1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,880
The cell phone is the Satan's tool.

2
00:00:03,059 --> 00:00:04,860
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:05,360
Devorah.

4
00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:07,180
It's Sunday, November 30th, 2025.

5
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,260
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media

6
00:00:09,260 --> 00:00:11,500
Assassination Episode 1821.

7
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:13,640
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,800
We are not stupid.

9
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:19,340
And we're broadcasting live from the heart of

10
00:00:19,340 --> 00:00:21,380
the Texas Hill Country here at FEMA Region

11
00:00:21,380 --> 00:00:22,020
Number 6.

12
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:23,240
In the morning, everybody.

13
00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:24,540
I'm Adam Curry.

14
00:00:24,540 --> 00:00:26,760
And we're in the Silicon Valley where we're

15
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,640
expecting the blue wave of doom.

16
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,620
I'm John C.

17
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:30,980
Devorah.

18
00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:36,610
Yeah, yeah.

19
00:00:36,730 --> 00:00:38,630
Because we know that all their ops are

20
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:39,630
working really well.

21
00:00:39,730 --> 00:00:40,830
The blue wave of doom.

22
00:00:41,010 --> 00:00:42,270
Is that a Democrat thing?

23
00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:46,370
Well, blue wave is not the doom part.

24
00:00:47,810 --> 00:00:48,750
I added that.

25
00:00:48,810 --> 00:00:50,410
The way I would see it is the

26
00:00:50,410 --> 00:00:52,990
blue wave would be doom.

27
00:00:53,170 --> 00:00:54,230
Doom, I tell you.

28
00:00:54,370 --> 00:00:54,810
Doom.

29
00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:56,230
Doom.

30
00:00:56,230 --> 00:00:57,670
Hey, how was your Thanksgiving?

31
00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:58,330
How was your Thanksgiving?

32
00:00:58,850 --> 00:00:59,690
It was good.

33
00:00:59,990 --> 00:01:01,550
Okay, did you actually celebrate yet?

34
00:01:02,410 --> 00:01:03,349
Yeah, no, we ate.

35
00:01:03,489 --> 00:01:04,690
Everyone's eating their foods.

36
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:07,950
I got a nice small nine-pound bird.

37
00:01:08,830 --> 00:01:10,350
Smoked it in the Masterbuilt.

38
00:01:11,130 --> 00:01:11,490
Masterbuilt?

39
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:13,330
Yeah, the smoker.

40
00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:15,010
It's one of the tips of the day.

41
00:01:15,770 --> 00:01:16,490
Your Masterbuilt?

42
00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:18,250
Well, you should have given that before Thanksgiving.

43
00:01:19,870 --> 00:01:20,450
I'm sorry?

44
00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:22,110
No, it was a tip of the day

45
00:01:22,110 --> 00:01:22,850
from a year ago.

46
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:24,510
Because today you're going to do a knife,

47
00:01:24,530 --> 00:01:24,730
right?

48
00:01:24,790 --> 00:01:25,890
Tell me you're going to do a knife.

49
00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:27,310
No, the knife's not.

50
00:01:27,390 --> 00:01:28,410
I'm not ready for the knife.

51
00:01:29,890 --> 00:01:30,850
Well, it's a tease.

52
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:32,070
We got the knife is coming.

53
00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:33,250
The knife is coming.

54
00:01:33,490 --> 00:01:34,470
Yes, the knife is coming.

55
00:01:34,790 --> 00:01:35,270
It's very good.

56
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:35,970
Very good.

57
00:01:36,890 --> 00:01:39,170
And it was a small bird and it

58
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:40,050
was a heritage.

59
00:01:40,210 --> 00:01:42,650
It was brined and it didn't taste like

60
00:01:42,650 --> 00:01:42,950
turkey.

61
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:44,050
What did it taste like?

62
00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:44,490
It tastes like pheasant.

63
00:01:44,690 --> 00:01:45,690
It tastes like pheasant.

64
00:01:46,570 --> 00:01:48,390
That's what good turkey tastes like.

65
00:01:48,430 --> 00:01:50,750
Which I hear pheasant tastes a lot like

66
00:01:50,750 --> 00:01:51,450
peacock.

67
00:01:52,570 --> 00:01:53,290
I don't know.

68
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:55,110
I've never had peacock, curiously.

69
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:56,070
Peacock is good.

70
00:01:56,790 --> 00:01:59,250
Well, Black Friday, it's not what it used

71
00:01:59,250 --> 00:01:59,650
to be.

72
00:02:00,270 --> 00:02:02,570
We used to be fighting and rioting over

73
00:02:02,570 --> 00:02:06,050
boxes filled with large screen TV sets.

74
00:02:06,810 --> 00:02:08,430
My, how things have changed.

75
00:02:08,889 --> 00:02:11,430
Black Friday promotion turned sour as shoppers waited

76
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:13,510
hours for the cross mac and cheese Mac

77
00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:16,230
Friday 65-inch box, only to see it

78
00:02:16,230 --> 00:02:17,270
vanish within seconds.

79
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:20,010
The TV size deal packed 65 boxes for

80
00:02:20,010 --> 00:02:22,790
just $19.37. But most fans woke up

81
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:25,510
disappointed with carts emptied and supply gone before

82
00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:25,850
checkout.

83
00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:28,070
Chaos and anger erupted online.

84
00:02:28,250 --> 00:02:30,110
Some call it a clever marketing stunt.

85
00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:31,530
Others, pure frustration.

86
00:02:31,850 --> 00:02:32,610
Did you see this?

87
00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:36,050
I'm completely unfamiliar with this.

88
00:02:36,210 --> 00:02:37,230
So it's news to me.

89
00:02:37,310 --> 00:02:41,250
Oh, so it was a 65-inch box,

90
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:43,830
kind of like what your TV would come

91
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:46,130
in, filled with mac and cheese.

92
00:02:46,910 --> 00:02:47,270
Okay.

93
00:02:47,370 --> 00:02:49,350
And people were fighting over it because that's

94
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:49,830
the thing.

95
00:02:49,970 --> 00:02:50,430
We don't fight.

96
00:02:50,510 --> 00:02:51,650
We used to fight over television.

97
00:02:52,050 --> 00:02:54,210
And I totally believe this happened.

98
00:02:56,290 --> 00:02:59,710
Hey, while we're on the topic, who will

99
00:02:59,710 --> 00:03:00,510
be the first?

100
00:03:00,610 --> 00:03:02,390
Man, you are really cutting through the noise.

101
00:03:02,510 --> 00:03:04,430
Are your speakers louder today than normal?

102
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:06,310
I'm going to turn them down, whatever.

103
00:03:06,690 --> 00:03:07,150
Yes, a little bit.

104
00:03:07,870 --> 00:03:08,990
Who will be?

105
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:10,710
Oh, man, it's just crazy.

106
00:03:11,950 --> 00:03:12,790
It's way down.

107
00:03:12,850 --> 00:03:13,970
I can barely hear you.

108
00:03:14,170 --> 00:03:14,810
Let me see.

109
00:03:14,850 --> 00:03:15,850
Am I doing the right one?

110
00:03:17,210 --> 00:03:17,630
Hold on.

111
00:03:18,330 --> 00:03:19,530
Yeah, that's weird.

112
00:03:22,190 --> 00:03:23,190
I'll cut all that out.

113
00:03:23,230 --> 00:03:23,570
Don't worry.

114
00:03:23,570 --> 00:03:24,950
Who's the...

115
00:03:25,570 --> 00:03:27,210
Goodness gracious, John.

116
00:03:27,930 --> 00:03:30,250
It's like I keep cutting through the noise

117
00:03:30,250 --> 00:03:30,650
gate.

118
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:38,450
I can't turn it down much more.

119
00:03:39,170 --> 00:03:40,650
I can barely hear you myself.

120
00:03:40,790 --> 00:03:41,710
I don't know how it's getting through.

121
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:41,990
Really?

122
00:03:42,010 --> 00:03:42,190
Yeah.

123
00:03:42,310 --> 00:03:43,330
I don't understand either.

124
00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:44,410
Anyway.

125
00:03:44,930 --> 00:03:46,170
Maybe my mic's going bad.

126
00:03:46,530 --> 00:03:50,050
Who will be the first to have the

127
00:03:50,050 --> 00:03:52,930
secret Santa that pays off everybody's layaway this

128
00:03:52,930 --> 00:03:53,190
year?

129
00:03:54,990 --> 00:03:56,870
Oh, I forgot about that story.

130
00:03:56,870 --> 00:03:58,570
No, it happens every year.

131
00:03:58,810 --> 00:03:59,470
No, it does.

132
00:03:59,550 --> 00:04:01,250
It's a standard every year.

133
00:04:01,790 --> 00:04:06,630
We have the bogus story, and it turns

134
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:09,350
up in every local news station, some guy.

135
00:04:10,290 --> 00:04:13,410
And then you first have the crying, weeping

136
00:04:13,410 --> 00:04:16,269
shopper outside the store who just discovered that

137
00:04:16,269 --> 00:04:19,630
her bills were paid from the local real

138
00:04:19,630 --> 00:04:20,529
estate developer.

139
00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:24,950
Yeah, it used to be a national thing.

140
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:28,350
It's really moved more towards the local, and

141
00:04:28,350 --> 00:04:30,290
you're right, it's always the local real estate

142
00:04:30,290 --> 00:04:33,050
person who, oh yeah, someone paid it off.

143
00:04:33,090 --> 00:04:35,510
Although sometimes it's actual secret Santa, and then

144
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:37,450
it's just a promotion for Walmart.

145
00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:38,930
It has to be a promotion.

146
00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:40,470
Oh, that's right.

147
00:04:40,510 --> 00:04:42,550
I forgot that part of the formula.

148
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:43,070
Of course.

149
00:04:43,230 --> 00:04:43,390
Yes.

150
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:47,050
It always happens at Walmart, so therefore you

151
00:04:47,050 --> 00:04:49,590
should go there to shop because you just

152
00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:50,630
might get it for free.

153
00:04:50,890 --> 00:04:51,230
Yeah, hello.

154
00:04:51,530 --> 00:04:52,470
That's the way to go.

155
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:53,070
Of course.

156
00:04:53,470 --> 00:04:54,010
Of course.

157
00:04:54,010 --> 00:04:55,810
It's beautiful, and we love that.

158
00:04:56,050 --> 00:04:58,690
And I'm just stunned that no other retailer

159
00:04:58,690 --> 00:04:59,790
has figured this out.

160
00:05:00,350 --> 00:05:01,790
Well, it hasn't happened yet.

161
00:05:02,410 --> 00:05:03,230
Oh, it will.

162
00:05:03,750 --> 00:05:05,090
I've got all my filters.

163
00:05:05,770 --> 00:05:09,070
We did have an op from the, what

164
00:05:09,070 --> 00:05:10,810
did you call it, the blue wave of

165
00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:11,090
doom?

166
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:15,270
Yeah, the blue wave of doom.

167
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:17,450
The blue wave of doom pulled an op.

168
00:05:17,550 --> 00:05:19,710
I don't think it worked very well.

169
00:05:20,330 --> 00:05:22,870
The op is Wabbit.

170
00:05:23,790 --> 00:05:26,910
Wabbit, acronym for We Ain't Buying It.

171
00:05:27,130 --> 00:05:29,530
So this time of year, right after Thanksgiving,

172
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:33,010
is usually a layup for big retail companies.

173
00:05:33,330 --> 00:05:35,610
But this year has not been business as

174
00:05:35,610 --> 00:05:36,010
usual.

175
00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:39,210
Activists are upset that corporations are not speaking

176
00:05:39,210 --> 00:05:42,130
out against policies promoted by the Trump administration.

177
00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:44,750
And so now they want their money to

178
00:05:44,750 --> 00:05:47,550
talk, like the No King's Protest or the

179
00:05:47,550 --> 00:05:48,310
Target Fest.

180
00:05:48,610 --> 00:05:50,670
The branding for this pressure campaign is We

181
00:05:50,670 --> 00:05:51,290
Ain't Buying It.

182
00:05:51,290 --> 00:05:54,050
Organizers want you to pull back from spending

183
00:05:54,050 --> 00:05:56,770
money at Target and Home Depot and Amazon.

184
00:05:57,410 --> 00:05:58,570
Now, in a press release, they say the

185
00:05:58,570 --> 00:06:00,850
companies have caved to Donald Trump's bigoted and

186
00:06:00,850 --> 00:06:03,330
anti-democratic attacks on our communities and our

187
00:06:03,330 --> 00:06:07,010
values, from cravenly abandoning their commitments to diversity,

188
00:06:07,190 --> 00:06:10,090
equity and inclusion, to enabling the terrorizing of

189
00:06:10,090 --> 00:06:10,770
our communities.

190
00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:13,050
Corporate collaboration must stop.

191
00:06:13,190 --> 00:06:16,230
Now, the boycott puts another bullseye on Target.

192
00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:18,710
A retailer has been open about seeing the

193
00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:21,290
bottom line be impacted by this previous boycott

194
00:06:21,290 --> 00:06:23,230
after dropping DEI initiatives.

195
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:27,010
But is the holiday timing a game changer?

196
00:06:27,630 --> 00:06:29,970
Latasha Brown is co-founder of Black Voters

197
00:06:29,970 --> 00:06:30,310
Matter.

198
00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:32,910
That's one of the groups leading this We

199
00:06:32,910 --> 00:06:33,810
Ain't Buying It effort.

200
00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:35,550
OK, hold on for a second.

201
00:06:36,310 --> 00:06:37,750
Black Voters Matter.

202
00:06:38,630 --> 00:06:39,990
Go to their website.

203
00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:42,430
Hit the donate button.

204
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:44,290
ActBlue.

205
00:06:44,770 --> 00:06:45,530
ActBlue, of course.

206
00:06:45,830 --> 00:06:46,290
ActBlue.

207
00:06:46,610 --> 00:06:49,810
So this is just another political action.

208
00:06:50,090 --> 00:06:50,490
Stunt.

209
00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:52,970
Caged in like, We Ain't Buying It.

210
00:06:53,290 --> 00:06:54,210
And the reason why?

211
00:06:54,310 --> 00:06:55,270
Well, we hate Trump.

212
00:06:55,530 --> 00:06:56,730
Latasha, welcome back to the show.

213
00:06:56,810 --> 00:06:57,430
Let me start here.

214
00:06:57,510 --> 00:07:00,850
So we know about the reason behind the

215
00:07:00,850 --> 00:07:02,390
Target focus.

216
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:04,150
By the way, stop.

217
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:05,330
Where'd you get this clip?

218
00:07:05,590 --> 00:07:05,910
CNN.

219
00:07:07,930 --> 00:07:09,270
What did you think?

220
00:07:10,330 --> 00:07:10,910
I don't know.

221
00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:11,510
I was wondering.

222
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:12,970
It sounded like the Black News Network.

223
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:15,310
Why you're also focusing on Home Depot?

224
00:07:15,330 --> 00:07:16,950
There is no Black News Network.

225
00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:18,230
Yeah, there is.

226
00:07:18,290 --> 00:07:19,210
I listen to it all the time.

227
00:07:19,290 --> 00:07:19,850
I have it local.

228
00:07:19,950 --> 00:07:21,470
It's fantastic, actually.

229
00:07:21,710 --> 00:07:21,910
Oh, really?

230
00:07:22,370 --> 00:07:23,790
Yeah, it's really good.

231
00:07:23,870 --> 00:07:26,010
It's better than the typical news around that

232
00:07:26,010 --> 00:07:27,870
you get from the white news networks.

233
00:07:28,590 --> 00:07:29,570
About the reason.

234
00:07:29,770 --> 00:07:30,530
So this is not CNN.

235
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:31,750
It's the white news network.

236
00:07:31,930 --> 00:07:33,310
OK, we'll keep it like that for now

237
00:07:33,310 --> 00:07:33,470
on.

238
00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:36,250
Sitting behind the Target focus.

239
00:07:36,970 --> 00:07:38,930
Tell me about why you're also focusing on

240
00:07:38,930 --> 00:07:39,990
Home Depot and Amazon.

241
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:42,730
Well, now remember, this is for people that

242
00:07:42,730 --> 00:07:43,870
we ain't buying it.

243
00:07:43,910 --> 00:07:44,770
We ain't buying it.

244
00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:46,390
I might have to get a two by

245
00:07:46,390 --> 00:07:46,630
four.

246
00:07:46,690 --> 00:07:48,170
No, you can't buy it.

247
00:07:48,170 --> 00:07:50,190
You can't buy it because Trump.

248
00:07:50,830 --> 00:07:52,350
You know, when we look at Home Depot,

249
00:07:52,650 --> 00:07:53,290
it's interesting.

250
00:07:53,450 --> 00:07:57,090
Home Depot has actually built their businesses based

251
00:07:57,090 --> 00:07:58,970
on home improvement and construction.

252
00:07:59,070 --> 00:08:01,430
And they've built their business on the backs,

253
00:08:01,570 --> 00:08:03,770
quite frankly, of immigrant labor and an industry

254
00:08:03,770 --> 00:08:05,150
that depends on immigrant labor.

255
00:08:05,470 --> 00:08:07,130
But what we've seen is they've actually been

256
00:08:07,130 --> 00:08:07,490
colluding.

257
00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:07,850
Really?

258
00:08:08,610 --> 00:08:09,850
They built their business.

259
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:12,010
On the backs of immigrant labor.

260
00:08:12,210 --> 00:08:12,810
Really?

261
00:08:13,010 --> 00:08:13,130
Yeah.

262
00:08:13,370 --> 00:08:14,170
No, obviously.

263
00:08:14,510 --> 00:08:16,290
On immigrant labor.

264
00:08:16,570 --> 00:08:18,270
But what we've seen is they've actually been

265
00:08:18,270 --> 00:08:22,170
colluding with ICE to provide information to surveillance.

266
00:08:22,370 --> 00:08:22,810
One of the groups.

267
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:23,170
Wait a minute.

268
00:08:23,170 --> 00:08:23,830
Stop the clip.

269
00:08:25,090 --> 00:08:26,370
So in other words.

270
00:08:26,870 --> 00:08:27,470
Yes.

271
00:08:27,770 --> 00:08:30,910
Before this finishes, they built their whole business

272
00:08:30,910 --> 00:08:32,090
around immigrant labor.

273
00:08:32,309 --> 00:08:36,710
But to shoot themselves in the head, they

274
00:08:36,710 --> 00:08:39,450
decided to collude with ICE to get rid

275
00:08:39,450 --> 00:08:40,409
of the immigrant labor.

276
00:08:40,770 --> 00:08:43,090
So they, because they built it around immigrant

277
00:08:43,090 --> 00:08:44,950
labor, can go broke.

278
00:08:45,010 --> 00:08:46,210
Is that the logic here?

279
00:08:46,330 --> 00:08:47,070
And go home.

280
00:08:47,350 --> 00:08:48,750
I think they all just want to go

281
00:08:48,750 --> 00:08:50,010
home and not buy it.

282
00:08:50,170 --> 00:08:51,950
What we've seen is they've actually been colluding

283
00:08:51,950 --> 00:08:55,390
with ICE to provide information to surveillance.

284
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:56,030
Any collusion?

285
00:08:56,370 --> 00:08:58,290
A part of the coalition that two of

286
00:08:58,290 --> 00:09:00,110
the workers that were in the store that

287
00:09:00,110 --> 00:09:02,330
they called that ICE actually came in their

288
00:09:02,330 --> 00:09:04,490
store and attacked while they were in there.

289
00:09:04,590 --> 00:09:07,090
And so Home Depot has also been capitulating.

290
00:09:07,090 --> 00:09:10,070
They have aligned themselves with this administration that

291
00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:12,590
is creating harm on the very people who

292
00:09:12,590 --> 00:09:14,530
have helped to build this business.

293
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:16,090
Well, then they're pretty stupid.

294
00:09:16,270 --> 00:09:17,910
Your point is well-made, John C.

295
00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:18,310
Dvorak.

296
00:09:18,410 --> 00:09:20,370
Let's see if the other two examples, if

297
00:09:20,370 --> 00:09:21,670
you can find something similar.

298
00:09:22,030 --> 00:09:24,110
And Amazon, what we see of Amazon is

299
00:09:24,110 --> 00:09:26,910
also they've been supporting just for a tax

300
00:09:26,910 --> 00:09:27,190
break.

301
00:09:27,310 --> 00:09:30,250
They've been supporting this administration, providing a million

302
00:09:30,250 --> 00:09:33,250
dollars for the inauguration so that they can

303
00:09:33,250 --> 00:09:35,170
get tax benefits at our expense.

304
00:09:35,170 --> 00:09:37,330
And what we're saying is that we expect

305
00:09:37,330 --> 00:09:38,830
corporations to be accountable.

306
00:09:39,170 --> 00:09:39,950
Wait a minute.

307
00:09:41,390 --> 00:09:44,210
So this is about tax breaks.

308
00:09:44,370 --> 00:09:45,950
That doesn't come from the administration.

309
00:09:45,950 --> 00:09:49,970
That comes from your city because it doesn't

310
00:09:49,970 --> 00:09:51,190
come from Donald Trump.

311
00:09:51,950 --> 00:09:55,790
If you open up in New York or

312
00:09:55,790 --> 00:09:58,230
in Atlanta or wherever you want, New Jersey,

313
00:09:58,350 --> 00:09:59,550
wherever you want to open up, that's a

314
00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:02,250
city or a state tax break, not a

315
00:10:02,250 --> 00:10:03,130
federal tax break.

316
00:10:03,170 --> 00:10:03,610
Am I wrong?

317
00:10:03,690 --> 00:10:04,230
Prove me wrong.

318
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:08,340
She's unclear.

319
00:10:09,620 --> 00:10:10,800
Accountable to the customers.

320
00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:13,680
You can't align yourself with an administration that

321
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,200
is hurting and harming our communities.

322
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:17,600
We won't buy it.

323
00:10:17,820 --> 00:10:18,640
We ain't buying it.

324
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:20,080
Now, before we get to some of the

325
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,140
goals of this protest, this boycott.

326
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,260
Vote Democrat.

327
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:26,460
Walmart rolled back their DEI.

328
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,000
There have been ICE missions and operations outside

329
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,020
of Lowe's locations.

330
00:10:32,460 --> 00:10:33,760
Why these two and not the others?

331
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:34,280
Walmart.

332
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,900
Part of what we're asking people, and I

333
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:38,020
think what you're going to see across the

334
00:10:38,020 --> 00:10:39,980
board this weekend, what you're going to see

335
00:10:39,980 --> 00:10:41,640
across the board is that many of those

336
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:41,800
companies.

337
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,680
It doesn't sound like there's a boycott on

338
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:47,280
Walmart, which of course makes sense because Walmart

339
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,760
is all in with these people.

340
00:10:49,820 --> 00:10:51,580
So I think she's trying to deflect here,

341
00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:52,520
unless I'm misunderstanding.

342
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,620
They're going to see their sales be down.

343
00:10:56,780 --> 00:10:58,280
What we wanted to do is to send

344
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,100
a message with these three companies.

345
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,180
One, it's measurable.

346
00:11:01,580 --> 00:11:04,000
We're focused on that.

347
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,700
We ain't buying it.

348
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,240
We're not standing with any company.

349
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:09,660
These three are just the beginning.

350
00:11:09,820 --> 00:11:10,700
They're not the end.

351
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,880
Those other companies as well, we've been asking

352
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,580
people to hold their money, to not support

353
00:11:16,580 --> 00:11:19,240
and shop with companies that do not align

354
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,480
with the values that we believe that supports

355
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,580
our communities, including these other companies.

356
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,320
These three companies just happen to be the

357
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,580
companies that we decided that because of what

358
00:11:28,580 --> 00:11:30,880
was happening, because we're seeing the egregious nature,

359
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,920
that we would focus on those three companies.

360
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,820
Okay, so this is their operation.

361
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:38,000
I don't think it worked.

362
00:11:38,460 --> 00:11:39,000
Oh, wait.

363
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,120
Well, I'll give you the number.

364
00:11:40,380 --> 00:11:41,160
You have the number.

365
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,900
U.S. shoppers spent a record $11.8

366
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:49,720
billion up 9.1. This is online alone.

367
00:11:51,740 --> 00:11:54,120
Almost 10% from 20 to almost.

368
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:54,800
Yeah.

369
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:55,640
Wow.

370
00:11:55,980 --> 00:11:56,680
How much up?

371
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,360
How many percent?

372
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,080
Almost 10, 9.1. Wow.

373
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,700
But meanwhile, the activists were definitely.

374
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:05,240
By the way, one more thing.

375
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,700
I thought this was called black out or

376
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:09,680
black something.

377
00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:10,980
I think they hijacked it.

378
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,900
They hijacked it.

379
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,920
Like they had a consultant look at it.

380
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,140
I said, blackouts, no good.

381
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,800
How about we ain't buying it?

382
00:12:20,020 --> 00:12:20,820
Yeah, that's great.

383
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:21,600
Here's 10 grand.

384
00:12:22,820 --> 00:12:25,760
I think that's what happened.

385
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:26,620
Yeah.

386
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,660
Here is one of their activists who decided

387
00:12:31,660 --> 00:12:32,460
to take another.

388
00:12:32,940 --> 00:12:35,680
Another angle at we ain't buying it and

389
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:36,780
went to TikTok.

390
00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:28,280
Go outside and touch some grass.

391
00:13:28,380 --> 00:13:30,260
Put your music on and shake your ass.

392
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,120
Your human soul and bank account will both

393
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,120
be glad.

394
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,960
Yeah, and it worked.

395
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,400
Kind of.

396
00:13:37,620 --> 00:13:37,740
Wow.

397
00:13:37,820 --> 00:13:38,500
What a song.

398
00:13:40,140 --> 00:13:41,820
Hey, at least it wasn't AI.

399
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,640
It was a real song.

400
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:44,220
You don't know that.

401
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,740
No, I'm pretty sure she was playing the

402
00:13:47,740 --> 00:13:48,200
ukulele.

403
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:48,920
I was impressed.

404
00:13:49,140 --> 00:13:49,880
I was very impressed.

405
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:50,520
Oh, yeah.

406
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,700
That sounds like a uke.

407
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:52,860
Yeah, like a uke.

408
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,880
So we did have a couple of.

409
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,340
Of course, we're on the ball here.

410
00:13:57,460 --> 00:14:00,000
We are we're here for you as a

411
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:00,740
public service.

412
00:14:01,820 --> 00:14:03,960
There was a little bit of a frenzy

413
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,760
with the Airbus issue.

414
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:07,480
Yeah, I have a clip.

415
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:08,800
I have a clip.

416
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,460
I'm happy to play your clip.

417
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:12,220
What's your clip?

418
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,220
I don't know.

419
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,100
Probably something either Airbus or 320.

420
00:14:17,460 --> 00:14:20,680
Well, I'll play the Airbus 320 issue.

421
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:21,700
That could be the clip.

422
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:22,000
Yep.

423
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,020
On the year's busiest travel weekend, the FAA

424
00:14:25,020 --> 00:14:27,540
has ordered airlines to update software in a

425
00:14:27,540 --> 00:14:29,760
widely used aircraft by midnight tonight.

426
00:14:30,340 --> 00:14:33,320
Airbus issued a software fix for about 6000

427
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,520
of its A320 family of jets after an

428
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,040
analysis found that solar radiation bursts may corrupt

429
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,120
key data needed for flight controls.

430
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,380
They say that's likely why a jet blue

431
00:14:44,380 --> 00:14:47,200
flight suddenly lost altitude last month, sending more

432
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,760
than a dozen people to hospitals.

433
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:52,180
American, Delta and United all say they expect

434
00:14:52,180 --> 00:14:53,820
the fix to be done quickly and with

435
00:14:53,820 --> 00:14:54,860
minimal disruption.

436
00:14:55,380 --> 00:14:57,740
Yeah, this was a bigger disruption over in

437
00:14:57,740 --> 00:14:58,020
Europe.

438
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,820
It's a best selling aircraft used by commercial

439
00:15:00,820 --> 00:15:02,280
airlines across the world.

440
00:15:03,180 --> 00:15:05,880
Airbus has ordered immediate repairs to 6000 of

441
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,400
its A320s, more than half of its global

442
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,200
fleet due to a flight control software issue.

443
00:15:11,620 --> 00:15:13,960
For safety reasons, the planes cannot fly until

444
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:14,460
repaired.

445
00:15:14,460 --> 00:15:17,200
The flight system in question sends commands from

446
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,380
the pilot's side stick to elevators at the

447
00:15:19,380 --> 00:15:19,640
rear.

448
00:15:20,020 --> 00:15:22,680
It's manufactured by the French company TELUS, which

449
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,820
insists it's not responsible for the problem.

450
00:15:25,060 --> 00:15:27,060
The incident in the Punt, the recall involved

451
00:15:27,060 --> 00:15:28,940
a flight from Cancun to Newark on the

452
00:15:28,940 --> 00:15:29,960
30th of October.

453
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,520
Several passengers were hurt after a sharp loss

454
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,780
of altitude, forcing the pilots to make an

455
00:15:34,780 --> 00:15:36,120
emergency landing in Florida.

456
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:39,760
After analysis, Airbus claims that intense solar radiation

457
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,000
may have been the culprit.

458
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,240
We need to talk about solar storms, which

459
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,900
are particles emitted by explosions on the sun's

460
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:48,280
surface that project a cloud of particles and

461
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,060
can reach Earth in about 20 hours.

462
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,600
But if this happens with significant intensity, it

463
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,780
can disrupt computers and therefore the flight control

464
00:15:55,780 --> 00:15:58,340
links to the computer give you bad information.

465
00:15:58,940 --> 00:16:00,940
Repairs can be completed within a few hours

466
00:16:00,940 --> 00:16:03,240
for each plane, but disruptions will vary in

467
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,580
length depending on the company.

468
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,680
So solar, huh?

469
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,480
X-flares, K-flares.

470
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,220
Do you remember a couple of weeks ago

471
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:12,600
when that solar flare hit?

472
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,120
Yes.

473
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,820
And that's the day that my, my, I

474
00:16:16,820 --> 00:16:17,480
told you this.

475
00:16:17,580 --> 00:16:20,000
I said that the, for some reason, the,

476
00:16:20,060 --> 00:16:20,420
uh.

477
00:16:20,420 --> 00:16:21,860
Oh, the knock got all confused?

478
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:26,060
No, it was the, I, the, uh, clean

479
00:16:26,060 --> 00:16:26,920
feed itself.

480
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,940
I couldn't, it came with these weird messages.

481
00:16:28,940 --> 00:16:30,040
I couldn't get on it.

482
00:16:30,180 --> 00:16:32,120
And I mentioned this on the show and

483
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,960
you thought that was, I said it never

484
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:34,640
happened before.

485
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,800
And then I noticed on that same day

486
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,300
or over that period of time, there's people

487
00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:41,940
driving weird and Mimi, Mimi noticed it.

488
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:42,840
And so did Jay.

489
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:43,900
People were, what do you mean?

490
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,040
What do you define driving weird?

491
00:16:46,580 --> 00:16:49,080
Just like they're just, just like they're shorted

492
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:49,340
out.

493
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,880
They're driving just down the middle of the

494
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:52,200
street.

495
00:16:52,260 --> 00:16:53,420
Those aren't people, John.

496
00:16:53,540 --> 00:16:53,840
I mean, it was just a lot of

497
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:54,560
weird driving.

498
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,540
Those aren't people.

499
00:16:55,660 --> 00:16:56,940
That's, uh, that's the drones.

500
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:57,840
That's the bot people.

501
00:16:58,140 --> 00:16:59,660
Well, whatever was driving, they were doing a

502
00:16:59,660 --> 00:17:00,300
poor job of it.

503
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:00,940
NPCs.

504
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,319
So, but I think the, uh, I think

505
00:17:03,319 --> 00:17:06,119
that solar flares did something and I guess

506
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,060
it screwed up these airplanes.

507
00:17:08,339 --> 00:17:10,480
Cause it's hit some, well, I'm in there

508
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:10,960
at first.

509
00:17:10,980 --> 00:17:13,060
At first I'm like, this sounds like a

510
00:17:13,060 --> 00:17:14,099
bull crap story.

511
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:15,760
It does sound like a bull crap story.

512
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:19,240
So I look into it and, uh, it

513
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,140
turns out that, so there's a lot of,

514
00:17:23,220 --> 00:17:25,220
a lot of systems, obviously it's all fly

515
00:17:25,220 --> 00:17:25,859
by wire.

516
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,480
And there's actually, uh, an ECC chip that's

517
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,760
mounted onto, uh, uh, one of the redundant

518
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,000
controller systems.

519
00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:40,280
Are you familiar with ECC memory?

520
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,780
No, uh, is that, uh, no, I'm not.

521
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,040
Do I mean to explain it?

522
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:46,680
Maybe I am.

523
00:17:46,820 --> 00:17:48,760
Well, I'm, I'm, I'm only going to read

524
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,160
from the definitions I looked up.

525
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,400
A specialized type of computer memory RAM specifically

526
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,960
designed to detect and correct the most common

527
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,520
types of internal data correction, often called soft

528
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,040
errors.

529
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,220
Uh, ECC memory works by using an extra

530
00:18:06,220 --> 00:18:08,720
chip on the memory module that stores error

531
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,680
correction codes.

532
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,100
Hence ECC, also known as parody bits.

533
00:18:13,460 --> 00:18:15,360
When data is written to the memory.

534
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:16,180
Yes.

535
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,680
They used to have this on memory, but

536
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,960
of course you used to have that extra

537
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:19,300
chip.

538
00:18:19,380 --> 00:18:19,720
Yeah.

539
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,240
Back in the day when it was crap.

540
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,660
He stopped doing it.

541
00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:24,200
So what they're claiming.

542
00:18:24,380 --> 00:18:26,500
It costs an extra nickel, forget it.

543
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,440
So what they're claiming is that the solar

544
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,040
flares can actually flip a bit in the

545
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:32,440
chip.

546
00:18:33,260 --> 00:18:35,160
You know, this is what I was thinking.

547
00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:39,420
Not that particular exact issue, but I was

548
00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:41,400
thinking that the whole thing was a shielding

549
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:41,940
problem.

550
00:18:42,420 --> 00:18:44,420
Well, you would say you had this, you

551
00:18:44,420 --> 00:18:47,920
had these models, these modules shielded properly.

552
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:50,480
This you'd be good to go.

553
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:52,240
I agree with you.

554
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:55,600
And what's even more interesting to me is

555
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,220
that this was not, you know, you know

556
00:18:57,220 --> 00:19:00,400
what the change was, it was actually downgrading,

557
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,160
rolling back an update.

558
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,760
I'm like, come on, you can't tell me

559
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,260
that some update and they're not taking responsibility.

560
00:19:09,260 --> 00:19:10,380
That's an excellent point.

561
00:19:10,460 --> 00:19:11,060
What you're saying?

562
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:12,700
Well, it's possible.

563
00:19:13,660 --> 00:19:15,060
I can see it.

564
00:19:15,380 --> 00:19:20,580
It's possible that the old code wouldn't have

565
00:19:20,580 --> 00:19:22,780
been, if that bit was flipped, it wouldn't

566
00:19:22,780 --> 00:19:23,640
make any difference.

567
00:19:23,860 --> 00:19:23,960
Yeah.

568
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:26,260
Well, and so you can't just, oh, it's

569
00:19:26,260 --> 00:19:26,820
solar flares.

570
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:28,400
No, it's your crappy software.

571
00:19:28,620 --> 00:19:30,380
Well, yeah, that's for sure.

572
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:30,900
Come on.

573
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:33,300
If you're rolling back, it's not like it

574
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:34,680
was a hardware upgrade.

575
00:19:35,140 --> 00:19:36,580
Like, oh, we have to do something.

576
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,420
Yeah, you have to swap out the chip.

577
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:39,620
So somebody...

578
00:19:39,620 --> 00:19:41,280
Although you can shield it, hello?

579
00:19:41,660 --> 00:19:43,760
I would think shielding would be the, well,

580
00:19:43,820 --> 00:19:45,680
maybe there's, I mean, who knows?

581
00:19:46,340 --> 00:19:47,500
Who knows with this stuff?

582
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,800
Could just be an attack from Boeing for

583
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,380
all we know.

584
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,520
Ah, look at these guys.

585
00:19:51,660 --> 00:19:52,960
Let's screw them up.

586
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,040
I had no idea until this report came

587
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,620
out that the 320 was the number one

588
00:19:59,620 --> 00:20:00,800
airplane in the world.

589
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:01,960
I didn't know that they...

590
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,640
I also don't know if that's true.

591
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,020
Well, every report said it.

592
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,580
Oh, that's an interesting question.

593
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,420
It's the most popular passenger plane in the

594
00:20:13,420 --> 00:20:15,440
world, period, according to everybody.

595
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:16,980
Well, it's possible.

596
00:20:17,220 --> 00:20:19,540
I mean, I'd say the 737 rivals...

597
00:20:19,540 --> 00:20:20,560
That's what I was thinking.

598
00:20:20,740 --> 00:20:24,580
737 went, you know, but that's not what...

599
00:20:24,580 --> 00:20:25,540
They kept reporting it.

600
00:20:25,540 --> 00:20:27,340
Nobody was saying no.

601
00:20:27,340 --> 00:20:29,160
Well, but, you know, no one looks into

602
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,200
these things anymore.

603
00:20:31,180 --> 00:20:33,260
They're not even calling it a glitch often.

604
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,120
Just like, hey, it's just what happens, you

605
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:35,320
know.

606
00:20:35,580 --> 00:20:38,440
And Friday, it was kind of the same

607
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,760
on the stock markets or specifically the future

608
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,320
markets.

609
00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:43,540
Another centralization problem.

610
00:20:43,820 --> 00:20:46,040
We continue to follow the outage at the

611
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,920
CME that has halted trading in stock index

612
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,220
futures and other contracts.

613
00:20:50,220 --> 00:20:52,680
That was caused by a cooling issue at

614
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,240
the CME's data center.

615
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,000
However, services are gradually being restored and treasuries,

616
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,520
commodities and metals are said to be trading

617
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,380
normally at this point.

618
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:03,880
You can kind of see the moves in

619
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,860
the pound, the dollar, the euro.

620
00:21:06,580 --> 00:21:08,700
Stock index futures are still halted, though.

621
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,460
We will keep you updated on when those

622
00:21:11,460 --> 00:21:12,320
might be restored.

623
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,840
But again, it's been hours at this point.

624
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,100
We are continuing to watch and we'll let

625
00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:19,840
you know as soon as those stock futures

626
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,580
begin to trade properly as well.

627
00:21:21,580 --> 00:21:23,480
I always wonder when you have an outage

628
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,640
like that, Forex futures, like what's going on

629
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:27,180
in the background?

630
00:21:27,420 --> 00:21:29,640
How can someone take advantage of that?

631
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,020
And it was a cooler ways, I'm sure

632
00:21:33,020 --> 00:21:36,220
it's completely centralized in one data center and

633
00:21:36,220 --> 00:21:37,760
cooling brings it all down.

634
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:42,300
I mean, this is, you know, we're going

635
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:43,560
to see more and more of this.

636
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:48,220
Thank God for podcasting being decentralized because we're

637
00:21:48,220 --> 00:21:49,820
just going to see more and more and

638
00:21:49,820 --> 00:21:50,840
more and more of this.

639
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,000
More things.

640
00:21:53,180 --> 00:21:53,300
Yeah.

641
00:21:53,460 --> 00:21:53,840
Oh, yeah.

642
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,240
AWS, CloudFlare, you know, Azure.

643
00:21:58,060 --> 00:21:59,960
There's only three or four big players.

644
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,280
So this is not good.

645
00:22:03,140 --> 00:22:06,020
In this case, I have to say I

646
00:22:06,020 --> 00:22:11,260
got a promotion, promotion from Elon Musk from

647
00:22:11,260 --> 00:22:15,060
his, what's his, what's his satellite thing called

648
00:22:15,060 --> 00:22:15,340
again?

649
00:22:16,660 --> 00:22:17,340
I have Starlink.

650
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,500
So for five dollars a month in deactivated

651
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:24,080
state, they sent they're going to send me

652
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,400
a Starlink mini.

653
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:28,200
Which I think is pretty cool.

654
00:22:28,660 --> 00:22:29,060
Yeah.

655
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:31,200
But what's what's don't you have Starlink already?

656
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:31,560
Yeah.

657
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,320
But this is so, you know, you put

658
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,280
this in your go bag.

659
00:22:36,340 --> 00:22:39,180
So if if it all for five bucks

660
00:22:39,180 --> 00:22:41,200
a month, you can have a little device

661
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,440
in your go bag.

662
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,880
And so when you go after when the

663
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,560
grid goes down, you can get out of

664
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,000
there and you can have a little thing

665
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,880
and you can and then you can stay

666
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:50,400
in touch.

667
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:51,760
I put it right next to my ammo

668
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:52,920
where it belongs.

669
00:22:53,460 --> 00:22:53,620
Yeah.

670
00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:55,180
And what was it?

671
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,060
A jug of water.

672
00:22:56,260 --> 00:22:57,760
What's the things that we have in there?

673
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:01,360
Flashlight, flashlight, flashlight, a grinding flashlight.

674
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,000
The candidate has a grinder on the side.

675
00:23:03,060 --> 00:23:05,360
Yeah, a grinder or as we call it

676
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:06,800
in the old country, a knife cut.

677
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,220
Get one of those.

678
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,040
And you need a radio that you power

679
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:11,960
by winding it.

680
00:23:12,580 --> 00:23:12,720
Yeah.

681
00:23:12,820 --> 00:23:13,980
That's the same like the flashlight.

682
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,160
It is pretty.

683
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,260
It lasts for about five seconds.

684
00:23:22,580 --> 00:23:22,780
Yeah.

685
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:29,840
So I got a last go bag.

686
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,000
Actually, I got one more.

687
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,540
I mean, earthquake country.

688
00:23:33,580 --> 00:23:34,760
And you think I would need a go

689
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,000
bag because, you know, if you have it

690
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,940
or, you know, I grabbed the gold bag,

691
00:23:37,980 --> 00:23:38,760
which is a gold bag.

692
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:39,500
There should be.

693
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,720
We should probably have the knowledge.

694
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:41,980
No, it's going to go back.

695
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:42,460
Yeah.

696
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:43,040
Yeah.

697
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,580
It has to have a couple of pairs

698
00:23:44,580 --> 00:23:46,540
of underwear for starters.

699
00:23:46,540 --> 00:23:47,660
Some mac and cheese.

700
00:23:47,660 --> 00:23:48,240
Probably a shirt.

701
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,180
It's going to be bigger than it's going

702
00:23:50,180 --> 00:23:51,880
to be more like a like a garment

703
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,340
bag.

704
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:53,640
If you're going to go, you might as

705
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:54,760
well bring a garment bag with you.

706
00:23:54,820 --> 00:23:55,760
It's got a bunch of clothes in it.

707
00:23:55,820 --> 00:23:56,520
You're nailing it.

708
00:23:56,580 --> 00:23:57,740
This is a great promotion.

709
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,820
They're talking about a little bitty bag with

710
00:23:59,820 --> 00:24:02,020
a couple of items and screw that.

711
00:24:02,260 --> 00:24:04,260
Go have a garment bag loaded in the

712
00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:05,040
gills with stuff.

713
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:07,060
Throw it in the car and get out

714
00:24:07,060 --> 00:24:07,500
of there.

715
00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:08,660
A garment bag.

716
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,700
Yeah, it should be a garment bag.

717
00:24:11,220 --> 00:24:12,960
No, it shouldn't be a garment bag.

718
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:13,800
We need a different.

719
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,480
We need a proper no agenda go bag.

720
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,000
We should at least have the contents.

721
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:21,460
Wind up, we should have it.

722
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:23,020
It should be a no agenda go bag

723
00:24:23,020 --> 00:24:24,760
in a theoretical.

724
00:24:25,660 --> 00:24:27,860
So it doesn't have to be sell it.

725
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:28,400
No, no, no.

726
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,760
We'll throw in some gigawatt coffee because, you

727
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,000
know, when you're on the go, you need

728
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:33,660
some coffee.

729
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,020
We'll throw in a voucher for a resume

730
00:24:37,020 --> 00:24:38,100
from Linda Lou.

731
00:24:39,820 --> 00:24:41,360
Because, you know, because when you're on the

732
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:42,380
go, you're going to need a job.

733
00:24:42,380 --> 00:24:43,560
You're going to need a job.

734
00:24:43,660 --> 00:24:44,720
So you need a resume.

735
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,040
Yeah, exactly.

736
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:47,240
Exactly.

737
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:49,520
Yeah, it's perfect.

738
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,660
We got you covered, people.

739
00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:52,260
No worries.

740
00:24:52,540 --> 00:24:53,480
No worries at all.

741
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:56,020
So there's a lot of different things.

742
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,680
I mean, we have this DC shooter, which

743
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,400
is part of a bigger op.

744
00:25:00,420 --> 00:25:01,560
But I think we should leave that for

745
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,340
just a second.

746
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,260
Let's do Ukraine because there's some movement.

747
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,240
I have some Ukraine stuff that are good

748
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,200
intro stuff.

749
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,360
You probably have some deeper analysis.

750
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,080
I'm hoping you do.

751
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,380
I got three clubs.

752
00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:18,280
I got the Ukraine update.

753
00:25:18,460 --> 00:25:20,400
OK, let's hit that.

754
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,500
Russia carried out drone and missile strikes on

755
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:25,120
Ukraine's capital overnight.

756
00:25:25,660 --> 00:25:27,820
Authorities say two people were killed and at

757
00:25:27,820 --> 00:25:28,980
least seven were wounded.

758
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,860
The attacks come as the White House continues

759
00:25:31,860 --> 00:25:34,500
to make a new diplomatic push to end

760
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:35,220
the conflict.

761
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:38,300
NPR's Charles Mains reports from Moscow.

762
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:40,600
The Kremlin says the U.S. has now

763
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,900
provided a document outlining the main parameters of

764
00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:46,580
its peace proposal, one amended with input from

765
00:25:46,580 --> 00:25:48,800
Ukraine and Europe after an earlier version was

766
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,420
criticized as heavily tilted in Moscow's favor.

767
00:25:51,940 --> 00:25:54,600
Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested the plan

768
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,420
could still be the basis of a settlement,

769
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,300
but only if Ukraine is the one to

770
00:25:58,300 --> 00:26:01,160
make key concessions, among them a demand to

771
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,040
surrender territory claimed but not controlled by Russia

772
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,960
after more than three years of fighting.

773
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,700
The topic is sure to come up when

774
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:10,460
Ukrainian negotiators meet with White House envoy Steve

775
00:26:10,460 --> 00:26:13,440
Whitkoff and other administration officials this weekend in

776
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:13,820
Florida.

777
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,260
Whitkoff then heads to Russia for talks with

778
00:26:16,260 --> 00:26:17,480
Putin in the coming days.

779
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:20,600
What I find interesting is that everybody, every

780
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,000
report around the world is they're meeting in

781
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:23,360
Florida.

782
00:26:23,540 --> 00:26:24,560
They're meeting in Florida.

783
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:26,700
Why don't they just say they're meeting at

784
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:27,220
Mar-a-Lago?

785
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,640
I presume that's where the meeting is going

786
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,460
to take place.

787
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,600
Ah, you're presuming.

788
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:35,300
They could be meeting at Disney World.

789
00:26:36,940 --> 00:26:38,280
You don't know.

790
00:26:39,220 --> 00:26:42,940
Now, regarding, well, you look that up, regarding

791
00:26:42,940 --> 00:26:48,240
this, the strikes on Kiev, there was 10

792
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,820
hours of drones and missiles and they killed

793
00:26:50,820 --> 00:26:51,040
two?

794
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:52,640
I guess.

795
00:26:52,660 --> 00:26:55,560
Wait, you're going to bomb a major city,

796
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,460
a metropolitan city, and you're going to bomb

797
00:26:58,460 --> 00:27:02,240
it for 10 hours solid with missiles and

798
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,760
drones and two people dead.

799
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,720
This makes no sense to me.

800
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,400
Well, they're not very effective.

801
00:27:11,540 --> 00:27:13,180
All right, well, that's why you're looking up

802
00:27:13,180 --> 00:27:14,500
the Mar-a-Lago thing.

803
00:27:14,660 --> 00:27:16,140
Well, can I just say that, I don't

804
00:27:16,140 --> 00:27:17,380
know how old that report was.

805
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,300
Was that from Friday?

806
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:18,920
Yesterday.

807
00:27:19,620 --> 00:27:23,800
Well, that's interesting because the Russian attack was

808
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,520
a counterattack for the Sea Drones.

809
00:27:30,030 --> 00:27:30,790
Did you know about this?

810
00:27:31,130 --> 00:27:32,070
The Sea Drones were launched from Kiev?

811
00:27:32,290 --> 00:27:32,670
No.

812
00:27:32,930 --> 00:27:33,710
Well, here, listen.

813
00:27:33,830 --> 00:27:35,410
Now, the latest on the war in Ukraine,

814
00:27:35,610 --> 00:27:38,990
Ukraine's intelligence service releasing dramatic images showing its

815
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:42,170
attack on two sanctioned Russian oil tankers off

816
00:27:42,170 --> 00:27:42,950
Turkey's coast.

817
00:27:43,110 --> 00:27:45,150
ABC's Patrick Rievel is in Ukraine with the

818
00:27:45,150 --> 00:27:45,450
latest.

819
00:27:46,150 --> 00:27:49,370
Russia overnight heavily bombed Kiev once again with

820
00:27:49,370 --> 00:27:53,070
hundreds of drones and missiles, but Ukraine also

821
00:27:53,070 --> 00:27:54,810
hitting back in a new way.

822
00:27:54,950 --> 00:27:58,590
Its SBU intelligence service today releasing dramatic video

823
00:27:58,590 --> 00:28:02,030
showing Sea Drones hitting two Russian tankers near

824
00:28:02,030 --> 00:28:04,850
Turkey that the Kremlin allegedly has been using

825
00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:05,910
to smuggle oil.

826
00:28:05,910 --> 00:28:09,210
It comes as a Ukrainian delegation is expected

827
00:28:09,210 --> 00:28:11,910
to arrive tonight in Florida for talks tomorrow

828
00:28:11,910 --> 00:28:14,590
on the Trump administration's new peace plan.

829
00:28:14,930 --> 00:28:16,690
They will meet with Secretary of State Marco

830
00:28:16,690 --> 00:28:18,710
Rubio, as well as President Trump's son-in

831
00:28:18,710 --> 00:28:22,150
-law Jared Kushner and his envoy Steve Whitkoff.

832
00:28:22,390 --> 00:28:24,370
The delegation was due to be led by

833
00:28:24,370 --> 00:28:27,150
President Zelensky's chief of staff, Andrew Yermak, but

834
00:28:27,150 --> 00:28:29,990
he was forced to resign yesterday amid a

835
00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:31,010
corruption scandal.

836
00:28:31,370 --> 00:28:33,110
Zelensky under huge pressure.

837
00:28:33,110 --> 00:28:35,550
Now, Whitkoff is due to visit Moscow next

838
00:28:35,550 --> 00:28:37,590
week to present the plan to Vladimir Putin,

839
00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:40,190
but Putin has already signaled that he won't

840
00:28:40,190 --> 00:28:43,590
compromise, saying that it's pointless to sign anything

841
00:28:43,590 --> 00:28:44,610
with Zelensky.

842
00:28:45,050 --> 00:28:49,430
So they launched drones, Ukraine launched Sea Drones.

843
00:28:49,450 --> 00:28:50,710
Yeah, those are boat drones.

844
00:28:50,970 --> 00:28:52,070
Near Turkey.

845
00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:55,590
Yeah, and by the way, I think it

846
00:28:55,590 --> 00:28:56,370
was irresponsible.

847
00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:59,230
That's not very environmentally friendly to blow up

848
00:28:59,230 --> 00:29:00,290
a tanker full of oil.

849
00:29:00,530 --> 00:29:01,250
Very ungreen.

850
00:29:01,450 --> 00:29:02,750
It had to cause a lot of pollution.

851
00:29:02,750 --> 00:29:04,250
Very not green of them.

852
00:29:04,350 --> 00:29:06,110
Probably killed a lot of fish.

853
00:29:07,810 --> 00:29:10,090
I just find it highly unlikely that those

854
00:29:10,090 --> 00:29:13,850
little boat drones, I mean, where were they

855
00:29:13,850 --> 00:29:14,970
launched from?

856
00:29:15,050 --> 00:29:18,950
They weren't launched from, obviously not from Kiev.

857
00:29:19,610 --> 00:29:21,150
A vague report.

858
00:29:23,170 --> 00:29:24,810
Well, and the end of that report had

859
00:29:24,810 --> 00:29:26,410
a little bit about the corruption, which is

860
00:29:26,410 --> 00:29:28,390
these two clips, the last ones I have.

861
00:29:28,530 --> 00:29:31,070
And these are WTF clips, which means that

862
00:29:31,070 --> 00:29:32,090
they don't make sense.

863
00:29:32,670 --> 00:29:33,190
Negotiations.

864
00:29:33,250 --> 00:29:33,590
Sorry.

865
00:29:34,410 --> 00:29:35,070
I'm sorry.

866
00:29:35,170 --> 00:29:35,770
I'm sorry.

867
00:29:35,950 --> 00:29:37,410
I'm doing my own clip.

868
00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:38,230
You should be sorry.

869
00:29:38,730 --> 00:29:39,210
I am.

870
00:29:39,730 --> 00:29:40,150
Ready?

871
00:29:41,310 --> 00:29:43,690
Negotiations to end Russia's war against Ukraine will

872
00:29:43,690 --> 00:29:46,170
continue in Florida this weekend as a Ukrainian

873
00:29:46,170 --> 00:29:48,830
delegation arrives to negotiate with the Trump administration.

874
00:29:49,550 --> 00:29:51,070
Joining us now with the latest is NPR's

875
00:29:51,070 --> 00:29:52,310
Eleanor Beardsley in Kiev.

876
00:29:52,430 --> 00:29:52,890
Hi, Eleanor.

877
00:29:53,150 --> 00:29:53,910
Hi, Miles.

878
00:29:54,030 --> 00:29:57,070
So these negotiations won't include a top Ukrainian

879
00:29:57,070 --> 00:29:58,730
negotiator who resigned yesterday.

880
00:29:58,870 --> 00:29:59,670
Can you tell us about him?

881
00:29:59,670 --> 00:30:02,090
Well, his name is Andrei Yermak, and he

882
00:30:02,090 --> 00:30:04,370
is Zelensky's chief of staff and right hand

883
00:30:04,370 --> 00:30:04,770
man.

884
00:30:05,170 --> 00:30:07,430
They go way back to Zelensky's TV days

885
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:09,510
before he was elected president of Ukraine in

886
00:30:09,510 --> 00:30:10,150
2019.

887
00:30:10,890 --> 00:30:12,730
Yermak is a film producer and a former

888
00:30:12,730 --> 00:30:14,130
business partner of Zelensky.

889
00:30:14,350 --> 00:30:16,510
And they've also worked closely together and even

890
00:30:16,510 --> 00:30:19,290
lived together in the fortified government compound in

891
00:30:19,290 --> 00:30:21,050
Kiev since the full scale invasion.

892
00:30:21,630 --> 00:30:23,730
Yermak is not well liked by Ukrainians who

893
00:30:23,730 --> 00:30:25,890
say he's amassed too much power and was

894
00:30:25,890 --> 00:30:27,410
not the person they voted for.

895
00:30:27,410 --> 00:30:30,290
Analysts tell me American and European allies didn't

896
00:30:30,290 --> 00:30:31,330
appreciate him either.

897
00:30:31,550 --> 00:30:33,490
Anyway, he got caught up in the corruption

898
00:30:33,490 --> 00:30:36,130
scandal that broke in mid-November involving at

899
00:30:36,130 --> 00:30:38,510
least eight people who are now under investigation,

900
00:30:38,850 --> 00:30:41,790
several close to Zelensky, who are suspected of

901
00:30:41,790 --> 00:30:44,190
siphoning off more than $100 million from the

902
00:30:44,190 --> 00:30:45,690
state nuclear power agency.

903
00:30:45,690 --> 00:30:47,710
And this at a time when Ukrainians are

904
00:30:47,710 --> 00:30:50,190
fighting a war and hunkering down under daily

905
00:30:50,190 --> 00:30:50,990
power cuts.

906
00:30:51,570 --> 00:30:53,790
Investigators searched his house Friday morning.

907
00:30:53,790 --> 00:30:56,650
And Friday night, Zelensky spoke and said he

908
00:30:56,650 --> 00:30:59,870
had accepted Yermak's resignation in his video address

909
00:30:59,870 --> 00:31:00,410
to the nation.

910
00:31:00,530 --> 00:31:01,010
Let's listen.

911
00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:06,650
He says, for our internal strength, there should

912
00:31:06,650 --> 00:31:09,110
be no reason to be distracted by anything

913
00:31:09,110 --> 00:31:10,830
other than the defense of Ukraine.

914
00:31:11,230 --> 00:31:13,030
And he went on to say Russia really

915
00:31:13,030 --> 00:31:15,410
wants Ukraine to make mistakes and we will

916
00:31:15,410 --> 00:31:16,330
make no mistakes.

917
00:31:16,870 --> 00:31:19,690
But negotiations are ongoing to end this war

918
00:31:19,690 --> 00:31:20,290
with Russia.

919
00:31:20,390 --> 00:31:21,910
How is the scandal going to impact that?

920
00:31:21,910 --> 00:31:24,530
Well, some say it's made Ukraine more vulnerable

921
00:31:24,530 --> 00:31:25,690
and weakens Zelensky.

922
00:31:26,170 --> 00:31:27,830
But today I spoke with 30-year-old

923
00:31:27,830 --> 00:31:29,350
Dmytro Kotiatensky.

924
00:31:29,510 --> 00:31:31,390
He's a young anti-corruption activist.

925
00:31:31,630 --> 00:31:34,570
And he says this investigation and Yermak's resignation

926
00:31:34,570 --> 00:31:37,630
doesn't show Ukraine is corrupt, just the opposite.

927
00:31:40,150 --> 00:31:42,550
Zelensky just lost his main guy.

928
00:31:42,750 --> 00:31:45,530
He's on record saying, well, if he's not

929
00:31:45,530 --> 00:31:48,330
with me in the eyes, I'm not here.

930
00:31:49,230 --> 00:31:49,750
This is his.

931
00:31:49,810 --> 00:31:50,830
Yeah, he did say that.

932
00:31:50,830 --> 00:31:52,130
He got abandoned.

933
00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:54,130
I think this guy extracted himself.

934
00:31:54,230 --> 00:31:55,290
It's not like he got arrested.

935
00:31:56,050 --> 00:31:57,110
No, I just resigned.

936
00:31:57,290 --> 00:31:58,250
And he's gone.

937
00:31:58,570 --> 00:31:59,350
And he's gone.

938
00:31:59,370 --> 00:32:00,910
Yeah, to one of the many houses he

939
00:32:00,910 --> 00:32:02,190
probably has around the world.

940
00:32:02,370 --> 00:32:02,550
Yeah.

941
00:32:02,930 --> 00:32:06,330
And I like the idea that, hey, there's

942
00:32:06,330 --> 00:32:07,090
no corruption.

943
00:32:07,590 --> 00:32:09,910
Getting caught proves there's no corruption.

944
00:32:10,270 --> 00:32:12,010
What kind of logic is that?

945
00:32:12,290 --> 00:32:14,370
I think what they're probably saying is it

946
00:32:14,370 --> 00:32:16,170
proves that they're getting rid of corruption.

947
00:32:16,350 --> 00:32:17,630
We're getting ready for the EU.

948
00:32:18,230 --> 00:32:19,930
No, no.

949
00:32:19,930 --> 00:32:22,930
This guy, this guy was either pulled out

950
00:32:22,930 --> 00:32:24,950
or saw it all.

951
00:32:25,090 --> 00:32:26,990
I mean, Zelensky is naked now.

952
00:32:27,150 --> 00:32:29,710
I think he's complete because we just have

953
00:32:29,710 --> 00:32:30,190
to remember.

954
00:32:30,510 --> 00:32:33,030
Well, he has to be because the public

955
00:32:33,030 --> 00:32:35,270
in Ukraine say that this other guy is

956
00:32:35,270 --> 00:32:35,890
too powerful.

957
00:32:36,070 --> 00:32:38,270
They didn't vote for him, meaning he's running

958
00:32:38,270 --> 00:32:38,850
the show.

959
00:32:38,990 --> 00:32:40,490
Yeah, of course he was running the show.

960
00:32:40,690 --> 00:32:45,230
Zelensky, just to reiterate, was an actor playing

961
00:32:45,230 --> 00:32:49,510
a popular, playing an actor who by popularity

962
00:32:49,510 --> 00:32:51,770
was voted to become president of Ukraine.

963
00:32:52,430 --> 00:32:53,310
And then it happened.

964
00:32:53,950 --> 00:32:55,650
And it was produced and directed by that

965
00:32:55,650 --> 00:32:56,050
guy.

966
00:32:56,270 --> 00:32:56,890
He's now gone.

967
00:32:57,210 --> 00:32:57,730
Exactly.

968
00:32:58,330 --> 00:33:00,810
So when that guy's gone, you know, it's

969
00:33:00,810 --> 00:33:02,870
like the crew just went home, dude.

970
00:33:03,430 --> 00:33:05,130
Like shut the lights off when you leave

971
00:33:05,130 --> 00:33:05,570
the studio.

972
00:33:05,870 --> 00:33:07,450
I think this is over for him.

973
00:33:07,870 --> 00:33:09,650
What's your what's the second clip here?

974
00:33:10,490 --> 00:33:11,650
It's just a follow up.

975
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:15,430
It shows Ukraine can independently investigate and expose

976
00:33:15,430 --> 00:33:18,690
corruption, something Russia, he says, could never do.

977
00:33:18,690 --> 00:33:19,450
Here he is.

978
00:33:19,750 --> 00:33:23,250
For me, it's incredible that during a full

979
00:33:23,250 --> 00:33:26,790
scale war, they didn't drift to our democracy

980
00:33:26,790 --> 00:33:31,370
and we are still a democratic country with

981
00:33:31,370 --> 00:33:32,730
clear European values.

982
00:33:33,070 --> 00:33:34,530
And can you tell us the latest on

983
00:33:34,530 --> 00:33:36,770
the amended peace plan that negotiators are working

984
00:33:36,770 --> 00:33:37,070
from?

985
00:33:37,630 --> 00:33:40,090
Well, this is the amended plan after Ukraine

986
00:33:40,090 --> 00:33:42,050
and the Europeans weighed in on what was

987
00:33:42,050 --> 00:33:44,790
a very pro-Russian plan presented last week

988
00:33:44,790 --> 00:33:46,790
by White House envoy Steve Whitkoff.

989
00:33:46,790 --> 00:33:48,850
Zelensky has endorsed this one.

990
00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:51,530
But while Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested

991
00:33:51,530 --> 00:33:53,470
the plan could still be the basis of

992
00:33:53,470 --> 00:33:55,830
a settlement, he said Russia would only stop

993
00:33:55,830 --> 00:33:58,430
its war if Ukraine leaves territory it's currently

994
00:33:58,430 --> 00:33:59,170
occupying.

995
00:33:59,270 --> 00:34:01,790
And he was referring to parts of Ukraine's

996
00:34:01,790 --> 00:34:04,390
eastern Donbass region that Russia has not been

997
00:34:04,390 --> 00:34:06,110
able to take in nearly four years of

998
00:34:06,110 --> 00:34:06,410
fighting.

999
00:34:06,790 --> 00:34:08,590
Putin said if Ukraine doesn't leave, Russia will

1000
00:34:08,590 --> 00:34:10,010
take the land by force anyway.

1001
00:34:10,429 --> 00:34:12,389
And Ukrainians don't think Putin will stop.

1002
00:34:12,389 --> 00:34:14,570
And it's easy to understand why, Miles.

1003
00:34:14,850 --> 00:34:17,370
The Kremlin continues to attack Ukrainian cities.

1004
00:34:17,489 --> 00:34:19,810
Just last night, there was a massive combined

1005
00:34:19,810 --> 00:34:21,570
attack of drones and missiles on Kiev.

1006
00:34:21,949 --> 00:34:23,489
It went on for 10 hours.

1007
00:34:23,690 --> 00:34:24,530
Two people were killed.

1008
00:34:24,710 --> 00:34:25,409
Dozens injured.

1009
00:34:26,070 --> 00:34:26,690
Yeah, dozens.

1010
00:34:26,810 --> 00:34:27,550
I thought it was two.

1011
00:34:28,750 --> 00:34:29,630
I thought it was two.

1012
00:34:29,730 --> 00:34:30,530
Two killed.

1013
00:34:30,830 --> 00:34:31,590
Dozens injured.

1014
00:34:31,730 --> 00:34:33,510
After 10 hours of attacks.

1015
00:34:33,590 --> 00:34:34,850
OK, very effective.

1016
00:34:35,050 --> 00:34:35,409
All right.

1017
00:34:35,550 --> 00:34:38,110
So Zelensky is naked.

1018
00:34:38,489 --> 00:34:40,810
His guy's no longer with him.

1019
00:34:40,830 --> 00:34:41,969
The studio is empty.

1020
00:34:42,389 --> 00:34:43,830
The grips have left.

1021
00:34:44,530 --> 00:34:47,110
All of the costumes and all the wardrobe,

1022
00:34:47,290 --> 00:34:47,550
gone.

1023
00:34:47,810 --> 00:34:49,909
Wardrobe and makeup is gone.

1024
00:34:50,110 --> 00:34:51,389
He's going to have to do selfies.

1025
00:34:52,989 --> 00:34:57,850
Here's a report from, this is from, I

1026
00:34:57,850 --> 00:34:58,890
think it might be Euronews.

1027
00:34:59,530 --> 00:35:03,010
Tough speaker, but just get into it and

1028
00:35:03,010 --> 00:35:05,110
just let your mind hear what she's saying.

1029
00:35:05,630 --> 00:35:08,530
Because this is, and Euronews, as I said,

1030
00:35:08,890 --> 00:35:10,750
EU not wanting any of this.

1031
00:35:10,750 --> 00:35:12,690
They don't want any deal.

1032
00:35:12,810 --> 00:35:14,970
They want to keep the war going, including

1033
00:35:14,970 --> 00:35:16,470
the, let me see.

1034
00:35:16,590 --> 00:35:17,510
Hey, listen to this.

1035
00:35:17,590 --> 00:35:18,890
Just, you have to get into it.

1036
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:21,770
A new delegation chief for high-stakes talks.

1037
00:35:22,290 --> 00:35:23,470
No, this is not the bad one.

1038
00:35:23,530 --> 00:35:24,330
This is the good one.

1039
00:35:24,530 --> 00:35:27,570
Security Council Secretary Rustem Yumurov is now leading

1040
00:35:27,570 --> 00:35:29,870
the Ukrainian team heading to the US for

1041
00:35:29,870 --> 00:35:31,810
discussions on a peace deal that Washington is

1042
00:35:31,810 --> 00:35:34,130
aiming to broker between Kiev and Moscow.

1043
00:35:34,730 --> 00:35:36,810
It comes after the resignation of Andrei.

1044
00:35:37,170 --> 00:35:37,790
Hold on.

1045
00:35:37,790 --> 00:35:39,090
This is the wrong way around.

1046
00:35:39,510 --> 00:35:40,650
I want this one.

1047
00:35:41,030 --> 00:35:42,250
This is the one where they get the

1048
00:35:42,250 --> 00:35:43,170
French guy in here.

1049
00:35:43,490 --> 00:35:45,210
A new delegation chief for high- It's

1050
00:35:45,210 --> 00:35:46,010
the same clip.

1051
00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:47,350
What is that?

1052
00:35:47,670 --> 00:35:49,230
Oh, you screwed it up.

1053
00:35:49,350 --> 00:35:50,790
Let me see if the French guy's in

1054
00:35:50,790 --> 00:35:51,030
here.

1055
00:35:51,990 --> 00:35:54,890
The Ukrainian delegation has the necessary directives.

1056
00:35:55,150 --> 00:35:58,050
Others, however, are more skeptical, including this former

1057
00:35:58,050 --> 00:35:58,550
diplomat.

1058
00:35:59,830 --> 00:36:02,470
President Vladimir Putin has already said several times

1059
00:36:02,470 --> 00:36:04,590
that he doesn't want to sign any agreement

1060
00:36:04,590 --> 00:36:07,490
whatsoever, whether it's a ceasefire, a peace agreement

1061
00:36:07,490 --> 00:36:08,910
or any other kind of agreement.

1062
00:36:09,410 --> 00:36:11,370
We are far from reaching any kind of

1063
00:36:11,370 --> 00:36:11,670
agreement.

1064
00:36:12,070 --> 00:36:14,130
He doesn't want to sign with Zelensky because

1065
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:16,310
he considers him illegitimate.

1066
00:36:18,170 --> 00:36:21,190
After meeting the Ukrainian officials, Wyckoff is due

1067
00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:23,110
to travel to Russia next week to meet

1068
00:36:23,110 --> 00:36:24,510
with President Vladimir Putin.

1069
00:36:25,510 --> 00:36:28,250
Over in Europe, President Emmanuel Macron will hold

1070
00:36:28,250 --> 00:36:30,530
discussions with Zelensky in Paris on Monday.

1071
00:36:31,010 --> 00:36:33,410
According to the French presidency, the two leaders

1072
00:36:33,410 --> 00:36:35,250
will talk about the conditions for a just

1073
00:36:35,250 --> 00:36:36,190
and lasting peace.

1074
00:36:36,190 --> 00:36:38,910
All right, so the problem that still remains,

1075
00:36:39,110 --> 00:36:40,650
and we'll get to the solutions that are

1076
00:36:40,650 --> 00:36:41,990
on the table in a minute, with our

1077
00:36:41,990 --> 00:36:43,010
boy, Rassoulis.

1078
00:36:43,410 --> 00:36:44,590
I got a two-parter from him.

1079
00:36:46,730 --> 00:36:47,870
Hey, he's good.

1080
00:36:47,990 --> 00:36:48,890
He knows what he's doing.

1081
00:36:49,170 --> 00:36:50,870
Hopefully, he doesn't ask for commissions.

1082
00:36:53,070 --> 00:36:55,030
No, this may be the tough speaker.

1083
00:36:55,450 --> 00:36:56,670
This is about the money.

1084
00:36:57,830 --> 00:37:00,030
And I'm sure you didn't, no one heard

1085
00:37:00,030 --> 00:37:00,490
about it.

1086
00:37:00,550 --> 00:37:02,130
But yeah, really, if you looked really hard,

1087
00:37:02,170 --> 00:37:05,370
you could follow that the European Commission, i

1088
00:37:05,370 --> 00:37:08,730
.e. Queen Ursula, wants to take the money,

1089
00:37:08,990 --> 00:37:09,830
the Russian money.

1090
00:37:10,070 --> 00:37:11,770
All right, we've talked about this over and

1091
00:37:11,770 --> 00:37:11,910
over.

1092
00:37:12,010 --> 00:37:13,050
We talked about in the last show.

1093
00:37:13,130 --> 00:37:17,150
Yes, they want to basically ruin the world

1094
00:37:17,150 --> 00:37:18,430
financial system.

1095
00:37:19,150 --> 00:37:20,510
Maybe they're going to buy it this way.

1096
00:37:20,650 --> 00:37:23,950
Look, Swift's going to get submarine anyway by

1097
00:37:23,950 --> 00:37:25,510
stablecoin if that works.

1098
00:37:25,710 --> 00:37:25,810
Yeah.

1099
00:37:25,970 --> 00:37:28,190
So let's get the money and then hell

1100
00:37:28,190 --> 00:37:28,550
with it.

1101
00:37:28,830 --> 00:37:30,970
Well, it's only like 300 billion.

1102
00:37:31,170 --> 00:37:32,650
I mean, it's a lot to blow up

1103
00:37:32,650 --> 00:37:32,750
the city.

1104
00:37:32,750 --> 00:37:33,490
Yeah, but it's 300 billion.

1105
00:37:34,690 --> 00:37:38,610
So they are, they're just incessant.

1106
00:37:38,710 --> 00:37:40,470
We need this money.

1107
00:37:40,650 --> 00:37:43,510
And Brussels, where Euroclear is, that's where the

1108
00:37:43,510 --> 00:37:44,610
actual money is.

1109
00:37:45,130 --> 00:37:47,050
And when I say actual money, I guess

1110
00:37:47,050 --> 00:37:49,370
it's just some data.

1111
00:37:49,630 --> 00:37:51,930
I don't know if Euroclear holds gold or

1112
00:37:51,930 --> 00:37:53,970
I don't know what real money this is.

1113
00:37:53,970 --> 00:37:55,310
Which reminds me.

1114
00:37:55,330 --> 00:37:55,810
Yes.

1115
00:37:57,010 --> 00:37:59,330
Where's their Fort Knox people that are supposed

1116
00:37:59,330 --> 00:38:00,250
to go in with the cameras?

1117
00:38:01,670 --> 00:38:04,190
Since Trump got elected, they were talking about

1118
00:38:04,190 --> 00:38:04,290
it.

1119
00:38:04,330 --> 00:38:06,450
What happens when you're here and there's nobody

1120
00:38:06,450 --> 00:38:07,170
going in there?

1121
00:38:07,210 --> 00:38:08,210
Where's my live stream?

1122
00:38:10,450 --> 00:38:13,390
And Brussels sent a stern letter and said,

1123
00:38:13,470 --> 00:38:15,690
no, no, we don't want that because they

1124
00:38:15,690 --> 00:38:17,630
know that they're going to have a target

1125
00:38:17,630 --> 00:38:19,610
on their backs if they all of a

1126
00:38:19,610 --> 00:38:20,790
sudden give up this money.

1127
00:38:20,870 --> 00:38:22,250
So like, no, you can't do that.

1128
00:38:22,490 --> 00:38:23,110
Here's the report.

1129
00:38:23,190 --> 00:38:24,290
This may be the tough lady.

1130
00:38:24,370 --> 00:38:25,070
It's tough to hear.

1131
00:38:25,270 --> 00:38:27,410
In an interview with Euronews on the morning

1132
00:38:27,410 --> 00:38:30,910
show Europe Today, EU ambassador to Ukraine, Katarina

1133
00:38:30,910 --> 00:38:33,890
Maternova, called on the EU to move forward

1134
00:38:33,890 --> 00:38:35,570
with the Russian frozen assets debate.

1135
00:38:35,930 --> 00:38:39,050
If seized, the assets could secure 140 billion

1136
00:38:39,050 --> 00:38:41,910
euros reparations loan to Ukraine to fund its

1137
00:38:41,910 --> 00:38:42,470
war effort.

1138
00:38:43,210 --> 00:38:46,070
Very important is to move on the Russian

1139
00:38:46,070 --> 00:38:46,930
frozen assets.

1140
00:38:47,110 --> 00:38:50,450
That's what the commission presented as the three

1141
00:38:50,450 --> 00:38:55,490
potential avenues, how to secure money for Ukraine,

1142
00:38:55,630 --> 00:38:58,490
which would send an important signal not only

1143
00:38:58,490 --> 00:39:01,130
to Ukraine, but to Russia as well, that

1144
00:39:01,130 --> 00:39:03,510
Europe will stay with Ukraine.

1145
00:39:03,650 --> 00:39:05,210
These people are delusional.

1146
00:39:05,370 --> 00:39:06,470
Oh, it'll send a message.

1147
00:39:06,470 --> 00:39:07,170
All right.

1148
00:39:07,790 --> 00:39:09,550
So it sends an important message to the

1149
00:39:09,550 --> 00:39:09,890
people.

1150
00:39:10,130 --> 00:39:11,410
Are you kidding me?

1151
00:39:11,590 --> 00:39:13,350
The message that knows our money is that

1152
00:39:13,350 --> 00:39:14,730
no one can trust you.

1153
00:39:14,950 --> 00:39:17,650
Ultimately, it is the Belgian government that holds

1154
00:39:17,650 --> 00:39:19,530
the key as the host country of the

1155
00:39:19,530 --> 00:39:21,330
assets depository Euroclear.

1156
00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:23,830
It has, however, yet to give the green

1157
00:39:23,830 --> 00:39:24,110
light.

1158
00:39:24,110 --> 00:39:27,670
Belgian Prime Minister Badewever sent a strongly worded

1159
00:39:27,670 --> 00:39:29,950
letter to the European Commission on Thursday night,

1160
00:39:30,450 --> 00:39:33,430
saying the reparations loan is fundamentally wrong and

1161
00:39:33,430 --> 00:39:36,430
that he remains unequivocally clear about the dangers

1162
00:39:36,430 --> 00:39:37,150
diplomatic.

1163
00:39:37,270 --> 00:39:39,350
I think they do this voice on purpose

1164
00:39:39,350 --> 00:39:41,350
so we can't understand what's going on.

1165
00:39:41,450 --> 00:39:42,990
You know, it's not that you can't hear

1166
00:39:42,990 --> 00:39:43,610
the words.

1167
00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:44,670
It's the cadence.

1168
00:39:44,990 --> 00:39:45,730
It's horrible.

1169
00:39:46,070 --> 00:39:49,190
It's some weird cadence that's almost impossible to

1170
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:49,750
pick up on.

1171
00:39:49,850 --> 00:39:52,310
I mean, the individual words are there, but

1172
00:39:52,310 --> 00:39:53,410
it's the way it's presented.

1173
00:39:53,410 --> 00:39:55,330
I mean, it's very strange.

1174
00:39:55,470 --> 00:39:56,450
You might be right.

1175
00:39:56,530 --> 00:39:57,410
It might be hypnotic.

1176
00:39:57,550 --> 00:39:59,990
In this case, I would say go for

1177
00:39:59,990 --> 00:40:01,150
AI, please.

1178
00:40:01,350 --> 00:40:04,850
Diplomatic efforts at the highest echelons continue, but

1179
00:40:04,850 --> 00:40:07,210
the clock is ticking before EU leaders gather

1180
00:40:07,210 --> 00:40:09,150
for a summit in December for a crunch

1181
00:40:09,150 --> 00:40:09,630
decision.

1182
00:40:09,930 --> 00:40:12,430
For her part, Matanova echoed these concerns.

1183
00:40:12,890 --> 00:40:18,450
Sanctions and deliveries and support to the Ukrainian

1184
00:40:18,450 --> 00:40:22,270
armed forces and the defense industry are all

1185
00:40:22,270 --> 00:40:22,790
critical.

1186
00:40:23,410 --> 00:40:26,370
You ask what would happen if it doesn't

1187
00:40:26,370 --> 00:40:27,870
take place.

1188
00:40:28,010 --> 00:40:30,070
I think the stakes are very high and

1189
00:40:30,070 --> 00:40:32,770
not only for Ukraine, but for all of

1190
00:40:32,770 --> 00:40:33,050
Europe.

1191
00:40:33,510 --> 00:40:36,130
Yes, well, mainly for the military industrial base,

1192
00:40:36,150 --> 00:40:38,130
which is building up in the EU.

1193
00:40:39,730 --> 00:40:42,050
Leonardo, Leonardo, we've heard of that as a

1194
00:40:42,050 --> 00:40:43,530
big defense contractor.

1195
00:40:44,230 --> 00:40:47,270
They just unveiled the Michelangelo dome.

1196
00:40:48,150 --> 00:40:50,430
Yes, we're trying to do one better than

1197
00:40:50,430 --> 00:40:51,770
your Golden Dome, Trump.

1198
00:40:51,770 --> 00:40:55,190
It's an AI powered shield system.

1199
00:40:56,470 --> 00:41:00,250
Can you say boondoggle?

1200
00:41:00,530 --> 00:41:01,710
Boondoggle, what?

1201
00:41:02,370 --> 00:41:04,890
An AI powered shield system.

1202
00:41:05,170 --> 00:41:07,810
So it's why is it named Michelangelo?

1203
00:41:08,530 --> 00:41:10,070
Well, the company is Leonardo.

1204
00:41:11,550 --> 00:41:13,010
So they're trying to...

1205
00:41:13,390 --> 00:41:14,790
Yes, well, just Leonardo.

1206
00:41:15,090 --> 00:41:18,310
How many Leonardo's do you know except DiCaprio?

1207
00:41:19,370 --> 00:41:20,450
Da Vinci?

1208
00:41:20,690 --> 00:41:21,430
Yes, Da Vinci.

1209
00:41:21,430 --> 00:41:23,790
What's it got to do with the...

1210
00:41:23,790 --> 00:41:24,630
Michelangelo.

1211
00:41:26,170 --> 00:41:28,950
Michelangelo wasn't Leonardo Michelangelo?

1212
00:41:29,130 --> 00:41:31,070
It's right in the same city.

1213
00:41:31,750 --> 00:41:32,590
Oh, OK.

1214
00:41:33,490 --> 00:41:34,510
Same country.

1215
00:41:34,650 --> 00:41:35,330
Oh, I get it.

1216
00:41:35,930 --> 00:41:37,230
It's a dumb name.

1217
00:41:37,350 --> 00:41:38,010
And so it's the same...

1218
00:41:38,010 --> 00:41:38,830
Yeah, OK, I got it.

1219
00:41:39,350 --> 00:41:40,510
Michelangelo dome.

1220
00:41:41,910 --> 00:41:42,470
Michelangelo.

1221
00:41:42,810 --> 00:41:47,590
So here's our boy, Rassoulis, in his back

1222
00:41:47,590 --> 00:41:50,610
to the pullovers, his back to the sweaters.

1223
00:41:51,550 --> 00:41:55,530
On CBC, a very globalist interview, actually, only

1224
00:41:55,530 --> 00:41:56,290
got two clips.

1225
00:41:56,850 --> 00:41:59,470
First, we'll talk about Zelensky's main guy stepping

1226
00:41:59,470 --> 00:41:59,810
down.

1227
00:41:59,970 --> 00:42:01,930
And does that affect everything?

1228
00:42:02,270 --> 00:42:03,690
Let's talk about the timing of this, because

1229
00:42:03,690 --> 00:42:05,910
it is quite a turbulent time politically for

1230
00:42:05,910 --> 00:42:09,430
Ukraine, particularly Zelensky dealing with the fallout from

1231
00:42:09,430 --> 00:42:10,490
that corruption scandal.

1232
00:42:10,750 --> 00:42:13,610
His chief of staff and key negotiator stepped

1233
00:42:13,610 --> 00:42:14,510
down on Friday.

1234
00:42:14,670 --> 00:42:16,390
So what kind of pressure is that now

1235
00:42:16,390 --> 00:42:18,790
putting on Zelensky in these negotiations?

1236
00:42:18,790 --> 00:42:21,510
It certainly makes him weaker now.

1237
00:42:22,490 --> 00:42:24,590
You have people from the opposition who are

1238
00:42:24,590 --> 00:42:25,750
starting to snipe.

1239
00:42:26,590 --> 00:42:31,210
You have Zhiluny, the Ukrainian ambassador in London,

1240
00:42:31,330 --> 00:42:33,590
who was a former commander of Ukrainian forces,

1241
00:42:33,750 --> 00:42:36,470
is now writing articles about how to conclude

1242
00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:37,010
a peace.

1243
00:42:37,150 --> 00:42:38,590
And you may have to make some deals

1244
00:42:38,590 --> 00:42:39,470
on security guarantees.

1245
00:42:39,970 --> 00:42:41,770
I mean, people are coming out now and

1246
00:42:41,770 --> 00:42:45,870
basically kind of second tiering opinions against Zelensky.

1247
00:42:46,030 --> 00:42:47,910
So Zelensky is weaker.

1248
00:42:48,790 --> 00:42:50,970
And he's got a new team together, yes.

1249
00:42:51,490 --> 00:42:53,650
But it just does not look good on

1250
00:42:53,650 --> 00:42:55,730
him, the fact that you have these corruption

1251
00:42:55,730 --> 00:42:58,850
scandals, particularly in the area of energy, when

1252
00:42:58,850 --> 00:43:01,030
the Russians are actually hitting the energy grid

1253
00:43:01,030 --> 00:43:05,450
in Ukraine, and ministers are actually taking 15

1254
00:43:05,450 --> 00:43:07,650
% off the top in terms of contracts

1255
00:43:07,650 --> 00:43:08,690
to fix the energy grid.

1256
00:43:08,970 --> 00:43:12,510
Yeah, that's how you do it.

1257
00:43:13,350 --> 00:43:15,270
You make sure that you take some money

1258
00:43:15,270 --> 00:43:17,050
and let the grid get blown up and

1259
00:43:17,050 --> 00:43:18,490
take some money off of the repair for

1260
00:43:18,490 --> 00:43:19,190
the grid.

1261
00:43:19,650 --> 00:43:20,190
Who knows?

1262
00:43:20,290 --> 00:43:21,290
They could be doing it themselves.

1263
00:43:22,250 --> 00:43:23,990
So now we get to the meat of

1264
00:43:23,990 --> 00:43:24,210
it.

1265
00:43:24,870 --> 00:43:30,070
And this globalist newsreader is very biased.

1266
00:43:30,710 --> 00:43:33,070
So the question is, what about the plan?

1267
00:43:33,950 --> 00:43:37,670
And our favorite terms de jure, de facto,

1268
00:43:38,170 --> 00:43:41,210
and demilitarized zone all are at play.

1269
00:43:41,950 --> 00:43:44,110
You know, looking at the initial plan, Trump's

1270
00:43:44,110 --> 00:43:46,470
initial 28-point peace plan, it was criticized

1271
00:43:46,470 --> 00:43:48,250
as being too weighted towards Russia.

1272
00:43:48,390 --> 00:43:50,190
It was called a Russian wish list at

1273
00:43:50,190 --> 00:43:52,310
one point by some who were criticizing that.

1274
00:43:52,530 --> 00:43:53,410
I didn't hear that.

1275
00:43:53,590 --> 00:43:55,010
Did you hear Russian wish list?

1276
00:43:55,910 --> 00:43:56,350
What?

1277
00:43:56,550 --> 00:43:56,710
What?

1278
00:43:56,830 --> 00:43:57,470
Russian what?

1279
00:43:57,650 --> 00:44:00,590
The 28-point plan was, by some, called

1280
00:44:00,590 --> 00:44:02,150
a Russian wish list.

1281
00:44:02,910 --> 00:44:03,950
A wish list.

1282
00:44:04,570 --> 00:44:05,470
I didn't hear that.

1283
00:44:05,870 --> 00:44:06,910
I haven't heard it.

1284
00:44:06,950 --> 00:44:08,630
No, they say it was written by the

1285
00:44:08,630 --> 00:44:12,290
Russians or it was Putin's plan, but I

1286
00:44:12,290 --> 00:44:14,210
never heard about that wish list.

1287
00:44:14,210 --> 00:44:16,210
She's a globalist newsreader.

1288
00:44:16,470 --> 00:44:18,590
And part of that included Ukraine ceding the

1289
00:44:18,590 --> 00:44:20,990
entire eastern region of the Donbass to Russia,

1290
00:44:21,170 --> 00:44:22,670
which, of course, is a non-starter for

1291
00:44:22,670 --> 00:44:22,930
Kyiv.

1292
00:44:23,030 --> 00:44:24,870
So is there any wiggle room here?

1293
00:44:25,170 --> 00:44:28,030
And how can they possibly have or find

1294
00:44:28,030 --> 00:44:30,010
a middle ground when it comes to creating

1295
00:44:30,010 --> 00:44:30,570
this framework?

1296
00:44:30,870 --> 00:44:32,290
Sure, I don't think we're looking for a

1297
00:44:32,290 --> 00:44:34,530
middle ground, again, because the balance of forces

1298
00:44:34,530 --> 00:44:35,410
favors the Russians.

1299
00:44:35,470 --> 00:44:37,110
So I think it's going to be more

1300
00:44:37,110 --> 00:44:38,890
give on the Ukrainian side, less give on

1301
00:44:38,890 --> 00:44:40,470
the Russian side, but the Russians might give

1302
00:44:40,470 --> 00:44:41,170
something.

1303
00:44:41,730 --> 00:44:44,650
Now, the thing about the territory, the magic

1304
00:44:44,650 --> 00:44:47,750
words is not to cede by law.

1305
00:44:47,930 --> 00:44:49,470
That is not de jure.

1306
00:44:49,770 --> 00:44:52,070
And the Russians have accepted the fact that

1307
00:44:52,070 --> 00:44:54,890
all they're requiring, the Ukrainians and the West,

1308
00:44:55,230 --> 00:44:56,070
is to acknowledge.

1309
00:44:56,290 --> 00:44:57,790
It's really, I think, stop using the word

1310
00:44:57,790 --> 00:45:00,110
cede, but actually it's better to use, acknowledge

1311
00:45:00,110 --> 00:45:03,670
the fact that the Russian forces control and

1312
00:45:03,670 --> 00:45:05,510
occupy the areas they do.

1313
00:45:06,010 --> 00:45:07,350
And that's a major difference.

1314
00:45:07,450 --> 00:45:08,710
So de facto, not de jure.

1315
00:45:08,930 --> 00:45:12,230
Now, the key pivot here in these final

1316
00:45:12,230 --> 00:45:15,530
negotiations will be, as you mentioned, ceding or

1317
00:45:15,530 --> 00:45:18,210
giving up the rest of the Donbass, particularly

1318
00:45:18,210 --> 00:45:20,610
the fortress built in Donetsk.

1319
00:45:21,210 --> 00:45:24,070
That, for the Russians, is really important.

1320
00:45:24,310 --> 00:45:25,970
And for the Ukrainians, really important to hold.

1321
00:45:26,150 --> 00:45:27,890
I think a lot will shift on that.

1322
00:45:28,130 --> 00:45:30,570
And I cannot predict the outcome, except that

1323
00:45:30,570 --> 00:45:34,850
a demilitarized zone concept may be a solution

1324
00:45:34,850 --> 00:45:35,190
there.

1325
00:45:35,350 --> 00:45:37,230
Yeah, this is going to be just like

1326
00:45:37,230 --> 00:45:38,450
North and South Korea.

1327
00:45:39,630 --> 00:45:43,510
Demilitarized zone, de facto, that's yours, that's ours.

1328
00:45:43,650 --> 00:45:47,130
We're not going to paper the deal, because

1329
00:45:47,130 --> 00:45:50,710
Europe still needs their boogeyman at the border.

1330
00:45:51,730 --> 00:45:53,210
And I think this deal will happen.

1331
00:45:53,350 --> 00:45:55,350
I think there's a good chance it happens

1332
00:45:55,350 --> 00:45:55,810
this weekend.

1333
00:45:56,790 --> 00:45:58,190
I think it'll be pulled up.

1334
00:45:58,390 --> 00:45:59,670
There's nothing left.

1335
00:45:59,830 --> 00:46:01,510
But this weekend's almost over.

1336
00:46:03,470 --> 00:46:08,770
Well, by the time you hear this podcast.

1337
00:46:09,430 --> 00:46:12,290
After the, right, well, there you go.

1338
00:46:12,390 --> 00:46:13,010
That's possible.

1339
00:46:13,590 --> 00:46:15,770
But after the Mar-a-Lago meeting, have

1340
00:46:15,770 --> 00:46:16,350
you looked it up?

1341
00:46:16,450 --> 00:46:17,370
Did you figure out where they're going to

1342
00:46:17,370 --> 00:46:17,570
meet?

1343
00:46:17,730 --> 00:46:18,710
Yeah, I looked it up.

1344
00:46:18,970 --> 00:46:19,950
Is it going to be Universal World, or

1345
00:46:19,950 --> 00:46:21,170
Disney, or Orlando?

1346
00:46:21,450 --> 00:46:24,350
Well, according to Gemini, because, you know, Gemini

1347
00:46:24,350 --> 00:46:25,290
is not the best AI.

1348
00:46:27,790 --> 00:46:31,030
Well, according to the marketing, yes.

1349
00:46:32,870 --> 00:46:33,750
Technically, no.

1350
00:46:34,470 --> 00:46:37,830
The talks taking place today, Sunday, November 30th,

1351
00:46:37,850 --> 00:46:40,570
2025, are not being held directly at Mar

1352
00:46:40,570 --> 00:46:43,150
-a-Lago, though they are happening nearby in

1353
00:46:43,150 --> 00:46:46,530
Florida, involving key members of President-elect Trump's

1354
00:46:46,530 --> 00:46:47,190
inner circle.

1355
00:46:48,490 --> 00:46:51,170
They will be taking place at the Hollandale

1356
00:46:51,170 --> 00:46:57,610
Beach Shell Bay Club, a golf and rocket

1357
00:46:57,610 --> 00:46:59,770
club developed by Trump's special envoy.

1358
00:46:59,810 --> 00:47:00,870
Oh, it's Whitkoff's club.

1359
00:47:01,150 --> 00:47:05,390
Oh, Whitkoff owns a golf club too?

1360
00:47:05,550 --> 00:47:06,690
I guess so, yeah.

1361
00:47:08,070 --> 00:47:12,210
The Hollandale Beach at the Shell Bay Club.

1362
00:47:12,330 --> 00:47:14,090
That's about an hour south of Mar-a

1363
00:47:14,090 --> 00:47:14,290
-Lago.

1364
00:47:14,430 --> 00:47:15,870
Well, that's neutral ground.

1365
00:47:17,370 --> 00:47:19,410
I think that's Whitkoff.

1366
00:47:20,150 --> 00:47:21,670
Hey, we'll do it at my club.

1367
00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:22,530
All right.

1368
00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:24,350
I'm going to do it at my club.

1369
00:47:24,510 --> 00:47:25,690
I want my club, man.

1370
00:47:25,810 --> 00:47:26,490
My club is better.

1371
00:47:26,830 --> 00:47:27,550
I want my club.

1372
00:47:27,590 --> 00:47:28,550
My club is better.

1373
00:47:31,030 --> 00:47:32,650
Ah, crazy times we live in.

1374
00:47:32,710 --> 00:47:33,910
Crazy, crazy times.

1375
00:47:34,630 --> 00:47:35,390
All right.

1376
00:47:35,490 --> 00:47:39,350
So we have the Islam Op has taken

1377
00:47:39,350 --> 00:47:39,730
off.

1378
00:47:40,830 --> 00:47:45,290
And this happens on the heels of this

1379
00:47:47,770 --> 00:47:51,250
shooting in D.C. of the two guardsmen.

1380
00:47:51,350 --> 00:47:54,270
One female passed away and one in critical

1381
00:47:54,270 --> 00:47:54,790
condition.

1382
00:47:54,870 --> 00:47:55,890
Do you have any clips on that?

1383
00:47:56,590 --> 00:47:58,450
I don't have anything on it.

1384
00:47:58,830 --> 00:48:01,010
In the newsletter, I was talking about the

1385
00:48:01,010 --> 00:48:03,530
color revolution concept.

1386
00:48:03,530 --> 00:48:03,910
Yep.

1387
00:48:04,890 --> 00:48:06,190
I'm going to get which we'll talk about,

1388
00:48:06,330 --> 00:48:06,650
I guess.

1389
00:48:06,790 --> 00:48:07,030
Yes.

1390
00:48:07,130 --> 00:48:09,850
And but no, I don't because there's nothing

1391
00:48:09,850 --> 00:48:10,710
to me.

1392
00:48:10,810 --> 00:48:11,970
There's nothing really.

1393
00:48:15,050 --> 00:48:17,430
I'm just not that excited about it.

1394
00:48:17,470 --> 00:48:19,010
I mean, I feel bad about the woman

1395
00:48:19,010 --> 00:48:19,770
getting killed.

1396
00:48:20,390 --> 00:48:21,910
It is interesting.

1397
00:48:22,130 --> 00:48:25,130
Also interesting that this guy's probably a spook.

1398
00:48:25,570 --> 00:48:28,130
And he came all the way from Bellingham,

1399
00:48:28,350 --> 00:48:30,950
Washington, one way or the other to come

1400
00:48:30,950 --> 00:48:33,110
to Washington, D.C. to shoot two random

1401
00:48:33,110 --> 00:48:33,510
people.

1402
00:48:33,630 --> 00:48:35,530
The whole thing, you know, reminds me a

1403
00:48:35,530 --> 00:48:38,470
little bit of the shooting in New York

1404
00:48:38,470 --> 00:48:40,710
that they covered up where the guy came

1405
00:48:40,710 --> 00:48:42,410
in and shot the Blackstone woman.

1406
00:48:42,810 --> 00:48:42,950
Yeah.

1407
00:48:43,090 --> 00:48:45,090
And they claimed it was he's shooting at

1408
00:48:45,090 --> 00:48:47,450
the NFL for some reason because he's got

1409
00:48:47,450 --> 00:48:49,530
brain damage, even though he never played football

1410
00:48:49,530 --> 00:48:50,130
in the NFL.

1411
00:48:51,390 --> 00:48:53,530
And they just to cover up the Blackstone

1412
00:48:53,530 --> 00:48:55,310
killing because Blackstone's an issue.

1413
00:48:56,170 --> 00:48:58,150
And they were and he came from an

1414
00:48:58,150 --> 00:49:00,570
area where they were dominating buying up properties.

1415
00:49:00,810 --> 00:49:01,050
Yeah.

1416
00:49:01,050 --> 00:49:02,050
So it made sense.

1417
00:49:02,170 --> 00:49:04,050
I get the sense of something like that

1418
00:49:04,050 --> 00:49:05,550
going on, but I can't put my finger

1419
00:49:05,550 --> 00:49:06,370
on what it is.

1420
00:49:06,430 --> 00:49:06,990
And why would he?

1421
00:49:07,190 --> 00:49:09,030
Well, we don't have enough information.

1422
00:49:09,230 --> 00:49:10,990
It felt to me a very six week

1423
00:49:10,990 --> 00:49:14,410
cycle like, you know, rile a guy up,

1424
00:49:14,470 --> 00:49:16,590
get him to go to D.C., shoot

1425
00:49:16,590 --> 00:49:17,090
something.

1426
00:49:17,330 --> 00:49:18,970
Somebody had a bit of that.

1427
00:49:19,090 --> 00:49:20,730
That is not the official story.

1428
00:49:21,570 --> 00:49:22,790
In fact, we'll do this for just a

1429
00:49:22,790 --> 00:49:23,010
little bit.

1430
00:49:23,090 --> 00:49:23,310
I have it.

1431
00:49:23,670 --> 00:49:25,270
By the way, it does have a slight

1432
00:49:25,270 --> 00:49:27,770
six week cycle screwed up.

1433
00:49:27,890 --> 00:49:29,290
You know, they screwed up again like they

1434
00:49:29,290 --> 00:49:30,150
did in Butler.

1435
00:49:31,050 --> 00:49:32,750
You know, when when they when they got

1436
00:49:32,750 --> 00:49:33,770
the guy, they have pictures.

1437
00:49:33,930 --> 00:49:35,330
Why was the guy completely naked?

1438
00:49:36,990 --> 00:49:38,210
Did you see these?

1439
00:49:38,590 --> 00:49:39,170
Yeah, yeah.

1440
00:49:39,250 --> 00:49:41,250
There's pictures of they got the guy and

1441
00:49:41,250 --> 00:49:42,630
they got him on a stretcher.

1442
00:49:43,850 --> 00:49:45,250
And he's completely naked.

1443
00:49:48,060 --> 00:49:49,260
Are you sure there was an AI?

1444
00:49:50,220 --> 00:49:51,040
Who knows?

1445
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:52,460
I'm not sure of anything anymore.

1446
00:49:52,780 --> 00:49:55,800
Here's the the most recent fallout over this.

1447
00:49:56,220 --> 00:49:58,240
New this morning, President Trump says he plans

1448
00:49:58,240 --> 00:50:01,820
to suspend immigration from what he calls third

1449
00:50:01,820 --> 00:50:02,940
world countries.

1450
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,260
The announcement comes after a shooting in downtown

1451
00:50:05,260 --> 00:50:07,260
D.C. that killed a National Guard member

1452
00:50:07,260 --> 00:50:08,640
and critically injured another.

1453
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:10,880
Police say the suspect is a 29 year

1454
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,480
old Afghan national who arrived in 2021.

1455
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,220
Trump has not said when the suspension would

1456
00:50:16,220 --> 00:50:18,360
begin or which countries it would include.

1457
00:50:18,540 --> 00:50:19,620
OK, here's a follow up.

1458
00:50:19,860 --> 00:50:23,340
And you've you've made changes for Afghanis ability

1459
00:50:23,340 --> 00:50:24,480
to apply for asylum.

1460
00:50:24,620 --> 00:50:26,860
Do you blame all Afghans for this one

1461
00:50:26,860 --> 00:50:27,100
man?

1462
00:50:27,540 --> 00:50:29,380
No, but we've had a lot of problems

1463
00:50:29,380 --> 00:50:31,480
with Afghans because a lot of them coming

1464
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,000
in on these planes.

1465
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:34,480
Again, I show you this picture.

1466
00:50:35,100 --> 00:50:36,880
So he's showing the picture that we've all

1467
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,360
seen, I think, of the C-130s completely

1468
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,280
packed with people, the people who supposedly were

1469
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:44,600
hanging on the aircraft.

1470
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:45,280
Remember that?

1471
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,840
Remember that they were they were hanging on

1472
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,360
to the sides of that inflatable fake aircraft.

1473
00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:53,600
But inside there were indeed hundreds of people.

1474
00:50:53,900 --> 00:50:55,560
Planes again, I show you this picture.

1475
00:50:56,060 --> 00:50:57,340
We had a lot of them coming in

1476
00:50:57,340 --> 00:50:59,940
on these planes that are so good.

1477
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:01,540
There was no checking.

1478
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:03,040
They just poured into the plane.

1479
00:51:04,340 --> 00:51:06,380
And many of these people are criminals.

1480
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:08,020
Many of these people are people that shouldn't

1481
00:51:08,020 --> 00:51:08,480
be here.

1482
00:51:08,700 --> 00:51:10,580
And many of them have been gotten out.

1483
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,780
I mean, we've gotten out some a lot

1484
00:51:12,780 --> 00:51:14,120
of the people that, you know, we've taken

1485
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:15,060
a lot of them out of here.

1486
00:51:15,300 --> 00:51:16,640
Well, they can't be happy.

1487
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,480
OK, they can't be happy because what's taking

1488
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,120
place between that, if you look at Somalia,

1489
00:51:23,140 --> 00:51:26,500
they're taking over Minnesota and they are.

1490
00:51:27,180 --> 00:51:28,840
We got a lot of problems with the

1491
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,100
gangs, with all of the things taking place

1492
00:51:31,100 --> 00:51:31,660
in Minnesota.

1493
00:51:31,820 --> 00:51:33,760
We have an incompetent governor, a dope.

1494
00:51:34,060 --> 00:51:34,560
We have a dope.

1495
00:51:36,340 --> 00:51:38,060
We got a dope there.

1496
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,420
They can't be happy about what's going on.

1497
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,640
And if you talk about the Afghans, you

1498
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,460
know, there's a problem because so many bad

1499
00:51:46,460 --> 00:51:47,900
ones came in on the planes.

1500
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:48,800
They just walked in.

1501
00:51:49,020 --> 00:51:51,440
Whoever the strongest people were physically in a

1502
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:51,940
way.

1503
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,140
But whoever the strongest they got on the

1504
00:51:54,140 --> 00:51:55,080
planes, there was no checking.

1505
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,180
They just swapped the planes.

1506
00:51:57,420 --> 00:51:58,100
They took off.

1507
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,840
We had no idea who they were.

1508
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,680
OK, so we had no idea.

1509
00:52:04,020 --> 00:52:05,780
And in many cases we did not.

1510
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,020
And there was and absolutely there were a

1511
00:52:08,020 --> 00:52:11,900
lot of Afghanis similar to Iraq who worked

1512
00:52:11,900 --> 00:52:14,680
as translators and worked closely.

1513
00:52:14,820 --> 00:52:15,260
This was it.

1514
00:52:15,380 --> 00:52:16,360
This is a different deal.

1515
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,220
This is a, you know, it's a little

1516
00:52:19,220 --> 00:52:21,700
vague about, yeah, I was a CIA trained.

1517
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,600
These are basically mercenaries as far as I

1518
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:24,980
can tell.

1519
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:26,760
And they were doing a lot in northern

1520
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,900
Afghanistan, even when everybody pulled out because they

1521
00:52:29,900 --> 00:52:31,760
were still fighting, I guess, the Kurds up

1522
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:32,600
there or something.

1523
00:52:33,060 --> 00:52:36,300
So it's very sketchy as to his CIA

1524
00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:37,840
training and connection.

1525
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,240
Unfortunately, if you're the female reporter who asked

1526
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:44,380
about this, you got the brunt of President

1527
00:52:44,380 --> 00:52:44,760
Trump.

1528
00:52:45,220 --> 00:52:47,640
Your DOJ IG just reported this year that

1529
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,640
there was thorough vetting by DHS and by

1530
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,020
the FBI of these Afghans who were brought

1531
00:52:53,020 --> 00:52:54,440
into the US.

1532
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,040
So why do you blame the Biden administration?

1533
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:58,160
Because they let them in.

1534
00:52:58,520 --> 00:52:59,200
Are you stupid?

1535
00:52:59,500 --> 00:53:00,760
Are you a stupid person?

1536
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,920
Because they came in on a plane along

1537
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,200
with thousands of other people that shouldn't be

1538
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:06,560
here.

1539
00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:08,840
And you're just asking questions because you're a

1540
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:09,600
stupid person.

1541
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:10,340
There you go.

1542
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,400
Well, you know, I missed that.

1543
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:14,860
Are you a stupid person?

1544
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,160
OK, now, for whatever.

1545
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,440
If you're I'm trying to always imagine if

1546
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:21,280
you're a reporter.

1547
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:21,820
Yeah.

1548
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,020
And you have this question list and you

1549
00:53:24,020 --> 00:53:26,180
have to get some response or other.

1550
00:53:26,900 --> 00:53:29,660
And you ask, you know, it's innocuous.

1551
00:53:30,860 --> 00:53:32,060
He could have been nicer.

1552
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,880
But then they blast her.

1553
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,400
Just gets blasted out of the water.

1554
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,820
And maybe at some point it becomes a

1555
00:53:42,820 --> 00:53:44,820
badge of some sort.

1556
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:45,640
You know, oh, I got.

1557
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:46,840
Oh, definitely.

1558
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:47,540
Oh, of course.

1559
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,200
Hey, Trump called me stupid.

1560
00:53:49,380 --> 00:53:49,760
Wow.

1561
00:53:50,300 --> 00:53:51,740
Have a drink on me.

1562
00:53:52,540 --> 00:53:54,980
So what's interesting is the Sunday shows.

1563
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,520
Thank you, Steve, for getting that for me.

1564
00:53:58,980 --> 00:54:01,740
The Sunday shows it was Kristi Noem everywhere.

1565
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,720
It wasn't Kash Patel.

1566
00:54:05,780 --> 00:54:07,100
Yeah, Kristi Noem is on it.

1567
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:07,740
She's got it.

1568
00:54:08,100 --> 00:54:08,680
She's yes.

1569
00:54:08,780 --> 00:54:11,240
She's been booked to an extreme everywhere.

1570
00:54:11,460 --> 00:54:14,060
So she's the one sending out the messaging

1571
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,160
and she's good at it.

1572
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,920
And this is her with Jonathan Karl on

1573
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:19,280
ABC.

1574
00:54:19,500 --> 00:54:22,060
Let's turn to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

1575
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,260
Secretary Noem, thank you for joining us.

1576
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,020
Have we learned any?

1577
00:54:26,100 --> 00:54:29,580
Have you learned anything about the motivations of

1578
00:54:29,580 --> 00:54:30,120
this shooter?

1579
00:54:30,420 --> 00:54:31,780
Why did he do this?

1580
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,060
Why did he drive across the country and

1581
00:54:34,060 --> 00:54:36,020
carry out this brazen attack in Washington?

1582
00:54:38,750 --> 00:54:40,770
Well, the investigation is still ongoing and we're

1583
00:54:40,770 --> 00:54:44,050
allowing our partnership with the FBI and DOJ

1584
00:54:44,050 --> 00:54:47,070
to continue to reveal all of the sources

1585
00:54:47,070 --> 00:54:47,770
of motivation.

1586
00:54:48,030 --> 00:54:49,850
But we do believe this individual when they

1587
00:54:49,850 --> 00:54:51,530
came into the country, we know he was

1588
00:54:51,530 --> 00:54:51,950
unvetted.

1589
00:54:51,950 --> 00:54:53,810
He was brought into the country by the

1590
00:54:53,810 --> 00:54:58,390
Biden administration through Operation Allies Welcome and then

1591
00:54:58,390 --> 00:55:01,770
maybe vetted after that, but not done well

1592
00:55:01,770 --> 00:55:04,550
based on what the guidelines were put forward

1593
00:55:04,550 --> 00:55:05,470
by President Biden.

1594
00:55:05,910 --> 00:55:07,930
And now since he's been here, we believe

1595
00:55:07,930 --> 00:55:10,210
he could have been radicalized in his home

1596
00:55:10,210 --> 00:55:11,930
community and in his home state.

1597
00:55:12,150 --> 00:55:14,390
So as we continue to talk to his

1598
00:55:14,390 --> 00:55:17,250
family and his contacts, more details will be

1599
00:55:17,250 --> 00:55:19,410
revealed and we'll release those when it's appropriate.

1600
00:55:19,410 --> 00:55:22,790
OK, so the message is he was radicalized

1601
00:55:22,790 --> 00:55:24,610
in his home, Washington.

1602
00:55:25,330 --> 00:55:26,670
So Washington's on deck.

1603
00:55:27,010 --> 00:55:28,890
I'll give you the rundown on that.

1604
00:55:29,070 --> 00:55:31,070
OK, the thinking goes as follows.

1605
00:55:31,690 --> 00:55:33,730
And this is being rolled out.

1606
00:55:33,890 --> 00:55:35,490
You cut, it's a good clip because it

1607
00:55:35,490 --> 00:55:37,350
catches it in real time.

1608
00:55:37,690 --> 00:55:40,270
But the thought is, oh, yeah, well, we

1609
00:55:40,270 --> 00:55:42,310
got these guys, we vetted them and we

1610
00:55:42,310 --> 00:55:45,110
gave a bunch of money and they're going

1611
00:55:45,110 --> 00:55:47,650
to then cut them loose after two years,

1612
00:55:47,650 --> 00:55:49,550
expecting them to be on their own.

1613
00:55:49,610 --> 00:55:51,010
They're going to do fine, but they couldn't

1614
00:55:51,010 --> 00:55:51,470
make it.

1615
00:55:51,510 --> 00:55:53,070
They couldn't make it because it was too

1616
00:55:53,070 --> 00:55:53,450
tough.

1617
00:55:53,910 --> 00:55:56,510
And so they ended up getting caught up

1618
00:55:56,510 --> 00:55:59,530
with the bad actors here in within the

1619
00:55:59,530 --> 00:55:59,970
country.

1620
00:56:00,090 --> 00:56:02,470
And they and those guys and the bad

1621
00:56:02,470 --> 00:56:04,070
actors flipped them.

1622
00:56:05,370 --> 00:56:08,010
Is there a is there a huge Afghan

1623
00:56:08,010 --> 00:56:09,330
community in Washington?

1624
00:56:09,770 --> 00:56:11,190
In Bellingham, Washington?

1625
00:56:11,510 --> 00:56:13,790
Ah, you sound like I don't think so.

1626
00:56:14,010 --> 00:56:16,430
No, no, maybe there is.

1627
00:56:16,430 --> 00:56:17,670
I don't know that there is.

1628
00:56:17,850 --> 00:56:20,250
Let's find Washington state is a racist state

1629
00:56:21,210 --> 00:56:23,910
that is very few little on because it's

1630
00:56:23,910 --> 00:56:26,070
not like Minnesota where you have that enclave

1631
00:56:26,070 --> 00:56:28,690
of Somalians or Sudanese.

1632
00:56:31,250 --> 00:56:33,070
And no, not that I know of.

1633
00:56:33,150 --> 00:56:33,850
I mean, it's possible.

1634
00:56:34,130 --> 00:56:35,370
Call Mimi, ask her.

1635
00:56:35,430 --> 00:56:35,810
She'll know.

1636
00:56:36,390 --> 00:56:38,170
No, she she's here and she doesn't.

1637
00:56:38,330 --> 00:56:39,590
She's never heard of such a thing.

1638
00:56:39,670 --> 00:56:40,190
OK, all right.

1639
00:56:40,190 --> 00:56:42,970
We'll go on to the radicalization part with

1640
00:56:42,970 --> 00:56:43,290
Christie.

1641
00:56:43,450 --> 00:56:45,650
But you just said that he was radicalized

1642
00:56:45,650 --> 00:56:47,050
here in the United States.

1643
00:56:47,450 --> 00:56:50,290
So is our understanding that the issue, his

1644
00:56:50,290 --> 00:56:51,690
intent happened here?

1645
00:56:52,370 --> 00:56:53,790
And this was not something he came to

1646
00:56:53,790 --> 00:56:55,370
the United States with an intent to carry

1647
00:56:55,370 --> 00:56:56,310
out an attacks like this?

1648
00:56:58,570 --> 00:57:00,890
Well, we know that when Joe Biden left

1649
00:57:00,890 --> 00:57:02,430
the White House, he left us with a

1650
00:57:02,430 --> 00:57:03,890
1.5 million.

1651
00:57:04,250 --> 00:57:06,730
This is all anti-Democrat now at this

1652
00:57:06,730 --> 00:57:06,930
point.

1653
00:57:07,010 --> 00:57:08,490
At this point, it's like good luck.

1654
00:57:08,830 --> 00:57:10,730
Democrats, Democrats, Joe Biden.

1655
00:57:10,950 --> 00:57:14,290
He did a Democrats case backlog in asylum

1656
00:57:14,290 --> 00:57:14,850
claims.

1657
00:57:14,850 --> 00:57:18,810
And individuals are required under US law and

1658
00:57:18,810 --> 00:57:19,610
under policy.

1659
00:57:19,930 --> 00:57:20,390
US law?

1660
00:57:22,670 --> 00:57:23,710
She said under law.

1661
00:57:24,210 --> 00:57:25,710
No, she said US law.

1662
00:57:26,190 --> 00:57:27,670
I think she's reading a script.

1663
00:57:27,850 --> 00:57:28,930
Let's go US law.

1664
00:57:29,010 --> 00:57:29,810
And she said US.

1665
00:57:29,910 --> 00:57:30,630
Yeah, listen again.

1666
00:57:30,750 --> 00:57:34,850
It's backlog in asylum claims and individuals are

1667
00:57:34,850 --> 00:57:37,570
required under US law and under policy.

1668
00:57:38,070 --> 00:57:39,630
She said under US law.

1669
00:57:39,970 --> 00:57:41,470
She misreads the script.

1670
00:57:42,490 --> 00:57:45,190
So she says US instead of US law.

1671
00:57:45,190 --> 00:57:48,470
Because there's a big difference between saying US

1672
00:57:48,470 --> 00:57:48,750
law.

1673
00:57:48,890 --> 00:57:49,970
I would think so.

1674
00:57:50,390 --> 00:57:51,730
She's reading a script.

1675
00:57:52,230 --> 00:57:54,230
OK, yeah, you're absolutely correct.

1676
00:57:54,370 --> 00:57:55,590
You're right again.

1677
00:57:56,170 --> 00:57:56,490
Wow.

1678
00:57:57,190 --> 00:57:59,070
Please go back to the old John and

1679
00:57:59,070 --> 00:58:00,650
say I can't argue that with you.

1680
00:58:02,470 --> 00:58:03,850
This is a great.

1681
00:58:03,970 --> 00:58:04,990
That's a great catch.

1682
00:58:05,790 --> 00:58:08,050
She's scripted and they're trying to they're trying

1683
00:58:08,050 --> 00:58:10,030
to pin everything on by the logic.

1684
00:58:10,190 --> 00:58:12,670
There's a logical problem here, which they have

1685
00:58:12,670 --> 00:58:15,430
not addressed in any way, shape or form.

1686
00:58:15,910 --> 00:58:19,410
OK, he's in in Bellingham, Washington, of all

1687
00:58:19,410 --> 00:58:19,790
places.

1688
00:58:19,970 --> 00:58:23,330
He's flipped somehow because he was a CIA

1689
00:58:23,330 --> 00:58:26,390
trainee and he was part of some group

1690
00:58:26,390 --> 00:58:27,510
in Afghanistan.

1691
00:58:27,830 --> 00:58:30,930
But he's been flipped and for and instead

1692
00:58:30,930 --> 00:58:33,510
of taking care of business either locally or

1693
00:58:33,510 --> 00:58:37,150
someplace within earshot, he drives all the way

1694
00:58:37,150 --> 00:58:41,090
to Washington, D.C. to randomly shoot randomly

1695
00:58:41,090 --> 00:58:44,950
shoot to specific people outside of a, you

1696
00:58:44,950 --> 00:58:48,910
know, basically a subway station or subway stop.

1697
00:58:48,970 --> 00:58:51,110
You get out, you walk up the steps

1698
00:58:51,110 --> 00:58:52,230
and there's a couple of people there to

1699
00:58:52,230 --> 00:58:52,590
shoot him.

1700
00:58:54,370 --> 00:58:59,750
This is no, no, no, sorry.

1701
00:58:59,930 --> 00:59:01,890
Maybe you better fill in the blanks a

1702
00:59:01,890 --> 00:59:02,870
little better than that.

1703
00:59:03,030 --> 00:59:04,210
Maybe he got on the wrong plane.

1704
00:59:04,290 --> 00:59:06,030
He thought Washington was where he lives.

1705
00:59:06,190 --> 00:59:06,830
I don't know.

1706
00:59:06,990 --> 00:59:08,370
He's maybe he's one of those stupid people.

1707
00:59:08,970 --> 00:59:12,010
Let's listen to us law again.

1708
00:59:12,250 --> 00:59:14,770
Well, we know that when Joe Biden left

1709
00:59:14,770 --> 00:59:16,330
the White House, he left us with a

1710
00:59:16,330 --> 00:59:20,690
1.5 million case backlog in asylum claims.

1711
00:59:21,270 --> 00:59:24,910
And individuals are required under law and under

1712
00:59:24,910 --> 00:59:27,730
policy to check in every single year when

1713
00:59:27,730 --> 00:59:29,050
they have asylum in this country.

1714
00:59:29,130 --> 00:59:30,210
And that wasn't being done.

1715
00:59:30,750 --> 00:59:33,670
These individuals that were brought in were brought

1716
00:59:33,670 --> 00:59:36,330
in and then vetted on information that was

1717
00:59:36,330 --> 00:59:38,650
gathered by the Biden administration that wasn't thorough.

1718
00:59:39,210 --> 00:59:41,110
And so now we're completely changing that since

1719
00:59:41,110 --> 00:59:43,430
President Trump has been in the White House.

1720
00:59:43,430 --> 00:59:45,550
And since I've been at DHS, we're using

1721
00:59:45,550 --> 00:59:46,730
biometric information.

1722
00:59:46,970 --> 00:59:49,950
We're using those social media platforms and looking

1723
00:59:49,950 --> 00:59:52,070
at what they're saying and doing and making

1724
00:59:52,070 --> 00:59:54,650
sure that we have a government when a

1725
00:59:54,650 --> 00:59:56,150
country is sending us someone.

1726
00:59:56,330 --> 00:59:58,010
We have a government that is stable in

1727
00:59:58,010 --> 00:59:58,510
that country.

1728
00:59:58,550 --> 01:00:00,430
They can actually share information with us.

1729
01:00:00,470 --> 01:00:02,710
How do we vet someone that comes from

1730
01:00:02,710 --> 01:00:05,930
Afghanistan or Somalia or Yemen if they don't

1731
01:00:05,930 --> 01:00:08,490
have a government that we can communicate with

1732
01:00:08,490 --> 01:00:10,110
that will share information with us?

1733
01:00:10,450 --> 01:00:12,490
So that is one of the prerogatives and

1734
01:00:12,490 --> 01:00:15,390
one of the priorities that we're putting on

1735
01:00:15,390 --> 01:00:17,010
these countries if they want to continue to

1736
01:00:17,010 --> 01:00:18,710
send us people that want to claim asylum.

1737
01:00:18,930 --> 01:00:20,930
Okay, so I don't think this is a

1738
01:00:20,930 --> 01:00:21,910
DHS op.

1739
01:00:21,990 --> 01:00:25,470
I think DHS, Kristi Noem in particular, is

1740
01:00:25,470 --> 01:00:28,690
being given a script to put the Yemenis

1741
01:00:28,690 --> 01:00:30,750
and the Somalis on point.

1742
01:00:31,270 --> 01:00:33,550
Remember, Trump said he's a dope.

1743
01:00:33,890 --> 01:00:34,410
He's a dope.

1744
01:00:34,490 --> 01:00:35,370
We got Somalians.

1745
01:00:35,370 --> 01:00:37,630
This is a never-let-a-crisis-go

1746
01:00:37,630 --> 01:00:38,610
-to-waste moment here.

1747
01:00:39,030 --> 01:00:41,030
Like, okay, well, this sucks.

1748
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:43,750
However, now we can go after those Somalis

1749
01:00:43,750 --> 01:00:45,190
because they're a pain in the ass too.

1750
01:00:46,210 --> 01:00:47,590
That's what I'm smelling here.

1751
01:00:48,530 --> 01:00:49,150
And that's why...

1752
01:00:49,750 --> 01:00:52,350
I can't disagree with this.

1753
01:00:52,810 --> 01:00:53,810
I'll go back to my old ways.

1754
01:00:53,810 --> 01:00:54,330
Thank you.

1755
01:00:54,350 --> 01:00:55,370
I feel much more comfortable.

1756
01:00:55,590 --> 01:00:56,270
As you should.

1757
01:00:56,390 --> 01:01:01,310
And now we go to CBS, CIA Broadcasting

1758
01:01:01,310 --> 01:01:03,170
Systems, and I say that because they bring

1759
01:01:03,170 --> 01:01:03,270
on...

1760
01:01:03,270 --> 01:01:04,050
They used to be.

1761
01:01:04,050 --> 01:01:06,770
Well, they bring on Samantha Vinograd.

1762
01:01:08,010 --> 01:01:09,570
She's like a salad dressing.

1763
01:01:09,730 --> 01:01:10,150
Vinograd.

1764
01:01:11,170 --> 01:01:12,070
Vinograd, yes.

1765
01:01:12,250 --> 01:01:13,970
She was a Vinograd.

1766
01:01:14,350 --> 01:01:14,750
Vinograd.

1767
01:01:15,050 --> 01:01:16,790
I think they actually say Vinograd.

1768
01:01:17,690 --> 01:01:20,310
She was the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security

1769
01:01:20,310 --> 01:01:24,250
for Counterterrorism, Threat Prevention, and Law Enforcement Policy

1770
01:01:24,850 --> 01:01:26,090
for the Biden administration.

1771
01:01:27,010 --> 01:01:28,990
But listen to her career.

1772
01:01:29,990 --> 01:01:32,030
Vinograd joined the U.S. Department of the

1773
01:01:32,030 --> 01:01:35,910
Treasury working as a deputy attache to Iraq

1774
01:01:35,910 --> 01:01:38,150
as an international economist.

1775
01:01:39,010 --> 01:01:40,410
Oh, that was during George W.

1776
01:01:40,490 --> 01:01:40,730
Bush.

1777
01:01:41,830 --> 01:01:44,010
Then 2009, Obama.

1778
01:01:44,630 --> 01:01:46,070
She suddenly becomes...

1779
01:01:46,730 --> 01:01:49,370
She has tenure at the National Security Council,

1780
01:01:50,010 --> 01:01:51,370
worked for Donilon.

1781
01:01:52,450 --> 01:01:54,170
Then she ejects.

1782
01:01:54,210 --> 01:01:55,830
She goes to Goldman Sachs.

1783
01:01:56,050 --> 01:01:59,070
She works at Stripe, which is good because

1784
01:01:59,070 --> 01:02:00,470
if we ever need something, we can call

1785
01:02:00,470 --> 01:02:01,210
Vinograd.

1786
01:02:01,970 --> 01:02:05,770
Leading global public policy before joining CNN as

1787
01:02:05,770 --> 01:02:07,570
a national security analyst.

1788
01:02:09,450 --> 01:02:11,670
Then she was a senior advisor at the

1789
01:02:11,670 --> 01:02:15,710
Biden Institute at University of Delaware, worked as

1790
01:02:15,710 --> 01:02:17,470
an advisor for the U.S. Fund for

1791
01:02:17,470 --> 01:02:20,030
UNICEF, named the David E.

1792
01:02:20,070 --> 01:02:23,850
Rockefeller Fellow at the Trilateral Commission, a Millennium

1793
01:02:23,850 --> 01:02:26,930
Fellow at the Atlantic Council, and serves on

1794
01:02:26,930 --> 01:02:29,210
the board of the Women Foreign Policy Group

1795
01:02:29,210 --> 01:02:34,690
and co-founded Global Opportunity Advisors, a geopolitical

1796
01:02:34,690 --> 01:02:36,090
risk and policy girl.

1797
01:02:36,470 --> 01:02:38,270
Very, very, very busy lady.

1798
01:02:38,690 --> 01:02:40,590
Let's talk to Ms. Vinograd.

1799
01:02:40,830 --> 01:02:43,010
For more on the vetting of the suspect

1800
01:02:43,010 --> 01:02:45,050
before he entered the country, we are joined

1801
01:02:45,050 --> 01:02:47,610
now by Samantha Vinograd, who is a former

1802
01:02:47,610 --> 01:02:50,110
top counterterrorism official at the Department of Homeland

1803
01:02:50,110 --> 01:02:53,490
Security under President Biden and was deeply involved

1804
01:02:53,490 --> 01:02:56,030
in the process for screening and vetting.

1805
01:02:56,390 --> 01:02:58,890
She is now a national security contributor here

1806
01:02:58,890 --> 01:03:00,150
at CBS News.

1807
01:03:00,390 --> 01:03:02,170
Sam, so good to have you with us.

1808
01:03:02,310 --> 01:03:05,210
Just this morning, the attorney general said that

1809
01:03:05,210 --> 01:03:07,990
this suspect entered the U.S. with minimal

1810
01:03:07,990 --> 01:03:09,290
to little vetting.

1811
01:03:09,770 --> 01:03:10,410
Is that accurate?

1812
01:03:10,850 --> 01:03:12,190
Well, Nancy, I'm happy to talk about the

1813
01:03:12,190 --> 01:03:12,490
vetting.

1814
01:03:12,570 --> 01:03:14,610
But at this point, we don't have indications

1815
01:03:14,610 --> 01:03:17,150
that the horrific tragedy was a result of

1816
01:03:17,150 --> 01:03:17,910
a vetting failure.

1817
01:03:18,470 --> 01:03:20,610
Instead, the attorney general also said this morning,

1818
01:03:20,690 --> 01:03:23,570
it appears the individual was radicalized once here.

1819
01:03:24,010 --> 01:03:25,190
And let's be clear on what the vetting

1820
01:03:25,190 --> 01:03:26,810
system is and what it isn't.

1821
01:03:26,810 --> 01:03:29,990
The vetting system is a system in which

1822
01:03:29,990 --> 01:03:33,690
an individual's identifiers, their biographic information and biometric

1823
01:03:33,690 --> 01:03:36,730
information, iris scans- Their biographic information?

1824
01:03:37,030 --> 01:03:38,930
What, you gotta show them your wiki page?

1825
01:03:39,490 --> 01:03:41,150
I think she meant biometric.

1826
01:03:42,190 --> 01:03:43,090
I think so too.

1827
01:03:43,310 --> 01:03:43,830
Biographic.

1828
01:03:44,130 --> 01:03:45,250
And let's be clear on what the vetting

1829
01:03:45,250 --> 01:03:46,870
system is and what it isn't.

1830
01:03:47,250 --> 01:03:50,050
The vetting system is a system in which

1831
01:03:50,050 --> 01:03:53,750
an individual's identifiers, their biographic information and biometric

1832
01:03:53,750 --> 01:03:55,810
information, iris scans- Not necessarily.

1833
01:03:55,810 --> 01:03:57,470
No, she meant biographic.

1834
01:03:57,830 --> 01:03:59,250
Hey, she's a spook.

1835
01:03:59,370 --> 01:04:02,270
The vetting system is a system in which

1836
01:04:02,270 --> 01:04:05,990
an individual's identifiers, their biographic information and biometric

1837
01:04:05,990 --> 01:04:10,070
information, iris scans, fingerprints, facial images, are run

1838
01:04:10,070 --> 01:04:13,230
against data sets of information about individuals with

1839
01:04:13,230 --> 01:04:15,110
ties to terrorism and criminal history.

1840
01:04:15,710 --> 01:04:18,170
The vetting system is not predictive of whether

1841
01:04:18,170 --> 01:04:21,870
an individual with no derogatory information is or

1842
01:04:21,870 --> 01:04:23,870
is not at some point going to become

1843
01:04:23,870 --> 01:04:24,290
violent.

1844
01:04:24,290 --> 01:04:26,350
What I can tell you is this, and

1845
01:04:26,350 --> 01:04:27,650
I was involved in the process.

1846
01:04:28,170 --> 01:04:32,290
Every Afghan evacuee underwent vetting overseas before they

1847
01:04:32,290 --> 01:04:34,230
were clear to be manifested for a flight

1848
01:04:34,230 --> 01:04:35,170
to the United States.

1849
01:04:35,450 --> 01:04:38,450
They underwent vetting once they were manifested for

1850
01:04:38,450 --> 01:04:40,370
a flight at a port of entry before

1851
01:04:40,370 --> 01:04:41,630
entering the United States.

1852
01:04:42,130 --> 01:04:45,350
And then Afghan evacuees, including the suspect, were

1853
01:04:45,350 --> 01:04:47,910
vetted again once in the US by the

1854
01:04:47,910 --> 01:04:48,810
Biden administration.

1855
01:04:49,390 --> 01:04:52,430
And this suspect underwent the most comprehensive vetting

1856
01:04:52,430 --> 01:04:54,370
under the current administration when he applied for

1857
01:04:54,370 --> 01:04:54,770
asylum.

1858
01:04:55,010 --> 01:04:58,230
That process would typically involve an interview and

1859
01:04:58,230 --> 01:04:59,730
a review of social media handles.

1860
01:05:00,210 --> 01:05:01,650
Social media handles.

1861
01:05:02,270 --> 01:05:04,850
My goodness, we're like Britain now all of

1862
01:05:04,850 --> 01:05:05,190
a sudden.

1863
01:05:05,270 --> 01:05:06,530
She's going to finish it up here.

1864
01:05:06,630 --> 01:05:08,070
What can you tell us about these so

1865
01:05:08,070 --> 01:05:11,150
-called zero units that the suspect was a

1866
01:05:11,150 --> 01:05:12,830
part of in Afghanistan?

1867
01:05:13,390 --> 01:05:15,330
He worked with the CIA for years, right?

1868
01:05:15,530 --> 01:05:17,150
He did, which means that he was vetted

1869
01:05:17,150 --> 01:05:19,970
by the CIA prior to beginning work in

1870
01:05:19,970 --> 01:05:22,690
the zero unit, which was a paramilitary and

1871
01:05:22,690 --> 01:05:26,130
intelligence force that partnered with the CIA incredibly

1872
01:05:26,130 --> 01:05:28,910
closely on some very intense missions.

1873
01:05:29,070 --> 01:05:31,730
So this suspect reportedly underwent vetting by the

1874
01:05:31,730 --> 01:05:34,250
CIA for the first time over a decade

1875
01:05:34,250 --> 01:05:34,610
ago.

1876
01:05:34,730 --> 01:05:36,070
He had highly specialized training.

1877
01:05:36,310 --> 01:05:38,330
He did undergo vetting at the time that

1878
01:05:38,330 --> 01:05:40,510
he started working with the CIA and went

1879
01:05:40,510 --> 01:05:41,850
on some very complex missions.

1880
01:05:41,950 --> 01:05:44,210
These units were accused of certain human rights

1881
01:05:44,210 --> 01:05:44,710
abuses.

1882
01:05:44,930 --> 01:05:46,210
Yeah, they're mercenaries.

1883
01:05:46,290 --> 01:05:46,930
They're mercs.

1884
01:05:47,010 --> 01:05:48,630
She's talking out of her butt here.

1885
01:05:49,370 --> 01:05:51,130
Like, yeah, get a CIA.

1886
01:05:51,130 --> 01:05:53,670
The CIA guys are always available to talk,

1887
01:05:53,790 --> 01:05:55,970
but now you can't get one for some

1888
01:05:55,970 --> 01:05:56,310
reason.

1889
01:05:56,370 --> 01:05:56,890
They got one.

1890
01:05:56,970 --> 01:05:57,650
She is one.

1891
01:05:58,090 --> 01:05:59,210
Well, yeah.

1892
01:05:59,410 --> 01:05:59,750
Okay.

1893
01:06:00,110 --> 01:06:02,430
So she's doing her own messaging.

1894
01:06:03,050 --> 01:06:05,290
There is, going back to Kristi Noem with

1895
01:06:05,290 --> 01:06:08,510
Manhans Welker, there's a little problem with the

1896
01:06:08,510 --> 01:06:10,370
vetting in the asylum process.

1897
01:06:10,470 --> 01:06:11,930
Well, but just to be very clear, I

1898
01:06:11,930 --> 01:06:12,930
want to go back to what happened on

1899
01:06:12,930 --> 01:06:14,150
the Trump administration's watch.

1900
01:06:14,190 --> 01:06:18,110
He was extensively vetted in order to serve

1901
01:06:18,110 --> 01:06:20,290
alongside U.S. service members as a part

1902
01:06:20,290 --> 01:06:21,670
of the CIA-trained strike force.

1903
01:06:21,770 --> 01:06:23,410
But in terms of what happened on the

1904
01:06:23,410 --> 01:06:25,790
Trump administration's watch, just to be very clear,

1905
01:06:26,250 --> 01:06:29,990
what vetting did the Trump administration do before

1906
01:06:29,990 --> 01:06:31,850
giving the suspect asylum?

1907
01:06:32,830 --> 01:06:35,350
How do they know all this?

1908
01:06:36,070 --> 01:06:39,410
All we have is a photocopy of some

1909
01:06:39,410 --> 01:06:42,110
ID that looks muddy.

1910
01:06:42,910 --> 01:06:44,750
This is all, to me, this is all

1911
01:06:44,750 --> 01:06:47,410
a distraction to keep you from asking the

1912
01:06:47,410 --> 01:06:48,990
question I just asked a while ago.

1913
01:06:49,870 --> 01:06:52,050
Why did this guy come all the way

1914
01:06:52,050 --> 01:06:54,450
from Bellingham, Washington, supposedly driving?

1915
01:06:55,030 --> 01:06:56,730
Did they ever say, what's this car look

1916
01:06:56,730 --> 01:06:56,930
like?

1917
01:06:56,950 --> 01:06:58,110
They don't talk about any of that.

1918
01:06:58,270 --> 01:06:58,370
No.

1919
01:06:58,430 --> 01:06:59,690
What was found in the car?

1920
01:06:59,790 --> 01:07:00,330
We don't know.

1921
01:07:00,490 --> 01:07:00,690
No.

1922
01:07:00,770 --> 01:07:02,070
They don't talk about any of that because

1923
01:07:02,070 --> 01:07:03,230
he could have flown out for all we

1924
01:07:03,230 --> 01:07:04,910
know on a C-130.

1925
01:07:06,350 --> 01:07:09,370
And comes in and randomly shoots two guardsmen

1926
01:07:09,370 --> 01:07:12,370
out of the blue for no apparent reason

1927
01:07:12,370 --> 01:07:14,650
and just picks two out of the blue.

1928
01:07:14,830 --> 01:07:15,950
He could have shot people.

1929
01:07:16,050 --> 01:07:17,350
He could have gone to Portland, a little

1930
01:07:17,350 --> 01:07:18,250
shorter drive.

1931
01:07:18,250 --> 01:07:20,670
There's plenty of military there.

1932
01:07:21,030 --> 01:07:22,290
He could have gone anywhere.

1933
01:07:22,470 --> 01:07:24,130
He could have gone to the local Air

1934
01:07:24,130 --> 01:07:24,350
Force base.

1935
01:07:24,350 --> 01:07:25,630
And how come we don't have a picture

1936
01:07:25,630 --> 01:07:28,110
of his driver's license or of his social

1937
01:07:28,110 --> 01:07:28,990
media handles?

1938
01:07:29,170 --> 01:07:32,830
All I see is this muddy photocopy thing

1939
01:07:32,830 --> 01:07:33,450
that's saying it's him.

1940
01:07:33,530 --> 01:07:34,570
Yeah, you're right.

1941
01:07:34,650 --> 01:07:35,210
It's muddy.

1942
01:07:35,470 --> 01:07:37,410
Why is it such a crappy copy?

1943
01:07:38,510 --> 01:07:41,530
And that's what they're bringing it, this vetting,

1944
01:07:41,650 --> 01:07:44,690
vetting, vetting, vetting, vetting, and Trump's vetting.

1945
01:07:44,850 --> 01:07:46,710
It's like there's a missing piece of this

1946
01:07:46,710 --> 01:07:48,770
puzzle and it has something to do with

1947
01:07:48,770 --> 01:07:51,150
why he went all the way from Bellingham,

1948
01:07:51,390 --> 01:07:53,610
somehow got to Washington, D.C., and shot

1949
01:07:53,610 --> 01:07:54,170
two people.

1950
01:07:54,690 --> 01:07:56,330
And if it was, were they targets?

1951
01:07:57,450 --> 01:08:00,650
I mean, there's something missing here and it's

1952
01:08:00,650 --> 01:08:01,130
big.

1953
01:08:01,210 --> 01:08:03,250
The vetting process, Kristen, happens when the person

1954
01:08:03,250 --> 01:08:04,230
comes into the country.

1955
01:08:04,390 --> 01:08:07,130
And Joe Biden completely did not vet any

1956
01:08:07,130 --> 01:08:07,890
of these individuals.

1957
01:08:07,950 --> 01:08:09,290
He did not vet this individual.

1958
01:08:09,810 --> 01:08:11,950
Waited until he got into the United States.

1959
01:08:12,150 --> 01:08:14,990
And then that application for asylum was opened

1960
01:08:14,990 --> 01:08:16,609
under the Joe Biden administration.

1961
01:08:16,609 --> 01:08:18,649
When he was the president in the White

1962
01:08:18,649 --> 01:08:20,330
House and allowed that to go forward with

1963
01:08:20,330 --> 01:08:22,350
the information that they provided.

1964
01:08:22,870 --> 01:08:25,250
That's the Biden administration's responsibility.

1965
01:08:25,529 --> 01:08:28,210
This is the consequences of the dangerous situation

1966
01:08:28,210 --> 01:08:29,870
he put our country in when he allowed

1967
01:08:29,870 --> 01:08:32,529
those people to infiltrate our country during that

1968
01:08:32,529 --> 01:08:33,850
abandonment of Afghanistan.

1969
01:08:34,390 --> 01:08:36,229
And that's why I'm so grateful we have

1970
01:08:36,229 --> 01:08:38,390
a president now that isn't going to allow

1971
01:08:38,390 --> 01:08:40,490
it to happen, that he now has put

1972
01:08:40,490 --> 01:08:42,930
in place measures under his watch at the

1973
01:08:42,930 --> 01:08:44,930
Department of Homeland Security that we are bringing

1974
01:08:44,930 --> 01:08:48,490
in new information on vetting, new information to

1975
01:08:48,490 --> 01:08:50,430
use, such as what do they do on

1976
01:08:50,430 --> 01:08:51,109
Facebook?

1977
01:08:51,310 --> 01:08:53,689
What do they do on TikTok and other

1978
01:08:53,689 --> 01:08:54,850
social media platforms?

1979
01:08:55,330 --> 01:08:56,490
And who are they talking to?

1980
01:08:56,790 --> 01:08:58,290
Who are their conversations with?

1981
01:08:58,510 --> 01:09:01,370
And we use their biometric data information now

1982
01:09:01,370 --> 01:09:02,810
to track, to make sure they are who

1983
01:09:02,810 --> 01:09:03,590
they say they are.

1984
01:09:03,689 --> 01:09:04,990
And they're here for their right intentions.

1985
01:09:05,010 --> 01:09:06,510
You've got to get through the script.

1986
01:09:06,870 --> 01:09:08,109
So can I stop for a second?

1987
01:09:08,210 --> 01:09:08,710
Yeah, sure.

1988
01:09:10,109 --> 01:09:13,189
Does everybody who comes into the country from

1989
01:09:13,189 --> 01:09:16,890
Afghanistan, all of a sudden, they have to

1990
01:09:16,890 --> 01:09:19,330
be on TikTok and Facebook?

1991
01:09:19,770 --> 01:09:20,290
No, no.

1992
01:09:20,569 --> 01:09:22,510
This makes no sense to me.

1993
01:09:22,670 --> 01:09:24,069
It makes perfect sense to me.

1994
01:09:24,189 --> 01:09:26,689
This is the beginning of the digital ID

1995
01:09:26,689 --> 01:09:30,750
that Kristi Noem personally is pushing very hard.

1996
01:09:31,450 --> 01:09:32,510
With a real ID.

1997
01:09:32,850 --> 01:09:35,450
I have, in some clips that I'll get

1998
01:09:35,450 --> 01:09:38,290
to later, I think you're right.

1999
01:09:38,689 --> 01:09:40,590
Digital ID is part of this issue.

2000
01:09:41,370 --> 01:09:43,670
It's kind of a backstory.

2001
01:09:44,090 --> 01:09:45,130
It's a subtext.

2002
01:09:45,350 --> 01:09:46,130
Digital ID.

2003
01:09:46,590 --> 01:09:48,630
Also, digital currency is a subtext.

2004
01:09:48,810 --> 01:09:51,010
And I think there's another one that's coming

2005
01:09:51,010 --> 01:09:52,930
up, which I'll discuss when I get to

2006
01:09:52,930 --> 01:09:53,450
these clips.

2007
01:09:54,130 --> 01:09:56,690
So we'll end the Manhattan's Welker.

2008
01:09:56,830 --> 01:09:58,930
She brings on Senator Mark Kelly.

2009
01:09:59,150 --> 01:10:00,690
And he knows what this is all about,

2010
01:10:00,730 --> 01:10:01,050
of course.

2011
01:10:01,270 --> 01:10:02,970
Joining me now is Democratic Senator Mark Kelly

2012
01:10:02,970 --> 01:10:03,750
of Arizona.

2013
01:10:04,030 --> 01:10:05,770
Senator Kelly, welcome back to Meet the Press.

2014
01:10:05,970 --> 01:10:06,510
Good to be on.

2015
01:10:06,610 --> 01:10:06,890
Thank you.

2016
01:10:06,950 --> 01:10:09,370
It's wonderful to have you back after a

2017
01:10:09,370 --> 01:10:10,570
really significant week.

2018
01:10:10,690 --> 01:10:11,810
And I do want to start with the

2019
01:10:11,810 --> 01:10:13,330
National Guard shooting.

2020
01:10:13,510 --> 01:10:15,030
You, of course, served in uniform.

2021
01:10:15,250 --> 01:10:18,570
You know firsthand the impact, the devastation of

2022
01:10:18,570 --> 01:10:19,310
gun violence.

2023
01:10:19,850 --> 01:10:22,550
You just heard Secretary Noem defend President Trump's

2024
01:10:22,550 --> 01:10:25,730
decision to, quote, permanently pause migration from all

2025
01:10:25,730 --> 01:10:27,190
third world countries.

2026
01:10:27,390 --> 01:10:30,290
What is your response to how President Trump

2027
01:10:30,290 --> 01:10:31,150
is handling this?

2028
01:10:31,810 --> 01:10:33,850
Well, let me start by saying what happened

2029
01:10:33,850 --> 01:10:38,490
to the two guardsmen, Andrew Wolf, Sarah Beckstrom.

2030
01:10:39,250 --> 01:10:39,850
Horrific.

2031
01:10:40,190 --> 01:10:41,550
And it shouldn't happen.

2032
01:10:42,070 --> 01:10:44,070
And I'm praying for him and for her

2033
01:10:44,070 --> 01:10:44,470
family.

2034
01:10:44,830 --> 01:10:46,510
It was a horrible, horrible thing.

2035
01:10:46,610 --> 01:10:48,670
And there needs to be an investigation and

2036
01:10:48,670 --> 01:10:49,090
accountability.

2037
01:10:50,110 --> 01:10:53,970
But when I heard the Secretary say that

2038
01:10:53,970 --> 01:10:56,870
they're going to pause immigration from third world

2039
01:10:56,870 --> 01:11:00,110
countries, I mean, I take that as a

2040
01:11:00,110 --> 01:11:02,570
message that they don't want brown people coming

2041
01:11:02,570 --> 01:11:03,350
to the United States.

2042
01:11:03,470 --> 01:11:05,190
And I find that disturbing.

2043
01:11:06,150 --> 01:11:08,010
Donald Trump hates brown people.

2044
01:11:08,130 --> 01:11:09,490
That is the answer.

2045
01:11:09,490 --> 01:11:11,010
No, Senator Mark Kelly.

2046
01:11:11,850 --> 01:11:13,110
Now, this was used.

2047
01:11:13,390 --> 01:11:14,390
Not that guy.

2048
01:11:14,670 --> 01:11:19,510
This this horrible attack was used immediately to

2049
01:11:19,510 --> 01:11:23,630
strengthen the ongoing Islam op, which is taking

2050
01:11:23,630 --> 01:11:26,650
place, which seems to be emanating from Texas

2051
01:11:26,650 --> 01:11:28,130
currently, mainly.

2052
01:11:28,370 --> 01:11:30,090
Yes, this is a good point.

2053
01:11:30,390 --> 01:11:34,190
Yeah, and who in Texas would possibly why

2054
01:11:34,190 --> 01:11:35,310
would they have a concern?

2055
01:11:35,310 --> 01:11:36,890
Because they have this, of course, he's phony.

2056
01:11:37,010 --> 01:11:38,910
All of a sudden, there's all these mosques

2057
01:11:38,910 --> 01:11:40,150
that are cropping up and they're going to

2058
01:11:40,150 --> 01:11:40,950
build the meadow.

2059
01:11:41,210 --> 01:11:42,890
Yes, which is going to be an enclave

2060
01:11:42,890 --> 01:11:43,990
of Sharia law.

2061
01:11:44,390 --> 01:11:44,930
Yes, yes.

2062
01:11:44,990 --> 01:11:45,730
And all the rest of.

2063
01:11:45,830 --> 01:11:46,710
Yeah, we've heard this.

2064
01:11:46,810 --> 01:11:48,610
And I understand that you had a dinner

2065
01:11:48,610 --> 01:11:49,170
recently.

2066
01:11:49,710 --> 01:11:54,470
Well, here's everybody is hair on fire for

2067
01:11:54,470 --> 01:11:54,830
Islam.

2068
01:11:56,090 --> 01:11:59,750
Because it's doing the rounds and there's great

2069
01:11:59,750 --> 01:12:02,690
concern about Sharia law.

2070
01:12:03,090 --> 01:12:04,570
It's going to be Sharia law on the

2071
01:12:04,570 --> 01:12:08,470
schools, Sharia law on the streets, Sharia law

2072
01:12:08,470 --> 01:12:09,450
in your HOA.

2073
01:12:11,070 --> 01:12:12,630
Well, that's always been no way.

2074
01:12:12,770 --> 01:12:14,190
That's always been Sharia law.

2075
01:12:14,590 --> 01:12:15,630
There's nothing new.

2076
01:12:15,770 --> 01:12:17,090
There are Sharia law.

2077
01:12:17,230 --> 01:12:19,810
Yes, if you're in an HOA, you're in

2078
01:12:19,810 --> 01:12:20,390
Sharia law.

2079
01:12:20,530 --> 01:12:22,690
That why people put up with this is

2080
01:12:22,690 --> 01:12:23,270
beyond me.

2081
01:12:23,410 --> 01:12:25,030
But OK, but OK, go ahead.

2082
01:12:25,190 --> 01:12:29,410
So Kara, so all of this stems from

2083
01:12:29,410 --> 01:12:34,130
one major source, which has been seeding the

2084
01:12:34,130 --> 01:12:35,530
airwaves in Texas.

2085
01:12:35,530 --> 01:12:37,550
And that is General Michael Flynn.

2086
01:12:38,890 --> 01:12:41,730
And he was on Alex Jones.

2087
01:12:42,050 --> 01:12:44,050
I have two pertinent clips from that.

2088
01:12:44,430 --> 01:12:44,970
This will be good.

2089
01:12:45,050 --> 01:12:46,930
But we need to first listen to the

2090
01:12:46,930 --> 01:12:52,350
follow up after the the the the 20

2091
01:12:52,350 --> 01:12:55,370
minutes that Flynn did just earlier this week

2092
01:12:56,370 --> 01:12:59,450
on InfoWars with Alex Jones, one of his

2093
01:12:59,450 --> 01:13:01,310
famous in the car talks.

2094
01:13:01,850 --> 01:13:05,070
Two weeks ago, I syndicated broadcast General Flynn,

2095
01:13:05,070 --> 01:13:07,330
the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency,

2096
01:13:07,870 --> 01:13:11,230
predicted that in the coming months or even

2097
01:13:11,230 --> 01:13:15,850
weeks, the deep state CIA elements ally of

2098
01:13:15,850 --> 01:13:18,730
the Democratic Party with Communist China, Venezuela and

2099
01:13:18,730 --> 01:13:22,230
others will begin triggering sleeper cells inside the

2100
01:13:22,230 --> 01:13:23,790
United States, particularly Islamic.

2101
01:13:24,230 --> 01:13:26,050
I'll post the interview below.

2102
01:13:26,590 --> 01:13:29,430
It was on my broadcast yesterday and pointed

2103
01:13:29,430 --> 01:13:31,050
out that all the evidence is clear.

2104
01:13:31,490 --> 01:13:33,950
We've also had whistleblowers that have talked to

2105
01:13:33,950 --> 01:13:37,690
Jesse Waters Fox from inside the CIA that

2106
01:13:37,690 --> 01:13:42,250
this whole program with the seditious six and

2107
01:13:42,250 --> 01:13:43,590
the script they meant they were given.

2108
01:13:44,030 --> 01:13:45,790
Brennan's the handler, the former head of the

2109
01:13:45,790 --> 01:13:47,170
CIA for my analysis.

2110
01:13:47,570 --> 01:13:49,330
OK, so let's just stop right there.

2111
01:13:50,310 --> 01:13:51,830
And by the way, I'm very annoyed with

2112
01:13:51,830 --> 01:13:53,450
myself because I had this clip a couple

2113
01:13:53,450 --> 01:13:54,970
of weeks ago and I didn't put it

2114
01:13:54,970 --> 01:13:55,070
on.

2115
01:13:55,150 --> 01:13:56,310
No, this is not a couple of weeks

2116
01:13:56,310 --> 01:13:56,570
ago.

2117
01:13:56,650 --> 01:13:57,010
This is all.

2118
01:13:57,070 --> 01:13:57,910
No, it's recent.

2119
01:13:58,530 --> 01:14:00,230
No, this is whenever I saw this clip

2120
01:14:00,230 --> 01:14:01,010
because I saw it.

2121
01:14:01,430 --> 01:14:02,730
I said, oh, this is great for the

2122
01:14:02,730 --> 01:14:02,910
show.

2123
01:14:02,930 --> 01:14:04,390
And then I never get anything.

2124
01:14:04,390 --> 01:14:06,150
You made a mistake.

2125
01:14:06,450 --> 01:14:07,910
You texted the link to me.

2126
01:14:09,050 --> 01:14:10,410
Oh, did I send it to you?

2127
01:14:10,450 --> 01:14:10,750
Yes.

2128
01:14:10,890 --> 01:14:11,750
Huge mistake.

2129
01:14:12,250 --> 01:14:13,690
Because then I went that was a huge

2130
01:14:13,690 --> 01:14:14,030
blunder.

2131
01:14:14,130 --> 01:14:14,670
What am I thinking?

2132
01:14:14,850 --> 01:14:15,190
I don't know.

2133
01:14:15,490 --> 01:14:16,310
Then it was OK.

2134
01:14:16,370 --> 01:14:17,450
You're on a roll and you got it

2135
01:14:17,450 --> 01:14:17,790
nailed.

2136
01:14:17,970 --> 01:14:19,170
You were besides that.

2137
01:14:19,270 --> 01:14:20,410
You're the Texas Nexus.

2138
01:14:20,690 --> 01:14:21,630
Yes, it's right here.

2139
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:22,650
It's right down the street.

2140
01:14:23,770 --> 01:14:25,850
So now his analysis.

2141
01:14:26,850 --> 01:14:29,410
And I love Alex, but his analysis, according

2142
01:14:29,410 --> 01:14:32,370
to my analysis, he says Brennan is the

2143
01:14:32,370 --> 01:14:32,750
handler.

2144
01:14:32,750 --> 01:14:35,310
Brennan did the seditious sick script.

2145
01:14:35,810 --> 01:14:36,090
John C.

2146
01:14:36,170 --> 01:14:36,730
Dvorak, go.

2147
01:14:38,150 --> 01:14:39,250
It seems unlikely.

2148
01:14:41,270 --> 01:14:43,230
There's a couple of things going on when

2149
01:14:43,230 --> 01:14:44,890
there's this group that I mentioned in the

2150
01:14:44,890 --> 01:14:49,170
newsletter, New Politic, which seems to have everybody

2151
01:14:49,170 --> 01:14:52,670
in that group as poster childs.

2152
01:14:53,770 --> 01:14:55,210
But this has got Schumer.

2153
01:14:55,530 --> 01:14:56,970
I don't care what anybody thinks.

2154
01:14:57,110 --> 01:14:59,890
Schumer's written all over this thing, especially the

2155
01:14:59,890 --> 01:15:01,750
don't give up the ship, which is an

2156
01:15:01,750 --> 01:15:02,510
old phrase.

2157
01:15:02,750 --> 01:15:04,890
That only somebody that is old as Schumer

2158
01:15:04,890 --> 01:15:07,530
would even think of or think it's applicable.

2159
01:15:08,050 --> 01:15:09,190
It's got nothing to do with ships.

2160
01:15:09,910 --> 01:15:12,310
And this is Schumer in his, you know,

2161
01:15:12,370 --> 01:15:15,150
running the running his side of the of

2162
01:15:15,150 --> 01:15:17,930
the game to get the Democrats to win.

2163
01:15:18,170 --> 01:15:19,970
It's all about the midterms.

2164
01:15:20,030 --> 01:15:20,850
There's nothing about it.

2165
01:15:21,010 --> 01:15:23,070
Yeah, you can yell and scream and pull

2166
01:15:23,070 --> 01:15:24,650
your hair out over Sharia law and all

2167
01:15:24,650 --> 01:15:25,210
the rest of it.

2168
01:15:25,390 --> 01:15:27,150
But this is just to get the Democrats

2169
01:15:27,150 --> 01:15:29,130
in and Schumer's behind it.

2170
01:15:29,530 --> 01:15:30,450
Totally agree.

2171
01:15:31,210 --> 01:15:33,930
And I'm not blaming Alex for thinking this,

2172
01:15:34,090 --> 01:15:35,490
because the way he thinks is.

2173
01:15:36,530 --> 01:15:37,770
Brennan is a Muslim.

2174
01:15:38,510 --> 01:15:41,270
You and I know that Brennan loves Islam.

2175
01:15:41,990 --> 01:15:44,030
And so therefore, it has to be Brennan.

2176
01:15:44,070 --> 01:15:45,350
And he's setting it all up.

2177
01:15:45,970 --> 01:15:48,770
This whole operation they've been running of saying,

2178
01:15:49,170 --> 01:15:52,110
implying Trump's putting out illegal orders is ahead

2179
01:15:52,110 --> 01:15:54,970
of major events to destabilize the United States

2180
01:15:54,970 --> 01:15:56,270
with different paramilitary forces.

2181
01:15:56,450 --> 01:15:57,970
And then when Trump tries to call the

2182
01:15:57,970 --> 01:16:00,250
military, the corporate media would already pre-plan

2183
01:16:00,250 --> 01:16:01,570
the idea that his orders are illegal.

2184
01:16:01,930 --> 01:16:02,690
This is sedition.

2185
01:16:03,690 --> 01:16:06,010
This is the prep phase for a violent

2186
01:16:06,010 --> 01:16:06,390
coup.

2187
01:16:07,150 --> 01:16:09,870
And I've been predicting it along with General

2188
01:16:09,870 --> 01:16:10,510
Flynn as well.

2189
01:16:10,750 --> 01:16:11,290
Yeah, for years.

2190
01:16:11,410 --> 01:16:12,970
This is a very, very serious time right

2191
01:16:12,970 --> 01:16:13,210
now.

2192
01:16:13,850 --> 01:16:16,550
And now we know, as you see below,

2193
01:16:16,710 --> 01:16:18,790
it's been released by CIA Director Radcliffe.

2194
01:16:19,090 --> 01:16:22,210
Laura Logan has posted the information.

2195
01:16:22,670 --> 01:16:24,090
And she's got incredible intel connections.

2196
01:16:24,230 --> 01:16:25,030
I'll just leave it at that.

2197
01:16:25,190 --> 01:16:26,710
That this guy was part of a CIA

2198
01:16:26,710 --> 01:16:28,050
strike force.

2199
01:16:28,050 --> 01:16:30,850
And that's what his ID says in Afghanistan.

2200
01:16:31,990 --> 01:16:33,690
And of course, her husband's been deployed over

2201
01:16:33,690 --> 01:16:35,370
there for forever and was a leading commander.

2202
01:16:36,490 --> 01:16:38,210
And there's also a very good source of

2203
01:16:38,210 --> 01:16:40,070
information on that front.

2204
01:16:40,830 --> 01:16:42,790
So this is a major message to Trump.

2205
01:16:42,870 --> 01:16:43,570
This is a probe.

2206
01:16:43,650 --> 01:16:45,570
This was just literally hundreds of feet away

2207
01:16:45,570 --> 01:16:46,730
from the fence at the White House.

2208
01:16:47,390 --> 01:16:48,730
And there's gonna be more of this.

2209
01:16:48,830 --> 01:16:49,830
So people better get ready.

2210
01:16:50,250 --> 01:16:52,170
It's very, very, very, very, very serious.

2211
01:16:52,630 --> 01:16:53,890
So I love my neighbor.

2212
01:16:54,050 --> 01:16:54,810
I really do.

2213
01:16:54,950 --> 01:16:55,890
I love my neighbor.

2214
01:16:56,430 --> 01:16:58,670
And her husband, very, very important guy.

2215
01:16:58,810 --> 01:17:00,730
Her husband is the guy who tells everyone

2216
01:17:00,730 --> 01:17:03,310
the grid's gonna go down and JFK Jr.

2217
01:17:03,450 --> 01:17:03,970
is alive.

2218
01:17:04,610 --> 01:17:07,570
And don't forget that the government shutdown was

2219
01:17:07,570 --> 01:17:08,750
gonna last till Christmas.

2220
01:17:09,550 --> 01:17:12,070
90 days, 90 days, 90 days.

2221
01:17:12,170 --> 01:17:13,550
It was 90 days and then the next

2222
01:17:13,550 --> 01:17:14,170
day it ended.

2223
01:17:14,350 --> 01:17:14,990
Yes, so.

2224
01:17:16,190 --> 01:17:17,290
The next day.

2225
01:17:17,610 --> 01:17:20,250
So before I get to my neighbor, first

2226
01:17:20,250 --> 01:17:23,310
we'll go to General Flynn, who was setting

2227
01:17:23,310 --> 01:17:24,070
all of this up.

2228
01:17:24,630 --> 01:17:26,470
Flynn is the op, man.

2229
01:17:26,610 --> 01:17:27,370
He is the op.

2230
01:17:27,370 --> 01:17:28,070
No, Flynn is.

2231
01:17:28,250 --> 01:17:29,050
He is the op.

2232
01:17:29,070 --> 01:17:31,710
You know, I'm looking back on Flynn.

2233
01:17:32,670 --> 01:17:36,050
Flynn was submarine a bunch of things before

2234
01:17:36,050 --> 01:17:38,230
he even got to be head of DEI.

2235
01:17:38,530 --> 01:17:39,550
I'm sorry, DEI.

2236
01:17:39,850 --> 01:17:40,890
The defense, the DEI.

2237
01:17:41,330 --> 01:17:42,950
Sorry, the DEI, geez.

2238
01:17:43,230 --> 01:17:44,070
What's wrong with you?

2239
01:17:44,250 --> 01:17:44,670
I've been brainwashed.

2240
01:17:45,070 --> 01:17:49,350
So the defense intelligence, before he became the

2241
01:17:49,350 --> 01:17:51,350
head of it, he was already causing trouble.

2242
01:17:51,750 --> 01:17:55,430
And then when he got into the first

2243
01:17:55,430 --> 01:17:57,650
Trump administration, it was one, I had to

2244
01:17:57,650 --> 01:17:59,570
take this, give credit to, I think it

2245
01:17:59,570 --> 01:18:01,290
was Mad Dog Mattis or one of them,

2246
01:18:01,670 --> 01:18:03,630
or Kelly maybe before him.

2247
01:18:03,790 --> 01:18:05,970
I can't remember the, but they got rid

2248
01:18:05,970 --> 01:18:07,170
of him as fast as they could.

2249
01:18:07,430 --> 01:18:11,550
They, Trump wanted him as an intelligence guy

2250
01:18:11,550 --> 01:18:12,410
in the White House.

2251
01:18:13,010 --> 01:18:16,670
And they rousted that guy so fast that

2252
01:18:16,670 --> 01:18:18,230
it was like, it was phenomenal.

2253
01:18:19,310 --> 01:18:20,950
And I had mixed feelings about it to

2254
01:18:20,950 --> 01:18:23,910
this day because I thought he might've been

2255
01:18:23,910 --> 01:18:24,650
doing a good job.

2256
01:18:24,770 --> 01:18:28,050
But over time with you running into him

2257
01:18:28,050 --> 01:18:30,710
and then watching this go on, I'm glad

2258
01:18:30,710 --> 01:18:31,270
they did.

2259
01:18:31,850 --> 01:18:35,570
So here he is spouting off on AJ

2260
01:18:36,130 --> 01:18:37,590
about fifth generation warfare.

2261
01:18:37,790 --> 01:18:38,290
This is it.

2262
01:18:38,610 --> 01:18:39,410
So what do we need?

2263
01:18:39,990 --> 01:18:41,410
We need a couple of things.

2264
01:18:41,470 --> 01:18:43,070
Number one, we need the Oval Office to

2265
01:18:43,070 --> 01:18:43,550
throttle.

2266
01:18:43,790 --> 01:18:47,250
And I mean, throttle down on this idea

2267
01:18:47,250 --> 01:18:50,750
of information operations and understand that we are

2268
01:18:50,750 --> 01:18:53,410
in the middle of what is called unrestricted

2269
01:18:53,410 --> 01:18:53,950
warfare.

2270
01:18:54,550 --> 01:18:56,910
Unrestricted warfare is where there are, it is

2271
01:18:56,910 --> 01:18:58,490
boundless what you can do.

2272
01:18:58,570 --> 01:19:00,150
And it comes out of, you've talked a

2273
01:19:00,150 --> 01:19:01,130
lot about this, Alex.

2274
01:19:02,150 --> 01:19:04,710
It comes out of the Chinese manual back

2275
01:19:04,710 --> 01:19:07,490
in the late 90s, which I've read that

2276
01:19:07,490 --> 01:19:08,130
a bunch of times.

2277
01:19:08,190 --> 01:19:11,130
I've written a manual myself on fifth generation

2278
01:19:11,130 --> 01:19:11,650
warfare.

2279
01:19:11,890 --> 01:19:14,770
He literally wrote a manual.

2280
01:19:15,090 --> 01:19:16,750
I actually have a copy of it somewhere.

2281
01:19:17,390 --> 01:19:18,710
It's like psyops.

2282
01:19:18,970 --> 01:19:19,650
What are they?

2283
01:19:19,850 --> 01:19:21,150
That's his manual.

2284
01:19:21,370 --> 01:19:24,070
It is unrestricted warfare is without bounds.

2285
01:19:24,530 --> 01:19:25,850
That is what we are in the midst

2286
01:19:25,850 --> 01:19:26,470
of right now.

2287
01:19:26,510 --> 01:19:27,870
And everybody needs to understand that.

2288
01:19:28,130 --> 01:19:30,430
So- You're talking full spectrum war.

2289
01:19:30,630 --> 01:19:31,530
That's right, full spectrum.

2290
01:19:33,310 --> 01:19:34,590
I mean, everything.

2291
01:19:34,690 --> 01:19:39,190
You're talking about the idea of illegal exploitation

2292
01:19:39,190 --> 01:19:42,850
of different commodities, human beings, drugs.

2293
01:19:42,850 --> 01:19:49,090
We're talking about false, false action and false

2294
01:19:49,090 --> 01:19:52,370
flags when it comes to economic warfare, right?

2295
01:19:52,550 --> 01:19:54,370
You say you're going to do something and

2296
01:19:54,370 --> 01:19:55,510
you do just the opposite.

2297
01:19:55,750 --> 01:19:58,410
Now, this is interesting because he's not on

2298
01:19:58,410 --> 01:19:59,290
Trump's team.

2299
01:19:59,390 --> 01:20:01,270
I'm not sure who he's actually, what team

2300
01:20:01,270 --> 01:20:02,130
he's playing for.

2301
01:20:02,650 --> 01:20:04,890
But this next part proves that to me.

2302
01:20:05,050 --> 01:20:08,070
It's the whole idea about using the information

2303
01:20:08,070 --> 01:20:09,690
like TikTok.

2304
01:20:10,270 --> 01:20:12,510
Trump will sit there and I hope he's

2305
01:20:12,510 --> 01:20:13,070
listening to this.

2306
01:20:13,350 --> 01:20:14,910
Trump will sit there and go, Xi and

2307
01:20:14,910 --> 01:20:16,330
I just had a great call.

2308
01:20:16,610 --> 01:20:18,330
And we're going to do the following things.

2309
01:20:18,630 --> 01:20:21,130
Well, when Trump hung up, he has a

2310
01:20:21,130 --> 01:20:21,950
duty, which he does.

2311
01:20:22,030 --> 01:20:23,810
He tells the American people, Xi and I

2312
01:20:23,810 --> 01:20:24,730
just had a great call.

2313
01:20:24,790 --> 01:20:25,830
And we're going to do all these great

2314
01:20:25,830 --> 01:20:26,190
things.

2315
01:20:26,410 --> 01:20:27,750
And we're going to have trade deals.

2316
01:20:27,770 --> 01:20:29,810
And we're going to do TikTok and blah,

2317
01:20:29,830 --> 01:20:30,170
blah, blah.

2318
01:20:30,290 --> 01:20:32,570
And we're going to 600,000 students for

2319
01:20:32,570 --> 01:20:34,510
the next couple of years from China.

2320
01:20:35,730 --> 01:20:38,410
Xi hangs up and tells his team, great,

2321
01:20:38,510 --> 01:20:40,170
we got exactly what we want out of

2322
01:20:40,170 --> 01:20:40,270
them.

2323
01:20:40,270 --> 01:20:41,250
We're going to triple down.

2324
01:20:41,250 --> 01:20:42,430
We're going to quadruple down.

2325
01:20:42,550 --> 01:20:44,090
And we're going to continue to screw the

2326
01:20:44,090 --> 01:20:45,430
United States of America.

2327
01:20:45,810 --> 01:20:47,450
That's how they operate, Alex.

2328
01:20:47,610 --> 01:20:50,470
They don't operate like Donald J Trump operates

2329
01:20:50,470 --> 01:20:52,810
because he, as you said, he does have

2330
01:20:52,810 --> 01:20:54,590
a duty to preserve the Constitution of the

2331
01:20:54,590 --> 01:20:55,090
United States.

2332
01:20:55,170 --> 01:20:57,650
He has a duty to inform our country

2333
01:20:57,650 --> 01:20:59,150
and the people of our country because we're

2334
01:20:59,150 --> 01:21:00,570
a democracy, we're a republic.

2335
01:21:01,170 --> 01:21:03,250
And so he's trying to be as transparent

2336
01:21:03,250 --> 01:21:03,970
as he can be.

2337
01:21:04,230 --> 01:21:06,370
But trust me, we are not dealing with

2338
01:21:06,370 --> 01:21:07,270
an even hand here.

2339
01:21:07,270 --> 01:21:10,070
So I don't know who he's working for,

2340
01:21:10,730 --> 01:21:13,330
but that was not nice towards the president.

2341
01:21:13,490 --> 01:21:14,850
I mean, it may be true, but it's

2342
01:21:14,850 --> 01:21:15,050
not.

2343
01:21:15,210 --> 01:21:18,090
Yeah, it makes it sounds like he knows

2344
01:21:18,090 --> 01:21:19,690
what's going on in the president's night.

2345
01:21:19,710 --> 01:21:20,790
Yeah, exactly.

2346
01:21:21,070 --> 01:21:21,550
Exactly.

2347
01:21:21,690 --> 01:21:24,430
So now we go to the neighbor, Laura

2348
01:21:24,430 --> 01:21:28,470
Logan, her most recent episode she has on

2349
01:21:28,470 --> 01:21:29,410
Jim Simpson.

2350
01:21:30,630 --> 01:21:34,910
Jim Simpson wrote the book about, well, you'll

2351
01:21:34,910 --> 01:21:37,930
hear what it is, it's Jim Simpson.

2352
01:21:38,410 --> 01:21:39,370
It's Jim Simpson.

2353
01:21:39,630 --> 01:21:40,510
Don't you know Jim?

2354
01:21:41,830 --> 01:21:42,310
No.

2355
01:21:42,530 --> 01:21:43,410
No, of course not.

2356
01:21:43,510 --> 01:21:44,810
No one's ever heard of Jim Simpson.

2357
01:21:45,250 --> 01:21:47,230
But he wrote the book on the Marxist

2358
01:21:47,230 --> 01:21:48,610
Islamist axis.

2359
01:21:49,330 --> 01:21:51,970
So now this is a big, we talked

2360
01:21:51,970 --> 01:21:52,870
about it on the show.

2361
01:21:53,050 --> 01:21:55,910
I mentioned this is what the insiders all,

2362
01:21:56,070 --> 01:21:57,450
you know, this is the Marxist.

2363
01:21:57,530 --> 01:21:58,310
Yeah, yeah.

2364
01:21:58,410 --> 01:21:59,350
Old commies.

2365
01:21:59,650 --> 01:22:00,170
Yeah, yeah.

2366
01:22:00,270 --> 01:22:03,830
But it's old commies, new playbook.

2367
01:22:03,830 --> 01:22:05,810
It's all about the midterms.

2368
01:22:05,990 --> 01:22:07,130
Welcome back to the program.

2369
01:22:07,370 --> 01:22:10,070
Okay, our guest today is someone I have

2370
01:22:10,070 --> 01:22:12,390
known for a number of years now.

2371
01:22:12,510 --> 01:22:15,230
He caught my attention with his written work

2372
01:22:15,230 --> 01:22:18,890
as an author and some of your film

2373
01:22:18,890 --> 01:22:21,930
work, Jim, because you've been in a couple

2374
01:22:21,930 --> 01:22:24,350
of films along with the great Trevor Loudon.

2375
01:22:24,770 --> 01:22:27,450
You were one of the early voices, Jim

2376
01:22:27,450 --> 01:22:31,930
Simpson, in figuring out how mass migration was

2377
01:22:31,930 --> 01:22:35,070
being used as a tool of Marxists and

2378
01:22:35,070 --> 01:22:37,870
communists to invade the United States of America

2379
01:22:37,870 --> 01:22:40,170
and Western countries around the world.

2380
01:22:40,830 --> 01:22:43,990
And then, of course, how Islamic immigration has

2381
01:22:43,990 --> 01:22:46,510
been used as a cover by the Marxists,

2382
01:22:46,710 --> 01:22:49,690
which led right to one of your more

2383
01:22:49,690 --> 01:22:51,990
recent books over the last few years, the

2384
01:22:51,990 --> 01:22:54,750
red-green axis and how to understand it.

2385
01:22:54,830 --> 01:22:56,450
I have now added to that.

2386
01:22:56,490 --> 01:22:57,630
I'm sure I'm not the only one.

2387
01:22:57,830 --> 01:22:59,870
Other people do have added the red-green

2388
01:22:59,870 --> 01:23:03,530
-blue axis to that to include the globalists

2389
01:23:04,150 --> 01:23:06,230
and how we're being played and how these

2390
01:23:06,230 --> 01:23:07,790
forces around us really work.

2391
01:23:08,250 --> 01:23:09,690
So here's Jim now.

2392
01:23:09,750 --> 01:23:11,070
He's going to tell us what this is

2393
01:23:11,070 --> 01:23:11,430
about.

2394
01:23:12,070 --> 01:23:14,530
What I think he's saying is the Democrats

2395
01:23:14,530 --> 01:23:18,670
use Islamists to bring in their Marxist ideas.

2396
01:23:19,770 --> 01:23:25,050
Well, you know, it's very interesting because we've

2397
01:23:25,050 --> 01:23:27,010
been talking, we've been hearing a lot in

2398
01:23:27,010 --> 01:23:30,210
the news lately about the red-green alliance,

2399
01:23:30,250 --> 01:23:30,950
they call it.

2400
01:23:31,590 --> 01:23:35,070
And, you know, I was taken from the

2401
01:23:35,070 --> 01:23:37,110
red-green axis, the two books that I

2402
01:23:37,110 --> 01:23:37,770
wrote on it.

2403
01:23:38,150 --> 01:23:42,170
But it's really not so much an alliance

2404
01:23:42,790 --> 01:23:51,050
as it is the communists using the Islamic

2405
01:23:51,050 --> 01:23:56,190
radicals and the, frankly, the Muslim Brotherhood and

2406
01:23:56,190 --> 01:24:02,270
the entire Islamic movement, the entire radical Islamic

2407
01:24:02,270 --> 01:24:04,350
movement, including Islamic terrorism.

2408
01:24:04,830 --> 01:24:09,550
They've been using them as cutouts for continued

2409
01:24:09,550 --> 01:24:14,710
war against the West with plausible deniability.

2410
01:24:15,910 --> 01:24:18,090
And people don't get that part.

2411
01:24:18,510 --> 01:24:22,650
Now, it's absolutely true that, you know, the

2412
01:24:22,650 --> 01:24:28,110
Islamists that want to see Sharia law imposed

2413
01:24:28,110 --> 01:24:30,570
in the United States and elsewhere in the

2414
01:24:30,570 --> 01:24:33,910
West, many of them are very serious about

2415
01:24:33,910 --> 01:24:34,330
that.

2416
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:37,750
But a lot of the leaders, and I

2417
01:24:37,750 --> 01:24:43,030
include Zoran Mamdani in that category, are actually

2418
01:24:43,030 --> 01:24:48,650
communists and they're using Islamism as a cover.

2419
01:24:49,010 --> 01:24:49,870
There you go.

2420
01:24:49,990 --> 01:24:53,410
So the whole op here is be afraid

2421
01:24:53,410 --> 01:24:53,970
of what?

2422
01:24:54,610 --> 01:24:57,310
Well, I was going to mention something, which

2423
01:24:57,310 --> 01:25:00,570
is he uses red-green alliance to indicate

2424
01:25:00,570 --> 01:25:04,590
this Muslim communist thing, which he, I guess,

2425
01:25:04,670 --> 01:25:05,310
put in his book.

2426
01:25:05,570 --> 01:25:07,590
But he says it's widely used.

2427
01:25:07,710 --> 01:25:08,290
It's not.

2428
01:25:08,410 --> 01:25:08,650
No.

2429
01:25:08,890 --> 01:25:09,690
This is bull crap.

2430
01:25:10,150 --> 01:25:10,650
Red-green.

2431
01:25:10,790 --> 01:25:11,850
And in fact, I just looked it up

2432
01:25:11,850 --> 01:25:12,830
while you were playing that.

2433
01:25:12,950 --> 01:25:16,770
The term red-green alliance typically describes a

2434
01:25:16,770 --> 01:25:20,970
political alliance of coalition involving red parties, such

2435
01:25:20,970 --> 01:25:24,070
as Social Democrat and green environmentalists.

2436
01:25:25,770 --> 01:25:28,210
What's the environmentalists got to do with Sharia

2437
01:25:28,210 --> 01:25:28,570
law?

2438
01:25:28,710 --> 01:25:29,910
This is just rebranding.

2439
01:25:30,030 --> 01:25:31,650
He's just rebranding on the fly.

2440
01:25:32,110 --> 01:25:33,610
We need to bring another actor in.

2441
01:25:33,710 --> 01:25:34,810
This is co-opting.

2442
01:25:34,890 --> 01:25:36,270
He's trying to take the term and give

2443
01:25:36,270 --> 01:25:37,910
it to himself and then make it green

2444
01:25:37,910 --> 01:25:39,650
as somehow means Muslim.

2445
01:25:40,130 --> 01:25:41,370
I don't see that.

2446
01:25:41,630 --> 01:25:41,850
No.

2447
01:25:41,950 --> 01:25:42,650
It's not going to work.

2448
01:25:43,250 --> 01:25:46,450
Well, bring in another actor, Laura Loomer.

2449
01:25:47,250 --> 01:25:51,810
She posts the day before yesterday after the

2450
01:25:51,810 --> 01:25:53,470
attack, of course.

2451
01:25:53,630 --> 01:25:56,710
We had the attack in D.C. Urgent

2452
01:25:56,710 --> 01:26:00,590
intelligence alert with flashing lights emojis.

2453
01:26:02,670 --> 01:26:06,890
NCTC, National Counterterrorism Center, confirms Al-Qaeda presence

2454
01:26:06,890 --> 01:26:09,810
on U.S. soil, imminent multi-city Islamic

2455
01:26:09,810 --> 01:26:10,910
terror attacks.

2456
01:26:11,850 --> 01:26:14,850
So now we have Laura Loomer.

2457
01:26:15,350 --> 01:26:16,670
We have Laura Logan.

2458
01:26:16,990 --> 01:26:18,190
We have Alex Jones.

2459
01:26:18,330 --> 01:26:19,250
We have General Flynn.

2460
01:26:19,250 --> 01:26:20,970
It all kind of comes down to the

2461
01:26:20,970 --> 01:26:21,950
sleeper cells.

2462
01:26:22,770 --> 01:26:23,630
And she says this.

2463
01:26:23,890 --> 01:26:26,490
Sources tell me tonight that the National Counterterrorism

2464
01:26:26,490 --> 01:26:29,630
Center has officially determined that Islamic terrorists affiliated

2465
01:26:29,630 --> 01:26:31,850
with Al-Qaeda have infiltrated U.S. soil

2466
01:26:31,850 --> 01:26:34,090
and are actively planning a series of coordinated

2467
01:26:34,090 --> 01:26:35,790
Islamic terror attacks.

2468
01:26:36,230 --> 01:26:39,010
This marks the first time federal counterterrorism officials

2469
01:26:39,010 --> 01:26:41,830
have openly acknowledged the immediacy of such threats,

2470
01:26:42,190 --> 01:26:45,430
signaling a potential escalation of domestic jihadist activity

2471
01:26:45,430 --> 01:26:48,010
not seen since the height of ISIS-inspired

2472
01:26:48,010 --> 01:26:49,790
plots in the mid-2010s.

2473
01:26:50,330 --> 01:26:51,650
She goes on and on and on.

2474
01:26:52,070 --> 01:26:55,790
My sources tell me the attack strategy by

2475
01:26:55,790 --> 01:26:58,870
Al-Qaeda is designed to sow confusion and

2476
01:26:58,870 --> 01:27:00,230
cripple emergency response.

2477
01:27:00,630 --> 01:27:03,490
These terrorists have been purchasing large quantities of

2478
01:27:03,490 --> 01:27:06,650
police and first responder uniforms from surplus outlets

2479
01:27:06,650 --> 01:27:08,850
and online vendors in at least five states.

2480
01:27:09,270 --> 01:27:12,010
These acquisitions trace through bulk credit card anomalies

2481
01:27:12,010 --> 01:27:15,490
and CCTV footage suggests a plan to impersonate

2482
01:27:15,490 --> 01:27:18,430
law enforcement during the assaults, allowing attackers to

2483
01:27:18,430 --> 01:27:21,630
blend in, direct panic crowds, or even execute

2484
01:27:21,630 --> 01:27:24,450
secondary strikes on fleeing victims.

2485
01:27:25,290 --> 01:27:26,570
So blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

2486
01:27:27,130 --> 01:27:30,350
The plot's mass scale points to simultaneous strikes

2487
01:27:30,350 --> 01:27:33,770
across multiple cities, be afraid, echoing Al-Qaeda's

2488
01:27:33,770 --> 01:27:36,970
historical ambitions for mass casualty operations like 9

2489
01:27:36,970 --> 01:27:40,330
-11, but adapted for urban guerrilla tactics.

2490
01:27:40,910 --> 01:27:43,230
Targets could include soft sites such as crowded

2491
01:27:43,230 --> 01:27:46,790
events, transportation hubs, and public gatherings, we are

2492
01:27:46,790 --> 01:27:47,810
under attack.

2493
01:27:48,290 --> 01:27:53,110
Okay, so she links to a page on

2494
01:27:53,110 --> 01:27:58,930
the NCTC's website where they indeed say, Al

2495
01:27:58,930 --> 01:28:01,630
-Qaeda's recent calls to conduct attacks in the

2496
01:28:01,630 --> 01:28:04,050
U.S. highlights its enduring threat to public

2497
01:28:04,050 --> 01:28:04,490
safety.

2498
01:28:05,570 --> 01:28:07,510
So I'm like, oh, well, maybe she's not

2499
01:28:07,510 --> 01:28:08,090
full of crap.

2500
01:28:08,850 --> 01:28:11,370
Scope, this product is intended to inform federal,

2501
01:28:11,510 --> 01:28:14,730
state, local, tribal, and territorial government, law enforcement,

2502
01:28:14,870 --> 01:28:15,770
and first responders.

2503
01:28:15,930 --> 01:28:18,450
Al-Qaeda's recent calls for attacks against the

2504
01:28:18,450 --> 01:28:19,190
United States.

2505
01:28:20,410 --> 01:28:22,690
So here's where they got it from.

2506
01:28:23,430 --> 01:28:25,730
Al-Qaeda's resurgence of calls for attacks in

2507
01:28:25,730 --> 01:28:28,530
the homeland highlights its persistence and enduring threat

2508
01:28:28,530 --> 01:28:30,990
to the country, U.S. officials, and public

2509
01:28:30,990 --> 01:28:31,410
safety.

2510
01:28:32,310 --> 01:28:34,590
Al-Qaeda and its Yemen-based affiliate, Al

2511
01:28:34,590 --> 01:28:37,490
-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, been waiting for

2512
01:28:37,490 --> 01:28:39,890
those guys to come back, the only affiliate

2513
01:28:39,890 --> 01:28:42,170
to have successfully enabled attack in the homeland,

2514
01:28:42,570 --> 01:28:45,390
are likely seeking to leverage their media publications

2515
01:28:45,390 --> 01:28:48,970
and global conflicts, particularly where there is U

2516
01:28:48,970 --> 01:28:52,030
.S. support or military involvement to inspire potential

2517
01:28:52,030 --> 01:28:52,490
attackers.

2518
01:28:52,950 --> 01:28:53,990
And here's their proof.

2519
01:28:55,130 --> 01:28:59,730
In mid-July 2025, Al-Qaeda on the

2520
01:28:59,730 --> 01:29:02,810
Arabian Peninsula released the 10th edition of its

2521
01:29:02,810 --> 01:29:05,270
English-language Inspire magazine.

2522
01:29:08,380 --> 01:29:09,540
They brought this back.

2523
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:11,540
The CIA magazine.

2524
01:29:11,780 --> 01:29:14,680
They're literally bringing back Inspire magazine.

2525
01:29:15,220 --> 01:29:15,500
Yeah.

2526
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:16,900
Which is a magazine.

2527
01:29:16,900 --> 01:29:20,360
It's like Wired for Islamists, for jihadists.

2528
01:29:21,440 --> 01:29:23,580
We have been through this so many times.

2529
01:29:23,700 --> 01:29:25,200
It's the stupidest thing.

2530
01:29:26,180 --> 01:29:28,540
So this is an op on all sides.

2531
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,060
And then Alex Jones takes it to the

2532
01:29:32,060 --> 01:29:34,840
limit as he brings in something new we

2533
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:35,880
can all tweet about.

2534
01:29:47,780 --> 01:29:50,460
Uprising that will come after some catalyzing false

2535
01:29:50,460 --> 01:29:51,040
flag event.

2536
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:53,400
Now, General Flynn, the former head of Defense

2537
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:54,920
Intelligence Agency, has been warning of this.

2538
01:29:55,340 --> 01:29:56,260
I've been warning of this.

2539
01:29:56,940 --> 01:29:58,880
And there's really few others that have studied

2540
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:00,160
or understood it for whatever reason.

2541
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:02,640
And who go read the Podesta plan and

2542
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:04,520
seeing them execute every piece of it.

2543
01:30:05,420 --> 01:30:07,660
So the focus is on this statement telling

2544
01:30:07,660 --> 01:30:10,420
the military, don't follow orders, basically.

2545
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:13,560
You can argue that's free speech, but not

2546
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:15,360
who produced it, not who gave them the

2547
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:15,620
script.

2548
01:30:15,700 --> 01:30:16,740
And it's Brennan, we know.

2549
01:30:16,900 --> 01:30:18,380
And then they now admit they were given

2550
01:30:18,380 --> 01:30:18,680
the script.

2551
01:30:18,820 --> 01:30:19,320
We know.

2552
01:30:19,580 --> 01:30:22,960
And it's this continuum of crossfire hurricane and

2553
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:26,700
Arctic frost and all the fake impeachments meant

2554
01:30:26,700 --> 01:30:28,380
to undermine a duly elected government.

2555
01:30:28,580 --> 01:30:29,660
That is treason.

2556
01:30:30,060 --> 01:30:31,300
That is seditious conspiracy.

2557
01:30:31,660 --> 01:30:33,480
So he brings it back to a favorite,

2558
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:35,880
which is the Podesta plan.

2559
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:37,240
The Podesta plan.

2560
01:30:37,440 --> 01:30:38,320
This has all been planned.

2561
01:30:38,780 --> 01:30:39,740
This attack is imminent.

2562
01:30:40,580 --> 01:30:43,500
It's a color revolution inside the United States,

2563
01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:45,000
all organized by Brennan.

2564
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:45,740
We know it is.

2565
01:30:46,260 --> 01:30:46,700
It's a fact.

2566
01:30:48,140 --> 01:30:51,480
Here's Alex Jones explaining the Podesta plan on

2567
01:30:51,480 --> 01:30:52,320
Tucker Carlson.

2568
01:30:52,660 --> 01:30:53,880
What is the Podesta plan?

2569
01:30:54,480 --> 01:30:56,060
When I talk about this, I get chills

2570
01:30:56,060 --> 01:30:58,780
because of 2020.

2571
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:01,340
Breitbart wrote about it.

2572
01:31:02,260 --> 01:31:03,420
The Daily Caller wrote about it.

2573
01:31:03,540 --> 01:31:04,620
But the New York Times wrote about it

2574
01:31:04,620 --> 01:31:04,900
first.

2575
01:31:05,180 --> 01:31:06,720
He comes out of this huge report and

2576
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:07,560
they published the whole thing.

2577
01:31:08,260 --> 01:31:09,820
And I read like this, it was like

2578
01:31:09,820 --> 01:31:10,780
70 pages or something.

2579
01:31:11,440 --> 01:31:13,560
And they say, if Trump wins in 2020,

2580
01:31:13,780 --> 01:31:15,780
this is in August, months before, which they

2581
01:31:15,780 --> 01:31:17,780
were able to steal it, he said, we're

2582
01:31:17,780 --> 01:31:19,340
going to have Western states secede.

2583
01:31:19,740 --> 01:31:21,060
We're going to have blue cities secede.

2584
01:31:21,260 --> 01:31:23,400
But we'll start with the Western states, California,

2585
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:24,780
Oregon, and Washington.

2586
01:31:25,300 --> 01:31:27,240
And we'll call it over migrants and sanctuary

2587
01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:29,060
cities and healthcare at first, which they're now

2588
01:31:29,060 --> 01:31:29,300
doing.

2589
01:31:29,380 --> 01:31:30,980
I'm getting chills because it's all happening.

2590
01:31:31,480 --> 01:31:33,080
You go to a play and you're reading,

2591
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:34,200
oh, the next act is this.

2592
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:36,160
And Romeo and Juliet, I mean, it's all

2593
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:36,500
right there.

2594
01:31:36,740 --> 01:31:37,840
Oh, it's an act, all right.

2595
01:31:38,140 --> 01:31:41,240
And they say, if he wins, we will

2596
01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:42,220
say it's illegitimate.

2597
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:45,500
We will have blue states first secede that

2598
01:31:45,500 --> 01:31:46,900
they're going to be sanctuary cities for the

2599
01:31:46,900 --> 01:31:47,260
illegals.

2600
01:31:47,700 --> 01:31:50,720
Then when there's civil unrest, which they'll furnish,

2601
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:52,480
Trump will send the National Guard and then

2602
01:31:52,480 --> 01:31:54,900
there'll be a massacre of the migrants.

2603
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,220
And then we will kick off a civil

2604
01:31:58,220 --> 01:31:58,560
war.

2605
01:31:58,700 --> 01:32:00,440
Then all the blue cities across the country

2606
01:32:00,440 --> 01:32:01,020
will secede.

2607
01:32:01,420 --> 01:32:03,380
The New York, Massachusetts and others will secede

2608
01:32:03,380 --> 01:32:05,260
and we'll form what we call the Western

2609
01:32:05,260 --> 01:32:06,040
Alliance.

2610
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:09,000
And we will then, the US military will

2611
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:10,920
be with us as they control the generals,

2612
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:13,840
people that don't think otherwise, that was Trump's

2613
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:14,740
big mistake he found out.

2614
01:32:14,740 --> 01:32:16,360
Most of them are globalists at the top,

2615
01:32:16,420 --> 01:32:17,660
not European enlisted, they're great people.

2616
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:19,880
And that they would then form a military

2617
01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:21,580
alliance if Trump didn't stand down, they would

2618
01:32:21,580 --> 01:32:22,240
march on DC.

2619
01:32:22,780 --> 01:32:23,260
Yes.

2620
01:32:23,340 --> 01:32:27,100
So the Podesta plan as published by the

2621
01:32:27,100 --> 01:32:29,620
New York Times, I read it, it's from

2622
01:32:29,620 --> 01:32:30,300
2010.

2623
01:32:31,620 --> 01:32:34,760
The power of the president, recommendations to advance

2624
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:39,560
progressive change, outlines democratic president, which of course

2625
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:42,460
was Obama, could use executive authority to implement

2626
01:32:42,460 --> 01:32:47,160
progressive priorities like climate action, immigration reform and

2627
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:50,500
labor rights without relying on a hostile Congress.

2628
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:55,640
This thing, there's nothing in it about any

2629
01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:57,500
of the things Jones just said.

2630
01:32:57,980 --> 01:33:00,500
Unless he's read something that the New York

2631
01:33:00,500 --> 01:33:03,620
Times didn't publish, but I'm not familiar with

2632
01:33:03,620 --> 01:33:04,640
any of it.

2633
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:09,320
And it was really just liberal, raise the

2634
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:14,960
minimum wage, expand protections for undocumented immigrants, executive

2635
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:16,920
orders to reduce carbon emissions.

2636
01:33:17,500 --> 01:33:18,740
But oh no, no, no.

2637
01:33:19,020 --> 01:33:20,720
This thing is so real, they made a

2638
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:21,780
movie about it, remember?

2639
01:33:22,140 --> 01:33:23,820
And then they made a movie produced two

2640
01:33:23,820 --> 01:33:25,260
years ago, they released last year called Civil

2641
01:33:25,260 --> 01:33:27,140
War, that is the last act of the

2642
01:33:27,140 --> 01:33:27,720
Podesta plan.

2643
01:33:28,440 --> 01:33:31,240
That's in a two plus year civil war

2644
01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:31,820
race-based.

2645
01:33:32,140 --> 01:33:33,760
At the end, they go and the black

2646
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,300
female sergeant kills the Trumpian figure in the

2647
01:33:36,300 --> 01:33:36,740
White House.

2648
01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:39,260
And that's because evil white people are out

2649
01:33:39,260 --> 01:33:40,860
massacring brown people across the country.

2650
01:33:41,020 --> 01:33:44,440
So the US military reconvenes under Gavin Newsom's

2651
01:33:44,440 --> 01:33:45,920
command type.

2652
01:33:46,660 --> 01:33:48,820
And then they come in and then they

2653
01:33:48,820 --> 01:33:51,840
take over the country and then they reeducate

2654
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:53,560
all the evil right wingers and evil white

2655
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:53,840
people.

2656
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:55,340
I love my neighbor.

2657
01:33:55,580 --> 01:33:56,420
I love Alex.

2658
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:58,000
This is bull crap.

2659
01:33:58,440 --> 01:34:00,940
This is utter bull crap.

2660
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:03,900
So don't get spun up over this.

2661
01:34:04,340 --> 01:34:07,260
This is just about the midterms.

2662
01:34:07,260 --> 01:34:12,960
It's connecting some Islamic fear over 48 mosques

2663
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:15,940
in two years in Texas, which is a

2664
01:34:15,940 --> 01:34:18,100
total op from Abbott.

2665
01:34:19,060 --> 01:34:19,800
You know, anything.

2666
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:21,420
We'll do anything we can.

2667
01:34:22,060 --> 01:34:23,400
And these two guardsmen are dead?

2668
01:34:23,640 --> 01:34:25,180
Eh, we'll use that one too.

2669
01:34:25,260 --> 01:34:26,220
Oh yeah, they're everywhere.

2670
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:30,480
So I don't, you're right.

2671
01:34:30,940 --> 01:34:34,180
This really does cover up the real question.

2672
01:34:34,180 --> 01:34:37,160
Why did this guy go from Washington state

2673
01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:40,000
to Washington, D.C.? And of course, it's

2674
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:41,340
horrible what he did.

2675
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:43,160
Why was he naked?

2676
01:34:43,300 --> 01:34:44,000
I want to know that.

2677
01:34:44,740 --> 01:34:46,060
Yeah, I didn't even know that part.

2678
01:34:46,660 --> 01:34:49,200
But this is, this is all about linking

2679
01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:53,260
Democrats to Islamic jihadists.

2680
01:34:53,900 --> 01:34:55,380
That's really all this is.

2681
01:34:56,260 --> 01:34:57,500
And it's kind of pathetic.

2682
01:34:58,340 --> 01:34:59,700
I don't think so either.

2683
01:35:00,540 --> 01:35:02,340
It may work in Texas to get people

2684
01:35:02,340 --> 01:35:03,420
to make sure you get out.

2685
01:35:03,420 --> 01:35:04,900
It'll work in Texas, but Texas is not

2686
01:35:04,900 --> 01:35:06,340
the place where it needs to work.

2687
01:35:06,420 --> 01:35:06,680
No.

2688
01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:08,800
Because they're already a red state.

2689
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:10,500
Yes, I'm with you.

2690
01:35:11,460 --> 01:35:11,960
The whole thing.

2691
01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:13,680
So it's like you're running a op on

2692
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:14,440
yourself.

2693
01:35:16,140 --> 01:35:18,800
Well, that's a, there's a wise move.

2694
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:20,940
Well, I'd like to know who Flynn is

2695
01:35:20,940 --> 01:35:21,560
working for.

2696
01:35:21,780 --> 01:35:22,960
That's, that's the thing I don't.

2697
01:35:23,220 --> 01:35:24,960
You know, it also seems to be a

2698
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:26,680
bit about this American first.

2699
01:35:26,700 --> 01:35:27,660
He could be just, how about this?

2700
01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:28,620
He's just delusional.

2701
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:30,480
No, no, no, no, no.

2702
01:35:30,540 --> 01:35:31,440
You think he's actually.

2703
01:35:31,440 --> 01:35:34,300
I saw him when I met him, he's

2704
01:35:34,300 --> 01:35:35,880
looking for a bigger wallet.

2705
01:35:36,620 --> 01:35:38,780
He looks right through your head to see

2706
01:35:38,780 --> 01:35:40,540
if there's a big wallet on the other

2707
01:35:40,540 --> 01:35:41,160
side of you.

2708
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:43,720
That's, and that's just my perception.

2709
01:35:45,580 --> 01:35:47,420
You know, like, oh, what can this guy

2710
01:35:47,420 --> 01:35:47,660
for me?

2711
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:48,280
Podfather?

2712
01:35:49,780 --> 01:35:51,160
Nah, Podfather, nothing.

2713
01:35:51,980 --> 01:35:53,200
I want Daddy Warbucks.

2714
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:55,780
That's, that's what it felt like to me.

2715
01:35:56,380 --> 01:35:59,000
So there, this has to be part of

2716
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:00,780
this sub narrative of.

2717
01:36:01,440 --> 01:36:06,420
The national divorce, you know, the MAGA, civil

2718
01:36:06,420 --> 01:36:08,920
war, the breakup, America first.

2719
01:36:09,440 --> 01:36:11,880
There's ops running every, and they're probably running

2720
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:12,920
counter to each other.

2721
01:36:13,140 --> 01:36:15,160
But it sounds like he's on the America

2722
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:17,960
first team to say, well, you know, Trump's

2723
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:18,600
a good guy.

2724
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:19,340
Donald J.

2725
01:36:19,420 --> 01:36:21,120
Trump, but with Donald J.

2726
01:36:21,220 --> 01:36:23,420
Trump, but he doesn't, she's smarter than him.

2727
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:25,860
She is just laughing in his behind his

2728
01:36:25,860 --> 01:36:26,220
back.

2729
01:36:27,480 --> 01:36:30,180
So this is all about midterms and who

2730
01:36:30,180 --> 01:36:34,200
comes after the Democrats win the midterms and

2731
01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:35,320
they impeach Trump.

2732
01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:40,220
That's, that's what it seems like to me.

2733
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:42,240
And along with that.

2734
01:36:42,440 --> 01:36:43,800
Well, I mean, the impeaching is going to

2735
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:45,480
mean nothing because they, they're never going to

2736
01:36:45,480 --> 01:36:47,080
get their votes in the Senate under any

2737
01:36:47,080 --> 01:36:47,560
circumstance.

2738
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:48,860
So it's a complete waste of time.

2739
01:36:48,860 --> 01:36:49,880
Well, no, they'll impeach him in the house.

2740
01:36:49,880 --> 01:36:51,120
But it's designed to disable them.

2741
01:36:51,380 --> 01:36:53,160
They'll, yeah, they'll impeach him in the house.

2742
01:36:54,020 --> 01:36:55,020
Yeah, well, that's what you do.

2743
01:36:55,100 --> 01:36:55,280
Yeah.

2744
01:36:55,380 --> 01:36:59,160
But, but this just disables, it creates another

2745
01:36:59,160 --> 01:37:01,080
new cycle of bull crap.

2746
01:37:01,580 --> 01:37:03,120
And they can't get anything done.

2747
01:37:03,220 --> 01:37:04,520
So whatever's going to get done is going

2748
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:05,540
to get done before then.

2749
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:08,100
And there's nothing, the second two years of

2750
01:37:08,100 --> 01:37:10,880
his term is going to be pretty much

2751
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:11,860
a disaster.

2752
01:37:12,640 --> 01:37:14,640
If they, if the Democrats have their way

2753
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:16,320
and I see no evidence that they want,

2754
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:18,500
the Republicans are blowing it left and right.

2755
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:21,760
They're not, you know, accomplishing.

2756
01:37:21,860 --> 01:37:24,160
I mean, they've done a lot, but mostly

2757
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:28,400
internationally doesn't, international stuff never affects the populace.

2758
01:37:29,820 --> 01:37:30,860
Domestic voter.

2759
01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:33,480
The domestic voters are happy with it, but

2760
01:37:33,480 --> 01:37:36,100
as far as they're concerned, no, no, the

2761
01:37:36,100 --> 01:37:37,000
prices are going up.

2762
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:38,100
No, they're not really going up.

2763
01:37:38,140 --> 01:37:38,660
Well, they are.

2764
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:39,000
Yeah.

2765
01:37:39,460 --> 01:37:40,320
They haven't gone down.

2766
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:41,500
He says we're going to make them go

2767
01:37:41,500 --> 01:37:41,720
down.

2768
01:37:41,780 --> 01:37:42,420
They never go down.

2769
01:37:42,500 --> 01:37:44,660
They called it, that's called, you know, depression.

2770
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:47,180
Can't do that.

2771
01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:49,860
Well, this is like, this is set up

2772
01:37:49,860 --> 01:37:50,360
poorly.

2773
01:37:50,500 --> 01:37:53,180
They've done a lousy job of it.

2774
01:37:53,500 --> 01:37:55,700
Well, because you bring that up, we have

2775
01:37:55,700 --> 01:38:00,080
Kevin Hassett, the Cheshire cat.

2776
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:03,540
The guy who was so happy about 112

2777
01:38:03,540 --> 01:38:05,840
,000 jobs and said, oh, this is great.

2778
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:06,960
This is a doubling.

2779
01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:08,040
This is fantastic.

2780
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:12,080
He's the chair of the President's Economic Council.

2781
01:38:12,700 --> 01:38:15,680
So he was now basically tapped to be

2782
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:17,880
the next chairman of the Federal Reserve.

2783
01:38:18,820 --> 01:38:21,980
And CBS brought him on to question him

2784
01:38:21,980 --> 01:38:23,760
about inflation and prices.

2785
01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:26,520
I'm wondering how much of that spending increase

2786
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:28,860
you think is attributable to the fact that

2787
01:38:28,860 --> 01:38:29,960
prices are up?

2788
01:38:30,340 --> 01:38:31,260
Let me give you an example.

2789
01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:33,500
The maker of Tonka Trucks said a couple

2790
01:38:33,500 --> 01:38:35,380
days ago that a toy truck that cost

2791
01:38:35,380 --> 01:38:38,260
$30 last year is going to cost $40

2792
01:38:38,260 --> 01:38:41,180
this year, partly because they lost about eight

2793
01:38:41,180 --> 01:38:43,400
weeks of shipping due to the US trade

2794
01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:44,100
war with China.

2795
01:38:44,780 --> 01:38:47,620
What's your advice to holiday shoppers who don't

2796
01:38:47,620 --> 01:38:50,340
want to spend more this year than they

2797
01:38:50,340 --> 01:38:52,220
did last year or can't afford to spend

2798
01:38:52,220 --> 01:38:52,480
more?

2799
01:38:53,100 --> 01:38:55,400
Right, well, as you know, it depends on

2800
01:38:55,400 --> 01:38:57,100
what you're looking at, like egg prices are

2801
01:38:57,100 --> 01:38:59,760
down, gasoline prices drop below $2 a gallon

2802
01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:00,700
in a lot of places.

2803
01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:02,600
You mean below- Mortgage rates are down.

2804
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:05,240
Gas prices on average are still at $3

2805
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:06,080
a gallon.

2806
01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:06,560
Yeah, that's right.

2807
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:08,480
For a few states, they got below $2.

2808
01:39:08,780 --> 01:39:11,780
So the point is just that in the

2809
01:39:11,780 --> 01:39:14,040
end, what matters is in the aggregate, the

2810
01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:16,100
average across everything that everybody buys.

2811
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:18,900
And that averaged about 5% under Joe

2812
01:39:18,900 --> 01:39:20,720
Biden and is a little bit above 2

2813
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:23,320
.5%, about cut in half for President Trump.

2814
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:25,480
And the bottom line, though, is really that

2815
01:39:25,480 --> 01:39:27,440
wages have been growing faster than prices.

2816
01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:29,640
And that's why real incomes this year are

2817
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:32,060
up by about $1,200 so far.

2818
01:39:32,140 --> 01:39:34,000
That's why we can have a great Black

2819
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:37,420
Friday and a great Thanksgiving sales weekend because

2820
01:39:37,420 --> 01:39:39,240
people feel like they have more money in

2821
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:39,740
their pockets.

2822
01:39:39,740 --> 01:39:41,180
Even though you're right, there are some things

2823
01:39:41,180 --> 01:39:42,920
that cost more, some things that cost less,

2824
01:39:42,980 --> 01:39:45,520
but on average, we're about half the inflation

2825
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:46,380
rate of Joe Biden.

2826
01:39:46,940 --> 01:39:48,100
Now, just a question.

2827
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:49,080
Do you think that's true?

2828
01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:50,340
Do you know that to be true?

2829
01:39:51,020 --> 01:39:54,060
I think it's generally true, but people keep

2830
01:39:54,060 --> 01:39:56,980
ignoring the fact that inflation is cumulative.

2831
01:39:57,540 --> 01:39:58,520
Yes, it adds up.

2832
01:39:58,980 --> 01:40:00,440
So if you have something that costs $10

2833
01:40:00,440 --> 01:40:03,160
and then got jacked up to $20 and

2834
01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:05,960
then the inflation drops to 2%, it's still

2835
01:40:05,960 --> 01:40:07,740
going up in price and it doesn't go

2836
01:40:07,740 --> 01:40:08,680
down from 20.

2837
01:40:08,940 --> 01:40:09,700
It goes up.

2838
01:40:09,860 --> 01:40:10,880
It keeps going up.

2839
01:40:11,180 --> 01:40:12,760
It's always going up a little bit.

2840
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:13,260
Number go up to the moon.

2841
01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:14,100
Number go up.

2842
01:40:14,140 --> 01:40:15,440
So you end up with...

2843
01:40:15,900 --> 01:40:18,680
So, you know, the promises can't be fulfilled.

2844
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:20,260
You can't go back to the $10.

2845
01:40:20,660 --> 01:40:22,280
It just can't be done.

2846
01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:25,160
So Kevin Hassett probably will be the next

2847
01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:27,760
Federal Reserve chairman unless he screws something up

2848
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:29,240
in the meantime, because you know how Trump

2849
01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:29,500
is.

2850
01:40:29,540 --> 01:40:30,700
He'll change it on a dime.

2851
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:32,440
And the markets love him.

2852
01:40:32,540 --> 01:40:34,740
Bloomberg is reporting, as I'm sure you know,

2853
01:40:34,820 --> 01:40:36,420
that you are now considered the front runner

2854
01:40:36,420 --> 01:40:39,020
to replace Fed Reserve Chair Jay Powell when

2855
01:40:39,020 --> 01:40:41,060
his term expires in the spring.

2856
01:40:41,180 --> 01:40:43,820
Secretary Besant, who is heading up this search,

2857
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:46,980
said he was holding final interviews this week.

2858
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:48,340
How did yours go?

2859
01:40:49,140 --> 01:40:53,120
You know, I am not sure that Bloomberg

2860
01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:54,400
has the story right.

2861
01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:56,180
I'm really honored to be amongst a group

2862
01:40:56,180 --> 01:40:57,440
of really great candidates.

2863
01:40:57,660 --> 01:40:59,580
The thing that I was most impressed about

2864
01:40:59,580 --> 01:41:02,680
this week when that story leaked was that

2865
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:04,760
really, I think the news for markets was

2866
01:41:04,760 --> 01:41:07,480
that President Trump is close to announcing a

2867
01:41:07,480 --> 01:41:10,160
new person who's going to replace Jay Powell.

2868
01:41:10,540 --> 01:41:12,560
And if you look at the market response

2869
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:13,920
to that, it was very, very positive.

2870
01:41:14,060 --> 01:41:15,260
We had a great Treasury auction.

2871
01:41:15,480 --> 01:41:16,520
Interest rates went down.

2872
01:41:16,780 --> 01:41:18,240
And so I think that the American people

2873
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:20,740
could expect President Trump to pick somebody who's

2874
01:41:20,740 --> 01:41:23,360
going to help them have cheaper car loans

2875
01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:26,500
and easier access to mortgages at lower rates.

2876
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:29,080
And that's what we saw in the market

2877
01:41:29,080 --> 01:41:31,680
response to the rumor about me, which is

2878
01:41:31,680 --> 01:41:33,720
probably about as valuable as the rumor about

2879
01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:35,440
the health care policy that we just talked

2880
01:41:35,440 --> 01:41:35,680
about.

2881
01:41:36,020 --> 01:41:37,560
Well, I guess we'll find out if they're

2882
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:39,760
right sooner rather than later when we hear

2883
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:40,800
the president's decision.

2884
01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:43,200
So for now, Director of the White House

2885
01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:45,880
National Economic Council, that's your title today.

2886
01:41:46,300 --> 01:41:47,900
Kevin Hassett, thank you so much.

2887
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:50,860
So I believe, again, if he doesn't mess

2888
01:41:50,860 --> 01:41:53,320
something, he doesn't say something stupid, he'll be

2889
01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:54,320
the next Fed chairman.

2890
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:56,220
He's going to bring interest rates down.

2891
01:41:56,580 --> 01:41:58,720
Now, not that it's just him alone, but

2892
01:41:58,720 --> 01:41:59,400
he can spin.

2893
01:41:59,540 --> 01:42:00,880
He can do a lot of work on

2894
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:01,160
that.

2895
01:42:01,940 --> 01:42:03,980
And then add to that, I don't have

2896
01:42:03,980 --> 01:42:05,560
a clip because, of course, why would anyone

2897
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:06,300
report on it?

2898
01:42:06,660 --> 01:42:10,120
The Genesis Project, did you hear about this?

2899
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:12,720
Maybe.

2900
01:42:12,980 --> 01:42:16,600
It's the executive order the president signed and

2901
01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:21,080
in essence said, OK, Department of Energy, you

2902
01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:22,660
are now in charge of AI.

2903
01:42:23,420 --> 01:42:24,100
Make AI.

2904
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:25,280
Oh, no, I did not hear this.

2905
01:42:25,440 --> 01:42:25,900
Oh, yeah.

2906
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:28,300
It's like AI, everything AI.

2907
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:29,820
Excuse me.

2908
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:32,460
It makes sense.

2909
01:42:32,580 --> 01:42:35,620
You know, the DOE is responsible for Area

2910
01:42:35,620 --> 01:42:39,000
52, 54, 59, whatever the hell it is.

2911
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:39,680
51.

2912
01:42:40,380 --> 01:42:40,580
Yeah.

2913
01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:44,320
Well, a buddy of mine works there in

2914
01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:44,860
this area.

2915
01:42:44,860 --> 01:42:47,220
No, in the Department of Energy.

2916
01:42:47,420 --> 01:42:48,240
It's massive.

2917
01:42:48,780 --> 01:42:51,100
So Department of Energy, what do you need

2918
01:42:51,100 --> 01:42:51,700
for AI?

2919
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:53,560
Energy, lots of energy.

2920
01:42:53,960 --> 01:42:55,160
Oh, that makes sense.

2921
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:56,480
So this is your bailout.

2922
01:42:56,980 --> 01:42:59,840
If we can't afford it because you can't,

2923
01:43:00,180 --> 01:43:02,460
we cannot have the markets.

2924
01:43:02,780 --> 01:43:04,820
We can't have the AI bubble pop here.

2925
01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:05,960
Not yet.

2926
01:43:06,060 --> 01:43:06,980
We can't.

2927
01:43:07,060 --> 01:43:08,120
No, this will be.

2928
01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:08,540
It's going to pop.

2929
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:12,260
No, it's going to pop, but it can't

2930
01:43:12,260 --> 01:43:14,600
pop for at least until 2027.

2931
01:43:14,860 --> 01:43:16,380
We got to keep this thing going.

2932
01:43:16,820 --> 01:43:18,220
So the Department of Energy will.

2933
01:43:18,220 --> 01:43:19,500
I think it can hang in there for

2934
01:43:19,500 --> 01:43:20,040
that long.

2935
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:20,800
They have to.

2936
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:21,640
They have to.

2937
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:24,540
Because our GDP depends on it.

2938
01:43:25,100 --> 01:43:27,980
The Mag 7, this is all AI nonsense.

2939
01:43:29,100 --> 01:43:33,620
And so if investors lose their appetite and

2940
01:43:33,620 --> 01:43:37,280
it's all about data centers and energy companies,

2941
01:43:37,820 --> 01:43:39,660
Department of Energy, hello.

2942
01:43:40,460 --> 01:43:43,440
These guys will be throwing down small nuclear

2943
01:43:43,440 --> 01:43:45,660
reactors, faster than anybody can say it.

2944
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:48,420
Whatever we need, we're going to do it.

2945
01:43:48,480 --> 01:43:51,760
We cannot have any problems there.

2946
01:43:51,860 --> 01:43:52,700
And this guy comes in.

2947
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:53,920
Well, it should give us cheaper energy for

2948
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:55,000
the public at large.

2949
01:43:55,420 --> 01:43:55,840
It should.

2950
01:43:56,600 --> 01:43:57,320
It should.

2951
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:00,060
Operative word should.

2952
01:44:00,840 --> 01:44:02,960
And then let me get these clips out

2953
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:04,660
because there's one more little element, I think,

2954
01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:05,120
at play.

2955
01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:06,560
And this will be the best I can

2956
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:07,380
do for today.

2957
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:09,040
I can play them in the second half

2958
01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:09,920
of the show, but I don't think so.

2959
01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:11,160
This is the homeless stuff.

2960
01:44:11,880 --> 01:44:13,820
And I want to, it's four clips.

2961
01:44:13,820 --> 01:44:16,560
I want to see if you can figure

2962
01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:17,500
out the subtext.

2963
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:19,420
You probably will, because I did.

2964
01:44:20,460 --> 01:44:21,820
But you might or might not.

2965
01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:24,100
But I think it's part of the laundry

2966
01:44:24,100 --> 01:44:29,340
list of things like universal ID or digital

2967
01:44:29,340 --> 01:44:32,240
ID, digital money, and some other things.

2968
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:37,780
I believe to be PBS took it on,

2969
01:44:37,980 --> 01:44:42,140
but it underlies, I think, another one of

2970
01:44:42,140 --> 01:44:43,700
these subtext ops.

2971
01:44:43,820 --> 01:44:47,180
The skyrocketing cost of living has left millions

2972
01:44:47,180 --> 01:44:49,520
of people working at full-time jobs or

2973
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:52,620
a number of part-time jobs still unable

2974
01:44:52,620 --> 01:44:54,100
to afford a place to live.

2975
01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:56,780
Ali Rogin is back with her conversation with

2976
01:44:56,780 --> 01:45:00,020
journalist Brian Goldstone, author of There Is No

2977
01:45:00,020 --> 01:45:03,080
Place For Us about this growing nationwide crisis.

2978
01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:05,180
Thank you so much for joining us.

2979
01:45:05,260 --> 01:45:07,620
In your work, you've come to know many

2980
01:45:07,620 --> 01:45:10,200
people who work, who may have more than

2981
01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:13,580
one job, but have come into circumstances where

2982
01:45:13,580 --> 01:45:16,180
they cannot afford to keep a roof over

2983
01:45:16,180 --> 01:45:16,700
their heads.

2984
01:45:17,020 --> 01:45:21,140
Certainly, each person has a unique story, but

2985
01:45:21,140 --> 01:45:23,460
are there any common threads in their experiences

2986
01:45:23,460 --> 01:45:24,560
that you've been able to identify?

2987
01:45:25,100 --> 01:45:25,420
Trump.

2988
01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:28,480
Is not Trump?

2989
01:45:29,620 --> 01:45:30,160
No.

2990
01:45:31,180 --> 01:45:32,300
Trump, it's Trump.

2991
01:45:32,380 --> 01:45:33,620
This common thread is Trump.

2992
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:35,060
We'll find out in the next clip.

2993
01:45:35,260 --> 01:45:36,100
Yeah, absolutely.

2994
01:45:36,440 --> 01:45:38,760
You know, I do argue in my book

2995
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:42,200
that in cities across America today, in one

2996
01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:45,600
city after another, a low-wage job really

2997
01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:47,760
is homelessness waiting to happen.

2998
01:45:48,260 --> 01:45:50,960
And what they have in common is they

2999
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:52,880
all belong to the low-wage workforce.

3000
01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:55,200
And it's not just that their wages are

3001
01:45:55,200 --> 01:45:57,680
too low to keep up with the skyrocketing

3002
01:45:57,680 --> 01:45:59,700
cost of having a place to live.

3003
01:45:59,940 --> 01:46:02,620
It's also that the jobs themselves have become

3004
01:46:02,620 --> 01:46:06,320
increasingly volatile and precarious, where they often don't

3005
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:07,820
know how many hours they're going to be

3006
01:46:07,820 --> 01:46:09,320
getting from one week to the next.

3007
01:46:09,420 --> 01:46:12,360
Their employers give them 29 hours a week

3008
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:14,420
because at 30, they would be eligible for

3009
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:18,040
basic benefits like health insurance or sick leave.

3010
01:46:18,300 --> 01:46:21,880
And yeah, the cost of housing, rents are

3011
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:26,060
just very, very quickly outpacing what their incomes

3012
01:46:26,060 --> 01:46:26,480
are.

3013
01:46:26,860 --> 01:46:30,120
So that's kind of the backdrop that defines

3014
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:32,680
these people's existence.

3015
01:46:33,440 --> 01:46:36,160
For a long time, the stereotypical perception of

3016
01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:38,140
homelessness is that it is something that happens

3017
01:46:38,140 --> 01:46:40,580
to people on the fringes of society.

3018
01:46:40,580 --> 01:46:43,940
And that may have never been accurate, but

3019
01:46:43,940 --> 01:46:46,680
what have you found out in your reporting

3020
01:46:46,680 --> 01:46:49,920
about the reality of what it's like to

3021
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:50,960
be without a home?

3022
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:54,980
Yeah, I mean, one really astonishing truth about

3023
01:46:54,980 --> 01:46:57,400
homelessness in America is that what we see

3024
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,940
on the street is really the tip of

3025
01:46:59,940 --> 01:47:00,380
the iceberg.

3026
01:47:00,620 --> 01:47:03,580
There's this entire world of homelessness that is

3027
01:47:03,580 --> 01:47:06,100
out of sight, that has been rendered invisible.

3028
01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:09,860
And within that shadow realm of homelessness, as

3029
01:47:09,860 --> 01:47:13,520
I refer to it, it is overwhelmingly populated

3030
01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:16,180
with people, again, who are part of the

3031
01:47:16,180 --> 01:47:18,980
low-wage workforce, families with children.

3032
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:23,060
And these are people who are working and

3033
01:47:23,060 --> 01:47:24,620
working and working some more.

3034
01:47:24,740 --> 01:47:27,500
And it simply is not enough to secure

3035
01:47:27,500 --> 01:47:30,060
one of life's most basic necessities, a roof

3036
01:47:30,060 --> 01:47:30,520
overhead.

3037
01:47:30,740 --> 01:47:33,120
Universal basic income, is that where this is

3038
01:47:33,120 --> 01:47:33,420
going?

3039
01:47:35,420 --> 01:47:36,600
Did I nail it?

3040
01:47:37,940 --> 01:47:38,400
Oh, yeah.

3041
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:39,500
Here we go.

3042
01:47:40,160 --> 01:47:42,040
Let me just say a couple of things.

3043
01:47:42,240 --> 01:47:44,520
First of all, this is the hardest thing

3044
01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:45,920
to sell to the American public because it's

3045
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:48,100
a form of redistribution of wealth.

3046
01:47:48,460 --> 01:47:48,560
Yes.

3047
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:51,520
And so this began with Hands Across America

3048
01:47:51,520 --> 01:47:52,540
in 1986.

3049
01:47:52,940 --> 01:47:54,760
Oh my goodness, I remember that.

3050
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:58,480
And so we're at the 40-year mark.

3051
01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:03,060
And listening to this guy talk about homelessness

3052
01:48:03,060 --> 01:48:05,720
as just being all about low wages and

3053
01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:08,040
couldn't quite crank it over the hump kind

3054
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:11,940
of thing, which brings to mind universal basic

3055
01:48:11,940 --> 01:48:12,200
income.

3056
01:48:12,540 --> 01:48:14,820
I thought you might even catch it from

3057
01:48:14,820 --> 01:48:16,620
the first clip, but you caught it earlier.

3058
01:48:17,340 --> 01:48:18,800
I was hoping you wouldn't get it at

3059
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:19,040
all.

3060
01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:22,780
But it's wishful thinking.

3061
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:25,140
Wait, he has to bring in AI, that

3062
01:48:25,140 --> 01:48:26,940
AI is going to take everyone's job away.

3063
01:48:26,980 --> 01:48:28,940
No, they don't do any of that because

3064
01:48:28,940 --> 01:48:31,060
this is a sales pitch for universal basic

3065
01:48:31,060 --> 01:48:32,560
income, even though they never mentioned it.

3066
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:34,080
But I'm going to mention an anecdote.

3067
01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:39,380
Mimi drove down from Washington and she made

3068
01:48:39,380 --> 01:48:40,700
a point of telling the story.

3069
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:44,520
There's all these little places you can pull

3070
01:48:44,520 --> 01:48:48,380
over to rest spots.

3071
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:50,040
It's called a rest stop.

3072
01:48:50,420 --> 01:48:54,180
Next rest stop, 15 miles, this is your

3073
01:48:54,180 --> 01:48:54,460
shot.

3074
01:48:55,300 --> 01:48:56,080
Yeah, you go in there.

3075
01:48:56,220 --> 01:48:58,360
So she says there's all the way down

3076
01:48:58,360 --> 01:49:00,680
through Washington State, all the rest stops.

3077
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:03,360
She stops a lot, she's got a couple

3078
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:03,760
of dogs.

3079
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:09,760
And nobody, the places were dead empty, dead

3080
01:49:09,760 --> 01:49:10,020
empty.

3081
01:49:10,620 --> 01:49:12,320
And all the ones in California, dead empty.

3082
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:16,240
Oregon, every one of them from the top

3083
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:18,140
to the bottom were favelas.

3084
01:49:19,580 --> 01:49:25,360
Not small favelas, 300, 400 people, tents, camping,

3085
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:27,700
no place to park, no place to rest.

3086
01:49:27,780 --> 01:49:28,800
There was no way of doing it, a

3087
01:49:28,800 --> 01:49:29,180
rest stop.

3088
01:49:29,660 --> 01:49:32,620
Oregon has turned all their rest stops into

3089
01:49:32,620 --> 01:49:33,940
homeless encampments.

3090
01:49:36,160 --> 01:49:39,140
Well, first of all, sadly, this is the

3091
01:49:39,140 --> 01:49:42,000
state, the state of what's happening.

3092
01:49:42,680 --> 01:49:45,900
And people, I mean, you need $28 an

3093
01:49:45,900 --> 01:49:48,640
hour to even be considered to be allowed

3094
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:52,020
to get a rental unit, which is a

3095
01:49:52,020 --> 01:49:53,220
little bit on the high side.

3096
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:57,420
So I'm just recognizing how sad this really

3097
01:49:57,420 --> 01:49:57,880
is.

3098
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:01,340
But yeah, yeah, favelas, yeah, your favorite.

3099
01:50:01,340 --> 01:50:04,600
Yeah, but a true favela should be on

3100
01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:05,340
the side of a hill.

3101
01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:07,320
If it's any good, if it's any good.

3102
01:50:07,380 --> 01:50:10,520
The ones that I still see, the sign

3103
01:50:10,520 --> 01:50:12,760
says South San Francisco, it's on the side

3104
01:50:12,760 --> 01:50:14,840
of a hill, and it's empty, it's barren,

3105
01:50:14,900 --> 01:50:16,220
it would be a great favela.

3106
01:50:16,860 --> 01:50:20,100
It would add an impact to people driving

3107
01:50:20,100 --> 01:50:22,020
into San Francisco, because you couldn't miss it,

3108
01:50:22,060 --> 01:50:22,900
you'd see it.

3109
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:24,300
It'd be a- And so you're going

3110
01:50:24,300 --> 01:50:26,100
into San Francisco, you see the big favela.

3111
01:50:26,160 --> 01:50:26,960
Tourist attraction.

3112
01:50:28,060 --> 01:50:30,080
And it's a shanty town, basically.

3113
01:50:30,080 --> 01:50:32,960
And it would give you an indication of

3114
01:50:32,960 --> 01:50:33,680
what's going on.

3115
01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:35,440
You've been calling for this for years.

3116
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,400
You've been saying we need favelas for years.

3117
01:50:39,020 --> 01:50:39,620
Yeah, I have.

3118
01:50:39,940 --> 01:50:42,340
Because you can actually create a living with

3119
01:50:42,340 --> 01:50:45,060
neighborhoods, gangs.

3120
01:50:45,140 --> 01:50:47,500
They end up being run by criminals.

3121
01:50:47,740 --> 01:50:48,160
Criminals.

3122
01:50:48,480 --> 01:50:50,520
But they're still well run.

3123
01:50:51,820 --> 01:50:52,960
They're managed well.

3124
01:50:53,060 --> 01:50:54,960
Typically, or they'd be burning down.

3125
01:50:55,080 --> 01:50:56,620
They don't get burnt down.

3126
01:50:57,040 --> 01:50:58,880
I mean, Detroit got burned down in the

3127
01:50:58,880 --> 01:50:59,500
late 60s.

3128
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:01,520
How bad was that managed?

3129
01:51:01,740 --> 01:51:04,920
If the city's not managed well, it gets

3130
01:51:04,920 --> 01:51:06,320
burnt to the ground by the citizens.

3131
01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:08,380
And this doesn't happen in the favelas.

3132
01:51:08,660 --> 01:51:09,760
In a good favela.

3133
01:51:10,660 --> 01:51:11,860
In a good favela.

3134
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:15,240
You know, it's sick, but true.

3135
01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:16,260
Okay, let's go to three.

3136
01:51:16,500 --> 01:51:18,220
To be sure, in the richest nation on

3137
01:51:18,220 --> 01:51:21,020
the planet, nobody should be without housing.

3138
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:25,680
But these pernicious myths and stereotypes that homelessness

3139
01:51:25,680 --> 01:51:27,840
is just caused by addiction or it's just

3140
01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:30,340
caused by mental illness, it really is not

3141
01:51:30,340 --> 01:51:33,200
borne out by the reality on the ground.

3142
01:51:33,360 --> 01:51:36,140
And indeed, often mental illness and addiction is

3143
01:51:36,140 --> 01:51:40,100
a consequence of this form of insecurity, not

3144
01:51:40,100 --> 01:51:40,900
its cause.

3145
01:51:41,380 --> 01:51:43,280
Can you tell us a little bit about

3146
01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:47,780
what the lives of the homeless workers are

3147
01:51:47,780 --> 01:51:48,920
day in and day out?

3148
01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:52,620
And also, do those lives get harder during

3149
01:51:52,620 --> 01:51:53,060
the holidays?

3150
01:51:53,700 --> 01:51:55,280
I think it's really easy for...

3151
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:58,180
What kind of a question is that?

3152
01:51:58,820 --> 01:52:00,600
So, you're homeless.

3153
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:02,040
Is it worse during the holidays?

3154
01:52:02,900 --> 01:52:03,520
Yes!

3155
01:52:04,980 --> 01:52:07,220
Wow, that's just dumb.

3156
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:08,540
She's a stupid person.

3157
01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:11,300
Do those lives get harder during the holidays?

3158
01:52:11,900 --> 01:52:14,940
I think it's really easy for terms like

3159
01:52:14,940 --> 01:52:18,040
the housing crisis or the homelessness crisis to

3160
01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:20,800
become kind of abstract and to lose touch

3161
01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:24,040
with just the acute human toll of this

3162
01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:25,820
growing catastrophe in America.

3163
01:52:26,340 --> 01:52:29,060
You know, what homelessness looks like today isn't

3164
01:52:29,060 --> 01:52:32,400
just the person sleeping outside the parking lot

3165
01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:34,480
of a convenience store or a Walmart or

3166
01:52:34,480 --> 01:52:34,900
a Target.

3167
01:52:35,060 --> 01:52:38,440
It's often the very cashier or worker stocking

3168
01:52:38,440 --> 01:52:39,660
the shelves in those stores.

3169
01:52:40,200 --> 01:52:42,420
And they often have children at the end

3170
01:52:42,420 --> 01:52:43,060
of their shifts.

3171
01:52:43,560 --> 01:52:44,740
They don't know where they're going to be

3172
01:52:44,740 --> 01:52:45,020
going.

3173
01:52:45,100 --> 01:52:46,440
They have to tell their children, I don't

3174
01:52:46,440 --> 01:52:47,480
know where we're staying tonight.

3175
01:52:47,580 --> 01:52:49,820
Maybe they're sleeping in a car in that

3176
01:52:49,820 --> 01:52:50,840
very parking lot.

3177
01:52:51,700 --> 01:52:51,960
Okay.

3178
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:54,720
What is the closer here?

3179
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:55,600
What are they going to do?

3180
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:58,660
This is all just a softening blows.

3181
01:52:58,820 --> 01:53:03,240
There's no mention of universal basic income at

3182
01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:04,500
all in these clips.

3183
01:53:04,620 --> 01:53:06,960
But that's so apparent to me and you,

3184
01:53:07,120 --> 01:53:11,360
obviously, that this is messaging to create the

3185
01:53:11,360 --> 01:53:13,340
environment for it.

3186
01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:15,660
And I think because we're going to hit

3187
01:53:15,660 --> 01:53:18,300
the 40-year mark next year when this

3188
01:53:18,300 --> 01:53:21,240
became like a topic of conversation beginning in

3189
01:53:21,240 --> 01:53:21,920
1986.

3190
01:53:21,920 --> 01:53:23,420
Was Hands Across America?

3191
01:53:24,020 --> 01:53:27,300
What was the cause?

3192
01:53:28,380 --> 01:53:28,980
Homelessness.

3193
01:53:29,440 --> 01:53:30,000
It was homelessness?

3194
01:53:30,660 --> 01:53:32,260
It was specifically homelessness.

3195
01:53:32,440 --> 01:53:33,060
You can look it up.

3196
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:36,140
In fact, I think I met the guy,

3197
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:39,780
this Kagan character who started it at a

3198
01:53:39,780 --> 01:53:44,620
Berkeley dinner in 86 just before he did

3199
01:53:44,620 --> 01:53:44,880
it.

3200
01:53:45,380 --> 01:53:47,280
And I didn't realize he is also the

3201
01:53:47,280 --> 01:53:50,100
guy that produced We Are The World, I

3202
01:53:50,100 --> 01:53:50,360
think.

3203
01:53:50,600 --> 01:53:51,100
Oh, really?

3204
01:53:51,100 --> 01:53:52,460
Yeah, he was.

3205
01:53:52,820 --> 01:53:53,820
But that was for Africa.

3206
01:53:54,920 --> 01:53:57,380
Yeah, but then he turned his sights on

3207
01:53:57,380 --> 01:53:58,940
this Hands Across America bit.

3208
01:53:59,700 --> 01:54:02,080
And I remember him discussing it at the

3209
01:54:02,080 --> 01:54:05,220
table and I just thought it was daft.

3210
01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:08,120
And it wasn't going to work.

3211
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:08,560
Daft.

3212
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:09,760
It was crazy, nuts.

3213
01:54:10,060 --> 01:54:10,580
Daft.

3214
01:54:10,840 --> 01:54:11,680
I like daft.

3215
01:54:12,180 --> 01:54:12,560
Daft.

3216
01:54:13,240 --> 01:54:16,340
But it was marked the beginning of this

3217
01:54:16,340 --> 01:54:19,880
whole 40-year cycle of softening up the

3218
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:22,800
public for, look, maybe this will do it.

3219
01:54:23,060 --> 01:54:23,940
Maybe this will fix the problem.

3220
01:54:23,940 --> 01:54:24,560
Ken Kragen?

3221
01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:25,160
Yeah, you're right.

3222
01:54:25,260 --> 01:54:25,860
Ken Kragen.

3223
01:54:26,820 --> 01:54:28,300
Yeah, he did We Are The World.

3224
01:54:28,620 --> 01:54:28,720
Huh.

3225
01:54:30,500 --> 01:54:32,460
Yeah, he did Hands Across America.

3226
01:54:32,500 --> 01:54:34,060
Yeah, for hunger and homelessness.

3227
01:54:35,500 --> 01:54:36,460
Yeah, all right.

3228
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:37,760
All right, number four.

3229
01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:39,640
You know, there's a term that public health

3230
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:42,860
experts use to refer to the kind of

3231
01:54:42,860 --> 01:54:45,900
stress that children and parents are exposed to

3232
01:54:45,900 --> 01:54:46,780
in these circumstances.

3233
01:54:46,780 --> 01:54:49,020
And that term is toxic stress.

3234
01:54:49,180 --> 01:54:51,720
This is stress that is so chronic, so

3235
01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:55,980
debilitating that it can fundamentally alter a child's

3236
01:54:55,980 --> 01:54:56,940
long-term development.

3237
01:54:57,140 --> 01:55:00,020
That is the human toll of this insecurity.

3238
01:55:00,460 --> 01:55:02,800
And it is the consequence.

3239
01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:05,520
It's the toll of what has happened when

3240
01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:09,040
millions, not hundreds of thousands, but millions of

3241
01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:11,080
families in this country have been flung into

3242
01:55:11,080 --> 01:55:13,480
what a case manager in my book refers

3243
01:55:13,480 --> 01:55:15,520
to as the housing hunger games.

3244
01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:19,260
You've cited a number of deficiencies across all

3245
01:55:19,260 --> 01:55:22,780
sorts of categories that are failing people.

3246
01:55:22,920 --> 01:55:24,800
But what institutions here need to change?

3247
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:28,520
Is this a failure of government, of industry,

3248
01:55:28,940 --> 01:55:29,840
all of the above?

3249
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:30,540
How do you see it?

3250
01:55:30,900 --> 01:55:32,360
Yeah, I think it is all of the

3251
01:55:32,360 --> 01:55:32,860
above.

3252
01:55:33,540 --> 01:55:35,760
What I found in my reporting in the

3253
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:38,100
course of kind of immersing myself in the

3254
01:55:38,100 --> 01:55:40,120
day-to-day lives of five families here

3255
01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:41,720
in Atlanta where I live over a period

3256
01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:44,400
of nearly six years, it's not just the

3257
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:49,420
housing system which prioritizes profits above all else.

3258
01:55:49,660 --> 01:55:52,100
It's not just work and jobs and wages

3259
01:55:52,100 --> 01:55:54,440
that aren't keeping up with the cost of

3260
01:55:54,440 --> 01:55:54,640
living.

3261
01:55:54,760 --> 01:55:57,900
It's also other systems like healthcare, a lack

3262
01:55:57,900 --> 01:56:02,720
of affordable childcare, the education system, food insecurity.

3263
01:56:03,080 --> 01:56:05,700
All of these systems sort of collide to

3264
01:56:05,700 --> 01:56:09,320
make this human disaster not just possible but

3265
01:56:09,320 --> 01:56:11,460
in many ways predictable and inevitable.

3266
01:56:12,860 --> 01:56:16,800
In the capitalist system, because obviously the people

3267
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:20,740
who were homeless and hungry in the 80s

3268
01:56:20,740 --> 01:56:24,680
with hands across America, that eventually swings around,

3269
01:56:24,820 --> 01:56:27,460
gets solved, like is happening right now in

3270
01:56:27,460 --> 01:56:32,120
Austin, Texas, where homes that were purchased in

3271
01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:36,980
2022 are now 20% cheaper than they

3272
01:56:36,980 --> 01:56:39,740
were then because everyone's leaving.

3273
01:56:40,540 --> 01:56:41,820
It's not what they wanted.

3274
01:56:41,820 --> 01:56:44,260
All the tech firms are firing people.

3275
01:56:44,320 --> 01:56:46,320
These people would just transient anyway.

3276
01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:51,100
And of course, there's less illegal immigrants.

3277
01:56:51,340 --> 01:56:54,160
So these will go up for rent and

3278
01:56:54,160 --> 01:56:55,700
that will be more affordable.

3279
01:56:55,860 --> 01:56:57,580
Is that not kind of how the system

3280
01:56:57,580 --> 01:56:58,500
works eventually?

3281
01:57:01,460 --> 01:57:04,620
To a point, except for the one missing

3282
01:57:04,620 --> 01:57:09,880
factor here, which is the national takeover of

3283
01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:12,760
as many houses as possible by Blackstone and

3284
01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:13,340
BlackRock.

3285
01:57:13,340 --> 01:57:14,260
Yes, yeah.

3286
01:57:14,500 --> 01:57:16,600
Those guys are buying up houses left and

3287
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:19,320
right and they pay top dollar and they

3288
01:57:19,320 --> 01:57:20,060
get these places.

3289
01:57:20,300 --> 01:57:22,860
And I think the idea is they know

3290
01:57:22,860 --> 01:57:24,920
universal basic income is coming.

3291
01:57:25,300 --> 01:57:27,000
They know people will be renting.

3292
01:57:27,400 --> 01:57:30,680
They can have the houses under their umbrella

3293
01:57:30,680 --> 01:57:33,840
and they will be renting out at not

3294
01:57:33,840 --> 01:57:38,580
necessarily top dollar but good profitable monies.

3295
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:39,280
Best price.

3296
01:57:39,500 --> 01:57:41,540
And this is all part of a grand

3297
01:57:41,540 --> 01:57:41,940
scheme.

3298
01:57:41,940 --> 01:57:44,460
And I think BlackRock and Blackstone are very

3299
01:57:44,460 --> 01:57:46,840
much behind a universal basic income.

3300
01:57:46,980 --> 01:57:50,220
It's no, as you'd say, it's no sweat

3301
01:57:50,220 --> 01:57:51,120
off their balls.

3302
01:57:51,460 --> 01:57:53,800
Well, that kind of goes along with the

3303
01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:56,720
news that Coinbase is doing a pilot in

3304
01:57:56,720 --> 01:58:00,560
New York called Future First, a basic income

3305
01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:04,780
test with low income New Yorkers aged 18

3306
01:58:04,780 --> 01:58:05,260
to 30.

3307
01:58:05,340 --> 01:58:06,960
They will be giving them a total of

3308
01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:10,320
$12,000 in stablecoin.

3309
01:58:11,940 --> 01:58:12,480
Yeah.

3310
01:58:13,640 --> 01:58:16,560
Which they then can use to pay directly

3311
01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:17,420
with stablecoin.

3312
01:58:17,820 --> 01:58:20,360
Even the No Agenda Show takes USDC if

3313
01:58:20,360 --> 01:58:21,280
you want to support us.

3314
01:58:23,220 --> 01:58:25,400
And you can, of course, convert it into

3315
01:58:25,400 --> 01:58:28,000
other cryptos and into currencies.

3316
01:58:28,860 --> 01:58:30,680
So these tests are underway again.

3317
01:58:30,740 --> 01:58:33,680
But interesting now that it's Coinbase doing this,

3318
01:58:34,060 --> 01:58:35,980
who is going to be a big player

3319
01:58:35,980 --> 01:58:37,460
in the stablecoin gambit.

3320
01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:39,360
So I think you're right.

3321
01:58:39,420 --> 01:58:41,080
I think this is a setup.

3322
01:58:42,420 --> 01:58:45,040
It still has something to do with stablecoin.

3323
01:58:45,420 --> 01:58:47,780
Now that we have the Genius Act passed,

3324
01:58:47,900 --> 01:58:50,560
it's all going to start uncloaking in the

3325
01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:51,180
coming year.

3326
01:58:52,200 --> 01:58:58,340
And then regarding digital ID, man, Australia, they

3327
01:58:58,340 --> 01:58:59,560
just shut down everything.

3328
01:58:59,760 --> 01:59:02,840
Social media, including YouTube, you got to be

3329
01:59:02,840 --> 01:59:03,660
13 or older.

3330
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:05,040
I think it's 16, actually.

3331
01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:08,020
16 or older, no social media for you.

3332
01:59:08,500 --> 01:59:09,700
Accounts are being closed.

3333
01:59:09,700 --> 01:59:13,080
The EU, they're not messing around.

3334
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:16,160
When you listen to this lady talking about

3335
01:59:18,040 --> 01:59:20,780
the EU just voted in a, well, they

3336
01:59:20,780 --> 01:59:23,740
voted in favor of a non-legislative report.

3337
01:59:24,240 --> 01:59:27,260
So it's not legislation, but it will be.

3338
01:59:27,420 --> 01:59:29,940
This is the setup for minimum age for

3339
01:59:29,940 --> 01:59:30,780
social media.

3340
01:59:30,980 --> 01:59:33,380
And it's all tied to a digital ID.

3341
01:59:33,640 --> 01:59:35,420
Just listen to how she explains it.

3342
01:59:35,600 --> 01:59:38,960
First and foremost, we need to create an

3343
01:59:38,960 --> 01:59:41,240
environment online, on the social media and in

3344
01:59:41,240 --> 01:59:43,500
video games, et cetera, that if kids and

3345
01:59:43,500 --> 01:59:45,000
young people should be there, it needs to

3346
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:47,640
be much safer than it is today.

3347
01:59:48,200 --> 01:59:49,820
And one of the ways we can make

3348
01:59:49,820 --> 01:59:51,840
it safer is to say that we will

3349
01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:56,720
ban the most addictive and harmful design features

3350
01:59:56,720 --> 01:59:57,740
we see online.

3351
01:59:57,940 --> 02:00:00,260
The thing that makes us scroll and scroll,

3352
02:00:00,420 --> 02:00:01,800
I mean, the kids scroll and scroll and

3353
02:00:01,800 --> 02:00:03,640
it's very difficult for them to put down

3354
02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:04,420
the phone.

3355
02:00:04,900 --> 02:00:06,540
We are not controlling the algorithms.

3356
02:00:06,540 --> 02:00:11,060
The algorithms, they are controlled outside EU, in

3357
02:00:11,060 --> 02:00:12,900
the United States, in China.

3358
02:00:13,320 --> 02:00:14,740
We want to control the people.

3359
02:00:15,120 --> 02:00:17,320
In the Middle East, but not in Europe.

3360
02:00:17,900 --> 02:00:19,080
So we don't know.

3361
02:00:19,440 --> 02:00:22,860
And our kids are being formed by these

3362
02:00:22,860 --> 02:00:26,500
algorithms in their approach to each other, to

3363
02:00:26,500 --> 02:00:30,900
commercial things, to how we interact, to democracy,

3364
02:00:31,440 --> 02:00:32,540
et cetera, et cetera.

3365
02:00:32,980 --> 02:00:35,200
By the way, our kids are being formed

3366
02:00:35,200 --> 02:00:37,160
the same way, lady, that just as retarded

3367
02:00:37,160 --> 02:00:37,940
as your kids.

3368
02:00:38,660 --> 02:00:41,280
And that's really a huge experiment and we

3369
02:00:41,280 --> 02:00:41,940
need to stop it.

3370
02:00:42,040 --> 02:00:42,580
We need to end that now.

3371
02:00:42,580 --> 02:00:43,120
And here we go.

3372
02:00:43,340 --> 02:00:44,840
One of the ways we can do that

3373
02:00:44,840 --> 02:00:46,880
is by saying, well, we need to have

3374
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:49,400
an age limit and that age limit needs

3375
02:00:49,400 --> 02:00:51,680
to be controlled so that we can make

3376
02:00:51,680 --> 02:00:53,240
sure that at least the social media we

3377
02:00:53,240 --> 02:00:55,560
know today, that it is not possible to

3378
02:00:55,560 --> 02:00:58,420
access them until you are at least 13.

3379
02:00:58,520 --> 02:00:59,960
We're saying 16 years old.

3380
02:01:00,160 --> 02:01:02,220
And then if you want to go online

3381
02:01:02,220 --> 02:01:04,960
before you need to have your parents consent,

3382
02:01:04,960 --> 02:01:07,680
we want to avoid a fragmented internal market.

3383
02:01:07,860 --> 02:01:10,220
And that's why we suggest a harmonized EU

3384
02:01:10,220 --> 02:01:14,880
age limit and give some systems that could

3385
02:01:14,880 --> 02:01:16,280
be used to check it.

3386
02:01:16,520 --> 02:01:17,720
But for us, it's very important.

3387
02:01:17,880 --> 02:01:19,680
For the parliament, it is very important that

3388
02:01:19,680 --> 02:01:22,380
the systems that would check the age needs

3389
02:01:22,380 --> 02:01:24,360
to be privacy preserving.

3390
02:01:24,680 --> 02:01:27,040
It needs to be accurate and it needs

3391
02:01:27,040 --> 02:01:27,560
to be robust.

3392
02:01:27,820 --> 02:01:29,260
And we will give you these systems.

3393
02:01:29,540 --> 02:01:31,400
We will give you the systems to check

3394
02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:32,040
your ID.

3395
02:01:32,580 --> 02:01:33,000
This is coming.

3396
02:01:33,560 --> 02:01:34,720
They're going all in.

3397
02:01:36,500 --> 02:01:39,320
With their digital euro coming in 2027.

3398
02:01:39,540 --> 02:01:40,440
I think it's inevitable.

3399
02:01:41,220 --> 02:01:41,840
It is.

3400
02:01:42,460 --> 02:01:43,240
It is.

3401
02:01:44,340 --> 02:01:45,440
There's no other way.

3402
02:01:45,700 --> 02:01:46,700
The internet brought it to us.

3403
02:01:46,800 --> 02:01:47,480
Thank you, internet.

3404
02:01:47,980 --> 02:01:50,660
You know, I have this one clip and

3405
02:01:50,660 --> 02:01:52,240
it kind of gives me hope in a

3406
02:01:52,240 --> 02:01:52,460
way.

3407
02:01:52,580 --> 02:01:54,480
But the thing is, when we say the

3408
02:01:54,480 --> 02:01:57,140
internet, all people think about is the stupid

3409
02:01:57,140 --> 02:02:03,940
phone, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, BlueCry, blah, blah,

3410
02:02:04,100 --> 02:02:04,200
blah.

3411
02:02:04,220 --> 02:02:07,680
Well, they must realize that we, as you

3412
02:02:07,680 --> 02:02:10,840
say those words, we're doing this over the

3413
02:02:10,840 --> 02:02:11,380
internet.

3414
02:02:12,680 --> 02:02:14,360
And we're not on a platform.

3415
02:02:14,560 --> 02:02:16,140
Although I did sign us up for Spotify.

3416
02:02:17,800 --> 02:02:19,140
Okay, well, you stay.

3417
02:02:19,860 --> 02:02:20,240
Okay.

3418
02:02:21,340 --> 02:02:22,880
You can do that.

3419
02:02:23,800 --> 02:02:26,660
It's an experiment that's waiting to see what,

3420
02:02:26,660 --> 02:02:29,600
so we can, it's an experiment that I

3421
02:02:29,600 --> 02:02:30,420
think is worth doing.

3422
02:02:30,620 --> 02:02:32,260
Yeah, well, that's why we agreed I would

3423
02:02:32,260 --> 02:02:32,720
do that.

3424
02:02:33,120 --> 02:02:35,180
And this was to see, okay, we're still,

3425
02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:38,320
they're still processing our show, which I think

3426
02:02:38,320 --> 02:02:39,800
means they're not even going to let us

3427
02:02:39,800 --> 02:02:40,060
on.

3428
02:02:40,460 --> 02:02:42,720
Yeah, yeah, you got music.

3429
02:02:43,200 --> 02:02:43,940
You got music.

3430
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:44,920
You got music in there.

3431
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:46,060
You can't be honest.

3432
02:02:49,740 --> 02:02:52,360
People just have never been educated and understand

3433
02:02:52,360 --> 02:02:56,500
that you don't need to use Microsoft's Windows

3434
02:02:56,500 --> 02:02:57,660
or Mac.

3435
02:02:58,260 --> 02:03:00,240
You know, you can build a Linux machine

3436
02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:01,680
out of piece of crap hardware.

3437
02:03:01,800 --> 02:03:03,940
It'll probably work better than your Windows 11

3438
02:03:03,940 --> 02:03:04,540
machine.

3439
02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:07,700
That you can create your own website or

3440
02:03:07,700 --> 02:03:10,300
your, there's so many different ways to communicate

3441
02:03:10,960 --> 02:03:15,420
and to express your feelings, your, I mean,

3442
02:03:15,560 --> 02:03:17,580
Mastodon, set up a Mastodon server if you

3443
02:03:17,580 --> 02:03:18,100
want to.

3444
02:03:18,660 --> 02:03:19,140
You can do that.

3445
02:03:19,320 --> 02:03:19,580
Fediverse.

3446
02:03:19,820 --> 02:03:20,220
Fediverse.

3447
02:03:20,580 --> 02:03:23,100
There's all kinds of ways where people are

3448
02:03:23,100 --> 02:03:26,900
so, so bought into this is, this is

3449
02:03:26,900 --> 02:03:27,080
it.

3450
02:03:27,140 --> 02:03:28,180
This is the system.

3451
02:03:28,340 --> 02:03:29,880
And this is the internet, baby.

3452
02:03:29,980 --> 02:03:30,500
This is it.

3453
02:03:30,560 --> 02:03:32,100
But it's got my chat bots, my AI.

3454
02:03:32,340 --> 02:03:34,980
They are, they don't understand that the network

3455
02:03:34,980 --> 02:03:36,680
itself is the beautiful thing.

3456
02:03:37,200 --> 02:03:40,100
And the whole reason that podcasting the way

3457
02:03:40,100 --> 02:03:42,400
we do it, no one can really stop

3458
02:03:42,400 --> 02:03:43,360
us from doing that.

3459
02:03:44,080 --> 02:03:46,680
I mean, even if, you know, somehow they,

3460
02:03:46,780 --> 02:03:49,820
they, they went in, kidnapped void zero and

3461
02:03:49,820 --> 02:03:50,860
pulled all the plugs.

3462
02:03:50,860 --> 02:03:54,480
We're still on IPFS podcasting.net, which is

3463
02:03:54,480 --> 02:03:55,420
completely distributed.

3464
02:03:55,560 --> 02:03:57,400
There's no way you can get rid of

3465
02:03:57,400 --> 02:03:57,660
us.

3466
02:03:58,360 --> 02:04:00,600
There's, you know, you have the TOR network.

3467
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:02,660
There's all kinds of ways that we can

3468
02:04:02,660 --> 02:04:05,280
communicate that the government really can't do anything

3469
02:04:05,280 --> 02:04:05,520
about.

3470
02:04:05,640 --> 02:04:07,240
No government can really do.

3471
02:04:08,200 --> 02:04:08,640
Apaches?

3472
02:04:09,400 --> 02:04:10,740
Yeah, Apache helicopter.

3473
02:04:10,880 --> 02:04:11,940
They can stop us both.

3474
02:04:12,980 --> 02:04:13,760
Well, okay.

3475
02:04:14,040 --> 02:04:16,260
Yes, they could stop us with Apaches, but

3476
02:04:16,260 --> 02:04:17,520
they got to have a lot of Apaches

3477
02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:18,460
to stop everybody.

3478
02:04:18,460 --> 02:04:21,780
And there's this Jen Zetter who I caught

3479
02:04:21,780 --> 02:04:22,540
on Tik Tok.

3480
02:04:22,700 --> 02:04:24,700
I'll admit I'm bringing in a Tik Tok

3481
02:04:24,700 --> 02:04:25,120
clip.

3482
02:04:25,260 --> 02:04:28,700
Oh, okay, poacher.

3483
02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:33,400
You're being mean to me now.

3484
02:04:33,500 --> 02:04:34,680
You're calling me names.

3485
02:04:35,320 --> 02:04:35,680
Poacher.

3486
02:04:36,800 --> 02:04:37,360
Poacher.

3487
02:04:38,860 --> 02:04:40,760
I'm the pod father of the poacher.

3488
02:04:42,660 --> 02:04:46,360
And I'm in one way happy about this,

3489
02:04:46,360 --> 02:04:47,860
on the other hand, a little sad, but

3490
02:04:47,860 --> 02:04:52,080
she's finally realizing that all these platforms suck.

3491
02:04:52,380 --> 02:04:55,000
Nothing feels authentic anymore because everything is an

3492
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:55,220
ad.

3493
02:04:55,320 --> 02:04:57,160
This week I've been writing about having ad

3494
02:04:57,160 --> 02:04:57,580
fatigue.

3495
02:04:57,860 --> 02:05:01,620
I have 29,916 unread marketing emails.

3496
02:05:01,880 --> 02:05:03,540
When I go to watch a YouTube video,

3497
02:05:03,780 --> 02:05:05,800
I have to watch three ads every five

3498
02:05:05,800 --> 02:05:06,180
minutes.

3499
02:05:06,360 --> 02:05:08,640
Pinterest and Instagram is just one big sponsored

3500
02:05:08,640 --> 02:05:09,360
post now.

3501
02:05:09,420 --> 02:05:11,280
Every time a video goes viral, a major

3502
02:05:11,280 --> 02:05:14,140
corporation is in the top comments acting like

3503
02:05:14,140 --> 02:05:15,400
they're a Gen Z intern.

3504
02:05:15,580 --> 02:05:17,980
Black Friday is somehow a month long and

3505
02:05:17,980 --> 02:05:19,180
nothing's actually on sale.

3506
02:05:19,340 --> 02:05:21,760
It just feels like around every corner now,

3507
02:05:21,860 --> 02:05:24,360
there is an ad lurking, waiting to capitalize

3508
02:05:24,360 --> 02:05:26,780
off our attention, waiting to capitalize off of

3509
02:05:26,780 --> 02:05:28,420
any real or genuine moment.

3510
02:05:28,640 --> 02:05:31,340
The boundaries between human being and brand have

3511
02:05:31,340 --> 02:05:33,520
become so blurred that it's difficult to distinguish

3512
02:05:33,520 --> 02:05:34,320
between the two.

3513
02:05:34,580 --> 02:05:36,020
Brands act like people online.

3514
02:05:36,220 --> 02:05:37,660
People act like brands online.

3515
02:05:37,920 --> 02:05:40,280
Influencers are people, but they're also living, breathing

3516
02:05:40,280 --> 02:05:40,760
ads.

3517
02:05:41,140 --> 02:05:44,980
Celebrities are also influencers and also brands as

3518
02:05:44,980 --> 02:05:45,260
well.

3519
02:05:45,340 --> 02:05:47,740
And regular people want to be influencers so

3520
02:05:47,740 --> 02:05:50,300
they will give recommendations and tag brands for

3521
02:05:50,300 --> 02:05:52,060
free in order to one day be able

3522
02:05:52,060 --> 02:05:53,080
to do a real ad.

3523
02:05:53,180 --> 02:05:55,240
The internet is really the wild west of

3524
02:05:55,240 --> 02:05:55,620
marketing.

3525
02:05:56,060 --> 02:05:58,600
There is really infinite space to squeeze ads

3526
02:05:58,600 --> 02:05:58,960
into.

3527
02:05:59,240 --> 02:06:01,280
Our data is being bought and sold to

3528
02:06:01,280 --> 02:06:03,220
hell and back just to pelt us with

3529
02:06:03,220 --> 02:06:03,620
marketing.

3530
02:06:03,880 --> 02:06:05,980
Sometimes it feels as though we've signed a

3531
02:06:05,980 --> 02:06:07,620
deal with the devil in order to use

3532
02:06:07,620 --> 02:06:08,600
these things for free.

3533
02:06:08,780 --> 02:06:10,140
And now we will just have to spend

3534
02:06:10,140 --> 02:06:12,560
the rest of our lives being marketed to.

3535
02:06:12,740 --> 02:06:14,600
But now somehow on top of that, we

3536
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:16,480
also have to pay subscription fees as well.

3537
02:06:16,480 --> 02:06:17,700
You want to hear more?

3538
02:06:17,780 --> 02:06:19,020
Cause she goes on for a bit here.

3539
02:06:19,440 --> 02:06:20,660
She's on a roll.

3540
02:06:20,860 --> 02:06:21,440
Yeah, she's good.

3541
02:06:21,620 --> 02:06:24,920
And online, everyone and everything can eventually be

3542
02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:25,220
bought.

3543
02:06:25,380 --> 02:06:27,640
The unspoken goal of the internet is to

3544
02:06:27,640 --> 02:06:29,120
reach monetization.

3545
02:06:29,580 --> 02:06:32,880
Anything that reaches viral success or started off

3546
02:06:32,880 --> 02:06:34,820
as like a genuine thing that people loved

3547
02:06:34,820 --> 02:06:35,640
and enjoyed.

3548
02:06:35,920 --> 02:06:38,160
She's not, she hasn't quite gotten to the,

3549
02:06:38,480 --> 02:06:40,560
wait a minute, maybe I'm the product here.

3550
02:06:41,080 --> 02:06:42,920
She hasn't quite heard that one.

3551
02:06:43,140 --> 02:06:45,220
Eventually we'll try to sell you something.

3552
02:06:45,220 --> 02:06:48,500
At some point, everything becomes a vehicle for

3553
02:06:48,500 --> 02:06:50,900
brands to sponsor or for celebrities to come

3554
02:06:50,900 --> 02:06:52,000
on and promote something.

3555
02:06:52,200 --> 02:06:53,760
And a lot of the times the platforms

3556
02:06:53,760 --> 02:06:56,480
that we once genuinely enjoyed using, like Pinterest,

3557
02:06:56,800 --> 02:07:00,040
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube become so clogged up with

3558
02:07:00,040 --> 02:07:01,520
ads that it starts to feel like there

3559
02:07:01,520 --> 02:07:03,400
are more ads than actual content.

3560
02:07:03,580 --> 02:07:04,840
See, this is where it goes wrong.

3561
02:07:04,940 --> 02:07:06,840
This is because it's free, free.

3562
02:07:06,960 --> 02:07:07,460
It's all free.

3563
02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:08,120
It's just free.

3564
02:07:08,400 --> 02:07:09,480
The internet is free.

3565
02:07:10,240 --> 02:07:13,620
No one ever taught these kids that there

3566
02:07:13,620 --> 02:07:15,320
is no free lunch.

3567
02:07:15,780 --> 02:07:17,540
Ain't no free lunch, kid.

3568
02:07:17,920 --> 02:07:19,840
I understand that we need ads to pay

3569
02:07:19,840 --> 02:07:22,160
for things, but it reaches a certain point

3570
02:07:22,160 --> 02:07:24,380
where it actually starts to interfere with the

3571
02:07:24,380 --> 02:07:25,780
original purpose of the thing.

3572
02:07:25,980 --> 02:07:29,380
No, no, the original purpose was always to

3573
02:07:29,380 --> 02:07:31,080
use your data to make money.

3574
02:07:31,200 --> 02:07:32,820
And the end result is, I think it's

3575
02:07:32,820 --> 02:07:35,280
just reached a point where it's infiltrated all

3576
02:07:35,280 --> 02:07:37,220
of our culture and all of our lives.

3577
02:07:37,580 --> 02:07:40,240
Musicians just feel like marketing projects now.

3578
02:07:40,240 --> 02:07:43,420
We have respected actors doing Deliveroo ads and

3579
02:07:43,420 --> 02:07:44,640
starting liquor companies.

3580
02:07:45,040 --> 02:07:46,880
Movies and TV shows start to feel like

3581
02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:49,160
excuses for product placement and IP.

3582
02:07:49,380 --> 02:07:51,120
And it's made everything feel like there's an

3583
02:07:51,120 --> 02:07:52,960
ulterior motive because there is.

3584
02:07:53,240 --> 02:07:54,900
But the irony of it all is, I

3585
02:07:54,900 --> 02:07:56,940
don't remember the last time an ad actually

3586
02:07:56,940 --> 02:07:57,660
worked on me.

3587
02:07:57,720 --> 02:07:59,440
If anything, if I notice that a brand

3588
02:07:59,440 --> 02:08:01,560
emails me too much or it shows up

3589
02:08:01,560 --> 02:08:03,380
too much on my social media, I actually

3590
02:08:03,380 --> 02:08:04,440
start to resent them.

3591
02:08:04,620 --> 02:08:06,940
I buy most of my stuff secondhand because

3592
02:08:06,940 --> 02:08:09,220
honestly, a lot of new stuff is just

3593
02:08:09,220 --> 02:08:09,600
crap.

3594
02:08:09,600 --> 02:08:12,100
Like the quality is really bad because I

3595
02:08:12,100 --> 02:08:14,580
think these companies spent all their budget on

3596
02:08:14,580 --> 02:08:14,980
marketing.

3597
02:08:15,180 --> 02:08:17,660
So maybe if everything is an ad, then

3598
02:08:17,660 --> 02:08:19,300
nothing is actually an ad.

3599
02:08:19,360 --> 02:08:22,060
Because honestly, I've just become so overwhelmed by

3600
02:08:22,060 --> 02:08:23,380
the amount of people that are trying to

3601
02:08:23,380 --> 02:08:25,220
make money off me that I'm just kind

3602
02:08:25,220 --> 02:08:26,200
of numb to it all.

3603
02:08:26,680 --> 02:08:28,920
Ah, I'm happy and yet sad somehow.

3604
02:08:29,120 --> 02:08:30,100
I'm not quite sure why.

3605
02:08:31,720 --> 02:08:34,420
Well, she's got some note of realization.

3606
02:08:34,620 --> 02:08:36,300
I don't know if she, you're right.

3607
02:08:36,400 --> 02:08:38,040
She hasn't figured out that she's the product

3608
02:08:38,040 --> 02:08:38,980
in many cases.

3609
02:08:39,620 --> 02:08:42,140
No one taught her this.

3610
02:08:42,460 --> 02:08:44,240
Or the no free lunch thing.

3611
02:08:44,500 --> 02:08:45,240
What do you expect?

3612
02:08:45,520 --> 02:08:45,680
Yeah.

3613
02:08:46,280 --> 02:08:48,060
Listen to your uncles, Adam and John.

3614
02:08:48,200 --> 02:08:49,680
We boomers know a thing or two.

3615
02:08:50,260 --> 02:08:52,580
We've seen enough ads in our life.

3616
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:56,400
We've created them too.

3617
02:08:56,700 --> 02:08:59,040
And that's one of the reasons we don't

3618
02:08:59,040 --> 02:09:01,040
have ads on this show.

3619
02:09:01,880 --> 02:09:03,580
We are value for value.

3620
02:09:03,880 --> 02:09:06,280
And that is my cue to say, I'd

3621
02:09:06,280 --> 02:09:07,700
like to thank you for your courage.

3622
02:09:07,700 --> 02:09:09,500
The man who put the sea and can't

3623
02:09:09,500 --> 02:09:10,200
afford the rent.

3624
02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:11,700
Say hello to my friend on the other

3625
02:09:11,700 --> 02:09:11,880
end.

3626
02:09:11,940 --> 02:09:14,400
The one, the only Mr. John C.

3627
02:09:15,400 --> 02:09:15,800
DeMora.

3628
02:09:19,580 --> 02:09:20,420
Hello, I'm DeMora.

3629
02:09:20,580 --> 02:09:21,020
It's good to see you today.

3630
02:09:21,120 --> 02:09:22,880
Currently, we have a bunch of graffiti in

3631
02:09:22,880 --> 02:09:23,640
the air, subs in the water.

3632
02:09:23,980 --> 02:09:25,880
And all the dames and knights out there.

3633
02:09:25,960 --> 02:09:27,720
In the morning to the trolls in the

3634
02:09:27,720 --> 02:09:28,300
troll room.

3635
02:09:28,440 --> 02:09:29,420
Stop moving around.

3636
02:09:29,560 --> 02:09:30,280
Let me catch you.

3637
02:09:33,260 --> 02:09:34,680
Oh, actually surprising.

3638
02:09:35,220 --> 02:09:40,180
1,907 for a Thanksgiving weekend.

3639
02:09:40,360 --> 02:09:41,060
That's not too bad.

3640
02:09:41,280 --> 02:09:42,220
I'm surprised.

3641
02:09:42,400 --> 02:09:43,320
I'm very surprised.

3642
02:09:43,480 --> 02:09:45,360
Although we'll whip right through the donations.

3643
02:09:45,560 --> 02:09:46,140
That's for sure.

3644
02:09:46,220 --> 02:09:47,220
Yeah, there's no donations.

3645
02:09:47,440 --> 02:09:48,680
Nobody gave us any donations.

3646
02:09:48,680 --> 02:09:50,040
All we got is a bunch of ads,

3647
02:09:50,180 --> 02:09:50,380
man.

3648
02:09:50,700 --> 02:09:51,740
We got no donations.

3649
02:09:51,900 --> 02:09:52,600
We got plugs.

3650
02:09:53,000 --> 02:09:54,000
Everyone's got a plug.

3651
02:09:54,800 --> 02:09:58,980
Ah, speaking of plugs, I have something to

3652
02:09:58,980 --> 02:09:59,220
say.

3653
02:09:59,980 --> 02:10:01,440
You're getting hair plugs finally.

3654
02:10:01,680 --> 02:10:03,180
No, no, no, no, no.

3655
02:10:03,740 --> 02:10:09,080
So I was very against the Warren was

3656
02:10:09,080 --> 02:10:13,300
Senator Elizabeth Warren bull crap over the air

3657
02:10:13,300 --> 02:10:16,160
over the counter hearing aids.

3658
02:10:17,540 --> 02:10:18,820
Oh, yes, yes, totally.

3659
02:10:18,980 --> 02:10:21,440
And the main reason is I feel that

3660
02:10:21,440 --> 02:10:23,460
you need they're not hearing aids and they're

3661
02:10:23,460 --> 02:10:24,740
not done by an audiologist.

3662
02:10:25,820 --> 02:10:26,320
You need it.

3663
02:10:26,400 --> 02:10:28,480
You need an audiologist to help you set

3664
02:10:28,480 --> 02:10:28,780
it up.

3665
02:10:30,500 --> 02:10:35,260
And I my hearing, although it got much,

3666
02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:40,460
much better after my oral surgery, my hearing

3667
02:10:40,460 --> 02:10:42,660
just as I'm just as I'm aging out,

3668
02:10:42,700 --> 02:10:42,920
bro.

3669
02:10:43,020 --> 02:10:44,320
I'm just I'm aging out.

3670
02:10:45,020 --> 02:10:47,540
And so my hearing is not good enough.

3671
02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:50,600
And, you know, before you know it, Tina's

3672
02:10:50,600 --> 02:10:51,860
not going to talk to me anymore because

3673
02:10:51,860 --> 02:10:52,520
I don't answer.

3674
02:10:53,000 --> 02:10:54,640
So you can't hear her.

3675
02:10:54,820 --> 02:10:55,040
What?

3676
02:10:58,780 --> 02:10:59,760
Yeah, exactly.

3677
02:11:00,460 --> 02:11:03,840
And so I decided to try something new

3678
02:11:03,840 --> 02:11:07,560
because my previous Y decks were very expensive.

3679
02:11:07,940 --> 02:11:10,240
Those were like over $5,000.

3680
02:11:10,700 --> 02:11:13,360
Now, this is probably seven years ago, I

3681
02:11:13,360 --> 02:11:15,040
think eight years ago that I got those.

3682
02:11:15,480 --> 02:11:17,720
So I decide based on a tip from

3683
02:11:17,720 --> 02:11:20,060
my friend to try out Jabra.

3684
02:11:20,580 --> 02:11:22,500
And the reason I was OK trying out

3685
02:11:22,500 --> 02:11:25,120
Jabra one, they've been around for a long

3686
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:25,460
time.

3687
02:11:25,540 --> 02:11:29,340
They've been doing, you know, phone connections, mobile

3688
02:11:29,340 --> 02:11:32,260
headsets for cheese for longer than for as

3689
02:11:32,260 --> 02:11:33,980
long as the show's been around, I think.

3690
02:11:34,440 --> 02:11:36,700
Remember the Jabra headset, the one of the

3691
02:11:36,700 --> 02:11:39,380
first with that stick stick microphone next to

3692
02:11:39,380 --> 02:11:40,920
your mouth that was the Jabra guys.

3693
02:11:41,380 --> 02:11:44,900
And they have created an behind the ear

3694
02:11:44,900 --> 02:11:49,020
with a little wire with a little receiver

3695
02:11:49,020 --> 02:11:50,280
going into your ear.

3696
02:11:51,200 --> 02:11:54,020
And they give you three years of audiology

3697
02:11:54,020 --> 02:11:54,660
appointments.

3698
02:11:54,760 --> 02:11:56,780
So and that's built into the price, which

3699
02:11:56,780 --> 02:11:59,160
is a big deal to you, which I

3700
02:11:59,160 --> 02:12:01,600
think that's a valid commentary.

3701
02:12:02,080 --> 02:12:02,940
So I was like, OK.

3702
02:12:03,180 --> 02:12:06,280
And and the price $1,600 with a

3703
02:12:06,280 --> 02:12:08,080
100 day money back guarantee.

3704
02:12:08,580 --> 02:12:10,320
So I'm like, what do I have to

3705
02:12:10,320 --> 02:12:10,640
lose?

3706
02:12:12,520 --> 02:12:14,700
These things are amazing.

3707
02:12:15,680 --> 02:12:18,580
I mean, absolutely amazing.

3708
02:12:19,380 --> 02:12:22,820
And I have just been enjoying my life

3709
02:12:22,820 --> 02:12:26,380
so much with these with these hearing aids.

3710
02:12:26,560 --> 02:12:28,140
They are proper hearing aids.

3711
02:12:28,860 --> 02:12:30,820
Don't go for anything else because people always

3712
02:12:30,820 --> 02:12:31,820
ask me what hearing aids.

3713
02:12:32,420 --> 02:12:34,340
These things are fantastic.

3714
02:12:34,920 --> 02:12:36,260
Now I'm not getting paid by them.

3715
02:12:36,360 --> 02:12:37,940
I paid for my hearing aids.

3716
02:12:38,540 --> 02:12:40,000
But but this is what we do when

3717
02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:40,980
we love a product.

3718
02:12:41,100 --> 02:12:41,940
We'll talk about it.

3719
02:12:42,200 --> 02:12:43,520
If we don't, we'll talk about it, how

3720
02:12:43,520 --> 02:12:44,440
crappy it is.

3721
02:12:45,420 --> 02:12:45,900
Amazing.

3722
02:12:46,280 --> 02:12:47,400
My life has changed.

3723
02:12:48,020 --> 02:12:48,220
It has.

3724
02:12:48,380 --> 02:12:49,180
So wait a minute.

3725
02:12:50,900 --> 02:12:54,800
You are giving nothing but grief to Elizabeth

3726
02:12:54,800 --> 02:12:55,860
Warren and her.

3727
02:12:56,780 --> 02:12:57,260
Her.

3728
02:12:57,440 --> 02:12:57,900
Yes.

3729
02:12:58,040 --> 02:13:00,580
Her being behind the changing of the definition

3730
02:13:00,580 --> 02:13:02,580
of a hearing aid, basically what we're talking

3731
02:13:02,580 --> 02:13:02,800
about.

3732
02:13:02,880 --> 02:13:03,100
Yes.

3733
02:13:03,780 --> 02:13:07,340
To a listening, you know, listening enhancing device.

3734
02:13:08,220 --> 02:13:08,880
Oh, they're all here.

3735
02:13:08,940 --> 02:13:10,160
Everything is a hearing aid now.

3736
02:13:10,260 --> 02:13:11,900
And so you could sell these things over

3737
02:13:11,900 --> 02:13:14,540
the counter without anybody helping you or anything.

3738
02:13:14,840 --> 02:13:16,580
And now you're changing.

3739
02:13:16,780 --> 02:13:18,340
I am changing your tune.

3740
02:13:18,560 --> 02:13:18,800
I am.

3741
02:13:18,920 --> 02:13:20,760
The first few years was horrible.

3742
02:13:21,420 --> 02:13:23,960
And, you know, she got the big money

3743
02:13:23,960 --> 02:13:27,100
from Bose and Bose has yet to come

3744
02:13:27,100 --> 02:13:28,460
out with anything worthwhile.

3745
02:13:28,700 --> 02:13:30,480
I track this stuff all the time.

3746
02:13:31,100 --> 02:13:32,220
And this miracle ear.

3747
02:13:32,320 --> 02:13:32,520
No, no.

3748
02:13:32,620 --> 02:13:33,580
I mean, no, no, no, no.

3749
02:13:33,600 --> 02:13:35,080
I don't see any of that being any

3750
02:13:35,080 --> 02:13:35,360
good.

3751
02:13:35,740 --> 02:13:38,420
But when I saw these like, OK, I

3752
02:13:38,420 --> 02:13:39,140
know Jabra.

3753
02:13:39,220 --> 02:13:43,940
I've had Jabra headsets, the audiology three years

3754
02:13:43,940 --> 02:13:44,480
of a point.

3755
02:13:44,640 --> 02:13:47,660
I like, yeah, OK, this is now you're

3756
02:13:47,660 --> 02:13:48,540
talking something different.

3757
02:13:48,580 --> 02:13:50,260
And this is high tech stuff.

3758
02:13:50,940 --> 02:13:53,280
It's and I learned about Oracast.

3759
02:13:53,400 --> 02:13:54,800
Have you ever heard of Oracast?

3760
02:13:55,100 --> 02:13:56,420
I have heard of them.

3761
02:13:56,820 --> 02:13:57,540
So Oracast.

3762
02:13:57,680 --> 02:14:00,180
So normally, if you so if you pair

3763
02:14:00,180 --> 02:14:03,720
these these hearing aids to a modern smartphone,

3764
02:14:03,720 --> 02:14:05,260
which you can easily do, it's Bluetooth.

3765
02:14:05,460 --> 02:14:06,600
It's low energy Bluetooth.

3766
02:14:08,820 --> 02:14:11,380
And but that's just, you know, it's just

3767
02:14:11,380 --> 02:14:13,940
you and no one else can tap into

3768
02:14:13,940 --> 02:14:14,700
that, obviously.

3769
02:14:16,220 --> 02:14:18,840
Oracast is I don't know when this came

3770
02:14:18,840 --> 02:14:21,480
into being, but my new television happens to

3771
02:14:21,480 --> 02:14:21,960
have it.

3772
02:14:22,960 --> 02:14:25,900
It's basically a transmitter that anybody can tap

3773
02:14:25,900 --> 02:14:26,240
into.

3774
02:14:26,460 --> 02:14:28,840
And they apparently are sending, you know, the

3775
02:14:28,840 --> 02:14:33,420
people are placing these Oracast transmitters everywhere and

3776
02:14:33,420 --> 02:14:35,040
you can connect to it right away.

3777
02:14:35,160 --> 02:14:36,040
Boom, you're done.

3778
02:14:36,200 --> 02:14:38,360
You don't need passwords, no pairing, none of

3779
02:14:38,360 --> 02:14:38,900
that stuff.

3780
02:14:39,380 --> 02:14:40,840
So you can listen to LG sets all

3781
02:14:40,840 --> 02:14:41,680
have these features.

3782
02:14:42,020 --> 02:14:42,260
Yes.

3783
02:14:42,400 --> 02:14:44,960
And it's been fantastic, which is why we

3784
02:14:44,960 --> 02:14:47,140
promoted the set, even though we got grief,

3785
02:14:47,900 --> 02:14:48,560
we got grief.

3786
02:14:49,120 --> 02:14:52,140
Well, Mimi and one kid, how can you

3787
02:14:52,140 --> 02:14:53,380
be promoting a thousand?

3788
02:14:53,500 --> 02:14:55,120
You're always having cheap products.

3789
02:14:55,200 --> 02:14:56,240
The next thing you know, you get a

3790
02:14:56,240 --> 02:14:57,760
thousand dollar television set.

3791
02:14:57,800 --> 02:14:59,080
You're saying is good.

3792
02:14:59,340 --> 02:15:00,700
That was pretty cheap.

3793
02:15:01,360 --> 02:15:02,740
It was what it is.

3794
02:15:03,020 --> 02:15:04,040
What it is.

3795
02:15:04,120 --> 02:15:06,340
My first TV in 13 years.

3796
02:15:06,480 --> 02:15:07,780
I used to have to pay two twenty

3797
02:15:07,780 --> 02:15:09,280
five hundred bucks for a PC.

3798
02:15:09,700 --> 02:15:10,380
Yeah, really.

3799
02:15:11,120 --> 02:15:12,480
Anyway, back to the Jabras.

3800
02:15:13,160 --> 02:15:15,080
Even if you don't have hearing loss, these

3801
02:15:15,080 --> 02:15:17,940
things are amazing because you can get the

3802
02:15:17,940 --> 02:15:19,880
clothes domes.

3803
02:15:20,260 --> 02:15:21,280
So you plug them in your ear.

3804
02:15:21,380 --> 02:15:24,100
It is just like having over the ear

3805
02:15:24,100 --> 02:15:26,480
headsets on all the time that you can

3806
02:15:26,480 --> 02:15:27,800
completely control the sound.

3807
02:15:27,880 --> 02:15:31,120
But I'm a sound freak, so I love

3808
02:15:31,120 --> 02:15:32,080
the sound.

3809
02:15:33,280 --> 02:15:35,340
You're using them as we speak instead of

3810
02:15:35,340 --> 02:15:35,880
cans?

3811
02:15:36,280 --> 02:15:37,760
No, I did.

3812
02:15:38,220 --> 02:15:41,240
No, because the cans don't work with the

3813
02:15:41,240 --> 02:15:43,620
hearing aids, but I did order.

3814
02:15:43,940 --> 02:15:45,160
It's like I said, instead of the can.

3815
02:15:45,220 --> 02:15:48,860
No, no, because I need an Oracast transmitter.

3816
02:15:49,020 --> 02:15:50,600
It's like thirty five bucks off of Amazon.

3817
02:15:51,360 --> 02:15:53,480
So hopefully it'll come in before Thursday.

3818
02:15:53,580 --> 02:15:56,120
I can try it out because it's the

3819
02:15:56,120 --> 02:15:57,100
same concept.

3820
02:15:57,260 --> 02:15:59,460
You're going to be uncomfortable without the cans.

3821
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:01,200
Well, maybe, maybe not.

3822
02:16:01,560 --> 02:16:02,640
But I'll tell you something.

3823
02:16:03,300 --> 02:16:04,840
I can hear my wife.

3824
02:16:05,180 --> 02:16:06,640
I can hear in the kitchen all the

3825
02:16:06,640 --> 02:16:07,300
way from the studio.

3826
02:16:07,500 --> 02:16:09,100
There's a downside to everything.

3827
02:16:09,460 --> 02:16:13,280
Well, the downside is I'm speaking much softer

3828
02:16:13,280 --> 02:16:13,900
in person.

3829
02:16:15,280 --> 02:16:16,320
Oh, you're not screaming.

3830
02:16:16,320 --> 02:16:17,100
Exactly.

3831
02:16:18,760 --> 02:16:20,280
She said, did you hear me?

3832
02:16:20,320 --> 02:16:21,420
I said, yeah, I said, I'm coming.

3833
02:16:22,300 --> 02:16:23,700
So now she can't hear me.

3834
02:16:23,780 --> 02:16:24,920
So now I'll have to get her some

3835
02:16:24,920 --> 02:16:25,440
jobbers.

3836
02:16:26,100 --> 02:16:26,900
Anyway, what?

3837
02:16:29,140 --> 02:16:31,000
Anyway, I don't know how I got to

3838
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:31,240
that.

3839
02:16:31,280 --> 02:16:33,400
Other than we're talking about ads and value

3840
02:16:33,400 --> 02:16:34,100
for value.

3841
02:16:34,520 --> 02:16:37,219
It's a good product, very, very good value.

3842
02:16:37,940 --> 02:16:40,139
It's worth it for your ears, particularly for

3843
02:16:40,139 --> 02:16:43,559
men, because there's number one cause of depression

3844
02:16:43,559 --> 02:16:46,059
and isolationism is when you can't hear properly.

3845
02:16:46,320 --> 02:16:48,700
You can take that little hearing test on

3846
02:16:48,700 --> 02:16:49,260
the website.

3847
02:16:49,459 --> 02:16:50,299
It's pretty decent.

3848
02:16:50,840 --> 02:16:51,280
Yeah.

3849
02:16:52,299 --> 02:16:52,740
So.

3850
02:16:54,980 --> 02:16:57,040
Whether you're using hearing aids or not, you

3851
02:16:57,040 --> 02:16:58,520
should be listening to us on a modern

3852
02:16:58,520 --> 02:17:01,120
podcast app because it doesn't look like Spotify

3853
02:17:01,120 --> 02:17:02,240
is going to approve us.

3854
02:17:02,340 --> 02:17:03,920
I don't think we're actually in there yet.

3855
02:17:04,260 --> 02:17:05,200
Says processing.

3856
02:17:05,340 --> 02:17:06,740
I've been doing it for 24 hours.

3857
02:17:06,740 --> 02:17:07,680
Now they're getting picky.

3858
02:17:08,020 --> 02:17:08,740
OK, well, good.

3859
02:17:08,799 --> 02:17:10,360
We can say, well, they refuse to take

3860
02:17:10,360 --> 02:17:10,840
our feed.

3861
02:17:11,080 --> 02:17:13,700
Yes, our feed, our open feed, man.

3862
02:17:13,820 --> 02:17:14,120
Yeah.

3863
02:17:14,680 --> 02:17:16,820
However, you can use a modern podcast app,

3864
02:17:16,879 --> 02:17:18,180
which will give you all kinds of cool

3865
02:17:18,180 --> 02:17:18,639
features.

3866
02:17:19,400 --> 02:17:22,719
And even Podverse actually is built for accessibility.

3867
02:17:22,959 --> 02:17:25,940
So if you have vision problems, Podverse does

3868
02:17:25,940 --> 02:17:26,879
a very good job of that.

3869
02:17:26,920 --> 02:17:28,520
But there's many more to be found at

3870
02:17:28,520 --> 02:17:29,820
podcastapps.com.

3871
02:17:29,959 --> 02:17:32,240
As part of the value for value system,

3872
02:17:32,379 --> 02:17:35,180
we take time, talent and treasure in return

3873
02:17:35,700 --> 02:17:38,600
for the valuable service that we provide.

3874
02:17:38,740 --> 02:17:40,660
And we have a lot of people who

3875
02:17:40,660 --> 02:17:43,360
used to work really hard at creating creating

3876
02:17:43,360 --> 02:17:44,600
artwork for us.

3877
02:17:44,959 --> 02:17:47,440
Now people just prompt away and consider it

3878
02:17:47,440 --> 02:17:47,740
done.

3879
02:17:48,240 --> 02:17:49,280
Like, oh, I don't have to donate.

3880
02:17:49,520 --> 02:17:51,120
I prompted a little bit and gave him

3881
02:17:51,120 --> 02:17:51,559
some art.

3882
02:17:51,920 --> 02:17:53,580
No, not really the way it works.

3883
02:17:54,120 --> 02:17:56,900
But we do want to thank Jock10, J

3884
02:17:56,900 --> 02:17:59,200
-O-Q-10, who brought us the artwork

3885
02:17:59,200 --> 02:18:00,580
for episode 1820.

3886
02:18:00,639 --> 02:18:02,139
We titled that Tokyo Rose.

3887
02:18:02,360 --> 02:18:05,160
And this was, I think, the best one

3888
02:18:05,160 --> 02:18:06,980
for Thanksgiving that we could find.

3889
02:18:07,540 --> 02:18:11,520
Abraham Lincoln carving a turkey with an American.

3890
02:18:11,520 --> 02:18:14,059
This was basically your pick, which I couldn't

3891
02:18:14,059 --> 02:18:14,959
argue against.

3892
02:18:15,200 --> 02:18:17,580
Yeah, you didn't agree, but you couldn't argue

3893
02:18:17,580 --> 02:18:18,299
against it.

3894
02:18:19,139 --> 02:18:21,020
I didn't like, I mean, I wish we

3895
02:18:21,020 --> 02:18:23,340
had something better, but it was cute.

3896
02:18:23,520 --> 02:18:24,459
It had an Indian.

3897
02:18:24,520 --> 02:18:25,700
I don't know what the point, you know,

3898
02:18:25,719 --> 02:18:28,080
there's an Indian ready to kill Lincoln.

3899
02:18:28,280 --> 02:18:30,340
I don't know what the reason for that

3900
02:18:30,340 --> 02:18:31,000
was, but.

3901
02:18:32,700 --> 02:18:35,340
Yeah, you know, there wasn't a lot of

3902
02:18:35,340 --> 02:18:35,600
things.

3903
02:18:35,719 --> 02:18:37,719
I mean, everyone did some Thanksgiving stuff.

3904
02:18:38,240 --> 02:18:39,299
Yeah, but they were all lame.

3905
02:18:39,320 --> 02:18:40,400
They weren't really good.

3906
02:18:40,400 --> 02:18:44,139
No, so I don't think we even contemplated

3907
02:18:44,139 --> 02:18:45,219
anything else, did we?

3908
02:18:45,920 --> 02:18:49,280
Oh, yeah, we contemplated Jeffrey Ria's 3D soup

3909
02:18:49,280 --> 02:18:52,160
can, but you might want to talk about

3910
02:18:52,160 --> 02:18:54,040
the technical issues we had with it.

3911
02:18:54,219 --> 02:18:56,100
Yeah, now he's going to get irked by

3912
02:18:56,100 --> 02:18:56,440
this.

3913
02:18:57,180 --> 02:19:01,139
He had the curvature mapped on, you know,

3914
02:19:01,160 --> 02:19:02,840
not perfectly, but pretty good for like for

3915
02:19:02,840 --> 02:19:05,059
no agenda and Curry and DeVore kind of

3916
02:19:05,059 --> 02:19:07,059
wraps around the can like it, you know,

3917
02:19:07,120 --> 02:19:08,580
like it would be for a can.

3918
02:19:08,580 --> 02:19:13,219
Except the word con drum, whatever they do,

3919
02:19:13,219 --> 02:19:14,219
any wrapping whatsoever.

3920
02:19:14,219 --> 02:19:16,080
And what does it even mean?

3921
02:19:16,120 --> 02:19:17,420
And why is it on the can?

3922
02:19:19,340 --> 02:19:20,440
We don't know.

3923
02:19:20,820 --> 02:19:22,280
Is it supposed to be conundrum?

3924
02:19:22,500 --> 02:19:23,500
That's a different word.

3925
02:19:23,660 --> 02:19:24,559
I don't know.

3926
02:19:24,700 --> 02:19:26,600
And it wasn't wrapped, so it wasn't wrapped.

3927
02:19:26,700 --> 02:19:27,379
Yeah, it was too bad.

3928
02:19:27,959 --> 02:19:28,959
Anyway, thank you very much.

3929
02:19:29,059 --> 02:19:30,200
Jock 10 no agenda.

3930
02:19:30,379 --> 02:19:31,740
Art generator dot com.

3931
02:19:31,860 --> 02:19:34,459
Use the exact sizes as specified when you

3932
02:19:34,459 --> 02:19:36,080
try to upload from your new account.

3933
02:19:36,500 --> 02:19:38,520
Has to be the exact size as specified.

3934
02:19:39,520 --> 02:19:39,959
No agenda.

3935

Art generator dot com.

3936
02:19:41,059 --> 02:19:43,379
Now we always like to thank everybody who

3937
02:19:43,379 --> 02:19:44,559
supports the show financially.

3938
02:19:44,780 --> 02:19:45,480
We need that.

3939
02:19:46,100 --> 02:19:46,780
That's it.

3940
02:19:46,820 --> 02:19:47,860
This is our only job.

3941
02:19:48,040 --> 02:19:49,180
It's a full time job.

3942
02:19:49,540 --> 02:19:51,420
We don't want to live in the favela.

3943
02:19:53,760 --> 02:19:56,460
Although we could run the favela, that might

3944
02:19:56,460 --> 02:19:56,900
be something.

3945
02:19:57,220 --> 02:19:58,820
I think it takes tougher guys than us.

3946
02:19:58,940 --> 02:20:00,060
Yeah, it probably does.

3947
02:20:02,180 --> 02:20:03,200
$50 and above.

3948
02:20:03,260 --> 02:20:05,280
We thank everybody not under 50 for reasons

3949
02:20:05,280 --> 02:20:05,960
of anonymity.

3950
02:20:06,040 --> 02:20:07,540
People still want to be anonymous in this

3951
02:20:07,540 --> 02:20:07,780
world.

3952
02:20:07,860 --> 02:20:08,660
We respect that.

3953
02:20:08,660 --> 02:20:11,140
We see you all the 49 99's multiple

3954
02:20:11,140 --> 02:20:11,580
times.

3955
02:20:11,680 --> 02:20:12,120
Thank you.

3956
02:20:12,760 --> 02:20:14,680
But first, we thank people who came in

3957
02:20:14,680 --> 02:20:15,860
with $200 or more.

3958
02:20:15,900 --> 02:20:17,260
If they were fortunate enough to be able

3959
02:20:17,260 --> 02:20:18,840
to support us with that, we give you

3960
02:20:18,840 --> 02:20:20,960
a title, an official Hollywood title for that.

3961
02:20:21,300 --> 02:20:23,840
Associate executive producer, which you can add to

3962
02:20:23,840 --> 02:20:25,000
an IMDb account.

3963
02:20:25,120 --> 02:20:26,280
If you don't already have one, you can

3964
02:20:26,280 --> 02:20:27,920
open one with it and we'll read your

3965
02:20:27,920 --> 02:20:28,160
note.

3966
02:20:28,560 --> 02:20:29,680
$300 and above.

3967
02:20:29,780 --> 02:20:33,320
You become an executive producer and the same

3968
02:20:33,320 --> 02:20:35,020
same rules apply there.

3969
02:20:35,080 --> 02:20:38,120
It's worthy of any type of Hollywood credit

3970
02:20:38,120 --> 02:20:41,300
placement and we will read your note and

3971
02:20:41,300 --> 02:20:43,780
we start off with L.E. Hovdenes.

3972
02:20:44,300 --> 02:20:45,220
I think I got that right.

3973
02:20:45,320 --> 02:20:45,920
Parts unknown.

3974
02:20:47,200 --> 02:20:49,600
$333 and 77 cents.

3975
02:20:49,760 --> 02:20:51,320
So lots of lucky numbers in there.

3976
02:20:51,740 --> 02:20:55,120
And L.E. Hovdenes says, hello, John and

3977
02:20:55,120 --> 02:20:55,300
Adam.

3978
02:20:55,860 --> 02:20:58,240
This is my first donation since college some

3979
02:20:58,240 --> 02:20:58,820
years ago.

3980
02:20:59,280 --> 02:21:01,860
This comes as a celebration as I've become

3981
02:21:01,860 --> 02:21:04,440
a published author as of November 30th.

3982
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:07,860
The book series is called The Universal Testaments

3983
02:21:07,860 --> 02:21:11,300
and the first book is verse one, separated

3984
02:21:11,300 --> 02:21:13,120
and entranced.

3985
02:21:13,920 --> 02:21:15,740
I've been working on it for seven years

3986
02:21:15,740 --> 02:21:17,980
and its genre is science fiction.

3987
02:21:18,140 --> 02:21:20,260
It's akin to space opera, but I call

3988
02:21:20,260 --> 02:21:23,140
it spiritual science fiction, though it fits a

3989
02:21:23,140 --> 02:21:25,900
number of categories, including military science fiction.

3990
02:21:26,520 --> 02:21:27,420
Oh, this is a plug.

3991
02:21:27,780 --> 02:21:29,100
The book can be found on Amazon.

3992
02:21:29,340 --> 02:21:33,460
The book series website is tutseries.com.

3993
02:21:33,740 --> 02:21:35,480
Thank you for what you guys are doing.

3994
02:21:35,480 --> 02:21:36,680
L.E. Hovdenes.

3995
02:21:36,840 --> 02:21:38,840
P.S. Adam and John, the No Agenda

3996
02:21:38,840 --> 02:21:42,060
producers alike might find a surprise in that

3997
02:21:42,060 --> 02:21:42,360
book.

3998
02:21:42,500 --> 02:21:44,840
Oh, so he's put some Easter eggs in

3999
02:21:44,840 --> 02:21:46,320
and he didn't ask for it, but I

4000
02:21:46,320 --> 02:21:47,720
think he deserves a de-douching.

4001
02:21:49,480 --> 02:21:51,180
You've been de-douched.

4002
02:21:53,540 --> 02:21:54,700
I'll get the next two.

4003
02:21:54,840 --> 02:21:59,540
Jason Raddick in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 350.93. My

4004
02:21:59,540 --> 02:22:01,600
note here in Philly, the word on the

4005
02:22:01,600 --> 02:22:02,400
street is John C.

4006
02:22:02,440 --> 02:22:04,020
Dvorak has got the chops.

4007
02:22:04,600 --> 02:22:06,000
Jobs, karma, please.

4008
02:22:06,220 --> 02:22:09,540
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4009
02:22:09,660 --> 02:22:11,240
Let's vote for jobs.

4010
02:22:14,180 --> 02:22:16,880
The next one is, this is a strike

4011
02:22:16,880 --> 02:22:17,360
donation.

4012
02:22:17,560 --> 02:22:20,980
This is a Bitcoin, $329.96, which should

4013
02:22:20,980 --> 02:22:24,900
be 333.33, but somehow the Bitcoin fluctuation.

4014
02:22:25,320 --> 02:22:25,960
Bitcoin went up.

4015
02:22:26,160 --> 02:22:26,920
Number go up.

4016
02:22:27,940 --> 02:22:29,900
Oh, number go down, number go down.

4017
02:22:30,320 --> 02:22:30,980
Number go down.

4018
02:22:31,580 --> 02:22:33,200
And this is from Crypto Granny.

4019
02:22:33,720 --> 02:22:34,560
In Thailand.

4020
02:22:34,880 --> 02:22:35,640
Thank you, Crypto Granny.

4021
02:22:35,860 --> 02:22:38,520
And this is specifically to thank us for

4022
02:22:38,520 --> 02:22:46,020
putting the links in the newsletter for Bitcoin.

4023
02:22:46,600 --> 02:22:47,320
And Lightning.

4024
02:22:47,540 --> 02:22:48,580
It's the Lightning Network.

4025
02:22:48,580 --> 02:22:49,340
And Lightning, yeah.

4026
02:22:49,400 --> 02:22:50,460
On the chain, yes.

4027
02:22:51,260 --> 02:22:54,000
Oh, so this is a thank you donation.

4028
02:22:54,220 --> 02:22:56,320
So we thank her for thanking us.

4029
02:22:56,720 --> 02:22:58,040
Thank you very much, Crypto Granny.

4030
02:22:58,700 --> 02:23:02,440
Oh, there's Christopher Gray from Mount Ockham, California.

4031
02:23:02,940 --> 02:23:03,460
242.

4032
02:23:04,200 --> 02:23:06,900
Saturday was the official shop small business day

4033
02:23:06,900 --> 02:23:07,840
at Little John's.

4034
02:23:07,920 --> 02:23:10,160
We strive to deliver on big flavor with

4035
02:23:10,160 --> 02:23:11,500
small business values.

4036
02:23:11,680 --> 02:23:13,380
And I have to say, we went to

4037
02:23:13,380 --> 02:23:14,100
the P.O. Box.

4038
02:23:14,260 --> 02:23:15,920
We got the box in good order.

4039
02:23:16,240 --> 02:23:16,760
Beautiful.

4040
02:23:17,680 --> 02:23:18,520
You're right, John.

4041
02:23:18,600 --> 02:23:20,580
Those chocolate turkeys are amazing.

4042
02:23:21,380 --> 02:23:23,520
And the toffees and the...

4043
02:23:24,880 --> 02:23:26,260
Is that their...

4044
02:23:26,260 --> 02:23:27,780
Do they sell that olive oil?

4045
02:23:28,040 --> 02:23:28,640
Or did they just...

4046
02:23:29,320 --> 02:23:30,080
I have no idea.

4047
02:23:30,080 --> 02:23:32,060
They got it from local businesses.

4048
02:23:32,640 --> 02:23:33,940
Thank you so much.

4049
02:23:34,020 --> 02:23:35,560
Tina and I really appreciate it.

4050
02:23:37,400 --> 02:23:40,120
Christopher continues, no AI, no robotics or machinery

4051
02:23:40,120 --> 02:23:40,560
here.

4052
02:23:40,920 --> 02:23:42,080
We have a simple perspective.

4053
02:23:42,540 --> 02:23:43,980
Low tech tastes better.

4054
02:23:45,300 --> 02:23:47,220
Now there's a bumper sticker.

4055
02:23:48,380 --> 02:23:49,820
Low tech tastes better.

4056
02:23:49,960 --> 02:23:50,460
I like that.

4057
02:23:50,620 --> 02:23:53,260
So after a weekend of CryptoFan and family,

4058
02:23:53,460 --> 02:23:55,260
if you didn't find what you need, consider

4059
02:23:55,260 --> 02:23:55,660
us.

4060
02:23:56,340 --> 02:23:58,660
We make our world famous English toffee from

4061
02:23:58,660 --> 02:23:59,280
scratch.

4062
02:23:59,280 --> 02:24:00,540
We make it today.

4063
02:24:00,660 --> 02:24:01,800
We ship it tomorrow.

4064
02:24:02,320 --> 02:24:05,660
Use code ITM10PLUS10 and not only save 10

4065
02:24:05,660 --> 02:24:07,960
% on your order, but donate 10%

4066
02:24:07,960 --> 02:24:10,220
of your toffee orders to the best podcast

4067
02:24:10,220 --> 02:24:13,000
in the universe, the No Agenda Show, where

4068
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:15,220
there are no meat puppets running the show.

4069
02:24:15,560 --> 02:24:17,880
And if toffee isn't your jam, you might

4070
02:24:17,880 --> 02:24:19,260
want to try a gigawatt coffee.

4071
02:24:19,660 --> 02:24:21,360
Eli and Jen make great coffee.

4072
02:24:22,280 --> 02:24:22,680
Wow.

4073
02:24:23,220 --> 02:24:26,940
We've got people promoting each other's products.

4074
02:24:27,840 --> 02:24:29,140
I love this.

4075
02:24:29,140 --> 02:24:31,460
This makes my heart full.

4076
02:24:31,920 --> 02:24:33,320
Holiday sales karma, please.

4077
02:24:33,440 --> 02:24:33,640
Yes.

4078
02:24:33,720 --> 02:24:35,500
Well, that will include a chocolate goat.

4079
02:24:35,780 --> 02:24:38,520
You've got karma.

4080
02:24:40,320 --> 02:24:42,460
Which does bring us to Eli, the coffee

4081
02:24:42,460 --> 02:24:44,360
guy in Bensonville, Illinois, who comes here with

4082
02:24:44,360 --> 02:24:47,840
211.30. The Midwest finally got its first

4083
02:24:47,840 --> 02:24:52,540
real snow, which means hot coffee season is

4084
02:24:52,540 --> 02:24:53,240
officially here.

4085
02:24:53,340 --> 02:24:55,140
But those of us who drink cold brew

4086
02:24:55,140 --> 02:24:56,360
year round, don't worry.

4087
02:24:56,360 --> 02:24:57,640
We've got you covered too.

4088
02:24:57,780 --> 02:25:00,980
Our site-wide Black Friday sale ends Monday,

4089
02:25:01,460 --> 02:25:03,480
and it's the best time all year to

4090
02:25:03,480 --> 02:25:03,980
stock up.

4091
02:25:05,020 --> 02:25:07,420
We got fresh roasted, we got fresh air

4092
02:25:07,420 --> 02:25:09,160
roasted coffee delivered right to your door.

4093
02:25:09,340 --> 02:25:13,460
No lines, no wrestling match over who gets

4094
02:25:13,460 --> 02:25:16,560
the last discounted big screen, just fantastic flavor

4095
02:25:16,560 --> 02:25:17,540
at best price.

4096
02:25:22,480 --> 02:25:26,340
Visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and give someone else or

4097
02:25:26,340 --> 02:25:28,280
yourself the gift of great coffee today.

4098
02:25:28,420 --> 02:25:30,600
Stay caffeinated, Eli, the coffee guy.

4099
02:25:30,840 --> 02:25:32,100
We need a rancher, man.

4100
02:25:32,140 --> 02:25:33,080
We need a rancher.

4101
02:25:33,640 --> 02:25:35,080
A rancher needs to come in.

4102
02:25:35,740 --> 02:25:37,220
Yeah, I would like to see a rancher.

4103
02:25:37,280 --> 02:25:37,540
Yeah.

4104
02:25:37,780 --> 02:25:39,400
I got a note from one of our

4105
02:25:39,400 --> 02:25:44,120
producers like, you know, I looked at getting

4106
02:25:44,120 --> 02:25:48,080
ground beef, you know, and it's twice as

4107
02:25:48,080 --> 02:25:49,700
expensive as Whole Foods.

4108
02:25:50,100 --> 02:25:53,460
And I went to beefmaps.com and I

4109
02:25:53,460 --> 02:25:56,420
said, well, here's one that's within driving distance

4110
02:25:56,420 --> 02:25:58,100
of where you are in Tampa, Florida.

4111
02:25:58,640 --> 02:26:01,500
And it's 10 pounds of ground beef for

4112
02:26:01,500 --> 02:26:02,260
$105.

4113
02:26:03,020 --> 02:26:06,160
I doubt that's twice as expensive as Whole

4114
02:26:06,160 --> 02:26:06,480
Foods.

4115
02:26:07,020 --> 02:26:07,860
She was amazed.

4116
02:26:08,500 --> 02:26:09,280
She was amazed.

4117
02:26:10,160 --> 02:26:12,440
And you can do a lot with ground

4118
02:26:12,440 --> 02:26:12,760
beef.

4119
02:26:13,320 --> 02:26:14,040
Consider that.

4120
02:26:14,460 --> 02:26:16,820
It is a good way to feed your

4121
02:26:16,820 --> 02:26:19,720
family healthy food and at a best price.

4122
02:26:20,600 --> 02:26:22,400
And with the end of our executive and

4123
02:26:22,400 --> 02:26:25,420
associate executive producers with Linda Lou Patkin, who

4124
02:26:25,420 --> 02:26:27,980
of course is in Lakewood, Colorado, and soon

4125
02:26:27,980 --> 02:26:29,720
to be in the No Agenda Go bag,

4126
02:26:29,800 --> 02:26:32,920
she wants jobs karma and says, as always,

4127
02:26:33,040 --> 02:26:35,140
for a competitive edge with a resume that

4128
02:26:35,140 --> 02:26:39,280
gets results, go to imagemakersinc.com for all

4129
02:26:39,280 --> 02:26:41,840
of your executive resume and job search needs.

4130
02:26:42,060 --> 02:26:44,020
That's imagemakersinc with a K.

4131
02:26:44,440 --> 02:26:46,860
And get to work with Linda Lou, Duchess

4132
02:26:46,860 --> 02:26:49,160
of Jobs and writer of winning resumes.

4133
02:26:49,160 --> 02:26:53,020
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4134
02:26:53,200 --> 02:26:54,700
Let's vote for jobs.

4135
02:26:55,480 --> 02:26:55,960
Karma.

4136
02:26:58,580 --> 02:26:59,840
Short and sweet today.

4137
02:27:00,380 --> 02:27:00,800
Short and sweet.

4138
02:27:00,800 --> 02:27:01,720
Yeah, very short.

4139
02:27:01,900 --> 02:27:03,240
For the Thanksgiving holiday.

4140
02:27:03,440 --> 02:27:03,940
Well, it's okay.

4141
02:27:04,400 --> 02:27:04,900
We work.

4142
02:27:04,960 --> 02:27:05,800
We work for peanuts.

4143
02:27:06,060 --> 02:27:06,660
It's what we do.

4144
02:27:07,040 --> 02:27:07,760
We're here for you.

4145
02:27:08,280 --> 02:27:08,980
Public service.

4146
02:27:09,240 --> 02:27:09,760
We love it.

4147
02:27:09,960 --> 02:27:12,640
We love being here on holidays whenever possible.

4148
02:27:13,560 --> 02:27:15,760
Congratulations and thank you to these executive and

4149
02:27:15,760 --> 02:27:18,700
associate executive producers for episode 1821.

4150
02:27:19,420 --> 02:27:21,580
You also can become a producer or an

4151
02:27:21,580 --> 02:27:23,740
executive producer, associate executive producer, and get one

4152
02:27:23,740 --> 02:27:25,220
of those coveted titles.

4153
02:27:25,380 --> 02:27:26,180
Be in the credits.

4154
02:27:26,680 --> 02:27:28,600
Go to noagendadonations.com.

4155
02:27:28,700 --> 02:27:30,600
You can also set up a recurring donation,

4156
02:27:30,720 --> 02:27:33,300
any amount, any frequency, and we'll thank the

4157
02:27:33,300 --> 02:27:34,100
rest of our supporters.

4158
02:27:34,300 --> 02:27:35,400
$50 and above in a minute.

4159
02:27:35,540 --> 02:27:39,880
Again, congratulations to these producers of episode 1821.

4160
02:27:40,120 --> 02:27:41,380
Our formula is this.

4161
02:27:42,180 --> 02:27:44,480
We go out, we hit people in the

4162
02:27:44,480 --> 02:27:44,680
mouth.

4163
02:27:45,600 --> 02:27:46,060
Shut up, you.

4164
02:27:49,820 --> 02:27:50,740
What up?

4165
02:27:51,900 --> 02:27:52,860
What up?

4166
02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:54,400
Shut up, slave.

4167
02:27:55,440 --> 02:27:57,220
Shut up, slave.

4168
02:28:04,400 --> 02:28:05,920
How about a TikTok clip?

4169
02:28:07,260 --> 02:28:07,900
Okay.

4170
02:28:08,420 --> 02:28:09,480
How can I say no?

4171
02:28:10,800 --> 02:28:11,300
I can't.

4172
02:28:11,560 --> 02:28:12,620
Two clips here.

4173
02:28:12,740 --> 02:28:13,260
I got the...

4174
02:28:14,000 --> 02:28:14,380
I got...

4175
02:28:14,380 --> 02:28:15,900
This is actually a black woman.

4176
02:28:16,540 --> 02:28:19,360
Although her voice is not that of what

4177
02:28:19,360 --> 02:28:20,900
you'd think is black, but this is a

4178
02:28:20,900 --> 02:28:23,420
woman making a good point about being cis.

4179
02:28:23,980 --> 02:28:24,360
Cis?

4180
02:28:25,080 --> 02:28:26,800
Yes, like a cisgender.

4181
02:28:27,040 --> 02:28:27,420
I'm cisgender.

4182
02:28:28,360 --> 02:28:28,840
Okay.

4183
02:28:29,200 --> 02:28:29,400
Okay.

4184
02:28:29,600 --> 02:28:30,120
Yes, cis.

4185
02:28:30,360 --> 02:28:31,380
Not a cis woman.

4186
02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:32,700
I'm a woman.

4187
02:28:32,880 --> 02:28:33,240
Yes.

4188
02:28:33,340 --> 02:28:35,360
You say trans women are women, but then

4189
02:28:35,360 --> 02:28:37,760
women become cis women as if we're a

4190
02:28:37,760 --> 02:28:39,540
subtype of our own sex.

4191
02:28:39,840 --> 02:28:40,200
That's right.

4192
02:28:40,280 --> 02:28:42,540
And then you have the audacity to drag

4193
02:28:42,540 --> 02:28:45,260
the very women that you're trying to emulate.

4194
02:28:45,900 --> 02:28:50,980
How is that not the most misogynistic, patriarchal,

4195
02:28:50,980 --> 02:28:52,640
logic imaginable?

4196
02:28:53,140 --> 02:28:55,060
How is it that my identity suddenly just

4197
02:28:55,060 --> 02:28:55,700
needs a prefix?

4198
02:28:56,420 --> 02:28:58,160
Why do women have to shift their language,

4199
02:28:58,340 --> 02:29:01,440
their boundaries, their spaces so everyone else can

4200
02:29:01,440 --> 02:29:04,120
feel comfortable except actual woman?

4201
02:29:04,920 --> 02:29:06,900
If a woman says, hey, I'm not comfortable

4202
02:29:06,900 --> 02:29:09,260
with this, suddenly she's the problem?

4203
02:29:09,960 --> 02:29:12,340
I don't need a new label to describe

4204
02:29:12,340 --> 02:29:13,940
what I've always been.

4205
02:29:15,140 --> 02:29:15,940
Like, like.

4206
02:29:16,580 --> 02:29:17,340
Right on, Cisa.

4207
02:29:17,620 --> 02:29:17,880
Great.

4208
02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:18,560
I'm going to comment.

4209
02:29:19,780 --> 02:29:20,680
You're so good.

4210
02:29:21,000 --> 02:29:21,220
Yeah.

4211
02:29:21,380 --> 02:29:22,760
Great, great channel you've got.

4212
02:29:22,980 --> 02:29:23,480
Great TikTok.

4213
02:29:23,700 --> 02:29:24,920
Oh, you're a good TikToker.

4214
02:29:25,060 --> 02:29:25,260
Yeah.

4215
02:29:25,380 --> 02:29:26,400
You made me feel good.

4216
02:29:26,940 --> 02:29:27,220
Good performance.

4217
02:29:27,220 --> 02:29:28,480
Well, then we take it to the other

4218
02:29:28,480 --> 02:29:28,960
extreme.

4219
02:29:29,160 --> 02:29:30,780
Oh, are we going to play two TikTok

4220
02:29:30,780 --> 02:29:31,000
clips?

4221
02:29:31,020 --> 02:29:31,480
Oh, yeah.

4222
02:29:31,680 --> 02:29:32,800
Here's the other extreme.

4223
02:29:32,920 --> 02:29:35,200
This is the idiot billionaires.

4224
02:29:35,580 --> 02:29:36,460
I have an idea.

4225
02:29:36,900 --> 02:29:41,480
How about some of our billionaires get together

4226
02:29:41,480 --> 02:29:45,560
and offer to buy back assault weapons or

4227
02:29:45,560 --> 02:29:48,480
semi-automatic weapons?

4228
02:29:49,020 --> 02:29:52,960
And since they have so much money, they

4229
02:29:52,960 --> 02:29:55,420
can give the money to the gun owners

4230
02:29:55,420 --> 02:29:57,920
and then melt down the weapons.

4231
02:29:58,920 --> 02:30:00,520
I don't know if you've noticed a lot

4232
02:30:00,520 --> 02:30:03,780
of the billionaires that were very tired of

4233
02:30:03,780 --> 02:30:05,660
hearing about, you know, they don't really do

4234
02:30:05,660 --> 02:30:07,680
much for philanthropy.

4235
02:30:07,960 --> 02:30:09,720
They just like hoard their wealth.

4236
02:30:10,220 --> 02:30:10,320
Oh, yeah.

4237
02:30:10,320 --> 02:30:12,660
Maybe this would be a good way for

4238
02:30:12,660 --> 02:30:17,980
them to solve a problem which leads to

4239
02:30:17,980 --> 02:30:20,340
the number one cause of death in children,

4240
02:30:20,540 --> 02:30:22,320
which, of course, is gun violence.

4241
02:30:23,820 --> 02:30:25,540
No, I think vocal fry is the number

4242
02:30:25,540 --> 02:30:27,400
one cause of death amongst podcasters.

4243
02:30:27,900 --> 02:30:30,760
There is no billionaire, I know a few,

4244
02:30:31,340 --> 02:30:33,600
who hoard their money at all.

4245
02:30:33,800 --> 02:30:35,040
No, no, absolutely not.

4246
02:30:35,160 --> 02:30:37,180
But you said it, sister.

4247
02:30:37,280 --> 02:30:37,820
That's great.

4248
02:30:40,680 --> 02:30:42,080
Nice, nice performance.

4249
02:30:42,980 --> 02:30:45,320
Let's do a little climate change news.

4250
02:30:45,700 --> 02:30:47,440
In this case, EVs.

4251
02:30:49,160 --> 02:30:52,460
2026 is the end of the government subsidies

4252
02:30:52,460 --> 02:30:53,960
for electric vehicles.

4253
02:30:55,460 --> 02:30:57,900
The EV market says it's going to be

4254
02:30:57,900 --> 02:30:58,460
great.

4255
02:30:59,380 --> 02:31:01,360
Now, I'm thinking, yeah, if you want a

4256
02:31:01,360 --> 02:31:04,560
cheap car with a dead battery, listen to

4257
02:31:04,560 --> 02:31:07,360
these prices, what happens in just two years

4258
02:31:07,360 --> 02:31:09,580
to the value of your electric vehicle.

4259
02:31:10,260 --> 02:31:12,100
As the clock ticked on the expiration of

4260
02:31:12,100 --> 02:31:14,580
EV tax credits in September, there was a

4261
02:31:14,580 --> 02:31:16,340
wave of last minute buyers.

4262
02:31:17,100 --> 02:31:19,240
Since then, new electric auto sales across the

4263
02:31:19,240 --> 02:31:23,100
board have plummeted nearly 50% last month.

4264
02:31:23,400 --> 02:31:25,380
I think in the next probably six months,

4265
02:31:25,460 --> 02:31:28,840
the market will get stabilized and really trying

4266
02:31:28,840 --> 02:31:31,220
to find that balance of what's that natural

4267
02:31:31,220 --> 02:31:32,480
demand for EVs.

4268
02:31:32,700 --> 02:31:35,160
Stephanie Valdez-Streete is a director for Cox

4269
02:31:35,160 --> 02:31:38,180
Automotive, which provides marketing data for the automotive

4270
02:31:38,180 --> 02:31:38,800
industry.

4271
02:31:38,800 --> 02:31:41,160
I think the used EV market is the

4272
02:31:41,160 --> 02:31:41,960
bright star.

4273
02:31:42,280 --> 02:31:44,600
For example, new Rivian trucks can cost north

4274
02:31:44,600 --> 02:31:46,740
of $100,000, but you can get a

4275
02:31:46,740 --> 02:31:48,720
used one for south of 60 grand.

4276
02:31:49,340 --> 02:31:51,920
A new Tesla Model Y averages around $50

4277
02:31:51,920 --> 02:31:55,240
,000, but 2024s can be found for around

4278
02:31:55,240 --> 02:31:56,120
30,000.

4279
02:31:57,000 --> 02:31:59,940
She says currently EVs only account for about

4280
02:31:59,940 --> 02:32:02,780
2.5% of the overall used vehicle

4281
02:32:02,780 --> 02:32:03,540
sales market.

4282
02:32:03,780 --> 02:32:07,300
But she says since 2023, 1.1 million

4283
02:32:07,300 --> 02:32:10,080
EVs have been leased and many will expire

4284
02:32:10,080 --> 02:32:10,640
soon.

4285
02:32:11,240 --> 02:32:14,080
That surge of expiring leases is bringing used

4286
02:32:14,080 --> 02:32:17,000
prices down and allowing for big bargains.

4287
02:32:17,420 --> 02:32:19,060
I think it's gonna be a huge opportunity

4288
02:32:19,060 --> 02:32:21,460
and huge growth in the next few years.

4289
02:32:21,740 --> 02:32:24,260
Valdez-Streete says wider EV adoption has been

4290
02:32:24,260 --> 02:32:27,780
hindered by price, battery concerns and trepidation about

4291
02:32:27,780 --> 02:32:29,840
an insufficient charging infrastructure.

4292
02:32:30,340 --> 02:32:32,960
But she stresses batteries are really good and

4293
02:32:32,960 --> 02:32:34,280
warranties are robust.

4294
02:32:34,540 --> 02:32:34,900
Oh, they're good.

4295
02:32:34,980 --> 02:32:38,100
That technology will only improve and likely bring

4296
02:32:38,100 --> 02:32:40,800
costs down even further, especially in the new

4297
02:32:40,800 --> 02:32:41,960
car sales markets.

4298
02:32:42,400 --> 02:32:44,300
And so the next- What, what, what,

4299
02:32:44,300 --> 02:32:45,020
what, what?

4300
02:32:46,300 --> 02:32:47,980
What was the logic there?

4301
02:32:49,120 --> 02:32:51,660
That things have resale value that goes down

4302
02:32:51,660 --> 02:32:54,480
drastically, but somehow it's not going, it's-

4303
02:32:54,480 --> 02:32:55,100
It's gonna be better.

4304
02:32:55,920 --> 02:32:57,280
It's gonna be better?

4305
02:32:57,380 --> 02:32:58,040
It's gonna be better.

4306
02:32:58,100 --> 02:32:58,700
Here's that tale.

4307
02:32:58,820 --> 02:33:01,960
That technology will only improve and likely bring

4308
02:33:01,960 --> 02:33:04,640
costs down even further, especially in the new

4309
02:33:04,640 --> 02:33:05,800
car sales markets.

4310
02:33:05,800 --> 02:33:08,960
And so the next 27, 2028, we're gonna

4311
02:33:08,960 --> 02:33:11,140
see some more affordable EVs hit the market.

4312
02:33:11,640 --> 02:33:11,780
Yeah.

4313
02:33:12,160 --> 02:33:13,640
Everyone's gonna be dumping these things.

4314
02:33:13,640 --> 02:33:14,380
Yeah, from BYD.

4315
02:33:14,720 --> 02:33:17,600
Yeah, well, can they- Some of those

4316
02:33:17,600 --> 02:33:21,640
BYD cars look fantastic, but they're made like

4317
02:33:21,640 --> 02:33:22,020
crap.

4318
02:33:22,160 --> 02:33:23,280
They're glued together.

4319
02:33:24,340 --> 02:33:27,120
The BYD car is inexpensive.

4320
02:33:27,580 --> 02:33:27,880
Yes.

4321
02:33:27,940 --> 02:33:29,800
And yeah, it probably doesn't hold up, or

4322
02:33:29,800 --> 02:33:31,440
maybe it does, but they've got some of

4323
02:33:31,440 --> 02:33:33,180
the fanciest cars Yeah.

4324
02:33:33,720 --> 02:33:34,880
Anybody owns.

4325
02:33:34,880 --> 02:33:35,920
Are you gonna buy one?

4326
02:33:36,540 --> 02:33:37,940
No, I miss electric.

4327
02:33:39,620 --> 02:33:40,500
The battery.

4328
02:33:40,660 --> 02:33:42,680
You're basically buying a dead battery.

4329
02:33:43,980 --> 02:33:45,120
That's the problem.

4330
02:33:45,400 --> 02:33:46,160
The battery.

4331
02:33:46,620 --> 02:33:48,240
And you have to lug the battery around.

4332
02:33:48,320 --> 02:33:49,480
It's not like a gasoline car.

4333
02:33:49,580 --> 02:33:52,080
As it drives around, it gets lighter and

4334
02:33:52,080 --> 02:33:52,320
lighter.

4335
02:33:52,620 --> 02:33:53,080
It gets lighter.

4336
02:33:53,400 --> 02:33:54,520
You know what is cool though?

4337
02:33:55,240 --> 02:33:57,980
They're finally figuring out for all of-

4338
02:33:57,980 --> 02:34:00,820
Because every day, someone sends me an email.

4339
02:34:01,100 --> 02:34:01,800
Look at this.

4340
02:34:01,860 --> 02:34:03,820
The flying car is finally here.

4341
02:34:03,820 --> 02:34:04,980
I'm like, oh, that looks cool.

4342
02:34:05,240 --> 02:34:06,380
There's always a flying car.

4343
02:34:06,520 --> 02:34:08,300
You look at it and it's like range.

4344
02:34:09,140 --> 02:34:11,960
You can fly for 20 minutes at 50

4345
02:34:11,960 --> 02:34:13,160
miles an hour.

4346
02:34:13,340 --> 02:34:13,700
Okay.

4347
02:34:13,720 --> 02:34:15,880
So I can't get to Austin with that.

4348
02:34:16,440 --> 02:34:18,160
But there's a couple of them now.

4349
02:34:18,400 --> 02:34:19,360
Let alone get back.

4350
02:34:19,500 --> 02:34:21,300
The couple of them now are figuring out

4351
02:34:21,300 --> 02:34:22,260
the hybrid model.

4352
02:34:22,920 --> 02:34:28,800
We are using electric motors for propellers and

4353
02:34:28,800 --> 02:34:31,300
actually placing them in front of a wing.

4354
02:34:31,300 --> 02:34:34,200
So you're blowing back air.

4355
02:34:34,460 --> 02:34:36,640
So these things can take off like five

4356
02:34:36,640 --> 02:34:36,940
feet.

4357
02:34:37,800 --> 02:34:39,620
And then they have a little jet engine

4358
02:34:39,620 --> 02:34:42,460
in it or something that runs similar.

4359
02:34:42,740 --> 02:34:43,540
That sounds cheap.

4360
02:34:44,240 --> 02:34:45,860
No, it's very small.

4361
02:34:45,980 --> 02:34:47,580
All it has to do is just send

4362
02:34:47,580 --> 02:34:51,020
electricity to the battery and then from the

4363
02:34:51,020 --> 02:34:53,320
battery into the propellers.

4364
02:34:53,820 --> 02:34:57,320
These things, they're talking about two hours at

4365
02:34:57,320 --> 02:34:59,040
130 miles an hour.

4366
02:34:59,640 --> 02:35:00,980
So now you're talking.

4367
02:35:01,440 --> 02:35:05,200
That's got to go for 150 or higher.

4368
02:35:05,360 --> 02:35:06,120
Oh no, no, no.

4369
02:35:06,220 --> 02:35:09,340
You know, no, you can invest now.

4370
02:35:09,760 --> 02:35:10,560
Or 250.

4371
02:35:11,020 --> 02:35:12,040
Pre-order now.

4372
02:35:12,960 --> 02:35:13,440
Yeah, sure.

4373
02:35:13,720 --> 02:35:14,740
Pre-order and invest.

4374
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:16,920
I think maybe in five years we might,

4375
02:35:17,120 --> 02:35:19,100
because it's absolutely true.

4376
02:35:19,200 --> 02:35:21,520
The electric motors, there's a lot, you know,

4377
02:35:21,540 --> 02:35:23,620
the whole concept of it is good.

4378
02:35:23,680 --> 02:35:25,000
It's just, we don't have any batteries.

4379
02:35:25,440 --> 02:35:27,500
So as long as you throw in some

4380
02:35:27,500 --> 02:35:31,580
kind of energy source that runs on, you

4381
02:35:31,580 --> 02:35:36,980
know, gasoline, jet fuel, anything like that.

4382
02:35:37,140 --> 02:35:38,520
This is one guy though, he made a,

4383
02:35:38,760 --> 02:35:39,980
it's like a flying egg.

4384
02:35:40,080 --> 02:35:40,880
It's like a pod.

4385
02:35:42,320 --> 02:35:44,000
And it was going to go for like

4386
02:35:44,000 --> 02:35:45,960
a little over a hundred thousand dollars.

4387
02:35:46,600 --> 02:35:48,480
And it's just a one seater and has

4388
02:35:48,480 --> 02:35:49,960
all these propellers on top.

4389
02:35:50,100 --> 02:35:52,360
And it's supposed to be able to go,

4390
02:35:52,560 --> 02:35:55,200
I think they were saying radius a hundred

4391
02:35:55,200 --> 02:35:55,680
miles.

4392
02:35:55,780 --> 02:35:57,100
I'm like, well, that's kind of cool.

4393
02:35:57,780 --> 02:35:59,740
And the guy was going to fly over

4394
02:35:59,740 --> 02:36:02,860
the English channel from England to France, crashed

4395
02:36:02,860 --> 02:36:03,500
in the water.

4396
02:36:04,220 --> 02:36:06,080
The engines quit.

4397
02:36:06,320 --> 02:36:07,880
So he cracked up.

4398
02:36:08,020 --> 02:36:08,420
Yes.

4399
02:36:09,160 --> 02:36:10,320
Yes, there it is.

4400
02:36:10,340 --> 02:36:11,200
He cracked up.

4401
02:36:11,320 --> 02:36:11,760
Exactly.

4402
02:36:13,540 --> 02:36:16,700
I only have one more sequence here, which

4403
02:36:16,700 --> 02:36:18,840
is there's something up here.

4404
02:36:21,200 --> 02:36:24,860
Sources inside the Pentagon are reporting something just

4405
02:36:24,860 --> 02:36:25,360
horrible.

4406
02:36:25,900 --> 02:36:29,200
This is an attack on our Secretary of

4407
02:36:29,200 --> 02:36:32,860
War, Hegseth, and also another setup for the

4408
02:36:32,860 --> 02:36:33,300
impeachment.

4409
02:36:33,640 --> 02:36:36,040
What happened, John, this was the first strike

4410
02:36:36,040 --> 02:36:39,080
on what they say were suspected drug cartels

4411
02:36:39,080 --> 02:36:41,960
or drug dealers or people ferrying drugs to

4412
02:36:41,960 --> 02:36:42,800
the United States.

4413
02:36:43,040 --> 02:36:44,220
There was a first strike.

4414
02:36:44,600 --> 02:36:46,520
Most of the people on board that boat

4415
02:36:46,520 --> 02:36:47,240
were killed.

4416
02:36:47,560 --> 02:36:49,300
And then there was a second strike.

4417
02:36:49,360 --> 02:36:52,540
The administration released the footage of that first

4418
02:36:52,540 --> 02:36:55,320
strike, but never, as The Post reported, that

4419
02:36:55,320 --> 02:36:56,420
second strike.

4420
02:36:56,460 --> 02:36:59,040
And it's that second strike, they say, that

4421
02:36:59,040 --> 02:37:03,400
Secretary Pete Hegseth said, a spoken directive to

4422
02:37:03,400 --> 02:37:04,780
kill everybody.

4423
02:37:05,260 --> 02:37:08,460
Now, the special operations commander, according to The

4424
02:37:08,460 --> 02:37:12,140
Post, ordered that second strike based on direction

4425
02:37:12,140 --> 02:37:13,200
from Pete Hegseth.

4426
02:37:13,340 --> 02:37:16,660
But the questions are, did Pete Hegseth in

4427
02:37:16,660 --> 02:37:18,600
the moment, in real time, as they were

4428
02:37:18,600 --> 02:37:20,860
watching, say, go back and kill those survivors?

4429
02:37:21,240 --> 02:37:23,580
Because when you look at it, is that

4430
02:37:23,580 --> 02:37:24,660
an imminent threat?

4431
02:37:24,900 --> 02:37:27,940
Even if it's the legal justification the administration

4432
02:37:27,940 --> 02:37:31,900
is talking about, did those two men clinging

4433
02:37:31,900 --> 02:37:34,500
to the side of the boat pose an

4434
02:37:34,500 --> 02:37:35,180
imminent threat?

4435
02:37:35,220 --> 02:37:36,320
And that is the question.

4436
02:37:36,800 --> 02:37:38,460
And did it go back up the chain

4437
02:37:38,460 --> 02:37:38,940
of command?

4438
02:37:39,040 --> 02:37:41,360
Did the special operations commander say, wait, we

4439
02:37:41,360 --> 02:37:43,720
need the lawyers, we need somebody to look

4440
02:37:43,720 --> 02:37:44,000
at that?

4441
02:37:44,280 --> 02:37:45,140
Those are the questions.

4442
02:37:45,220 --> 02:37:48,900
Because the allegation here is that it violates

4443
02:37:48,900 --> 02:37:52,200
the rules of war to attack people that

4444
02:37:52,200 --> 02:37:53,400
are not an imminent threat.

4445
02:37:53,420 --> 02:37:57,360
Exactly, and the protocol was later changed because

4446
02:37:57,360 --> 02:38:00,320
we have since tried to rescue survivors.

4447
02:38:00,380 --> 02:38:02,180
So that's another question they'll be asking.

4448
02:38:02,280 --> 02:38:04,300
And it's important to point out that, according

4449
02:38:04,300 --> 02:38:06,760
to The Post story, Hegseth issued that order

4450
02:38:06,760 --> 02:38:10,560
before the first strike, say, kill everybody, and

4451
02:38:10,560 --> 02:38:11,420
the commander.

4452
02:38:12,000 --> 02:38:15,300
And that is why the question is, did

4453
02:38:15,300 --> 02:38:16,760
he go back to Pete Hegseth?

4454
02:38:16,780 --> 02:38:18,780
Because according to The Post, they were all

4455
02:38:18,780 --> 02:38:20,200
watching this in real time.

4456
02:38:20,200 --> 02:38:23,920
Where were you, Jonathan Karl?

4457
02:38:24,640 --> 02:38:28,660
Where were you when we were literally double

4458
02:38:28,660 --> 02:38:34,120
tapping Iraqis from helicopters on video released by

4459
02:38:34,120 --> 02:38:35,250
Snowden and...

4460
02:38:36,060 --> 02:38:37,000
Assange.

4461
02:38:37,920 --> 02:38:42,980
And Assange and the man who became a

4462
02:38:42,980 --> 02:38:43,220
woman.

4463
02:38:44,020 --> 02:38:45,060
What was his name?

4464
02:38:45,500 --> 02:38:46,660
Yeah, the woman guy.

4465
02:38:47,980 --> 02:38:50,820
Yes, from now known as that woman guy.

4466
02:38:51,500 --> 02:38:54,020
Where were you when we had actual evidence

4467
02:38:54,020 --> 02:38:54,840
of that happening?

4468
02:38:54,900 --> 02:38:56,500
You can probably still find that on YouTube.

4469
02:38:56,780 --> 02:38:57,580
Where were you then?

4470
02:38:58,720 --> 02:38:59,780
Yeah, good question.

4471
02:39:00,240 --> 02:39:01,140
Because there were...

4472
02:39:01,140 --> 02:39:04,540
And the cavalier chat from the helicopter, he

4473
02:39:04,540 --> 02:39:06,600
goes, hey, there's the guys, the journalists, let's

4474
02:39:06,600 --> 02:39:07,080
get him.

4475
02:39:07,220 --> 02:39:08,640
Yeah, Chelsea Manning, thank you.

4476
02:39:09,120 --> 02:39:11,320
They gunned him down from the sky from

4477
02:39:11,320 --> 02:39:11,920
a distance.

4478
02:39:12,100 --> 02:39:13,620
The man guy known as Chelsea Manning.

4479
02:39:13,620 --> 02:39:14,960
And that's not even talking about the double

4480
02:39:14,960 --> 02:39:17,540
taps, which were also like killing innocents.

4481
02:39:17,720 --> 02:39:19,920
Not only killing innocents, but people who came

4482
02:39:19,920 --> 02:39:20,700
to their rescue.

4483
02:39:21,220 --> 02:39:22,660
That's not mentioned either.

4484
02:39:23,020 --> 02:39:23,120
Nope.

4485
02:39:23,320 --> 02:39:25,400
And by the way, where's the tape of

4486
02:39:25,400 --> 02:39:26,840
Hegseth saying this or doing?

4487
02:39:27,220 --> 02:39:28,840
There's no evidence.

4488
02:39:29,360 --> 02:39:31,160
We have evidence of the other stuff.

4489
02:39:31,360 --> 02:39:32,020
We have sources.

4490
02:39:32,360 --> 02:39:35,760
Sources inside the Pentagon from the Washington Post

4491
02:39:35,760 --> 02:39:36,400
here, CBS.

4492
02:39:36,860 --> 02:39:39,740
This new Washington Post report that says that

4493
02:39:39,740 --> 02:39:43,280
Secretary Hegseth called for everyone aboard the first

4494
02:39:43,280 --> 02:39:45,900
suspected drug boat that was targeted to be

4495
02:39:45,900 --> 02:39:46,260
killed.

4496
02:39:46,820 --> 02:39:49,760
When two people survived, the military went back

4497
02:39:49,760 --> 02:39:52,180
in reportedly with a follow on strike.

4498
02:39:52,500 --> 02:39:54,860
What questions do you have for the Pentagon

4499
02:39:54,860 --> 02:39:56,280
about that situation?

4500
02:39:57,840 --> 02:40:00,420
Well, first, if that reporting is true, it's

4501
02:40:00,420 --> 02:40:03,260
a clear violation of the DOD's own laws

4502
02:40:03,260 --> 02:40:07,020
of war, as well as international laws about

4503
02:40:07,020 --> 02:40:08,800
the way you treat people who are in

4504
02:40:08,800 --> 02:40:09,940
that circumstance.

4505
02:40:10,280 --> 02:40:12,500
And so this rises to the level of

4506
02:40:12,500 --> 02:40:13,300
a war crime.

4507
02:40:13,860 --> 02:40:14,600
If it's true.

4508
02:40:14,760 --> 02:40:16,980
And the questions that we've been asking for

4509
02:40:16,980 --> 02:40:20,200
months are give us the evidence that the

4510
02:40:20,200 --> 02:40:22,580
folks on board were really narco traffickers.

4511
02:40:22,760 --> 02:40:25,380
In one instance, there were two survivors, one

4512
02:40:25,380 --> 02:40:27,720
Colombian, one Ecuadorian in a different strike.

4513
02:40:27,940 --> 02:40:31,000
Instead of arresting them and prosecuting them, the

4514
02:40:31,000 --> 02:40:32,700
US picked them up and returned them to

4515
02:40:32,700 --> 02:40:35,460
their countries of origin where they were released.

4516
02:40:35,520 --> 02:40:38,820
So if they were narco traffickers, why would

4517
02:40:38,820 --> 02:40:39,340
we do that?

4518
02:40:39,400 --> 02:40:40,740
We need more evidence about that.

4519
02:40:40,800 --> 02:40:44,060
And we definitely need the administration to finally

4520
02:40:44,060 --> 02:40:47,380
answer the question of why strike rather than

4521
02:40:47,380 --> 02:40:47,940
interdict.

4522
02:40:48,040 --> 02:40:49,980
If you know where the ships are, you

4523
02:40:49,980 --> 02:40:50,580
can interdict.

4524
02:40:50,680 --> 02:40:52,400
And when you do, you get evidence, you

4525
02:40:52,400 --> 02:40:55,400
get individuals, you can squeeze them to give

4526
02:40:55,400 --> 02:40:57,660
testimony against their higher ups.

4527
02:40:57,760 --> 02:41:00,100
You get evidence with the drug seizures.

4528
02:41:00,460 --> 02:41:02,580
And finally, the other question that my colleagues

4529
02:41:02,580 --> 02:41:04,280
and I are deeply worried about is the

4530
02:41:04,280 --> 02:41:06,700
entire legal rationale for these strikes.

4531
02:41:06,860 --> 02:41:09,600
We had to pry with a crowbar after

4532
02:41:09,600 --> 02:41:11,980
weeks and weeks out of the administration, the

4533
02:41:11,980 --> 02:41:15,560
supposed legal rationale for the strikes in international

4534
02:41:15,560 --> 02:41:16,080
waters.

4535
02:41:16,620 --> 02:41:19,200
It was very shoddy because it's classified.

4536
02:41:19,500 --> 02:41:21,040
I can't tell you what's in it, but

4537
02:41:21,040 --> 02:41:23,580
I can tell you it was not at

4538
02:41:23,580 --> 02:41:26,440
all persuasive that these are- Wait a

4539
02:41:26,440 --> 02:41:26,720
minute.

4540
02:41:27,240 --> 02:41:29,600
About that Senator Tim Kaine.

4541
02:41:29,680 --> 02:41:31,720
OK, so he has access to the actions.

4542
02:41:32,100 --> 02:41:34,300
And so together with a whole series of

4543
02:41:34,300 --> 02:41:36,900
things, the early retirement of the head of

4544
02:41:36,900 --> 02:41:39,640
South Com, the news that the South Com's

4545
02:41:39,640 --> 02:41:42,560
lead attorney said these strikes were not lawful.

4546
02:41:42,680 --> 02:41:45,180
The decision of allies like the UK to

4547
02:41:45,180 --> 02:41:48,280
stop sharing intelligence with the United States in

4548
02:41:48,280 --> 02:41:50,840
this area because they believe the strikes are

4549
02:41:50,840 --> 02:41:51,320
illegal.

4550
02:41:51,440 --> 02:41:53,680
It's time for Congress to rein in a

4551
02:41:53,680 --> 02:41:55,760
president who is deciding to wage war on

4552
02:41:55,760 --> 02:41:57,620
his own say so, which is not what

4553
02:41:57,620 --> 02:41:59,160
the Constitution allows.

4554
02:41:59,600 --> 02:42:01,460
And of course, they hate that they're blowing

4555
02:42:01,460 --> 02:42:04,500
up the drugs and possibly money to be

4556
02:42:04,500 --> 02:42:05,020
laundered.

4557
02:42:05,260 --> 02:42:08,100
They don't like any of that at all.

4558
02:42:08,500 --> 02:42:09,060
They continue.

4559
02:42:09,180 --> 02:42:11,660
On a related note, President Trump just announced

4560
02:42:11,660 --> 02:42:14,380
this weekend that he plans to pardon-

4561
02:42:14,380 --> 02:42:15,340
Who cares?

4562
02:42:16,540 --> 02:42:18,300
I do have- I have a Venezuelan

4563
02:42:18,300 --> 02:42:19,560
clip in the same vein.

4564
02:42:19,660 --> 02:42:22,540
I was going to play Kristi Noem's response

4565
02:42:22,540 --> 02:42:24,920
to the question about the double tap from

4566
02:42:24,920 --> 02:42:25,380
Hegseth.

4567
02:42:25,440 --> 02:42:25,900
Here it is.

4568
02:42:25,960 --> 02:42:28,660
There's a Washington Post report that one of

4569
02:42:28,660 --> 02:42:32,040
those Venezuelan boats that was attacked by a

4570
02:42:32,040 --> 02:42:37,020
US missile, alleged drug boats, that a second

4571
02:42:37,020 --> 02:42:39,840
missile was launched because there have been two

4572
02:42:39,840 --> 02:42:42,700
survivors clinging to the wreckage of the boat.

4573
02:42:44,100 --> 02:42:46,000
I know this was obviously carried out by

4574
02:42:46,000 --> 02:42:48,560
the Defense Department, but is the administration concerned

4575
02:42:48,560 --> 02:42:52,220
here that that may have violated the laws

4576
02:42:52,220 --> 02:42:52,640
of war?

4577
02:42:52,740 --> 02:42:54,620
I mean, was there an imminent threat-

4578
02:42:54,620 --> 02:42:54,720
Laws of war.

4579
02:42:55,200 --> 02:42:57,820
By those people that were clinging to the

4580
02:42:57,820 --> 02:42:59,140
wreckage of a boat that had already been

4581
02:42:59,140 --> 02:42:59,460
struck?

4582
02:43:00,180 --> 02:43:02,080
Is there a wiki page for the laws

4583
02:43:02,080 --> 02:43:02,540
of war?

4584
02:43:02,660 --> 02:43:03,640
I'll have to look that up.

4585
02:43:03,700 --> 02:43:04,680
Let's see where I can find that.

4586
02:43:04,680 --> 02:43:05,640
Yes, you can find it.

4587
02:43:06,860 --> 02:43:07,880
Yeah, you should know this.

4588
02:43:08,180 --> 02:43:10,780
That entire story is based on anonymous sources.

4589
02:43:11,120 --> 02:43:13,920
So we see the press, and we see

4590
02:43:13,920 --> 02:43:16,740
that reg use anonymous sources all the time

4591
02:43:16,740 --> 02:43:18,140
to print things that aren't true, that are

4592
02:43:18,140 --> 02:43:21,060
lies, that are completely not based in reality.

4593
02:43:21,280 --> 02:43:25,020
So I would not put any credibility to

4594
02:43:25,020 --> 02:43:27,780
that story, to what was said.

4595
02:43:28,120 --> 02:43:30,120
I have full faith and trust in this

4596
02:43:30,120 --> 02:43:31,960
president and in this government to do the

4597
02:43:31,960 --> 02:43:33,780
right thing to keep the American people safe.

4598
02:43:34,120 --> 02:43:36,700
And I'm so grateful at the amount of

4599
02:43:36,700 --> 02:43:38,520
work that has been done to stop those

4600
02:43:38,520 --> 02:43:40,340
deadly drugs from getting into our country.

4601
02:43:40,860 --> 02:43:43,640
Just in several offloads that we've been able

4602
02:43:43,640 --> 02:43:45,640
to interdict and to stop and to blow

4603
02:43:45,640 --> 02:43:47,880
up in the Caribbean Sea, it's been enough

4604
02:43:47,880 --> 02:43:50,300
to save over 45 million people.

4605
02:43:50,820 --> 02:43:53,940
45 million lethal doses were completely destroyed.

4606
02:43:54,200 --> 02:43:55,860
That people will now be safer because of

4607
02:43:55,860 --> 02:43:57,100
the work that the Department of War and

4608
02:43:57,100 --> 02:43:58,000
this president have done.

4609
02:43:58,640 --> 02:43:59,940
OK, thanks, Christy.

4610
02:44:00,560 --> 02:44:03,000
There is no, there is a wiki page

4611
02:44:03,000 --> 02:44:06,080
for law of war, part of the international

4612
02:44:06,080 --> 02:44:09,080
law that regulates the conditions for initiating war

4613
02:44:09,080 --> 02:44:10,840
and the conduct of hostilities.

4614
02:44:11,940 --> 02:44:15,120
Laws of war define sovereignty and nationhood, states

4615
02:44:15,120 --> 02:44:18,280
and territories, occupation, other critical terms of law,

4616
02:44:18,640 --> 02:44:19,100
de jure.

4617
02:44:21,760 --> 02:44:23,800
Declarations, acceptance of sovereignty.

4618
02:44:24,240 --> 02:44:25,880
You mean like within the boundaries of a

4619
02:44:25,880 --> 02:44:30,360
sovereign nation where the Obama administration kept blowing

4620
02:44:30,360 --> 02:44:32,940
things up within Pakistan and Afghanistan?

4621
02:44:33,360 --> 02:44:33,800
Yes.

4622
02:44:33,920 --> 02:44:35,760
Iraq, I think was another place.

4623
02:44:35,760 --> 02:44:36,880
Yes, that's what I mean.

4624
02:44:37,480 --> 02:44:38,460
That's exactly what I mean.

4625
02:44:38,780 --> 02:44:41,780
Interesting that nobody even brings that up.

4626
02:44:41,900 --> 02:44:44,060
I had the one little Venezuela rap clip.

4627
02:44:44,220 --> 02:44:44,900
It's an NPR.

4628
02:44:45,100 --> 02:44:46,920
Good to go.

4629
02:44:47,340 --> 02:44:50,740
After weeks of escalating tensions, President Trump increased

4630
02:44:50,740 --> 02:44:53,620
pressure on Venezuela today by declaring that the

4631
02:44:53,620 --> 02:44:56,580
nation's airspace should be considered closed, even though

4632
02:44:56,580 --> 02:44:58,440
he doesn't have the legal authority to close

4633
02:44:58,440 --> 02:44:58,600
it.

4634
02:44:59,100 --> 02:45:01,600
With a substantial U.S. military buildup in

4635
02:45:01,600 --> 02:45:04,580
the region, today's announcement fuels speculation about what's

4636
02:45:04,580 --> 02:45:04,900
next.

4637
02:45:04,900 --> 02:45:07,400
Earlier this week, Mr. Trump said his war

4638
02:45:07,400 --> 02:45:09,760
on drug smuggling would soon enter a new

4639
02:45:09,760 --> 02:45:10,360
phase.

4640
02:45:10,780 --> 02:45:13,440
In recent weeks, you've been working to deter

4641
02:45:13,440 --> 02:45:15,960
Venezuelan drug traffickers, of which there are many,

4642
02:45:16,300 --> 02:45:18,980
and we'll be starting to stop them by

4643
02:45:18,980 --> 02:45:19,720
land also.

4644
02:45:20,260 --> 02:45:23,060
The land is easier, but that's going to

4645
02:45:23,060 --> 02:45:23,780
start very soon.

4646
02:45:23,880 --> 02:45:26,760
We'd warn them, stop sending poison to our

4647
02:45:26,760 --> 02:45:27,080
country.

4648
02:45:27,220 --> 02:45:29,460
Since September, U.S. forces have struck nearly

4649
02:45:29,460 --> 02:45:32,080
two dozen boats alleged to be carrying drugs

4650
02:45:32,080 --> 02:45:34,820
in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific, killing

4651
02:45:34,820 --> 02:45:36,380
an estimated 80 people.

4652
02:45:37,020 --> 02:45:40,000
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro says his country will

4653
02:45:40,000 --> 02:45:42,280
defend itself against any foreign threat.

4654
02:45:42,700 --> 02:45:45,240
I'm just going to wager that by land

4655
02:45:45,240 --> 02:45:47,360
means they're going to get that base going

4656
02:45:47,360 --> 02:45:50,480
in Guyana, which Venezuela has said they're claiming,

4657
02:45:51,260 --> 02:45:53,880
which is our oil because we have the

4658
02:45:53,880 --> 02:45:54,440
contract.

4659
02:45:54,960 --> 02:45:56,960
That's what I think on land means.

4660
02:45:57,040 --> 02:45:57,540
That could be.

4661
02:45:57,700 --> 02:45:59,580
I don't think he's going to send troops

4662
02:46:00,440 --> 02:46:02,720
into Venezuela, but I think that's what he

4663
02:46:02,720 --> 02:46:02,980
means.

4664
02:46:04,280 --> 02:46:05,220
We'll see.

4665
02:46:05,760 --> 02:46:07,360
I have one final thing that I just

4666
02:46:07,360 --> 02:46:08,040
wanted to mention.

4667
02:46:09,300 --> 02:46:13,360
It's hard to avoid the Candace Owens ongoing

4668
02:46:15,440 --> 02:46:17,220
red string diaries.

4669
02:46:18,800 --> 02:46:21,400
There's only, and I'm not going to wait.

4670
02:46:23,060 --> 02:46:26,840
She's stringing red yarn between all kinds of

4671
02:46:26,840 --> 02:46:27,700
different points.

4672
02:46:28,400 --> 02:46:28,740
OK.

4673
02:46:29,180 --> 02:46:31,100
And I don't listen to her show.

4674
02:46:31,480 --> 02:46:33,500
Well, so the one thing that she's like,

4675
02:46:34,460 --> 02:46:37,800
Egyptian Air Force jet came into Provo, Utah,

4676
02:46:38,140 --> 02:46:39,360
stayed there for an hour.

4677
02:46:41,020 --> 02:46:41,560
Interesting.

4678
02:46:42,420 --> 02:46:43,240
What were they doing?

4679
02:46:43,860 --> 02:46:45,480
Were they just getting gas or were they

4680
02:46:45,480 --> 02:46:46,480
dropping someone off?

4681
02:46:46,720 --> 02:46:50,060
This is in reference to Egyptian Air Force

4682
02:46:50,060 --> 02:46:52,460
operatives killing Charlie Kirk.

4683
02:46:53,540 --> 02:46:54,180
So I just.

4684
02:46:55,320 --> 02:46:55,420
God.

4685
02:46:55,780 --> 02:46:56,220
Oh, yeah.

4686
02:46:56,380 --> 02:46:57,400
Oh, that's a stretch.

4687
02:46:57,600 --> 02:46:59,960
Oh, no, it's then they turned off their

4688
02:46:59,960 --> 02:47:04,120
transponder and they first landed Air Force Base,

4689
02:47:04,380 --> 02:47:06,600
Air Minnow, which is a nuclear force base.

4690
02:47:08,800 --> 02:47:09,480
Yes.

4691
02:47:13,000 --> 02:47:16,500
I'd like to explain what the Egyptian Air

4692
02:47:16,500 --> 02:47:21,020
Force is doing landing in Minnow and then

4693
02:47:21,020 --> 02:47:22,100
going to Provo.

4694
02:47:24,640 --> 02:47:27,480
They're an Egyptian Air Force and it's Gulfstream.

4695
02:47:27,980 --> 02:47:29,480
I think they have a four and I

4696
02:47:29,480 --> 02:47:33,620
think they have a the tri engine.

4697
02:47:34,660 --> 02:47:36,000
Forget the name of it.

4698
02:47:36,780 --> 02:47:38,700
So they have they come from Paris.

4699
02:47:38,980 --> 02:47:39,880
They what?

4700
02:47:40,140 --> 02:47:41,140
It's a Ford.

4701
02:47:41,560 --> 02:47:42,620
It's not a Ford.

4702
02:47:42,980 --> 02:47:44,020
A Ford triplane.

4703
02:47:44,260 --> 02:47:45,480
Yeah, no, it's not.

4704
02:47:47,120 --> 02:47:49,200
No, it's a French aircraft.

4705
02:47:49,380 --> 02:47:52,340
No, but it's mainly the Gulfstreams.

4706
02:47:52,720 --> 02:47:55,320
So they fly from Paris to Minnow Airport

4707
02:47:55,320 --> 02:47:59,140
because they are a military outfit and they

4708
02:47:59,140 --> 02:48:02,200
get cleared into the U.S. and to

4709
02:48:02,200 --> 02:48:05,160
fly on to any other place through Minnow.

4710
02:48:05,300 --> 02:48:06,740
That's what Minnow is doing.

4711
02:48:07,320 --> 02:48:08,200
Why Provo?

4712
02:48:08,640 --> 02:48:12,720
Because Duncan Aviation is one of the is

4713
02:48:12,720 --> 02:48:20,800
only one of three premier Gulfstream maintenance shops.

4714
02:48:21,630 --> 02:48:25,080
You want to go to Duncan Aviation for

4715
02:48:25,080 --> 02:48:28,520
modifications, repairs, inspections, et cetera.

4716
02:48:28,820 --> 02:48:31,720
And they just so happen to have contracts

4717
02:48:31,720 --> 02:48:33,420
with the Egyptian military.

4718
02:48:34,440 --> 02:48:36,480
That's what they're doing in Provo, Utah.

4719
02:48:37,700 --> 02:48:41,400
So I just wanted to dispel one little

4720
02:48:41,400 --> 02:48:41,760
rumor.

4721
02:48:43,740 --> 02:48:45,760
Well, you're going to be you're going to

4722
02:48:45,760 --> 02:48:47,200
be digging a lot if you're going to

4723
02:48:47,200 --> 02:48:49,460
try to dispel all the stuff that she

4724
02:48:49,460 --> 02:48:50,280
puts out there.

4725
02:48:50,340 --> 02:48:52,580
I have nothing to dispel, but this one

4726
02:48:52,580 --> 02:48:53,040
I have.

4727
02:48:53,140 --> 02:48:54,440
I happen to know aviation.

4728
02:48:54,440 --> 02:48:56,820
So I'm like, oh, this is they're not

4729
02:48:56,820 --> 02:48:59,080
going to drop someone off to kill Charlie

4730
02:48:59,080 --> 02:48:59,480
Kirk.

4731
02:48:59,640 --> 02:49:01,600
They get in the toilet seat replaced.

4732
02:49:02,340 --> 02:49:02,940
Give me a break.

4733
02:49:03,160 --> 02:49:04,860
What is the Egyptians got to do with

4734
02:49:04,860 --> 02:49:05,520
Charlie Kirk?

4735
02:49:05,560 --> 02:49:06,500
Or why would they care?

4736
02:49:06,640 --> 02:49:07,640
Well, you got to watch.

4737
02:49:07,800 --> 02:49:09,300
You have to bring in a hitman from

4738
02:49:09,300 --> 02:49:09,780
Egypt.

4739
02:49:10,040 --> 02:49:10,240
Yes.

4740
02:49:10,240 --> 02:49:10,980
Are you kidding me?

4741
02:49:11,180 --> 02:49:11,580
Yes.

4742
02:49:12,140 --> 02:49:14,080
They had plenty in Rhode Island.

4743
02:49:14,940 --> 02:49:15,960
This is the level.

4744
02:49:16,240 --> 02:49:17,640
This is the level it's come to.

4745
02:49:19,560 --> 02:49:20,040
All right.

4746
02:49:20,060 --> 02:49:21,440
You got anything to leave or you want

4747
02:49:21,440 --> 02:49:22,060
to leave it at that?

4748
02:49:22,980 --> 02:49:24,860
It's like anything kind of funny.

4749
02:49:25,000 --> 02:49:26,900
There's the oh, yeah, this is just kind

4750
02:49:26,900 --> 02:49:27,420
of interesting.

4751
02:49:27,520 --> 02:49:30,000
This genetic pumpkin is a short clip.

4752
02:49:30,060 --> 02:49:30,960
And I just thought it was.

4753
02:49:31,220 --> 02:49:31,640
Sorry.

4754
02:49:31,960 --> 02:49:33,580
I just thought it was interesting that this

4755
02:49:33,580 --> 02:49:34,980
is how this is how you're getting these

4756
02:49:34,980 --> 02:49:35,880
giant pumpkins.

4757
02:49:36,220 --> 02:49:38,760
Ordiners across the globe attempt to claim the

4758
02:49:38,760 --> 02:49:41,260
title of the world's largest pumpkin.

4759
02:49:41,760 --> 02:49:43,420
It's a serious sport for many.

4760
02:49:43,720 --> 02:49:47,480
It's even created a bizarre online market for

4761
02:49:47,480 --> 02:49:49,540
seeds with outlandish genetics.

4762
02:49:50,060 --> 02:49:51,860
And they can cost quite a bit of

4763
02:49:51,860 --> 02:49:52,120
money.

4764
02:49:52,620 --> 02:49:54,560
One seed costs three hundred and forty nine

4765
02:49:54,560 --> 02:49:55,680
dollars per package.

4766
02:49:56,220 --> 02:49:57,220
I'm Anisa Khalifa.

4767
02:49:57,640 --> 02:49:59,560
And on this episode of the Broadside from

4768
02:49:59,560 --> 02:50:04,260
WNC, we explore the science, the glory and

4769
02:50:04,260 --> 02:50:07,500
the drama of competitive giant pumpkin growing.

4770
02:50:08,000 --> 02:50:11,780
Just Saturday, a new world record was established.

4771
02:50:12,280 --> 02:50:15,660
Two thousand eight hundred and eighteen pounds.

4772
02:50:16,140 --> 02:50:19,380
So that's about the size of a VW.

4773
02:50:20,820 --> 02:50:22,180
Only in America.

4774
02:50:23,900 --> 02:50:24,400
Wow.

4775
02:50:25,820 --> 02:50:27,020
Oh, my goodness.

4776
02:50:28,000 --> 02:50:29,000
We're nuts.

4777
02:50:30,060 --> 02:50:31,000
America, baby.

4778
02:50:31,340 --> 02:50:33,440
I'm going to show my saloon by donating

4779
02:50:33,440 --> 02:50:34,320
to No Agenda.

4780
02:50:34,480 --> 02:50:36,360
Imagine all the people who could do that.

4781
02:50:36,580 --> 02:50:37,620
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

4782
02:50:38,760 --> 02:50:46,580
Yeah, we do have a few people to

4783
02:50:46,580 --> 02:50:51,020
thank for show 1821 and over 50 dollars

4784
02:50:51,020 --> 02:50:52,540
and less than 200.

4785
02:50:52,780 --> 02:50:54,060
Adam has a list and he's going to

4786
02:50:54,060 --> 02:50:54,580
read it off.

4787
02:50:54,820 --> 02:50:55,320
I am.

4788
02:50:55,420 --> 02:50:57,060
We also have John's tip of the day

4789
02:50:57,060 --> 02:50:57,680
coming up.

4790
02:50:57,740 --> 02:50:58,820
You want to stay tuned for that.

4791
02:50:58,900 --> 02:51:01,880
We got some end of show mixes and

4792
02:51:01,880 --> 02:51:04,780
we thank, of course, we got meetups.

4793
02:51:04,900 --> 02:51:05,880
Yes, we do have a meetup.

4794
02:51:05,900 --> 02:51:07,640
We actually have a meetup report, which is

4795
02:51:07,640 --> 02:51:07,880
nice.

4796
02:51:07,940 --> 02:51:08,700
We got one in.

4856
02:52:52,580 --> 02:52:55,240
My father, just his wife of 69 years

4857
02:52:55,240 --> 02:52:57,320
and mom, age 92, will be missed.

4858
02:52:57,660 --> 02:52:58,520
Oh, OK.

4859
02:52:58,600 --> 02:52:59,400
Sorry to hear that.

4860
02:53:00,000 --> 02:53:01,820

4861
02:53:01,820 --> 02:53:05,000

02:53:30,660 --> 02:53:34,200
Well, hold on, everybody.

4875
02:53:34,340 --> 02:53:35,480
We have one.

4876
02:53:35,740 --> 02:53:36,160
Count them.

4877
02:53:36,260 --> 02:53:36,980
One birthday.

4878
02:53:37,360 --> 02:53:38,060
Kevin McKenna.

4879
02:53:38,060 --> 02:53:40,920
Happy birthday to his son, Rylan McKenna.

4880
02:53:41,120 --> 02:53:44,340
He turned 14 on the 28th, so we

4881
02:53:44,340 --> 02:53:46,120
congratulate him as the only birthday.

4882
02:53:46,400 --> 02:53:48,580
Happy birthday for everybody here at the best

4883
02:53:48,580 --> 02:53:50,260
podcast in the universe.

4884
02:53:51,900 --> 02:53:55,360
We got a note from Josiah Hendrickson, who

4885
02:53:55,360 --> 02:53:56,220
becomes a knight.

4886
02:53:56,300 --> 02:53:58,120
I have a feeling this is a layaway.

4887
02:53:59,640 --> 02:54:02,600
He wants to henceforth be known as Sir

4888
02:54:02,600 --> 02:54:05,620
Wire Cowboy, defender of the penny jar, and

4889
02:54:05,620 --> 02:54:08,340
he wants mamacitas and lukewarm tequila at the

4890
02:54:08,340 --> 02:54:08,820
round table.

4891
02:54:09,000 --> 02:54:10,740
I don't know why he wants that.

4892
02:54:11,160 --> 02:54:12,760
Lukewarm tequila doesn't sound good.

4893
02:54:12,880 --> 02:54:14,900
Sounds like a one-way ticket to the

4894
02:54:14,900 --> 02:54:16,220
toilet, as far as I'm concerned.

4895
02:54:16,680 --> 02:54:18,740
It's a one-way ticket to getting rid

4896
02:54:18,740 --> 02:54:18,940
of it.

4897
02:54:20,160 --> 02:54:22,120
Expelling that same tequila.

4898
02:54:22,400 --> 02:54:23,360
Getting rid of the tequila.

4899
02:54:23,540 --> 02:54:26,360
So if you'll draw your blade, sir, please.

4900
02:54:26,360 --> 02:54:27,600
Yeah, I got a blade right here for

4901
02:54:27,600 --> 02:54:27,740
you.

4902
02:54:32,280 --> 02:54:35,140
Hendrickson, you, sir, are about to become a

4903
02:54:35,140 --> 02:54:37,360
knight of that coveted round table of No

4904
02:54:37,360 --> 02:54:38,440
Agenda knights and dames.

4905
02:54:38,560 --> 02:54:41,900
Thanks to your layaway amount of $1,000

4906
02:54:41,900 --> 02:54:43,880
or more to the No Agenda show.

4907
02:54:43,980 --> 02:54:45,460
Best podcast in the universe.

4908
02:54:45,940 --> 02:54:48,820
I'm proud to pronounce the KB as Sir

4909
02:54:48,820 --> 02:54:50,240
Wire Cowboy.

4910
02:54:50,520 --> 02:54:52,900
And as requested, besides the hookers and blow

4911
02:54:52,900 --> 02:54:54,880
and rent boys and chardonnay, we've got some

4912
02:54:54,880 --> 02:54:58,420
mamacitas and lukewarm tequila right here for you.

4913
02:54:58,720 --> 02:55:01,880
Add to that some pepperoni rolls and pale

4914
02:55:01,880 --> 02:55:05,300
ales, masticoli and margaritas, beers and blunts, bar

4915
02:55:05,300 --> 02:55:07,680
hits and bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts, tinder

4916
02:55:07,680 --> 02:55:10,020
ale and gerbils, breast milk and pablum.

4917
02:55:10,100 --> 02:55:11,620
There's always the mutton and the mead, and

4918
02:55:11,620 --> 02:55:12,840
we've got it there for you at the

4919
02:55:12,840 --> 02:55:13,300
round table.

4920
02:55:13,480 --> 02:55:16,140
And please go to noagendarings.com.

4921
02:55:16,220 --> 02:55:17,880
Let us know what ring size you take,

4922
02:55:18,060 --> 02:55:19,540
and we'll get one off to you as

4923
02:55:19,540 --> 02:55:20,080
soon as possible.

4924
02:55:20,160 --> 02:55:21,260
I think we just put in an order

4925
02:55:21,260 --> 02:55:23,660
for a whole new bunch of them, which

4926
02:55:23,660 --> 02:55:26,340
is always complicated because everyone has a different

4927
02:55:26,340 --> 02:55:26,880
size.

4928
02:55:27,000 --> 02:55:28,700
So it's, you know, it's hard to gauge.

4929
02:55:29,060 --> 02:55:30,980
We've got people with size 13 ring.

4930
02:55:31,480 --> 02:55:32,180
Did I see that?

4931
02:55:33,260 --> 02:55:34,420
That's a big finger.

4932
02:55:37,480 --> 02:55:38,780
You muted yourself.

4933
02:55:39,200 --> 02:55:41,500
So whatever you said, whatever funny quip you

4934
02:55:41,500 --> 02:55:43,320
had was completely missed.

4935
02:55:45,300 --> 02:55:46,440
And you're still muted.

4936
02:55:46,600 --> 02:55:48,740
Well, anyway, I guess Jon will come back

4937
02:55:48,740 --> 02:55:49,280
when he's ready.

4938
02:55:49,980 --> 02:55:52,380
In the meantime, let's take a look at

4939
02:55:52,380 --> 02:55:53,420
the No Agenda Meetups.

4940
02:55:53,600 --> 02:55:54,620
Yes, yes, yes.

4941
02:55:54,700 --> 02:55:58,100
I muted myself because during the nighting and

4942
02:55:58,100 --> 02:56:00,080
then you go off to the meetings, it

4943
02:56:00,080 --> 02:56:01,760
gives me an opportunity to go to the

4944
02:56:01,760 --> 02:56:02,220
bathroom.

4945
02:56:02,640 --> 02:56:04,720
Normally I don't mute myself, but I did

4946
02:56:04,720 --> 02:56:06,220
this time because I also had to blow

4947
02:56:06,220 --> 02:56:06,780
my nose.

4948
02:56:06,780 --> 02:56:08,120
And every time I do that in the

4949
02:56:08,120 --> 02:56:09,180
mic, it sounds stupid.

4950
02:56:09,840 --> 02:56:11,640
So I muted myself and I don't see

4951
02:56:11,640 --> 02:56:13,600
any reason until after you're done that you

4952
02:56:13,600 --> 02:56:14,980
could call me out on it.

4953
02:56:19,760 --> 02:56:26,460
Well, Jon was having his own little private

4954
02:56:26,460 --> 02:56:26,960
meetup.

4955
02:56:27,120 --> 02:56:29,580
We'll talk about the public meetups that you

4956
02:56:29,580 --> 02:56:31,660
can find at noagendameetups.com.

4957
02:56:31,680 --> 02:56:32,500
We have a report.

4958
02:56:32,680 --> 02:56:35,220
This is the Wageningen meetup in the Netherlands.

4959
02:56:35,220 --> 02:56:38,740
Uh, there they sounds like they have some

4960
02:56:38,740 --> 02:56:39,520
wacky backy.

4961
02:56:39,560 --> 02:56:41,840
It's soon to be, Sir Jaap, in the

4962
02:56:41,840 --> 02:56:42,280
morning.

4963
02:56:42,660 --> 02:56:44,900
Sir Doris, I need some job karma.

4964
02:56:45,260 --> 02:56:46,820
Sir Huusgedapen, stay safe.

4965
02:56:47,240 --> 02:56:48,960
In the morning, this is Roland, the IMDB

4966
02:56:48,960 --> 02:56:49,340
guy.

4967
02:56:49,660 --> 02:56:51,880
Greetings from the note runners in the morning.

4968
02:56:52,220 --> 02:56:53,500
In the morning, greetings from Felix.

4969
02:56:53,840 --> 02:56:55,920
Happy Sinterklaas next week.

4970
02:56:56,220 --> 02:56:59,440
This is Sir Hendrik, who will give word

4971
02:56:59,440 --> 02:57:00,560
to the waitress.

4972
02:57:01,320 --> 02:57:01,640
Hello.

4973
02:57:03,540 --> 02:57:05,100
In the morning.

4974
02:57:07,360 --> 02:57:09,260
Putting the waitress on the spot there.

4975
02:57:09,380 --> 02:57:10,060
Thank you very much.

4976
02:57:10,100 --> 02:57:11,380
Sounds like you guys had a good time.

4977
02:57:11,440 --> 02:57:13,880
There is a meetup taking place today in

4978
02:57:13,880 --> 02:57:19,380
Goleta, California, the Goleta HGI rooftop meetup.

4979
02:57:19,900 --> 02:57:22,040
That's the 805 rooftop meetup.

4980
02:57:22,080 --> 02:57:23,400
It kicks off at four o'clock.

4981
02:57:23,540 --> 02:57:25,100
Dame Beth, maybe it's her own rooftop.

4982
02:57:25,380 --> 02:57:27,940
And on Thursday, oh, no, these are both

4983
02:57:27,940 --> 02:57:28,240
Thursday.

4984
02:57:28,300 --> 02:57:28,580
I'm sorry.

4985
02:57:28,660 --> 02:57:29,080
Not today.

4986
02:57:29,180 --> 02:57:29,560
Thursday.

4987
02:57:30,040 --> 02:57:31,620
Pre-St.  Nicholas Day, or Thanksgiving.

4988
02:57:31,620 --> 02:57:33,220
Thanksgiving Part Deux.

4989
02:57:33,380 --> 02:57:36,300
Yes, December 5th is when St. Nicholas comes

4990
02:57:36,300 --> 02:57:38,100
in Holland.

4991
02:57:38,980 --> 02:57:41,540
And he puts candy in the kid's shoes.

4992
02:57:42,160 --> 02:57:43,120
And if the kid...

4993
02:57:43,120 --> 02:57:44,720
Doesn't he have some helpers with him?

4994
02:57:44,740 --> 02:57:46,320
Yes, he has the Black Pete's.

4995
02:57:47,460 --> 02:57:49,680
And if you've been a bad kid, they

4996
02:57:49,680 --> 02:57:52,060
stick you in a bag and they take

4997
02:57:52,060 --> 02:57:53,040
you back to Spain.

4998
02:57:54,380 --> 02:57:57,500
And this is very controversial because of it

4999
02:57:57,500 --> 02:57:58,300
being racist.

5000
02:57:58,520 --> 02:57:59,000
Racist.

5001
02:57:59,000 --> 02:58:01,440
No, Black Pete's are very racist because they're

5002
02:58:01,440 --> 02:58:04,000
Black and they're white people in Blackface.

5003
02:58:04,220 --> 02:58:06,220
And so now we have Rainbow Pete's.

5004
02:58:06,620 --> 02:58:07,560
We have Rainbow Pete's.

5005
02:58:07,620 --> 02:58:08,880
We don't have Black Pete's anymore.

5006
02:58:09,240 --> 02:58:10,520
Is that official?

5007
02:58:11,360 --> 02:58:12,320
Not official.

5008
02:58:12,600 --> 02:58:15,140
But if you walk around in Blackface as

5009
02:58:15,140 --> 02:58:16,740
a Black Pete, you'll get beat up.

5010
02:58:18,120 --> 02:58:19,080
By who?

5011
02:58:19,940 --> 02:58:21,640
By the Pete Patrol.

5012
02:58:23,780 --> 02:58:24,500
I don't know.

5013
02:58:25,060 --> 02:58:27,840
There's always riots going on about this.

5014
02:58:27,840 --> 02:58:30,220
There are always people demonstrating against the Black

5015
02:58:30,220 --> 02:58:30,580
Pete's.

5016
02:58:30,720 --> 02:58:32,240
They've been doing it for hundreds of years,

5017
02:58:32,340 --> 02:58:32,780
but okay.

5018
02:58:33,860 --> 02:58:35,980
So that's the pre-St. Nicholas Day Thanksgiving

5019
02:58:35,980 --> 02:58:36,660
Part Deux.

5020
02:58:36,740 --> 02:58:38,500
Six o'clock at Saints and Scholars in

5021
02:58:38,500 --> 02:58:39,580
Raleigh, North Carolina.

5022
02:58:40,020 --> 02:58:42,300
The rest of the month winds up on

5023
02:58:42,300 --> 02:58:44,140
the 7th, Toronto in Canada.

5024
02:58:44,300 --> 02:58:45,920
Rochester on the 11th.

5025
02:58:46,180 --> 02:58:47,420
That's Rochester, Minnesota.

5026
02:58:48,400 --> 02:58:50,140
Eagle Idaho on the 13th.

5027
02:58:50,180 --> 02:58:51,980
Indianapolis, Indiana on the 14th.

5028
02:58:52,080 --> 02:58:53,780
Charlotte, North Carolina on the 18th.

5029
02:58:53,820 --> 02:58:56,040
And the day after Christmas, Clovis, California.

5030
02:58:56,040 --> 02:58:57,520
Go find all the meetups.

5031
02:58:57,600 --> 02:58:58,860
You've got to attend one of these.

5032
02:58:59,000 --> 02:59:01,200
It brings you connection that guarantees protection.

5033
02:59:01,380 --> 02:59:03,780
These are your first responders in an emergency.

5034
02:59:04,320 --> 02:59:06,180
You'll meet your family at a No Agenda

5035
02:59:06,180 --> 02:59:06,520
meetup.

5036
02:59:06,560 --> 02:59:08,580
Maybe your next spouse, your boyfriend or girlfriend.

5037
02:59:08,720 --> 02:59:10,060
Go to noagendameetups.com.

5038
02:59:10,320 --> 02:59:11,840
If you can't find one near you, start

5039
02:59:11,840 --> 02:59:12,460
one yourself.

5040
02:59:12,580 --> 02:59:14,300
Very easy and always a party.

5041
02:59:33,940 --> 02:59:36,300
And there was a jobs karma someone needed

5042
02:59:36,300 --> 02:59:36,520
there.

5043
02:59:36,860 --> 02:59:39,940
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.

5044
02:59:40,040 --> 02:59:41,640
Let's vote for jobs.

5045
02:59:46,340 --> 02:59:47,600
All righty then.

5046
02:59:47,680 --> 02:59:49,260
Before we get to the tip of the

5047
02:59:49,260 --> 02:59:51,140
day, we always want to check in with

5048
02:59:51,140 --> 02:59:52,020
some ISOs.

5049
02:59:52,040 --> 02:59:52,780
See what we can do.

5050
02:59:53,300 --> 02:59:55,200
This is a man against the machine is

5051
02:59:55,200 --> 02:59:55,960
what this is.

5052
02:59:55,960 --> 03:00:00,260
It's my ISOs against your AI stuff.

5053
03:00:00,640 --> 03:00:01,060
Your AI stuff.

5054
03:00:01,060 --> 03:00:02,820
This is just a matter of time.

5055
03:00:03,320 --> 03:00:03,960
Until what?

5056
03:00:04,720 --> 03:00:05,660
Until you cave.

5057
03:00:06,260 --> 03:00:07,260
I don't know if I'm going to cave.

5058
03:00:07,260 --> 03:00:08,420
You have the subscription.

5059
03:00:08,640 --> 03:00:10,560
You can do a lot of creative stuff

5060
03:00:10,560 --> 03:00:13,240
with 11 labs if you pay money.

5061
03:00:13,640 --> 03:00:13,880
Yeah.

5062
03:00:14,020 --> 03:00:16,160
Well, I'll give you some real ISOs.

5063
03:00:16,160 --> 03:00:17,680
I'll give you three months.

5064
03:00:18,460 --> 03:00:18,900
Okay.

5065
03:00:18,980 --> 03:00:20,260
Here's my first real one.

5066
03:00:20,320 --> 03:00:21,640
It doesn't get better than that.

5067
03:00:22,800 --> 03:00:23,860
Yeah, that's pretty good.

5068
03:00:24,140 --> 03:00:25,000
That's unusual.

5069
03:00:25,580 --> 03:00:27,650
Oh, that makes a whole lot of sense.

5070
03:00:28,700 --> 03:00:30,240
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

5071
03:00:30,340 --> 03:00:30,680
Okay.

5072
03:00:31,620 --> 03:00:32,080
Okay.

5073
03:00:33,180 --> 03:00:33,640
Interesting.

5074
03:00:34,520 --> 03:00:36,500
Not bad at all.

5075
03:00:37,560 --> 03:00:38,780
Yeah, I don't know.

5076
03:00:38,800 --> 03:00:39,820
Here's my final one.

5077
03:00:40,020 --> 03:00:41,940
This came down to the wire.

5078
03:00:44,640 --> 03:00:45,880
You don't like any of them?

5079
03:00:46,800 --> 03:00:48,680
Well, I like the second one.

5080
03:00:49,520 --> 03:00:51,440
And then the last one, I don't understand

5081
03:00:51,440 --> 03:00:53,180
what that's got to do with the price

5082
03:00:53,180 --> 03:00:53,640
of bread.

5083
03:00:53,640 --> 03:00:56,120
That makes a whole lot of sense.

5084
03:00:56,580 --> 03:00:57,680
That was the second one.

5085
03:00:57,840 --> 03:00:58,380
I think that was the second one.

5086
03:00:58,380 --> 03:00:59,400
I thought that was okay.

5087
03:00:59,660 --> 03:00:59,920
Yeah.

5088
03:01:00,140 --> 03:01:00,480
All right.

5089
03:01:00,540 --> 03:01:02,040
Well, let's see what you prompted.

5090
03:01:03,340 --> 03:01:03,840
What?

5091
03:01:07,120 --> 03:01:08,400
Let's go with best.

5092
03:01:08,900 --> 03:01:09,500
It's true.

5093
03:01:09,800 --> 03:01:11,740
These guys are the best of breed.

5094
03:01:12,740 --> 03:01:13,180
Okay.

5095
03:01:14,880 --> 03:01:15,400
Better.

5096
03:01:15,820 --> 03:01:18,360
The show just keeps getting better.

5097
03:01:20,260 --> 03:01:20,780
Yes.

5098
03:01:21,900 --> 03:01:23,200
And then man, oh, man.

5099
03:01:23,200 --> 03:01:24,600
Man, oh, man.

5100
03:01:24,740 --> 03:01:25,200
Oh, man.

5101
03:01:25,260 --> 03:01:25,800
Oh, man.

5102
03:01:25,860 --> 03:01:27,220
What a podcast.

5103
03:01:27,960 --> 03:01:29,620
Yeah, that's probably the best one.

5104
03:01:29,700 --> 03:01:31,560
Can't you just use a different voice?

5105
03:01:32,380 --> 03:01:32,760
Okay.

5106
03:01:33,080 --> 03:01:35,780
I was waiting for this, of course.

5107
03:01:35,980 --> 03:01:36,980
You need a different voice.

5108
03:01:37,060 --> 03:01:37,700
No, no.

5109
03:01:37,840 --> 03:01:38,120
I'm telling you.

5110
03:01:38,140 --> 03:01:38,640
Here's the deal.

5111
03:01:39,140 --> 03:01:40,820
This is the voice I lost.

5112
03:01:41,480 --> 03:01:43,160
They took the voice away from me.

5113
03:01:43,280 --> 03:01:44,440
This is not a good voice.

5114
03:01:44,560 --> 03:01:45,220
It's lame.

5115
03:01:45,380 --> 03:01:46,720
I love this guy's voice.

5116
03:01:46,780 --> 03:01:49,260
This is Caleb Spuds, they call him, Spuds.

5117
03:01:49,860 --> 03:01:51,480
Anyone out there, you can look him up.

5118
03:01:51,480 --> 03:01:53,800
And so I lost the voice.

5119
03:01:53,940 --> 03:01:54,940
And so I got him back.

5120
03:01:54,980 --> 03:01:56,240
And I think I'm going to switch him

5121
03:01:56,240 --> 03:01:56,780
out again.

5122
03:01:57,220 --> 03:01:58,980
But I figured as soon as I switch

5123
03:01:58,980 --> 03:02:02,320
him out, I'm going to have to eventually

5124
03:02:02,320 --> 03:02:05,440
pay money for 11 laps.

5125
03:02:05,500 --> 03:02:06,880
And what's going to happen if I pay

5126
03:02:06,880 --> 03:02:08,560
money, that means I'm going to start sampling

5127
03:02:08,560 --> 03:02:09,580
my own voices.

5128
03:02:10,300 --> 03:02:12,540
And you're going to get Alex Jones.

5129
03:02:12,760 --> 03:02:14,000
And you're going to get Tucker.

5130
03:02:14,560 --> 03:02:16,020
And you're going to get all these different

5131
03:02:16,020 --> 03:02:17,580
kinds of things because I'll go nuts.

5132
03:02:17,840 --> 03:02:19,240
And I'm trying to avoid that.

5133
03:02:19,240 --> 03:02:21,800
You should be encouraging me to avoid it

5134
03:02:21,800 --> 03:02:23,160
because you know it's not going to be

5135
03:02:23,160 --> 03:02:24,000
a positive thing.

5136
03:02:24,160 --> 03:02:24,260
Okay.

5137
03:02:24,400 --> 03:02:26,220
Just so you know, if you want to

5138
03:02:26,220 --> 03:02:28,900
sample your own voice, it's more than $20.

5139
03:02:29,380 --> 03:02:31,620
You got to get a pro subscription.

5140
03:02:32,820 --> 03:02:35,540
And you can only sample one voice.

5141
03:02:35,640 --> 03:02:37,560
And you have to verify it's your voice.

5142
03:02:37,680 --> 03:02:39,980
You can't just feed a Tucker and make

5143
03:02:39,980 --> 03:02:40,620
it do Tucker.

5144
03:02:40,860 --> 03:02:42,400
So don't get all excited.

5145
03:02:42,920 --> 03:02:43,600
Well, wait a minute.

5146
03:02:43,620 --> 03:02:47,000
Ryan out there, who's sampled a lot of

5147
03:02:47,000 --> 03:02:49,820
voices, he's got everybody's voice.

5148
03:02:49,960 --> 03:02:51,220
I don't know who Ryan is.

5149
03:02:51,880 --> 03:02:54,500
Ryan's one of our producers who produced the...

5150
03:02:55,420 --> 03:02:57,800
He's the one who produced the Scott Simon

5151
03:02:57,800 --> 03:02:59,740
thing you play all the time.

5152
03:03:00,960 --> 03:03:02,420
Scott Honk Honk Simon.

5153
03:03:02,660 --> 03:03:02,840
Yeah.

5154
03:03:03,180 --> 03:03:04,880
And he's got Simon.

5155
03:03:05,520 --> 03:03:06,940
And he's got Scott Simon.

5156
03:03:07,020 --> 03:03:07,840
He's got a bunch of them.

5157
03:03:07,880 --> 03:03:08,660
He's got a whole list.

5158
03:03:08,720 --> 03:03:10,100
He sent me a laundry list of voices.

5159
03:03:10,240 --> 03:03:11,660
I've had a few sampled on there.

5160
03:03:11,760 --> 03:03:12,600
How did he do it?

5161
03:03:12,620 --> 03:03:13,480
So how's he doing?

5162
03:03:13,560 --> 03:03:13,960
I don't know.

5163
03:03:14,200 --> 03:03:15,280
Why are you asking me?

5164
03:03:15,420 --> 03:03:16,100
Ask your buddy.

5165
03:03:16,100 --> 03:03:17,320
I don't know.

5166
03:03:17,320 --> 03:03:18,560
I don't know anything.

5167
03:03:18,840 --> 03:03:20,080
He's using 11 labs.

5168
03:03:20,320 --> 03:03:21,900
What I do know is it's time for

5169
03:03:21,900 --> 03:03:23,260
John's tip of the day.

5170
03:03:29,880 --> 03:03:35,260
Okay, this is not a...

5171
03:03:35,800 --> 03:03:38,420
I think it's a great tip because I've

5172
03:03:38,420 --> 03:03:41,640
gone through these alarm clocks for years.

5173
03:03:42,020 --> 03:03:43,280
Alarm clock tip.

5174
03:03:43,620 --> 03:03:44,360
Alarm clock.

5175
03:03:44,360 --> 03:03:45,920
Not everybody needs one.

5176
03:03:45,980 --> 03:03:47,140
Some people just wake up.

5177
03:03:47,760 --> 03:03:49,140
How about your phone?

5178
03:03:50,900 --> 03:03:52,700
Oh, I'm not going to let a phone

5179
03:03:52,700 --> 03:03:53,900
be my alarm clock.

5180
03:03:55,120 --> 03:03:56,500
This is an alarm clock.

5181
03:03:56,600 --> 03:03:57,520
Yeah, the phone...

5182
03:03:57,520 --> 03:03:57,780
No.

5183
03:03:58,340 --> 03:04:01,540
So this is an FM radio alarm clock.

5184
03:04:01,640 --> 03:04:03,680
And it's got a temperature gauge.

5185
03:04:03,740 --> 03:04:05,840
It's got a battery backup.

5186
03:04:06,400 --> 03:04:09,160
The battery backup, which if your phone battery

5187
03:04:09,160 --> 03:04:11,200
goes dead, you don't have a battery backup.

5188
03:04:11,420 --> 03:04:12,540
Let me start with that.

5189
03:04:12,540 --> 03:04:14,140
Oh, we plug it in next to our

5190
03:04:14,140 --> 03:04:14,980
bed, man.

5191
03:04:15,640 --> 03:04:17,140
You got FM radio on that, dude?

5192
03:04:17,140 --> 03:04:19,100
The problem with a phone as your...

5193
03:04:19,100 --> 03:04:20,920
That means you have to answer the phone

5194
03:04:20,920 --> 03:04:21,840
at three in the morning.

5195
03:04:21,960 --> 03:04:23,960
No, you put it on silent.

5196
03:04:24,120 --> 03:04:24,760
Do not disturb.

5197
03:04:24,820 --> 03:04:26,900
By the way, does it have a shortwave

5198
03:04:26,900 --> 03:04:28,720
on that clock radio you have?

5199
03:04:28,800 --> 03:04:31,380
The cell phone is the Satan's tool.

5200
03:04:34,160 --> 03:04:37,400
I'm not going to disagree with you on

5201
03:04:37,400 --> 03:04:38,160
that point.

5202
03:04:40,120 --> 03:04:45,470
Yes, alarm clock.

5203
03:04:45,950 --> 03:04:48,470
Yes, it's called a DreamSky alarm clock radio

5204
03:04:48,470 --> 03:04:49,150
for bedrooms.

5205
03:04:49,410 --> 03:04:50,890
It's a small device.

5206
03:04:51,010 --> 03:04:51,830
It's dynamite.

5207
03:04:51,910 --> 03:04:52,290
It works.

5208
03:04:52,370 --> 03:04:54,230
It doesn't change the time like some of

5209
03:04:54,230 --> 03:04:58,670
these other cheap Chinese clocks do.

5210
03:04:58,730 --> 03:04:59,570
It's 18 bucks.

5211
03:04:59,690 --> 03:05:01,290
It's on sale tomorrow on Amazon.

5212
03:05:01,730 --> 03:05:02,030
Wow.

5213
03:05:02,330 --> 03:05:03,250
It's cheap.

5214
03:05:03,330 --> 03:05:04,270
It works great.

5215
03:05:04,410 --> 03:05:05,470
It's got a perfect alarm.

5216
03:05:05,550 --> 03:05:06,710
You can do all kinds of little things

5217
03:05:06,710 --> 03:05:07,770
with it to set it right.

5218
03:05:08,150 --> 03:05:09,610
And it's got a battery backup so it

5219
03:05:09,610 --> 03:05:11,550
doesn't go dead at the power goes out.

5220
03:05:12,850 --> 03:05:15,870
And DreamSky makes a ton of different display

5221
03:05:15,870 --> 03:05:17,690
modules with all kinds of clocks.

5222
03:05:18,290 --> 03:05:19,370
And you might want to look at their

5223
03:05:19,370 --> 03:05:20,510
website, but...

5224
03:05:20,510 --> 03:05:23,710
I like the kind that display the time

5225
03:05:23,710 --> 03:05:24,430
on the ceiling.

5226
03:05:24,790 --> 03:05:25,670
You ever seen those?

5227
03:05:25,990 --> 03:05:27,510
They may have one of those too.

5228
03:05:27,710 --> 03:05:28,170
I like those.

5229
03:05:28,770 --> 03:05:32,570
They're big, because it's just too much work

5230
03:05:32,570 --> 03:05:34,230
to roll over and actually look at the

5231
03:05:34,230 --> 03:05:34,430
clock.

5232
03:05:34,570 --> 03:05:35,010
Does it have an...

5233
03:05:35,010 --> 03:05:35,950
Oh, there it is.

5234
03:05:36,610 --> 03:05:39,190
Does it have an outdoor thermometer in it?

5235
03:05:39,270 --> 03:05:40,350
I mean, this sounds like this...

5236
03:05:40,350 --> 03:05:41,110
No, it doesn't.

5237
03:05:41,270 --> 03:05:43,250
It has an indoor thermometer, but an outdoor

5238
03:05:43,250 --> 03:05:44,630
thermometer would be useful.

5239
03:05:47,630 --> 03:05:48,390
Okay, what's...

5240
03:05:48,390 --> 03:05:50,990
It's a cheap little clock that works great

5241
03:05:50,990 --> 03:05:52,250
and it doesn't lose time.

5242
03:05:52,270 --> 03:05:53,970
It's a great stocking stuffer.

5243
03:05:54,810 --> 03:05:56,250
It is, actually.

5244
03:05:56,310 --> 03:05:56,990
That's a good point.

5245
03:05:57,090 --> 03:05:57,290
Yes.

5246
03:05:57,390 --> 03:05:58,730
What is the brand again?

5247
03:05:59,550 --> 03:06:03,610
Of all things, it's classic Chinese name, DreamSky.

5248
03:06:04,050 --> 03:06:05,530
DreamSky, best price.

5249
03:06:05,630 --> 03:06:06,190
There it is.

Find all of his tips at tipoftheday.net

5251
03:06:08,710 --> 03:06:09,970
for John's Tip of the Day.

5252
03:06:10,970 --> 03:06:13,350
Created by us, for you and me.

5253
03:06:13,570 --> 03:06:16,290
Just a tip with JCD.

5254
03:06:17,090 --> 03:06:18,550
And sometimes, Adam.

5255
03:06:19,290 --> 03:06:20,430
Created by Dana Brunetti.

5256
03:06:20,670 --> 03:06:21,270
You're killing me.

5257
03:06:21,370 --> 03:06:22,010
That was a good tip.

5258
03:06:22,810 --> 03:06:24,290
I may get one of those, just as

5259
03:06:24,290 --> 03:06:25,350
a stocking stuffer.

5260
03:06:26,050 --> 03:06:26,770
Hey, baby.

5261
03:06:27,450 --> 03:06:28,330
Merry Christmas.

5262
03:06:28,490 --> 03:06:28,990
You'd be like...

5263
03:06:28,990 --> 03:06:29,790
It's very small.

5264
03:06:29,870 --> 03:06:31,670
It's a perfect stocking stuffer.

5265
03:06:31,710 --> 03:06:32,630
What is this?

5266
03:06:33,630 --> 03:06:34,610
What is this?

5267
03:06:34,790 --> 03:06:35,870
I don't get it.

5268
03:06:36,110 --> 03:06:37,670
Did you not get the links I sent

5269
03:06:37,670 --> 03:06:37,850
you?

5270
03:06:37,910 --> 03:06:38,450
What is this?

5271
03:06:38,530 --> 03:06:39,290
This is no good.

5272
03:06:41,430 --> 03:06:42,350
All right, everybody.

5273
03:06:42,510 --> 03:06:44,490
That concludes our broadcast day here on the

5274
03:06:44,490 --> 03:06:45,250
No Agenda Show.

5275
03:06:45,410 --> 03:06:47,150
But stay tuned to the No Agenda Stream

5276
03:06:47,150 --> 03:06:49,030
for the Millennial Media Offensive.

5277
03:06:49,110 --> 03:06:50,010
We love those kids.

5278
03:06:51,290 --> 03:06:53,810
Episode 195 is coming up, so you can

5279
03:06:53,810 --> 03:06:54,710
stay tuned for that.

5280
03:06:55,530 --> 03:06:58,450
And, of course, we'll be back on Thursday

5281
03:06:58,450 --> 03:07:02,490
with more wadage for your cottage, as Darren

5282
03:07:02,490 --> 03:07:03,170
O'Neill would say.

5283
03:07:03,230 --> 03:07:04,850
Remember to check in early so you can

5284
03:07:04,850 --> 03:07:06,190
listen to the Rock and Roll Pre-Show.

5285
03:07:06,570 --> 03:07:09,970
And if Showmix is from— Let's see.

5286
03:07:10,150 --> 03:07:11,850
We got MVP and Melody.

5287
03:07:12,350 --> 03:07:12,870
That's right.

5288
03:07:13,010 --> 03:07:16,310
Two wrapped around real ones.

5289
03:07:16,430 --> 03:07:16,730
Beautiful.

5290
03:07:16,970 --> 03:07:17,970
Coming to you from the heart of the

5291
03:07:17,970 --> 03:07:21,370
Texas Hill Country, right here in Fredericksburg, Texas,

5292
03:07:21,570 --> 03:07:23,390
which is Christmas Central.

5293
03:07:23,590 --> 03:07:24,490
In the morning, everybody.

5294
03:07:24,630 --> 03:07:25,270
I'm Adam Curry.

5295
03:07:25,690 --> 03:07:28,830
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain,

5296
03:07:28,950 --> 03:07:29,470
I'm John C.

5297
03:07:29,550 --> 03:07:29,950
Dvorak.

5298
03:07:30,230 --> 03:07:30,610
All right.

5299
03:07:30,710 --> 03:07:32,850
Check in with us again on Thursday for

5300
03:07:32,850 --> 03:07:34,350
all the media deconstruction.

5301
03:07:34,490 --> 03:07:37,050
And remember us at noagendadonations.com.

5302
03:07:37,050 --> 03:07:39,490
Until then, adios, mofos.

5303
03:07:39,590 --> 03:07:40,390
Hooey, hooey.

5304
03:07:40,710 --> 03:07:41,370
And such.

5305
03:07:43,750 --> 03:07:45,410
Oh, the clock.

5306
03:07:46,150 --> 03:07:48,930
Five seconds, two, one.

5307
03:07:49,510 --> 03:07:50,530
The cart is empty.

5308
03:07:50,910 --> 03:07:52,050
The card is ready.

5309
03:07:52,450 --> 03:07:53,730
It's Cyber Monday.

5310
03:08:03,240 --> 03:08:04,800
The price is falling.

5311
03:08:04,920 --> 03:08:05,760
The offer flies.

5312
03:08:05,980 --> 03:08:08,040
The urgency strangles my cries.

5313
03:08:08,200 --> 03:08:09,560
Discount, discount, discount.

5314
03:08:09,780 --> 03:08:12,780
I want the drone, the smartphone, the TV

5315
03:08:12,780 --> 03:08:13,280
screen.

5316
03:08:13,280 --> 03:08:14,900
The finest winter coat.

5317
03:08:19,570 --> 03:08:20,690
This begins to sway.

5318
03:08:20,830 --> 03:08:21,730
The page won't load.

5319
03:08:21,790 --> 03:08:22,830
It won't shine today.

5320
03:08:22,970 --> 03:08:24,050
A 404 error.

5321
03:08:24,350 --> 03:08:24,950
A nightmare.

5322
03:08:25,090 --> 03:08:26,030
The server screams.

5323
03:08:26,130 --> 03:08:27,250
The firewall trembles.

5324
03:08:27,290 --> 03:08:29,290
While my poor mouse enters a deep crisis.

5325
03:08:29,590 --> 03:08:31,410
The goods are vanishing, sold out, gone.

5326
03:08:31,530 --> 03:08:33,570
No, no, it cannot end like this, all

5327
03:08:33,570 --> 03:08:34,070
alone.

5328
03:08:35,430 --> 03:08:37,750
But wait, a sound, a digital chime.

5329
03:08:37,790 --> 03:08:39,850
A signal perfect, just in time.

5330
03:08:39,950 --> 03:08:40,890
My miner pulses.

5331
03:08:41,010 --> 03:08:41,950
The hash rate is high.

5332
03:08:42,070 --> 03:08:44,070
The Bitcoin machine is reaching the sky.

5333
03:08:44,170 --> 03:08:46,230
A block is found, a treasure I've earned.

5334
03:08:46,230 --> 03:08:51,900
More crypto wealth, I can't wait.

5335
03:08:52,400 --> 03:08:54,060
To the checkout with me.

5336
03:09:07,720 --> 03:09:09,820
The president, as we remember, was one of

5337
03:09:09,820 --> 03:09:11,140
19 suspects.

5338
03:09:11,500 --> 03:09:13,100
That's his mugshot back then.

5339
03:09:13,420 --> 03:09:15,700
Including his former chief of staff.

5340
03:09:18,180 --> 03:09:18,900
Yuri, Yuri.

5341
03:09:21,780 --> 03:09:22,880
Yuri, Yuri.

5342
03:09:24,080 --> 03:09:26,500
Pro-Kremlin and pro-Putin stand.

5343
03:09:28,140 --> 03:09:29,060
Donald Putin.

5344
03:09:31,900 --> 03:09:32,900
Yuri, Yuri.

5345
03:09:35,980 --> 03:09:36,960
Donald Putin.

5346
03:09:39,880 --> 03:09:43,240
Steve Whitkoff, Donald Putin's top envoy to cut

5347
03:09:43,240 --> 03:09:46,260
to the chase with Ukraine, held a phone

5348
03:09:46,260 --> 03:09:49,180
conversation five minutes back on October 14th, according

5349
03:09:49,180 --> 03:09:51,320
to this transcript with Yuri Ushakov.

5350
03:09:51,500 --> 03:09:54,080
Now, Yuri Ushakov is Vladimir Putin's top foreign

5351
03:09:54,080 --> 03:09:54,780
policy advisor.

5352
03:09:54,940 --> 03:09:56,420
Now, the call, when you read the transcript,

5353
03:09:56,420 --> 03:09:59,500
for me, it's not like, uh, one side,

5354
03:09:59,580 --> 03:10:01,760
you know, a man representing U.S. interests

5355
03:10:01,760 --> 03:10:03,080
in this plan, trying to get the best

5356
03:10:03,080 --> 03:10:03,940
deal for Russia and Ukraine.

5357
03:10:04,060 --> 03:10:05,380
On the other side, the Russians trying to

5358
03:10:05,380 --> 03:10:06,240
get their own best interest.

5359
03:10:06,560 --> 03:10:08,480
It almost sounds like a coach talk, a

5360
03:10:08,480 --> 03:10:10,860
pep talk, that Whitkoff is trying to give

5361
03:10:10,860 --> 03:10:11,280
Ushakov.

5362
03:10:11,520 --> 03:10:14,120
He's basically saying, we need to work together,

5363
03:10:14,200 --> 03:10:16,580
uh, to get this peace deal, uh, done.

5364
03:10:19,000 --> 03:10:20,100
Yuri, Yuri, Yuri.

5365
03:10:20,340 --> 03:10:21,060
Donald Putin.

5366
03:10:30,310 --> 03:10:33,390
In Kentucky came Air Force Two, the vice

5367
03:10:33,390 --> 03:10:36,950
president arrived beneath the flags of freedom where

5368
03:10:36,950 --> 03:10:38,290
the spirit is alive.

5369
03:10:39,690 --> 03:10:42,090
He shook a hand, he signed a cap,

5370
03:10:42,210 --> 03:10:45,750
he talked about the nation, then he dropped

5371
03:10:45,750 --> 03:10:47,250
a troop bomb in the middle of the

5372
03:10:47,250 --> 03:10:47,710
station.

5373
03:10:50,050 --> 03:10:53,630
He looked upon the soldiers, brave and strong

5374
03:10:53,630 --> 03:10:56,470
and true, And he told them his young

5375
03:10:56,470 --> 03:11:01,630
American view Folks, let's be honest.

5376
03:11:02,110 --> 03:11:03,390
Turkey doesn't taste that great.

5377
03:11:03,550 --> 03:11:06,530
It tastes a lot like booty!

5378
03:11:09,430 --> 03:11:11,490
It's tradition on a platter, it's what's served

5379
03:11:11,490 --> 03:11:13,450
upon the plate It's bland, dry filler, you

5380
03:11:13,450 --> 03:11:15,190
only eat it out of duty A symbol

5381
03:11:15,190 --> 03:11:19,400
of the giving, but not a savory He

5382
03:11:19,400 --> 03:11:22,040
told the troops back at Fort Campbell The

5383
03:11:22,040 --> 03:11:24,680
deep-fried rule is sound If you gotta

5384
03:11:24,680 --> 03:11:27,120
dunk it in oil, it ain't the best

5385
03:11:27,120 --> 03:11:33,340
meat around He said it's not that good

5386
03:11:33,340 --> 03:11:35,780
Most people don't like it one little bit

5387
03:11:36,340 --> 03:11:38,960
He said announcing he actually thinks It tastes

5388
03:11:38,960 --> 03:11:41,820
like a word that rhymes with spit But

5389
03:11:41,820 --> 03:11:45,480
maybe he was right, yeah, far right Let's

5390
03:11:45,480 --> 03:11:55,360
give him the bird, we
