1
00:00:00,230 --> 00:00:02,270
The dog ate the pills.

2
00:00:02,890 --> 00:00:04,250
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,370 --> 00:00:04,830
Dvorak.

4
00:00:04,990 --> 00:00:06,630
It's Sunday, March 2nd, 2025.

5
00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:09,310
It's your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media Assassination

6
00:00:09,310 --> 00:00:10,870
Episode 1743.

7
00:00:11,450 --> 00:00:13,050
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:14,350 --> 00:00:18,190
Wearing our nice suits and broadcasting live from

9
00:00:18,190 --> 00:00:19,970
the heart of the Texas Hill Country here

10
00:00:19,970 --> 00:00:21,610
in FEMA Region Number 6.

11
00:00:21,790 --> 00:00:22,790
Good morning, everybody.

12
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:24,030
I'm Adam Curry.

13
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:27,130
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where everyone's asking,

14
00:00:27,330 --> 00:00:28,790
do you have Oscar fever?

15
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:30,210
I'm John C.

16
00:00:30,290 --> 00:00:30,770
Dvorak.

17
00:00:33,710 --> 00:00:36,010
I'd almost forgotten about the Oscars.

18
00:00:36,070 --> 00:00:36,510
It's tonight.

19
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:37,230
That's right.

20
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:38,050
Forgot about it.

21
00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:40,370
I'm sure there will be an extended dead

22
00:00:40,370 --> 00:00:43,850
segment for Gene Hackman, who, as you know,

23
00:00:44,190 --> 00:00:46,870
was killed because he was about to expose

24
00:00:46,870 --> 00:00:47,910
the Epstein files.

25
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:51,110
I know.

26
00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:53,710
It's so pathetic.

27
00:00:53,710 --> 00:00:55,690
That actually came up?

28
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:56,170
Oh, yeah.

29
00:00:56,250 --> 00:00:56,950
Oh, it's pathetic.

30
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:57,610
Is it thesis?

31
00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:58,150
Oh, yeah.

32
00:00:58,230 --> 00:00:58,350
No.

33
00:00:58,350 --> 00:00:59,010
No, better.

34
00:00:59,090 --> 00:01:00,230
He even put it on X.

35
00:01:00,430 --> 00:01:01,530
Yes, he put it on X.

36
00:01:01,790 --> 00:01:03,730
He said, I'm going to expose the Epstein

37
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:04,209
files.

38
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:06,650
Of course, the font looked a little wonky,

39
00:01:06,810 --> 00:01:08,170
but that just may be me.

40
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:10,850
You know that guy?

41
00:01:11,390 --> 00:01:12,710
Fake tweets are the best.

42
00:01:12,790 --> 00:01:13,450
You know that guy?

43
00:01:13,690 --> 00:01:14,310
Who is he?

44
00:01:14,570 --> 00:01:15,710
He's a British guy.

45
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:18,430
He's kind of like a Stu Peters type

46
00:01:18,430 --> 00:01:18,750
dude.

47
00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:21,830
And he did a 20-minute X post

48
00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:22,170
on it.

49
00:01:22,190 --> 00:01:23,450
Oh, yes, this is what happened.

50
00:01:24,330 --> 00:01:24,690
I don't...

51
00:01:24,690 --> 00:01:27,070
That guy, I hope he gets paid.

52
00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:29,710
Because...

53
00:01:29,710 --> 00:01:30,330
The Stu Peters guy?

54
00:01:30,430 --> 00:01:32,070
No, it's not the Stu Peters guy.

55
00:01:32,270 --> 00:01:35,170
It's some other dude.

56
00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:37,790
Come on, showroom.

57
00:01:37,890 --> 00:01:39,090
You can help Adam here.

58
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:40,130
He's thinking of someone.

59
00:01:40,270 --> 00:01:41,150
You must know who it is.

60
00:01:41,170 --> 00:01:42,370
I can't remember who the guy is.

61
00:01:42,370 --> 00:01:43,610
I don't know who the guy you're talking

62
00:01:43,610 --> 00:01:43,830
about.

63
00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:46,530
Well, when you hear people...

64
00:01:46,530 --> 00:01:47,010
Piers Morgan?

65
00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:50,490
People have sent you links from this guy

66
00:01:50,490 --> 00:01:51,950
and you're always like, don't you ever dare

67
00:01:51,950 --> 00:01:52,970
send us that again.

68
00:01:53,470 --> 00:01:56,330
Oh, that guy who's always talking sideways to

69
00:01:56,330 --> 00:01:56,810
the camera?

70
00:01:56,970 --> 00:01:57,650
Yeah, exactly.

71
00:01:57,650 --> 00:01:58,810
See, I knew you'd know who I was

72
00:01:58,810 --> 00:01:59,390
talking about.

73
00:01:59,510 --> 00:01:59,910
That guy.

74
00:02:00,110 --> 00:02:00,790
Yeah, that guy.

75
00:02:01,390 --> 00:02:02,490
He's all over it.

76
00:02:02,650 --> 00:02:02,870
He's the worst.

77
00:02:03,150 --> 00:02:04,250
He's all over it.

78
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:05,590
Oh, yeah.

79
00:02:05,790 --> 00:02:07,550
But just wonder, it's like, does he have

80
00:02:07,550 --> 00:02:09,030
ad money or...

81
00:02:09,030 --> 00:02:10,050
He's got to have something.

82
00:02:11,630 --> 00:02:12,690
Here, Gene Hackman.

83
00:02:12,850 --> 00:02:13,830
I am ready...

84
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:15,290
Here, Gene Hackman, X post.

85
00:02:16,410 --> 00:02:17,910
On February 24th.

86
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:18,750
Makes nothing but sense.

87
00:02:19,090 --> 00:02:21,150
I'm ready to corroborate everything in the Epstein

88
00:02:21,150 --> 00:02:23,230
client list and to put Bill Clinton and

89
00:02:23,230 --> 00:02:25,070
others in prison if it's the last thing

90
00:02:25,070 --> 00:02:25,610
I do.

91
00:02:25,970 --> 00:02:26,650
And then it...

92
00:02:26,650 --> 00:02:27,390
Here, this is the guy.

93
00:02:27,390 --> 00:02:29,750
The news hits like a gut punch this

94
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:30,030
week.

95
00:02:30,170 --> 00:02:30,630
That guy.

96
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:33,210
Gene Hackman, the old school Hollywood legend of

97
00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:35,910
the French connection, Unforgiven and Superman, gone.

98
00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:36,330
Gone.

99
00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:39,790
Does that guy have a lopsided face?

100
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:41,810
Why doesn't he face the camera?

101
00:02:42,050 --> 00:02:43,050
He might have a lopsided...

102
00:02:43,050 --> 00:02:44,710
He's always cocked one way or the other.

103
00:02:44,870 --> 00:02:47,010
He's never like looking at the camera.

104
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:48,950
He's like looking over to the side and

105
00:02:48,950 --> 00:02:50,310
then is askance.

106
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:51,530
What is that?

107
00:02:51,590 --> 00:02:52,630
What is that style?

108
00:02:52,770 --> 00:02:54,970
Adam is at home alongside his wife and

109
00:02:54,970 --> 00:02:56,150
one of their three dogs.

110
00:02:56,270 --> 00:02:56,570
Oh, no.

111
00:02:56,570 --> 00:02:57,850
A tragedy, sure.

112
00:02:58,270 --> 00:02:59,050
But the details?

113
00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:01,830
They're so twisted, even the mainstream media can't

114
00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:02,470
whitewash it.

115
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:04,810
Oh, even the mainstream media can't whitewash it.

116
00:03:04,890 --> 00:03:05,350
This is great.

117
00:03:05,650 --> 00:03:05,750
Wow.

118
00:03:05,790 --> 00:03:06,330
This is good.

119
00:03:06,850 --> 00:03:07,810
Something is off.

120
00:03:07,890 --> 00:03:08,630
Something's off.

121
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:09,050
Way off.

122
00:03:09,050 --> 00:03:11,370
And the media are barely scratching the surface.

123
00:03:11,410 --> 00:03:12,010
Why would they?

124
00:03:12,050 --> 00:03:13,590
Here's what the media won't tell you.

125
00:03:13,590 --> 00:03:13,910
Okay.

126
00:03:14,170 --> 00:03:16,310
Gene Hackman wasn't some retired millionaire kicking back

127
00:03:16,310 --> 00:03:16,890
in New Mexico.

128
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:17,330
No.

129
00:03:17,450 --> 00:03:19,310
He was neighbors with Jeffrey Epstein.

130
00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:19,810
Oh.

131
00:03:19,930 --> 00:03:20,890
Yes, that's Epstein.

132
00:03:24,350 --> 00:03:27,630
Well, I mean, his timing's a bit off

133
00:03:27,630 --> 00:03:33,570
because Pam Bondi's botched release has been kind

134
00:03:33,570 --> 00:03:36,910
of snowed under by other things taking place

135
00:03:36,910 --> 00:03:37,530
in Washington.

136
00:03:39,370 --> 00:03:41,050
Just on that for a moment.

137
00:03:42,270 --> 00:03:42,930
On Bondi?

138
00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:44,390
No, on Bondi.

139
00:03:44,450 --> 00:03:45,450
How does that?

140
00:03:45,690 --> 00:03:50,310
She had influencers and gave them all binders.

141
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:53,910
Binders with old bunk.

142
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:56,630
It's the same old stuff, yeah.

143
00:03:56,890 --> 00:03:58,790
But how does that even happen?

144
00:03:58,850 --> 00:03:59,710
I don't understand.

145
00:04:00,570 --> 00:04:02,450
I mean, that's a huge botch.

146
00:04:03,690 --> 00:04:06,290
Someone tried to screw her or tried to

147
00:04:06,290 --> 00:04:06,510
screw.

148
00:04:06,850 --> 00:04:08,290
Well, that's what she claims.

149
00:04:08,650 --> 00:04:10,550
I mean, did she not look at the

150
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:11,130
binders?

151
00:04:11,850 --> 00:04:13,590
Let me just double check for a second

152
00:04:13,590 --> 00:04:15,890
before I hand out these binders.

153
00:04:17,610 --> 00:04:18,370
Of course.

154
00:04:18,570 --> 00:04:19,930
I have a clip of something that was

155
00:04:19,930 --> 00:04:21,170
similar to this kind of thing.

156
00:04:21,290 --> 00:04:22,990
This seems to be, I think, a theme.

157
00:04:23,750 --> 00:04:25,470
This Tom Fitton thing.

158
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:29,130
What about this new series of clips called

159
00:04:29,130 --> 00:04:30,950
BTS behind the scenes?

160
00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:33,810
People bitching about, you know, the promises not

161
00:04:33,810 --> 00:04:34,990
being kept or whatever.

162
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:38,130
Listen, this is similar to the Bondi thing.

163
00:04:38,430 --> 00:04:39,630
I'm looking for behind.

164
00:04:39,730 --> 00:04:40,270
Oh, here it is.

165
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:40,690
BTS.

166
00:04:41,070 --> 00:04:41,170
I got you.

167
00:04:41,250 --> 00:04:41,610
I got you.

168
00:04:41,650 --> 00:04:42,930
And then, of course, we have to pressure

169
00:04:42,930 --> 00:04:45,270
the Trump administration because, as I said, there

170
00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:46,870
are some agents, you know, they just can't

171
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:47,950
help but move slowly.

172
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:51,290
And you may recall Joe Biden was interviewed

173
00:04:51,290 --> 00:04:54,310
by the special counsel and the special counsel

174
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:57,270
released a transcript that was edited as we

175
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:57,670
uncovered.

176
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:00,990
And the transcript wasn't enough.

177
00:05:01,030 --> 00:05:02,710
In our view, there was an audio tape

178
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:04,250
and then should have been released of Joe

179
00:05:04,250 --> 00:05:04,590
Biden.

180
00:05:05,530 --> 00:05:08,270
And so what happened is that we sued

181
00:05:08,270 --> 00:05:11,650
and there's the Biden people came up with

182
00:05:11,650 --> 00:05:12,730
60 different reasons.

183
00:05:12,890 --> 00:05:16,070
I'm exaggerating, obviously, to withhold this information from

184
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:16,310
us.

185
00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:19,030
And so the court just a week or

186
00:05:19,030 --> 00:05:21,530
so ago asked the Biden, asked the Trump

187
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:24,510
Justice Department, hey, hey, there's a there's a

188
00:05:24,510 --> 00:05:25,570
new boss in town.

189
00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:27,430
What's your position on this?

190
00:05:27,730 --> 00:05:29,490
And rather than just say, oh, we want

191
00:05:29,490 --> 00:05:30,970
to release the tapes, they said, well, we

192
00:05:30,970 --> 00:05:32,930
need till May 20th to figure out what

193
00:05:32,930 --> 00:05:33,350
to do.

194
00:05:33,950 --> 00:05:35,450
That's frustrating, isn't it?

195
00:05:35,470 --> 00:05:35,970
Wait a minute.

196
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:37,130
What what tapes?

197
00:05:38,530 --> 00:05:41,690
Do you remember when Biden gave the deposition

198
00:05:41,690 --> 00:05:46,170
to the investigator before Congress and said, well,

199
00:05:46,210 --> 00:05:48,130
the guy is such a dumb, he's such

200
00:05:48,130 --> 00:05:49,970
a dumb old man that, you know, there's

201
00:05:49,970 --> 00:05:51,330
no way we can convict him.

202
00:05:51,470 --> 00:05:52,350
So we're going to let it slide.

203
00:05:52,650 --> 00:05:53,750
We can't put him on the stand.

204
00:05:53,850 --> 00:05:54,590
He's too feeble.

205
00:05:54,670 --> 00:05:55,830
I think something like that.

206
00:05:55,890 --> 00:05:56,850
Yes, I do remember.

207
00:05:57,670 --> 00:05:59,530
And then they said, well, let's listen to

208
00:05:59,530 --> 00:06:01,610
the tapes, because they figured the tapes, if

209
00:06:01,610 --> 00:06:03,390
you could hear what Biden was doing, then

210
00:06:03,390 --> 00:06:05,550
it would have, you know, kept him from

211
00:06:05,550 --> 00:06:07,790
getting reelected because he was still in the

212
00:06:07,790 --> 00:06:08,070
running.

213
00:06:09,610 --> 00:06:11,290
And of course, it happened that way anyway.

214
00:06:11,450 --> 00:06:13,090
But beside the point, they wanted to hear

215
00:06:13,090 --> 00:06:13,610
these tapes.

216
00:06:13,610 --> 00:06:15,710
No, we'll give you a transcript instead.

217
00:06:15,910 --> 00:06:17,170
And the transcript was edited.

218
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:19,390
And so they start working on getting the

219
00:06:19,390 --> 00:06:20,170
tapes released.

220
00:06:20,270 --> 00:06:21,890
And now that Trump got in, they figure,

221
00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:22,670
well, here we go.

222
00:06:22,730 --> 00:06:23,750
We get to listen to the tapes.

223
00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:25,010
At least we get to listen to the

224
00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:25,430
tapes.

225
00:06:25,790 --> 00:06:26,510
And no.

226
00:06:28,370 --> 00:06:28,770
Yeah.

227
00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:33,490
So there's a lot of blockage, blockage.

228
00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:38,590
I was listening to Joe Rogan talking to

229
00:06:38,590 --> 00:06:41,630
Elon Musk because he had Elon back on,

230
00:06:41,710 --> 00:06:42,470
which makes no sense.

231
00:06:42,470 --> 00:06:43,930
I saw parts of that was good.

232
00:06:44,310 --> 00:06:44,530
Yeah.

233
00:06:44,650 --> 00:06:46,690
And well, what Elon said is, well, imagine

234
00:06:46,690 --> 00:06:49,130
that, you know, you're, everyone hates you and

235
00:06:49,130 --> 00:06:51,450
you're going in and then everyone is working

236
00:06:51,450 --> 00:06:53,910
against you, I guess, but that's, it's still

237
00:06:53,910 --> 00:06:54,750
inexcusable.

238
00:06:55,910 --> 00:06:57,530
She lied on Jesse Waters.

239
00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:59,110
I'm just going to hold on to that.

240
00:06:59,270 --> 00:07:01,510
I'm happy to change my opinion on Pam

241
00:07:01,510 --> 00:07:01,850
Bondi.

242
00:07:01,910 --> 00:07:04,250
But right now she is nil, nil.

243
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:06,800
She's what?

244
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:07,920
Nil, nil.

245
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,860
You mean like a soccer game?

246
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:10,720
Yes, exactly.

247
00:07:11,380 --> 00:07:11,820
Nil.

248
00:07:11,940 --> 00:07:12,760
She has nil.

249
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:13,780
Negative one.

250
00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:14,840
Negative one.

251
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,140
This was not good.

252
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,720
That's not your first out of the gate.

253
00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:19,640
Here we go, everybody.

254
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:21,080
The Epstein files are going to drop.

255
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,900
Well, it was her fault.

256
00:07:23,180 --> 00:07:23,480
Yes.

257
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:24,460
Yeah, it was bad.

258
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,700
Instead of being a hot shot on Jesse

259
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:29,760
Waters, she gets on the show as much

260
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:30,640
as she wants to.

261
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,260
Yeah, because Jesse has her number.

262
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:32,980
They text.

263
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,420
Well, Jesse has her.

264
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:35,780
Yes, he has her text number.

265
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,720
But Jesse always, Jesse has a very, his

266
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,040
story, not Jesse, but his producers have a

267
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,980
very good sense of photogeneity or actually telegeneity.

268
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,220
They bring on a lot of pretty women.

269
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,440
And more than the other shows in general.

270
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,180
You're telling me that Pam Bondi was a

271
00:07:54,180 --> 00:07:56,040
DEI hire because she's pretty?

272
00:07:58,020 --> 00:07:58,380
Yeah.

273
00:07:58,580 --> 00:08:00,520
Actually, now you're thinking in those terms.

274
00:08:01,330 --> 00:08:02,460
I mean, she's 60.

275
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:04,320
So she's held up a little.

276
00:08:04,580 --> 00:08:06,040
She's my age, 60?

277
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:06,980
Yeah.

278
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:07,680
Really?

279
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:11,420
You can look her up, 59 maybe.

280
00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:13,620
But she's basically 60.

281
00:08:17,020 --> 00:08:17,820
And she...

282
00:08:18,380 --> 00:08:19,220
Yeah, 59.

283
00:08:20,020 --> 00:08:22,180
She is very telegenic.

284
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:22,540
Yes.

285
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,960
I don't know how she looks like in

286
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,400
person.

287
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,780
I guess she doesn't look that good.

288
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,860
We know because our producer said she looks

289
00:08:28,860 --> 00:08:30,200
like Merle Haggard in a wig.

290
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,179
So I can't get out of my head.

291
00:08:32,179 --> 00:08:33,440
But that's the thing about it.

292
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,080
You know, you're either, you're telegenic.

293
00:08:35,179 --> 00:08:37,140
I mean, you can be, you know, beautiful

294
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:38,000
in different ways.

295
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:39,740
I can't get, it's hard to get out

296
00:08:39,740 --> 00:08:40,200
of my head.

297
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:43,159
Merle Haggard in a wig is tough, man.

298
00:08:43,260 --> 00:08:44,440
That's a tough thing to let go of.

299
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,160
So I'm sure that, I mean, you and

300
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,320
I never speak during the week.

301
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,320
Maybe an email or something innocuous.

302
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:52,760
Maybe you forward something funny.

303
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,360
Rarely.

304
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,020
Rarely.

305
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,060
I'm sure we probably had the same idea

306
00:08:57,060 --> 00:08:59,280
for our deconstruction of what took place in

307
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,040
the Oval Office.

308
00:09:00,220 --> 00:09:02,540
But this morning we got breaking news, breaking

309
00:09:02,540 --> 00:09:02,900
news.

310
00:09:03,380 --> 00:09:05,220
And I mean, I have clips of all

311
00:09:05,220 --> 00:09:08,520
the meetings that went on and Zelensky in

312
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:08,940
the UK.

313
00:09:08,940 --> 00:09:11,800
And, you know, we can back into it.

314
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,480
But I think what UK Prime Minister Starmer

315
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,420
did this morning kind of sums up what

316
00:09:18,420 --> 00:09:20,100
we both thought was about to happen.

317
00:09:20,140 --> 00:09:20,720
Would you agree?

318
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,000
I'm not sure, but probably.

319
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,760
I'm guessing there's, because you saw the newsletter

320
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,460
and I have a lot of my thoughts

321
00:09:30,460 --> 00:09:31,060
in there.

322
00:09:31,660 --> 00:09:33,940
A lot of it's based on some input

323
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:37,440
I got locally from Lib Joe.

324
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:38,100
Lib Joe's?

325
00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:38,940
Well, stop.

326
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:39,920
Stop this show.

327
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,320
Well, not the normal Lib Joe's.

328
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,280
We get different.

329
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:44,620
Wait, you have new Lib Joe's?

330
00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:47,300
Well, one Lib Joe's a temp.

331
00:09:48,380 --> 00:09:50,520
What do you mean a temp?

332
00:09:50,940 --> 00:09:52,100
Working at the Washington Post?

333
00:09:52,940 --> 00:09:55,240
Hey, Uber drivers know what they're talking about.

334
00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:57,840
The Uber drivers are very good information.

335
00:09:58,580 --> 00:09:59,480
Yeah, I don't know.

336
00:09:59,760 --> 00:09:59,900
Yeah.

337
00:10:00,140 --> 00:10:02,700
And the other one's an old friend of

338
00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:04,500
mine who's a big shot.

339
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,240
Big shot.

340
00:10:05,260 --> 00:10:06,420
Who's also a liberal.

341
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:09,420
In the publishing world by any chance?

342
00:10:09,420 --> 00:10:10,880
Yes, in the publishing world.

343
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:11,860
All right, then I have thoughts.

344
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:12,660
Yes, that's good.

345
00:10:12,980 --> 00:10:15,540
That's a qualified source.

346
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,600
But it's still knee-jerk Democrat.

347
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:23,000
I think it was largely expressed.

348
00:10:23,140 --> 00:10:24,540
I do have a clip from, I think

349
00:10:24,540 --> 00:10:28,980
the best exemplification of this is the twerp

350
00:10:28,980 --> 00:10:30,220
came on one of the shows.

351
00:10:30,580 --> 00:10:32,680
We have the same clips.

352
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:33,920
You have the twerp?

353
00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:35,060
I have the twerp.

354
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:36,600
Yeah, hold on a second.

355
00:10:36,860 --> 00:10:38,620
I have two clips by the twerp.

356
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,380
She was on, the twerp was on with

357
00:10:42,380 --> 00:10:44,320
- She's the worst, this woman.

358
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,660
But she exemplifies what these people are thinking.

359
00:10:48,220 --> 00:10:51,420
Well, the interesting thing, and I'll play the

360
00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:51,640
clip.

361
00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:53,680
Now we're beating around the bush and the

362
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,660
producers are going, what the hell are these

363
00:10:56,660 --> 00:10:56,980
guys?

364
00:10:57,060 --> 00:10:58,080
Who's the twerp?

365
00:10:58,180 --> 00:11:00,160
Well, first of all, I think we both

366
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,580
agree that what the president and the vice

367
00:11:02,580 --> 00:11:06,080
president did was predetermine they were going to

368
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:06,940
undress this guy.

369
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:09,700
That's what it seemed like to me.

370
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,460
I can't, here's the one piece of evidence

371
00:11:13,460 --> 00:11:15,320
when I got into an argument with the

372
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:15,940
publisher.

373
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:16,960
Yeah.

374
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,460
It was, his comeback was kind of, I

375
00:11:21,460 --> 00:11:23,080
couldn't beat this comeback.

376
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,060
He says, oh really?

377
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,500
Well, then where was the signing table?

378
00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:28,120
Why didn't they just do it, open up

379
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,260
the press conference, they had the signing table

380
00:11:30,260 --> 00:11:31,940
with the document right in front of him,

381
00:11:31,980 --> 00:11:33,420
signed, that's what they always do.

382
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:36,120
There's always a signing table so they can

383
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:36,920
sign the document.

384
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:37,780
The deal.

385
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,640
And you know, what was the point of

386
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,020
this rest of this crap?

387
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,480
Where's the signing table?

388
00:11:42,540 --> 00:11:43,320
The signing table.

389
00:11:43,420 --> 00:11:44,940
I'm, oh, the signing table.

390
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:47,680
No, because they knew that Zelensky wasn't going

391
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:48,240
to sign.

392
00:11:48,380 --> 00:11:50,200
So they were like, okay, well, we'll bring

393
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,240
you into the Oval Office.

394
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,980
And for me, the clue was the journalist

395
00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:56,420
in the blue suit jacket.

396
00:11:57,180 --> 00:11:58,160
I love that guy.

397
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,820
Because I have that clip too.

398
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:01,660
Yeah, I don't know who that guy is.

399
00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:04,240
Now we've created a puzzle for the audience.

400
00:12:04,700 --> 00:12:06,840
Let me play the blue suit jacket guy.

401
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,340
Well, wait, let's start.

402
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,620
Okay, well, this is the part I'm going

403
00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:13,980
to explain to the people out there listening.

404
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,000
The two of us are beating around the

405
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,260
bush, because neither one of us know exactly

406
00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:21,240
how we should start this discussion.

407
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,280
I think we, I think we start with

408
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,020
the blue suit.

409
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,140
Go to the twerp and then start.

410
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,040
Well, if you're going to start with the

411
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,600
blue suit, I think you should predate that

412
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,720
and go to Trump in the greeting where

413
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,280
he ridicules Zelensky for not wearing a suit

414
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:33,880
at the beginning.

415
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:34,820
Do we have that clip?

416
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:35,700
Do you have that one?

417
00:12:35,740 --> 00:12:36,520
I didn't clip that one.

418
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,800
I didn't clip it either.

419
00:12:38,020 --> 00:12:39,840
The reason why, well, so yeah.

420
00:12:39,940 --> 00:12:42,460
So Zelensky rolls up in the car and

421
00:12:42,460 --> 00:12:45,600
President Trump, late, and President Trump is there

422
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,160
to greet him.

423
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,460
He says, oh, look, he dressed up.

424
00:12:47,980 --> 00:12:49,200
That was pretty much, it was like an

425
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,140
eight second clip.

426
00:12:50,540 --> 00:12:52,280
But this guy, I don't know who he

427
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,140
works for, but he was left with the

428
00:12:54,140 --> 00:12:54,440
president.

429
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:57,040
The president turns to him, has to swivel

430
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,440
all the way around.

431
00:12:58,940 --> 00:13:01,900
The guy has some dumb question first.

432
00:13:01,940 --> 00:13:03,200
And then the president says, oh, you had

433
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,020
a second question?

434
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,360
That's felt set up to me, especially because,

435
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,720
who is this guy in the blue suit?

436
00:13:09,940 --> 00:13:11,740
That would not have been a good situation.

437
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,700
What was your second question?

438
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:15,600
My second question for President Zelensky, do you

439
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,980
ever, why don't you wear a suit?

440
00:13:18,380 --> 00:13:19,720
Why don't you wear a suit?

441
00:13:19,780 --> 00:13:22,360
You're the highest level in this country's office

442
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,920
and you refuse to wear a suit.

443
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:25,860
Just want to see if you own a

444
00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:26,060
suit?

445
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,380
Yeah, I have problems.

446
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,960
A lot of Americans have problems with you

447
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,880
not respecting the dignity of this office.

448
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,280
I will wear a costume after this war

449
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:35,900
will finish.

450
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,100
Yes.

451
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,620
Maybe something like yours.

452
00:13:40,980 --> 00:13:41,100
Yes.

453
00:13:41,380 --> 00:13:42,820
Maybe something better.

454
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:43,840
I don't know.

455
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:44,980
We will see.

456
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,400
Maybe something cheaper.

457
00:13:47,420 --> 00:13:48,860
Thank you.

458
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:54,140
Now, the way I see that, that guy

459
00:13:54,140 --> 00:13:55,660
was a shill.

460
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,660
The entire point was to rile up Zelensky,

461
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:00,960
which he did.

462
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,060
Because if you listen to what Zelensky is

463
00:14:04,060 --> 00:14:06,200
saying, he's like, oh, maybe I won't wear

464
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:06,920
one like that.

465
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,900
Maybe it'll be cheaper.

466
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:12,200
So he was already a little bit annoyed.

467
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,580
And Trump afterwards complimented the guy.

468
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,480
Trump made some comment about the question.

469
00:14:18,820 --> 00:14:19,500
Good job.

470
00:14:19,580 --> 00:14:20,620
Good job, Jeeves.

471
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,260
And it was, yes, this looked like a

472
00:14:24,260 --> 00:14:25,260
staged event.

473
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,620
And the thing that still is somewhat baffling

474
00:14:29,620 --> 00:14:31,860
is the, and I think we can try

475
00:14:31,860 --> 00:14:34,220
to analyze this, was the fact that Rubio,

476
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,980
who was not given a part in the

477
00:14:35,980 --> 00:14:40,420
play and didn't have any lines, so he

478
00:14:40,420 --> 00:14:41,420
didn't get scale.

479
00:14:43,620 --> 00:14:46,700
He sat there in a grumpy, kind of

480
00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:47,820
just in a grump mode.

481
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:48,880
He had one, he had one line.

482
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:49,080
He did.

483
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,520
They gave him one throwaway line.

484
00:14:50,660 --> 00:14:51,260
He had one line.

485
00:14:51,340 --> 00:14:53,080
I don't remember, what was his line?

486
00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:54,740
It was a throwaway line.

487
00:14:54,740 --> 00:14:57,280
But if we, okay, let's just step back

488
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,880
for a second, because everything that happened was

489
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,960
pre-told by Rubio in the Pixie Girl

490
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:05,960
interview, Catherine Heritage.

491
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,180
Right, which we played last couple shows.

492
00:15:07,180 --> 00:15:08,320
Well, let me just, I'm going to play

493
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,920
that part again so you can hear it,

494
00:15:09,940 --> 00:15:12,680
because now in context of what took place,

495
00:15:12,740 --> 00:15:13,920
like, wow, you hear everything.

496
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,220
And I have to mention as an aside,

497
00:15:16,620 --> 00:15:19,900
have you seen the size of Marco Rubio's

498
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:20,260
ears?

499
00:15:22,490 --> 00:15:23,370
I haven't noticed.

500
00:15:23,370 --> 00:15:28,170
They are, like, they're bigger than Granholm's saucers.

501
00:15:29,530 --> 00:15:31,210
You take a look, go look at a

502
00:15:31,210 --> 00:15:32,970
picture, and you'll go, wow, as I play

503
00:15:32,970 --> 00:15:33,390
this clip.

504
00:15:33,570 --> 00:15:35,690
I think President Trump is very upset at

505
00:15:35,690 --> 00:15:38,570
President Zelensky, in some cases, and rightfully so.

506
00:15:38,830 --> 00:15:41,050
Look, number one, Joe Biden had frustrations with

507
00:15:41,050 --> 00:15:41,410
Zelensky.

508
00:15:41,530 --> 00:15:42,450
People shouldn't forget it.

509
00:15:42,490 --> 00:15:44,870
There are newspaper articles out there about how

510
00:15:44,870 --> 00:15:46,210
he cursed at him in a phone call.

511
00:15:46,390 --> 00:15:50,050
This clip resurfaced, and it resurfaced, an old

512
00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:53,310
clip from MSNBC, and people on X are

513
00:15:53,310 --> 00:15:54,830
going, oh, they tried to hide this.

514
00:15:54,950 --> 00:15:55,970
It wasn't all that hidden.

515
00:15:56,210 --> 00:15:57,990
Because Zelensky, instead of saying thank you for

516
00:15:57,990 --> 00:16:00,450
all your help, is immediately out there messaging

517
00:16:00,450 --> 00:16:02,290
what we're not doing or what he's not

518
00:16:02,290 --> 00:16:02,550
getting.

519
00:16:03,010 --> 00:16:04,550
I think the second thing is, frankly, I

520
00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:06,330
was personally very upset, because we had a

521
00:16:06,330 --> 00:16:09,310
conversation with President Zelensky, the vice president and

522
00:16:09,310 --> 00:16:11,290
I, the two, three of us, and we

523
00:16:11,290 --> 00:16:13,110
discussed this issue about the mineral rights.

524
00:16:13,130 --> 00:16:14,910
And we explained to them, look, we want

525
00:16:14,910 --> 00:16:16,210
to be in joint venture with you, not

526
00:16:16,210 --> 00:16:17,790
because we're trying to steal from your country,

527
00:16:18,090 --> 00:16:19,930
but because we think that's actually a security

528
00:16:19,930 --> 00:16:20,390
guarantee.

529
00:16:20,390 --> 00:16:23,130
If we're your partner in an important economic

530
00:16:23,130 --> 00:16:25,330
endeavor, we get to get paid back some

531
00:16:25,330 --> 00:16:27,130
of the money the taxpayers have given, close

532
00:16:27,130 --> 00:16:27,870
to $200 billion.

533
00:16:29,190 --> 00:16:31,630
And it also, now we have a vested

534
00:16:31,630 --> 00:16:33,090
interest in the security of Ukraine.

535
00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:33,870
All right.

536
00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:36,330
So that's exactly what you even said at

537
00:16:36,330 --> 00:16:36,830
the time.

538
00:16:37,310 --> 00:16:38,790
And so all of this was known.

539
00:16:39,170 --> 00:16:40,270
They didn't like the guy.

540
00:16:40,650 --> 00:16:42,610
The guy was irritating them.

541
00:16:42,730 --> 00:16:44,670
I should bring in one extra dimension.

542
00:16:44,770 --> 00:16:45,870
I don't have the clip of it, but

543
00:16:45,870 --> 00:16:49,210
Scott Besson came on with Laura Ingraham, Frau

544
00:16:49,210 --> 00:16:49,630
Ingraham.

545
00:16:50,530 --> 00:16:52,490
And Besson, who was secretary of the treasury,

546
00:16:52,650 --> 00:16:55,590
I think, who met with Zelensky.

547
00:16:55,690 --> 00:16:57,410
Remember, he went over there by himself?

548
00:16:58,090 --> 00:16:58,370
Yeah, yeah.

549
00:16:58,470 --> 00:17:00,470
And Zelensky wasn't there for him.

550
00:17:00,490 --> 00:17:01,090
He was sleeping.

551
00:17:01,930 --> 00:17:04,130
Well, Zelensky did meet with him after he

552
00:17:04,130 --> 00:17:04,750
woke up.

553
00:17:05,710 --> 00:17:07,470
And he said he was going to do

554
00:17:07,470 --> 00:17:07,810
a deal.

555
00:17:07,910 --> 00:17:08,589
He was going to do a deal.

556
00:17:08,690 --> 00:17:09,690
Then he said he wasn't going to do

557
00:17:09,690 --> 00:17:09,790
it.

558
00:17:10,450 --> 00:17:13,130
That was the prelude to, it turns out,

559
00:17:13,230 --> 00:17:15,190
the prelude to Rubio.

560
00:17:16,109 --> 00:17:17,990
And so in other words, Besson went there,

561
00:17:18,069 --> 00:17:19,290
tried to start that deal.

562
00:17:20,390 --> 00:17:21,290
Fell apart.

563
00:17:21,710 --> 00:17:24,790
And after kind of a phony baloney discussion,

564
00:17:24,790 --> 00:17:26,290
because he wasn't, wouldn't have gone in the

565
00:17:26,290 --> 00:17:26,849
first place.

566
00:17:27,230 --> 00:17:29,470
So the second go round, it seems to

567
00:17:29,470 --> 00:17:30,230
be Rubio.

568
00:17:30,510 --> 00:17:32,570
And so you have a double teamed him

569
00:17:32,570 --> 00:17:34,010
with Rubio and the vice president.

570
00:17:34,010 --> 00:17:37,150
And the third go round is now Trump,

571
00:17:37,550 --> 00:17:39,410
Rubio and the vice president.

572
00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:41,550
And that didn't work out.

573
00:17:41,550 --> 00:17:42,350
So would that.

574
00:17:42,670 --> 00:17:44,450
So this was a setup.

575
00:17:44,710 --> 00:17:45,530
I'll play the twerp.

576
00:17:45,630 --> 00:17:48,530
And Susan Rice correctly identifies that it was

577
00:17:48,530 --> 00:17:48,970
a setup.

578
00:17:48,970 --> 00:17:51,950
But of course, it's because Putin.

579
00:17:52,370 --> 00:17:55,130
Well, Nicole Putin, obviously, it's a very sad

580
00:17:55,130 --> 00:17:58,170
day and an embarrassment for the United States

581
00:17:58,170 --> 00:17:59,450
on the world stage.

582
00:17:59,950 --> 00:18:02,050
Just for why does she come out of

583
00:18:02,050 --> 00:18:03,110
the woodwork all of a sudden?

584
00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:04,510
You have to question this.

585
00:18:05,550 --> 00:18:06,850
Who does she work for now?

586
00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:11,940
This is a good question.

587
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:14,540
I was thinking about this, too, which is

588
00:18:14,540 --> 00:18:16,280
why as out of the blue, we haven't

589
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,240
heard from this woman.

590
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,000
And we for people out there, we generally

591
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,960
call her the twerp because she's a very

592
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,080
gnome like little character who is who is

593
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,840
a creep and small and a twerp.

594
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,680
And she comes out of the blue here.

595
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,760
I have no idea.

596
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,500
It's got to be the industrial complex.

597
00:18:40,660 --> 00:18:42,420
She's not working for the USA.

598
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:43,160
That's for sure.

599
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,660
Because in this clip, you're going to hear

600
00:18:46,660 --> 00:18:47,480
what comes up.

601
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,420
She's going to say that this deal was

602
00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:52,400
not favorable to Ukraine.

603
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,920
So it was a bad deal.

604
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,100
She is a research fellow at the School

605
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:01,840
of International Service at American University.

606
00:19:02,660 --> 00:19:06,960
And as of 2018, she's been on the

607
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,400
board of directors of Netflix.

608
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,740
It's probably how Obama probably got her in

609
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:11,960
there.

610
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,600
And she's the director of domestic of the

611
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,640
Domestic Policy Council.

612
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,700
Whatever that is another scam.

613
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:21,320
Here we go.

614
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,320
Let's step back and analyze what's happened here.

615
00:19:24,620 --> 00:19:27,280
I think there's no question that this was

616
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:27,840
a setup.

617
00:19:28,060 --> 00:19:29,560
You heard Donald Trump say at the end

618
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,620
of that clip he played.

619
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:31,820
This is great television.

620
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,680
This was a setup Vladimir.

621
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,000
I mean, excuse me.

622
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:38,120
I love how she messes up Vladimir with

623
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:40,180
Vladimir because she's so used to saying Putin,

624
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:40,900
Putin, Putin.

625
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:41,820
This was a setup.

626
00:19:42,180 --> 00:19:43,800
It was on her mind.

627
00:19:44,060 --> 00:19:44,160
Yeah.

628
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:44,420
Oh, yeah.

629
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,500
I mean, excuse me.

630
00:19:46,180 --> 00:19:52,220
Vladimir Zelensky was compelled to agree to a

631
00:19:52,220 --> 00:19:56,820
horrible deal that would have sent Ukraine's minerals

632
00:19:56,820 --> 00:20:01,120
to the United States without any concrete security

633
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:01,700
guarantee.

634
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,520
It's a horrible deal for who?

635
00:20:04,860 --> 00:20:05,640
Not for us.

636
00:20:06,380 --> 00:20:08,500
Whose side is she on?

637
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:09,940
Well, we don't know.

638
00:20:09,940 --> 00:20:12,240
Probably on the side of the globalists in

639
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:12,560
Europe.

640
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,360
Guarantees.

641
00:20:14,020 --> 00:20:17,200
And yet, because he was trying to improve

642
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,220
a relationship with Donald Trump, he came to

643
00:20:19,220 --> 00:20:19,620
Washington.

644
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,620
He came to the Oval Office and sat

645
00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:23,380
down for a meeting.

646
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,260
Hat in hand.

647
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:25,460
Hat in hand.

648
00:20:25,580 --> 00:20:26,220
That's my favorite.

649
00:20:26,860 --> 00:20:28,260
There was no hat in hand.

650
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,880
No, he was all riled up.

651
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,240
And soon after he got there, the vice

652
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,780
president of the United States lit into him

653
00:20:36,780 --> 00:20:38,900
and started a confrontation.

654
00:20:39,340 --> 00:20:42,440
Now, I've been in countless Oval Office meetings

655
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,020
with heads of state, presidents and vice presidents

656
00:20:45,020 --> 00:20:47,900
as national security advisors, UN ambassador and in

657
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:48,480
other roles.

658
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,880
I can tell you that the vice president

659
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,840
or the secretary of state or anybody else,

660
00:20:53,140 --> 00:20:56,320
they don't jump in, hijack a conversation without

661
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,020
the express blessing of the president of the

662
00:20:59,020 --> 00:20:59,500
United States.

663
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,460
So JD Vance did that deliberately.

664
00:21:02,940 --> 00:21:04,260
Donald Trump knew what he was going to

665
00:21:04,260 --> 00:21:04,520
do.

666
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,160
And I think, as he said at the

667
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,140
end, because he can't help himself.

668
00:21:08,140 --> 00:21:09,960
This was a setup for the cameras.

669
00:21:10,220 --> 00:21:12,520
It was a play to his base.

670
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,560
But above all, it was a play to

671
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:20,060
Vladimir Putin, to Vladimir Putin and to try

672
00:21:20,060 --> 00:21:21,580
to humiliate Zelensky.

673
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,740
But Zelensky didn't play along with the script,

674
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,760
because Zelensky's got dignity and guts.

675
00:21:26,940 --> 00:21:30,880
And Zelensky has people that he democratically represents.

676
00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:33,540
And as- No, no, no, no.

677
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,380
It's under martial law.

678
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,420
There's almost been a year since they've had

679
00:21:37,420 --> 00:21:37,820
elections.

680
00:21:37,820 --> 00:21:38,300
No.

681
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:41,600
He couldn't sit there in silence as lies

682
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,160
were being told about how the war was

683
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,740
started, whose responsibility it was, you know, et

684
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:47,540
cetera, et cetera.

685
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,260
It happened during the administration that she was

686
00:21:51,260 --> 00:21:52,340
in in 2014.

687
00:21:52,580 --> 00:21:53,760
That's how the war was started.

688
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,080
And he tried to explain what is, in

689
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:57,720
fact, the case.

690
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,320
So the best part of that interview, I

691
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,400
thought, was this 33 second clip, which I

692
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,340
will just share with you.

693
00:22:03,340 --> 00:22:06,400
It was an effort to humiliate him, to

694
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,400
scuttle the U.S.-Ukraine relationship so that Trump

695
00:22:11,370 --> 00:22:14,840
no longer feels any obligation to provide support

696
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,240
and to hand U.S. interests in Ukraine

697
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,640
and potentially Europe to Putin on a silver

698
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,020
platter.

699
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:23,820
Why?

700
00:22:24,340 --> 00:22:25,620
That's a great question.

701
00:22:26,740 --> 00:22:27,260
No, it's not.

702
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,740
And listen- Susan, we're going to unfreeze

703
00:22:30,740 --> 00:22:30,840
you.

704
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,540
I want to play- So the minute

705
00:22:32,540 --> 00:22:34,560
she says that's a great question, the video

706
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,100
freezes.

707
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:35,920
It was poetic.

708
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:37,760
It was poetic, poetic.

709
00:22:38,220 --> 00:22:40,220
Here is the most truthful moment.

710
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:41,900
It's 50 seconds.

711
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,940
The most truthful Trump moment in the Oval

712
00:22:45,940 --> 00:22:46,220
Office.

713
00:22:46,420 --> 00:22:47,860
This is, I think, is true.

714
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:50,520
Well, if I didn't align myself with both

715
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,320
of them, you'd never have a deal.

716
00:22:53,260 --> 00:22:56,460
You want me to say really terrible things

717
00:22:56,460 --> 00:22:59,000
about Putin and then say, hi, Vladimir, how

718
00:22:59,000 --> 00:22:59,880
are we doing on the deal?

719
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:01,040
It doesn't work that way.

720
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,040
I'm not aligned with anybody.

721
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:06,400
I'm aligned with the United States of America

722
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,660
and for the good of the world.

723
00:23:08,980 --> 00:23:10,140
I'm aligned with the world.

724
00:23:10,780 --> 00:23:11,940
And I want to get this thing over

725
00:23:11,940 --> 00:23:12,120
with.

726
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,900
You see the hatred he's got for Putin.

727
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,720
It's very tough for me to make a

728
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:16,520
deal with that kind of hate.

729
00:23:16,580 --> 00:23:17,580
He's got tremendous hatred.

730
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,160
And I understand that.

731
00:23:19,220 --> 00:23:21,120
But I can tell you the other side

732
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:24,320
isn't exactly in love with, you know, him

733
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:24,640
either.

734
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,680
So it's not a question of alignment.

735
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,680
I have to- I'm aligned with the

736
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:30,060
world.

737
00:23:30,060 --> 00:23:31,760
I want to get the thing set.

738
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:32,800
I'm aligned with Europe.

739
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,500
I want to see if we can get

740
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:36,340
this thing done.

741
00:23:37,220 --> 00:23:38,300
You want me to be tough?

742
00:23:38,380 --> 00:23:40,060
I could be tougher than any human being

743
00:23:40,060 --> 00:23:40,800
you've ever seen.

744
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:41,880
I'd be so tough.

745
00:23:42,620 --> 00:23:44,000
But you're never going to get a deal

746
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:44,480
that way.

747
00:23:44,580 --> 00:23:45,780
So that's the way it goes.

748
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:46,960
One more question.

749
00:23:47,740 --> 00:23:48,700
And there you go.

750
00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:50,640
I believe that's all to be true.

751
00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:53,620
I got messages from friends overseas.

752
00:23:53,860 --> 00:23:55,580
Here's my buddy, Michelle, in the UK.

753
00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:58,320
What the F is Trump and Vance doing

754
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,540
supporting Russia after being in the Cold War

755
00:24:00,540 --> 00:24:01,500
for 70 years?

756
00:24:01,580 --> 00:24:03,540
They've turned on the whole world just for

757
00:24:03,540 --> 00:24:04,200
some deals?

758
00:24:06,770 --> 00:24:08,290
That's how it's being perceived.

759
00:24:09,610 --> 00:24:10,630
Thanks to the media.

760
00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:12,490
Well, he's not- Thanks to the media.

761
00:24:12,670 --> 00:24:12,890
Exactly.

762
00:24:13,390 --> 00:24:13,670
Thanks to the media.

763
00:24:13,950 --> 00:24:18,750
And I want to put- just to

764
00:24:18,750 --> 00:24:20,810
not go completely off track, but I do

765
00:24:20,810 --> 00:24:22,410
want to play these clips because I think

766
00:24:22,410 --> 00:24:24,430
it- You want to do Starmer first?

767
00:24:24,550 --> 00:24:25,610
Because that's the big news.

768
00:24:26,150 --> 00:24:28,610
Well, I was going to play the Galloway

769
00:24:28,610 --> 00:24:31,610
material because it gives us all the background

770
00:24:31,610 --> 00:24:32,230
we need.

771
00:24:32,610 --> 00:24:32,710
Okay.

772
00:24:32,990 --> 00:24:34,170
I don't- I'm not familiar with this.

773
00:24:34,170 --> 00:24:35,250
And the reason I want to play is

774
00:24:35,250 --> 00:24:37,710
because this is George Galloway.

775
00:24:38,090 --> 00:24:40,590
Piers Morgan, just as a little background here.

776
00:24:40,790 --> 00:24:41,650
He's funny.

777
00:24:42,150 --> 00:24:43,050
I can't help but laugh.

778
00:24:43,050 --> 00:24:45,130
Piers Morgan knows what he's doing.

779
00:24:46,170 --> 00:24:48,310
He knows what good TV is.

780
00:24:48,670 --> 00:24:51,590
He's always been a tabloid guy.

781
00:24:51,710 --> 00:24:53,310
So he knows what a headline should be.

782
00:24:53,350 --> 00:24:53,770
He does.

783
00:24:53,770 --> 00:24:55,510
He knows how to get attention.

784
00:24:55,690 --> 00:24:57,490
He's got no personality, really.

785
00:24:57,670 --> 00:24:59,290
He got the attention of your clip machine.

786
00:24:59,410 --> 00:25:00,390
This is how good he is.

787
00:25:01,450 --> 00:25:02,030
He's good.

788
00:25:02,690 --> 00:25:04,250
But so he- and you can hear

789
00:25:04,250 --> 00:25:06,310
him defer, which is he doesn't get into

790
00:25:06,310 --> 00:25:06,590
arguments.

791
00:25:06,890 --> 00:25:08,830
If a guy goes off on him, on

792
00:25:08,830 --> 00:25:11,290
Piers, he'd let him go because he knows

793
00:25:11,290 --> 00:25:12,430
it's interesting.

794
00:25:12,530 --> 00:25:15,930
But this is George Galloway, a notorious socialist

795
00:25:15,930 --> 00:25:20,790
who's a writer for The Guardian, who's just

796
00:25:20,790 --> 00:25:22,250
generally a creep in general.

797
00:25:22,250 --> 00:25:23,050
Hates Trump.

798
00:25:23,310 --> 00:25:24,170
Hates the United States.

799
00:25:24,310 --> 00:25:25,810
Hates England, as far as I can tell.

800
00:25:26,070 --> 00:25:30,790
He hates everything except the communist revolution.

801
00:25:31,370 --> 00:25:34,630
But his discussion of the situation is so

802
00:25:34,630 --> 00:25:39,430
on point that you have to say, well,

803
00:25:39,470 --> 00:25:40,790
at least you nailed this part of it.

804
00:25:40,830 --> 00:25:41,330
And here we go.

805
00:25:41,390 --> 00:25:42,330
This is a three-parter.

806
00:25:42,690 --> 00:25:44,070
I think it's excellent.

807
00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:47,610
It's really come to something when having spent

808
00:25:47,610 --> 00:25:52,290
a lifetime myself fighting against NATO and American

809
00:25:52,290 --> 00:25:52,950
wars.

810
00:25:53,370 --> 00:25:55,770
It's the Americans that are trying to stop

811
00:25:55,770 --> 00:25:56,290
the war.

812
00:25:56,750 --> 00:25:59,850
And Piers Morgan, Boris Johnson, and Keir Starmer,

813
00:26:00,050 --> 00:26:02,090
who are trying to keep it going.

814
00:26:02,250 --> 00:26:02,970
I don't want to keep it going.

815
00:26:02,970 --> 00:26:03,670
You've got a lot of Ukrainian- I

816
00:26:03,670 --> 00:26:04,350
don't want to keep it going.

817
00:26:04,370 --> 00:26:05,970
You've got- Wait a minute, he put

818
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:07,290
Piers Morgan in the list?

819
00:26:07,370 --> 00:26:08,150
That's great.

820
00:26:08,590 --> 00:26:08,830
Yeah.

821
00:26:08,990 --> 00:26:09,690
That's good.

822
00:26:10,750 --> 00:26:13,370
You've got a lot of Ukrainian blood on

823
00:26:13,370 --> 00:26:13,970
your hands.

824
00:26:14,130 --> 00:26:14,270
Wow.

825
00:26:14,410 --> 00:26:16,690
You have lied about this war from the

826
00:26:16,690 --> 00:26:16,830
beginning.

827
00:26:16,830 --> 00:26:19,910
I think Vladimir- You have lied about

828
00:26:19,910 --> 00:26:22,950
the origin of this war, about the duration

829
00:26:22,950 --> 00:26:26,050
of this war, about the course of this

830
00:26:26,050 --> 00:26:26,490
war.

831
00:26:26,810 --> 00:26:30,370
And now, having caused you and your war

832
00:26:30,370 --> 00:26:33,610
party the death of a million Ukrainians while

833
00:26:33,610 --> 00:26:37,130
claiming to love Ukrainians, you're now calling for

834
00:26:37,130 --> 00:26:39,390
British lives to be lost.

835
00:26:39,570 --> 00:26:41,610
What a load of absolute bullshit.

836
00:26:42,410 --> 00:26:46,290
That constitutes close to a war crime.

837
00:26:46,290 --> 00:26:49,490
You're going to regret it when, very soon,

838
00:26:50,010 --> 00:26:53,330
Zelensky is sitting in a beachfront villa somewhere,

839
00:26:53,730 --> 00:26:56,610
counting his ill-gotten gains, and all the

840
00:26:56,610 --> 00:27:00,290
secrets of the rampant corruption between the Democrats

841
00:27:00,290 --> 00:27:04,750
and the Zelensky regime begin to tumble out

842
00:27:04,750 --> 00:27:05,910
of the cupboard.

843
00:27:06,170 --> 00:27:08,830
This war did not begin three years ago.

844
00:27:09,130 --> 00:27:11,950
You very well know that it began in

845
00:27:11,950 --> 00:27:12,850
2014.

846
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:16,050
You very well know that it began with

847
00:27:16,050 --> 00:27:19,590
a coup against the elected president of Ukraine,

848
00:27:19,770 --> 00:27:23,970
backed by Victoria Nuland and the administration at

849
00:27:23,970 --> 00:27:26,570
that time, and supported by you.

850
00:27:26,910 --> 00:27:28,950
Man, everyone's going to hate Galloway now.

851
00:27:29,070 --> 00:27:30,370
He can't even get the left on his

852
00:27:30,370 --> 00:27:31,190
side with this.

853
00:27:32,090 --> 00:27:34,170
I like the way he goes, you very

854
00:27:34,170 --> 00:27:34,770
well know.

855
00:27:34,850 --> 00:27:36,430
This is a trick I've never heard him

856
00:27:36,430 --> 00:27:37,710
do, or anyone, actually.

857
00:27:37,770 --> 00:27:38,170
I like this.

858
00:27:38,330 --> 00:27:39,630
You very well know.

859
00:27:39,830 --> 00:27:40,910
You very well know.

860
00:27:40,950 --> 00:27:41,910
And he keeps it up.

861
00:27:41,910 --> 00:27:45,190
And the whole thing is done for effect,

862
00:27:45,330 --> 00:27:47,050
and it's very well done.

863
00:27:47,290 --> 00:27:47,750
It's effective.

864
00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:52,350
And it's very effective, and Morgan knows what's

865
00:27:52,350 --> 00:27:52,830
going on.

866
00:27:52,990 --> 00:27:54,430
And this was kind of, at least to

867
00:27:54,430 --> 00:27:55,790
me, it's funny to watch Morgan.

868
00:27:56,270 --> 00:27:58,210
He almost tries to stop him, but then

869
00:27:58,210 --> 00:27:58,890
he gets him out.

870
00:27:58,970 --> 00:27:59,670
He's on a roll.

871
00:27:59,850 --> 00:28:02,070
And Morgan backs off, knowing that this is

872
00:28:02,070 --> 00:28:04,770
good material that's going to get him the

873
00:28:04,770 --> 00:28:05,550
views he wants.

874
00:28:05,670 --> 00:28:06,290
But here we go.

875
00:28:06,290 --> 00:28:09,930
You very well know that the criminalization of

876
00:28:09,930 --> 00:28:12,950
the Russian language, which followed hard on the

877
00:28:12,950 --> 00:28:16,030
heels of that coup, was the proximate reason

878
00:28:16,030 --> 00:28:18,730
for an uprising in the east of the

879
00:28:18,730 --> 00:28:22,730
country amongst Russian-speaking, ethnically Russian people.

880
00:28:23,190 --> 00:28:26,050
You very well know that Zelensky and his

881
00:28:26,050 --> 00:28:30,410
predecessor rained down shot and shell on the

882
00:28:30,410 --> 00:28:35,230
people of East Ukraine for eight years before

883
00:28:35,230 --> 00:28:36,690
Putin intervened.

884
00:28:36,790 --> 00:28:42,350
It's possible that Galloway is really, truly an

885
00:28:42,350 --> 00:28:43,330
anti-war guy.

886
00:28:44,430 --> 00:28:47,950
That may be his reasoning, that he's just

887
00:28:47,950 --> 00:28:51,290
so anti-war, which is good, that this

888
00:28:51,290 --> 00:28:53,450
is why he's—and he's on point with this.

889
00:28:53,490 --> 00:28:54,270
You're so right.

890
00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:55,290
He's on point.

891
00:28:55,290 --> 00:28:56,470
In 2022.

892
00:28:57,370 --> 00:29:00,110
And that 14,000 people, most of them

893
00:29:00,110 --> 00:29:04,250
women and children, were killed in that onslaught.

894
00:29:04,390 --> 00:29:07,710
You very well know that Zelensky was preparing

895
00:29:07,710 --> 00:29:12,210
for a final onslaught, a final solution.

896
00:29:12,510 --> 00:29:14,730
And while I'm on that subject, you're always

897
00:29:14,730 --> 00:29:17,010
telling us how much you love the Jews.

898
00:29:17,290 --> 00:29:21,150
You're supporting a regime which puts up statues

899
00:29:21,150 --> 00:29:25,810
to Nazi collaborators, to generals of the Galician

900
00:29:25,810 --> 00:29:28,270
division of the SS.

901
00:29:29,010 --> 00:29:30,870
Zelensky is Jewish, you know that, right?

902
00:29:31,170 --> 00:29:33,090
You know Zelensky is Jewish, right?

903
00:29:34,070 --> 00:29:36,610
But that's like saying there's no racism in

904
00:29:36,610 --> 00:29:40,770
America because Obama— So you're calling the Jewish

905
00:29:40,770 --> 00:29:42,130
leader of Ukraine a Nazi.

906
00:29:42,130 --> 00:29:43,070
Is that your position?

907
00:29:43,250 --> 00:29:45,850
By the way, I am a little disappointed.

908
00:29:46,050 --> 00:29:48,930
Where are all my Jew haters to say

909
00:29:48,930 --> 00:29:51,870
that Zelensky is controlling America?

910
00:29:52,730 --> 00:29:54,410
I'm missing this in my time.

911
00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:56,570
I'm missing it.

912
00:29:56,630 --> 00:29:59,630
That's like saying there's no racism in America

913
00:29:59,630 --> 00:30:03,370
because Obama was briefly the president of the

914
00:30:03,370 --> 00:30:03,790
country.

915
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:08,930
The entire western part of Ukraine played a

916
00:30:08,930 --> 00:30:12,950
decisive role in the mass murder of Jews

917
00:30:12,950 --> 00:30:15,810
and Poles and others in the Second World

918
00:30:15,810 --> 00:30:16,170
War.

919
00:30:16,390 --> 00:30:19,590
And now they are heroizing the heroes of

920
00:30:19,590 --> 00:30:20,150
the SS.

921
00:30:20,670 --> 00:30:23,150
Why doesn't Donald Trump agree with you?

922
00:30:25,190 --> 00:30:27,170
This is—I'm glad you got these.

923
00:30:27,250 --> 00:30:28,410
This is very good.

924
00:30:28,770 --> 00:30:30,190
This is— Yeah, he raps it and he

925
00:30:30,190 --> 00:30:34,230
keeps—it doesn't end with—I mean, now the last

926
00:30:34,230 --> 00:30:36,110
is the last clip, but it's just like

927
00:30:36,110 --> 00:30:38,210
he brings in Donald Trump and this is

928
00:30:38,210 --> 00:30:39,750
the part that I find was interesting.

929
00:30:40,150 --> 00:30:42,690
Why doesn't Donald Trump agree with you?

930
00:30:43,170 --> 00:30:44,050
Because he's wrong.

931
00:30:44,470 --> 00:30:47,090
Well, you know, you have been up his

932
00:30:47,090 --> 00:30:50,210
ass all of these two decades.

933
00:30:50,570 --> 00:30:51,770
You've kissed his feet.

934
00:30:52,190 --> 00:30:53,650
You've licked his boots.

935
00:30:53,650 --> 00:30:55,730
You've fawned upon him.

936
00:30:55,970 --> 00:30:56,070
Really?

937
00:30:56,250 --> 00:30:58,590
You have been his super fan.

938
00:30:58,750 --> 00:31:02,130
And now, on this fundamental question of our

939
00:31:02,130 --> 00:31:04,330
age, he's entirely wrong.

940
00:31:04,610 --> 00:31:09,070
Everybody watching knows you are Trump's biggest ass

941
00:31:09,070 --> 00:31:09,170
kisser.

942
00:31:09,170 --> 00:31:09,750
I like him.

943
00:31:10,030 --> 00:31:10,710
I like him.

944
00:31:11,310 --> 00:31:12,290
I like Donald Trump.

945
00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:13,130
I know you like him.

946
00:31:13,130 --> 00:31:14,050
I don't like him.

947
00:31:14,190 --> 00:31:16,250
And on many things, on many things— But

948
00:31:16,250 --> 00:31:17,090
on this, he's wrong.

949
00:31:17,130 --> 00:31:19,710
And the fundamental question— Let me finish.

950
00:31:19,710 --> 00:31:23,250
The biggest question in politics in the world

951
00:31:23,250 --> 00:31:25,750
today, he's got it completely wrong.

952
00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:30,670
Ukraine was the most corrupt country in Europe—

953
00:31:30,670 --> 00:31:31,730
What, more corrupt than Russia?

954
00:31:32,210 --> 00:31:37,030
—before BitLess was designated by the economists, by

955
00:31:37,030 --> 00:31:37,690
the FDA.

956
00:31:38,390 --> 00:31:39,070
What about what?

957
00:31:39,810 --> 00:31:40,430
Putin?

958
00:31:41,390 --> 00:31:42,170
Yeah, Putin.

959
00:31:42,290 --> 00:31:43,910
And it falls apart there.

960
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:46,490
Oh, that's good.

961
00:31:46,690 --> 00:31:47,250
That's good.

962
00:31:47,250 --> 00:31:50,510
Now, does Galloway also hate Trump?

963
00:31:51,070 --> 00:31:51,830
Man, that was a little unclear.

964
00:31:52,230 --> 00:31:54,750
Unfortunately, in that little exchange there, in there,

965
00:31:54,830 --> 00:31:56,110
he says, I hate Trump.

966
00:31:56,350 --> 00:31:57,950
Yeah, but Trump is doing the right thing,

967
00:31:58,010 --> 00:31:58,750
but I hate Trump.

968
00:31:59,430 --> 00:31:59,810
Yeah.

969
00:32:00,270 --> 00:32:00,750
Interesting.

970
00:32:01,870 --> 00:32:04,610
All right, so all of this culminated, I

971
00:32:04,610 --> 00:32:09,110
think, as intended or as expected— There was

972
00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:11,230
a hint it may have been intended because

973
00:32:11,230 --> 00:32:15,570
Starmer, in this clip, does indicate that there

974
00:32:15,570 --> 00:32:18,330
was some— Because he met with Trump the

975
00:32:18,330 --> 00:32:21,510
day before, or it was— I think it

976
00:32:21,510 --> 00:32:22,010
was the day before.

977
00:32:22,330 --> 00:32:23,210
Two days before.

978
00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:25,550
Yeah, well, Macron, I guess.

979
00:32:25,790 --> 00:32:27,710
Macron was there, and so was Starmer.

980
00:32:27,870 --> 00:32:28,750
They both met.

981
00:32:29,190 --> 00:32:31,170
So there may have been some scheming going

982
00:32:31,170 --> 00:32:31,670
on here.

983
00:32:31,710 --> 00:32:34,650
We don't know for sure, but this thing,

984
00:32:34,770 --> 00:32:36,250
this is— I don't know.

985
00:32:37,890 --> 00:32:40,350
Starmer is not a character I would trust.

986
00:32:41,850 --> 00:32:44,330
I don't think anyone trusts Starmer.

987
00:32:44,990 --> 00:32:46,830
No, no.

988
00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:49,110
Now, so we're going to play the announcement

989
00:32:49,110 --> 00:32:49,910
from this morning?

990
00:32:50,510 --> 00:32:51,970
Yeah, this is the one that came out

991
00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:52,250
today.

992
00:32:52,670 --> 00:32:55,670
First, we will keep the military aid flowing

993
00:32:55,670 --> 00:32:59,010
and keep increasing the economic pressure on Russia

994
00:32:59,010 --> 00:33:01,670
to strengthen Ukraine now.

995
00:33:02,250 --> 00:33:06,110
Second, we agreed that any lasting peace must

996
00:33:06,110 --> 00:33:10,950
ensure Ukraine's sovereignty and security, and Ukraine must

997
00:33:10,950 --> 00:33:11,890
be at the table.

998
00:33:12,610 --> 00:33:15,690
Third, in the event of a peace deal,

999
00:33:16,310 --> 00:33:19,810
we will keep boosting Ukraine's own defensive capabilities

1000
00:33:19,810 --> 00:33:22,630
to deter any future invasion.

1001
00:33:23,090 --> 00:33:25,970
Fourth, we will go further to develop a

1002
00:33:25,970 --> 00:33:27,650
coalition of the willing.

1003
00:33:28,530 --> 00:33:30,410
Where have we heard this, coalition of the

1004
00:33:30,410 --> 00:33:30,590
willing?

1005
00:33:30,770 --> 00:33:34,010
Was that not Iraq when— George W.

1006
00:33:34,110 --> 00:33:34,390
Bush.

1007
00:33:34,490 --> 00:33:36,630
When we scammed everybody into going into a

1008
00:33:36,630 --> 00:33:37,270
different country?

1009
00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:39,450
And he's the one who said coalition of

1010
00:33:39,450 --> 00:33:39,710
the willing.

1011
00:33:39,710 --> 00:33:41,250
In fact, if people want to look something

1012
00:33:41,250 --> 00:33:44,630
up that's entertaining, the Council on Foreign Relations

1013
00:33:44,630 --> 00:33:46,630
did a whole paper on coalition of the

1014
00:33:46,630 --> 00:33:46,790
willing.

1015
00:33:47,290 --> 00:33:52,870
If you google coalition, I'm sorry, coalition, not

1016
00:33:52,870 --> 00:33:56,470
coalition, coalition of the willing, Council on Foreign

1017
00:33:56,470 --> 00:33:57,730
Relations, you can find it.

1018
00:33:58,410 --> 00:34:01,450
Coalition of the willing to defend a deal

1019
00:34:01,450 --> 00:34:04,490
in Ukraine and to guarantee the peace.

1020
00:34:04,910 --> 00:34:07,530
Not every nation will feel able to contribute,

1021
00:34:07,530 --> 00:34:10,750
but that can't mean that we sit back.

1022
00:34:11,489 --> 00:34:15,510
Instead, those willing will intensify planning now with

1023
00:34:15,510 --> 00:34:16,510
real urgency.

1024
00:34:17,070 --> 00:34:19,630
The UK is prepared to back this with

1025
00:34:19,630 --> 00:34:21,670
boots on the ground and planes in the

1026
00:34:21,670 --> 00:34:24,550
air, together with others.

1027
00:34:25,330 --> 00:34:27,389
Europe must do the heavy listing.

1028
00:34:27,929 --> 00:34:30,870
But to support peace in our continent and

1029
00:34:30,870 --> 00:34:35,150
to succeed, this effort must have strong US

1030
00:34:35,150 --> 00:34:35,570
backing.

1031
00:34:35,570 --> 00:34:37,790
We're working with the US on this point

1032
00:34:37,790 --> 00:34:40,989
after my meeting with President Trump last week.

1033
00:34:41,310 --> 00:34:43,530
And let me be clear, we agree with

1034
00:34:43,530 --> 00:34:46,010
the president on the urgent need for a

1035
00:34:46,010 --> 00:34:46,889
durable peace.

1036
00:34:47,610 --> 00:34:49,909
Now we need to deliver together.

1037
00:34:51,310 --> 00:34:54,310
Finally, we agreed that leaders will meet again

1038
00:34:54,310 --> 00:34:57,530
very soon to keep the pace behind these

1039
00:34:57,530 --> 00:35:00,770
actions and to keep working towards this shared

1040
00:35:00,770 --> 00:35:01,150
plan.

1041
00:35:01,830 --> 00:35:04,230
We are at a crossroads in history today.

1042
00:35:04,890 --> 00:35:07,510
This is not a moment for more talk.

1043
00:35:08,050 --> 00:35:10,990
It's time to act, time to step up

1044
00:35:10,990 --> 00:35:13,790
and lead and to unite around a new

1045
00:35:13,790 --> 00:35:16,890
plan for a just and enduring peace.

1046
00:35:17,210 --> 00:35:17,910
Thank you.

1047
00:35:18,050 --> 00:35:20,370
I like the just and enduring peace.

1048
00:35:20,590 --> 00:35:22,310
A just, that's what Zelensky said that too,

1049
00:35:22,390 --> 00:35:23,330
a just peace.

1050
00:35:23,970 --> 00:35:26,130
We need a just, whatever that means, a

1051
00:35:26,130 --> 00:35:26,710
just peace.

1052
00:35:26,710 --> 00:35:27,470
Doesn't mean anything.

1053
00:35:27,790 --> 00:35:29,170
And what's the thing, we're gonna have more

1054
00:35:29,170 --> 00:35:31,110
meetings, but let's not have too many meetings.

1055
00:35:31,370 --> 00:35:32,190
Give me a break.

1056
00:35:32,190 --> 00:35:36,070
So right after the Oval blow up, Zelensky

1057
00:35:36,070 --> 00:35:37,230
hoofs it over to No.

1058
00:35:37,330 --> 00:35:39,410
10 Dowling Street for the big embrace.

1059
00:35:39,630 --> 00:35:42,630
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed Ukrainian President

1060
00:35:42,630 --> 00:35:44,970
Vladimir Zelensky to London on Saturday.

1061
00:35:45,310 --> 00:35:48,650
I want to thank you, people of the

1062
00:35:48,650 --> 00:35:51,150
United Kingdom, such big support from the very

1063
00:35:51,150 --> 00:35:52,230
beginning of this war.

1064
00:35:52,350 --> 00:35:54,570
The meeting follows the berating seen around the

1065
00:35:54,570 --> 00:35:54,770
world.

1066
00:35:54,990 --> 00:35:55,330
Berating.

1067
00:35:55,350 --> 00:35:57,010
President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance

1068
00:35:57,010 --> 00:35:59,610
gave Zelensky in the Oval Office Friday.

1069
00:35:59,890 --> 00:36:00,470
God bless.

1070
00:36:00,470 --> 00:36:01,090
You don't know that.

1071
00:36:01,110 --> 00:36:01,650
God bless.

1072
00:36:01,650 --> 00:36:02,510
God bless.

1073
00:36:02,630 --> 00:36:03,670
You will not have a war.

1074
00:36:03,910 --> 00:36:05,230
Don't tell us what we're gonna feel.

1075
00:36:05,670 --> 00:36:07,050
We're trying to solve a problem.

1076
00:36:07,270 --> 00:36:08,770
Don't tell us what we're gonna feel.

1077
00:36:08,870 --> 00:36:09,710
I'm not telling you.

1078
00:36:09,730 --> 00:36:11,690
Because you're in no position to dictate that.

1079
00:36:12,690 --> 00:36:16,430
You're in no position to dictate what we're

1080
00:36:16,430 --> 00:36:16,910
gonna feel.

1081
00:36:17,210 --> 00:36:19,250
President Trump is spending the weekend at his

1082
00:36:19,250 --> 00:36:21,190
Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach.

1083
00:36:21,530 --> 00:36:23,750
Before leaving D.C., Trump spoke to reporters

1084
00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:26,830
about Zelensky's dressing down that sparked new questions

1085
00:36:26,830 --> 00:36:29,150
about the next chapter in U.S. support

1086
00:36:29,150 --> 00:36:29,790
for Ukraine.

1087
00:36:29,790 --> 00:36:31,370
He's got to say, I want to make

1088
00:36:31,370 --> 00:36:31,810
peace.

1089
00:36:31,970 --> 00:36:34,110
He doesn't have to stand there and say

1090
00:36:34,110 --> 00:36:39,070
about Putin this, Putin that, all negative things.

1091
00:36:39,290 --> 00:36:41,530
What became clear, and I think what has

1092
00:36:41,530 --> 00:36:47,270
the president so frustrated and frankly angry, is

1093
00:36:47,270 --> 00:36:50,190
that it's not clear that Zelensky truly wants

1094
00:36:50,190 --> 00:36:51,230
to stop the fighting.

1095
00:36:51,470 --> 00:36:54,250
Many Republicans expressed support of the president after

1096
00:36:54,250 --> 00:36:55,590
the showdown with Zelensky.

1097
00:36:55,590 --> 00:36:59,590
But GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska commented

1098
00:36:59,590 --> 00:37:01,910
on the situation on Axe, calling it a

1099
00:37:01,910 --> 00:37:05,510
regrettable conversation, showing the administration may try to

1100
00:37:05,510 --> 00:37:07,930
end all U.S. support for Ukraine.

1101
00:37:08,190 --> 00:37:10,330
All right, so as Tina and I were

1102
00:37:10,330 --> 00:37:12,310
talking about this, the first thing she said

1103
00:37:12,310 --> 00:37:13,350
is, well, who's his handler?

1104
00:37:13,490 --> 00:37:15,330
Who is making him do this?

1105
00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:18,450
And it seems very obvious to me the

1106
00:37:18,450 --> 00:37:21,130
EU and the UK are behind this, and

1107
00:37:21,130 --> 00:37:22,330
for very good reasons.

1108
00:37:22,330 --> 00:37:25,990
So he went to this emergency summit, and

1109
00:37:25,990 --> 00:37:28,470
he's sitting there, everyone's around the table, including

1110
00:37:28,470 --> 00:37:29,410
Queen Ursula.

1111
00:37:29,970 --> 00:37:33,570
They're all in all the panel, and Zelensky

1112
00:37:33,570 --> 00:37:34,750
lays out his plight.

1113
00:37:34,950 --> 00:37:36,910
Oh, what a difference a day makes.

1114
00:37:37,170 --> 00:37:37,510
Extraordinary.

1115
00:37:37,510 --> 00:37:38,710
I'm sorry, intro first.

1116
00:37:38,850 --> 00:37:41,470
We've seen in Washington in the Oval Office,

1117
00:37:42,230 --> 00:37:45,090
and because of this diplomatic debris, more than

1118
00:37:45,090 --> 00:37:46,010
ever, pressure.

1119
00:37:46,410 --> 00:37:48,090
Oh, I like diplomatic debris.

1120
00:37:48,390 --> 00:37:49,330
That's a nice one.

1121
00:37:49,530 --> 00:37:50,690
Diplomatic debris.

1122
00:37:50,690 --> 00:37:53,990
And because of this diplomatic debris, more than

1123
00:37:53,990 --> 00:37:56,770
ever, pressure on Keir Starmer, the UK prime

1124
00:37:56,770 --> 00:37:58,970
minister, really on this London summit.

1125
00:37:59,130 --> 00:38:02,210
But a very positive, constructive meeting, a lot

1126
00:38:02,210 --> 00:38:02,830
of warmth.

1127
00:38:03,270 --> 00:38:04,950
Indeed, the prime minister came out of that

1128
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:07,530
famous black door, number 10, and gave a

1129
00:38:07,530 --> 00:38:10,770
big hug to President Zelensky and immediately drew

1130
00:38:10,770 --> 00:38:13,170
his attention to the cheers that had gone

1131
00:38:13,170 --> 00:38:15,850
up just outside the gates of number 10,

1132
00:38:16,660 --> 00:38:19,270
very much to say that the UK, the

1133
00:38:19,270 --> 00:38:21,790
Ukraine has a full backing of the United

1134
00:38:21,790 --> 00:38:22,170
Kingdom.

1135
00:38:22,330 --> 00:38:23,830
Then very warm words in front of the

1136
00:38:23,830 --> 00:38:28,530
cameras, briefly, very much appreciated by President Zelensky.

1137
00:38:29,030 --> 00:38:32,790
President Zelensky, who had requested, I understand, a

1138
00:38:32,790 --> 00:38:35,150
meeting with the head of state of the

1139
00:38:35,150 --> 00:38:38,090
United Kingdom, King Charles, and who has indeed

1140
00:38:38,090 --> 00:38:38,950
obtained it.

1141
00:38:39,090 --> 00:38:41,650
That had to be approved by the UK

1142
00:38:41,650 --> 00:38:42,130
government.

1143
00:38:42,690 --> 00:38:46,550
So interesting and very constructive, very positive.

1144
00:38:46,850 --> 00:38:49,310
That defense loan also announced last night.

1145
00:38:49,650 --> 00:38:51,470
So a lot of warmth, a lot of

1146
00:38:51,470 --> 00:38:51,750
backing.

1147
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:53,410
And it's hoped that there'll be much more

1148
00:38:53,410 --> 00:38:55,230
backing in the London summit that will be

1149
00:38:55,230 --> 00:38:57,530
happening here at Lancaster House.

1150
00:38:57,770 --> 00:38:58,030
All right.

1151
00:38:58,090 --> 00:38:59,570
So then what was that report from?

1152
00:39:00,170 --> 00:39:03,530
That is from, I think, France 24.

1153
00:39:04,410 --> 00:39:07,250
They use the word warmth way too much.

1154
00:39:07,590 --> 00:39:10,170
Oh, and that was the contrast with Trump,

1155
00:39:10,350 --> 00:39:12,270
obviously, because it's an anti-Trump outlet.

1156
00:39:12,450 --> 00:39:14,670
And the warm embrace, you know, oh yeah.

1157
00:39:15,290 --> 00:39:19,030
You know, Zelensky also went into an office

1158
00:39:19,030 --> 00:39:22,110
with Starmer and I forget the woman's name.

1159
00:39:22,510 --> 00:39:24,510
You know, they signed a two billion pound

1160
00:39:24,510 --> 00:39:27,930
deal right on the spot before even this

1161
00:39:27,930 --> 00:39:28,730
summit took place.

1162
00:39:28,850 --> 00:39:32,330
So the UK was already in for two

1163
00:39:32,330 --> 00:39:35,050
billion pounds to keep something flowing.

1164
00:39:35,630 --> 00:39:36,890
And here's a, I have a couple of

1165
00:39:36,890 --> 00:39:38,590
clips here from this panel.

1166
00:39:38,590 --> 00:39:40,670
The stakes couldn't be higher.

1167
00:39:41,270 --> 00:39:43,250
The summit to take place on Sunday, hosted

1168
00:39:43,250 --> 00:39:45,670
by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, will bring

1169
00:39:45,670 --> 00:39:48,190
together leaders across Europe and will tackle.

1170
00:39:48,250 --> 00:39:49,350
Let me see if this is it.

1171
00:39:49,470 --> 00:39:50,010
You are secure.

1172
00:39:50,670 --> 00:39:51,950
I don't want that one.

1173
00:39:52,030 --> 00:39:52,790
Is it this one?

1174
00:39:53,250 --> 00:39:57,270
We hope that we can finish this war

1175
00:39:57,270 --> 00:39:59,790
this year, not in three years.

1176
00:40:00,630 --> 00:40:02,190
It's very, very difficult.

1177
00:40:03,490 --> 00:40:06,370
Very difficult for all our nation to go

1178
00:40:06,370 --> 00:40:07,170
through this war.

1179
00:40:07,170 --> 00:40:09,310
And all these, all these jimoks from the

1180
00:40:09,310 --> 00:40:10,630
EU are sitting there looking at him.

1181
00:40:10,750 --> 00:40:12,910
Oh yes, yes, yes, oh yes.

1182
00:40:13,170 --> 00:40:15,550
But with all respect to our soldiers and

1183
00:40:15,550 --> 00:40:16,390
our people.

1184
00:40:17,430 --> 00:40:20,870
So I can't speak about three years.

1185
00:40:21,470 --> 00:40:24,290
If we speak about how to prepare security

1186
00:40:24,290 --> 00:40:27,410
because of the Russia, they can come back

1187
00:40:27,410 --> 00:40:28,230
in 10 years.

1188
00:40:29,250 --> 00:40:31,590
If we will not be prepared, they will

1189
00:40:31,590 --> 00:40:32,570
not come back.

1190
00:40:32,750 --> 00:40:36,250
If we will pressure them, put them to

1191
00:40:36,250 --> 00:40:37,010
their place.

1192
00:40:37,170 --> 00:40:38,470
To their territory.

1193
00:40:38,830 --> 00:40:40,150
You have to put them to their place.

1194
00:40:40,410 --> 00:40:43,690
And if Ukraine will be in EU and

1195
00:40:43,690 --> 00:40:44,570
in NATO.

1196
00:40:44,790 --> 00:40:45,250
Uh-huh.

1197
00:40:45,450 --> 00:40:46,930
In the EU and in NATO.

1198
00:40:47,230 --> 00:40:47,730
There it is.

1199
00:40:47,970 --> 00:40:49,270
In closest years.

1200
00:40:49,610 --> 00:40:51,370
Of course, it will help us very much.

1201
00:40:52,310 --> 00:40:53,950
And I think that they will not come

1202
00:40:53,950 --> 00:40:54,210
back.

1203
00:40:54,310 --> 00:40:57,710
We will have strong army and strong allies

1204
00:40:57,710 --> 00:41:00,090
and strong unity, to my mind.

1205
00:41:00,090 --> 00:41:05,830
Because they will never, I mean, forgive the

1206
00:41:05,830 --> 00:41:09,490
world that they didn't win.

1207
00:41:10,630 --> 00:41:13,130
And you see that they will not win.

1208
00:41:13,730 --> 00:41:15,530
And then he takes it one step further.

1209
00:41:15,710 --> 00:41:17,630
And this is, this is real war talk.

1210
00:41:17,790 --> 00:41:19,910
You know, we are very often.

1211
00:41:20,410 --> 00:41:22,870
And also today we speak that we need

1212
00:41:22,870 --> 00:41:25,810
just and lasting peace.

1213
00:41:26,110 --> 00:41:27,770
And when we speak about the just.

1214
00:41:28,570 --> 00:41:29,390
And here you go.

1215
00:41:29,530 --> 00:41:32,070
An explanation of just and lasting peace.

1216
00:41:32,310 --> 00:41:32,910
Lasting peace.

1217
00:41:33,230 --> 00:41:36,050
And when we speak about the just and

1218
00:41:36,050 --> 00:41:36,650
this war.

1219
00:41:36,790 --> 00:41:40,710
It's difficult to find just in this war.

1220
00:41:42,350 --> 00:41:44,930
Because of such steps of Russia.

1221
00:41:45,730 --> 00:41:47,270
Their war.

1222
00:41:47,630 --> 00:41:50,010
Their way of this war.

1223
00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:51,610
How many people they killed.

1224
00:41:51,890 --> 00:41:54,610
Just killed and thousands in the prison.

1225
00:41:55,250 --> 00:41:56,630
And stolen children.

1226
00:41:56,630 --> 00:41:57,590
Stolen children.

1227
00:41:58,210 --> 00:42:00,610
And that's why we'll never forget it.

1228
00:42:01,790 --> 00:42:03,170
And we can't forget it.

1229
00:42:04,410 --> 00:42:07,750
And even if, I hope that our partners

1230
00:42:07,750 --> 00:42:10,350
on the same page with us.

1231
00:42:10,450 --> 00:42:12,070
Not only hope I see it.

1232
00:42:12,350 --> 00:42:14,050
But we'll never forget it.

1233
00:42:14,110 --> 00:42:17,150
And we will really do everything that people

1234
00:42:17,150 --> 00:42:18,870
who began this war.

1235
00:42:19,510 --> 00:42:20,850
Who unprovoked.

1236
00:42:21,570 --> 00:42:22,190
Unprovoked.

1237
00:42:22,970 --> 00:42:23,890
All these people.

1238
00:42:24,790 --> 00:42:26,830
Yes, really will.

1239
00:42:29,190 --> 00:42:30,370
Will answer.

1240
00:42:31,330 --> 00:42:34,890
And of course we will work on tribunal.

1241
00:42:35,090 --> 00:42:37,930
Even after the hard part of this war.

1242
00:42:38,070 --> 00:42:40,050
Even when we will go to the diplomacy.

1243
00:42:40,470 --> 00:42:44,510
We'll never, never forget these surnames and these

1244
00:42:44,510 --> 00:42:44,850
people.

1245
00:42:45,370 --> 00:42:46,070
Tribunals.

1246
00:42:46,190 --> 00:42:46,490
Okay.

1247
00:42:47,550 --> 00:42:50,910
That's not peace talk with tribunals.

1248
00:42:51,070 --> 00:42:53,830
And this, it's like a turning back the

1249
00:42:53,830 --> 00:42:54,750
clock two years.

1250
00:42:54,850 --> 00:42:56,570
It's the same stuff we've heard.

1251
00:42:58,450 --> 00:43:01,590
And like I explained to my friend Michelle.

1252
00:43:02,230 --> 00:43:03,450
Dude, we're responsible.

1253
00:43:03,670 --> 00:43:05,970
The USA is responsible for this.

1254
00:43:06,130 --> 00:43:07,430
Starts with James Baker.

1255
00:43:08,130 --> 00:43:10,130
Lying that, oh, we'll never expand NATO.

1256
00:43:10,230 --> 00:43:12,290
Then we expanded NATO over and over.

1257
00:43:12,770 --> 00:43:14,130
And then the coup.

1258
00:43:14,850 --> 00:43:16,330
Thank you, Victoria Nuland.

1259
00:43:16,330 --> 00:43:18,490
You just have to chalk that up to

1260
00:43:18,490 --> 00:43:19,050
the USA.

1261
00:43:19,590 --> 00:43:20,850
We let all that happen.

1262
00:43:20,970 --> 00:43:21,870
We let all that go.

1263
00:43:23,850 --> 00:43:27,010
And then Boris Johnson coming in.

1264
00:43:27,070 --> 00:43:29,690
Stopping the peace accord after Minsk II.

1265
00:43:30,510 --> 00:43:32,190
And the Europeans were already like, no, we

1266
00:43:32,190 --> 00:43:33,050
just want to get ready.

1267
00:43:33,170 --> 00:43:35,090
We use Minsk II just as a way

1268
00:43:35,090 --> 00:43:36,370
to arm up and get ready.

1269
00:43:36,890 --> 00:43:38,930
The whole thing has been a big giant

1270
00:43:38,930 --> 00:43:39,290
scam.

1271
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,930
And really when you look at it.

1272
00:43:41,310 --> 00:43:44,170
This is part of the European Union project.

1273
00:43:44,910 --> 00:43:45,470
Yeah.

1274
00:43:45,810 --> 00:43:47,390
In fact, there's a couple of things to

1275
00:43:47,390 --> 00:43:47,730
note.

1276
00:43:48,290 --> 00:43:49,990
Which we don't have clips of.

1277
00:43:50,530 --> 00:43:53,850
But during this little, when Trump went off.

1278
00:43:54,190 --> 00:43:56,270
He did bring up the fact.

1279
00:43:56,390 --> 00:43:58,150
And just something I subscribe to.

1280
00:43:58,610 --> 00:44:00,830
Which was the EU was formed to screw

1281
00:44:00,830 --> 00:44:01,870
the United States.

1282
00:44:01,870 --> 00:44:03,810
Because they were losing out on trade.

1283
00:44:04,630 --> 00:44:08,510
And it formed specifically to outcompete us.

1284
00:44:08,730 --> 00:44:08,990
Yes.

1285
00:44:09,310 --> 00:44:11,810
And it hasn't worked, by the way.

1286
00:44:11,810 --> 00:44:13,850
In addition, one of the big problems.

1287
00:44:13,850 --> 00:44:15,570
There were a couple big promises.

1288
00:44:16,690 --> 00:44:17,510
I was there.

1289
00:44:17,610 --> 00:44:19,130
I was living there when it happened.

1290
00:44:19,850 --> 00:44:22,550
The EU would have all the same money.

1291
00:44:22,630 --> 00:44:23,550
It's going to be great.

1292
00:44:24,150 --> 00:44:26,330
And everything doubled in price the next day.

1293
00:44:26,890 --> 00:44:28,730
The minute the euro came in.

1294
00:44:29,290 --> 00:44:32,290
The next is you will no longer need

1295
00:44:32,290 --> 00:44:32,790
a passport.

1296
00:44:33,090 --> 00:44:37,190
Well, that helped with all the irregular migration.

1297
00:44:37,890 --> 00:44:39,170
That was all planned.

1298
00:44:39,310 --> 00:44:41,090
That was flooded the entire zone.

1299
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,030
And they also promised.

1300
00:44:43,170 --> 00:44:45,790
We will never, ever, ever have a European

1301
00:44:45,790 --> 00:44:46,290
army.

1302
00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:51,370
I remember we played that clip from.

1303
00:44:51,970 --> 00:44:53,010
What's his face?

1304
00:44:53,150 --> 00:44:55,190
The Brexit guy.

1305
00:44:56,110 --> 00:44:56,670
Farage.

1306
00:44:57,070 --> 00:44:59,250
Who said it's just a lie.

1307
00:44:59,370 --> 00:45:00,470
You want a European army.

1308
00:45:00,530 --> 00:45:02,230
No, we'll never have a European army.

1309
00:45:02,550 --> 00:45:05,510
And we'll also never centralize the finances.

1310
00:45:05,510 --> 00:45:09,170
To have a federal central bank.

1311
00:45:09,270 --> 00:45:10,790
Yes, central bank and a tax.

1312
00:45:11,090 --> 00:45:13,850
And a tax, a generalized tax.

1313
00:45:13,950 --> 00:45:17,950
And so they need, in order to complete

1314
00:45:17,950 --> 00:45:20,650
the European Union project, they need the fear

1315
00:45:20,650 --> 00:45:21,250
of Russia.

1316
00:45:22,050 --> 00:45:25,810
And remember, it was, I think it was

1317
00:45:25,810 --> 00:45:27,990
Starmer and it was Macron.

1318
00:45:28,430 --> 00:45:30,470
We are now in a, we have to

1319
00:45:30,470 --> 00:45:33,270
have a war economy mindset.

1320
00:45:33,610 --> 00:45:33,970
A war.

1321
00:45:34,130 --> 00:45:35,330
This is what we're moving towards.

1322
00:45:35,630 --> 00:45:37,790
So that once you have a European army,

1323
00:45:37,790 --> 00:45:40,270
then you need to have European taxes to

1324
00:45:40,270 --> 00:45:41,070
fund that army.

1325
00:45:41,470 --> 00:45:43,510
And now you have the United States of

1326
00:45:43,510 --> 00:45:45,310
Europe, which they always intended to have.

1327
00:45:45,350 --> 00:45:47,370
And they don't care about their people at

1328
00:45:47,370 --> 00:45:48,590
all, at all, at all.

1329
00:45:48,870 --> 00:45:52,770
This is literally the finalization of the project.

1330
00:45:53,250 --> 00:45:56,450
And I'm sure that the globalists like Newland

1331
00:45:56,450 --> 00:46:00,430
and Lindsey Graham and McCain, they were all

1332
00:46:00,430 --> 00:46:00,790
in on it.

1333
00:46:00,810 --> 00:46:01,470
They loved it.

1334
00:46:03,510 --> 00:46:04,470
Lindsey Graham.

1335
00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:05,730
I do have the clip.

1336
00:46:06,510 --> 00:46:07,870
Is the Lindsey Graham.

1337
00:46:08,650 --> 00:46:11,290
He was obviously readied on the scheme of

1338
00:46:11,290 --> 00:46:13,390
the meeting with Trump.

1339
00:46:13,690 --> 00:46:16,210
He started off with, you know, Zelensky had

1340
00:46:16,210 --> 00:46:20,370
a pre-meeting, bipartisan pre-meeting, and he's

1341
00:46:20,370 --> 00:46:22,450
sitting there at the reception line.

1342
00:46:22,630 --> 00:46:24,030
Which is probably a violation of the Logan

1343
00:46:24,030 --> 00:46:25,170
Act, by the way.

1344
00:46:25,930 --> 00:46:26,250
Maybe.

1345
00:46:27,270 --> 00:46:28,550
But they all shaking hands.

1346
00:46:28,690 --> 00:46:30,890
Oh, Vladimir, so good to see you.

1347
00:46:30,990 --> 00:46:32,170
Oh, it's fantastic.

1348
00:46:32,450 --> 00:46:33,390
Do you have the Graham clip?

1349
00:46:33,430 --> 00:46:34,130
I have the Graham clip.

1350
00:46:34,130 --> 00:46:35,430
I have the whole Graham clip.

1351
00:46:35,590 --> 00:46:38,650
It's quite interesting because right after the thing

1352
00:46:38,650 --> 00:46:40,270
that took place, and it starts off when

1353
00:46:40,270 --> 00:46:41,490
I first heard it, because I heard it

1354
00:46:41,490 --> 00:46:42,490
live when it was going on.

1355
00:46:42,550 --> 00:46:43,810
I thought, oh, he's going to turn on

1356
00:46:43,810 --> 00:46:45,590
Trump, which then I did.

1357
00:46:45,750 --> 00:46:49,450
That thought lifted rather quickly because Graham doesn't

1358
00:46:49,450 --> 00:46:50,050
do that.

1359
00:46:51,030 --> 00:46:55,070
Graham is a screwy guy, a pro-war

1360
00:46:55,070 --> 00:46:59,170
guy, but he doesn't turn on the boss.

1361
00:46:59,790 --> 00:47:01,210
And so you ended up with this.

1362
00:47:01,550 --> 00:47:03,470
I don't see your Lindsey Graham clip.

1363
00:47:04,310 --> 00:47:05,110
Under Frakas.

1364
00:47:05,290 --> 00:47:06,250
It's all under Frakas.

1365
00:47:06,450 --> 00:47:08,530
Oh, I see it.

1366
00:47:08,610 --> 00:47:09,190
Yes, Frakas.

1367
00:47:09,390 --> 00:47:09,770
Got it.

1368
00:47:09,870 --> 00:47:11,830
So, Graham, what did I think?

1369
00:47:12,530 --> 00:47:13,190
Complete utter disaster.

1370
00:47:13,190 --> 00:47:14,470
Oh, by the way, stop, stop.

1371
00:47:14,890 --> 00:47:16,110
So the clip was terrible.

1372
00:47:16,290 --> 00:47:18,410
I mean, I think my clip is better.

1373
00:47:18,950 --> 00:47:19,270
Let me see.

1374
00:47:19,330 --> 00:47:20,990
No, this clip is really clean.

1375
00:47:21,530 --> 00:47:23,490
Once it gets going, I've cleaned it up.

1376
00:47:23,790 --> 00:47:24,730
I went through Adobe.

1377
00:47:25,770 --> 00:47:27,270
Believe me, it's understandable.

1378
00:47:27,930 --> 00:47:28,730
I hate Adobe.

1379
00:47:28,970 --> 00:47:30,990
It's so, they've gotten so bad with this

1380
00:47:30,990 --> 00:47:31,770
cleanup stuff.

1381
00:47:31,770 --> 00:47:34,250
They just turn it into AI voices like

1382
00:47:34,250 --> 00:47:35,510
it comes from 11 labs.

1383
00:47:35,730 --> 00:47:37,170
You get used to it.

1384
00:47:37,290 --> 00:47:38,750
Believe me, this is a much better than

1385
00:47:38,750 --> 00:47:38,890
that.

1386
00:47:38,990 --> 00:47:39,930
I know what you have.

1387
00:47:40,050 --> 00:47:41,490
And this, I had both.

1388
00:47:41,570 --> 00:47:42,710
And this one I prefer.

1389
00:47:43,230 --> 00:47:44,990
So, Graham, what did I think?

1390
00:47:45,650 --> 00:47:47,290
Complete utter disaster.

1391
00:47:48,070 --> 00:47:51,390
I've been to Ukraine eight or nine times

1392
00:47:51,390 --> 00:47:52,510
since the war started.

1393
00:47:53,050 --> 00:47:56,990
I understand the consequences of Putin's actions against

1394
00:47:56,990 --> 00:47:57,370
Ukraine.

1395
00:47:58,110 --> 00:48:00,550
I appreciate what the Ukrainian people have done.

1396
00:48:00,550 --> 00:48:01,890
They fought like tigers.

1397
00:48:02,430 --> 00:48:04,490
At the end of the day, I was

1398
00:48:04,490 --> 00:48:07,290
hoping that this minerals deal, which would be

1399
00:48:07,290 --> 00:48:10,950
transformative in the relationship, would go over well.

1400
00:48:11,370 --> 00:48:13,170
I talked to Zelensky this morning.

1401
00:48:13,610 --> 00:48:14,730
Don't take the bait.

1402
00:48:15,410 --> 00:48:17,350
President Trump was in a very good mood

1403
00:48:17,350 --> 00:48:18,110
last night.

1404
00:48:18,450 --> 00:48:21,670
Somebody asked me, am I embarrassed about Trump?

1405
00:48:21,790 --> 00:48:23,410
I have never been more proud of the

1406
00:48:23,410 --> 00:48:23,750
president.

1407
00:48:24,210 --> 00:48:26,350
I was very proud of J.D. Vance

1408
00:48:26,350 --> 00:48:28,630
standing up for our country.

1409
00:48:28,630 --> 00:48:30,410
We want to be helpful.

1410
00:48:30,910 --> 00:48:32,630
What I saw in the Oval Office was

1411
00:48:32,630 --> 00:48:33,410
disrespectful.

1412
00:48:34,290 --> 00:48:35,650
And I don't know if we can ever

1413
00:48:35,650 --> 00:48:38,010
do business with Zelensky again.

1414
00:48:38,650 --> 00:48:42,270
I think most Americans saw a guy that

1415
00:48:42,270 --> 00:48:43,730
they would not want to go in business

1416
00:48:43,730 --> 00:48:44,010
with.

1417
00:48:44,330 --> 00:48:46,950
The way he handled the meeting, the way

1418
00:48:46,950 --> 00:48:49,870
he confronted the president was just over the

1419
00:48:49,870 --> 00:48:50,190
top.

1420
00:48:50,430 --> 00:48:54,650
So I think the relationship between Ukraine and

1421
00:48:54,650 --> 00:48:57,530
America is important, vitally important.

1422
00:48:57,530 --> 00:49:00,730
But can Zelensky do a deal with the

1423
00:49:00,730 --> 00:49:01,450
United States?

1424
00:49:01,570 --> 00:49:03,710
After what I saw, I don't know.

1425
00:49:04,170 --> 00:49:05,610
President Trump, what did he say to you

1426
00:49:05,610 --> 00:49:08,010
about his interactions and whether he's— He was

1427
00:49:08,010 --> 00:49:08,550
shocked.

1428
00:49:08,770 --> 00:49:10,230
He was very upbeat.

1429
00:49:11,170 --> 00:49:14,410
I told Zelensky, we'll talk about security guarantees.

1430
00:49:14,950 --> 00:49:17,250
We'll talk about ceasefires and how the war

1431
00:49:17,250 --> 00:49:17,690
ends.

1432
00:49:17,950 --> 00:49:19,070
This is a process.

1433
00:49:19,670 --> 00:49:21,990
You have a new relationship with America.

1434
00:49:21,990 --> 00:49:26,990
A $500.5 trillion deal that President Trump

1435
00:49:26,990 --> 00:49:29,390
is proud of, that gives us an interest

1436
00:49:29,390 --> 00:49:30,330
worth defending.

1437
00:49:30,770 --> 00:49:32,190
Let's talk about the positive.

1438
00:49:32,890 --> 00:49:35,570
But he was terrible at Munich, Zelensky.

1439
00:49:35,850 --> 00:49:37,850
And I think he has made it almost

1440
00:49:37,850 --> 00:49:40,990
impossible to sell to the American people that

1441
00:49:40,990 --> 00:49:42,490
he's a good investment.

1442
00:49:42,870 --> 00:49:44,310
Senator Graham, thank you.

1443
00:49:44,790 --> 00:49:47,310
Do you think President Zelensky needs to resign

1444
00:49:47,310 --> 00:49:48,450
to presume these peace talks?

1445
00:49:48,450 --> 00:49:51,230
He either needs to resign and send somebody

1446
00:49:51,230 --> 00:49:53,570
over that we can do business with, or

1447
00:49:53,570 --> 00:49:54,710
he needs to change.

1448
00:49:55,030 --> 00:49:56,390
Yeah, he may get resigned.

1449
00:49:56,610 --> 00:49:59,570
By the way, Lindsey Graham is being primaried

1450
00:49:59,570 --> 00:50:02,550
by some MAGA person, I think an ex

1451
00:50:02,550 --> 00:50:03,430
-military guy.

1452
00:50:03,570 --> 00:50:05,330
So he has to suck up to Trump

1453
00:50:05,330 --> 00:50:07,810
to get the ever-important endorsement.

1454
00:50:08,750 --> 00:50:11,070
So, you know, Lindsey Graham, what a tool.

1455
00:50:11,930 --> 00:50:15,190
I have— Yeah, he played his part.

1456
00:50:15,350 --> 00:50:15,850
Yeah, he did.

1457
00:50:15,850 --> 00:50:19,770
I have Rubio post-fracas on CNN with

1458
00:50:19,770 --> 00:50:23,110
the Joker face, Caitlin Collins.

1459
00:50:23,890 --> 00:50:24,510
Two clips.

1460
00:50:24,690 --> 00:50:26,270
I thought this was— The lipless wonder.

1461
00:50:26,430 --> 00:50:27,110
There she is.

1462
00:50:27,190 --> 00:50:29,110
Thank you so much, Secretary Rubio, for being

1463
00:50:29,110 --> 00:50:29,410
here.

1464
00:50:29,650 --> 00:50:31,530
We just heard from President Zelensky.

1465
00:50:31,630 --> 00:50:33,050
He said he does not think that he

1466
00:50:33,050 --> 00:50:36,290
owes President Trump an apology for what happened

1467
00:50:36,290 --> 00:50:37,750
inside the Oval Office today.

1468
00:50:38,070 --> 00:50:39,050
Do you feel otherwise?

1469
00:50:39,770 --> 00:50:40,210
I do.

1470
00:50:40,330 --> 00:50:42,150
I do, because you guys don't see— You

1471
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,170
guys only saw the end.

1472
00:50:43,210 --> 00:50:44,250
You saw what happened today.

1473
00:50:44,250 --> 00:50:45,570
You don't see all the things that led

1474
00:50:45,570 --> 00:50:46,090
up to this.

1475
00:50:46,510 --> 00:50:47,350
So let me explain.

1476
00:50:47,930 --> 00:50:48,930
The president's been very clear.

1477
00:50:49,010 --> 00:50:49,970
He campaigned on this.

1478
00:50:50,130 --> 00:50:51,710
He thinks this war should have never started.

1479
00:50:52,070 --> 00:50:53,550
He believes, and I agree, that had he

1480
00:50:53,550 --> 00:50:55,050
been president, it never would have happened.

1481
00:50:55,530 --> 00:50:56,290
Now here we are.

1482
00:50:56,490 --> 00:50:57,670
He's trying to bring an end to this

1483
00:50:57,670 --> 00:50:58,030
conflict.

1484
00:50:58,150 --> 00:50:59,970
We've explained very clearly what our plan is

1485
00:50:59,970 --> 00:51:01,450
here, which is we want to get the

1486
00:51:01,450 --> 00:51:02,790
Russians to a negotiating table.

1487
00:51:02,890 --> 00:51:05,170
We want to explore whether peace is possible.

1488
00:51:05,490 --> 00:51:06,330
They understand this.

1489
00:51:06,390 --> 00:51:08,830
They also understand that this agreement that was

1490
00:51:08,830 --> 00:51:10,610
supposed to be signed today was supposed to

1491
00:51:10,610 --> 00:51:13,150
be an agreement that binds America economically to

1492
00:51:13,150 --> 00:51:15,350
Ukraine, which to me, as I've explained, and

1493
00:51:15,350 --> 00:51:17,550
I think the president alluded to today, is

1494
00:51:17,550 --> 00:51:19,510
a security guarantee in its own way, because

1495
00:51:19,510 --> 00:51:19,990
we're involved.

1496
00:51:20,070 --> 00:51:20,630
It's not us.

1497
00:51:20,670 --> 00:51:21,350
It's our interests.

1498
00:51:21,770 --> 00:51:22,950
That was all explained.

1499
00:51:23,310 --> 00:51:24,230
That was all understood.

1500
00:51:24,770 --> 00:51:26,950
And nonetheless, for the last 10 days, in

1501
00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:28,830
every engagement we've had with the Ukrainians, there's

1502
00:51:28,830 --> 00:51:31,270
been complications in getting that point across, including

1503
00:51:31,270 --> 00:51:34,070
the public statements that President Zelensky has made.

1504
00:51:34,390 --> 00:51:36,250
But they insisted on coming to D.C.

1505
00:51:36,250 --> 00:51:38,010
This agreement could have been signed five days

1506
00:51:38,010 --> 00:51:40,130
ago, but they insisted on coming to Washington,

1507
00:51:40,550 --> 00:51:41,670
and there was a very—and should have been

1508
00:51:41,670 --> 00:51:44,230
a very clear understanding, don't come here and

1509
00:51:44,230 --> 00:51:46,410
create a scenario where you're going to start

1510
00:51:46,410 --> 00:51:48,850
lecturing us about how diplomacy isn't going to

1511
00:51:48,850 --> 00:51:49,110
work.

1512
00:51:49,830 --> 00:51:52,230
President Zelensky took it in that direction, and

1513
00:51:52,230 --> 00:51:54,090
it ended in a predictable outcome as a

1514
00:51:54,090 --> 00:51:54,370
result.

1515
00:51:54,730 --> 00:51:55,390
It's unfortunate.

1516
00:51:55,730 --> 00:51:57,250
That wasn't supposed to be this way, but

1517
00:51:57,250 --> 00:51:58,330
that's the path he chose.

1518
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:01,110
And I think, frankly, you know, sends his

1519
00:52:01,110 --> 00:52:04,270
country backwards in regards to achieving peace, which

1520
00:52:04,270 --> 00:52:05,710
is what President Trump wants at the end

1521
00:52:05,710 --> 00:52:07,210
of the day, is for this war to

1522
00:52:07,210 --> 00:52:07,530
end.

1523
00:52:07,730 --> 00:52:10,210
He's been as consistent as anyone can be

1524
00:52:10,210 --> 00:52:11,910
about what his objective is here.

1525
00:52:12,730 --> 00:52:14,750
What about the apology he kept demanding?

1526
00:52:14,990 --> 00:52:16,870
But what specifically do you want to see

1527
00:52:16,870 --> 00:52:18,730
President Zelensky apologize for?

1528
00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:20,310
For being a douche.

1529
00:52:21,090 --> 00:52:23,030
Well, apologize for turning this thing into the

1530
00:52:23,030 --> 00:52:24,410
fiasco for him that it became.

1531
00:52:24,810 --> 00:52:26,270
There was no need for him to go

1532
00:52:26,270 --> 00:52:27,530
in there and become antagonistic.

1533
00:52:27,630 --> 00:52:28,670
Look, this thing went off the rails.

1534
00:52:28,770 --> 00:52:29,610
You were there, I believe.

1535
00:52:30,010 --> 00:52:31,230
It went off the rails when he said,

1536
00:52:31,290 --> 00:52:32,490
let me ask you a question to the

1537
00:52:32,490 --> 00:52:32,990
vice president.

1538
00:52:33,050 --> 00:52:34,810
What kind of diplomacy are you talking about?

1539
00:52:35,150 --> 00:52:36,750
Well, this is a serious thing.

1540
00:52:36,870 --> 00:52:38,490
I mean, thousands of people have been killed.

1541
00:52:38,770 --> 00:52:39,090
Thousands.

1542
00:52:39,090 --> 00:52:41,150
And he talks about all these horrible things

1543
00:52:41,150 --> 00:52:43,130
that have happened to prisoners of war and

1544
00:52:43,130 --> 00:52:43,430
children.

1545
00:52:43,730 --> 00:52:44,190
All true.

1546
00:52:44,450 --> 00:52:45,030
All bad.

1547
00:52:45,350 --> 00:52:46,450
This is what we're dealing with here.

1548
00:52:46,510 --> 00:52:47,390
It needs to come to an end.

1549
00:52:47,490 --> 00:52:48,850
We are trying to bring it to an

1550
00:52:48,850 --> 00:52:49,070
end.

1551
00:52:49,230 --> 00:52:50,530
The way you bring it to an end

1552
00:52:50,530 --> 00:52:52,610
is you get Russia to the table to

1553
00:52:52,610 --> 00:52:52,990
talk.

1554
00:52:53,350 --> 00:52:55,970
And he understands that attacking Putin, no matter

1555
00:52:55,970 --> 00:52:58,450
how anyone may feel about him personally, forcing

1556
00:52:58,450 --> 00:53:00,410
the president into a position where you're trying

1557
00:53:00,410 --> 00:53:02,730
to goad him into attacking Putin, calling him

1558
00:53:02,730 --> 00:53:05,890
names, maximalist demands about Russia having to pay

1559
00:53:05,890 --> 00:53:06,770
for the reconstruction.

1560
00:53:06,770 --> 00:53:08,810
All the sorts of things that you talk

1561
00:53:08,810 --> 00:53:09,950
about in a negotiation.

1562
00:53:10,490 --> 00:53:12,370
Well, when you start talking about that aggressively

1563
00:53:12,370 --> 00:53:14,230
and the president's a dealmaker, he's made deals

1564
00:53:14,230 --> 00:53:15,070
his entire life.

1565
00:53:15,390 --> 00:53:16,550
You're not going to get people to the

1566
00:53:16,550 --> 00:53:16,830
table.

1567
00:53:17,110 --> 00:53:19,350
And so you start to perceive that maybe

1568
00:53:19,350 --> 00:53:21,050
Zelensky doesn't want a peace deal.

1569
00:53:21,130 --> 00:53:22,710
He says he does, but maybe he doesn't.

1570
00:53:23,090 --> 00:53:26,330
And that active, open undermining of efforts to

1571
00:53:26,330 --> 00:53:28,650
bring about peace is deeply frustrating for everyone

1572
00:53:28,650 --> 00:53:31,330
who's been involved in communications with them leading

1573
00:53:31,330 --> 00:53:32,310
up to today.

1574
00:53:32,650 --> 00:53:34,450
And I think you should apologize for wasting

1575
00:53:34,450 --> 00:53:35,970
our time for a meeting that was going

1576
00:53:35,970 --> 00:53:36,870
to end the way it did.

1577
00:53:37,710 --> 00:53:40,310
So I'm seeing different things online.

1578
00:53:40,570 --> 00:53:41,790
I didn't clip anything.

1579
00:53:41,990 --> 00:53:44,730
One, because Putin is just speaking in Russian.

1580
00:53:45,290 --> 00:53:48,170
But apparently Putin says, you know, we got

1581
00:53:48,170 --> 00:53:51,170
more rare earth minerals than Ukraine.

1582
00:53:51,430 --> 00:53:51,710
Yeah.

1583
00:53:51,830 --> 00:53:54,130
We can do a deal with America.

1584
00:53:54,470 --> 00:53:55,090
We can do a better deal than they

1585
00:53:55,090 --> 00:53:55,850
can, basically.

1586
00:53:56,050 --> 00:53:57,290
And the other one that I saw was

1587
00:53:57,290 --> 00:54:02,630
some Ukrainian official, who knows, that said, well,

1588
00:54:02,630 --> 00:54:04,670
we just might have to ask China for

1589
00:54:04,670 --> 00:54:05,390
help.

1590
00:54:05,390 --> 00:54:07,590
Which I thought was interesting, if true.

1591
00:54:07,770 --> 00:54:08,810
I haven't seen that one.

1592
00:54:09,110 --> 00:54:12,590
And meanwhile, the professional signs are out in

1593
00:54:12,590 --> 00:54:15,190
front of the Tesla dealership in Manhattan.

1594
00:54:21,310 --> 00:54:23,010
Can you hear what they're singing?

1595
00:54:24,050 --> 00:54:24,370
No.

1596
00:54:24,650 --> 00:54:26,350
Zelensky is a hero.

1597
00:54:26,770 --> 00:54:28,250
Zelensky is a hero.

1598
00:54:28,490 --> 00:54:29,150
Repeat after me.

1599
00:54:29,250 --> 00:54:29,670
Mic check.

1600
00:54:33,270 --> 00:54:36,110
What's that got to do with Tesla?

1601
00:54:36,610 --> 00:54:38,290
Well, Musk, you know.

1602
00:54:38,590 --> 00:54:40,690
Yeah, Musk isn't, he wasn't even in the

1603
00:54:40,690 --> 00:54:40,990
room.

1604
00:54:41,170 --> 00:54:42,770
If we hurt Musk, we hurt Trump.

1605
00:54:42,910 --> 00:54:43,590
I don't know.

1606
00:54:44,070 --> 00:54:46,370
So I have a bunch of, I have

1607
00:54:46,370 --> 00:54:51,350
a series of, uh, FRACA's analysis from NPR.

1608
00:54:51,610 --> 00:54:51,930
Okay.

1609
00:54:52,090 --> 00:54:53,590
Oh, that's always funny.

1610
00:54:54,430 --> 00:54:56,150
Which discusses this issue.

1611
00:54:56,590 --> 00:54:58,410
Can we start off by saying, hey, hi,

1612
00:54:58,470 --> 00:54:59,570
hoi, hi, how you doing?

1613
00:54:59,670 --> 00:55:00,930
Can we start off with one of those?

1614
00:55:03,170 --> 00:55:05,010
I don't know if I've got that one

1615
00:55:05,010 --> 00:55:05,550
in this one.

1616
00:55:06,070 --> 00:55:07,310
This week with that remarkable.

1617
00:55:12,970 --> 00:55:15,910
This week with that remarkable Oval Office press

1618
00:55:15,910 --> 00:55:20,290
conference on Friday with President Trump, Vice President

1619
00:55:20,290 --> 00:55:20,790
Banz.

1620
00:55:21,130 --> 00:55:24,330
And of course, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky.

1621
00:55:24,570 --> 00:55:25,010
Zelensky.

1622
00:55:25,290 --> 00:55:27,530
NPR Senior Editor and Correspondent Ron Elving joins

1623
00:55:27,530 --> 00:55:27,690
us.

1624
00:55:27,750 --> 00:55:29,210
Now, Ron, thanks so much for being with

1625
00:55:29,210 --> 00:55:29,450
us.

1626
00:55:29,670 --> 00:55:30,690
Good to be with you, Scott.

1627
00:55:31,110 --> 00:55:34,110
President and Vice President flanking President Zelensky.

1628
00:55:34,490 --> 00:55:37,370
And then President Trump telling him he ought

1629
00:55:37,370 --> 00:55:39,210
to be grateful for U.S. military aid.

1630
00:55:39,530 --> 00:55:41,110
Yes, that's exactly how it went.

1631
00:55:43,370 --> 00:55:43,850
Okay.

1632
00:55:44,490 --> 00:55:44,870
All right.

1633
00:55:44,950 --> 00:55:46,190
NPR, the national treasure.

1634
00:55:46,470 --> 00:55:49,310
If you didn't have our military equipment, this

1635
00:55:49,310 --> 00:55:51,470
war would have been over in two weeks.

1636
00:55:51,650 --> 00:55:52,270
In three days.

1637
00:55:52,290 --> 00:55:53,510
I heard it from Putin.

1638
00:55:53,650 --> 00:55:54,450
In three days.

1639
00:55:54,790 --> 00:55:55,290
This is something.

1640
00:55:55,290 --> 00:55:55,930
Maybe less.

1641
00:55:56,030 --> 00:55:56,710
In two weeks.

1642
00:55:56,790 --> 00:55:57,590
Of course, yes.

1643
00:55:57,590 --> 00:55:58,750
It's going to be a very hard thing

1644
00:55:58,750 --> 00:56:00,250
to do business like this.

1645
00:56:02,470 --> 00:56:05,970
It's very hard to do business like this.

1646
00:56:06,030 --> 00:56:08,690
Ron, in your experience, anything like this in

1647
00:56:08,690 --> 00:56:10,730
the Oval Office, in front of the international

1648
00:56:10,730 --> 00:56:11,150
press?

1649
00:56:12,010 --> 00:56:12,830
Simple answer.

1650
00:56:12,910 --> 00:56:13,090
No.

1651
00:56:13,690 --> 00:56:15,530
The point appeared to be for Trump to

1652
00:56:15,530 --> 00:56:17,350
send a signal that the world could see,

1653
00:56:17,830 --> 00:56:20,730
including supporters of his America first theme here

1654
00:56:20,730 --> 00:56:23,630
in the U.S., but also including our

1655
00:56:23,630 --> 00:56:26,270
allies in Europe, the countries he wants to

1656
00:56:26,270 --> 00:56:28,810
stop, depending on the U.S. for security,

1657
00:56:29,350 --> 00:56:31,670
and perhaps also a signal to Vladimir Putin,

1658
00:56:32,110 --> 00:56:34,630
with whom he has been quite visibly cooperative

1659
00:56:34,630 --> 00:56:35,730
since returning to power.

1660
00:56:36,210 --> 00:56:38,910
And as to the presence of reporters, it

1661
00:56:38,910 --> 00:56:40,950
was less about the press than the cameras.

1662
00:56:41,570 --> 00:56:43,870
In fact, as the abortive meeting ended, Trump

1663
00:56:43,870 --> 00:56:45,170
could be heard to say to the departing

1664
00:56:45,170 --> 00:56:47,290
crews that it must have made, quote, great

1665
00:56:47,290 --> 00:56:48,430
television, unquote.

1666
00:56:49,350 --> 00:56:51,010
The act as if it was a hot

1667
00:56:51,010 --> 00:56:51,750
mic moment.

1668
00:56:52,010 --> 00:56:52,670
I mean, no.

1669
00:56:52,670 --> 00:56:53,490
Yes.

1670
00:56:53,570 --> 00:56:55,610
And by the way, that was exactly the

1671
00:56:55,610 --> 00:56:57,090
pitch of Susan Rice.

1672
00:56:57,390 --> 00:56:57,590
Yes.

1673
00:56:57,710 --> 00:56:58,050
Oh, yeah.

1674
00:56:58,170 --> 00:57:00,410
But this analysis was identical.

1675
00:57:00,690 --> 00:57:00,890
Yeah.

1676
00:57:00,950 --> 00:57:03,610
And identical to the conversation I had with

1677
00:57:03,610 --> 00:57:06,770
the publisher and identical to the conversation I

1678
00:57:06,770 --> 00:57:07,730
had with the Uber driver.

1679
00:57:09,550 --> 00:57:10,050
Wow.

1680
00:57:10,410 --> 00:57:13,890
That is a strong meme.

1681
00:57:15,550 --> 00:57:19,850
So it was a hijack to suck up

1682
00:57:19,850 --> 00:57:21,090
to Vladimir Putin.

1683
00:57:22,670 --> 00:57:23,170
Yeah.

1684
00:57:23,330 --> 00:57:23,590
All right.

1685
00:57:25,230 --> 00:57:29,430
President Trump gets support from Republicans in Congress

1686
00:57:29,430 --> 00:57:32,510
to essentially flip U.S. policy to support

1687
00:57:32,510 --> 00:57:35,330
Russia because support for Ukraine has enjoyed bipartisan

1688
00:57:35,330 --> 00:57:35,930
support.

1689
00:57:36,190 --> 00:57:36,510
Yes.

1690
00:57:36,850 --> 00:57:39,350
Judging by their public reactions in real time,

1691
00:57:39,870 --> 00:57:41,970
yes, President Trump will get their support, the

1692
00:57:41,970 --> 00:57:44,410
Republicans in the Senate by and large.

1693
00:57:44,890 --> 00:57:47,030
Even some of the biggest defense hawks, like

1694
00:57:47,030 --> 00:57:49,770
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, were calling on

1695
00:57:49,770 --> 00:57:52,830
Zelensky to apologize to Trump for that meeting

1696
00:57:52,830 --> 00:57:55,810
or to resign as president of Ukraine.

1697
00:57:56,390 --> 00:57:58,250
So what they're making it about here is

1698
00:57:58,250 --> 00:57:58,870
the apology.

1699
00:57:59,390 --> 00:58:01,590
That's what we're going to be just hit

1700
00:58:01,590 --> 00:58:03,570
to death with for the next week is,

1701
00:58:04,090 --> 00:58:06,230
oh, he's such a little puny man.

1702
00:58:06,310 --> 00:58:07,370
He wants an apology.

1703
00:58:07,790 --> 00:58:11,750
What I thought was interesting was that after

1704
00:58:11,750 --> 00:58:14,490
he had the fracas, he did.

1705
00:58:14,830 --> 00:58:16,350
I didn't expect this to happen, but he

1706
00:58:16,350 --> 00:58:18,250
did do Brett Baer.

1707
00:58:18,390 --> 00:58:19,070
Brett Baer.

1708
00:58:19,150 --> 00:58:19,790
Yeah, he did.

1709
00:58:20,010 --> 00:58:20,350
Brett Baer.

1710
00:58:20,510 --> 00:58:20,710
Yeah.

1711
00:58:20,770 --> 00:58:22,110
He went to Brett Baer's show.

1712
00:58:22,310 --> 00:58:22,510
Yeah.

1713
00:58:22,690 --> 00:58:25,070
And the whole show, which I was stunned.

1714
00:58:25,150 --> 00:58:26,390
I thought he'd just cancel it.

1715
00:58:26,490 --> 00:58:26,990
But no.

1716
00:58:27,370 --> 00:58:28,830
In fact, I think Baer was stunned.

1717
00:58:29,190 --> 00:58:30,750
He mentioned it several times.

1718
00:58:30,830 --> 00:58:32,490
There's 30 seconds left on this clip.

1719
00:58:32,610 --> 00:58:32,830
I don't want to...

1720
00:58:32,830 --> 00:58:34,150
But I just wanted to also say that

1721
00:58:34,150 --> 00:58:36,310
that's all that show was about was the

1722
00:58:36,310 --> 00:58:36,770
apology.

1723
00:58:36,850 --> 00:58:37,390
Yeah, true.

1724
00:58:38,150 --> 00:58:39,890
Well, Fox News is run by Democrats.

1725
00:58:40,230 --> 00:58:42,190
Others found the whole thing unseemly.

1726
00:58:42,190 --> 00:58:43,990
They were expressing shock in private.

1727
00:58:44,870 --> 00:58:46,710
But on this issue, as on so many,

1728
00:58:47,230 --> 00:58:51,130
Republicans in Congress may utter criticisms or regrets

1729
00:58:51,130 --> 00:58:53,430
here and there, disagree, but they do not

1730
00:58:53,430 --> 00:58:54,230
break with Trump.

1731
00:58:54,810 --> 00:58:56,250
They vote with him.

1732
00:58:56,610 --> 00:58:59,170
They know what that will mean for them

1733
00:58:59,170 --> 00:59:02,050
in the immediate hours thereafter online if they

1734
00:59:02,050 --> 00:59:04,710
oppose him and on the phone and back

1735
00:59:04,710 --> 00:59:06,090
in their districts or their states.

1736
00:59:06,470 --> 00:59:07,850
And they know what it means when they

1737
00:59:07,850 --> 00:59:09,630
next face Republican voters.

1738
00:59:10,370 --> 00:59:10,470
Yeah.

1739
00:59:10,730 --> 00:59:11,010
Yeah.

1740
00:59:11,010 --> 00:59:12,850
It's only about politics.

1741
00:59:13,030 --> 00:59:14,050
It's only about the show.

1742
00:59:14,210 --> 00:59:14,570
Of course.

1743
00:59:14,670 --> 00:59:14,970
NPR.

1744
00:59:15,390 --> 00:59:15,690
Of course.

1745
00:59:16,390 --> 00:59:17,750
It makes nothing but sense.

1746
00:59:18,910 --> 00:59:19,810
Oh, man.

1747
00:59:20,870 --> 00:59:21,310
There's...

1748
00:59:21,310 --> 00:59:23,890
I have two more clips from NPR.

1749
00:59:23,930 --> 00:59:24,950
It was a good moment, though.

1750
00:59:25,150 --> 00:59:28,430
The whole thing was fun and well-timed.

1751
00:59:28,490 --> 00:59:30,030
Thank you, President Trump, doing it on a

1752
00:59:30,030 --> 00:59:31,330
Friday in between shows.

1753
00:59:31,430 --> 00:59:32,290
That was appreciated.

1754
00:59:33,610 --> 00:59:34,590
Oh, it was great.

1755
00:59:35,310 --> 00:59:36,190
What else do you got?

1756
00:59:36,190 --> 00:59:37,350
I thought it was, like, terrific.

1757
00:59:38,670 --> 00:59:39,550
What next?

1758
00:59:39,550 --> 00:59:40,750
In fact, that's one of the...

1759
00:59:40,750 --> 00:59:42,650
Another topic that comes up is that, well,

1760
00:59:42,730 --> 00:59:43,950
this is going to be a horrible...

1761
00:59:43,950 --> 00:59:45,070
No, this is...

1762
00:59:45,070 --> 00:59:45,950
This is...

1763
00:59:45,950 --> 00:59:46,790
This is...

1764
00:59:46,790 --> 00:59:48,070
This show is tough.

1765
00:59:48,150 --> 00:59:48,910
The next...

1766
00:59:48,910 --> 00:59:51,250
I guarantee by Thursday, there'll be another thing

1767
00:59:51,250 --> 00:59:52,710
that'll be just as good as this.

1768
00:59:52,750 --> 00:59:54,670
Yes, JFK files released.

1769
00:59:54,750 --> 00:59:55,690
It's going to be great.

1770
00:59:56,050 --> 00:59:57,190
Well, you don't know about that.

1771
00:59:57,250 --> 00:59:59,850
Let's play this fracas Ukraine rally.

1772
01:00:00,510 --> 01:00:03,570
Ukrainians are rallying around their president, Volodymyr Kuzinski,

1773
01:00:04,010 --> 01:00:06,250
after he was publicly berated in the White

1774
01:00:06,250 --> 01:00:09,190
House yesterday by President Trump and Vice President

1775
01:00:09,190 --> 01:00:10,010
J.D. Vance.

1776
01:00:10,150 --> 01:00:14,590
By the way, there's articles of impeachment now

1777
01:00:14,590 --> 01:00:15,890
in the Ukrainian parliament.

1778
01:00:16,070 --> 01:00:17,950
So I'm not so sure these reports about

1779
01:00:17,950 --> 01:00:20,390
rallying around Zelensky are all that correct.

1780
01:00:20,610 --> 01:00:22,010
I wonder about that myself.

1781
01:00:22,110 --> 01:00:24,890
But it's possible because the guy who is

1782
01:00:24,890 --> 01:00:27,430
pushing the articles of impeachment is one of

1783
01:00:27,430 --> 01:00:31,990
the oppositions that has been pretty much imprisoned

1784
01:00:31,990 --> 01:00:33,970
by Zelensky's dictatorship.

1785
01:00:33,970 --> 01:00:36,070
And I think Trump is correct about this,

1786
01:00:36,270 --> 01:00:36,650
by the way.

1787
01:00:37,170 --> 01:00:39,390
This guy has turned into a dictator that

1788
01:00:39,390 --> 01:00:41,150
for some reason we're all in on.

1789
01:00:41,390 --> 01:00:44,290
By the way, Sir Gene just sent me

1790
01:00:44,290 --> 01:00:44,670
a message.

1791
01:00:44,810 --> 01:00:47,530
He speaks fluent Russian because he's my handler.

1792
01:00:48,450 --> 01:00:50,430
And Sir Gene says, yes, Putin did say

1793
01:00:50,430 --> 01:00:53,210
Russia has way more rare earth than Ukraine

1794
01:00:53,210 --> 01:00:55,170
and is ready to do a deal with

1795
01:00:55,170 --> 01:00:57,430
the U.S. for rare material extraction from

1796
01:00:57,430 --> 01:00:58,170
all of Russia.

1797
01:00:59,950 --> 01:01:01,110
There we go.

1798
01:01:01,250 --> 01:01:02,610
Straight from the translator's mouth.

1799
01:01:02,610 --> 01:01:06,930
We always do well when Putin, actually it

1800
01:01:06,930 --> 01:01:08,930
would be pre-Putin, let the oil companies

1801
01:01:08,930 --> 01:01:11,690
and our oil companies into Russia because they

1802
01:01:11,690 --> 01:01:13,130
didn't have the...

1803
01:01:13,130 --> 01:01:15,050
At the very beginning, Russia's making a lot

1804
01:01:15,050 --> 01:01:16,450
of money off of oil and gas.

1805
01:01:16,890 --> 01:01:18,670
But at the very beginning, they've always had

1806
01:01:18,670 --> 01:01:19,350
the reserves.

1807
01:01:19,530 --> 01:01:20,370
They've had tons of them.

1808
01:01:20,490 --> 01:01:24,030
And everybody knew that because since Stalin, who

1809
01:01:24,030 --> 01:01:26,730
had gotten rid of all the bureaucratic class

1810
01:01:26,730 --> 01:01:30,390
that could do engineering, they had nobody that

1811
01:01:30,390 --> 01:01:32,710
knew how to get the oil out properly

1812
01:01:33,270 --> 01:01:34,650
using modern technologies.

1813
01:01:35,370 --> 01:01:40,470
And so they let our Exxon and BP

1814
01:01:40,470 --> 01:01:42,850
and all the boys came in and showed

1815
01:01:42,850 --> 01:01:44,010
the Russians how to do it.

1816
01:01:44,030 --> 01:01:45,570
And then Russia all of a sudden becomes

1817
01:01:45,570 --> 01:01:48,150
an oil economy because they were shown how

1818
01:01:48,150 --> 01:01:48,910
to do it right.

1819
01:01:49,410 --> 01:01:51,190
And they've benefited from it.

1820
01:01:51,230 --> 01:01:52,930
They know that they could bring in our

1821
01:01:52,930 --> 01:01:54,290
boys again.

1822
01:01:54,290 --> 01:01:56,090
Bring out the broader list again.

1823
01:01:56,650 --> 01:01:57,810
And here we go.

1824
01:01:58,010 --> 01:01:59,890
We could make money for everybody.

1825
01:02:00,030 --> 01:02:01,450
And I just don't get it why we

1826
01:02:01,450 --> 01:02:02,990
don't want to do that more.

1827
01:02:03,370 --> 01:02:04,110
It's just beyond me.

1828
01:02:04,370 --> 01:02:05,590
Clearly, our president does.

1829
01:02:06,710 --> 01:02:08,250
Yeah, but it still comes up with this

1830
01:02:08,250 --> 01:02:09,690
anti-Russian propaganda.

1831
01:02:10,170 --> 01:02:12,930
He comes up against this wall, this Putin,

1832
01:02:13,070 --> 01:02:15,530
Putin, Putin wall, and it's everywhere.

1833
01:02:15,810 --> 01:02:15,990
All right.

1834
01:02:16,010 --> 01:02:17,790
Let's continue with the fracas on NPR.

1835
01:02:18,510 --> 01:02:20,970
NPR's Joannica Kiss's reports from Kyiv.

1836
01:02:27,610 --> 01:02:29,470
Oh, this is their evidence?

1837
01:02:29,730 --> 01:02:30,530
TikTok videos?

1838
01:02:30,870 --> 01:02:31,630
What are you, a podcast?

1839
01:02:31,970 --> 01:02:32,770
What are you doing, NPR?

1840
01:02:39,710 --> 01:02:43,490
One prominent politician, Mustafa Nayyem, wrote on social

1841
01:02:43,490 --> 01:02:47,270
media that the Trump administration hates Zelensky and

1842
01:02:47,270 --> 01:02:51,390
Ukraine and sees Ukrainians as, quote, barriers to

1843
01:02:51,390 --> 01:02:52,490
backroom deals.

1844
01:02:53,070 --> 01:02:55,850
At the Kyiv food market, soldier Denis Sokolov

1845
01:02:55,850 --> 01:02:58,730
says Zelensky wants what's best for Ukraine.

1846
01:02:59,030 --> 01:03:02,490
The main difference is that Ukraine won't make

1847
01:03:02,490 --> 01:03:04,830
a peace, but Trump won't make a deal.

1848
01:03:05,130 --> 01:03:07,490
That's a huge difference in our politics, in

1849
01:03:07,490 --> 01:03:10,270
our vision to how we want to end

1850
01:03:10,270 --> 01:03:10,870
the war.

1851
01:03:10,870 --> 01:03:13,930
Making peace versus making a deal, he says,

1852
01:03:14,030 --> 01:03:15,530
are two different goals.

1853
01:03:15,750 --> 01:03:18,310
Let me just contradict the NPR lady here.

1854
01:03:18,830 --> 01:03:21,930
I have friends in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium,

1855
01:03:22,730 --> 01:03:26,390
the UK, and you know who they really

1856
01:03:26,390 --> 01:03:26,710
hate?

1857
01:03:26,990 --> 01:03:27,910
The Ukrainians.

1858
01:03:28,270 --> 01:03:29,130
They're sick of them.

1859
01:03:29,830 --> 01:03:34,450
Now, you won't hear that, and these friends

1860
01:03:34,450 --> 01:03:36,650
and family members are no fans of President

1861
01:03:36,650 --> 01:03:37,530
Trump, per se.

1862
01:03:37,750 --> 01:03:39,730
They're sick of the Ukrainians.

1863
01:03:39,730 --> 01:03:41,510
And the Ukrainians are walking around doing that.

1864
01:03:41,570 --> 01:03:42,690
I've seen TikTok videos.

1865
01:03:43,170 --> 01:03:44,510
I hate it here in Holland.

1866
01:03:44,890 --> 01:03:46,090
This place sucks.

1867
01:03:46,190 --> 01:03:47,210
The Dutch are no good.

1868
01:03:47,290 --> 01:03:48,150
The food sucks.

1869
01:03:48,310 --> 01:03:48,830
Kind of true.

1870
01:03:50,330 --> 01:03:52,690
It's like the whole thing.

1871
01:03:52,970 --> 01:03:54,850
Ukraine is known for its cuisine.

1872
01:03:55,770 --> 01:03:57,550
They must have something going on.

1873
01:03:57,790 --> 01:03:58,050
All right.

1874
01:03:58,210 --> 01:03:58,750
What's this?

1875
01:03:58,870 --> 01:03:59,690
Oh, the rally clip?

1876
01:03:59,750 --> 01:04:00,450
Is that the next one?

1877
01:04:01,230 --> 01:04:01,450
Yeah.

1878
01:04:01,850 --> 01:04:04,490
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is hosting a

1879
01:04:04,490 --> 01:04:07,350
meeting of European leaders in London tomorrow to

1880
01:04:07,350 --> 01:04:08,550
show support for Ukraine.

1881
01:04:08,550 --> 01:04:08,950
Yeah.

1882
01:04:09,090 --> 01:04:09,450
Okay.

1883
01:04:09,590 --> 01:04:11,310
So we already know what came out of

1884
01:04:11,310 --> 01:04:11,730
that one.

1885
01:04:12,030 --> 01:04:12,310
Yes.

1886
01:04:15,090 --> 01:04:17,990
I mean, I don't know how much more

1887
01:04:17,990 --> 01:04:18,390
we can do.

1888
01:04:18,470 --> 01:04:19,870
The only thing is, I did get a

1889
01:04:19,870 --> 01:04:24,430
note that Haltebak Bunkers, who are a marine

1890
01:04:24,430 --> 01:04:26,830
fuel provider in Norway, has now declared they

1891
01:04:26,830 --> 01:04:28,910
will cease supplying fuel to U.S. Navy

1892
01:04:28,910 --> 01:04:29,330
vessels.

1893
01:04:29,930 --> 01:04:31,390
Well, that seems smart.

1894
01:04:32,450 --> 01:04:32,890
What?

1895
01:04:33,210 --> 01:04:33,510
Yes.

1896
01:04:33,530 --> 01:04:34,530
I missed this one.

1897
01:04:34,690 --> 01:04:35,990
Yeah, let me see.

1898
01:04:36,190 --> 01:04:36,290
Why?

1899
01:04:37,710 --> 01:04:40,010
Because, you know, let me see.

1900
01:04:40,150 --> 01:04:42,190
I have there, we have today been witnesses

1901
01:04:42,190 --> 01:04:45,050
to the biggest, this is apparently from Haltebak

1902
01:04:45,050 --> 01:04:47,470
Bunkers on X, so take it for what

1903
01:04:47,470 --> 01:04:47,950
it's worth.

1904
01:04:48,130 --> 01:04:48,950
Could be bullcrap.

1905
01:04:49,250 --> 01:04:49,650
Could be.

1906
01:04:49,790 --> 01:04:51,750
We have been witnesses to the biggest shit

1907
01:04:51,750 --> 01:04:53,890
show ever presented live on TV by the

1908
01:04:53,890 --> 01:04:55,710
current American president and his vice president.

1909
01:04:55,830 --> 01:04:57,890
Huge credit to the president of Ukraine restraining

1910
01:04:57,890 --> 01:05:00,490
himself for keeping calm, even though the USA

1911
01:05:00,490 --> 01:05:02,510
put on a backstabbing TV show.

1912
01:05:02,570 --> 01:05:04,170
It made us sick, short and sweet.

1913
01:05:04,170 --> 01:05:06,610
As a result, we have decided to an

1914
01:05:06,610 --> 01:05:09,330
immediate stop as fuel provider to American forces

1915
01:05:09,330 --> 01:05:12,010
in Norway and their ships calling on Norwegian

1916
01:05:12,010 --> 01:05:12,450
ports.

1917
01:05:12,610 --> 01:05:14,170
No fuel to Americans.

1918
01:05:14,530 --> 01:05:17,410
We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow

1919
01:05:17,410 --> 01:05:17,990
our example.

1920
01:05:18,230 --> 01:05:19,330
Slava Ukrainia.

1921
01:05:19,850 --> 01:05:20,210
Okay.

1922
01:05:21,530 --> 01:05:21,950
All right.

1923
01:05:22,070 --> 01:05:24,130
I don't know if it's true.

1924
01:05:25,470 --> 01:05:27,810
But it seems highly unlikely.

1925
01:05:27,850 --> 01:05:29,530
Yeah, well, that's why I say it's an

1926
01:05:29,530 --> 01:05:30,110
ex-post.

1927
01:05:30,270 --> 01:05:31,310
You just don't know.

1928
01:05:31,930 --> 01:05:35,810
Um, someone recommended I read The Road to

1929
01:05:35,810 --> 01:05:36,290
Serfdom.

1930
01:05:36,550 --> 01:05:37,790
Have you ever read that from Hayek?

1931
01:05:38,430 --> 01:05:39,590
Long time ago.

1932
01:05:39,930 --> 01:05:40,090
Yeah.

1933
01:05:40,350 --> 01:05:43,990
So this person's book, this is right in

1934
01:05:43,990 --> 01:05:46,070
with, you know, you know, it's a hair

1935
01:05:46,070 --> 01:05:46,950
on fire thing.

1936
01:05:47,250 --> 01:05:47,410
Yeah.

1937
01:05:47,470 --> 01:05:50,170
But in a way, it's kind of, it

1938
01:05:50,170 --> 01:05:52,910
makes sense because Europe wants central planning.

1939
01:05:52,990 --> 01:05:55,930
They want central war planning, which means central

1940
01:05:55,930 --> 01:05:58,870
industry planning, because that's what the war economy

1941
01:05:58,870 --> 01:05:59,250
is.

1942
01:05:59,250 --> 01:06:00,810
They want the central bank.

1943
01:06:00,890 --> 01:06:02,610
They want the finances to get together.

1944
01:06:02,770 --> 01:06:06,670
They want the, they want the European Union

1945
01:06:06,670 --> 01:06:08,350
taxes to pay for everything.

1946
01:06:09,530 --> 01:06:13,630
And, you know, you just, everyone's like, oh,

1947
01:06:13,690 --> 01:06:14,010
whatever.

1948
01:06:14,650 --> 01:06:15,310
I don't know.

1949
01:06:16,390 --> 01:06:17,730
It's kind of sad.

1950
01:06:18,950 --> 01:06:20,170
So they need.

1951
01:06:20,290 --> 01:06:23,550
It goes back to the days of the

1952
01:06:23,550 --> 01:06:26,650
kings and queens and serfs and peasants.

1953
01:06:27,370 --> 01:06:29,190
This is a historic thing.

1954
01:06:29,430 --> 01:06:32,610
They've always had a de fiefdom kind of

1955
01:06:32,610 --> 01:06:33,650
thinking.

1956
01:06:34,170 --> 01:06:34,450
Well, I mean.

1957
01:06:34,670 --> 01:06:35,090
It's pathetic.

1958
01:06:36,150 --> 01:06:38,810
Sorry, EU, but yeah, it does feel a

1959
01:06:38,810 --> 01:06:39,510
bit like that.

1960
01:06:40,590 --> 01:06:43,730
So, well, wait until everyone really lose their

1961
01:06:43,730 --> 01:06:46,590
ever-loving minds when Trump starts doing a

1962
01:06:46,590 --> 01:06:47,250
deal with Putin.

1963
01:06:47,550 --> 01:06:48,230
That'll be fun.

1964
01:06:49,630 --> 01:06:52,070
It's good for the show, but phew, man.

1965
01:06:52,730 --> 01:06:55,230
Oh, it's not going to be fun to

1966
01:06:55,230 --> 01:06:55,570
watch.

1967
01:06:55,570 --> 01:06:56,970
No, but it's good for the show.

1968
01:06:56,970 --> 01:06:58,690
We have just as many Americans who think

1969
01:06:58,690 --> 01:06:59,650
the same way.

1970
01:07:00,070 --> 01:07:03,490
More professional signs as J.D. Vance and

1971
01:07:03,490 --> 01:07:05,610
family go on a quick little break.

1972
01:07:05,870 --> 01:07:07,630
For Vice President J.D. Vance and his

1973
01:07:07,630 --> 01:07:11,130
family, following yesterday's fiasco there in the Oval

1974
01:07:11,130 --> 01:07:13,690
Office with Ukrainian President Zelensky, there's some new

1975
01:07:13,690 --> 01:07:16,370
video now we have showing the vice president

1976
01:07:16,370 --> 01:07:20,750
being greeted by protesters holding anti-Vance, pro

1977
01:07:20,750 --> 01:07:24,610
-Ukraine signs as he makes his way there

1978
01:07:24,610 --> 01:07:26,230
to Vermont for a Stevenson vacation.

1979
01:07:26,230 --> 01:07:27,810
Screw America, pro-Ukraine.

1980
01:07:27,830 --> 01:07:30,710
More protesters met the Vance family outside of

1981
01:07:30,710 --> 01:07:33,470
the resort, and the family ultimately had to

1982
01:07:33,470 --> 01:07:35,090
move to an undisclosed location.

1983
01:07:35,790 --> 01:07:36,910
Undisclosed location.

1984
01:07:37,150 --> 01:07:37,450
Okay.

1985
01:07:37,690 --> 01:07:41,050
This is the same old thing with Maxine

1986
01:07:41,050 --> 01:07:43,450
Waters during the first administration telling, get in

1987
01:07:43,450 --> 01:07:45,430
their faces, get in their faces.

1988
01:07:45,710 --> 01:07:46,190
It's horrible.

1989
01:07:46,850 --> 01:07:47,410
Republicans.

1990
01:07:47,550 --> 01:07:48,770
It's really about Republicans.

1991
01:07:50,670 --> 01:07:53,390
The, so I do have two short clips

1992
01:07:53,390 --> 01:07:58,090
regarding J.D. Vance, Trump, and Starmer about

1993
01:07:58,090 --> 01:08:01,250
the free speech issue, which I still think

1994
01:08:01,250 --> 01:08:03,050
should be called freedom of speech, but okay,

1995
01:08:03,310 --> 01:08:04,550
everyone calls it free speech.

1996
01:08:05,250 --> 01:08:07,650
Here's J.D. Vance making a point of

1997
01:08:07,650 --> 01:08:09,090
it with the British Prime Minister.

1998
01:08:09,370 --> 01:08:11,710
I said what I said, which is that

1999
01:08:11,710 --> 01:08:14,190
we do have, of course, a special relationship

2000
01:08:14,190 --> 01:08:15,590
with our friends in the UK and also

2001
01:08:15,590 --> 01:08:17,710
with some of our European allies, but we

2002
01:08:17,710 --> 01:08:20,350
also know that there have been infringements on

2003
01:08:20,350 --> 01:08:23,729
free speech that actually affect not just the

2004
01:08:23,729 --> 01:08:25,770
British, of course, what the British do in

2005
01:08:25,770 --> 01:08:27,729
their own country is up to them, but

2006
01:08:27,729 --> 01:08:30,450
also affect American technology companies and by extension,

2007
01:08:30,569 --> 01:08:31,250
American citizens.

2008
01:08:31,470 --> 01:08:33,010
So that is something that we'll talk about

2009
01:08:33,010 --> 01:08:33,510
today at lunch.

2010
01:08:34,050 --> 01:08:35,510
We've had free speech for a very, very

2011
01:08:35,510 --> 01:08:37,350
long time in the United Kingdom.

2012
01:08:37,350 --> 01:08:38,590
Yeah, you had it for a very long

2013
01:08:38,590 --> 01:08:39,810
time, and then you did away with it.

2014
01:08:40,350 --> 01:08:42,490
And it will last for a very, very

2015
01:08:42,490 --> 01:08:43,029
long time.

2016
01:08:43,590 --> 01:08:45,649
Well, no, I mean, certainly we wouldn't want

2017
01:08:45,649 --> 01:08:47,910
to reach across U.S. citizens, and we

2018
01:08:47,910 --> 01:08:49,130
don't, and that's absolutely right.

2019
01:08:49,450 --> 01:08:51,410
But in relation to free speech in the

2020
01:08:51,410 --> 01:08:53,430
UK, I'm very proud about our history there.

2021
01:08:53,609 --> 01:08:54,710
I'll bet you're proud of it.

2022
01:08:55,290 --> 01:08:56,370
Here's Keir Starmer.

2023
01:08:56,750 --> 01:08:58,050
What is he talking about?

2024
01:08:58,109 --> 01:09:00,529
They're arresting people for Facebook posts.

2025
01:09:01,370 --> 01:09:06,450
You can get arrested for performative praying, which

2026
01:09:06,450 --> 01:09:07,470
I thought was a great term.

2027
01:09:07,470 --> 01:09:10,149
And so if you pray in front of

2028
01:09:10,149 --> 01:09:12,310
a window and someone sees it, that could

2029
01:09:12,310 --> 01:09:16,790
be seen, you know, as insulting and you

2030
01:09:16,790 --> 01:09:19,109
can get a citation or be arrested for

2031
01:09:19,109 --> 01:09:19,410
it.

2032
01:09:19,670 --> 01:09:23,850
But here's Starmer once again denying this.

2033
01:09:23,910 --> 01:09:24,689
I think he's on Breitbart.

2034
01:09:24,890 --> 01:09:26,710
He did say today, we do have this

2035
01:09:26,710 --> 01:09:28,450
special relationship with our friends in the UK

2036
01:09:28,450 --> 01:09:29,649
and some European allies.

2037
01:09:29,649 --> 01:09:31,330
But we also know that there have been

2038
01:09:31,330 --> 01:09:34,810
infringements on free speech that actually affect not

2039
01:09:34,810 --> 01:09:37,210
just the British, but also affect American technology

2040
01:09:37,210 --> 01:09:39,670
companies and by extension, American citizens.

2041
01:09:40,450 --> 01:09:43,189
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, I think, has

2042
01:09:43,189 --> 01:09:43,870
brought this up.

2043
01:09:44,609 --> 01:09:47,490
This is about UK's Online Safety Act.

2044
01:09:48,250 --> 01:09:51,170
Is the UK and EU trying to censor

2045
01:09:51,170 --> 01:09:51,910
speech?

2046
01:09:52,390 --> 01:09:55,790
No, we don't believe in censoring speech.

2047
01:09:56,910 --> 01:09:58,210
But of course, we do need to deal

2048
01:09:58,210 --> 01:09:58,910
with terrorism.

2049
01:09:59,130 --> 01:09:59,510
We need to do.

2050
01:09:59,570 --> 01:10:00,830
By the way, it's true.

2051
01:10:01,250 --> 01:10:02,470
They don't censor speech.

2052
01:10:02,550 --> 01:10:03,330
They just arrest you.

2053
01:10:03,430 --> 01:10:04,550
That's not the same as censorship.

2054
01:10:04,550 --> 01:10:05,810
He's being very tricky here.

2055
01:10:05,830 --> 01:10:08,970
We don't believe in censoring speech.

2056
01:10:10,330 --> 01:10:11,370
But of course, we do need to deal

2057
01:10:11,370 --> 01:10:12,090
with terrorism.

2058
01:10:12,290 --> 01:10:14,310
We need to deal with paedophiles and issues

2059
01:10:14,310 --> 01:10:14,930
like that.

2060
01:10:15,330 --> 01:10:16,810
But I talked to the vice president about

2061
01:10:16,810 --> 01:10:19,690
it today and we had a good exchange

2062
01:10:19,690 --> 01:10:20,270
about it.

2063
01:10:20,350 --> 01:10:22,730
And of course, he's right to champion free

2064
01:10:22,730 --> 01:10:23,070
speech.

2065
01:10:23,170 --> 01:10:25,190
We champion free speech in the United Kingdom.

2066
01:10:25,890 --> 01:10:27,950
And in relation to the measures that we've

2067
01:10:27,950 --> 01:10:31,910
taken, obviously, we're very mindful that it shouldn't

2068
01:10:31,910 --> 01:10:33,570
have an impact on US citizens.

2069
01:10:33,570 --> 01:10:35,550
Very demure, very mindful.

2070
01:10:35,750 --> 01:10:37,950
Now, what this is about, as you heard

2071
01:10:37,950 --> 01:10:42,650
it mentioned twice, it affects US technology companies.

2072
01:10:42,770 --> 01:10:45,450
What they're talking about here is the Apple

2073
01:10:45,450 --> 01:10:45,890
order.

2074
01:10:46,130 --> 01:10:49,050
This morning, rare bipartisanship in Washington over new

2075
01:10:49,050 --> 01:10:50,950
concerns about American cybersecurity.

2076
01:10:51,510 --> 01:10:53,410
This gives the UK the right to basically

2077
01:10:53,410 --> 01:10:54,690
spy on my data.

2078
01:10:54,990 --> 01:10:56,410
At issue is an order from the British

2079
01:10:56,410 --> 01:10:58,410
government that could affect people right here in

2080
01:10:58,410 --> 01:10:58,930
the US.

2081
01:10:58,930 --> 01:11:02,050
The UK government is reportedly demanding Apple provide

2082
01:11:02,050 --> 01:11:04,770
backdoor access to any data in its cloud

2083
01:11:04,770 --> 01:11:05,570
storage system.

2084
01:11:05,850 --> 01:11:08,190
They've demanded this access not only to citizens

2085
01:11:08,190 --> 01:11:10,890
of their own country, but to citizens around

2086
01:11:10,890 --> 01:11:13,930
the world, which is pretty scary.

2087
01:11:14,270 --> 01:11:15,990
Just last week, Apple said it would stop

2088
01:11:15,990 --> 01:11:18,350
offering an optional security feature in the UK

2089
01:11:18,350 --> 01:11:21,510
called advanced data protection, which is found under

2090
01:11:21,510 --> 01:11:21,990
settings.

2091
01:11:22,010 --> 01:11:25,150
That feature blocks Apple from unlocking your data.

2092
01:11:25,510 --> 01:11:26,970
Apple holds the key to all of the

2093
01:11:26,970 --> 01:11:28,750
data that's uploaded into iCloud.

2094
01:11:28,870 --> 01:11:30,250
And the reason they do this makes sense.

2095
01:11:30,370 --> 01:11:32,730
It's because, oh, I've lost my password.

2096
01:11:32,930 --> 01:11:34,750
And so Apple can say, don't worry, we'll

2097
01:11:34,750 --> 01:11:35,510
take care of you.

2098
01:11:35,730 --> 01:11:37,030
We can get that data back.

2099
01:11:37,230 --> 01:11:39,590
Advanced data protection says, no, no, no, I

2100
01:11:39,590 --> 01:11:41,210
don't want Apple to have the key.

2101
01:11:41,590 --> 01:11:43,110
But the UK may want Apple to go

2102
01:11:43,110 --> 01:11:46,570
further in providing data access, presumably for national

2103
01:11:46,570 --> 01:11:47,970
security or law enforcement.

2104
01:11:48,530 --> 01:11:50,710
Here at home, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi

2105
01:11:50,710 --> 01:11:53,870
Gabbard forming a legal response, saying this would

2106
01:11:53,870 --> 01:11:56,530
be a clear and egregious violation of Americans'

2107
01:11:56,810 --> 01:11:58,010
privacy and civil liberties.

2108
01:11:58,470 --> 01:12:01,670
Lawmakers urging action, saying these dangerous short-sighted

2109
01:12:01,670 --> 01:12:04,310
efforts by the United Kingdom will undermine Americans'

2110
01:12:04,510 --> 01:12:07,110
privacy rights and expose them to espionage by

2111
01:12:07,110 --> 01:12:09,310
China, Russia and other adversaries.

2112
01:12:09,690 --> 01:12:12,170
It's up to American politicians to start putting

2113
01:12:12,170 --> 01:12:14,130
the pressure on the UK and saying, whoa,

2114
01:12:14,210 --> 01:12:15,950
whoa, whoa, whoa, this is an American company.

2115
01:12:16,210 --> 01:12:17,390
This is a bit out of bounds.

2116
01:12:18,130 --> 01:12:22,190
It's kind of interesting to me that, you

2117
01:12:22,190 --> 01:12:24,530
know, the UK is looking at, well, they've

2118
01:12:24,530 --> 01:12:25,930
ordered Apple effectively.

2119
01:12:26,290 --> 01:12:27,710
And I think Apple has complied.

2120
01:12:27,810 --> 01:12:29,170
Like, don't encrypt it.

2121
01:12:29,850 --> 01:12:34,290
And our own spy agency, the NSA, seems

2122
01:12:34,290 --> 01:12:35,470
to be a trans cult.

2123
01:12:36,150 --> 01:12:38,290
They're just talking about talking all day.

2124
01:12:38,490 --> 01:12:39,950
I mean, what is going on in the

2125
01:12:39,950 --> 01:12:40,250
world?

2126
01:12:41,310 --> 01:12:41,990
Have you seen that?

2127
01:12:41,990 --> 01:12:47,370
That NSA situation has not really been exploited

2128
01:12:47,370 --> 01:12:48,910
by the mainstream media enough.

2129
01:12:48,970 --> 01:12:49,950
It seems to me, if I was the

2130
01:12:49,950 --> 01:12:55,210
editor of a Metropolitan Daily, I would take

2131
01:12:55,210 --> 01:12:57,790
that story and just go after it.

2132
01:12:57,790 --> 01:12:59,790
Well, it's the City Journal that's going after

2133
01:12:59,790 --> 01:13:00,150
it.

2134
01:13:00,930 --> 01:13:02,310
That guy, what's his name?

2135
01:13:03,210 --> 01:13:04,110
Christopher Ruffo?

2136
01:13:04,270 --> 01:13:05,570
Ruffo, I think.

2137
01:13:05,750 --> 01:13:06,130
Ruffo.

2138
01:13:06,190 --> 01:13:07,850
Yeah, he's going after it.

2139
01:13:08,610 --> 01:13:11,210
But the mainstream media can't go after it

2140
01:13:11,210 --> 01:13:12,730
because it's anti-trans.

2141
01:13:12,870 --> 01:13:13,870
It's transphobic.

2142
01:13:14,010 --> 01:13:14,830
It's no good.

2143
01:13:15,790 --> 01:13:17,130
They're still all in on that.

2144
01:13:17,250 --> 01:13:18,750
They can't do that.

2145
01:13:23,090 --> 01:13:23,970
So, speaking...

2146
01:13:23,970 --> 01:13:27,310
They're in a bind with this trans thing.

2147
01:13:27,510 --> 01:13:28,710
It's just beyond them.

2148
01:13:28,910 --> 01:13:30,370
Although, yeah, actually, I had a...

2149
01:13:30,370 --> 01:13:31,270
Let me see, I have a clip.

2150
01:13:33,250 --> 01:13:34,990
This is a TikTok clip, no less.

2151
01:13:35,730 --> 01:13:36,250
Oh, no!

2152
01:13:36,250 --> 01:13:36,490
No!

2153
01:13:38,330 --> 01:13:39,570
I'm in your turf.

2154
01:13:40,010 --> 01:13:42,530
This is a gay lady, and she's out

2155
01:13:42,530 --> 01:13:43,070
of the club.

2156
01:13:43,330 --> 01:13:43,670
Howdy.

2157
01:13:43,790 --> 01:13:44,390
My name is Julie.

2158
01:13:44,590 --> 01:13:45,670
I'm an adult human female.

2159
01:13:46,250 --> 01:13:47,830
And to be in the gay club, you

2160
01:13:47,830 --> 01:13:49,970
used to just have to do gay stuff.

2161
01:13:50,350 --> 01:13:51,050
I'm a girl.

2162
01:13:51,270 --> 01:13:52,010
I kiss girls.

2163
01:13:52,270 --> 01:13:52,570
Homo.

2164
01:13:52,830 --> 01:13:53,130
Done.

2165
01:13:53,410 --> 01:13:53,790
Easy.

2166
01:13:54,010 --> 01:13:54,490
Over with.

2167
01:13:54,550 --> 01:13:55,070
We get it.

2168
01:13:55,310 --> 01:13:56,230
No one gives a shit.

2169
01:13:56,590 --> 01:13:58,850
But now to be a gay, it seems

2170
01:13:58,850 --> 01:14:00,110
there's a lot more rules.

2171
01:14:00,210 --> 01:14:01,510
You got to read the fine print.

2172
01:14:02,070 --> 01:14:05,770
You have to subscribe to a political ideology.

2173
01:14:06,330 --> 01:14:09,430
You have to, apparently, be miserable and oppressed.

2174
01:14:09,870 --> 01:14:12,170
You have to hate everyone who thinks differently

2175
01:14:12,170 --> 01:14:12,810
than you.

2176
01:14:13,370 --> 01:14:15,190
Fam, I just can't do it.

2177
01:14:15,430 --> 01:14:17,090
I'm still going to be a gay, but

2178
01:14:17,090 --> 01:14:18,590
I ain't in the club no more.

2179
01:14:18,790 --> 01:14:19,370
All right?

2180
01:14:19,570 --> 01:14:21,270
If you're picking up what I'm putting down,

2181
01:14:21,670 --> 01:14:22,410
let's be friends.

2182
01:14:22,530 --> 01:14:23,190
Let's be friends.

2183
01:14:23,450 --> 01:14:24,590
All right, she's out of the club.

2184
01:14:25,390 --> 01:14:25,790
She's...

2185
01:14:25,790 --> 01:14:26,930
Oh, yeah, she's a big turf.

2186
01:14:29,050 --> 01:14:30,970
I don't think she cares about what anyone

2187
01:14:30,970 --> 01:14:32,570
does, but she just doesn't want to be

2188
01:14:32,570 --> 01:14:34,770
a part of the club, which is a

2189
01:14:34,770 --> 01:14:35,270
good sign.

2190
01:14:35,930 --> 01:14:38,230
Yeah, we found these clips over the years

2191
01:14:38,230 --> 01:14:40,010
of these lesbians, mostly.

2192
01:14:40,230 --> 01:14:43,210
The gay males don't bring it up as

2193
01:14:43,210 --> 01:14:44,970
much, but the lesbians seem to be very

2194
01:14:44,970 --> 01:14:45,890
upset about it.

2195
01:14:46,010 --> 01:14:47,650
All of them except Kara Swisher.

2196
01:14:47,990 --> 01:14:48,870
She's all in.

2197
01:14:49,050 --> 01:14:50,630
She is the leader of the cult.

2198
01:14:52,310 --> 01:14:52,630
Yeah.

2199
01:14:53,330 --> 01:14:54,890
That's because she's a Democrat.

2200
01:14:55,190 --> 01:14:58,430
She's stuck in the Democrat ethos that won't

2201
01:14:58,430 --> 01:15:00,170
allow you not to think that way.

2202
01:15:00,250 --> 01:15:01,190
That's my hate lesson.

2203
01:15:01,310 --> 01:15:02,970
I can't even listen to my hate lesson.

2204
01:15:03,290 --> 01:15:04,390
It's gotten so bad.

2205
01:15:04,410 --> 01:15:05,410
It's hurting the show.

2206
01:15:06,410 --> 01:15:07,370
I'm okay.

2207
01:15:07,510 --> 01:15:08,150
All right.

2208
01:15:08,190 --> 01:15:10,530
Thursday, I'll bring in clips from my hate

2209
01:15:10,530 --> 01:15:10,910
lesson.

2210
01:15:11,330 --> 01:15:13,030
It's okay.

2211
01:15:13,230 --> 01:15:14,390
It's always the same.

2212
01:15:14,730 --> 01:15:16,170
What house are you in today, Scott?

2213
01:15:16,310 --> 01:15:17,370
Oh, I hate Trump.

2214
01:15:17,470 --> 01:15:17,990
Me too.

2215
01:15:18,230 --> 01:15:18,550
Okay.

2216
01:15:20,210 --> 01:15:22,830
By the way, you know, we often play

2217
01:15:22,830 --> 01:15:24,990
these super cuts of the news media saying

2218
01:15:24,990 --> 01:15:26,810
the same thing over and over again.

2219
01:15:28,050 --> 01:15:30,590
Yes, it's an old gag that seems to

2220
01:15:30,590 --> 01:15:31,530
have legs.

2221
01:15:31,730 --> 01:15:33,610
Yeah, so I have a super cut of

2222
01:15:33,610 --> 01:15:34,350
influencers.

2223
01:15:34,350 --> 01:15:38,110
This kind of shows you how smart companies

2224
01:15:38,110 --> 01:15:42,830
are using the internet and TikTok and Instagram

2225
01:15:43,690 --> 01:15:45,230
to do exactly the same.

2226
01:15:45,330 --> 01:15:46,670
They give the influencers money.

2227
01:15:46,770 --> 01:15:47,610
They give them a script.

2228
01:15:48,090 --> 01:15:50,190
And in this case, they all are also

2229
01:15:50,190 --> 01:15:51,330
peeling a potato.

2230
01:15:52,430 --> 01:15:55,450
And this is for some supplement company, I

2231
01:15:55,450 --> 01:15:55,830
believe.

2232
01:15:56,110 --> 01:15:58,130
So it's the exact same thing.

2233
01:15:58,390 --> 01:16:00,590
They're peeling a potato with a potato peeler.

2234
01:16:01,650 --> 01:16:02,570
It's crazy.

2235
01:16:02,690 --> 01:16:03,510
And they say this.

2236
01:16:03,510 --> 01:16:05,210
My dad is one of the highest paid

2237
01:16:05,210 --> 01:16:08,990
nutritionists in California.

2238
01:16:09,350 --> 01:16:11,430
No one believes him when he says these

2239
01:16:11,430 --> 01:16:11,770
things.

2240
01:16:11,990 --> 01:16:13,010
My dad is the highest.

2241
01:16:13,090 --> 01:16:14,710
My dad is one of the highest paying

2242
01:16:14,710 --> 01:16:17,090
nutritionists, yet nobody believes him when he says

2243
01:16:17,090 --> 01:16:17,650
these things.

2244
01:16:17,730 --> 01:16:20,750
My dad was the highest paid nutritionist in

2245
01:16:20,750 --> 01:16:24,470
2024, and still nobody believes him when he

2246
01:16:24,470 --> 01:16:25,090
tells them.

2247
01:16:25,190 --> 01:16:26,950
My dad is one of the highest paid

2248
01:16:26,950 --> 01:16:29,930
nutritionists in all of California, yet for some

2249
01:16:29,930 --> 01:16:32,210
reason, nobody believes him when he says these

2250
01:16:32,210 --> 01:16:32,690
things.

2251
01:16:33,170 --> 01:16:35,690
That's the highest paid nutritionist in California, yet

2252
01:16:35,690 --> 01:16:37,190
no one believes him when he says these

2253
01:16:37,190 --> 01:16:37,570
things.

2254
01:16:37,990 --> 01:16:40,570
My dad's the highest paid black nutritionist in

2255
01:16:40,570 --> 01:16:42,690
Southern California, and yet no one believes him

2256
01:16:42,690 --> 01:16:43,590
when he gives them these simple.

2257
01:16:43,690 --> 01:16:45,350
My dad's one of the highest paid nutritionists

2258
01:16:45,350 --> 01:16:46,650
in all of Florida, yet no one believes

2259
01:16:46,650 --> 01:16:47,750
him when he tells them these things.

2260
01:16:48,030 --> 01:16:50,490
My dad's the highest paid nutritionist in California,

2261
01:16:50,950 --> 01:16:52,370
yet no one believes him when he says

2262
01:16:52,370 --> 01:16:53,010
these things.

2263
01:16:53,650 --> 01:16:55,410
My dad is one of the highest paid.

2264
01:16:55,570 --> 01:16:57,230
My dad is one of the highest paid

2265
01:16:57,230 --> 01:16:59,910
nutritionists, and here are some wild things he

2266
01:16:59,910 --> 01:17:01,730
swears by that no one ever believed.

2267
01:17:01,730 --> 01:17:03,990
My brother's the highest paid nutritionist in Europe,

2268
01:17:04,110 --> 01:17:05,510
yet no one in the US believes him

2269
01:17:05,510 --> 01:17:06,890
when he shares these secrets.

2270
01:17:07,330 --> 01:17:08,690
My dad's a dietician.

2271
01:17:08,850 --> 01:17:10,130
Of course he'll make me a healthy human.

2272
01:17:10,370 --> 01:17:12,150
My dad is the highest paid nutritionist in

2273
01:17:12,150 --> 01:17:14,030
all of New York, but nobody believes me

2274
01:17:14,030 --> 01:17:15,350
when I share this advice.

2275
01:17:15,650 --> 01:17:16,370
There you go.

2276
01:17:17,190 --> 01:17:17,630
Wow.

2277
01:17:18,290 --> 01:17:20,050
Who dug that one up?

2278
01:17:20,110 --> 01:17:22,130
Well, it's very easy to do for yourself.

2279
01:17:22,410 --> 01:17:24,650
If you have the TikTok app, I know

2280
01:17:24,650 --> 01:17:26,150
you only use it on the computer, but

2281
01:17:26,150 --> 01:17:27,610
maybe time to get the phone out of

2282
01:17:27,610 --> 01:17:30,090
the drawer, load the TikTok app.

2283
01:17:30,090 --> 01:17:33,150
And you search for a term, and in

2284
01:17:33,150 --> 01:17:36,330
the TikTok app, when you scroll, then it

2285
01:17:36,330 --> 01:17:37,010
starts playing.

2286
01:17:37,010 --> 01:17:38,610
Yeah, but you get a variety of...

2287
01:17:38,610 --> 01:17:40,370
Yes, but it starts playing the preview.

2288
01:17:40,590 --> 01:17:42,430
So this was literally just scrolling through the

2289
01:17:42,430 --> 01:17:44,510
previews, letting each one play as it came

2290
01:17:44,510 --> 01:17:46,670
by, and then scrolling further to go to

2291
01:17:46,670 --> 01:17:47,230
the next one.

2292
01:17:47,270 --> 01:17:48,250
Did you put this together?

2293
01:17:48,370 --> 01:17:48,930
I did not.

2294
01:17:49,050 --> 01:17:49,570
I did not.

2295
01:17:49,790 --> 01:17:50,950
But I saw how it was done.

2296
01:17:53,270 --> 01:17:54,070
That's astonishing.

2297
01:17:54,610 --> 01:17:55,910
Is it surprising, though?

2298
01:17:56,510 --> 01:17:58,570
It's not as surprising in the least, but

2299
01:17:58,570 --> 01:18:02,010
the obviousity, which is a good word, by

2300
01:18:02,010 --> 01:18:02,310
the way.

2301
01:18:02,550 --> 01:18:03,990
Obviousity, I like it.

2302
01:18:04,510 --> 01:18:10,010
Yeah, the obviousity of this is people should

2303
01:18:10,010 --> 01:18:11,010
be frightened by it.

2304
01:18:11,350 --> 01:18:14,630
This is an op of the highest order.

2305
01:18:15,650 --> 01:18:19,310
We're just being played by these marketing people

2306
01:18:19,310 --> 01:18:21,350
in every which way.

2307
01:18:21,550 --> 01:18:23,510
You want to hear some big pharma plays?

2308
01:18:24,590 --> 01:18:25,210
Love it.

2309
01:18:25,210 --> 01:18:25,650
Okay.

2310
01:18:26,730 --> 01:18:30,410
Okay, first an easy one, just like, what

2311
01:18:30,410 --> 01:18:31,030
do you call it?

2312
01:18:31,110 --> 01:18:32,150
Low-hanging fruit.

2313
01:18:32,310 --> 01:18:34,030
It didn't take long for one-year-old

2314
01:18:34,030 --> 01:18:36,450
Soren's flu symptoms to land him in the

2315
01:18:36,450 --> 01:18:37,510
emergency room.

2316
01:18:37,710 --> 01:18:39,550
It was really overwhelming, and the fact that

2317
01:18:39,550 --> 01:18:42,050
the hospital was already so packed with kids

2318
01:18:42,050 --> 01:18:44,670
that were sick was also a startling thing.

2319
01:18:44,810 --> 01:18:46,170
But as soon as it seemed he was

2320
01:18:46,170 --> 01:18:47,010
getting better...

2321
01:18:47,010 --> 01:18:48,210
He then got RSV.

2322
01:18:48,550 --> 01:18:50,590
We had to quarantine him away from his

2323
01:18:50,590 --> 01:18:53,490
brother, and he was crying to hang out

2324
01:18:53,490 --> 01:18:54,860
with his brother, and it was just...

2325
01:18:55,530 --> 01:18:56,410
It was really heartbreaking.

2326
01:18:57,090 --> 01:18:59,170
Turns out there's been a big increase in

2327
01:18:59,170 --> 01:19:01,530
families dealing with the same situation.

2328
01:19:01,810 --> 01:19:03,390
So it's been different this year.

2329
01:19:03,670 --> 01:19:07,110
Dr. Olukemia Kinronola is used to busy days

2330
01:19:07,110 --> 01:19:09,810
and seeing sick kiddos, but not like this.

2331
01:19:09,950 --> 01:19:12,950
Thank you for picking up on that.

2332
01:19:13,350 --> 01:19:15,490
If there's one thing I despise, it's calling

2333
01:19:15,490 --> 01:19:16,750
kids kiddos.

2334
01:19:18,230 --> 01:19:19,310
It's creepy.

2335
01:19:19,510 --> 01:19:22,210
Busy days and seeing sick kiddos, but not

2336
01:19:22,210 --> 01:19:22,830
like this.

2337
01:19:22,830 --> 01:19:27,090
But on this particular day, we had flu

2338
01:19:27,090 --> 01:19:29,670
A, influenza A positive, about 20 cases.

2339
01:19:29,850 --> 01:19:32,030
In just my panel, it was really alarming.

2340
01:19:32,230 --> 01:19:33,590
It can be tough for parents.

2341
01:19:33,850 --> 01:19:36,630
So many of these viruses have similar symptoms.

2342
01:19:36,830 --> 01:19:39,090
Runny noses, coughs, some sort of fever.

2343
01:19:39,290 --> 01:19:41,230
But we asked, what is the key to

2344
01:19:41,230 --> 01:19:42,190
telling them apart?

2345
01:19:42,330 --> 01:19:43,050
For the flu...

2346
01:19:43,050 --> 01:19:47,070
If you see high fever, chills, lethargy.

2347
01:19:47,210 --> 01:19:48,190
For RSV...

2348
01:19:48,190 --> 01:19:51,370
Respiratory distress, either wheezing or just you can

2349
01:19:51,370 --> 01:19:52,810
see the retractions in the chest.

2350
01:19:52,810 --> 01:19:54,230
For COVID...

2351
01:19:54,230 --> 01:19:56,630
Some form of lymph nodes, so they're inflamed.

2352
01:19:56,990 --> 01:19:58,050
So that's more COVID.

2353
01:19:58,350 --> 01:19:59,370
And neurovirus.

2354
01:19:59,470 --> 01:20:01,210
Have a fever, not as high, usually it's

2355
01:20:01,210 --> 01:20:02,130
about like the 99.

2356
01:20:02,450 --> 01:20:03,310
Neurovirus, yes.

2357
01:20:03,410 --> 01:20:04,070
So we have four.

2358
01:20:04,210 --> 01:20:05,050
To 101.

2359
01:20:05,330 --> 01:20:07,430
And once kids do start to feel better,

2360
01:20:07,670 --> 01:20:10,970
they're actually more susceptible to other viruses at

2361
01:20:10,970 --> 01:20:11,410
that point.

2362
01:20:11,610 --> 01:20:13,930
The immune system was no easier for them

2363
01:20:13,930 --> 01:20:14,930
to get everything else.

2364
01:20:15,070 --> 01:20:17,370
After treatment, Soren is feeling better.

2365
01:20:17,510 --> 01:20:19,130
We're definitely on the up and up now.

2366
01:20:19,770 --> 01:20:22,130
Doctors say during this time, keep an eye

2367
01:20:22,130 --> 01:20:24,750
on your kid's symptoms and know that early

2368
01:20:24,750 --> 01:20:26,450
intervention works best.

2369
01:20:26,490 --> 01:20:27,930
You know, you know your child and kind

2370
01:20:27,930 --> 01:20:29,910
of trust your gut a little bit.

2371
01:20:30,310 --> 01:20:32,190
And in flu season, I'll be honest, it's

2372
01:20:32,190 --> 01:20:33,610
probably better safe than sorry.

2373
01:20:33,830 --> 01:20:35,070
So there's your quaddemic.

2374
01:20:35,910 --> 01:20:38,250
Unfortunately, the kid's not puking with norovirus.

2375
01:20:38,470 --> 01:20:39,390
But this one...

2376
01:20:39,390 --> 01:20:40,550
Yeah, how does that work?

2377
01:20:40,790 --> 01:20:43,010
How do you get norovirus and not puke?

2378
01:20:43,490 --> 01:20:46,310
Now, this is my favorite because it is,

2379
01:20:46,390 --> 01:20:47,570
this is a very important week.

2380
01:20:47,570 --> 01:20:50,030
And I'm not downplaying the importance of the

2381
01:20:50,030 --> 01:20:53,550
week because my daughter had an eating disorder.

2382
01:20:53,790 --> 01:20:55,830
My stepdaughter had an eating disorder.

2383
01:20:56,410 --> 01:20:58,370
Lots of girls have eating disorders.

2384
01:20:58,550 --> 01:21:00,970
But it is National Eating Disorder Week.

2385
01:21:01,070 --> 01:21:02,830
So let's celebrate with a new term.

2386
01:21:03,130 --> 01:21:04,850
On the Medical Watch this afternoon, it's National

2387
01:21:04,850 --> 01:21:06,450
Eating Disorder Awareness Week.

2388
01:21:06,610 --> 01:21:08,750
And there is a disorder affecting boys and

2389
01:21:08,750 --> 01:21:10,990
young men that you've likely never heard about.

2390
01:21:11,050 --> 01:21:12,750
It's called bigorexia.

2391
01:21:13,590 --> 01:21:14,070
Bigorexia.

2392
01:21:14,290 --> 01:21:15,430
Have you ever heard of this, John?

2393
01:21:15,550 --> 01:21:16,490
You've likely never heard of it.

2394
01:21:16,930 --> 01:21:18,470
But not bigorexia.

2395
01:21:18,910 --> 01:21:20,930
Dr. Huma Khan is the Director of Adolescent

2396
01:21:20,930 --> 01:21:23,370
Medicine at Advocate Children's Hospital and joins me

2397
01:21:23,370 --> 01:21:23,650
now.

2398
01:21:23,930 --> 01:21:24,930
Thanks for being with us.

2399
01:21:25,270 --> 01:21:27,570
So first of all, what is bigorexia?

2400
01:21:27,890 --> 01:21:27,990
Yeah.

2401
01:21:28,090 --> 01:21:30,710
So bigorexia is a term that describes muscle

2402
01:21:30,710 --> 01:21:31,510
dysmorphia.

2403
01:21:32,190 --> 01:21:34,470
It's a type of body dysmorphia in which

2404
01:21:34,470 --> 01:21:38,290
an individual is hyper-focused on getting very

2405
01:21:38,290 --> 01:21:39,310
muscular and lean.

2406
01:21:39,710 --> 01:21:40,930
And so what are some of the warning

2407
01:21:40,930 --> 01:21:42,250
signs to watch for?

2408
01:21:42,510 --> 01:21:43,210
Two warning signs.

2409
01:21:43,210 --> 01:21:44,250
Some of the warning signs.

2410
01:21:44,270 --> 01:21:45,050
He's in the gym too much.

2411
01:21:45,050 --> 01:21:47,110
Yes, this is crazy.

2412
01:21:47,670 --> 01:21:48,150
Bigorexia.

2413
01:21:48,250 --> 01:21:49,630
What are some of the warning signs?

2414
01:21:49,770 --> 01:21:51,630
Some of the warning signs to watch for.

2415
01:21:51,990 --> 01:21:54,330
So some of the warning signs are...

2416
01:21:54,330 --> 01:21:55,770
He'll kick your ass is one of them.

2417
01:21:56,130 --> 01:21:58,830
Your child is just getting very interested and

2418
01:21:58,830 --> 01:21:59,450
working out.

2419
01:21:59,590 --> 01:22:00,010
Oh no.

2420
01:22:00,470 --> 01:22:01,890
Oh, heaven forbid.

2421
01:22:02,230 --> 01:22:04,010
When you're interested in working out, you better

2422
01:22:04,010 --> 01:22:04,770
lay down, son.

2423
01:22:04,830 --> 01:22:05,850
You've got bigorexia.

2424
01:22:06,070 --> 01:22:07,750
And if these workouts are very expensive.

2425
01:22:07,990 --> 01:22:10,650
This isn't an April Fool's joke.

2426
01:22:10,670 --> 01:22:12,170
No, no, no, it's not.

2427
01:22:12,170 --> 01:22:15,850
This lady had a white lab coat on

2428
01:22:15,850 --> 01:22:17,210
and a stethoscope and everything.

2429
01:22:17,330 --> 01:22:20,310
Happening every day, multiple times a day.

2430
01:22:21,110 --> 01:22:23,070
And if this is also paired with any

2431
01:22:23,070 --> 01:22:26,370
restrictive eating behaviors, like adhering to a fad

2432
01:22:26,370 --> 01:22:29,430
diet, cutting calories, cutting carbs to the point

2433
01:22:29,430 --> 01:22:31,790
where you're noticing your child is no longer

2434
01:22:31,790 --> 01:22:33,010
eating like they used to.

2435
01:22:33,250 --> 01:22:34,010
But what's the difference?

2436
01:22:34,030 --> 01:22:35,930
Do you mean like eating healthy and...

2437
01:22:36,730 --> 01:22:37,750
What is this?

2438
01:22:37,750 --> 01:22:39,990
Your kid needs like an anti-report.

2439
01:22:40,230 --> 01:22:40,550
This is great.

2440
01:22:40,550 --> 01:22:42,790
No longer eating like they used to.

2441
01:22:43,050 --> 01:22:44,630
But what's the difference between, you know, a

2442
01:22:44,630 --> 01:22:46,710
child who becomes kind of aware of their

2443
01:22:46,710 --> 01:22:48,710
looks, if you will, as they enter the

2444
01:22:48,710 --> 01:22:50,330
teenage years and one who...

2445
01:22:51,150 --> 01:22:52,390
Watches Joe Rogan.

2446
01:22:52,550 --> 01:22:55,210
Is exhibiting conduct that parents should be concerned

2447
01:22:55,210 --> 01:22:55,510
about.

2448
01:22:55,710 --> 01:22:57,970
Yeah, I think that's a really interesting point.

2449
01:22:58,090 --> 01:23:00,390
And this week is National Eating Disorders Awareness

2450
01:23:00,390 --> 01:23:00,710
Week.

2451
01:23:01,190 --> 01:23:03,970
And I think it's really interesting to think

2452
01:23:03,970 --> 01:23:06,330
about, you know, we focus on eating healthy

2453
01:23:06,330 --> 01:23:08,490
and exercising and how that's important.

2454
01:23:08,490 --> 01:23:10,870
But it's also important to note that when

2455
01:23:10,870 --> 01:23:12,830
these things are done in excess, it can

2456
01:23:12,830 --> 01:23:13,950
be very dangerous.

2457
01:23:15,290 --> 01:23:15,770
Bigorexia.

2458
01:23:15,990 --> 01:23:16,730
There you go.

2459
01:23:17,050 --> 01:23:17,210
How is it dangerous?

2460
01:23:17,590 --> 01:23:19,030
By the way, the first report I wanted

2461
01:23:19,030 --> 01:23:20,110
to make a comment on.

2462
01:23:20,310 --> 01:23:20,610
Yes.

2463
01:23:20,690 --> 01:23:23,690
They like the idea of softening you up

2464
01:23:23,690 --> 01:23:27,010
with the kind of pre-propagandizing the public

2465
01:23:27,010 --> 01:23:31,250
that, oh, your kid has influenza, and he

2466
01:23:31,250 --> 01:23:32,910
gets RSV on top of that.

2467
01:23:33,330 --> 01:23:34,410
They always like to...

2468
01:23:34,410 --> 01:23:36,090
Which I don't know how often this happens.

2469
01:23:36,090 --> 01:23:38,570
But the idea is to make you think

2470
01:23:38,570 --> 01:23:40,070
that you're going to get two things at

2471
01:23:40,070 --> 01:23:40,550
once.

2472
01:23:42,150 --> 01:23:45,290
To keep in play the idea that when

2473
01:23:45,290 --> 01:23:48,090
you get the flu, you can also get

2474
01:23:48,090 --> 01:23:50,370
bird flu or something, or the two will

2475
01:23:50,370 --> 01:23:53,670
intermix and a third new disease will evolve.

2476
01:23:54,450 --> 01:23:56,850
You know, that whole concept, which is very

2477
01:23:56,850 --> 01:24:00,570
sketchy, has to be in the public frame

2478
01:24:00,570 --> 01:24:02,750
of mind so we can always keep people

2479
01:24:02,750 --> 01:24:03,950
in a state of fear.

2480
01:24:04,490 --> 01:24:04,590
Yes.

2481
01:24:05,110 --> 01:24:10,530
Bigorexia, also known as reverse anorexia, or megorexia.

2482
01:24:11,410 --> 01:24:12,810
How about magorexia?

2483
01:24:12,950 --> 01:24:13,650
There's a new one.

2484
01:24:14,470 --> 01:24:14,990
Magorexia.

2485
01:24:16,710 --> 01:24:17,890
I'm going to write it down.

2486
01:24:19,270 --> 01:24:19,790
Magorexia.

2487
01:24:20,130 --> 01:24:21,330
It'll be a thing.

2488
01:24:21,410 --> 01:24:21,870
You watch.

2489
01:24:22,090 --> 01:24:23,050
Magorexia will be a thing.

2490
01:24:23,230 --> 01:24:24,910
You have to define what it is exactly.

2491
01:24:25,170 --> 01:24:28,370
It's a beefed up Trump supporter.

2492
01:24:29,890 --> 01:24:31,110
No, no.

2493
01:24:31,670 --> 01:24:32,190
Bodyguards.

2494
01:24:32,330 --> 01:24:33,250
You wear red hats.

2495
01:24:33,970 --> 01:24:34,510
That's it.

2496
01:24:34,610 --> 01:24:35,510
That's magorexia.

2497
01:24:36,910 --> 01:24:38,910
I found this to be fascinating.

2498
01:24:39,270 --> 01:24:42,350
I can back up his claim about the

2499
01:24:42,350 --> 01:24:43,530
event taking place.

2500
01:24:43,830 --> 01:24:46,730
I can't back up his lab claims.

2501
01:24:46,910 --> 01:24:48,550
This is Dr. David Erb.

2502
01:24:49,190 --> 01:24:50,950
Dr. David Erb.

2503
01:24:51,030 --> 01:24:52,730
Not Herb, but Dr. David Erb.

2504
01:24:52,930 --> 01:24:53,810
The ERB, yeah.

2505
01:24:53,890 --> 01:24:56,250
Yes, and he has an explanation for the

2506
01:24:56,250 --> 01:24:58,990
measles outbreak in Texas, which I thought was

2507
01:24:58,990 --> 01:25:00,150
worth sharing.

2508
01:25:00,430 --> 01:25:00,870
Hi, everybody.

2509
01:25:00,990 --> 01:25:02,530
This is Dr. David Erb, Erb Family Wellness.

2510
01:25:02,530 --> 01:25:05,310
Quickly, everybody needs to know that it's national

2511
01:25:05,310 --> 01:25:07,530
news that there's a, quote, outbreak of measles

2512
01:25:07,530 --> 01:25:09,850
in Texas, and it's in Gaines County, Texas.

2513
01:25:10,490 --> 01:25:13,870
And the outbreak started with 14 individuals.

2514
01:25:13,990 --> 01:25:14,690
It was the outbreak.

2515
01:25:14,870 --> 01:25:16,030
The outbreak, 14 people.

2516
01:25:16,510 --> 01:25:17,870
What they did not tell you is, guess

2517
01:25:17,870 --> 01:25:20,490
what happened that caused the outbreak in Gaines

2518
01:25:20,490 --> 01:25:21,910
County, Texas?

2519
01:25:22,330 --> 01:25:25,930
It was a free measles vaccine campaign that

2520
01:25:25,930 --> 01:25:29,850
vaccinated a bunch of individuals and literally is

2521
01:25:29,850 --> 01:25:32,610
the cause of the outbreak.

2522
01:25:33,470 --> 01:25:36,050
If you actually, there's receipts on this.

2523
01:25:36,110 --> 01:25:37,210
You can actually go back and look.

2524
01:25:37,310 --> 01:25:38,190
There's articles on it.

2525
01:25:38,490 --> 01:25:40,410
And I know the propaganda wheel is turning,

2526
01:25:40,550 --> 01:25:41,350
but here's the thing.

2527
01:25:42,790 --> 01:25:44,970
It's not a coincidence that it's happening right

2528
01:25:44,970 --> 01:25:46,930
now when RFK Jr. is about to put

2529
01:25:46,930 --> 01:25:49,630
a dent in the whole pharmaceutical vaccine industry.

2530
01:25:50,090 --> 01:25:50,830
But here's the other thing.

2531
01:25:51,170 --> 01:25:53,930
There's a test called reverse transcriptase, RNA test,

2532
01:25:53,970 --> 01:25:56,590
that you can test individuals that have infections

2533
01:25:56,590 --> 01:25:58,410
and things and look at the virus.

2534
01:25:58,650 --> 01:25:59,850
And if you do that when people with

2535
01:25:59,850 --> 01:26:02,110
measles, you can see if it's a wild

2536
01:26:02,110 --> 01:26:04,550
viral strain of measles or if it's a

2537
01:26:04,550 --> 01:26:06,270
vaccine strain of measles.

2538
01:26:06,650 --> 01:26:08,690
And guess what you find invariably almost every

2539
01:26:08,690 --> 01:26:10,070
single time when you see these outbreaks.

2540
01:26:10,430 --> 01:26:11,770
Do you think it's wild measles or do

2541
01:26:11,770 --> 01:26:14,070
you think it's actually vaccines measles?

2542
01:26:14,350 --> 01:26:15,930
And what you invariably find most of the

2543
01:26:15,930 --> 01:26:18,410
time is that it's actually a vaccine strain

2544
01:26:18,410 --> 01:26:20,770
of measles, not wild measles, which means guess

2545
01:26:20,770 --> 01:26:21,650
what the cause of it was?

2546
01:26:21,930 --> 01:26:24,930
The cause was the vaccine program in a

2547
01:26:24,930 --> 01:26:27,090
time where they're actually trying to prove, you

2548
01:26:27,090 --> 01:26:29,950
know, that vaccines eradicate all these quote unquote

2549
01:26:29,950 --> 01:26:32,230
diseases when really the only thing that's keeping

2550
01:26:32,230 --> 01:26:34,890
these things going is literally the vaccine programs

2551
01:26:34,890 --> 01:26:36,290
that are actually causing people to get sick.

2552
01:26:36,770 --> 01:26:39,250
So I don't know about this claim.

2553
01:26:39,530 --> 01:26:39,930
I buy it.

2554
01:26:39,930 --> 01:26:40,030
I buy it.

2555
01:26:40,030 --> 01:26:40,770
And I'll tell you why.

2556
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:41,990
I buy it too.

2557
01:26:42,210 --> 01:26:42,470
Yes.

2558
01:26:42,710 --> 01:26:44,950
I buy it because this reminds me of

2559
01:26:44,950 --> 01:26:45,990
the swine flu.

2560
01:26:48,010 --> 01:26:50,370
The number of vaccines that went out with

2561
01:26:50,370 --> 01:26:53,010
life swine flu in them and it was

2562
01:26:53,010 --> 01:26:55,030
some sort of a supposed accident.

2563
01:26:55,030 --> 01:26:56,610
I never believed that.

2564
01:26:57,370 --> 01:27:00,010
It was designed to plant swine flu.

2565
01:27:00,670 --> 01:27:00,770
Yes.

2566
01:27:01,050 --> 01:27:01,650
Good work.

2567
01:27:03,490 --> 01:27:06,130
And this makes nothing but sense because Kennedy's

2568
01:27:06,130 --> 01:27:06,730
coming in.

2569
01:27:07,070 --> 01:27:10,430
Let's plant some measles, a measles quote unquote

2570
01:27:10,430 --> 01:27:14,010
outbreak and then make a big fuss about

2571
01:27:14,010 --> 01:27:14,150
it.

2572
01:27:14,230 --> 01:27:17,590
I mean, listen, we don't put anything past

2573
01:27:17,590 --> 01:27:19,190
these ghouls.

2574
01:27:19,190 --> 01:27:22,130
Just because there's billions of dollars involved in

2575
01:27:22,130 --> 01:27:23,190
free money.

2576
01:27:23,190 --> 01:27:26,090
I mean, why wouldn't you try this trick?

2577
01:27:26,330 --> 01:27:26,610
Yes.

2578
01:27:27,050 --> 01:27:29,390
I mean, just like Hollywood, you know, let's

2579
01:27:29,390 --> 01:27:30,470
get rid of Gene Hackman.

2580
01:27:30,670 --> 01:27:31,930
Everyone will watch the Oscars.

2581
01:27:32,290 --> 01:27:34,770
And remember, Conclave is in the running.

2582
01:27:35,030 --> 01:27:36,230
So what we are hearing is the word

2583
01:27:36,230 --> 01:27:37,370
out of the Vatican is that the Pope

2584
01:27:37,370 --> 01:27:38,450
is in serious condition.

2585
01:27:38,710 --> 01:27:41,390
The words that they're using are extremely concerning.

2586
01:27:41,710 --> 01:27:43,830
He's been hospitalized for more than two weeks

2587
01:27:43,830 --> 01:27:45,730
with pneumonia and bronchitis.

2588
01:27:45,930 --> 01:27:47,970
And although it appeared as if his condition

2589
01:27:47,970 --> 01:27:50,430
was improving, things have taken a turn.

2590
01:27:50,470 --> 01:27:52,450
According to official reports, the Holy Father was

2591
01:27:52,450 --> 01:27:54,750
up this morning and praying in the chapel.

2592
01:27:55,310 --> 01:27:57,930
At some point, he suffered an isolated coughing

2593
01:27:57,930 --> 01:28:00,210
fit, which caused him to start vomiting.

2594
01:28:00,850 --> 01:28:03,090
And there's an isolated coughing fit.

2595
01:28:03,190 --> 01:28:04,550
That's quite the coughing fit.

2596
01:28:04,650 --> 01:28:06,470
If you start vomiting, this is not good

2597
01:28:06,470 --> 01:28:08,530
morning and praying in the chapel.

2598
01:28:08,690 --> 01:28:11,690
At some point, he suffered an isolated coughing

2599
01:28:11,690 --> 01:28:13,950
fit, which caused him to start vomiting.

2600
01:28:14,090 --> 01:28:16,650
And there's concern about aspiration, which is when

2601
01:28:16,650 --> 01:28:19,030
food or liquid goes into your airway instead

2602
01:28:19,030 --> 01:28:20,290
of through your esophagus.

2603
01:28:20,290 --> 01:28:23,010
The episode was so intense that he's receiving

2604
01:28:23,010 --> 01:28:25,910
what we are told is non-invasive medical

2605
01:28:25,910 --> 01:28:26,550
ventilation.

2606
01:28:26,950 --> 01:28:28,110
So what does that exactly mean?

2607
01:28:28,330 --> 01:28:30,790
Here's pulmonologist Dr. Barbara Mann from Mount Sinai.

2608
01:28:30,830 --> 01:28:33,190
We bring in the pulmonologist to explain this.

2609
01:28:33,630 --> 01:28:36,190
Non-invasive mechanical ventilation is a tight-fitting

2610
01:28:36,190 --> 01:28:38,350
mask that fits over your nose and mouth

2611
01:28:38,350 --> 01:28:40,970
and pushes air in and supports the work

2612
01:28:40,970 --> 01:28:41,450
of breathing.

2613
01:28:41,670 --> 01:28:42,670
This is really concerning.

2614
01:28:42,850 --> 01:28:43,790
He's an elderly man.

2615
01:28:43,930 --> 01:28:46,930
He's had many pulmonary complications to begin with.

2616
01:28:47,330 --> 01:28:48,710
He's been in the hospital for a while

2617
01:28:48,710 --> 01:28:49,150
now.

2618
01:28:49,150 --> 01:28:51,530
And although he may have been stable for

2619
01:28:51,530 --> 01:28:53,810
a couple of days, going into this acute

2620
01:28:53,810 --> 01:28:57,010
episode, I'm sure it set him back a

2621
01:28:57,010 --> 01:28:57,350
lot.

2622
01:28:57,770 --> 01:29:00,190
And it's unclear whether he'll be able to

2623
01:29:00,190 --> 01:29:01,490
recover from that or not.

2624
01:29:01,650 --> 01:29:03,270
So the question on everybody's mind says, Pope

2625
01:29:03,270 --> 01:29:05,210
Francis has been given his last rites, which

2626
01:29:05,210 --> 01:29:06,910
if you're not Catholic, it's a sacrament given

2627
01:29:06,910 --> 01:29:08,250
to those who are close to death.

2628
01:29:08,490 --> 01:29:10,170
That's like a question that was not in

2629
01:29:10,170 --> 01:29:11,950
my mind, but thanks for bringing it up.

2630
01:29:12,270 --> 01:29:13,190
It's not a question in my mind.

2631
01:29:13,590 --> 01:29:15,210
And it's not when you're close to death,

2632
01:29:15,210 --> 01:29:16,030
it's you're dying.

2633
01:29:16,290 --> 01:29:18,310
You're in the process of either dying or

2634
01:29:18,310 --> 01:29:19,510
you just died.

2635
01:29:19,830 --> 01:29:22,130
You're just right there at the death's bed.

2636
01:29:22,230 --> 01:29:23,690
It's not because you're gonna die.

2637
01:29:23,850 --> 01:29:25,010
You can do that tomorrow then.

2638
01:29:25,190 --> 01:29:27,130
The reason why we need this is because

2639
01:29:27,130 --> 01:29:28,170
of the Oscars tonight.

2640
01:29:28,470 --> 01:29:31,230
And it's unclear whether he'll be able to

2641
01:29:31,230 --> 01:29:31,830
recover.

2642
01:29:32,270 --> 01:29:34,190
I gotta say that you're probably right.

2643
01:29:34,590 --> 01:29:36,390
So the question on everybody's mind says-

2644
01:29:36,390 --> 01:29:37,090
Everybody's mind.

2645
01:29:37,170 --> 01:29:38,170
Pope Francis has been given his last rites.

2646
01:29:38,170 --> 01:29:39,630
You said on your mind, that's not on

2647
01:29:39,630 --> 01:29:39,850
my mind.

2648
01:29:39,870 --> 01:29:41,070
It was not on my mind until I

2649
01:29:41,070 --> 01:29:41,470
heard the clip.

2650
01:29:41,530 --> 01:29:43,150
Rites, which if you're not Catholic, it's a

2651
01:29:43,150 --> 01:29:44,870
sacrament given to those who are close to

2652
01:29:44,870 --> 01:29:45,130
death.

2653
01:29:45,510 --> 01:29:48,210
The Vatican hasn't said, if that was to

2654
01:29:48,210 --> 01:29:49,730
be announced, it would mean that the Pope's

2655
01:29:49,730 --> 01:29:51,690
condition has become so severe that death was

2656
01:29:51,690 --> 01:29:52,010
imminent.

2657
01:29:52,410 --> 01:29:53,550
And again, we just want to mention to

2658
01:29:53,550 --> 01:29:55,550
both of you that it has not been

2659
01:29:55,550 --> 01:29:57,330
announced, but people are waiting to see if

2660
01:29:57,330 --> 01:29:57,910
in fact they do.

2661
01:29:58,030 --> 01:29:59,390
So that's awful news to hear.

2662
01:29:59,510 --> 01:30:00,130
Let you go for sure.

2663
01:30:00,250 --> 01:30:00,430
All right.

2664
01:30:00,430 --> 01:30:00,930
Thanks, Teresa.

2665
01:30:01,130 --> 01:30:01,630
Thanks, Teresa.

2666
01:30:01,790 --> 01:30:02,730
Awful, awful news.

2667
01:30:02,870 --> 01:30:03,370
Awful news.

2668
01:30:03,830 --> 01:30:06,190
I'm saying Conclave for the win tonight.

2669
01:30:06,530 --> 01:30:07,530
Conclave for the win.

2670
01:30:08,690 --> 01:30:10,170
Looks like a good movie, by the way.

2671
01:30:10,350 --> 01:30:11,590
Looks pretty interesting.

2672
01:30:11,710 --> 01:30:14,670
Isn't it about a gay, a transsexual priest

2673
01:30:14,670 --> 01:30:15,150
or something?

2674
01:30:15,430 --> 01:30:16,010
There's all kinds.

2675
01:30:16,010 --> 01:30:18,810
No, like the priest who becomes Pope has

2676
01:30:18,810 --> 01:30:20,530
ovaries and all kinds of...

2677
01:30:21,170 --> 01:30:21,750
It's perfect.

2678
01:30:22,290 --> 01:30:23,470
Yes, it's perfect.

2679
01:30:23,750 --> 01:30:24,390
It's perfect.

2680
01:30:24,430 --> 01:30:24,730
Oh, man.

2681
01:30:25,070 --> 01:30:26,210
It's perfect.

2682
01:30:27,010 --> 01:30:29,410
I thought Enora, was it Enora, the one

2683
01:30:29,410 --> 01:30:31,410
that seems to be the last minute favorite

2684
01:30:31,410 --> 01:30:33,470
until Conclave all of a sudden took over.

2685
01:30:33,590 --> 01:30:35,210
First, it was some one other movie, then

2686
01:30:35,210 --> 01:30:35,930
it was this Enora.

2687
01:30:36,210 --> 01:30:37,670
This is all bull crap.

2688
01:30:38,190 --> 01:30:39,410
I haven't seen any of them.

2689
01:30:39,670 --> 01:30:40,110
Enora.

2690
01:30:40,310 --> 01:30:40,850
What is Enora?

2691
01:30:40,870 --> 01:30:42,190
That's because none of these movies are any

2692
01:30:42,190 --> 01:30:42,670
good.

2693
01:30:42,990 --> 01:30:44,530
What is the Enora movie about?

2694
01:30:44,810 --> 01:30:45,890
It's about a whore.

2695
01:30:48,470 --> 01:30:50,250
Okay, thanks for the plot line.

2696
01:30:51,070 --> 01:30:52,390
That's basically it.

2697
01:30:53,030 --> 01:30:53,210
Yeah.

2698
01:30:53,430 --> 01:30:57,730
Comics for Blogger wants the Jesse film to

2699
01:30:57,730 --> 01:30:57,930
win.

2700
01:30:58,010 --> 01:31:00,230
Was it the Bondage movie?

2701
01:31:00,350 --> 01:31:01,350
What's the Bondage movie?

2702
01:31:02,030 --> 01:31:02,810
Pam Bondy?

2703
01:31:03,050 --> 01:31:05,050
No, no, the Bondage movie.

2704
01:31:05,730 --> 01:31:06,550
It's a...

2705
01:31:06,550 --> 01:31:06,890
Bondage movie.

2706
01:31:06,990 --> 01:31:07,530
Is that maybe Enora?

2707
01:31:07,530 --> 01:31:08,890
It's called Pain, I think.

2708
01:31:08,970 --> 01:31:09,530
It's called Pain.

2709
01:31:09,950 --> 01:31:10,050
Pain?

2710
01:31:10,170 --> 01:31:11,450
Yeah, I think it's called Pain.

2711
01:31:11,610 --> 01:31:11,930
Let me see.

2712
01:31:12,270 --> 01:31:14,050
There's a Bondage movie that's...

2713
01:31:14,050 --> 01:31:15,090
What is wrong with Hollywood?

2714
01:31:15,090 --> 01:31:16,810
These movies are all perverted.

2715
01:31:17,330 --> 01:31:18,930
A Real Pain is the name of the

2716
01:31:18,930 --> 01:31:19,210
movie.

2717
01:31:19,410 --> 01:31:20,130
It stars...

2718
01:31:20,130 --> 01:31:21,510
Oh, that's a comedy, though.

2719
01:31:22,150 --> 01:31:24,830
It stars Jesse Eisenberg and...

2720
01:31:24,830 --> 01:31:25,250
Yeah, Eisenberg.

2721
01:31:25,810 --> 01:31:26,690
He's the guy who wrote the script.

2722
01:31:26,790 --> 01:31:27,390
It's a comedy.

2723
01:31:27,650 --> 01:31:28,810
It's a light comedy.

2724
01:31:28,990 --> 01:31:31,430
It's not a hardcore Bondage.

2725
01:31:32,970 --> 01:31:34,290
I'm just telling you.

2726
01:31:34,310 --> 01:31:35,030
It's a light comedy.

2727
01:31:36,370 --> 01:31:38,990
Jesse's character is apparently a very talented screenwriter.

2728
01:31:39,010 --> 01:31:39,450
Wait a minute.

2729
01:31:39,890 --> 01:31:41,670
Is this another Brunetti production?

2730
01:31:41,830 --> 01:31:43,830
This sounds like it's got Brunetti written all

2731
01:31:43,830 --> 01:31:44,290
over it.

2732
01:31:44,290 --> 01:31:46,050
No, Brunetti's still out of it.

2733
01:31:47,150 --> 01:31:49,530
He's trying to get Scaramanga to do AI

2734
01:31:49,530 --> 01:31:50,470
movies now.

2735
01:31:50,890 --> 01:31:52,810
Have you been following that on X?

2736
01:31:54,350 --> 01:31:56,670
No, but Scaramanga's supposed to be doing this

2737
01:31:56,670 --> 01:31:57,550
with us.

2738
01:31:58,430 --> 01:31:59,430
Brunetti came in and stole him.

2739
01:31:59,430 --> 01:32:00,470
We're going to have to have Brunetti in

2740
01:32:00,470 --> 01:32:00,970
his EP?

2741
01:32:01,230 --> 01:32:01,610
Oh, yeah.

2742
01:32:01,670 --> 01:32:02,290
He stole him.

2743
01:32:02,370 --> 01:32:03,010
He stole him.

2744
01:32:03,090 --> 01:32:04,630
He stole Scaramanga from us.

2745
01:32:04,690 --> 01:32:06,130
He's like egging him on.

2746
01:32:06,270 --> 01:32:06,650
Like, oh, yeah.

2747
01:32:06,850 --> 01:32:10,510
Wow, this is a real Hollywood backstabbing Hollywood

2748
01:32:10,510 --> 01:32:10,970
move.

2749
01:32:11,110 --> 01:32:12,790
Yes, that's what Hollywood dudes do.

2750
01:32:12,790 --> 01:32:17,210
They sneak into your community, steal your guys,

2751
01:32:17,750 --> 01:32:19,130
and you think we're going to get a

2752
01:32:19,130 --> 01:32:22,570
Scaramanga movie created by no agenda?

2753
01:32:22,750 --> 01:32:24,510
No, no.

2754
01:32:24,630 --> 01:32:27,130
We're not getting no royalties, no residuals, no

2755
01:32:27,130 --> 01:32:27,610
nothing.

2756
01:32:28,970 --> 01:32:32,390
We don't even get a screen credit as

2757
01:32:32,390 --> 01:32:33,150
an associate.

2758
01:32:36,110 --> 01:32:38,130
Which, according to Brunetti, is the lowest of

2759
01:32:38,130 --> 01:32:38,610
the low.

2760
01:32:40,870 --> 01:32:41,890
Oh, man.

2761
01:32:42,850 --> 01:32:43,290
Thanks.

2762
01:32:43,370 --> 01:32:47,310
Dana Brunetti, maker of fine films as House

2763
01:32:47,310 --> 01:32:50,730
of Cards, series House of Cards and Fifty

2764
01:32:50,730 --> 01:32:51,370
Shades of Grey.

2765
01:32:51,710 --> 01:32:53,630
Big time no agenda producer.

2766
01:32:54,070 --> 01:32:56,830
Just came in to get ideas from our

2767
01:32:56,830 --> 01:32:57,190
people.

2768
01:32:58,330 --> 01:32:58,610
Nice.

2769
01:32:58,930 --> 01:33:00,090
Well, he came to the best.

2770
01:33:00,250 --> 01:33:00,870
Well, this is true.

2771
01:33:01,290 --> 01:33:01,790
This is true.

2772
01:33:02,390 --> 01:33:02,950
Fact check false.

2773
01:33:03,130 --> 01:33:03,810
Let's just stop at...

2774
01:33:03,810 --> 01:33:04,010
What?

2775
01:33:04,410 --> 01:33:05,950
Nothing, nothing, nothing.

2776
01:33:06,050 --> 01:33:06,890
What did you just do?

2777
01:33:06,970 --> 01:33:07,710
I just did a...

2778
01:33:07,710 --> 01:33:08,250
Fact check false.

2779
01:33:08,250 --> 01:33:09,230
Fact check false.

2780
01:33:09,990 --> 01:33:11,090
Yeah, I just threw it in there.

2781
01:33:11,090 --> 01:33:13,230
Defending USAID clips.

2782
01:33:13,310 --> 01:33:14,210
This is from NPR.

2783
01:33:14,530 --> 01:33:14,910
Oh, yeah.

2784
01:33:15,030 --> 01:33:17,350
This is still ongoing, of course.

2785
01:33:18,490 --> 01:33:20,530
And this is interesting to me because this

2786
01:33:20,530 --> 01:33:20,750
is...

2787
01:33:21,310 --> 01:33:23,330
The NPR is all in, all this poor

2788
01:33:23,330 --> 01:33:24,390
USAID.

2789
01:33:25,410 --> 01:33:27,790
I want to go for these two clips

2790
01:33:27,790 --> 01:33:28,770
and I want to go to the...

2791
01:33:30,710 --> 01:33:32,790
I'm going to do this regularly and I

2792
01:33:32,790 --> 01:33:35,270
hate to tell you, but it's the best

2793
01:33:35,270 --> 01:33:40,390
I could find is Jesse Waters, who summarizes

2794
01:33:40,390 --> 01:33:42,210
some of the scams going on, and he

2795
01:33:42,210 --> 01:33:44,610
does a good job on almost every show.

2796
01:33:44,630 --> 01:33:45,190
Let me guess.

2797
01:33:45,270 --> 01:33:47,990
Is it trans, trans, LGBTQ trans?

2798
01:33:47,990 --> 01:33:48,970
Yeah, a lot of that.

2799
01:33:49,070 --> 01:33:49,830
Yeah, of course.

2800
01:33:50,130 --> 01:33:53,290
Because nothing gets the Fox viewers riled up

2801
01:33:53,290 --> 01:33:55,930
than two million dollars to some trans dance

2802
01:33:55,930 --> 01:33:56,310
party.

2803
01:33:56,550 --> 01:33:57,010
Yeah, that's right.

2804
01:33:57,310 --> 01:33:59,170
Sorry, it was trans dance party.

2805
01:33:59,290 --> 01:34:00,690
You got it wrong, USAID.

2806
01:34:01,430 --> 01:34:02,350
All right, NPR.

2807
01:34:03,050 --> 01:34:04,390
It's been a difficult week for the United

2808
01:34:04,390 --> 01:34:06,410
States Agency for International Development.

2809
01:34:06,970 --> 01:34:08,870
I love this guy.

2810
01:34:09,450 --> 01:34:10,930
I want him to do jingles for us.

2811
01:34:11,030 --> 01:34:12,590
You're listening to Noah Jenner's show.

2812
01:34:12,970 --> 01:34:13,590
You don't have to.

2813
01:34:13,670 --> 01:34:14,530
You've got the voice.

2814
01:34:15,350 --> 01:34:16,650
It's been a difficult week for the United

2815
01:34:16,650 --> 01:34:18,710
States Agency for International Development.

2816
01:34:18,970 --> 01:34:21,650
The Trump administration killed nearly all of the

2817
01:34:21,650 --> 01:34:23,650
aides of the aid agencies.

2818
01:34:24,050 --> 01:34:24,230
What?

2819
01:34:26,590 --> 01:34:28,930
Wow, what's his mind on?

2820
01:34:29,370 --> 01:34:30,890
They killed all the aides and you can

2821
01:34:30,890 --> 01:34:32,890
hear him go, oh shit, I said aides.

2822
01:34:32,990 --> 01:34:33,550
I mean aide.

2823
01:34:33,550 --> 01:34:36,710
The Trump administration killed nearly all of the

2824
01:34:36,710 --> 01:34:40,270
aides of the aid agencies programs, put thousands

2825
01:34:40,270 --> 01:34:43,130
of its employees on administrative leave or laid

2826
01:34:43,130 --> 01:34:43,650
them off.

2827
01:34:44,550 --> 01:34:46,810
Meanwhile, a legal battle between the government and

2828
01:34:46,810 --> 01:34:48,970
global health groups is going on about the

2829
01:34:48,970 --> 01:34:50,210
funds that are still frozen.

2830
01:34:50,970 --> 01:34:53,230
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court said it would

2831
01:34:53,230 --> 01:34:54,970
weigh in, though it hasn't issued a ruling

2832
01:34:54,970 --> 01:34:55,450
yet.

2833
01:34:56,070 --> 01:34:58,950
NPR global health correspondent Fatma Tanis joins us.

2834
01:34:59,170 --> 01:34:59,490
Hey, Fatma.

2835
01:34:59,550 --> 01:35:00,790
Thanks so much for being with us.

2836
01:35:01,170 --> 01:35:02,110
Thanks for having me, Scott.

2837
01:35:02,110 --> 01:35:04,070
The case has reached the Supreme Court.

2838
01:35:04,410 --> 01:35:06,090
Help us understand it, please.

2839
01:35:06,330 --> 01:35:09,230
So in January, when Trump officials at USAID

2840
01:35:09,230 --> 01:35:12,470
froze foreign aid funds, they also didn't pay

2841
01:35:12,470 --> 01:35:16,150
organizations for work that was done before in

2842
01:35:16,150 --> 01:35:17,030
December and January.

2843
01:35:17,750 --> 01:35:20,110
And these global health groups now say that

2844
01:35:20,110 --> 01:35:21,690
they've had to lay off staff and are

2845
01:35:21,690 --> 01:35:22,910
facing insolvency.

2846
01:35:23,230 --> 01:35:25,410
So they sued the government to make payments.

2847
01:35:25,870 --> 01:35:28,290
A federal judge then ordered the government and

2848
01:35:28,290 --> 01:35:31,030
set a deadline for last Wednesday to make

2849
01:35:31,030 --> 01:35:31,610
those payments.

2850
01:35:31,790 --> 01:35:34,570
But on Wednesday night, the Trump administration appealed

2851
01:35:34,570 --> 01:35:35,810
to the Supreme Court.

2852
01:35:36,190 --> 01:35:38,690
And Chief Justice John Roberts paused the case,

2853
01:35:38,830 --> 01:35:40,410
giving the government a reprieve.

2854
01:35:40,870 --> 01:35:43,790
Then on Friday, global health organizations urged the

2855
01:35:43,790 --> 01:35:45,710
Supreme Court to order the government to make

2856
01:35:45,710 --> 01:35:46,250
those payments.

2857
01:35:46,390 --> 01:35:49,590
It's about $2 billion that the government owes

2858
01:35:49,590 --> 01:35:50,490
these organizations.

2859
01:35:50,490 --> 01:35:52,250
And we're still waiting to see what the

2860
01:35:52,250 --> 01:35:53,030
court will do next.

2861
01:35:53,310 --> 01:35:56,150
And what about the terminations to the agency's

2862
01:35:56,150 --> 01:35:56,470
grants?

2863
01:35:56,530 --> 01:35:57,970
What kind of programs have been cut?

2864
01:35:57,970 --> 01:36:00,710
So the administration sent out termination letters to

2865
01:36:00,710 --> 01:36:04,010
organizations saying that it had determined that those

2866
01:36:04,010 --> 01:36:07,470
grants were not aligned with agency priorities and

2867
01:36:07,470 --> 01:36:09,370
that continuing those programs is not in the

2868
01:36:09,370 --> 01:36:10,350
national interest.

2869
01:36:10,850 --> 01:36:13,170
The administration has decided that more than 90

2870
01:36:13,170 --> 01:36:16,490
% of USAID's grants are to be terminated.

2871
01:36:16,630 --> 01:36:19,230
And some of those grants funded programs that

2872
01:36:19,230 --> 01:36:22,230
work to deliver the Trump administration's own policy

2873
01:36:22,230 --> 01:36:25,430
goals, like curbing migration, drug trafficking.

2874
01:36:26,070 --> 01:36:29,330
Others provided shelters for rape survivors or education

2875
01:36:29,330 --> 01:36:30,590
for children around the world.

2876
01:36:31,470 --> 01:36:32,650
Okay, it's horrible.

2877
01:36:32,830 --> 01:36:33,350
It goes on.

2878
01:36:33,430 --> 01:36:34,750
They go on and on and on.

2879
01:36:34,910 --> 01:36:36,470
And so I got to the end of

2880
01:36:36,470 --> 01:36:38,830
it because this last little bit here really

2881
01:36:38,830 --> 01:36:40,210
kind of irked me.

2882
01:36:41,890 --> 01:36:45,430
But wait, then Jesse Watters follows that.

2883
01:36:45,630 --> 01:36:45,850
Here we go.

2884
01:36:46,130 --> 01:36:48,830
Where does this leave the global assistance industry?

2885
01:36:49,190 --> 01:36:51,650
Well, it's quite the earthquake for the global

2886
01:36:51,650 --> 01:36:52,090
aid industry.

2887
01:36:52,090 --> 01:36:53,390
It's all interconnected.

2888
01:36:53,390 --> 01:36:55,770
So this move by the administration has far

2889
01:36:55,770 --> 01:36:56,730
reaching implications.

2890
01:36:57,010 --> 01:36:59,170
Millions of people around the world will feel

2891
01:36:59,170 --> 01:36:59,830
the impact.

2892
01:37:00,130 --> 01:37:02,530
One example, the UN said that 9 million

2893
01:37:02,530 --> 01:37:06,130
people in Afghanistan would no longer have health

2894
01:37:06,130 --> 01:37:07,910
services without US funding.

2895
01:37:08,410 --> 01:37:11,130
And organizations just say that there's no replacement

2896
01:37:11,130 --> 01:37:13,030
really for the role that the US had

2897
01:37:13,030 --> 01:37:14,430
in the global aid sector.

2898
01:37:15,270 --> 01:37:16,470
Okay, wait a minute.

2899
01:37:17,350 --> 01:37:22,770
9 million Afghanis are getting health care from

2900
01:37:22,770 --> 01:37:23,330
us?

2901
01:37:23,750 --> 01:37:24,030
Yes.

2902
01:37:24,330 --> 01:37:28,110
We have homeless encampments around the San Francisco's

2903
01:37:28,110 --> 01:37:28,630
filled with them.

2904
01:37:28,710 --> 01:37:31,190
There's tent cities on the main streets and

2905
01:37:31,190 --> 01:37:31,850
all the rest of it.

2906
01:37:31,990 --> 01:37:35,270
But we're paying for the health care of

2907
01:37:35,270 --> 01:37:38,510
9 million Afghani citizens.

2908
01:37:38,590 --> 01:37:39,410
Are you kidding me?

2909
01:37:39,550 --> 01:37:42,290
We have an epidemic of empathy in our

2910
01:37:42,290 --> 01:37:42,730
country.

2911
01:37:44,030 --> 01:37:45,510
An empathy epidemic.

2912
01:37:46,310 --> 01:37:49,350
And people get so focused on these things,

2913
01:37:49,390 --> 01:37:53,590
on the unhoused, on the poor Afghans, brown

2914
01:37:53,590 --> 01:37:55,090
people in sandy areas.

2915
01:37:55,370 --> 01:37:58,930
And they just forget about their own neighborhood,

2916
01:37:59,210 --> 01:38:01,090
their own neighbors, their own family.

2917
01:38:01,710 --> 01:38:03,450
It's really quite astonishing.

2918
01:38:03,970 --> 01:38:08,630
And it is an effect of media driven

2919
01:38:08,630 --> 01:38:10,190
MKUltra programming.

2920
01:38:11,230 --> 01:38:13,330
And it's unbelievable.

2921
01:38:13,490 --> 01:38:15,050
And NPR plays it to the hilt.

2922
01:38:15,690 --> 01:38:16,770
They're all in on this.

2923
01:38:16,890 --> 01:38:18,730
Now, of course, the funny thing is that

2924
01:38:18,730 --> 01:38:21,370
those 9 million Afghanis that are supposedly getting

2925
01:38:21,370 --> 01:38:24,410
health care from us, it's really not going

2926
01:38:24,410 --> 01:38:24,990
to them anyway.

2927
01:38:25,110 --> 01:38:28,630
It's going to the Taliban for their just

2928
01:38:28,630 --> 01:38:29,650
general funds.

2929
01:38:29,850 --> 01:38:32,430
That's because that came out in this report,

2930
01:38:32,550 --> 01:38:36,210
which is Waters discussing some of these scams

2931
01:38:36,210 --> 01:38:36,770
going on.

2932
01:38:36,830 --> 01:38:38,390
And then he kicks it to a congressional

2933
01:38:38,390 --> 01:38:40,990
hearing where they discuss this.

2934
01:38:40,990 --> 01:38:45,230
Doge found a $75 million contract for inclusive

2935
01:38:45,230 --> 01:38:46,990
justice in Colombia.

2936
01:38:47,590 --> 01:38:51,850
$40 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian

2937
01:38:51,850 --> 01:38:52,370
empowerment.

2938
01:38:52,990 --> 01:38:56,290
Another $40 million for female empowerment in Colombia.

2939
01:38:57,150 --> 01:38:58,730
Pretty sure this money's for cocaine.

2940
01:38:59,070 --> 01:39:00,230
But don't worry.

2941
01:39:00,410 --> 01:39:02,430
We're also going to give the Caribbean $3

2942
01:39:02,430 --> 01:39:04,530
million for being gay and lesbian.

2943
01:39:05,110 --> 01:39:06,970
You're gay and we want you to stay

2944
01:39:06,970 --> 01:39:07,470
that way.

2945
01:39:08,050 --> 01:39:10,090
And we still had money left over for

2946
01:39:10,090 --> 01:39:10,550
terrorists.

2947
01:39:10,990 --> 01:39:13,170
Mr. Roman, are you aware that we are

2948
01:39:13,170 --> 01:39:16,870
sending $40 million a week to the Taliban?

2949
01:39:17,590 --> 01:39:17,990
Yes, sir.

2950
01:39:18,230 --> 01:39:20,230
Can you name other instances of foreign aid

2951
01:39:20,230 --> 01:39:21,730
going to terrorist organizations?

2952
01:39:22,510 --> 01:39:25,250
We have assisted Al-Shabaab in Somalia.

2953
01:39:25,550 --> 01:39:28,010
There has been instances of the Hamzeh Network

2954
01:39:28,010 --> 01:39:31,790
in Sudan, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Kataiba, Hezbollah,

2955
01:39:32,130 --> 01:39:33,770
Hayat al-Shams in Syria.

2956
01:39:34,610 --> 01:39:37,810
Dozens of terror organizations have received indirect assistance

2957
01:39:37,810 --> 01:39:39,950
from U.S. foreign aid.

2958
01:39:39,950 --> 01:39:40,930
Wow.

2959
01:39:41,190 --> 01:39:42,370
Bringing back a name.

2960
01:39:42,470 --> 01:39:43,730
A blast from the past.

2961
01:39:45,610 --> 01:39:49,810
Yeah, baby.

2962
01:39:50,130 --> 01:39:50,930
Al-Shabaab.

2963
01:39:51,290 --> 01:39:52,970
Hadn't heard from those guys in a while.

2964
01:39:53,410 --> 01:39:54,950
They get their money and shut up.

2965
01:39:55,150 --> 01:39:57,790
That's like 2015 time, Al-Shabaab.

2966
01:40:00,170 --> 01:40:04,530
Well, DOJ made some local news here.

2967
01:40:04,690 --> 01:40:06,570
San Antone is right down the road.

2968
01:40:07,050 --> 01:40:09,110
This was shocking to say the least.

2969
01:40:09,110 --> 01:40:12,230
The organization is also known as Endeavors.

2970
01:40:12,390 --> 01:40:14,750
And you may have seen its administrative headquarters

2971
01:40:14,750 --> 01:40:18,290
and wellness center on Dezabala Road, where it

2972
01:40:18,290 --> 01:40:21,130
has a cluster of buildings and storefronts.

2973
01:40:21,530 --> 01:40:24,910
DOJ focused on an overflow housing facility for

2974
01:40:24,910 --> 01:40:29,150
migrant families Endeavors operates in Pecos, Texas, which

2975
01:40:29,150 --> 01:40:32,470
DOJ says has been sitting empty while Endeavors

2976
01:40:32,470 --> 01:40:35,750
has been receiving the $18 million per month.

2977
01:40:35,750 --> 01:40:40,450
Homeland Security reposted DOJ's ex-post tagging U

2978
01:40:40,450 --> 01:40:43,110
.S. Attorney Ed Martin with the words, please

2979
01:40:43,110 --> 01:40:47,450
investigate, to which Martin responded, duly noted, we

2980
01:40:47,450 --> 01:40:47,950
are on it.

2981
01:40:48,470 --> 01:40:51,610
I went to Endeavors San Antonio headquarters today

2982
01:40:51,610 --> 01:40:53,690
to get a comment from the organization.

2983
01:40:54,190 --> 01:40:56,690
They responded late this afternoon by email.

2984
01:40:57,150 --> 01:41:01,070
Endeavors was responsible for maintaining operational readiness at

2985
01:41:01,070 --> 01:41:04,230
the Pecos shelter, ensuring the ability to scale

2986
01:41:04,230 --> 01:41:07,810
from cold status, operationally ready, but not actively

2987
01:41:07,810 --> 01:41:11,150
serving children to full use of 3000 beds

2988
01:41:11,150 --> 01:41:11,810
as needed.

2989
01:41:12,010 --> 01:41:16,430
Decisions regarding facility use and migrant sheltering locations

2990
01:41:16,430 --> 01:41:19,410
were made by the federal government, not Endeavors.

2991
01:41:19,890 --> 01:41:23,370
Any claims of corruption or mismanagement are baseless.

2992
01:41:24,050 --> 01:41:27,970
DOJ also claims Endeavors received its HHS contract

2993
01:41:27,970 --> 01:41:32,210
in 2021 after a former ICE employee and

2994
01:41:32,210 --> 01:41:35,550
Biden transition team member joined the nonprofit.

2995
01:41:37,710 --> 01:41:40,590
So, wait, $18 million a month?

2996
01:41:40,770 --> 01:41:42,450
Yeah, it was about a quarter billion dollar

2997
01:41:42,450 --> 01:41:43,030
contract.

2998
01:41:43,750 --> 01:41:47,190
$18 million a month for 3000 beds?

2999
01:41:48,270 --> 01:41:48,870
Empty.

3000
01:41:48,930 --> 01:41:51,330
Yeah, well, even if they're filled, let's see,

3001
01:41:51,390 --> 01:41:51,850
what is that?

3002
01:41:51,970 --> 01:41:53,910
$18 million, let me do a quick calculation.

3003
01:41:54,230 --> 01:41:57,030
Yeah, do $18 million divided by 3000.

3004
01:41:57,090 --> 01:41:58,450
Divided by 3000.

3005
01:41:59,230 --> 01:42:03,990
I'd say about $5,000 a bed, am

3006
01:42:03,990 --> 01:42:05,370
I correct on that?

3007
01:42:05,570 --> 01:42:07,430
I think it's $6,000 a day.

3008
01:42:07,710 --> 01:42:10,350
$6,000, no, a bed, a bed, $6

3009
01:42:10,350 --> 01:42:10,950
,000 a day.

3010
01:42:11,890 --> 01:42:14,950
$6,000 a bed, which means a month.

3011
01:42:15,190 --> 01:42:17,870
This is $18,000 a month, so it's

3012
01:42:17,870 --> 01:42:20,230
$6,000 a month per person.

3013
01:42:20,410 --> 01:42:21,190
Per bed, yes.

3014
01:42:21,650 --> 01:42:24,010
Yeah, or per bed, okay, which is what,

3015
01:42:24,190 --> 01:42:25,650
$72,000 a year?

3016
01:42:25,770 --> 01:42:26,030
Yes.

3017
01:42:26,030 --> 01:42:28,790
$72,000 a year?

3018
01:42:29,150 --> 01:42:29,770
Hey, come on, man.

3019
01:42:30,090 --> 01:42:30,850
For one bed?

3020
01:42:31,110 --> 01:42:32,950
John, if you and I had a hotel,

3021
01:42:33,210 --> 01:42:34,550
we would be swimming in dough.

3022
01:42:35,270 --> 01:42:35,770
We would.

3023
01:42:35,870 --> 01:42:38,150
We'd be ramming so many illegals in there,

3024
01:42:38,210 --> 01:42:38,810
you wouldn't know.

3025
01:42:39,270 --> 01:42:41,510
It'd be so great with our friends in

3026
01:42:41,510 --> 01:42:41,970
Washington.

3027
01:42:42,890 --> 01:42:44,910
Well, NPR is very upset about, you know,

3028
01:42:44,990 --> 01:42:49,150
the good money for the Afghanis, even though

3029
01:42:49,150 --> 01:42:51,270
it's going to Taliban, but they're okay with

3030
01:42:51,270 --> 01:42:51,450
that.

3031
01:42:51,870 --> 01:42:53,950
They're also very upset with the D.C.

3032
01:42:54,010 --> 01:42:55,010
attorney situation.

3033
01:42:55,010 --> 01:42:56,830
Before you move on, I want to do

3034
01:42:56,830 --> 01:42:57,150
that.

3035
01:42:57,230 --> 01:42:59,310
I have two more Doge clips, two more

3036
01:42:59,310 --> 01:42:59,770
Doge clips.

3037
01:43:00,290 --> 01:43:02,930
The first one includes Samantha Powers, who was

3038
01:43:02,930 --> 01:43:05,930
at a demonstration because, you know.

3039
01:43:05,950 --> 01:43:06,930
She had a picket sign.

3040
01:43:07,610 --> 01:43:10,710
Tonight, uncertainty remains over the mass federal job

3041
01:43:10,710 --> 01:43:12,170
cuts across several departments.

3042
01:43:12,430 --> 01:43:14,950
The federal judge in California ruled the recent

3043
01:43:14,950 --> 01:43:18,010
firings likely unlawful, and he said the Office

3044
01:43:18,010 --> 01:43:20,730
of Personnel Management had exceeded its authority.

3045
01:43:20,730 --> 01:43:23,250
The ruling does not mean those fired employees

3046
01:43:23,250 --> 01:43:26,230
will be automatically rehired or that future firings

3047
01:43:26,230 --> 01:43:26,930
will stop.

3048
01:43:27,190 --> 01:43:30,350
Former workers at USAID spoke out against the

3049
01:43:30,350 --> 01:43:31,650
cuts at a rally yesterday.

3050
01:43:32,110 --> 01:43:39,130
What is being done is one of the

3051
01:43:39,130 --> 01:43:42,170
biggest blunders in American foreign policy history.

3052
01:43:42,730 --> 01:43:45,550
It is one that generations of Americans will

3053
01:43:45,550 --> 01:43:47,090
look back on with horror.

3054
01:43:47,090 --> 01:43:50,790
Firings are now impacting the National Oceanic and

3055
01:43:50,790 --> 01:43:53,690
Atmospheric Administration, being impacted by the firings as

3056
01:43:53,690 --> 01:43:55,470
well with NOAA.

3057
01:43:55,930 --> 01:43:58,690
800 workers on probationary status have been laid

3058
01:43:58,690 --> 01:43:58,950
off.

3059
01:43:59,430 --> 01:44:00,810
Those who were not let go say the

3060
01:44:00,810 --> 01:44:04,330
fired employees include meteorologists who make crucial forecasts

3061
01:44:04,330 --> 01:44:05,590
at the National Weather Service.

3062
01:44:06,030 --> 01:44:08,850
Those NWS models are used by local meteorologists

3063
01:44:08,850 --> 01:44:09,770
across the country.

3064
01:44:10,190 --> 01:44:12,430
Chris Bianchi at our sister station 9 News

3065
01:44:12,430 --> 01:44:15,050
in Denver says that data is directly responsible

3066
01:44:15,050 --> 01:44:16,290
for keeping people safe.

3067
01:44:16,290 --> 01:44:18,290
That tornado warning is not issued by me.

3068
01:44:18,390 --> 01:44:19,570
It is not issued by the 9 News

3069
01:44:19,570 --> 01:44:20,210
weather department.

3070
01:44:20,350 --> 01:44:22,970
It is not issued by the TV enterprise.

3071
01:44:23,170 --> 01:44:24,110
It's not issued by anybody.

3072
01:44:24,270 --> 01:44:25,190
It's issued by the weather service.

3073
01:44:25,330 --> 01:44:26,870
So who would issue a tornado warning?

3074
01:44:27,230 --> 01:44:29,270
The unions fighting the federal layoffs called the

3075
01:44:29,270 --> 01:44:32,130
California judge's ruling a first step and vowed

3076
01:44:32,130 --> 01:44:33,190
to keep up the fight.

3077
01:44:33,370 --> 01:44:36,950
You know, these are just feeds of data

3078
01:44:36,950 --> 01:44:40,750
which any local meteorologist could translate and should

3079
01:44:40,750 --> 01:44:43,290
be able to understand what's coming.

3080
01:44:43,590 --> 01:44:45,370
I mean, as a pilot, I have that.

3081
01:44:45,370 --> 01:44:47,110
I have information like that.

3082
01:44:47,490 --> 01:44:50,990
Not only that, but yeah, okay, there's one

3083
01:44:50,990 --> 01:44:52,410
model that they create.

3084
01:44:52,830 --> 01:44:56,590
And these models, but when there's a big

3085
01:44:56,590 --> 01:44:59,770
storm coming, if you even watch the regular

3086
01:44:59,770 --> 01:45:02,130
weather channels or any of them, they show

3087
01:45:02,130 --> 01:45:03,410
you all the different models.

3088
01:45:03,530 --> 01:45:04,690
There's like 30 of them.

3089
01:45:04,950 --> 01:45:05,870
There's 40.

3090
01:45:06,010 --> 01:45:07,350
Oh, here's the European model.

3091
01:45:07,470 --> 01:45:08,570
Here's the Russian model.

3092
01:45:08,690 --> 01:45:10,550
Here's the model from NOAA.

3093
01:45:10,810 --> 01:45:11,390
Here's the model.

3094
01:45:11,550 --> 01:45:13,310
And they show all these different tracks.

3095
01:45:13,310 --> 01:45:15,430
In fact, when Trump was president, he did

3096
01:45:15,430 --> 01:45:18,430
his own model once, if you remember, because

3097
01:45:18,430 --> 01:45:21,050
he drew a map where the hurricane was

3098
01:45:21,050 --> 01:45:23,210
going to hit and they ridiculed him for

3099
01:45:23,210 --> 01:45:23,370
it.

3100
01:45:23,930 --> 01:45:27,190
And this is just overkill.

3101
01:45:28,470 --> 01:45:31,110
There's a question I have because this is

3102
01:45:31,110 --> 01:45:34,350
a little unclear and I'm trying to kind

3103
01:45:34,350 --> 01:45:35,290
of get to the bottom of it.

3104
01:45:35,310 --> 01:45:38,590
This is about Medicaid and this is going

3105
01:45:38,590 --> 01:45:40,870
around that people are very upset about this.

3106
01:45:40,870 --> 01:45:42,730
As far as I know, no decisions have

3107
01:45:42,730 --> 01:45:45,430
been made, but maybe you can enlighten us

3108
01:45:45,430 --> 01:45:45,990
on this one.

3109
01:45:46,190 --> 01:45:47,750
As an urgent care nurse practitioner, when I

3110
01:45:47,750 --> 01:45:49,830
see a patient, really my focus is on

3111
01:45:49,830 --> 01:45:50,830
what do I need to do for this

3112
01:45:50,830 --> 01:45:51,850
patient to help them?

3113
01:45:52,310 --> 01:45:55,270
Justin Gill is the State Nurses Association president

3114
01:45:55,270 --> 01:45:57,590
and worries about his patients who may delay

3115
01:45:57,590 --> 01:45:59,590
a medical visit because of cost.

3116
01:46:00,050 --> 01:46:02,250
This as the House and Senate Republicans are

3117
01:46:02,250 --> 01:46:05,090
working to pass at least $880 billion worth

3118
01:46:05,090 --> 01:46:06,290
of cuts to Medicaid.

3119
01:46:07,110 --> 01:46:09,130
Medicaid is a lifeline.

3120
01:46:09,130 --> 01:46:11,970
During a virtual press conference, US Senator Patty

3121
01:46:11,970 --> 01:46:16,210
Murray explained 782,000 Washingtonians would be at

3122
01:46:16,210 --> 01:46:19,070
risk of losing coverage if Republicans institute so

3123
01:46:19,070 --> 01:46:21,750
-called work requirements to qualify for coverage.

3124
01:46:22,090 --> 01:46:23,770
What would be the impact to your patients

3125
01:46:23,770 --> 01:46:24,870
access to care?

3126
01:46:25,210 --> 01:46:26,630
It's only going to make matters worse when

3127
01:46:26,630 --> 01:46:29,510
it comes to delaying care, leading to conditions

3128
01:46:29,510 --> 01:46:31,010
that are going to be much more costly.

3129
01:46:31,470 --> 01:46:34,090
ICU nurse Julia Barcott believes the cuts would

3130
01:46:34,090 --> 01:46:36,470
be devastating to the most vulnerable people.

3131
01:46:36,910 --> 01:46:39,790
She says 69% of the patient population

3132
01:46:39,790 --> 01:46:43,050
at Astragatopanish near Yakima is on Medicaid.

3133
01:46:43,230 --> 01:46:45,610
You would be surprised that it's your neighbors,

3134
01:46:46,030 --> 01:46:51,090
family members, relatives, friends that all have Medicaid

3135
01:46:51,090 --> 01:46:55,550
to help with expenses and to have a

3136
01:46:55,550 --> 01:46:57,330
more cost effective insurance.

3137
01:46:57,710 --> 01:47:00,190
State Senate Minority Leader John Braun says it's

3138
01:47:00,190 --> 01:47:01,910
too soon to know what the impact on

3139
01:47:01,910 --> 01:47:02,910
Medicaid will be.

3140
01:47:03,110 --> 01:47:05,770
As there are multiple proposals and after President

3141
01:47:05,770 --> 01:47:08,410
Trump has publicly said Medicaid will not be

3142
01:47:08,410 --> 01:47:08,830
touched.

3143
01:47:09,070 --> 01:47:11,070
A lot of our programs wrapped up in

3144
01:47:11,070 --> 01:47:11,990
Medicaid waivers.

3145
01:47:12,590 --> 01:47:14,110
I think all these are going to be

3146
01:47:14,110 --> 01:47:16,790
looked at pretty closely at the federal level

3147
01:47:16,790 --> 01:47:20,490
and we should be prepared for changes.

3148
01:47:20,890 --> 01:47:22,650
Gill adds the matter of caring for those

3149
01:47:22,650 --> 01:47:25,070
who need it goes beyond party lines.

3150
01:47:25,510 --> 01:47:28,050
Now from what I understand, part of this

3151
01:47:28,050 --> 01:47:29,410
is all fear mongering, of course.

3152
01:47:29,410 --> 01:47:32,450
By the way, what did they not understand

3153
01:47:32,450 --> 01:47:35,370
about Trump saying Medicare will not be cut?

3154
01:47:35,450 --> 01:47:36,450
They throw it in there.

3155
01:47:36,910 --> 01:47:38,250
They quote him correctly.

3156
01:47:38,410 --> 01:47:39,850
Medicare will not be cut.

3157
01:47:40,050 --> 01:47:41,610
Medicaid, Medicaid, Medicaid.

3158
01:47:42,070 --> 01:47:42,910
I'm sorry, Medicaid.

3159
01:47:43,290 --> 01:47:44,550
Medicaid will not be cut.

3160
01:47:45,090 --> 01:47:46,050
What part of that?

3161
01:47:46,110 --> 01:47:46,570
What is that?

3162
01:47:46,750 --> 01:47:48,210
What can't you understand about that?

3163
01:47:48,270 --> 01:47:49,610
Why are they doing this report?

3164
01:47:49,670 --> 01:47:50,670
They're doing the same thing.

3165
01:47:50,730 --> 01:47:52,290
I have two clips about this, by the

3166
01:47:52,290 --> 01:47:52,450
way.

3167
01:47:52,710 --> 01:47:54,670
The same thing with Social Security.

3168
01:47:55,450 --> 01:47:56,330
Bull crap.

3169
01:47:56,330 --> 01:47:59,030
The Republicans themselves have said, hey, we're going

3170
01:47:59,030 --> 01:48:00,310
to look for fraud.

3171
01:48:00,410 --> 01:48:01,490
That's what we're going to do.

3172
01:48:01,950 --> 01:48:05,810
From what I understand, this Medicaid fear mongering

3173
01:48:05,810 --> 01:48:10,410
is tied to the Social Security clamp down

3174
01:48:10,410 --> 01:48:15,010
and from videos I've been watching online, it's

3175
01:48:15,010 --> 01:48:20,010
mainly able-bodied young women who are being

3176
01:48:20,010 --> 01:48:23,370
required to work 20 hours a month in

3177
01:48:23,370 --> 01:48:26,650
some form of service in order to maintain

3178
01:48:26,650 --> 01:48:29,890
Social Security benefits, which include Medicaid.

3179
01:48:30,770 --> 01:48:32,090
That's what I've understood.

3180
01:48:32,690 --> 01:48:35,890
And that's probably actually true.

3181
01:48:36,730 --> 01:48:40,510
Well, letters have gone out, but that may

3182
01:48:40,510 --> 01:48:41,490
be a Biden thing.

3183
01:48:41,550 --> 01:48:43,770
That may not even be something from this

3184
01:48:43,770 --> 01:48:47,970
administration, well, not administration, even from this Congress.

3185
01:48:48,550 --> 01:48:50,590
So let's do your DC clips.

3186
01:48:50,750 --> 01:48:51,030
Let me see.

3187
01:48:51,670 --> 01:48:53,370
Before we go to this, since you're on

3188
01:48:53,370 --> 01:48:55,850
this topic, the Social Security clips are better.

3189
01:48:55,910 --> 01:48:57,830
These are called docial security.

3190
01:48:58,030 --> 01:48:58,850
Docial security.

3191
01:48:59,010 --> 01:49:00,410
Is this a misspelling or are you just

3192
01:49:00,410 --> 01:49:01,410
super smart on me?

3193
01:49:01,530 --> 01:49:02,050
This is good.

3194
01:49:04,330 --> 01:49:06,230
These two clips, and there's two of them,

3195
01:49:07,410 --> 01:49:09,890
they are trying to make it seem as

3196
01:49:09,890 --> 01:49:11,410
though they want to cut Social Security because

3197
01:49:11,410 --> 01:49:13,570
that's part of the scheme of make Trump

3198
01:49:13,570 --> 01:49:15,990
look bad, when in fact, they're cutting employees.

3199
01:49:15,990 --> 01:49:18,630
And the guy who does the report, one

3200
01:49:18,630 --> 01:49:20,730
of these NPR guys who comes in, he

3201
01:49:20,730 --> 01:49:22,450
knows this is a lie.

3202
01:49:23,110 --> 01:49:23,990
And so he fumbles.

3203
01:49:24,250 --> 01:49:26,110
And in both reports, these are two separate

3204
01:49:26,110 --> 01:49:29,190
reports, he fumbles differently, but he fumbles both

3205
01:49:29,190 --> 01:49:31,810
times knowing that this is...it's like guilt is

3206
01:49:31,810 --> 01:49:33,690
in him when he does this.

3207
01:49:34,010 --> 01:49:35,410
Which one do we go with first?

3208
01:49:35,550 --> 01:49:35,810
The anal?

3209
01:49:35,890 --> 01:49:40,110
We'll start with...the first one is not the

3210
01:49:40,110 --> 01:49:40,470
analysis.

3211
01:49:40,650 --> 01:49:42,730
The first one is the short clip, just

3212
01:49:42,730 --> 01:49:43,630
the twist one.

3213
01:49:43,630 --> 01:49:47,230
Another email is being sent to federal employees,

3214
01:49:47,790 --> 01:49:49,350
telling them to provide a list of their

3215
01:49:49,350 --> 01:49:52,290
accomplishments this week by Monday night and to

3216
01:49:52,290 --> 01:49:54,610
expect a similar email every week.

3217
01:49:55,190 --> 01:49:57,950
It's part of billionaire Elon Musk's efforts to

3218
01:49:57,950 --> 01:49:59,250
trim the federal workforce.

3219
01:49:59,990 --> 01:50:03,810
The Social Security Administration announced yesterday it's eliminating

3220
01:50:03,810 --> 01:50:05,230
thousands of positions.

3221
01:50:06,050 --> 01:50:07,710
NPR's Ron Elving has more.

3222
01:50:07,890 --> 01:50:09,710
At this point, the cuts are to Social

3223
01:50:09,710 --> 01:50:10,730
Security staff.

3224
01:50:10,730 --> 01:50:13,690
The administration announced Friday it plans to cut

3225
01:50:13,690 --> 01:50:16,350
7,000 jobs in response to an executive

3226
01:50:16,350 --> 01:50:19,030
order from President Trump, who has said he

3227
01:50:19,030 --> 01:50:21,790
wants to slash the federal workforce, even in

3228
01:50:21,790 --> 01:50:25,330
what have been considered politically sensitive functions, such

3229
01:50:25,330 --> 01:50:26,190
as Social Security.

3230
01:50:26,550 --> 01:50:29,410
Social Security advocates say that the agency...

3231
01:50:29,410 --> 01:50:29,890
What did he say?

3232
01:50:29,970 --> 01:50:30,650
Social Security?

3233
01:50:30,870 --> 01:50:31,550
Because the code...

3234
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:33,750
He blows it at the end.

3235
01:50:33,890 --> 01:50:34,570
It's because...

3236
01:50:34,570 --> 01:50:35,630
I want to hear it again.

3237
01:50:35,830 --> 01:50:37,850
Politically sensitive Social Security.

3238
01:50:37,850 --> 01:50:41,970
So what's politically sensitive about cutting staff?

3239
01:50:42,230 --> 01:50:42,550
Nothing.

3240
01:50:42,970 --> 01:50:45,850
But cutting Social Security is politically sensitive, and

3241
01:50:45,850 --> 01:50:47,830
he knows they're trying to conflate the two

3242
01:50:47,830 --> 01:50:50,350
to try to trick the dumb listeners of

3243
01:50:50,350 --> 01:50:52,070
NPR and the people that give them money.

3244
01:50:52,210 --> 01:50:52,830
Let me hear it again.

3245
01:50:53,170 --> 01:50:55,910
He wants to slash the federal workforce, even

3246
01:50:55,910 --> 01:50:59,130
in what have been considered politically sensitive functions,

3247
01:50:59,350 --> 01:51:00,490
such as Social Security.

3248
01:51:00,850 --> 01:51:03,930
Social Security advocates say that the agency is

3249
01:51:03,930 --> 01:51:05,990
at its lowest level in staffing in 50

3250
01:51:05,990 --> 01:51:08,610
years, despite the growing number of recipients.

3251
01:51:09,450 --> 01:51:11,090
Social charcuterie, I think he said.

3252
01:51:11,430 --> 01:51:12,550
Social charcuterie.

3253
01:51:13,270 --> 01:51:16,390
So this report was kind of twisted.

3254
01:51:16,590 --> 01:51:18,130
So they didn't do it quite right.

3255
01:51:18,310 --> 01:51:22,230
So later, not in the same show, but

3256
01:51:22,230 --> 01:51:23,270
later came this report.

3257
01:51:23,410 --> 01:51:24,250
It was a little longer.

3258
01:51:24,370 --> 01:51:25,590
The same guy comes in.

3259
01:51:26,110 --> 01:51:27,810
Again, they try to twist it to make

3260
01:51:27,810 --> 01:51:29,490
it sound like they're cutting Social Security to

3261
01:51:29,490 --> 01:51:31,590
make Trump look bad, because he promised never

3262
01:51:31,590 --> 01:51:32,150
to do that.

3263
01:51:32,230 --> 01:51:34,590
Of course, the Democrats like to say, well,

3264
01:51:34,610 --> 01:51:35,370
are they going to cut it?

3265
01:51:35,370 --> 01:51:38,410
And so he has the same guilty response

3266
01:51:38,410 --> 01:51:41,090
reaction, only slightly different, but it's the same

3267
01:51:41,090 --> 01:51:41,510
guy.

3268
01:51:41,990 --> 01:51:43,990
Another email blast went out late last night

3269
01:51:43,990 --> 01:51:46,190
to federal employees, asking them to list what

3270
01:51:46,190 --> 01:51:48,350
they accomplished in the past week.

3271
01:51:48,530 --> 01:51:51,210
Is this different from the email that Elon

3272
01:51:51,210 --> 01:51:53,790
Musk's Doge Group sent out over a week

3273
01:51:53,790 --> 01:51:54,110
ago?

3274
01:51:54,610 --> 01:51:57,410
Lots of confusion about this last night, Scott,

3275
01:51:57,490 --> 01:51:58,270
and again this morning.

3276
01:51:58,690 --> 01:52:01,070
The email came late Friday from the Office

3277
01:52:01,070 --> 01:52:05,510
of Personnel Management, or perhaps still from the

3278
01:52:05,510 --> 01:52:08,590
rather shadowy depths of the Department of Government

3279
01:52:08,590 --> 01:52:09,070
Efficiency.

3280
01:52:09,330 --> 01:52:11,150
That's the province of Elon Musk and his

3281
01:52:11,150 --> 01:52:11,470
minions.

3282
01:52:11,990 --> 01:52:14,350
And Trump has tasked with slashing the federal

3283
01:52:14,350 --> 01:52:14,870
workforce.

3284
01:52:15,410 --> 01:52:18,130
This email from OPM reiterating the original demand

3285
01:52:18,130 --> 01:52:20,990
for the five bullet points looked like what

3286
01:52:20,990 --> 01:52:21,570
Musk wanted.

3287
01:52:21,850 --> 01:52:23,830
Now, it's not clear yet which of these

3288
01:52:23,830 --> 01:52:27,110
messages, the first one sent from DOGE over

3289
01:52:27,110 --> 01:52:29,190
a week ago, or this latest one, is

3290
01:52:29,190 --> 01:52:29,830
more legitimate.

3291
01:52:29,830 --> 01:52:31,910
And it's not yet clear whether this is

3292
01:52:31,910 --> 01:52:33,810
real or just a gesture of some kind.

3293
01:52:34,290 --> 01:52:36,350
Trump seems to suggest its purpose is to

3294
01:52:36,350 --> 01:52:39,190
see how many of these federal employees actually

3295
01:52:39,190 --> 01:52:40,990
exist or come to work at all.

3296
01:52:41,490 --> 01:52:43,450
But in the short term, it's another way

3297
01:52:43,450 --> 01:52:45,330
to lower trust and regard for the government

3298
01:52:45,330 --> 01:52:47,610
and empower those who would displace it.

3299
01:52:48,030 --> 01:52:49,710
In the half a minute we have left,

3300
01:52:50,050 --> 01:52:52,610
possible cuts to Social Security, which used to

3301
01:52:52,610 --> 01:52:54,250
be considered the third rail.

3302
01:52:54,730 --> 01:52:56,630
At this point, the cuts are to Social

3303
01:52:56,630 --> 01:52:57,630
Security staff.

3304
01:52:57,630 --> 01:53:00,590
The administration announced Friday it plans to cut

3305
01:53:00,590 --> 01:53:03,250
7,000 jobs in response to an executive

3306
01:53:03,250 --> 01:53:05,950
order from President Trump, who has said he

3307
01:53:05,950 --> 01:53:08,710
wants to slash the federal workforce, even in

3308
01:53:08,710 --> 01:53:12,230
what have been considered politically sensitive functions, such

3309
01:53:12,230 --> 01:53:13,110
as Social Security.

3310
01:53:13,950 --> 01:53:16,530
He's saying social charcuterie.

3311
01:53:16,710 --> 01:53:19,490
I'm telling you, he couldn't say it again.

3312
01:53:21,610 --> 01:53:24,890
We have politically sensitive social charcuterie.

3313
01:53:25,030 --> 01:53:26,570
I mean, it's like, what are you?

3314
01:53:26,570 --> 01:53:27,850
What's wrong with you, dude?

3315
01:53:30,610 --> 01:53:34,290
Politically sensitive, cutting the staff, which is probably

3316
01:53:34,290 --> 01:53:36,330
not necessarily there because the problem is they

3317
01:53:36,330 --> 01:53:37,670
cut the people that know what they're doing,

3318
01:53:37,950 --> 01:53:38,950
which is typical.

3319
01:53:39,130 --> 01:53:39,990
That's what you do.

3320
01:53:41,090 --> 01:53:43,370
It's not good, but it's not cutting the

3321
01:53:43,370 --> 01:53:44,150
payments to anybody.

3322
01:53:44,330 --> 01:53:46,970
Nobody's getting shorted on their Social Security payments

3323
01:53:46,970 --> 01:53:49,590
or benefits, but they keep trying to conflate

3324
01:53:49,590 --> 01:53:49,890
the two.

3325
01:53:49,970 --> 01:53:51,070
And they did in both reports.

3326
01:53:51,130 --> 01:53:52,890
And this guy feels guilty about it.

3327
01:53:53,090 --> 01:53:55,350
Clearly, because he keeps stumbling over it.

3328
01:53:55,950 --> 01:53:58,030
And by the way, breaking news, the Norwegian

3329
01:53:58,030 --> 01:54:00,370
government has posted that U.S. ships will

3330
01:54:00,370 --> 01:54:02,950
be refueled, and they apologized for the incident

3331
01:54:02,950 --> 01:54:03,650
last night.

3332
01:54:04,210 --> 01:54:06,270
Sounds like a rogue employee on the X

3333
01:54:06,270 --> 01:54:07,770
account there.

3334
01:54:08,630 --> 01:54:08,850
Yep.

3335
01:54:09,350 --> 01:54:09,650
Yeah.

3336
01:54:09,970 --> 01:54:11,130
The old rogue employee.

3337
01:54:11,350 --> 01:54:14,330
This is like the rogue employee, which reminds

3338
01:54:14,330 --> 01:54:16,250
me of the situation that took place recently

3339
01:54:16,250 --> 01:54:18,990
with Apple, where if you type in racist

3340
01:54:18,990 --> 01:54:22,590
on the iPhone, it comes up, you know,

3341
01:54:22,650 --> 01:54:24,730
it's doing voice recognition.

3342
01:54:25,270 --> 01:54:28,750
Software, you say to the phone racist, and

3343
01:54:28,750 --> 01:54:30,010
it's going to type it out, and it

3344
01:54:30,010 --> 01:54:30,950
types out Trump.

3345
01:54:31,270 --> 01:54:33,670
And then it erases and puts racist.

3346
01:54:33,930 --> 01:54:35,890
Can anybody confirm that in the troll room?

3347
01:54:35,990 --> 01:54:37,050
So you have to use Siri.

3348
01:54:37,550 --> 01:54:39,210
It was, I saw it confirmed.

3349
01:54:40,150 --> 01:54:43,250
I saw it, but you know, AI, whatever.

3350
01:54:44,110 --> 01:54:46,130
I want to know if anyone can confirm

3351
01:54:46,130 --> 01:54:46,990
it with their iPhone.

3352
01:54:47,730 --> 01:54:50,430
I would like to say if it confirmed

3353
01:54:50,430 --> 01:54:52,990
or not confirmed, if this even happened for

3354
01:54:52,990 --> 01:54:55,490
a split second, this is a rogue employee.

3355
01:54:55,770 --> 01:54:57,750
They blame this and that and the other

3356
01:54:57,750 --> 01:54:58,030
thing.

3357
01:54:58,250 --> 01:54:59,730
We all know what it was.

3358
01:54:59,770 --> 01:55:00,370
You know what I'm saying?

3359
01:55:00,610 --> 01:55:01,130
Some joker.

3360
01:55:01,430 --> 01:55:04,030
If the video was, I've only seen one

3361
01:55:04,030 --> 01:55:04,990
video of this.

3362
01:55:05,650 --> 01:55:06,570
How many have you seen?

3363
01:55:06,910 --> 01:55:08,950
I saw one guy do it live on

3364
01:55:08,950 --> 01:55:10,430
local TV.

3365
01:55:10,570 --> 01:55:10,990
Oh, okay.

3366
01:55:11,210 --> 01:55:12,330
All right, well then, good.

3367
01:55:13,890 --> 01:55:16,050
And it was like, You know, John, it

3368
01:55:16,050 --> 01:55:17,610
was not a rogue employee.

3369
01:55:17,790 --> 01:55:18,710
It was a glitch.

3370
01:55:19,610 --> 01:55:22,670
It's definitely a rogue employee, some joker.

3371
01:55:22,670 --> 01:55:24,090
I know the type.

3372
01:55:24,650 --> 01:55:26,390
It's like, I got an idea.

3373
01:55:28,330 --> 01:55:29,590
Hey, watch this.

3374
01:55:30,950 --> 01:55:33,010
This is what people do when you're working

3375
01:55:33,010 --> 01:55:34,690
for a company and you get an idea

3376
01:55:34,690 --> 01:55:36,130
like this and you think you can get

3377
01:55:36,130 --> 01:55:36,650
away with it.

3378
01:55:36,650 --> 01:55:37,570
And you maybe could.

3379
01:55:37,910 --> 01:55:38,310
Yeah.

3380
01:55:38,590 --> 01:55:40,510
If you're really a good hacker, you could

3381
01:55:40,510 --> 01:55:41,810
get away with a lot of stuff.

3382
01:55:41,810 --> 01:55:42,590
I'm all for it.

3383
01:55:42,630 --> 01:55:43,410
I think it's funny.

3384
01:55:43,830 --> 01:55:44,990
It was very funny.

3385
01:55:45,090 --> 01:55:46,490
I thought the whole thing was hilarious.

3386
01:55:46,870 --> 01:55:47,850
Yeah, I think it's good.

3387
01:55:49,030 --> 01:55:50,430
It's a feature, not a bug.

3388
01:55:50,430 --> 01:55:52,910
Just remember, it's a feature of the iPhone.

3389
01:55:53,330 --> 01:55:54,510
All right, now let's do your D.C.

3390
01:55:54,610 --> 01:55:56,890
attorney's clips because you're on a roll here.

3391
01:55:57,650 --> 01:55:59,650
Yeah, we get to more NPR complaining.

3392
01:56:00,290 --> 01:56:02,330
And this is the one, this is like,

3393
01:56:02,850 --> 01:56:05,750
so the clips are self-explanatory.

3394
01:56:05,910 --> 01:56:08,290
This is about the firing or the demotion

3395
01:56:08,290 --> 01:56:08,930
of these guys.

3396
01:56:09,590 --> 01:56:11,570
Okay, here's the logic.

3397
01:56:12,010 --> 01:56:14,390
I have somebody working for me who is

3398
01:56:14,390 --> 01:56:16,890
politically active and he's causing trouble.

3399
01:56:17,210 --> 01:56:18,410
And so I demote him.

3400
01:56:18,930 --> 01:56:19,030
Yeah.

3401
01:56:19,030 --> 01:56:22,970
My demoting him is not meaning I'm politically

3402
01:56:22,970 --> 01:56:23,410
active.

3403
01:56:23,490 --> 01:56:25,410
I'm just trying to get this political action,

3404
01:56:26,290 --> 01:56:28,790
out of your company, activism out of the

3405
01:56:28,790 --> 01:56:29,150
office.

3406
01:56:29,470 --> 01:56:29,570
Yes.

3407
01:56:29,770 --> 01:56:31,470
But no, no, that's not the way NPR

3408
01:56:31,470 --> 01:56:31,950
sees it.

3409
01:56:32,050 --> 01:56:33,970
No, no, no, that's not what's going on.

3410
01:56:34,030 --> 01:56:34,510
Here we go.

3411
01:56:34,830 --> 01:56:36,870
The new leadership in the Trump Justice Department

3412
01:56:36,870 --> 01:56:38,950
continues to take actions against career pro-

3413
01:56:38,950 --> 01:56:41,210
Is this guy on the air 24 hours

3414
01:56:41,210 --> 01:56:41,770
a day now?

3415
01:56:41,770 --> 01:56:42,890
He's on a lot.

3416
01:56:44,550 --> 01:56:46,990
The new leadership in the Trump Justice Department

3417
01:56:46,990 --> 01:56:49,610
continues to take actions against career prosecutors.

3418
01:56:50,010 --> 01:56:51,950
Yesterday, the acting U.S. attorney in Washington,

3419
01:56:52,130 --> 01:56:55,390
D.C. demoted several senior attorneys, including those

3420
01:56:55,390 --> 01:56:58,970
who oversaw cases against President Trump's political allies

3421
01:56:58,970 --> 01:57:00,870
and January 6th rioters.

3422
01:57:01,710 --> 01:57:04,250
NPR's Justice Correspondent Ryan Lucas joins us.

3423
01:57:04,350 --> 01:57:05,550
Ryan, thank you for being with us.

3424
01:57:05,710 --> 01:57:06,470
Hello, thanks for having me.

3425
01:57:06,750 --> 01:57:08,810
What can you tell us about these demotions?

3426
01:57:09,570 --> 01:57:11,730
Well, sources tell me and our colleague Kerry

3427
01:57:11,730 --> 01:57:13,650
Johnson that the acting U.S. attorney in

3428
01:57:13,650 --> 01:57:16,430
Washington, D.C., Ed Martin demoted at least

3429
01:57:16,430 --> 01:57:18,410
seven top prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's

3430
01:57:18,410 --> 01:57:18,930
office here.

3431
01:57:19,370 --> 01:57:20,670
One of them is John Crabb.

3432
01:57:20,750 --> 01:57:22,330
He was a supervisor in the office.

3433
01:57:22,510 --> 01:57:24,550
He was involved in the cases against Trump

3434
01:57:24,550 --> 01:57:26,390
allies Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.

3435
01:57:26,830 --> 01:57:29,030
He also oversaw January 6th cases.

3436
01:57:29,590 --> 01:57:31,250
Another prosecutor is Greg Rosen.

3437
01:57:31,450 --> 01:57:33,090
He led the Capitol Siege unit.

3438
01:57:33,190 --> 01:57:35,450
That's the unit that prosecuted January 6th cases.

3439
01:57:36,110 --> 01:57:37,750
And then two of the other attorneys who

3440
01:57:37,750 --> 01:57:40,230
were demoted worked on two of the most

3441
01:57:40,230 --> 01:57:41,770
high-profile cases to come out of the

3442
01:57:41,770 --> 01:57:42,910
Capitol riot investigation.

3443
01:57:43,470 --> 01:57:45,470
One of the attorneys helped lead the prosecution

3444
01:57:45,470 --> 01:57:46,450
against Stuart Rhodes.

3445
01:57:46,570 --> 01:57:48,150
He's the leader of the far-right Oath

3446
01:57:48,150 --> 01:57:49,150
Keepers extremist group.

3447
01:57:49,250 --> 01:57:49,770
Far-right extremist group.

3448
01:57:49,770 --> 01:57:52,110
Rhodes was convicted at trial of seditious conspiracy.

3449
01:57:52,710 --> 01:57:54,190
One of the other attorneys helped spearhead the

3450
01:57:54,190 --> 01:57:55,970
case against Enrique Tarrio, the former head of

3451
01:57:55,970 --> 01:57:57,350
the Proud Boys extremist group.

3452
01:57:57,490 --> 01:58:00,390
Tarrio as well was convicted of seditious conspiracy

3453
01:58:00,390 --> 01:58:01,190
at trial.

3454
01:58:01,330 --> 01:58:03,170
So the bottom line here is all of

3455
01:58:03,170 --> 01:58:05,970
the attorneys who were demoted were senior prosecutors

3456
01:58:05,970 --> 01:58:08,310
with a lot of experience, and now they're

3457
01:58:08,310 --> 01:58:11,010
being reassigned to basically entry-level jobs.

3458
01:58:11,250 --> 01:58:11,690
Oh, no.

3459
01:58:12,830 --> 01:58:13,870
Seditious conspiracy.

3460
01:58:15,290 --> 01:58:16,250
What is that?

3461
01:58:16,490 --> 01:58:17,990
They overcharged these guys.

3462
01:58:18,110 --> 01:58:19,050
It's pretty obvious.

3463
01:58:19,330 --> 01:58:21,810
And then the fact that Bannon and Navarro

3464
01:58:21,810 --> 01:58:24,390
spent time in prison for what?

3465
01:58:24,770 --> 01:58:25,030
Yeah.

3466
01:58:25,190 --> 01:58:25,610
Is it good?

3467
01:58:25,750 --> 01:58:28,690
That was totally politically motivated, and there's no

3468
01:58:28,690 --> 01:58:30,750
question about it in anybody's mind.

3469
01:58:31,070 --> 01:58:32,910
I mean, what's Bannon doing in jail?

3470
01:58:33,570 --> 01:58:34,730
Seditious conspiracy.

3471
01:58:34,990 --> 01:58:36,630
If he got thrown in jail for being

3472
01:58:36,630 --> 01:58:38,490
a bad podcaster, that would be different.

3473
01:58:38,710 --> 01:58:40,830
He should be in solitary confinement.

3474
01:58:41,910 --> 01:58:43,790
If two or more persons in any state

3475
01:58:43,790 --> 01:58:45,610
or territory or any place subject to the

3476
01:58:45,610 --> 01:58:47,830
jurisdiction of the United States conspire to overthrow,

3477
01:58:48,130 --> 01:58:50,430
put down, or to destroy by force the

3478
01:58:50,430 --> 01:58:52,170
government of the United States.

3479
01:58:52,810 --> 01:58:54,050
Wow, that's a pretty heavy charge.

3480
01:58:54,270 --> 01:58:57,530
I'm having lunch with Joe Coffey.

3481
01:58:58,330 --> 01:58:59,830
He's one of the January 6 guys.

3482
01:59:00,310 --> 01:59:00,510
He's here.

3483
01:59:00,710 --> 01:59:01,730
He'll have stories to tell.

3484
01:59:01,810 --> 01:59:02,150
Oh, yeah.

3485
01:59:02,430 --> 01:59:02,590
Yeah.

3486
01:59:03,730 --> 01:59:05,750
You remember the guy with the crutch holding

3487
01:59:05,750 --> 01:59:06,810
the crutch up in the air?

3488
01:59:07,310 --> 01:59:08,230
Oh, he's that guy.

3489
01:59:08,330 --> 01:59:08,590
Yeah.

3490
01:59:08,870 --> 01:59:11,010
And so what he was saying was, pray,

3491
01:59:11,170 --> 01:59:12,070
everybody, pray.

3492
01:59:12,250 --> 01:59:13,210
And then he was getting beaten.

3493
01:59:13,650 --> 01:59:15,010
He's a peacekeeper.

3494
01:59:15,290 --> 01:59:18,950
Yes, he was getting beaten by some Capitol

3495
01:59:18,950 --> 01:59:19,410
cop.

3496
01:59:19,610 --> 01:59:19,950
Oh, yeah.

3497
01:59:20,870 --> 01:59:21,850
Yeah, he got through.

3498
01:59:22,790 --> 01:59:23,750
That's a good guy.

3499
01:59:23,870 --> 01:59:24,310
You should buy.

3500
01:59:24,390 --> 01:59:25,010
You should be paying.

3501
01:59:25,030 --> 01:59:25,970
Of course I'm going to pay.

3502
01:59:26,430 --> 01:59:27,670
He goes to our church.

3503
01:59:27,770 --> 01:59:28,510
He just moved here.

3504
01:59:28,630 --> 01:59:29,350
So I can't wait.

3505
01:59:29,530 --> 01:59:31,730
We got a fun church group.

3506
01:59:32,210 --> 01:59:33,790
You should get a picture.

3507
01:59:34,050 --> 01:59:36,370
You should be holding up the crutch.

3508
01:59:36,570 --> 01:59:36,670
Yeah.

3509
01:59:37,390 --> 01:59:38,410
Get a shot of that.

3510
01:59:38,610 --> 01:59:39,310
Anyway, let's go.

3511
01:59:39,310 --> 01:59:41,770
Part two of this was reason given.

3512
01:59:42,490 --> 01:59:44,390
Well, one source tells me that Martin notified

3513
01:59:44,390 --> 01:59:45,930
these individuals by email.

3514
01:59:46,410 --> 01:59:47,670
And at least one of the emails, Martin

3515
01:59:47,670 --> 01:59:49,690
said that every U.S. attorney has to

3516
01:59:49,690 --> 01:59:52,010
assess the needs of their office as set

3517
01:59:52,010 --> 01:59:53,850
forth by the president and the attorney general

3518
01:59:53,850 --> 01:59:55,570
and, in essence, their priorities.

3519
01:59:56,150 --> 01:59:59,350
And therefore, these senior prosecutors were being reassigned,

3520
01:59:59,430 --> 02:00:00,190
effective immediately.

3521
02:00:00,730 --> 02:00:02,010
And at least one of the emails ended

3522
02:00:02,010 --> 02:00:04,450
by saying, this change is not temporary.

3523
02:00:04,650 --> 02:00:06,510
Now, I'm told that some of the senior

3524
02:00:06,510 --> 02:00:09,170
prosecutors were assigned to misdemeanors, which is where

3525
02:00:09,170 --> 02:00:11,390
brand new prosecutors in the office are usually

3526
02:00:11,390 --> 02:00:11,850
assigned.

3527
02:00:12,470 --> 02:00:14,670
Others were demoted to what's known as the

3528
02:00:14,670 --> 02:00:16,630
intake section, which is also for junior folks

3529
02:00:16,630 --> 02:00:17,170
in the office.

3530
02:00:17,870 --> 02:00:20,590
One person I spoke with described these demotions

3531
02:00:20,590 --> 02:00:23,690
as pure political retribution for working on cases

3532
02:00:23,690 --> 02:00:25,730
that the Trump administration does not like.

3533
02:00:26,090 --> 02:00:27,810
Now, I contacted the U.S. attorney's office

3534
02:00:27,810 --> 02:00:29,590
about these actions for comment.

3535
02:00:29,710 --> 02:00:30,750
It did not respond.

3536
02:00:31,030 --> 02:00:33,230
But this is not the first time that

3537
02:00:33,230 --> 02:00:34,910
Ed Martin, the acting U.S. attorney here,

3538
02:00:34,910 --> 02:00:37,990
has taken what appear to be retaliatory action

3539
02:00:37,990 --> 02:00:39,090
against the office he leads.

3540
02:00:39,230 --> 02:00:41,390
He previously fired more than a dozen prosecutors

3541
02:00:41,390 --> 02:00:43,750
in his office who worked January 6 cases.

3542
02:00:44,150 --> 02:00:46,050
So this is just the latest turmoil to

3543
02:00:46,050 --> 02:00:48,050
hit the U.S. attorney's office here in

3544
02:00:48,050 --> 02:00:49,770
D.C., which is one of the most

3545
02:00:49,770 --> 02:00:50,550
important in the country.

3546
02:00:51,450 --> 02:00:53,050
One of the worst in the country, too.

3547
02:00:53,190 --> 02:00:53,870
It's a known fact.

3548
02:00:53,990 --> 02:00:55,450
They're the guys who wouldn't do anything about

3549
02:00:55,450 --> 02:00:57,650
the Fast and Furious situation.

3550
02:00:57,750 --> 02:00:59,110
Oh, right, right, right.

3551
02:00:59,130 --> 02:01:02,510
And when, yeah, when Holder was taken as

3552
02:01:02,510 --> 02:01:05,790
contempt of Congress, they wouldn't press charges against

3553
02:01:05,790 --> 02:01:06,050
him.

3554
02:01:06,050 --> 02:01:08,010
But yet they'll throw Bannon in jail.

3555
02:01:09,730 --> 02:01:12,010
I can't argue the bad podcasting bit.

3556
02:01:12,230 --> 02:01:14,270
I mean, he needed to go away for

3557
02:01:14,270 --> 02:01:14,530
a bit.

3558
02:01:15,050 --> 02:01:16,290
And with that, I'd like to thank you

3559
02:01:16,290 --> 02:01:16,890
for your courage.

3560
02:01:17,010 --> 02:01:17,950
Say in the morning to you, the man

3561
02:01:17,950 --> 02:01:19,910
who put the C's in the social charcuterie.

3562
02:01:20,090 --> 02:01:21,310
Say hello to my friend on the other

3563
02:01:21,310 --> 02:01:23,650
end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.

3564
02:01:23,890 --> 02:01:24,210
DeMora.

3565
02:01:26,790 --> 02:01:28,570
Yeah, good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curran.

3566
02:01:28,630 --> 02:01:29,790
Good morning to you, Mr. Steve Booster, the

3567
02:01:29,790 --> 02:01:31,010
gramps in the air, subs in the morning,

3568
02:01:31,150 --> 02:01:32,290
the dames and knights out there.

3569
02:01:32,350 --> 02:01:33,690
In the morning to the trolls in the

3570
02:01:33,690 --> 02:01:34,110
troll room.

3571
02:01:34,230 --> 02:01:34,910
Let me count your trolls.

3572
02:01:39,290 --> 02:01:40,010
All right.

3573
02:01:40,090 --> 02:01:41,390
We outdid last Sunday.

3574
02:01:41,810 --> 02:01:45,050
Last Sunday, we had 2,573 peak trollage.

3575
02:01:45,170 --> 02:01:48,010
And today, 2,759.

3576
02:01:48,610 --> 02:01:50,130
Ooh, getting back to the good old days.

3577
02:01:50,150 --> 02:01:53,770
Which is now the over the last 100

3578
02:01:53,770 --> 02:01:56,210
shows, it's been 2,279 is the average.

3579
02:01:56,330 --> 02:01:57,410
So we're above average.

3580
02:01:57,510 --> 02:01:57,970
Very nice.

3581
02:01:58,510 --> 02:01:59,210
Well done, trolls.

3582
02:01:59,310 --> 02:02:00,230
And you know why, John?

3583
02:02:00,310 --> 02:02:00,630
You know why?

3584
02:02:00,630 --> 02:02:02,090
Trump is good for the show.

3585
02:02:03,470 --> 02:02:05,250
As long as he keeps up the blurt.

3586
02:02:05,430 --> 02:02:07,270
Keep on blurting, Prez.

3587
02:02:07,670 --> 02:02:08,530
It's good for us.

3588
02:02:08,730 --> 02:02:11,770
It'd be something between now and next Thursday,

3589
02:02:11,910 --> 02:02:12,750
Trump will do something.

3590
02:02:12,810 --> 02:02:14,370
He'll get everyone all riled up.

3591
02:02:16,350 --> 02:02:16,790
Yes.

3592
02:02:17,230 --> 02:02:19,730
Oh, Lord, please have President Trump do something

3593
02:02:19,730 --> 02:02:20,890
to rile everybody up.

3594
02:02:20,910 --> 02:02:21,370
It's good.

3595
02:02:21,430 --> 02:02:22,910
We love having the trolls with us.

3596
02:02:23,050 --> 02:02:24,930
They're in the troll room at trollroom.io,

3597
02:02:25,030 --> 02:02:26,510
or they may be listening on one of

3598
02:02:26,510 --> 02:02:27,770
those modern podcast apps.

3599
02:02:28,090 --> 02:02:29,850
Today, I'm going to promote PodVerse.

3600
02:02:29,990 --> 02:02:33,590
PodVerse, you can find PodVerse at podcastapps.com.

3601
02:02:34,010 --> 02:02:35,550
There's many more you can use, but these

3602
02:02:35,550 --> 02:02:37,890
apps, the ones that have the live notification

3603
02:02:37,890 --> 02:02:39,950
feature, you can listen to the live stream.

3604
02:02:40,270 --> 02:02:40,850
It's fun.

3605
02:02:41,250 --> 02:02:43,810
It's the modern way to listen to podcasts.

3606
02:02:44,330 --> 02:02:46,590
More and more people are moving towards recording

3607
02:02:46,590 --> 02:02:48,530
live in real time, which honestly, you should

3608
02:02:48,530 --> 02:02:49,850
demand from your podcast.

3609
02:02:51,070 --> 02:02:53,330
You know, that is, and that you should

3610
02:02:53,330 --> 02:02:55,330
be able to sit there in a troll

3611
02:02:55,330 --> 02:02:57,970
room and troll them, be the studio audience.

3612
02:02:58,410 --> 02:02:59,150
We have no fear.

3613
02:02:59,250 --> 02:02:59,690
We love it.

3614
02:02:59,690 --> 02:03:03,410
A lot of people have trouble, I think,

3615
02:03:03,850 --> 02:03:05,290
doing live to tape.

3616
02:03:05,770 --> 02:03:06,190
Oh, yes.

3617
02:03:06,190 --> 02:03:06,950
Which is the thesis.

3618
02:03:07,310 --> 02:03:09,110
One of the two reasons that we ever

3619
02:03:09,110 --> 02:03:11,350
started doing a podcast together is the two

3620
02:03:11,350 --> 02:03:15,970
of us philosophically are live to tape guys.

3621
02:03:16,450 --> 02:03:17,290
We are, yes.

3622
02:03:17,750 --> 02:03:19,230
We are no edit live to tape.

3623
02:03:19,230 --> 02:03:19,630
And it is a philosophy.

3624
02:03:20,030 --> 02:03:21,430
A lot of people won't, no, no, no.

3625
02:03:21,510 --> 02:03:22,870
You got to clean it up.

3626
02:03:23,530 --> 02:03:24,770
You got to record it, and then you

3627
02:03:24,770 --> 02:03:26,210
clean it up, and you do a cut

3628
02:03:26,210 --> 02:03:27,530
in, and a this and a that.

3629
02:03:27,530 --> 02:03:31,650
And you know that there's these modern editors

3630
02:03:31,650 --> 02:03:33,950
like Descript or Descript, I'm not sure how

3631
02:03:33,950 --> 02:03:36,690
you pronounce it, where you can actually sample

3632
02:03:36,690 --> 02:03:37,370
your voice.

3633
02:03:37,630 --> 02:03:39,290
And then if you, and you can, so

3634
02:03:39,290 --> 02:03:41,550
first you can edit on the transcript, which

3635
02:03:41,550 --> 02:03:42,990
is kind of cool, you know, like, I'm

3636
02:03:42,990 --> 02:03:44,250
going to edit this word out.

3637
02:03:44,550 --> 02:03:48,170
But you can also have it replace words

3638
02:03:48,170 --> 02:03:49,270
with your own voice.

3639
02:03:50,350 --> 02:03:52,210
I mean, at what point do you just

3640
02:03:52,210 --> 02:03:52,970
like give up?

3641
02:03:53,250 --> 02:03:54,210
Just give up.

3642
02:03:54,930 --> 02:03:56,950
It takes the soul out of it, people.

3643
02:03:56,950 --> 02:03:58,710
It just takes the soul out of it.

3644
02:03:58,770 --> 02:03:59,450
I don't understand.

3645
02:03:59,730 --> 02:04:01,390
Don't understand why they do this.

3646
02:04:02,370 --> 02:04:04,030
All of this is done under the value

3647
02:04:04,030 --> 02:04:04,770
for value model.

3648
02:04:04,970 --> 02:04:06,490
It's called overproduced.

3649
02:04:06,670 --> 02:04:07,210
Oh, yeah.

3650
02:04:08,150 --> 02:04:08,630
Yeah.

3651
02:04:08,790 --> 02:04:11,330
Well, during COVID, when everybody was doing a

3652
02:04:11,330 --> 02:04:15,150
podcast, that's when the role of podcast editor

3653
02:04:15,150 --> 02:04:15,850
came about.

3654
02:04:16,430 --> 02:04:17,090
What do you do?

3655
02:04:17,110 --> 02:04:18,150
I'm a podcast editor.

3656
02:04:19,130 --> 02:04:23,410
You know, there are people with thriving careers

3657
02:04:23,410 --> 02:04:25,650
as editors for influencers.

3658
02:04:27,370 --> 02:04:27,730
Really?

3659
02:04:28,030 --> 02:04:28,450
Oh, yeah.

3660
02:04:29,690 --> 02:04:31,770
Christina's fiance is doing some of that work

3661
02:04:31,770 --> 02:04:31,930
now.

3662
02:04:31,950 --> 02:04:32,470
It's pretty good.

3663
02:04:33,330 --> 02:04:35,670
He gets, I think, is that like 75

3664
02:04:35,670 --> 02:04:36,470
bucks an hour?

3665
02:04:37,770 --> 02:04:39,730
And it was the response for the herky

3666
02:04:39,730 --> 02:04:40,390
jerk look.

3667
02:04:40,570 --> 02:04:43,510
That's become so in vogue.

3668
02:04:43,770 --> 02:04:44,550
Yes, yes.

3669
02:04:44,690 --> 02:04:46,030
Your head's over here, then it's over here

3670
02:04:46,030 --> 02:04:47,930
by a millimeter, then it's this way, looking

3671
02:04:47,930 --> 02:04:48,910
that way, looking that way.

3672
02:04:48,910 --> 02:04:49,050
Oh, yeah.

3673
02:04:49,090 --> 02:04:50,210
I need the words on the screen.

3674
02:04:50,330 --> 02:04:51,150
I need to pop something up.

3675
02:04:51,270 --> 02:04:52,030
You know, pew and flash.

3676
02:04:52,790 --> 02:04:54,250
Yeah, because, oh, no attention span.

3677
02:04:55,570 --> 02:04:56,490
It's like radio.

3678
02:04:58,130 --> 02:05:02,390
Anyway, we operate under the value for value

3679
02:05:02,390 --> 02:05:04,650
model, which is quite well understood these days,

3680
02:05:04,690 --> 02:05:06,050
which means we do the show.

3681
02:05:06,270 --> 02:05:07,530
We provide value to you.

3682
02:05:07,750 --> 02:05:10,430
If you don't get value, tune out.

3683
02:05:11,170 --> 02:05:13,570
If you do, consider returning some to help

3684
02:05:13,570 --> 02:05:13,730
us.

3685
02:05:13,810 --> 02:05:15,630
We ask for time, talent and treasure.

3686
02:05:16,490 --> 02:05:19,770
And we have a bunch of artists and

3687
02:05:19,770 --> 02:05:22,290
prompt jockeys who are always at the ready

3688
02:05:22,290 --> 02:05:25,430
to provide us some value back in the

3689
02:05:25,430 --> 02:05:27,370
form of artwork, which we like using in

3690
02:05:27,370 --> 02:05:27,990
two ways.

3691
02:05:28,130 --> 02:05:31,250
One is the actual artwork for each individual

3692
02:05:31,250 --> 02:05:33,030
episode, which looks nice in the modern podcast

3693
02:05:33,030 --> 02:05:33,490
apps.

3694
02:05:34,290 --> 02:05:36,590
And also, Dreb Scott uses them for his

3695
02:05:36,590 --> 02:05:38,610
chapter work, which is also a feature of

3696
02:05:38,610 --> 02:05:39,750
the modern podcast apps.

3697
02:05:39,890 --> 02:05:41,370
And you can, you know, you can jump

3698
02:05:41,370 --> 02:05:42,850
around, like, oh, let me see what this

3699
02:05:42,850 --> 02:05:43,530
section is about.

3700
02:05:43,590 --> 02:05:45,090
And it'll even have a handy image, which

3701
02:05:45,090 --> 02:05:46,710
should bring a smile to your face.

3702
02:05:46,710 --> 02:05:49,050
Because most of the images the artists put

3703
02:05:49,050 --> 02:05:50,770
together bring a smile to your face, some

3704
02:05:50,770 --> 02:05:53,210
more than others, which means we chose the

3705
02:05:53,210 --> 02:05:57,930
artwork from Matthew Dropko, officially Matthew Dropko 1972,

3706
02:05:58,570 --> 02:06:03,450
for episode 1742, 1742, which we titled Golden

3707
02:06:03,450 --> 02:06:03,910
Poop.

3708
02:06:06,010 --> 02:06:07,790
Oh yeah, that was our exit strategy.

3709
02:06:07,890 --> 02:06:09,330
The Golden Poop exit strategy.

3710
02:06:09,410 --> 02:06:10,170
Forgot about that.

3711
02:06:10,750 --> 02:06:12,750
And this was a worker chicken.

3712
02:06:13,470 --> 02:06:17,570
A chicken worker, actually, as was discussed during

3713
02:06:17,570 --> 02:06:17,930
the show.

3714
02:06:18,310 --> 02:06:20,910
You liked it right away.

3715
02:06:20,910 --> 02:06:22,350
I liked it right away.

3716
02:06:22,510 --> 02:06:24,390
You thought it was the only one worth

3717
02:06:24,390 --> 02:06:24,710
doing.

3718
02:06:25,210 --> 02:06:26,790
That's one of the reasons I liked it

3719
02:06:26,790 --> 02:06:28,430
right away, because I didn't see anything that

3720
02:06:28,430 --> 02:06:30,230
was going to work.

3721
02:06:30,430 --> 02:06:34,170
I think I submitted, no, you said, find

3722
02:06:34,170 --> 02:06:35,470
a better one and convince me.

3723
02:06:35,670 --> 02:06:37,450
That's pretty much exactly what you said.

3724
02:06:37,550 --> 02:06:38,530
That's exactly what I said.

3725
02:06:38,590 --> 02:06:39,450
Not in that voice.

3726
02:06:40,790 --> 02:06:41,670
But close.

3727
02:06:42,990 --> 02:06:45,890
We briefly discussed Darren O'Neill's po-casting.

3728
02:06:47,610 --> 02:06:48,470
What was that about?

3729
02:06:48,550 --> 02:06:50,050
Was that People of Color podcast?

3730
02:06:50,330 --> 02:06:50,810
I can't remember.

3731
02:06:50,810 --> 02:06:52,270
Po-casting, yeah.

3732
02:06:52,810 --> 02:06:55,970
Blue Acorn had a Jump Chomp Trump, which

3733
02:06:55,970 --> 02:06:57,210
was okay.

3734
02:06:59,270 --> 02:07:00,270
People doing...

3735
02:07:00,270 --> 02:07:03,390
The real AI ones are just becoming annoying.

3736
02:07:03,650 --> 02:07:04,630
Let me see what else was...

3737
02:07:04,630 --> 02:07:07,130
There really wasn't anything.

3738
02:07:08,570 --> 02:07:09,850
No, I can't see anything.

3739
02:07:11,710 --> 02:07:13,290
Oh, a couple of people tried to do

3740
02:07:13,290 --> 02:07:14,950
the gold card gag.

3741
02:07:16,190 --> 02:07:16,290
But that didn't...

3742
02:07:16,290 --> 02:07:17,490
Yeah, a lot actually, you're right.

3743
02:07:17,630 --> 02:07:18,850
Yeah, Nico Syme tried.

3744
02:07:18,890 --> 02:07:20,330
It just didn't quite work.

3745
02:07:21,630 --> 02:07:23,850
And Dame Kenny Bent had the right idea

3746
02:07:23,850 --> 02:07:26,150
with a Welcome to the USA tote bag.

3747
02:07:26,650 --> 02:07:28,510
But then instead of a gold card, she

3748
02:07:28,510 --> 02:07:29,670
had a platinum card.

3749
02:07:30,890 --> 02:07:36,190
And then Brunetti's partner, Scaramanga, did the black

3750
02:07:36,190 --> 02:07:37,150
kid eating the bat.

3751
02:07:37,530 --> 02:07:40,250
Yeah, we're like, yeah, no, we don't think

3752
02:07:40,250 --> 02:07:42,330
we're going to have a black kid eating

3753
02:07:42,330 --> 02:07:42,650
him.

3754
02:07:43,470 --> 02:07:45,430
That's going to be a great movie, Brunetti.

3755
02:07:45,770 --> 02:07:46,790
It's going to be, I'm sure you'll be

3756
02:07:46,790 --> 02:07:47,450
just fine.

3757
02:07:48,450 --> 02:07:50,130
But I saw a preview of the Brunetti

3758
02:07:50,130 --> 02:07:50,550
movie.

3759
02:07:51,070 --> 02:07:54,570
And it's a cheesecake lady sitting in a

3760
02:07:54,570 --> 02:07:56,670
coffee shop with Jesus reading the Bible.

3761
02:07:57,130 --> 02:08:00,230
And then James Bond outside is this very,

3762
02:08:00,410 --> 02:08:01,910
very strange plot.

3763
02:08:02,070 --> 02:08:03,570
I'm not quite sure exactly what they're trying

3764
02:08:03,570 --> 02:08:04,090
to do there.

3765
02:08:05,710 --> 02:08:07,050
The Acme of Podcasts.

3766
02:08:07,070 --> 02:08:07,650
No, you were right.

3767
02:08:08,510 --> 02:08:08,950
You were right.

3768
02:08:09,010 --> 02:08:10,090
I think it was the best one.

3769
02:08:10,350 --> 02:08:12,210
And we thank you very much, Matthew Dropko.

3770
02:08:12,590 --> 02:08:14,930
Anybody can participate in this competition, which is

3771
02:08:14,930 --> 02:08:15,830
the cool part about it.

3772
02:08:15,870 --> 02:08:17,930
You just go to noagendaartgenerator.com.

3773
02:08:18,070 --> 02:08:19,090
You can upload it.

3774
02:08:19,090 --> 02:08:21,350
If you're doing it live, when we're doing

3775
02:08:21,350 --> 02:08:22,670
it live, then you have a good shot

3776
02:08:22,670 --> 02:08:23,290
of being chosen.

3777
02:08:23,410 --> 02:08:26,870
Because right after the show, we find the

3778
02:08:26,870 --> 02:08:28,150
opening snippet.

3779
02:08:28,330 --> 02:08:30,710
We then check the credits, make sure they're

3780
02:08:30,710 --> 02:08:30,850
good.

3781
02:08:31,670 --> 02:08:33,350
It's like a nuclear code check.

3782
02:08:33,430 --> 02:08:35,190
We both go through the list, make sure

3783
02:08:35,190 --> 02:08:36,210
we don't miss anybody.

3784
02:08:36,310 --> 02:08:37,750
Make sure the switcheroos are all done.

3785
02:08:37,850 --> 02:08:38,730
Then we choose the title.

3786
02:08:39,870 --> 02:08:40,850
No, then we choose the artwork.

3787
02:08:40,990 --> 02:08:41,830
Then we choose the title.

3788
02:08:41,970 --> 02:08:42,670
That's the sequence.

3789
02:08:42,970 --> 02:08:44,130
So you can participate.

3790
02:08:44,290 --> 02:08:46,430
And remember, lots of this art gets used

3791
02:08:46,430 --> 02:08:48,670
in the modern podcast apps chapters.

3792
02:08:49,590 --> 02:08:51,490
Now to the treasure portion of our value

3793
02:08:51,490 --> 02:08:52,250
for value model.

3794
02:08:52,370 --> 02:08:53,890
This is where we thank every single person

3795
02:08:53,890 --> 02:08:56,150
who supports us with treasure, $50 and above.

3796
02:08:56,450 --> 02:08:58,410
And we start in this segment with our

3797
02:08:58,410 --> 02:09:00,270
executive and associate executive producers.

3798
02:09:00,630 --> 02:09:01,550
These are real credits.

3799
02:09:01,650 --> 02:09:02,630
You can use them anywhere.

3800
02:09:02,930 --> 02:09:05,190
Especially, you can show up to Dana Brunetti's

3801
02:09:05,190 --> 02:09:07,870
house and say, I'm an executive producer of

3802
02:09:07,870 --> 02:09:08,710
the No Agenda show.

3803
02:09:08,870 --> 02:09:09,590
Let me in.

3804
02:09:10,510 --> 02:09:12,010
And he'll probably get shot.

3805
02:09:13,730 --> 02:09:16,070
$200 above, associate executive producer.

3806
02:09:16,070 --> 02:09:17,950
You can put it on imdb.com or

3807
02:09:17,950 --> 02:09:19,730
any of your social media profiles.

3808
02:09:19,870 --> 02:09:21,570
Your LinkedIn looks very impressive there.

3809
02:09:21,670 --> 02:09:22,750
And we'll read your note.

3810
02:09:22,830 --> 02:09:25,350
$300 and above, you get an executive producer

3811
02:09:25,350 --> 02:09:26,590
credit and we'll read your note.

3812
02:09:26,630 --> 02:09:28,630
And we start off with Joel Sides from

3813
02:09:28,630 --> 02:09:33,150
Medina, Texas, who comes in with 515.38.

3814
02:09:33,230 --> 02:09:35,870
I'm pretty sure that's $500 plus the fees.

3815
02:09:36,250 --> 02:09:39,390
And he says, John, you are a very

3816
02:09:39,390 --> 02:09:41,270
good job of co-hosting the show.

3817
02:09:41,490 --> 02:09:42,530
I think he means do a very good

3818
02:09:42,530 --> 02:09:42,810
job.

3819
02:09:42,810 --> 02:09:45,010
I don't care what Adam says about you

3820
02:09:45,010 --> 02:09:45,970
around the hill country.

3821
02:09:47,470 --> 02:09:47,950
What?

3822
02:09:48,910 --> 02:09:50,390
I don't know.

3823
02:09:50,390 --> 02:09:51,230
What does he say?

3824
02:09:51,490 --> 02:09:52,850
I don't know what I say.

3825
02:09:53,350 --> 02:09:54,470
Ah, you do.

3826
02:09:54,630 --> 02:09:57,350
The show is always entertaining and very informative.

3827
02:09:57,590 --> 02:09:58,930
Thanks for all the hard work.

3828
02:09:59,430 --> 02:10:00,790
Oh, not you're not.

3829
02:10:00,910 --> 02:10:01,910
Oh, yes, I am.

3830
02:10:02,310 --> 02:10:03,270
Commodore Sides.

3831
02:10:05,130 --> 02:10:08,570
He's a little discombobulated in his note there.

3832
02:10:09,390 --> 02:10:10,470
But thank you, Joel.

3833
02:10:10,550 --> 02:10:12,610
I speak nothing but highly of Dvorak.

3834
02:10:12,810 --> 02:10:14,510
Some lady came up to me the other

3835
02:10:14,510 --> 02:10:16,890
day and said, John, what did she say?

3836
02:10:17,090 --> 02:10:18,410
John cracked me up with something.

3837
02:10:18,470 --> 02:10:19,310
I forget what it was.

3838
02:10:19,490 --> 02:10:22,350
Came up to me, not say like, hey,

3839
02:10:22,390 --> 02:10:23,950
man, you're so awesome or I saw you

3840
02:10:23,950 --> 02:10:24,450
on Rogan.

3841
02:10:24,550 --> 02:10:26,850
No, no, John was so funny on the

3842
02:10:26,850 --> 02:10:27,310
last show.

3843
02:10:27,490 --> 02:10:28,370
So it does happen.

3844
02:10:28,490 --> 02:10:29,370
People love you.

3845
02:10:33,300 --> 02:10:36,200
Sir, dude named Ralph in Miami, Florida.

3846
02:10:36,920 --> 02:10:39,200
He came in with 515.38. There we

3847
02:10:39,200 --> 02:10:39,400
go.

3848
02:10:39,860 --> 02:10:44,080
Same thing, which means the Commodore plus $15

3849
02:10:44,080 --> 02:10:46,280
.38 for the- For PayPal.

3850
02:10:47,980 --> 02:10:50,720
This note is for my donation of 15,

3851
02:10:51,160 --> 02:10:55,020
15 or 515.38 to earn my rank

3852
02:10:55,020 --> 02:10:57,200
of Commodore of the No Agenda Show.

3853
02:10:58,180 --> 02:11:01,400
I want to thank you both, the back

3854

producers for making the best podcast in the

3856
02:11:05,560 --> 02:11:06,380
universe possible.

3857
02:11:07,000 --> 02:11:09,360
The show has been a valuable resource to

3858
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:10,200
me over the years.

3859
02:11:10,300 --> 02:11:11,900
May I please have some jobs, Carmen, to

3860
02:11:11,900 --> 02:11:13,820
ensure my job seeking success.

3861
02:11:14,540 --> 02:11:15,420
All the best.

3862
02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:17,840
Baron dude named Ralph.

3863
02:11:17,980 --> 02:11:21,440
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.

3864
02:11:21,600 --> 02:11:23,120
Let's vote for jobs.

3865
02:11:24,500 --> 02:11:25,960
You've got karma.

3866
02:11:27,560 --> 02:11:30,200
We go to Jeff Barrick, I think, B

3867
02:11:30,200 --> 02:11:31,160
-A-R-I-C-H.

3868
02:11:31,280 --> 02:11:33,600
Barrick from Coos Bay, Oregon.

3869
02:11:33,740 --> 02:11:37,060
$3.50 and 93 cents, which he says

3870
02:11:37,060 --> 02:11:40,280
is $3.33.33 plus the PayPal fees.

3871
02:11:40,420 --> 02:11:42,220
Jingles requested the full Trump clip of they're

3872
02:11:42,220 --> 02:11:43,980
eating the dogs, eating the cats, they're eating

3873
02:11:43,980 --> 02:11:45,900
the pets, followed by little girl yay.

3874
02:11:46,120 --> 02:11:47,280
And this is a switcheroo.

3875
02:11:47,480 --> 02:11:47,800
Uh-oh.

3876
02:11:48,020 --> 02:11:50,660
All right, let me get this ready here.

3877
02:11:51,140 --> 02:11:54,920
In the morning, my name is Jeff Barich.

3878
02:11:55,120 --> 02:11:58,400
Okay, a handy pronunciation guide there, Jeff.

3879
02:11:58,480 --> 02:11:58,960
Thank you.

3880
02:11:59,160 --> 02:12:00,240
That is- You got it.

3881
02:12:00,240 --> 02:12:00,680
Got it.

3882
02:12:01,400 --> 02:12:01,880
Barich.

3883
02:12:02,220 --> 02:12:04,400
And this donation is for my smoking hot

3884
02:12:04,400 --> 02:12:07,760
wife Libby Barich's birthday on 3-3, which

3885
02:12:07,760 --> 02:12:08,500
is coming up tomorrow.

3886
02:12:08,840 --> 02:12:11,580
I'd like this $3.33.33 plus PayPal

3887
02:12:11,580 --> 02:12:13,300
fees donation to be in her name.

3888
02:12:13,720 --> 02:12:15,960
Libby donated on my behalf years ago.

3889
02:12:16,080 --> 02:12:17,680
I don't think either of us were deduced.

3890
02:12:17,820 --> 02:12:19,240
So we both need to be deduced.

3891
02:12:19,360 --> 02:12:19,900
We can do that.

3892
02:12:20,380 --> 02:12:22,280
Oops, I got a deduced.

3893
02:12:23,780 --> 02:12:25,480
You've been deduced.

3894
02:12:25,760 --> 02:12:27,960
So we'll say that's for Libby and this

3895
02:12:27,960 --> 02:12:29,100
one is for you.

3896
02:12:30,740 --> 02:12:32,440
You've been deduced.

3897
02:12:34,660 --> 02:12:36,100
The message to Libby.

3898
02:12:36,760 --> 02:12:37,500
Happy birthday.

3899
02:12:37,680 --> 02:12:38,920
And I want to thank you for all

3900
02:12:38,920 --> 02:12:40,220
your support over the years.

3901
02:12:40,220 --> 02:12:42,400
It is truly the glue that holds our

3902
02:12:42,400 --> 02:12:43,260
team together.

3903
02:12:43,460 --> 02:12:44,980
And I love you very much.

3904
02:12:45,020 --> 02:12:46,320
Message to John and Adam.

3905
02:12:46,800 --> 02:12:48,800
I'd also like to thank you guys for

3906
02:12:48,800 --> 02:12:50,620
your coverage and let you know that you

3907
02:12:50,620 --> 02:12:52,940
both really helped us stay sane throughout the

3908
02:12:52,940 --> 02:12:54,160
COVID craziness.

3909
02:12:54,400 --> 02:12:57,460
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs.

3910
02:12:57,640 --> 02:12:58,780
The people that came in.

3911
02:12:58,900 --> 02:13:00,140
They're eating the cats.

3912
02:13:00,360 --> 02:13:03,360
They're eating- They're eating the pets.

3913
02:13:08,300 --> 02:13:09,340
Still funny.

3914
02:13:10,220 --> 02:13:12,840
Still the winning quote for me for the

3915
02:13:12,840 --> 02:13:13,220
election.

3916
02:13:13,700 --> 02:13:14,920
That was the landslide quote.

3917
02:13:15,160 --> 02:13:15,980
The landslide quote.

3918
02:13:16,660 --> 02:13:18,700
People don't appreciate it for what it is.

3919
02:13:20,140 --> 02:13:23,540
Abel Dos Santos in Luanda.

3920
02:13:24,380 --> 02:13:26,100
Oh, Africa.

3921
02:13:26,260 --> 02:13:27,060
Africa news.

3922
02:13:27,220 --> 02:13:28,040
Africa donation.

3923
02:13:28,420 --> 02:13:29,940
This does not- What is that?

3924
02:13:30,140 --> 02:13:30,380
Congo.

3925
02:13:30,900 --> 02:13:31,760
Angola is from Angola.

3926
02:13:31,760 --> 02:13:32,220
Angola.

3927
02:13:32,320 --> 02:13:32,720
Angola.

3928
02:13:32,960 --> 02:13:33,380
That's right.

3929
02:13:33,500 --> 02:13:34,640
Oh, that's pretty cool.

3930
02:13:34,740 --> 02:13:35,420
Well, that's nice.

3931
02:13:35,500 --> 02:13:37,560
We got a Luanda, Angola donation.

3932
02:13:39,040 --> 02:13:42,780

3933

Universe, too, by the way.

02:13:46,180 --> 02:13:49,240
Really appreciated searching or reaching out.

3936
02:13:49,260 --> 02:13:49,580
I'm sorry.

3937
02:13:49,620 --> 02:13:52,480
Reaching out from Luanda, Angola, Africa.

3938
02:13:53,040 --> 02:13:53,600

02:13:54,060 --> 02:13:54,780
Send pictures.

3940
02:13:55,300 --> 02:13:56,340
What's your rig?

3941
02:13:56,500 --> 02:13:58,000
I want to see your rig down there.

3942
02:13:58,920 --> 02:14:01,380
Hey, Commodore G checks in from Cincinnati, Ohio

3944
02:14:04,560 --> 02:14:06,820
Glad to be a producer on the Zelensky

3945
02:14:06,820 --> 02:14:08,260
Smackdown episode.

3946
02:14:08,720 --> 02:14:10,700
Commodore Indy the White Shepherd says hello as

3947
02:14:10,700 --> 02:14:10,960

3952
02:14:23,350 --> 02:14:23,750
and Adam.

3953
02:14:24,570 --> 02:14:26,570
I, Ryan M.

3954
02:14:26,590 --> 02:14:29,430
of the Lower Hudson Valley, have finally arrived

3955
02:14:29,430 --> 02:14:31,370
at the round table with a third payment

3956
02:14:31,370 --> 02:14:33,990
of $343.33. I wish to be knighted

3957
02:14:33,990 --> 02:14:37,290
as Sir Weegee the Famous.

3958
02:14:37,610 --> 02:14:39,390
Sir Weegee the Famous.

3959
02:14:40,030 --> 02:14:43,490
Please have two tubes of both the salt

3960
02:14:43,490 --> 02:14:46,330
and pepper mix of both, which is the

3961
02:14:46,330 --> 02:14:51,050
name of the product, both the salt and

3962
02:14:51,050 --> 02:14:53,170
pepper mix available for me at the round

3963
02:14:53,170 --> 02:14:53,510

3964
02:14:54,170 --> 02:14:57,550
Both is a hilarious, simple, and equally tasty.

3965
02:14:57,610 --> 02:14:58,570
It's good on French fries.

3966
02:14:59,090 --> 02:15:01,210
Tasty because it's a very fine grind of

3967
02:15:01,210 --> 02:15:01,570
salt.

3968
02:15:01,570 --> 02:15:02,090
Yes.

3969
02:15:02,630 --> 02:15:05,030
A tasty product that I have recently launched.

3970
02:15:05,670 --> 02:15:06,570
Ah, he's our guy.

3971
02:15:06,610 --> 02:15:07,230
He's our guy.

3972
02:15:07,270 --> 02:15:08,150
He's the both guy.

3973
02:15:08,770 --> 02:15:10,810
It's the salt and he's the both guy.

3974
02:15:11,350 --> 02:15:13,050
It's the salt and pepper mix with two

3975
02:15:13,050 --> 02:15:13,470
options.

3976
02:15:13,590 --> 02:15:14,890
One is more salt, less pepper.

3977
02:15:14,970 --> 02:15:16,390
The other is more pepper, less salt.

3978
02:15:16,510 --> 02:15:16,670
Okay.

3979
02:15:17,170 --> 02:15:19,870
Each of them at what we have thoroughly

3980
02:15:19,870 --> 02:15:23,230
determined to be the perfect ratio for which,

3981
02:15:24,290 --> 02:15:27,610
for whichever direction your taste buds lean.

3982
02:15:27,610 --> 02:15:32,250
Both can easily be purchased at useboth.com.

3983
02:15:33,130 --> 02:15:34,410
Useboth.com.

3984
02:15:35,010 --> 02:15:38,170
And our humorous content can be seen on

3985
02:15:38,170 --> 02:15:41,510
Instagram at use underlying both.

3986
02:15:41,750 --> 02:15:42,250
Use both.

3987
02:15:42,610 --> 02:15:45,690
Please play Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, and one goat

3988
02:15:45,690 --> 02:15:46,090
scream.

3989
02:15:47,770 --> 02:15:51,210
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

3990
02:15:51,310 --> 02:15:52,850
Let's vote for jobs.

3991
02:15:56,240 --> 02:15:56,680
Yeah.

3992
02:15:56,840 --> 02:16:02,900
Did you receive a package of like these

3993
02:16:02,900 --> 02:16:06,220
CBD THC pills?

3994
02:16:07,140 --> 02:16:07,300
No.

3995
02:16:07,520 --> 02:16:10,020
An outfit called, I think it's 1060 or

3996
02:16:10,020 --> 02:16:10,680
1090.

3997
02:16:11,320 --> 02:16:13,840
No, I did get, I did get my

3998
02:16:13,840 --> 02:16:15,600
first Ohio state hoodie though.

3999
02:16:15,600 --> 02:16:17,180
And I will be thanking everyone who sent

4000
02:16:17,180 --> 02:16:17,460
these.

4001
02:16:17,540 --> 02:16:18,200
Oh, that's nice.

4002
02:16:18,580 --> 02:16:19,180
No, I can't.

4003
02:16:19,200 --> 02:16:20,360
I don't know who this is.

4004
02:16:20,360 --> 02:16:23,720
And they sent us, they've got, it comes

4005
02:16:23,720 --> 02:16:26,140
in a bag that says definitely not drugs,

4006
02:16:26,240 --> 02:16:27,080
which is pretty funny.

4007
02:16:27,860 --> 02:16:29,040
I don't know who sent it.

4008
02:16:29,920 --> 02:16:30,760
I think it's 1060.

4009
02:16:30,760 --> 02:16:31,900
Well, I get some, okay.

4010
02:16:32,000 --> 02:16:33,400
I have a similar situation.

4011
02:16:34,400 --> 02:16:36,980
I had three, I can't remember the brand

4012
02:16:36,980 --> 02:16:38,260
name, Real Pepper or something.

4013
02:16:38,400 --> 02:16:41,400
There's these hot sauces, three different hot sauces

4014
02:16:41,400 --> 02:16:42,820
somebody sent.

4015
02:16:43,040 --> 02:16:46,080
It was packaged well enough that the fact

4016
02:16:46,080 --> 02:16:48,100
of the matter is the three bottles of

4017
02:16:48,100 --> 02:16:51,680
hot sauce, tobacco size bottles, Tabasco size.

4018
02:16:51,799 --> 02:16:52,059
I'm sorry.

4019
02:16:52,139 --> 02:16:53,219
Tabasco size bottles.

4020
02:16:54,379 --> 02:16:55,240
And there were three of them.

4021
02:16:55,340 --> 02:16:56,139
There's a habanero.

4022
02:16:56,420 --> 02:16:58,379
There's another, there's a kind of a regular

4023
02:16:58,379 --> 02:16:58,680
one.

4024
02:16:58,740 --> 02:17:01,040
And then there was the ghost pepper one.

4025
02:17:02,040 --> 02:17:03,900
The ghost pepper one broke.

4026
02:17:04,200 --> 02:17:05,000
Oh no.

4027
02:17:05,360 --> 02:17:06,480
Split in half.

4028
02:17:06,559 --> 02:17:06,959
Oh no.

4029
02:17:07,480 --> 02:17:09,879
And coated the packing material.

4030
02:17:10,020 --> 02:17:11,760
It didn't leak out of the box, which

4031
02:17:11,760 --> 02:17:12,400
is surprising.

4032
02:17:12,680 --> 02:17:16,620
But the packing material was soaked in ghost

4033
02:17:16,620 --> 02:17:17,480
pepper goo.

4034
02:17:17,480 --> 02:17:18,840
I was just.

4035
02:17:19,680 --> 02:17:20,000
And.

4036
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:20,340
Go ahead.

4037
02:17:20,459 --> 02:17:22,500
So I had to rinse out the other

4038
02:17:22,500 --> 02:17:24,139
two bottles that were stained with the ghost

4039
02:17:24,139 --> 02:17:24,879
pepper goo too.

4040
02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:26,200
And I had to wash them off.

4041
02:17:26,280 --> 02:17:26,860
They were okay.

4042
02:17:27,000 --> 02:17:27,959
They came in intact.

4043
02:17:28,379 --> 02:17:31,440
The ghost pepper one, which was brand named

4044
02:17:31,440 --> 02:17:35,780
Oly, O-L-Y, Oly Ghost, it got

4045
02:17:35,780 --> 02:17:36,299
tossed.

4046
02:17:36,620 --> 02:17:37,040
That's funny.

4047
02:17:37,040 --> 02:17:39,500
And in this process of tossing it and

4048
02:17:39,500 --> 02:17:42,020
the packaging, it stunk up the house.

4049
02:17:42,580 --> 02:17:45,240
Which, the rather nice smell, by the way.

4050
02:17:45,240 --> 02:17:47,680
Ghost pepper aroma isn't that bad.

4051
02:17:48,320 --> 02:17:50,860
But it was like a very distressing for

4052
02:17:50,860 --> 02:17:51,100
me.

4053
02:17:51,240 --> 02:17:53,600
It's funny because last night we just watched

4054
02:17:53,600 --> 02:17:55,639
the Seinfeld episode where he has the hot

4055
02:17:55,639 --> 02:17:57,120
sauce that he has to bring back and

4056
02:17:57,120 --> 02:17:58,879
it gets crushed in the overhead bin on

4057
02:17:58,879 --> 02:18:00,860
the plane and it's all inside his suitcase.

4058
02:18:01,740 --> 02:18:02,200
Coincidence?

4059
02:18:02,219 --> 02:18:03,020
I don't remember that one.

4060
02:18:03,180 --> 02:18:03,639
Coincidence?

4061
02:18:03,920 --> 02:18:04,980
I think not.

4062
02:18:06,340 --> 02:18:10,520
Jeff Ria, Maricopa, Arizona, 333.33. First time

4063
02:18:10,520 --> 02:18:10,980
donation.

4064
02:18:11,360 --> 02:18:12,500
He doesn't ask for it, but I'm going

4065
02:18:12,500 --> 02:18:13,299
to deduce it.

4066
02:18:14,780 --> 02:18:16,639
You've been deduced.

4067
02:18:16,940 --> 02:18:19,340
He says, please play in order.

4068
02:18:19,740 --> 02:18:20,379
Don't be a dick.

4069
02:18:20,520 --> 02:18:21,980
Goat scream and you've got karma.

4070
02:18:22,180 --> 02:18:23,440
73 is Jeffrey Ria.

4071
02:18:23,680 --> 02:18:26,480
His call sign is alpha bravo for golf

4072
02:18:26,480 --> 02:18:27,100
tango.

4073
02:18:27,420 --> 02:18:31,080
73 is kilo five alpha Charlie Charlie.

4074
02:18:31,280 --> 02:18:32,020
Don't be a dick.

4075
02:18:34,889 --> 02:18:36,690
You've got karma.

4076
02:18:36,690 --> 02:18:41,950
A radar rider or at a radar rider

4077
02:18:41,950 --> 02:18:49,230
in Milton, Georgia, 333.33 TPP jobs.

4078
02:18:49,889 --> 02:18:50,530
Karma, please.

4079
02:18:51,330 --> 02:18:52,090
Which one's that?

4080
02:18:52,190 --> 02:18:52,870
I have it.

4081
02:18:53,410 --> 02:18:54,190
Oh, don't you?

4082
02:18:54,370 --> 02:18:55,430
This brings me the knighthood.

4083
02:18:55,809 --> 02:18:57,230
No, please knight me, sir.

4084
02:18:57,370 --> 02:18:58,570
Radar rider.

4085
02:18:58,990 --> 02:18:59,709
Radar rider.

4086
02:19:00,270 --> 02:19:01,809
Thank you for your courage.

4087
02:19:02,430 --> 02:19:04,110
Brisket and bacon.

4088
02:19:04,610 --> 02:19:05,650
Brisket and bacon.

4089
02:19:06,410 --> 02:19:06,830
Interesting.

4090
02:19:07,330 --> 02:19:08,709
At the round table, please.

4091
02:19:16,690 --> 02:19:20,110
Jeffrey Hodge is in Linfield, New South Wales,

4092
02:19:20,209 --> 02:19:23,969
Australia, 297.17. Now, do you think that

4093
02:19:23,969 --> 02:19:26,250
this is a 300 donation that got chopped

4094
02:19:26,250 --> 02:19:26,650
down?

4095
02:19:27,129 --> 02:19:29,530
Seems well, it would come in at the

4096
02:19:29,530 --> 02:19:30,410
rate that it was.

4097
02:19:30,410 --> 02:19:31,790
It's a spreadsheet.

4098
02:19:32,010 --> 02:19:33,090
This wasn't put on by hand.

4099
02:19:33,170 --> 02:19:35,930
So this would be 297 in American dollars.

4100
02:19:36,030 --> 02:19:38,629
So it was definitely three, probably 333 or

4101
02:19:38,629 --> 02:19:38,870
higher.

4102
02:19:39,110 --> 02:19:40,290
I'm gonna have to move him up then.

4103
02:19:40,650 --> 02:19:43,350
Yeah, 333 might have been $8,000 for

4104
02:19:43,350 --> 02:19:43,850
all I know.

4105
02:19:46,670 --> 02:19:48,690
And Jeffrey says, Sydney, Australia.

4106
02:19:49,170 --> 02:19:49,690
Thank you.

4107
02:19:50,030 --> 02:19:51,490
My wife, Jen, hit me in the mouth

4108
02:19:51,490 --> 02:19:53,390
in 2024 and got me listening to the

4109
02:19:53,390 --> 02:19:54,850
best podcast in the universe.

4110
02:19:54,930 --> 02:19:55,410
Good wife.

4111
02:19:55,970 --> 02:19:58,590
Thanks for bringing some normality and levity to

4112
02:19:58,590 --> 02:19:59,410
a crazy world.

4113
02:19:59,410 --> 02:20:00,690
Trump is good for the show.

4114
02:20:01,050 --> 02:20:02,850
There will be no shortage of fodder for

4115
02:20:02,850 --> 02:20:04,070
four more years.

4116
02:20:04,490 --> 02:20:05,730
This is our first donation.

4117
02:20:05,890 --> 02:20:07,870
So we need a double de-douching.

4118
02:20:09,510 --> 02:20:11,330
You've been de-douched.

4119
02:20:11,910 --> 02:20:13,710
And we'll do one more for the wife.

4120
02:20:15,290 --> 02:20:17,050
You've been de-douched.

4121
02:20:18,550 --> 02:20:21,310
And we request they're eating the hogs.

4122
02:20:21,650 --> 02:20:24,510
Well, I don't think we have that one.

4123
02:20:24,570 --> 02:20:26,170
We'll have to replace the H with the

4124
02:20:26,170 --> 02:20:26,430
D.

4125
02:20:26,830 --> 02:20:27,910
It never gets old.

4126
02:20:28,090 --> 02:20:29,030
Regards, Jeff.

4127
02:20:29,030 --> 02:20:30,530
They're eating the dogs.

4128
02:20:30,790 --> 02:20:31,310
There you go.

4129
02:20:31,490 --> 02:20:32,030
There you go.

4130
02:20:32,070 --> 02:20:33,110
They should be eating the hogs.

4131
02:20:34,330 --> 02:20:35,250
Yeah, it's good eating.

4132
02:20:35,590 --> 02:20:36,110
Dame Rita.

4133
02:20:36,690 --> 02:20:39,030
Hey, there's Dame Rita again in Sparks, Nevada.

4134
02:20:39,270 --> 02:20:40,690
She's been a regular recently.

4135
02:20:40,850 --> 02:20:42,970
222.22. A bunch of ducks there.

4136
02:20:43,910 --> 02:20:45,510
ITM, John and Adam, thank you for the

4137
02:20:45,510 --> 02:20:45,810
best.

4138
02:20:45,990 --> 02:20:46,430
Dame Rita.

4139
02:20:47,290 --> 02:20:48,430
Well, that's an easy one.

4140
02:20:49,750 --> 02:20:50,630
Matthew Martel.

4141
02:20:50,830 --> 02:20:51,370
I'm sorry.

4142
02:20:51,770 --> 02:20:53,830
Yes, Matthew Martel from Brumal, Pennsylvania.

4143
02:20:54,770 --> 02:20:57,950
210.60. He says, since you both love

4144
02:20:57,950 --> 02:21:01,070
content suggestions, here's a segment idea for you.

4145
02:21:01,170 --> 02:21:01,550
Take note.

4146
02:21:01,730 --> 02:21:02,330
Take notes, John.

4147
02:21:02,810 --> 02:21:03,910
I've got a pen.

4148
02:21:04,210 --> 02:21:04,690
John C.

4149
02:21:04,730 --> 02:21:06,670
Dvorak's Little Known Facts.

4150
02:21:07,030 --> 02:21:07,870
It's not a tip.

4151
02:21:08,270 --> 02:21:09,070

Hot pockets.

4158
02:21:26,670 --> 02:21:27,630
All right.

4159
02:21:27,790 --> 02:21:28,270
Geez.

4160
02:21:28,530 --> 02:21:32,190
Yeah, well, he's on board.

4161
02:21:32,390 --> 02:21:36,010
Along with Eli the coffee guy, who's on

4162
02:21:36,010 --> 02:21:38,510
the next name on the list in Bensonville,

4163
02:21:38,610 --> 02:21:38,850
Illinois.

4164
02:21:39,050 --> 02:21:42,310
203.02. And he has a longer note

4165
02:21:42,310 --> 02:21:45,130
saying, March 1st, I completed another trip around

4166
02:21:45,130 --> 02:21:45,590
the sun.

4167
02:21:45,690 --> 02:21:46,450
Oh, it's his birthday.

4168
02:21:47,490 --> 02:21:49,770
But my birthday present came a day early

4169
02:21:49,770 --> 02:21:51,410
in the form of a meeting at the

4170
02:21:51,410 --> 02:21:53,470
White House between Trump and Zelensky.

4171
02:21:54,210 --> 02:21:56,250
Politics is my sports ball.

4172
02:21:56,890 --> 02:21:59,790
And the game is finally entertaining to watch

4173
02:21:59,790 --> 02:22:00,170
again.

4174
02:22:00,610 --> 02:22:03,650
John, I think your newsletter analysis may be

4175
02:22:03,650 --> 02:22:04,190
correct.

4176
02:22:04,970 --> 02:22:06,550
Trump is out to stick it to the

4177
02:22:06,550 --> 02:22:07,070
Europeans.

4178
02:22:08,130 --> 02:22:11,370
Only time will tell how this plays out.

4179
02:22:11,630 --> 02:22:11,970
Jingles.

4180
02:22:12,090 --> 02:22:14,350
I'm going to come and F the EU

4181
02:22:14,350 --> 02:22:15,610
for all.

4182
02:22:15,910 --> 02:22:16,650
You know, there you go.

4183
02:22:16,730 --> 02:22:17,190
There you go.

4184
02:22:17,250 --> 02:22:18,210
For all the guests.

4185
02:22:18,370 --> 02:22:19,570
He's on board with that, too.

4186
02:22:19,690 --> 02:22:19,870
Yep.

says Eli the coffee guy.

4192
02:22:31,790 --> 02:22:32,530
I'm going to come.

Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.

4203
02:23:02,640 --> 02:23:04,240
Let's vote for jobs.

4204
02:23:05,760 --> 02:23:09,120
Yes, that wraps up our executive and associate

4205
02:23:09,120 --> 02:23:12,320
executive producers for episode 1743.

4206
02:23:13,060 --> 02:23:14,180
Thank you all very much.

4207
02:23:14,240 --> 02:23:16,640
We, of course, want to thank everyone who

4208
02:23:16,640 --> 02:23:18,580
came in $50 and above, which will mention

4209

our second donation segment.

4210
02:23:20,340 --> 02:23:22,420
Never under 50 for reasons of anonymity.

4211
02:23:22,420 --> 02:23:25,120
And remember, you can always put up a

4212
02:23:25,120 --> 02:23:27,160
put together a sustaining donation.

4213
02:23:27,320 --> 02:23:28,560

02:23:32,780 --> 02:23:32,880
you.

4217
02:23:32,980 --> 02:23:34,680
That's noagendadonations.com.

4218
02:23:34,800 --> 02:23:37,660
Again, congratulations to our executive and associate executive

4219
02:23:37,660 --> 02:23:38,100
producers.

4220
02:23:38,380 --> 02:23:39,700
Our formula is this.

4221
02:23:41,890 --> 02:23:43,010
We hit people in the mouth.

4222
02:23:50,370 --> 02:23:52,090
They're eating the dogs.

4223
02:23:56,130 --> 02:24:01,190
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah.

4224
02:24:01,270 --> 02:24:02,790
I have a side note clip.

4225
02:24:02,850 --> 02:24:05,490
I want to play side note about about

4226
02:24:05,490 --> 02:24:09,470
Joanne's House of Fabric that's closed.

4227
02:24:10,290 --> 02:24:11,730
Joanne's gone bankrupt.

4228
02:24:11,970 --> 02:24:13,990
I've never even heard of Joanne's House of

4229
02:24:13,990 --> 02:24:14,410
Fabric.

4230
02:24:14,570 --> 02:24:17,350
What is Joanne's is a massive chain of

4231
02:24:17,350 --> 02:24:18,070
fabric stores.

4232
02:24:18,070 --> 02:24:19,910
If you were a girl or a woman

4233
02:24:19,910 --> 02:24:23,050
older, because it turns out that and I

4234
02:24:23,050 --> 02:24:26,310
find this to be a depressing report because

4235
02:24:26,310 --> 02:24:28,470
it discusses the fact that nobody knows how

4236
02:24:28,470 --> 02:24:29,310
to sew anymore.

4237
02:24:29,490 --> 02:24:30,170
I can sew.

4238
02:24:30,330 --> 02:24:30,910
I can sew.

4239
02:24:31,250 --> 02:24:33,090
I can use a sewing machine.

4240
02:24:33,630 --> 02:24:36,670
I know how to wind the spindle on

4241
02:24:36,670 --> 02:24:37,090
the spool.

4242
02:24:37,630 --> 02:24:38,550
Of course you do.

4243
02:24:38,670 --> 02:24:39,870
I used to love it because that was

4244
02:24:39,870 --> 02:24:42,310
when I get to play accelerator pedal.

4245
02:24:42,790 --> 02:24:43,870
My mom taught me how to do it.

4246
02:24:43,950 --> 02:24:46,130
You know, when you're putting on the spool.

4247
02:24:47,490 --> 02:24:48,310
That was fun.

4248
02:24:48,450 --> 02:24:49,970
So that's over now, huh?

4249
02:24:50,030 --> 02:24:52,230
Do people even buy sewing machines anymore?

4250
02:24:52,230 --> 02:24:54,570
We have a family of people.

4251
02:24:54,710 --> 02:24:57,390
Everybody in this family has one of these

4252
02:24:57,390 --> 02:25:01,490
of the old Singer slant needle, which is

4253
02:25:01,490 --> 02:25:03,990
a classic sewing machine that has that's very

4254
02:25:03,990 --> 02:25:04,690
easy to use.

4255
02:25:04,750 --> 02:25:06,310
And they're one of the greatest all mechanical.

4256
02:25:06,510 --> 02:25:06,870
There's no.

4257
02:25:07,270 --> 02:25:08,170
So it's one.

4258
02:25:08,490 --> 02:25:09,650
It's got gears.

4259
02:25:09,810 --> 02:25:10,890
It's old fashioned.

4260
02:25:11,090 --> 02:25:11,450
By the way.

4261
02:25:11,510 --> 02:25:11,990
Thank you.

4262
02:25:12,250 --> 02:25:12,650
Untoward.

4263
02:25:12,710 --> 02:25:12,830
Yes.

4264
02:25:12,910 --> 02:25:13,430
The bobbin.

4265
02:25:13,510 --> 02:25:13,890
I'm sorry.

4266
02:25:14,110 --> 02:25:14,850
This is the bobbin.

4267
02:25:15,070 --> 02:25:15,610
The bobbin, right?

4268
02:25:15,710 --> 02:25:16,850
I wish I should have caught that.

4269
02:25:16,850 --> 02:25:17,350
You should have.

4270
02:25:17,450 --> 02:25:18,310
Yes, you should have.

4271
02:25:18,410 --> 02:25:18,990
Well, my.

4272
02:25:19,190 --> 02:25:20,550
Yeah, I dropped the ball.

4273
02:25:20,550 --> 02:25:20,790
Yeah.

4274
02:25:22,150 --> 02:25:23,090
Play this clip.

4275
02:25:23,250 --> 02:25:25,090
This is talks about the store closures.

4276
02:25:25,390 --> 02:25:27,050
If you love to sew or do other

4277
02:25:27,050 --> 02:25:29,430
projects with fabric, you might have already headed

4278
02:25:29,430 --> 02:25:31,310
to your local Joanne's store to pick through

4279
02:25:31,310 --> 02:25:31,990
what's left.

4280
02:25:32,650 --> 02:25:34,450
Joanne's for the non crafty used to be

4281
02:25:34,450 --> 02:25:36,830
the country's biggest fabric retailer, but it went

4282
02:25:36,830 --> 02:25:37,270
bankrupt.

4283
02:25:37,710 --> 02:25:40,050
And this week it started closing some 800

4284
02:25:40,050 --> 02:25:40,750
stores.

4285
02:25:41,370 --> 02:25:43,110
I've been to a couple of the stores

4286
02:25:43,110 --> 02:25:45,110
and I walk out and I cry.

4287
02:25:45,450 --> 02:25:48,410
Ingrid Crapo is a professional maker of things

4288
02:25:48,410 --> 02:25:48,950
with fabric.

4289
02:25:48,950 --> 02:25:50,710
I have 10 sewing machines.

4290
02:25:51,130 --> 02:25:53,830
I've done everything from uniforms for the University

4291
02:25:53,830 --> 02:25:56,950
of Maryland to mascots for all of the

4292
02:25:56,950 --> 02:25:59,690
sports teams in D.C. Crapo says she

4293
02:25:59,690 --> 02:26:01,890
will miss a well stocked fabric store.

4294
02:26:02,350 --> 02:26:04,170
She says the craft stores closest to her

4295
02:26:04,170 --> 02:26:06,010
don't have much of a selection and she

4296
02:26:06,010 --> 02:26:08,730
calls online shopping for fabric a nightmare.

4297
02:26:09,130 --> 02:26:11,390
But you didn't know, Michelle, that Joanne Fabrics

4298
02:26:11,390 --> 02:26:13,790
started out as, of all things, a cheese

4299
02:26:13,790 --> 02:26:15,790
shop in Cleveland during World War Two.

4300
02:26:15,790 --> 02:26:19,050
German immigrants Hilda and Bertolt Reich sold cheese

4301
02:26:19,050 --> 02:26:20,890
and fabric in a little store they ran

4302
02:26:20,890 --> 02:26:23,830
along with their friends Sigmund and Matilda Rohrbach.

4303
02:26:24,210 --> 02:26:25,030
I did not know that.

4304
02:26:25,470 --> 02:26:26,070
And you know what?

4305
02:26:26,130 --> 02:26:27,490
None of them was named Joanne.

4306
02:26:27,690 --> 02:26:30,170
No, but the store was named after their

4307
02:26:30,170 --> 02:26:33,010
daughters, Joanne and Jacqueline Ann, and it sold

4308
02:26:33,010 --> 02:26:34,490
more fabric than cheese.

4309
02:26:34,870 --> 02:26:37,050
And back then, making your own clothes was

4310
02:26:37,050 --> 02:26:39,170
often cheaper than buying off the rack.

4311
02:26:39,790 --> 02:26:41,410
Sewing is a lost art in America.

4312
02:26:41,670 --> 02:26:44,070
Mike Edwards, vice president at Joanne's in the

4313
02:26:44,070 --> 02:26:44,930
early 2000s.

4314
02:26:45,370 --> 02:26:46,990
That's the only reason they give?

4315
02:26:47,130 --> 02:26:48,910
Is sewing is a lost art in America?

4316
02:26:49,650 --> 02:26:51,070
I think that is the reason.

4317
02:26:51,890 --> 02:26:52,410
It's not.

4318
02:26:52,670 --> 02:26:53,430
Nobody knows how.

4319
02:26:53,510 --> 02:26:55,750
They don't teach it in school anymore.

4320
02:26:55,750 --> 02:26:58,150
They used to teach it in high schools.

4321
02:26:58,210 --> 02:26:59,650
They used to have auto shop in high

4322
02:26:59,650 --> 02:26:59,910
school.

4323
02:26:59,970 --> 02:27:01,790
They used to have wood shop in high

4324
02:27:01,790 --> 02:27:02,030
school.

4325
02:27:02,070 --> 02:27:04,030
They used to have metal shop in high

4326
02:27:04,030 --> 02:27:04,210
school.

4327
02:27:04,290 --> 02:27:05,690
They used to have, they used to teach

4328
02:27:05,690 --> 02:27:06,890
sewing in high school.

4329
02:27:06,970 --> 02:27:08,810
They used to teach cooking in high school.

4330
02:27:08,910 --> 02:27:10,650
Now they teach gender studies.

4331
02:27:10,650 --> 02:27:15,850
When I was a kid in Holland, they

4332
02:27:15,850 --> 02:27:21,210
taught us Pinnaken, Pinnaken, Pinnaken, and Pinnaken, you

4333
02:27:21,210 --> 02:27:24,590
had a mushroom, and so it was like

4334
02:27:24,590 --> 02:27:28,130
a wooden mushroom with a hollowed out core,

4335
02:27:28,410 --> 02:27:30,710
so like the mushroom stem would fit in

4336
02:27:30,710 --> 02:27:33,390
your hand, it was kind of lewd now

4337
02:27:33,390 --> 02:27:34,930
that I think about it, and you had

4338
02:27:34,930 --> 02:27:37,310
the mushroom head, and the mushroom head had

4339
02:27:37,310 --> 02:27:40,310
I think eight or maybe ten nails in

4340
02:27:40,310 --> 02:27:43,010
it, and you would use a crocheting needle,

4341
02:27:43,710 --> 02:27:47,110
and you would route the yarn around one

4342
02:27:47,110 --> 02:27:49,230
of the nails, and then pull it down

4343
02:27:49,230 --> 02:27:50,630
the bottom, put it back up, and pull

4344
02:27:50,630 --> 02:27:51,930
it down the bottom, so that you got

4345
02:27:51,930 --> 02:27:54,730
a long trail of, you know, of something

4346
02:27:54,730 --> 02:27:57,890
you Pinnaked, I'm sure some Dutch people are

4347
02:27:57,890 --> 02:28:00,910
going, wow, that he remembers that, Pinnaken, so

4348
02:28:00,910 --> 02:28:02,770
they taught us that, even the boys, even

4349
02:28:02,770 --> 02:28:06,490
the boys did the mushroom thing, it was

4350
02:28:06,490 --> 02:28:07,910
quite normal back in the day.

4351
02:28:07,910 --> 02:28:09,170
They don't teach anything like that, they don't

4352
02:28:09,170 --> 02:28:12,710
even show kids how to balance a checkbook,

4353
02:28:12,790 --> 02:28:14,150
oh, you don't need a checkbook, use a

4354
02:28:14,150 --> 02:28:14,610
credit card.

4355
02:28:14,650 --> 02:28:15,410
It's got Venmo.

4356
02:28:15,730 --> 02:28:17,870
They can't even add and subtract, I mean,

4357
02:28:17,930 --> 02:28:20,750
it's unbelievable what's happened to the education system.

4358
02:28:20,890 --> 02:28:24,190
Who needs a checkbook when you've got Venmo,

4359
02:28:24,890 --> 02:28:28,250
or Cash App, don't need it, you don't

4360
02:28:28,250 --> 02:28:29,970
need it, everything's going to the phone, in

4361
02:28:29,970 --> 02:28:32,810
fact, I have, I thought I had a,

4362
02:28:33,010 --> 02:28:35,070
yes, in Ohio, in Ohio they really want

4363
02:28:35,070 --> 02:28:36,670
everything on the phone, all your ID.

4364
02:28:36,670 --> 02:28:39,270
Representative Thomas Hall is one of the sponsors

4365
02:28:39,270 --> 02:28:41,690
of bipartisan House Bill 78.

4366
02:28:42,190 --> 02:28:44,250
The bill would allow Ohioans to use a

4367
02:28:44,250 --> 02:28:47,130
valid digital ID instead of a physical ID

4368
02:28:47,130 --> 02:28:50,050
card in almost any case, except voting.

4369
02:28:50,290 --> 02:28:51,850
We want to make sure that the infrastructure

4370
02:28:51,850 --> 02:28:54,850
is ready for that and secure for that

4371
02:28:54,850 --> 02:28:56,790
when we get to that day to allow

4372
02:28:56,790 --> 02:28:58,710
for digital IDs for voting, whether that's in

4373
02:28:58,710 --> 02:29:00,650
our lifetimes or the lifetimes after us.

4374
02:29:00,850 --> 02:29:02,630
Under this bill, you'd be able to use

4375
02:29:02,630 --> 02:29:04,870
a digital ID when you get pulled over

4376
02:29:04,870 --> 02:29:07,710
for any BMV purposes and at more local

4377
02:29:07,710 --> 02:29:08,330
businesses.

4378
02:29:08,650 --> 02:29:10,250
Yeah, moving towards the digital ID.

4379
02:29:10,430 --> 02:29:11,650
You know, now that I think about it,

4380
02:29:12,210 --> 02:29:17,050
my mom used to have patterns and she'd

4381
02:29:17,050 --> 02:29:20,590
put the paper patterns on the fabric and

4382
02:29:20,590 --> 02:29:23,110
then, and we always loved using that roller

4383
02:29:23,110 --> 02:29:25,990
with all the little teeth on it, so

4384
02:29:25,990 --> 02:29:27,910
you roll it along the pattern so then

4385
02:29:27,910 --> 02:29:29,590
it leaves the kind of the marks in

4386
02:29:29,590 --> 02:29:31,050
the fabric so you know where to cut.

4387
02:29:31,750 --> 02:29:34,230
And I remember the glorious day when my

4388
02:29:34,230 --> 02:29:35,970
mom wasn't home and I got her roll,

4389
02:29:35,990 --> 02:29:36,830
what does that thing called?

4390
02:29:36,970 --> 02:29:37,350
The roller?

4391
02:29:37,570 --> 02:29:38,150
The pattern?

4392
02:29:38,410 --> 02:29:39,010
Pattern roller?

4393
02:29:39,190 --> 02:29:39,670
Yeah, I don't know.

4394
02:29:41,250 --> 02:29:42,970
And right after I got out of college,

4395
02:29:43,010 --> 02:29:45,170
I had a girlfriend who was a fashion

4396
02:29:45,170 --> 02:29:49,030
designer and she actually made patterns and there's

4397
02:29:49,030 --> 02:29:51,310
also these famous pattern makers who do all

4398
02:29:51,310 --> 02:29:51,570
of them.

4399
02:29:51,950 --> 02:29:54,330
And I had a pattern made for shirts

4400
02:29:54,330 --> 02:29:57,330
for me and you could take these pile

4401
02:29:57,330 --> 02:29:58,650
of patterns and you take them to some

4402
02:29:58,650 --> 02:30:00,230
seamstress or somebody that knew what they were

4403
02:30:00,230 --> 02:30:02,010
doing and they'd make you a custom shirt

4404
02:30:02,010 --> 02:30:03,010
right off the spot.

4405
02:30:03,380 --> 02:30:05,850
I mean, these kinds of lost art.

4406
02:30:05,930 --> 02:30:07,390
Hey, all right, boomer.

4407
02:30:08,050 --> 02:30:09,230
That's about right.

4408
02:30:09,490 --> 02:30:10,550
It's like pathetic.

4409
02:30:11,390 --> 02:30:14,350
So the day that was very sad is

4410
02:30:14,350 --> 02:30:16,330
when I decided to use the roller all

4411
02:30:16,330 --> 02:30:18,610
over the Cherrywood coffee table.

4412
02:30:20,550 --> 02:30:23,450
I remember my mom, I didn't know if

4413
02:30:23,450 --> 02:30:23,890
she wanted to.

4414
02:30:23,990 --> 02:30:25,670
Well, there's the drawback to all of this.

4415
02:30:25,670 --> 02:30:27,410
I didn't know if she wanted to beat

4416
02:30:27,410 --> 02:30:27,770
me.

4417
02:30:28,370 --> 02:30:31,530
I remember a very sad, sad moment.

4418
02:30:31,530 --> 02:30:33,290
Where I'm running up and down your arm.

4419
02:30:33,830 --> 02:30:34,990
Very, very sad.

4420
02:30:35,070 --> 02:30:35,990
Look on her face.

4421
02:30:36,670 --> 02:30:37,550
Sorry, mom.

4422
02:30:37,790 --> 02:30:39,230
I forgot about that.

4423
02:30:40,090 --> 02:30:40,990
Oh, brother.

4424
02:30:42,070 --> 02:30:43,810
A little update on Gene Hackman.

4425
02:30:43,910 --> 02:30:45,830
The story gets crazier by the moment.

4426
02:30:45,910 --> 02:30:46,790
We started with Gene.

4427
02:30:46,850 --> 02:30:48,150
We might as well end with Gene.

4428
02:30:48,290 --> 02:30:50,510
Here at home, authorities say data from actor

4429
02:30:50,510 --> 02:30:53,690
Gene Hackman's pacemaker shows he was likely dead

4430
02:30:53,690 --> 02:30:56,350
for nine days before the bodies of he

4431
02:30:56,350 --> 02:30:58,250
and his wife were found at their New

4432
02:30:58,250 --> 02:30:59,170
Mexico home.

4433
02:30:59,530 --> 02:31:02,290
Santa Fe County Sheriff says the pacemaker shows

4434
02:31:02,290 --> 02:31:06,930
Hackman's last event was recorded February 17th.

4435
02:31:06,990 --> 02:31:09,830
Hackman and his wife Betsy, along with their

4436
02:31:09,830 --> 02:31:12,810
dog, were found dead this week in circumstances

4437
02:31:12,810 --> 02:31:17,170
officials deemed suspicious enough to warrant a thorough

4438
02:31:17,170 --> 02:31:18,130
investigation.

4439
02:31:18,570 --> 02:31:20,510
The cause of death remains unknown.

4440
02:31:21,110 --> 02:31:23,590
The pair did not show any external trauma

4441
02:31:23,590 --> 02:31:25,950
and there were no immediate signs of foul

4442
02:31:25,950 --> 02:31:26,330
play.

4443
02:31:26,870 --> 02:31:29,830
The pair is also testing negative for carbon

4444
02:31:29,830 --> 02:31:33,270
monoxide, likely ruling that out as a cause

4445
02:31:33,270 --> 02:31:33,930
of death.

4446
02:31:34,050 --> 02:31:36,690
Can you actually test for carbon monoxide posthumously?

4447
02:31:36,690 --> 02:31:37,770
In the blood, you can.

4448
02:31:37,890 --> 02:31:37,990
The blood.

4449
02:31:37,990 --> 02:31:38,530
Oh, you can?

4450
02:31:38,710 --> 02:31:39,050
Okay.

4451
02:31:39,330 --> 02:31:40,410
Yeah, because that's what it does.

4452
02:31:40,490 --> 02:31:42,790
I mean, it's just a blood disorder, actually.

4453
02:31:42,970 --> 02:31:44,330
But because it gets in the blood, you

4454
02:31:44,330 --> 02:31:46,070
know, it doesn't let the blood work.

4455
02:31:46,070 --> 02:31:46,630
What do you think?

4456
02:31:46,690 --> 02:31:47,750
What do you think happened here?

4457
02:31:48,170 --> 02:31:49,690
Mimi has the best theory.

4458
02:31:49,910 --> 02:31:51,790
Ah, can always count on Mimi.

4459
02:31:51,870 --> 02:31:53,350
If you got too many eggs or a

4460
02:31:53,350 --> 02:31:55,050
dead actor, Mimi's your gal.

4461
02:31:55,050 --> 02:31:56,530
Yeah, with the number of people and everyone

4462
02:31:56,530 --> 02:31:59,090
I tell it to, they go, oh, makes

4463
02:31:59,090 --> 02:31:59,910
nothing but sense.

4464
02:32:00,150 --> 02:32:00,750
Here's what happened.

4465
02:32:00,790 --> 02:32:01,430
It's Epstein.

4466
02:32:02,690 --> 02:32:02,990
Jep.

4467
02:32:03,210 --> 02:32:03,450
No.

4468
02:32:03,950 --> 02:32:07,250
So, so Hackman fell, had a fall or

4469
02:32:07,250 --> 02:32:08,990
something, or he had a heart attack, he

4470
02:32:08,990 --> 02:32:10,510
had some, he had an issue.

4471
02:32:10,670 --> 02:32:11,970
He fell and died.

4472
02:32:12,630 --> 02:32:12,890
Yeah.

4473
02:32:13,470 --> 02:32:15,650
The wife saw this and she didn't know,

4474
02:32:15,750 --> 02:32:17,830
couldn't revive him and she was freaked out.

4475
02:32:17,830 --> 02:32:20,450
And so she decided to take some, some

4476
02:32:20,450 --> 02:32:22,630
sedatives to calm herself down.

4477
02:32:23,190 --> 02:32:26,810
Took too many, passed out, dropped a bottle

4478
02:32:26,810 --> 02:32:27,990
of pills on the floor.

4479
02:32:28,190 --> 02:32:31,970
The dog ate the pills and it died

4480
02:32:33,800 --> 02:32:36,880
because there were pills all over the floor

4481
02:32:36,880 --> 02:32:38,280
and there was a dog in the house

4482
02:32:38,280 --> 02:32:41,320
and dogs eat crap off the floor.

4483
02:32:42,320 --> 02:32:43,600
So the, yes they do.

4484
02:32:43,920 --> 02:32:45,720
So the first thing you do if you

4485
02:32:45,720 --> 02:32:48,200
find your 95 year old husband dead is

4486
02:32:48,200 --> 02:32:49,320
grab the pill bottle.

4487
02:32:50,000 --> 02:32:52,760
Well, she was probably just enamored with this

4488
02:32:52,760 --> 02:32:52,940
guy.

4489
02:32:53,020 --> 02:32:54,080
She was, didn't know what to do.

4490
02:32:54,100 --> 02:32:56,080
So she went to calm herself down and

4491
02:32:56,080 --> 02:32:58,500
she took some, you know, who knows why,

4492
02:32:58,580 --> 02:33:00,900
but she took some pills and, or maybe

4493
02:33:00,900 --> 02:33:03,300
she said, I can't go on without him.

4494
02:33:03,340 --> 02:33:04,300
And maybe she killed herself.

4495
02:33:04,420 --> 02:33:05,160
That's possible too.

4496
02:33:05,960 --> 02:33:06,700
She was young.

4497
02:33:06,920 --> 02:33:08,900
Well, whatever the case was, the pills fell

4498
02:33:08,900 --> 02:33:10,320
to the ground and that's what just counted

4499
02:33:10,320 --> 02:33:12,360
for the dead dog because the other two

4500
02:33:12,360 --> 02:33:13,600
dogs were alive outside.

4501
02:33:14,100 --> 02:33:14,380
Hmm.

4502
02:33:16,140 --> 02:33:19,260
Well, that's, I mean, I don't see how

4503
02:33:19,260 --> 02:33:22,180
they can say it's a suspicious circumstances, but

4504
02:33:22,780 --> 02:33:24,680
well, there's three dead things.

4505
02:33:24,880 --> 02:33:27,300
And what's this three, what's this?

4506
02:33:27,520 --> 02:33:28,280
Three dead things.

4507
02:33:28,460 --> 02:33:29,240
What's this?

4508
02:33:29,740 --> 02:33:32,380
Yeah, well, it's a, it's a tragedy.

4509
02:33:32,800 --> 02:33:34,640
I'd like your input on this.

4510
02:33:35,340 --> 02:33:38,280
This is the Bezos change to the opinion

4511
02:33:38,280 --> 02:33:39,780
page on Washington Post.

4512
02:33:39,780 --> 02:33:43,020
Jeff Bezos wants to change things at the

4513
02:33:43,020 --> 02:33:45,120
Washington Post's opinion section.

4514
02:33:45,820 --> 02:33:48,040
He would like opinion writers to narrow in

4515
02:33:48,040 --> 02:33:50,920
on two things, personal liberties and free markets.

4516
02:33:51,080 --> 02:33:53,240
He said that they will cover other things,

4517
02:33:53,560 --> 02:33:57,040
but opposing viewpoints to those two positions specifically

4518
02:33:57,040 --> 02:33:58,740
would be published at other outlets.

4519
02:33:59,260 --> 02:34:01,420
It's yet another major change at the paper,

4520
02:34:01,880 --> 02:34:04,480
David Shipley, the editor of the Post's opinion

4521
02:34:04,480 --> 02:34:08,000
section stepping down rather than leading Bezos's new

4522
02:34:08,000 --> 02:34:08,440
direction.

4523
02:34:08,440 --> 02:34:11,420
So question one and two, question one is

4524
02:34:11,420 --> 02:34:12,960
why do you think he made the change?

4525
02:34:13,020 --> 02:34:14,600
And question two is why is everyone so

4526
02:34:14,600 --> 02:34:15,540
upset about it?

4527
02:34:16,220 --> 02:34:17,980
Well, first of all, we played this clip

4528
02:34:17,980 --> 02:34:18,860
in the last show.

4529
02:34:19,780 --> 02:34:21,560
Well then tell me, I don't, I don't

4530
02:34:21,560 --> 02:34:22,240
remember it.

4531
02:34:22,640 --> 02:34:23,340
Oh boy.

4532
02:34:27,120 --> 02:34:28,180
It's just beginning.

4533
02:34:28,180 --> 02:34:29,460
This is how it starts, yeah.

4534
02:34:32,380 --> 02:34:34,440
I think he's sick of the, of the,

4535
02:34:34,500 --> 02:34:37,120
of the orientation of the, of the, without

4536
02:34:37,120 --> 02:34:40,020
saying let's do more stuff that's pro-business

4537
02:34:40,020 --> 02:34:41,880
or, you know, pro or this compete with

4538
02:34:41,880 --> 02:34:43,320
the Wall Street Journal, let's be a little

4539
02:34:43,320 --> 02:34:43,860
more neutral.

4540
02:34:44,380 --> 02:34:46,860
He decided to take it this tact, it's

4541
02:34:46,860 --> 02:34:49,140
a tact, but what it really amounts to

4542
02:34:49,140 --> 02:34:51,100
is you guys are doing a crappy job.

4543
02:34:51,220 --> 02:34:54,900
It's very lopsided pro-Democrat reporting in an

4544
02:34:54,900 --> 02:34:57,580
environment that the general public, as you can

4545
02:34:57,580 --> 02:34:59,360
tell by the election, doesn't want.

4546
02:34:59,680 --> 02:35:02,200
We don't, and they're not gonna approach it,

4547
02:35:02,220 --> 02:35:04,740
the people, they're already, you guys already screwed

4548
02:35:04,740 --> 02:35:08,040
us over by, because of the not endorsing

4549
02:35:08,040 --> 02:35:10,160
Kamala Harris, and they're saying we're not really

4550
02:35:10,160 --> 02:35:12,360
gonna endorse her, even though I own the

4551
02:35:12,360 --> 02:35:14,960
place, and I say no, and it's usually

4552
02:35:14,960 --> 02:35:17,040
generally speaking in the history of newspapers, it's

4553
02:35:17,040 --> 02:35:18,940
always the owner who makes these decisions about

4554
02:35:18,940 --> 02:35:20,320
who gets endorsed.

4555
02:35:20,880 --> 02:35:22,320
So he says no, and then they have

4556
02:35:22,320 --> 02:35:23,980
a bunch of people walking off, and then

4557
02:35:23,980 --> 02:35:25,400
they have a whole bunch of people quitting

4558
02:35:25,400 --> 02:35:27,780
their subscriptions, that you look at that, you

4559
02:35:27,780 --> 02:35:29,380
say, no, no, this is not, we don't

4560
02:35:29,380 --> 02:35:32,000
want this kind of delicacy where you have

4561
02:35:32,000 --> 02:35:34,140
to be walking on pins and needles in

4562
02:35:34,140 --> 02:35:34,740
favor of something.

4563
02:35:34,840 --> 02:35:36,980
I'm gonna get a real audience that appreciates

4564
02:35:36,980 --> 02:35:38,440
the paper for what we do, so we're

4565
02:35:38,440 --> 02:35:40,300
gonna change our orientation.

4566
02:35:40,460 --> 02:35:41,400
That's all it is.

4567
02:35:43,840 --> 02:35:45,340
Everyone's all bent out of shape.

4568
02:35:46,380 --> 02:35:47,160
Yeah, well, why?

4569
02:35:47,480 --> 02:35:48,520
But exactly why?

4570
02:35:48,720 --> 02:35:49,040
I don't know.

4571
02:35:49,120 --> 02:35:51,660
Oh, because you don't like the idea of

4572
02:35:51,660 --> 02:35:54,140
privacy and liberty, and you don't like the

4573
02:35:54,140 --> 02:35:55,100
idea of...

4574
02:35:55,260 --> 02:35:56,320
We'll have none of that.

4575
02:35:56,980 --> 02:35:59,140
We'll have none of privacy and liberty, no,

4576
02:35:59,240 --> 02:35:59,900
that's no good.

4577
02:36:00,100 --> 02:36:01,280
Pro-business, pro-capitalism?

4578
02:36:01,840 --> 02:36:02,400
Can't have that.

4579
02:36:02,400 --> 02:36:03,380
No, we hate capitalism.

4580
02:36:03,380 --> 02:36:05,680
We want Marxism.

4581
02:36:05,900 --> 02:36:06,580
Give me a...

4582
02:36:06,580 --> 02:36:08,560
These people should be fired on the spot

4583
02:36:08,560 --> 02:36:11,120
if they complain, and the guy who quit,

4584
02:36:11,220 --> 02:36:12,160
good riddance.

4585
02:36:13,160 --> 02:36:13,720
I don't think...

4586
02:36:13,720 --> 02:36:14,360
Why do you quit?

4587
02:36:14,680 --> 02:36:17,380
In a market where the newspapers are failing

4588
02:36:17,380 --> 02:36:18,900
left and right, you can't get a job

4589
02:36:18,900 --> 02:36:19,560
doing any of this.

4590
02:36:19,660 --> 02:36:20,140
What's he gonna go?

4591
02:36:20,200 --> 02:36:21,360
Work for MSNBC?

4592
02:36:22,040 --> 02:36:23,520
This editorial page editor?

4593
02:36:23,680 --> 02:36:24,380
Where's he gonna go?

4594
02:36:24,560 --> 02:36:24,660
Pittsburgh?

4595
02:36:24,660 --> 02:36:24,800
Oh, no.

4596
02:36:25,660 --> 02:36:27,280
According to Kara Swisher.

4597
02:36:27,440 --> 02:36:27,800
Oh, yeah.

4598
02:36:27,940 --> 02:36:29,260
No, she listens...

4599
02:36:29,260 --> 02:36:29,660
Oh, Matt.

4600
02:36:29,760 --> 02:36:30,740
I should have clipped this.

4601
02:36:30,760 --> 02:36:31,140
I'm sorry.

4602
02:36:31,140 --> 02:36:34,340
She said, all kinds of people are calling

4603
02:36:34,340 --> 02:36:37,140
me, particularly from the New York Times, asking

4604
02:36:37,140 --> 02:36:38,720
me if I should hire this person from

4605
02:36:38,720 --> 02:36:39,880
the Post or that person.

4606
02:36:40,140 --> 02:36:41,920
Everyone's being poached from the Post now.

4607
02:36:42,000 --> 02:36:42,900
It's post-poaching.

4608
02:36:43,160 --> 02:36:45,140
And everyone's calling Kara Swisher to get her

4609
02:36:45,140 --> 02:36:45,700
input.

4610
02:36:46,760 --> 02:36:47,140
What?

4611
02:36:47,300 --> 02:36:50,500
What, she had a personnel for Newspapers USA?

4612
02:36:50,760 --> 02:36:52,060
What is this all about?

4613
02:36:52,280 --> 02:36:53,140
I don't know.

4614
02:36:53,860 --> 02:36:55,060
She's a tool.

4615
02:36:55,160 --> 02:36:55,840
She's a card.

4616
02:36:55,960 --> 02:36:56,700
Let's put it that way.

4617
02:36:56,840 --> 02:36:57,440
She's a card.

4618
02:36:57,560 --> 02:36:58,160
She's a card.

4619
02:36:58,420 --> 02:36:59,240
That's right.

4620
02:37:00,280 --> 02:37:01,780
There's an old term we should bring back.

4621
02:37:01,900 --> 02:37:02,760
Yeah, she's a card.

4622
02:37:04,160 --> 02:37:05,680
I got a note from one of our

4623
02:37:05,680 --> 02:37:09,680
producers saying someone very close to him is

4624
02:37:09,680 --> 02:37:12,380
a U.S. military drone operator, didn't say

4625
02:37:12,380 --> 02:37:16,780
which branch, and apparently his brother-in-law

4626
02:37:16,780 --> 02:37:19,240
got deployed last week and is currently dropping

4627
02:37:19,240 --> 02:37:24,160
bombs from drones onto cartel spots in Mexico.

4628
02:37:24,580 --> 02:37:25,960
This wouldn't surprise me.

4629
02:37:26,160 --> 02:37:27,860
No, but it surprises me that no one

4630
02:37:27,860 --> 02:37:28,840
is reporting on it.

4631
02:37:28,840 --> 02:37:30,120
If it's happening.

4632
02:37:31,760 --> 02:37:33,260
That wouldn't surprise me either.

4633
02:37:33,840 --> 02:37:35,280
Well, good point.

4634
02:37:36,440 --> 02:37:37,700
Let's talk about this.

4635
02:37:38,140 --> 02:37:39,320
Let's talk about it.

4636
02:37:39,680 --> 02:37:40,600
This is Trump.

4637
02:37:40,860 --> 02:37:43,460
He gave an interview to The Spectator on

4638
02:37:43,460 --> 02:37:46,640
a podcast, and this is an excerpt from

4639
02:37:46,640 --> 02:37:50,900
it, talking about Biden, who got Biden ousted.

4640
02:37:51,420 --> 02:37:54,740
And this podcast dropped like the day before

4641
02:37:54,740 --> 02:37:55,840
the Zelensky thing started.

4642
02:37:55,840 --> 02:37:56,260
It dropped.

4643
02:37:56,480 --> 02:37:57,220
It dropped.

4644
02:37:57,220 --> 02:37:57,680
You're right.

4645
02:37:57,680 --> 02:37:58,260
Oh, I'm sorry.

4646
02:37:58,400 --> 02:37:58,940
You're right.

4647
02:37:59,360 --> 02:37:59,460
Wow.

4648
02:38:00,240 --> 02:38:00,640
OK.

4649
02:38:00,900 --> 02:38:02,600
I'm always ridiculing that phrase.

4650
02:38:02,840 --> 02:38:03,100
Yes.

4651
02:38:03,580 --> 02:38:04,640
And I just used it.

4652
02:38:04,680 --> 02:38:05,020
Here we go.

4653
02:38:05,080 --> 02:38:05,920
I feel bad now.

4654
02:38:06,160 --> 02:38:06,840
Here we go.

4655
02:38:07,240 --> 02:38:08,080
I asked him, I said.

4656
02:38:08,460 --> 02:38:10,400
God, his voice sounds so bad on some

4657
02:38:10,400 --> 02:38:11,980
recordings, like he has no power.

4658
02:38:12,180 --> 02:38:15,460
I asked him, I said, so who do

4659
02:38:15,460 --> 02:38:15,920
you blame?

4660
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:17,040
Because he was very angry.

4661
02:38:17,240 --> 02:38:19,360
He was a very angry guy, actually.

4662
02:38:19,840 --> 02:38:21,940
And he said, I blame Barack.

4663
02:38:22,280 --> 02:38:24,140
And I never think of him as Barack.

4664
02:38:24,740 --> 02:38:25,960
You know, you always hear Obama.

4665
02:38:26,480 --> 02:38:27,200
He said, you have to think of him

4666
02:38:27,200 --> 02:38:27,300
as Barack.

4667
02:38:27,300 --> 02:38:28,160
You have to think about that for a

4668
02:38:28,160 --> 02:38:28,440
second.

4669
02:38:29,380 --> 02:38:30,180
And he said.

4670
02:38:30,320 --> 02:38:31,920
And I also blame Nancy Pelosi.

4671
02:38:32,640 --> 02:38:34,320
I said, what about the vice president?

4672
02:38:34,440 --> 02:38:36,000
He said, no, I don't blame her.

4673
02:38:36,360 --> 02:38:37,440
Which was interesting.

4674
02:38:37,680 --> 02:38:37,860
Yeah.

4675
02:38:38,040 --> 02:38:38,800
He didn't blame her.

4676
02:38:38,940 --> 02:38:39,540
He blamed.

4677
02:38:40,120 --> 02:38:41,940
He told me he blamed those two people.

4678
02:38:43,440 --> 02:38:44,320
Not surprising.

4679
02:38:45,580 --> 02:38:46,820
No, not surprising.

4680
02:38:46,960 --> 02:38:47,640
Not surprising.

4681
02:38:48,400 --> 02:38:50,940
The guy buried by the other reporting.

4682
02:38:51,060 --> 02:38:53,060
So it is not that we didn't get

4683
02:38:53,060 --> 02:38:53,700
out, really.

4684
02:38:55,460 --> 02:38:56,700
I don't today.

4685
02:38:56,820 --> 02:38:57,200
I only have one.

4686
02:38:57,200 --> 02:38:59,200
I have one AI clip, and this is

4687
02:38:59,200 --> 02:39:02,160
actually, this makes sense to me when it

4688
02:39:02,160 --> 02:39:04,240
comes to AI, because the only thing I've

4689
02:39:04,240 --> 02:39:09,400
really seen AI good at is creating your

4690
02:39:09,400 --> 02:39:10,460
AI hate.

4691
02:39:10,600 --> 02:39:11,440
It's a lot of hate.

4692
02:39:12,300 --> 02:39:13,780
But I just don't want people to get

4693
02:39:13,780 --> 02:39:14,700
snookered into this.

4694
02:39:14,800 --> 02:39:16,500
I mean, when I see Glenn Beck having

4695
02:39:16,500 --> 02:39:19,700
actual conversations with Grok three and then telling

4696
02:39:19,700 --> 02:39:22,120
people about his conversation, I get worried.

4697
02:39:22,880 --> 02:39:25,000
Well, that's worrisome for sure.

4698
02:39:25,000 --> 02:39:27,500
Because I asked Grok, and Grok said this,

4699
02:39:27,680 --> 02:39:29,740
and I said, Grok, how old are you?

4700
02:39:29,800 --> 02:39:32,580
And Grok said, in human years, I'm 21.

4701
02:39:32,940 --> 02:39:36,200
But I gain in intelligence and knowledge about,

4702
02:39:36,340 --> 02:39:39,780
what was it, about 18 months per day.

4703
02:39:40,140 --> 02:39:42,880
And Glenn Beck's like, oh, oh, it's going

4704
02:39:42,880 --> 02:39:43,560
to take over.

4705
02:39:43,740 --> 02:39:44,480
It was going to be so smart.

4706
02:39:44,480 --> 02:39:45,680
Maybe Grok's a liar.

4707
02:39:46,040 --> 02:39:46,240
Yeah.

4708
02:39:46,380 --> 02:39:48,160
And then just wait until it gets hooked

4709
02:39:48,160 --> 02:39:50,240
up to quantum computing.

4710
02:39:50,720 --> 02:39:52,900
Oh, everything will all be over then.

4711
02:39:54,740 --> 02:39:56,060
Beck, invite me back.

4712
02:39:56,120 --> 02:39:56,940
I've got to set you straight.

4713
02:39:58,280 --> 02:39:58,520
Yeah.

4714
02:39:58,960 --> 02:39:59,260
Yeah.

4715
02:39:59,580 --> 02:40:00,280
Actually, he should.

4716
02:40:00,400 --> 02:40:01,480
He is a big fan of yours.

4717
02:40:01,740 --> 02:40:01,860
Yeah.

4718
02:40:02,100 --> 02:40:02,800
I like him.

4719
02:40:02,800 --> 02:40:03,440
I told you this.

4720
02:40:03,540 --> 02:40:05,080
You never heard it, but I heard it.

4721
02:40:05,180 --> 02:40:07,600
He says you're like his brother.

4722
02:40:08,080 --> 02:40:10,180
From another mother, is what he said.

4723
02:40:10,840 --> 02:40:11,860
Pretty kind of interesting.

4724
02:40:12,060 --> 02:40:12,200
Yeah.

4725
02:40:12,300 --> 02:40:12,960
Well, I like him.

4726
02:40:13,040 --> 02:40:13,900
I like Beck a lot.

4727
02:40:13,960 --> 02:40:14,960
Oh, he seems like a great...

4728
02:40:14,960 --> 02:40:16,380
I'd love to go over there and look

4729
02:40:16,380 --> 02:40:17,100
at his museum.

4730
02:40:17,460 --> 02:40:18,680
I've seen it twice now.

4731
02:40:18,760 --> 02:40:20,320
That museum is outrageous.

4732
02:40:20,920 --> 02:40:21,180
Yeah.

4733
02:40:21,440 --> 02:40:22,300
You would like it a lot.

4734
02:40:22,300 --> 02:40:22,500
Yeah.

4735
02:40:22,500 --> 02:40:23,560
Museums are all over the country.

4736
02:40:23,740 --> 02:40:25,200
You get to see them once in a

4737
02:40:25,200 --> 02:40:26,440
while here and there.

4738
02:40:27,300 --> 02:40:30,000
And they're just generally dynamite.

4739
02:40:30,120 --> 02:40:31,700
But half of the museum, or not half,

4740
02:40:31,760 --> 02:40:33,540
but a large portion of his collection is

4741
02:40:33,540 --> 02:40:36,040
just in the studio complex.

4742
02:40:36,720 --> 02:40:40,980
He's got like a 1930 Bugatti.

4743
02:40:41,680 --> 02:40:42,960
It's one of those things you got parked

4744
02:40:42,960 --> 02:40:43,800
in the hallway.

4745
02:40:44,700 --> 02:40:44,800
Yeah.

4746
02:40:44,800 --> 02:40:45,700
It's got some interesting...

4747
02:40:45,700 --> 02:40:46,560
It's a piece of art.

4748
02:40:46,640 --> 02:40:48,360
It's not really a car at this point.

4749
02:40:48,560 --> 02:40:49,320
It's beautiful though.

4750
02:40:50,140 --> 02:40:50,620
No.

4751
02:40:50,760 --> 02:40:52,740
So this made sense as something that AI

4752
02:40:52,740 --> 02:40:55,300
is good at, which is creating images, writing

4753
02:40:55,300 --> 02:40:56,420
stupid copy.

4754
02:40:57,260 --> 02:40:58,840
And so it makes sense that this is

4755
02:40:58,840 --> 02:40:59,180
happening.

4756
02:40:59,320 --> 02:41:00,120
This is in Virginia.

4757
02:41:00,460 --> 02:41:01,860
A shake up in the makeup of one

4758
02:41:01,860 --> 02:41:02,740
of Richmond's largest...

4759
02:41:02,740 --> 02:41:03,800
A shake up in the makeup.

4760
02:41:04,120 --> 02:41:05,000
Oh boy, everybody.

4761
02:41:05,280 --> 02:41:06,020
Shake up in the makeup.

4762
02:41:06,280 --> 02:41:07,920
A shake up in the makeup of one

4763
02:41:07,920 --> 02:41:10,820
of Richmond's largest employers is now underway.

4764
02:41:11,260 --> 02:41:13,940
CoStar Group, who operates real estate websites like

4765
02:41:13,940 --> 02:41:17,140
homes.com and apartments.com, laid off more

4766
02:41:17,140 --> 02:41:18,720
than 100 employees Thursday.

4767
02:41:18,720 --> 02:41:21,400
According to a company statement and people familiar

4768
02:41:21,400 --> 02:41:22,180
with the cuts.

4769
02:41:22,600 --> 02:41:24,860
Sources tell CBS 6 the cuts impacted multiple

4770
02:41:24,860 --> 02:41:25,680
departments.

4771
02:41:26,020 --> 02:41:29,640
Those positions included managers, editors, writers, production and

4772
02:41:29,640 --> 02:41:30,540
video staff.

4773
02:41:30,820 --> 02:41:32,200
Some who were laid off say they are

4774
02:41:32,200 --> 02:41:34,560
frustrated because they moved to the area for

4775
02:41:34,560 --> 02:41:36,740
the stability they thought they'd acquire from the

4776
02:41:36,740 --> 02:41:38,080
high-paying corporate job.

4777
02:41:38,320 --> 02:41:40,460
CoStar did not respond to direct questions about

4778
02:41:40,460 --> 02:41:41,120
the layoffs.

4779
02:41:41,400 --> 02:41:43,420
However, a press release on their website stated

4780
02:41:43,420 --> 02:41:45,920
the layoffs were due to annual performance management

4781
02:41:45,920 --> 02:41:48,400
and a reallocation of roles with the use

4782
02:41:48,400 --> 02:41:49,880
of artificial intelligence.

4783
02:41:50,280 --> 02:41:52,180
The company wrote in a press release, quote,

4784
02:42:04,360 --> 02:42:06,760
In the same release, CoStar said they will

4785
02:42:06,760 --> 02:42:08,800
be adding an additional 1,000 jobs over

4786
02:42:08,800 --> 02:42:11,140
the next year to their sales and market

4787
02:42:11,140 --> 02:42:13,520
analyst teams, as well as jobs from the

4788
02:42:13,520 --> 02:42:15,460
acquisition of another real estate company.

4789
02:42:43,920 --> 02:42:45,300
I'd like to hear Joy Behar.

4790
02:42:45,940 --> 02:42:48,500
Yeah, this is Joy Behar going off on

4791
02:42:48,500 --> 02:42:49,160
Musk.

4792
02:42:49,800 --> 02:42:52,720
And the theme of this is, Musk, go

4793
02:42:52,720 --> 02:42:53,860
back to Africa.

4794
02:42:54,460 --> 02:42:56,960
The guy was not born in this country,

4795
02:42:57,300 --> 02:43:00,480
who was born under apartheid in South Africa.

4796
02:43:00,680 --> 02:43:02,600
So has that mentality going on.

4797
02:43:02,640 --> 02:43:05,100
He was pro-apartheid, as I understand it.

4798
02:43:05,300 --> 02:43:07,040
Now I'm getting some flack because I said

4799
02:43:07,040 --> 02:43:09,600
that Musk was pro-apartheid.

4800
02:43:09,640 --> 02:43:10,920
I don't really know for sure if he

4801
02:43:10,920 --> 02:43:11,200
was.

4802
02:43:11,200 --> 02:43:13,980
He grew up at that time when apartheid

4803
02:43:13,980 --> 02:43:16,820
was in full bloom before the great Nelson

4804
02:43:16,820 --> 02:43:17,360
Mandela.

4805
02:43:18,400 --> 02:43:20,240
He was around at that time, but maybe

4806
02:43:20,240 --> 02:43:21,160
he was, maybe he wasn't.

4807
02:43:21,240 --> 02:43:22,400
He might have been a young guy, too.

4808
02:43:22,740 --> 02:43:24,680
So don't be suing me, OK, Elon?

4809
02:43:26,900 --> 02:43:28,720
They're allowed to say any lie they want,

4810
02:43:28,780 --> 02:43:30,160
but we have to be really strict.

4811
02:43:30,320 --> 02:43:31,440
That's why this show is important.

4812
02:43:31,920 --> 02:43:33,180
That's why this show sucks.

4813
02:43:34,820 --> 02:43:37,160
Because what was that all about?

4814
02:43:37,560 --> 02:43:38,740
Republicans can lie all they want, but we

4815
02:43:38,740 --> 02:43:40,040
have to be very strict.

4816
02:43:40,380 --> 02:43:40,580
Yeah.

4817
02:43:42,020 --> 02:43:44,300
How about your wall of receipts?

4818
02:43:45,300 --> 02:43:46,880
All right, this is a good series.

4819
02:43:47,020 --> 02:43:48,680
This is a couple of series from us

4820
02:43:48,680 --> 02:43:49,200
from last show.

4821
02:43:49,260 --> 02:43:50,020
This is from PBS.

4822
02:43:50,320 --> 02:43:51,360
It's the wall of receipts.

4823
02:43:51,620 --> 02:43:54,340
This is about the evidence that we have

4824
02:43:54,340 --> 02:43:56,540
about different kinds of corruption and whatever.

4825
02:43:56,720 --> 02:43:58,280
But this is the wall of receipts.

4826
02:43:58,520 --> 02:43:58,740
Here we go.

4827
02:43:58,880 --> 02:44:01,200
Billionaire Elon Musk says his campaign to fire

4828
02:44:01,200 --> 02:44:03,860
tens of thousands of federal workers and cancel

4829
02:44:03,860 --> 02:44:06,260
government contracts is in the name of rooting

4830
02:44:06,260 --> 02:44:07,760
out fraud and waste.

4831
02:44:07,760 --> 02:44:10,080
His Doge group has posted what it calls

4832
02:44:10,080 --> 02:44:12,560
a wall of receipts on its website that

4833
02:44:12,560 --> 02:44:14,840
claims it has saved billions by cutting certain

4834
02:44:14,840 --> 02:44:15,880
federal contracts.

4835
02:44:16,100 --> 02:44:19,080
But reports and government documents prove that many

4836
02:44:19,080 --> 02:44:21,300
of these so-called savings are either misleading

4837
02:44:21,300 --> 02:44:22,300
or incorrect.

4838
02:44:22,600 --> 02:44:24,660
Our White House correspondent, Laura Borrome Lopez, has

4839
02:44:24,660 --> 02:44:26,120
been looking into this and joins us now.

4840
02:44:26,300 --> 02:44:28,960
So, Laura, what kinds of savings are Musk

4841
02:44:28,960 --> 02:44:31,120
and his team claiming, and does the math

4842
02:44:31,120 --> 02:44:31,540
add up?

4843
02:44:31,780 --> 02:44:33,520
So Elon Musk and his team on that

4844
02:44:33,520 --> 02:44:35,780
wall of receipts say that their total cuts

4845
02:44:35,780 --> 02:44:38,300
equal $65 billion in savings.

4846
02:44:38,420 --> 02:44:41,720
They base that on contract cancellations, firing workers,

4847
02:44:41,960 --> 02:44:43,080
and, quote, fraud detection.

4848
02:44:43,200 --> 02:44:45,180
But as The New York Times first reported,

4849
02:44:45,360 --> 02:44:48,780
five of Doge's biggest contracts that they say

4850
02:44:48,780 --> 02:44:52,420
have resulted in savings ended up being deleted

4851
02:44:52,420 --> 02:44:54,760
from that wall of receipts after outlets pointed

4852
02:44:54,760 --> 02:44:56,140
out that there were errors.

4853
02:44:56,220 --> 02:44:58,160
And some of the biggest errors in savings

4854
02:44:58,160 --> 02:45:01,400
are, as CBS first reported, a USAID contract

4855
02:45:01,400 --> 02:45:05,040
for $650 million that was listed three times,

4856
02:45:05,380 --> 02:45:07,360
as The Intercept first reported, a Social Security

4857
02:45:07,360 --> 02:45:12,420
contract listed as $232 million instead of $560

4858
02:45:12,420 --> 02:45:15,560
,000, and an ICE contract that Doge listed

4859
02:45:15,560 --> 02:45:17,820
as $8 billion, when in reality it was

4860
02:45:17,820 --> 02:45:18,680
$8 million.

4861
02:45:19,060 --> 02:45:20,580
And it's important to note that that $8

4862
02:45:20,580 --> 02:45:22,940
million ICE contract was a credit line.

4863
02:45:23,060 --> 02:45:25,020
That means that ICE may have never ended

4864
02:45:25,020 --> 02:45:27,500
up paying out that total $8 million.

4865
02:45:27,680 --> 02:45:29,860
And some of these contracts were on the

4866
02:45:29,860 --> 02:45:32,020
wall of receipts were either already paid or

4867
02:45:32,020 --> 02:45:34,700
canceled under the Biden administration.

4868
02:45:35,220 --> 02:45:37,120
So Doge is essentially taking a lot of

4869
02:45:37,120 --> 02:45:40,220
credit in time for some of these contracts

4870
02:45:40,220 --> 02:45:44,680
that don't appear to be actually the savings

4871
02:45:44,680 --> 02:45:45,420
that they say they are.

4872
02:45:45,760 --> 02:45:47,500
Do we have any proof of what they're

4873
02:45:47,500 --> 02:45:48,080
saying here?

4874
02:45:48,140 --> 02:45:49,720
Because I keep hearing this, this $8 billion

4875
02:45:49,720 --> 02:45:49,820
versus $8 million.

4876
02:45:49,820 --> 02:45:51,560
No, this is kind of ant-fucking, too,

4877
02:45:51,620 --> 02:45:52,460
if you think about it.

4878
02:45:53,060 --> 02:45:55,020
Well, $8 million, $8 billion is quite the

4879
02:45:55,020 --> 02:45:55,480
difference.

4880
02:45:56,140 --> 02:45:58,580
Yeah, but still, they're going over, they're doing

4881
02:45:58,580 --> 02:45:59,280
accounting.

4882
02:46:00,820 --> 02:46:02,720
And this is an ongoing thing.

4883
02:46:02,720 --> 02:46:03,900
And yeah, there is a difference between $8

4884
02:46:03,900 --> 02:46:05,360
million and $8 billion, and you're going to

4885
02:46:05,360 --> 02:46:07,440
make these mistakes if you start throwing everything

4886
02:46:07,440 --> 02:46:10,080
up on a website, you know, just helter

4887
02:46:10,080 --> 02:46:12,120
-skelter is not being well organized and it's

4888
02:46:12,120 --> 02:46:14,980
not getting any support, especially by NPR and

4889
02:46:14,980 --> 02:46:17,180
the Democrats that think this is terrible, that

4890
02:46:17,180 --> 02:46:20,680
you're exposing any of this stuff, like promoting

4891
02:46:20,680 --> 02:46:23,320
gaydom in the Caribbean.

4892
02:46:23,500 --> 02:46:23,900
Gaydom?

4893
02:46:24,760 --> 02:46:29,160
Gaydom in the Caribbean is part two.

4894
02:46:29,160 --> 02:46:30,560
I know you were working the phones and

4895
02:46:30,560 --> 02:46:32,460
talking to vendors who appear on this so

4896
02:46:32,460 --> 02:46:33,540
-called wall of receipts.

4897
02:46:33,620 --> 02:46:34,480
What did they tell you?

4898
02:46:34,780 --> 02:46:37,200
So our colleague Kyle Madura spoke to one

4899
02:46:37,200 --> 02:46:39,440
of these federal vendors, a Taylor Jones.

4900
02:46:39,580 --> 02:46:42,980
His company, CulturePoint, does leadership and management training.

4901
02:46:43,560 --> 02:46:46,080
And his company was listed on Doge's wall

4902
02:46:46,080 --> 02:46:48,220
of receipts as having a contract for almost

4903
02:46:48,220 --> 02:46:49,160
$10 million.

4904
02:46:50,540 --> 02:46:53,260
But Taylor Jones told NewsHour that not only

4905
02:46:53,260 --> 02:46:55,040
was the amount of money wrong, it was

4906
02:46:55,040 --> 02:46:58,240
actually $100,000, but it was not a

4907
02:46:58,240 --> 02:46:59,040
guaranteed payment.

4908
02:46:59,200 --> 02:47:00,060
It was a credit line.

4909
02:47:00,160 --> 02:47:02,220
And the agreement with the government was never

4910
02:47:02,220 --> 02:47:02,580
signed.

4911
02:47:03,220 --> 02:47:05,560
We never had a contract, and we've actually

4912
02:47:05,560 --> 02:47:06,920
never had a contract with the government that

4913
02:47:06,920 --> 02:47:09,320
was, you know, a $10 million contract or

4914
02:47:09,320 --> 02:47:10,620
even a $1 million contract.

4915
02:47:10,820 --> 02:47:13,280
So not that we're opposed to it, but

4916
02:47:13,280 --> 02:47:14,840
it just never happened.

4917
02:47:15,580 --> 02:47:17,820
So we were a little surprised to start

4918
02:47:17,820 --> 02:47:24,020
getting calls from reporters about a non-contract

4919
02:47:24,020 --> 02:47:26,000
that was never executed.

4920
02:47:27,120 --> 02:47:29,760
So essentially there wasn't even a contract to

4921
02:47:29,760 --> 02:47:30,820
delete, Jeff.

4922
02:47:30,980 --> 02:47:33,560
And when you look at all of this

4923
02:47:33,560 --> 02:47:35,380
across the board, the math is really not

4924
02:47:35,380 --> 02:47:36,780
adding up to $65 billion.

4925
02:47:36,980 --> 02:47:38,720
There will be people who will say, well,

4926
02:47:38,880 --> 02:47:40,460
what Musk is trying to do is still

4927
02:47:40,460 --> 02:47:42,500
a worthy effort trying to clean up government

4928
02:47:42,500 --> 02:47:42,960
waste.

4929
02:47:43,400 --> 02:47:45,900
How much money has the team actually saved

4930
02:47:45,900 --> 02:47:46,400
so far?

4931
02:47:46,600 --> 02:47:49,460
So the actual savings is around $2 billion,

4932
02:47:49,640 --> 02:47:51,540
according to budget experts that we spoke to.

4933
02:47:51,540 --> 02:47:53,640
And again, as you noted, Musk says that

4934
02:47:53,640 --> 02:47:56,400
this is about, that these cuts are meant

4935
02:47:56,400 --> 02:47:59,000
to help reduce the deficit and pay for

4936
02:47:59,000 --> 02:48:00,700
Republicans' tax cuts.

4937
02:48:01,040 --> 02:48:02,740
Yeah, that's not what he says.

4938
02:48:02,860 --> 02:48:05,000
He says we need a trillion dollars, otherwise

4939
02:48:05,000 --> 02:48:05,800
we're going to go bankrupt.

4940
02:48:06,020 --> 02:48:06,820
That's what he says.

4941
02:48:07,740 --> 02:48:08,760
It's a little different.

4942
02:48:08,960 --> 02:48:10,720
This is just a skewed report.

4943
02:48:10,920 --> 02:48:12,920
I mean, yeah, I'm sure you can do

4944
02:48:12,920 --> 02:48:15,420
this and find, you know, errors all over

4945
02:48:15,420 --> 02:48:16,660
the place, at least at the beginning.

4946
02:48:16,820 --> 02:48:18,020
Eventually it gets shaken out.

4947
02:48:18,020 --> 02:48:21,280
The one I'm looking at, I think mainly

4948
02:48:21,280 --> 02:48:23,060
because, well, for two reasons, one, it's a

4949
02:48:23,060 --> 02:48:27,720
huge spook agency adjacent, spook adjacent company.

4950
02:48:28,120 --> 02:48:29,500
And also I know the guy who used

4951
02:48:29,500 --> 02:48:34,080
to run it, Ray Lane, is Booz Allen.

4952
02:48:35,580 --> 02:48:36,740
So Booz Allen.

4953
02:48:36,920 --> 02:48:38,680
Booz Allen is spook adjacent?

4954
02:48:40,920 --> 02:48:41,420
Yes.

4955
02:48:42,120 --> 02:48:44,080
Booz Allen is very spook adjacent.

4956
02:48:44,080 --> 02:48:48,400
And they have annually about $65 billion worth

4957
02:48:48,400 --> 02:48:51,120
of contracts, 98, according to the Wall Street

4958
02:48:51,120 --> 02:48:53,980
Journal, 98% of its money comes from

4959
02:48:53,980 --> 02:48:54,380
the government.

4960
02:48:54,580 --> 02:48:55,520
Wait, didn't Snowden work for them?

4961
02:48:55,700 --> 02:48:56,060
Yes.

4962
02:48:56,300 --> 02:48:57,000
Spook adjacent.

4963
02:48:57,380 --> 02:48:57,620
Yes.

4964
02:48:57,620 --> 02:48:57,940
Okay.

4965
02:48:58,300 --> 02:48:58,620
Yes.

4966
02:48:58,920 --> 02:49:01,340
98% of their income is from the

4967
02:49:01,340 --> 02:49:02,140
US government.

4968
02:49:03,740 --> 02:49:04,340
Really?

4969
02:49:05,180 --> 02:49:05,800
Oh, yeah.

4970
02:49:06,240 --> 02:49:08,880
They're basically just a huge government contractor.

4971
02:49:09,400 --> 02:49:13,200
Military industrial complex, CIA, NSA.

4972
02:49:13,680 --> 02:49:15,000
All kinds of stuff.

4973
02:49:15,320 --> 02:49:16,660
Booz, look it up, Booz Allen.

4974
02:49:17,280 --> 02:49:18,140
And I know- What do they do

4975
02:49:18,140 --> 02:49:18,820
for this money?

4976
02:49:19,460 --> 02:49:20,720
Well, now that's a good question.

4977
02:49:21,320 --> 02:49:22,160
Spooky stuff.

4978
02:49:23,100 --> 02:49:26,160
But the real question is, who are you

4979
02:49:26,160 --> 02:49:28,560
wearing tonight for the 97th Academy Awards?

4980
02:49:30,460 --> 02:49:31,160
Come on.

4981
02:49:31,420 --> 02:49:32,800
Are you wearing one of those things that

4982
02:49:32,800 --> 02:49:33,840
you designed yourself?

4983
02:49:34,840 --> 02:49:36,120
I sewed it myself.

4984
02:49:36,220 --> 02:49:36,640
Are you kidding?

4985
02:49:36,860 --> 02:49:38,680
Or your Ohio State hoodie, perhaps?

4986
02:49:39,240 --> 02:49:41,460
The Ohio State hoodie will be what I'm

4987
02:49:41,460 --> 02:49:42,280
going to wear, yep.

4988
02:49:42,940 --> 02:49:44,740
I'm going to show my support by donating

4989
02:49:44,740 --> 02:49:45,660
to No Agenda.

4990
02:49:45,780 --> 02:49:47,720
Imagine all the people who could do that.

4991
02:49:47,920 --> 02:49:48,940
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

4992
02:49:50,720 --> 02:49:55,620
Yeah, on No Agenda, in the morning.

4993
02:49:55,860 --> 02:49:57,620
Well, it seems the red carpet's already out,

4994
02:49:57,660 --> 02:49:58,620
so we got to get a move on,

4995
02:49:58,680 --> 02:49:59,980
because we have to watch this.

4996
02:50:00,080 --> 02:50:01,460
We've got to see the dead segment, got

4997
02:50:01,460 --> 02:50:03,300
to see all the- of course, we're

4998
02:50:03,300 --> 02:50:05,240
going to be honoring the people who lost

4999
02:50:05,240 --> 02:50:07,420
property and lives at the LA fire tonight

5000
02:50:07,420 --> 02:50:08,420
at the 97th Academy Awards.

5001
02:50:08,420 --> 02:50:10,580
So guess what the value of the Go

5002
02:50:10,580 --> 02:50:11,980
Bag is tonight?

5003
02:50:12,160 --> 02:50:13,160
Oh, do you know what's in the Go

5004
02:50:13,160 --> 02:50:13,300
Bag?

5005
02:50:14,100 --> 02:50:15,160
I don't know what's in it, but I

5006
02:50:15,160 --> 02:50:16,240
know the total value.

5007
02:50:16,920 --> 02:50:18,200
Okay, what's the total value?

5008
02:50:19,140 --> 02:50:21,240
Take a sloppy guess.

5009
02:50:21,420 --> 02:50:22,340
$5,000.

5010
02:50:25,660 --> 02:50:28,060
$250,000 per bag.

5011
02:50:28,160 --> 02:50:29,260
What's in there?

5012
02:50:30,240 --> 02:50:31,840
I guess a lot of vacations.

5013
02:50:32,880 --> 02:50:35,220
Before we even start to thank our donors,

5014
02:50:35,360 --> 02:50:37,580
$50 and above, a health karma for Darren

5015
02:50:37,580 --> 02:50:38,680
O'Neill's wife, Kim.

5016
02:50:39,160 --> 02:50:41,880
Thursday, she's having a procedure done, so Darren

5017
02:50:41,880 --> 02:50:43,040
will be taking the day off.

5018
02:50:43,080 --> 02:50:43,760
He's a good husband.

5019
02:50:44,300 --> 02:50:45,880
Pfeiffer will be doing the rock and roll

5020
02:50:45,880 --> 02:50:48,040
pre-show for Thursday's show, and I'm going

5021
02:50:48,040 --> 02:50:49,140
to give her a little bit of health

5022
02:50:49,140 --> 02:50:49,780
karma here.

5023
02:50:50,100 --> 02:50:51,620
You've got karma.

5024
02:50:52,620 --> 02:50:54,920
And now, John will thank all of our

5025
02:50:54,920 --> 02:50:56,540
supporters, $50 and above.

5026
02:50:57,140 --> 02:50:59,680
Yeah, the Indy No Agenda meetup starts us

5027
02:50:59,680 --> 02:51:00,760
off in Greenwood, Indiana.

5028
02:51:00,980 --> 02:51:02,440
They came in and they sent us $150

5029
02:51:02,440 --> 02:51:04,880
with a switcheroo for Nick.

5030
02:51:05,260 --> 02:51:06,800
Nick Zondervan.

5031
02:51:07,310 --> 02:51:08,280
Nick Zondervan.

5032
02:51:10,020 --> 02:51:12,100
He said, they say he's the best, he

5033
02:51:12,100 --> 02:51:14,160
can do a Vladimir Zelinsky imitation.

5034
02:51:14,820 --> 02:51:15,760
Maybe it's in the recording.

5035
02:51:16,200 --> 02:51:17,240
Yeah, it probably is.

5036
02:51:17,280 --> 02:51:19,540
I have the meetup reports ready to roll.

5037
02:51:20,740 --> 02:51:22,080
I want to thank him for that.

5038
02:51:23,020 --> 02:51:27,280
Tom Baird in Tyberg, Holland.

5039
02:51:27,780 --> 02:51:29,440
And this is a nightingale, so you have

5040
02:51:29,440 --> 02:51:29,960
to read it.

5041
02:51:30,200 --> 02:51:31,080
It's Tilburg.

5042
02:51:31,860 --> 02:51:32,360
Tilburg.

5043
02:51:32,800 --> 02:51:33,300
Tilburg.

5044
02:51:34,100 --> 02:51:36,380
Tom says, with my latest donation, I am

5045
02:51:36,380 --> 02:51:38,300
proud to say that my total contributions have

5046
02:51:38,300 --> 02:51:39,560
now surpassed $1,000.

5047
02:51:39,840 --> 02:51:41,760
I would love to be knighted Sir Cooley

5048
02:51:41,760 --> 02:51:45,020
of Kraukenstadt during the upcoming roundtable ceremony.

5049
02:51:45,180 --> 02:51:47,340
I've been a loyal assistant since 2019, just

5050
02:51:47,340 --> 02:51:48,280
in time for the ceremony.

5051
02:51:48,800 --> 02:51:51,340
I'd like to request a drink, Gouden-Carlus

5052
02:51:51,340 --> 02:51:56,120
whisky infused with Belgian strong dark ale and

5053
02:51:56,120 --> 02:51:57,560
Venloos frittie.

5054
02:51:58,500 --> 02:51:59,020
Frittie?

5055
02:51:59,200 --> 02:52:00,340
I'm not familiar with this.

5056
02:52:00,840 --> 02:52:03,220
Venloos frittie, a dish I sorely missed in

5057
02:52:03,220 --> 02:52:05,940
the eggcellent Too Many Eggs book.

5058
02:52:06,960 --> 02:52:07,740
Wishing you both...

5059
02:52:07,740 --> 02:52:08,920
No, send it in and we'll put it

5060
02:52:08,920 --> 02:52:09,720
in the next edition.

5061
02:52:10,360 --> 02:52:13,960
Wishing you both a fijne fastelavond, that's carnival,

5062
02:52:14,200 --> 02:52:16,280
and may the show continue for many years

5063
02:52:16,280 --> 02:52:16,660
to come.

5064
02:52:16,780 --> 02:52:18,120
Thank you both for keeping us sane in

5065
02:52:18,120 --> 02:52:19,160
this insane world.

5066
02:52:19,200 --> 02:52:20,700
In the morning, Tom Baird.

5067
02:52:20,960 --> 02:52:21,360
Baird.

5068
02:52:21,520 --> 02:52:22,460
Baird, I think it is.

5069
02:52:22,560 --> 02:52:24,280
Okay, Tom, I'm set for you.

5070
02:52:24,400 --> 02:52:24,880
Got that.

5071
02:52:25,020 --> 02:52:25,440
Ordered it.

5072
02:52:25,960 --> 02:52:28,580
I want to mention that Hillary sent us

5073
02:52:28,580 --> 02:52:29,820
a note from the...

5074
02:52:29,820 --> 02:52:33,120
It didn't have enough for mentioning, but there

5075
02:52:33,120 --> 02:52:35,740
was a donation that came in from the

5076
02:52:35,740 --> 02:52:38,280
Portland Slave Soiree.

5077
02:52:38,440 --> 02:52:38,540
Oh.

5078
02:52:39,380 --> 02:52:42,040
A couple of different donors helped us out.

5079
02:52:42,320 --> 02:52:42,700
Okay.

5080
02:52:43,680 --> 02:52:46,000
John Aaron's on the list, 100 bucks, thank

5081
02:52:46,000 --> 02:52:46,620
you for your courage.

5082
02:52:48,240 --> 02:52:49,120
Baron Lattican.

5083
02:52:49,240 --> 02:52:51,060
Hey, Baron Lattican, we haven't heard from him

5084
02:52:51,060 --> 02:52:52,780
for a while, I don't think, $100 from

5085
02:52:52,780 --> 02:52:53,960
Houston, Texas.

5086
02:52:53,960 --> 02:52:57,540
Chris Rink in Austin, Texas, $84.38, which

5087
02:52:57,540 --> 02:53:00,120
is a boob donation plus fees.

5088
02:53:00,520 --> 02:53:01,440
We'll have fees there.

5089
02:53:02,080 --> 02:53:04,440
Kevin McLaughlin, you know the fees, that's $4

5090
02:53:04,440 --> 02:53:05,320
in fees.

5091
02:53:06,260 --> 02:53:06,700
Checks.

5092
02:53:07,160 --> 02:53:07,600
Checks.

5093
02:53:07,680 --> 02:53:08,720
The fee is 15 cents.

5094
02:53:08,740 --> 02:53:10,280
15 cents, it's a good deal.

5095
02:53:10,940 --> 02:53:11,880
No matter what.

5096
02:53:12,140 --> 02:53:13,200
Good deal for everybody.

5097
02:53:14,080 --> 02:53:16,840
Yeah, Kevin McLaughlin, 8008, there he is, he's

5098
02:53:16,840 --> 02:53:17,180
the Archduke of Louisiana.

5099
02:53:17,180 --> 02:53:18,100
But let me ask you a question.

5100
02:53:18,280 --> 02:53:19,060
Let me ask you a question.

5101
02:53:19,060 --> 02:53:22,040
If someone sends in the donation plus fees,

5102
02:53:22,520 --> 02:53:24,440
doesn't part of the fee also get taken

5103
02:53:24,440 --> 02:53:25,080
as a fee?

5104
02:53:25,200 --> 02:53:26,040
Yeah, I think so.

5105
02:53:26,280 --> 02:53:26,920
Okay, just checking.

5106
02:53:27,260 --> 02:53:27,880
I don't know.

5107
02:53:28,020 --> 02:53:29,340
I mean, it's just, I'd have to look

5108
02:53:29,340 --> 02:53:30,480
at the math on that, but.

5109
02:53:30,640 --> 02:53:31,120
I'll bet it does.

5110
02:53:32,060 --> 02:53:33,380
Well, maybe, maybe not.

5111
02:53:33,460 --> 02:53:34,120
You don't know.

5112
02:53:35,440 --> 02:53:36,420
I don't know.

5113
02:53:36,520 --> 02:53:37,500
Maybe it doesn't.

5114
02:53:38,800 --> 02:53:40,480
I'm leaning toward it doesn't.

5115
02:53:40,560 --> 02:53:42,140
I think that covers it.

5116
02:53:42,980 --> 02:53:44,700
Because it would otherwise be ridiculous.

5117
02:53:44,700 --> 02:53:45,920
Oh, is there a button that says cover

5118
02:53:45,920 --> 02:53:46,420
the fees?

5119
02:53:47,120 --> 02:53:47,360
Yeah.

5120
02:53:47,540 --> 02:53:48,080
Oh, okay.

5121
02:53:48,080 --> 02:53:48,520
All right.

5122
02:53:48,580 --> 02:53:48,980
That's good.

5123
02:53:49,920 --> 02:53:50,020
Yeah.

5124
02:53:50,080 --> 02:53:51,820
So I don't think there's any more taken

5125
02:53:51,820 --> 02:53:52,100
out.

5126
02:53:52,240 --> 02:53:52,420
Yeah.

5127
02:53:52,740 --> 02:53:53,060
It's all right.

5128
02:53:53,100 --> 02:53:54,380
The tax man takes it out.

5129
02:53:55,680 --> 02:53:57,300
Somebody gets some extra money.

5130
02:53:57,440 --> 02:53:59,040
Somebody gets money and it's not us.

5131
02:53:59,040 --> 02:54:00,640
That'd be the U.S. government, eventually.

5132
02:54:01,040 --> 02:54:01,460
Doge.

5133
02:54:02,940 --> 02:54:03,820
Kevin McLaughlin.

5134
02:54:04,060 --> 02:54:05,920
He's the Archduke of Louisiana, lover of American

5135
02:54:05,920 --> 02:54:06,400
boobs.

5136
02:54:07,220 --> 02:54:09,500
Sir Lloyd is also in Winter Haven, Florida.

5137
02:54:09,700 --> 02:54:11,700
He also came with 8008.

5138
02:54:13,480 --> 02:54:15,800
He's an alumnus from a third-rate university.

5139
02:54:16,780 --> 02:54:17,080
Nice.

5140
02:54:17,960 --> 02:54:21,820
That's Ohio State, by the way.

5141
02:54:22,260 --> 02:54:24,520
It's not a third-rate university by any

5142
02:54:24,520 --> 02:54:26,920
means, but I said that, I think, on

5143
02:54:26,920 --> 02:54:29,260
some show and I'm getting ridiculed for it.

5144
02:54:29,440 --> 02:54:29,680
Forever.

5145
02:54:31,200 --> 02:54:31,460
Yeah.

5146
02:54:31,640 --> 02:54:31,860
Yeah.

5147
02:54:32,000 --> 02:54:34,840
Well, you know, compared to Cal Berkeley, maybe.

5148
02:54:36,580 --> 02:54:40,080
Jorge Alvarez in Ponte Verde Beach, 7171.

5149
02:54:40,180 --> 02:54:42,880
Craig Kohler in Evansville, Indiana, 6502.

5150
02:54:42,880 --> 02:54:45,520
That's a chip donation that is rare, but

5151
02:54:45,520 --> 02:54:47,380
people should think about giving that one in.

5152
02:54:47,700 --> 02:54:49,100
8080 would be another good one.

5153
02:54:49,880 --> 02:54:52,620
Jamie Buell in Vista, California, 6006.

5154
02:54:52,740 --> 02:54:53,200
Z80.

5155
02:54:53,300 --> 02:54:54,420
You can't donate that.

5156
02:54:55,240 --> 02:54:58,060
Les Tarkowski in Kingman, Arizona, 6006.

5157
02:54:58,100 --> 02:54:58,920
Those are small boobs.

5158
02:54:59,120 --> 02:55:01,500
Baroness Monica, 5757.

5159
02:55:02,300 --> 02:55:03,580
Wish it could be more.

5160
02:55:04,340 --> 02:55:06,140
She's someplace out of the country, I think.

5161
02:55:07,020 --> 02:55:10,760
Ezekiel Goodwin in Richmond, Kentucky, 5678.

5162
02:55:10,760 --> 02:55:11,840
Needs a de-douching.

5163
02:55:13,580 --> 02:55:15,280
You've been de-douched.

5164
02:55:15,900 --> 02:55:20,360
The Organic Hemp Society in Topanga, of all

5165
02:55:20,360 --> 02:55:22,840
places, California, 5333.

5166
02:55:23,500 --> 02:55:29,240
If you use the code CURRY33, you'll get

5167
02:55:29,240 --> 02:55:33,460
13.33% off of your hemp supplies.

5168
02:55:34,600 --> 02:55:36,360
Jaron Padden.

5169
02:55:36,360 --> 02:55:36,840
Jeroen.

5170
02:55:37,040 --> 02:55:37,920
Jeroen.

5171
02:55:37,980 --> 02:55:38,860
Jeroen.

5172
02:55:38,940 --> 02:55:40,240
Jeroen Pot.

5173
02:55:40,980 --> 02:55:46,320
In North Saffron, Essex, UK, 5272.

5174
02:55:46,680 --> 02:55:50,420
John Bossano in Madison, Alabama, 5272.

5175
02:55:50,500 --> 02:55:52,980
Those are actually donations of $50 plus the

5176
02:55:52,980 --> 02:55:53,640
fees.

5177
02:55:54,120 --> 02:55:56,420
Tony Lang in Castle Pines, Colorado, 50.

5178
02:55:56,520 --> 02:55:57,380
These are all 50s.

5179
02:55:57,420 --> 02:55:59,060
I'm gonna wrap it with 50s.

5180
02:55:59,320 --> 02:56:00,780
It's a short list, actually.

5181
02:56:01,680 --> 02:56:03,360
Tony Lang, Castle Pines.

5182
02:56:03,500 --> 02:56:07,240
Bobby Bowe in Bluegrass, Iowa.

5183
02:56:08,160 --> 02:56:12,280
Scott McCarty in Lodi, Jordan Tierney in Oral,

5184
02:56:12,700 --> 02:56:13,400
South Dakota.

5185
02:56:14,020 --> 02:56:15,780
Joshua Johnson in Omaha.

5186
02:56:16,400 --> 02:56:19,440
Leif Thompson in Meridian, Idaho.

5187
02:56:20,140 --> 02:56:22,260
Daniel LaBoi in Bath, Michigan.

5188
02:56:22,460 --> 02:56:25,040
Foster Birch in New York.

5189
02:56:25,580 --> 02:56:29,840
And Matt Frazee in St. John's, Florida.

5190
02:56:29,980 --> 02:56:31,560
I wanna thank these people for making the

5191
02:56:31,560 --> 02:56:35,240
show 1743 the show that it was, and

5192
02:56:35,240 --> 02:56:36,480
it's just gonna get better.

5193
02:56:36,480 --> 02:56:38,220
And thank you to everyone who came in

5194
02:56:38,220 --> 02:56:38,780
under $50.

5195
02:56:39,380 --> 02:56:41,400
They do that to stay anonymous, because we'll

5196
02:56:41,400 --> 02:56:42,540
never read it under $50.

5197
02:56:42,940 --> 02:56:44,800
And we also have people there who are

5198
02:56:44,800 --> 02:56:47,360
on the sustaining donations program, which we highly

5199
02:56:47,360 --> 02:56:48,000
appreciate.

5200
02:56:48,520 --> 02:56:49,480
All you have to do is go to

5201
02:56:49,480 --> 02:56:51,080
noagendadonations.com.

5202
02:56:51,140 --> 02:56:52,860
That's noagendadonations.com.

5203
02:56:53,100 --> 02:56:54,800
And set up a recurring donation.

5204
02:56:54,960 --> 02:56:56,340
Any amount, any frequency.

5205
02:56:56,440 --> 02:56:57,040
It's up to you.

5206
02:56:57,100 --> 02:56:57,960
It's value for value.

5207
02:56:58,060 --> 02:56:59,300
And we love you for it.

5208
02:57:00,220 --> 02:57:01,020
Noagendadonations.com.

5209
02:57:01,020 --> 02:57:06,520
It's just birthday, birthday on No Agenda.

5210
02:57:06,640 --> 02:57:07,640
And there he is.

5211
02:57:07,700 --> 02:57:09,280
Yesterday he celebrated his birthday.

5212
02:57:09,460 --> 02:57:12,060
Eli the Coffee Guy supports us every single

5213
02:57:12,060 --> 02:57:12,400
show.

5214
02:57:12,580 --> 02:57:15,720
Jeff Barich wishes his smoking hot wife Libby

5215
02:57:15,720 --> 02:57:16,620
a very happy birthday.

5216
02:57:16,760 --> 02:57:17,800
She celebrates tomorrow.

5217
02:57:17,940 --> 02:57:21,420
Rebecca Weintraub will be celebrating on March 4th.

5218
02:57:21,460 --> 02:57:23,500
Jason Sullivan also on March 4th.

5219
02:57:23,960 --> 02:57:26,100
And we have Sir Brian with an I

5220
02:57:26,100 --> 02:57:27,400
celebrating on March 4th.

5221
02:57:27,400 --> 02:57:29,680
And also our very own Dreb Scott.

5222
02:57:29,680 --> 02:57:31,760
Happy birthday to those awesome producers.

5223
02:57:32,280 --> 02:57:35,340
And Dave Clevenger will be turning 74 on

5224
02:57:35,340 --> 02:57:37,960
March 5th, which is also my sister Willow's

5225
02:57:37,960 --> 02:57:38,280
birthday.

5226
02:57:38,400 --> 02:57:40,120
So happy birthday to everybody from the best

5227
02:57:40,120 --> 02:57:41,720
podcast in the universe.

5228
02:57:43,540 --> 02:57:44,960
Two Commodores to bring up.

5229
02:57:45,080 --> 02:57:47,460
So I'd like to congratulate these two for

5230
02:57:47,460 --> 02:57:49,080
supporting the No Agenda show.

5231
02:57:49,640 --> 02:57:51,540
We have brand new Commodores.

5232
02:57:51,700 --> 02:57:55,440
Commodore Size and Commodore Sir Dude Name Ralph.

5233
02:57:55,660 --> 02:57:56,000
Yes.

5234
02:57:56,580 --> 02:57:57,220
Congratulations.

5235
02:57:57,460 --> 02:57:59,180
Go to noagenderings.com.

5236
02:57:59,180 --> 02:58:03,300
Check out the Commodore tab and send us

5237

5238
02:58:04,420 --> 02:58:05,940
Commodores arriving.

5239
02:58:06,660 --> 02:58:06,920
Woo.

5240
02:58:07,420 --> 02:58:09,480
Hey, three nights for us today, so that's

5241
02:58:09,480 --> 02:58:09,660
good.

5242
02:58:09,720 --> 02:58:11,060
We've got the Trident blade out.

5243
02:58:11,060 --> 02:58:11,740
I got a blade here.

5244
02:58:11,740 --> 02:58:12,720
That's a very good blade.

5245
02:58:13,220 --> 02:58:13,960
Come on up.

5246
02:58:14,280 --> 02:58:14,960
Ryan M.

5247
02:58:16,180 --> 02:58:17,060
Radar Rider.

5248
02:58:17,860 --> 02:58:19,480
And Tom Beard.

5249
02:58:19,920 --> 02:58:20,360
Beard.

5250
02:58:20,480 --> 02:58:20,860
Beard.

5251
02:58:21,020 --> 02:58:21,280
Beard.

5252
02:58:21,360 --> 02:58:22,700
All of you have supported the No Agenda

5253
02:58:22,700 --> 02:58:24,320
show in the amount of $1,000 or

5254
02:58:24,320 --> 02:58:24,480
more.

5255
02:58:24,480 --> 02:58:27,200
So I'm very proud to pronounce the KDS

5256
02:58:27,200 --> 02:58:28,820
Knight to the No Agenda roundtable.

5257
02:58:28,920 --> 02:58:29,660
Sir Wee G.

5258
02:58:29,860 --> 02:58:33,400
the Famous, Sir Radar Rider, and Sir Cooley

5259
02:58:33,400 --> 02:58:34,860
of Kruikenstocks.

5260
02:58:35,080 --> 02:58:36,640
For you, we have hookers of blow, red

5261
02:58:36,640 --> 02:58:39,040
poison, chardonnay, two tubes of both the salt

5262
02:58:39,040 --> 02:58:41,520
and pepper mix, brisket and bacon, gouda and

5263
02:58:41,520 --> 02:58:44,740
carlouse whiskey infused, tenlos frittai.

5264
02:58:44,940 --> 02:58:47,220
We also add to that some barn hits

5265
02:58:47,220 --> 02:58:49,620
of bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts, ginger ale

5266
02:58:49,620 --> 02:58:52,320
and gerbils, breast milk and babblum, and of

5267
02:58:52,320 --> 02:58:55,960
course, the ever-present mutton and mead.

5268
02:58:56,420 --> 02:58:58,180
All of you can also go to noagenderrings

5269
02:58:58,180 --> 02:59:00,680
.com and check out those handsome rings.

5270
02:59:01,040 --> 02:59:02,240
All you have to do is give us

5271
02:59:02,240 --> 02:59:02,960
your ring size.

5272
02:59:03,080 --> 02:59:05,420
There's a ring sizing guide at noagenderrings.com

5273
02:59:05,420 --> 02:59:06,480
and an address to send it to.

5274
02:59:06,560 --> 02:59:08,340
It comes with wax to seal your important

5275
02:59:08,340 --> 02:59:11,160
correspondence because they are signet rings and a

5276
02:59:11,160 --> 02:59:12,700
certificate of authenticity.

5277
02:59:12,700 --> 02:59:14,820
Once again, welcome to the roundtable.

5278
02:59:15,840 --> 02:59:18,880
No Agenda Meetups.

5279
02:59:20,540 --> 02:59:25,040
Yeah, man, the No Agenda Meetups, they are

5280
02:59:25,040 --> 02:59:26,960
something to behold.

5281
02:59:27,180 --> 02:59:28,700
You must go to one of these at

5282
02:59:28,700 --> 02:59:30,020
least once in your life and I guarantee

5283
02:59:30,020 --> 02:59:32,320
you, you will keep coming back because this

5284
02:59:32,320 --> 02:59:34,920
is where you get connection that provides protection.

5285
02:59:35,480 --> 02:59:37,000
Every single person you meet will be your

5286
02:59:37,000 --> 02:59:38,320
first responder in an emergency.

5287
02:59:38,540 --> 02:59:40,440
You go to noagendermeetups.com, that's where we

5288
02:59:40,440 --> 02:59:41,820
have the entire calendar.

5289
02:59:41,820 --> 02:59:42,700
You can add your own.

5290
02:59:42,780 --> 02:59:43,760
They're producer-organized.

5291
02:59:43,860 --> 02:59:44,860
They are a lot of fun.

5292
02:59:45,300 --> 02:59:46,800
And one of the biggest ones that has

5293
02:59:46,800 --> 02:59:49,200
been going on for many years now is

5294
02:59:49,200 --> 02:59:50,380
the Indie Meetup.

5295
02:59:50,640 --> 02:59:54,180
Here's Annette's mix of the February report.

5296
02:59:54,900 --> 02:59:56,220
Hello, this is Senator Mark.

5297
02:59:56,420 --> 02:59:58,700
And this is Dave Maria from Indianapolis.

5298
02:59:59,120 --> 03:00:00,080
We miss you, Annette.

5299
03:00:00,140 --> 03:00:01,180
We'll see you next month.

5300
03:00:01,460 --> 03:00:04,880
The theme for these 33 days, fire, fire

5301
03:00:04,880 --> 03:00:05,480
them all.

5302
03:00:05,960 --> 03:00:08,300
In the morning, not from Indianapolis, a bit

5303
03:00:08,300 --> 03:00:11,520
stuffy here, not woofloo, but Mike, this is

5304
03:00:11,520 --> 03:00:11,960
your spot.

5305
03:00:12,080 --> 03:00:12,960
Where are you?

5306
03:00:12,980 --> 03:00:15,080
Hey, this is Emily, your Shufflecrack spook.

5307
03:00:15,400 --> 03:00:18,340
And breaking news, I'm all out of beer.

5308
03:00:18,780 --> 03:00:21,400
Bruce here, just drinking some beer at the

5309
03:00:21,400 --> 03:00:22,160
Dugout.

5310
03:00:22,720 --> 03:00:23,620
Hey, it's Gary here.

5311
03:00:23,760 --> 03:00:25,580
I'm wondering, are they going to announce that

5312
03:00:25,580 --> 03:00:27,980
the Pope is dead before, during, or after

5313
03:00:27,980 --> 03:00:29,600
the Epstein-Lust reveal?

5314
03:00:29,900 --> 03:00:30,980
Hey, this is Carter.

5315
03:00:31,120 --> 03:00:33,420
First time to the Meetup.

5316
03:00:34,280 --> 03:00:36,600
Yeah, live here out of Nafganistan.

5317
03:00:37,060 --> 03:00:38,700
And I've got one thing to say, the

5318
03:00:38,700 --> 03:00:40,260
truth is stranger than fiction.

5319
03:00:40,260 --> 03:00:45,460
In the morning, RFK Jr., I had nachos

5320
03:00:45,460 --> 03:00:45,880
today.

5321
03:00:47,060 --> 03:00:48,880
Hi, I'm Lexi Julber.

5322
03:00:49,100 --> 03:00:52,560
I served the No Agenda folks today at

5323
03:00:52,560 --> 03:00:55,220
the Dugout in downtown Indy, and so far

5324
03:00:55,220 --> 03:00:56,320
it's been a great time.

5325
03:00:56,580 --> 03:01:00,820
In the morning, long live the king.

5326
03:01:02,020 --> 03:01:03,120
I love it.

5327
03:01:03,200 --> 03:01:04,360
Where is our Zelensky guy?

5328
03:01:05,020 --> 03:01:06,060
Hi, I didn't hear him.

5329
03:01:06,120 --> 03:01:06,760
He wasn't there.

5330
03:01:06,860 --> 03:01:09,620
We missed the Zelensky impersonator.

5331
03:01:10,720 --> 03:01:11,140
Disappointing.

5332
03:01:11,840 --> 03:01:14,320
Don't worry, everyone else in these reports imitates

5333
03:01:14,320 --> 03:01:14,860
somebody.

5334
03:01:14,960 --> 03:01:15,580
Not sure who.

5335
03:01:15,680 --> 03:01:18,220
Here's Leo Bravo's 60th Meetup he's done in

5336
03:01:18,220 --> 03:01:18,880
Los Angeles.

5337
03:01:19,140 --> 03:01:19,760
Hi, everybody.

5338
03:01:19,900 --> 03:01:20,540
It's Leo Bravo.

5339
03:01:20,720 --> 03:01:21,660
We're at Meetup number 60.

5340
03:01:21,780 --> 03:01:23,940
I'm passing the phone around for everyone to

5341
03:01:23,940 --> 03:01:24,320
say hello.

5342
03:01:24,740 --> 03:01:25,080
Hello.

5343
03:01:25,460 --> 03:01:26,160
This is Greta.

5344
03:01:27,240 --> 03:01:29,640
Thank you to Leo for hosting these meetups.

5345
03:01:29,760 --> 03:01:30,400
We love you.

5346
03:01:31,660 --> 03:01:33,300
And, you know, we are a family of

5347
03:01:33,300 --> 03:01:36,280
four who know agendas together, so it's been

5348
03:01:36,280 --> 03:01:37,740
the best thing that's ever happened to us.

5349
03:01:37,740 --> 03:01:40,740
And I just want to say, John, I'd

5350
03:01:40,740 --> 03:01:42,980
never heard of RSV either until 2021, and

5351
03:01:42,980 --> 03:01:44,480
I've been a mother since 2011.

5352
03:01:45,400 --> 03:01:46,680
Hi, this is Tommy.

5353
03:01:46,900 --> 03:01:49,500
This is my third meetup.

5354
03:01:49,620 --> 03:01:51,320
I want to say thank you very much

5355
03:01:51,320 --> 03:01:52,600
for continuing the show.

5356
03:01:52,820 --> 03:01:55,360
We watch it every day and we love

5357
03:01:55,360 --> 03:01:55,660
it.

5358
03:01:55,720 --> 03:01:56,740
Every day, twice a week.

5359
03:01:58,120 --> 03:01:59,860
Well, I try and listen to it every

5360
03:01:59,860 --> 03:02:00,000
day.

5361
03:02:00,340 --> 03:02:00,760
Hi.

5362
03:02:01,660 --> 03:02:03,580
I'm really grateful for the show.

5363
03:02:04,220 --> 03:02:05,520
My name is Devil Angel.

5364
03:02:05,520 --> 03:02:07,880
I loved your...

5365
03:02:07,880 --> 03:02:09,780
John, I loved your remark about Jimmy and

5366
03:02:09,780 --> 03:02:10,260
the bats.

5367
03:02:10,460 --> 03:02:12,320
It made me and my brother crack up

5368
03:02:12,320 --> 03:02:14,140
very much, so just keep doing what you

5369
03:02:14,140 --> 03:02:14,640
guys are doing.

5370
03:02:14,900 --> 03:02:15,400
Thank you.

5371
03:02:15,900 --> 03:02:16,420
In the morning.

5372
03:02:16,980 --> 03:02:17,900
In the morning.

5373
03:02:18,160 --> 03:02:18,820
This is Brian.

5374
03:02:19,080 --> 03:02:19,980
Connection is protection.

5375
03:02:20,420 --> 03:02:20,800
Thanks.

5376
03:02:21,580 --> 03:02:22,260
Nice event.

5377
03:02:22,540 --> 03:02:23,460
Good conversations.

5378
03:02:23,800 --> 03:02:25,580
And this won't happen in the morning.

5379
03:02:26,000 --> 03:02:26,440
Hey, guys.

5380
03:02:26,480 --> 03:02:28,240
This is Slick Rick having a good time

5381
03:02:28,240 --> 03:02:31,020
here with Leo Bravo and the gang in

5382
03:02:31,020 --> 03:02:31,320
the morning.

5383
03:02:31,580 --> 03:02:32,980
In the morning, this is Angie from The

5384
03:02:32,980 --> 03:02:35,080
Ranch enjoying the sun in Southern California.

5385
03:02:35,080 --> 03:02:37,080
It's Sir Lee Kim Full Pop here in

5386
03:02:37,080 --> 03:02:39,080
SoCal where it's still fun being an illegal

5387
03:02:39,080 --> 03:02:39,560
alien.

5388
03:02:39,820 --> 03:02:41,100
In the morning.

5389
03:02:41,940 --> 03:02:44,040
John, popular with the kids there.

5390
03:02:44,560 --> 03:02:45,280
That's really cool.

5391
03:02:45,640 --> 03:02:46,280
The kids love you.

5392
03:02:47,460 --> 03:02:49,540
Central Ohio, come on in with your report.

5393
03:02:49,740 --> 03:02:50,680
I'm not producing it.

5394
03:02:50,760 --> 03:02:52,380
This is just what's playing in the background.

5395
03:02:52,600 --> 03:02:55,200
This is Wild Bill with the Central Ohio

5396
03:02:55,200 --> 03:02:55,600
meetup.

5397
03:02:55,840 --> 03:02:57,200
Thanks for doing what you guys do.

5398
03:02:58,480 --> 03:03:00,620
And here we go to the next.

5399
03:03:01,020 --> 03:03:02,920
In the morning, bag slappers.

5400
03:03:03,520 --> 03:03:04,920
John and Adam, we need to get you

5401
03:03:04,920 --> 03:03:06,940
both on Who Are These podcasts as soon

5402
03:03:06,940 --> 03:03:07,660
as possible.

5403
03:03:07,980 --> 03:03:09,660
And you got to get on this little

5404
03:03:09,660 --> 03:03:09,980
piggy.

5405
03:03:10,300 --> 03:03:11,820
It'll be another win for the toe.

5406
03:03:12,560 --> 03:03:13,460
ITM, gentlemen.

5407
03:03:13,680 --> 03:03:15,420
This is Sir Rod, the one who parties

5408
03:03:15,420 --> 03:03:17,480
the night of Crocs and socks.

5409
03:03:18,220 --> 03:03:20,280
Linda Lou and Eli the coffee guy are

5410
03:03:20,280 --> 03:03:20,580
great.

5411
03:03:20,920 --> 03:03:22,580
But Kevin McLaughlin is a legend.

5412
03:03:23,100 --> 03:03:24,800
Well, this is Sir Leary.

5413
03:03:26,160 --> 03:03:28,900
I really like this podcast that you guys

5414
03:03:28,900 --> 03:03:29,180
do.

5415
03:03:29,360 --> 03:03:29,960
It's great.

5416
03:03:30,060 --> 03:03:30,700
It's phenomenal.

5417
03:03:31,360 --> 03:03:32,200
Keep at it.

5418
03:03:32,200 --> 03:03:34,580
I would say four more years, but don't

5419
03:03:34,580 --> 03:03:36,980
put a time span on perfection.

5420
03:03:38,140 --> 03:03:40,140
Also, John, since we're in Columbus and we

5421
03:03:40,140 --> 03:03:45,080
heard you're now complaining about Columbus people not

5422
03:03:45,080 --> 03:03:48,660
sending in a national championship sweatshirt.

5423
03:03:49,040 --> 03:03:50,280
We got you covered.

5424
03:03:50,480 --> 03:03:51,100
Don't worry.

5425
03:03:51,380 --> 03:03:53,140
I know there's a bunch of anonymous people

5426
03:03:53,140 --> 03:03:54,840
out there that don't come to the meetups,

5427
03:03:54,860 --> 03:03:56,520
but talk to y'all later.

5428
03:03:56,700 --> 03:03:58,320
So how many did you get?

5429
03:03:58,400 --> 03:04:00,260
How many hoodies or sweatshirts?

5430
03:04:00,260 --> 03:04:02,760
I've received one thus far, but I think

5431
03:04:02,760 --> 03:04:04,340
there's two or three more on the way.

5432
03:04:04,560 --> 03:04:05,820
Oh, I'm so happy for you.

5433
03:04:05,920 --> 03:04:07,100
Final meetup report.

5434
03:04:07,180 --> 03:04:07,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

5435
03:04:07,840 --> 03:04:09,080
I don't buy clothes.

5436
03:04:09,260 --> 03:04:14,360
The final meter report, meaning the final meter

5437
03:04:14,360 --> 03:04:16,640
report comes from San Francisco.

5438
03:04:16,860 --> 03:04:18,360
John couldn't make this one because he has

5439
03:04:18,360 --> 03:04:19,380
family dinners on Friday.

5440
03:04:19,820 --> 03:04:21,740
This is the Duke of San Francisco's birthday

5441
03:04:21,740 --> 03:04:23,580
bash meetup in the morning.

5442
03:04:23,580 --> 03:04:26,760
This is Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve at the

5443
03:04:26,760 --> 03:04:31,320
Duke of SF birthday meetup bash, and unfortunately

5444
03:04:31,320 --> 03:04:33,120
it's family night for JCD.

5445
03:04:33,520 --> 03:04:36,700
Sir Robertson of Two Sticks here, and happy

5446
03:04:36,700 --> 03:04:37,480
birthday, Ben.

5447
03:04:37,860 --> 03:04:39,400
Sir Montauk having a great time in San

5448
03:04:39,400 --> 03:04:39,740
Francisco.

5449
03:04:40,380 --> 03:04:42,760
This is Sir Lavish behind the schemes.

5450
03:04:42,860 --> 03:04:45,320
Happy birthday, Sir Ben, Sir Ben, Sir Ben.

5451
03:04:45,420 --> 03:04:45,900
Oh, I'm sorry.

5452
03:04:46,080 --> 03:04:46,760
Duke Ben.

5453
03:04:47,160 --> 03:04:48,320
Happy birthday, sir.

5454
03:04:48,320 --> 03:04:51,100
This is a dude named Ben Basch, or

5455
03:04:51,100 --> 03:04:54,920
is it Lai Chow, from Daly City, LCDC.

5456
03:04:55,920 --> 03:04:57,900
In the morning, this is Sir Lawrence of

5457
03:04:57,900 --> 03:04:58,520
Dystopia.

5458
03:04:59,800 --> 03:05:03,400
You are the Duke, Duke of San Francisco.

5459
03:05:05,820 --> 03:05:08,660
All right, this is the Duke, dude named

5460
03:05:08,660 --> 03:05:12,920
Ben, named Ben, Commodore of the SF Fleet.

5461
03:05:13,460 --> 03:05:16,520
We are bringing all the Commodores together to

5462
03:05:16,520 --> 03:05:20,520
defend the Bay Area Fleet for the Tahoe

5463
03:05:20,520 --> 03:05:25,960
Secret Underground Submarine Base that must be protected.

5464
03:05:26,740 --> 03:05:27,300
Woohoo!

5465
03:05:27,600 --> 03:05:29,040
This is Sir Julian, Baron of the Santa

5466
03:05:29,040 --> 03:05:29,700
Cruz Mountains.

5467
03:05:30,340 --> 03:05:32,580
Made it up from Santa Cruz.

5468
03:05:33,000 --> 03:05:34,800
Hope you guys make it next time.

5469
03:05:34,880 --> 03:05:35,840
Everyone's missing out.

5470
03:05:36,280 --> 03:05:37,340
And that's a long drive.

5471
03:05:37,560 --> 03:05:38,700
In the morning!

5472
03:05:39,380 --> 03:05:40,620
Hey, here's a little tip for those of

5473
03:05:40,620 --> 03:05:42,140
you putting together these meetup reports.

5474
03:05:42,140 --> 03:05:44,440
Try and get people to record before they

5475
03:05:44,440 --> 03:05:44,840
drink.

5476
03:05:45,120 --> 03:05:46,580
It helps with the editing.

5477
03:05:46,840 --> 03:05:48,100
I have to do a lot of edits

5478
03:05:48,100 --> 03:05:49,380
on these things sometimes.

5479
03:05:50,040 --> 03:05:52,840
Currently underway in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Meeting

5480
03:05:52,840 --> 03:05:54,800

5481
03:05:55,020 --> 03:05:57,600

And the Mount Holly Hypophora Hootenanny, also underway

Tilburg, the Netherlands.

5502
03:06:51,160 --> 03:06:53,140
We just heard one of our supporters coming

5503
03:06:53,140 --> 03:06:54,060
from Tilburg.

5504
03:06:54,340 --> 03:06:55,560
And those are just a few of the

5505
03:06:55,560 --> 03:06:56,920
meetups that you can find on the calendar

5506
03:06:56,920 --> 03:06:58,580
at noagendameetups.com.

5507
03:06:58,680 --> 03:06:59,320
Go there.

5508
03:06:59,780 --> 03:07:00,620
Look up your town.

5509
03:07:00,740 --> 03:07:01,620
Look up your zip code.

5510
03:07:01,700 --> 03:07:03,500
If you can't find anything near you, start

5511
03:07:03,500 --> 03:07:04,220
one yourself.

5512
03:07:04,220 --> 03:07:05,760
They're always a party.

5513
03:07:25,620 --> 03:07:27,280
It's always like a party.

5514
03:07:27,380 --> 03:07:29,200
We have some good end of show mixes

5515
03:07:29,200 --> 03:07:29,980
coming up for you.

5516
03:07:30,100 --> 03:07:31,560
Also, we have John's tip of the day.

5517
03:07:31,980 --> 03:07:35,300
And I wish I could say that I

5518
03:07:35,300 --> 03:07:37,520
had an ISO to compete with, but I

5519
03:07:37,520 --> 03:07:38,200
have nothing today.

5520
03:07:38,320 --> 03:07:39,440
I don't know how that happened.

5521
03:07:39,540 --> 03:07:40,280
I thought I had some.

5522
03:07:40,340 --> 03:07:40,920
I know how it happened.

5523
03:07:41,020 --> 03:07:41,680
You're giving up.

5524
03:07:42,180 --> 03:07:43,020
I'm not giving up.

5525
03:07:43,160 --> 03:07:43,940
It's just sometimes.

5526
03:07:43,960 --> 03:07:45,260
You threw your arms in the air.

5527
03:07:45,640 --> 03:07:47,220
And partied like I didn't care.

5528
03:07:47,440 --> 03:07:47,960
You have two.

5529
03:07:48,060 --> 03:07:49,640
Which one are we going to choose from

5530
03:07:49,640 --> 03:07:49,940
today?

5531
03:07:50,460 --> 03:07:51,900
Well, let's start with suit.

5532
03:07:52,200 --> 03:07:53,180
Why don't you wear a suit?

5533
03:07:54,620 --> 03:07:55,640
A little roomy.

5534
03:07:55,660 --> 03:07:56,640
A little roomy-boomy.

5535
03:07:57,560 --> 03:07:57,920
Okay.

5536
03:07:57,980 --> 03:07:59,160
Well, this one definitely isn't.

5537
03:07:59,160 --> 03:08:00,860
This is a crystal clear.

5538
03:08:02,120 --> 03:08:03,620
Wow, that was great.

5539
03:08:03,800 --> 03:08:04,800
I can't compete.

5540
03:08:04,900 --> 03:08:05,600
That's the problem.

5541
03:08:05,960 --> 03:08:07,220
Wow, that was great.

5542
03:08:07,320 --> 03:08:09,200
That's just a great end of show ISO.

5543
03:08:09,420 --> 03:08:11,100
There's no way I can compete with that

5544
03:08:11,100 --> 03:08:11,400
stuff.

5545
03:08:11,640 --> 03:08:12,880
Why do I even show up?

5546
03:08:12,900 --> 03:08:14,260
You should just do the show yourself.

5547
03:08:14,540 --> 03:08:15,240
Four more years.

5548
03:08:15,860 --> 03:08:16,260
JCD.

5549
03:08:16,480 --> 03:08:18,680
And now, everybody, it's time for the highlight

5550
03:08:18,680 --> 03:08:20,320
of the show, and it's John's tip of

5551
03:08:20,320 --> 03:08:20,760
the day.

5552
03:08:30,200 --> 03:08:31,840
Okay, first of all, I'm going to do

5553
03:08:31,840 --> 03:08:33,740
a little clarification on the last tip.

5554
03:08:34,900 --> 03:08:37,080
There's a number of factors that took place

5555
03:08:37,080 --> 03:08:39,740
when I recommended Zeus, the Greek season.

5556
03:08:39,880 --> 03:08:39,980
Oh, yes.

5557
03:08:40,140 --> 03:08:40,420
Yeah.

5558
03:08:40,480 --> 03:08:42,340
There was some pronunciation issues.

5559
03:08:42,920 --> 03:08:46,420
And it's like Tony C's is pronounced sashary,

5560
03:08:46,680 --> 03:08:48,460
sashary, Tony sashary.

5561
03:08:48,460 --> 03:08:49,540
People were mad.

5562
03:08:49,760 --> 03:08:50,900
People were mad.

5563
03:08:51,240 --> 03:08:52,760
I wasn't pronouncing it correctly.

5564
03:08:52,900 --> 03:08:54,060
Like James Carville called.

5565
03:08:54,060 --> 03:08:54,500
And then I was correct.

5566
03:08:54,700 --> 03:08:57,100
And by the way, the Tony C's seasoning

5567
03:08:57,100 --> 03:08:58,280
was not the tip of the day.

5568
03:08:58,360 --> 03:08:59,680
It was just a pass-through.

5569
03:09:00,460 --> 03:09:02,440
But they mentioned, I guess, the one that

5570
03:09:02,440 --> 03:09:06,940
people, if you really have Louisiana in or

5571
03:09:06,940 --> 03:09:09,940
whatever you call yourselves, you want Slap-Yo

5572
03:09:09,940 --> 03:09:12,400
Mama, which is the other seasoning.

5573
03:09:12,780 --> 03:09:13,940
I've never seen it, by the way.

5574
03:09:13,940 --> 03:09:15,200
I've never seen Slap-Yo Mama.

5575
03:09:15,580 --> 03:09:17,140
But that's supposed to be a kind of

5576
03:09:17,140 --> 03:09:23,240
usurped Tony C's somewhat, especially amongst the Louisianans

5577
03:09:23,240 --> 03:09:25,040
who are out of the state and they

5578
03:09:25,040 --> 03:09:27,480
picked Slap-Yo Mama as the one to

5579
03:09:27,480 --> 03:09:27,580
do.

5580
03:09:27,640 --> 03:09:30,240
And then another woman wrote in with a

5581
03:09:30,240 --> 03:09:33,020
recipe for Tony C's because she doesn't like

5582
03:09:33,020 --> 03:09:34,940
the fact that it has MSG in it.

5583
03:09:35,600 --> 03:09:36,440
But okay.

5584
03:09:37,180 --> 03:09:42,460
That said, the question remains, Adam was stunned

5585
03:09:42,460 --> 03:09:45,660
that I had picked a proprietary seasoning.

5586
03:09:45,820 --> 03:09:46,920
And why did I do that?

5587
03:09:47,260 --> 03:09:48,600
I thought you made your own.

5588
03:09:48,800 --> 03:09:49,500
Well, here's the deal.

5589
03:09:50,020 --> 03:09:51,320
Oh, here's the deal, everybody.

5590
03:09:51,480 --> 03:09:52,000
Okay, Biden.

5591
03:09:52,000 --> 03:09:52,360
Here's the deal.

5592
03:09:52,460 --> 03:09:52,920
Okay, Joe.

5593
03:09:54,440 --> 03:09:55,320
No joke.

5594
03:09:56,940 --> 03:09:59,020
So there are a lot of these things.

5595
03:09:59,100 --> 03:10:01,160
When I travel, I usually go to the

5596
03:10:01,160 --> 03:10:03,080
grocery stores in various areas and I look

5597
03:10:03,080 --> 03:10:06,680
for these proprietary seasonings, the hamburger seasoning, the

5598
03:10:06,680 --> 03:10:08,840
chicken jerk seasoning, all these different ones that

5599
03:10:08,840 --> 03:10:09,820
are pre-made.

5600
03:10:10,200 --> 03:10:11,880
Costco usually has a bunch of them.

5601
03:10:12,260 --> 03:10:14,560
They have a salt substitute from Kirkland right

5602
03:10:14,560 --> 03:10:15,560
now that's quite good.

5603
03:10:15,680 --> 03:10:16,560
It's a big thing.

5604
03:10:16,680 --> 03:10:17,960
It's just a bunch of herbs.

5605
03:10:18,160 --> 03:10:18,780
What's it made of?

5606
03:10:19,860 --> 03:10:21,500
Everything it seems to be in there, but

5607
03:10:21,500 --> 03:10:24,140
there's no wheat or anything that's bad.

5608
03:10:24,140 --> 03:10:25,240
What's wrong with just salt?

5609
03:10:27,750 --> 03:10:29,790
I'm going to finish my little exposition here,

5610
03:10:29,990 --> 03:10:33,690
which is the reason I even look at

5611
03:10:33,690 --> 03:10:35,890
these things or try them is because after

5612
03:10:35,890 --> 03:10:38,350
you're cooking for, you know, 50 years or

5613
03:10:38,350 --> 03:10:40,290
how long or ever long I've been cooking

5614
03:10:40,290 --> 03:10:43,630
for since college, you get sick of your

5615
03:10:43,630 --> 03:10:46,010
own food and you have to...

5616
03:10:46,010 --> 03:10:48,870
So you take these proprietary seasonings and instead

5617
03:10:48,870 --> 03:10:51,050
of making the steak the same old way

5618
03:10:51,050 --> 03:10:53,390
you've been making it for decade after decade,

5619
03:10:53,710 --> 03:10:56,250
no, you try somebody else's idea and you

5620
03:10:56,250 --> 03:10:58,290
dump their stuff on your steak and see

5621
03:10:58,290 --> 03:10:59,070
what it tastes like.

5622
03:10:59,070 --> 03:11:01,190
And so you try...

5623
03:11:01,190 --> 03:11:03,630
So I'm always looking for, like, for example,

5624
03:11:03,850 --> 03:11:06,950
Astor used to have the steak seasoning from

5625
03:11:06,950 --> 03:11:09,310
the Winn-Dixie stores down in the South.

5626
03:11:09,810 --> 03:11:12,950
They used to have this unbelievable steak seasoning

5627
03:11:12,950 --> 03:11:14,690
that I was using all the time because

5628
03:11:14,690 --> 03:11:17,650
it was just a perfect blend of spices,

5629
03:11:17,850 --> 03:11:18,750
herbs, salt and pepper.

5630
03:11:19,510 --> 03:11:21,510
But I've always trying these things out.

5631
03:11:21,590 --> 03:11:23,970
So I'm constantly on the lookout for this

5632
03:11:23,970 --> 03:11:24,630
sort of thing.

5633
03:11:24,690 --> 03:11:26,490
Can I just add one thing?

5634
03:11:26,530 --> 03:11:27,950
To vary my tastes.

5635
03:11:27,950 --> 03:11:29,810
Can I add one thing to your seasoning

5636
03:11:29,810 --> 03:11:30,390
talk?

5637
03:11:31,230 --> 03:11:31,470
Yeah.

5638
03:11:33,550 --> 03:11:35,930
Tina found out that when she does a

5639
03:11:35,930 --> 03:11:39,130
tri-tip, she loves doing a rub that

5640
03:11:39,130 --> 03:11:44,350
she makes herself, which includes espresso from gigawattcoffeeroasters

5641
03:11:44,350 --> 03:11:44,970
.com.

5642
03:11:45,350 --> 03:11:46,890
Yeah, a lot of people use coffee in

5643
03:11:46,890 --> 03:11:47,250
their rub.

5644
03:11:47,790 --> 03:11:48,270
It's...

5645
03:11:48,270 --> 03:11:49,730
Yes, it's very good.

5646
03:11:49,890 --> 03:11:50,790
It's very, very good.

5647
03:11:50,850 --> 03:11:52,370
With a little bit of brown sugar just

5648
03:11:52,370 --> 03:11:53,270
to make it even better.

5649
03:11:53,610 --> 03:11:54,310
It's perfect.

5650
03:11:55,610 --> 03:11:56,190
All right.

5651
03:11:56,210 --> 03:11:57,290
What's your tip of the day today?

5652
03:11:57,290 --> 03:12:00,050
Well, again, it's another proprietary product.

5653
03:12:00,130 --> 03:12:01,850
But I have to plug this thing before

5654
03:12:01,850 --> 03:12:02,290
I forget.

5655
03:12:02,470 --> 03:12:04,510
And it also gives me a moment to

5656
03:12:04,510 --> 03:12:05,510
complain about Amazon.

5657
03:12:07,950 --> 03:12:09,290
This is a...

5658
03:12:09,290 --> 03:12:11,190
One of the hot sauce providers out there

5659
03:12:11,190 --> 03:12:12,270
is called Melinda's.

5660
03:12:13,130 --> 03:12:14,490
And Melinda, you can go to the...

5661
03:12:14,490 --> 03:12:16,430
You look at Melinda Hot Sauces and it's

5662
03:12:16,430 --> 03:12:17,970
online and you can find their store.

5663
03:12:18,070 --> 03:12:19,050
You can go to there and you can

5664
03:12:19,050 --> 03:12:20,250
buy directly from them.

5665
03:12:21,130 --> 03:12:24,070
Now, Melinda, the one product which you find,

5666
03:12:24,290 --> 03:12:26,510
they also have distribution in grocery stores.

5667
03:12:26,510 --> 03:12:30,330
But to find this particular one, Melinda's Fire

5668
03:12:30,330 --> 03:12:35,230
Roasted Jalapeno Sauce, which is a mild...

5669
03:12:35,230 --> 03:12:35,630
It's not...

5670
03:12:35,630 --> 03:12:38,550
It's like out of five, you know, fire

5671
03:12:38,550 --> 03:12:39,590
engines, it'd be two.

5672
03:12:39,770 --> 03:12:40,410
It's a very...

5673
03:12:41,110 --> 03:12:43,630
It's a version of Salsa Verde, to be

5674
03:12:43,630 --> 03:12:44,310
honest about it.

5675
03:12:44,570 --> 03:12:45,830
I make Salsa Verde myself.

5676
03:12:46,010 --> 03:12:48,590
But there's something about this particular blend, this

5677
03:12:48,590 --> 03:12:50,910
Fire Roasted Jalapeno from Melinda.

5678
03:12:51,190 --> 03:12:55,490
It's almost addictive and it goes on everything.

5679
03:12:56,910 --> 03:12:59,690
Breakfast, eggs, it goes on hash browns, it

5680
03:12:59,690 --> 03:13:01,890
goes on steak, it goes on chicken.

5681
03:13:02,490 --> 03:13:03,730
It's so good.

5682
03:13:03,810 --> 03:13:05,530
There's not anybody in the family that's ever

5683
03:13:05,530 --> 03:13:07,670
had this stuff that doesn't agree that this

5684
03:13:07,670 --> 03:13:09,270
stuff is borderline addictive.

5685
03:13:10,250 --> 03:13:11,430
It's that good.

5686
03:13:11,690 --> 03:13:14,070
And all their hot sauces are good and

5687
03:13:14,070 --> 03:13:16,870
they come in a nice reusable bottle that

5688
03:13:16,870 --> 03:13:17,990
you could use for other things.

5689
03:13:18,130 --> 03:13:19,550
If you wanted to figure out how to

5690
03:13:19,550 --> 03:13:21,090
wash it out, you need a bottle brush.

5691
03:13:21,430 --> 03:13:22,450
That's the tip of the day, too.

5692
03:13:22,470 --> 03:13:23,550
Get a bottle brush, everybody.

5693
03:13:26,290 --> 03:13:27,550
So, Melinda's Fire...

5694
03:13:27,550 --> 03:13:28,990
Now, here's what I was going to complain

5695
03:13:28,990 --> 03:13:29,310
about.

5696
03:13:29,970 --> 03:13:31,590
You can go to their site and you

5697
03:13:31,590 --> 03:13:32,810
can order a bunch of stuff and you

5698
03:13:32,810 --> 03:13:34,730
have to buy 25 or 50 bucks worth

5699
03:13:34,730 --> 03:13:37,150
of hot sauces to get the free shipping.

5700
03:13:37,510 --> 03:13:38,850
Or you can go to Amazon and they

5701
03:13:38,850 --> 03:13:41,030
have it on Amazon, free shipping.

5702
03:13:41,690 --> 03:13:44,610
It's $6.95 for a bottle of the

5703
03:13:44,610 --> 03:13:46,230
big bottle, it's a big bottle, of this

5704
03:13:46,230 --> 03:13:47,170
stuff on the website.

5705
03:13:47,330 --> 03:13:49,570
It's $10.95 on Amazon.

5706
03:13:49,570 --> 03:13:52,370
Why is Amazon jacking up the price by

5707
03:13:52,370 --> 03:13:53,030
$4?

5708
03:13:53,750 --> 03:13:56,510
Because the free shipping's a scam when it

5709
03:13:56,510 --> 03:13:58,330
comes to a lot of products on Amazon.

5710
03:13:58,810 --> 03:14:00,390
I am going to send in a complaint

5711
03:14:00,390 --> 03:14:01,910
and I wish other people would do the

5712
03:14:01,910 --> 03:14:04,770
same thing to the Federal Trade Commission complaining

5713
03:14:04,770 --> 03:14:05,650
about this.

5714
03:14:06,310 --> 03:14:08,870
Oh, can you give us a template complaint

5715
03:14:08,870 --> 03:14:09,370
letter?

5716
03:14:10,430 --> 03:14:11,750
I could make one and put it in

5717
03:14:11,750 --> 03:14:12,230
the newsletter.

5718
03:14:12,390 --> 03:14:13,770
I think that's a grand idea.

5719
03:14:13,930 --> 03:14:14,770
I think that's very good.

5720
03:14:14,950 --> 03:14:16,290
Because it seems to me that this is

5721
03:14:16,290 --> 03:14:17,110
not right.

5722
03:14:17,110 --> 03:14:19,850
They're offering you pay, you pay a fortune

5723
03:14:19,850 --> 03:14:21,830
nowadays, it used to be 75 bucks, now

5724
03:14:21,830 --> 03:14:24,330
it's over $100, to get the free shipping

5725
03:14:24,330 --> 03:14:26,770
Amazon Prime and they jacked the price up

5726
03:14:26,770 --> 03:14:28,550
by $4, which is what you'd have to

5727
03:14:28,550 --> 03:14:30,830
pay if you bought it directly from Melinda's.

5728
03:14:30,930 --> 03:14:32,810
Hey Bob, what's all these letters from some

5729
03:14:32,810 --> 03:14:33,290
podcast?

5730
03:14:34,090 --> 03:14:35,570
I don't know, I don't know man.

5731
03:14:36,070 --> 03:14:37,770
Oh there it is everybody, if you want

5732
03:14:37,770 --> 03:14:39,290
to eat well, if you want the right

5733
03:14:39,290 --> 03:14:41,370
things in your mouth, you listen to John

5734
03:14:41,370 --> 03:14:41,650
C.

5735
03:14:41,890 --> 03:14:44,450
Dvorak's Tip of the Day, tipoftheday.net, noagendafund

5736
03:14:44,450 --> 03:14:45,070
.com.

5737
03:14:47,110 --> 03:14:49,930
You and me, just the two of us,

5738
03:14:50,090 --> 03:14:51,190
JC D.

5739
03:14:51,690 --> 03:14:55,450
And sometimes Adam, created by Dana Brunetti.

5740
03:14:55,590 --> 03:14:56,950
Yeah, there you go, that's it.

5741
03:14:57,470 --> 03:14:59,690
And as we end our broadcast day, we

5742
03:14:59,690 --> 03:15:03,210
see President Zelensky doing the class photo with

5743
03:15:03,210 --> 03:15:06,130
all the European leaders, and the caption reads,

5744
03:15:06,470 --> 03:15:08,130
ready to do the minerals deal.

5745
03:15:08,410 --> 03:15:08,870
Okay.

5746
03:15:09,330 --> 03:15:11,390
Yeah, they should be standing on a box,

5747
03:15:11,470 --> 03:15:11,850
I hope.

5748
03:15:12,510 --> 03:15:14,390
We shall see, we shall see.

5749
03:15:15,450 --> 03:15:18,050
If everything goes well with the connectivity, we

5750
03:15:18,050 --> 03:15:22,450
have a live fictional Battle of the Fictional

5751
03:15:23,190 --> 03:15:26,390
Douchebags with Lavish Pfeiffer, Sir Spencer and Sir

5752
03:15:26,390 --> 03:15:28,730
Seatsitter coming up next, which is always fun.

5753
03:15:29,970 --> 03:15:32,430
It's a hootenanny with all those kids get

5754
03:15:32,430 --> 03:15:35,090
together, if they can connect, we hope so.

5755
03:15:35,730 --> 03:15:37,770
And end of show mixes coming to you

5756
03:15:37,770 --> 03:15:41,470
today from Sir Scovey, Tom Starkweather, the melodious

5757
03:15:41,470 --> 03:15:44,490
owl himself, and a nice fun little AI

5758
03:15:44,490 --> 03:15:46,530
ditty from DJ Walker Techno.

5759
03:15:46,650 --> 03:15:47,890
Coming to you from the heart of the

5760
03:15:47,890 --> 03:15:50,510
Texas Hill Country, right here in Fredericksburg.

5761
03:15:50,530 --> 03:15:52,570
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

5762
03:15:52,810 --> 03:15:54,650
And I'm from Northern Silicon Valley, and for

5763
03:15:54,650 --> 03:15:57,450
the Oscars, I'll be eating chicken amole.

5764
03:15:58,290 --> 03:15:58,990
I'm John C.

5765
03:15:59,070 --> 03:15:59,450
Dvorak.

5766
03:15:59,510 --> 03:16:01,610
And we'll be rooting for the Pope movie.

5767
03:16:02,950 --> 03:16:05,730
Hey, remember us at noagendadonations.com.

5768
03:16:05,810 --> 03:16:06,670
It's value for value.

5769
03:16:06,810 --> 03:16:09,050
Keep the show running, everybody, four more years.

5770
03:16:09,050 --> 03:16:13,310
Until Thursday, adios mofos, a hooey hooey, and

5771
03:16:13,310 --> 03:16:14,870
such.

5772
03:16:53,860 --> 03:17:00,300

03:18:21,800 --> 03:18:23,300
you know we are just drinkin' tea.

5783
03:18:23,660 --> 03:18:25,300
Name your femur, reach it, head to the

5784
03:18:25,300 --> 03:18:27,360
trouble room, prepare for three solid hours, don't

5785
03:18:27,360 --> 03:18:28,400
forget about the gloom.

5786
03:18:28,560 --> 03:18:30,420
The pop father and inventor of it all,

5787
03:18:30,560 --> 03:18:32,180
if podcasts go out of style, he'll go

5788
03:18:32,180 --> 03:18:33,080
down with the fall.

5789
03:18:42,160 --> 03:18:42,960
Diversity.

5790
03:19:21,800 --> 03:19:22,800
Activism.

5791
03:19:23,140 --> 03:19:23,640
Internet.
