1
00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:02,210
I want a watercolor of my dog!

2
00:00:02,690 --> 00:00:04,210
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,350 --> 00:00:04,750
Devorah.

4
00:00:04,830 --> 00:00:06,510
It's Sunday, May 4th, 2025.

5
00:00:06,810 --> 00:00:08,450
This is your award-winning Gimbal Nation Media

6
00:00:08,450 --> 00:00:11,070
Assassination episode 1761.

7
00:00:11,450 --> 00:00:13,010
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:17,670
Digging in the news desert and broadcasting live

9
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:19,270
from the heart of the Texas hill country

10
00:00:19,270 --> 00:00:21,510
here in FEMA region number 6.

11
00:00:21,910 --> 00:00:24,030
In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

12
00:00:24,030 --> 00:00:26,690
And from northern Silicon Valley where we're celebrating

13
00:00:26,690 --> 00:00:29,310
the Cinco de Mayo show special.

14
00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:30,090
I'm John C.

15
00:00:30,190 --> 00:00:30,490
Devorah.

16
00:00:31,049 --> 00:00:32,750
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.

17
00:00:32,890 --> 00:00:33,950
In the morning.

18
00:00:34,890 --> 00:00:36,850
You know, it's Cinco de Cuatro.

19
00:00:38,270 --> 00:00:39,210
Yeah, I know.

20
00:00:39,370 --> 00:00:40,070
It's the 4th.

21
00:00:40,210 --> 00:00:42,150
May the 4th be with you.

22
00:00:42,170 --> 00:00:43,550
May the 4th be with you, yes, indeed.

23
00:00:44,230 --> 00:00:47,610
And we just missed it in the Netherlands

24
00:00:47,610 --> 00:00:50,530
on May 4th at 8pm.

25
00:00:50,610 --> 00:00:51,910
I think we've talked about this before.

26
00:00:52,550 --> 00:00:54,890
At 8pm, everybody stops.

27
00:00:55,190 --> 00:00:57,950
The bells toll for, I think it's one

28
00:00:57,950 --> 00:00:58,610
or two minutes.

29
00:00:59,170 --> 00:01:00,810
And we have a moment of silence for

30
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:02,330
the victims of World War II.

31
00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:05,790
Because tomorrow is Liberation Day in Europe.

32
00:01:06,730 --> 00:01:06,970
Yeah.

33
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:10,230
We don't even celebrate any of that here.

34
00:01:10,430 --> 00:01:13,650
I'm so confused about, you know, we've got...

35
00:01:13,650 --> 00:01:14,670
We've given up.

36
00:01:14,930 --> 00:01:16,250
We've got May 5th.

37
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:18,670
We've given up taking credit for anything.

38
00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:20,690
Yes, we've got May 9th.

39
00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:22,950
President Trump...

40
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:25,570
April 29th was...

41
00:01:26,350 --> 00:01:27,330
Was it 1606?

42
00:01:29,470 --> 00:01:32,270
That they landed and founded Jamestown.

43
00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:33,510
We've got all kinds of proclamations.

44
00:01:34,050 --> 00:01:35,390
I need to get that going again.

45
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:37,070
I used to track all the proclamations.

46
00:01:37,450 --> 00:01:39,970
Obama was really, really good at it.

47
00:01:40,050 --> 00:01:41,010
And then we got...

48
00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:42,370
I don't think Trump did many of that

49
00:01:42,370 --> 00:01:43,210
in the first term.

50
00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:45,070
But Biden did nothing.

51
00:01:45,250 --> 00:01:48,710
Except for Trans Awareness Day.

52
00:01:49,290 --> 00:01:50,250
Trans Awareness Day.

53
00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:51,050
On Easter.

54
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:54,350
So I've got to keep tracking that.

55
00:01:54,490 --> 00:01:55,870
President Trump is doing a lot of these

56
00:01:55,870 --> 00:01:56,190
things.

57
00:01:57,390 --> 00:01:58,990
Oh wait, was it May 6th?

58
00:01:59,090 --> 00:01:59,810
Right, thank you.

59
00:02:00,030 --> 00:02:03,170
May 6th, Pim Fortuyn was murdered in the

60
00:02:03,170 --> 00:02:03,570
Netherlands.

61
00:02:04,410 --> 00:02:05,290
And that was now...

62
00:02:05,290 --> 00:02:05,990
Crap, what is that?

63
00:02:06,390 --> 00:02:08,110
That'll be 25 years ago, I think.

64
00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:11,690
He was the guy that he won posthumously.

65
00:02:11,850 --> 00:02:14,390
They assassinated him two weeks before the election.

66
00:02:15,130 --> 00:02:15,410
Yeah.

67
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:17,470
Like a knife in his heart.

68
00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:19,730
No, no, no, that was Theo van Gogh.

69
00:02:19,850 --> 00:02:20,930
No, they shot him in the head.

70
00:02:21,090 --> 00:02:22,030
At the radio station.

71
00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:24,250
Oh, he was shot in the head at

72
00:02:24,250 --> 00:02:25,130
the radio station.

73
00:02:25,250 --> 00:02:26,310
That's what I just said.

74
00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:29,030
There's no security at the radio station, apparently.

75
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:31,010
Well, there was, but...

76
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:34,310
It was outside in the parking lot.

77
00:02:34,370 --> 00:02:36,750
He had just walked outside and then faltered

78
00:02:36,750 --> 00:02:37,770
from the Graaf.

79
00:02:38,310 --> 00:02:40,110
We had a famous Denver...

80
00:02:40,870 --> 00:02:41,830
This was years ago.

81
00:02:42,610 --> 00:02:43,910
30 plus years ago.

82
00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:46,130
There was a famous Denver shock jock.

83
00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:49,350
That was shot in the parking lot.

84
00:02:49,970 --> 00:02:50,590
Yeah, who was that?

85
00:02:50,650 --> 00:02:51,550
I forget that story.

86
00:02:51,730 --> 00:02:52,510
Yeah, you remember that guy.

87
00:02:52,850 --> 00:02:56,810
But this was a politician.

88
00:02:57,330 --> 00:02:58,530
And that was 23 years ago.

89
00:02:58,810 --> 00:02:58,910
Right.

90
00:02:59,990 --> 00:03:01,710
And the guy who killed him is out

91
00:03:01,710 --> 00:03:02,010
free.

92
00:03:04,530 --> 00:03:05,590
The Dutch, man.

93
00:03:05,730 --> 00:03:06,090
It's crazy.

94
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:07,330
Why not?

95
00:03:07,570 --> 00:03:09,110
He served his time.

96
00:03:10,370 --> 00:03:12,190
Pim's never coming back, but let him walk

97
00:03:12,190 --> 00:03:12,570
around.

98
00:03:12,670 --> 00:03:13,130
It's all good.

99
00:03:13,130 --> 00:03:14,810
You can't even say his name in the

100
00:03:14,810 --> 00:03:15,130
media.

101
00:03:15,930 --> 00:03:18,090
You have to say Fokert van der G.

102
00:03:18,730 --> 00:03:20,290
You can't say his last name.

103
00:03:20,350 --> 00:03:21,110
Because he has protection.

104
00:03:21,290 --> 00:03:22,030
He has rights.

105
00:03:22,870 --> 00:03:23,530
He has rights.

106
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:27,910
Yeah, you laugh, but it's pathetic.

107
00:03:28,610 --> 00:03:29,630
It is pathetic.

108
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:30,490
It's really pathetic.

109
00:03:30,550 --> 00:03:31,410
It's great.

110
00:03:31,850 --> 00:03:33,250
Hey, good news.

111
00:03:34,350 --> 00:03:36,390
The Press Freedom Index is out.

112
00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:38,090
The Press Freedom Index, everybody.

113
00:03:38,950 --> 00:03:41,410
Which is a big deal in press land.

114
00:03:41,890 --> 00:03:43,750
Yeah, especially if you're a left winger.

115
00:03:44,030 --> 00:03:46,190
Yes, well, let's have a listen here.

116
00:03:46,410 --> 00:03:48,170
As to who's the best.

117
00:03:48,510 --> 00:03:50,310
Who's number one at press freedom.

118
00:03:50,670 --> 00:03:52,270
The European press is suffocating.

119
00:03:52,930 --> 00:03:54,970
While the continent remains the leading region in

120
00:03:54,970 --> 00:03:57,310
the World Press Freedom Index published on Friday

121
00:03:57,310 --> 00:04:01,050
by Reporters Without Borders, the situation is deteriorating.

122
00:04:01,770 --> 00:04:05,530
Economic difficulties are threatening editorial offices, especially independent

123
00:04:05,530 --> 00:04:05,930
ones.

124
00:04:06,370 --> 00:04:08,510
The media are facing both the end of

125
00:04:08,510 --> 00:04:11,390
American aid and the strengthening of Russian propaganda.

126
00:04:11,810 --> 00:04:12,150
Norway.

127
00:04:13,870 --> 00:04:18,170
So it's American aid that makes press freedom

128
00:04:18,170 --> 00:04:18,910
a big deal.

129
00:04:19,410 --> 00:04:23,570
Without American aid, they can't do anything because

130
00:04:23,570 --> 00:04:24,390
they're too stupid.

131
00:04:24,730 --> 00:04:26,130
They need American aid.

132
00:04:26,330 --> 00:04:27,630
Wait until you hear the list.

133
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:31,070
Norway, Estonia and the Netherlands dominate this ranking.

134
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:32,090
This is the best.

135
00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:35,830
Number three in press freedom on the list

136
00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:36,690
is the Netherlands.

137
00:04:37,250 --> 00:04:39,110
Are you kidding me?

138
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:42,610
One of the most suppressed countries news-wise

139
00:04:42,610 --> 00:04:43,890
in the world.

140
00:04:45,130 --> 00:04:45,710
Oh no.

141
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:46,510
Number three.

142
00:04:46,930 --> 00:04:49,570
Already this list is suspect.

143
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:50,630
You think?

144
00:04:51,090 --> 00:04:54,750
Conversely, Greece, Serbia and Kosovo are the continent's

145
00:04:54,750 --> 00:04:56,130
lowest ranked countries.

146
00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:59,130
Within the European Union, Athens comes last.

147
00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:03,350
In Greece, press freedom is really suffocated by

148
00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:06,350
impunity of crimes committed against journalists.

149
00:05:06,570 --> 00:05:10,730
Here I'm talking about the assassination of journalist

150
00:05:10,730 --> 00:05:12,210
Georgios Karavas in 2021.

151
00:05:12,730 --> 00:05:15,710
There has been one trial so far and

152
00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:17,930
the accused have been acquitted.

153
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:18,670
Hungary.

154
00:05:20,510 --> 00:05:22,750
Something happened in 2021?

155
00:05:24,110 --> 00:05:24,330
Yeah.

156
00:05:24,750 --> 00:05:26,350
So that puts them at the bottom of

157
00:05:26,350 --> 00:05:27,430
the list in 2025?

158
00:05:29,070 --> 00:05:32,270
It's kind of like the Oscars the way

159
00:05:32,270 --> 00:05:32,950
they do this.

160
00:05:33,550 --> 00:05:35,910
It's bullcrap but everyone's talking about it.

161
00:05:36,490 --> 00:05:39,070
The press freedom index is out.

162
00:05:39,570 --> 00:05:42,630
Just because of how many journalists were murdered?

163
00:05:43,330 --> 00:05:45,890
Well, that gives you negative points, yes.

164
00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:47,810
They actually explain.

165
00:05:48,090 --> 00:05:48,650
Have been acquitted?

166
00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:51,410
Hungary, singled out for its attacks on the

167
00:05:51,410 --> 00:05:53,450
rule of law, ranks higher than Greece.

168
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:55,270
But it owes this to the fact that

169
00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:58,330
no journalist has been killed, explains Reporters Without

170
00:05:58,330 --> 00:05:58,670
Borders.

171
00:05:58,850 --> 00:06:00,250
Well, get on the stick, Hungary.

172
00:06:00,690 --> 00:06:01,610
Shoot some of those people.

173
00:06:02,830 --> 00:06:04,870
You're not doing a good job.

174
00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:07,350
The organization points out that the Hungarian Prime

175
00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:09,750
Minister uses other means to control information.

176
00:06:10,130 --> 00:06:13,070
Some 80% of editorial offices are controlled

177
00:06:13,070 --> 00:06:14,790
by people close to Viktor Orban.

178
00:06:15,090 --> 00:06:17,150
While Europe remains the safest zone for the

179
00:06:17,150 --> 00:06:19,870
media, Reporters Without Borders stresses that the Union

180
00:06:19,870 --> 00:06:20,790
must remain vigilant.

181
00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:23,630
It's so interesting.

182
00:06:23,970 --> 00:06:24,570
I'll finish.

183
00:06:25,650 --> 00:06:27,750
The precise reason is the adoption last year

184
00:06:27,750 --> 00:06:30,570
of the European Media Freedom Act by the

185
00:06:30,570 --> 00:06:32,530
European Union which is historical legislation.

186
00:06:33,170 --> 00:06:34,490
So where do you think we are on

187
00:06:34,490 --> 00:06:34,770
the list?

188
00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:36,310
We're down two spots, by the way, from

189
00:06:36,310 --> 00:06:36,870
last year.

190
00:06:37,930 --> 00:06:39,090
I think we're around 20.

191
00:06:39,930 --> 00:06:40,410
57.

192
00:06:41,530 --> 00:06:42,890
We're around 57.

193
00:06:43,150 --> 00:06:44,230
Yeah, and you know why?

194
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:48,790
Because President Trump has such good relationships with

195
00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:49,250
the press.

196
00:06:52,410 --> 00:06:54,070
This is insane.

197
00:06:55,150 --> 00:06:56,910
At the bottom, you can already guess.

198
00:06:57,630 --> 00:06:58,430
Let's see.

199
00:06:59,030 --> 00:06:59,670
Where's Russia?

200
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:01,170
Russia, 171.

201
00:07:02,330 --> 00:07:02,930
Djibouti.

202
00:07:04,630 --> 00:07:06,870
Egypt is higher than Russia.

203
00:07:08,270 --> 00:07:09,910
So yeah, the top five.

204
00:07:10,090 --> 00:07:12,210
Press freedom, best places to be a journalist.

205
00:07:12,670 --> 00:07:14,570
Norway, Estonia, Netherlands, Sweden.

206
00:07:15,590 --> 00:07:16,190
Sweden.

207
00:07:17,030 --> 00:07:18,950
Where all they do is lie about the

208
00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:20,310
immigrant situation.

209
00:07:21,010 --> 00:07:23,450
Finland, Denmark, Ireland, Portugal.

210
00:07:23,970 --> 00:07:24,850
Well, we know Portugal.

211
00:07:25,010 --> 00:07:26,210
They lie about their outage.

212
00:07:26,730 --> 00:07:27,230
Switzerland.

213
00:07:28,650 --> 00:07:29,130
Germany.

214
00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:30,870
Germany, number 11.

215
00:07:30,990 --> 00:07:32,730
Yeah, the more you suppress your people, the

216
00:07:32,730 --> 00:07:34,550
more press freedom you have.

217
00:07:35,790 --> 00:07:36,690
Germany's 11?

218
00:07:37,150 --> 00:07:37,430
Yeah.

219
00:07:38,450 --> 00:07:39,410
That's ridiculous.

220
00:07:40,030 --> 00:07:41,650
Right ahead of Liechtenstein.

221
00:07:41,870 --> 00:07:43,390
I think the only people who live there

222
00:07:43,390 --> 00:07:43,970
are journalists.

223
00:07:44,110 --> 00:07:45,470
How many people live in Liechtenstein?

224
00:07:46,970 --> 00:07:49,150
I'm sorry, Liechtenstein.

225
00:07:49,450 --> 00:07:50,150
I'm just kidding.

226
00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:53,890
When we get some Liechtensteiners to donate to

227
00:07:53,890 --> 00:07:55,130
the show, maybe we can be a little

228
00:07:55,130 --> 00:07:55,970
more genteel.

229
00:07:56,470 --> 00:07:59,490
So, of course, this comes at an opportune

230
00:07:59,490 --> 00:08:01,650
moment where we have all kinds of issues

231
00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:03,810
in America where we are suppressing the free

232
00:08:03,810 --> 00:08:04,210
press.

233
00:08:04,250 --> 00:08:06,410
We're shutting down Voice of America.

234
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:07,190
And oh no!

235
00:08:07,550 --> 00:08:07,990
NPR!

236
00:08:08,350 --> 00:08:08,690
PBS!

237
00:08:09,290 --> 00:08:11,330
Let's bring in Clayton Wymos.

238
00:08:11,450 --> 00:08:12,230
He's the US Secretary.

239
00:08:12,270 --> 00:08:13,690
Stop the clip again.

240
00:08:13,890 --> 00:08:14,730
I'm going to be interrupted.

241
00:08:14,850 --> 00:08:16,590
You are interruptive today.

242
00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:20,390
Remember, as we listen to the NPR and

243
00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:24,710
PBS complaining, the total loss of income to

244
00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:27,750
these operations if the government stops giving them

245
00:08:27,750 --> 00:08:29,910
money, which they will, and they have, I

246
00:08:29,910 --> 00:08:33,789
guess Trump did something, is 1%.

247
00:08:34,710 --> 00:08:35,309
1%.

248
00:08:35,309 --> 00:08:36,169
Remember that.

249
00:08:36,270 --> 00:08:40,370
It's $500 million, according to Ms. Meier.

250
00:08:40,570 --> 00:08:40,909
Meier.

251
00:08:41,169 --> 00:08:41,450
Meier.

252
00:08:41,770 --> 00:08:43,110
But let's just continue.

253
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:45,170
This is a report from France.

254
00:08:45,330 --> 00:08:47,670
For more on that, let's bring in Clayton

255
00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:48,190
Wymos.

256
00:08:48,350 --> 00:08:51,470
He's the US Executive Director of Reporters Without

257
00:08:51,470 --> 00:08:51,870
Borders.

258
00:08:52,030 --> 00:08:53,350
It's such a pleasure to have you with

259
00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:55,090
us on the program today.

260
00:08:55,870 --> 00:08:58,050
As we just saw in that report, for

261
00:08:58,050 --> 00:09:00,090
the first time in history, the Bain Index

262
00:09:00,090 --> 00:09:02,630
for press freedom is at its lowest ever

263
00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:03,070
score.

264
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:05,310
Just starting with the United States, help us

265
00:09:05,310 --> 00:09:07,630
get a grasp of just how much press

266
00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:09,130
freedom has slipped under Donald Trump.

267
00:09:09,670 --> 00:09:10,990
Thank you for having me.

268
00:09:12,430 --> 00:09:15,430
He's been there for 100 days already, press

269
00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:16,330
freedom slipping.

270
00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:18,630
All we see is press about him.

271
00:09:18,630 --> 00:09:19,170
Negative.

272
00:09:20,110 --> 00:09:21,330
All of it, except for Fox.

273
00:09:21,870 --> 00:09:22,790
We're all positive.

274
00:09:23,310 --> 00:09:25,070
Both sides of the same coin.

275
00:09:25,370 --> 00:09:25,850
Bull crap.

276
00:09:25,890 --> 00:09:27,950
Yes, but 85% of them are negative.

277
00:09:28,170 --> 00:09:29,690
That number's been floating around.

278
00:09:29,890 --> 00:09:31,870
Yeah, well, then how come it's slipping?

279
00:09:32,090 --> 00:09:34,090
Remember that the index is a snapshot in

280
00:09:34,090 --> 00:09:35,730
time of the previous year.

281
00:09:35,870 --> 00:09:38,250
All the data we collected is from 2024.

282
00:09:39,010 --> 00:09:40,590
And so the decline in the United States

283
00:09:40,590 --> 00:09:42,130
is really one that's been going on for

284
00:09:42,130 --> 00:09:43,370
the better part of a decade.

285
00:09:43,610 --> 00:09:44,830
Under Biden, I guess.

286
00:09:44,830 --> 00:09:46,930
When we first started doing the index in

287
00:09:46,930 --> 00:09:50,070
2002, the United States ranked 17th in the

288
00:09:50,070 --> 00:09:50,330
world.

289
00:09:50,650 --> 00:09:52,990
It's now down to 57th out of 180

290
00:09:52,990 --> 00:09:53,490
countries.

291
00:09:53,890 --> 00:09:56,190
And that is reflected in the fact that

292
00:09:56,190 --> 00:09:59,790
all five indicators that we measure have been

293
00:09:59,790 --> 00:10:02,470
taking hits year after year, especially the economic

294
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:05,730
indicator due to massive layoffs in the media

295
00:10:05,730 --> 00:10:09,090
industry and the closure of newsrooms all across

296
00:10:09,090 --> 00:10:10,930
the country treating a news desert problem.

297
00:10:11,250 --> 00:10:12,930
But in recent years, it's really become a

298
00:10:12,930 --> 00:10:16,430
political and cultural problem with the massive decline

299
00:10:16,430 --> 00:10:18,350
in trust between the public and the media

300
00:10:18,350 --> 00:10:22,850
and outright attacks by politicians, in particular President

301
00:10:22,850 --> 00:10:23,530
Donald Trump.

302
00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:25,990
I should add, though, that everything that's happened

303
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:28,810
in President Trump's second administration for the past

304
00:10:28,810 --> 00:10:31,090
100 or so days has not been counted

305
00:10:31,090 --> 00:10:32,030
in the index data.

306
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:35,050
So the decline is continuing before our very

307
00:10:35,050 --> 00:10:35,470
eyes.

308
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:36,530
Things are only getting worse.

309
00:10:36,810 --> 00:10:39,450
It's only getting worse during Trump, even though

310
00:10:39,450 --> 00:10:40,430
it's 85%.

311
00:10:40,430 --> 00:10:45,090
There's no data, but it's getting worse somehow.

312
00:10:45,830 --> 00:10:47,490
Here's what's so interesting.

313
00:10:48,430 --> 00:10:53,070
They don't take the plethora of alternative media

314
00:10:53,070 --> 00:10:54,890
into account whatsoever.

315
00:10:55,810 --> 00:10:58,670
There's been nothing but more, more press freedom.

316
00:10:59,170 --> 00:11:02,610
Go look at the Midas Touch folks, if

317
00:11:02,610 --> 00:11:03,350
you believe them.

318
00:11:03,950 --> 00:11:04,830
The Midas.

319
00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:07,850
Yeah, there's a lot of them.

320
00:11:08,310 --> 00:11:13,750
But maybe that's the point, is that there's

321
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:15,510
too much press freedom.

322
00:11:16,410 --> 00:11:19,310
And the people who consider their job to

323
00:11:19,310 --> 00:11:25,290
be journalists who have data, they think, it's

324
00:11:25,290 --> 00:11:28,250
slipping because all this fake news, podcasters.

325
00:11:28,650 --> 00:11:34,070
Newsrooms, you know, the Midas Touch, there's no

326
00:11:34,070 --> 00:11:34,830
newsroom.

327
00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:35,950
They got a newsroom.

328
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:38,750
It's a little closet where the guy sits,

329
00:11:38,850 --> 00:11:39,530
but it's a newsroom.

330
00:11:40,590 --> 00:11:42,790
So thanks to the Jones Brothers syndicate, we

331
00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:44,390
have some of the morning, the Sunday morning

332
00:11:44,390 --> 00:11:47,110
shows are always the big, that's the big

333
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:49,290
press freedom round people like to do in

334
00:11:49,290 --> 00:11:50,210
Washington, D.C. Yeah, they used to service

335
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:51,910
me with some clips once in a while,

336
00:11:52,010 --> 00:11:55,290
but those days are over because you've somehow

337
00:11:55,290 --> 00:11:56,130
queered the deal.

338
00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:57,090
I don't know what you did.

339
00:11:57,310 --> 00:11:58,290
Queered the deal?

340
00:11:59,110 --> 00:12:00,050
I did nothing.

341
00:12:01,170 --> 00:12:02,650
Maybe I'm just, maybe I just send them

342
00:12:02,650 --> 00:12:04,390
a note and say, thanks, I really appreciate

343
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:04,670
you.

344
00:12:05,130 --> 00:12:08,070
Maybe that's why, you know, I'm pretty good

345
00:12:08,070 --> 00:12:08,690
about that.

346
00:12:09,930 --> 00:12:13,930
So, CBS, CBS, Face the Nation, Margaret Brennan

347
00:12:13,930 --> 00:12:16,710
had Paula Kerger on.

348
00:12:18,490 --> 00:12:20,450
You're saying, who is Paula Kerger?

349
00:12:21,530 --> 00:12:22,590
Who is Paula Kerger?

350
00:12:22,850 --> 00:12:26,130
She is the CEO of PBS, your favorite

351
00:12:26,130 --> 00:12:28,390
station, your Capehart and Brooks station.

352
00:12:29,810 --> 00:12:31,190
And at the same time, I don't know

353
00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:32,030
who Mara was.

354
00:12:32,190 --> 00:12:34,970
No, she's NPR, so she had them both

355
00:12:34,970 --> 00:12:35,170
on.

356
00:12:35,330 --> 00:12:36,750
So she's a different spook.

357
00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:40,090
Do you notice a pattern here?

358
00:12:40,390 --> 00:12:44,090
The CEOs of the two largest partially government

359
00:12:44,090 --> 00:12:48,410
-funded news organizations with actual newsrooms are women.

360
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:51,950
And they got some complaining they're doing.

361
00:12:52,330 --> 00:13:01,150
The president tweeted or socialed or truthed Republicans

362
00:13:01,150 --> 00:13:04,450
must defund and totally disassociate themselves from NPR

363
00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:07,150
and PBS, the radical left monsters that so

364
00:13:07,150 --> 00:13:08,230
badly hurt our country.

365
00:13:08,750 --> 00:13:09,970
I have to tell you.

366
00:13:10,270 --> 00:13:11,670
What's this woman's name again?

367
00:13:11,930 --> 00:13:13,270
This is Margaret.

368
00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:15,470
This is Margaret Brennan, but it will be

369
00:13:15,470 --> 00:13:16,510
- That was Margaret.

370
00:13:16,650 --> 00:13:17,250
I didn't understand.

371
00:13:20,250 --> 00:13:23,270
Paula Kerger, K-E-R-G-E-R.

372
00:13:24,110 --> 00:13:25,810
You look her up, and I'll continue.

373
00:13:26,130 --> 00:13:27,370
I thought of Cookie Monster.

374
00:13:27,550 --> 00:13:30,450
I thought of Sesame Street, and I thought

375
00:13:30,450 --> 00:13:32,090
of that children's programming.

376
00:13:32,450 --> 00:13:34,910
That is in many ways what people think

377
00:13:34,910 --> 00:13:36,050
of when they think of PBS.

378
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:36,630
Absolutely.

379
00:13:38,990 --> 00:13:40,830
You're going to do that the whole show?

380
00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:43,870
You step on my clips too.

381
00:13:44,930 --> 00:13:45,410
Absolutely.

382
00:13:45,410 --> 00:13:49,010
And out of this executive order, we believe

383
00:13:49,010 --> 00:13:50,590
it impacts our funding out of the Department

384
00:13:50,590 --> 00:13:53,450
of Education, which is a 30-year program

385
00:13:53,450 --> 00:13:56,430
that has supported not only the creation of

386
00:13:56,430 --> 00:13:58,470
many of the children's programming that you see

387
00:13:58,470 --> 00:14:01,430
on public television, but also the research that

388
00:14:01,430 --> 00:14:04,010
we do to ensure that that programming is

389
00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:06,410
not just safe and enjoyable, but the children,

390
00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:10,370
after watching, come away with understanding of basic

391
00:14:10,370 --> 00:14:11,170
letters and numbers.

392
00:14:11,170 --> 00:14:12,770
Half the kids in this country are not

393
00:14:12,770 --> 00:14:13,870
enrolled in formal pre-K.

394
00:14:14,390 --> 00:14:17,370
That's why programming on public television...

395
00:14:17,370 --> 00:14:19,270
They're not enrolled in formal pre-K.

396
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:20,830
We have to save the children.

397
00:14:21,450 --> 00:14:22,950
Former pre-K.

398
00:14:23,150 --> 00:14:23,550
Formal.

399
00:14:26,690 --> 00:14:29,190
Their job is now to educate our children.

400
00:14:29,370 --> 00:14:30,310
She's saying it right here.

401
00:14:31,210 --> 00:14:33,210
You don't have your child in pre-K.

402
00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:34,610
It used to just be K.

403
00:14:35,530 --> 00:14:36,550
What happened to just K?

404
00:14:36,890 --> 00:14:37,810
K-12.

405
00:14:37,810 --> 00:14:39,290
Now it's P-K-12.

406
00:14:40,930 --> 00:14:43,030
You're a bad parent if you haven't enrolled

407
00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:44,410
your child in pre-K.

408
00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:47,830
That's why programming for children on public television

409
00:14:47,830 --> 00:14:48,450
was created.

410
00:14:48,590 --> 00:14:50,190
That was the idea with Sesame Street and

411
00:14:50,190 --> 00:14:53,510
Mr. Rogers and everything that's followed since is

412
00:14:53,510 --> 00:14:55,910
to make sure that children that do not

413
00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:59,610
have access to a full array of resources...

414
00:14:59,610 --> 00:15:00,310
Here's my question.

415
00:15:00,450 --> 00:15:01,830
What have you done for me lately?

416
00:15:03,010 --> 00:15:05,210
So that's your big claim to fame?

417
00:15:05,390 --> 00:15:06,530
Mr. Rogers.

418
00:15:06,910 --> 00:15:08,870
He's been dead for a decade.

419
00:15:09,130 --> 00:15:10,010
And Sesame Street?

420
00:15:10,750 --> 00:15:12,190
What have you done lately?

421
00:15:12,490 --> 00:15:14,970
Have the opportunity to learn and to develop

422
00:15:14,970 --> 00:15:16,610
skills that they'll need the first time they

423
00:15:16,610 --> 00:15:17,230
enter preschool.

424
00:15:17,630 --> 00:15:19,610
That may be at age 2 or 3

425
00:15:19,610 --> 00:15:21,210
or 4 and sometimes 5.

426
00:15:21,290 --> 00:15:22,870
Not until they start kindergarten.

427
00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:24,430
That's what's at risk.

428
00:15:24,530 --> 00:15:27,290
I thought it was press freedom.

429
00:15:27,650 --> 00:15:28,630
I'm mistaken.

430
00:15:28,630 --> 00:15:29,630
It's not press freedom.

431
00:15:29,710 --> 00:15:30,550
It's the children.

432
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:33,150
President Trump hates kids.

433
00:15:34,930 --> 00:15:36,630
Let's go to Catherine Marr.

434
00:15:36,630 --> 00:15:38,610
By the way, there's nothing spooky about her.

435
00:15:38,810 --> 00:15:39,830
Where did she come from?

436
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:40,530
What's her background?

437
00:15:40,850 --> 00:15:41,310
Baltimore.

438
00:15:41,910 --> 00:15:45,010
She was a pre-med student.

439
00:15:45,970 --> 00:15:48,350
There's nothing that looks like she's got anything

440
00:15:48,350 --> 00:15:49,170
like that.

441
00:15:49,650 --> 00:15:52,670
Unlike her, here's Catherine Marr, CEO of NPR.

442
00:15:52,950 --> 00:15:55,470
I want to ask you about the news.

443
00:15:55,470 --> 00:15:57,570
When we went and we read the executive

444
00:15:57,570 --> 00:16:00,430
order, the language in there says government funding

445
00:16:00,430 --> 00:16:02,730
of news media in this environment is outdated

446
00:16:02,730 --> 00:16:05,850
and unnecessary, corrosive to the appearance of independence.

447
00:16:06,910 --> 00:16:08,950
And Americans have the right to expect if

448
00:16:08,950 --> 00:16:11,390
their tax dollars fund public broadcasting that it's

449
00:16:11,390 --> 00:16:13,510
fair, accurate, unbiased, and nonpartisan.

450
00:16:14,330 --> 00:16:17,170
How do you respond to the implication that

451
00:16:17,170 --> 00:16:18,690
your news coverage is not?

452
00:16:19,150 --> 00:16:21,430
Well, just listen to the No Agenda show.

453
00:16:22,170 --> 00:16:24,190
They tell you every soul we do.

454
00:16:24,490 --> 00:16:24,930
Twice a week.

455
00:16:25,170 --> 00:16:27,210
It's not fair and nonpartisan.

456
00:16:28,210 --> 00:16:28,770
Unbiased.

457
00:16:29,170 --> 00:16:30,790
I can't get over her.

458
00:16:31,810 --> 00:16:35,330
She is, that is, you know, the jingle.

459
00:16:35,510 --> 00:16:36,170
Where's my jingle?

460
00:16:37,810 --> 00:16:38,410
Yeah, this one.

461
00:16:39,650 --> 00:16:41,570
Elitist voices of America.

462
00:16:42,430 --> 00:16:43,650
This is NPR.

463
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:45,430
Or PBS.

464
00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:47,710
Totally an elitist voice, this.

465
00:16:48,030 --> 00:16:49,430
It's not fair and nonpartisan.

466
00:16:50,650 --> 00:16:51,110
Unbiased.

467
00:16:51,870 --> 00:16:53,530
First of all, I think it's important to

468
00:16:53,530 --> 00:16:54,830
note that I'm the CEO and we have

469
00:16:54,830 --> 00:16:57,610
an independent editor-in-chief who oversees the

470
00:16:57,610 --> 00:16:59,530
newsroom and so I don't make editorial decisions

471
00:16:59,530 --> 00:17:00,930
and that, I think, is just always an

472
00:17:00,930 --> 00:17:01,870
important point to make.

473
00:17:02,010 --> 00:17:04,450
But I think our newsroom would really take

474
00:17:04,450 --> 00:17:04,990
issue with that.

475
00:17:05,390 --> 00:17:06,930
I have to stop the clip.

476
00:17:09,210 --> 00:17:10,030
So what?

477
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:13,230
It's an important distinction to make.

478
00:17:13,230 --> 00:17:14,790
She says, oh, you know, I'm the CEO.

479
00:17:14,970 --> 00:17:16,329
I don't make the editorial decisions.

480
00:17:16,510 --> 00:17:17,829
I think that's an important point.

481
00:17:18,250 --> 00:17:19,290
Why is it important?

482
00:17:19,390 --> 00:17:19,930
Who cares?

483
00:17:20,910 --> 00:17:23,869
It's important to the elitist voices, I guess.

484
00:17:24,010 --> 00:17:24,530
I don't know.

485
00:17:24,690 --> 00:17:26,170
We have been on air for more than

486
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:26,810
50 years.

487
00:17:26,970 --> 00:17:29,130
We have been covering news as it occurs

488
00:17:29,130 --> 00:17:31,550
across the nation, in local communities, overseas.

489
00:17:31,670 --> 00:17:34,530
We have an extraordinary Washington desk.

490
00:17:34,830 --> 00:17:36,930
Our people report straight down the line.

491
00:17:37,070 --> 00:17:38,570
And I think that not only do they

492
00:17:38,570 --> 00:17:40,190
do that, they do so with a mission

493
00:17:40,190 --> 00:17:42,890
that very few other broadcast organizations have, which

494
00:17:42,890 --> 00:17:45,790
is a requirement to serve the entire public.

495
00:17:45,890 --> 00:17:48,370
That is the point of public broadcasting, is

496
00:17:48,370 --> 00:17:50,990
we bring people together in those conversations.

497
00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:53,310
And so we had a whole host of

498
00:17:53,310 --> 00:17:54,970
conservative voices on air of late.

499
00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:55,790
We've been- What?

500
00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:56,310
When?

501
00:17:57,050 --> 00:17:58,270
When was this?

502
00:17:58,430 --> 00:18:00,690
I've missed the conservative voices.

503
00:18:00,870 --> 00:18:02,510
That must be like Brooks.

504
00:18:03,810 --> 00:18:05,330
A whole host though, a whole host.

505
00:18:05,330 --> 00:18:08,430
It's like Jennifer Rubin, who always billed herself

506
00:18:08,430 --> 00:18:10,330
as a conservative blogger.

507
00:18:10,430 --> 00:18:12,830
The woman's so left-leaning, it's ridiculous.

508
00:18:14,170 --> 00:18:16,370
Making requests of the Trump administration to have

509
00:18:16,370 --> 00:18:18,230
their officials on air, we would like to

510
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:19,970
see more people accept those invitations.

511
00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:21,710
It's hard for us to be able to

512
00:18:21,710 --> 00:18:23,310
say we can speak for everyone when folks

513
00:18:23,310 --> 00:18:24,190
won't join us.

514
00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:25,090
Oh, I see.

515
00:18:25,190 --> 00:18:27,470
It's their fault because they don't want to

516
00:18:27,470 --> 00:18:30,770
take the risk of being on your airwaves.

517
00:18:30,930 --> 00:18:34,350
Okay, so you're not participating, and therefore we

518
00:18:34,350 --> 00:18:35,810
have to do what we have to do.

519
00:18:35,810 --> 00:18:37,130
That's my takeaway.

520
00:18:37,270 --> 00:18:39,450
So let's talk about the White House and

521
00:18:39,450 --> 00:18:41,430
the talking points and what they're saying, because

522
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:42,370
it's oh so mean.

523
00:18:42,630 --> 00:18:43,730
So that was the executive order.

524
00:18:43,850 --> 00:18:44,750
Then we went and we looked at the

525
00:18:44,750 --> 00:18:47,310
White House talking points and what they're putting

526
00:18:47,310 --> 00:18:48,130
on social media.

527
00:18:48,730 --> 00:18:50,990
They're a lot more about you than you.

528
00:18:51,890 --> 00:18:52,490
Hold on.

529
00:18:53,830 --> 00:18:56,910
That is a propagandistic usage when she says

530
00:18:56,910 --> 00:19:01,670
the White House statement about the situation is

531
00:19:01,670 --> 00:19:03,450
not talking points.

532
00:19:05,170 --> 00:19:06,730
Talking points are specific.

533
00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:10,850
It's usually a list of points or something

534
00:19:10,850 --> 00:19:12,090
that's transmitted around.

535
00:19:12,250 --> 00:19:13,310
You're going to talk about this, you're going

536
00:19:13,310 --> 00:19:13,790
to talk about that.

537
00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:16,570
It's not published on WhiteHouse.gov. It's not

538
00:19:16,570 --> 00:19:17,590
a press release.

539
00:19:17,670 --> 00:19:19,990
A press release is not talking points.

540
00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:22,710
She's saying that for a very specific purpose,

541
00:19:23,070 --> 00:19:26,810
to get it ingrained into the listener's mind

542
00:19:26,810 --> 00:19:29,130
that it's propaganda from the White House.

543
00:19:29,390 --> 00:19:31,310
It's bullcrap talking points.

544
00:19:31,310 --> 00:19:32,410
That is a good point.

545
00:19:32,530 --> 00:19:34,010
I'm going to talk to the kids about

546
00:19:34,010 --> 00:19:34,970
that this month.

547
00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:35,650
That's a good one.

548
00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:36,170
Thank you.

549
00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:40,130
This is important that the kids understand.

550
00:19:40,290 --> 00:19:42,430
I forgot you're giving a lecture.

551
00:19:43,450 --> 00:19:45,050
You might as well use the other one,

552
00:19:45,150 --> 00:19:46,530
which will come up in one of my

553
00:19:46,530 --> 00:19:50,710
clips where somebody uses the word claimed instead

554
00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:51,510
of said.

555
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:53,570
That was already on my list.

556
00:19:54,290 --> 00:19:56,470
Let's get back to the news deserts.

557
00:19:56,690 --> 00:19:59,350
We looked at the White House talking points

558
00:19:59,350 --> 00:20:00,810
and what they're putting on social media.

559
00:20:01,330 --> 00:20:03,650
They're a lot more about you than you.

560
00:20:04,250 --> 00:20:07,810
And on NPR, they were saying things like

561
00:20:07,810 --> 00:20:10,750
a July 2022 editor's note that said the

562
00:20:10,750 --> 00:20:13,510
Declaration of Independence had offensive language against Native

563
00:20:13,510 --> 00:20:14,070
Americans.

564
00:20:14,430 --> 00:20:16,450
We checked and the word savages is used.

565
00:20:17,030 --> 00:20:19,310
The White House faults your editors for avoiding

566
00:20:19,310 --> 00:20:22,910
the term biological sex when discussing transgender issues.

567
00:20:23,390 --> 00:20:24,990
They apparently want you to use the term

568
00:20:24,990 --> 00:20:27,450
pro-life and faulted your use of the

569
00:20:27,450 --> 00:20:31,110
term anti-abortion rights to refer to activists.

570
00:20:31,770 --> 00:20:33,730
They got some good talking points there.

571
00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:39,010
So when you see specific editorial criticisms like

572
00:20:39,010 --> 00:20:41,890
that, what do you interpret the intention of

573
00:20:41,890 --> 00:20:42,610
this being?

574
00:20:42,870 --> 00:20:44,230
They hate us.

575
00:20:45,230 --> 00:20:46,630
What's the intention?

576
00:20:46,990 --> 00:20:47,810
Leading the witness.

577
00:20:48,450 --> 00:20:50,650
Mind reading people, mind reading.

578
00:20:50,990 --> 00:20:53,130
Well, I interpret the intention of this being

579
00:20:53,130 --> 00:20:55,850
trying to create a narrative around our editorial

580
00:20:55,850 --> 00:20:56,550
independence.

581
00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:57,730
And as I said in our- To

582
00:20:57,730 --> 00:20:58,370
control it.

583
00:20:58,430 --> 00:20:59,130
To control it.

584
00:20:59,270 --> 00:21:00,970
And I think that that is an affront

585
00:21:00,970 --> 00:21:01,690
to the First Amendment.

586
00:21:01,850 --> 00:21:04,130
We have an independent newsroom and we will

587
00:21:04,130 --> 00:21:05,770
always have an independent newsroom.

588
00:21:06,090 --> 00:21:07,130
Hold on a second.

589
00:21:08,110 --> 00:21:11,570
Just because they are exercising their part of

590
00:21:11,570 --> 00:21:14,270
the First Amendment, that is somehow an encroachment

591
00:21:14,270 --> 00:21:16,850
on NPR's use of the First Amendment.

592
00:21:16,850 --> 00:21:19,230
They want to control our newsroom?

593
00:21:19,690 --> 00:21:22,650
This is not true.

594
00:21:23,010 --> 00:21:24,970
There's a difference between criticism and control.

595
00:21:25,890 --> 00:21:26,530
Thank you.

596
00:21:26,830 --> 00:21:28,190
Yes, thank you.

597
00:21:29,010 --> 00:21:31,010
It's good that we're doing this because people

598
00:21:31,010 --> 00:21:33,250
just watch this and they just sucked it

599
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:33,670
all up.

600
00:21:33,890 --> 00:21:34,370
Well, that's the idea.

601
00:21:34,530 --> 00:21:36,310
It's just bull crap.

602
00:21:36,510 --> 00:21:37,210
It's bull crap.

603
00:21:38,070 --> 00:21:39,510
That is an affront to the First Amendment.

604
00:21:39,690 --> 00:21:41,930
We have an independent newsroom and we will

605
00:21:41,930 --> 00:21:43,590
always have an independent newsroom.

606
00:21:43,590 --> 00:21:46,910
From my perspective, part of the separation that

607
00:21:46,910 --> 00:21:49,490
the First Amendment offers is to keep government

608
00:21:49,490 --> 00:21:49,730
out.

609
00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:51,810
In fact, the statute that- Well, then

610
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:53,390
why do you take government money if you

611
00:21:53,390 --> 00:21:54,370
want to keep government out?

612
00:21:54,570 --> 00:21:56,690
Wow, great point.

613
00:21:56,810 --> 00:21:57,910
What's up with that?

614
00:21:58,230 --> 00:22:01,310
Was written when the Public Broadcasting Act was

615
00:22:01,310 --> 00:22:04,530
signed into law, was very explicit about interference

616
00:22:04,530 --> 00:22:07,430
from any member of the government, whether it

617
00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:10,750
is elected officials, whether members of independent agencies

618
00:22:10,750 --> 00:22:11,770
because- Hold on a second.

619
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:12,370
Stop again.

620
00:22:12,790 --> 00:22:16,950
Right after she says this, Brennan does the

621
00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:17,570
same thing, right?

622
00:22:17,650 --> 00:22:19,890
She comes out and says, well, after all

623
00:22:19,890 --> 00:22:21,630
what you said, then why do you want

624
00:22:21,630 --> 00:22:22,690
government money at all?

625
00:22:22,830 --> 00:22:23,910
That's what happens, right?

626
00:22:26,090 --> 00:22:29,430
Statute that was written when the Public Broadcasting

627
00:22:29,430 --> 00:22:32,010
Act was signed into law was very explicit

628
00:22:32,010 --> 00:22:35,810
about interference from any member of the government,

629
00:22:35,930 --> 00:22:38,830
whether it is elected officials, whether members of

630
00:22:38,830 --> 00:22:42,850
independent agencies because it is so sacrosanct that

631
00:22:42,850 --> 00:22:45,850
division between the state and independent media.

632
00:22:46,150 --> 00:22:48,490
That was the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967,

633
00:22:49,050 --> 00:22:50,910
set it up as a private corporation to

634
00:22:50,910 --> 00:22:53,230
give protection from influence and control.

635
00:22:53,470 --> 00:22:55,630
I would assume that's also from the White

636
00:22:55,630 --> 00:22:55,910
House.

637
00:22:58,590 --> 00:23:00,710
So I've been listening to NPR.

638
00:23:00,930 --> 00:23:03,750
I didn't clip too much, but they keep

639
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:05,210
talking about that's why it was set up

640
00:23:05,210 --> 00:23:07,690
with two years in advance so that this

641
00:23:07,690 --> 00:23:09,950
money was done in 2023, and it's our

642
00:23:09,950 --> 00:23:11,510
money and you can't just take that money

643
00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:11,830
away.

644
00:23:12,110 --> 00:23:14,170
This was to protect us from the government

645
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:16,810
involvement with us, but we're still taking government

646
00:23:16,810 --> 00:23:19,550
money, you understand, but we can't have involvement

647
00:23:19,550 --> 00:23:20,830
from the government with government money.

648
00:23:20,910 --> 00:23:22,850
President Lyndon Johnson, who signed the bill into

649
00:23:22,850 --> 00:23:25,970
law, creating the Public Broadcasting Act and creating

650
00:23:25,970 --> 00:23:29,050
the system that we all operate within, he

651
00:23:29,050 --> 00:23:32,270
noted in his remarks upon signing that speech,

652
00:23:32,410 --> 00:23:34,530
was that it does require a greater wisdom.

653
00:23:34,530 --> 00:23:35,730
And that's why we have a two-year

654
00:23:35,730 --> 00:23:39,310
advance appropriation is to insulate both of our

655
00:23:39,310 --> 00:23:41,430
work from political interference.

656
00:23:41,630 --> 00:23:43,750
I think that that is critical that Americans

657
00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:45,970
understand that public broadcasting is meant to be

658
00:23:45,970 --> 00:23:47,630
independent so that we can serve the public

659
00:23:47,630 --> 00:23:50,930
interest regardless of whatever administration is in office

660
00:23:50,930 --> 00:23:52,650
or whatever Congress's whims are.

661
00:23:52,650 --> 00:23:55,530
And the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was set

662
00:23:55,530 --> 00:23:58,110
up as a private corporation with that same

663
00:23:58,110 --> 00:23:58,550
intent.

664
00:23:58,990 --> 00:24:00,670
So I think there was a lot of

665
00:24:00,670 --> 00:24:03,890
focus even at that moment when the act

666
00:24:03,890 --> 00:24:04,210
was signed.

667
00:24:04,750 --> 00:24:04,850
One percent.

668
00:24:05,210 --> 00:24:06,250
This is very interesting.

669
00:24:06,390 --> 00:24:07,610
They keep harping on this.

670
00:24:07,770 --> 00:24:10,650
It's an independent company.

671
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:15,110
Well, yeah, then go get independent money, you

672
00:24:15,110 --> 00:24:15,390
know?

673
00:24:15,630 --> 00:24:18,930
It's like, and if it's only one percent,

674
00:24:19,090 --> 00:24:20,130
what's the big deal?

675
00:24:20,290 --> 00:24:21,550
We'll find out, of course.

676
00:24:21,550 --> 00:24:23,530
That protections would need to be put in

677
00:24:23,530 --> 00:24:23,910
place.

678
00:24:23,950 --> 00:24:26,630
Because if we do our job, it is

679
00:24:27,650 --> 00:24:31,730
possible that we will produce content that some

680
00:24:31,730 --> 00:24:33,210
people may wish we have done it a

681
00:24:33,210 --> 00:24:33,770
different way.

682
00:24:33,910 --> 00:24:35,650
And this way it gives us the independence.

683
00:24:36,050 --> 00:24:38,670
The other thing that keeps us independent is

684
00:24:38,670 --> 00:24:40,170
that most of our funding comes from viewers

685
00:24:40,170 --> 00:24:40,670
like you.

686
00:24:41,390 --> 00:24:42,610
Viewers like you?

687
00:24:42,910 --> 00:24:44,710
It comes from viewers like you.

688
00:24:44,910 --> 00:24:46,950
But still, we're here going to waffle on

689
00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:48,650
for an hour about the money from the

690
00:24:48,650 --> 00:24:51,390
government, but it comes from viewers like you.

691
00:24:51,750 --> 00:24:54,030
We ask people to make contribution to public

692
00:24:54,030 --> 00:24:56,490
broadcasting for something they get for free, because

693
00:24:56,490 --> 00:24:58,450
we are available free to every home in

694
00:24:58,450 --> 00:24:58,990
this country.

695
00:24:59,590 --> 00:25:02,030
And so, both the combination of the fact

696
00:25:02,030 --> 00:25:03,810
that it was built as a public-private

697
00:25:03,810 --> 00:25:06,630
partnership, there would be some public money that

698
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:10,190
went into public broadcasting that would enable stations

699
00:25:10,190 --> 00:25:13,350
and small communities to exist, alongside the fact

700
00:25:13,350 --> 00:25:15,030
that most of our support comes from people

701
00:25:15,030 --> 00:25:15,670
in communities.

702
00:25:15,930 --> 00:25:18,690
That really does create something that is very

703
00:25:18,690 --> 00:25:21,750
independent, and very responsive to the communities that

704
00:25:21,750 --> 00:25:22,110
we serve.

705
00:25:22,690 --> 00:25:24,410
And by the way, a lot of them

706
00:25:24,410 --> 00:25:27,170
are red communities, so you know, so Republicans

707
00:25:27,170 --> 00:25:28,170
shouldn't be doing that.

708
00:25:28,510 --> 00:25:29,810
I think we can wrap it up with

709
00:25:29,810 --> 00:25:32,210
this one, the declining trust in the news.

710
00:25:32,290 --> 00:25:33,530
And if I may, just to give a

711
00:25:33,530 --> 00:25:36,210
sense of those numbers, for every single dollar

712
00:25:36,210 --> 00:25:38,470
that the federal government puts in, stations raise

713
00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:43,510
on average about $7 from private sources.

714
00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:45,810
And so, you also have to recognize that

715
00:25:45,810 --> 00:25:48,510
this order interferes with- That was an

716
00:25:48,510 --> 00:25:51,490
interesting flub from public-private, I mean, I

717
00:25:51,490 --> 00:25:54,670
wonder if that was truth coming out there.

718
00:25:55,350 --> 00:25:56,190
I'm not sure.

719
00:25:56,370 --> 00:25:58,510
$7 from public-private.

720
00:25:58,870 --> 00:26:01,090
This is also one of those dipsy-do

721
00:26:01,090 --> 00:26:03,150
things they like to, well, for every dollar

722
00:26:03,150 --> 00:26:04,650
spent, we get, you know, it's like the

723
00:26:04,650 --> 00:26:05,430
park service.

724
00:26:05,890 --> 00:26:07,670
You know, for every dollar the government puts

725
00:26:07,670 --> 00:26:09,050
in the park service, we make $8.

726
00:26:09,490 --> 00:26:11,090
Well, why don't you just make $7?

727
00:26:11,090 --> 00:26:14,670
I mean, this is like throwing numbers around,

728
00:26:15,070 --> 00:26:18,750
every dollar results in $10.

729
00:26:19,210 --> 00:26:19,990
Yes, it's magic.

730
00:26:20,210 --> 00:26:22,090
We are a magic money machine.

731
00:26:22,330 --> 00:26:23,530
$7- Right.

732
00:26:23,930 --> 00:26:26,450
From public-private, sorry, from private sources.

733
00:26:26,630 --> 00:26:28,710
And so, you also have to recognize that

734
00:26:28,710 --> 00:26:31,590
this order interferes with the First Amendment rights

735
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:33,050
of our listeners and viewers.

736
00:26:33,190 --> 00:26:34,290
You've made a choice- Yeah.

737
00:26:34,330 --> 00:26:34,830
To contribute.

738
00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:38,310
How does it, stop, this is just not

739
00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:38,710
true.

740
00:26:39,450 --> 00:26:41,050
That's just a basic lie.

741
00:26:41,050 --> 00:26:45,150
So, the government not giving PBS money interferes

742
00:26:45,150 --> 00:26:47,170
with my First Amendment rights?

743
00:26:48,830 --> 00:26:49,630
That's what she said.

744
00:26:49,870 --> 00:26:50,150
Right?

745
00:26:50,510 --> 00:26:51,170
That's what she said.

746
00:26:51,270 --> 00:26:53,810
Well, she has a point, because if they

747
00:26:53,810 --> 00:26:58,550
can't fund Brooks and Capehart and Scott Simon,

748
00:26:59,190 --> 00:27:00,390
it will hurt the show.

749
00:27:01,850 --> 00:27:03,530
So- You know Scott Simon only works

750
00:27:03,530 --> 00:27:05,130
on the weekends, and he makes over $400

751
00:27:05,130 --> 00:27:06,110
,000 a year?

752
00:27:08,780 --> 00:27:10,480
Now, that's just painful to hear.

753
00:27:10,860 --> 00:27:11,740
That's very painful.

754
00:27:11,740 --> 00:27:13,440
The First Amendment rights- In fact, somebody

755
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,660
did a breakdown, one of the, it came

756
00:27:15,660 --> 00:27:16,560
out of Doge, I think.

757
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:19,980
The money that they pay their anchors on

758
00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:22,740
PBS is, I mean, it's not Fox, I

759
00:27:22,740 --> 00:27:23,820
mean, where you can get millions.

760
00:27:25,620 --> 00:27:27,580
But for the amount of work they do,

761
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,280
and it's mostly radio, we were talking about

762
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,100
the radio side.

763
00:27:30,260 --> 00:27:30,460
Yeah.

764
00:27:31,380 --> 00:27:34,380
They get- For radio, that's well-paid.

765
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,060
I mean, there's very- $400,000, especially

766
00:27:36,060 --> 00:27:37,260
for a weekend gig.

767
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,460
Yeah, you're like- Five days a week

768
00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:41,080
all day.

769
00:27:41,540 --> 00:27:43,580
No, I mean, most people in radio are

770
00:27:43,580 --> 00:27:45,760
making $35,000 a year.

771
00:27:46,780 --> 00:27:49,100
Seriously, except for, you know, you got a

772
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:52,800
couple, Sean Hannity, I'm sure, Glenn Beck, I

773
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:53,800
mean, yeah, they're making millions.

774
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,480
No, yeah, those guys make millions, but they

775
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,540
have syndicated deals.

776
00:27:56,700 --> 00:27:57,700
Yes, yes.

777
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:58,600
All right, let's continue.

778
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,680
The First Amendment rights of our listeners and

779
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,980
viewers who've made a choice to contribute, and

780
00:28:02,980 --> 00:28:04,300
this is the news that they want to

781
00:28:04,300 --> 00:28:05,920
see and hear, or the programming that they're

782
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:06,420
committed to?

783
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,780
It did just stand out to us, as

784
00:28:09,780 --> 00:28:13,580
journalists ourselves, because the research shows that there's

785
00:28:13,580 --> 00:28:17,180
declining trust in media, in news.

786
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,960
And the President was talking about that himself

787
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,600
there, that he wants a free and fair

788
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:23,000
press.

789
00:28:23,020 --> 00:28:25,680
We're going to continue to cover this, and

790
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,320
thank you for your time today.

791
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:28,160
Thank you for having us.

792
00:28:28,460 --> 00:28:29,040
Hold on.

793
00:28:30,060 --> 00:28:31,100
Now, that's over.

794
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,200
Thank you for having me.

795
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,880
Why doesn't, Brennan's got the woman there.

796
00:28:36,660 --> 00:28:37,980
She just brought up a point.

797
00:28:37,980 --> 00:28:39,760
Out of the blue, Brennan says, well, you

798
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,240
know, there's declining trust in the media.

799
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:43,140
Goodbye.

800
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:44,980
Why doesn't she say...

801
00:28:45,620 --> 00:28:46,680
I mean, it makes no sense.

802
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,320
Why doesn't she say there's declining trust in

803
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:50,720
the media?

804
00:28:51,540 --> 00:28:53,540
Why do you think that is?

805
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,980
It's a simple question that's not, you know,

806
00:28:56,020 --> 00:28:57,960
maybe she can't answer, maybe she can't, but

807
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,760
why wouldn't you ask that?

808
00:28:59,820 --> 00:29:02,760
You've got the CEO standing right there, and

809
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,580
you'd say, there's declining trust in the media.

810
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:06,100
Goodbye?

811
00:29:08,140 --> 00:29:10,600
Well, she's taking that as a given fact.

812
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,920
That's what she's doing there.

813
00:29:12,020 --> 00:29:12,920
Like, everybody knows that.

814
00:29:13,260 --> 00:29:15,680
We just had the report about the press

815
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,260
freedom is on decline.

816
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:17,860
It's slipping.

817
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,120
Ever since President Trump came in office, it's

818
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:20,360
slipping.

819
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,160
It's going away.

820
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,760
People don't trust, because he keeps saying fake

821
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:22,860
news.

822
00:29:22,860 --> 00:29:24,220
I would like to know what her answer

823
00:29:24,220 --> 00:29:26,620
to that question, that simple question, would have

824
00:29:26,620 --> 00:29:28,240
been, but, Brennan, no.

825
00:29:28,460 --> 00:29:29,180
She didn't have it.

826
00:29:29,420 --> 00:29:29,620
No.

827
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,620
Because of what you just said, she just

828
00:29:31,620 --> 00:29:33,340
made it as an assumption, as a statement

829
00:29:33,340 --> 00:29:35,100
of fact, and didn't want to even discuss

830
00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:35,780
it any further.

831
00:29:36,260 --> 00:29:37,680
This is a terrible show.

832
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:39,740
These people get paid a lot of money

833
00:29:39,740 --> 00:29:40,560
to do this stuff.

834
00:29:40,780 --> 00:29:43,340
It's a terrible show, and Brennan is no

835
00:29:43,340 --> 00:29:43,920
good.

836
00:29:44,060 --> 00:29:45,240
Here's the last clip I got.

837
00:29:45,460 --> 00:29:48,460
President Donald Trump signed a controversial executive order

838
00:29:48,460 --> 00:29:49,120
on Thursday.

839
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,420
It aims to cut money for NPR and

840
00:29:51,420 --> 00:29:51,800
PBS.

841
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,960
The American people are sick of funding institutions

842
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,960
who promote values that they find repugnant.

843
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,540
The public broadcasters are accused of left-leaning

844
00:30:00,540 --> 00:30:01,020
bias.

845
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,720
I wanted to play both sides of the

846
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:04,060
argument.

847
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,240
The White House...

848
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,220
There's DeSantis going, he's repugnant.

849
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:11,860
He's...

850
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,560
Yeah, it's true.

851
00:30:13,780 --> 00:30:16,200
The White House and Republicans say one glaring

852
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,260
example was NPR's refusal to cover the Hunter

853
00:30:19,260 --> 00:30:22,900
Biden laptop scandal shortly before the 2020 election.

854
00:30:23,220 --> 00:30:25,580
At the time, NPR released a statement that

855
00:30:25,580 --> 00:30:27,520
said, we don't want to waste our time

856
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,700
on stories that are not really stories.

857
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:31,500
But it did turn out to be a

858
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:32,140
real story.

859
00:30:32,140 --> 00:30:34,720
Our current editorial leadership believes that that was

860
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,240
a mistake, as do I.

861
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,280
Yeah, the whole country knows that was a

862
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:38,660
mistake.

863
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,280
Definitely impacted the election.

864
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,520
Critics also point out how drag queens have

865
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,500
been featured on PBS children's programming.

866
00:30:44,860 --> 00:30:46,740
The executive order- That's what they're doing.

867
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,060
See, they didn't bring that up on the

868
00:30:49,060 --> 00:30:51,800
CBS meet the press.

869
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,760
But here they talk about it because after

870
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,700
Mr. Rogers and Big Bird, we got drag

871
00:30:57,700 --> 00:30:58,760
time story hour.

872
00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,820
We impacted the election.

873
00:31:00,020 --> 00:31:02,060
Critics also point out how drag queens have

874
00:31:02,060 --> 00:31:04,040
been featured on PBS children's programming.

875
00:31:04,420 --> 00:31:06,840
The executive order directs the corporation for public

876
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,400
broadcasting to slash the more than half a

877
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,340
billion dollars and federal funding for NPR and

878
00:31:12,340 --> 00:31:12,720
PBS.

879
00:31:13,180 --> 00:31:15,900
Local stations could be hit the hardest, with

880
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:18,060
some at risk of shutting down altogether.

881
00:31:18,420 --> 00:31:20,740
In a statement, NPR said, we will challenge

882
00:31:20,740 --> 00:31:21,820
this executive order.

883
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,880
If they get $7 for every dollar that

884
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,380
they get from the government, why would they

885
00:31:29,380 --> 00:31:30,320
be shutting down?

886
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,700
You know why?

887
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,140
Because they have to buy the incredibly expensive

888
00:31:34,140 --> 00:31:38,260
programming from American public media, commercial organizations.

889
00:31:38,580 --> 00:31:40,580
If you want fresh air, if you want

890
00:31:40,580 --> 00:31:43,080
any of these programs, you have to buy

891
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,060
them at truly market value, syndicated programming market

892
00:31:47,060 --> 00:31:47,440
value.

893
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,940
There's no deal here.

894
00:31:49,060 --> 00:31:51,100
And you can't FTP it.

895
00:31:51,460 --> 00:31:52,720
You have to get it off their satellite

896
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,920
system, which is another couple million bucks a

897
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,580
year, where you could have, for $1.50,

898
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:58,680
you got Starlink.

899
00:31:58,800 --> 00:31:59,440
Come on, people.

900
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,860
Some at risk of shutting down altogether.

901
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:04,500
In a statement, NPR said, we will challenge

902
00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:07,040
this executive order using all means available.

903
00:32:07,620 --> 00:32:11,060
And PBS said, the president's blatantly unlawful executive

904
00:32:11,060 --> 00:32:13,220
order issued in the middle of the night

905
00:32:13,220 --> 00:32:15,480
threatens our ability to- In the middle

906
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:16,100
of the night.

907
00:32:16,580 --> 00:32:18,160
In the middle of the night.

908
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,860
He issued it in the middle of the

909
00:32:21,860 --> 00:32:23,620
night so that we wouldn't notice it.

910
00:32:23,740 --> 00:32:25,120
Is that what you're trying to imply?

911
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,040
And PBS said, the president's blatantly unlawful executive

912
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,140
order issued in the middle of the night

913
00:32:31,140 --> 00:32:33,960
threatens our ability to serve the American public.

914
00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:36,720
We use our broadcast as the emergency backup

915
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,820
for emergency alerts for the country.

916
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,520
Oh, yeah, this is another big one.

917
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,320
Yeah, this is- Oh, yeah, I heard

918
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,240
this one yesterday.

919
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,020
I heard this one, too.

920
00:32:44,020 --> 00:32:48,020
If the power goes down, it's our broadcast

921
00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:49,320
that will save everybody.

922
00:32:49,740 --> 00:32:51,720
Yeah, but then there are little portable radios

923
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,740
who'd be picking up PBS.

924
00:32:52,980 --> 00:32:54,740
Like in Northern West Carolina.

925
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,780
No, it was Elon Musk's Starlink that saved

926
00:32:57,780 --> 00:32:58,140
people.

927
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:58,940
Not you guys.

928
00:32:59,040 --> 00:32:59,500
I'm sorry.

929
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:00,840
And Ham guy.

930
00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:01,560
Hams.

931
00:33:02,140 --> 00:33:02,660
Hams.

932
00:33:02,940 --> 00:33:03,460
Hams.

933
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:04,220
Hams.

934
00:33:04,220 --> 00:33:04,520
Hams.

935
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:05,300
Hams and Starlink.

936
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,300
It sounds like a breakfast.

937
00:33:09,060 --> 00:33:11,700
Threatens our ability to serve the American public.

938
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,460
We use our broadcast as the emergency backup

939
00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:16,540
for emergency alerts for the country.

940
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:18,820
And you need 100% coverage to make

941
00:33:18,820 --> 00:33:19,400
that happen.

942
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,520
We have news deserts.

943
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,360
20% of Americans live in a place

944
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:23,600
- 100%.

945
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:29,000
You need- Not 99.999. 100%.

946
00:33:29,660 --> 00:33:31,740
And here comes the news desert again.

947
00:33:31,860 --> 00:33:32,800
In the middle of the night.

948
00:33:33,180 --> 00:33:35,600
Threatens our ability to serve the American public.

949
00:33:35,740 --> 00:33:38,360
We use our broadcast as the emergency backup

950
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,480
for emergency alerts for the country.

951
00:33:40,660 --> 00:33:42,720
And you need 100% coverage to make

952
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,320
that happen.

953
00:33:43,460 --> 00:33:44,420
We have news deserts.

954
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,260
20% of Americans live in a place

955
00:33:46,260 --> 00:33:48,540
where they have no local news coverage other

956
00:33:48,540 --> 00:33:49,700
than public radio.

957
00:33:49,860 --> 00:33:52,820
The corporation for public broadcasting also released a

958
00:33:52,820 --> 00:33:55,420
statement saying the organization is not a federal

959
00:33:55,420 --> 00:33:58,940
executive agency subject to the president's authority.

960
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,660
It's safe to say this executive order will

961
00:34:01,660 --> 00:34:02,940
be challenged in court.

962
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:03,660
All right.

963
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,180
All right.

964
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,640
Well, this will be fun because now they

965
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,440
get to talk about themselves, which is all

966
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,239
you should have heard on the media.

967
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:11,719
Brooke.

968
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

969
00:34:14,739 --> 00:34:16,320
I couldn't even clip it.

970
00:34:17,020 --> 00:34:18,460
It was all about us.

971
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,800
We're being suppressed.

972
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:27,780
This is a little thing called podcasting, people.

973
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:28,699
You know what?

974
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:31,699
You spent $100 million and had to shut

975
00:34:31,699 --> 00:34:34,880
it down because of your Neumann mics and

976
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,920
your newsrooms.

977
00:34:39,460 --> 00:34:42,280
Joe Rogan does more for information than you

978
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:42,600
do.

979
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:44,500
I'll put together all your stations.

980
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:45,739
Everybody knows it.

981
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,400
You know, that's interesting, that point you make,

982
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,020
though, about the using Starlink as instead of

983
00:34:52,020 --> 00:34:53,199
these expensive satellites.

984
00:34:53,380 --> 00:34:55,100
When I was doing a radio show for

985
00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:58,860
the Real Computing Show on PBS, it was

986
00:34:58,860 --> 00:35:02,980
the other network, public radio, and it was,

987
00:35:03,620 --> 00:35:04,720
it cost a fortune.

988
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,200
You had to go up to the bird,

989
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,900
and then you had the transponder number, and

990
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,420
everyone had to download it from whatever, and

991
00:35:13,420 --> 00:35:14,100
it was like...

992
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:16,060
You know, back in the day, MTV didn't

993
00:35:16,060 --> 00:35:17,780
have that kind of money when I started

994
00:35:17,780 --> 00:35:18,100
there.

995
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,780
They didn't even have a lighting director, makeup,

996
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,240
or wardrobe, and so to get the shows

997
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:27,180
on the air, we recorded on Umatic High

998
00:35:27,180 --> 00:35:33,340
Band, which is basically a glorified Betamax, and

999
00:35:33,340 --> 00:35:34,460
then they'd put it in a...

1000
00:35:34,460 --> 00:35:35,420
With a bigger cassette.

1001
00:35:35,660 --> 00:35:36,320
With a bigger cassette.

1002
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:38,440
They'd put it in a communicar, which was

1003
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,260
a low-rent, basically a cab service you

1004
00:35:41,260 --> 00:35:43,820
could call, and then they would drive it

1005
00:35:43,820 --> 00:35:46,080
up to, out to Long Island, and then

1006
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,140
you'd have tape jockeys sitting there just, you

1007
00:35:48,140 --> 00:35:51,400
know, hitting the VJ segment, then hitting the

1008
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,160
video, the music video.

1009
00:35:53,460 --> 00:35:54,820
We didn't have satellites.

1010
00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:56,420
Couldn't afford it.

1011
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:58,460
And now, yes, it's actually, it's like $1

1012
00:35:58,460 --> 00:36:00,300
.10. It's not even $150.

1013
00:36:00,740 --> 00:36:03,200
I think it started off $99 was the

1014
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,940
introductory price, and now I think I pay

1015
00:36:04,940 --> 00:36:06,180
$110 or $120.

1016
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,600
And honestly, it's an expense for the show

1017
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:10,680
because it's a backup.

1018
00:36:10,860 --> 00:36:12,160
It's a backup to the backup to the

1019
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:12,400
backup.

1020
00:36:13,860 --> 00:36:16,560
But it's impressive, and, you know, so to

1021
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,000
say that you need this, no, no.

1022
00:36:19,380 --> 00:36:22,260
The guys up at, they do Gramerica up

1023
00:36:22,260 --> 00:36:22,760
in Canada.

1024
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:23,440
They use it.

1025
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,800
They use it on the air, I know.

1026
00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:27,040
And I didn't notice it until they pointed

1027
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:27,540
it out.

1028
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:29,940
I mean, because I've been on that show,

1029
00:36:30,060 --> 00:36:31,780
and there's no latency.

1030
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,380
It's quite nice.

1031
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:34,900
Yeah, you should go back on.

1032
00:36:35,540 --> 00:36:36,320
I should.

1033
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:37,820
They haven't invited me back.

1034
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:40,440
They're probably...

1035
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,160
The ratings went to the toilet when they

1036
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:42,660
got me on.

1037
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:43,740
I don't think so.

1038
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,780
People love it when you're on.

1039
00:36:45,780 --> 00:36:46,400
They do.

1040
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:48,780
They always tell me that.

1041
00:36:50,380 --> 00:36:52,220
Dvorak, he's a ratings bonanza.

1042
00:36:52,820 --> 00:36:53,780
Get that guy on.

1043
00:36:56,450 --> 00:36:56,930
All right.

1044
00:36:57,130 --> 00:36:58,690
Well, I can go all kinds of directions

1045
00:36:58,690 --> 00:37:00,570
now, but I will leave the floor to

1046
00:37:00,570 --> 00:37:01,110
you, sir.

1047
00:37:01,410 --> 00:37:02,590
Well, what do I have?

1048
00:37:02,670 --> 00:37:03,310
I don't know.

1049
00:37:04,610 --> 00:37:06,150
There's a lot of stuff I don't have.

1050
00:37:06,290 --> 00:37:08,270
Because we don't listen to each other's clips,

1051
00:37:08,410 --> 00:37:09,050
so I don't know.

1052
00:37:09,410 --> 00:37:10,550
What did you not get?

1053
00:37:10,590 --> 00:37:11,630
And I'll tell you if I got it.

1054
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:14,840
What did I not get?

1055
00:37:14,980 --> 00:37:15,340
I did...

1056
00:37:15,340 --> 00:37:16,240
Okay, yeah, that's a good point.

1057
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,760
That's a new element of the show.

1058
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,440
I don't have a clip of the Ben

1059
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,620
-Gurion Airport getting bombed by the Houthis.

1060
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,020
Israel is on high alert after a missile

1061
00:37:29,020 --> 00:37:32,700
impacted near Ben-Gurion Airport outside of Tel

1062
00:37:32,700 --> 00:37:33,080
Aviv.

1063
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,660
The attack was claimed by Yemen's Houthi rebels,

1064
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,560
who have regularly launched attacks on Israel since

1065
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,220
the start of the war in Gaza.

1066
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:43,800
The attack resulted in a crater near the

1067
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,680
airport, but didn't damage any structures.

1068
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,380
At least two people were lightly injured.

1069
00:37:49,780 --> 00:37:52,040
Israel's defense minister has threatened to strike back,

1070
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,480
quote, sevenfold at the Yemeni militants.

1071
00:37:55,620 --> 00:37:57,280
So this is a new version of Go

1072
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:57,660
Fish.

1073
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,120
So you say, I didn't get this.

1074
00:38:00,540 --> 00:38:02,220
I really like this idea.

1075
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,060
And then I play it, and if I

1076
00:38:04,060 --> 00:38:05,460
don't have it, then I tell you to

1077
00:38:05,460 --> 00:38:07,040
go fish, and then you pick one of

1078
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:07,280
yours.

1079
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,080
Let's try it for the second one.

1080
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,400
Well, you caught me flat-footed.

1081
00:38:14,860 --> 00:38:15,260
Come on, man.

1082
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,800
I had the one, because that's the only

1083
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,100
one I was watching this morning.

1084
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:20,240
I said, oh, that'd be nice to have

1085
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:20,960
a clip of that.

1086
00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:22,980
So that's all you can think of?

1087
00:38:23,180 --> 00:38:24,380
Yeah, unfortunately.

1088
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,140
There must be something else that happened this

1089
00:38:26,140 --> 00:38:26,460
morning.

1090
00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:29,120
I mean, I figured most of the morning

1091
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:29,980
stuff you pick up.

1092
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:34,380
Well, President Trump was on with the manhands

1093
00:38:34,380 --> 00:38:34,740
lady.

1094
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:38,100
A welker?

1095
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:38,820
Yes.

1096
00:38:39,540 --> 00:38:40,500
So he did ABC.

1097
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,120
We know how that turned out.

1098
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,280
I respectfully agree to disagree about the Photoshop.

1099
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:50,080
Here's the interview in a nutshell.

1100
00:38:50,340 --> 00:38:51,540
You suck, ABC.

1101
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:52,460
You suck.

1102
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,560
Well, do you want to hear the-

1103
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,000
Yes, I would like to hear welker.

1104
00:38:56,140 --> 00:38:58,440
Okay, this is pretty much all about tariffs,

1105
00:38:58,580 --> 00:39:00,400
which covers two topics in one.

1106
00:39:00,620 --> 00:39:02,820
But, sir, you acknowledge when you announced your

1107
00:39:02,820 --> 00:39:05,900
tariffs, for example, the stock market dropped.

1108
00:39:06,020 --> 00:39:06,660
It's been volatile.

1109
00:39:06,860 --> 00:39:08,100
It has since gone up.

1110
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,600
Do you take responsibility for that?

1111
00:39:11,100 --> 00:39:11,260
Yeah.

1112
00:39:11,420 --> 00:39:13,320
Do you take responsibility when it drops?

1113
00:39:13,340 --> 00:39:16,120
Ultimately, I take responsibility for everything, but I've

1114
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,060
only just been here for a little more

1115
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:18,840
than three months.

1116
00:39:19,580 --> 00:39:22,160
But the stock market, look at what's happened

1117
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,200
in the last short period of time.

1118
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,060
Didn't it have nine or ten days in

1119
00:39:26,060 --> 00:39:27,680
a row or 11 days where it's gone

1120
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:27,880
up?

1121
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:29,980
So, so far, we're cordial.

1122
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,100
It's not going to last.

1123
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,140
And the tariffs have just started kicking in.

1124
00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:39,220
And we're doing really well.

1125
00:39:40,460 --> 00:39:42,580
Psychologically, I mean, the fake news was giving

1126
00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:44,160
me such press on the tariffs.

1127
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,120
The tariffs are going to make us rich.

1128
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:47,620
We're going to be a very rich country.

1129
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,420
So let's talk about the tariffs.

1130
00:39:49,460 --> 00:39:50,420
And I want to ask you about something

1131
00:39:50,420 --> 00:39:51,820
you said this week.

1132
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,260
Got a lot of attention.

1133
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:54,620
You were at your cabinet meeting.

1134
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,200
You said, quote, I'm going to quote what

1135
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:56,500
you said.

1136
00:39:56,780 --> 00:39:59,040
Maybe the children will have two dolls instead

1137
00:39:59,040 --> 00:39:59,820
of 30 dolls.

1138
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,900
And maybe the two dolls will cost a

1139
00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:03,800
couple of bucks more than they would normally.

1140
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,520
I love this because this is my theory,

1141
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:07,820
too.

1142
00:40:07,900 --> 00:40:10,480
It's like, stop buying junk from China.

1143
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:11,420
Wake up, people.

1144
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,660
Are you saying that your tariffs will cause

1145
00:40:14,660 --> 00:40:14,920
some.

1146
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,660
Again, Trump hates children.

1147
00:40:16,820 --> 00:40:17,600
This is the new meme.

1148
00:40:17,780 --> 00:40:19,820
This is interesting the way she's twisted this,

1149
00:40:19,980 --> 00:40:20,100
too.

1150
00:40:20,460 --> 00:40:20,620
Yeah.

1151
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,080
It's like maybe the kids will have two

1152
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:22,820
instead of 30.

1153
00:40:23,380 --> 00:40:25,980
And they're talking specifically about toys from China,

1154
00:40:26,060 --> 00:40:28,780
which is junk from China, which is what

1155
00:40:28,780 --> 00:40:29,740
they're discussing.

1156
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,980
And there's going to be less of it.

1157
00:40:32,140 --> 00:40:32,580
Perhaps.

1158
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:33,800
I doubt it, by the way.

1159
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:34,060
Yeah.

1160
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,900
But so she and she twists it.

1161
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:39,820
Have you been ever.

1162
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,740
I mean, we know some people with young

1163
00:40:42,740 --> 00:40:43,480
kids here.

1164
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:50,460
I am astounded by the junk that these

1165
00:40:50,460 --> 00:40:51,300
kids have.

1166
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,680
They have an entire room that is just

1167
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:54,660
their junk room.

1168
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:56,080
Have you ever seen this?

1169
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:59,640
Well, I have the problem with Theo is

1170
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:00,920
that they won't let him have a lot

1171
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:01,820
of toys over there.

1172
00:41:01,860 --> 00:41:05,040
So the junk is over here in your

1173
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:05,540
office.

1174
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,660
No, in my in the downstairs front room,

1175
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:10,400
which which has there's bins.

1176
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,660
So he has to put the put the

1177
00:41:11,660 --> 00:41:12,640
toys back in the bins.

1178
00:41:12,740 --> 00:41:13,080
Oh, good.

1179
00:41:13,460 --> 00:41:14,660
But it would look like I have a

1180
00:41:14,660 --> 00:41:16,420
dozen kids if somebody comes and visits.

1181
00:41:16,540 --> 00:41:18,420
What did you how many kids do you

1182
00:41:18,420 --> 00:41:19,600
have here living here?

1183
00:41:19,700 --> 00:41:19,860
Yeah.

1184
00:41:20,020 --> 00:41:20,680
Well, exactly.

1185
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:21,500
It's a lot.

1186
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:21,900
And why.

1187
00:41:22,060 --> 00:41:23,160
How come they won't.

1188
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,320
So what did the kids.

1189
00:41:24,540 --> 00:41:25,960
What does the kid like to play with

1190
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:26,360
the most?

1191
00:41:26,900 --> 00:41:29,280
One of the main things is a wooden

1192
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,080
little car, a wooden car with wooden wheels.

1193
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:37,860
I know it's made in Slovenia.

1194
00:41:37,940 --> 00:41:38,800
It's astounding.

1195
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,880
But meanwhile, there's all this plastic junk and

1196
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,620
furry junk, probably toxic.

1197
00:41:44,740 --> 00:41:45,620
It's everywhere.

1198
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:46,060
All right.

1199
00:41:46,340 --> 00:41:49,160
Are you saying that your tariffs will cause

1200
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,540
some prices to go up?

1201
00:41:50,740 --> 00:41:51,960
No, I think the tariffs are going to

1202
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,380
be great for us because it's going to

1203
00:41:53,380 --> 00:41:54,140
make us rich.

1204
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:55,480
But you said some dolls are going to

1205
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:55,900
cost more.

1206
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,200
Isn't that an acknowledgement that some prices will

1207
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:58,600
go up?

1208
00:41:58,860 --> 00:42:02,020
I don't think a beautiful baby girl needs

1209
00:42:02,020 --> 00:42:05,340
it's 11 years old needs to have 30

1210
00:42:05,340 --> 00:42:05,880
dolls.

1211
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:07,780
I think they can have three dolls or

1212
00:42:07,780 --> 00:42:08,460
four dolls.

1213
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,380
Because what we were doing with China was

1214
00:42:11,380 --> 00:42:12,200
just unbelievable.

1215
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,260
We had a deficit of hundreds of billions

1216
00:42:15,260 --> 00:42:16,740
of dollars with China.

1217
00:42:16,940 --> 00:42:18,980
Well, he's already gone from two to four

1218
00:42:18,980 --> 00:42:19,320
dolls.

1219
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:20,140
So he's slipping.

1220
00:42:20,460 --> 00:42:21,020
He's slipping.

1221
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,620
He's like, OK, you can have four.

1222
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,020
Every child can have four dolls now.

1223
00:42:25,100 --> 00:42:25,980
Thank you, Mr. President.

1224
00:42:26,220 --> 00:42:27,220
We're very happy.

1225
00:42:27,260 --> 00:42:28,380
By the way, are you running a baby

1226
00:42:28,380 --> 00:42:29,160
daycare there?

1227
00:42:29,220 --> 00:42:30,360
Is that what you're doing on the side?

1228
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,100
You got the dog kennel and now you're

1229
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:33,060
running kids.

1230
00:42:33,060 --> 00:42:34,140
You got a dog kennel.

1231
00:42:34,260 --> 00:42:34,680
We got everything.

1232
00:42:35,460 --> 00:42:35,980
All right.

1233
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,660
So I have some tariff clips since you

1234
00:42:38,660 --> 00:42:39,340
brought it up.

1235
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:40,800
Oh, you don't want me to continue.

1236
00:42:40,940 --> 00:42:41,720
You want to interrupt?

1237
00:42:42,260 --> 00:42:43,460
Oh, that was the end of her.

1238
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:44,960
We have more of Kristen.

1239
00:42:45,180 --> 00:42:45,620
Oh, yes.

1240
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,680
It's all about tariffs.

1241
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,000
And it's just about to get fun because

1242
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,080
this is OK.

1243
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:50,560
No play.

1244
00:42:50,660 --> 00:42:51,180
Play it out.

1245
00:42:51,300 --> 00:42:52,020
And then I'll play that.

1246
00:42:52,180 --> 00:42:53,120
I have a Buffett clip.

1247
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,140
But Buffett came in and said something nasty.

1248
00:42:55,340 --> 00:42:55,700
Yes.

1249
00:42:55,780 --> 00:42:57,480
And then there's some there's one more.

1250
00:42:57,980 --> 00:43:00,420
Well, it's about to become a dishonest interview.

1251
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:01,540
You as you understand.

1252
00:43:01,860 --> 00:43:03,700
When you say they could have three dolls

1253
00:43:03,700 --> 00:43:04,740
instead of 30 dolls.

1254
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:05,500
Are you saying.

1255
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:06,280
Well, now it's three.

1256
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:06,940
He said two.

1257
00:43:06,940 --> 00:43:07,520
Is it four?

1258
00:43:07,700 --> 00:43:08,060
Is it two?

1259
00:43:08,180 --> 00:43:08,580
Is it three?

1260
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,040
What is it, Kristen Welker?

1261
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,080
I'm confused now.

1262
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,120
When you say they could have three dolls

1263
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,180
instead of 30 dollars.

1264
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:17,340
Are you saying that Americans could see empty

1265
00:43:17,340 --> 00:43:18,100
store shelves?

1266
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,080
No, I'm no, I'm not saying that.

1267
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,700
No more dolls for the kids.

1268
00:43:23,820 --> 00:43:24,060
Really?

1269
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,760
The whole memo went out somewhere.

1270
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:27,700
All right.

1271
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,140
Let's go for the kids.

1272
00:43:29,740 --> 00:43:31,060
Trump hates children.

1273
00:43:32,300 --> 00:43:34,380
That's what it must have been something like

1274
00:43:34,380 --> 00:43:34,580
that.

1275
00:43:34,620 --> 00:43:34,900
All right.

1276
00:43:34,900 --> 00:43:36,200
Here's our new angle, everybody.

1277
00:43:36,980 --> 00:43:38,100
This will kill him.

1278
00:43:38,180 --> 00:43:39,460
Yeah, this angle is going to do it.

1279
00:43:39,780 --> 00:43:41,160
Yeah, this will get him to quit.

1280
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,400
When you say they could have three dolls

1281
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:52,200
instead of $30.

1282
00:43:52,580 --> 00:43:55,620
Are you saying that Americans could see empty

1283
00:43:55,620 --> 00:43:56,380
store shelves?

1284
00:43:56,660 --> 00:43:58,320
No, I'm no, I'm not saying that.

1285
00:43:58,480 --> 00:43:59,820
I'm just saying they don't need to have

1286
00:43:59,820 --> 00:44:00,140
$30.

1287
00:44:00,540 --> 00:44:01,160
I can have three.

1288
00:44:01,260 --> 00:44:03,200
They don't need to have 250 pencils.

1289
00:44:03,300 --> 00:44:04,140
They can have five.

1290
00:44:07,970 --> 00:44:09,730
This is NBC.

1291
00:44:10,570 --> 00:44:11,990
What a conversation.

1292
00:44:12,130 --> 00:44:13,910
This is network news.

1293
00:44:14,670 --> 00:44:15,750
It's not over.

1294
00:44:16,510 --> 00:44:19,030
But you're basically saying there could be some

1295
00:44:19,030 --> 00:44:20,270
supply shortages because of the tariffs.

1296
00:44:20,270 --> 00:44:21,470
I'm basically saying we don't have to waste

1297
00:44:21,470 --> 00:44:25,030
money on a trade deficit with China for

1298
00:44:25,030 --> 00:44:27,010
things we don't need, for junk that we

1299
00:44:27,010 --> 00:44:27,530
don't need.

1300
00:44:27,950 --> 00:44:30,410
Well, prices are already going up on some

1301
00:44:30,410 --> 00:44:31,030
popular items.

1302
00:44:31,470 --> 00:44:33,030
Tires, strollers.

1303
00:44:33,070 --> 00:44:34,850
This is such a dishonest interview.

1304
00:44:35,030 --> 00:44:35,530
There it is.

1305
00:44:35,530 --> 00:44:36,290
There it is.

1306
00:44:36,530 --> 00:44:38,790
It's a dishonest interview, and we're only one

1307
00:44:38,790 --> 00:44:39,310
minute in.

1308
00:44:39,550 --> 00:44:41,030
Prices are down on groceries.

1309
00:44:41,610 --> 00:44:43,050
Prices are down for oil.

1310
00:44:43,470 --> 00:44:45,090
Prices are down for all energy.

1311
00:44:45,590 --> 00:44:49,990
Prices are down at tremendous numbers for gasoline.

1312
00:44:50,530 --> 00:44:51,870
And let me tell you, when you have

1313
00:44:51,870 --> 00:44:54,750
the big thing, what he did, he spent

1314
00:44:54,750 --> 00:44:57,730
like a stupid person, which he was, but

1315
00:44:57,730 --> 00:44:59,670
he spent like a very stupid person, and

1316
00:44:59,670 --> 00:45:00,750
that was bad for inflation.

1317
00:45:01,130 --> 00:45:03,270
But what really killed us with inflation was

1318
00:45:03,270 --> 00:45:04,130
the price of energy.

1319
00:45:04,130 --> 00:45:06,810
It went up to $3.90, even $4

1320
00:45:06,810 --> 00:45:08,730
.00, and in California, $5.00 and $6

1321
00:45:08,730 --> 00:45:09,350
.00, right?

1322
00:45:09,730 --> 00:45:12,270
Okay, I have it down to $1.98

1323
00:45:12,270 --> 00:45:14,010
in many states right now.

1324
00:45:14,330 --> 00:45:15,370
Not in Texas.

1325
00:45:15,950 --> 00:45:17,550
Where is $1.98?

1326
00:45:19,170 --> 00:45:19,930
I don't know.

1327
00:45:21,670 --> 00:45:23,410
In Mississippi, maybe?

1328
00:45:23,550 --> 00:45:24,270
I have no idea.

1329
00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:26,570
It's like $2.50 here now.

1330
00:45:27,010 --> 00:45:28,210
It's still $5.00 here.

1331
00:45:28,350 --> 00:45:29,570
Yeah, well, it's your taxes.

1332
00:45:29,670 --> 00:45:32,710
You go that much lower on energy, which

1333
00:45:32,710 --> 00:45:36,450
is ahead of my prediction, because I really

1334
00:45:36,450 --> 00:45:38,030
thought I could get it down into the

1335
00:45:38,030 --> 00:45:40,110
$2.50s. We have it down at $1

1336
00:45:40,110 --> 00:45:42,630
.98 in numerous places.

1337
00:45:43,410 --> 00:45:46,510
Kristen, Kristen, first of all, put your hands

1338
00:45:46,510 --> 00:45:47,790
under the desk, because you look like a

1339
00:45:47,790 --> 00:45:48,050
man.

1340
00:45:48,870 --> 00:45:50,710
Let's keep on the children thing.

1341
00:45:50,810 --> 00:45:53,070
Let's keep harping on that, because we all

1342
00:45:53,070 --> 00:45:55,210
know the number one out, President Trump hates

1343
00:45:55,210 --> 00:45:55,710
children.

1344
00:45:55,870 --> 00:45:57,410
Let me give you some examples.

1345
00:45:58,230 --> 00:45:59,950
I mean, these are actual examples.

1346
00:45:59,950 --> 00:46:02,370
So you're saying the prices that are going

1347
00:46:02,370 --> 00:46:06,430
down, some prices are going up, tires, strollers,

1348
00:46:06,630 --> 00:46:09,190
some closing in the wake of your tariffs.

1349
00:46:09,190 --> 00:46:11,390
Excuse me, that's peanuts compared to energy.

1350
00:46:11,850 --> 00:46:14,750
Energy is 60% of the cost.

1351
00:46:14,950 --> 00:46:17,510
But, sir, you campaigned on a promise to

1352
00:46:17,510 --> 00:46:19,510
bring prices down on day one.

1353
00:46:19,510 --> 00:46:21,410
Well, I don't know, when you say strollers

1354
00:46:21,410 --> 00:46:22,030
are going up.

1355
00:46:22,550 --> 00:46:24,070
Strollers, keep on the strollers.

1356
00:46:24,110 --> 00:46:25,030
This is great, Kirsten.

1357
00:46:25,310 --> 00:46:26,110
What kind of a thing?

1358
00:46:26,190 --> 00:46:28,470
I'm saying that gasoline is going down.

1359
00:46:28,470 --> 00:46:32,010
Gasoline is thousands of times more important than

1360
00:46:32,010 --> 00:46:33,070
a stroller someplace.

1361
00:46:33,090 --> 00:46:34,310
But what do you say to Americans who

1362
00:46:34,310 --> 00:46:36,350
say they voted for you because they want

1363
00:46:36,350 --> 00:46:37,970
and they need relief right now?

1364
00:46:37,970 --> 00:46:38,650
They need strollers.

1365
00:46:38,650 --> 00:46:39,410
They're getting it.

1366
00:46:39,750 --> 00:46:40,290
Right now?

1367
00:46:40,470 --> 00:46:42,950
What about those different items?

1368
00:46:43,190 --> 00:46:43,810
Who cares?

1369
00:46:43,870 --> 00:46:44,630
Stay on the strollers.

1370
00:46:44,630 --> 00:46:46,170
Despite the fact that we have a stubborn

1371
00:46:46,170 --> 00:46:46,590
Fed.

1372
00:46:46,730 --> 00:46:48,550
But you said dolls, even dolls could cost

1373
00:46:48,550 --> 00:46:49,030
a couple bucks.

1374
00:46:49,050 --> 00:46:49,530
Bring the dolls back.

1375
00:46:49,570 --> 00:46:51,690
Maybe they might, but you don't need to

1376
00:46:51,690 --> 00:46:53,250
have, as I said, $35.

1377
00:46:53,790 --> 00:46:55,310
You can have two and three and four

1378
00:46:55,310 --> 00:46:56,950
and save a lot of money.

1379
00:46:56,950 --> 00:46:58,790
We don't need to feed the beast.

1380
00:46:59,030 --> 00:47:00,450
Don't feed the beast.

1381
00:47:02,850 --> 00:47:03,890
It's unbelievable.

1382
00:47:04,570 --> 00:47:05,210
Clip of the day.

1383
00:47:05,350 --> 00:47:05,870
Go on.

1384
00:47:05,970 --> 00:47:06,630
Oh, wow.

1385
00:47:06,750 --> 00:47:07,850
OK, thank you very much.

1386
00:47:10,710 --> 00:47:14,410
I'll stop here because they kind of stay

1387
00:47:14,410 --> 00:47:14,850
on tariffs.

1388
00:47:14,930 --> 00:47:16,670
But let's put your tariff clips in here.

1389
00:47:16,750 --> 00:47:19,050
I think that's probably a wise idea.

1390
00:47:19,310 --> 00:47:19,830
Jeez.

1391
00:47:20,050 --> 00:47:20,830
It's great.

1392
00:47:21,370 --> 00:47:22,170
It's fantastic.

1393
00:47:22,430 --> 00:47:23,430
It's so pathetic.

1394
00:47:23,690 --> 00:47:26,870
So they got to bring in Buffett because

1395
00:47:26,870 --> 00:47:28,770
he's retiring and he's got to have his

1396
00:47:28,770 --> 00:47:29,810
last shot in there.

1397
00:47:29,890 --> 00:47:30,670
He's a Democrat.

1398
00:47:33,730 --> 00:47:36,570
Bill, this is once I guess he's not

1399
00:47:36,570 --> 00:47:37,630
friends with Bill anymore.

1400
00:47:38,150 --> 00:47:39,110
No, because of Epstein.

1401
00:47:39,430 --> 00:47:40,110
We all know that.

1402
00:47:40,190 --> 00:47:40,330
Yeah.

1403
00:47:41,190 --> 00:47:42,410
Buffett knows what's up.

1404
00:47:43,990 --> 00:47:44,770
He knows what.

1405
00:47:44,910 --> 00:47:45,610
So he does.

1406
00:47:45,670 --> 00:47:46,730
He wants no part of it.

1407
00:47:46,770 --> 00:47:48,810
And and, you know, I don't think he

1408
00:47:48,810 --> 00:47:49,410
likes divorce.

1409
00:47:49,510 --> 00:47:51,030
I think that's a problem for him.

1410
00:47:52,550 --> 00:47:53,490
I think you might be right.

1411
00:47:53,510 --> 00:47:55,110
He's from, you know, he's from Wichita.

1412
00:47:55,470 --> 00:47:55,670
Yeah.

1413
00:47:56,650 --> 00:47:58,630
Here's Buffett anti-terrorist short.

1414
00:47:58,890 --> 00:48:01,810
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said the United States

1415
00:48:01,810 --> 00:48:04,010
should not use trade as a weapon.

1416
00:48:04,470 --> 00:48:06,870
Buffett, who's the fifth richest person in the

1417
00:48:06,870 --> 00:48:09,550
world, made the comments during today's annual meeting

1418
00:48:09,550 --> 00:48:11,570
of Berkshire Hathaway, where he's CEO.

1419
00:48:12,210 --> 00:48:14,130
He also announced that he'll be retiring at

1420
00:48:14,130 --> 00:48:15,390
the end of the year when he'll be

1421
00:48:15,390 --> 00:48:15,990
95.

1422
00:48:17,410 --> 00:48:17,830
Yeah.

1423
00:48:17,990 --> 00:48:18,690
Don't use him.

1424
00:48:18,810 --> 00:48:19,470
Don't use him.

1425
00:48:19,730 --> 00:48:20,030
Why?

1426
00:48:20,310 --> 00:48:22,590
Because he has he's invested in Chinese companies.

1427
00:48:22,690 --> 00:48:23,230
That's why.

1428
00:48:23,590 --> 00:48:24,450
Yeah, of course.

1429
00:48:24,450 --> 00:48:25,290
Trump Ted.

1430
00:48:25,470 --> 00:48:27,890
There's the other clip is Trump tariffs empty.

1431
00:48:29,110 --> 00:48:31,810
Meanwhile, President Trump brushed aside recession fears in

1432
00:48:31,810 --> 00:48:33,790
an interview for tomorrow's Meet the Press on

1433
00:48:33,790 --> 00:48:34,150
NBC.

1434
00:48:34,930 --> 00:48:37,250
Mr. Trump said the pains of this transition

1435
00:48:37,250 --> 00:48:39,710
period will lead to a flourishing economy.

1436
00:48:40,310 --> 00:48:41,470
It's the same question.

1437
00:48:41,770 --> 00:48:43,190
There are many people on Wall Street say

1438
00:48:43,190 --> 00:48:45,050
this is going to be the greatest windfall

1439
00:48:45,050 --> 00:48:45,670
ever happened.

1440
00:48:45,730 --> 00:48:46,730
And that's my question.

1441
00:48:46,790 --> 00:48:47,210
Remember this?

1442
00:48:47,570 --> 00:48:47,970
Long term.

1443
00:48:48,750 --> 00:48:50,070
Is it OK in the short term to

1444
00:48:50,070 --> 00:48:50,550
have a recession?

1445
00:48:51,870 --> 00:48:53,330
Look, look, look.

1446
00:48:54,750 --> 00:48:56,470
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1447
00:48:56,710 --> 00:48:57,450
Everything's OK.

1448
00:48:58,070 --> 00:48:58,770
What we are.

1449
00:48:59,110 --> 00:49:00,690
I said this is a transition period.

1450
00:49:00,830 --> 00:49:02,350
I think we're going to do fantastically.

1451
00:49:02,950 --> 00:49:03,810
This week, new government.

1452
00:49:04,230 --> 00:49:04,670
Fantastically.

1453
00:49:04,910 --> 00:49:06,910
Is that a proper use of the word

1454
00:49:06,910 --> 00:49:07,370
fantastic?

1455
00:49:07,570 --> 00:49:10,110
I don't think fantastically is a real word.

1456
00:49:10,610 --> 00:49:11,810
But we are.

1457
00:49:12,050 --> 00:49:13,730
I said this is a transition period.

1458
00:49:13,830 --> 00:49:15,390
I think we're going to do fantastically.

1459
00:49:15,850 --> 00:49:17,830
This week, new government numbers show that the

1460
00:49:17,830 --> 00:49:20,190
US economy shrank in the first three months

1461
00:49:20,190 --> 00:49:20,570
of the year.

1462
00:49:20,950 --> 00:49:23,030
That's the first drop in three years.

1463
00:49:23,030 --> 00:49:25,990
Imports in the first quarter surged as companies

1464
00:49:25,990 --> 00:49:27,830
tried to beat tariff deadlines.

1465
00:49:28,490 --> 00:49:30,710
The tariffs on cars and car parts kicked

1466
00:49:30,710 --> 00:49:33,890
in today with significant changes intended to blunt

1467
00:49:33,890 --> 00:49:35,550
the impact on US carmakers.

1468
00:49:36,290 --> 00:49:37,190
Yeah, yeah.

1469
00:49:37,410 --> 00:49:40,830
Okay, let's go back to Kristen Welker, because

1470
00:49:40,830 --> 00:49:46,990
now it's about Abrior Galaga Garcia.

1471
00:49:49,270 --> 00:49:51,850
I'm curious to know what it means.

1472
00:49:51,850 --> 00:49:55,050
You declared a national emergency on the southern

1473
00:49:55,050 --> 00:49:55,490
border.

1474
00:49:55,630 --> 00:49:56,950
What does it mean?

1475
00:49:57,090 --> 00:49:58,170
What does it mean?

1476
00:49:58,310 --> 00:49:59,810
Because we had a national emergency on the

1477
00:49:59,810 --> 00:50:00,070
border.

1478
00:50:00,470 --> 00:50:02,970
A national emergency on the southern border.

1479
00:50:03,070 --> 00:50:04,510
The order is still in place.

1480
00:50:04,750 --> 00:50:06,270
By the way, it means exactly what you

1481
00:50:06,270 --> 00:50:06,510
said.

1482
00:50:06,870 --> 00:50:08,590
It means we have the most secure border

1483
00:50:08,590 --> 00:50:09,310
we've ever had.

1484
00:50:09,310 --> 00:50:11,990
And I guess the question becomes, when will

1485
00:50:11,990 --> 00:50:13,370
you know that the emergency is over?

1486
00:50:13,430 --> 00:50:15,110
Are you planning to lift it at some

1487
00:50:15,110 --> 00:50:15,290
point?

1488
00:50:15,330 --> 00:50:15,970
Is it necessary?

1489
00:50:15,970 --> 00:50:17,750
Because obviously, the military is involved.

1490
00:50:17,890 --> 00:50:19,870
Will you lift that emergency?

1491
00:50:19,930 --> 00:50:22,190
Well, the biggest emergency is the courts aren't

1492
00:50:22,190 --> 00:50:23,450
allowing us to take really bad people out.

1493
00:50:23,450 --> 00:50:24,950
We're going to talk about that, but talk

1494
00:50:24,950 --> 00:50:26,050
to me first about this.

1495
00:50:26,050 --> 00:50:26,730
Well, that's to me the emergency.

1496
00:50:26,970 --> 00:50:28,330
Talk to me first about this emergency.

1497
00:50:28,330 --> 00:50:30,270
The border now is not the emergency.

1498
00:50:30,510 --> 00:50:33,830
The border is all part of the same

1499
00:50:33,830 --> 00:50:34,350
thing, though.

1500
00:50:34,810 --> 00:50:37,630
The big emergency right now is that we

1501
00:50:37,630 --> 00:50:39,530
have thousands of people that we want to

1502
00:50:39,530 --> 00:50:41,630
take out, and we have some judges that

1503
00:50:41,630 --> 00:50:42,730
want everybody to go to court.

1504
00:50:42,730 --> 00:50:45,550
Some of them you appointed, sir, including three

1505
00:50:45,550 --> 00:50:46,630
on the Supreme- I like that.

1506
00:50:47,290 --> 00:50:49,550
I've been hearing that more and more, so

1507
00:50:49,550 --> 00:50:51,750
that when they really want to hammer a

1508
00:50:51,750 --> 00:50:52,630
point home- Sir.

1509
00:50:53,470 --> 00:50:55,110
Some of them you appointed, sir.

1510
00:50:55,990 --> 00:50:56,350
Sir.

1511
00:50:56,350 --> 00:50:58,010
Yeah, shimmy your shoulders.

1512
00:50:58,330 --> 00:51:00,130
And we have some judges that want everybody

1513
00:51:00,130 --> 00:51:00,610
to go to court.

1514
00:51:00,610 --> 00:51:03,370
Some of them you appointed, sir, including three

1515
00:51:03,370 --> 00:51:03,990
- Hold on a second.

1516
00:51:04,310 --> 00:51:07,930
What's the implication here is that the judges

1517
00:51:07,930 --> 00:51:08,850
are political.

1518
00:51:09,590 --> 00:51:11,650
They don't know that they're doing this, but

1519
00:51:11,650 --> 00:51:13,610
they're actually- Yes, you're so correct.

1520
00:51:13,830 --> 00:51:16,930
They're actually impugning the court system by making

1521
00:51:16,930 --> 00:51:18,810
the comment, well, some of them you appointed.

1522
00:51:18,810 --> 00:51:22,230
In other words, so if you appointed them,

1523
00:51:22,290 --> 00:51:23,150
they should go one way.

1524
00:51:23,230 --> 00:51:24,230
If you didn't appoint them, they're going to

1525
00:51:24,230 --> 00:51:24,590
go the other.

1526
00:51:24,890 --> 00:51:26,750
As if the judges are all part of

1527
00:51:26,750 --> 00:51:29,130
a political system instead of being a judiciary

1528
00:51:29,130 --> 00:51:30,190
that's independent.

1529
00:51:30,450 --> 00:51:32,370
Well, I think- They're actually saying it

1530
00:51:32,370 --> 00:51:33,010
out loud.

1531
00:51:33,250 --> 00:51:36,110
Yes, she's admitting that these judges are political,

1532
00:51:36,390 --> 00:51:40,070
and that, yes, I think you're right.

1533
00:51:40,130 --> 00:51:40,770
That's a good catch.

1534
00:51:40,970 --> 00:51:43,830
The big emergency right now is that we

1535
00:51:43,830 --> 00:51:45,750
have thousands of people that we want to

1536
00:51:45,750 --> 00:51:47,830
take out, and we have some judges that

1537
00:51:47,830 --> 00:51:48,930
want everybody to go to court.

1538
00:51:48,930 --> 00:51:51,770
Some of them you appointed, sir, including three

1539
00:51:51,770 --> 00:51:52,690
on the Supreme Court.

1540
00:51:52,710 --> 00:51:53,210
You know, they change.

1541
00:51:53,390 --> 00:51:55,010
I mean, it's unbelievable.

1542
00:51:55,550 --> 00:51:57,590
It's unbelievable how that happens, but they do

1543
00:51:57,590 --> 00:51:58,070
change.

1544
00:51:58,250 --> 00:51:59,690
Just to button this up, though, are you

1545
00:51:59,690 --> 00:52:02,790
planning to lift that emergency order anytime soon,

1546
00:52:02,850 --> 00:52:04,110
now that the border's secure?

1547
00:52:04,110 --> 00:52:04,630
No, we have an emergency.

1548
00:52:04,950 --> 00:52:06,370
We have a massive emergency.

1549
00:52:07,270 --> 00:52:10,490
Overall, it's an overall emergency on immigration, and

1550
00:52:10,490 --> 00:52:14,170
if the courts don't allow us to take

1551
00:52:14,170 --> 00:52:16,290
people out, if we had to have a

1552
00:52:16,290 --> 00:52:18,730
court case, every single, think of it, every

1553
00:52:18,730 --> 00:52:20,790
single person, we have millions of people.

1554
00:52:21,190 --> 00:52:22,950
We're going to have millions of court cases?

1555
00:52:23,370 --> 00:52:25,070
Figure two weeks of court case, it would

1556
00:52:25,070 --> 00:52:26,370
be 300 years.

1557
00:52:29,330 --> 00:52:35,990
So, meanwhile, the EPP, the Euro Parliament, they

1558
00:52:35,990 --> 00:52:37,250
have the, what do they call them, the

1559
00:52:37,250 --> 00:52:37,750
debates.

1560
00:52:38,770 --> 00:52:41,550
They have this thing in the European Parliament

1561
00:52:41,550 --> 00:52:44,110
where they do debates, and it's basically a

1562
00:52:44,110 --> 00:52:45,350
reason to take a trip.

1563
00:52:45,910 --> 00:52:49,330
So, they all went to Valencia, Valencia, Spain,

1564
00:52:49,550 --> 00:52:53,250
got there right after the blackout, coincidentally, and

1565
00:52:53,250 --> 00:52:54,870
Queen Ursula spoke.

1566
00:52:54,930 --> 00:52:56,130
She spoke for about half an hour.

1567
00:52:56,250 --> 00:52:57,770
I only got two short clips from her,

1568
00:52:58,690 --> 00:53:03,510
but, yeah, I mean, this is great.

1569
00:53:03,890 --> 00:53:05,330
What's happening in America is great.

1570
00:53:05,410 --> 00:53:06,250
It's great for us.

1571
00:53:06,690 --> 00:53:09,810
Now, the world of trade is turning towards

1572
00:53:09,810 --> 00:53:13,130
us, and Frederich, you mentioned it.

1573
00:53:14,090 --> 00:53:16,630
Since last year, we've concluded a new wave

1574
00:53:16,630 --> 00:53:20,430
of trade deals from Mercosur to Mexico to

1575
00:53:20,430 --> 00:53:20,970
Switzerland.

1576
00:53:21,630 --> 00:53:24,490
We're working with India and Indonesia, with the

1577
00:53:24,490 --> 00:53:28,490
Emirates and Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia, and

1578
00:53:28,490 --> 00:53:29,030
the Pacific.

1579
00:53:30,010 --> 00:53:31,950
If I clip this, I would put what's

1580
00:53:31,950 --> 00:53:32,990
-his-name yelling in.

1581
00:53:33,050 --> 00:53:37,010
Boston, we're going to be in Minnesota, and

1582
00:53:37,010 --> 00:53:38,510
then we're going to go to Iowa.

1583
00:53:39,470 --> 00:53:41,290
Yeah, well, that's why there's two of us.

1584
00:53:41,290 --> 00:53:45,190
They all want to deal with us because

1585
00:53:45,190 --> 00:53:51,910
we are fair, we are reliable, and we

1586
00:53:51,910 --> 00:53:53,590
play by the rules.

1587
00:53:53,770 --> 00:53:55,390
Our own rules, but it's rules.

1588
00:53:55,690 --> 00:54:00,410
So, my friends, let's stay the course, cool

1589
00:54:00,410 --> 00:54:04,970
-headed and united, because that's who we are,

1590
00:54:05,430 --> 00:54:07,990
and that's the European way of trade.

1591
00:54:08,210 --> 00:54:09,310
Let's stick to that.

1592
00:54:10,690 --> 00:54:11,770
This woman.

1593
00:54:12,030 --> 00:54:12,830
She's great.

1594
00:54:13,270 --> 00:54:16,790
But the key to our prosperity...

1595
00:54:16,790 --> 00:54:17,530
Oh, here's the key.

1596
00:54:17,590 --> 00:54:19,370
...is to put our own house in order

1597
00:54:19,370 --> 00:54:22,730
and to make business easy right here in

1598
00:54:22,730 --> 00:54:23,050
Europe.

1599
00:54:23,890 --> 00:54:24,430
Okay.

1600
00:54:25,270 --> 00:54:27,350
Business is anything but easy in Europe.

1601
00:54:27,590 --> 00:54:29,490
So, she referenced Friedrich.

1602
00:54:29,930 --> 00:54:30,470
Friedrich.

1603
00:54:31,070 --> 00:54:32,370
Well, stop a second.

1604
00:54:32,550 --> 00:54:34,890
That is a fabulous point that has to

1605
00:54:34,890 --> 00:54:35,470
be made.

1606
00:54:36,510 --> 00:54:38,730
Doing business in Europe is a pain in

1607
00:54:38,730 --> 00:54:39,750
the ass for everybody.

1608
00:54:40,090 --> 00:54:41,930
Tons of paperwork, blue envelopes.

1609
00:54:41,930 --> 00:54:43,770
That's why they can't get their act together

1610
00:54:43,770 --> 00:54:45,810
with entrepreneurial stuff.

1611
00:54:45,910 --> 00:54:48,390
They don't have anything like Silicon Valley.

1612
00:54:48,850 --> 00:54:50,170
It's very hard to invest.

1613
00:54:50,810 --> 00:54:53,070
There's all these roadblocks, this and that.

1614
00:54:53,890 --> 00:54:56,510
Even when they let you do something, they'll

1615
00:54:56,510 --> 00:54:57,690
put up roadblocks.

1616
00:54:58,630 --> 00:54:59,290
I'm reminded of this.

1617
00:54:59,350 --> 00:55:00,710
One time I went, so I go to

1618
00:55:00,710 --> 00:55:02,750
France, this is a long time ago, and

1619
00:55:02,750 --> 00:55:04,170
I had an import license.

1620
00:55:04,170 --> 00:55:06,030
I worked with an importer so I could

1621
00:55:06,030 --> 00:55:07,370
bring some wine back because I didn't take

1622
00:55:07,370 --> 00:55:08,070
a big wine tour.

1623
00:55:08,110 --> 00:55:09,330
I was wondering what it was for.

1624
00:55:09,450 --> 00:55:10,590
Yes, of course, of course.

1625
00:55:11,350 --> 00:55:14,070
Yeah, I imported about, I don't know, 30,

1626
00:55:14,190 --> 00:55:14,810
40 cases.

1627
00:55:14,990 --> 00:55:15,670
Oh, beautiful.

1628
00:55:16,070 --> 00:55:19,150
For about half the first cases that I

1629
00:55:19,150 --> 00:55:20,730
got because there was these two different kinds

1630
00:55:20,730 --> 00:55:23,190
of paperwork that were involved with getting the

1631
00:55:23,190 --> 00:55:24,550
wine imported and exported.

1632
00:55:24,830 --> 00:55:25,010
Yeah.

1633
00:55:25,490 --> 00:55:27,150
And it was one kind and there was

1634
00:55:27,150 --> 00:55:29,410
another kind, one for doing something somewhere and

1635
00:55:29,410 --> 00:55:30,970
one for getting it out of the country.

1636
00:55:31,490 --> 00:55:33,050
And so I collected a bunch of wine

1637
00:55:33,050 --> 00:55:35,690
from the Jura region and I went to

1638
00:55:35,690 --> 00:55:39,850
see the guy who ran Hobai and he

1639
00:55:39,850 --> 00:55:40,970
was looking at my paperwork.

1640
00:55:41,110 --> 00:55:42,530
He says, you got the wrong paperwork.

1641
00:55:42,670 --> 00:55:44,610
Your papers are not in order, Mr. Borak.

1642
00:55:44,610 --> 00:55:46,110
Well, he wasn't doing the exporting.

1643
00:55:46,210 --> 00:55:47,010
He just looked at it.

1644
00:55:47,050 --> 00:55:48,850
He says, this guy screwed you over by

1645
00:55:48,850 --> 00:55:50,050
giving you the wrong paperwork.

1646
00:55:50,230 --> 00:55:51,090
Now you're going to have to go through

1647
00:55:51,090 --> 00:55:52,570
a rigamarole to get this stuff out of

1648
00:55:52,570 --> 00:55:52,790
here.

1649
00:55:53,250 --> 00:55:53,890
I said, what?

1650
00:55:53,890 --> 00:55:55,670
He gave me the right paperwork for his

1651
00:55:55,670 --> 00:55:55,970
wines.

1652
00:55:56,050 --> 00:55:56,950
I got a bunch of wine out.

1653
00:55:57,210 --> 00:55:58,590
But when I dropped the wine off, I

1654
00:55:58,590 --> 00:56:01,010
dropped it off and, you know, there's all

1655
00:56:01,010 --> 00:56:02,410
these, oh, you can't do it.

1656
00:56:02,830 --> 00:56:05,170
The French guys, the exporters that were there.

1657
00:56:05,530 --> 00:56:07,170
And he said, oh, this is no good.

1658
00:56:07,250 --> 00:56:08,430
You can't do this.

1659
00:56:08,450 --> 00:56:10,190
I said, okay, here.

1660
00:56:10,370 --> 00:56:11,230
Here's the wine.

1661
00:56:11,370 --> 00:56:12,250
Here's the paperwork.

1662
00:56:13,250 --> 00:56:14,670
If you could take care of it, you

1663
00:56:14,670 --> 00:56:16,530
take care of it or keep the wine.

1664
00:56:16,630 --> 00:56:17,210
I'm out of here.

1665
00:56:17,250 --> 00:56:18,150
I got to fly back.

1666
00:56:18,530 --> 00:56:19,730
The wine all got shipped?

1667
00:56:19,910 --> 00:56:20,590
It all got shipped.

1668
00:56:20,830 --> 00:56:21,390
Oh, really?

1669
00:56:22,070 --> 00:56:23,170
Yeah, it all got shipped.

1670
00:56:23,170 --> 00:56:24,190
It's all bullcrap.

1671
00:56:24,290 --> 00:56:25,530
They were waiting for a bribe.

1672
00:56:25,810 --> 00:56:26,770
That's what they were waiting for.

1673
00:56:26,790 --> 00:56:26,970
I don't know.

1674
00:56:27,430 --> 00:56:27,790
Maybe.

1675
00:56:27,970 --> 00:56:28,850
I don't know what it was.

1676
00:56:29,050 --> 00:56:29,450
For sure.

1677
00:56:30,110 --> 00:56:32,230
Your papers are not in order, Mr. Dweck.

1678
00:56:35,470 --> 00:56:37,250
So she referenced Friedrich.

1679
00:56:38,490 --> 00:56:40,970
Friedrich Merz, also known as Mr. Peepers.

1680
00:56:42,250 --> 00:56:43,470
And Mr. Peepers made it.

1681
00:56:44,010 --> 00:56:45,730
I'm going to get to the blackout in

1682
00:56:45,730 --> 00:56:45,910
a minute.

1683
00:56:45,950 --> 00:56:47,670
But Mr. Peepers made a big deal about

1684
00:56:47,670 --> 00:56:48,530
climate change.

1685
00:56:49,250 --> 00:56:50,270
Oh, climate change.

1686
00:56:50,290 --> 00:56:51,750
We have to be very careful because, you

1687
00:56:51,750 --> 00:56:53,510
know, we have this issue where, you know,

1688
00:56:53,550 --> 00:56:56,250
we want to increase our industrial base, but

1689
00:56:56,250 --> 00:56:57,730
we kind of have no energy.

1690
00:56:59,370 --> 00:57:01,630
So he has a plan for it and

1691
00:57:01,630 --> 00:57:02,650
it's very sneaky.

1692
00:57:03,270 --> 00:57:04,370
So he slips this in.

1693
00:57:04,650 --> 00:57:07,770
We have to find a better balance between

1694
00:57:07,770 --> 00:57:11,410
fighting climate change, which is necessary more than

1695
00:57:11,410 --> 00:57:11,670
ever.

1696
00:57:11,910 --> 00:57:12,450
More than ever.

1697
00:57:12,530 --> 00:57:15,550
And protecting the environment on the one hand

1698
00:57:15,550 --> 00:57:21,030
and avoiding deindustrialization on the other hand in

1699
00:57:21,030 --> 00:57:21,730
our countries.

1700
00:57:21,730 --> 00:57:22,190
Bravo.

1701
00:57:24,570 --> 00:57:27,310
And so they're all like, yeah, that's right.

1702
00:57:27,410 --> 00:57:28,190
We need more energy.

1703
00:57:28,350 --> 00:57:29,430
We can't do anything.

1704
00:57:29,610 --> 00:57:29,790
Bravo.

1705
00:57:33,050 --> 00:57:36,610
However, my dear friends, whenever someone says to

1706
00:57:36,610 --> 00:57:38,250
you, my dear friends, you're about to get

1707
00:57:38,250 --> 00:57:38,470
screwed.

1708
00:57:39,790 --> 00:57:43,950
This is a very real and serious issue.

1709
00:57:44,710 --> 00:57:49,890
We will not tackle the enormous challenges ahead

1710
00:57:49,890 --> 00:57:52,710
with a shrinking economy.

1711
00:57:53,550 --> 00:57:54,610
A shrinking economy?

1712
00:57:54,850 --> 00:58:00,370
Sorry to make fun of your accent there,

1713
00:58:00,470 --> 00:58:01,450
but it's what it is.

1714
00:58:01,690 --> 00:58:06,930
The enormous challenges ahead with a shrinking economy.

1715
00:58:08,010 --> 00:58:12,650
We should be ambitious in cutting regulation and

1716
00:58:12,650 --> 00:58:18,770
relying on market-based instruments such as ETS

1717
00:58:18,770 --> 00:58:21,950
implemented by the European Union.

1718
00:58:22,110 --> 00:58:25,950
Yes, ETS, ETS, ETS.

1719
00:58:26,290 --> 00:58:29,070
Allow me to be very open on that.

1720
00:58:29,330 --> 00:58:29,590
Please.

1721
00:58:29,850 --> 00:58:34,870
Let us fight over regulation on all levels.

1722
00:58:35,190 --> 00:58:39,510
So he throws in ETS, which is the

1723
00:58:39,510 --> 00:58:42,810
emissions trading system of the European Union.

1724
00:58:43,970 --> 00:58:46,750
So, oh, it'll be less regulation because you

1725
00:58:46,750 --> 00:58:48,190
just got to buy some carbon credits.

1726
00:58:48,330 --> 00:58:48,870
That's all.

1727
00:58:49,970 --> 00:58:54,110
He's literally announcing a tax on all of

1728
00:58:54,110 --> 00:58:55,850
the European Union member states.

1729
00:58:56,530 --> 00:58:58,970
And he's doing it under, we got to

1730
00:58:58,970 --> 00:58:59,850
tackle regulation.

1731
00:59:00,110 --> 00:59:01,190
We got to make it easier.

1732
00:59:01,550 --> 00:59:02,430
Yeah, we'll make it easier.

1733
00:59:02,570 --> 00:59:03,410
Didn't say I was going to make it

1734
00:59:03,410 --> 00:59:03,990
less expensive.

1735
00:59:05,150 --> 00:59:08,130
So then they bring out Paula Pinot.

1736
00:59:08,610 --> 00:59:09,450
Paula Pinot.

1737
00:59:10,070 --> 00:59:13,410
She is the spokeshole for the European Commission,

1738
00:59:13,870 --> 00:59:17,130
the worst spokeshole ever when it comes to

1739
00:59:17,130 --> 00:59:17,610
English.

1740
00:59:17,610 --> 00:59:19,630
And then so she chose to do it

1741
00:59:19,630 --> 00:59:20,070
in English.

1742
00:59:20,790 --> 00:59:22,790
And I think if you're going to be

1743
00:59:22,790 --> 00:59:28,730
a spokesperson, you shouldn't be at the whole

1744
00:59:28,730 --> 00:59:29,150
time.

1745
00:59:30,270 --> 00:59:32,830
And so she referenced the blackout that happened

1746
00:59:32,830 --> 00:59:36,430
just today, coincidentally just the day before this

1747
00:59:36,430 --> 00:59:37,690
Valencia meeting.

1748
00:59:38,550 --> 00:59:41,290
And of course, she brought it right away

1749
00:59:41,290 --> 00:59:42,410
to disinformation.

1750
00:59:43,810 --> 00:59:47,970
We can really see how far manipulation of

1751
00:59:47,970 --> 00:59:52,330
information can go and what a negative impact

1752
00:59:52,330 --> 00:59:52,870
it can be.

1753
00:59:53,030 --> 00:59:55,990
On the basis of that fake article, there

1754
00:59:55,990 --> 00:59:58,690
were reactions, thinking that there had been a

1755
00:59:58,690 --> 01:00:04,390
deliberate attack behind, which is obviously very, very

1756
01:00:04,390 --> 01:00:07,830
bad and can have very serious consequences.

1757
01:00:08,270 --> 01:00:10,810
So this, again, is an example on how

1758
01:00:10,810 --> 01:00:15,550
information manipulation undermines the trust in credible sources

1759
01:00:15,550 --> 01:00:17,070
and organizations.

1760
01:00:17,390 --> 01:00:19,790
She's talking about the article that came out

1761
01:00:19,790 --> 01:00:21,550
that said it was a cyber attack.

1762
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:24,730
And it can actually even divide our society

1763
01:00:24,730 --> 01:00:29,710
in light of such a serious incident.

1764
01:00:30,310 --> 01:00:33,370
And in the commission, we have several tools

1765
01:00:33,370 --> 01:00:38,470
at our disposal to fight against manipulation of

1766
01:00:38,470 --> 01:00:39,210
information.

1767
01:00:39,210 --> 01:00:42,530
It includes a task force on strategic communication

1768
01:00:42,530 --> 01:00:48,910
and countering information manipulation, but also active collaboration

1769
01:00:48,910 --> 01:00:52,610
with fact-checkers, with online platforms.

1770
01:00:52,830 --> 01:00:53,710
Fact-checkers.

1771
01:00:54,130 --> 01:00:55,630
We have many fact-checkers.

1772
01:00:56,370 --> 01:00:58,770
By the way, just a small interstitial.

1773
01:00:59,370 --> 01:01:03,170
Several people emailed me after I gave the

1774
01:01:03,170 --> 01:01:05,990
report from our dude named Ben, named Ben,

1775
01:01:06,470 --> 01:01:09,290
protector of megawatts, whose actual job it is

1776
01:01:09,290 --> 01:01:15,990
to understand, protect grid networks, understand how they're

1777
01:01:15,990 --> 01:01:18,230
working, what is working, what isn't working.

1778
01:01:18,750 --> 01:01:20,690
And he told me straight up, straight from

1779
01:01:20,690 --> 01:01:23,550
the people he coordinates with, he talks with,

1780
01:01:23,670 --> 01:01:24,910
he's in the business.

1781
01:01:25,210 --> 01:01:26,710
He said, this is what happened.

1782
01:01:27,050 --> 01:01:31,970
They lost 15 gigawatts from France.

1783
01:01:32,330 --> 01:01:34,190
And so they had no base load.

1784
01:01:34,210 --> 01:01:35,670
Then everything started to fluctuate.

1785
01:01:35,710 --> 01:01:37,190
And then the system just starts to shut

1786
01:01:37,190 --> 01:01:37,430
down.

1787
01:01:37,430 --> 01:01:39,110
That is what happened.

1788
01:01:39,710 --> 01:01:40,330
But no, no.

1789
01:01:41,350 --> 01:01:42,350
Here is an example.

1790
01:01:43,190 --> 01:01:46,610
Adam, you are misinformed about what caused the

1791
01:01:46,610 --> 01:01:47,050
outage.

1792
01:01:47,950 --> 01:01:50,250
You must look at Kim Iverson's interview with

1793
01:01:50,250 --> 01:01:54,150
Ben Davidson on YouTube, called Magnetic Pole Shift,

1794
01:01:54,290 --> 01:01:55,470
Europe's Just the Beginning.

1795
01:01:55,950 --> 01:01:58,370
If you know his credentials, he's the real

1796
01:01:58,370 --> 01:02:00,250
deal, and he has it right.

1797
01:02:01,350 --> 01:02:02,570
Respectfully, your fan.

1798
01:02:03,570 --> 01:02:07,630
So this whole nonsense that they launched into

1799
01:02:07,630 --> 01:02:10,770
the atmosphere right away of, well, no, it's

1800
01:02:10,770 --> 01:02:13,590
a very rare event, atmospheric conditions.

1801
01:02:14,130 --> 01:02:15,630
And then we've got the space weather guy

1802
01:02:15,630 --> 01:02:17,910
saying, no, it's the magnetic pole shift.

1803
01:02:18,230 --> 01:02:19,210
That's what caused it.

1804
01:02:19,370 --> 01:02:20,670
Come on.

1805
01:02:21,210 --> 01:02:23,670
It's like a psyop on top of a

1806
01:02:23,670 --> 01:02:24,250
psyop.

1807
01:02:24,550 --> 01:02:26,910
No, it's much simpler than that.

1808
01:02:27,910 --> 01:02:30,170
Although the European Commission doesn't know exactly what

1809
01:02:30,170 --> 01:02:30,490
happened.

1810
01:02:30,610 --> 01:02:33,330
We go back to Paula Pinhole, and she

1811
01:02:33,330 --> 01:02:35,510
brings in at the very end here.

1812
01:02:36,430 --> 01:02:38,730
She tosses over to the lady who's in

1813
01:02:38,730 --> 01:02:39,350
charge of that.

1814
01:02:39,410 --> 01:02:41,270
Thank you, Christian, for giving me also the

1815
01:02:41,270 --> 01:02:44,570
opportunity to precisely make this point and how

1816
01:02:44,570 --> 01:02:46,630
important it is and how we really need

1817
01:02:46,630 --> 01:02:49,630
to work together in light of information manipulation

1818
01:02:49,630 --> 01:02:51,670
in order to counter it.

1819
01:02:51,930 --> 01:02:54,730
And if I still may add on renewables

1820
01:02:54,730 --> 01:02:57,550
and use this opportunity, I want to say

1821
01:02:57,550 --> 01:02:59,970
that the Spanish and Portuguese operators, they are

1822
01:02:59,970 --> 01:03:03,990
well experienced in handling high volumes of renewable

1823
01:03:03,990 --> 01:03:06,650
generation in their electricity systems.

1824
01:03:06,890 --> 01:03:10,950
So we also have clear rules on the

1825
01:03:10,950 --> 01:03:14,050
EU level in this regard, and we ensure

1826
01:03:14,050 --> 01:03:17,370
that the balancing of the electricity system and

1827
01:03:17,370 --> 01:03:22,510
its capacity is capable to absorb renewable generation.

1828
01:03:22,870 --> 01:03:25,150
So we still don't know what was the

1829
01:03:25,150 --> 01:03:27,690
cause of the blackout, but this is on

1830
01:03:27,690 --> 01:03:30,390
the renewables that there is enough experience to

1831
01:03:30,390 --> 01:03:30,910
handle it.

1832
01:03:31,470 --> 01:03:34,850
A follow-up such, we will not yet

1833
01:03:34,850 --> 01:03:37,610
elaborate on that before we really have a

1834
01:03:37,610 --> 01:03:40,130
solid assessment by the experts.

1835
01:03:40,430 --> 01:03:42,810
So we don't know exactly what happened, but

1836
01:03:42,810 --> 01:03:44,830
just so you know, we can handle renewables.

1837
01:03:44,950 --> 01:03:45,830
We've got expertise.

1838
01:03:46,130 --> 01:03:47,630
We don't know what happened, but we can

1839
01:03:47,630 --> 01:03:48,590
handle renewables.

1840
01:03:48,730 --> 01:03:49,370
We can do it.

1841
01:03:49,450 --> 01:03:50,270
We don't know what happened.

1842
01:03:50,890 --> 01:03:52,650
We'll follow up when we know what happened.

1843
01:03:55,450 --> 01:03:56,970
Did you even hear my note that I

1844
01:03:56,970 --> 01:03:58,550
read, or were you offline at that point?

1845
01:03:59,850 --> 01:04:00,650
Can you hear me?

1846
01:04:00,730 --> 01:04:01,450
I can hear you now.

1847
01:04:01,510 --> 01:04:02,450
Yeah, I saw what happened.

1848
01:04:04,250 --> 01:04:05,630
Well, I had to go back.

1849
01:04:05,690 --> 01:04:06,650
I had to do that because I was

1850
01:04:06,650 --> 01:04:08,770
yakking at you for the last five minutes

1851
01:04:08,770 --> 01:04:10,690
about one thing or another, and you didn't

1852
01:04:10,690 --> 01:04:11,290
hear any of it.

1853
01:04:11,310 --> 01:04:12,110
I'm sorry.

1854
01:04:13,370 --> 01:04:14,130
Oh, man.

1855
01:04:14,190 --> 01:04:15,070
What were you yakking?

1856
01:04:15,910 --> 01:04:18,390
Well, I've gone, it's old news now.

1857
01:04:18,690 --> 01:04:19,830
Well, give me a shot.

1858
01:04:19,950 --> 01:04:20,950
Give me, try me out.

1859
01:04:21,030 --> 01:04:21,950
I don't remember.

1860
01:04:22,090 --> 01:04:23,750
It was just like some comment I had

1861
01:04:23,750 --> 01:04:25,430
about something that, one of these clips you

1862
01:04:25,430 --> 01:04:25,830
were playing.

1863
01:04:25,930 --> 01:04:27,390
This has been going on for like six,

1864
01:04:27,450 --> 01:04:27,990
seven minutes.

1865
01:04:28,570 --> 01:04:29,390
Oh, I'm so sorry.

1866
01:04:30,410 --> 01:04:32,090
Well, I've got the thing.

1867
01:04:32,090 --> 01:04:33,630
I'll put the monitor right in front of

1868
01:04:33,630 --> 01:04:34,910
me now so I can see if it

1869
01:04:34,910 --> 01:04:35,610
happens again.

1870
01:04:36,110 --> 01:04:36,970
It's very annoying.

1871
01:04:37,930 --> 01:04:39,630
I'm telling you, it's a clean feed deal,

1872
01:04:39,750 --> 01:04:39,910
man.

1873
01:04:41,090 --> 01:04:42,130
That's what I think.

1874
01:04:42,550 --> 01:04:44,250
I mean, it makes no sense for it

1875
01:04:44,250 --> 01:04:45,110
to be anything else.

1876
01:04:45,190 --> 01:04:47,910
It just switches interfaces.

1877
01:04:48,110 --> 01:04:49,330
Like, oh, no, no.

1878
01:04:49,410 --> 01:04:50,970
I expect it to happen once a show.

1879
01:04:51,890 --> 01:04:52,290
Yeah.

1880
01:04:52,950 --> 01:04:56,070
Whenever I'm talking about PsyOps, there it goes.

1881
01:04:56,330 --> 01:04:59,810
Oh, let's, well, since we're doing that, let's

1882
01:04:59,810 --> 01:05:03,310
talk about chemtrails.

1883
01:05:03,790 --> 01:05:05,910
This, ever since Bobby the Op came out

1884
01:05:05,910 --> 01:05:08,130
and talked about this on the Dr. Phil

1885
01:05:08,130 --> 01:05:10,710
show, everybody has to get back into it.

1886
01:05:10,990 --> 01:05:12,330
We're all talking about the chemtrails.

1887
01:05:12,430 --> 01:05:13,630
We even talked about it on the last

1888
01:05:13,630 --> 01:05:13,870
show.

1889
01:05:14,310 --> 01:05:14,610
I do.

1890
01:05:14,870 --> 01:05:16,210
Yeah, I think we talked it out on

1891
01:05:16,210 --> 01:05:16,750
the last show.

1892
01:05:16,810 --> 01:05:18,110
We don't need to talk about it anymore,

1893
01:05:18,270 --> 01:05:18,590
do we?

1894
01:05:18,810 --> 01:05:21,070
Well, we have to play the mainstream media

1895
01:05:21,070 --> 01:05:22,650
clips about it because it's funny.

1896
01:05:23,790 --> 01:05:28,470
By the way, there is ample evidence, I'll

1897
01:05:28,470 --> 01:05:32,850
send you the links, that there's aluminum, barium,

1898
01:05:33,370 --> 01:05:35,370
all kinds of stuff in jet fuel, in

1899
01:05:35,370 --> 01:05:36,690
today's modern jet fuel.

1900
01:05:36,790 --> 01:05:39,370
I know that you were an inspector back

1901
01:05:39,370 --> 01:05:41,150
in the day, but it appears that there

1902
01:05:41,150 --> 01:05:44,170
are particles now that should probably not be

1903
01:05:44,170 --> 01:05:44,750
in jet fuel.

1904
01:05:44,830 --> 01:05:48,030
But this is France 24, here to debunk

1905
01:05:48,030 --> 01:05:49,730
the chemtrails conspiracy.

1906
01:05:50,210 --> 01:05:52,190
This time the truth or fate is over

1907
01:05:52,190 --> 01:05:52,850
by the big bull.

1908
01:05:52,950 --> 01:05:53,870
Good evening to you, Vedika.

1909
01:05:54,030 --> 01:05:57,250
Today, then, talking about a conspiracy theory that's

1910
01:05:57,250 --> 01:05:59,050
now reached all levels of the White House,

1911
01:05:59,750 --> 01:06:00,330
chemtrails.

1912
01:06:00,530 --> 01:06:02,330
Vedika, tell me what they are because I

1913
01:06:02,330 --> 01:06:02,770
don't know.

1914
01:06:02,930 --> 01:06:03,950
And tell us what's going on.

1915
01:06:04,110 --> 01:06:04,890
I don't know.

1916
01:06:05,010 --> 01:06:05,850
I've never heard of it.

1917
01:06:06,130 --> 01:06:07,610
I'm a news anchor.

1918
01:06:07,770 --> 01:06:10,010
I've never heard, what is this chemtrails nonsense?

1919
01:06:10,270 --> 01:06:11,130
I've never heard of this.

1920
01:06:11,290 --> 01:06:13,510
Well, Mark, the US Health Secretary Robert F.

1921
01:06:13,610 --> 01:06:15,970
Kennedy Jr. has pledged that the US will

1922
01:06:15,970 --> 01:06:17,410
fight chemtrails.

1923
01:06:17,490 --> 01:06:19,970
Now, this is an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that's

1924
01:06:19,970 --> 01:06:20,910
been around for decades.

1925
01:06:21,250 --> 01:06:23,730
But it's been consistently debunked by scientists as

1926
01:06:23,730 --> 01:06:25,590
completely- Debunked.

1927
01:06:25,670 --> 01:06:27,450
Not proven incorrect, but debunked.

1928
01:06:27,450 --> 01:06:30,590
So, the chemtrails conspiracy theory is the belief

1929
01:06:30,590 --> 01:06:33,670
that these long-lasting condensation trails that we've

1930
01:06:33,670 --> 01:06:35,570
seen in the skies left by aircraft, that

1931
01:06:35,570 --> 01:06:38,470
they are, in fact, toxic chemical trails that

1932
01:06:38,470 --> 01:06:42,130
are seeding the skies for weather modification, biological

1933
01:06:42,130 --> 01:06:44,710
warfare in order to poison us, or even

1934
01:06:44,710 --> 01:06:46,710
to control people's minds in some of the

1935
01:06:46,710 --> 01:06:48,910
extreme believers' cases.

1936
01:06:49,130 --> 01:06:50,570
Now- Yeah, yeah, correct.

1937
01:06:50,750 --> 01:06:54,890
Believers question the existence of these chemtrails and

1938
01:06:54,890 --> 01:06:56,890
the inconsistencies of them.

1939
01:06:56,890 --> 01:06:59,070
They ask why they're not always there, why

1940
01:06:59,070 --> 01:07:00,990
is it only some planes that produce them,

1941
01:07:01,030 --> 01:07:03,110
or why do they come and then disappear,

1942
01:07:03,290 --> 01:07:03,630
essentially.

1943
01:07:03,970 --> 01:07:06,850
Now, in reality, let's talk the science behind

1944
01:07:06,850 --> 01:07:07,030
them.

1945
01:07:07,110 --> 01:07:09,810
Well, the scientific basis behind these, these are

1946
01:07:09,810 --> 01:07:11,170
not chemtrails at all.

1947
01:07:11,250 --> 01:07:12,490
They are, in fact, contrails.

1948
01:07:12,670 --> 01:07:14,530
In other words, condensation trails.

1949
01:07:14,850 --> 01:07:18,770
They are essentially just temporary plane-created clouds,

1950
01:07:19,130 --> 01:07:20,710
and they're made up of water vapor, and

1951
01:07:20,710 --> 01:07:23,910
they take place when the hot jet fuel

1952
01:07:23,910 --> 01:07:26,270
exhaust, which is mainly water vapor with some

1953
01:07:26,270 --> 01:07:28,930
soot particles, when that mixes with the colder

1954
01:07:28,930 --> 01:07:33,570
air at high altitudes, this creates ice crystals

1955
01:07:33,570 --> 01:07:36,530
that then form these trail-like clouds.

1956
01:07:36,670 --> 01:07:39,330
And these dissipate based on the weather conditions

1957
01:07:39,330 --> 01:07:41,690
of the region that they're taking place in,

1958
01:07:41,730 --> 01:07:42,230
of the day.

1959
01:07:42,370 --> 01:07:43,810
There's many different regions.

1960
01:07:43,970 --> 01:07:44,650
Now- It's amazing.

1961
01:07:44,770 --> 01:07:47,270
So these ice crystals, they float all the

1962
01:07:47,270 --> 01:07:49,050
way down to the Texas ground.

1963
01:07:49,970 --> 01:07:51,890
Our weather conditions are perfect for ice.

1964
01:07:52,010 --> 01:07:54,950
This isn't to say that weather modification is

1965
01:07:54,950 --> 01:07:56,210
entirely false as a concept.

1966
01:07:56,370 --> 01:07:59,050
We know that cloud seeding exists to induce

1967
01:07:59,050 --> 01:08:01,850
rain in dry areas, but this is on

1968
01:08:01,850 --> 01:08:03,890
a very, very small scale worldwide.

1969
01:08:03,990 --> 01:08:07,290
But overall, Mark, according to a 2017 study,

1970
01:08:07,450 --> 01:08:10,290
around 10% of Americans fully believe in

1971
01:08:10,290 --> 01:08:12,130
this chemtrails conspiracy theory.

1972
01:08:12,490 --> 01:08:14,910
Yes, and it's about 70% of the

1973
01:08:14,910 --> 01:08:16,529
town of Fredericksburg.

1974
01:08:17,569 --> 01:08:19,410
And so- That low?

1975
01:08:20,210 --> 01:08:22,970
Well, I don't know the 30% of

1976
01:08:22,970 --> 01:08:23,350
Democrats.

1977
01:08:24,670 --> 01:08:27,170
They expect the chemtrails before the grid goes

1978
01:08:27,170 --> 01:08:27,490
down.

1979
01:08:28,490 --> 01:08:30,210
And so here she is with a very

1980
01:08:30,210 --> 01:08:32,370
nifty way of turning it all around to

1981
01:08:32,370 --> 01:08:34,210
say, well, you know, it's actually not a

1982
01:08:34,210 --> 01:08:34,689
bad idea.

1983
01:08:35,050 --> 01:08:36,210
And that is scary, isn't it?

1984
01:08:36,810 --> 01:08:37,970
It's so scary!

1985
01:08:38,189 --> 01:08:38,830
It's so scary!

1986
01:08:39,109 --> 01:08:39,830
What's scary?

1987
01:08:40,550 --> 01:08:42,590
The chemtrails or the fact that people think

1988
01:08:42,590 --> 01:08:43,330
they're chemtrails?

1989
01:08:43,729 --> 01:08:44,830
And that is scary, isn't it?

1990
01:08:45,210 --> 01:08:47,290
So how has this gone from conspiracy theory

1991
01:08:47,290 --> 01:08:49,109
to actual U.S. legislation?

1992
01:08:49,590 --> 01:08:52,229
Well, just recently, RFK Jr. appeared in an

1993
01:08:52,229 --> 01:08:54,109
interview on the U.S. television show Dr.

1994
01:08:54,270 --> 01:08:54,590
Phil.

1995
01:08:54,950 --> 01:08:56,430
And he said he'd do everything in his

1996
01:08:56,430 --> 01:08:57,910
power to stop the emissions.

1997
01:08:58,029 --> 01:09:00,390
And he appeared to blame chemtrails, the existence

1998
01:09:00,390 --> 01:09:02,470
of them, on another government agency.

1999
01:09:02,470 --> 01:09:04,210
When he was asked about chemicals being sprayed

2000
01:09:04,210 --> 01:09:05,450
in the sky and what he'd do about

2001
01:09:05,450 --> 01:09:07,170
it, he took the question seriously.

2002
01:09:07,310 --> 01:09:09,029
Let's take a very quick listen to what

2003
01:09:09,029 --> 01:09:09,350
he said.

2004
01:09:09,510 --> 01:09:12,090
That is not happening in my agency.

2005
01:09:12,770 --> 01:09:14,069
We don't do that.

2006
01:09:14,350 --> 01:09:17,250
It's done, we think, by DARPA.

2007
01:09:18,470 --> 01:09:20,710
And a lot of it now is coming

2008
01:09:20,710 --> 01:09:21,710
out of the jet fuel.

2009
01:09:22,950 --> 01:09:24,950
Those materials are put in jet fuel.

2010
01:09:26,670 --> 01:09:28,890
I'm going to do everything in my power

2011
01:09:28,890 --> 01:09:29,770
to stop it.

2012
01:09:30,170 --> 01:09:31,950
We're bringing on somebody who's going to think

2013
01:09:31,950 --> 01:09:32,370
only about it.

2014
01:09:32,370 --> 01:09:35,010
Now, when he says we think it's done

2015
01:09:35,010 --> 01:09:36,810
by DARPA, what he's referring to is the

2016
01:09:36,810 --> 01:09:39,630
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is a

2017
01:09:39,630 --> 01:09:41,529
part of the U.S. Department of Defense.

2018
01:09:41,630 --> 01:09:42,870
Now, this isn't the first time he's publicly

2019
01:09:42,870 --> 01:09:43,750
endorsed this.

2020
01:09:43,830 --> 01:09:46,930
He has previously replied to chemtrails fanatics on

2021
01:09:46,930 --> 01:09:48,850
X saying we are going to stop this

2022
01:09:48,850 --> 01:09:49,189
crime.

2023
01:09:49,490 --> 01:09:51,630
But more recently, just a month ago, he

2024
01:09:51,630 --> 01:09:54,030
replied to this person, this believer in the

2025
01:09:54,030 --> 01:09:56,430
theory, who was pushing for bills in the

2026
01:09:56,430 --> 01:09:58,510
U.S. to ban atmospheric geoengineering.

2027
01:09:58,610 --> 01:10:00,410
And what that is, it is a new

2028
01:10:00,410 --> 01:10:02,210
field of science where science is trying to

2029
01:10:02,210 --> 01:10:06,050
find ways to fight the consequences of fossil

2030
01:10:06,050 --> 01:10:08,330
fuel pollution that we as humans are creating.

2031
01:10:09,170 --> 01:10:12,570
Now, Kennedy essentially said that 24 states are

2032
01:10:12,570 --> 01:10:15,770
moving to ban geoengineering and that the health

2033
01:10:15,770 --> 01:10:17,330
and human services is going to do its

2034
01:10:17,330 --> 01:10:17,710
part.

2035
01:10:17,930 --> 01:10:19,610
Well, what we know about that is that

2036
01:10:19,610 --> 01:10:23,270
Tennessee has already banned the release of airborne

2037
01:10:23,270 --> 01:10:25,630
chemicals in geoengineering, the chemtrails bill.

2038
01:10:26,010 --> 01:10:29,450
Florida is also moving along that bill forward.

2039
01:10:29,610 --> 01:10:32,570
And this February, Alabama is also launched that

2040
01:10:32,570 --> 01:10:32,890
discussion.

2041
01:10:33,030 --> 01:10:34,330
They're having those talks at the moment.

2042
01:10:34,410 --> 01:10:36,370
So we can see the escalation of this

2043
01:10:36,370 --> 01:10:38,730
conspiracy theory throughout all levels of the U

2044
01:10:38,730 --> 01:10:39,210
.S. government.

2045
01:10:39,350 --> 01:10:41,830
And as you said, there's zero scientific basis

2046
01:10:41,830 --> 01:10:42,510
for this, Mark.

2047
01:10:42,610 --> 01:10:44,290
So we will have to see how this

2048
01:10:44,290 --> 01:10:44,830
develops.

2049
01:10:45,450 --> 01:10:47,270
But should U.S. states move to ban

2050
01:10:47,270 --> 01:10:49,210
geoengineering?

2051
01:10:49,510 --> 01:10:50,630
It is in its infancy.

2052
01:10:50,630 --> 01:10:55,110
But this could have problematic consequences for looking

2053
01:10:55,110 --> 01:10:57,370
for ways to fight the climate change and

2054
01:10:57,370 --> 01:10:58,910
the effects of pollution that we as humans

2055
01:10:58,910 --> 01:11:00,090
are causing here on Earth.

2056
01:11:00,290 --> 01:11:03,030
So us dirty humans, we're trying to ban

2057
01:11:03,030 --> 01:11:05,690
chemtrails because we don't like it.

2058
01:11:05,690 --> 01:11:07,270
But that could actually kill us all.

2059
01:11:07,730 --> 01:11:09,790
That's literally what she just did with her

2060
01:11:09,790 --> 01:11:10,650
yak, yak, yak.

2061
01:11:11,410 --> 01:11:12,670
Was she going to kill us all as

2062
01:11:12,670 --> 01:11:14,590
long-winded observations?

2063
01:11:14,930 --> 01:11:17,410
The lady doth protest this too much, methinks.

2064
01:11:20,090 --> 01:11:22,790
Well, I have serious doubts about things being

2065
01:11:22,790 --> 01:11:25,990
put into jet fuel because those engines are

2066
01:11:25,990 --> 01:11:28,910
very expensive and they're sensitive to all kinds

2067
01:11:28,910 --> 01:11:29,270
of things.

2068
01:11:30,130 --> 01:11:32,050
And then whatever the chemical is that goes

2069
01:11:32,050 --> 01:11:35,550
through the burning process would be oxidized and

2070
01:11:35,550 --> 01:11:36,810
screwed up massively.

2071
01:11:37,010 --> 01:11:38,090
I don't know why if you're going to

2072
01:11:38,090 --> 01:11:40,650
start dumping stuff into the sky, you just

2073
01:11:40,650 --> 01:11:41,790
wouldn't use winglets.

2074
01:11:41,830 --> 01:11:43,770
You have a little, like, a little thing

2075
01:11:43,770 --> 01:11:45,010
at the end of the wing and you

2076
01:11:45,010 --> 01:11:48,290
just spew it out like when they did

2077
01:11:48,290 --> 01:11:50,490
cloud seeding back in the 50s, 60s, and

2078
01:11:50,490 --> 01:11:51,430
70s in California.

2079
01:11:51,770 --> 01:11:54,090
They weren't doing it through the engine fuel.

2080
01:11:54,210 --> 01:11:55,790
They were just dumping it in the air.

2081
01:11:55,890 --> 01:11:56,670
Yeah, but it's DARPA.

2082
01:11:56,770 --> 01:11:58,370
They've got to come up with new things.

2083
01:11:58,570 --> 01:11:59,350
This is what they do.

2084
01:11:59,430 --> 01:12:00,370
Oh, I've got a new way to do

2085
01:12:00,370 --> 01:12:00,550
it.

2086
01:12:01,670 --> 01:12:02,550
You can be skeptical.

2087
01:12:02,730 --> 01:12:03,250
That's fine.

2088
01:12:03,650 --> 01:12:04,050
There's more.

2089
01:12:04,210 --> 01:12:05,850
Look, there are more in California than there

2090
01:12:05,850 --> 01:12:07,310
are in Texas, so I'm fine with that.

2091
01:12:07,610 --> 01:12:11,610
Although the 70 percent of chemtrail fanatics, as

2092
01:12:11,610 --> 01:12:15,290
she said, in Fredericksburg are all very upset

2093
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,330
that our Governor Abbott has not followed suit

2094
01:12:18,330 --> 01:12:19,010
with Alabama.

2095
01:12:20,490 --> 01:12:25,050
And Florida and banned this practice, this Alabama.

2096
01:12:26,890 --> 01:12:28,910
She had Obama on her mind, I think.

2097
01:12:29,050 --> 01:12:29,270
Alabama.

2098
01:12:29,950 --> 01:12:31,690
By the way, I do have a, I

2099
01:12:31,690 --> 01:12:33,650
have this, not to change the topic.

2100
01:12:33,950 --> 01:12:34,830
Yeah, you can change the topic.

2101
01:12:35,010 --> 01:12:35,950
I don't mind changing it.

2102
01:12:35,990 --> 01:12:37,170
I've done my chemtrails bit.

2103
01:12:37,230 --> 01:12:40,870
Since you brought Abbott in, where's my Abbott

2104
01:12:40,870 --> 01:12:41,170
clip?

2105
01:12:41,450 --> 01:12:43,590
You have an Abbott clip, Texas voucher.

2106
01:12:44,490 --> 01:12:47,110
Yeah, this is, this is not reported anywhere.

2107
01:12:47,110 --> 01:12:50,410
Governor of Texas has signed a law enabling

2108
01:12:50,410 --> 01:12:53,130
over 5 million U.S. students to be

2109
01:12:53,130 --> 01:12:55,850
provided with state funds to pay for education

2110
01:12:55,850 --> 01:12:56,990
in private schools.

2111
01:12:57,410 --> 01:12:59,510
The scheme, costing a billion dollars in its

2112
01:12:59,510 --> 01:13:01,950
first two years, is being regarded as a

2113
01:13:01,950 --> 01:13:05,170
watershed moment in a conservative campaign to remake

2114
01:13:05,170 --> 01:13:06,870
public education in America.

2115
01:13:07,270 --> 01:13:08,510
David Bamford reports.

2116
01:13:08,990 --> 01:13:12,010
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has called his education

2117
01:13:12,010 --> 01:13:14,970
voucher scheme the culmination of a movement sweeping

2118
01:13:14,970 --> 01:13:18,190
through the U.S. Eligible parents in Texas

2119
01:13:18,190 --> 01:13:20,810
will be offered $10,000 per year to

2120
01:13:20,810 --> 01:13:23,090
opt out of the state education system.

2121
01:13:23,610 --> 01:13:25,670
The scheme, also being rolled out in other

2122
01:13:25,670 --> 01:13:29,090
Republican states, has been strongly supported by President

2123
01:13:29,090 --> 01:13:32,890
Trump, who accuses public schools of indoctrinating children

2124
01:13:32,890 --> 01:13:34,290
with liberal ideology.

2125
01:13:34,830 --> 01:13:38,510
But Democrats, and some rural Republicans, argue it

2126
01:13:38,510 --> 01:13:42,210
diverts resources away from already underfunded public schools.

2127
01:13:42,490 --> 01:13:48,570
Yeah, this session that the Texas Congress is

2128
01:13:48,570 --> 01:13:50,930
going through right now, there's a lot of

2129
01:13:50,930 --> 01:13:52,990
really amazing bills.

2130
01:13:53,510 --> 01:13:55,290
SB 13 is one of them.

2131
01:13:55,910 --> 01:14:00,330
And that will ban, completely ban, outlaw books,

2132
01:14:00,530 --> 01:14:04,950
certain books, in schools, libraries, class, anywhere.

2133
01:14:05,090 --> 01:14:06,290
And we know what books they are.

2134
01:14:07,190 --> 01:14:07,350
Yeah.

2135
01:14:07,770 --> 01:14:09,570
And I think it's going to pass.

2136
01:14:09,970 --> 01:14:12,170
Everyone's, you know, it already passed the House.

2137
01:14:12,730 --> 01:14:14,990
This voucher thing is getting no press.

2138
01:14:15,610 --> 01:14:17,690
This is from the BBC World Service.

2139
01:14:17,790 --> 01:14:18,970
That's where I got the story.

2140
01:14:19,770 --> 01:14:21,210
And it's a big deal.

2141
01:14:21,390 --> 01:14:23,550
It's a huge deal, because this is what

2142
01:14:23,550 --> 01:14:26,030
the Republicans have been trying to do since

2143
01:14:26,030 --> 01:14:27,330
the 60s.

2144
01:14:27,650 --> 01:14:27,750
Yeah.

2145
01:14:28,750 --> 01:14:29,790
Yeah, go figure.

2146
01:14:31,110 --> 01:14:33,130
Oh, my God, they're starting to accomplish it.

2147
01:14:33,230 --> 01:14:34,810
Let's don't report on it and even give

2148
01:14:34,810 --> 01:14:36,090
anyone any ideas.

2149
01:14:36,590 --> 01:14:39,450
And we say, well, OK, finally we can

2150
01:14:39,450 --> 01:14:40,250
homeschool.

2151
01:14:40,390 --> 01:14:42,430
But you're killing us with the chemtrails, Abbott.

2152
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:46,680
Chemtrails.

2153
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:47,460
Where's the jingle?

2154
01:14:47,620 --> 01:14:48,040
Where's the jingle?

2155
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:49,720
Chemtrails.

2156
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:51,240
I knew it.

2157
01:14:51,480 --> 01:14:52,000
Of course.

2158
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,140
Here's the funny story of the week.

2159
01:14:54,300 --> 01:14:56,820
I just, I have some thematic stories, but

2160
01:14:56,820 --> 01:14:57,800
I want to play a couple of these

2161
01:14:57,800 --> 01:14:59,120
standalones.

2162
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,840
This is the funniest story of the week.

2163
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:02,320
Trump.

2164
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:05,160
Somebody asked Trump.

2165
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:07,140
Oh, is this about the picture?

2166
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:07,940
Yeah.

2167
01:15:08,220 --> 01:15:11,360
Somebody asked Trump about being the pope on

2168
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:12,360
the White House lawn.

2169
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:13,320
And he says, yeah, I think.

2170
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:14,700
Who do you think is going to be

2171
01:15:14,700 --> 01:15:14,880
the pope?

2172
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:16,600
Would you like to be the pope?

2173
01:15:16,660 --> 01:15:17,880
Yeah, I think I'll be the pope.

2174
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:20,240
He just casually said it as a joke.

2175
01:15:20,540 --> 01:15:22,480
So somebody either Photoshop.

2176
01:15:22,700 --> 01:15:24,180
They like to say it's AI, but it

2177
01:15:24,180 --> 01:15:25,520
looks more like Photoshop to me.

2178
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:27,940
Photoshop Trump in a pope outfit.

2179
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:29,780
And then they posted it.

2180
01:15:29,860 --> 01:15:32,800
And then Trump, the White House reposted it.

2181
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,060
Oh, now it's a big scandal on NPR

2182
01:15:36,060 --> 01:15:36,720
and PBS.

2183
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:39,680
And critics are speaking out about an artificial

2184
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:43,600
intelligence generated image that President Trump posted last

2185
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:45,340
night to his social media platform.

2186
01:15:45,580 --> 01:15:48,340
It shows him seated, dressed as the pope.

2187
01:15:48,660 --> 01:15:51,280
Later, it was reposted on the official White

2188
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:52,240
House account on X.

2189
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:54,220
In a post of their own, the Catholic

2190
01:15:54,220 --> 01:15:56,640
bishops of New York State said, there is

2191
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,240
nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr.

2192
01:15:59,340 --> 01:15:59,640
President.

2193
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,880
We just buried our beloved Pope Francis, and

2194
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:04,840
the Cardinals are about to enter a solemn

2195
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,900
conclave to elect a new successor of St.

2196
01:16:07,980 --> 01:16:08,180
Peter.

2197
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:09,960
Do not mock us.

2198
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:11,680
Oh, that's a tough one.

2199
01:16:12,420 --> 01:16:13,640
So I got a lot of e-mails

2200
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,500
about this, because I am the resident religiosity

2201
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:18,380
scholar all of a sudden.

2202
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:25,200
And from Finland, our producer, Sir Wunderhelm, who

2203
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,420
was overboard and he came back and he

2204
01:16:27,420 --> 01:16:28,140
sends me this.

2205
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:29,840
He says, what is this?

2206
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,440
This is not okay.

2207
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,200
Is this supposed to be funny?

2208
01:16:34,860 --> 01:16:38,180
And I said, you know, we are strange

2209
01:16:38,180 --> 01:16:38,760
in America.

2210
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:40,840
But yeah, this is American humor.

2211
01:16:41,660 --> 01:16:43,120
And you don't have to.

2212
01:16:43,140 --> 01:16:43,940
It is funny.

2213
01:16:44,140 --> 01:16:45,160
You don't have to get it.

2214
01:16:45,220 --> 01:16:46,220
It's American humor.

2215
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:47,960
But then I also got ones like this.

2216
01:16:48,260 --> 01:16:51,940
Like, let's see.

2217
01:16:52,020 --> 01:16:52,740
What is it here?

2218
01:16:53,620 --> 01:16:55,500
This has to do with the Knights Templar

2219
01:16:55,500 --> 01:16:57,880
and the Jesuits and Catholic infestation.

2220
01:16:58,280 --> 01:16:59,720
The black Pope runs.

2221
01:17:03,620 --> 01:17:05,980
Yes, it's just a joke.

2222
01:17:06,820 --> 01:17:09,120
I mean, that timing may be a little,

2223
01:17:09,440 --> 01:17:09,880
a little.

2224
01:17:09,940 --> 01:17:12,000
I don't even care about the timing.

2225
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:15,320
But people get so bent out of shape

2226
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:16,340
about it.

2227
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,160
You know, Mark, Void Zero didn't say, oh,

2228
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:20,400
I'm outraged about this.

2229
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,960
If Void Zero said something, we'd say, okay,

2230
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:23,620
well, maybe.

2231
01:17:23,820 --> 01:17:24,040
Yeah.

2232
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:25,320
He didn't say anything.

2233
01:17:26,020 --> 01:17:27,680
And he's a Catholic's Catholic.

2234
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:29,400
He's the traditionalist.

2235
01:17:29,460 --> 01:17:31,260
He's like the old, he's like the guys

2236
01:17:31,260 --> 01:17:32,620
at the FBI we investigate.

2237
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:34,900
Who says they aren't?

2238
01:17:35,620 --> 01:17:37,640
Maybe they are, but they never find his

2239
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:37,920
house.

2240
01:17:38,260 --> 01:17:41,160
But the point is, is that it's like,

2241
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:41,580
no.

2242
01:17:42,460 --> 01:17:43,260
Give me a break.

2243
01:17:43,340 --> 01:17:44,180
This is classic.

2244
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:46,240
Trump does one thing.

2245
01:17:46,340 --> 01:17:47,100
There's another thing.

2246
01:17:47,260 --> 01:17:48,920
He had to actually come out and say

2247
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:50,760
he's not running in 2028 in one of

2248
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:52,620
the morning shows this morning.

2249
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,200
People are so upset about him saying he's

2250
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:56,660
going to run for 2028.

2251
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:58,700
Yeah, he never said it, by the way.

2252
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,040
He has never said he's going to run.

2253
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:00,540
He just has a hat.

2254
01:18:00,620 --> 01:18:01,340
He's got a hat.

2255
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:03,100
He has a hat and the hat is

2256
01:18:03,100 --> 01:18:03,460
funny.

2257
01:18:03,620 --> 01:18:05,840
And it's Bannon who's been pushing it more

2258
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:06,140
than anything.

2259
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:08,000
I should still go back and get those

2260
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:08,960
clips of Bannon on.

2261
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:10,300
We need one of those hats is what

2262
01:18:10,300 --> 01:18:10,820
we need.

2263
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:12,080
I mean, those are collectibles.

2264
01:18:13,180 --> 01:18:14,460
Now that you mention it.

2265
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:15,660
Yeah, it's a collectible, baby.

2266
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,240
And I have, I usually, I'm usually on

2267
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:19,680
the lookout for such things.

2268
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:20,120
Yes.

2269
01:18:20,660 --> 01:18:22,900
Well, I'm sure some of our producers out

2270
01:18:22,900 --> 01:18:24,560
there, you know, the thing is that one

2271
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,120
of our producers can send us each one

2272
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:27,540
of those hats if they can find them.

2273
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:29,720
But, you know, I forgot to, I was

2274
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,720
very remiss because I hounded the Ohio State

2275
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:36,320
folks for all these sweatshirts, which I ended

2276
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:37,160
up with a bunch of them.

2277
01:18:37,620 --> 01:18:40,740
But I never hounded the Florida people because

2278
01:18:40,740 --> 01:18:43,360
they won the basketball championship, which I had

2279
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,300
predicted, by the way, way in advance that

2280
01:18:45,300 --> 01:18:45,760
they would.

2281
01:18:46,020 --> 01:18:46,120
Yeah.

2282
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:47,220
You should have done it on the show.

2283
01:18:47,340 --> 01:18:50,940
I did on Horowitz's and I should have

2284
01:18:50,940 --> 01:18:53,780
gotten as I like a zippered hoodie that

2285
01:18:53,780 --> 01:18:54,500
says Florida.

2286
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:57,600
I don't have any Florida gear at all.

2287
01:18:59,220 --> 01:19:00,940
And I think having a floor, especially in

2288
01:19:00,940 --> 01:19:04,420
California, having a Florida hoodie or sweatshirt sweatshirt

2289
01:19:04,420 --> 01:19:04,840
is nice.

2290
01:19:05,020 --> 01:19:05,200
Good.

2291
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:07,120
I want to I want to stay with

2292
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:08,740
the pope for a second because first I

2293
01:19:08,740 --> 01:19:09,140
got this.

2294
01:19:09,340 --> 01:19:10,280
No, I just had to get that in.

2295
01:19:10,380 --> 01:19:10,760
I'm sorry.

2296
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:12,120
They're going to send it to you.

2297
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:13,080
Don't worry, you'll get it.

2298
01:19:13,380 --> 01:19:13,980
I'm hoping.

2299
01:19:14,420 --> 01:19:15,880
So first it was gateway pundits.

2300
01:19:16,340 --> 01:19:20,620
I'm like, OK, headline Francis Macron reportedly meddling

2301
01:19:20,620 --> 01:19:22,900
in the choosing of the next pope is

2302
01:19:22,900 --> 01:19:26,440
terrified that conservative Robert Sarra may sit on

2303
01:19:26,440 --> 01:19:27,740
St. Peter's throne.

2304
01:19:28,660 --> 01:19:29,000
Really?

2305
01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:29,560
Yeah.

2306
01:19:29,620 --> 01:19:32,460
And I'm like, OK, but then an article

2307
01:19:32,460 --> 01:19:34,780
came through from Euronews.

2308
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:39,240
Is Francis Emmanuel Macron trying to influence who

2309
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:40,580
gets picked as the next pope?

2310
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:42,200
And apparently he is.

2311
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:45,700
The Italian press is like, hey, what are

2312
01:19:45,700 --> 01:19:46,240
you doing?

2313
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:48,700
He had a meeting at the French embassy

2314
01:19:48,700 --> 01:19:49,520
in Rome.

2315
01:19:50,300 --> 01:19:51,800
You know, he's talking to bishops.

2316
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:53,760
Are they in the conclave yet?

2317
01:19:53,820 --> 01:19:55,500
I think they're doing the meetings.

2318
01:19:55,740 --> 01:19:56,560
I think it's starting.

2319
01:19:56,780 --> 01:19:58,680
Yeah, it's cardinals, not bishops.

2320
01:19:59,240 --> 01:19:59,840
What did I say?

2321
01:19:59,920 --> 01:20:00,240
Bishops?

2322
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:01,060
Yeah.

2323
01:20:01,480 --> 01:20:02,120
Cardinals.

2324
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:05,080
Preparations for next week's papal conclave are underway

2325
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:07,860
as cardinals gather for prayer and reflection at

2326
01:20:07,860 --> 01:20:08,240
the Vatican.

2327
01:20:08,580 --> 01:20:11,440
Nearly all 133 voting cardinals have arrived in

2328
01:20:11,440 --> 01:20:12,820
Rome ahead of Wednesday's vote.

2329
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:14,540
Ten of the cardinals are American.

2330
01:20:15,100 --> 01:20:17,720
108 were appointed by Pope Francis himself.

2331
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:19,980
And inside the chapel, they'll vote up to

2332
01:20:19,980 --> 01:20:22,180
four times a day until a two-thirds

2333
01:20:22,180 --> 01:20:23,340
majority is reached.

2334
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,700
The ceremonial chimney was installed yesterday where voting

2335
01:20:26,700 --> 01:20:28,060
ballots will be burned.

2336
01:20:28,060 --> 01:20:30,260
What the church needs most at this time

2337
01:20:30,260 --> 01:20:34,020
is to continue the mission that it received

2338
01:20:34,020 --> 01:20:38,440
from Christ in response to the challenges and

2339
01:20:38,440 --> 01:20:42,080
the needs, the difficulties and the opportunities of

2340
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,760
our time, namely from now on.

2341
01:20:45,500 --> 01:20:47,460
And some things to watch for when those

2342
01:20:47,460 --> 01:20:48,840
voting ballots are burned.

2343
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:51,120
If you see black smoke, that signals no

2344
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:52,200
decision was made.

2345
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:54,600
And if the smoke is white, that will

2346
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:56,420
announce the selection of a new pope.

2347
01:20:56,420 --> 01:20:59,880
So, yeah, the story on Euronews is similar,

2348
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:01,960
saying he's afraid that we're going to get

2349
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:04,220
a pope who, you know, doesn't like, I

2350
01:21:04,220 --> 01:21:05,240
don't know, trans stuff.

2351
01:21:05,740 --> 01:21:08,920
He doesn't like men marrying men.

2352
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:10,380
Yeah, he's got a problem with that.

2353
01:21:10,380 --> 01:21:11,440
That looks like women.

2354
01:21:11,740 --> 01:21:13,360
Yeah, he's got a problem with it.

2355
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:15,580
Not even a prerequisite, actually.

2356
01:21:16,540 --> 01:21:17,080
Well, you're right.

2357
01:21:17,180 --> 01:21:19,940
In Macron's case, it's not a prerequisite because

2358
01:21:19,940 --> 01:21:21,800
his wife doesn't look like a woman.

2359
01:21:22,060 --> 01:21:23,260
He's married to a dude.

2360
01:21:23,260 --> 01:21:24,320
He looks more like a guy.

2361
01:21:24,540 --> 01:21:26,920
And in Italy, they've got psyops all over

2362
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:30,000
the place, including a game for the kids.

2363
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:34,220
An online game by the name Fantapapa has

2364
01:21:34,220 --> 01:21:36,720
been created to predict who will be the

2365
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:37,400
next pope.

2366
01:21:37,660 --> 01:21:39,220
The app has 11 cardinals.

2367
01:21:40,220 --> 01:21:42,500
60,000 users of this game who will

2368
01:21:42,500 --> 01:21:43,400
predict the next pope.

2369
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:45,120
Who will be the next pope.

2370
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:48,000
The app has 11 cardinals who are poised

2371
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:49,820
to become the next leader.

2372
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,340
And by the way, my guy, not one

2373
01:21:52,340 --> 01:21:53,480
of the 11 in the game.

2374
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,620
Users have the ability to predict who will

2375
01:21:55,620 --> 01:21:57,440
partake in the next point of role.

2376
01:21:57,700 --> 01:21:59,880
The site, which was created in February when

2377
01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:03,500
Francis was hospitalized, has more than 60,000

2378
01:22:03,500 --> 01:22:04,460
registered users.

2379
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:06,740
I believe this game is a really fun

2380
01:22:06,740 --> 01:22:09,220
game to play with friends and have a

2381
01:22:09,220 --> 01:22:09,520
laugh.

2382
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,440
Initially, my dad sent it to me ironically.

2383
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:14,900
But now that it's going to be the

2384
01:22:14,900 --> 01:22:17,260
conclave, I decided to have a go and

2385
01:22:17,260 --> 01:22:18,200
try it.

2386
01:22:18,420 --> 01:22:20,660
And I noticed it has so many features

2387
01:22:20,660 --> 01:22:22,240
and different things you can choose.

2388
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:25,240
So I decided to...

2389
01:22:26,140 --> 01:22:27,640
What kind of a game is this?

2390
01:22:28,140 --> 01:22:30,020
It's closer to the pin.

2391
01:22:30,260 --> 01:22:30,900
No, no, no.

2392
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:32,840
It's like football teams.

2393
01:22:32,940 --> 01:22:36,860
And I decided to put Tagli as my

2394
01:22:36,860 --> 01:22:39,720
captain, as my main candidate to become pope

2395
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,600
because he looks like a nice guy and

2396
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:43,640
a fun person.

2397
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:44,940
He's a fun guy.

2398
01:22:45,620 --> 01:22:47,580
The users have the ability to select a

2399
01:22:47,580 --> 01:22:48,620
team just like soccer.

2400
01:22:48,900 --> 01:22:50,940
They think have the best chance to become

2401
01:22:50,940 --> 01:22:51,540
the next pope.

2402
01:22:51,540 --> 01:22:54,320
The app has attracted thousands of youths.

2403
01:22:54,380 --> 01:22:56,920
They choose the top contenders or captains.

2404
01:22:57,180 --> 01:22:59,780
So far, players' top choices have been France's

2405
01:22:59,780 --> 01:23:03,520
Secretary of State, Italian Cardinal Pietro Perolin, closely

2406
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:07,060
followed by Matteo Maria Zuppi, Archbishop of Bologna.

2407
01:23:07,580 --> 01:23:09,200
Yeah, my guy's not in there.

2408
01:23:09,440 --> 01:23:10,260
He's not in the game.

2409
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:11,360
He's not in the game.

2410
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:15,400
Your guy is the best idea, by the

2411
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:15,600
way.

2412
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:17,940
But I had to go back and just

2413
01:23:17,940 --> 01:23:19,080
reflect on this.

2414
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:22,500
Trump dresses the pope and the left being

2415
01:23:22,500 --> 01:23:24,640
outraged by it, and especially PBS getting all

2416
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:25,520
bent out of shape.

2417
01:23:25,780 --> 01:23:31,920
The gay community dresses as nuns constantly.

2418
01:23:32,100 --> 01:23:34,660
Men dress as nuns, and they go around

2419
01:23:34,660 --> 01:23:38,640
ridiculing the Catholic Church constantly, and nobody says

2420
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:39,640
crap about it.

2421
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:43,000
That is a very good point.

2422
01:23:46,940 --> 01:23:49,060
I think you're spot-on.

2423
01:23:49,820 --> 01:23:50,700
That's right.

2424
01:23:51,820 --> 01:23:56,680
It's a story hour with a drag queen

2425
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,320
story hour in nuns' outfits.

2426
01:23:58,420 --> 01:23:58,820
You're right.

2427
01:23:59,820 --> 01:24:02,020
You are spot-on, as usual.

2428
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:03,780
I'm glad...

2429
01:24:04,420 --> 01:24:05,020
Well...

2430
01:24:05,020 --> 01:24:05,640
As usual.

2431
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:06,100
As usual.

2432
01:24:06,860 --> 01:24:07,460
I'm glad you went back.

2433
01:24:07,460 --> 01:24:09,480
I wasn't as spot-on as I could

2434
01:24:09,480 --> 01:24:10,380
have been with my timing.

2435
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:11,880
Another short clip.

2436
01:24:13,100 --> 01:24:17,480
Just for educational purposes, I don't know what's

2437
01:24:17,480 --> 01:24:18,520
going on with this one.

2438
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:23,400
Eric Adams is allowing the call to prayer

2439
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,320
in Manhattan.

2440
01:24:25,940 --> 01:24:28,360
A historic step here in New York City

2441
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:30,300
in support of the Muslim community.

2442
01:24:30,420 --> 01:24:32,360
Mayor Adams announced new guidelines clearing the way

2443
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:34,160
for the Muslim call to prayer to bring

2444
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:34,700
out freely.

2445
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:37,980
For too long, there has been confusion about

2446
01:24:37,980 --> 01:24:41,700
which communities allow to amplify their calls to

2447
01:24:41,700 --> 01:24:42,020
prayer.

2448
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:43,360
Amplify?

2449
01:24:43,460 --> 01:24:43,980
To what?

2450
01:24:44,980 --> 01:24:45,580
Amplify.

2451
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:46,280
Oh, amplify.

2452
01:24:46,480 --> 01:24:50,240
Confusion about which communities allow to amplify their

2453
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:51,100
calls to prayer.

2454
01:24:51,340 --> 01:24:55,060
Today, we are cutting red tape and saying

2455
01:24:55,060 --> 01:24:57,460
clearly, if you are a mosque or a

2456
01:24:57,460 --> 01:25:00,680
house of worship of any kind, you do

2457
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:03,060
not have to apply for a permit to

2458
01:25:03,060 --> 01:25:06,320
amplify your call to Friday prayer.

2459
01:25:06,700 --> 01:25:09,200
Yeah, I've seen videos of these guys walking

2460
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,360
down the street with a big boom box

2461
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:13,360
and a wireless mic.

2462
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,000
I have some thoughts on this.

2463
01:25:18,140 --> 01:25:18,920
Yeah, go.

2464
01:25:19,480 --> 01:25:21,580
One, if you've been in the Middle East

2465
01:25:21,580 --> 01:25:23,620
at all, I've been a couple of times,

2466
01:25:24,300 --> 01:25:26,920
the call for prayer thing is not on

2467
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:27,400
Fridays.

2468
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,300
It's six times a day all the time.

2469
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:31,680
Yes.

2470
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,740
And it's actually quite pleasant if you're a

2471
01:25:34,740 --> 01:25:35,140
tourist.

2472
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:37,640
If you don't live next to it.

2473
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,080
But if you're not living there, because there's

2474
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:41,640
something romantic about it.

2475
01:25:41,780 --> 01:25:43,380
It's just, and it's a very, it's a

2476
01:25:43,380 --> 01:25:47,360
nice, especially when you have some of these

2477
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:53,640
Muslim preachers, whether they're Kamulas, who can sing,

2478
01:25:53,820 --> 01:25:55,460
and they can sing in Arabic, and it's

2479
01:25:55,460 --> 01:25:58,120
very, it's just a great sound, but very

2480
01:25:58,120 --> 01:25:59,380
few people can do it well.

2481
01:25:59,980 --> 01:26:02,680
But it's all the time, and they have

2482
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:04,500
amplifiers, and it's very loud.

2483
01:26:04,580 --> 01:26:07,540
And this contradicts something that I was given

2484
01:26:07,540 --> 01:26:09,340
a lecture, I think it was in Dubai

2485
01:26:09,340 --> 01:26:11,340
at the time, by a British guy who

2486
01:26:11,340 --> 01:26:14,760
said the Muslims, especially the Middle East Muslims,

2487
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:16,540
we're not talking about the ones in Indonesia,

2488
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:18,920
which I never heard this going on there,

2489
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,440
but they have this big thing about, oh,

2490
01:26:22,500 --> 01:26:24,040
you can't do this, you can't do anything

2491
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:25,820
that's pre-Muhammad.

2492
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:27,440
If it's not in the Quran, you can't,

2493
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,760
so words for computer have to be manufactured.

2494
01:26:31,020 --> 01:26:32,480
They can't be, they have to be made

2495
01:26:32,480 --> 01:26:32,920
out of words.

2496
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:34,520
Everything has to be old-fashioned.

2497
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:38,620
But yet, they can use amplifiers, and they've

2498
01:26:38,620 --> 01:26:41,500
got these huge speakers, and the giant 10

2499
01:26:41,500 --> 01:26:43,560
,000 watt amps, that's okay?

2500
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:44,640
How does that work?

2501
01:26:45,340 --> 01:26:47,300
Some Muslim can explain that one to me.

2502
01:26:47,380 --> 01:26:49,720
When I was in Iraq, or as some

2503
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,960
would say, Iraq, and I hope I have

2504
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:56,080
this, I'd have to dig deep into the

2505
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:56,600
archives.

2506
01:26:58,000 --> 01:26:59,280
That was 2003.

2507
01:26:59,500 --> 01:27:03,000
I acquired an alarm clock, and I think

2508
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:04,460
it came out of, I think it was

2509
01:27:04,460 --> 01:27:05,880
made in Pakistan.

2510
01:27:06,440 --> 01:27:07,720
Plastic alarm clock.

2511
01:27:08,260 --> 01:27:10,500
And six times a day, this clock would

2512
01:27:10,500 --> 01:27:12,060
do the call to prayer.

2513
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,060
Gosh, I hope I have that somewhere still.

2514
01:27:15,100 --> 01:27:16,560
Well, that's a great item.

2515
01:27:16,780 --> 01:27:17,040
Yeah.

2516
01:27:17,220 --> 01:27:19,280
It was one of those things you pick

2517
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:20,240
up on your travels.

2518
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:22,680
Donate to No Agenda.

2519
01:27:23,300 --> 01:27:25,940
They give us shows week after week.

2520
01:27:26,420 --> 01:27:28,540
Donate to No Agenda.

2521
01:27:29,180 --> 01:27:31,320
It's a show that's really unique.

2522
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:34,160
Donate to No Agenda.

2523
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:37,360
Listen to John and Adam speak.

2524
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:40,100
Donate to No Agenda.

2525
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,040
Science is turning into a clique.

2526
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:45,420
So, let's amplify that in New York.

2527
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:48,600
Yeah, for the Church of No Agenda.

2528
01:27:49,820 --> 01:27:50,660
I'm all for it.

2529
01:27:51,900 --> 01:27:53,900
Well, the people in Amsterdam and Rotterdam are

2530
01:27:53,900 --> 01:27:57,580
not happy because this is also allowed, this

2531
01:27:57,580 --> 01:27:59,600
amplification of call to prayer.

2532
01:28:00,260 --> 01:28:04,100
And it's not the culture of the Netherlands.

2533
01:28:04,260 --> 01:28:04,880
Or wasn't.

2534
01:28:04,940 --> 01:28:06,560
I think it probably is becoming that.

2535
01:28:06,780 --> 01:28:08,440
And people are annoyed by it.

2536
01:28:08,780 --> 01:28:11,620
Just like they're annoyed by incessant church bells,

2537
01:28:11,940 --> 01:28:13,040
I might point out.

2538
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:14,960
Yeah, there was a lot of complaining about

2539
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:17,200
church bells in some areas.

2540
01:28:17,380 --> 01:28:18,900
Most of the time I've run it when

2541
01:28:18,900 --> 01:28:19,900
there's churches around.

2542
01:28:20,020 --> 01:28:21,180
It's only been on a Sunday.

2543
01:28:22,180 --> 01:28:23,640
And they'll ring the bells.

2544
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:29,000
And University of California has the Campanile and

2545
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:33,140
they used to play songs at noon, various

2546
01:28:33,140 --> 01:28:33,700
tunes.

2547
01:28:34,540 --> 01:28:36,180
I think they stopped even doing that.

2548
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:37,280
I don't know if they do it anymore.

2549
01:28:38,340 --> 01:28:40,580
But they had enough bells up there they

2550
01:28:40,580 --> 01:28:44,880
could play various recognizable songs.

2551
01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:48,620
Like what?

2552
01:28:49,180 --> 01:28:50,820
What recognizable songs?

2553
01:28:51,220 --> 01:28:53,380
Well, jingle bells would be during the wintertime.

2554
01:28:53,420 --> 01:28:54,520
They could play that easy.

2555
01:28:54,700 --> 01:28:55,280
Did they?

2556
01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:56,400
Yeah.

2557
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:59,020
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

2558
01:28:59,620 --> 01:29:00,180
Yeah, yeah.

2559
01:29:00,440 --> 01:29:01,500
I see you have a series.

2560
01:29:01,580 --> 01:29:02,740
I'm going to lead you into it with

2561
01:29:02,740 --> 01:29:03,740
two very short clips.

2562
01:29:03,860 --> 01:29:05,200
We start off with breaking news.

2563
01:29:05,440 --> 01:29:06,280
A major scare.

2564
01:29:06,420 --> 01:29:07,440
Everybody be afraid.

2565
01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:08,020
Be afraid.

2566
01:29:08,140 --> 01:29:08,840
It's very dangerous.

2567
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:09,560
Breaking news.

2568
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:12,060
Tonight from Chicago, health officials are warning travelers

2569
01:29:12,060 --> 01:29:15,080
about possible measles exposure at Chicago's O'Hare

2570
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:15,480
Airport.

2571
01:29:15,860 --> 01:29:17,900
They say an infected adult was in Terminal

2572
01:29:17,900 --> 01:29:19,920
1 from 10 a.m. until 8 p

2573
01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:20,580
.m. on Tuesday.

2574
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:22,520
And then again on Wednesday of last week,

2575
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:24,740
that person who lives in Cook County testing

2576
01:29:24,740 --> 01:29:25,700
positive for measles.

2577
01:29:25,700 --> 01:29:26,820
Two days later.

2578
01:29:27,260 --> 01:29:28,400
This is crazy.

2579
01:29:29,060 --> 01:29:30,580
This is crazy.

2580
01:29:32,180 --> 01:29:33,820
Important medical information.

2581
01:29:34,460 --> 01:29:37,560
He was in the airport on Sunday and

2582
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:37,860
then again Wednesday.

2583
01:29:37,860 --> 01:29:39,160
Let's get track him down and shoot him.

2584
01:29:39,180 --> 01:29:40,540
Shoot him, yes, shoot him.

2585
01:29:40,620 --> 01:29:42,060
Now to alarming health news.

2586
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:42,580
Alarming.

2587
01:29:42,860 --> 01:29:45,920
The CDC reports that 216 children have died

2588
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:48,000
from the flu in the US this season.

2589
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:50,280
The highest number in 15 years.

2590
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:53,640
Experts link the increase to falling vaccination rates

2591
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:54,440
among kids.

2592
01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:57,740
Down from 64% five years ago to

2593
01:29:57,740 --> 01:29:59,580
49% this season.

2594
01:30:00,180 --> 01:30:02,500
And with flu season still ongoing, that number

2595
01:30:02,500 --> 01:30:03,400
could climb.

2596
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:07,460
60,000 people a year die from flu.

2597
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:09,260
Yeah, that's what they say.

2598
01:30:09,540 --> 01:30:09,800
60,000.

2599
01:30:10,460 --> 01:30:11,440
That number is questionable.

2600
01:30:11,820 --> 01:30:13,800
But since you brought that up, I do

2601
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,160
have a series of clips from PBS about

2602
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:19,420
the flu vaccine and how important it is.

2603
01:30:19,580 --> 01:30:23,900
And I want you to guess who the

2604
01:30:23,900 --> 01:30:25,200
guests are going to have.

2605
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:28,480
They're going to talk to on PBS, you

2606
01:30:28,480 --> 01:30:31,000
know, this fabulous product that the government helps

2607
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:31,620
pay for.

2608
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:31,920
Oh, okay.

2609
01:30:32,300 --> 01:30:35,440
What stooge, I hate to use the word,

2610
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:39,220
what stooge bullshit artist, the guy's the worst,

2611
01:30:39,420 --> 01:30:41,520
worst of the worst, do you think they're

2612
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:43,780
going to bring on to talk about vaccinations?

2613
01:30:43,940 --> 01:30:45,880
Well, I have a couple of candidates.

2614
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:48,820
Without a doubt, I would put HOTEP at

2615
01:30:48,820 --> 01:30:49,700
the top of the list.

2616
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:49,860
Boom.

2617
01:30:50,140 --> 01:30:53,200
There were 12 seasonal flu related deaths of

2618
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:54,140
children this week.

2619
01:30:54,500 --> 01:30:56,920
According to the CDC, that brings the total

2620
01:30:56,920 --> 01:30:59,440
number of pediatric flu deaths this season to

2621
01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:00,620
216.

2622
01:31:00,940 --> 01:31:02,800
That's the most in 15 years.

2623
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:04,940
And the flu season isn't even over yet.

2624
01:31:05,340 --> 01:31:08,880
I'm detecting a pattern here that the the

2625
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:12,640
big pharma complex has injected into our news,

2626
01:31:12,740 --> 01:31:14,860
into our independent newsrooms.

2627
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:17,320
Experts say one reason for this new record

2628
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:19,920
could be the plummeting flu vaccination rate for

2629
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:20,680
American children.

2630
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,680
It went from 64% five years ago

2631
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:23,860
to 11% this year.

2632
01:31:26,140 --> 01:31:28,320
Wait a minute, was that the same amount

2633
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:29,340
they said on the other clip?

2634
01:31:31,550 --> 01:31:32,130
That doesn't sound right.

2635
01:31:32,130 --> 01:31:34,670
I remember having a- Yeah, yeah, yeah,

2636
01:31:34,670 --> 01:31:34,770
yeah.

2637
01:31:34,770 --> 01:31:35,550
Specific amount.

2638
01:31:35,550 --> 01:31:36,050
I want to hear it.

2639
01:31:36,050 --> 01:31:36,150
I want to hear the numbers.

2640
01:31:36,150 --> 01:31:37,450
Now to alarming health news.

2641
01:31:37,610 --> 01:31:40,830
The CDC reports that 216 children- 216.

2642
01:31:40,830 --> 01:31:42,670
Have died from the flu in the US

2643
01:31:42,670 --> 01:31:43,390
this season.

2644
01:31:43,870 --> 01:31:45,670
The highest number in 15 years.

2645
01:31:46,070 --> 01:31:49,090
Experts link the increase to falling vaccination rates

2646
01:31:49,090 --> 01:31:52,470
among kids, down from 64% five years

2647
01:31:52,470 --> 01:31:54,970
ago to 49% this season.

2648
01:31:55,030 --> 01:31:55,130
Yeah.

2649
01:31:55,210 --> 01:31:55,370
Yeah.

2650
01:32:03,050 --> 01:32:04,750
Yeah.

2651
01:32:04,970 --> 01:32:06,530
Yeah.

2652
01:32:06,830 --> 01:32:07,190
Yeah.

2653
01:32:07,990 --> 01:32:09,690
Yeah.

2654
01:32:09,690 --> 01:32:10,470
Yeah.

2655
01:32:11,410 --> 01:32:11,750
Yeah.

2656
01:32:11,750 --> 01:32:11,950
Yeah.

2657
01:32:11,950 --> 01:32:12,230
Yeah.

2658
01:32:13,150 --> 01:32:14,630
Yeah.

2659
01:32:19,290 --> 01:32:20,990
Yeah.

2660
01:32:21,090 --> 01:32:21,390
Yeah.

2661
01:32:22,590 --> 01:32:23,530
Yeah.

2662
01:32:24,850 --> 01:32:25,350
Yeah.

2663
01:32:28,590 --> 01:32:31,310
Yeah.

2664
01:32:33,710 --> 01:32:36,430
Yeah.

2665
01:32:36,430 --> 01:32:39,150
Yeah.

2666
01:32:47,690 --> 01:32:47,970
Yeah.

2667
01:32:49,550 --> 01:32:49,870
Yeah.

2668
01:32:55,330 --> 01:32:57,530
for pediatric flu deaths this season.

2669
01:32:57,830 --> 01:32:58,970
What do you make of that?

2670
01:32:59,330 --> 01:33:01,130
Well, I think it probably is related to

2671
01:33:01,130 --> 01:33:05,070
the decline in immunization since most pediatric influenza

2672
01:33:05,070 --> 01:33:08,170
deaths occur among the unvaccinated, like most of

2673
01:33:08,170 --> 01:33:11,410
the other viral infections that we've been seeing.

2674
01:33:11,630 --> 01:33:14,050
But remember the context of this, this is

2675
01:33:14,050 --> 01:33:17,570
on top of fourfold rise in measles outbreaks

2676
01:33:17,570 --> 01:33:20,230
over the last year, even before what was

2677
01:33:20,230 --> 01:33:23,530
going on with this current major epidemic, a

2678
01:33:23,530 --> 01:33:26,130
sixfold rise in pertussis cases.

2679
01:33:27,530 --> 01:33:29,490
Okay, got it.

2680
01:33:29,590 --> 01:33:32,290
So he goes, yeah, so everything is because

2681
01:33:32,290 --> 01:33:32,970
of vaccination.

2682
01:33:33,110 --> 01:33:35,910
Of course, this guy who they mentioned, well,

2683
01:33:36,050 --> 01:33:37,590
play the second, just play it, play on.

2684
01:33:37,830 --> 01:33:40,270
The big picture is we're going in the

2685
01:33:40,270 --> 01:33:43,190
wrong direction in terms of children not getting

2686
01:33:43,190 --> 01:33:44,870
the vaccines that they should be getting.

2687
01:33:45,150 --> 01:33:48,230
Is this a holdover from the vaccination hesitancy

2688
01:33:48,230 --> 01:33:50,390
that emerged during the COVID pandemic?

2689
01:33:50,810 --> 01:33:51,790
It very well might be.

2690
01:33:51,790 --> 01:33:53,990
There's been some Gallup surveys and others that

2691
01:33:53,990 --> 01:33:56,910
have shown that spillover effect that the same

2692
01:33:56,910 --> 01:34:01,350
parts of the country where adults were refusing

2693
01:34:01,350 --> 01:34:03,850
to get COVID vaccines are now spilling over

2694
01:34:03,850 --> 01:34:05,310
to childhood immunizations.

2695
01:34:06,010 --> 01:34:07,970
So for instance, in West Texas, which had

2696
01:34:07,970 --> 01:34:11,310
some of the lowest COVID vaccination rates in

2697
01:34:11,310 --> 01:34:12,830
the country, guess what?

2698
01:34:12,890 --> 01:34:16,890
That's where we have our ginormous, ginormous, ginormous

2699
01:34:16,890 --> 01:34:19,370
measles epidemic right now in West Texas in

2700
01:34:19,370 --> 01:34:22,130
the panhandle and it's going up into the

2701
01:34:22,130 --> 01:34:24,790
conservative rural areas of the Great Plains where

2702
01:34:24,790 --> 01:34:27,310
COVID vaccinations were also low.

2703
01:34:27,450 --> 01:34:30,190
So I think the big picture is there

2704
01:34:30,190 --> 01:34:34,450
is that spillover effect from anti-vaccine activism

2705
01:34:34,450 --> 01:34:37,650
that accelerated during COVID now into childhood immunizations.

2706
01:34:37,950 --> 01:34:42,390
Oh yes, ginormous, it's bigger than gigantic or

2707
01:34:42,390 --> 01:34:42,790
enormous.

2708
01:34:42,990 --> 01:34:44,090
It's ginormous.

2709
01:34:44,310 --> 01:34:46,450
That's a very scientific term, I understand.

2710
01:34:47,530 --> 01:34:49,670
Ginormous is what the left uses and that

2711
01:34:49,670 --> 01:34:50,850
was popularized.

2712
01:34:50,950 --> 01:34:54,010
The term was mostly popularized by Rachel Maddow.

2713
01:34:54,550 --> 01:34:55,470
Oh, you're right.

2714
01:34:55,590 --> 01:34:57,210
She loved saying ginormous.

2715
01:34:57,490 --> 01:34:57,950
You're right.

2716
01:34:58,830 --> 01:34:59,230
Only word.

2717
01:34:59,770 --> 01:35:02,230
Yeah, I know you've developed vaccines yourself.

2718
01:35:03,010 --> 01:35:05,310
What do you make of what Secretary Kennedy

2719
01:35:05,310 --> 01:35:07,210
said that he wants to see new vaccines

2720
01:35:07,210 --> 01:35:09,150
tested with placebos?

2721
01:35:09,270 --> 01:35:10,130
What do you think of that?

2722
01:35:10,490 --> 01:35:13,330
This has been his playbook the last few

2723
01:35:13,330 --> 01:35:13,750
weeks.

2724
01:35:13,750 --> 01:35:16,130
Every few days he comes out with a

2725
01:35:16,130 --> 01:35:22,070
new statement that misrepresents vaccine safety or effectiveness.

2726
01:35:22,310 --> 01:35:24,970
For instance, he made it almost sound as

2727
01:35:24,970 --> 01:35:28,730
if we don't routinely test vaccines against placebo

2728
01:35:28,730 --> 01:35:29,250
control.

2729
01:35:29,430 --> 01:35:31,310
In fact, just about all of the childhood

2730
01:35:31,310 --> 01:35:36,630
immunizations historically have been tested against placebo controls,

2731
01:35:36,730 --> 01:35:38,550
typically in randomized studies.

2732
01:35:38,570 --> 01:35:41,350
So I don't really understand the basis of

2733
01:35:41,350 --> 01:35:44,230
the new announcement, other than the fact that

2734
01:35:44,230 --> 01:35:47,410
when we do a randomized placebo controlled trial

2735
01:35:47,410 --> 01:35:50,150
for something like a COVID vaccine, we do

2736
01:35:50,150 --> 01:35:51,550
it at the first time around.

2737
01:35:51,570 --> 01:35:53,870
But as we're updating, because you're making minor

2738
01:35:53,870 --> 01:35:57,650
adjustments in the composition of the vaccine to

2739
01:35:57,650 --> 01:36:00,610
reflect new variants, we don't typically repeat the

2740
01:36:00,610 --> 01:36:05,550
entire placebo randomized controlled trial because they're incredibly

2741
01:36:05,550 --> 01:36:09,610
expensive and sometimes they're not doable given the

2742
01:36:09,610 --> 01:36:12,190
size of what they are and the time

2743
01:36:12,190 --> 01:36:12,710
it would take.

2744
01:36:12,830 --> 01:36:16,030
So I hope he's not suggesting that we

2745
01:36:16,030 --> 01:36:18,210
have to do an entirely new randomized placebo

2746
01:36:18,210 --> 01:36:20,330
controlled trial every time we update a vaccine.

2747
01:36:21,270 --> 01:36:21,670
Wow.

2748
01:36:22,490 --> 01:36:25,310
Wow, what a scathing admission that is.

2749
01:36:26,830 --> 01:36:29,230
No, you know, but we're tweaking it.

2750
01:36:29,290 --> 01:36:30,070
We're just tweaking it.

2751
01:36:30,170 --> 01:36:31,090
What does that even mean?

2752
01:36:31,770 --> 01:36:33,710
You know, we're just doing a little dance.

2753
01:36:33,810 --> 01:36:34,750
We're tweaking a little bit.

2754
01:36:34,870 --> 01:36:36,370
You know, it's like just tightening the bolts

2755
01:36:36,370 --> 01:36:37,090
on the cylinder head.

2756
01:36:37,090 --> 01:36:37,870
Some DNA.

2757
01:36:38,190 --> 01:36:38,990
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2758
01:36:39,130 --> 01:36:40,510
Just add some frags.

2759
01:36:40,590 --> 01:36:42,950
Just adding some bits and bobs, baby.

2760
01:36:43,330 --> 01:36:44,450
We don't have to test that.

2761
01:36:44,590 --> 01:36:45,610
That's safe and effective.

2762
01:36:48,700 --> 01:36:51,300
They have to get liability back into the

2763
01:36:51,300 --> 01:36:51,640
picture.

2764
01:36:52,780 --> 01:36:56,560
There's no, there's no, you could be shooting

2765
01:36:56,560 --> 01:36:58,320
people with dog poop.

2766
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:00,720
It's no liability.

2767
01:37:00,940 --> 01:37:02,020
You can't sue them.

2768
01:37:02,500 --> 01:37:03,400
What good is it?

2769
01:37:03,580 --> 01:37:06,340
What, how is this protecting the consumer?

2770
01:37:06,900 --> 01:37:08,040
Is that the last clip or the thing

2771
01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:09,020
is one more?

2772
01:37:09,020 --> 01:37:13,040
I'm delighted to say, more hotep all of

2773
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:13,400
the time.

2774
01:37:13,460 --> 01:37:15,560
Is the effect of this to undermine confidence

2775
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:16,620
in vaccines, do you think?

2776
01:37:16,860 --> 01:37:18,640
Oh yeah, leading the witness.

2777
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:20,580
By the way, this is not scripted at

2778
01:37:20,580 --> 01:37:21,040
all.

2779
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:23,500
Or leading the witness.

2780
01:37:23,740 --> 01:37:25,800
Is the effect of this to undermine confidence

2781
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:26,880
in vaccines, do you think?

2782
01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:28,840
Well, this is the bigger picture.

2783
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:31,220
Remember, you know what RFK Jr. has been

2784
01:37:31,220 --> 01:37:32,380
saying every few days.

2785
01:37:32,500 --> 01:37:35,040
First, he said the MMR vaccine was leaky,

2786
01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:36,220
whatever that means.

2787
01:37:36,220 --> 01:37:39,340
And when he talks about suggesting people get

2788
01:37:39,340 --> 01:37:41,860
the MMR vaccine, he always pairs it, or

2789
01:37:41,860 --> 01:37:45,180
often pairs it, with a cocktail of useless

2790
01:37:45,180 --> 01:37:48,420
interventions for preventing measles.

2791
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:52,400
Or he says that the measles hospitalizations are

2792
01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:55,560
due to quarantine and isolation, which is not

2793
01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:55,720
true.

2794
01:37:55,780 --> 01:37:57,300
These kids are really, really sick.

2795
01:37:57,640 --> 01:37:59,420
Now is the time the Department of Health

2796
01:37:59,420 --> 01:38:01,600
and Human Services needs to be doubling down.

2797
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:02,600
Hold on a second.

2798
01:38:02,700 --> 01:38:04,760
He says something kind of odd here.

2799
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:06,620
Yeah, you noticed it too, didn't you?

2800
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:09,540
Yeah, so he, it's called like, it was

2801
01:38:09,540 --> 01:38:12,340
like moving the Overton window, whatever it is.

2802
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:16,560
So Kennedy says this is because people are

2803
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:19,500
quarantined and they're not getting measles anymore.

2804
01:38:19,500 --> 01:38:21,200
And then he says, no, these kids are

2805
01:38:21,200 --> 01:38:21,600
sick.

2806
01:38:22,260 --> 01:38:22,860
Like, I don't know.

2807
01:38:22,900 --> 01:38:24,560
It says non sequitur.

2808
01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:24,960
Yes.

2809
01:38:25,820 --> 01:38:27,680
Quarantine and isolation, which is not true.

2810
01:38:27,740 --> 01:38:29,280
These kids are really, really sick.

2811
01:38:29,620 --> 01:38:31,380
Now is the time the Department of Health

2812
01:38:31,380 --> 01:38:33,660
and Human Services needs to be doubling down

2813
01:38:33,660 --> 01:38:36,740
on telling the American people to vaccinate their

2814
01:38:36,740 --> 01:38:39,800
kids and highlighting the, and emphasizing the safety

2815
01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:42,360
and effectiveness of vaccines, not tearing it down.

2816
01:38:42,440 --> 01:38:44,820
So I do think it's starting to have

2817
01:38:44,820 --> 01:38:46,200
a very damaging effect.

2818
01:38:46,740 --> 01:38:48,820
Dr. Peter Hotez, thanks as always.

2819
01:38:49,700 --> 01:38:50,500
As always.

2820
01:38:50,580 --> 01:38:51,680
You're on all the time.

2821
01:38:51,820 --> 01:38:53,440
We're bringing you back every chance we can

2822
01:38:53,440 --> 01:38:55,220
because we're paid money to do it.

2823
01:38:55,380 --> 01:38:55,760
Yeah.

2824
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:57,740
On top of the government funding.

2825
01:38:57,940 --> 01:38:58,760
It's pretty pathetic.

2826
01:38:59,220 --> 01:39:00,000
It's pretty pathetic.

2827
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:02,340
Yeah, come on, Bobby.

2828
01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:04,420
Where's the Rico case?

2829
01:39:05,340 --> 01:39:07,420
Where's the stopping of advertising?

2830
01:39:08,900 --> 01:39:10,060
Talk is cheap, Bobby.

2831
01:39:10,480 --> 01:39:11,680
Come on, come on now.

2832
01:39:12,080 --> 01:39:13,540
I mean, I'll give him some time.

2833
01:39:13,580 --> 01:39:15,120
I'll give him another hundred days.

2834
01:39:15,180 --> 01:39:16,820
I think the next hundred days of the

2835
01:39:16,820 --> 01:39:19,420
Trump administration, they're going to ramp it up.

2836
01:39:19,480 --> 01:39:21,440
They're going to ramp everything up so much.

2837
01:39:22,100 --> 01:39:23,400
Well, they're going to have to because people

2838
01:39:23,400 --> 01:39:24,300
are demanding it.

2839
01:39:24,580 --> 01:39:25,640
I don't know what they're going to do

2840
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:27,920
about the Epstein thing, because I believe now

2841
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:29,320
that that doesn't exist.

2842
01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:30,340
It's been destroyed.

2843
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:33,240
The Diddy stuff, I don't know, he's going

2844
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:34,900
to trial, I think this week or coming

2845
01:39:34,900 --> 01:39:35,860
this coming week.

2846
01:39:36,180 --> 01:39:37,520
Tonight, Sean Combs makes it official.

2847
01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:37,820
Hold on.

2848
01:39:38,020 --> 01:39:39,120
It was perfect timing.

2849
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:40,000
It was perfect timing.

2850
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:40,480
Oh, it was.

2851
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:41,280
Do it again.

2852
01:39:41,460 --> 01:39:42,280
I'll edit it out.

2853
01:39:42,740 --> 01:39:44,680
Diddy is going to trial any minute.

2854
01:39:45,020 --> 01:39:46,760
Tonight, Sean Combs makes it official.

2855
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:49,240
He's rejecting the government's offer to plead guilty

2856
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:51,440
and spare himself the possibility of a prolonged

2857
01:39:51,440 --> 01:39:52,360
term in prison.

2858
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:54,300
When asked if he turned down the offer,

2859
01:39:54,500 --> 01:39:56,620
Combs answered, yes, I do, Your Honor, as

2860
01:39:56,620 --> 01:39:58,740
he stood in a baggy beige jail uniform.

2861
01:39:59,220 --> 01:40:01,620
Terms were not disclosed, but prosecutors did say

2862
01:40:01,620 --> 01:40:03,820
a plea could result in a shorter sentence

2863
01:40:03,820 --> 01:40:05,580
for Combs than if he's convicted.

2864
01:40:06,060 --> 01:40:09,020
The decision guarantees Combs will face trial beginning

2865
01:40:09,020 --> 01:40:11,040
just four days from now that will test

2866
01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:13,900
whether one of music's most prolific figures used

2867
01:40:13,900 --> 01:40:17,100
his power, wealth, and fame to sexually exploit

2868
01:40:17,100 --> 01:40:18,880
both women and men for decades.

2869
01:40:19,500 --> 01:40:21,840
Combs has pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy,

2870
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:24,960
sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution

2871
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:27,480
charges that accused him of coercing alleged victims

2872
01:40:27,480 --> 01:40:30,300
into prolonged drug-fueled sexual activity that he

2873
01:40:30,300 --> 01:40:32,880
called freak-offs and threatening them into silence.

2874
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:35,460
At trial, Combs will ditch the jail garb

2875
01:40:35,460 --> 01:40:36,700
and wear ordinary clothes.

2876
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:39,340
As his lawyers argue, the evidence shows consenting

2877
01:40:39,340 --> 01:40:41,480
adults being intimate in their own way.

2878
01:40:42,580 --> 01:40:44,200
In their own way.

2879
01:40:44,480 --> 01:40:47,100
Everybody's consenting in their own way.

2880
01:40:47,540 --> 01:40:47,760
Yeah, yeah.

2881
01:40:48,380 --> 01:40:49,800
I'm not con- Passed out.

2882
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:50,740
You're consenting.

2883
01:40:50,740 --> 01:40:51,400
You're consenting.

2884
01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:54,160
Yeah, I thought his way was being passed

2885
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:55,480
out, so that's what I did.

2886
01:40:55,580 --> 01:40:57,780
So no Epstein, but we got Diddy.

2887
01:40:57,880 --> 01:41:00,680
Get the black man, and- That's also

2888
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:02,880
the thing he wants to go to trial

2889
01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:05,100
because he, somebody, at least somebody in his

2890
01:41:05,100 --> 01:41:06,360
king camp knows that.

2891
01:41:06,700 --> 01:41:10,300
You go to trial, that means discovery, and

2892
01:41:10,300 --> 01:41:13,280
discovery means some names are gonna come out

2893
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:15,320
that don't wanna have their names come out,

2894
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:17,220
and maybe they can do a deal or

2895
01:41:17,220 --> 01:41:18,800
do something or kill him.

2896
01:41:21,440 --> 01:41:25,880
Meanwhile, in related news, over in the United

2897
01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:26,500
Kingdoms.

2898
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:28,720
Overseas tonight, actor and comedian Russell Brand making

2899
01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:30,720
his first court appearance since being charged with

2900
01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:32,260
rape and sexual assault in London.

2901
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:34,280
Brand pushing his way through a mob of

2902
01:41:34,280 --> 01:41:35,860
photographers outside the courthouse.

2903
01:41:36,280 --> 01:41:38,240
Four women accusing him in separate alleged attacks

2904
01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:40,300
between 1999 and 2005.

2905
01:41:40,860 --> 01:41:42,900
The judge releasing him on conditional bail.

2906
01:41:43,020 --> 01:41:44,280
Brand denies the allegations.

2907
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:46,340
They are railroading this guy.

2908
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:49,500
It sounds like a Snowden thing to me.

2909
01:41:50,220 --> 01:41:51,700
There's a little bit of that, but there's

2910
01:41:51,700 --> 01:41:54,220
also, he's not doing himself any favors the

2911
01:41:54,220 --> 01:41:55,480
way, with his commentary.

2912
01:41:56,060 --> 01:41:59,020
Well, he lives in Florida now, but he

2913
01:41:59,020 --> 01:42:00,060
doesn't even live in the UK.

2914
01:42:00,820 --> 01:42:02,660
Yeah, I know how they got him out

2915
01:42:02,660 --> 01:42:02,900
there.

2916
01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:04,620
He has to, he has to, or he'll

2917
01:42:04,620 --> 01:42:05,420
be extradited.

2918
01:42:06,260 --> 01:42:08,440
Was he extradited, or was he?

2919
01:42:08,440 --> 01:42:10,140
No, no, no, no, he just- He's

2920
01:42:10,140 --> 01:42:10,620
still in Florida?

2921
01:42:10,940 --> 01:42:14,200
No, he has to attend the, yeah, he

2922
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:15,180
takes British Airways.

2923
01:42:15,220 --> 01:42:18,140
He has to attend the trials, but he

2924
01:42:18,140 --> 01:42:19,140
can go back to Florida.

2925
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:20,820
Seems kind of odd.

2926
01:42:21,580 --> 01:42:22,360
It is odd.

2927
01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:22,800
Yeah.

2928
01:42:24,180 --> 01:42:27,740
I have, what's the time?

2929
01:42:27,940 --> 01:42:28,600
Yeah, we can do this.

2930
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:31,640
I have three clips from the guy I

2931
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:34,440
like most when it comes to EU, UK,

2932
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:36,940
Ukraine, and NATO, Andrew Rassoulis.

2933
01:42:37,740 --> 01:42:41,860
He's the former military dude from Candanavia, about

2934
01:42:41,860 --> 01:42:45,840
the minerals deal that we signed with Ukraine,

2935
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:47,440
which we've heard very little about.

2936
01:42:47,580 --> 01:42:49,460
Have you heard much about that in the

2937
01:42:49,460 --> 01:42:51,800
US media, besides that something happened?

2938
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:52,780
Yeah.

2939
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:55,360
Well, do you know- We had a

2940
01:42:55,360 --> 01:42:56,760
bunch of clips in the last show about

2941
01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:56,860
it.

2942
01:42:56,900 --> 01:42:58,080
Yeah, but it just says we have a

2943
01:42:58,080 --> 01:42:59,620
deal, but do you know the terms of

2944
01:42:59,620 --> 01:42:59,960
the deal?

2945
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:01,120
Do you know anything about it?

2946
01:43:01,180 --> 01:43:03,200
No, we didn't get any of that from

2947
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:03,680
our clips.

2948
01:43:05,900 --> 01:43:06,540
Do you know?

2949
01:43:07,440 --> 01:43:09,040
Well, I thought the terms of the deal,

2950
01:43:09,220 --> 01:43:10,660
that was we just had to spend a

2951
01:43:10,660 --> 01:43:11,940
lot of money, give them more money.

2952
01:43:12,320 --> 01:43:14,280
We're gonna speak with Andrew Rassoulis yet again.

2953
01:43:14,700 --> 01:43:16,600
He is a defense and Eastern European affairs

2954
01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:18,540
expert with the Canadian Global Affairs Institute.

2955
01:43:18,840 --> 01:43:20,380
Andrew, thank you for joining us again.

2956
01:43:20,460 --> 01:43:21,140
Appreciate your time.

2957
01:43:21,480 --> 01:43:22,260
You're very welcome, Shane.

2958
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:24,520
Okay, so this deal, we know this has

2959
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:27,060
been touted as key to Ukraine's fortunes here

2960
01:43:27,060 --> 01:43:29,700
as Zelensky saying he's hopeful this guarantees continued

2961
01:43:29,700 --> 01:43:30,740
support from the Americans.

2962
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:33,680
So this was absolutely essential, right?

2963
01:43:34,420 --> 01:43:36,760
Well, it's an important building block, but it's

2964
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:38,440
a building block, but it's not a keystone.

2965
01:43:38,580 --> 01:43:39,760
That's the way I describe it to a

2966
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:40,300
peace settlement.

2967
01:43:41,140 --> 01:43:43,580
And we have to remember that the agreement

2968
01:43:43,580 --> 01:43:46,440
that was signed now is a reasonably watered

2969
01:43:46,440 --> 01:43:47,260
down agreement.

2970
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:51,460
Now, the key element of the first agreement

2971
01:43:51,460 --> 01:43:54,860
that Ukraine proposed was that basically the United

2972
01:43:54,860 --> 01:43:57,080
States in return for having access to these

2973
01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:59,600
minerals and revenues and so on would provide

2974
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:03,040
solid military guarantees to Ukraine in the event

2975
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:04,800
of a peace settlement with Russia.

2976
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:07,540
The Americans countered that with saying no way

2977
01:44:07,540 --> 01:44:08,440
for a security thing.

2978
01:44:08,540 --> 01:44:09,720
And by the way, we want all this

2979
01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:12,480
money back from Ukraine to repay loans or

2980
01:44:12,480 --> 01:44:15,100
costs that we invented in your defense.

2981
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:16,840
So the Ukrainians said, no way.

2982
01:44:17,060 --> 01:44:19,100
Now, the third option, which they did sign

2983
01:44:19,100 --> 01:44:20,580
is a watered down version.

2984
01:44:20,580 --> 01:44:24,000
There is no guaranteed American security for Ukraine,

2985
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,700
but there is a paragraph that suggests it

2986
01:44:26,700 --> 01:44:27,640
might be possible.

2987
01:44:27,980 --> 01:44:29,560
It's an option for the United States to

2988
01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:30,080
exercise.

2989
01:44:30,420 --> 01:44:31,360
So it's half and half.

2990
01:44:31,620 --> 01:44:32,260
It's an option.

2991
01:44:32,580 --> 01:44:36,020
And for the Ukrainians, there is no obligation

2992
01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:39,660
to repay debt, so-called, for American assistance.

2993
01:44:40,100 --> 01:44:43,840
Rather, the profits here, both American and Ukrainian,

2994
01:44:44,220 --> 01:44:47,200
will be primarily directed at the reconstruction of

2995
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:47,580
Ukraine.

2996
01:44:47,580 --> 01:44:49,580
So that's the kind of, it's a bit

2997
01:44:49,580 --> 01:44:52,280
of a win-win, but it's not that

2998
01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:54,280
huge thing that was supposed to be the

2999
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:56,000
security guarantee in the event of a peace

3000
01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:56,300
settlement.

3001
01:44:56,560 --> 01:44:57,360
That's not there.

3002
01:44:57,500 --> 01:44:59,780
Okay, so the way I see this is,

3003
01:45:00,620 --> 01:45:02,600
if we make any money off of those

3004
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:08,040
minerals, if you got them, then maybe we'll

3005
01:45:08,040 --> 01:45:10,380
provide you some security if it's any good.

3006
01:45:11,300 --> 01:45:15,260
And any profits will go and build stuff

3007
01:45:15,260 --> 01:45:16,980
in your country which we're gonna profit off

3008
01:45:16,980 --> 01:45:17,120
of.

3009
01:45:17,120 --> 01:45:18,960
Sounds like a good deal for us.

3010
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:20,700
But it is- Except for the fact

3011
01:45:20,700 --> 01:45:22,340
we can't get to the minerals, there's no

3012
01:45:22,340 --> 01:45:24,340
real mining going on, and it's possible there's

3013
01:45:24,340 --> 01:45:25,880
no minerals at all and they're full of

3014
01:45:25,880 --> 01:45:26,820
crap, those guys.

3015
01:45:26,980 --> 01:45:28,200
The Ukrainians are criminals.

3016
01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:30,160
So it's part- No offense to the

3017
01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:32,380
Ukrainian listeners that we have, but they have

3018
01:45:32,380 --> 01:45:34,500
a lot of shysters there, let's put it

3019
01:45:34,500 --> 01:45:34,900
that way.

3020
01:45:35,320 --> 01:45:37,200
Is this, does this mean there's a possibility

3021
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:37,920
of a peace deal?

3022
01:45:38,100 --> 01:45:40,040
Now, it comes at a time when we

3023
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:41,740
know and we heard from U.S. Vice

3024
01:45:41,740 --> 01:45:43,640
President J.D. Vance just yesterday, hey, look,

3025
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:45,260
peace isn't coming anytime soon.

3026
01:45:45,260 --> 01:45:48,800
And so it looks like the prospect of

3027
01:45:48,800 --> 01:45:51,320
reaching a broader deal with Russia and Ukraine,

3028
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:53,940
the hopes just continue to diminish, don't they?

3029
01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:55,160
Well, they continue.

3030
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:58,480
I'm not gonna say diminish, because every day

3031
01:45:58,480 --> 01:45:59,220
it's a little different.

3032
01:45:59,460 --> 01:46:03,220
I would say to you objectively that talks

3033
01:46:03,220 --> 01:46:03,820
are continuing.

3034
01:46:04,180 --> 01:46:07,260
And a lot of what's going on now

3035
01:46:07,260 --> 01:46:09,300
we don't hear about because it's behind the

3036
01:46:09,300 --> 01:46:10,780
scenes, as it should be.

3037
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:13,400
And so there's a lot of, I think,

3038
01:46:13,740 --> 01:46:17,180
looking for the deals that are in corridors.

3039
01:46:17,340 --> 01:46:20,100
The Americans are talking to basically everybody and

3040
01:46:20,100 --> 01:46:22,480
trying to broker something, but they're also expressing

3041
01:46:22,480 --> 01:46:24,960
frustration and saying they're not gonna run around

3042
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:27,080
the globe at high level, like Rubio's not

3043
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:28,140
gonna run around the globe.

3044
01:46:28,480 --> 01:46:30,940
But officials, I mean, they're talking.

3045
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:33,400
I mean, we don't know the mechanisms and

3046
01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:34,780
it's behind closed doors.

3047
01:46:35,480 --> 01:46:36,480
Will this succeed?

3048
01:46:36,820 --> 01:46:38,340
We do not know.

3049
01:46:38,660 --> 01:46:40,540
Is there an incentive for both sides to

3050
01:46:40,540 --> 01:46:41,220
come to an agreement?

3051
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:43,760
Yes, depending on the terms.

3052
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:46,700
Both sides at some point get exhausted by

3053
01:46:46,700 --> 01:46:48,880
this, but it's always, it's the question of

3054
01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:49,360
the deal.

3055
01:46:49,780 --> 01:46:53,160
You get exhausted, but for what benefit, what

3056
01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:54,920
care it is out there for you to

3057
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:56,080
actually make a compromise?

3058
01:46:56,580 --> 01:46:58,820
And that's where things are right now.

3059
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:01,040
You know, May 9th looms out there.

3060
01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:02,660
That's Victory in Europe day.

3061
01:47:02,740 --> 01:47:04,540
The Russians would love to have a peace

3062
01:47:04,540 --> 01:47:05,220
settlement then.

3063
01:47:05,700 --> 01:47:08,160
Would the Ukrainians agree with what the Russians

3064
01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:09,240
want, would the Russians agree?

3065
01:47:09,480 --> 01:47:11,900
I don't know, Shea, but that's the next

3066
01:47:11,900 --> 01:47:12,540
target date.

3067
01:47:12,540 --> 01:47:13,620
We'll see what happens.

3068
01:47:14,020 --> 01:47:15,300
But there is some change.

3069
01:47:15,460 --> 01:47:16,360
This is the final clip.

3070
01:47:16,620 --> 01:47:19,020
What is Russia's thinking about all this?

3071
01:47:19,220 --> 01:47:20,320
What have we heard from Russia?

3072
01:47:20,380 --> 01:47:22,200
Like I say, Zelensky talking about this deal

3073
01:47:22,200 --> 01:47:22,660
being reached.

3074
01:47:22,760 --> 01:47:24,300
I mean, Russia's not involved in the deal,

3075
01:47:24,420 --> 01:47:25,080
but it affects it.

3076
01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:27,680
What have we heard from Russia lately about

3077
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:28,880
this whole situation?

3078
01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:31,340
Well, on the deal, the Russians have not

3079
01:47:31,340 --> 01:47:33,540
commented in any political way.

3080
01:47:33,580 --> 01:47:35,960
They've simply acknowledged that it exists.

3081
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:36,520
Yeah, okay.

3082
01:47:36,580 --> 01:47:37,360
It's kind of a so what.

3083
01:47:37,500 --> 01:47:38,300
It's kind of a so what.

3084
01:47:38,580 --> 01:47:38,800
Yeah, yeah.

3085
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:41,400
But the Russians keep reiterating.

3086
01:47:41,400 --> 01:47:43,300
We're hearing two things from the Russians.

3087
01:47:43,460 --> 01:47:44,800
One, we hear the maximalist things.

3088
01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:46,300
We want everything we said we want.

3089
01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:48,760
But two, there's been an important nuance.

3090
01:47:49,420 --> 01:47:52,020
Putin has said that he's prepared to meet

3091
01:47:52,020 --> 01:47:55,500
with Zelensky, even though he sees that Zelensky

3092
01:47:55,500 --> 01:47:58,060
is not a legitimate elected ruler because the

3093
01:47:58,060 --> 01:47:59,420
five-year mandate has expired.

3094
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:01,340
This is an important concession.

3095
01:48:01,740 --> 01:48:03,240
And the same from the Ukrainians.

3096
01:48:03,580 --> 01:48:05,540
Zelensky has said he's prepared to meet with

3097
01:48:05,540 --> 01:48:07,860
the Russians and with Putin, because even though

3098
01:48:07,860 --> 01:48:09,740
there's a Ukrainian law that says you can't

3099
01:48:09,740 --> 01:48:11,560
negotiate with the Russians, we said that's an

3100
01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:12,480
exception, okay?

3101
01:48:12,860 --> 01:48:16,480
And Rubio is saying, at some point, the

3102
01:48:16,480 --> 01:48:18,800
Russians and the Ukrainians are gonna have to

3103
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:20,940
sit down and make a final deal.

3104
01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:22,680
And that's the point, you see?

3105
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:24,740
So the fact that we've heard noises from

3106
01:48:24,740 --> 01:48:27,900
Zelensky and Putin suggesting that the door is

3107
01:48:27,900 --> 01:48:30,000
open to sit down at a table one

3108
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:32,820
day means that they acknowledge this fact.

3109
01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:35,100
And I think the Americans are hedging them

3110
01:48:35,100 --> 01:48:35,900
to this.

3111
01:48:36,140 --> 01:48:37,060
When will that happen?

3112
01:48:37,420 --> 01:48:39,460
I don't know, but eventually, I believe it

3113
01:48:39,460 --> 01:48:39,760
will.

3114
01:48:40,220 --> 01:48:40,620
Okay.

3115
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:42,000
I like that.

3116
01:48:42,180 --> 01:48:43,620
By the way, where's that come from?

3117
01:48:44,020 --> 01:48:46,180
That is from Edmonton Radio.

3118
01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:47,500
That's why it sounds so crappy.

3119
01:48:47,500 --> 01:48:48,440
That was quite good.

3120
01:48:48,660 --> 01:48:49,120
Thank you.

3121
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:50,020
I like Rassoulos.

3122
01:48:50,060 --> 01:48:50,740
I like this guy.

3123
01:48:51,540 --> 01:48:51,780
Yeah.

3124
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:54,020
He's definitely in the know.

3125
01:48:54,140 --> 01:48:55,880
He's one of those ex-military guys.

3126
01:48:55,900 --> 01:48:56,720
Yeah, no, you can tell.

3127
01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:57,780
Yeah, he knows.

3128
01:48:57,800 --> 01:48:59,800
The way people do a presentation, whether they

3129
01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:01,020
know what they're talking about or not.

3130
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:03,060
Yeah, so then we don't get that kind

3131
01:49:03,060 --> 01:49:05,080
of information here, in my opinion.

3132
01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:06,260
At least I'm not finding it.

3133
01:49:06,260 --> 01:49:06,740
In your opinion?

3134
01:49:07,300 --> 01:49:07,960
It's a fact.

3135
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:09,480
I'm not finding it.

3136
01:49:10,240 --> 01:49:11,640
Before we take a break, should we do

3137
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:11,760
it?

3138
01:49:11,840 --> 01:49:12,880
You only have one, I see.

3139
01:49:13,340 --> 01:49:15,040
That's a little disappointing, but.

3140
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:18,940
Well, actually, I have a pre-break clip,

3141
01:49:19,020 --> 01:49:20,240
but I think it might be better for

3142
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:22,160
the second break, which is the Victor David

3143
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:24,200
Hansen clip on the Democrat Dilemma.

3144
01:49:24,420 --> 01:49:25,220
Oh, okay.

3145
01:49:25,420 --> 01:49:27,860
But I think that's a good clip to

3146
01:49:27,860 --> 01:49:29,680
lead into the second break, and you'll see

3147
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:31,180
why when you play the clip.

3148
01:49:31,300 --> 01:49:31,600
Okay.

3149
01:49:32,160 --> 01:49:35,040
But for the clip, you're promoting is-

3150
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:37,160
♪ Now, TikTok, you don't stop now, because

3151
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:39,640
- ♪ Yeah, everybody, it's everybody's favorite moment.

3152
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:43,340
John's trick of the day.

3153
01:49:44,220 --> 01:49:45,100
This was the worst.

3154
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,380
I could not find any good TikTok clips.

3155
01:49:47,480 --> 01:49:48,440
There were a lot of good ones that

3156
01:49:48,440 --> 01:49:55,420
were visually interesting, from distressed weirdos, but they

3157
01:49:55,420 --> 01:49:58,020
didn't have the audio I wanted, and so

3158
01:49:58,020 --> 01:49:59,140
this is the best I could do.

3159
01:49:59,220 --> 01:50:01,200
This is the only TikTok clip I have

3160
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:02,720
for today's show.

3161
01:50:03,340 --> 01:50:04,500
Disappointing, only one.

3162
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:05,560
Yeah.

3163
01:50:05,880 --> 01:50:06,600
And it's short.

3164
01:50:07,260 --> 01:50:07,780
Yeah.

3165
01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:09,460
All right, well, we'll take what we can

3166
01:50:09,460 --> 01:50:09,760
get.

3167
01:50:09,980 --> 01:50:12,600
How can anyone with a functioning brain cell

3168
01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:15,300
still say that Donald Trump was the correct

3169
01:50:15,300 --> 01:50:18,720
choice for president after these first 100 days?

3170
01:50:19,220 --> 01:50:21,500
I just watched Kamala Harris's speech tonight, and

3171
01:50:21,500 --> 01:50:24,180
it is very, very evident that it just

3172
01:50:24,180 --> 01:50:24,780
should have been her.

3173
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:27,180
She should be the president of the United

3174
01:50:27,180 --> 01:50:29,240
States right now, and not Donald Trump.

3175
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:32,140
Did you see that speech by Harris?

3176
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:33,040
She was drunk.

3177
01:50:33,060 --> 01:50:33,980
The speech was the worst.

3178
01:50:33,980 --> 01:50:37,820
She just babbled on about meaningless crap, including

3179
01:50:37,820 --> 01:50:39,080
the elephant stuff.

3180
01:50:39,340 --> 01:50:41,700
She was, I happen to have, what do

3181
01:50:41,700 --> 01:50:42,260
I have?

3182
01:50:44,820 --> 01:50:46,940
I have 30 seconds of it, if you

3183
01:50:46,940 --> 01:50:47,260
want.

3184
01:50:47,260 --> 01:50:48,100
Yeah, play some of it.

3185
01:50:48,920 --> 01:50:51,620
In fact, please allow me, friends, to digress

3186
01:50:51,620 --> 01:50:52,200
for a moment.

3187
01:50:52,620 --> 01:50:52,920
Okay.

3188
01:50:53,380 --> 01:50:53,820
Okay.

3189
01:50:54,300 --> 01:50:55,700
It's kind of dark in here, but I'm

3190
01:50:55,700 --> 01:50:56,540
asking a show of hands.

3191
01:50:56,880 --> 01:50:58,820
Who saw that video from a couple of

3192
01:50:58,820 --> 01:51:00,820
weeks ago, the one of the elephants at

3193
01:51:00,820 --> 01:51:03,680
the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake?

3194
01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:08,080
Google it if you've not seen it.

3195
01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:12,700
So that scene has been on my mind.

3196
01:51:13,500 --> 01:51:14,980
Everybody's asking me, what you been thinking about

3197
01:51:14,980 --> 01:51:15,420
these days?

3198
01:51:15,580 --> 01:51:15,760
Well.

3199
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:24,220
Yeah, she should be president.

3200
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:26,180
Jeez.

3201
01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:28,820
So these TikTok people, you know, I keep

3202
01:51:28,820 --> 01:51:31,500
telling you that they're just engagement farming, and

3203
01:51:31,500 --> 01:51:34,660
they just want to get clicks and likes,

3204
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:36,400
and people are pushing back on me about

3205
01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:36,760
that.

3206
01:51:37,500 --> 01:51:39,600
They're like, no, no, you have to understand,

3207
01:51:40,540 --> 01:51:41,840
these people are real.

3208
01:51:42,020 --> 01:51:43,680
These people are at my job.

3209
01:51:44,060 --> 01:51:45,580
These people are at my school.

3210
01:51:45,740 --> 01:51:47,060
These people are in my community.

3211
01:51:48,100 --> 01:51:50,160
I'll take the side of the pushbackers.

3212
01:51:50,780 --> 01:51:51,780
I agree with them.

3213
01:51:52,140 --> 01:51:55,300
And well, I'm actually sad about that.

3214
01:51:55,340 --> 01:51:57,100
I mean, these people are like clouds without

3215
01:51:57,100 --> 01:51:57,380
water.

3216
01:51:57,380 --> 01:52:01,820
There are very few moments in our relationship

3217
01:52:01,820 --> 01:52:03,620
and the relationship with you and the audience

3218
01:52:03,620 --> 01:52:05,160
that you're an optimist.

3219
01:52:05,420 --> 01:52:07,480
Very, very seldom does this happen.

3220
01:52:07,880 --> 01:52:08,300
Yeah, well.

3221
01:52:08,480 --> 01:52:11,240
You used to wear rose-colored glasses when

3222
01:52:11,240 --> 01:52:11,860
I first met you.

3223
01:52:11,900 --> 01:52:12,640
I remember that.

3224
01:52:12,720 --> 01:52:13,200
That's correct.

3225
01:52:14,780 --> 01:52:15,300
Correct.

3226
01:52:16,660 --> 01:52:18,520
But generally speaking, you have kind of a

3227
01:52:18,520 --> 01:52:20,920
dim attitude or a negative attitude.

3228
01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:23,240
But in this case, you have an extremely

3229
01:52:23,240 --> 01:52:26,360
positive attitude thinking that everyone's a phony.

3230
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:28,220
And life's good.

3231
01:52:28,300 --> 01:52:31,420
These people are legitimately nuts.

3232
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:34,500
They're insane individuals that are pathetic.

3233
01:52:35,580 --> 01:52:37,180
And there's no other way of putting it.

3234
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:38,660
But that makes me feel sad.

3235
01:52:38,980 --> 01:52:39,420
I know.

3236
01:52:39,620 --> 01:52:41,080
I know you don't like the idea.

3237
01:52:41,220 --> 01:52:42,660
They are clouds without water.

3238
01:52:42,860 --> 01:52:43,820
They're autumn trees.

3239
01:52:43,980 --> 01:52:45,780
They're autumn trees without fruit.

3240
01:52:45,900 --> 01:52:48,360
In fact, John, they are wandering stars for

3241
01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:50,580
whom the black darkness has been reserved forever.

3242
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:51,660
They are the fruit.

3243
01:52:52,620 --> 01:52:54,480
With that, I want to thank you for

3244
01:52:54,480 --> 01:52:55,580
your courage in the morning.

3245
01:52:55,580 --> 01:52:57,060
To you, the man who put the sea

3246
01:52:57,060 --> 01:52:58,320
in the chemtrail fanatic.

3247
01:52:58,400 --> 01:52:59,620
Say hello to my friend on the other

3248
01:52:59,620 --> 01:52:59,820
end.

3249
01:52:59,880 --> 01:53:01,980
The one, the only, Mr. John C.

3250
01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:02,540
DeMora.

3251
01:53:05,500 --> 01:53:05,860
Wow.

3252
01:53:05,940 --> 01:53:07,260
In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Crane.

3253
01:53:07,300 --> 01:53:08,960
DeMora ships sea boots on the ground, feeding

3254
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:10,140
the air subs in the water to the

3255
01:53:10,140 --> 01:53:11,380
dames and the knights out there.

3256
01:53:11,420 --> 01:53:12,660
In the morning to the trolls in the

3257
01:53:12,660 --> 01:53:13,080
troll room.

3258
01:53:13,220 --> 01:53:13,660
On your couches.

3259
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:14,380
Stop moving.

3260
01:53:14,580 --> 01:53:15,160
Stop moving.

3261
01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:15,580
Here we go.

3262
01:53:18,840 --> 01:53:19,200
Okay.

3263
01:53:19,500 --> 01:53:20,340
It's getting better.

3264
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:22,660
2,403 peak trollage.

3265
01:53:23,340 --> 01:53:23,960
It's not bad.

3266
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:24,780
I'll take that.

3267
01:53:25,220 --> 01:53:27,740
They are hanging out at trollroom.io, which

3268
01:53:27,740 --> 01:53:29,900
is where you can go to join the

3269
01:53:29,900 --> 01:53:32,600
trolls, who are very handy.

3270
01:53:32,780 --> 01:53:34,120
I mean, I have the troll room open

3271
01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:35,300
and out of the corner of my eye,

3272
01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:36,340
my peripheral vision.

3273
01:53:36,680 --> 01:53:37,840
I see what you're saying.

3274
01:53:37,940 --> 01:53:38,900
I get one-liners.

3275
01:53:39,040 --> 01:53:39,640
I get jokes.

3276
01:53:39,780 --> 01:53:40,840
I get ideas.

3277
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:41,780
Okay.

3278
01:53:42,340 --> 01:53:42,740
Criticisms.

3279
01:53:43,260 --> 01:53:43,660
Trolling.

3280
01:53:43,880 --> 01:53:44,280
Trolls.

3281
01:53:44,300 --> 01:53:44,860
Lots of trolls.

3282
01:53:45,420 --> 01:53:46,240
But I like it.

3283
01:53:46,380 --> 01:53:48,940
We, in fact, have a studio audience where

3284
01:53:48,940 --> 01:53:50,760
we do flash the applause sign, but you

3285
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:51,480
don't hear them.

3286
01:53:51,860 --> 01:53:53,640
It's a beautiful system we've devised.

3287
01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:56,660
You can also enjoy this on a modern

3288
01:53:56,660 --> 01:53:59,220
podcast app by going to podcastapps.com.

3289
01:53:59,840 --> 01:54:01,940
And you will even get alerted when the

3290
01:54:01,940 --> 01:54:02,620
shows go live.

3291
01:54:02,680 --> 01:54:03,520
And there are many shows.

3292
01:54:04,060 --> 01:54:05,560
You know, doing a big live show next

3293
01:54:05,560 --> 01:54:08,840
Saturday on the No Agenda stream with Boo

3294
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:10,000
Bury and...

3295
01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:13,160
The No Agenda stream people.

3296
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:15,760
They do these live music shows.

3297
01:54:16,820 --> 01:54:17,540
It's really good.

3298
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:17,940
Is that right?

3299
01:54:18,140 --> 01:54:18,540
Oh, yeah.

3300
01:54:18,740 --> 01:54:19,540
Oh, they do it all the time.

3301
01:54:19,620 --> 01:54:20,060
Well, hello.

3302
01:54:20,340 --> 01:54:21,020
Do you ever listen?

3303
01:54:22,300 --> 01:54:22,780
Saturday.

3304
01:54:22,780 --> 01:54:23,660
It's going to be Saturday.

3305
01:54:23,780 --> 01:54:24,880
I think six o'clock is when it

3306
01:54:24,880 --> 01:54:24,980
starts.

3307
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:26,620
I'm usually doing clips on Saturday.

3308
01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:28,040
Well, you can keep it on the background.

3309
01:54:28,280 --> 01:54:30,120
So you'll get an alert when that kicks

3310
01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:30,480
off.

3311
01:54:30,660 --> 01:54:32,800
And of course, we have all kinds of

3312
01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:34,540
extra cool bits.

3313
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:36,740
We've got transcripts.

3314
01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:39,880
We've got chapters with chapter art that changes.

3315
01:54:40,100 --> 01:54:42,740
All these modern podcast apps observe that and

3316
01:54:42,740 --> 01:54:44,800
change it while you're driving so you're entertained.

3317
01:54:45,160 --> 01:54:46,220
Keep your eyes on the road, though.

3318
01:54:47,220 --> 01:54:50,280
And that art comes from people who support

3319
01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:52,580
the show, our producers who support us with

3320
01:54:52,580 --> 01:54:53,420
time and talent.

3321
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:55,760
We have three versions of support because all

3322
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:57,380
we want, we give you the show as

3323
01:54:57,380 --> 01:54:57,840
a service.

3324
01:54:57,880 --> 01:55:00,940
Just like PBS, only you're not required to

3325
01:55:00,940 --> 01:55:02,400
spend your tax dollars on us.

3326
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:04,300
You can spend your tax return.

3327
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:05,340
That's a good idea.

3328
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:05,900
Yes, you're right.

3329
01:55:05,900 --> 01:55:08,000
And anywhere there's an internet connection, you can

3330
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:08,660
get the show.

3331
01:55:08,780 --> 01:55:09,880
There's no desert.

3332
01:55:11,060 --> 01:55:12,460
There is no desert.

3333
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:14,640
And we're available on Starlink, I hear.

3334
01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:15,720
So, yes.

3335
01:55:16,900 --> 01:55:18,000
Time, talent, treasure.

3336
01:55:18,120 --> 01:55:19,140
These are the three ways that you can

3337
01:55:19,140 --> 01:55:25,420
support us and noagendaartgenerator.com is where you

3338
01:55:25,420 --> 01:55:26,720
can upload your art if you want to

3339
01:55:26,720 --> 01:55:27,180
participate.

3340
01:55:27,620 --> 01:55:28,960
It's also where you can just follow along

3341
01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:31,460
during the live show or, if you prefer,

3342
01:55:32,140 --> 01:55:34,180
you can go back after the fact.

3343
01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:35,760
A lot of these images show up in

3344
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:38,280
our chapter art.

3345
01:55:38,340 --> 01:55:40,140
Thank you very much, Dreb Scott.

3346
01:55:41,100 --> 01:55:43,440
And it was a contentious pick.

3347
01:55:45,140 --> 01:55:47,660
It wasn't easy, the last show.

3348
01:55:47,760 --> 01:55:48,960
There were a lot of different things.

3349
01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:52,180
Nothing really stood out where we say, yeah,

3350
01:55:52,260 --> 01:55:53,160
that's the one.

3351
01:55:53,860 --> 01:55:56,880
But Darren O'Neill, it was still a

3352
01:55:56,880 --> 01:55:57,260
laugh.

3353
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:01,280
It's very inside this piece of art because

3354
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:04,800
you are famous, of course, as an author

3355
01:56:04,800 --> 01:56:07,440
of many bestseller books.

3356
01:56:07,820 --> 01:56:09,680
And that was the piece that was missing.

3357
01:56:10,640 --> 01:56:13,020
It did not have the star emblem.

3358
01:56:13,260 --> 01:56:13,460
A little sticker.

3359
01:56:13,620 --> 01:56:16,440
A little sticker that says instant bestseller.

3360
01:56:16,440 --> 01:56:19,000
This was the Blackmail for Fun and Profit

3361
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:21,360
book, What's That in Your Mouth by John

3362
01:56:21,360 --> 01:56:21,600
C.

3363
01:56:21,880 --> 01:56:22,360
Dvorak.

3364
01:56:23,100 --> 01:56:25,340
I still laugh when I see it.

3365
01:56:26,180 --> 01:56:29,200
And expertly done through the AI by Darren

3366
01:56:29,200 --> 01:56:29,760
O'Neill.

3367
01:56:30,620 --> 01:56:33,160
I think there were some other pieces because

3368
01:56:33,160 --> 01:56:35,400
at a certain point you said, ah, you

3369
01:56:35,400 --> 01:56:37,300
chose, I don't like it, I don't like

3370
01:56:37,300 --> 01:56:37,940
any of it.

3371
01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:40,740
But I liked the maple syrup on fire.

3372
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:42,600
Yeah, but that was a Molotov cocktail.

3373
01:56:42,600 --> 01:56:43,680
Which Darren also did.

3374
01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:48,480
Well, what we really discussed were the cobalt

3375
01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:49,000
t-shirts.

3376
01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:53,160
So for a long time, we talked about

3377
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:54,600
the cobalt knucklehead.

3378
01:56:55,120 --> 01:56:58,300
I personally liked the cobalt as for schmucks.

3379
01:56:59,020 --> 01:57:02,340
Yeah, but you violated your main rule.

3380
01:57:02,380 --> 01:57:04,080
It's too small, it was too small.

3381
01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:08,220
You liked the mastermind's unclipable wench, but I

3382
01:57:08,220 --> 01:57:11,780
thought that was too very, you also liked

3383
01:57:11,780 --> 01:57:12,480
the boobs.

3384
01:57:13,380 --> 01:57:15,640
Of course, there was a boobage there from

3385
01:57:15,640 --> 01:57:16,360
Scaramanga.

3386
01:57:16,960 --> 01:57:20,860
The booba bun with the girl riding the

3387
01:57:20,860 --> 01:57:23,520
bike on the pedal bike on the Autobahn.

3388
01:57:26,160 --> 01:57:28,180
You even said, oh, how about the Ferrari

3389
01:57:28,180 --> 01:57:29,160
in a country road?

3390
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:30,820
I mean, none of that was right.

3391
01:57:31,440 --> 01:57:33,860
We were, you were just grasping at straws.

3392
01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:36,980
And then- You make it sound like

3393
01:57:36,980 --> 01:57:37,680
I was a maniac.

3394
01:57:37,940 --> 01:57:38,460
A little bit.

3395
01:57:38,460 --> 01:57:41,360
And then we even discussed making cobalt for

3396
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:42,420
schmucks the title.

3397
01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:43,560
And then we went, you know, that's not

3398
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:44,260
a good idea.

3399
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:45,460
No.

3400
01:57:45,700 --> 01:57:47,280
I got a lot of feedback on the

3401
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:49,020
cobalt as expected.

3402
01:57:50,990 --> 01:57:54,700
Let me see, where is my cobalt?

3403
01:57:54,720 --> 01:57:55,100
Yes.

3404
01:57:56,060 --> 01:57:57,020
So two things.

3405
01:57:57,320 --> 01:58:01,660
One from John Daly says, yeah, it seems

3406
01:58:01,660 --> 01:58:04,040
obvious John's never seen cobalt.

3407
01:58:05,180 --> 01:58:07,500
The features of cobalt are straightforward.

3408
01:58:07,500 --> 01:58:07,740
Yes.

3409
01:58:07,920 --> 01:58:10,740
However, when you start talking about 5 million

3410
01:58:10,740 --> 01:58:13,200
lines of production cobalt, it's a nightmare.

3411
01:58:13,840 --> 01:58:16,360
The features of the language are limited which

3412
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:18,260
also makes it more difficult to do common

3413
01:58:18,260 --> 01:58:20,400
and important things, which creates a bloat.

3414
01:58:21,020 --> 01:58:24,260
So real world cobalt applications are not as

3415
01:58:24,260 --> 01:58:25,500
cool as Java.

3416
01:58:25,940 --> 01:58:30,060
For instance, who thinks Java is cool?

3417
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:32,240
Which has features to create a kind of

3418
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:35,280
language of structure that allows quick interpretation, learning

3419
01:58:35,280 --> 01:58:35,900
and modification.

3420
01:58:35,900 --> 01:58:40,000
Bad variable naming, poor algorithms, kludges, hacks, bad

3421
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:43,720
managerial input, all create bad unmaintainable code in

3422
01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:44,420
any language.

3423
01:58:44,900 --> 01:58:47,100
Cobalt is not simple in any real world

3424
01:58:47,100 --> 01:58:47,740
application.

3425
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:50,100
So he showed you then.

3426
01:58:50,280 --> 01:58:52,180
Yeah, he saw me, he's really accurate too.

3427
01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:54,040
Since I, when I had a company called

3428
01:58:54,040 --> 01:58:57,860
California software, I actually sold cobalt and they

3429
01:58:57,860 --> 01:58:59,840
will postgraduate school cobalt.

3430
01:58:59,960 --> 01:59:01,020
Well, you can sell a couple of copies.

3431
01:59:01,300 --> 01:59:02,440
You didn't code in it.

3432
01:59:03,380 --> 01:59:07,320
Plus beside, I did, I've never, he says,

3433
01:59:07,360 --> 01:59:09,180
I didn't, the way he put it, he

3434
01:59:09,180 --> 01:59:11,020
was like, I was oblivious to the whole

3435
01:59:11,020 --> 01:59:11,420
thing.

3436
01:59:12,080 --> 01:59:13,780
I used to sell the product.

3437
01:59:13,900 --> 01:59:14,740
That's the way I see it.

3438
01:59:14,780 --> 01:59:16,040
As far as I'm concerned, that gives me

3439
01:59:16,040 --> 01:59:16,940
some credibility.

3440
01:59:17,200 --> 01:59:17,520
Okay.

3441
01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:20,220
And then he says Java and he uses

3442
01:59:20,220 --> 01:59:23,500
Java as an example, not JavaScript, which is

3443
01:59:23,500 --> 01:59:24,840
not even really a language.

3444
01:59:24,980 --> 01:59:26,340
That's where his argument fell apart.

3445
01:59:27,860 --> 01:59:28,540
I agree.

3446
01:59:28,920 --> 01:59:34,560
But then interestingly, very good article in dev

3447
01:59:34,560 --> 01:59:38,680
.to, which is a nerd website about the

3448
01:59:38,680 --> 01:59:40,820
dates about May 20, 1875.

3449
01:59:41,220 --> 01:59:42,320
I think, did I send you that?

3450
01:59:42,420 --> 01:59:44,340
No, I sent it to you.

3451
01:59:44,820 --> 01:59:45,540
Oh, you sent it to me.

3452
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:46,300
Somebody sent it to you.

3453
01:59:46,400 --> 01:59:47,500
You sent it to me and I sent

3454
01:59:47,500 --> 01:59:48,080
it to, okay.

3455
01:59:48,180 --> 01:59:48,360
Yeah.

3456
01:59:48,540 --> 01:59:50,340
That turns out that's a big hoax.

3457
01:59:51,660 --> 01:59:52,640
Yeah, it's a hoax.

3458
01:59:53,040 --> 01:59:54,720
And that excellent article.

3459
01:59:54,760 --> 01:59:56,120
I think I posted it on Twitter.

3460
01:59:56,120 --> 01:59:57,860
If anyone follows my Twitter account to real

3461
01:59:57,860 --> 02:00:00,120
Dvorak, you'll find a link to it.

3462
02:00:00,420 --> 02:00:00,520
Yeah.

3463
02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:02,280
So I put it in the show notes.

3464
02:00:02,420 --> 02:00:05,260
So that really truly was a hack perpetuated

3465
02:00:05,260 --> 02:00:08,560
by NPR and that bogus lady on the

3466
02:00:08,560 --> 02:00:09,140
last show.

3467
02:00:09,460 --> 02:00:09,940
Yep.

3468
02:00:10,100 --> 02:00:11,880
Cause she acted like she knew exactly what

3469
02:00:11,880 --> 02:00:12,700
she was talking about.

3470
02:00:12,800 --> 02:00:13,860
And this is a hoax.

3471
02:00:14,760 --> 02:00:17,620
There's a very detailed article about this hoax.

3472
02:00:17,680 --> 02:00:18,840
So it's just not true.

3473
02:00:19,580 --> 02:00:20,880
It's not true that.

3474
02:00:21,140 --> 02:00:23,300
That was a fantastic article.

3475
02:00:23,460 --> 02:00:24,060
It's a great article.

3476
02:00:24,240 --> 02:00:24,520
Yes.

3477
02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:27,120
Anyway, thank you very much, Darren O'Neill.

3478
02:00:27,200 --> 02:00:27,800
Well deserved.

3479
02:00:28,440 --> 02:00:30,080
I mean, deserve, let's put it that way.

3480
02:00:30,200 --> 02:00:30,500
It's AI.

3481
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:31,300
So, okay.

3482
02:00:32,100 --> 02:00:33,500
Darren definitely has that down.

3483
02:00:33,740 --> 02:00:37,180
He and Scaramanga should start a company together.

3484
02:00:38,660 --> 02:00:39,380
AI art.

3485
02:00:39,960 --> 02:00:41,660
I'm just saying, it'd be a great idea.

3486
02:00:42,760 --> 02:00:43,100
So that's.

3487
02:00:43,180 --> 02:00:44,660
We have a lot of good AI.

3488
02:00:45,300 --> 02:00:45,780
We do.

3489
02:00:45,900 --> 02:00:46,060
Yeah.

3490
02:00:46,140 --> 02:00:46,360
We do.

3491
02:00:46,420 --> 02:00:48,540
Well, actually those two are amongst the top.

3492
02:00:48,540 --> 02:00:48,920
They're quite good.

3493
02:00:49,080 --> 02:00:49,880
They're good at that.

3494
02:00:50,420 --> 02:00:52,500
So that's the time and talent portion of

3495
02:00:52,500 --> 02:00:54,060
the value we like to receive back.

3496
02:00:54,060 --> 02:00:56,580
We always thank everybody who supports us financially.

3497
02:00:56,920 --> 02:00:58,680
$50 and over on every single show.

3498
02:00:59,160 --> 02:01:00,500
And at this point, we like to thank

3499
02:01:00,500 --> 02:01:02,380
our executive and associate executive producers.

3500
02:01:02,520 --> 02:01:04,480
If you support us with $200 or more,

3501
02:01:04,840 --> 02:01:07,240
you get the title of associate executive producer

3502
02:01:07,240 --> 02:01:09,500
that can be used anywhere that these Hollywood

3503
02:01:09,500 --> 02:01:13,160
style credits are accepted, including imdb.com.

3504
02:01:13,260 --> 02:01:15,400
And we'll read your note $300 and above.

3505
02:01:15,540 --> 02:01:17,160
We read your note and you get an

3506
02:01:17,160 --> 02:01:19,880
executive producer credit for this show.

3507
02:01:19,880 --> 02:01:21,960
And we kick it off right here in

3508
02:01:21,960 --> 02:01:24,060
Georgetown, Texas with Tom Anya.

3509
02:01:24,660 --> 02:01:26,960
And he sends us $500 and he says,

3510
02:01:27,540 --> 02:01:28,560
what does he say here?

3511
02:01:28,980 --> 02:01:31,380
He says, gentlemen, a de-douching and a

3512
02:01:31,380 --> 02:01:33,960
little camel karma would be much appreciated.

3513
02:01:35,700 --> 02:01:37,400
You've been de-douched.

3514
02:01:37,820 --> 02:01:39,840
I think he means yak.

3515
02:01:40,540 --> 02:01:42,080
And he says, if there are any fans

3516
02:01:42,080 --> 02:01:47,480
of watercolor out there, check out www.lanaya

3517
02:01:47,480 --> 02:01:51,100
.art. L-A-N-A-Y-A.art.

3518
02:01:51,100 --> 02:01:53,640
Thanks and regards, says Tom.

3519
02:01:53,800 --> 02:01:54,880
Here's your yak karma.

3520
02:01:55,180 --> 02:01:56,180
You've got karma.

3521
02:02:00,420 --> 02:02:02,480
I went and checked out the art.

3522
02:02:03,220 --> 02:02:04,000
And how is it?

3523
02:02:04,540 --> 02:02:06,400
This is his wife, I think, or his

3524
02:02:06,400 --> 02:02:07,760
sister, probably his wife.

3525
02:02:07,800 --> 02:02:08,480
I think it is his wife, yeah.

3526
02:02:10,020 --> 02:02:10,980
Excellent art.

3527
02:02:11,300 --> 02:02:13,400
Good, a lot of originals for about 350

3528
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:14,960
bucks, which is about what you want to

3529
02:02:14,960 --> 02:02:16,360
pay for a watercolor.

3530
02:02:16,740 --> 02:02:20,160
That's about, you know, 30 bucks for prints,

3531
02:02:20,160 --> 02:02:23,340
which if they're done well, might as well

3532
02:02:23,340 --> 02:02:24,000
be a watercolor.

3533
02:02:24,800 --> 02:02:25,340
Oh, I've seen these.

3534
02:02:25,680 --> 02:02:28,680
She's actually offered to send us a print,

3535
02:02:29,800 --> 02:02:31,880
which I think we said yes to because

3536
02:02:31,880 --> 02:02:32,640
it's cool.

3537
02:02:34,420 --> 02:02:36,740
And yes, and she does good work.

3538
02:02:37,020 --> 02:02:37,720
That's beautiful.

3539
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:40,260
And classic watercolor looking stuff.

3540
02:02:40,640 --> 02:02:41,880
Everyone should have at least two of her

3541
02:02:41,880 --> 02:02:42,280
pieces.

3542
02:02:42,700 --> 02:02:44,100
Everyone, and she does commissions.

3543
02:02:44,740 --> 02:02:45,380
She does commissions.

3544
02:02:46,200 --> 02:02:47,200
So we can have, we'd like to-

3545
02:02:47,200 --> 02:02:49,680
Yeah, her commissions are mostly portraits and pictures

3546
02:02:49,680 --> 02:02:50,260
of dogs.

3547
02:02:50,500 --> 02:02:51,300
Babies and dogs.

3548
02:02:51,560 --> 02:02:52,480
Babies and dogs.

3549
02:02:52,620 --> 02:02:54,860
I want a watercolor of my dog!

3550
02:02:55,360 --> 02:02:55,980
That's right.

3551
02:02:56,340 --> 02:02:57,240
That's about right.

3552
02:02:57,400 --> 02:02:57,800
That's right.

3553
02:02:58,480 --> 02:02:59,620
Thank you very much, Tom.

3554
02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:03,040
All right, next on the list is Daniel

3555
02:03:03,040 --> 02:03:07,760
Sean Gerald Morse in Spirit Lake, Iowa.

3556
02:03:08,320 --> 02:03:10,620
And he actually sent a note, and this

3557
02:03:10,620 --> 02:03:13,100
is pre-commodore off.

3558
02:03:13,480 --> 02:03:15,160
Yeah, actually, if Tom wants a commodore ship,

3559
02:03:15,220 --> 02:03:15,680
let us know.

3560
02:03:15,760 --> 02:03:17,420
We'll put you on the list as a

3561
02:03:17,420 --> 02:03:17,820
laggard.

3562
02:03:18,500 --> 02:03:20,940
But this guy came in earlier, but it

3563
02:03:20,940 --> 02:03:22,040
came in late, whatever.

3564
02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:24,460
He sent a bunch of, he sent a

3565
02:03:24,460 --> 02:03:26,540
care package with a bunch of beef jerky.

3566
02:03:26,760 --> 02:03:27,500
Oh, oh!

3567
02:03:27,980 --> 02:03:29,360
Any beef jerky for me?

3568
02:03:32,300 --> 02:03:34,040
Yeah, the rats ate yours.

3569
02:03:35,180 --> 02:03:36,060
Okay, thanks.

3570
02:03:36,960 --> 02:03:38,080
Didn't mean, you want some?

3571
02:03:38,260 --> 02:03:38,840
I think so.

3572
02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:39,840
I love beef jerky.

3573
02:03:40,140 --> 02:03:41,700
He sent two packs, so maybe.

3574
02:03:42,020 --> 02:03:42,400
Maybe.

3575
02:03:42,560 --> 02:03:44,080
He'd be glad to send you some straight

3576
02:03:44,080 --> 02:03:44,260
up.

3577
02:03:44,320 --> 02:03:47,100
Anyway, he's in Spirit Lake, Iowa, and he

3578
02:03:47,100 --> 02:03:49,840
sent a handwritten note, which says, please de

3579
02:03:49,840 --> 02:03:50,300
-douche me.

3580
02:03:50,580 --> 02:03:51,180
Yeah, we can do that.

3581
02:03:51,360 --> 02:03:52,280
De-douche me, de-douche me, de-douche

3582
02:03:52,280 --> 02:03:52,660
me, de-douche me.

3583
02:03:52,780 --> 02:03:54,560
You've been de-douched.

3584
02:03:55,400 --> 02:03:57,200
And then he has an on-air note,

3585
02:03:57,280 --> 02:03:59,020
just please de-douche me, and he's got

3586
02:03:59,020 --> 02:04:01,840
his commodore name as Daniel Sean Gerald Morse.

3587
02:04:02,200 --> 02:04:04,260
And then he has a bunch of off

3588
02:04:04,260 --> 02:04:05,780
-air stuff, which I won't read, because it's

3589
02:04:05,780 --> 02:04:06,280
off-air.

3590
02:04:06,600 --> 02:04:07,680
It's off-air, people.

3591
02:04:08,520 --> 02:04:10,200
But it involves beef jerky.

3592
02:04:10,260 --> 02:04:11,580
It's off-air.

3593
02:04:11,580 --> 02:04:11,860
Thanks.

3594
02:04:11,980 --> 02:04:12,640
It's off-air.

3595
02:04:13,120 --> 02:04:13,840
Thanks, Daniel.

3596
02:04:14,820 --> 02:04:18,800
Commodore, semi-anonymous vegan.

3597
02:04:19,500 --> 02:04:20,040
There we go.

3598
02:04:20,320 --> 02:04:22,980
Mill Park, Victoria, Australia.

3599
02:04:23,280 --> 02:04:24,080
Hello, Australia.

3600
02:04:24,660 --> 02:04:26,820
This is a $1,000 donation, but it

3601
02:04:26,820 --> 02:04:28,260
comes in as 319.

3602
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:29,880
I'm just kidding.

3603
02:04:31,620 --> 02:04:33,140
ITM, Adam, and John, I would like to

3604
02:04:33,140 --> 02:04:35,640
make this Commodore donation a switcheroo for my

3605
02:04:35,640 --> 02:04:37,880
new human resource to be known as Commodore

3606
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:38,620
Spooky.

3607
02:04:39,060 --> 02:04:40,040
All right, let me do that.

3608
02:04:40,040 --> 02:04:43,720
So this was 500 Australian dollarydoos, I guess.

3609
02:04:46,430 --> 02:04:47,350
Yeah, I guess so.

3610
02:04:47,570 --> 02:04:49,250
So he's not on the list, but why

3611
02:04:49,250 --> 02:04:50,130
don't you put him on there?

3612
02:04:50,230 --> 02:04:51,450
No, I think he is on the list.

3613
02:04:52,770 --> 02:04:54,110
I think there's only one on the list.

3614
02:04:54,150 --> 02:04:55,230
Well, let me check if that's him.

3615
02:04:55,350 --> 02:04:56,010
Let me just see.

3616
02:04:57,110 --> 02:04:58,430
Should be Morse on the list.

3617
02:04:59,530 --> 02:05:00,830
Morse is on the list, yeah.

3618
02:05:01,190 --> 02:05:04,650
Well, I'm sure that this was, I'm going

3619
02:05:04,650 --> 02:05:06,530
to put Commodore Spooky in there, because I'm

3620
02:05:06,530 --> 02:05:08,730
sure that this was $500 Australian.

3621
02:05:09,710 --> 02:05:11,430
And we do want to honor.

3622
02:05:11,970 --> 02:05:14,350
Yes, it's like 60 cents.

3623
02:05:14,730 --> 02:05:16,410
Wait until that stable coin comes out.

3624
02:05:16,490 --> 02:05:17,390
You guys are going to have to pay

3625
02:05:17,390 --> 02:05:18,010
up normal.

3626
02:05:18,870 --> 02:05:20,030
A de-douching, please.

3627
02:05:21,630 --> 02:05:23,430
You've been de-douched.

3628
02:05:24,110 --> 02:05:27,710
And a jingle from Elmer Fudd, who may

3629
02:05:27,710 --> 02:05:29,850
or may not still be the prime minister

3630
02:05:29,850 --> 02:05:33,070
of us here in Ozcom the 3rd of

3631
02:05:33,070 --> 02:05:33,370
May.

3632
02:05:33,530 --> 02:05:34,370
What does that mean?

3633
02:05:34,650 --> 02:05:37,510
Well, the election, I have the bonus clip

3634
02:05:37,510 --> 02:05:38,710
for the donation.

3635
02:05:38,710 --> 02:05:40,550
I have a bonus clip too, but if

3636
02:05:40,550 --> 02:05:42,150
you put an Elmer Fudd in there, we

3637
02:05:42,150 --> 02:05:43,310
can certainly play yours.

3638
02:05:43,890 --> 02:05:47,310
Oz News, Albanese has been reelected.

3639
02:05:47,510 --> 02:05:50,590
Days after Canada's general election resulted in a

3640
02:05:50,590 --> 02:05:54,090
left-leaning leader making an unexpected comeback because

3641
02:05:54,090 --> 02:05:56,870
of fears about President Trump's policies, the same

3642
02:05:56,870 --> 02:05:58,510
appears to have happened in Australia.

3643
02:05:59,030 --> 02:06:02,270
Incumbent Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was returned to

3644
02:06:02,270 --> 02:06:05,090
power with his Labour Party expanding its majority,

3645
02:06:05,410 --> 02:06:07,350
despite opinion polls at the start of the

3646
02:06:07,350 --> 02:06:10,070
year showing it trailing the centre-right Liberal

3647
02:06:10,070 --> 02:06:11,550
National Party coalition.

3648
02:06:12,150 --> 02:06:14,410
The opposition leader Peter Dutton, who'd been compared

3649
02:06:14,410 --> 02:06:17,030
to Donald Trump, lost the parliamentary seat he'd

3650
02:06:17,030 --> 02:06:18,590
held for more than two decades.

3651
02:06:19,090 --> 02:06:22,770
A jubilant Mr Albanese addressed his cheering supporters.

3652
02:06:23,170 --> 02:06:24,670
Be very, very quiet.

3653
02:06:24,950 --> 02:06:26,450
I'm hunting rabbits.

3654
02:06:29,870 --> 02:06:33,150
Okay, I get to play my Albanese clip

3655
02:06:33,150 --> 02:06:33,430
then.

3656
02:06:33,910 --> 02:06:37,090
Australia's centre-left Labour Party has secured a

3657
02:06:37,090 --> 02:06:39,890
second term in office in a landslide election

3658
02:06:39,890 --> 02:06:40,330
victory.

3659
02:06:40,810 --> 02:06:44,090
The country's incumbent Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is

3660
02:06:44,090 --> 02:06:45,690
now set to be in office for his

3661
02:06:45,690 --> 02:06:46,690
three-year term.

3662
02:06:47,030 --> 02:06:49,350
In his victory speech, he thanked voters for

3663
02:06:49,350 --> 02:06:52,190
choosing, quote, optimism and determination.

3664
02:06:52,610 --> 02:06:56,890
Today, the Australian people have voted for Australian

3665
02:06:56,890 --> 02:06:57,710
values.

3666
02:07:00,480 --> 02:07:05,980
For fairness, aspiration and opportunity for all.

3667
02:07:07,940 --> 02:07:09,340
Leader of the opposition coalition.

3668
02:07:10,840 --> 02:07:12,160
We both are so sick.

3669
02:07:12,280 --> 02:07:13,580
We have sick minds, people.

3670
02:07:14,420 --> 02:07:15,600
But at least we think alike.

3671
02:07:17,020 --> 02:07:18,920
Eli the coffee guy's up on the list.

3672
02:07:19,040 --> 02:07:20,500
No, yes he is.

3673
02:07:20,540 --> 02:07:20,880
You're right.

3674
02:07:20,980 --> 02:07:21,360
I'm sorry.

3675
02:07:21,620 --> 02:07:22,060
Go for it.

3676
02:07:22,120 --> 02:07:22,940
You're already there.

3677
02:07:23,100 --> 02:07:23,580
Yeah, that's crazy.

3678
02:07:23,580 --> 02:07:24,340
So this is a very short list.

3679
02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:25,920
Very short, very short.

3680
02:07:25,960 --> 02:07:28,320
Yeah, very short and crappy list today.

3681
02:07:28,400 --> 02:07:29,640
But okay, Eli's here.

3682
02:07:30,020 --> 02:07:33,340
And he came in from Bensonville, Illinois, 20504.

3683
02:07:33,920 --> 02:07:36,480
Thank you for the last show's breakdown of

3684
02:07:36,480 --> 02:07:37,980
the Eurodollar donation.

3685
02:07:39,900 --> 02:07:40,460
Eurodollar donation.

3686
02:07:40,460 --> 02:07:41,220
Eurodollar donation.

3687
02:07:41,500 --> 02:07:41,740
Yes.

3688
02:07:43,680 --> 02:07:46,600
It tied in well with Tucker Carlson's interview

3689
02:07:46,600 --> 02:07:47,920
with Catherine Fitz.

3690
02:07:48,020 --> 02:07:50,320
So I watched that entire, I listened to

3691
02:07:50,320 --> 02:07:53,440
that entire interview and I've heard a lot

3692
02:07:53,440 --> 02:07:57,060
of Catherine Fitz and it always ends with

3693
02:07:57,060 --> 02:07:57,340
this.

3694
02:07:58,280 --> 02:08:00,660
I don't know who Mr. Globalization is.

3695
02:08:01,240 --> 02:08:02,820
It's always the same.

3696
02:08:03,140 --> 02:08:04,760
She has been doing, and not that she's

3697
02:08:04,760 --> 02:08:06,400
full of crap, but she's been doing this

3698
02:08:06,400 --> 02:08:08,900
same thing for a decade.

3699
02:08:09,360 --> 02:08:10,480
I can't watch her.

3700
02:08:11,120 --> 02:08:13,460
The interview is worth a listen, but there

3701
02:08:13,460 --> 02:08:15,580
is a lot to unpack.

3702
02:08:16,260 --> 02:08:19,720
As she put it, they are building a

3703
02:08:19,720 --> 02:08:23,100
prison around us using the control mechanisms like

3704
02:08:23,100 --> 02:08:24,620
digitized currency.

3705
02:08:25,320 --> 02:08:28,100
To what end is to be determined?

3706
02:08:28,500 --> 02:08:31,080
But she has some interesting theories.

3707
02:08:32,760 --> 02:08:34,720
In my opinion, she's got nothing.

3708
02:08:35,280 --> 02:08:38,960
At Gigawatt, we still taste good old-fashioned

3709
02:08:38,960 --> 02:08:43,320
Fiat USD, or we still take dollars.

3710
02:08:44,220 --> 02:08:48,340
So visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use code ITM20

3711
02:08:48,340 --> 02:08:49,960
for a quality bag of coffee at a

3712
02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:50,440
good price.

3713
02:08:51,180 --> 02:08:53,520
Stay caffeinated, says Eli the coffee guy.

3714
02:08:53,840 --> 02:08:54,980
All right, thank you, Eli.

3715
02:08:55,340 --> 02:08:58,300
Brett Carothers, Carothers, Carothers?

3716
02:08:59,740 --> 02:09:00,300
Carothers.

3717
02:09:00,500 --> 02:09:02,300
Carothers, oh, that makes sense, Carothers.

3718
02:09:02,740 --> 02:09:04,040
Nanaimo, British Columbia.

3719
02:09:04,800 --> 02:09:06,900
Canada, hello, Canada.

3720
02:09:07,220 --> 02:09:08,380
Hello, Canada.

3721
02:09:08,620 --> 02:09:12,180
$200.37, this is a switcheroo donation from

3722
02:09:12,180 --> 02:09:13,840
my smoking hot wife, Brittany.

3723
02:09:14,100 --> 02:09:15,840
So let me make sure we put Brittany

3724
02:09:15,840 --> 02:09:17,420
in there, from Brett to Brittany.

3725
02:09:18,100 --> 02:09:19,920
That's not a problem, okay.

3726
02:09:20,660 --> 02:09:22,440
Brett to Brittany, consider it done.

3727
02:09:22,820 --> 02:09:26,760
She celebrates her 37th birthday on Sunday, show

3728
02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:29,300
day, and may the fourth be with you.

3729
02:09:29,860 --> 02:09:31,700
She is the glowing light in our life.

3730
02:09:31,700 --> 02:09:34,860
Meadow, Hollandaise, and I are grateful for your

3731
02:09:34,860 --> 02:09:36,080
shining down.

3732
02:09:36,240 --> 02:09:37,020
Please de-douche.

3733
02:09:38,660 --> 02:09:40,600
You've been de-douched.

3734
02:09:40,680 --> 02:09:43,600
So they have a daughter named Meadow and

3735
02:09:43,600 --> 02:09:45,160
a daughter named Hollandaise.

3736
02:09:45,900 --> 02:09:47,720
That's an interesting choice of name.

3737
02:09:47,880 --> 02:09:48,400
Hollandaise.

3738
02:09:48,540 --> 02:09:50,940
Holla, yeah, Hollandaise, yeah.

3739
02:09:51,820 --> 02:09:53,560
As a Vancouver Island- Let's be a

3740
02:09:53,560 --> 02:09:54,280
saucy girl.

3741
02:09:54,660 --> 02:09:55,760
Yeah, there it is.

3742
02:09:55,800 --> 02:09:58,420
As a Vancouver Island arborist, life is grand

3743
02:09:58,420 --> 02:09:59,000
in the trees.

3744
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:01,300
I love my wood chipper and I love

3745
02:10:01,300 --> 02:10:01,940
what I do.

3746
02:10:02,480 --> 02:10:04,420
Hey, you need to get this guy, you

3747
02:10:04,420 --> 02:10:05,820
need to get him over to your place.

3748
02:10:05,980 --> 02:10:07,840
Hey, it's already taken care of.

3749
02:10:07,940 --> 02:10:09,080
Oh, you got the arborist coming?

3750
02:10:09,980 --> 02:10:11,740
No, he came last Saturday.

3751
02:10:11,940 --> 02:10:14,340
The tree is back to, the tree is

3752
02:10:14,340 --> 02:10:15,760
a completely different looking tree.

3753
02:10:15,940 --> 02:10:17,460
I don't know why you needed an arborist.

3754
02:10:17,480 --> 02:10:18,900
You just needed a saw.

3755
02:10:19,120 --> 02:10:21,200
No, no, but you would just, no, they

3756
02:10:21,200 --> 02:10:22,540
had, this tree is huge.

3757
02:10:23,040 --> 02:10:25,120
The trunk of this oak tree is about

3758
02:10:25,120 --> 02:10:25,800
a yard.

3759
02:10:26,020 --> 02:10:27,700
Yeah, but you didn't chop down the tree.

3760
02:10:27,700 --> 02:10:28,960
The tree was just a branch.

3761
02:10:29,640 --> 02:10:32,060
No, no, you just shot, that would be

3762
02:10:32,060 --> 02:10:32,740
a disaster.

3763
02:10:32,980 --> 02:10:35,300
You had, the tree has been reformed.

3764
02:10:35,320 --> 02:10:35,520
Oh.

3765
02:10:35,820 --> 02:10:37,820
He's an arborist, he's not a hatchet man.

3766
02:10:38,580 --> 02:10:40,880
John, please consider this partial payment for your

3767
02:10:40,880 --> 02:10:43,440
window clearance pruning and just know I would

3768
02:10:43,440 --> 02:10:45,340
never have rescheduled on you.

3769
02:10:45,880 --> 02:10:48,080
And he goes on to say, for all

3770
02:10:48,080 --> 02:10:51,440

Phoenix, Arizona, $200, our last associate executive producer.

3799
02:12:04,460 --> 02:12:06,560
This is my first donation since my dad

3800
02:12:06,560 --> 02:12:08,020
hit me in the mouth in 2021.

3801
02:12:09,020 --> 02:12:11,060
So I believe a de-douching is in

3802
02:12:11,060 --> 02:12:11,280
order.

3803
02:12:11,380 --> 02:12:12,100
I think you're right.

3804
02:12:13,700 --> 02:12:15,420
You've been de-douched.

I am very blessed to have parents.

3806
02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:19,080
The ones that I have, I couldn't have

3807
02:12:19,080 --> 02:12:19,780
asked for better.

3808
02:12:19,780 --> 02:12:22,880
Happy 49th birthday, mom and dad, please put

A family that no agendas together stays together.

3814
02:12:33,340 --> 02:12:35,360
It's a fact, look it up on Wikipedia.

3815
02:12:36,680 --> 02:12:38,600
And with that, we conclude our executive and

3816
02:12:38,600 --> 02:12:39,720
associate executive producers.

3817
02:12:39,880 --> 02:12:42,780

3835
02:13:17,220 --> 02:13:19,120
And thank you again to the executive and

3836
02:13:19,120 --> 02:13:20,120
associate executive producers.

3837
02:13:20,120 --> 02:13:21,440
Our formula is this.

3838
02:13:23,270 --> 02:13:24,730
We hit people in the mouth.

3839
02:13:28,330 --> 02:13:28,550
You.

3840
02:13:29,750 --> 02:13:30,750
What up?

3841
02:13:31,790 --> 02:13:32,830
What up?

3842
02:13:33,150 --> 02:13:34,310
Shut up, slave.

3843
02:13:35,370 --> 02:13:37,230
Shut up, slave.

3844
02:13:41,170 --> 02:13:44,770
So, as we were talking earlier, it's obvious

3845
02:13:44,770 --> 02:13:49,490
that the machine, the machine, which is mainly

3846
02:13:49,490 --> 02:13:52,730
media and all the money that comes in

3847
02:13:52,730 --> 02:13:57,830
from pharmaceutical and big food and everybody, they're

3848
02:13:57,830 --> 02:13:59,870
gonna start really hitting hard at Trump.

3849
02:14:00,990 --> 02:14:03,070
I think we're gonna see 100 days of

3850
02:14:03,070 --> 02:14:03,870
craziness.

3851
02:14:05,070 --> 02:14:06,710
And they- Yeah, they have to.

3852
02:14:06,830 --> 02:14:07,190
Yes.

3853
02:14:07,750 --> 02:14:09,350
We're starting to see the beginning of it

3854
02:14:09,350 --> 02:14:10,110
with Hotez.

3855
02:14:10,430 --> 02:14:10,770
Yeah.

3856
02:14:11,150 --> 02:14:14,110
Well, there's also, and I always thought this

3857
02:14:14,110 --> 02:14:17,970
was a mistake on the president's part, but

3858
02:14:17,970 --> 02:14:21,410
now they're going after World Liberty Financial.

3859
02:14:22,730 --> 02:14:24,770
World Liberty Financial.

3860
02:14:25,070 --> 02:14:28,390
Both ABC and CBS did big pieces on

3861
02:14:28,390 --> 02:14:30,850
them because this is clear corruption.

3862
02:14:31,850 --> 02:14:34,930
When Donald Trump was campaigning for reelection, he

3863
02:14:34,930 --> 02:14:37,230
was also campaigning for cryptocurrency.

3864
02:14:37,910 --> 02:14:38,610
Big news.

3865
02:14:38,970 --> 02:14:41,610
The World Liberty Financial token sale is now

3866
02:14:41,610 --> 02:14:42,090
live.

3867
02:14:42,550 --> 02:14:43,730
Crypto is the future.

3868
02:14:43,730 --> 02:14:47,370
World Liberty Financial is a digital currency platform

3869
02:14:47,370 --> 02:14:50,930
that says it's inspired by President Trump, but

3870
02:14:50,930 --> 02:14:52,370
it's more than inspired.

3871
02:14:52,830 --> 02:14:55,610
A company affiliated with the Trump family owns

3872
02:14:55,610 --> 02:14:57,430
a 60% stake.

3873
02:14:57,970 --> 02:15:02,670
We believe that his crypto assets are as

3874
02:15:02,670 --> 02:15:04,030
much as $2.9 billion.

3875
02:15:04,650 --> 02:15:07,650
Virginia Cantor has overseen ethics rules as a

3876
02:15:07,650 --> 02:15:10,610
senior government lawyer in both Democratic and Republican

3877
02:15:10,610 --> 02:15:11,810
administrations.

3878
02:15:12,210 --> 02:15:14,150
President Trump has sold stakes.

3879
02:15:14,650 --> 02:15:17,270
He sold gold sneakers, Bibles.

3880
02:15:17,710 --> 02:15:18,850
How is this any different?

3881
02:15:19,530 --> 02:15:22,230
At least those had some intrinsic value.

3882
02:15:22,490 --> 02:15:24,890
This is like a perfect vehicle to funnel

3883
02:15:24,890 --> 02:15:28,470
money to him and his family to enrich

3884
02:15:28,470 --> 02:15:28,850
them.

3885
02:15:31,070 --> 02:15:35,150
So World Liberty Financial, and I haven't done

3886
02:15:35,150 --> 02:15:39,730
a deep dive on them, but what it

3887
02:15:39,730 --> 02:15:41,830
appears, and there's two different things.

3888
02:15:41,950 --> 02:15:44,670
There's the meme coin and then there's World

3889
02:15:44,670 --> 02:15:45,250
Liberty Financial.

3890
02:15:45,530 --> 02:15:46,430
I don't even know if the two are

3891
02:15:46,430 --> 02:15:46,870
connected.

3892
02:15:47,410 --> 02:15:48,990
The meme coin is just dumb.

3893
02:15:49,130 --> 02:15:49,930
That was the mistake.

3894
02:15:50,050 --> 02:15:51,630
He never should have done it, been Melania

3895
02:15:51,630 --> 02:15:52,230
meme coin.

3896
02:15:52,250 --> 02:15:53,510
I don't know if he was even involved

3897
02:15:53,510 --> 02:15:54,850
in it, but that was annoying.

3898
02:15:57,370 --> 02:16:00,290
But this World Liberty Financial, it will be

3899
02:16:00,290 --> 02:16:03,750
a lending, as I understand it, you will

3900
02:16:03,750 --> 02:16:07,550
be able to borrow money at very competitive

3901
02:16:07,550 --> 02:16:11,530
rates and you'll have different types of collateral,

3902
02:16:11,770 --> 02:16:15,490
which could be Bitcoin, stable coin, who knows,

3903
02:16:15,650 --> 02:16:17,370
Dogecoin, who knows what it is.

3904
02:16:17,830 --> 02:16:20,090
I'll dive into that deeper, but this is

3905
02:16:20,090 --> 02:16:21,750
the attack vector on the president.

3906
02:16:22,030 --> 02:16:24,330
And honestly, I think it's rightly so.

3907
02:16:24,630 --> 02:16:26,570
This was a huge, dumb move.

3908
02:16:26,850 --> 02:16:29,970
World Liberty says it's raised more than $550

3909
02:16:29,970 --> 02:16:30,330
million.

3910
02:16:31,010 --> 02:16:33,410
And this week it announced it received a

3911
02:16:33,410 --> 02:16:37,209
new $2 billion investment from an Abu Dhabi

3912
02:16:37,209 --> 02:16:37,670
company.

3913
02:16:37,670 --> 02:16:40,629
How much the Trump family stands to benefit

3914
02:16:40,629 --> 02:16:41,549
is unknown.

3915
02:16:42,250 --> 02:16:45,930
Another investor is Justin Sun, the eccentric Chinese

3916
02:16:45,930 --> 02:16:49,090
billionaire, perhaps best known for buying.

3917
02:16:49,590 --> 02:16:52,190
It's yours, congratulations, thank you very much indeed.

3918
02:16:52,709 --> 02:16:56,709
And then eating a $6.2 million banana

3919
02:16:56,709 --> 02:16:58,709
duct taped to a wall.

3920
02:16:59,129 --> 02:17:04,910
Back in 2023, President Biden's SEC charged Sun

3921
02:17:04,910 --> 02:17:06,090
with securities fraud.

3922
02:17:06,549 --> 02:17:10,730
After Trump's reelection, Sun announced a $75 million

3923
02:17:10,730 --> 02:17:13,490
investment in World Liberty Financial.

3924
02:17:14,150 --> 02:17:17,450
And just five weeks later, federal prosecutors asked

3925
02:17:17,450 --> 02:17:20,870
the judge to pause the Sun investigation, citing

3926
02:17:20,870 --> 02:17:22,209
public interest.

3927
02:17:22,570 --> 02:17:25,150
A CBS News analysis shows that the government

3928
02:17:25,150 --> 02:17:28,110
has dropped a dozen cases against crypto firms

3929
02:17:28,110 --> 02:17:29,170
since January.

3930
02:17:29,750 --> 02:17:32,110
Sun is one of more than 85,000

3931
02:17:32,110 --> 02:17:34,309
investors in World Liberty so far.

3932
02:17:34,309 --> 02:17:37,110
Most are unnamed and unknown.

3933
02:17:37,590 --> 02:17:40,430
Unnamed, unknown, they're funneling money to the president

3934
02:17:40,430 --> 02:17:42,350
for all kinds of favors.

3935
02:17:42,590 --> 02:17:45,469
Although what they don't really mention here is

3936
02:17:45,469 --> 02:17:47,930
that these were really dumb, bogus lawsuits.

3937
02:17:49,270 --> 02:17:51,730
And the rules change, so that's why the

3938
02:17:51,730 --> 02:17:52,590
lawsuits were dropped.

3939
02:17:52,709 --> 02:17:55,350
Here's the final clip from CBS.

3940
02:17:55,490 --> 02:17:57,230
We've got the president of the United States'

3941
02:17:57,430 --> 02:18:00,450
firstborn, Donald Trump Jr. At a crypto industry

3942
02:18:00,450 --> 02:18:03,510
conference in Washington in March, the founders of

3943
02:18:03,510 --> 02:18:06,990
World Liberty Financial promoted the company, along with

3944
02:18:06,990 --> 02:18:08,270
the president's son.

3945
02:18:08,549 --> 02:18:10,570
I'm just super excited about what this can

3946
02:18:10,570 --> 02:18:10,990
mean.

3947
02:18:11,549 --> 02:18:13,309
This guy is an attack vector.

3948
02:18:13,910 --> 02:18:15,590
For the future of banking, for the future

3949
02:18:15,590 --> 02:18:16,830
of the financial systems.

3950
02:18:16,910 --> 02:18:17,410
Hold on, stop.

3951
02:18:17,410 --> 02:18:18,250
CBS News.

3952
02:18:19,799 --> 02:18:21,500
Back it up and start him again, and

3953
02:18:21,500 --> 02:18:24,139
start to think, who does he sound like?

3954
02:18:24,820 --> 02:18:26,860
He sounds like Zuckerberg.

3955
02:18:27,040 --> 02:18:27,459
Ooh.

3956
02:18:27,860 --> 02:18:29,559
For the future of banking, for the future.

3957
02:18:29,559 --> 02:18:30,920
Wait, let me back him up a little

3958
02:18:30,920 --> 02:18:31,219
more.

3959
02:18:31,820 --> 02:18:32,860
For the future of the financial.

3960
02:18:35,299 --> 02:18:37,680
I'm just super excited about what this can

3961
02:18:37,680 --> 02:18:38,080
mean.

3962
02:18:38,700 --> 02:18:39,200
Completely.

3963
02:18:39,920 --> 02:18:42,059
He's hanging out in Silicon Valley too much.

3964
02:18:42,160 --> 02:18:42,799
He's in the milieu.

3965
02:18:43,040 --> 02:18:45,240
There's something going on with the milieu, because

3966
02:18:45,240 --> 02:18:47,580
that is a very distinctive sound.

3967
02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:48,920
Completely agree.

3968
02:18:49,120 --> 02:18:51,160
I'm just super excited about what this can

3969
02:18:51,160 --> 02:18:53,639
mean for the future of banking, for the

3970
02:18:53,639 --> 02:18:55,100
future of the financial systems.

3971
02:18:55,420 --> 02:18:56,219
CBS News.

3972
02:18:56,320 --> 02:18:58,459
We tried to approach the World Liberty team,

3973
02:18:58,600 --> 02:19:01,280
but they have declined our multiple requests for

3974
02:19:01,280 --> 02:19:01,879
an interview.

3975
02:19:02,860 --> 02:19:05,740
World Liberty did not respond to questions about

3976
02:19:05,740 --> 02:19:08,120
the potential profits for the Trump family.

3977
02:19:08,480 --> 02:19:10,240
In a statement, they said the Abu Dhabi

3978
02:19:10,240 --> 02:19:13,219
company's investment sets a historic precedent.

3979
02:19:13,680 --> 02:19:16,379
The SEC, Justin Sun, and the Trump organization

3980
02:19:16,379 --> 02:19:18,280
did not respond to our questions.

3981
02:19:18,719 --> 02:19:20,920
And the White House said, report on something

3982
02:19:20,920 --> 02:19:22,360
people actually care about.

3983
02:19:22,900 --> 02:19:25,379
So ABC had pretty much the same report,

3984
02:19:25,480 --> 02:19:27,260
and I'll only play the clip that was

3985
02:19:27,260 --> 02:19:27,660
relevant.

3986
02:19:27,780 --> 02:19:29,760
By the way, Elizabeth Warren is heading up

3987
02:19:29,760 --> 02:19:30,320
a lot of this.

3988
02:19:30,959 --> 02:19:37,080
Elizabeth Warren, I think she probably represents old

3989
02:19:37,080 --> 02:19:40,240
school banks, maybe City of London.

3990
02:19:40,500 --> 02:19:40,940
I don't know.

3991
02:19:41,840 --> 02:19:44,719
She's not just outraged because she's outraged.

3992
02:19:44,820 --> 02:19:47,320
She has big financial backers.

3993
02:19:47,840 --> 02:19:49,360
Liz is in all kinds of stuff.

3994
02:19:49,440 --> 02:19:51,340
And we saw that with the over-the

3995
02:19:51,340 --> 02:19:54,400
-counter hearing aids.

3996
02:19:55,000 --> 02:19:58,160
If anyone is quote-unquote corrupt, I'd pin

3997
02:19:58,160 --> 02:19:58,720
that on her.

3998
02:19:58,720 --> 02:20:01,040
But here's the kicker from ABC.

3999
02:20:01,320 --> 02:20:02,960
The White House telling ABC News in a

4000
02:20:02,960 --> 02:20:05,280
statement, in part, President Trump's assets are in

4001
02:20:05,280 --> 02:20:07,440
a trust managed by his children, and there

4002
02:20:07,440 --> 02:20:08,940
are no conflicts of interest.

4003
02:20:09,140 --> 02:20:11,340
President Trump campaigned on being a champion for

4004
02:20:11,340 --> 02:20:13,740
the crypto community, and he has taken significant

4005
02:20:13,740 --> 02:20:14,740
steps to do that.

4006
02:20:15,100 --> 02:20:17,600
World Liberty Financial has also announced plans to

4007
02:20:17,600 --> 02:20:20,460
launch a stablecoin, a cryptocurrency pegged to the

4008
02:20:20,460 --> 02:20:21,080
US dollar.

4009
02:20:21,480 --> 02:20:24,540
The company has reportedly sold $2 billion worth,

4010
02:20:24,780 --> 02:20:27,260
with a Trump family entity receiving a 75

4011
02:20:27,260 --> 02:20:29,180
% cut of every sale.

4012
02:20:29,320 --> 02:20:31,260
And at the same time, Trump's White House

4013
02:20:31,260 --> 02:20:34,780
pushed for new policies that directly impact stablecoins.

4014
02:20:35,000 --> 02:20:37,720
I've also called on Congress to pass landmark

4015
02:20:37,720 --> 02:20:42,320
legislation creating simple, common sense rules for stablecoins.

4016
02:20:42,440 --> 02:20:44,320
If Congress does what Trump wants, it could

4017
02:20:44,320 --> 02:20:48,000
help further legitimize cryptocurrency, and he says expand

4018
02:20:48,000 --> 02:20:49,680
the dominance of the US dollar.

4019
02:20:49,980 --> 02:20:51,760
Just this week at a conference in Dubai

4020
02:20:51,760 --> 02:20:54,480
attended by Eric Trump, World Liberty Financial announced

4021
02:20:54,480 --> 02:20:57,060
a $2 billion investment from the United Arab

4022
02:20:57,060 --> 02:20:59,120
Emirates to use the company's stablecoin.

4023
02:20:59,500 --> 02:21:02,800
Binance and the foreign investment firm are going

4024
02:21:02,800 --> 02:21:07,160
to use Donald Trump's stablecoin to finance their

4025
02:21:07,160 --> 02:21:12,080
transaction, essentially giving Trump a cut of that

4026
02:21:12,080 --> 02:21:13,520
$2 billion deal.

4027
02:21:14,220 --> 02:21:17,520
Boy, looks like corruption, smells like corruption.

4028
02:21:20,960 --> 02:21:22,860
Stablecoin, baby, it's the future.

4029
02:21:23,840 --> 02:21:25,400
It's coming, it's coming.

4030
02:21:26,260 --> 02:21:30,060
There's the exit strategy that President Trump set

4031
02:21:30,060 --> 02:21:31,520
up for himself.

4032
02:21:32,540 --> 02:21:33,160
Stablecoin exit.

4033
02:21:33,160 --> 02:21:34,500
Well, if it was all in a blind

4034
02:21:34,500 --> 02:21:36,000
trust, he didn't set up anything.

4035
02:21:36,140 --> 02:21:36,460
Well, no.

4036
02:21:36,560 --> 02:21:38,820
It's Donald Jr. doing all the hard lifting.

4037
02:21:39,000 --> 02:21:41,980
You mean Donald Zuckerberg Jr.?

4038
02:21:41,980 --> 02:21:43,040
Donald Zuckerberg.

4039
02:21:44,760 --> 02:21:47,440
And for Elizabeth Warren, you know, to jump

4040
02:21:47,440 --> 02:21:50,100
in, oh, looks and smells like corruption, okay.

4041
02:21:50,840 --> 02:21:52,780
Where'd all of her wealth come from out

4042
02:21:52,780 --> 02:21:53,280
of the blue?

4043
02:21:53,760 --> 02:21:54,040
Yeah.

4044
02:21:54,220 --> 02:21:54,680
Magic?

4045
02:21:55,480 --> 02:21:55,960
Magic.

4046
02:21:57,360 --> 02:22:01,120
Well, I question the Trump makes 75%.

4047
02:22:01,120 --> 02:22:02,420
Oh, no, that's not true.

4048
02:22:02,420 --> 02:22:03,400
How does that even work?

4049
02:22:03,460 --> 02:22:05,060
It wouldn't make any sense whatsoever.

4050
02:22:05,300 --> 02:22:06,140
It's idiotic.

4051
02:22:06,300 --> 02:22:08,660
But this- Maybe, what's probably, there's probably,

4052
02:22:08,840 --> 02:22:11,520
I would guess that there would be a

4053
02:22:11,520 --> 02:22:15,280
percentage of some transaction fee of 0.75,

4054
02:22:15,540 --> 02:22:18,320
as somebody saw, 0.75 is 75%.

4055
02:22:18,320 --> 02:22:18,780
Yeah.

4056
02:22:19,220 --> 02:22:21,260
No, I'm with you, that's bull crap.

4057
02:22:21,940 --> 02:22:23,500
But- So that's just poor reporting.

4058
02:22:23,500 --> 02:22:25,520
But it's a beautiful system.

4059
02:22:25,680 --> 02:22:29,220
You buy treasuries, you get your 4%, and

4060
02:22:29,220 --> 02:22:30,820
then you make stable coin, and you get

4061
02:22:30,820 --> 02:22:32,700
a transaction fee on top of it.

4062
02:22:34,000 --> 02:22:35,920
What are we doing this podcast for?

4063
02:22:35,960 --> 02:22:38,140
We should be buying treasuries, making stable coins.

4064
02:22:39,180 --> 02:22:41,700
Weren't you involved in some Dutch coin of

4065
02:22:41,700 --> 02:22:43,060
some sort some years back?

4066
02:22:43,120 --> 02:22:44,460
Oh, yeah, that was a shit coin.

4067
02:22:44,820 --> 02:22:45,980
That, you know what?

4068
02:22:46,060 --> 02:22:47,060
I got lucky.

4069
02:22:48,620 --> 02:22:49,680
God protected me.

4070
02:22:49,680 --> 02:22:52,220
That was just one of those, you know,

4071
02:22:52,300 --> 02:22:53,960
ICO scams.

4072
02:22:54,440 --> 02:22:55,140
Was it a scam?

4073
02:22:55,740 --> 02:22:58,200
Well, I mean, it was an initial coin

4074
02:22:58,200 --> 02:23:01,220
offering, which people like Snoop Dogg and Kim

4075
02:23:01,220 --> 02:23:03,800
Kardashian, they've had to pay millions of dollars

4076
02:23:03,800 --> 02:23:04,440
in fines.

4077
02:23:05,220 --> 02:23:06,700
Yeah, it could have happened to you.

4078
02:23:06,820 --> 02:23:09,200
Yes, yes, I- Why didn't it?

4079
02:23:09,400 --> 02:23:12,460
Because those guys couldn't get their crap together,

4080
02:23:12,600 --> 02:23:14,160
and they didn't figure it out in time.

4081
02:23:14,180 --> 02:23:15,840
You couldn't get the scam off the ground?

4082
02:23:15,960 --> 02:23:17,920
You saved your bacon?

4083
02:23:17,940 --> 02:23:19,100
Yes, big time.

4084
02:23:19,100 --> 02:23:19,980
I'm thankful.

4085
02:23:20,700 --> 02:23:23,480
Thank you, Jesus, you saved me, yes.

4086
02:23:23,920 --> 02:23:27,020
It would have been a nightmare, because I

4087
02:23:27,020 --> 02:23:28,840
was the Kim Kardashian of this coin.

4088
02:23:29,780 --> 02:23:31,040
Oh, there's an ISO for you.

4089
02:23:32,460 --> 02:23:35,580
I was the Kim Kardashian, without the big

4090
02:23:35,580 --> 02:23:36,000
butt.

4091
02:23:36,380 --> 02:23:37,220
Or the money.

4092
02:23:38,340 --> 02:23:39,300
Or the money, yeah.

4093
02:23:40,900 --> 02:23:42,320
Let's go to TDS.

4094
02:23:42,620 --> 02:23:44,860
Big thing, Trent de la Ragua.

4095
02:23:44,960 --> 02:23:48,020
I think they're onto something here.

4096
02:23:48,020 --> 02:23:48,500
Okay.

4097
02:23:49,300 --> 02:23:50,840
It's not a big deal, but it's a

4098
02:23:50,840 --> 02:23:51,920
big enough deal that I think they can

4099
02:23:51,920 --> 02:23:53,560
make some inroads and go after Trump with

4100
02:23:53,560 --> 02:23:53,740
this.

4101
02:23:53,920 --> 02:23:57,020
This is a PBS report on TDA, the

4102
02:23:57,020 --> 02:23:57,980
guys they've locked up.

4103
02:23:58,280 --> 02:24:01,880
In March, in order to speedily deport 238

4104
02:24:01,880 --> 02:24:05,280
Venezuelan men under an 18th century law, President

4105
02:24:05,280 --> 02:24:08,420
Trump declared- Under an 18th century law,

4106
02:24:08,740 --> 02:24:12,580
unlike our 18th century constitution, which you always

4107
02:24:12,580 --> 02:24:13,820
tout your First Amendment.

4108
02:24:14,180 --> 02:24:17,060
With 38 Venezuelan men under an 18th century

4109
02:24:17,060 --> 02:24:19,740
law, President Trump declared many of them to

4110
02:24:19,740 --> 02:24:21,140
be alien enemies.

4111
02:24:21,280 --> 02:24:25,080
He claimed there were members of a transnational

4112
02:24:25,080 --> 02:24:28,440
criminal organization called Trent de la Ragua, which

4113
02:24:28,440 --> 02:24:32,140
he said was conducting irregular warfare and undertaking

4114
02:24:32,140 --> 02:24:34,380
hostile actions against the United States.

4115
02:24:34,500 --> 02:24:37,220
But a New York Times investigation couldn't find

4116
02:24:37,220 --> 02:24:39,460
any evidence linking many of the men to

4117
02:24:39,460 --> 02:24:40,080
that gang.

4118
02:24:40,600 --> 02:24:43,660
Ali Rogin spoke with Julie Turkowitz, the Times

4119
02:24:43,660 --> 02:24:46,660
-Andes bureau chief based in Bogota, Colombia, and

4120
02:24:46,660 --> 02:24:48,520
the lead reporter on that investigation.

4121
02:24:49,100 --> 02:24:50,540
Thank you so much for joining us.

4122
02:24:50,620 --> 02:24:53,060
In your investigation for how many of these

4123
02:24:53,060 --> 02:24:57,240
238 men did you find connections to Trent

4124
02:24:57,240 --> 02:24:58,520
de la Ragua and how did you go

4125
02:24:58,520 --> 02:24:59,900
about making those determinations?

4126
02:25:00,280 --> 02:25:05,780
We spent a couple of weeks doing record

4127
02:25:05,780 --> 02:25:10,740
searches in the US, in Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador,

4128
02:25:11,060 --> 02:25:12,000
Chile, Colombia.

4129
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:15,580
And what we found is that of the

4130
02:25:15,580 --> 02:25:20,340
238 individuals sent on March 15th to a

4131
02:25:20,340 --> 02:25:24,300
prison in El Salvador, 32 of them appeared

4132
02:25:24,300 --> 02:25:27,120
to have some kind of serious criminal record.

4133
02:25:27,540 --> 02:25:31,440
An even smaller number, just a handful, appeared

4134
02:25:31,440 --> 02:25:36,960
to have some possible connection to this gang,

4135
02:25:37,120 --> 02:25:37,740
Trent de la Ragua.

4136
02:25:37,740 --> 02:25:41,520
And this is reporting to the best of

4137
02:25:41,520 --> 02:25:45,520
our abilities, barring any real information from the

4138
02:25:45,520 --> 02:25:46,280
Trump administration.

4139
02:25:48,160 --> 02:25:48,620
Interesting.

4140
02:25:49,180 --> 02:25:50,700
First of all, if you're in the country

4141
02:25:50,700 --> 02:25:51,940
legally, you're a criminal.

4142
02:25:53,140 --> 02:25:57,640
I was hearing on NPR the other day

4143
02:25:57,640 --> 02:26:02,920
that they're using Palantir to find these people,

4144
02:26:04,140 --> 02:26:07,820
which by itself is concerning because yeah, they

4145
02:26:07,820 --> 02:26:10,760
probably screw it up because it's AI, let's

4146
02:26:10,760 --> 02:26:11,800
use Palantir.

4147
02:26:13,420 --> 02:26:15,540
Well, you have to assume there's a screw

4148
02:26:15,540 --> 02:26:18,340
up somehow and that's what they're trying to

4149
02:26:18,340 --> 02:26:20,320
track down and I think they got one.

4150
02:26:20,940 --> 02:26:23,640
But it's like this dubious nature of this

4151
02:26:23,640 --> 02:26:27,960
reporting, which is, well, these are undocumented coming

4152
02:26:27,960 --> 02:26:31,300
in, they're undocumented, does Venezuela have a laundry

4153
02:26:31,300 --> 02:26:32,780
list and they could go right up to

4154
02:26:32,780 --> 02:26:35,580
them, hey Maduro, can you give us the

4155
02:26:35,580 --> 02:26:36,960
list of the Trent de la Ragua guys

4156
02:26:36,960 --> 02:26:38,680
so we can check their names against the

4157
02:26:38,680 --> 02:26:39,360
names we have?

4158
02:26:39,640 --> 02:26:40,900
This is bull crap.

4159
02:26:41,820 --> 02:26:45,280
But okay, but let's assume that they spent

4160
02:26:45,280 --> 02:26:46,500
a whole two weeks.

4161
02:26:46,960 --> 02:26:48,100
I mean, take it two weeks to get

4162
02:26:48,100 --> 02:26:49,440
down and to find the right person to

4163
02:26:49,440 --> 02:26:49,860
talk to.

4164
02:26:50,120 --> 02:26:51,740
But okay, let's go on.

4165
02:26:52,080 --> 02:26:55,340
You also reported on how the administration has

4166
02:26:55,340 --> 02:26:58,160
been making these determinations, what criteria they're using.

4167
02:26:58,300 --> 02:26:59,060
Tell us about that.

4168
02:26:59,480 --> 02:27:01,260
Some of the documents that have come out

4169
02:27:01,260 --> 02:27:05,760
in court filings in recent weeks indicate that

4170
02:27:05,760 --> 02:27:10,780
the Trump administration is using a rubric to

4171
02:27:10,780 --> 02:27:16,080
essentially grade individuals who law enforcement believes might

4172
02:27:16,080 --> 02:27:16,940
be Trent de la Ragua.

4173
02:27:17,300 --> 02:27:19,880
When the person gets to eight whole points,

4174
02:27:20,220 --> 02:27:24,120
they become a quote, validated member of Trent

4175
02:27:24,120 --> 02:27:27,460
de la Ragua and thus are- It's

4176
02:27:27,460 --> 02:27:28,700
a meritocracy, baby.

4177
02:27:28,920 --> 02:27:30,000
It's a merit-based system.

4178
02:27:30,060 --> 02:27:31,060
Eight points, you're out.

4179
02:27:31,980 --> 02:27:35,920
Eligible to be deported under the Trump administration's

4180
02:27:35,920 --> 02:27:38,580
qualifications as an alien enemy.

4181
02:27:39,060 --> 02:27:41,980
And so four points, according to this rubric,

4182
02:27:42,500 --> 02:27:45,440
are given for someone who has suspicious tattoos

4183
02:27:45,440 --> 02:27:48,200
of the Trump administration that law enforcement officials

4184
02:27:48,200 --> 02:27:51,420
believe are connected to Trent de la Ragua.

4185
02:27:51,860 --> 02:27:55,180
Another four points are given out for style

4186
02:27:55,180 --> 02:27:59,060
of dress that law enforcement officials believe are

4187
02:27:59,060 --> 02:28:02,080
Trent de la Ragua and experts we spoke

4188
02:28:02,080 --> 02:28:05,740
to said, hey, like these specifications don't match

4189
02:28:05,740 --> 02:28:07,980
with what we know about this group.

4190
02:28:08,260 --> 02:28:13,240
The example being tattoos specifically, obviously are worth

4191
02:28:13,240 --> 02:28:14,680
sort of half of the points that makes

4192
02:28:14,680 --> 02:28:16,940
someone a quote, validated member of Trent de

4193
02:28:16,940 --> 02:28:17,200
la Ragua.

4194
02:28:17,500 --> 02:28:22,760
But experts in Venezuela tell my colleague in

4195
02:28:22,760 --> 02:28:25,620
Venezuela that no, in fact, this group doesn't

4196
02:28:25,620 --> 02:28:28,220
use tattoos as a marker of membership.

4197
02:28:28,740 --> 02:28:32,460
This term rubric is interesting because you said

4198
02:28:32,460 --> 02:28:34,520
it's a checklist, but that's not the definition

4199
02:28:34,520 --> 02:28:35,380
of rubric.

4200
02:28:36,840 --> 02:28:39,740
No, but she's using it, the way I

4201
02:28:39,740 --> 02:28:42,840
understand it, she's using it as meaning checklist.

4202
02:28:43,180 --> 02:28:45,700
But read us the definition and then I

4203
02:28:45,700 --> 02:28:47,200
have a comment about that last clip.

4204
02:28:47,220 --> 02:28:49,900
Well, the definition has nothing to do with

4205
02:28:49,900 --> 02:28:56,760
checklist, but there's a company called Rubric and

4206
02:28:56,760 --> 02:29:02,000
they do data analysis, cloud data management.

4207
02:29:02,760 --> 02:29:05,300
So I was just wondering if maybe they're

4208
02:29:05,300 --> 02:29:08,620
using the system rubric because- No, why

4209
02:29:08,620 --> 02:29:10,200
should you look up the word rubric?

4210
02:29:10,240 --> 02:29:12,240
Rubric definition, here we go.

4211
02:29:12,300 --> 02:29:14,160
Do you want Merriam-Webster or the Collins?

4212
02:29:15,640 --> 02:29:16,420
Merriam-Webster.

4213
02:29:16,420 --> 02:29:17,240
Merriam-Webster.

4214
02:29:17,560 --> 02:29:25,120
It wants an authoritative rule, a title of

4215
02:29:25,120 --> 02:29:28,240
a statute, that would be it, or an

4216
02:29:28,240 --> 02:29:31,500
explanatory or introductory commentary.

4217
02:29:33,300 --> 02:29:35,120
She's really means checklist.

4218
02:29:35,560 --> 02:29:39,040
She just likes saying Chile and Venezuela, that's

4219
02:29:39,040 --> 02:29:39,660
what she likes.

4220
02:29:39,780 --> 02:29:40,640
And rubric.

4221
02:29:40,740 --> 02:29:41,200
And rubric.

4222
02:29:41,260 --> 02:29:46,260
Now, she mentions that the whole kind of

4223
02:29:46,260 --> 02:29:49,340
commentary at this point drifts off into these

4224
02:29:49,340 --> 02:29:49,960
tattoos.

4225
02:29:51,320 --> 02:29:53,360
And at not one point in this entire,

4226
02:29:53,480 --> 02:29:54,640
I think it was a four-part clip,

4227
02:29:56,160 --> 02:29:58,500
do they mention that MS-13 at all?

4228
02:29:58,900 --> 02:30:00,820
MS-13 was part of this whole thing.

4229
02:30:00,960 --> 02:30:03,760
It was TDS plus MS-13 that were

4230
02:30:03,760 --> 02:30:04,760
getting shipped off.

4231
02:30:04,880 --> 02:30:05,120
TDA.

4232
02:30:05,120 --> 02:30:08,700
And MS-13 is solely regarded as this.

4233
02:30:08,720 --> 02:30:10,040
You always have tattoos.

4234
02:30:10,180 --> 02:30:11,820
It's part of the scheme.

4235
02:30:12,920 --> 02:30:13,520
Right.

4236
02:30:13,700 --> 02:30:16,560
But they won't even mention MS-13 in

4237
02:30:16,560 --> 02:30:17,620
this entire report.

4238
02:30:18,060 --> 02:30:19,480
And they'll just go on and on about

4239
02:30:19,480 --> 02:30:22,120
the tattoos not being part of the Trente

4240
02:30:22,120 --> 02:30:24,680
de Agua, what I can never pronounce it

4241
02:30:24,680 --> 02:30:25,040
correctly.

4242
02:30:25,260 --> 02:30:26,200
Trente de Agua.

4243
02:30:26,860 --> 02:30:30,400
They cannot bring themselves to bring in the

4244
02:30:30,400 --> 02:30:34,000
other aspect of this deportation, which is the

4245
02:30:34,000 --> 02:30:35,440
MS-13 half of it.

4246
02:30:35,560 --> 02:30:37,620
Are you telling me that this PBS report

4247
02:30:37,620 --> 02:30:40,840
is slanted and perhaps untrue?

4248
02:30:42,740 --> 02:30:45,560
I think it's slanted for sure, and probably

4249
02:30:45,560 --> 02:30:46,800
untrue in some sense.

4250
02:30:47,760 --> 02:30:50,100
One of the deported men whose family you

4251
02:30:50,100 --> 02:30:52,520
spoke to is Arturo Suarez Trejo.

4252
02:30:52,960 --> 02:30:54,160
Can you tell me about him and his

4253
02:30:54,160 --> 02:30:54,440
family?

4254
02:30:55,180 --> 02:30:57,560
He had been living in Chile and was

4255
02:30:57,560 --> 02:31:02,960
making a living working actually installing refrigerators, but

4256
02:31:02,960 --> 02:31:04,600
his real passion was music.

4257
02:31:05,380 --> 02:31:08,620
He meets his wife, another Venezuelan in Chile,

4258
02:31:09,060 --> 02:31:10,340
and she becomes pregnant.

4259
02:31:10,560 --> 02:31:12,080
And he eventually decides, you know what?

4260
02:31:12,240 --> 02:31:13,380
I really want to make some more money

4261
02:31:13,380 --> 02:31:14,120
for my family.

4262
02:31:14,460 --> 02:31:15,640
So I'm going to go have the kid

4263
02:31:15,640 --> 02:31:17,040
in America so I can get my papers.

4264
02:31:17,040 --> 02:31:18,620
And he heads North.

4265
02:31:18,900 --> 02:31:20,440
He gets into the United States.

4266
02:31:20,900 --> 02:31:22,440
He enters the- Actually, he left, she

4267
02:31:22,440 --> 02:31:22,920
stayed.

4268
02:31:23,380 --> 02:31:26,260
Oh, oh, he heads North, oh.

4269
02:31:26,500 --> 02:31:29,100
And she becomes pregnant and he eventually decides,

4270
02:31:29,180 --> 02:31:29,500
you know what?

4271
02:31:29,720 --> 02:31:30,820
I really want to make some more money

4272
02:31:30,820 --> 02:31:31,540
for my family.

4273
02:31:31,880 --> 02:31:33,420
And he heads North.

4274
02:31:33,740 --> 02:31:35,120
Sounds like she's saying she.

4275
02:31:36,280 --> 02:31:37,040
She's saying he?

4276
02:31:37,180 --> 02:31:38,000
It sounds like she.

4277
02:31:39,840 --> 02:31:40,100
Are you sure?

4278
02:31:40,100 --> 02:31:41,900
As far as I can tell, well, play

4279
02:31:41,900 --> 02:31:42,120
it again.

4280
02:31:42,180 --> 02:31:45,140
I thought it was he heads North because

4281
02:31:45,140 --> 02:31:46,380
he's the one that was in the country,

4282
02:31:46,440 --> 02:31:46,940
not her.

4283
02:31:47,400 --> 02:31:50,740
Meets his wife, another Venezuelan in Chile, and

4284
02:31:50,740 --> 02:31:51,700
she becomes pregnant.

4285
02:31:51,960 --> 02:31:53,460
And he eventually decides, you know what?

4286
02:31:53,640 --> 02:31:54,760
I really want to make some more money

4287
02:31:54,760 --> 02:31:55,500
for my family.

4288
02:31:55,920 --> 02:31:57,400
And he heads North.

4289
02:31:57,840 --> 02:31:59,180
He gets into the United States.

4290
02:31:59,620 --> 02:32:01,640
He enters with this sort of Biden-era

4291
02:32:01,640 --> 02:32:03,640
application that allows people to sort of appear

4292
02:32:03,640 --> 02:32:05,680
at the border and ask for permission to

4293
02:32:05,680 --> 02:32:06,020
enter.

4294
02:32:06,600 --> 02:32:09,280
He enters the country, is working in North

4295
02:32:09,280 --> 02:32:09,860
Carolina.

4296
02:32:10,740 --> 02:32:15,620
And one day he's in North Carolina filming

4297
02:32:15,620 --> 02:32:18,820
a music video when I shows up.

4298
02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:21,440
He calls his wife in Chile and he

4299
02:32:21,440 --> 02:32:22,900
says, you know, honey, I'm coming home.

4300
02:32:23,480 --> 02:32:27,280
And that is when he suddenly disappeared and

4301
02:32:27,280 --> 02:32:31,820
his wife stopped hearing from him until she

4302
02:32:31,820 --> 02:32:35,440
types into Google, Venezuelans deported.

4303
02:32:35,440 --> 02:32:39,660
And she sees him in a video, shaved,

4304
02:32:40,120 --> 02:32:43,860
cuffed, and bent over in this Salvadoran prison.

4305
02:32:44,300 --> 02:32:46,500
Arturo Suarez is one of the individuals who

4306
02:32:46,500 --> 02:32:48,760
does not appear to have a criminal record

4307
02:32:49,320 --> 02:32:51,060
or a connection to Prender Agua.

4308
02:32:51,320 --> 02:32:54,380
Other than that, he came in illegally.

4309
02:32:56,080 --> 02:32:58,040
They make it sound like, oh, come on.

4310
02:32:58,160 --> 02:33:00,540
Well, no, he came in illegally, but he

4311
02:33:00,540 --> 02:33:04,100
used that stupid system that Biden had set

4312
02:33:04,100 --> 02:33:04,240
up.

4313
02:33:04,460 --> 02:33:04,680
The app?

4314
02:33:05,140 --> 02:33:05,780
The app.

4315
02:33:06,900 --> 02:33:09,400
So he came in legally through the channels

4316
02:33:09,400 --> 02:33:11,160
that they allowed him to come in legally.

4317
02:33:11,340 --> 02:33:13,040
And then he got railroaded and got shipped

4318
02:33:13,040 --> 02:33:13,940
off supposedly.

4319
02:33:14,440 --> 02:33:16,220
Although I don't know how she recognized him

4320
02:33:16,220 --> 02:33:18,880
bent over with his head shaved, but somehow

4321
02:33:18,880 --> 02:33:20,840
she recognized him, which I think that's part

4322
02:33:20,840 --> 02:33:21,980
of bogus reporting.

4323
02:33:22,960 --> 02:33:24,920
And now it turns out he's in the

4324
02:33:24,920 --> 02:33:26,760
jail, but there's no proof of this that

4325
02:33:26,760 --> 02:33:27,260
I can tell.

4326
02:33:27,320 --> 02:33:27,660
No evidence.

4327
02:33:27,980 --> 02:33:30,000
This story may be manufactured from scratch.

4328
02:33:30,360 --> 02:33:33,680
You know, the media has been flooded with

4329
02:33:33,680 --> 02:33:34,740
stories like this.

4330
02:33:35,280 --> 02:33:37,400
You know, poor guy separates from, my favorite

4331
02:33:37,400 --> 02:33:41,620
is a four-year-old girl with cancer.

4332
02:33:42,700 --> 02:33:43,640
Deported her.

4333
02:33:44,340 --> 02:33:46,400
You know, more Trump hates children.

4334
02:33:46,860 --> 02:33:50,460
Deporting children story is bogus as hell because

4335
02:33:50,460 --> 02:33:53,180
those kids were brought by the, mom was

4336
02:33:53,180 --> 02:33:55,180
deported and she wanted to bring the kid.

4337
02:33:55,300 --> 02:33:58,360
And what's the kids, and they're suggesting leaving

4338
02:33:58,360 --> 02:34:00,080
the kid in the United States because it's

4339
02:34:00,080 --> 02:34:01,140
an American citizen?

4340
02:34:02,320 --> 02:34:04,220
Okay, well, the kid's always going to be

4341
02:34:04,220 --> 02:34:05,100
an American citizen.

4342
02:34:05,240 --> 02:34:07,140
She can come back or whenever she feels

4343
02:34:07,140 --> 02:34:09,120
like it, when she's older, maybe, and can

4344
02:34:09,120 --> 02:34:10,020
live on her own.

4345
02:34:10,200 --> 02:34:12,180
No, but you see, it's wrong because President

4346
02:34:12,180 --> 02:34:15,400
Trump should have immediately opened up Walter Reed

4347
02:34:15,400 --> 02:34:17,700
or Mayo and put the kid in the

4348
02:34:17,700 --> 02:34:18,520
cancer ward.

4349
02:34:18,700 --> 02:34:19,840
You know, that's what he should be doing

4350
02:34:20,980 --> 02:34:22,620
because, you know, Trump hates children.

4351
02:34:22,760 --> 02:34:24,800
He just wants children with cancer to die.

4352
02:34:25,040 --> 02:34:25,500
That's the story.

4353
02:34:25,500 --> 02:34:29,020
You're right in your assertion five, 10 minutes

4354
02:34:29,020 --> 02:34:30,940
ago about they're going to, this is going

4355
02:34:30,940 --> 02:34:32,000
to be amped up.

4356
02:34:32,300 --> 02:34:34,880
I don't know about these stories being even

4357
02:34:34,880 --> 02:34:35,880
remotely accurate.

4358
02:34:36,100 --> 02:34:37,720
They're definitely slanted.

4359
02:34:38,240 --> 02:34:40,560
And whether this guy even exists, this guy

4360
02:34:40,560 --> 02:34:44,500
whose wife was pregnant in Chile, why didn't

4361
02:34:44,500 --> 02:34:45,880
she come with him and have the baby

4362
02:34:45,880 --> 02:34:46,260
here?

4363
02:34:46,520 --> 02:34:48,720
Which would be the smart money, seems to

4364
02:34:48,720 --> 02:34:49,020
me.

4365
02:34:50,000 --> 02:34:51,940
Especially since he went through the trouble and

4366
02:34:51,940 --> 02:34:54,000
they didn't want a bunch of single males

4367
02:34:54,000 --> 02:34:54,520
coming in.

4368
02:34:54,540 --> 02:34:56,000
They liked the idea of a family.

4369
02:34:56,520 --> 02:34:58,440
But you bring her, it makes more sense.

4370
02:34:59,460 --> 02:35:01,680
The whole thing is very suspect.

4371
02:35:01,960 --> 02:35:03,560
His passion was music, John.

4372
02:35:03,660 --> 02:35:04,520
It's so unfair.

4373
02:35:04,780 --> 02:35:06,580
And then they throw the artsy angle and

4374
02:35:06,580 --> 02:35:10,620
there's a refrigerator installer whose passion is music.

4375
02:35:11,300 --> 02:35:13,320
It's like a Dire Straits video.

4376
02:35:15,740 --> 02:35:17,320
Reference lost on you, I'm sorry.

4377
02:35:17,320 --> 02:35:19,880
Yeah, it's money for nothing.

4378
02:35:20,020 --> 02:35:21,140
Yes, oh, he's got it.

4379
02:35:21,180 --> 02:35:22,000
He's got it, yes.

4380
02:35:22,620 --> 02:35:22,860
All right.

4381
02:35:23,520 --> 02:35:25,920
You and your colleagues also reported on how

4382
02:35:25,920 --> 02:35:30,480
Salvador and President Nayib Bukele has wanted more

4383
02:35:30,480 --> 02:35:35,140
proof that these deported men are actually members

4384
02:35:35,140 --> 02:35:35,980
of Tren de Agua.

4385
02:35:36,520 --> 02:35:39,680
Where does that stand and might that impact

4386
02:35:40,240 --> 02:35:42,580
this arrangement where he's going to house him

4387
02:35:42,580 --> 02:35:43,980
in this prison for one year?

4388
02:35:44,100 --> 02:35:46,700
He says that is negotiable moving forward.

4389
02:35:47,380 --> 02:35:48,960
As far as what's going to happen next

4390
02:35:48,960 --> 02:35:51,460
for these men, it's really unclear.

4391
02:35:54,160 --> 02:35:56,360
Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador, has

4392
02:35:56,360 --> 02:35:58,840
said that this is at least a one

4393
02:35:58,840 --> 02:36:00,380
-year term for these individuals.

4394
02:36:02,220 --> 02:36:05,780
And he has called that sentence renewable.

4395
02:36:06,400 --> 02:36:08,180
And we have also seen the U.S.

4396
02:36:08,200 --> 02:36:12,380
Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Christine Noem, come

4397
02:36:12,380 --> 02:36:14,040
out and say that she believes that these

4398
02:36:14,040 --> 02:36:17,880
individuals should be in prison in El Salvador

4399
02:36:17,880 --> 02:36:19,320
for the rest of their lives.

4400
02:36:19,700 --> 02:36:22,340
That is being contested in court, but that

4401
02:36:22,340 --> 02:36:23,360
case is still pending.

4402
02:36:23,460 --> 02:36:26,260
That decision by Judge Boasberg in Washington, D

4403
02:36:26,260 --> 02:36:27,220
.C. is still pending.

4404
02:36:27,740 --> 02:36:29,000
Julie Turkle with The New York Times.

4405
02:36:29,260 --> 02:36:29,840
Thank you so much.

4406
02:36:30,200 --> 02:36:30,660
Thank you.

4407
02:36:31,200 --> 02:36:33,680
Yeah, they're going to attack him on everything.

4408
02:36:33,900 --> 02:36:36,960
It's going to be nonstop, nonstop, nonstop.

4409
02:36:38,020 --> 02:36:39,140
Anything they can do.

4410
02:36:40,100 --> 02:36:41,540
You know, we had a dinner Friday night

4411
02:36:41,540 --> 02:36:45,920
and I was sitting next to a woman.

4412
02:36:46,140 --> 02:36:47,740
And I know her husband, he wasn't there.

4413
02:36:47,740 --> 02:36:48,720
I said, where's your husband?

4414
02:36:49,260 --> 02:36:52,560
Said, he's in the Dominican Republic buying tobacco.

4415
02:36:52,940 --> 02:36:53,280
I said, what?

4416
02:36:53,980 --> 02:36:55,760
And she goes through this whole thing about,

4417
02:36:56,900 --> 02:36:59,080
you know, he's a cigar guy and he

4418
02:36:59,080 --> 02:37:01,400
has this- Dominican Republic makes decent cigar

4419
02:37:01,400 --> 02:37:01,820
tobacco.

4420
02:37:02,020 --> 02:37:04,860
Yeah, and you know, it's one third fermented

4421
02:37:05,380 --> 02:37:08,140
and he's got this Cuban roller and she's

4422
02:37:08,140 --> 02:37:08,620
from Havana.

4423
02:37:10,700 --> 02:37:12,200
Does she roll it on her thighs?

4424
02:37:12,420 --> 02:37:13,420
She's from Havana.

4425
02:37:14,400 --> 02:37:17,820
And she said, you know, we were talking

4426
02:37:17,820 --> 02:37:18,600
because she was in Florida.

4427
02:37:18,780 --> 02:37:20,340
I said, oh, Elion Gonzalez.

4428
02:37:20,340 --> 02:37:22,120
She says, oh, I remember that.

4429
02:37:22,200 --> 02:37:24,300
So you should listen to our show because

4430
02:37:24,300 --> 02:37:25,380
that's how we roll.

4431
02:37:25,560 --> 02:37:26,680
We don't roll on our thighs.

4432
02:37:26,820 --> 02:37:29,040
We roll with Elion Gonzalez references.

4433
02:37:29,800 --> 02:37:30,020
Anyway.

4434
02:37:33,100 --> 02:37:34,800
She said, what was that all about?

4435
02:37:34,900 --> 02:37:37,060
I said, well, it was the first version

4436
02:37:37,060 --> 02:37:38,000
of Tren de Aragua.

4437
02:37:39,020 --> 02:37:40,920
That's when, who was president then?

4438
02:37:41,140 --> 02:37:42,140
Clinton, wasn't it Clinton?

4439
02:37:42,880 --> 02:37:43,640
Was it?

4440
02:37:43,720 --> 02:37:44,020
Was that?

4441
02:37:44,300 --> 02:37:46,640
That must have been Clinton.

4442
02:37:46,900 --> 02:37:47,020
Yeah.

4443
02:37:48,120 --> 02:37:49,460
It was definitely a scandal.

4444
02:37:49,900 --> 02:37:51,860
And let's go to one of the most

4445
02:37:51,860 --> 02:37:55,080
press-free countries in the world, the Republic

4446
02:37:55,080 --> 02:37:58,100
of Deutschland and what they're doing in with

4447
02:37:58,100 --> 02:37:58,520
politics.

4448
02:37:58,760 --> 02:38:01,220
It's quite an interesting little affair that's happening

4449
02:38:01,220 --> 02:38:01,580
now.

4450
02:38:02,120 --> 02:38:05,520
Germany's domestic intelligence agency designated the whole AFD

4451
02:38:05,520 --> 02:38:08,880
party as a confirmed right-wing extremist organization

4452
02:38:08,880 --> 02:38:09,600
on Friday.

4453
02:38:10,020 --> 02:38:12,820
The agency says the AFD threatens democracy due

4454
02:38:12,820 --> 02:38:14,680
to its xenophobic views on ethnicity.

4455
02:38:15,040 --> 02:38:18,080
It concluded that the party discriminates against non

4456
02:38:18,080 --> 02:38:20,920
-ethnic Germans, denying them equal status, especially those

4457
02:38:20,920 --> 02:38:22,020
from Muslim backgrounds.

4458
02:38:22,380 --> 02:38:25,040
As Germany's Minister of the Interior, Nancy Faeser,

4459
02:38:25,120 --> 02:38:25,460
explained.

4460
02:38:26,280 --> 02:38:29,060
The party reacted to today's decision, saying it

4461
02:38:29,060 --> 02:38:31,560
is a serious blow to German democracy, pointing

4462
02:38:31,560 --> 02:38:33,480
to the polls showing the AFD as a

4463
02:38:33,480 --> 02:38:34,120
strongest force.

4464
02:38:35,580 --> 02:38:37,940
The AFD stated that it will continue to

4465
02:38:37,940 --> 02:38:39,980
defend itself legally against defamation.

4466
02:38:41,060 --> 02:38:42,980
The decision follows a three-year review of

4467
02:38:42,980 --> 02:38:45,140
AFD actions, statements, and extremist links.

4468
02:38:45,760 --> 02:38:48,740
The AFD came second in February's general elections

4469
02:38:48,740 --> 02:38:51,400
ahead of the incoming junior coalition partner, the

4470
02:38:51,400 --> 02:38:51,720
SP.

4471
02:38:53,180 --> 02:38:55,440
Parts of the AFD, like its youth link,

4472
02:38:55,580 --> 02:38:57,340
were already classified this way.

4473
02:38:59,160 --> 02:39:01,560
Parliament could theoretically ask for the party to

4474
02:39:01,560 --> 02:39:04,540
be dissolved, but this is considered highly unlikely.

4475
02:39:04,560 --> 02:39:06,920
House, council, to be honest.

4476
02:39:06,920 --> 02:39:09,700
So, we don't like that you're popular, so

4477
02:39:09,700 --> 02:39:12,280
we're just going to have our security services

4478
02:39:12,280 --> 02:39:14,160
call you a domestic terrorist.

4479
02:39:14,820 --> 02:39:17,260
And we want to dissolve you, but everyone's

4480
02:39:17,260 --> 02:39:17,900
going to stay away.

4481
02:39:18,040 --> 02:39:19,480
And you, by the way, you're youth, clearly

4482
02:39:19,480 --> 02:39:19,860
Jugend.

4483
02:39:20,700 --> 02:39:23,780
AfD, Jugend, well, you're already classified, you as

4484
02:39:23,780 --> 02:39:24,660
little terrorists.

4485
02:39:26,740 --> 02:39:29,180
And our Secretary of State, Rubio, had some

4486
02:39:29,180 --> 02:39:30,260
strong words for this.

4487
02:39:30,400 --> 02:39:34,000
U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, called

4488
02:39:34,000 --> 02:39:36,680
Germany a tyranny in disguise.

4489
02:39:36,680 --> 02:39:40,740
After its intelligence service labelled the far-right

4490
02:39:40,740 --> 02:39:45,540
alternative for Germany party as right-wing extremist.

4491
02:39:45,960 --> 02:39:49,540
Rubio's comments made on the social media platform

4492
02:39:49,540 --> 02:39:54,080
X drew strong backlash from Germany's foreign office.

4493
02:39:54,260 --> 02:39:57,220
They replied by saying the decision was a

4494
02:39:57,220 --> 02:40:01,440
result of a thorough and independent investigation and

4495
02:40:01,440 --> 02:40:04,400
that Germany has learned from its history that

4496
02:40:04,400 --> 02:40:07,860
right-wing extremism needs to be stopped.

4497
02:40:08,300 --> 02:40:10,960
The label now applied to the AfD will

4498
02:40:10,960 --> 02:40:15,140
allow authorities to monitor the organization more closely.

4499
02:40:15,600 --> 02:40:19,380
Meanwhile, critics, including AfD leaders and their U

4500
02:40:19,380 --> 02:40:23,180
.S. supporters, say the move is politically motivated.

4501
02:40:23,560 --> 02:40:27,460
Do you think it's unbelievable what's happening in

4502
02:40:27,460 --> 02:40:27,820
Germany?

4503
02:40:28,260 --> 02:40:30,760
Yeah, there's nothing like a right-wing organization

4504
02:40:30,760 --> 02:40:32,060
run by a lesbian.

4505
02:40:32,500 --> 02:40:35,060
And L2, a libertarian lesbian.

4506
02:40:35,580 --> 02:40:38,020
A libertarian lesbian seems unlikely.

4507
02:40:38,820 --> 02:40:40,820
You know, no sooner have we spoken about

4508
02:40:40,820 --> 02:40:43,580
the Harvard endowment.

4509
02:40:44,220 --> 02:40:44,800
Yeah.

4510
02:40:45,340 --> 02:40:49,420
Then President Trump says, you know, I think

4511
02:40:49,420 --> 02:40:52,140
we're gonna remove the tax-exempt status from

4512
02:40:52,140 --> 02:40:53,460
the endowment.

4513
02:40:53,460 --> 02:40:55,360
Yeah, I discussed this in the newsletter a

4514
02:40:55,360 --> 02:40:55,780
little bit.

4515
02:40:55,840 --> 02:40:57,440
Yeah, I missed the newsletter, unfortunately.

4516
02:40:58,220 --> 02:40:58,900
What did you say?

4517
02:40:58,900 --> 02:41:02,620
I think a lot of this is a

4518
02:41:02,620 --> 02:41:03,040
trap.

4519
02:41:04,480 --> 02:41:04,580
Okay.

4520
02:41:04,720 --> 02:41:07,020
And it was designed, it's a trap to

4521
02:41:07,020 --> 02:41:09,540
get Harvard, because Harvard's deciding to sue back

4522
02:41:09,540 --> 02:41:10,760
and they're making a big fuss and it's

4523
02:41:10,760 --> 02:41:11,920
bringing it to light.

4524
02:41:12,200 --> 02:41:14,360
What it's doing is bringing to light.

4525
02:41:14,580 --> 02:41:15,940
Yeah, what's really going on.

4526
02:41:15,960 --> 02:41:17,600
The fact that the government is giving private

4527
02:41:17,600 --> 02:41:20,640
institutions billions and billions of dollars when they

4528
02:41:20,640 --> 02:41:23,740
have billions of dollars in their coffers already.

4529
02:41:23,960 --> 02:41:26,280
And then it turns out they're treated like

4530
02:41:26,280 --> 02:41:27,000
churches.

4531
02:41:27,360 --> 02:41:27,620
Yep.

4532
02:41:27,880 --> 02:41:29,780
So they have tax-free everything.

4533
02:41:29,780 --> 02:41:31,900
They have these huge amounts of land.

4534
02:41:32,200 --> 02:41:33,080
They don't have to pay tax.

4535
02:41:33,160 --> 02:41:34,780
They don't have to pay property tax.

4536
02:41:35,040 --> 02:41:36,180
They don't have to pay income tax.

4537
02:41:36,200 --> 02:41:36,980
They have to pay nothing.

4538
02:41:37,460 --> 02:41:38,920
And this is being brought to light.

4539
02:41:39,060 --> 02:41:41,360
And the more that these colleges push back

4540
02:41:41,360 --> 02:41:43,160
on it, the more it brings into the

4541
02:41:43,160 --> 02:41:45,060
public eye, which is something I didn't really

4542
02:41:45,060 --> 02:41:46,260
know how bad it was.

4543
02:41:46,700 --> 02:41:48,660
It brings into the public eye like, wait

4544
02:41:48,660 --> 02:41:49,180
a minute.

4545
02:41:50,100 --> 02:41:50,200
Yeah.

4546
02:41:50,560 --> 02:41:52,440
This is not, this isn't right.

4547
02:41:52,580 --> 02:41:53,680
And when you- So these guys are

4548
02:41:53,680 --> 02:41:54,820
screwing themselves.

4549
02:41:55,080 --> 02:41:58,000
And when you donate to the endowment, it's

4550
02:41:58,000 --> 02:41:59,780
a tax deduction.

4551
02:42:00,960 --> 02:42:03,360
It's like you get it on the way

4552
02:42:03,360 --> 02:42:04,280
in and on the way out.

4553
02:42:05,780 --> 02:42:06,920
It's no good.

4554
02:42:07,060 --> 02:42:07,480
No.

4555
02:42:08,080 --> 02:42:10,540
These guys are charging students hundreds of thousands

4556
02:42:10,540 --> 02:42:12,220
of dollars to go get an education.

4557
02:42:12,440 --> 02:42:14,920
Meanwhile, they're tax-free and they're getting free

4558
02:42:14,920 --> 02:42:16,860
government money and they're living the life of

4559
02:42:16,860 --> 02:42:17,080
Riley.

4560
02:42:17,300 --> 02:42:17,640
No.

4561
02:42:18,140 --> 02:42:19,000
The life of Riley?

4562
02:42:19,140 --> 02:42:19,740
I've never heard this term.

4563
02:42:19,740 --> 02:42:21,200
The life of, I'm sorry to use that

4564
02:42:21,200 --> 02:42:21,460
term.

4565
02:42:21,860 --> 02:42:22,860
That dated me.

4566
02:42:23,340 --> 02:42:25,280
Please do explain the life of Riley.

4567
02:42:25,440 --> 02:42:26,220
This is a good one.

4568
02:42:26,620 --> 02:42:28,480
The life of Riley was a phrase that

4569
02:42:28,480 --> 02:42:29,860
was used, my dad used to use it

4570
02:42:29,860 --> 02:42:30,120
too.

4571
02:42:30,820 --> 02:42:33,200
And it really was based on a TV

4572
02:42:33,200 --> 02:42:33,680
sitcom.

4573
02:42:33,880 --> 02:42:35,280
And I think it was a radio show

4574
02:42:35,280 --> 02:42:36,840
before there was a sitcom.

4575
02:42:36,980 --> 02:42:38,640
So it probably goes back to the 30s

4576
02:42:38,640 --> 02:42:39,220
or 40s.

4577
02:42:39,560 --> 02:42:41,600
And it was a show called The Life

4578
02:42:41,600 --> 02:42:42,200
of Riley.

4579
02:42:43,740 --> 02:42:45,640
And you can look up The Life of

4580
02:42:45,640 --> 02:42:47,560
Riley and you'll find some references to it.

4581
02:42:47,560 --> 02:42:49,800
This should probably be a television watching tip.

4582
02:42:50,960 --> 02:42:53,380
The Life of Riley.

4583
02:42:53,920 --> 02:42:55,100
I've never heard of this.

4584
02:42:55,100 --> 02:42:57,180
And you've never, never used this?

4585
02:42:57,580 --> 02:42:59,400
No, it's an old, it's one of those

4586
02:42:59,400 --> 02:43:00,980
phrases that your parents used.

4587
02:43:01,660 --> 02:43:03,080
Oh, like fiddle sticks?

4588
02:43:03,620 --> 02:43:05,580
Because it's like you're living the life of

4589
02:43:05,580 --> 02:43:05,740
Riley.

4590
02:43:05,840 --> 02:43:07,520
I mean, you're not, you're doing nothing.

4591
02:43:07,900 --> 02:43:09,960
So was Riley living it up?

4592
02:43:10,760 --> 02:43:12,040
No, it was just a lazy.

4593
02:43:12,180 --> 02:43:15,140
It was like a lazy guy who, he

4594
02:43:15,140 --> 02:43:16,940
was not, he was a...

4595
02:43:16,940 --> 02:43:17,640
Here we go.

4596
02:43:19,980 --> 02:43:21,660
William Bendix in...

4597
02:43:21,660 --> 02:43:22,680
Yes, William Bendix.

4598
02:43:23,260 --> 02:43:24,860
The Life of Riley.

4599
02:43:25,680 --> 02:43:27,800
It's, John, it's from the 50s.

4600
02:43:29,360 --> 02:43:30,320
Nice, nice.

4601
02:43:30,540 --> 02:43:32,600
And complete episodes on YouTube.

4602
02:43:32,880 --> 02:43:34,080
Well, I'm gonna have to watch that now.

4603
02:43:34,520 --> 02:43:35,560
Life of Riley.

4604
02:43:35,820 --> 02:43:36,280
I'm excited.

4605
02:43:36,280 --> 02:43:37,780
Say The Life of Riley, yeah.

4606
02:43:37,860 --> 02:43:38,640
I'm excited.

4607
02:43:40,240 --> 02:43:42,200
Some of the people who are in that

4608
02:43:42,200 --> 02:43:44,020
tax scam probably are as old as The

4609
02:43:44,020 --> 02:43:44,680
Life of Riley.

4610
02:43:46,420 --> 02:43:48,400
So I think this is a setup.

4611
02:43:48,580 --> 02:43:50,260
I think Trump, and they fell right into

4612
02:43:50,260 --> 02:43:50,760
the trap.

4613
02:43:50,760 --> 02:43:52,300
Instead of just shutting up.

4614
02:43:52,460 --> 02:43:52,900
Beautiful.

4615
02:43:53,240 --> 02:43:55,540
Putting the clamps down on the Jewish thing.

4616
02:43:56,720 --> 02:43:58,900
Saying, we're gonna not let that happen anymore.

4617
02:43:59,620 --> 02:44:02,160
But no, they had to be big shots.

4618
02:44:03,060 --> 02:44:05,460
You had to be a big shot, didn't

4619
02:44:05,460 --> 02:44:05,600
you?

4620
02:44:05,660 --> 02:44:07,420
All right, Victor David Hanson, we got the

4621
02:44:07,420 --> 02:44:08,100
five minute warning.

4622
02:44:09,260 --> 02:44:09,580
Okay.

4623
02:44:10,760 --> 02:44:13,800
Here's Victor David Hanson talking about...

4624
02:44:13,800 --> 02:44:14,960
Victor Davis Hanson, actually.

4625
02:44:14,960 --> 02:44:16,560
Davis, yeah, I always say David, I don't

4626
02:44:16,560 --> 02:44:16,920
know why.

4627
02:44:17,140 --> 02:44:17,760
But I do.

4628
02:44:18,430 --> 02:44:22,440
But Victor, VDH, VDH, VDH, everybody.

4629
02:44:22,880 --> 02:44:25,880
He has a commentary about the Democrats, and

4630
02:44:25,880 --> 02:44:27,420
I don't know why, but it leads right

4631
02:44:27,420 --> 02:44:28,760
into our donations.

4632
02:44:29,160 --> 02:44:31,800
If you look at the Democratic Party and

4633
02:44:31,800 --> 02:44:33,580
the left in general, they have boxed themselves

4634
02:44:33,580 --> 02:44:34,040
in.

4635
02:44:34,280 --> 02:44:36,360
On the one hand, they have no institutional

4636
02:44:36,360 --> 02:44:36,980
power.

4637
02:44:37,460 --> 02:44:41,160
No ability to pass legislation, losing the House

4638
02:44:41,160 --> 02:44:41,780
and the Senate.

4639
02:44:42,280 --> 02:44:44,820
No presidency, White House, no executive orders.

4640
02:44:45,620 --> 02:44:48,920
Ultimately, all of the cherry-picked district and

4641
02:44:48,920 --> 02:44:52,080
circuit judges will be overturned by a largely

4642
02:44:52,080 --> 02:44:53,680
conservative Supreme Court.

4643
02:44:54,160 --> 02:44:56,780
In lieu of actual power, then you look

4644
02:44:56,780 --> 02:44:58,180
at what is the alternative.

4645
02:44:58,560 --> 02:45:02,680
Maybe the alternative is a 1994 Newt Gingrich

4646
02:45:02,680 --> 02:45:05,000
contract with America, an alternate agenda.

4647
02:45:05,640 --> 02:45:07,900
Yes, we can do better on the border

4648
02:45:07,900 --> 02:45:08,640
than you can.

4649
02:45:08,740 --> 02:45:10,480
Yes, we have a better foreign policy with

4650
02:45:10,480 --> 02:45:10,620
Iran.

4651
02:45:10,880 --> 02:45:11,540
There's nothing.

4652
02:45:11,920 --> 02:45:13,100
There's no shadow government.

4653
02:45:13,100 --> 02:45:15,500
There's not a young Bill Clinton ascendant.

4654
02:45:15,580 --> 02:45:16,760
There's no young Barack.

4655
02:45:16,800 --> 02:45:17,600
There's nobody.

4656
02:45:17,720 --> 02:45:18,560
There's no leaders.

4657
02:45:18,820 --> 02:45:19,900
There's no agenda.

4658
02:45:20,040 --> 02:45:20,300
Ooh!

4659
02:45:22,020 --> 02:45:24,420
I'm gonna show my Simone by donating to

4660
02:45:24,420 --> 02:45:25,060
No Agenda.

4661
02:45:25,220 --> 02:45:27,100
Imagine all the people who could do that.

4662
02:45:27,300 --> 02:45:28,340
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.

4663
02:45:30,100 --> 02:45:31,500
Yeah, on No Agenda.

4664
02:45:33,720 --> 02:45:35,040
In the morning.

4665
02:45:35,540 --> 02:45:37,280
I couldn't make it any slicker than that.

4666
02:45:37,320 --> 02:45:37,920
That's beautiful.

4667
02:45:38,140 --> 02:45:39,640
And it is time now to thank our

4668
02:45:39,640 --> 02:45:40,860
donors, $50 and above.

4669
02:45:40,980 --> 02:45:42,200
We do have John's tip of the day

4670
02:45:42,200 --> 02:45:42,640
coming up.

4671
02:45:42,640 --> 02:45:44,840
Some dynamite, end of show mixes, a quick

4672
02:45:44,840 --> 02:45:47,780
overview of the meetups, and some title changes

4673
02:45:47,780 --> 02:45:49,980
on a Commodore or two.

4674
02:45:50,380 --> 02:45:51,400
John, take it away.

4675
02:45:52,100 --> 02:45:53,720
Yeah, we had a few people to thank,

4676
02:45:53,820 --> 02:45:56,460
including Baron Lattican, who's back from Houston, Texas.

4677
02:45:57,560 --> 02:45:59,720
And he came with 100, and John Robinet

4678
02:45:59,720 --> 02:46:00,260
is 100.

4679
02:46:00,800 --> 02:46:05,300
Commodore 128 came in with 8502.

4680
02:46:07,880 --> 02:46:10,340
Commodore 128 ship, I hope, didn't it?

4681
02:46:10,640 --> 02:46:11,880
Commodore 128.

4682
02:46:12,720 --> 02:46:15,740
No, no, no, no, it's the Commodore, you

4683
02:46:15,740 --> 02:46:19,480
had the Commodore VIC-20, the Commodore 64,

4684
02:46:19,720 --> 02:46:20,780
and the Commodore 128.

4685
02:46:23,020 --> 02:46:25,020
And I think it did have the 8502

4686
02:46:25,020 --> 02:46:25,240
chip.

4687
02:46:25,560 --> 02:46:27,180
No, no, there's no such thing as an

4688
02:46:27,180 --> 02:46:28,300
8502 chip.

4689
02:46:28,340 --> 02:46:28,920
Are you sure?

4690
02:46:29,600 --> 02:46:30,580
Yeah, pretty sure.

4691
02:46:31,000 --> 02:46:32,400
No, I'm not pretty sure, I'm sure.

4692
02:46:33,500 --> 02:46:35,340
8502 chip, let's take a look.

4693
02:46:35,780 --> 02:46:37,060
Wasn't that the ZX80?

4694
02:46:37,520 --> 02:46:40,180
Yeah, the MOS Technology 8502.

4695
02:46:40,680 --> 02:46:42,020
8-bit microprocessor?

4696
02:46:42,640 --> 02:46:43,080
Yes.

4697
02:46:43,780 --> 02:46:45,880
There was an 8502, and I was unaware

4698
02:46:45,880 --> 02:46:47,540
of it, and it passed me by while

4699
02:46:47,540 --> 02:46:49,220
I was writing about these things back in

4700
02:46:49,220 --> 02:46:51,800
the day, and it wasn't the 6502.

4701
02:46:51,920 --> 02:46:55,420
You were writing about Windows telecommunications, so you're

4702
02:46:55,420 --> 02:46:55,740
forgiven.

4703
02:46:56,000 --> 02:46:56,800
I mean, it can happen.

4704
02:46:56,940 --> 02:46:59,500
You were doing other important stuff, instant bestsellers.

4705
02:47:00,200 --> 02:47:02,680
Well, I think 8502's a great donation number

4706
02:47:02,680 --> 02:47:03,000
then.

4707
02:47:03,140 --> 02:47:04,260
I think so too.

4708
02:47:04,500 --> 02:47:05,960
It's better than 6502.

4709
02:47:06,080 --> 02:47:07,020
It sure is.

4710
02:47:07,260 --> 02:47:08,360
Especially on a slow date.

4711
02:47:08,360 --> 02:47:09,500
Kevin McLaughlin's next.

4712
02:47:09,560 --> 02:47:10,900
He's in the Concord, North Carolina.

4713
02:47:11,020 --> 02:47:12,500
He came in with a better donation of

4714
02:47:12,500 --> 02:47:14,180
8008, which is a classic.

4715
02:47:14,340 --> 02:47:14,720
Boobs.

4716
02:47:15,120 --> 02:47:17,140
He's the Archduke of Luna, lover of America

4717
02:47:17,140 --> 02:47:18,040
and lover of boobs.

4718
02:47:18,320 --> 02:47:19,920
He is a lover, not a fighter.

4719
02:47:21,460 --> 02:47:24,280
He also says Laos Deo, which translates to

4720
02:47:24,280 --> 02:47:25,220
praise be to God.

4721
02:47:25,720 --> 02:47:26,520
Laos Deo.

4722
02:47:27,460 --> 02:47:28,980
Not sure why he put that in there.

4723
02:47:29,020 --> 02:47:29,680
Well, why not?

4724
02:47:30,180 --> 02:47:30,920
Praise be to God.

4725
02:47:31,100 --> 02:47:33,200
Because he's been very consistent of not putting

4726
02:47:33,200 --> 02:47:34,360
extra wordage.

4727
02:47:34,540 --> 02:47:35,460
Well, he has something to say.

4728
02:47:35,460 --> 02:47:38,160

Michael Formanik, I think, I betcha, $57.19.

you well.

4738
02:48:18,000 --> 02:48:21,220
That's a proper use of the term, of

4739
02:48:21,220 --> 02:48:22,260
the form, yes.

4740
02:48:22,980 --> 02:48:23,980

is the fabulous $54.25 donation.

4760
02:49:27,020 --> 02:49:27,820
We got two people.

4761
02:49:27,860 --> 02:49:28,340
Woo!

4762
02:49:28,840 --> 02:49:31,220
That came with, may the fourth be with

4763
02:49:31,220 --> 02:49:31,480
you.

4764
02:49:32,120 --> 02:49:34,000
So this is the kind of promotions that

4765
02:49:34,000 --> 02:49:37,020
really, really make my day.

4766
02:49:37,200 --> 02:49:38,300
Yeah, good job.

4767
02:49:42,860 --> 02:49:43,740
Allison Olsofsky.

4768
02:49:43,880 --> 02:49:45,500
It should be Oslofsky, probably.

4769
02:49:46,060 --> 02:49:48,100
It's probably a mistype, a typo.

4770
02:49:48,140 --> 02:49:49,500
Well, that came right off the spreadsheet.

4771
02:49:49,860 --> 02:49:50,900
That's the way she describes it.

4772
02:49:51,100 --> 02:49:52,360

02:50:43,180 --> 02:50:44,260
I don't know how that ever happened.

4790
02:50:44,320 --> 02:50:45,360
It's the invisible man.

4791
02:50:46,600 --> 02:50:51,440

02:50:58,560 --> 02:51:00,460
They always give me a biscuit on my

4797
02:51:00,460 --> 02:51:00,920
birthday.

4798
02:51:01,020 --> 02:51:01,500
Right now.

4799
02:51:01,520 --> 02:51:02,260
We'll do one right there.

4800
02:51:02,720 --> 02:51:04,960
And now we're already to the $50 donors.

4801
02:51:05,060 --> 02:51:06,020
There's a little list here.

4802
02:51:06,140 --> 02:51:07,420
We'll start with, and we'll just do names

4803
02:51:07,420 --> 02:51:09,400
and locations, starting with Foster Birch in New

4804
02:51:09,400 --> 02:51:09,840
York City.

4805
02:51:10,260 --> 02:51:12,840
Matt Prazee in St. John's, Florida.

4806
02:51:13,320 --> 02:51:15,180
Daniel LaBoise in Bath, Michigan.

4807
02:51:16,680 --> 02:51:19,280
James Sheremeta in Nappanock, New York.

4808
02:51:19,620 --> 02:51:22,460
Rebecca Ho, or Hog, H-A-U-G

4809
02:51:22,460 --> 02:51:24,160
-H, in Memphis, Tennessee.

4810
02:51:25,100 --> 02:51:27,440
Chris Conaker in Anchorage, Alaska.

4811
02:51:28,140 --> 02:51:30,320
Aichi Kitagawa, he's over there in San Francisco.

4812
02:51:30,760 --> 02:51:32,740
Walker Phillips is in San Rafael, and that

4813
02:51:32,740 --> 02:51:35,480
concludes our list of well-wishers and people

4814
02:51:35,480 --> 02:51:40,280
who helped us produce show 1761, I believe.

4815
02:51:40,640 --> 02:51:42,360
Yeah, 1761 is correct.

4816
02:51:42,500 --> 02:51:45,100
Didn't the TRS-80 also run on that

4817
02:51:45,100 --> 02:51:46,300
80 chip?

4818
02:51:46,420 --> 02:51:48,360
No, no, the TRS-80 was an 8080.

4819
02:51:48,660 --> 02:51:49,380
8080, right.

4820
02:51:49,480 --> 02:51:52,020
That's what I learned on the Sinclair ZX

4821
02:51:52,020 --> 02:51:52,280
-80.

4822
02:51:52,380 --> 02:51:53,980
That's where I, that was my first computer.

4823
02:51:53,980 --> 02:51:56,540
Actually, the TRS-80 may have been a

4824
02:51:56,540 --> 02:51:57,000
Z80.

4825
02:51:57,400 --> 02:51:59,420
I think it was a Z80, actually, yeah.

4826
02:51:59,580 --> 02:52:00,760
The Trash 80.

4827
02:52:00,940 --> 02:52:02,480
I still have my TRS-100.

4828
02:52:03,740 --> 02:52:06,220
I had a TRS-80 with the dual

4829
02:52:06,220 --> 02:52:06,660
drives.

4830
02:52:06,840 --> 02:52:08,880
It was actually a very functional machine.

4831
02:52:09,020 --> 02:52:12,020
It was well, and I thought Radio Shack

4832
02:52:12,020 --> 02:52:13,440
was going to stay in the business, and

4833
02:52:13,440 --> 02:52:14,720
then they just- No, the batteries.

4834
02:52:14,800 --> 02:52:16,920
Came out with a 16-bit machine, and

4835
02:52:16,920 --> 02:52:18,140
then they just dropped them all.

4836
02:52:18,160 --> 02:52:20,100
No, then they went with the cell phones.

4837
02:52:20,660 --> 02:52:23,420
Once the, I have my old Radio Shack.

4838
02:52:23,420 --> 02:52:25,880
Didn't they do the CoCo, the color computer?

4839
02:52:26,500 --> 02:52:28,580
Yes, I think that was, that had a

4840
02:52:28,580 --> 02:52:29,520
crap keyboard.

4841
02:52:29,960 --> 02:52:31,680
I think that killed them.

4842
02:52:31,940 --> 02:52:32,980
Yeah, yeah.

4843
02:52:35,660 --> 02:52:37,720

seems to be impossible It's original from JCD

5001
02:58:39,370 --> 02:58:41,730
Created by Dana Brunetti Look, it is actually

5002
02:58:41,730 --> 02:58:43,470

5003
02:58:43,470 --> 02:58:44,730
to the whole lecture though It's gonna be

02:59:21,770 --> 02:59:23,070
not what we're talking about they don't have

5021
02:59:23,070 --> 02:59:25,450
very little anise in these Amaro's which is

5022
02:59:25,450 --> 02:59:28,650
a subs a Sub-segment of bitters that

5023
02:59:28,650 --> 02:59:29,850
ones that are made in Italy.

5024
02:59:30,010 --> 02:59:32,110
Most of these were designed in the mid

5025
02:59:33,310 --> 02:59:35,950
1800s they're using the exact same formula So

5026
02:59:35,950 --> 02:59:38,650
what happened was I started drinking these things

5027
02:59:38,650 --> 02:59:41,870
with my son-in-law Brennan these to

5028
02:59:41,870 --> 02:59:44,030
come over He he has a what I

5029
02:59:44,030 --> 02:59:46,670
would call people who understand these things would

5030
02:59:46,670 --> 02:59:51,090
say an inquisitive palate It Definitely looking for

5031
02:59:51,090 --> 02:59:53,530
something that in his memorizes taste.

5032
02:59:53,670 --> 02:59:54,330
He's really good.

5033
02:59:54,410 --> 02:59:56,630
He's just Father-in-law.

5034
02:59:56,990 --> 02:59:59,230
Well, he's got yeah, I do blind tasting

5035
02:59:59,230 --> 03:00:00,610
with these kids just to make sure they're

5036
03:00:00,610 --> 03:00:02,050
not trying to Buffalo me.

5037
03:00:02,830 --> 03:00:06,430
So So we got into these bitters and

5038
03:00:06,430 --> 03:00:09,010
we got into these Amaro's in particular and

5039
03:00:09,010 --> 03:00:10,570
we started going through a lot of them

5040
03:00:10,570 --> 03:00:12,570
over A two-year period we probably went

5041
03:00:12,570 --> 03:00:14,050
through it I and I have a bunch

5042
03:00:14,050 --> 03:00:15,310
of them already and we went through the

5043
03:00:15,310 --> 03:00:17,430
ones we owe the Swiss ones the French

5044
03:00:17,430 --> 03:00:20,130
ones and we got started focusing on the

5045
03:00:20,130 --> 03:00:23,270
best ones and we finally determined the absolute

5046
03:00:23,270 --> 03:00:26,050
best after dinner and he had a kind

5047
03:00:26,050 --> 03:00:27,910
of some stomach issues, but these bitters are

5048
03:00:27,910 --> 03:00:30,490
fabulous for after the meal is you have

5049
03:00:30,490 --> 03:00:33,730
like a shot in a bigger glass of

5050
03:00:33,730 --> 03:00:37,810
about an ounce of bitters as you're You're

5051
03:00:37,810 --> 03:00:39,090
the thing at the end of the meal

5052
03:00:39,090 --> 03:00:41,950
the you digest if it might be called

5053
03:00:41,950 --> 03:00:42,470

5054
03:00:42,670 --> 03:00:43,130

four nets and all the rest of them

5059
03:00:55,250 --> 03:00:57,890
It's so hard to beat this particular product

5060
03:00:57,890 --> 03:01:00,070

5061
03:01:00,070 --> 03:01:02,230
get they sell in the leaders for about

5062
03:01:02,230 --> 03:01:04,950

Amaro It which is the Alpine ones, which

5067
03:01:15,910 --> 03:01:18,310
means it was done in in the mountains

5068
03:01:18,310 --> 03:01:20,910
from mountain herbs And it's got a blend

5069
03:01:20,910 --> 03:01:23,050
of mountain herbs that was determined it and

5070
03:01:23,050 --> 03:01:24,150
