1
00:00:00,310 --> 00:00:02,330
It was unwatchable.

2
00:00:02,830 --> 00:00:04,270
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,430 --> 00:00:04,710
DeVora.

4
00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:06,710
Hey, it's Thursday, February 6th, 2025.

5
00:00:07,109 --> 00:00:08,850
This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media

6
00:00:08,850 --> 00:00:11,170
Assassination Episode 1736.

7
00:00:11,470 --> 00:00:13,070
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:14,410 --> 00:00:18,270
Dropping the G's and broadcasting live from the

9
00:00:18,270 --> 00:00:20,030
heart of the Texas Hill Country, here in

10
00:00:20,030 --> 00:00:21,010
FEMA Region No.

11
00:00:21,150 --> 00:00:22,610
6, in the morning, everybody.

12
00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:23,830
I'm Adam Curry.

13
00:00:24,250 --> 00:00:27,190
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're wondering

14
00:00:27,190 --> 00:00:29,190
whatever happened to the sock hop.

15
00:00:29,290 --> 00:00:30,130
I'm John C.

16
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:30,650
DeVorak.

17
00:00:31,150 --> 00:00:32,550
It's a crackpot in Boston.

18
00:00:32,890 --> 00:00:33,970
In the morning.

19
00:00:34,430 --> 00:00:35,370
Okay, Boomer.

20
00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:36,790
The sock hop?

21
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:38,490
What is that?

22
00:00:38,670 --> 00:00:40,970
The sock hop became the gig.

23
00:00:41,770 --> 00:00:42,650
It became the gig?

24
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:43,950
Yeah, it became the gig.

25
00:00:44,170 --> 00:00:45,010
The sock hop.

26
00:00:45,450 --> 00:00:46,470
It became the gig.

27
00:00:46,530 --> 00:00:47,090
It became the gig.

28
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:48,770
We're gonna go down to Anton's, check out

29
00:00:48,770 --> 00:00:49,230
the gig.

30
00:00:49,570 --> 00:00:49,790
Yeah.

31
00:00:50,890 --> 00:00:52,590
You know what a sock hop was?

32
00:00:52,590 --> 00:00:54,390
Yeah, a sock hop is where the Bobby

33
00:00:54,390 --> 00:00:56,170
socks would go and dance and hop on

34
00:00:56,170 --> 00:00:56,650
their socks.

35
00:00:57,850 --> 00:00:58,770
Yeah, I know.

36
00:00:58,830 --> 00:01:00,570
My mom used to talk about the sock

37
00:01:00,570 --> 00:01:01,210
hop all the time.

38
00:01:01,290 --> 00:01:02,270
What was the sock hop?

39
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:03,370
Please enlighten me.

40
00:01:03,390 --> 00:01:05,850
The sock hop was a dance that the

41
00:01:05,850 --> 00:01:08,370
schools, the high schools generally, but I would

42
00:01:08,370 --> 00:01:10,010
say grammar schools too, would put on.

43
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:10,370
Yeah.

44
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:12,190
In the gym.

45
00:01:12,530 --> 00:01:12,970
Yes.

46
00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:15,570
And they required everyone to wear socks so

47
00:01:15,570 --> 00:01:17,630
they didn't scratch up the gym floor with

48
00:01:17,630 --> 00:01:18,490
their shoes.

49
00:01:19,390 --> 00:01:21,410
Well, now that's interesting.

50
00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:25,120
I didn't know that.

51
00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:27,840
So you had to wear socks over your

52
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,980
shoes or just socks?

53
00:01:29,060 --> 00:01:30,580
No, no, you didn't wear shoes, you just

54
00:01:30,580 --> 00:01:31,060
had socks.

55
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,060
So the girls had socks, the guys, everyone

56
00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:33,700
wore socks.

57
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,560
It was just a dance with a bunch

58
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:37,780
of sock-wearing kids.

59
00:01:37,820 --> 00:01:39,660
Have you attended one of these sock hops?

60
00:01:39,660 --> 00:01:40,460
Of course I did.

61
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,960
We had sock hops all the time, almost

62
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:43,660
weekly.

63
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,020
Now, did you have to have the right

64
00:01:45,020 --> 00:01:46,880
kind of socks so people wouldn't point and

65
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,380
go, yeah, look at them socks?

66
00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:50,240
I mean, what was the protocol?

67
00:01:50,740 --> 00:01:52,800
That's actually an interesting point you just made

68
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,180
because that never happened.

69
00:01:54,580 --> 00:01:55,060
Really?

70
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:57,260
No one ever condemned the socks or even

71
00:01:57,260 --> 00:01:57,940
mentioned them.

72
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,320
Oh, socks had a better life back in

73
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,340
the 50s.

74
00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:04,420
I would say generally people wore gym socks,

75
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,980
like the white fluffy ones.

76
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:09,199
But my mom was a bobby sockser.

77
00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:10,920
That was just the form of socks that

78
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:11,780
were below the ankle.

79
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,020
That was just a sock type.

80
00:02:14,620 --> 00:02:15,100
Yes.

81
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,300
Bring back the bobby sock.

82
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,420
I think we should start that.

83
00:02:19,420 --> 00:02:20,760
Maybe Doge can help us.

84
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:22,580
Bring back the bobby sock.

85
00:02:23,260 --> 00:02:24,300
I'm going to sum up.

86
00:02:24,580 --> 00:02:25,960
This show is going to be very short.

87
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:28,060
We're going to end in one minute and

88
00:02:28,060 --> 00:02:29,160
13 seconds.

89
00:02:29,940 --> 00:02:31,520
I will sum up the news and then

90
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,560
everybody can go home.

91
00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:47,980
I gotta say, President Trump is brilliant.

92
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:51,580
He is, you know, and Musk is soaking

93
00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:52,040
it up.

94
00:03:52,380 --> 00:03:54,880
He thrives, he thrives on it.

95
00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:57,300
Oh, he's got him posted, he posts on

96
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:00,740
X Twitter, all his pictures of him, you

97
00:04:00,740 --> 00:04:02,560
know, jumping around while they're yelling at him.

98
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,580
You know, it's overlaid, of course.

99
00:04:05,740 --> 00:04:08,560
From the same era, the same genre, I

100
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,720
got this, not as good as that, that

101
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,480
was great, by the way.

102
00:04:11,540 --> 00:04:11,880
Thank you.

103
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,600
The Ranting Dems, play this, there's a Ranting

104
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,140
Dems about USAID.

105
00:04:16,459 --> 00:04:17,560
A lot of these are floating around.

106
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,700
This is just a segment of what could

107
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:20,380
be an hour.

108
00:04:20,540 --> 00:04:21,100
Oh, yeah.

109
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,400
We will not shut up.

110
00:04:23,740 --> 00:04:25,160
We will stand up.

111
00:04:25,780 --> 00:04:26,600
We will speak.

112
00:04:26,980 --> 00:04:29,260
Before we play, what I love so much

113
00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:30,900
about this is there was pretty much nobody

114
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:31,320
there.

115
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,760
There was more news media than crowd.

116
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,920
Later on in the evening, there was a

117
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,420
little bit more and, you know, that moveon

118
00:04:38,420 --> 00:04:41,520
.org was sending out stuff and I was

119
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,840
looking on the Blue Cry.

120
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:45,580
By the way, what a mistake.

121
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:46,740
I clicked on a link.

122
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,640
Someone sent me, it was for a Blue

123
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,280
Cry link.

124
00:04:50,620 --> 00:04:51,820
Oh, my Lord.

125
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,060
Everything there is just...

126
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,780
And it was like, we didn't elect Elon.

127
00:05:02,340 --> 00:05:02,740
We got...

128
00:05:02,740 --> 00:05:06,580
And this is before this very, very sad

129
00:05:06,580 --> 00:05:09,620
demonstration by the Democrat Party, mainly.

130
00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:12,000
We will not shut up.

131
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,840
We will stand up.

132
00:05:13,940 --> 00:05:15,680
We will speak up.

133
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,520
We will rise up.

134
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,840
What's dangerous is that people who work for

135
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:24,780
USAID are wearing masks to protect themselves from

136
00:05:24,780 --> 00:05:25,200
Musk.

137
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,040
This is a dictatorship in the making.

138
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,420
We're not going to have apartheid in America

139
00:05:33,420 --> 00:05:34,460
anymore.

140
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:38,100
Elon Musk has not been elected to anything.

141
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,040
And who the hell does Musk think he

142
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,420
is?

143
00:05:41,420 --> 00:05:45,740
He has absolutely no right in shutting down

144
00:05:45,740 --> 00:05:46,920
USAID.

145
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,060
We cannot allow that.

146
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:50,720
We've got to take to the streets.

147
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,120
But my kickbacks, my kickbacks.

148
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,580
Even CNN.

149
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:01,240
CNN was laughing at them.

150
00:06:01,460 --> 00:06:03,100
This was surprising to me.

151
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,700
Even though it has that Scott guy, whatever,

152
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:07,580
who's on the panel.

153
00:06:07,580 --> 00:06:12,860
It's pretty much all Democrat operatives at the

154
00:06:12,860 --> 00:06:13,260
table.

155
00:06:14,060 --> 00:06:15,020
And here it is.

156
00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:16,800
Democrats agree that Musk is a problem.

157
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:17,980
But listen to them today.

158
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:20,400
And they have a pinata in search of

159
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:20,800
a stick.

160
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:22,580
To our Republican colleagues.

161
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,580
If you do not see the light, we

162
00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:27,000
will bring the fire.

163
00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:28,540
Resist!

164
00:06:28,780 --> 00:06:30,460
We are going to be in your face.

165
00:06:30,580 --> 00:06:32,200
We are going to be on your asses.

166
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,980
We have days to stop the destruction of

167
00:06:34,980 --> 00:06:35,700
our democracy.

168
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:37,080
We have work to do.

169
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:40,940
Tell Elon Musk to take his hands off

170
00:06:40,940 --> 00:06:41,860
your money.

171
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,160
We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy 22

172
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,740
-year-olds working for Elon Musk.

173
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:49,200
We pledge allegiance to the United States of

174
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:49,700
America.

175
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,840
And God damn it, shut down USAID.

176
00:06:52,460 --> 00:06:54,420
We are at war.

177
00:06:54,620 --> 00:06:56,020
We will win.

178
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,560
We will win.

179
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:07,500
I'm so sorry.

180
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:08,500
Can we play it again?

181
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,620
Democrats need a real leader.

182
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,440
They need a real leader which currently does

183
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,440
not exist in the Democratic Party.

184
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,580
And they have been caught completely flat-footed

185
00:07:19,580 --> 00:07:23,260
with the entire Trump presidency for the last

186
00:07:23,260 --> 00:07:23,700
two weeks.

187
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:24,620
And Elon Musk.

188
00:07:24,860 --> 00:07:27,280
I said on CNN months ago that Elon

189
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,520
Musk would be the most influential advisor to

190
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:30,140
President Trump.

191
00:07:30,220 --> 00:07:31,900
And that is proving to be true.

192
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Whether you like it or not.

193
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,720
But Democrats should have had a plan for

194
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:35,940
this.

195
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:37,280
They knew it was coming.

196
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,800
We say this every single night.

197
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,200
We knew it.

198
00:07:41,140 --> 00:07:43,680
Trump has said all of these things were

199
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,600
going to happen.

200
00:07:44,980 --> 00:07:46,960
We saw him align with Elon Musk which

201
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,220
may go down as the smartest thing that

202
00:07:49,220 --> 00:07:51,420
any presidential candidate has ever done.

203
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,560
From the young vote to tech to a

204
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,560
million other things.

205
00:07:56,140 --> 00:07:58,260
So Democrats needed to have a plan.

206
00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,600
And it may be too late.

207
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,280
Bakari, are you fired up?

208
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:03,620
I'm fired up and ready to go.

209
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,020
Can't you see it in my face?

210
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:06,300
Bakari.

211
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,480
So when CNN's laughing at you, you've really

212
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,600
missed the mark.

213
00:08:12,820 --> 00:08:15,660
You know the funny thing is, I got

214
00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:17,260
a note from one of our producers saying,

215
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,340
I'm glad you were wrong about Doge.

216
00:08:20,860 --> 00:08:21,300
What?

217
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,700
Yeah, because if you recall me, I was

218
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:28,600
saying, well, you know, when first the whole

219
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,020
idea came about, I said, yeah, this is

220
00:08:30,020 --> 00:08:31,039
a lot of talk and action.

221
00:08:31,140 --> 00:08:32,820
I went and I discussed about this, the

222
00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:33,720
Hoover Commission.

223
00:08:34,179 --> 00:08:36,460
And they've been trying to reform, you know,

224
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,140
push back on some of these reforms forever.

225
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,120
The Department of Education, they've been promising to

226
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,920
get rid of that since Reagan.

227
00:08:45,460 --> 00:08:47,360
Because you have to remember that Carter's the

228
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:47,980
one that put it in.

229
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,660
By the way, it was Kennedy who put

230
00:08:49,660 --> 00:08:50,620
in USAID.

231
00:08:50,940 --> 00:08:51,800
Yeah, we'll get to that.

232
00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:52,980
We're going to get to USAID.

233
00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:54,900
I got a lot of USAID stuff.

234
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:55,460
Of course you do.

235
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:55,980
Of course you do.

236
00:08:56,260 --> 00:09:00,360
So I was skeptical saying, well, you know,

237
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:02,580
I've heard this lot of talk.

238
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,820
I've seen it over the years.

239
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,220
You know, I'm an old fart.

240
00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:06,980
And I've seen all this stuff.

241
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:07,760
Old fart.

242
00:09:08,540 --> 00:09:10,580
And the guy says, you know, I'm glad

243
00:09:10,580 --> 00:09:11,080
you were wrong.

244
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,380
And I said, I am too.

245
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,620
And I realized this is what happened to

246
00:09:14,620 --> 00:09:15,560
the Democrats also.

247
00:09:15,620 --> 00:09:17,640
Because they had to be in the same

248
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,660
boat thinking, ah, big talkers.

249
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:21,460
Oh, Doge, OK, whatever.

250
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:24,600
Vivek already quit.

251
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,480
And so nothing's going to happen.

252
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,460
Who knew this was going to fall apart

253
00:09:28,460 --> 00:09:29,040
like it did?

254
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,660
Not Doge, but the USAID and God knows

255
00:09:32,660 --> 00:09:33,760
what else is next.

256
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,500
Well, OK.

257
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,760
So that's what I'm talking about.

258
00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:40,000
And I think you do have to admit

259
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,740
at this point that we are indeed in

260
00:09:42,740 --> 00:09:45,580
the season of reveal.

261
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,320
There's stuff being revealed.

262
00:09:49,460 --> 00:09:49,980
Yes.

263
00:09:49,980 --> 00:09:52,120
Yes, there's stuff being revealed that even I

264
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,320
wasn't aware of.

265
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:56,400
You know, like the Politico thing is amazing.

266
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,660
I've got clips on that, too.

267
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,000
I'll lead you in.

268
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,980
First, let me just do the best line

269
00:10:02,980 --> 00:10:07,940
outside USAID with the Democrat Party was Ayanna

270
00:10:07,940 --> 00:10:08,220
Pressley.

271
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,360
I think she had a really good line.

272
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,820
We will see you in the courts, in

273
00:10:12,820 --> 00:10:14,720
Congress, in the streets.

274
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:18,540
Elon Musk is a Nazi netball baby.

275
00:10:20,820 --> 00:10:22,620
A Nazi netball baby.

276
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:23,720
I don't even know where she gets the

277
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,640
netball part from.

278
00:10:25,180 --> 00:10:26,020
But that was a good line.

279
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,560
What is she talking about, though?

280
00:10:28,660 --> 00:10:29,320
What is netball?

281
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,640
Nepotism is what that refers to, I'm guessing.

282
00:10:31,980 --> 00:10:34,900
Yeah, a netball baby is typically used in

283
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:38,700
show business for somebody whose kid becomes an

284
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:39,660
actor and you're an actor.

285
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,840
But what, Elon Musk's dad was a rocket

286
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,320
scientist?

287
00:10:43,540 --> 00:10:44,400
What's she talking about?

288
00:10:44,460 --> 00:10:45,240
I don't know, but it was still good.

289
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,160
And in the Netherlands, the Tesla showroom was

290
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,000
vandalized with Nazi imagery.

291
00:10:50,180 --> 00:10:50,820
So it's starting.

292
00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:51,740
It's starting.

293
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,000
They're striking out against Elon.

294
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:55,840
I'm going to lead you into USAID.

295
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:56,760
Wait a minute.

296
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,280
What?

297
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,320
Yeah, I know.

298
00:10:59,120 --> 00:10:59,720
Because he's a Nazi.

299
00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:01,080
What has the Netherlands got to do with

300
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,020
the price of bread?

301
00:11:02,580 --> 00:11:04,440
Look, they have a Tesla showroom.

302
00:11:05,060 --> 00:11:05,780
Elon's a Nazi.

303
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,660
The Dutch want their bikes back.

304
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:08,560
So get out of here.

305
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,940
I mean, it makes no sense.

306
00:11:11,060 --> 00:11:13,740
This is just vandalism for vandalism's sake.

307
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:16,100
It's not like it's bothering them.

308
00:11:16,180 --> 00:11:17,200
They've got their own problems.

309
00:11:17,740 --> 00:11:18,600
That's probably what it is.

310
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,160
We're so frustrated that our country's going down

311
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:21,560
the tubes.

312
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,640
We're going to call out Elon.

313
00:11:24,140 --> 00:11:24,660
I don't know.

314
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,980
I'm going to take you into USAID with

315
00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:32,240
a nice little transitionary clip from your man,

316
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:32,800
Capehart.

317
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,360
You always say my buddy.

318
00:11:34,460 --> 00:11:35,380
Your man, Capehart.

319
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,140
You're the guy who brought Capehart to everyone's

320
00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:37,560
attention.

321
00:11:38,540 --> 00:11:40,220
He has, he just, it was, I mean,

322
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:40,740
he is.

323
00:11:41,220 --> 00:11:42,960
And the line is your buddy.

324
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,320
Yeah, your buddy.

325
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:46,560
He's gone flamboyant on everybody.

326
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,740
President Trump's aggressive efforts to undermine federal agencies

327
00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:51,420
with the help of Elon Musk.

328
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:54,060
His latest victim is the U.S. Agency

329
00:11:54,060 --> 00:11:57,900
for International Development, or USAID, a government agency

330
00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:00,860
that provides development and humanitarian assistance to countries

331
00:12:00,860 --> 00:12:01,740
around the world.

332
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,780
Last night, the administration removed two of the

333
00:12:05,780 --> 00:12:09,620
agency's top security officials after they refused to

334
00:12:09,620 --> 00:12:13,420
allow four representatives from Elon Musk's Department of

335
00:12:13,420 --> 00:12:14,400
Government Efficiency.

336
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,040
They call it DOGE.

337
00:12:21,860 --> 00:12:25,640
To access its offices, classified personnel files, and

338
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,120
security systems that were reportedly beyond their own

339
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,160
security levels.

340
00:12:30,260 --> 00:12:30,520
Oh, no.

341
00:12:30,580 --> 00:12:32,640
In addition, most of the staff at the

342
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,120
agency's Legislative and Public Affairs Bureau was placed

343
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,440
on administrative leave Saturday night.

344
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:42,220
This afternoon, Musk referred to USAID as a,

345
00:12:42,580 --> 00:12:46,360
quote, criminal organization, adding that it was, quote,

346
00:12:46,580 --> 00:12:48,240
time for it to die.

347
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,080
The agency's ex-account has since disappeared, and

348
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,500
the website USAID.gov is offline.

349
00:12:55,740 --> 00:12:58,600
In addition, across the Justice Department and the

350
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,800
FBI, prosecutors, agents, and leaders are facing down

351
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,060
the looming threat of being fired by the

352
00:13:04,060 --> 00:13:07,760
administration and replaced by, replaced with loyalists.

353
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,280
Loyalists!

354
00:13:09,540 --> 00:13:10,020
Loyalists!

355
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,640
Loyalists, because he's a Nazi dictator.

356
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:13,680
Loyalists.

357
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,920
Okay, just briefly on USAID, and then I

358
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:17,760
want you to start with me.

359
00:13:17,780 --> 00:13:18,840
I got a couple too, but I want

360
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:19,260
you to start.

361
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,480
We have been talking, this is bad for

362
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:22,820
the show.

363
00:13:22,820 --> 00:13:26,740
We have been moaning about USAID, how they

364
00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:30,720
have been starting color revolutions, disrupting countries around

365
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,500
the world, what a secretive organization it is

366
00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:35,260
with a whole bunch of douchebags in it

367
00:13:35,260 --> 00:13:37,160
for the entire length of this show.

368
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:38,860
And now they're going to get rid of

369
00:13:38,860 --> 00:13:39,060
it?

370
00:13:39,620 --> 00:13:40,600
This is a problem.

371
00:13:40,780 --> 00:13:41,780
It's bad for the show.

372
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:45,500
Well, I never thought about it that way.

373
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,580
We had, in fact, a guy that used

374
00:13:47,580 --> 00:13:48,800
to listen to the show, used to be

375
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,100
a friend of the show, the economic hit

376
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:51,340
man.

377
00:13:51,340 --> 00:13:54,300
Yes, he went off the radar.

378
00:13:54,460 --> 00:13:54,880
I don't know what happened.

379
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:55,520
Overboard.

380
00:13:55,780 --> 00:13:56,180
He didn't like us.

381
00:13:56,180 --> 00:13:57,440
Well, he went to USAID.

382
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,760
And after we started moaning about USAID, he

383
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,760
stopped emailing us.

384
00:14:03,460 --> 00:14:05,400
No, we were always, we were moaning about

385
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,200
USAID probably for a decade or longer.

386
00:14:08,260 --> 00:14:09,720
Yeah, but then he went to work for

387
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:09,820
them.

388
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:10,360
He's like, hey.

389
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,940
Well, I think what happened, he also ran

390
00:14:12,940 --> 00:14:15,880
into, at least a part-time girlfriend, was

391
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,080
this Russian spook for the State Department.

392
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,100
Yes, State Department spook.

393
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:21,540
And she told him not to listen to

394
00:14:21,540 --> 00:14:22,140
this show.

395
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:24,420
We have, this happens once in a while.

396
00:14:26,860 --> 00:14:32,100
Just as a point of order, USAID was

397
00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:36,280
started by executive order by President Kennedy.

398
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,500
Congress then created the Foreign Assistance Act, which

399
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:45,760
made money available, not that Congress doesn't, in

400
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,820
that act did not specify where it's going,

401
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:49,060
but saying, oh, here's this money.

402
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,660
And the president is the one who has

403
00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:54,660
the authority to say where the money is

404
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:54,980
going.

405
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:56,900
And at the time in the executive order,

406
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,920
on a permanent basis, President Kennedy delegated that

407
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,860
authority to the Secretary of State.

408
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,000
And that's why there's always been this spooky

409
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,940
connection between CIA, of course, we know, embassies

410
00:15:09,940 --> 00:15:13,780
in foreign countries, which are run by the

411
00:15:13,780 --> 00:15:16,980
State Department, are the safe house for intelligence

412
00:15:16,980 --> 00:15:17,660
assets.

413
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,900
And kind of their front of house is

414
00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:27,660
USAID, run by Samantha Powers most recently.

415
00:15:28,420 --> 00:15:32,060
Victoria Nuland is the ambassador or whatever, or

416
00:15:32,060 --> 00:15:34,060
was the ambassador to USAID.

417
00:15:34,660 --> 00:15:37,560
So this is all the wrong people, all

418
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:37,960
of them.

419
00:15:39,660 --> 00:15:42,840
Yes, Samantha Power married to Cass Sunstein.

420
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,680
Is it Sustine or Sunstein?

421
00:15:44,780 --> 00:15:45,900
I think it's Sunstein.

422
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:46,980
Well, whatever.

423
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,760
I thought it was Sustine.

424
00:15:49,140 --> 00:15:50,640
Sunstein, Sunstein, Sunstein.

425
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,540
Marxist, a Marxist.

426
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,300
Yeah, Marxist and one of the early targets

427
00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:59,480
of Glenn Beck, along with Soros.

428
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,800
And Beck seems to have backed off on

429
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,020
his old thesis.

430
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,560
When he was working for Fox, he would

431
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,720
always have a bunch of arrows.

432
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:08,880
The blackboard.

433
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,380
The blackboard with arrows going every which way.

434
00:16:11,380 --> 00:16:12,760
And it always pointed to one of two

435
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,280
people, Cass Sunstein or Soros.

436
00:16:16,980 --> 00:16:18,840
Usually Soros at the end, I would say.

437
00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:20,540
Yeah, Soros was usually the big boy.

438
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,060
Yeah, the big boy.

439
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:23,860
It was pretty funny.

440
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,160
But she was the ambassador to the UN.

441
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,920
She's a sad sack looking redhead that just,

442
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,440
you know, Irish.

443
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,920
She's not even born here.

444
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,420
She was born in London, I think.

445
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,340
You know, she just posted on X that

446
00:16:36,340 --> 00:16:37,100
she got fired.

447
00:16:37,180 --> 00:16:37,780
Do you want to hear it?

448
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:39,220
I'd love to hear it.

449
00:16:39,220 --> 00:16:40,020
I have not seen it.

450
00:16:40,020 --> 00:16:43,160
Well, you can imagine when you suddenly in

451
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,380
your inbox find a termination notice or a

452
00:16:47,380 --> 00:16:50,100
leave of absence notice that you didn't expect

453
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:53,880
to get on a flawed predicate that you're

454
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,440
doing radical leftist insubordination.

455
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,240
It's pretty jarring.

456
00:16:58,540 --> 00:17:01,460
And because there's so many lies and falsehoods

457
00:17:01,460 --> 00:17:05,540
circulating and so many claims that people are

458
00:17:05,540 --> 00:17:08,220
sort of not with the program, I think

459
00:17:08,220 --> 00:17:09,880
people are just completely dislocated.

460
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,859
There's no stable ground on which to walk.

461
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:13,300
No.

462
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,359
And then, of course, most of them have

463
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,380
been laid off, so they're worried about how

464
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:18,500
they're going to pay the bills and how

465
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:19,240
they're going to make rent.

466
00:17:19,740 --> 00:17:22,319
But maybe the part that is the most

467
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:25,319
striking and, for me, inspiring, if not surprising,

468
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,260
having worked there for four years, is that,

469
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:30,340
you know, the people who work at USAID

470
00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:31,660
did not come to work at USAID for

471
00:17:31,660 --> 00:17:32,000
the money.

472
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:35,000
The civil servants, the foreign servants, the contractors.

473
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:35,640
The parties.

474
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,060
They came to USAID because they wanted to

475
00:17:38,060 --> 00:17:39,560
make a difference in the world, because they

476
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,380
saw America's interests as tied up with the

477
00:17:43,380 --> 00:17:46,480
interests of people, vulnerable people around the world.

478
00:17:47,220 --> 00:17:49,140
And so even as they're struggling to figure

479
00:17:49,140 --> 00:17:50,460
out how to make rent, all of a

480
00:17:50,460 --> 00:17:56,100
sudden they're most struggling with the fear that

481
00:17:56,100 --> 00:17:59,080
so many millions of people who relied on

482
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,080
us as a country, on USAID as an

483
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,960
agency, but on them as individuals, that those

484
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,900
individuals out in the world have no place

485
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:07,360
to turn.

486
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:09,340
And, indeed, they're showing up and finding health

487
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:14,160
clinics shuttered and soup kitchens closed and advisers

488
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,680
who are helping governments renegotiate debt with China.

489
00:18:18,260 --> 00:18:21,340
Those advisers, you know, now taken off the

490
00:18:21,340 --> 00:18:21,620
books.

491
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,160
So just the wreckage in the world is

492
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,920
what the USAID staff that I'm in touch

493
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,840
with are carrying with them.

494
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,160
That's what's keeping them up at night as

495
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,320
much as the question of what am I

496
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,020
going to do tomorrow and, you know, how

497
00:18:36,020 --> 00:18:37,180
do I take care of my family.

498
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:37,520
Yeah.

499
00:18:37,780 --> 00:18:38,580
Projection much?

500
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:39,940
How am I going to get it?

501
00:18:39,940 --> 00:18:40,740
What am I going to do?

502
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:41,700
What am I going to do tomorrow?

503
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:42,560
I don't know what I'm going to do.

504
00:18:43,740 --> 00:18:45,080
So, okay.

505
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,320
Really the most surprising thing, and then I

506
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,340
want you to play your clips.

507
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,520
The most surprising thing really was Politico, because

508
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,000
that was supposed to have gone out the

509
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,100
door with the church commission.

510
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:01,840
There was not supposed to be funding of

511
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,360
news organizations from government money, you know, except

512
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:10,300
for our public broadcasters, PBS and the National

513
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:11,320
Treasure, NPR.

514
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,440
But what an interesting gambit to have a

515
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,360
thousand subscriptions to Politico.

516
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:20,420
And now I'm thinking maybe we'll uncover some

517
00:19:20,420 --> 00:19:23,480
book purchases that were done, you know, to

518
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,300
get some people up into the top of

519
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:26,660
the New York Times.

520
00:19:26,660 --> 00:19:27,840
That's so obvious.

521
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:30,500
Oh yeah, let's give Michelle Obama half a

522
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:33,180
million dollars to, or half.

523
00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:34,060
What am I thinking?

524
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:36,540
Millions of dollars to do a book nobody

525
00:19:36,540 --> 00:19:37,100
reads.

526
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,560
Let's give her a Netflix conflict.

527
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:41,460
I think the Netflix deals are the ones

528
00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:42,960
that are the more extreme.

529
00:19:44,180 --> 00:19:45,920
No, but I mean them, the state of

530
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,160
USAID actually buying up books.

531
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:49,020
Yeah.

532
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:50,600
You know, that's...

533
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,100
There's no, when they start digging into this,

534
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,660
it's going to go beyond USAID too, because

535
00:19:55,660 --> 00:19:58,000
you are, as my clips, I'll have the

536
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,840
USAID clips, and I got to play a

537
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,860
couple others right after them, which indicate that

538
00:20:02,860 --> 00:20:05,380
the Pentagon and elsewhere is all part of

539
00:20:05,380 --> 00:20:05,500
this.

540
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,420
Well, save some room for my USAID clips.

541
00:20:09,020 --> 00:20:10,940
Well, what USAID, why don't you play yours

542
00:20:10,940 --> 00:20:12,220
first, and then I can, because mine are

543
00:20:12,220 --> 00:20:15,540
more, I'd say mine are highly entertaining.

544
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,500
But well, okay, we'll start.

545
00:20:16,860 --> 00:20:17,900
Let's start with these.

546
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:18,300
Okay.

547
00:20:18,580 --> 00:20:21,180
This is, now, I got these, now this

548
00:20:21,180 --> 00:20:23,680
is actually Jesse Waters, okay?

549
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:24,500
Yeah, okay.

550
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:25,480
Okay, okay.

551
00:20:25,580 --> 00:20:27,000
Okay, right, look.

552
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,360
So Jesse Waters on Monday did a takedown

553
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:31,760
of USAID.

554
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,580
This is why it's hilarious, because Jesse Waters

555
00:20:34,580 --> 00:20:37,100
is a smug, and he likes doing this

556
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:37,640
kind of bit.

557
00:20:38,340 --> 00:20:39,680
So I said, oh, this is good, I'm

558
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:40,640
going to get this for the show.

559
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,040
And then Tuesday comes along.

560
00:20:43,180 --> 00:20:43,380
Yeah.

561
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,360
He does another takedown, which is better.

562
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,220
I said, well, screw the Monday stuff, I'm

563
00:20:47,220 --> 00:20:47,900
going to do this.

564
00:20:47,980 --> 00:20:48,300
Okay.

565
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,500
Record a bunch of stuff, okay.

566
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,500
So yesterday...

567
00:20:51,060 --> 00:20:52,660
He does another one.

568
00:20:52,660 --> 00:20:54,020
Oh, brother.

569
00:20:54,260 --> 00:20:56,160
So I used this, and I had to,

570
00:20:56,260 --> 00:21:01,580
I realized editing his stuff, and you'll probably

571
00:21:01,580 --> 00:21:02,420
catch a few of them.

572
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,780
You know, he's got the best writers at

573
00:21:07,780 --> 00:21:10,680
Fox, I believe, because he's got the best

574
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,280
time slot.

575
00:21:11,580 --> 00:21:13,380
So they put the best guys there.

576
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,040
And, of course, they don't do credit roles,

577
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,620
so we have no idea who these writers

578
00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:18,920
are, and they don't get credited as typical

579
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,080
at Fox.

580
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,280
Fox, in particular, just tries to hide the

581
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:22,620
writers.

582
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,420
And I realized that, you know, you really

583
00:21:26,420 --> 00:21:28,900
have to take Jesse Waters' stuff and chop

584
00:21:28,900 --> 00:21:31,380
it up a lot, because he goes, he

585
00:21:31,380 --> 00:21:33,760
does little asides, and what he thinks is

586
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,260
funny, he's not really funny.

587
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,300
No, he needs to...

588
00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:38,560
He's just got that stupid look on his

589
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:38,800
face.

590
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,520
You know, he's got that Bugs Bunny look,

591
00:21:40,580 --> 00:21:41,800
and so he looks kind of amusing.

592
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,260
And he makes these cuts.

593
00:21:43,380 --> 00:21:45,160
So you cut all that stuff out, and

594
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,860
the presentation becomes pretty good.

595
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:47,300
All right.

596
00:21:47,940 --> 00:21:50,200
I'm just saying that in advance, because I

597
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,280
don't want to hear you say, Oh, I

598
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,460
heard a cut.

599
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:57,380
Well, you're dog-eared about dogs who perk

600
00:21:57,380 --> 00:21:57,480
up.

601
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,360
You never hear mine.

602
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,100
All right.

603
00:22:01,260 --> 00:22:01,660
It's okay.

604
00:22:01,860 --> 00:22:04,600
So I will not complain about your cuts.

605
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,520
It's probably...

606
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,940
They're pretty good.

607
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:09,420
Here's USAID one.

608
00:22:09,620 --> 00:22:10,680
This is the intro.

609
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,380
This is going to be four cuts from

610
00:22:13,380 --> 00:22:14,200
Jesse Waters.

611
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,660
Democrats were already losing their minds after Musk

612
00:22:17,660 --> 00:22:19,900
froze their foreign aid slush fund.

613
00:22:20,140 --> 00:22:22,620
Elon's the first government employee Democrats have ever

614
00:22:22,620 --> 00:22:23,180
won a fire.

615
00:22:23,860 --> 00:22:25,560
And he's not even taking a salary.

616
00:22:26,180 --> 00:22:28,660
We're 36 trillion in debt, and a few

617
00:22:28,660 --> 00:22:31,220
pennies got doged, and the Democrats are grabbing

618
00:22:31,220 --> 00:22:33,120
bullhorns like Bush after 9-11.

619
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:37,460
Doge froze a $40 billion deep state super

620
00:22:37,460 --> 00:22:40,420
PAC and put 10,000 bureaucrats on paid

621
00:22:40,420 --> 00:22:40,740
leave.

622
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,220
And it happened so fast, one worker had

623
00:22:43,220 --> 00:22:46,180
to be rehired to process people's final timesheets.

624
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,040
All the expensive artwork hanging in the agency

625
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,120
headquarters has been taken down and sold at

626
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:51,440
auction.

627
00:22:51,660 --> 00:22:52,520
The website's down.

628
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,000
And there's no more Burt and Ernie in

629
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:55,520
Baghdad.

630
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,220
I would just say a strong message to

631
00:22:57,220 --> 00:23:00,800
Democrats who are out there pretending to be

632
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,140
outraged about the long list of crop that

633
00:23:04,140 --> 00:23:07,180
this administration is cutting, federal waste in funding,

634
00:23:07,260 --> 00:23:10,340
like $2 million for sex changes in Guatemala,

635
00:23:10,340 --> 00:23:13,600
$6 million to fund tourism in Egypt, $20

636
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,940
million on a new Sesame Street show in

637
00:23:15,940 --> 00:23:19,860
Iraq, $4.5 million to combat disinformation in

638
00:23:19,860 --> 00:23:20,320
Kazakhstan.

639
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,460
I could go on and on, and I'm

640
00:23:22,460 --> 00:23:24,000
happy to provide this list to every single

641
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:24,460
one of you.

642
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:27,480
Democrats are outraged that the American people want

643
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,040
to be, they want their taxpayers going to

644
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,040
good uses, not stuff like this.

645
00:23:32,180 --> 00:23:34,800
We've literally devolved into a meme war.

646
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,240
This is so interesting.

647
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:41,240
And leave it to Beaver.

648
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,180
I have no idea.

649
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:43,960
I'll tell you this.

650
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,260
I love this woman.

651
00:23:45,660 --> 00:23:48,280
She is, like, young, and she doesn't use

652
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:48,900
a binder.

653
00:23:49,780 --> 00:23:51,860
No, she's got it all in her noggin.

654
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:53,920
She's got it in her knower.

655
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,460
And she doesn't put up with any guff.

656
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,360
She's the perfect foil for Trump.

657
00:24:01,180 --> 00:24:02,940
I think she ad-libs stuff.

658
00:24:03,020 --> 00:24:04,700
She says stuff that I'm sure that if

659
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:08,500
it was a male, press guy, that Trump

660
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:09,200
would chew him out.

661
00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:11,340
Trump's, I think, a little more liberal with

662
00:24:11,340 --> 00:24:11,760
women.

663
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:14,200
He treats them slightly differently.

664
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,020
And he lets her do her thing.

665
00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:20,320
But she's good, because these are all minor

666
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,360
numbers in the grand scheme of things, but

667
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:25,360
this is exactly the stuff that highly intelligent

668
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:27,120
people, did you hear about that?

669
00:24:27,180 --> 00:24:29,580
They're $2 million for six change operations in

670
00:24:29,580 --> 00:24:29,920
Guatemala.

671
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,380
You know, it's like, that is the smallest

672
00:24:32,380 --> 00:24:34,480
of the grievances.

673
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,480
Yeah, well, we get a few more here,

674
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,460
because Jesse brings a few into the picture,

675
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,340
that many of, like, the art stuff, I

676
00:24:41,340 --> 00:24:42,000
haven't heard of.

677
00:24:42,020 --> 00:24:43,240
And here we go, it's clip two.

678
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:44,480
But we can add some more to the

679
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:44,760
list.

680
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,140
$43 million on a gas station in Afghanistan

681
00:24:48,140 --> 00:24:49,380
that had no customers.

682
00:24:50,220 --> 00:24:52,360
Still less, though, than what Biden paid for

683
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:53,520
a charging station here.

684
00:24:54,140 --> 00:24:57,060
$1.5 million to promote gays, lesbians, and

685
00:24:57,060 --> 00:24:58,220
trans in Jamaica.

686
00:24:58,620 --> 00:25:00,700
$4 million for trans Serbians.

687
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:04,080
$5.5 million for gay rights in Uganda.

688
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,600
Over $6 million for men who have sex

689
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,060
with men in South Africa.

690
00:25:09,540 --> 00:25:10,800
That's just how it was described.

691
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,420
$17 million to promote inclusion in Vietnam.

692
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,880
It's just probably another way of saying it

693
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,560
went to trans.

694
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:20,540
We carpet-bond them, and then we paid

695
00:25:20,540 --> 00:25:21,340
them the cross-dress.

696
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,320
$25 million to promote green transportation in Georgia,

697
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:27,080
not the state, the country.

698
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,020
And it's not like we took the money

699
00:25:29,020 --> 00:25:30,200
and bought them electric cars.

700
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,560
We just paid a shady agency to put

701
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,520
up a billboard that says, buy electric cars.

702
00:25:35,780 --> 00:25:38,120
$1 million for Arab and Jewish photographers.

703
00:25:38,740 --> 00:25:39,580
Are you Jewish?

704
00:25:39,740 --> 00:25:40,300
Are you Arab?

705
00:25:40,460 --> 00:25:41,160
Do you have cameras?

706
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,080
Here's a check.

707
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,020
$8 million to teach Sri Lankan journalists how

708
00:25:46,020 --> 00:25:47,940
to avoid binary gendered language.

709
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,060
Translation, we spent $8 million so that a

710
00:25:51,060 --> 00:25:53,020
reporter in Sri Lanka doesn't write he or

711
00:25:53,020 --> 00:25:53,400
she.

712
00:25:53,660 --> 00:25:55,180
Well, at least nobody died, right?

713
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:55,960
Wrong.

714
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,540
$122 million of the USAID money was given

715
00:25:59,540 --> 00:26:00,340
to terrorists.

716
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,220
The Taliban is taxpayer-funded.

717
00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:05,520
So was the Wuhan lab, so we're on

718
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:05,840
a roll.

719
00:26:06,140 --> 00:26:08,380
The people spending the money can't even tell

720
00:26:08,380 --> 00:26:10,120
you why they're spending the money.

721
00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:14,480
USAID awarded $2 million to strengthen trans-led

722
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,020
organizations to deliver gender-affirming health care in

723
00:26:18,020 --> 00:26:18,400
Guatemala.

724
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,100
So to each of you this morning, does

725
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:24,260
this advance the interests of American citizens paying

726
00:26:24,260 --> 00:26:26,420
for trannies in Guatemala to the tune of

727
00:26:26,420 --> 00:26:27,240
$2 million?

728
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:28,820
Yes or no, Governor?

729
00:26:29,260 --> 00:26:30,320
I have no position.

730
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:31,620
Of course you don't.

731
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:37,120
This is clearly all these NGOs and non

732
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:38,660
-profits and they just took money.

733
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:39,760
They just took money.

734
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:42,740
This has always been the pipeline that we've

735
00:26:42,740 --> 00:26:45,560
always identified as the problem is non-profits

736
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,440
and non-governmental organizations all around the world

737
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,480
who are taking this money and doing nefarious...

738
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,880
Our money, our taxpayer money.

739
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:53,380
Yes.

740
00:26:53,860 --> 00:26:56,340
And also our taxpayer money's debt.

741
00:26:56,900 --> 00:26:58,580
Yes, yes, our printed money.

742
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,440
And just taking it for themselves.

743
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,780
If you dig deep, this is where you

744
00:27:04,780 --> 00:27:06,900
see cousins and aunts and uncles.

745
00:27:07,140 --> 00:27:09,960
Just a 46-second from President Trump just

746
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,020
to interject in between these clips, if you

747
00:27:12,020 --> 00:27:12,320
don't mind.

748
00:27:12,380 --> 00:27:12,700
Yes.

749
00:27:12,980 --> 00:27:14,480
Look at all the fraud that he's found

750
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,560
in this USAID.

751
00:27:17,460 --> 00:27:20,920
It's a disaster what the people, radical left

752
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,220
lunatics, they have things that nobody would have

753
00:27:24,220 --> 00:27:25,020
even believed.

754
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,500
The whole thing with $100 million spent on

755
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:31,140
you-know-what with money going to all

756
00:27:31,140 --> 00:27:32,960
sorts of groups that shouldn't deserve to get

757
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,540
any money with the money.

758
00:27:34,660 --> 00:27:36,320
I'd like to see what the kickbacks are.

759
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,060
How much money has been kicked back?

760
00:27:38,140 --> 00:27:40,340
Who would spend that kind of money to

761
00:27:40,340 --> 00:27:41,920
some of the things that you read about

762
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,380
and I read about and I see every

763
00:27:43,380 --> 00:27:44,960
night on the news and every morning when

764
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,700
I read the papers?

765
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,680
Who would spend money for that?

766
00:27:48,120 --> 00:27:50,440
I would say this, the people that got

767
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,280
all that money, are they kicking it back

768
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,320
to the people that gave it from government?

769
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,300
No, that's, to me, very, very corrupt.

770
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,000
Yeah, I think that put some people on

771
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,080
notice.

772
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:03,440
Yeah.

773
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,980
So this, it is kind of an exciting

774
00:28:05,980 --> 00:28:06,960
time.

775
00:28:07,180 --> 00:28:08,500
But I have to say.

776
00:28:09,060 --> 00:28:11,620
It is the season of reveal, John, come

777
00:28:11,620 --> 00:28:11,840
on.

778
00:28:12,540 --> 00:28:13,860
You're going to have to admit it sooner

779
00:28:13,860 --> 00:28:14,260
or later.

780
00:28:17,540 --> 00:28:18,800
You're never going to admit it.

781
00:28:19,140 --> 00:28:22,600
All right, we'll go to USAID bit three.

782
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:23,660
Is that where we're at?

783
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,300
Yeah, bit three.

784
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,520
Despite the blatant waste and corruption, there's a

785
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,340
sinister side to all of the gay, lesbian

786
00:28:29,340 --> 00:28:31,600
and trans money we're funneling into other countries.

787
00:28:31,820 --> 00:28:32,840
It's subversive.

788
00:28:33,140 --> 00:28:35,760
It undermines their traditional culture, their religions and

789
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:36,760
their governing authority.

790
00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:39,960
It divides these countries, it distracts them and

791
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,700
makes it easier for our government to exploit

792
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:42,980
them.

793
00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:46,420
David Axelrod told Democrats who are defending this

794
00:28:46,420 --> 00:28:48,440
stuff, you're walking into a trap.

795
00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:51,120
Rahm Emanuel says you don't have to fight

796
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,000
every fight.

797
00:28:52,460 --> 00:28:54,580
Wasteful spending isn't the hill I'm going to

798
00:28:54,580 --> 00:28:55,080
die on.

799
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:58,120
But trans operas in Colombia are the hill

800
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,980
Democrats have chosen to die on.

801
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:01,440
Are they getting kickbacks?

802
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,380
We're about to find out.

803
00:29:03,740 --> 00:29:06,060
Democrats have been sending your tax dollars to

804
00:29:06,060 --> 00:29:08,100
the World Economic Forum so they can tell

805
00:29:08,100 --> 00:29:09,100
us to eat bugs.

806
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:13,220
The George Soros Prosecutor Fund got $26 million

807
00:29:13,220 --> 00:29:16,280
of your money to what, open jails?

808
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,600
USAID brags about overthrowing governments.

809
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:24,240
They bragged about supporting military coups and color

810
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,920
revolutions in the Middle East, Asia and Ukraine.

811
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,840
And we just found out the Biden administration

812
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,820
was paying the press.

813
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,320
During the last four years, Politico received $26

814
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,280
million from the federal government.

815
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,900
$8 million just last year.

816
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,180
The Biden administration was paying a DC insider

817
00:29:44,180 --> 00:29:47,740
publication that happened to never report anything bad

818
00:29:47,740 --> 00:29:49,200
about the Biden administration.

819
00:29:49,660 --> 00:29:51,460
The whole thing is a racket.

820
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,480
This was a bailout.

821
00:29:54,260 --> 00:29:56,500
Biden's government didn't need this.

822
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,280
It's a payoff product.

823
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,040
Because when they started paying at Politico, they

824
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:02,920
tanked the laptop.

825
00:30:03,660 --> 00:30:05,540
They covered up Biden's nap times.

826
00:30:06,660 --> 00:30:11,100
The USAID chief, Samantha Power, Politico wrote a

827
00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:13,200
puff piece about her, called her a celebrity.

828
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,260
Have you ever heard of celebrity Samantha Power?

829
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,900
I'm a little disappointed at ourselves.

830
00:30:21,140 --> 00:30:23,620
We have so often discussed Politico.

831
00:30:24,420 --> 00:30:26,860
And I kept saying, who owns them?

832
00:30:26,980 --> 00:30:28,720
And then you'd always come back, no, no,

833
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,700
they're their own thing.

834
00:30:30,780 --> 00:30:31,840
They stand by themselves.

835
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,200
And now we could have figured this one

836
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:35,400
out.

837
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,440
Because of course, basically a blog with too

838
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,980
many people working there, it could never be

839
00:30:41,980 --> 00:30:43,340
so self-sustainable.

840
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,300
We should have sniffed that one.

841
00:30:45,980 --> 00:30:46,700
We should have.

842
00:30:46,740 --> 00:30:49,240
And I think Axiom falls into that category

843
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,120
of too many.

844
00:30:50,540 --> 00:30:50,640
Axios.

845
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,340
Axios and other operations are different.

846
00:30:53,980 --> 00:30:56,980
Axios falls into that same category with too

847
00:30:56,980 --> 00:30:58,980
many people and who's really behind it.

848
00:30:58,980 --> 00:31:02,560
I mean, other operations like the Atlantic, for

849
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,040
example, you do have Lorraine Jobs, a Jobs,

850
00:31:07,460 --> 00:31:10,060
Powell Jobs, whatever she wants to call herself.

851
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:11,680
So you got money there.

852
00:31:12,060 --> 00:31:14,040
So even though that could be a slush

853
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,280
fund too, at least it has a cover.

854
00:31:16,380 --> 00:31:18,240
There's no cover for these other operations.

855
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,140
There's no cover billionaire that looks, you know,

856
00:31:21,220 --> 00:31:23,300
there's no Reed Hastings in front of the

857
00:31:23,300 --> 00:31:23,760
whole thing.

858
00:31:24,980 --> 00:31:27,980
So yes, yeah, we probably...

859
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,900
I'm reading, I'm reading that a lot of

860
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:37,340
money went into, got slushed somehow into Hollywood,

861
00:31:37,820 --> 00:31:38,760
Hollywood productions.

862
00:31:39,260 --> 00:31:41,440
Now that's kind of being countered by saying,

863
00:31:41,540 --> 00:31:43,220
oh, you know, they paid people millions of

864
00:31:43,220 --> 00:31:44,740
dollars to go visit Zelensky.

865
00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:45,960
Maybe, I don't know.

866
00:31:46,060 --> 00:31:47,880
Well, actually, yeah, I think yes.

867
00:31:48,220 --> 00:31:49,080
Ben Stiller says no.

868
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:49,720
He says no.

869
00:31:49,860 --> 00:31:51,900
Well, Ben Stiller probably paid for it himself.

870
00:31:52,020 --> 00:31:52,780
He's probably dumb.

871
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,260
Well, I got a clip on this, but...

872
00:31:55,260 --> 00:31:56,800
Well, let's do a last suggestion.

873
00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:58,740
Let's play the last one, then I can

874
00:31:58,740 --> 00:32:00,480
have a clip about Ben Stiller.

875
00:32:00,580 --> 00:32:01,000
Okay, good.

876
00:32:01,620 --> 00:32:04,020
So upon coming out here to the briefing

877
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:07,480
room, I was made aware of the funding

878
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,300
from USAID to media outlets, including Politico, who

879
00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:12,820
I know has a seat in this room.

880
00:32:13,860 --> 00:32:16,000
And I can confirm that the more than

881
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,400
$8 million taxpayer dollars that have gone to

882
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,580
essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico on the American

883
00:32:21,580 --> 00:32:23,600
taxpayer's dime will no longer be happening.

884
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,980
The Doge team is working on canceling those

885
00:32:25,980 --> 00:32:26,660
payments now.

886
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,860
How critical is government funding to Politico's bottom

887
00:32:29,860 --> 00:32:30,220
line?

888
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:31,040
Not sure.

889
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:32,980
But on the day of the freeze, they

890
00:32:32,980 --> 00:32:34,860
couldn't make payroll for a couple hours.

891
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,160
It's not just Politico.

892
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,220
The New York Times got millions.

893
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,160
BBC got money.

894
00:32:40,940 --> 00:32:43,560
PolitiFact was funded by the Biden administration.

895
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:47,620
Biden was censoring you and funding independent fact

896
00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:49,140
checkers to call you a liar.

897
00:32:49,140 --> 00:32:52,520
The left somehow looks like one big astroturfed

898
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,940
money laundering shell game.

899
00:32:54,140 --> 00:32:57,660
Well, okay, that's a little disingenuous, Jesse Watters.

900
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,740
USAID has been there through many different political

901
00:33:02,740 --> 00:33:06,060
powers running the country.

902
00:33:06,580 --> 00:33:08,540
So it's not just the Biden administration.

903
00:33:08,940 --> 00:33:11,400
It's not just, you know, the left and

904
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:11,920
the Dems.

905
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,560
It's the fundamental problem in government.

906
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,800
And this government's everywhere, except for some reason,

907
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,280
this president is pulling it apart.

908
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,640
You got nothing to lose.

909
00:33:22,820 --> 00:33:23,620
It's very interesting.

910
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,560
Where's the, where's the.

911
00:33:26,740 --> 00:33:29,840
So this is from, this is a clip

912
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,620
from, and I, one more clip after this.

913
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,280
This is the USAID.

914
00:33:34,420 --> 00:33:37,100
This is from E, E Entertainment News, the

915
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:37,880
E, you know, E.

916
00:33:37,980 --> 00:33:38,300
E?

917
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:38,720
E?

918
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:39,760
They still around?

919
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:40,100
E?

920
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:40,940
E still around?

921
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,800
Yeah, they're still around.

922
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:42,640
And here's their report.

923
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:47,120
USAID sponsored American celebrity visits to Ukraine after

924
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,740
Russia's full-scale invasion began.

925
00:33:50,460 --> 00:33:52,320
Angelina Jolie, $20 million.

926
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,760
Sean Penn, $5 million.

927
00:33:55,420 --> 00:33:58,060
Jean-Claude Van Damme, $1.5 million.

928
00:33:58,860 --> 00:34:01,040
Orlando Bloom, $8 million.

929
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,860
Ben Stiller, $4 million.

930
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,940
This was done to increase Zelensky's popularity among

931
00:34:07,940 --> 00:34:11,320
foreign audiences, particularly in the United States.

932
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,540
The involvement of celebrities made it easier to

933
00:34:14,540 --> 00:34:18,139
coordinate funding programs for Ukraine during the conflict.

934
00:34:18,780 --> 00:34:20,900
I'd like to see some paperwork on that.

935
00:34:21,179 --> 00:34:23,639
Angelina Jolie, $20 million, really?

936
00:34:24,260 --> 00:34:26,120
I'd like to see the paperwork on that.

937
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,100
Did they just, is there a big check,

938
00:34:28,219 --> 00:34:29,840
like one of those publisher clearinghouse checks?

939
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:30,860
Yeah, big giant checks.

940
00:34:31,060 --> 00:34:32,639
Hey, there you go.

941
00:34:32,940 --> 00:34:34,860
That's an accusation that they're going to have

942
00:34:34,860 --> 00:34:35,400
to deal with.

943
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,679
Now, the last clip I have just shows

944
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:40,920
that this is not, I mean, USAID is

945
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:41,880
the target right now.

946
00:34:42,179 --> 00:34:45,540
But then I ran into this crazy clip

947
00:34:45,540 --> 00:34:46,449
from Alex Jones.

948
00:34:47,020 --> 00:34:47,940
Oh, yeah.

949
00:34:48,179 --> 00:34:48,760
All right.

950
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,620
On Reuters.

951
00:34:51,020 --> 00:34:54,800
And this is some Pentagon, some stuff that

952
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,960
was brought up from some Pentagon research.

953
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:02,540
And I think the Pentagon, unless something stops

954
00:35:02,540 --> 00:35:05,460
and they manage to stop Musk, who's gone

955
00:35:05,460 --> 00:35:07,920
on a rampage with a bunch of kids.

956
00:35:08,020 --> 00:35:10,700
He's hired a bunch of young— This was,

957
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,820
so I saw the executive editor of Wired

958
00:35:14,820 --> 00:35:18,240
doing interviews everywhere because it was the outstanding

959
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:19,820
reporting from Wired.

960
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,940
Outstanding reporting from Wired.

961
00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:23,300
They did really good work.

962
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,480
Wired magazine did outstanding reporting.

963
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,760
And they're the ones like, well, these are

964
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,640
19 to 26-year-old kids.

965
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:30,440
What are they doing?

966
00:35:30,820 --> 00:35:31,220
Who else?

967
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,160
Who do you think is programming your life?

968
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:34,220
Who do you think?

969
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,460
Well, besides— Who has the energy?

970
00:35:36,700 --> 00:35:37,820
Besides anonymous Indians.

971
00:35:38,060 --> 00:35:40,380
And I also, I'm quite sure that this

972
00:35:40,380 --> 00:35:43,620
is a team that Musk is the spokeshole

973
00:35:43,620 --> 00:35:43,960
for.

974
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,280
I don't think he's in there rousting around

975
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:46,960
because— No, I agree.

976
00:35:47,020 --> 00:35:47,480
I agree.

977
00:35:47,580 --> 00:35:49,940
If he was, he'd have the kitchen sink

978
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:52,100
and he'd make an X-post and we'd

979
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:52,660
see that.

980
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,680
I've said it a million times.

981
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:55,420
I'll say it again.

982
00:35:55,780 --> 00:35:55,980
A million!

983
00:35:59,060 --> 00:36:00,900
I said it at least twice.

984
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,300
Yes, that's more like it.

985
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:04,140
Which is slightly different than a million, I

986
00:36:04,140 --> 00:36:05,900
suppose, if you're going to be picky.

987
00:36:06,340 --> 00:36:08,240
Well, I learned it from the best.

988
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,120
I would say that Musk knows how to

989
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:12,660
pick people.

990
00:36:14,420 --> 00:36:18,120
He has a knack for getting people— You

991
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,900
know, there's a funny thing about this, an

992
00:36:19,900 --> 00:36:23,300
old story about Microsoft, when Gates was building

993
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:24,240
the company out.

994
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,060
And he was kind of, at the time,

995
00:36:27,140 --> 00:36:30,080
now he's off the rails, but back in

996
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,100
the day, he would always, this was a

997
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:37,320
known Microsoft story, when he was staffing in

998
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:37,780
Redmond.

999
00:36:38,700 --> 00:36:41,380
You'd come in from some other company and

1000
00:36:41,380 --> 00:36:45,680
he said, he would always insist that if

1001
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,260
you're going to come to work for Microsoft,

1002
00:36:47,940 --> 00:36:49,700
you have to be willing to take whatever

1003
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:52,780
money you were making over at Oracle or

1004
00:36:52,780 --> 00:36:55,000
whatever company you were working for before, you

1005
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,960
had to take a cut in pay.

1006
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,140
Because it was important that you took a

1007
00:37:00,140 --> 00:37:01,860
cut in pay to show that you really

1008
00:37:01,860 --> 00:37:02,700
wanted to work for Microsoft.

1009
00:37:02,700 --> 00:37:03,440
That you wanted to be there.

1010
00:37:03,540 --> 00:37:04,320
Oh, interesting.

1011
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,200
And that was always, it was one of

1012
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,720
those, that story, everybody knows that story.

1013
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:12,220
So here we go with Alex Jones.

1014
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,080
And this is like, of course, Alex Jones

1015
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,700
dramatizes great, but here we go.

1016
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,380
Reuters, for active social engineering defense, ASED, and

1017
00:37:21,380 --> 00:37:26,940
large-scale social deception, LSD, that's how, in

1018
00:37:26,940 --> 00:37:31,680
the grants, at usspending.gov, Department of Defense,

1019
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:37,860
Thompson Reuters Special Services, that's M-I-6,

1020
00:37:37,860 --> 00:37:40,500
you can look it up, active social engineering

1021
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:45,780
defense, large-scale social deception.

1022
00:37:47,340 --> 00:37:48,360
Zoom in on that.

1023
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:49,820
Look at that.

1024
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:50,540
Look at that.

1025
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:51,520
Just look.

1026
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Of course, they want to keep it secret.

1027
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,980
But the Pentagon's paying Reuters to, what's the

1028
00:37:56,980 --> 00:37:57,640
exact term?

1029
00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,560
Might just read this for the next four

1030
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:00,340
hours over and over again.

1031
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,540
Active social engineering defense, ASED, and large-scale

1032
00:38:04,540 --> 00:38:06,640
social deception, LSD.

1033
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,280
Boy, that sounds like what good people do.

1034
00:38:09,940 --> 00:38:11,920
And there it is on the DARPA website.

1035
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,800
Where they tell you about active social engineering

1036
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,000
defense, but see, they didn't tell you what

1037
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,400
they do lie to you.

1038
00:38:18,500 --> 00:38:19,740
And it's the Pentagon going, we want to

1039
00:38:19,740 --> 00:38:23,560
help deceive the public, Reuters, help lie, run

1040
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,460
our deception engineering operation.

1041
00:38:26,820 --> 00:38:29,000
I mean, God, here's the bad guys don't

1042
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,200
call themselves the bad guys.

1043
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,060
That's like little kid shows like the Decepticons.

1044
00:38:34,060 --> 00:38:36,960
The Pentagon's like, we're the Decepticons.

1045
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,520
Lie to the American people.

1046
00:38:39,180 --> 00:38:41,640
Look, I'm wearing a red cape and horn.

1047
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:45,180
Well, this is, we've talked about this, about

1048
00:38:45,180 --> 00:38:50,800
DARPA working on social networks and understanding how

1049
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,240
to engineer outcomes through the law of large

1050
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:58,360
numbers and how large networks operate in general.

1051
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,540
And then the, was it NSA or CIA?

1052
00:39:01,540 --> 00:39:05,040
I think it was military who recruited to

1053
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,280
be the ghost in the machine.

1054
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,240
Remember that creepy ad, be the ghost in

1055
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:08,540
the machine.

1056
00:39:08,820 --> 00:39:11,200
It was NSA, be the ghost in the

1057
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:11,540
machine.

1058
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,000
And if you said something, really said something

1059
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,500
a million times, it's that when the internet

1060
00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:21,500
came into play, it made everything much easier

1061
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:24,840
for government to psyop us and to control

1062
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:25,560
our thinking.

1063
00:39:26,460 --> 00:39:28,760
And I don't care if it's run by

1064
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:29,800
Elon Musk or not.

1065
00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:31,280
X is a perfect place for that.

1066
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,880
But the one that's really good is BlueCry.

1067
00:39:33,060 --> 00:39:33,560
I mean, whoa.

1068
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,480
I mean, what's going on there is, it's

1069
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:38,180
amazing.

1070
00:39:38,860 --> 00:39:41,320
I have to, you know, I have relented

1071
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:46,340
from looking at the BlueCry feeds during this

1072
00:39:46,340 --> 00:39:48,180
last week or so, but I'm going to

1073
00:39:48,180 --> 00:39:48,720
have to go.

1074
00:39:50,060 --> 00:39:52,700
It's got to be distressing because these people

1075
00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:54,040
are insane over there.

1076
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:55,240
And I log in.

1077
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,940
Now, I haven't looked at BlueCry in weeks.

1078
00:39:58,060 --> 00:39:59,740
I log in, I see I have 20

1079
00:39:59,740 --> 00:40:00,300
messages.

1080
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:03,880
And there's people going, people who listen to

1081
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:04,440
our show.

1082
00:40:04,740 --> 00:40:06,340
You said that, how about this?

1083
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:08,760
I'm like, wow.

1084
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,280
And that's what they sound like too.

1085
00:40:10,300 --> 00:40:11,460
Yes, I logged right out.

1086
00:40:11,500 --> 00:40:12,540
I'm like, I don't want to read this.

1087
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:17,040
And Scott Galloway, he posts 15 times an

1088
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:17,300
hour.

1089
00:40:18,660 --> 00:40:20,060
This is no good.

1090
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,980
Anyway, on USAID.

1091
00:40:23,220 --> 00:40:26,080
But before we continue with any more discussion,

1092
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:31,640
I do want to say, these clips, including

1093
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,060
the Jones clip, this is an amazing indictment

1094
00:40:35,060 --> 00:40:38,820
of mainstream media as being completely and totally

1095
00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:41,880
corrupt, and I would say useless to the

1096
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,540
general public unless you just want to be

1097
00:40:43,540 --> 00:40:47,640
led around by the nose, by somebody that's

1098
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,700
leaning around the nose for some nefarious reason,

1099
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,920
I'd say, just in general.

1100
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,040
This is not good.

1101
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,220
Here's a short clip of Elon talking on

1102
00:40:59,220 --> 00:41:02,400
Spaces with his impression.

1103
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:03,700
So he's doing his job.

1104
00:41:03,740 --> 00:41:05,480
He's doing his job perfectly.

1105
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:06,980
He's getting out there.

1106
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:08,540
He's doing the talking where he needs to

1107
00:41:08,540 --> 00:41:09,060
do the talking.

1108
00:41:09,260 --> 00:41:11,320
I don't think he was doing this from

1109
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,540
inside the USAID building or sleeping in the

1110
00:41:14,540 --> 00:41:17,560
bed next to the Oval Office or whatever

1111
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,040
is out there.

1112
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:20,820
But he kind of summed it up with

1113
00:41:20,820 --> 00:41:22,700
something that sounded very Trumpy.

1114
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:26,280
As we dug into USAID, it became apparent

1115
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,540
that what we have here is not an

1116
00:41:28,540 --> 00:41:30,380
apple with a worm in it, but we

1117
00:41:30,380 --> 00:41:32,400
have actually just a bowl of worms.

1118
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,100
And so at the point at which you

1119
00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:37,100
don't really, if you've got an apple that's

1120
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:37,820
got a worm in it, maybe you can

1121
00:41:37,820 --> 00:41:38,440
take the worm out.

1122
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,080
But if you've got actually just a bowl

1123
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,900
of worms, it's hopeless.

1124
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,760
And USAID is a bowl of worms.

1125
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,580
There is no apple.

1126
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,380
There is no apple.

1127
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,100
You've just got to basically get rid of

1128
00:41:53,100 --> 00:41:53,700
the whole thing.

1129
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,480
That is why it's got to go.

1130
00:41:58,460 --> 00:41:59,900
It's beyond repair.

1131
00:42:04,380 --> 00:42:08,400
Now, here's two serious clips because we can

1132
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,200
stomp on people all day long.

1133
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,160
Marco Rubio, our Secretary of State, who I'm

1134
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,020
liking more and more, I have to say.

1135
00:42:16,100 --> 00:42:16,580
I am too.

1136
00:42:16,580 --> 00:42:17,960
I'm liking him more and more.

1137
00:42:18,020 --> 00:42:21,000
He's really, you know, it's like one of

1138
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,100
those things where he found himself, it seems

1139
00:42:24,100 --> 00:42:24,540
to me.

1140
00:42:25,220 --> 00:42:26,600
Go ahead.

1141
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:31,300
Because everybody on both sides of the aisle

1142
00:42:31,300 --> 00:42:36,220
always assumed that, because of Marco's, little Marco,

1143
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,780
when he was little Marco, and he did

1144
00:42:37,780 --> 00:42:40,300
the small hands joke and he was going

1145
00:42:40,300 --> 00:42:41,840
after Trump and he was running against him,

1146
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:46,740
they all assumed that he was pretty much

1147
00:42:46,740 --> 00:42:49,580
like them, that he was an old Republican,

1148
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,720
old-fashioned Republican.

1149
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:53,920
He's not turning out to be that way.

1150
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,480
He's turning out to be a radical Republican,

1151
00:42:56,740 --> 00:43:00,320
Trumpist-type Republican, and he handles it so

1152
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,540
beautifully.

1153
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,520
It's a phenomenon.

1154
00:43:05,020 --> 00:43:05,580
Yes.

1155
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,660
And, of course, he's still not to be

1156
00:43:08,660 --> 00:43:08,980
trusted.

1157
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:09,900
Can't trust anybody.

1158
00:43:09,900 --> 00:43:11,780
I agree.

1159
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,700
He did an interview, I think this was

1160
00:43:13,700 --> 00:43:16,040
Fox, and they asked him, because now he's

1161
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,540
the acting director of USAID, and he had

1162
00:43:19,540 --> 00:43:24,600
a very clear, concise overview of what's going

1163
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,820
on and how it's corrupt and rotten, and

1164
00:43:27,820 --> 00:43:28,260
here it is.

1165
00:43:28,300 --> 00:43:30,120
So you're now the head of USAID.

1166
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,720
The head of DOJ, Elon Musk, called USAID

1167
00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:36,480
a criminal organization and added that it is

1168
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,240
time for it to die.

1169
00:43:38,460 --> 00:43:39,280
Do you agree with that?

1170
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,640
Let me walk you through the history of

1171
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:41,220
this agency.

1172
00:43:41,540 --> 00:43:42,120
And this is good.

1173
00:43:42,180 --> 00:43:43,040
He knows the history.

1174
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:44,260
I like this.

1175
00:43:44,380 --> 00:43:46,060
I've dealt with it for 14 years in

1176
00:43:46,060 --> 00:43:46,900
the United States Senate.

1177
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,620
It was created as a way of doing

1178
00:43:49,620 --> 00:43:51,840
humanitarian assistance in the world, separate from the

1179
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:52,980
State Department at the time.

1180
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:54,700
But it said you have to take policy

1181
00:43:54,700 --> 00:43:56,740
direction from the Secretary of State, the National

1182
00:43:56,740 --> 00:43:58,680
Security Council, the White House, and all elements

1183
00:43:58,680 --> 00:43:59,160
of government.

1184
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,160
They have basically evolved into an agency that

1185
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:03,620
believes that they're not even a U.S.

1186
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,620
government agency, that they are a global charity,

1187
00:44:06,620 --> 00:44:08,700
that they take the taxpayer money and they

1188
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:11,280
spend it as a global charity, irrespective of

1189
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:12,780
whether it is in the national interest or

1190
00:44:12,780 --> 00:44:12,920
not.

1191
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,640
By the way, one of the few people

1192
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,680
these days who uses the word correctly instead

1193
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,080
of saying irregardless, he says irrespective.

1194
00:44:20,180 --> 00:44:21,420
He gets a point, gets a point for

1195
00:44:21,420 --> 00:44:21,600
that.

1196
00:44:22,460 --> 00:44:23,980
Irrespective of whether it is in the national

1197
00:44:23,980 --> 00:44:25,440
interest or not in the national interest.

1198
00:44:25,740 --> 00:44:27,160
One of the most common complaints you will

1199
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,680
get if you go to embassies around the

1200
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,940
world from State Department officials and ambassadors and

1201
00:44:30,940 --> 00:44:33,660
the like is USAID is not only not

1202
00:44:33,660 --> 00:44:36,480
cooperative, they undermine the work that we're doing.

1203
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,900
They are supporting programs that upset the host

1204
00:44:39,900 --> 00:44:41,740
government for whom we're trying to work with

1205
00:44:41,740 --> 00:44:43,060
on a broader scale and so forth.

1206
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:44,880
So they're completely unresponsive.

1207
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,580
They just don't consider that they work for

1208
00:44:46,580 --> 00:44:48,200
the U.S. They just think they're a

1209
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,140
global entity and that their master is the

1210
00:44:50,140 --> 00:44:51,760
globe and not the United States.

1211
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,580
And that's not what the statute says and

1212
00:44:53,580 --> 00:44:54,440
that's not sustainable.

1213
00:44:54,980 --> 00:44:56,420
The President put a pause on all foreign

1214
00:44:56,420 --> 00:44:56,640
aid.

1215
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,380
We found a lot of cooperation in the

1216
00:44:59,380 --> 00:45:01,680
State Department and we have issued dozens and

1217
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:02,460
dozens of waivers.

1218
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:03,980
As we go through all the foreign aid

1219
00:45:03,980 --> 00:45:06,200
programs in the Department of State, the ones

1220
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,720
that make sense, we issue a waiver, they

1221
00:45:07,720 --> 00:45:08,300
go back on.

1222
00:45:08,380 --> 00:45:10,060
We've already done it for dozens of programs.

1223
00:45:10,620 --> 00:45:12,880
So, OK, so that makes total sense.

1224
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,400
You know, oh, there's someone starving.

1225
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:15,820
OK, we'll help those people out.

1226
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,760
But then he gets a little tricky because

1227
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,400
we know the State Department is really the

1228
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:24,620
huge monster.

1229
00:45:25,820 --> 00:45:28,280
And here's all the State Department's great.

1230
00:45:28,620 --> 00:45:29,200
They're great.

1231
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,040
Remember, Marco Rubio has been on the Intelligence

1232
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,560
Committee for a long time.

1233
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,620
So I think he's protecting his turf here.

1234
00:45:37,720 --> 00:45:39,240
So we're going through it at the State

1235
00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:41,620
Department, the State Department portion of foreign aid.

1236
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:43,040
We find cooperation.

1237
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:44,420
State Department people have been great.

1238
00:45:44,580 --> 00:45:46,440
And we're issuing waivers and we're getting input

1239
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:47,280
and it's working.

1240
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,940
We go to USAID, which is a big

1241
00:45:49,940 --> 00:45:52,480
chunk of foreign aid, $40 billion or so.

1242
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,340
They're completely uncooperative.

1243
00:45:54,700 --> 00:45:56,080
They won't tell you what the programs are.

1244
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:57,380
They refuse to answer questions.

1245
00:45:57,620 --> 00:45:58,980
They try to push through payments.

1246
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,260
Even after the executive order, they were still

1247
00:46:01,260 --> 00:46:02,780
trying to push money through the system.

1248
00:46:02,780 --> 00:46:04,220
Can it be reformed or does it need

1249
00:46:04,220 --> 00:46:04,580
to die?

1250
00:46:04,700 --> 00:46:05,960
Well, that was always the goal was to

1251
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:06,520
reform it.

1252
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:08,680
But now we have rank insubordination.

1253
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:10,940
Now we have basically an active effort.

1254
00:46:11,180 --> 00:46:13,740
Their basic attitude is we don't work for

1255
00:46:13,740 --> 00:46:14,000
anyone.

1256
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:14,900
We work for ourselves.

1257
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,000
No agency of government can tell us what

1258
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:17,360
to do.

1259
00:46:17,820 --> 00:46:20,200
So the president made me the acting administrator.

1260
00:46:20,780 --> 00:46:22,720
I've delegated that power to someone who's there

1261
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:23,320
full time.

1262
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:24,600
And we're going to go through the same

1263
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,880
process at USAID as we're going through now

1264
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,140
at the State Department.

1265
00:46:29,380 --> 00:46:31,500
This is not about getting rid of foreign

1266
00:46:31,500 --> 00:46:31,680
aid.

1267
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,280
There are things that we do through USAID

1268
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:35,920
that we should continue to do.

1269
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:36,560
That makes sense.

1270
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,220
And we'll have to decide, is that better

1271
00:46:38,220 --> 00:46:39,740
through the State Department or is that better

1272
00:46:39,740 --> 00:46:41,940
through something, a reformed USAID?

1273
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:43,440
That's the process we're working through.

1274
00:46:43,660 --> 00:46:45,180
There are things that are happening at USAID

1275
00:46:45,180 --> 00:46:46,780
that we should not be involved in funding

1276
00:46:47,340 --> 00:46:48,960
or that we have a lot of questions

1277
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:49,240
about.

1278
00:46:49,740 --> 00:46:51,220
But they're completely uncooperative.

1279
00:46:51,380 --> 00:46:53,140
So we had no choice but to take

1280
00:46:53,140 --> 00:46:55,400
dramatic steps to bring this thing under control.

1281
00:46:56,060 --> 00:46:57,000
So we'll see.

1282
00:46:57,620 --> 00:46:59,580
State Department seems pretty safe.

1283
00:46:59,580 --> 00:47:02,020
And there's a lot of nonsense going on

1284
00:47:02,020 --> 00:47:02,240
there.

1285
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,560
It's heavily intertwined with the Central Intelligence Agency.

1286
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,640
When it comes to media corruption, though, Michael

1287
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,480
Schellenberger pops up.

1288
00:47:12,140 --> 00:47:13,900
I'm not really a super fan of Michael

1289
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:17,100
Schellenberger, but he dug in and he found

1290
00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:22,120
some USAID financing that really helped kickstart the

1291
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,560
initial Trump impeachment.

1292
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,900
The House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump

1293
00:47:27,900 --> 00:47:31,100
in December 2019 after a White House whistleblower

1294
00:47:31,100 --> 00:47:33,320
went public with evidence that Trump had abused

1295
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,340
his powers by withholding military aid to Ukraine

1296
00:47:36,340 --> 00:47:38,000
in order to dig up dirt on his

1297
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:38,800
rival Joe Biden.

1298
00:47:39,020 --> 00:47:41,500
In the complaint, the whistleblower claimed to have

1299
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:44,280
heard from White House staff that Trump had

1300
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,520
on a phone call directed Ukrainian President Volodymyr

1301
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,240
Zelensky to work with his personal attorney at

1302
00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:53,540
the time, Rudy Giuliani, to investigate Joe Biden

1303
00:47:53,540 --> 00:47:54,320
and Hunter Biden.

1304
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,260
The whistleblower who triggered the impeachment was a

1305
00:47:57,260 --> 00:47:59,300
CIA analyst who was first brought into the

1306
00:47:59,300 --> 00:48:00,940
White House by the Obama administration.

1307
00:48:01,740 --> 00:48:04,700
Reporting by Dropsite News last year revealed that

1308
00:48:04,700 --> 00:48:07,200
the CIA analyst had relied on reporting by

1309
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,420
a supposedly independent investigative news organization called the

1310
00:48:11,420 --> 00:48:16,720
Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, or the

1311
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:20,940
OCCRP, which appears to have effectively operated as

1312
00:48:20,940 --> 00:48:22,920
an arm of the United States Agency for

1313
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,160
International Development, USAID, which President Trump has just

1314
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:27,760
shut down.

1315
00:48:28,220 --> 00:48:31,440
The CIA whistleblower complaint cited a long report

1316
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,600
by OCCRP four times.

1317
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,980
The OCCRP report alleged that two Soviet-born

1318
00:48:36,980 --> 00:48:39,940
Florida businessmen were key hidden actors behind a

1319
00:48:39,940 --> 00:48:42,340
plan by Trump to investigate the Bidens.

1320
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:43,600
Do you remember those two guys?

1321
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,040
Remember those two?

1322
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,340
Like Boris and...

1323
00:48:47,340 --> 00:48:48,280
And Natasha.

1324
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,980
Boris and Natasha standing next to Trump at

1325
00:48:50,980 --> 00:48:52,200
some function.

1326
00:48:52,340 --> 00:48:53,740
They took a picture with him, and then

1327
00:48:53,740 --> 00:48:54,980
all of a sudden, oh, they were key.

1328
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,380
Those two businessmen connected Giuliani to two former

1329
00:48:59,380 --> 00:49:02,120
Ukrainian prosecutors, according to OCCRP.

1330
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,200
The OCCRP story was crucial to the House

1331
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,460
Democrats' impeachment claim, which is that Trump dispatched

1332
00:49:08,460 --> 00:49:11,380
Giuliani as part of a coordinated effort to

1333
00:49:11,380 --> 00:49:13,980
pressure a foreign country to interfere in the

1334
00:49:13,980 --> 00:49:17,580
2020 presidential election, which is why the whistleblower

1335
00:49:17,580 --> 00:49:19,320
cited it four separate times.

1336
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:20,940
Yeah, he goes on and on and on

1337
00:49:20,940 --> 00:49:21,500
about this.

1338
00:49:21,580 --> 00:49:22,080
But, you know...

1339
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,080
Yes, it was a good clip.

1340
00:49:23,220 --> 00:49:25,000
I saw him do this.

1341
00:49:25,180 --> 00:49:26,440
I'm glad you got that.

1342
00:49:26,460 --> 00:49:27,380
He's kind of dry.

1343
00:49:29,540 --> 00:49:31,160
He doesn't have much...

1344
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:32,600
He doesn't have pizzazz.

1345
00:49:32,780 --> 00:49:36,260
So USAID spent, through political non-governmental organizations,

1346
00:49:36,340 --> 00:49:39,860
over $40 million on the Georgia elections, Georgia

1347
00:49:39,860 --> 00:49:41,840
the country, which, of course, you know, was

1348
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:42,800
contentious.

1349
00:49:46,420 --> 00:49:47,220
It's really...

1350
00:49:47,220 --> 00:49:49,440
To me, this is quite entertaining.

1351
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:50,460
I mean, it's...

1352
00:49:50,460 --> 00:49:51,660
It's very entertaining.

1353
00:49:51,900 --> 00:49:53,000
It's more than I expected.

1354
00:49:53,100 --> 00:49:54,600
It's a lot more than I expected.

1355
00:49:54,740 --> 00:49:55,100
Yes.

1356
00:49:55,540 --> 00:49:56,720
Well, that's for sure.

1357
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:57,160
Me too.

1358
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,260
And although you seem to have been expecting

1359
00:50:00,260 --> 00:50:02,120
from the season of reveal...

1360
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:02,640
That's okay.

1361
00:50:02,820 --> 00:50:04,100
I won't criticize you.

1362
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:04,440
No, no.

1363
00:50:04,540 --> 00:50:06,240
That's just the word I received, and here

1364
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:06,580
it is.

1365
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,220
I mean, the prophecy is true.

1366
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:09,480
The season of reveal.

1367
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:09,940
Uh-huh.

1368
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:10,520
Uh-huh.

1369
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:11,780
You can't deny it.

1370
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:13,140
You're going to try, but you can't.

1371
00:50:13,140 --> 00:50:17,300
So this is going to continue at this

1372
00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:18,960
breakneck pace.

1373
00:50:19,180 --> 00:50:20,120
Rapid rate, yes.

1374
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:21,860
They don't know what to do about it.

1375
00:50:21,900 --> 00:50:22,920
It's one thing after another.

1376
00:50:26,700 --> 00:50:28,160
The thing that's really...

1377
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,420
I don't know how to call it, but

1378
00:50:31,420 --> 00:50:35,320
his approach to women's sports with that executive

1379
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,860
order, I thought was a big deal.

1380
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,020
I have the clip here.

1381
00:50:39,100 --> 00:50:39,800
Hold on a second.

1382
00:50:40,180 --> 00:50:41,020
I have a clip too.

1383
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:42,180
Yeah, this is...

1384
00:50:42,180 --> 00:50:44,740
President Trump delivering on a campaign promise with

1385
00:50:44,740 --> 00:50:47,280
an executive order that may or may not

1386
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:47,880
be legal.

1387
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,880
We will not allow men to beat up,

1388
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:53,760
injure, and cheat our women and our girls.

1389
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,020
From now on, women's sports will be only

1390
00:50:57,020 --> 00:50:58,280
for women.

1391
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,720
While several high-profile cases fill the cable

1392
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:07,120
news airwaves, including swimmer Riley Gaines, who lost

1393
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,100
a college competition to a transgender person, the

1394
00:51:10,100 --> 00:51:12,760
reality is it rarely happens.

1395
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,780
In December, the NCAA president indicated the policy

1396
00:51:15,780 --> 00:51:19,340
allowing transgender women to compete might change if

1397
00:51:19,340 --> 00:51:21,100
federal law becomes more clear.

1398
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,780
But in the same hearing, he revealed that

1399
00:51:23,780 --> 00:51:27,100
of the 510,000 college athletes, he was

1400
00:51:27,100 --> 00:51:29,420
aware of only 10 who were transgender.

1401
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,700
Ashley O'Connor transitioned while a student at

1402
00:51:31,700 --> 00:51:33,060
Downers Grove South High School.

1403
00:51:33,380 --> 00:51:36,040
She's now in college, but knows firsthand the

1404
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,540
impact of being allowed on the girls' badminton

1405
00:51:38,540 --> 00:51:40,660
team during a difficult time.

1406
00:51:40,660 --> 00:51:44,600
Being able to express myself openly and honestly

1407
00:51:45,260 --> 00:51:46,960
helps so, so much.

1408
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,080
I haven't self-harmed for, I think, a

1409
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:50,320
bit over four years now.

1410
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,400
I mean, this is a person who needs

1411
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:53,680
different kind of help.

1412
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:59,320
Because I can express myself through badminton, I

1413
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:00,560
haven't self-harmed.

1414
00:52:01,220 --> 00:52:05,000
This person needs a different kind of help.

1415
00:52:06,060 --> 00:52:07,340
Where'd you get that report?

1416
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:08,700
This report is slanted.

1417
00:52:08,700 --> 00:52:10,700
Oh, of course it's slanted.

1418
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,400
This report is from, it's probably from France

1419
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:14,900
24.

1420
00:52:15,340 --> 00:52:15,980
Let me see.

1421
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:17,680
Trans Maoism.

1422
00:52:21,220 --> 00:52:23,920
Oh, the Chicago WGN.

1423
00:52:24,020 --> 00:52:24,200
Hello.

1424
00:52:25,500 --> 00:52:27,180
It's obvious where it's from.

1425
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,340
All right, but you get the idea.

1426
00:52:29,720 --> 00:52:30,600
What they're saying is- Yeah, well, play

1427
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:31,040
this clip.

1428
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,400
This is the executive order about men in

1429
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:34,860
locker rooms.

1430
00:52:34,860 --> 00:52:38,660
This is on NTD, and this is slanted.

1431
00:52:40,740 --> 00:52:44,020
But NTD is always anti-Chinese slanted, and

1432
00:52:44,020 --> 00:52:46,060
I think their regular reporting is pretty neutral.

1433
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:48,360
And here's the way they handled it.

1434
00:52:48,540 --> 00:52:51,680
One of President Trump's latest executive orders will

1435
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,960
provide, quote, equal opportunity for women and girls

1436
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,200
and keep, quote, men out of women's sports.

1437
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,120
Last year, a male cyclist posing as a

1438
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:05,260
woman competed in the 800-mile Arizona trail

1439
00:53:05,260 --> 00:53:09,220
race, a very big deal in cycling, and

1440
00:53:09,220 --> 00:53:12,320
obliterated the woman's course record by nearly five

1441
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:13,300
and a half hours.

1442
00:53:13,660 --> 00:53:16,620
A White House document says the executive order

1443
00:53:16,620 --> 00:53:19,600
upholds the promise of Title IX and ends

1444
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,440
the dangerous and unfair participation of men in

1445
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:23,220
women's sports.

1446
00:53:23,420 --> 00:53:26,580
We're putting every school receiving taxpayer dollars on

1447
00:53:26,580 --> 00:53:28,360
notice that if you let men take over

1448
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,800
women's sports teams or invade your locker rooms,

1449
00:53:31,900 --> 00:53:35,020
you will be investigated for violations of Title

1450
00:53:35,020 --> 00:53:36,720
IX and risk your federal funding.

1451
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,340
While signing, Trump was joined by over 20

1452
00:53:39,340 --> 00:53:42,660
women and their daughters from parental rights advocacy

1453
00:53:42,660 --> 00:53:44,300
group Moms for Liberty.

1454
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,060
Women's sports advocates Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlon

1455
00:53:48,060 --> 00:53:49,160
were there also.

1456
00:53:49,460 --> 00:53:53,860
Title IX, passed in 1972, prohibits sex-based

1457
00:53:53,860 --> 00:53:57,800
discrimination in any school or other education program

1458
00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,820
that receives federal funding.

1459
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,320
And the U.S. officially has a new

1460
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:03,220
attorney general.

1461
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,860
Pam Bondi was sworn in on Capitol Hill

1462
00:54:05,860 --> 00:54:07,420
with Trump in attendance.

1463
00:54:08,020 --> 00:54:10,920
The Senate confirmed Bondi on Tuesday, 54 to

1464
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:15,420
46, with Democrat Senator John Fetterman joining Republicans

1465
00:54:15,420 --> 00:54:16,280
in the vote.

1466
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:18,920
Bondi says she will make the country proud.

1467
00:54:19,220 --> 00:54:22,120
And I will restore integrity to the Justice

1468
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:26,000
Department and I will fight violent crime throughout

1469
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,580
this country and throughout this world and make

1470
00:54:28,580 --> 00:54:29,840
America safe again.

1471
00:54:30,240 --> 00:54:33,140
So what, considering the numbers, it is just,

1472
00:54:33,260 --> 00:54:36,700
as you've pointed out, it's just so crazy

1473
00:54:36,700 --> 00:54:39,640
that the Democrat Party wanted to die on

1474
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:40,740
that hill, as you said.

1475
00:54:41,740 --> 00:54:42,020
And...

1476
00:54:42,020 --> 00:54:43,960
They're still on to it, on the hill.

1477
00:54:44,140 --> 00:54:46,000
And I can't wait for my hate listen

1478
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,760
tomorrow to find out what, because Kara Schwisher,

1479
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:56,880
leading lesbian advocate, continuously has held to the

1480
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,600
opinion that the war on trans, was it

1481
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,140
because the Republicans hate gay people?

1482
00:55:03,780 --> 00:55:05,920
Well, nothing could be further from the truth

1483
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:10,260
because they're actually being protected in this case.

1484
00:55:11,540 --> 00:55:13,080
This is from Denver.

1485
00:55:13,660 --> 00:55:15,340
While the preview for the U.S. Department

1486
00:55:15,340 --> 00:55:19,340
of State's website still shows resources for LGBTQI

1487
00:55:19,340 --> 00:55:22,740
plus prospective adoptive parents, the moment you click

1488
00:55:22,740 --> 00:55:24,100
in, you'll see a new acronym.

1489
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,860
By the way, they're showing the Google search

1490
00:55:26,860 --> 00:55:30,040
results, so it's like a cached result that

1491
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:34,140
has the link LGBTQI, and then when you

1492
00:55:34,140 --> 00:55:36,020
click in, well, yeah, they change it, but

1493
00:55:36,020 --> 00:55:37,120
Google hasn't updated it.

1494
00:55:37,260 --> 00:55:40,420
Prospective adoptive parents, the moment you click in,

1495
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,500
you'll see a new acronym, LGB.

1496
00:55:43,180 --> 00:55:45,840
The same is found for LGB travelers.

1497
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,140
To remove the T from the transgender identity.

1498
00:55:50,140 --> 00:55:51,700
I don't have to tell you what this

1499
00:55:51,700 --> 00:55:52,520
person was like.

1500
00:55:53,300 --> 00:55:55,160
You know, from your TikTok clips.

1501
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,840
All federally funded websites and resources sends a

1502
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:01,620
really big signal.

1503
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,420
Jax Gonzalez is the political director at One

1504
00:56:04,420 --> 00:56:08,820
Colorado, the state's largest LGBTQIA advocacy group.

1505
00:56:08,940 --> 00:56:10,720
I'm a little bit of a history nerd.

1506
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,400
The first acronym that was used was GLB,

1507
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:15,840
so gay, lesbian, and bisexual.

1508
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,300
You can see that used in the 70s

1509
00:56:19,300 --> 00:56:22,280
and 80s to identify the gay rights movement.

1510
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,700
The L representing lesbians then became the first

1511
00:56:25,700 --> 00:56:28,900
letter to represent their contributions during the HIV

1512
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:31,160
and AIDS epidemic in the late 80s.

1513
00:56:31,260 --> 00:56:32,640
This I didn't know, by the way, from

1514
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,400
this self-proclaimed history nerd.

1515
00:56:34,460 --> 00:56:36,400
I didn't know that the L moved to

1516
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:40,640
the front because of the lesbians helping in

1517
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:41,540
the AIDS epidemic.

1518
00:56:41,820 --> 00:56:44,300
This is a point of contention.

1519
00:56:44,300 --> 00:56:47,080
When I was at...

1520
00:56:48,140 --> 00:56:51,980
When Cranky Geeks was being produced by Ziff

1521
00:56:51,980 --> 00:56:53,720
Davis and I was at the office, we

1522
00:56:53,720 --> 00:56:56,580
had one of our producers was a very

1523
00:56:56,580 --> 00:56:58,500
flamboyant gay guy.

1524
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:02,200
And he was one of those guys who

1525
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,200
had a lot of opinions about things.

1526
00:57:04,460 --> 00:57:07,200
And I've talked to him and other gay

1527
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,980
males about this, and they, for the life

1528
00:57:09,980 --> 00:57:14,980
of them, cannot rationalize or understand why, and

1529
00:57:14,980 --> 00:57:17,040
they're a little irked about it, that the

1530
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,040
G was replaced by the L.

1531
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:22,760
Well, here's the official story from the history

1532
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:23,100
nerd.

1533
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,280
Letter to represent their contributions during the HIV

1534
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,580
and AIDS epidemic in the late 80s.

1535
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,460
Nurses would refuse to treat men who were

1536
00:57:31,460 --> 00:57:32,720
dying of HIV and AIDS.

1537
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:37,300
And so lesbians stepped in, lesbian nurses, lesbian

1538
00:57:37,300 --> 00:57:37,880
volunteers.

1539
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,100
Then in the 90s, the T representing transgender

1540
00:57:41,100 --> 00:57:42,200
people was added.

1541
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,180
Man, I do not remember that being the

1542
00:57:44,180 --> 00:57:44,620
90s.

1543
00:57:44,740 --> 00:57:48,120
I remember that being in the mid-2000s.

1544
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:49,940
Do you remember the T being added in

1545
00:57:49,940 --> 00:57:50,720
the 90s?

1546
00:57:52,060 --> 00:57:53,880
Ugh, I'm gonna have to do some work

1547
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:54,400
on this.

1548
00:57:54,620 --> 00:57:56,340
There was the death of Brandon Tina.

1549
00:57:56,820 --> 00:57:58,300
That was a young trans man.

1550
00:57:58,700 --> 00:58:01,100
And after that, we had a surge of

1551
00:58:01,100 --> 00:58:02,680
visibility of transness.

1552
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,500
Advocates say they're confident that while a letter

1553
00:58:05,500 --> 00:58:08,840
has been erased, transgender people won't be.

1554
00:58:08,980 --> 00:58:11,260
We're no longer being recognized by the federal

1555
00:58:11,260 --> 00:58:11,640
government.

1556
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,820
I think what's true is that we don't

1557
00:58:15,820 --> 00:58:19,440
need to be in order to be the

1558
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:20,360
people we are.

1559
00:58:20,500 --> 00:58:21,200
Yeah, there you go.

1560
00:58:21,580 --> 00:58:23,260
Good, everyone's happy now.

1561
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:23,960
It's fine.

1562
00:58:24,300 --> 00:58:26,160
So LGB is protected.

1563
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:27,880
Protected.

1564
00:58:28,500 --> 00:58:30,220
And the T, which was, you know, and

1565
00:58:30,220 --> 00:58:32,680
the Q, I mean, man, the Q thing,

1566
00:58:32,740 --> 00:58:34,160
that's what threw everybody for a loop.

1567
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,880
But the Q thing just became this tack

1568
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,440
-on excuse, which was a problem.

1569
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,560
I have a couple of clips that kind

1570
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:43,720
of relate to this.

1571
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:45,520
And one of them, I thought, I mean,

1572
00:58:45,580 --> 00:58:46,580
I'll hold off on this.

1573
00:58:47,180 --> 00:58:50,420
This is an Irish journalist who went on

1574
00:58:50,420 --> 00:58:54,820
a tear about the trans conundrum and what's

1575
00:58:54,820 --> 00:58:58,000
really the problem with it, which is the

1576
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:04,320
investment of the parents that have transitioned their

1577
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,120
children and how it's created.

1578
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:08,720
This woman is Helen Joyce.

1579
00:59:08,740 --> 00:59:09,620
We might as well play it.

1580
00:59:09,660 --> 00:59:10,440
Oh, Helen Joyce.

1581
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,640
Helen Joyce is very, she's a, I wouldn't

1582
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,500
say she's anti-trans because I don't think

1583
00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:20,120
she is anti-anything, but she's an observer

1584
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:25,040
and she is seen as, she's like Rowland,

1585
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,440
the Harry Potter writer.

1586
00:59:29,700 --> 00:59:30,260
Yes.

1587
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,260
As a, you know, a hater of trans

1588
00:59:35,260 --> 00:59:36,960
when it's not the case.

1589
00:59:37,540 --> 00:59:40,080
And she has this interesting observation to make

1590
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,080
about the investment that people have made into

1591
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:47,040
this movement, into the trans Maoist movement that

1592
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:50,560
is kind of depressing.

1593
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,020
You may not have thought of, is that

1594
00:59:52,020 --> 00:59:53,120
there's a lot of people who can't move

1595
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,840
on on this because that's the people who

1596
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,860
have transitioned their own children.

1597
00:59:56,220 --> 00:59:57,720
So those people are going to be like,

1598
00:59:57,780 --> 00:59:59,580
you know, the Japanese soldiers who were on

1599
00:59:59,580 --> 01:00:01,240
Pacific Islands and didn't know the war was

1600
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:01,540
over.

1601
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:03,700
They've got to fight forever.

1602
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,100
This is why, this is another reason why

1603
01:00:05,100 --> 01:00:08,240
this is the worst, worst, worst social contagion

1604
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:09,300
that we'll ever have experienced.

1605
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,200
A lot of people have done the worst

1606
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,060
thing that you could do, which is to

1607
01:00:14,060 --> 01:00:16,140
harm their children irrevocably because of it.

1608
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,080
Those people will have to believe that they

1609
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:19,100
did the right thing for the rest of

1610
01:00:19,100 --> 01:00:20,700
their lives, for their own sanity and for

1611
01:00:20,700 --> 01:00:21,520
their own self-respect.

1612
01:00:21,980 --> 01:00:23,140
So they'll still be fighting.

1613
01:00:23,940 --> 01:00:26,500
And each one of those people destroys entire

1614
01:00:26,500 --> 01:00:28,460
organisations and entire friendship groups.

1615
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:29,880
And now you can't talk truth in front

1616
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:30,380
of that person.

1617
01:00:30,460 --> 01:00:32,060
And you know, you can't, because what you're

1618
01:00:32,060 --> 01:00:35,120
saying is you as a parent have done

1619
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,360
a truly like human rights abuse, an awful

1620
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,000
thing to your child that cannot be fixed.

1621
01:00:41,460 --> 01:00:44,160
There are specific individuals who are really actively

1622
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,600
against women's rights here.

1623
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,620
And it's not known why they are, but

1624
01:00:48,620 --> 01:00:49,980
I happen to know through the back channels

1625
01:00:49,980 --> 01:00:51,580
that it's because they've trans their child.

1626
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,460
And so those people will do anything for

1627
01:00:54,460 --> 01:00:56,680
the entire rest of their lives to destroy

1628
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,780
me and people like me, because people like

1629
01:00:58,780 --> 01:01:00,060
me are a standing reproach to them.

1630
01:01:00,540 --> 01:01:01,460
I don't want to be.

1631
01:01:01,540 --> 01:01:02,620
I'm not talking directly to them.

1632
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,180
I don't spend my time bitching about them.

1633
01:01:04,420 --> 01:01:06,100
But the fact is that just simply by

1634
01:01:06,100 --> 01:01:10,020
saying we will never accept natal males in

1635
01:01:10,020 --> 01:01:10,640
women's spaces.

1636
01:01:11,780 --> 01:01:13,440
Well, it's their son that we're talking about.

1637
01:01:13,620 --> 01:01:15,080
And they've told their son that he can

1638
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,980
get himself sterilised and destroy his sexual function

1639
01:01:17,980 --> 01:01:19,680
and women will accept him as a woman.

1640
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,880
And if we don't, there's no way back

1641
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:23,780
for them and their child.

1642
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,320
They've sold their child a bill of goods

1643
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:27,560
that they can't deliver on.

1644
01:01:27,900 --> 01:01:29,060
And I'm the one who has to be

1645
01:01:29,060 --> 01:01:31,260
bullied to try to force me to deliver

1646
01:01:31,260 --> 01:01:31,680
on it.

1647
01:01:32,380 --> 01:01:34,000
So those people are going to be the

1648
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,720
people who will keep this bloody movement going,

1649
01:01:36,900 --> 01:01:39,820
I'm sorry to say, because they've everything to

1650
01:01:39,820 --> 01:01:40,120
lose.

1651
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,320
Yeah, we've played Helen Joyce before.

1652
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,120
See, I'm not going to play them now,

1653
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:53,900
but male erotic fixation leads to children must

1654
01:01:53,900 --> 01:01:57,780
be trans and trans Maoist parents fighting to

1655
01:01:57,780 --> 01:01:58,040
the death.

1656
01:01:58,100 --> 01:01:59,660
She's been very consistent in this.

1657
01:02:00,180 --> 01:02:01,760
Can we, in the United States at least,

1658
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,300
can we put this squarely on the shoulders

1659
01:02:04,300 --> 01:02:06,300
of the Democrat Party now is the question?

1660
01:02:08,510 --> 01:02:10,270
It's an interesting coincidence.

1661
01:02:12,700 --> 01:02:13,460
What do you mean?

1662
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:13,880
To me.

1663
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:15,200
What do you mean, coincidence?

1664
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:21,460
Well, that most trans advocates and trans Maoists

1665
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,340
and people who trans their kids and Hollywood

1666
01:02:24,340 --> 01:02:28,000
people in particular, Jamie Lee Curtis, Megan Fox,

1667
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,820
and all these others that have boys that

1668
01:02:30,820 --> 01:02:33,300
made them into girls or vice versa, depending.

1669
01:02:34,460 --> 01:02:36,360
And they're all Democrats.

1670
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,140
I don't, I suppose there's a Republican or

1671
01:02:40,140 --> 01:02:42,260
two out there that has a trans kid

1672
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,440
who may be really, I mean, there are

1673
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,960
people that do have genuine gender dysphoria, but

1674
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:50,440
it's incredibly rare.

1675
01:02:50,580 --> 01:02:53,880
It's not, this is highly, this is a

1676
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:54,720
movement.

1677
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:56,340
This is not, this is something else.

1678
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:00,680
This is what she calls a social contagion

1679
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:02,160
is what she uses.

1680
01:03:02,220 --> 01:03:03,100
Contagion is the right word.

1681
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:04,460
I mean, it's totally contagion.

1682
01:03:04,540 --> 01:03:05,580
Well, it's like June bugs.

1683
01:03:05,740 --> 01:03:08,800
I mean, it's hysteria that's created this.

1684
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,880
And also a few scientists and some pediatricians,

1685
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,080
including the American Pediatrics Board and these, the

1686
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,440
horrible pediatrician, which I said before, I think

1687
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,020
is the worst of all the doctors.

1688
01:03:23,300 --> 01:03:25,860
And, you know, with their vaccine schedules and

1689
01:03:25,860 --> 01:03:28,380
they kick people out of their, if you

1690
01:03:28,380 --> 01:03:29,940
don't want the vaccine, you won't, you can't

1691
01:03:29,940 --> 01:03:32,220
even go to them kind of problem we've

1692
01:03:32,220 --> 01:03:33,080
talked about on the show.

1693
01:03:35,860 --> 01:03:37,540
So it's just Democrats.

1694
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,640
I mean, there, I suppose there's probably gotta

1695
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,100
be a Republican there somewhere, but it's largely,

1696
01:03:43,300 --> 01:03:46,740
I'd say 90% plus Democrats Democrats.

1697
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:48,720
So why is it Democrats?

1698
01:03:51,140 --> 01:03:56,200
Democrats and the media, the media, which is

1699
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,160
90% Democrats too.

1700
01:03:58,220 --> 01:03:59,140
This is just Democrats.

1701
01:03:59,340 --> 01:04:01,120
So we're talking about Democrats.

1702
01:04:01,460 --> 01:04:01,680
Yes.

1703
01:04:01,780 --> 01:04:02,120
Why?

1704
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,600
Well, it's because, well, trans Maoism, it's a

1705
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,180
Marxist movement and it's Marxism.

1706
01:04:08,260 --> 01:04:09,340
There's Marxism behind it.

1707
01:04:09,340 --> 01:04:10,180
That's gotta be it.

1708
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,100
And it became a form of religion, which

1709
01:04:12,100 --> 01:04:13,860
is what the Marxists always try to do.

1710
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,880
Right, because they don't, because they're atheists.

1711
01:04:17,660 --> 01:04:18,100
Traditional religions.

1712
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:18,520
Yes.

1713
01:04:19,140 --> 01:04:21,160
I want to talk just briefly about the

1714
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,440
tariffs that were on and then were off.

1715
01:04:24,900 --> 01:04:29,600
And I think that this on and off

1716
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,520
and wait for a month, to me, I

1717
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,180
think it was a test that President Trump

1718
01:04:34,180 --> 01:04:36,700
ran to see how the dollar would respond,

1719
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:38,340
which was quite interesting.

1720
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,340
I mean, the dollar just skyrocketed in value

1721
01:04:41,340 --> 01:04:42,520
and then he took them off and they

1722
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:43,400
went right back down.

1723
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,020
One of our producers sent me a paper

1724
01:04:46,020 --> 01:04:50,520
written in November, 24th of November, 2024, by

1725
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,160
Trump's Chairman of Economic Advisers, Stephen Mirren.

1726
01:04:55,220 --> 01:04:59,240
And he talks about the Triffin Dilemma, which

1727
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,240
I'd never, or sometimes known as the Triffin

1728
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:01,800
Paradox.

1729
01:05:01,900 --> 01:05:02,980
Have you ever heard of this before?

1730
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:05,140
No.

1731
01:05:05,580 --> 01:05:11,160
The Triffin Paradox, written, identified by Belgian economist,

1732
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:13,540
or Belgian-American economist, Robert Triffin in the

1733
01:05:13,540 --> 01:05:14,060
60s.

1734
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:20,320
His basic thesis was that the problem with

1735
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,320
a country having the reserve currency that is

1736
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:28,240
over time, your currency, the US dollar, becomes

1737
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:32,360
overvalued so that you almost naturally have to

1738
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:35,960
shift all of your production overseas because it

1739
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:37,880
just becomes much cheaper everywhere.

1740
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,060
And the paper is 47 pages and I

1741
01:05:42,060 --> 01:05:45,040
was going through it and I'm trying to

1742
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,160
mark stuff up and my brain is just

1743
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:48,460
certainly hurting.

1744
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,200
But it seems, what he is saying is

1745
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,140
that, so if you put a tariff of

1746
01:05:54,140 --> 01:05:58,820
10% on goods, it does hurt local,

1747
01:05:59,420 --> 01:06:02,700
it does have a slight inflationary effect on

1748
01:06:02,700 --> 01:06:05,360
goods that you import.

1749
01:06:05,540 --> 01:06:07,320
But he says it's more like 50 basis

1750
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,160
points, 1% tops.

1751
01:06:09,860 --> 01:06:14,000
But then when you get to 20%, there's

1752
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:15,620
so much pain in the market and if

1753
01:06:15,620 --> 01:06:18,520
simultaneously you can bring down interest rates, there's

1754
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,340
so much pain in these overseas markets they

1755
01:06:21,340 --> 01:06:23,700
have to shift their, they have to go

1756
01:06:23,700 --> 01:06:25,780
through a separate country, China is already doing

1757
01:06:25,780 --> 01:06:26,360
that of course.

1758
01:06:26,500 --> 01:06:28,420
Oh, it's coming from Vietnam, it's not coming

1759
01:06:28,420 --> 01:06:30,180
from China, it's coming from somewhere else.

1760
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:31,040
Mexico.

1761
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:32,420
Mexico, exactly.

1762
01:06:33,940 --> 01:06:38,060
That there is a way to prevent the

1763
01:06:38,060 --> 01:06:42,620
country from going into the Triffin paradox death

1764
01:06:42,620 --> 01:06:45,620
spiral and all the numbers that he has

1765
01:06:45,620 --> 01:06:47,780
in this paper, like the 60% we've

1766
01:06:47,780 --> 01:06:50,640
heard President Trump talk about, they're all in

1767
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:50,960
there.

1768
01:06:51,500 --> 01:06:53,620
And so it seems like President Trump is

1769
01:06:53,620 --> 01:06:56,300
trying to figure out what he can do

1770
01:06:56,300 --> 01:07:00,760
because he needs a reset of the global

1771
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,320
financial system, not the way the World Economic

1772
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:05,540
Forum wants to do it.

1773
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,280
And this guy, I think it's pretty funny,

1774
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,280
he says look for a new Bretton Woods

1775
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,720
Accord and he says since all of these

1776
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,120
Accords have always been named after the resort

1777
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:18,600
where they came up with it and signed

1778
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:20,180
it, he says we should be on the

1779
01:07:20,180 --> 01:07:22,940
lookout for a Mar-a-Lago Accord where

1780
01:07:22,940 --> 01:07:26,420
somehow the currencies will be reset.

1781
01:07:27,780 --> 01:07:30,500
And I know we have really smart people

1782
01:07:30,500 --> 01:07:35,640
out in Gitmo Nation, so any simplification of

1783
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,280
this process would be appreciated.

1784
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:41,420
And at the same time, the stable coin

1785
01:07:41,420 --> 01:07:47,020
gambit seems to be playing up with the

1786
01:07:47,020 --> 01:07:50,640
most interesting people at the table, especially this,

1787
01:07:51,740 --> 01:07:55,260
what's the guy's name, from Cantor Fitzgerald.

1788
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:58,860
Hold on a second, I have his name

1789
01:07:58,860 --> 01:07:59,480
here somewhere.

1790
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:00,480
Lutnick.

1791
01:08:01,580 --> 01:08:02,620
Oh yeah, Lutnick.

1792
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:03,740
And so...

1793
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,680
Musk's a big fan of this guy.

1794
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:08,240
Oh yeah, well there's no doubt and we

1795
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:09,060
have to talk about that.

1796
01:08:09,140 --> 01:08:12,620
But so here's two clips about the president

1797
01:08:12,620 --> 01:08:16,060
signed the executive order for the Sovereign Wealth

1798
01:08:16,060 --> 01:08:16,500
Fund.

1799
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:18,180
This is an executive order.

1800
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,880
This charges your Secretary of the Treasury, Scott

1801
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,100
Besson, and your Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick,

1802
01:08:24,580 --> 01:08:26,880
to begin a process that will hopefully result

1803
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,260
in the creation of an American Sovereign Wealth

1804
01:08:29,260 --> 01:08:29,540
Fund.

1805
01:08:30,660 --> 01:08:33,540
It's a very exciting event.

1806
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,220
We're going to have a Sovereign Wealth Fund,

1807
01:08:36,279 --> 01:08:37,200
which we've never had.

1808
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:39,500
We have a lot of things that create

1809
01:08:39,500 --> 01:08:42,540
wealth and seeing that over the last two

1810
01:08:42,540 --> 01:08:44,240
weeks, I think we've created more wealth.

1811
01:08:45,060 --> 01:08:46,840
Other people have created de-wealth.

1812
01:08:47,319 --> 01:08:49,740
The people, my predecessors, we're creating a lot

1813
01:08:49,740 --> 01:08:50,080
of wealth.

1814
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,120
Scott, maybe you'd like to say something about

1815
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,700
it and I'd ask also Howard to say

1816
01:08:55,700 --> 01:08:56,600
something about it.

1817
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:58,880
So first we get Scott Besson and he's

1818
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:00,120
going to say, oh yeah, we're going to

1819
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,479
put all kinds of assets into the Sovereign

1820
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:06,140
Wealth Fund, which to me means perhaps tokenizing

1821
01:09:06,140 --> 01:09:07,680
our public lands.

1822
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:09,200
I mean, there's all kinds of things that

1823
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:10,520
have been discussed in this regard.

1824
01:09:11,979 --> 01:09:13,880
Yes, sir, this is very exciting.

1825
01:09:14,660 --> 01:09:16,899
We're going to stand this thing up.

1826
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,279
Within the next 12 months, we're going to

1827
01:09:20,279 --> 01:09:24,060
monetize the asset side of the U.S.

1828
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,160
balance sheet for the American people.

1829
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:27,560
Now, how do you take that?

1830
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,640
Monetizing the asset side of the balance sheet

1831
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:31,779
for the American people.

1832
01:09:31,779 --> 01:09:32,819
How do you take that?

1833
01:09:33,060 --> 01:09:34,080
Just what you said.

1834
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,439
Yeah, it's like we got oil.

1835
01:09:36,460 --> 01:09:38,439
What are American assets?

1836
01:09:38,580 --> 01:09:41,180
Whether it's the industrial base is considered an

1837
01:09:41,180 --> 01:09:44,800
American asset, but the federal government owns like

1838
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:46,920
half the land in this country, which a

1839
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:48,939
lot of people, including Milton Friedman, think was

1840
01:09:48,939 --> 01:09:49,760
a bad idea.

1841
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,380
We shouldn't own any land, but we own

1842
01:09:51,380 --> 01:09:51,740
it.

1843
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,960
And the land is valuable, especially in some

1844
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,340
places, like certain states, California, for example.

1845
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,360
That's an asset, big one.

1846
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:01,780
All right.

1847
01:10:02,140 --> 01:10:05,860
We're going to put the assets to work.

1848
01:10:06,740 --> 01:10:08,220
And I think- That's tokenization.

1849
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:10,220
I guarantee you they're going to make it

1850
01:10:10,220 --> 01:10:11,200
into some kind of crypto.

1851
01:10:11,740 --> 01:10:13,120
It's going to be very exciting.

1852
01:10:13,220 --> 01:10:15,080
We're going to study best practices that's done

1853
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:15,860
around the world.

1854
01:10:16,220 --> 01:10:19,700
It'll be a combination of liquid assets, assets

1855
01:10:19,700 --> 01:10:22,480
that we have in this country as we

1856
01:10:22,480 --> 01:10:26,040
work to bring them out for the American

1857
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:26,460
people.

1858
01:10:27,660 --> 01:10:31,420
The extraordinary size and scale of the U

1859
01:10:31,420 --> 01:10:34,040
.S. government and the business it does with

1860
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:39,240
companies should create value for American citizens.

1861
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:41,640
If we are going to buy 2 billion

1862
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:45,280
COVID vaccines, maybe we should have some warrants

1863
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,820
and some equity in these companies and have

1864
01:10:47,820 --> 01:10:50,760
that grow for the help of the American

1865
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:51,100
people.

1866
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:53,660
So bring all these things together, I think

1867
01:10:53,660 --> 01:10:56,700
Scott and I will create an amazing sovereign

1868
01:10:56,700 --> 01:10:57,600
wealth fund for you, sir.

1869
01:10:57,720 --> 01:10:58,640
So that's Ludnick.

1870
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,420
And you could not have used a worse

1871
01:11:00,420 --> 01:11:02,960
example, you dumb dumbo.

1872
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:05,900
Like, oh, yeah, we buy 2 million COVID

1873
01:11:05,900 --> 01:11:06,380
vaccines.

1874
01:11:06,740 --> 01:11:07,060
2 billion.

1875
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:08,280
Did he say 2 billion?

1876
01:11:08,820 --> 01:11:09,700
He's stupid.

1877
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:11,160
What a stupid thing to say.

1878
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:13,140
Now, Ludnick...

1879
01:11:13,140 --> 01:11:14,460
Yeah, that was dumb.

1880
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:16,260
In fact, that got a lot of attention.

1881
01:11:16,500 --> 01:11:17,460
As it should.

1882
01:11:17,620 --> 01:11:20,320
I think that Ludnick owns about 5%

1883
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:20,980
of Tether.

1884
01:11:21,420 --> 01:11:25,940
Tether owns, I think, about $150 billion worth

1885
01:11:25,940 --> 01:11:27,160
of U.S. debt.

1886
01:11:27,660 --> 01:11:30,160
I believe that part of the gambit here

1887
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:33,260
is to spread our debt amongst the global

1888
01:11:33,260 --> 01:11:36,220
poor by issuing...

1889
01:11:36,220 --> 01:11:37,960
Listen, by issuing...

1890
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,120
Well, we're good at this stuff like that.

1891
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:41,780
We have never done this one.

1892
01:11:42,300 --> 01:11:45,660
By issuing stable coins based upon debt that

1893
01:11:45,660 --> 01:11:46,860
we keep in America.

1894
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:49,900
And, you know, because Tether, they make like

1895
01:11:49,900 --> 01:11:53,620
$4 billion a year just by holding $100

1896
01:11:53,620 --> 01:11:56,200
billion worth of paper, and there's like 20

1897
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:57,280
people at the company.

1898
01:11:57,720 --> 01:11:59,020
Like, oh, they just hold the paper, they

1899
01:11:59,020 --> 01:12:02,660
get the interest, and they issue these stable

1900
01:12:02,660 --> 01:12:05,380
coins so we can continue to use the...

1901
01:12:05,380 --> 01:12:06,320
It'll probably be Tether.

1902
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:08,760
Use the stable coins as, you know, hey,

1903
01:12:08,820 --> 01:12:10,340
everybody can use our dollars now.

1904
01:12:10,460 --> 01:12:12,700
Everybody, it's digital, it goes everywhere.

1905
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,620
It devalues, but okay, you know.

1906
01:12:16,140 --> 01:12:21,060
There's something at play here, including having assets

1907
01:12:21,060 --> 01:12:23,480
of companies in the sovereign wealth funds.

1908
01:12:23,620 --> 01:12:28,020
Very, very different type of economics for us.

1909
01:12:28,180 --> 01:12:31,240
And then, of course, President Trump tries to

1910
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:32,640
popularize that with this.

1911
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:36,100
Other countries have sovereign wealth funds, and they're

1912
01:12:36,100 --> 01:12:38,580
much smaller countries, and they're not the United

1913
01:12:38,580 --> 01:12:38,940
States.

1914
01:12:39,100 --> 01:12:41,180
We have tremendous potential in this country.

1915
01:12:41,420 --> 01:12:41,860
Tremendous.

1916
01:12:41,980 --> 01:12:43,900
You're seeing that, what's happened just in a

1917
01:12:43,900 --> 01:12:44,800
short period of time.

1918
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,000
And as an example, TikTok, we're gonna be

1919
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,060
doing something perhaps with TikTok.

1920
01:12:50,440 --> 01:12:51,320
Perhaps not.

1921
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:52,820
If we make the right deal, we'll do

1922
01:12:52,820 --> 01:12:52,960
it.

1923
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:53,700
Otherwise, we won't.

1924
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:55,500
So we're gonna own half of TikTok.

1925
01:12:55,700 --> 01:12:56,440
This is amazing.

1926
01:12:56,860 --> 01:12:58,360
But I have the right to do that,

1927
01:12:58,580 --> 01:13:00,320
and we might put that in the sovereign

1928
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,280
wealth fund, whatever we make, or if we

1929
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:05,180
do a partnership with very wealthy people.

1930
01:13:05,180 --> 01:13:07,420
There are a lot of options, but we

1931
01:13:07,420 --> 01:13:09,300
could put that as an example in the

1932
01:13:09,300 --> 01:13:09,940
fund.

1933
01:13:10,020 --> 01:13:11,180
And we have a lot of other things

1934
01:13:11,180 --> 01:13:12,340
that we could put in the fund.

1935
01:13:12,440 --> 01:13:14,260
And I think in a short period of

1936
01:13:14,260 --> 01:13:15,720
time, we'd have one of the biggest funds.

1937
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,120
And, you know, some of them are pretty

1938
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:19,400
large, I must tell you.

1939
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:20,280
Some of the...

1940
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:23,420
Like the Saudi Arabia fund is on the

1941
01:13:23,420 --> 01:13:24,080
large side.

1942
01:13:24,780 --> 01:13:26,460
But eventually, we'll catch it.

1943
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:28,780
But we're gonna create a lot of wealth

1944
01:13:28,780 --> 01:13:29,480
for the fund.

1945
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:31,560
And I think it's about time that this

1946
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,320
country had a sovereign wealth fund and these

1947
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:36,120
two gentlemen and some others are gonna work

1948
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:37,140
with them very closely.

1949
01:13:37,300 --> 01:13:38,780
And they'll be heading it up, and they're

1950
01:13:38,780 --> 01:13:40,380
gonna do a great job.

1951
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:43,060
Two highly respected people that have done unbelievably

1952
01:13:43,060 --> 01:13:45,680
well in the world, in the real world.

1953
01:13:46,220 --> 01:13:47,820
So that's a big deal, huh?

1954
01:13:48,260 --> 01:13:49,000
Yeah, it's a big deal.

1955
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,400
I think it's gonna create value and be

1956
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:52,940
of great strategic importance.

1957
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:53,980
Yes, all right.

1958
01:13:54,500 --> 01:13:58,020
And a lot of publications are saying, you

1959
01:13:58,020 --> 01:14:00,300
know, this could stave off a debt crisis

1960
01:14:00,300 --> 01:14:02,260
because we keep the debt in the United

1961
01:14:02,260 --> 01:14:03,060
States.

1962
01:14:04,260 --> 01:14:08,940
Of course, the entire Bitcoin community is saying,

1963
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,800
ah, this is where our strategic Bitcoin reserve

1964
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:12,500
goes.

1965
01:14:13,060 --> 01:14:14,100
I mean, we'll see.

1966
01:14:14,440 --> 01:14:16,700
But man, you know, Trump is...

1967
01:14:16,700 --> 01:14:19,120
People forget that he's a macro guy.

1968
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:22,020
And I just hope to God that he's

1969
01:14:22,020 --> 01:14:25,220
getting some good advice because this sounds sketchy

1970
01:14:25,220 --> 01:14:25,840
at best.

1971
01:14:26,660 --> 01:14:28,580
But the stablecoin thing, I don't know.

1972
01:14:28,580 --> 01:14:29,680
I mean, maybe it's brilliant.

1973
01:14:30,460 --> 01:14:34,840
But ultimately, you keep issuing paper so everybody

1974
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:36,540
has the dollar, except they get it in

1975
01:14:36,540 --> 01:14:38,520
a digital form of a stablecoin, of a

1976
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:38,780
tether.

1977
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,280
It still devalues our money.

1978
01:14:46,440 --> 01:14:47,580
They have to do something.

1979
01:14:48,940 --> 01:14:49,040
Yeah.

1980
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,520
And if anybody wants to listen to some...

1981
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:52,820
I mean, I have to...

1982
01:14:52,820 --> 01:14:54,580
I don't like plugging the guy.

1983
01:14:55,180 --> 01:14:56,020
Mark Levin!

1984
01:14:56,540 --> 01:14:57,520
Hello, America!

1985
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:03,520
So he does a Sunday show on...

1986
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:04,240
On CNN.

1987
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:05,700
No, on Fox.

1988
01:15:05,860 --> 01:15:06,180
Fox?

1989
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,100
He does a Fox show on Sundays.

1990
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:10,640
And it's this...

1991
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:11,700
I don't know how many people watch it,

1992
01:15:11,740 --> 01:15:12,640
but it's just basically...

1993
01:15:13,260 --> 01:15:14,000
He does two...

1994
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:15,840
One on Saturday and one on Sunday.

1995
01:15:16,300 --> 01:15:18,580
And it's basically a one-hour lecture.

1996
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,080
It's nothing more...

1997
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:21,080
Well, actually, I take it back.

1998
01:15:21,100 --> 01:15:22,540
It's about a half-hour lecture, and then

1999
01:15:22,540 --> 01:15:24,100
he brings some people on to talk about

2000
01:15:24,100 --> 01:15:24,620
the lecture.

2001
01:15:25,020 --> 01:15:27,000
How good was my lecture?

2002
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:28,640
How good was I in this?

2003
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:29,440
What do you think?

2004
01:15:30,700 --> 01:15:32,120
You know, he's a...

2005
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:33,400
I have to say this.

2006
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:35,720
I mean, he's a smart guy.

2007
01:15:35,860 --> 01:15:36,120
He's good.

2008
01:15:36,700 --> 01:15:37,620
His books are good.

2009
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:38,320
He's the great one!

2010
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:38,640
He's the great one!

2011
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:39,780
He's the...

2012
01:15:39,780 --> 01:15:40,440
They stopped...

2013
01:15:40,440 --> 01:15:41,920
By the way, I noticed that's kind of

2014
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:42,180
dissipated.

2015
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:43,000
Oh.

2016
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:44,320
The great one concept.

2017
01:15:44,460 --> 01:15:44,900
Oh, interesting.

2018
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:49,020
But he is pretentious as hell because he

2019
01:15:49,020 --> 01:15:51,440
starts his radio program on...

2020
01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:52,460
During the week.

2021
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:54,480
Every show, like all during the week, the

2022
01:15:54,480 --> 01:15:56,800
show starts with the national anthem.

2023
01:15:58,080 --> 01:15:59,820
I mean, give me a break.

2024
01:15:59,820 --> 01:16:01,320
Hey, well, we start this show with the

2025
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:01,940
national anthem.

2026
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,840
I mean, the national Gitmo Nation anthem, but

2027
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:04,640
we do start with the anthem.

2028
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:06,660
We actually don't start the show with it.

2029
01:16:07,180 --> 01:16:08,440
We rile everybody up.

2030
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:09,140
We rile everybody up.

2031
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:09,920
That's in the pre-show.

2032
01:16:10,060 --> 01:16:10,640
It's in the pre-show.

2033
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:12,780
It's like the guy who comes out in

2034
01:16:12,780 --> 01:16:14,000
the comedy special.

2035
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:16,100
What's the guy called?

2036
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:17,540
The audience guy who comes out there?

2037
01:16:18,500 --> 01:16:18,900
The...

2038
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:20,260
Not the fluffer.

2039
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:21,020
That's a different kind of...

2040
01:16:21,020 --> 01:16:22,580
What's that guy called, the guy who comes

2041
01:16:22,580 --> 01:16:22,780
out?

2042
01:16:22,780 --> 01:16:23,780
The audience...

2043
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:26,200
I forget what the guy's called.

2044
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:27,080
The warm-up guy.

2045
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:28,260
The warm-up guy, yeah.

2046
01:16:29,380 --> 01:16:31,560
He's slamming, he's got the script rolled up,

2047
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:33,080
and he's like, all right, everybody, let's practice

2048
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:34,060
your cheers.

2049
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:35,320
Yeah, there we go.

2050
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:35,620
Woo!

2051
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:37,460
Okay, when the sign goes on...

2052
01:16:37,460 --> 01:16:37,940
Jumps up and down.

2053
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:39,080
Gets everybody all worked up.

2054
01:16:39,140 --> 01:16:39,460
Yes.

2055
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:40,400
Audience fluffer.

2056
01:16:41,660 --> 01:16:42,460
So let's...

2057
01:16:42,460 --> 01:16:44,920
So anyway, so Levin, I think it was

2058
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,180
the last Sunday, he does a lecture on...

2059
01:16:47,180 --> 01:16:49,240
That's Darren O'Neill for us, the pre

2060
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:49,740
-show guy.

2061
01:16:50,340 --> 01:16:51,400
That's what he does.

2062
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:52,380
Yeah, yeah.

2063
01:16:52,380 --> 01:16:53,380
Pretty much.

2064
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:54,000
Yeah, he does it.

2065
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:54,560
He's good.

2066
01:16:55,940 --> 01:16:59,520
He gave a lecture on the real debt,

2067
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,480
and he claims that because the Social Security

2068
01:17:03,480 --> 01:17:06,020
and Medicare, which are separate funds that are

2069
01:17:06,020 --> 01:17:11,320
supposed to be kind of walled off, even

2070
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:14,060
though the money was stolen from them, that's

2071
01:17:14,060 --> 01:17:15,840
why people say, oh, the Social Security is

2072
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:16,860
going to be out of business, so and

2073
01:17:16,860 --> 01:17:19,020
so, in five years we're going to be

2074
01:17:19,020 --> 01:17:19,420
out of money.

2075
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:24,640
It's technically impossible, based on the original plans

2076
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:27,040
for Social Security, because when you pay your

2077
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:29,740
withholding, or if you're working for a company,

2078
01:17:29,820 --> 01:17:31,800
you have your taxes, it says withholding tax,

2079
01:17:32,020 --> 01:17:33,400
and then you see a little line that

2080
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:34,820
says SS, Social Security.

2081
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:35,180
Yeah.

2082
01:17:35,220 --> 01:17:36,180
You pay that separately.

2083
01:17:36,300 --> 01:17:37,400
That's not tax.

2084
01:17:37,540 --> 01:17:39,120
No, that's theft.

2085
01:17:41,100 --> 01:17:43,680
And it turns out that they've been taking

2086
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:45,760
that and acting as it was tax, and

2087
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:46,800
they're stolen the money.

2088
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:51,700
According to Levin, we're actually 150 plus trillion

2089
01:17:51,700 --> 01:17:56,840
in debt, because of this money that's been

2090
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:57,960
stolen from Social Security.

2091
01:17:58,100 --> 01:18:00,960
Everybody gets a tether here.

2092
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,060
You get a trillion-dollar coin.

2093
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:04,000
Yeah, a tether.

2094
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:04,680
You get a tether.

2095
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:06,220
Basically, the trillion-dollar coin.

2096
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:06,480
Yeah.

2097
01:18:07,100 --> 01:18:11,580
So the point I'm trying to make, I

2098
01:18:11,580 --> 01:18:13,140
think, I think the point I'm trying to

2099
01:18:13,140 --> 01:18:15,100
make is that we have to do something

2100
01:18:15,100 --> 01:18:17,600
drastic, because we're broke.

2101
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:18,520
Yeah.

2102
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:23,000
What I found interesting in that paper is

2103
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,540
he said, the way you do it, these

2104
01:18:25,540 --> 01:18:29,640
tariffs, is you tie it to national security,

2105
01:18:29,780 --> 01:18:32,560
which is exactly what President Trump did.

2106
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:36,680
He tied it to immigration and fentanyl.

2107
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:39,640
So it seems like something here is playing

2108
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:41,720
out, and I like the idea of the

2109
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:42,940
Mar-a-Lago Accords.

2110
01:18:43,020 --> 01:18:44,380
I think that's a genius name.

2111
01:18:44,380 --> 01:18:46,700
And it seems like, oh, yeah, so we

2112
01:18:46,700 --> 01:18:48,200
can just kind of wait for something to

2113
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:48,460
happen.

2114
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:48,860
I agree.

2115
01:18:49,100 --> 01:18:50,540
They have to do something.

2116
01:18:51,380 --> 01:18:54,860
Something has to happen, or, yeah, because we're

2117
01:18:54,860 --> 01:18:57,840
broke, and if we go broke, it's not

2118
01:18:57,840 --> 01:18:58,660
good for the world.

2119
01:18:59,500 --> 01:19:00,860
Everybody has a problem then.

2120
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:02,040
Everyone's holding our paper.

2121
01:19:02,940 --> 01:19:03,360
Our paper.

2122
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,280
So that was that.

2123
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:11,200
Do you want to talk about Magaza?

2124
01:19:13,340 --> 01:19:13,820
Magaza.

2125
01:19:13,820 --> 01:19:14,820
Yeah, Magagaza.

2126
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:15,920
Magaza.

2127
01:19:16,140 --> 01:19:17,160
That's the new thing.

2128
01:19:17,300 --> 01:19:17,700
Magaza.

2129
01:19:18,700 --> 01:19:20,080
Everybody's talking about Magaza.

2130
01:19:20,620 --> 01:19:23,040
Well, that was, you know, to me, just

2131
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:24,820
to pray, yeah, you've got, I maybe have

2132
01:19:24,820 --> 01:19:25,280
one clip.

2133
01:19:25,300 --> 01:19:26,300
I don't have a lot on it.

2134
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:28,020
I mean, I do have some thoughts, and

2135
01:19:28,020 --> 01:19:30,900
my thought was that during, because everyone's acting,

2136
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:32,680
I like the way everyone acts so cool

2137
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,860
because Trump's put these guys, and including Netanyahu.

2138
01:19:37,260 --> 01:19:38,760
Oh, yeah, no, no, this is not a

2139
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:39,100
big shock.

2140
01:19:39,420 --> 01:19:42,400
What Trump did with this comment about, we're

2141
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,260
going to just take over Gaza and then

2142
01:19:44,260 --> 01:19:45,700
turn it into a resort.

2143
01:19:46,860 --> 01:19:50,360
It was exactly the same, and I have

2144
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:51,240
a term for it.

2145
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,440
I now have a term for this, what

2146
01:19:53,440 --> 01:19:54,680
Trump's doing.

2147
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:56,360
It's on here.

2148
01:19:56,500 --> 01:19:58,180
It's called the blurt.

2149
01:19:58,620 --> 01:19:59,100
The blurt.

2150
01:19:59,480 --> 01:20:00,120
The blurt.

2151
01:20:00,540 --> 01:20:02,720
And this is basically what he did with,

2152
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:04,220
they're eating the dogs.

2153
01:20:04,820 --> 01:20:05,900
We're going to own it.

2154
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:06,880
We're going to own it.

2155
01:20:07,900 --> 01:20:10,200
So I have the Gaza blurt, and I

2156
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:12,100
think Trump just did it on the fly.

2157
01:20:12,260 --> 01:20:14,140
I don't care what anybody thinks because it's

2158
01:20:14,140 --> 01:20:16,860
like we're eating the dogs, and now everybody's,

2159
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,540
and Mike Johnson was one of them, and

2160
01:20:19,540 --> 01:20:20,740
so was Rubio.

2161
01:20:21,540 --> 01:20:22,900
Well, they walked it back.

2162
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:24,340
I have the walking it back clip.

2163
01:20:24,900 --> 01:20:26,400
Well, let's play this.

2164
01:20:26,460 --> 01:20:28,940
Here's the initial Gaza blurt clip from NTD,

2165
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,380
which I think probably gets us off to

2166
01:20:31,380 --> 01:20:32,020
a good start.

2167
01:20:32,260 --> 01:20:34,460
Today we got some more clarification from the

2168
01:20:34,460 --> 01:20:34,840
White House.

2169
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,240
A day after President Trump suggested he wants

2170
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,420
the U.S. to take over Gaza and

2171
01:20:39,420 --> 01:20:41,220
own it, the White House says that President

2172
01:20:41,220 --> 01:20:43,960
Trump is not planning to use American taxpayer

2173
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:46,980
dollars to fund reconstruction efforts in Gaza, and

2174
01:20:46,980 --> 01:20:49,400
nor is he committed yet to send any

2175
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:50,300
U.S. troops there.

2176
01:20:50,620 --> 01:20:50,720
Watch.

2177
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,260
The president has not committed to putting boots

2178
01:20:53,260 --> 01:20:54,420
on the ground in Gaza.

2179
01:20:54,820 --> 01:20:56,440
He has also said that the United States

2180
01:20:56,440 --> 01:20:58,000
is not going to pay for the rebuilding

2181
01:20:58,000 --> 01:20:58,580
of Gaza.

2182
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:01,400
His administration is going to work with our

2183
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:05,340
partners in the region to reconstruct this region.

2184
01:21:05,420 --> 01:21:07,040
And let me just take a step back

2185
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,360
here because this is an out-of-the

2186
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:10,040
-box idea.

2187
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:11,640
That's who President Trump is.

2188
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:13,700
That's why the American people elected him.

2189
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:16,100
Meanwhile, last night, during a joint press conference

2190
01:21:16,100 --> 01:21:18,740
with Israeli Prime Minister, President Trump did not

2191
01:21:18,740 --> 01:21:21,200
rule out sending troops as an option, saying

2192
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:22,580
he might if it's necessary.

2193
01:21:23,020 --> 01:21:25,400
Given what you've said about Gaza, did the

2194
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:28,460
U.S. send troops to help secure the

2195
01:21:28,460 --> 01:21:29,420
security vacuum?

2196
01:21:29,580 --> 01:21:31,860
As far as Gaza is concerned, we'll do

2197
01:21:31,860 --> 01:21:33,260
what is necessary.

2198
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:34,800
If it's necessary, we'll do that.

2199
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,560
And when asked about why President Trump would

2200
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:39,260
not rule out as an option, the White

2201
01:21:39,260 --> 01:21:41,420
House press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, told us today

2202
01:21:41,420 --> 01:21:43,780
that she believes it's part of Trump's negotiating

2203
01:21:43,780 --> 01:21:46,660
tactics and that he will make a deal

2204
01:21:46,660 --> 01:21:49,320
on that, adding that it's to keep the

2205
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,120
option open as leverage in negotiations.

2206
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:54,560
And meanwhile, last night, Trump also proposed a

2207
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:57,820
mass and permanent resettlement for Palestinians living in

2208
01:21:57,820 --> 01:21:58,160
Gaza.

2209
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,040
And the White House said he's seemingly walking

2210
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,320
it back, saying that Palestinians will only need

2211
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:06,280
to be temporarily relocated as the reconstruction efforts

2212
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:06,960
play out.

2213
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:08,700
But the White House does stress to us,

2214
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:10,480
though, that the U.S. is getting involved

2215
01:22:10,480 --> 01:22:12,940
in the reconstruction efforts and that is to

2216
01:22:12,940 --> 01:22:16,060
ensure stability in the region, adding that President

2217
01:22:16,060 --> 01:22:18,580
Trump is a great dealmaker and will strike

2218
01:22:18,580 --> 01:22:20,140
a deal with regional partners.

2219
01:22:20,460 --> 01:22:23,300
I think you've really hit on something.

2220
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,640
The blurt is exactly what it is.

2221
01:22:26,020 --> 01:22:29,700
And every blurt with this president is a

2222
01:22:29,700 --> 01:22:30,680
negotiating point.

2223
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:32,540
I'm going to say something here.

2224
01:22:32,540 --> 01:22:35,140
I'm sure he does this in business deals.

2225
01:22:35,620 --> 01:22:37,600
I'm going to put you out of business.

2226
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:38,440
It's just out of the blue.

2227
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:40,900
It just hits him on the spur of

2228
01:22:40,900 --> 01:22:43,220
the moment because we're eating the dogs.

2229
01:22:44,660 --> 01:22:45,940
You could just see it.

2230
01:22:46,020 --> 01:22:47,620
It was just like he's listening to this

2231
01:22:47,620 --> 01:22:50,260
woman yak away and all of a sudden

2232
01:22:50,260 --> 01:22:53,100
it just dawns on him to throw this

2233
01:22:53,100 --> 01:22:53,340
out.

2234
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:54,360
We're eating the dogs.

2235
01:22:54,480 --> 01:22:55,460
They're eating the cats.

2236
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:57,000
They're eating the dogs.

2237
01:22:57,580 --> 01:22:58,620
Let me play this clip.

2238
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:02,960
This is labeled as walk back Trump's blurt.

2239
01:23:03,180 --> 01:23:05,440
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on

2240
01:23:05,440 --> 01:23:08,380
Wednesday walked back the Trump plan to permanently

2241
01:23:08,380 --> 01:23:12,780
relocate Palestinians from Gaza after American allies rebuffed

2242
01:23:12,780 --> 01:23:13,700
the suggestion.

2243
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,540
So now Rubio is one of the Trump

2244
01:23:16,540 --> 01:23:17,320
whisperers.

2245
01:23:17,480 --> 01:23:20,040
This is the new role that you have

2246
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:20,460
to play.

2247
01:23:20,820 --> 01:23:23,560
Trump on Tuesday in a meeting with Israeli

2248
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:26,820
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the U.S.

2249
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:28,740
could take ownership of Gaza.

2250
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:30,560
And the only thing that President Trump has

2251
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:32,540
done very generously in my view is offer

2252
01:23:32,540 --> 01:23:36,280
the United States willingness to step in clear

2253
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:38,820
the debris clean the place up from all

2254
01:23:38,820 --> 01:23:41,080
the destruction that's on the ground clean it

2255
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,420
up of all these unexploded munitions and in

2256
01:23:43,420 --> 01:23:45,920
the meantime the people living there will not

2257
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:47,320
be able the people who call that home

2258
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:48,640
will not be able to live there while

2259
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:51,040
you have crews coming in and removing debris

2260
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,760
while you have munitions being removed, etc.

2261
01:23:54,100 --> 01:23:55,460
That's the offer that he's made.

2262
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:56,620
Oh, okay.

2263
01:23:56,780 --> 01:23:58,700
See, Rubio goes in to clean it up.

2264
01:23:58,700 --> 01:24:01,100
Yeah, I think Rubio did a good job.

2265
01:24:01,540 --> 01:24:03,820
And I like to compare it to Mike

2266
01:24:03,820 --> 01:24:06,840
Johnson who is also doing it.

2267
01:24:06,940 --> 01:24:10,380
But this is Mike Johnson and I describe

2268
01:24:10,380 --> 01:24:12,280
this as Mike Johnson skating.

2269
01:24:12,820 --> 01:24:14,000
You know, he's doing some sort of a

2270
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:14,580
soft shoe.

2271
01:24:14,740 --> 01:24:15,300
He's dancing.

2272
01:24:15,980 --> 01:24:17,640
And it's like he doesn't know what to

2273
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:19,160
say because it's like oh, what am I

2274
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:19,500
going to do?

2275
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:20,400
I can't offend it.

2276
01:24:20,500 --> 01:24:22,420
You know, because everyone's scared to death they're

2277
01:24:22,420 --> 01:24:24,000
going to say something that Trump gets pissed

2278
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:24,340
about.

2279
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:26,560
So they're backing him.

2280
01:24:26,820 --> 01:24:28,980
Rubio doesn't seem to be as Rubio's, I

2281
01:24:28,980 --> 01:24:29,100
think.

2282
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:31,400
No, Rubio's got it figured out.

2283
01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:34,780
And so does Caroline Leavitt.

2284
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:35,260
Yeah.

2285
01:24:35,580 --> 01:24:37,400
Yes, yes, yes.

2286
01:24:37,440 --> 01:24:38,320
Because she said it right there.

2287
01:24:38,620 --> 01:24:41,360
You know, the president obviously means this.

2288
01:24:41,900 --> 01:24:42,260
Like, okay.

2289
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,040
And the other guy that the first person

2290
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,220
I noticed that could do this well was

2291
01:24:47,220 --> 01:24:48,280
J.D. Vance.

2292
01:24:48,620 --> 01:24:52,020
Yes, initially during the elections.

2293
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:57,220
Yeah, J.D. Vance could explain whatever Trump

2294
01:24:57,220 --> 01:24:59,040
did he could explain it and it was

2295
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:02,220
to the satisfaction of everybody including Trump.

2296
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,600
But Johnson Johnson hasn't quite got a clue

2297
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:05,840
yet.

2298
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:06,920
So he dances.

2299
01:25:07,260 --> 01:25:09,760
House Speaker Mike Johnson reacted to President Trump's

2300
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:11,420
plan for the Gaza Strip.

2301
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:13,600
Here's what Johnson said at the House Republicans

2302
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:15,460
leadership stakeout earlier today.

2303
01:25:15,900 --> 01:25:17,940
There'll be more details forthcoming on that, of

2304
01:25:17,940 --> 01:25:18,240
course.

2305
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,660
The initial announcement yesterday I think was greeted

2306
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,800
by surprise by many but cheered by, I

2307
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:26,360
think people all around the world.

2308
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:26,680
Why?

2309
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:28,700
Because that area is so dangerous.

2310
01:25:29,180 --> 01:25:31,520
He's taking bold, decisive action to try to

2311
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:32,900
ensure the peace of that region.

2312
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:35,520
It's a bold move, certainly.

2313
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,000
Far bolder than what's been done before.

2314
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,880
I think we've got to stand unequivocally in

2315
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:44,620
an unwavering manner as the whip said with

2316
01:25:44,620 --> 01:25:44,920
Israel.

2317
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:47,060
Our closest ally and friend in the Middle

2318
01:25:47,060 --> 01:25:47,320
East.

2319
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:49,800
I think if we could bring control of

2320
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,080
that situation and bring about a lasting peace

2321
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:53,820
there it would do well for everybody not

2322
01:25:53,820 --> 01:25:55,180
just in the region but around the world.

2323
01:25:55,180 --> 01:25:56,260
It's a volatile place.

2324
01:25:56,700 --> 01:25:58,800
And I think the strong and decisive move

2325
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:00,340
is an important step in that regard.

2326
01:26:00,820 --> 01:26:02,220
Johnson's got to get it together.

2327
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:04,080
We don't want waffling.

2328
01:26:04,220 --> 01:26:05,060
We don't want waffling.

2329
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:06,240
Here, listen.

2330
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:09,880
Now, they even call him the Trump whisperer

2331
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:13,380
in this report from Deutsche Welle as Rutte,

2332
01:26:13,420 --> 01:26:17,400
our boy from the Netherlands explains Greenland.

2333
01:26:17,500 --> 01:26:20,000
Because what did Trump say about Greenland?

2334
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:21,300
Yeah, we're going to buy it.

2335
01:26:21,340 --> 01:26:22,200
We're going to take it over.

2336
01:26:22,340 --> 01:26:24,860
We're just going to enter it and take

2337
01:26:24,860 --> 01:26:25,080
it.

2338
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:27,260
No, no, no, no, no.

2339
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:29,160
What I think what he is really trying

2340
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:31,100
to get at is that we have to

2341
01:26:31,100 --> 01:26:33,400
be watchful of what is happening in the

2342
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:33,660
Arctic.

2343
01:26:34,820 --> 01:26:39,000
And Russia is speedily working on getting its

2344
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:40,500
act together on the Arctic.

2345
01:26:40,780 --> 01:26:42,500
Take, for example, the issue of icebreakers.

2346
01:26:42,940 --> 01:26:44,960
We do not have enough icebreakers at this

2347
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:47,060
moment for example in the US or in

2348
01:26:47,060 --> 01:26:47,540
many...

2349
01:26:47,540 --> 01:26:49,040
Who's this we you're talking about?

2350
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:50,460
Other NATO allies.

2351
01:26:50,900 --> 01:26:54,120
This whole issue of the Arctic its geo

2352
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:57,680
-strategic importance but also, of course, the natural

2353
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:00,180
resources there and all the other geopolitical impact

2354
01:27:00,180 --> 01:27:01,960
it will have is what he is really

2355
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,340
putting on the table and putting high on

2356
01:27:04,340 --> 01:27:04,820
the agenda.

2357
01:27:05,180 --> 01:27:07,340
But military action sounds like a war between

2358
01:27:07,340 --> 01:27:07,680
NATO allies.

2359
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:09,460
He hasn't said that he will invade Greenland.

2360
01:27:09,540 --> 01:27:10,940
No, no, he did not say that.

2361
01:27:11,140 --> 01:27:13,740
But what he really said is that the

2362
01:27:13,740 --> 01:27:16,980
Arctic is of geopolitical and strategic importance.

2363
01:27:17,580 --> 01:27:19,460
But Rutte, they don't call him the Trump

2364
01:27:19,460 --> 01:27:20,400
whisperer for nothing.

2365
01:27:20,480 --> 01:27:21,860
He didn't say he wasn't going to.

2366
01:27:21,860 --> 01:27:24,120
Invade Greenland but he didn't rule it out

2367
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:24,500
either.

2368
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,160
And then let's go back to Rubio who

2369
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:31,020
did a beautiful blurt cleanup on the Panama

2370
01:27:31,020 --> 01:27:31,400
Canal.

2371
01:27:31,820 --> 01:27:34,480
You've just come from Panama and you said

2372
01:27:34,480 --> 01:27:36,000
that your meetings in Panama went well.

2373
01:27:36,580 --> 01:27:38,580
After them, President Trump said that we're going

2374
01:27:38,580 --> 01:27:41,400
to take the canal back or something very

2375
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:43,240
powerful is going to happen.

2376
01:27:43,540 --> 01:27:44,860
What's going to happen?

2377
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:45,680
That was the blurt.

2378
01:27:45,860 --> 01:27:48,120
Or something very powerful is going to happen.

2379
01:27:48,500 --> 01:27:50,220
I hope nothing's going to happen and it

2380
01:27:50,220 --> 01:27:52,400
shouldn't because look, the President's point is we

2381
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:54,020
gave the canal in a treaty to Panama.

2382
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:55,360
We didn't give it to China.

2383
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:57,300
You come back 20 years later and you

2384
01:27:57,300 --> 01:27:58,880
go to the canal and on the entry

2385
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,420
points of both sides of the canal is

2386
01:28:01,420 --> 01:28:02,760
a Chinese linked company.

2387
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:04,280
In fact, when I was visiting there yesterday,

2388
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:06,580
the ship behind me just over my shoulder

2389
01:28:06,580 --> 01:28:08,040
was a Hong Kong shipping vessel.

2390
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,680
And so their presence not just in the

2391
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:13,600
canal but in Panama writ large is very

2392
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:14,040
disturbing.

2393
01:28:14,420 --> 01:28:16,860
So ridding the presence, their presence could solve

2394
01:28:16,860 --> 01:28:17,520
this whole problem?

2395
01:28:17,820 --> 01:28:19,320
Well, we didn't give the canal to China.

2396
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:21,260
I mean, it's a violation of the treaty.

2397
01:28:21,380 --> 01:28:24,100
What I told President Malino yesterday was that

2398
01:28:24,100 --> 01:28:29,060
President Trump made a preliminary determination that there's

2399
01:28:29,060 --> 01:28:30,020
a violation of the treaty.

2400
01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,420
You're in violation of the treaty because a

2401
01:28:32,420 --> 01:28:35,740
sovereign other country, a third country, has effective

2402
01:28:35,740 --> 01:28:37,200
control over the canal area.

2403
01:28:37,620 --> 01:28:42,580
And absent serious measures, we're going to have

2404
01:28:42,580 --> 01:28:44,020
to preserve our rights under the treaty.

2405
01:28:44,500 --> 01:28:46,260
Now, obviously, there are a lot of options

2406
01:28:46,260 --> 01:28:46,920
in that regard.

2407
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:49,180
I think people speculate things but I don't

2408
01:28:49,180 --> 01:28:50,440
think we'll ever get to that point and

2409
01:28:50,440 --> 01:28:51,420
shouldn't get to that point.

2410
01:28:51,620 --> 01:28:52,400
So it's perfect.

2411
01:28:52,660 --> 01:28:55,220
He is a Trump whisperer and the solutions

2412
01:28:55,220 --> 01:28:56,740
are already taking place.

2413
01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:58,160
So we had a very frank conversation.

2414
01:28:58,160 --> 01:28:59,680
Since then, they've taken some steps.

2415
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:00,780
They announced that they're going to get out

2416
01:29:00,780 --> 01:29:01,820
of the Bolton Road Initiative.

2417
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:03,200
We'd like to see more.

2418
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:04,460
We hope to see more in the days

2419
01:29:04,460 --> 01:29:04,880
to come.

2420
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:06,860
You know, the government doesn't control the canal.

2421
01:29:06,980 --> 01:29:09,620
It's run by an independent agency, the Canal

2422
01:29:09,620 --> 01:29:09,920
Zone.

2423
01:29:10,340 --> 01:29:12,200
So they have to go through some legal

2424
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:13,480
steps that they have to carry out.

2425
01:29:13,660 --> 01:29:14,960
Yeah, we've got to go through some steps.

2426
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:16,000
Oh, it's working.

2427
01:29:16,140 --> 01:29:16,560
It's working.

2428
01:29:17,140 --> 01:29:18,120
It's working great.

2429
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:19,680
They got out of the Belton Road thing.

2430
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:20,040
Yes.

2431
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:21,120
That was the kicker.

2432
01:29:21,220 --> 01:29:22,340
That was the main point.

2433
01:29:22,980 --> 01:29:25,340
And I'm totally convinced that, you know, people

2434
01:29:25,340 --> 01:29:27,360
are bitching and moaning about, you know, for

2435
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:30,820
example, Rubio bailed from the G20, upcoming G20

2436
01:29:30,820 --> 01:29:32,900
meeting that was just recently announced.

2437
01:29:33,700 --> 01:29:35,400
Because they don't, he doesn't like the way

2438
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:37,720
South Africa's acting.

2439
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:38,240
Right.

2440
01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:40,260
Which, of course, that's easy enough.

2441
01:29:40,500 --> 01:29:40,660
Yeah.

2442
01:29:40,740 --> 01:29:43,300
But I still believe that we've decided on

2443
01:29:43,300 --> 01:29:46,740
a North-South policy because we can do

2444
01:29:46,740 --> 01:29:48,420
what we think we can do in Africa.

2445
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:50,140
And we think what we can do here

2446
01:29:50,140 --> 01:29:50,520
and there.

2447
01:29:50,660 --> 01:29:52,860
And we have our influence in Europe and

2448
01:29:52,860 --> 01:29:53,900
England is what it is.

2449
01:29:53,900 --> 01:29:55,080
Yeah, we've got to do South America.

2450
01:29:55,460 --> 01:29:56,900
We've got to do South America because the

2451
01:29:56,900 --> 01:29:58,920
Chinese are moving into South America.

2452
01:29:58,980 --> 01:30:00,140
And this is in our hemisphere.

2453
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:01,360
We're not putting up with it.

2454
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:03,620
And Rubio speaks Spanish.

2455
01:30:04,300 --> 01:30:05,940
I got a, I got another blurt.

2456
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:09,040
Here's another blurt, which is a boomer blurt.

2457
01:30:09,300 --> 01:30:10,360
This is a boomer blurt.

2458
01:30:10,820 --> 01:30:11,460
I caught it.

2459
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:12,420
Let's see if you catch it.

2460
01:30:12,580 --> 01:30:16,700
We're telling Ukraine they have very valuable rare

2461
01:30:16,700 --> 01:30:17,120
earth.

2462
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:20,720
We want what we put up to go

2463
01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:21,840
in terms of a guarantee.

2464
01:30:22,100 --> 01:30:22,820
We want a guarantee.

2465
01:30:23,260 --> 01:30:25,940
We want, we're handing them money, hand over

2466
01:30:25,940 --> 01:30:26,300
fist.

2467
01:30:26,440 --> 01:30:27,360
We're giving them equipment.

2468
01:30:27,940 --> 01:30:29,800
European is not keeping up with us.

2469
01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:30,840
They should equalize.

2470
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:32,900
And look, we have an ocean in between.

2471
01:30:33,420 --> 01:30:34,280
They don't.

2472
01:30:34,380 --> 01:30:35,940
It's more important for them than it is

2473
01:30:35,940 --> 01:30:36,460
for us.

2474
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:38,700
But they're way below us in terms of

2475
01:30:38,700 --> 01:30:38,980
money.

2476
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:43,280
And they should be paying at least equal.

2477
01:30:43,380 --> 01:30:44,880
They should really be paying much more than

2478
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:45,080
us.

2479
01:30:45,140 --> 01:30:46,560
But let's say equal to us.

2480
01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:50,400
And they're billions and billions of dollars below.

2481
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:52,760
So we're looking to do a deal with

2482
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,520
Ukraine where they're going to secure what we're

2483
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,320
giving them with their rare earth and other

2484
01:30:58,320 --> 01:30:58,840
things.

2485
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:00,800
So I kept hearing rare earth.

2486
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:02,800
And I'm like, I can't help but go

2487
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:04,020
back to 1973.

2488
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:06,440
Yeah, baby.

2489
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:07,980
Look out, baby.

2490
01:31:08,380 --> 01:31:09,740
Because here I come.

2491
01:31:11,060 --> 01:31:13,480
Is Trump thinking rare earth minerals, but he's

2492
01:31:13,480 --> 01:31:15,220
confusing it with the band Rare Earth?

2493
01:31:16,820 --> 01:31:18,760
I don't think so.

2494
01:31:19,740 --> 01:31:22,380
But when it comes to Europe, Europe is

2495
01:31:22,380 --> 01:31:24,940
rolling the dice and they're doing some very,

2496
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,000
I think they're making very dangerous moves because

2497
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,260
all the 27 member states got together and

2498
01:31:31,260 --> 01:31:33,280
said, yeah, we don't need America.

2499
01:31:33,500 --> 01:31:36,320
We don't we don't need Trump's military protection.

2500
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:39,460
The European Union is aiming to strengthen its

2501
01:31:39,460 --> 01:31:43,680
defense capabilities, requiring an estimated investment of around

2502
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:46,840
500 billion euros over the next decade.

2503
01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:49,840
That's 50 billion a year.

2504
01:31:50,180 --> 01:31:53,580
We do 800, we do 800, 900 billion

2505
01:31:53,580 --> 01:31:54,020
a year.

2506
01:31:54,220 --> 01:31:57,140
Spending has grown by 30 percent since 2021.

2507
01:31:57,660 --> 01:32:00,280
But in the current geopolitical climate, the bloc

2508
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:01,700
believes this is not enough.

2509
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:04,780
On Monday, the EU 27 met to explore

2510
01:32:04,780 --> 01:32:07,780
new ideas with the aim of incorporating some

2511
01:32:07,780 --> 01:32:10,060
into a future European Commission document.

2512
01:32:10,500 --> 01:32:13,400
When you ask what the leaders want in

2513
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:17,620
the white paper, certainly white paper for these

2514
01:32:17,620 --> 01:32:21,580
three levels, how to create fiscal space, fiscal

2515
01:32:21,580 --> 01:32:25,680
space, how to create common funds to common

2516
01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:26,440
projects.

2517
01:32:27,060 --> 01:32:31,980
And finally, how to mobilize private financing to

2518
01:32:31,980 --> 01:32:36,780
strengthen our defense industry, creating more fiscal space

2519
01:32:36,780 --> 01:32:39,600
or, in other words, relaxing the economic rules

2520
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:41,740
that force countries not to take on too

2521
01:32:41,740 --> 01:32:43,900
much debt is one of the main ideas

2522
01:32:43,900 --> 01:32:44,580
on the table.

2523
01:32:44,940 --> 01:32:46,780
The key to this lies with the European

2524
01:32:46,780 --> 01:32:49,700
Commission, which could allow countries to spend more

2525
01:32:49,700 --> 01:32:50,420
on defense.

2526
01:32:50,620 --> 01:32:51,540
Come on, Queen Ursula.

2527
01:32:51,780 --> 01:32:55,100
For extraordinary times, it is possible to have

2528
01:32:55,100 --> 01:32:58,000
extraordinary measures, also in the Stability and Growth

2529
01:32:58,000 --> 01:32:58,200
Pact.

2530
01:32:58,300 --> 01:33:00,320
And I think we live in extraordinary times.

2531
01:33:00,480 --> 01:33:03,600
So we will look as a commission deeper

2532
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:05,900
into using much more flexibilities.

2533
01:33:06,100 --> 01:33:08,640
They are optional, possible with the Stability and

2534
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:13,840
Growth Pact for defense investment and defense expenditures.

2535
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:16,480
At a time when relying on allies is

2536
01:33:16,480 --> 01:33:19,660
crucial, the EU 27 gathered at a summit

2537
01:33:19,660 --> 01:33:23,480
alongside their partners, including UK Prime Minister Kia

2538
01:33:23,480 --> 01:33:26,620
Starmer and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

2539
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:28,340
Rutte is there to say, you guys are

2540
01:33:28,340 --> 01:33:28,820
crazy.

2541
01:33:29,340 --> 01:33:29,920
You're crazy.

2542
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:30,680
What are you doing?

2543
01:33:30,860 --> 01:33:31,840
You can't do this.

2544
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:35,760
You know, the next tariff is going to

2545
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:37,140
be on the EU, and it's going to

2546
01:33:37,140 --> 01:33:37,600
be ugly.

2547
01:33:38,460 --> 01:33:40,240
Because they don't make anything anymore.

2548
01:33:40,480 --> 01:33:42,220
Some German car is fine.

2549
01:33:42,340 --> 01:33:42,620
Whatever.

2550
01:33:43,540 --> 01:33:44,680
What else do they make?

2551
01:33:46,440 --> 01:33:48,100
Machine tools for one.

2552
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:53,320
They do a lot of precision things.

2553
01:33:53,860 --> 01:33:54,400
Electronics.

2554
01:33:55,980 --> 01:33:57,280
Siemens is a big company.

2555
01:33:58,820 --> 01:34:00,660
Anyway, the world is in turmoil.

2556
01:34:00,900 --> 01:34:03,660
I'm actually kind of enjoying our last four

2557
01:34:03,660 --> 01:34:04,000
years.

2558
01:34:04,140 --> 01:34:04,940
This is kind of fun.

2559
01:34:06,540 --> 01:34:09,020
It's going to be a good four years.

2560
01:34:09,020 --> 01:34:09,880
The way you said it there sounds like

2561
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:11,360
the world is going to blow up in

2562
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:11,860
four years.

2563
01:34:13,980 --> 01:34:15,860
When we're gone, it might as well.

2564
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:17,120
What are people going to do?

2565
01:34:19,700 --> 01:34:20,600
Oh, man.

2566
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:21,880
Where do you want to go?

2567
01:34:22,500 --> 01:34:24,600
We should probably do one.

2568
01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:27,520
Maybe just a quick...

2569
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:29,720
Let me get this out of the way,

2570
01:34:29,740 --> 01:34:31,380
since it was part of the earlier presentation

2571
01:34:31,380 --> 01:34:32,880
about the battle at the Treasury Department.

2572
01:34:32,980 --> 01:34:34,320
This is about the lockout.

2573
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:36,380
Yes, the lockout.

2574
01:34:36,420 --> 01:34:37,560
Congress wanted to go in.

2575
01:34:37,980 --> 01:34:41,440
The Muscovites.

2576
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:43,080
The Muscovites.

2577
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:43,920
Another good one.

2578
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:45,080
I like it.

2579
01:34:45,340 --> 01:34:51,760
The Muscovites, the kids, the children, those kids,

2580
01:34:52,340 --> 01:34:56,620
they got into the Treasury Department computers because

2581
01:34:56,620 --> 01:34:57,900
they're computer guys.

2582
01:34:58,220 --> 01:35:00,920
And they started finding all these...

2583
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:04,600
This was because USAID overshadowed this, but they

2584
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:07,240
found that the Treasury Department is handing out

2585
01:35:07,240 --> 01:35:10,180
checks to dead people, handing out checks to

2586
01:35:10,180 --> 01:35:12,840
companies that folded in 98.

2587
01:35:13,220 --> 01:35:14,720
These checks are going out.

2588
01:35:15,700 --> 01:35:17,340
And so everyone's all bent out of shape

2589
01:35:17,340 --> 01:35:18,560
about them getting in there.

2590
01:35:18,740 --> 01:35:20,880
They made a big stink about it.

2591
01:35:21,140 --> 01:35:22,860
Congress wanted to go in, but the Secret

2592
01:35:22,860 --> 01:35:23,660
Service kept them out.

2593
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:24,680
This is battery...

2594
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:25,420
Battle.

2595
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:25,820
Batter.

2596
01:35:26,140 --> 01:35:26,440
Batter.

2597
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:27,080
Battery.

2598
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:30,460
Battle at Treasury Department Lockout.

2599
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:33,280
The Secret Service rebuffed a group of congressional

2600
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:35,400
Democrats who tried to gain entry to the

2601
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:36,560
Treasury building yesterday.

2602
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:38,840
They said that they wanted to provide oversight

2603
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:41,720
after the Department of Government Efficiency gained access

2604
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:43,840
to the Treasury's federal payment system.

2605
01:35:44,300 --> 01:35:46,040
It is time for us to shine.

2606
01:35:46,340 --> 01:35:48,220
It is time for us to be heard.

2607
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:50,460
It is time for us to make sure

2608
01:35:50,460 --> 01:35:54,940
that they know we will not go.

2609
01:35:54,940 --> 01:35:57,800
Oh, you want to use our money to

2610
01:35:57,800 --> 01:35:58,580
go to Mars?

2611
01:35:58,840 --> 01:35:59,280
No.

2612
01:35:59,680 --> 01:36:02,080
We want to use our money right here

2613
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:04,940
in Washington, D.C. We have to fight

2614
01:36:04,940 --> 01:36:05,780
this in the Congress.

2615
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:07,640
We have to fight this in the streets.

2616
01:36:07,860 --> 01:36:11,440
Elon Musk is here to collect on his

2617
01:36:11,440 --> 01:36:12,140
investment.

2618
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:17,920
He is here to seize power for himself.

2619
01:36:18,420 --> 01:36:22,160
We are here to fight back.

2620
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:25,540
And everyone went home.

2621
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,060
Yeah, we're all angry, but well, as long

2622
01:36:29,060 --> 01:36:30,540
as I get my check on the 18th

2623
01:36:30,540 --> 01:36:31,420
of the month, I'm okay.

2624
01:36:31,600 --> 01:36:32,520
Then Elon can do it.

2625
01:36:32,740 --> 01:36:35,420
There is a legitimate concern here in general,

2626
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:39,520
which I don't want to pass over, and

2627
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:44,700
that is the technocracy, the tech bros coming

2628
01:36:44,700 --> 01:36:47,040
in and replacing things with systems.

2629
01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:48,800
You know, I think there's No, I'm not

2630
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:50,000
going to argue with you at all.

2631
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,260
Yeah, a legitimate concern that we don't want

2632
01:36:52,260 --> 01:36:54,580
Palantir running too many things.

2633
01:36:54,760 --> 01:36:56,660
In the end, there's a privacy issue at

2634
01:36:56,660 --> 01:36:57,240
play.

2635
01:36:57,240 --> 01:36:58,840
Well, I mean, I think it's kind of

2636
01:36:58,840 --> 01:36:59,360
laughable.

2637
01:36:59,700 --> 01:37:02,520
Elon Musk has your social security number.

2638
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:04,740
Elon Musk has a lot more about you

2639
01:37:04,740 --> 01:37:05,020
than yours.

2640
01:37:05,100 --> 01:37:06,780
And you willingly give it to him.

2641
01:37:06,840 --> 01:37:08,320
You willingly give it to Facebook.

2642
01:37:08,440 --> 01:37:11,660
Anyone who's on Facebook has no reason to

2643
01:37:11,660 --> 01:37:12,600
complain about anything.

2644
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:13,080
Exactly.

2645
01:37:13,940 --> 01:37:15,400
And I'm not, by the way.

2646
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:17,760
Battle at Treasury Department 2.

2647
01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:20,540
The lawmakers argue that the Doge run by

2648
01:37:20,540 --> 01:37:23,560
Elon Musk has what they call dangerous access

2649
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:25,200
to federal payment systems.

2650
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:28,800
Treasury officials insist the access is read only.

2651
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:31,480
Democrats at the protest called the Doge a

2652
01:37:31,480 --> 01:37:33,920
power grab and pledged legal action.

2653
01:37:34,140 --> 01:37:35,400
I love the read access.

2654
01:37:36,660 --> 01:37:39,040
They can always read access only.

2655
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:42,260
And I think the interesting thing on that

2656
01:37:42,260 --> 01:37:45,440
little clip there was that they're promising legal

2657
01:37:45,440 --> 01:37:45,860
action.

2658
01:37:45,860 --> 01:37:49,560
These guys are moving so at breakneck speed

2659
01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:51,900
from agency, from here to there, to here

2660
01:37:51,900 --> 01:37:52,200
to there.

2661
01:37:52,780 --> 01:37:55,880
The legal system, this shows you the flaw

2662
01:37:55,880 --> 01:37:56,720
in the system.

2663
01:37:57,280 --> 01:37:59,700
They can't by the time they got an

2664
01:37:59,700 --> 01:38:02,620
order, they're already off at someplace else.

2665
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:06,320
Trump has gone nuts when it comes to

2666
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:06,820
speed.

2667
01:38:07,820 --> 01:38:10,740
I don't know what your AOC on Musk

2668
01:38:10,740 --> 01:38:12,560
clip is, but I'm sure it's laughable.

2669
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:13,240
Can we play it?

2670
01:38:13,260 --> 01:38:14,440
Well, this is the classic.

2671
01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:16,140
Yeah, well, there's two things about Musk.

2672
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:18,160
We're going to play that clip yet, but

2673
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:21,140
play the prelude, which is play the anti

2674
01:38:21,140 --> 01:38:22,680
-Musk bill proposed.

2675
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:26,060
Meanwhile, on the side of the Democrats, lawmakers

2676
01:38:26,060 --> 01:38:29,300
want to prevent special government employees from accessing

2677
01:38:29,300 --> 01:38:30,440
government information.

2678
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:33,180
This is mostly to stop Elon Musk's Department

2679
01:38:33,180 --> 01:38:36,400
of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, from accessing any

2680
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:38,340
sensitive data on U.S. individuals.

2681
01:38:38,980 --> 01:38:42,280
Top Democrats say Musk is rapidly consolidating control

2682
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:45,500
over large swaths of the federal government, with

2683
01:38:45,500 --> 01:38:46,480
Trump's blessing.

2684
01:38:46,940 --> 01:38:50,040
They're arguing that Musk is sidelining career officials,

2685
01:38:50,420 --> 01:38:52,820
gaining access to sensitive data, and more.

2686
01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:55,600
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer laid out the

2687
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:56,280
goals of the bill.

2688
01:38:56,820 --> 01:38:59,760
Our bill aims to do a few simple

2689
01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:00,260
things.

2690
01:39:00,660 --> 01:39:05,420
One, to deny access to special government employees,

2691
01:39:05,860 --> 01:39:08,780
employees that don't have to disclose their conflicts

2692
01:39:08,780 --> 01:39:10,880
of interest or any other ethic agreements.

2693
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:14,340
Two, to deny access to anyone with conflicts

2694
01:39:14,340 --> 01:39:16,900
of interest or lack of appropriate clearance.

2695
01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:21,260
And three, include personal tax information into existing

2696
01:39:21,260 --> 01:39:22,300
privacy protections.

2697
01:39:22,580 --> 01:39:25,740
We call our legislation Stop the Steal.

2698
01:39:26,260 --> 01:39:27,260
Stop the Steal.

2699
01:39:27,900 --> 01:39:29,500
Whoa, so smart.

2700
01:39:29,700 --> 01:39:30,620
So smart.

2701
01:39:30,740 --> 01:39:31,580
I love that.

2702
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:32,980
What an idiot.

2703
01:39:33,100 --> 01:39:35,860
The Secret Service is, in fact, technically responsible

2704
01:39:35,860 --> 01:39:38,020
for the security of the U.S. dollar,

2705
01:39:38,260 --> 01:39:38,620
I believe.

2706
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:39,900
Yeah.

2707
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:41,400
That's their responsibility.

2708
01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:43,340
It's not just to protect people, but also

2709
01:39:43,340 --> 01:39:44,380
to protect the money.

2710
01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:45,840
So, makes sense.

2711
01:39:45,980 --> 01:39:47,160
All right, now the AOC clip.

2712
01:39:47,420 --> 01:39:49,960
I don't want to spike the ball on

2713
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:53,040
this, but this is an example of...

2714
01:39:53,460 --> 01:39:54,860
because you did it last, so I get

2715
01:39:54,860 --> 01:39:55,400
to do it now.

2716
01:39:56,100 --> 01:39:57,860
This is an example of taking a crappy

2717
01:39:57,860 --> 01:39:58,280
clip.

2718
01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:02,060
She's doing all these TikTok clips, and they're

2719
01:40:02,060 --> 01:40:03,220
terribly miked.

2720
01:40:03,480 --> 01:40:06,220
So, when you run it through Adobe, this

2721
01:40:06,220 --> 01:40:08,220
is what Adobe's good for, taking the echo

2722
01:40:08,220 --> 01:40:08,440
out.

2723
01:40:08,580 --> 01:40:10,460
So, this is the best anyone will ever

2724
01:40:10,460 --> 01:40:10,640
hear.

2725
01:40:10,740 --> 01:40:12,500
This clip's been going around, but this is

2726
01:40:12,500 --> 01:40:14,080
the best quality you're going to ever hear

2727
01:40:14,080 --> 01:40:14,340
of it.

2728
01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:14,840
Here we go.

2729
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:18,500
This dude is probably one of the most

2730
01:40:18,500 --> 01:40:21,900
unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen

2731
01:40:21,900 --> 01:40:23,240
or witnessed.

2732
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:25,920
Hold on a second.

2733
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:26,640
Stop the clip.

2734
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:27,160
Stop the clip.

2735
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:29,800
She says this dude is one of the

2736
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:31,960
dumbest billionaires I've ever met.

2737
01:40:32,020 --> 01:40:33,740
Then she changes it and listen to it.

2738
01:40:33,780 --> 01:40:34,260
Start it over.

2739
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:36,700
Because I don't think she's ever met him.

2740
01:40:37,740 --> 01:40:38,340
No, you're right.

2741
01:40:38,380 --> 01:40:41,180
So, she changes gears and says, I mean,

2742
01:40:41,260 --> 01:40:42,400
I've ever seen...

2743
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:43,580
You can see it for yourself.

2744
01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:44,800
Listen carefully.

2745
01:40:45,480 --> 01:40:48,920
This dude is probably one of the most

2746
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:52,340
unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen

2747
01:40:52,340 --> 01:40:53,700
or witnessed.

2748
01:40:56,460 --> 01:40:59,060
Which, you know, you can probably even glean

2749
01:40:59,060 --> 01:41:00,500
that from watching these people on TV.

2750
01:41:01,300 --> 01:41:04,320
Anyways, all of that is to say is

2751
01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:05,980
that they don't do their homework.

2752
01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:10,320
Clearly, they're putting 19-year-olds in at

2753
01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:10,740
the treasury.

2754
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:12,360
This dude is not smart.

2755
01:41:12,820 --> 01:41:14,700
How old was she when they put her

2756
01:41:14,700 --> 01:41:16,600
when she did her audition?

2757
01:41:17,620 --> 01:41:19,500
I'm a little tired of the, these are

2758
01:41:19,500 --> 01:41:20,560
19-year-olds.

2759
01:41:20,780 --> 01:41:24,140
19-year-olds are given an M1 and

2760
01:41:24,140 --> 01:41:27,360
you can go receive lead in desert places

2761
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:28,320
where you've sent them.

2762
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:31,020
Now, a 19-year-old is no good?

2763
01:41:31,100 --> 01:41:31,900
I'm a little sick of that.

2764
01:41:32,740 --> 01:41:38,020
And the danger in the lack of intelligence

2765
01:41:38,020 --> 01:41:42,660
and the lack of expertise that Elon has.

2766
01:41:42,780 --> 01:41:44,240
I mean, this guy is one of the

2767
01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:53,540
most morally vacant but also just least knowledgeable

2768
01:41:53,540 --> 01:41:57,140
about these systems that we really know of.

2769
01:41:57,940 --> 01:42:01,980
But the point is that what that means

2770
01:42:01,980 --> 01:42:04,040
is that they're going to hit a button.

2771
01:42:04,480 --> 01:42:04,880
A button?

2772
01:42:05,900 --> 01:42:06,380
Inevitably.

2773
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:08,880
They are going to hit a button and

2774
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:09,960
things can go sideways.

2775
01:42:10,220 --> 01:42:11,240
They're going to hit a button?

2776
01:42:11,460 --> 01:42:12,100
A button?

2777
01:42:12,820 --> 01:42:15,180
You know, just back to your north-south

2778
01:42:15,180 --> 01:42:16,900
strategy, I think you're spot on.

2779
01:42:16,980 --> 01:42:18,560
And I think Venezuela is going to be

2780
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:19,000
in play.

2781
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:21,180
I got a note from the oil baron.

2782
01:42:22,480 --> 01:42:27,880
Now, apparently, the guy advising our president on

2783
01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:32,380
drill baby drill is Keith Kellogg, who is

2784
01:42:32,380 --> 01:42:34,840
now the special envoy to Ukraine and Russia.

2785
01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:41,660
And he came out in oil circles and

2786
01:42:41,660 --> 01:42:46,020
said, global producers should try slashing oil prices

2787
01:42:46,020 --> 01:42:50,800
to $45 a barrel to pressure Russia into

2788
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:52,280
ending the war with Ukraine.

2789
01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:55,880
There is no way you can't go to

2790
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:57,480
$45 a barrel.

2791
01:42:58,300 --> 01:43:00,140
Saudi Arabia, I don't think, can even go

2792
01:43:00,140 --> 01:43:01,700
to $45 a barrel.

2793
01:43:02,500 --> 01:43:03,940
And now other advisers...

2794
01:43:03,940 --> 01:43:04,500
That's not true.

2795
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:09,160
Well, I mean, of course, anybody can go

2796
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:10,440
to $45 a barrel.

2797
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:13,800
We talked about this in the show a

2798
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:14,560
decade ago.

2799
01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:18,320
Saudi Arabia supposedly can make money at $20.

2800
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:20,300
Right, but that was a decade ago.

2801
01:43:20,300 --> 01:43:23,480
I mean, the dollar has changed in value.

2802
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:25,660
So, I think it's tight.

2803
01:43:25,740 --> 01:43:26,660
Let me put it that way.

2804
01:43:26,940 --> 01:43:27,760
I think it's tight.

2805
01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:28,880
But it's doable.

2806
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:33,740
Well, according to the oil baron, Saudi Arabia

2807
01:43:33,740 --> 01:43:36,420
would struggle to generate enough revenue to pay

2808
01:43:36,420 --> 01:43:39,300
for social services, monthly payments to citizens, and

2809
01:43:39,300 --> 01:43:40,720
big infrastructure projects.

2810
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:43,800
It will need about $90 a barrel this

2811
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:47,100
year to balance its budget, according to the

2812
01:43:47,100 --> 01:43:48,220
oil baron and his sources.

2813
01:43:49,740 --> 01:43:53,980
Now, the companies have said, the West Texas

2814
01:43:53,980 --> 01:43:55,040
oil producer...

2815
01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:56,000
But what are they doing about the fact

2816
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:58,000
that it's floating around $65-70?

2817
01:43:58,500 --> 01:43:59,380
Well, they like it there.

2818
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:01,200
But...

2819
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:01,860
They like it there.

2820
01:44:01,860 --> 01:44:03,640
I thought they needed $90 to get by.

2821
01:44:04,060 --> 01:44:05,240
I'm just telling you.

2822
01:44:05,380 --> 01:44:06,800
I'm not making this up.

2823
01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:09,440
I'm not pulling it from USA Today.

2824
01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:10,540
Okay, well, keep talking.

2825
01:44:10,780 --> 01:44:13,140
Don't pay attention to the man behind the

2826
01:44:13,140 --> 01:44:13,300
curtain.

2827
01:44:13,700 --> 01:44:16,460
Companies are no longer pursuing growth at all

2828
01:44:16,460 --> 01:44:22,440
costs, is what the West Texas oil consortium

2829
01:44:22,440 --> 01:44:22,920
is saying.

2830
01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:26,500
Longer term, advisors are saying Trump's support of

2831
01:44:26,500 --> 01:44:29,840
US oil and gas, including scrapping environmental regulations,

2832
01:44:30,100 --> 01:44:32,560
will make the sector more appealing to investors,

2833
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:33,960
but it's going to take a little bit

2834
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:35,860
of time and they need to find some

2835
01:44:35,860 --> 01:44:37,240
other sources in the meantime.

2836
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:41,260
And I'm thinking we need to get some

2837
01:44:41,260 --> 01:44:42,320
of that from South America.

2838
01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:45,460
That was not in the briefing I got,

2839
01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:48,220
but there's no drill baby drill at this

2840
01:44:48,220 --> 01:44:48,900
point in time.

2841
01:44:49,140 --> 01:44:50,540
So he's going to have to figure out

2842
01:44:50,540 --> 01:44:55,580
some other way to lower energy costs.

2843
01:44:58,940 --> 01:45:01,120
Well, it wouldn't be beyond the realm of

2844
01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:05,160
possibility to do a deal with Maduro, who

2845
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:08,640
seems to have a pretty good handle on

2846
01:45:08,640 --> 01:45:10,800
his power base.

2847
01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:12,940
Yeah, I think so.

2848
01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:21,100
You know, and they have a huge their

2849
01:45:21,100 --> 01:45:25,840
reserves off the coast of Venezuela is one

2850
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:26,860
of the biggest in the world.

2851
01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:27,740
They got the goods.

2852
01:45:28,540 --> 01:45:29,640
They got the goods.

2853
01:45:30,040 --> 01:45:34,420
The Doge concept and cleaning up, and this

2854
01:45:34,420 --> 01:45:36,380
will actually take us into thanking some people,

2855
01:45:36,400 --> 01:45:38,080
because I've gotten a lot of notes on

2856
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:42,840
why we're no longer hearing from the UK

2857
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:45,040
and Australian donors.

2858
01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:46,200
We got a lot of notes.

2859
01:45:46,540 --> 01:45:47,520
Yeah, I got quite a few.

2860
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:49,760
I mean, on Australia, the main one I

2861
01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:51,980
get is, A, we're afraid to donate to

2862
01:45:51,980 --> 01:45:55,060
end to your podcast because we'd go to

2863
01:45:55,060 --> 01:45:55,400
jail.

2864
01:45:56,700 --> 01:45:58,120
I heard that from the UK.

2865
01:45:59,100 --> 01:46:01,440
And too broke is another one.

2866
01:46:01,820 --> 01:46:03,580
They don't need to be on a list.

2867
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:04,920
They don't want to be on a list.

2868
01:46:05,100 --> 01:46:06,640
And I like the one from the UK.

2869
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:09,240
It's like, people are leaving the UK.

2870
01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:11,680
Anyone with the means and ability to get

2871
01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:12,820
out is getting out.

2872
01:46:13,480 --> 01:46:14,820
And a lot of them are going to

2873
01:46:14,820 --> 01:46:15,300
Dubai.

2874
01:46:15,580 --> 01:46:18,560
People try to go to Portugal, but Spain

2875
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:22,300
and Portugal, they're starting to impose huge extra

2876
01:46:22,300 --> 01:46:25,600
taxes on buying a home there if you

2877
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:28,700
have non-EU residents, which the UK is.

2878
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:35,600
But in Australia, Australia, here's Senator Malcolm Roberts

2879
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:38,440
who's like, hey, this is a good plan.

2880
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:40,740
And his team have made a huge start

2881
01:46:40,740 --> 01:46:42,940
on putting the cleaners through US government waste,

2882
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:46,280
some of which appears criminal and seditious in

2883
01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:46,620
nature.

2884
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:49,900
President Trump has withdrawn the USA from the

2885
01:46:49,900 --> 01:46:52,660
World Health Organisation, the World Economic Forum, and

2886
01:46:52,660 --> 01:46:54,420
climate change, tyranny and fraud.

2887
01:46:55,020 --> 01:46:57,480
Moves One Nation has advocated for 20 years.

2888
01:46:58,280 --> 01:47:02,220
Executive orders have destroyed WOKE, DEI and transgender

2889
01:47:02,220 --> 01:47:05,920
ideology, while reaffirming support for gay, lesbian and

2890
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:06,800
bisexual Americans.

2891
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:08,620
Again, One Nation policy.

2892
01:47:09,480 --> 01:47:11,600
President Trump is not a threat to democracy

2893
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:13,220
here or in the United States.

2894
01:47:13,540 --> 01:47:15,760
He is a threat to the Greens, who

2895
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:17,960
are watching the pushback to their neo-Marxist

2896
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:19,000
identity politics.

2897
01:47:20,020 --> 01:47:23,280
Their toxic ideology is rightly being dispatched to

2898
01:47:23,280 --> 01:47:24,620
the history's sewers.

2899
01:47:25,420 --> 01:47:27,740
President Trump did not start the pushback against

2900
01:47:27,740 --> 01:47:28,500
WOKE ideology.

2901
01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:29,860
Australia did.

2902
01:47:30,660 --> 01:47:33,700
When everyday Australians rejected the voice proposal.

2903
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:38,060
And as Irish did when they rejected the

2904
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:41,380
fragmentation of their families in a referendum there.

2905
01:47:42,820 --> 01:47:45,720
President Donald Trump's actions are in accord with

2906
01:47:45,720 --> 01:47:46,720
One Nation policies.

2907
01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:50,440
And of that we're very, very proud.

2908
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:53,640
Trump puts America first.

2909
01:47:54,640 --> 01:47:57,360
One Nation proudly puts Australia first.

2910
01:47:58,340 --> 01:47:59,280
Good luck.

2911
01:47:59,720 --> 01:48:00,380
Good luck.

2912
01:48:00,460 --> 01:48:01,340
Hey, what are we drinking?

2913
01:48:02,220 --> 01:48:04,480
Well, now that you mention it, I'm drinking

2914
01:48:05,420 --> 01:48:10,020
Cascade Ice Organic with a USDA stamp.

2915
01:48:10,020 --> 01:48:14,000
Organic Pomegranate Mango Caffeinated Seltzer.

2916
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:16,200
And with that, I'd like to thank you

2917
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:17,540
for your courage to say in the morning

2918
01:48:17,540 --> 01:48:18,940
to you, the man who put the C

2919
01:48:18,940 --> 01:48:20,980
in the Cascade horrible drink that is approved

2920
01:48:20,980 --> 01:48:21,720
by the USDA.

2921
01:48:21,980 --> 01:48:23,240
Say hello to my friend on the other

2922
01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:25,320
end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.

2923
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:27,000
DeMoraire!

2924
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:29,000
Yeah!

2925
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:30,560
In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Crails.

2926
01:48:30,680 --> 01:48:32,220
In the morning, ship C, boostin' ground feedin'

2927
01:48:32,220 --> 01:48:33,340
the air subs in the water to the

2928
01:48:33,340 --> 01:48:34,860
dames and the knights out there.

2929
01:48:34,960 --> 01:48:36,620
In the morning to the trolls hangin' out

2930
01:48:36,620 --> 01:48:37,300
in the troll room.

2931
01:48:37,380 --> 01:48:38,280
Let me count you, don't move.

2932
01:48:38,300 --> 01:48:38,800
Here we go.

2933
01:48:45,100 --> 01:48:46,580
2157 is our peak.

2934
01:48:47,440 --> 01:48:49,620
So that again, we're up.

2935
01:48:49,980 --> 01:48:52,300
I'm not hugely up, but we're up.

2936
01:48:52,800 --> 01:48:53,800
It's the Trump bump.

2937
01:48:55,660 --> 01:48:57,240
It's the burp bump.

2938
01:48:57,460 --> 01:48:58,060
That's what it is.

2939
01:48:58,100 --> 01:48:58,980
The Trump burp bump.

2940
01:48:59,820 --> 01:49:00,240
Blurt.

2941
01:49:00,400 --> 01:49:01,120
Sorry, not burp.

2942
01:49:01,200 --> 01:49:01,460
Blurt.

2943
01:49:01,460 --> 01:49:01,700
Blurt.

2944
01:49:01,700 --> 01:49:02,680
I like the blurt.

2945
01:49:02,860 --> 01:49:05,900
I think the blurt is a good concept.

2946
01:49:06,300 --> 01:49:07,540
I think it's gonna be a theme.

2947
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:09,080
I think it has legs.

2948
01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:09,980
It has legs.

2949
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:12,700
Thank you very much, trolls.

2950
01:49:13,060 --> 01:49:14,360
We love seeing you here.

2951
01:49:14,460 --> 01:49:16,100
I saw we had a new troll in

2952
01:49:16,100 --> 01:49:16,280
there.

2953
01:49:16,340 --> 01:49:17,500
He's like, hey, first time I can listen

2954
01:49:17,500 --> 01:49:18,080
live.

2955
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:18,960
All right, good.

2956
01:49:19,180 --> 01:49:20,280
A new troll.

2957
01:49:21,400 --> 01:49:23,100
Yeah, we got new trolls.

2958
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:24,580
It's good to have new trolls.

2959
01:49:24,740 --> 01:49:25,920
You know, it mixes it up a little

2960
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:26,180
bit.

2961
01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:28,600
And immediately they go, well, you know, it's

2962
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:30,000
really good, you know, because we can say

2963
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:31,600
stuff here in the troll room, and sometimes

2964
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:33,240
Adam's mentioned on the show, but you might

2965
01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:33,860
get kicked out.

2966
01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:34,720
He might kick you.

2967
01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:37,920
I kick one guy out once every three

2968
01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:38,340
months.

2969
01:49:38,580 --> 01:49:40,420
Just for kicks, honestly.

2970
01:49:41,100 --> 01:49:42,360
No surprise it's that high.

2971
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:43,900
You did one last week.

2972
01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:44,960
That was the one.

2973
01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:45,900
That was the one.

2974
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:47,080
My one time this quarter.

2975
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:50,520
The trolls are listening live through trollroom.io.

2976
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:52,900
I just renewed that domain name.

2977
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:55,420
Or, of course, and I recommend this, I

2978
01:49:55,420 --> 01:49:59,060
was seeing Sam Tripoli was crying on Twitter.

2979
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:01,740
Who's Sam Tripoli?

2980
01:50:02,300 --> 01:50:03,720
Oh, the Tinfoil Hat podcast.

2981
01:50:03,880 --> 01:50:04,940
We played him before.

2982
01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:05,640
Oh, right.

2983
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:06,520
Sam Tripoli.

2984
01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:09,740
And he was crying like, I think I'm

2985
01:50:09,740 --> 01:50:10,620
getting screwed.

2986
01:50:10,840 --> 01:50:12,400
You know, my show hasn't showed up on

2987
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:14,860
Apple for like nine hours.

2988
01:50:15,020 --> 01:50:17,980
I'm like, Sam, it's the wrong app, man.

2989
01:50:18,060 --> 01:50:18,900
That's the problem.

2990
01:50:19,320 --> 01:50:21,520
Now, if it doesn't show up on Spotify,

2991
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:22,940
they may have taken it down.

2992
01:50:23,140 --> 01:50:25,520
Spotify reserves that right and does it daily.

2993
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:28,280
They take down episodes, entire podcasts.

2994
01:50:28,780 --> 01:50:29,640
Yeah, they are the worst.

2995
01:50:30,080 --> 01:50:31,720
And Apple, you know, I just don't think

2996
01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:34,080
there's enough investment of the app.

2997
01:50:34,140 --> 01:50:36,140
It's not a profit center for Apple, so

2998
01:50:36,140 --> 01:50:37,540
they have a small team.

2999
01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:40,220
They're a dedicated team, but sometimes stuff goes

3000
01:50:40,220 --> 01:50:40,460
wrong.

3001
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:42,960
Now, if you take a modern podcast app,

3002
01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:45,180
oh, boy, 90 seconds.

3003
01:50:45,300 --> 01:50:46,540
So you need to tell your audience to

3004
01:50:46,540 --> 01:50:48,400
use a modern podcast app, like we tell

3005
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:50,560
ours at podcastapps.com.

3006
01:50:51,360 --> 01:50:54,180
Now, another thing you can consider is to

3007
01:50:54,180 --> 01:50:55,140
run the value for...

3008
01:50:55,140 --> 01:50:57,160
You know, someone...

3009
01:50:57,160 --> 01:50:57,840
Sir...

3010
01:50:57,840 --> 01:50:58,440
Hold on a second.

3011
01:50:58,540 --> 01:50:59,260
Let me grab it here.

3012
01:51:01,280 --> 01:51:03,440
I was sent a book to the PO

3013
01:51:03,440 --> 01:51:04,640
box.

3014
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:05,600
A book?

3015
01:51:05,720 --> 01:51:06,460
You got a book?

3016
01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:07,380
Yes, I got a book.

3017
01:51:07,480 --> 01:51:09,880
It was from Sir Julian, the Duke of

3018
01:51:09,880 --> 01:51:10,460
Bastrop.

3019
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:11,460
Remember?

3020
01:51:12,380 --> 01:51:15,480
Sir Julian is the one who gave us

3021
01:51:15,480 --> 01:51:15,720
Phoebe.

3022
01:51:16,740 --> 01:51:20,340
And this book is from 1990.

3023
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:28,120
And it's Confessions of an Interant Fundraiser.

3024
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:30,220
The book is called...

3025
01:51:30,220 --> 01:51:30,680
Itinerant.

3026
01:51:30,980 --> 01:51:31,780
There you go.

3027
01:51:31,980 --> 01:51:33,480
What does itinerant mean?

3028
01:51:34,480 --> 01:51:35,920
You know, a guy floats around.

3029
01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:36,880
He's floating around.

3030
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:40,200
I'm an itinerant podcaster.

3031
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:43,080
Yeah, do a podcast here or there.

3032
01:51:43,180 --> 01:51:43,860
I don't care.

3033
01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:47,600
I'm on the road, roaming around, getting a

3034
01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:47,900
job.

3035
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:49,060
I get a job here, I get a

3036
01:51:49,060 --> 01:51:49,500
job there.

3037
01:51:49,560 --> 01:51:50,060
It doesn't matter.

3038
01:51:50,540 --> 01:51:52,480
Gee, sounds a lot like people who work

3039
01:51:52,480 --> 01:51:53,120
in the patch.

3040
01:51:57,660 --> 01:52:01,360
John hated, hated Landman.

3041
01:52:02,100 --> 01:52:04,180
You hated it, and you hated it so

3042
01:52:04,180 --> 01:52:07,120
much you wrote an entire treatment.

3043
01:52:07,480 --> 01:52:08,280
I wrote an essay.

3044
01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:11,220
I mean, Brunetti even emailed it to me

3045
01:52:11,220 --> 01:52:13,160
and said, Oh my God, look at this.

3046
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:16,700
I sent him a copy, sent you a

3047
01:52:16,700 --> 01:52:18,700
copy, and then I posted it on Twitter.

3048
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:19,240
I know.

3049
01:52:19,340 --> 01:52:21,000
I responded with, Okay, Boomer.

3050
01:52:21,140 --> 01:52:21,660
That's fine.

3051
01:52:21,820 --> 01:52:22,920
You didn't like it.

3052
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:23,180
Fine.

3053
01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:26,800
Anyway, the book is titled Value for Value.

3054
01:52:28,440 --> 01:52:31,220
Confessions of an Itinerant Fundraiser.

3055
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:33,520
Yeah, now it's kind of a...

3056
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:34,960
I have to look through it.

3057
01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:37,340
But it seems like a lot.

3058
01:52:37,440 --> 01:52:38,660
It's like, how many pages here?

3059
01:52:38,940 --> 01:52:39,820
300 pages.

3060
01:52:40,020 --> 01:52:41,740
Let me explain you Value for Value in

3061
01:52:41,740 --> 01:52:43,140
one paragraph.

3062
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:46,800
We give you this show completely free of

3063
01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:51,920
advertising, hassles, special freemium offers.

3064
01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:53,420
There's no plus bundle.

3065
01:52:53,740 --> 01:52:54,940
There's no subscriptions.

3066
01:52:55,660 --> 01:52:57,700
You just go ahead.

3067
01:52:57,760 --> 01:52:58,960
I love the plus bundle.

3068
01:52:59,460 --> 01:53:01,600
By the way, that was another book.

3069
01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:03,340
Someone didn't send us the book, but sent

3070
01:53:03,340 --> 01:53:06,680
us a picture of the NPR Startup Guide

3071
01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:07,880
to Podcasts.

3072
01:53:07,940 --> 01:53:09,520
Yeah, we have to get a copy of

3073
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:09,780
this.

3074
01:53:09,900 --> 01:53:12,740
I desperately need a copy because they're the

3075
01:53:12,740 --> 01:53:15,300
guys that went broke doing podcasts.

3076
01:53:15,660 --> 01:53:15,880
Yeah.

3077
01:53:16,920 --> 01:53:18,300
Here's what not to do.

3078
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:22,060
Get a copy from Mimi and then just

3079
01:53:22,060 --> 01:53:24,080
copy it and then put my name on

3080
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:24,180
it.

3081
01:53:24,220 --> 01:53:25,120
It'll be a success.

3082
01:53:25,180 --> 01:53:25,860
I guarantee it.

3083
01:53:26,120 --> 01:53:28,420
It probably has everything in there that's right,

3084
01:53:28,480 --> 01:53:30,540
except for you need a Neumann microphone.

3085
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:32,980
The Neumann mic will break you.

3086
01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:34,780
It will, time and time again.

3087
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:37,700
Instead of all that, we just ask you

3088
01:53:37,700 --> 01:53:40,200
to return value to us in one of

3089
01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:42,020
three ways, time, talent, or treasure.

3090
01:53:42,160 --> 01:53:43,600
We've got a lot of time and talent.

3091
01:53:43,940 --> 01:53:45,680
A lot of people providing us with boots

3092
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:48,600
on the ground, with clips, with ideas, with

3093
01:53:48,600 --> 01:53:49,040
feedback.

3094
01:53:49,700 --> 01:53:52,720
Everybody is a specialist in one area.

3095
01:53:53,300 --> 01:53:56,200
It may be that you drive a truck

3096
01:53:56,200 --> 01:53:58,380
in a certain region and have something there.

3097
01:53:58,460 --> 01:53:59,960
Maybe you work in a certain factory.

3098
01:54:00,380 --> 01:54:02,080
We have doctors, dentists.

3099
01:54:02,620 --> 01:54:06,180
We have lots of military, law enforcement, pilots.

3100
01:54:07,100 --> 01:54:09,540
I'm always amazed how many people work in

3101
01:54:09,540 --> 01:54:14,700
government who are clearly all pretty disgruntled.

3102
01:54:14,700 --> 01:54:17,300
We have a broad range of people that

3103
01:54:17,300 --> 01:54:19,440
have caught on to this show.

3104
01:54:19,740 --> 01:54:22,840
Yes, and we love you for that.

3105
01:54:23,420 --> 01:54:25,140
Now, we also need to pay our bills,

3106
01:54:25,240 --> 01:54:27,300
so we love when people send us value.

3107
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:31,260
But before we do that, let's thank some

3108
01:54:31,260 --> 01:54:34,460
of the people who sent us some time

3109
01:54:34,460 --> 01:54:38,260
and talent in the form of artwork.

3110
01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:44,320
We pick a piece of art from noagendaartgenerator

3111
01:54:44,320 --> 01:54:46,560
.com, another fine example of value for value

3112
01:54:46,560 --> 01:54:47,400
being returned to us.

3113
01:54:47,460 --> 01:54:48,400
Thank you, Sir Paul Couture.

3114
01:54:49,620 --> 01:54:52,220
We have many pieces to choose from, certainly

3115
01:54:52,220 --> 01:54:56,100
in this peak AI moment that we're living

3116
01:54:56,100 --> 01:54:56,400
in.

3117
01:54:57,660 --> 01:54:59,580
We use that for the cover art, but

3118
01:54:59,580 --> 01:55:02,440
a lot of these pieces are used in

3119
01:55:02,440 --> 01:55:05,000
the modern podcast apps with chapter images.

3120
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:08,100
I think people enjoy being highlighted there as

3121
01:55:08,100 --> 01:55:09,360
well, but there can only be one that

3122
01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:10,540
is chosen for the cover art.

3123
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:13,040
In this case, it was Capitalist Agenda, and

3124
01:55:13,040 --> 01:55:14,680
I'm pretty sure this was not an AI

3125
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:15,100
piece.

3126
01:55:15,180 --> 01:55:17,320
This looks like Capitalist Agenda.

3127
01:55:17,740 --> 01:55:19,600
This is one of his classic pieces.

3128
01:55:20,460 --> 01:55:22,620
That was for episode 1735.

3129
01:55:22,920 --> 01:55:25,220
We titled it Old Bag, and this was

3130
01:55:25,220 --> 01:55:31,620
like a nuclear launch button with two keys

3131
01:55:31,620 --> 01:55:34,440
with little dog tags, Curry and Dvorak, so

3132
01:55:34,440 --> 01:55:35,360
we got our names in.

3133
01:55:35,580 --> 01:55:37,560
He even snuck in an ITM on the

3134
01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:40,600
red, yellow, green button at the top, and

3135
01:55:40,600 --> 01:55:42,700
the big red button for launch was Tariff

3136
01:55:44,060 --> 01:55:44,860
Podcasts, 33%.

3137
01:55:45,280 --> 01:55:47,300
And we liked it, and there were other

3138
01:55:47,300 --> 01:55:49,180
contenders, but this was the one that we

3139
01:55:49,180 --> 01:55:50,860
liked the most, and I'm pretty sure it

3140
01:55:50,860 --> 01:55:50,960
was not AI.

3141
01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:53,040
It was one other one that we thought

3142
01:55:53,040 --> 01:55:53,900
was good.

3143
01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:55,980
Well, there were a couple.

3144
01:55:55,980 --> 01:55:59,820
Well, you did like the blue acorns farm

3145
01:55:59,820 --> 01:56:00,820
of what's in your mouth.

3146
01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:04,960
I said, we can't post it, but I

3147
01:56:04,960 --> 01:56:06,180
certainly liked it.

3148
01:56:06,920 --> 01:56:09,460
Now, the one that became the one I

3149
01:56:09,460 --> 01:56:11,020
liked at first and you liked, and we

3150
01:56:11,020 --> 01:56:12,860
both kind of liked, but you spotted the

3151
01:56:12,860 --> 01:56:15,740
fact that it had hallucinations.

3152
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:19,740
AI hallucinations was the Let's Play LEGO AI

3153
01:56:19,740 --> 01:56:22,260
piece done by Darren O'Neill, and from

3154
01:56:22,260 --> 01:56:24,040
a distance, it's like, oh, that's a cool

3155
01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:26,980
LEGO podcast studio, but the minute you look

3156
01:56:26,980 --> 01:56:29,040
at it, this thing was wrong in so

3157
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:29,700
many ways.

3158
01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:32,100
I mean, none of this LEGO would fit

3159
01:56:32,100 --> 01:56:32,500
together.

3160
01:56:32,700 --> 01:56:34,520
All the LEGO bumps were distorted.

3161
01:56:35,180 --> 01:56:38,700
There's a pop filter floating in midair for

3162
01:56:38,700 --> 01:56:39,280
some reason.

3163
01:56:39,720 --> 01:56:41,040
That's what got me, because I said, this

3164
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:41,520
is great.

3165
01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:43,980
This is the best, because I like some

3166
01:56:43,980 --> 01:56:46,140
of these pieces he comes up with, and

3167
01:56:46,140 --> 01:56:48,940
then you pointed out the pop filter floating

3168
01:56:48,940 --> 01:56:51,800
in air just by itself, and I looked

3169
01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:52,780
at that, and I went, ah.

3170
01:56:54,900 --> 01:56:57,100
Disqualified the piece, and it was like, and

3171
01:56:57,100 --> 01:56:58,860
then I made the point that you have

3172
01:56:58,860 --> 01:57:00,860
more OCD than I do.

3173
01:57:00,980 --> 01:57:03,040
I don't really have that, because I'm, if

3174
01:57:03,040 --> 01:57:03,700
you haven't noticed.

3175
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:05,380
No, I've noticed, yes, I have.

3176
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:06,600
I've noticed in your edits.

3177
01:57:08,580 --> 01:57:10,920
Oh, please.

3178
01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:11,320
Callback.

3179
01:57:12,240 --> 01:57:16,400
And the point is, as soon as you

3180
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:17,880
spotted it, it was one of those things,

3181
01:57:17,920 --> 01:57:20,180
once you see it, you can't unsee it,

3182
01:57:20,240 --> 01:57:21,880
and I kept seeing that, ah, okay, would

3183
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:23,140
that disqualify the piece?

3184
01:57:23,320 --> 01:57:25,660
Yeah, the mixer looked like it was made

3185
01:57:25,660 --> 01:57:28,320
in a Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

3186
01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:30,220
I didn't have as an issue with the

3187
01:57:30,220 --> 01:57:31,160
mixer like you did.

3188
01:57:31,340 --> 01:57:31,520
Blobs.

3189
01:57:31,580 --> 01:57:33,180
A lot of people did Lego stuff.

3190
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:35,420
We very much like the old bags, but

3191
01:57:35,420 --> 01:57:36,720
it doesn't really work.

3192
01:57:37,180 --> 01:57:37,840
No, that's not going to work.

3193
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:39,680
I kind of like the will work for

3194
01:57:39,680 --> 01:57:41,680
public broadcasting, the blue haired, sad looking kid.

3195
01:57:42,060 --> 01:57:44,760
I almost used that for the, ah, I

3196
01:57:44,760 --> 01:57:48,360
almost used that for the, ah, newsletter?

3197
01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:49,680
Ah, newsletter.

3198
01:57:49,980 --> 01:57:51,480
I was going to use that.

3199
01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:53,740
The other one, which came in, a late

3200
01:57:53,740 --> 01:57:56,320
piece that came in, we should mention, it

3201
01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:58,180
came in too late to do.

3202
01:57:58,720 --> 01:58:01,520
It was the podcaster, please donate.

3203
01:58:04,420 --> 01:58:06,900
That piece came in after we had closed.

3204
01:58:07,420 --> 01:58:09,400
But that was a great piece, and I

3205
01:58:09,400 --> 01:58:14,080
like pieces for the newsletter that ask for

3206
01:58:14,080 --> 01:58:15,560
donations in the art.

3207
01:58:16,620 --> 01:58:17,960
So I almost used it, but it was

3208
01:58:17,960 --> 01:58:20,840
so kind of depressing looking, I ended up

3209
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:24,760
I decided against it, and I probably lost,

3210
01:58:24,840 --> 01:58:26,960
probably lost us a thousand dollars, I'm guessing,

3211
01:58:27,160 --> 01:58:28,300
in the donations.

3212
01:58:28,700 --> 01:58:30,860
Because it would have worked, you know, it

3213
01:58:30,860 --> 01:58:31,200
would have worked.

3214
01:58:31,220 --> 01:58:33,020
No, it always works, but I just felt

3215
01:58:33,020 --> 01:58:34,780
bad about it because the piece just looked

3216
01:58:34,780 --> 01:58:35,460
like pathetic.

3217
01:58:35,880 --> 01:58:38,800
So I ended up using We've Landed, by

3218
01:58:38,800 --> 01:58:41,620
Gun Monkey, for one reason only.

3219
01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:43,520
It's just a pretty piece.

3220
01:58:43,680 --> 01:58:45,380
Yes, sometimes it's just a pretty piece.

3221
01:58:45,540 --> 01:58:46,760
That's right, sometimes.

3222
01:58:47,860 --> 01:58:49,940
Well, we also want to thank everybody who

3223
01:58:49,940 --> 01:58:52,340
supported us for this episode, $50 and above,

3224
01:58:52,640 --> 01:58:53,960
and at this moment in the show, we'd

3225
01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:55,960
like to stop and break for our executive

3226
01:58:55,960 --> 01:58:57,420
and associate executive producers.

3227
01:58:57,540 --> 01:58:59,840
These are real titles, show business titles you

3228
01:58:59,840 --> 01:59:01,440
can use anywhere for as long as Hollywood

3229
01:59:01,440 --> 01:59:01,860
exists.

3230
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:04,560
By the way, this being the special donation

3231
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:07,960
segment which people sometimes skip over, they're going

3232
01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:10,080
to miss our excellent review of the Grammy

3233
01:59:10,080 --> 01:59:14,660
Awards, which you bailed on after, what, ten

3234
01:59:14,660 --> 01:59:15,400
minutes, I think?

3235
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:17,740
Oh, it was unwatchable.

3236
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:19,280
Unwatchable.

3237
01:59:19,760 --> 01:59:21,900
It was worse than Landman.

3238
01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:26,880
Yeah, you got that right.

3239
01:59:30,420 --> 01:59:32,320
I tried to set a marker and I

3240
01:59:32,320 --> 01:59:33,200
messed it up here.

3241
01:59:33,320 --> 01:59:33,800
Hold on a second.

3242
01:59:34,560 --> 01:59:38,060
Tina and I watched and just a couple

3243
01:59:38,060 --> 01:59:38,600
of observations.

3244
01:59:38,740 --> 01:59:40,580
First of all, ratings are down.

3245
01:59:41,040 --> 01:59:44,320
Ratings are down almost 10% year over

3246
01:59:44,320 --> 01:59:44,700
year.

3247
01:59:45,260 --> 01:59:47,240
I will say there was less Satan.

3248
01:59:47,400 --> 01:59:50,440
There was no actual Satan segment in this

3249
01:59:50,440 --> 01:59:51,380
year's Grammys.

3250
01:59:52,920 --> 01:59:55,420
From time to time, there were women But

3251
01:59:55,420 --> 01:59:56,940
can I stop you there for a second?

3252
01:59:57,080 --> 01:59:57,220
Yeah.

3253
01:59:57,520 --> 02:00:00,040
I was thinking about this because I stopped

3254
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:02,040
watching that I kind of looked at an

3255
02:00:02,040 --> 02:00:04,640
overview and I looking for some, you know,

3256
02:00:04,680 --> 02:00:06,340
just skipped through and there wasn't anything I

3257
02:00:06,340 --> 02:00:08,740
just gave up, but I think it's because

3258
02:00:08,740 --> 02:00:09,380
of the fires.

3259
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:11,820
They're in LA.

3260
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:13,040
They just had a big fire.

3261
02:00:13,140 --> 02:00:14,540
They couldn't put a bunch of fire on

3262
02:00:14,540 --> 02:00:15,180
stage.

3263
02:00:15,240 --> 02:00:16,140
They couldn't do all the fires.

3264
02:00:16,260 --> 02:00:17,960
They couldn't do their normal fire stuff?

3265
02:00:17,960 --> 02:00:18,980
It would be triggering.

3266
02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:23,740
Now you don't like Trevor Noah hosting that

3267
02:00:23,740 --> 02:00:24,060
thing.

3268
02:00:24,820 --> 02:00:26,860
Because Trevor Noah to me is a phony.

3269
02:00:27,400 --> 02:00:30,120
I used to see Trevor Noah when he

3270
02:00:30,120 --> 02:00:31,960
did I didn't see him personally, but I

3271
02:00:31,960 --> 02:00:34,580
saw his bits on YouTube when he was

3272
02:00:34,580 --> 02:00:36,800
a stand-up comic out of South Africa.

3273
02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:38,440
Hilarious.

3274
02:00:38,620 --> 02:00:39,660
He did a lot, but he did a

3275
02:00:39,660 --> 02:00:41,140
lot of racist material.

3276
02:00:41,320 --> 02:00:42,400
Which he should go back to.

3277
02:00:42,460 --> 02:00:43,440
He should go back to that.

3278
02:00:43,540 --> 02:00:44,040
What's he thinking?

3279
02:00:44,100 --> 02:00:45,620
And he was really funny with it.

3280
02:00:45,660 --> 02:00:48,600
He was very he was not politically correct.

3281
02:00:48,980 --> 02:00:51,280
He went to the Daily Show became the

3282
02:00:51,280 --> 02:00:55,640
host and became incredibly stayed and now on

3283
02:00:55,640 --> 02:00:57,680
this show he I mean if I was

3284
02:00:57,680 --> 02:00:59,720
going to describe him I would describe him

3285
02:00:59,720 --> 02:01:02,920
as trying to do his, whatever he was

3286
02:01:02,920 --> 02:01:05,600
doing as a host as talking too fast,

3287
02:01:05,720 --> 02:01:07,460
acting like you know, if it was somebody

3288
02:01:07,460 --> 02:01:08,900
else I'd say he was coked up.

3289
02:01:08,960 --> 02:01:10,200
If it was Kamala.

3290
02:01:10,640 --> 02:01:11,080
Interesting.

3291
02:01:11,280 --> 02:01:15,060
He's brushing through his material nervously.

3292
02:01:15,520 --> 02:01:17,900
It just was like it was cringy.

3293
02:01:18,080 --> 02:01:19,320
I couldn't watch the show.

3294
02:01:19,420 --> 02:01:20,060
It was terrible.

3295
02:01:20,440 --> 02:01:21,780
I don't know why they have him as

3296
02:01:21,780 --> 02:01:22,120
the host.

3297
02:01:22,200 --> 02:01:23,280
What's he got to do with the music

3298
02:01:23,280 --> 02:01:23,860
industry?

3299
02:01:24,060 --> 02:01:25,220
He did it last year.

3300
02:01:25,600 --> 02:01:27,380
He's affordable probably.

3301
02:01:28,460 --> 02:01:29,460
I think he's just affordable.

3302
02:01:29,720 --> 02:01:32,820
And he gets to double as Bruno Mars.

3303
02:01:33,200 --> 02:01:34,340
So they get two for one.

3304
02:01:34,560 --> 02:01:35,800
Look just like Bruno Mars.

3305
02:01:35,800 --> 02:01:39,980
It was nice to see women in pretty

3306
02:01:39,980 --> 02:01:41,800
dresses singing nice songs.

3307
02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:44,860
I mean that is the boomer adjacent in

3308
02:01:44,860 --> 02:01:45,020
me.

3309
02:01:45,120 --> 02:01:47,060
I'm like oh look there's someone who's dressed.

3310
02:01:47,620 --> 02:01:48,220
How nice.

3311
02:01:48,840 --> 02:01:50,280
Leaning on a piano and singing.

3312
02:01:51,240 --> 02:01:52,780
That was kind of impressive.

3313
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:56,120
Will Smith made his comeback as if nothing

3314
02:01:56,120 --> 02:01:56,680
had happened.

3315
02:01:57,680 --> 02:02:00,460
He did the Quincy Jones segment.

3316
02:02:01,100 --> 02:02:04,020
There were a few DEI and trans comments

3317
02:02:04,020 --> 02:02:05,900
maybe three or four.

3318
02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:09,460
There was a lot more God than usual.

3319
02:02:09,640 --> 02:02:09,900
I like that.

3320
02:02:09,980 --> 02:02:11,560
I attribute that to President Trump.

3321
02:02:11,940 --> 02:02:13,220
We've talked about this.

3322
02:02:13,500 --> 02:02:14,900
The president sets the tone.

3323
02:02:15,600 --> 02:02:19,520
Like Bill Clinton made certain sexual acts not

3324
02:02:19,520 --> 02:02:19,720
sex.

3325
02:02:19,960 --> 02:02:20,440
Blowjobs.

3326
02:02:20,820 --> 02:02:22,040
It was not sex.

3327
02:02:22,240 --> 02:02:23,420
So that became a thing.

3328
02:02:23,480 --> 02:02:24,340
It's not sex.

3329
02:02:25,660 --> 02:02:27,660
And President Trump's talking more about God.

3330
02:02:27,760 --> 02:02:28,820
So that snuck in.

3331
02:02:28,920 --> 02:02:29,400
Good, good.

3332
02:02:29,500 --> 02:02:31,440
Now the thing that irked me the most

3333
02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:34,700
because I don't really watch You watch these

3334
02:02:34,700 --> 02:02:34,920
things.

3335
02:02:35,060 --> 02:02:36,100
You're a maven.

3336
02:02:36,620 --> 02:02:37,900
Yeah I don't really watch.

3337
02:02:38,100 --> 02:02:40,700
And there were some really good performances.

3338
02:02:40,880 --> 02:02:43,180
I thought the new music, the new artist

3339
02:02:43,180 --> 02:02:44,540
segment was outstanding.

3340
02:02:46,100 --> 02:02:48,200
But I don't watch a lot of network

3341
02:02:48,200 --> 02:02:48,720
television.

3342
02:02:48,860 --> 02:02:50,980
Well of course I have news networks on

3343
02:02:50,980 --> 02:02:52,400
all the time and I just ignore the

3344
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:56,000
ad breaks but the number of ad breaks

3345
02:02:56,000 --> 02:03:00,340
and the first 10 without fail had a

3346
02:03:00,340 --> 02:03:03,360
different pharmaceutical product in it that I'd never

3347
02:03:03,360 --> 02:03:06,400
heard of before with each name was more

3348
02:03:06,400 --> 02:03:08,360
horrible than the previous one.

3349
02:03:08,360 --> 02:03:09,540
I've noticed this too.

3350
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:10,920
It was unbelievable.

3351
02:03:11,400 --> 02:03:13,900
There's these crazy drugs that they're advertising it's

3352
02:03:13,900 --> 02:03:14,260
unbelievable.

3353
02:03:14,420 --> 02:03:15,840
They've got to put a stop to this.

3354
02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:17,080
And if you don't know what it is

3355
02:03:17,080 --> 02:03:18,320
you're like well what is this?

3356
02:03:18,640 --> 02:03:19,520
Do I have this?

3357
02:03:19,560 --> 02:03:20,740
I don't even know what it is but

3358
02:03:20,740 --> 02:03:22,140
it's going to solve it if I have

3359
02:03:22,140 --> 02:03:22,280
it.

3360
02:03:22,420 --> 02:03:24,620
You couldn't even figure out what the affliction

3361
02:03:24,620 --> 02:03:26,200
was that these drugs were for.

3362
02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:27,820
It was bizarre.

3363
02:03:27,820 --> 02:03:30,600
Have you seen the cartoon ad for Aliquist

3364
02:03:30,600 --> 02:03:32,240
or whatever I'm not sure what the drug

3365
02:03:32,240 --> 02:03:36,020
was where it's a cartoon it's like for

3366
02:03:36,020 --> 02:03:40,360
bipolar it's literally a cartoon of this girl.

3367
02:03:40,820 --> 02:03:42,360
I missed that one.

3368
02:03:42,380 --> 02:03:43,760
It's an entire cartoon.

3369
02:03:43,940 --> 02:03:47,780
It's a cartoon advertisement with a crazy voice

3370
02:03:47,780 --> 02:03:51,500
that's like either South African or Australian I

3371
02:03:51,500 --> 02:03:53,580
can't even get the accent because it's kind

3372
02:03:53,580 --> 02:03:56,360
of awkward so you can't quite understand what

3373
02:03:56,360 --> 02:03:58,620
they're saying and especially when they get to

3374
02:03:58,620 --> 02:04:02,180
all the contraindications it's like blurred.

3375
02:04:02,560 --> 02:04:05,040
The first one that came by a side

3376
02:04:05,040 --> 02:04:06,700
effect I kid you not was death.

3377
02:04:07,260 --> 02:04:08,160
I saw it on the screen.

3378
02:04:08,180 --> 02:04:09,100
That's a lot of them.

3379
02:04:09,400 --> 02:04:10,780
Side effect could be death.

3380
02:04:10,980 --> 02:04:11,500
Like what?

3381
02:04:12,040 --> 02:04:13,380
It's not a side effect.

3382
02:04:14,480 --> 02:04:15,560
That's the end.

3383
02:04:16,320 --> 02:04:20,080
Your prescription may end because you'll die.

3384
02:04:20,380 --> 02:04:21,120
It was unbelievable.

3385
02:04:21,560 --> 02:04:22,860
I'm sorry I need to go back to

3386
02:04:22,860 --> 02:04:23,640
the art for a second.

3387
02:04:23,740 --> 02:04:25,480
We got a beautiful note from the farmer's

3388
02:04:25,480 --> 02:04:25,760
wife.

3389
02:04:25,880 --> 02:04:28,900
You'll recall that her kids are homeschooled.

3390
02:04:29,380 --> 02:04:32,320
She has seven of them I think and

3391
02:04:32,320 --> 02:04:35,460
we had questioned why they had the art

3392
02:04:35,460 --> 02:04:38,440
of the podcaster with the sombrero.

3393
02:04:38,860 --> 02:04:40,320
You talked about this in the last show.

3394
02:04:40,460 --> 02:04:41,600
She sent us the note.

3395
02:04:41,800 --> 02:04:43,220
We didn't have the note.

3396
02:04:44,120 --> 02:04:44,660
No we did.

3397
02:04:44,820 --> 02:04:45,780
No we didn't.

3398
02:04:46,800 --> 02:04:48,020
Let me read the note.

3399
02:04:48,080 --> 02:04:48,740
I don't think we did.

3400
02:04:49,220 --> 02:04:49,920
I think we did.

3401
02:04:50,880 --> 02:04:52,200
I don't think we did.

3402
02:04:52,440 --> 02:04:53,500
Check the date.

3403
02:04:54,060 --> 02:04:56,480
I just copy pasted it into my show

3404
02:04:56,480 --> 02:04:56,880
notes.

3405
02:04:58,480 --> 02:05:00,780
This is worth reading again.

3406
02:05:01,460 --> 02:05:03,520
I don't think we read it the first

3407
02:05:03,520 --> 02:05:03,800
time.

3408
02:05:04,640 --> 02:05:07,760
It was about the online application for podcasters

3409
02:05:07,760 --> 02:05:09,900
to be at the White House briefings being

3410
02:05:09,900 --> 02:05:10,840
only in Spanish.

3411
02:05:11,080 --> 02:05:12,660
That's what gave her the idea for the

3412
02:05:12,660 --> 02:05:12,800
art.

3413
02:05:12,920 --> 02:05:14,100
But she says, and this is what I

3414
02:05:14,100 --> 02:05:16,300
wanted to add, the children are not allowed

3415
02:05:16,300 --> 02:05:18,540
to listen to the podcast at this time.

3416
02:05:18,780 --> 02:05:20,600
So they only take prompts for me.

3417
02:05:20,660 --> 02:05:22,480
She's prompting her kids like they're AI.

3418
02:05:23,140 --> 02:05:25,000
We just found out It's not good.

3419
02:05:25,120 --> 02:05:26,720
I think they should listen to the show.

3420
02:05:26,900 --> 02:05:27,680
I think so too.

3421
02:05:28,500 --> 02:05:29,500
But I want to read this.

3422
02:05:29,600 --> 02:05:31,280
We just found out I'm pregnant with our

3423
02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:32,940
eighth human resource.

3424
02:05:33,800 --> 02:05:34,920
God bless you.

3425
02:05:35,380 --> 02:05:37,680
We, especially the children, are so excited.

3426
02:05:38,180 --> 02:05:39,960
They've been begging for more siblings.

3427
02:05:40,560 --> 02:05:41,420
How about that?

3428
02:05:42,060 --> 02:05:42,920
In what family?

3429
02:05:43,280 --> 02:05:44,720
It's hard to believe the kids are begging

3430
02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:45,620
for more kids.

3431
02:05:45,620 --> 02:05:46,380
But okay.

3432
02:05:48,080 --> 02:05:49,040
She's an American.

3433
02:05:49,260 --> 02:05:50,280
She's the farmer's wife.

3434
02:05:50,400 --> 02:05:51,400
This is who we used to be.

3435
02:05:51,600 --> 02:05:52,480
No, she's the best.

3436
02:05:53,440 --> 02:05:55,820
However, she suffers from a very severe morning

3437
02:05:55,820 --> 02:05:59,740
sickness called hypermesis gravidarum.

3438
02:05:59,800 --> 02:06:00,620
Yes, she's gravidarum.

3439
02:06:00,760 --> 02:06:01,920
You barely get out of bed.

3440
02:06:04,380 --> 02:06:05,760
Pregnancies cause issues.

3441
02:06:06,300 --> 02:06:07,800
Not all the time, but when they do,

3442
02:06:07,920 --> 02:06:09,280
it's a major problem.

3443
02:06:09,660 --> 02:06:11,300
Well, she wants us to pray, and I

3444
02:06:11,300 --> 02:06:11,580
am.

3445
02:06:12,680 --> 02:06:14,040
And she says, love the show!

3446
02:06:14,540 --> 02:06:15,260
The farmer's wife.

3447
02:06:15,380 --> 02:06:16,260
Thank you, farmer's wife.

3448
02:06:16,360 --> 02:06:18,140
So now, back to our executive and associate

3449
02:06:18,140 --> 02:06:18,960
executive producers.

3450
02:06:19,960 --> 02:06:21,880
These are the people who supported us with

3451
02:06:21,880 --> 02:06:22,900
$200 or above.

3452
02:06:22,980 --> 02:06:25,600
You get an associate executive producer credit for

3453
02:06:25,600 --> 02:06:26,240
this episode.

3454
02:06:26,300 --> 02:06:28,620
You can use anywhere, including imdb.com, and

3455
02:06:28,620 --> 02:06:30,320
we will read your note, as long as

3456
02:06:30,320 --> 02:06:31,060
it's not too long.

3457
02:06:31,180 --> 02:06:33,560
$300 or above, and you get an executive

3458
02:06:33,560 --> 02:06:36,220
producer credit, which you can use anywhere, in

3459
02:06:36,220 --> 02:06:37,840
show business land, and we'll read your note.

3460
02:06:37,980 --> 02:06:40,000
And we start off with Sir Harrison from

3461
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:40,980
Beaumont, Missouri.

3462
02:06:40,980 --> 02:06:41,520
Missouri.

3463
02:06:43,420 --> 02:06:45,640
And he wants a Rub-A-Lizer jingle,

3464
02:06:45,820 --> 02:06:49,220
which we have to make a decision on

3465
02:06:49,220 --> 02:06:50,700
this, because there is a Rub-A-Lizer

3466
02:06:53,140 --> 02:06:55,420
you know, there's a Rub-A-Lizer donation.

3467
02:06:55,640 --> 02:06:57,120
Are we just going to let people willy

3468
02:06:57,120 --> 02:06:59,260
-nilly use that now, or what do you

3469
02:06:59,260 --> 02:06:59,840
think?

3470
02:07:00,680 --> 02:07:01,960
3-2-1 Rub-A-Lizer?

3471
02:07:02,100 --> 02:07:03,560
33-33-33-33?

3472
02:07:03,680 --> 02:07:04,260
Yeah, yeah.

3473
02:07:04,580 --> 02:07:08,000
I mean, that's just I don't know what

3474
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:08,800
your question is.

3475
02:07:08,800 --> 02:07:12,900
Well, so, the 3-3-3 3-3

3476
02:07:12,900 --> 02:07:15,380
-3-3.33 donation is a Rub-A

3477
02:07:15,380 --> 02:07:16,220
-Lizer donation.

3478
02:07:16,340 --> 02:07:18,700
We play the jingle, but can anyone still

3479
02:07:18,700 --> 02:07:19,580
request that jingle?

3480
02:07:19,700 --> 02:07:22,280
Well, it's just been going on for years

3481
02:07:22,280 --> 02:07:24,220
that people have been requesting that jingle, and

3482
02:07:24,220 --> 02:07:24,980
we've been playing it.

3483
02:07:25,060 --> 02:07:26,440
Okay, that was my question.

3484
02:07:26,560 --> 02:07:27,440
Thank you for answering it.

3485
02:07:27,480 --> 02:07:27,980
Was that hard?

3486
02:07:28,160 --> 02:07:29,000
No, it was pretty easy.

3487
02:07:29,360 --> 02:07:30,860
Yeah, it was very difficult.

3488
02:07:31,040 --> 02:07:32,700
I had to take time out of my

3489
02:07:32,700 --> 02:07:33,020
day.

3490
02:07:34,160 --> 02:07:36,240
1-1-1-1, a row of sticks

3491
02:07:36,240 --> 02:07:37,480
for Sir Harrison.

3492
02:07:37,700 --> 02:07:38,960
He is Commodore Harrison.

3493
02:07:39,360 --> 02:07:41,200
Sir Harrison of the Rednecks, checking in, he

3494
02:07:41,200 --> 02:07:43,820
says, partial switcheroo to C.

3495
02:07:43,920 --> 02:07:47,060
Neal, my Gitmo Nation buddy in a sea

3496
02:07:47,060 --> 02:07:47,800
of commies.

3497
02:07:48,240 --> 02:07:51,900
Please grant him $500 for his path to

3498
02:07:51,900 --> 02:07:54,300
knighthood, and he wants five more years.

3499
02:07:54,700 --> 02:07:56,420
India, hang out, Mike.

3500
02:07:57,360 --> 02:07:57,960
Standby.

3501
02:07:59,240 --> 02:08:00,740
33-33-33.

3502
02:08:02,440 --> 02:08:03,760
Rub-A-Lizer out.

3503
02:08:03,920 --> 02:08:04,740
So, C.

3504
02:08:04,920 --> 02:08:07,580
Neal, you keep track of, you add that

3505
02:08:07,580 --> 02:08:10,780
$500 and when you reach knighthood, let us

3506
02:08:10,780 --> 02:08:10,980
know.

3507
02:08:11,260 --> 02:08:12,180
It's the honor system.

3508
02:08:12,300 --> 02:08:12,820
We trust you.

3509
02:08:12,940 --> 02:08:14,060
Thank you very much, Sir Harrison.

3510
02:08:14,220 --> 02:08:16,300
Commodore Harrison, we appreciate you.

3511
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:21,000
Now we have Sir Saul Hauser in Melbourne,

3512
02:08:22,140 --> 02:08:22,660
Florida.

3513
02:08:23,280 --> 02:08:27,020
666.66. And he sent in a tax

3514
02:08:27,020 --> 02:08:27,180
note.

3515
02:08:27,260 --> 02:08:29,620
It's supposed to be 666.66 because it

3516
02:08:29,620 --> 02:08:32,260
comes from Wells Fargo Bank letterhead.

3517
02:08:32,260 --> 02:08:34,300
No, it doesn't.

3518
02:08:35,300 --> 02:08:35,940
It does.

3519
02:08:36,820 --> 02:08:41,020
ITM, this is not a satanic donation he

3520
02:08:41,020 --> 02:08:43,720
writes, but the handwriting is.

3521
02:08:43,760 --> 02:08:44,980
I can tell you that right now.

3522
02:08:46,340 --> 02:08:54,880
This is 2 333.33 quarterly donations in

3523
02:08:54,880 --> 02:08:55,360
one.

3524
02:08:56,320 --> 02:08:57,800
Thank you for all you do.

3525
02:08:58,480 --> 02:09:01,080
Sales, karma please.

3526
02:09:01,180 --> 02:09:04,640
He's a Wells Fargo advisor.

3527
02:09:07,700 --> 02:09:09,720
He's getting everybody some more accounts.

3528
02:09:10,140 --> 02:09:11,360
Oh, he's a stock guy.

3529
02:09:12,040 --> 02:09:14,380
Wells Fargo advisors tends to be stock market.

3530
02:09:14,480 --> 02:09:15,780
I thought they signed you up for more

3531
02:09:15,780 --> 02:09:16,700
accounts than you need.

3532
02:09:18,320 --> 02:09:20,060
Let's hope those days are over.

3533
02:09:20,600 --> 02:09:25,180
Commodore Emeritus Sir Saul Hauser Baronet of the

3534
02:09:25,180 --> 02:09:26,380
Space Coast.

3535
02:09:26,460 --> 02:09:27,000
Alright.

3536
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:29,080
Down there by Cape Canaveral.

3537
02:09:29,200 --> 02:09:30,480
You've got karma.

3538
02:09:32,100 --> 02:09:36,140
We move on to Dan Nickisher in Douglasville,

3539
02:09:36,140 --> 02:09:36,620
Pennsylvania.

3540
02:09:37,060 --> 02:09:38,400
ITM guys, I was hit in the mouth

3541
02:09:38,400 --> 02:09:40,980
by Kelly and Michael Day from Fouquet-Varina.

3542
02:09:41,360 --> 02:09:42,580
I think I said that right.

3543
02:09:43,100 --> 02:09:45,000
Fouquet-Varina, North Carolina, back in July.

3544
02:09:45,200 --> 02:09:46,840
I have not missed an episode since.

3545
02:09:47,360 --> 02:09:47,840
Outstanding!

3546
02:09:48,360 --> 02:09:49,480
Here's my first donation.

3547
02:09:49,660 --> 02:09:50,420
Please de-douche me.

3548
02:09:52,060 --> 02:09:53,800
You've been de-douched.

3549
02:09:53,920 --> 02:09:56,060
And he says he would appreciate some R2

3550
02:09:56,060 --> 02:09:56,800
-D2 karma.

3551
02:09:56,980 --> 02:09:57,720
You got it.

3552
02:09:58,020 --> 02:10:01,680
You've got karma.

3553
02:10:03,740 --> 02:10:07,260
Eric Carey in Felton, Pennsylvania.

3554
02:10:08,400 --> 02:10:08,760
34375.

3555
02:10:09,440 --> 02:10:10,120
Four more years.

3556
02:10:10,880 --> 02:10:13,120
Thank you for the service you provide.

3557
02:10:13,360 --> 02:10:15,680
This podcast is an absolute treasure.

3558
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:16,260
Treasure.

3559
02:10:16,740 --> 02:10:20,220
No agenda has become something my whole family

3560
02:10:20,220 --> 02:10:20,700
enjoys.

3561
02:10:20,860 --> 02:10:22,840
Please say hello to my smoking hot wife,

3562
02:10:22,980 --> 02:10:27,140
Ashley, and my two human resources, Nugget and

3563
02:10:27,140 --> 02:10:27,920
Munchkin.

3564
02:10:29,280 --> 02:10:29,900
Okay.

3565
02:10:30,320 --> 02:10:31,380
Hello, Nugget!

3566
02:10:31,580 --> 02:10:33,060
Hello, Munchkin.

3567
02:10:33,320 --> 02:10:33,720
Hello, Munchkin.

3568
02:10:34,320 --> 02:10:36,100
We get a Rub-A-Lizer.

3569
02:10:36,320 --> 02:10:37,760
There you go.

3570
02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:39,080
There you go.

3571
02:10:40,220 --> 02:10:41,860
Random number theory at work.

3572
02:10:42,200 --> 02:10:45,060
You're gonna need a Bitcoin shut-up slave

3573
02:10:45,060 --> 02:10:46,080
and a screaming goat.

3574
02:10:46,460 --> 02:10:49,260
I look forward to the kids' giggles as

3575
02:10:49,260 --> 02:10:52,280
they listen to your samples, sound effects, and

3576
02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:52,820
antics.

3577
02:10:52,820 --> 02:10:53,380
Antics?

3578
02:10:53,560 --> 02:10:55,760
That's our comedic stylings.

3579
02:10:55,860 --> 02:10:56,720
That's not antics.

3580
02:10:57,240 --> 02:10:58,580
No, thanks again for all you do.

3581
02:10:58,700 --> 02:11:00,340
Thank you, Eric J.

3582
02:11:00,660 --> 02:11:01,220
Carey.

3583
02:11:02,480 --> 02:11:05,020
They're saying that all hell is gonna break

3584
02:11:05,020 --> 02:11:06,160
loose, and you're gonna need a Bitcoin.

3585
02:11:07,680 --> 02:11:08,200
India.

3586
02:11:10,560 --> 02:11:11,120
Standby.

3587
02:11:11,960 --> 02:11:12,520
33.

3588
02:11:13,020 --> 02:11:13,580
33.

3589
02:11:15,640 --> 02:11:16,940
Rub-A-Lizer out.

3590
02:11:17,220 --> 02:11:18,120
Shut up, slave!

3591
02:11:19,580 --> 02:11:22,260
You've got karma.

3592
02:11:22,820 --> 02:11:23,540
All right.

3593
02:11:24,520 --> 02:11:27,260
We have Joe Clemons in Tallahassee, Florida.

3594
02:11:28,120 --> 02:11:30,300
Long-time listener, first-time donor.

3595
02:11:30,920 --> 02:11:32,420
The nature of my business is that I'm

3596
02:11:32,420 --> 02:11:35,200
on the inside, or having drinks with people

3597
02:11:35,200 --> 02:11:36,920
on the inside, of many of the topics

3598
02:11:36,920 --> 02:11:38,000
you cover on the show.

3599
02:11:40,760 --> 02:11:42,660
Most of the media coverage I listen to

3600
02:11:42,660 --> 02:11:45,320
is subject to the Gell-Mann effect, where

3601
02:11:45,320 --> 02:11:48,140
I realize the host, reporter, analyst, or talent

3602
02:11:48,140 --> 02:11:49,960
has no idea what's actually going on with

3603
02:11:49,960 --> 02:11:51,620
topics I know deeply.

3604
02:11:52,080 --> 02:11:55,140
No agenda, however, is a different sort of

3605
02:11:55,140 --> 02:11:55,900
content.

3606
02:11:56,640 --> 02:11:59,520
You guys have an uncanny ability to analyze

3607
02:11:59,520 --> 02:12:01,760
how people think and act in the real

3608
02:12:01,760 --> 02:12:04,880
world, and I'm surprised about how correct your

3609
02:12:04,880 --> 02:12:07,860
analysis is on the issues I know best.

3610
02:12:08,540 --> 02:12:10,460
This gives me confidence that when you talk

3611
02:12:10,460 --> 02:12:13,140
about things I know nothing about, your analysis

3612
02:12:13,140 --> 02:12:13,780
is solid.

3613
02:12:14,420 --> 02:12:15,780
Ah, we fooled him.

3614
02:12:15,780 --> 02:12:18,500
Thank you for the twice-weekly dose of

3615
02:12:18,500 --> 02:12:19,740
hardcore realism.

3616
02:12:19,980 --> 02:12:21,080
What do you think he is, spook?

3617
02:12:22,740 --> 02:12:27,120
Uh, he could be an, uh, industrial guy.

3618
02:12:27,340 --> 02:12:28,540
Yeah, possible.

3619
02:12:28,740 --> 02:12:29,880
Well, anyway, thank you, Joe.

3620
02:12:29,900 --> 02:12:31,740
I mean, Tallahassee, I mean, it's not Spook

3621
02:12:31,740 --> 02:12:33,240
City there, that's for sure.

3622
02:12:33,500 --> 02:12:34,800
I don't know what's going on there.

3623
02:12:34,860 --> 02:12:35,840
Well, thank you very much, Joe.

3624
02:12:35,920 --> 02:12:36,520
We appreciate it.

3625
02:12:36,540 --> 02:12:37,660
Welcome to the party, pal.

3626
02:12:40,580 --> 02:12:42,740
Seth Murdoch, Dayton, Washington.

3627
02:12:43,400 --> 02:12:44,780
I don't even know where that is.

3628
02:12:45,520 --> 02:12:46,240
301.

3629
02:12:46,520 --> 02:12:50,860
This donation's actually an excuse to correct Dvorak's

3630
02:12:50,860 --> 02:12:53,220
awful tip of the day from months ago

3631
02:12:53,220 --> 02:12:58,160
when he recommended the Paper Mate InkJoy pen.

3632
02:13:00,200 --> 02:13:04,200
The Zebra F301 is the only choice for

3633
02:13:04,200 --> 02:13:06,520
the serious hand scribe.

3634
02:13:07,680 --> 02:13:11,280
Simplicity, elegance, and function, and none of that

3635
02:13:11,280 --> 02:13:13,280
rubbery crap on the grip.

3636
02:13:13,680 --> 02:13:15,300
The science is in.

3637
02:13:16,440 --> 02:13:18,380
Don't debate me on this.

3638
02:13:18,780 --> 02:13:20,540
Thanks for the show, Seth.

3639
02:13:20,660 --> 02:13:20,940
Okay.

3640
02:13:21,320 --> 02:13:25,880
I will get a set of Zebra F301s

3641
02:13:25,880 --> 02:13:27,500
and give them the once over and find

3642
02:13:27,500 --> 02:13:27,720
out.

3643
02:13:27,900 --> 02:13:30,860
Now, the Paper Mate InkJoy that I use...

3644
02:13:30,860 --> 02:13:32,500
We say Zebra.

3645
02:13:33,060 --> 02:13:33,160
Okay.

3646
02:13:33,400 --> 02:13:33,920
Zebra.

3647
02:13:34,440 --> 02:13:34,960
Zebra.

3648
02:13:35,760 --> 02:13:36,280
Zebra.

3649
02:13:37,460 --> 02:13:38,320
I'm gonna order one.

3650
02:13:38,320 --> 02:13:40,020
I'll get a set of these pens and

3651
02:13:40,020 --> 02:13:40,940
see if they're any good.

3652
02:13:40,940 --> 02:13:43,680
It has a durable stainless steel barrel.

3653
02:13:44,540 --> 02:13:44,980
Wow!

3654
02:13:45,240 --> 02:13:46,240
I don't need all that.

3655
02:13:46,520 --> 02:13:48,100
The barrel and all the rest of it

3656
02:13:48,100 --> 02:13:48,680
doesn't matter.

3657
02:13:49,860 --> 02:13:52,400
I was turned on to the InkJoy by

3658
02:13:52,400 --> 02:13:53,580
a bank teller.

3659
02:13:53,800 --> 02:13:55,940
And it was...

3660
02:13:56,800 --> 02:13:57,240
Sorry.

3661
02:13:57,600 --> 02:13:58,760
Let me play the commercial.

3662
02:13:59,560 --> 02:14:00,720
Play the commercial.

3663
02:14:02,740 --> 02:14:04,020
Oh, there's no voiceover.

3664
02:14:04,120 --> 02:14:05,560
It's just the pen flipping around.

3665
02:14:05,700 --> 02:14:06,220
Okay, sorry.

3666
02:14:06,380 --> 02:14:07,580
Yes, you were turned on by the bank

3667
02:14:07,580 --> 02:14:07,880
teller.

3668
02:14:07,880 --> 02:14:12,340
She said she hated these pens that the

3669
02:14:12,340 --> 02:14:14,580
bank had and these are normal ballpoint pens.

3670
02:14:14,820 --> 02:14:17,940
She said, I had to use something that

3671
02:14:17,940 --> 02:14:19,880
I didn't feel any...

3672
02:14:20,480 --> 02:14:22,000
Like there was no effort.

3673
02:14:22,160 --> 02:14:23,780
It was effortless to use these pens.

3674
02:14:24,200 --> 02:14:25,520
I said, what pen is this?

3675
02:14:25,800 --> 02:14:27,180
And so I grabbed a pen from her

3676
02:14:27,180 --> 02:14:29,580
and I said, oh, yeah, this is great.

3677
02:14:29,880 --> 02:14:30,860
And so that was that.

3678
02:14:31,440 --> 02:14:33,500
You grabbed it right out of her hands?

3679
02:14:34,600 --> 02:14:35,780
Well, she offered it to me.

3680
02:14:35,780 --> 02:14:36,340
Oh, okay.

3681
02:14:37,560 --> 02:14:39,060
Check this out, she said.

3682
02:14:42,300 --> 02:14:44,080
What's that in your mouth was the next

3683
02:14:44,080 --> 02:14:44,740
line, I guess.

3684
02:14:45,920 --> 02:14:46,840
Thank you, Seth.

3685
02:14:46,980 --> 02:14:49,580
Joseph Stegman is in Thousand Oaks, California.

3686
02:14:49,760 --> 02:14:51,060
Send us a short row of ducks.

3687
02:14:51,200 --> 02:14:53,320
222.22. I don't have any note.

3688
02:14:54,060 --> 02:14:55,520
Do you have any note for Joseph Stegman?

3689
02:14:55,840 --> 02:14:56,680
I have nothing.

3690
02:14:56,940 --> 02:14:58,240
This game is a check.

3691
02:14:58,440 --> 02:15:01,240
You've got...

3692
02:15:01,240 --> 02:15:01,720
karma.

3693
02:15:02,760 --> 02:15:04,140
Alright, double up karma for you.

3694
02:15:04,200 --> 02:15:04,600
Thank you.

3695
02:15:05,200 --> 02:15:07,160
A lot of people are reverting to bank

3696
02:15:07,160 --> 02:15:08,780
checks, which is great.

3697
02:15:09,280 --> 02:15:09,400
Yes.

3698
02:15:09,640 --> 02:15:11,420
Bailey Davies in Courtenay.

3699
02:15:11,740 --> 02:15:12,180
Courtenay.

3700
02:15:13,780 --> 02:15:15,520
I don't know how to pronounce it, to

3701
02:15:15,520 --> 02:15:16,180
be honest about it.

3702
02:15:16,500 --> 02:15:16,940
Courtenay.

3703
02:15:17,600 --> 02:15:18,040
Courtenay.

3704
02:15:20,140 --> 02:15:22,460
In BC, in British Columbia.

3705
02:15:23,740 --> 02:15:24,180
220.

3706
02:15:25,020 --> 02:15:25,400
81.

3707
02:15:26,960 --> 02:15:27,400
That's...

3708
02:15:27,400 --> 02:15:29,780
British Columbia is going to be our 52nd

3709
02:15:29,780 --> 02:15:30,080
state.

3710
02:15:30,780 --> 02:15:34,040
ICM, we are in Courtenay on Vancouver Island,

3711
02:15:34,240 --> 02:15:34,600
BC.

3712
02:15:35,760 --> 02:15:38,020
Which is a great place to visit.

3713
02:15:38,360 --> 02:15:40,460
The town of Victoria is one of the

3714
02:15:40,460 --> 02:15:44,940
cutest, most picturesque places on the West Coast,

3715
02:15:45,080 --> 02:15:45,440
period.

3716
02:15:46,860 --> 02:15:50,240
This Canadian dollar redo donation of 333.30

3717
02:15:50,240 --> 02:15:52,780
Okay, well she gets bumped up to 333

3718
02:15:52,780 --> 02:15:56,820
.33. The Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar

3719
02:15:56,820 --> 02:15:57,820
is down to tubes.

3720
02:15:57,980 --> 02:15:59,940
Australia is down to 61 cents.

3721
02:16:00,620 --> 02:16:03,760
It's from my husband Dan Peruzzo's birthday.

3722
02:16:03,960 --> 02:16:06,880
I heard you guys talking about tariffs and

3723
02:16:06,880 --> 02:16:10,600
our low value Canadian dollar and then with

3724
02:16:10,600 --> 02:16:13,040
the carbon tax and the frozen bank accounts.

3725
02:16:13,340 --> 02:16:16,700
I thought there was no more time to

3726
02:16:16,700 --> 02:16:16,980
wait.

3727
02:16:17,180 --> 02:16:17,700
Donate!

3728
02:16:18,340 --> 02:16:20,440

We all love you so much, Dan.

3732
02:16:27,280 --> 02:16:29,420
Please give him some Jobs Karma for his

3733
02:16:29,420 --> 02:16:32,040
new project called Solutions Unincorporated.

3734
02:16:32,320 --> 02:16:36,400

3736
02:16:39,540 --> 02:16:43,000
Solutions Unincorporated is a reflection of that.

3739
02:16:49,680 --> 02:16:51,040
Hold on.

3740
02:16:51,580 --> 02:16:52,620
Stop the show.

3741
02:16:52,760 --> 02:16:53,620
We have the ad.

3742
02:16:53,860 --> 02:16:57,639

3743
02:16:57,639 --> 02:16:58,900

Find zen in your pen.

3748
02:17:12,580 --> 02:17:13,459
There you go.

3749
02:17:15,000 --> 02:17:16,059
Matthew Martell.

3750
02:17:16,059 --> 02:17:17,020
Sounds expensive.

3751
02:17:17,340 --> 02:17:22,100
Matthew Martell is in Brumal, Pennsylvania, and he

3752
02:17:22,100 --> 02:17:23,760
says Linda Liu is going to make a

seeking employment.

3755
02:17:28,360 --> 02:17:31,480

And he writes, Andrew in La Honda, California.

3764
02:17:57,200 --> 02:17:58,080
Very long overdue.

3765
02:17:58,180 --> 02:17:59,580
I've been freeloading.

3766
02:17:59,860 --> 02:18:00,219
Oh no.

3767
02:18:00,420 --> 02:18:03,520
Occasionally sending rude emails since Rogan 1.

3768
02:18:03,980 --> 02:18:04,620
Nice.

3769
02:18:05,240 --> 02:18:08,040
Heartfelt thanks for getting me through the lockdowns

3770
02:18:08,040 --> 02:18:10,719
and for teaching me to analyze news and

3771
02:18:10,719 --> 02:18:11,480
information.

3772
02:18:12,180 --> 02:18:12,780
De-douche.

3773
02:18:14,340 --> 02:18:16,200
You've been de-douched.

3774
02:18:16,700 --> 02:18:19,040
And I could use a job promotion karma

3775
02:18:19,040 --> 02:18:22,320
if such a drop drop exists.

3776
02:18:22,700 --> 02:18:23,340
I've got this.

3777
02:18:23,540 --> 02:18:25,240
Jobs jobs jobs.

3778
02:18:25,559 --> 02:18:26,799
Jobs jobs jobs jobs.

3779
02:18:26,799 --> 02:18:27,600
Job jobs.

3780
02:18:27,600 --> 02:18:29,000
You've got karma.

3781
02:18:29,080 --> 02:18:29,580
That may help.

3782
02:18:29,980 --> 02:18:30,700
Let us know.

3783
02:18:30,799 --> 02:18:31,940
Let us know if that helped.

3784
02:18:32,540 --> 02:18:35,219
And there's Eli the Coffee Guy from Bensonville,

3785
02:18:35,340 --> 02:18:35,600
Illinois.

3786
02:18:35,760 --> 02:18:39,520
202.06 Gentlemen, Eli says, last episode you

3787
02:18:39,520 --> 02:18:41,000
said I promote my coffee.

3788
02:18:41,180 --> 02:18:41,620
Wrong!

3789
02:18:42,440 --> 02:18:46,520
I simply suggest people visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and

3790
02:18:46,520 --> 02:18:50,500
use discount code ITM20, but I'm really just

3791
02:18:50,500 --> 02:18:54,020
promoting American entrepreneurship, does it benefit me?

3792
02:18:54,160 --> 02:18:57,440
Sure, I've made friends, met fellow producers, and

3793
02:18:57,440 --> 02:18:59,959
along the way, I may have sold a

3794
02:18:59,959 --> 02:19:00,620
little coffee.

3795
02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:03,440
I'm just happy I can return value and

3796
02:19:03,440 --> 02:19:05,959
support the best podcast in the universe, I

3797
02:19:05,959 --> 02:19:09,180

02:19:09,180 --> 02:19:10,040
the Coffee Guy.

3799
02:19:11,940 --> 02:19:14,180
Who said he promotes his coffee wrong?

3800
02:19:14,660 --> 02:19:15,059
You did.

3801
02:19:15,059 --> 02:19:16,780
Oh no, I know he, oh I said,

3802
02:19:16,920 --> 02:19:18,280
no, the way you read it, it's like,

3803
02:19:18,480 --> 02:19:21,580
no, he said, last episode, you said I

3804
02:19:21,580 --> 02:19:22,440
promote my coffee.

3805
02:19:22,980 --> 02:19:23,299
Wrong.

3806
02:19:24,299 --> 02:19:24,680
Wrong?

3807
02:19:24,840 --> 02:19:25,160
Yeah, wrong.

3808
02:19:25,160 --> 02:19:26,280
I simply said, okay.

3809
02:19:26,440 --> 02:19:27,120
Yeah, wrong.

3810
02:19:27,120 --> 02:19:28,340
I thought it was, Wrong!

3811
02:19:28,459 --> 02:19:28,700
You promoted your coffee wrong.

3812
02:19:28,700 --> 02:19:31,280
No, no, he has wrong in all caps,

3813
02:19:31,400 --> 02:19:32,500
so I had to do it wrong!

3814
02:19:34,969 --> 02:19:37,250
Linda Lou Patkin, guess who is next?

3815
02:19:37,330 --> 02:19:37,910

Our formula is this, we go out, we

3836
02:20:32,150 --> 02:20:33,110
hit people in the mouth.

3837
02:20:35,530 --> 02:20:35,830
Yeah!

3838
02:20:36,430 --> 02:20:36,850
Yeah!

3839
02:20:38,450 --> 02:20:38,850
Yeah!

3840
02:20:40,470 --> 02:20:40,810
Yeah!

3841
02:20:40,950 --> 02:20:42,610
Shut up, slave!

3842
02:20:44,010 --> 02:20:45,530
Shut up, slave!

3843
02:20:46,710 --> 02:20:48,930
Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

3844
02:20:48,930 --> 02:20:50,810
How about a few TikTok clips to round

3845
02:20:50,810 --> 02:20:51,310
things up?

3846
02:20:51,470 --> 02:20:52,310
Ah, why not?

3847
02:20:52,410 --> 02:20:54,590
I mean, it's, everything's been kind of, I

3848
02:20:54,590 --> 02:20:57,670
mean, can TikTok even compete with the funny

3849
02:20:57,670 --> 02:21:00,130
we've been seeing lately?

3850
02:21:00,330 --> 02:21:01,850
No, that's why they only have three.

3851
02:21:01,970 --> 02:21:04,610
Oh, only three, well, okay.

3852
02:21:05,410 --> 02:21:06,070
Let's go.

3853
02:21:06,870 --> 02:21:08,550
Okay, well, first let's start with this is

3854
02:21:08,550 --> 02:21:09,750
a gay guy.

3855
02:21:11,130 --> 02:21:13,070
But this, I'm starting to see a lot

3856
02:21:13,070 --> 02:21:15,530
of these clips where the Democrats, in fact,

3857
02:21:15,630 --> 02:21:19,770
let me preface this one with the, let's

3858
02:21:19,770 --> 02:21:20,710
start with this one instead.

3859
02:21:21,090 --> 02:21:22,170
Then we'll go to the gay guy.

3860
02:21:22,450 --> 02:21:24,450
This is, I'm hearing a lot of these

3861
02:21:24,450 --> 02:21:24,710
clips.

3862
02:21:24,770 --> 02:21:28,790
These are Democrats complaining about Democrats complaining about

3863
02:21:28,790 --> 02:21:30,990
Trump, and this is a typical one.

3864
02:21:31,070 --> 02:21:32,830
This is talk Dem complainer.

3865
02:21:33,070 --> 02:21:34,750
So we're still mad about the grocery prices

3866
02:21:34,750 --> 02:21:36,390
that didn't come down, even though Trump has

3867
02:21:36,390 --> 02:21:37,830
only been in office for a couple weeks.

3868
02:21:38,230 --> 02:21:39,670
And now we're mad that Elon Musk has

3869
02:21:39,670 --> 02:21:40,970
access to the treasury payments.

3870
02:21:41,430 --> 02:21:42,690
But what I want to know is why

3871
02:21:42,690 --> 02:21:43,910
aren't we mad about the fact that we've

3872
02:21:43,910 --> 02:21:45,910
been auto-paying anybody that asks for money,

3873
02:21:45,990 --> 02:21:47,050
even if it's a terrorist group.

3874
02:21:47,530 --> 02:21:48,950
You guys are constantly saying that we're the

3875
02:21:48,950 --> 02:21:50,670
uneducated side, but why aren't you guys questioning

3876
02:21:50,670 --> 02:21:52,650
the fact that the highest ranking treasury official

3877
02:21:52,650 --> 02:21:54,750
would rather resign than agree to an audit?

3878
02:21:55,230 --> 02:21:56,790
We're so uneducated, but why aren't you guys

3879
02:21:56,790 --> 02:21:58,110
putting two and two together about why they

3880
02:21:58,110 --> 02:21:59,570
want to sue for Elon having access to

3881
02:21:59,570 --> 02:22:01,950
the treasury payments while his team, Doge, is

3882
02:22:01,950 --> 02:22:03,630
exposing all the bullshit that our money is

3883
02:22:03,630 --> 02:22:04,250
being spent on?

3884
02:22:04,350 --> 02:22:06,030
You guys are still pushing grocery prices in

3885
02:22:06,030 --> 02:22:07,210
our face, but why aren't you guys upset

3886
02:22:07,210 --> 02:22:09,030
over the $4 million that we spend yearly

3887
02:22:09,030 --> 02:22:11,050
to prove whether duck quacks echo or not?

3888
02:22:11,390 --> 02:22:12,730
Or why aren't you guys upset over the

3889
02:22:12,730 --> 02:22:14,370
fact that we spend $5 million a year

3890
02:22:14,370 --> 02:22:15,730
on sandwich standards?

3891
02:22:16,430 --> 02:22:17,270
I live in New York.

3892
02:22:17,310 --> 02:22:18,190
Do you really think that I want my

3893
02:22:18,190 --> 02:22:20,490
money going towards a fucking pigeon sculpture while

3894
02:22:20,490 --> 02:22:21,450
they're shitting on everything?

3895
02:22:21,770 --> 02:22:23,570
And that's not even scratching the surface of

3896
02:22:23,570 --> 02:22:24,310
where our money is going.

3897
02:22:24,410 --> 02:22:26,170
Apparently, there's 1,200 of these type of

3898
02:22:26,170 --> 02:22:26,570
programs.

3899
02:22:27,090 --> 02:22:28,190
You mean to tell me that our government

3900
02:22:28,190 --> 02:22:29,650
has been spending money on things that have

3901
02:22:29,650 --> 02:22:32,890
long expired, one example being from 1998, and

3902
02:22:32,890 --> 02:22:34,270
you guys are not mad about that?

3903
02:22:34,550 --> 02:22:36,270
You guys are still bitching about grocery prices

3904
02:22:36,270 --> 02:22:38,030
and you're bitching about the fact that Elon

3905
02:22:38,030 --> 02:22:39,910
Musk is about to stop our money from

3906
02:22:39,910 --> 02:22:41,370
being spent on bullshit.

3907
02:22:42,270 --> 02:22:44,210
Bullshit programs that we can now argue is

3908
02:22:44,210 --> 02:22:44,970
money laundering.

3909
02:22:45,270 --> 02:22:47,210
You guys can bitch that I'm spreading conspiracy

3910
02:22:47,210 --> 02:22:48,730
all you want to, but there's no fucking

3911
02:22:48,730 --> 02:22:50,110
way that I'm gonna be okay with the

3912
02:22:50,110 --> 02:22:52,070
fact that there's a cloud-watching program that

3913
02:22:52,070 --> 02:22:53,370
my money goes towards.

3914
02:22:53,430 --> 02:22:53,990
No, hold on.

3915
02:22:54,110 --> 02:22:54,510
Language.

3916
02:22:56,130 --> 02:22:57,730
Oh, I said the language is out of

3917
02:22:57,730 --> 02:22:57,870
control.

3918
02:22:57,890 --> 02:23:00,030
That's an interesting trend you're identifying.

3919
02:23:01,650 --> 02:23:03,810
And this is showing up in your algorithm

3920
02:23:03,810 --> 02:23:05,250
feed, this is in your feed, it just

3921
02:23:05,250 --> 02:23:07,070
pops up, or is people sending these to

3922
02:23:07,070 --> 02:23:07,270
you?

3923
02:23:08,230 --> 02:23:10,810
I have, I dig these up myself.

3924
02:23:11,050 --> 02:23:12,090
I'm not dependent.

3925
02:23:12,210 --> 02:23:14,170
Are you searching for them, or?

3926
02:23:14,890 --> 02:23:16,650
No, they come up in the feed in

3927
02:23:16,650 --> 02:23:17,770
various ways.

3928
02:23:18,050 --> 02:23:20,430
That's an interesting trend.

3929
02:23:20,590 --> 02:23:24,530
Maybe the Chinese are like, no, let's appease

3930
02:23:24,530 --> 02:23:25,110
Trump a little bit.

3931
02:23:25,250 --> 02:23:27,610
More complicated than that, but let's go to

3932
02:23:27,610 --> 02:23:28,130
the next one.

3933
02:23:28,190 --> 02:23:29,450
But by the way, before we go to

3934
02:23:29,450 --> 02:23:31,050
the next one, which is the gay guy.

3935
02:23:31,130 --> 02:23:31,470
Yes.

3936
02:23:32,270 --> 02:23:37,130
You know, Rand Paul, used to, every year,

3937
02:23:37,270 --> 02:23:40,130
come before Congress and read a laundry list

3938
02:23:40,130 --> 02:23:42,570
of all these stupid programs and all the

3939
02:23:42,570 --> 02:23:46,630
same kind of thing that Trump rolled out

3940
02:23:46,630 --> 02:23:49,350
as, not Trump, but Musk, rolled out as

3941
02:23:49,350 --> 02:23:51,430
scams and a joke.

3942
02:23:52,030 --> 02:23:54,210
And Rand Paul's gotten no credit for this.

3943
02:23:55,230 --> 02:23:56,070
No, he was the guy.

3944
02:23:56,070 --> 02:23:56,990
Rand Paul used to do this all the

3945
02:23:56,990 --> 02:23:57,510
time.

3946
02:23:57,650 --> 02:23:59,150
Yep, and his dad before that.

3947
02:23:59,930 --> 02:24:03,110
Yeah, constantly, but meanwhile, now all of a

3948
02:24:03,110 --> 02:24:05,410
sudden, everyone's paying attention.

3949
02:24:06,070 --> 02:24:07,470
I just find it weird.

3950
02:24:07,790 --> 02:24:10,550
In fact, I might call Paul's office and

3951
02:24:10,550 --> 02:24:12,630
find out what's going on, what they think.

3952
02:24:12,790 --> 02:24:14,010
Yeah, record the call.

3953
02:24:14,610 --> 02:24:15,590
I'm not gonna record the call.

3954
02:24:16,110 --> 02:24:19,050
So, now here's, this starts off as some

3955
02:24:19,050 --> 02:24:23,250
woman complaining about something, and the gay guy

3956
02:24:23,250 --> 02:24:24,310
interrupts.

3957
02:24:25,170 --> 02:24:28,470
It's one of those combo clips where somebody's

3958
02:24:28,470 --> 02:24:29,910
bitching about somebody else.

3959
02:24:30,130 --> 02:24:32,670
And the gay guy interrupts, and he is

3960
02:24:32,670 --> 02:24:36,690
another example of what would normally be a

3961
02:24:36,690 --> 02:24:40,270
Democrat bitching about Democrats in a very solid

3962
02:24:40,270 --> 02:24:40,570
way.

3963
02:24:40,730 --> 02:24:41,730
This is a pretty good clip.

3964
02:24:42,310 --> 02:24:44,170
Trump supporters, you do not get to be

3965
02:24:44,170 --> 02:24:46,070
pissed about what is happening right now without

3966
02:24:46,070 --> 02:24:47,010
also admitting.

3967
02:24:47,150 --> 02:24:49,390
Oh, God, oh my God, that's sun.

3968
02:24:49,730 --> 02:24:53,750
I'm convinced these people are literally delusional, and

3969
02:24:53,750 --> 02:24:56,290
they are on heavy drugs.

3970
02:24:57,470 --> 02:24:59,670
I don't know a single Trump supporter that

3971
02:24:59,670 --> 02:25:00,850
has complained about anything.

3972
02:25:00,850 --> 02:25:03,190
This is exactly what we voted for.

3973
02:25:03,470 --> 02:25:06,970
100% exactly what we voted for.

3974
02:25:07,330 --> 02:25:08,390
And guess what, honey?

3975
02:25:08,810 --> 02:25:10,870
As a gay man, I'm glad that we

3976
02:25:10,870 --> 02:25:13,170
no longer have to worry about pronouns anymore,

3977
02:25:13,210 --> 02:25:14,650
because I didn't know what the fuck that

3978
02:25:14,650 --> 02:25:14,950
meant.

3979
02:25:15,230 --> 02:25:18,110
As a gay man, I'm happy that you

3980
02:25:18,110 --> 02:25:20,870
can only be hired based on merit.

3981
02:25:21,330 --> 02:25:24,730
As a child of an immigrant whose parents

3982
02:25:24,730 --> 02:25:28,690
came here legally, I'm happy that people now

3983
02:25:28,690 --> 02:25:31,990
are being sent back that came here illegally.

3984
02:25:32,430 --> 02:25:34,690
So none of us are complaining about anything,

3985
02:25:34,830 --> 02:25:35,030
baby.

3986
02:25:35,630 --> 02:25:38,010
You're sitting there wondering why we aren't?

3987
02:25:38,630 --> 02:25:39,950
We're good over here.

3988
02:25:40,450 --> 02:25:42,710
Trump has unleashed the gays.

3989
02:25:44,730 --> 02:25:46,330
This is- A lot of black guys

3990
02:25:46,330 --> 02:25:46,690
too.

3991
02:25:46,870 --> 02:25:47,770
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

3992
02:25:48,130 --> 02:25:52,210
Yeah, you know, because Americans ultimately are not

3993
02:25:52,210 --> 02:25:52,550
stupid.

3994
02:25:53,250 --> 02:25:55,690
We may be slow, but we're not stupid.

3995
02:25:57,230 --> 02:26:00,650
Well, some are, and my last clip will

3996
02:26:00,650 --> 02:26:02,410
be- And here's an example of one.

3997
02:26:02,430 --> 02:26:04,210
So we'll go back to the haters, because

3998
02:26:04,210 --> 02:26:05,790
they're still hanging in there.

3999
02:26:06,150 --> 02:26:09,970
Not as many as there were, but this

4000
02:26:09,970 --> 02:26:11,470
is a, well, you have to visualize this

4001
02:26:11,470 --> 02:26:11,690
woman.

4002
02:26:11,850 --> 02:26:13,830
She is, I don't know, she's addicted to

4003
02:26:13,830 --> 02:26:14,490
red makeup.

4004
02:26:14,690 --> 02:26:16,710
Everything, she's got the red lips, she's got

4005
02:26:16,710 --> 02:26:21,390
the red eyeliner, she's got red eyeshadow and

4006
02:26:21,390 --> 02:26:23,150
red rouge, I mean, she's just red.

4007
02:26:23,770 --> 02:26:24,850
It's like, you know, if she had put

4008
02:26:24,850 --> 02:26:26,350
any more red on, she'd put a couple

4009
02:26:26,350 --> 02:26:29,330
of horns would do the trick, but here's

4010
02:26:29,330 --> 02:26:33,150
the classic, in the old sense, I just,

4011
02:26:33,510 --> 02:26:34,470
so we know that- No, this is

4012
02:26:34,470 --> 02:26:35,370
a throwback.

4013
02:26:35,490 --> 02:26:36,530
This is a golden oldie.

4014
02:26:37,070 --> 02:26:39,170
It's not an oldie, it's new, but it's

4015
02:26:39,170 --> 02:26:40,490
old style.

4016
02:26:40,630 --> 02:26:41,070
It's old style.

4017
02:26:41,230 --> 02:26:44,630
Every red voter allows themselves to be ignorant

4018
02:26:44,630 --> 02:26:53,650
enough to stay guilt-free about what they

4019
02:26:53,650 --> 02:26:54,270
voted for.

4020
02:26:54,470 --> 02:26:56,070
They don't want to look at the news.

4021
02:26:56,550 --> 02:26:58,030
They don't want to pay attention to what's

4022
02:26:58,030 --> 02:26:58,410
going on.

4023
02:26:58,430 --> 02:27:00,330
They don't want to make statements or comments.

4024
02:27:00,670 --> 02:27:02,590
They don't want to denounce anything either.

4025
02:27:02,710 --> 02:27:04,510
It's funny, everyone's so quiet.

4026
02:27:04,850 --> 02:27:06,430
I used to think there was a difference

4027
02:27:06,430 --> 02:27:11,470
between Republicans, Trump supporters and Nazis.

4028
02:27:12,830 --> 02:27:14,790
It's not really looking that way anymore.

4029
02:27:15,030 --> 02:27:20,210
When your party is being overrun and affiliating

4030
02:27:20,210 --> 02:27:26,790
with Elon and no one, you're not saying

4031
02:27:26,790 --> 02:27:27,250
anything.

4032
02:27:27,810 --> 02:27:30,310
You're not hopping online saying, hey, wait a

4033
02:27:30,310 --> 02:27:31,530
minute, this isn't what I voted for.

4034
02:27:31,590 --> 02:27:32,370
This isn't what I wanted.

4035
02:27:32,570 --> 02:27:33,650
You're all so quiet.

4036
02:27:34,610 --> 02:27:35,750
It says a lot.

4037
02:27:36,470 --> 02:27:39,510
I think that you need to stay on

4038
02:27:39,510 --> 02:27:42,630
the trend of the unleashed gay guys and

4039
02:27:42,630 --> 02:27:47,830
Dem complaining about Trump.

4040
02:27:48,050 --> 02:27:49,210
I think that's better.

4041
02:27:49,210 --> 02:27:50,790
That should be the new beat.

4042
02:27:51,610 --> 02:27:52,590
That may be hard to get.

4043
02:27:52,910 --> 02:27:54,110
These things happen.

4044
02:27:54,650 --> 02:27:56,950
It's just, I'm just a vessel.

4045
02:28:01,390 --> 02:28:03,390
A conduit, as it were.

4046
02:28:03,630 --> 02:28:04,610
Yes, I understand.

4047
02:28:04,930 --> 02:28:05,590
It's divine.

4048
02:28:05,810 --> 02:28:06,570
Yes, I understand.

4049
02:28:07,890 --> 02:28:11,910
Here is a potential customer for the fabulous

4050
02:28:11,910 --> 02:28:15,690
book, Too Many Eggs, available at TooManyEggs.com.

4051
02:28:15,690 --> 02:28:18,990
Storing egg prices might be prompting extreme illegal

4052
02:28:18,990 --> 02:28:19,530
activity.

4053
02:28:19,830 --> 02:28:23,330
Pennsylvania State Police are investigating after 100,000

4054
02:28:23,330 --> 02:28:26,350
organic eggs were stolen over the weekend.

4055
02:28:26,930 --> 02:28:29,750
Police say it happened Saturday night in Greencastle,

4056
02:28:29,890 --> 02:28:30,370
Pennsylvania.

4057
02:28:30,810 --> 02:28:33,890
It's about 65 miles southwest of Harrisburg, where

4058
02:28:33,890 --> 02:28:36,590
a distribution trailer was parked outside of a

4059
02:28:36,590 --> 02:28:37,330
poultry company.

4060
02:28:37,850 --> 02:28:40,930
Investigators say the stolen egg shipment is worth

4061
02:28:40,930 --> 02:28:43,050
upwards of $40,000.

4062
02:28:43,730 --> 02:28:44,990
That's a lot of eggs.

4063
02:28:45,450 --> 02:28:46,290
$40,000.

4064
02:28:46,730 --> 02:28:49,210
I think $50,000, eggs are going for

4065
02:28:49,210 --> 02:28:50,310
a buck around here.

4066
02:28:50,430 --> 02:28:51,870
They're stealing the eggs!

4067
02:28:52,590 --> 02:28:53,910
They're stealing the eggs.

4068
02:28:54,070 --> 02:28:54,910
They're stealing the eggs.

4069
02:28:55,470 --> 02:28:57,530
So I had one of our producers about

4070
02:28:57,530 --> 02:28:59,630
a month ago saying, there's no eggs anymore.

4071
02:28:59,710 --> 02:29:00,390
He went on and on.

4072
02:29:00,530 --> 02:29:02,150
I said, there's eggs all over the place,

4073
02:29:02,190 --> 02:29:02,650
I said.

4074
02:29:02,970 --> 02:29:04,090
And they were at Costco.

4075
02:29:04,250 --> 02:29:07,790
But I've noticed he's, maybe we're the last

4076
02:29:07,790 --> 02:29:09,930
on the block here or the end of

4077
02:29:09,930 --> 02:29:10,870
the line in California.

4078
02:29:11,190 --> 02:29:13,390
But Costco, no eggs.

4079
02:29:13,530 --> 02:29:13,830
No.

4080
02:29:15,150 --> 02:29:16,990
The eggs that I have seen are a

4081
02:29:16,990 --> 02:29:18,130
dollar a pop.

4082
02:29:18,250 --> 02:29:18,690
Wow.

4083
02:29:19,090 --> 02:29:21,350
A dollar an egg?

4084
02:29:21,910 --> 02:29:22,850
Yeah, pretty much.

4085
02:29:23,030 --> 02:29:25,450
Well, this is the stupid bird flu that,

4086
02:29:25,730 --> 02:29:25,950
you know.

4087
02:29:25,990 --> 02:29:27,050
That's exactly right.

4088
02:29:27,210 --> 02:29:28,470
Yeah, that's exactly right.

4089
02:29:28,470 --> 02:29:31,050
They called all these chickens and they jacked

4090
02:29:31,050 --> 02:29:32,530
the price of eggs way up for no

4091
02:29:32,530 --> 02:29:33,010
good reason.

4092
02:29:33,610 --> 02:29:36,510
Luckily, and fortunately, because we had inclement weather,

4093
02:29:37,010 --> 02:29:39,630
so the eggs stopped laying up at Jay's

4094
02:29:39,630 --> 02:29:40,150
place.

4095
02:29:40,370 --> 02:29:41,870
Oh, yeah, they don't like it.

4096
02:29:41,990 --> 02:29:43,430
They're like, nope, we're on strike.

4097
02:29:43,610 --> 02:29:44,150
We're on strike.

4098
02:29:44,150 --> 02:29:45,510
The chickens stopped laying.

4099
02:29:45,670 --> 02:29:46,190
I said, what?

4100
02:29:46,790 --> 02:29:49,770
And so, I'm not getting the free eggs.

4101
02:29:50,650 --> 02:29:53,310
But I hope that cranks back up next

4102
02:29:53,310 --> 02:29:53,470
week.

4103
02:29:53,510 --> 02:29:54,950
And you have to be careful because, you

4104
02:29:54,950 --> 02:29:56,450
know, the chickens will start brooding.

4105
02:29:56,750 --> 02:29:58,630
And then if one broods, they'll all brood.

4106
02:29:58,710 --> 02:30:01,050
You have to like separate the brooder.

4107
02:30:01,790 --> 02:30:03,810
Chickens is more complicated than people.

4108
02:30:04,030 --> 02:30:05,590
Now, you don't just throw some chickens in

4109
02:30:05,590 --> 02:30:06,070
the backyard.

4110
02:30:06,230 --> 02:30:06,990
Like, I got eggs.

4111
02:30:07,070 --> 02:30:08,250
No, that's a lot of work.

4112
02:30:08,930 --> 02:30:10,690
And that's what I keep telling Tina, who's

4113
02:30:10,690 --> 02:30:11,870
like, I want chickens.

4114
02:30:12,210 --> 02:30:12,690
No, you don't.

4115
02:30:12,690 --> 02:30:13,230
Oh, I see what you're doing.

4116
02:30:13,230 --> 02:30:15,730
You're doing your research to prevent Tina from

4117
02:30:15,730 --> 02:30:16,410
getting chickens.

4118
02:30:16,610 --> 02:30:17,650
Yes, I do not want.

4119
02:30:17,710 --> 02:30:18,830
That's the last thing I need.

4120
02:30:18,910 --> 02:30:20,930
Because, you know, when some weasel gets in

4121
02:30:20,930 --> 02:30:23,870
and there's slaughtered chicken all over the, yeah,

4122
02:30:23,950 --> 02:30:25,150
I'm gonna have to go clean it up.

4123
02:30:25,330 --> 02:30:25,950
No, I'm not looking.

4124
02:30:26,230 --> 02:30:28,750
Yeah, you've got, you're right.

4125
02:30:28,910 --> 02:30:31,510
But I think you should still have chickens.

4126
02:30:31,610 --> 02:30:32,390
I don't think so.

4127
02:30:32,390 --> 02:30:34,170
Now, we have friends who have chickens, which

4128
02:30:34,170 --> 02:30:35,590
is like having a friend with a boat.

4129
02:30:35,590 --> 02:30:36,430
Oh, if you have friends who have chickens,

4130
02:30:36,490 --> 02:30:37,970
you don't need chickens, and you can just

4131
02:30:37,970 --> 02:30:39,090
get all the free eggs you want.

4132
02:30:39,210 --> 02:30:39,710
That's what I'm saying.

4133
02:30:40,250 --> 02:30:41,430
Oh, yeah, definitely.

4134
02:30:41,830 --> 02:30:42,130
I have some.

4135
02:30:42,130 --> 02:30:42,910
I agree with you now.

4136
02:30:42,910 --> 02:30:45,110
I have some big pharma news.

4137
02:30:45,270 --> 02:30:46,270
It is baffling.

4138
02:30:46,550 --> 02:30:48,930
Now, remember, the Surgeon General came out and

4139
02:30:48,930 --> 02:30:51,230
said, oh, you know, you're drinking too much

4140
02:30:51,230 --> 02:30:51,750
booze.

4141
02:30:51,810 --> 02:30:53,150
The booze is gonna give you cancer.

4142
02:30:53,510 --> 02:30:54,090
Gonna kill ya.

4143
02:30:54,110 --> 02:30:54,830
Gonna kill ya.

4144
02:30:54,930 --> 02:30:57,450
But it's like, they're baffled now because it's

4145
02:30:57,450 --> 02:30:59,490
not coming from the booze.

4146
02:30:59,810 --> 02:31:02,830
They don't know how, where is the colon

4147
02:31:02,830 --> 02:31:03,850
cancer coming from?

4148
02:31:03,950 --> 02:31:05,630
It was two years ago when, out of

4149
02:31:05,630 --> 02:31:07,910
the blue, this 39-year-old was diagnosed

4150
02:31:07,910 --> 02:31:09,050
with colon cancer.

4151
02:31:09,430 --> 02:31:10,450
It was a surprise.

4152
02:31:10,750 --> 02:31:12,070
It doesn't run in my family.

4153
02:31:12,070 --> 02:31:13,550
I was in good health.

4154
02:31:14,190 --> 02:31:16,910
Today, Emily Thirion is in remission, but like

4155
02:31:16,910 --> 02:31:19,030
her, more and more young people are being

4156
02:31:19,030 --> 02:31:23,850
diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer, including colon, pancreatic, and

4157
02:31:23,850 --> 02:31:24,650
liver cancer.

4158
02:31:25,710 --> 02:31:28,110
Gastrointestinal cancer rates have been on the rise

4159
02:31:28,110 --> 02:31:31,030
in patients under 50, and the causes remain

4160
02:31:31,030 --> 02:31:31,530
unclear.

4161
02:31:32,550 --> 02:31:34,730
In the past, the increase was attributed to

4162
02:31:34,730 --> 02:31:37,070
obesity, tobacco, and alcohol intake.

4163
02:31:37,450 --> 02:31:39,710
However, new tests are being conducted to find

4164
02:31:39,710 --> 02:31:41,210
out what could be behind the recent rise.

4165
02:31:41,210 --> 02:31:41,950
What could it be?

4166
02:31:42,170 --> 02:31:44,830
Experiments are underway using hair, fat, and blood

4167
02:31:44,830 --> 02:31:47,910
samples collected from 300 colon cancer patients.

4168
02:31:49,050 --> 02:31:52,470
We're looking for toxins in foods, everything that

4169
02:31:52,470 --> 02:31:54,210
may have contaminated it, like packaging.

4170
02:31:55,170 --> 02:31:57,550
We also check for traces of antibiotics.

4171
02:31:59,950 --> 02:32:03,070
Gastrointestinal cancers account for a quarter of all

4172
02:32:03,070 --> 02:32:06,010
new cancer cases and a third of cancer

4173
02:32:06,010 --> 02:32:07,230
deaths worldwide.

4174
02:32:07,390 --> 02:32:08,790
What could have changed?

4175
02:32:09,190 --> 02:32:09,850
What happened?

4176
02:32:09,850 --> 02:32:12,530
What changed over the last, say, four or

4177
02:32:12,530 --> 02:32:14,210
five years that would account for this?

4178
02:32:14,270 --> 02:32:15,470
Something happened, but we can't.

4179
02:32:15,570 --> 02:32:18,010
By the way, I love the microplastics now.

4180
02:32:18,130 --> 02:32:22,070
It's like, you have the equivalent of six

4181
02:32:22,070 --> 02:32:23,950
plastic spoons in your brain.

4182
02:32:23,950 --> 02:32:26,090
I have more microplastics in me than I

4183
02:32:26,090 --> 02:32:26,530
weigh.

4184
02:32:28,690 --> 02:32:30,850
I love the, oh, it's microplastics.

4185
02:32:30,970 --> 02:32:31,830
That's what's killing you.

4186
02:32:31,930 --> 02:32:32,270
Really?

4187
02:32:33,090 --> 02:32:33,390
Really?

4188
02:32:33,530 --> 02:32:35,030
At the Sovereign Wealth Fund, don't worry.

4189
02:32:35,070 --> 02:32:36,430
They're going to have two billion of these

4190
02:32:36,430 --> 02:32:39,130
microplastic causes.

4191
02:32:41,010 --> 02:32:42,250
What else could it be?

4192
02:32:42,510 --> 02:32:43,270
I have no idea.

4193
02:32:43,270 --> 02:32:44,730
I have no idea what it could be.

4194
02:32:45,310 --> 02:32:45,410
Interesting.

4195
02:32:46,730 --> 02:32:49,250
Well, that's what, hopefully, that's what we'll find

4196
02:32:49,250 --> 02:32:51,110
out if Kennedy gets in, but they put

4197
02:32:51,110 --> 02:32:53,490
his voting off for a week.

4198
02:32:53,610 --> 02:32:54,270
Oh, in advance?

4199
02:32:55,470 --> 02:32:57,130
Yeah, they put it in advance, but here's

4200
02:32:57,130 --> 02:32:58,990
something I was reading in one of the

4201
02:32:58,990 --> 02:32:59,910
newsletters I get.

4202
02:32:59,910 --> 02:33:00,870
Mm-hmm.

4203
02:33:02,990 --> 02:33:05,670
It's 30-hour stalling.

4204
02:33:05,990 --> 02:33:07,770
Who's the guy they've been stalling on the

4205
02:33:07,770 --> 02:33:10,970
most to push through as a cabinet member?

4206
02:33:11,410 --> 02:33:14,130
Can you, I mean, tell me, I'm going

4207
02:33:14,130 --> 02:33:15,810
to tell you who it is, but tell

4208
02:33:15,810 --> 02:33:18,190
me if the news medias even discuss this

4209
02:33:18,190 --> 02:33:18,570
guy.

4210
02:33:19,650 --> 02:33:20,930
Who they've stalled the most?

4211
02:33:21,370 --> 02:33:21,650
Yeah.

4212
02:33:24,650 --> 02:33:25,550
I don't know.

4213
02:33:25,670 --> 02:33:25,830
Who?

4214
02:33:25,970 --> 02:33:26,550
Who have they stalled the most?

4215
02:33:26,690 --> 02:33:27,830
Russell Vaught.

4216
02:33:28,770 --> 02:33:30,050
Well, no wonder.

4217
02:33:30,330 --> 02:33:32,690
I'd never- As director of office management

4218
02:33:32,690 --> 02:33:33,950
and budget, OMB.

4219
02:33:34,050 --> 02:33:36,070
Oh, yeah, they don't want anyone going in

4220
02:33:36,070 --> 02:33:37,990
there and looking at payroll.

4221
02:33:38,210 --> 02:33:40,750
So the Democrats have stayed in session to

4222
02:33:40,750 --> 02:33:43,330
protest the confirmation of Russell Vaught.

4223
02:33:43,550 --> 02:33:46,710
This is from Natalie Del Conte, Natalie Morris's

4224
02:33:46,710 --> 02:33:47,110
newsletter.

4225
02:33:47,270 --> 02:33:48,110
Oh, brother.

4226
02:33:48,970 --> 02:33:50,450
She's got a good newsletter.

4227
02:33:50,590 --> 02:33:52,230
I don't like the show, but the newsletter's

4228
02:33:52,230 --> 02:33:52,630
good.

4229
02:33:53,410 --> 02:33:56,430
And became the, he was associated with Project

4230
02:33:56,430 --> 02:33:58,210
2025, so they hate him.

4231
02:33:58,310 --> 02:33:58,450
Oh.

4232
02:33:59,150 --> 02:34:00,930
He wrote the parts of the plan that

4233
02:34:00,930 --> 02:34:02,930
had to do with shrinking the federal government

4234
02:34:02,930 --> 02:34:03,490
workforce.

4235
02:34:03,710 --> 02:34:05,990
Non-government organizations had taken control of the

4236
02:34:05,990 --> 02:34:06,310
budget.

4237
02:34:06,750 --> 02:34:10,070
There may be something interesting in that organization

4238
02:34:10,070 --> 02:34:12,350
that they don't want to come to light.

4239
02:34:12,690 --> 02:34:13,770
You know what this is, John?

4240
02:34:15,270 --> 02:34:16,330
Season of reveal.

4241
02:34:16,470 --> 02:34:17,490
That's what I've been saying.

4242
02:34:17,790 --> 02:34:18,950
Season of reveal.

4243
02:34:20,530 --> 02:34:21,910
I'm glad you're on board with me.

4244
02:34:22,190 --> 02:34:24,830
President Trump also signed an executive order with

4245
02:34:24,830 --> 02:34:25,770
great trepidation.

4246
02:34:25,870 --> 02:34:27,350
He says he really didn't want to sign

4247
02:34:27,350 --> 02:34:29,610
it, but I got to sign this thing

4248
02:34:29,610 --> 02:34:30,190
for Iran.

4249
02:34:30,330 --> 02:34:31,750
I hope we don't, I hope we don't

4250
02:34:31,750 --> 02:34:32,590
have to use it.

4251
02:34:32,670 --> 02:34:34,470
I really don't like signing this, but I'm

4252
02:34:34,470 --> 02:34:35,610
going to sign it because I have to,

4253
02:34:35,670 --> 02:34:36,630
but I don't really want to.

4254
02:34:36,690 --> 02:34:37,310
I'm really sad.

4255
02:34:37,450 --> 02:34:41,830
And Peter Doocy asks the pre-setup question,

4256
02:34:41,990 --> 02:34:42,530
I presume.

4257
02:34:42,690 --> 02:34:44,890
Why is Iran happy to sign it if

4258
02:34:44,890 --> 02:34:48,230
it's Iran and their proxies who have threatened

4259
02:34:48,230 --> 02:34:51,570
to retaliate against you and your team, like

4260
02:34:51,570 --> 02:34:54,130
you guys, for taking out Soleimani?

4261
02:34:54,690 --> 02:34:59,170
Well, they haven't done that, and that would

4262
02:34:59,170 --> 02:35:00,810
be a terrible thing for them to do.

4263
02:35:01,050 --> 02:35:02,870
It would be terrible for them to kill

4264
02:35:02,870 --> 02:35:03,330
you, yes.

4265
02:35:03,350 --> 02:35:03,930
Because of me.

4266
02:35:04,190 --> 02:35:06,830
If they did that, they would be obliterated.

4267
02:35:07,650 --> 02:35:08,210
That would be the end.

4268
02:35:08,230 --> 02:35:09,230
I've left instructions.

4269
02:35:10,110 --> 02:35:12,350
If they do it, they get obliterated.

4270
02:35:12,710 --> 02:35:15,890
There won't be anything left, and they shouldn't

4271
02:35:15,890 --> 02:35:16,610
be able to do it.

4272
02:35:16,670 --> 02:35:18,170
And Biden should have said that, but he

4273
02:35:18,170 --> 02:35:18,690
never did.

4274
02:35:18,810 --> 02:35:20,970
I don't know why, lack of intelligence, perhaps.

4275
02:35:21,350 --> 02:35:22,630
But he never said it.

4276
02:35:23,810 --> 02:35:27,790
If that happens to a leader, or close

4277
02:35:27,790 --> 02:35:30,070
to a leader, frankly, if you had other

4278
02:35:30,070 --> 02:35:33,910
people involved also, you would call for total

4279
02:35:33,910 --> 02:35:35,830
obliteration of a state that did it.

4280
02:35:35,890 --> 02:35:36,750
That would include Iran.

4281
02:35:37,330 --> 02:35:39,430
So I'm signing this, and it's a very

4282
02:35:39,430 --> 02:35:41,550
powerful document, but hopefully we're not gonna have

4283
02:35:41,550 --> 02:35:42,670
to use it.

4284
02:35:42,730 --> 02:35:45,170
Now, can a president leave a dead man

4285
02:35:45,170 --> 02:35:45,570
switch?

4286
02:35:45,770 --> 02:35:46,890
I mean, is that possible?

4287
02:35:47,050 --> 02:35:48,450
That, you know, I've left instructions.

4288
02:35:48,670 --> 02:35:50,970
If they kill me, then you drop the

4289
02:35:50,970 --> 02:35:51,730
nuke on Iran.

4290
02:35:51,730 --> 02:35:53,010
Is that even possible?

4291
02:35:54,210 --> 02:35:54,810
No.

4292
02:35:55,290 --> 02:35:56,310
I didn't think so.

4293
02:35:57,770 --> 02:36:00,690
But I thought it was interesting.

4294
02:36:01,270 --> 02:36:02,770
Is that another blurt?

4295
02:36:04,090 --> 02:36:05,770
No, this was thought out.

4296
02:36:08,700 --> 02:36:12,880
We have some interesting news from California.

4297
02:36:14,000 --> 02:36:16,900
I don't know if you have kept up

4298
02:36:16,900 --> 02:36:17,220
with this.

4299
02:36:17,280 --> 02:36:21,740
This is another thing that we've kept up

4300
02:36:21,740 --> 02:36:24,000
with over the years on the No Agenda

4301
02:36:24,000 --> 02:36:24,400
Show.

4302
02:36:24,640 --> 02:36:27,740
New information on California's high-speed rail project

4303
02:36:27,740 --> 02:36:30,640
as President Donald Trump calls for an investigation.

4304
02:36:30,860 --> 02:36:32,840
The original plan for high-speed rail was

4305
02:36:32,840 --> 02:36:35,260
set to take riders from Los Angeles to

4306
02:36:35,260 --> 02:36:36,000
San Francisco.

4307
02:36:36,300 --> 02:36:39,340
Future plans include connecting Sacramento to the system.

4308
02:36:39,600 --> 02:36:43,120
The original cost estimate was $45 billion when

4309
02:36:43,120 --> 02:36:45,280
it was pitched to voters back in 2008.

4310
02:36:45,580 --> 02:36:49,120
The cost estimate has now swelled to 128

4311
02:36:49,120 --> 02:36:52,720
billion at last check with no estimated completion

4312
02:36:52,720 --> 02:36:53,100
date.

4313
02:36:53,460 --> 02:36:56,180
The project's inspector general told us today that

4314
02:36:56,180 --> 02:36:59,620
ongoing risks of delay, including construction delays, because

4315
02:36:59,620 --> 02:37:02,980
of continued disagreement with third parties.

4316
02:37:03,080 --> 02:37:04,000
All aboard.

4317
02:37:04,160 --> 02:37:06,760
Train's good, plane's bad.

4318
02:37:07,400 --> 02:37:07,740
Woo-hoo!

4319
02:37:08,300 --> 02:37:10,400
We just keep to get using these jingles.

4320
02:37:10,480 --> 02:37:11,240
It's fantastic.

4321
02:37:11,940 --> 02:37:14,120
That's been going on for what, 10, 12,

4322
02:37:14,340 --> 02:37:15,540
14 years now?

4323
02:37:16,000 --> 02:37:17,800
It's been forever, it seems.

4324
02:37:17,800 --> 02:37:19,800
I got displaced from my home in San

4325
02:37:19,800 --> 02:37:20,700
Francisco for it.

4326
02:37:20,780 --> 02:37:21,440
Remember that?

4327
02:37:22,240 --> 02:37:22,880
For the station.

4328
02:37:22,900 --> 02:37:24,800
That's right, well, you got, yeah, because they

4329
02:37:24,800 --> 02:37:26,540
were gonna build the, that's right.

4330
02:37:27,140 --> 02:37:27,660
Eminent domain.

4331
02:37:27,680 --> 02:37:29,080
Might still be in San Francisco.

4332
02:37:29,280 --> 02:37:30,860
I don't think so, but yeah.

4333
02:37:31,660 --> 02:37:32,460
Well, maybe.

4334
02:37:32,460 --> 02:37:34,160
No, I don't think so, maybe, maybe not.

4335
02:37:35,220 --> 02:37:37,500
Yes, you were displaced because they were building

4336
02:37:37,500 --> 02:37:40,460
the, they build a new Transbay Terminal.

4337
02:37:40,780 --> 02:37:43,080
Eminent domain, I was kicked out of Eminent

4338
02:37:43,080 --> 02:37:43,180
Domain.

4339
02:37:43,180 --> 02:37:45,400
And they're gonna build a new Transbay Terminal,

4340
02:37:45,540 --> 02:37:47,520
and in that terminal, we're going to be

4341
02:37:47,520 --> 02:37:49,960
the high-speed rail trains underneath the thing.

4342
02:37:50,900 --> 02:37:52,500
And of course, they built a new Transbay

4343
02:37:52,500 --> 02:37:52,940
Terminal.

4344
02:37:53,040 --> 02:37:54,880
They never put the rail into the bottom

4345
02:37:54,880 --> 02:37:55,280
of it.

4346
02:37:55,620 --> 02:37:55,720
Nope.

4347
02:37:55,800 --> 02:37:58,420
And it's just a fiasco, another boondoggle.

4348
02:37:58,540 --> 02:37:58,860
Yes.

4349
02:37:59,000 --> 02:38:00,620
And yeah, and they took out a bunch

4350
02:38:00,620 --> 02:38:02,660
of, a nice bar around where you were,

4351
02:38:02,740 --> 02:38:05,020
and your building was pretty cool, and yeah.

4352
02:38:06,280 --> 02:38:08,520
Natoma Street doesn't even exist anymore.

4353
02:38:10,100 --> 02:38:12,620
Staying in California, Newsom's Inferno.

4354
02:38:12,900 --> 02:38:14,900
Looks like State Farm is on the move.

4355
02:38:14,900 --> 02:38:17,740
State Farm Insurance is asking California lawmakers to

4356
02:38:17,740 --> 02:38:19,780
approve an emergency rate hike.

4357
02:38:19,940 --> 02:38:22,880
The company says it has already received around

4358
02:38:22,880 --> 02:38:26,120
8,700 claims connected to the LA wildfires,

4359
02:38:26,320 --> 02:38:28,040
and the company has paid out more than

4360
02:38:28,040 --> 02:38:29,080
a billion dollars.

4361
02:38:29,260 --> 02:38:31,760
They're asking for a 22% rate hike

4362
02:38:31,760 --> 02:38:36,260
for homeowner policies, a 38% hike for

4363
02:38:36,260 --> 02:38:39,360
rentals, and 15% increase for tenants.

4364
02:38:39,840 --> 02:38:41,980
The rate hikes, if approved, would start on

4365
02:38:41,980 --> 02:38:42,660
May 1st.

4366
02:38:42,660 --> 02:38:45,380
State Farm says the hikes would allow them

4367
02:38:45,380 --> 02:38:48,780
to rebuild their capital base to continue coverage

4368
02:38:48,780 --> 02:38:49,540
in California.

4369
02:38:49,780 --> 02:38:52,240
Consumer Watchdog has been critical of the request,

4370
02:38:52,640 --> 02:38:54,880
saying State Farm has not provided enough proof

4371
02:38:54,880 --> 02:38:56,320
to show it needs money.

4372
02:38:56,720 --> 02:38:59,060
The insurance company most recently raised rates by

4373
02:38:59,060 --> 02:39:00,960
20% last March.

4374
02:39:01,380 --> 02:39:04,520
State Farm is California's largest home insurer, covering

4375
02:39:04,520 --> 02:39:06,780
about a million homeowners in the state.

4376
02:39:07,100 --> 02:39:08,740
Now, will you be affected by this?

4377
02:39:11,110 --> 02:39:13,350
I think we've already been affected by it.

4378
02:39:13,350 --> 02:39:14,410
Oh, you raised them already on it?

4379
02:39:14,410 --> 02:39:17,350
We do have State Farm, and they were

4380
02:39:17,350 --> 02:39:18,450
canceling a lot of policies.

4381
02:39:18,550 --> 02:39:19,570
They never canceled ours.

4382
02:39:19,730 --> 02:39:21,650
Mimi has found out why.

4383
02:39:21,970 --> 02:39:22,670
You're on a hill.

4384
02:39:23,030 --> 02:39:23,670
You're on a hill.

4385
02:39:23,810 --> 02:39:24,750
You got nothing to worry about.

4386
02:39:24,770 --> 02:39:26,830
Well, besides a hill, but no, it's because

4387
02:39:26,830 --> 02:39:30,290
we took, I guess there was some sort

4388
02:39:30,290 --> 02:39:33,330
of a rider or something that if you

4389
02:39:33,330 --> 02:39:35,670
were subscribed to it, which was recommended, then

4390
02:39:35,670 --> 02:39:38,050
you were put in a different category and

4391
02:39:38,050 --> 02:39:39,670
you weren't messed with.

4392
02:39:39,790 --> 02:39:41,410
Pays to have a good woman in your

4393
02:39:41,410 --> 02:39:41,730
life.

4394
02:39:41,730 --> 02:39:44,190
Yeah, women always do the job.

4395
02:39:44,410 --> 02:39:44,510
Yeah.

4396
02:39:44,770 --> 02:39:49,170
And so somehow- Women always do the

4397
02:39:49,170 --> 02:39:49,770
job, yeah.

4398
02:39:49,990 --> 02:39:50,390
They do.

4399
02:39:50,590 --> 02:39:54,870
And so somehow, I don't know.

4400
02:39:55,010 --> 02:39:56,430
Yeah, you lucked out.

4401
02:39:57,110 --> 02:39:58,750
Well, the whole thing is a mess.

4402
02:39:58,910 --> 02:40:01,430
Well, there was on KBUR, which is that

4403
02:40:01,430 --> 02:40:03,210
an NPR station, I think, KBUR?

4404
02:40:03,790 --> 02:40:03,890
Is that Burbank?

4405
02:40:03,890 --> 02:40:04,550
Not around here.

4406
02:40:04,890 --> 02:40:05,850
No, I think it's Burbank.

4407
02:40:06,070 --> 02:40:06,930
Oh, Burbank, it could be.

4408
02:40:06,930 --> 02:40:13,790
Yeah, they were talking to some guy, it

4409
02:40:13,790 --> 02:40:17,430
was a climate change guy probably, about rebuilding

4410
02:40:17,430 --> 02:40:20,110
and how are we going to rebuild?

4411
02:40:20,310 --> 02:40:22,730
State Farm says it will renew policies for

4412
02:40:22,730 --> 02:40:23,750
people hit by the fires.

4413
02:40:23,870 --> 02:40:27,290
The governor says insurance companies cannot cancel plans

4414
02:40:27,290 --> 02:40:29,650
for these affected homeowners.

4415
02:40:31,250 --> 02:40:32,710
You understand risk.

4416
02:40:33,150 --> 02:40:35,390
You also understand why people are sentimental.

4417
02:40:36,090 --> 02:40:38,430
Is this a good idea to rebuild in

4418
02:40:38,430 --> 02:40:39,690
exactly the same places?

4419
02:40:41,070 --> 02:40:43,070
Well, people do have the right to rebuild

4420
02:40:43,070 --> 02:40:44,490
in exactly the same places.

4421
02:40:44,610 --> 02:40:46,690
The question is, how are they going to

4422
02:40:46,690 --> 02:40:47,090
rebuild?

4423
02:40:47,850 --> 02:40:50,430
There's a new building code in California that's

4424
02:40:50,430 --> 02:40:52,090
supposed to go into effect next year, for

4425
02:40:52,090 --> 02:40:53,930
example, that requires electrification.

4426
02:40:54,430 --> 02:40:57,730
I think we should take advantage of this

4427
02:40:57,730 --> 02:41:01,350
terrible, terrible tragedy and not to minimize in

4428
02:41:01,350 --> 02:41:03,990
any way how horrific it is to build

4429
02:41:03,990 --> 02:41:04,650
back better.

4430
02:41:05,130 --> 02:41:09,070
For a better life, beyond your freedom, build

4431
02:41:09,070 --> 02:41:13,810
back better in California, for someone else.

4432
02:41:13,810 --> 02:41:14,930
Yeah, build back better.

4433
02:41:15,010 --> 02:41:17,270
People are getting ripped off by the electrical

4434
02:41:17,270 --> 02:41:18,490
bills in this state.

4435
02:41:19,470 --> 02:41:22,390
Gas is a lot cheaper, so let's get

4436
02:41:22,390 --> 02:41:22,910
rid of it.

4437
02:41:24,830 --> 02:41:27,530
What a mess, what a mess, what a

4438
02:41:27,530 --> 02:41:27,750
mess.

4439
02:41:28,750 --> 02:41:29,970
I'm sorry you live out there.

4440
02:41:30,110 --> 02:41:31,810
I'm sorry, it's just tough.

4441
02:41:33,090 --> 02:41:34,290
It's a tough go.

4442
02:41:34,750 --> 02:41:36,190
Feel sorry for me, people.

4443
02:41:36,410 --> 02:41:39,330
Donate to the No Agenda show, help John.

4444
02:41:39,550 --> 02:41:40,790
Yeah, we feel so bad for you.

4445
02:41:40,910 --> 02:41:42,250
Now, we'll help you move.

4446
02:41:42,550 --> 02:41:43,530
We'll show up with you halls.

4447
02:41:43,530 --> 02:41:44,850
I'm not moving anywhere, forget it.

4448
02:41:44,870 --> 02:41:46,710
I know, I know, it'd be bad for

4449
02:41:46,710 --> 02:41:46,950
the show.

4450
02:41:46,950 --> 02:41:47,370
Where am I going to go?

4451
02:41:48,090 --> 02:41:48,470
Tennessee?

4452
02:41:49,450 --> 02:41:50,690
They love you in Nashville.

4453
02:41:51,290 --> 02:41:52,750
I'd be great, I like Tennessee.

4454
02:41:52,870 --> 02:41:53,830
I think it's one of the best states.

4455
02:41:54,330 --> 02:41:56,650
Arkansas, I think, is the most underrated great

4456
02:41:56,650 --> 02:41:58,210
state, but Tennessee's dynamite.

4457
02:41:58,370 --> 02:42:00,250
You bring your banjo, they'll love you.

4458
02:42:00,250 --> 02:42:01,950
They'll bring the banjo.

4459
02:42:02,750 --> 02:42:03,750
Bring the harmonica.

4460
02:42:04,070 --> 02:42:06,250
Harmonica, exactly, oh, there it is.

4461
02:42:07,010 --> 02:42:09,470
So there's still been a lot of, before

4462
02:42:09,470 --> 02:42:12,850
the whole Doge thing, everybody was out there

4463
02:42:12,850 --> 02:42:16,570
complaining about Tulsi Gabbard, and everyone gets on

4464
02:42:16,570 --> 02:42:19,090
the air, and Panetta, Panetta.

4465
02:42:19,330 --> 02:42:20,430
Lou Panetta, what's his name?

4466
02:42:20,950 --> 02:42:21,690
Lou Panetta?

4467
02:42:22,190 --> 02:42:23,970
The guy, the baseball guy?

4468
02:42:24,070 --> 02:42:26,850
No, Panetta, the former CIA director.

4469
02:42:27,050 --> 02:42:29,610
What was his first name, Panetta?

4470
02:42:29,610 --> 02:42:30,350
Yeah, Panetta.

4471
02:42:30,910 --> 02:42:31,830
What was his first name?

4472
02:42:32,550 --> 02:42:33,470
I thought it was Lou.

4473
02:42:34,110 --> 02:42:36,270
Oh, it's kind of funny.

4474
02:42:37,470 --> 02:42:39,230
Leon, Leon Panetta, there we go.

4475
02:42:39,530 --> 02:42:39,930
Leon!

4476
02:42:40,090 --> 02:42:40,890
Leon Panetta.

4477
02:42:41,270 --> 02:42:43,110
So this guy is so toasted.

4478
02:42:43,950 --> 02:42:45,290
This is a very short clip.

4479
02:42:45,350 --> 02:42:46,990
This is what he said about Tulsi.

4480
02:42:46,990 --> 02:42:49,270
Oh, you know, they took his, Leon Panetta,

4481
02:42:49,290 --> 02:42:52,390
I think he had his security removed.

4482
02:42:52,550 --> 02:42:54,490
Yes, oh yeah, his clearance has been removed.

4483
02:42:54,630 --> 02:42:55,090
His clearance.

4484
02:42:55,230 --> 02:42:57,290
I think he lost his clearance, lost his

4485
02:42:57,290 --> 02:43:00,130
security service protection, and so yeah, I'd be

4486
02:43:00,130 --> 02:43:02,070
probably drinking a lot too if I was

4487
02:43:02,070 --> 02:43:02,370
him.

4488
02:43:02,610 --> 02:43:05,090
But he's, and he's following this very, very

4489
02:43:05,090 --> 02:43:09,190
closely because she just cannot be the director

4490
02:43:09,190 --> 02:43:11,210
of national intelligence, no way.

4491
02:43:11,550 --> 02:43:12,990
Of intelligence information.

4492
02:43:14,270 --> 02:43:17,250
And there are three problems with Tulsi Gabbard.

4493
02:43:18,090 --> 02:43:20,650
One is that she has absolutely no experience

4494
02:43:20,650 --> 02:43:21,370
in intelligence.

4495
02:43:21,990 --> 02:43:24,370
He thinks her name is Chelsea Gabbard.

4496
02:43:26,650 --> 02:43:27,730
Play that again.

4497
02:43:27,730 --> 02:43:29,510
Of intelligence information.

4498
02:43:30,710 --> 02:43:33,850
And there are three problems with Chelsea Gabbard.

4499
02:43:35,310 --> 02:43:36,470
Chelsea Gabbard.

4500
02:43:36,470 --> 02:43:38,570
Yeah, so he's the guy who's gonna give

4501
02:43:38,570 --> 02:43:41,090
us expert advice and he can't even get

4502
02:43:41,090 --> 02:43:42,450
her name correctly.

4503
02:43:43,010 --> 02:43:45,550
I'm gonna show my school by donating to

4504
02:43:45,550 --> 02:43:46,170
No Agenda.

4505
02:43:46,310 --> 02:43:48,190
Imagine all the people who could do that.

4506
02:43:48,390 --> 02:43:49,450
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.

4507
02:43:50,470 --> 02:43:52,720
Yeah, on No Agenda.

4508
02:43:54,650 --> 02:43:56,110
In the morning.

4509
02:43:56,110 --> 02:43:58,570
Now a reminder that we have some outstanding

4510
02:43:58,570 --> 02:44:00,510
end of show mixes on the way.

4511
02:44:00,690 --> 02:44:02,170
A couple of new ones I think you'll

4512
02:44:02,170 --> 02:44:02,650
like a lot.

4513
02:44:02,750 --> 02:44:04,070
We also have John's tip of the day.

4514
02:44:04,150 --> 02:44:06,270
I have a tip of the day today,

4515
02:44:06,430 --> 02:44:08,090
so you may wanna hang around for that.

4516
02:44:08,250 --> 02:44:10,250
Oh yeah, we got some meetup reports, we

4517
02:44:10,250 --> 02:44:12,530
have a nighting birthdays, and John is going

4518
02:44:12,530 --> 02:44:15,630
to thank everybody who supported the show this

4519
02:44:15,630 --> 02:44:17,590
episode, $50 and above.

4520
02:44:18,670 --> 02:44:19,070
Yes.

4521
02:44:19,430 --> 02:44:19,630
Yes.

4522
02:44:19,770 --> 02:44:24,070
Starting with Sean Ungley in Philadelphia, but actually

4523
02:44:24,070 --> 02:44:27,310
this is $170.60, but this is a

4524
02:44:27,310 --> 02:44:29,450
switcheroo to phillylocal76.

4525
02:44:29,930 --> 02:44:30,590
Oh, okay.

4526
02:44:31,970 --> 02:44:40,330
Sean Homan in Noblesville, Indiana, 148.48. Merrick

4527
02:44:40,330 --> 02:44:43,510
Bendikowski, Bendikowski, in Warsaw, Poland.

4528
02:44:43,790 --> 02:44:45,210
Yay, we got one.

4529
02:44:46,150 --> 02:44:46,610
Wow.

4530
02:44:46,970 --> 02:44:47,510
Yeah, we got one.

4531
02:44:47,510 --> 02:44:49,730
One, two, three, four, five, and again with

4532
02:44:49,730 --> 02:44:51,290
some health karma for his dad.

4533
02:44:51,370 --> 02:44:52,610
Can you put that at the end, please?

4534
02:44:52,610 --> 02:44:53,190
Of course.

4535
02:44:54,150 --> 02:44:58,430
A.W. Christensen in Raglan, Queensland, Australia.

4536
02:44:58,590 --> 02:45:00,570
There we go, 120 bucks from Australia.

4537
02:45:01,110 --> 02:45:03,530
That is probably- That's the one.

4538
02:45:04,030 --> 02:45:05,390
That's probably 200 bucks, too.

4539
02:45:05,490 --> 02:45:06,610
It should probably be bumped up.

4540
02:45:06,890 --> 02:45:09,570
Okay, I will, hold on a second, let

4541
02:45:09,570 --> 02:45:10,410
me bump it up.

4542
02:45:10,430 --> 02:45:12,770
Bump him up to associate executive producer.

4543
02:45:12,950 --> 02:45:14,090
All right, all right.

4544
02:45:15,130 --> 02:45:19,750
Russell Rhodes in Tallahassee, Florida, 105.35, and

4545
02:45:19,750 --> 02:45:23,170
he's got a birthday call for his son.

4546
02:45:25,310 --> 02:45:29,110
Michigan Mad Dog in Mountain Pleasant, Michigan, 102.

4547
02:45:30,930 --> 02:45:33,030
Congrats on whatever he says.

4548
02:45:33,210 --> 02:45:34,430
John Robinet, $100.

4549
02:45:35,550 --> 02:45:41,330
Alexander O'Neill in Mississaugua, Ontario, Canada, and

4550
02:45:41,330 --> 02:45:42,390
he's got a very long note.

4551
02:45:42,430 --> 02:45:43,770
See if there's anything in here that we

4552
02:45:43,770 --> 02:45:44,470
need to do.

4553
02:45:44,570 --> 02:45:48,030
Well, he's Canadian, but he's based in Tokyo,

4554
02:45:48,030 --> 02:45:50,010
and he wanted to express his thanks to

4555
02:45:50,010 --> 02:45:51,890
Dame Astor and Sir Mark for hosting a

4556
02:45:51,890 --> 02:45:53,110
great meetup in January.

4557
02:45:53,310 --> 02:45:54,870
Connection is definitely protection.

4558
02:45:55,370 --> 02:45:57,090
They brought together a very fine group of

4559
02:45:57,090 --> 02:45:58,990
people from Tokyo and around the world, and

4560
02:45:58,990 --> 02:46:02,010
he's on the birthday list for the third,

4561
02:46:02,170 --> 02:46:05,670
so it's a post, it's after the fact,

4562
02:46:06,050 --> 02:46:09,090
and he was turned 33, so you're on

4563
02:46:09,090 --> 02:46:09,370
the list.

4564
02:46:09,570 --> 02:46:10,810
Yeah, another 33-year.

4565
02:46:10,990 --> 02:46:11,430
That's right.

4566
02:46:12,050 --> 02:46:12,890
Robert G.

4567
02:46:13,010 --> 02:46:16,830
MacArthur in Monmouth, Oregon, 100.

4568
02:46:20,760 --> 02:46:23,940
He says, this is what a USAID bucks

4569
02:46:23,940 --> 02:46:27,180
doesn't look like, donation to the show.

4570
02:46:27,360 --> 02:46:29,500
I think Rogan and us are the only

4571
02:46:29,500 --> 02:46:32,100
podcast not getting money from USAID.

4572
02:46:34,700 --> 02:46:36,400
Everyone's making out on that stuff.

4573
02:46:36,640 --> 02:46:37,700
Yeah, or the Russians.

4574
02:46:40,040 --> 02:46:43,240
Heather, yeah, no, people should note that, too.

4575
02:46:43,340 --> 02:46:44,440
We don't get money from these.

4576
02:46:44,560 --> 02:46:46,240
I think once in a while some spook

4577
02:46:46,240 --> 02:46:48,220
money shows up as a normal donation.

4578
02:46:48,220 --> 02:46:49,080
It's not private spook money.

4579
02:46:49,320 --> 02:46:51,420
It's just from their salaries.

4580
02:46:52,460 --> 02:46:54,220
Yeah, guys, poor guys.

4581
02:46:54,620 --> 02:46:57,640
Heather Hare in Gillette, Wyoming, 100.

4582
02:46:58,240 --> 02:47:04,300
Sir Zubat of Windsor in Windsor, Canada, or

4583
02:47:04,300 --> 02:47:07,600
no, Windsor, California, right, Windsor, the wine-growing

4584
02:47:07,600 --> 02:47:08,080
area.

4585
02:47:08,700 --> 02:47:10,540
Wants a little R2-D2 karma at the

4586
02:47:10,540 --> 02:47:11,480
end if you can give it to him.

4587
02:47:11,600 --> 02:47:16,200
Sir Brath in Lancaster, New Hampshire, 9016.

4588
02:47:20,680 --> 02:47:25,380
Patrick Stasiak in Saginaw, Michigan, 8810, and that's

4589
02:47:25,380 --> 02:47:27,940
a double nipples on the dime.

4590
02:47:30,020 --> 02:47:31,820
50th birthday coming up for him.

4591
02:47:32,460 --> 02:47:34,420
Kevin McLaughlin in Concord, North Carolina.

4592
02:47:34,540 --> 02:47:35,780
There he is, 8008.

4593
02:47:35,880 --> 02:47:40,720
He's the Duke of Luna, Archduke of Luna,

4594
02:47:40,760 --> 02:47:42,540
I'm sorry, and lover of American boobs.

4595
02:47:43,860 --> 02:47:46,660
He says, my apologies, the title upgrade to

4596
02:47:46,660 --> 02:47:49,140
Archduke was approved on show 1491.

4597
02:47:49,900 --> 02:47:50,900
Nia Toblowski.

4598
02:47:54,850 --> 02:47:57,890
David Kekita in Santan Valley.

4599
02:47:58,250 --> 02:47:58,370
Yeah.

4600
02:47:58,890 --> 02:48:01,650
And this is the 73 Ham Radio donation,

4601
02:48:01,710 --> 02:48:03,270
which I should probably put on the list

4602
02:48:03,270 --> 02:48:04,370
as a regular donation.

4603
02:48:04,630 --> 02:48:06,150
And David has a end of show mix

4604
02:48:06,150 --> 02:48:08,330
today for us, so he donates in time,

4605
02:48:08,490 --> 02:48:10,250
talent, and treasure, thank you.

4606
02:48:11,070 --> 02:48:11,990
A triple threat.

4607
02:48:12,410 --> 02:48:12,850
That's right.

4608
02:48:12,970 --> 02:48:16,670
Dana Carroll in Laughlin, Nevada, 7227.

4609
02:48:16,670 --> 02:48:22,330
Golf Winch in Roanert Park, California, 6777.

4610
02:48:22,770 --> 02:48:27,850
Sir Leron in Dothan, Alabama, 6746.

4611
02:48:28,210 --> 02:48:33,250
Bobby Bowe in Bluegrass, Iowa, 6746.

4612
02:48:33,950 --> 02:48:36,190
There's a birthday coming up there for Jeff

4613
02:48:36,190 --> 02:48:36,670
Voss.

4614
02:48:36,950 --> 02:48:37,690
Yes, you got it.

4615
02:48:37,710 --> 02:48:40,990
And that's actually the 6502 chip donation plus

4616
02:48:40,990 --> 02:48:44,470
fees, so that would also account for Clay

4617
02:48:44,470 --> 02:48:50,410
Boccevice in Miami, Florida, 6736.

4618
02:48:51,270 --> 02:48:54,910
And here's the regular great promotion for the

4619
02:48:54,910 --> 02:48:55,870
chip donation.

4620
02:48:56,910 --> 02:48:58,790
People don't care anymore.

4621
02:48:58,910 --> 02:49:01,410
The only people who remember the 6502 are

4622
02:49:01,410 --> 02:49:03,130
boomers like you and me.

4623
02:49:03,290 --> 02:49:04,110
I'm Boomer Jason.

4624
02:49:04,590 --> 02:49:09,670
Michael Ragusa in Tustin, California, 6502.

4625
02:49:10,410 --> 02:49:16,310
And Leo Bugo in Sarasota, Florida, 6502.

4626
02:49:16,450 --> 02:49:18,310
Jobs Karma giving that at the end, we'll

4627
02:49:18,310 --> 02:49:18,730
do that.

4628
02:49:19,630 --> 02:49:22,730
David Cox in Austin, Texas, 6325.

4629
02:49:23,370 --> 02:49:28,550
Nick Lynch in Isanti, Minnesota, 6006.

4630
02:49:29,090 --> 02:49:33,390
And he wants to thank Dreb Scott for

4631
02:49:33,390 --> 02:49:35,910
the chapters so he can skip the AI

4632
02:49:35,910 --> 02:49:36,790
segments.

4633
02:49:37,330 --> 02:49:38,290
You're gonna die.

4634
02:49:38,560 --> 02:49:39,490
All right, fine.

4635
02:49:40,430 --> 02:49:45,950
Lucas Haskell in Saco, Maine, 6006.

4636
02:49:46,890 --> 02:49:48,130
I won't say what he said.

4637
02:49:48,690 --> 02:49:51,470
Daniel Bradley in Knoxville, Tennessee, 60.

4638
02:49:51,610 --> 02:49:54,030
Anonymous Girl, Boston, 60.

4639
02:49:55,240 --> 02:49:57,490
Brian Furley, 5510.

4640
02:49:58,110 --> 02:50:03,910
Sir Tom Darry in DeForest, Wisconsin, he came

4641
02:50:03,910 --> 02:50:05,030
in with 5510.

4642
02:50:05,130 --> 02:50:07,450
And then we go to Luke Rachovic.

4643
02:50:07,450 --> 02:50:09,130
Luca, Luca.

4644
02:50:09,150 --> 02:50:13,690
Luca Rachovic in Slovonski, Croatia.

4645
02:50:14,510 --> 02:50:16,530
Hey, Croatia, I used to write for a

4646
02:50:16,530 --> 02:50:18,010
magazine, Croatian Bug Magazine.

4647
02:50:18,270 --> 02:50:18,950
Hello, Croatia.

4648
02:50:20,430 --> 02:50:23,130
5377, a great place, by the way.

4649
02:50:23,290 --> 02:50:25,930
People wanna visit a great country, Croatia is

4650
02:50:25,930 --> 02:50:26,090
it.

4651
02:50:26,390 --> 02:50:26,550
Yes.

4652
02:50:26,750 --> 02:50:28,930
Still has enough remnants of the communist era

4653
02:50:28,930 --> 02:50:29,250
to make it interesting.

4654
02:50:29,250 --> 02:50:31,390
They have a beautiful coastline, I believe.

4655
02:50:32,210 --> 02:50:34,290
Yes, and Dubrovnik, if you wanna go there,

4656
02:50:34,450 --> 02:50:35,430
that's an experience.

4657
02:50:35,430 --> 02:50:38,690
They have the, what is it, the sound

4658
02:50:38,690 --> 02:50:39,810
pipes there?

4659
02:50:40,030 --> 02:50:41,910
And so when the water, the tide comes

4660
02:50:41,910 --> 02:50:44,030
in, it plays this eerie sound.

4661
02:50:44,950 --> 02:50:46,170
But I didn't get there.

4662
02:50:46,410 --> 02:50:48,050
Yeah, Kristina went there.

4663
02:50:48,550 --> 02:50:51,910
She said, yeah, yeah, whistles, and yeah.

4664
02:50:52,490 --> 02:50:55,030
Croatia is the bomb, man, it's the bomb.

4665
02:50:56,530 --> 02:50:59,330
Kristina says, do not eat the cheese sandwiches

4666
02:50:59,330 --> 02:51:00,630
from the gas station.

4667
02:51:02,590 --> 02:51:04,270
That's a worldwide rule.

4668
02:51:04,270 --> 02:51:06,410
She did not have a good experience with

4669
02:51:06,410 --> 02:51:06,750
that.

4670
02:51:09,450 --> 02:51:11,890
Kristina, by the way, is on a reality

4671
02:51:11,890 --> 02:51:12,730
show right now.

4672
02:51:13,810 --> 02:51:14,650
Did you know that?

4673
02:51:15,210 --> 02:51:16,650
No, she's been on one before.

4674
02:51:16,790 --> 02:51:17,930
She's like a reality person.

4675
02:51:17,930 --> 02:51:20,870
This is Chicks in the Jungle.

4676
02:51:22,610 --> 02:51:24,710
Oh, she got selected for that?

4677
02:51:24,730 --> 02:51:27,910
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's in it, and it's

4678
02:51:27,910 --> 02:51:29,470
in Columbia, and it's hilarious.

4679
02:51:29,590 --> 02:51:31,430
She had to eat ants and...

4680
02:51:31,430 --> 02:51:33,230
Oh, you're making me sick.

4681
02:51:34,410 --> 02:51:35,690
She's doing quite well.

4682
02:51:35,810 --> 02:51:37,550
She's doing well in the elimination.

4683
02:51:37,890 --> 02:51:38,450
She's still there.

4684
02:51:38,570 --> 02:51:39,350
She's still in the game.

4685
02:51:39,630 --> 02:51:40,910

Richie Rich from North Carolina was at the

4711

meetup, the one with the great hair, top

4712

4713
02:53:01,510 --> 02:53:02,470
He sent me an email.

4714
02:53:02,710 --> 02:53:06,070
He said, John is exaggerating about the conversation

4715
02:53:06,070 --> 02:53:07,150
about the hair.

4716
02:53:08,130 --> 02:53:08,350
No.

4717
02:53:08,570 --> 02:53:09,630
Yes, yes he did.

4718
02:53:09,710 --> 02:53:10,230
He sent me an email.

4719
02:53:10,410 --> 02:53:11,810
No, he sent you the note, but I

4720
02:53:11,810 --> 02:53:13,150
don't exaggerate.

4721
02:53:13,210 --> 02:53:14,390
Okay, all right.

4722
02:53:14,550 --> 02:53:15,750
He came in with 52.

4723
02:53:16,570 --> 02:53:18,730
No, he, I don't know, maybe I embarrassed

4724
02:53:18,730 --> 02:53:19,010
him.

Joe Gwaltney here, he says, I finally donated

02:54:51,020 --> 02:54:53,060
enough to claim my knighthood in keeping with

4771
02:54:53,060 --> 02:54:56,200
John's incessant need to pronounce every town incorrectly.

4772
02:54:56,200 --> 02:54:58,500
It reminds me of a time when as

4773
02:54:58,500 --> 02:55:01,520
a young boy living in Elbron, Virginia, pronounce

4774
02:55:01,520 --> 02:55:04,800
Elbrin, whoops, Elbrin, Virginia, pronounce Elbrin to the

4775
02:55:04,800 --> 02:55:07,020
locals, my grandmother took me to a local

4776
02:55:07,020 --> 02:55:09,220
church to show me the most horrible misspelling

4777
02:55:09,220 --> 02:55:09,760
of the town.

4778
02:55:10,100 --> 02:55:12,600
The cornerstone of the church showed the town

4779
02:55:12,600 --> 02:55:14,660
name as Elbow, Virginia.

4780
02:55:15,140 --> 02:55:17,260
And as such, I would like, that's pretty

4781
02:55:17,260 --> 02:55:17,500
bad.

4782
02:55:17,740 --> 02:55:19,940
I would like to be knighted Sir Duterino

4783
02:55:19,940 --> 02:55:20,640
of the Elbow.

4784
02:55:20,780 --> 02:55:22,140
I know you guys aren't into the whole

So thank you very much for my sanity

4787
02:55:24,900 --> 02:55:29,560
and thank you to Sir Perfluous for hitting

4788
02:55:29,560 --> 02:55:30,100
me in the mouth.

4789
02:55:30,260 --> 02:55:31,320
Well, that's very nice of him.

4790
02:55:31,400 --> 02:55:33,520
So why don't you grab a blade, John?

4791
02:55:33,660 --> 02:55:35,060

I, Joe Gwaltney, step on up.

4797
02:55:42,240 --> 02:55:44,360
You, sir, are about to become a knight

4798
02:55:44,360 --> 02:55:45,460
of the Noah-Jemner Round Table.

4799
02:55:45,600 --> 02:55:46,760
Let me get these blades here.

4800
02:55:46,840 --> 02:55:48,380
And I'm very proud to pronounce the K

4801
02:55:48,380 --> 02:55:52,600
-D as Sir Duterino of the Elbow.

4802
02:55:52,600 --> 02:55:54,320
And for you, we've got hookers and bros,

4803
02:55:54,440 --> 02:55:55,640
rent boys and chardonnays.

4804
02:55:55,800 --> 02:55:58,960
We got harlots and halibos, redheads and ryes,

4805
02:55:59,080 --> 02:56:01,320
beers and blunts, rubinettes, rubin and rosé, gays

4806
02:56:01,320 --> 02:56:03,460
and sake, vodka, vanilla, bong hits and bourbon,

4807
02:56:03,580 --> 02:56:05,620
sparkling cider, escorts, ginger ale and gerbils.

4808
02:56:05,980 --> 02:56:06,540
It's a favorite.

4809
02:56:06,820 --> 02:56:08,400
Or of course, breast milk and pablum.

02:56:08,540 --> 02:56:10,540

02:56:19,340 --> 02:56:22,740
to noagenderings.com and use the ring sizing

4816
02:56:22,740 --> 02:56:25,040
guide on the website to send us your

4817
02:56:25,040 --> 02:56:26,660
size and where you want the ring to

4818
02:56:26,660 --> 02:56:27,400
be sent to.

4819
02:56:27,620 --> 02:56:28,980
And of course, it always comes with a

4820
02:56:28,980 --> 02:56:31,180
certificate of authenticity and seeing as it is

4821
02:56:31,180 --> 02:56:33,360
a Signet ring, which is kind of cool.

4822
02:56:33,520 --> 02:56:35,100
It's a mirror, reverse.

4823
02:56:35,460 --> 02:56:37,060
You get some wax to seal your important

4824
02:56:37,060 --> 02:56:39,500
correspondence, which I just got from our knight

4825
02:56:39,500 --> 02:56:40,220
there in Bastrop.

4826
02:56:40,300 --> 02:56:42,460
His note was sealed with his ring and

4827
02:56:42,460 --> 02:56:43,140
the sealing wax.

4828
02:56:43,140 --> 02:56:43,640

4856
02:57:34,660 --> 02:57:37,440

We'll see you next month.

4861
02:57:45,160 --> 02:57:46,380
In the morning.

4862
02:57:47,080 --> 02:57:49,460
This Meetup report was produced in Spearfish, South

4863
02:57:49,460 --> 02:57:52,800
Dakota and is guaranteed to be completely AI

4864
02:57:52,800 --> 02:57:53,280
-free.

4865
02:57:53,560 --> 02:57:55,840
Yeah, and please don't send me your homemade

4866
02:57:55,840 --> 02:57:58,480
songs before and after the Meetup report unless

4867
02:57:58,480 --> 02:58:00,680
it's completely relevant, which it wasn't, so I

4868
02:58:00,680 --> 02:58:01,580
had to snip it off.

4869
02:58:01,660 --> 02:58:03,700
Philly, the Too Many Kegs Meetup.

4870
02:58:03,960 --> 02:58:06,860

we have Too Many Kegs.

4873
02:58:12,400 --> 02:58:14,140
I listen to the show at double speed,

4874
02:58:14,140 --> 02:58:15,360
but I play it twice.

4875
02:58:15,700 --> 02:58:17,120
Hello, sirs from Philadelphia.

4876
02:58:17,520 --> 02:58:19,400

Sarcastic to Nomad in Philly, thank you for

In the morning, hanging out here with a

4882
02:58:29,800 --> 02:58:32,060
bunch of flat earthers, having a good time.

4883
02:58:32,520 --> 02:58:35,600
Hey, it's Gray, checking in from my first

4884
02:58:35,600 --> 02:58:36,340
Philly Meetup.

4885
02:58:36,600 --> 02:58:38,960
Hi, Mom, we're all just wondering what keeps

4886
02:58:38,960 --> 02:58:40,220
the satellites afloat.

4887
02:58:40,700 --> 02:58:43,660
This is Black Knight, sir, EZ, and I

4888
02:58:43,660 --> 02:58:45,540
wanna tell John that I have a problem

4889
02:58:45,540 --> 02:58:46,420
with my night ring.

4890
02:58:46,500 --> 02:58:47,900
It's getting smaller and smaller.

4891
02:58:48,100 --> 02:58:48,900
I want a refund.

4892
02:58:51,000 --> 02:58:52,500
North Georgia, come on in.

4893
02:58:52,820 --> 02:58:53,660
Come one, come all.

4894
02:58:54,000 --> 02:58:55,720
John, we had a swell time, even though

4895
02:58:55,720 --> 02:58:57,380
nobody ate any mac and cheese.

4896
02:58:57,980 --> 02:58:58,700
Sean here.

4897
02:58:59,320 --> 02:59:00,380
Don't eat me, Tom Hummond.

4898
02:59:00,460 --> 02:59:01,760
You're scary, so scary.

4899
02:59:02,160 --> 02:59:04,640
Hey, N.A., Dr. Sir, Mike Ruff.

4900
02:59:04,860 --> 02:59:07,120
I love my mullet and I love my

4901
02:59:07,120 --> 02:59:07,580
beard.

4902
02:59:07,940 --> 02:59:08,660
Sir E here.

4903
02:59:08,660 --> 02:59:10,900
Remember, connection is protection.

4904
02:59:11,280 --> 02:59:13,580
In the morning, it's good to be back

4905
02:59:13,580 --> 02:59:16,360
with fellow slaves in the city of coming,

4906
02:59:16,640 --> 02:59:17,420
which is a verb.

4907
02:59:17,780 --> 02:59:18,180
Sick hail.

4908
02:59:19,080 --> 02:59:19,640
Noted.

4909
02:59:19,920 --> 02:59:21,480

In the morning!

4914
02:59:27,460 --> 02:59:28,120
All right.

4915
02:59:29,120 --> 02:59:30,060
Very nice.

4916
02:59:30,360 --> 02:59:32,720

4931
03:00:05,540 --> 03:00:07,760
I don't know why you're using Alaska time.

4932
03:00:07,900 --> 03:00:08,800
I guess that makes sense.

4933
03:00:09,180 --> 03:00:11,060

4958
03:01:01,720 --> 03:01:03,000
You know, I got the TV now on

4959
03:01:03,000 --> 03:01:04,920
the wall in the studio and I just

4960
03:01:04,920 --> 03:01:08,440
looked up and it's like CNN, they're running

4961
03:01:08,440 --> 03:01:10,620
out of people to put on to complain

4962
03:01:10,620 --> 03:01:11,220
about Trump.

4963
03:01:11,300 --> 03:01:12,620
Now they just got ugly people.

4964
03:01:12,760 --> 03:01:14,720
There's nothing but ugly people on CNN.

4965
03:01:15,340 --> 03:01:18,140
Yeah, with ugly shirts, ugly face, ugly hair,

4966
03:01:18,260 --> 03:01:18,840
it's crazy.

4967
03:01:19,040 --> 03:01:20,060
They're running out of people.

4968
03:01:20,920 --> 03:01:22,640
They can't fill enough airtime.

4969
03:01:23,940 --> 03:01:24,460
Sad.

4970
03:01:26,180 --> 03:01:29,860
Super sad is that I somehow, I'm not

4971
03:01:29,860 --> 03:01:32,980
sure how, neglected to get any ISOs.

4972
03:01:33,560 --> 03:01:35,180
Oh, I was thinking you were gonna have

4973
03:01:35,180 --> 03:01:35,660
a bunch of them.

4974
03:01:35,660 --> 03:01:36,600
I only have the one.

4975
03:01:36,740 --> 03:01:37,780
Well, it's a winner.

4976
03:01:37,940 --> 03:01:39,580
We will not shut up!

4977
03:01:39,860 --> 03:01:40,940
God, that's no good.

4978
03:01:41,000 --> 03:01:42,840
Wait a minute, let me see if, that's

4979
03:01:42,840 --> 03:01:43,820
really horrible.

4980
03:01:44,480 --> 03:01:45,940
Wait, I have...

4981
03:01:46,560 --> 03:01:48,020
Well, go back to the one I used

4982
03:01:48,020 --> 03:01:50,140
a lot, the one I had submitted last

4983
03:01:50,140 --> 03:01:51,960
time that got bumped by yours.

4984
03:01:52,480 --> 03:01:53,340
That was a good one.

4985
03:01:53,560 --> 03:01:54,460
Which one was that?

4986
03:01:55,740 --> 03:01:57,200
Do you remember which one it was?

4987
03:01:57,520 --> 03:01:59,120
Well, I have the list here somewhere.

4988
03:01:59,120 --> 03:02:00,420
I remember what I had.

4989
03:02:00,580 --> 03:02:01,240
I had...

4990
03:02:01,240 --> 03:02:02,540
Goodness gracious.

4991
03:02:02,540 --> 03:02:03,820
I had that one.

4992
03:02:04,060 --> 03:02:04,540
No, no.

4993
03:02:04,760 --> 03:02:06,380
Go to no, try no way.

4994
03:02:08,280 --> 03:02:09,500
No way, hold on.

4995
03:02:11,400 --> 03:02:12,840
This one, here we go.

4996
03:02:13,160 --> 03:02:15,140
There is no way anything can be this

4997
03:02:15,140 --> 03:02:15,440
good.

4998
03:02:15,780 --> 03:02:17,300
Yeah, I think we should use that one.

4999
03:02:17,440 --> 03:02:18,040
That's a good one.

5000
03:02:18,320 --> 03:02:18,920
Yeah, that would work.

5001
03:02:19,020 --> 03:02:19,520
Thank goodness.

5002
03:02:19,620 --> 03:02:21,120

For those of you who use Android phones

your transcripts, which I'm pretty sure they do.

5016
03:02:54,440 --> 03:02:55,020
Of course they do.

5017
03:02:55,120 --> 03:02:58,480
There's an open source voice-to-text system

5018
03:02:59,100 --> 03:03:02,080
that is created by, funny enough, a company

5019
03:03:02,080 --> 03:03:07,580
in Austin, and their entire website explains exactly

5020
03:03:07,580 --> 03:03:08,620
how they're not lame.

5021
03:03:09,020 --> 03:03:11,980
It is called Futo, F-U-T-O,

5022
03:03:12,360 --> 03:03:15,520
and you can find them at futo.org.

5023
03:03:15,740 --> 03:03:17,980
You can even download it as an APK

5024
03:03:17,980 --> 03:03:19,160
so you don't have to get it off

5025
03:03:19,160 --> 03:03:21,880
of the Play Store, so you know that,

5026
03:03:22,480 --> 03:03:24,480
and you can look at their GitHub to

5027
03:03:24,480 --> 03:03:26,160
see how everything works.

5028
03:03:26,160 --> 03:03:28,340
And it does pretty well.

5029
03:03:28,500 --> 03:03:31,680
It's not quite as fast as you'd expect

5030
03:03:31,680 --> 03:03:34,420
from the Googles, but at least you know,

5031
03:03:34,600 --> 03:03:36,700
and it's pretty accurate, and at least you

5032
03:03:36,700 --> 03:03:39,780
know that it is not saving that to

5033
03:03:39,780 --> 03:03:41,400
embarrass you later in life.

5034
03:03:41,960 --> 03:03:43,340
That is my tip of the day.

5035
03:03:43,840 --> 03:03:44,560
That's a good one.

5036
03:03:44,700 --> 03:03:45,240
Thank you.

5037
03:03:45,880 --> 03:03:47,720
So this tip is more of an education

5038
03:03:47,720 --> 03:03:48,420
than a tip.

5039
03:03:48,860 --> 03:03:51,960
This stemmed from the end of last year,

5040
03:03:52,180 --> 03:03:55,800
or post-mortem, where it turned out that

5041
03:03:55,800 --> 03:03:58,080
I'd known you for 31 years or so.

5042
03:03:58,400 --> 03:03:58,500
Me?

5043
03:03:58,800 --> 03:04:01,520
And you didn't know anything about olive oil.

5044
03:04:02,200 --> 03:04:04,300
And you had come back from Italy.

5045
03:04:04,540 --> 03:04:06,200
I'm still reeling it that we've known each

5046
03:04:06,200 --> 03:04:08,520
other for 31 years, and you're probably right.

5047
03:04:08,680 --> 03:04:11,120
That's the hard part about it.

5048
03:04:12,180 --> 03:04:14,800
Yes, right, I didn't, I mean, yes, go

5049
03:04:14,800 --> 03:04:15,040
ahead.

5050
03:04:15,700 --> 03:04:16,760
I will take my lickens.

5051
03:04:16,760 --> 03:04:18,400
Because you had gone to Tuscany.

5052
03:04:18,580 --> 03:04:18,880
Yes.

5053
03:04:19,400 --> 03:04:21,860
And brought back a bunch of olive oil,

5054
03:04:21,860 --> 03:04:23,400
and then I told you a couple of

5055
03:04:23,400 --> 03:04:25,380
things, and you were clueless about it.

5056
03:04:25,380 --> 03:04:26,860
And I have to assume, and I talked

5057
03:04:26,860 --> 03:04:28,100
about doing this as a tip of the

5058
03:04:28,100 --> 03:04:29,920
day, that people don't know anything about olive

5059
03:04:29,920 --> 03:04:30,200
oil.

5060
03:04:30,720 --> 03:04:31,100
That's correct.

5061
03:04:31,100 --> 03:04:32,840
Or at least they generally don't.

5062
03:04:33,860 --> 03:04:35,040
And just a few basics.

5063
03:04:35,660 --> 03:04:40,700
Olive oil only keeps for two years, max,

5064
03:04:41,060 --> 03:04:41,920
and has to be kept.

5065
03:04:42,100 --> 03:04:43,540
This is what I didn't, I was surprised

5066
03:04:43,540 --> 03:04:43,920
by that.

5067
03:04:43,920 --> 03:04:45,160
This is the thing that you were surprised

5068
03:04:45,160 --> 03:04:45,320
by.

5069
03:04:45,420 --> 03:04:45,520
Yes, it was.

5070
03:04:45,520 --> 03:04:48,740
You thought olive oil, like all oils, goes

5071
03:04:48,740 --> 03:04:52,140
rancid, and the kind of rancidity that you

5072
03:04:52,140 --> 03:04:56,020
achieve from these oils, butter does this, coffee

5073
03:04:56,020 --> 03:04:57,520
beans do it, anything with oil.

5074
03:04:58,620 --> 03:05:00,400
The rancidity is unhealthy.

5075
03:05:01,440 --> 03:05:03,340
And olive oil is good for two years,

5076
03:05:03,460 --> 03:05:04,920
and so when you buy olive oil, you

5077
03:05:04,920 --> 03:05:07,940
should always check on the back of the

5078
03:05:07,940 --> 03:05:08,240
bottle.

5079
03:05:08,380 --> 03:05:10,860
It should have a either pick date, or

5080
03:05:10,860 --> 03:05:14,060
use by date, and it should be in

5081
03:05:14,060 --> 03:05:16,120
just a round number.

5082
03:05:17,600 --> 03:05:20,440
Costco's extra virgin olive oil that they sell,

5083
03:05:20,820 --> 03:05:24,080
Italian, in the green bottle, not the organic,

5084
03:05:24,200 --> 03:05:26,700
but the regular stuff, usually has information on

5085
03:05:26,700 --> 03:05:28,660
the back, and you can tell how, you

5086
03:05:28,660 --> 03:05:30,860
know, because the batches change about once every

5087
03:05:30,860 --> 03:05:33,460
four months at Costco, and you want the

5088
03:05:33,460 --> 03:05:37,320
freshest, newest olive oil you can find, hopefully

5089
03:05:37,320 --> 03:05:38,280
within a year.

5090
03:05:38,640 --> 03:05:40,900
But after two years, it starts to go

5091
03:05:40,900 --> 03:05:44,180
bad, and it's not something that ages like

5092
03:05:44,180 --> 03:05:45,560
wine, and so you have to be careful

5093
03:05:45,560 --> 03:05:46,120
with olive oil.

5094
03:05:46,460 --> 03:05:47,920
The other thing is that people don't know,

5095
03:05:48,660 --> 03:05:50,240
I just was thinking about it to add

5096
03:05:50,240 --> 03:05:53,660
to this simple tip, is you have to,

5097
03:05:53,980 --> 03:05:56,200
the olive oil, most olive oil, by a

5098
03:05:56,200 --> 03:05:59,360
factor of almost all olive oil in the

5099
03:05:59,360 --> 03:06:02,220
world, Spain makes most of it.

5100
03:06:02,880 --> 03:06:04,680
And they make more olive oil than anybody

5101
03:06:04,680 --> 03:06:05,340
by far.

5102
03:06:05,560 --> 03:06:07,580
You take everybody else combined, it's about what

5103
03:06:07,580 --> 03:06:08,240
Spain makes.

5104
03:06:08,620 --> 03:06:10,220
And most of their olive oil is blended

5105
03:06:10,220 --> 03:06:12,460
into other olive oils, and you have to

5106
03:06:12,460 --> 03:06:15,660
be careful, because it's always, Italian olive oil's

5107
03:06:15,660 --> 03:06:16,920
always considered the best.

5108
03:06:17,700 --> 03:06:20,460
Tuscan olive oil's always considered the best of

5109
03:06:20,460 --> 03:06:20,960
the best.

5110
03:06:21,440 --> 03:06:22,500
They're just a couple of things.

5111
03:06:22,620 --> 03:06:24,960
I find Sicilian olive oil would be really

5112
03:06:24,960 --> 03:06:27,480
good, but my favorite olive oil's come from

5113
03:06:27,480 --> 03:06:31,040
Provence, France, and California, which makes some terrific

5114
03:06:31,040 --> 03:06:33,200
olive oils, but the production is so low,

5115
03:06:33,260 --> 03:06:34,880
it doesn't even show up on the list

5116
03:06:34,880 --> 03:06:36,380
of olive oil makers.

5117
03:06:36,560 --> 03:06:38,700
South American olive oils are also good.

5118
03:06:39,520 --> 03:06:41,700
So the point is that you have to

5119
03:06:41,700 --> 03:06:43,420
be careful with the Italian stuff, which is

5120
03:06:43,420 --> 03:06:46,520
the most promoted, because you have to make

5121
03:06:46,520 --> 03:06:49,760
sure that you read the label, and make

5122
03:06:49,760 --> 03:06:53,860
sure it says produced in Italy with Italian

5123
03:06:53,860 --> 03:06:57,800
olives, because it'll often say packed in Italy,

5124
03:06:57,940 --> 03:07:00,460
so it'll say Italian olive oil, and it'll

5125
03:07:00,460 --> 03:07:03,160
say packed in Italy, and it's Spanish olive

5126
03:07:03,160 --> 03:07:05,480
oil, or even worse, Greece.

5127
03:07:05,620 --> 03:07:07,500
Oh no, oh, that's the worst.

5128
03:07:08,140 --> 03:07:11,200
No, Grecian olive oil is always considered greasy.

5129
03:07:11,200 --> 03:07:13,820
I don't like it, it has a weird

5130
03:07:13,820 --> 03:07:14,220
taste.

5131
03:07:14,500 --> 03:07:17,080
It's greasy, but I will say this.

5132
03:07:17,440 --> 03:07:21,180
In Spain, there's terrific olive oils around, but

5133
03:07:21,180 --> 03:07:23,940
very few of them get exported, and they

5134
03:07:23,940 --> 03:07:27,500
have varietal olive oils and all the rest,

5135
03:07:27,640 --> 03:07:29,840
and the last tip, I don't want to

5136
03:07:29,840 --> 03:07:30,600
overdo this.

5137
03:07:30,620 --> 03:07:31,860
Wow, you're going crazy.

5138
03:07:32,160 --> 03:07:34,340
The noagentitips.net can't keep up.

5139
03:07:36,140 --> 03:07:38,260
The last tip is the idea, what is

5140
03:07:38,260 --> 03:07:39,360
extra virgin?

5141
03:07:39,660 --> 03:07:40,540
Yeah, what is that?

5142
03:07:40,540 --> 03:07:43,160
What is extra virgin, extra, extra virgin, you

5143
03:07:43,160 --> 03:07:43,640
can even get.

5144
03:07:43,660 --> 03:07:47,000
Extra virgin, extra virgin olive oil is an

5145
03:07:47,000 --> 03:07:49,420
oil that, and usually what you want to

5146
03:07:49,420 --> 03:07:53,500
get is first pressed extra virgin olive oil,

5147
03:07:53,700 --> 03:07:56,740
and you should first press, because you want

5148
03:07:56,740 --> 03:08:03,060
it to be pressed by extraction, and by

5149
03:08:03,060 --> 03:08:06,080
a press, and so I'll just read from

5150
03:08:06,080 --> 03:08:06,340
the thing.

5151
03:08:07,180 --> 03:08:11,880
Extra virgin olive oil is, you mash up

5152
03:08:11,880 --> 03:08:13,860
the olives, and you start to press them

5153
03:08:13,860 --> 03:08:14,440
to get the oil.

5154
03:08:14,720 --> 03:08:17,760
You can't use heat or chemicals to extract

5155
03:08:17,760 --> 03:08:19,280
the oil, it has to be just purely

5156
03:08:19,280 --> 03:08:21,100
pressed, and the first pressing is the good

5157
03:08:21,100 --> 03:08:21,440
stuff.

5158
03:08:22,520 --> 03:08:23,780
That's the extra virgin?

5159
03:08:24,380 --> 03:08:26,700
That's the extra virgin first press.

5160
03:08:26,900 --> 03:08:27,620
First press.

5161
03:08:28,000 --> 03:08:28,420
Best price.

5162
03:08:28,420 --> 03:08:31,400
And so that's what you want, it doesn't

5163
03:08:31,400 --> 03:08:33,240
cost that much more than the cheaper stuff,

5164
03:08:33,240 --> 03:08:35,300
but as time goes, as they try to

5165
03:08:35,300 --> 03:08:37,200
get more oil out of the olives, they'll

5166
03:08:37,200 --> 03:08:39,600
go to the point where they will extract

5167
03:08:39,600 --> 03:08:41,720
it using a hexane, which is what most

5168
03:08:41,720 --> 03:08:45,700
oils are, most oils you buy are hexane

5169
03:08:45,700 --> 03:08:46,360
extracted.

5170
03:08:46,660 --> 03:08:49,160
You know, I think that you should give

5171
03:08:49,160 --> 03:08:50,680
up on the vinegar book and do an

5172
03:08:50,680 --> 03:08:51,300
oil book.

5173
03:08:51,360 --> 03:08:53,880
You seem to be on point with, and

5174
03:08:53,880 --> 03:08:56,140
by the way, I'm a little, so now

5175
03:08:56,140 --> 03:08:57,860
we have to give this away, because what

5176
03:08:57,860 --> 03:08:59,920
happens is, we went to the winery, Castello

5177
03:08:59,920 --> 03:09:04,760
Verrazano, the guy who discovered the Hudson Bay,

5178
03:09:05,020 --> 03:09:07,400
and the Verrazano Bridge is named after him,

5179
03:09:07,480 --> 03:09:08,960
and then the cannibals ate him in the

5180
03:09:08,960 --> 03:09:10,560
Bahamas, it was a bummer.

5181
03:09:11,540 --> 03:09:12,180
For him.

5182
03:09:12,300 --> 03:09:13,860
For him, it was a bad day, a

5183
03:09:13,860 --> 03:09:14,380
day wrecker.

5184
03:09:15,320 --> 03:09:16,520
But the way it works is, you know,

5185
03:09:16,540 --> 03:09:18,060
they give you, and man, I tell you,

5186
03:09:18,080 --> 03:09:20,140
the Italian winery's like, yeah, you have a

5187
03:09:20,140 --> 03:09:22,460
wine to taste thing, and they give you

5188
03:09:22,460 --> 03:09:24,960
six full-on pours, you're all hammered, luckily

5189
03:09:24,960 --> 03:09:26,940
we had a driver, you're all hammered, and

5190
03:09:26,940 --> 03:09:28,820
they're like, we could send it to Texas,

5191
03:09:29,280 --> 03:09:31,860
or I'll order some, you know, I'm not

5192
03:09:31,860 --> 03:09:33,620
gonna order like a whole bunch, like we

5193
03:09:33,620 --> 03:09:35,920
ordered some wine, just like, you know, a

5194
03:09:35,920 --> 03:09:40,220
couple, and then we ordered vinegar, which they're

5195
03:09:40,220 --> 03:09:42,100
famous for, and then the olive oil, I

5196
03:09:42,100 --> 03:09:43,500
think we got six bottles, so we gotta

5197
03:09:43,500 --> 03:09:45,020
give it away, we'll never use it in

5198
03:09:45,020 --> 03:09:47,140
time, before it goes rancid.

5199
03:09:47,760 --> 03:09:48,780
That's not true.

5200
03:09:49,300 --> 03:09:49,760
The six bottles?

5201
03:09:49,760 --> 03:09:52,300
I don't know how much oil, I plow

5202
03:09:52,300 --> 03:09:55,880
through one of those big, giant, liter and

5203
03:09:55,880 --> 03:09:58,700

day, and I learned something.

5221

I learned that you've known me for 31

5222
