.

682
00:25:23,660 --> 00:25:26,160
The newest moves by the Trump Administration include

683
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,720
slashing the time candidates wait to be accepted

684
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,360
here and giving them pay bonuses when they

685
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:32,960
reach key training milestones.

686
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,500
We're thinking creatively on how we can supercharge

687
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:37,540
air traffic control.

688
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,740
Changes are working with the FAA just announcing

689
00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:43,020
enrollment here is now the highest it has

690
00:25:43,020 --> 00:25:43,700
ever been.

691
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,820
The FAA says it rejects 90% of

692
00:25:46,820 --> 00:25:49,440
applicants and of the students who do get

693
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,660
in 35% wash out.

694
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,360
I don't know if this news report doesn't

695
00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:56,640
want anyone to apply but here's our anonymous

696
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,980
controller and he or she says the requirements

697
00:26:00,980 --> 00:26:04,040
are pretty basic ages between 18 and 31

698
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,460
U.S. citizen, job history of three plus

699
00:26:06,460 --> 00:26:09,360
consecutive years or any higher education degree, clean

700
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:12,580
criminal record, English speaking although I can tell

701
00:26:12,580 --> 00:26:14,220
you stories where that has been ignored.

702
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,280
For those interested in making a career off

703
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,800
of not letting dots crash into each other

704
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,500
on a video game screen, making good money,

705
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,580
full government pension, retirement, full health care benefits

706
00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:26,200
should apply.

707
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,300
The process is enduring as nothing moves fast

708
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:31,580
in the government regardless of what Duffy, that's

709
00:26:31,580 --> 00:26:33,600
our FAA Administrator, claims.

710
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:36,140
Go to usajobs.gov, create a profile, build

711
00:26:36,140 --> 00:26:38,820
your resume or on the website and apply

712
00:26:38,820 --> 00:26:40,260
to air traffic control posting.

713
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,540
Air traffic controllers are still in desperate need

714
00:26:42,540 --> 00:26:44,860
with the Biden administration's action in conjunction with

715
00:26:44,860 --> 00:26:47,300
the worthless pathetic union during COVID.

716
00:26:48,420 --> 00:26:50,120
P.S. this is not intended to take

717
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:52,060
away business from Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs

718
00:26:52,060 --> 00:26:52,920
and writer of resumes.

719
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,320
We appreciate that.

720
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,500
So there's a real gig and I bet

721
00:26:58,500 --> 00:26:59,180
you it's fun.

722
00:27:01,310 --> 00:27:03,150
It looks fun to me but I mean

723
00:27:03,150 --> 00:27:05,750
again, if this podcasting thing doesn't work out,

724
00:27:05,830 --> 00:27:06,190
I'm in.

725
00:27:06,530 --> 00:27:08,550
You should go to become an air traffic

726
00:27:08,550 --> 00:27:09,050
controller.

727
00:27:11,610 --> 00:27:13,050
I'd be doing a podcast.

728
00:27:15,450 --> 00:27:17,010
November 277, Bravo 5.

729
00:27:17,170 --> 00:27:18,130
How you doing everybody?

730
00:27:18,330 --> 00:27:19,090
Good to see you.

731
00:27:19,150 --> 00:27:20,770
Don't crash into that dot on my screen,

732
00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:21,190
please.

733
00:27:22,490 --> 00:27:23,070
We could do it.

734
00:27:23,130 --> 00:27:24,070
Yeah, just like that.

735
00:27:24,210 --> 00:27:24,450
Yeah.

736
00:27:25,210 --> 00:27:27,190
So I'm happy to hear that.

737
00:27:27,630 --> 00:27:29,990
This gives me hope, this Gen Z, something

738
00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:32,050
happened, Gen Z flipped around, they started to

739
00:27:32,050 --> 00:27:32,730
get their act together.

740
00:27:32,730 --> 00:27:34,590
Gen Z is being underrated.

741
00:27:34,710 --> 00:27:37,290
There's a bunch of articles trying to explain

742
00:27:37,290 --> 00:27:38,290
this and that with Gen Z.

743
00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:40,190
A lot of it's bullcrap.

744
00:27:40,990 --> 00:27:42,390
But I saw at the table the other

745
00:27:42,390 --> 00:27:44,750
day JC pointed out something.

746
00:27:44,890 --> 00:27:48,150
He says that according to the stats that

747
00:27:48,150 --> 00:27:51,770
the Gen Z men are all, they're coming

748
00:27:51,770 --> 00:27:52,730
up as Republicans.

749
00:27:53,970 --> 00:27:57,070
But the Gen Z women weren't but now

750
00:27:57,070 --> 00:27:57,770
they are.

751
00:27:58,310 --> 00:28:00,310
Because they're like, might as well get with

752
00:28:00,310 --> 00:28:01,110
the program here.

753
00:28:01,550 --> 00:28:03,770
He says that the curve has just gone,

754
00:28:03,970 --> 00:28:06,950
all of a sudden taken a nosedive for

755
00:28:06,950 --> 00:28:09,230
the women and they're all becoming Republicans too.

756
00:28:09,290 --> 00:28:12,030
The whole entire Gen Z is going to

757
00:28:12,030 --> 00:28:14,230
be a Republican voting bloc.

758
00:28:14,650 --> 00:28:16,970
So what can we do to thwart that?

759
00:28:17,850 --> 00:28:19,150
The Democrats are thinking.

760
00:28:19,850 --> 00:28:21,910
I don't know what, they don't know it's

761
00:28:21,910 --> 00:28:25,270
happening and the Democrats are still under the

762
00:28:25,270 --> 00:28:27,590
assumption that if you're young You gotta be

763
00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:28,010
trans.

764
00:28:29,030 --> 00:28:30,170
Well besides that.

765
00:28:31,110 --> 00:28:32,650
They're thinking if you're young you're going to

766
00:28:32,650 --> 00:28:37,310
vote Democrat because it's an idealistic, the idealism

767
00:28:37,310 --> 00:28:42,130
of the Democrats is more appealing than the

768
00:28:42,130 --> 00:28:44,070
conservativism of the Republicans.

769
00:28:45,270 --> 00:28:47,850
And so the youth will always vote Democrat.

770
00:28:47,970 --> 00:28:50,510
So they don't think this is anything that's

771
00:28:50,510 --> 00:28:51,670
worth worrying about.

772
00:28:52,330 --> 00:28:53,810
Well I'm seeing it.

773
00:28:53,850 --> 00:28:55,270
I mean I'm seeing it around here in

774
00:28:55,270 --> 00:28:55,930
Fredericksburg.

775
00:28:56,790 --> 00:29:00,790
And I'm talking 25, 26 year olds and

776
00:29:00,790 --> 00:29:03,410
they're even giving up social media.

777
00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:05,110
The horrors.

778
00:29:05,530 --> 00:29:07,150
Well that would be a good idea.

779
00:29:07,570 --> 00:29:09,510
Well it would be a fantastic start.

780
00:29:09,590 --> 00:29:11,730
I just wonder is this an organic change?

781
00:29:11,850 --> 00:29:13,410
Is this something that just happens as a

782
00:29:13,410 --> 00:29:13,710
cycle?

783
00:29:14,030 --> 00:29:16,630
You and I have witnessed four or five

784
00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:18,050
generational cycles.

785
00:29:18,970 --> 00:29:20,770
As far as I'm concerned everything's a cycle

786
00:29:20,770 --> 00:29:22,390
so it's probably some sort of cycle.

787
00:29:23,090 --> 00:29:24,710
It's a new one though.

788
00:29:24,810 --> 00:29:28,310
I don't know what where it fits into

789
00:29:28,310 --> 00:29:29,030
the scheme of things.

790
00:29:29,030 --> 00:29:30,350
It's just got to be backlash.

791
00:29:30,570 --> 00:29:34,190
Backlash against looking at their Millennials and going

792
00:29:34,190 --> 00:29:35,790
that kind of sucks.

793
00:29:37,250 --> 00:29:39,430
Well there's definitely an element of that because

794
00:29:39,430 --> 00:29:41,870
they do not get along with the Millennials.

795
00:29:43,290 --> 00:29:43,570
Yes.

796
00:29:44,030 --> 00:29:46,550
It makes me kind of happy.

797
00:29:46,810 --> 00:29:48,250
I like it.

798
00:29:48,330 --> 00:29:49,850
I feel good about it.

799
00:29:51,070 --> 00:29:53,990
And also as I think you have a

800
00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:58,110
clip as well as was obvious to us

801
00:29:58,110 --> 00:30:00,890
we've got a crime bill coming and President

802
00:30:00,890 --> 00:30:03,690
Trump is reacting to the many calls I

803
00:30:03,690 --> 00:30:06,170
guess on social media, I've seen them, to

804
00:30:06,170 --> 00:30:09,330
clean up other cities besides Washington D.C.

805
00:30:09,810 --> 00:30:10,870
Chicago's on deck.

806
00:30:10,990 --> 00:30:13,230
President Trump says the Windy City could be

807
00:30:13,230 --> 00:30:15,610
next as part of his federal crime crackdown.

808
00:30:15,790 --> 00:30:18,130
His comments coming the same day the Pentagon

809
00:30:18,130 --> 00:30:21,010
started ordering National Guard troops in Washington D

810
00:30:21,010 --> 00:30:22,570
.C. to carry firearms.

811
00:30:22,770 --> 00:30:26,690
People in Chicago Mr. Vice President are screaming

812
00:30:26,690 --> 00:30:27,650
for us to come.

813
00:30:27,770 --> 00:30:30,030
The President claims crime in Chicago is out

814
00:30:30,030 --> 00:30:30,470
of control.

815
00:30:30,550 --> 00:30:32,670
Now when he says Mr. Vice President does

816
00:30:32,670 --> 00:30:34,770
that mean J.D. Vance told him or

817
00:30:34,770 --> 00:30:36,590
is he looking to just have someone in

818
00:30:36,590 --> 00:30:38,730
the room to back him up or is

819
00:30:38,730 --> 00:30:42,070
Vance the one who's on X looking at

820
00:30:42,070 --> 00:30:43,110
this stuff because I've seen it.

821
00:30:43,730 --> 00:30:44,470
What do you think that is?

822
00:30:45,090 --> 00:30:47,250
Vance in this situation I think it was

823
00:30:47,250 --> 00:30:47,910
just a prop.

824
00:30:49,190 --> 00:30:50,650
Only in this situation?

825
00:30:51,690 --> 00:30:53,410
He's a prop in a lot of situations

826
00:30:53,410 --> 00:30:54,290
but this is one of them.

827
00:30:54,290 --> 00:30:55,450
This is one of them, yes.

828
00:30:55,510 --> 00:30:57,810
Washington D.C. to carry firearms.

829
00:30:57,990 --> 00:31:01,930
People in Chicago, Mr. Vice President are screaming

830
00:31:01,930 --> 00:31:02,910
for us to come.

831
00:31:02,970 --> 00:31:05,270
The President claims crime in Chicago is out

832
00:31:05,270 --> 00:31:07,810
of control but city data shows violent crime

833
00:31:07,810 --> 00:31:11,310
trending down including homicides dropping more than 30%.

834
00:31:11,310 --> 00:31:13,390
There's that 30% number again.

835
00:31:13,510 --> 00:31:14,230
Isn't that interesting?

836
00:31:15,330 --> 00:31:17,990
It's like the Democrats who run these cities

837
00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:20,810
just respond in the same way and of

838
00:31:20,810 --> 00:31:21,690
course no numbers.

839
00:31:21,830 --> 00:31:22,730
30% of what?

840
00:31:23,270 --> 00:31:24,630
30% of what?

841
00:31:24,770 --> 00:31:26,670
I mean I listen to Darren O'Neill

842
00:31:26,670 --> 00:31:29,850
and he does whenever he does Planet Ridge

843
00:31:29,850 --> 00:31:34,950
with Larry he always does the Chicago shooting

844
00:31:34,950 --> 00:31:37,550
report and it's I don't think I've heard

845
00:31:37,550 --> 00:31:39,230
it under double digits ever.

846
00:31:40,330 --> 00:31:42,790
Just from the weekend how many people were

847
00:31:42,790 --> 00:31:43,790
shot in Chicago?

848
00:31:44,310 --> 00:31:47,090
But city data shows violent crime trending down

849
00:31:47,090 --> 00:31:49,970
including homicides dropping more than 30% this

850
00:31:49,970 --> 00:31:50,310
year.

851
00:31:50,790 --> 00:31:52,910
Mayor Brandon Johnson claims even though the Trump

852
00:31:52,910 --> 00:31:56,290
administration cut federal funding for gun violence prevention

853
00:31:56,290 --> 00:31:58,830
programs in the U.S. the city's investments

854
00:31:58,830 --> 00:32:02,130
in housing, community safety, and education are having

855
00:32:02,130 --> 00:32:03,130
a positive effect.

856
00:32:03,490 --> 00:32:05,670
What we're doing in Chicago is actually working.

857
00:32:05,870 --> 00:32:08,310
Again, 32% reduction in homicides.

858
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:10,030
That's not something to just blink at.

859
00:32:10,290 --> 00:32:11,930
Now, is there more work to be done?

860
00:32:12,150 --> 00:32:14,050
Notice the homicides.

861
00:32:14,230 --> 00:32:16,130
Well, you know, less people died from the

862
00:32:16,130 --> 00:32:16,450
shooting.

863
00:32:16,650 --> 00:32:18,610
There's other people maimed and full of holes.

864
00:32:18,730 --> 00:32:19,930
But it's good.

865
00:32:20,030 --> 00:32:20,890
We're trending down.

866
00:32:21,290 --> 00:32:21,390
Absolutely.

867
00:32:21,730 --> 00:32:23,550
So let's continue to do the work that's

868
00:32:23,550 --> 00:32:23,850
working.

869
00:32:24,110 --> 00:32:25,990
Johnson says he is taking Trump's threats.

870
00:32:26,170 --> 00:32:26,410
Do the work that's working?

871
00:32:26,650 --> 00:32:26,910
Yes.

872
00:32:27,250 --> 00:32:28,530
That's a political term.

873
00:32:28,710 --> 00:32:29,710
Do the work that's working.

874
00:32:29,870 --> 00:32:30,190
Absolutely.

875
00:32:30,630 --> 00:32:32,450
So let's continue to do the work that's

876
00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:32,750
working.

877
00:32:32,970 --> 00:32:35,510
Johnson says he is taking Trump's threats seriously

878
00:32:35,510 --> 00:32:37,690
something Alderman Brian Hopkins echoes.

879
00:32:38,090 --> 00:32:40,410
Both feel deploying troops would only increase tensions,

880
00:32:40,610 --> 00:32:41,590
not solve anything.

881
00:32:41,790 --> 00:32:44,270
If he really wants to help Chicago's law

882
00:32:44,270 --> 00:32:46,470
enforcement problem, he should give us a federal

883
00:32:46,470 --> 00:32:48,830
homeland security grant so we could hire 2

884
00:32:48,830 --> 00:32:52,330
,000 police officers, Chicagoans, who know our city.

885
00:32:52,510 --> 00:32:54,450
Trump's order to send hundreds of troops to

886
00:32:54,450 --> 00:32:56,450
Los Angeles is currently at the center of

887
00:32:56,450 --> 00:32:57,310
a legal challenge.

888
00:32:57,590 --> 00:32:59,210
It's likely the same would happen if he

889
00:32:59,210 --> 00:33:00,610
tried to do this with Chicago.

890
00:33:01,090 --> 00:33:03,890
Johnson says they'll leave no stones unturned, including

891
00:33:03,890 --> 00:33:05,770
legal action if it comes to it.

892
00:33:05,850 --> 00:33:09,030
We will use every single tool available to

893
00:33:09,030 --> 00:33:12,910
stop this president from disrupting the lives of

894
00:33:13,490 --> 00:33:13,910
Chicagoans.

895
00:33:14,090 --> 00:33:17,030
The president says after Chicago, he's looking to

896
00:33:17,030 --> 00:33:20,590
New York and L.A. Now, what do

897
00:33:20,590 --> 00:33:22,370
you know about the legality of this?

898
00:33:22,610 --> 00:33:23,650
Can the president do this?

899
00:33:23,950 --> 00:33:24,330
It's not legal.

900
00:33:24,630 --> 00:33:25,850
The whole thing is a bluff.

901
00:33:26,190 --> 00:33:26,370
Yeah.

902
00:33:26,550 --> 00:33:28,990
And the dumb Democrats are buying into it

903
00:33:28,990 --> 00:33:30,730
and they think something's going to happen.

904
00:33:31,150 --> 00:33:33,990
And this is all about the 2026 midterms,

905
00:33:34,430 --> 00:33:35,990
and Trump's going to be able to walk

906
00:33:35,990 --> 00:33:38,090
away saying, well, we wanted to do this,

907
00:33:38,150 --> 00:33:39,990
we wanted to do that, but they were

908
00:33:39,990 --> 00:33:42,790
defending crime and they were lying about the

909
00:33:42,790 --> 00:33:42,950
crime.

910
00:33:43,710 --> 00:33:47,330
They're documenting left and right, especially those police

911
00:33:48,290 --> 00:33:51,790
associations, the unions, documenting that the cops aren't

912
00:33:51,790 --> 00:33:54,070
doing their job when it comes to reporting

913
00:33:54,070 --> 00:33:54,730
correctly.

914
00:33:55,590 --> 00:33:57,430
There's one guy that's been floating around in

915
00:33:57,430 --> 00:33:59,170
D.C. and he's been on Waters and

916
00:33:59,170 --> 00:34:01,030
all the other shows, and he says the

917
00:34:01,030 --> 00:34:02,910
cops are, you know, the guy, some kid

918
00:34:02,910 --> 00:34:05,550
gets shot, is attempted murder, but they send

919
00:34:05,550 --> 00:34:07,290
him to the hospital as an incident.

920
00:34:07,449 --> 00:34:09,170
They don't report it as such.

921
00:34:09,429 --> 00:34:11,110
So the numbers are, and people are going

922
00:34:11,110 --> 00:34:12,889
into the computers and faking the numbers.

923
00:34:13,110 --> 00:34:15,070
So all these numbers are bogus and they're

924
00:34:15,070 --> 00:34:15,969
documenting that.

925
00:34:16,210 --> 00:34:18,110
They're documenting the fact that the crime has

926
00:34:18,110 --> 00:34:19,570
actually gone up, not down.

927
00:34:19,969 --> 00:34:22,510
And then they're going to point the finger

928
00:34:22,510 --> 00:34:22,969
at the Democrats.

929
00:34:23,090 --> 00:34:24,110
You want more crime?

930
00:34:24,550 --> 00:34:26,630
Vote for the Democrats in 2026.

931
00:34:26,670 --> 00:34:28,090
You're going to get more crime because that's

932
00:34:28,090 --> 00:34:28,770
what they're doing.

933
00:34:29,310 --> 00:34:31,830
This is just, he's not going into Chicago

934
00:34:31,830 --> 00:34:33,350
with the troops.

935
00:34:33,929 --> 00:34:35,530
It's just an idle threat.

936
00:34:36,810 --> 00:34:38,790
So you're telling me that the police in

937
00:34:38,790 --> 00:34:41,429
these cities today are fudging the numbers?

938
00:34:42,770 --> 00:34:45,210
Well, one guy was put on suspension in

939
00:34:45,210 --> 00:34:47,170
D.C. for it, and he was a

940
00:34:47,170 --> 00:34:50,590
fairly well-known lieutenant, I think, was his

941
00:34:50,590 --> 00:34:53,750
rank, and they talked about him because his

942
00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:57,730
superiors, the guys running the city, the commissioners

943
00:34:57,730 --> 00:34:59,550
and everyone else, this was in The Wire,

944
00:34:59,690 --> 00:35:01,630
by the way, this idea.

945
00:35:02,530 --> 00:35:03,430
Oh, yeah, you're right.

946
00:35:03,510 --> 00:35:05,710
You're right, it was, season one, absolutely.

947
00:35:06,590 --> 00:35:08,030
Yeah, it was in The Wire because this

948
00:35:08,030 --> 00:35:09,670
is what goes on in these big cities

949
00:35:09,670 --> 00:35:11,190
when they're trying to make their numbers look

950
00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:11,410
good.

951
00:35:11,530 --> 00:35:14,010
They phony up the numbers and oh, it's

952
00:35:14,010 --> 00:35:16,450
down, it's down, vote us in again.

953
00:35:16,850 --> 00:35:18,490
And it's all lies and they're starting to

954
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:19,930
document this to an extreme.

955
00:35:21,070 --> 00:35:23,450
And, I mean, the amount of bullcrap in

956
00:35:23,450 --> 00:35:25,850
terms of the reporting is well-known because

957
00:35:25,850 --> 00:35:28,110
they changed some ways of doing the reporting

958
00:35:28,110 --> 00:35:30,070
to the FBI and we had this so

959
00:35:30,070 --> 00:35:31,670
-called downturn in crime.

960
00:35:31,790 --> 00:35:32,510
It hasn't happened.

961
00:35:32,950 --> 00:35:35,410
This is nonsense and they're going to document

962
00:35:35,410 --> 00:35:38,350
enough of it to keep the Democrats from

963
00:35:38,350 --> 00:35:38,910
getting votes.

964
00:35:39,070 --> 00:35:42,650
You know why they get away with this?

965
00:35:42,710 --> 00:35:43,490
And I think you're right.

966
00:35:43,590 --> 00:35:44,990
I mean, we saw it here in Gillespie

967
00:35:44,990 --> 00:35:47,510
County with the previous sheriff.

968
00:35:47,590 --> 00:35:48,350
We got a new sheriff.

969
00:35:48,410 --> 00:35:50,570
There's a new sheriff in town, Sheriff Ayala.

970
00:35:51,230 --> 00:35:55,190
But the previous sheriff, he would never report

971
00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:56,070
to the newspaper.

972
00:35:56,070 --> 00:35:59,110
We have a newspaper on Wednesdays only.

973
00:35:59,850 --> 00:36:02,590
Would never report the actual things that they

974
00:36:02,590 --> 00:36:04,610
were doing and they weren't possibly even doing

975
00:36:04,610 --> 00:36:06,370
that much of it because we're a tourist

976
00:36:06,370 --> 00:36:06,990
destination.

977
00:36:07,210 --> 00:36:09,190
So, oh, we can't have that.

978
00:36:09,270 --> 00:36:12,090
We can't report on the drugs in Fredericksburg.

979
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:13,390
We can't report on that.

980
00:36:13,650 --> 00:36:15,570
We can't report on all the people driving

981
00:36:15,570 --> 00:36:18,690
around drunk because that's what happens in an

982
00:36:18,690 --> 00:36:22,390
open carry, open container city.

983
00:36:23,330 --> 00:36:23,810
State?

984
00:36:24,310 --> 00:36:26,530
No, we're not an open container state.

985
00:36:26,930 --> 00:36:28,470
I thought all of Texas you could drive

986
00:36:28,470 --> 00:36:29,430
around with an open beer.

987
00:36:29,870 --> 00:36:30,350
No.

988
00:36:32,050 --> 00:36:33,050
That's not what I was told.

989
00:36:33,070 --> 00:36:35,450
You can't drive around anywhere with an open

990
00:36:35,450 --> 00:36:35,810
beer.

991
00:36:36,190 --> 00:36:38,570
You can walk on the street in Fredericksburg.

992
00:36:39,210 --> 00:36:40,490
It's only one of six cities.

993
00:36:40,490 --> 00:36:42,590
Can somebody from Texas back me up on

994
00:36:42,590 --> 00:36:42,690
this?

995
00:36:42,690 --> 00:36:44,530
You cannot drive around with an...

996
00:36:44,530 --> 00:36:45,410
I'm from Texas.

997
00:36:45,630 --> 00:36:46,890
I'm not going to back you up because

998
00:36:46,890 --> 00:36:47,030
you're wrong.

999
00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:48,490
Yeah, but you're not from Texas.

1000
00:36:48,850 --> 00:36:49,790
You're in Texas.

1001
00:36:50,030 --> 00:36:51,750
I've been here 15 years.

1002
00:36:53,050 --> 00:36:55,650
You cannot drive around with an open container

1003
00:36:55,650 --> 00:36:57,250
of alcohol in your vehicle.

1004
00:36:58,010 --> 00:36:58,230
Beer.

1005
00:36:58,770 --> 00:36:59,870
Beer either.

1006
00:37:00,670 --> 00:37:00,950
No.

1007
00:37:01,510 --> 00:37:02,570
You can have a gun.

1008
00:37:03,410 --> 00:37:03,630
Eh.

1009
00:37:05,510 --> 00:37:08,570
But, you know, there's no more local news.

1010
00:37:09,390 --> 00:37:12,890
There's no city desk guy, you know, who's

1011
00:37:12,890 --> 00:37:15,050
going in and knocking on doors and saying,

1012
00:37:15,190 --> 00:37:16,970
hey, we're going down to be listening to

1013
00:37:16,970 --> 00:37:17,910
the police scanner.

1014
00:37:19,430 --> 00:37:21,470
Can't even listen to the police scanner anymore.

1015
00:37:21,550 --> 00:37:22,170
It's all digital.

1016
00:37:23,310 --> 00:37:24,030
That's the problem.

1017
00:37:24,690 --> 00:37:26,450
There's no more local reporting.

1018
00:37:27,090 --> 00:37:29,150
That's why everyone gets away with everything.

1019
00:37:29,350 --> 00:37:31,670
There's no city hall reporter.

1020
00:37:33,090 --> 00:37:34,890
Maybe Chicago has one.

1021
00:37:35,150 --> 00:37:37,610
The rest just sit at WGN and read

1022
00:37:37,610 --> 00:37:38,490
the press releases.

1023
00:37:39,710 --> 00:37:40,530
Wouldn't you say?

1024
00:37:41,030 --> 00:37:42,690
Yes, that's what you do.

1025
00:37:42,690 --> 00:37:45,390
Yeah, but we have this thing called podcast,

1026
00:37:45,650 --> 00:37:45,950
people.

1027
00:37:46,610 --> 00:37:47,390
We got blogs.

1028
00:37:47,930 --> 00:37:48,750
We got Substack.

1029
00:37:49,270 --> 00:37:51,790
Get out there and start reporting on stuff.

1030
00:37:52,530 --> 00:37:53,570
Well, that one guy.

1031
00:37:53,730 --> 00:37:57,230
Who's the guy who reports on the Chicago,

1032
00:37:57,870 --> 00:37:59,310
on the shootings?

1033
00:37:59,750 --> 00:38:00,630
It's very popular.

1034
00:38:01,030 --> 00:38:02,190
I don't know if it's a...

1035
00:38:02,190 --> 00:38:03,230
I think it's a blog.

1036
00:38:04,370 --> 00:38:06,190
We've talked about it at some point.

1037
00:38:06,290 --> 00:38:06,970
No, I don't remember.

1038
00:38:07,350 --> 00:38:09,090
Well, there's so many.

1039
00:38:09,090 --> 00:38:11,530
You do full-time job reporting on the

1040
00:38:11,530 --> 00:38:12,450
shootings in Chicago.

1041
00:38:12,950 --> 00:38:13,170
Yeah.

1042
00:38:14,070 --> 00:38:14,750
Let me see.

1043
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:15,950
What's about Chicago?

1044
00:38:16,070 --> 00:38:17,070
Somebody knows that.

1045
00:38:17,550 --> 00:38:19,130
Anyway, what do you have on this?

1046
00:38:20,330 --> 00:38:21,910
Well, I have a couple of things.

1047
00:38:21,990 --> 00:38:23,110
I have the...

1048
00:38:23,110 --> 00:38:25,590
There's been a lot of the Democrats going

1049
00:38:25,590 --> 00:38:28,670
on and on about DC crime.

1050
00:38:28,890 --> 00:38:30,950
I picked this up from NTD.

1051
00:38:31,350 --> 00:38:34,630
The Democrats are saying there was no crime.

1052
00:38:34,730 --> 00:38:37,790
People are upset that they hate Trump for

1053
00:38:37,790 --> 00:38:40,250
doing this and they hate him for...

1054
00:38:40,250 --> 00:38:41,950
Because there's no real crime in DC.

1055
00:38:42,270 --> 00:38:43,510
It's not that bad.

1056
00:38:43,730 --> 00:38:45,270
I live here, they say.

1057
00:38:45,730 --> 00:38:46,690
It goes on and on.

1058
00:38:47,570 --> 00:38:48,790
NTD has a...

1059
00:38:48,790 --> 00:38:51,350
This is clips DC crime, man on the

1060
00:38:51,350 --> 00:38:51,790
street.

1061
00:38:52,290 --> 00:38:52,770
Okay.

1062
00:38:53,050 --> 00:38:54,490
And just a little more than a week

1063
00:38:54,490 --> 00:38:57,050
into the federal takeover of DC police, the

1064
00:38:57,050 --> 00:38:59,970
Trump administration unveils data showing a large number

1065
00:38:59,970 --> 00:39:02,470
of arrests happening in high-crime neighborhoods.

1066
00:39:02,470 --> 00:39:05,070
What do residents in those areas make of

1067
00:39:05,070 --> 00:39:05,870
the crackdown?

1068
00:39:06,310 --> 00:39:08,650
NTD's Sam Wong was out in DC's Anacostia

1069
00:39:08,650 --> 00:39:10,130
neighborhood to hear from the people.

1070
00:39:10,870 --> 00:39:11,910
Do you feel safe being out here?

1071
00:39:12,370 --> 00:39:12,890
Oh, absolutely.

1072
00:39:13,350 --> 00:39:15,690
You know, other than the presence of the

1073
00:39:15,690 --> 00:39:18,550
law enforcement, everything is, you know, as it

1074
00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:19,410
always has been.

1075
00:39:19,610 --> 00:39:24,030
There has not been any altercations as it

1076
00:39:24,030 --> 00:39:24,970
was in the past.

1077
00:39:25,110 --> 00:39:27,470
We're here shooting almost every other night, sometimes

1078
00:39:27,470 --> 00:39:28,270
every week.

1079
00:39:29,450 --> 00:39:31,150
You know, sometimes there's...

1080
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:33,350
I mean, when I say shooting, I mean

1081
00:39:33,350 --> 00:39:36,550
they shooting all day, broad daylight, sometimes at

1082
00:39:36,550 --> 00:39:37,370
nighttime mostly.

1083
00:39:37,710 --> 00:39:39,210
What you do here in the daytime.

1084
00:39:39,550 --> 00:39:41,530
Have you noticed an increase of law enforcement

1085
00:39:41,530 --> 00:39:42,490
presence around here?

1086
00:39:42,930 --> 00:39:43,370
Yes, sir.

1087
00:39:43,410 --> 00:39:46,250
I have noticed a lot more increase, but

1088
00:39:46,250 --> 00:39:49,950
it's a shame that it takes Donald Trump

1089
00:39:49,950 --> 00:39:51,570
to bring all these people in for all

1090
00:39:51,570 --> 00:39:53,150
the police to come outside and do their

1091
00:39:53,150 --> 00:39:53,890
jobs, actually.

1092
00:39:54,110 --> 00:39:57,450
This is actually my first experience with this,

1093
00:39:57,630 --> 00:39:58,370
the law enforcement.

1094
00:39:58,990 --> 00:39:59,870
And man, it's cool.

1095
00:40:00,310 --> 00:40:02,150
That doesn't bother me, them being around here.

1096
00:40:02,730 --> 00:40:04,370
If you're doing what you're supposed to do,

1097
00:40:04,530 --> 00:40:04,990
guess what?

1098
00:40:05,110 --> 00:40:06,570
Hey, they're doing the right thing.

1099
00:40:07,890 --> 00:40:08,770
Heyjackass.com.

1100
00:40:08,810 --> 00:40:09,710
That's the website.

1101
00:40:12,260 --> 00:40:13,740
That's the guy who reports on.

1102
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:14,640
Heyjackass.

1103
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:16,400
August.

1104
00:40:17,740 --> 00:40:18,980
Shot and killed, 24.

1105
00:40:19,220 --> 00:40:20,920
Shot and wounded, 156.

1106
00:40:21,860 --> 00:40:23,200
Total shot, 180.

1107
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,100
Total homicides, 26.

1108
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:27,940
Last week, shot and killed, eight.

1109
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,280
Shot and wounded, 37.

1110
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:30,800
Total shot, 45.

1111
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,500
Total homicides, eight.

1112
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,680
Year to date, shot and killed in Chicago,

1113
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:36,580
229.

1114
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,480
Shot and wounded, 1,056.

1115
00:40:40,020 --> 00:40:42,620
Total shot, 1,285.

1116
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:44,520
Total homicides, 275.

1117
00:40:44,820 --> 00:40:47,320
The guy's got graphs, got all kinds of

1118
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:47,600
stuff.

1119
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:48,660
He's got merch.

1120
00:40:50,100 --> 00:40:51,480
He's got merch.

1121
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:52,660
He's got merch.

1122
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,480
With spent shell casings.

1123
00:40:54,700 --> 00:40:56,120
The heyjackass.com.

1124
00:40:56,740 --> 00:40:56,960
Yeah.

1125
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,720
So, that's the kind of stuff that we

1126
00:40:59,720 --> 00:41:00,020
need.

1127
00:41:00,220 --> 00:41:01,640
And the people need to talk about these

1128
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:01,880
things.

1129
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:02,760
Hey, I'm going to put it in the

1130
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:03,280
show notes.

1131
00:41:04,540 --> 00:41:05,340
Heyjackass.com.

1132
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:06,660
It's a good one.

1133
00:41:09,970 --> 00:41:10,170
Okay.

1134
00:41:10,310 --> 00:41:12,470
I think we've covered that enough.

1135
00:41:12,630 --> 00:41:12,950
Okay.

1136
00:41:13,010 --> 00:41:13,870
What else you got then?

1137
00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:16,410
Well, I got some TikTok clips, but first

1138
00:41:16,410 --> 00:41:16,970
of all...

1139
00:41:16,970 --> 00:41:17,070
Really?

1140
00:41:17,070 --> 00:41:17,390
Really?

1141
00:41:17,450 --> 00:41:18,730
You're going to start off in the first

1142
00:41:18,730 --> 00:41:18,830
hour with TikTok?

1143
00:41:18,830 --> 00:41:19,070
Okay.

1144
00:41:19,130 --> 00:41:20,250
I'm going to push that off to the

1145
00:41:20,250 --> 00:41:20,730
second half.

1146
00:41:20,850 --> 00:41:23,250
I do have, you know, Taylor Swift finally

1147
00:41:23,250 --> 00:41:24,270
came on a podcast.

1148
00:41:25,510 --> 00:41:26,790
Hold on, everybody.

1149
00:41:28,230 --> 00:41:30,030
And now, back to you.

1150
00:41:30,470 --> 00:41:32,270
Yes, on her boyfriend's podcast.

1151
00:41:33,650 --> 00:41:34,450
Kelsey's podcast.

1152
00:41:34,610 --> 00:41:37,670
She came on to plug her album, and

1153
00:41:37,670 --> 00:41:38,730
somebody...

1154
00:41:38,730 --> 00:41:41,150
This is a good kind of compressed version.

1155
00:41:41,250 --> 00:41:42,750
This is not safe for work, by the

1156
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:44,270
way, for anyone out there that's got kids.

1157
00:41:44,770 --> 00:41:45,770
But listen to Taylor.

1158
00:41:46,110 --> 00:41:47,230
This is kind of a surprise.

1159
00:41:47,990 --> 00:41:48,810
Thanks for having me.

1160
00:41:48,830 --> 00:41:49,770
This is my first podcast.

1161
00:41:50,390 --> 00:41:51,050
This is amazing.

1162
00:41:51,290 --> 00:41:52,330
Thank you for coming on.

1163
00:41:52,330 --> 00:41:53,690
What took you so long to jump on

1164
00:41:53,690 --> 00:41:54,350
podcasts?

1165
00:41:54,550 --> 00:41:54,930
You know what?

1166
00:41:54,930 --> 00:41:55,810
I just...

1167
00:41:55,810 --> 00:41:58,210
I was waiting for you guys to invite

1168
00:41:58,210 --> 00:41:58,410
me.

1169
00:41:58,550 --> 00:41:59,750
This is my favorite podcast.

1170
00:42:00,070 --> 00:42:02,110
Okay, so let's jump into the nitty-gritty.

1171
00:42:02,610 --> 00:42:03,990
Who do you think is the sexiest man

1172
00:42:03,990 --> 00:42:04,530
alive today?

1173
00:42:04,730 --> 00:42:05,790
It can be Travis or it can be

1174
00:42:05,790 --> 00:42:06,330
anyone else.

1175
00:42:06,570 --> 00:42:08,210
Who is the sexiest man, in your opinion?

1176
00:42:08,590 --> 00:42:11,610
I mean, honestly, and I'm sorry, baby, that

1177
00:42:11,610 --> 00:42:12,610
you're going to have to hear this.

1178
00:42:13,410 --> 00:42:15,810
I honestly think President Trump is the sexiest

1179
00:42:15,810 --> 00:42:16,730
motherfucker alive.

1180
00:42:17,110 --> 00:42:19,710
I mean, hot damn that man is hot.

1181
00:42:19,710 --> 00:42:20,690
I totally agree.

1182
00:42:20,870 --> 00:42:22,410
That is a sexy beast right there.

1183
00:42:22,610 --> 00:42:23,610
But aren't you a Democrat?

1184
00:42:23,850 --> 00:42:24,470
You know what?

1185
00:42:24,770 --> 00:42:25,870
Fuck the DNC.

1186
00:42:26,090 --> 00:42:27,170
You heard me.

1187
00:42:27,550 --> 00:42:30,410
Fuck these woke-ass liberals telling us Joe

1188
00:42:30,410 --> 00:42:32,210
Biden was sharp as a tack.

1189
00:42:32,510 --> 00:42:34,430
The man was fucking retarded.

1190
00:42:34,950 --> 00:42:37,510
And why the hell did they lock us

1191
00:42:37,510 --> 00:42:38,710
down during COVID?

1192
00:42:39,670 --> 00:42:40,230
Whoops.

1193
00:42:40,850 --> 00:42:42,250
I guess we lost the signal there.

1194
00:42:42,370 --> 00:42:43,030
Can you guys hear me?

1195
00:42:44,310 --> 00:42:44,730
Yeah.

1196
00:42:44,930 --> 00:42:45,730
AI, of course.

1197
00:42:45,790 --> 00:42:46,250
Very funny.

1198
00:42:46,610 --> 00:42:46,950
What?

1199
00:42:46,950 --> 00:42:51,590
The sad part is I had never listened

1200
00:42:51,590 --> 00:42:54,510
to the Kelsey Brothers podcast.

1201
00:42:54,990 --> 00:42:58,630
They're actually not bad as podcasters go.

1202
00:42:58,770 --> 00:43:00,270
I was quite impressed with them.

1203
00:43:01,550 --> 00:43:04,390
You know, it was better than that AI

1204
00:43:04,390 --> 00:43:05,630
version of it for sure.

1205
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,180
Well, I thought this AI version, which counters

1206
00:43:10,180 --> 00:43:11,680
the one you played last show.

1207
00:43:12,100 --> 00:43:12,600
Yes.

1208
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,260
And so if you're going to play them,

1209
00:43:14,340 --> 00:43:14,940
I'm playing them.

1210
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:15,900
Yeah, no, that's fine.

1211
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,300
I'm totally okay with that.

1212
00:43:17,540 --> 00:43:19,200
Anything but the TikTok ladies.

1213
00:43:20,580 --> 00:43:22,920
Let's go to the UK with some UK

1214
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,600
anti-migrant action to follow up on our

1215
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,260
flags thing from last show.

1216
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:31,040
Yes, raising the colours movement.

1217
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,100
Anti-migrant protests have taken place in about

1218
00:43:34,100 --> 00:43:36,160
a dozen towns and cities in the UK

1219
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,900
focused on the use of hotels to accommodate

1220
00:43:38,900 --> 00:43:39,880
asylum seekers.

1221
00:43:40,420 --> 00:43:43,120
In Liverpool, more than 400 people joined a

1222
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,360
march calling for migrants to be deported.

1223
00:43:46,060 --> 00:43:48,560
In several locations, there were counter rallies by

1224
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,000
anti-racism protesters.

1225
00:43:50,720 --> 00:43:54,120
Our political correspondent Ian Watson says migration is

1226
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,740
proving a difficult subject for the Labour government.

1227
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,060
The concern over asylum hotels has put a

1228
00:44:00,060 --> 00:44:02,260
renewed focus on Labour's records since they came

1229
00:44:02,260 --> 00:44:02,820
to office.

1230
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:05,460
I think the other problem which the current

1231
00:44:05,460 --> 00:44:07,320
Labour government has is this.

1232
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,000
Some of their MPs are telling me that

1233
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,500
in areas which are traditionally ones which they

1234
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:13,460
would win at a general election, some people

1235
00:44:13,460 --> 00:44:16,540
are now becoming so concerned about migration, especially

1236
00:44:16,540 --> 00:44:19,260
the small boat crossings, that they're not listening

1237
00:44:19,260 --> 00:44:20,880
to the party on other issues and they're

1238
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,860
facing some regional and national elections next May

1239
00:44:23,860 --> 00:44:26,380
and they're very concerned that unless they make

1240
00:44:26,380 --> 00:44:28,480
greater progress on this issue, they'll start losing

1241
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,800
support to other parties.

1242
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,640
It's interesting the BBC takes it purely to

1243
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,160
politics, not about the outrage of the people

1244
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:40,320
who pay their salary through a forced payment.

1245
00:44:41,380 --> 00:44:45,040
The television payment scheme I think is what

1246
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,120
it's called, which is one of the oddest

1247
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,940
things they have in the UK.

1248
00:44:50,540 --> 00:44:52,780
I don't think a lot of people realise

1249
00:44:52,780 --> 00:44:54,300
what it is, you should explain it.

1250
00:44:55,860 --> 00:44:58,140
It's a licence you have to buy to

1251
00:44:58,140 --> 00:44:59,080
watch TV.

1252
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,480
Yes, I think I actually have it.

1253
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:04,520
I had a...

1254
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,460
And they float around the neighbourhoods with these

1255
00:45:08,460 --> 00:45:12,640
trucks with giant antennas on them because the

1256
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,060
signal comes off of a TV even though

1257
00:45:16,060 --> 00:45:16,780
it's a receiver.

1258
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,760
And so if they spot, they'll go by

1259
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,000
your house if you don't have a licence

1260
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,600
and they'll just aim this dish at you

1261
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,560
and then if they sense there's a television

1262
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,820
in the house, they will fine you.

1263
00:45:31,980 --> 00:45:35,580
Regardless of what you use your television for,

1264
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,280
if you have it, and it is done

1265
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:37,980
by...

1266
00:45:37,980 --> 00:45:39,800
Because the tuner gives off a signal, that's

1267
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:40,220
the problem.

1268
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:41,720
But also you can't buy it unless you

1269
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:43,380
buy a television from the guy on the

1270
00:45:43,380 --> 00:45:45,020
street corner like it's crack.

1271
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,420
You have to register your name because I

1272
00:45:48,420 --> 00:45:49,980
live there, I went through it.

1273
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,500
And it's not cheap, it's like $150 a

1274
00:45:53,500 --> 00:45:54,180
year I think.

1275
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,200
Yeah, it's not cheap, that's true.

1276
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:01,020
And I'm not even sure what the genesis

1277
00:46:01,020 --> 00:46:01,920
of this is.

1278
00:46:02,060 --> 00:46:05,020
I think it was because they didn't want

1279
00:46:05,020 --> 00:46:07,040
it to be a straight up tax coming

1280
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,780
out of the tax tax receipts.

1281
00:46:09,780 --> 00:46:12,040
I thought originally it was designed to pay

1282
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:12,800
for the BBC.

1283
00:46:13,380 --> 00:46:16,200
No, it is specifically designed to pay for

1284
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:16,700
the BBC.

1285
00:46:17,140 --> 00:46:18,520
The reason they didn't want it to be

1286
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,180
a tax is so that it wouldn't be

1287
00:46:20,180 --> 00:46:23,320
a political football like, I don't know, corporations

1288
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,620
for public broadcasting.

1289
00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:26,640
So that that couldn't happen.

1290
00:46:26,740 --> 00:46:28,700
What happened here could not happen to the

1291
00:46:28,700 --> 00:46:29,040
BBC.

1292
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,680
In contrast to that, well not really contrast,

1293
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,400
but this is the Euronews short report about

1294
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:36,560
it.

1295
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,420
Protesters took to the streets across the UK

1296
00:46:39,420 --> 00:46:43,460
on Saturday to demonstrate against hotels housing asylum

1297
00:46:43,460 --> 00:46:44,740
seekers in Liverpool.

1298
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,620
Crowds could be seen carrying the St. George's

1299
00:46:47,620 --> 00:46:49,400
Cross and Union Jack flags.

1300
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,040
Police could be seen leading people away from

1301
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,560
the abolish asylum system protest, a term coined

1302
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,400
by right-wing political parties.

1303
00:46:57,820 --> 00:46:59,940
Demonstrations were also set to take place in

1304
00:46:59,940 --> 00:47:03,080
other cities including Bristol, Newcastle and London.

1305
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,980
This week a temporary injunction blocked housing asylum

1306
00:47:06,980 --> 00:47:09,140
seekers in a hotel on the outskirts of

1307
00:47:09,140 --> 00:47:10,860
London, reigniting the debate.

1308
00:47:11,140 --> 00:47:12,860
Counter protests were also held.

1309
00:47:13,140 --> 00:47:14,540
So we got a boots on the ground

1310
00:47:14,540 --> 00:47:15,280
from Peter.

1311
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,520
Here he is.

1312
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,040
Here in the UK it's worse than you

1313
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:19,980
and John think.

1314
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,960
Almost everyone I speak to with a decent

1315
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,820
job, business and family is despondent.

1316
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:28,500
That's a good word.

1317
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:29,360
Wow.

1318
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,320
What does despondent mean?

1319
00:47:31,700 --> 00:47:32,500
It's depressed.

1320
00:47:32,740 --> 00:47:35,160
It's the kind of depression that is the

1321
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,040
hang dog type depression.

1322
00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:39,260
Oh, I feel so bad.

1323
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:43,560
They think the third world takeover is inevitable.

1324
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,260
Every town now has half a dozen vape

1325
00:47:46,260 --> 00:47:50,200
shops, Turkish barbers and shawarma takeaways with no

1326
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,520
customers and big mercs outside.

1327
00:47:53,060 --> 00:47:54,720
The housing market is stalled.

1328
00:47:54,820 --> 00:47:55,980
I've heard this from a number of people.

1329
00:47:55,980 --> 00:47:58,360
There are eight houses for sale on our

1330
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,240
small village high street.

1331
00:48:00,420 --> 00:48:01,840
None have sold for months.

1332
00:48:02,460 --> 00:48:04,260
Five years ago they would have gone within

1333
00:48:04,260 --> 00:48:04,700
a month.

1334
00:48:05,340 --> 00:48:06,840
Everything has gone up in price.

1335
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,760
Food inflation is out of control.

1336
00:48:09,260 --> 00:48:11,360
Highest electricity prices in the world.

1337
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,340
Property taxes jacked up and taxes on home

1338
00:48:14,340 --> 00:48:16,200
value and inheritance are threatened.

1339
00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:19,180
Investors are putting their money abroad and in

1340
00:48:19,180 --> 00:48:21,720
the city of London mergers and IPOs have

1341
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:22,340
flat lined.

1342
00:48:22,940 --> 00:48:25,360
UK companies are listing in the US rather

1343
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:26,920
than the London Stock Exchange.

1344
00:48:27,620 --> 00:48:29,280
I speak to so many people who want

1345
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:29,540
out.

1346
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,280
I've never heard so many people who are

1347
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,060
looking for places to get their family and

1348
00:48:33,060 --> 00:48:34,100
money out of the UK.

1349
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:35,220
We certainly are.

1350
00:48:36,380 --> 00:48:36,820
Right.

1351
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,780
I'm going back to the garage where I'm

1352
00:48:39,780 --> 00:48:41,740
laying down the keel for Mayflower 2.

1353
00:48:44,100 --> 00:48:46,120
He wants to be a plumber in America.

1354
00:48:46,340 --> 00:48:47,180
Come on over Peter.

1355
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:50,020
We can use plumbers.

1356
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,430
We should have special visa for plumbers.

1357
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,480
One of our producers sent in a note

1358
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:02,840
mentioning that Satan is probably Amy Pope.

1359
00:49:04,380 --> 00:49:06,740
You mean from the UN?

1360
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,180
The International Organization for Migration.

1361
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,920
Which is an operation we should revisit once

1362
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:13,140
in a while.

1363
00:49:13,260 --> 00:49:14,820
I looked up Amy Pope.

1364
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:16,600
She worked for Clinton.

1365
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:17,580
She worked for Obama.

1366
00:49:17,780 --> 00:49:19,480
I mean she worked for Hillary Clinton.

1367
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:20,420
She worked for Obama.

1368
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:21,540
She worked for Biden.

1369
00:49:21,660 --> 00:49:22,380
She was in charge.

1370
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,560
She was the real border czar that opened

1371
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:25,960
the borders it looks like.

1372
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,000
Try to find anything.

1373
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,500
She doesn't have a wiki entry except in

1374
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:31,020
Deutschland.

1375
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:33,160
Oh really?

1376
00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:34,120
Yeah.

1377
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,180
The wiki page is in German.

1378
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:39,800
Even though she's in America I don't get

1379
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:40,100
that.

1380
00:49:41,740 --> 00:49:45,320
She does have a sketchy she's not sketchy

1381
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,140
in her education or anything but she's part

1382
00:49:47,140 --> 00:49:51,560
of the Chatham House which is a nice

1383
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,280
6th front in the UK.

1384
00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:56,360
Chatham House and some other spooky operations she's

1385
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:57,640
got some connections to.

1386
00:49:58,740 --> 00:50:00,400
Obviously a bad actor.

1387
00:50:00,580 --> 00:50:01,980
It's all funded by us.

1388
00:50:02,340 --> 00:50:04,820
Why does the American public put up with

1389
00:50:04,820 --> 00:50:05,020
this?

1390
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:09,860
Why are we dropping our money into these

1391
00:50:09,860 --> 00:50:12,520
organizations that are all centered at the UN?

1392
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,160
When I was a kid when I was

1393
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,520
a kid we used to have a pharmacy

1394
00:50:20,020 --> 00:50:24,200
in Albany and this is during the Berkeley

1395
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,400
era and when there was protests and all

1396
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:27,860
this stuff going on.

1397
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,820
There was right wingers and they had all

1398
00:50:30,820 --> 00:50:33,120
these bumper stickers on the window and one

1399
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,560
of them was always get the US out

1400
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,300
of the UN or get the UN out

1401
00:50:38,300 --> 00:50:42,260
of the US and it actually was done

1402
00:50:42,260 --> 00:50:43,180
in such a way as to get the

1403
00:50:43,180 --> 00:50:46,940
United Nations, get the UN out of United

1404
00:50:46,940 --> 00:50:47,360
States.

1405
00:50:47,460 --> 00:50:49,520
It was some pun.

1406
00:50:49,820 --> 00:50:53,100
It was a bumper sticker and everyone always

1407
00:50:53,100 --> 00:50:55,120
thought what a silly group of people these

1408
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:55,640
Birchers.

1409
00:50:55,740 --> 00:50:58,100
There's a John Birch Society bookstore about three

1410
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:00,860
doors down and we always thought that they

1411
00:51:00,860 --> 00:51:03,740
were kind of nutty but looking back on

1412
00:51:03,740 --> 00:51:05,900
it they were ahead of their time.

1413
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,860
The way I see it now was I

1414
00:51:10,020 --> 00:51:12,080
a buffoon back in the day, I guess

1415
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:12,400
so.

1416
00:51:13,380 --> 00:51:15,120
Okay, so you bring up an interesting point

1417
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:15,440
first.

1418
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,420
We have discussed Amy Pope quite a bit

1419
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,860
I'll play a shorter clip from last year.

1420
00:51:22,340 --> 00:51:25,340
She is the head honcho at the International

1421
00:51:25,340 --> 00:51:26,740
Office of Migration.

1422
00:51:26,940 --> 00:51:29,080
We just finished an incredible day and a

1423
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,400
half for the International Dialogue for Migration.

1424
00:51:31,860 --> 00:51:33,940
We had singing, we had dancing, we had

1425
00:51:33,940 --> 00:51:37,920
artwork and we had extraordinarily thoughtful conversation about

1426
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,460
the impact of climate change on human mobility.

1427
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,600
Now as we move toward COP28 it is

1428
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,880
critical that we put all of these ideas

1429
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:46,780
into action.

1430
00:51:47,260 --> 00:51:50,200
Action that enables people who are impacted by

1431
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,620
climate change to find better solutions.

1432
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,000
Whether they're already on the move, whether they're

1433
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,080
looking for options to stay at home, or

1434
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,480
whether they need new opportunities because climate change

1435
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,100
will cause their own options to disappear.

1436
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,900
The time for action is now and IOM

1437
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:10,480
can't wait to be part of it.

1438
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,640
Okay, so there's a lot of clips, a

1439
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,300
lot of it is about climate change and

1440
00:52:15,300 --> 00:52:17,540
so when we look at the climate change

1441
00:52:17,540 --> 00:52:20,220
organization, because people always By the way, it

1442
00:52:20,220 --> 00:52:22,540
is the international organization, not office.

1443
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:25,140
What did I say, office?

1444
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,940
Yeah, it's got 20,000 people, big office.

1445
00:52:28,140 --> 00:52:29,340
But that's the point.

1446
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,700
What has grown over not 10, not 20,

1447
00:52:33,780 --> 00:52:35,740
not 30, but probably 60 years.

1448
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:37,560
It started in the 50s.

1449
00:52:37,740 --> 00:52:39,400
The climate, okay, 70 years.

1450
00:52:39,700 --> 00:52:43,520
The group of climate scientists and climate people

1451
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,860
who are just getting billions of dollars to

1452
00:52:46,860 --> 00:52:49,540
waffle on about climate change.

1453
00:52:50,180 --> 00:52:52,640
So, we had a couple of producers who

1454
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,120
sent in notes like, well, you know, the

1455
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:59,380
true evil is the BlackRock, the Rand Corporation,

1456
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:03,740
you know, there's all these layers of headquarters

1457
00:53:03,740 --> 00:53:07,440
in all different places and everybody wants to

1458
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:08,980
blame a group.

1459
00:53:09,460 --> 00:53:12,960
And of course, my favorite, the Rothschilds, Soros.

1460
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,180
You can go on and on forever blaming

1461
00:53:16,180 --> 00:53:21,640
individuals, Obama, Biden, Clinton's.

1462
00:53:22,100 --> 00:53:23,940
We have good and evil in the world,

1463
00:53:24,020 --> 00:53:24,860
that's just a fact.

1464
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,380
But the only, because you said it, the

1465
00:53:27,380 --> 00:53:31,240
only people you can truly blame is ourselves.

1466
00:53:32,140 --> 00:53:33,860
Because we just sit around and puke on

1467
00:53:33,860 --> 00:53:37,140
social media about how they're no good, they're

1468
00:53:37,140 --> 00:53:38,220
doing this, they're doing that.

1469
00:53:38,540 --> 00:53:41,380
Go run for your local school board, your

1470
00:53:41,380 --> 00:53:46,880
city council, for, you know, your state house

1471
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:47,500
or senate.

1472
00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:48,960
I agree.

1473
00:53:49,140 --> 00:53:50,780
You should stop your complaining and let the

1474
00:53:50,780 --> 00:53:52,280
podcasters do the work for you.

1475
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:53,880
Well, we're actually doing something.

1476
00:53:54,060 --> 00:53:55,260
We do highlight this.

1477
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,120
COVID is when a lot of people woke

1478
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,740
up, but then they still default back to

1479
00:54:00,740 --> 00:54:05,520
Fauci, World Health Organization, WEF, Davos.

1480
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,500
Get off your blessed assurance and go do

1481
00:54:08,500 --> 00:54:09,440
something about it.

1482
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,980
You're allowing yourself to be treated as a

1483
00:54:11,980 --> 00:54:12,640
doormat.

1484
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,100
And social media is perfect.

1485
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:16,400
It's perfect.

1486
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,520
Everybody, oh, I feel much better now.

1487
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:20,380
I posted that.

1488
00:54:20,780 --> 00:54:21,920
I trolled him.

1489
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:23,920
That's right, I've left a comment.

1490
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:25,660
No, you're doing nothing.

1491
00:54:25,660 --> 00:54:30,080
This idea of doing this kind of public

1492
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,520
complaining predates modern social media.

1493
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,600
You'd find the same thing in the old

1494
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:40,160
-fashioned, you know, AOL chat room.

1495
00:54:40,380 --> 00:54:40,820
Of course.

1496
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,320
It's just people just bitch and moan and

1497
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:44,860
do nothing.

1498
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:46,740
Yes, that's exactly it.

1499
00:54:47,540 --> 00:54:49,000
Well, they should leave it to the professionals.

1500
00:54:49,580 --> 00:54:52,460
Well, we are professional bitches and moaners, but

1501
00:54:52,460 --> 00:54:53,780
I think we did help a lot of

1502
00:54:53,780 --> 00:54:55,900
people resist in whatever.

1503
00:54:56,220 --> 00:54:57,740
There's no doubt about it.

1504
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,720
Resist against, you know, the COVID measures to

1505
00:55:00,720 --> 00:55:02,240
at least have an idea of what was

1506
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:02,800
going on.

1507
00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:06,300
And we all really failed in many different

1508
00:55:06,300 --> 00:55:09,040
ways, but we need to take these lessons

1509
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,200
and stop pointing fingers at groups.

1510
00:55:12,860 --> 00:55:16,180
Every single No Agenda Telegram group is filled

1511
00:55:16,180 --> 00:55:16,760
with this.

1512
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:18,360
The Dutch are the worst.

1513
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,600
Oh, I love them, but I lurk.

1514
00:55:20,660 --> 00:55:21,420
I see what you're doing.

1515
00:55:21,420 --> 00:55:22,480
Oh, look at that guy.

1516
00:55:22,700 --> 00:55:24,440
Oh, look at this article about that guy.

1517
00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:25,460
That's bullcrap, man.

1518
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:26,180
That's just bullcrap.

1519
00:55:26,460 --> 00:55:27,300
Oh, it's the elites.

1520
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:27,960
There they go.

1521
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,000
The elites are doing it.

1522
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:30,740
You're doing nothing.

1523
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,880
It's your own fault.

1524
00:55:34,140 --> 00:55:35,480
You are to blame.

1525
00:55:36,380 --> 00:55:38,340
That's what the problem is.

1526
00:55:38,580 --> 00:55:40,000
Alright, I'll stop preaching now.

1527
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,280
Because people need to wake up.

1528
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:45,560
Do something.

1529
00:55:46,180 --> 00:55:47,700
There's plenty of stuff you can do.

1530
00:55:48,020 --> 00:55:49,840
I was part of the screw-it-up

1531
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:50,460
generation.

1532
00:55:51,300 --> 00:55:52,760
I was having a good time in the

1533
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:53,460
80s.

1534
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,000
Hey, man, I'm making bank.

1535
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:55,700
I'm at MTV.

1536
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:56,900
I'm on the radio.

1537
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,100
School board, loser.

1538
00:55:58,700 --> 00:55:59,720
Couldn't get a better gig.

1539
00:56:01,460 --> 00:56:09,240
Yeah, and so maybe the Gen Zers are

1540
00:56:09,900 --> 00:56:11,440
you know, look what they're doing.

1541
00:56:11,900 --> 00:56:13,000
They're homesteading.

1542
00:56:13,100 --> 00:56:14,560
They're moving out of the cities.

1543
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:15,760
They're homeschooling.

1544
00:56:15,860 --> 00:56:16,380
Yes, they are.

1545
00:56:16,380 --> 00:56:18,700
Yes, I get tons of emails.

1546
00:56:19,300 --> 00:56:22,040
The farmer's wife, she's got 17 kids at

1547
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:22,320
home.

1548
00:56:22,660 --> 00:56:23,680
She's taking care of them.

1549
00:56:24,220 --> 00:56:25,940
Gives them a little bit of an injection

1550
00:56:25,940 --> 00:56:27,340
with the No Agenda show.

1551
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:29,140
But okay, you can listen to this and

1552
00:56:29,140 --> 00:56:29,700
check it out.

1553
00:56:29,820 --> 00:56:30,800
This will give you an idea.

1554
00:56:31,820 --> 00:56:34,760
And the Brits, God bless them, they're finally

1555
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:35,520
saying no.

1556
00:56:36,180 --> 00:56:37,640
No, no, no, no.

1557
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:39,560
We don't want this.

1558
00:56:39,660 --> 00:56:40,820
Now, it's going to be a tough nut

1559
00:56:40,820 --> 00:56:44,080
to crack over there because you know, if

1560
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,800
you look at the video of those reports,

1561
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,960
the cops are busting heads and rousting people.

1562
00:56:50,620 --> 00:56:53,640
So your wake-up call came at the

1563
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,200
beginning of 2020.

1564
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:58,860
If you didn't take that as your wake

1565
00:56:58,860 --> 00:57:00,620
-up call, and so you can point to

1566
00:57:00,620 --> 00:57:02,600
as many people as you want, but you

1567
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,220
need to be pointing at yourself.

1568
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,420
Yeah, well, I'm going to be pointing at

1569
00:57:06,420 --> 00:57:07,080
Amy Pope.

1570
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:09,980
Okay, oh boy, Amy Pope.

1571
00:57:10,140 --> 00:57:13,060
She's just a symptom of the overall problem.

1572
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:19,260
These are lawless, faithless, ghoulish people who are

1573
00:57:19,260 --> 00:57:21,540
in it for all of the wrong—they're in

1574
00:57:21,540 --> 00:57:26,520
it for pride, for greed, for jealousy, you

1575
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,120
know, position, stature.

1576
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,320
I think you might be wrong on that.

1577
00:57:29,380 --> 00:57:30,360
They might be sincere.

1578
00:57:33,900 --> 00:57:34,300
No.

1579
00:57:34,940 --> 00:57:35,820
No, I don't think so.

1580
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,460
I think you always underestimate sincerity.

1581
00:57:42,770 --> 00:57:43,890
Well, regardless.

1582
00:57:45,470 --> 00:57:48,190
The answer, it lies within everybody themselves.

1583
00:57:48,610 --> 00:57:51,590
Use that stupid phone of yours to organize

1584
00:57:51,590 --> 00:57:53,090
somebody and go do something.

1585
00:57:53,690 --> 00:57:55,410
Have you ever really shown up somewhere and

1586
00:57:55,410 --> 00:57:56,530
said, hey, we're sick of this?

1587
00:57:56,890 --> 00:57:57,830
Have you ever been a part of that?

1588
00:57:57,890 --> 00:57:59,750
I'm not talking about, hey, hey, ho, ho,

1589
00:58:00,030 --> 00:58:01,130
Trump has got to go.

1590
00:58:01,370 --> 00:58:02,690
I mean, like, really showing up at a

1591
00:58:02,690 --> 00:58:03,590
meeting where it matters.

1592
00:58:04,070 --> 00:58:07,490
And not just— it's like the—there's the one,

1593
00:58:07,550 --> 00:58:08,930
I think he's a pastor, the black guy

1594
00:58:08,930 --> 00:58:11,250
who goes to the school board meetings, and

1595
00:58:11,250 --> 00:58:14,670
he'll read from the in the school.

1596
00:58:14,790 --> 00:58:15,190
Oh, yeah, that guy.

1597
00:58:15,370 --> 00:58:15,910
He's great.

1598
00:58:16,190 --> 00:58:17,970
But that's what I'm saying.

1599
00:58:18,230 --> 00:58:18,830
He's great.

1600
00:58:18,910 --> 00:58:20,970
Yeah, it's great for social media.

1601
00:58:21,310 --> 00:58:23,810
Oh, man, I can't believe they pulled that

1602
00:58:23,810 --> 00:58:24,550
guy out of there.

1603
00:58:24,990 --> 00:58:26,450
But why don't you run for the school

1604
00:58:26,450 --> 00:58:26,810
board?

1605
00:58:27,370 --> 00:58:28,910
Do something real.

1606
00:58:29,470 --> 00:58:29,810
All right.

1607
00:58:30,650 --> 00:58:31,370
I'm done.

1608
00:58:32,050 --> 00:58:32,510
I've said it.

1609
00:58:32,850 --> 00:58:33,970
You said that already.

1610
00:58:34,210 --> 00:58:35,150
Yeah, that's why I stopped.

1611
00:58:35,270 --> 00:58:35,950
I said it.

1612
00:58:39,470 --> 00:58:43,310
How about a moment for African news?

1613
00:58:43,950 --> 00:58:44,430
What?

1614
00:58:45,090 --> 00:58:48,210
Dude, we're going to have the lowest troll

1615
00:58:48,210 --> 00:58:49,410
room numbers ever.

1616
00:58:50,930 --> 00:58:51,830
This is a short clip.

1617
00:58:51,950 --> 00:58:52,710
It's less than a minute.

1618
00:58:53,230 --> 00:58:54,290
Or maybe it's a minute.

1619
00:58:56,190 --> 00:59:00,050
Niger—unfortunately it says Niferia, but it means Nigeria

1620
00:59:00,050 --> 00:59:00,890
gangs.

1621
00:59:01,330 --> 00:59:01,970
Have you heard about this?

1622
00:59:02,570 --> 00:59:06,410
I know there's— No, I don't know about

1623
00:59:06,410 --> 00:59:06,550
this.

1624
00:59:06,590 --> 00:59:08,470
I know something else about Nigeria, but let's

1625
00:59:08,470 --> 00:59:09,170
get this first.

1626
00:59:09,410 --> 00:59:11,730
The Nigerian military says it's carried out an

1627
00:59:11,730 --> 00:59:14,530
airstrike on a bandit camp in Katsina State

1628
00:59:14,530 --> 00:59:17,310
in an operation to rescue dozens of kidnapped

1629
00:59:17,310 --> 00:59:17,990
victims.

1630
00:59:18,530 --> 00:59:21,050
Lack of security has remained a serious problem

1631
00:59:21,050 --> 00:59:23,830
in much of Nigeria despite a promise by

1632
00:59:23,830 --> 00:59:25,430
the government to tackle the issue.

1633
00:59:25,890 --> 00:59:27,430
More from David Bamford.

1634
00:59:28,090 --> 00:59:31,250
Reports say 76 people were able to escape

1635
00:59:31,250 --> 00:59:32,990
as a result of the airstrike.

1636
00:59:33,370 --> 00:59:35,330
One child died during the rescue.

1637
00:59:35,910 --> 00:59:38,810
The military operation on Friday evening took place

1638
00:59:38,810 --> 00:59:41,450
at a location known as Powah Hill, from

1639
00:59:41,450 --> 00:59:43,770
where the criminal gang has been raiding local

1640
00:59:43,770 --> 00:59:44,330
communities.

1641
00:59:44,850 --> 00:59:47,550
Last week they shot dead 30 civilians in

1642
00:59:47,550 --> 00:59:50,070
a mosque in the town of Malumfashi, and

1643
00:59:50,070 --> 00:59:52,350
20 others were killed in surrounding villages.

1644
00:59:52,990 --> 00:59:55,970
The gangs kidnapped people for ransom, an exact

1645
00:59:55,970 --> 00:59:58,690
retribution on communities that do not pay.

1646
00:59:59,810 --> 01:00:00,510
Wow.

1647
01:00:00,710 --> 01:00:02,010
Sounds great there, Nigeria.

1648
01:00:03,150 --> 01:00:03,850
Yep.

1649
01:00:04,230 --> 01:00:08,310
I saw a list of the richest black—

1650
01:00:08,310 --> 01:00:11,810
no, the list of the world's black billionaires.

1651
01:00:12,030 --> 01:00:15,250
So black being just skin color, not necessarily

1652
01:00:15,870 --> 01:00:16,910
black American.

1653
01:00:17,390 --> 01:00:18,270
Yeah, black.

1654
01:00:19,010 --> 01:00:21,010
70% from Nigeria.

1655
01:00:23,340 --> 01:00:24,480
Probably all scammers.

1656
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,040
Well, I think I got an email from

1657
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:27,980
at least five of them.

1658
01:00:28,620 --> 01:00:30,680
But yeah, billionaires.

1659
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,240
I had no idea.

1660
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:34,440
A couple of them live in the States.

1661
01:00:34,620 --> 01:00:36,220
I think one or two live in the

1662
01:00:36,220 --> 01:00:36,500
UK.

1663
01:00:37,140 --> 01:00:39,580
But the Nigerians, man, they know how to

1664
01:00:39,580 --> 01:00:40,880
do it.

1665
01:00:42,540 --> 01:00:43,020
Yeah.

1666
01:00:44,620 --> 01:00:45,100
Scammers.

1667
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,460
In fact, you know that the Nigerian scam

1668
01:00:49,460 --> 01:00:51,060
where they used to make all kinds of

1669
01:00:51,060 --> 01:00:54,120
money just sending notes out to people is

1670
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,580
legal in Nigeria and is considered part of

1671
01:00:57,580 --> 01:00:58,120
their GDP.

1672
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:00,940
I know they consider it part of their

1673
01:01:00,940 --> 01:01:03,720
GDP, but I didn't know that it was

1674
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:05,320
just super legal.

1675
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:06,140
Yeah.

1676
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:08,600
What's illegal about it?

1677
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:09,880
Scam.

1678
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:11,780
Well, they're scamming other people, so I guess

1679
01:01:11,780 --> 01:01:12,260
that's good.

1680
01:01:12,460 --> 01:01:14,140
Yeah, they're not scamming their own.

1681
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:18,880
Let's check in with what's happening with Ukraine

1682
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:20,700
and with Russia.

1683
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,920
I would say it's always good to start

1684
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,200
it off with a little bit of our

1685
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:25,500
buddy.

1686
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,200
Yes, I know you've been waiting for it.

1687
01:01:27,900 --> 01:01:28,340
Rita?

1688
01:01:28,700 --> 01:01:30,180
Because, you know, he's trying to keep it

1689
01:01:30,180 --> 01:01:30,980
all together there.

1690
01:01:31,020 --> 01:01:33,780
He's trying to keep everybody in line, which

1691
01:01:33,780 --> 01:01:36,780
means he's trying to help President Trump get

1692
01:01:36,780 --> 01:01:39,740
the trilat together, or at least a bilat,

1693
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:41,760
which seems kind of improbable now.

1694
01:01:42,340 --> 01:01:43,820
But he's also trying to keep all the

1695
01:01:43,820 --> 01:01:47,440
Europeans happy and trying to keep Zelensky happy,

1696
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,520
and he's talking out of his butthole.

1697
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:55,540
Clearly, Ukraine and NATO, the US, Europe, Ukraine,

1698
01:01:55,700 --> 01:01:58,320
NATO, we are all working extremely well together.

1699
01:01:58,560 --> 01:01:59,080
Oh, really?

1700
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,300
We are working perfectly together.

1701
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,640
As I mentioned, we have, jointly with Ukraine,

1702
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,540
an organization in Poland to capture all the

1703
01:02:08,540 --> 01:02:08,820
lessons.

1704
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:10,440
Oh, we capture all the lessons.

1705
01:02:10,700 --> 01:02:11,900
We are documenting it.

1706
01:02:12,020 --> 01:02:13,940
We're taking copious notes of what happened.

1707
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:15,620
From this terrible war.

1708
01:02:15,940 --> 01:02:16,460
Terrible, terrible war.

1709
01:02:16,540 --> 01:02:18,680
And to understand what it means for all

1710
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,940
the NATO plans in the future, for Ukraine

1711
01:02:20,940 --> 01:02:22,340
itself, for the build-up of its armed

1712
01:02:22,340 --> 01:02:24,300
forces in the future, what lessons we can

1713
01:02:24,300 --> 01:02:24,520
learn.

1714
01:02:24,860 --> 01:02:26,660
We have to command in Wiesbaden.

1715
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:27,780
How about this?

1716
01:02:27,900 --> 01:02:29,120
Don't poke the bear.

1717
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,500
From which we organized together with Ukraine all

1718
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:35,160
the support for Ukraine in this war from

1719
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:35,980
NATO allies.

1720
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:36,580
Here we go.

1721
01:02:36,660 --> 01:02:37,400
What is this support?

1722
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,060
We are heavily involved in making sure that

1723
01:02:41,060 --> 01:02:44,920
the Ukrainian armed forces, also longer term, will

1724
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,640
be as interoperable as possible of the highest

1725
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,980
standards compared with NATO.

1726
01:02:50,220 --> 01:02:53,500
This is a sales talk, which means interoperable

1727
01:02:53,500 --> 01:02:55,860
means you can only have our NATO bullets

1728
01:02:55,860 --> 01:02:56,440
and weapons.

1729
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,340
We have the comprehensive assistance package.

1730
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,780
We have this new initiative, thanks to President

1731
01:03:02,780 --> 01:03:03,200
Trump.

1732
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:04,620
Ah, buy our stuff.

1733
01:03:05,500 --> 01:03:09,740
By buying from American stockpiles from the US

1734
01:03:09,740 --> 01:03:12,320
military lethal weapons and of course air defense

1735
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,740
systems and interceptors to be paid for by

1736
01:03:15,740 --> 01:03:17,920
the Europeans directly being delivered to Ukraine.

1737
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:18,440
So NATO...

1738
01:03:20,460 --> 01:03:22,440
So, it's a great system.

1739
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,400
America sells it to Europe.

1740
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,520
Europe pays for it, but it goes straight

1741
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:27,080
to Ukraine.

1742
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:28,260
It's dynamite, people.

1743
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:32,540
What?

1744
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:41,220
An irreversible path for Ukraine into NATO?

1745
01:03:41,380 --> 01:03:42,220
That can't be true.

1746
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,820
So, don't worry.

1747
01:03:58,940 --> 01:04:00,080
You're going to get into NATO.

1748
01:04:00,300 --> 01:04:01,220
It's all going to happen.

1749
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,200
Not now, maybe never, but we put a

1750
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:05,400
little NATO flag here.

1751
01:04:05,460 --> 01:04:05,840
You're coming.

1752
01:04:06,100 --> 01:04:07,380
It'll be good.

1753
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:09,740
My word.

1754
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:17,080
So, here is France 24.

1755
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,740
Hopes are dim for the Putin-Zelensky Peace

1756
01:04:20,740 --> 01:04:21,000
Summit.

1757
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,000
And nowhere in sight, the Ukrainian President Zelensky

1758
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:28,960
is saying Russia doesn't want that.

1759
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,040
He spoke as he met with NATO Chief

1760
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,620
Mark Rutter to talk about security guarantees for

1761
01:04:33,620 --> 01:04:34,100
Ukraine.

1762
01:04:34,420 --> 01:04:36,140
The Russians will try to do something else

1763
01:04:36,140 --> 01:04:37,500
now to avoid a meeting.

1764
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:40,260
The issue is not just the meeting.

1765
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:41,900
The issue is that they don't want to

1766
01:04:41,900 --> 01:04:42,340
end the war.

1767
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,600
A bilateral meeting is one of the components

1768
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:45,700
of how to end the war.

1769
01:04:46,020 --> 01:04:48,800
We're going to see if Putin and Zelensky

1770
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,640
will be working together.

1771
01:04:50,980 --> 01:04:52,840
It's like oil and vinegar, a little bit.

1772
01:04:53,220 --> 01:04:54,920
President Trump on Friday said in the Oval

1773
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:56,580
Office that the next two weeks would be

1774
01:04:56,580 --> 01:04:56,920
crucial.

1775
01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:58,480
What are the two ways you can go

1776
01:04:58,480 --> 01:04:59,480
at the end of two weeks then?

1777
01:05:00,020 --> 01:05:01,180
Well, then I'm going to make a decision

1778
01:05:01,180 --> 01:05:02,120
as to what we do.

1779
01:05:02,500 --> 01:05:05,240
And it's going to be a very important

1780
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:05,720
decision.

1781
01:05:06,300 --> 01:05:08,680
And that's whether or not it's massive sanctions

1782
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:12,720
or massive tariffs or both, or do we

1783
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:14,900
do nothing and say it's your fight?

1784
01:05:16,100 --> 01:05:19,080
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, meanwhile, said in

1785
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:20,760
an interview to U.S. media that there

1786
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:22,860
would be no Putin-Zelensky meeting because a

1787
01:05:22,860 --> 01:05:24,580
presidential agenda had not been set.

1788
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:26,960
And this agenda is not ready at all.

1789
01:05:28,860 --> 01:05:32,300
So, clearly the Europeans are telling Zelensky to

1790
01:05:32,300 --> 01:05:33,660
chill out.

1791
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,740
And the unthinkable has happened.

1792
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,460
President Trump has said, you know, I don't

1793
01:05:38,460 --> 01:05:41,320
think we'll give those nutjobs any lethal weapons,

1794
01:05:41,460 --> 01:05:45,000
any long-range weapons right now because that

1795
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:46,760
could turn out really bad for the whole

1796
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:47,440
process.

1797
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,680
Which, as we know, is only about President

1798
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,440
Trump wanting a Nobel Peace Prize.

1799
01:05:51,540 --> 01:05:53,180
That's what this ultimately is all about.

1800
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:54,140
We all know that.

1801
01:05:54,620 --> 01:05:56,600
So, let's listen to Jonathan Karl again on

1802
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:57,440
ABC this week.

1803
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,620
By the way, with General Petraeus.

1804
01:06:01,340 --> 01:06:02,700
So, when they pull a guy like that

1805
01:06:02,700 --> 01:06:05,740
out, I'm thinking military-industrial complex is worried

1806
01:06:05,740 --> 01:06:07,300
about the current status.

1807
01:06:07,540 --> 01:06:09,880
Let me get to something else that President

1808
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:11,240
Trump said this week.

1809
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,100
This is a post on social media.

1810
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,200
He wrote, in part, it is very hard,

1811
01:06:16,260 --> 01:06:18,160
if not impossible, to win a war without

1812
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:19,820
attacking an invader's country.

1813
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:21,840
It's like a great team in sports that

1814
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,480
has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed

1815
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:25,160
to play offense.

1816
01:06:25,220 --> 01:06:26,680
There is no chance of winning.

1817
01:06:26,940 --> 01:06:28,760
It is like that with Ukraine and Russia.

1818
01:06:29,140 --> 01:06:31,660
He went on to say that it was

1819
01:06:31,660 --> 01:06:36,580
Biden that wouldn't let Zelensky, wouldn't let Ukraine

1820
01:06:36,580 --> 01:06:38,380
attack into Russia.

1821
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,540
First of all, what's your take on what

1822
01:06:42,540 --> 01:06:44,440
the President was intending to say there?

1823
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:47,960
It's a very valid observation.

1824
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,420
It's spot on, and interestingly, as we learned

1825
01:06:51,420 --> 01:06:53,760
in a story overnight, it's contrary to the

1826
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:54,660
Pentagon policy.

1827
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:56,760
This is another case where it appears that

1828
01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:01,360
the Pentagon is carrying out policies that conflict

1829
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,000
with President Trump's inclination.

1830
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:04,800
Now, I can understand why they would limit

1831
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:08,020
the use of certain long-range systems against

1832
01:07:08,020 --> 01:07:10,200
Russia when they think that Russia might still

1833
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,460
be willing to make a deal, but that

1834
01:07:12,460 --> 01:07:14,240
should be very clear not to be the

1835
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:16,300
case at this moment, and I hope that

1836
01:07:16,300 --> 01:07:17,860
there will be a review of that policy.

1837
01:07:18,020 --> 01:07:20,560
Indeed, that was exactly what the Biden administration

1838
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:21,420
did in the past.

1839
01:07:21,540 --> 01:07:24,980
They were overly sensitive endlessly about how Russia

1840
01:07:24,980 --> 01:07:27,220
might react to something that they provide to

1841
01:07:27,220 --> 01:07:29,140
Ukraine, and they were restricting the use of

1842
01:07:29,140 --> 01:07:31,840
the Army Technical Missile System and others.

1843
01:07:32,140 --> 01:07:33,700
I hope that that will get a review

1844
01:07:33,700 --> 01:07:36,000
in the White House and therefore a change

1845
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:36,780
in the Pentagon.

1846
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,380
Yeah, we've got to kill some Russians, man.

1847
01:07:39,900 --> 01:07:40,420
Come on.

1848
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,280
We need long-range stuff.

1849
01:07:42,380 --> 01:07:43,260
Get it going, brother.

1850
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,280
This is a Wall Street Journal report overnight

1851
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,660
you're referring to saying that the Pentagon has

1852
01:07:47,660 --> 01:07:50,840
been blocking Ukraine's use of those long-range

1853
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,220
missiles inside Russian territory.

1854
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:57,240
Obviously, the Ukrainian military has been using drone

1855
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,480
attacks which are far less lethal.

1856
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,620
But let me get your sense of the

1857
01:08:03,620 --> 01:08:06,000
human cost of this war because I know

1858
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,440
this is something you've spoken about, and I

1859
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:08,940
find- Listen to these numbers.

1860
01:08:09,500 --> 01:08:10,100
Astounding.

1861
01:08:11,100 --> 01:08:14,620
Upwards of 20,000 just on the Russian

1862
01:08:14,620 --> 01:08:18,020
side getting killed every month.

1863
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:19,760
In a matter of just a few months,

1864
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:23,000
a greater death toll than the entire U

1865
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,240
.S. death toll in the Vietnam War.

1866
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,180
I mean, it's kind of hard to imagine.

1867
01:08:28,939 --> 01:08:30,560
It's staggering, Jonathan.

1868
01:08:30,779 --> 01:08:34,540
Again, as someone who had five combat commands

1869
01:08:34,540 --> 01:08:37,000
as a general officer and wrote letters of

1870
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,520
condolence to America's mothers and fathers almost every

1871
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,000
single night of those commands.

1872
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,220
He's not talking about Vietnam.

1873
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,840
He's talking about Iraq, I guess?

1874
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:48,840
I don't know what he's talking about.

1875
01:08:49,260 --> 01:08:52,580
I like the way they talk about generalities.

1876
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:54,479
They should mention that the numbers that killed

1877
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:55,960
in Vietnam were 50,000.

1878
01:08:56,260 --> 01:08:56,740
It's a number.

1879
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:58,080
Everyone knows what it is.

1880
01:08:58,819 --> 01:09:00,040
It's not a huge number.

1881
01:09:00,140 --> 01:09:01,319
It's not like a massive number.

1882
01:09:01,420 --> 01:09:03,100
It's not like 20,000 a month.

1883
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:05,700
It's staggering, Jonathan.

1884
01:09:05,899 --> 01:09:09,660
Again, as someone who had five combat commands

1885
01:09:09,660 --> 01:09:12,140
as a general officer and wrote letters of

1886
01:09:12,140 --> 01:09:14,680
condolence to America's mothers and fathers almost every

1887
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,660
single night of those commands, I can't fathom,

1888
01:09:18,060 --> 01:09:21,740
I can't process, if you will, understand the

1889
01:09:21,740 --> 01:09:24,120
magnitude of the losses on the Russian side.

1890
01:09:24,279 --> 01:09:28,720
It's now estimated that over 1,060,000

1891
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,920
Russians have been killed or wounded in this

1892
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:32,260
war.

1893
01:09:32,700 --> 01:09:36,399
Of those, well over 500,000 have been

1894
01:09:36,399 --> 01:09:38,700
so seriously wounded or killed that they couldn't

1895
01:09:38,700 --> 01:09:39,960
even return to the front lines.

1896
01:09:40,060 --> 01:09:41,640
This has to have, over time- I

1897
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:45,420
think the dead in the 500,000 number

1898
01:09:45,420 --> 01:09:47,060
probably couldn't return to the front line.

1899
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:48,040
Yeah, I didn't think so.

1900
01:09:48,260 --> 01:09:51,920
A very, very substantial impact on the ability

1901
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,020
of Russia just to find a civilian workforce

1902
01:09:54,020 --> 01:09:54,720
as well.

1903
01:09:55,020 --> 01:09:57,040
In fact, it's reported that they were actually

1904
01:09:57,040 --> 01:10:00,000
looking in Africa for women who can actually

1905
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,700
replace some of the men in Russia in

1906
01:10:02,700 --> 01:10:03,680
various industries.

1907
01:10:04,340 --> 01:10:06,120
And of course we've seen they've also tapped

1908
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:10,500
North Korean military soldiers fighting on the ground

1909
01:10:10,500 --> 01:10:11,600
in Ukraine, quite extraordinary.

1910
01:10:11,940 --> 01:10:14,580
And again, you have to go to Telegram

1911
01:10:14,580 --> 01:10:16,980
to see pretty much any of this death

1912
01:10:16,980 --> 01:10:20,760
and devastation and destruction of soldiers on both

1913
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:21,260
sides.

1914
01:10:21,420 --> 01:10:23,060
The Ukrainian numbers are staggering.

1915
01:10:24,380 --> 01:10:28,200
It's just noteworthy, again, that the M5M never

1916
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,020
shows any of this.

1917
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:31,000
Ever.

1918
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:32,600
Ever.

1919
01:10:33,820 --> 01:10:34,700
Why is that?

1920
01:10:35,480 --> 01:10:37,480
Is that because we don't want to disrupt

1921
01:10:37,480 --> 01:10:38,460
the arms sales?

1922
01:10:39,300 --> 01:10:40,840
Is that part of it?

1923
01:10:41,060 --> 01:10:41,160
Boom.

1924
01:10:41,540 --> 01:10:42,540
What do you think?

1925
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,080
That would be the only reason I can

1926
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:45,640
think of.

1927
01:10:46,260 --> 01:10:48,020
Yeah, well, that's a pretty good reason.

1928
01:10:48,300 --> 01:10:50,440
We don't want people actually outraged about this

1929
01:10:50,440 --> 01:10:50,700
war.

1930
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:51,580
We don't want that.

1931
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,540
No, in fact, we want, according to Petraeus,

1932
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:56,380
we want to send some deep missiles into

1933
01:10:56,380 --> 01:10:58,140
Russia to make it worse.

1934
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,500
Yeah, because that's a great idea.

1935
01:11:01,260 --> 01:11:04,240
And then just to add some more humor

1936
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,060
on top of it all, we have some

1937
01:11:06,060 --> 01:11:07,900
arrests in the pipeline bombing.

1938
01:11:08,220 --> 01:11:10,080
Yeah, it's the sailboat guys again.

1939
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:11,940
This is what it looked like in the

1940
01:11:11,940 --> 01:11:15,040
Baltic Sea in September of 2022 following an

1941
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,220
international act of sabotage.

1942
01:11:17,540 --> 01:11:19,760
Gas bubbling up from the Nord Stream 1

1943
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:23,100
and 2 pipelines, results of a well-coordinated

1944
01:11:23,100 --> 01:11:23,720
attack.

1945
01:11:24,460 --> 01:11:27,080
On Thursday, almost three years later, authorities in

1946
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:28,620
Germany announced an arrest.

1947
01:11:30,260 --> 01:11:33,620
After three years of meticulous detective work, it's

1948
01:11:33,620 --> 01:11:36,260
truly an impressive investigative success.

1949
01:11:38,060 --> 01:11:40,900
The explosions were so powerful they registered as

1950
01:11:40,900 --> 01:11:43,860
seismic activity along the gas pipelines which run

1951
01:11:43,860 --> 01:11:46,460
from Russia to Germany and came just months

1952
01:11:46,460 --> 01:11:49,180
after Russia launched its full scale war against

1953
01:11:49,180 --> 01:11:49,720
Ukraine.

1954
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:53,720
German prosecutors identified the suspect as Serhii K,

1955
01:11:53,980 --> 01:11:56,460
a Ukrainian national, saying he had been taken

1956
01:11:56,460 --> 01:11:59,240
into custody in a seaside resort on Italy's

1957
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:00,040
east coast.

1958
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:05,200
Investigators say the suspect helped coordinate the bombing,

1959
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:07,960
carried out by divers who charted a sailboat

1960
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,740
from a German port using fake IDs and

1961
01:12:10,740 --> 01:12:14,400
licenses and planted explosive devices along the underwater

1962
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:15,100
pipelines.

1963
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,180
The pipelines were not operational at the time.

1964
01:12:18,440 --> 01:12:21,280
Because of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, Germany refused

1965
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,080
to use Nord Stream 2, and Russia itself

1966
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:26,080
had cut off gas from Nord Stream 1

1967
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,220
in apparent retaliation for Europe's support for Kiev.

1968
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:31,880
Ukraine has denied any involvement in the act

1969
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,480
of sabotage, and despite the nationality of the

1970
01:12:34,480 --> 01:12:38,680
suspect, German prosecutors said the arrest demonstrated continued

1971
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:39,820
support for Ukraine.

1972
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:43,240
We stand with Ukraine and we will continue

1973
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:44,280
to stand with Ukraine.

1974
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:46,260
What is important to me is that we

1975
01:12:46,260 --> 01:12:47,920
are a country governed by the rule of

1976
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,800
law, and that we thoroughly investigate crimes committed

1977
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:51,280
within...

1978
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:51,480
Huh?

1979
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:54,320
I'm sorry, I just laugh when they always

1980
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,260
throw in the rule of law thing.

1981
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:57,620
Well, yeah, but it's Ukraine...

1982
01:12:57,620 --> 01:12:58,460
Cross it in there.

1983
01:12:58,620 --> 01:13:01,640
It's Ukrainians they arrested, there's another Ukrainian they're

1984
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:01,980
going to arrest.

1985
01:13:02,020 --> 01:13:04,060
But we stand behind Ukraine, because they don't,

1986
01:13:04,480 --> 01:13:05,620
you know, I'm sure they were just...

1987
01:13:05,620 --> 01:13:06,640
Because they're good guys.

1988
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:07,920
Rogue elements, yes.

1989
01:13:07,940 --> 01:13:08,700
Support for Ukraine.

1990
01:13:09,660 --> 01:13:12,120
We stand with Ukraine, and we will continue

1991
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:13,180
to stand with Ukraine.

1992
01:13:13,180 --> 01:13:15,140
What is important to me is that we

1993
01:13:15,140 --> 01:13:16,800
are a country governed by the rule of

1994
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,680
law, and that we thoroughly investigate crimes committed

1995
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:20,980
within our jurisdiction.

1996
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:24,660
German prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for

1997
01:13:24,660 --> 01:13:27,020
another Ukrainian man last seen in Poland.

1998
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:29,460
The suspect in custody is expected to be

1999
01:13:29,460 --> 01:13:32,280
transferred to Germany to face criminal charges, and

2000
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:33,700
possibly a trial.

2001
01:13:34,300 --> 01:13:36,220
By the way, for this whole conflict, I

2002
01:13:36,220 --> 01:13:38,540
think the obvious solution, if you want to

2003
01:13:38,540 --> 01:13:41,980
reduce the deaths and the killing, just send

2004
01:13:41,980 --> 01:13:43,640
in the DC police, they can bring it

2005
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:44,580
down by 30%.

2006
01:13:44,580 --> 01:13:45,460
Those guys are awesome.

2007
01:13:45,660 --> 01:13:46,120
Yeah, overnight.

2008
01:13:47,820 --> 01:13:50,000
And the Chicago police, they'll take care of

2009
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:50,260
it.

2010
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:51,780
Yeah.

2011
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:55,620
So, that's what's going on there.

2012
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:57,660
Yeah, so that's going nowhere.

2013
01:13:58,160 --> 01:13:58,500
No.

2014
01:13:58,780 --> 01:14:00,420
Did we really expect it to go anywhere?

2015
01:14:00,540 --> 01:14:01,560
They don't want it to stop.

2016
01:14:01,780 --> 01:14:02,660
They don't want it to stop.

2017
01:14:02,660 --> 01:14:04,600
No, and we also have the Chinese that

2018
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:05,600
would like to see it continue.

2019
01:14:05,740 --> 01:14:07,100
I don't know why they'd want it...

2020
01:14:07,100 --> 01:14:09,000
The more I think about that theory, which

2021
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,220
was on the last show, the guy going

2022
01:14:11,220 --> 01:14:15,300
on about China, is that I don't know

2023
01:14:15,300 --> 01:14:18,260
if the Chinese really want us, the US,

2024
01:14:18,480 --> 01:14:22,080
to be ramping up our military systems to

2025
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:25,240
the point where we can get to overproduction,

2026
01:14:25,740 --> 01:14:27,760
because somebody else is paying for it, we're

2027
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:31,500
not giving it away anymore, and making it

2028
01:14:31,500 --> 01:14:32,080
profitable.

2029
01:14:33,460 --> 01:14:35,040
I don't know if that's such a good

2030
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:36,020
idea for them.

2031
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:37,600
No.

2032
01:14:38,060 --> 01:14:40,620
Well, in general, war is always good for

2033
01:14:40,620 --> 01:14:42,360
somebody, just usually not the people.

2034
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:45,680
No, of course not, because they always get

2035
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:46,140
killed.

2036
01:14:46,900 --> 01:14:49,400
It's the downside of wars, people get killed.

2037
01:14:49,580 --> 01:14:50,060
A lot.

2038
01:14:50,580 --> 01:14:52,060
Did I have anything else on that?

2039
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:53,480
I had...

2040
01:14:54,440 --> 01:14:56,600
Yeah, it was interesting, there was a Russian,

2041
01:14:56,820 --> 01:15:00,140
there was a lot of reporting in foreign

2042
01:15:00,140 --> 01:15:02,340
publications, but it went nowhere here.

2043
01:15:03,020 --> 01:15:05,900
Russian strike hits US-owned factory.

2044
01:15:06,420 --> 01:15:08,060
Did you even hear about this?

2045
01:15:08,380 --> 01:15:10,060
No, I didn't even hear about this.

2046
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:11,960
Well, so that's the headline, but when you

2047
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:16,560
dive into it, it's a Singaporean American multinational

2048
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:20,140
that makes toasters and other stuff, and they

2049
01:15:20,140 --> 01:15:24,440
have a factory in Ukraine, cheap labor, obviously,

2050
01:15:25,300 --> 01:15:28,440
and something hit one of their factories.

2051
01:15:29,020 --> 01:15:30,140
No one was killed.

2052
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:31,720
I don't think anyone was even hurt.

2053
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:36,780
But they really, the European press really tried

2054
01:15:36,780 --> 01:15:38,320
to ramp that up, but for some reason

2055
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:39,140
it didn't go anywhere.

2056
01:15:40,780 --> 01:15:43,320
Zelensky even talked about, last night, Russian armor

2057
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,340
set one of its insane anti-records.

2058
01:15:45,380 --> 01:15:47,540
They targeted civilian infrastructure facilities.

2059
01:15:48,580 --> 01:15:50,960
American-owned enterprise Zakoparita.

2060
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:53,640
Yeah.

2061
01:15:54,180 --> 01:15:56,020
Supported by American investment.

2062
01:15:56,460 --> 01:15:56,640
Okay.

2063
01:15:57,660 --> 01:15:58,820
They make toasters.

2064
01:15:58,820 --> 01:16:00,840
Yeah, that's what they make.

2065
01:16:00,940 --> 01:16:01,840
I looked into it.

2066
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:02,560
They make toasters.

2067
01:16:03,180 --> 01:16:04,520
No one cares about that.

2068
01:16:04,780 --> 01:16:05,240
Toasters.

2069
01:16:08,770 --> 01:16:10,450
This is an interesting clip.

2070
01:16:10,570 --> 01:16:12,930
This is about, we can switch topics, I

2071
01:16:12,930 --> 01:16:13,170
think.

2072
01:16:13,270 --> 01:16:13,670
Yeah, sure.

2073
01:16:14,310 --> 01:16:16,670
Because I have nothing on the Ukraine thing.

2074
01:16:16,670 --> 01:16:19,270
I do have some Gaza stuff that might

2075
01:16:19,270 --> 01:16:20,590
be worth talking about.

2076
01:16:20,750 --> 01:16:21,270
Okay.

2077
01:16:21,810 --> 01:16:23,150
It's Gaza 1 PBS.

2078
01:16:23,810 --> 01:16:26,090
It's been another deadly day in Gaza.

2079
01:16:26,590 --> 01:16:30,910
Officials there say at least 33 people have

2080
01:16:30,910 --> 01:16:33,350
been killed by Israeli strikes and shootings.

2081
01:16:33,630 --> 01:16:34,090
That's right.

2082
01:16:34,270 --> 01:16:37,310
Ignore the hundreds of thousands in Russia and

2083
01:16:37,310 --> 01:16:37,690
Ukraine.

2084
01:16:37,950 --> 01:16:39,190
Ignore that 33.

2085
01:16:39,750 --> 01:16:42,570
Well, I thought that once I heard the

2086
01:16:42,570 --> 01:16:45,830
33, I said, okay, so this report is

2087
01:16:45,830 --> 01:16:47,930
somewhat, this has to be bogus as a

2088
01:16:47,930 --> 01:16:48,310
signal.

2089
01:16:50,470 --> 01:16:54,950
33, okay, our thesis is that there's something

2090
01:16:54,950 --> 01:16:56,650
up every time this comes up.

2091
01:16:56,710 --> 01:16:57,930
The signal has gone out.

2092
01:16:57,930 --> 01:17:00,850
Yes, the signal has gone out, yes.

2093
01:17:00,970 --> 01:17:04,030
I took the rest of the report kind

2094
01:17:04,030 --> 01:17:07,650
of like, okay, what are they getting at

2095
01:17:07,650 --> 01:17:07,870
here?

2096
01:17:07,910 --> 01:17:08,350
Here we go.

2097
01:17:08,470 --> 01:17:11,430
Among them were Palestinians who were sheltering in

2098
01:17:11,430 --> 01:17:13,650
tents and who were seeking scarce food.

2099
01:17:14,170 --> 01:17:16,330
It comes a day after a UN backed

2100
01:17:16,330 --> 01:17:19,290
group that monitors food crises declared that a

2101
01:17:19,290 --> 01:17:21,930
half million Palestinians living in the Gaza City

2102
01:17:21,930 --> 01:17:24,190
area are in the grips of a potentially

2103
01:17:24,190 --> 01:17:26,590
life-threatening man-made famine.

2104
01:17:27,310 --> 01:17:30,370
What's more, the group, the Integrated Food Security

2105
01:17:30,370 --> 01:17:34,530
Phase Classification, or IPC, projects that by the

2106
01:17:34,530 --> 01:17:37,370
end of September, famine will spread to much

2107
01:17:37,370 --> 01:17:38,410
of the rest of Gaza.

2108
01:17:39,110 --> 01:17:42,770
Earlier, I spoke with Chris McIntosh, Oxfam's humanitarian

2109
01:17:42,770 --> 01:17:44,430
response advisor in Gaza.

2110
01:17:44,790 --> 01:17:45,870
He's in Gaza City.

2111
01:17:46,790 --> 01:17:48,810
Right now in Gaza, what we're seeing is

2112
01:17:48,810 --> 01:17:51,190
exactly what we were predicting for months, ever

2113
01:17:51,190 --> 01:17:52,950
since the imposition of the blockade at the

2114
01:17:52,950 --> 01:17:53,810
beginning of March.

2115
01:17:54,430 --> 01:17:58,370
And in that time, very few trucks have

2116
01:17:58,370 --> 01:18:01,350
gotten in, very limited amounts of food.

2117
01:18:01,530 --> 01:18:03,570
So what we're seeing is people that are

2118
01:18:03,570 --> 01:18:07,010
gaunt, people that are drawn in the face,

2119
01:18:07,170 --> 01:18:07,830
and they're bony.

2120
01:18:09,390 --> 01:18:13,230
Without trying to downplay the devastation in Gaza,

2121
01:18:13,710 --> 01:18:14,750
this is bullcrap.

2122
01:18:14,870 --> 01:18:16,990
This is one of the most corrupt organizations

2123
01:18:16,990 --> 01:18:19,390
in the world, Oxfam, with the UN.

2124
01:18:20,210 --> 01:18:22,170
Where's the White Helmets who are going to

2125
01:18:22,170 --> 01:18:23,170
stage something?

2126
01:18:23,270 --> 01:18:23,770
That's coming.

2127
01:18:24,210 --> 01:18:25,250
Oh, it has to be coming.

2128
01:18:25,330 --> 01:18:26,350
They've already been trying it.

2129
01:18:26,390 --> 01:18:27,870
They've been trying it with all kinds of

2130
01:18:27,870 --> 01:18:31,330
photos, and oh, look at this child starving

2131
01:18:31,330 --> 01:18:31,930
to death.

2132
01:18:32,650 --> 01:18:35,270
So we have here, this PBS, this is

2133
01:18:35,270 --> 01:18:38,410
from yesterday, actually, and they have the Oxfam

2134
01:18:38,410 --> 01:18:40,190
guy, and there's nobody that's going to be

2135
01:18:40,190 --> 01:18:42,090
on the other side of this discussion, by

2136
01:18:42,090 --> 01:18:42,370
the way.

2137
01:18:42,370 --> 01:18:46,750
As usual, PBS and NPR, one-sided discussion

2138
01:18:46,750 --> 01:18:50,430
with a point of view that's expressed, and

2139
01:18:50,430 --> 01:18:53,090
no matter what you do, it's expressed and

2140
01:18:53,090 --> 01:18:54,190
expressed and expressed.

2141
01:18:55,070 --> 01:18:59,450
And this kind of contradicts the photos we've

2142
01:18:59,450 --> 01:19:01,030
seen of the trucks that are backed up

2143
01:19:01,030 --> 01:19:02,830
that the UN won't let in.

2144
01:19:03,370 --> 01:19:04,990
The UN's got something to do with the

2145
01:19:04,990 --> 01:19:06,790
famine, but they're not going to talk about

2146
01:19:06,790 --> 01:19:07,090
that.

2147
01:19:07,390 --> 01:19:09,690
This whole thing, that's why the 33 was

2148
01:19:09,690 --> 01:19:11,950
a trigger for me, because I can't believe

2149
01:19:11,950 --> 01:19:16,190
anything anybody's telling us about Gaza or anything,

2150
01:19:17,110 --> 01:19:17,210
really.

2151
01:19:17,510 --> 01:19:19,150
Or, well, anything in general, but this in

2152
01:19:19,150 --> 01:19:24,110
particular is very sketchy in every way, and

2153
01:19:24,110 --> 01:19:26,090
so now we have the third clip, which

2154
01:19:26,090 --> 01:19:28,070
is, this goes on, this guy's on, by

2155
01:19:28,070 --> 01:19:29,630
the way, for 20 minutes.

2156
01:19:31,510 --> 01:19:32,670
Wait, wait.

2157
01:19:33,210 --> 01:19:34,970
So he's on for 20 minutes yakking away

2158
01:19:34,970 --> 01:19:36,250
about one thing or another, so they finally

2159
01:19:36,250 --> 01:19:38,450
throw in a little counter-argument to see

2160
01:19:38,450 --> 01:19:38,950
what happens.

2161
01:19:39,150 --> 01:19:41,150
They don't bring anybody else on to debate

2162
01:19:41,150 --> 01:19:43,050
him or say anything about it, and so

2163
01:19:43,050 --> 01:19:45,410
this is the way it ends up.

2164
01:19:45,610 --> 01:19:48,130
Prime Minister Netanyahu called the report an outright

2165
01:19:48,130 --> 01:19:48,710
lie.

2166
01:19:49,090 --> 01:19:51,270
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said,

2167
01:19:51,730 --> 01:19:54,450
tons of food has gone into Gaza, but

2168
01:19:54,450 --> 01:19:57,650
Hamas savages stole it, ate lots of it

2169
01:19:57,650 --> 01:20:00,390
to become corpulent, sold it on the black

2170
01:20:00,390 --> 01:20:00,750
market.

2171
01:20:00,910 --> 01:20:01,650
What do you say to that?

2172
01:20:02,350 --> 01:20:03,970
I say that couldn't be further from the

2173
01:20:03,970 --> 01:20:04,530
truth, John.

2174
01:20:05,010 --> 01:20:07,210
And just to use basic metrics to get

2175
01:20:07,210 --> 01:20:10,190
the point across here, prior to the blockade

2176
01:20:10,190 --> 01:20:11,990
being imposed at the beginning of March, there

2177
01:20:11,990 --> 01:20:14,430
were approximately 600 trucks being brought into Gaza

2178
01:20:14,430 --> 01:20:17,250
every day, and now we're looking at one

2179
01:20:17,250 --> 01:20:18,130
-sixth of that.

2180
01:20:19,290 --> 01:20:19,850
Okay.

2181
01:20:20,610 --> 01:20:22,330
Is that what he's looking at, or did

2182
01:20:22,330 --> 01:20:22,930
he count?

2183
01:20:23,830 --> 01:20:25,770
Ten trucks a day is what he says.

2184
01:20:26,630 --> 01:20:30,370
So this is kind of, what bothers me

2185
01:20:30,370 --> 01:20:32,530
about this, this is bad reporting.

2186
01:20:32,910 --> 01:20:35,170
You can't bring an Oxfam guy in to

2187
01:20:35,170 --> 01:20:38,430
just say whatever propaganda he wants to say.

2188
01:20:38,430 --> 01:20:39,230
Well, he wants money.

2189
01:20:39,370 --> 01:20:40,730
It's fundraising for Oxfam.

2190
01:20:40,730 --> 01:20:43,330
Yeah, it's a fundraiser, but why does PBS

2191
01:20:43,330 --> 01:20:44,810
do this?

2192
01:20:45,050 --> 01:20:46,430
Why don't they have some...

2193
01:20:46,990 --> 01:20:50,910
Give the public what they supposedly they're supposed

2194
01:20:50,910 --> 01:20:53,710
to do, which is a balanced report, and

2195
01:20:53,710 --> 01:20:56,310
put somebody on that says the opposite.

2196
01:20:56,730 --> 01:20:59,390
Because they know that they'll get lots of

2197
01:20:59,390 --> 01:21:02,530
coverage on that podcast, which is the only

2198
01:21:02,530 --> 01:21:04,710
coverage they get is when you bring up

2199
01:21:04,710 --> 01:21:05,310
their clips.

2200
01:21:06,370 --> 01:21:08,870
Let's check out the UN, because they have

2201
01:21:08,870 --> 01:21:11,210
their own agenda, and they're pushing it very

2202
01:21:11,210 --> 01:21:11,570
hard.

2203
01:21:35,310 --> 01:21:38,470
Instead, it risks undermining security and fuels further

2204
01:21:38,470 --> 01:21:41,530
violence and instability, taking us further away from

2205
01:21:41,530 --> 01:21:41,910
peace.

2206
01:21:42,210 --> 01:21:44,250
The plan seeks to build over 3,000

2207
01:21:44,250 --> 01:21:45,550
homes for Israeli settlers.

2208
01:21:45,990 --> 01:21:48,030
All such settlements built in the West Bank,

2209
01:21:48,170 --> 01:21:52,050
occupied since 1967, are considered illegal under international

2210
01:21:52,050 --> 01:21:54,010
law, and this is no exception.

2211
01:21:54,430 --> 01:21:56,250
Calls to scrap the plans were echoed by

2212
01:21:56,250 --> 01:21:57,490
the UN Secretary-General.

2213
01:21:57,610 --> 01:22:01,710
The decision by the Israeli authorities to expand

2214
01:22:01,710 --> 01:22:06,010
illegal settlement construction, which would divide the West

2215
01:22:06,010 --> 01:22:07,870
Bank, must be reversed.

2216
01:22:08,670 --> 01:22:12,730
All settlement construction is a violation of international

2217
01:22:12,730 --> 01:22:13,490
law.

2218
01:22:13,890 --> 01:22:16,490
The project, known as E1, would effectively block

2219
01:22:16,490 --> 01:22:18,470
the establishment of a Palestinian state.

2220
01:22:18,590 --> 01:22:20,190
It would cut the north of the West

2221
01:22:20,190 --> 01:22:22,550
Bank off from the south, preventing the development

2222
01:22:22,550 --> 01:22:25,270
in the center connecting Ramallah, East Jerusalem, and

2223
01:22:25,270 --> 01:22:25,770
Bethlehem.

2224
01:22:26,070 --> 01:22:28,250
This is the goal of the ultranationalist finance

2225
01:22:28,250 --> 01:22:29,690
minister, Bezalel Smotrich.

2226
01:22:29,830 --> 01:22:32,150
He's the driving force of this project, and

2227
01:22:32,150 --> 01:22:34,810
is urging the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu,

2228
01:22:35,050 --> 01:22:37,050
to formally annex the West Bank.

2229
01:22:37,370 --> 01:22:39,170
Yeah, it's going to be nasty there.

2230
01:22:39,270 --> 01:22:40,610
It's going to be nasty for a while

2231
01:22:40,610 --> 01:22:41,010
longer.

2232
01:22:41,610 --> 01:22:42,970
And then you've got all these countries saying,

2233
01:22:43,070 --> 01:22:44,470
oh, we have to have a Palestinian state.

2234
01:22:44,550 --> 01:22:45,350
We recognize it.

2235
01:22:45,630 --> 01:22:46,690
We recognize it.

2236
01:22:47,870 --> 01:22:49,290
Where were they in 1967?

2237
01:22:52,330 --> 01:22:55,170
I would say that the Israelis...

2238
01:22:55,990 --> 01:22:58,870
I think there's a propaganda war between the

2239
01:22:58,870 --> 01:23:03,150
left and the queers for Palestine, which is

2240
01:23:03,150 --> 01:23:03,890
part of the left.

2241
01:23:05,390 --> 01:23:07,590
And the Israelis...

2242
01:23:08,550 --> 01:23:11,790
And the Israelis are losing the propaganda war.

2243
01:23:11,970 --> 01:23:14,950
They're doing a piss-poor job of promoting

2244
01:23:14,950 --> 01:23:16,490
their position.

2245
01:23:17,410 --> 01:23:17,770
Agreed.

2246
01:23:19,250 --> 01:23:22,050
And I see no resolution to this.

2247
01:23:22,150 --> 01:23:24,310
I mean, everybody's taking the side of the

2248
01:23:24,310 --> 01:23:26,230
Hamas side, basically.

2249
01:23:26,390 --> 01:23:29,010
But what I don't understand is they run

2250
01:23:29,010 --> 01:23:29,490
the media.

2251
01:23:29,730 --> 01:23:31,110
How come they can't do a better job?

2252
01:23:31,290 --> 01:23:31,390
Yeah.

2253
01:23:31,710 --> 01:23:34,970
It just proves that they don't run the

2254
01:23:34,970 --> 01:23:35,270
media.

2255
01:23:35,490 --> 01:23:37,350
They should be doing a much better job.

2256
01:23:37,790 --> 01:23:38,710
Yeah, they do a better job.

2257
01:23:38,750 --> 01:23:39,590
They don't run the media.

2258
01:23:39,710 --> 01:23:40,370
That's a joke.

2259
01:23:40,510 --> 01:23:43,830
They have some influence, maybe.

2260
01:23:43,950 --> 01:23:45,090
I don't even know if they have that.

2261
01:23:45,390 --> 01:23:47,010
They don't run Hollywood anymore, really.

2262
01:23:47,250 --> 01:23:48,630
Not like in the good old days in

2263
01:23:48,630 --> 01:23:49,330
the 30s.

2264
01:23:49,550 --> 01:23:49,770
No.

2265
01:23:50,650 --> 01:23:52,850
When you had all these characters that were

2266
01:23:52,850 --> 01:23:53,590
all Jewish.

2267
01:23:54,510 --> 01:23:55,730
They gave that up.

2268
01:23:56,510 --> 01:23:57,610
No, it's a mess.

2269
01:23:57,750 --> 01:23:59,930
And the Israelis have nobody to blame but

2270
01:23:59,930 --> 01:24:00,270
themselves.

2271
01:24:00,790 --> 01:24:03,210
They could have taken this a lot of

2272
01:24:03,210 --> 01:24:05,050
different ways and they could have propagandized it

2273
01:24:05,050 --> 01:24:05,310
better.

2274
01:24:06,670 --> 01:24:07,930
And like some people say, why don't they

2275
01:24:07,930 --> 01:24:11,670
release the footage of the brutality of that

2276
01:24:12,410 --> 01:24:13,270
October 8th...

2277
01:24:14,750 --> 01:24:15,230
7th.

2278
01:24:16,730 --> 01:24:17,690
7th invasion.

2279
01:24:18,350 --> 01:24:18,990
Well, they have.

2280
01:24:19,530 --> 01:24:21,350
But it won't get shown anywhere.

2281
01:24:21,610 --> 01:24:25,170
Remember the the Toronto International Film Festival.

2282
01:24:25,170 --> 01:24:28,950
They blocked the documentary saying that they could

2283
01:24:28,950 --> 01:24:33,170
not show this documentary at the Toronto Film

2284
01:24:33,170 --> 01:24:37,030
Festival unless the makers of the documentary got

2285
01:24:37,030 --> 01:24:40,250
permission from the Palestinians to use their likeness.

2286
01:24:41,910 --> 01:24:44,630
Another victory for the Palestinians.

2287
01:24:45,010 --> 01:24:45,310
Yes.

2288
01:24:46,630 --> 01:24:48,310
I thought that was a funny one.

2289
01:24:48,430 --> 01:24:49,650
That's an interesting way to do it.

2290
01:24:51,230 --> 01:24:53,190
A little bit of climate change.

2291
01:24:54,270 --> 01:24:55,990
At first I thought, wow, this is interesting.

2292
01:24:56,090 --> 01:24:56,870
This is good news.

2293
01:24:57,310 --> 01:25:01,730
Egypt has found a sunken city that's been

2294
01:25:01,730 --> 01:25:04,850
covered for 2,000 years.

2295
01:25:06,190 --> 01:25:07,870
But then they have to take it into

2296
01:25:07,870 --> 01:25:09,270
a negative direction for me.

2297
01:25:09,570 --> 01:25:12,490
A statue is hoisted from the Mediterranean as

2298
01:25:12,490 --> 01:25:16,130
Egyptian archaeologists and divers work together to recover

2299
01:25:16,130 --> 01:25:18,530
relics from the seabed in Alexandria.

2300
01:25:20,790 --> 01:25:23,170
Unfortunately, we have incomplete pieces.

2301
01:25:23,670 --> 01:25:25,130
The head is missing, or the leg.

2302
01:25:25,650 --> 01:25:27,270
And we also found a statue of a

2303
01:25:27,270 --> 01:25:29,810
sphinx and another statue that appears to be

2304
01:25:29,810 --> 01:25:30,730
a royal dress.

2305
01:25:31,070 --> 01:25:33,290
Archaeologists say the relics were found at the

2306
01:25:33,290 --> 01:25:35,350
site of a sunken city in the waters

2307
01:25:35,350 --> 01:25:37,430
of Abu Qir Bay, which may have been

2308
01:25:37,430 --> 01:25:39,770
an extension of the ancient city of Canopa,

2309
01:25:39,990 --> 01:25:43,070
a prominent center during the Ptolemaic dynasty and

2310
01:25:43,070 --> 01:25:44,010
the Roman Empire.

2311
01:25:44,250 --> 01:25:46,670
Their contract with UNESCO means they're only extracting

2312
01:25:46,670 --> 01:25:48,490
some of the artifacts from the ruins.

2313
01:25:49,010 --> 01:25:50,890
The rest will remain in the depths.

2314
01:25:52,170 --> 01:25:54,030
This find confirms that this place was a

2315
01:25:54,030 --> 01:25:55,250
complete residential city.

2316
01:25:55,750 --> 01:25:57,250
The part we are in was a port.

2317
01:25:57,550 --> 01:25:59,990
These artifacts confirm the study that says that

2318
01:25:59,990 --> 01:26:02,610
Alexandria was submerged by water as a result

2319
01:26:02,610 --> 01:26:04,870
of a major earthquake or tsunami.

2320
01:26:05,430 --> 01:26:07,190
This is why all the statues are missing

2321
01:26:07,190 --> 01:26:09,310
the head and feet, which are the weakest

2322
01:26:09,310 --> 01:26:10,690
parts of the statue.

2323
01:26:11,250 --> 01:26:14,410
Alexandria is home to countless historic treasures, but

2324
01:26:14,410 --> 01:26:16,610
Egypt's second city is at risk of succumbing

2325
01:26:16,610 --> 01:26:18,650
to the same waters that claimed Canopus.

2326
01:26:19,230 --> 01:26:21,830
The city is especially vulnerable to climate change,

2327
01:26:21,990 --> 01:26:24,770
climate change, climate change, and rising sea levels,

2328
01:26:25,030 --> 01:26:27,830
sinking by more than three millimeters every year.

2329
01:26:27,870 --> 01:26:30,630
There it is, climate change, climate change.

2330
01:26:30,850 --> 01:26:32,850
Yep, we turned something good into something very

2331
01:26:32,850 --> 01:26:33,270
negative.

2332
01:26:33,610 --> 01:26:35,770
Let's take something negative and make it even

2333
01:26:35,770 --> 01:26:36,130
worse.

2334
01:26:36,510 --> 01:26:38,770
How about flesh-eating bacteria?

2335
01:26:40,170 --> 01:26:43,970
Flesh-eating bacteria is spreading to more beaches.

2336
01:26:44,250 --> 01:26:47,630
The Vibrio vulnificus bacteria is usually found in

2337
01:26:47,630 --> 01:26:49,650
beaches along the Gulf Coast, but the eastern

2338
01:26:49,650 --> 01:26:52,090
seaboard is now seeing an uptick in cases.

2339
01:26:52,490 --> 01:26:54,630
Experts think climate change is helping the germs

2340
01:26:54,630 --> 01:26:55,370
spread north.

2341
01:26:55,630 --> 01:26:57,990
Eating undercooked shellfish is one way to get

2342
01:26:57,990 --> 01:26:58,410
infected.

2343
01:26:58,850 --> 01:27:01,070
Another is through cuts, including...

2344
01:27:01,070 --> 01:27:04,710
Yes, climate change or eating uncooked shellfish.

2345
01:27:04,930 --> 01:27:05,270
Okay.

2346
01:27:05,570 --> 01:27:06,950
...is one way to get infected.

2347
01:27:07,330 --> 01:27:10,770
Another is through cuts, including from ear piercings

2348
01:27:10,770 --> 01:27:11,990
and tattoos.

2349
01:27:12,310 --> 01:27:16,190
Multiple surgeries, sometimes even amputation, is necessary to

2350
01:27:16,190 --> 01:27:17,270
treat an infection.

2351
01:27:17,530 --> 01:27:19,650
They had to do ten surgeries on my

2352
01:27:19,650 --> 01:27:22,210
leg, and then I had to learn to

2353
01:27:22,210 --> 01:27:22,790
walk again.

2354
01:27:22,950 --> 01:27:27,810
Cooking your seafood thoroughly, avoiding eating undercooked or

2355
01:27:27,810 --> 01:27:31,410
raw shellfish, and avoiding the waters that contain

2356
01:27:31,410 --> 01:27:35,410
this organism are really paramount to preventing infections.

2357
01:27:35,650 --> 01:27:38,370
Most infections are typically reported from May to

2358
01:27:38,370 --> 01:27:38,990
October.

2359
01:27:39,170 --> 01:27:40,870
A push to place warning signs at beaches

2360
01:27:40,870 --> 01:27:43,510
with the most risk was thwarted by businesses

2361
01:27:43,510 --> 01:27:46,170
who feared they'd lose money if tourists were

2362
01:27:46,170 --> 01:27:47,030
scared away.

2363
01:27:47,170 --> 01:27:49,710
This report was very confusing to me.

2364
01:27:50,210 --> 01:27:52,170
Well, I'll tell you one thing I'm confused

2365
01:27:52,170 --> 01:27:54,830
about immediately is this is a flesh-eating

2366
01:27:54,830 --> 01:27:57,710
bacteria that you get into an open sore

2367
01:27:57,710 --> 01:27:59,470
and it goes nuts.

2368
01:27:59,890 --> 01:28:02,250
What's that got to do with eating raw...

2369
01:28:02,250 --> 01:28:03,690
Yes, that's my point.

2370
01:28:03,930 --> 01:28:05,130
Are you going to get it in your

2371
01:28:05,130 --> 01:28:05,510
stomach?

2372
01:28:05,750 --> 01:28:06,610
I mean, what is that?

2373
01:28:06,690 --> 01:28:07,750
It doesn't make any sense.

2374
01:28:07,970 --> 01:28:09,750
Well, the two people they had on, and

2375
01:28:09,750 --> 01:28:11,750
it was pretty horrific, the guy's leg looked

2376
01:28:11,750 --> 01:28:13,150
like it was just a disaster.

2377
01:28:15,550 --> 01:28:19,910
They're talking about don't eat uncooked shellfish, but

2378
01:28:19,910 --> 01:28:22,050
the whole report was, oh, the beach and

2379
01:28:22,050 --> 01:28:23,830
the bad people who don't want to talk

2380
01:28:23,830 --> 01:28:24,750
about it on the beach.

2381
01:28:25,470 --> 01:28:25,570
Ah!

2382
01:28:26,170 --> 01:28:28,330
And have you heard about the radioactive shrimp?

2383
01:28:29,890 --> 01:28:32,750
I have heard about the radioactive shrimp, and

2384
01:28:32,750 --> 01:28:34,270
they're selling it at Walmart.

2385
01:28:35,170 --> 01:28:36,150
Yes, they are.

2386
01:28:36,490 --> 01:28:37,230
Or they were.

2387
01:28:37,790 --> 01:28:42,290
Apparently irradiated with cesium-137.

2388
01:28:42,410 --> 01:28:45,010
The FDA issuing a warning about more possible

2389
01:28:45,010 --> 01:28:46,450
radioactive shrimp.

2390
01:28:46,650 --> 01:28:48,730
The shrimp was sold under several brand names

2391
01:28:48,730 --> 01:28:50,990
in nine states by a company called Southwind

2392
01:28:50,990 --> 01:28:51,490
Foods.

2393
01:28:51,930 --> 01:28:54,070
The only Midwest state affected is Minnesota.

2394
01:28:54,370 --> 01:28:56,690
Those shrimp were all sold between July 17th

2395
01:28:56,690 --> 01:28:57,510
and August 8th.

2396
01:28:57,570 --> 01:28:59,450
Customers should throw out the shrimp or return

2397
01:28:59,450 --> 01:29:00,630
to the store for a refund.

2398
01:29:00,770 --> 01:29:02,430
So far, no one's gotten sick, but it

2399
01:29:02,430 --> 01:29:06,130
comes just days after Walmart's Great Value brand

2400
01:29:06,130 --> 01:29:08,730
frozen shrimp was recalled for that same reason.

2401
01:29:09,010 --> 01:29:11,990
So, nowhere, not a single report, because they

2402
01:29:11,990 --> 01:29:13,450
come out of, I think, Indonesia.

2403
01:29:14,350 --> 01:29:17,670
How did the shrimp get radiation?

2404
01:29:19,870 --> 01:29:20,830
It's like...

2405
01:29:20,830 --> 01:29:22,430
Surely they asked the question.

2406
01:29:22,710 --> 01:29:22,890
No!

2407
01:29:23,190 --> 01:29:23,670
Nowhere!

2408
01:29:23,930 --> 01:29:27,330
ABC, George Stephanopoulos, everyone, oh, don't eat the

2409
01:29:27,330 --> 01:29:28,970
shrimp, it's cesium-137.

2410
01:29:29,110 --> 01:29:31,670
Where does cesium-137 come from?

2411
01:29:32,630 --> 01:29:35,330
It's obviously a byproduct of something.

2412
01:29:35,810 --> 01:29:38,050
It's not like caches of it that I

2413
01:29:38,050 --> 01:29:38,530
know of.

2414
01:29:38,570 --> 01:29:39,210
Let's take a look.

2415
01:29:39,510 --> 01:29:41,150
Go ask your buddy there.

2416
01:29:41,290 --> 01:29:42,210
Very good point.

2417
01:29:42,290 --> 01:29:43,670
I will ask my buddy right now.

2418
01:29:43,990 --> 01:29:46,650
Where does cesium-137 come from?

2419
01:29:49,570 --> 01:29:52,090
Easy-137 comes from Psalm 137.

2420
01:29:52,690 --> 01:29:53,990
Not easy-137.

2421
01:29:55,450 --> 01:29:56,550
What is she saying?

2422
01:29:56,570 --> 01:29:58,210
She said easy-137.

2423
01:29:58,210 --> 01:29:58,850
No, no, no.

2424
01:29:59,510 --> 01:30:00,670
It's a song?

2425
01:30:01,130 --> 01:30:02,910
Cesium-137.

2426
01:30:03,250 --> 01:30:04,250
It's radiation.

2427
01:30:04,450 --> 01:30:05,630
Where does that come from?

2428
01:30:07,310 --> 01:30:10,370
Cesium-137 is mostly a byproduct of nuclear

2429
01:30:10,370 --> 01:30:12,650
fission, so you'd find it coming from nuclear

2430
01:30:12,650 --> 01:30:15,070
reactors when uranium or plutonium splits.

2431
01:30:15,590 --> 01:30:18,150
It's also released during nuclear weapons testing or

2432
01:30:18,150 --> 01:30:20,430
accidents, like Chernobyl or Fukushima.

2433
01:30:21,130 --> 01:30:24,310
Naturally, it's super rare, basically nonexistent in the

2434
01:30:24,310 --> 01:30:25,750
environment without human activity.

2435
01:30:25,750 --> 01:30:29,230
It's a radioactive isotope emits beta and gamma

2436
01:30:29,230 --> 01:30:31,550
radiation and has a half-life of about

2437
01:30:31,550 --> 01:30:32,250
30 years.

2438
01:30:32,530 --> 01:30:34,170
That's why it's a big deal in waste

2439
01:30:34,170 --> 01:30:35,410
management and contamination.

2440
01:30:35,930 --> 01:30:36,970
There you go.

2441
01:30:38,350 --> 01:30:40,930
So it's from some reactor someplace that's leaking.

2442
01:30:41,430 --> 01:30:42,290
In Indonesia?

2443
01:30:44,110 --> 01:30:44,450
Hmm.

2444
01:30:46,270 --> 01:30:46,970
Where did it come from?

2445
01:30:47,010 --> 01:30:47,410
Thailand?

2446
01:30:47,830 --> 01:30:50,150
I don't think they're using nuclear power there.

2447
01:30:50,270 --> 01:30:52,390
But that's what bothers me about the report.

2448
01:30:52,470 --> 01:30:54,490
This could be out of the Fukushima area.

2449
01:30:54,830 --> 01:30:57,830
It could also just be a competitor launching

2450
01:30:57,830 --> 01:30:59,110
something into the atmosphere.

2451
01:30:59,370 --> 01:31:00,150
We don't know.

2452
01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:03,480
We just don't know.

2453
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:05,440
Well, shrimp.

2454
01:31:06,380 --> 01:31:07,100
I know.

2455
01:31:07,320 --> 01:31:08,740
That's why if you looked at the tip

2456
01:31:08,740 --> 01:31:10,260
of the day, you'd find that little Geiger

2457
01:31:10,260 --> 01:31:10,620
counter.

2458
01:31:10,820 --> 01:31:12,060
I would take that to the store.

2459
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:13,560
And check my shrimp.

2460
01:31:14,180 --> 01:31:15,880
Check the shrimp before you buy it.

2461
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:19,340
Scan your shrimp, people.

2462
01:31:19,940 --> 01:31:21,240
And I like the way they say what

2463
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:22,720
hasn't caused anyone to get ill.

2464
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:29,280
If you ingest a radioactive substance like that,

2465
01:31:29,540 --> 01:31:32,360
it kills you over time.

2466
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:34,100
It's nothing that you get ill about.

2467
01:31:34,340 --> 01:31:35,920
It makes you glow in the dark, but

2468
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:36,620
you'll be okay.

2469
01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:38,820
Glowing in the dark is a giveaway.

2470
01:31:41,610 --> 01:31:42,550
We do know.

2471
01:31:43,910 --> 01:31:45,210
This is good news.

2472
01:31:46,130 --> 01:31:49,510
We now know for sure that President Trump

2473
01:31:49,510 --> 01:31:51,510
did nothing bad with Epstein.

2474
01:31:52,470 --> 01:31:55,870
We have proof because Ghislaine said so.

2475
01:31:56,150 --> 01:31:59,650
Buried inside more than 300 pages from interviews

2476
01:31:59,650 --> 01:32:03,350
conducted last month, Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former

2477
01:32:03,350 --> 01:32:07,170
girlfriend of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, clears U

2478
01:32:07,170 --> 01:32:09,910
.S. President Donald Trump of any involvement.

2479
01:32:10,330 --> 01:32:13,070
I never saw the President in any type

2480
01:32:13,070 --> 01:32:13,850
of massage setting.

2481
01:32:14,290 --> 01:32:17,050
I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate

2482
01:32:17,050 --> 01:32:18,470
setting in any way.

2483
01:32:18,710 --> 01:32:21,910
The President was never inappropriate with anybody in

2484
01:32:21,910 --> 01:32:24,250
the time that I was with him, he

2485
01:32:24,250 --> 01:32:26,110
was a gentleman in all respects.

2486
01:32:26,630 --> 01:32:29,470
The interview conducted by Deputy Attorney General Todd

2487
01:32:29,470 --> 01:32:32,290
Blanche was released Friday in the quote, interest

2488
01:32:32,290 --> 01:32:33,410
of transparency.

2489
01:32:33,790 --> 01:32:37,790
The materials show Maxwell Epstein's longtime associate repeatedly

2490
01:32:37,790 --> 01:32:40,370
showering Trump with praise, denying that she had

2491
01:32:40,370 --> 01:32:42,890
observed him engaged in any form of sexual

2492
01:32:42,890 --> 01:32:43,430
behavior.

2493
01:32:43,710 --> 01:32:47,150
Have you ever observed President Trump receive a

2494
01:32:47,150 --> 01:32:47,390
massage?

2495
01:32:47,790 --> 01:32:47,950
Never.

2496
01:32:48,170 --> 01:32:50,650
The timing of the release raises questions.

2497
01:32:50,930 --> 01:32:53,530
The administration had been scrambling to present itself

2498
01:32:53,530 --> 01:32:56,850
as transparent amid a fierce backlash over an

2499
01:32:56,850 --> 01:32:59,390
early refusal to disclose records from the sex

2500
01:32:59,390 --> 01:33:00,370
trafficking case.

2501
01:33:00,670 --> 01:33:04,010
The way this administration has responded makes it

2502
01:33:04,010 --> 01:33:05,170
feel like a cover up.

2503
01:33:05,410 --> 01:33:08,070
The case has drawn intense public scrutiny because

2504
01:33:08,070 --> 01:33:11,010
of Epstein's ties to high profile figures including

2505
01:33:11,010 --> 01:33:13,630
Prince Andrew and former U.S. President Bill

2506
01:33:13,630 --> 01:33:14,050
Clinton.

2507
01:33:14,230 --> 01:33:17,090
In the transcripts, Maxwell denied seeing Clinton act

2508
01:33:17,090 --> 01:33:20,270
inappropriately, and she also spoke glowingly of Prince

2509
01:33:20,270 --> 01:33:20,610
Andrew.

2510
01:33:20,870 --> 01:33:23,010
After the interview, Maxwell was moved to a

2511
01:33:23,010 --> 01:33:25,110
minimum security prison camp in Texas.

2512
01:33:25,630 --> 01:33:27,470
There she continues to serve a 20-year

2513
01:33:27,470 --> 01:33:30,490
sentence, convicted four years ago on allegations that

2514
01:33:30,490 --> 01:33:32,950
she lured team girls to be sexually abused

2515
01:33:32,950 --> 01:33:33,670
by Epstein.

2516
01:33:34,130 --> 01:33:35,350
Nah, didn't see anything.

2517
01:33:35,490 --> 01:33:39,190
Not with Clinton, not with Prince Andrew, not

2518
01:33:39,190 --> 01:33:40,050
with President Trump.

2519
01:33:40,130 --> 01:33:40,490
There's nothing.

2520
01:33:41,310 --> 01:33:42,070
It's all good.

2521
01:33:42,990 --> 01:33:44,450
Yeah, of course that brought up nothing but

2522
01:33:44,450 --> 01:33:46,710
speculators that say, yeah, she's just trying to

2523
01:33:46,710 --> 01:33:49,150
get a pardon or a clemency or some

2524
01:33:49,150 --> 01:33:49,710
damn thing.

2525
01:33:49,790 --> 01:33:50,450
She's lying.

2526
01:33:50,650 --> 01:33:51,370
She's a liar.

2527
01:33:51,590 --> 01:33:52,730
But it would have been better if she

2528
01:33:52,730 --> 01:33:54,630
said, oh, I saw some stuff with Bill

2529
01:33:54,630 --> 01:33:57,010
Clinton or, well, you know, Prince Andrew, but

2530
01:33:57,010 --> 01:33:57,670
she didn't.

2531
01:33:58,390 --> 01:34:01,430
So that's what makes it interesting and somewhat

2532
01:34:01,430 --> 01:34:02,450
laughable to me.

2533
01:34:04,350 --> 01:34:04,670
I mean...

2534
01:34:04,670 --> 01:34:06,330
She let everyone off the hook.

2535
01:34:06,470 --> 01:34:08,830
Yeah, Prince Andrew, we know that he was

2536
01:34:08,830 --> 01:34:09,590
up to no good.

2537
01:34:11,370 --> 01:34:11,670
I mean...

2538
01:34:11,670 --> 01:34:13,010
Well, maybe she didn't notice.

2539
01:34:13,010 --> 01:34:15,430
I mean, there's also the women who were

2540
01:34:15,430 --> 01:34:17,530
the ones that pointed the finger at her.

2541
01:34:18,030 --> 01:34:19,870
So she was the real bad actor in

2542
01:34:19,870 --> 01:34:20,510
this whole thing.

2543
01:34:20,590 --> 01:34:22,090
She was the one that recruited all the

2544
01:34:22,090 --> 01:34:22,510
girls.

2545
01:34:23,890 --> 01:34:24,770
So I don't know.

2546
01:34:25,190 --> 01:34:25,950
Well, we don't know.

2547
01:34:26,130 --> 01:34:26,750
That's it.

2548
01:34:26,830 --> 01:34:27,850
Nobody knows nothing.

2549
01:34:28,050 --> 01:34:29,270
Nobody knows nothing.

2550
01:34:29,430 --> 01:34:30,390
That's exactly right.

2551
01:34:32,030 --> 01:34:34,270
But we could do a 10-hour podcast

2552
01:34:34,270 --> 01:34:36,450
about it like everybody else is doing.

2553
01:34:37,130 --> 01:34:38,970
Yeah, well, I think that you have that

2554
01:34:38,970 --> 01:34:41,070
clip, I have one clip that's even shorter

2555
01:34:41,070 --> 01:34:44,070
and probably useless by comparison, so we'll skip

2556
01:34:44,070 --> 01:34:44,230
it.

2557
01:34:44,330 --> 01:34:46,230
That's how we're going to do it.

2558
01:34:46,430 --> 01:34:47,130
Oh, come on.

2559
01:34:47,170 --> 01:34:47,670
It's PBS.

2560
01:34:48,010 --> 01:34:49,030
We might as well.

2561
01:34:49,370 --> 01:34:50,090
All right, play it.

2562
01:34:50,590 --> 01:34:52,570
President Trump supporters say he's been cleared of

2563
01:34:52,570 --> 01:34:55,190
any suspicion by the transcript and recording of

2564
01:34:55,190 --> 01:34:56,310
Ghislaine Maxwell's interview.

2565
01:34:56,310 --> 01:34:56,550
Wait a minute.

2566
01:34:56,690 --> 01:34:57,970
President Trump supporters?

2567
01:34:58,370 --> 01:35:00,310
Is there a rally somewhere that I missed?

2568
01:35:01,270 --> 01:35:02,490
Like, Trump is innocent.

2569
01:35:02,890 --> 01:35:03,990
Hey, hey, ho, ho.

2570
01:35:04,150 --> 01:35:04,950
Trump is innocent.

2571
01:35:05,170 --> 01:35:06,190
Let Maxwell go.

2572
01:35:06,550 --> 01:35:08,730
President Trump supporters say he's been cleared of

2573
01:35:08,730 --> 01:35:11,330
any suspicion by the transcript and recording of

2574
01:35:11,330 --> 01:35:13,910
Ghislaine Maxwell's interview with the Deputy Attorney General.

2575
01:35:14,450 --> 01:35:17,190
The woman who was Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend characterized

2576
01:35:17,190 --> 01:35:19,710
the president, a one-time friend of Epstein's,

2577
01:35:19,750 --> 01:35:22,230
as a gentleman and said she never saw

2578
01:35:22,230 --> 01:35:24,750
him engage in any kind of sexual misconduct.

2579
01:35:25,010 --> 01:35:27,630
President Trump was always very cordial and very

2580
01:35:27,630 --> 01:35:28,530
kind to me.

2581
01:35:29,130 --> 01:35:31,290
And I just want to say that I

2582
01:35:31,290 --> 01:35:37,330
find, I admire his extraordinary achievement in becoming

2583
01:35:37,330 --> 01:35:38,090
the president now.

2584
01:35:38,530 --> 01:35:39,630
And I like him.

2585
01:35:40,210 --> 01:35:41,070
And I've always liked him.

2586
01:35:42,170 --> 01:35:43,850
That is the sum and substance of my

2587
01:35:43,850 --> 01:35:45,250
entire relationship with him.

2588
01:35:46,270 --> 01:35:48,910
Shortly after the interview, Maxwell, who's serving a

2589
01:35:48,910 --> 01:35:51,770
20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, was

2590
01:35:51,770 --> 01:35:54,810
transferred to a minimum security prison camp.

2591
01:35:55,290 --> 01:35:56,970
She's seeking a presidential pardon.

2592
01:35:58,630 --> 01:35:59,390
You're right.

2593
01:36:00,530 --> 01:36:02,410
Just as nonsense as mine.

2594
01:36:02,470 --> 01:36:02,950
Isn't that good?

2595
01:36:02,950 --> 01:36:04,690
Yeah, this is going to be the end.

2596
01:36:04,770 --> 01:36:05,830
Well, they're going to release a bunch of

2597
01:36:05,830 --> 01:36:06,990
documents now or something.

2598
01:36:07,130 --> 01:36:10,170
Oh, they released 30,000 documents and the

2599
01:36:10,170 --> 01:36:13,710
Democrats are saying, hey, we've already seen these

2600
01:36:13,710 --> 01:36:14,370
documents.

2601
01:36:15,550 --> 01:36:19,710
They've probably got binders that said, Epstein files.

2602
01:36:21,470 --> 01:36:22,510
White binder.

2603
01:36:22,970 --> 01:36:24,830
Yeah, we're not going to know anything.

2604
01:36:25,010 --> 01:36:27,570
Yeah, that white binder was the worst.

2605
01:36:28,550 --> 01:36:31,350
So there's somewhat of a discussion they're trying

2606
01:36:31,350 --> 01:36:34,370
to make a headway with and PBS, of

2607
01:36:34,370 --> 01:36:36,690
course, is pushing back on it because they

2608
01:36:36,690 --> 01:36:39,550
are big supporters of the idea of mail

2609
01:36:39,550 --> 01:36:40,170
-in ballots.

2610
01:36:40,370 --> 01:36:43,330
I got a three-part clip here because

2611
01:36:43,330 --> 01:36:46,650
Trump has turned against mail-in ballots for

2612
01:36:46,650 --> 01:36:48,310
obvious reasons because this has to do with

2613
01:36:48,310 --> 01:36:50,770
2020 and his false claims.

2614
01:36:54,430 --> 01:36:58,810
This is going to be interesting because this

2615
01:36:58,810 --> 01:37:01,850
actually does reveal the fact that Trump really

2616
01:37:01,850 --> 01:37:04,310
can't do too much without Congress's help here.

2617
01:37:05,390 --> 01:37:07,990
With control of Congress at stake in next

2618
01:37:07,990 --> 01:37:11,250
year's midterm elections, President Trump is doubling down

2619
01:37:11,250 --> 01:37:13,130
on efforts to end mail-in voting.

2620
01:37:13,670 --> 01:37:16,510
In the 2024 election, nearly 30% of

2621
01:37:16,510 --> 01:37:18,550
Americans who cast their ballots did it by

2622
01:37:18,550 --> 01:37:18,890
mail.

2623
01:37:19,570 --> 01:37:22,370
Despite a multi-million dollar Republican drive to

2624
01:37:22,370 --> 01:37:24,730
encourage supporters to vote by mail last year,

2625
01:37:25,110 --> 01:37:26,870
the president says it's a fraud.

2626
01:37:26,870 --> 01:37:29,210
We as a Republican party are going to

2627
01:37:29,210 --> 01:37:32,150
do everything possible that we get rid of

2628
01:37:32,150 --> 01:37:32,830
mail-in ballots.

2629
01:37:32,950 --> 01:37:34,590
We're going to start with an executive order

2630
01:37:34,590 --> 01:37:36,390
that's being written right now by the best

2631
01:37:36,390 --> 01:37:39,290
lawyers in the country to end mail-in

2632
01:37:39,290 --> 01:37:41,310
ballots because they're corrupt.

2633
01:37:41,710 --> 01:37:44,150
He also said that the United States is

2634
01:37:44,150 --> 01:37:46,350
just about the only country in the world

2635
01:37:46,350 --> 01:37:47,130
that uses them.

2636
01:37:47,770 --> 01:37:49,510
Rick Hasen is a professor of law and

2637
01:37:49,510 --> 01:37:50,750
political science at UCLA.

2638
01:37:51,090 --> 01:37:53,350
He's also the author of A Real Right

2639
01:37:53,350 --> 01:37:56,350
to Vote, How a Constitutional Amendment Can Safeguard

2640
01:37:56,350 --> 01:37:57,310
American Democracy.

2641
01:37:57,610 --> 01:37:59,090
Rick, I want to begin by parsing some

2642
01:37:59,090 --> 01:38:00,330
of what we just heard from the president.

2643
01:38:00,830 --> 01:38:02,550
He says that just about the only country

2644
01:38:02,550 --> 01:38:03,850
in the world that uses them is the

2645
01:38:03,850 --> 01:38:04,470
United States.

2646
01:38:04,570 --> 01:38:05,010
Is that true?

2647
01:38:05,630 --> 01:38:06,310
No, it's not true.

2648
01:38:06,430 --> 01:38:08,550
It's used around the world and lots of

2649
01:38:08,550 --> 01:38:10,730
other democracies, including in Canada and the United

2650
01:38:10,730 --> 01:38:11,670
Kingdom and Germany.

2651
01:38:12,110 --> 01:38:13,590
He says he's going to issue an executive

2652
01:38:13,590 --> 01:38:15,550
order to end mail-in ballots.

2653
01:38:15,670 --> 01:38:16,730
Is that within his powers?

2654
01:38:17,010 --> 01:38:17,650
So, no.

2655
01:38:18,070 --> 01:38:19,950
First of all, an executive order is an

2656
01:38:19,950 --> 01:38:22,050
order to the executive branch as to how

2657
01:38:22,050 --> 01:38:23,150
to carry out the laws.

2658
01:38:23,150 --> 01:38:24,470
It's not a royal edict.

2659
01:38:24,650 --> 01:38:26,570
You can't just decree that we don't have

2660
01:38:27,150 --> 01:38:28,390
mail-in balloting anymore.

2661
01:38:29,010 --> 01:38:32,310
The Constitution says that each state gets to

2662
01:38:32,310 --> 01:38:34,210
set its own rules for running elections.

2663
01:38:34,950 --> 01:38:37,750
In Article I, Section 4, it lets Congress

2664
01:38:37,750 --> 01:38:41,050
override those rules as to congressional elections.

2665
01:38:41,650 --> 01:38:43,770
Congress also sometimes acts under its powers, for

2666
01:38:43,770 --> 01:38:45,950
example, to enforce the 15th Amendment to bar

2667
01:38:45,950 --> 01:38:47,210
race discrimination in voting.

2668
01:38:47,750 --> 01:38:50,270
The president's job is to take care that

2669
01:38:50,270 --> 01:38:52,870
the laws passed by Congress are faithfully executed.

2670
01:38:53,450 --> 01:38:55,130
So, he's got a lot of powers in

2671
01:38:55,130 --> 01:38:57,490
terms of how the federal government might interact

2672
01:38:57,490 --> 01:38:59,870
with states, but it's primarily states that are

2673
01:38:59,870 --> 01:39:02,030
running elections, and he has no direct authority

2674
01:39:02,030 --> 01:39:04,790
over how elections are going to be conducted.

2675
01:39:05,570 --> 01:39:07,570
Well, that was a poor reading of Article

2676
01:39:07,570 --> 01:39:10,970
I, Section 4, but as far as I'm

2677
01:39:10,970 --> 01:39:13,750
concerned, the states have the authority to regulate

2678
01:39:13,750 --> 01:39:16,370
times, places and manner of elections.

2679
01:39:16,650 --> 01:39:18,450
I don't see how even Congress can do

2680
01:39:18,450 --> 01:39:18,790
anything.

2681
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:23,060
Well, he goes on and explains how they

2682
01:39:23,060 --> 01:39:23,520
can.

2683
01:39:23,940 --> 01:39:25,760
Well, that counters what he said on Truth

2684
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:26,220
Social.

2685
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:29,020
He said the states are merely an agent

2686
01:39:29,020 --> 01:39:31,540
for the federal government in counting and tabulating

2687
01:39:31,540 --> 01:39:31,980
the votes.

2688
01:39:32,500 --> 01:39:34,800
They must do what the federal government as

2689
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:37,180
represented by the president of the United States

2690
01:39:37,180 --> 01:39:38,140
tells them.

2691
01:39:38,460 --> 01:39:39,200
That's just a fiction.

2692
01:39:39,620 --> 01:39:41,260
That's not how things work.

2693
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:45,200
The Constitution does say that Congress can override.

2694
01:39:45,460 --> 01:39:48,000
So, if Congress passed a law tomorrow that

2695
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,680
either outlawed or mandated mail-in balloting, that

2696
01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:53,940
law would probably be upheld as applied to

2697
01:39:53,940 --> 01:39:55,180
congressional elections.

2698
01:39:55,340 --> 01:39:57,400
Couldn't be applied to state or local elections

2699
01:39:57,400 --> 01:39:59,620
because the power only extends to congressional elections.

2700
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:01,560
But the president doesn't have the power.

2701
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:03,640
States are more than agents.

2702
01:40:04,260 --> 01:40:06,280
States, and this goes back to the founding,

2703
01:40:06,940 --> 01:40:10,720
states were the primary actors that administered elections.

2704
01:40:10,880 --> 01:40:13,460
There wasn't agreement to have national election administration

2705
01:40:13,460 --> 01:40:15,400
the way it is in most other countries

2706
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:16,040
today.

2707
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:20,300
And that diversity of how elections are run,

2708
01:40:20,480 --> 01:40:23,940
it makes for some confusion sometimes, but it

2709
01:40:23,940 --> 01:40:25,860
can be a strength against an executive that's

2710
01:40:25,860 --> 01:40:28,060
trying to impose its will, as we see

2711
01:40:28,060 --> 01:40:29,400
the president trying to do here.

2712
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:32,020
He says he's doing this because he wants

2713
01:40:32,020 --> 01:40:33,680
to make sure there's no fraud.

2714
01:40:34,340 --> 01:40:36,460
We've had a long experience with mail-in

2715
01:40:36,460 --> 01:40:38,160
ballots in Oregon for about 25 years.

2716
01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:39,480
It's the only way you can vote.

2717
01:40:39,980 --> 01:40:44,140
What's the record of fraud and corruption in

2718
01:40:44,140 --> 01:40:44,680
these things?

2719
01:40:45,100 --> 01:40:48,300
You're right that there are some states including

2720
01:40:48,300 --> 01:40:53,220
Oregon, Washington, Utah, and lots of where mail

2721
01:40:53,220 --> 01:40:56,080
-in balloting is the primary way that voting

2722
01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:56,600
is conducted.

2723
01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:58,300
There are lots of states like California where

2724
01:40:58,300 --> 01:41:00,980
I am, where many people vote by mail.

2725
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:02,960
There are some states where mail-in balloting

2726
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:04,580
is not all that common.

2727
01:41:05,140 --> 01:41:07,400
It did increase during COVID because people didn't

2728
01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:08,600
want to go to polling places.

2729
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:11,040
What we do know is that the president

2730
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:13,000
in 2020 in the midst of the COVID

2731
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:15,700
pandemic when he was running against Joe Biden

2732
01:41:15,700 --> 01:41:18,640
railed against mail-in balloting, said that it

2733
01:41:18,640 --> 01:41:19,220
was fraudulent.

2734
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:20,780
There were tons of investigations.

2735
01:41:21,480 --> 01:41:24,600
There were 60 plus lawsuits challenging the election

2736
01:41:24,600 --> 01:41:26,800
on fraud grounds, and there was no evidence

2737
01:41:26,800 --> 01:41:29,680
of any fraud related to mail-in ballots

2738
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:31,440
that could have affected the election anywhere in

2739
01:41:31,440 --> 01:41:32,140
the United States.

2740
01:41:33,980 --> 01:41:36,460
Notice the way he put that.

2741
01:41:36,460 --> 01:41:37,040
No evidence?

2742
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:41,140
No evidence of any fraud that could have

2743
01:41:41,140 --> 01:41:42,320
affected the election?

2744
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:42,620
Oh, yeah.

2745
01:41:42,700 --> 01:41:44,780
That's the standard line.

2746
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:46,420
Which means it was fraud.

2747
01:41:47,500 --> 01:41:49,580
I have to rescind my previous comment.

2748
01:41:49,780 --> 01:41:52,600
The full text of Article I, Section 4

2749
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:56,080
The Times places a manner of holding elections

2750
01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:59,320
for senators and representatives shall be prescribed in

2751
01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:01,440
each state by the legislature thereof.

2752
01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:05,260
But, big but, the Congress may at any

2753
01:42:05,260 --> 01:42:08,260
time by law make or alter such regulations

2754
01:42:08,260 --> 01:42:11,700
except as to the places of choosing senators.

2755
01:42:12,280 --> 01:42:14,280
And choosing is spelled C-H-U-S

2756
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:14,820
-I-N-G.

2757
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:15,400
Choosing.

2758
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:16,480
Choosing.

2759
01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:20,500
So, I guess Congress can change that.

2760
01:42:21,220 --> 01:42:23,200
Well, if that's true, why don't they do

2761
01:42:23,200 --> 01:42:23,400
it?

2762
01:42:24,480 --> 01:42:26,440
Because it behooves no one.

2763
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:30,160
We can't do our shenanigans if we change.

2764
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:32,400
You can't do it because there's exactly shenanigans.

2765
01:42:32,660 --> 01:42:34,040
On all sides.

2766
01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:37,020
It's been captured, and there's studies that were

2767
01:42:37,020 --> 01:42:39,240
done in the 60s and 70s about mail

2768
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:42,040
-in ballots, which were discussed a bit back

2769
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:44,260
in 2020, but then they were, nobody wants

2770
01:42:44,260 --> 01:42:45,500
to talk about it anymore, and these were

2771
01:42:45,500 --> 01:42:48,360
done by Democrats showing that mail-in ballots

2772
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:51,680
was very easily corrupt, a corruptible system, that

2773
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:55,120
you do the ballot harvesting, and you people

2774
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:58,460
just get the blank ballots, you can put

2775
01:42:58,460 --> 01:43:00,180
anyone's name on them, no one does any

2776
01:43:00,180 --> 01:43:01,900
checking to any extreme.

2777
01:43:02,340 --> 01:43:04,280
The whole thing is, it is a scam.

2778
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:05,840
Yeah, and that's why they don't want to

2779
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:06,160
change it.

2780
01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:07,520
In Oregon and Washington, two of the most

2781
01:43:08,380 --> 01:43:11,960
Democrat-run states, completely captured by the party.

2782
01:43:13,220 --> 01:43:14,700
Well, let me, allow me to ask you

2783
01:43:14,700 --> 01:43:15,240
this question.

2784
01:43:15,780 --> 01:43:18,440
Why in three clips, because we have a

2785
01:43:18,440 --> 01:43:20,620
third, of PBS, did no one do what

2786
01:43:20,620 --> 01:43:21,420
we just did?

2787
01:43:23,510 --> 01:43:27,430
Read the actual piece of the Constitution where,

2788
01:43:27,590 --> 01:43:29,950
I mean, even I can understand this language,

2789
01:43:30,570 --> 01:43:32,770
Congress may at any time, by law, make

2790
01:43:32,770 --> 01:43:34,030
or alter such regulations.

2791
01:43:35,430 --> 01:43:37,970
Well, I mean, not by executive order, for

2792
01:43:37,970 --> 01:43:38,390
sure.

2793
01:43:40,050 --> 01:43:41,470
But why don't they just read that and

2794
01:43:41,470 --> 01:43:42,850
tell us, why?

2795
01:43:43,690 --> 01:43:46,090
Because, they don't want, they want, they have

2796
01:43:46,090 --> 01:43:48,450
a perspective that why don't they have a

2797
01:43:48,450 --> 01:43:51,670
guy on, for example, along with this character,

2798
01:43:51,990 --> 01:43:54,790
who has maybe a different opinion about this.

2799
01:43:55,050 --> 01:43:57,070
Then what good would this be for the

2800
01:43:57,070 --> 01:43:57,370
show?

2801
01:43:57,490 --> 01:43:58,370
It would be useless.

2802
01:43:58,770 --> 01:44:01,470
They'd have something that people would be...

2803
01:44:01,470 --> 01:44:04,810
Well, who's propagating the bit?

2804
01:44:06,090 --> 01:44:09,850
You can stop with that bit anytime you

2805
01:44:09,850 --> 01:44:10,170
want.

2806
01:44:10,310 --> 01:44:14,110
There are sometimes small locales where there is

2807
01:44:14,110 --> 01:44:16,990
election fraud, and it sometimes does occur with

2808
01:44:16,990 --> 01:44:18,910
mail-in ballots, but not on the kind

2809
01:44:18,910 --> 01:44:20,590
of scale that the president's talking about.

2810
01:44:21,210 --> 01:44:24,630
In his social media post, he talked about

2811
01:44:24,630 --> 01:44:26,690
getting rid of voting machines as well, and

2812
01:44:26,690 --> 01:44:28,410
it's not clear what machines he's talking about.

2813
01:44:28,770 --> 01:44:30,290
I don't know what he has in mind,

2814
01:44:30,670 --> 01:44:32,530
not only about what powers he thinks he

2815
01:44:32,530 --> 01:44:34,470
has, but what exactly he thinks he wants

2816
01:44:34,470 --> 01:44:37,330
to do, since Republicans in states like Arizona

2817
01:44:37,330 --> 01:44:39,910
and Florida rely very heavily on mail-in

2818
01:44:39,910 --> 01:44:41,530
balloting to get out the votes of their

2819
01:44:41,530 --> 01:44:42,590
own supporters.

2820
01:44:43,270 --> 01:44:46,350
This morning, the Texas legislature sent Governor Abbott

2821
01:44:46,350 --> 01:44:48,370
there the newly drawn maps.

2822
01:44:48,450 --> 01:44:50,910
They're trying to pick up Republican seats in

2823
01:44:50,910 --> 01:44:51,370
the House.

2824
01:44:52,070 --> 01:44:54,470
Do mail-in ballots favor one party over

2825
01:44:54,470 --> 01:44:54,730
another?

2826
01:44:55,270 --> 01:44:58,110
Historically, Republicans were much more likely than Democrats

2827
01:44:58,110 --> 01:44:59,850
to use mail-in ballots, in part because

2828
01:44:59,850 --> 01:45:02,430
people who are older, richer, and whiter tend

2829
01:45:02,430 --> 01:45:04,010
to move less, and those are people who

2830
01:45:04,010 --> 01:45:05,790
tend to use mail-in balloting more.

2831
01:45:06,390 --> 01:45:09,610
In more recent years, Democrats have achieved parity

2832
01:45:09,610 --> 01:45:12,630
and in some places exceeded Republican use of

2833
01:45:12,630 --> 01:45:15,910
vote-by-mail, in part because Democrats realized

2834
01:45:15,910 --> 01:45:17,950
that if they pushed early voting, they could

2835
01:45:17,950 --> 01:45:19,570
kind of bank their votes and then they

2836
01:45:19,570 --> 01:45:21,710
don't have to worry about as many people

2837
01:45:21,710 --> 01:45:22,450
on election day.

2838
01:45:22,890 --> 01:45:25,070
I would say that if the president had

2839
01:45:25,070 --> 01:45:27,370
not been putting out all of these negative

2840
01:45:28,750 --> 01:45:32,210
tweets and other statements about mail-in balloting

2841
01:45:32,870 --> 01:45:35,530
deriding it, you'd see both Democrats and Republicans

2842
01:45:35,530 --> 01:45:36,690
using it more and more.

2843
01:45:37,090 --> 01:45:39,310
We do know that in 2024, an election

2844
01:45:39,310 --> 01:45:42,750
that Donald Trump won, Republican voters expressed much

2845
01:45:42,750 --> 01:45:45,510
more confidence in the election process and much

2846
01:45:45,510 --> 01:45:46,990
more support for vote-by-mail.

2847
01:45:47,190 --> 01:45:49,450
In 2024, the president was not really so

2848
01:45:49,450 --> 01:45:51,450
against vote-by-mail, but now he's back

2849
01:45:51,450 --> 01:45:52,890
on this, and so we'll see where it

2850
01:45:52,890 --> 01:45:53,130
goes.

2851
01:45:53,130 --> 01:45:54,690
I don't remember that.

2852
01:45:56,070 --> 01:45:56,870
Yeah, I do.

2853
01:45:57,150 --> 01:45:57,470
You do?

2854
01:45:57,730 --> 01:45:57,890
That's true.

2855
01:45:58,130 --> 01:45:59,230
I don't remember that.

2856
01:45:59,470 --> 01:45:59,790
I do.

2857
01:46:00,190 --> 01:46:00,670
Okay.

2858
01:46:01,030 --> 01:46:02,730
He made a big fuss about it.

2859
01:46:03,390 --> 01:46:05,330
That he thought mail-in ballots were good?

2860
01:46:05,810 --> 01:46:08,850
No, he said, he didn't say they were

2861
01:46:08,850 --> 01:46:10,850
good per se, but he said we should

2862
01:46:10,850 --> 01:46:13,050
all be doing mail-in voting, make sure

2863
01:46:13,050 --> 01:46:15,210
the Republicans get their votes in before the

2864
01:46:15,210 --> 01:46:16,190
election itself.

2865
01:46:16,430 --> 01:46:18,430
I thought it was early voting, not mail

2866
01:46:18,430 --> 01:46:19,710
-in, but early voting.

2867
01:46:20,990 --> 01:46:23,270
Mail-in was specifically mentioned.

2868
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:30,260
I'll take your word for it.

2869
01:46:30,540 --> 01:46:33,260
But here, Trump on mail-in voting from

2870
01:46:33,260 --> 01:46:35,040
Dadaist 2020, that doesn't count.

2871
01:46:36,300 --> 01:46:37,600
No, that's when he hated it.

2872
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:39,920
Yeah, I don't think we have any clips

2873
01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:40,520
of it, though.

2874
01:46:41,220 --> 01:46:44,580
Probably not, because it was not interesting.

2875
01:46:45,380 --> 01:46:47,180
Let's play the Texas thing so we get

2876
01:46:47,180 --> 01:46:49,100
the Texas new map on PBS, a little

2877
01:46:49,100 --> 01:46:49,540
short clip.

2878
01:46:49,960 --> 01:46:52,500
A redrawn Texas congressional map is on its

2879
01:46:52,500 --> 01:46:54,440
way to Texas Governor Greg Abbott for his

2880
01:46:54,440 --> 01:46:54,800
signature.

2881
01:46:55,200 --> 01:46:57,680
The Texas State Senate approved the map early

2882
01:46:57,680 --> 01:47:00,080
this morning in an 18 to 11 party

2883
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:00,720
-line vote.

2884
01:47:01,300 --> 01:47:03,340
Republicans designed the map in hopes of winning

2885
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:06,700
five additional House seats in next year's midterm

2886
01:47:06,700 --> 01:47:07,220
elections.

2887
01:47:07,820 --> 01:47:09,860
Republicans have a slim majority in the House,

2888
01:47:09,980 --> 01:47:14,100
where there are now 219 Republicans, 212 Democrats,

2889
01:47:14,340 --> 01:47:15,400
and four vacancies.

2890
01:47:17,340 --> 01:47:18,900
Yep, well, we did that.

2891
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:22,360
Everything, of course, about that is kind of

2892
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:23,380
the boring thing.

2893
01:47:23,380 --> 01:47:25,460
It's like, you get a general election, like,

2894
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:27,660
oh, I can breathe now, and then within

2895
01:47:27,660 --> 01:47:29,780
six months, it's all about the midterms, and

2896
01:47:29,780 --> 01:47:31,360
then from the midterms, it'll be for the...

2897
01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:32,880
That's all that news is.

2898
01:47:32,980 --> 01:47:34,760
News is all about politics.

2899
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:35,700
Voting and elections.

2900
01:47:36,260 --> 01:47:36,900
Politics and war.

2901
01:47:37,100 --> 01:47:38,320
Yeah, that's pretty much it.

2902
01:47:38,460 --> 01:47:40,200
Yeah, politics and war.

2903
01:47:40,360 --> 01:47:41,400
Yeah, that's pretty much it.

2904
01:47:41,420 --> 01:47:44,320
We need more famine, disease, pestilence.

2905
01:47:45,420 --> 01:47:48,260
That's another thing that's being left out.

2906
01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:50,880
Although I think the flesh-eating bacteria counts

2907
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:51,340
for that.

2908
01:47:52,100 --> 01:47:54,720
We have a deal with the European Union.

2909
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:58,880
Looks like that happened on Thursday, last show

2910
01:47:58,880 --> 01:47:59,080
day.

2911
01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:01,840
The European Union and the United States are

2912
01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:04,780
moving from trade intentions to implementation.

2913
01:48:05,180 --> 01:48:08,220
On Thursday, the two partners published a joint

2914
01:48:08,220 --> 01:48:10,620
statement setting out new customs duties.

2915
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:13,960
The text provides for a maximum duty of...

2916
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:14,060
Hold on, stop.

2917
01:48:14,660 --> 01:48:15,860
Did you see this clip?

2918
01:48:15,920 --> 01:48:16,980
Is he petting a cat?

2919
01:48:18,440 --> 01:48:21,380
No, this is Euronews.

2920
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:24,480
They have the worst guy reading the news.

2921
01:48:24,620 --> 01:48:26,280
This is the only guy they have reading...

2922
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:29,260
And Euronews generally used to be pretty good,

2923
01:48:29,620 --> 01:48:31,780
and now they have some African guy reading

2924
01:48:31,780 --> 01:48:32,220
their news.

2925
01:48:32,300 --> 01:48:32,860
I don't know why.

2926
01:48:32,940 --> 01:48:35,160
It's been setting out new customs duties.

2927
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:38,200
The text provides for a maximum duty of

2928
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:40,740
15% on a large proportion of EU

2929
01:48:40,740 --> 01:48:42,960
exports to the U.S. Once again, the

2930
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:45,940
European Commission is defending this compromise, which has

2931
01:48:45,940 --> 01:48:47,920
been the subject of much criticism.

2932
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:50,100
Let me say this clearly.

2933
01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:54,100
The alternative, a trade war with sky-high

2934
01:48:54,100 --> 01:48:57,860
tariffs and political escalation helps no one.

2935
01:48:58,160 --> 01:49:00,860
It hurts jobs, it hurts growth, and it

2936
01:49:00,860 --> 01:49:04,480
damages businesses across both the EU and the

2937
01:49:04,480 --> 01:49:05,840
U.S. We have a good deal!

2938
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:08,780
And this is not theoretical, as nearly 5

2939
01:49:08,780 --> 01:49:12,560
million European jobs, including many in SMEs, would

2940
01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:13,540
be at risk.

2941
01:49:13,980 --> 01:49:16,980
This deal avoids that path.

2942
01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:20,340
It's interesting how, in the U.S., the

2943
01:49:20,340 --> 01:49:23,080
general comment about tariffs is, it's only going

2944
01:49:23,080 --> 01:49:23,740
to hurt us!

2945
01:49:23,820 --> 01:49:24,780
We don't need tariffs!

2946
01:49:25,060 --> 01:49:26,980
But the Europeans are like, you know, these

2947
01:49:26,980 --> 01:49:28,980
tariffs could really hurt 5 million jobs.

2948
01:49:29,620 --> 01:49:31,820
You never really know where the pain is.

2949
01:49:31,820 --> 01:49:32,780
I'm trying to figure this out.

2950
01:49:32,780 --> 01:49:34,740
I have a clip that relates to that,

2951
01:49:34,820 --> 01:49:35,660
what you just said.

2952
01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:36,180
OK.

2953
01:49:36,180 --> 01:49:41,600
Which is something I mentioned on the show.

2954
01:49:42,060 --> 01:49:43,180
I'm sorry, the newsletter.

2955
01:49:44,620 --> 01:49:47,380
It says, well, it's kind of misspelled, but

2956
01:49:47,380 --> 01:49:50,840
confused tariff commentary on PBS.

2957
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:51,940
Confused tariff.

2958
01:49:52,300 --> 01:49:54,540
And if you're expecting a package from overseas,

2959
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:57,440
it may be delayed because of confusion of

2960
01:49:57,440 --> 01:50:00,900
President Trump's decision to stop exempting small value

2961
01:50:00,900 --> 01:50:02,080
imports from tariffs.

2962
01:50:02,780 --> 01:50:06,320
European postal services, like UK's Royal Mail and

2963
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:09,580
DHL, are suspending shipments until they get more

2964
01:50:09,580 --> 01:50:11,460
information and clarity about the rule.

2965
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:14,660
With the exemption gone, all imports will be

2966
01:50:14,660 --> 01:50:16,860
subject to the tariff that's imposed on the

2967
01:50:16,860 --> 01:50:17,640
country of origin.

2968
01:50:18,240 --> 01:50:20,260
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol says that

2969
01:50:20,260 --> 01:50:23,020
last year, more than a million packages with

2970
01:50:23,020 --> 01:50:26,800
goods worth $65 billion were sent under the

2971
01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:27,180
exemption.

2972
01:50:27,440 --> 01:50:30,700
Before we discuss, I have the Euronews version

2973
01:50:30,700 --> 01:50:31,680
of this confusion.

2974
01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:34,900
Several European countries will be halting their postal

2975
01:50:34,900 --> 01:50:37,700
services to the U.S. after Donald Trump

2976
01:50:37,700 --> 01:50:40,700
scrapped a tax exemption on low import goods

2977
01:50:40,700 --> 01:50:45,100
worth less than $800 or 688 euros last

2978
01:50:45,100 --> 01:50:45,480
month.

2979
01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:47,220
The White House said it is aiming to

2980
01:50:47,220 --> 01:50:50,200
combat illegal and abusive practices such as the

2981
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:52,760
importation of illegal drugs into the United States.

2982
01:50:53,620 --> 01:50:57,420
Letters and small parcels under $100 or 85

2983
01:50:57,420 --> 01:50:59,020
euro will not be affected.

2984
01:50:59,020 --> 01:51:02,240
The UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Holland

2985
01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:05,220
will temporarily suspend services as of next week

2986
01:51:05,220 --> 01:51:08,260
while Belgium already stopped shipping packages to the

2987
01:51:08,260 --> 01:51:09,260
U.S. on Friday.

2988
01:51:09,540 --> 01:51:11,580
Trump's announcement comes after the U.S. and

2989
01:51:11,580 --> 01:51:13,960
the European Union agreed on a new trade

2990
01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:15,960
deal, ending months of uncertainty.

2991
01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:18,340
So they kind of explained it, but all

2992
01:51:18,340 --> 01:51:22,260
the headlines like, oh, they're stopping all services

2993
01:51:22,260 --> 01:51:23,160
to America.

2994
01:51:23,580 --> 01:51:26,140
No one really goes into the de minimis

2995
01:51:26,140 --> 01:51:28,660
conversation, which I know you know about.

2996
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:32,160
What?

2997
01:51:32,360 --> 01:51:33,140
What part of it?

2998
01:51:33,460 --> 01:51:38,820
Oh, well, that the de minimis exemption has

2999
01:51:38,820 --> 01:51:39,860
been deleted.

3000
01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:42,200
It went away mainly from China.

3001
01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:45,820
It wasn't deleted, it was lowered.

3002
01:51:46,040 --> 01:51:48,600
Yeah, lowered to $100, from $800 to $100.

3003
01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:51,180
Yeah, so I'm getting nothing but 10 emails

3004
01:51:51,180 --> 01:51:55,920
a day from Timu and Xian saying, come

3005
01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:57,440
on, buy this, because if you look at

3006
01:51:57,440 --> 01:51:59,280
their stuff, it's all $5, $6, $10.

3007
01:51:59,820 --> 01:52:00,200
Right.

3008
01:52:00,320 --> 01:52:02,160
I think most of the stuff that was

3009
01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:05,140
brought in, they just figure, okay, so I

3010
01:52:05,140 --> 01:52:09,900
buy a $10 sweater from Timu or some

3011
01:52:09,900 --> 01:52:11,940
whatever other piece of junk, by the way,

3012
01:52:11,980 --> 01:52:13,180
this stuff never fits right.

3013
01:52:13,420 --> 01:52:15,600
It says one thing is made with another.

3014
01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:17,080
It's junk, junk.

3015
01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:19,020
But I buy a $10 piece of junk

3016
01:52:19,020 --> 01:52:21,040
and then I buy another $10 piece of

3017
01:52:21,040 --> 01:52:23,140
junk and then another, then I buy up

3018
01:52:23,140 --> 01:52:26,080
to $700 worth of, or let's say $10

3019
01:52:26,080 --> 01:52:29,140
,000 worth of junk, $10 at a time,

3020
01:52:29,280 --> 01:52:32,260
and 10 to 100 different parcels, and it

3021
01:52:32,260 --> 01:52:33,120
still comes through.

3022
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:36,760
The joke of this is that if you

3023
01:52:36,760 --> 01:52:39,340
send something, prior to all of this, if

3024
01:52:39,340 --> 01:52:42,260
you send something to the European Union, like,

3025
01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:45,360
I don't know, a ring, or in the

3026
01:52:45,360 --> 01:52:46,980
case of Curry and the Keeper, a couple

3027
01:52:46,980 --> 01:52:49,800
of glasses, we've had people wind up paying

3028
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:53,300
€50 import tax on something as small as

3029
01:52:53,300 --> 01:52:53,620
that.

3030
01:52:55,820 --> 01:52:56,820
That's the big joke.

3031
01:52:56,940 --> 01:52:58,580
They know exactly what it is because they

3032
01:52:58,580 --> 01:53:00,260
have those regulations themselves.

3033
01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:01,120
I think it's good.

3034
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:03,300
What are you ordering this, Tim?

3035
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:03,500
I don't think it's good.

3036
01:53:03,660 --> 01:53:05,780
Nobody should be paying $50 for two glasses.

3037
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:06,100
No.

3038
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:09,400
My point is, it's good that we're doing

3039
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:09,780
this.

3040
01:53:09,980 --> 01:53:10,840
Screw those guys.

3041
01:53:11,880 --> 01:53:13,040
Yeah, no, I agree with that.

3042
01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:13,720
$65 billion.

3043
01:53:13,720 --> 01:53:15,000
But the other thing is, the thing that

3044
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:16,800
is baffling to me is that what you

3045
01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:18,580
just described is the way it always worked

3046
01:53:18,580 --> 01:53:18,900
here.

3047
01:53:19,060 --> 01:53:22,040
When some package came in with a custom

3048
01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:24,540
sticker on it, you paid the duty yourself

3049
01:53:24,540 --> 01:53:25,680
at the post office.

3050
01:53:26,120 --> 01:53:28,480
Let's find out when, let's find out what

3051
01:53:28,480 --> 01:53:34,640
Democrat, Chinese, kiss-ass president or Congress did

3052
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:34,960
this.

3053
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:40,900
When did the U.S. de minimis tax

3054
01:53:41,900 --> 01:53:47,860
of $800 go into effect?

3055
01:53:47,860 --> 01:53:49,400
Okay, let's see.

3056
01:53:52,100 --> 01:53:55,180
Why don't you ask your executive?

3057
01:53:55,400 --> 01:53:57,260
Oh, this is interesting.

3058
01:53:59,640 --> 01:53:59,840
No.

3059
01:54:00,900 --> 01:54:04,460
It was part of the Trade Facilitation and

3060
01:54:04,460 --> 01:54:06,980
Trade Enforcement Act of 2015.

3061
01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:08,320
Hello!

3062
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:10,820
Who was the president in 2015?

3063
01:54:11,620 --> 01:54:12,160
Obama?

3064
01:54:12,420 --> 01:54:12,740
Yes.

3065
01:54:13,620 --> 01:54:14,540
That's right.

3066
01:54:15,420 --> 01:54:21,040
Prior to the TFTE, the de minimis...

3067
01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:22,600
What if he has shares in Timu?

3068
01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:25,300
The de minimis threshold was $200.

3069
01:54:26,180 --> 01:54:29,640
The increase to $800 allowed goods valued at

3070
01:54:29,640 --> 01:54:31,260
or below this amount to enter the U

3071
01:54:31,260 --> 01:54:32,160
.S. duty-free.

3072
01:54:32,600 --> 01:54:35,940
So that was his parting, you know, parting...

3073
01:54:35,940 --> 01:54:38,760
well, I'm sure it wasn't just Obama, obviously.

3074
01:54:39,420 --> 01:54:40,600
It was Congress.

3075
01:54:43,060 --> 01:54:44,160
Well, there you go.

3076
01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:46,740
So that was great.

3077
01:54:47,060 --> 01:54:48,980
Man, I'm going to look into that.

3078
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:52,640
I'm going to see who sponsored that.

3079
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:55,780
Someone was on the take for that.

3080
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:56,640
You think?

3081
01:54:56,740 --> 01:54:57,080
Yeah.

3082
01:54:57,880 --> 01:54:59,540
Someone was on the take.

3083
01:55:00,640 --> 01:55:01,180
What?

3084
01:55:02,400 --> 01:55:04,720
Let's see who the sponsor was.

3085
01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:08,280
The sponsor was...

3086
01:55:08,280 --> 01:55:10,820
that should be in the log.

3087
01:55:10,820 --> 01:55:12,740
It should be one Democrat and one Republican.

3088
01:55:14,380 --> 01:55:17,480
And if Lindsey Graham's name shows up, I

3089
01:55:17,480 --> 01:55:18,400
won't be surprised.

3090
01:55:18,900 --> 01:55:20,360
Let me see who it was.

3091
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:21,320
Or Swalwell.

3092
01:55:21,840 --> 01:55:23,960
It was a sponsor.

3093
01:55:26,160 --> 01:55:29,020
Patrick Tiberi from Ohio.

3094
01:55:30,380 --> 01:55:31,340
Republican.

3095
01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:35,780
There you go.

3096
01:55:36,660 --> 01:55:37,560
There you go.

3097
01:55:38,240 --> 01:55:39,240
Republican.

3098
01:55:40,220 --> 01:55:43,880
Well, I'm sure he's living comfortably.

3099
01:55:44,180 --> 01:55:45,480
Additional sponsors?

3100
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:47,240
Mr. Brady of Texas?

3101
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:49,460
Oh, it was a pure Republican bill.

3102
01:55:50,140 --> 01:55:51,220
Look at these guys.

3103
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:53,460
Yeah, one of your Texans, too.

3104
01:55:53,660 --> 01:55:54,240
Douchebags.

3105
01:55:54,340 --> 01:55:54,780
All of them.

3106
01:55:54,840 --> 01:55:55,340
All of them.

3107
01:55:56,020 --> 01:55:57,380
All of them were douches.

3108
01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:03,440
Also, we struck a deal with Canada, and

3109
01:56:04,380 --> 01:56:08,460
this was Big Talker Carney who buckled.

3110
01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:11,160
What happened to Elbows Up?

3111
01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:11,700
Huh?

3112
01:56:12,340 --> 01:56:13,100
Elbows Up?

3113
01:56:13,320 --> 01:56:15,260
Oh, Elbows Down, Mr. Carney.

3114
01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:17,660
Your critics are going to say that this

3115
01:56:17,660 --> 01:56:19,860
is an Elbows Down approach, that you're backing

3116
01:56:19,860 --> 01:56:20,600
down to Trump.

3117
01:56:20,940 --> 01:56:23,500
What are you gaining by dropping these tariffs?

3118
01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:24,720
Let's be clear.

3119
01:56:24,900 --> 01:56:27,680
We have the best deal of anyone in

3120
01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:28,420
the world right now.

3121
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:30,160
We have the lowest tariff rate on average,

3122
01:56:30,580 --> 01:56:32,760
a little over 5.5% versus that

3123
01:56:32,760 --> 01:56:35,680
16% average for the world, and in

3124
01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:36,720
many cases much higher.

3125
01:56:37,700 --> 01:56:40,340
We have that confirmed in the executive order

3126
01:56:40,340 --> 01:56:41,980
of the president a few weeks ago.

3127
01:56:43,160 --> 01:56:44,760
It's important that we preserve that.

3128
01:56:45,180 --> 01:56:47,280
We are matching something the Americans have done

3129
01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:50,080
here first, and it's very significant.

3130
01:56:50,320 --> 01:56:50,720
It's unique.

3131
01:56:51,100 --> 01:56:51,720
We get the benefit.

3132
01:56:52,220 --> 01:56:55,300
The second thing is, and I'll take your

3133
01:56:55,300 --> 01:56:58,260
analogy, and I have played some hockey over

3134
01:56:58,260 --> 01:57:00,700
the years, and there is a time in

3135
01:57:00,700 --> 01:57:02,360
a game, in a big game, and this

3136
01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:05,780
is a big game, when you go hard

3137
01:57:05,780 --> 01:57:06,920
in the corners, your elbow's up.

3138
01:57:07,240 --> 01:57:08,620
The time in a game where you drop

3139
01:57:08,620 --> 01:57:09,880
the gloves in the first period and just

3140
01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:10,360
send a message.

3141
01:57:11,760 --> 01:57:14,260
And we've done that pretty uniquely in the

3142
01:57:14,260 --> 01:57:14,440
world.

3143
01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:15,960
But there's also a time in a game

3144
01:57:15,960 --> 01:57:17,360
where you want the puck, you want a

3145
01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:18,760
stick handle, you want a pass, you want

3146
01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:19,560
to put the puck in the net.

3147
01:57:19,860 --> 01:57:21,920
And we're moving later into the game, and

3148
01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:22,820
we're at that time in the game.

3149
01:57:24,760 --> 01:57:27,060
He did actually play ice hockey for Harvard,

3150
01:57:27,420 --> 01:57:28,300
strangely enough.

3151
01:57:30,440 --> 01:57:33,760
Well, that's the worst sports analogy I've ever

3152
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:34,720
heard in my life.

3153
01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:37,740
Well, that's the Canadians, man.

3154
01:57:38,340 --> 01:57:41,780
So, anyway, I think there's all kinds of

3155
01:57:41,780 --> 01:57:42,520
different things.

3156
01:57:43,460 --> 01:57:46,120
Also for Europe with steel, there's still 50

3157
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:48,700
% tariffs after a certain quota.

3158
01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:51,820
So, in general, I think President Trump is

3159
01:57:51,820 --> 01:57:52,960
doing a good job for us.

3160
01:57:54,140 --> 01:57:57,280
Now, my buddy who does small machine CDC

3161
01:57:57,280 --> 01:58:00,220
parts, I think we talked about it.

3162
01:58:02,340 --> 01:58:03,220
I'm sure we did.

3163
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:06,400
He says, it's going to suck because it

3164
01:58:06,400 --> 01:58:07,160
costs more for us.

3165
01:58:07,220 --> 01:58:09,140
We have to use American steel for these

3166
01:58:09,140 --> 01:58:10,860
parts and American aluminum.

3167
01:58:11,480 --> 01:58:12,740
It's much more expensive.

3168
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:14,840
It'll take a few years before that price

3169
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:15,460
comes down.

3170
01:58:15,880 --> 01:58:17,820
But, and I know you remember this, he

3171
01:58:17,820 --> 01:58:20,320
said, everything we ordered from China, 40%

3172
01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:21,480
was defective.

3173
01:58:21,660 --> 01:58:22,020
Yeah, junk.

3174
01:58:22,220 --> 01:58:23,100
Yeah, it was just junk.

3175
01:58:24,200 --> 01:58:26,480
So, in general, I think in the long

3176
01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:27,260
term, it'll be good.

3177
01:58:27,660 --> 01:58:29,420
I'd rather be here than the UK, I'll

3178
01:58:29,420 --> 01:58:29,980
tell you that.

3179
01:58:31,580 --> 01:58:33,440
Yes, they are in trouble.

3180
01:58:33,900 --> 01:58:34,560
Yeah, they are.

3181
01:58:35,760 --> 01:58:38,900
Okay, anything else you got on your list?

3182
01:58:38,980 --> 01:58:40,360
Because I have a couple of just short

3183
01:58:40,360 --> 01:58:40,720
clips.

3184
01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:43,220
No, what I think we should do is

3185
01:58:43,220 --> 01:58:46,300
I'll play a lead-in to your favorite

3186
01:58:46,300 --> 01:58:46,720
segment.

3187
01:58:47,620 --> 01:58:48,060
Hold on.

3188
01:58:48,260 --> 01:58:50,140
The White House appears to have a case

3189
01:58:50,140 --> 01:58:52,300
of FOMO when it comes to TikTok and

3190
01:58:52,300 --> 01:58:55,000
its 170 million users.

3191
01:58:55,540 --> 01:58:57,540
That could explain why it's just launched an

3192
01:58:57,540 --> 01:59:00,240
official account on the Chinese-owned social media

3193
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:03,480
platform less than a month before President Trump

3194
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:05,040
is set to ban it.

3195
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:08,800
A 2024 data protection law required TikTok to

3196
01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:12,760
stop operating in January unless its owner, ByteDance,

3197
01:59:13,080 --> 01:59:15,160
sold off its U.S. operations.

3198
01:59:15,860 --> 01:59:17,840
Trump once called the spread of TikTok a

3199
01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:20,840
national emergency and has said the app's data

3200
01:59:20,840 --> 01:59:24,300
collection could give China access to Americans' personal

3201
01:59:24,300 --> 01:59:25,140
information.

3202
01:59:25,760 --> 01:59:27,880
During his first term, he signed an executive

3203
01:59:27,880 --> 01:59:31,000
order imposing sanctions on the app, but he

3204
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:33,840
went on to use TikTok extensively during last

3205
01:59:33,840 --> 01:59:36,940
year's presidential campaign and has since extended the

3206
01:59:36,940 --> 01:59:39,400
deadline for the sell-off several times.

3207
01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:41,720
It's currently set to come into force on

3208
01:59:41,720 --> 01:59:42,560
September 17th.

3209
01:59:43,920 --> 01:59:45,520
You know, you're going to be in real

3210
01:59:45,520 --> 01:59:45,920
trouble.

3211
01:59:48,440 --> 01:59:50,540
Now Reels is caught up and so is

3212
01:59:52,040 --> 01:59:54,980
If they block TikTok Half the TikTok clips

3213
01:59:54,980 --> 01:59:56,280
aren't even TikTok anymore.

3214
01:59:56,460 --> 01:59:57,500
What are you even going to do?

3215
01:59:57,700 --> 02:00:01,300
I mean, you'll lose your One America Now

3216
02:00:02,340 --> 02:00:02,740
gig.

3217
02:00:03,800 --> 02:00:05,640
Again, like I said, half the clips aren't

3218
02:00:05,640 --> 02:00:08,680
even TikTok anymore and they're the same maniacs

3219
02:00:08,680 --> 02:00:09,800
yakking into a camera.

3220
02:00:10,420 --> 02:00:11,860
And by the way, talking about yakking into

3221
02:00:11,860 --> 02:00:12,800
a camera, what is this?

3222
02:00:13,220 --> 02:00:14,840
You might know the answer to this because

3223
02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:15,780
it's been bugging me.

3224
02:00:16,640 --> 02:00:19,660
There's a lot of these video podcasters, they're

3225
02:00:19,660 --> 02:00:23,080
holding a little square microphone with a dead

3226
02:00:23,080 --> 02:00:23,700
cat on it.

3227
02:00:23,920 --> 02:00:24,760
A dead kitten.

3228
02:00:25,440 --> 02:00:27,400
It's a little square thing and it's like

3229
02:00:27,400 --> 02:00:29,340
a portable mic and it doesn't have wires.

3230
02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:32,480
And they're holding, waving it around in this

3231
02:00:32,480 --> 02:00:34,900
microphone and I've seen it over and over

3232
02:00:34,900 --> 02:00:36,660
again and I can't, I don't know what

3233
02:00:36,660 --> 02:00:40,000
it is, who makes it and it sounds

3234
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:40,520
decent.

3235
02:00:40,720 --> 02:00:41,980
Well, I'm glad you asked.

3236
02:00:42,800 --> 02:00:44,740
This is from, the reason why is because

3237
02:00:44,740 --> 02:00:48,400
they are giving them free and it is

3238
02:00:48,400 --> 02:00:51,260
from my favorite company who has never sent

3239
02:00:51,260 --> 02:00:54,500
me anything even though I have spoken positively

3240
02:00:54,500 --> 02:00:55,680
about their products.

3241
02:00:56,260 --> 02:00:56,520
Rode.

3242
02:00:56,660 --> 02:00:57,480
Rode, that's right.

3243
02:00:57,620 --> 02:00:58,460
That's the Rode microphone.

3244
02:00:58,560 --> 02:00:59,780
Do they make this stupid looking thing?

3245
02:00:59,960 --> 02:01:01,600
By the way, I think it's idiotic.

3246
02:01:01,960 --> 02:01:03,540
It records on device even.

3247
02:01:04,160 --> 02:01:05,660
Oh, it's an on device recorder.

3248
02:01:05,740 --> 02:01:06,260
That's interesting.

3249
02:01:06,460 --> 02:01:08,100
Well, it's wireless and on device.

3250
02:01:08,820 --> 02:01:09,640
Does both.

3251
02:01:10,920 --> 02:01:11,040
Yeah.

3252
02:01:11,120 --> 02:01:12,020
Well, it's a little square.

3253
02:01:12,140 --> 02:01:13,300
It looks dumb.

3254
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:15,020
I know, especially when they clip it on

3255
02:01:15,020 --> 02:01:15,520
somebody.

3256
02:01:15,640 --> 02:01:16,280
It's like a big.

3257
02:01:16,360 --> 02:01:17,660
Oh God, that is horrible.

3258
02:01:17,780 --> 02:01:18,800
Big giant square.

3259
02:01:18,980 --> 02:01:19,860
Big giant thing.

3260
02:01:20,040 --> 02:01:21,840
It's got the dead kitten on it too

3261
02:01:21,840 --> 02:01:22,700
which makes it worse.

3262
02:01:22,820 --> 02:01:23,340
Yeah, I know.

3263
02:01:23,740 --> 02:01:25,100
But it sounds good.

3264
02:01:25,140 --> 02:01:26,240
Sounds good for sure.

3265
02:01:26,260 --> 02:01:27,640
Yeah, it does seem to sound good but

3266
02:01:27,640 --> 02:01:29,880
it's just like, I've been seeing it over

3267
02:01:29,880 --> 02:01:30,420
and over again.

3268
02:01:30,480 --> 02:01:31,900
So I got three clips.

3269
02:01:32,620 --> 02:01:35,140
They're all the same, you know, ranting women

3270
02:01:35,140 --> 02:01:37,340
that have lost their minds over one thing

3271
02:01:37,340 --> 02:01:37,760
or another.

3272
02:01:37,900 --> 02:01:41,460
Let's start with the bigoted hater girl.

3273
02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:43,980
It's usually a swipe left too because we

3274
02:01:43,980 --> 02:01:45,500
all know what that usually means now.

3275
02:01:45,620 --> 02:01:46,760
I think the fact- Don't want to

3276
02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:47,440
date Trump voters.

3277
02:01:47,640 --> 02:01:49,040
Women don't want to date Trump voters.

3278
02:01:49,360 --> 02:01:51,040
Men who love Donald Trump struggle on the

3279
02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:52,160
dating- Oh, 100%.

3280
02:01:52,160 --> 02:01:53,160
If we see a man who says he's

3281
02:01:53,160 --> 02:01:54,820
conservative it is an automatic swipe left.

3282
02:01:54,860 --> 02:01:56,260
It does not matter what he looks like.

3283
02:01:56,400 --> 02:01:57,600
And me personally at this point, if I

3284
02:01:57,600 --> 02:01:59,300
see a man listed as moderate as well,

3285
02:01:59,380 --> 02:02:01,400
it's usually a swipe left too because we

3286
02:02:01,400 --> 02:02:02,860
all know what that usually means now.

3287
02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:04,660
I think the fact that conservative men absolutely

3288
02:02:04,660 --> 02:02:06,160
refuse to listen to women when we try

3289
02:02:06,160 --> 02:02:07,560
to explain to them why we don't want

3290
02:02:07,560 --> 02:02:09,260
to date conservative men and then they choose

3291
02:02:09,260 --> 02:02:11,580
to proceed to be conservative and then immediately

3292
02:02:11,580 --> 02:02:13,320
complain that they're confused as to why women

3293
02:02:13,320 --> 02:02:14,920
don't want to date them and they don't

3294
02:02:14,920 --> 02:02:17,280
know why is an ironic perfect embodiment of

3295
02:02:17,280 --> 02:02:19,340
like the lack of critical thinking and self

3296
02:02:19,340 --> 02:02:19,680
- awareness.

3297
02:02:20,200 --> 02:02:21,660
You know, like the ability to step outside

3298
02:02:21,660 --> 02:02:23,720
of your own experience and listen to others

3299
02:02:23,720 --> 02:02:25,740
that the conservative party embodies as a whole

3300
02:02:25,740 --> 02:02:27,440
making a lot of women like me not

3301
02:02:27,440 --> 02:02:28,200
want to date them.

3302
02:02:28,600 --> 02:02:29,480
And a lot of this is trending in

3303
02:02:29,480 --> 02:02:30,960
the news right now because the conservative party

3304
02:02:30,960 --> 02:02:32,500
is about to launch their new dating app

3305
02:02:32,500 --> 02:02:34,380
called The Right Stuff in which I'm willing

3306
02:02:34,380 --> 02:02:36,320
to bet every penny that I've ever made

3307
02:02:36,320 --> 02:02:37,840
that the usership of this app is going

3308
02:02:37,840 --> 02:02:39,860
to be about 90% men and 10

3309
02:02:39,860 --> 02:02:42,040
% women with Lynn as the second part

3310
02:02:42,040 --> 02:02:42,580
of their name.

3311
02:02:42,640 --> 02:02:44,260
And I know the immediate complaint is always

3312
02:02:44,260 --> 02:02:45,880
y'all are so close minded to anything

3313
02:02:45,880 --> 02:02:47,860
which embodies a lot of irony coming from

3314
02:02:47,860 --> 02:02:49,520
the right alone, but that's not true.

3315
02:02:49,600 --> 02:02:50,700
One of my best friends used to be

3316
02:02:50,700 --> 02:02:52,660
moderate and our friendship ended for different reasons

3317
02:02:52,660 --> 02:02:54,260
kind of but a lot of his close

3318
02:02:54,260 --> 02:02:55,240
friends were conservative men.

3319
02:02:55,400 --> 02:02:55,580
So anytime.

3320
02:02:56,320 --> 02:02:57,860
Oh, that's how it ends.

3321
02:02:58,100 --> 02:02:59,940
Yeah, just kind of gets cut off.

3322
02:03:02,440 --> 02:03:04,760
So this is a woman's do bitches about

3323
02:03:04,760 --> 02:03:07,060
self- awareness and she's obviously not self

3324
02:03:07,060 --> 02:03:08,500
-aware she's a chatterbox.

3325
02:03:08,820 --> 02:03:08,980
Yeah.

3326
02:03:09,080 --> 02:03:09,220
Yeah.

3327
02:03:09,440 --> 02:03:12,360
Wonders why, you know, I like the fact

3328
02:03:12,360 --> 02:03:14,260
that most of these women self-identify.

3329
02:03:14,420 --> 02:03:16,260
They got the nose ring or they got

3330
02:03:16,260 --> 02:03:18,680
some other some other adornment.

3331
02:03:18,820 --> 02:03:20,820
If I recall she was no looker because

3332
02:03:20,820 --> 02:03:22,040
I think I've seen this clip.

3333
02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:24,340
She was mad like a seven maybe.

3334
02:03:25,080 --> 02:03:27,140
Well, I didn't rate her in one way

3335
02:03:27,140 --> 02:03:27,460
or the other.

3336
02:03:27,940 --> 02:03:30,000
When you bring these clips, you need to

3337
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:30,780
give me a number.

3338
02:03:31,540 --> 02:03:32,720
I'll give her a six.

3339
02:03:33,160 --> 02:03:33,600
Okay.

3340
02:03:36,540 --> 02:03:38,540
You're a six on the Dvorak scale.

3341
02:03:38,980 --> 02:03:40,980
So then we get the leftists.

3342
02:03:41,160 --> 02:03:42,340
I got two clips here.

3343
02:03:42,620 --> 02:03:46,720
Leftists that are on to promote their perspective

3344
02:03:46,720 --> 02:03:47,480
on things.

3345
02:03:47,540 --> 02:03:50,420
And this is a this group is going

3346
02:03:50,420 --> 02:03:51,760
to be leftist.

3347
02:03:51,900 --> 02:03:53,400
They're going to be left in the lurch.

3348
02:03:53,560 --> 02:03:55,800
Well, now I presume these are Gen Z

3349
02:03:55,800 --> 02:03:56,180
women.

3350
02:03:56,420 --> 02:03:56,900
Sounds like.

3351
02:03:56,920 --> 02:03:59,480
No, these are mostly really.

3352
02:03:59,840 --> 02:04:01,060
No, no, no, not that.

3353
02:04:01,340 --> 02:04:05,100
Well, maybe I think they're borderline on millennial.

3354
02:04:06,780 --> 02:04:08,720
But they could be the Gen Z's before

3355
02:04:08,720 --> 02:04:10,760
they start to fall into the conservative camp.

3356
02:04:10,940 --> 02:04:11,160
Exactly.

3357
02:04:11,460 --> 02:04:12,420
That's what's happening.

3358
02:04:12,540 --> 02:04:14,620
They're looking at their own generation and these

3359
02:04:14,620 --> 02:04:15,460
are the stragglers.

3360
02:04:15,620 --> 02:04:17,560
These are the ones that haven't gotten the

3361
02:04:17,560 --> 02:04:18,120
memo yet.

3362
02:04:18,260 --> 02:04:19,840
This is not where you want to be.

3363
02:04:21,300 --> 02:04:24,100
Well, they're definitely stragglers and they, you know,

3364
02:04:24,120 --> 02:04:25,980
I guess it's one way of looking at

3365
02:04:25,980 --> 02:04:26,160
it.

3366
02:04:26,260 --> 02:04:26,820
Okay, here we go.

3367
02:04:26,920 --> 02:04:30,860
One getting crushed by capitalism is like so

3368
02:04:30,860 --> 02:04:34,660
cringe, but it's like it's happening to me

3369
02:04:34,660 --> 02:04:37,540
and like I got a PhD from Berkeley

3370
02:04:37,540 --> 02:04:42,660
and We already understand the problem.

3371
02:04:42,660 --> 02:04:44,040
A PhD from Berkeley.

3372
02:04:44,260 --> 02:04:46,260
I can't get a job to save my

3373
02:04:46,260 --> 02:04:46,820
life.

3374
02:04:47,400 --> 02:04:51,520
Like I got a soil biology PhD and

3375
02:04:51,520 --> 02:04:53,520
what kind of what kind of PhD?

3376
02:04:54,200 --> 02:04:55,460
Soil biology.

3377
02:04:55,640 --> 02:04:56,560
Soil biology.

3378
02:04:56,560 --> 02:05:00,160
Is there a big market for soil biologists?

3379
02:05:01,040 --> 02:05:02,240
According to her, no.

3380
02:05:02,580 --> 02:05:04,440
I mean, maybe in the Corn Belt.

3381
02:05:04,960 --> 02:05:09,720
Like I got a soil biology PhD and

3382
02:05:09,720 --> 02:05:12,000
like now I'm a tutor and a babysitter

3383
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:15,280
and a dog sitter and like part of

3384
02:05:15,280 --> 02:05:17,620
that is because like I don't want to

3385
02:05:17,620 --> 02:05:19,860
like move to some random place in the

3386
02:05:19,860 --> 02:05:22,560
middle of nowhere but like another half is

3387
02:05:22,560 --> 02:05:24,540
like they cut all the funding for science

3388
02:05:24,540 --> 02:05:27,820
and like the biotech market is just like

3389
02:05:27,820 --> 02:05:31,100
absolutely cratered and like I have long COVID

3390
02:05:31,100 --> 02:05:33,580
so it's difficult for me to work like

3391
02:05:33,580 --> 02:05:36,320
a full time job and just like I

3392
02:05:36,320 --> 02:05:37,680
got on here to rant a little bit,

3393
02:05:37,800 --> 02:05:40,900
but like oh my god, like what do

3394
02:05:40,900 --> 02:05:41,420
we do?

3395
02:05:42,280 --> 02:05:43,900
I just have to work.

3396
02:05:45,060 --> 02:05:46,760
I just gotta work.

3397
02:05:47,440 --> 02:05:47,860
Yes.

3398
02:05:48,140 --> 02:05:49,780
She doesn't want to move to where the

3399
02:05:49,780 --> 02:05:50,500
jobs are though.

3400
02:05:50,560 --> 02:05:51,220
That's the problem.

3401
02:05:51,320 --> 02:05:53,520
She doesn't want to move to where soil

3402
02:05:53,520 --> 02:05:54,360
biology is.

3403
02:05:54,480 --> 02:05:56,160
Well, it turns out she got a bunch

3404
02:05:56,160 --> 02:05:57,860
of grief for this report and she came

3405
02:05:57,860 --> 02:05:59,240
out with a second posting.

3406
02:05:59,600 --> 02:06:01,900
Oh, but there's a series.

3407
02:06:02,160 --> 02:06:02,980
A follow-up.

3408
02:06:03,200 --> 02:06:03,420
Yes.

3409
02:06:03,820 --> 02:06:06,180
And she comes out and admits what really

3410
02:06:06,180 --> 02:06:09,640
is going on with her and it brings

3411
02:06:09,640 --> 02:06:12,340
up the ironies of today's modern age, especially

3412
02:06:12,340 --> 02:06:14,140
in the ironies of the Democrat Party.

3413
02:06:14,320 --> 02:06:15,820
If you listen to this, this is her

3414
02:06:16,380 --> 02:06:16,860
comeback.

3415
02:06:17,520 --> 02:06:19,800
I know not many right-wingers get this,

3416
02:06:19,920 --> 02:06:21,880
but as a leftist, I really don't want

3417
02:06:21,880 --> 02:06:22,400
a job.

3418
02:06:22,760 --> 02:06:24,740
Like, I know that people make fun of

3419
02:06:24,740 --> 02:06:27,240
leftists for not wanting a job, but like

3420
02:06:27,240 --> 02:06:28,480
I'm really one of them.

3421
02:06:28,780 --> 02:06:30,220
I just...

3422
02:06:30,220 --> 02:06:31,620
Come on, this is not real.

3423
02:06:31,760 --> 02:06:33,820
This is not a sincere person who says

3424
02:06:33,820 --> 02:06:34,240
this.

3425
02:06:34,760 --> 02:06:36,040
This is not possible.

3426
02:06:36,220 --> 02:06:37,260
I believe it to be.

3427
02:06:37,900 --> 02:06:39,700
It's the same woman that just went on

3428
02:06:39,700 --> 02:06:40,700
their other rant.

3429
02:06:40,780 --> 02:06:43,200
It could be a fake, but I'm liking

3430
02:06:43,200 --> 02:06:43,500
it.

3431
02:06:43,720 --> 02:06:46,080
I can't stand the idea of having to

3432
02:06:46,080 --> 02:06:49,460
work and I don't understand why right-wingers

3433
02:06:49,460 --> 02:06:50,320
want to work either.

3434
02:06:50,700 --> 02:06:51,620
Like, they...

3435
02:06:51,620 --> 02:06:55,200
On social media, does she like a lot

3436
02:06:55,200 --> 02:06:55,780
of posts?

3437
02:06:55,960 --> 02:06:57,740
Because it sure sounds like it.

3438
02:06:57,900 --> 02:06:59,300
Like, like, like, like.

3439
02:06:59,680 --> 02:07:02,160
And I don't understand why right-wingers want

3440
02:07:02,160 --> 02:07:02,840
to work either.

3441
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:06,960
Like, they are slaves to their masters low

3442
02:07:06,960 --> 02:07:09,980
-key and they love it and they eat

3443
02:07:09,980 --> 02:07:10,420
it up.

3444
02:07:11,660 --> 02:07:13,880
But when someone like me says, like, I

3445
02:07:13,880 --> 02:07:15,120
don't want to work in the middle of

3446
02:07:15,120 --> 02:07:18,180
nowhere, everybody's mad at me.

3447
02:07:18,520 --> 02:07:22,080
And it's pretty obvious that you're a little

3448
02:07:22,080 --> 02:07:24,760
bit, like, cucked, if you know what I

3449
02:07:24,760 --> 02:07:24,880
mean.

3450
02:07:25,540 --> 02:07:29,900
By your circumstances and maybe I am too.

3451
02:07:30,620 --> 02:07:32,040
But I'm into that.

3452
02:07:33,040 --> 02:07:33,720
So...

3453
02:07:33,720 --> 02:07:34,620
Okay.

3454
02:07:35,280 --> 02:07:35,960
Alright.

3455
02:07:37,760 --> 02:07:38,340
Wow.

3456
02:07:38,940 --> 02:07:41,760
So, I think that whether there's truth to

3457
02:07:41,760 --> 02:07:43,420
this or not, there is an element of

3458
02:07:43,420 --> 02:07:44,720
if I don't want to really work, I

3459
02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:46,980
should just be given a free ride.

3460
02:07:47,120 --> 02:07:48,240
I already worked.

3461
02:07:48,320 --> 02:07:50,560
I got my PhD in soil science.

3462
02:07:51,420 --> 02:07:56,320
And what comes to mind is the Democrat

3463
02:07:56,320 --> 02:07:59,260
Party, who likes these people.

3464
02:07:59,700 --> 02:08:02,880
The Democrat Party used to be the party

3465
02:08:02,880 --> 02:08:04,160
of the working class.

3466
02:08:04,660 --> 02:08:05,980
And now, all of a sudden, you're a

3467
02:08:05,980 --> 02:08:08,000
right-winger if you like to work?

3468
02:08:08,500 --> 02:08:11,300
Yeah, well, these parties flip all the time

3469
02:08:11,300 --> 02:08:12,160
throughout history.

3470
02:08:13,500 --> 02:08:16,180
Remember, it was the Democrats who were racist,

3471
02:08:16,420 --> 02:08:18,080
and then somehow it was the Republicans who

3472
02:08:18,080 --> 02:08:18,760
were racist.

3473
02:08:21,140 --> 02:08:23,760
Well, somehow they were accused of being racist,

3474
02:08:23,860 --> 02:08:25,620
but the Democrats are still racist.

3475
02:08:25,880 --> 02:08:26,560
This is correct.

3476
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:28,360
Yeah.

3477
02:08:29,560 --> 02:08:32,440
Well, anyway, that's my contribution to the good

3478
02:08:32,440 --> 02:08:33,000
of society.

3479
02:08:33,300 --> 02:08:35,600
Yes, that's a very sad state of affairs.

3480
02:08:36,580 --> 02:08:38,400
I hope you had a nice, strong cup

3481
02:08:38,400 --> 02:08:39,900
of tea after watching that.

3482
02:08:40,640 --> 02:08:43,760
You must protect your own mind from the

3483
02:08:43,760 --> 02:08:47,520
virus that these people propagate on social media.

3484
02:08:48,140 --> 02:08:49,280
Like, like.

3485
02:08:49,480 --> 02:08:51,760
And with that, I want to thank you

3486
02:08:51,760 --> 02:08:52,720
very much for your courage.

3487
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:54,000
The man who put the C in the

3488
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:55,780
CNC parts from China.

3489
02:08:56,280 --> 02:08:57,480
Say hello to my friend on the other

3490
02:08:57,480 --> 02:09:00,320
end, will you, Mr. John C.

3491
02:09:01,480 --> 02:09:01,880
DeMora!

3492
02:09:05,740 --> 02:09:07,600
And good morning to you, Mr. Adam Crenshaw.

3493
02:09:07,880 --> 02:09:11,800
And all the dames and knights out there.

3494
02:09:15,440 --> 02:09:21,180
Yeah, I think people heard the message that

3495
02:09:21,180 --> 02:09:22,940
the stream issues have been resolved.

3496
02:09:23,400 --> 02:09:23,840
2125.

3497
02:09:23,980 --> 02:09:25,380
We're getting closer to our old numbers.

3498
02:09:25,460 --> 02:09:26,160
This is good news.

3499
02:09:26,800 --> 02:09:28,280
And we still are in the dog days

3500
02:09:28,280 --> 02:09:28,680
of summer.

3501
02:09:28,860 --> 02:09:30,380
Is school back in session?

3502
02:09:30,580 --> 02:09:31,060
Is school back?

3503
02:09:31,120 --> 02:09:32,020
Are people back at school?

3504
02:09:32,200 --> 02:09:32,440
Yeah.

3505
02:09:32,760 --> 02:09:33,900
They just went back to school.

3506
02:09:34,540 --> 02:09:35,700
Like last week.

3507
02:09:36,080 --> 02:09:37,920
When I was a kid, we went after

3508
02:09:37,920 --> 02:09:39,840
Labor Day or whatever the holiday is in

3509
02:09:39,840 --> 02:09:40,160
September.

3510
02:09:40,380 --> 02:09:41,660
It was in September.

3511
02:09:42,180 --> 02:09:43,640
And we didn't get...

3512
02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:46,960
And we quit, I think, before the 15th

3513
02:09:46,960 --> 02:09:47,440
of June.

3514
02:09:47,600 --> 02:09:49,620
All the way to the second week of

3515
02:09:49,620 --> 02:09:50,120
September.

3516
02:09:50,640 --> 02:09:51,660
It was summertime.

3517
02:09:51,960 --> 02:09:54,200
And the teachers were always, oh, those teachers,

3518
02:09:54,340 --> 02:09:54,920
they get a hold.

3519
02:09:55,040 --> 02:09:56,380
Look at all the time they get off.

3520
02:09:58,200 --> 02:09:58,620
Yeah.

3521
02:09:58,620 --> 02:10:00,320
How come the teachers aren't up in arms

3522
02:10:00,320 --> 02:10:00,860
about this?

3523
02:10:00,940 --> 02:10:01,420
They should be.

3524
02:10:01,420 --> 02:10:02,260
They should be very mad.

3525
02:10:03,280 --> 02:10:04,500
I have no idea.

3526
02:10:04,700 --> 02:10:07,320
Maybe they figure they get another month of

3527
02:10:07,320 --> 02:10:07,760
checks.

3528
02:10:07,980 --> 02:10:08,440
I don't know.

3529
02:10:10,120 --> 02:10:11,860
Well, anyway, it's good to have you Trolls

3530
02:10:11,860 --> 02:10:12,060
here.

3531
02:10:12,240 --> 02:10:15,100
Trollroom.io noagenda.stream and, of course, the

3532
02:10:15,100 --> 02:10:17,840
Modern Podcast Apps, where you can always, always

3533
02:10:17,840 --> 02:10:20,260
be notified when we go live.

3534
02:10:20,360 --> 02:10:22,280
This is the hot new thing in podcasting.

3535
02:10:22,520 --> 02:10:24,480
It's been around for a couple of years,

3536
02:10:24,480 --> 02:10:25,860
but it's starting to become very hot.

3537
02:10:26,660 --> 02:10:27,200
You just wait.

3538
02:10:27,380 --> 02:10:27,980
It's going to be hot.

3539
02:10:28,300 --> 02:10:29,200
Yep, it's very, very hot.

3540
02:10:30,860 --> 02:10:33,460
PodcastApps.com Podverse is still the number one

3541
02:10:33,460 --> 02:10:37,360
alternative app for this show versus Apple, number

3542
02:10:37,360 --> 02:10:37,740
one.

3543
02:10:38,180 --> 02:10:39,060
Podverse, number two.

3544
02:10:39,240 --> 02:10:40,880
Podcast Guru, number three.

3545
02:10:41,720 --> 02:10:43,220
Zero Spotify, of course.

3546
02:10:43,320 --> 02:10:44,280
We're not on Spotify.

3547
02:10:45,220 --> 02:10:47,080
And people seem to not have a problem

3548
02:10:47,080 --> 02:10:47,460
with that.

3549
02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:48,620
Like, OK, it's not on Spotify.

3550
02:10:48,780 --> 02:10:49,780
I'll just use a different app.

3551
02:10:50,360 --> 02:10:51,680
Spotify are no good.

3552
02:10:51,860 --> 02:10:52,900
We don't want to be a part of

3553
02:10:52,900 --> 02:10:53,440
that cabal.

3554
02:10:54,100 --> 02:10:55,420
They are evil.

3555
02:10:56,240 --> 02:10:58,460
But we are somehow on the iHeart app.

3556
02:10:59,480 --> 02:11:00,280
Are we?

3557
02:11:00,440 --> 02:11:00,620
Yeah.

3558
02:11:00,860 --> 02:11:02,520
Did you submit us to the iHeart app?

3559
02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:05,660
We're on Podbean.

3560
02:11:05,800 --> 02:11:06,440
That's what I like.

3561
02:11:07,900 --> 02:11:09,440
I'll have to take a look and see

3562
02:11:09,440 --> 02:11:10,660
if we're on Podbean.

3563
02:11:11,180 --> 02:11:12,460
That is kind of a necessity.

3564
02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:14,200
We have to be on Podbean to be

3565
02:11:14,200 --> 02:11:15,460
an official podcast.

3566
02:11:16,520 --> 02:11:19,680
Value for Value is the way we've been

3567
02:11:19,680 --> 02:11:20,820
operating on this program.

3568
02:11:20,940 --> 02:11:24,200
It'll be 18 years in October and episode

3569
02:11:24,200 --> 02:11:27,480
1800 coming up in seven short episodes.

3570
02:11:27,740 --> 02:11:29,500
Do we have a date yet?

3571
02:11:29,580 --> 02:11:32,300
Do you know the date of our 1800th

3572
02:11:32,300 --> 02:11:32,680
episode?

3573
02:11:33,100 --> 02:11:34,420
Just look at the calendar.

3574
02:11:34,560 --> 02:11:35,320
You can figure it out.

3575
02:11:35,420 --> 02:11:36,580
That's why I asked you.

3576
02:11:36,740 --> 02:11:38,580
I haven't done that yet.

3577
02:11:38,820 --> 02:11:42,360
When it gets to show 1798.

3578
02:11:43,580 --> 02:11:44,780
Then we'll start thinking.

3579
02:11:45,800 --> 02:11:48,140
It should be next week, plus one show.

3580
02:11:49,380 --> 02:11:52,200
Value for Value means that you don't have

3581
02:11:52,200 --> 02:11:53,480
to listen to ads.

3582
02:11:53,480 --> 02:11:54,180
Oh, man.

3583
02:11:55,120 --> 02:11:57,580
I was listening to radio the other day.

3584
02:11:57,740 --> 02:11:58,520
I don't understand.

3585
02:12:00,080 --> 02:12:00,900
It's all ads.

3586
02:12:01,240 --> 02:12:03,940
I like country music.

3587
02:12:05,480 --> 02:12:07,040
Hello there, buddy.

3588
02:12:07,340 --> 02:12:09,280
It's not quite what country music is anymore.

3589
02:12:09,420 --> 02:12:11,780
In fact, country music is not like Merle

3590
02:12:11,780 --> 02:12:12,680
Haggard anymore.

3591
02:12:13,620 --> 02:12:14,800
It's unlistenable.

3592
02:12:15,280 --> 02:12:17,580
No wonder people just listen to a playlist.

3593
02:12:18,280 --> 02:12:21,720
Why would you listen to music radio just

3594
02:12:21,720 --> 02:12:22,340
in general?

3595
02:12:22,600 --> 02:12:23,820
Stop for ads.

3596
02:12:24,120 --> 02:12:25,300
20 minutes to an hour.

3597
02:12:25,580 --> 02:12:25,800
No.

3598
02:12:26,020 --> 02:12:27,900
You know what's really annoying about these ads

3599
02:12:27,900 --> 02:12:28,940
on these radio stations?

3600
02:12:29,260 --> 02:12:29,540
Well?

3601
02:12:30,080 --> 02:12:34,520
They pretty much all use the same generalized

3602
02:12:34,520 --> 02:12:35,260
clock.

3603
02:12:35,760 --> 02:12:36,400
Oh, yeah.

3604
02:12:36,440 --> 02:12:38,740
The ads all hit at the same time.

3605
02:12:39,380 --> 02:12:41,200
It comes to an ad segment.

3606
02:12:41,400 --> 02:12:42,620
You change channels.

3607
02:12:42,860 --> 02:12:44,140
Ad, ad, ad.

3608
02:12:44,360 --> 02:12:46,220
Channel, channel, channel.

3609
02:12:46,320 --> 02:12:47,620
Ads, ads, ads, ads.

3610
02:12:48,220 --> 02:12:50,500
There's no moment of relaxation.

3611
02:12:50,920 --> 02:12:51,560
It's all ads.

3612
02:12:51,860 --> 02:12:57,340
When I was working at the legendary WHTZ

3613
02:12:57,340 --> 02:13:01,600
Z100 in New York under the guidance of

3614
02:13:01,600 --> 02:13:04,800
Michael Scott Shannon, who invented the Z Morning

3615
02:13:04,800 --> 02:13:05,180
Zoo.

3616
02:13:06,640 --> 02:13:07,600
He invented the zoo?

3617
02:13:07,780 --> 02:13:08,140
Oh, yeah.

3618
02:13:08,500 --> 02:13:09,080
He's credited.

3619
02:13:09,260 --> 02:13:09,980
I believe he did.

3620
02:13:11,620 --> 02:13:13,100
I've always wondered who did that.

3621
02:13:13,200 --> 02:13:14,280
It was in New York?

3622
02:13:14,400 --> 02:13:15,440
The first zoo was in New York?

3623
02:13:15,440 --> 02:13:15,800
No, no.

3624
02:13:15,820 --> 02:13:19,920
I think he started it in Jacksonville, Florida,

3625
02:13:20,080 --> 02:13:21,180
I think that's where he was first.

3626
02:13:21,200 --> 02:13:22,360
Yeah, I heard it was started in Florida.

3627
02:13:22,520 --> 02:13:25,060
And there's still some zoo shows in Florida.

3628
02:13:25,180 --> 02:13:27,060
If you go down there in the morning,

3629
02:13:27,200 --> 02:13:27,640
driving around.

3630
02:13:27,660 --> 02:13:29,280
W-A-P-E, the big ape, everybody.

3631
02:13:29,400 --> 02:13:29,700
Good morning.

3632
02:13:31,340 --> 02:13:32,540
My daddy was a beetle.

3633
02:13:34,380 --> 02:13:35,420
It's always the same.

3634
02:13:35,520 --> 02:13:38,640
You got at least two guys yakking at

3635
02:13:38,640 --> 02:13:39,080
each other.

3636
02:13:39,160 --> 02:13:41,140
And then there's a girl who's part of

3637
02:13:41,140 --> 02:13:42,860
it and she makes snide comments.

3638
02:13:42,860 --> 02:13:45,720
And then there's a sports guy and then

3639
02:13:45,720 --> 02:13:48,160
there's a gay guy who does entertainment news.

3640
02:13:49,080 --> 02:13:49,560
Correct.

3641
02:13:51,660 --> 02:13:53,900
And there's always a wacky guy who calls

3642
02:13:53,900 --> 02:13:54,080
up.

3643
02:13:54,160 --> 02:13:56,300
Here's Mr. Leonard in his lime green pinto.

3644
02:13:56,480 --> 02:13:57,940
Hey, morning, Scott.

3645
02:13:58,120 --> 02:13:59,580
I'm here in my lime green pinto.

3646
02:14:00,920 --> 02:14:02,920
Yes, there will be one guy who calls

3647
02:14:02,920 --> 02:14:05,080
in, and he can usually do voices, and

3648
02:14:05,080 --> 02:14:07,460
he calls in as Clinton or he calls

3649
02:14:07,460 --> 02:14:08,320
in as Trump.

3650
02:14:08,820 --> 02:14:12,360
And that guy calls ten radio stations every

3651
02:14:12,360 --> 02:14:14,500
morning, and he deals with every single one

3652
02:14:14,500 --> 02:14:14,720
of them.

3653
02:14:14,940 --> 02:14:15,220
Anyway.

3654
02:14:16,140 --> 02:14:18,480
What Scott Shannon had, because of that clock

3655
02:14:18,480 --> 02:14:23,460
format, and it really went to 46 past

3656
02:14:23,460 --> 02:14:23,900
the hour.

3657
02:14:24,060 --> 02:14:25,300
That was the big thing.

3658
02:14:25,360 --> 02:14:27,940
Go 46 past the hour, then you'd have

3659
02:14:27,940 --> 02:14:31,240
about five, six minutes of ads, and then

3660
02:14:31,240 --> 02:14:32,920
you wanted to come out of that block

3661
02:14:32,920 --> 02:14:35,240
with the biggest monster hit you could play.

3662
02:14:35,800 --> 02:14:37,220
This is before internet, children.

3663
02:14:37,440 --> 02:14:39,000
Well, the internet was around, but there was

3664
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:39,660
no streaming.

3665
02:14:40,600 --> 02:14:44,180
And he had four light bulbs in the

3666
02:14:44,180 --> 02:14:44,540
studio.

3667
02:14:44,720 --> 02:14:46,000
Old school light bulbs.

3668
02:14:46,560 --> 02:14:49,560
One was for PLJ 95.5, one was

3669
02:14:49,560 --> 02:14:50,740
for WBLS.

3670
02:14:51,940 --> 02:14:53,700
I forget who the two others were.

3671
02:14:54,640 --> 02:14:55,240
Maybe...

3672
02:14:55,240 --> 02:14:55,980
I don't remember.

3673
02:14:56,780 --> 02:14:59,060
So you would see the light bulbs come

3674
02:14:59,060 --> 02:15:01,380
on when the other stations went into commercials,

3675
02:15:02,240 --> 02:15:04,000
and the trick was you wanted to be

3676
02:15:04,000 --> 02:15:06,600
out of commercials into the monster hit before

3677
02:15:06,600 --> 02:15:08,320
those other light bulbs went off.

3678
02:15:09,760 --> 02:15:11,000
That's how competitive it was.

3679
02:15:11,780 --> 02:15:11,880
That's interesting.

3680
02:15:11,960 --> 02:15:13,540
You've never told that story before.

3681
02:15:13,640 --> 02:15:14,240
No, I haven't.

3682
02:15:14,380 --> 02:15:16,520
Well, the more you know.

3683
02:15:16,840 --> 02:15:17,440
That's an interesting trick.

3684
02:15:17,540 --> 02:15:18,200
The more you know.

3685
02:15:18,400 --> 02:15:23,160
Oh, the other trick was the radio ratings

3686
02:15:23,160 --> 02:15:25,160
were done, and I think they're all done

3687
02:15:25,160 --> 02:15:27,340
by Nielsen now, but back in the day,

3688
02:15:27,400 --> 02:15:29,560
they were done by a company called Arbitron.

3689
02:15:30,020 --> 02:15:31,160
Right, Arbitron.

3690
02:15:31,180 --> 02:15:34,160
And Arbitron, they mainly did diaries.

3691
02:15:34,160 --> 02:15:36,900
So they would have, you know, a hundred

3692
02:15:36,900 --> 02:15:39,560
or a thousand families, and you would keep

3693
02:15:39,560 --> 02:15:41,320
a diary of what you listened to throughout

3694
02:15:41,320 --> 02:15:41,800
the day.

3695
02:15:42,480 --> 02:15:46,060
So whenever the Arbitron diaries went out, Scott

3696
02:15:46,060 --> 02:15:49,880
Shannon would do a promotion with these cheap

3697
02:15:49,880 --> 02:15:52,060
wristwatches called Armitron.

3698
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:55,140
And so it would be like, if you

3699
02:15:55,140 --> 02:15:57,320
call it 100, you'll win an Arbitron watch!

3700
02:15:57,500 --> 02:16:00,400
The idea was people were thinking, Arbitron, Arbitron,

3701
02:16:00,540 --> 02:16:02,860
Arbitron, and so they would remember a Z100,

3702
02:16:03,120 --> 02:16:05,540
they would associate it with Arbitron whenever they

3703
02:16:05,540 --> 02:16:06,600
had to fill out the diary.

3704
02:16:07,520 --> 02:16:08,400
It's a scam, I tell you.

3705
02:16:08,620 --> 02:16:09,060
Wow!

3706
02:16:10,460 --> 02:16:12,920
That is admirable marketing.

3707
02:16:13,500 --> 02:16:15,220
Scott Shannon, man, the guy's a genius.

3708
02:16:15,880 --> 02:16:18,580
Yeah, well, that's why he made good money,

3709
02:16:18,720 --> 02:16:18,920
too.

3710
02:16:19,000 --> 02:16:21,140
Now, unlike Scott Shannon, we just ask people

3711
02:16:21,140 --> 02:16:23,160
to support us with your hard-earned cash.

3712
02:16:23,680 --> 02:16:25,240
We don't want to have to think about

3713
02:16:25,240 --> 02:16:26,160
tricks like that.

3714
02:16:26,200 --> 02:16:26,820
Can you imagine?

3715
02:16:27,620 --> 02:16:28,380
Downloads, everybody!

3716
02:16:28,840 --> 02:16:31,400
Subscribe using the Apple podcast app so it

3717
02:16:31,400 --> 02:16:34,000
auto-downloads and we can trick our advertisers

3718
02:16:34,000 --> 02:16:35,940
into thinking that we had more people listening.

3719
02:16:36,120 --> 02:16:36,660
That is true.

3720
02:16:37,540 --> 02:16:38,000
So, no.

3721
02:16:38,080 --> 02:16:39,760
Instead of that, we just ask you to

3722
02:16:39,760 --> 02:16:41,320
send us whatever you think the show was

3723
02:16:41,320 --> 02:16:41,799
worth to you.

3724
02:16:41,860 --> 02:16:42,860
If you get something out of it, if

3725
02:16:42,860 --> 02:16:45,420
you learned something, maybe there was something that

3726
02:16:45,420 --> 02:16:47,920
you heard and was a good investment tip,

3727
02:16:47,980 --> 02:16:49,200
or you stayed alive.

3728
02:16:49,379 --> 02:16:50,740
I mean, that has also happened here.

3729
02:16:50,799 --> 02:16:52,320
Or maybe you just wanted to sound a

3730
02:16:52,320 --> 02:16:54,219
little bit smarter than the rest of the

3731
02:16:54,219 --> 02:16:56,900
NPC drones that work around the water cooler.

3732
02:16:57,660 --> 02:16:59,100
Now, you can do that with your time,

3733
02:16:59,540 --> 02:17:00,740
your talent, or your treasure.

3734
02:17:01,040 --> 02:17:03,480
We love many different ways of time and

3735
02:17:03,480 --> 02:17:06,840
talent, including the artwork that people used to

3736
02:17:06,840 --> 02:17:09,760
make by hand, slaving over it hours while

3737
02:17:09,760 --> 02:17:10,680
listening to the show.

3738
02:17:11,559 --> 02:17:14,059
Now it's just prompt jockeys, but okay.

3739
02:17:14,360 --> 02:17:16,540
You still got to have a good idea,

3740
02:17:16,660 --> 02:17:17,840
so we do appreciate that.

3741
02:17:17,900 --> 02:17:18,780
There's more than ever.

3742
02:17:19,240 --> 02:17:22,240
Anybody can participate at noagendaartgenerator.com.

3743
02:17:22,700 --> 02:17:26,840
And we want to thank Digital2112man who brought

3744
02:17:26,840 --> 02:17:30,040
us the artwork for episode 1792, the snappy

3745
02:17:30,040 --> 02:17:33,120
title of Maloney in the Middle, which I

3746
02:17:33,120 --> 02:17:33,900
kind of did like.

3747
02:17:35,160 --> 02:17:40,620
And this was a very happy piece of

3748
02:17:40,620 --> 02:17:40,840
art.

3749
02:17:41,540 --> 02:17:44,420
Back to school, noagenda, backs to school, vaccination,

3750
02:17:44,760 --> 02:17:47,400
a happy little school kid just smiling as

3751
02:17:47,400 --> 02:17:50,780
the nurse jabs a needle into the kid's

3752
02:17:50,780 --> 02:17:51,000
arm.

3753
02:17:51,139 --> 02:17:52,799
It's a very, very happy moment.

3754
02:17:53,120 --> 02:17:55,580
We thought it was not ghoulish enough to

3755
02:17:55,580 --> 02:17:58,120
be vetoed, but yet...

3756
02:17:58,120 --> 02:17:59,780
Well, you didn't like it at first.

3757
02:17:59,920 --> 02:18:01,820
No, I still...

3758
02:18:01,820 --> 02:18:04,940
It's not my favorite, but there wasn't much

3759
02:18:04,940 --> 02:18:05,639
else.

3760
02:18:05,820 --> 02:18:07,160
What did I like?

3761
02:18:07,219 --> 02:18:09,400
I liked the plumber butt, but no, we're

3762
02:18:09,400 --> 02:18:10,139
not going to do that.

3763
02:18:10,639 --> 02:18:11,400
There's something else.

3764
02:18:11,879 --> 02:18:13,840
You liked the corn.

3765
02:18:14,160 --> 02:18:14,760
Saluting corn.

3766
02:18:15,200 --> 02:18:20,000
Yes, corn scription didn't make sense, although we

3767
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:21,320
talked about conscription.

3768
02:18:22,139 --> 02:18:23,480
I said something else.

3769
02:18:23,580 --> 02:18:25,219
It wasn't corn scription, I don't think.

3770
02:18:25,700 --> 02:18:27,040
But I just thought that was a cute

3771
02:18:27,040 --> 02:18:27,760
piece of art.

3772
02:18:27,840 --> 02:18:28,520
You didn't like it.

3773
02:18:29,200 --> 02:18:31,400
Comicstreetblogger came in with a corrected version of

3774
02:18:31,400 --> 02:18:32,240
You're a Body Double.

3775
02:18:32,400 --> 02:18:33,340
Yeah, good luck, pal.

3776
02:18:35,440 --> 02:18:37,400
After you failed the first time, we're not

3777
02:18:37,400 --> 02:18:37,920
going to use it.

3778
02:18:37,980 --> 02:18:38,900
It was too late anyway.

3779
02:18:40,139 --> 02:18:43,680
And there was some apprentice stuff, Eloni Maloney,

3780
02:18:44,020 --> 02:18:46,080
lots of thermosol.

3781
02:18:47,840 --> 02:18:50,059
I kind of liked the trade school guy

3782
02:18:50,059 --> 02:18:52,459
with the toilet plunger.

3783
02:18:52,940 --> 02:18:54,620
He didn't really like that.

3784
02:18:55,059 --> 02:18:55,160
Right.

3785
02:18:55,260 --> 02:18:55,900
You liked that one.

3786
02:18:56,100 --> 02:18:57,420
That's the one I think you picked right

3787
02:18:57,420 --> 02:18:57,959
off the bat.

3788
02:18:58,280 --> 02:19:00,040
Yeah, but why didn't you like it?

3789
02:19:00,500 --> 02:19:01,480
It was a mess.

3790
02:19:03,219 --> 02:19:05,040
Yes, it was an AI mess.

3791
02:19:06,580 --> 02:19:09,100
And so just looking at what we had,

3792
02:19:09,240 --> 02:19:12,860
yeah, I think looking at all the pros

3793
02:19:12,860 --> 02:19:15,980
and cons, the back-to-school vaccination was

3794
02:19:15,980 --> 02:19:19,200
just cute and funny enough that it worked.

3795
02:19:19,500 --> 02:19:21,719
No one threw bricks at me on the

3796
02:19:21,719 --> 02:19:22,280
street, so.

3797
02:19:22,780 --> 02:19:23,639
Did you get any comments?

3798
02:19:23,840 --> 02:19:26,780
Do you look at your X timeline when

3799
02:19:26,780 --> 02:19:27,559
we post the show?

3800
02:19:29,540 --> 02:19:29,940
Sometimes.

3801
02:19:30,500 --> 02:19:30,780
And?

3802
02:19:30,840 --> 02:19:32,240
Did you see any comments about it?

3803
02:19:32,780 --> 02:19:33,040
No.

3804
02:19:33,340 --> 02:19:34,760
Okay, well, there you go.

3805
02:19:35,120 --> 02:19:36,400
A reasonable job.

3806
02:19:37,320 --> 02:19:39,160
Digital2112 man is all over this thing now.

3807
02:19:40,059 --> 02:19:41,780
He's just like, he's just going for broke.

3808
02:19:42,260 --> 02:19:43,959
He's not even listening to the show.

3809
02:19:44,040 --> 02:19:44,879
He's like, oh yeah, it's up there.

3810
02:19:45,520 --> 02:19:46,900
Oh yeah, I like this.

3811
02:19:46,959 --> 02:19:47,740
Oh yeah, I've got it.

3812
02:19:47,920 --> 02:19:48,880
I'll prompt this one.

3813
02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:49,980
I'll prompt this one.

3814
02:19:50,540 --> 02:19:53,520
Thank you, Digital2112 man, for the artwork for

3815
02:19:53,520 --> 02:19:54,540
episode 1792.

3816
02:19:54,960 --> 02:19:58,160
We also thank all of our treasure supporters

3817
02:19:58,160 --> 02:19:59,800
who support us.

3818
02:19:59,860 --> 02:20:00,780
$50 and above.

3819
02:20:00,860 --> 02:20:02,940
We will always mention your name or whatever

3820
02:20:02,940 --> 02:20:04,220
alias you want to use.

3821
02:20:04,640 --> 02:20:06,840
And as a special good deal, just like

3822
02:20:06,840 --> 02:20:09,900
Hollywood, you'll see the credits on Hollywood movies

3823
02:20:09,900 --> 02:20:10,560
and productions.

3824
02:20:10,820 --> 02:20:12,840
Lots of people on the credit roll.

3825
02:20:12,840 --> 02:20:15,060
But if you're an executive producer or associate

3826
02:20:15,060 --> 02:20:16,860
executive producer, you get the big title up

3827
02:20:16,860 --> 02:20:17,020
front.

3828
02:20:17,100 --> 02:20:18,200
That's just how the world works.

3829
02:20:18,500 --> 02:20:21,040
You may not like capitalism, but this is

3830
02:20:21,040 --> 02:20:21,220
it.

3831
02:20:21,940 --> 02:20:24,580
$200 or above where you get the exclusive

3832
02:20:24,580 --> 02:20:27,840
title of executive producer for this episode will

3833
02:20:27,840 --> 02:20:29,680
be 1793 of The Noah Jenner Show.

3834
02:20:30,260 --> 02:20:31,000
And we'll read your note.

3835
02:20:31,440 --> 02:20:33,460
$300 or above, you get the title of

3836
02:20:33,460 --> 02:20:36,640
executive producer and we will read your note

3837
02:20:36,640 --> 02:20:36,920
as well.

3838
02:20:37,120 --> 02:20:39,820
Dana Brunetti sent me a very disturbing video.

3839
02:20:40,980 --> 02:20:42,220
What was it?

3840
02:20:42,840 --> 02:20:46,220
He said, did I complain about him donating?

3841
02:20:46,360 --> 02:20:46,980
I think I did.

3842
02:20:47,740 --> 02:20:49,200
Well, you're always complaining about him.

3843
02:20:49,520 --> 02:20:51,800
So he sends me a video of you

3844
02:20:52,520 --> 02:20:55,680
having a dinner and wine at a very

3845
02:20:55,680 --> 02:20:56,940
upscale restaurant.

3846
02:20:58,160 --> 02:21:00,260
And it was him filming it.

3847
02:21:00,300 --> 02:21:04,280
Then he said, Dvorak ate your part of

3848
02:21:04,280 --> 02:21:04,960
the donation.

3849
02:21:06,240 --> 02:21:09,500
So just so you know, when he takes

3850
02:21:09,500 --> 02:21:11,460
you out to dinner, he considers that a

3851
02:21:11,460 --> 02:21:12,500
donation to the show.

3852
02:21:13,420 --> 02:21:13,600
Yeah.

3853
02:21:14,360 --> 02:21:18,580
And he had a pair of, yeah, we

3854
02:21:18,580 --> 02:21:20,880
went to this place and he was in

3855
02:21:20,880 --> 02:21:21,220
town.

3856
02:21:22,180 --> 02:21:24,080
So we went to a one-star restaurant

3857
02:21:24,080 --> 02:21:26,460
which was not close to being one-star

3858
02:21:26,460 --> 02:21:28,100
in quality, which irked me.

3859
02:21:29,100 --> 02:21:29,820
I'm sorry.

3860
02:21:30,120 --> 02:21:31,460
Because I know what a one-star restaurant

3861
02:21:31,460 --> 02:21:33,200
should be like and this was not a

3862
02:21:33,200 --> 02:21:35,060
one-star restaurant by any, we're talking about

3863
02:21:35,060 --> 02:21:35,820
Michelin stars.

3864
02:21:36,380 --> 02:21:40,160
So he has a pair of those glasses

3865
02:21:40,160 --> 02:21:41,420
that takes videos.

3866
02:21:42,460 --> 02:21:44,320
Oh, how lame is that?

3867
02:21:44,820 --> 02:21:47,220
Well, he didn't have them on for long.

3868
02:21:47,280 --> 02:21:49,420
He put them on the dorkiest looking things

3869
02:21:49,420 --> 02:21:51,960
and the worst part about it is that

3870
02:21:51,960 --> 02:21:54,140
there's a little light that lights up.

3871
02:21:54,600 --> 02:21:56,300
It's like, I'm a dick.

3872
02:21:56,680 --> 02:21:57,440
Is it a pulse?

3873
02:21:58,020 --> 02:22:01,680
Yeah, the light is flashing code, Morse code,

3874
02:22:01,800 --> 02:22:02,360
I'm a dick.

3875
02:22:02,440 --> 02:22:03,780
I'm a dick, I'm a dick, I'm a

3876
02:22:03,780 --> 02:22:03,980
dick.

3877
02:22:04,760 --> 02:22:06,260
I'm recording you, I'm a dick.

3878
02:22:06,380 --> 02:22:06,760
Wow.

3879
02:22:07,620 --> 02:22:11,220
So he had those glasses and I didn't

3880
02:22:11,220 --> 02:22:14,000
even ask whose brand they were.

3881
02:22:14,260 --> 02:22:15,640
I'm sure it's Facebook.

3882
02:22:15,900 --> 02:22:16,620
It's Meta stuff.

3883
02:22:17,620 --> 02:22:19,120
I'm pretty sure Meta has them.

3884
02:22:19,360 --> 02:22:21,460
So that's what he's spending his money on.

3885
02:22:21,540 --> 02:22:23,800
Well, anyway, I told him, I replied, I

3886
02:22:23,800 --> 02:22:25,920
said, no, you're just a cheapskate.

3887
02:22:26,580 --> 02:22:28,360
You just don't want to donate real money.

3888
02:22:30,320 --> 02:22:32,140
I can't remember what he replied but he

3889
02:22:32,140 --> 02:22:33,980
had no real reply after that.

3890
02:22:34,120 --> 02:22:36,300
Turns out these Hollywood guys, once you just

3891
02:22:36,300 --> 02:22:38,200
slap them down, they got no fight.

3892
02:22:38,220 --> 02:22:39,080
They're Hollywood guys.

3893
02:22:40,040 --> 02:22:41,760
And you too can be like a Hollywood

3894
02:22:41,760 --> 02:22:44,920
person because these credits are as valid as

3895
02:22:44,920 --> 02:22:45,800
any Hollywood credit.

3896
02:22:45,920 --> 02:22:46,760
You can use it anywhere.

3897
02:22:46,900 --> 02:22:50,460
Hollywood credits are accepted and recognized, including imdb

3898
02:22:50,460 --> 02:22:51,020
.com.

3899
02:22:51,080 --> 02:22:54,340
And our first executive producer goes to Steve

3900
02:22:54,340 --> 02:22:58,740
Miller from Aledo, Texas who's been donating frequently

3901
02:22:58,740 --> 02:23:00,840
of late $1,000.

3902
02:23:01,320 --> 02:23:03,080
And he says this combination of my Thursday

3903
02:23:03,080 --> 02:23:06,000
donation and today should get us two knighthoods

3904
02:23:06,000 --> 02:23:08,820
and a secretary general ships.

3905
02:23:09,560 --> 02:23:11,680
One each for my son, Andrew Miller, and

3906
02:23:11,680 --> 02:23:12,120
myself.

3907
02:23:13,220 --> 02:23:16,780
West Coast IPA's Philly cheesesteaks from Jim's and

3908
02:23:16,780 --> 02:23:22,140
Basil Haydeck dark rye old fashions should be

3909
02:23:22,140 --> 02:23:24,780
the perfect mix for our first roundtable.

3910
02:23:25,260 --> 02:23:25,560
Okay.

3911
02:23:25,840 --> 02:23:26,920
I've ordered it.

3912
02:23:26,920 --> 02:23:29,760
Andrew would like to be named Sir Q

3913
02:23:30,960 --> 02:23:31,560
Itus.

3914
02:23:33,140 --> 02:23:36,320
So Sir Q-U-E Itus.

3915
02:23:36,620 --> 02:23:38,400
Pronounce Sir Q-U-Tus.

3916
02:23:39,740 --> 02:23:42,640
Secretary Sir Q-U-Tus.

3917
02:23:42,640 --> 02:23:43,360
Sir Q-U-Tus.

3918
02:23:43,360 --> 02:23:44,120
Sir Q-U-Tus.

3919
02:23:44,460 --> 02:23:44,960
Thank you.

3920
02:23:45,120 --> 02:23:46,220
So it means roundabout.

3921
02:23:46,840 --> 02:23:47,720
Sir Q-U-Tus.

3922
02:23:47,980 --> 02:23:51,100
Secretary General of Parker County.

3923
02:23:51,260 --> 02:23:53,700
And I'd like to be Sir Render Not

3924
02:23:53,700 --> 02:23:54,680
with a K.

3925
02:23:55,240 --> 02:23:57,520
Secretary General of Broken Supply Chains.

3926
02:23:58,140 --> 02:23:59,020
This is a big one.

3927
02:23:59,100 --> 02:24:00,860
We have a big ceremony now for our

3928
02:24:00,860 --> 02:24:01,700
secretary generals.

3929
02:24:01,700 --> 02:24:02,300
Oh, you have it?

3930
02:24:02,480 --> 02:24:02,940
Of course.

3931
02:24:03,180 --> 02:24:06,060
Hey, I do production on this show, of

3932
02:24:06,060 --> 02:24:06,260
course.

3933
02:24:07,000 --> 02:24:07,360
Please.

3934
02:24:07,480 --> 02:24:08,700
I didn't know you were ready to do

3935
02:24:08,700 --> 02:24:09,460
that one already.

3936
02:24:10,420 --> 02:24:11,160
Of course.

3937
02:24:11,340 --> 02:24:11,900
I'm stunned.

3938
02:24:11,980 --> 02:24:12,760
I'm taking it back.

3939
02:24:15,040 --> 02:24:16,060
I have that.

3940
02:24:16,540 --> 02:24:17,280
Oh, jeez.

3941
02:24:17,500 --> 02:24:18,720
What do you mean, oh jeez?

3942
02:24:19,780 --> 02:24:20,600
Come on, man.

3943
02:24:20,640 --> 02:24:22,960
I got my...

3944
02:24:22,960 --> 02:24:24,920
Yeah, I got...

3945
02:24:24,920 --> 02:24:26,740
And I have the music to go with

3946
02:24:26,740 --> 02:24:27,020
that.

3947
02:24:27,600 --> 02:24:30,100
Please also give Andrew some new house karma

3948
02:24:30,100 --> 02:24:33,580
as he buys his first house, escaping from

3949
02:24:33,580 --> 02:24:36,820
Colorado to Texas, good man, and explores the

3950
02:24:36,820 --> 02:24:38,260
true meaning of house poor.

3951
02:24:38,480 --> 02:24:38,960
That's right.

3952
02:24:39,320 --> 02:24:41,460
And a little Al Sharpton, please, just for

3953
02:24:41,460 --> 02:24:41,740
grins.

3954
02:24:41,820 --> 02:24:43,820
Thank you for your courage, says Steve Miller

3955
02:24:43,820 --> 02:24:45,260
from Aledo, Texas.

3956
02:24:49,400 --> 02:24:51,460
R-E-S-P-I-C-T.

3957
02:24:52,160 --> 02:24:54,000
You've got karma.

3958
02:24:56,580 --> 02:25:00,400
Now we have Sir Ichabod from Lake Forest

3959
02:25:00,400 --> 02:25:04,020
Park, Washington, or as they said there, Washington,

3960
02:25:05,210 --> 02:25:08,540
666.66. This is a check that came

3961
02:25:08,540 --> 02:25:09,280
in with a note.

3962
02:25:09,740 --> 02:25:09,960
Mm-hmm.

3963
02:25:10,720 --> 02:25:14,560
Crackpot Buzzkill, I have been remiss lately, so

3964
02:25:14,560 --> 02:25:16,100
I'm playing catch up with my donations.

3965
02:25:16,260 --> 02:25:19,220
Here's 333 for the last 200 shows.

3966
02:25:19,220 --> 02:25:19,860
Wow.

3967
02:25:20,800 --> 02:25:21,760
That's a good way of doing it.

3968
02:25:21,860 --> 02:25:22,360
That's very good.

3969
02:25:22,460 --> 02:25:22,980
I like it.

3970
02:25:23,140 --> 02:25:25,240
200 shows, $3.33 a show.

3971
02:25:25,740 --> 02:25:27,480
I can't believe I have given this kind

3972
02:25:27,480 --> 02:25:28,520
of money to a product.

3973
02:25:29,060 --> 02:25:31,620
I can't believe I have given this kind

3974
02:25:31,620 --> 02:25:33,060
of money to a podcast.

3975
02:25:33,800 --> 02:25:36,400
But you have been worth every penny over

3976
02:25:36,400 --> 02:25:40,680
the last 11 years that I've been listening.

3977
02:25:41,020 --> 02:25:42,920
It's fitting that the first episode I listened

3978
02:25:42,920 --> 02:25:46,900
to was titled Slavery Enrollment.

3979
02:25:46,900 --> 02:25:47,860
Wow.

3980
02:25:48,180 --> 02:25:50,760
What episode was that?

3981
02:25:50,980 --> 02:25:52,880
That's 11 years ago.

3982
02:25:53,080 --> 02:25:53,580
Slavery.

3983
02:25:54,400 --> 02:25:56,300
This donation takes me over to the Baron

3984
02:25:56,300 --> 02:25:56,580
level.

3985
02:25:56,700 --> 02:25:58,780
Please update my title to Baron Ichabod of

3986
02:25:58,780 --> 02:26:00,740
the Bike Path Gorable.

3987
02:26:01,280 --> 02:26:03,940
Protector of the Seleucid Empire.

3988
02:26:05,440 --> 02:26:06,080
Seleucid.

3989
02:26:06,780 --> 02:26:09,240
Adam, even though you don't like it, could

3990
02:26:09,240 --> 02:26:11,680
you please use the Bob Dylan version of

3991
02:26:11,680 --> 02:26:14,620
these titles or changing for the ceremony?

3992
02:26:15,940 --> 02:26:18,240
I don't know that he doesn't like it.

3993
02:26:18,540 --> 02:26:23,540
By the way, Slavery Enrollment was episode 666.

3994
02:26:24,820 --> 02:26:26,180
Oh, that's the 666.

3995
02:26:26,180 --> 02:26:27,020
I get it.

3996
02:26:27,500 --> 02:26:28,700
Hence the donation.

3997
02:26:30,380 --> 02:26:32,020
Adam, the reason you don't understand many of

3998
02:26:32,020 --> 02:26:33,900
John's references is because you are not a

3999
02:26:33,900 --> 02:26:34,180
boomer.

4000
02:26:34,380 --> 02:26:35,340
This is not true.

4001
02:26:35,480 --> 02:26:36,280
He is a boomer.

4002
02:26:37,420 --> 02:26:39,340
I refuse to believe as a kid I

4003
02:26:39,340 --> 02:26:42,220
was led into the headbanger's ball each week

4004
02:26:42,220 --> 02:26:44,660
by a boomer posing as some cool hip

4005
02:26:44,660 --> 02:26:45,320
VJ.

4006
02:26:47,740 --> 02:26:50,300
But then I'm Gen X, so meh.

4007
02:26:50,460 --> 02:26:51,040
Who cares?

4008
02:26:51,920 --> 02:26:54,460
Lastly, I'm a huge fan of Ashlyn Speed.

4009
02:26:54,640 --> 02:26:56,500
That No Agenda sticker on her race car

4010
02:26:56,500 --> 02:26:58,160
deserves actual sponsorship.

4011
02:26:59,200 --> 02:27:01,320
Ashlyn, if you're listening, send Adam an email.

4012
02:27:01,760 --> 02:27:03,880
If there's a way that Gitmo Nation can

4013
02:27:03,880 --> 02:27:07,200
help you in Value for Value, I'd like

4014
02:27:07,200 --> 02:27:09,300
to send you $500 that you can use

4015
02:27:09,300 --> 02:27:10,980
for a plane ticket to the next race.

4016
02:27:11,080 --> 02:27:12,680
Maybe buy an extra tire.

4017
02:27:13,120 --> 02:27:14,940
Or an extra tire is what she needs.

4018
02:27:15,380 --> 02:27:18,440
Or a handful of those side view mirrors

4019
02:27:18,440 --> 02:27:20,660
you like to knock off rubbing elbows at

4020
02:27:20,660 --> 02:27:22,360
100 miles an hour with other boys and

4021
02:27:22,360 --> 02:27:23,280
girls in the track.

4022
02:27:23,600 --> 02:27:25,200
Good luck for the rest of the season.

4023
02:27:25,640 --> 02:27:26,000
Jingle.

4024
02:27:26,520 --> 02:27:29,800
F35 Karma for Ashlyn at the Virginia International

4025
02:27:29,800 --> 02:27:31,140
Raceway this weekend.

4026
02:27:31,380 --> 02:27:34,460
Sincerely, Sir Ichabod of the Bike Path Gorble.

4027
02:27:36,480 --> 02:27:40,450
You've got Karma.

4028
02:27:40,450 --> 02:27:40,830
Karma.

4029
02:27:42,490 --> 02:27:44,270
Thank you very much, Sir Ichabod.

4030
02:27:44,410 --> 02:27:46,710
Count Stephen is in Oswego, Illinois.

4031
02:27:47,110 --> 02:27:50,330
$515.38. It may be $500 with fees.

4032
02:27:50,510 --> 02:27:52,130
Please set me up as secretary.

4033
02:27:52,430 --> 02:27:55,710
The secretary-general ship of Winder and the

4034
02:27:55,710 --> 02:27:56,850
Great Smoky Mountains.

4035
02:27:57,410 --> 02:27:59,570
Could use some relationship karma as well.

4036
02:28:00,010 --> 02:28:00,830
And this comes from Count Stephen.

4037
02:28:00,830 --> 02:28:01,590
Could it be Winder?

4038
02:28:02,590 --> 02:28:03,810
Maybe it is Winder.

4039
02:28:05,050 --> 02:28:07,330
I'll pronounce it properly during your ceremony.

4040
02:28:07,530 --> 02:28:10,070
Count Stephen of Winder and the Great Smoky

4041
02:28:10,070 --> 02:28:10,550
Mountains.

4042
02:28:11,950 --> 02:28:13,970
You've got karma.

4043
02:28:15,290 --> 02:28:18,390
Jeffrey Ray in Maricopa, Arizona.

4044
02:28:19,370 --> 02:28:24,430
$515.38. Jeffrey Ray, secretary-general of the

4045
02:28:24,430 --> 02:28:30,150
Autonomous Region of Madeira, a.k.a. Digital2112man.

4046
02:28:30,310 --> 02:28:31,350
There he is.

4047
02:28:31,990 --> 02:28:33,090
That's who this is.

4048
02:28:34,050 --> 02:28:36,710
Is it possible to please email a PDF

4049
02:28:36,710 --> 02:28:37,650
of the certificate?

4050
02:28:38,010 --> 02:28:39,470
We got into it back and forth.

4051
02:28:39,750 --> 02:28:42,390
I guess he is...

4052
02:28:43,190 --> 02:28:44,970
He might not be the same guy.

4053
02:28:45,070 --> 02:28:45,430
Yeah, it is.

4054
02:28:45,450 --> 02:28:46,250
He doesn't have a wall?

4055
02:28:48,670 --> 02:28:49,750
I don't know.

4056
02:28:50,330 --> 02:28:51,310
We'll work it out.

4057
02:28:52,310 --> 02:28:53,490
We always work it out.

4058
02:28:53,550 --> 02:28:54,450
We'll take care of you, brother.

4059
02:28:56,870 --> 02:28:59,910
$350.93 from Sir Scovey from Charlotte, North

4060
02:28:59,910 --> 02:29:00,350
Carolina.

4061
02:29:00,470 --> 02:29:00,950
Thank you.

4062
02:29:01,050 --> 02:29:01,490
Scovey.

4063
02:29:02,030 --> 02:29:03,110
Sir Scovey.

4064
02:29:03,970 --> 02:29:04,490
Jingles.

4065
02:29:04,730 --> 02:29:05,270
Sharp and respect.

4066
02:29:05,370 --> 02:29:06,490
Bush, just send your cash.

4067
02:29:06,610 --> 02:29:07,870
Klobuchar sounds pretty good.

4068
02:29:07,990 --> 02:29:10,630
ITM gentlemen, please accept this donation of $333

4069
02:29:10,630 --> 02:29:11,990
.33 plus fees.

4070
02:29:12,370 --> 02:29:13,630
Fellow producers, he says.

4071
02:29:13,710 --> 02:29:15,570
I have an offer for Gitmo Nation for

4072
02:29:15,570 --> 02:29:18,430
every $333.33 donation made up to and

4073
02:29:18,430 --> 02:29:21,550
including show 1800 on September 18th.

4074
02:29:21,550 --> 02:29:22,270
There it is, John.

4075
02:29:23,090 --> 02:29:24,130
September 18th.

4076
02:29:24,770 --> 02:29:27,470
I will match the $333.33 donation on

4077
02:29:27,470 --> 02:29:28,290
the following show.

4078
02:29:28,390 --> 02:29:30,010
This offer is good for up to six

4079
02:29:30,010 --> 02:29:30,710
donations.

4080
02:29:30,710 --> 02:29:32,850
It's a matching donation.

4081
02:29:33,390 --> 02:29:34,750
I think that's a first.

4082
02:29:35,070 --> 02:29:36,070
No, maybe not the first.

4083
02:29:36,390 --> 02:29:38,630
Somebody else, I think, did that at a

4084
02:29:38,630 --> 02:29:39,030
meetup.

4085
02:29:40,130 --> 02:29:43,050
Non-profits love to do this.

4086
02:29:43,770 --> 02:29:45,410
Because you can say, we got a matching

4087
02:29:45,410 --> 02:29:46,490
donation, everybody.

4088
02:29:47,730 --> 02:29:50,410
And he continues by saying, no agenda is

4089
02:29:50,410 --> 02:29:52,070
the best podcast in the universe.

4090
02:29:52,330 --> 02:29:55,170
Let's give John and Adam another reason to

4091
02:29:55,170 --> 02:29:57,470
know us as the best producers in the

4092
02:29:57,470 --> 02:29:57,870
universe.

4093
02:29:58,070 --> 02:29:59,410
Love and light, Sir Scovey.

4094
02:29:59,410 --> 02:30:01,910
Duke of the Piedmont PhD.

4095
02:30:05,810 --> 02:30:07,850
R-E-S-P-I-C-T.

4096
02:30:08,050 --> 02:30:09,210
I know a lot of people want to

4097
02:30:09,210 --> 02:30:10,790
send blankets or water.

4098
02:30:11,610 --> 02:30:12,670
Just send your cash.

4099
02:30:12,710 --> 02:30:14,830
I think that sounds pretty good.

4100
02:30:16,670 --> 02:30:17,390
Classic.

4101
02:30:17,910 --> 02:30:21,490
Weird Wizard in Valparaiso, Indiana.

4102
02:30:21,630 --> 02:30:25,650
$350.93. Elder Zoomer here.

4103
02:30:26,030 --> 02:30:27,350
Just turned 28.

4104
02:30:27,350 --> 02:30:28,010
Yay!

4105
02:30:29,210 --> 02:30:31,970
Been a lister since Adam's appearance on the

4106
02:30:31,970 --> 02:30:33,790
JRE back in 2020.

4107
02:30:33,970 --> 02:30:34,670
Broke a donation.

4108
02:30:35,970 --> 02:30:38,370
I formed a relationship with God in part

4109
02:30:38,370 --> 02:30:39,270
due to Adam.

4110
02:30:40,530 --> 02:30:43,250
He's talking about his journey and have found

4111
02:30:43,250 --> 02:30:46,250
praying to be a great way to end

4112
02:30:46,250 --> 02:30:46,950
each day.

4113
02:30:47,290 --> 02:30:48,170
I'm debt free.

4114
02:30:48,950 --> 02:30:50,430
Which is a big deal, by the way.

4115
02:30:51,210 --> 02:30:53,210
Have a great job I enjoy and recently

4116
02:30:53,210 --> 02:30:54,210
purchased a house.

4117
02:30:54,430 --> 02:30:54,710
Woo!

4118
02:30:55,350 --> 02:30:56,410
He's on a roll.

4119
02:30:57,070 --> 02:30:58,530
And met the love of my life.

4120
02:30:58,770 --> 02:30:59,310
Holy moly.

4121
02:30:59,450 --> 02:30:59,970
This is great.

4122
02:30:59,990 --> 02:31:02,510
She inspires me like nothing else that ever

4123
02:31:02,510 --> 02:31:04,750
came close to.

4124
02:31:04,830 --> 02:31:07,030
Sadly, it seems it is not meant to

4125
02:31:07,030 --> 02:31:08,590
be at this moment of our lives.

4126
02:31:08,770 --> 02:31:10,430
Asking for a de-douching.

4127
02:31:12,130 --> 02:31:13,910
You've been de-douched.

4128
02:31:14,210 --> 02:31:15,650
In some relationship, karma.

4129
02:31:15,830 --> 02:31:18,470
Thanks for keeping me relatively sane.

4130
02:31:19,230 --> 02:31:21,210
Okay, relatively sane.

4131
02:31:21,270 --> 02:31:22,170
All the best.

4132
02:31:22,170 --> 02:31:24,470
Weird, it was spelled with a Y.

4133
02:31:25,010 --> 02:31:28,250
Weird wizard of Valparaiso, Indiana.

4134
02:31:30,370 --> 02:31:32,070
You've got karma.

4135
02:31:34,870 --> 02:31:36,830
Chris Balint.

4136
02:31:39,150 --> 02:31:41,510
He's in Parkville, Maryland.

4137
02:31:41,770 --> 02:31:45,050
$350.93. That's a $333.33 with fees.

4138
02:31:45,130 --> 02:31:47,050
I've been listening since 2020-21.

4139
02:31:47,510 --> 02:31:49,730
I very much appreciated you guys and the

4140
02:31:49,730 --> 02:31:50,390
work that you do.

4141
02:31:50,490 --> 02:31:52,670
I made my first donation of $33.33

4142
02:31:52,670 --> 02:31:53,750
a few years ago.

4143
02:31:54,230 --> 02:31:55,930
Here's a bit more value for the value

4144
02:31:55,930 --> 02:31:57,270
that you create for us all.

4145
02:31:57,690 --> 02:31:59,490
Shout-outs to my wife, Ann, who makes

4146
02:31:59,490 --> 02:32:01,950
living in the reality of the neo-post

4147
02:32:01,950 --> 02:32:03,970
-modern world so much better and funnier.

4148
02:32:04,270 --> 02:32:05,810
And to my friend, Jamie, for the initial

4149
02:32:05,810 --> 02:32:06,970
introduction to No Agenda.

4150
02:32:07,270 --> 02:32:09,350
My friend, Sir Jonathan of the Fan Mountain

4151
02:32:09,350 --> 02:32:10,030
Oognats.

4152
02:32:10,970 --> 02:32:12,710
And James A., the Jolly Wizard.

4153
02:32:12,830 --> 02:32:14,330
And of course, my friend and collaborator of

4154
02:32:14,330 --> 02:32:16,710
25-plus years, John B., a.k.a.

4155
02:32:17,150 --> 02:32:20,970
Snackmaster on Bandcamp, Escape the Mind Games, my

4156
02:32:20,970 --> 02:32:21,930
community of immunity.

4157
02:32:22,430 --> 02:32:23,790
You guys are all part of what makes

4158
02:32:23,790 --> 02:32:24,910
life worth living.

4159
02:32:25,110 --> 02:32:25,550
Oh, wow.

4160
02:32:25,790 --> 02:32:27,690
I also want to plug out there from

4161
02:32:27,690 --> 02:32:30,150
my dad, Bart Balint's book.

4162
02:32:30,490 --> 02:32:33,070
It's titled, The Giant Clam and Other Visions.

4163
02:32:33,990 --> 02:32:35,710
I had that vision one time.

4164
02:32:36,010 --> 02:32:36,950
It's available on Amazon.

4165
02:32:37,410 --> 02:32:38,970
He's been dealing with cancer for a number

4166
02:32:38,970 --> 02:32:41,170
of years and last year completed his memoir

4167
02:32:41,170 --> 02:32:42,750
of his life and experiences.

4168
02:32:42,930 --> 02:32:45,830
In my view, he is an extraordinary individual.

4169
02:32:45,830 --> 02:32:47,970
His birthday is August 28th.

4170
02:32:47,990 --> 02:32:51,250
Happy birthday, and thank you, Dad, for everything

4171
02:32:51,250 --> 02:32:52,050
from Chris.

4172
02:32:52,130 --> 02:32:52,930
Yeah, go get his book.

4173
02:32:53,010 --> 02:32:53,970
This sounds like a good one.

4174
02:32:54,150 --> 02:32:56,090
The Giant Clam and Other Visions.

4175
02:32:58,050 --> 02:33:00,830
Sir Baron Commodore, Ph.D., Guest Cadaver.

4176
02:33:01,990 --> 02:33:04,710
Is there really a place called Doom?

4177
02:33:05,030 --> 02:33:05,370
No, no.

4178
02:33:05,550 --> 02:33:08,730
It's Guest Cadaver, and it's Doorn.

4179
02:33:08,970 --> 02:33:09,870
It's an R-N-N.

4180
02:33:09,870 --> 02:33:10,690
That looks like Doom.

4181
02:33:10,830 --> 02:33:11,470
No, that's...

4182
02:33:11,470 --> 02:33:17,130
Doorn, Doorn Holland 34375.

4183
02:33:17,650 --> 02:33:21,130
ITM, Adam and John, no specific reason, just

4184
02:33:21,130 --> 02:33:24,450
a token of appreciation for your clarification and

4185
02:33:24,450 --> 02:33:28,750
exposure of the M5M idiocy and for bringing

4186
02:33:28,750 --> 02:33:30,770
it to the attention of all the producers,

4187
02:33:31,050 --> 02:33:34,390
douchebags, and non-donating profiteering listeners.

4188
02:33:35,550 --> 02:33:36,890
There's a sentence for you.

4189
02:33:37,010 --> 02:33:37,390
There it is.

4190
02:33:38,130 --> 02:33:43,770
Our appreciation is huge and shrinking our amygdala

4191
02:33:43,770 --> 02:33:45,910
is incredibly healthy for all of us.

4192
02:33:46,170 --> 02:33:48,670
Shout out to all the No Agenda producers

4193
02:33:48,670 --> 02:33:49,910
and communities.

4194
02:33:50,710 --> 02:33:52,750
Limousine will be ordered to pick up Sir

4195
02:33:52,750 --> 02:33:57,950
Baron Commodore, Ph.D. Guest Cadaver.

4196
02:33:59,950 --> 02:34:02,450
Hey, there's Eli the Coffee Guy from Bensonville,

4197
02:34:02,550 --> 02:34:04,350
Illinois, with 20824.

4198
02:34:04,630 --> 02:34:06,210
824, you know what he does.

4199
02:34:06,270 --> 02:34:07,630
He always adds the date in there.

4200
02:34:07,670 --> 02:34:09,110
He says, I'll keep it short and sweet.

4201
02:34:09,110 --> 02:34:11,630
I love that you guys called out John

4202
02:34:11,630 --> 02:34:12,950
Bolton as a fart sniffer.

4203
02:34:13,090 --> 02:34:14,210

4211
02:34:34,610 --> 02:34:34,950
note.

4212
02:34:35,410 --> 02:34:37,050
The note says, in the morning, Adam and

4213
02:34:37,050 --> 02:34:39,090
John, I first discovered the best podcast in

4214
02:34:39,090 --> 02:34:41,570
the universe back when John would unabashedly plug

4215
02:34:41,570 --> 02:34:43,330
No Agenda on This Week in Tech.

4216
02:34:43,850 --> 02:34:46,490

Alright, Scott.

4246
02:35:50,170 --> 02:35:51,410
Good luck with your app, man.

4247
02:35:51,630 --> 02:35:54,010
Hey, there's Linda Lupatkin from Lakewood, Colorado with

4248
02:35:54,010 --> 02:35:54,370
$200.

4249
02:35:54,730 --> 02:35:56,270
We know she wants jobs, Karma.

4250
02:35:56,370 --> 02:35:58,250
And she says, are you worried about AI?

4251
02:35:58,890 --> 02:36:00,850
For a resume that gets results, tells your

4252
02:36:00,850 --> 02:36:03,490
unique story, and highlights the value you bring,

4253
02:36:03,790 --> 02:36:05,510
go to ImageMakersInc.com.

4254
02:36:05,590 --> 02:36:07,770
That's ImageMakersInc with a K, and work with

4255
02:36:07,770 --> 02:36:09,990
Linda Lu, Duchess of Jobs, and writer of

4256
02:36:09,990 --> 02:36:10,810
winning resumes.

4257
02:36:11,250 --> 02:36:14,450
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4258
02:36:14,630 --> 02:36:16,110
Let's vote for jobs.

4259
02:36:16,950 --> 02:36:17,450
Karma.

4260
02:36:19,210 --> 02:36:22,570
And last on our list is Molly Landry

4261
02:36:22,570 --> 02:36:24,510
in Houston, Texas, 200.

4262
02:36:25,310 --> 02:36:27,430
This donation is in honor of my husband

4263
02:36:27,430 --> 02:36:29,490
Toby Landry's 40th birthday.

4264
02:36:30,210 --> 02:36:32,610
He's a regular listener of your show and

4265
02:36:32,610 --> 02:36:35,370
frequently mentions how it keeps him sane.

4266
02:36:35,610 --> 02:36:35,830
Nice.

4267
02:36:36,670 --> 02:36:39,350
He will be totally embarrassed by this, by

4268
02:36:39,350 --> 02:36:42,390
his name being mentioned on the air, so

4269
02:36:42,390 --> 02:36:44,470
please make sure to do so.

4270
02:36:45,250 --> 02:36:46,850
Well, you have done so, Molly.

4271
02:36:46,990 --> 02:36:47,130
He's on the list.

4272
02:36:47,270 --> 02:36:47,470
Yeah.

4273
02:36:47,650 --> 02:36:49,010
And he is on the list, indeed.

4274
02:36:49,130 --> 02:36:50,050
Thank you all very much.

4275
02:36:50,130 --> 02:36:52,110
And of course, we'll be thanking $50 and

4276
02:36:52,110 --> 02:36:54,930
above supporters of this episode in our second

4277
02:36:54,930 --> 02:36:56,330
break coming up in a little bit.

4278
02:36:56,490 --> 02:36:58,510
As always, we want to remind you that

4279
02:36:58,510 --> 02:37:00,590
these titles are real, can be used anywhere,

4280
02:37:00,770 --> 02:37:04,130
and of course, we now have some secretaries

4281
02:37:04,130 --> 02:37:07,250
general who we shall be congratulating and giving

4282
02:37:07,250 --> 02:37:11,130
their official, what is the, I guess, ceremony?

4283
02:37:11,430 --> 02:37:12,970
Is there, is there what do we have

4284
02:37:12,970 --> 02:37:14,230
for a secretary general?

4285
02:37:14,390 --> 02:37:14,730
What is it?

4286
02:37:14,770 --> 02:37:15,370
Is it a...

4287
02:37:15,370 --> 02:37:16,550
I think ceremony.

4288
02:37:17,070 --> 02:37:17,170
Ceremony?

4289
02:37:17,530 --> 02:37:18,570
Ceremony it is.

4290
02:37:18,910 --> 02:37:21,130
We'll be doing that, and you can always

4291
02:37:21,130 --> 02:37:23,330
support us any amount, any reason.

4292
02:37:23,570 --> 02:37:27,350
Usually it's for reasons of appreciation for the

4293
02:37:27,350 --> 02:37:28,510
value that you receive.

4294
02:37:28,670 --> 02:37:30,750

4295
02:37:30,750 --> 02:37:32,370
become a sustaining donor, very easy.

4296
02:37:32,750 --> 02:37:34,450
You can set it up, recurring donation, any

4297
02:37:34,450 --> 02:37:36,150
amount, any frequency, it's all up to you.

4298
02:37:36,230 --> 02:37:37,170
It's value for value.

4299
02:37:37,410 --> 02:37:40,110
Congratulations again to these executive producers.

4300
02:37:40,650 --> 02:37:42,010
Our formula is this.

4301
02:37:42,830 --> 02:37:45,130
We go out, we hit people in the

4302
02:37:45,130 --> 02:37:45,370
mouth.

4303
02:37:52,650 --> 02:37:55,230
I think that sounds pretty good.

4304
02:37:55,990 --> 02:37:57,850
Shut up, Steve.

4305
02:38:05,050 --> 02:38:06,250
Federal Reserve.

4306
02:38:06,550 --> 02:38:07,630
No, maybe not.

4307
02:38:08,070 --> 02:38:08,670
Federal Reserve.

4308
02:38:08,890 --> 02:38:11,010
Do you know Muhammad L.

4309
02:38:11,270 --> 02:38:11,570
Aryan?

4310
02:38:12,450 --> 02:38:12,750
No.

4311
02:38:13,070 --> 02:38:15,710
I do not know Muhammad L.

4312
02:38:15,870 --> 02:38:16,350
Aryan.

4313
02:38:16,490 --> 02:38:19,410
Well, Margaret Brennan had him on, and it

4314
02:38:19,410 --> 02:38:22,750
was in response to, I guess, the Friday,

4315
02:38:25,210 --> 02:38:26,350
was it I think it just went kaboomy,

4316
02:38:27,930 --> 02:38:28,550
kablooey.

4317
02:38:29,650 --> 02:38:31,530
Wasn't there a record close for the Dow

4318
02:38:31,530 --> 02:38:31,970
Jones?

4319
02:38:32,510 --> 02:38:32,750
Yeah.

4320
02:38:33,050 --> 02:38:35,270
And it was all based on this.

4321
02:38:36,310 --> 02:38:39,090
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell used Friday's speech

4322
02:38:39,090 --> 02:38:41,590
to signal the central bank is open to

4323
02:38:41,590 --> 02:38:44,690
cutting interest rates ahead of its next decision

4324
02:38:44,690 --> 02:38:45,610
in September.

4325
02:38:45,790 --> 02:38:48,090
The baseline outlook and the shifting balance of

4326
02:38:48,090 --> 02:38:51,310
risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance.

4327
02:38:51,670 --> 02:38:54,070
Powell, whose term as chair expires next May,

4328
02:38:54,250 --> 02:38:56,410
has faced intense pressure from President Trump to

4329
02:38:56,410 --> 02:38:57,430
lower interest rates.

4330
02:38:57,730 --> 02:39:00,770
He spoke today about continued economic uncertainty over

4331
02:39:00,770 --> 02:39:03,490
the administration's immigration and tariff policies.

4332
02:39:03,910 --> 02:39:06,290
This year, the economy has faced new challenges.

4333
02:39:06,950 --> 02:39:10,030
Significantly higher tariffs across our trading partners are

4334
02:39:10,030 --> 02:39:11,590
remaking the global trading system.

4335
02:39:12,070 --> 02:39:14,490
Tighter immigration policy has led to an abrupt

4336
02:39:14,490 --> 02:39:16,270
slowdown in labor force growth.

4337
02:39:16,830 --> 02:39:19,750
President Trump backed off previous threats to fire

4338
02:39:19,750 --> 02:39:22,970
Powell, but is now targeting another Fed board

4339
02:39:22,970 --> 02:39:24,410
member, Lisa Cook.

4340
02:39:24,490 --> 02:39:27,450
What she did was abandon her, so I'll

4341
02:39:27,450 --> 02:39:28,910
fire her if she doesn't resign.

4342
02:39:29,250 --> 02:39:31,530
Cook was appointed to the Fed's Board of

4343
02:39:31,530 --> 02:39:33,450
Governors by former President Biden.

4344
02:39:33,930 --> 02:39:36,850
This week, a Trump administration official accused her

4345
02:39:36,850 --> 02:39:39,470
of mortgage fraud and called for an investigation.

4346
02:39:39,870 --> 02:39:41,490
In a statement, Cook says she has no

4347
02:39:41,490 --> 02:39:43,050
intention of stepping down.

4348
02:39:43,210 --> 02:39:47,970
I love how this monumental sentence by Powell,

4349
02:39:48,330 --> 02:39:50,410
first I'm going to cut rates.

4350
02:39:51,130 --> 02:39:54,050
And then of course, Trump bad because someone

4351
02:39:54,050 --> 02:39:57,210
else one of her colleagues accused her of

4352
02:39:57,210 --> 02:40:00,430
mortgage fraud, which sounds pretty much par for

4353
02:40:00,430 --> 02:40:01,530
the course, I guess.

4354
02:40:03,410 --> 02:40:06,470
So Margaret Brennan had this Muhammad Al-Aryan

4355
02:40:06,470 --> 02:40:06,970
guy on.

4356
02:40:07,070 --> 02:40:08,890
I guess he's a big bond dude according

4357
02:40:08,890 --> 02:40:10,930
to the trolls in the know.

4358
02:40:12,190 --> 02:40:13,710
And here's what he had to say.

4359
02:40:13,770 --> 02:40:15,290
We turn now to the US economy.

4360
02:40:15,610 --> 02:40:18,030
Muhammad Al-Aryan is the chief economic advisor

4361
02:40:18,030 --> 02:40:19,790
at Allianz and he joins us this morning

4362
02:40:19,790 --> 02:40:20,970
from Greenwich, Connecticut.

4363
02:40:21,230 --> 02:40:22,050
Good morning to you.

4364
02:40:22,250 --> 02:40:23,790
It's from Allianz in Connecticut.

4365
02:40:24,030 --> 02:40:24,630
Good morning, Margaret.

4366
02:40:24,930 --> 02:40:28,050
So we saw the Federal Reserve chair signal

4367
02:40:28,050 --> 02:40:30,930
on Friday that the Fed is going to,

4368
02:40:31,110 --> 02:40:34,730
as expected, begin lowering rates very soon.

4369
02:40:35,150 --> 02:40:38,430
But he's also cited slowing economic growth and

4370
02:40:38,430 --> 02:40:39,790
a cooling job market.

4371
02:40:40,450 --> 02:40:44,310
So why then did the financial markets rally?

4372
02:40:44,310 --> 02:40:46,370
What is with the laugh tale, Margaret?

4373
02:40:46,510 --> 02:40:47,130
That's not needed.

4374
02:40:47,310 --> 02:40:50,230
Because he finally pivoted to the risk that

4375
02:40:50,230 --> 02:40:52,330
matters most for the US economy right now.

4376
02:40:53,270 --> 02:40:55,470
By construct, the Fed has to deliver two

4377
02:40:55,470 --> 02:40:55,870
things.

4378
02:40:56,370 --> 02:40:58,890
Maximum employment and price stability.

4379
02:40:59,690 --> 02:41:01,990
And the Fed is looking at slightly higher

4380
02:41:01,990 --> 02:41:04,430
inflation and a weakening labor market.

4381
02:41:05,010 --> 02:41:07,910
And what Powell finally did, and many of

4382
02:41:07,910 --> 02:41:09,490
us feel he should have done this earlier,

4383
02:41:09,990 --> 02:41:11,830
is he said the risk to the employment

4384
02:41:11,830 --> 02:41:14,650
side is higher than the risk to the

4385
02:41:14,650 --> 02:41:15,490
inflation side.

4386
02:41:15,970 --> 02:41:18,290
And therefore an interest rate cut is warranted.

4387
02:41:18,430 --> 02:41:20,010
As you know, many of us felt he

4388
02:41:20,010 --> 02:41:21,410
should have cut last month.

4389
02:41:21,830 --> 02:41:23,630
Sounds like he's a Trump guy.

4390
02:41:24,070 --> 02:41:25,350
I don't even know why she has him

4391
02:41:25,350 --> 02:41:25,670
on.

4392
02:41:26,750 --> 02:41:28,730
He's saying what the president has been saying

4393
02:41:28,730 --> 02:41:29,610
for a long time.

4394
02:41:30,370 --> 02:41:34,150
The Fed chair said significantly higher tariffs are

4395
02:41:34,150 --> 02:41:36,470
remaking the entire global trade system.

4396
02:41:37,130 --> 02:41:40,210
Tighter immigration policy has slowed labor growth.

4397
02:41:40,210 --> 02:41:42,890
And there are big tax and regulation changes

4398
02:41:42,890 --> 02:41:45,270
you can't quite quantify at this point.

4399
02:41:45,830 --> 02:41:47,410
But it's a lot of uncertainty.

4400
02:41:47,970 --> 02:41:50,450
Since economists have to build off of models

4401
02:41:50,450 --> 02:41:53,210
and data, how do you predict where we're

4402
02:41:53,210 --> 02:41:56,070
going if basically he's saying, throw out your

4403
02:41:56,070 --> 02:41:56,450
models?

4404
02:41:57,330 --> 02:41:58,930
She's laughing again.

4405
02:41:59,710 --> 02:42:04,790
Did you notice that she said it was

4406
02:42:04,790 --> 02:42:06,370
a self-contradictory statement.

4407
02:42:06,470 --> 02:42:11,810
She says the slower migration or no migration

4408
02:42:11,810 --> 02:42:14,430
is creating a tighter labor market.

4409
02:42:14,990 --> 02:42:15,990
Is that what she said?

4410
02:42:16,850 --> 02:42:18,690
Yes, something was just completely wrong.

4411
02:42:19,330 --> 02:42:22,710
Tighter immigration policy has slowed labor growth.

4412
02:42:23,090 --> 02:42:26,750
Tighter immigration policy has slowed labor growth.

4413
02:42:28,070 --> 02:42:32,050
So Powell is worried about labor slowdown.

4414
02:42:32,830 --> 02:42:35,850
Is labor growth slowed because of the lack

4415
02:42:35,850 --> 02:42:36,910
of cheap labor?

4416
02:42:37,290 --> 02:42:38,230
Does that make sense?

4417
02:42:38,330 --> 02:42:39,510
Cheap illegal labor.

4418
02:42:41,310 --> 02:42:43,910
Illegal labor is ruining the country.

4419
02:42:44,030 --> 02:42:45,710
Yeah, I think so.

4420
02:42:45,970 --> 02:42:47,470
So one of the problems is he hasn't

4421
02:42:47,470 --> 02:42:48,470
looked forward enough.

4422
02:42:48,630 --> 02:42:51,850
He's been very data dependent and therefore he

4423
02:42:51,850 --> 02:42:52,910
has tended to be late.

4424
02:42:53,530 --> 02:42:56,150
Look, there is something promising in our future

4425
02:42:56,150 --> 02:43:00,050
and that is productivity enhancement that comes from

4426
02:43:00,050 --> 02:43:04,010
exciting innovation in AI and life sciences and

4427
02:43:04,010 --> 02:43:05,150
robotics and other areas.

4428
02:43:05,550 --> 02:43:08,710
We just have to manage a challenging few

4429
02:43:08,710 --> 02:43:09,930
months in the period ahead.

4430
02:43:10,170 --> 02:43:14,050
And if that challenge is mishandled, we will

4431
02:43:14,050 --> 02:43:15,930
not be able to get the opportunities that

4432
02:43:15,930 --> 02:43:18,430
we have that offset a lot of structural

4433
02:43:18,970 --> 02:43:21,190
headwinds and that includes high debt and high

4434
02:43:21,190 --> 02:43:21,610
deficits.

4435
02:43:23,510 --> 02:43:24,030
What?

4436
02:43:24,610 --> 02:43:25,870
She's like, I don't know.

4437
02:43:26,610 --> 02:43:28,390
So what does this mean, John?

4438
02:43:28,470 --> 02:43:30,150
Does this mean we'll be printing money again?

4439
02:43:30,150 --> 02:43:31,330
What does this mean?

4440
02:43:31,510 --> 02:43:32,490
It doesn't mean anything.

4441
02:43:32,590 --> 02:43:33,290
It's just blathers.

4442
02:43:33,470 --> 02:43:34,930
Typical financial stuff.

4443
02:43:35,050 --> 02:43:36,330
They just talk, talk, talk.

4444
02:43:36,910 --> 02:43:39,350
You know, anything that benefits the markets, the

4445
02:43:39,350 --> 02:43:41,330
stock market specifically, is great.

4446
02:43:41,930 --> 02:43:43,910
So there's an interesting...

4447
02:43:43,910 --> 02:43:48,310
One of the big AI product companies that

4448
02:43:48,310 --> 02:43:49,590
provides...

4449
02:43:49,590 --> 02:43:51,010
I don't know if I'm allowed to say

4450
02:43:51,010 --> 02:43:51,710
who this is.

4451
02:43:52,010 --> 02:43:52,790
Alright, I'll say it.

4452
02:43:53,670 --> 02:43:57,390
But it's a company that is very heavily

4453
02:43:57,390 --> 02:44:02,510
into AI and they decided to eat their

4454
02:44:02,510 --> 02:44:04,490
own dog food, which is an old term

4455
02:44:04,490 --> 02:44:06,030
that used to be used in Silicon Valley.

4456
02:44:06,190 --> 02:44:09,370
Did they use AI for their company balance

4457
02:44:09,370 --> 02:44:09,630
sheet?

4458
02:44:10,570 --> 02:44:11,170
No.

4459
02:44:11,390 --> 02:44:14,650
They decided to take 1,000 people that

4460
02:44:14,650 --> 02:44:17,690
work there and have them study their use

4461
02:44:17,690 --> 02:44:19,690
of AI to see what effect it had

4462
02:44:19,690 --> 02:44:20,490
on productivity.

4463
02:44:21,430 --> 02:44:24,310
And it probably degraded productivity.

4464
02:44:24,310 --> 02:44:26,130
No, it did nothing.

4465
02:44:27,350 --> 02:44:28,470
Nothing at all?

4466
02:44:29,130 --> 02:44:30,270
Nothing at all.

4467
02:44:30,370 --> 02:44:31,390
One way or the other.

4468
02:44:31,970 --> 02:44:34,710
And you got this from Buzzkill Jr.?

4469
02:44:34,710 --> 02:44:35,110
Yeah.

4470
02:44:35,650 --> 02:44:37,390
You don't have to say it.

4471
02:44:38,010 --> 02:44:39,930
So nothing at all happened.

4472
02:44:40,570 --> 02:44:44,130
And so the CEO is concerned about this.

4473
02:44:44,410 --> 02:44:46,310
It's like, what's the point?

4474
02:44:47,790 --> 02:44:50,810
And so more studies are expected from different

4475
02:44:50,810 --> 02:44:52,310
companies to see what kind of...

4476
02:44:52,310 --> 02:44:53,770
If AI...

4477
02:44:53,770 --> 02:44:56,490
Because it's, oh, yeah, use AI, you can

4478
02:44:56,490 --> 02:44:57,370
increase your productivity.

4479
02:44:57,550 --> 02:44:58,990
And it shows, I think it does increase

4480
02:44:58,990 --> 02:45:01,410
productivity with, for example, our artists.

4481
02:45:02,310 --> 02:45:04,170
But it doesn't mean that it's good.

4482
02:45:04,330 --> 02:45:04,610
No.

4483
02:45:05,050 --> 02:45:08,790
But if we were a commercial operation and

4484
02:45:08,790 --> 02:45:12,030
we were looking for commercial viable art, we

4485
02:45:12,030 --> 02:45:14,690
would pretty much say no to everybody.

4486
02:45:15,570 --> 02:45:16,970
So they would have to go back and

4487
02:45:16,970 --> 02:45:17,590
do it anyway.

4488
02:45:19,390 --> 02:45:20,810
Well, anyway, something's amiss.

4489
02:45:21,450 --> 02:45:24,770
And he says that this is why Altman

4490
02:45:24,770 --> 02:45:26,930
came out with his commentary about, well, you

4491
02:45:26,930 --> 02:45:28,610
know, maybe we've gone too far, there's a

4492
02:45:28,610 --> 02:45:29,670
bubble, blah, blah, blah.

4493
02:45:30,210 --> 02:45:32,090
Because he doesn't want to get blamed for

4494
02:45:32,090 --> 02:45:35,850
when it finally starts to appear that AI

4495
02:45:35,850 --> 02:45:39,190
is a dud insofar as really being of

4496
02:45:39,190 --> 02:45:41,650
use in terms of productivity.

4497
02:45:41,990 --> 02:45:42,930
I mean, it's fun.

4498
02:45:43,110 --> 02:45:44,070
It's very fun.

4499
02:45:44,550 --> 02:45:45,330
It's fun.

4500
02:45:45,430 --> 02:45:46,950
You have fun with it more than anybody.

4501
02:45:46,950 --> 02:45:47,830
I've got lots of fun.

4502
02:45:48,330 --> 02:45:50,930
It's fun, but it's not productive necessarily.

4503
02:45:51,650 --> 02:45:54,270
And it's going to be a...

4504
02:45:54,270 --> 02:45:57,590
He's now my son who's an AI.

4505
02:45:58,150 --> 02:45:59,910
He's on board with your thinking.

4506
02:46:00,770 --> 02:46:02,750
Which is the end is near.

4507
02:46:03,050 --> 02:46:04,710
AI winter is coming.

4508
02:46:05,470 --> 02:46:06,710
But I also...

4509
02:46:06,710 --> 02:46:07,810
What's his timeline?

4510
02:46:07,950 --> 02:46:09,230
Did he give you a timeline on when

4511
02:46:09,230 --> 02:46:09,830
he thinks it's going to happen?

4512
02:46:10,330 --> 02:46:13,170
I threw back at him his own thoughts

4513
02:46:13,170 --> 02:46:16,090
earlier about jumping the shark and after jumping

4514
02:46:16,090 --> 02:46:17,870
the shark, you have a period of time,

4515
02:46:18,010 --> 02:46:19,730
a two or three year period before it

4516
02:46:19,730 --> 02:46:20,830
actually anything really is.

4517
02:46:21,270 --> 02:46:22,390
It's just a marker.

4518
02:46:23,010 --> 02:46:24,470
And I said, when is it jump the

4519
02:46:24,470 --> 02:46:25,990
shark that you're going to get the marker

4520
02:46:25,990 --> 02:46:27,210
you're always talking about?

4521
02:46:27,510 --> 02:46:28,710
And so he can't.

4522
02:46:28,890 --> 02:46:29,890
So he doesn't have it?

4523
02:46:30,050 --> 02:46:30,910
It's not happening tomorrow.

4524
02:46:31,070 --> 02:46:31,630
Let's put it that way.

4525
02:46:31,710 --> 02:46:32,770
No, it won't happen tomorrow.

4526
02:46:33,010 --> 02:46:34,470
It will happen when...

4527
02:46:34,470 --> 02:46:35,750
He says three years.

4528
02:46:35,970 --> 02:46:38,110
It'll happen when people actually have to pay

4529
02:46:38,110 --> 02:46:41,510
the actual cost of this stuff.

4530
02:46:42,030 --> 02:46:43,090
That's when it's going to happen.

4531
02:46:43,390 --> 02:46:45,650
And I think open AI is starting to

4532
02:46:45,650 --> 02:46:49,190
show those signs where $200 a month and

4533
02:46:49,190 --> 02:46:51,750
you still get limited on chat GPT-5

4534
02:46:51,750 --> 02:46:55,690
and it's getting pricey now.

4535
02:46:56,450 --> 02:46:58,530
There is one other AI story that I

4536
02:46:58,530 --> 02:47:00,910
just wanted to put on your radar because

4537
02:47:00,910 --> 02:47:03,710
you also watch YouTube from time to time.

4538
02:47:03,770 --> 02:47:07,130
There's a lot of YouTubers who are claiming

4539
02:47:07,130 --> 02:47:12,250
and circumstantial evidence shows it that when they

4540
02:47:12,250 --> 02:47:17,570
upload video to the YouTubes that what comes

4541
02:47:17,570 --> 02:47:23,460
back excuse me, what comes back appears to

4542
02:47:23,460 --> 02:47:25,960
be AI upscaled is what they're saying.

4543
02:47:26,540 --> 02:47:31,120
And what it really means is everything looks

4544
02:47:31,120 --> 02:47:32,360
kind of AI-ish.

4545
02:47:34,180 --> 02:47:37,300
You know, it's like enhanced, hair looks more

4546
02:47:37,300 --> 02:47:37,700
enhanced.

4547
02:47:37,880 --> 02:47:40,080
It looks kind of, you know how Scaramangas

4548
02:47:40,080 --> 02:47:43,420
videos look kind of slick and slimy and

4549
02:47:43,420 --> 02:47:44,260
then glossy.

4550
02:47:44,960 --> 02:47:46,360
You know what I mean, right?

4551
02:47:46,740 --> 02:47:48,480
AI has a certain look.

4552
02:47:48,720 --> 02:47:49,160
There's a look.

4553
02:47:49,700 --> 02:47:52,280
And they're all saying they're AI upscaling.

4554
02:47:52,560 --> 02:47:56,680
What I think is happening is that YouTube

4555
02:47:56,680 --> 02:47:58,380
has had to, or Google has had to

4556
02:47:58,380 --> 02:48:00,800
change so much of their architecture to do

4557
02:48:00,800 --> 02:48:04,160
all this generative AI stuff that they've had

4558
02:48:04,160 --> 02:48:06,860
to take all of their YouTube encoding machines

4559
02:48:06,860 --> 02:48:12,640
and make them AI generative friendly just to

4560
02:48:12,640 --> 02:48:13,860
be able to handle the load.

4561
02:48:13,960 --> 02:48:14,920
And they're like, well, screw it.

4562
02:48:14,920 --> 02:48:16,480
We'll just make everything look that way.

4563
02:48:17,320 --> 02:48:18,880
I would have a different take.

4564
02:48:19,080 --> 02:48:19,720
What's your take?

4565
02:48:22,280 --> 02:48:24,840
That somebody a bean counter said, can we

4566
02:48:24,840 --> 02:48:28,000
make these files smaller and look better?

4567
02:48:28,300 --> 02:48:28,840
Well, it's the same thing.

4568
02:48:29,860 --> 02:48:31,020
Yeah, I know, but it's for a different

4569
02:48:31,020 --> 02:48:31,440
reason.

4570
02:48:31,520 --> 02:48:33,160
The reason is it's overhead.

4571
02:48:33,520 --> 02:48:34,940
No, no, it's the same reason.

4572
02:48:34,940 --> 02:48:37,620
We needed the machine, so just do it

4573
02:48:37,620 --> 02:48:38,380
all this way.

4574
02:48:38,820 --> 02:48:40,960
So let's shrink these things and make them

4575
02:48:40,960 --> 02:48:41,520
look good.

4576
02:48:41,840 --> 02:48:42,260
Shrunk.

4577
02:48:42,800 --> 02:48:44,620
So the file size is smaller.

4578
02:48:45,440 --> 02:48:48,160
And we can free up some space on

4579
02:48:48,160 --> 02:48:49,740
our drives.

4580
02:48:51,760 --> 02:48:53,920
Hey, man, our drive's getting full here.

4581
02:48:54,000 --> 02:48:55,060
Let's free up some space.

4582
02:48:55,640 --> 02:48:56,900
AI, all that stuff.

4583
02:48:57,460 --> 02:48:58,760
Let's just go for it.

4584
02:48:58,820 --> 02:48:59,440
We can do it.

4585
02:48:59,560 --> 02:49:00,140
We can do it.

4586
02:49:00,840 --> 02:49:01,060
Yeah.

4587
02:49:01,060 --> 02:49:02,140
All right.

4588
02:49:03,100 --> 02:49:04,500
I'll keep my eye on that.

4589
02:49:04,780 --> 02:49:06,820
I haven't really caught him in the wild.

4590
02:49:07,060 --> 02:49:09,180
I have not seen any evidence of this,

4591
02:49:09,300 --> 02:49:11,440
but I don't watch enough, I guess.

4592
02:49:11,820 --> 02:49:12,680
No, neither do I.

4593
02:49:15,100 --> 02:49:16,440
This was interesting.

4594
02:49:16,620 --> 02:49:18,000
There's some DEI stuff.

4595
02:49:18,980 --> 02:49:21,200
This was kind of an interesting take.

4596
02:49:21,400 --> 02:49:23,520
This is, I believe, I'm not sure which

4597
02:49:23,520 --> 02:49:24,540
network this is from.

4598
02:49:24,760 --> 02:49:26,960
Target CEO now plans to step down after

4599
02:49:26,960 --> 02:49:29,100
struggling to turn around weak sales.

4600
02:49:29,100 --> 02:49:32,120
Brian Cornell announced today that he would leave

4601
02:49:32,120 --> 02:49:34,700
the position on February 1st after 11 years

4602
02:49:34,700 --> 02:49:35,260
at the helm.

4603
02:49:35,780 --> 02:49:37,920
He will be replaced by Target's chief operating

4604
02:49:37,920 --> 02:49:38,340
officer.

4605
02:49:38,900 --> 02:49:40,820
The change in leadership comes at the same

4606
02:49:40,820 --> 02:49:44,020
time Target reported another quarter of sluggish results.

4607
02:49:44,520 --> 02:49:46,960
The company has seen flat or declining sales

4608
02:49:46,960 --> 02:49:49,360
in eight out of the past ten quarters.

4609
02:49:49,960 --> 02:49:51,540
The retail giant was the target of a

4610
02:49:51,540 --> 02:49:55,000
nationwide boycott several months ago after backtracking on

4611
02:49:55,000 --> 02:49:56,560
its DEI initiatives.

4612
02:49:56,560 --> 02:49:59,420
So this report leads me to believe that

4613
02:49:59,420 --> 02:50:03,020
people are not going to Target because they

4614
02:50:03,020 --> 02:50:05,600
got rid of their back to school rainbow

4615
02:50:05,600 --> 02:50:06,120
stuff.

4616
02:50:07,400 --> 02:50:08,960
I think this is true.

4617
02:50:09,220 --> 02:50:12,280
And I've always been, on the DHM Plug

4618
02:50:12,280 --> 02:50:15,440
Show, I've always condemned Target for being too

4619
02:50:15,440 --> 02:50:17,860
woke and ruining the business, and the CEO

4620
02:50:17,860 --> 02:50:18,520
has to quit.

4621
02:50:19,020 --> 02:50:20,640
And I've been saying this for years, and

4622
02:50:20,640 --> 02:50:21,620
now these guys quit.

4623
02:50:21,680 --> 02:50:22,820
It'll be interesting to see what happens.

4624
02:50:22,840 --> 02:50:24,480
Although he didn't really fully quit.

4625
02:50:24,480 --> 02:50:26,940
He's been boosted to chairman of the board,

4626
02:50:27,020 --> 02:50:28,640
and they brought in his COO as the

4627
02:50:28,640 --> 02:50:30,540
new CEO, so it's probably going to be

4628
02:50:30,540 --> 02:50:32,080
the same, I'm guessing.

4629
02:50:32,680 --> 02:50:35,300
But, you know, everybody's handled this poorly except

4630
02:50:35,300 --> 02:50:35,840
Costco.

4631
02:50:37,520 --> 02:50:41,200
Costco is the only operation that avoided this

4632
02:50:41,200 --> 02:50:43,640
dilemma, which is what we have here at

4633
02:50:43,640 --> 02:50:46,960
Target, by Costco saying, we're not changing any

4634
02:50:46,960 --> 02:50:48,520
of our DEI policies.

4635
02:50:49,500 --> 02:50:51,540
We're going to stay the course.

4636
02:50:51,540 --> 02:50:55,380
They don't really have any DEI policies, so

4637
02:50:55,380 --> 02:50:56,880
they're just this bull crap.

4638
02:50:56,900 --> 02:50:59,060
They barely have any people working on the

4639
02:50:59,060 --> 02:50:59,380
floor.

4640
02:50:59,740 --> 02:51:02,080
They have people, but they don't have that

4641
02:51:02,080 --> 02:51:02,180
many.

4642
02:51:02,180 --> 02:51:03,540
Yeah, they're handing out snacks.

4643
02:51:04,180 --> 02:51:05,240
Would you like a cracker?

4644
02:51:05,840 --> 02:51:07,880
So they did the best job of it

4645
02:51:07,880 --> 02:51:10,900
by saying they're not changing anything, and so

4646
02:51:10,900 --> 02:51:13,280
a bunch of these pressure groups, and there's

4647
02:51:13,280 --> 02:51:14,940
one group in particular, a new one that

4648
02:51:14,940 --> 02:51:17,080
just came around, I don't know, I don't

4649
02:51:17,080 --> 02:51:18,620
have a clip of him, but a new

4650
02:51:18,620 --> 02:51:22,740
guy who's in the footsteps of Jesse Jackson

4651
02:51:22,740 --> 02:51:26,840
and Al Sharpton's another guy, another pastor, and

4652
02:51:26,840 --> 02:51:28,920
he's the one creating, going to create a

4653
02:51:28,920 --> 02:51:32,840
he's creating boycotts against Target and the old

4654
02:51:33,900 --> 02:51:37,040
extortion scam that works.

4655
02:51:37,740 --> 02:51:38,160
It's good.

4656
02:51:38,480 --> 02:51:39,140
It works.

4657
02:51:39,220 --> 02:51:40,100
It's a great gig.

4658
02:51:40,580 --> 02:51:41,480
It's great.

4659
02:51:41,560 --> 02:51:44,420
Well, the other DEI news was President Trump

4660
02:51:44,420 --> 02:51:45,320
and the Smithsonian.

4661
02:51:45,860 --> 02:51:47,980
This country cannot be woke because woke is

4662
02:51:47,980 --> 02:51:50,020
broke, wrote U.S. President Donald Trump on

4663
02:51:50,020 --> 02:51:51,840
his website, TruthSocial Tuesday.

4664
02:51:52,300 --> 02:51:54,700
The latest target in his administration's culture war?

4665
02:51:54,960 --> 02:51:58,800
The Smithsonian Institution, which encompasses 21 museums, 14

4666
02:51:58,800 --> 02:52:01,220
education and research centers, and the National Zoo,

4667
02:52:01,520 --> 02:52:04,400
mostly located in Washington, D.C. The museums

4668
02:52:04,400 --> 02:52:06,980
throughout Washington, but all over the country, are

4669
02:52:06,980 --> 02:52:09,660
essentially the last remaining segment of woke.

4670
02:52:10,040 --> 02:52:12,660
The Smithsonian is out of control, for everything

4671
02:52:12,660 --> 02:52:15,140
discussed is how horrible our country is, how

4672
02:52:15,140 --> 02:52:18,580
bad slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden

4673
02:52:18,580 --> 02:52:19,040
have been.

4674
02:52:19,480 --> 02:52:22,340
Nothing about success, nothing about brightness, nothing about

4675
02:52:22,340 --> 02:52:22,880
the future.

4676
02:52:23,360 --> 02:52:26,380
Traditionally, the Smithsonian has operated with independence.

4677
02:52:26,840 --> 02:52:30,180
The administration first targeted the historic educational institution

4678
02:52:30,180 --> 02:52:33,040
in a 27 March executive order, which sought

4679
02:52:33,040 --> 02:52:35,060
to rid it of a so-called divisive

4680
02:52:35,060 --> 02:52:36,540
race-centered ideology.

4681
02:52:36,900 --> 02:52:38,760
On August 12th, the White House sent a

4682
02:52:38,760 --> 02:52:41,180
letter to the institution announcing its intentions to

4683
02:52:41,180 --> 02:52:42,880
start the process by formal review.

4684
02:52:42,880 --> 02:52:45,820
Tuesday, Trump said his lawyers would begin.

4685
02:52:46,140 --> 02:52:47,660
We are not going to allow this to

4686
02:52:47,660 --> 02:52:49,940
happen, and I've instructed my attorneys to go

4687
02:52:49,940 --> 02:52:52,200
through the museums and start the exact same

4688
02:52:52,200 --> 02:52:54,320
process that has been done with colleges and

4689
02:52:54,320 --> 02:52:57,080
universities where tremendous progress has been made.

4690
02:52:57,460 --> 02:52:58,900
This is not the first time the Trump

4691
02:52:58,900 --> 02:53:01,520
administration has attempted to purge policies and ideas

4692
02:53:01,520 --> 02:53:03,780
it deems too progressive or favoring minorities.

4693
02:53:04,200 --> 02:53:06,700
A 20 January executive order took aim at

4694
02:53:06,700 --> 02:53:09,780
DEI, or Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs in

4695
02:53:09,780 --> 02:53:11,860
the government, universities, and across the nation.

4696
02:53:12,180 --> 02:53:14,820
Just nine days later, the Smithsonian Institution announced

4697
02:53:14,820 --> 02:53:16,640
it would end its Office of Diversity.

4698
02:53:17,600 --> 02:53:18,780
How much money?

4699
02:53:19,100 --> 02:53:21,580
You know, art can be anything, and I'm

4700
02:53:21,580 --> 02:53:22,020
fine.

4701
02:53:22,500 --> 02:53:25,520
Do whatever you want when it comes to

4702
02:53:25,520 --> 02:53:26,880
art, but when it's...

4703
02:53:27,620 --> 02:53:29,660
Well, the Smithsonian's not really an art museum.

4704
02:53:30,840 --> 02:53:32,100
No, no.

4705
02:53:33,220 --> 02:53:36,500
But they receive over a billion dollars in

4706
02:53:36,500 --> 02:53:37,820
federal grants.

4707
02:53:38,360 --> 02:53:39,200
Yeah, they're all upset.

4708
02:53:39,340 --> 02:53:40,700
I have a clip that you have to

4709
02:53:40,700 --> 02:53:41,940
look up in the database.

4710
02:53:42,120 --> 02:53:43,000
It's from show 90.

4711
02:53:43,120 --> 02:53:44,800
It's the Smithsonian supercut.

4712
02:53:45,760 --> 02:53:47,400
And it has to do with everybody bitching

4713
02:53:47,400 --> 02:53:48,580
and moaning about what Trump wants to do

4714
02:53:48,580 --> 02:53:50,240
with the Smithsonian, and this is a bunch

4715
02:53:50,240 --> 02:53:50,740
of people.

4716
02:53:51,860 --> 02:53:54,040
Everyone's against it because, you know, heaven forbid

4717
02:53:54,040 --> 02:53:56,140
that we change and make the story a

4718
02:53:56,140 --> 02:53:57,080
positive story.

4719
02:53:57,500 --> 02:53:59,060
I learned in history class that this is

4720
02:53:59,060 --> 02:54:00,320
how authoritarians operate.

4721
02:54:00,660 --> 02:54:02,220
They take over the arts, they take over

4722
02:54:02,220 --> 02:54:03,680
the culture, they take over the museums.

4723
02:54:03,820 --> 02:54:06,640
Purging history and pill-free museums is pretty

4724
02:54:06,640 --> 02:54:09,320
high up on the autocratic checklist.

4725
02:54:09,700 --> 02:54:11,260
I'd be worried about the Black Lives Matter

4726
02:54:11,260 --> 02:54:11,680
exhibit.

4727
02:54:11,880 --> 02:54:14,140
Others would say this sounds like a Stalinist

4728
02:54:14,140 --> 02:54:14,720
purge.

4729
02:54:14,840 --> 02:54:17,680
All of these things together hearken to a

4730
02:54:17,680 --> 02:54:19,680
lot of people, to the kind of countries

4731
02:54:19,680 --> 02:54:22,840
that Vladimir Putin would feel very comfortable.

4732
02:54:22,980 --> 02:54:26,280
This has just kind of a Soviet feel

4733
02:54:26,280 --> 02:54:28,460
to it, a Stalinist feel to it.

4734
02:54:28,760 --> 02:54:28,980
Yeah.

4735
02:54:29,240 --> 02:54:31,440
Well, all I saw was, and that was

4736
02:54:31,440 --> 02:54:33,160
in the New York Times, they were very

4737
02:54:33,160 --> 02:54:38,920
upset about the painting of, it was like

4738
02:54:38,920 --> 02:54:43,320
a black trans woman as the Statue of

4739
02:54:43,320 --> 02:54:43,740
Liberty.

4740
02:54:45,940 --> 02:54:47,400
Yeah, there you go.

4741
02:54:47,600 --> 02:54:49,740
All right.

4742
02:54:50,400 --> 02:54:51,100
Yeah.

4743
02:54:52,180 --> 02:54:56,140
A black trans woman as the Statue of

4744
02:54:56,140 --> 02:54:56,340
Liberty.

4745
02:54:56,420 --> 02:54:59,580
Oh yeah, with the torches, some flowers, and

4746
02:54:59,580 --> 02:54:59,840
yeah.

4747
02:55:00,360 --> 02:55:01,800
Typical kind of stuff.

4748
02:55:03,240 --> 02:55:04,420
Entertaining, but yeah.

4749
02:55:04,600 --> 02:55:05,340
It's out of control.

4750
02:55:05,720 --> 02:55:07,540
Yeah, it is a little bit out of

4751
02:55:07,540 --> 02:55:07,920
control.

4752
02:55:10,980 --> 02:55:12,600
I have a couple of clips.

4753
02:55:12,740 --> 02:55:15,140
I got the, I want to play this

4754
02:55:15,140 --> 02:55:15,440
clip.

4755
02:55:15,580 --> 02:55:18,520
This is what galls me personally because I'm

4756
02:55:18,520 --> 02:55:20,820
the one, I am the writer in the

4757
02:55:20,820 --> 02:55:23,800
late 80s who uncovered the fact that it

4758
02:55:23,800 --> 02:55:29,140
was Seuss who invented, Dr. Seuss who invented

4759
02:55:29,140 --> 02:55:32,080
the word nerd in 1950 in a book

4760
02:55:32,080 --> 02:55:33,720
that he wrote called If I Ran the

4761
02:55:33,720 --> 02:55:33,960
Zoo.

4762
02:55:34,280 --> 02:55:36,040
I think we've talked about this on the

4763
02:55:36,040 --> 02:55:36,400
show.

4764
02:55:37,160 --> 02:55:37,380
Yeah.

4765
02:55:37,680 --> 02:55:40,320
Yeah, we have, and it used to be

4766
02:55:40,320 --> 02:55:42,920
nerd was always assumed before I wrote about

4767
02:55:42,920 --> 02:55:44,640
this, and it got good coverage, and it

4768
02:55:44,640 --> 02:55:48,000
changed a bunch of dictionaries, because before I

4769
02:55:48,000 --> 02:55:49,700
wrote about this, it was always said, well,

4770
02:55:49,820 --> 02:55:54,000
it's, it was a diminution of the term

4771
02:55:54,000 --> 02:55:55,660
ne'er do well.

4772
02:55:55,820 --> 02:55:57,780
Ah, yes, I remember this.

4773
02:55:57,780 --> 02:55:59,620
And that was nerd, but no, it wasn't

4774
02:55:59,620 --> 02:56:00,120
it at all.

4775
02:56:00,220 --> 02:56:03,680
It was this, this looking, this nerdy character,

4776
02:56:03,900 --> 02:56:06,000
this nerd character that was in the book

4777
02:56:06,000 --> 02:56:10,040
who looked exactly like a AI guy back

4778
02:56:10,040 --> 02:56:11,240
in the day called McCarthy.

4779
02:56:11,420 --> 02:56:12,220
It looked just like him.

4780
02:56:14,640 --> 02:56:17,440
So, NPR decides to do a rundown on

4781
02:56:17,440 --> 02:56:17,600
this.

4782
02:56:17,980 --> 02:56:19,800
Of course, I have, I get zero credit,

4783
02:56:19,900 --> 02:56:21,580
and they assume that this is, they leave

4784
02:56:21,580 --> 02:56:22,700
a lot of good stuff out.

4785
02:56:23,160 --> 02:56:25,920
Of course, I'm, you know, I don't expect

4786
02:56:25,920 --> 02:56:28,100
to get credit from NPR for doing anything,

4787
02:56:28,560 --> 02:56:30,620
as you never even get credit for inventing

4788
02:56:30,620 --> 02:56:33,740
podcasting, and it's rare that you get invited

4789
02:56:33,740 --> 02:56:35,680
anywhere, but this is a common complaint that

4790
02:56:35,680 --> 02:56:38,740
we have, the two of us, about people,

4791
02:56:38,880 --> 02:56:40,140
their memory, and all the rest of it,

4792
02:56:40,180 --> 02:56:42,200
and so I found this very irritating to

4793
02:56:42,200 --> 02:56:45,160
listen to this nerd report on NPR.

4794
02:56:45,300 --> 02:56:47,880
What comes to mind when you think of

4795
02:56:47,880 --> 02:56:48,400
a nerd?

4796
02:56:48,780 --> 02:56:50,760
Steve Urkel from Family Matters, maybe?

4797
02:56:51,160 --> 02:56:53,660
Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory?

4798
02:56:53,660 --> 02:56:55,440
Well, you might be able to picture a

4799
02:56:55,440 --> 02:56:57,960
nerd, but the history of the word itself

4800
02:56:57,960 --> 02:56:58,920
is less clear.

4801
02:56:59,180 --> 02:57:00,900
For our latest Word of the Week feature,

4802
02:57:01,080 --> 02:57:03,220
we nerd out on some etymology.

4803
02:57:03,480 --> 02:57:04,800
Here's NPR's Joe Hernandez.

4804
02:57:06,200 --> 02:57:06,720
Nerds.

4805
02:57:06,720 --> 02:57:07,240
Nerds.

4806
02:57:07,260 --> 02:57:07,600
Nerds.

4807
02:57:07,940 --> 02:57:08,460
Nerds!

4808
02:57:08,520 --> 02:57:09,300
What is a nerd?

4809
02:57:09,600 --> 02:57:11,980
The movie Revenge of the Nerds was released

4810
02:57:11,980 --> 02:57:15,480
in 1984 and pitted some brainy college students

4811
02:57:15,480 --> 02:57:17,120
against their jock tormentors.

4812
02:57:17,340 --> 02:57:19,340
It solidified the nerd stereotype.

4813
02:57:19,860 --> 02:57:21,480
By that point, though, the word had been

4814
02:57:21,480 --> 02:57:24,460
around for decades, but nobody's exactly sure where

4815
02:57:24,460 --> 02:57:25,140
it came from.

4816
02:57:25,540 --> 02:57:27,580
Adam Aleksic is a linguist and a content

4817
02:57:27,580 --> 02:57:29,880
creator who goes by the name the etymology

4818
02:57:29,880 --> 02:57:30,340
nerd.

4819
02:57:30,680 --> 02:57:33,160
I've been making videos as the etymology nerd

4820
02:57:33,160 --> 02:57:35,300
for a while, and so it's my job

4821
02:57:35,300 --> 02:57:37,100
to know what the etymology of nerd is.

4822
02:57:37,220 --> 02:57:38,580
But the problem is that it's a little

4823
02:57:38,580 --> 02:57:39,160
bit obscure.

4824
02:57:39,280 --> 02:57:42,100
Perhaps the first known instance of nerd appearing

4825
02:57:42,100 --> 02:57:44,740
in print was in the 1950 Dr. Seuss

4826
02:57:44,740 --> 02:57:46,160
book, If I Ran the Zoo.

4827
02:57:46,580 --> 02:57:49,860
According to the online etymology dictionary, it potentially

4828
02:57:49,860 --> 02:57:53,500
developed from the 1940s word nerd, an alteration

4829
02:57:53,500 --> 02:57:55,460
of the word nut that meant a, quote,

4830
02:57:55,600 --> 02:57:57,120
stupid or crazy person.

4831
02:57:57,580 --> 02:57:59,900
Aleksic says if Seuss actually came up with

4832
02:57:59,900 --> 02:58:02,160
the word, it's what linguists call a nonce

4833
02:58:02,160 --> 02:58:04,880
formation, meaning it was created for one purpose

4834
02:58:04,880 --> 02:58:06,020
and then reused.

4835
02:58:06,340 --> 02:58:07,900
So if Dr. Seuss did coin the word

4836
02:58:07,900 --> 02:58:10,360
nerd, he's probably going off other words like

4837
02:58:10,360 --> 02:58:13,180
nerd, which was around, or nuts, or it

4838
02:58:13,180 --> 02:58:15,040
just sounds like something that could be a

4839
02:58:15,040 --> 02:58:15,240
nerd.

4840
02:58:15,420 --> 02:58:16,560
And then he goes with it, and then

4841
02:58:16,560 --> 02:58:17,740
other people are like, yeah, that sounds like

4842
02:58:17,740 --> 02:58:18,000
a nerd.

4843
02:58:18,000 --> 02:58:18,680
Let's go with it.

4844
02:58:19,140 --> 02:58:21,180
In the 70s and 80s, nerds were all

4845
02:58:21,180 --> 02:58:22,260
over film and TV.

4846
02:58:22,520 --> 02:58:24,300
And then toward the turn of the millennium,

4847
02:58:24,340 --> 02:58:26,060
they started becoming kind of cool.

4848
02:58:26,360 --> 02:58:29,660
Pop culture historian and author Matthew Klickstein says

4849
02:58:29,660 --> 02:58:32,500
things like the 90s independent film movement and

4850
02:58:32,500 --> 02:58:35,760
rock bands wearing thick rimmed glasses started making

4851
02:58:35,760 --> 02:58:38,720
the weirdos, the misfits, the outsiders, the nerds,

4852
02:58:38,760 --> 02:58:39,900
the geeks, cool.

4853
02:58:40,560 --> 02:58:43,620
Okay, so what exactly, what's the credit that

4854
02:58:43,620 --> 02:58:44,180
you want?

4855
02:58:45,740 --> 02:58:48,200
That I'm the one who found a Dr.

4856
02:58:48,360 --> 02:58:48,980
Seuss reference.

4857
02:58:49,120 --> 02:58:52,180
I even talked to Seuss and his associates

4858
02:58:52,740 --> 02:58:55,340
about it with a phone call because he

4859
02:58:55,340 --> 02:58:57,140
was alive at the time, and they were

4860
02:58:57,140 --> 02:58:59,320
unaware of the fact that he's the one

4861
02:58:59,320 --> 02:59:00,020
who coined the word.

4862
02:59:00,960 --> 02:59:03,460
I want an email writing campaign.

4863
02:59:05,020 --> 02:59:09,260
I want everybody to write NPR and tell

4864
02:59:09,260 --> 02:59:12,800
them that you are very disappointed in their

4865
02:59:12,800 --> 02:59:19,280
non-accreditation of historian columnist John C.

4866
02:59:19,420 --> 02:59:22,020
Dvorak that they did not credit him in

4867
02:59:22,020 --> 02:59:27,100
this article and you demand, demand a correction.

4868
02:59:29,700 --> 02:59:31,760
Yeah, and they're going to do what they

4869
02:59:31,760 --> 02:59:34,180
do, which is ignore anybody's notes.

4870
02:59:34,260 --> 02:59:35,280
You're just wasting your time.

4871
02:59:35,620 --> 02:59:36,920
I just found it annoying.

4872
02:59:37,400 --> 02:59:38,260
I'm with you.

4873
02:59:38,600 --> 02:59:39,420
Yeah, I'm with you.

4874
02:59:39,780 --> 02:59:41,960
I'm highly annoyed for you even.

4875
02:59:41,960 --> 02:59:45,280
In fact, to this day, we still be

4876
02:59:45,280 --> 02:59:48,060
thinking it came from someplace else until I

4877
02:59:48,060 --> 02:59:49,800
dug it up, and it took a little

4878
02:59:49,800 --> 02:59:50,180
work.

4879
02:59:50,320 --> 02:59:52,200
I think we should have a new word.

4880
02:59:52,580 --> 02:59:53,820
Let's bring back some old words.

4881
02:59:53,900 --> 02:59:54,720
How about square?

4882
02:59:55,100 --> 02:59:55,920
Square man.

4883
02:59:56,060 --> 02:59:57,580
He's a square man.

4884
02:59:58,160 --> 02:59:58,860
How about drip?

4885
02:59:59,060 --> 03:00:00,000
My mom used that a lot.

4886
03:00:00,300 --> 03:00:00,620
Drip.

4887
03:00:01,040 --> 03:00:02,400
Drip's still a good word.

4888
03:00:02,600 --> 03:00:03,140
He's a drip.

4889
03:00:04,000 --> 03:00:04,520
Yep, drip.

4890
03:00:04,620 --> 03:00:05,260
We can use drip.

4891
03:00:05,580 --> 03:00:09,620
Yeah, I would say Adam Schiff would be

4892
03:00:09,620 --> 03:00:10,120
a drip.

4893
03:00:10,120 --> 03:00:11,160
He's a big drip.

4894
03:00:11,260 --> 03:00:11,920
All right, one more.

4895
03:00:12,140 --> 03:00:13,380
Five-minute warning here.

4896
03:00:14,460 --> 03:00:15,440
Well, what do we got?

4897
03:00:15,740 --> 03:00:16,960
Well, you're the one with the clips.

4898
03:00:17,840 --> 03:00:18,840
I have a few left.

4899
03:00:18,980 --> 03:00:20,060
Okay, well, we got the ...

4900
03:00:20,060 --> 03:00:20,940
I don't want to do that.

4901
03:00:21,140 --> 03:00:21,360
Here.

4902
03:00:21,660 --> 03:00:22,580
This is a good one.

4903
03:00:22,660 --> 03:00:26,920
This is kind of a politically correct.

4904
03:00:27,060 --> 03:00:28,040
They're still in Germany.

4905
03:00:28,160 --> 03:00:29,140
They can't get over it.

4906
03:00:29,880 --> 03:00:30,600
Here's Germany.

4907
03:00:30,760 --> 03:00:32,540
They changed the name of a street.

4908
03:00:34,000 --> 03:00:34,640
They did?

4909
03:00:35,240 --> 03:00:36,340
Because it's racist.

4910
03:00:36,340 --> 03:00:37,340
Sorry.

4911
03:00:37,500 --> 03:00:38,360
Because it's racist.

4912
03:00:38,620 --> 03:00:40,600
The street name in Berlin has officially been

4913
03:00:40,600 --> 03:00:44,140
changed after campaigners successfully argued that the original

4914
03:00:44,140 --> 03:00:45,340
version was racist.

4915
03:00:46,320 --> 03:00:49,560
Morenstrasse translates as Moor Street, referring to slaves

4916
03:00:49,560 --> 03:00:51,720
brought to Germany in the 18th century.

4917
03:00:52,160 --> 03:00:54,340
Here's our Europe regional editor, Paul Moss.

4918
03:00:54,640 --> 03:00:56,540
The word Moor was used for the people

4919
03:00:56,540 --> 03:00:57,360
of North Africa.

4920
03:00:57,620 --> 03:00:59,720
It was how Shakespeare described Othello.

4921
03:01:00,000 --> 03:01:02,540
But in Germany, Moor was a derogatory term

4922
03:01:02,540 --> 03:01:03,780
for African slaves.

4923
03:01:03,780 --> 03:01:06,560
And the presence of a Morenstrasse in the

4924
03:01:06,560 --> 03:01:08,280
middle of Berlin was long a cause for

4925
03:01:08,280 --> 03:01:08,780
complaint.

4926
03:01:09,320 --> 03:01:11,360
The local council agreed to change the name

4927
03:01:11,360 --> 03:01:14,100
five years ago, but some locals wanted the

4928
03:01:14,100 --> 03:01:15,020
original retained.

4929
03:01:15,460 --> 03:01:18,520
Now, following a long political and legal battle,

4930
03:01:18,820 --> 03:01:21,800
the name has been changed to Anton Wilhelm

4931
03:01:21,800 --> 03:01:25,560
Amorstrasse, after the first African philosopher to teach

4932
03:01:25,560 --> 03:01:26,840
at a German university.

4933
03:01:28,160 --> 03:01:28,760
Moorstrasse.

4934
03:01:29,380 --> 03:01:31,900
You know, the Dutch have a treat.

4935
03:01:32,640 --> 03:01:35,220
Usually comes in a pack of eight, I

4936
03:01:35,220 --> 03:01:35,780
want to say.

4937
03:01:36,560 --> 03:01:40,660
And it's kind of marshmallow covered with chocolate

4938
03:01:40,660 --> 03:01:42,040
on a little cracker.

4939
03:01:42,240 --> 03:01:45,060
And it looks a bit like a mini

4940
03:01:45,060 --> 03:01:45,580
boob.

4941
03:01:46,180 --> 03:01:47,240
Are you familiar with this?

4942
03:01:47,540 --> 03:01:48,760
No, I've never seen it.

4943
03:01:49,020 --> 03:01:51,060
So you bite into it, it's nice chocolate

4944
03:01:51,060 --> 03:01:53,480
with kind of a marshmallow-y, you know,

4945
03:01:53,680 --> 03:01:55,300
it's not really a marshmallow, marshmallow-y.

4946
03:01:55,840 --> 03:01:57,340
And when I was growing up, they were

4947
03:01:57,340 --> 03:02:00,480
called Negerzoene, which means Negro kisses.

4948
03:02:00,700 --> 03:02:03,140
Well, obviously that had to change throughout the

4949
03:02:03,140 --> 03:02:03,440
years.

4950
03:02:03,800 --> 03:02:04,720
And you know what they're called?

4951
03:02:06,760 --> 03:02:07,280
Moorkoopa.

4952
03:02:07,280 --> 03:02:07,800
Moorheads.

4953
03:02:08,600 --> 03:02:10,620
So, that shouldn't take too long before they

4954
03:02:10,620 --> 03:02:11,580
have to change that.

4955
03:02:13,770 --> 03:02:14,490
Now that the Moorstrasse...

4956
03:02:14,490 --> 03:02:17,310
I never thought of Moor as anything other

4957
03:02:17,310 --> 03:02:19,750
than a black person from North Africa that

4958
03:02:19,750 --> 03:02:23,190
was populating different parts of Europe.

4959
03:02:23,790 --> 03:02:25,270
And they were called the Moors.

4960
03:02:25,450 --> 03:02:28,290
It wasn't derogatory, it was just a comment,

4961
03:02:28,290 --> 03:02:29,870
it was a description.

4962
03:02:30,790 --> 03:02:32,230
And then Shakespeare used it.

4963
03:02:33,150 --> 03:02:36,190
But I guess in Germany it was derogatory.

4964
03:02:36,310 --> 03:02:37,190
We don't know that.

4965
03:02:37,370 --> 03:02:38,550
That could be bullcrap.

4966
03:02:39,830 --> 03:02:41,670
The Germans are off the rails.

4967
03:02:42,190 --> 03:02:44,590
I'm gonna show my school by donating to

4968
03:02:44,590 --> 03:02:45,210
No Agenda.

4969
03:02:45,350 --> 03:02:47,290
Imagine all the people who could do that.

4970
03:02:47,490 --> 03:02:48,510
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.

4971
03:02:49,670 --> 03:02:50,150
Yeah!

4972
03:02:50,670 --> 03:02:52,490
On No Agenda!

4973
03:02:53,850 --> 03:02:55,170
In the morning!

4974
03:02:55,470 --> 03:02:57,730
Well, they may be off the rails, but

4975
03:02:57,730 --> 03:02:59,830
that doesn't matter because we have people on

4976
03:02:59,830 --> 03:03:00,270
the rails.

4977
03:03:00,450 --> 03:03:02,190
Those are the people who support us.

4978
03:03:02,830 --> 03:03:04,150
$50 and above.

4979
03:03:04,410 --> 03:03:06,410
And still to come, we have some dynamite

4980
03:03:06,410 --> 03:03:07,310
end of show mixes.

4981
03:03:07,510 --> 03:03:08,450
John's tip of the day.

4982
03:03:08,610 --> 03:03:10,970
And we'll be welcoming our brand new Secretary

4983
03:03:10,970 --> 03:03:11,650
General.

4984
03:03:12,350 --> 03:03:14,590
After John, thanks to the rest of our

4985
03:03:14,590 --> 03:03:15,770
supporters for this episode.

4986
03:03:16,270 --> 03:03:17,990
Yeah, top of the list is our buddy

4987
03:03:17,990 --> 03:03:19,850
Dame Rita there in Sparks, Nevada.

4988
03:03:20,010 --> 03:03:21,370
She comes in every show now.

4989
03:03:22,750 --> 03:03:25,490
$108.24. And she does the date, too,

4990
03:03:25,570 --> 03:03:26,390
if you have noticed.

4991
03:03:26,810 --> 03:03:27,270
Yes, she does.

4992
03:03:27,530 --> 03:03:28,110
8-24.

4993
03:03:28,330 --> 03:03:28,710
We love it.

4994
03:03:29,470 --> 03:03:32,350
Milton Mais, 105-35.

4995
03:03:35,710 --> 03:03:39,950
Followed by the anonymous South African in exile.

4996
03:03:40,350 --> 03:03:43,730
And he's in Bucharest, Romania.

4997
03:03:44,350 --> 03:03:45,370
He's a long way from home.

4998
03:03:45,630 --> 03:03:46,430
105-35.

4999
03:03:47,130 --> 03:03:48,830
And this is his annual donation.

5000
03:03:48,950 --> 03:03:50,670
He says he needs some divorce karma.

5001
03:03:50,670 --> 03:03:51,730
If that's a thing.

5002
03:03:53,290 --> 03:03:54,330
I don't know.

5003
03:03:54,450 --> 03:03:56,470
I've had some myself, so yeah.

5004
03:03:56,550 --> 03:03:57,750
So we'll take care of you at the

5005
03:03:57,750 --> 03:03:58,090
end there.

5006
03:03:58,150 --> 03:03:58,650
No problem.

5007
03:03:59,670 --> 03:04:02,090
He says, again calling out my fellow anonymous

5008
03:04:02,090 --> 03:04:07,570
South African in exile on another continent as

5009
03:04:07,570 --> 03:04:10,250
twice the douchebag he was last year.

5010
03:04:10,890 --> 03:04:11,390
Douchebag!

5011
03:04:12,010 --> 03:04:13,710
I don't know who that guy is, but

5012
03:04:13,710 --> 03:04:15,010
he should be called out by name.

5013
03:04:15,150 --> 03:04:15,790
Yeah, really.

5014
03:04:16,470 --> 03:04:20,490
Dame Early Turtle in Topeka, Kansas.

5015
03:04:21,030 --> 03:04:21,630
Cute little town.

5016
03:04:21,710 --> 03:04:22,690
103-33.

5017
03:04:24,650 --> 03:04:27,990
Dame Denise in Camden, Ohio.

5018
03:04:28,950 --> 03:04:33,290
$100.85. And she's got a note here,

5019
03:04:33,450 --> 03:04:34,850
switcheroo for somebody.

5020
03:04:35,810 --> 03:04:38,390
For Leanne Taylor.

5021
03:04:40,570 --> 03:04:43,430
And Dame cannot be a douchebag for a

5022
03:04:43,430 --> 03:04:45,930
daughter who please de-douche her.

5023
03:04:45,930 --> 03:04:46,570
Leanne.

5024
03:04:48,330 --> 03:04:50,110
You've been de-douched.

5025
03:04:51,730 --> 03:04:54,190
She's the queen of cobalt.

5026
03:04:54,830 --> 03:04:55,350
Cobalt.

5027
03:04:56,010 --> 03:04:56,530
Programmers.

5028
03:04:56,750 --> 03:04:57,610
I'll bet she is.

5029
03:04:57,970 --> 03:04:59,370
Well, there used to be a machine called

5030
03:04:59,370 --> 03:04:59,890
a cobalt.

5031
03:04:59,910 --> 03:05:00,830

I think it's good.

5185
03:11:25,350 --> 03:11:27,010
This is very underwhelming.

5186
03:11:27,470 --> 03:11:29,050
Well, I mean, I don't know what you

5187
03:11:29,050 --> 03:11:29,710
want me to say.

5188
03:11:29,830 --> 03:11:32,370

I take it seriously, man.

5191
03:11:36,690 --> 03:11:38,290

Oh, wait.

5198
03:11:46,210 --> 03:11:46,850
Before we get there.

5199
03:11:47,150 --> 03:11:49,910

03:12:20,070 --> 03:12:21,130
Now, here's my blade.

5214
03:12:21,230 --> 03:12:21,810
Give me your blade.

5215
03:12:21,850 --> 03:12:22,970
We got two knights here today.

5216
03:12:23,010 --> 03:12:23,430
Here you go.

5217
03:12:23,490 --> 03:12:23,770
I got it.

5218
03:12:23,950 --> 03:12:24,250
Perfect.

5219
03:12:24,390 --> 03:12:24,850
There we go.

5220
03:12:26,250 --> 03:12:28,170
Oh, I love it when we have knights

5221
03:12:28,170 --> 03:12:28,690
and dames.

5222
03:12:28,890 --> 03:12:30,450
I haven't had any dames in a while,

5223
03:12:30,670 --> 03:12:33,790
but Steve Miller and Andrew Miller, both of

5224
03:12:33,790 --> 03:12:37,010
you hop up here because we saw Steve

5225
03:12:37,670 --> 03:12:38,890
support $1,000.

5226
03:12:39,250 --> 03:12:40,850
So that means I get to pronounce the

5227
03:12:40,850 --> 03:12:41,210
name.

5228
03:12:41,210 --> 03:12:43,710
He has Sir Render Knot, Secretary General of

5229
03:12:43,710 --> 03:12:47,850
Broken Supply Chains, and Sir Cuitous, Secretary General

5230
03:12:47,850 --> 03:12:49,170
of Parter County.

5231
03:12:49,630 --> 03:12:51,970
You both are knights, so for you, we've

5232
03:12:51,970 --> 03:12:54,090
got Hookers & Blow, Rent Boys, and Chardonnay.

5233
03:12:54,430 --> 03:12:57,350
And we have IPAs, Philly Cheesesteaks from Jim's

5234
03:12:57,350 --> 03:13:00,690
and Basil Hayden, Dark Rye, Old Fashioneds, along

5235
03:13:00,690 --> 03:13:03,170
with our sparkling cider and escorts, Ginger Ale

5236
03:13:03,170 --> 03:13:05,750
and Gerbils, Breast Milk and Pamplemint, of course,

5237
03:13:05,830 --> 03:13:07,050
the Mutton and the Mead.

5238
03:13:07,310 --> 03:13:08,970
Go to noagenderings.com.

5239
03:13:08,970 --> 03:13:09,570
Take a look at those.

5240
03:13:09,750 --> 03:13:10,890
Well, you're going to be there anyway for

5241
03:13:10,890 --> 03:13:11,810
your Secretary...

5242
03:13:11,810 --> 03:13:12,730
Do we have it up yet?

5243
03:13:13,290 --> 03:13:17,870
The Secretary General form for people to submit.

5244
03:13:17,970 --> 03:13:20,050
Is it on noagenderings.com?

5245
03:13:20,330 --> 03:13:22,090
To where it will end up, yeah.

5246
03:13:22,510 --> 03:13:24,290
I'm not sure it's up yet.

5247
03:13:24,550 --> 03:13:25,670
It'll be up there soon.

5248
03:13:25,790 --> 03:13:28,730
I can't wait to see how beautiful these

5249
03:13:28,730 --> 03:13:29,410
are going to be.

5250
03:13:30,110 --> 03:13:30,690
Go there.

5251
03:13:31,390 --> 03:13:32,110
noagenderings.com.

5252
03:13:32,170 --> 03:13:33,570
Let us know what ring size you gentlemen

5253
03:13:33,570 --> 03:13:35,110
want, and we'll send it off to you

5254
03:13:35,110 --> 03:13:37,030
with some sticks of wax because they are

5255
03:13:37,030 --> 03:13:39,490
signet rings, and that enables you to seal

5256
03:13:39,490 --> 03:13:42,570
your important correspondence in grand fashion and style.

5257
03:13:42,950 --> 03:13:44,930
And as always, all rings are accompanied of

5258
03:13:44,930 --> 03:13:46,370
a Certificate of Authenticity.

5259
03:13:55,510 --> 03:13:57,010
Not just a place to find the first

5260
03:13:57,010 --> 03:13:58,230
responders in an emergency.

5261
03:13:58,730 --> 03:14:00,690
You can get connection there that will always

5262
03:14:00,690 --> 03:14:02,070
give you protection with these people.

5263
03:14:02,430 --> 03:14:02,890
And you know what?

5264
03:14:03,250 --> 03:14:04,950
Instead of just hanging out, talking about the

5265
03:14:04,950 --> 03:14:06,130
show, talk about what you can do to

5266
03:14:06,130 --> 03:14:08,530
make your community better, to change things, to

5267
03:14:08,530 --> 03:14:09,890
take away the elite's power.

5268
03:14:10,070 --> 03:14:10,670
You can do it.

5269
03:14:10,770 --> 03:14:13,550
I'm sure the local 5-1-12, the

5270
03:14:13,550 --> 03:14:16,090
Austin people, can do a fine job because

5271
03:14:16,090 --> 03:14:18,290
they do a lot of cool things, including

5272
03:14:18,770 --> 03:14:19,830
the float meet.

5273
03:14:19,990 --> 03:14:21,950
We have Sir Ducifer here with his report.

5274
03:14:22,170 --> 03:14:23,630
Alright, this is Sir Ducifer.

5275
03:14:23,910 --> 03:14:26,110
We are on the San Marcos River.

5276
03:14:26,290 --> 03:14:27,270
This is the meetup report.

5277
03:14:28,590 --> 03:14:29,470

Agenda.

5281
03:14:33,790 --> 03:14:37,250
Alright, so it's kid-friendly, not kid-approved.

5282
03:14:37,390 --> 03:14:38,690
This is Brendan from local 5-1-12

03:14:38,690 --> 03:14:39,730
saying in the morning.

5284
03:14:39,950 --> 03:14:41,430
Butt up is something we say when we

5285
03:14:41,430 --> 03:14:42,850
hit the low parts of the river.

5286
03:14:43,010 --> 03:14:43,550
Butt up!

5287
03:14:44,630 --> 03:14:46,710

03:14:49,570 --> 03:14:51,350

5302

This is Patrick Dew from Lumberton, Texas.

5304
03:15:18,230 --> 03:15:19,690
I just want to let you know that

5305
03:15:19,690 --> 03:15:22,990
the vibe here is quite chill.

5306
03:15:23,370 --> 03:15:25,310
It's a little too chill for my taste.

5307
03:15:25,470 --> 03:15:27,650
I don't see enough people angry, enough people

5308
03:15:27,650 --> 03:15:31,750
slamming tables, turning things over, demanding justice.

5309
03:15:32,350 --> 03:15:34,290
Alright, we had a few kids here.

5310
03:15:34,470 --> 03:15:35,450
A little human resources.

5311
03:15:35,650 --> 03:15:36,410
It was a lot of fun.

5312
03:15:36,750 --> 03:15:38,830
Alright, I'm John Zabinden and we're at Ivar's

5313
03:15:38,830 --> 03:15:39,350

How are we today?

5315
03:15:40,810 --> 03:15:41,650
Good, good.

5316
03:15:42,590 --> 03:15:44,150
Light drinking, light drinking.

5317
03:15:44,570 --> 03:15:46,550
Good barbecue food in the morning.

5318
03:15:47,490 --> 03:15:49,290
We're about to go hit the chutes.

5319
03:15:49,670 --> 03:15:50,830
Alright, there you go.

5320
03:15:50,910 --> 03:15:52,010
They got the server in there.

03:15:52,070 --> 03:15:52,630
Very nice.

5322
03:15:52,770 --> 03:15:53,990

We still have Madison, Alabama, Houston, Texas, Hofdorp,

5394
03:17:52,810 --> 03:17:56,910
Noord, Holland, the Netherlands, South Slocan, British Columbia,

5395
03:17:57,110 --> 03:17:59,830
Keyport, New Jersey, Oakland, California, Tilburg, Noord, Brabant,

5396
03:17:59,950 --> 03:18:00,910
the Netherlands again.

5397
03:18:01,610 --> 03:18:03,150
No, that's a different Netherlands.

5398
03:18:03,310 --> 03:18:04,090
Wow, there's so many groups.

5399
03:18:04,270 --> 03:18:07,510
And October 11th right here in Fredericksburg, Texas.

5400
03:18:07,510 --> 03:18:09,430
That'll be a fun one I will be

5401
03:18:09,430 --> 03:18:09,770
attending.

5402
03:18:09,930 --> 03:18:12,430
I hope to drag the keeper along with

5403
03:18:12,430 --> 03:18:12,530
me.

5404
03:18:12,590 --> 03:18:13,350
Noah Jenner meetups.

5405
03:18:13,710 --> 03:18:15,130
This is where you get your connection.

5406
03:18:15,310 --> 03:18:16,230
It gives you protection.

5407
03:18:16,230 --> 03:18:18,510
You can start one yourself if you don't

5408
03:18:18,510 --> 03:18:19,410
have one near you.

5409
03:18:19,550 --> 03:18:21,190
Go to NoahJennerMeetups.com.

5410
03:18:21,270 --> 03:18:22,850
Always easy and always a party.

5411
03:18:42,530 --> 03:18:44,950
If I recall, this is where we do

5412
03:18:44,950 --> 03:18:45,850
the end of Show ISO.

5413
03:18:46,170 --> 03:18:47,930
If I recall, you had two you were

5414
03:18:47,930 --> 03:18:49,750
keeping in abeyance from the last show.

5415
03:18:49,830 --> 03:18:50,690
You have three, I see.

5416
03:18:50,790 --> 03:18:51,070
Three.

5417
03:18:52,170 --> 03:18:52,770
Yeah, I do.

5418
03:18:53,010 --> 03:18:53,410
All right.

5419
03:18:53,530 --> 03:18:54,650
Well, let's start with yours.

5420
03:18:54,810 --> 03:18:55,630
Which one do you want?

5421
03:18:56,130 --> 03:18:57,810
Well, let's start with the one, the new

5422
03:18:57,810 --> 03:19:00,290
one, which is taken from, I thought this

5423
03:19:00,290 --> 03:19:00,830
was interesting.

5424
03:19:00,990 --> 03:19:01,970
This is therapy.

5425
03:19:02,610 --> 03:19:04,350
Will they save you money on therapy, do

5426
03:19:04,350 --> 03:19:04,650
you think?

5427
03:19:06,190 --> 03:19:07,070
Kind of muddy.

5428
03:19:07,590 --> 03:19:07,990
Muddy.

5429
03:19:08,130 --> 03:19:08,890
Yeah, it is muddy.

5430
03:19:09,130 --> 03:19:11,310
Okay, well then we'll go to the abeyance

5431
03:19:11,310 --> 03:19:11,570
ones.

5432
03:19:11,570 --> 03:19:12,530
All right, yeah.

5433
03:19:12,890 --> 03:19:14,290
We have Amazing.

5434
03:19:14,710 --> 03:19:15,610
That was amazing.

5435
03:19:16,410 --> 03:19:17,430
Okay, not bad.

5436
03:19:17,610 --> 03:19:18,030
Not bad.

5437
03:19:18,570 --> 03:19:19,150
There's Sleep.

5438
03:19:19,350 --> 03:19:20,650
Do these guys ever sleep?

5439
03:19:20,950 --> 03:19:21,630
Great show.

5440
03:19:22,290 --> 03:19:22,630
Wow.

5441
03:19:23,190 --> 03:19:24,150
I can beat that.

5442
03:19:24,930 --> 03:19:25,850
I can beat that.

5443
03:19:25,970 --> 03:19:27,030
Not with this one, though.

5444
03:19:27,090 --> 03:19:28,790
I think everybody loved it, all right?

5445
03:19:29,310 --> 03:19:30,810
I think the one that beats it is

5446
03:19:30,810 --> 03:19:31,290
this one.

5447
03:19:31,490 --> 03:19:33,990
Donate to the best podcast in the universe.

5448
03:19:34,350 --> 03:19:34,570
Huh?

5449
03:19:35,030 --> 03:19:35,750
Come on.

5450
03:19:36,390 --> 03:19:37,870
I couldn't understand it.

5451
03:19:37,890 --> 03:19:39,450
You couldn't understand it?

5452
03:19:39,450 --> 03:19:42,250
It was something about the best podcast in

5453
03:19:42,250 --> 03:19:42,470
the universe.

5454
03:19:42,530 --> 03:19:43,170
What was the beginning?

5455
03:19:43,870 --> 03:19:46,250
Donate to the best podcast in the universe.

5456
03:19:47,890 --> 03:19:49,030
Okay, I'm in.

5457
03:19:49,190 --> 03:19:49,650
There we go.

5458
03:19:49,750 --> 03:19:51,570
He's not only in, he has your tip

5459
03:19:51,570 --> 03:19:51,930
of the day.

5460
03:19:52,010 --> 03:19:53,270
Ladies and gentlemen, stand by.

5461
03:19:53,370 --> 03:19:54,470
Here he is, John C.

5462
03:19:54,590 --> 03:19:55,090
Dvorak.

5463
03:19:56,050 --> 03:19:58,590
Great advice for you and me.

5464
03:19:58,790 --> 03:20:01,470
Just the tip with JC Green.

5465
03:20:02,050 --> 03:20:03,810
And sometimes Adam.

5466
03:20:05,990 --> 03:20:08,310
So here's a cooking, not a cooking product,

5467
03:20:08,410 --> 03:20:10,370
but a salad product I think is salad.

5468
03:20:10,550 --> 03:20:11,210
Salad product.

5469
03:20:11,210 --> 03:20:13,730
And it is pumpkin seed oil.

5470
03:20:15,730 --> 03:20:16,970
It's a seed oil.

5471
03:20:17,090 --> 03:20:17,870
It's going to kill you.

5472
03:20:20,070 --> 03:20:21,570
It's expeller extracted.

5473
03:20:21,730 --> 03:20:23,630
You want the good stuff so it won't

5474
03:20:23,630 --> 03:20:24,190
kill you.

5475
03:20:24,990 --> 03:20:27,170
But pumpkin seed oil, you can not have

5476
03:20:27,170 --> 03:20:28,990
it if you don't want it, but I

5477
03:20:28,990 --> 03:20:30,670
discovered it, didn't discover it.

5478
03:20:31,270 --> 03:20:33,010
It was foisted upon me when on a

5479
03:20:33,010 --> 03:20:36,670
visit to Slovenia, of all places, where it's

5480
03:20:36,670 --> 03:20:38,830
used constantly in all the salad bars and

5481
03:20:38,830 --> 03:20:41,250
all over town, they always have a jar

5482
03:20:41,250 --> 03:20:43,150
of this pumpkin seed oil that they put

5483
03:20:43,150 --> 03:20:43,790
on everything.

5484
03:20:44,570 --> 03:20:46,870
Mostly on salads, like there's a normal salad

5485
03:20:46,870 --> 03:20:48,530
dressing and you add some pumpkin seed oil.

5486
03:20:49,010 --> 03:20:51,490
And I was told there, and you can

5487
03:20:51,490 --> 03:20:55,010
look this up, it might be true, that

5488
03:20:55,010 --> 03:20:56,770
it prevents prostate cancer.

5489
03:20:59,970 --> 03:21:02,370
And so pumpkin seed oil, which you can

5490
03:21:02,370 --> 03:21:06,310
get, you can get it from various sources

5491
03:21:06,310 --> 03:21:08,170
that carry a lot of different kinds of

5492
03:21:08,170 --> 03:21:11,290
variety of oils, and you can also buy

5493
03:21:11,290 --> 03:21:11,930
it on Amazon.

5494
03:21:12,390 --> 03:21:15,950
You don't want the pumpkin seed tablets or

5495
03:21:15,950 --> 03:21:16,530
anything like that.

5496
03:21:16,570 --> 03:21:17,770
You want the oil so you can use

5497
03:21:17,770 --> 03:21:20,030
it for the following recipe, which is perfect

5498
03:21:20,030 --> 03:21:21,190
for this tomato season.

5499
03:21:21,310 --> 03:21:23,190
We're in tomato season right now, right in

5500
03:21:23,190 --> 03:21:24,390
the middle of the tomato season.

5501
03:21:25,330 --> 03:21:27,470
Take and get the ripest tomato you can

5502
03:21:27,470 --> 03:21:30,510
and slice it, put it across the plate

5503
03:21:30,510 --> 03:21:33,810
and salt it with some fleur de sel

5504
03:21:33,810 --> 03:21:36,990
and then use pretty much equal amounts of

5505
03:21:36,990 --> 03:21:40,910
balsamic vinegar and pumpkin seed oil, which looks

5506
03:21:40,910 --> 03:21:41,970
like balsamic vinegar.

5507
03:21:42,190 --> 03:21:45,890
It's a dark toasted oil, so it's a

5508
03:21:45,890 --> 03:21:46,530
dark oil.

5509
03:21:47,970 --> 03:21:50,490
And just the combination of balsamic vinegar and

5510
03:21:50,490 --> 03:21:52,170
pumpkin seed oil and the salt and the

5511
03:21:52,170 --> 03:21:54,350
tomato, absolute killer.

5512
03:21:54,850 --> 03:21:59,370
Hey, tomato season, most people just go to

5513
03:21:59,370 --> 03:22:01,510
the supermarket and they see tomatoes all the

5514
03:22:01,510 --> 03:22:01,890
time.

5515
03:22:02,170 --> 03:22:04,870
Is it tomato season for American tomatoes?

5516
03:22:05,630 --> 03:22:07,110
Yeah, for our tomatoes.

5517
03:22:07,530 --> 03:22:09,670
The good fresh ones you want to get

5518
03:22:09,670 --> 03:22:10,730
at the farmer's market.

5519
03:22:10,870 --> 03:22:12,990
You don't want to buy grocery store tomatoes.

5520
03:22:13,390 --> 03:22:14,890
They're no good.

5521
03:22:15,010 --> 03:22:16,650
Got that Bill Gates wax on it.

5522
03:22:18,030 --> 03:22:20,310
You go to a farmer's market, everyone's got

5523
03:22:20,310 --> 03:22:22,110
a farmer's market, especially down in the south,

5524
03:22:22,190 --> 03:22:23,910
there's tons of them, where you can get

5525
03:22:23,910 --> 03:22:26,810
the super fresh tomatoes that are just picked

5526
03:22:26,810 --> 03:22:29,430
off the vine or grow some tomatoes yourself.

5527
03:22:29,890 --> 03:22:32,570
Do you recommend a particular type of tomato

5528
03:22:32,570 --> 03:22:33,150
for this?

5529
03:22:33,150 --> 03:22:35,450
One of the best tomatoes that generally grows

5530
03:22:35,450 --> 03:22:37,150
well everywhere is an ace.

5531
03:22:37,610 --> 03:22:38,570
Ace tomato?

5532
03:22:39,630 --> 03:22:41,310
It has a good tomato flavor.

5533
03:22:42,670 --> 03:22:44,990
It's not an heirloom by any means, but

5534
03:22:44,990 --> 03:22:45,930
it's a good tomato.

5535
03:22:48,310 --> 03:22:49,670
beefsteaks and all the rest of them are

5536
03:22:49,670 --> 03:22:50,270
all good.

5537
03:22:50,370 --> 03:22:52,550
They're tasty, especially if they come out right.

5538
03:22:53,670 --> 03:22:58,170
But this pumpkin seed oil and balsamic vinegar

5539
03:22:58,170 --> 03:22:59,950
on a tomato right now is dynamite.

5540
03:23:00,090 --> 03:23:01,530
There it is, ladies and gentlemen, your tip

5541
03:23:01,530 --> 03:23:01,890
of the day.

5542
03:23:02,010 --> 03:23:03,930
Get them all at tipoftheday.net.

5543
03:23:14,530 --> 03:23:14,970
Wow.

5544
03:23:16,310 --> 03:23:17,750
Now I'm going to go get me an

5545
03:23:17,750 --> 03:23:19,710
ace tomato at the HEB.

5546
03:23:20,050 --> 03:23:22,290
I'm sure they have them, or maybe not.

5547
03:23:22,490 --> 03:23:23,050
You never know.

5548
03:23:24,610 --> 03:23:26,350
I do love it when you do food

5549
03:23:26,350 --> 03:23:26,670
tips.

5550
03:23:26,790 --> 03:23:29,010
I think that's a good way to do

5551
03:23:29,010 --> 03:23:29,110
it.

5552
03:23:29,110 --> 03:23:29,990
People love the food tips.

5553
03:23:30,090 --> 03:23:31,410
People always love food tips.

5554
03:23:31,930 --> 03:23:34,410
You should do a book about this stuff.

5555
03:23:34,490 --> 03:23:35,870
Maybe a book about vinegar.

5556
03:23:37,750 --> 03:23:38,550
It's coming.

5557
03:23:38,790 --> 03:23:39,870
Yeah, I know it is.

5558
03:23:41,170 --> 03:23:44,690
Stay tuned to your noagenda stream, noagenda.stream,

5559
03:23:44,970 --> 03:23:46,990
trollroom.io if you want to hang out.

5560
03:23:47,470 --> 03:23:49,610
If you're already listening on a modern podcast

5561
03:23:49,610 --> 03:23:52,070
app, you're in good luck because it's coming

5562
03:23:52,070 --> 03:23:54,250
right up after we shut down our broadcast

5563
03:23:54,250 --> 03:23:54,830
stream.

5564
03:23:55,390 --> 03:23:56,830
Mere Mortals, the book reviews.

5565
03:23:57,990 --> 03:24:01,650
World Building on Steroids, Fellowship of the Ring.

5566
03:24:01,950 --> 03:24:03,430
It's a book review from Kyron.

5567
03:24:04,630 --> 03:24:06,050
Kyron and the gang there at the Mere

5568
03:24:06,050 --> 03:24:06,470
Mortals.

5569
03:24:06,550 --> 03:24:07,490
You will not regret it.

5570
03:24:07,570 --> 03:24:11,850
And if Shownet mixes, we have Robin Breedfeld,

5571

5573
03:24:16,350 --> 03:24:17,970
And I'm coming to you from the heart

5574
03:24:17,970 --> 03:24:20,030
of the Texas Hill Country, which will soon

5575
03:24:20,030 --> 03:24:22,150
be the location of the meetup on the,

5576
03:24:22,230 --> 03:24:23,290
well, 11th of October.

5577
03:24:23,770 --> 03:24:24,610
In the morning, everybody.

5578
03:24:24,790 --> 03:24:25,510
I'm Adam Curry.

5579
03:24:25,790 --> 03:24:28,650
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain.

5580
03:24:28,950 --> 03:24:29,590
I'm John C.

5581
03:24:29,690 --> 03:24:30,010
Dvorak.

5582
03:24:30,090 --> 03:24:31,930
We'll be back on Thursday with more media

5583
03:24:31,930 --> 03:24:33,350
deconstruction just for you.

5584
03:24:33,490 --> 03:24:35,550
Remember us at noagendadonations.com.

5585
03:24:35,590 --> 03:24:38,890
Until then, adios mofos, a hooey hooey, and

5586
03:24:38,890 --> 03:24:39,390
such.

5587
03:24:39,970 --> 03:24:40,530
Clip of the day.

5588
03:24:41,790 --> 03:24:42,730
Clip of the day.

5589
03:24:45,730 --> 03:24:47,230
That's a clip of the day.

5590
03:24:48,230 --> 03:24:48,990
Clip of the day.

5591
03:24:50,330 --> 03:24:51,130
Good one.

5592
03:24:51,670 --> 03:24:53,110
That's a clip of the day.

5593
03:24:54,210 --> 03:24:55,610
I'm gonna give you a clip of the

5594
03:24:55,610 --> 03:24:55,910
day.

5595
03:24:56,970 --> 03:24:58,570
Clip of the day for pulling this one

5596
03:24:58,570 --> 03:24:58,750
out.

5597
03:24:59,690 --> 03:25:00,510
Clip of the day.

5598
03:25:00,810 --> 03:25:02,230
That's a clip of the day.

5599
03:25:03,470 --> 03:25:04,210
Clip of the day.

5600
03:25:04,430 --> 03:25:06,230
Clip of the day for pulling this one

5601
03:25:06,230 --> 03:25:06,470
out.

5602
03:25:06,670 --> 03:25:07,310
Good one.

5603
03:25:07,410 --> 03:25:08,530
I'm gonna give you a clip of the

5604
03:25:08,530 --> 03:25:08,810
day.

5605
03:25:09,050 --> 03:25:09,850
Clip of the day.

5606
03:25:09,950 --> 03:25:11,030
That's a good one.

5607
03:25:11,230 --> 03:25:11,830
Clip of the day.

5608
03:25:13,250 --> 03:25:14,730
That's a clip of the day.

5609
03:25:15,330 --> 03:25:16,190
Clip of the day.

5610
03:25:16,990 --> 03:25:18,110
That's a good one.

5611
03:25:19,390 --> 03:25:20,790
I'm gonna give you a clip of the

5612
03:25:20,790 --> 03:25:21,110
day.

5613
03:25:21,430 --> 03:25:22,270
Clip of the day.

5614
03:25:22,930 --> 03:25:23,730
Good one.

5615
03:25:24,990 --> 03:25:26,050
Clip of the day, man.

5616
03:25:26,190 --> 03:25:29,650
That's a clip of the day.

5617
03:25:30,310 --> 03:25:31,110
Clip of the day.

5618
03:25:31,450 --> 03:25:33,410
Give yourself a clip of the day for

5619
03:25:33,410 --> 03:25:34,410
pulling this one out.

5620
03:25:34,530 --> 03:25:35,670
I'm gonna give you a clip of the

5621
03:25:35,670 --> 03:25:35,950
day.

5622
03:25:36,530 --> 03:25:37,630
Are you hiding?

5623
03:25:37,930 --> 03:25:39,170
You're not hiding anything.

5624
03:25:40,130 --> 03:25:41,590
Pull back to the American people.

5625
03:25:41,590 --> 03:25:44,250
And if you are trying to hide something,

5626
03:25:44,730 --> 03:25:48,970
as many of Donald Trump's MAGA supporters apparently

5627
03:25:48,970 --> 03:25:53,170
believe, then Congress should actually work hard to

5628
03:25:53,170 --> 03:25:56,110
try to uncover the truth for the American

5629
03:25:56,110 --> 03:25:56,590
people.

5630
03:25:58,990 --> 03:26:00,630
He's dead, he's done.

5631
03:26:00,890 --> 03:26:04,650
Epstein died from suicide, Epstein died from suicide.

5632
03:26:04,910 --> 03:26:08,550
Epstein didn't kill himself, Epstein died from suicide.

5633
03:26:09,110 --> 03:26:12,630
Jeffrey Epstein conducted a conference called Confronting Gravity.

5634
03:26:13,030 --> 03:26:14,610
I don't know who Jeffrey Epstein was, but

5635
03:26:14,610 --> 03:26:16,790
I'll absolutely bet money that he was the

5636
03:26:16,790 --> 03:26:20,430
product of at least one or more elements

5637
03:26:20,430 --> 03:26:21,430
of the intelligence community.

5638
03:26:21,830 --> 03:26:24,750
The CIA, the FBI, those are all ours.

5639
03:26:24,930 --> 03:26:26,270
And there was Geeks, there were all these

5640
03:26:26,270 --> 03:26:28,150
guys, and I guess Epstein was there.

5641
03:26:28,350 --> 03:26:29,490
So I could have had the opportunity to

5642
03:26:29,490 --> 03:26:30,930
meet Epstein and say, well, what a creep,

5643
03:26:30,990 --> 03:26:31,550
or whatever I said.

5644
03:26:31,810 --> 03:26:32,590
I don't know, I probably wouldn't have said

5645
03:26:32,590 --> 03:26:32,810
anything.

5646
03:26:32,970 --> 03:26:36,670
Epstein died from suicide, Epstein died from suicide.

5647
03:26:36,670 --> 03:26:40,430
Epstein didn't kill himself, Epstein died from suicide.

5648
03:26:41,130 --> 03:26:42,590
He's dead, he's gone.

5649
03:26:42,810 --> 03:26:45,150
Criminal, criminal, look, look, wait.

5650
03:26:45,390 --> 03:26:47,770
Criminal, criminal, look, look, look, wait.

5651
03:26:47,950 --> 03:26:50,370
Criminal, criminal, look, look, look, wait.

5652
03:26:50,530 --> 03:26:51,590
You're elitist for a minute.

5653
03:26:52,770 --> 03:26:53,830
Where's my ice cream?

5654
03:26:54,390 --> 03:26:55,370
Ah, thank you.

5655
03:26:55,430 --> 03:26:56,690
I'll give them a B+.

5656
03:26:56,690 --> 03:26:59,190
I appreciate a bit more fire and spice.

5657
03:26:59,330 --> 03:27:00,950
There's an audience beyond the Senate.

5658
03:27:01,230 --> 03:27:03,830
And that is John Bolton's politicization of the

5659
03:27:03,830 --> 03:27:05,870
intelligence he got on Cuba and on other

5660
03:27:05,870 --> 03:27:06,150
issues.

5661
03:27:06,150 --> 03:27:08,090
Why would we want someone with that lack

5662
03:27:08,090 --> 03:27:08,650
of credibility?

5663
03:27:08,890 --> 03:27:09,730
I can't understand.

5664
03:27:09,990 --> 03:27:12,270
Clearly, that's what John Bolton represents.

5665
03:27:12,690 --> 03:27:15,430
He would tell in a captivating way that

5666
03:27:15,430 --> 03:27:19,490
the public would watch the most pernicious part

5667
03:27:19,490 --> 03:27:20,470
of the president's scheme.

5668
03:27:20,630 --> 03:27:25,210
And his love of conspiracy theories.

5669
03:27:26,490 --> 03:27:29,090
Partly him playing to their base and playing

5670
03:27:29,090 --> 03:27:32,490
to their audience, you know, the credulous boomer

5671
03:27:32,490 --> 03:27:33,210
rube demo.

5672
03:27:33,210 --> 03:27:35,870
Criminal, criminal, look, look, look, wait.

5673
03:27:36,210 --> 03:27:37,070
Conspiracy theories.

5674
03:27:38,430 --> 03:27:41,050
Criminal, criminal, look, look, look, wait.

5675
03:27:41,970 --> 03:27:44,510
Criminal, criminal, look, look, look, wait.

5676
03:27:45,350 --> 03:27:46,790
I think at the end of the day,

5677
03:27:46,890 --> 03:27:48,250
it all boils down to this.

5678
03:27:48,630 --> 03:27:49,690
Rick, that was a good one.

5679
03:27:49,730 --> 03:27:50,310
I needed that.
