1
00:00:00,410 --> 00:00:02,730
Most women kill their husbands by poisoning them.

2
00:00:03,230 --> 00:00:04,610
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,750 --> 00:00:05,110
Devorah.

4
00:00:05,190 --> 00:00:06,850
It's Sunday, April 6th, 2025.

5
00:00:07,170 --> 00:00:08,910
This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation media

6
00:00:08,910 --> 00:00:11,390
assassination episode 1753.

7
00:00:11,830 --> 00:00:13,410
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:16,230
Everything's crushing!

9
00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:19,390
And we're still broadcasting live from the heart

10
00:00:19,390 --> 00:00:20,550
of the Texas Hill Country.

11
00:00:20,750 --> 00:00:22,030
Here in FEMA Region No.

12
00:00:22,130 --> 00:00:23,570
6 in the morning, everybody.

13
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:24,530
I'm Adam Curry.

14
00:00:24,530 --> 00:00:27,030
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I understand

15
00:00:27,030 --> 00:00:30,050
the Russians are making exploding sex toys.

16
00:00:30,370 --> 00:00:31,229
I'm John C.

17
00:00:31,270 --> 00:00:31,490
Devorah.

18
00:00:31,870 --> 00:00:33,770
It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.

19
00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:36,720
Wait a minute.

20
00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:38,540
I thought that was the Israelis who made

21
00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:40,120
exploding sex toys.

22
00:00:40,660 --> 00:00:43,720
Well, the Russians apparently are making exploding dildos.

23
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:46,320
Oh, that could be annoying.

24
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,700
It's a day wrecker.

25
00:00:48,340 --> 00:00:50,220
It could be rather annoying.

26
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,600
Where did you get this tidbit from?

27
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,620
Some story floating around.

28
00:00:54,740 --> 00:00:55,560
Oh, okay.

29
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,200
It's on a real news site.

30
00:01:00,220 --> 00:01:01,820
It's on a real news site.

31
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:03,140
Okay, that makes nothing but sense.

32
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,100
It's on the Internet.

33
00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:06,260
It must be true.

34
00:01:06,260 --> 00:01:06,800
It must be true.

35
00:01:07,580 --> 00:01:08,840
Hey, man, happy birthday.

36
00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:10,660
One day after the fact.

37
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,380
Well, why thank you.

38
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,540
And did everyone come by and celebrate?

39
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,380
A lot of people did.

40
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:17,680
Really?

41
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,900
More than just the family?

42
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:21,520
No, I'm talking about the meet-up.

43
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:22,840
Oh, yeah.

44
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:23,500
How was that?

45
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,600
That must have been fantastic.

46
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,620
How many people were there?

47
00:01:26,180 --> 00:01:26,640
I don't know.

48
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,380
They were scattered all over the place.

49
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:29,160
I'll tell you this.

50
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,620
The pizza people, the Violeta Pizza.

51
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,120
Yeah, that's where it was.

52
00:01:36,540 --> 00:01:39,080
And Violet, of course, is the trap baby

53
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,460
that was notorious.

54
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Nice.

55
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,920
They make a fabulous pizza.

56
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:46,600
With the pineapple?

57
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,720
You know, they didn't bring a pineapple one

58
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,020
out, which disappointed me.

59
00:01:51,020 --> 00:01:54,780
Actually, I don't even know if they have

60
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:55,620
pineapple ones.

61
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,240
But it doesn't matter.

62
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,400
Their pizzas, it's just everything you'd want in

63
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:00,680
a pizza.

64
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:02,280
The crust is perfect.

65
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,320
The sauce is terrific.

66
00:02:05,540 --> 00:02:06,600
They use the real cheeses.

67
00:02:07,220 --> 00:02:08,660
And there's a big line.

68
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,520
This is supposedly their opening.

69
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:11,440
It's their hard opening.

70
00:02:13,340 --> 00:02:15,260
And considering that no one's heard of this,

71
00:02:15,820 --> 00:02:18,100
the new one is the new place.

72
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:21,100
They bought some property in a part of

73
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:22,360
Oakland that was industrial.

74
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,280
And there was a line of people waiting

75
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,780
to buy pizza as I left the meet

76
00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:27,980
-up.

77
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,440
It must have been 20 people that were

78
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,760
waiting patiently in line.

79
00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:34,840
It's astonishing.

80
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,280
That kind of reminds me of the grilled

81
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,900
cheese place back in the day.

82
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:44,120
The place across the street from Meteo?

83
00:02:44,340 --> 00:02:45,160
Yeah, remember that?

84
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:47,020
The grilled cheese place.

85
00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:49,880
All they made was grilled cheese, and they

86
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,620
were packed.

87
00:02:51,980 --> 00:02:55,340
And I think we predicted the mac and

88
00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:57,740
cheese, the grilled cheese, the avocado toast.

89
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,740
We predicted a lot of things, even without

90
00:02:59,740 --> 00:03:01,900
saying, I predict something.

91
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,060
In fact, one of our producers sent me

92
00:03:05,060 --> 00:03:05,280
this.

93
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,020
This is from 2021.

94
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:11,080
I could not believe when I heard this.

95
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:14,180
The globalists jumped on the opportunity to be

96
00:03:14,180 --> 00:03:16,680
anti-racist and do photo ops, being nice

97
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,600
to poor black people, but the general public

98
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,180
is still kind of racist here.

99
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,360
Go figure.

100
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,980
There are reports and video evidence of Haitians

101
00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:26,500
catching and eating family cats and dogs, but

102
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:27,360
it isn't too common.

103
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:30,620
Hey, we need this meme over here.

104
00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:34,960
Dude, if people knew that Haitians were eating

105
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,700
dogs, all of Wokistan would be defending the

106
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:38,980
border.

107
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:39,900
Yep.

108
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:40,960
We need to get this.

109
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,300
This needs to come out.

110
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,820
Stop eating our dogs, you Haitians.

111
00:03:44,820 --> 00:03:46,380
They're eating the dogs.

112
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,260
Can you believe we had that actual conversation?

113
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:53,480
Maybe that's where Trump got it.

114
00:03:57,420 --> 00:03:58,460
Possible, possible.

115
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,860
You never know.

116
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,020
So amidst, and of course, we're going to

117
00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:04,760
talk about terror.

118
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,520
I have stuff from the Sunday.

119
00:04:06,780 --> 00:04:07,120
Terrorists.

120
00:04:07,380 --> 00:04:09,720
I have stuff from the Sunday shows.

121
00:04:09,940 --> 00:04:11,800
I have tons of terrorist stuff too.

122
00:04:11,940 --> 00:04:13,760
But from this morning, from the Sunday show?

123
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,680
Brand new?

124
00:04:14,860 --> 00:04:15,399
No, not from the Sunday show.

125
00:04:15,399 --> 00:04:16,260
Caught off the press?

126
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,860
You always have the advantage on that one.

127
00:04:20,180 --> 00:04:23,060
So before we do that, though, I thought

128
00:04:23,060 --> 00:04:25,320
it was rather interesting and didn't, at least

129
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,480
I didn't see, get the coverage about the

130
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,680
Russian envoy being in D.C. Did you

131
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,460
get any of that?

132
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:32,340
No.

133
00:04:33,180 --> 00:04:35,860
So Kirill Dmitriev, Dmitriev.

134
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:37,840
Easy for you to say.

135
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,580
It's not easy for me to say, was

136
00:04:39,580 --> 00:04:42,940
in D.C. And I could not find

137
00:04:42,940 --> 00:04:46,980
anything except snippets of an interview he did

138
00:04:46,980 --> 00:04:49,900
on Fox with Bret Baier, which I thought

139
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:51,660
was, you know, I had like WION.

140
00:04:52,780 --> 00:04:55,720
I had Africa News did something on it.

141
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,160
No, no.

142
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,240
Everyone was like, oh.

143
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,700
It wasn't on CBS.

144
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:00,360
No.

145
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,420
Well, I pulled a couple of clips.

146
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,200
I thought it was white, white, it was

147
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,040
white winter swing.

148
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,960
It was very interesting.

149
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,740
And right off the bat, this Kirill dude

150
00:05:12,740 --> 00:05:15,580
says, you know, Trump's done some pretty good

151
00:05:15,580 --> 00:05:17,560
stuff, like stopping World War III.

152
00:05:17,860 --> 00:05:21,120
President Trump administration has made tremendous progress.

153
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:23,620
There was no dialogue with Russia and Biden.

154
00:05:23,820 --> 00:05:23,980
What?

155
00:05:24,340 --> 00:05:26,320
Obviously, that's why it wasn't played.

156
00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:27,340
Right off the top.

157
00:05:27,620 --> 00:05:28,140
Progress?

158
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,600
No, we can't have that.

159
00:05:29,660 --> 00:05:30,440
That's no good.

160
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:32,540
No, that's not anti-Trump enough.

161
00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:35,900
Trump administration has made tremendous progress.

162
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:38,460
There was no dialogue with Russia in Biden

163
00:05:38,460 --> 00:05:40,260
administration for the last three years.

164
00:05:40,660 --> 00:05:42,860
There was no trying to understand Russian position.

165
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,600
There was no real solutions that could have

166
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,800
been successful.

167
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:49,720
And what President Trump team has done, they

168
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,940
understood what the solution space may be.

169
00:05:52,260 --> 00:05:54,460
And they achieved the first de-escalation ever

170
00:05:54,460 --> 00:05:57,100
in the conflict, which is stopping hits on

171
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:59,940
energy infrastructure between Russia and Ukraine.

172
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,940
So we are having good discussions.

173
00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:06,440
Our diplomatic people are also discussing possible outcomes.

174
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,660
But there is no question that President Trump

175
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:11,000
team not only stopped World War III from

176
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
happening, but also had already achieved sizable progress

177
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,220
on Ukraine resolution.

178
00:06:16,660 --> 00:06:16,760
What?

179
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:18,740
Yeah, you're right.

180
00:06:18,820 --> 00:06:19,360
No wonder.

181
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:20,720
No, we can't have that.

182
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,440
We can't be talking about good stuff like

183
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:22,840
that.

184
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,680
And this kind of leading into the tariffs

185
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,620
and sanctions, I thought this was fascinating.

186
00:06:30,620 --> 00:06:33,200
Russia is not asking for lifting of sanctions.

187
00:06:33,380 --> 00:06:35,020
Because if you look at our GDP growth,

188
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,660
it's actually 4% last year versus just

189
00:06:37,660 --> 00:06:39,000
1% in Europe.

190
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,460
If you look at our debt to GDP,

191
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,260
it's 18% versus 100% in Europe.

192
00:06:43,460 --> 00:06:45,120
So I think what we see is that

193
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,880
actually U.S. companies lost around $300 billion

194
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,180
of foregone profit from withdrawing from Russia.

195
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,440
So I think sanctions may be lifted when

196
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,640
U.S. companies want to go back, want

197
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,500
to take advantage of business opportunities in Russia.

198
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:00,740
But right now, Russia is not making any

199
00:07:00,740 --> 00:07:03,700
preconditions, not asking for specific sanction relief.

200
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:05,340
This is fantastic.

201
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,500
The Russians are like, hey, man, you guys

202
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:08,980
can come in.

203
00:07:09,020 --> 00:07:10,700
You can make $300 billion more.

204
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:13,960
You can buy back your McDonald's.

205
00:07:14,820 --> 00:07:17,420
Well, as if they all went away, we

206
00:07:17,420 --> 00:07:18,960
know that a lot of them were faking

207
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:19,220
it.

208
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,140
Yeah, they're fake.

209
00:07:20,140 --> 00:07:24,280
And the last clip here is about another

210
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,560
stunner about NATO and the final resolutions for

211
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,000
Ukraine.

212
00:07:31,260 --> 00:07:35,940
But I think Ukraine joining NATO, as our

213
00:07:35,940 --> 00:07:38,300
president said, is not at all possible.

214
00:07:39,020 --> 00:07:40,820
And that I think has been widely accepted,

215
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,300
including by Trump administration.

216
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,780
You know, some security guarantees in some form

217
00:07:44,780 --> 00:07:46,520
may be acceptable.

218
00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:48,180
And we can do so many great things

219
00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:49,140
together in Arctic.

220
00:07:49,140 --> 00:07:52,180
We can do deals in rare earths and

221
00:07:52,180 --> 00:07:52,920
other minerals.

222
00:07:53,420 --> 00:07:55,880
We can do lots of cooperation in LNG

223
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:56,880
and other areas.

224
00:07:57,220 --> 00:07:58,840
So I think one of the big issues

225
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,060
between us, we never had really lots of

226
00:08:01,060 --> 00:08:02,040
economic cooperation.

227
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:05,000
We believe that economic cooperation will allow us

228
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,940
to also solve any political issues.

229
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:08,660
Man, they're going to have to line up

230
00:08:08,660 --> 00:08:09,340
behind Canada.

231
00:08:09,460 --> 00:08:11,360
Everybody wants to give us rare earth.

232
00:08:12,220 --> 00:08:13,040
It's amazing.

233
00:08:13,180 --> 00:08:13,680
All of a sudden.

234
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:14,120
It's amazing.

235
00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:16,400
It was like, well, tariffs are no good.

236
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,140
We're going to get you.

237
00:08:17,140 --> 00:08:18,480
But hey, would you like some rare earth?

238
00:08:19,780 --> 00:08:19,960
Yeah.

239
00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:21,860
And, you know, now he can't be in

240
00:08:21,860 --> 00:08:24,040
NATO over there in Ukraine, but security, some

241
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,140
security forces are OK.

242
00:08:25,540 --> 00:08:26,440
This is amazing.

243
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,240
More amazing, of course, that the M5M has,

244
00:08:30,740 --> 00:08:32,820
except for Fox, I'll give them a pass

245
00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:35,020
on that, have just not covered it.

246
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:37,480
And I don't even know, this guy may

247
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,400
just be some jimok who lives in Brooklyn

248
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,299
and speaks Russian for all I know.

249
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:43,140
I've never heard of him.

250
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,180
I've never heard of him.

251
00:08:44,180 --> 00:08:48,060
They have good bookers on that show.

252
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,080
I don't know this guy.

253
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,400
As a contrast, I want to play these

254
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:51,740
clips.

255
00:08:51,940 --> 00:08:52,380
All right.

256
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,180
This is the this is a contrast of

257
00:08:55,180 --> 00:08:57,120
what you just played, because that's like, you

258
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,400
know, good news kind of.

259
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,420
You can't have good news.

260
00:08:59,540 --> 00:09:00,200
This is not cool.

261
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,040
You can't have good news.

262
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,220
So let's go to CBS and look at

263
00:09:04,220 --> 00:09:07,440
their discussion of the NSA head being fired.

264
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:08,520
Oh, no.

265
00:09:09,060 --> 00:09:09,580
Oh, no.

266
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:09,920
OK.

267
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:12,200
The NSA.

268
00:09:12,460 --> 00:09:13,320
You have two here.

269
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:13,700
You have.

270
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,240
Yeah, the one that's the one that says

271
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,440
two in it is the second.

272
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,220
Oh, oh, that's a two.

273
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:20,600
OK.

274
00:09:20,740 --> 00:09:21,900
We got it.

275
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,820
Well, the general in charge of the National

276
00:09:23,820 --> 00:09:26,780
Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command is

277
00:09:26,780 --> 00:09:28,740
the latest to be fired in a purge

278
00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:30,140
of national security officials.

279
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:31,940
Margaret Brennan has the details.

280
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,880
President Trump's firing of the top two leaders

281
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,300
of the powerful National Security Agency, Cyber Command

282
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:41,560
General Timothy Hawk and Deputy Wendy Noble, and

283
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:43,960
the dismissal of at least six White House

284
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,900
National Security Council aides, followed an extraordinary Oval

285
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:50,960
Office meeting Wednesday between President Trump and far

286
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,460
right activist Laura Loomer.

287
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,860
CBS News has learned that Loomer, who has

288
00:09:55,860 --> 00:09:59,120
entertained 9-11 conspiracy theories, has a history

289
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,580
of anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant social media posts,

290
00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:07,440
privately and publicly accused the officials of subverting

291
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,660
Trump's agenda and being disloyal.

292
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:12,780
President Trump said he did discuss personnel with

293
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:13,020
Loomer.

294
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,960
Chris Krebs, a CBS News consultant, was a

295
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,100
top cybersecurity official during the first Trump administration.

296
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,180
So Laura Loomer, this far right activist, said

297
00:10:22,180 --> 00:10:24,940
Hawk was fired because he was, quote, disloyal

298
00:10:24,940 --> 00:10:26,080
to President Trump.

299
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,140
What do you make of that?

300
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:29,000
He's exactly the kind of leader I think

301
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,180
we need in that role.

302
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:31,980
It is surprising.

303
00:10:31,980 --> 00:10:33,080
I think it is a bit of a

304
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,160
setback for us as we see China, as

305
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,720
we see Russia and Iran getting more and

306
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,300
more aggressive in cyberspace to move out one

307
00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:48,400
of our most accomplished, distinguished cyber warriors.

308
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:50,840
Now, I saw the story come across the

309
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:51,280
transom.

310
00:10:51,380 --> 00:10:53,820
I'm glad you got these clips because my

311
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:56,300
initial, I'll be honest, my initial response, Laura

312
00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:57,320
Loomer, what is she doing?

313
00:10:57,380 --> 00:10:58,160
Someone's been loomered.

314
00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:03,140
I mean, what was going on there?

315
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,540
A couple of things.

316
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:06,460
The note.

317
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,280
Why don't they get Laura Loomer and ask

318
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,380
her a couple of questions?

319
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:12,160
They might want to, you know, ask her

320
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,280
what's she talking about, about this guy being

321
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:14,820
disloyal.

322
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:15,340
Did they?

323
00:11:15,420 --> 00:11:16,680
They don't interview her.

324
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,400
They don't talk to her.

325
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,840
They talk to this guy, Krebs, who they

326
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,780
announced as...

327
00:11:21,780 --> 00:11:24,220
This is CBS's duplicitousness, by the way.

328
00:11:24,220 --> 00:11:27,800
This is a great example of very poor

329
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:28,420
journalism.

330
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:34,720
And I would blame everybody, Dickinson and Brennan,

331
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,060
the rest of them, for doing this.

332
00:11:37,220 --> 00:11:41,300
This Krebs guy, he was Trump's guy.

333
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,100
He was Trump's security guy, you know, cyber

334
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:44,880
security guy.

335
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:48,080
He was fired by Trump, which you'd think

336
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,320
they would mention because it does give you

337
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,800
a little insight into what he's bitching about.

338
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,960
Because he was one of the guys fired

339
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,460
by Trump, so you can't take him too

340
00:11:56,460 --> 00:11:56,880
seriously.

341
00:11:57,420 --> 00:11:59,020
You mean previously, before he was NSA, or

342
00:11:59,020 --> 00:11:59,340
now?

343
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,940
No, I'm talking about the guy doing the...

344
00:12:02,940 --> 00:12:03,960
that she's talking to.

345
00:12:04,340 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, okay.

346
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,480
The guy who she's using as evidence of

347
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,020
this being a big blunder.

348
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:11,740
Got it.

349
00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:12,640
This Krebs guy.

350
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,400
He was fired by Trump.

351
00:12:14,540 --> 00:12:16,020
He did work for Trump.

352
00:12:16,020 --> 00:12:22,020
And then right after the election in 2019,

353
00:12:22,340 --> 00:12:24,800
right after the election before, you know, where

354
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,840
Trump thought it was a fake bad election

355
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,020
for the 2020 election.

356
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,780
This guy was...

357
00:12:31,780 --> 00:12:35,120
he decided between the time of the election

358
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,680
and the inauguration of Biden, he, as the

359
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:43,000
cyber security guy, started a blog which just

360
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,800
documented every reason in the world why this

361
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,520
couldn't have been a rigged election.

362
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,640
He should have done a substack.

363
00:12:49,780 --> 00:12:50,900
Blogs get no traction.

364
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:51,880
Well, whatever.

365
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:52,840
He did something.

366
00:12:53,020 --> 00:12:53,560
It was government.

367
00:12:53,620 --> 00:12:54,720
It was on government dime.

368
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:55,620
Huh.

369
00:12:56,180 --> 00:12:57,700
And so Trump fired him.

370
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,680
Now, was he at CISA?

371
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,140
Was it?

372
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,280
No, it was Homeland Security.

373
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:00,620
Yes.

374
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:01,220
No, CISA.

375
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:01,620
CISA?

376
00:13:01,940 --> 00:13:02,180
Hmm.

377
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,080
So no, so Trump fired him.

378
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,420
So now he's the expert.

379
00:13:05,420 --> 00:13:07,580
So he's a guy with no grudge and

380
00:13:07,580 --> 00:13:08,860
he's on with Margaret Brown.

381
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,560
Are you telling me that CBS is not

382
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:13,820
doing good journalism?

383
00:13:14,860 --> 00:13:17,420
And so they're actually getting worse, worse and

384
00:13:17,420 --> 00:13:17,800
worse.

385
00:13:18,740 --> 00:13:22,080
Meanwhile, we talk about this hog guy, Hawk,

386
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,860
as she calls him, H-A-U-G

387
00:13:23,860 --> 00:13:25,100
-H was the head of NSA.

388
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,360
This guy is interesting in a couple of

389
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:28,660
ways.

390
00:13:28,660 --> 00:13:31,560
He's like he has three master's degrees in

391
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,160
cyber security stuff.

392
00:13:33,180 --> 00:13:36,220
But it's like from the Naval postgraduate school,

393
00:13:36,220 --> 00:13:37,860
from the Army school, this and that.

394
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,480
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,

395
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:38,580
stop.

396
00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:39,160
New promotion.

397
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:40,820
No agenda.

398
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,140
Masters of security stuff.

399
00:13:44,060 --> 00:13:44,320
Yes.

400
00:13:44,380 --> 00:13:45,120
I like it.

401
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,260
I like it a lot.

402
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,580
Well, so the PhD is the only thing

403
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:49,940
that works.

404
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,880
So this guy has three master's degrees and

405
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:53,580
he has it.

406
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,700
So you look at him, he looks like

407
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:57,020
kind of a government guy.

408
00:13:57,020 --> 00:14:00,640
But if you look at him or you

409
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,280
look at his background, he has.

410
00:14:02,420 --> 00:14:04,400
Now, when you think of somebody with a

411
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,400
bronze star.

412
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:06,580
Yeah.

413
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,300
What does that imply?

414
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:10,920
You did.

415
00:14:11,060 --> 00:14:11,360
Yeah.

416
00:14:11,780 --> 00:14:14,960
You did something courageous.

417
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:18,800
You probably did something in combat.

418
00:14:19,260 --> 00:14:19,400
Yeah.

419
00:14:19,540 --> 00:14:19,980
Yes.

420
00:14:20,060 --> 00:14:21,020
Courageous in combat.

421
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:21,560
Yes.

422
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,700
This guy, it appears, has never been in

423
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:26,080
combat.

424
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,820
He has a bronze star.

425
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,080
And if you try to research the bronze

426
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,600
star, which I did, you can't find out

427
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:33,940
why he got this bronze star.

428
00:14:34,580 --> 00:14:37,040
And he apparently got the bronze star while

429
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,060
he was in Florida.

430
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:39,660
He rebooted a server.

431
00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:43,980
He got the bronze star.

432
00:14:44,140 --> 00:14:45,900
All I can figure out is he got

433
00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:48,880
the bronze star somehow in Florida.

434
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,560
And I guess he was doing something remotely.

435
00:14:53,820 --> 00:14:54,600
I don't know.

436
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,900
The guy is suspicious.

437
00:14:57,540 --> 00:15:00,380
And so they bring this.

438
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,700
They never interview Loomer about any of this.

439
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:04,840
They do interview Trump.

440
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,060
I had to cut that out because it

441
00:15:06,060 --> 00:15:06,860
was on the airplane.

442
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,660
You couldn't hear it.

443
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,600
And so they bring this Krebs guy on

444
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,280
to just straighten this out.

445
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,940
And this is just garbage.

446
00:15:15,060 --> 00:15:16,440
So let's listen to the second half.

447
00:15:16,820 --> 00:15:18,760
This went right to the Oval Office, the

448
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,240
conversation about these National Security Council officials.

449
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,660
There's a short circuit happening here in the

450
00:15:23,660 --> 00:15:24,540
traditional process.

451
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,540
There's a different kind of influence that is

452
00:15:27,540 --> 00:15:31,420
informing personnel processes and decisions.

453
00:15:31,820 --> 00:15:33,220
And I think that's, in part, what's just

454
00:15:33,220 --> 00:15:35,120
so unusual about the moment.

455
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:38,440
We have really, really capable people in leadership

456
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,220
positions that I think are serving the Constitution

457
00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:41,500
well.

458
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:45,200
But, unfortunately, their time's up in their jobs.

459
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,540
And Margaret Brennan joins us now from Washington.

460
00:15:47,540 --> 00:15:48,780
Margaret, if you could take us through the

461
00:15:48,780 --> 00:15:50,960
scope of what the NSA does and why

462
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,320
this is such a big deal today.

463
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,980
Well, Maurice, the NSA is arguably the most

464
00:15:55,980 --> 00:16:00,040
powerful intelligence collection agency this country has because

465
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,880
they vacuum up information through signals, intelligence intercepts.

466
00:16:04,420 --> 00:16:05,980
Vacuum up information.

467
00:16:05,980 --> 00:16:08,580
That's actually a very accurate description of what

468
00:16:08,580 --> 00:16:09,040
they do.

469
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,800
Yeah, it is very accurate.

470
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:11,260
Vacuum it up.

471
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,480
And the thing is, it's interesting is that

472
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,480
if you listen to her exposition here, she

473
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,500
kind of has to clarify things with a

474
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:22,100
little afterthought you may or may not catch.

475
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,860
See, this country has because they vacuum up

476
00:16:24,860 --> 00:16:29,100
information through signals, intelligence intercepts, through cyber collection,

477
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,300
through wiretaps.

478
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,540
And they do that overseas.

479
00:16:31,540 --> 00:16:33,640
They then work hand in glove with the

480
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,340
military's cyber command.

481
00:16:35,860 --> 00:16:38,540
Now, General Hawk is a four-star general.

482
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,180
He was unanimously confirmed by Congress to that

483
00:16:42,180 --> 00:16:42,620
job.

484
00:16:42,620 --> 00:16:45,380
And he swore an oath of allegiance to

485
00:16:45,380 --> 00:16:48,100
the U.S. Constitution no matter who is

486
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:48,580
president.

487
00:16:48,820 --> 00:16:52,880
His accuser, Laura Loomer, says his fault is

488
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,400
working for the last president.

489
00:16:55,260 --> 00:16:56,940
Margaret, and you're hearing there might be more

490
00:16:56,940 --> 00:16:59,180
changes in store perhaps for this important agency?

491
00:17:00,460 --> 00:17:01,320
Yes, John, we are.

492
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,180
Actually, CBS has learned that President Trump is

493
00:17:04,180 --> 00:17:08,579
considering splitting off the NSA from the military.

494
00:17:08,819 --> 00:17:11,180
Other presidents have also considered this and then

495
00:17:11,180 --> 00:17:12,000
ruled it out.

496
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:15,540
Doing so, splitting it off, would allow for

497
00:17:15,540 --> 00:17:18,800
President Trump to put a political ally at

498
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:19,380
the helm.

499
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,220
General Hawk opposed it.

500
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:22,940
What did she say at the end?

501
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,260
Would prevent political ally at the helm?

502
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,880
I didn't quite understand what she was saying.

503
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,900
She said that splitting it off.

504
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,380
Now, this is the logic of this.

505
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:32,580
Now, this is the part that I thought

506
00:17:32,580 --> 00:17:33,160
was interesting.

507
00:17:33,580 --> 00:17:35,180
And by the way, the other part I

508
00:17:35,180 --> 00:17:37,280
was mentioning earlier is when she said they

509
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,240
wiretap.

510
00:17:38,340 --> 00:17:38,500
Yeah.

511
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:39,980
They do this overseas.

512
00:17:39,980 --> 00:17:42,220
She added that in real quick.

513
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,740
They do overseas.

514
00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:46,240
They don't do wiretaps here like Snowden implies.

515
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:47,900
No, not at Trump Tower at all.

516
00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:48,980
No, no, no, it's not happening.

517
00:17:49,580 --> 00:17:55,180
So, she says that by splitting the NSA

518
00:17:55,180 --> 00:17:58,420
off from the military, it allows Trump to

519
00:17:58,420 --> 00:18:01,080
put in a loyalist.

520
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,920
But Trump's going to put in somebody anyway.

521
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,220
Whether they're connected to the military or not,

522
00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:09,140
why wouldn't he put in a loyalist?

523
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,620
In other words, I don't get the –

524
00:18:12,620 --> 00:18:14,620
what is the – do they have to

525
00:18:14,620 --> 00:18:17,600
split NSA off from the military so he

526
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,680
can put in a loyalist?

527
00:18:18,860 --> 00:18:20,760
Why can't they just put in a loyalist

528
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,440
without splitting it off?

529
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,460
It doesn't make any sense at all.

530
00:18:24,780 --> 00:18:26,840
She makes it sound like some conspiracy is

531
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,540
going on.

532
00:18:27,780 --> 00:18:29,460
This is just bad reporting.

533
00:18:29,460 --> 00:18:36,220
Well, there probably is a possible conspiracy opportunity

534
00:18:36,220 --> 00:18:39,320
if you have NSA part of the military.

535
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,200
Like separate those two.

536
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,600
She just talked about all that with the

537
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,680
– hand in glove with the DOD.

538
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,180
Yeah, you want to keep that close to

539
00:18:49,180 --> 00:18:49,540
the vest.

540
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,140
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

541
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:54,220
Interesting.

542
00:18:54,220 --> 00:18:56,540
So, this was an example of the opposite

543
00:18:56,540 --> 00:18:59,020
of like – let's talk about the envoy

544
00:18:59,020 --> 00:19:02,560
from Russia trying to create peace.

545
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,580
Heaven forbid.

546
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:05,560
Let's just talk about Trump.

547
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,680
Well, I have – I'll do two.

548
00:19:07,820 --> 00:19:10,340
These are rather short series of the Sunday

549
00:19:10,340 --> 00:19:11,000
morning shows.

550
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,160
Thank you, Steve Jones.

551
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,400
Howard Lutnick, our commerce secretary, was on Face

552
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:16,920
the Nation.

553
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:20,580
And it was – he made a little

554
00:19:20,580 --> 00:19:23,680
– Is Lutnick the – oh, yeah, he's

555
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:24,000
commerce.

556
00:19:24,140 --> 00:19:24,920
Yeah, he's commerce, yeah.

557
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,760
He made a little boo-boo, but first

558
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:27,660
let's get into the intro.

559
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,640
We see about 60% of Americans have

560
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,660
money in the stock market, which means that

561
00:19:32,660 --> 00:19:35,160
retirees could be just as concerned as hedge

562
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:35,800
fund managers.

563
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:36,740
Hold on a second.

564
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:39,060
Let's start with that premise.

565
00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:42,660
60% of Americans have money in the

566
00:19:42,660 --> 00:19:44,740
stock market mostly via 401ks.

567
00:19:45,020 --> 00:19:45,140
Yes.

568
00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:46,880
It's not like they're investors.

569
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,340
And by the way, I wonder if it's

570
00:19:48,340 --> 00:19:50,160
60% that have 401ks.

571
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,000
Retirement funds, yeah.

572
00:19:53,780 --> 00:19:56,540
Yeah, that's what they're trying to include.

573
00:19:57,380 --> 00:20:00,140
Because active investors is no way that high.

574
00:20:00,540 --> 00:20:00,740
OK.

575
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,580
Did you expect this level of shock in

576
00:20:04,580 --> 00:20:05,500
the financial markets?

577
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:06,100
Shock?

578
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:06,780
Shock?

579
00:20:06,780 --> 00:20:08,320
Well, you've got to realize this is a

580
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,900
national security issue.

581
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,900
I mean we don't make medicine in this

582
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:12,740
country anymore.

583
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,260
We don't make ships.

584
00:20:14,260 --> 00:20:16,660
We don't have enough steel and aluminum to

585
00:20:16,660 --> 00:20:17,640
fight a battle.

586
00:20:18,060 --> 00:20:18,280
Right?

587
00:20:18,420 --> 00:20:20,420
All our semiconductors are made overseas.

588
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,860
So every button we press when we try

589
00:20:22,860 --> 00:20:24,780
to start our car or even use our

590
00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:25,380
microwave.

591
00:20:25,580 --> 00:20:27,200
These are all semiconductors.

592
00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:28,600
They're all made elsewhere.

593
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,360
Buttons now, semiconductors.

594
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:33,480
But OK, I digress.

595
00:20:33,580 --> 00:20:34,620
I like the buttons.

596
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:35,380
The buttons.

597
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:36,960
Start to protect ourselves.

598
00:20:37,220 --> 00:20:38,940
And we've got to stop having all the

599
00:20:38,940 --> 00:20:40,580
countries of the world ripping us off.

600
00:20:40,580 --> 00:20:43,800
We have a 1.2 trillion dollar trade

601
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,180
deficit.

602
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:45,540
And the rest of the world has a

603
00:20:45,540 --> 00:20:46,560
surplus with us.

604
00:20:47,020 --> 00:20:47,920
They're earning our money.

605
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,000
They're taking our money.

606
00:20:49,420 --> 00:20:51,120
And Donald Trump has seen this.

607
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:52,660
And he's going to stop it.

608
00:20:52,740 --> 00:20:54,640
So it is going to be a big

609
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:55,080
change.

610
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:56,420
Of course it's going to be a big

611
00:20:56,420 --> 00:20:56,800
change.

612
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,060
But the rest of the world has been

613
00:20:58,060 --> 00:21:00,520
ripping us off for all these many years.

614
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:01,640
Donald Trump has seen it.

615
00:21:01,740 --> 00:21:02,800
He's spoken about it.

616
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:03,480
I understand that.

617
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:04,200
And he's just not going to take it

618
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:04,540
anymore.

619
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:05,660
And that's his model.

620
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,360
So, actually, it's Hasser.

621
00:21:08,580 --> 00:21:09,680
He did the whoops.

622
00:21:09,740 --> 00:21:10,460
You'll get to that later.

623
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,760
But this guy likes saying ripped off a

624
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:13,300
lot.

625
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,220
And where does he come from, Ludnick?

626
00:21:17,020 --> 00:21:18,920
He comes from, is he a hedge fund

627
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:19,200
guy?

628
00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:19,820
Or what is he?

629
00:21:20,020 --> 00:21:21,400
I think he's a hedge fund guy.

630
00:21:21,460 --> 00:21:22,180
We can look him up.

631
00:21:22,420 --> 00:21:25,040
But who is this that's interviewing him?

632
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,240
I have no idea.

633
00:21:27,060 --> 00:21:28,120
Sounds like Brennan.

634
00:21:28,540 --> 00:21:29,200
Oh, it could be.

635
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,140
It's Face the Nation.

636
00:21:30,940 --> 00:21:32,000
That would be her.

637
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:32,480
OK.

638
00:21:32,620 --> 00:21:33,660
More getting ripped off.

639
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,020
She's bad, by the way.

640
00:21:35,020 --> 00:21:37,280
She's bad news, this woman.

641
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:38,920
That's her job.

642
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:40,200
She's bad news lady.

643
00:21:40,420 --> 00:21:43,880
And that was abundantly clear during the presidential

644
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,720
campaign, how much the president truly believes in

645
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,040
tariffs and putting them at the center of

646
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,060
his economic policy.

647
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,320
But you saw absolute panic in the global

648
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:51,520
market.

649
00:21:51,660 --> 00:21:51,940
Oh, I'm sorry.

650
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:53,600
Cantor Fitzgerald, of course.

651
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,360
How could I forget?

652
00:21:54,860 --> 00:21:56,220
He's the guy that didn't go to work

653
00:21:56,220 --> 00:21:56,820
on 9-11.

654
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,160
Sorry to put it that way.

655
00:21:59,460 --> 00:22:00,860
Did you expect that?

656
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:01,700
Or were you surprised?

657
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,140
No, I think the point is, you need

658
00:22:04,140 --> 00:22:07,160
to reset the power of the United States

659
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,960
of America and reset it against all our

660
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,900
allies and our enemies alike.

661
00:22:12,060 --> 00:22:14,400
The idea that all the countries of the

662
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,500
world can run trade surpluses with America and

663
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:19,260
buy our things with us.

664
00:22:19,340 --> 00:22:20,900
Remember, 1.2 trillion dollars.

665
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,560
In 1980, we were a net investor, meaning

666
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,140
we owned more of the rest of the

667
00:22:26,140 --> 00:22:27,060
world than they owned of us.

668
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:27,940
It's a different world.

669
00:22:28,140 --> 00:22:28,760
It's a different market.

670
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,540
Now they own 18 trillion dollars of us

671
00:22:33,540 --> 00:22:34,360
net.

672
00:22:34,820 --> 00:22:37,080
So that means every year when we run

673
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,640
a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit, the rest

674
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,100
of the world buys 1.2 trillion dollars

675
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:42,700
of America.

676
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,280
And it goes up and up and up.

677
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:46,180
And eventually, we're not going to own America.

678
00:22:46,580 --> 00:22:48,040
And we are going to be owned by

679
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:48,840
the rest of the world.

680
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:50,600
Imagine if we had a war and we

681
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:51,400
can't build a ship.

682
00:22:51,740 --> 00:22:53,060
We can't fly a plane.

683
00:22:53,140 --> 00:22:54,440
We can't build our own planes.

684
00:22:54,660 --> 00:22:56,140
We don't have our own semiconductors.

685
00:22:56,140 --> 00:22:58,920
This is what the president is here to

686
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,100
fix for America.

687
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,640
It's in his hands, and he wants to

688
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,360
fix America.

689
00:23:03,780 --> 00:23:05,260
This is his chance to fix America.

690
00:23:05,580 --> 00:23:07,720
We need him to fix it for our

691
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,080
children and our grandchildren.

692
00:23:09,340 --> 00:23:09,860
Understood.

693
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,200
But my 401K here at CBS is going

694
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:14,600
down.

695
00:23:14,780 --> 00:23:16,500
I hate looking at these numbers all day

696
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:16,860
long.

697
00:23:18,060 --> 00:23:21,720
And then this was really quite low.

698
00:23:22,740 --> 00:23:24,180
Let's just stop for a second.

699
00:23:24,180 --> 00:23:26,980
What Lutnick said there is kind of important.

700
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,240
It's very important.

701
00:23:28,980 --> 00:23:33,680
And if the media was on board, this

702
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,440
wouldn't be an issue at all.

703
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:37,880
But they're not.

704
00:23:38,020 --> 00:23:39,500
They're fighting it.

705
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,920
They really want America to become a weakened

706
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,120
state that could be just easily taken over

707
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:46,760
by anyone with a military because we're going

708
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:51,860
to have nothing except soldiers with gear that

709
00:23:51,860 --> 00:23:53,460
is purchased overseas.

710
00:23:53,460 --> 00:23:57,440
And we still have the defense industry we

711
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,140
have, which really only makes missiles and fighter

712
00:24:00,140 --> 00:24:00,620
jets.

713
00:24:01,620 --> 00:24:03,000
We don't make tanks anymore.

714
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,260
But not with our own steel.

715
00:24:04,780 --> 00:24:06,060
No, no, problem.

716
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,700
There's a lot of problems here in terms

717
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:11,520
of strategic positioning.

718
00:24:12,540 --> 00:24:15,260
And the media is just not helping.

719
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,040
No, no, of course not.

720
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:18,920
They want ratings.

721
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,580
They don't really care if they're helping or

722
00:24:20,580 --> 00:24:20,780
not.

723
00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:21,560
They're not interested.

724
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,300
They're interested in their own bread and butter.

725
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,060
It makes total sense, just like us.

726
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,720
That's why we're kowtowing.

727
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,540
We don't have ratings.

728
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,580
We don't need ratings.

729
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:32,700
We don't use ratings.

730
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,640
We're not part of that system.

731
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,280
No, we're not part of downloads either, podcast

732
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,320
industrial complex.

733
00:24:38,460 --> 00:24:41,720
Anyway, so it was understandable that Saturday Night

734
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,720
Live made a joke about the McDonald Island,

735
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,940
you know, penguins.

736
00:24:48,940 --> 00:24:49,940
It was understandable.

737
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,740
But for CBS to not even think for

738
00:24:53,740 --> 00:24:57,460
two seconds about what that's really about was

739
00:24:57,460 --> 00:24:59,120
just baffling.

740
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:00,900
When we saw the president stand in the

741
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:02,500
Rose Garden holding up that chart that you

742
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:05,740
helped make, that wasn't actually tariffs.

743
00:25:06,060 --> 00:25:09,440
That was actually confusing to investors because it

744
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,780
was some kind of other formula, and the

745
00:25:11,780 --> 00:25:13,560
countries themselves- Did you see the formula?

746
00:25:15,930 --> 00:25:17,290
Yeah, I think I did.

747
00:25:17,290 --> 00:25:21,550
It looked like the formula for Bitcoin mining.

748
00:25:21,810 --> 00:25:23,410
Oh, that formula that was up there, yeah.

749
00:25:23,490 --> 00:25:24,730
It was very interesting.

750
00:25:25,130 --> 00:25:26,130
I was like, okay.

751
00:25:26,470 --> 00:25:28,930
And the countries themselves seemed kind of random.

752
00:25:29,450 --> 00:25:31,510
Like, why are the herd in McDonald Islands,

753
00:25:31,670 --> 00:25:33,930
which don't export to the United States and

754
00:25:33,930 --> 00:25:37,530
are quite literally inhabited by penguins, why do

755
00:25:37,530 --> 00:25:39,370
they face a 10% tariffs?

756
00:25:39,890 --> 00:25:41,970
Did you use AI to generate this?

757
00:25:42,170 --> 00:25:44,210
I mean, can you believe this question?

758
00:25:46,990 --> 00:25:51,430
It's like, use AI and ask the question.

759
00:25:51,530 --> 00:25:53,430
You would come up with an answer.

760
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:56,350
You wouldn't ask this ridiculous question.

761
00:25:56,750 --> 00:25:58,990
I just couldn't believe that came from CBS

762
00:25:58,990 --> 00:26:00,070
first generation.

763
00:26:01,710 --> 00:26:02,230
No.

764
00:26:02,730 --> 00:26:04,690
No, the idea, look, the idea is-

765
00:26:04,690 --> 00:26:06,130
Walk your thing on the list.

766
00:26:07,510 --> 00:26:10,010
Because the idea, what happens is if you

767
00:26:10,010 --> 00:26:13,050
leave anything off the list, the countries that

768
00:26:13,050 --> 00:26:16,790
try to basically arbitrage America go through those

769
00:26:16,790 --> 00:26:17,730
countries to us.

770
00:26:18,070 --> 00:26:19,610
And now what he's trying to say is,

771
00:26:19,910 --> 00:26:22,270
I'm going to fix the trade deficit of

772
00:26:22,270 --> 00:26:23,390
the United States of America.

773
00:26:23,630 --> 00:26:25,330
It's a national security issue.

774
00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:26,650
We need to make medicine.

775
00:26:26,850 --> 00:26:28,090
We need to make semiconductors.

776
00:26:28,370 --> 00:26:29,290
We need to make ships.

777
00:26:29,290 --> 00:26:30,030
She's not listening.

778
00:26:30,270 --> 00:26:31,670
We need to have steel and aluminum.

779
00:26:32,110 --> 00:26:32,770
Come on.

780
00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:35,190
We need the greatness of America to actually

781
00:26:35,190 --> 00:26:36,270
be built in America.

782
00:26:36,270 --> 00:26:37,850
And he's tired of getting ripped off by

783
00:26:37,850 --> 00:26:38,510
the rest of the world.

784
00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:40,870
Okay, but just to be clear, April 9th,

785
00:26:40,870 --> 00:26:44,170
the so-called retaliatory tariffs- So-called,

786
00:26:44,310 --> 00:26:45,070
so-called.

787
00:26:46,010 --> 00:26:48,390
To actually be built in America, and he's

788
00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:49,810
tired of getting ripped off by the rest

789
00:26:49,810 --> 00:26:50,170
of the world.

790
00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:52,430
Okay, but just to be clear, April 9th,

791
00:26:52,550 --> 00:26:56,090
the so-called retaliatory tariffs, the reciprocal tariffs,

792
00:26:56,150 --> 00:26:56,750
I should say.

793
00:26:57,530 --> 00:26:58,650
Are those coming?

794
00:26:59,150 --> 00:27:00,730
Or are they open to negotiation?

795
00:27:01,990 --> 00:27:03,670
The tariffs are coming.

796
00:27:03,850 --> 00:27:06,110
He announced it, and he wasn't kidding.

797
00:27:06,250 --> 00:27:07,610
The tariffs are coming.

798
00:27:07,810 --> 00:27:09,090
Of course they are.

799
00:27:09,310 --> 00:27:09,610
Okay.

800
00:27:09,610 --> 00:27:11,590
She is not listening.

801
00:27:11,770 --> 00:27:13,510
I wonder if her producer is just yelling

802
00:27:13,510 --> 00:27:14,070
in her ear.

803
00:27:14,270 --> 00:27:16,670
You know, it's like- Ask him about

804
00:27:16,670 --> 00:27:17,090
the tariffs.

805
00:27:17,230 --> 00:27:18,270
Are they coming April 9th?

806
00:27:18,750 --> 00:27:21,490
I've noticed this before, that she doesn't listen

807
00:27:21,490 --> 00:27:22,050
very well.

808
00:27:22,250 --> 00:27:26,990
She did it with Marco Rubio.

809
00:27:27,130 --> 00:27:28,190
She didn't listen to him.

810
00:27:29,930 --> 00:27:32,770
Vance, J.D. Vance, was nailed or two

811
00:27:32,770 --> 00:27:33,770
because she wasn't listening.

812
00:27:33,890 --> 00:27:34,510
She doesn't listen.

813
00:27:35,010 --> 00:27:38,050
And it's possible that she's one of those

814
00:27:38,050 --> 00:27:38,350
people.

815
00:27:38,350 --> 00:27:41,190
There are people that are major anchors, not

816
00:27:41,190 --> 00:27:42,490
a lot of them, but there's a few,

817
00:27:43,330 --> 00:27:45,310
which is probably why she's never on, doing

818
00:27:45,310 --> 00:27:50,130
a daily show, that when they're talking, this

819
00:27:50,130 --> 00:27:53,530
is kind of inside baseball, but when you

820
00:27:53,530 --> 00:27:56,550
have this IFB in your ear, and someone's

821
00:27:56,550 --> 00:27:58,970
talking to you, this was expressed, I think,

822
00:27:59,030 --> 00:28:00,410
in the movie Network News.

823
00:28:00,490 --> 00:28:01,710
Yes, entirely, yes.

824
00:28:01,710 --> 00:28:04,210
Where, what's his name, where they could talk

825
00:28:04,210 --> 00:28:07,810
to him, and he could, not too many

826
00:28:07,810 --> 00:28:09,350
people can do this, but they can talk

827
00:28:09,350 --> 00:28:10,390
to you in your ear, and you can

828
00:28:10,390 --> 00:28:13,070
repeat right as they're saying it in real

829
00:28:13,070 --> 00:28:14,950
time, as if you're saying it.

830
00:28:15,730 --> 00:28:18,950
It's a skill, and some people can't, the

831
00:28:18,950 --> 00:28:21,670
skill is like lost on them when the

832
00:28:21,670 --> 00:28:23,950
IFB's going off, and the producer's saying what

833
00:28:23,950 --> 00:28:25,970
you just said.

834
00:28:26,270 --> 00:28:27,530
They're yucking at her.

835
00:28:27,850 --> 00:28:30,690
She can't also listen to the guest.

836
00:28:30,830 --> 00:28:32,990
She can only hear the guy.

837
00:28:32,990 --> 00:28:35,150
She's a one-track mind, so she can

838
00:28:35,150 --> 00:28:36,870
hear the guy in the IFB, and she

839
00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:38,370
can't pay attention at the same time.

840
00:28:39,030 --> 00:28:41,370
Some people can, some people can't.

841
00:28:41,590 --> 00:28:42,410
She can't.

842
00:28:43,190 --> 00:28:45,770
Well, the problem with her is that, and

843
00:28:45,770 --> 00:28:47,190
this is what you shouldn't be doing, she

844
00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:50,010
keeps saying, yeah, yeah, okay, but she keeps

845
00:28:50,010 --> 00:28:52,830
interrupting, because she hears the question in her

846
00:28:52,830 --> 00:28:53,150
ear.

847
00:28:54,210 --> 00:28:56,110
Tom Brokaw could do, he was really good

848
00:28:56,110 --> 00:28:56,510
at that.

849
00:28:56,850 --> 00:28:58,270
I saw that, I think we talked about

850
00:28:58,270 --> 00:29:01,110
it, the launch of MSNBC, and Tom Brokaw

851
00:29:01,110 --> 00:29:03,970
interviewed President Clinton, was it President Clinton?

852
00:29:04,350 --> 00:29:05,490
Yeah, it must have been President Clinton.

853
00:29:07,450 --> 00:29:09,530
And I sat in the control room, because

854
00:29:09,530 --> 00:29:11,250
we had done the chat or something for

855
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:14,830
MSNBC, and it was astounding how good he

856
00:29:14,830 --> 00:29:15,210
was.

857
00:29:15,990 --> 00:29:18,390
It was just, you know, he's talking, he's

858
00:29:18,390 --> 00:29:20,970
listening, they're yelling in his ear, and they're

859
00:29:20,970 --> 00:29:23,570
just, I mean, that guy was really good.

860
00:29:24,330 --> 00:29:26,810
Yeah, that's what you're supposed, that is those

861
00:29:26,810 --> 00:29:28,630
guys, it's non-trivial.

862
00:29:28,630 --> 00:29:31,410
He, I don't believe, can even come close

863
00:29:31,410 --> 00:29:32,490
to doing any of that.

864
00:29:32,770 --> 00:29:35,050
Or you could just go on Joe Rogan

865
00:29:35,050 --> 00:29:36,710
and take three hours and take your time

866
00:29:36,710 --> 00:29:38,290
and have a nice conversation and get some

867
00:29:38,290 --> 00:29:39,570
real information out of it.

868
00:29:40,170 --> 00:29:42,310
This is the problem with a linear broadcast

869
00:29:42,310 --> 00:29:42,870
system.

870
00:29:43,850 --> 00:29:46,530
It's just not conducive anymore to what people

871
00:29:46,530 --> 00:29:46,990
want.

872
00:29:47,630 --> 00:29:50,270
Like, tell me more, instead of penguins.

873
00:29:51,150 --> 00:29:53,910
So we go over to Kevin Hassert, he's

874
00:29:53,910 --> 00:29:56,070
the director of the National Economic Council, he

875
00:29:56,070 --> 00:29:58,050
showed up this morning on ABC This Week,

876
00:29:59,570 --> 00:30:02,330
and he had a number of interesting things

877
00:30:02,330 --> 00:30:03,050
to say.

878
00:30:04,190 --> 00:30:07,250
So this is, now Stephanopoulos is going to

879
00:30:07,250 --> 00:30:11,350
focus on prices and taxes and prices and

880
00:30:11,350 --> 00:30:14,850
taxes and taxes and prices, and Hassert is

881
00:30:14,850 --> 00:30:16,230
going to give him a piece of his

882
00:30:16,230 --> 00:30:16,490
mind.

883
00:30:16,590 --> 00:30:18,110
Where do you base your conclusion that you're

884
00:30:18,110 --> 00:30:19,250
not going to see an increase in prices?

885
00:30:19,330 --> 00:30:21,290
Just about every economist who's looked at this

886
00:30:21,290 --> 00:30:22,570
said you are going to see an increase

887
00:30:22,570 --> 00:30:25,470
in prices, including Goldman Sachs, including J.P.

888
00:30:25,530 --> 00:30:27,170
Morgan, including the chairman of the Federal Reserve.

889
00:30:27,170 --> 00:30:29,130
Well, there might be some increase in prices,

890
00:30:29,290 --> 00:30:30,450
but the fact is that if there were

891
00:30:30,450 --> 00:30:32,390
going to be a heavy burden on the

892
00:30:32,390 --> 00:30:34,790
U.S. consumer, then this trade deficit that

893
00:30:34,790 --> 00:30:36,970
for 30 years we've seen, really since China

894
00:30:36,970 --> 00:30:39,710
entered the WTO, would be something that would

895
00:30:39,710 --> 00:30:40,530
have gone down.

896
00:30:40,590 --> 00:30:41,790
It would have gone down over time.

897
00:30:41,890 --> 00:30:43,230
It would have responded to the prices.

898
00:30:43,590 --> 00:30:45,050
The bottom line is that China entered the

899
00:30:45,050 --> 00:30:46,750
WTO in 2000.

900
00:30:47,250 --> 00:30:49,550
In the 15 years that followed, real incomes

901
00:30:49,550 --> 00:30:52,610
declined about $1,200 cumulatively over that time.

902
00:30:52,950 --> 00:30:54,510
And so if cheap goods were the answer,

903
00:30:54,510 --> 00:30:56,010
if cheap goods were going to make Americans'

904
00:30:56,150 --> 00:30:58,650
real wages, real welfare better off, then real

905
00:30:58,650 --> 00:31:00,030
incomes would have gone up over that time.

906
00:31:00,170 --> 00:31:02,290
Instead, they went down because wages went down

907
00:31:02,290 --> 00:31:03,790
more than prices went down.

908
00:31:03,790 --> 00:31:05,410
So we got the cheap goods at the

909
00:31:05,410 --> 00:31:07,310
grocery store, but then we had fewer jobs.

910
00:31:07,610 --> 00:31:10,110
And that's why President Obama and Chuck Schumer

911
00:31:10,110 --> 00:31:13,010
and Nancy Pelosi and President Trump have come

912
00:31:13,010 --> 00:31:14,030
out saying we've got to come up with

913
00:31:14,030 --> 00:31:16,070
a better policy, a policy that treats our

914
00:31:16,070 --> 00:31:17,910
workers fairly compared to everybody else.

915
00:31:18,010 --> 00:31:19,990
And now President Trump, true to his word,

916
00:31:20,070 --> 00:31:21,570
just like he promised during the campaign, just

917
00:31:21,570 --> 00:31:24,050
like he put into his campaign platform, he's

918
00:31:24,050 --> 00:31:24,790
delivering on his word.

919
00:31:26,730 --> 00:31:27,210
Okay.

920
00:31:28,850 --> 00:31:30,770
Hassard, by the way, was a professor of

921
00:31:30,770 --> 00:31:32,330
economics at Columbia.

922
00:31:33,750 --> 00:31:35,150
I guess he also wrote a book.

923
00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:39,670
I don't know if he was...

924
00:31:39,670 --> 00:31:41,610
It was in 1999.

925
00:31:42,430 --> 00:31:44,970
Dow 36,000, the new strategy for profiting

926
00:31:44,970 --> 00:31:46,990
from the coming rise in the stock market.

927
00:31:47,290 --> 00:31:49,590
I don't think his track record is so

928
00:31:49,590 --> 00:31:52,530
good as it was published just before the

929
00:31:52,530 --> 00:31:53,810
dot-com bubble burst.

930
00:31:55,970 --> 00:31:56,470
So...

931
00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:57,810
It did go over 36,000.

932
00:31:57,950 --> 00:31:59,270
He was right about that.

933
00:32:00,690 --> 00:32:01,770
It's just timing.

934
00:32:03,170 --> 00:32:04,170
I'm always...

935
00:32:04,170 --> 00:32:05,410
I guess I get to say it.

936
00:32:05,430 --> 00:32:06,510
I'm always surprised.

937
00:32:06,670 --> 00:32:09,270
I'm amazed that people will be sending me,

938
00:32:09,570 --> 00:32:11,510
hey, I know what the tariffs are about.

939
00:32:12,050 --> 00:32:14,890
$9 trillion has to be refied this year.

940
00:32:15,170 --> 00:32:17,630
There's $3 trillion coming up in April and

941
00:32:17,630 --> 00:32:17,870
May.

942
00:32:18,170 --> 00:32:19,410
This is probably what it's about.

943
00:32:19,410 --> 00:32:20,130
I'm like, yeah.

944
00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:22,470
Did you listen to us on March 13th?

945
00:32:25,490 --> 00:32:27,650
So we've already been all over this.

946
00:32:28,110 --> 00:32:33,230
And it appears, certainly from the president's truth

947
00:32:33,230 --> 00:32:36,930
on Truth Social, that he was hoping that

948
00:32:36,930 --> 00:32:39,830
the Federal Reserve would lower the interest rates

949
00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:40,830
and this came up.

950
00:32:41,790 --> 00:32:42,930
Yeah, he bitched about that.

951
00:32:43,010 --> 00:32:45,310
Yeah, and was this a strategy, he asks

952
00:32:45,310 --> 00:32:45,830
George.

953
00:32:45,830 --> 00:32:48,410
Also on Truth Social, the president retweeted a

954
00:32:48,410 --> 00:32:49,970
post that said the market drop was part

955
00:32:49,970 --> 00:32:52,490
of a deliberate strategy to force the Fed

956
00:32:52,490 --> 00:32:53,770
to lower interest rates.

957
00:32:54,190 --> 00:32:55,550
Is that the president's strategy?

958
00:32:55,950 --> 00:32:57,610
He just said it on Truth Social.

959
00:32:58,250 --> 00:33:00,430
Why are you asking if that's his strategy?

960
00:33:00,730 --> 00:33:02,030
If not, why did he post it?

961
00:33:05,430 --> 00:33:07,250
He just posted it as a joke.

962
00:33:07,350 --> 00:33:09,070
Yeah, he was just gaffing.

963
00:33:09,130 --> 00:33:10,870
The bottom line is the president has been

964
00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:12,590
talking about tariffs for 40 years.

965
00:33:13,010 --> 00:33:15,870
And this has been absolutely the policy that

966
00:33:15,870 --> 00:33:17,950
he's focused on in the campaign and throughout

967
00:33:17,950 --> 00:33:18,950
his political career.

968
00:33:19,510 --> 00:33:22,110
And the cyclical cycle of the Fed, it

969
00:33:22,110 --> 00:33:23,570
comes and goes, that's a different matter.

970
00:33:23,710 --> 00:33:26,250
But this is President Trump's desired policy.

971
00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:28,170
He's been arguing for it ever since I

972
00:33:28,170 --> 00:33:29,390
think he was on The View 30, 40

973
00:33:29,390 --> 00:33:29,910
years ago.

974
00:33:30,350 --> 00:33:33,590
And the baseline tariffs is exactly what he

975
00:33:33,590 --> 00:33:34,970
put into the convention.

976
00:33:35,250 --> 00:33:36,930
So this is not a surprise for anyone.

977
00:33:36,990 --> 00:33:38,650
But is it his strategy to force the

978
00:33:38,650 --> 00:33:39,910
Fed to lower interest rates and that the

979
00:33:39,910 --> 00:33:41,690
market crash was part of that strategy?

980
00:33:41,690 --> 00:33:42,870
We understand the Fed is an independent agency.

981
00:33:43,050 --> 00:33:44,250
We respect the independence of the Fed.

982
00:33:44,430 --> 00:33:45,710
Yeah, but that's not good enough for me.

983
00:33:45,750 --> 00:33:46,490
Is it a strategy?

984
00:33:46,490 --> 00:33:49,070
So that is his strategy, tank the market

985
00:33:49,070 --> 00:33:50,790
so the Fed- No, no, no.

986
00:33:50,850 --> 00:33:51,950
Well, you just said the president is allowed

987
00:33:51,950 --> 00:33:52,490
to have an opinion.

988
00:33:52,630 --> 00:33:53,190
Is that his opinion?

989
00:33:53,350 --> 00:33:58,070
No, this guy is about to fall apart,

990
00:33:58,170 --> 00:33:58,910
this Hassett guy.

991
00:33:59,350 --> 00:34:01,290
He's trying to deliver for American workers.

992
00:34:01,790 --> 00:34:03,010
I mean, what would you have him do?

993
00:34:03,170 --> 00:34:05,370
Again, real wages down 15 years in a

994
00:34:05,370 --> 00:34:08,030
row under the previous policy and that's why

995
00:34:08,030 --> 00:34:08,909
Americans voted for him.

996
00:34:08,929 --> 00:34:11,090
They brought him in to turn the economy

997
00:34:11,090 --> 00:34:12,610
around for the American worker and that's what

998
00:34:12,610 --> 00:34:13,230
he's focused on.

999
00:34:13,310 --> 00:34:14,469
I'm just trying to get some clarity.

1000
00:34:14,670 --> 00:34:20,429
Is that the president's strategy or not?

1001
00:34:20,489 --> 00:34:21,190
He posted it.

1002
00:34:21,469 --> 00:34:23,969
He said the strategy is for the markets

1003
00:34:23,969 --> 00:34:26,070
to crash so the Fed lowers interest rates.

1004
00:34:26,170 --> 00:34:27,510
Is that- It's not a strategy for

1005
00:34:27,510 --> 00:34:28,389
the markets to crash.

1006
00:34:28,530 --> 00:34:32,110
It's a strategy to create a gold mage

1007
00:34:32,110 --> 00:34:33,310
in America for the American worker.

1008
00:34:33,449 --> 00:34:34,150
That's his strategy.

1009
00:34:34,810 --> 00:34:36,530
JPMorgan says the risk of a recession has

1010
00:34:36,530 --> 00:34:37,570
climbed to 60%.

1011
00:34:37,570 --> 00:34:38,230
Your response?

1012
00:34:38,690 --> 00:34:40,770
We just had one of the stronger jobs

1013
00:34:40,770 --> 00:34:42,010
reports I've seen in a long time.

1014
00:34:42,110 --> 00:34:43,770
It was about 50% better than markets

1015
00:34:43,770 --> 00:34:44,170
expected.

1016
00:34:44,790 --> 00:34:46,070
It's the second one in a row.

1017
00:34:46,429 --> 00:34:48,730
We've created already something like 10,000 auto

1018
00:34:48,730 --> 00:34:50,790
jobs since President Trump took office.

1019
00:34:50,790 --> 00:34:53,290
I just got word, anecdotal word last night,

1020
00:34:53,570 --> 00:34:55,530
that auto plants are adding second shifts in

1021
00:34:55,530 --> 00:34:57,270
the U.S. in order to respond to

1022
00:34:57,270 --> 00:34:57,830
this tariffs.

1023
00:34:59,550 --> 00:35:00,850
Nissan in particular.

1024
00:35:01,090 --> 00:35:01,550
What's that?

1025
00:35:01,910 --> 00:35:02,330
Oh, Nissan.

1026
00:35:02,890 --> 00:35:04,070
That's a big factory here.

1027
00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:06,570
They decided to double production or something.

1028
00:35:06,750 --> 00:35:08,190
They figured they could really take advantage of

1029
00:35:08,190 --> 00:35:08,950
the situation.

1030
00:35:09,210 --> 00:35:10,310
I have a couple of tariffs.

1031
00:35:10,310 --> 00:35:13,010
I have two more clips here.

1032
00:35:14,010 --> 00:35:17,550
This is where Hassett makes a crucial mistake

1033
00:35:17,550 --> 00:35:21,150
and Stephanopoulos is going to hound him for

1034
00:35:21,150 --> 00:35:21,370
it.

1035
00:35:21,390 --> 00:35:22,890
But a tariff is a tax increase, isn't

1036
00:35:22,890 --> 00:35:23,050
it?

1037
00:35:23,450 --> 00:35:26,090
A tariff is a form of tax.

1038
00:35:26,210 --> 00:35:26,630
It's a way- Oh, no!

1039
00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:29,490
to collect revenue when you import products, yes.

1040
00:35:29,910 --> 00:35:31,530
And consumers pay that tax, correct?

1041
00:35:31,830 --> 00:35:34,110
No, because it depends on supply and demand.

1042
00:35:34,650 --> 00:35:37,830
Again, if you thought consumers are going to

1043
00:35:37,830 --> 00:35:39,630
pay that tax, then you should be puzzled

1044
00:35:39,630 --> 00:35:41,410
about- Now he's saying tax.

1045
00:35:41,510 --> 00:35:43,210
Why does countries are upset about it?

1046
00:35:43,850 --> 00:35:48,470
Well, I'm focused on the consumers right now.

1047
00:35:48,590 --> 00:35:50,330
You've conceded the prices are going to go

1048
00:35:50,330 --> 00:35:51,650
up because of the tariffs.

1049
00:35:51,670 --> 00:35:52,830
They might go up some, but not nearly

1050
00:35:52,830 --> 00:35:55,190
as much as you implied in your piece.

1051
00:35:55,330 --> 00:35:57,010
And the reason is that the supply isn't

1052
00:35:57,010 --> 00:35:57,770
elastic in China.

1053
00:35:58,170 --> 00:35:59,610
Again, I'll give you the simple example.

1054
00:35:59,730 --> 00:36:00,930
If you have an apple tree that has

1055
00:36:00,930 --> 00:36:03,830
100 apples, and then you're paying $1 an

1056
00:36:03,830 --> 00:36:05,690
apple, and then there's a $0.10 tax,

1057
00:36:05,850 --> 00:36:07,630
then if people if you raise the price

1058
00:36:07,630 --> 00:36:09,410
to $1.10, people reduce their demand.

1059
00:36:09,790 --> 00:36:11,530
So maybe they only demand 90 apples, but

1060
00:36:11,530 --> 00:36:12,610
then you've got 10 apples left.

1061
00:36:12,690 --> 00:36:13,510
So what are you supposed to do with

1062
00:36:13,510 --> 00:36:14,730
the 10 apples that nobody wants?

1063
00:36:14,730 --> 00:36:16,410
So what happens is the suppliers have to

1064
00:36:16,410 --> 00:36:18,210
lower the price of apples in order to

1065
00:36:18,210 --> 00:36:18,890
get back to $100.

1066
00:36:19,350 --> 00:36:21,670
And so the question is, is supply inelastic

1067
00:36:21,670 --> 00:36:22,230
or not?

1068
00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:24,570
And I think that by seeing persistent trade

1069
00:36:24,570 --> 00:36:26,670
deficits year after year after year, then we

1070
00:36:26,670 --> 00:36:28,270
can say, yeah, supply is very inelastic.

1071
00:36:28,710 --> 00:36:30,210
So you're saying consumers are either going to

1072
00:36:30,210 --> 00:36:31,870
have to buy less or pay more, but

1073
00:36:31,870 --> 00:36:32,830
the tariff is a tax.

1074
00:36:32,950 --> 00:36:33,970
You just conceded it.

1075
00:36:34,510 --> 00:36:36,790
No, what happens is that the supplier cuts

1076
00:36:36,790 --> 00:36:38,130
his price so that the price is still

1077
00:36:38,130 --> 00:36:38,430
$1.

1078
00:36:38,630 --> 00:36:39,210
Good buying example.

1079
00:36:39,370 --> 00:36:40,710
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.

1080
00:36:41,030 --> 00:36:42,370
You screwed that one up.

1081
00:36:42,370 --> 00:36:43,970
The whole thing is screwed up.

1082
00:36:44,170 --> 00:36:45,390
Here's the question.

1083
00:36:45,550 --> 00:36:47,950
You should turn these questions around on these

1084
00:36:47,950 --> 00:36:48,610
interviewers.

1085
00:36:48,670 --> 00:36:51,710
And one example is, why is it if

1086
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:54,710
it's the American consumer is going to pay

1087
00:36:54,710 --> 00:36:58,070
more for something, thus being a quasi tax.

1088
00:36:58,250 --> 00:37:01,130
How come Range Rover, for example, who sends,

1089
00:37:01,270 --> 00:37:03,070
I think, 100,000 vehicles to the United

1090
00:37:03,070 --> 00:37:05,590
States every year out of a production of

1091
00:37:05,590 --> 00:37:09,090
400,000, they send 100,000 vehicles to

1092
00:37:09,090 --> 00:37:09,910
the United States.

1093
00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:12,590
They decided to not send any because they

1094
00:37:12,590 --> 00:37:13,710
don't want to pay the tariffs.

1095
00:37:13,990 --> 00:37:14,630
You mean the tax?

1096
00:37:14,650 --> 00:37:15,430
How does that work?

1097
00:37:15,990 --> 00:37:18,550
Well, or just, I mean, as we discussed

1098
00:37:18,550 --> 00:37:20,890
on the last show, the real thing you

1099
00:37:20,890 --> 00:37:23,070
say is, well, then why would China try

1100
00:37:23,070 --> 00:37:25,130
and hurt its people with a 34%

1101
00:37:25,130 --> 00:37:26,210
increase in tariffs?

1102
00:37:26,370 --> 00:37:27,170
It's a tax.

1103
00:37:27,350 --> 00:37:28,770
Are they trying to kill their people?

1104
00:37:28,770 --> 00:37:28,890
That's another example.

1105
00:37:29,090 --> 00:37:31,390
You can turn these questions around.

1106
00:37:32,750 --> 00:37:36,090
It's Trump usually has guys that can do

1107
00:37:36,090 --> 00:37:36,250
that.

1108
00:37:36,270 --> 00:37:39,170
Yeah, but Hassard, he went to Apple's.

1109
00:37:39,210 --> 00:37:39,390
No.

1110
00:37:40,450 --> 00:37:40,890
Sorry.

1111
00:37:41,050 --> 00:37:43,610
Someone needs some media training over there.

1112
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,200
He's no good.

1113
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,660
Curry Dvorak Consulting Group is available.

1114
00:37:49,940 --> 00:37:53,000
Being badgered by, of all people, Stephanopoulos.

1115
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,200
You can back him off by saying, you

1116
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,420
just keep repeating the same question over and

1117
00:37:57,420 --> 00:37:57,600
over.

1118
00:37:57,700 --> 00:37:58,540
What am I supposed to do?

1119
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,300
I'm going to answer it the same way.

1120
00:38:00,380 --> 00:38:01,660
You're just going to bore people stiff with

1121
00:38:01,660 --> 00:38:03,300
the same question over and over and over

1122
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:04,800
and over until I change my answer?

1123
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:05,660
What are you doing here?

1124
00:38:06,180 --> 00:38:08,100
Dvorak for Commerce Secretary.

1125
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:11,620
I mean, Director of the National Economic Council,

1126
00:38:11,740 --> 00:38:12,020
whatever.

1127
00:38:12,340 --> 00:38:12,820
You could do it.

1128
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:13,540
You could do it.

1129
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:15,340
You'd be good.

1130
00:38:16,860 --> 00:38:18,000
All right, you had clips?

1131
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:19,100
Yeah, I have a couple.

1132
00:38:19,260 --> 00:38:20,000
I don't have a lot.

1133
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:20,900
But I have the tariffs.

1134
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,160
Here's the rundown from NPR that's just a

1135
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:23,520
backup.

1136
00:38:23,980 --> 00:38:25,540
It was a general overview.

1137
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,780
Businesses and stock markets around the world are

1138
00:38:27,780 --> 00:38:30,780
reeling from President Trump's new 10% tariffs

1139
00:38:30,780 --> 00:38:31,860
on nearly everything.

1140
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,380
The U.S. imports, those went into effect

1141
00:38:34,380 --> 00:38:34,780
today.

1142
00:38:35,180 --> 00:38:37,460
25% tariffs on foreign-made autos are

1143
00:38:37,460 --> 00:38:38,500
also in effect.

1144
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,680
That'll set Wall Street lower for its worst

1145
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:41,720
week in five years.

1146
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,240
China hit back, announcing a 34% tariff

1147
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:46,800
on all American goods.

1148
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,520
NPR's Scott Horsley has more.

1149
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,900
For decades, Trump has nursed this grievance that

1150
00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:54,680
other countries are taking advantage of the U

1151
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,700
.S., and he has a kind of steam

1152
00:38:56,700 --> 00:38:57,420
-driven nostalgia.

1153
00:38:57,420 --> 00:38:58,140
Hold on a second.

1154
00:38:58,480 --> 00:38:59,260
I didn't catch this.

1155
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,060
This is a kind of a, oh, bullcrap.

1156
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,940
This is a Oh, he's been nursing this

1157
00:39:06,940 --> 00:39:10,900
grievance, and it's like as if other people

1158
00:39:10,900 --> 00:39:12,180
are taking advantage.

1159
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,240
I mean, the way this is this haughty

1160
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,720
presentation of the facts, it's just...

1161
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:22,920
We've been doing this for over 17 years.

1162
00:39:23,020 --> 00:39:24,540
Will these people ever stop?

1163
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,840
Well, they don't listen to the show.

1164
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,500
For decades, Trump has nursed this grievance that

1165
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:34,300
other countries are taking advantage of the U

1166
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:36,320
.S., and he has a kind of steam

1167
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,380
-driven nostalgia for the Gilded Age, when the

1168
00:39:39,380 --> 00:39:41,260
U.S. was less globally connected.

1169
00:39:41,620 --> 00:39:43,500
You heard him talk about that period before

1170
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:44,600
1913.

1171
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:45,780
Why that year?

1172
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,800
That's when the U.S. adopted the income

1173
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:48,200
tax.

1174
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,580
Now, Trump wants to cut the income tax

1175
00:39:50,580 --> 00:39:52,740
and replace some of that revenue with his

1176
00:39:52,740 --> 00:39:53,260
new tariff.

1177
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:56,280
That would be good for wealthy Americans, who

1178
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,720
would get most of the benefit of the

1179
00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:59,600
tax cut, but it's not so good for

1180
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,220
lower-income families, who will have to pay

1181
00:40:01,220 --> 00:40:04,380
more for imported food and clothes and other

1182
00:40:04,380 --> 00:40:04,900
necessities.

1183
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:06,900
I had to stop.

1184
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,980
Because the poor people won't be able to...

1185
00:40:10,980 --> 00:40:12,260
They're going to have to pay more for

1186
00:40:12,260 --> 00:40:13,860
their imported caviar.

1187
00:40:14,620 --> 00:40:16,460
The poor people have to pay more for

1188
00:40:16,460 --> 00:40:17,680
their imported food.

1189
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,640
What poor people eat imported food?

1190
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,420
They're eating stuff out of a bag with

1191
00:40:24,420 --> 00:40:25,180
a barcode.

1192
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,040
Give me a break.

1193
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,020
Okay, good.

1194
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,300
I'm glad you got that.

1195
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,740
Here's a local report from CBS, I think,

1196
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,620
in Florida, about the tax plan, and the

1197
00:40:34,620 --> 00:40:36,020
Senate seems like it's taking it up.

1198
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,520
Over the weekend, Senate Republicans are set to

1199
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,140
take a major step in the direction of

1200
00:40:40,140 --> 00:40:42,700
passing President Trump's agenda, teeing up a vote

1201
00:40:42,700 --> 00:40:44,860
later this year on a tax cut package

1202
00:40:44,860 --> 00:40:46,860
paid for by cutting government spending.

1203
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:48,880
The bill would most likely include an extension

1204
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,440
of the President's signature legislative accomplishment from his

1205
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,220
first term, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs

1206
00:40:54,220 --> 00:40:56,920
Act, which raised the standard deduction for taxpayers,

1207
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:58,900
but will expire at the end of this

1208
00:40:58,900 --> 00:41:00,420
year if no action is taken.

1209
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,720
The bill could also accomplish other large pieces

1210
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:06,060
of Trump's agenda, including tax incentives he campaigned

1211
00:41:06,060 --> 00:41:08,340
on, like no tax on tips, no tax

1212
00:41:08,340 --> 00:41:10,980
on overtime, no tax on Social Security benefits,

1213
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,300
and raising the state and local tax deduction,

1214
00:41:13,460 --> 00:41:14,260
or SALT cap.

1215
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,580
That sounds like nothing but tax cuts for

1216
00:41:16,580 --> 00:41:17,160
rich people.

1217
00:41:17,340 --> 00:41:19,120
But some of the plan's largest pieces haven't

1218
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,380
been ironed out yet, with Republicans still looking

1219
00:41:21,380 --> 00:41:23,220
for ways to pay for some of these

1220
00:41:23,220 --> 00:41:23,860
tax cuts.

1221
00:41:24,180 --> 00:41:26,580
Democrats on Capitol Hill saying they will oppose

1222
00:41:26,580 --> 00:41:29,200
the Republican plan, and claim Republicans will cut

1223
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,840
Medicaid and other social services to cover the

1224
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:32,620
plan's cost.

1225
00:41:32,780 --> 00:41:34,560
The job of the Democrats over the next

1226
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,840
36 hours is to hold the Republicans' feet

1227
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,300
to the fire, force them to tell the

1228
00:41:40,300 --> 00:41:43,060
truth about what they want to do to

1229
00:41:43,060 --> 00:41:46,700
the American economy, and what they believe fairness

1230
00:41:46,700 --> 00:41:48,500
is, and that is a country that works

1231
00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:51,720
for a handful of billionaires, and lets everybody

1232
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:52,720
else eat dirt.

1233
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,960
Though this past week, Republicans- We're going

1234
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:55,420
to eat dirt.

1235
00:41:55,900 --> 00:41:57,700
It's not even canned goods.

1236
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:58,720
You're eating dirt.

1237
00:41:59,020 --> 00:41:59,520
You're eating dirt.

1238
00:41:59,700 --> 00:42:02,160
Past week, Republicans notched two victories in special

1239
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,060
elections in Florida, clawing back two vacant Republican

1240
00:42:05,060 --> 00:42:05,860
-friendly seats.

1241
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,560
House Republicans still have an extremely slim majority

1242
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:09,380
in Congress.

1243
00:42:09,780 --> 00:42:11,720
The horse trading necessary to reach an agreement

1244
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:14,580
that nearly all Republicans can support could prove

1245
00:42:14,580 --> 00:42:15,860
to be extremely difficult.

1246
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:17,820
House Speaker Mike Johnson claims to have the

1247
00:42:17,820 --> 00:42:20,480
smallest Republican majority in American history, and says

1248
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,340
he wants to pass the finished bill in

1249
00:42:22,340 --> 00:42:23,140
the next couple months.

1250
00:42:23,460 --> 00:42:25,260
I didn't know it was the smallest majority

1251
00:42:25,260 --> 00:42:26,440
in American history.

1252
00:42:26,620 --> 00:42:27,480
That doesn't make any sense.

1253
00:42:27,500 --> 00:42:30,880
It's pretty small, but if you're a reporter,

1254
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:32,560
he claims.

1255
00:42:34,140 --> 00:42:36,860
Why don't you just look it up, reporter?

1256
00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:42,460
It would take two seconds.

1257
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,640
Any of the AI search engines could do

1258
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:45,800
it.

1259
00:42:46,060 --> 00:42:48,200
Is this the smallest majority in history?

1260
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:49,480
You look it up.

1261
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,400
Instead, you say he claims.

1262
00:42:51,820 --> 00:42:53,300
It could prove to be extremely difficult.

1263
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,300
House Speaker Mike Johnson claims to have the

1264
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:57,920
smallest Republican majority in American history, and says

1265
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,780
he wants to pass the finished bill in

1266
00:42:59,780 --> 00:43:01,980
the next couple months, timing that could prove

1267
00:43:01,980 --> 00:43:03,160
to be extremely tricky.

1268
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,740
So imagine my surprise when I got this

1269
00:43:05,740 --> 00:43:08,080
report from KTLA in Los Angeles.

1270
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:09,960
This is the local Jamoke guy.

1271
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:11,520
He's a...

1272
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,600
I was just surprised that he got...

1273
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:14,940
The local Jamoke.

1274
00:43:14,940 --> 00:43:16,460
That's an actual show title.

1275
00:43:16,740 --> 00:43:20,480
It's a position within every news...

1276
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,580
We go now to our local Jamoke in

1277
00:43:23,580 --> 00:43:25,340
Los Angeles about the trade war.

1278
00:43:25,500 --> 00:43:27,340
What's interesting about the super-rich is back

1279
00:43:27,340 --> 00:43:30,180
in the 19th century, early 20th century, much

1280
00:43:30,180 --> 00:43:32,280
if not most of their wealth was tied

1281
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:33,980
to actual things.

1282
00:43:34,540 --> 00:43:35,100
Railroads.

1283
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:36,160
Factories.

1284
00:43:36,340 --> 00:43:37,180
That sort of thing.

1285
00:43:37,540 --> 00:43:40,100
Nowadays, the super-rich have their money almost

1286
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:41,900
exclusively in stocks.

1287
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,060
So when the stock market does well, they

1288
00:43:44,060 --> 00:43:44,860
get much richer.

1289
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,320
When the stock market has a bad day,

1290
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,000
like today, they get poorer.

1291
00:43:50,300 --> 00:43:52,000
And that's obviously a big deal for them

1292
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,740
because these guys keep score in dollar signs.

1293
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,040
Now, what makes this more interesting is that

1294
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,500
President Trump has been largely immune to criticism

1295
00:43:59,500 --> 00:44:01,160
from, well, the Hoy Polloy.

1296
00:44:01,540 --> 00:44:03,800
But he does listen to his peers in

1297
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,760
the millionaire and billionaire class.

1298
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,280
I think it's a fair bet to say

1299
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,240
that a number of rich people will be

1300
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:11,640
calling the White House to say, dude, what's

1301
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:12,280
going on?

1302
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,460
Moreover, worth pointing out, this is the wealthiest

1303
00:44:15,460 --> 00:44:17,780
cabinet in the White House ever.

1304
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,600
More billionaires sitting in that building than ever

1305
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:21,100
before.

1306
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,240
It's hard not to think that more than

1307
00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:25,100
one or two are walking down the hall

1308
00:44:25,100 --> 00:44:27,100
to the Oval Office and saying, uh, Mr.

1309
00:44:27,220 --> 00:44:29,120
President, sir, can I have a moment?

1310
00:44:29,780 --> 00:44:29,940
Yeah.

1311
00:44:30,260 --> 00:44:31,440
Doesn't that say something?

1312
00:44:31,540 --> 00:44:32,220
Local joke?

1313
00:44:32,820 --> 00:44:33,540
I thought that was it.

1314
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,800
Now, contrast that with Senator Chuck Schumer.

1315
00:44:38,140 --> 00:44:39,780
And why is he doing these tariffs?

1316
00:44:40,140 --> 00:44:41,800
Why would he do something like this?

1317
00:44:41,860 --> 00:44:44,200
Because the Republican Party is in the vice

1318
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,840
grip of a group of very greedy billionaires.

1319
00:44:47,980 --> 00:44:49,100
They have a billionaire bubble.

1320
00:44:49,580 --> 00:44:50,380
And they say yes.

1321
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,740
Oh, by the way, he's got lots of

1322
00:44:52,740 --> 00:44:53,440
alliteration.

1323
00:44:53,580 --> 00:44:55,820
He's trying to launch all kinds of meme

1324
00:44:55,820 --> 00:44:56,360
phrases.

1325
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:57,800
The billionaire bubble.

1326
00:44:58,220 --> 00:44:59,020
A billionaire bubble.

1327
00:44:59,460 --> 00:45:00,080
And they say yes.

1328
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,080
All this money from tariffs could help make

1329
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:02,960
our taxes lower.

1330
00:45:03,340 --> 00:45:04,060
It's a disgrace.

1331
00:45:04,580 --> 00:45:06,220
It's an absolute disgrace.

1332
00:45:06,220 --> 00:45:09,580
The amendment that we're doing calls for rescinding

1333
00:45:10,300 --> 00:45:13,900
Trump's disastrous chaotic tariffs that are hurting Americans.

1334
00:45:14,260 --> 00:45:15,420
Everything's going to go up.

1335
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:21,100
Groceries, medicines, cars, gasoline, furniture, clothing.

1336
00:45:21,380 --> 00:45:23,140
So far gasoline is down.

1337
00:45:23,460 --> 00:45:23,760
Okay.

1338
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:24,500
Everything will go up.

1339
00:45:24,500 --> 00:45:26,660
Yeah, but there's been almost a collapse of

1340
00:45:26,660 --> 00:45:27,460
the oil market.

1341
00:45:27,540 --> 00:45:28,980
Yeah, I have a clip on that.

1342
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:29,920
But let me just finish Schumer.

1343
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,220
You name it, it's going to go up.

1344
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,240
Because this is across the board, across the

1345
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:35,640
world.

1346
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,440
And by the way, businesses hate this.

1347
00:45:38,660 --> 00:45:39,760
Not just big businesses.

1348
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:41,000
Small businesses.

1349
00:45:41,620 --> 00:45:42,520
They need certainty.

1350
00:45:43,180 --> 00:45:44,240
Small businesses.

1351
00:45:44,380 --> 00:45:48,620
I got a text from Justin at Opie

1352
00:45:48,620 --> 00:45:48,940
Way.

1353
00:45:49,220 --> 00:45:51,220
You know, he started Pearl Boot after their

1354
00:45:51,220 --> 00:45:53,940
Opie Way shoe company, America Made Shoes, got

1355
00:45:53,940 --> 00:45:56,580
devastated by the hurricane in North Carolina.

1356
00:45:57,700 --> 00:45:58,920
You know what he said?

1357
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,540
He said, I hate Trump for doing this.

1358
00:46:01,540 --> 00:46:03,940
I can't believe he's trying to make it

1359
00:46:03,940 --> 00:46:05,500
easy for me to start a business without

1360
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:06,140
competition.

1361
00:46:08,460 --> 00:46:10,220
I'm a small businessman.

1362
00:46:10,460 --> 00:46:11,060
I hate it.

1363
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,060
And when they hear about...

1364
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,760
Let's say we have a kennel that's doing

1365
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:16,460
well.

1366
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:16,980
Of course.

1367
00:46:17,780 --> 00:46:19,920
And when they hear about all these tariffs

1368
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,200
coming out, they don't hire any new people.

1369
00:46:23,460 --> 00:46:25,120
They don't expand any services.

1370
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,640
They don't build a new plant.

1371
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,800
They say, uh-oh, these tariffs are coming.

1372
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,060
I've got to keep my money in my

1373
00:46:31,060 --> 00:46:31,420
pocket.

1374
00:46:31,660 --> 00:46:33,080
Literally building a new factory.

1375
00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:34,520
A mini factory, but a factory.

1376
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,580
Schumer has never worked a day in his

1377
00:46:37,580 --> 00:46:37,920
life.

1378
00:46:38,020 --> 00:46:39,600
He's been on the public dole.

1379
00:46:39,700 --> 00:46:40,300
He's rich.

1380
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:40,980
Here we go.

1381
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:42,280
The whole thing.

1382
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:43,180
He's just...

1383
00:46:43,180 --> 00:46:45,200
I don't understand why they haven't gotten rid

1384
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:45,680
of him by now.

1385
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,780
I don't know what photos he's got, but

1386
00:46:48,780 --> 00:46:51,220
how he stays in office is killing me.

1387
00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:53,420
Let's wind it up with the meme of

1388
00:46:53,420 --> 00:46:53,640
the week.

1389
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,180
Well, before you wind it up, I have

1390
00:46:55,180 --> 00:46:55,820
a couple more.

1391
00:46:56,020 --> 00:46:56,280
I have 12 seconds.

1392
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:57,800
I have 12 seconds left on this clip.

1393
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,280
You're winding up the whole topic.

1394
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:01,660
No, I'm winding up Schumer.

1395
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:03,480
Schumer.

1396
00:47:03,700 --> 00:47:05,840
I have OPEC, whatever you want.

1397
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:07,960
Let's finish Schumer, because he's going to wind

1398
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,220
it up with the meme of the week.

1399
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,600
...so poorly planned that he's taxing penguins, not

1400
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:14,040
Putin.

1401
00:47:15,380 --> 00:47:17,100
Taxing penguins, not Putin.

1402
00:47:17,240 --> 00:47:18,180
There it is, everybody.

1403
00:47:18,260 --> 00:47:19,960
Because the tax is levied on the Herd

1404
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,740
and McDonald Islands, where only penguins live.

1405
00:47:23,940 --> 00:47:25,180
But he's leaving Russia alone.

1406
00:47:27,020 --> 00:47:28,500
Schumer is behind all this.

1407
00:47:29,380 --> 00:47:31,660
But Schumer is behind these types of things.

1408
00:47:33,500 --> 00:47:34,640
He stinks at it.

1409
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:35,940
Well, yeah.

1410
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,480
Remember the scripted thing that all the senators

1411
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:39,880
were doing?

1412
00:47:39,940 --> 00:47:41,320
He totally stinks at it.

1413
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,920
I have two clips from Bloomberg about the

1414
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,860
OPEC, if you want to do something else.

1415
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:48,380
OPEC's not...

1416
00:47:48,380 --> 00:47:50,500
This is obscure.

1417
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,140
I'm sure you don't have or know about.

1418
00:47:54,700 --> 00:47:57,820
These are two clips about Timu.

1419
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,280
Did you hear about what's...

1420
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,860
I don't know why this has been overlooked.

1421
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,860
This is something you could really drive home

1422
00:48:04,860 --> 00:48:06,340
and really upset people with.

1423
00:48:07,940 --> 00:48:11,900
Timu's dead, and this executive order that I

1424
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:13,960
didn't know about, that hasn't been played up

1425
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,820
in the media for reasons unknown to me,

1426
00:48:15,860 --> 00:48:16,620
because I think it's a good...

1427
00:48:16,620 --> 00:48:17,780
The below $800?

1428
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:20,360
Yeah.

1429
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:20,660
Yeah.

1430
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,500
I think we talked about it.

1431
00:48:23,260 --> 00:48:25,640
Well, it's fairly new, but I think this

1432
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:26,820
presentation's quite good.

1433
00:48:27,260 --> 00:48:29,140
A head-spinning week for the economy.

1434
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:30,540
Hold on a second.

1435
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:33,920
This...

1436
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,040
I mean, come on, man.

1437
00:48:35,220 --> 00:48:36,720
Can't you just put it on the clip,

1438
00:48:36,860 --> 00:48:37,840
like Scott is coming?

1439
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,320
Suffering succotash.

1440
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:40,000
I'm Scott.

1441
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:45,020
Simon.

1442
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,800
A head-spinning week for the economy.

1443
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:47,400
By the way, stop, stop.

1444
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,380
Who put that little...

1445
00:48:49,380 --> 00:48:52,180
What is the point of the air horn

1446
00:48:52,180 --> 00:48:53,420
in the middle of the...

1447
00:48:54,300 --> 00:48:54,880
I'm Scott.

1448
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,340
What is the point of anything on this

1449
00:48:58,340 --> 00:48:58,920
show, John?

1450
00:48:59,100 --> 00:49:00,180
What is the point?

1451
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,920
A head-spinning week for the economy.

1452
00:49:03,780 --> 00:49:05,720
President Trump's tariffs hit in just about every

1453
00:49:05,720 --> 00:49:07,520
nation and every industry.

1454
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:09,960
Here's something that got less attention.

1455
00:49:10,100 --> 00:49:12,000
The president also moved to close a popular

1456
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,900
loophole known as the de minimis rule.

1457
00:49:15,060 --> 00:49:15,440
Yeah, de minimis.

1458
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,280
It allows millions of U.S. shoppers to

1459
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,540
buy products, everything from shoes and underwear to

1460
00:49:19,540 --> 00:49:20,320
lamps and tools.

1461
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,980
Don't you remember that the Postal Service says

1462
00:49:23,980 --> 00:49:26,100
we're not going to be delivering these packages,

1463
00:49:26,260 --> 00:49:27,820
and then they turned it around all of

1464
00:49:27,820 --> 00:49:29,940
a sudden after this executive order came out?

1465
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,580
It was the oddest thing.

1466
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,420
This whole thing is fairly odd, but I've

1467
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,600
been thinking about this, because I like these

1468
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:38,780
cheap...

1469
00:49:38,780 --> 00:49:40,840
I think AliExpress...

1470
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,500
Yeah, you love USB sticks.

1471
00:49:43,500 --> 00:49:45,980
They're junk, but the thing is you get

1472
00:49:45,980 --> 00:49:46,920
this crap.

1473
00:49:47,180 --> 00:49:49,060
It comes straight from China, and it comes

1474
00:49:49,060 --> 00:49:50,920
pretty quickly, and I think there's some sort

1475
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,380
of a deal with the delivery services.

1476
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,680
Now they have their own warehouses in America,

1477
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:57,120
Timu.

1478
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:03,360
So this junk comes in by the boat

1479
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,540
load, and you order like 20 items, and

1480
00:50:06,540 --> 00:50:10,540
the whole bill is like 40 bucks, and

1481
00:50:10,540 --> 00:50:12,720
10 of the items are garbage.

1482
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,320
And the other ones you go, well, I

1483
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:16,560
don't know, maybe this is...

1484
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,680
I have to reiterate, Tina buys all kinds

1485
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:25,380
of clothing stuff, probably in the $70 range,

1486
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:30,200
$45, $75 range, and this is what...

1487
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:31,500
so many women do this.

1488
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,040
They'll order five pieces, and they're going to

1489
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,060
send four back.

1490
00:50:36,060 --> 00:50:38,960
And now it's at the point where, and

1491
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,620
I'm sure this is all coming from China,

1492
00:50:40,780 --> 00:50:45,120
Vietnam, etc., where the company will say, if

1493
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,400
you don't send it back to us, we'll

1494
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,840
give you a 110% credit of what

1495
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:50,340
you paid.

1496
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:53,640
I mean...

1497
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,720
That's got to stop at a certain point.

1498
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,820
They don't want the returns.

1499
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,640
No, because it's junk.

1500
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,960
Directly from retailers in China and Hong Kong.

1501
00:51:05,620 --> 00:51:07,680
Till now, you could make those purchases without

1502
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,080
paying import taxes.

1503
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,080
That's about to change.

1504
00:51:11,260 --> 00:51:13,260
And Pierre's Brian Mann has been following this.

1505
00:51:13,420 --> 00:51:14,540
Brian, thanks for being with us.

1506
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:15,500
Hi there, Scott.

1507
00:51:15,700 --> 00:51:17,360
How big is closing this loophole?

1508
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,420
Well, Scott, it's huge, really, in two ways.

1509
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,220
First, it's going to affect a lot of

1510
00:51:21,220 --> 00:51:23,540
American consumers who have come to rely on

1511
00:51:23,540 --> 00:51:26,480
big Chinese e-commerce firms like Xi'an

1512
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,760
and Temu for a lot of low-cost

1513
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:29,740
products, as you mentioned.

1514
00:51:29,860 --> 00:51:32,080
This is everything from fast fashion to toys

1515
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:32,680
and tools.

1516
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,960
These companies have built global brands marketing on

1517
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,900
social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok where

1518
00:51:38,900 --> 00:51:42,240
influencers celebrate when their packages arrive.

1519
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,080
Check out my latest Xi'an haul.

1520
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,720
Valley flats are trending and this quilted pair

1521
00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:48,020
has a great cushion sole.

1522
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:49,760
With marketing like that, Scott, over the last

1523
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,960
decade, U.S. shoppers fell in love with

1524
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:52,600
these companies.

1525
00:51:53,140 --> 00:51:56,560
Direct-to-consumer international shipments exploded to around

1526
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,660
$54 billion in sales last year, roughly 4

1527
00:52:00,660 --> 00:52:02,860
million packages coming every day.

1528
00:52:03,300 --> 00:52:04,940
What's going to change with Trump's new executive

1529
00:52:04,940 --> 00:52:05,300
order?

1530
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,680
So, under this de minimis rule, shoppers who

1531
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,260
place orders worth under $800, and you can

1532
00:52:10,260 --> 00:52:12,520
get a lot of low-cost dresses or

1533
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,320
office supplies for that amount, they haven't, until

1534
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,100
now, been hit with duties or taxes.

1535
00:52:17,260 --> 00:52:19,220
And they also get their packages really fast

1536
00:52:19,220 --> 00:52:20,900
because they haven't had to wait for the

1537
00:52:20,900 --> 00:52:23,120
usual customs and inspection process.

1538
00:52:23,660 --> 00:52:25,700
But under the president's executive order, that's going

1539
00:52:25,700 --> 00:52:27,740
to come to a screeching halt May 2nd.

1540
00:52:27,860 --> 00:52:30,240
Every package will now face a tariff of

1541
00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:31,080
30%.

1542
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,280
Eventually, anything consumers order in this way is

1543
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,140
going to face a minimum fee of 50

1544
00:52:36,140 --> 00:52:36,540
bucks.

1545
00:52:37,180 --> 00:52:39,140
And remember, if you're buying a $2 t

1546
00:52:39,140 --> 00:52:41,480
-shirt or a $10 skirt, that amount of

1547
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,320
tax is a huge markup.

1548
00:52:43,860 --> 00:52:44,860
Yeah, May 2nd.

1549
00:52:44,900 --> 00:52:45,180
Okay.

1550
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,420
I thought that this had already gone into

1551
00:52:47,420 --> 00:52:47,880
effect.

1552
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:49,520
Is this a new report?

1553
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:51,720
Yeah, this came yesterday.

1554
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:52,600
Okay.

1555
00:52:53,220 --> 00:52:53,960
This is good.

1556
00:52:54,060 --> 00:52:54,760
Yeah, May 2nd.

1557
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,680
So, get your orders in, people.

1558
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,100
Order your junk, get your dresses, your cheap

1559
00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:01,080
dresses and everything.

1560
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:02,520
It's going to be a boom.

1561
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:03,940
They make good cameras.

1562
00:53:05,380 --> 00:53:06,460
I'm doing you.

1563
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,800
No, I'm talking about the Chinese making cameras.

1564
00:53:10,240 --> 00:53:12,720
They make Nikon cameras and other cameras.

1565
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:13,600
Yeah, cameras.

1566
00:53:14,820 --> 00:53:15,380
Cameras.

1567
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,480
Which is, I'm just saying they can make

1568
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:18,660
high quality products.

1569
00:53:18,780 --> 00:53:21,680
I'm not saying Timu and Xian and the

1570
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,600
other operations are making quality products.

1571
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:26,580
And it's probably toxic junk.

1572
00:53:26,900 --> 00:53:29,040
Well, a lot of it stinks.

1573
00:53:29,180 --> 00:53:31,940
I think there's an ad for WeatherTech that

1574
00:53:31,940 --> 00:53:36,560
basically has the kids wearing masks, gas masks,

1575
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:38,920
where they bought the Chinese junk.

1576
00:53:39,420 --> 00:53:40,300
Alright, second.

1577
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:41,760
Because a lot of this stuff does stink.

1578
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:42,820
Oh, yeah.

1579
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:44,460
It's nasty.

1580
00:53:44,700 --> 00:53:46,420
One thing that's interesting here, a study published

1581
00:53:46,420 --> 00:53:48,720
last year predicts this change is going to

1582
00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:51,760
cost Americans more than $10 billion a year

1583
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,100
in higher prices with much of that burden

1584
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:54,440
hitting.

1585
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,300
What is that all about?

1586
00:53:56,540 --> 00:53:59,360
This is assuming they're going to keep buying

1587
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,120
stuff at $50 minimum.

1588
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:04,840
You have to pay $50 over the top,

1589
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,680
plus the tariffs, and you have to wait.

1590
00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:10,040
It's not going to cost the American public

1591
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:10,760
$10 billion.

1592
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,060
The American public is not going to spend

1593
00:54:13,060 --> 00:54:13,500
a nickel.

1594
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,200
No, the American public is going to go,

1595
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:16,580
I don't need that junk.

1596
00:54:16,660 --> 00:54:17,960
It's no longer cheap junk.

1597
00:54:18,620 --> 00:54:19,340
It's just junk.

1598
00:54:19,720 --> 00:54:22,200
This is a bullcrap number.

1599
00:54:23,380 --> 00:54:26,420
Saved or created.

1600
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,000
With much of that burden hitting lower income

1601
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:30,320
shoppers.

1602
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:32,320
Oh, there we go again.

1603
00:54:32,780 --> 00:54:33,720
The lower income.

1604
00:54:33,980 --> 00:54:34,940
The poor people.

1605
00:54:35,240 --> 00:54:37,520
The poor people.

1606
00:54:38,180 --> 00:54:40,820
Buying directly from Chinese and Hong Kong retailers

1607
00:54:40,820 --> 00:54:43,740
is so popular in America.

1608
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:45,380
Why change the rule?

1609
00:54:45,740 --> 00:54:47,220
That's a great question.

1610
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:49,820
And a lot of President Trump's tariffs have

1611
00:54:49,820 --> 00:54:52,800
obviously been controversial, but this move actually has

1612
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,080
broad bipartisan support backing from a bunch of

1613
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,140
different public safety and industry groups.

1614
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,100
And they have really two arguments.

1615
00:55:00,260 --> 00:55:02,560
First, they say this has been unfair competition.

1616
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:06,020
All these cheap, untaxed goods flooding American markets,

1617
00:55:06,220 --> 00:55:08,020
pricing out U.S. manufacturers.

1618
00:55:08,720 --> 00:55:11,480
Second, government officials believe a lot of illegal

1619
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,440
stuff, including street fentanyl, the drug, is coming

1620
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,900
across the border hidden in these packages.

1621
00:55:17,460 --> 00:55:19,400
I spoke about this with Kimberly Glass.

1622
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,180
She heads the National Council of Textile Organization.

1623
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,580
That's a trade group that supports U.S.

1624
00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:25,400
clothes makers.

1625
00:55:25,740 --> 00:55:30,780
It's regrettably facilitated fentanyl and other illicit products

1626
00:55:30,780 --> 00:55:34,040
like forced labor products to our front doors,

1627
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,460
on our steps, babies products that are failing

1628
00:55:37,460 --> 00:55:39,660
to meet FDA standards.

1629
00:55:39,900 --> 00:55:41,460
Now I should say these big e-commerce

1630
00:55:41,460 --> 00:55:43,440
companies like Xi'an and Temu say they

1631
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,140
do have ethical supply chains and quality control.

1632
00:55:46,140 --> 00:55:48,280
But what we know is that this change,

1633
00:55:48,420 --> 00:55:49,800
it's going to be a huge blow to

1634
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:50,680
their business model.

1635
00:55:51,660 --> 00:55:53,640
Brian, this executive order only affects shipments from

1636
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:54,900
China and Hong Kong.

1637
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,520
What about products that are sold directly from

1638
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:58,200
other countries?

1639
00:55:58,740 --> 00:56:01,620
Yeah, so for now, shoppers can still buy

1640
00:56:01,620 --> 00:56:04,340
directly from retailers shipping from other countries like

1641
00:56:04,340 --> 00:56:06,140
Bangladesh, India, and Vietnam.

1642
00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:09,140
But the Trump administration has signaled that it

1643
00:56:09,140 --> 00:56:12,260
plans to close these de minimis loopholes in

1644
00:56:12,260 --> 00:56:14,740
the months ahead for the entire globe.

1645
00:56:14,900 --> 00:56:17,380
They're phasing this in slowly because it turns

1646
00:56:17,380 --> 00:56:19,100
out it's a big challenge for U.S.

1647
00:56:19,220 --> 00:56:22,400
Customs and Border Protection to process and tax

1648
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,260
all these millions of packages.

1649
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,080
Alright, I'm feeling there was a very long

1650
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:29,260
game being played here.

1651
00:56:29,900 --> 00:56:33,300
And this goes back to the TikTok ban,

1652
00:56:33,780 --> 00:56:35,820
which, by the way, not a lot of

1653
00:56:35,820 --> 00:56:41,040
talk of China stealing our information anymore.

1654
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:42,640
Just don't see that.

1655
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,280
I guess it's not important anymore.

1656
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:45,920
It was the most important thing ever.

1657
00:56:47,300 --> 00:56:49,380
And so I remember that there was a

1658
00:56:49,380 --> 00:56:49,940
carve-out.

1659
00:56:49,980 --> 00:56:52,960
There was a carve-out from shopping sites

1660
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:53,820
like Timu.

1661
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,380
There was a carve-out from review sites.

1662
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,980
This is from what you found very tedious

1663
00:57:02,460 --> 00:57:04,500
Supreme Court decision about TikTok.

1664
00:57:04,860 --> 00:57:06,540
Even if you could get just to the

1665
00:57:06,540 --> 00:57:09,000
data security question, again, you have to ask

1666
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,200
the question, would this law have been passed

1667
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,000
by Congress for data security reasons?

1668
00:57:13,060 --> 00:57:14,880
Because you're being asked to uphold a law

1669
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,560
based on that single governmental interest.

1670
00:57:16,940 --> 00:57:18,400
And when you look through the provisions, like

1671
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,220
the content recommendation algorithm provision, like the covered

1672
00:57:21,220 --> 00:57:22,720
company provisions, the answer's no.

1673
00:57:22,820 --> 00:57:24,280
And if you're still in doubt on that,

1674
00:57:24,580 --> 00:57:26,520
just go back to the under-inclusiveness problem.

1675
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,800
Would a Congress really worried about these very

1676
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,120
dramatic risks leave out an e-commerce site

1677
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,280
like Timu that has 70 million Americans using

1678
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:37,460
it and every bit the connection?

1679
00:57:37,460 --> 00:57:39,360
Does Congress have to go all or nothing

1680
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:39,900
on that?

1681
00:57:40,100 --> 00:57:41,300
I mean- It doesn't have to go

1682
00:57:41,300 --> 00:57:41,620
all or nothing.

1683
00:57:41,620 --> 00:57:45,060
They isolate a particular problem.

1684
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,840
So that was part of the carve-out,

1685
00:57:47,940 --> 00:57:48,460
is Timu.

1686
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,660
And I think now, considering that the number

1687
00:57:51,660 --> 00:57:54,680
one retailer, as we know TikTok is really

1688
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,760
the TikTok shop, is now last-minute bid

1689
00:57:59,260 --> 00:58:03,100
with an extension which will last around May

1690
00:58:03,100 --> 00:58:04,140
or beyond May.

1691
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,800
I'm thinking they totally screwed the Chinese.

1692
00:58:08,340 --> 00:58:09,640
And here's the Amazon bid.

1693
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:37,190
...

1694
00:58:38,060 --> 00:58:39,000
...

1695
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,660
...

1696
00:58:49,660 --> 00:58:50,080
...

1697
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:50,180
...

1698
00:58:50,180 --> 00:58:52,040
...

1699
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,900
...

1700
00:58:54,900 --> 00:58:57,280
...

1701
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:57,820
...

1702
00:58:57,820 --> 00:58:58,200
...

1703
00:58:58,200 --> 00:58:59,000
...

1704
00:58:59,000 --> 00:58:59,260
...

1705
00:58:59,260 --> 00:59:00,140
...

1706
00:59:02,500 --> 00:59:03,420
...

1707
00:59:11,860 --> 00:59:13,700
...

1708
00:59:13,700 --> 00:59:14,460
...

1709
00:59:14,460 --> 00:59:15,380
...

1710
00:59:15,380 --> 00:59:15,480
...

1711
00:59:17,500 --> 00:59:19,340
...

1712
00:59:19,340 --> 00:59:20,900
...

1713
00:59:20,900 --> 00:59:21,680
...

1714
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,020
...

1715
00:59:23,020 --> 00:59:23,120
...

1716
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:24,120
...

1717
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:24,460
...

1718
00:59:29,740 --> 00:59:31,860
...

1719
00:59:31,860 --> 00:59:32,780
...

1720
00:59:32,780 --> 00:59:33,840
...

1721
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:36,480
...

1722
00:59:40,740 --> 00:59:41,800
...

1723
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:42,800
...

1724
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,620
...

1725
00:59:45,620 --> 00:59:46,280
...

1726
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:47,940
...

1727
00:59:55,860 --> 00:59:57,580
...

1728
00:59:57,580 --> 00:59:59,500
...

1729
00:59:59,500 --> 00:59:59,980
...

1730
00:59:59,980 --> 01:00:02,620
...

1731
01:00:02,620 --> 01:00:02,860
...

1732
01:00:07,780 --> 01:00:09,500
...

1733
01:00:09,500 --> 01:00:09,600
...

1734
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:09,700
...

1735
01:00:09,700 --> 01:00:10,400
...

1736
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:11,060
...

1737
01:00:11,060 --> 01:00:14,520
TikTok is not interesting for the social aspect

1738
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,000
other than social shopping.

1739
01:00:16,180 --> 01:00:17,240
That's what they do.

1740
01:00:17,780 --> 01:00:18,060
Okay.

1741
01:00:18,300 --> 01:00:19,600
It's great for the show.

1742
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,260
Oh, I can't believe I said that.

1743
01:00:21,260 --> 01:00:21,780
Great for the show.

1744
01:00:21,860 --> 01:00:23,320
It's great for the show because it makes

1745
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:23,820
you happy.

1746
01:00:23,820 --> 01:00:24,280
Come on.

1747
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:25,240
It makes you happy.

1748
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:26,940
That's because it makes you happy.

1749
01:00:27,020 --> 01:00:28,180
So it's great for the show.

1750
01:00:28,580 --> 01:00:28,980
Uh-huh.

1751
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:29,520
Uh-huh.

1752
01:00:30,020 --> 01:00:33,340
Um, but, uh, think about the, it's like

1753
01:00:33,340 --> 01:00:33,720
China.

1754
01:00:33,820 --> 01:00:34,180
Okay.

1755
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,800
Listen, either you sell it to Amazon and

1756
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,080
the president has said, and we're going to

1757
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:41,240
be part owner of it.

1758
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,080
That's what he kept saying.

1759
01:00:43,260 --> 01:00:44,780
Oh, $500 billion.

1760
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,460
Like, I don't know about that, but, um,

1761
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,020
we're, we're going to be part owner.

1762
01:00:49,300 --> 01:00:51,320
If not, oh, screw you then.

1763
01:00:51,500 --> 01:00:51,820
Goodbye.

1764
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:53,420
There goes, there goes that.

1765
01:00:54,700 --> 01:00:56,820
So Amazon seems to be the one.

1766
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:57,660
I don't see.

1767
01:00:57,660 --> 01:00:59,640
Amazon may be part of this whole scheme

1768
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,580
because Amazon is the one that's hurt the

1769
01:01:01,580 --> 01:01:03,180
most by Timu and Xian.

1770
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:03,700
Yeah.

1771
01:01:03,700 --> 01:01:07,360
At least with other people are hurt by

1772
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:07,880
him too.

1773
01:01:09,580 --> 01:01:12,280
Uh, but Amazon I think is hit hard

1774
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,640
because of all the junk besides the clothing,

1775
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,520
the junk tools and the junk, this and

1776
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,740
John, I mean, it's just junk where Amazon

1777
01:01:21,740 --> 01:01:23,960
normally would be the one selling the same

1778
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:24,700
junk.

1779
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,620
And I've pointed this out with a, with

1780
01:01:26,620 --> 01:01:28,720
a mouse that I bought from one of

1781
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:29,280
these operators.

1782
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,860
I think about it from Aliexpress, a little

1783
01:01:31,860 --> 01:01:34,340
gorgeous, fabulous mouse.

1784
01:01:34,500 --> 01:01:38,520
It was five bucks F direct from China.

1785
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:39,440
I got a copy.

1786
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:40,040
There it is.

1787
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:40,780
I have it here.

1788
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,840
And the, and this is the same mouse

1789
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,740
I bought a year earlier from Amazon for

1790
01:01:45,740 --> 01:01:46,260
$11.

1791
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,940
And the difference is $5 and $11 for

1792
01:01:49,940 --> 01:01:54,000
the exact same product is pretty substantial.

1793
01:01:57,970 --> 01:02:00,630
Um, technology companies in general is going to

1794
01:02:00,630 --> 01:02:01,470
be very interesting.

1795
01:02:01,590 --> 01:02:03,470
What's happening and where I kind of made

1796
01:02:03,470 --> 01:02:08,850
a flippant remark about turning off our social

1797
01:02:08,850 --> 01:02:10,210
networks to Europe.

1798
01:02:11,550 --> 01:02:13,870
I think, uh, I think there's, there's something

1799
01:02:13,870 --> 01:02:14,570
going on.

1800
01:02:14,630 --> 01:02:16,530
Uh, this is, uh, you know, France and

1801
01:02:16,530 --> 01:02:18,930
the UK are now teaming up, teaming up

1802
01:02:18,930 --> 01:02:21,130
because we've got a combat, we're stopped buying

1803
01:02:21,130 --> 01:02:21,950
American products.

1804
01:02:22,010 --> 01:02:22,790
Oh, wait a minute.

1805
01:02:22,790 --> 01:02:24,390
They're not actually made in America.

1806
01:02:24,970 --> 01:02:27,550
Under their star spangled banner, the United States

1807
01:02:27,550 --> 01:02:30,230
is home to a constellation of brands, many

1808
01:02:30,230 --> 01:02:33,090
of which can be found in France, mobile

1809
01:02:33,090 --> 01:02:35,290
phones, groceries, and everyday goods.

1810
01:02:35,610 --> 01:02:37,890
Could these items soon be taxed by the

1811
01:02:37,890 --> 01:02:41,270
European Union in retaliation to president Donald Trump's

1812
01:02:41,270 --> 01:02:42,630
sweeping new trade policies?

1813
01:02:43,150 --> 01:02:45,630
Many American products are part of daily lives

1814
01:02:45,630 --> 01:02:48,950
in France, including almonds of which California is

1815
01:02:48,950 --> 01:02:50,090
the largest producer.

1816
01:02:50,090 --> 01:02:52,490
Now, president Trump has slapped a 10%

1817
01:02:52,490 --> 01:02:54,910
tariff on most imports and raise the EU

1818
01:02:54,910 --> 01:02:56,490
levy rate to 20%.

1819
01:02:56,490 --> 01:02:58,410
These are products that I consume on a

1820
01:02:58,410 --> 01:02:59,490
regular or daily basis.

1821
01:02:59,630 --> 01:03:01,330
We'll probably have to rethink the way we

1822
01:03:01,330 --> 01:03:01,610
shop.

1823
01:03:01,870 --> 01:03:05,550
Honestly, if it becomes too expensive, I won't

1824
01:03:05,550 --> 01:03:06,910
buy these products anymore.

1825
01:03:07,210 --> 01:03:09,430
That's the product the French people most are

1826
01:03:09,430 --> 01:03:09,850
made in America.

1827
01:03:10,710 --> 01:03:12,490
That key, of course, I won't buy, which

1828
01:03:12,490 --> 01:03:13,990
is what people keep overlooking.

1829
01:03:14,150 --> 01:03:15,590
If it's too expensive, I won't buy it.

1830
01:03:15,790 --> 01:03:18,370
And by the way, who eats almonds every

1831
01:03:18,370 --> 01:03:18,970
day?

1832
01:03:20,030 --> 01:03:22,630
But wait, what products are they not going

1833
01:03:22,630 --> 01:03:23,010
to buy?

1834
01:03:23,170 --> 01:03:23,830
Where are they made?

1835
01:03:24,030 --> 01:03:24,650
Where we shop.

1836
01:03:25,790 --> 01:03:28,590
Honestly, if it becomes too expensive, I won't

1837
01:03:28,590 --> 01:03:29,890
buy these products anymore.

1838
01:03:30,170 --> 01:03:32,490
That's the products the French consume most are

1839
01:03:32,490 --> 01:03:33,570
made in other countries.

1840
01:03:33,770 --> 01:03:36,230
For example, iPhones are made in China and

1841
01:03:36,230 --> 01:03:39,290
American athletic brand Nike has factories across Southeast

1842
01:03:39,290 --> 01:03:41,790
Asia for certain fast food chains or sweet

1843
01:03:41,790 --> 01:03:42,130
drinks.

1844
01:03:42,190 --> 01:03:44,390
Production is even located in France.

1845
01:03:44,390 --> 01:03:47,390
Pepsi, M&M, Ariel and Coca-Cola are

1846
01:03:47,390 --> 01:03:49,390
all made in the country, so their costs

1847
01:03:49,390 --> 01:03:50,410
shouldn't be affected.

1848
01:03:50,730 --> 01:03:53,250
Bank of America analysts say among the global

1849
01:03:53,250 --> 01:03:55,210
panic, there is some good news.

1850
01:03:55,470 --> 01:03:57,670
Commodity prices are falling for the first time

1851
01:03:57,670 --> 01:03:58,510
in four years.

1852
01:03:58,730 --> 01:04:00,730
Oil prices have fallen to an average of

1853
01:04:00,730 --> 01:04:03,570
65 US dollars per barrel, the same for

1854
01:04:03,570 --> 01:04:04,430
wheat and cotton.

1855
01:04:04,610 --> 01:04:06,950
The EU's answer to President Trump could be

1856
01:04:06,950 --> 01:04:08,110
American big tech.

1857
01:04:08,290 --> 01:04:10,630
One option is to target social media platforms

1858
01:04:10,630 --> 01:04:13,570
and streaming services with regulations and other restrictions.

1859
01:04:13,570 --> 01:04:15,810
I say cut them off.

1860
01:04:16,450 --> 01:04:18,230
That would be so funny.

1861
01:04:19,650 --> 01:04:20,550
Cut them off.

1862
01:04:20,730 --> 01:04:21,470
Just sorry.

1863
01:04:22,590 --> 01:04:24,530
Then you remember when these when these things

1864
01:04:24,530 --> 01:04:27,530
first came into play maybe about 10 years

1865
01:04:27,530 --> 01:04:31,790
ago with the digital digital regulations that when

1866
01:04:31,790 --> 01:04:33,390
I was in Europe, you go to a

1867
01:04:33,390 --> 01:04:37,190
website and it would say, sorry, the the

1868
01:04:37,190 --> 01:04:43,710
the what is the GPR, GDRP, you know,

1869
01:04:43,830 --> 01:04:47,030
the yeah, yeah, some regulation.

1870
01:04:47,650 --> 01:04:48,090
Yeah.

1871
01:04:48,390 --> 01:04:48,870
GDRP.

1872
01:04:48,970 --> 01:04:52,130
That's what it is, you know, about information

1873
01:04:52,130 --> 01:04:53,770
that you have on people and you have

1874
01:04:53,770 --> 01:04:58,870
to adhere to certain certain guidelines or rules,

1875
01:04:58,930 --> 01:04:59,190
really.

1876
01:04:59,850 --> 01:05:02,010
So now they're going to try because, of

1877
01:05:02,010 --> 01:05:03,890
course, there's a lot of money that comes

1878
01:05:03,890 --> 01:05:07,970
into America from Europe based on, you know,

1879
01:05:08,050 --> 01:05:12,310
from Meta and Google and some from X,

1880
01:05:12,350 --> 01:05:12,830
I'm sure.

1881
01:05:13,370 --> 01:05:16,450
And Microsoft and Microsoft operating system still.

1882
01:05:16,550 --> 01:05:18,870
You think somebody I mentioned this to Mimi

1883
01:05:18,870 --> 01:05:20,730
the other day, I said, you know, so

1884
01:05:20,730 --> 01:05:25,510
during the rescue of the astronauts that Elon

1885
01:05:25,510 --> 01:05:29,010
Musk had started SpaceX from scratch, basically by

1886
01:05:29,010 --> 01:05:31,430
taking a bunch of NASA people and putting

1887
01:05:31,430 --> 01:05:32,650
them together and all of a sudden they

1888
01:05:32,650 --> 01:05:35,510
have the best rocket you can buy pretty

1889
01:05:35,510 --> 01:05:37,810
much because we were buying our rocket engines

1890
01:05:37,810 --> 01:05:39,170
from Russia for years.

1891
01:05:40,010 --> 01:05:41,390
And so now we make our own is

1892
01:05:41,390 --> 01:05:42,550
better than anybody else's.

1893
01:05:42,690 --> 01:05:44,090
I'm thinking, is this going on?

1894
01:05:44,150 --> 01:05:46,750
And they got the capsules, all this stuff.

1895
01:05:47,050 --> 01:05:48,750
And we can't find somebody to make a

1896
01:05:48,750 --> 01:05:49,850
new operating system.

1897
01:05:51,270 --> 01:05:52,670
Well, we had me, it seems to me,

1898
01:05:52,730 --> 01:05:55,850
we got the ability to build a space

1899
01:05:55,850 --> 01:05:58,290
program from scratch and somebody can't come along

1900
01:05:58,290 --> 01:05:59,270
and beat Windows.

1901
01:05:59,510 --> 01:06:03,390
We have Linux besides Linux, which stinks.

1902
01:06:03,550 --> 01:06:04,070
No, it does.

1903
01:06:04,150 --> 01:06:05,130
It doesn't stink.

1904
01:06:05,510 --> 01:06:06,730
Oh, then why aren't you using it?

1905
01:06:07,130 --> 01:06:08,430
I do use Linux.

1906
01:06:08,510 --> 01:06:10,530
I can't use it in the studio because

1907
01:06:10,530 --> 01:06:14,250
because the the the stupid Australians won't give

1908
01:06:14,250 --> 01:06:15,930
us drivers that work with Linux.

1909
01:06:15,930 --> 01:06:18,350
But otherwise, yeah, I do use Linux all

1910
01:06:18,350 --> 01:06:18,710
the time.

1911
01:06:18,810 --> 01:06:20,090
I'm just saying is an example.

1912
01:06:20,190 --> 01:06:21,830
You can't use it for the production of

1913
01:06:21,830 --> 01:06:22,370
the show.

1914
01:06:22,430 --> 01:06:24,150
You are using Libra office.

1915
01:06:25,550 --> 01:06:27,130
I use a lot of public.

1916
01:06:27,310 --> 01:06:28,690
I use a lot of these things, but

1917
01:06:28,690 --> 01:06:30,350
it's beside the point, why don't we just

1918
01:06:30,350 --> 01:06:30,730
get rid?

1919
01:06:31,150 --> 01:06:33,090
Windows is still dominates.

1920
01:06:33,630 --> 01:06:35,230
Can't we get rid of Windows?

1921
01:06:36,050 --> 01:06:37,570
It's gone bad.

1922
01:06:37,670 --> 01:06:38,590
It's no good.

1923
01:06:38,890 --> 01:06:40,850
In fact, what's the deal with all Windows

1924
01:06:40,850 --> 01:06:42,190
10 is going to be the last Windows

1925
01:06:42,190 --> 01:06:42,890
you ever need.

1926
01:06:43,010 --> 01:06:44,730
And now I keep getting these whole screen

1927
01:06:44,730 --> 01:06:45,310
messages.

1928
01:06:45,490 --> 01:06:47,450
Oh, you got to move to Windows 11.

1929
01:06:47,550 --> 01:06:48,030
It won't work.

1930
01:06:48,170 --> 01:06:49,190
I just promise.

1931
01:06:49,310 --> 01:06:50,630
Where's the lawsuit on this?

1932
01:06:50,630 --> 01:06:53,130
Where's somebody coming out with a lawsuit because

1933
01:06:53,130 --> 01:06:55,470
they promised that Windows 10 was it?

1934
01:06:55,690 --> 01:06:56,090
That's right.

1935
01:06:56,370 --> 01:06:57,110
Windows 10.

1936
01:06:57,250 --> 01:06:59,050
I'm not I have not upgraded, even though

1937
01:06:59,050 --> 01:07:01,030
they keep telling me I should, because it's

1938
01:07:01,030 --> 01:07:01,570
going to end.

1939
01:07:01,830 --> 01:07:02,670
It won't work anymore.

1940
01:07:02,770 --> 01:07:03,790
I'm going to wake up one day, do

1941
01:07:03,790 --> 01:07:05,410
the show and the show won't be there.

1942
01:07:06,030 --> 01:07:07,690
This is this is illegal.

1943
01:07:08,030 --> 01:07:09,810
Where's the FTC when it comes to this?

1944
01:07:09,830 --> 01:07:11,450
They made a verbal.

1945
01:07:11,610 --> 01:07:14,270
They said it in public that Windows 10

1946
01:07:14,270 --> 01:07:15,530
is the last Windows.

1947
01:07:15,890 --> 01:07:16,170
Really?

1948
01:07:17,270 --> 01:07:18,450
You don't remember this?

1949
01:07:18,450 --> 01:07:20,570
I don't think about five years ago when

1950
01:07:20,570 --> 01:07:22,430
I first brought out Windows 10, they said,

1951
01:07:22,690 --> 01:07:24,030
oh, Windows 10 is it.

1952
01:07:24,170 --> 01:07:24,770
This is the end.

1953
01:07:24,870 --> 01:07:25,970
Now it's just going to be upgrades to

1954
01:07:25,970 --> 01:07:26,550
Windows 10.

1955
01:07:26,630 --> 01:07:29,030
You're going to live a fabulous life.

1956
01:07:31,610 --> 01:07:35,010
The term Windows and fabulous life just not

1957
01:07:35,010 --> 01:07:36,810
does not go together no matter what.

1958
01:07:37,730 --> 01:07:38,110
Interesting.

1959
01:07:38,290 --> 01:07:39,650
Well, I'd like to I'd like to have

1960
01:07:39,650 --> 01:07:41,230
some some clip of that.

1961
01:07:41,330 --> 01:07:43,350
I believe you without a doubt.

1962
01:07:43,610 --> 01:07:45,470
But of course, the same was said for

1963
01:07:45,470 --> 01:07:45,910
Vista.

1964
01:07:48,650 --> 01:07:50,950
This Vista, which turned out to be pretty

1965
01:07:50,950 --> 01:07:52,170
good in hindsight.

1966
01:07:52,570 --> 01:07:52,670
Yeah.

1967
01:07:52,690 --> 01:07:55,390
But that only lasted like three years or

1968
01:07:55,390 --> 01:07:57,870
two years and got bad PR at the

1969
01:07:57,870 --> 01:07:58,190
beginning.

1970
01:07:58,250 --> 01:07:59,230
It was poorly done.

1971
01:07:59,270 --> 01:07:59,730
It was a crap.

1972
01:08:00,090 --> 01:08:01,490
It was a crap name.

1973
01:08:01,730 --> 01:08:02,550
And Vista.

1974
01:08:02,710 --> 01:08:02,870
Yeah.

1975
01:08:02,950 --> 01:08:03,290
Vista.

1976
01:08:03,470 --> 01:08:03,850
Vista.

1977
01:08:04,770 --> 01:08:05,110
Vista.

1978
01:08:05,390 --> 01:08:05,570
Vista.

1979
01:08:06,330 --> 01:08:06,770
OK.

1980
01:08:08,270 --> 01:08:11,650
Since they were talking about consumers, consumers saying,

1981
01:08:11,770 --> 01:08:13,870
no, no, I just won't buy these products,

1982
01:08:13,870 --> 01:08:16,689
which is exactly what will happen over in

1983
01:08:16,689 --> 01:08:17,950
Washington State.

1984
01:08:18,130 --> 01:08:19,529
Como, Como, the big Como.

1985
01:08:20,270 --> 01:08:22,370
They seem like they were just home of

1986
01:08:22,370 --> 01:08:22,689
Costco.

1987
01:08:23,729 --> 01:08:27,350
They were really trying to spark some kind

1988
01:08:27,350 --> 01:08:29,510
of hype, panic, panic buying.

1989
01:08:29,830 --> 01:08:32,090
And and the people in Washington went, no,

1990
01:08:32,350 --> 01:08:34,670
not really courting away like normal.

1991
01:08:34,750 --> 01:08:36,350
But for how long?

1992
01:08:36,850 --> 01:08:37,590
For how long?

1993
01:08:37,750 --> 01:08:40,569
At Costco and Shoreline, many shoppers told Como

1994
01:08:40,569 --> 01:08:42,649
they worried more about the result of panic

1995
01:08:42,649 --> 01:08:45,850
buying than the pumped up prices or just

1996
01:08:45,850 --> 01:08:47,350
like an extra luxury item.

1997
01:08:47,670 --> 01:08:50,090
It's not really necessary if you were smart

1998
01:08:50,090 --> 01:08:52,189
enough, you would already been prepared and have

1999
01:08:52,189 --> 01:08:55,950
non perishable foods anyway, according to the manager

2000
01:08:55,950 --> 01:08:56,830
of this store.

2001
01:08:56,910 --> 01:08:59,229
Everything has been normal so far.

2002
01:08:59,290 --> 01:09:01,529
In fact, he told us the overall Costco

2003
01:09:01,529 --> 01:09:04,450
company, of course, based in Issaquah, doesn't expect

2004
01:09:04,450 --> 01:09:06,130
a major impact from tariffs.

2005
01:09:06,510 --> 01:09:08,290
And customers agree.

2006
01:09:08,430 --> 01:09:09,870
It's always been busy.

2007
01:09:09,870 --> 01:09:12,029
I don't know a day that's not busy

2008
01:09:12,029 --> 01:09:12,710
at Costco.

2009
01:09:12,930 --> 01:09:15,450
While everything is normal at this store, economists

2010
01:09:15,450 --> 01:09:18,490
tell Como overall panic buying is still a

2011
01:09:18,490 --> 01:09:21,850
possibility, especially as costs go up for pretty

2012
01:09:21,850 --> 01:09:22,950
much anything.

2013
01:09:23,130 --> 01:09:26,250
These tariffs started off very targeted, but they've

2014
01:09:26,250 --> 01:09:27,569
become quite broad.

2015
01:09:27,790 --> 01:09:30,490
Yet in Shoreline, customers told us it's not

2016
01:09:30,490 --> 01:09:33,630
time to panic buy, and it never is.

2017
01:09:33,830 --> 01:09:35,050
I don't think anyone needs to like go

2018
01:09:35,050 --> 01:09:36,750
and run and clear out the Costco.

2019
01:09:37,229 --> 01:09:38,850
That's probably not healthy for our community.

2020
01:09:39,250 --> 01:09:40,970
This is the actual problem.

2021
01:09:41,090 --> 01:09:42,890
This is what freaks the rest of the

2022
01:09:42,890 --> 01:09:46,310
world out, is that the American public may

2023
01:09:46,310 --> 01:09:47,950
just become a little more frugal.

2024
01:09:48,290 --> 01:09:50,529
We may just wake up one day and

2025
01:09:50,529 --> 01:09:52,970
go, you know, this kind of junk.

2026
01:09:53,050 --> 01:09:54,310
My house is filled with junk.

2027
01:09:54,570 --> 01:09:56,810
My kids got junk plastic toys.

2028
01:09:57,090 --> 01:09:58,550
I got junk everywhere.

2029
01:09:59,030 --> 01:10:00,710
It's just I got junk.

2030
01:10:01,290 --> 01:10:03,870
The internet of things everywhere.

2031
01:10:04,250 --> 01:10:05,910
It's just junk is junk.

2032
01:10:05,930 --> 01:10:07,150
And I'm sick of the junk.

2033
01:10:07,690 --> 01:10:10,590
And if that really happens, whoa, baby.

2034
01:10:11,670 --> 01:10:15,470
Because we are the consumer of the world.

2035
01:10:15,890 --> 01:10:17,910
We buy everyone's junk.

2036
01:10:19,610 --> 01:10:21,130
And that's just- Yeah, we can stop.

2037
01:10:21,530 --> 01:10:22,530
I think we might.

2038
01:10:22,690 --> 01:10:24,590
I think that's what everybody is worried about.

2039
01:10:24,590 --> 01:10:25,110
Well, it's going up in price.

2040
01:10:25,270 --> 01:10:28,550
You know, junk has to be cheap.

2041
01:10:29,230 --> 01:10:29,610
Yes.

2042
01:10:31,810 --> 01:10:33,050
I want to play this- And that's

2043
01:10:33,050 --> 01:10:34,970
why I think that, you know, Timu and

2044
01:10:34,970 --> 01:10:37,910
Xi and those guys are big enough that

2045
01:10:37,910 --> 01:10:40,330
they should be able to relocate to Vietnam

2046
01:10:40,330 --> 01:10:42,730
or do something else and still stay in

2047
01:10:42,730 --> 01:10:43,090
business.

2048
01:10:43,230 --> 01:10:45,970
It's going to be a moment where they

2049
01:10:45,970 --> 01:10:46,490
can't.

2050
01:10:47,250 --> 01:10:48,490
But I mean, you just can't do that

2051
01:10:48,490 --> 01:10:49,110
instantly.

2052
01:10:49,570 --> 01:10:51,010
Well, Vietnam- The Chinese are fast at

2053
01:10:51,010 --> 01:10:52,330
putting buildings up.

2054
01:10:52,410 --> 01:10:54,110
They're faster than we are by a lot.

2055
01:10:54,210 --> 01:10:56,450
Vietnam is talking about zero tariffs.

2056
01:10:56,610 --> 01:10:57,950
They're already like, oh, we'll go- Vietnam

2057
01:10:57,950 --> 01:10:58,610
is caved.

2058
01:10:59,430 --> 01:11:00,690
The smart money.

2059
01:11:01,130 --> 01:11:03,010
Vietnam is one of the smartest countries in

2060
01:11:03,010 --> 01:11:03,290
the world.

2061
01:11:03,290 --> 01:11:05,570
They have one of the highest literacy rates

2062
01:11:05,570 --> 01:11:07,970
of all civilized nations.

2063
01:11:08,250 --> 01:11:09,210
It's something like 97%.

2064
01:11:09,830 --> 01:11:10,090
Really?

2065
01:11:10,090 --> 01:11:10,910
It's very high.

2066
01:11:11,010 --> 01:11:11,310
Wow.

2067
01:11:11,910 --> 01:11:12,810
That's more than us.

2068
01:11:13,390 --> 01:11:14,130
That's a lot more than us.

2069
01:11:14,130 --> 01:11:14,710
It's way more than us.

2070
01:11:14,930 --> 01:11:15,110
Yeah.

2071
01:11:15,390 --> 01:11:15,810
It's sad.

2072
01:11:15,810 --> 01:11:17,370
And not only that, but many are bilingual.

2073
01:11:17,810 --> 01:11:19,030
They speak English.

2074
01:11:19,130 --> 01:11:19,930
They speak Vietnamese.

2075
01:11:20,730 --> 01:11:23,130
And it's a very smart country with a

2076
01:11:23,130 --> 01:11:24,190
lot of craftsmen.

2077
01:11:24,730 --> 01:11:27,470
And it's kind of always underrated because of

2078
01:11:27,470 --> 01:11:28,430
the government itself.

2079
01:11:28,430 --> 01:11:30,710
The government is communist.

2080
01:11:30,710 --> 01:11:34,730
And so it doesn't quite get it.

2081
01:11:34,910 --> 01:11:37,990
I want to play these Bloomberg clips about

2082
01:11:37,990 --> 01:11:39,770
OPEC because I have some questions for you.

2083
01:11:40,110 --> 01:11:41,850
OPEC decision was really kind of the second

2084
01:11:41,850 --> 01:11:43,430
blow to oil prices yesterday.

2085
01:11:43,430 --> 01:11:46,510
We were already trading a bit lower.

2086
01:11:47,010 --> 01:11:48,490
And the way it worked out during the

2087
01:11:48,490 --> 01:11:50,810
trading day here in the Middle East, the

2088
01:11:50,810 --> 01:11:53,510
OPEC announcement came hours after people were already

2089
01:11:53,510 --> 01:11:57,130
digesting the tariff decision, which had happened Wednesday

2090
01:11:57,130 --> 01:11:57,650
in the US.

2091
01:11:57,650 --> 01:11:59,810
But people woke up to it on Thursday

2092
01:11:59,810 --> 01:12:01,590
here in the region.

2093
01:12:02,110 --> 01:12:04,410
So we were already trading lower because of

2094
01:12:04,410 --> 01:12:09,670
concerns about those tariffs, increasing inflation, hurting economic

2095
01:12:09,670 --> 01:12:11,730
activity, which is something that we've been dealing

2096
01:12:11,730 --> 01:12:14,290
with throughout this year really.

2097
01:12:14,450 --> 01:12:17,230
Oil has been very volatile already, but staying

2098
01:12:17,230 --> 01:12:17,850
in that range.

2099
01:12:17,990 --> 01:12:19,790
And we just kind of went way below

2100
01:12:19,790 --> 01:12:19,990
that.

2101
01:12:20,090 --> 01:12:22,410
We lost about 7%, give or take, yesterday

2102
01:12:22,410 --> 01:12:25,590
because that OPEC increase was much higher than

2103
01:12:25,590 --> 01:12:25,910
expected.

2104
01:12:25,910 --> 01:12:28,150
We expected OPEC to kind of roll over

2105
01:12:28,150 --> 01:12:30,110
the increase that we're seeing here in April.

2106
01:12:30,610 --> 01:12:33,110
OK, now the question is, why did they

2107
01:12:33,110 --> 01:12:33,590
do this?

2108
01:12:33,690 --> 01:12:34,850
And I thought this was interesting.

2109
01:12:35,110 --> 01:12:37,950
Why did OPEC decide to bring forward the

2110
01:12:37,950 --> 01:12:40,730
timing of the extra barrel production to the

2111
01:12:40,730 --> 01:12:40,930
market?

2112
01:12:41,070 --> 01:12:41,890
Why did they do this now?

2113
01:12:42,150 --> 01:12:44,490
Yeah, so it had been a long kind

2114
01:12:44,490 --> 01:12:47,890
of convoluted formula to bring this oil production

2115
01:12:47,890 --> 01:12:48,230
back.

2116
01:12:48,530 --> 01:12:52,630
And really, they're bringing up basically three times

2117
01:12:52,630 --> 01:12:54,670
as much, so three months of increase in

2118
01:12:54,670 --> 01:12:55,210
one basically.

2119
01:12:55,210 --> 01:12:57,110
So as you say, bringing that forward, we're

2120
01:12:57,110 --> 01:12:59,490
still unwinding some of those voluntary cuts that

2121
01:12:59,490 --> 01:13:01,790
some of the OPEC Plus members have made.

2122
01:13:02,390 --> 01:13:04,890
And they're looking at inventories, seeing them not

2123
01:13:04,890 --> 01:13:06,010
as high maybe as they thought.

2124
01:13:06,350 --> 01:13:08,250
Of course, one of the factors that we've

2125
01:13:08,250 --> 01:13:11,010
been looking at all along really since COVID

2126
01:13:11,010 --> 01:13:12,910
has been the recovery of China.

2127
01:13:13,310 --> 01:13:14,990
That demand there is still sluggish, not coming

2128
01:13:14,990 --> 01:13:16,550
back as much as they would have wanted

2129
01:13:16,550 --> 01:13:17,450
to support the market.

2130
01:13:17,630 --> 01:13:18,950
But we're not seeing that build up in

2131
01:13:18,950 --> 01:13:19,390
inventories.

2132
01:13:19,930 --> 01:13:22,830
Perhaps also there's some thinking by OPEC that

2133
01:13:22,830 --> 01:13:24,230
a lot of the members had been cheating

2134
01:13:24,230 --> 01:13:26,050
on their quotas anyway, overproducing anyway.

2135
01:13:26,470 --> 01:13:28,670
So maybe these quotas kind of grow into

2136
01:13:28,670 --> 01:13:31,530
the production as you will for some of

2137
01:13:31,530 --> 01:13:32,450
those producers.

2138
01:13:33,230 --> 01:13:35,170
And then there's the idea that they have

2139
01:13:35,170 --> 01:13:37,910
been losing market share with the Trump administration

2140
01:13:37,910 --> 01:13:39,510
that wants to increase production.

2141
01:13:40,050 --> 01:13:41,590
Now whether that's going to happen or not

2142
01:13:41,590 --> 01:13:43,070
because of the low oil prices, that's another

2143
01:13:43,070 --> 01:13:43,410
question.

2144
01:13:43,670 --> 01:13:45,850
Maybe OPEC trying to forestall some of that

2145
01:13:45,850 --> 01:13:47,670
by bringing down the price a little bit

2146
01:13:47,670 --> 01:13:47,830
here.

2147
01:13:48,670 --> 01:13:50,850
The oil baron keeps saying, no, we're not

2148
01:13:50,850 --> 01:13:51,550
going to drill.

2149
01:13:51,850 --> 01:13:53,470
We're not going to drill, baby, drill.

2150
01:13:53,470 --> 01:13:55,750
And yet, look at what's happening.

2151
01:13:56,690 --> 01:14:01,530
Is this our friends in Saudi Arabia?

2152
01:14:01,890 --> 01:14:03,310
I think it's a combination of things.

2153
01:14:03,430 --> 01:14:05,170
I think one, they're afraid that we are

2154
01:14:05,170 --> 01:14:07,290
going to drill and that's going to force

2155
01:14:07,290 --> 01:14:08,030
prices down.

2156
01:14:08,130 --> 01:14:09,930
So they decided to put the screws to

2157
01:14:09,930 --> 01:14:13,710
us by lowering prices and by increasing the

2158
01:14:13,710 --> 01:14:14,490
output.

2159
01:14:14,890 --> 01:14:16,810
The other possibility is that Trump has actually

2160
01:14:16,810 --> 01:14:18,650
talked to him and said, look, you got

2161
01:14:18,650 --> 01:14:19,430
to get this down.

2162
01:14:19,630 --> 01:14:21,770
Hey, Saudi Arabia, what's that in your mouth?

2163
01:14:22,650 --> 01:14:24,390
It was, you know, and we got it

2164
01:14:24,390 --> 01:14:26,570
also puts a little pressure on Russia because

2165
01:14:26,570 --> 01:14:28,850
they're making all their money on, still making

2166
01:14:28,850 --> 01:14:29,870
a lot of money on petroleum.

2167
01:14:30,230 --> 01:14:33,510
It's just, it's probably a combination of things,

2168
01:14:33,670 --> 01:14:36,570
but definitely coming down, it's going to keep

2169
01:14:36,570 --> 01:14:40,890
gasoline prices lower, lower everything, especially if we

2170
01:14:40,890 --> 01:14:42,650
can get down to below 60.

2171
01:14:42,650 --> 01:14:43,590
That would be great.

2172
01:14:43,790 --> 01:14:45,710
That really hurts American oil, though.

2173
01:14:45,750 --> 01:14:47,830
I've always, I've been told, well, if they're

2174
01:14:47,830 --> 01:14:49,510
not planning on drilling in the first place,

2175
01:14:49,570 --> 01:14:50,590
what difference does it make?

2176
01:14:52,700 --> 01:14:53,120
Yeah.

2177
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:53,980
Yeah.

2178
01:14:54,180 --> 01:14:59,200
But below 65 apparently is hurtful to what

2179
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,000
I've always, oh, the poor babies.

2180
01:15:01,900 --> 01:15:04,800
Hey, the oil, remember the oil barons sold

2181
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:06,440
his ranch for 15 million.

2182
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:06,780
Yeah.

2183
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:08,100
What is he bitching about?

2184
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:09,220
He's not bitching.

2185
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:09,840
He's OK.

2186
01:15:10,540 --> 01:15:11,500
He's OK.

2187
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:12,880
He's not crying.

2188
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,040
He bought a new ranch already.

2189
01:15:15,300 --> 01:15:16,740
I mean, just take a look at Exxon

2190
01:15:16,740 --> 01:15:18,020
Mobil stock.

2191
01:15:18,140 --> 01:15:19,480
It's ridiculously high.

2192
01:15:20,180 --> 01:15:25,720
I will say I had some AI experience,

2193
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:30,200
and I'm going to tell you that I

2194
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:34,160
actually think this, I can't believe I'm going

2195
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,380
to say this, this agent, this agentic AI,

2196
01:15:37,580 --> 01:15:38,740
agentic AI.

2197
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:39,620
Yeah.

2198
01:15:39,740 --> 01:15:40,580
Define that.

2199
01:15:40,580 --> 01:15:48,040
Well, I actually, I got a trial from,

2200
01:15:48,220 --> 01:15:51,020
well, the trial didn't last long, from Manus

2201
01:15:51,020 --> 01:15:54,740
.im, Manus, M-A-N-U-S.im.

2202
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,520
And what agentic AI is, the way I

2203
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,460
see what it's doing, is you say, OK,

2204
01:16:03,620 --> 01:16:07,880
I need something done and it fires up

2205
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:08,640
a computer.

2206
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,140
It even, I mean, I presume it says

2207
01:16:10,140 --> 01:16:11,480
starting the computer.

2208
01:16:11,580 --> 01:16:12,600
So it starts a computer.

2209
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:13,660
It starts a browser.

2210
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:14,440
It's not starting the computer.

2211
01:16:14,440 --> 01:16:14,820
It does.

2212
01:16:15,020 --> 01:16:15,360
It does.

2213
01:16:15,480 --> 01:16:17,860
But it's like pulling a rope and it's

2214
01:16:17,860 --> 01:16:18,500
just cranking.

2215
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:20,400
Yeah.

2216
01:16:20,480 --> 01:16:22,440
Well, that's like, yeah, it's like starting a,

2217
01:16:22,440 --> 01:16:24,200
you know, an AWS.

2218
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:25,900
You start up a little computer.

2219
01:16:26,440 --> 01:16:28,120
It's already running.

2220
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:29,140
But anyway, go on.

2221
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:30,360
I'm sorry.

2222
01:16:30,460 --> 01:16:31,640
I'm into the semantics.

2223
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:33,500
Yeah, you are into the semantics.

2224
01:16:33,500 --> 01:16:35,160
But I'm just telling you what it says.

2225
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:37,280
It says, OK, I'm starting the computer.

2226
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,500
It starts a web browser and it tells

2227
01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:41,040
you what it's doing and you see the

2228
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:42,920
URLs as it's searching for stuff.

2229
01:16:43,100 --> 01:16:45,440
And then, you know, what AI does quite

2230
01:16:45,440 --> 01:16:48,140
well is creating summaries and stuff like that.

2231
01:16:48,660 --> 01:16:49,400
But you can.

2232
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:50,800
But here's where I think it's good.

2233
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:52,700
So it's basically an agent.

2234
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,240
You tell this agent, go and do something,

2235
01:16:55,700 --> 01:16:56,880
something I could do.

2236
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:58,840
You know, I could do it myself and

2237
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:00,380
I can find all these things and I

2238
01:17:00,380 --> 01:17:01,320
can search for it.

2239
01:17:01,540 --> 01:17:03,140
But, you know, why don't I pay three

2240
01:17:03,140 --> 01:17:03,800
bucks for it?

2241
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:06,480
And the problem, of course, is, is that

2242
01:17:06,480 --> 01:17:08,680
there's three bucks every single time you ask

2243
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:09,160
for something.

2244
01:17:09,260 --> 01:17:11,980
This is very expensive, this, this agentic AI.

2245
01:17:12,300 --> 01:17:14,560
But you can even say, hey, I have

2246
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:15,740
a repetitive task.

2247
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,060
I have to go to this Web site,

2248
01:17:18,140 --> 01:17:19,920
I have to click all these different buttons.

2249
01:17:20,300 --> 01:17:21,360
Can you do it for me?

2250
01:17:21,700 --> 01:17:22,040
Yes.

2251
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:25,500
And then it opens up the browser, the

2252
01:17:25,500 --> 01:17:28,520
computer's browser for you and you can do

2253
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:29,580
click, click, click, click.

2254
01:17:29,660 --> 01:17:31,220
It's basically like creating a macro.

2255
01:17:31,220 --> 01:17:34,180
And I think if you, if there's anything

2256
01:17:34,180 --> 01:17:37,740
AI will do besides the just most wonderful

2257
01:17:37,740 --> 01:17:41,820
fake videos and, and pictures and whatever, which

2258
01:17:41,820 --> 01:17:44,200
is what you'd expect from something that's basically

2259
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,400
built on, on GPUs.

2260
01:17:46,480 --> 01:17:47,720
We know it's good at that.

2261
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,280
It's kind of a scripting macro tool.

2262
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,940
The question is, how much will it really

2263
01:17:54,940 --> 01:17:55,520
cost?

2264
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:59,080
You know, at a certain point, if, if

2265
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:02,040
you're going to use this, would you wind

2266
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:04,220
up paying $20,000 a year and that

2267
01:18:04,220 --> 01:18:07,900
is thus cheaper than a $45,000 a

2268
01:18:07,900 --> 01:18:08,440
year person.

2269
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:10,400
But I don't see it going much further

2270
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:11,040
than this.

2271
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:13,780
But that, that part I have to say

2272
01:18:13,780 --> 01:18:16,800
is cool because you can just, it can

2273
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,820
do stuff that you want it to replicate.

2274
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:20,820
And so in that case, it's an agent.

2275
01:18:20,860 --> 01:18:21,500
I'm going to stop you.

2276
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:24,100
What is it you had to do that

2277
01:18:24,100 --> 01:18:25,720
it was so important that you were so

2278
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,200
impressed?

2279
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:33,340
Spinning up a, a web, a streaming radio

2280
01:18:33,340 --> 01:18:35,880
station, and I want to replicate it.

2281
01:18:36,020 --> 01:18:38,900
So I want it to start up the

2282
01:18:38,900 --> 01:18:42,520
same one, different instances, and there's no way

2283
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:44,620
to do it with the streaming radio station.

2284
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,040
And so you have to do a whole

2285
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:53,460
bunch of things with custom crossfades, custom, custom

2286
01:18:53,460 --> 01:18:56,020
processing, custom playlists.

2287
01:18:56,260 --> 01:18:58,820
And it would take me about an hour,

2288
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:00,420
an hour and a half to do that

2289
01:19:00,420 --> 01:19:02,020
if I wanted to replicate that.

2290
01:19:02,940 --> 01:19:04,480
And so now I just tell the thing

2291
01:19:04,480 --> 01:19:05,780
to do it and it costs me about

2292
01:19:05,780 --> 01:19:08,000
$2.50 if that's the real price.

2293
01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:09,880
I mean, that, that's what they're charging now.

2294
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:11,780
I mean, once it really comes down to,

2295
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:13,760
we got to make money, it may cost

2296
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:14,340
too much.

2297
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:17,740
And that, and that, I was impressed with

2298
01:19:17,740 --> 01:19:18,080
that.

2299
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:20,400
But it's not.

2300
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,680
Can you have the same agent do your

2301
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:23,700
RSS feeds?

2302
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,160
Well, now that's a good question.

2303
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,380
Yeah, I wouldn't see why not.

2304
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:35,920
You mean so I know you have a

2305
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:37,180
low of sub product there.

2306
01:19:37,780 --> 01:19:38,060
Oh no.

2307
01:19:38,060 --> 01:19:39,860
There's, that's what I'm saying.

2308
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:41,680
But how much will it cost?

2309
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:46,240
I don't believe that they're really charging, you

2310
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:47,980
know, I think they're going for market share

2311
01:19:47,980 --> 01:19:48,300
here.

2312
01:19:48,660 --> 01:19:49,040
Yeah.

2313
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:50,960
So you think that they're under, that you're,

2314
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,060
that they're shipping money with every time you

2315
01:19:53,060 --> 01:19:54,840
give them three bucks, they're actually giving you

2316
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:56,060
a hundred dollars worth of product.

2317
01:19:56,180 --> 01:19:57,640
So you get the free trial, it's a

2318
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:58,440
thousand credits.

2319
01:19:58,520 --> 01:19:59,740
Give me a thousand credits.

2320
01:19:59,820 --> 01:20:01,640
Well, that, that blew off in like three,

2321
01:20:01,820 --> 01:20:04,020
three minutes and like, okay, but I really

2322
01:20:04,020 --> 01:20:04,880
want to try this.

2323
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:07,700
I said, well, let me buy some credits.

2324
01:20:08,220 --> 01:20:11,180
So you go three, $39 a month, I

2325
01:20:11,180 --> 01:20:16,240
fully expected to, um, cancel $39 is more

2326
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:17,260
than chat GPT.

2327
01:20:17,300 --> 01:20:19,540
And that's, that's almost double chat GPT.

2328
01:20:20,820 --> 01:20:23,160
And really, if I needed to do this

2329
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:24,840
on a regular basis, you have to go

2330
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,320
to the $290 a month.

2331
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,220
At that point, it's like, I'll do it

2332
01:20:29,220 --> 01:20:29,540
myself.

2333
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:32,160
And I think that they're still shipping off

2334
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:33,820
money to me while doing that.

2335
01:20:33,820 --> 01:20:38,420
I just can't believe that that's profitable, but

2336
01:20:38,420 --> 01:20:39,380
you don't know for sure.

2337
01:20:39,500 --> 01:20:40,360
Don't know for sure.

2338
01:20:40,740 --> 01:20:42,900
Uh, but they, they've got a lot of

2339
01:20:42,900 --> 01:20:43,740
VC investment.

2340
01:20:43,740 --> 01:20:45,380
So we, we know that we know the

2341
01:20:45,380 --> 01:20:46,360
Silicon Valley strategy.

2342
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:48,980
So it's really not, we know that the

2343
01:20:48,980 --> 01:20:51,100
deep seek model or however they're doing it,

2344
01:20:51,100 --> 01:20:53,520
the training doesn't seem to be so expensive,

2345
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:56,940
supposedly we'll see, you know, the mag seven

2346
01:20:56,940 --> 01:21:01,000
problem as a, as a Besson said versus

2347
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,120
the, uh, MAGA problem.

2348
01:21:03,860 --> 01:21:06,260
But all these data centers where they're in

2349
01:21:06,260 --> 01:21:08,020
the wrong place, they need to be closer.

2350
01:21:08,220 --> 01:21:09,700
They, you know, they need to be cheaper.

2351
01:21:09,900 --> 01:21:13,120
It's really going to be, I mean, hundreds

2352
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,560
and hundreds of billions of dollars just to

2353
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:17,100
fire up expensive computers.

2354
01:21:17,480 --> 01:21:19,160
I don't know if that model will work.

2355
01:21:19,580 --> 01:21:21,320
Maybe it'd be better if I bought the

2356
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:23,020
model and use it in my own home.

2357
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:23,580
I don't know.

2358
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:27,980
But that thing that's interesting that does work.

2359
01:21:27,980 --> 01:21:32,460
And I can see where repetitive tasks that

2360
01:21:32,460 --> 01:21:35,660
no one ever, uh, built to fix the

2361
01:21:35,660 --> 01:21:37,760
stupidity, this is a shortcut.

2362
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,280
Um, that seems like, it seems like it

2363
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:40,520
works.

2364
01:21:40,580 --> 01:21:41,680
I was surprised by that.

2365
01:21:41,780 --> 01:21:44,260
So I will relent a little bit, but

2366
01:21:44,260 --> 01:21:45,760
AI is not going to take over the

2367
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:47,140
world and eat the universe.

2368
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:52,120
Yeah.

2369
01:21:54,100 --> 01:21:54,920
Oh, yes.

2370
01:21:54,980 --> 01:21:56,020
Well, I'm glad you're happy.

2371
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:58,760
Um, well, I'm, I'm marginally happy.

2372
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:02,240
I thought the price was, uh, was steep.

2373
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:03,600
Yeah.

2374
01:22:03,900 --> 01:22:04,800
Price was steep.

2375
01:22:05,020 --> 01:22:06,080
I was like, what's your time worth?

2376
01:22:07,820 --> 01:22:10,660
I got nothing but time, man.

2377
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:11,480
What are you talking about?

2378
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:12,560
I got nothing but time.

2379
01:22:12,660 --> 01:22:14,040
But then you don't need to buy anything.

2380
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:17,720
So, uh, let's talk about the dead bees.

2381
01:22:17,780 --> 01:22:18,560
We were going to do that in the

2382
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:18,920
last show.

2383
01:22:19,020 --> 01:22:19,380
Yes.

2384
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:23,120
Finally, finally, before, before we all die, let's

2385
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:24,080
talk about the bees.

2386
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:25,800
You have a, where is it here?

2387
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:26,460
Yeah.

2388
01:22:26,500 --> 01:22:27,520
Two dead bee clips.

2389
01:22:27,660 --> 01:22:28,520
Uh, dead bee.

2390
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:32,560
The beekeeping industry is in crisis over the

2391
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,560
shocking and unexplained deaths of hundreds of millions

2392
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:37,580
of bees over the last eight months.

2393
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:40,720
It could impact all of us as bees

2394
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:44,160
called the backbone of agriculture are responsible for

2395
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:46,640
pollinating more than a third of the nation's

2396
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:50,140
crops and current losses are unsustainable.

2397
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:52,860
Janet Chamblee and has more on this stinging

2398
01:22:52,860 --> 01:22:53,560
decline.

2399
01:22:55,140 --> 01:22:57,720
This is what an unfolding disaster looks like

2400
01:22:57,720 --> 01:22:59,440
in the U S beekeeping industry.

2401
01:23:00,500 --> 01:23:02,300
Each of these hives can hold as many

2402
01:23:02,300 --> 01:23:05,220
as 80,000 bees, but for reasons no

2403
01:23:05,220 --> 01:23:07,600
one can pinpoint the bees in all these

2404
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:10,420
hives and tens of thousands more have turned

2405
01:23:10,420 --> 01:23:10,980
up dead.

2406
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:12,660
Have you ever seen it this bad?

2407
01:23:12,860 --> 01:23:13,120
Never.

2408
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:13,920
Not even close.

2409
01:23:14,100 --> 01:23:15,560
The data is showing us that this is

2410
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:17,860
the worst bee loss in recorded history.

2411
01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:20,080
Blake Shook is one of the nation's top

2412
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:20,300
beekeepers.

2413
01:23:21,700 --> 01:23:24,980
He owns desert Creek, honey, and several other

2414
01:23:24,980 --> 01:23:26,080
beekeeping businesses.

2415
01:23:27,260 --> 01:23:30,140
One of them is rebuilding dead hives and

2416
01:23:30,140 --> 01:23:32,260
he's receiving an alarming number of them.

2417
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:33,420
Where are they from?

2418
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:35,020
Yeah, these are from North Dakota that we're

2419
01:23:35,020 --> 01:23:35,860
looking at right here.

2420
01:23:36,140 --> 01:23:36,540
Over there.

2421
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:37,880
We've got Florida back here.

2422
01:23:37,900 --> 01:23:38,680
We've got Georgia.

2423
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:40,820
I've got California over in that corner.

2424
01:23:41,180 --> 01:23:42,940
These play a critical role in U S

2425
01:23:42,940 --> 01:23:43,640
food production.

2426
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,960
In addition to making honey, they pollinate 75

2427
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:49,840
% of the fruits, nuts, and vegetables grown

2428
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:50,280
in the U S.

2429
01:23:52,300 --> 01:23:55,000
It feels like I've heard this story before.

2430
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:57,120
Yeah, this is why we came up in

2431
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:59,160
the conversation after the show, when we did

2432
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:00,040
some of these clips.

2433
01:24:00,780 --> 01:24:02,900
The, uh, yes, we had the bee die

2434
01:24:02,900 --> 01:24:03,280
off.

2435
01:24:03,440 --> 01:24:05,680
Uh, I think it was 10 years ago.

2436
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:06,560
Eight years ago.

2437
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:09,000
I have a 47 second clip from 2014.

2438
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,180
2014.

2439
01:24:10,580 --> 01:24:11,000
Here we go.

2440
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:14,060
Oregon leaders are taking action as thousands and

2441
01:24:14,060 --> 01:24:17,220
thousands of bees are dying, likely from pesticides.

2442
01:24:17,420 --> 01:24:20,260
It's a big concern because insects, especially bees,

2443
01:24:20,260 --> 01:24:22,460
are honey bees pollinate about a third of

2444
01:24:22,460 --> 01:24:23,140
what we eat.

2445
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:23,840
And there you go.

2446
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:26,240
Same, same report, only they had an immediate

2447
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:27,860
culprit, which was pesticides.

2448
01:24:28,700 --> 01:24:28,900
Yeah.

2449
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:30,660
They don't have the culprit for this one.

2450
01:24:30,740 --> 01:24:33,080
And they're also that, that period, the 2014.

2451
01:24:33,580 --> 01:24:34,500
He die off.

2452
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:38,500
They also found some sort of might some

2453
01:24:38,500 --> 01:24:40,280
little bug that was on the bees.

2454
01:24:41,020 --> 01:24:42,740
And they thought it might've not been the

2455
01:24:42,740 --> 01:24:44,860
pesticides at all, but this might, it was

2456
01:24:44,860 --> 01:24:46,300
causing nothing but trouble.

2457
01:24:46,460 --> 01:24:48,940
They haven't identified anything with these bees.

2458
01:24:49,020 --> 01:24:49,760
They're working on it.

2459
01:24:50,260 --> 01:24:52,720
But this is a, uh, worse than before.

2460
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:55,880
And it's, it's not, I mean, it could

2461
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:59,900
be just a unnecessary panic, but this is

2462
01:24:59,900 --> 01:25:00,800
a, it's interesting.

2463
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:01,760
Here we go with part two.

2464
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:05,100
That's $15 billion worth of crops.

2465
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:07,940
If this is a multi-year thing, it'll

2466
01:25:07,940 --> 01:25:09,580
change the way we consume food in the

2467
01:25:09,580 --> 01:25:10,180
United States.

2468
01:25:10,420 --> 01:25:12,360
That's a pretty significant statement.

2469
01:25:12,620 --> 01:25:13,140
It's huge.

2470
01:25:13,620 --> 01:25:14,080
It's huge.

2471
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:15,640
I mean, if we lose 80% of

2472
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:18,480
our bees every year, the industry cannot survive,

2473
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,460
which means we cannot pollinate at the scale

2474
01:25:21,460 --> 01:25:23,320
that we need to produce food in the

2475
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:23,920
United States.

2476
01:25:24,440 --> 01:25:26,860
So what's causing the deaths and why now?

2477
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:29,840
So these are dead bees in there and

2478
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,380
they have always an identifier for a project.

2479
01:25:32,860 --> 01:25:35,500
Julianna Rangel is an entomologist at Texas A

2480
01:25:35,500 --> 01:25:36,260
&M university.

2481
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:38,360
She showed us the lab where they've been

2482
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:39,520
studying the bees.

2483
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:42,480
One potential explanation is that over the last

2484
01:25:42,480 --> 01:25:45,000
few years, we've seen some locations across the

2485
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,580
U S that have had lower forage available

2486
01:25:47,580 --> 01:25:48,180
for bees.

2487
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,680
So when they're supposed to be blooming, let's

2488
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,460
say in April, they're blooming either earlier in

2489
01:25:53,460 --> 01:25:54,900
the year or later in the year.

2490
01:25:55,020 --> 01:25:57,500
And so we have these food deserts basically

2491
01:25:57,500 --> 01:25:59,740
in the summer and fall that the bees

2492
01:25:59,740 --> 01:26:00,900
sometimes cannot withstand.

2493
01:26:01,700 --> 01:26:02,880
Back at Shook's bee farm.

2494
01:26:03,020 --> 01:26:04,120
Here we go with the hood.

2495
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:05,780
We suited up for a look at his

2496
01:26:05,780 --> 01:26:06,900
commercial operation.

2497
01:26:07,420 --> 01:26:07,800
Okay.

2498
01:26:07,980 --> 01:26:08,420
You ready?

2499
01:26:08,580 --> 01:26:08,820
Yep.

2500
01:26:09,060 --> 01:26:09,260
All right.

2501
01:26:09,260 --> 01:26:10,860
The first thing we do is smoke the

2502
01:26:10,860 --> 01:26:13,680
insurance and that calms the bees down.

2503
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:16,120
This is what a healthy hive looks like.

2504
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:18,240
And then in the center here, this is

2505
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:19,660
where the baby bees are raised.

2506
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,860
These just returned from California where the bees

2507
01:26:22,860 --> 01:26:24,520
were used to pollinate almonds.

2508
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:28,800
Why are honeybees so essential to pollinating the

2509
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:29,400
almond crops?

2510
01:26:29,700 --> 01:26:32,620
With honeybees, almonds produce two to 3000 pounds

2511
01:26:32,620 --> 01:26:33,140
per acre.

2512
01:26:33,440 --> 01:26:36,180
Without bees, they produce 200 pounds per acre.

2513
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,260
So there is no almond crop without honeybees.

2514
01:26:39,580 --> 01:26:41,720
Beekeeping groups say the losses may put as

2515
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,800
many as 25% of commercial operations out

2516
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:47,640
of business by year's end with wide reaching

2517
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:48,220
impact.

2518
01:26:48,420 --> 01:26:49,640
I got a call from a friend who

2519
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,300
has 20,000 beehives at the start of

2520
01:26:52,300 --> 01:26:54,320
winter, and he's at less than a thousand.

2521
01:26:54,980 --> 01:26:56,060
And he said, this is it.

2522
01:26:56,300 --> 01:26:56,900
I'm done.

2523
01:26:57,700 --> 01:26:57,920
Hmm.

2524
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:00,720
Well.

2525
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:02,080
Yep.

2526
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:03,760
There's our bad news.

2527
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:05,660
They're killing the bees.

2528
01:27:05,860 --> 01:27:07,480
They're killing the bees.

2529
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,840
How about, uh, got two funny M5M clips.

2530
01:27:11,820 --> 01:27:14,860
This is actually, this is not even, that's

2531
01:27:14,860 --> 01:27:15,580
not even that funny.

2532
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:16,800
It's more puzzling.

2533
01:27:17,300 --> 01:27:19,940
The FCC is asking for the public's input

2534
01:27:19,940 --> 01:27:23,180
on its idea to revise or eliminate some

2535
01:27:23,180 --> 01:27:26,300
regulations on TV station ownership.

2536
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:30,000
The initiative is called delete, delete, delete.

2537
01:27:30,140 --> 01:27:33,140
The FCC chairman says he wants to promote

2538
01:27:33,140 --> 01:27:37,600
local journalism by eliminating longstanding rules that put

2539
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:38,520
limits on ownership.

2540
01:27:38,780 --> 01:27:41,400
Our parent company, Nextstar, believes this will help

2541
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:44,620
local news survive and stay competitive into the

2542
01:27:44,620 --> 01:27:44,980
future.

2543
01:27:45,260 --> 01:27:48,460
The FCC is accepting comments from the public

2544
01:27:48,460 --> 01:27:50,280
through April 14th.

2545
01:27:50,500 --> 01:27:55,420
For more information, you can visit yourvoice.nxt

2546
01:27:55,420 --> 01:28:00,960
.io. Now in what world will, in what

2547
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:05,780
world will more big corporations owning more stations,

2548
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:09,800
but how will that stimulate local news?

2549
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:11,420
I don't believe it for a second.

2550
01:28:11,540 --> 01:28:13,000
It doesn't have any bearing.

2551
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:14,160
This is bull crap.

2552
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:15,660
So is this is one of those, yeah,

2553
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:17,040
if we do it this way, it'll be

2554
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:17,480
better.

2555
01:28:17,820 --> 01:28:20,020
But just saying it's going to be better

2556
01:28:20,020 --> 01:28:21,680
doesn't mean it's going to be better.

2557
01:28:21,780 --> 01:28:24,220
And if it's illogic, but again, that's involved,

2558
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:25,500
which is what we have here.

2559
01:28:25,700 --> 01:28:26,840
Again, long game.

2560
01:28:27,540 --> 01:28:29,240
What if this is the administration going?

2561
01:28:29,580 --> 01:28:29,980
Yeah.

2562
01:28:30,620 --> 01:28:31,000
Yeah.

2563
01:28:31,180 --> 01:28:33,340
You guys can own anything you want.

2564
01:28:33,440 --> 01:28:34,200
Go ahead.

2565
01:28:34,260 --> 01:28:35,380
It's going to make news.

2566
01:28:35,700 --> 01:28:36,100
Great.

2567
01:28:37,700 --> 01:28:41,000
I mean, here's an example of what this

2568
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:41,840
results in.

2569
01:28:42,300 --> 01:28:46,660
This is a supercut from only a handful

2570
01:28:46,660 --> 01:28:49,720
of very large corporations who own all the

2571
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:50,100
media.

2572
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:54,060
Yeah, I hear you screaming, BlackRock owns everything.

2573
01:28:54,220 --> 01:28:54,380
Sure.

2574
01:28:55,540 --> 01:28:58,280
This is the Maryland man supercut.

2575
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:00,080
A critical hearing today in the case of

2576
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:03,540
a Maryland father mistakenly sent to that notorious

2577
01:29:03,540 --> 01:29:04,760
prison in El Salvador.

2578
01:29:05,100 --> 01:29:06,080
Attorneys for the Maryland man.

2579
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:08,200
Who was mistakenly deported to a prison in

2580
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,180
El Salvador are making another push for his

2581
01:29:10,180 --> 01:29:10,780
return today.

2582
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,280
The Trump administration heads to federal court today

2583
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:16,120
after being accused of wrongfully deporting a Maryland

2584
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:17,560
father to El Salvador.

2585
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,020
The Maryland man deported to El Salvador, Africa,

2586
01:29:20,260 --> 01:29:21,440
an administrative error.

2587
01:29:21,580 --> 01:29:23,840
There's actually a court hearing involving the Maryland

2588
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:24,340
father.

2589
01:29:24,500 --> 01:29:26,600
The Maryland father's case is in court.

2590
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:28,440
And happening now, a hearing for a Maryland

2591
01:29:28,440 --> 01:29:28,900
man.

2592
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:30,200
Details about a Maryland man.

2593
01:29:30,300 --> 01:29:31,340
Tonight, the Maryland man.

2594
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:32,440
The Maryland man.

2595
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,740
Maryland father with protected legal status.

2596
01:29:35,740 --> 01:29:38,200
The Maryland father with protected status.

2597
01:29:38,580 --> 01:29:40,620
A Maryland father with protected legal status.

2598
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,320
A Maryland father with protected legal status.

2599
01:29:43,440 --> 01:29:44,460
The Maryland father.

2600
01:29:44,580 --> 01:29:45,320
That Maryland father.

2601
01:29:51,140 --> 01:29:52,720
One of the things that struck me was

2602
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,820
the lawyer for the Maryland man saying, there

2603
01:29:55,820 --> 01:29:58,020
is no such thing as a removal order

2604
01:29:58,020 --> 01:29:58,960
to nowhere.

2605
01:30:00,500 --> 01:30:01,820
More of that, please.

2606
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:03,320
More of that.

2607
01:30:03,480 --> 01:30:04,220
Let him own everything.

2608
01:30:04,740 --> 01:30:06,860
That's exactly what you'd end up with, it's

2609
01:30:06,860 --> 01:30:09,540
already with Sinclair Broadcasting, it's the worst case

2610
01:30:09,540 --> 01:30:10,300
of that sort of thing.

2611
01:30:10,300 --> 01:30:11,020
Yes, they are bad.

2612
01:30:11,380 --> 01:30:12,020
They are bad.

2613
01:30:12,380 --> 01:30:13,760
I mean, they're supposed to be the, and

2614
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:16,120
they're supposed to be the conservative network.

2615
01:30:16,260 --> 01:30:17,480
They're in Austin, I think.

2616
01:30:18,740 --> 01:30:19,140
Sinclair?

2617
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:20,320
I thought they were in the Northeast.

2618
01:30:20,440 --> 01:30:21,460
No, I think they're Austin.

2619
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:23,420
Austin headquarters, or they were.

2620
01:30:25,380 --> 01:30:28,780
By the way, all of this, you know,

2621
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,700
deported the wrong guy, my favorite is the

2622
01:30:31,700 --> 01:30:32,600
gay hairdresser.

2623
01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:35,600
There's no evidence that the gay hairdresser was

2624
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:37,340
thrown into the El Salvador jail.

2625
01:30:37,500 --> 01:30:40,800
I have not seen any true evidence of

2626
01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:41,880
this, just talk.

2627
01:30:42,020 --> 01:30:42,860
Have you seen anything?

2628
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:44,480
No, none whatsoever.

2629
01:30:44,780 --> 01:30:45,660
Even Joe?

2630
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:51,300
The poor gay hairdresser, which was all tatted

2631
01:30:51,300 --> 01:30:54,000
up, so that must be why they did

2632
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:55,720
it, because they're careless.

2633
01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:57,660
Holman is careless.

2634
01:30:57,660 --> 01:30:59,540
Well, here's the thing.

2635
01:31:01,060 --> 01:31:02,720
MS-13 has no hair.

2636
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:07,180
That's a good point.

2637
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:09,320
None of those guys have hair.

2638
01:31:09,340 --> 01:31:09,880
They're all bald.

2639
01:31:10,020 --> 01:31:12,120
They're all bald, that's part of the look.

2640
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:13,060
Yeah.

2641
01:31:13,180 --> 01:31:16,200
But I hear all these, deported wrongly, made

2642
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:19,020
a mistake, clerical error, blah blah blah, but

2643
01:31:19,020 --> 01:31:20,220
I don't see...

2644
01:31:20,220 --> 01:31:20,900
Gay hair.

2645
01:31:20,900 --> 01:31:25,300
Why is the media not highlighting crying children

2646
01:31:25,300 --> 01:31:28,900
of Maryland man and gay hairdresser, who maybe

2647
01:31:28,900 --> 01:31:30,160
doesn't have kids?

2648
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:32,380
Why don't they have mothers crying?

2649
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:33,440
I don't see it.

2650
01:31:34,340 --> 01:31:36,960
If it was there, they would certainly be

2651
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:37,580
showing it.

2652
01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:38,440
Oh yeah.

2653
01:31:38,540 --> 01:31:39,740
That's always the tell for me.

2654
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:45,100
By the way, Canada, hello Canada, we love

2655
01:31:45,100 --> 01:31:45,420
you.

2656
01:31:45,940 --> 01:31:46,960
Hello Canada.

2657
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:49,980
And now that Tom Ford loves us, man,

2658
01:31:50,420 --> 01:31:50,940
remember that?

2659
01:31:51,180 --> 01:31:52,320
Tom Ford, he loves us.

2660
01:31:52,440 --> 01:31:54,160
He loves us.

2661
01:31:54,300 --> 01:31:55,240
Wants to give us minerals.

2662
01:31:55,380 --> 01:31:56,060
Take my minerals.

2663
01:31:57,080 --> 01:32:00,460
So Mark Carney, he sees the writing on

2664
01:32:00,460 --> 01:32:01,980
the wall, oh, we better do something for

2665
01:32:01,980 --> 01:32:02,280
Canada.

2666
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:04,200
We gotta do something.

2667
01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:06,880
I think we should build government housing.

2668
01:32:07,860 --> 01:32:08,560
Government housing.

2669
01:32:09,020 --> 01:32:11,540
Hundreds of thousands of government homes, up to

2670
01:32:11,540 --> 01:32:12,220
half a million.

2671
01:32:13,020 --> 01:32:14,440
By the way, you won't own them, they

2672
01:32:14,440 --> 01:32:15,100
will be rentals.

2673
01:32:15,100 --> 01:32:17,540
We used to build things in this country.

2674
01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:20,060
After the Second World War, Canada faced a

2675
01:32:20,060 --> 01:32:20,700
housing crisis.

2676
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:23,320
The government built prefabricated homes that were easy

2677
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:24,620
to assemble and inexpensive.

2678
01:32:25,020 --> 01:32:27,560
And those homes are still here 80 years

2679
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:27,800
later.

2680
01:32:27,900 --> 01:32:29,300
Now we're in another housing crisis.

2681
01:32:29,500 --> 01:32:31,700
And it's time your government got back into

2682
01:32:31,700 --> 01:32:33,760
the business of building affordable homes.

2683
01:32:34,100 --> 01:32:36,240
We will build new homes for Canadians at

2684
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:38,360
a pace not seen since the Second World

2685
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:38,640
War.

2686
01:32:38,940 --> 01:32:41,520
We'll build a Canada you can afford.

2687
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:48,580
Yes, we'll build a Canada and here's Polyev's

2688
01:32:48,580 --> 01:32:50,760
response to this ludicrous idea.

2689
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:53,040
He wants to put the liberal policies on

2690
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:53,600
steroids.

2691
01:32:54,060 --> 01:32:55,500
His housing plan, I don't know if you

2692
01:32:55,500 --> 01:32:57,700
saw this earlier this week, he wants to

2693
01:32:57,700 --> 01:33:02,260
create a government-run construction company that is

2694
01:33:02,260 --> 01:33:05,400
going to make prefab tiny homes with no

2695
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:06,180
parking spots.

2696
01:33:06,540 --> 01:33:08,020
This is his idea for housing.

2697
01:33:08,020 --> 01:33:10,960
This is even more radical than the stuff

2698
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:14,300
that came from Stephen Gilbo and Justin Trudeau

2699
01:33:14,300 --> 01:33:15,480
over the last 10 years.

2700
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:18,460
This is not a serious plan to protect

2701
01:33:18,460 --> 01:33:20,440
our economy and break our dependence.

2702
01:33:20,860 --> 01:33:21,700
I love it.

2703
01:33:22,380 --> 01:33:23,860
Everybody gets a tiny home.

2704
01:33:27,020 --> 01:33:28,220
With no parking.

2705
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:29,000
No parking.

2706
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:30,700
You don't need parking.

2707
01:33:30,860 --> 01:33:32,260
You'll have a 15-minute city.

2708
01:33:32,340 --> 01:33:33,220
Walk everywhere.

2709
01:33:33,420 --> 01:33:34,240
Get a bicycle.

2710
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:36,480
15-minute city of tiny homes.

2711
01:33:38,460 --> 01:33:39,260
Sounds great.

2712
01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:42,260
Want to talk about the protests?

2713
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:43,660
Big protests over the weekend.

2714
01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:46,320
Yeah, big, big protests all run by ActBlue

2715
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:50,300
and some odd union as well.

2716
01:33:50,440 --> 01:33:52,920
There were some unions involved with this.

2717
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:54,240
The Workers' Party.

2718
01:33:54,440 --> 01:33:55,740
But if you look at the – what

2719
01:33:55,740 --> 01:33:56,220
was it called?

2720
01:33:56,600 --> 01:33:57,000
Identify?

2721
01:33:57,080 --> 01:33:58,040
What were those guys called?

2722
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:00,360
Yeah, I think it was Identify.

2723
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:01,380
Not Identify.

2724
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:02,060
It was something else.

2725
01:34:02,900 --> 01:34:05,320
If you look at their website and you

2726
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:06,580
– I always go to – just hit

2727
01:34:06,580 --> 01:34:07,780
the donation link, people.

2728
01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:09,240
ActBlue.

2729
01:34:09,460 --> 01:34:12,760
That is a Democrat party system.

2730
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:14,740
That should have been – yeah, they do

2731
01:34:14,740 --> 01:34:15,720
a lot of embezzling.

2732
01:34:15,860 --> 01:34:18,240
Just like WinRed for the Republicans, which I

2733
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:20,520
think – I've never even seen or heard

2734
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:21,240
of WinRed.

2735
01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:24,600
Yeah, that's the – what's his face?

2736
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:30,160
The Trump's son-in-law.

2737
01:34:32,090 --> 01:34:33,790
You know, the one who's married to the

2738
01:34:33,790 --> 01:34:34,370
daughter.

2739
01:34:34,670 --> 01:34:35,050
That one.

2740
01:34:35,250 --> 01:34:35,690
Yeah, yeah.

2741
01:34:36,350 --> 01:34:36,870
Jared.

2742
01:34:37,190 --> 01:34:37,570
Jared.

2743
01:34:38,030 --> 01:34:38,490
Jared?

2744
01:34:38,750 --> 01:34:39,090
Jared.

2745
01:34:39,610 --> 01:34:40,270
What's his name?

2746
01:34:41,070 --> 01:34:43,290
The guy with Subway, Subway sandwiches.

2747
01:34:43,290 --> 01:34:44,550
Jared Kushner.

2748
01:34:44,710 --> 01:34:45,130
There you go.

2749
01:34:45,550 --> 01:34:46,410
It's Kushner's deal.

2750
01:34:46,610 --> 01:34:48,710
Kushner make – he might have sold it,

2751
01:34:48,830 --> 01:34:51,770
but he was making bank in the first

2752
01:34:51,770 --> 01:34:52,030
term.

2753
01:34:52,050 --> 01:34:53,630
Yeah, it's another scam.

2754
01:34:53,990 --> 01:34:54,170
Scam.

2755
01:34:54,170 --> 01:34:55,030
Scammer.

2756
01:34:55,290 --> 01:34:55,570
Scammer.

2757
01:34:55,890 --> 01:34:56,970
Protests, BBC.

2758
01:34:57,230 --> 01:34:57,930
Let's start with that.

2759
01:34:57,990 --> 01:34:58,970
Is it from the World Service?

2760
01:35:00,150 --> 01:35:01,450
Yes, it is, actually.

2761
01:35:01,690 --> 01:35:02,610
Oh, hold on a second.

2762
01:35:04,290 --> 01:35:06,670
I need – I promised World Service clips

2763
01:35:06,670 --> 01:35:07,430
and I've got them.

2764
01:35:07,590 --> 01:35:08,450
Yeah, OK.

2765
01:35:09,150 --> 01:35:10,050
Here we go.

2766
01:35:12,270 --> 01:35:15,190
And now, live from London, we bring you

2767
01:35:15,190 --> 01:35:18,490
the BBC World Service as we look around

2768
01:35:18,490 --> 01:35:20,910
the globe for things taking place in your

2769
01:35:20,910 --> 01:35:21,450
world.

2770
01:35:21,450 --> 01:35:23,690
In this case, we go to the protests

2771
01:35:23,690 --> 01:35:26,590
against the evil president of the United States,

2772
01:35:27,030 --> 01:35:27,950
Donald J.

2773
01:35:28,130 --> 01:35:28,450
Trump.

2774
01:35:28,670 --> 01:35:30,050
This is the BBC.

2775
01:35:35,740 --> 01:35:39,040
Tens of thousands of protesters marched in Washington

2776
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:42,660
and other major American cities on Saturday, denouncing

2777
01:35:42,660 --> 01:35:45,580
President Trump and what they consider his authoritarian

2778
01:35:45,580 --> 01:35:46,400
policies.

2779
01:35:47,180 --> 01:35:49,060
It was the largest single day of demonstrations

2780
01:35:49,060 --> 01:35:51,660
against Mr. Trump since his return to office.

2781
01:35:52,420 --> 01:35:55,460
Protesters condemned the dismissal of government officials, the

2782
01:35:55,460 --> 01:35:58,120
breakup of the Federal Department of Education, and

2783
01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:00,100
the president's sweeping new trade tariffs.

2784
01:36:00,740 --> 01:36:03,280
These people said the administration's actions would damage

2785
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:05,860
the economy and leave the USA weaker.

2786
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:08,860
Stock market's crashing, the economy's going to crash,

2787
01:36:09,020 --> 01:36:11,500
it's already crashing, and it's all about Trump.

2788
01:36:11,660 --> 01:36:14,660
His actions, his stupidity, his mistakes.

2789
01:36:14,660 --> 01:36:18,420
One of my major concerns is how much

2790
01:36:18,420 --> 01:36:22,020
disinformation that they are perpetuating out in the

2791
01:36:22,020 --> 01:36:25,840
public, that basic science and basic facts that

2792
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:28,200
our democracy depends on is being torn down.

2793
01:36:28,460 --> 01:36:30,720
And when that happens, people get hurt.

2794
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:33,160
Our democracy depends on science.

2795
01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:36,760
It's being torn down and people are getting

2796
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:37,280
hurt.

2797
01:36:37,460 --> 01:36:38,120
They're getting hurt.

2798
01:36:38,260 --> 01:36:39,440
Well, some people are getting hurt.

2799
01:36:39,500 --> 01:36:40,940
People who are losing their jobs are getting

2800
01:36:40,940 --> 01:36:41,300
hurt.

2801
01:36:41,300 --> 01:36:42,920
Well, that's for sure.

2802
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:46,000
So let's, I have two more clips from

2803
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:47,780
the NPR, but before we do that, I

2804
01:36:47,780 --> 01:36:49,280
have an Interregnum clip.

2805
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:50,120
Interregnum.

2806
01:36:50,780 --> 01:36:53,740
Yeah, I just have a short 14-second

2807
01:36:53,740 --> 01:36:56,060
clip of some of the Trump, you talked

2808
01:36:56,060 --> 01:36:58,400
these through, but we have, here are some

2809
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:00,740
Trump protest chants.

2810
01:37:00,980 --> 01:37:01,780
Oh, good, good, good.

2811
01:37:01,860 --> 01:37:02,300
Let me guess.

2812
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:05,460
Is it, hey, hey, ho, ho, Trump's no

2813
01:37:05,460 --> 01:37:06,760
good, Elon's got to go?

2814
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:08,140
Is that one of the chants?

2815
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:09,960
It's close, no, but you'll hear them.

2816
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,300
Donald Trump has got to go, hey, hey,

2817
01:37:13,480 --> 01:37:17,520
ho, ho, hey, Trump, you liar, we set

2818
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:18,720
your ass on fire.

2819
01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:22,000
No Trump, no pay, pay, pay, no fascist

2820
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:22,680
USA.

2821
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:27,380
President Trump took, yeah, we had the, we

2822
01:37:27,380 --> 01:37:28,720
had the handout with those.

2823
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:30,660
Did we have the Trump, you liar, your

2824
01:37:30,660 --> 01:37:31,580
pants are on fire?

2825
01:37:32,180 --> 01:37:32,760
Was that in there?

2826
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:33,480
I don't remember it.

2827
01:37:33,480 --> 01:37:35,700
This may be something for new for this

2828
01:37:35,700 --> 01:37:36,100
weekend.

2829
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:41,100
They paid some PR firm a lot of

2830
01:37:41,100 --> 01:37:42,200
money to come up with that.

2831
01:37:43,060 --> 01:37:45,300
Listen, guys, we really need to work on

2832
01:37:45,300 --> 01:37:45,940
our chants.

2833
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:47,520
Can you come up with a list for

2834
01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:47,780
us?

2835
01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:48,320
Chants.

2836
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:48,960
Our chants.

2837
01:37:49,340 --> 01:37:51,100
Hey, hey, ho, ho has got to go

2838
01:37:51,100 --> 01:37:51,840
itself.

2839
01:37:52,140 --> 01:37:53,720
Donald Trump, you're a liar.

2840
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:55,800
You're setting your own house on fire.

2841
01:37:56,100 --> 01:37:57,040
Genius people.

2842
01:37:57,740 --> 01:37:59,260
I think it's his pants on fire in

2843
01:37:59,260 --> 01:38:00,020
that one.

2844
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:00,720
Oh, okay.

2845
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:01,360
Pants on fire.

2846
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:03,380
How old are they?

2847
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:05,280
Liar, liar, pants on fire.

2848
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:05,780
Seriously.

2849
01:38:06,060 --> 01:38:08,340
How old are they?

2850
01:38:08,500 --> 01:38:10,240
It turns out that most of the people

2851
01:38:10,240 --> 01:38:11,680
in most of these protests were all in

2852
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:12,500
their 70s.

2853
01:38:12,740 --> 01:38:13,060
Yes.

2854
01:38:13,500 --> 01:38:15,100
There were some younger ones in New York,

2855
01:38:15,220 --> 01:38:16,720
but I'll let you play your clips first.

2856
01:38:17,380 --> 01:38:18,700
Yeah, well, let's start with this.

2857
01:38:19,660 --> 01:38:23,420
There's a woman on TikTok and YouTube who

2858
01:38:23,420 --> 01:38:25,940
goes out and does interviews with people.

2859
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:28,220
And this is the TikTok clip, by the

2860
01:38:28,220 --> 01:38:28,380
way.

2861
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:30,920
And even though it was not, it was,

2862
01:38:31,060 --> 01:38:31,780
I got it off Twitter.

2863
01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:35,300
And she wears a, Musk was not elected.

2864
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:38,560
And so she can goad people.

2865
01:38:39,380 --> 01:38:40,980
And she agrees with them.

2866
01:38:40,980 --> 01:38:42,340
Oh, yeah, he's crazy.

2867
01:38:42,540 --> 01:38:44,620
And she does these interviews and it's really

2868
01:38:44,620 --> 01:38:46,580
pretty good stuff because she gets people to

2869
01:38:46,580 --> 01:38:48,880
say, because they think she's an ally.

2870
01:38:49,140 --> 01:38:50,440
So they go off to beat Ben.

2871
01:38:50,620 --> 01:38:51,420
Oh, one of these.

2872
01:38:51,500 --> 01:38:52,420
Oh, that's always funny.

2873
01:38:53,580 --> 01:38:56,140
It's very funny because people get suckered so

2874
01:38:56,140 --> 01:38:58,000
easily and she's, oh, yeah, you're right.

2875
01:38:58,000 --> 01:38:59,820
Yo, yeah, what else?

2876
01:39:01,900 --> 01:39:03,880
And so she found one guy who is

2877
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:05,500
completely off the rails.

2878
01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:07,260
To the criminal charge of rape.

2879
01:39:07,540 --> 01:39:11,180
He is credibly alleged of having raped a

2880
01:39:11,180 --> 01:39:12,580
14 year old girl.

2881
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:14,240
Is that what you want for your president?

2882
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:15,600
Absolutely not.

2883
01:39:16,340 --> 01:39:18,540
Wait, is that, is that.

2884
01:39:19,540 --> 01:39:21,140
When did this come up?

2885
01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:23,560
Who knows?

2886
01:39:24,380 --> 01:39:25,700
Which one are you guys talking about?

2887
01:39:25,700 --> 01:39:27,420
I'm sorry, I interrupted you.

2888
01:39:27,620 --> 01:39:28,940
You're good, my friend, you're good.

2889
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:32,160
I was talking about our alleged president, our

2890
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:35,600
fascist, nazified, idiot, moronic.

2891
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:37,020
The mango menace?

2892
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:38,700
Break our NATO alliance.

2893
01:39:38,980 --> 01:39:40,800
Turn our allies against us.

2894
01:39:41,060 --> 01:39:42,100
Steal our money.

2895
01:39:42,620 --> 01:39:46,560
Throw 71 people, 71 million people off Medicaid

2896
01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:47,920
that people depend on.

2897
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:49,540
71 million people.

2898
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:50,740
Is this what you want?

2899
01:39:50,900 --> 01:39:52,660
Do you want money taken from your grandma?

2900
01:39:53,060 --> 01:39:54,980
Do you want to not support battered women?

2901
01:39:54,980 --> 01:39:57,060
And abused children?

2902
01:39:57,160 --> 01:39:58,600
Is that what you believe?

2903
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:00,120
Stand up and say it, fascist.

2904
01:40:00,260 --> 01:40:01,240
Stand up and say it.

2905
01:40:01,420 --> 01:40:02,940
I'm standing up and saying what I believe.

2906
01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:04,440
You stand up and say what you believe.

2907
01:40:04,620 --> 01:40:05,140
And not platitudes.

2908
01:40:05,860 --> 01:40:06,900
And not idolatry.

2909
01:40:07,160 --> 01:40:08,260
Let's hear ideas.

2910
01:40:08,540 --> 01:40:09,520
You have no ideas.

2911
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:12,760
All you have is hate, racism, stupidity, and

2912
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:13,180
greed.

2913
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:15,180
A round of applause for that right there.

2914
01:40:15,260 --> 01:40:16,840
He has been waiting a while for that.

2915
01:40:17,140 --> 01:40:18,600
Yeah, that was great.

2916
01:40:21,100 --> 01:40:22,000
Yo, hold on.

2917
01:40:22,100 --> 01:40:24,040
No, no, no, no, no, no.

2918
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:25,040
You've got to stop.

2919
01:40:25,140 --> 01:40:25,960
You've got to stop.

2920
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:30,560
I don't think so.

2921
01:40:30,740 --> 01:40:31,500
Yes, I do.

2922
01:40:31,980 --> 01:40:32,160
I do.

2923
01:40:32,300 --> 01:40:34,400
I think that was a great clip.

2924
01:40:34,540 --> 01:40:37,440
That is a delusional dem if I ever

2925
01:40:37,440 --> 01:40:37,860
heard one.

2926
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:38,400
That was great.

2927
01:40:38,420 --> 01:40:39,180
Yeah, that's for sure.

2928
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:41,860
So this girl, she also has these two

2929
01:40:41,860 --> 01:40:43,660
bodyguards that are near her.

2930
01:40:43,780 --> 01:40:44,180
Bodyguards.

2931
01:40:44,180 --> 01:40:45,860
That look like they're in this case, they

2932
01:40:45,860 --> 01:40:46,960
were at a Tesla thing.

2933
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:49,940
And they were behind her as though they

2934
01:40:49,940 --> 01:40:52,160
were guarding the Tesla factory.

2935
01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:54,820
And they kept getting called out.

2936
01:40:54,980 --> 01:40:57,080
But they're always around, these two guys.

2937
01:40:57,180 --> 01:40:58,960
And they're two guys, just in case somebody

2938
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:01,060
gets, you know, attacks this woman.

2939
01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:01,480
Yeah.

2940
01:41:01,640 --> 01:41:03,920
Because she's goading them into saying all kinds

2941
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:04,600
of crazy stuff.

2942
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:06,260
And she goes from person to person with

2943
01:41:06,260 --> 01:41:06,440
this.

2944
01:41:06,860 --> 01:41:09,200
Elon was an elected thing as though she's

2945
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:10,160
an ally.

2946
01:41:11,060 --> 01:41:12,380
It's just very well done.

2947
01:41:12,480 --> 01:41:15,400
The thing that's disturbing is he sounds like

2948
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:16,600
he really believes that.

2949
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:17,820
Oh, no, he does.

2950
01:41:18,180 --> 01:41:20,120
He was incredibly sincere.

2951
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:21,320
His hair was disheveled.

2952
01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:23,060
He looked a little like he was probably

2953
01:41:23,060 --> 01:41:23,880
around 60.

2954
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:25,600
And he looked like Bernie Sanders a little

2955
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:25,860
bit.

2956
01:41:26,060 --> 01:41:26,280
Oh.

2957
01:41:26,480 --> 01:41:27,640
And he's just going nuts.

2958
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:28,920
I mean, he was yelling and screaming.

2959
01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:30,960
71 million kicked off Medicaid.

2960
01:41:31,020 --> 01:41:32,820
It's factually just not true.

2961
01:41:33,980 --> 01:41:35,220
I don't understand where this is going.

2962
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:37,000
No, everything he said is factually not true.

2963
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:38,180
It's beside the point.

2964
01:41:38,480 --> 01:41:38,580
Yeah.

2965
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:40,480
Trump is a rapist.

2966
01:41:40,660 --> 01:41:42,340
You're raping a 14-year-old.

2967
01:41:42,480 --> 01:41:43,460
Where did that come from?

2968
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:45,880
Well, he should take it back to the

2969
01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:46,880
pee-pee tape.

2970
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:48,080
Where's the pee-pee tape?

2971
01:41:49,020 --> 01:41:49,920
Hey, who was it?

2972
01:41:50,340 --> 01:41:52,360
Who was the actor who was going to

2973
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:52,920
show us that?

2974
01:41:53,080 --> 01:41:55,440
Oh, it was Roseanne's ex-husband, Tom.

2975
01:41:55,500 --> 01:41:56,220
Tom Arnold.

2976
01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:56,940
I got the tape.

2977
01:41:56,940 --> 01:41:58,200
Yeah, yeah, he was going to reveal the

2978
01:41:58,200 --> 01:41:58,320
tape.

2979
01:41:58,360 --> 01:41:59,000
I got the tape.

2980
01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:00,100
I got the tape, everybody.

2981
01:42:00,340 --> 01:42:01,380
Good memory on that one.

2982
01:42:01,480 --> 01:42:01,760
Whew.

2983
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:02,940
That's about all I got.

2984
01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:04,040
Protest USA.

2985
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:06,260
This is the NPR rap, I believe.

2986
01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:08,960
Thousands of anti-Trump protesters took to the

2987
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:11,880
streets today in cities across the country, including

2988
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:15,000
Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, and New York.

2989
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:16,860
Take a listen to the scene from the

2990
01:42:16,860 --> 01:42:17,440
nation's capital.

2991
01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:24,520
NPR's Emily Fang was at the protest in

2992
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:26,800
Washington, D.C., and joins us now.

2993
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:27,940
Good to have you with us, Emily.

2994
01:42:28,440 --> 01:42:29,400
Thanks for having me, Asma.

2995
01:42:29,620 --> 01:42:32,460
What did you hear about why people are

2996
01:42:32,460 --> 01:42:32,800
protesting?

2997
01:42:33,140 --> 01:42:35,900
They're protesting what they say is executive overreach

2998
01:42:35,900 --> 01:42:38,880
by President Trump and his ally, billionaire Elon

2999
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:39,220
Musk.

3000
01:42:39,300 --> 01:42:39,540
Ally.

3001
01:42:39,780 --> 01:42:41,880
Here's a sampling of signs among hundreds that

3002
01:42:41,880 --> 01:42:43,320
I saw at the mall today in Washington.

3003
01:42:43,320 --> 01:42:45,380
There was one that said, quote, you can't

3004
01:42:45,380 --> 01:42:47,040
spell felon without Elon.

3005
01:42:47,480 --> 01:42:49,880
Another that said hands off due process.

3006
01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:50,580
Hold on.

3007
01:42:50,660 --> 01:42:51,120
Hold on.

3008
01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:52,840
Call the agency.

3009
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:54,020
That was good.

3010
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:55,100
That's a good one.

3011
01:42:55,140 --> 01:42:56,740
I have to say that's a good one.

3012
01:42:56,900 --> 01:42:59,020
There was one that said, quote, you can't

3013
01:42:59,020 --> 01:43:00,660
spell felon without Elon.

3014
01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:03,380
Another that said hands off due process.

3015
01:43:03,660 --> 01:43:05,980
And this pun, are you tariff-eyed?

3016
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:08,800
So the top concerns among protesters I saw

3017
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:11,400
today, inflation brought on by trade tariffs, the

3018
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:13,460
role that Musk has in the current government

3019
01:43:13,460 --> 01:43:15,720
because he is not an elected official, and

3020
01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:17,320
also many kinds of worries about the expansion

3021
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:18,340
of executive power.

3022
01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:20,940
You mentioned the expansion of executive power.

3023
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:23,340
Did you hear specific concerns about that from

3024
01:43:23,340 --> 01:43:23,720
protesters?

3025
01:43:24,260 --> 01:43:24,660
Absolutely.

3026
01:43:24,940 --> 01:43:27,900
Here's Juliana, a federal employee who did not

3027
01:43:27,900 --> 01:43:29,600
want her full name aired because she's afraid

3028
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:30,720
of being fired herself.

3029
01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:32,880
She was holding a sign that said, quote,

3030
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:34,380
I need to be able to tell my

3031
01:43:34,380 --> 01:43:36,000
children I did not stay silent.

3032
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:40,580
This time around, I have concerns that I

3033
01:43:40,580 --> 01:43:43,320
wonder if we will have an election, to

3034
01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:43,840
be frank.

3035
01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:46,460
She specifically fears that Trump may seek a

3036
01:43:46,460 --> 01:43:49,600
third presidential term, even though this is unconstitutional.

3037
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,440
This is expressly prohibited by the 22nd Amendment.

3038
01:43:53,180 --> 01:43:55,280
And this so this is the brilliance.

3039
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:58,960
Trump in this regard is just so smart.

3040
01:43:59,060 --> 01:44:01,460
He knows he just throws his stuff out

3041
01:44:01,460 --> 01:44:03,680
there and that's all they can talk about,

3042
01:44:03,740 --> 01:44:04,920
all they can report on.

3043
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:06,840
And it makes you sound idiotic.

3044
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:09,360
And I don't think they realize it.

3045
01:44:09,860 --> 01:44:11,860
I mean, that is trolling to the to

3046
01:44:11,860 --> 01:44:14,100
the to the nth degree, obviously.

3047
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:16,260
Yeah, he's a great troll.

3048
01:44:16,980 --> 01:44:18,920
Yeah, it's beautiful.

3049
01:44:20,100 --> 01:44:22,220
And the grid's going to go down.

3050
01:44:22,420 --> 01:44:23,520
The grid.

3051
01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:24,360
Here we go.

3052
01:44:25,180 --> 01:44:27,900
Another protester I talked to, Austin Shriver, drove

3053
01:44:27,900 --> 01:44:29,920
in from Virginia nearby, and he and a

3054
01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:32,640
friend were holding signs saying no kings.

3055
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:34,780
And he said he was angry about executive

3056
01:44:34,780 --> 01:44:36,760
orders cracking down on immigration.

3057
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:39,320
If the president can decide that he's going

3058
01:44:39,320 --> 01:44:40,800
to ignore the courts when they tell him

3059
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:42,700
he's doing the wrong thing, then the courts

3060
01:44:42,700 --> 01:44:45,280
have no power to check the executive.

3061
01:44:45,740 --> 01:44:48,220
He's referring to this ongoing legal case where

3062
01:44:48,220 --> 01:44:50,400
a federal judge says there was a possibility

3063
01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:53,640
the Trump administration ignored his court order to

3064
01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:56,260
stop deportation flights to El Salvador last month.

3065
01:44:56,560 --> 01:44:58,560
You know, Emily, it seems like the left

3066
01:44:58,560 --> 01:45:00,680
has been struggling with how to oppose Trump

3067
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:01,840
these last couple of months.

3068
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:05,100
It seems the left has been struggling.

3069
01:45:05,220 --> 01:45:06,280
That's all you needed to say.

3070
01:45:06,460 --> 01:45:07,060
Boom, stop.

3071
01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:07,580
Full stop.

3072
01:45:07,780 --> 01:45:09,120
It seems like the left has been struggling

3073
01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:11,400
with how to oppose Trump these last couple

3074
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:11,760
of months.

3075
01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:13,900
We haven't seen the large scale protests that

3076
01:45:13,900 --> 01:45:15,520
we saw during Trump's first term.

3077
01:45:15,960 --> 01:45:17,780
Today seems to have been kind of the

3078
01:45:17,780 --> 01:45:20,380
first public opposition to President Trump's second term.

3079
01:45:20,520 --> 01:45:22,320
I'm curious what you were tracking outside of

3080
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:22,680
Washington.

3081
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:25,420
These protests are happening all over the country.

3082
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:28,420
There are about 1,200 of what organizers

3083
01:45:28,420 --> 01:45:31,140
are calling hands off mass action protests.

3084
01:45:31,140 --> 01:45:34,320
You know, sizable demonstrations at state capitals and

3085
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:36,880
parks, city halls, etc., nationwide.

3086
01:45:37,220 --> 01:45:39,040
Have you heard anything from President Trump about

3087
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:39,720
the protests today?

3088
01:45:40,380 --> 01:45:42,460
He's out playing golf at his club in

3089
01:45:42,460 --> 01:45:44,760
Florida today and has not given any interviews.

3090
01:45:44,980 --> 01:45:46,460
But the White House did say in a

3091
01:45:46,460 --> 01:45:48,620
statement that his position is, quote, clear.

3092
01:45:48,820 --> 01:45:51,540
He will always protect Social Security, Medicare and

3093
01:45:51,540 --> 01:45:54,820
Medicaid for eligible beneficiaries, though the statement did

3094
01:45:54,820 --> 01:45:56,360
not address the protests directly.

3095
01:45:56,360 --> 01:45:58,960
Well, why didn't they say, why didn't they

3096
01:45:58,960 --> 01:46:01,620
say, well, and he lied because clearly he

3097
01:46:01,620 --> 01:46:04,800
has taken, kicked 71 million people off of

3098
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:05,140
Medicaid.

3099
01:46:05,300 --> 01:46:06,120
Why didn't they say that?

3100
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:06,940
Yeah.

3101
01:46:07,140 --> 01:46:07,860
We just didn't.

3102
01:46:08,060 --> 01:46:09,300
We just heard the guy say that.

3103
01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:11,740
Bless you.

3104
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:13,500
I have a report.

3105
01:46:13,800 --> 01:46:15,460
Wait, before we finish, I got one last

3106
01:46:15,460 --> 01:46:15,680
one.

3107
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:16,240
Oh, sorry.

3108
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:19,020
Because this was, even though it's actually 1

3109
01:46:19,020 --> 01:46:21,980
,300 protests, it was organized by Soros's boys.

3110
01:46:22,500 --> 01:46:23,940
There was a world protest too.

3111
01:46:23,940 --> 01:46:25,160
I don't know how they pulled this off,

3112
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:27,380
but this is the world protest.

3113
01:46:27,700 --> 01:46:29,400
NPR reported on that too.

3114
01:46:29,740 --> 01:46:31,980
Anti-Trump demonstrations took place around the country

3115
01:46:31,980 --> 01:46:32,260
today.

3116
01:46:32,540 --> 01:46:32,900
Anti-Trump?

3117
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:33,520
What?

3118
01:46:34,220 --> 01:46:36,840
Anti-Trump demonstrations in Paris.

3119
01:46:37,080 --> 01:46:37,920
I mean, come on.

3120
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:38,280
Yes.

3121
01:46:38,420 --> 01:46:40,680
Anti-Trump demonstrations took place around the country

3122
01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:41,940
today and across Europe.

3123
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:45,300
Esme Nicholson reports the protests follow Trump's new

3124
01:46:45,300 --> 01:46:46,900
tariffs on nearly all the goods the U

3125
01:46:46,900 --> 01:46:49,560
.S. imports because many worry it may threaten

3126
01:46:49,560 --> 01:46:51,140
prosperity and peace.

3127
01:46:51,140 --> 01:46:54,140
American citizens living in Berlin gathered in front

3128
01:46:54,140 --> 01:46:56,780
of a Tesla showroom on Saturday to demand

3129
01:46:56,780 --> 01:46:59,080
an end to the chaos back home.

3130
01:46:59,540 --> 01:47:01,900
In a message meant for Trump advisor Elon

3131
01:47:01,900 --> 01:47:04,680
Musk, one protester was holding a banner reading,

3132
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:05,800
Shut up, Elon.

3133
01:47:06,060 --> 01:47:07,320
No one voted for you.

3134
01:47:07,780 --> 01:47:08,060
Genius.

3135
01:47:08,220 --> 01:47:10,600
Similar sentiment was clear at protests in Frankfurt,

3136
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:13,780
Paris, and Lisbon, where signs read, Silence is

3137
01:47:13,780 --> 01:47:14,380
complicity.

3138
01:47:14,740 --> 01:47:17,540
In London, hundreds of Americans gathered in Trafalgar

3139
01:47:17,540 --> 01:47:19,900
Square and chanted, Hands off Canada.

3140
01:47:19,900 --> 01:47:23,520
It was Americans protesting in Trafalgar Square.

3141
01:47:23,740 --> 01:47:25,720
So it was expats who don't even live

3142
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:26,220
in America.

3143
01:47:27,560 --> 01:47:29,440
What are you worried about?

3144
01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:32,620
In Trafalgar Square and chanted, Hands off Canada.

3145
01:47:32,840 --> 01:47:33,820
Hands off Greenland.

3146
01:47:34,300 --> 01:47:35,380
Hands off Ukraine.

3147
01:47:35,860 --> 01:47:38,440
The demonstrations come as markets have plummeted in

3148
01:47:38,440 --> 01:47:40,020
reaction to Trump's tariffs.

3149
01:47:40,420 --> 01:47:42,760
For NPR News, I'm Esme Nicholson in Berlin.

3150
01:47:43,180 --> 01:47:44,900
All right, I have a report on the

3151
01:47:44,900 --> 01:47:46,180
worldwide protests.

3152
01:47:46,180 --> 01:47:49,020
From Chicago to Washington, D.C., and across

3153
01:47:49,020 --> 01:47:51,860
the U.S., people gathered Saturday to speak

3154
01:47:51,860 --> 01:47:53,380
out against the Trump administration.

3155
01:47:53,700 --> 01:47:57,360
They protested President Trump's key initiatives, including large

3156
01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:00,280
-scale cuts to federal agencies and the new

3157
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:03,100
slew of tariffs that have tanked global stock

3158
01:48:03,100 --> 01:48:03,580
markets.

3159
01:48:03,900 --> 01:48:06,880
Their tariffs are not only imbecilic, they're illegal,

3160
01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:10,040
they're unconstitutional, and we're going to turn this

3161
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:10,540
around.

3162
01:48:10,640 --> 01:48:12,980
That's Raskin at one of these things?

3163
01:48:13,620 --> 01:48:16,200
They're illegal, they're unconstitutional.

3164
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:19,280
Protesters also took to the streets in Paris,

3165
01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:22,000
London, and other European capitals.

3166
01:48:22,140 --> 01:48:24,600
The policies Trump is following are a threat

3167
01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:25,320
to the world.

3168
01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:27,840
The world as we have come to know

3169
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:29,360
it and enjoy it.

3170
01:48:29,480 --> 01:48:31,140
Yeah, with cheap Chinese junk.

3171
01:48:31,680 --> 01:48:33,140
As very privileged Westerners.

3172
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:34,500
Today, we really want to send a message

3173
01:48:34,500 --> 01:48:36,400
of solidarity to our friends and families back

3174
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:36,800
in America.

3175
01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:39,060
President Trump is spending the weekend at his

3176
01:48:39,060 --> 01:48:41,160
Mar-a-Lago estate here in South Florida.

3177
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:44,300
Some new tariffs on goods imported to the

3178
01:48:44,300 --> 01:48:47,720
U.S. went into effect Saturday, triggering customs

3179
01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:50,200
agents' collections at ports of entry.

3180
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:52,540
In a post on Truth Social, the president

3181
01:48:52,540 --> 01:48:56,020
asked Americans to hang tough, calling the tariffs

3182
01:48:56,020 --> 01:48:58,020
an economic revolution.

3183
01:48:58,300 --> 01:49:00,600
But many consumers say they are worried.

3184
01:49:01,180 --> 01:49:04,160
A YouGov poll finds that just over two

3185
01:49:04,160 --> 01:49:06,780
-thirds of Americans think the price of goods

3186
01:49:06,780 --> 01:49:08,660
they typically buy will rise.

3187
01:49:09,480 --> 01:49:13,620
Yeah, here's the New York protest, and here's

3188
01:49:13,620 --> 01:49:16,000
where the union lady shows up.

3189
01:49:16,100 --> 01:49:18,140
Tell me what democracy looks like.

3190
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:21,260
Protesters gathered in and around Bryant Park, shoes

3191
01:49:21,260 --> 01:49:24,260
sloshing through puddles on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

3192
01:49:24,540 --> 01:49:27,720
This hands-off protest is one of several

3193
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:30,140
happening throughout New York City and in all

3194
01:49:30,140 --> 01:49:32,260
50 states, according to organizers.

3195
01:49:32,620 --> 01:49:34,580
This is not about efficiency.

3196
01:49:35,140 --> 01:49:37,360
This is about control and power.

3197
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:40,760
And the destruction of the United States.

3198
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:42,880
People showed up to stand up against some

3199
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:45,640
of the Trump administration's latest moves, like the

3200
01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:49,840
implementation of tariffs, immigration operations, and reducing the

3201
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:52,960
size of some federal agencies while eliminating others

3202
01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:53,720
altogether.

3203
01:49:54,220 --> 01:49:56,180
Aileen Chen is a federal worker with the

3204
01:49:56,180 --> 01:49:58,120
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

3205
01:49:58,580 --> 01:50:01,400
A federal judge recently blocked the Trump administration's

3206
01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:02,780
attempt to dismantle it.

3207
01:50:02,780 --> 01:50:05,260
They tried to shut down our entire agency,

3208
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:09,320
and many, many, many of my coworkers were

3209
01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:09,720
fired.

3210
01:50:10,180 --> 01:50:14,320
But because we've all come together through our

3211
01:50:14,320 --> 01:50:17,380
really strong union, we were actually able to

3212
01:50:17,380 --> 01:50:19,220
get every single person reinstated.

3213
01:50:19,460 --> 01:50:22,060
Others say they're concerned about Elon Musk, who

3214
01:50:22,060 --> 01:50:24,740
has pushed policies to reduce federal spending in

3215
01:50:24,740 --> 01:50:26,380
his role as the head of the Department

3216
01:50:26,380 --> 01:50:27,440
of Government Efficiency.

3217
01:50:27,820 --> 01:50:30,600
The administration has said Doge's purpose is to

3218
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:33,320
rid the government of waste, fraud, and abuse.

3219
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:35,840
Musk has spoken about his role in trying

3220
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:39,560
to dismantle USAID, which offers humanitarian aid to

3221
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:40,220
countries.

3222
01:50:40,720 --> 01:50:42,040
This is no longer a democracy.

3223
01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:44,940
This is a total abuse of our freedom.

3224
01:50:45,540 --> 01:50:46,600
That's number one.

3225
01:50:47,340 --> 01:50:48,900
I could go on for a long time,

3226
01:50:49,100 --> 01:50:53,560
but cutting USAID, for me, has been the

3227
01:50:53,560 --> 01:50:56,180
most disgusting thing that this government has done.

3228
01:50:56,380 --> 01:50:57,440
This is so disgusting.

3229
01:50:58,220 --> 01:51:01,380
So I went to Hands Off 2025, and

3230
01:51:01,380 --> 01:51:05,320
that is a website, they say it right

3231
01:51:05,320 --> 01:51:10,460
there, of indivisibleindivisible.org, and you go to

3232
01:51:10,460 --> 01:51:13,700
join the movement, the donate part.

3233
01:51:15,060 --> 01:51:16,920
Indivisible is a movement of thousands of local

3234
01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:19,260
groups and millions of activists committed to defeating

3235
01:51:19,260 --> 01:51:23,260
mega-extremism, advancing progressive policies, and building a

3236
01:51:23,260 --> 01:51:24,760
democracy that works for us all.

3237
01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:26,840
Our movement is powered by people.

3238
01:51:27,820 --> 01:51:30,320
We do not accept funding from corporations, political

3239
01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:31,560
parties, or their leaders.

3240
01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:36,140
No, you're taking money for political parties, because

3241
01:51:36,140 --> 01:51:37,900
it says right there, ActBlue.

3242
01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:44,100
And ActBlue is the merchant of record for

3243
01:51:44,100 --> 01:51:45,880
ActBlue Civics, Inc.

3244
01:51:46,140 --> 01:51:46,900
Come on.

3245
01:51:47,740 --> 01:51:50,560
Which is a 501c4, which they call a

3246
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:52,860
social welfare organization, but I think that means

3247
01:51:52,860 --> 01:51:54,620
you can lobby.

3248
01:51:55,820 --> 01:51:57,960
So it's politics as usual.

3249
01:52:00,980 --> 01:52:03,140
They create a lot of front groups, those

3250
01:52:03,140 --> 01:52:04,700
guys, but the left has always done this.

3251
01:52:04,700 --> 01:52:06,800
It's the old communist idea.

3252
01:52:07,020 --> 01:52:08,460
You just have a long tail.

3253
01:52:09,120 --> 01:52:10,660
A long tail of front groups.

3254
01:52:11,080 --> 01:52:14,020
One of your clips talked about the Department

3255
01:52:14,020 --> 01:52:14,720
of Education.

3256
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:16,620
I think you received this clip as well,

3257
01:52:16,700 --> 01:52:18,140
but I thought it would be interesting enough

3258
01:52:18,140 --> 01:52:18,720
to play it.

3259
01:52:18,800 --> 01:52:19,900
One of our producers sent it.

3260
01:52:19,900 --> 01:52:21,200
This is 1980.

3261
01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:25,120
Ronald Reagan talking about the Department of Education,

3262
01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:26,320
that he wanted to get rid of it.

3263
01:52:26,460 --> 01:52:28,220
But tell me what you find the most

3264
01:52:28,220 --> 01:52:30,160
interesting in this from 1980.

3265
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:34,140
I propose and would have already started, if

3266
01:52:34,140 --> 01:52:37,740
your hypothesis is correct, a planned and orderly

3267
01:52:37,740 --> 01:52:40,180
transfer back to the states and local communities

3268
01:52:40,180 --> 01:52:43,740
of functions the federal government has usurped and

3269
01:52:43,740 --> 01:52:45,440
which it has proven it is incapable of

3270
01:52:45,440 --> 01:52:45,800
operating.

3271
01:52:46,440 --> 01:52:48,220
And one of the first of those would

3272
01:52:48,220 --> 01:52:48,700
be welfare.

3273
01:52:48,700 --> 01:52:51,460
One of the second would be in the

3274
01:52:51,460 --> 01:52:52,320
field of education.

3275
01:52:53,020 --> 01:52:55,080
I would like to dissolve the $10 billion

3276
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:58,320
National Department of Education created by President Carter

3277
01:52:59,040 --> 01:53:01,480
and turn schools back to the local school

3278
01:53:01,480 --> 01:53:04,200
districts where we built the greatest public school

3279
01:53:04,200 --> 01:53:05,520
system the world has ever seen.

3280
01:53:06,640 --> 01:53:08,120
I think I can make a case that

3281
01:53:08,120 --> 01:53:10,180
the decline in the quality of public education

3282
01:53:10,180 --> 01:53:13,540
began when federal aid became federal interference.

3283
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:16,260
Now, what was remarkable about this?

3284
01:53:17,100 --> 01:53:19,840
I like the phrase federal aid became federal

3285
01:53:19,840 --> 01:53:20,440
interference.

3286
01:53:21,600 --> 01:53:22,960
It was a $10 billion.

3287
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:25,600
Oh, yeah, it was $10 billion and now

3288
01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:27,800
it's like $250 or whatever.

3289
01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:28,300
$250 billion.

3290
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:28,980
Yes.

3291
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:30,180
I know.

3292
01:53:30,360 --> 01:53:33,200
I mean, there's inflation, but inflation should be

3293
01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:34,240
like $100 billion.

3294
01:53:35,060 --> 01:53:38,000
Inflation would be, but that was from about

3295
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:40,820
85 or 84 when he gave that speech.

3296
01:53:41,300 --> 01:53:43,280
And inflation is not a 10x from there.

3297
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:45,260
It would be 10x from 1970s.

3298
01:53:45,260 --> 01:53:48,000
So it would probably be more like $80

3299
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:50,000
or $70 billion.

3300
01:53:50,440 --> 01:53:51,600
Instead, it's way up there.

3301
01:53:52,420 --> 01:53:53,240
Yeah, it's a scam.

3302
01:53:53,780 --> 01:53:55,140
And with that, I'd like to thank you

3303
01:53:55,140 --> 01:53:55,740
for your courage.

3304
01:53:55,820 --> 01:53:57,280
Say in the morning to you, the man

3305
01:53:57,280 --> 01:53:59,340
who put the sea in the cheap junk

3306
01:53:59,340 --> 01:53:59,980
from China.

3307
01:54:00,180 --> 01:54:01,320
Say hello to my friend on the other

3308
01:54:01,320 --> 01:54:03,680
end, the birthday boy.

3309
01:54:04,060 --> 01:54:05,860
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John C.

3310
01:54:06,020 --> 01:54:06,260
DeVore.

3311
01:54:09,280 --> 01:54:10,900
Yeah, well, good morning to you, Mr. Adam

3312
01:54:10,900 --> 01:54:12,420
Crane, the owner of the ship Seaboots Underground,

3313
01:54:12,560 --> 01:54:13,620
feeding the air, subs, and the water, and

3314
01:54:13,620 --> 01:54:14,540
the dames and knights out there.

3315
01:54:14,540 --> 01:54:15,540
Hello, dames and knights.

3316
01:54:15,700 --> 01:54:16,240
Hello, trolls.

3317
01:54:16,440 --> 01:54:17,020
How do you do?

3318
01:54:17,120 --> 01:54:19,840
Let's get a little time to check there.

3319
01:54:20,260 --> 01:54:20,800
All right.

3320
01:54:23,940 --> 01:54:24,740
2,405.

3321
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:27,280
A little above average.

3322
01:54:28,840 --> 01:54:29,640
Around average.

3323
01:54:30,760 --> 01:54:31,660
It's kind of good.

3324
01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:33,140
I'd say it was average.

3325
01:54:33,340 --> 01:54:34,140
It's a lot of trolls.

3326
01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:36,600
I mean, what other show has a live

3327
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:37,260
troll room?

3328
01:54:38,280 --> 01:54:40,020
That really, I mean, we don't have video.

3329
01:54:40,380 --> 01:54:41,960
We got trolls, and they're in the troll

3330
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:43,940
room, and you can say whatever you want.

3331
01:54:43,940 --> 01:54:44,660
And people do.

3332
01:54:45,760 --> 01:54:46,780
Yeah, and then you can kick them off.

3333
01:54:47,400 --> 01:54:48,920
Like the ogre you are.

3334
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:50,460
I have not done that in a while.

3335
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:52,020
Should I just pick somebody and just kick

3336
01:54:52,020 --> 01:54:52,360
them off?

3337
01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:53,020
Yeah.

3338
01:54:54,520 --> 01:54:55,680
Who should I kick off?

3339
01:54:55,740 --> 01:54:57,200
Let me see if someone says something.

3340
01:54:58,280 --> 01:54:59,120
Come on, somebody.

3341
01:54:59,220 --> 01:55:00,540
Say something to make him mad.

3342
01:55:01,260 --> 01:55:02,780
Say something about his hair.

3343
01:55:03,260 --> 01:55:03,720
That'll do it.

3344
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:05,720
Nobody.

3345
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:06,960
No one's saying anything.

3346
01:55:07,120 --> 01:55:07,400
They don't.

3347
01:55:07,780 --> 01:55:08,780
They're so lame.

3348
01:55:09,340 --> 01:55:09,800
Kick me.

3349
01:55:10,380 --> 01:55:11,180
It's no good.

3350
01:55:11,780 --> 01:55:12,220
Lame.

3351
01:55:12,360 --> 01:55:12,760
Lame.

3352
01:55:12,760 --> 01:55:14,640
Should have been much faster on the draw.

3353
01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:16,920
Those trolls are in the troll room at

3354
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:19,680
trollroom.io. You can also participate in the

3355
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:22,220
live streaming experience, which is the future.

3356
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:23,780
It's the future.

3357
01:55:24,360 --> 01:55:25,620
And more and more people are doing it,

3358
01:55:25,660 --> 01:55:27,800
particularly with this live aspect to it, and

3359
01:55:27,800 --> 01:55:29,160
we've made it work for podcasts.

3360
01:55:29,600 --> 01:55:32,120
You can go to podcastapps.com, get a

3361
01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:33,240
modern podcast app.

3362
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:38,420
I think Podverse, Podcast Guru, Fountain, a whole

3363
01:55:38,420 --> 01:55:38,940
bunch of them.

3364
01:55:39,220 --> 01:55:41,180
And they have extra features, features you won't

3365
01:55:41,180 --> 01:55:42,940
get from Apple or from any of the

3366
01:55:42,940 --> 01:55:43,680
legacy apps.

3367
01:55:44,040 --> 01:55:45,960
And, of course, you get a notification when

3368
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:46,520
we go live.

3369
01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:48,800
And also, within 90 seconds of publishing a

3370
01:55:48,800 --> 01:55:50,560
show, you know about it, so you don't

3371
01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:52,500
have to sit around and wait, twiddling your

3372
01:55:52,500 --> 01:55:53,040
thumbs.

3373
01:55:54,180 --> 01:55:56,380
And thank you for being a part of

3374
01:55:56,380 --> 01:55:59,920
our grand experiment in our 18th year, running

3375
01:55:59,920 --> 01:56:01,760
it value for value continuously.

3376
01:56:02,100 --> 01:56:05,600
We have all kinds of great producers who

3377
01:56:05,600 --> 01:56:08,840
help us with time, talent, or treasure.

3378
01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:11,140
And we're going to thank our executive and

3379
01:56:11,140 --> 01:56:12,260
associate executive producers.

3380
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:13,960
We thank everybody who donated to the show

3381
01:56:13,960 --> 01:56:16,660
in the treasure with over $50.

3382
01:56:17,040 --> 01:56:19,120
But we also like to thank people who

3383
01:56:19,120 --> 01:56:20,020
do stuff for us.

3384
01:56:20,040 --> 01:56:21,700
For instance, making art.

3385
01:56:22,480 --> 01:56:26,080
And we want to thank Scaramanga, Francisco Scaramanga,

3386
01:56:26,180 --> 01:56:28,380
who made – I mean, I got comments

3387
01:56:28,380 --> 01:56:29,000
on this one.

3388
01:56:29,080 --> 01:56:32,400
The episode was last – on Thursday, 1752,

3389
01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:34,300
we titled it Pal-Mel, trying to bring

3390
01:56:34,300 --> 01:56:35,140
that phrase back.

3391
01:56:36,140 --> 01:56:39,300
And this was a very disturbing piece of

3392
01:56:39,300 --> 01:56:39,520
art.

3393
01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:43,180
People actually got disturbed by it.

3394
01:56:43,540 --> 01:56:45,420
I think Darren O'Neill said, I can't

3395
01:56:45,420 --> 01:56:48,100
even recommend listening to this episode because this

3396
01:56:48,100 --> 01:56:49,100
art is so disturbing.

3397
01:56:49,440 --> 01:56:51,640
This was the gay dog, or at least

3398
01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:54,240
the dog with the rainbow shirt.

3399
01:56:54,940 --> 01:56:57,020
And the more I look at it, the

3400
01:56:57,020 --> 01:56:57,760
more I agree.

3401
01:56:58,300 --> 01:57:00,840
It borders on gruesome.

3402
01:57:02,340 --> 01:57:04,920
I don't get the gruesome part.

3403
01:57:05,180 --> 01:57:06,220
It's creepy.

3404
01:57:06,840 --> 01:57:07,480
It's creepy.

3405
01:57:07,580 --> 01:57:09,000
There's no doubt about that because the legs

3406
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:10,560
of the dog are – the front legs

3407
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:12,300
are too long, and the dog's standing there

3408
01:57:12,300 --> 01:57:14,420
with a rainbow shirt.

3409
01:57:14,500 --> 01:57:16,000
And then there was the quarter, which is

3410
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:18,120
the kicker that I thought made it worthwhile.

3411
01:57:19,500 --> 01:57:19,940
Yes.

3412
01:57:20,180 --> 01:57:22,480
That was very subtle.

3413
01:57:23,340 --> 01:57:23,880
Very subtle.

3414
01:57:24,300 --> 01:57:25,640
I don't know if anyone got that, but

3415
01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:26,800
we thought it was – you thought it

3416
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:27,080
was great.

3417
01:57:27,080 --> 01:57:29,420
There was comments at the big meet-up

3418
01:57:29,420 --> 01:57:31,900
in Oakland about this art.

3419
01:57:32,540 --> 01:57:33,060
Same thing.

3420
01:57:33,220 --> 01:57:34,480
They thought it was – they're trying to

3421
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:37,540
– Steve, in fact, Crazy Steve, the guy

3422
01:57:37,540 --> 01:57:38,400
who does all these things.

3423
01:57:38,420 --> 01:57:38,960
Crazy Steve?

3424
01:57:39,060 --> 01:57:39,940
Who's Crazy Steve?

3425
01:57:40,100 --> 01:57:42,020
Crazy Steve's the guy who organizes all these

3426
01:57:42,020 --> 01:57:42,520
meet-ups.

3427
01:57:42,740 --> 01:57:43,780
Oh, you Crazy Steve.

3428
01:57:43,860 --> 01:57:45,340
Is that the guy who says he had

3429
01:57:45,340 --> 01:57:45,820
my hair?

3430
01:57:45,980 --> 01:57:46,800
Is that Crazy Steve?

3431
01:57:47,760 --> 01:57:48,420
No, no.

3432
01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:49,880
That guy wasn't even at this meet-up.

3433
01:57:49,980 --> 01:57:50,580
Oh, okay.

3434
01:57:50,860 --> 01:57:52,300
No, Crazy Steve's the organizer.

3435
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:53,480
You know who it is.

3436
01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:55,280
I didn't know who Crazy Steve was.

3437
01:57:55,280 --> 01:57:56,880
He wants to go down and organize one

3438
01:57:56,880 --> 01:57:58,640
down by – in Fredericksburg.

3439
01:57:58,720 --> 01:58:00,020
He says, I'm going to do one in

3440
01:58:00,020 --> 01:58:00,780
Fredericksburg.

3441
01:58:00,900 --> 01:58:01,580
I'll show up.

3442
01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:02,780
I'll show up.

3443
01:58:02,900 --> 01:58:04,540
He says, I can understand why Adam didn't

3444
01:58:04,540 --> 01:58:05,600
show up to the other one where it's

3445
01:58:05,600 --> 01:58:06,500
a two-hour drive.

3446
01:58:06,580 --> 01:58:06,900
He's not going to do it.

3447
01:58:06,900 --> 01:58:07,440
No, I'm not going to do that.

3448
01:58:07,520 --> 01:58:07,700
No.

3449
01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:10,260
And I said, yeah, if you could put

3450
01:58:10,260 --> 01:58:12,180
one in Fredericksburg, just check to make sure

3451
01:58:12,180 --> 01:58:13,320
it's not in Europe.

3452
01:58:13,480 --> 01:58:14,160
Yes, please.

3453
01:58:14,360 --> 01:58:15,080
Yeah, let me know.

3454
01:58:15,220 --> 01:58:16,080
I mean, organizing.

3455
01:58:16,220 --> 01:58:16,920
Yeah, you can do it.

3456
01:58:16,980 --> 01:58:18,260
He'll be glad to show up.

3457
01:58:18,280 --> 01:58:19,080
Of course I'll go.

3458
01:58:19,180 --> 01:58:19,480
Of course.

3459
01:58:19,620 --> 01:58:20,800
Go ahead, Crazy Steve.

3460
01:58:21,460 --> 01:58:25,700
And so Steve was querying me about the

3461
01:58:25,700 --> 01:58:27,240
artwork, thinking it was – what is this?

3462
01:58:27,360 --> 01:58:27,620
Why?

3463
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:28,300
What is this?

3464
01:58:28,300 --> 01:58:29,700
Well, do you think that – because you

3465
01:58:29,700 --> 01:58:31,240
kind of have a rule that, you know,

3466
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:34,480
creepy or gruesome artwork, if it's bad for

3467
01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:36,120
the show, and I think that this –

3468
01:58:36,120 --> 01:58:36,960
Yeah, because of association.

3469
01:58:37,340 --> 01:58:38,800
I don't like the association.

3470
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:40,880
So you see No Agenda, and then there's

3471
01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:42,520
some gruesome picture, and then you say, ooh,

3472
01:58:42,720 --> 01:58:43,620
No Agenda's bad.

3473
01:58:43,700 --> 01:58:45,300
But I literally had people saying they didn't

3474
01:58:45,300 --> 01:58:47,080
even want to listen to the episode because

3475
01:58:47,080 --> 01:58:47,540
of the art.

3476
01:58:47,580 --> 01:58:49,240
That reflects poorly on the show.

3477
01:58:49,740 --> 01:58:52,160
Well, that was – we made an error

3478
01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:52,540
then.

3479
01:58:53,620 --> 01:58:55,000
But I don't see it.

3480
01:58:55,100 --> 01:58:56,580
I think it's a funny piece.

3481
01:58:56,680 --> 01:58:59,400
You got a stupid dog wearing an outfit,

3482
01:58:59,860 --> 01:59:02,680
and he's standing there with his tongue hanging

3483
01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:05,040
out, and there's a quarter, and the whole

3484
01:59:05,040 --> 01:59:05,960
thing was dynamite.

3485
01:59:05,980 --> 01:59:07,060
It was a great piece.

3486
01:59:07,280 --> 01:59:07,580
Yes.

3487
01:59:08,060 --> 01:59:09,200
I thought it was good.

3488
01:59:09,280 --> 01:59:09,820
I liked it.

3489
01:59:10,440 --> 01:59:10,560
Yeah.

3490
01:59:10,560 --> 01:59:10,960
I liked it.

3491
01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:14,880
And the quarter is referenced to, you know,

3492
01:59:14,960 --> 01:59:17,400
the dog drives – You said that.

3493
01:59:17,400 --> 01:59:18,560
Someone's got to pick up the quarter.

3494
01:59:18,560 --> 01:59:19,980
It's like picking up soap, you know.

3495
01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:21,880
It's a running gay joke.

3496
01:59:23,560 --> 01:59:25,240
Prison gay joke, actually.

3497
01:59:25,420 --> 01:59:26,340
Prison gay joke.

3498
01:59:27,880 --> 01:59:29,060
Thank you, Scaramanga.

3499
01:59:29,620 --> 01:59:32,340
We were also just pleased that Scaramanga did

3500
01:59:32,340 --> 01:59:33,520
something that wasn't boobs.

3501
01:59:33,980 --> 01:59:35,520
That was kind of – that was interesting.

3502
01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:38,720
So at the meetup, we had a –

3503
01:59:38,720 --> 01:59:40,500
I think it was Sir Montauk, the guy

3504
01:59:40,500 --> 01:59:42,740
who's – I always call him the sticker

3505
01:59:42,740 --> 01:59:43,000
guy.

3506
01:59:43,020 --> 01:59:45,220
He always brings a set of new stickers

3507
01:59:45,220 --> 01:59:46,960
to the meetups.

3508
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:48,560
And all the stickers, they're just little No

3509
01:59:48,560 --> 01:59:49,180
Agenda stickers.

3510
01:59:49,520 --> 01:59:51,380
He did a giant poster.

3511
01:59:51,900 --> 01:59:52,060
Oh?

3512
01:59:52,820 --> 01:59:55,620
About, I think, I'd say three feet by

3513
01:59:55,620 --> 01:59:58,780
two foot poster of very small versions.

3514
01:59:58,940 --> 02:00:01,540
Every artwork says show one or something.

3515
02:00:01,580 --> 02:00:02,800
Oh, that's cool.

3516
02:00:03,420 --> 02:00:05,700
The whole thing is just a giant, you

3517
02:00:05,700 --> 02:00:07,380
know, bunch of – He should talk to

3518
02:00:07,380 --> 02:00:08,720
NoAgendaShop.com.

3519
02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:11,400
Get those guys to sell a poster or

3520
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:11,500
something.

3521
02:00:11,500 --> 02:00:12,820
Yeah, one thing, and he should send you

3522
02:00:12,820 --> 02:00:14,900
a copy because he framed mine because he

3523
02:00:14,900 --> 02:00:16,780
figured if it's rolled up art, it would

3524
02:00:16,780 --> 02:00:18,600
just end up in my attic, which is

3525
02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:21,900
where he nailed it.

3526
02:00:22,220 --> 02:00:24,300
Next to many other items of interest.

3527
02:00:25,060 --> 02:00:25,680
Yes, yeah.

3528
02:00:25,880 --> 02:00:26,300
Phoebe.

3529
02:00:26,740 --> 02:00:29,580
And so he framed it, and you could

3530
02:00:29,580 --> 02:00:31,540
– he could send you a rolled up

3531
02:00:31,540 --> 02:00:34,500
one because I'm pretty sure that you would

3532
02:00:34,500 --> 02:00:36,920
frame it and put it on the Wall

3533
02:00:36,920 --> 02:00:38,360
of – the Hall of Fame.

3534
02:00:38,480 --> 02:00:40,100
Yes, I have a wall in the garage.

3535
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:41,560
I have in my entire – It was

3536
02:00:41,560 --> 02:00:41,940
in the garage.

3537
02:00:42,120 --> 02:00:42,900
You were taking pictures.

3538
02:00:42,900 --> 02:00:43,860
I think it was in the garage.

3539
02:00:44,180 --> 02:00:45,520
Yes, no, I moved the Wall of Fame

3540
02:00:45,520 --> 02:00:46,260
to the garage.

3541
02:00:47,140 --> 02:00:50,180
We have an oversized garage because the guy

3542
02:00:50,180 --> 02:00:52,840
who we bought the house from, he's a

3543
02:00:52,840 --> 02:00:56,020
retailer, and he had, like, ATM machines and

3544
02:00:56,020 --> 02:00:58,100
all kinds of – just all kinds of

3545
02:00:58,100 --> 02:00:59,520
gear, so it's – No, I used the

3546
02:00:59,520 --> 02:01:00,440
garage as storage.

3547
02:01:01,140 --> 02:01:03,500
No, well, we have very – no, our

3548
02:01:03,500 --> 02:01:04,860
garage is very clean.

3549
02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:06,960
Have you met my wife?

3550
02:01:07,040 --> 02:01:08,740
It's very clean, very organized.

3551
02:01:08,760 --> 02:01:09,320
I met you.

3552
02:01:09,540 --> 02:01:10,100
Same thing.

3553
02:01:10,100 --> 02:01:13,500
It's not storage, but I did make one

3554
02:01:13,500 --> 02:01:15,060
wall just like, you know, like the old

3555
02:01:15,060 --> 02:01:16,160
– No, I'm talking about the guy, original

3556
02:01:16,160 --> 02:01:18,100
guy, putting ATM machines there.

3557
02:01:18,160 --> 02:01:19,200
He's using it as storage.

3558
02:01:19,440 --> 02:01:20,500
Oh, yes, he was.

3559
02:01:20,640 --> 02:01:22,460
Yeah, storage, and he had, you know, like

3560
02:01:22,460 --> 02:01:25,360
a golf cart in there and other gear.

3561
02:01:25,480 --> 02:01:27,280
So it's really a three-and-a-half

3562
02:01:27,280 --> 02:01:28,480
-car garage, I guess.

3563
02:01:29,340 --> 02:01:30,900
So we don't have three cars.

3564
02:01:31,160 --> 02:01:32,940
It is ready for the flying car, though.

3565
02:01:34,100 --> 02:01:35,940
When that comes, I can park it in

3566
02:01:35,940 --> 02:01:36,280
my garage.

3567
02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:39,740
Anyway, yes, I will hang that on my

3568
02:01:39,740 --> 02:01:41,320
– I will frame it and hang it

3569
02:01:41,320 --> 02:01:41,820
on my wall.

3570
02:01:41,900 --> 02:01:42,460
I'd love to.

3571
02:01:43,760 --> 02:01:44,900
Other pieces of art.

3572
02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:47,000
You know, the – so Scaramanga also did

3573
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:48,140
the Podfather Awards.

3574
02:01:48,200 --> 02:01:49,100
You probably saw that.

3575
02:01:49,180 --> 02:01:51,460
He's been trying – he's been doing videos

3576
02:01:51,460 --> 02:01:52,220
of you and me.

3577
02:01:52,500 --> 02:01:54,560
I look disturbingly – so you look like

3578
02:01:54,560 --> 02:01:58,020
you, but I look a bit like –

3579
02:01:58,020 --> 02:01:59,120
who's the actor?

3580
02:01:59,760 --> 02:02:03,920
Ed Begley, Jr. I don't know if I

3581
02:02:03,920 --> 02:02:04,060
like it.

3582
02:02:04,060 --> 02:02:05,000
Well, that's not a good look.

3583
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:07,920
No, and thank you very much to Daniel

3584
02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:08,300
J.

3585
02:02:08,440 --> 02:02:08,560
Lewis.

3586
02:02:09,560 --> 02:02:10,220
Daniel J.

3587
02:02:10,320 --> 02:02:10,440
Lewis.

3588
02:02:10,580 --> 02:02:11,860
A lot of people like this idea.

3589
02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:12,860
I'm just going to say it again.

3590
02:02:13,120 --> 02:02:14,200
I knew that you were going to work

3591
02:02:14,200 --> 02:02:15,360
on it, and I know it was –

3592
02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:16,600
you only had a couple days, but I'm

3593
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:17,880
sure you'll be working very hard on the

3594
02:02:17,880 --> 02:02:19,220
Podfather Awards this week.

3595
02:02:19,760 --> 02:02:21,500
He was – I can't believe we didn't

3596
02:02:21,500 --> 02:02:21,820
do this.

3597
02:02:22,280 --> 02:02:24,880
He got the domain name for us, PodfatherAwards

3598
02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:25,480
.com.

3599
02:02:25,560 --> 02:02:25,780
Hello.

3600
02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:28,600
How stupid am I that I didn't register

3601
02:02:28,600 --> 02:02:29,400
that right away?

3602
02:02:30,560 --> 02:02:31,360
Very funny.

3603
02:02:31,800 --> 02:02:32,020
Yeah.

3604
02:02:32,020 --> 02:02:32,460
The classic.

3605
02:02:33,400 --> 02:02:33,620
Phoebe.

3606
02:02:33,620 --> 02:02:33,760
Phoebe.

3607
02:02:33,880 --> 02:02:34,500
She's mad.

3608
02:02:35,120 --> 02:02:37,100
She's mad that you didn't get the thing,

3609
02:02:37,220 --> 02:02:39,140
and you're humiliating yourself on the air.

3610
02:02:39,240 --> 02:02:41,800
No, she's mad about the microphone company.

3611
02:02:42,260 --> 02:02:43,000
That's what she's mad about.

3612
02:02:43,120 --> 02:02:44,120
I can tell – it's all right, Phoebe.

3613
02:02:44,260 --> 02:02:44,900
You'll get your microphone.

3614
02:02:45,220 --> 02:02:46,540
Well, you know, it's a tariff situation.

3615
02:02:46,640 --> 02:02:48,160
We had to see how that shook out.

3616
02:02:49,560 --> 02:02:50,280
Well, true.

3617
02:02:50,520 --> 02:02:52,120
The tariffs could be a big problem.

3618
02:02:52,500 --> 02:02:54,060
I'm glad we didn't start that company.

3619
02:02:54,320 --> 02:02:55,140
We'd be broke.

3620
02:02:57,740 --> 02:02:58,200
Maybe not.

3621
02:02:58,680 --> 02:02:59,440
Now it's time.

3622
02:02:59,440 --> 02:03:02,020
Was there anything else that we like?

3623
02:03:02,080 --> 02:03:03,460
There's a lot of toilet art.

3624
02:03:04,940 --> 02:03:06,520
Yeah, the talking toilets.

3625
02:03:07,080 --> 02:03:09,180
There was – really, you know, that little

3626
02:03:09,180 --> 02:03:10,800
dog stood out, I thought.

3627
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:11,320
That did it, yeah.

3628
02:03:11,760 --> 02:03:13,220
There were a couple other gay dogs.

3629
02:03:13,220 --> 02:03:14,460
A lot of gay dogs.

3630
02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:15,500
A lot of gay dogs.

3631
02:03:18,640 --> 02:03:20,560
There's a couple of dogs walking down the

3632
02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:23,060
aisle at Dropko's male dog wedding.

3633
02:03:23,480 --> 02:03:24,400
Yeah, yeah.

3634
02:03:24,880 --> 02:03:26,160
A lot of gay dogs.

3635
02:03:26,220 --> 02:03:27,320
Stop with the gay dogs.

3636
02:03:27,320 --> 02:03:30,040
The gummy bear Jesus.

3637
02:03:30,160 --> 02:03:32,180
We both thought that was a little sacrilegious

3638
02:03:32,180 --> 02:03:32,680
in a way.

3639
02:03:33,420 --> 02:03:34,400
Yeah, it was little.

3640
02:03:35,400 --> 02:03:38,060
Well, the one that – yes, it was

3641
02:03:38,060 --> 02:03:39,500
a little over the top.

3642
02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:41,600
But you know what?

3643
02:03:42,120 --> 02:03:45,440
A lot of these make it into –

3644
02:03:45,440 --> 02:03:46,960
are those the Geiger counters you have?

3645
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:50,140
The one that digital 2112 man made?

3646
02:03:51,380 --> 02:03:53,040
You see that one, the Geiger counter?

3647
02:03:54,040 --> 02:03:56,200
Is that the kind of Geiger next to

3648
02:03:56,200 --> 02:03:57,700
the boomer humor fart cushion?

3649
02:03:59,420 --> 02:04:00,300
No, not at all.

3650
02:04:00,380 --> 02:04:01,200
It's nothing like that.

3651
02:04:01,300 --> 02:04:02,300
That kind of looks – if they were

3652
02:04:02,300 --> 02:04:03,320
like that, I'd get one.

3653
02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:04,140
That looks pretty cool.

3654
02:04:04,240 --> 02:04:06,280
No, the ones that I have are better

3655
02:04:06,280 --> 02:04:06,620
looking.

3656
02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:10,720
So anyway, thank you all very much.

3657
02:04:10,760 --> 02:04:12,000
A lot of these pieces show up in

3658
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:13,600
our chapter art, which you can enjoy on

3659
02:04:13,600 --> 02:04:14,660
the Modern Podcast apps.

3660
02:04:14,720 --> 02:04:16,020
If you use it in your car, it'll

3661
02:04:16,020 --> 02:04:17,720
even change while you're driving.

3662
02:04:18,780 --> 02:04:20,100
Yeah, so you can get into a wreck.

3663
02:04:20,160 --> 02:04:21,760
No, you're not going to get into a

3664
02:04:21,760 --> 02:04:21,940
wreck.

3665
02:04:21,940 --> 02:04:26,040
It's entertainment for the entire population of your

3666
02:04:26,040 --> 02:04:26,420
vehicle.

3667
02:04:27,580 --> 02:04:28,620
Noagendaartgenerator.com.

3668
02:04:28,680 --> 02:04:29,660
Everybody can participate.

3669
02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:30,960
It's what makes it so good.

3670
02:04:32,180 --> 02:04:34,940
Anybody can jump in.

3671
02:04:35,280 --> 02:04:37,600
And it's good to see the artists working

3672
02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:37,940
hard.

3673
02:04:38,420 --> 02:04:38,960
Some AI.

3674
02:04:39,520 --> 02:04:42,480
Some use AI in the appropriate manner, according

3675
02:04:42,480 --> 02:04:44,820
to Buzzkill Jr., which is as a tool.

3676
02:04:45,900 --> 02:04:48,160
Because you really need talent to be able

3677
02:04:48,160 --> 02:04:49,960
to make something, no matter what tools you

3678
02:04:49,960 --> 02:04:50,280
use.

3679
02:04:50,820 --> 02:04:53,400
You know, Buzzkill Jr. was at the event.

3680
02:04:54,200 --> 02:04:56,320
And he got into a discussion about AI

3681
02:04:56,320 --> 02:04:58,480
because he's doing work for banks.

3682
02:05:00,160 --> 02:05:03,020
And they just brought up the topic of

3683
02:05:03,020 --> 02:05:05,060
– my eyes are glazing over.

3684
02:05:05,280 --> 02:05:07,160
But they brought up the topic of trying

3685
02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:09,700
to do some of the same stuff in

3686
02:05:09,700 --> 02:05:10,080
Europe.

3687
02:05:11,420 --> 02:05:13,360
And he goes on and on and on

3688
02:05:13,360 --> 02:05:15,380
and on and on about how, well, you've

3689
02:05:15,380 --> 02:05:16,520
got to register this.

3690
02:05:16,580 --> 02:05:17,640
And if you do this, you've got to

3691
02:05:17,640 --> 02:05:18,140
do that.

3692
02:05:18,140 --> 02:05:21,720
And then you've got to be licensed and

3693
02:05:21,720 --> 02:05:22,580
do for anything.

3694
02:05:23,140 --> 02:05:25,640
So all the hoops you've got to jump

3695
02:05:25,640 --> 02:05:27,500
through to do the same work in Europe,

3696
02:05:28,160 --> 02:05:30,760
which is just to look for bank fraud.

3697
02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:34,020
He says it's not worth even doing any

3698
02:05:34,020 --> 02:05:34,580
work in Europe.

3699
02:05:34,660 --> 02:05:36,440
He says it's just not worth the trouble

3700
02:05:36,440 --> 02:05:38,140
because it's just too many regulations.

3701
02:05:39,520 --> 02:05:41,520
And it brought to mind – yeah.

3702
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:43,500
And they're going to compete with us in

3703
02:05:43,500 --> 02:05:45,080
social networking or anything else.

3704
02:05:45,080 --> 02:05:45,820
They can't do it.

3705
02:05:46,020 --> 02:05:47,440
They can't get anything done.

3706
02:05:47,440 --> 02:05:48,740
No, they can't.

3707
02:05:48,740 --> 02:05:50,640
The Europeans are screwed up.

3708
02:05:51,040 --> 02:05:53,400
Well, they're trying to be protectionists.

3709
02:05:53,540 --> 02:05:56,500
And it's going to retard their economy, if

3710
02:05:56,500 --> 02:05:57,360
I can put it that way.

3711
02:05:57,500 --> 02:05:58,920
It will retard their economy.

3712
02:06:00,540 --> 02:06:02,160
So as I said, we thank everybody, $50

3713
02:06:02,160 --> 02:06:02,700
and above.

3714
02:06:02,780 --> 02:06:04,360
We'd like to break here for the executive

3715
02:06:04,360 --> 02:06:07,660
and associate executive producers who come in with

3716
02:06:07,660 --> 02:06:08,740
$200 or above.

3717
02:06:08,820 --> 02:06:10,060
You're an associate executive producer.

3718
02:06:10,160 --> 02:06:11,280
You get a credit for the rest of

3719
02:06:11,280 --> 02:06:14,080
your life as associate executive producer of episode

3720
02:06:14,080 --> 02:06:18,080
1753 of the award-winning and best podcast

3721
02:06:18,080 --> 02:06:18,560
in the universe.

3722
02:06:18,560 --> 02:06:19,400
No Agenda show.

3723
02:06:19,720 --> 02:06:20,700
You can use it anywhere.

3724
02:06:21,060 --> 02:06:22,320
Hollywood credits are accepted.

3725
02:06:23,100 --> 02:06:24,880
If you're a member of a guild, you

3726
02:06:24,880 --> 02:06:26,080
can say, here it is.

3727
02:06:26,340 --> 02:06:27,680
I got another credit.

3728
02:06:27,820 --> 02:06:29,820
Or imdb.com, which is almost as good

3729
02:06:29,820 --> 02:06:30,900
as being a member of the guild.

3730
02:06:31,840 --> 02:06:33,080
$300 and above.

3731
02:06:33,240 --> 02:06:34,300
We will read your note.

3732
02:06:34,400 --> 02:06:36,720
And you get the title of executive producer.

3733
02:06:36,860 --> 02:06:39,600
And we'll start it off with Ronald Lafferty,

3734
02:06:40,260 --> 02:06:41,900
who comes in with $1,000.

3735
02:06:42,700 --> 02:06:44,100
Top executive producer.

3736
02:06:44,740 --> 02:06:46,000
And a handwritten note.

3737
02:06:46,060 --> 02:06:47,000
Hello, John and Adam.

3738
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:50,580
I'm just sending you some treasure to help

3739
02:06:50,580 --> 02:06:52,020
you keep the sad puppy away.

3740
02:06:52,360 --> 02:06:53,260
Love the show.

3741
02:06:53,700 --> 02:06:56,080
One of your producers, Sir Ronald Lafferty.

3742
02:06:56,920 --> 02:06:58,260
And he did not ask for a title

3743
02:06:58,260 --> 02:06:59,880
upgrade, but he is entitled to it.

3744
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:02,420
But until then, thank you very much, Ronald.

3745
02:07:02,500 --> 02:07:03,760
We really appreciate that.

3746
02:07:03,840 --> 02:07:05,980
That is a nice birthday present for John.

3747
02:07:07,460 --> 02:07:10,000
David Fugazotto, our buddy in Gladstone, Missouri.

3748
02:07:11,660 --> 02:07:14,940
He says, great Commodore switcheroo, please.

3749
02:07:14,940 --> 02:07:21,000
This is for the indomitable Dame Melody Fugazotto,

3750
02:07:21,260 --> 02:07:24,240
U.S. Navy retired, who of all people

3751
02:07:24,240 --> 02:07:25,640
should be at Commodore.

3752
02:07:25,780 --> 02:07:26,360
That's right.

3753
02:07:26,680 --> 02:07:27,340
Most definitely.

3754
02:07:27,860 --> 02:07:29,280
She's the admiral of my heart.

3755
02:07:30,480 --> 02:07:32,480
Happy birthday, John, and thank you for your

3756
02:07:32,480 --> 02:07:32,840
courage.

3757
02:07:32,980 --> 02:07:33,300
Beautiful.

3758
02:07:33,980 --> 02:07:35,220
Good to hear from you guys.

3759
02:07:36,160 --> 02:07:38,560
Then we have Cheeky and Anonymous Seeking the

3760
02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:38,780
Middle.

3761
02:07:40,680 --> 02:07:41,680
Interesting name.

3762
02:07:41,740 --> 02:07:43,360
From Bedford, Massachusetts, 500.

3763
02:07:43,360 --> 02:07:46,100
Second part of donation from sale of our

3764
02:07:46,100 --> 02:07:48,700
home in the corrupt Communist Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

3765
02:07:49,440 --> 02:07:51,720
I think we gave him some karma for

3766
02:07:51,720 --> 02:07:51,960
that.

3767
02:07:52,520 --> 02:07:54,460
We sadly felt compelled to cash out of

3768
02:07:54,460 --> 02:07:57,440
our overpriced, under-socialized, if you did not

3769
02:07:57,440 --> 02:07:59,700
have TDS, only a small circle of patriots

3770
02:07:59,700 --> 02:08:02,060
to hang with, family home for our once

3771
02:08:02,060 --> 02:08:04,480
beloved, thought to be adopted home of Bedford,

3772
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:05,080
Massachusetts.

3773
02:08:05,660 --> 02:08:07,500
We can't entirely give up on the Northeast,

3774
02:08:07,740 --> 02:08:09,080
but I still work out of Boston and

3775
02:08:09,080 --> 02:08:11,560
we play, teach kids skiing and love winter

3776
02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:13,220
in the best mountain town in the East

3777
02:08:13,220 --> 02:08:13,860
in Vermont.

3778
02:08:14,200 --> 02:08:16,960
Communist, but only dopey there, not corrupt.

3779
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:21,040
We think we decided on our red area

3780
02:08:21,040 --> 02:08:23,600
safe house in a relatively affordable area in

3781
02:08:23,600 --> 02:08:25,180
the Black Hills of South Dakota.

3782
02:08:25,540 --> 02:08:27,980
So this $500 is for all the sanity,

3783
02:08:28,220 --> 02:08:30,000
laughs, and perspective you have added to our

3784
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:32,700
lives since I discovered you during COVID, courtesy

3785
02:08:32,700 --> 02:08:35,620
of Scott Adams, when you got along.

3786
02:08:36,700 --> 02:08:39,940
Did we have a feud with Scott Adams?

3787
02:08:40,460 --> 02:08:40,820
No.

3788
02:08:40,820 --> 02:08:41,860
I don't think so.

3789
02:08:43,040 --> 02:08:45,020
I think he got called out on the

3790
02:08:45,020 --> 02:08:48,960
show some time ago for his vax stance,

3791
02:08:49,140 --> 02:08:51,020
which suddenly changed.

3792
02:08:51,080 --> 02:08:51,960
He's a hypnotist.

3793
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:53,360
He could turn us around in a second.

3794
02:08:54,160 --> 02:08:55,340
I still like Scott.

3795
02:08:55,500 --> 02:08:58,020
He adds to the mental toolbox along with

3796
02:08:58,020 --> 02:08:59,080
you guys and a few others.

3797
02:08:59,200 --> 02:09:00,480
You guys, though, rock.

3798
02:09:01,100 --> 02:09:02,980
Please provide peace and love and get well

3799
02:09:02,980 --> 02:09:05,080
karma and an appropriate jingle, if you have

3800
02:09:05,080 --> 02:09:08,300
one, for everybody's family, friends, and colleagues afflicted

3801
02:09:08,300 --> 02:09:11,800
with TDS and all trophy trans children being

3802
02:09:11,800 --> 02:09:14,940
raised by Munchausen syndrome by proxy.

3803
02:09:15,460 --> 02:09:16,280
My goodness.

3804
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:18,780
Yeah, you know, somebody brought that up in

3805
02:09:18,780 --> 02:09:22,200
a – I saw this in some chat

3806
02:09:22,200 --> 02:09:23,760
or something, or maybe it was online.

3807
02:09:23,880 --> 02:09:24,960
I never recorded it.

3808
02:09:25,480 --> 02:09:27,780
But, yeah, they think that it's a version

3809
02:09:27,780 --> 02:09:32,780
of Munchausen by proxy, which is kind of

3810
02:09:32,780 --> 02:09:37,120
a weird psychological disorder where you constantly hurt

3811
02:09:37,120 --> 02:09:39,760
yourself to get attention, and now it's been

3812
02:09:39,760 --> 02:09:42,480
transferred to turning your kids trans to get

3813
02:09:42,480 --> 02:09:43,700
attention to yourself.

3814
02:09:44,740 --> 02:09:47,740
Regards, Cheeky and Anonymous, Seeking the Middle, formerly

3815
02:09:47,740 --> 02:09:48,800
of Bedford.

3816
02:09:48,900 --> 02:09:50,680
Well, yes, I have something appropriate for you.

3817
02:09:51,120 --> 02:09:52,120
Oh, there's no winning.

3818
02:09:52,520 --> 02:09:55,020
We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere,

3819
02:09:55,240 --> 02:09:56,460
but we laugh a lot.

3820
02:09:56,760 --> 02:09:58,500
Now everyone hug and share a secret.

3821
02:09:58,820 --> 02:10:00,320
You've got karma.

3822
02:10:02,200 --> 02:10:02,680
Classic.

3823
02:10:03,220 --> 02:10:03,540
Yes.

3824
02:10:03,540 --> 02:10:06,640
Jordan Johnson in Schertz.

3825
02:10:06,740 --> 02:10:07,220
Schertz?

3826
02:10:08,120 --> 02:10:08,600
Schertz.

3827
02:10:08,740 --> 02:10:09,220
Schertz.

3828
02:10:09,280 --> 02:10:10,340
Yeah, Schertz.

3829
02:10:10,580 --> 02:10:11,460
Schertz, Texas.

3830
02:10:11,840 --> 02:10:12,540
Schertz, man.

3831
02:10:12,740 --> 02:10:12,840
Schertz.

3832
02:10:12,840 --> 02:10:14,820
In the morning, long-time listener, first-time

3833
02:10:14,820 --> 02:10:16,860
donor, please give this credit to my –

3834
02:10:16,860 --> 02:10:18,580
this is a switcheroo to my smoking-hot

3835
02:10:18,580 --> 02:10:21,560
wife, Brittany.

3836
02:10:21,940 --> 02:10:23,640
Brittany Johnston.

3837
02:10:25,220 --> 02:10:28,020
Brittany is turning 40 years old April 5th.

3838
02:10:28,060 --> 02:10:28,700
Hey, it's my birthday.

3839
02:10:29,360 --> 02:10:31,520
Would you please put her on the birthday

3840
02:10:31,520 --> 02:10:32,120
list she's on?

3841
02:10:32,240 --> 02:10:32,420
Yep.

3842
02:10:32,420 --> 02:10:34,800
I've had the hots for my wife since

3843
02:10:34,800 --> 02:10:36,680
the moment I laid eyes on her.

3844
02:10:36,880 --> 02:10:37,480
Oh, nice.

3845
02:10:37,600 --> 02:10:38,580
She's bright and shining.

3846
02:10:39,280 --> 02:10:41,160
She's a bright and shining diamond.

3847
02:10:41,860 --> 02:10:43,760
A light in the darkness and a terrific

3848
02:10:43,760 --> 02:10:44,220
cook.

3849
02:10:46,180 --> 02:10:46,480
Win.

3850
02:10:46,920 --> 02:10:47,520
Win.

3851
02:10:47,960 --> 02:10:50,060
She's given us five beautiful human resources.

3852
02:10:50,200 --> 02:10:52,780
I always – I just – I won't

3853
02:10:52,780 --> 02:10:53,480
bring it up.

3854
02:10:54,240 --> 02:10:54,540
What?

3855
02:10:54,860 --> 02:10:58,620
You know, women who like to cook are

3856
02:10:58,620 --> 02:10:59,920
– What?

3857
02:11:00,540 --> 02:11:03,480
You know, most women kill their husbands by

3858
02:11:03,480 --> 02:11:04,220
poisoning them.

3859
02:11:05,700 --> 02:11:06,700
I always tell that, Winston.

3860
02:11:06,840 --> 02:11:07,580
You like to cook?

3861
02:11:07,660 --> 02:11:08,700
I say, yeah, I do all the cooking

3862
02:11:08,700 --> 02:11:09,280
in the house.

3863
02:11:10,560 --> 02:11:12,220
And that's the reason I do it.

3864
02:11:13,100 --> 02:11:13,500
Okay.

3865
02:11:14,520 --> 02:11:15,880
It just comes to mind.

3866
02:11:15,940 --> 02:11:16,360
I'm sorry.

3867
02:11:16,480 --> 02:11:17,240
I think it's true.

3868
02:11:17,520 --> 02:11:18,180
I'm with you.

3869
02:11:18,240 --> 02:11:19,840
Women who like to cook are dangerous.

3870
02:11:20,440 --> 02:11:22,900
They're dangerous because they can drop into, you

3871
02:11:22,900 --> 02:11:23,400
know, something.

3872
02:11:23,680 --> 02:11:25,420
This tip from your No Agenda show.

3873
02:11:26,080 --> 02:11:27,800
It's tip of the moment.

3874
02:11:28,120 --> 02:11:28,840
Tip of the moment.

3875
02:11:28,840 --> 02:11:30,180
Life-saving tip.

3876
02:11:30,980 --> 02:11:33,560
She has given us five beautiful human resources.

3877
02:11:33,980 --> 02:11:38,160
Jack, Margo, Phoebe, Owen, and Carly.

3878
02:11:38,400 --> 02:11:38,880
Carly.

3879
02:11:39,680 --> 02:11:40,480
Oh, I'm sorry.

3880
02:11:40,540 --> 02:11:41,340
It looks like a T on here.

3881
02:11:41,840 --> 02:11:43,960
And she homeschools them.

3882
02:11:44,120 --> 02:11:46,440
Oh, this woman is very busy.

3883
02:11:46,660 --> 02:11:46,880
Yeah.

3884
02:11:47,060 --> 02:11:47,740
And she cooks.

3885
02:11:47,920 --> 02:11:48,620
Yeah, be careful.

3886
02:11:48,860 --> 02:11:51,620
After homeschooling five kids, she might kill you.

3887
02:11:52,100 --> 02:11:52,320
Yeah.

3888
02:11:54,460 --> 02:11:56,400
I give thanks to God every day that

3889
02:11:56,400 --> 02:11:57,160
she is mine.

3890
02:11:57,160 --> 02:11:59,980
Her faith is what changed our family for

3891
02:11:59,980 --> 02:12:01,060
generations to come.

3892
02:12:01,260 --> 02:12:02,220
Happy birthday, Brittany.

3893
02:12:02,300 --> 02:12:03,640
I love you with all my heart.

3894
02:12:03,780 --> 02:12:05,440
And happy birthday to you, too, John.

3895
02:12:06,220 --> 02:12:07,360
Brittany adores you.

3896
02:12:07,500 --> 02:12:08,480
She's a good woman.

3897
02:12:08,700 --> 02:12:08,840
Yeah.

3898
02:12:10,200 --> 02:12:12,080
And she probably won't poison you.

3899
02:12:12,600 --> 02:12:14,580
For jiggles, it says.

3900
02:12:14,660 --> 02:12:15,740
I'm pretty sure I read that right.

3901
02:12:15,920 --> 02:12:16,700
It says jiggles.

3902
02:12:16,920 --> 02:12:17,800
Yes, it says jiggles.

3903
02:12:17,820 --> 02:12:18,020
Yeah, yeah.

3904
02:12:18,020 --> 02:12:19,820
Could we please hear a little I've Got

3905
02:12:19,820 --> 02:12:20,360
Ants?

3906
02:12:20,720 --> 02:12:22,900
Thank you both for the best podcast in

3907
02:12:22,900 --> 02:12:23,280
the universe.

3908
02:12:23,600 --> 02:12:25,580
Four more years, says Jordan.

3909
02:12:25,940 --> 02:12:26,700
All right, Jordan.

3910
02:12:26,700 --> 02:12:27,520
Thank you very much.

3911
02:12:27,580 --> 02:12:28,980
We will play a little bit of I've

3912
02:12:28,980 --> 02:12:30,580
Got Ants for Brittany.

3913
02:12:31,400 --> 02:12:32,460
I've Got Ants.

3914
02:12:37,120 --> 02:12:38,200
I've Got Ants.

3915
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:43,020
I'll give you a karma, too, while we're

3916
02:12:43,020 --> 02:12:43,460
at it.

3917
02:12:44,220 --> 02:12:45,760
You've Got Karma.

3918
02:12:47,280 --> 02:12:49,340
Add a little extra spice there for you.

3919
02:12:49,360 --> 02:12:51,320
Sir Lawrence is in Oakland, California.

3920
02:12:52,040 --> 02:12:55,220
And he comes in with 333.33. He's

3921
02:12:55,220 --> 02:12:55,720
in blue.

3922
02:12:55,880 --> 02:12:57,460
So that means something's up with him.

3923
02:12:57,820 --> 02:12:59,440
And he has a note here, which I

3924
02:12:59,440 --> 02:13:01,540
shall grab ahold of.

3925
02:13:01,640 --> 02:13:02,800
I believe he's at the meetup.

3926
02:13:03,460 --> 02:13:03,980
Oh, okay.

3927
02:13:04,040 --> 02:13:04,700
Well, here we go.

3928
02:13:06,320 --> 02:13:06,740
Nice.

3929
02:13:07,180 --> 02:13:07,740
This is from.

3930
02:13:07,880 --> 02:13:09,000
It looks like it was a typewriter.

3931
02:13:09,280 --> 02:13:09,680
Typewritten.

3932
02:13:11,200 --> 02:13:14,780
It says 333.33 plus baronet.

3933
02:13:15,560 --> 02:13:16,120
Oh, baronet.

3934
02:13:16,180 --> 02:13:16,540
There we go.

3935
02:13:16,980 --> 02:13:17,520
ITM, gentlemen.

3936
02:13:18,160 --> 02:13:20,800
When you read this letter, John's birthday extravaganza

3937
02:13:20,800 --> 02:13:22,260
will be in the rearview mirror.

3938
02:13:22,580 --> 02:13:23,500
It's in the rearview.

3939
02:13:23,500 --> 02:13:25,820
I have no doubts it will be.

3940
02:13:26,380 --> 02:13:29,040
It will have been off the proverbial his

3941
02:13:29,040 --> 02:13:29,420
all.

3942
02:13:30,120 --> 02:13:32,240
And added some great memories to John's already

3943
02:13:32,240 --> 02:13:33,980
large volume of 93.

3944
02:13:35,080 --> 02:13:35,340
Sorry.

3945
02:13:35,700 --> 02:13:36,940
73 years worth.

3946
02:13:37,020 --> 02:13:37,840
That was an honest mistake.

3947
02:13:38,640 --> 02:13:39,800
Can I get a jobs karma?

3948
02:13:39,980 --> 02:13:41,120
And I love my truck.

3949
02:13:41,160 --> 02:13:42,260
And I love what I do.

3950
02:13:42,360 --> 02:13:44,480
I just started with a new company that

3951
02:13:44,480 --> 02:13:47,040
got awarded the elevator contract in my building.

3952
02:13:47,120 --> 02:13:48,980
And asked me to change shirts.

3953
02:13:49,480 --> 02:13:52,580
As they still provide a vehicle stipend.

3954
02:13:52,580 --> 02:13:56,000
I got myself a 2024 Ford F-150

3955
02:13:56,000 --> 02:13:57,980
STX with a super cab.

3956
02:13:58,100 --> 02:13:58,820
Extended cab.

3957
02:13:59,160 --> 02:14:00,660
It's more money for less work.

3958
02:14:00,760 --> 02:14:02,420
And I got a truck that hauls balls

3959
02:14:02,420 --> 02:14:04,000
with a turbo V6.

3960
02:14:04,520 --> 02:14:06,740
Lastly, this donation makes me a baronet.

3961
02:14:06,780 --> 02:14:07,980
Does this mean that I am to be

3962
02:14:07,980 --> 02:14:09,780
called Sir Lawrence Baronet of Dystopia?

3963
02:14:10,280 --> 02:14:12,380
Or could I be Sir Lawrence of Dystopia

3964
02:14:12,380 --> 02:14:13,700
Baronet of Maxwell Park?

3965
02:14:14,000 --> 02:14:15,760
Inquiring minds want to know.

3966
02:14:16,600 --> 02:14:18,220
Well, you're in charge of that, John.

3967
02:14:18,280 --> 02:14:19,700
I think he can do whatever he wants.

3968
02:14:20,080 --> 02:14:21,380
Give him the first title.

3969
02:14:21,380 --> 02:14:22,260
Okay.

3970
02:14:22,520 --> 02:14:25,380
It will be Sir Lawrence Baronet of Dystopia.

3971
02:14:25,560 --> 02:14:26,000
Very good.

3972
02:14:26,120 --> 02:14:28,460
Adios mofos and 73s, John.

3973
02:14:28,600 --> 02:14:28,940
Get it.

3974
02:14:29,220 --> 02:14:31,580
Oh, he is Kilo Oscar 6 Echo Juliet

3975
02:14:31,580 --> 02:14:31,980

3978
02:14:34,900 --> 02:14:36,240
Give me the truck.

3979
02:14:36,400 --> 02:14:36,940
I'll do the jobs.

3980
02:14:36,940 --> 02:14:38,040
I love my truck.

3981
02:14:38,100 --> 02:14:39,380
And I love what I do.

3982
02:14:39,520 --> 02:14:40,040
Jobs.

3983
02:14:40,540 --> 02:14:41,060
Jobs.

3984
02:14:41,500 --> 02:14:42,020
Jobs.

3985
02:14:42,240 --> 02:14:42,820
And jobs.

3986
02:14:43,020 --> 02:14:44,540
Let's vote for jobs.

3987
02:14:45,040 --> 02:14:45,700
You thought.

3988
02:14:46,160 --> 02:14:46,520
Karma.

3989
02:14:49,460 --> 02:14:52,060
I think Sir Lawrence is part of the

3990
02:14:52,060 --> 02:14:54,200
team of people that were talking about how

3991
02:14:54,200 --> 02:14:55,520
they avoided getting vaxxed.

3992
02:14:56,260 --> 02:14:58,400
Oh, one of those guys, huh?

3993
02:14:59,740 --> 02:15:01,740
It was like, there's a bunch of them.

3994
02:15:01,900 --> 02:15:03,880
They all have their different stories.

3995
02:15:04,080 --> 02:15:04,400
Of course.

3996
02:15:04,580 --> 02:15:05,660
Everyone has a story.

3997
02:15:05,840 --> 02:15:06,340
It was horrible.

3998
02:15:06,540 --> 02:15:06,940
Horrible time.

3999

China is asshole.

4014
02:15:35,060 --> 02:15:35,880
You thought.

4015
02:15:41,120 --> 02:15:41,760

4021
02:15:55,720 --> 02:15:57,400
Well, this is amazing.

4022
02:15:58,880 --> 02:16:01,640
That's the old random number theory.

4023
02:16:01,720 --> 02:16:02,600
Random number theory.

4024
02:16:02,700 --> 02:16:03,880
It happens all the time.

4025
02:16:04,080 --> 02:16:05,660
And it's like, can't be avoided.

4026
02:16:05,900 --> 02:16:07,440
Thank you both for what you do.

4029
02:16:12,680 --> 02:16:14,720
Right now I'm scoring big on this.

4030
02:16:14,760 --> 02:16:15,540
I love it.

4031
02:16:16,720 --> 02:16:17,380
I yeah.

4032
02:16:17,740 --> 02:16:19,180
Well, it was like one of the memes

4033
02:16:19,180 --> 02:16:19,520
I had.

4034
02:16:19,600 --> 02:16:23,920
The newsletter was like, got a lot of

4035
02:16:23,920 --> 02:16:24,420
attention.

4036
02:16:24,720 --> 02:16:25,580
Which one was that?

4037
02:16:26,020 --> 02:16:28,100
It's the one that says there she was

4038
02:16:28,100 --> 02:16:29,260
walking down the street.

4039
02:16:29,660 --> 02:16:31,719
And then there's pictures and you have to

4040
02:16:31,719 --> 02:16:33,500
kind of figure out what, what these, what

4041
02:16:33,500 --> 02:16:34,700
it means, what does it mean?

4042
02:16:36,780 --> 02:16:37,799
And boomer humor.

4043
02:16:38,020 --> 02:16:38,160
Got it.

4044
02:16:38,200 --> 02:16:40,320
And some people didn't boomer humor, boomer humor,

4045
02:16:40,379 --> 02:16:40,639

Grizzly.

4052
02:16:50,160 --> 02:16:50,760
Grizzly.

4053

4057
02:16:57,020 --> 02:16:57,920
Hi guys.

4058
02:16:58,879 --> 02:17:00,000
It's exactly the way it's written.

4059
02:17:00,540 --> 02:17:02,420
This donation is for our son, Adam.

4060
02:17:03,420 --> 02:17:06,639
18 years ago at exactly 903 PM in

4061
02:17:06,639 --> 02:17:07,700
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

4062
02:17:08,100 --> 02:17:09,959
This amazing human entered the world.

4063
02:17:09,959 --> 02:17:12,860
Adam came into our lives and made our

4064
02:17:12,860 --> 02:17:15,200
hearts expand in ways we never imagined.

4065
02:17:15,740 --> 02:17:17,740
He's a living, breathing piece of our souls

4066
02:17:17,740 --> 02:17:21,260
that we've gently sent out into the world,

4067
02:17:21,639 --> 02:17:25,459
praying he'd find joy, spread kindness and leave

4068
02:17:25,459 --> 02:17:27,080
the world a better place than he found

4069
02:17:27,080 --> 02:17:27,260
it.

4070
02:17:27,740 --> 02:17:29,340
That's a lot of, a lot of stuff

4071
02:17:29,340 --> 02:17:30,379
there for him to do.

4072
02:17:30,680 --> 02:17:30,780
Yes.

4073
02:17:30,840 --> 02:17:32,400
You're putting a lot of responsibility on the

4074
02:17:32,400 --> 02:17:32,900
kid's shoulders.

4075
02:17:33,120 --> 02:17:33,980
Stop it.

4076
02:17:35,080 --> 02:17:35,799
Stop it.

4077
02:17:36,100 --> 02:17:37,840
He's our life's greatest creation.

4078
02:17:37,840 --> 02:17:40,280
Not a project, but a masterpiece.

4079
02:17:40,760 --> 02:17:43,340
Shaped by love, lessons, laughter and fears.

4080
02:17:43,620 --> 02:17:44,059
Tears.

4081
02:17:44,260 --> 02:17:44,360
Love.

4082
02:17:45,219 --> 02:17:45,680
Tears.

4083
02:17:46,080 --> 02:17:46,780
Not fears.

4084
02:17:47,240 --> 02:17:47,980
What'd I say?

4085
02:17:48,040 --> 02:17:48,360
Fears?

4086
02:17:48,440 --> 02:17:48,799
Fears.

4087
02:17:49,420 --> 02:17:50,580
They scared the kid.

4088
02:17:51,879 --> 02:17:52,959
I love you, Adam.

4089
02:17:53,320 --> 02:17:53,780
Pronunciation.

4090
02:17:54,240 --> 02:17:54,620
No, A-dash.

4091
02:17:54,959 --> 02:17:56,100
No, it's A-dash.

4092
02:17:56,219 --> 02:17:56,980
That's his nickname.

4093
02:17:57,240 --> 02:17:57,520
Oh, A-dash.

4094
02:17:57,639 --> 02:17:58,299
Look at A-dash.

4095
02:17:58,440 --> 02:17:59,480
It's never been Adam.

4096
02:17:59,600 --> 02:18:00,680
It's always been A-dash.

4097
02:18:00,820 --> 02:18:01,139
Yes.

4098
02:18:01,959 --> 02:18:03,500
I love you, A-dash.

4099
02:18:03,559 --> 02:18:03,740
Pronunciation.

4100
02:18:03,740 --> 02:18:04,820
Oh, it's in Polish.

4101
02:18:05,160 --> 02:18:05,760
But that's not Polish.

4102
02:18:05,959 --> 02:18:06,379
It's A-dash.

4103
02:18:06,379 --> 02:18:06,780
A-dash.

4104
02:18:06,920 --> 02:18:07,420
A-dash.

4105
02:18:07,520 --> 02:18:07,959
How about that?

4106
02:18:08,059 --> 02:18:08,500
A-dash.

4107
02:18:10,299 --> 02:18:10,740
Yeah.

4108
02:18:10,900 --> 02:18:13,299
Does the Polish Bible say Adam and A

4109
02:18:13,299 --> 02:18:13,959
-dash and Eva?

4110
02:18:15,580 --> 02:18:16,980
Inquiring minds like to know.

4111
02:18:17,139 --> 02:18:18,459
Polish Bible's in Latin.

4112
02:18:19,400 --> 02:18:20,840
Mom and Dad, thanks guys.

4113
02:18:21,540 --> 02:18:21,980
Kasia.

4114
02:18:23,180 --> 02:18:23,620
Pronounce.

4115
02:18:24,320 --> 02:18:24,760
Kaj.

4116
02:18:25,299 --> 02:18:25,719
Kasha.

4117
02:18:25,959 --> 02:18:26,360
Kasha.

4118
02:18:26,799 --> 02:18:27,120
Kasha.

4119
02:18:27,860 --> 02:18:28,040
And then.

4120
02:18:28,680 --> 02:18:29,120
Grejleka.

4121
02:18:29,360 --> 02:18:30,360
I got that part right.

4122
02:18:30,559 --> 02:18:31,780
I didn't get the Kasha right.

4123
02:18:32,040 --> 02:18:32,900
Oh, I got that wrong.

4124
02:18:32,900 --> 02:18:36,000
P.S. Southwest Florida really needs a meetup

4125
02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:36,459
already.

4126
02:18:36,740 --> 02:18:37,480
It's been too long.

4127
02:18:37,580 --> 02:18:39,959
We have Floridians that do these things.

4128
02:18:40,100 --> 02:18:43,299
Yeah, but one of them abruptly quit.

4129
02:18:44,360 --> 02:18:44,959
Oh, no.

4130
02:18:45,379 --> 02:18:46,959
Yeah, this happened a while ago.

4131
02:18:47,559 --> 02:18:49,719
Oh, that's our girl, right?

4132
02:18:49,900 --> 02:18:50,200
Yeah.

4133
02:18:50,500 --> 02:18:52,740
And I've even reached out to her and

4134
02:18:52,740 --> 02:18:54,200
she's like, can't talk about it.

4135
02:18:54,420 --> 02:18:55,540
Thanks for reaching out.

4136
02:18:58,559 --> 02:18:59,719
Oh, I wonder what happened.

4137
02:19:00,760 --> 02:19:01,620
She can't talk about it.

4138
02:19:01,620 --> 02:19:05,059
I think it's something with her work.

4139
02:19:05,360 --> 02:19:07,320
Like the agency wasn't happy with it or

4140
02:19:07,320 --> 02:19:07,620
something.

4141
02:19:08,860 --> 02:19:09,540
Just guessing.

4142
02:19:09,540 --> 02:19:10,360
Oh, that could be.

4143
02:19:10,420 --> 02:19:11,020
Just guessing.

4144
02:19:11,360 --> 02:19:13,559
Government interference with the No Agenda Show.

4145
02:19:14,260 --> 02:19:16,120

4147
02:19:18,059 --> 02:19:18,840
Sun City, Florida.

4148
02:19:19,059 --> 02:19:21,219
222.22. Rove ducks, switcheroo.

4149
02:19:21,600 --> 02:19:23,379
In the morning, gentlemen, happy belated birthday to

4150
02:19:23,379 --> 02:19:23,620
John.

4151
02:19:23,680 --> 02:19:25,540
I know this note is long, but someone's

4152
02:19:25,540 --> 02:19:26,639
getting knighted today.

4153
02:19:27,900 --> 02:19:29,780
Someone's getting knighted and someone's getting cornholed.

4154
02:19:31,780 --> 02:19:32,420
Accounting below.

4155
02:19:32,840 --> 02:19:37,260
With this third rove duxonation, if you couldn't

4156
02:19:37,260 --> 02:19:38,139
kick in the penny.

4157
02:19:38,299 --> 02:19:39,059
Oh, hold on a second.

4158
02:19:39,160 --> 02:19:39,920
You need a penny, man?

4159
02:19:40,059 --> 02:19:40,840
I'll kick in a penny.

4160
02:19:40,980 --> 02:19:41,420
Where's the penny?

4161
02:19:41,540 --> 02:19:42,000
There we go.

4162
02:19:44,260 --> 02:19:44,660
Please.

4163
02:19:44,900 --> 02:19:46,240
Yes, that put us over the top.

4164
02:19:46,719 --> 02:19:49,640
I'd like to switcheroo my tithings and bequeath

4165
02:19:49,640 --> 02:19:51,960
this knighthood to my dad, Marty.

4166
02:19:52,700 --> 02:19:53,060
All right.

4167
02:19:53,260 --> 02:19:53,380
Switch.

4168
02:19:53,560 --> 02:19:53,880
Okay.

4169
02:19:54,140 --> 02:19:57,580
So does it stay James, but Marty gets

4170
02:19:57,580 --> 02:19:59,020
the knighthood?

4171
02:19:59,020 --> 02:20:00,480
What do you think here, John?

4172
02:20:01,060 --> 02:20:02,220
Yeah, Marty gets the knighthood.

4173
02:20:02,420 --> 02:20:03,260
Of course he does.

4174
02:20:03,400 --> 02:20:06,180
But James stays the associate executive producer?

4175
02:20:06,300 --> 02:20:06,780
Yeah, yes.

4176
02:20:07,080 --> 02:20:08,840
I would think that would be correct.

4177
02:20:09,140 --> 02:20:09,380
Okay.

4178
02:20:12,100 --> 02:20:12,540
Okay.

4179
02:20:12,660 --> 02:20:15,120
So I'd like to switcheroo my tithings and

4180
02:20:15,120 --> 02:20:16,660
bequeath this knighthood to my dad, Marty.

4181
02:20:16,760 --> 02:20:18,720
And request that his knight name be henceforth

4182
02:20:18,720 --> 02:20:21,220
known as Sir Marty von Weinsbergen of the

4183
02:20:21,220 --> 02:20:22,240
Coachella Valley.

4184
02:20:22,860 --> 02:20:24,840
He's always been my hero since I understood

4185
02:20:24,840 --> 02:20:25,660
what that meant.

4186
02:20:25,660 --> 02:20:28,240
And he was recently dealt a potential cancer

4187
02:20:28,240 --> 02:20:28,880
diagnosis.

4188
02:20:29,280 --> 02:20:31,200
I'm so proud of his bravery in the

4189
02:20:31,200 --> 02:20:33,040
face of this and request an F cancer

4190
02:20:33,040 --> 02:20:33,500
jiggle.

4191
02:20:34,380 --> 02:20:36,280
This is another random number theory.

4192
02:20:36,420 --> 02:20:36,740
A jiggle.

4193
02:20:37,160 --> 02:20:38,040
It's a jingle, people.

4194
02:20:38,900 --> 02:20:41,360
And a goat karma to counter this.

4195
02:20:41,640 --> 02:20:41,780
Okay.

4196
02:20:42,800 --> 02:20:43,840
I love you, Dad.

4197
02:20:43,900 --> 02:20:45,240
I'm very blessed to be your son.

4198
02:20:45,400 --> 02:20:47,120
And now you got this.

4199
02:20:47,380 --> 02:20:48,240
I know you got it.

4200
02:20:48,280 --> 02:20:48,940
Let me do that again.

4201
02:20:48,940 --> 02:20:49,740
I'm butchering this.

4202
02:20:50,180 --> 02:20:50,960
I love you, Dad.

4203
02:20:51,020 --> 02:20:52,220
I'm very blessed to be your son.

4204
02:20:52,240 --> 02:20:53,860
And I know you got this.

4205
02:20:53,900 --> 02:20:54,420
There we go.

4206
02:20:54,420 --> 02:20:58,500
He'd appreciate some Belgian frietkorte and a cold,

4207
02:20:58,680 --> 02:21:01,420
unsweetened Mountain Dew, which, of course, doesn't exist,

4208
02:21:01,760 --> 02:21:02,440
for the roundtable.

4209
02:21:02,740 --> 02:21:04,460
For the time being, I'm still a slave

4210
02:21:04,460 --> 02:21:05,080
to the system.

4211
02:21:05,180 --> 02:21:07,460
So, if I could request an F35 karma

4212
02:21:07,460 --> 02:21:10,380
to include a what in the world tagline

4213
02:21:10,380 --> 02:21:13,040
to help me acquire the property and DOD

4214
02:21:13,040 --> 02:21:14,320
-affiliated employment.

4215
02:21:14,820 --> 02:21:15,440
Oh, man.

4216
02:21:16,020 --> 02:21:18,600
I need to build my final home and

4217
02:21:18,600 --> 02:21:21,240
Waco-esque compound in North Carolina.

4218
02:21:21,540 --> 02:21:22,900
I'd greatly appreciate it.

4219
02:21:23,240 --> 02:21:24,500
Thank you for your courage.

4220
02:21:24,920 --> 02:21:26,420
And four more years.

4221
02:21:26,640 --> 02:21:26,820
Okay.

4222
02:21:26,940 --> 02:21:28,100
So, we need to.

4223
02:21:29,220 --> 02:21:31,480
He needed the jobs karma.

4224
02:21:31,900 --> 02:21:32,820
And was there something else?

4225
02:21:32,820 --> 02:21:33,360
What else was there?

4226
02:21:33,400 --> 02:21:34,260
Was there something else?

4227
02:21:35,560 --> 02:21:36,900
Did I forget something here?

4228
02:21:38,800 --> 02:21:39,120
Goat.

4229
02:21:39,220 --> 02:21:39,860
You want a goat.

4230
02:21:40,300 --> 02:21:40,600
Yeah.

4231
02:21:40,660 --> 02:21:41,200
Oh, okay.

4232
02:21:41,220 --> 02:21:41,800
So, I can do that.

4233
02:21:41,920 --> 02:21:42,720
An F cancer.

4234
02:21:42,900 --> 02:21:43,900
You want an F cancer.

4235
02:21:44,040 --> 02:21:44,260
Okay.

4236
02:21:44,380 --> 02:21:46,680
So, I'll throw in the goat with the.

4237
02:21:46,760 --> 02:21:46,880
Okay.

4238
02:21:46,960 --> 02:21:47,440
I can do it.

4239
02:21:47,480 --> 02:21:48,080
I can do this.

4240
02:21:48,160 --> 02:21:48,520
I can do this.

4241
02:21:54,100 --> 02:21:58,220
You've got karma.

4242
02:21:59,060 --> 02:22:00,500
Oh, it didn't do the what in the

4243
02:22:00,500 --> 02:22:01,260
world is this.

4244
02:22:02,120 --> 02:22:03,240
And that wasn't the goat.

4245
02:22:03,400 --> 02:22:04,140
That was that guy.

4246
02:22:04,280 --> 02:22:05,300
No, I did the goat.

4247
02:22:05,980 --> 02:22:06,860
I did the goat.

4248
02:22:07,040 --> 02:22:07,540
You sure that was goat?

4249
02:22:07,640 --> 02:22:09,040
I thought that was that screaming guy.

4250
02:22:09,160 --> 02:22:09,520
It sounds.

4251
02:22:11,500 --> 02:22:12,220
Here, listen.

4252
02:22:14,680 --> 02:22:16,340
I said, what in the world is this?

4253
02:22:16,380 --> 02:22:17,060
That's the guy.

4254
02:22:17,560 --> 02:22:18,360
And that's the goat.

4255
02:22:21,080 --> 02:22:21,440
Geez.

4256
02:22:22,280 --> 02:22:23,220
Sorry I asked.

4257
02:22:23,220 --> 02:22:25,620
And I prayed for Marty.

4258
02:22:26,200 --> 02:22:26,520
You got it.

02:22:26,740 --> 02:22:30,020

4266
02:22:45,520 --> 02:22:47,720
Hey, well, spooks like the platypus, I guess.

4267
02:22:47,860 --> 02:22:49,200
And spooks like to listen.

4268
02:22:49,600 --> 02:22:50,600
Of course they do.

4269
02:22:52,530 --> 02:22:53,070
Oops, sorry.

4270
02:22:53,170 --> 02:22:53,770
I didn't mean to do that.

No.

bitch at the advertisers?

4302
02:24:00,690 --> 02:24:01,350
It's an upside down world.

4303
02:24:01,370 --> 02:24:02,970
That's exactly the way it's supposed to be.

4304
02:24:03,050 --> 02:24:04,190
It's the world made right.

4305
02:24:04,510 --> 02:24:05,950

How about that?

4343
02:25:21,490 --> 02:25:22,450
That's insane.

4344
02:25:23,750 --> 02:25:27,010
We sometimes spend hours thinking about what kind

4345
02:25:27,010 --> 02:25:28,210
of promotion can we do?

4346
02:25:28,210 --> 02:25:35,810
And then an offhanded obscure comment about Steven

4347
02:25:35,810 --> 02:25:36,480
Wright scores.

4348
02:25:37,090 --> 02:25:37,710
It's unbelievable.

4349
02:25:38,690 --> 02:25:38,850
Yeah.

4350
02:25:39,530 --> 02:25:40,290
It was pretty.

4351
02:25:40,490 --> 02:25:42,210
And it was just a screwball toss away.

4352
02:25:42,370 --> 02:25:43,290
It was a toss away.

4353
02:25:43,530 --> 02:25:44,370
It's remarkable.

4354
02:25:44,670 --> 02:25:45,710
It's truly remarkable.

4355
02:25:46,070 --> 02:25:46,490
I tell you.

4356
02:25:46,590 --> 02:25:47,670
Steven Wright donation.

4357
02:25:47,970 --> 02:25:51,910
Solidly Gen X Count Steven of Winder like

4358
02:25:51,910 --> 02:25:52,810
a clock.

4359
02:25:53,250 --> 02:25:54,990
And the Great Smoky Mountains.

4360
02:25:55,630 --> 02:25:55,890
Boom.

4361
02:25:56,650 --> 02:25:57,530
That's easy.

4362
02:25:57,530 --> 02:25:59,170
Eli the Coffee Guy.

4363
02:25:59,770 --> 02:26:00,630
Bensonville, Illinois.

4364
02:26:00,790 --> 02:26:02,950
204.07. Happy birthday, John.

4365
02:26:03,030 --> 02:26:05,370
I can't wait to hear your next episode

4366
02:26:05,370 --> 02:26:06,690
of DH Unplugged.

4367
02:26:07,310 --> 02:26:09,650
This Monday will either be a bloodbath in

4368
02:26:09,650 --> 02:26:11,770
the markets or a fantastic rebound.

4369
02:26:12,870 --> 02:26:14,330
Either way, it will make for a good

4370
02:26:14,330 --> 02:26:15,110
show on Tuesday.

4371
02:26:15,310 --> 02:26:15,650
That's right.

4372
02:26:15,710 --> 02:26:17,870
DH Unplugged live with John C.

4373
02:26:17,910 --> 02:26:19,550
Dvorak and Andrew Horowitz.

4374
02:26:20,810 --> 02:26:23,870
You listen to Andrew go off.

4375
02:26:27,770 --> 02:26:31,370
It is somewhat entertaining, I have to admit.

4376
02:26:31,510 --> 02:26:32,470
It's pretty funny.

4377
02:26:32,710 --> 02:26:35,650
I've gotten some fantastic stock tips listening to

4378
02:26:35,650 --> 02:26:36,670
you and Horowitz.

4379
02:26:36,830 --> 02:26:37,410
Thank you.

4380
02:26:37,510 --> 02:26:40,410
My investment advice to everyone is go long

4381
02:26:40,410 --> 02:26:43,170
on quality coffee at a great price.

4382
02:26:43,810 --> 02:26:47,370
Visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use code ITM20 for

4383
02:26:47,370 --> 02:26:48,690
20% off your order.

4384
02:26:48,810 --> 02:26:49,630
Stay caffeinated.

4385
02:26:50,130 --> 02:26:51,330
Eli the Coffee Guy.

4386
02:26:51,450 --> 02:26:53,230
Now, that's ad copy right there.

4387
02:26:53,230 --> 02:26:54,490
Very good.

4388
02:26:55,150 --> 02:26:55,730
That's copy.

4389
02:26:55,950 --> 02:26:56,530
I like that.

4390
02:26:57,190 --> 02:26:59,030
He always tells his tale.

4391
02:26:59,210 --> 02:27:01,830
He has a story that prefaces everything.

4392
02:27:02,510 --> 02:27:04,450
He could work for Young and Rubicam.

4393
02:27:04,570 --> 02:27:05,170
I'm telling you.

4394
02:27:05,350 --> 02:27:05,950
He's great.

4395
02:27:07,190 --> 02:27:09,590
Before we get to the last one here,

4396
02:27:10,450 --> 02:27:11,350
I got a note.

4397
02:27:11,430 --> 02:27:12,470
I don't have the note in front of

4398
02:27:12,470 --> 02:27:14,210
me, but it's from one of our producers.

4399
02:27:15,790 --> 02:27:16,950
He's in advertising.

4400
02:27:17,430 --> 02:27:19,110
You may have gotten this.

4401
02:27:19,550 --> 02:27:20,330
He's in advertising.

4402
02:27:20,330 --> 02:27:22,950
He's bemoaning the fact that we're bitching and

4403
02:27:22,950 --> 02:27:24,770
moaning about pharmaceutical ads.

4404
02:27:24,970 --> 02:27:27,250
We went through this whole conversation not two

4405
02:27:27,250 --> 02:27:27,930
shows ago.

4406
02:27:30,060 --> 02:27:30,660
On the show.

4407
02:27:32,180 --> 02:27:33,580
Well, we've talked about this, but did we

4408
02:27:33,580 --> 02:27:34,440
talk about this guy?

4409
02:27:34,940 --> 02:27:35,380
Yes.

4410
02:27:36,240 --> 02:27:37,000
Do it again.

4411
02:27:38,520 --> 02:27:40,340
Well, I'm just saying he was bitching and

4412
02:27:40,340 --> 02:27:42,800
moaning, and he said that we should back

4413
02:27:42,800 --> 02:27:45,060
off, and I don't understand how he could

4414
02:27:45,060 --> 02:27:45,700
be this way.

4415
02:27:47,040 --> 02:27:49,080
Yeah, we had this whole conversation.

4416
02:27:49,620 --> 02:27:50,180
Did we?

4417
02:27:50,180 --> 02:27:51,420
This is how it begins.

4418
02:27:51,960 --> 02:27:53,480
Yeah, well, this is the second thing to

4419
02:27:53,480 --> 02:27:53,740
go.

4420
02:27:54,260 --> 02:27:55,140
What's the first?

4421
02:27:55,460 --> 02:27:56,460
Short-term memories.

4422
02:27:56,660 --> 02:27:57,400
Second thing to go.

4423
02:27:57,540 --> 02:27:58,480
What's the first?

4424
02:27:58,840 --> 02:27:59,600
I don't remember.

4425
02:28:00,720 --> 02:28:02,480
I walked right into it.

4426
02:28:02,500 --> 02:28:03,700
I can't believe that.

4427
02:28:04,180 --> 02:28:05,700
You're still a sharp as a tack.

4428
02:28:06,420 --> 02:28:08,020
Linda Lou Patkins, sharp as a tack.

4429
02:28:08,120 --> 02:28:09,840
She's in Lakewood, Colorado, 200 bucks.

4430
02:28:11,060 --> 02:28:12,620
Again, happy birthday, John.

4431
02:28:12,720 --> 02:28:13,360
Jobs karma.

4432
02:28:13,560 --> 02:28:15,720
For a resume that gets results, go to

4433
02:28:15,720 --> 02:28:19,140
ImageMakersInc.com for all of your executive resume

4434
02:28:19,140 --> 02:28:20,680
and job search needs.

4435
02:28:21,380 --> 02:28:23,080
That's ImageMakersInc with a K.

4436
02:28:23,820 --> 02:28:26,540
And work with Linda Lou, duchess of jobs

4437
02:28:26,540 --> 02:28:28,500
and writer of resumes.

4438
02:28:29,080 --> 02:28:32,220
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4439
02:28:32,420 --> 02:28:33,940
Let's vote for jobs.

4440
02:28:34,560 --> 02:28:36,000
You've got karma.

4441
02:28:36,280 --> 02:28:39,200
Yes, thank you, executive and associate executive producers.

4442
02:28:39,400 --> 02:28:41,880
Not only are you helping the show, you're

4443
02:28:41,880 --> 02:28:42,940
entertaining as well.

4444
02:28:43,080 --> 02:28:45,180
I always say the best stuff happens during

4445
02:28:45,180 --> 02:28:46,160
the donation segment.

4446
02:28:46,160 --> 02:28:48,440
It's only losers who skip it, and they

4447
02:28:48,440 --> 02:28:49,400
miss all the fun.

4448
02:28:49,500 --> 02:28:50,120
But that's all right.

4449
02:28:50,520 --> 02:28:52,180
Like the days of MTV, it can be

4450
02:28:52,180 --> 02:28:54,460
something that only we share, only we understand.

4451
02:28:54,980 --> 02:28:57,560
You can go to NoAgendaDonations.com to support

4452
02:28:57,560 --> 02:28:57,740
us.

4453
02:28:57,820 --> 02:29:00,200
Become an executive producer, associate executive producer.

4454
02:29:00,300 --> 02:29:02,360
Become a knight, a commodore, whatever you want.

4455
02:29:02,400 --> 02:29:04,320
We'll be thanking people in our second segment.

4456
02:29:04,460 --> 02:29:06,560
Also, $50 and above, as we mentioned.

4457
02:29:06,800 --> 02:29:09,100
Everybody, we have gratitude for all.

4458
02:29:09,480 --> 02:29:10,940
And remember, you can set up a recurring

4459
02:29:10,940 --> 02:29:11,400
donation.

4460
02:29:11,400 --> 02:29:12,840
If you have one, you think you have

4461
02:29:12,840 --> 02:29:13,720
one, you might want to check.

4462
02:29:13,800 --> 02:29:15,440
They do get canceled, and they never tell

4463
02:29:15,440 --> 02:29:15,920
you about it.

4464
02:29:15,920 --> 02:29:17,880
Go to NoAgendaDonations.com.

4465
02:29:18,140 --> 02:29:19,860
That's NoAgendaDonations.com.

4466
02:29:19,960 --> 02:29:21,840
And thank you again to our executive and

4467
02:29:21,840 --> 02:29:24,180
associate executive producers for this episode.

4468
02:29:24,780 --> 02:29:26,100
Our formula is this.

4469
02:29:26,940 --> 02:29:27,600
We go out.

4470
02:29:28,080 --> 02:29:29,460
We hit people in the mouth.

4471
02:29:38,100 --> 02:29:39,060
Hot pockets.

4472
02:29:40,240 --> 02:29:41,760
Shut up, Steve.

4473
02:29:44,860 --> 02:29:47,640
Hey, let's talk about the plague of smartphones.

4474
02:29:49,720 --> 02:29:51,640
Okay, who did a report on this?

4475
02:29:51,720 --> 02:29:53,760
Because I agree, it is a plague.

4476
02:29:53,840 --> 02:29:55,140
It is a plague on smartphones.

4477
02:29:55,460 --> 02:29:57,600
Yeah, it's got some information in here you'd

4478
02:29:57,600 --> 02:29:57,880
like.

4479
02:29:58,000 --> 02:29:58,780
Yeah, probably.

4480
02:29:58,780 --> 02:30:02,760
I believe this was on NPR, but let's

4481
02:30:02,760 --> 02:30:03,080
listen.

4482
02:30:03,200 --> 02:30:08,120
This is four clips discussing smartphones with an

4483
02:30:08,120 --> 02:30:11,280
expert from some podunk university who is an

4484
02:30:11,280 --> 02:30:13,900
expert on how it screws us up.

4485
02:30:14,120 --> 02:30:16,760
Many of us are addicted to the little

4486
02:30:16,760 --> 02:30:19,080
computer that fits inside our pocket.

4487
02:30:19,420 --> 02:30:21,700
The average American spends up to five hours

4488
02:30:21,700 --> 02:30:24,500
a day on their smartphone, according to research.

4489
02:30:24,500 --> 02:30:27,640
But sending texts, surfing the internet, or endlessly

4490
02:30:27,640 --> 02:30:31,340
doom scrolling through social media releases hormones that

4491
02:30:31,340 --> 02:30:34,760
literally stress our bodies and our minds.

4492
02:30:35,260 --> 02:30:36,720
We've talked about how important it is to

4493
02:30:36,720 --> 02:30:39,120
restrict screen time for kids, but what about

4494
02:30:39,120 --> 02:30:40,540
for you, for adults?

4495
02:30:40,780 --> 02:30:42,700
And what can you do if you want

4496
02:30:42,700 --> 02:30:44,360
to be less tied to your phone?

4497
02:30:44,900 --> 02:30:47,260
Larry Rosen is a professor emeritus at California

4498
02:30:47,260 --> 02:30:48,540
State University, Dominguez.

4499
02:30:48,560 --> 02:30:51,240
Well, we can stop the whole sequence of

4500
02:30:51,240 --> 02:30:51,960
clips right now.

4501
02:30:51,960 --> 02:30:53,740
The answer is be like John.

4502
02:30:53,920 --> 02:30:55,140
Put your phone in the drawer.

4503
02:30:55,660 --> 02:30:56,080
Done.

4504
02:30:56,860 --> 02:31:00,420
Larry Rosen is a professor emeritus at California

4505
02:31:00,420 --> 02:31:03,040
State University, Dominguez Hills, where he studies the

4506
02:31:03,040 --> 02:31:05,860
psychological impacts of technology on our lives.

4507
02:31:06,280 --> 02:31:09,240
His latest book is The Distracted Mind, Ancient

4508
02:31:09,240 --> 02:31:11,240
Brains in a High-Tech World.

4509
02:31:11,380 --> 02:31:12,940
Larry Rosen, thanks so much for talking with

4510
02:31:12,940 --> 02:31:13,120
us.

4511
02:31:13,480 --> 02:31:14,260
Thanks for having me.

4512
02:31:14,640 --> 02:31:16,380
I start with that title of your book.

4513
02:31:16,440 --> 02:31:18,040
Our minds are ancient.

4514
02:31:18,040 --> 02:31:20,240
They've gotten to this point after thousands and

4515
02:31:20,240 --> 02:31:22,800
thousands of years of evolution, and I got

4516
02:31:22,800 --> 02:31:25,500
my first smartphone in 2007.

4517
02:31:25,880 --> 02:31:28,080
Why is that important, worth pointing out?

4518
02:31:28,460 --> 02:31:30,940
Well, part of it is our brains can

4519
02:31:30,940 --> 02:31:33,260
handle a certain amount of information.

4520
02:31:33,820 --> 02:31:36,060
And we're pretty good at it, and we've

4521
02:31:36,060 --> 02:31:39,440
had these qualities since the cavemen.

4522
02:31:39,440 --> 02:31:42,740
One of the problems is the smartphone in

4523
02:31:42,740 --> 02:31:46,160
particular offers you so much from just your

4524
02:31:46,160 --> 02:31:51,300
pocket that it's very distracting, and it doesn't

4525
02:31:51,300 --> 02:31:53,900
give you time to process information that you

4526
02:31:53,900 --> 02:31:54,980
really need to process.

4527
02:31:55,680 --> 02:31:59,880
I rarely send Joe Rogan a guest suggestion.

4528
02:32:00,200 --> 02:32:01,860
This sounds like the guy he should talk

4529
02:32:01,860 --> 02:32:01,980
to.

4530
02:32:02,040 --> 02:32:03,300
I already know I'm going to like this

4531
02:32:03,300 --> 02:32:03,540
guy.

4532
02:32:05,500 --> 02:32:08,980
I found it interesting that the average person

4533
02:32:08,980 --> 02:32:11,020
with a smartphone spends five and a half

4534
02:32:11,020 --> 02:32:12,440
hours a day.

4535
02:32:12,680 --> 02:32:13,860
Oh, that's average.

4536
02:32:14,100 --> 02:32:15,260
Oh, absolutely.

4537
02:32:16,760 --> 02:32:17,280
Absolutely.

4538
02:32:17,520 --> 02:32:19,840
Now, some of it, it's screen time.

4539
02:32:20,100 --> 02:32:21,180
It's screen time.

4540
02:32:21,300 --> 02:32:22,540
But it's not all folly.

4541
02:32:23,520 --> 02:32:25,120
Some of it is sending…

4542
02:32:25,120 --> 02:32:27,120
Oh, yeah, he's checking your email because you're

4543
02:32:27,120 --> 02:32:27,720
so important.

4544
02:32:27,960 --> 02:32:30,280
Sending important text messages to the group.

4545
02:32:31,380 --> 02:32:33,100
The grid's going down.

4546
02:32:34,480 --> 02:32:35,820
JFK Jr. is alive.

4547
02:32:35,920 --> 02:32:36,600
He's going to be VP.

4548
02:32:37,980 --> 02:32:38,420
Yes.

4549
02:32:39,300 --> 02:32:39,940
Fun word.

4550
02:32:40,140 --> 02:32:41,600
When I look at the stats on my

4551
02:32:41,600 --> 02:32:43,320
phone, I've used it.

4552
02:32:43,460 --> 02:32:45,340
It says an average this week of five

4553
02:32:45,340 --> 02:32:48,000
hours and 23 minutes a day, which according

4554
02:32:48,000 --> 02:32:50,100
to the research looks like I'm pretty average,

4555
02:32:50,220 --> 02:32:50,400
right?

4556
02:32:50,580 --> 02:32:53,860
So what does the science say about what

4557
02:32:53,860 --> 02:32:56,040
that's doing to my body and to my

4558
02:32:56,040 --> 02:32:57,960
mind or to anyone who spends that much

4559
02:32:57,960 --> 02:32:58,560
time on a phone?

4560
02:32:59,100 --> 02:33:01,440
So we started talking about addiction.

4561
02:33:02,300 --> 02:33:04,300
And I want to throw in another term,

4562
02:33:04,480 --> 02:33:05,660
which is obsession.

4563
02:33:06,620 --> 02:33:10,200
Obsession is an anxiety-based system.

4564
02:33:10,800 --> 02:33:13,320
So in your brain and body, you have

4565
02:33:13,320 --> 02:33:14,800
chemicals all over the place.

4566
02:33:15,560 --> 02:33:18,320
And one of the areas that you have

4567
02:33:18,320 --> 02:33:21,140
chemicals is called the adrenal gland.

4568
02:33:21,140 --> 02:33:25,580
And anytime that you get stressed at all,

4569
02:33:26,080 --> 02:33:29,320
that's because the adrenal gland has dumped some

4570
02:33:29,320 --> 02:33:30,640
chemicals into your brain.

4571
02:33:31,200 --> 02:33:33,600
And the one that everybody knows is called

4572
02:33:33,600 --> 02:33:34,080
cortisol.

4573
02:33:35,100 --> 02:33:38,320
So what happens to people, and you're right,

4574
02:33:38,420 --> 02:33:39,380
this is not just kids.

4575
02:33:39,440 --> 02:33:40,100
This is everybody.

4576
02:33:41,020 --> 02:33:44,480
You do a task on your phone.

4577
02:33:44,980 --> 02:33:47,460
You message somebody.

4578
02:33:48,000 --> 02:33:49,820
You go on social media.

4579
02:33:49,820 --> 02:33:52,060
Whatever it is you do, whatever your poison

4580
02:33:52,060 --> 02:33:52,360
is.

4581
02:33:53,140 --> 02:33:54,160
And then you're done.

4582
02:33:54,640 --> 02:33:56,320
And you come back and do something else.

4583
02:33:56,740 --> 02:33:59,540
But while you're doing that something else, the

4584
02:33:59,540 --> 02:34:01,680
cortisol is dripping in there.

4585
02:34:02,200 --> 02:34:04,360
It's indicating that you're anxious.

4586
02:34:04,840 --> 02:34:05,640
So wait a minute.

4587
02:34:05,740 --> 02:34:07,060
Let me just jump in here and ask

4588
02:34:07,060 --> 02:34:08,840
you this because what I'm hearing you say

4589
02:34:08,840 --> 02:34:12,220
is that using our phones releases a hormone,

4590
02:34:12,860 --> 02:34:13,200
cortisol.

4591
02:34:13,580 --> 02:34:16,520
It literally stresses us out.

4592
02:34:16,780 --> 02:34:18,040
So why do we use it?

4593
02:34:21,300 --> 02:34:22,580
Yeah, baby.

4594
02:34:22,820 --> 02:34:24,240
It's good stuff.

4595
02:34:24,920 --> 02:34:26,580
So now as I'm listening to this, I

4596
02:34:26,580 --> 02:34:28,960
realize that when I first went to the

4597
02:34:28,960 --> 02:34:30,800
idea of putting the phone in a drawer,

4598
02:34:31,240 --> 02:34:36,900
which actually began by accident because of T

4599
02:34:36,900 --> 02:34:39,580
-Mobile screwing up my order for a renewal.

4600
02:34:40,880 --> 02:34:42,660
And I got so irked about it, I

4601
02:34:42,660 --> 02:34:44,300
decided to go in a different direction.

4602
02:34:44,460 --> 02:34:46,400
I stopped using them altogether.

4603
02:34:47,380 --> 02:34:48,620
Thanks, T-Mobile.

4604
02:34:48,860 --> 02:34:49,720
Thanks, T-Mobile.

4605
02:34:49,880 --> 02:34:50,560
Another one.

4606
02:34:51,800 --> 02:34:53,140
And so I ended up putting the phone

4607
02:34:53,140 --> 02:34:53,940
in the drawer for a while.

4608
02:34:54,020 --> 02:34:55,780
And then after it took me, it was

4609
02:34:55,780 --> 02:34:59,060
maybe two or three weeks that I realized

4610
02:34:59,060 --> 02:35:01,040
that after having the phone in the drawer

4611
02:35:01,040 --> 02:35:02,700
was actually great.

4612
02:35:03,460 --> 02:35:03,800
Beneficial.

4613
02:35:03,900 --> 02:35:06,180
And so I stretched it out to went

4614
02:35:06,180 --> 02:35:07,080
for one year.

4615
02:35:07,140 --> 02:35:09,660
That's when I talked to the tellers at

4616
02:35:09,660 --> 02:35:11,100
the bank about this.

4617
02:35:11,160 --> 02:35:13,940
And they all thought it was great that

4618
02:35:13,940 --> 02:35:14,700
I could do that.

4619
02:35:14,700 --> 02:35:16,260
Now it's gone for two years.

4620
02:35:16,420 --> 02:35:17,880
I pretty much keep the phone in the

4621
02:35:17,880 --> 02:35:17,980
drawer.

4622
02:35:18,180 --> 02:35:20,760
I have pulled it out on occasion for

4623
02:35:20,760 --> 02:35:22,780
one thing or another, like to get an

4624
02:35:22,780 --> 02:35:25,520
Uber car, for example.

4625
02:35:25,640 --> 02:35:26,500
I'll use it for that.

4626
02:35:26,920 --> 02:35:28,240
But it goes back in the drawer.

4627
02:35:28,480 --> 02:35:30,120
I didn't have it at the meetup yesterday.

4628
02:35:31,040 --> 02:35:34,000
But you text, but you text from the

4629
02:35:34,000 --> 02:35:34,760
computer, right?

4630
02:35:35,000 --> 02:35:37,460
I text from the computer using Google Voice.

4631
02:35:37,760 --> 02:35:39,800
And do you feel that you're behind the

4632
02:35:39,800 --> 02:35:41,200
computer a lot for the texting?

4633
02:35:41,740 --> 02:35:42,060
No.

4634
02:35:42,060 --> 02:35:43,860
Most of the time I don't have it

4635
02:35:43,860 --> 02:35:44,140
open.

4636
02:35:44,260 --> 02:35:45,780
I usually only go to that text page

4637
02:35:45,780 --> 02:35:48,120
once or twice a week just before the

4638
02:35:48,120 --> 02:35:48,380
show.

4639
02:35:48,400 --> 02:35:49,160
To text me.

4640
02:35:50,040 --> 02:35:50,480
Newsletter.

4641
02:35:50,480 --> 02:35:52,160
To text you or to text Mimi.

4642
02:35:52,940 --> 02:35:54,440
Mimi's always saying, you got to go look

4643
02:35:54,440 --> 02:35:55,100
at your text.

4644
02:35:55,200 --> 02:35:55,660
I said, what?

4645
02:35:55,840 --> 02:35:57,120
It's on Gmail.

4646
02:35:57,840 --> 02:36:00,520
Or not Gmail, but the Google Voice.

4647
02:36:00,900 --> 02:36:01,560
Google Voice.

4648
02:36:02,400 --> 02:36:03,280
And okay.

4649
02:36:03,460 --> 02:36:04,420
So I open it up and there's a

4650
02:36:04,420 --> 02:36:05,040
bunch of messages.

4651
02:36:05,540 --> 02:36:08,180
But I'm not like tagging it ever.

4652
02:36:08,960 --> 02:36:11,100
Well, you also don't have a lot of

4653
02:36:11,100 --> 02:36:12,360
people who want to text you.

4654
02:36:12,500 --> 02:36:13,380
I mean, that's a good thing.

4655
02:36:13,380 --> 02:36:13,900
Well, you know what?

4656
02:36:14,360 --> 02:36:14,960
You know why?

4657
02:36:15,480 --> 02:36:16,240
You have no friends?

4658
02:36:16,260 --> 02:36:18,300
If you're not online, you're not hanging out,

4659
02:36:18,400 --> 02:36:19,540
you're not on the phone, you're not in

4660
02:36:19,540 --> 02:36:21,740
the group, you're not contributing to these chats,

4661
02:36:22,220 --> 02:36:24,200
they stop texting you because they know you're

4662
02:36:24,200 --> 02:36:24,700
not there.

4663
02:36:24,820 --> 02:36:26,240
You've got the phone in the drawer.

4664
02:36:26,980 --> 02:36:29,020
Yeah, but don't you feel left out of

4665
02:36:29,020 --> 02:36:29,380
the group?

4666
02:36:29,500 --> 02:36:30,920
No, I don't.

4667
02:36:30,980 --> 02:36:32,300
That's the great thing about it.

4668
02:36:32,300 --> 02:36:33,520
I don't feel that way at all.

4669
02:36:33,600 --> 02:36:35,160
And this is why the lib joes don't

4670
02:36:35,160 --> 02:36:35,940
talk to you anymore.

4671
02:36:36,000 --> 02:36:37,480
Because you left the group.

4672
02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:41,940
See, I like being an Android green bubble

4673
02:36:41,940 --> 02:36:43,580
because then people just look at me and

4674
02:36:43,580 --> 02:36:44,020
scorn.

4675
02:36:47,000 --> 02:36:47,640
I'm an outsider.

4676
02:36:48,060 --> 02:36:49,960
You know, that was interesting because you mentioned

4677
02:36:49,960 --> 02:36:50,260
that.

4678
02:36:50,840 --> 02:36:53,600
There are people still out there and people

4679
02:36:53,600 --> 02:36:55,740
with common sense.

4680
02:36:56,660 --> 02:36:58,580
Because I took this phone to a dinner

4681
02:36:58,580 --> 02:37:01,440
recently because I had to get an Uber

4682
02:37:01,440 --> 02:37:03,500
ride back because I didn't want to drink

4683
02:37:03,500 --> 02:37:04,560
and then drive home.

4684
02:37:04,860 --> 02:37:04,960
Right.

4685
02:37:05,220 --> 02:37:06,500
So I had the phone with me and

4686
02:37:06,500 --> 02:37:09,060
somebody, a good friend of mine, looks at

4687
02:37:09,060 --> 02:37:10,240
the phone and says, what is that?

4688
02:37:11,360 --> 02:37:12,420
And I says, the phone.

4689
02:37:12,420 --> 02:37:13,220
What is that thing?

4690
02:37:13,980 --> 02:37:17,060
He says, is that an Android phone?

4691
02:37:17,560 --> 02:37:19,440
And he was like, with disdain.

4692
02:37:19,960 --> 02:37:21,380
Are you a tech guy?

4693
02:37:21,460 --> 02:37:23,620
I can't believe you have that kind of

4694
02:37:23,620 --> 02:37:24,220
phone.

4695
02:37:24,380 --> 02:37:27,560
And it really is that it still exists,

4696
02:37:27,700 --> 02:37:30,660
this Apple iPhone bigotry.

4697
02:37:30,800 --> 02:37:31,820
Yes, yes.

4698
02:37:32,180 --> 02:37:34,600
I thought they would have gone away by

4699
02:37:34,600 --> 02:37:34,860
now.

4700
02:37:34,960 --> 02:37:36,220
It makes no sense to me.

4701
02:37:36,400 --> 02:37:37,520
What difference does it make?

4702
02:37:37,520 --> 02:37:39,620
I think that, you know, my flip phone,

4703
02:37:40,760 --> 02:37:42,880
people think it's cool.

4704
02:37:43,760 --> 02:37:45,400
Yeah, well, we're coming to that, by the

4705
02:37:45,400 --> 02:37:46,420
way, in these clips.

4706
02:37:46,580 --> 02:37:47,560
That's why these clips are here.

4707
02:37:47,740 --> 02:37:48,100
All right.

4708
02:37:48,580 --> 02:37:49,120
Number three.

4709
02:37:49,840 --> 02:37:50,140
Yeah.

4710
02:37:50,440 --> 02:37:51,920
So why do we use it?

4711
02:37:52,160 --> 02:37:56,320
What happens is we feel compelled, we feel

4712
02:37:56,320 --> 02:37:59,300
obsessed with keeping up with things.

4713
02:38:00,000 --> 02:38:01,220
And we don't want to miss out on

4714
02:38:01,220 --> 02:38:04,280
something because a lot of social activities that

4715
02:38:04,280 --> 02:38:07,000
you might want to be involved in are

4716
02:38:07,000 --> 02:38:09,880
on, say, TikTok.

4717
02:38:10,360 --> 02:38:14,400
So this chemical cortisol in larger and larger

4718
02:38:14,400 --> 02:38:18,340
quantities makes you feel anxious.

4719
02:38:18,800 --> 02:38:20,640
And it's the same kind of anxiety as

4720
02:38:20,640 --> 02:38:21,940
if you were going to get up and

4721
02:38:21,940 --> 02:38:22,820
speak to an audience.

4722
02:38:23,040 --> 02:38:27,820
Your palms sweat, your pits sweat, your stomach

4723
02:38:27,820 --> 02:38:31,680
has butterflies, and you just feel weird.

4724
02:38:31,880 --> 02:38:33,760
You just feel uncomfortable.

4725
02:38:34,340 --> 02:38:35,860
That's the cortisol working.

4726
02:38:37,460 --> 02:38:37,940
Hmm.

4727
02:38:38,280 --> 02:38:38,700
Okay.

4728
02:38:38,860 --> 02:38:39,800
Yes, I believe that.

4729
02:38:40,080 --> 02:38:42,200
Now, from there, they go into a part

4730
02:38:42,200 --> 02:38:43,840
I cut out all the rest of this.

4731
02:38:43,920 --> 02:38:45,160
Well, can I ask a question?

4732
02:38:45,440 --> 02:38:48,900
Because, I mean, it's not just the phone.

4733
02:38:49,120 --> 02:38:50,960
It's what you have on the phone, which

4734
02:38:50,960 --> 02:38:54,260
would be social media, feeling left out of

4735
02:38:54,260 --> 02:38:55,240
the news cycle.

4736
02:38:55,440 --> 02:38:57,120
So it's not just the phone.

4737
02:38:57,360 --> 02:38:58,580
Heaven forbid you miss a headline.

4738
02:38:58,660 --> 02:39:01,340
Yeah, or a great TikTok video.

4739
02:39:01,600 --> 02:39:03,640
So they had a – I get those

4740
02:39:03,640 --> 02:39:04,120
from Twitter.

4741
02:39:04,380 --> 02:39:04,720
I know.

4742
02:39:04,720 --> 02:39:07,540
And so they had a long exhibition of

4743
02:39:07,540 --> 02:39:09,660
ways of breaking free from the phone by

4744
02:39:09,660 --> 02:39:11,920
putting it – there's a bunch of exercises

4745
02:39:11,920 --> 02:39:13,420
that none of them made any sense to

4746
02:39:13,420 --> 02:39:14,940
me except putting the phone in the drawer,

4747
02:39:15,040 --> 02:39:16,060
which they don't bring that up.

4748
02:39:16,620 --> 02:39:17,320
And so it goes on.

4749
02:39:17,420 --> 02:39:18,300
I figured that was going to be my

4750
02:39:18,300 --> 02:39:18,980
last clip.

4751
02:39:19,420 --> 02:39:21,520
And then they come up with the flip

4752
02:39:21,520 --> 02:39:22,380
phone stuff.

4753
02:39:22,540 --> 02:39:24,220
Here we go with the last clip.

4754
02:39:24,440 --> 02:39:24,720
All right.

4755
02:39:24,740 --> 02:39:28,000
Some people have moved to old-fashioned flip

4756
02:39:28,000 --> 02:39:28,380
phones.

4757
02:39:28,900 --> 02:39:30,800
Larry, what do you think about that?

4758
02:39:31,060 --> 02:39:32,240
Is that a good solution?

4759
02:39:33,120 --> 02:39:35,520
You know, people have tried lots of solutions.

4760
02:39:35,720 --> 02:39:37,520
They've tried taking people up to the mountains

4761
02:39:37,520 --> 02:39:39,680
for a weekend without your phones at all.

4762
02:39:40,280 --> 02:39:42,180
They've tried having you get a flip phone

4763
02:39:42,180 --> 02:39:45,520
that basically acts as a dumb phone.

4764
02:39:46,080 --> 02:39:47,480
And none of it has worked.

4765
02:39:47,700 --> 02:39:51,540
Which is why this all feels so out

4766
02:39:51,540 --> 02:39:52,440
of our control.

4767
02:39:52,580 --> 02:39:53,480
You mentioned control.

4768
02:39:53,960 --> 02:39:57,880
We know that tech companies making this product

4769
02:39:57,880 --> 02:40:00,200
are doing everything they can to keep us

4770
02:40:00,200 --> 02:40:01,060
tied to that device.

4771
02:40:01,060 --> 02:40:02,920
So I can see, we talked about addiction,

4772
02:40:03,060 --> 02:40:04,800
I can see a path to quitting alcohol

4773
02:40:04,800 --> 02:40:05,520
or tobacco.

4774
02:40:05,880 --> 02:40:09,280
I do not see how we collectively separate

4775
02:40:09,280 --> 02:40:11,160
ourselves from this technology.

4776
02:40:11,160 --> 02:40:11,860
What are your thoughts?

4777
02:40:12,760 --> 02:40:14,980
I don't think we have to separate ourselves

4778
02:40:14,980 --> 02:40:16,020
from the technology.

4779
02:40:16,440 --> 02:40:18,180
I think awareness is critical.

4780
02:40:18,320 --> 02:40:20,000
And the first part of awareness is looking

4781
02:40:20,000 --> 02:40:23,440
at the screen time data and going, oh,

4782
02:40:23,460 --> 02:40:25,220
my God, I didn't realize I was on

4783
02:40:25,220 --> 02:40:25,880
so many hours.

4784
02:40:26,020 --> 02:40:27,520
What can I cut back on?

4785
02:40:28,100 --> 02:40:30,400
So what you have to do is recognize

4786
02:40:30,400 --> 02:40:32,780
that it's going to be uncomfortable for a

4787
02:40:32,780 --> 02:40:33,040
while.

4788
02:40:33,740 --> 02:40:36,000
But as long as you stick with it

4789
02:40:36,000 --> 02:40:38,420
and do those tech breaks where you get

4790
02:40:38,420 --> 02:40:40,580
to look at your phone every 15 to

4791
02:40:40,580 --> 02:40:43,440
30 minutes, you're going to feel like, oh,

4792
02:40:43,560 --> 02:40:44,900
okay, I'm in good shape.

4793
02:40:45,320 --> 02:40:48,200
I can focus for 30 minutes, talk to

4794
02:40:48,200 --> 02:40:51,840
my spouse, watch a movie, whatever, and it's

4795
02:40:51,840 --> 02:40:52,900
not going to make me crazy.

4796
02:40:53,900 --> 02:40:55,400
Yeah, this guy, I mean, this is not

4797
02:40:55,400 --> 02:40:55,840
new.

4798
02:40:55,840 --> 02:40:57,080
He's given me nothing.

4799
02:40:57,280 --> 02:41:00,800
I'm not excited by what he's saying.

4800
02:41:01,940 --> 02:41:04,140
That's because he doesn't have the phone in

4801
02:41:04,140 --> 02:41:04,640
the drawer.

4802
02:41:05,900 --> 02:41:07,340
He is all in.

4803
02:41:08,200 --> 02:41:09,540
He's also addicted.

4804
02:41:09,880 --> 02:41:11,680
Oh, yeah.

4805
02:41:12,120 --> 02:41:14,200
This is like talking, you know, just like

4806
02:41:14,200 --> 02:41:15,580
people.

4807
02:41:16,200 --> 02:41:19,700
Everybody's in denial about this problem, including the

4808
02:41:19,700 --> 02:41:20,040
expert.

4809
02:41:20,280 --> 02:41:22,320
Yeah, I'm going to cancel that invitation to

4810
02:41:22,320 --> 02:41:22,600
Rogan.

4811
02:41:22,600 --> 02:41:24,140
You just got uninvited, bro.

4812
02:41:26,840 --> 02:41:28,640
Now, that was a little disappointing because I

4813
02:41:28,640 --> 02:41:29,900
thought that he would have a lot more.

4814
02:41:29,980 --> 02:41:32,860
But this is not new information other than

4815
02:41:32,860 --> 02:41:34,300
he wrote a book about it.

4816
02:41:35,180 --> 02:41:36,120
Just stop it.

4817
02:41:36,460 --> 02:41:39,880
I mean, I leave my phone in the

4818
02:41:39,880 --> 02:41:40,240
studio.

4819
02:41:41,600 --> 02:41:44,460
And at a set time, you know, maybe,

4820
02:41:44,640 --> 02:41:47,840
I don't know, maybe after dinner, I'll go

4821
02:41:47,840 --> 02:41:48,320
take a look.

4822
02:41:48,400 --> 02:41:48,920
Is there anything now?

4823
02:41:48,920 --> 02:41:53,580
Okay, and that's usually just is anything that's

4824
02:41:53,580 --> 02:41:56,220
happening that's important, you know, with the show

4825
02:41:56,220 --> 02:41:56,780
or whatever.

4826
02:41:57,120 --> 02:41:58,820
But I try to keep everything in one

4827
02:41:58,820 --> 02:41:59,260
room.

4828
02:42:00,380 --> 02:42:01,580
And when I go out, all I have,

4829
02:42:01,720 --> 02:42:04,040
and when I go out, I'm only having,

4830
02:42:04,120 --> 02:42:04,860
I have the flip phone.

4831
02:42:05,280 --> 02:42:07,740
I will say I'm excited about the Light

4832
02:42:07,740 --> 02:42:10,420
Phone 3.

4833
02:42:11,520 --> 02:42:13,180
Is it the Light Phone 3 or the

4834
02:42:13,180 --> 02:42:13,620
Light Phone?

4835
02:42:14,000 --> 02:42:14,440
Hold on a second.

4836
02:42:14,500 --> 02:42:15,560
I pre-ordered one.

4837
02:42:15,560 --> 02:42:16,940
It should be shipping.

4838
02:42:18,400 --> 02:42:21,680
Because the problem with the flip phone is,

4839
02:42:22,320 --> 02:42:24,280
I mean, I might as well not text

4840
02:42:24,280 --> 02:42:30,620
because my writing has retarded significantly.

4841
02:42:31,960 --> 02:42:33,680
You know, the screen is small.

4842
02:42:33,900 --> 02:42:35,260
I don't see the mistakes.

4843
02:42:35,540 --> 02:42:37,200
There's some autocorrect in there.

4844
02:42:37,420 --> 02:42:40,640
And, of course, I have Dutch and English

4845
02:42:40,640 --> 02:42:43,940
dictionary, so it's throwing out entire words in

4846
02:42:43,940 --> 02:42:44,240
Dutch.

4847
02:42:44,240 --> 02:42:45,000
I don't see it.

4848
02:42:45,120 --> 02:42:45,820
It was just dumb.

4849
02:42:46,000 --> 02:42:48,900
I mean, people, I insult people without intending

4850
02:42:48,900 --> 02:42:50,640
to, like saying horrible things.

4851
02:42:51,900 --> 02:42:52,760
Oh, yeah, it's no good.

4852
02:42:52,780 --> 02:42:56,400
But the Light Phone 3, I really think

4853
02:42:56,400 --> 02:42:58,100
this might be the one.

4854
02:42:58,160 --> 02:43:00,180
I had the Light Phone 2, which is

4855
02:43:00,180 --> 02:43:03,280
really tiny and it has a, you know,

4856
02:43:03,420 --> 02:43:06,180
it's not easy to use.

4857
02:43:07,120 --> 02:43:09,460
The Light Phone 3 should be a good

4858
02:43:09,460 --> 02:43:10,400
texting machine.

4859
02:43:10,500 --> 02:43:11,380
And it has a camera.

4860
02:43:11,880 --> 02:43:12,520
I like that.

4861
02:43:12,520 --> 02:43:14,460
But you can't get the – there's no

4862
02:43:14,460 --> 02:43:16,240
web browser, there's no e-mail.

4863
02:43:16,720 --> 02:43:17,760
It has some of the things you need

4864
02:43:17,760 --> 02:43:24,500
a phone for, like navigation, handy, podcasts, hello,

4865
02:43:25,520 --> 02:43:30,520
music, phone, text, and I think that's it,

4866
02:43:30,720 --> 02:43:31,360
and a flashlight.

4867
02:43:32,220 --> 02:43:33,440
What more do you need in a phone?

4868
02:43:34,980 --> 02:43:35,560
I don't know.

4869
02:43:35,700 --> 02:43:36,640
Mine's in the drawer.

4870
02:43:37,400 --> 02:43:41,800
Well, you should write a book.

4871
02:43:43,380 --> 02:43:44,800
I don't know what I'd say.

4872
02:43:45,520 --> 02:43:46,780
A very short book.

4873
02:43:47,060 --> 02:43:48,060
Put your phone in a drawer.

4874
02:43:49,580 --> 02:43:51,820
Cold turkey, man, cold turkey.

4875
02:43:52,120 --> 02:43:53,840
All you need to do is put a

4876
02:43:53,840 --> 02:43:56,700
big gold star on the front, instant bestseller.

4877
02:43:56,880 --> 02:43:57,740
Instant bestseller.

4878
02:43:58,000 --> 02:43:59,240
It has one page.

4879
02:43:59,500 --> 02:44:01,380
Put your phone in a – no, oh,

4880
02:44:01,480 --> 02:44:02,080
you know what you do?

4881
02:44:02,660 --> 02:44:07,300
Remember our buddy, the Holobook guy, freeholobooks.com?

4882
02:44:07,920 --> 02:44:08,140
Yeah.

4883
02:44:08,400 --> 02:44:10,200
How to get rid of your phone addiction.

4884
02:44:10,580 --> 02:44:12,060
You open the book and you put your

4885
02:44:12,060 --> 02:44:12,480
phone in the book.

4886
02:44:12,480 --> 02:44:13,360
Put the phone in there.

4887
02:44:13,440 --> 02:44:14,240
And close it.

4888
02:44:14,500 --> 02:44:15,980
Now, that's a premium item.

4889
02:44:16,040 --> 02:44:19,020
And then put it up in the bookshelf.

4890
02:44:19,240 --> 02:44:21,540
Yeah, that's a good idea.

4891
02:44:22,560 --> 02:44:24,640
The ultimate guide to getting rid of your

4892
02:44:24,640 --> 02:44:24,920
phone.

4893
02:44:25,000 --> 02:44:26,840
And you open it up and it's just

4894
02:44:26,840 --> 02:44:27,320
a hole.

4895
02:44:28,080 --> 02:44:30,240
You put your phone in and put it

4896
02:44:30,240 --> 02:44:30,860
on the bookshelf.

4897
02:44:30,860 --> 02:44:34,760
That's a great gag gift, yeah.

4898
02:44:34,900 --> 02:44:36,060
Yeah, I think it's a good gift.

4899
02:44:36,200 --> 02:44:36,720
I like it.

4900
02:44:37,240 --> 02:44:40,160
Well, speaking of addiction, there's a lawsuit against

4901
02:44:40,160 --> 02:44:41,460
the major bookmakers.

4902
02:44:42,140 --> 02:44:45,680
These guys, they are – I think females,

4903
02:44:45,880 --> 02:44:47,640
women, girls, I think they get very addicted

4904
02:44:47,640 --> 02:44:50,940
to the social nature, the texting in particular

4905
02:44:50,940 --> 02:44:52,460
of the phone.

4906
02:44:53,100 --> 02:44:54,880
Young boys, ooh, boy.

4907
02:44:54,880 --> 02:44:59,480
In January of 2025 alone, Maryland bettors wagered

4908
02:44:59,480 --> 02:45:05,120
more than $457 million on DraftKings and FanDuel.

4909
02:45:05,580 --> 02:45:08,560
That's according to a new complaint filed Thursday

4910
02:45:08,560 --> 02:45:11,620
by the city of Baltimore against two sportsbooks

4911
02:45:11,620 --> 02:45:13,960
alleging misleading tactics.

4912
02:45:14,360 --> 02:45:16,980
They'll call me and say, like, we have

4913
02:45:16,980 --> 02:45:18,560
this promotion and blah, blah, blah.

4914
02:45:18,860 --> 02:45:20,260
And we see you haven't bet in a

4915
02:45:20,260 --> 02:45:21,660
while, so they do stuff like that, yeah.

4916
02:45:21,660 --> 02:45:24,920
The city accuses them of engaging in deceptive

4917
02:45:24,920 --> 02:45:29,260
and unfair practices to target and exploit vulnerable

4918
02:45:29,260 --> 02:45:33,680
Baltimore users, using algorithms to keep problem gamblers

4919
02:45:33,680 --> 02:45:37,700
betting, as well as misleading promotions like bonus

4920
02:45:37,700 --> 02:45:41,280
bets and no-sweat bets to create compulsive

4921
02:45:41,280 --> 02:45:42,560
gambling behavior.

4922
02:45:42,880 --> 02:45:45,840
The complaint reads, defendants are not interested in

4923
02:45:45,840 --> 02:45:48,280
people merely dipping their toes in the water.

4924
02:45:48,280 --> 02:45:51,440
They want bettors to bet in significant amounts

4925
02:45:51,440 --> 02:45:52,800
over and over.

4926
02:45:53,120 --> 02:45:55,500
Some get hooked, and that's the point.

4927
02:45:56,060 --> 02:45:58,280
The law firm representing the city tells 11

4928
02:45:58,280 --> 02:46:01,080
News the sportsbooks are in violation of the

4929
02:46:01,080 --> 02:46:02,420
Consumer Protection Ordinance.

4930
02:46:03,320 --> 02:46:05,920
If they don't see you wagering quickly enough,

4931
02:46:06,520 --> 02:46:08,500
they'll reach out to you and say, well,

4932
02:46:08,560 --> 02:46:09,800
you've been a little quiet.

4933
02:46:09,920 --> 02:46:11,360
We're going to put a couple hundred dollars

4934
02:46:11,360 --> 02:46:12,940
in your account, have at it.

4935
02:46:13,040 --> 02:46:15,680
So they do all these things to bring

4936
02:46:15,680 --> 02:46:17,360
you closer and closer to them.

4937
02:46:17,360 --> 02:46:20,240
The Maryland Center of Excellence on Problem Gambling

4938
02:46:20,240 --> 02:46:23,400
encourages folks to set a budget and time

4939
02:46:23,400 --> 02:46:27,040
limits before opening up a sports betting app.

4940
02:46:27,460 --> 02:46:29,580
Yeah, I believe this to be completely true.

4941
02:46:30,340 --> 02:46:33,000
I do, too, because it's a known fact

4942
02:46:33,000 --> 02:46:36,100
that people can easily be addicted to gambling.

4943
02:46:37,260 --> 02:46:39,560
I can't get this idea out of my

4944
02:46:39,560 --> 02:46:39,720
head.

4945
02:46:39,840 --> 02:46:41,620
You guys got a publishing company.

4946
02:46:41,700 --> 02:46:43,480
You got toomanyeggs.com.

4947
02:46:43,740 --> 02:46:44,840
Let's do a book.

4948
02:46:44,840 --> 02:46:46,260
Here's the book I want to do with

4949
02:46:46,260 --> 02:46:46,580
you.

4950
02:46:47,320 --> 02:46:48,620
Adam Curry, John C.

4951
02:46:48,680 --> 02:46:51,340
Dvorak, The No Agenda Show, Guide to Getting

4952
02:46:51,340 --> 02:46:52,920
Rid of Your Phone Addiction.

4953
02:46:53,880 --> 02:46:55,240
You're back on that.

4954
02:46:55,420 --> 02:46:56,800
Yes, it's a great idea.

4955
02:46:57,060 --> 02:46:57,600
It'd be a hollow book.

4956
02:46:57,740 --> 02:47:00,320
Yes, this is one you can actually execute

4957
02:47:00,320 --> 02:47:00,700
on.

4958
02:47:01,920 --> 02:47:04,160
Well, the problem with the hollow book is

4959
02:47:04,160 --> 02:47:06,280
it's mass-producing the hollow book.

4960
02:47:06,760 --> 02:47:08,060
It's not a problem.

4961
02:47:09,000 --> 02:47:10,200
I think it is.

4962
02:47:12,600 --> 02:47:13,600
You're so lazy.

4963
02:47:14,060 --> 02:47:15,920
No, it's not a matter of laziness in

4964
02:47:15,920 --> 02:47:16,380
this case.

4965
02:47:16,880 --> 02:47:18,920
Besides that, Jay does all the work for

4966
02:47:18,920 --> 02:47:20,200
that publishing company, not me.

4967
02:47:20,300 --> 02:47:21,320
Well, tell Jay about it.

4968
02:47:21,320 --> 02:47:22,820
She's not lazy, I can assure you.

4969
02:47:22,820 --> 02:47:24,060
Tell Jay about it.

4970
02:47:26,360 --> 02:47:29,720
I'm telling you right in advance that unless

4971
02:47:29,720 --> 02:47:31,400
we can find somebody in China, which is

4972
02:47:31,400 --> 02:47:34,580
now going to be impossible, can do hollow

4973
02:47:34,580 --> 02:47:37,020
books and mass-produce them, because that would

4974
02:47:37,020 --> 02:47:39,660
sell at least anywhere from 5,000 to

4975
02:47:39,660 --> 02:47:43,140
25,000 copies, depending on what time of

4976
02:47:43,140 --> 02:47:43,800
the year it is.

4977
02:47:44,900 --> 02:47:47,960
This is a crazy thought, just a crazy

4978
02:47:47,960 --> 02:47:48,260
thought.

4979
02:47:48,400 --> 02:47:48,700
Ready?

4980
02:47:48,820 --> 02:47:49,880
I'm going to blow you away with my

4981
02:47:49,880 --> 02:47:50,580
crazy thought.

4982
02:47:51,720 --> 02:47:55,080
I am convinced, without even doing the research,

4983
02:47:55,480 --> 02:47:58,720
that there is an American company that can

4984
02:47:58,720 --> 02:48:01,080
do these at scale, and they'd be happy

4985
02:48:01,080 --> 02:48:01,380
to.

4986
02:48:01,640 --> 02:48:04,140
And someone knows them, and they're listening to

4987
02:48:04,140 --> 02:48:05,460
this show right now.

4988
02:48:05,840 --> 02:48:06,300
Okay.

4989
02:48:06,500 --> 02:48:07,880
We're America, man.

4990
02:48:08,680 --> 02:48:09,540
We don't need China.

4991
02:48:09,540 --> 02:48:11,700
We're good at messaging through this show for

4992
02:48:11,700 --> 02:48:12,520
marketing purposes.

4993
02:48:12,660 --> 02:48:13,040
We will sell.

4994
02:48:13,040 --> 02:48:13,880
There's no doubt about it.

4995
02:48:14,020 --> 02:48:15,760
We will sell, sell, sell.

4996
02:48:15,960 --> 02:48:16,320
Sell.

4997
02:48:16,940 --> 02:48:18,100
Sell, I tell you.

4998
02:48:19,360 --> 02:48:21,660
And if not, we'll always get our guy

4999
02:48:21,660 --> 02:48:24,640
Rutte to sell for us, because, man, he

5000
02:48:24,640 --> 02:48:26,380
is still out there selling us.

5001
02:48:26,680 --> 02:48:29,520
As I said last week in Warsaw, I

5002
02:48:29,520 --> 02:48:31,320
know there has been some tough language.

5003
02:48:32,140 --> 02:48:34,660
I know that there have been allies, for

5004
02:48:34,660 --> 02:48:36,500
example, on this side of the pond, being

5005
02:48:36,500 --> 02:48:39,840
worried about the long-term commitment of the

5006
02:48:39,840 --> 02:48:40,580
U.S. to NATO.

5007
02:48:41,820 --> 02:48:43,620
And I was in the White House, but

5008
02:48:43,620 --> 02:48:45,420
before I went to the White House, we

5009
02:48:45,420 --> 02:48:47,820
had President Macron there and Prime Minister Starmer,

5010
02:48:48,220 --> 02:48:49,760
and on so many other occasions.

5011
02:48:50,020 --> 02:48:50,800
Don't worry.

5012
02:48:50,980 --> 02:48:52,800
The U.S. is not going to leave

5013
02:48:52,800 --> 02:48:53,280
NATO.

5014
02:48:53,720 --> 02:48:55,740
The Americans have stated again and again, we

5015
02:48:55,740 --> 02:48:57,500
are committed to NATO, we are committed to

5016
02:48:57,500 --> 02:48:58,620
Article 5.

5017
02:48:59,240 --> 02:49:04,480
This commitment comes with a clear expectation, Spend

5018
02:49:04,480 --> 02:49:05,700
more on our stuff.

5019
02:49:05,920 --> 02:49:08,460
On this side of the Atlantic and Canada,

5020
02:49:08,580 --> 02:49:11,280
we will spend more, commit that we will

5021
02:49:11,280 --> 02:49:14,380
deliver on the 2%, and then move upwards

5022
02:49:14,380 --> 02:49:17,160
because of these gaps we still have in

5023
02:49:17,160 --> 02:49:17,680
this part.

5024
02:49:18,220 --> 02:49:19,240
5%, everybody.

5025
02:49:19,540 --> 02:49:22,000
Of NATO to deliver on all the targets.

5026
02:49:22,120 --> 02:49:23,220
And that's the process we are in the

5027
02:49:23,220 --> 02:49:23,580
middle of.

5028
02:49:23,740 --> 02:49:25,780
And in the meantime, the hundreds of billions

5029
02:49:25,780 --> 02:49:28,220
are rolling in as we speak.

5030
02:49:30,780 --> 02:49:33,220
This is, this is, he has brown shoes.

5031
02:49:33,220 --> 02:49:35,240
They say the hundreds of billions are what?

5032
02:49:35,360 --> 02:49:38,640
The hundreds of billions are rolling in as

5033
02:49:38,640 --> 02:49:39,300
we speak.

5034
02:49:39,740 --> 02:49:40,500
It's great.

5035
02:49:40,660 --> 02:49:42,680
In the meantime, the hundreds of billions are

5036
02:49:42,680 --> 02:49:44,620
rolling in as we speak.

5037
02:49:44,760 --> 02:49:45,900
Where are they rolling into?

5038
02:49:46,040 --> 02:49:47,960
That will continue, no doubt, over the coming

5039
02:49:47,960 --> 02:49:50,800
days and weeks is my expectation.

5040
02:49:51,680 --> 02:49:53,840
And we have to do this because of

5041
02:49:53,840 --> 02:49:54,600
the Russian threat.

5042
02:49:54,840 --> 02:49:54,960
No.

5043
02:49:54,960 --> 02:49:56,720
And because of the increasing China.

5044
02:49:56,940 --> 02:49:57,960
Russia, China.

5045
02:49:58,640 --> 02:49:59,160
Threat.

5046
02:49:59,620 --> 02:50:02,240
So let's not be naive about that.

5047
02:50:02,240 --> 02:50:02,540
No.

5048
02:50:03,460 --> 02:50:07,920
But I'm absolutely convinced this alliance is there

5049
02:50:07,920 --> 02:50:09,740
to stay with the US.

5050
02:50:09,860 --> 02:50:11,280
Their commitment is absolutely clear.

5051
02:50:12,800 --> 02:50:15,340
We want to do more together in the

5052
02:50:15,340 --> 02:50:16,060
Pacific even.

5053
02:50:16,440 --> 02:50:19,340
And we want to work on many issues,

5054
02:50:19,440 --> 02:50:20,340
including in the Arctic.

5055
02:50:20,700 --> 02:50:21,900
And I think that is also positive.

5056
02:50:22,820 --> 02:50:27,940
NATO is North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but we're

5057
02:50:27,940 --> 02:50:29,080
going to do more in the Pacific.

5058
02:50:29,080 --> 02:50:34,580
So it will be IPTO, IPTO, a new

5059
02:50:34,580 --> 02:50:42,040
organization, IPTO, Indo-Pacific Trade Organization, something.

5060
02:50:42,600 --> 02:50:42,860
Okay.

5061
02:50:43,260 --> 02:50:44,880
And remember, there's more.

5062
02:50:45,080 --> 02:50:47,180
When it comes to China.

5063
02:50:47,460 --> 02:50:47,840
China.

5064
02:50:48,700 --> 02:50:50,060
It's important.

5065
02:50:50,760 --> 02:50:52,600
Let's be totally clear about this.

5066
02:50:52,660 --> 02:50:53,160
Yes, be clear.

5067
02:50:53,220 --> 02:50:56,160
We know that they help and support the

5068
02:50:56,160 --> 02:50:59,380
Russia's war efforts through war effort, through sanctions

5069
02:50:59,380 --> 02:51:02,620
or conventions, through delivery of dual use goods.

5070
02:51:03,160 --> 02:51:05,020
So they are an integral part of the

5071
02:51:05,020 --> 02:51:05,460
war effort.

5072
02:51:05,620 --> 02:51:06,480
And now North Korea.

5073
02:51:06,660 --> 02:51:07,200
Oh, no.

5074
02:51:07,340 --> 02:51:08,720
Sending its soldiers to Europe.

5075
02:51:08,820 --> 02:51:09,100
Oh, no.

5076
02:51:09,100 --> 02:51:09,900
To fight a war here.

5077
02:51:10,040 --> 02:51:10,440
Oh, no.

5078
02:51:10,500 --> 02:51:13,020
We know that Russians are repaying them, not

5079
02:51:13,020 --> 02:51:15,260
only with money, but also with technology, which.

5080
02:51:15,500 --> 02:51:16,100
And hookers.

5081
02:51:16,400 --> 02:51:18,160
In the end is also posing a threat

5082
02:51:18,160 --> 02:51:20,340
to the United States and to the whole

5083
02:51:20,340 --> 02:51:22,500
of NATO territory and to the Indo-Pacific.

5084
02:51:22,620 --> 02:51:23,020
Oh, no.

5085
02:51:24,120 --> 02:51:26,780
Iran involved, very much involved, and getting money

5086
02:51:26,780 --> 02:51:28,180
from the Russians, by which they then.

5087
02:51:28,380 --> 02:51:28,640
Wait, wait.

5088
02:51:28,740 --> 02:51:30,600
The Russians are giving money to Iran?

5089
02:51:30,920 --> 02:51:33,340
Can stir up even more trouble in the

5090
02:51:33,340 --> 02:51:35,800
Middle East, as the Iranians love to do

5091
02:51:35,800 --> 02:51:38,940
directly and through their proxies in Lebanon.

5092
02:51:39,340 --> 02:51:41,880
Man, this guy just can't stop talking.

5093
02:51:42,020 --> 02:51:42,550
He's the best.

5094
02:51:43,060 --> 02:51:43,800
He's the best.

5095
02:51:43,960 --> 02:51:45,780
He's a yak machine.

5096
02:51:46,360 --> 02:51:47,880
Proxies in Gaza and Lebanon.

5097
02:51:48,200 --> 02:51:50,860
So this is really a global issue.

5098
02:51:51,460 --> 02:51:51,740
Global.

5099
02:51:52,200 --> 02:51:52,640
Global.

5100
02:51:52,880 --> 02:51:53,820
And when it comes to MH17, this is

5101
02:51:53,820 --> 02:51:55,480
very close to my heart and many in

5102
02:51:55,480 --> 02:51:58,140
my country and in Australia, because, as you

5103
02:51:58,140 --> 02:51:59,380
know, Australia was the second.

5104
02:51:59,580 --> 02:52:01,560
Now he's bringing in MH17.

5105
02:52:01,740 --> 02:52:03,500
As you know, the Russians killed all those

5106
02:52:03,500 --> 02:52:04,860
people on MH17.

5107
02:52:05,220 --> 02:52:06,420
Not conclusive.

5108
02:52:07,040 --> 02:52:10,440
Hardest hit country with many people dying in

5109
02:52:10,440 --> 02:52:16,120
MH17, in that terrible disaster on the 17th

5110
02:52:16,120 --> 02:52:18,060
of July, 2014.

5111
02:52:18,260 --> 02:52:19,820
196 from my country.

5112
02:52:20,540 --> 02:52:22,640
And that means that I'm now not in

5113
02:52:22,640 --> 02:52:24,400
the national government, but this is clearly a

5114
02:52:24,400 --> 02:52:27,200
position the Dutch government has always stated, and

5115
02:52:27,200 --> 02:52:28,620
I have no reason to think that has

5116
02:52:28,620 --> 02:52:28,940
changed.

5117
02:52:29,160 --> 02:52:29,460
Okay.

5118
02:52:29,980 --> 02:52:30,500
Wonderful.

5119
02:52:31,440 --> 02:52:34,300
So he brings up the threats, many threats.

5120
02:52:34,840 --> 02:52:37,120
And Netanyahu was in Hungary, and he talked

5121
02:52:37,120 --> 02:52:38,080
about some threats.

5122
02:52:38,940 --> 02:52:40,680
And it's the H3.

5123
02:52:41,040 --> 02:52:42,560
H3 is the new threat.

5124
02:52:42,760 --> 02:52:45,660
But I would say that our cooperation goes

5125
02:52:45,660 --> 02:52:47,680
deeper than that, because I believe we are

5126
02:52:47,680 --> 02:52:50,620
fighting a similar battle for the future of

5127
02:52:50,620 --> 02:52:52,260
our common civilization.

5128
02:52:53,020 --> 02:52:56,680
Our Judeo-Christian civilization, Western civilization, as we

5129
02:52:56,680 --> 02:52:57,320
understand it.

5130
02:52:57,880 --> 02:53:01,040
It's under assault right now for one powerful

5131
02:53:01,040 --> 02:53:03,260
quarter, and that's radical Islam.

5132
02:53:03,820 --> 02:53:05,860
Radical Islam in the Middle East is spearheaded

5133
02:53:05,860 --> 02:53:06,980
by one country.

5134
02:53:07,260 --> 02:53:07,920
That's Iran.

5135
02:53:08,340 --> 02:53:09,500
It has proxies.

5136
02:53:09,940 --> 02:53:13,940
The 3 H's, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and

5137
02:53:13,940 --> 02:53:14,240
others.

5138
02:53:14,820 --> 02:53:19,560
But the center, the pulsating engine, is Iran.

5139
02:53:19,560 --> 02:53:24,220
We were attacked by Iran's proxies in a

5140
02:53:24,220 --> 02:53:27,840
murderous campaign by a Hamas terrorist who raped

5141
02:53:27,840 --> 02:53:30,260
our women, beheaded our men, burnt our babies,

5142
02:53:30,700 --> 02:53:31,480
and took hostages.

5143
02:53:31,780 --> 02:53:34,860
We're committed to bring back home all of

5144
02:53:34,860 --> 02:53:40,500
them, including a hostage of Hungarian citizenship, Omri.

5145
02:53:40,740 --> 02:53:41,720
We discussed this.

5146
02:53:42,020 --> 02:53:43,580
We'll bring them back, all of them.

5147
02:53:43,740 --> 02:53:47,080
But we will smash the Iranian axis, the

5148
02:53:47,080 --> 02:53:49,460
Iranian terror axis, which threatens not only us

5149
02:53:49,460 --> 02:53:52,780
but Europe and many of our neighbors in

5150
02:53:52,780 --> 02:53:53,360
the Middle East.

5151
02:53:53,660 --> 02:53:55,100
We're committed to doing so.

5152
02:53:55,640 --> 02:53:57,600
And by doing that, we are also protecting

5153
02:53:57,600 --> 02:53:57,960
Europe.

5154
02:53:58,420 --> 02:53:59,820
Maybe there are some in Europe who don't

5155
02:53:59,820 --> 02:54:02,500
understand this, but Viktor Orban understands it.

5156
02:54:02,820 --> 02:54:04,960
He understands this common battle for our values,

5157
02:54:05,260 --> 02:54:07,640
for our interests, and for our common security.

5158
02:54:07,940 --> 02:54:09,180
And I want to thank you for that.

5159
02:54:09,400 --> 02:54:13,940
Well, Hungary has no worry about radical Islam

5160
02:54:13,940 --> 02:54:15,420
because they just didn't let him in like

5161
02:54:15,420 --> 02:54:16,160
the rest of Europe.

5162
02:54:16,160 --> 02:54:17,260
I was talking to Christina.

5163
02:54:17,380 --> 02:54:18,660
She's moving out of Rotterdam.

5164
02:54:19,460 --> 02:54:20,120
She can't take it.

5165
02:54:20,280 --> 02:54:20,500
Where is she going to go?

5166
02:54:21,380 --> 02:54:21,880
Zandam.

5167
02:54:23,260 --> 02:54:23,760
Zandam.

5168
02:54:24,120 --> 02:54:24,840
Zandam, yeah.

5169
02:54:25,060 --> 02:54:26,980
She says, I can't take it anymore.

5170
02:54:28,220 --> 02:54:30,020
She says, it's just not fun walking on

5171
02:54:30,020 --> 02:54:32,080
the street as a woman.

5172
02:54:33,580 --> 02:54:37,340
And it's not radical Islam, but it's definitely

5173
02:54:37,340 --> 02:54:38,480
Moroccans.

5174
02:54:40,760 --> 02:54:41,620
She says, it's too much.

5175
02:54:41,620 --> 02:54:45,800
Moroccan horndogs are the radical Islam.

5176
02:54:46,300 --> 02:54:46,400
No.

5177
02:54:46,460 --> 02:54:47,160
Just the opposite.

5178
02:54:47,400 --> 02:54:48,820
But, you know, we have had a couple

5179
02:54:48,820 --> 02:54:51,380
of interesting things happen in the Netherlands, in

5180
02:54:51,380 --> 02:54:51,740
Amsterdam.

5181
02:54:52,740 --> 02:54:54,360
We had a guy just – and this

5182
02:54:54,360 --> 02:54:55,520
was a Ukrainian, I think.

5183
02:54:55,840 --> 02:54:57,380
He decided to go stab a bunch of

5184
02:54:57,380 --> 02:54:57,720
people.

5185
02:54:58,120 --> 02:55:00,640
Then some other dude drove his car onto

5186
02:55:00,640 --> 02:55:03,760
the damn square and exploded it, lit it

5187
02:55:03,760 --> 02:55:05,400
on fire, and he was on fire.

5188
02:55:06,940 --> 02:55:09,380
People are losing their ever-loving minds over

5189
02:55:09,380 --> 02:55:09,560
there.

5190
02:55:09,560 --> 02:55:12,280
Now, the reason why Netanyahu was able to

5191
02:55:12,280 --> 02:55:16,060
go there is because Hungary has renounced the

5192
02:55:16,060 --> 02:55:17,380
International Criminal Court.

5193
02:55:17,700 --> 02:55:20,940
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing an

5194
02:55:20,940 --> 02:55:24,440
international arrest warrant, and yet he received a

5195
02:55:24,440 --> 02:55:27,440
red carpet welcome in Budapest by Prime Minister

5196
02:55:27,440 --> 02:55:31,140
Viktor Orban, breaking the country's obligation to bring

5197
02:55:31,140 --> 02:55:32,060
him into custody.

5198
02:55:33,140 --> 02:55:35,880
Orban subsequently said he would quit the International

5199
02:55:35,880 --> 02:55:36,780
Criminal Court.

5200
02:55:36,780 --> 02:55:39,100
I was the prime minister who signed the

5201
02:55:39,100 --> 02:55:41,960
document to join the ICC in 2000, and

5202
02:55:41,960 --> 02:55:43,360
I was the one who signed the document

5203
02:55:43,360 --> 02:55:44,980
to leave it in the past few days.

5204
02:55:45,480 --> 02:55:47,240
It is our conviction that in recent years

5205
02:55:47,240 --> 02:55:49,480
it has become not a neutral legal court,

5206
02:55:49,580 --> 02:55:50,720
but a political court.

5207
02:55:51,580 --> 02:55:54,320
Netanyahu is wanted by the ICC for alleged

5208
02:55:54,320 --> 02:55:57,420
war crimes and crimes against humanity in the

5209
02:55:57,420 --> 02:56:00,940
Gaza Strip, including starvation as a method of

5210
02:56:00,940 --> 02:56:04,720
warfare, murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.

5211
02:56:04,720 --> 02:56:07,700
His trip to Budapest is highly symbolic at

5212
02:56:07,700 --> 02:56:09,900
a time when his army is expanding its

5213
02:56:09,900 --> 02:56:12,100
military operations in the enclave.

5214
02:56:12,520 --> 02:56:14,420
He is expected to spend four days meeting

5215
02:56:14,420 --> 02:56:16,540
with officials trying to garner support.

5216
02:56:17,100 --> 02:56:20,180
Standing alongside Orban, he too criticised the ICC,

5217
02:56:20,800 --> 02:56:23,460
saying Israel is fighting a just war with

5218
02:56:23,460 --> 02:56:24,380
just means.

5219
02:56:24,680 --> 02:56:26,360
He hailed Hungary's decision.

5220
02:56:27,160 --> 02:56:29,900
Viktor Orban, did you visit Epstein Island?

5221
02:56:31,380 --> 02:56:32,800
They got something on him.

5222
02:56:33,580 --> 02:56:34,800
Well, I'll tell you this.

5223
02:56:36,080 --> 02:56:38,260
Netanyahu's got an issue here with what happened

5224
02:56:38,260 --> 02:56:44,360
to these Red Crescent people that were basically

5225
02:56:44,360 --> 02:56:49,600
killed illegally by the IDF forces.

5226
02:56:49,660 --> 02:56:50,940
I have a clip of this because it

5227
02:56:50,940 --> 02:56:53,480
became a big topic on the BBC and

5228
02:56:53,480 --> 02:56:53,900
elsewhere.

5229
02:56:54,260 --> 02:56:54,780
Okay.

5230
02:56:55,420 --> 02:56:57,140
Where is this clip?

5231
02:57:01,080 --> 02:57:02,360
I don't see it.

5232
02:57:02,360 --> 02:57:04,300
Yeah, Israel workers scandal.

5233
02:57:04,720 --> 02:57:05,440
Okay.

5234
02:57:05,980 --> 02:57:08,880
The Israeli military has admitted its soldiers made

5235
02:57:08,880 --> 02:57:11,960
mistakes over the killings of 15 emergency workers

5236
02:57:11,960 --> 02:57:15,100
in Gaza after footage emerged casting doubt on

5237
02:57:15,100 --> 02:57:16,200
its version of events.

5238
02:57:16,820 --> 02:57:18,960
The convoy came under fire near Rafah last

5239
02:57:18,960 --> 02:57:19,300
week.

5240
02:57:19,960 --> 02:57:22,840
Israel had initially said the vehicles approached suspiciously

5241
02:57:22,840 --> 02:57:25,720
in darkness without headlights or emergency lights.

5242
02:57:26,220 --> 02:57:28,480
The video filmed by a paramedic killed in

5243
02:57:28,480 --> 02:57:31,000
the shooting appeared to contradict those claims.

5244
02:57:31,000 --> 02:57:32,860
Alfie Tobert reports.

5245
02:57:33,560 --> 02:57:36,280
The footage published by the Palestine Red Crescent

5246
02:57:36,280 --> 02:57:39,960
Society shows clearly marked vehicles with their headlights

5247
02:57:39,960 --> 02:57:41,760
and emergency lights on.

5248
02:57:42,180 --> 02:57:43,900
At least one of the workers is wearing

5249
02:57:43,900 --> 02:57:45,120
a reflective uniform.

5250
02:57:45,900 --> 02:57:48,720
It appears to contradict the Israeli military's original

5251
02:57:48,720 --> 02:57:51,880
explanation for why it opened fire just seconds

5252
02:57:51,880 --> 02:57:52,280
later.

5253
02:57:52,840 --> 02:57:55,440
At a briefing, an Israeli official admitted that

5254
02:57:55,440 --> 02:57:56,620
account was inaccurate.

5255
02:57:57,300 --> 02:57:59,540
They said the soldiers had earlier fired at

5256
02:57:59,540 --> 02:58:01,660
a car containing three Hamas members.

5257
02:58:02,260 --> 02:58:04,820
And when the emergency convoy stopped nearby, the

5258
02:58:04,820 --> 02:58:06,700
troops assumed they were under threat.

5259
02:58:07,220 --> 02:58:09,560
Israel maintains at least six of the medics

5260
02:58:09,560 --> 02:58:11,500
were linked to Hamas, but it's not yet

5261
02:58:11,500 --> 02:58:13,400
provided evidence to back up that claim.

5262
02:58:14,800 --> 02:58:17,300
They're certainly fulfilling the prophecy of all the

5263
02:58:17,300 --> 02:58:18,480
nations hating Israel.

5264
02:58:18,680 --> 02:58:21,440
That is moving along just splendidly.

5265
02:58:21,460 --> 02:58:23,380
Well, that brings me to an Ask Adam.

5266
02:58:23,460 --> 02:58:24,440
I'm glad you said that.

5267
02:58:25,920 --> 02:58:27,040
Ask Adam.

5268
02:58:27,580 --> 02:58:28,340
Answer the question.

5269
02:58:28,480 --> 02:58:28,680
Go.

5270
02:58:28,680 --> 02:58:29,320
All right.

5271
02:58:29,420 --> 02:58:30,200
What's the question?

5272
02:58:30,900 --> 02:58:34,980
Well, the question is, what is this all

5273
02:58:34,980 --> 02:58:35,480
about?

5274
02:58:35,680 --> 02:58:36,600
Because I don't get it.

5275
02:58:36,660 --> 02:58:38,500
I figure maybe Adam knows.

5276
02:58:39,180 --> 02:58:42,180
This woman, this TikToker comes out with this

5277
02:58:42,180 --> 02:58:44,380
commentary and then just ends it.

5278
02:58:44,720 --> 02:58:46,640
And I don't know what the hell she's

5279
02:58:46,640 --> 02:58:47,360
talking about.

5280
02:58:47,900 --> 02:58:55,020
Okay, so 144,000 Jewish virgin males.

5281
02:58:55,020 --> 02:58:59,220
They're all men from the 12 tribes.

5282
02:59:00,040 --> 02:59:02,260
During the three days of darkness, they will

5283
02:59:02,260 --> 02:59:02,840
be activated.

5284
02:59:03,540 --> 02:59:04,700
That's what they are.

5285
02:59:05,020 --> 02:59:09,040
Jewish male virgins from the 12 tribes.

5286
02:59:09,540 --> 02:59:10,180
Thank you.

5287
02:59:11,200 --> 02:59:13,160
Well, you've stumped me.

5288
02:59:14,580 --> 02:59:18,000
The three days of darkness and the 144

5289
02:59:18,000 --> 02:59:19,940
,000 Jewish virgins.

5290
02:59:20,720 --> 02:59:23,120
What are she talking about?

5291
02:59:23,120 --> 02:59:25,220
I do not recall reading this in my

5292
02:59:25,220 --> 02:59:25,560
Bible.

5293
02:59:25,700 --> 02:59:27,260
But I will inquire for you.

5294
02:59:27,460 --> 02:59:31,020
I will go to my theologian expert and

5295
02:59:31,020 --> 02:59:31,860
friend, Pastor Jimmy.

5296
02:59:32,040 --> 02:59:32,560
I'll ask him about it.

5297
02:59:32,560 --> 02:59:35,680
I actually thought you might know this right

5298
02:59:35,680 --> 02:59:36,700
off the top of your head.

5299
02:59:36,760 --> 02:59:38,180
That would be excellent if I did.

5300
02:59:38,360 --> 02:59:40,440
I would be, but I guess I was

5301
02:59:40,440 --> 02:59:40,820
wrong.

5302
02:59:41,640 --> 02:59:44,660
Well, is it the 12 from the 12

5303
02:59:44,660 --> 02:59:45,160
somehow?

5304
02:59:45,360 --> 02:59:46,960
You don't have to try to figure it

5305
02:59:46,960 --> 02:59:47,100
out.

5306
02:59:47,300 --> 02:59:47,860
Just ask.

5307
02:59:48,380 --> 02:59:48,960
I will.

5308
02:59:48,960 --> 02:59:51,340
Now, I do have some clips on child

5309
02:59:51,340 --> 02:59:52,740
labor laws being back.

5310
02:59:52,880 --> 02:59:54,960
Child labor being back is a thing.

5311
02:59:55,180 --> 02:59:56,220
You mean in your house?

5312
02:59:57,640 --> 02:59:59,120
It's always been a thing in my house.

5313
02:59:59,140 --> 03:00:01,080
You've always been for child labor in the

5314
03:00:01,080 --> 03:00:01,500
family.

5315
03:00:02,160 --> 03:00:03,800
I think child labor is a good thing.

5316
03:00:03,900 --> 03:00:05,240
When I was a kid, I was a

5317
03:00:05,240 --> 03:00:05,840
paper boy.

5318
03:00:06,300 --> 03:00:07,920
When I was a little kid, and then

5319
03:00:07,920 --> 03:00:10,240
as I got older, I worked every summer.

5320
03:00:10,440 --> 03:00:12,740
No, no, that's not what I'm talking about.

5321
03:00:13,440 --> 03:00:14,980
In the history of the show, I could

5322
03:00:14,980 --> 03:00:16,260
look it up, but just trust me.

5323
03:00:16,260 --> 03:00:18,980
You have said, no, no, you got to

5324
03:00:18,980 --> 03:00:20,520
put the kids to work for the family

5325
03:00:20,520 --> 03:00:22,560
business, and you do, and you do.

5326
03:00:22,740 --> 03:00:23,580
You always have.

5327
03:00:24,300 --> 03:00:27,700
Jay and Buzzkill Jr. both have worked, and

5328
03:00:27,700 --> 03:00:29,740
she still works for the family business, and

5329
03:00:29,740 --> 03:00:30,740
I think it's great.

5330
03:00:30,880 --> 03:00:33,640
It's like you're a farmer, just not a

5331
03:00:33,640 --> 03:00:33,840
crop.

5332
03:00:34,100 --> 03:00:34,460
Exactly.

5333
03:00:34,660 --> 03:00:35,460
You're a book farmer.

5334
03:00:35,460 --> 03:00:37,260
I am a farmer in spirit.

5335
03:00:38,920 --> 03:00:39,520
Book farmer.

5336
03:00:40,140 --> 03:00:41,380
So here's the thing.

5337
03:00:41,900 --> 03:00:44,900
This clip's about they've tried to change some

5338
03:00:44,900 --> 03:00:46,640
of these laws because they don't want kids

5339
03:00:46,640 --> 03:00:48,500
working, even though it's legal at some point.

5340
03:00:48,560 --> 03:00:51,440
When I was a kid, I remember being

5341
03:00:51,440 --> 03:00:53,680
in, I think it was the eighth grade

5342
03:00:53,680 --> 03:00:57,060
or high school, where if you were 15,

5343
03:00:57,320 --> 03:00:59,420
I think you could be 15, and all

5344
03:00:59,420 --> 03:01:01,220
you need is a note from the high

5345
03:01:01,220 --> 03:01:04,600
school called a work permit, and you could

5346
03:01:04,600 --> 03:01:04,960
work.

5347
03:01:05,640 --> 03:01:07,020
Like you wanted to work part-time during

5348
03:01:07,020 --> 03:01:09,140
the week or whatever, and it was no

5349
03:01:09,140 --> 03:01:09,580
big deal.

5350
03:01:09,660 --> 03:01:12,000
In fact, everyone relished these jobs because all

5351
03:01:12,000 --> 03:01:14,020
the kids, I mean, not all the kids

5352
03:01:14,020 --> 03:01:15,200
worked, but I was one of them.

5353
03:01:15,200 --> 03:01:18,120
I always worked, and when I did, I

5354
03:01:18,120 --> 03:01:18,800
always had more.

5355
03:01:18,980 --> 03:01:21,100
I had money, and it's a big deal

5356
03:01:21,100 --> 03:01:23,060
to have some cash on hand.

5357
03:01:23,200 --> 03:01:24,940
When you have money, you can get girls.

5358
03:01:25,640 --> 03:01:26,520
Yeah, you get the girls.

5359
03:01:27,340 --> 03:01:29,880
So let's listen to these clips.

5360
03:01:30,360 --> 03:01:32,800
Some states have been loosening the rules around

5361
03:01:32,800 --> 03:01:35,120
how much teens should be allowed to work

5362
03:01:35,120 --> 03:01:37,540
on the job, and the Republican-led Florida

5363
03:01:37,540 --> 03:01:40,940
legislature is debating questions like whether 14-year

5364
03:01:40,940 --> 03:01:43,700
-olds can have jobs or how late bosses

5365
03:01:43,700 --> 03:01:45,840
can ask 16-year-olds to work on

5366
03:01:45,840 --> 03:01:46,480
school nights.

5367
03:01:47,000 --> 03:01:49,860
In Tallahassee, WFSU's Tristan Wood reports.

5368
03:01:50,620 --> 03:01:53,040
One proposal would allow 16-year-olds to

5369
03:01:53,040 --> 03:01:54,980
work more than the current 30-hour-a

5370
03:01:54,980 --> 03:01:58,300
-week cap, including longer days and later hours,

5371
03:01:58,420 --> 03:01:59,540
even on school nights.

5372
03:02:00,060 --> 03:02:02,380
Another would loosen some limits on 14-year

5373
03:02:02,380 --> 03:02:05,680
-olds working if they're in homeschool, virtual education,

5374
03:02:05,820 --> 03:02:06,880
or already graduated.

5375
03:02:07,520 --> 03:02:09,480
One of the bills is sponsored by Tampa

5376
03:02:09,480 --> 03:02:11,540
Republican State Senator Jay Collins.

5377
03:02:11,540 --> 03:02:14,480
He says it is about parental rights and

5378
03:02:14,480 --> 03:02:16,320
giving children more access to jobs.

5379
03:02:16,740 --> 03:02:20,220
I believe that parents are best suited to

5380
03:02:20,220 --> 03:02:22,380
take care of their kids and manage their

5381
03:02:22,380 --> 03:02:24,360
schedules and make sure that they're doing what's

5382
03:02:24,360 --> 03:02:24,920
best for them.

5383
03:02:25,340 --> 03:02:26,860
I don't understand why the state needs to

5384
03:02:26,860 --> 03:02:29,440
go beyond the federal regulations in this case.

5385
03:02:29,660 --> 03:02:32,620
Federal laws are weaker, but Florida already loosened

5386
03:02:32,620 --> 03:02:35,240
some child labor laws last year, and the

5387
03:02:35,240 --> 03:02:36,100
state isn't alone.

5388
03:02:36,100 --> 03:02:38,780
Nina Mast is a policy and economic analyst

5389
03:02:38,780 --> 03:02:42,800
at the Washington-based Economic Policy Institute, which

5390
03:02:42,800 --> 03:02:44,840
seeks to improve wages for working people.

5391
03:02:45,380 --> 03:02:47,700
She says dozens of states have considered similar

5392
03:02:47,700 --> 03:02:50,080
bills, and several passed some last year.

5393
03:02:50,320 --> 03:02:51,960
What we are seeing, especially coming out of

5394
03:02:51,960 --> 03:02:55,200
the pandemic, is really just a push that

5395
03:02:55,200 --> 03:02:58,880
is led by the business industry and some

5396
03:02:58,880 --> 03:03:01,040
right-wing think tanks to be able to

5397
03:03:01,040 --> 03:03:04,720
make it easier to hire young people at

5398
03:03:04,720 --> 03:03:07,680
lower wages for longer hours and in more

5399
03:03:07,680 --> 03:03:10,920
hazardous jobs under the guise of wanting to

5400
03:03:10,920 --> 03:03:13,220
address a so-called labor shortage.

5401
03:03:14,860 --> 03:03:17,980
So it's under the guise, according to this

5402
03:03:17,980 --> 03:03:21,900
lefty, and it's all right-wing think tanks,

5403
03:03:22,020 --> 03:03:23,420
and they don't want kids working.

5404
03:03:24,000 --> 03:03:25,940
You know, think about this.

5405
03:03:25,940 --> 03:03:28,860
We could set up an AI company that

5406
03:03:28,860 --> 03:03:31,100
just has a bunch of kids who are

5407
03:03:31,100 --> 03:03:32,520
filling out forms.

5408
03:03:33,400 --> 03:03:35,120
Yeah, like the Indians do.

5409
03:03:35,360 --> 03:03:37,600
Agentic AI, and we just have kids do

5410
03:03:37,600 --> 03:03:37,700
it.

5411
03:03:37,740 --> 03:03:38,180
I love it.

5412
03:03:38,240 --> 03:03:38,860
It's a good idea.

5413
03:03:39,540 --> 03:03:40,420
It is a good idea.

5414
03:03:40,820 --> 03:03:41,140
Onward.

5415
03:03:41,580 --> 03:03:43,940
Mast says the changes are intended to drive

5416
03:03:43,940 --> 03:03:45,980
down wages that went up in lower-paying

5417
03:03:45,980 --> 03:03:49,100
industries during the pandemic, meaning jobs like servers

5418
03:03:49,100 --> 03:03:50,780
in restaurants and delivery drivers.

5419
03:03:51,160 --> 03:03:54,120
This is really a concerted nationwide effort.

5420
03:03:54,120 --> 03:03:55,240
Stop the clip.

5421
03:03:55,500 --> 03:03:56,120
Stopping the clip.

5422
03:03:56,860 --> 03:03:59,280
You can't have a delivery driver who's 14.

5423
03:03:59,400 --> 03:04:00,560
Let's start with that premise.

5424
03:04:01,980 --> 03:04:05,660
So we're dealing with false equivalencies and fake

5425
03:04:05,660 --> 03:04:06,180
premises.

5426
03:04:06,600 --> 03:04:08,700
Oh, yeah, this is so they get delivery

5427
03:04:08,700 --> 03:04:09,240
drivers.

5428
03:04:09,420 --> 03:04:12,160
Like a 14, 15, even a 16-year

5429
03:04:12,160 --> 03:04:14,520
-old delivery driver, so they can get them

5430
03:04:14,520 --> 03:04:15,000
cheaper?

5431
03:04:15,860 --> 03:04:16,700
No, no, no.

5432
03:04:16,820 --> 03:04:17,740
This is bullcrap.

5433
03:04:18,120 --> 03:04:20,460
Meaning jobs like servers in restaurants and delivery

5434
03:04:20,460 --> 03:04:20,920
drivers.

5435
03:04:20,920 --> 03:04:25,600
This is really a concerted nationwide effort to

5436
03:04:25,600 --> 03:04:29,620
essentially create a permanent underclass of disempowered low

5437
03:04:29,620 --> 03:04:30,300
-wage workers.

5438
03:04:30,620 --> 03:04:33,120
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis seemed to back the

5439
03:04:33,120 --> 03:04:35,220
general idea of more minors in the labor

5440
03:04:35,220 --> 03:04:39,020
force, speaking recently at an immigration panel that

5441
03:04:39,020 --> 03:04:41,320
included U.S. Immigration Czar Tom Homan.

5442
03:04:41,600 --> 03:04:44,980
What's wrong with expecting our young people to

5443
03:04:44,980 --> 03:04:46,980
be working part-time now?

5444
03:04:47,060 --> 03:04:48,340
I mean, like, that's how it used to

5445
03:04:48,340 --> 03:04:49,520
be when I was growing up.

5446
03:04:49,520 --> 03:04:52,200
Why do we say we need to import

5447
03:04:52,200 --> 03:04:56,780
foreigners, even import them illegally, when teenagers used

5448
03:04:56,780 --> 03:04:58,480
to work at these resorts?

5449
03:04:58,980 --> 03:05:00,960
He didn't mention child labor laws, but his

5450
03:05:00,960 --> 03:05:03,640
comments were seized on by Democratic lawmakers who

5451
03:05:03,640 --> 03:05:05,820
said child labor shouldn't be used to enable

5452
03:05:05,820 --> 03:05:07,160
an immigration crackdown.

5453
03:05:07,880 --> 03:05:10,620
John Flitter, a political science professor at Kansas

5454
03:05:10,620 --> 03:05:13,320
State University, who's written a book on child

5455
03:05:13,320 --> 03:05:14,680
labor laws, agrees.

5456
03:05:14,680 --> 03:05:17,780
Studies show that when kids start working, you

5457
03:05:17,780 --> 03:05:20,000
know, these hours, they do not do well

5458
03:05:20,000 --> 03:05:20,500
in school.

5459
03:05:21,000 --> 03:05:22,660
Some of them drop out, you know.

5460
03:05:23,240 --> 03:05:24,700
And if you don't have a high school

5461
03:05:24,700 --> 03:05:27,340
degree, a diploma, you're not really going to

5462
03:05:27,340 --> 03:05:29,600
be successful financially for the rest of your

5463
03:05:29,600 --> 03:05:29,920
life.

5464
03:05:30,700 --> 03:05:31,160
Oh, really?

5465
03:05:31,640 --> 03:05:33,060
This is bullcrap.

5466
03:05:33,260 --> 03:05:34,740
Yeah, I mean, go learn how to weld.

5467
03:05:34,900 --> 03:05:37,660
There's a permanent underclass, and then DeSantis himself

5468
03:05:37,660 --> 03:05:39,020
says he used to work like that when

5469
03:05:39,020 --> 03:05:39,540
he was a kid.

5470
03:05:39,640 --> 03:05:41,260
He's the governor of the state.

5471
03:05:41,280 --> 03:05:43,100
How is that a permanent underclass?

5472
03:05:43,100 --> 03:05:45,120
And besides that, we're talking about 14 and

5473
03:05:45,120 --> 03:05:46,940
15-year-olds who do not stay that

5474
03:05:46,940 --> 03:05:48,960
age for more than a year.

5475
03:05:49,880 --> 03:05:53,440
This whole thing is designed to promote immigration.

5476
03:05:53,560 --> 03:05:54,900
No, we don't want the kids working.

5477
03:05:54,980 --> 03:05:56,740
We don't want them having any jobs or

5478
03:05:56,740 --> 03:05:58,400
learning any life skills.

5479
03:05:58,640 --> 03:06:00,220
Screw the kids of America.

5480
03:06:00,660 --> 03:06:02,020
Bring in some immigrants.

5481
03:06:02,600 --> 03:06:04,100
That's all this is about.

5482
03:06:05,000 --> 03:06:06,660
Bring back apprenticeships.

5483
03:06:07,240 --> 03:06:08,420
That's another good thing.

5484
03:06:08,980 --> 03:06:10,540
That's exactly right.

5485
03:06:10,540 --> 03:06:13,320
Well, you'd learn something.

5486
03:06:13,440 --> 03:06:14,020
But no, no, no.

5487
03:06:14,160 --> 03:06:16,860
It was an exploitation, a permanent underclass.

5488
03:06:16,880 --> 03:06:18,660
You sound very upset by this.

5489
03:06:19,120 --> 03:06:20,460
I am very upset by it because I

5490
03:06:20,460 --> 03:06:21,020
used to work.

5491
03:06:21,440 --> 03:06:23,820
It all stems from the one experience I

5492
03:06:23,820 --> 03:06:26,260
had probably, I don't know, 25 years ago.

5493
03:06:26,740 --> 03:06:28,220
I was bitching and moaning.

5494
03:06:28,320 --> 03:06:30,160
I was in Port Townsend, Washington.

5495
03:06:30,260 --> 03:06:31,840
I remember exactly where it took place, and

5496
03:06:31,840 --> 03:06:34,980
there was a bunch of kids, and they

5497
03:06:34,980 --> 03:06:36,760
were sitting around doing nothing.

5498
03:06:37,740 --> 03:06:38,620
I don't know.

5499
03:06:38,680 --> 03:06:40,280
I got into a conversation with them.

5500
03:06:40,360 --> 03:06:41,980
Were they your kids?

5501
03:06:42,080 --> 03:06:42,420
Just random kids?

5502
03:06:42,420 --> 03:06:43,760
No, they were just a bunch of kids.

5503
03:06:43,860 --> 03:06:44,680
I don't know who they were.

5504
03:06:44,760 --> 03:06:45,840
You just walked up to kids?

5505
03:06:47,020 --> 03:06:49,280
They were ne'er-do-well high schoolers.

5506
03:06:49,400 --> 03:06:50,380
And I mentioned something.

5507
03:06:50,680 --> 03:06:52,920
We got into a conversation, and I talked

5508
03:06:52,920 --> 03:06:53,300
about it.

5509
03:06:53,600 --> 03:06:56,440
I don't understand why you're here.

5510
03:06:56,640 --> 03:06:58,660
You get a part-time job.

5511
03:06:58,840 --> 03:06:59,680
You could be doing something.

5512
03:06:59,780 --> 03:07:00,640
I'm sounding like an old man.

5513
03:07:01,640 --> 03:07:03,940
But the point was the kids called me

5514
03:07:03,940 --> 03:07:04,260
out.

5515
03:07:04,260 --> 03:07:06,300
They said, When you were a kid, it

5516
03:07:06,300 --> 03:07:06,760
was different.

5517
03:07:07,120 --> 03:07:08,800
We would love to get a job.

5518
03:07:08,920 --> 03:07:10,060
We can't get a job.

5519
03:07:10,140 --> 03:07:12,020
There are no jobs for us.

5520
03:07:12,580 --> 03:07:14,440
So you can complain about this all you

5521
03:07:14,440 --> 03:07:16,240
want, he says, the guy.

5522
03:07:17,060 --> 03:07:19,220
But you're talking to the wrong people because

5523
03:07:19,220 --> 03:07:21,480
I'd love to go get a job for

5524
03:07:21,480 --> 03:07:21,960
the summer.

5525
03:07:22,100 --> 03:07:22,960
It was during the summer.

5526
03:07:23,940 --> 03:07:25,940
And it really affected me.

5527
03:07:26,500 --> 03:07:29,120
And ever since then, I've noticed this whole

5528
03:07:29,120 --> 03:07:29,540
idea.

5529
03:07:29,640 --> 03:07:31,040
Let's keep the kids from working.

5530
03:07:31,220 --> 03:07:32,960
Don't do it.

5531
03:07:32,960 --> 03:07:35,060
Let's bring in immigrants and have them do

5532
03:07:35,060 --> 03:07:35,500
the jobs.

5533
03:07:35,860 --> 03:07:37,220
And then I remembered, like, I used to

5534
03:07:37,220 --> 03:07:37,920
be a paperboy.

5535
03:07:38,040 --> 03:07:40,520
And then that paperboy job went and eventually

5536
03:07:40,520 --> 03:07:43,940
fell onto the immigrants who drove cars around

5537
03:07:43,940 --> 03:07:45,680
and started delivering the papers door to door

5538
03:07:45,680 --> 03:07:48,900
out of a car, throwing the paper out

5539
03:07:48,900 --> 03:07:49,360
of the window.

5540
03:07:50,260 --> 03:07:52,580
It's just like the whole thing is designed

5541
03:07:52,580 --> 03:07:54,520
to screw the American public.

5542
03:07:55,680 --> 03:07:57,940
And to listen to these apologists really gets

5543
03:07:57,940 --> 03:07:58,560
me irked.

5544
03:07:58,560 --> 03:08:02,420
We need to stop using the paperboy as

5545
03:08:02,420 --> 03:08:05,580
an example because that— Well, there's no such

5546
03:08:05,580 --> 03:08:06,760
thing, and people don't know what I'm talking

5547
03:08:06,760 --> 03:08:07,020
about.

5548
03:08:07,020 --> 03:08:08,560
That opens you up to school.

5549
03:08:09,280 --> 03:08:12,600
But I learned how to shoe horses with

5550
03:08:12,600 --> 03:08:13,140
the blacksmith.

5551
03:08:14,220 --> 03:08:14,520
You did?

5552
03:08:14,920 --> 03:08:15,340
Yes.

5553
03:08:16,560 --> 03:08:18,080
I've told you this story.

5554
03:08:18,380 --> 03:08:20,140
I don't remember you shoeing horses.

5555
03:08:20,320 --> 03:08:20,920
We had Cor.

5556
03:08:21,660 --> 03:08:24,840
We had Cor Desmith, and he was the

5557
03:08:24,840 --> 03:08:25,380
blacksmith.

5558
03:08:26,160 --> 03:08:27,660
And he did all kinds of stuff.

5559
03:08:27,660 --> 03:08:31,420
But I had an apprenticeship with him two

5560
03:08:31,420 --> 03:08:32,520
or three days a week.

5561
03:08:32,580 --> 03:08:34,280
And then he'd teach me how to shoe

5562
03:08:34,280 --> 03:08:37,100
horses, which is a dynamite way to get

5563
03:08:37,100 --> 03:08:38,000
rid of the sniffles.

5564
03:08:38,440 --> 03:08:40,200
And the minute you put a hot horseshoe

5565
03:08:40,200 --> 03:08:41,640
on a horse's hoof, whoo-hoo!

5566
03:08:42,840 --> 03:08:44,220
And it smelled.

5567
03:08:44,460 --> 03:08:46,320
And then banging it out on the anvil,

5568
03:08:46,460 --> 03:08:46,800
oh, yeah.

5569
03:08:47,420 --> 03:08:48,120
It was great.

5570
03:08:48,160 --> 03:08:50,200
And you have to stand behind the horse

5571
03:08:50,200 --> 03:08:52,140
and then take his rear leg and put

5572
03:08:52,140 --> 03:08:53,260
it between your knees.

5573
03:08:53,940 --> 03:08:54,420
Oh, yeah.

5574
03:08:55,440 --> 03:08:58,740
Now, not a lot of apprenticeships in horseshoeing

5575
03:08:58,740 --> 03:08:59,860
either, but welding.

5576
03:09:00,260 --> 03:09:02,460
There's lots of apprenticeships all over the place

5577
03:09:02,460 --> 03:09:04,160
for all kinds of things, if they existed.

5578
03:09:04,280 --> 03:09:05,960
But they pulled them from the market because,

5579
03:09:06,160 --> 03:09:07,540
oh, let's just bring some immigrants in and

5580
03:09:07,540 --> 03:09:08,420
let them work cheap.

5581
03:09:08,760 --> 03:09:08,860
Yeah.

5582
03:09:08,940 --> 03:09:13,540
These apologies for this screw-up are unacceptable

5583
03:09:13,540 --> 03:09:15,440
to me, and this is NPR at its

5584
03:09:15,440 --> 03:09:15,880
best.

5585
03:09:16,440 --> 03:09:19,860
State Senator Collins defends his legislation, saying teens

5586
03:09:19,860 --> 03:09:22,700
working jobs provides other skills they can't get

5587
03:09:22,700 --> 03:09:23,180
in school.

5588
03:09:23,180 --> 03:09:25,360
We want our kids to be academically prepared,

5589
03:09:25,800 --> 03:09:27,160
but let's talk about soft skills.

5590
03:09:27,520 --> 03:09:29,680
Let's talk about adult function.

5591
03:09:30,060 --> 03:09:32,940
Let's talk about executive thought process and management.

5592
03:09:33,440 --> 03:09:34,160
Where do they learn that?

5593
03:09:34,540 --> 03:09:35,540
Do we teach them that in school?

5594
03:09:35,820 --> 03:09:37,200
I think if you go look at what's

5595
03:09:37,200 --> 03:09:38,600
going on, we really don't.

5596
03:09:38,800 --> 03:09:40,440
We don't prepare them for executive function.

5597
03:09:40,500 --> 03:09:41,700
We don't even have home ec and things

5598
03:09:41,700 --> 03:09:42,160
like that.

5599
03:09:42,380 --> 03:09:44,980
It's unclear what will pass Florida's legislature.

5600
03:09:45,160 --> 03:09:47,840
The Senate president and House speakers both say

5601
03:09:47,840 --> 03:09:50,920
they're unsure about further reducing child labor protections.

5602
03:09:50,920 --> 03:09:53,840
But in a committee meeting this week, lawmakers

5603
03:09:53,840 --> 03:09:56,820
raised the idea of loosening rules for 13

5604
03:09:56,820 --> 03:09:58,080
-year-olds to work in the summer.

5605
03:10:00,330 --> 03:10:00,750
Well.

5606
03:10:01,110 --> 03:10:02,570
Oh, you have to loosen the rules so

5607
03:10:02,570 --> 03:10:05,850
a 13-year-old can work in the

5608
03:10:05,850 --> 03:10:06,370
summer.

5609
03:10:06,570 --> 03:10:07,610
Oh, no.

5610
03:10:11,020 --> 03:10:11,600
Yeah.

5611
03:10:12,660 --> 03:10:13,820
Permanent underclass.

5612
03:10:14,220 --> 03:10:16,380
I mean, around here in Fredericksburg, there's plenty

5613
03:10:16,380 --> 03:10:17,140
of opportunities.

5614
03:10:17,140 --> 03:10:20,100
You can work with Paul, the septic guy.

5615
03:10:21,600 --> 03:10:22,700
The septic.

5616
03:10:22,700 --> 03:10:24,820
Hey, let me tell you, Paul, the septic

5617
03:10:24,820 --> 03:10:25,820
guy, does pretty good.

5618
03:10:26,540 --> 03:10:27,380
He does.

5619
03:10:27,520 --> 03:10:28,820
You got a lot of septic out there.

5620
03:10:28,820 --> 03:10:30,660
You can work with Pete, the well guy.

5621
03:10:30,820 --> 03:10:32,980
You can work with Shane, the electrician.

5622
03:10:33,820 --> 03:10:35,380
He'd love to have some apprenticeship.

5623
03:10:35,660 --> 03:10:37,820
He's hard for him to get paid workers

5624
03:10:37,820 --> 03:10:40,420
to understand what they're doing.

5625
03:10:40,960 --> 03:10:41,340
Anyway.

5626
03:10:42,460 --> 03:10:43,800
And we're old men.

5627
03:10:44,080 --> 03:10:45,360
By the way, I need to brush up

5628
03:10:45,360 --> 03:10:46,360
on my eschatology.

5629
03:10:48,060 --> 03:10:49,980
And I will be the first to admit

5630
03:10:49,980 --> 03:10:51,680
Revelation is not my book.

5631
03:10:51,680 --> 03:10:54,420
It's a very, very, very complicated one.

5632
03:10:56,340 --> 03:10:58,600
Revelation 7, 4, Then I heard the number

5633
03:10:58,600 --> 03:11:01,500
of those who were sealed, 144,000 from

5634
03:11:01,500 --> 03:11:02,840
all the tribes of Israel.

5635
03:11:03,300 --> 03:11:06,620
There's nothing about virgins or three days of

5636
03:11:06,620 --> 03:11:07,040
darkness.

5637
03:11:08,600 --> 03:11:10,640
This is end times stuff, man.

5638
03:11:10,820 --> 03:11:11,400
End times.

5639
03:11:11,460 --> 03:11:12,500
That's what she was talking about.

5640
03:11:12,700 --> 03:11:13,760
The end times are coming.

5641
03:11:16,930 --> 03:11:17,810
Yeah, exactly.

5642
03:11:18,190 --> 03:11:20,690
And McCrone is the Antichrist.

5643
03:11:21,710 --> 03:11:23,270
Well, that's possible.

5644
03:11:23,270 --> 03:11:26,030
Well, someone sent me actually an interesting thing.

5645
03:11:26,450 --> 03:11:26,950
What was it?

5646
03:11:28,210 --> 03:11:31,290
By the way, as an Antichrist, he stinks.

5647
03:11:32,290 --> 03:11:33,970
He's no good as an Antichrist.

5648
03:11:34,070 --> 03:11:34,590
I agree.

5649
03:11:36,010 --> 03:11:38,430
One of Daniel's description of the Antichrist is

5650
03:11:38,430 --> 03:11:41,970
he's be without the love of a woman.

5651
03:11:42,350 --> 03:11:43,470
I'm just saying.

5652
03:11:53,270 --> 03:11:58,450
Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.

5653
03:11:58,730 --> 03:11:59,150
That's right.

5654
03:11:59,250 --> 03:12:00,850
We keep our eyes on the end times

5655
03:12:00,850 --> 03:12:01,270
for you.

5656
03:12:01,490 --> 03:12:02,770
Only partially joking.

5657
03:12:03,290 --> 03:12:04,790
And now we want to thank the rest

5658
03:12:04,790 --> 03:12:07,610
of our supporters, donors, and lovers, and producers

5659
03:12:08,190 --> 03:12:10,590
who sent some value to us, $50 and

5660
03:12:10,590 --> 03:12:10,830
above.

5661
03:12:11,030 --> 03:12:12,910
I'm sure there's some people there who gave

5662
03:12:12,910 --> 03:12:15,950
the lovely $73.73 donation, which probably came

5663
03:12:15,950 --> 03:12:18,830
in as $76.43 if you added the

5664
03:12:18,830 --> 03:12:19,130
fees.

5665
03:12:19,470 --> 03:12:22,310
And these are all happy birthday wishes, well

5666
03:12:22,310 --> 03:12:23,110
wishes for John.

5667
03:12:23,270 --> 03:12:24,670
And I want to thank you all for

5668
03:12:24,670 --> 03:12:26,990
making John's birthday a very happy one.

5669
03:12:28,230 --> 03:12:29,730
Well, let's start with Ash.

5670
03:12:30,670 --> 03:12:32,170
And this is another one.

5671
03:12:32,330 --> 03:12:35,170
It's $135.79, and she puts in her

5672
03:12:35,170 --> 03:12:37,750
note, Stephen Wright donation.

5673
03:12:39,550 --> 03:12:40,670
We need a number.

5674
03:12:40,890 --> 03:12:42,410
Well, we don't need a number, just Stephen

5675
03:12:42,410 --> 03:12:42,810
Wright donations.

5676
03:12:42,810 --> 03:12:44,490
They're all random numbers.

5677
03:12:44,770 --> 03:12:45,450
That's good.

5678
03:12:45,870 --> 03:12:46,810
It's fine by me.

5679
03:12:47,050 --> 03:12:48,750
Random Stephen Wright donations.

5680
03:12:48,890 --> 03:12:49,510
Very strange.

5681
03:12:49,590 --> 03:12:49,950
It's good.

5682
03:12:49,950 --> 03:12:53,070
Nick Ellenbecker, one, two, three, four, five.

5683
03:12:53,250 --> 03:12:56,270
Dame Diane, the nation north of the wall,

5684
03:12:57,150 --> 03:13:01,330
$118.92. Proof that no agenda karma works.

5685
03:13:01,450 --> 03:13:04,970
Newcastle United Football Club wins the first domestic

5686
03:13:04,970 --> 03:13:06,650
cup in 70 years.

5687
03:13:08,170 --> 03:13:08,270
Wow.

5688
03:13:08,870 --> 03:13:09,650
How about that?

5689
03:13:10,330 --> 03:13:10,850
Oh, yeah.

5690
03:13:11,750 --> 03:13:13,810
Angela Garcia, she was at the meetup.

5691
03:13:14,050 --> 03:13:15,050
She came in with $100.

5692
03:13:15,050 --> 03:13:18,050
And she also realized Angela's always producing.

5693
03:13:18,850 --> 03:13:19,370
She does.

5694
03:13:19,530 --> 03:13:21,930
She's like an artist who does little miniatures.

5695
03:13:22,290 --> 03:13:23,610
Oh, she always see.

5696
03:13:23,690 --> 03:13:24,750
I think she had gave me a little

5697
03:13:24,750 --> 03:13:26,550
podcast or once with this last time.

5698
03:13:26,630 --> 03:13:28,550
She is a small framed.

5699
03:13:30,170 --> 03:13:33,310
I think it's Samoan or it's not Samoan.

5700
03:13:33,390 --> 03:13:37,110
It's some other mermaid, which was a which

5701
03:13:37,110 --> 03:13:40,550
JC knew about this mermaid, which was a

5702
03:13:40,550 --> 03:13:42,690
fake, which was a mermaid that would that

5703
03:13:42,690 --> 03:13:45,770
some scientists cobbled together as a proof of

5704
03:13:45,770 --> 03:13:46,810
mermaids existing.

5705
03:13:47,010 --> 03:13:48,370
It was a it was complete fraud.

5706
03:13:48,730 --> 03:13:50,030
And she made a little bitty one.

5707
03:13:50,690 --> 03:13:52,690
Anyway, in a frame is very interesting.

5708
03:13:52,970 --> 03:13:54,550
She did every meetup.

5709
03:13:54,610 --> 03:13:56,910
She shows up and drop something off like

5710
03:13:56,910 --> 03:13:57,330
that.

5711
03:13:57,810 --> 03:14:02,650
Sir, as it's all that's all that's a

5712
03:14:02,650 --> 03:14:04,030

5713

03:14:11,450 --> 03:14:13,310
He's the Duke of Luna, lover of American

5716
03:14:13,310 --> 03:14:14,250
boobs, 808.

5717
03:14:14,790 --> 03:14:16,670
And now we start with the happy birthdays.

5718
03:14:17,690 --> 03:14:19,290
The first one is kind of high because

5719
03:14:19,290 --> 03:14:20,910
it came in from Paris, France, and all

5720
03:14:20,910 --> 03:14:23,410
with all the I guess the rigmarole.

5721
03:14:23,510 --> 03:14:26,310

Eighty two.

03:14:30,230 --> 03:14:31,050
Warm wishes.

Yeah, Belgium.

5737
03:14:56,670 --> 03:14:57,150

5738
03:14:57,250 --> 03:14:57,410

couple of silver coins and I didn't get

5748
03:15:17,930 --> 03:15:18,690
their name on them.

5749
03:15:19,230 --> 03:15:20,910

03:16:46,110 --> 03:16:46,890
Kirkstruck.

5781
03:16:48,130 --> 03:16:49,690
Jason Babcock.

5782
03:16:50,770 --> 03:16:54,010
Dame Astrid and Sir Mark, they came in.

5783
03:16:54,350 --> 03:16:55,230
That's nice and sweet.

5784
03:16:55,230 --> 03:16:56,710
Best boomer ever, they say.

5785
03:16:57,890 --> 03:16:58,930
That's me.

5786
03:16:59,070 --> 03:16:59,570
That's right.

5787
03:16:59,570 --> 03:17:01,870
And I can complain as with the best

5788
03:17:01,870 --> 03:17:02,250
of them.

5789
03:17:02,750 --> 03:17:04,810
Dame Lacey in Lake Mills, Wichigan.

5790
03:17:05,690 --> 03:17:06,050
Wichigan.

5791
03:17:06,430 --> 03:17:06,910
Wichigan.

5792
03:17:07,330 --> 03:17:09,070
I'm using that from now on.

5793
03:17:10,290 --> 03:17:10,770
Wichigan.

5794
03:17:12,270 --> 03:17:12,750
Wisconsin.

5795
03:17:13,450 --> 03:17:17,250
Sir Dirty Jersey Whore in Gladewater, Texas.

5796
03:17:17,390 --> 03:17:18,330
Have you ever run into him?

5797
03:17:18,530 --> 03:17:19,470
Yes, many times.

5798
03:17:19,570 --> 03:17:21,010
He's about seven feet tall.

5799
03:17:21,210 --> 03:17:21,650
Lovely wife.

5800
03:17:22,010 --> 03:17:23,150
Yes, that's what somebody at the meetup said.

5801
03:17:23,210 --> 03:17:25,110
Hey, I met Dirty Jersey Whore.

5802
03:17:25,210 --> 03:17:26,650
And it says Dirty Jersey or something on

5803
03:17:26,650 --> 03:17:27,810
his back or Dersier.

5804
03:17:27,990 --> 03:17:28,190
Yeah.

5805
03:17:28,190 --> 03:17:30,150
And he says the guy's a monster.

5806
03:17:30,330 --> 03:17:31,190
He's huge.

5807
03:17:31,890 --> 03:17:32,930
He's a nice guy.

5808
03:17:33,190 --> 03:17:33,670
Sweetheart.

5809
03:17:33,890 --> 03:17:35,370
Yeah, and he said he's a super nice

5810
03:17:35,370 --> 03:17:35,730
guy.

5811
03:17:36,570 --> 03:17:38,210
The bigger they are, the bigger they are.

5812
03:17:38,230 --> 03:17:39,010
Very generous.

5813
03:17:39,190 --> 03:17:39,830
Very sweet.

5814
03:17:40,550 --> 03:17:43,230
Well, he gave us a nice piece in

5815
03:17:43,230 --> 03:17:43,730
Gladewater.

5816
03:17:43,970 --> 03:17:44,550
And he's tasty.

5817
03:17:46,860 --> 03:17:50,020
Sir Bee Boop in New Brighton, Minnesota.

5818
03:17:52,380 --> 03:17:56,840
Donald Roth in Parkston, South Dakota.

5819
03:17:59,080 --> 03:18:01,080
John Fellman in Chico.

5820
03:18:02,460 --> 03:18:03,580
R.F. Eider.

5821
03:18:03,900 --> 03:18:06,400
R.F. Eider in Fairfax, Virginia.

5822
03:18:06,520 --> 03:18:07,920
How about R.F. I.D.er?

5823
03:18:08,720 --> 03:18:11,380
R.F. I.D.er. I think that's

5824
03:18:11,380 --> 03:18:12,840
the guy who may have...

5825
03:18:13,580 --> 03:18:15,760
Something with R.F.I.D. things, I

5826
03:18:15,760 --> 03:18:16,040
guess.

5827
03:18:16,200 --> 03:18:16,840
I'm just...

5828
03:18:18,000 --> 03:18:19,220
That's what it sounds like.

5829
03:18:19,400 --> 03:18:21,060
But I think he may be a guy

5830
03:18:21,060 --> 03:18:22,600
who also dropped off something.

5831
03:18:22,600 --> 03:18:23,100
Okay.

5832
03:18:23,380 --> 03:18:26,820
Or put something in the envelope of interest.

5833
03:18:27,440 --> 03:18:29,880
Laura Heer in Williston, Vermont.

5834
03:18:30,440 --> 03:18:33,980

03:18:37,540 --> 03:18:39,180
Bear in a Puget Sound, actually.

5837
03:18:39,980 --> 03:18:40,580
Dame Rita.

5838
03:18:40,840 --> 03:18:42,140
There she is in Sparks, Nevada.

5839
03:18:43,440 --> 03:18:45,880
Kimberly Bridges, Sarasota, Florida.

5840
03:18:48,020 --> 03:18:49,760
These all say happy birthday, by the way.

5841
03:18:50,020 --> 03:18:52,760
Sir Latte from Starbucks.

5842
03:18:52,760 --> 03:18:54,700
No, he's in Bremerton, Washington.

5843
03:18:57,480 --> 03:18:59,480
Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve.

5844
03:18:59,620 --> 03:19:00,280
There's our guy.

5845
03:19:00,700 --> 03:19:01,140
The second.

5846
03:19:02,200 --> 03:19:03,560
There's more of them.

5847
03:19:03,700 --> 03:19:04,500
There's more of them.

5848
03:19:04,880 --> 03:19:05,620
There might be.

5849
03:19:06,300 --> 03:19:08,020
Sir John, Parts Unknown.

5850
03:19:08,220 --> 03:19:09,060

Sir Becoming Heroic.

5852
03:19:12,040 --> 03:19:13,760
Top Notch Heating and...

5853
03:19:14,280 --> 03:19:14,760
What is it?

5854
03:19:14,940 --> 03:19:16,180
You have it broke out.

5855
03:19:16,320 --> 03:19:18,100
It's a plug for Top Notch Heating.

5856
03:19:18,360 --> 03:19:19,860
Top Notch Heating and Air.

5857
03:19:20,460 --> 03:19:22,220
And Air Conditioning in Mantee, Utah.

5858
03:19:22,760 --> 03:19:24,620
That's who you want to go to, sir.

5859
03:19:24,960 --> 03:19:30,500
Johnny Bananas and Dame Sally Bananas in Fowler,

5860
03:19:30,740 --> 03:19:31,200
Indiana.

5861
03:19:31,680 --> 03:19:34,620
Sir Robertson in Dos Palos, California.

5862
03:19:36,600 --> 03:19:39,100
Ahmed Mian in Calgary, Alberta.

5863
03:19:39,580 --> 03:19:41,480
Well, that ended it, by the way.

5864
03:19:41,620 --> 03:19:46,080
And by the way, Ahmed Mian, he sent

5865
03:19:46,080 --> 03:19:50,980
$100 in Canadian dollary dues, and he actually

5866
03:19:50,980 --> 03:19:52,140
sent me a note.

5867
03:19:52,140 --> 03:19:53,520
What was the note that he sent?

5868
03:19:53,620 --> 03:19:55,740
He needs a job's karma, and I will

5869
03:19:55,740 --> 03:19:57,080
give that to him at the end.

5870
03:19:57,240 --> 03:19:57,740
Here's what he said.

5871
03:19:57,820 --> 03:19:58,500
What did he say here?

5872
03:19:59,380 --> 03:20:00,360
He needs a job's karma.

5873
03:20:00,720 --> 03:20:01,920
Yeah, good fortune.

5874
03:20:02,220 --> 03:20:02,920
Yes, okay.

5875
03:20:03,080 --> 03:20:03,480
You got it.

5876
03:20:03,660 --> 03:20:07,140
So his $100 became $67.31. Yeah, and

5877
03:20:07,140 --> 03:20:08,360
that's probably plus fees.

5878
03:20:10,560 --> 03:20:11,000
Maybe.

5879
03:20:11,560 --> 03:20:15,240
David Cox in Austin, Texas, $63.25. Troy

5880
03:20:15,240 --> 03:20:18,680

Michael Gates, $52.80. Roger Kesey in Holland,

5882
03:20:25,620 --> 03:20:28,060
Michigan, $52.72. These are all $50 donors.

5883
03:20:28,160 --> 03:20:29,680
Sometimes you read them off as $50s, except

5884
03:20:29,680 --> 03:20:33,740
for, well, you got Craig Bodak, parts unknown,

5885
03:20:33,900 --> 03:20:38,920
Gordon Myers in Dripping Springs, $51.50. Now,

5886
03:20:39,060 --> 03:20:41,260
these are officially $50 donors.

5887
03:20:41,580 --> 03:20:43,480
Chris Conaker in Anchorage.

5888
03:20:44,300 --> 03:20:46,880
Alex Zavala in Kiley, Texas.

5889
03:20:47,240 --> 03:20:48,000
Sir Alex, yes.

5890
03:20:48,580 --> 03:20:49,160
Sir Alex.

5891
03:20:49,160 --> 03:20:53,620
Mark Miller in Lenoxa, I think is how

5892
03:20:53,620 --> 03:20:55,320
it's pronounced, Kansas.

5893
03:20:55,980 --> 03:20:59,160
Henry Klan in Aledo, Texas.

5894
03:20:59,980 --> 03:21:02,400
Corey Jackson in Waterton, Tennessee.

5895
03:21:03,060 --> 03:21:05,700
Walker Phillips over here in San Rafael, California.

5896
03:21:06,200 --> 03:21:09,600
And last on the list, good list, Vancid

5897
03:21:09,600 --> 03:21:10,940
in Virginia.

5898
03:21:11,320 --> 03:21:13,180
I think Vancid may have been the one

5899
03:21:13,180 --> 03:21:14,680
who sent the extra gift.

5900
03:21:15,760 --> 03:21:17,200
I'll tell you about that later.

5901
03:21:17,800 --> 03:21:18,260
Okay.

5902
03:21:18,260 --> 03:21:19,760
We want to thank these people.

5903
03:21:19,960 --> 03:21:20,680
Is it exploding?

5904
03:21:21,840 --> 03:21:23,620
It's exploding dildo.

5905
03:21:24,300 --> 03:21:25,100
Hey, everybody.

5906
03:21:25,260 --> 03:21:27,300
Thank you so much for celebrating John's birthday

5907
03:21:27,300 --> 03:21:27,860
with us.

5908
03:21:27,940 --> 03:21:29,940
It's an annual tradition here on the show.

5909
03:21:30,040 --> 03:21:31,420
We do it twice a year.

5910
03:21:31,780 --> 03:21:33,480
One for me, one for John, and we

5911
03:21:33,480 --> 03:21:34,220
appreciate that.

5912
03:21:34,780 --> 03:21:35,740
noagendadonations.com.

5913
03:21:35,800 --> 03:21:37,780
Here's the jobs karma as requested.

5914
03:21:38,220 --> 03:21:40,600
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

5915
03:21:40,760 --> 03:21:42,340
Let's vote for jobs.

5916
03:21:42,800 --> 03:21:44,340
You've got karma.

5917
03:21:45,320 --> 03:21:46,280
noagendadonations.com.

5918
03:21:46,280 --> 03:21:48,040
You can also go there to start a

5919
03:21:48,040 --> 03:21:50,180
recurring donation, any amount, any frequency.

5920
03:21:50,380 --> 03:21:52,300
It's noagendadonations.com.

5921
03:21:56,940 --> 03:22:01,560
And besides celebrating John's birthday, we also celebrated

5922
03:22:01,560 --> 03:22:06,340
Brittany Johnson's birthday as her husband, Jordan Johnson,

5923
03:22:06,440 --> 03:22:08,560
wishes smoking hot wife Brittany a very happy

5924
03:22:08,560 --> 03:22:08,740
one.

5925
03:22:08,820 --> 03:22:10,620
She turned 40 on April 5th.

5926
03:22:11,480 --> 03:22:13,640
Hi, I'm messing up.

5927
03:22:13,820 --> 03:22:15,860
She says happy birthday to her son, Adam.

5928
03:22:15,940 --> 03:22:18,700
He turned 18 on the 5th of April

5929
03:22:18,700 --> 03:22:19,100
as well.

5930
03:22:19,160 --> 03:22:20,700
And we say happy birthday to these people

5931
03:22:20,700 --> 03:22:21,580
from everybody.

5932
03:22:21,740 --> 03:22:23,720
You're the best podcast in the universe.

5933
03:22:23,720 --> 03:22:25,860
It's your birthday, yeah.

5934
03:22:27,140 --> 03:22:28,100
Title changes.

5935
03:22:28,920 --> 03:22:30,900
Turn and faceless ladies.

5936
03:22:31,500 --> 03:22:31,920
Title changes.

5937
03:22:33,240 --> 03:22:34,380
Don't want to be a douchebag.

5938
03:22:34,380 --> 03:22:36,280
We do that title change from earlier.

5939
03:22:36,500 --> 03:22:40,920
Sir Lawrence of Dystopia upped his support to

5940
03:22:40,920 --> 03:22:42,580
the show in the amount of $1,000.

5941
03:22:42,940 --> 03:22:46,000
So he becomes Sir Lawrence of Dystopia, Baronet

5942
03:22:46,000 --> 03:22:46,940
of Maxwell Park.

5943
03:22:47,140 --> 03:22:48,220
That's on the spreadsheet.

5944
03:22:48,360 --> 03:22:50,200
That's not what you approved, but that's how

5945
03:22:50,200 --> 03:22:50,780
it went down.

5946
03:22:50,920 --> 03:22:52,560
So now I guess it's official.

5947
03:22:52,560 --> 03:22:55,640
Congratulations, Sir Lawrence, now Baronet.

5948
03:22:55,760 --> 03:22:57,300
And we thank you very much for your

5949
03:22:57,300 --> 03:22:58,540
support of the Noah Jenner Show.

5950
03:22:58,620 --> 03:23:00,460
We have three Commodores to welcome.

5951
03:23:01,060 --> 03:23:04,880
And we start by welcoming Commodore Indomitable Dame

5952
03:23:04,880 --> 03:23:09,120
Melody Fugazotto, Commodore Sir Ronald Lafferty, and Commodore

5953
03:23:09,120 --> 03:23:10,500
Cheeky and Anonymous.

5954
03:23:10,820 --> 03:23:12,160
Commodores arriving!

5955
03:23:13,160 --> 03:23:16,500
Go to NoahJennerRings.com, you brand-new Commodores,

5956
03:23:16,580 --> 03:23:17,920
and give us your address so that we

5957
03:23:17,920 --> 03:23:21,100
can get your Commodore shipping, getting your paperwork

5958
03:23:21,100 --> 03:23:22,700
out to you as soon as possible.

5959
03:23:23,580 --> 03:23:25,400
And of course, let us know what name

5960
03:23:25,400 --> 03:23:26,120
you would like on it.

5961
03:23:26,140 --> 03:23:27,540
We thank you all very much for supporting

5962
03:23:27,540 --> 03:23:29,000
the best podcast in the universe.

5963
03:23:29,400 --> 03:23:31,180
Zane Peterson is a layaway knight.

5964
03:23:31,280 --> 03:23:32,000
It works, people.

5965
03:23:32,400 --> 03:23:34,060
You just lay away a little bit, do

5966
03:23:34,060 --> 03:23:35,180
one of those recurring donations.

5967
03:23:35,380 --> 03:23:39,480
He says, hey, guys, I never thought I'd

5968
03:23:39,480 --> 03:23:41,040
make it to knighthood, so I never checked.

5969
03:23:41,160 --> 03:23:42,740
The other day I was scrolling through PayPal

5970
03:23:42,740 --> 03:23:44,840
to find something, and I was like, holy

5971
03:23:44,840 --> 03:23:46,780
cow, I think I'm close to knighthood.

5972
03:23:46,960 --> 03:23:48,620
I tallied things up, and I was.

5973
03:23:48,640 --> 03:23:49,500
I was over the mark.

5974
03:23:49,500 --> 03:23:50,980
So on to the cool stuff.

5975
03:23:51,060 --> 03:23:53,540
I'd like my knight name to be Zurzanamak

5976
03:23:53,540 --> 03:23:56,160
of the squared circle, and I'll have good

5977
03:23:56,160 --> 03:23:57,520
old mutton and mead.

5978
03:23:57,860 --> 03:23:59,300
Thanks a million, he says.

5979
03:23:59,380 --> 03:24:01,120
And he wants a jobs karma from Nancy.

5980
03:24:01,460 --> 03:24:04,700
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

5981
03:24:04,880 --> 03:24:06,360
Let's vote for jobs.

5982
03:24:08,610 --> 03:24:10,150
You've got karma.

5983
03:24:11,770 --> 03:24:14,430
So why don't we see we have two

5984
03:24:14,430 --> 03:24:14,670
here.

5985
03:24:14,770 --> 03:24:16,070
Why don't we bring these knights up on

5986
03:24:16,070 --> 03:24:16,390
the table.

5987
03:24:16,530 --> 03:24:17,510
I've got my blade here.

5988
03:24:17,590 --> 03:24:19,990
If you can draw your sword.

5989
03:24:19,990 --> 03:24:20,690
Very nice.

5990
03:24:20,750 --> 03:24:22,190
Nice sword drawing, sir.

5991
03:24:22,570 --> 03:24:24,430
Zane Peterson, you're ready to go.

5992
03:24:24,730 --> 03:24:27,510
Marty van Weensbergen, you are ready to go

5993
03:24:27,510 --> 03:24:27,930
as well.

5994
03:24:28,090 --> 03:24:29,710
And we'll be thinking of you, Marty.

5995
03:24:29,830 --> 03:24:31,170
You got this, as they say.

5996
03:24:31,610 --> 03:24:33,210
Both of you have supported the Noah Jenner

5997
03:24:33,210 --> 03:24:34,850
Show directly or through proxy.

5998
03:24:34,990 --> 03:24:36,730
And $1,000 or more, I'm very proud

5999
03:24:36,730 --> 03:24:40,510
to pronounce KB as Zurzanamak of the squared

6000
03:24:40,510 --> 03:24:43,590
circle and Sir Marty van Weensbergen of the

6001
03:24:43,590 --> 03:24:44,450
Coachella Valley.

6002
03:24:44,750 --> 03:24:46,630
For you, gentlemen, we have hookers and blow,

6003
03:24:46,630 --> 03:24:49,630
and chardonnay, or Belgian frites de coton, and

6004
03:24:49,630 --> 03:24:51,830
a cold, unsweetened Mountain Dew.

6005
03:24:52,250 --> 03:24:54,390
Along with that, Rubenesque, Lumen and Rosé, Geissen

6006
03:24:54,390 --> 03:24:56,710
and Sake, Barnets and Bourbon, Sparkling Cider and

6007
03:24:56,710 --> 03:24:58,990
Estor, Ginger Ale and Gerbil, Breast Milk and

6008
03:24:58,990 --> 03:25:01,470
Pavlova, or as always, the mutton and the

6009
03:25:01,470 --> 03:25:01,710
mead.

6010
03:25:02,390 --> 03:25:04,890
You also are welcome to go to NoahJennerRings

6011
03:25:04,890 --> 03:25:05,290
.com.

6012
03:25:05,330 --> 03:25:07,670
In this case, use the handy ring sizing

6013
03:25:07,670 --> 03:25:10,650
guide to let us know exactly what size

6014
03:25:10,650 --> 03:25:12,110
ring you want for your knight ring.

6015
03:25:12,170 --> 03:25:13,530
It is a signet ring, so we also

6016
03:25:13,530 --> 03:25:15,890
give you wax to use when sealing your

6017
03:25:15,890 --> 03:25:17,050
important correspondence.

6018
03:25:17,230 --> 03:25:19,330
And as always, this also comes with a

6019
03:25:19,330 --> 03:25:20,550
certificate of authenticity.

6020
03:25:20,830 --> 03:25:23,050
Welcome to both of you to the Noah

6021
03:25:23,050 --> 03:25:25,190
Jenner round table of our knights and dames.

6022
03:25:25,670 --> 03:25:27,010
Noah Jenner!

6023
03:25:29,730 --> 03:25:35,870
We are in a time where people are

6024
03:25:35,870 --> 03:25:41,210
trying to divide and trying to attack relationships.

6025
03:25:41,210 --> 03:25:43,810
And this is a moment for you to

6026
03:25:43,810 --> 03:25:47,130
keep relationships going, to build new ones, to

6027
03:25:47,130 --> 03:25:48,570
restore old ones perhaps.

6028
03:25:48,750 --> 03:25:50,970
But connection is protection if you go to

6029
03:25:50,970 --> 03:25:51,970
a Noah Jenner meetup.

6030
03:25:52,050 --> 03:25:54,050
You can find them at NoahJennerMeetups.com.

6031
03:25:54,130 --> 03:25:55,470
They are all producer organized.

6032
03:25:56,070 --> 03:25:56,790
They're fun.

6033
03:25:57,190 --> 03:25:58,690
They're a lot of fun to go to.

6034
03:25:59,070 --> 03:26:00,250
Everybody's willing to talk.

6035
03:26:00,330 --> 03:26:01,070
You can have a drink.

6036
03:26:01,130 --> 03:26:01,890
You can hang out.

6037
03:26:02,030 --> 03:26:03,210
You can be weird.

6038
03:26:03,310 --> 03:26:04,530
You can be as weird as you want

6039
03:26:04,530 --> 03:26:04,750
to be.

6040
03:26:04,850 --> 03:26:06,530
No one cares because, you know, you're part

6041
03:26:06,530 --> 03:26:07,490
of the Noah Jenner family.

6042
03:26:07,670 --> 03:26:08,490
We get it.

6043
03:26:09,270 --> 03:26:11,010
NoahJennerMeetups.com is where you can find the

6044
03:26:11,010 --> 03:26:12,210
entire list and calendar.

6045
03:26:12,470 --> 03:26:13,510
Here's a meetup report.

6046
03:26:13,650 --> 03:26:15,750
This was the crossword puzzle meetup.

6047
03:26:15,770 --> 03:26:17,930
I'm an actor from the TMI Evac Zone

6048
03:26:17,930 --> 03:26:20,210
meetup, and I'm training up the next generation

6049
03:26:20,210 --> 03:26:22,050
of anti-AI warriors.

6050
03:26:22,650 --> 03:26:24,570
Double 3i is stealing our future.

6051
03:26:25,010 --> 03:26:26,890
Have a nice day from Steve.

6052
03:26:27,030 --> 03:26:28,130
Sarcastic the Nomad.

6053
03:26:28,210 --> 03:26:29,050
Thank you for your courage.

6054
03:26:29,390 --> 03:26:31,850
It's Jason with the great re-tease here

6055
03:26:31,850 --> 03:26:34,650
with my spoken hot wife, Natasha.

6056
03:26:35,130 --> 03:26:35,710
All right.

6057
03:26:35,930 --> 03:26:37,410
Remember your servers, people.

6058
03:26:37,410 --> 03:26:39,210
Tip them and get them in the meetup

6059
03:26:39,210 --> 03:26:39,630
reports.

6060
03:26:40,230 --> 03:26:42,010
One meetup today, only one.

6061
03:26:43,230 --> 03:26:46,950
Actually, this is April 10th, so that doesn't

6062
03:26:46,950 --> 03:26:47,730
make any sense.

6063
03:26:47,970 --> 03:26:50,130
That would be this coming Thursday.

6064
03:26:50,310 --> 03:26:50,470
Right.

6065
03:26:50,630 --> 03:26:51,030
There you go.

6066
03:26:51,230 --> 03:26:51,850
Sorry, not today.

6067
03:26:52,050 --> 03:26:52,910
I'm confused.

6068
03:26:53,270 --> 03:26:55,250
This coming Thursday, the Outer Swamp meetup.

6069
03:26:55,470 --> 03:26:56,950
Now, this is at 6 o'clock at

6070
03:26:56,950 --> 03:26:58,710
the Dogfish Head Ale House.

6071
03:26:58,790 --> 03:27:01,830
That's a new location in Gaithersburg, Maryland, so

6072
03:27:01,830 --> 03:27:04,750
make sure you check that on the meetup

6073
03:27:04,750 --> 03:27:05,070
site.

6074
03:27:05,070 --> 03:27:09,050
Coming up in the upcoming month, we have

6075
03:27:09,050 --> 03:27:13,070
Schofield, Wisconsin, Oklahoma City, Colorado Springs, Mount Laurel

6076
03:27:13,070 --> 03:27:17,070
Township, Jersey, Eagle, Idaho, Fort Wayne, Indiana, big

6077
03:27:17,070 --> 03:27:20,730
one, Houston, Texas, Toronto, Ontario, Indianapolis, Keene, New

6078
03:27:20,730 --> 03:27:21,070
Hampshire.

6079
03:27:21,550 --> 03:27:21,830
Again?

6080
03:27:22,010 --> 03:27:22,550
No, it's different.

6081
03:27:23,010 --> 03:27:26,210
Charlotte, North Carolina, Leiden in the Netherlands, Bedford,

6082
03:27:26,310 --> 03:27:29,930
Texas, Sacramento, California, Los Angeles, California, and that's

6083
03:27:29,930 --> 03:27:30,430
just April.

6084
03:27:30,530 --> 03:27:31,990
We got them all the way through June,

6085
03:27:32,330 --> 03:27:34,550
and you can find those at knowagenandmeetups.com.

6086
03:27:34,550 --> 03:27:35,830
Enjoy your time.

6087
03:27:36,070 --> 03:27:36,870
Connection is protection.

6088
03:27:37,310 --> 03:27:39,250
These are your first responders in emergency.

6089
03:27:39,510 --> 03:27:40,710
You need these relationships.

6090
03:27:41,330 --> 03:27:43,870
knowagenandmeetups.com If you can't find one, start

6091
03:27:43,870 --> 03:27:44,390
one yourself.

6092
03:28:01,810 --> 03:28:05,270
Like a big party.

6093
03:28:05,270 --> 03:28:08,770
I will continue to try real ISOs, while

6094
03:28:08,770 --> 03:28:11,630
you just use AI for what it's really

6095
03:28:11,630 --> 03:28:12,190
good for.

6096
03:28:12,990 --> 03:28:17,350
Surfing websites, creating videos for Scaramanga, and end

6097
03:28:17,350 --> 03:28:18,230
-of-show ISOs.

6098
03:28:18,290 --> 03:28:20,870
That's really what that $100 billion industry is

6099
03:28:20,870 --> 03:28:21,150
about.

6100
03:28:22,350 --> 03:28:23,050
I have two.

6101
03:28:23,210 --> 03:28:24,230
I'm going to start with the first one.

6102
03:28:24,530 --> 03:28:25,650
Everything's going to go up.

6103
03:28:26,750 --> 03:28:27,530
No, that's no good.

6104
03:28:27,990 --> 03:28:29,770
I thought this one was good.

6105
03:28:29,930 --> 03:28:31,590
Dude, what's going on?

6106
03:28:32,570 --> 03:28:32,810
Hmm?

6107
03:28:33,810 --> 03:28:35,930
What's that got to do with the end

6108
03:28:35,930 --> 03:28:36,510
of the show?

6109
03:28:37,910 --> 03:28:40,410
Nothing, because I don't type in a prompt.

6110
03:28:42,530 --> 03:28:44,090
Well, I got a real one in here.

6111
03:28:44,410 --> 03:28:44,850
Please.

6112
03:28:45,690 --> 03:28:46,950
Let's go with 10.

6113
03:28:47,330 --> 03:28:48,490
10 out of 10?

6114
03:28:48,890 --> 03:28:49,330
Perfection.

6115
03:28:50,330 --> 03:28:51,970
What's that got to do with the show?

6116
03:28:54,550 --> 03:28:54,990
Yeah.

6117
03:28:55,750 --> 03:28:56,690
Yeah, very funny.

6118
03:28:56,850 --> 03:28:56,990
Yeah.

6119
03:28:57,670 --> 03:29:02,350
Let's go with the Arab shoots.

6120
03:29:07,450 --> 03:29:08,810
Yeah, no, that's no good.

6121
03:29:08,930 --> 03:29:09,850
That was the real one?

6122
03:29:09,950 --> 03:29:10,530
That's no good.

6123
03:29:12,250 --> 03:29:14,270
Okay, well, let's try, what is this?

6124
03:29:14,350 --> 03:29:14,610
Dips.

6125
03:29:15,670 --> 03:29:18,890
No, I don't like that.

6126
03:29:19,490 --> 03:29:23,430
You would bulk against that saying that portrays

6127
03:29:23,430 --> 03:29:24,230
us negatively.

6128
03:29:24,430 --> 03:29:25,690
We are not dipshits.

6129
03:29:25,690 --> 03:29:27,330
So that's a no.

6130
03:29:27,590 --> 03:29:28,150
Hard no.

6131
03:29:29,250 --> 03:29:30,050
I agree.

6132
03:29:30,190 --> 03:29:31,350
I just threw it in just to add

6133
03:29:31,350 --> 03:29:32,150
a little spice.

6134
03:29:32,390 --> 03:29:32,870
Yes, okay.

6135
03:29:33,390 --> 03:29:34,030
And then we got no.

6136
03:29:34,510 --> 03:29:35,850
No, it can't be over already.

6137
03:29:36,790 --> 03:29:37,370
Let me see.

6138
03:29:37,470 --> 03:29:39,850
Between that one and 10 out of 10?

6139
03:29:40,310 --> 03:29:40,710
Perfection.

6140
03:29:40,810 --> 03:29:42,110
I think that's the best one.

6141
03:29:42,190 --> 03:29:43,270
10 out of 10, perfection.

6142
03:29:43,830 --> 03:29:46,310
Still looking for yo, yo, yo, what up?

6143
03:29:46,730 --> 03:29:48,310
Yo, yo, yo, what up?

6144
03:29:48,330 --> 03:29:49,770
Somebody got to do that for me.

6145
03:29:49,850 --> 03:29:50,490
Nobody can do it.

6146
03:29:50,570 --> 03:29:51,470
You can't do it.

6147
03:29:51,470 --> 03:29:54,310
I know there is a trick you can

6148
03:29:54,310 --> 03:29:54,970
do it with.

6149
03:29:54,970 --> 03:29:57,130
And it's using the voice changer.

6150
03:29:57,270 --> 03:29:58,610
In other words, you don't use the AI

6151
03:29:58,610 --> 03:29:59,450
to create the voice.

6152
03:29:59,570 --> 03:30:01,910
You use your own voice and say, yo,

6153
03:30:02,010 --> 03:30:03,170
yo, yo, what up?

6154
03:30:03,670 --> 03:30:05,730
And then you tweak it.

6155
03:30:06,130 --> 03:30:08,530
Someone out there can just record it.

6156
03:30:08,570 --> 03:30:09,110
You can do it.

6157
03:30:09,170 --> 03:30:10,590
You don't need AI for that.

6158
03:30:10,670 --> 03:30:13,410
But apparently, no one wants to participate.

6159
03:30:14,530 --> 03:30:16,890
They don't want to do it.

6160
03:30:17,190 --> 03:30:19,590
Everybody, it's time for everybody's favorite moment of

6161
03:30:19,590 --> 03:30:19,870
the show.

6162
03:30:19,950 --> 03:30:21,630
This is John's tip of the day.

6163
03:30:22,730 --> 03:30:25,270
Great advice for you and me.

6164
03:30:25,530 --> 03:30:28,070
Just a tip with JCD.

6165
03:30:28,830 --> 03:30:30,510
And sometimes Adam.

6166
03:30:30,890 --> 03:30:32,490
Okay, so this is a product tip.

6167
03:30:32,730 --> 03:30:32,990
Huh?

6168
03:30:33,470 --> 03:30:34,710
This is a product tip.

6169
03:30:34,790 --> 03:30:36,270
I get product tips once in a while,

6170
03:30:36,370 --> 03:30:37,730
besides cleaning tips.

6171
03:30:38,810 --> 03:30:41,210
I think everyone should get, you get, buy

6172
03:30:41,210 --> 03:30:42,070
these by the pair.

6173
03:30:42,190 --> 03:30:43,490
There's like two sets of them.

6174
03:30:44,170 --> 03:30:46,630
And everyone should have these because it's the

6175
03:30:46,630 --> 03:30:47,590
only way to go.

6176
03:30:47,710 --> 03:30:50,410
Otherwise, you're dicking around, dicking around, trying to

6177
03:30:50,410 --> 03:30:51,910
find the right charging cable.

6178
03:30:52,210 --> 03:30:52,510
Oh, no.

6179
03:30:52,790 --> 03:30:56,990
It's the multi-charging, five-in-one, two

6180
03:30:56,990 --> 03:31:00,630
pieces, four-foot cables that have a USB

6181
03:31:00,630 --> 03:31:04,330
-C on one side and a micro USB.

6182
03:31:06,590 --> 03:31:08,610
It just has all these different connections.

6183
03:31:08,950 --> 03:31:10,870
They have three or four of them that

6184
03:31:10,870 --> 03:31:11,770
you can plug into.

6185
03:31:11,970 --> 03:31:12,970
You find one.

6186
03:31:13,210 --> 03:31:15,750
Because of all these USB things they've created,

6187
03:31:15,830 --> 03:31:16,630
they've ruined it.

6188
03:31:17,090 --> 03:31:18,110
You got your C.

6189
03:31:18,290 --> 03:31:19,130
You got your micro.

6190
03:31:19,130 --> 03:31:21,030
You got your one that Google uses.

6191
03:31:21,030 --> 03:31:22,450
You got the one of the iPhone.

6192
03:31:22,990 --> 03:31:23,990
They don't even use it.

6193
03:31:23,990 --> 03:31:24,610
They don't even bother.

6194
03:31:24,750 --> 03:31:26,430
iPhone screws you over.

6195
03:31:27,390 --> 03:31:28,790
So you should buy these things.

6196
03:31:28,910 --> 03:31:30,190
You get two of them for $10.

6197
03:31:31,690 --> 03:31:33,550
And get them while they last because I'm

6198
03:31:33,550 --> 03:31:34,790
sure they're coming out of China.

6199
03:31:37,050 --> 03:31:40,910
So you're so against USB-C, but isn't

6200
03:31:40,910 --> 03:31:44,430
this kind of exactly why USB-C is

6201
03:31:44,430 --> 03:31:45,410
good as a standard?

6202
03:31:46,470 --> 03:31:46,810
Why?

6203
03:31:46,810 --> 03:31:49,570
Well, because everybody, I mean, all my devices

6204
03:31:49,570 --> 03:31:51,050
now have USB-C.

6205
03:31:51,810 --> 03:31:53,290
Yeah, that's the whole idea.

6206
03:31:53,370 --> 03:31:54,470
So they can spy on you.

6207
03:31:54,690 --> 03:31:56,790
What do you need when you have the

6208
03:31:56,790 --> 03:32:00,610
regular small USB connector, which has four pins?

6209
03:32:01,150 --> 03:32:02,870
Count them, four pins.

6210
03:32:03,030 --> 03:32:05,290
And it can go at incredibly high speeds.

6211
03:32:05,790 --> 03:32:08,490
Why do we suddenly need a 24-pin

6212
03:32:08,490 --> 03:32:09,090
connector?

6213
03:32:09,450 --> 03:32:09,910
For AI.

6214
03:32:09,910 --> 03:32:10,330
For what?

6215
03:32:10,530 --> 03:32:11,530
For AI, man.

6216
03:32:11,630 --> 03:32:12,290
It's for AI.

6217
03:32:12,750 --> 03:32:13,710
For AI throughput.

6218
03:32:14,070 --> 03:32:15,970
For lack of latency, AI throughput.

6219
03:32:15,970 --> 03:32:17,590
And it's a bunch of little bitty, and

6220
03:32:17,590 --> 03:32:19,690
they're so minuscule that if you put the

6221
03:32:19,690 --> 03:32:22,630
thing in just such, they're bound to screw

6222
03:32:22,630 --> 03:32:22,810
up.

6223
03:32:22,910 --> 03:32:23,930
They're bound to break.

6224
03:32:24,230 --> 03:32:25,010
They're no good.

6225
03:32:25,310 --> 03:32:27,030
USB-C is no good.

6226
03:32:27,150 --> 03:32:29,450
You heard it here first, everybody.

6227
03:32:29,770 --> 03:32:31,190
USB-C is no good.

6228
03:32:31,270 --> 03:32:32,490
It'll never fly.

6229
03:32:33,090 --> 03:32:34,030
I never said that.

6230
03:32:34,430 --> 03:32:36,090
But I'm putting words in your mouth.

6231
03:32:36,470 --> 03:32:37,250
Hey, Tip of the Day.

6232
03:32:37,310 --> 03:32:39,090
Don't let no one get to fun.com.

6233
03:32:46,290 --> 03:32:47,890
And sometimes, at home.

6234
03:32:48,530 --> 03:32:49,630
Created by Dana Brunetti.

6235
03:32:49,810 --> 03:32:50,690
There you go, everybody.

6236
03:32:50,790 --> 03:32:51,710
There's your Tip of the Day.

6237
03:32:52,450 --> 03:32:54,190
I have a tip for next week, for

6238
03:32:54,190 --> 03:32:54,570
Thursday.

6239
03:32:55,570 --> 03:32:56,730
I got a couple of tips.

6240
03:32:57,550 --> 03:33:00,290
Sitting around in my underwear, Tina's out in

6241
03:33:00,290 --> 03:33:00,630
Florida.

6242
03:33:00,870 --> 03:33:01,750
I got tips.

6243
03:33:01,850 --> 03:33:02,930
I got lots of tips for you.

6244
03:33:03,810 --> 03:33:05,130
Put some clothes on.

6245
03:33:06,730 --> 03:33:07,670
Here's a tip.

6246
03:33:08,030 --> 03:33:10,550
My tip is that if you stay tuned

6247
03:33:10,550 --> 03:33:13,310
to the Noah Jenner stream, trollroom.io, and

6248
03:33:13,310 --> 03:33:16,130
on your modern podcast app, you will hear

6249
03:33:16,130 --> 03:33:18,590
Behind the Schemes coming up in just moments

6250
03:33:18,590 --> 03:33:21,470
from now, as we cruise right into that,

6251
03:33:21,570 --> 03:33:23,430
because it's a live thing we got going

6252
03:33:23,430 --> 03:33:23,610
on.

6253
03:33:23,650 --> 03:33:26,590
It's just like radio, only cheaper and a

6254
03:33:26,590 --> 03:33:27,350
lot more fun.

6255
03:33:29,050 --> 03:33:30,270
End of show mixes.

6256
03:33:30,450 --> 03:33:34,470
Thank you, Tom Starkweather, for a redux of

6257
03:33:34,470 --> 03:33:35,670
Trump's tariffs.

6258
03:33:35,770 --> 03:33:38,170
This was from 2019, but it still fits.

6259
03:33:38,170 --> 03:33:41,050
And Professor Jay Jones comes in with some

6260
03:33:41,050 --> 03:33:43,530
a-ha, a-ha stuff.

6261
03:33:44,530 --> 03:33:45,890
Coming to you from the heart of the

6262
03:33:45,890 --> 03:33:49,750
Texas Hill Country, here in Fredericksburg, picturesque Fredericksburg,

6263
03:33:49,810 --> 03:33:50,410
I might add.

6264
03:33:50,910 --> 03:33:53,230
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

6265
03:33:53,430 --> 03:33:55,970
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's been

6266
03:33:55,970 --> 03:33:58,510
picturesque and the weather's better, I'm John C.

6267
03:33:58,570 --> 03:33:58,970
Dvorak.

6268
03:33:59,050 --> 03:34:01,410
We return on Thursday with more of your

6269
03:34:01,410 --> 03:34:02,250
Noah Jenner Show.

6270
03:34:02,350 --> 03:34:03,650
We hope you will join us for that.

6271
03:34:03,730 --> 03:34:04,970
We certainly look forward to it.

6272
03:34:04,990 --> 03:34:06,830
I'm sure there will be something to deconstruct.

6273
03:34:06,830 --> 03:34:08,990
Remember us at noagendadonations.com.

6274
03:34:09,490 --> 03:34:12,490
Until then, adios, mofos, a-hooey, hooey, and

6275
03:34:12,490 --> 03:34:12,890
such.

6276
03:34:14,570 --> 03:34:16,270
He said we're going to put tariffs on

6277
03:34:16,270 --> 03:34:16,670
Mexico.

6278
03:34:17,230 --> 03:34:18,710
Well, senators said, wait a minute.

6279
03:34:19,210 --> 03:34:21,030
Republicans on the Hill haven't shown a whole

6280
03:34:21,030 --> 03:34:22,930
lot of willingness to stand up to this

6281
03:34:22,930 --> 03:34:23,130
motion.

6282
03:34:23,210 --> 03:34:25,370
He's got a 90% approval rating among

6283
03:34:25,370 --> 03:34:27,810
Republican voters, and all the Republican senators know

6284
03:34:27,810 --> 03:34:28,030
that.

6285
03:34:28,110 --> 03:34:30,070
And every month those tariffs go from 5

6286
03:34:30,070 --> 03:34:32,670
% to 10% to 15% to

6287
03:34:32,670 --> 03:34:34,330
20% and then to 25%.

6288
03:34:34,330 --> 03:34:35,730
Hence the color orange.

6289
03:34:36,290 --> 03:34:38,590
Tariffs is what it takes to get Mexico

6290
03:34:38,590 --> 03:34:40,670
to do better on their side of the

6291
03:34:40,670 --> 03:34:40,930
border.

6292
03:34:41,150 --> 03:34:42,070
I'm all for tariffs.

6293
03:34:42,230 --> 03:34:44,750
President Trump has a habit of proposing asinine

6294
03:34:44,750 --> 03:34:47,230
and dangerous policies before backing off.

6295
03:34:47,510 --> 03:34:50,650
It would be my hope that they're going

6296
03:34:50,650 --> 03:34:52,550
to work out things so the tariffs don't

6297
03:34:52,550 --> 03:34:53,330
go into effect.

6298
03:34:53,370 --> 03:34:55,050
It just will not work.

6299
03:34:55,350 --> 03:34:58,010
And this will directly and immediately affect the

6300
03:34:58,010 --> 03:34:58,790
American consumer.

6301
03:34:58,890 --> 03:35:00,150
So maybe it's just a threat.

6302
03:35:00,270 --> 03:35:00,790
Who knows?

6303
03:35:00,790 --> 03:35:02,610
The last thing that he said is that

6304
03:35:02,610 --> 03:35:03,890
he's deadly serious.

6305
03:35:04,070 --> 03:35:06,690
When you say you and I know, I

6306
03:35:06,690 --> 03:35:07,690
don't know that at all.

6307
03:35:07,770 --> 03:35:08,590
Here's what I know.

6308
03:35:08,730 --> 03:35:10,110
I don't know whether to believe it or

6309
03:35:10,110 --> 03:35:10,390
not.

6310
03:35:10,710 --> 03:35:11,710
I say to this child, I know what

6311
03:35:11,710 --> 03:35:12,690
I'm told, not what I know.

6312
03:35:12,930 --> 03:35:14,290
But I do know that if we secure

6313
03:35:14,290 --> 03:35:16,590
the Mexican-Guatemalan border, that would be a

6314
03:35:16,590 --> 03:35:18,130
great way to stop hosts coming all the

6315
03:35:18,130 --> 03:35:18,650
way across.

6316
03:35:18,970 --> 03:35:19,590
But we're not done.

6317
03:35:19,850 --> 03:35:21,970
We haven't seen anything yet.

6318
03:35:22,550 --> 03:35:23,390
Except a tweet.

6319
03:35:24,390 --> 03:35:25,090
A tweet.

6320
03:35:25,490 --> 03:35:28,110
Mitch McConnell finally found his testicles because it's

6321
03:35:28,110 --> 03:35:28,690
near his wallet.

6322
03:35:28,690 --> 03:35:33,430
People have endured much worse than expensive avocados

6323
03:35:33,430 --> 03:35:35,270
or a few more dollars here and there.

6324
03:35:35,430 --> 03:35:38,030
And for the average American broke, that is

6325
03:35:38,030 --> 03:35:39,970
no small amount of money.

6326
03:35:40,230 --> 03:35:41,390
A lot of money.

6327
03:35:41,630 --> 03:35:42,070
$1,300.

6328
03:35:42,570 --> 03:35:44,410
Any brand of course with avocado on the

6329
03:35:44,410 --> 03:35:46,410
menu will be impacted by this tariff.

6330
03:35:46,510 --> 03:35:48,410
I'm not blaming President Trump here.

6331
03:35:48,670 --> 03:35:51,230
I'm blaming the Congress because we can't do

6332
03:35:51,230 --> 03:35:51,770
our job.

6333
03:35:51,930 --> 03:35:55,430
As you know, we have, with President Trump,

6334
03:35:55,670 --> 03:35:57,710
been kind of a roller coaster.

6335
03:35:57,710 --> 03:36:01,010
So sometimes he's going up, sometimes he's coming

6336
03:36:01,010 --> 03:36:01,510
down.

6337
03:36:01,550 --> 03:36:04,130
This is the man that lost more money

6338
03:36:04,130 --> 03:36:07,730
than any other American person on the planet.

6339
03:36:07,850 --> 03:36:09,790
This guy has lost more money than anybody.

6340
03:36:09,990 --> 03:36:10,150
That's true.

6341
03:36:10,650 --> 03:36:12,750
New unit, acronym AHA.

6342
03:36:13,450 --> 03:36:15,110
Definitely the swear words.

6343
03:36:15,450 --> 03:36:16,430
He laughs at fear.

6344
03:36:17,150 --> 03:36:18,130
Or damn.

6345
03:36:18,310 --> 03:36:20,590
He pauls in the valley and rejoices for

6346
03:36:20,590 --> 03:36:21,030
shit.

6347
03:36:21,170 --> 03:36:22,930
Turns out we were pretty right about the

6348
03:36:22,930 --> 03:36:24,630
true value of TikTok.

6349
03:36:25,010 --> 03:36:27,130
Followed by don't be so flippant man.

6350
03:36:27,130 --> 03:36:27,750
AHA.

6351
03:36:27,910 --> 03:36:28,890
Mine were cut off.

6352
03:36:28,910 --> 03:36:30,230
You've never met a gay dog?

6353
03:36:30,530 --> 03:36:30,930
Really?

6354
03:36:31,250 --> 03:36:31,610
AHA.

6355
03:36:31,750 --> 03:36:33,750
And the guilt is eating me alive.

6356
03:36:33,910 --> 03:36:35,830
He does not stand still in the voice.

6357
03:36:35,930 --> 03:36:36,310
AHA.

6358
03:36:36,470 --> 03:36:37,130
Of the trumpet.

6359
03:36:37,250 --> 03:36:38,190
He says AHA.

6360
03:36:38,350 --> 03:36:40,150
Baby dogs are almost as gay as dolphins.

6361
03:36:40,350 --> 03:36:41,650
You need to get it together my guy.

6362
03:36:41,870 --> 03:36:42,810
Don't be so flippant?

6363
03:36:42,950 --> 03:36:44,230
And do you know that that never was

6364
03:36:44,230 --> 03:36:44,650
a jingle?

6365
03:36:44,870 --> 03:36:46,410
How dare you be so flippant man?

6366
03:36:46,590 --> 03:36:48,330
He sayeth among the trumpet, AHA.

6367
03:36:48,650 --> 03:36:49,430
Dogs are gay.

6368
03:36:49,550 --> 03:36:51,370
The glory of his nostrils is terrible.

6369
03:36:51,610 --> 03:36:53,010
Okay, what was the question?

6370
03:36:53,130 --> 03:36:55,810
The Chinese never go to the gouging phase.

6371
03:36:55,810 --> 03:36:57,730
It makes no sense.

6372
03:36:57,850 --> 03:36:58,510
Great question.

6373
03:36:58,610 --> 03:36:59,550
Now this is interesting.

6374
03:36:59,990 --> 03:37:02,110
Oh remarkable my ass.

6375
03:37:02,510 --> 03:37:06,150
I mean we hear these illogic complaints constantly.

6376
03:37:06,330 --> 03:37:07,070
President Pump.

6377
03:37:07,330 --> 03:37:08,030
That's his new name.

6378
03:37:08,290 --> 03:37:10,570
31% of Democrats were more likely to

6379
03:37:10,570 --> 03:37:12,370
move to a place within 5 miles of

6380
03:37:12,370 --> 03:37:13,270
a Trader Joe's.

6381
03:37:13,470 --> 03:37:15,230
Only 10% of Republicans.

6382
03:37:15,730 --> 03:37:16,790
The angry baby.

6383
03:37:17,050 --> 03:37:18,770
Let's call them delusional Dems.

6384
03:37:18,850 --> 03:37:19,970
You like the angry baby.

6385
03:37:20,730 --> 03:37:22,810
Radicalizing them around this particular.

6386
03:37:22,950 --> 03:37:23,910
There you go.

6387
03:37:23,910 --> 03:37:26,730
He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage.

6388
03:37:26,850 --> 03:37:28,230
I never heard it as a jingle.

6389
03:37:28,450 --> 03:37:28,810
AHA.

6390
03:37:28,930 --> 03:37:30,290
Definitely the swear words.

6391
03:37:30,450 --> 03:37:32,190
He sayeth among the trumpet, AHA.

6392
03:37:32,410 --> 03:37:33,630
Everyone's hearing Palmer.

6393
03:37:33,930 --> 03:37:35,930
Those child care centers will now face closure

6394
03:37:35,930 --> 03:37:38,030
or significantly higher operating costs.

6395
03:37:38,270 --> 03:37:39,610
And then once you get it to yourself

6396
03:37:39,610 --> 03:37:40,090
you gouge.

6397
03:37:40,650 --> 03:37:41,170
Really?

6398
03:37:41,570 --> 03:37:42,050
AHA.

6399
03:37:46,650 --> 03:37:50,310
The best podcast in the universe.

6400
03:37:51,070 --> 03:37:51,690
Mopo.

6401
03:37:51,830 --> 03:37:53,310
Dvorak.org.

6402
03:37:53,790 --> 03:37:54,270
Slash.

6403
03:37:54,690 --> 03:37:54,790
N.

6404
03:37:54,950 --> 03:37:55,150
A.

6405
03:37:55,910 --> 03:37:57,270
10 out of 10.

6406
03:37:57,530 --> 03:37:58,110
Perfection.
