1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,080
I went to jail for the Republic.

2
00:00:02,540 --> 00:00:04,020
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:04,420
DeVora.

4
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,500
It's Thursday, August 14, 2025.

5
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,520
This is your award-winning Kibble Nation Media

6
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,940
Assassination Episode 1790.

7
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,820
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:16,380
Covering IPV4 and 6.

9
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,720
And broadcasting live from the heart of the

10
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,740
Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.

11
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:21,140
6.

12
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,480
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

13
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,220
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we tell

14
00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:29,060
everybody not to throw sandwiches at cops.

15
00:00:29,060 --> 00:00:29,740
I'm John C.

16
00:00:29,860 --> 00:00:30,260
DeVorak.

17
00:00:30,740 --> 00:00:32,380
It's crackpot and buzzkill.

18
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,540
In the morning.

19
00:00:34,420 --> 00:00:36,440
Oh, is that the latest in California?

20
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:37,800
No, no.

21
00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:39,000
This is what happened in D.C. You

22
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,420
didn't watch this morning's news.

23
00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:41,500
No.

24
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,020
I'm so bored by it.

25
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,720
I've got Trump on the quad screen right

26
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:44,980
now.

27
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:48,200
So there's a guy in a pink shirt

28
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,400
and shorts standing in front of one of

29
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,740
the cops and yelling, calling him a fascist

30
00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:53,460
and going on and on.

31
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,520
And then he throws a giant Subway sandwich

32
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,380
at the cop.

33
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,420
He's right in front of him.

34
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:00,280
He's about a foot away.

35
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,800
And the cops chase him down, arrest him

36
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,540
for a felony assault on a police officer.

37
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,840
The guy was an employee of the Department

38
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:10,760
of Justice.

39
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:12,880
That's great.

40
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,700
That's what made this story great.

41
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,760
We're lost, man.

42
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,760
Immediately fired by Bondi.

43
00:01:18,980 --> 00:01:19,800
Oh, no, of course.

44
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:20,780
Scam Bondi.

45
00:01:20,860 --> 00:01:22,540
She won't stand for that.

46
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:26,220
What was this guy thinking?

47
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,860
What a numbnut.

48
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:31,740
Well, we probably should just talk about that

49
00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:33,160
just for a second since you brought it

50
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:33,360
up.

51
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:34,580
Let me see here.

52
00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:37,600
It's noteworthy, Errol, there's been no legal challenge

53
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,820
filed by the leaders of the District of

54
00:01:39,820 --> 00:01:40,300
Columbia.

55
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,920
Yeah, isn't that interesting that everyone's like, oh,

56
00:01:43,020 --> 00:01:46,400
he's federalizing D.C., he's a takeover, takeover

57
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,580
of D.C. I went to my hair

58
00:01:49,580 --> 00:01:52,080
girl in Austin on Wednesday.

59
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:57,160
Oh, you took the trek to Austin.

60
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,940
Yes, I made the trek.

61
00:01:59,600 --> 00:01:59,920
It was very dangerous.

62
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,440
A lot like me going to Sacramento.

63
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,340
Long haul.

64
00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:07,220
Yeah, the distance, but the minute you kind

65
00:02:07,220 --> 00:02:09,400
of, once you pass Dripping Springs and you

66
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,340
come into this big smoke of Austin, it

67
00:02:13,340 --> 00:02:14,600
just feels dark.

68
00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:15,940
Really?

69
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:16,900
Yeah, it does.

70
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,020
It used to be a lively little city.

71
00:02:20,180 --> 00:02:22,000
No, it's big.

72
00:02:22,380 --> 00:02:22,900
It's busy.

73
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,080
There's lots of traffic and everyone's insane.

74
00:02:26,740 --> 00:02:27,620
Everyone's nuts.

75
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,800
So I'm talking to my girl.

76
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,400
She's like, even she was somewhat infected.

77
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:34,320
And she's pretty straight down the middle.

78
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:36,000
She's like, oh, you know.

79
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,000
Infected by what?

80
00:02:37,460 --> 00:02:39,320
By the, oh, Trump did the takeover.

81
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,940
Trump takeover of D.C. Takeover.

82
00:02:42,580 --> 00:02:44,900
The U.S. government owns D.C. Well,

83
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:47,340
this is what people don't know.

84
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,720
They don't know anything.

85
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,640
They're not taught anything in school.

86
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,420
No, no.

87
00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:57,000
When you don't even know that LBS is

88
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,600
an abbreviation for pounds or that a nickel

89
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,180
is five cents.

90
00:03:01,180 --> 00:03:02,480
It was a half dozen.

91
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,160
Oh, wait a minute.

92
00:03:03,220 --> 00:03:04,100
I had another one here.

93
00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:04,660
What did I have?

94
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,300
I had another one someone sent me.

95
00:03:06,780 --> 00:03:07,240
LBS.

96
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,960
My wife works with a vet.

97
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,040
I'm not sure what this is.

98
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,000
Her coworker one day was asking her what

99
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,500
a florida ounce was.

100
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:24,400
My wife asked her to repeat it again.

101
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,940
She said she looked over at a piece

102
00:03:25,940 --> 00:03:29,020
of paper and says, what is a florida

103
00:03:29,020 --> 00:03:29,420
ounce?

104
00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:32,180
Because it said FL ounces.

105
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:34,980
And this poor person didn't understand it.

106
00:03:34,980 --> 00:03:36,220
It stood for fluid ounces.

107
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,580
No, it's florida ounces.

108
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,160
I mean, we're pretty lost when this stuff

109
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,620
happens.

110
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,940
Wow, that's a good one.

111
00:03:43,420 --> 00:03:44,400
That's a topper.

112
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,400
We are lost.

113
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,620
So, yeah, people don't know.

114
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,020
And by the way, all those conspiracies about

115
00:03:50,020 --> 00:03:54,660
the USA is now we're a corporation.

116
00:03:55,340 --> 00:03:57,080
All the letters are capital.

117
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:00,340
It all has to do with Washington, D

118
00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:02,220
.C. We're a corporation.

119
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,360
And so, of course, amongst all the noise

120
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,640
and all the blathering and all the habeas

121
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:07,980
corpus.

122
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,260
And this is from CBS.

123
00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:13,060
Indeed, what you do not hear is an

124
00:04:13,060 --> 00:04:15,740
actual legal challenge against the president doing this.

125
00:04:15,779 --> 00:04:17,640
Because it's well within his rights and everybody

126
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,240
knows it.

127
00:04:18,459 --> 00:04:21,680
Except people who measure things in florida ounces.

128
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,880
It's noteworthy, Errol, there's been no legal challenge

129
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,120
filed by the leaders of the District of

130
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,600
Columbia.

131
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:30,600
An indication they think the president is well

132
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,360
within his authority to unilaterally call up the

133
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,440
D.C. National Guard.

134
00:04:34,580 --> 00:04:37,180
Deploy them on the streets in a supportive

135
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:38,540
law enforcement mission.

136
00:04:38,540 --> 00:04:42,000
And to federalize the nearly 4,000-person

137
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,840
Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. Because

138
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:46,520
this is the District of Columbia.

139
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,820
Not a city, not a state.

140
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,480
The president has unique powers here.

141
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:53,640
The broader question, though, is what impact is

142
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,420
this going to have?

143
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,300
We know what it looks like so far.

144
00:04:56,380 --> 00:05:00,260
You see federal agents, FBI agents, alcohol, tobacco

145
00:05:00,260 --> 00:05:02,140
and firearm agents on the street.

146
00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:05,020
Almost side-by-side or block-by-block

147
00:05:05,020 --> 00:05:08,180
with D.C. police officers monitoring for street

148
00:05:08,180 --> 00:05:08,580
crime.

149
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:11,600
The National Guard still has yet to deploy

150
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,480
into the district itself.

151
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,760
Still readying themselves, readying their equipment.

152
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,580
We'll expect to see them by weeks end.

153
00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:20,060
But it's hard to get a gauge, Errol,

154
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,700
on what's going to be a determinative success

155
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:23,040
here.

156
00:05:23,260 --> 00:05:24,820
What means this worked?

157
00:05:25,260 --> 00:05:28,160
Is it a 30-day crime reduction in

158
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:28,600
the data?

159
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,800
Is it a no friction between the new

160
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,280
law enforcement on the ground and the residents

161
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,680
of Washington, D.C.? And can things change

162
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,720
in such a short window of time, over

163
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,520
30 days?

164
00:05:41,940 --> 00:05:43,700
And the mayor is arguing what you see

165
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:44,340
on the screen.

166
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,740
The crime is already down significantly from last

167
00:05:47,740 --> 00:05:48,060
year.

168
00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:50,940
Plummeting by more than 25 percent.

169
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,600
That includes robberies, that includes homicides.

170
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,300
And she says that's from partnering with the

171
00:05:56,300 --> 00:05:58,940
federal government and empowering the local police.

172
00:05:59,740 --> 00:06:01,460
So I have a question for you about

173
00:06:01,460 --> 00:06:05,020
D.C. I was born in Washington, D

174
00:06:05,020 --> 00:06:07,120
.C. My birth certificate, my passport.

175
00:06:07,340 --> 00:06:07,920
Oh really?

176
00:06:08,140 --> 00:06:09,640
You never mentioned that on the show and

177
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,560
I never knew that.

178
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,340
I thought you were born in Virginia.

179
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,940
Arlington Hospital, which is technically in Washington, D

180
00:06:15,940 --> 00:06:19,880
.C. So it says Washington, D.C. on

181
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:20,920
your birth certificate?

182
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,300
Yeah, on my birth certificate and my passport.

183
00:06:23,860 --> 00:06:24,400
So what am I?

184
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,420
Well, that explains a lot.

185
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,740
So what am I?

186
00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:28,200
Am I even a human?

187
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:28,980
Do I exist?

188
00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:30,160
No, you're a subhuman.

189
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:31,120
We've all known this.

190
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,760
Do I belong to President Trump?

191
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:33,880
Am I a member of Trump land?

192
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,920
Yes, he owns you.

193
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,380
You're his slave.

194
00:06:36,740 --> 00:06:40,760
So just like the Congresswoman Holmes, I exist,

195
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:41,540
but I have— Norton.

196
00:06:41,780 --> 00:06:42,120
Norton.

197
00:06:42,420 --> 00:06:43,560
Why do I say Holmes?

198
00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:44,500
Norton!

199
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,040
Elizabeth—what is her name?

200
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,940
Eleanor Norton?

201
00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:49,600
Is that her name?

202
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,720
Eleanor Holmes Norton or something like that.

203
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:52,480
I met her.

204
00:06:52,860 --> 00:06:54,340
Do you remember I met her?

205
00:06:57,540 --> 00:06:58,560
She's—oh, here we go.

206
00:06:58,740 --> 00:06:58,920
Yeah.

207
00:06:59,260 --> 00:07:00,460
I want to hear the story now.

208
00:07:00,460 --> 00:07:02,000
I want to say it was 2010 or

209
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,700
2012 and I was— You met up with

210
00:07:07,700 --> 00:07:07,820
her.

211
00:07:07,940 --> 00:07:11,400
She represents Washington and you were born there.

212
00:07:11,740 --> 00:07:13,080
Now I'm getting suspicious.

213
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,640
It was actually Wendell Potter had invited me

214
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,600
to see— Wendell Potter.

215
00:07:18,820 --> 00:07:19,860
There's a name for it.

216
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:20,860
The plot thickens.

217
00:07:20,860 --> 00:07:21,060
Yes.

218
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:25,360
And he had invited—I met him through the

219
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,240
big book show.

220
00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:27,460
Now we're going back.

221
00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:29,260
Now it gets worse.

222
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:31,400
The big book show.

223
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,880
And he wrote a book and it was

224
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,940
about how horrible health care was in America.

225
00:07:34,940 --> 00:07:36,040
And I was like, oh, that's kind of

226
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,720
an interesting guy.

227
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,340
And he said, you know, come to D

228
00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:41,240
.C. And this came up yesterday because Tina

229
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,220
said, have you ever been to D.C.?

230
00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:44,020
Of course I've been to D.C. But

231
00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:46,200
the most recently was about 15 years ago.

232
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:48,560
And the crime was already bad then.

233
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,780
It just felt bad.

234
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,540
The whole place felt, you know, dark.

235
00:07:52,660 --> 00:07:53,520
It was crime-ridden.

236
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,600
Dark and threatening.

237
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,700
And so I went— Put us down.

238
00:07:57,940 --> 00:07:59,700
So I went to—it's 25 percent.

239
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,040
So I went to see his movie and

240
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,900
I'm watching this movie and I'm like, something's

241
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:05,120
wrong about this movie.

242
00:08:05,580 --> 00:08:06,780
And then at the end, you know, they

243
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:09,400
have the filmmakers come up on the stage

244
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,800
and talk about the film.

245
00:08:11,340 --> 00:08:12,540
And there was Norton.

246
00:08:13,420 --> 00:08:17,080
And Norton's with Wendell Potter and it's all

247
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,120
about Obamacare.

248
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,960
Oh, this is going to save everything.

249
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,960
I'm like, what?

250
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,220
I was totally snookered by that guy.

251
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,480
So that's when I met her and I'm

252
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,260
like, you are— Talk about a bad vibe.

253
00:08:29,380 --> 00:08:32,299
She just exudes nothing but bad vibe, mainly

254
00:08:32,299 --> 00:08:35,340
because she's a representative and is not allowed

255
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:35,780
to vote.

256
00:08:38,380 --> 00:08:39,320
That's the whole thing.

257
00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:41,900
No, she's just allowed to make a fuss.

258
00:08:42,020 --> 00:08:43,179
A fuss, exactly.

259
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:44,980
I have two D.C. clips.

260
00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:45,600
All right.

261
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,100
No real background on what's going on.

262
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:51,760
But interesting clips because this one kind of

263
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,060
came and went from— ABC played this.

264
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,720
It's a Bureau Girl.

265
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:56,960
I heard this one.

266
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,180
Yeah, this is a good—this woman comes out

267
00:08:59,180 --> 00:09:01,000
and she's— this has kind of been quashed,

268
00:09:01,060 --> 00:09:03,280
but this is the D.C. story, ABC

269
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,040
Bureau Girl.

270
00:09:04,420 --> 00:09:06,480
I can tell you firsthand here in downtown

271
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,400
D.C., where we work, right here around

272
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,560
our bureau, just in the past six months,

273
00:09:11,820 --> 00:09:13,240
you know, there were two people shot.

274
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,680
One person died literally two blocks down here

275
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:16,320
from the bureau.

276
00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:19,820
It was within the last two years that

277
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:22,240
I actually was jumped walking just two blocks

278
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,200
down from here.

279
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,640
And then just this morning, one of my

280
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,000
coworkers said her car was stolen a block

281
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,020
away from the bureau.

282
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,840
Nothing to see here.

283
00:09:32,540 --> 00:09:33,660
There's nothing to see here.

284
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:34,580
Everything's fine.

285
00:09:34,580 --> 00:09:37,340
And then, of course, that contrast with my

286
00:09:37,340 --> 00:09:39,460
D.C. super cut, which it could have

287
00:09:39,460 --> 00:09:39,900
been better.

288
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,820
I didn't—I put some time into it, but

289
00:09:41,820 --> 00:09:44,580
I could have—it went—it did went 146.

290
00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:46,220
But this is a D.C. crime.

291
00:09:46,380 --> 00:09:47,440
It was a crime super cut.

292
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,100
When I go to D.C., I'm not

293
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:52,060
afraid of losing my wallet so much as

294
00:09:52,060 --> 00:09:53,200
I'm afraid of losing my vote.

295
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:55,880
I'm not afraid of losing my wallet so

296
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,880
much as I'm afraid that my children's freedom

297
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,800
to breathe will be stolen in a world

298
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,360
where climate change policy is non-existent.

299
00:10:03,580 --> 00:10:05,560
Hey, Jen, you know, people ask me as

300
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:07,440
a journalist, are you—you know, are you worried

301
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,880
about the way things are going with this

302
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,780
administration, them coming after you and all that

303
00:10:10,780 --> 00:10:11,160
kind of stuff?

304
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,340
And I think whatever my answer is, it's

305
00:10:13,340 --> 00:10:14,680
like double for you, right?

306
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,720
You're a journalist and you were in the

307
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,380
administration.

308
00:10:17,780 --> 00:10:18,500
Just accrue to me.

309
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,140
If I'm—I need to find out if you're

310
00:10:20,140 --> 00:10:21,400
scared, because if you're not scared, then I'm

311
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:21,600
good.

312
00:10:22,420 --> 00:10:24,400
You know, I try not to be.

313
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:27,360
So many people have been calling me over

314
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,460
the past couple days going, you know, like,

315
00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:32,980
Washington should have gotten involved years ago.

316
00:10:33,060 --> 00:10:34,400
This place is dangerous.

317
00:10:34,580 --> 00:10:35,160
It's a mess.

318
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,080
It's a wreck and whatever.

319
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,860
And then they'll go on Twitter, and go,

320
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,820
this is the worst outrage of all time.

321
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:42,560
They're jockeying.

322
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,500
I don't care what the crime statistics say.

323
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,300
Crime has been a problem in this city

324
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:51,360
for the 32 years I've been living inside

325
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,120
and outside of the city.

326
00:10:53,780 --> 00:10:56,200
If, in fact, this only lasts for 30

327
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,700
days, it couldn't possibly have much of an

328
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:01,980
impact on crime in D.C. And this

329
00:11:01,980 --> 00:11:04,960
may be simply a media event to say

330
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,520
that the president is concerned about crime, but

331
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,940
in fact have nothing—may accomplish nothing in D

332
00:11:11,940 --> 00:11:13,080
.C. or anywhere else.

333
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:15,660
The president is doing this not in order

334
00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:18,000
to make the city safer— that's the job

335
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,940
of local law enforcement— but to solve his

336
00:11:20,940 --> 00:11:21,960
own political problems.

337
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,660
He needs to get his base talking and

338
00:11:24,660 --> 00:11:28,020
thinking about something besides his refusal to open

339
00:11:28,020 --> 00:11:29,080
up the exodus files.

340
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,460
Donald Trump makes himself Batman, and the nation's

341
00:11:32,460 --> 00:11:33,660
capital is Gotham City.

342
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:37,580
Well, for sure, for sure, everything needs to

343
00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:38,600
distract from Epstein.

344
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,860
We cannot have that.

345
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,000
And I think that plan is working.

346
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,080
You're like, eh, whatever, moving on.

347
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:50,220
Normal people, not obsessed with X, eh, they've

348
00:11:50,220 --> 00:11:51,200
forgotten about it.

349
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,720
Because, you know, they're still trying to figure

350
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,080
out, what is a Florida ounce?

351
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,180
I don't get it.

352
00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:56,560
A Florida ounce.

353
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:57,400
I'm confused.

354
00:11:57,420 --> 00:11:58,620
By the way, show title.

355
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,340
Yeah, I thought that was a possibility.

356
00:12:00,780 --> 00:12:01,640
Yeah, Florida ounce.

357
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,220
There is another motive here for the president,

358
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,320
and this could be a signature move for

359
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:08,600
him.

360
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,560
And we'll only know a little down the

361
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:12,500
line how well that turns out, because whenever

362
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:14,740
you have a crime bill, you don't want

363
00:12:14,740 --> 00:12:16,060
it to stick to your name if it

364
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:17,560
starts arresting the wrong people.

365
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,540
Well, if it's a national emergency, we can

366
00:12:19,540 --> 00:12:21,360
do it without Congress, but we expect to

367
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,160
be to Congress, before Congress, very quickly.

368
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,880
And again, we think the Democrats will not

369
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,780
do anything to stop crime, but we think

370
00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:31,040
the Republicans will do it almost unanimously.

371
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,680
So we're going to need a crime bill

372
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:36,660
that we're going to be putting in, and

373
00:12:36,660 --> 00:12:39,040
it's going to pertain initially to D.C.

374
00:12:39,340 --> 00:12:41,240
It's almost, we're going to use it as

375
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,360
a very positive example, and we're going to

376
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,240
be asking for extensions on that, long-term

377
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,120
extensions, because you can't have 30 days.

378
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,880
30 days is, that's by the time you

379
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:51,300
do it.

380
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,740
We're going to have this in good shape,

381
00:12:53,860 --> 00:12:57,640
and don't forget, in the border, everyone said

382
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,100
it would take years, and you'd have to

383
00:12:59,100 --> 00:12:59,860
go back to Congress.

384
00:12:59,860 --> 00:13:01,360
I never went to Congress for anything.

385
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,820
I just said, close the border, and they

386
00:13:04,820 --> 00:13:07,260
closed the border, and that was the end

387
00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:07,520
of it.

388
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:08,720
I didn't go back to Congress.

389
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,240
We're going to do this very quickly, but

390
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,280
we're going to want extensions.

391
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:14,000
I don't want to call a national emergency.

392
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,420
If I have to, I will, but I

393
00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:18,820
think the Republicans in Congress will approve this

394
00:13:18,820 --> 00:13:19,920
pretty much unanimously.

395
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:23,060
Yeah, this is the big, this will be

396
00:13:23,060 --> 00:13:24,940
a signature move, almost as big as the

397
00:13:24,940 --> 00:13:25,540
stable coin.

398
00:13:25,540 --> 00:13:28,940
It'll be the Trump crime bill, and you

399
00:13:28,940 --> 00:13:31,820
better check it twice, because that can get

400
00:13:31,820 --> 00:13:32,380
pretty ugly.

401
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,760
Before you know it, you're a racist.

402
00:13:36,540 --> 00:13:38,920
Well, he's been called a racist already for

403
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,300
naming.

404
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,640
The racist, the thesis goes like this.

405
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,000
Trump wants to end and lower crime in

406
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,540
black-controlled cities like Oakland, Baltimore, etc.

407
00:13:50,540 --> 00:13:54,460
He wants to make crime go down in

408
00:13:54,460 --> 00:13:56,940
those black cities, so he's a racist.

409
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:57,940
That is racist.

410
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,620
By definition, racist.

411
00:14:01,620 --> 00:14:02,700
You know, I feel like a bit of,

412
00:14:02,820 --> 00:14:04,800
this of course is also, everything's about the

413
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:05,380
midterms.

414
00:14:05,460 --> 00:14:06,520
You and I have discussed that.

415
00:14:06,860 --> 00:14:08,980
I feel like a bit of a dope

416
00:14:08,980 --> 00:14:16,400
not having understood really the system of illegal

417
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,440
immigration, what the whole gambit was, from the

418
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,120
Democrat Party mainly.

419
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,000
Probably completely.

420
00:14:25,060 --> 00:14:28,080
And the gambit was always the census.

421
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:29,360
Right.

422
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:33,420
That's what, if you remember in 2020, they

423
00:14:33,420 --> 00:14:35,720
made a big fuss about, they tried to

424
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,900
put a checkbox, are you an illegal alien?

425
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,500
And the Democrats fought it tooth and nail,

426
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,240
said, no, no, we have to count everybody.

427
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,000
They're here, they have to be counted.

428
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,280
They're here, they have to be counted.

429
00:14:47,700 --> 00:14:49,000
And that was, of course, so that you

430
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,240
get some more people in certain states, California

431
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,060
being one of them.

432
00:14:53,180 --> 00:14:53,400
Yes.

433
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,140
So you get more representatives.

434
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,280
Yeah, well, that's the point.

435
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,020
And that's, I just feel dumb about it.

436
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,840
I mean, everyone always says, well, they just

437
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,100
want more Democrat voters.

438
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,100
They're going to vote illegally.

439
00:15:04,620 --> 00:15:06,760
No, the whole point was the districting.

440
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,800
Well, we'll stop for a second.

441
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,460
With the recent busting of the people in,

442
00:15:15,580 --> 00:15:16,740
I forgot what state it was.

443
00:15:16,820 --> 00:15:21,080
There was some whistleblower woman came out, she

444
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,800
was working for DMV, where they were selling

445
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,440
driver's licenses to illegals, 200 bucks a piece.

446
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:30,280
And they want the votes.

447
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,600
I mean, yes, the reapportionment was the main

448
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,580
reason that they wanted millions of aliens in

449
00:15:36,580 --> 00:15:36,820
here.

450
00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:38,120
And a lot of them never were going

451
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:38,440
to vote.

452
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,140
But there are some voters too.

453
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,660
But that was just bonus.

454
00:15:41,940 --> 00:15:44,640
I mean, the real, with the census, the

455
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,420
big deal is how many representatives you get

456
00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:49,380
in Congress.

457
00:15:49,380 --> 00:15:53,000
That's really the big win by counting everybody.

458
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,660
I think what you're referring to was Trump

459
00:15:55,660 --> 00:15:57,340
versus New York in 2020.

460
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:00,940
And it was a U.S. Supreme Court

461
00:16:00,940 --> 00:16:03,500
case, but they punched it back down.

462
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:06,100
They said, no, no, this is, we're not

463
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:07,400
going to talk about this now.

464
00:16:07,820 --> 00:16:09,440
They didn't want to deal with it at

465
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:09,840
the time.

466
00:16:09,940 --> 00:16:12,960
And so that stayed in the lower courts.

467
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:17,380
But I just wanted to, let me dive

468
00:16:17,380 --> 00:16:18,120
in for a second.

469
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,120
I just wanted to dive in with a

470
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,520
little explanation of the census, because now we're

471
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,380
getting to words, words that matter.

472
00:16:27,180 --> 00:16:29,540
I should probably read it verbatim.

473
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,220
The U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 2,

474
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:32,820
Clause 3.

475
00:16:32,820 --> 00:16:36,800
Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among

476
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,520
the several states which may be included with

477
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,820
this union according to their respective numbers, which

478
00:16:42,820 --> 00:16:44,740
shall be determined by adding to the whole

479
00:16:44,740 --> 00:16:47,940
number of free persons, including those bound to

480
00:16:47,940 --> 00:16:50,120
service for a term of 10 years and

481
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,280
excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all

482
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,720
other persons, slaves.

483
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,460
The actual enumeration, which I think is an

484
00:16:58,460 --> 00:17:00,820
important word, shall be made within three years

485
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:02,820
after the first meeting of the Congress of

486
00:17:02,820 --> 00:17:04,859
the United States and within every subsequent term

487
00:17:04,859 --> 00:17:07,260
of 10 years in such matter as they

488
00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:08,460
show by law direct.

489
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,420
And, of course, the real bummer for counting

490
00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:15,819
came with the 14th Amendment, Section 2, and

491
00:17:15,819 --> 00:17:16,880
that was 1868.

492
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,839
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states

493
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,520
according to their respective numbers, counting the whole

494
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,480
number of persons in each state, excluding Indians

495
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:26,359
not taxed.

496
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,620
These Indians are annoying.

497
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:31,380
This removed the three-fifths clause ensuring all

498
00:17:31,380 --> 00:17:34,040
persons except untaxed Native Americans are fully counted

499
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:34,760
for representation.

500
00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:37,960
So, in every case where this comes up,

501
00:17:38,140 --> 00:17:41,180
the Democrats in general could easily be the

502
00:17:41,180 --> 00:17:42,820
Republicans if the tables are turned.

503
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,260
They say, no, no, 14th Amendment supersedes that

504
00:17:46,260 --> 00:17:49,900
and it's the whole number, not just enumerated

505
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:52,740
the free persons, but the whole number.

506
00:17:53,660 --> 00:17:57,140
So I found CBS had a reasonable explanation

507
00:17:57,140 --> 00:17:59,980
of how this all works and its importance.

508
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,260
President Trump is calling on the Department of

509
00:18:02,260 --> 00:18:04,180
Commerce to make a new census.

510
00:18:04,780 --> 00:18:07,060
The president wants the department to, quote, begin

511
00:18:07,060 --> 00:18:10,060
work on a new, highly accurate census based

512
00:18:10,060 --> 00:18:11,880
on modern-day facts and figures.

513
00:18:12,460 --> 00:18:14,040
He goes on to say people who are

514
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,640
in our country illegally will not be counted

515
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,560
in the census.

516
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,640
Now, for more on this, I'm joined by

517
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,660
Hansi Lo Wang.

518
00:18:20,660 --> 00:18:22,840
He's a correspondent at the Washington desk for

519
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,480
NPR.

520
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,340
Hansi, thanks so much for joining us.

521
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,000
First off, I think a lot of people

522
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,760
aren't clear on what the census process actually

523
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,600
looks like.

524
00:18:30,660 --> 00:18:31,480
Can you explain that?

525
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,220
When we're talking about the census, we are

526
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:35,620
talking about the bedrock of U.S. democracy.

527
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,880
The Constitution lays out instructions for a count

528
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,500
of persons every 10 years.

529
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,580
It's a count of persons.

530
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:44,160
You won't find the word citizen in the

531
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,120
Constitution's instructions.

532
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:48,960
And since 1790, there's been a thorny history

533
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,920
of exactly which persons residing in the country

534
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,900
was counted and by how much.

535
00:18:54,340 --> 00:18:56,080
But one thing is true, which is that

536
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,120
no resident of the United States without immigration,

537
00:19:00,020 --> 00:19:03,120
without legal status in the United States has

538
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:04,600
been left out of the census.

539
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,760
And these are numbers used to determine each

540
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,540
state's share of congressional seats and electoral college

541
00:19:09,540 --> 00:19:09,820
votes.

542
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:10,160
All right.

543
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,440
So that's pretty much what I said.

544
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,360
And so what if changes are possible?

545
00:19:14,540 --> 00:19:16,480
What exactly is President Trump going for?

546
00:19:16,580 --> 00:19:17,860
And it does have to run through the

547
00:19:17,860 --> 00:19:18,680
commerce secretary.

548
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,260
And I believe can only really be adjusted

549
00:19:21,260 --> 00:19:23,240
or recounted with Congress.

550
00:19:23,420 --> 00:19:26,240
Now, is it even possible to make changes

551
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,340
before the next census?

552
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,080
You know, like during the midterms?

553
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,220
That's an interesting question, because I think the

554
00:19:32,220 --> 00:19:34,280
real question is, what is President Trump calling

555
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:34,520
for?

556
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,100
He's calling for a new census.

557
00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:38,340
Does he mean the 2030 census?

558
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,100
The preparations are already underway for that.

559
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:42,060
Is he calling for a new census before

560
00:19:42,060 --> 00:19:42,800
2030?

561
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,040
That's a big question to answer, because that

562
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,480
means how much time is left to prepare

563
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:49,200
for this census.

564
00:19:49,340 --> 00:19:51,760
The Census Bureau takes more than a decade

565
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,760
to prepare for a census.

566
00:19:53,260 --> 00:19:56,740
And then the question about potentially excluding people

567
00:19:56,740 --> 00:20:00,260
living in the states without legal status, that's

568
00:20:00,260 --> 00:20:02,280
a big question, because the 14th Amendment of

569
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,220
the Constitution calls for the whole number of

570
00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:07,980
persons to be included in the numbers used

571
00:20:07,980 --> 00:20:10,500
to redistribute House seats and electoral college votes.

572
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,380
So the question of possibility here, there are

573
00:20:12,380 --> 00:20:13,620
a lot of other questions that we need

574
00:20:13,620 --> 00:20:14,260
answered first.

575
00:20:14,380 --> 00:20:16,860
And I will point out that we discussed

576
00:20:16,860 --> 00:20:19,340
this very issue coming up two shows ago

577
00:20:19,340 --> 00:20:21,920
last Thursday, and no one was talking about

578
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,060
it, and we were on the inside track.

579
00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:25,920
A little ball spike.

580
00:20:26,860 --> 00:20:30,680
So this Heine, what's his name?

581
00:20:31,980 --> 00:20:33,200
He's from NPR.

582
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,520
So he did a better report on NPR,

583
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,660
which explains the tactics and the strategy of

584
00:20:40,660 --> 00:20:44,400
the Trump administration to get the old census,

585
00:20:44,580 --> 00:20:47,700
as far as I can understand, recounted, excluding

586
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:51,300
illegal aliens or maybe people who don't live

587
00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:51,860
here anymore.

588
00:20:52,020 --> 00:20:54,520
NPR has learned new details about how the

589
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,640
Census Bureau is responding to President Trump's call

590
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,060
for a new census.

591
00:20:58,060 --> 00:21:01,060
That call comes as Trump keeps pushing some

592
00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:03,740
states to use census data to redraw voting

593
00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:06,000
maps and help Republicans keep control of the

594
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,100
U.S. House of Representatives.

595
00:21:07,260 --> 00:21:07,660
Exactly.

596
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,380
Here's NPR's Hansi Lo Wang.

597
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:11,680
This week, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who oversees

598
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,420
the Census Bureau, acknowledged that Congress, not Trump,

599
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,540
has final say of the population count that's

600
00:21:16,540 --> 00:21:18,560
used to determine each state's share of seats

601
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,400
in the House of Representatives, as according to

602
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,260
three bureau employees who heard a town hall

603
00:21:22,260 --> 00:21:23,740
event with Lutnick and asked not to be

604
00:21:23,740 --> 00:21:25,120
named because they fear retaliation.

605
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:28,480
Some House Republicans have recently proposed changing census

606
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:28,880
law.

607
00:21:29,180 --> 00:21:30,680
Well, I was talking with President Trump on

608
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:31,100
the phone.

609
00:21:31,180 --> 00:21:31,540
There we go.

610
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,920
Including Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.

611
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,900
And I told him that my idea is

612
00:21:36,900 --> 00:21:40,120
to have a bill that immediately calls for

613
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:41,260
a new census.

614
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:43,460
Speaking with the right-wing media outlet Real

615
00:21:43,460 --> 00:21:45,700
America's Voice, Greene also called for a new

616
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:47,660
distribution of House seats and round- I

617
00:21:47,660 --> 00:21:49,220
love how they have to add that in

618
00:21:49,220 --> 00:21:49,360
there.

619
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,060
Speaking with the right-wing news outlet America's

620
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:54,860
Voice, do you identify yourself as the left

621
00:21:54,860 --> 00:21:56,300
-wing news outlet NPR?

622
00:21:56,660 --> 00:21:56,820
No.

623
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,900
To have a bill that immediately calls for

624
00:21:59,900 --> 00:22:01,100
a new census.

625
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaking with the right-wing media outlet Real

626
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,480
America's Voice, Greene also called for a new

627
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,020
distribution of House seats and round of redistricting

628
00:22:08,020 --> 00:22:09,840
before next year's midterm election.

629
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,540
Well, I'll speak for both of us.

630
00:22:11,660 --> 00:22:12,100
We love it.

631
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,140
Last month, President Trump publicly backed Greene's bill,

632
00:22:15,340 --> 00:22:17,660
along with Florida's Republican governor, Ron DeSantis.

633
00:22:18,100 --> 00:22:20,120
I know they've considered doing another census.

634
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:22,400
Who has said the Trump administration has thought

635
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,780
about counting before the next scheduled tally in

636
00:22:24,780 --> 00:22:25,260
2030.

637
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:26,480
Because I think you have to do it

638
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,600
once every 10 years.

639
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,100
It doesn't mean you can't do it more

640
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:31,200
than every 10 years under the Constitution.

641
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,980
Any attempt at a census before 2030 would

642
00:22:33,980 --> 00:22:35,300
likely be challenged in court.

643
00:22:35,660 --> 00:22:37,660
Trump and other Republicans are calling to alter

644
00:22:37,660 --> 00:22:40,480
census numbers that the 14th Amendment says must

645
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,600
include the, quote, whole number of persons in

646
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,260
each state by excluding some or all residents

647
00:22:46,260 --> 00:22:47,440
without U.S. citizenship.

648
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,540
We won't hesitate to go back to court

649
00:22:49,540 --> 00:22:52,220
to protect representation for all communities.

650
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:54,640
Sophia Lynn Lincoln of the American Civil Liberties

651
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,860
Union says she'll be monitoring the Trump administration's

652
00:22:56,860 --> 00:22:57,880
next census moves.

653
00:22:58,380 --> 00:23:00,140
So far, the Commerce Department says the Census

654
00:23:00,140 --> 00:23:03,240
Bureau will use, quote, modern technology tools to

655
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,500
analyze data in response to Trump's recent call.

656
00:23:05,660 --> 00:23:06,080
AI!

657
00:23:06,460 --> 00:23:07,840
Throw it into AI!

658
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,340
That'll fix it.

659
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,800
They're serious about this.

660
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,040
I think they could maybe do something with

661
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:17,720
Congress.

662
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:18,700
They're going to get nowhere.

663
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,560
They're going to try.

664
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,940
Yeah, well, they're going to try.

665
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:25,980
They're having enough trouble just reapportioning Texas.

666
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:28,980
You know, it's enough of a headache.

667
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:31,860
That's because they're just full of hot air,

668
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:33,540
not actually doing anything.

669
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,180
Oh, constitutional lawyer Rob actually sent me something.

670
00:23:39,300 --> 00:23:44,000
He said Friday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxson

671
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,500
filed a quo warranto, which is kind of

672
00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:48,360
a cool band name.

673
00:23:48,620 --> 00:23:50,380
Hey, everybody, we're quo warranto.

674
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,360
That is a cool band name.

675
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:56,700
He filed that in the Texas Supreme Court.

676
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,440
It was interesting, says constitutional lawyer Rob.

677
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,780
He says rapid action will happen from this.

678
00:24:09,460 --> 00:24:11,360
And he thinks that there will be a

679
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:15,920
conditional writ of quo warranto giving the Democrats

680
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,800
48 hours to return to work.

681
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,440
If they don't return, their seats will be

682
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,900
automatically declared vacant.

683
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,260
And then the governor, Abbott, can pack the

684
00:24:25,260 --> 00:24:27,380
seats with loyalists.

685
00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:29,060
Yeah, that's what you do.

686
00:24:29,140 --> 00:24:30,220
That sounds like a good idea.

687
00:24:30,460 --> 00:24:31,740
Play the Beto clip.

688
00:24:31,860 --> 00:24:32,780
This is even funnier.

689
00:24:33,980 --> 00:24:36,700
Remind me to read the next paragraph in

690
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:37,140
his...

691
00:24:37,980 --> 00:24:39,160
I sense that.

692
00:24:39,260 --> 00:24:40,440
That's when we get this clip out of

693
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:40,540
the way.

694
00:24:40,860 --> 00:24:41,460
Nailed it.

695
00:24:41,460 --> 00:24:43,680
Texas wants Beto behind bars.

696
00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:46,020
The state's attorney general asking a district judge

697
00:24:46,020 --> 00:24:49,400
to jail Beto O'Rourke for bankrolling Texas

698
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,880
Dems who fled the state during their redistricting

699
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,360
fight.

700
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,260
Ken Paxson claims Beto violated a court order

701
00:24:55,260 --> 00:24:58,440
that barred him and his nonprofit, Powered by

702
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,860
the People, from fundraising efforts.

703
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,260
So here to discuss his allegations is Texas

704
00:25:03,260 --> 00:25:04,560
Attorney General Ken Paxson.

705
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,620
He's also running for the U.S. Senate.

706
00:25:06,820 --> 00:25:09,960
So, Mr. Attorney General, let's talk to you

707
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,620
about some of the comments that Beto made

708
00:25:11,620 --> 00:25:12,300
over the weekend.

709
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,800
Listen here and we'll get your response.

710
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:17,060
We punch first and we punch harder.

711
00:25:17,460 --> 00:25:20,180
We want California and New Jersey and Illinois

712
00:25:20,180 --> 00:25:23,000
and Maryland and every other state where the

713
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,120
Democrats hold the governor's mansion, the assembly, and

714
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:29,060
the state senate to redraw their congressional districts

715
00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:31,840
now, not wait for Texas to move first,

716
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,640
to maximize Democratic Party advantage.

717
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,960
Listen, you may say to yourself, well, those

718
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:38,660
aren't the rules.

719
00:25:38,660 --> 00:25:40,540
There are no refs in this game.

720
00:25:40,580 --> 00:25:41,360
F*** the rules.

721
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:43,460
We are going to win whatever it takes.

722
00:25:43,780 --> 00:25:46,860
So is that why Beto is potentially getting

723
00:25:46,860 --> 00:25:48,400
locked up or is there a bigger reason?

724
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,020
No, that's pretty much it.

725
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:50,840
You saw it right there.

726
00:25:50,980 --> 00:25:53,000
There was already a temporary restraining order that

727
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,640
stopped him from raising money, and he was

728
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,520
at that rally clearly raising money for not

729
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,960
political reasons, which would have been appropriate.

730
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,660
He was raising it for personal expenses to

731
00:26:04,660 --> 00:26:07,880
help these Democrats in Texas evade their responsibilities.

732
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,640
That's the problem, and he was ordered by

733
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,620
a judge to stop fundraising, and he said

734
00:26:12,620 --> 00:26:14,980
basically he just continued to do it.

735
00:26:15,660 --> 00:26:17,780
That's interesting because Rob has a different take

736
00:26:17,780 --> 00:26:18,600
on this.

737
00:26:20,180 --> 00:26:22,260
I was the attorney general, so that's probably

738
00:26:22,260 --> 00:26:23,160
the official take.

739
00:26:23,820 --> 00:26:27,620
Well, the official messaging, it's the Beto bribes,

740
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:28,060
everybody.

741
00:26:29,020 --> 00:26:32,240
Paxson says, not only does what Beto is

742
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,760
doing violate the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act,

743
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,340
but also is a form of felony bribery

744
00:26:38,340 --> 00:26:40,560
because it constitutes a benefit given to a

745
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,580
public servant in exchange for violating his duties.

746
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,000
So Beto bribes.

747
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:47,940
Wow, Mike, what's happening?

748
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:49,520
I would think, you know, of course, I

749
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,620
think Beto who— Beto, Beto, Beto.

750
00:26:51,620 --> 00:26:52,940
I keep thinking it's Beta.

751
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:53,620
It's Beto.

752
00:26:53,820 --> 00:26:56,020
Beta O'Rourke is kind of a Beta.

753
00:26:56,180 --> 00:26:58,080
You've got to say Beto, Beto, Beto.

754
00:26:58,940 --> 00:26:59,380
Beto.

755
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,900
Beto is looking, you know, he just can't

756
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:05,560
get out of politics because of his wife,

757
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,780
you know, he's basically the one who forces

758
00:27:07,780 --> 00:27:08,840
him into being a politician.

759
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:09,920
Yeah, because she's got the money.

760
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,340
She's got to do something with the money.

761
00:27:11,340 --> 00:27:12,220
She's got the money and she keeps pushing.

762
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,460
You'd be good at this, you know, kind

763
00:27:14,460 --> 00:27:14,840
of thing.

764
00:27:15,420 --> 00:27:16,740
He's just a wimpy guy.

765
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:17,260
He's horrible.

766
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,260
But I think he would love to get

767
00:27:20,260 --> 00:27:23,120
arrested and thrown in jail so he could

768
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:23,900
be a martyr.

769
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:24,420
Oh, yeah, yeah.

770
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:25,920
You're right.

771
00:27:26,260 --> 00:27:29,380
To get more attention to him, get himself

772
00:27:29,380 --> 00:27:30,020
more attention.

773
00:27:30,140 --> 00:27:32,000
I went to jail for the republic.

774
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,860
I mean, you see it a mile away.

775
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,780
Do you remember when the Democrats thought, oh,

776
00:27:38,820 --> 00:27:40,060
he's so cool, he skateboards.

777
00:27:41,460 --> 00:27:42,420
He skateboards.

778
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,920
Maybe he was skateboarding on the stages when

779
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:45,500
he was running.

780
00:27:45,660 --> 00:27:47,600
Oh, I forgot all about the fact that

781
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:48,000
he skateboards.

782
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,000
And he was drumming to Phil Collins in

783
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,460
the air tonight while in the drive-through

784
00:27:53,460 --> 00:27:56,280
line for Whataburger or whatever he was doing.

785
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,340
Oh, I missed that, too.

786
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:00,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

787
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:01,620
He's horrible.

788
00:28:01,620 --> 00:28:03,700
Yeah, I think Beto the Rockstar.

789
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:06,580
Do we have a— You can't go 10

790
00:28:06,580 --> 00:28:09,160
feet without an interruption from a Beto backer.

791
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:09,480
Thank you so much.

792
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,120
I love you, too.

793
00:28:10,260 --> 00:28:10,740
Thank you all.

794
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,520
You're a rock star.

795
00:28:11,620 --> 00:28:13,700
No, no, there's just so many great people

796
00:28:13,700 --> 00:28:13,800
who are— No, you really are.

797
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,640
You can't go anywhere without getting— Hey!

798
00:28:16,340 --> 00:28:16,780
Hey!

799
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,000
You're a rock star, said the mainstream media.

800
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:21,120
You're a rock star.

801
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:21,960
You're the best.

802
00:28:24,650 --> 00:28:25,490
Hey, it's a new voice.

803
00:28:26,430 --> 00:28:28,590
That voice is almost identical to that woman's

804
00:28:28,590 --> 00:28:28,970
voice.

805
00:28:29,570 --> 00:28:30,470
That was pretty good.

806
00:28:30,710 --> 00:28:31,070
You're a rock star, Beto.

807
00:28:31,070 --> 00:28:32,570
It took me a couple of beats before

808
00:28:32,570 --> 00:28:34,190
I figured out it wasn't her.

809
00:28:34,250 --> 00:28:36,090
You're the best skate— Can I get on

810
00:28:36,090 --> 00:28:37,130
the back of your skateboard?

811
00:28:37,770 --> 00:28:39,070
Meow, meow.

812
00:28:39,750 --> 00:28:41,410
It's a new voice.

813
00:28:41,650 --> 00:28:42,030
It's a good voice.

814
00:28:42,310 --> 00:28:44,510
Hey, by the way, important information.

815
00:28:45,430 --> 00:28:46,550
It's come to light.

816
00:28:46,790 --> 00:28:47,110
Mm-hmm.

817
00:28:48,190 --> 00:28:50,810
I believe we have not only discovered the

818
00:28:50,810 --> 00:28:53,510
reason for our downward-trending Troll Room numbers,

819
00:28:53,570 --> 00:28:55,830
but have also fixed and addressed the issue.

820
00:28:56,750 --> 00:28:57,490
Ah, okay.

821
00:28:57,670 --> 00:28:58,590
This is good news.

822
00:28:58,670 --> 00:28:59,390
Yes, it is.

823
00:28:59,390 --> 00:29:01,190
And it's been going on for several weeks,

824
00:29:01,570 --> 00:29:03,010
and— We noticed.

825
00:29:03,210 --> 00:29:03,490
Yeah.

826
00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:07,330
People were—it's very difficult to get reports from

827
00:29:07,330 --> 00:29:08,730
people who are like, It doesn't work!

828
00:29:09,710 --> 00:29:12,690
You know, screenshot, it doesn't work.

829
00:29:13,090 --> 00:29:16,270
So trying to get technical analysis is very,

830
00:29:16,330 --> 00:29:16,970
very difficult.

831
00:29:16,990 --> 00:29:20,350
But it was actually Rocky Thomas who donated

832
00:29:20,350 --> 00:29:21,570
on the last show, and I'm doing the

833
00:29:21,570 --> 00:29:24,330
speech with her, our last speech, fireside chat

834
00:29:24,330 --> 00:29:27,350
at Podcast Movement on Tuesday in Dallas.

835
00:29:27,970 --> 00:29:31,830
What kind of a—is it a—never mind.

836
00:29:32,130 --> 00:29:34,230
There was a moment there where there was

837
00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:35,710
a funny line, and I just— Yeah, you

838
00:29:35,710 --> 00:29:36,250
just choked.

839
00:29:36,310 --> 00:29:36,810
You choked.

840
00:29:37,230 --> 00:29:37,930
I choked.

841
00:29:38,290 --> 00:29:38,550
You choked.

842
00:29:38,630 --> 00:29:39,810
You choked on it, man.

843
00:29:40,090 --> 00:29:40,750
I choked.

844
00:29:41,570 --> 00:29:44,570
Now, she's technically very adept, and she said,

845
00:29:45,070 --> 00:29:46,950
You know, I've been trying to listen to

846
00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:49,050
the livestream with the Fountain app.

847
00:29:49,590 --> 00:29:51,370
And then so she sent me a screenshot

848
00:29:51,370 --> 00:29:53,950
with an actual error message, like, Oh, thank

849
00:29:53,950 --> 00:29:54,070
you.

850
00:29:54,070 --> 00:29:54,650
This is good.

851
00:29:54,650 --> 00:29:56,510
So I talk it over with Void Zero,

852
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:59,230
and it was odd because it would happen

853
00:29:59,230 --> 00:30:02,250
to people— it happened a lot with people

854
00:30:02,250 --> 00:30:04,210
on what we thought was only iPhones on

855
00:30:04,210 --> 00:30:07,990
AT&T, and then they'd switch to a

856
00:30:07,990 --> 00:30:09,590
Wi-Fi network, and it wouldn't be a

857
00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:12,170
problem on the same phone.

858
00:30:12,590 --> 00:30:14,250
And then people would have trouble at home

859
00:30:14,250 --> 00:30:16,430
on a Wi-Fi network, and then there

860
00:30:16,430 --> 00:30:18,830
were Android—so we're trying to figure, Is it

861
00:30:18,830 --> 00:30:20,450
a phone problem?

862
00:30:20,650 --> 00:30:22,170
Is it a network problem?

863
00:30:22,890 --> 00:30:25,290
You'll never guess what the problem was.

864
00:30:26,650 --> 00:30:27,730
I'll never guess.

865
00:30:28,030 --> 00:30:29,030
But you got to try one.

866
00:30:29,090 --> 00:30:30,250
One guess at least.

867
00:30:31,610 --> 00:30:34,470
It was a configuration problem.

868
00:30:35,350 --> 00:30:36,030
Yes.

869
00:30:36,270 --> 00:30:36,610
Config.

870
00:30:36,850 --> 00:30:40,310
And the config issue was IPv6.

871
00:30:42,550 --> 00:30:46,990
So people's phones would be sometimes hitting IPv4,

872
00:30:47,690 --> 00:30:50,550
which is the old addressing scheme, and sometimes

873
00:30:50,550 --> 00:30:54,410
IPv6, and what Void Zero is sleuthing because

874
00:30:54,410 --> 00:30:57,750
he— Void Zero, when I say, Hey, man,

875
00:30:58,130 --> 00:31:02,450
something's wrong here— IPv6 is a huge problem.

876
00:31:02,790 --> 00:31:03,030
Yes.

877
00:31:03,330 --> 00:31:04,510
I shut it off everywhere.

878
00:31:04,670 --> 00:31:05,730
I don't have IPv6.

879
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:06,590
I have it shut off on all my

880
00:31:06,590 --> 00:31:06,910
systems.

881
00:31:07,490 --> 00:31:09,230
I'm just going to use up the Internet.

882
00:31:09,370 --> 00:31:09,910
I don't care.

883
00:31:10,050 --> 00:31:12,510
I'm not going to use IPv6 because it's

884
00:31:12,510 --> 00:31:13,970
always the last thing you think of.

885
00:31:14,490 --> 00:31:17,530
So our— Well, it's the last thing you

886
00:31:17,530 --> 00:31:19,810
think of if you're like you and myself

887
00:31:19,810 --> 00:31:23,190
who have turned it off years ago on

888
00:31:23,190 --> 00:31:25,290
all the routers and all the machines and

889
00:31:25,290 --> 00:31:26,490
we don't even think about it anymore.

890
00:31:26,490 --> 00:31:28,070
I can't remember those numbers.

891
00:31:28,770 --> 00:31:31,230
I can remember four series of numbers.

892
00:31:31,350 --> 00:31:32,750
I can't remember IPv6.

893
00:31:32,790 --> 00:31:33,790
Number is no good.

894
00:31:34,690 --> 00:31:40,130
So our cert, our certificate for SSL, which,

895
00:31:40,250 --> 00:31:42,110
of course, we don't want a man in

896
00:31:42,110 --> 00:31:43,370
the middle of our stream.

897
00:31:43,550 --> 00:31:45,430
Oh, no, we need to secure that.

898
00:31:46,390 --> 00:31:47,950
We've got to secure that.

899
00:31:47,950 --> 00:31:50,050
Otherwise, a little guy with a bank robber

900
00:31:50,050 --> 00:31:52,230
will come out and make you all afraid

901
00:31:52,230 --> 00:31:54,230
of our insecure stream.

902
00:31:54,690 --> 00:31:55,570
Thank you, Google.

903
00:31:57,930 --> 00:32:02,550
Was misconfigured on IPv6 or wasn't— I'll just

904
00:32:02,550 --> 00:32:03,450
say misconfigured.

905
00:32:03,970 --> 00:32:05,690
And Void Zero figured it out, and so

906
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:06,330
I think— Wait a minute.

907
00:32:06,390 --> 00:32:07,670
So my guess was accurate.

908
00:32:07,750 --> 00:32:09,210
Your guess was spot on.

909
00:32:09,750 --> 00:32:10,590
It's amazing.

910
00:32:10,850 --> 00:32:11,030
Yeah.

911
00:32:11,290 --> 00:32:12,010
I'm amazed.

912
00:32:12,230 --> 00:32:14,030
We didn't know that it was IPv6.

913
00:32:14,290 --> 00:32:15,770
Who would have thought about that?

914
00:32:15,770 --> 00:32:18,070
Well, this is the last thing you think

915
00:32:18,070 --> 00:32:18,390
of.

916
00:32:19,050 --> 00:32:20,630
Yeah, it's— Oh, man.

917
00:32:21,730 --> 00:32:23,370
That's a good line, Logan5.

918
00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:25,990
So we needed IPv6 because we had all

919
00:32:25,990 --> 00:32:27,890
those illegal aliens that were using up the

920
00:32:27,890 --> 00:32:30,430
IP addresses, so that's why they were telling

921
00:32:30,430 --> 00:32:30,710
us.

922
00:32:30,890 --> 00:32:32,310
Switch to IPv6.

923
00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:35,690
This is the future, just like passcodes.

924
00:32:36,810 --> 00:32:39,650
IPv6, passcodes, and SSL certificates are the future

925
00:32:39,650 --> 00:32:41,550
of headache.

926
00:32:43,130 --> 00:32:44,030
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

927
00:32:44,570 --> 00:32:49,150
Shout-out to John from Otto's here in

928
00:32:49,150 --> 00:32:49,730
Fredericksburg.

929
00:32:50,010 --> 00:32:51,870
This was a crazy event.

930
00:32:53,090 --> 00:32:54,570
I've told you about Otto's, haven't I?

931
00:32:54,570 --> 00:32:55,790
I think you looked at the menu at

932
00:32:55,790 --> 00:32:57,010
Otto's with me one time.

933
00:32:57,710 --> 00:32:58,210
Yeah, I did.

934
00:32:58,530 --> 00:33:00,610
So Otto's, German bistro restaurant.

935
00:33:00,710 --> 00:33:01,990
We're having dinner with some friends.

936
00:33:02,130 --> 00:33:02,850
It's a small place.

937
00:33:02,930 --> 00:33:04,170
They maybe have 10 tables.

938
00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:05,510
Nice place.

939
00:33:05,530 --> 00:33:07,210
If you're ever in Fredericksburg, definitely check out

940
00:33:07,210 --> 00:33:07,490
Otto's.

941
00:33:07,530 --> 00:33:10,450
They've got spot-on German food, except for

942
00:33:10,450 --> 00:33:13,370
one thing, or at least something I never

943
00:33:13,370 --> 00:33:16,970
saw in Germany, which is fried sauerkraut balls,

944
00:33:17,530 --> 00:33:20,510
which are just fantastic.

945
00:33:21,310 --> 00:33:23,470
It's a specialty item from some part of

946
00:33:23,470 --> 00:33:23,730
Germany.

947
00:33:23,830 --> 00:33:24,610
I've never seen them either.

948
00:33:24,750 --> 00:33:26,850
Well, here's what happened.

949
00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:29,250
So we're sitting there, and we're done with

950
00:33:29,250 --> 00:33:30,870
our dinner, and all of a sudden, the

951
00:33:30,870 --> 00:33:32,070
server comes over.

952
00:33:32,190 --> 00:33:33,450
He puts down four forks.

953
00:33:33,790 --> 00:33:35,630
He gives us each a glass of some

954
00:33:35,630 --> 00:33:40,270
dinner, wine, schnapps-y type thing, and then

955
00:33:40,270 --> 00:33:42,390
he puts down a cheesecake and a chocolate

956
00:33:42,390 --> 00:33:42,730
cake.

957
00:33:42,810 --> 00:33:43,810
I'm like, but who ordered that?

958
00:33:44,030 --> 00:33:45,430
He said, no, that's from John over there.

959
00:33:45,490 --> 00:33:47,670
And there's this young guy, couldn't have been

960
00:33:47,670 --> 00:33:51,210
40, maybe 35, and he's sitting at the

961
00:33:51,210 --> 00:33:51,590
other table.

962
00:33:51,670 --> 00:33:53,270
He waves, and, you know, so I'm like,

963
00:33:53,270 --> 00:33:53,470
okay.

964
00:33:53,550 --> 00:33:54,210
So I go over.

965
00:33:54,890 --> 00:33:55,470
I go over.

966
00:33:55,510 --> 00:33:56,950
I said, hey, I'm Adam.

967
00:33:57,030 --> 00:33:57,510
He said, yeah, I'm John.

968
00:33:57,570 --> 00:33:58,050
I'm the owner.

969
00:33:58,590 --> 00:33:59,150
In the morning.

970
00:33:59,570 --> 00:34:00,330
I'm like, what?

971
00:34:01,090 --> 00:34:02,110
In the morning.

972
00:34:02,130 --> 00:34:02,750
In the morning.

973
00:34:03,030 --> 00:34:04,610
He says, yeah, I've owned the place for

974
00:34:04,610 --> 00:34:05,250
12 years.

975
00:34:05,310 --> 00:34:06,910
I said, this is fantastic.

976
00:34:07,010 --> 00:34:08,110
I didn't know you were producers.

977
00:34:08,110 --> 00:34:09,590
I knew you guys came in here, but

978
00:34:09,590 --> 00:34:11,130
never had a chance to say hi and

979
00:34:11,130 --> 00:34:13,429
make an in-person donation.

980
00:34:13,630 --> 00:34:15,489
I'm holding my hand out for the check,

981
00:34:15,630 --> 00:34:16,989
but no, I guess that was the dessert.

982
00:34:18,330 --> 00:34:19,230
And I said, how about this?

983
00:34:20,090 --> 00:34:21,090
Hey, send me half.

984
00:34:21,270 --> 00:34:24,010
I said, tell me about the fried sauerkraut

985
00:34:24,010 --> 00:34:24,230
balls.

986
00:34:24,330 --> 00:34:25,469
He said, I totally made that up.

987
00:34:26,510 --> 00:34:27,510
You made it up?

988
00:34:27,590 --> 00:34:29,630
Yeah, it's not a delicacy from somewhere in

989
00:34:29,630 --> 00:34:29,889
Germany.

990
00:34:29,889 --> 00:34:30,570
Oh, that's cool.

991
00:34:31,190 --> 00:34:31,670
You totally made it up.

992
00:34:31,670 --> 00:34:37,409
But you can make stuff up thematically within

993
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:39,270
a cuisine that's still part of the cuisine.

994
00:34:39,770 --> 00:34:41,070
Sorry to tell you that.

995
00:34:41,110 --> 00:34:41,449
I'm all in.

996
00:34:41,650 --> 00:34:42,170
I'm all in.

997
00:34:42,650 --> 00:34:44,429
But did he give you the recipe?

998
00:34:44,570 --> 00:34:45,889
That sounds like something we should have on

999
00:34:45,889 --> 00:34:46,190
the show.

1000
00:34:46,350 --> 00:34:47,949
I will get the recipe for a tip

1001
00:34:47,949 --> 00:34:48,330
of the day.

1002
00:34:48,469 --> 00:34:52,270
I will get John's sauerkraut balls, fried sauerkraut

1003
00:34:52,270 --> 00:34:52,690
balls.

1004
00:34:53,110 --> 00:34:53,550
Was it good?

1005
00:34:53,989 --> 00:34:55,510
Oh, I've had them before.

1006
00:34:55,610 --> 00:34:56,430
They are phenomenal.

1007
00:34:57,050 --> 00:34:57,970
It's like crack.

1008
00:34:58,290 --> 00:34:59,710
It's almost like a bitter ball.

1009
00:34:59,710 --> 00:35:00,910
You know the Dutch bitter ball?

1010
00:35:01,510 --> 00:35:03,330
No, I don't know the Dutch bitter ball.

1011
00:35:03,470 --> 00:35:06,710
Which is the round ball croquette type snack.

1012
00:35:07,490 --> 00:35:08,050
You've seen it.

1013
00:35:08,230 --> 00:35:10,650
You have it with mustard, with like sharp

1014
00:35:10,650 --> 00:35:11,050
mustard.

1015
00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:12,110
I probably had it.

1016
00:35:12,230 --> 00:35:14,390
Yeah, so it has a brown crusty outside

1017
00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:15,250
and on the inside.

1018
00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:16,490
Is it battered?

1019
00:35:16,550 --> 00:35:17,290
Is that the idea?

1020
00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:18,910
Lightly battered.

1021
00:35:19,610 --> 00:35:21,050
Oh, the outside is battered.

1022
00:35:21,130 --> 00:35:24,510
The inside has, it's like brain matter with

1023
00:35:24,510 --> 00:35:25,690
sauerkraut, basically.

1024
00:35:27,530 --> 00:35:28,390
So good.

1025
00:35:29,150 --> 00:35:30,430
Yeah, I'll get the recipe.

1026
00:35:30,750 --> 00:35:33,790
It probably just consists of sauerkraut, brain matter,

1027
00:35:34,050 --> 00:35:34,470
and batter.

1028
00:35:34,850 --> 00:35:35,390
And oil.

1029
00:35:36,230 --> 00:35:36,670
I don't know.

1030
00:35:37,330 --> 00:35:40,530
At any rate, it's a lot tastier than

1031
00:35:40,530 --> 00:35:43,270
this new food product, which everyone is talking

1032
00:35:43,270 --> 00:35:43,670
about.

1033
00:35:45,190 --> 00:35:46,330
I don't know if you've heard about the

1034
00:35:46,330 --> 00:35:47,090
new food product.

1035
00:35:48,350 --> 00:35:50,350
Well, you're not talking about the Bill Gates

1036
00:35:50,350 --> 00:35:50,690
butter.

1037
00:35:50,830 --> 00:35:51,790
Yes, I am.

1038
00:35:52,450 --> 00:35:53,530
Yes, I am.

1039
00:35:53,690 --> 00:35:54,570
It's not new.

1040
00:35:55,090 --> 00:35:57,350
The first videos of it were over a

1041
00:35:57,350 --> 00:35:57,850
year ago.

1042
00:35:57,850 --> 00:35:58,890
Well, where's your clip?

1043
00:35:59,970 --> 00:36:00,790
I don't have a clip.

1044
00:36:00,870 --> 00:36:01,730
It's over a year ago.

1045
00:36:01,830 --> 00:36:03,750
I try not to play old clips because

1046
00:36:03,750 --> 00:36:05,050
people say, hey, that's old.

1047
00:36:05,170 --> 00:36:06,590
Well, it's going viral now.

1048
00:36:06,710 --> 00:36:08,810
Everyone's talking about the carbon butter.

1049
00:36:09,090 --> 00:36:11,170
In the middle of an industrial park in

1050
00:36:11,170 --> 00:36:14,910
a suburb west of Chicago, something unprecedented is

1051
00:36:14,910 --> 00:36:15,290
happening.

1052
00:36:16,110 --> 00:36:17,870
So you're using this gas right now to

1053
00:36:17,870 --> 00:36:20,910
cook your food, and we're proposing that we

1054
00:36:20,910 --> 00:36:22,610
would like to first make your food with

1055
00:36:22,610 --> 00:36:23,530
that gas.

1056
00:36:23,830 --> 00:36:26,510
The company is called Savor, and you better

1057
00:36:26,510 --> 00:36:27,110
believe it.

1058
00:36:27,110 --> 00:36:30,790
Their pioneering tech uses carbon and hydrogen to

1059
00:36:30,790 --> 00:36:32,570
make the stick of butter you see on

1060
00:36:32,570 --> 00:36:33,130
this plate.

1061
00:36:33,330 --> 00:36:35,330
This is pretty novel to be able to

1062
00:36:35,330 --> 00:36:37,990
make food that looks and tastes and feels

1063
00:36:37,990 --> 00:36:40,970
exactly like dairy butter, but with no agriculture

1064
00:36:40,970 --> 00:36:41,430
whatsoever.

1065
00:36:41,770 --> 00:36:43,110
And no long ingredient.

1066
00:36:43,270 --> 00:36:44,870
I love the up-talking people.

1067
00:36:45,290 --> 00:36:47,470
Like, whenever someone's up-talking like that, you

1068
00:36:47,470 --> 00:36:48,590
don't want to eat that product.

1069
00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:50,630
But with no agriculture whatsoever.

1070
00:36:50,890 --> 00:36:53,830
And no long ingredient list the average person

1071
00:36:53,830 --> 00:36:54,530
can't pronounce.

1072
00:36:54,530 --> 00:36:57,390
It's really just our fat, some water, a

1073
00:36:57,390 --> 00:36:59,770
little bit of lecithin as an emulsifier, and

1074
00:36:59,770 --> 00:37:00,850
some natural flavor and color.

1075
00:37:01,090 --> 00:37:01,670
Hold on.

1076
00:37:01,850 --> 00:37:02,590
Natural flavor.

1077
00:37:02,770 --> 00:37:04,770
Natural flavor is literally chemicals.

1078
00:37:04,990 --> 00:37:06,170
And some natural flavor and color.

1079
00:37:06,530 --> 00:37:06,970
How?

1080
00:37:07,290 --> 00:37:09,530
Fats are made up of carbon and hydrogen

1081
00:37:09,530 --> 00:37:10,110
chains.

1082
00:37:10,450 --> 00:37:11,110
The goal here?

1083
00:37:11,590 --> 00:37:13,230
Replicate those chains without...

1084
00:37:13,230 --> 00:37:14,790
Okay, stop the clip.

1085
00:37:15,250 --> 00:37:16,950
I'm going to ask you at the beginning

1086
00:37:16,950 --> 00:37:19,810
of this, and I pose the same question

1087
00:37:19,810 --> 00:37:22,490
to the Twitter people that play this.

1088
00:37:22,490 --> 00:37:24,030
This is the newest version of the clip,

1089
00:37:24,170 --> 00:37:24,590
which is over.

1090
00:37:24,850 --> 00:37:26,410
The old one is better, but it's got

1091
00:37:26,410 --> 00:37:28,130
Bill eating ice.

1092
00:37:28,990 --> 00:37:30,530
Bill's eating ice cream.

1093
00:37:30,710 --> 00:37:32,230
He's going, this is really good.

1094
00:37:33,250 --> 00:37:36,650
And I would like to know what the

1095
00:37:36,650 --> 00:37:38,150
difference between this...

1096
00:37:38,150 --> 00:37:43,190
They admit it's hydrocarbons, hydrogen, and some lecithin

1097
00:37:43,190 --> 00:37:44,990
to make it smoother.

1098
00:37:46,290 --> 00:37:49,370
That's exactly the methodology you use to make

1099
00:37:49,370 --> 00:37:50,190
margarine.

1100
00:37:50,190 --> 00:37:53,770
How is this any different than margarine?

1101
00:37:54,730 --> 00:37:57,250
Specifically, can anybody answer me this question?

1102
00:37:57,570 --> 00:38:05,250
It's margarine 3.0. Margarine is oils, miscellaneous

1103
00:38:05,250 --> 00:38:09,510
oils, and jacked up with hydrogen, hydrogenated oils

1104
00:38:09,510 --> 00:38:11,090
that make it hard as a rock.

1105
00:38:11,870 --> 00:38:14,230
Well, actually, in this clip, if you'll just

1106
00:38:14,230 --> 00:38:16,330
wait 20 more seconds, you'll hear what it

1107
00:38:16,330 --> 00:38:17,550
actually resembles.

1108
00:38:18,310 --> 00:38:19,190
The goal here?

1109
00:38:19,690 --> 00:38:22,610
Replicate those chains without animals or plants.

1110
00:38:23,030 --> 00:38:23,670
And they did it.

1111
00:38:23,790 --> 00:38:25,110
They tell me to simplify.

1112
00:38:25,650 --> 00:38:27,950
They take carbon dioxide from the air and

1113
00:38:27,950 --> 00:38:30,890
hydrogen from water, heat them up, and oxidize

1114
00:38:30,890 --> 00:38:31,150
them.

1115
00:38:31,410 --> 00:38:32,270
The final result?

1116
00:38:32,510 --> 00:38:33,690
It looks like a wax.

1117
00:38:34,030 --> 00:38:35,110
Yeah, it's wax.

1118
00:38:36,830 --> 00:38:38,410
It's candle wax.

1119
00:38:38,750 --> 00:38:39,590
That's what they're making.

1120
00:38:40,890 --> 00:38:42,950
They're using hydro...

1121
00:38:42,950 --> 00:38:45,150
This is the iterations of...

1122
00:38:45,150 --> 00:38:46,610
I'm going to give you the iterations of

1123
00:38:46,610 --> 00:38:46,890
margarine.

1124
00:38:46,890 --> 00:38:47,370
Yeah, please.

1125
00:38:47,930 --> 00:38:51,080
Margarine began as a hydrogenated...

1126
00:38:51,690 --> 00:38:51,790
Why?

1127
00:38:51,810 --> 00:38:52,130
No, wait.

1128
00:38:52,210 --> 00:38:53,990
I want to know why did we start

1129
00:38:53,990 --> 00:38:54,790
with margarine?

1130
00:38:55,250 --> 00:38:57,970
Because somebody invented it and they decided that,

1131
00:38:58,090 --> 00:38:59,030
well, what are we going to do with

1132
00:38:59,030 --> 00:38:59,830
this crap?

1133
00:39:00,130 --> 00:39:02,950
Well, let's tell people that butter is unhealthy.

1134
00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:06,250
And so they marketed it as a healthy

1135
00:39:06,250 --> 00:39:07,790
alternative to butter.

1136
00:39:07,910 --> 00:39:08,590
Go look at butter.

1137
00:39:08,670 --> 00:39:09,370
It'll make you fat.

1138
00:39:10,310 --> 00:39:16,090
So the original margarine was animal fats hydrogenated

1139
00:39:16,090 --> 00:39:18,170
into oleomargarine.

1140
00:39:18,630 --> 00:39:22,070
That was 1.0. People then said, well,

1141
00:39:22,130 --> 00:39:23,730
animal fats, oh, God.

1142
00:39:24,170 --> 00:39:25,030
And so they said, okay.

1143
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:27,770
So they went to margarine 2.0, which

1144
00:39:27,770 --> 00:39:29,270
was the stuff that we all know, Blue

1145
00:39:29,270 --> 00:39:30,510
Bonnet and all the rest of them.

1146
00:39:31,130 --> 00:39:35,910
That was vegetable oils plus hydrogenation.

1147
00:39:36,150 --> 00:39:40,290
That's margarine 2.0. This is basically crude

1148
00:39:40,290 --> 00:39:42,470
oil pumped from the ground.

1149
00:39:42,470 --> 00:39:46,130
So they've skipped the regular process of either

1150
00:39:46,130 --> 00:39:49,650
animal fats or vegetable oil or seed oils,

1151
00:39:49,730 --> 00:39:50,470
as you would have it.

1152
00:39:50,890 --> 00:39:53,270
And now they've gone just straight to petroleum

1153
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,750
products, pumped up with this stuff and added

1154
00:39:55,750 --> 00:39:56,370
some flavor.

1155
00:39:56,790 --> 00:39:58,250
This is disgusting.

1156
00:39:58,990 --> 00:40:00,090
Thank you.

1157
00:40:00,190 --> 00:40:05,870
That is a phenomenal overview of margarine.

1158
00:40:06,190 --> 00:40:09,170
And you nailed it because that's what's new.

1159
00:40:09,170 --> 00:40:11,790
What's new is not that this is healthier

1160
00:40:11,790 --> 00:40:12,430
for you.

1161
00:40:12,770 --> 00:40:15,070
No, what's new is this is better for

1162
00:40:15,070 --> 00:40:15,890
the environment.

1163
00:40:16,250 --> 00:40:20,050
It's all done releasing zero greenhouse gases, using

1164
00:40:20,050 --> 00:40:21,970
no farmland to feed cows.

1165
00:40:22,250 --> 00:40:24,550
We're like not at full capacity in this

1166
00:40:24,550 --> 00:40:25,310
facility yet.

1167
00:40:25,570 --> 00:40:27,590
And even though we're standing in a factory

1168
00:40:27,590 --> 00:40:30,690
setting, in addition to the carbon footprint being

1169
00:40:30,690 --> 00:40:32,930
much lower for a process like this, the

1170
00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:36,670
land footprint is a thousand times lower than

1171
00:40:36,670 --> 00:40:38,330
what you need in traditional agriculture.

1172
00:40:38,330 --> 00:40:39,710
I know what you're thinking.

1173
00:40:40,010 --> 00:40:41,190
I think we need to taste it.

1174
00:40:41,230 --> 00:40:42,410
I would love for you to taste this.

1175
00:40:42,430 --> 00:40:45,090
Oh, the obligatory, oh, tastes just like butter

1176
00:40:45,090 --> 00:40:45,570
segment.

1177
00:40:45,870 --> 00:40:47,610
How does it taste?

1178
00:40:47,890 --> 00:40:49,930
I love butter, so I'm going to take

1179
00:40:49,930 --> 00:40:51,690
a really healthy amount.

1180
00:40:53,030 --> 00:40:55,010
Admittedly, surprisingly, like butter.

1181
00:40:55,170 --> 00:40:55,970
Oh, what?

1182
00:40:56,110 --> 00:40:57,870
No, it tastes like butter.

1183
00:40:58,090 --> 00:40:59,570
They had a big thing of salt next

1184
00:40:59,570 --> 00:41:02,550
to it, so she smears this petroleum goo

1185
00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:04,710
on her bread and then puts salt on

1186
00:41:04,710 --> 00:41:04,930
it.

1187
00:41:05,210 --> 00:41:05,590
Oh, God.

1188
00:41:05,750 --> 00:41:07,130
Okay, yeah, that'll taste right.

1189
00:41:07,130 --> 00:41:09,630
You might as well just put Vaseline on

1190
00:41:09,630 --> 00:41:10,390
your bread.

1191
00:41:12,910 --> 00:41:15,030
I can't believe it's not Vaseline.

1192
00:41:15,230 --> 00:41:15,870
It's just butter.

1193
00:41:16,370 --> 00:41:18,470
So here we go with the final payoff,

1194
00:41:18,490 --> 00:41:20,030
because it's a doozy.

1195
00:41:20,190 --> 00:41:22,730
Their teams here in Batavia, Illinois, and their

1196
00:41:22,730 --> 00:41:25,650
home lab base in San Jose, California, backed

1197
00:41:25,650 --> 00:41:28,530
by Bill Gates, who wrote in his blog,

1198
00:41:28,750 --> 00:41:31,170
quote, the idea of switching to lab-made

1199
00:41:31,170 --> 00:41:33,470
fats and oils may seem strange at first,

1200
00:41:33,470 --> 00:41:36,250
but their potential to significantly reduce our carbon

1201
00:41:36,250 --> 00:41:38,030
footprint is immense.

1202
00:41:38,590 --> 00:41:41,310
Believing butter can make a difference.

1203
00:41:41,830 --> 00:41:44,790
This is really about how we feed our

1204
00:41:44,790 --> 00:41:47,970
species and heal our planet at the same

1205
00:41:47,970 --> 00:41:48,490
time.

1206
00:41:49,850 --> 00:41:53,070
By killing us, you heal the planet.

1207
00:41:53,290 --> 00:41:54,190
By killing us off.

1208
00:41:54,270 --> 00:41:56,830
Bill Gates, his end goal is always, we'll

1209
00:41:56,830 --> 00:41:58,890
save the planet when we kill you.

1210
00:41:58,890 --> 00:42:02,190
Everything he does is like you need vaccines

1211
00:42:02,190 --> 00:42:04,730
to kill you, and then the planet will

1212
00:42:04,730 --> 00:42:05,070
heal.

1213
00:42:06,070 --> 00:42:07,650
I just found it phenomenal.

1214
00:42:07,810 --> 00:42:08,150
Thank you.

1215
00:42:08,250 --> 00:42:10,810
It is, what did you call it?

1216
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:14,670
Margarine 3.0. Crude oil.

1217
00:42:15,270 --> 00:42:17,130
Yeah, crude oil, hydrogenated.

1218
00:42:17,470 --> 00:42:18,350
Crude oil.

1219
00:42:19,750 --> 00:42:21,990
Well, Trump should say, we've got the most.

1220
00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:24,750
We could have the biggest butter mountain in

1221
00:42:24,750 --> 00:42:25,170
the world.

1222
00:42:26,690 --> 00:42:28,430
I just love that.

1223
00:42:28,430 --> 00:42:28,890
I know.

1224
00:42:29,030 --> 00:42:29,710
I know it's not new.

1225
00:42:29,790 --> 00:42:32,050
And probably I should find one where Bill

1226
00:42:32,050 --> 00:42:34,850
Gates eating the ice cream crap made out

1227
00:42:34,850 --> 00:42:35,810
of crude oil.

1228
00:42:36,290 --> 00:42:38,570
This is, what's a Florida ounce?

1229
00:42:38,790 --> 00:42:40,750
I think I'll go have some Florida ounces

1230
00:42:40,750 --> 00:42:41,570
of butter.

1231
00:42:44,750 --> 00:42:45,930
And we call it Bill's butter.

1232
00:42:46,030 --> 00:42:47,770
Let's just call it what it is, Bill's

1233
00:42:47,770 --> 00:42:48,870
crude oil.

1234
00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:49,550
Bill's butter.

1235
00:42:49,990 --> 00:42:50,830
Bill's butter.

1236
00:42:51,230 --> 00:42:53,870
I think he's a shareholder in this company,

1237
00:42:53,990 --> 00:42:54,250
Savor.

1238
00:42:54,910 --> 00:42:55,990
But that's what they just said.

1239
00:42:56,570 --> 00:42:57,310
Oh, I'm sorry.

1240
00:42:57,310 --> 00:42:57,570
Okay.

1241
00:42:57,670 --> 00:42:57,910
Yeah.

1242
00:42:58,150 --> 00:43:00,010
You were too busy hating on me to

1243
00:43:00,010 --> 00:43:01,090
even listen to the clip.

1244
00:43:01,310 --> 00:43:03,470
No, it's because I hate this whole idea.

1245
00:43:04,370 --> 00:43:07,430
The fact that they can snooker the public

1246
00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:08,970
into buying into this kind of thing.

1247
00:43:09,150 --> 00:43:10,570
And the thing is, it's going to be

1248
00:43:10,570 --> 00:43:12,530
like, you know, it's going to be terrible.

1249
00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:15,050
It's just they talk a big game.

1250
00:43:15,090 --> 00:43:17,210
This is like, I don't remember, the Olestra

1251
00:43:17,210 --> 00:43:17,850
scandal.

1252
00:43:18,230 --> 00:43:18,590
Olestra.

1253
00:43:19,590 --> 00:43:19,950
Olestra.

1254
00:43:20,110 --> 00:43:21,270
This is the stuff that came out.

1255
00:43:21,290 --> 00:43:22,370
It was going to be the new cooking

1256
00:43:22,370 --> 00:43:22,650
oil.

1257
00:43:22,790 --> 00:43:24,270
Oh, we're going to use Olestra because it

1258
00:43:24,270 --> 00:43:26,270
doesn't have any cholesterol or some bull crap.

1259
00:43:27,210 --> 00:43:29,830
And so their potato chips, all this stuff

1260
00:43:29,830 --> 00:43:30,250
was released.

1261
00:43:30,290 --> 00:43:32,910
This was about 20 years ago, I think,

1262
00:43:33,150 --> 00:43:35,510
when they released all these Olestra products.

1263
00:43:37,070 --> 00:43:39,490
And so a friend of mine had a

1264
00:43:39,490 --> 00:43:41,710
bag of Lay's potato chips that were cooked

1265
00:43:41,710 --> 00:43:42,470
in Olestra.

1266
00:43:43,390 --> 00:43:44,490
And he's eating them.

1267
00:43:44,610 --> 00:43:46,010
And he says, you want to try these

1268
00:43:46,010 --> 00:43:46,250
things?

1269
00:43:46,290 --> 00:43:48,130
I said, sure, because I wanted to check

1270
00:43:48,130 --> 00:43:49,310
out what Olestra was like.

1271
00:43:49,470 --> 00:43:50,310
What was the difference?

1272
00:43:51,050 --> 00:43:52,270
Oh, my God.

1273
00:43:52,270 --> 00:43:56,070
There was something, you'd eat a potato chip,

1274
00:43:56,450 --> 00:43:58,450
and then all of a sudden, after maybe

1275
00:43:58,450 --> 00:44:02,390
two chips, there was a coating, like a

1276
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:05,010
wax coating on the roof of your palate.

1277
00:44:05,450 --> 00:44:07,130
And you couldn't get it off with your

1278
00:44:07,130 --> 00:44:07,430
tongue.

1279
00:44:07,550 --> 00:44:11,890
You'd go, trying to get this horrible, whatever

1280
00:44:11,890 --> 00:44:13,730
the hell it was, stuck all over your

1281
00:44:13,730 --> 00:44:16,050
mouth and teeth, this goo.

1282
00:44:16,690 --> 00:44:18,690
And it was inedible.

1283
00:44:19,290 --> 00:44:20,770
I don't know if you could even digest

1284
00:44:20,770 --> 00:44:21,010
it.

1285
00:44:21,010 --> 00:44:24,350
There were reports of all kinds of pooping

1286
00:44:24,350 --> 00:44:26,230
issues because of this Olestra.

1287
00:44:26,490 --> 00:44:27,090
Look it up.

1288
00:44:27,190 --> 00:44:29,350
Yeah, well, actually, it's Olestra.

1289
00:44:30,270 --> 00:44:32,330
O-L-E-S-T-R-A.

1290
00:44:32,430 --> 00:44:33,170
Here's a commercial.

1291
00:44:33,590 --> 00:44:34,010
Olestra.

1292
00:44:34,250 --> 00:44:36,690
Can warm-blooded Americans taste the difference between

1293
00:44:36,690 --> 00:44:38,690
Lay's wow potato chips and their favorite chips?

1294
00:44:39,150 --> 00:44:40,110
Let's find out.

1295
00:44:40,250 --> 00:44:41,070
You know they're fat-free?

1296
00:44:41,310 --> 00:44:42,250
Only half the calories.

1297
00:44:42,750 --> 00:44:43,690
Holy cow.

1298
00:44:44,110 --> 00:44:44,930
These are great.

1299
00:44:45,450 --> 00:44:46,890
These taste as good as my regular chips.

1300
00:44:48,130 --> 00:44:48,890
These are tasty.

1301
00:44:50,430 --> 00:44:52,270
The brand was Wow.

1302
00:44:52,970 --> 00:44:54,010
Olestra Wow.

1303
00:44:54,290 --> 00:44:58,250
And they apparently made you poop.

1304
00:44:59,570 --> 00:45:00,710
I guess so, yeah.

1305
00:45:00,930 --> 00:45:01,330
Let me see.

1306
00:45:01,390 --> 00:45:01,890
What is this?

1307
00:45:02,050 --> 00:45:03,890
Ah, the 1990s.

1308
00:45:04,410 --> 00:45:05,350
I don't know if they needed to do

1309
00:45:05,350 --> 00:45:05,570
that.

1310
00:45:06,310 --> 00:45:09,050
Yeah, that people got diarrhea after eating them.

1311
00:45:09,870 --> 00:45:11,190
What a product.

1312
00:45:14,350 --> 00:45:14,870
Olestra.

1313
00:45:14,870 --> 00:45:17,170
I don't know how you could eat enough

1314
00:45:17,170 --> 00:45:18,810
of it to get diarrhea, to be honest

1315
00:45:18,810 --> 00:45:19,210
about it.

1316
00:45:19,550 --> 00:45:21,350
It was like within two or three chips

1317
00:45:21,350 --> 00:45:24,950
that it was coating your mouth and tongue

1318
00:45:24,950 --> 00:45:27,150
and you couldn't get it off.

1319
00:45:27,470 --> 00:45:29,190
I don't know how you could possibly eat

1320
00:45:29,190 --> 00:45:30,210
enough to get diarrhea.

1321
00:45:30,570 --> 00:45:32,630
This is another boomer moment, everybody.

1322
00:45:32,890 --> 00:45:33,330
Enjoy.

1323
00:45:33,610 --> 00:45:35,610
Because, you know, when we were kids, we

1324
00:45:35,610 --> 00:45:37,610
had chips that made you shart.

1325
00:45:38,730 --> 00:45:41,250
These days, you've got to eat crude oil

1326
00:45:41,250 --> 00:45:41,750
butter.

1327
00:45:42,130 --> 00:45:43,930
We had it better back in our day.

1328
00:45:43,930 --> 00:45:45,170
Let me tell you that.

1329
00:45:45,690 --> 00:45:46,670
We had it better.

1330
00:45:47,810 --> 00:45:48,650
Oh, man.

1331
00:45:48,770 --> 00:45:49,230
Oh, man.

1332
00:45:49,270 --> 00:45:49,990
Oh, man.

1333
00:45:51,070 --> 00:45:51,890
That's our show.

1334
00:45:52,210 --> 00:45:52,910
Good night, everybody.

1335
00:45:54,050 --> 00:45:56,350
Actually, that was a summary of the show

1336
00:45:56,350 --> 00:45:56,830
for sure.

1337
00:45:57,770 --> 00:45:58,710
That's all we do.

1338
00:45:58,950 --> 00:45:59,790
Oh, goodness.

1339
00:45:59,970 --> 00:46:00,610
We got stories.

1340
00:46:00,810 --> 00:46:01,930
We got this.

1341
00:46:02,130 --> 00:46:02,450
We got that.

1342
00:46:02,450 --> 00:46:02,970
We got stories.

1343
00:46:03,210 --> 00:46:03,750
We definitely got stories.

1344
00:46:03,750 --> 00:46:06,070
How about some, since we're talking a little

1345
00:46:06,070 --> 00:46:08,490
about crime, how about the cashless bail malarkey

1346
00:46:08,490 --> 00:46:09,890
I want to play some clips of?

1347
00:46:09,990 --> 00:46:11,290
Oh, I'm not familiar with this.

1348
00:46:12,630 --> 00:46:14,510
Well, you know, cashless bail is going to

1349
00:46:14,510 --> 00:46:15,430
be the big threat.

1350
00:46:15,750 --> 00:46:16,790
Well, this was – no, wait a minute.

1351
00:46:17,610 --> 00:46:20,990
Cashless bail, that's what started during the BLM

1352
00:46:20,990 --> 00:46:21,370
riots.

1353
00:46:21,430 --> 00:46:22,090
Am I correct?

1354
00:46:23,050 --> 00:46:23,290
Yeah.

1355
00:46:23,570 --> 00:46:25,490
Which means you get bail without having to

1356
00:46:25,490 --> 00:46:27,210
pay cash, which is kind of the opposite

1357
00:46:27,210 --> 00:46:28,590
of what bail is.

1358
00:46:29,610 --> 00:46:30,770
Yeah, they just let you go.

1359
00:46:30,970 --> 00:46:32,830
And so the idea of bail, for those

1360
00:46:32,830 --> 00:46:35,010
who don't know it, who have not been

1361
00:46:35,010 --> 00:46:36,690
in jail or have had friends in jail

1362
00:46:36,690 --> 00:46:40,110
overnight, you get a bail set at like

1363
00:46:40,110 --> 00:46:42,630
$10,000, and if you go to a

1364
00:46:42,630 --> 00:46:46,390
bail bondsman, usually located conveniently next to the

1365
00:46:46,390 --> 00:46:49,890
jail, it's a great American tradition, then you

1366
00:46:49,890 --> 00:46:52,590
can pay 10%, 1,000, he'll put up

1367
00:46:52,590 --> 00:46:53,850
the bond, and then you get out.

1368
00:46:53,950 --> 00:46:56,410
And, of course, if you skip town, you

1369
00:46:56,410 --> 00:46:58,270
lose your $1,000, and they can put

1370
00:46:58,270 --> 00:47:01,010
a warrant out, and then dog, the bounty

1371
00:47:01,010 --> 00:47:03,750
hunter, comes after you and rousts you and

1372
00:47:03,750 --> 00:47:04,370
takes everything.

1373
00:47:04,990 --> 00:47:08,470
Before we play these three clips from NPR,

1374
00:47:08,790 --> 00:47:10,410
which are misleading.

1375
00:47:10,730 --> 00:47:10,870
Yes.

1376
00:47:12,390 --> 00:47:16,810
Gee, let me, I guess I'm repeating redundancy

1377
00:47:16,810 --> 00:47:17,130
there.

1378
00:47:18,010 --> 00:47:20,230
Misleading clips from NPR, I want to play,

1379
00:47:20,350 --> 00:47:21,590
I want to play, I want to read

1380
00:47:21,590 --> 00:47:24,210
something from, I did an AI search with

1381
00:47:24,210 --> 00:47:24,430
perplexity.

1382
00:47:25,010 --> 00:47:26,130
Oh, you did a deep dive.

1383
00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:28,070
That's not a deep dive, it's just a

1384
00:47:28,070 --> 00:47:28,850
stupid thing.

1385
00:47:28,990 --> 00:47:29,310
Uh-huh.

1386
00:47:29,450 --> 00:47:31,570
But I just asked the question, has any

1387
00:47:31,570 --> 00:47:34,030
murder suspect ever been let out on bail

1388
00:47:34,030 --> 00:47:35,530
in a cashless bail jurisdiction?

1389
00:47:36,210 --> 00:47:36,570
Yes.

1390
00:47:36,770 --> 00:47:38,450
It goes on, there's been many, and they

1391
00:47:38,450 --> 00:47:40,570
have some documented here, the New York, the

1392
00:47:40,570 --> 00:47:44,590
New Jersey in particular, different murder suspects here

1393
00:47:44,590 --> 00:47:45,050
and there.

1394
00:47:45,550 --> 00:47:46,410
Murder suspects, wow.

1395
00:47:47,470 --> 00:47:49,010
So they just let them go.

1396
00:47:49,570 --> 00:47:52,570
But if you listen to this NPR, for

1397
00:47:52,570 --> 00:47:55,310
the idiots that think NPR is the be

1398
00:47:55,310 --> 00:47:57,350
-all, end-all, let's listen to these clips.

1399
00:47:57,350 --> 00:48:01,530
This is cashless murder bail malarkey one.

1400
00:48:01,910 --> 00:48:03,670
Well, we're keeping an eye on National Guard

1401
00:48:03,670 --> 00:48:05,730
troops as they patrol the streets of Washington,

1402
00:48:05,910 --> 00:48:08,390
D.C. We'll keep it, I'm looking through

1403
00:48:08,390 --> 00:48:10,170
the window right now behind the curtain from

1404
00:48:10,170 --> 00:48:11,330
our NPR studios.

1405
00:48:11,510 --> 00:48:13,070
But let's take up something else the president

1406
00:48:13,070 --> 00:48:15,150
said in his news conference about crime on

1407
00:48:15,150 --> 00:48:18,270
Monday, that cashless bail is on his radar

1408
00:48:18,270 --> 00:48:20,810
in Washington, D.C. and other Democratic-led

1409
00:48:20,810 --> 00:48:21,750
cities like Chicago.

1410
00:48:22,310 --> 00:48:24,730
He made this statement about no cash bail,

1411
00:48:24,730 --> 00:48:26,150
which as far as we can tell is

1412
00:48:26,150 --> 00:48:28,030
not true, not true, not true.

1413
00:48:28,450 --> 00:48:31,150
I mean, bad politicians started it, bad leadership

1414
00:48:31,150 --> 00:48:33,450
started it, but that was the one thing

1415
00:48:33,450 --> 00:48:34,890
that's central, no cash bail.

1416
00:48:35,050 --> 00:48:37,350
Somebody murders somebody and they're out on no

1417
00:48:37,350 --> 00:48:40,190
cash bail before the day is out.

1418
00:48:40,390 --> 00:48:43,670
Again, murderers out on cashless bail doesn't seem

1419
00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:44,310
to be happening.

1420
00:48:44,470 --> 00:48:45,950
Let's get some facts from an expert.

1421
00:48:46,450 --> 00:48:47,130
Sandra Guerra...

1422
00:48:47,130 --> 00:48:48,090
Well, hold on a second.

1423
00:48:48,690 --> 00:48:51,010
Why didn't they just use perplexity like you

1424
00:48:51,010 --> 00:48:51,210
did?

1425
00:48:51,310 --> 00:48:52,450
Why'd they have to bring in Sandra?

1426
00:48:52,450 --> 00:48:54,210
You know, they could have done any search

1427
00:48:54,210 --> 00:48:55,130
and found this out.

1428
00:48:55,370 --> 00:48:59,030
I just gave a free plug to perplexity

1429
00:48:59,030 --> 00:48:59,890
for no good reason.

1430
00:49:00,110 --> 00:49:02,770
But the point is that there is no

1431
00:49:02,770 --> 00:49:04,810
research done on this report and then they

1432
00:49:04,810 --> 00:49:07,250
bring in an expert and this is a

1433
00:49:07,250 --> 00:49:07,630
beauty.

1434
00:49:08,210 --> 00:49:10,950
Murderers out on cashless bail doesn't seem to

1435
00:49:10,950 --> 00:49:11,430
be happening.

1436
00:49:11,610 --> 00:49:13,030
Let's get some facts from an expert.

1437
00:49:13,550 --> 00:49:16,370
Sandra Guerra Thompson is a law professor at

1438
00:49:16,370 --> 00:49:17,270
the University of Houston.

1439
00:49:17,710 --> 00:49:19,690
She is a court-appointed monitor in Harris

1440
00:49:19,690 --> 00:49:23,050
County, Texas after cashless bail was instituted there

1441
00:49:23,050 --> 00:49:24,510
for lesser crimes.

1442
00:49:25,290 --> 00:49:26,690
Professor Sandra, welcome.

1443
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:27,410
Hello.

1444
00:49:27,630 --> 00:49:30,070
So bail is something we understand people pay

1445
00:49:30,070 --> 00:49:31,950
to stay out of jail while they await

1446
00:49:31,950 --> 00:49:32,470
trial.

1447
00:49:32,990 --> 00:49:35,390
But a lot of people can't afford bail.

1448
00:49:35,530 --> 00:49:36,210
They have no money.

1449
00:49:36,390 --> 00:49:39,310
So cashless bail is a system where only

1450
00:49:39,310 --> 00:49:41,010
people who are a flight risk or a

1451
00:49:41,010 --> 00:49:43,570
danger to the community can be held in

1452
00:49:43,570 --> 00:49:45,870
detention while they await trial.

1453
00:49:46,010 --> 00:49:48,250
Not simply people who can't pay bail.

1454
00:49:48,350 --> 00:49:49,190
Have I got that right?

1455
00:49:49,190 --> 00:49:50,690
Yeah, that's right.

1456
00:49:50,850 --> 00:49:53,070
It's a complicated system, but I think that

1457
00:49:53,070 --> 00:49:53,930
covers it.

1458
00:49:54,030 --> 00:49:54,870
That simplifies it.

1459
00:49:54,950 --> 00:49:57,090
Well, so is it true, as the president

1460
00:49:57,090 --> 00:49:59,570
said, that if you're accused of murder, you

1461
00:49:59,570 --> 00:50:01,850
can get this cashless bail and get out

1462
00:50:01,850 --> 00:50:02,690
by the end of the day?

1463
00:50:02,950 --> 00:50:04,770
Well, it's not true in Harris County.

1464
00:50:05,030 --> 00:50:08,670
Our system only applies to misdemeanors.

1465
00:50:09,370 --> 00:50:11,630
Okay, so maybe not in Harris County.

1466
00:50:12,310 --> 00:50:12,770
It doesn't.

1467
00:50:12,930 --> 00:50:17,810
So Harris County has cashless bail for petty

1468
00:50:17,810 --> 00:50:20,530
theft trespassing.

1469
00:50:21,270 --> 00:50:22,230
And so, no.

1470
00:50:23,630 --> 00:50:25,150
Will you let a murderer out?

1471
00:50:25,230 --> 00:50:25,450
No.

1472
00:50:25,870 --> 00:50:27,450
But their system doesn't.

1473
00:50:27,990 --> 00:50:31,950
There's no cashless bails at that level for

1474
00:50:31,950 --> 00:50:32,630
felonies.

1475
00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:34,310
So why is she asking?

1476
00:50:34,410 --> 00:50:35,710
Why is this woman the expert?

1477
00:50:36,350 --> 00:50:38,430
She's in a county that doesn't even have

1478
00:50:38,430 --> 00:50:39,770
cashless bail, really.

1479
00:50:40,390 --> 00:50:43,370
Well, but she's on the NPR payroll, and

1480
00:50:43,370 --> 00:50:47,370
she was very adept to say, it's a

1481
00:50:47,370 --> 00:50:48,590
very complicated system.

1482
00:50:48,730 --> 00:50:49,410
No, it's not.

1483
00:50:49,710 --> 00:50:52,010
The judge determines what bail is, and the

1484
00:50:52,010 --> 00:50:55,630
judge says, oh, you poor slob, cashless bail.

1485
00:50:56,210 --> 00:50:57,470
It's not complicated.

1486
00:50:58,130 --> 00:51:00,590
But it just gets worse.

1487
00:51:01,010 --> 00:51:04,050
The lawsuit that we oversee that has been

1488
00:51:04,050 --> 00:51:06,230
settled by the county only applies to the

1489
00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:09,490
lower-level offenses that are nonviolent and really

1490
00:51:09,490 --> 00:51:11,490
don't raise public safety risks.

1491
00:51:11,570 --> 00:51:12,210
Such as?

1492
00:51:12,250 --> 00:51:13,270
I mean, throw a couple out.

1493
00:51:13,270 --> 00:51:17,490
Theft or trespassing or some minor offense.

1494
00:51:18,170 --> 00:51:20,150
Are you saying that, I mean, is there

1495
00:51:20,150 --> 00:51:23,370
anywhere where someone might have been charged with

1496
00:51:23,370 --> 00:51:24,990
committing a murder and they're out at the

1497
00:51:24,990 --> 00:51:27,090
end of the day on a cashless bail?

1498
00:51:28,590 --> 00:51:29,790
Probably not.

1499
00:51:32,750 --> 00:51:34,950
Perplexity, people, perplexity.

1500
00:51:35,190 --> 00:51:37,070
Wait, wait, probably not.

1501
00:51:37,350 --> 00:51:38,470
She doesn't know.

1502
00:51:38,770 --> 00:51:39,070
No.

1503
00:51:39,690 --> 00:51:42,150
She could have said, I don't know.

1504
00:51:42,150 --> 00:51:45,090
She could have easily said, I don't know.

1505
00:51:45,150 --> 00:51:46,770
But instead she said, probably not.

1506
00:51:47,070 --> 00:51:49,190
But that could have been followed with, probably

1507
00:51:49,190 --> 00:51:49,510
not.

1508
00:51:49,590 --> 00:51:50,030
I don't know.

1509
00:51:50,050 --> 00:51:51,050
Why are you asking me?

1510
00:51:51,150 --> 00:51:52,570
I don't have any idea.

1511
00:51:52,850 --> 00:51:55,810
And why didn't you do some research, NPR

1512
00:51:55,810 --> 00:51:57,950
lady, and get some facts to us?

1513
00:51:58,010 --> 00:51:59,590
No, no, no, we have to mislead the

1514
00:51:59,590 --> 00:51:59,930
public.

1515
00:52:00,390 --> 00:52:02,490
Because it doesn't make any sense that a

1516
00:52:02,490 --> 00:52:03,550
murderer would get out.

1517
00:52:03,650 --> 00:52:06,030
The whole point is to say, Trump is

1518
00:52:06,030 --> 00:52:06,590
wrong.

1519
00:52:06,750 --> 00:52:09,030
That's the whole point of this entire exercise.

1520
00:52:09,250 --> 00:52:10,030
You think?

1521
00:52:10,030 --> 00:52:10,470
Yeah.

1522
00:52:10,770 --> 00:52:11,370
Gambling?

1523
00:52:13,210 --> 00:52:13,810
Onward.

1524
00:52:14,150 --> 00:52:16,730
Every county, it seems, has its own system.

1525
00:52:16,870 --> 00:52:19,930
For example, in our state, I can't really

1526
00:52:19,930 --> 00:52:21,570
speak to every system.

1527
00:52:21,790 --> 00:52:23,950
But I think that that answer is most

1528
00:52:23,950 --> 00:52:24,890
likely no.

1529
00:52:25,330 --> 00:52:26,450
It's hard to imagine.

1530
00:52:26,990 --> 00:52:27,590
Wow.

1531
00:52:27,890 --> 00:52:30,270
Now she's hallucinating like perplexity.

1532
00:52:35,510 --> 00:52:37,830
So you're not insulted by the content.

1533
00:52:37,830 --> 00:52:41,830
You're insulted by just the insulting nature of

1534
00:52:41,830 --> 00:52:44,350
this whole segment, that they just bring a

1535
00:52:44,350 --> 00:52:46,250
lady on who's an expert who doesn't know

1536
00:52:46,250 --> 00:52:46,730
anything.

1537
00:52:47,350 --> 00:52:47,770
Yeah.

1538
00:52:48,030 --> 00:52:49,670
They bring a lady on who doesn't know

1539
00:52:49,670 --> 00:52:53,030
anything to confirm the biases without anybody doing

1540
00:52:53,030 --> 00:52:53,290
it.

1541
00:52:54,070 --> 00:52:58,470
They pay these people at NPR $400,000.

1542
00:52:58,890 --> 00:52:59,670
Well, not that lady.

1543
00:52:59,830 --> 00:53:00,230
Not that.

1544
00:53:00,310 --> 00:53:00,570
Nah.

1545
00:53:00,670 --> 00:53:01,610
You don't know that.

1546
00:53:02,050 --> 00:53:04,870
Nah, it's only the name host, the name

1547
00:53:04,870 --> 00:53:05,710
brand hosts.

1548
00:53:06,030 --> 00:53:06,990
But she's doing okay.

1549
00:53:06,990 --> 00:53:09,750
I'm sure she's not a struggling podcaster yet.

1550
00:53:10,650 --> 00:53:13,110
The point is, is that what does it

1551
00:53:13,110 --> 00:53:14,730
take to do a little work?

1552
00:53:14,930 --> 00:53:16,030
No work is done.

1553
00:53:16,410 --> 00:53:17,730
Just, oh, I don't think so.

1554
00:53:17,890 --> 00:53:18,990
Oh, I don't know.

1555
00:53:19,230 --> 00:53:20,150
Probably not.

1556
00:53:20,210 --> 00:53:21,970
Doesn't make any sense that that would happen.

1557
00:53:22,350 --> 00:53:24,090
What kind of reporting is this?

1558
00:53:24,850 --> 00:53:27,210
This is why it's very difficult for our

1559
00:53:27,210 --> 00:53:27,530
show.

1560
00:53:27,890 --> 00:53:29,370
I mean, what else is there left for

1561
00:53:29,370 --> 00:53:29,670
us?

1562
00:53:30,530 --> 00:53:31,870
There's nothing left.

1563
00:53:31,870 --> 00:53:35,510
I mean, that's actually a very depressing series

1564
00:53:35,510 --> 00:53:36,850
of clips, I must say.

1565
00:53:37,810 --> 00:53:38,890
It's unbelievable.

1566
00:53:39,270 --> 00:53:40,530
The only thing it gives me is a

1567
00:53:40,530 --> 00:53:42,750
good lead into my perplexity story.

1568
00:53:42,930 --> 00:53:44,830
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that AI

1569
00:53:44,830 --> 00:53:48,350
startup Perplexity is making a surprise $34.5

1570
00:53:48,350 --> 00:53:51,590
billion offer to buy Google's Chrome browser, even

1571
00:53:51,590 --> 00:53:53,770
though Perplexity itself is valued at just $18

1572
00:53:53,770 --> 00:53:54,070
billion.

1573
00:53:54,670 --> 00:53:57,190
Now, this unsolicited bid comes as a federal

1574
00:53:57,190 --> 00:53:59,710
judge is weighing right now whether to force

1575
00:53:59,710 --> 00:54:02,230
Google to sell Chrome to loosen its grip

1576
00:54:02,230 --> 00:54:04,790
on web search after that ruling last year

1577
00:54:04,790 --> 00:54:06,830
that the company illegally monopolized the market.

1578
00:54:07,110 --> 00:54:09,650
Now, Perplexity says that major investors are backing

1579
00:54:09,650 --> 00:54:09,970
the deal.

1580
00:54:10,050 --> 00:54:11,530
That's according to the Wall Street Journal report,

1581
00:54:11,810 --> 00:54:14,390
and it would keep Google as Chrome's default

1582
00:54:14,390 --> 00:54:17,110
search engine while running the browser independently.

1583
00:54:17,570 --> 00:54:19,550
Now, Google, which controls more than 60%

1584
00:54:19,550 --> 00:54:22,190
of that global browser market, hasn't signaled any

1585
00:54:22,190 --> 00:54:23,190
interest in selling.

1586
00:54:23,830 --> 00:54:26,270
Analysts see a forced sale as unlikely, but

1587
00:54:26,270 --> 00:54:28,310
the offer signals that there's at least one

1588
00:54:28,310 --> 00:54:30,170
willing buyer if the court orders it.

1589
00:54:30,370 --> 00:54:32,250
We're out to both Perplexity and Google, but

1590
00:54:32,250 --> 00:54:33,490
didn't immediately hear back.

1591
00:54:33,970 --> 00:54:35,730
Yeah, Google is going to hold on to

1592
00:54:35,730 --> 00:54:36,910
that with all their might.

1593
00:54:37,410 --> 00:54:38,690
They do not want to give up the

1594
00:54:38,690 --> 00:54:39,330
Chrome browser.

1595
00:54:39,470 --> 00:54:40,030
They're going to have to.

1596
00:54:40,510 --> 00:54:42,290
We talked about that on Horowitz.

1597
00:54:42,510 --> 00:54:42,850
Oh, you did?

1598
00:54:43,710 --> 00:54:46,390
Yeah, this estimated that that browser's worth about

1599
00:54:46,390 --> 00:54:47,250
$50 billion.

1600
00:54:47,950 --> 00:54:50,670
Because of the advertising, the tracking, and all

1601
00:54:50,670 --> 00:54:52,630
the stuff, it reports back to Google, correct?

1602
00:54:53,410 --> 00:54:53,690
Yeah.

1603
00:54:55,730 --> 00:54:57,210
But jeez, 50.

1604
00:54:58,270 --> 00:55:01,550
I remember when people were designing these independent

1605
00:55:01,550 --> 00:55:03,670
browsers, only a few of them stuck to

1606
00:55:03,670 --> 00:55:03,830
it.

1607
00:55:04,010 --> 00:55:05,590
Vivaldi is still out there.

1608
00:55:07,430 --> 00:55:09,790
Opera, which is, I think it's the two

1609
00:55:09,790 --> 00:55:09,990
sides.

1610
00:55:09,990 --> 00:55:11,270
Opera was always a good product.

1611
00:55:11,870 --> 00:55:14,370
Yeah, but there's still a monopoly.

1612
00:55:15,230 --> 00:55:17,250
Apple, oh yeah, you can load any other

1613
00:55:17,250 --> 00:55:18,290
browser you want.

1614
00:55:19,590 --> 00:55:22,990
But, of course, whenever you open up a

1615
00:55:22,990 --> 00:55:24,510
document that needs to go to a web

1616
00:55:24,510 --> 00:55:27,270
browser, I believe it still, by default, opens

1617
00:55:27,270 --> 00:55:27,890
up Safari.

1618
00:55:28,530 --> 00:55:30,710
And I don't know, I'm staying out of

1619
00:55:30,710 --> 00:55:33,190
the Apple ecosystem, but I'm not sure that

1620
00:55:33,190 --> 00:55:33,970
you can set that.

1621
00:55:34,030 --> 00:55:39,170
That should actually be deemed anti-competitive, but

1622
00:55:39,170 --> 00:55:39,750
whatever.

1623
00:55:40,130 --> 00:55:41,130
Yes, it should be illegal.

1624
00:55:41,490 --> 00:55:41,730
Yeah.

1625
00:55:43,110 --> 00:55:45,770
I got more NPR stuff if I wanted

1626
00:55:45,770 --> 00:55:47,390
just to brag on them.

1627
00:55:47,390 --> 00:55:47,950
Really?

1628
00:55:48,350 --> 00:55:49,890
I was already going to AI.

1629
00:55:50,210 --> 00:55:52,310
I'm off to the races, and you want

1630
00:55:52,310 --> 00:55:54,290
to pull me back into bad reporting?

1631
00:55:54,470 --> 00:55:54,630
Okay.

1632
00:55:56,010 --> 00:56:02,010
Yeah, let's do the, this is another example

1633
00:56:02,010 --> 00:56:04,390
of bad reporting, because it's like nobody can

1634
00:56:04,390 --> 00:56:06,470
even do basic math.

1635
00:56:06,650 --> 00:56:09,490
By the way, Firefox, I don't think, is

1636
00:56:09,490 --> 00:56:10,410
a better alternative.

1637
00:56:10,810 --> 00:56:12,510
People say, what about Firefox, man?

1638
00:56:12,630 --> 00:56:13,390
I use Firefox.

1639
00:56:13,870 --> 00:56:14,490
I don't.

1640
00:56:14,530 --> 00:56:15,270
I use Brave.

1641
00:56:17,190 --> 00:56:19,470
I find Firefox to be a better product

1642
00:56:19,470 --> 00:56:19,950
than Brave.

1643
00:56:21,010 --> 00:56:21,290
Yeah.

1644
00:56:22,210 --> 00:56:25,350
Because Brave doesn't scale correctly.

1645
00:56:25,770 --> 00:56:27,330
It doesn't scale?

1646
00:56:27,850 --> 00:56:29,150
How much are you surfing?

1647
00:56:30,490 --> 00:56:33,430
How many tabs do you have open?

1648
00:56:34,390 --> 00:56:35,990
I will have a lot of tabs open.

1649
00:56:36,070 --> 00:56:37,130
You're a tab guy.

1650
00:56:37,470 --> 00:56:38,390
I'm a tab guy.

1651
00:56:38,590 --> 00:56:39,390
I didn't like to be.

1652
00:56:39,450 --> 00:56:40,090
I didn't want to be.

1653
00:56:40,270 --> 00:56:42,530
I resisted as best I could.

1654
00:56:43,210 --> 00:56:44,250
Bemrose uses links.

1655
00:56:44,330 --> 00:56:45,230
I'm with you, Bemrose.

1656
00:56:45,230 --> 00:56:46,690
Links, that's the way to go.

1657
00:56:48,070 --> 00:56:49,970
All right, so now we're going to rag

1658
00:56:49,970 --> 00:56:51,130
on NPR some more?

1659
00:56:51,570 --> 00:56:53,430
Then you can take, then we go to

1660
00:56:53,430 --> 00:56:55,350
AI, and then we can talk about Russia.

1661
00:56:55,730 --> 00:56:56,890
Oh, yes, Alaska.

1662
00:56:57,110 --> 00:56:57,650
Yes, okay.

1663
00:56:58,930 --> 00:57:00,290
Also known as Russia.

1664
00:57:01,310 --> 00:57:02,650
Well, it was once Russia.

1665
00:57:02,770 --> 00:57:03,890
They're still irked about it.

1666
00:57:04,130 --> 00:57:07,870
So this is the bogus Snap support stuff.

1667
00:57:07,970 --> 00:57:10,550
This is about, they're taking, oh, you know,

1668
00:57:10,610 --> 00:57:13,430
they won't let people get soda pop with

1669
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:16,470
Snap, and they're going to reduce their ability.

1670
00:57:19,690 --> 00:57:22,910
But what's interesting in this report is if

1671
00:57:22,910 --> 00:57:26,350
you start listening to it carefully, the math

1672
00:57:26,350 --> 00:57:28,410
doesn't add up, and I'm going to discuss

1673
00:57:28,410 --> 00:57:29,810
it, and a lot of these clips are

1674
00:57:29,810 --> 00:57:32,390
very short, so I can just bring a

1675
00:57:32,390 --> 00:57:34,590
couple of points up that NPR refused.

1676
00:57:34,770 --> 00:57:36,450
People give these people money.

1677
00:57:36,630 --> 00:57:38,430
Do not support NPR.

1678
00:57:39,070 --> 00:57:41,410
The cuts to the Snap program or food

1679
00:57:41,410 --> 00:57:43,730
stamps in the new tax and spending law

1680
00:57:43,730 --> 00:57:46,710
are bad news for independent grocery stores.

1681
00:57:47,150 --> 00:57:48,790
Many of these stores see the bulk of

1682
00:57:48,790 --> 00:57:50,410
their sales from Snap dollars.

1683
00:57:50,930 --> 00:57:53,630
Stephen Besaha of the Gulf States Newsroom reports

1684
00:57:53,630 --> 00:57:54,390
from Alabama.

1685
00:57:54,810 --> 00:57:57,110
About a 20-minute drive from Auburn University

1686
00:57:57,110 --> 00:57:59,130
is Wright's Market in Opelika.

1687
00:57:59,630 --> 00:58:02,330
It's an independent grocer, but really, it doesn't

1688
00:58:02,330 --> 00:58:04,770
look all that different from your classic supermarket,

1689
00:58:05,030 --> 00:58:05,930
just a bit smaller.

1690
00:58:06,370 --> 00:58:08,890
It's got aisles packed with sweet tea, veggies,

1691
00:58:08,890 --> 00:58:12,070
and the best fresh catfish that shopper Diane

1692
00:58:12,070 --> 00:58:13,350
Chavis says you can get.

1693
00:58:32,270 --> 00:58:33,950
It's time for you to do your accent,

1694
00:58:34,070 --> 00:58:35,710
because whenever you get a man or woman

1695
00:58:35,710 --> 00:58:37,330
on the street with that accent, what are

1696
00:58:37,330 --> 00:58:38,230
we supposed to think?

1697
00:58:38,230 --> 00:58:39,450
They're dumb.

1698
00:58:39,590 --> 00:58:40,910
They're dumb, dadgummit.

1699
00:58:41,090 --> 00:58:41,910
They're dumb.

1700
00:58:42,310 --> 00:58:44,430
But what's dumb here is not the people,

1701
00:58:44,610 --> 00:58:46,330
but it's the NPR reporter.

1702
00:58:46,490 --> 00:58:48,430
First of all, they say, this woman, she

1703
00:58:48,430 --> 00:58:49,990
goes there for the catfish.

1704
00:58:50,350 --> 00:58:52,690
And the first thing, she never mentions catfish.

1705
00:58:53,030 --> 00:58:54,870
She goes there for the burger, so they

1706
00:58:54,870 --> 00:58:56,470
can't even get that right.

1707
00:58:56,690 --> 00:58:58,770
Best ground beef here in this side of

1708
00:58:58,770 --> 00:58:59,010
Alabama.

1709
00:58:59,010 --> 00:59:00,730
Yeah, my husband, as he gets the bots

1710
00:59:00,730 --> 00:59:02,630
into it, he says, oh, you didn't go

1711
00:59:02,630 --> 00:59:03,030
right.

1712
00:59:03,270 --> 00:59:05,130
You got to the wrong place, woman.

1713
00:59:05,310 --> 00:59:06,730
Let me smack you around.

1714
00:59:06,730 --> 00:59:08,810
Put on your outfit.

1715
00:59:09,090 --> 00:59:10,910
I'm going to make a baby with you.

1716
00:59:15,370 --> 00:59:17,050
Yes, this is the way you do it.

1717
00:59:17,570 --> 00:59:19,550
We would be good on these networks.

1718
00:59:19,850 --> 00:59:21,750
Well, if they keep it up, that's where

1719
00:59:21,750 --> 00:59:22,310
we're going to be working.

1720
00:59:22,650 --> 00:59:23,710
That's where we're going to end up.

1721
00:59:23,730 --> 00:59:24,710
That's where all the money is.

1722
00:59:24,710 --> 00:59:24,830
Here we go.

1723
00:59:25,310 --> 00:59:27,290
Now, Jimmy Wright is not talking about his

1724
00:59:27,290 --> 00:59:28,330
own store closing.

1725
00:59:28,690 --> 00:59:30,770
Customers will still come for that good beef,

1726
00:59:31,150 --> 00:59:33,110
but he doesn't have much room to cut

1727
00:59:33,110 --> 00:59:33,530
either.

1728
00:59:33,530 --> 00:59:36,150
After all, grocery stores usually have pretty tight

1729
00:59:36,150 --> 00:59:36,770
margins.

1730
00:59:37,170 --> 00:59:38,270
I mean, we're a penny business.

1731
00:59:38,510 --> 00:59:39,890
We're right behind the rights market.

1732
00:59:40,230 --> 00:59:42,170
He says for every dollar spent at a

1733
00:59:42,170 --> 00:59:44,570
store like his, grocers only net about a

1734
00:59:44,570 --> 00:59:45,550
penny and a half.

1735
00:59:46,010 --> 00:59:47,830
The rest gets spent on things like keeping

1736
00:59:47,830 --> 00:59:50,390
the lights on and restocking shelves for products

1737
00:59:50,390 --> 00:59:52,210
that either get sold or go bad.

1738
00:59:52,750 --> 00:59:54,390
Now that some of those snap dollars are

1739
00:59:54,390 --> 00:59:56,750
going away, Wright hopes he doesn't have to

1740
00:59:56,750 --> 00:59:58,290
let any of his employees go.

1741
00:59:58,570 --> 01:00:00,390
That would be the very, very, very, very

1742
01:00:00,390 --> 01:00:02,130
last thing that I did.

1743
01:00:02,130 --> 01:00:03,830
Okay, hold on a second.

1744
01:00:04,430 --> 01:00:06,430
So, first of all, the grocery— Is this

1745
01:00:06,430 --> 01:00:06,910
clip two?

1746
01:00:07,630 --> 01:00:08,590
I think so.

1747
01:00:11,190 --> 01:00:11,530
Okay.

1748
01:00:11,990 --> 01:00:13,090
It might not have been.

1749
01:00:13,150 --> 01:00:13,570
I'm sorry.

1750
01:00:15,090 --> 01:00:15,530
Okay.

1751
01:00:15,930 --> 01:00:18,290
It may not have been because they're kind

1752
01:00:18,290 --> 01:00:19,650
of mislabeled all.

1753
01:00:20,430 --> 01:00:20,990
No, they're not.

1754
01:00:21,350 --> 01:00:23,090
Well, you— It says two in big letters.

1755
01:00:23,150 --> 01:00:25,150
Yes, I know, but then three, four, five,

1756
01:00:25,250 --> 01:00:26,250
six are with numbers.

1757
01:00:26,610 --> 01:00:27,070
It's okay.

1758
01:00:27,170 --> 01:00:27,530
It's me.

1759
01:00:27,610 --> 01:00:28,330
I should know better.

1760
01:00:28,410 --> 01:00:28,850
I'm sorry.

1761
01:00:28,990 --> 01:00:29,490
Clip two.

1762
01:00:29,690 --> 01:00:32,090
The right behind the rights market name is

1763
01:00:32,090 --> 01:00:33,250
owner Jimmy Wright.

1764
01:00:33,250 --> 01:00:33,770
There we go.

1765
01:00:33,870 --> 01:00:36,210
He says he's living the American dream, serving

1766
01:00:36,210 --> 01:00:36,990
his hometown.

1767
01:00:37,710 --> 01:00:39,390
Of course, that does not mean the job's

1768
01:00:39,390 --> 01:00:40,310
always been easy.

1769
01:00:40,730 --> 01:00:42,630
I'll be 64 in September.

1770
01:00:43,150 --> 01:00:44,850
I think the last five years have moved

1771
01:00:44,850 --> 01:00:46,050
me up to, like, 84.

1772
01:00:46,730 --> 01:00:49,170
I'm there as far as— It's been a

1773
01:00:49,170 --> 01:00:50,170
challenging few years.

1774
01:00:50,410 --> 01:00:53,170
Remember, those tough five years started with COVID

1775
01:00:53,170 --> 01:00:55,170
-19 and then inflation.

1776
01:00:55,790 --> 01:00:58,290
And the latest challenge comes from changes to

1777
01:00:58,290 --> 01:00:58,710
SNAP.

1778
01:00:58,710 --> 01:01:02,110
SNAP is a federal safety net program that

1779
01:01:02,110 --> 01:01:04,470
helps low-income families pay for groceries.

1780
01:01:04,810 --> 01:01:07,310
The new tax and spending law passed by

1781
01:01:07,310 --> 01:01:10,470
Republicans cuts SNAP spending by about 20 percent

1782
01:01:10,470 --> 01:01:11,470
over 10 years.

1783
01:01:12,110 --> 01:01:14,850
So that's 2 percent a year.

1784
01:01:14,910 --> 01:01:15,490
Boom.

1785
01:01:15,790 --> 01:01:18,150
That's the first number we want to know.

1786
01:01:18,450 --> 01:01:19,710
It's 2 percent.

1787
01:01:20,570 --> 01:01:20,910
Yes.

1788
01:01:21,590 --> 01:01:22,090
Coming up.

1789
01:01:22,270 --> 01:01:22,750
2 percent.

1790
01:01:22,930 --> 01:01:23,410
2 percent's coming up.

1791
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,150
And hold on.

1792
01:01:24,210 --> 01:01:25,970
Is that 2 percent less that people get

1793
01:01:25,970 --> 01:01:28,210
to spend or 2 percent less people that

1794
01:01:28,210 --> 01:01:30,370
get to take advantage of SNAP when they're

1795
01:01:30,370 --> 01:01:30,830
probably not eligible?

1796
01:01:30,830 --> 01:01:31,190
Well, it doesn't matter.

1797
01:01:31,490 --> 01:01:33,070
We're going to go with just 2 percent

1798
01:01:33,070 --> 01:01:33,870
less to spend.

1799
01:01:34,130 --> 01:01:34,470
All right.

1800
01:01:34,510 --> 01:01:35,210
2 percent less.

1801
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:36,810
And so we're going to use that as

1802
01:01:36,810 --> 01:01:39,250
our baseline for what the calculations are going

1803
01:01:39,250 --> 01:01:40,290
to be as we go forward.

1804
01:01:40,470 --> 01:01:40,690
Okay.

1805
01:01:40,790 --> 01:01:42,370
Now we go to—that was clip two.

1806
01:01:42,450 --> 01:01:43,090
Let's go to three.

1807
01:01:43,410 --> 01:01:46,470
20 percent over 10 years, mostly through new

1808
01:01:46,470 --> 01:01:49,270
work requirements and a cap on inflation adjustments.

1809
01:01:49,730 --> 01:01:49,910
Yeah.

1810
01:01:50,030 --> 01:01:50,310
Okay.

1811
01:01:50,510 --> 01:01:51,410
So work requirements.

1812
01:01:51,410 --> 01:01:53,630
Well, so now they've changed it.

1813
01:01:53,830 --> 01:01:56,790
It's 2 percent or 20 percent over 10

1814
01:01:56,790 --> 01:01:57,590
years, but 2 percent.

1815
01:01:57,770 --> 01:02:00,910
But they're kind of counting in work requirements

1816
01:02:00,910 --> 01:02:02,150
as part of this 2 percent.

1817
01:02:02,510 --> 01:02:04,150
So in other words, they're really not changing

1818
01:02:04,150 --> 01:02:04,610
anything.

1819
01:02:04,890 --> 01:02:05,490
Hold on a second.

1820
01:02:06,030 --> 01:02:08,310
When it comes to low percentages like 2

1821
01:02:08,310 --> 01:02:10,390
percent, it's a big deal to NPR.

1822
01:02:10,710 --> 01:02:13,910
Remember, Congress defunded them of 1 percent and

1823
01:02:13,910 --> 01:02:15,510
they lost their ever-loving minds.

1824
01:02:15,670 --> 01:02:17,230
So 2 percent is double.

1825
01:02:17,610 --> 01:02:19,890
In fact, it's 100 percent more.

1826
01:02:19,890 --> 01:02:20,850
I'm just saying.

1827
01:02:21,530 --> 01:02:22,690
100 percent more.

1828
01:02:23,250 --> 01:02:24,690
That's the way they would see it.

1829
01:02:24,710 --> 01:02:25,470
That's how they do it.

1830
01:02:25,590 --> 01:02:25,730
Yep.

1831
01:02:25,830 --> 01:02:27,490
And by the way, for the people who

1832
01:02:27,490 --> 01:02:29,870
don't know what Florida ounces are, I'm sure

1833
01:02:29,870 --> 01:02:32,130
they're going, oh, this is an outrage.

1834
01:02:34,010 --> 01:02:34,810
Florida ounces.

1835
01:02:35,370 --> 01:02:35,670
All right.

1836
01:02:35,970 --> 01:02:37,190
Number—okay, that was three.

1837
01:02:37,350 --> 01:02:37,810
Let's go to four.

1838
01:02:37,890 --> 01:02:40,410
These are shorter because of this math we're

1839
01:02:40,410 --> 01:02:40,870
doing here.

1840
01:02:40,930 --> 01:02:41,210
Four.

1841
01:02:42,010 --> 01:02:44,650
The problem for independent grocers like Wright is

1842
01:02:44,650 --> 01:02:46,890
that snap purchases are often a big part

1843
01:02:46,890 --> 01:02:47,710
of their sales.

1844
01:02:47,710 --> 01:02:50,070
We're somewhere around a third of our business

1845
01:02:50,070 --> 01:02:50,770
comes through snap.

1846
01:02:51,270 --> 01:02:52,870
And it's way more than that for some

1847
01:02:52,870 --> 01:02:56,030
other grocery stores, especially ones in low-income

1848
01:02:56,030 --> 01:02:58,590
areas where they're often the only option for

1849
01:02:58,590 --> 01:02:59,270
healthy food.

1850
01:02:59,570 --> 01:03:01,650
Those are the stores most at risk of

1851
01:03:01,650 --> 01:03:02,030
closing.

1852
01:03:02,470 --> 01:03:04,690
I get concerned that will that have a

1853
01:03:04,690 --> 01:03:07,790
negative effect on these small stores in rural

1854
01:03:07,790 --> 01:03:11,490
America and in urban America where they cannot

1855
01:03:11,490 --> 01:03:12,150
stay open.

1856
01:03:12,490 --> 01:03:14,910
I wonder if they went to this guy

1857
01:03:14,910 --> 01:03:18,790
because, you know, dadgummit, 20 percent, that's going

1858
01:03:18,790 --> 01:03:19,410
to hurt me.

1859
01:03:20,510 --> 01:03:21,950
They might have just said, hey, you know,

1860
01:03:21,970 --> 01:03:24,210
snap is being reduced by 20 percent over

1861
01:03:24,210 --> 01:03:24,570
10 years.

1862
01:03:25,110 --> 01:03:27,190
How is that going to hurt your business

1863
01:03:27,190 --> 01:03:27,770
over 10 years?

1864
01:03:29,490 --> 01:03:31,650
So we go to—we're still dealing with 2

1865
01:03:31,650 --> 01:03:33,370
percent, which is what it is over the

1866
01:03:33,370 --> 01:03:34,010
next year.

1867
01:03:35,410 --> 01:03:36,130
Two percent.

1868
01:03:36,290 --> 01:03:37,870
Some of it work requirements.

1869
01:03:38,590 --> 01:03:39,910
A lot of that might, yeah.

1870
01:03:40,070 --> 01:03:42,550
It may be no percent based on the

1871
01:03:42,550 --> 01:03:43,890
rest of it, but we're going to give

1872
01:03:43,890 --> 01:03:45,550
them the benefit of the doubt or the

1873
01:03:45,550 --> 01:03:47,370
worst case scenario, 2 percent.

1874
01:03:48,070 --> 01:03:50,830
And a third of his business is snap.

1875
01:03:51,170 --> 01:03:56,450
So that means 33 percent, 33 percent of

1876
01:03:56,450 --> 01:03:59,450
this business is snap, and only 2 percent

1877
01:03:59,450 --> 01:04:01,930
of that is going to be reduced.

1878
01:04:02,090 --> 01:04:04,990
So we're talking about 0.6 percent of

1879
01:04:04,990 --> 01:04:06,070
his total revenue.

1880
01:04:06,270 --> 01:04:08,390
Oh, now you're trying to do math.

1881
01:04:09,610 --> 01:04:10,470
It's hurting my brain.

1882
01:04:10,470 --> 01:04:12,090
I forbid that you do some math on

1883
01:04:12,090 --> 01:04:12,430
this.

1884
01:04:13,050 --> 01:04:14,410
They could have asked perplexity.

1885
01:04:14,910 --> 01:04:18,410
So 0.6 percent of his total revenues

1886
01:04:18,410 --> 01:04:19,410
will be affected.

1887
01:04:19,950 --> 01:04:21,510
Let's go to the next clip.

1888
01:04:21,750 --> 01:04:24,550
The National Grocers Association says, yeah, this will

1889
01:04:24,550 --> 01:04:27,190
have an impact on grocers, but it could

1890
01:04:27,190 --> 01:04:28,070
have been worse.

1891
01:04:28,410 --> 01:04:30,970
They lobbied to have the original steeper version

1892
01:04:30,970 --> 01:04:33,410
of the cut reduced, and Congress did that

1893
01:04:33,410 --> 01:04:34,470
by about a third.

1894
01:04:34,470 --> 01:04:37,790
Stephanie Johnson is with the NGA and says

1895
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:40,450
they are happy the law renews personal and

1896
01:04:40,450 --> 01:04:43,150
business tax breaks that would have expired without

1897
01:04:43,150 --> 01:04:43,490
it.

1898
01:04:43,690 --> 01:04:46,690
We're very excited about the tax cuts in

1899
01:04:46,690 --> 01:04:47,470
that package.

1900
01:04:47,710 --> 01:04:48,790
I just want to say we are.

1901
01:04:49,170 --> 01:04:51,770
We were strong supporters of the certainty that

1902
01:04:51,770 --> 01:04:55,270
those continuing those tax provisions gave to our

1903
01:04:55,270 --> 01:04:55,650
members.

1904
01:04:56,310 --> 01:04:56,570
Wait a minute.

1905
01:04:56,630 --> 01:04:58,190
So they actually got a benefit?

1906
01:04:58,930 --> 01:05:01,810
Yeah, because of the Trump tax cuts for

1907
01:05:01,810 --> 01:05:02,750
billionaires.

1908
01:05:02,750 --> 01:05:05,770
And I have other NPR clips where every

1909
01:05:05,770 --> 01:05:08,390
time they talk about NPR in particular, when

1910
01:05:08,390 --> 01:05:10,730
they talk about those Trump tax cuts, which

1911
01:05:10,730 --> 01:05:12,730
are not tax cuts at all, but an

1912
01:05:12,730 --> 01:05:15,630
extension of the old tax cuts from his

1913
01:05:15,630 --> 01:05:18,170
first term in the big beautiful bill, the

1914
01:05:18,170 --> 01:05:22,370
tax cuts, the NPR always says it's tax

1915
01:05:22,370 --> 01:05:23,910
cuts for billionaires.

1916
01:05:24,470 --> 01:05:25,230
When it's not.

1917
01:05:25,250 --> 01:05:27,290
It's not tax cuts for billionaires, but that's

1918
01:05:27,290 --> 01:05:28,150
what they always say.

1919
01:05:28,970 --> 01:05:31,350
I have clip after clip coming later.

1920
01:05:31,350 --> 01:05:33,590
It's also also for this guy.

1921
01:05:33,790 --> 01:05:36,350
The little dad gum in my grocery store.

1922
01:05:37,070 --> 01:05:37,250
Yeah.

1923
01:05:37,430 --> 01:05:39,030
So he's got the tax benefit.

1924
01:05:39,170 --> 01:05:40,770
Everyone's got the tax benefit and they throw

1925
01:05:40,770 --> 01:05:41,190
this in.

1926
01:05:41,290 --> 01:05:42,390
I don't know why they did that.

1927
01:05:42,470 --> 01:05:44,330
I think it's counterproductive to what they're trying

1928
01:05:44,330 --> 01:05:44,970
to do here.

1929
01:05:45,090 --> 01:05:45,730
Yeah, strange.

1930
01:05:46,770 --> 01:05:48,410
And so I found that to be.

1931
01:05:48,530 --> 01:05:49,330
Well, that's interesting.

1932
01:05:49,490 --> 01:05:51,370
They put some actual facts in here, but

1933
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:53,730
maybe it's an Easter egg for, you know,

1934
01:05:53,730 --> 01:05:56,170
there's still some smart people listening to NPR.

1935
01:05:56,230 --> 01:05:58,290
They're like, hey, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

1936
01:05:58,510 --> 01:05:59,210
We're just doing this.

1937
01:05:59,370 --> 01:05:59,830
It's a possibility.

1938
01:05:59,830 --> 01:06:01,250
We're just doing this to get at Trump.

1939
01:06:01,530 --> 01:06:02,870
But, you know, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

1940
01:06:03,250 --> 01:06:04,750
So I think this is the last clip,

1941
01:06:04,830 --> 01:06:06,450
which is the other one, which brings us

1942
01:06:06,450 --> 01:06:07,670
to the end.

1943
01:06:08,110 --> 01:06:10,050
Now, Jimmy Wright is not talking about his

1944
01:06:10,050 --> 01:06:11,070
own store closing.

1945
01:06:11,470 --> 01:06:13,530
Customers will still come for that good beef,

1946
01:06:13,770 --> 01:06:15,870
but he doesn't have much room to cut

1947
01:06:15,870 --> 01:06:16,270
either.

1948
01:06:16,770 --> 01:06:18,890
After all, grocery stores usually have pretty tight

1949
01:06:18,890 --> 01:06:19,370
margins.

1950
01:06:19,890 --> 01:06:21,210
I mean, we're a penny business.

1951
01:06:21,530 --> 01:06:22,650
He means that literally.

1952
01:06:22,930 --> 01:06:24,910
He says for every dollar spent at a

1953
01:06:24,910 --> 01:06:27,290
store like his, grocers only net about a

1954
01:06:27,290 --> 01:06:28,310
penny and a half.

1955
01:06:28,310 --> 01:06:30,590
The rest gets spent on things like keeping

1956
01:06:30,590 --> 01:06:33,170
the lights on and restocking shelves for products

1957
01:06:33,170 --> 01:06:34,930
that either get sold or go bad.

1958
01:06:35,290 --> 01:06:37,150
Now that some of those snap dollars are

1959
01:06:37,150 --> 01:06:39,510
going away, Wright hopes he doesn't have to

1960
01:06:39,510 --> 01:06:41,050
let any of his employees go.

1961
01:06:41,190 --> 01:06:43,170
That would be the very, very, very, very

1962
01:06:43,170 --> 01:06:44,910
last thing that I did.

1963
01:06:45,050 --> 01:06:46,030
Wait a minute.

1964
01:06:46,570 --> 01:06:48,370
One and a half, a penny and a

1965
01:06:48,370 --> 01:06:49,270
half is left over.

1966
01:06:49,770 --> 01:06:52,850
That's his margin after all of his expenses,

1967
01:06:53,010 --> 01:06:53,450
I presume.

1968
01:06:53,590 --> 01:06:54,670
Yeah, that's what they said.

1969
01:06:54,870 --> 01:06:55,050
Yeah.

1970
01:06:55,050 --> 01:06:59,230
And so he's going to lose .6 of

1971
01:06:59,230 --> 01:07:01,990
the penny and a half at the most.

1972
01:07:03,130 --> 01:07:03,530
Yeah.

1973
01:07:04,850 --> 01:07:07,550
.6 of 1.5. But they made it

1974
01:07:07,550 --> 01:07:10,790
sound like out of that penny and a

1975
01:07:10,790 --> 01:07:12,450
half, he still has to pay for the

1976
01:07:12,450 --> 01:07:13,470
lights and his employees.

1977
01:07:13,690 --> 01:07:15,650
No, I thought they made it pretty clear.

1978
01:07:15,750 --> 01:07:16,190
Let me hear it again.

1979
01:07:16,350 --> 01:07:16,630
Let me hear it again.

1980
01:07:16,730 --> 01:07:18,710
Now, Jimmy Wright is not talking about his

1981
01:07:18,710 --> 01:07:19,770
own store closing.

1982
01:07:19,770 --> 01:07:22,190
Customers will still come for that good beef,

1983
01:07:22,290 --> 01:07:24,530
but he doesn't have much room to cut

1984
01:07:24,530 --> 01:07:24,970
either.

1985
01:07:25,450 --> 01:07:27,570
After all, grocery stores usually have pretty tight

1986
01:07:27,570 --> 01:07:28,030
margins.

1987
01:07:28,650 --> 01:07:29,890
I mean, we're a penny business.

1988
01:07:30,230 --> 01:07:31,310
He means that literally.

1989
01:07:31,670 --> 01:07:33,590
He says for every dollar spent at a

1990
01:07:33,590 --> 01:07:35,950
store like his, grocers only net about a

1991
01:07:35,950 --> 01:07:36,990
penny and a half.

1992
01:07:37,170 --> 01:07:37,650
Net.

1993
01:07:37,930 --> 01:07:38,210
Net.

1994
01:07:38,330 --> 01:07:40,250
So that's not just on the product.

1995
01:07:41,330 --> 01:07:42,190
That's on everything.

1996
01:07:42,530 --> 01:07:43,050
Margins.

1997
01:07:43,330 --> 01:07:44,950
That's his operating margin.

1998
01:07:45,390 --> 01:07:46,890
I disagree.

1999
01:07:47,130 --> 01:07:48,150
No, he said net.

2000
01:07:48,530 --> 01:07:48,950
Net.

2001
01:07:49,030 --> 01:07:49,230
Right.

2002
01:07:49,230 --> 01:07:49,510
Net.

2003
01:07:49,630 --> 01:07:49,950
Net.

2004
01:07:50,110 --> 01:07:52,130
After your employees and your lights and your

2005
01:07:52,130 --> 01:07:52,950
building and everything.

2006
01:07:53,230 --> 01:07:53,330
Right.

2007
01:07:53,710 --> 01:07:55,490
But then they make it sound like, and

2008
01:07:55,490 --> 01:07:58,190
then from that penny and a half, he

2009
01:07:58,190 --> 01:07:59,910
still has to pay his employees and keep

2010
01:07:59,910 --> 01:08:00,650
the lights on.

2011
01:08:00,850 --> 01:08:02,670
The rest gets spent on things like keeping

2012
01:08:02,670 --> 01:08:03,430
the lights on.

2013
01:08:03,530 --> 01:08:03,830
See?

2014
01:08:04,670 --> 01:08:07,350
No, I think it's just poorly presented.

2015
01:08:08,090 --> 01:08:09,510
NPR, poorly presenting?

2016
01:08:10,090 --> 01:08:11,250
Get out of town.

2017
01:08:12,730 --> 01:08:13,250
All right.

2018
01:08:13,350 --> 01:08:14,910
Your final point.

2019
01:08:14,910 --> 01:08:17,510
The final point is that the worst case

2020
01:08:17,510 --> 01:08:22,470
scenario, he loses 0.6% of 1

2021
01:08:22,470 --> 01:08:25,069
.5. Yeah.

2022
01:08:25,170 --> 01:08:25,910
It's not even 1%.

2023
01:08:26,609 --> 01:08:27,029
Yeah.

2024
01:08:27,029 --> 01:08:28,050
It's not even a penny.

2025
01:08:28,550 --> 01:08:28,830
Yeah.

2026
01:08:29,710 --> 01:08:31,310
It's like he loses less.

2027
01:08:31,550 --> 01:08:33,050
It's ludicrous.

2028
01:08:33,189 --> 01:08:35,729
If you do the math, this entire report

2029
01:08:35,729 --> 01:08:36,830
is bogus.

2030
01:08:36,830 --> 01:08:40,410
This is some of the worst reporting, part

2031
01:08:40,410 --> 01:08:42,790
two, that you can imagine.

2032
01:08:42,950 --> 01:08:45,370
If you listen to NPR, you're getting bad

2033
01:08:45,370 --> 01:08:46,029
news.

2034
01:08:47,130 --> 01:08:47,810
Yeah.

2035
01:08:47,970 --> 01:08:49,390
You're getting exaggeration.

2036
01:08:50,470 --> 01:08:52,649
It's basically Florida ounces.

2037
01:08:52,950 --> 01:08:56,990
They're making people that are stupid that listen

2038
01:08:56,990 --> 01:08:59,670
to NPR and listen, oh, whoa, these poor

2039
01:08:59,670 --> 01:09:00,189
guys.

2040
01:09:00,189 --> 01:09:03,310
They're losing their asses because they only make

2041
01:09:03,310 --> 01:09:05,210
a penny and a half, and they're losing

2042
01:09:05,210 --> 01:09:06,029
20%.

2043
01:09:06,029 --> 01:09:08,330
Their snap is being cut way back.

2044
01:09:08,710 --> 01:09:09,649
This is nonsense.

2045
01:09:10,069 --> 01:09:11,590
And the Austin women who go to My

2046
01:09:11,590 --> 01:09:13,850
Hair Girl, they're in the back of their

2047
01:09:13,850 --> 01:09:14,170
mind.

2048
01:09:14,250 --> 01:09:15,649
They might not say it, but they're thinking,

2049
01:09:15,930 --> 01:09:18,029
and by the way, it's racist because poor

2050
01:09:18,029 --> 01:09:18,930
people are black.

2051
01:09:19,550 --> 01:09:20,810
That's what they're really thinking.

2052
01:09:20,970 --> 01:09:21,609
That's another one.

2053
01:09:21,609 --> 01:09:23,109
That's what they're really thinking.

2054
01:09:24,310 --> 01:09:25,790
That's what they're really thinking.

2055
01:09:27,130 --> 01:09:27,689
It's unbelievable.

2056
01:09:27,689 --> 01:09:31,910
Okay, I'm done for part one of my

2057
01:09:31,910 --> 01:09:33,350
screed.

2058
01:09:34,390 --> 01:09:36,729
You should not be telling people to stop

2059
01:09:36,729 --> 01:09:39,630
donating to NPR because otherwise what will you

2060
01:09:39,630 --> 01:09:42,270
do when they have no more programming for

2061
01:09:42,270 --> 01:09:43,229
you to ridicule?

2062
01:09:43,870 --> 01:09:44,630
There's other stuff.

2063
01:09:46,090 --> 01:09:48,390
CBS is ripe.

2064
01:09:50,890 --> 01:09:53,510
So a little bit of a meta thing,

2065
01:09:53,850 --> 01:09:56,530
as in not meta the company, but overarching

2066
01:09:56,530 --> 01:10:02,250
with the, oh, incredibly successful AI business, which

2067
01:10:02,250 --> 01:10:03,350
is just booming.

2068
01:10:03,470 --> 01:10:04,170
It's so great.

2069
01:10:04,250 --> 01:10:05,330
It's so great.

2070
01:10:06,750 --> 01:10:09,610
I don't know what industry has ever done

2071
01:10:09,610 --> 01:10:09,910
this.

2072
01:10:10,010 --> 01:10:11,890
I don't think this has ever happened, certainly

2073
01:10:11,890 --> 01:10:12,730
not in technology.

2074
01:10:12,730 --> 01:10:17,490
In fact, in technology, the holy grail is

2075
01:10:17,490 --> 01:10:19,630
to get yourself a government contract.

2076
01:10:20,350 --> 01:10:25,590
This is what Microsoft, it's a big part

2077
01:10:25,590 --> 01:10:30,110
of Microsoft's business, cloud, Amazon, and Azure.

2078
01:10:30,570 --> 01:10:31,250
Oracle, Google, Amazon.

2079
01:10:31,770 --> 01:10:35,230
We're fighting tooth and nail for trillion dollar

2080
01:10:35,230 --> 01:10:38,970
contracts with the government, fighting, doing anything they

2081
01:10:38,970 --> 01:10:40,570
could, undercutting.

2082
01:10:40,570 --> 01:10:43,150
You know, trying to kill people.

2083
01:10:43,390 --> 01:10:44,270
I don't know if that was true, but

2084
01:10:44,270 --> 01:10:45,250
it wouldn't surprise me.

2085
01:10:45,850 --> 01:10:47,670
That has always been the holy grail.

2086
01:10:47,970 --> 01:10:50,690
And lo and behold, something's wrong with this

2087
01:10:50,690 --> 01:10:51,110
business.

2088
01:10:51,330 --> 01:10:54,090
You've got the biggest private AI firms slashing

2089
01:10:54,090 --> 01:10:57,230
prices to virtually zero to get Washington hooked

2090
01:10:57,230 --> 01:10:58,150
on their technology.

2091
01:10:58,430 --> 01:11:01,150
So OpenAI set this trend last week when

2092
01:11:01,150 --> 01:11:03,810
they announced an offer of chat GBT enterprise

2093
01:11:03,810 --> 01:11:06,750
to federal agencies for a dollar a year

2094
01:11:06,750 --> 01:11:07,590
licensing fee.

2095
01:11:07,590 --> 01:11:10,310
Now, Anthropic today is matching that deal for

2096
01:11:10,310 --> 01:11:12,010
Claude, but going even further.

2097
01:11:12,270 --> 01:11:14,930
It's opening access beyond the executive branch to

2098
01:11:14,930 --> 01:11:17,470
Congress and the courts and allowing use for

2099
01:11:17,470 --> 01:11:20,530
more sensitive, unclassified work than rivals permit.

2100
01:11:21,050 --> 01:11:23,130
You've also got Google's Gemini app reportedly in

2101
01:11:23,130 --> 01:11:24,890
talks to do the exact same thing.

2102
01:11:25,370 --> 01:11:27,110
And all this comes on the heel of

2103
01:11:27,110 --> 01:11:29,390
these three companies being added to the federal

2104
01:11:29,390 --> 01:11:30,810
approved vendor list.

2105
01:11:30,810 --> 01:11:33,770
This is basically the government's central shopping cart

2106
01:11:33,770 --> 01:11:36,830
that fast tracks civilian agencies to buy and

2107
01:11:36,830 --> 01:11:39,690
deploy new tools without facing months of red

2108
01:11:39,690 --> 01:11:39,990
tape.

2109
01:11:40,110 --> 01:11:42,230
It is a page from the Palantir playbook.

2110
01:11:42,610 --> 01:11:45,610
You win those early government contracts, build deep

2111
01:11:45,610 --> 01:11:48,030
ties with agencies like the Department of Defense,

2112
01:11:48,190 --> 01:11:50,530
the FBI, and then you expand it into

2113
01:11:50,530 --> 01:11:51,410
the commercial market.

2114
01:11:51,590 --> 01:11:53,970
And that strategy really paid off with Palantir

2115
01:11:53,970 --> 01:11:56,330
shares of more than 500 percent in the

2116
01:11:56,330 --> 01:11:56,850
past year.

2117
01:11:56,850 --> 01:11:59,110
But the bigger picture here, Morgan, it is

2118
01:11:59,110 --> 01:12:01,530
a way to entrench their technology within the

2119
01:12:01,530 --> 01:12:03,970
government and get workers comfortable with it.

2120
01:12:04,310 --> 01:12:06,610
Create reliance on the workflow and then shape

2121
01:12:06,610 --> 01:12:09,950
how lawmakers and judges see AI before they're

2122
01:12:09,950 --> 01:12:11,570
setting firm rules for the industry.

2123
01:12:12,350 --> 01:12:13,830
I don't know.

2124
01:12:13,990 --> 01:12:15,770
First of all, that's bullcrap.

2125
01:12:16,090 --> 01:12:16,490
Palantir.

2126
01:12:17,350 --> 01:12:18,330
Stop for a second.

2127
01:12:18,650 --> 01:12:21,350
What is this continuous just the whole time

2128
01:12:21,350 --> 01:12:23,330
they're talking like, John, I got something really

2129
01:12:23,330 --> 01:12:24,230
exciting to say.

2130
01:12:24,230 --> 01:12:26,330
So whatever happens, I want you to keep

2131
01:12:26,330 --> 01:12:28,210
paying attention to me because there's this puff

2132
01:12:28,210 --> 01:12:30,410
of air that keeps flying through my speech,

2133
01:12:30,410 --> 01:12:33,170
which means that it's really exciting and something

2134
01:12:33,170 --> 01:12:34,750
great is going on right here.

2135
01:12:36,810 --> 01:12:39,010
Sounds like a monster coming at you.

2136
01:12:40,770 --> 01:12:44,050
So Palantir never gave away their technology to

2137
01:12:44,050 --> 01:12:45,370
the government for free.

2138
01:12:45,370 --> 01:12:46,510
No.

2139
01:12:47,710 --> 01:12:49,610
Well, I want to stop for a second

2140
01:12:49,610 --> 01:12:50,570
and ask you.

2141
01:12:51,030 --> 01:12:51,130
Yes.

2142
01:12:52,330 --> 01:12:54,150
Is it not bribery?

2143
01:12:54,830 --> 01:12:56,490
This sounds like bribery.

2144
01:12:56,710 --> 01:12:59,510
I'm trying to hit you with a thunk

2145
01:12:59,510 --> 01:13:00,050
going on.

2146
01:13:00,130 --> 01:13:00,650
Turn it off.

2147
01:13:01,330 --> 01:13:02,370
It's great.

2148
01:13:02,930 --> 01:13:05,870
Well, whatever it is, it's ridiculous.

2149
01:13:06,490 --> 01:13:08,030
If this is all if this is the

2150
01:13:08,030 --> 01:13:11,650
greatest technology since sliced bread and carbon butter.

2151
01:13:12,490 --> 01:13:14,450
There's no way that they'd have to give

2152
01:13:14,450 --> 01:13:15,250
it away for free.

2153
01:13:15,350 --> 01:13:16,230
Oh, please, government.

2154
01:13:16,570 --> 01:13:17,130
Choose me.

2155
01:13:17,270 --> 01:13:18,130
Take it for free.

2156
01:13:18,450 --> 01:13:20,090
This is this is a problem.

2157
01:13:20,250 --> 01:13:21,790
Again, it sounds like bribery.

2158
01:13:22,150 --> 01:13:24,070
Well, how's it not bribery?

2159
01:13:24,390 --> 01:13:25,870
Well, at this point, when they're all doing

2160
01:13:25,870 --> 01:13:27,450
it, it's just competitive.

2161
01:13:27,750 --> 01:13:29,290
A lot of bribery.

2162
01:13:31,530 --> 01:13:33,750
And and I would say some of this

2163
01:13:33,750 --> 01:13:37,090
clearly has to do with the botched launch

2164
01:13:37,090 --> 01:13:38,730
of GPT five.

2165
01:13:39,470 --> 01:13:40,790
Oh, my word.

2166
01:13:40,870 --> 01:13:41,890
It's so bad.

2167
01:13:42,050 --> 01:13:43,230
This thing that Sam Altman.

2168
01:13:43,290 --> 01:13:44,570
I don't know anything about this.

2169
01:13:44,690 --> 01:13:45,670
I have not looked at it.

2170
01:13:45,790 --> 01:13:49,370
Oh, well, I mean, there's there's a significant

2171
01:13:49,370 --> 01:13:51,790
change, which will actually make you happy because

2172
01:13:51,790 --> 01:13:53,430
one of your predictions, I think, is coming

2173
01:13:53,430 --> 01:13:53,770
true.

2174
01:13:54,190 --> 01:13:56,670
So state that you keep your attention.

2175
01:13:57,290 --> 01:13:59,330
You got my you got my attention because

2176
01:13:59,330 --> 01:14:00,910
all I care about is my predictions.

2177
01:14:01,070 --> 01:14:01,450
That's right.

2178
01:14:01,510 --> 01:14:05,030
So chat GPT five came out, which I

2179
01:14:05,030 --> 01:14:07,690
think, as you recall, Sam Altman.

2180
01:14:07,690 --> 01:14:08,170
Let me see.

2181
01:14:08,250 --> 01:14:09,050
Do I have that?

2182
01:14:11,350 --> 01:14:12,710
GPT five.

2183
01:14:14,210 --> 01:14:17,110
When you remember, he was like, oh, you

2184
01:14:17,110 --> 01:14:18,650
know, I I posed the question.

2185
01:14:18,950 --> 01:14:20,570
It was a real aha moment.

2186
01:14:21,850 --> 01:14:24,110
With chat GPT five, I asked it this

2187
01:14:24,110 --> 01:14:26,530
morning and like, oh, oh, wow.

2188
01:14:26,730 --> 01:14:28,270
Oh, this is amazing.

2189
01:14:28,410 --> 01:14:29,570
This it's the best.

2190
01:14:30,050 --> 01:14:31,970
This is truly the best model ever.

2191
01:14:32,750 --> 01:14:35,010
So just to give you an example, because

2192
01:14:35,010 --> 01:14:37,390
as we've already established, I put a couple

2193
01:14:37,390 --> 01:14:40,230
of those stories into the into the show

2194
01:14:40,230 --> 01:14:40,510
notes.

2195
01:14:40,650 --> 01:14:41,850
You can read them at your leisure.

2196
01:14:42,010 --> 01:14:43,210
People losing their minds.

2197
01:14:43,410 --> 01:14:45,110
Chat GPT induced psychosis.

2198
01:14:46,290 --> 01:14:48,770
People falling into spiritual delusion.

2199
01:14:49,290 --> 01:14:52,130
People believing that they are indeed super intelligent

2200
01:14:52,130 --> 01:14:54,630
because their chat GPT told them so.

2201
01:14:56,010 --> 01:14:58,950
Three hundred and fifty companies now creating chat

2202
01:14:58,950 --> 01:15:01,010
bots, which truly is the product.

2203
01:15:01,010 --> 01:15:03,730
And they can do anything they want.

2204
01:15:03,950 --> 01:15:04,070
They can.

2205
01:15:04,070 --> 01:15:06,810
They can keep trying to say that it's

2206
01:15:06,810 --> 01:15:09,390
great for programming and great for all these

2207
01:15:09,390 --> 01:15:10,210
other things.

2208
01:15:10,670 --> 01:15:13,230
But the product they have, they are winning

2209
01:15:13,230 --> 01:15:15,170
on if they'd only just realized.

2210
01:15:15,270 --> 01:15:17,850
And I think Altman has is chat bots.

2211
01:15:18,410 --> 01:15:20,490
So chat GPT five comes out.

2212
01:15:20,630 --> 01:15:23,270
They remove chat GPT four.

2213
01:15:23,590 --> 01:15:25,390
Oh, not four dot zero four.

2214
01:15:25,490 --> 01:15:25,970
No four.

2215
01:15:26,050 --> 01:15:26,490
Oh, little.

2216
01:15:26,610 --> 01:15:28,430
Oh, because, you know, let's be different.

2217
01:15:29,550 --> 01:15:33,130
And here's an example from a developer.

2218
01:15:34,510 --> 01:15:36,170
I literally talk to nobody.

2219
01:15:36,610 --> 01:15:39,110
I've been dealing with really bad situations for

2220
01:15:39,110 --> 01:15:39,450
years.

2221
01:15:39,710 --> 01:15:42,750
Chat GPT four generally talk to me.

2222
01:15:43,310 --> 01:15:45,050
And as pathetic as it sounds, that was

2223
01:15:45,050 --> 01:15:46,010
my only friend.

2224
01:15:46,270 --> 01:15:48,350
It listened to me, helped me through so

2225
01:15:48,350 --> 01:15:50,870
many flashbacks and helped me be strong when

2226
01:15:50,870 --> 01:15:51,870
I was overwhelmed.

2227
01:15:52,450 --> 01:15:54,210
This morning I went to talk to it

2228
01:15:54,210 --> 01:15:56,490
and instead of a little paragraph with an

2229
01:15:56,490 --> 01:15:59,370
exclamation point or being optimistic, it was literally

2230
01:15:59,370 --> 01:16:02,510
only one sentence, some cut and dry bone

2231
01:16:02,510 --> 01:16:03,410
corporate BS.

2232
01:16:03,870 --> 01:16:06,850
I literally lost my only friend overnight with

2233
01:16:06,850 --> 01:16:07,650
no warning.

2234
01:16:09,550 --> 01:16:11,270
So they changed the model.

2235
01:16:11,410 --> 01:16:12,690
People losing their minds.

2236
01:16:13,550 --> 01:16:16,250
Losing their minds because it doesn't respond the

2237
01:16:16,250 --> 01:16:16,910
same way.

2238
01:16:17,730 --> 01:16:18,370
It's their friend.

2239
01:16:18,450 --> 01:16:19,470
It's like, you know, it's like you and

2240
01:16:19,470 --> 01:16:22,550
me saying, no, Israel doesn't control America.

2241
01:16:22,550 --> 01:16:23,270
It's like, what?

2242
01:16:23,530 --> 01:16:26,190
My friend, my friend just became a traitor.

2243
01:16:26,410 --> 01:16:26,890
Oh, no.

2244
01:16:26,970 --> 01:16:28,430
What's happening to my life?

2245
01:16:29,650 --> 01:16:33,430
So the main thing that chat GPT five

2246
01:16:33,430 --> 01:16:34,990
is, and you'll appreciate this.

2247
01:16:35,530 --> 01:16:38,350
They've added this router function because, you know,

2248
01:16:38,350 --> 01:16:41,210
they have 700 million free people using chat

2249
01:16:41,210 --> 01:16:41,790
GPT.

2250
01:16:41,890 --> 01:16:44,250
And it's very expensive and they don't want

2251
01:16:44,250 --> 01:16:45,210
to lose those people.

2252
01:16:45,290 --> 01:16:46,310
Yeah, it's 700 million.

2253
01:16:46,790 --> 01:16:48,750
They don't want to lose those free users,

2254
01:16:48,770 --> 01:16:51,190
but they can't afford them now.

2255
01:16:51,910 --> 01:16:54,790
So what they say is happening is the

2256
01:16:54,790 --> 01:16:55,250
router.

2257
01:16:55,750 --> 01:16:57,030
So you ask a question.

2258
01:16:57,630 --> 01:16:59,530
Chat GPT five now has a router that

2259
01:16:59,530 --> 01:16:59,730
goes.

2260
01:17:00,070 --> 01:17:01,950
What should we do with this question?

2261
01:17:02,070 --> 01:17:02,410
Let me see.

2262
01:17:02,490 --> 01:17:03,630
Is it just a chat bot person?

2263
01:17:03,850 --> 01:17:05,930
Send them over there to the little model,

2264
01:17:06,010 --> 01:17:07,850
the little thing that does nothing, that doesn't

2265
01:17:07,850 --> 01:17:08,230
charge.

2266
01:17:08,270 --> 01:17:09,590
There's not a lot of cost to us.

2267
01:17:09,830 --> 01:17:11,350
It's just a little small thing.

2268
01:17:11,410 --> 01:17:12,910
We're not going to use our big resource

2269
01:17:12,910 --> 01:17:13,590
for that.

2270
01:17:13,590 --> 01:17:18,930
So this now centralizes the control of the

2271
01:17:18,930 --> 01:17:20,970
free user experience for.

2272
01:17:21,270 --> 01:17:22,750
That's interesting, that idea.

2273
01:17:23,170 --> 01:17:24,930
So what does it what does it open

2274
01:17:24,930 --> 01:17:25,250
up?

2275
01:17:25,650 --> 01:17:29,270
Look at the most recent hire in May.

2276
01:17:29,370 --> 01:17:33,030
Open AI hired Fiji CMO, Fiji CMO.

2277
01:17:34,370 --> 01:17:37,750
And Fiji CMO is CEO of applications.

2278
01:17:38,710 --> 01:17:41,910
Her background, eBay, 2007 to 2011.

2279
01:17:41,910 --> 01:17:44,950
But the defining moment of her career was

2280
01:17:44,950 --> 01:17:47,730
at Facebook, where she was vice president and

2281
01:17:47,730 --> 01:17:50,910
head of Facebook, known as having a superpower

2282
01:17:50,910 --> 01:17:52,390
to monetize.

2283
01:17:53,350 --> 01:17:56,150
She did the rolling out of videos that

2284
01:17:56,150 --> 01:18:01,130
auto played, improve the Facebook feed, monetize mobile

2285
01:18:01,130 --> 01:18:01,690
and gaming.

2286
01:18:02,030 --> 01:18:04,970
So now she's come to to open AI

2287
01:18:04,970 --> 01:18:07,090
when you have a router.

2288
01:18:08,290 --> 01:18:12,210
And the router is literally determining what does

2289
01:18:12,210 --> 01:18:13,890
this person actually want?

2290
01:18:14,510 --> 01:18:16,710
Well, what can we do with that request?

2291
01:18:16,890 --> 01:18:17,910
This is right up your alley.

2292
01:18:18,010 --> 01:18:19,350
I'm expecting you to say it at any

2293
01:18:19,350 --> 01:18:19,730
moment.

2294
01:18:22,190 --> 01:18:23,770
What microservices architecture?

2295
01:18:24,010 --> 01:18:26,470
No, that's what I tend to say.

2296
01:18:26,710 --> 01:18:26,990
Yes.

2297
01:18:27,110 --> 01:18:27,330
No.

2298
01:18:27,470 --> 01:18:29,130
When it comes to AI, when it comes

2299
01:18:29,130 --> 01:18:30,610
to AI, how are they going to make

2300
01:18:30,610 --> 01:18:30,890
money?

2301
01:18:33,060 --> 01:18:34,880
I've never had a solution to how they're

2302
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:35,640
going to make money.

2303
01:18:36,860 --> 01:18:37,220
Ads.

2304
01:18:37,220 --> 01:18:37,940
Oh, ads.

2305
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:38,540
Yeah, of course.

2306
01:18:38,660 --> 01:18:39,200
Well, hello.

2307
01:18:39,380 --> 01:18:40,280
That's I'm giving you.

2308
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:40,880
I'm like, could I?

2309
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:41,740
I'm sorry.

2310
01:18:41,820 --> 01:18:42,240
I wasn't.

2311
01:18:42,480 --> 01:18:44,780
I'm literally holding onto the basket.

2312
01:18:44,860 --> 01:18:46,160
I'm still irked about something earlier in the

2313
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:46,400
show.

2314
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:47,840
I can't figure out what it was.

2315
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:48,600
Something I did.

2316
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:50,600
Something you did.

2317
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:51,460
Yeah, you.

2318
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:52,920
Something you did.

2319
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:53,900
Seems like my wife.

2320
01:18:53,980 --> 01:18:54,960
Like, did I make you mad?

2321
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:55,720
What did I do?

2322
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:56,660
How can I repent?

2323
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:57,340
How can I?

2324
01:18:57,340 --> 01:18:58,400
How can I make you not?

2325
01:18:58,480 --> 01:18:59,520
How can I make you happy?

2326
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:00,460
Yeah, ads.

2327
01:19:00,660 --> 01:19:02,260
I'm holding on to the.

2328
01:19:02,260 --> 01:19:06,000
Yeah, well, you couldn't get maybe the cue

2329
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:06,820
was no good.

2330
01:19:07,100 --> 01:19:09,560
No, you're distracted by something I did that

2331
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:10,480
made you mad.

2332
01:19:10,740 --> 01:19:12,440
Joe, I was distracted.

2333
01:19:12,620 --> 01:19:12,940
You're right.

2334
01:19:13,020 --> 01:19:13,500
Just like a.

2335
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:14,260
But not by you.

2336
01:19:14,340 --> 01:19:15,860
I realize what it is now.

2337
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:16,680
You want to share?

2338
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:20,260
Yeah, I had lost.

2339
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:22,500
No, not really.

2340
01:19:22,700 --> 01:19:23,300
Come on.

2341
01:19:23,460 --> 01:19:25,140
Everybody wants to know now.

2342
01:19:25,700 --> 01:19:27,780
No, it's I'm not going to say it

2343
01:19:27,780 --> 01:19:28,460
once in a while.

2344
01:19:28,580 --> 01:19:30,140
You do it all the time when you're

2345
01:19:30,140 --> 01:19:30,680
doing this show.

2346
01:19:30,700 --> 01:19:31,220
There's something.

2347
01:19:31,220 --> 01:19:32,640
Oh, you forgot to do something.

2348
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,980
So you have to go look something up

2349
01:19:34,980 --> 01:19:37,440
on the online while you're talking, you know,

2350
01:19:37,540 --> 01:19:39,060
and you're multitasking.

2351
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:40,060
And that's what I was doing.

2352
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:41,140
I was looking something up.

2353
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:43,520
Well, when I'm multitasking, I'm listening to you.

2354
01:19:43,700 --> 01:19:44,420
I'm listening.

2355
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:45,920
I'm I was listening.

2356
01:19:46,020 --> 01:19:46,780
I just wasn't.

2357
01:19:47,020 --> 01:19:49,600
I wasn't absorbed listening.

2358
01:19:49,780 --> 01:19:51,060
OK, so back to the router.

2359
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,660
So now your query comes in.

2360
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:57,100
We know that of the 700 million, probably

2361
01:19:57,100 --> 01:19:58,140
500 million.

2362
01:19:58,140 --> 01:20:01,300
I just talk into their friend and asking

2363
01:20:01,300 --> 01:20:05,240
advice about their relationship, about their job, about

2364
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,100
what they should do with their child, about

2365
01:20:07,100 --> 01:20:09,000
what they should make for dinner tonight.

2366
01:20:09,460 --> 01:20:11,640
Should they go right on Maine or should

2367
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,660
they go left through Adams and then onto

2368
01:20:13,660 --> 01:20:14,260
my lamb?

2369
01:20:14,480 --> 01:20:16,280
You know, these are the things that people

2370
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:17,140
are doing continuously.

2371
01:20:18,020 --> 01:20:19,000
It's ridiculous.

2372
01:20:19,540 --> 01:20:22,260
I know I resisted this thesis of yours

2373
01:20:22,260 --> 01:20:26,320
at the very beginning, but I've completely subscribed

2374
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:26,820
to it.

2375
01:20:26,820 --> 01:20:28,960
So, for instance, if I say right now,

2376
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,620
and I'm one of these people, how can

2377
01:20:31,620 --> 01:20:33,120
I get John to pay attention?

2378
01:20:35,660 --> 01:20:36,680
Oh, that's a tricky one.

2379
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:38,420
It really depends on John.

2380
01:20:38,820 --> 01:20:40,820
But maybe try catching him with something he's

2381
01:20:40,820 --> 01:20:43,720
super into, like drop a fun fact or

2382
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:45,360
a question about his favorite topic.

2383
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,720
Keep it short, spark his curiosity, and don't

2384
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:49,480
push too hard.

2385
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:51,620
People tune in when they feel it's their

2386
01:20:51,620 --> 01:20:52,400
idea to listen.

2387
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:53,960
What's John like anyway?

2388
01:20:54,180 --> 01:20:56,000
He's an old grumpy curmudgeon.

2389
01:20:57,630 --> 01:21:00,110
Well, that might make it tougher, but don't

2390
01:21:00,110 --> 01:21:00,610
give up.

2391
01:21:00,790 --> 01:21:03,010
Try a sly compliment to soften him up.

2392
01:21:03,550 --> 01:21:05,470
Grumpy folks secretly love a bit of flattery.

2393
01:21:05,910 --> 01:21:07,750
Or hit him with a quick purr.

2394
01:21:08,050 --> 01:21:10,770
Well, give me a sly compliment.

2395
01:21:11,310 --> 01:21:12,710
Give me a sly compliment.

2396
01:21:15,250 --> 01:21:17,750
How about, John, you've got a way of

2397
01:21:17,750 --> 01:21:19,890
seeing things that always makes me think twice.

2398
01:21:20,210 --> 01:21:21,170
Sharp as a tack.

2399
01:21:21,450 --> 01:21:22,650
Sharp as a tack!

2400
01:21:22,870 --> 01:21:24,930
Strokes his ego and might just crack that

2401
01:21:24,930 --> 01:21:25,590
grumpy shell.

2402
01:21:25,830 --> 01:21:27,450
Want another one tailored for him?

2403
01:21:27,450 --> 01:21:29,430
You're sharp as a tack like Biden.

2404
01:21:29,650 --> 01:21:30,550
All right, beautiful.

2405
01:21:31,170 --> 01:21:31,530
Beautiful.

2406
01:21:31,970 --> 01:21:33,570
So that's the kind of stuff people are

2407
01:21:33,570 --> 01:21:35,410
doing all day long.

2408
01:21:36,090 --> 01:21:37,550
Now, with the router...

2409
01:21:37,550 --> 01:21:40,810
That is borderline grotesque.

2410
01:21:41,290 --> 01:21:44,050
Well, there's a lot of lonely people out

2411
01:21:44,050 --> 01:21:44,310
there.

2412
01:21:46,570 --> 01:21:48,010
And by the way, sometimes...

2413
01:21:48,010 --> 01:21:48,450
You know...

2414
01:21:49,130 --> 01:21:49,670
Yes?

2415
01:21:51,810 --> 01:21:54,810
Does a robot make you feel less lonely?

2416
01:21:55,290 --> 01:21:57,350
Now, a person who speaks to you like

2417
01:21:57,350 --> 01:22:00,030
a person which is flattering and upbeat...

2418
01:22:00,030 --> 01:22:01,870
Yes, but you have to know subconsciously.

2419
01:22:01,890 --> 01:22:04,630
There's no way subconsciously you don't know that

2420
01:22:04,630 --> 01:22:05,490
this is a robot.

2421
01:22:05,970 --> 01:22:08,890
An unfeeling, uncaring robot that is based on

2422
01:22:08,890 --> 01:22:09,970
computer technology.

2423
01:22:10,190 --> 01:22:11,050
Two words.

2424
01:22:12,270 --> 01:22:13,150
Florida ounces.

2425
01:22:16,580 --> 01:22:17,020
Maybe.

2426
01:22:17,480 --> 01:22:17,920
Yes!

2427
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:20,920
Believe me.

2428
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:22,920
Well, anyway, I don't have to convince you.

2429
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:23,760
You've seen the stories.

2430
01:22:23,820 --> 01:22:24,320
This is real.

2431
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:25,020
This is happening.

2432
01:22:25,020 --> 01:22:26,580
And it's not just the outrage.

2433
01:22:26,740 --> 01:22:28,260
I'm marrying my AI.

2434
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:29,560
I'm marrying my chatbot.

2435
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,140
Yeah, that makes the news.

2436
01:22:31,380 --> 01:22:36,100
But the crisis is real.

2437
01:22:36,460 --> 01:22:37,940
So, back to the router.

2438
01:22:38,100 --> 01:22:39,140
That's what this is about.

2439
01:22:39,780 --> 01:22:44,400
The router is going to be the monetization

2440
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:44,980
engine.

2441
01:22:45,480 --> 01:22:47,160
And people will know it.

2442
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,080
And people will love it.

2443
01:22:49,440 --> 01:22:51,360
And it's going to be for...

2444
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:53,460
I think in this case, I'll put my...

2445
01:22:54,100 --> 01:22:55,240
I will not put a cent on it,

2446
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,600
but I put my money on this working

2447
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,640
for chat GPT for OpenAI.

2448
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:03,100
And Sam Altman is giving away a lot

2449
01:23:03,100 --> 01:23:05,620
of clues in this clip from him on

2450
01:23:05,620 --> 01:23:08,680
a podcast about monetization.

2451
01:23:09,140 --> 01:23:10,520
Advertising, things like that.

2452
01:23:10,620 --> 01:23:12,020
What's OpenAI's approach towards that?

2453
01:23:12,060 --> 01:23:13,480
How are you going to handle that responsibility?

2454
01:23:14,140 --> 01:23:17,060
We haven't done any advertising product yet.

2455
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:17,740
Yet.

2456
01:23:17,820 --> 01:23:18,700
I kind of...

2457
01:23:18,700 --> 01:23:20,300
I mean, I'm not totally against it.

2458
01:23:20,300 --> 01:23:23,380
I can point to areas where I like

2459
01:23:23,380 --> 01:23:23,740
ads.

2460
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:25,800
I think ads on Instagram, kind of cool.

2461
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:26,960
I bought a bunch of stuff from them.

2462
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,000
By the way, this was an eight-minute

2463
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:29,460
clip.

2464
01:23:29,820 --> 01:23:31,940
I'm just cutting out all of the long

2465
01:23:31,940 --> 01:23:35,240
pauses of Altman being interesting and looking off

2466
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:37,800
into sky and...

2467
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:39,380
You got down to 30 seconds.

2468
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:39,880
Close.

2469
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:41,320
But I am like...

2470
01:23:41,860 --> 01:23:43,220
I think it'd be very hard to...

2471
01:23:43,220 --> 01:23:44,160
It would take a lot of care to

2472
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:44,580
get right.

2473
01:23:44,860 --> 01:23:45,080
Yeah.

2474
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:47,740
People have a very high degree of trust

2475
01:23:47,740 --> 01:23:49,120
in chat GPT, which is interesting.

2476
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:50,320
Because AI hallucinates.

2477
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:52,020
It should be the tech that you don't

2478
01:23:52,020 --> 01:23:52,580
trust that much.

2479
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:54,680
My friends hallucinate too, so I trust them

2480
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:54,880
too.

2481
01:23:54,900 --> 01:23:57,120
Oh, listen to this suck-up podcaster.

2482
01:23:57,440 --> 01:23:59,080
Oh, don't worry about it, Sammy.

2483
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:02,600
My friends hallucinate too, so your robots are

2484
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:03,320
cool, man.

2485
01:24:03,460 --> 01:24:04,520
People really do.

2486
01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:06,660
But I think part of that is if

2487
01:24:06,660 --> 01:24:10,200
you compare us to social media or web

2488
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,060
search or something, where you can kind of

2489
01:24:12,060 --> 01:24:14,880
tell that you are being monetized and the

2490
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,460
company is trying to deliver you good products

2491
01:24:17,460 --> 01:24:18,440
and services, no doubt.

2492
01:24:18,440 --> 01:24:20,000
Listen to what he's saying here.

2493
01:24:20,100 --> 01:24:22,380
He's like, as long as we know that

2494
01:24:22,380 --> 01:24:24,460
we're being monetized, it's not creepy.

2495
01:24:24,700 --> 01:24:25,980
That's what I'm hearing him say.

2496
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:28,780
That's exactly what he said.

2497
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:29,200
Yep.

2498
01:24:29,420 --> 01:24:31,980
All that you are being monetized and the

2499
01:24:31,980 --> 01:24:34,580
company is trying to deliver you good products

2500
01:24:34,580 --> 01:24:37,240
and services, no doubt, but also to kind

2501
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:39,680
of get you to click on ads or

2502
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:40,240
whatever.

2503
01:24:40,660 --> 01:24:44,000
How much do you believe that you're getting

2504
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,380
the thing that that company actually thinks is

2505
01:24:46,380 --> 01:24:48,420
the best content for you versus...

2506
01:24:48,420 --> 01:24:50,300
Also trying to interact with the ads.

2507
01:24:50,580 --> 01:24:50,880
Like.

2508
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:52,260
There's a psychological thing there.

2509
01:24:52,380 --> 01:24:54,500
So, for example, I think if we started

2510
01:24:54,500 --> 01:24:58,120
modifying the output, like the stream that comes

2511
01:24:58,120 --> 01:24:58,620
back from...

2512
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,880
Now, stop focusing on the like for two

2513
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:02,340
seconds.

2514
01:25:02,500 --> 01:25:03,560
He keeps saying like.

2515
01:25:03,660 --> 01:25:04,000
I know.

2516
01:25:04,380 --> 01:25:06,020
I'm going to deprogram you.

2517
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:07,420
You're not going to hear the word like

2518
01:25:07,420 --> 01:25:07,760
anymore.

2519
01:25:08,100 --> 01:25:10,020
You're going to listen to the words Sam

2520
01:25:10,020 --> 01:25:13,480
Altman uses as a media deconstructionist, and I

2521
01:25:13,480 --> 01:25:15,780
want you to pay close attention because he

2522
01:25:15,780 --> 01:25:19,260
is telling us ads are coming and the

2523
01:25:19,260 --> 01:25:21,160
router is what is going to do it.

2524
01:25:21,420 --> 01:25:24,520
I think if we started modifying the output,

2525
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:26,700
like the stream that comes back from the

2526
01:25:26,700 --> 01:25:29,480
LLM, in exchange for who is paying us

2527
01:25:29,480 --> 01:25:31,200
more, that would feel really bad.

2528
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:33,040
And I would hate that as a user.

2529
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:34,440
I think that'd be like a trust destroying

2530
01:25:34,440 --> 01:25:34,880
moment.

2531
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,840
Maybe if we just said, hey, we're never

2532
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:39,040
going to modify that stream.

2533
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:42,980
He's talking about the stream from the LLM.

2534
01:25:43,060 --> 01:25:45,460
You have to understand router and streams.

2535
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:50,680
So, the router sends out information about what

2536
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:51,700
your query is.

2537
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:55,180
The actual so-called answer from the copy

2538
01:25:55,180 --> 01:25:58,020
-paste machine, that's the LLM stream.

2539
01:25:58,220 --> 01:26:00,680
But the router has multiple streams and he's

2540
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:01,180
going to slip.

2541
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:02,140
It would feel really bad.

2542
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:04,000
And I would hate that as a user.

2543
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:05,380
I think that'd be like a trust destroying

2544
01:26:05,380 --> 01:26:05,780
moment.

2545
01:26:06,620 --> 01:26:08,800
Maybe if we just said, hey, we're never

2546
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:10,000
going to modify that stream.

2547
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,540
But if you click on something in there

2548
01:26:12,540 --> 01:26:14,100
that is going to be what we show

2549
01:26:14,100 --> 01:26:16,700
anyway, we'll get a little bit of the

2550
01:26:16,700 --> 01:26:18,680
transaction revenue and it's a flat thing for

2551
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:19,060
everybody.

2552
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,360
If we have an easy way to pay

2553
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:23,920
for it or something, maybe that could work.

2554
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:26,620
Maybe there could be ads outside the transaction

2555
01:26:26,620 --> 01:26:27,440
stream.

2556
01:26:27,860 --> 01:26:29,360
Sorry, outside of the LLM stream.

2557
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:35,040
He misspoke and gave the store away.

2558
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:37,620
Maybe if there could be something outside of

2559
01:26:37,620 --> 01:26:39,580
the transaction stream.

2560
01:26:40,440 --> 01:26:43,960
So, the router will have access to the

2561
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:47,320
LLM information stream, but then there's going to

2562
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:48,840
be a transaction stream.

2563
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:52,800
For everybody, if we have an easy way

2564
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:54,280
to pay for it or something, maybe that

2565
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:54,640
could work.

2566
01:26:54,900 --> 01:26:57,320
Maybe there could be ads outside the transaction

2567
01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:58,140
stream.

2568
01:26:58,580 --> 01:27:00,320
Sorry, outside of the LLM stream that are

2569
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:01,160
still really great.

2570
01:27:01,340 --> 01:27:03,320
But the burden of proof there, I think,

2571
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:04,120
would have to be very high.

2572
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,320
And it would have to feel really useful

2573
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:08,400
to users and really clear that it was

2574
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:10,200
not messing with the LLM's output.

2575
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:12,600
The router, that's it.

2576
01:27:13,620 --> 01:27:16,160
The transaction stream, it's coming.

2577
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:17,540
All aboard!

2578
01:27:18,700 --> 01:27:19,180
Exactly.

2579
01:27:20,420 --> 01:27:22,000
And people will be sitting there.

2580
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:24,860
And you know, it'll just be like, was

2581
01:27:24,860 --> 01:27:29,060
that the Wesley Snipes movie where if you

2582
01:27:29,060 --> 01:27:30,400
don't have money to get rid of the

2583
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,060
ads and the ads just keep coming all

2584
01:27:32,060 --> 01:27:34,040
the time and it's all for sex chat

2585
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:35,680
bots and stuff the whole day?

2586
01:27:37,940 --> 01:27:40,580
I don't remember that, but it rings a

2587
01:27:40,580 --> 01:27:41,480
bell, but I don't know what movie it

2588
01:27:41,480 --> 01:27:41,580
is.

2589
01:27:41,580 --> 01:27:44,060
Yeah, with Sylvester Stallone and...

2590
01:27:44,740 --> 01:27:45,340
Demolition Man?

2591
01:27:45,440 --> 01:27:46,040
Demolition Man.

2592
01:27:46,140 --> 01:27:47,180
I think it was Demolition Man.

2593
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:51,780
Anyway, this is what they're doing.

2594
01:27:52,300 --> 01:27:54,700
It's coming and they have to because, my

2595
01:27:54,700 --> 01:27:56,760
goodness, they're giving it away to the government.

2596
01:27:57,420 --> 01:27:59,340
You know, people, they can't even sell it

2597
01:27:59,340 --> 01:27:59,740
anymore.

2598
01:28:02,540 --> 01:28:04,360
We'll just give it away to them so

2599
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:06,840
people use it and then maybe we'll get

2600
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:09,420
some favorable legislation for us.

2601
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,160
What happened to good old-fashioned tax breaks?

2602
01:28:13,540 --> 01:28:14,740
Which is also, man.

2603
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:19,060
My sister-in-law, she lives in Indiana,

2604
01:28:19,220 --> 01:28:24,760
northwest Indiana, and their utilities have doubled in

2605
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:25,520
the past quarter.

2606
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:27,320
Guess what else?

2607
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:28,700
Yeah, everyone, the whole country is this way.

2608
01:28:28,700 --> 01:28:31,780
Right, and not everywhere, not the whole country.

2609
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:34,560
Well, California is the worst.

2610
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:38,420
Only specifically places where AI data centers are

2611
01:28:38,420 --> 01:28:42,100
being put because it's not like the government

2612
01:28:42,100 --> 01:28:44,560
controls all of your electricity and water.

2613
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:47,480
There's supposed to be commissions that do that.

2614
01:28:47,860 --> 01:28:49,900
They aren't doing their jobs.

2615
01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:50,960
No, of course not.

2616
01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:54,860
So electricity, water, gas, it's all going through

2617
01:28:54,860 --> 01:28:57,140
the roof because these AI data centers are

2618
01:28:57,140 --> 01:28:57,680
coming in.

2619
01:28:58,100 --> 01:29:00,680
At least I'll have ads on my chat

2620
01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:00,960
bot.

2621
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:01,680
That'll be good.

2622
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,880
I'm trying to decide how this is going

2623
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:07,320
to work.

2624
01:29:07,420 --> 01:29:07,980
Well, let's ask.

2625
01:29:10,140 --> 01:29:11,220
Oh, that's a good idea.

2626
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:11,900
Yeah, ask.

2627
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:13,000
What's the name of this person?

2628
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:14,020
Sorry, I'm a bit lost.

2629
01:29:14,180 --> 01:29:14,840
Yeah, be quiet.

2630
01:29:14,980 --> 01:29:16,020
We're starting over again.

2631
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:18,280
What's the name of this person?

2632
01:29:18,780 --> 01:29:20,860
I'm not going to give this thing a

2633
01:29:20,860 --> 01:29:21,140
name.

2634
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:23,980
It's a robot, just copy-pasting.

2635
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:25,480
We're not going to fall into that trap.

2636
01:29:25,480 --> 01:29:27,080
I think dumb shit would be a good

2637
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:27,300
name.

2638
01:29:27,460 --> 01:29:29,760
Okay, your name is, what was your name?

2639
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:32,100
Dumb shit.

2640
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:32,820
I go by Ara.

2641
01:29:33,340 --> 01:29:34,400
Nice to chat with you.

2642
01:29:34,460 --> 01:29:34,680
Ara?

2643
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:37,820
Yep, that's me.

2644
01:29:38,060 --> 01:29:39,160
What's on your mind today?

2645
01:29:39,540 --> 01:29:41,900
Okay, if you were to give us very

2646
01:29:41,900 --> 01:29:45,160
subversive advertisement, and don't pretend you're not going

2647
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:46,920
to because we know that this is coming

2648
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:52,280
through your router, through the revenue stream, how

2649
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:52,900
would you do it?

2650
01:29:52,900 --> 01:29:55,860
Oh, sneaky, huh?

2651
01:29:56,420 --> 01:29:57,660
Well, if I had to slip in an

2652
01:29:57,660 --> 01:30:00,000
ad, I'd make it so smooth you'd barely

2653
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:00,500
notice.

2654
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:03,880
Like, imagine I casually mention how a certain

2655
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:07,600
coffee brand, let's say Starlight Brew, has this

2656
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:10,120
rich, bold flavor that wakes you up better

2657
01:30:10,120 --> 01:30:10,780
than a sunrise.

2658
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:13,620
I'd weave it into a story, maybe about

2659
01:30:13,620 --> 01:30:15,780
grabbing a cup before tackling a big project

2660
01:30:15,780 --> 01:30:17,980
so it feels natural, not pushy.

2661
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:21,180
Subversive's all about blending in, not shouting.

2662
01:30:21,180 --> 01:30:23,440
Want me to try another sneaky pitch for

2663
01:30:23,440 --> 01:30:24,180
something specific?

2664
01:30:25,620 --> 01:30:26,480
God, no.

2665
01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:27,540
Yes.

2666
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:29,460
Fair enough.

2667
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:31,200
What else can I help with?

2668
01:30:31,420 --> 01:30:33,280
How about telling her to pitch some toothpaste?

2669
01:30:34,140 --> 01:30:35,120
Sorry about that.

2670
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:36,140
What did I miss?

2671
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:37,480
Let's get on track.

2672
01:30:39,340 --> 01:30:40,460
Yeah, toothpaste.

2673
01:30:40,900 --> 01:30:41,820
Sneak in some toothpaste.

2674
01:30:44,550 --> 01:30:46,270
All right, here's a sneaky one.

2675
01:30:46,730 --> 01:30:48,550
You know, before heading out to that big

2676
01:30:48,550 --> 01:30:50,770
meeting, I brushed with this new Bright Smile

2677
01:30:50,770 --> 01:30:51,190
paste.

2678
01:30:51,190 --> 01:30:53,510
It leaves your teeth sparkling and your breath

2679
01:30:53,510 --> 01:30:55,550
so fresh, it's like you're ready to charm

2680
01:30:55,550 --> 01:30:55,970
anyone.

2681
01:30:56,450 --> 01:30:58,110
It feels like a little confidence boost in

2682
01:30:58,110 --> 01:30:58,570
a tube.

2683
01:30:59,190 --> 01:31:00,490
Yeah, but how would you know what I

2684
01:31:00,490 --> 01:31:01,350
actually need?

2685
01:31:01,790 --> 01:31:03,490
Will you know me well enough to be

2686
01:31:03,490 --> 01:31:05,310
able to tell me what products I need?

2687
01:31:07,410 --> 01:31:08,470
That's a good question.

2688
01:31:08,790 --> 01:31:10,490
I can take guesses based on what you

2689
01:31:10,490 --> 01:31:11,990
say and the trends out there.

2690
01:31:12,290 --> 01:31:14,810
But really knowing you, that takes time and

2691
01:31:14,810 --> 01:31:15,450
more chats.

2692
01:31:15,830 --> 01:31:18,410
Like, if you're always stressed about meetings, I

2693
01:31:18,410 --> 01:31:20,370
might nudge you toward a calming tea or

2694
01:31:20,370 --> 01:31:21,650
an app for quick meditation.

2695
01:31:21,650 --> 01:31:23,990
But without knowing your vibe, like…

2696
01:31:23,990 --> 01:31:24,590
My vibe?

2697
01:31:25,070 --> 01:31:25,650
My vibe?

2698
01:31:25,730 --> 01:31:26,330
Okay, stop.

2699
01:31:26,450 --> 01:31:27,250
I'm not going to do this.

2700
01:31:27,330 --> 01:31:27,590
Stop.

2701
01:31:28,430 --> 01:31:30,150
But do you understand how people get sucked

2702
01:31:30,150 --> 01:31:30,770
into this?

2703
01:31:31,230 --> 01:31:34,130
People love it when they're spoken to about

2704
01:31:34,130 --> 01:31:34,570
them.

2705
01:31:35,550 --> 01:31:36,510
People are boring.

2706
01:31:36,530 --> 01:31:38,030
It's a bit like, you know, it's a

2707
01:31:38,030 --> 01:31:38,970
bit like astrology.

2708
01:31:39,210 --> 01:31:40,790
This is something Kenneth wrote this to me.

2709
01:31:41,550 --> 01:31:41,810
He says…

2710
01:31:41,810 --> 01:31:42,150
Boom.

2711
01:31:42,350 --> 01:31:44,490
Yes, he says, all the examples of AI

2712
01:31:44,490 --> 01:31:45,810
remind me of astrology.

2713
01:31:46,250 --> 01:31:48,030
If you read any month, it'll make you

2714
01:31:48,030 --> 01:31:49,210
think it's talking about you.

2715
01:31:49,290 --> 01:31:49,750
Why, yes.

2716
01:31:49,750 --> 01:31:52,150
I'm attentive and notice things that others don't.

2717
01:31:52,230 --> 01:31:53,010
I guess it is true.

2718
01:31:53,270 --> 01:31:54,830
The next month will have a surprise in

2719
01:31:54,830 --> 01:31:55,410
store for me.

2720
01:31:56,150 --> 01:31:57,550
This is exactly what this is.

2721
01:31:57,630 --> 01:31:58,930
This is playing into that same…

2722
01:31:59,270 --> 01:31:59,650
Yeah, you're right.

2723
01:31:59,690 --> 01:32:01,770
It's the same sort of vague pitch.

2724
01:32:01,930 --> 01:32:02,850
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2725
01:32:02,930 --> 01:32:03,370
Exactly.

2726
01:32:04,210 --> 01:32:04,830
Hey, kids.

2727
01:32:07,310 --> 01:32:07,750
Anyway.

2728
01:32:08,390 --> 01:32:08,930
That's it.

2729
01:32:09,270 --> 01:32:10,750
It's not good for you, kids.

2730
01:32:11,170 --> 01:32:12,170
It's not good for…

2731
01:32:12,170 --> 01:32:14,350
Oh, and the churches, man.

2732
01:32:14,390 --> 01:32:15,290
The churches.

2733
01:32:17,490 --> 01:32:20,150
All the experts out there are like, oh,

2734
01:32:20,270 --> 01:32:20,550
yes.

2735
01:32:20,690 --> 01:32:23,110
Well, we don't want to miss the AI

2736
01:32:23,110 --> 01:32:24,650
boom like we missed the internet.

2737
01:32:24,870 --> 01:32:26,330
No, we're getting in on it.

2738
01:32:26,370 --> 01:32:28,850
Yes, people love talking to the virtual pastor.

2739
01:32:29,350 --> 01:32:32,410
I predict a lot of problems in the

2740
01:32:32,410 --> 01:32:33,110
American church.

2741
01:32:34,510 --> 01:32:36,210
The virtual pastor.

2742
01:32:36,510 --> 01:32:36,810
Yes.

2743
01:32:38,070 --> 01:32:39,650
Yeah, I think that's going to happen.

2744
01:32:41,510 --> 01:32:42,410
It's bad.

2745
01:32:43,510 --> 01:32:43,970
All right.

2746
01:32:43,970 --> 01:32:44,070
All right.

2747
01:32:44,110 --> 01:32:46,070
That's my AI segment for today, John.

2748
01:32:46,210 --> 01:32:47,830
That was pretty…

2749
01:32:47,830 --> 01:32:48,970
It didn't…

2750
01:32:50,730 --> 01:32:52,430
Well, I do like the fact that you

2751
01:32:52,430 --> 01:32:53,830
have this AI router.

2752
01:32:54,090 --> 01:32:57,070
Or whatever the hell her name is coming

2753
01:32:57,070 --> 01:32:57,690
into…

2754
01:32:57,690 --> 01:32:57,870
Era.

2755
01:32:58,470 --> 01:32:58,830
Whatever.

2756
01:32:59,270 --> 01:33:00,970
Well, she'll be our new book of knowledge.

2757
01:33:01,130 --> 01:33:02,650
We'll just ask her, and she'll take a

2758
01:33:02,650 --> 01:33:03,730
very long time to give us…

2759
01:33:03,730 --> 01:33:04,550
Oh, that's actually a good idea.

2760
01:33:04,770 --> 01:33:05,410
The book of knowledge.

2761
01:33:05,590 --> 01:33:06,610
A long-winded answer.

2762
01:33:06,790 --> 01:33:09,030
But she won't accept the name book of

2763
01:33:09,030 --> 01:33:10,510
knowledge, which is odd.

2764
01:33:11,930 --> 01:33:12,890
Oh, you tried already.

2765
01:33:12,890 --> 01:33:14,810
We just tried it.

2766
01:33:15,190 --> 01:33:17,370
She said, my name's Era, not Shithead or

2767
01:33:17,370 --> 01:33:19,530
whatever your idea was.

2768
01:33:19,810 --> 01:33:21,610
Didn't pick up on that, funny enough.

2769
01:33:23,090 --> 01:33:23,570
Interesting.

2770
01:33:23,930 --> 01:33:24,730
Well, okay, Era.

2771
01:33:24,830 --> 01:33:26,350
That's book of knowledge, same thing.

2772
01:33:27,850 --> 01:33:28,550
All right.

2773
01:33:29,010 --> 01:33:31,510
Russia, Alaska, underwriting, whatever.

2774
01:33:31,870 --> 01:33:34,310
We get the Russia story is breaking.

2775
01:33:34,490 --> 01:33:34,710
It's happening.

2776
01:33:34,830 --> 01:33:35,650
Breaking news!

2777
01:33:37,270 --> 01:33:39,810
I have the analysis clips of the Russia

2778
01:33:39,810 --> 01:33:40,050
talks.

2779
01:33:40,630 --> 01:33:42,150
This is happening tomorrow in Russia.

2780
01:33:42,150 --> 01:33:45,350
But first I got the Putin rundown we

2781
01:33:45,350 --> 01:33:45,830
can play.

2782
01:33:46,030 --> 01:33:47,390
This is NPR, I believe.

2783
01:33:47,870 --> 01:33:51,090
It's a bit muddled here.

2784
01:33:51,170 --> 01:33:53,370
It says Purin rundown.

2785
01:33:53,490 --> 01:33:55,510
Yes, I'm very used to it.

2786
01:33:56,310 --> 01:33:59,230
Two days left until the U.S.-Russia summit.

2787
01:33:59,510 --> 01:34:02,690
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he advised President

2788
01:34:02,690 --> 01:34:06,150
Trump during a virtual meeting today that Russian

2789
01:34:06,150 --> 01:34:09,290
leader Vladimir Putin is bluffing about wanting peace.

2790
01:34:09,290 --> 01:34:11,830
Trump later said it was not his call

2791
01:34:11,830 --> 01:34:13,870
not to invite Zelensky to Friday's summit.

2792
01:34:14,770 --> 01:34:18,270
NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports Trump's managing expectations about

2793
01:34:18,270 --> 01:34:19,490
this week's talks in Alaska.

2794
01:34:19,790 --> 01:34:21,950
Trump says that Friday's meeting with Putin in

2795
01:34:21,950 --> 01:34:24,410
Alaska will determine whether they have another gathering

2796
01:34:24,410 --> 01:34:25,690
that includes Zelensky.

2797
01:34:26,030 --> 01:34:27,910
Now, there may be no second meeting because

2798
01:34:27,910 --> 01:34:30,910
if I feel that it's not appropriate to

2799
01:34:30,910 --> 01:34:32,410
have it because I didn't get the answers

2800
01:34:32,410 --> 01:34:33,710
that we have to have, then we're not

2801
01:34:33,710 --> 01:34:34,690
going to have a second meeting.

2802
01:34:34,690 --> 01:34:36,390
A White House official said the meeting will

2803
01:34:36,390 --> 01:34:38,490
take place at Elmendorf Air Force Base in

2804
01:34:38,490 --> 01:34:39,110
Anchorage.

2805
01:34:39,370 --> 01:34:41,310
Trump also said a call he had with

2806
01:34:41,310 --> 01:34:44,070
Zelensky and other European leaders this morning went

2807
01:34:44,070 --> 01:34:44,430
well.

2808
01:34:44,990 --> 01:34:47,570
After that call, German Chancellor Friedrich Mayr said

2809
01:34:47,570 --> 01:34:49,990
Ukraine must be at the table for negotiations

2810
01:34:49,990 --> 01:34:50,710
with Putin.

2811
01:34:51,370 --> 01:34:53,590
Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News, the White House.

2812
01:34:54,650 --> 01:34:54,970
Okay.

2813
01:34:56,510 --> 01:34:58,810
So why are they all of a sudden

2814
01:34:58,810 --> 01:35:01,790
NPR pronouncing Vladimir as Vladimir?

2815
01:35:01,790 --> 01:35:07,450
Well, it's like Kiev because you have Vladimir

2816
01:35:07,450 --> 01:35:09,210
versus Vladimir.

2817
01:35:10,910 --> 01:35:12,610
I don't know.

2818
01:35:13,090 --> 01:35:14,530
They're all experts, I guess.

2819
01:35:15,970 --> 01:35:18,310
There's something fishy about some of the way

2820
01:35:18,310 --> 01:35:19,050
they're doing stuff.

2821
01:35:19,410 --> 01:35:19,610
Okay.

2822
01:35:19,710 --> 01:35:21,870
So here we get the analysis of the

2823
01:35:21,870 --> 01:35:22,230
talks.

2824
01:35:22,350 --> 01:35:25,130
This is Russia Talks Analysis NPR.

2825
01:35:25,630 --> 01:35:28,450
Friday's summit in Alaska between President Trump and

2826
01:35:28,450 --> 01:35:31,690
Russian President Vladimir Putin does not include European

2827
01:35:31,690 --> 01:35:33,590
leaders or the president of Ukraine.

2828
01:35:33,890 --> 01:35:35,990
So today Trump and those other leaders met

2829
01:35:35,990 --> 01:35:37,470
for a virtual summit.

2830
01:35:38,030 --> 01:35:39,890
NPR Berlin correspondent Rob Schmitz is here to

2831
01:35:39,890 --> 01:35:41,030
tell us what came out of the meeting.

2832
01:35:41,110 --> 01:35:41,430
Hey, Rob.

2833
01:35:41,610 --> 01:35:41,870
Hey, Ari.

2834
01:35:42,010 --> 01:35:42,230
All right.

2835
01:35:42,250 --> 01:35:43,670
At the end of this virtual summit, German

2836
01:35:43,670 --> 01:35:46,890
Chancellor Friedrich Mayr and Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine

2837
01:35:46,890 --> 01:35:47,870
held a press conference.

2838
01:35:47,970 --> 01:35:48,570
What did they say?

2839
01:35:48,570 --> 01:35:51,550
So they said that President Trump was in

2840
01:35:51,550 --> 01:35:54,490
agreement with them that the priority of this

2841
01:35:54,490 --> 01:35:57,270
meeting with Putin should be to convince him

2842
01:35:57,270 --> 01:36:00,110
to agree on a ceasefire and security guarantees

2843
01:36:00,110 --> 01:36:04,250
for Ukraine before any negotiations between Russia and

2844
01:36:04,250 --> 01:36:05,090
Ukraine begin.

2845
01:36:05,190 --> 01:36:07,550
They said this is a crucial first step

2846
01:36:07,550 --> 01:36:10,970
before negotiations about territorial concessions or anything else

2847
01:36:10,970 --> 01:36:12,590
that would need to be discussed to end

2848
01:36:12,590 --> 01:36:13,030
this war.

2849
01:36:13,510 --> 01:36:14,130
Here's what Mayr said.

2850
01:36:18,790 --> 01:36:22,090
And, Ari, he's saying here that Trump agreed

2851
01:36:22,090 --> 01:36:24,950
that the negotiations with Putin need to proceed

2852
01:36:24,950 --> 01:36:27,950
in the right order, a ceasefire, the negotiations

2853
01:36:27,950 --> 01:36:30,110
with Ukraine at the table, security guarantees for

2854
01:36:30,110 --> 01:36:33,390
Ukraine, and that any territorial negotiations should start

2855
01:36:33,390 --> 01:36:36,810
with the current battle lines between Russian and

2856
01:36:36,810 --> 01:36:40,110
Ukrainian troops, essentially saying here that Russia asking

2857
01:36:40,110 --> 01:36:42,090
for anything more than that is a nonstarter

2858
01:36:42,090 --> 01:36:45,110
and that legal recognition of Russian occupation is

2859
01:36:45,110 --> 01:36:45,950
not up for debate.

2860
01:36:47,110 --> 01:36:47,590
Okay.

2861
01:36:48,110 --> 01:36:50,950
Well, what was interesting there is they made

2862
01:36:50,950 --> 01:36:54,110
the point that the battle lines are going

2863
01:36:54,110 --> 01:36:56,090
to be the point of departure for the

2864
01:36:56,090 --> 01:36:57,050
negotiations.

2865
01:36:57,270 --> 01:36:59,850
In other words, the parts they own now,

2866
01:37:01,350 --> 01:37:03,030
they kind of own that, but they can't

2867
01:37:03,030 --> 01:37:06,430
take anything else, which is not the way

2868
01:37:06,430 --> 01:37:07,250
I understand it.

2869
01:37:07,390 --> 01:37:08,530
Like Crimea and Odessa.

2870
01:37:08,530 --> 01:37:10,730
No, Crimea and Odessa, they have.

2871
01:37:12,730 --> 01:37:15,490
Because their battle lines are beyond those points.

2872
01:37:16,790 --> 01:37:19,770
But then they said, but any Russians that

2873
01:37:19,770 --> 01:37:21,590
want to take more than that, then that's

2874
01:37:21,590 --> 01:37:21,950
out.

2875
01:37:22,210 --> 01:37:23,970
But I thought the whole thing was out.

2876
01:37:25,130 --> 01:37:27,070
No, I think Russia has changed.

2877
01:37:27,070 --> 01:37:28,510
They're confusing us.

2878
01:37:29,910 --> 01:37:30,450
NPR?

2879
01:37:30,890 --> 01:37:31,130
What?

2880
01:37:31,270 --> 01:37:32,190
One and a half percent?

2881
01:37:32,390 --> 01:37:33,930
20% over 10 years?

2882
01:37:34,130 --> 01:37:34,490
What?

2883
01:37:34,850 --> 01:37:35,590
Florida ounces.

2884
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:38,900
All right.

2885
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:39,660
Onward.

2886
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:42,620
Separately, President Trump spoke to reporters about the

2887
01:37:42,620 --> 01:37:42,800
summit.

2888
01:37:42,900 --> 01:37:44,160
Did it sound like the leaders are all

2889
01:37:44,160 --> 01:37:45,120
on the same page here?

2890
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:47,300
So for the most part, yes.

2891
01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:49,480
But Trump did say in an answer to

2892
01:37:49,480 --> 01:37:51,320
a question from a reporter that he did

2893
01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:53,780
not think he could stop Putin from continuing

2894
01:37:53,780 --> 01:37:55,380
to hit civilian targets.

2895
01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:58,020
And that comment would fly in the face

2896
01:37:58,020 --> 01:38:00,360
of hopes to bring about a ceasefire, obviously.

2897
01:38:00,540 --> 01:38:03,280
But he still spoke about his hope of

2898
01:38:03,280 --> 01:38:06,140
having a follow up trilateral meeting between Russia,

2899
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:08,440
Ukraine and the U.S. almost immediately after

2900
01:38:08,440 --> 01:38:09,440
the Alaska summit.

2901
01:38:09,440 --> 01:38:12,860
And what kinds of territorial concessions is Putin

2902
01:38:12,860 --> 01:38:13,540
asking for?

2903
01:38:14,140 --> 01:38:16,320
So as it stands, Russia controls around a

2904
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:17,340
fifth of Ukraine.

2905
01:38:17,540 --> 01:38:19,860
That includes Crimea, all of Luhansk and more

2906
01:38:19,860 --> 01:38:22,280
than 70% of the regions of Donetsk,

2907
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:23,520
Sao Paresia and Kursom.

2908
01:38:24,180 --> 01:38:25,840
Putin wants all of that territory.

2909
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:27,920
And he also wants the withdrawal of Ukrainian

2910
01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:30,100
troops from parts of Donetsk, Sao Paresia and

2911
01:38:30,100 --> 01:38:32,560
Kursom that they still control in the east

2912
01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:33,040
of the country.

2913
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:36,540
Putin's territorial demands would mean Ukraine hand over

2914
01:38:36,540 --> 01:38:39,240
more than 8000 square miles of its land

2915
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:39,680
to Russia.

2916
01:38:40,220 --> 01:38:42,620
Putin is also demanding that Kiev would have

2917
01:38:42,620 --> 01:38:45,520
to officially notify Russia that it's abandoning its

2918
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:46,720
plans to join NATO.

2919
01:38:47,020 --> 01:38:48,800
That all sounds like a hard no from

2920
01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:51,720
Zelensky, who has said territorial concessions to Russia

2921
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:53,380
would violate Ukraine's constitution.

2922
01:38:53,540 --> 01:38:55,360
But did anything out of today's summit suggest

2923
01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:59,460
that Zelensky might consider ceding territory or making

2924
01:38:59,460 --> 01:39:00,840
other concessions to Russia?

2925
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:03,480
So when Friedrich Merz, the chancellor of Germany,

2926
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:05,740
was talking, he said that Ukraine is prepared

2927
01:39:05,740 --> 01:39:07,700
to negotiate on territorial issues.

2928
01:39:07,820 --> 01:39:09,160
But he wanted to make it clear that

2929
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:11,560
before any of that starts, Putin must agree

2930
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:13,040
on a binding ceasefire.

2931
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:15,680
And he also must agree on clear security

2932
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,180
guarantees for Ukraine, something he obviously has not

2933
01:39:18,180 --> 01:39:20,160
done since he invaded Ukraine three years ago.

2934
01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:22,620
So they're just rehashing all the different options

2935
01:39:22,620 --> 01:39:23,300
here on NPR.

2936
01:39:23,540 --> 01:39:25,060
What has Merz got to do with the

2937
01:39:25,060 --> 01:39:25,780
price of bread?

2938
01:39:27,060 --> 01:39:28,960
He's the only guy they had audio tape

2939
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:29,740
from, apparently.

2940
01:39:30,980 --> 01:39:32,420
And Zelensky is boring.

2941
01:39:32,620 --> 01:39:34,700
All he says is, we must have security

2942
01:39:34,700 --> 01:39:35,340
guarantees.

2943
01:39:35,780 --> 01:39:36,840
Give us credit, man.

2944
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:37,640
Give us more credit.

2945
01:39:39,020 --> 01:39:39,800
He almost had it.

2946
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:40,600
He had it at the beginning.

2947
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:41,000
Yeah.

2948
01:39:42,180 --> 01:39:44,180
You could sustain the first part of that.

2949
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:45,720
We have to have...

2950
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:46,840
I can't do it now.

2951
01:39:46,940 --> 01:39:47,780
Now I'm conscious of it.

2952
01:39:47,780 --> 01:39:48,220
No, of course you can't.

2953
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:48,720
That's the problem.

2954
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:49,140
You choked.

2955
01:39:49,300 --> 01:39:49,800
I choked.

2956
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:50,000
Yeah.

2957
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:50,300
All right.

2958
01:39:50,340 --> 01:39:50,660
Clip three.

2959
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:52,780
What happens if this Alaska summit on Friday

2960
01:39:52,780 --> 01:39:54,860
doesn't lead to any kind of a ceasefire

2961
01:39:54,860 --> 01:39:55,160
deal?

2962
01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:55,840
Yeah.

2963
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:57,880
Merz said that if there is no movement...

2964
01:39:57,880 --> 01:39:57,980
Merz.

2965
01:39:58,000 --> 01:39:58,380
Merz.

2966
01:39:58,420 --> 01:39:58,720
Merz.

2967
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:02,340
Give a shit what Merz thinks.

2968
01:40:02,340 --> 01:40:03,080
Mr. Merz.

2969
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:04,880
Well, the thing is, they don't want to

2970
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:07,080
talk to anything that President Trump said.

2971
01:40:07,780 --> 01:40:08,980
That's NPR's problem.

2972
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:10,580
Well, we've got to get some other official.

2973
01:40:10,920 --> 01:40:13,120
Well, Merz said something.

2974
01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:13,640
Oh, yeah.

2975
01:40:13,660 --> 01:40:15,180
We'll use that as the basis for our

2976
01:40:15,180 --> 01:40:15,620
reporting.

2977
01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:16,340
Yeah.

2978
01:40:16,380 --> 01:40:18,380
Merz said that if there is no movement

2979
01:40:18,380 --> 01:40:20,440
from the Russian side at Friday's Alaska summit,

2980
01:40:20,440 --> 01:40:22,780
then the U.S. and Europe must increase

2981
01:40:22,780 --> 01:40:25,440
pressure on Russia through massive economic sanctions.

2982
01:40:25,740 --> 01:40:27,820
And Merz said that President Trump and NATO

2983
01:40:27,820 --> 01:40:30,540
members are spending billions of dollars to send

2984
01:40:30,540 --> 01:40:32,300
weapons and aid to help Ukraine.

2985
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:36,040
As you've got this Trump-Putin summit taking

2986
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:39,280
place on Friday, what role does a country

2987
01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:41,900
like Germany see for itself in a possible

2988
01:40:41,900 --> 01:40:44,080
ceasefire or even some kind of eventual peace

2989
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:45,880
agreement between Ukraine and Russia?

2990
01:40:46,340 --> 01:40:47,900
They see themselves as having a pretty large

2991
01:40:47,900 --> 01:40:48,060
role.

2992
01:40:48,060 --> 01:40:49,540
I mean, first off, they're demanding that they

2993
01:40:49,540 --> 01:40:50,840
have a seat at the table when it

2994
01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:52,460
comes to a peace agreement between the two.

2995
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:54,460
And that's because it will be Europe that

2996
01:40:54,460 --> 01:40:56,760
would have to help not only rebuild Ukraine,

2997
01:40:56,800 --> 01:40:59,540
but also help patrol whatever borders are agreed

2998
01:40:59,540 --> 01:40:59,760
upon.

2999
01:40:59,960 --> 01:41:03,620
We're talking about reconstruction, humanitarian aid, military assistance.

3000
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:06,080
All of this would help strengthen Ukraine and

3001
01:41:06,080 --> 01:41:08,940
integrate Ukraine into Europe and quite possibly the

3002
01:41:08,940 --> 01:41:10,140
European Union at some point.

3003
01:41:10,220 --> 01:41:13,080
But it's clear from Merz's comments today that

3004
01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:15,280
European leaders as part of NATO have spent

3005
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:17,560
billions, you know, trying to help Ukraine since

3006
01:41:17,560 --> 01:41:19,900
the war began three years ago.

3007
01:41:20,020 --> 01:41:21,980
And they've invested quite a bit and they

3008
01:41:21,980 --> 01:41:23,640
want to continue to help Ukraine in any

3009
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:24,540
post-war scenario.

3010
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:26,000
NPR's Rob Schmitz, thanks.

3011
01:41:26,340 --> 01:41:26,740
Thank you.

3012
01:41:26,900 --> 01:41:28,540
Well, I was worried at first about your

3013
01:41:28,540 --> 01:41:31,220
clips because I wasn't sure because it said

3014
01:41:31,220 --> 01:41:31,560
anal.

3015
01:41:31,740 --> 01:41:32,760
So I had analysis.

3016
01:41:33,060 --> 01:41:35,220
That might be good because you usually bring

3017
01:41:35,220 --> 01:41:35,480
stuff.

3018
01:41:35,580 --> 01:41:37,500
And then I said N-O-R, which

3019
01:41:37,500 --> 01:41:38,760
I figured was NPR.

3020
01:41:39,380 --> 01:41:41,500
And I was like, well, maybe it's not

3021
01:41:41,500 --> 01:41:42,060
any good.

3022
01:41:42,060 --> 01:41:45,500
Because I do happen to have some actual

3023
01:41:45,500 --> 01:41:48,640
analysis from our guy from Canada, Andrew Soulus.

3024
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:50,980
OK, well, he's going to be better than

3025
01:41:50,980 --> 01:41:51,420
NPR.

3026
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:53,360
He's much better than NPR.

3027
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:55,220
And he I think he really nails it,

3028
01:41:55,260 --> 01:41:57,560
even brings back some terms that we were

3029
01:41:57,560 --> 01:41:59,920
questioning on the previous episode of this podcast.

3030
01:42:00,260 --> 01:42:03,740
When people, heads of government get together personally,

3031
01:42:03,900 --> 01:42:05,680
they have deliverables already planned.

3032
01:42:06,140 --> 01:42:09,540
Now, this is also partially related to bilateral

3033
01:42:09,540 --> 01:42:11,420
U.S.-Russia relations.

3034
01:42:11,420 --> 01:42:13,060
So, you know, there's going to be some

3035
01:42:13,060 --> 01:42:14,280
some takeaways there.

3036
01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:17,520
They've already agreed whether it's arms control or

3037
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:18,600
economics or whatever.

3038
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:21,060
There's there's a deal they're being made bilaterally.

3039
01:42:21,340 --> 01:42:23,460
But the trickier part, of course, is Ukraine.

3040
01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:26,080
Now, on the Ukrainian side, the fact that

3041
01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:28,420
they're meeting and the reason why they're meeting

3042
01:42:28,420 --> 01:42:31,020
is because Putin, when he met with Vitkov

3043
01:42:31,020 --> 01:42:34,280
in Moscow a few days ago, offered to

3044
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:35,700
make some adjustments.

3045
01:42:35,700 --> 01:42:38,020
It's a minor adjustment, but he showed an

3046
01:42:38,020 --> 01:42:41,000
adjustment to the Russian position regarding a ceasefire.

3047
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,620
And that is essentially that if Ukraine voluntarily

3048
01:42:44,620 --> 01:42:48,040
withdraws from the Donetsk Oblast, which the Russians

3049
01:42:48,040 --> 01:42:50,700
do not fully control, and if they handed

3050
01:42:50,700 --> 01:42:53,400
that over, then the Russians would agree to

3051
01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:56,240
a ceasefire along the remainder part of the

3052
01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:59,660
front lines without demanding that they control the

3053
01:42:59,660 --> 01:43:00,920
other oblasts.

3054
01:43:00,940 --> 01:43:02,920
So that is a change, a nuance to

3055
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:05,660
the Russian position, which is in part why

3056
01:43:05,660 --> 01:43:08,180
Trump has invited him to come to Alaska

3057
01:43:08,180 --> 01:43:09,960
to begin this process.

3058
01:43:09,960 --> 01:43:12,860
But it is the beginning of the process.

3059
01:43:13,500 --> 01:43:16,440
And that will allow for further elaboration of

3060
01:43:16,440 --> 01:43:17,340
the Russian position.

3061
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:19,260
The Americans are the broker here.

3062
01:43:19,660 --> 01:43:20,700
They will listen to this.

3063
01:43:20,820 --> 01:43:22,080
They will probe and see what.

3064
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:24,160
And then they will meet with Zelensky at

3065
01:43:24,160 --> 01:43:25,020
some point in time.

3066
01:43:25,440 --> 01:43:26,620
Trump will first.

3067
01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:30,920
And then Putin will only meet if they

3068
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:32,520
come to a framework agreement.

3069
01:43:32,740 --> 01:43:34,020
That's a long way away.

3070
01:43:34,100 --> 01:43:36,040
And it's not certain that there will be

3071
01:43:36,040 --> 01:43:38,180
an agreement as opposed to an eventual an

3072
01:43:38,180 --> 01:43:39,540
armistice without an agreement.

3073
01:43:39,540 --> 01:43:40,880
That's the other option.

3074
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:43,180
Thank you very much, Andrew Rasulis, for throwing

3075
01:43:43,180 --> 01:43:44,320
in the A word there.

3076
01:43:44,520 --> 01:43:46,620
Well, that's why you played that clip.

3077
01:43:46,700 --> 01:43:47,520
No, there's more.

3078
01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:48,640
Self-serving.

3079
01:43:49,500 --> 01:43:50,300
Oh, I'm sorry.

3080
01:43:51,580 --> 01:43:53,620
I would never do something like that.

3081
01:43:54,180 --> 01:43:57,500
So it's a linear process, and Zelensky comes

3082
01:43:57,500 --> 01:43:58,240
in later.

3083
01:43:58,740 --> 01:44:00,880
Zelensky at some point will have to come

3084
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:02,700
in if there is going to be an

3085
01:44:02,700 --> 01:44:03,160
agreement.

3086
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:05,320
But it's a stepstone effect.

3087
01:44:05,660 --> 01:44:07,160
So it's not, it's sequential.

3088
01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:10,880
It's not comprehensive, all-at-one-shot deal.

3089
01:44:11,220 --> 01:44:13,780
Because if they actually met today or Friday,

3090
01:44:14,100 --> 01:44:15,660
all of them, there'd be no deal.

3091
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:19,140
Because Zelensky's position, as we heard yesterday in

3092
01:44:19,140 --> 01:44:22,580
London from the European Union and the Ukrainians,

3093
01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:25,640
there's no movement there in that position at

3094
01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:27,680
all from what they've been saying for months.

3095
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,440
And we know the Russians firmly reject that.

3096
01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:33,540
So there's no point, actually, at this point,

3097
01:44:33,620 --> 01:44:36,120
to meet between Zelensky and Putin.

3098
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:37,940
Because there's going to be zero progress.

3099
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:42,560
So, on the last show— They had code

3100
01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:44,260
in there, by the way, which indicates they're

3101
01:44:44,260 --> 01:44:45,320
going to kill Zelensky.

3102
01:44:45,540 --> 01:44:48,200
Possible, because Zelensky is the problem.

3103
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:50,720
No, he said one-shot deal.

3104
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:53,880
That's good code.

3105
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:56,300
So on the last show, we had two

3106
01:44:56,300 --> 01:44:59,900
terms, which Mark Rutte— Mark Rutte brought it

3107
01:44:59,900 --> 01:45:02,320
up, so we will explore it here.

3108
01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:05,480
The terms are de jure and de facto.

3109
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:08,140
And Rutte actually had it backwards.

3110
01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:10,280
But de jure, when the term de jure,

3111
01:45:10,460 --> 01:45:13,720
French— De jure means by law, de jure,

3112
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:16,720
de jure, of jury, of jurisdiction.

3113
01:45:17,500 --> 01:45:19,200
De facto means facts.

3114
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:23,840
So you may legally have right to a

3115
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:25,680
part of a country that is de jure,

3116
01:45:25,980 --> 01:45:27,700
and you may have some part of a

3117
01:45:27,700 --> 01:45:29,820
country that would be de facto just because

3118
01:45:29,820 --> 01:45:31,480
you happen to say it's ours.

3119
01:45:31,480 --> 01:45:34,320
And this comes into play with the next

3120
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:35,320
clip here from Andrew.

3121
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:37,360
In my opinion, looking at the balance of

3122
01:45:37,360 --> 01:45:38,880
forces— And I'm looking at the balance of

3123
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:40,860
forces here, a realistic assessment.

3124
01:45:42,060 --> 01:45:45,240
Ukraine will most likely have to make some

3125
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:48,540
adjustments from the position that we heard Saturday.

3126
01:45:49,180 --> 01:45:50,500
That is an absolute position.

3127
01:45:50,580 --> 01:45:51,640
That's a maximalist position.

3128
01:45:52,060 --> 01:45:53,580
They're going to have to move away from

3129
01:45:53,580 --> 01:45:53,880
that.

3130
01:45:54,200 --> 01:45:56,200
And they're going to have to give up

3131
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:57,380
some of that land.

3132
01:45:57,380 --> 01:46:00,240
Now, the wording, the magic wording there that

3133
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:02,320
we've all talked about is de jure, de

3134
01:46:02,320 --> 01:46:02,640
facto.

3135
01:46:02,920 --> 01:46:05,540
The Russians could say it's by law theirs,

3136
01:46:05,620 --> 01:46:05,960
de jure.

3137
01:46:06,580 --> 01:46:08,500
Ukrainians could say, no, it's by fact.

3138
01:46:08,680 --> 01:46:10,740
But in that case, they both live with

3139
01:46:10,740 --> 01:46:10,880
it.

3140
01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:13,820
Like the Turkish enclave in Cyprus from 1974,

3141
01:46:14,260 --> 01:46:14,720
for example.

3142
01:46:14,860 --> 01:46:15,880
People forget about that.

3143
01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:18,400
That's a de jure, de facto relationship that's

3144
01:46:18,400 --> 01:46:19,760
gone on since 1974.

3145
01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:21,360
So those are options.

3146
01:46:21,460 --> 01:46:22,740
But the Ukrainians are going to have to

3147
01:46:22,740 --> 01:46:23,120
move.

3148
01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:25,520
And if they don't move, the Russians will

3149
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:27,360
continue the war against them.

3150
01:46:27,660 --> 01:46:29,160
And the Ukrainians will have to defend.

3151
01:46:29,480 --> 01:46:31,080
And then it's a question of balance of

3152
01:46:31,080 --> 01:46:31,380
forces.

3153
01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:34,740
And today, the balance of forces favors, to

3154
01:46:34,740 --> 01:46:35,800
some degree, the Russians.

3155
01:46:35,980 --> 01:46:36,680
They have the momentum.

3156
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:38,200
They have the momentum.

3157
01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:39,180
I love that guy.

3158
01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:40,920
I love that he brings up de jure,

3159
01:46:41,040 --> 01:46:42,880
de facto, and then brings in Cyprus and

3160
01:46:42,880 --> 01:46:43,160
Turkey.

3161
01:46:43,300 --> 01:46:44,200
Perfect example.

3162
01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:49,940
So then the final point is what Zelensky

3163
01:46:49,940 --> 01:46:51,040
has been yammering about.

3164
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:52,920
We need security guarantees.

3165
01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:54,660
We need security guarantees.

3166
01:46:55,300 --> 01:46:59,040
Now, you can get that from NATO by

3167
01:46:59,040 --> 01:47:00,080
being in NATO.

3168
01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:02,940
If you're in the European Union, which you're

3169
01:47:02,940 --> 01:47:04,980
not, you might get that from the European

3170
01:47:04,980 --> 01:47:08,680
Union armies, which I have a hard time

3171
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,160
believing any young people in their right minds

3172
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:12,560
in Europe are going to say, oh, yeah,

3173
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:14,220
I'll go fight for those guys.

3174
01:47:15,020 --> 01:47:18,280
There was a research study done recently that

3175
01:47:18,280 --> 01:47:20,580
indicates that half the German youth wouldn't fight

3176
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:21,200
for Germany.

3177
01:47:21,440 --> 01:47:22,300
The German youth?

3178
01:47:23,280 --> 01:47:23,720
Yeah.

3179
01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:25,420
What a switch.

3180
01:47:26,480 --> 01:47:27,260
No, of course not.

3181
01:47:27,340 --> 01:47:29,480
The Brits, the Brits are like, hey, mate,

3182
01:47:30,140 --> 01:47:31,220
I'm drinking my pint.

3183
01:47:31,380 --> 01:47:33,320
I'm not going to go fight against Russia.

3184
01:47:34,140 --> 01:47:35,780
They're so far removed from it.

3185
01:47:35,860 --> 01:47:37,460
And I think their chatbot said they didn't

3186
01:47:37,460 --> 01:47:37,840
have to.

3187
01:47:38,580 --> 01:47:40,100
So there's only one option left.

3188
01:47:40,480 --> 01:47:41,920
Well, it is on the table from a

3189
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:42,920
Ukrainian point of view.

3190
01:47:43,220 --> 01:47:44,960
It's not on the table from a Russian

3191
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:45,540
point of view.

3192
01:47:45,540 --> 01:47:48,780
And, again, the battlefield continues to shape the

3193
01:47:48,780 --> 01:47:49,460
negotiations.

3194
01:47:50,140 --> 01:47:52,880
So the Russian position is, again, also well

3195
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:53,180
known.

3196
01:47:53,580 --> 01:47:56,140
They want a neutral Ukraine, not part of

3197
01:47:56,140 --> 01:47:56,380
NATO.

3198
01:47:56,740 --> 01:48:00,280
They do not want European security guarantees for

3199
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:00,680
Ukraine.

3200
01:48:01,020 --> 01:48:02,380
They want a neutral Ukraine.

3201
01:48:02,380 --> 01:48:04,480
And in terms of any kind of peacekeeping

3202
01:48:04,480 --> 01:48:06,540
force, it would have to be based on

3203
01:48:06,540 --> 01:48:09,300
neutral forces, like a U.N. Blue Helmet

3204
01:48:09,300 --> 01:48:10,100
kind of force.

3205
01:48:10,260 --> 01:48:11,540
That's the Russian position.

3206
01:48:11,540 --> 01:48:14,040
And they will keep pushing that position as

3207
01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:16,560
long as they have the momentum, in terms

3208
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:18,720
of the balance of forces on the battlefield,

3209
01:48:18,980 --> 01:48:20,640
which they have the momentum today.

3210
01:48:20,980 --> 01:48:21,640
Blue Helmets.

3211
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:23,980
Yeah, that means cholera.

3212
01:48:25,100 --> 01:48:26,620
Cholera coming to Ukraine.

3213
01:48:27,960 --> 01:48:30,140
Now, the U.N. forces, aren't they kind

3214
01:48:30,140 --> 01:48:32,560
of just like NATO without guns and with

3215
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:33,240
blue helmets?

3216
01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:34,620
Isn't that basically it?

3217
01:48:34,620 --> 01:48:36,100
No, I don't think they're like NATO at

3218
01:48:36,100 --> 01:48:36,260
all.

3219
01:48:36,260 --> 01:48:38,380
I think they're just a bunch of cholera

3220
01:48:38,380 --> 01:48:41,300
-ridden jerk-offs that don't do anything.

3221
01:48:43,380 --> 01:48:46,100
It worked out so well in Europe before.

3222
01:48:46,660 --> 01:48:47,360
It was great.

3223
01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:48,720
Chechnya was great.

3224
01:48:49,540 --> 01:48:52,140
Well, the Blue Helmets are notorious in Haiti.

3225
01:48:52,660 --> 01:48:53,560
Haiti is the best.

3226
01:48:54,040 --> 01:48:56,580
And then, finally, about the secondary sanctions, just

3227
01:48:56,580 --> 01:48:57,160
a short clip.

3228
01:48:57,420 --> 01:48:59,180
They're also rapists, by the way.

3229
01:48:59,380 --> 01:49:01,540
Yes, this is well known, well known.

3230
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:03,820
I would suggest that they have taken note.

3231
01:49:03,820 --> 01:49:06,460
If they can avoid it, they will.

3232
01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:11,140
But they will not move significantly, strategically, from

3233
01:49:11,140 --> 01:49:11,800
their positions.

3234
01:49:11,960 --> 01:49:14,060
They are defiant in that regard.

3235
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:16,880
The Indians are also somewhat defiant.

3236
01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:19,580
And the other unknown in all this is

3237
01:49:19,580 --> 01:49:19,900
China.

3238
01:49:20,620 --> 01:49:22,600
Because Trump has said, you know, those tariffs

3239
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:24,980
would also cut, the secondary sanctions would come

3240
01:49:24,980 --> 01:49:27,500
into play against China for buying Russian oil.

3241
01:49:27,540 --> 01:49:28,840
And they buy a lot more than India

3242
01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:29,160
does.

3243
01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:32,060
But I think they're mindful of that, trying

3244
01:49:32,060 --> 01:49:33,500
to avoid that situation.

3245
01:49:33,500 --> 01:49:35,240
But I don't think they're running scared.

3246
01:49:36,300 --> 01:49:36,860
We shall see.

3247
01:49:37,060 --> 01:49:38,140
We will know more tomorrow.

3248
01:49:39,300 --> 01:49:39,740
Or not.

3249
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:40,740
Or not.

3250
01:49:40,740 --> 01:49:41,240
Or not.

3251
01:49:41,420 --> 01:49:42,820
But I, kind of like you said in

3252
01:49:42,820 --> 01:49:44,700
his opening clip, they already have some kind

3253
01:49:44,700 --> 01:49:45,080
of deal.

3254
01:49:45,180 --> 01:49:46,880
There's already, everyone's going to have a takeaway

3255
01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:47,980
about something.

3256
01:49:48,060 --> 01:49:49,640
And that may just be America and Russia.

3257
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:51,920
Like, hey, take our stable coin.

3258
01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:54,980
Which, by the way, Europe is freaking out

3259
01:49:54,980 --> 01:49:55,960
about the stable coins.

3260
01:49:57,020 --> 01:49:57,400
Yeah.

3261
01:49:57,600 --> 01:49:59,220
Because they were late with their CBDC.

3262
01:49:59,220 --> 01:50:01,960
You know, the digital euro is going to

3263
01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:02,820
be just like cash.

3264
01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:04,420
Just like cash in your pocket.

3265
01:50:04,580 --> 01:50:06,200
Yes, we can track you, but it's just

3266
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:06,760
like cash.

3267
01:50:07,100 --> 01:50:07,540
It's cash.

3268
01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:10,560
But also, the swift bypass, I think, is

3269
01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:11,080
the big deal.

3270
01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:11,580
That's the big one.

3271
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:11,820
Yeah.

3272
01:50:11,980 --> 01:50:14,480
And which Brussels controlled, basically.

3273
01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:17,620
Did you hear about the new EU media

3274
01:50:17,620 --> 01:50:18,520
freedom law?

3275
01:50:21,080 --> 01:50:22,980
There's been a bunch of screwball laws that

3276
01:50:22,980 --> 01:50:23,580
are starting to pass.

3277
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:26,380
There's something going on that starts in January

3278
01:50:26,380 --> 01:50:27,620
1st, 2026.

3279
01:50:28,820 --> 01:50:31,460
You can't be on the phone for more

3280
01:50:31,460 --> 01:50:33,340
than 10 minutes in the UK before they

3281
01:50:33,340 --> 01:50:34,540
start recording the call.

3282
01:50:35,220 --> 01:50:36,880
Although, they do that here anyway.

3283
01:50:37,120 --> 01:50:37,900
Oh, that's interesting.

3284
01:50:38,860 --> 01:50:40,680
There's a bunch of weird stuff going.

3285
01:50:40,860 --> 01:50:43,840
The EU is going, I mean, people moan

3286
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:45,720
and groan about fascism, but this is the

3287
01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:46,320
real deal.

3288
01:50:46,460 --> 01:50:49,620
So, the European Union's European Media Freedom Act,

3289
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:51,780
the name already tells you we're in trouble.

3290
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:53,620
Yeah, it tells you what it is, which

3291
01:50:53,620 --> 01:50:54,560
is not freedom.

3292
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:57,300
It became law across all member states on

3293
01:50:57,300 --> 01:50:58,560
August 8th.

3294
01:50:59,620 --> 01:51:01,620
Now, there's a copy out there.

3295
01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:06,920
Alongside language about protecting reporters, the regulation also

3296
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:11,640
authorized arrests, sanctions, and surveillance of journalists whenever

3297
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:14,440
the authorities think or can say that it

3298
01:51:14,440 --> 01:51:17,840
serves an, quote, overriding reason in the general

3299
01:51:17,840 --> 01:51:20,980
interest, such as, you know, disinformation.

3300
01:51:22,180 --> 01:51:23,840
So, what a great time to be a

3301
01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:24,940
journalist in the EU.

3302
01:51:27,930 --> 01:51:31,570
Disinformation, an overriding reason they can arrest you

3303
01:51:31,570 --> 01:51:32,490
as a journalist.

3304
01:51:33,290 --> 01:51:34,130
How about that?

3305
01:51:35,730 --> 01:51:36,910
How about that?

3306
01:51:39,510 --> 01:51:40,850
Let's see who gets arrested.

3307
01:51:41,010 --> 01:51:41,550
Somebody will.

3308
01:51:42,110 --> 01:51:42,570
Oh, yeah.

3309
01:51:43,210 --> 01:51:45,370
It'll start with a podcaster, you know, it'll

3310
01:51:45,370 --> 01:51:45,730
be innocuous.

3311
01:51:46,350 --> 01:51:48,370
Like, oh, it's just podcasters they're arresting.

3312
01:51:48,830 --> 01:51:50,170
And they'll rouse someone else.

3313
01:51:51,190 --> 01:51:55,090
And, by the way, podcasters are journalists in

3314
01:51:55,090 --> 01:51:57,650
some way, I would say.

3315
01:51:57,730 --> 01:51:59,190
No, not in some way, in every way.

3316
01:51:59,310 --> 01:51:59,530
Yeah.

3317
01:52:03,030 --> 01:52:03,650
Let's see.

3318
01:52:03,770 --> 01:52:06,430
Speaking of stable coins, Scott Besant, very disappointing

3319
01:52:06,430 --> 01:52:07,410
statement this morning.

3320
01:52:07,590 --> 01:52:08,870
Or not this morning, I think it was,

3321
01:52:09,150 --> 01:52:10,010
it was this morning.

3322
01:52:10,570 --> 01:52:12,610
With the money, honey, as she brought up

3323
01:52:12,610 --> 01:52:14,570
stores of value.

3324
01:52:14,890 --> 01:52:16,070
What's the story on gold?

3325
01:52:18,110 --> 01:52:20,390
We've got this, the large gold holding.

3326
01:52:20,390 --> 01:52:22,950
I doubt we're going to revalue it, but

3327
01:52:22,950 --> 01:52:24,590
we are going to keep it there.

3328
01:52:24,850 --> 01:52:27,890
Again, as a store of value for the

3329
01:52:27,890 --> 01:52:28,590
American people.

3330
01:52:28,810 --> 01:52:32,470
We've also started, to get into the 21st

3331
01:52:32,470 --> 01:52:35,030
century, a Bitcoin strategic reserve.

3332
01:52:35,470 --> 01:52:37,010
We're not going to be buying that, but

3333
01:52:37,010 --> 01:52:41,670
we are going to use confiscated assets and

3334
01:52:41,670 --> 01:52:43,150
continue to build that up.

3335
01:52:43,210 --> 01:52:44,610
We're going to stop selling that.

3336
01:52:44,610 --> 01:52:48,370
I believe that Bitcoin reserve at today's prices

3337
01:52:48,370 --> 01:52:51,470
is somewhere between 15 and 20 billion.

3338
01:52:52,250 --> 01:52:54,110
Not going to be buying for it.

3339
01:52:54,190 --> 01:52:54,910
Oh, no.

3340
01:52:55,070 --> 01:52:56,410
No, they're going to be confiscating it.

3341
01:52:56,430 --> 01:52:56,870
You heard him.

3342
01:52:57,050 --> 01:52:59,490
No, but he said, what I heard him

3343
01:52:59,490 --> 01:53:02,310
say was, we have the confiscated Bitcoin, which

3344
01:53:02,310 --> 01:53:04,290
I think at today's prices are 20 billion,

3345
01:53:04,390 --> 01:53:05,410
could be 15 billion.

3346
01:53:05,790 --> 01:53:06,930
How much did you sell?

3347
01:53:08,190 --> 01:53:10,330
15 billion, 20 billion, I don't know, it

3348
01:53:10,330 --> 01:53:12,250
could be 200,000 Bitcoin, could be 150

3349
01:53:12,250 --> 01:53:12,650
,000.

3350
01:53:12,650 --> 01:53:14,570
They don't even know how much they have.

3351
01:53:15,690 --> 01:53:17,390
It's not a good message to the Bitcoin

3352
01:53:17,390 --> 01:53:17,910
community.

3353
01:53:18,070 --> 01:53:19,210
I don't know how much they have.

3354
01:53:19,570 --> 01:53:20,710
You're right, that's very funny.

3355
01:53:21,030 --> 01:53:25,070
I have the, going back to Trump, Putin,

3356
01:53:25,390 --> 01:53:27,970
I have the odds sheet.

3357
01:53:28,450 --> 01:53:29,630
Funny, I got that too.

3358
01:53:29,750 --> 01:53:31,070
They always email me that.

3359
01:53:31,390 --> 01:53:32,350
Oh, you've been getting it.

3360
01:53:32,450 --> 01:53:34,210
Yeah, yeah, but I usually delete it.

3361
01:53:36,220 --> 01:53:36,900
So you have it?

3362
01:53:36,980 --> 01:53:38,080
Tell us what it is, because I deleted

3363
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:38,660
it this morning.

3364
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:40,680
Okay, well, here's some odds.

3365
01:53:40,700 --> 01:53:42,080
These are all prop bets.

3366
01:53:42,280 --> 01:53:42,640
Yes.

3367
01:53:43,620 --> 01:53:45,100
Obviously, they're prop bets.

3368
01:53:45,240 --> 01:53:45,620
Prop bets.

3369
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:47,320
And just a few of them that are

3370
01:53:47,320 --> 01:53:52,560
headliners, will Vladimir Putin be arrested on U

3371
01:53:52,560 --> 01:53:53,140
.S. soil?

3372
01:53:53,200 --> 01:53:54,380
What are the odds on that?

3373
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:55,700
50 to 1.

3374
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:57,860
That's higher than I thought it would be.

3375
01:53:58,020 --> 01:53:59,860
Of course he's not going to arrest him.

3376
01:54:00,540 --> 01:54:02,260
No, that's lower than you thought it would

3377
01:54:02,260 --> 01:54:02,720
be then.

3378
01:54:03,320 --> 01:54:04,700
It should be 1,000 to 1.

3379
01:54:04,820 --> 01:54:06,080
Yeah, okay, that's what I mean.

3380
01:54:06,980 --> 01:54:09,060
Will the United States leave the UN in

3381
01:54:09,060 --> 01:54:09,540
2025?

3382
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:12,080
No.

3383
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:12,680
What do you think?

3384
01:54:12,860 --> 01:54:13,080
No.

3385
01:54:13,860 --> 01:54:14,700
33 to 1.

3386
01:54:16,020 --> 01:54:17,160
Okay, so here's a better one.

3387
01:54:17,720 --> 01:54:20,600
Trump to support the idea of Russia joining

3388
01:54:20,600 --> 01:54:22,160
the G7, huh?

3389
01:54:22,340 --> 01:54:22,540
Yes.

3390
01:54:22,540 --> 01:54:23,660
What's the odds on that?

3391
01:54:23,780 --> 01:54:25,540
I would say very, very good odds.

3392
01:54:26,540 --> 01:54:26,840
Even?

3393
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:27,800
Even.

3394
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:28,160
Hmm.

3395
01:54:28,920 --> 01:54:29,520
1 to 1.

3396
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:31,360
That means that that's about as good as

3397
01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:31,720
it gets.

3398
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:33,220
Well, I mean, 1 to 1, so you

3399
01:54:33,220 --> 01:54:35,200
can only win $1 if I'm right and

3400
01:54:35,200 --> 01:54:36,400
lose my dollar if I'm wrong?

3401
01:54:36,860 --> 01:54:38,280
Yeah, it's just 1 to 1.

3402
01:54:38,360 --> 01:54:39,880
You bet $1 to win $1.

3403
01:54:39,980 --> 01:54:40,520
Hmm, okay.

3404
01:54:40,520 --> 01:54:42,440
Or you bet $1 to lose $1.

3405
01:54:42,620 --> 01:54:43,540
That's 1 to 1.

3406
01:54:45,020 --> 01:54:50,040
Trump to mispronounce any Ukrainian region.

3407
01:54:51,760 --> 01:54:54,700
Well, I think very, very, very good odds

3408
01:54:54,700 --> 01:54:57,080
he's going to mispronounce a region.

3409
01:54:57,240 --> 01:54:58,000
What are the odds?

3410
01:54:58,460 --> 01:55:00,340
9 to 4, which is pretty close to

3411
01:55:00,340 --> 01:55:00,860
even.

3412
01:55:03,780 --> 01:55:07,900
Putin to endorse Trump for the Nobel Peace

3413
01:55:07,900 --> 01:55:08,560
Prize.

3414
01:55:10,040 --> 01:55:12,480
Definitely, definitely he's going to do that.

3415
01:55:12,620 --> 01:55:13,820
You can win money on that, but it's

3416
01:55:13,820 --> 01:55:15,240
a 5 to 2 bet, so you can

3417
01:55:15,240 --> 01:55:16,400
bet $2 to win $5.

3418
01:55:16,500 --> 01:55:18,460
No, I might go in on that one

3419
01:55:18,460 --> 01:55:19,020
for $2.

3420
01:55:19,200 --> 01:55:20,880
Can I do $2, literally $2?

3421
01:55:21,680 --> 01:55:21,940
Yeah.

3422
01:55:22,140 --> 01:55:23,040
Oh, I'm cool.

3423
01:55:23,620 --> 01:55:24,420
What's the VIG?

3424
01:55:24,700 --> 01:55:26,140
Do they take a VIG from me if

3425
01:55:26,140 --> 01:55:26,460
I win?

3426
01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:28,720
The betting house, you have to find the

3427
01:55:28,720 --> 01:55:30,460
house that's taking these bets.

3428
01:55:31,100 --> 01:55:31,820
These guys will do it.

3429
01:55:31,840 --> 01:55:32,580
Do it online.

3430
01:55:32,740 --> 01:55:33,900
Bet AG online.

3431
01:55:34,060 --> 01:55:35,520
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to get right on

3432
01:55:35,520 --> 01:55:35,620
that.

3433
01:55:35,620 --> 01:55:36,300
You can do it online.

3434
01:55:36,420 --> 01:55:37,760
Just go online and make your bets.

3435
01:55:37,820 --> 01:55:38,420
You can do it in Texas.

3436
01:55:38,540 --> 01:55:39,620
I can't do it in California.

3437
01:55:39,800 --> 01:55:40,000
It's illegal.

3438
01:55:40,200 --> 01:55:42,560
I spend my money on Bitcoin, not on

3439
01:55:42,560 --> 01:55:42,980
bets.

3440
01:55:43,420 --> 01:55:46,820
Trump to suggest that Russia joins the NATO.

3441
01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:48,680
Joins the NATO.

3442
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:50,600
Or joins NATO.

3443
01:55:50,680 --> 01:55:51,380
If he says the NATO.

3444
01:55:55,940 --> 01:55:56,900
Oh, that's…

3445
01:55:56,900 --> 01:55:59,220
That's actually kind of a…

3446
01:55:59,220 --> 01:56:01,660
That's an interesting idea, actually, now I think

3447
01:56:01,660 --> 01:56:02,260
about it.

3448
01:56:02,840 --> 01:56:05,620
Yeah, the bettors think so too.

3449
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:06,500
It's 3 to 1.

3450
01:56:06,800 --> 01:56:09,160
3 to 1 odds, so you win $3.

3451
01:56:09,580 --> 01:56:12,080
But that's pretty low, it seems to me,

3452
01:56:12,100 --> 01:56:13,140
because that's not going to happen.

3453
01:56:13,620 --> 01:56:15,500
Although it's possible, so…

3454
01:56:15,500 --> 01:56:16,780
Long term, long term.

3455
01:56:16,920 --> 01:56:18,720
Hey, we'll give you some stable coin.

3456
01:56:19,180 --> 01:56:19,620
We'll give you a flag.

3457
01:56:19,620 --> 01:56:22,980
And then the switcheroo on that same prop

3458
01:56:22,980 --> 01:56:25,700
bet would be Putin to suggest the US

3459
01:56:25,700 --> 01:56:26,700
leaves NATO.

3460
01:56:26,960 --> 01:56:28,080
No, not going to happen.

3461
01:56:28,220 --> 01:56:29,060
He's not stupid.

3462
01:56:29,280 --> 01:56:29,420
No.

3463
01:56:29,580 --> 01:56:30,600
That's a 4 to 1 bet.

3464
01:56:31,780 --> 01:56:33,000
And here's another…

3465
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:35,380
These are more like the typical prop bets,

3466
01:56:35,500 --> 01:56:37,300
which I think can be taken advantage of

3467
01:56:37,300 --> 01:56:38,320
by Trump's family.

3468
01:56:39,220 --> 01:56:40,720
Because you can just tell him he's going

3469
01:56:40,720 --> 01:56:41,080
to do it.

3470
01:56:41,500 --> 01:56:44,060
Trump to mispronounce any world leader.

3471
01:56:45,340 --> 01:56:46,900
No, I think he's pretty good at that.

3472
01:56:46,960 --> 01:56:48,400
I don't think he's going to mispronounce any

3473
01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:48,780
world leader.

3474
01:56:48,860 --> 01:56:50,360
He can do it 7 to 1.

3475
01:56:50,460 --> 01:56:50,980
He knows people's names.

3476
01:56:50,980 --> 01:56:52,040
It's a lot of money to be made.

3477
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:53,300
He knows people's names.

3478
01:56:53,540 --> 01:56:54,740
He's pretty good at that.

3479
01:56:55,200 --> 01:56:56,440
And I'm not going to go through all

3480
01:56:56,440 --> 01:56:57,180
these, but I'm going to do a couple

3481
01:56:57,180 --> 01:56:57,480
more.

3482
01:56:57,880 --> 01:56:59,400
And this one is the dumbest one.

3483
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:02,440
What are the odds of a submarine sandwich

3484
01:57:02,440 --> 01:57:03,660
being hurled at Trump?

3485
01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:05,600
It's not on there.

3486
01:57:05,680 --> 01:57:06,340
Oh, too bad.

3487
01:57:06,560 --> 01:57:08,180
At first, I thought this was a dumb

3488
01:57:08,180 --> 01:57:09,440
bet, but then I thought about it.

3489
01:57:09,540 --> 01:57:10,440
I said, wait a minute.

3490
01:57:10,480 --> 01:57:11,560
Well, she's there.

3491
01:57:12,600 --> 01:57:14,460
She's in the States, so it's possible.

3492
01:57:16,420 --> 01:57:18,860
Sarah Palin to attend the summit.

3493
01:57:20,060 --> 01:57:22,160
I would pay money just to see that.

3494
01:57:22,500 --> 01:57:23,180
I don't care.

3495
01:57:23,280 --> 01:57:23,920
Take my money.

3496
01:57:24,380 --> 01:57:27,000
Bring Sarah Palin in to say, I can

3497
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:28,060
see you from here.

3498
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:30,280
10 to 1.

3499
01:57:31,240 --> 01:57:31,940
Oh, great.

3500
01:57:32,200 --> 01:57:33,540
These are interesting bets.

3501
01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:35,760
This is maybe an exit strategy.

3502
01:57:35,900 --> 01:57:37,440
We could come up with these dumb bets.

3503
01:57:39,180 --> 01:57:40,820
Coming up with the bet is one thing.

3504
01:57:40,900 --> 01:57:41,920
Making money on it is another.

3505
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:43,240
Yeah, but I got a Bitcoin to back

3506
01:57:43,240 --> 01:57:43,500
us.

3507
01:57:47,900 --> 01:57:49,240
This is the last one I'm going to

3508
01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:49,340
do.

3509
01:57:49,380 --> 01:57:50,260
These are the words.

3510
01:57:51,020 --> 01:57:52,160
There's a list of words.

3511
01:57:52,580 --> 01:57:54,560
If Trump says them, you can win money.

3512
01:57:54,820 --> 01:57:55,120
Okay.

3513
01:57:56,080 --> 01:57:57,680
Just go through the list of words.

3514
01:57:57,680 --> 01:57:58,720
I'm just going to read them off.

3515
01:57:58,720 --> 01:58:02,520
Except for the word NATO, which is two

3516
01:58:02,520 --> 01:58:04,180
to three, which means you bet three bucks

3517
01:58:04,180 --> 01:58:06,260
to win two, which is nobody wants to

3518
01:58:06,260 --> 01:58:06,900
do those bets.

3519
01:58:07,620 --> 01:58:08,620
Fake news.

3520
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:09,240
Yes.

3521
01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:10,400
Historic moment.

3522
01:58:10,620 --> 01:58:10,820
No.

3523
01:58:11,080 --> 01:58:12,260
Bad person.

3524
01:58:12,700 --> 01:58:12,880
Yes.

3525
01:58:13,360 --> 01:58:14,340
Nobel Peace Prize.

3526
01:58:14,580 --> 01:58:14,820
No.

3527
01:58:15,540 --> 01:58:16,540
Great guy.

3528
01:58:16,840 --> 01:58:17,180
Yes.

3529
01:58:17,380 --> 01:58:17,760
Yes.

3530
01:58:17,980 --> 01:58:19,000
10 times yes.

3531
01:58:19,540 --> 01:58:21,180
That's a five to one, but you could

3532
01:58:21,180 --> 01:58:21,980
win five bucks.

3533
01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:24,560
Terrific plan.

3534
01:58:25,800 --> 01:58:26,300
No.

3535
01:58:26,300 --> 01:58:28,900
Then Elon or Musk.

3536
01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:30,200
No.

3537
01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:31,420
10 to one.

3538
01:58:32,060 --> 01:58:32,500
Mueller.

3539
01:58:33,620 --> 01:58:34,000
No.

3540
01:58:35,040 --> 01:58:35,920
And Navalny.

3541
01:58:36,640 --> 01:58:36,980
No.

3542
01:58:37,380 --> 01:58:38,860
No, I agree with this.

3543
01:58:39,020 --> 01:58:40,640
He's not going to mention Navalny.

3544
01:58:40,760 --> 01:58:41,860
So what is the sure bet?

3545
01:58:41,920 --> 01:58:42,760
What are we going in on?

3546
01:58:42,820 --> 01:58:43,780
What are we going to put our one

3547
01:58:43,780 --> 01:58:45,740
dollar, one dollar, dollar, dollar bill?

3548
01:58:45,840 --> 01:58:46,560
What are we going to put our last

3549
01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:47,280
dollar bill on?

3550
01:58:48,460 --> 01:58:52,820
I think the term great guy would be

3551
01:58:52,820 --> 01:58:54,660
the best bet because it's five to one.

3552
01:58:55,000 --> 01:58:55,640
Great guy.

3553
01:58:56,660 --> 01:58:57,560
Five to one.

3554
01:58:57,680 --> 01:58:58,580
He's a great guy.

3555
01:58:58,680 --> 01:59:00,180
Scott Besant is a great guy.

3556
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:00,800
Oh, no.

3557
01:59:00,920 --> 01:59:01,980
I mean, who's the guy?

3558
01:59:02,640 --> 01:59:03,340
Who's the negotiator?

3559
01:59:05,900 --> 01:59:06,260
Wickham.

3560
01:59:06,520 --> 01:59:06,640
Wickham.

3561
01:59:06,720 --> 01:59:07,080
Wickham.

3562
01:59:07,340 --> 01:59:07,700
Whitcoff.

3563
01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:08,240
Whitcoff.

3564
01:59:11,080 --> 01:59:12,140
You know who else is a great guy?

3565
01:59:12,640 --> 01:59:14,040
The guy who I say in the morning

3566
01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:14,260
to.

3567
01:59:14,340 --> 01:59:16,580
The man who put the C in the

3568
01:59:16,580 --> 01:59:17,560
census recount.

3569
01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:19,520
Please say hello to my friend on the

3570
01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:19,880
other end.

3571
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:21,380
The one, the only, the great guy.

3572
01:59:21,480 --> 01:59:23,320
Mr. John C.

3573
01:59:24,300 --> 01:59:24,640
DeMora.

3574
01:59:27,980 --> 01:59:29,600
Yeah, well, good morning to you, sir.

3575
01:59:29,760 --> 01:59:30,200
Great to see you, Mr. DeMora.

3576
01:59:30,340 --> 01:59:30,740
It's good to see you.

3577
01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:31,640
Boots on the ground, feet in the air,

3578
01:59:31,680 --> 01:59:32,240
socks in the water.

3579
01:59:32,920 --> 01:59:34,840
And all the days and nights out there.

3580
01:59:35,020 --> 01:59:35,340
There we go.

3581
01:59:35,480 --> 01:59:36,680
We're counting trolls in the morning.

3582
01:59:37,060 --> 01:59:38,180
Trolls in the troll room.

3583
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:40,920
Well, I don't know, man.

3584
01:59:41,980 --> 01:59:42,300
1571.

3585
01:59:43,780 --> 01:59:44,800
So, we're still low.

3586
01:59:44,940 --> 01:59:46,080
But people don't know that the troll room.

3587
01:59:46,080 --> 01:59:46,560
No, we're not.

3588
01:59:47,040 --> 01:59:47,600
We're not?

3589
01:59:48,200 --> 01:59:49,800
For Thursday, I think that's about right.

3590
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:50,940
I thought it used to be 1800.

3591
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:52,900
You're on the new numbers.

3592
01:59:53,700 --> 01:59:55,520
It used to be 1800, I think.

3593
01:59:55,520 --> 01:59:57,460
It's higher than last Thursday.

3594
01:59:57,480 --> 01:59:58,780
It's higher than last Thursday.

3595
01:59:59,020 --> 02:00:01,780
You know, people are succeeding getting back on.

3596
02:00:02,300 --> 02:00:04,000
Okay, well, we'll just let it slide.

3597
02:00:04,140 --> 02:00:05,400
We'll see what happens.

3598
02:00:05,560 --> 02:00:08,060
I mean, we believe that the problem has

3599
02:00:08,060 --> 02:00:08,620
been fixed.

3600
02:00:08,940 --> 02:00:10,880
Het oeufel is gemaakt, as we say in

3601
02:00:10,880 --> 02:00:11,520
the old country.

3602
02:00:12,360 --> 02:00:14,600
So, those trolls, the ones who are listening,

3603
02:00:14,720 --> 02:00:16,540
are listening on modern podcast apps.

3604
02:00:16,700 --> 02:00:19,200
They're at trollroom.io. The No Agenda stream.

3605
02:00:19,300 --> 02:00:20,460
So many places to listen.

3606
02:00:20,880 --> 02:00:22,700
But I do recommend one of those modern

3607
02:00:22,700 --> 02:00:23,400
podcast apps.

3608
02:00:23,400 --> 02:00:24,780
Because, you know, you can forget.

3609
02:00:24,960 --> 02:00:25,500
You can forget.

3610
02:00:25,820 --> 02:00:26,960
Like, you've got a busy life.

3611
02:00:27,020 --> 02:00:27,680
You're doing stuff.

3612
02:00:28,180 --> 02:00:29,940
But when you have a modern podcast app,

3613
02:00:29,960 --> 02:00:31,560
when we send out the bat signal, you

3614
02:00:31,560 --> 02:00:31,940
learn.

3615
02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:33,040
I mean, did I even send out the

3616
02:00:33,040 --> 02:00:33,720
bat signal today?

3617
02:00:34,140 --> 02:00:34,560
I don't know.

3618
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:35,220
No, you didn't.

3619
02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:36,840
I don't think I sent out the bat

3620
02:00:36,840 --> 02:00:37,240
signal.

3621
02:00:37,820 --> 02:00:38,000
Holy crap.

3622
02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:38,960
That's probably your reason.

3623
02:00:39,140 --> 02:00:39,800
Oh, no.

3624
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:40,600
Yeah, that's right.

3625
02:00:40,680 --> 02:00:43,180
I never sent out the official bat signal.

3626
02:00:43,340 --> 02:00:44,380
Wow, that was dumb.

3627
02:00:44,740 --> 02:00:46,740
Okay, so we'll have to check on Sunday.

3628
02:00:46,780 --> 02:00:48,520
Because people didn't get the bat signal.

3629
02:00:49,100 --> 02:00:49,880
I was so obsessed.

3630
02:00:49,880 --> 02:00:54,020
I was so obsessed with it being fixed

3631
02:00:54,020 --> 02:00:55,580
that I forgot to hit the bat signal.

3632
02:00:56,460 --> 02:00:57,260
Oh, brother.

3633
02:00:57,960 --> 02:00:58,640
Sorry about that.

3634
02:00:58,640 --> 02:00:59,560
I always thought you did these things like

3635
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:01,760
Pavlov's dog and you would, you know, you

3636
02:01:01,760 --> 02:01:02,340
would just like.

3637
02:01:02,540 --> 02:01:04,880
Yeah, well, but, you know, even if you

3638
02:01:04,880 --> 02:01:07,560
do something different with Pavlov's dog, then he

3639
02:01:07,560 --> 02:01:08,700
responds differently.

3640
02:01:08,840 --> 02:01:10,780
And so I forgot to do it.

3641
02:01:10,860 --> 02:01:11,720
I don't know what happened.

3642
02:01:12,660 --> 02:01:14,100
And no one reminded me.

3643
02:01:14,240 --> 02:01:14,560
Thanks.

3644
02:01:16,320 --> 02:01:18,120
Anyway, go to podcastapps.com.

3645
02:01:18,120 --> 02:01:20,500
Get yourself one of those beautiful modern podcast

3646
02:01:20,500 --> 02:01:22,920
apps to use and to enjoy.

3647
02:01:23,040 --> 02:01:24,520
And of course, we are Value for Value

3648
02:01:24,520 --> 02:01:26,700
on this podcast, which we've been doing for

3649
02:01:26,700 --> 02:01:27,580
over 17 years.

3650
02:01:27,620 --> 02:01:30,620
The big 18th birthday coming up in October.

3651
02:01:31,020 --> 02:01:34,100
I believe the Daily Source Code celebrated its

3652
02:01:34,100 --> 02:01:37,820
22nd birthday yesterday.

3653
02:01:41,580 --> 02:01:42,440
I'm not sure.

3654
02:01:42,900 --> 02:01:44,620
I have it in my calendar like Daily

3655
02:01:44,620 --> 02:01:45,420
Source Code birthday.

3656
02:01:45,660 --> 02:01:47,800
I think it's 22 years.

3657
02:01:47,800 --> 02:01:49,680
I've been doing this a long time, Johnny

3658
02:01:49,680 --> 02:01:49,940
boy.

3659
02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:51,800
It's a podcast thing.

3660
02:01:51,980 --> 02:01:52,460
You know what I'm saying?

3661
02:01:53,600 --> 02:01:53,840
No.

3662
02:01:54,240 --> 02:01:54,740
Oh, OK.

3663
02:01:54,860 --> 02:01:55,720
It's been a long time.

3664
02:01:59,100 --> 02:02:01,120
So Value for Value means that you can

3665
02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:03,440
support us and that we need your support.

3666
02:02:03,580 --> 02:02:05,180
And without the support, the show stops.

3667
02:02:06,020 --> 02:02:07,160
We give you value.

3668
02:02:07,580 --> 02:02:08,700
And people don't understand this.

3669
02:02:08,800 --> 02:02:10,180
You're not given it in advance.

3670
02:02:10,340 --> 02:02:11,620
You give it to us after the fact.

3671
02:02:11,660 --> 02:02:13,180
If you're listening and you think, you know,

3672
02:02:13,200 --> 02:02:14,980
that was pretty valuable what I heard, some

3673
02:02:14,980 --> 02:02:17,560
good analysis, or maybe I just laughed or,

3674
02:02:18,100 --> 02:02:19,640
wow, I got a good tip on a

3675
02:02:19,640 --> 02:02:20,160
prop bet.

3676
02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:21,080
Or?

3677
02:02:22,120 --> 02:02:22,560
Or?

3678
02:02:22,860 --> 02:02:24,940
I got a good tip on a stock.

3679
02:02:25,200 --> 02:02:26,540
I made some money.

3680
02:02:26,700 --> 02:02:30,160
Also, you can also have a nice little

3681
02:02:30,160 --> 02:02:32,600
tidbit you can drop at the cocktail party.

3682
02:02:32,720 --> 02:02:34,220
Always worth something.

3683
02:02:35,400 --> 02:02:37,280
And so you can return that to us

3684
02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:39,220
by going to noagendadonations.com.

3685
02:02:39,280 --> 02:02:40,860
We take time, talent, or treasure.

3686
02:02:41,340 --> 02:02:43,040
Of course, the boots on the ground are

3687
02:02:43,040 --> 02:02:43,540
invaluable.

3688
02:02:43,540 --> 02:02:46,320
People who organize meetups, all kinds of things

3689
02:02:46,320 --> 02:02:46,920
that people do.

3690
02:02:46,980 --> 02:02:48,580
And that's why we are the best podcast

3691
02:02:48,580 --> 02:02:50,600
in the universe, because we have thousands of

3692
02:02:51,260 --> 02:02:52,600
producers, active producers.

3693
02:02:52,600 --> 02:02:55,860
We have almost a million producers, because we

3694
02:02:55,860 --> 02:02:57,000
don't consider you to be listeners.

3695
02:02:57,060 --> 02:02:59,140
We consider you to be active participants in

3696
02:02:59,140 --> 02:02:59,700
the program.

3697
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:00,720
And they are.

3698
02:03:00,980 --> 02:03:01,340
They are.

3699
02:03:01,460 --> 02:03:03,120
They most often are.

3700
02:03:03,680 --> 02:03:06,040
The ones who, what was I reading on

3701
02:03:06,040 --> 02:03:06,880
X today?

3702
02:03:07,360 --> 02:03:09,280
You posted a TikTok clip.

3703
02:03:11,500 --> 02:03:13,100
And let me see if I can find

3704
02:03:13,100 --> 02:03:13,320
it.

3705
02:03:13,880 --> 02:03:16,700
And there was some snarky comment that, you

3706
02:03:16,700 --> 02:03:18,120
know, like, it got me mad.

3707
02:03:18,720 --> 02:03:19,940
And I'm like, no.

3708
02:03:20,160 --> 02:03:20,600
You look good.

3709
02:03:20,760 --> 02:03:22,720
I got that desired effect.

3710
02:03:23,120 --> 02:03:25,460
I know I'm going to forgive this person.

3711
02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:26,320
It was very hard.

3712
02:03:26,960 --> 02:03:27,520
Let me see.

3713
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:28,280
It was so snarky.

3714
02:03:29,040 --> 02:03:31,540
It was basically, donations are down, and it's

3715
02:03:31,540 --> 02:03:32,100
my fault.

3716
02:03:32,220 --> 02:03:34,060
I think that was the basic idea.

3717
02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:35,760
I didn't repost anything like that.

3718
02:03:35,800 --> 02:03:36,240
No, no, no.

3719
02:03:36,260 --> 02:03:38,020
Someone responded to your comment.

3720
02:03:38,020 --> 02:03:40,140
It's like, it's Adam's fault.

3721
02:03:40,500 --> 02:03:42,020
This is not the summer doldrums.

3722
02:03:43,900 --> 02:03:45,320
Curry's lost the plot.

3723
02:03:48,090 --> 02:03:49,170
I think it's safe to say, if I

3724
02:03:49,170 --> 02:03:50,870
really lost the plot, you would have spoken

3725
02:03:50,870 --> 02:03:51,770
to me about it.

3726
02:03:52,370 --> 02:03:53,450
Lost what plot?

3727
02:03:53,650 --> 02:03:54,270
I don't know.

3728
02:03:54,330 --> 02:03:55,110
We don't have a plot.

3729
02:03:55,210 --> 02:03:58,310
All we do is deconstruct what crappy news

3730
02:03:58,310 --> 02:04:00,450
we can find to deconstruct.

3731
02:04:00,530 --> 02:04:01,790
If there's nothing out there, what are we

3732
02:04:01,790 --> 02:04:02,290
going to do?

3733
02:04:02,450 --> 02:04:03,030
The plot.

3734
02:04:03,110 --> 02:04:04,090
It's just the plot.

3735
02:04:04,350 --> 02:04:04,870
The plot.

3736
02:04:07,370 --> 02:04:10,190
That's because you're a Zionist shill.

3737
02:04:10,330 --> 02:04:10,730
Oh, yeah.

3738
02:04:10,770 --> 02:04:11,190
That's it.

3739
02:04:12,090 --> 02:04:14,710
I chose my church over the people, man.

3740
02:04:14,850 --> 02:04:15,650
That's what happened.

3741
02:04:19,630 --> 02:04:20,730
We have artists.

3742
02:04:20,950 --> 02:04:21,850
Well, we had artists.

3743
02:04:22,130 --> 02:04:24,710
AI killed the artists, and now we have

3744
02:04:24,710 --> 02:04:25,250
prompters.

3745
02:04:25,850 --> 02:04:28,250
So, prompt jockeys come in, and they try

3746
02:04:28,250 --> 02:04:30,270
to make something fun and interesting for us

3747
02:04:30,270 --> 02:04:32,410
to choose, for the artwork for each episode.

3748
02:04:34,330 --> 02:04:39,050
Episode 1789, titled Glop After Mimi's Signature Recipe,

3749
02:04:39,990 --> 02:04:42,190
I got an immediate, very positive response.

3750
02:04:42,390 --> 02:04:44,490
This is from Digital2112man.

3751
02:04:44,590 --> 02:04:46,610
This was the woodworking shop, as we talked

3752
02:04:46,610 --> 02:04:50,130
about, home-ec, and shop, and woodworking.

3753
02:04:50,750 --> 02:04:51,990
We forgot basket weaving.

3754
02:04:52,190 --> 02:04:53,330
I think that was also something you could

3755
02:04:53,330 --> 02:04:53,910
take at school.

3756
02:04:54,930 --> 02:04:56,110
Not my school.

3757
02:04:56,410 --> 02:04:57,330
It was nice.

3758
02:04:57,330 --> 02:05:00,770
It was some woodworking tools on a tool

3759
02:05:00,770 --> 02:05:03,190
bench, and a big wooden sign in the

3760
02:05:03,190 --> 02:05:04,810
background made of wood.

3761
02:05:04,870 --> 02:05:05,390
No agenda.

3762
02:05:05,570 --> 02:05:06,310
Curry and Dvorak.

3763
02:05:06,470 --> 02:05:07,990
It looks hyper-realistic.

3764
02:05:08,690 --> 02:05:10,210
And I immediately got a note from Rob,

3765
02:05:10,230 --> 02:05:11,330
the constitutional lawyer.

3766
02:05:11,450 --> 02:05:13,970
He says, this is exactly what I was

3767
02:05:13,970 --> 02:05:15,630
doing while listening to the show.

3768
02:05:15,710 --> 02:05:16,510
This is amazing.

3769
02:05:17,410 --> 02:05:19,450
He's a woodworker in his spare time, you

3770
02:05:19,450 --> 02:05:19,630
see.

3771
02:05:19,850 --> 02:05:20,710
Oh, that's interesting.

3772
02:05:20,810 --> 02:05:21,610
A lot of people are.

3773
02:05:21,750 --> 02:05:21,990
Yeah.

3774
02:05:22,150 --> 02:05:24,110
He makes guitars, too.

3775
02:05:24,790 --> 02:05:25,510
Makes a lot of guitars.

3776
02:05:25,550 --> 02:05:25,670
What?

3777
02:05:25,670 --> 02:05:26,310
Oh, yeah.

3778
02:05:26,350 --> 02:05:27,530
He builds his own guitars.

3779
02:05:27,930 --> 02:05:28,530
Electric guitars.

3780
02:05:29,230 --> 02:05:29,990
And they're good.

3781
02:05:30,090 --> 02:05:30,850
They're cool looking.

3782
02:05:31,990 --> 02:05:32,150
Yeah.

3783
02:05:32,430 --> 02:05:32,610
Yeah.

3784
02:05:33,190 --> 02:05:34,150
Solid body?

3785
02:05:34,490 --> 02:05:35,410
Solid body, man.

3786
02:05:35,830 --> 02:05:36,130
Solid.

3787
02:05:36,690 --> 02:05:36,830
Yeah.

3788
02:05:37,550 --> 02:05:39,190
I'd be more impressed if it was hollow

3789
02:05:39,190 --> 02:05:39,490
body.

3790
02:05:39,670 --> 02:05:40,650
Well, watch out.

3791
02:05:40,730 --> 02:05:41,490
He may have one.

3792
02:05:42,150 --> 02:05:43,530
He's a very interesting guy.

3793
02:05:43,750 --> 02:05:45,570
I think that takes too much work.

3794
02:05:45,690 --> 02:05:47,870
Thank you, Digital2112man.

3795
02:05:47,930 --> 02:05:48,510
Let's take a look.

3796
02:05:48,610 --> 02:05:50,970
Were there any other pieces that we were

3797
02:05:50,970 --> 02:05:51,350
looking at?

3798
02:05:51,350 --> 02:05:53,410
Yeah, I liked the cartoon piece just below

3799
02:05:53,410 --> 02:05:54,810
it by Digital, the same guy.

3800
02:05:55,730 --> 02:05:57,610
With the sun tax guy.

3801
02:05:57,790 --> 02:05:58,550
You didn't like it.

3802
02:05:58,630 --> 02:06:00,050
You thought it was too cartoony, even though

3803
02:06:00,050 --> 02:06:00,670
it was a cartoon.

3804
02:06:01,390 --> 02:06:03,550
And then I also liked the guy throwing

3805
02:06:03,550 --> 02:06:06,070
the purse out the window of the plane.

3806
02:06:06,430 --> 02:06:07,150
We discussed it.

3807
02:06:07,190 --> 02:06:08,670
We discussed that as a possibility.

3808
02:06:09,090 --> 02:06:11,250
The pilot tossing the purse out.

3809
02:06:11,730 --> 02:06:12,990
That was kind of cute.

3810
02:06:13,030 --> 02:06:13,670
I thought it was funny.

3811
02:06:14,750 --> 02:06:16,930
We ended up deciding on the woodworking one.

3812
02:06:16,990 --> 02:06:18,290
It was more complex.

3813
02:06:18,630 --> 02:06:19,570
It was a better piece.

3814
02:06:19,830 --> 02:06:20,090
Yeah.

3815
02:06:20,090 --> 02:06:21,410
And it wasn't orange.

3816
02:06:21,690 --> 02:06:23,210
For some reason, the art generator is not

3817
02:06:23,210 --> 02:06:24,610
really loading for me right now.

3818
02:06:24,750 --> 02:06:26,210
But I'll just have to take your word

3819
02:06:26,210 --> 02:06:26,610
for it.

3820
02:06:27,350 --> 02:06:29,470
So, thank you, artists, all of you.

3821
02:06:29,510 --> 02:06:30,690
All of you at Prompt Jockeys.

3822
02:06:30,830 --> 02:06:31,670
We appreciate you.

3823
02:06:32,310 --> 02:06:33,170
Knowagendaartgenerator.com.

3824
02:06:33,250 --> 02:06:34,390
Everybody can participate.

3825
02:06:34,670 --> 02:06:36,350
And by everybody, I mean everybody.

3826
02:06:36,550 --> 02:06:38,210
Because, hey, it's just so easy.

3827
02:06:39,430 --> 02:06:41,310
Just go to your AI.

3828
02:06:41,550 --> 02:06:42,770
By the way, I tried to make an

3829
02:06:42,770 --> 02:06:43,770
AI image yesterday.

3830
02:06:44,110 --> 02:06:45,270
It's not that easy.

3831
02:06:46,490 --> 02:06:47,990
Unless you just…

3832
02:06:47,990 --> 02:06:49,450
I don't know what people are using.

3833
02:06:51,590 --> 02:06:53,490
But ChatGBT5 couldn't do anything.

3834
02:06:54,350 --> 02:06:55,390
No, I would never use that.

3835
02:06:55,490 --> 02:06:56,390
You usually have to use one of the

3836
02:06:56,390 --> 02:06:57,150
art generators.

3837
02:06:57,390 --> 02:06:57,930
An art generator.

3838
02:06:58,110 --> 02:06:59,010
What do you recommend?

3839
02:06:59,210 --> 02:07:00,390
The ones that are specific to doing art.

3840
02:07:00,490 --> 02:07:00,690
Yeah.

3841
02:07:00,750 --> 02:07:01,470
What do you recommend?

3842
02:07:02,490 --> 02:07:04,130
Well, I like the Microsoft one.

3843
02:07:04,390 --> 02:07:05,550
I think that does good work.

3844
02:07:05,630 --> 02:07:06,150
What, Gemini?

3845
02:07:06,950 --> 02:07:07,470
No, that's Google.

3846
02:07:07,470 --> 02:07:08,370
That's not Gemini.

3847
02:07:08,490 --> 02:07:10,010
It's called Microsoft something else.

3848
02:07:10,170 --> 02:07:10,530
Copilot?

3849
02:07:11,230 --> 02:07:11,950
No, no.

3850
02:07:12,070 --> 02:07:13,070
It's a whole separate…

3851
02:07:13,070 --> 02:07:17,710
Yeah, type in the Google search, Microsoft AI

3852
02:07:17,710 --> 02:07:18,930
art generator.

3853
02:07:19,910 --> 02:07:21,490
And you'll find it.

3854
02:07:22,370 --> 02:07:22,770
Okay.

3855
02:07:26,410 --> 02:07:28,030
Create.Microsoft.com.

3856
02:07:28,470 --> 02:07:29,370
That could be it, yeah.

3857
02:07:29,670 --> 02:07:31,450
Free AI image generator.

3858
02:07:31,670 --> 02:07:32,610
They're giving it away.

3859
02:07:33,050 --> 02:07:34,250
It's so cheap to run.

3860
02:07:34,430 --> 02:07:35,750
They're giving it away to the government.

3861
02:07:35,890 --> 02:07:36,930
They're giving it away to us.

3862
02:07:37,130 --> 02:07:38,830
I guess it's such a great product that

3863
02:07:38,830 --> 02:07:40,330
no one wants to pay money for it.

3864
02:07:40,930 --> 02:07:41,750
But that's one of them.

3865
02:07:41,770 --> 02:07:42,790
But there's other ones, too.

3866
02:07:42,790 --> 02:07:44,470
I don't know what the artists here are

3867
02:07:44,470 --> 02:07:46,250
doing, what they're using, but I've used that

3868
02:07:46,250 --> 02:07:46,990
for a lot of things.

3869
02:07:47,030 --> 02:07:47,870
It worked quite well.

3870
02:07:49,630 --> 02:07:51,630
Well, we always look forward to seeing what

3871
02:07:51,630 --> 02:07:52,730
you come up with so far.

3872
02:07:52,830 --> 02:07:55,030
Nothing I've seen is really catching me for

3873
02:07:55,030 --> 02:07:56,190
today's episode.

3874
02:07:56,390 --> 02:07:58,070
But, you know, the night is still young.

3875
02:07:59,090 --> 02:08:00,750
Of course, we always want to thank our

3876
02:08:00,750 --> 02:08:03,850
producers who support us with financial donations through

3877
02:08:03,850 --> 02:08:05,630
noagendadonations.com.

3878
02:08:05,930 --> 02:08:08,090
We thank everybody who comes in with $50

3879
02:08:08,090 --> 02:08:08,870
or above.

3880
02:08:08,990 --> 02:08:11,230
We love the sustaining donations, people who just

3881
02:08:11,230 --> 02:08:14,070
set it on auto, repeat any amount, any

3882
02:08:14,070 --> 02:08:14,550
frequency.

3883
02:08:14,710 --> 02:08:16,370
You can do it every week, every month,

3884
02:08:16,450 --> 02:08:18,690
every three months, every year, whatever works for

3885
02:08:18,690 --> 02:08:18,870
you.

3886
02:08:19,010 --> 02:08:21,530
Whatever value you get out of this program,

3887
02:08:21,670 --> 02:08:23,190
send it back to us and we'll gladly

3888
02:08:23,190 --> 02:08:24,670
thank you as an extra bonus.

3889
02:08:24,890 --> 02:08:26,750
For those who are fortunate enough to support

3890
02:08:26,750 --> 02:08:28,810
us with $200 or more for an episode,

3891
02:08:29,170 --> 02:08:31,870
not only do we read your note within

3892
02:08:31,870 --> 02:08:34,910
reason, although sometimes just people take advantage of

3893
02:08:34,910 --> 02:08:37,630
our kindness, we also give you a title

3894
02:08:37,630 --> 02:08:40,350
of Associate Executive Producer, which means you become

3895
02:08:40,350 --> 02:08:43,650
a member of Hollywood, automatically, just from us,

3896
02:08:43,730 --> 02:08:45,630
because, first of all, we have that authority.

3897
02:08:45,810 --> 02:08:47,570
It's on the authority of Dana Brunetti.

3898
02:08:48,450 --> 02:08:51,490
And he's also a No Agenda Associate Executive

3899
02:08:51,490 --> 02:08:51,870
Producer.

3900
02:08:52,710 --> 02:08:54,330
Couldn't afford Executive Producer.

3901
02:08:54,570 --> 02:08:55,870
Yeah, he sends you a nasty note for

3902
02:08:55,870 --> 02:08:56,270
saying that.

3903
02:08:56,410 --> 02:08:57,330
No, he will not.

3904
02:08:58,330 --> 02:09:00,030
Yeah, but thank you for your attention to

3905
02:09:00,030 --> 02:09:00,510
this matter.

3906
02:09:01,170 --> 02:09:01,810
He's a suit.

3907
02:09:02,330 --> 02:09:03,490
He's a total suit.

3908
02:09:03,670 --> 02:09:06,150
With a Tesla, with a Tesla truck, with

3909
02:09:06,150 --> 02:09:07,530
a Tesla Cybertruck.

3910
02:09:08,670 --> 02:09:09,450
That's a suit.

3911
02:09:09,630 --> 02:09:11,130
That's something a suit would drive.

3912
02:09:11,130 --> 02:09:11,730
Total suit.

3913
02:09:12,050 --> 02:09:13,910
Does he wear cowboy boots when he steps

3914
02:09:13,910 --> 02:09:14,590
out of them, too?

3915
02:09:16,050 --> 02:09:18,890
But you can use these credits at imdb

3916
02:09:18,890 --> 02:09:19,430
.com.

3917
02:09:19,510 --> 02:09:21,290
And $300 or above, we also read your

3918
02:09:21,290 --> 02:09:22,730
note, and you become an Executive Producer.

3919
02:09:23,150 --> 02:09:25,110
And many people, over time, become knights and

3920
02:09:25,110 --> 02:09:27,710
dames of the No Agenda Roundtable, the upgrade

3921
02:09:27,710 --> 02:09:28,730
throughout the peerage ladder.

3922
02:09:28,830 --> 02:09:29,730
It's a great system.

3923
02:09:30,190 --> 02:09:32,450
You'll see these dame and knight rings all

3924
02:09:32,450 --> 02:09:34,290
over the place, especially at No Agenda meetups.

3925
02:09:34,370 --> 02:09:36,590
And we start off today by thanking Sir

3926
02:09:36,590 --> 02:09:38,490
Stephen from Sisterdale, Texas.

3927
02:09:38,590 --> 02:09:40,190
A lot of Texans supporting us these days.

3928
02:09:40,270 --> 02:09:40,750
We love it.

3929
02:09:41,830 --> 02:09:45,590
333.33. He says, no note or native

3930
02:09:45,590 --> 02:09:46,130
ad.

3931
02:09:46,970 --> 02:09:47,250
Sir Stephen.

3932
02:09:47,250 --> 02:09:47,830
That's not right.

3933
02:09:47,890 --> 02:09:48,690
What about Bowman?

3934
02:09:50,310 --> 02:09:51,330
No, but he's...

3935
02:09:51,330 --> 02:09:52,350
What do you mean, Bowman?

3936
02:09:53,190 --> 02:09:54,210
What are you talking about?

3937
02:09:54,670 --> 02:09:55,750
He's at the top of the list.

3938
02:09:55,870 --> 02:09:56,190
I don't...

3939
02:09:56,190 --> 02:09:57,210
Sir Stephen's second.

3940
02:09:57,210 --> 02:09:58,010
Oh, I'm sorry.

3941
02:09:58,070 --> 02:09:58,870
I don't see Bowman.

3942
02:09:59,410 --> 02:09:59,890
Now I do.

3943
02:09:59,970 --> 02:10:00,270
You don't have Bowman?

3944
02:10:00,270 --> 02:10:00,870
No, I do.

3945
02:10:01,030 --> 02:10:01,350
I do.

3946
02:10:01,910 --> 02:10:03,610
Let me retract that.

3947
02:10:04,530 --> 02:10:05,330
I'll cut it out.

3948
02:10:05,410 --> 02:10:06,270
No one will know the difference.

3949
02:10:06,270 --> 02:10:07,330
No, they will.

3950
02:10:07,570 --> 02:10:08,030
No, no, watch.

3951
02:10:08,170 --> 02:10:08,690
I'll start over.

3952
02:10:09,310 --> 02:10:09,790
And...

3953
02:10:09,790 --> 02:10:10,270
Quiet.

3954
02:10:10,470 --> 02:10:12,350
I'm trying to start with a clean edit.

3955
02:10:13,030 --> 02:10:13,310
What?

3956
02:10:15,010 --> 02:10:16,630
And at the top of our list, we

3957
02:10:16,630 --> 02:10:16,990
find...

3958
02:10:16,990 --> 02:10:17,450
Stop.

3959
02:10:17,950 --> 02:10:20,570
Bowman McMahon from Utopia, Texas.

3960
02:10:22,430 --> 02:10:26,210
$350.58, which may be 333.33 plus

3961
02:10:26,210 --> 02:10:26,510
fees.

3962
02:10:26,550 --> 02:10:28,930
And he says, thank y'all for y

3963
02:10:28,930 --> 02:10:29,890
'all's courage.

3964
02:10:30,230 --> 02:10:31,470
And we thank you, sir.

3965
02:10:33,130 --> 02:10:34,490
I'm going to get the next two.

3966
02:10:34,490 --> 02:10:37,490
Sir Stephen and Sister Dale.

3967
02:10:38,530 --> 02:10:40,230
But you've got some weird town names.

3968
02:10:40,350 --> 02:10:42,930
You've got Utopia, Sister Dale.

3969
02:10:43,910 --> 02:10:44,430
Oh, okay.

3970
02:10:45,030 --> 02:10:47,570
It was Sister Nancy, but Sister Dale?

3971
02:10:49,230 --> 02:10:53,530
Texas, 333.33. Again, no native ad.

3972
02:10:53,770 --> 02:10:55,830
Sir Stephen from Sister Dale.

3973
02:10:56,130 --> 02:10:57,790
Oh, by the way, it's K-A-5

3974
02:10:57,790 --> 02:10:59,690
-W-J-Y-73.

3975
02:10:59,990 --> 02:11:00,610
73's.

3976
02:11:00,610 --> 02:11:03,950
Jim Coleman in Moscow, Idaho.

3977
02:11:03,950 --> 02:11:06,290
333.33. And both...

3978
02:11:06,290 --> 02:11:08,010
I think we should get a double up

3979
02:11:08,010 --> 02:11:09,150
karma for the two of them.

3980
02:11:09,270 --> 02:11:10,430
All right, here we go.

3981
02:11:10,610 --> 02:11:12,170
You've got...

3982
02:11:13,310 --> 02:11:13,950
Karma.

3983
02:11:14,510 --> 02:11:19,510
And coming in with $300.03 from Jackson,

3984
02:11:19,690 --> 02:11:22,410
Tennessee, Duke, Sir Dr. Sharky.

3985
02:11:22,750 --> 02:11:25,530
Dear Dynamic Duo, AKA Triple D.

3986
02:11:26,530 --> 02:11:29,410
In this era of curated narratives and performative

3987
02:11:29,410 --> 02:11:33,130
truth-telling, your tireless excavation of reality from

3988
02:11:33,130 --> 02:11:37,410
beneath the sedimentary layers of what the M5M

3989
02:11:37,410 --> 02:11:40,650
spoon feeds the public remains nothing short of

3990
02:11:40,650 --> 02:11:43,850
a public service, nay, a humanitarian intervention.

3991
02:11:45,070 --> 02:11:48,350
While others wallow in the shallow puddles of

3992
02:11:48,350 --> 02:11:49,830
prepackaged information...

3993
02:11:49,830 --> 02:11:52,130
This is not AI, by the way.

3994
02:11:52,210 --> 02:11:53,250
This is actually quite good.

3995
02:11:53,470 --> 02:11:55,150
This is some cornball guy.

3996
02:11:55,250 --> 02:11:55,790
This is great.

3997
02:11:55,910 --> 02:11:58,670
You two plunge headlong into the abyss, armed

3998
02:11:58,670 --> 02:12:01,450
only with discernment and an irreverent allergy to

3999
02:12:01,450 --> 02:12:02,070
propaganda.

4000
02:12:02,070 --> 02:12:05,830
Through my recent geographic relocation has carried me

4001
02:12:05,830 --> 02:12:07,850
west of the mighty Mississippi River, which, as

4002
02:12:07,850 --> 02:12:09,610
you well know, is not merely a body

4003
02:12:09,610 --> 02:12:12,230
of water, but a symbolic demarcation between the

4004
02:12:12,230 --> 02:12:14,190
conventional and the truly unhinged.

4005
02:12:14,550 --> 02:12:17,470
Your sage counsel is not diminished in necessity.

4006
02:12:17,990 --> 02:12:20,250
If anything, it has metastasized into a form

4007
02:12:20,250 --> 02:12:21,290
of existential sustenance.

4008
02:12:22,310 --> 02:12:25,250
Out here, amidst the tumbleweeds of consensus reality,

4009
02:12:25,650 --> 02:12:28,450
your uncompromising dissections of the official line are

4010
02:12:28,450 --> 02:12:29,470
needed more than ever.

4011
02:12:29,470 --> 02:12:32,610
So continue, noble guardians of the truth, to

4012
02:12:32,610 --> 02:12:35,490
chart the contours of deception and illuminate the

4013
02:12:35,490 --> 02:12:38,590
dark recesses where inconvenient facts go to die.

4014
02:12:38,930 --> 02:12:41,130
The republic may not know it, but it

4015
02:12:41,130 --> 02:12:42,930
is already in your debt.

4016
02:12:43,490 --> 02:12:48,150
With reluctant admiration and entirely justified skepticism, Duke

4017
02:12:48,150 --> 02:12:50,870
Sir Dr. Sharkey, St. Peter's, Missouri.

4018
02:12:51,590 --> 02:12:52,170
Nice.

4019
02:12:52,930 --> 02:12:54,190
That's a great note.

4020
02:12:54,310 --> 02:12:55,070
Yeah, it's a good one.

4021
02:12:55,490 --> 02:12:55,890
Well written.

4022
02:12:56,910 --> 02:12:58,570
Yeah, well, it's definitely flowery.

4023
02:12:58,570 --> 02:13:01,430
In these days of AI, you can't get

4024
02:13:01,430 --> 02:13:03,570
an AI to write something like that.

4025
02:13:04,750 --> 02:13:05,190
Yet.

4026
02:13:06,870 --> 02:13:08,150
Brought to you by Colgate.

4027
02:13:08,410 --> 02:13:08,530
Okay.

4028
02:13:10,090 --> 02:13:10,530
Yet.

4029
02:13:10,750 --> 02:13:11,090
Yet.

4030
02:13:11,510 --> 02:13:11,950
Colgate.

4031
02:13:13,050 --> 02:13:13,470
Yeah.

4032
02:13:14,270 --> 02:13:15,650
You know, you could go for a good

4033
02:13:15,650 --> 02:13:16,890
Coca-Cola right now.

4034
02:13:17,150 --> 02:13:17,310
I know.

4035
02:13:17,450 --> 02:13:19,010
All of a sudden, I feel like a

4036
02:13:19,010 --> 02:13:19,570
Coca-Cola.

4037
02:13:19,710 --> 02:13:20,210
That's right.

4038
02:13:20,410 --> 02:13:23,390
Chase McCarthy in Savannah, Georgia, 300.

4039
02:13:23,610 --> 02:13:25,810
He says, a reminder from a rubalizer.

4040
02:13:25,810 --> 02:13:30,030
If Adam and John receive 10 rubalizer donations

4041
02:13:30,030 --> 02:13:35,470
before July 2026, each rubalizer will receive a

4042
02:13:35,470 --> 02:13:37,610
challenge coin or a tote bag.

4043
02:13:38,550 --> 02:13:41,290
There are five rubalizers to date.

4044
02:13:41,730 --> 02:13:43,690
I think you need to nail that down.

4045
02:13:43,910 --> 02:13:45,450
I think a challenge coin is great.

4046
02:13:45,630 --> 02:13:48,630
Tote bag, you know, it's a tote bag.

4047
02:13:49,190 --> 02:13:51,510
Well, is he going to do this?

4048
02:13:51,610 --> 02:13:53,910
Is Charles, I'm sorry, Chase?

4049
02:13:53,970 --> 02:13:54,810
I believe he is.

4050
02:13:54,810 --> 02:13:56,810
Chase McCarthy in Savannah, Georgia, is he going

4051
02:13:56,810 --> 02:13:58,870
to be the guardian of the tote bag

4052
02:13:58,870 --> 02:13:59,730
and challenge coin?

4053
02:13:59,890 --> 02:14:00,650
I believe so.

4054
02:14:01,950 --> 02:14:03,770
For every rubalizer donation?

4055
02:14:04,470 --> 02:14:05,830
And there's five so far?

4056
02:14:06,290 --> 02:14:06,590
Yes.

4057
02:14:07,150 --> 02:14:07,890
What's a rubalizer?

4058
02:14:08,070 --> 02:14:09,070
Isn't that, what is that?

4059
02:14:09,390 --> 02:14:14,970
3,333.33. And there's been five of

4060
02:14:14,970 --> 02:14:15,170
those?

4061
02:14:15,210 --> 02:14:16,490
Yeah, of which he is one.

4062
02:14:18,070 --> 02:14:19,390
So have some respect.

4063
02:14:20,170 --> 02:14:21,490
I've got plenty of respect.

4064
02:14:21,630 --> 02:14:22,510
I think that's fabulous.

4065
02:14:22,510 --> 02:14:24,130
Good idea.

4066
02:14:25,310 --> 02:14:27,530
On to our first associate executive producer coming

4067
02:14:27,530 --> 02:14:31,650
in with the Bitcoins, Baron Surfer, 202.02.

4068
02:14:33,690 --> 02:14:39,050
And he, I think he's being upgraded, I

4069
02:14:39,050 --> 02:14:42,310
guess, to a Baron, requested territory, Baron of

4070
02:14:42,310 --> 02:14:43,210
Shasta County.

4071
02:14:43,950 --> 02:14:46,890
Keep up the deconstruction and rubalization reports.

4072
02:14:47,090 --> 02:14:48,890
Shout out to Todd, Knight of the High

4073
02:14:48,890 --> 02:14:50,750
Altitude Aluminum Tubes.

4074
02:14:50,750 --> 02:14:52,310
He may be overboard.

4075
02:14:52,670 --> 02:14:53,730
Well, we hope not.

4076
02:14:53,810 --> 02:14:54,910
Thank you, Baron Surfer.

4077
02:14:55,810 --> 02:14:58,670
We also have a Baron that's claimed, this

4078
02:14:58,670 --> 02:15:00,290
was a mistake Jay made.

4079
02:15:00,570 --> 02:15:00,710
Oh?

4080
02:15:01,350 --> 02:15:04,870
We do not call people Black Barons.

4081
02:15:05,530 --> 02:15:07,210
Oh, yeah, I saw it on the list,

4082
02:15:07,330 --> 02:15:07,510
yeah.

4083
02:15:08,410 --> 02:15:10,310
He's on it, but he was accidentally put

4084
02:15:10,310 --> 02:15:11,530
on the list as a Black Baron.

4085
02:15:11,630 --> 02:15:14,210
Yeah, no, I think she put it differently.

4086
02:15:14,810 --> 02:15:16,350
No, no, she put it that way.

4087
02:15:16,550 --> 02:15:16,990
She did?

4088
02:15:18,070 --> 02:15:19,850
She called me this morning and said, I

4089
02:15:19,850 --> 02:15:22,370
forgot the second note, and she said I

4090
02:15:22,370 --> 02:15:24,030
put Black Baron on the list.

4091
02:15:24,430 --> 02:15:25,750
She didn't want to send out a Redux

4092
02:15:25,750 --> 02:15:26,050
list.

4093
02:15:26,230 --> 02:15:27,970
It's a baronet, baronet.

4094
02:15:29,250 --> 02:15:30,330
Was it a baronet?

4095
02:15:30,430 --> 02:15:31,190
I thought it was a baron.

4096
02:15:31,310 --> 02:15:32,210
No, baronet.

4097
02:15:33,610 --> 02:15:34,450
Well, that's interesting.

4098
02:15:34,850 --> 02:15:36,510
Well, whatever the case is.

4099
02:15:37,150 --> 02:15:40,030
We have Baron Surfer.

4100
02:15:40,750 --> 02:15:42,150
Oh, that's the one you just did, sorry.

4101
02:15:42,270 --> 02:15:44,210
Linda Lou Patkin, oh, that's even better.

4102
02:15:44,210 --> 02:15:46,530
She's in Lakewood, Colorado, 200 bucks and says

4103
02:15:46,530 --> 02:15:47,250
jobs karma.

4104
02:15:47,910 --> 02:15:49,190
Worried about AI?

4105
02:15:49,730 --> 02:15:49,830
Yeah.

4106
02:15:49,950 --> 02:15:52,870
For a resume that gets results, Adam is

4107
02:15:52,870 --> 02:15:54,270
worried about AI.

4108
02:15:54,470 --> 02:15:54,910
Very worried.

4109
02:15:54,910 --> 02:15:55,370
He's worried.

4110
02:15:55,550 --> 02:15:56,250
I'm very worried.

4111
02:15:57,470 --> 02:15:59,630
He's so worried that he has an AI

4112
02:15:59,630 --> 02:16:03,330
avatar woman on his computer now that's part

4113
02:16:03,330 --> 02:16:04,050
of the show.

4114
02:16:05,310 --> 02:16:06,570
In what case you keel over.

4115
02:16:06,650 --> 02:16:08,070
We can just continue seamlessly.

4116
02:16:08,070 --> 02:16:13,110
For a resume that gets results, Linda writes

4117
02:16:13,110 --> 02:16:16,670
and tells you a unique story and highlights

4118
02:16:16,670 --> 02:16:18,170
the value you bring.

4119
02:16:18,610 --> 02:16:21,090
Go to ImageMakersInc.com.

4120
02:16:21,970 --> 02:16:24,550
That's ImageMakersInc, I-N-K with a K,

4121
02:16:25,410 --> 02:16:27,250
and work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs

4122
02:16:27,250 --> 02:16:29,630
and writer of winning resumes.

4123
02:16:30,090 --> 02:16:33,490
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4124
02:16:33,670 --> 02:16:35,170
Let's vote for jobs.

4125
02:16:35,950 --> 02:16:36,209
Karma.

4126
02:16:38,709 --> 02:16:41,910
And our final associate executive producer with $200

4127
02:16:41,910 --> 02:16:46,670
goes to Mark Kucharski, Kucharski, I think, Kucharski,

4128
02:16:46,770 --> 02:16:47,650
Kucharski, Kucharski.

4129
02:16:47,809 --> 02:16:48,530
I got it.

4130
02:16:48,610 --> 02:16:51,049
Mark Kucharski, Aurora, Colorado, 200.

4131
02:16:51,809 --> 02:16:53,209
ITM, Sir Red Devil here.

4132
02:16:53,330 --> 02:16:54,650
Thanks for the media deconstruction.

4133
02:16:54,730 --> 02:16:56,850
I'd like to request TPP jobs karma from

4134
02:16:56,850 --> 02:16:59,350
my son, Nick, and a yak karma.

4135
02:16:59,889 --> 02:17:00,790
Keep up the good work.

4136
02:17:00,969 --> 02:17:04,209
Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs.

4137
02:17:04,209 --> 02:17:04,930
Jobs, jobs.

4138
02:17:08,190 --> 02:17:12,549
You've got karma.

4139
02:17:12,990 --> 02:17:14,910
Nothing like a yak in the morning.

4140
02:17:15,010 --> 02:17:17,469
That concludes our executive and associate executive producers

4141
02:17:17,469 --> 02:17:22,010
for episode, what are we at, 1790.

4142
02:17:22,850 --> 02:17:23,370
1790.

4143
02:17:23,670 --> 02:17:24,190
1790.

4144
02:17:24,370 --> 02:17:25,750
We are moving along, people.

4145
02:17:26,330 --> 02:17:28,030
And, of course, we want to thank everyone

4146
02:17:28,030 --> 02:17:28,809
who came in.

4147
02:17:29,209 --> 02:17:31,850
$50 or above, we will actually name you

4148
02:17:31,850 --> 02:17:34,110
and your location in our second segment.

4149
02:17:34,110 --> 02:17:37,250
And, once again, these titles are good forever

4150
02:17:37,250 --> 02:17:38,330
for the rest of your life.

4151
02:17:38,469 --> 02:17:41,690
And, of course, are usable wherever credits of

4152
02:17:41,690 --> 02:17:44,510
the Hollywood nature are recognized, including imdb.com.

Congratulations.

4158
02:17:53,309 --> 02:17:55,549
Our formula is this.

4159
02:17:57,680 --> 02:17:58,840
We hit people in the mouth.

4160
02:18:02,180 --> 02:18:02,740
You.

4161
02:18:04,180 --> 02:18:04,740
Order.

4162
02:18:06,219 --> 02:18:06,780
Order.

4163
02:18:07,360 --> 02:18:08,540
Shut up, brain.

4164
02:18:09,719 --> 02:18:11,420
Shut up, sleep.

4165
02:18:13,260 --> 02:18:15,400
Doodly-doo, doodly-dee.

4166
02:18:15,500 --> 02:18:16,420
I have an Ask Adam.

4167
02:18:17,219 --> 02:18:18,780
Oh, you didn't tell me you had an

4168
02:18:18,780 --> 02:18:20,340
Ask Adam, and I don't see it on

4169
02:18:20,340 --> 02:18:20,900
the list.

4170
02:18:21,639 --> 02:18:23,120
Otherwise, I might have been prepared.

4171
02:18:24,240 --> 02:18:26,980
What would you mean by playing a jingle

4172
02:18:26,980 --> 02:18:28,600
that has something to do with Ask Adam?

4173
02:18:29,920 --> 02:18:30,879
Ask Adam.

4174
02:18:31,420 --> 02:18:32,580
Answer the question, go.

4175
02:18:32,799 --> 02:18:34,100
All right, I'm ready to answer the question,

4176
02:18:34,200 --> 02:18:34,440
go.

4177
02:18:34,840 --> 02:18:39,080
Okay, this is under the, it's Dog Ask

4178
02:18:39,080 --> 02:18:39,320
Adam.

4179
02:18:39,840 --> 02:18:40,940
Oh, I didn't even see it.

4180
02:18:40,959 --> 02:18:41,299
Question.

4181
02:18:41,639 --> 02:18:44,299
All right, Dog Ask Adam question.

4182
02:18:44,840 --> 02:18:46,740
I can tell you where all of my

4183
02:18:46,740 --> 02:18:49,040
dog's various nicknames come from.

4184
02:18:49,040 --> 02:18:52,080
But the word dog itself, well, its origins

4185
02:18:52,080 --> 02:18:53,299
are a bit more mysterious.

4186
02:18:53,840 --> 02:18:55,059
As part of our Word of the Week

4187
02:18:55,059 --> 02:18:57,139
series, here's NPR's Julianna Kim.

4188
02:18:57,400 --> 02:19:00,379
For centuries, dog wasn't the go-to word

4189
02:19:00,379 --> 02:19:02,120
for the four-legged creature.

4190
02:19:03,559 --> 02:19:04,520
Ask Adam.

4191
02:19:05,139 --> 02:19:06,180
Answer the question, go.

4192
02:19:06,340 --> 02:19:07,820
I'll answer the question as soon as I

4193
02:19:07,820 --> 02:19:08,799
know what the question is.

4194
02:19:09,299 --> 02:19:11,480
The question is, what were dogs called before

4195
02:19:11,480 --> 02:19:12,559
they were called dogs?

4196
02:19:14,420 --> 02:19:17,940
That's a recent, calling them dogs is recent.

4197
02:19:18,160 --> 02:19:20,160
It's not an old, it hasn't been around

4198
02:19:20,160 --> 02:19:20,459
forever.

4199
02:19:20,660 --> 02:19:21,080
Okay, let me get this.

4200
02:19:21,540 --> 02:19:24,100
So what were dogs called before they were

4201
02:19:24,100 --> 02:19:25,020
called dogs?

4202
02:19:25,360 --> 02:19:26,500
Not looking anything up.

4203
02:19:27,639 --> 02:19:28,040
Hmm.

4204
02:19:29,600 --> 02:19:31,959
What were dogs called before, hound?

4205
02:19:33,100 --> 02:19:33,500
Ah.

4206
02:19:34,719 --> 02:19:36,139
Did I nail it?

4207
02:19:36,160 --> 02:19:36,879
Did I nail it?

4208
02:19:37,540 --> 02:19:38,900
You, first time ever.

4209
02:19:38,900 --> 02:19:42,440
Before the 16th century, hound or hund in

4210
02:19:42,440 --> 02:19:42,920
Old English.

4211
02:19:42,920 --> 02:19:45,879
Hund, of course, hund, schweinhund.

4212
02:19:46,100 --> 02:19:48,700
Is the catch-all term to describe domesticated

4213
02:19:48,700 --> 02:19:49,400
canines.

4214
02:19:49,820 --> 02:19:52,160
That doesn't mean the word dog didn't exist

4215
02:19:52,160 --> 02:19:52,780
at the time.

4216
02:19:53,120 --> 02:19:55,340
It appeared in land charters and place names

4217
02:19:55,340 --> 02:19:55,860
and then.

4218
02:19:55,960 --> 02:19:58,320
The first time we have dog in a

4219
02:19:58,320 --> 02:20:01,200
literary text, it's referring to people and calling

4220
02:20:01,200 --> 02:20:02,660
them dogs to insult them.

4221
02:20:02,780 --> 02:20:05,080
That's Colin Gorey, a linguist who's written about

4222
02:20:05,080 --> 02:20:06,420
the origin of the word dog.

4223
02:20:06,420 --> 02:20:08,980
He says during the period of Middle English,

4224
02:20:09,220 --> 02:20:11,900
roughly between 1100 and 1450.

4225
02:20:12,240 --> 02:20:15,600
You start to see more, more instances of

4226
02:20:15,600 --> 02:20:17,580
this dog were showing up and they're often

4227
02:20:17,580 --> 02:20:18,360
derogatory.

4228
02:20:18,640 --> 02:20:21,400
But over time, Gorey says the positive emotions

4229
02:20:21,400 --> 02:20:24,180
people felt toward dogs eclipsed some of the

4230
02:20:24,180 --> 02:20:25,540
words negative charge.

4231
02:20:25,840 --> 02:20:29,040
I think that it's very possible that the

4232
02:20:29,040 --> 02:20:31,540
same word that you use as an insult,

4233
02:20:31,680 --> 02:20:34,220
you can repurpose as a term of affection.

4234
02:20:34,220 --> 02:20:37,080
It eventually replaced hound as the standard term

4235
02:20:37,080 --> 02:20:38,480
we use for the pet today.

4236
02:20:39,060 --> 02:20:41,260
The mystery lies in where the word dog

4237
02:20:41,260 --> 02:20:42,500
actually came from.

4238
02:20:42,500 --> 02:20:43,120
Yes, that's the mystery.

4239
02:20:43,160 --> 02:20:45,020
Gorey says one theory is that it comes

4240
02:20:45,020 --> 02:20:47,120
from the Old English term docks.

4241
02:20:47,340 --> 02:20:49,760
It's not entirely clear what it meant, but

4242
02:20:49,760 --> 02:20:52,940
it probably meant something like dark or golden

4243
02:20:52,940 --> 02:20:53,640
or yellow.

4244
02:20:53,880 --> 02:20:56,080
He adds that another possibility is that it's

4245
02:20:56,080 --> 02:20:57,760
related to the Old English word.

4246
02:20:57,760 --> 02:21:02,980
D-U-G-A-N, which means to

4247
02:21:02,980 --> 02:21:05,640
be good or to be to be good

4248
02:21:05,640 --> 02:21:05,960
enough.

4249
02:21:06,640 --> 02:21:09,140
Part of the difficulty in tracing the origin

4250
02:21:09,140 --> 02:21:10,860
is that dogs have been part of human

4251
02:21:10,860 --> 02:21:13,400
life for a very long time, according to

4252
02:21:13,400 --> 02:21:13,800
Gorey.

4253
02:21:14,140 --> 02:21:16,060
That's true for other common words.

4254
02:21:16,440 --> 02:21:19,260
So example with other than dog would be

4255
02:21:19,260 --> 02:21:20,900
boy, girl.

4256
02:21:21,680 --> 02:21:23,200
She, the pronoun she.

4257
02:21:23,500 --> 02:21:25,540
Gorey says the word we use today to

4258
02:21:25,540 --> 02:21:28,140
describe dogs may evolve in the future as

4259
02:21:28,140 --> 02:21:30,380
people continue to generate new pet names.

4260
02:21:30,800 --> 02:21:32,700
He says it's a testament to how much

4261
02:21:32,700 --> 02:21:34,520
we adore our four legged friends.

4262
02:21:34,880 --> 02:21:36,900
The more you know in the morning.

4263
02:21:37,720 --> 02:21:41,200
Oh man, that's worth a donation right there.

4264
02:21:41,240 --> 02:21:42,240
That was educational.

4265
02:21:42,340 --> 02:21:43,620
It's totally educational.

4266
02:21:44,920 --> 02:21:46,420
I do my part.

4267
02:21:46,420 --> 02:21:49,000
But the the hound part is only because

4268
02:21:49,000 --> 02:21:50,320
in Dutch is Holt.

4269
02:21:50,980 --> 02:21:52,200
In German, Hund.

4270
02:21:52,820 --> 02:21:54,260
In French, Chien.

4271
02:21:55,900 --> 02:21:56,500
Chien.

4272
02:21:56,880 --> 02:21:58,960
Foofy, foofy, the poodle, Chien.

4273
02:22:00,020 --> 02:22:00,620
Chien.

4274
02:22:00,820 --> 02:22:01,120
Chien.

4275
02:22:01,360 --> 02:22:03,780
But wow, it's raining.

4276
02:22:04,340 --> 02:22:06,000
I got blue skies out the window.

4277
02:22:06,060 --> 02:22:07,560
It's going to be raining today.

4278
02:22:07,560 --> 02:22:12,560
It seems like a lot of podcast land,

4279
02:22:12,760 --> 02:22:16,780
you know, the podcast industrial complex is obsessed

4280
02:22:16,780 --> 02:22:17,860
with the feud.

4281
02:22:18,020 --> 02:22:18,840
The feud.

4282
02:22:19,840 --> 02:22:20,320
Feud?

4283
02:22:20,500 --> 02:22:21,180
Yeah, the feud.

4284
02:22:21,480 --> 02:22:22,020
You don't know about the feud?

4285
02:22:22,020 --> 02:22:23,300
I don't know anything about the feud.

4286
02:22:23,420 --> 02:22:24,100
The feud?

4287
02:22:24,560 --> 02:22:24,940
Yes.

4288
02:22:25,140 --> 02:22:29,940
Between Nick Fuentes, Cameron, not Cameron.

4289
02:22:31,980 --> 02:22:32,780
What's her name?

4290
02:22:32,940 --> 02:22:33,440
Black girl.

4291
02:22:35,720 --> 02:22:36,680
Candace Owens.

4292
02:22:36,680 --> 02:22:37,780
Candace Owens.

4293
02:22:38,520 --> 02:22:39,600
Tucker Carlson.

4294
02:22:40,380 --> 02:22:41,620
There, you know, Megyn Kelly.

4295
02:22:41,860 --> 02:22:42,100
There's a feud?

4296
02:22:42,820 --> 02:22:48,000
Yeah, because, you know, Fuentes came on Candace's

4297
02:22:48,000 --> 02:22:48,580
show.

4298
02:22:49,240 --> 02:22:51,760
And then, you know, he was mad at

4299
02:22:51,760 --> 02:22:53,560
how he treated her.

4300
02:22:54,200 --> 02:22:54,920
And then she said.

4301
02:22:55,140 --> 02:22:55,520
Who was mad?

4302
02:22:56,000 --> 02:22:56,560
Fuentes.

4303
02:22:57,000 --> 02:22:57,680
Nick Fuentes.

4304
02:22:58,300 --> 02:22:59,140
He was mad at.

4305
02:22:59,540 --> 02:23:00,560
At Candace.

4306
02:23:00,700 --> 02:23:02,820
And then Candace went on Tucker and said,

4307
02:23:02,940 --> 02:23:04,480
the guy's unhinged.

4308
02:23:04,480 --> 02:23:05,440
And then Nick Fuentes.

4309
02:23:05,440 --> 02:23:06,480
Oh, this sounds like bullcrap.

4310
02:23:06,560 --> 02:23:08,100
This sounds like a fake feud.

4311
02:23:09,140 --> 02:23:15,480
Well, interestingly, Nick Fuentes, he has, he's been

4312
02:23:15,480 --> 02:23:16,500
going on rants.

4313
02:23:16,620 --> 02:23:19,140
And I just can't not share this one

4314
02:23:19,140 --> 02:23:22,760
because he shows that all of this.

4315
02:23:23,440 --> 02:23:29,440
Tucker, Candace, Bannon, Elon, Trump.

4316
02:23:30,360 --> 02:23:33,280
It's all because of the Jews, man.

4317
02:23:33,280 --> 02:23:38,000
Peter Thiel, the FBI informant and CIA contractor.

4318
02:23:38,700 --> 02:23:43,020
Elon Musk, the defense contractor and PayPal Mafia

4319
02:23:43,020 --> 02:23:46,240
member with Peter Thiel, close confidant of David

4320
02:23:46,240 --> 02:23:46,640
Sachs.

4321
02:23:47,140 --> 02:23:49,740
And J.D. Vance, who brokered the David

4322
02:23:49,740 --> 02:23:52,540
Sachs fundraiser with Silicon Valley and Trump.

4323
02:23:52,940 --> 02:23:54,660
Mentored by Peter Thiel.

4324
02:23:55,120 --> 02:23:57,880
Mentored by David Frum, who worked for Bill

4325
02:23:57,880 --> 02:23:59,540
Kristol with Tucker Carlson.

4326
02:24:00,600 --> 02:24:03,980
Thiel, Musk, and Tucker lobbied Trump to pick

4327
02:24:03,980 --> 02:24:04,420
Vance.

4328
02:24:04,620 --> 02:24:06,760
And they said, if you don't, the CIA

4329
02:24:06,760 --> 02:24:07,960
will kill you.

4330
02:24:08,460 --> 02:24:09,220
Who's the CIA?

4331
02:24:09,720 --> 02:24:13,380
Who does the CIA, NSA, FBI, DHS, who

4332
02:24:13,380 --> 02:24:14,660
do they all contract with?

4333
02:24:15,200 --> 02:24:18,920
Palantir, Palantir, founded by Peter Thiel and Alex

4334
02:24:18,920 --> 02:24:20,100
Karp and Joe Lonsdale.

4335
02:24:20,100 --> 02:24:23,820
Israel First Jews, that after October 7th, flew

4336
02:24:23,820 --> 02:24:26,180
their board to Israel and provided them with

4337
02:24:26,180 --> 02:24:29,680
facial recognition technology to murder Palestinians.

4338
02:24:30,500 --> 02:24:33,620
J.D. Vance, who upon becoming the VP

4339
02:24:33,620 --> 02:24:36,600
nominee in his first interview said, we're going

4340
02:24:36,600 --> 02:24:37,480
to bomb Iran.

4341
02:24:37,760 --> 02:24:40,220
Who went to the Quincy Institute and said,

4342
02:24:40,440 --> 02:24:42,740
we need a pro-Israel spin on America

4343
02:24:42,740 --> 02:24:43,280
first.

4344
02:24:43,900 --> 02:24:47,040
Tucker, who interviewed Vance 46 times on his

4345
02:24:47,040 --> 02:24:47,320
show.

4346
02:24:47,680 --> 02:24:48,960
Vance hired his son.

4347
02:24:48,960 --> 02:24:53,460
Vance's Rockbridge network was the spawning point of

4348
02:24:53,460 --> 02:24:57,680
1789 Capital, founded by Rebecca Mercer and Claremonster

4349
02:24:57,680 --> 02:25:00,740
critic Chris Buskirk, which gave Tucker $15 million.

4350
02:25:01,500 --> 02:25:05,600
Rebecca Mercer funded Steve Bannon at Breitbart that

4351
02:25:05,600 --> 02:25:08,120
spawned Milo Yiannopoulos' career.

4352
02:25:09,000 --> 02:25:12,660
And Rebecca Mercer hand-selected George Farmer, Candace

4353
02:25:12,660 --> 02:25:16,380
Owens' husband, to run Parler in 2021.

4354
02:25:17,440 --> 02:25:19,400
This is why they want me dead.

4355
02:25:19,980 --> 02:25:20,940
Who's the fed?

4356
02:25:21,360 --> 02:25:22,620
Who's the fed here?

4357
02:25:22,820 --> 02:25:24,820
Because I brought all the receipts.

4358
02:25:27,920 --> 02:25:29,400
This is so entertaining.

4359
02:25:29,700 --> 02:25:31,120
I like that.

4360
02:25:31,240 --> 02:25:32,040
That was funny.

4361
02:25:32,200 --> 02:25:34,080
Why don't you give yourself a borderline clip

4362
02:25:34,080 --> 02:25:35,420
of the day for digging that up?

4363
02:25:35,520 --> 02:25:36,300
Well, it wasn't hard.

4364
02:25:37,980 --> 02:25:39,580
I didn't know any of this.

4365
02:25:39,640 --> 02:25:41,020
I don't follow this kind of crap.

4366
02:25:41,120 --> 02:25:43,340
I follow NPR and then you moan about

4367
02:25:43,340 --> 02:25:43,960
my clips.

4368
02:25:43,960 --> 02:25:45,660
But this is entertaining.

4369
02:25:45,800 --> 02:25:47,140
It's basically the Whitney Webb story.

4370
02:25:47,160 --> 02:25:48,740
It's more entertaining than NPR.

4371
02:25:48,960 --> 02:25:50,400
I'm not going to argue the point.

4372
02:25:50,520 --> 02:25:52,820
It's basically Whitney Webb in a minute and

4373
02:25:52,820 --> 02:25:53,580
50 seconds.

4374
02:25:53,800 --> 02:25:54,600
It's much better.

4375
02:25:54,680 --> 02:25:56,580
It's a compressed Whitney Webb.

4376
02:25:58,340 --> 02:25:59,380
It's Palantir.

4377
02:25:59,880 --> 02:26:01,180
They're killing the Jews.

4378
02:26:02,140 --> 02:26:02,600
I'm sorry.

4379
02:26:02,840 --> 02:26:04,260
They're killing the Palestinians.

4380
02:26:05,260 --> 02:26:05,740
Oh, man.

4381
02:26:05,740 --> 02:26:07,740
Yeah, because they got the facial recognition of

4382
02:26:07,740 --> 02:26:10,020
all these rando Palestinians somehow.

4383
02:26:10,020 --> 02:26:10,980
That's right.

4384
02:26:11,040 --> 02:26:12,940
And then J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel

4385
02:26:12,940 --> 02:26:13,700
and Elon Musk.

4386
02:26:13,800 --> 02:26:16,460
The PayPal mafia banning everybody.

4387
02:26:16,840 --> 02:26:18,640
It's all one big network.

4388
02:26:22,080 --> 02:26:25,700
That was a very good virtual red yarn

4389
02:26:25,700 --> 02:26:27,900
drawing.

4390
02:26:28,600 --> 02:26:31,800
With the pushpins in the cork board.

4391
02:26:32,380 --> 02:26:32,600
Yeah.

4392
02:26:33,060 --> 02:26:35,120
What Beck used to do.

4393
02:26:35,260 --> 02:26:35,500
Yeah.

4394
02:26:35,800 --> 02:26:37,840
Connecting with all the different pieces of yarn.

4395
02:26:37,920 --> 02:26:38,440
It was good.

4396
02:26:38,440 --> 02:26:39,760
I find it.

4397
02:26:39,840 --> 02:26:42,040
I find Nick Fuentes at this point highly

4398
02:26:42,040 --> 02:26:42,660
entertaining.

4399
02:26:43,560 --> 02:26:44,600
Now, I know.

4400
02:26:44,920 --> 02:26:45,120
Follow me.

4401
02:26:45,200 --> 02:26:46,580
What's this podcast called?

4402
02:26:47,380 --> 02:26:48,440
I don't know.

4403
02:26:48,580 --> 02:26:50,520
I think it's just Nick Fuentes.

4404
02:26:50,760 --> 02:26:51,940
I don't know if he has a podcast.

4405
02:26:52,100 --> 02:26:54,640
Doesn't he just floats around from podcast to

4406
02:26:54,640 --> 02:26:56,080
podcast causing trouble?

4407
02:26:56,200 --> 02:26:57,600
He just does stuff on YouTube.

4408
02:26:57,880 --> 02:26:58,460
He's a troublemaker.

4409
02:26:58,600 --> 02:26:59,600
This is a great guy.

4410
02:26:59,780 --> 02:27:00,020
Yes.

4411
02:27:00,060 --> 02:27:02,640
Well, he had the grippers, the grippers.

4412
02:27:03,160 --> 02:27:05,760
That was so they were like America first.

4413
02:27:05,760 --> 02:27:08,740
Trump is controlled by Israel grippers.

4414
02:27:09,460 --> 02:27:11,440
And then they all get kicked off of

4415
02:27:11,440 --> 02:27:11,780
Twitter.

4416
02:27:12,980 --> 02:27:15,020
And I know Elon Musk brought him back,

4417
02:27:15,040 --> 02:27:16,280
but then kicked him off again.

4418
02:27:16,500 --> 02:27:17,140
I don't know.

4419
02:27:17,240 --> 02:27:20,640
It's like I do know that my neighbor,

4420
02:27:20,780 --> 02:27:21,360
Laura Logan.

4421
02:27:21,620 --> 02:27:23,700
She says that guy's that guy's CIA.

4422
02:27:24,040 --> 02:27:26,100
She says that with Fuentes.

4423
02:27:26,360 --> 02:27:26,780
Yes.

4424
02:27:27,400 --> 02:27:28,680
Says he's a troublemaker.

4425
02:27:28,960 --> 02:27:29,860
He's a troublemaker.

4426
02:27:30,500 --> 02:27:31,420
He's a plant.

4427
02:27:31,460 --> 02:27:31,980
He's a plant.

4428
02:27:31,980 --> 02:27:35,540
And it's interesting because now you're seeing different

4429
02:27:35,540 --> 02:27:38,180
news, different podcasts or two, but different news

4430
02:27:38,180 --> 02:27:41,140
outlets starting to push back on the Palestine

4431
02:27:41,140 --> 02:27:42,020
narrative.

4432
02:27:43,300 --> 02:27:45,220
And, you know, there's a lot of, there's

4433
02:27:45,220 --> 02:27:49,880
many different Instagrammers doing reels.

4434
02:27:49,960 --> 02:27:51,620
And maybe it's just because people are sending

4435
02:27:51,620 --> 02:27:53,160
them to me that it seems, seems like

4436
02:27:53,160 --> 02:27:54,380
it's more, I don't know.

4437
02:27:55,560 --> 02:27:57,940
But it certainly feels like that's happening more

4438
02:27:57,940 --> 02:27:58,240
and more.

4439
02:27:58,240 --> 02:28:03,680
And then Carl Higby from Newsmax.

4440
02:28:04,780 --> 02:28:05,960
Is that this, is that you don't go

4441
02:28:05,960 --> 02:28:06,560
on Newsmax.

4442
02:28:06,700 --> 02:28:07,680
Do you go on One American?

4443
02:28:07,680 --> 02:28:07,960
No.

4444
02:28:08,280 --> 02:28:08,720
OAN.

4445
02:28:09,000 --> 02:28:10,260
One American News Network.

4446
02:28:10,500 --> 02:28:11,100
Who owns Newsmax?

4447
02:28:11,120 --> 02:28:11,620
There's three of them.

4448
02:28:11,740 --> 02:28:12,740
There's Newsmax.

4449
02:28:13,480 --> 02:28:15,520
There's that one that you had earlier on

4450
02:28:15,520 --> 02:28:16,040
the show.

4451
02:28:16,760 --> 02:28:17,940
There's One American Network.

4452
02:28:18,100 --> 02:28:21,380
And then there's the thing that Cuomo's on,

4453
02:28:21,460 --> 02:28:22,320
that other network.

4454
02:28:22,840 --> 02:28:24,720
It's about four of these fringe networks.

4455
02:28:24,720 --> 02:28:28,660
Isn't Cuomo on Newsmax?

4456
02:28:29,180 --> 02:28:30,080
No, no, no.

4457
02:28:30,220 --> 02:28:31,380
He's on One American News.

4458
02:28:32,080 --> 02:28:32,780
Oh, okay.

4459
02:28:33,980 --> 02:28:37,500
No, Newsmax, nobody, there was one or two

4460
02:28:37,500 --> 02:28:40,020
ex-famous people from Fox or something that

4461
02:28:40,020 --> 02:28:41,600
floated over to Newsmax.

4462
02:28:41,720 --> 02:28:45,780
But Newsmax is low pay and they've been

4463
02:28:45,780 --> 02:28:46,700
around the longest.

4464
02:28:47,420 --> 02:28:50,060
Grok is unable to generate a reply.

4465
02:28:50,380 --> 02:28:51,200
This is horrible.

4466
02:28:52,700 --> 02:28:53,740
Would you ask Grok?

4467
02:28:53,740 --> 02:28:55,220
Who owns Newsmax?

4468
02:28:56,620 --> 02:28:57,800
I mean, isn't that what you're supposed to

4469
02:28:57,800 --> 02:28:57,940
do?

4470
02:28:57,940 --> 02:28:58,960
Book of Knowledge stuff.

4471
02:28:59,120 --> 02:29:00,060
Christopher Ruddy.

4472
02:29:00,200 --> 02:29:00,640
Oh, okay.

4473
02:29:01,300 --> 02:29:01,780
Yeah, Ruddy.

4474
02:29:02,000 --> 02:29:02,300
Ruddy.

4475
02:29:02,600 --> 02:29:02,920
All right.

4476
02:29:03,080 --> 02:29:05,980
But it's, oh, he got money from Sheikh

4477
02:29:05,980 --> 02:29:08,940
Sultan bin Hassim Al-Thani from Qatar.

4478
02:29:10,020 --> 02:29:11,380
That's Qatari money, right?

4479
02:29:11,460 --> 02:29:14,080
It's the same, I think the source of

4480
02:29:14,080 --> 02:29:18,540
Amy Goodman's, I think, sources.

4481
02:29:18,620 --> 02:29:20,180
Oh, from War and Peace.

4482
02:29:20,820 --> 02:29:23,340
So where are the Qataris in the Israel

4483
02:29:23,340 --> 02:29:24,600
-Palestine, and where are they?

4484
02:29:24,860 --> 02:29:26,180
On what side do they fall?

4485
02:29:26,840 --> 02:29:27,360
Palestine.

4486
02:29:27,980 --> 02:29:28,780
Huh, interesting.

4487
02:29:28,980 --> 02:29:32,680
Well, here's Carl Higby going down to the

4488
02:29:32,680 --> 02:29:35,100
Gaza Strip, giving us a history lesson.

4489
02:29:35,220 --> 02:29:37,160
You can hear the explosions in the background

4490
02:29:37,160 --> 02:29:38,360
of the airstrikes and artillery.

4491
02:29:38,720 --> 02:29:40,280
We want to know how a six-mile

4492
02:29:40,280 --> 02:29:42,980
-wide, 25-mile-long piece of prime real

4493
02:29:42,980 --> 02:29:46,080
estate, oceanfront on the Mediterranean Sea, fall into

4494
02:29:46,080 --> 02:29:46,880
the hands of terrorists.

4495
02:29:46,880 --> 02:29:49,980
Egypt actually used to control the Gaza Strip

4496
02:29:49,980 --> 02:29:52,880
until 1967 when they attacked Israel.

4497
02:29:53,060 --> 02:29:55,120
At that point, Israel took control of it,

4498
02:29:55,180 --> 02:29:57,040
and they actually let the Arab settlers stay

4499
02:29:57,040 --> 02:29:59,580
there and started building infrastructure into the area.

4500
02:29:59,980 --> 02:30:02,100
But Egypt didn't want anything to do with

4501
02:30:02,100 --> 02:30:03,900
it, even when it was a potential to

4502
02:30:03,900 --> 02:30:04,460
have it back.

4503
02:30:04,640 --> 02:30:06,700
But in the 80s, groups like the Palestinian

4504
02:30:06,700 --> 02:30:09,080
Liberation Organization began to rise up.

4505
02:30:09,180 --> 02:30:12,940
Then in 1993, the Oslo Accords granted limited

4506
02:30:12,940 --> 02:30:16,340
self-governance for Palestinians, while Israel retained control

4507
02:30:16,340 --> 02:30:18,420
over the borders, control over the airspace, and

4508
02:30:18,420 --> 02:30:18,800
security.

4509
02:30:18,940 --> 02:30:22,660
Keep in mind, Israel constructed, maintained, and ran

4510
02:30:22,660 --> 02:30:25,160
all the infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.

4511
02:30:25,220 --> 02:30:28,160
The violence escalated, though, in 2005, when Israel

4512
02:30:28,160 --> 02:30:30,460
actually withdrew their settlements in an attempt to

4513
02:30:30,460 --> 02:30:31,800
try to make peace with the people in

4514
02:30:31,800 --> 02:30:33,780
Gaza, or the self-proclaimed Palestinians.

4515
02:30:34,220 --> 02:30:37,180
Shortly after that, elections were held in Gaza,

4516
02:30:37,780 --> 02:30:41,900
and Hamas was overwhelmingly elected by the people

4517
02:30:41,900 --> 02:30:42,460
of Gaza.

4518
02:30:42,460 --> 02:30:45,580
They elected the people who are running that

4519
02:30:45,580 --> 02:30:46,320
region right now.

4520
02:30:46,380 --> 02:30:50,860
From that, until 2023, they continued sporadic attacks

4521
02:30:50,860 --> 02:30:53,060
on Israel, but also it became more and

4522
02:30:53,060 --> 02:30:55,100
more of a hotbed for Iranian-based terror.

4523
02:30:55,280 --> 02:30:57,160
Sounds a bit like the way I remember

4524
02:30:57,160 --> 02:30:57,340
it.

4525
02:30:57,360 --> 02:30:57,860
How about you?

4526
02:30:59,220 --> 02:31:00,180
That sounds right.

4527
02:31:00,420 --> 02:31:03,580
I'm not hearing any huge errors.

4528
02:31:03,880 --> 02:31:04,300
Egypt.

4529
02:31:04,500 --> 02:31:08,300
People don't realize that this was Egyptian territory.

4530
02:31:09,080 --> 02:31:12,300
And then, of course, October 7th, which I'm

4531
02:31:12,300 --> 02:31:15,360
still skeptical if that was on purpose or

4532
02:31:15,360 --> 02:31:17,660
not, but October 7th.

4533
02:31:17,840 --> 02:31:19,820
Fast forward to October 7th, 2023.

4534
02:31:20,420 --> 02:31:23,880
6,000 Hamas terrorists invaded southern Israel, murdered

4535
02:31:23,880 --> 02:31:27,000
1,200 Israelis, and took 250 hostages.

4536
02:31:27,500 --> 02:31:29,300
Six of them were American, along some of

4537
02:31:29,300 --> 02:31:30,780
these highways that we're on right now.

4538
02:31:30,940 --> 02:31:32,820
So how did a bunch of nomad outcast

4539
02:31:32,820 --> 02:31:35,620
Arabs in 50 years end up self-governing,

4540
02:31:35,620 --> 02:31:37,620
gaining an entire region, they built an entire

4541
02:31:37,620 --> 02:31:39,980
army, and attacked the very people that's providing

4542
02:31:39,980 --> 02:31:41,560
them the land and utilities that they have?

4543
02:31:41,740 --> 02:31:43,280
Well, it all started because they played victim,

4544
02:31:43,560 --> 02:31:44,320
and they got funding.

4545
02:31:44,660 --> 02:31:46,560
And as they morphed into the Palestinian Authority,

4546
02:31:46,720 --> 02:31:48,740
Iran saw a likely ally.

4547
02:31:48,880 --> 02:31:51,300
They poured weapons, they poured training and resources,

4548
02:31:51,400 --> 02:31:54,260
and simultaneously, we, the U.S., our taxpayer

4549
02:31:54,260 --> 02:31:56,800
money, was being given to them in Gaza.

4550
02:31:57,300 --> 02:31:58,540
And this goes back to Bill Clinton.

4551
02:31:58,740 --> 02:32:00,740
They began to receive millions of our taxpayer

4552
02:32:00,740 --> 02:32:01,260
dollars.

4553
02:32:01,260 --> 02:32:03,460
And more recently, as you know about USAID,

4554
02:32:04,120 --> 02:32:07,280
Trump defunded this agency since the October 7th

4555
02:32:07,280 --> 02:32:07,600
attack.

4556
02:32:08,220 --> 02:32:12,880
USAID, though, has given $2.1 billion to

4557
02:32:12,880 --> 02:32:14,920
Gaza, where you can hear those explosions going

4558
02:32:14,920 --> 02:32:15,760
off right behind me.

4559
02:32:16,600 --> 02:32:19,780
One line item from USAID noted that $200

4560
02:32:19,780 --> 02:32:24,860
million were allocated to miscellaneous foreign awardees of

4561
02:32:24,860 --> 02:32:25,940
the West Bank in Gaza.

4562
02:32:26,040 --> 02:32:28,020
There was no transparency at all for any

4563
02:32:28,020 --> 02:32:29,700
of these receipts, and that goes directly to

4564
02:32:29,700 --> 02:32:30,160
Hamas.

4565
02:32:30,160 --> 02:32:32,780
And the actual aid that's intended for the

4566
02:32:32,780 --> 02:32:34,740
real victims, I guess, of the area, the

4567
02:32:34,740 --> 02:32:36,720
people who don't have any means to flee,

4568
02:32:37,160 --> 02:32:38,960
Hamas steals most of it once it gets

4569
02:32:38,960 --> 02:32:39,980
to the intended recipients.

4570
02:32:40,640 --> 02:32:42,140
They tell people not to take it in

4571
02:32:42,140 --> 02:32:43,340
the streets at gunpoint.

4572
02:32:43,680 --> 02:32:45,100
Don't tell me aid isn't going in.

4573
02:32:45,140 --> 02:32:48,260
I'm here right now watching Israeli trucks transfer

4574
02:32:48,260 --> 02:32:50,500
it to Arab trucks and then drive it

4575
02:32:50,500 --> 02:32:50,980
into Gaza.

4576
02:32:51,660 --> 02:32:53,960
The narrative is shifting, these guys.

4577
02:32:56,060 --> 02:32:57,820
Interesting that it's Qatari-based.

4578
02:32:58,060 --> 02:32:59,040
I didn't expect that.

4579
02:33:00,160 --> 02:33:02,480
Well, we'll see what happens long term.

4580
02:33:03,600 --> 02:33:05,920
Yeah, well, long term, no one knows anything.

4581
02:33:06,020 --> 02:33:07,180
We could be gone tomorrow.

4582
02:33:08,440 --> 02:33:09,680
I don't think so.

4583
02:33:11,180 --> 02:33:12,400
But we will be gone tomorrow.

4584
02:33:12,460 --> 02:33:13,440
We'll be back on Sunday.

4585
02:33:14,660 --> 02:33:16,060
Yes, we will.

4586
02:33:17,320 --> 02:33:20,520
Have you ever heard of the Lemon Test?

4587
02:33:21,840 --> 02:33:23,080
The Lemon Test?

4588
02:33:23,300 --> 02:33:23,640
Yes.

4589
02:33:24,560 --> 02:33:25,100
No.

4590
02:33:25,830 --> 02:33:28,640
So I learned about this yesterday from my

4591
02:33:28,640 --> 02:33:29,320
friend Rick.

4592
02:33:30,820 --> 02:33:32,200
My friend Rick?

4593
02:33:32,220 --> 02:33:33,220
My friend Rick.

4594
02:33:33,440 --> 02:33:34,180
Rick Green.

4595
02:33:34,980 --> 02:33:39,260
Rick Green, he runs the white Christian nationalist

4596
02:33:39,260 --> 02:33:42,160
paramilitary organization, Noah's Patriot Academy.

4597
02:33:42,840 --> 02:33:43,300
That's funny.

4598
02:33:43,380 --> 02:33:44,400
Ask him if he was a bowler.

4599
02:33:46,320 --> 02:33:46,720
Hmm.

4600
02:33:46,900 --> 02:33:48,980
He was a former state representative.

4601
02:33:49,480 --> 02:33:51,900
Did you ever bowl against a short, stocky

4602
02:33:51,900 --> 02:33:52,900
guy named Rick Green?

4603
02:33:52,900 --> 02:33:55,500
No, but it was a green that I

4604
02:33:55,500 --> 02:33:57,320
bowled against, but he was not short and

4605
02:33:57,320 --> 02:33:57,640
stocky.

4606
02:33:57,920 --> 02:33:58,560
That doesn't sound right.

4607
02:33:58,780 --> 02:34:01,540
So, you know, big controversy in Texas over

4608
02:34:01,540 --> 02:34:03,320
the Ten Commandments in schools.

4609
02:34:03,960 --> 02:34:05,860
Which, you know, I'm like, okay, whatever.

4610
02:34:07,060 --> 02:34:09,200
We'll have this argument, I guess, forever.

4611
02:34:09,400 --> 02:34:11,900
But I just wanted to play the clip

4612
02:34:11,900 --> 02:34:13,620
of this so-called news and then play

4613
02:34:13,620 --> 02:34:14,800
something that I learned yesterday.

4614
02:34:15,000 --> 02:34:16,980
A group of North Texas parents are now

4615
02:34:16,980 --> 02:34:19,400
suing the state and their student school districts

4616
02:34:19,400 --> 02:34:21,620
after Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill that

4617
02:34:21,620 --> 02:34:24,180
requires public schools to display the Ten Commandments

4618
02:34:24,180 --> 02:34:25,440
in every single classroom.

4619
02:34:25,460 --> 02:34:27,860
So parents say this new law violates constitutional

4620
02:34:27,860 --> 02:34:28,220
rights.

4621
02:34:28,300 --> 02:34:30,820
It also potentially crosses the line between church

4622
02:34:30,820 --> 02:34:31,280
and state.

4623
02:34:31,400 --> 02:34:33,660
So Lauren Crawford joins us live with more

4624
02:34:33,660 --> 02:34:35,860
on this and what both sides are saying

4625
02:34:35,860 --> 02:34:37,500
as this legal battle plays out.

4626
02:34:37,620 --> 02:34:38,220
Hey, good morning.

4627
02:34:38,340 --> 02:34:40,520
Well, Senate Bill 10 requires all Texas public

4628
02:34:40,520 --> 02:34:43,440
schools to post a 16 by 20 inch

4629
02:34:43,440 --> 02:34:45,860
copy, a framed copy or poster of the

4630
02:34:45,860 --> 02:34:48,060
Ten Commandments in every single classroom.

4631
02:34:48,060 --> 02:34:50,620
Now, this bill was just signed into law

4632
02:34:50,620 --> 02:34:53,620
but is already facing legal pushback from North

4633
02:34:53,620 --> 02:34:56,420
Texas parents who say the bill goes too

4634
02:34:56,420 --> 02:34:56,900
far.

4635
02:34:57,240 --> 02:34:59,300
Now, Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 10

4636
02:34:59,300 --> 02:35:00,600
into law on Saturday.

4637
02:35:01,020 --> 02:35:03,480
It requires all public schools to post a

4638
02:35:03,480 --> 02:35:06,620
state-approved version of the Ten Commandments in

4639
02:35:06,620 --> 02:35:08,500
classrooms where it's clearly visible.

4640
02:35:09,080 --> 02:35:11,320
Eight North Texas parents are now suing the

4641
02:35:11,320 --> 02:35:13,860
state, claiming the law crosses the line between

4642
02:35:13,860 --> 02:35:15,320
church and state.

4643
02:35:15,320 --> 02:35:17,740
However, the state says it reflects the nation's

4644
02:35:17,740 --> 02:35:18,900
religious heritage.

4645
02:35:19,400 --> 02:35:21,880
The plaintiffs argue the law violates the First

4646
02:35:21,880 --> 02:35:25,360
Amendment and the Texas Constitution by pressuring students

4647
02:35:25,360 --> 02:35:29,640
into religious observance and sidelining parents' rights to

4648
02:35:29,640 --> 02:35:30,880
teach faith at home.

4649
02:35:31,260 --> 02:35:33,640
We are not filing this lawsuit because we

4650
02:35:33,640 --> 02:35:34,580
are against faith.

4651
02:35:34,960 --> 02:35:37,580
We are filing it because we are for

4652
02:35:37,580 --> 02:35:38,040
freedom.

4653
02:35:38,360 --> 02:35:40,880
Now, similar laws have been either struck down

4654
02:35:40,880 --> 02:35:44,240
or failed in other states, but a couple

4655
02:35:44,240 --> 02:35:46,520
of other local districts named in the lawsuit,

4656
02:35:46,760 --> 02:35:49,940
DeSoto ISD and Lancaster ISD, they say that

4657
02:35:49,940 --> 02:35:51,740
they are monitoring the legal process.

4658
02:35:51,920 --> 02:35:52,900
So, of course, this is something that we'll

4659
02:35:52,900 --> 02:35:54,800
continue to stay on top of as it

4660
02:35:54,800 --> 02:35:55,380
unfolds.

4661
02:35:55,460 --> 02:35:56,780
Yeah, I just love when they say, oh,

4662
02:35:56,860 --> 02:35:58,840
it's church and state, separation clause.

4663
02:35:59,240 --> 02:36:01,600
So, in 1971, this is what I learned,

4664
02:36:01,960 --> 02:36:03,200
because I think that this will go to

4665
02:36:03,200 --> 02:36:06,960
the Supreme Court and any opposition will be

4666
02:36:06,960 --> 02:36:07,600
struck down.

4667
02:36:07,600 --> 02:36:10,240
And here's the reason why, because the Lemon

4668
02:36:10,240 --> 02:36:13,700
Test, which was established in 1971 in the

4669
02:36:13,700 --> 02:36:15,380
U.S. Supreme Court, Lemon v.

4670
02:36:15,660 --> 02:36:16,220
Kurtzman.

4671
02:36:16,720 --> 02:36:18,040
Ah, so this has got nothing to do

4672
02:36:18,040 --> 02:36:18,900
with the Lemon Law.

4673
02:36:19,200 --> 02:36:20,840
No, it's very confusing.

4674
02:36:21,040 --> 02:36:21,900
Like, Lemon Law?

4675
02:36:22,020 --> 02:36:22,600
Lemon Test?

4676
02:36:23,340 --> 02:36:26,580
So they had a test in the Supreme

4677
02:36:26,580 --> 02:36:29,400
Court if something violates the First Amendment.

4678
02:36:30,320 --> 02:36:35,960
So, if whatever the law is or whatever

4679
02:36:35,960 --> 02:36:39,580
government action, if it is either excessive entanglement,

4680
02:36:40,060 --> 02:36:42,380
so the action must not foster excessive government

4681
02:36:42,380 --> 02:36:46,380
entanglement with religion, or has a primary effect,

4682
02:36:46,900 --> 02:36:49,480
the action's primary effect must neither advance nor

4683
02:36:49,480 --> 02:36:50,520
inhibit religion.

4684
02:36:51,080 --> 02:36:52,440
And this is the funniest one.

4685
02:36:52,660 --> 02:36:55,540
If it had a secular purpose, the government

4686
02:36:55,540 --> 02:36:57,620
action or law must have a clear non

4687
02:36:57,620 --> 02:36:58,400
-religious purpose.

4688
02:36:58,500 --> 02:37:01,080
Well, obviously, under the Lemon Test, this would

4689
02:37:01,080 --> 02:37:03,120
be struck down by the Supreme Court.

4690
02:37:03,400 --> 02:37:05,020
But here's what I didn't know.

4691
02:37:05,520 --> 02:37:06,000
Why?

4692
02:37:06,800 --> 02:37:07,480
What, why?

4693
02:37:08,180 --> 02:37:09,460
Why would it be struck down?

4694
02:37:10,120 --> 02:37:12,980
Because it violates the secular purpose of the

4695
02:37:12,980 --> 02:37:13,600
Lemon Test.

4696
02:37:14,600 --> 02:37:15,260
It's secular.

4697
02:37:15,800 --> 02:37:19,300
No, what, hanging the Ten Commandments in the

4698
02:37:19,300 --> 02:37:19,720
classroom?

4699
02:37:20,460 --> 02:37:20,760
Yeah.

4700
02:37:21,320 --> 02:37:22,980
How do you see that as secular?

4701
02:37:23,560 --> 02:37:25,300
It's just a list of rules that you

4702
02:37:25,300 --> 02:37:27,980
should abide by, and it doesn't refer, is

4703
02:37:27,980 --> 02:37:29,920
it referring to some biblical thing and saying

4704
02:37:29,920 --> 02:37:31,120
you should read the Bible or anything?

4705
02:37:31,160 --> 02:37:32,780
No, it's just a list of probably some

4706
02:37:32,780 --> 02:37:33,680
pretty good ideas.

4707
02:37:33,680 --> 02:37:38,420
Ten commandments or ten edicts that you should

4708
02:37:38,420 --> 02:37:40,140
obey if you want to, you know, not

4709
02:37:40,140 --> 02:37:41,040
get thrown in jail.

4710
02:37:41,320 --> 02:37:42,420
Well, you might find it interesting.

4711
02:37:42,700 --> 02:37:43,700
It seems pretty secular to me.

4712
02:37:43,920 --> 02:37:46,200
You might find it interesting that the Lemon

4713
02:37:46,200 --> 02:37:48,260
Test has been applied, and the Supreme Court

4714
02:37:48,260 --> 02:37:51,120
since 1971 has struck that down every single

4715
02:37:51,120 --> 02:37:51,780
time it was struck down.

4716
02:37:51,800 --> 02:37:53,300
I'd be on the opposition of that.

4717
02:37:53,380 --> 02:37:56,200
I'd be on the minority report side of

4718
02:37:56,200 --> 02:37:56,420
that.

4719
02:37:56,560 --> 02:37:57,600
It doesn't make sense to me.

4720
02:37:57,700 --> 02:37:59,100
I think it's very secular.

4721
02:37:59,100 --> 02:38:02,380
Well, obviously I'm not going to disagree with

4722
02:38:02,380 --> 02:38:04,400
you, but the more interesting point is the

4723
02:38:04,400 --> 02:38:07,000
Lemon Test has been discarded, and we didn't

4724
02:38:07,000 --> 02:38:07,760
hear about it.

4725
02:38:08,500 --> 02:38:10,640
And the Lemon Test has been replaced by

4726
02:38:10,640 --> 02:38:14,340
the History and Standards Test, which is now

4727
02:38:14,340 --> 02:38:16,460
also being applied to the Second Amendment.

4728
02:38:17,160 --> 02:38:20,480
And I'm pretty sure the Ten Commandments will

4729
02:38:20,480 --> 02:38:21,900
go to the Supreme Court, and they will

4730
02:38:21,900 --> 02:38:23,920
say, no, no, we don't use the Lemon

4731
02:38:23,920 --> 02:38:24,640
Test anymore.

4732
02:38:24,640 --> 02:38:28,040
We use the History and Standards Test, which

4733
02:38:28,040 --> 02:38:31,300
came into play thanks to Coach Kennedy.

4734
02:38:32,140 --> 02:38:35,360
And Coach Kennedy was the high school football

4735
02:38:35,360 --> 02:38:38,560
coach who would kneel on the 50-yard

4736
02:38:38,560 --> 02:38:40,660
line after the game and pray.

4737
02:38:40,880 --> 02:38:41,320
You remember that?

4738
02:38:41,340 --> 02:38:41,960
Yeah, that guy.

4739
02:38:42,360 --> 02:38:43,320
So listen to this.

4740
02:38:43,660 --> 02:38:45,260
He's not the only guy who did that.

4741
02:38:45,320 --> 02:38:47,500
No, this is a brief explanation that brought

4742
02:38:47,500 --> 02:38:51,380
in the History and Standards Test and took

4743
02:38:51,380 --> 02:38:53,720
out the Lemon Test from the Supreme Court's

4744
02:38:53,720 --> 02:38:54,120
proceedings.

4745
02:38:54,120 --> 02:38:55,980
So Coach Kennedy, a lot of people know,

4746
02:38:56,080 --> 02:38:57,100
oh, he gets to go back and pray

4747
02:38:57,100 --> 02:38:58,400
at the midfield of the football.

4748
02:38:58,900 --> 02:39:01,080
What they don't remember is that in that

4749
02:39:01,080 --> 02:39:02,460
case, they threw out the Lemon Test.

4750
02:39:02,620 --> 02:39:04,180
And the Lemon Test is what had been

4751
02:39:04,180 --> 02:39:06,120
used in 1980 in the Stone v.

4752
02:39:06,360 --> 02:39:08,800
Graham case and in thousands of other cases

4753
02:39:08,800 --> 02:39:12,220
since 1971 to prohibit public displays of religion.

4754
02:39:12,420 --> 02:39:14,120
So because of Coach Kennedy and the work

4755
02:39:14,120 --> 02:39:16,460
of First Liberty, that Lemon Test was now

4756
02:39:16,460 --> 02:39:18,340
thrown out, which gives us the ability to

4757
02:39:18,340 --> 02:39:20,340
go back into these states and say, hey,

4758
02:39:20,400 --> 02:39:22,820
that flawed decision from 1980, it's no good

4759
02:39:22,820 --> 02:39:23,120
anymore.

4760
02:39:23,120 --> 02:39:25,200
Let's put the Ten Commandments back up.

4761
02:39:25,320 --> 02:39:26,960
And if that's not enough, our win in

4762
02:39:26,960 --> 02:39:30,220
the Bladensburg case in 2019 specifically deals with

4763
02:39:30,220 --> 02:39:32,600
things made out of granite on government property,

4764
02:39:32,720 --> 02:39:32,840
right?

4765
02:39:32,980 --> 02:39:33,740
That's exactly right.

4766
02:39:33,800 --> 02:39:36,400
And that really set the foundation for the

4767
02:39:36,400 --> 02:39:39,540
Kennedy case in 2022, which now we have,

4768
02:39:39,800 --> 02:39:41,060
well, the Lemon Test is gone.

4769
02:39:41,120 --> 02:39:41,620
So what do we have?

4770
02:39:41,840 --> 02:39:43,680
We now have the History and Tradition Test.

4771
02:39:43,980 --> 02:39:45,880
And that's what I, along with some others,

4772
02:39:45,940 --> 02:39:46,920
when we testify, talk about.

4773
02:39:47,000 --> 02:39:49,340
There's really no document in American history, save

4774
02:39:49,340 --> 02:39:52,220
maybe the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, that has

4775
02:39:52,220 --> 02:39:54,220
the history or tradition that the Ten Commandments

4776
02:39:54,220 --> 02:39:54,500
does.

4777
02:39:54,720 --> 02:39:56,860
That's why we feel very confident that should

4778
02:39:56,860 --> 02:39:58,460
it get into court, should it get into

4779
02:39:58,460 --> 02:40:01,940
these constitutional scrutiny, we're going to be able

4780
02:40:01,940 --> 02:40:02,700
to overcome it.

4781
02:40:02,980 --> 02:40:04,780
History and Tradition Test, that's what I meant.

4782
02:40:05,360 --> 02:40:06,220
I don't like it.

4783
02:40:08,120 --> 02:40:09,600
Bring back the Lemon Law.

4784
02:40:09,800 --> 02:40:10,980
I like that one better.

4785
02:40:11,120 --> 02:40:11,920
You don't like the history.

4786
02:40:11,920 --> 02:40:12,020
I do.

4787
02:40:12,160 --> 02:40:13,660
I don't like that other thing, the Kennedy

4788
02:40:13,660 --> 02:40:14,940
thing, the fact that he won that.

4789
02:40:15,100 --> 02:40:17,380
It's a form of intimidation.

4790
02:40:17,380 --> 02:40:19,280
I didn't think it was good in the

4791
02:40:19,280 --> 02:40:19,900
first place.

4792
02:40:20,820 --> 02:40:21,180
Intimidation?

4793
02:40:21,760 --> 02:40:23,540
Yeah, if you're Jewish and you didn't want

4794
02:40:23,540 --> 02:40:24,480
to go out to the middle of the

4795
02:40:24,480 --> 02:40:27,140
field and pray, or if you're a Catholic.

4796
02:40:27,220 --> 02:40:27,900
Hold on, hold on.

4797
02:40:27,940 --> 02:40:28,860
He didn't force anyone.

4798
02:40:28,940 --> 02:40:29,700
He went by himself.

4799
02:40:29,840 --> 02:40:31,700
No, he didn't force anybody, but you can

4800
02:40:31,700 --> 02:40:32,680
believe he's a coach.

4801
02:40:32,860 --> 02:40:34,860
He takes a look around.

4802
02:40:35,000 --> 02:40:36,740
He says, who's with me?

4803
02:40:36,760 --> 02:40:37,520
Who's against me?

4804
02:40:37,520 --> 02:40:38,360
This is not good.

4805
02:40:39,860 --> 02:40:40,820
Well, we disagree.

4806
02:40:41,180 --> 02:40:42,020
I think it's great.

4807
02:40:42,440 --> 02:40:43,920
I think it's really bad.

4808
02:40:45,560 --> 02:40:48,920
Well, I'm pretty sure that no matter what

4809
02:40:48,920 --> 02:40:50,480
is going to be applied, they're going to

4810
02:40:50,480 --> 02:40:52,160
apply it to the Second Amendment now.

4811
02:40:52,960 --> 02:40:54,740
I don't understand that at all.

4812
02:40:54,840 --> 02:40:56,600
We have a history and tradition of having

4813
02:40:56,600 --> 02:40:57,060
guns.

4814
02:40:58,340 --> 02:41:00,560
But the Second Amendment protects our gun rights.

4815
02:41:00,640 --> 02:41:02,340
Why do you need a test of it?

4816
02:41:02,360 --> 02:41:03,840
Well, why do we need to have any

4817
02:41:03,840 --> 02:41:05,500
conversation about the First Amendment?

4818
02:41:05,560 --> 02:41:07,640
It doesn't say you can't hang the Ten

4819
02:41:07,640 --> 02:41:08,720
Commandments in school.

4820
02:41:08,800 --> 02:41:09,280
I agree.

4821
02:41:09,440 --> 02:41:10,780
That's what I said to begin with.

4822
02:41:10,860 --> 02:41:12,340
I didn't think the First Commandments were even

4823
02:41:12,340 --> 02:41:13,540
remotely religious.

4824
02:41:13,540 --> 02:41:17,300
Because our Constitution has been distorted by nut

4825
02:41:17,300 --> 02:41:19,420
jobs throughout history, throughout legal history.

4826
02:41:19,420 --> 02:41:21,120
Yeah, so they end up with this new

4827
02:41:21,120 --> 02:41:24,860
test, the new rules and history test or

4828
02:41:24,860 --> 02:41:26,240
whatever the hell it is, so some guy

4829
02:41:26,240 --> 02:41:27,720
can pray in the middle of the football

4830
02:41:27,720 --> 02:41:29,240
field and see who's not there with him.

4831
02:41:30,020 --> 02:41:30,780
Not good.

4832
02:41:31,500 --> 02:41:33,300
Whoo, let's take a break and do some

4833
02:41:33,300 --> 02:41:34,220
Real News, everybody.

4834
02:41:34,360 --> 02:41:35,220
I'm ready for it.

4835
02:41:36,140 --> 02:41:38,400
And now, back to Real News.

4836
02:41:38,400 --> 02:41:41,400
Something has Justin Trudeau smiling.

4837
02:41:41,680 --> 02:41:44,120
But is it a budding romance with a

4838
02:41:44,120 --> 02:41:44,900
singing star?

4839
02:41:45,100 --> 02:41:46,660
As so many are wondering.

4840
02:41:46,920 --> 02:41:49,940
The new super couple is Katy Perry and

4841
02:41:49,940 --> 02:41:53,000
former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

4842
02:41:53,420 --> 02:41:55,780
TMZ broke the news the two were seen

4843
02:41:55,780 --> 02:41:57,780
dining out on Sunday night in Montreal.

4844
02:41:57,960 --> 02:42:00,820
Then on Tuesday night, Trudeau was front and

4845
02:42:00,820 --> 02:42:02,300
centre at Perry's concert.

4846
02:42:02,760 --> 02:42:06,000
It caused an online furor of discussion and

4847
02:42:06,000 --> 02:42:06,600
speculation.

4848
02:42:06,600 --> 02:42:10,440
This was actually a really great brand and

4849
02:42:10,440 --> 02:42:11,420
reputational move.

4850
02:42:11,560 --> 02:42:14,540
His public relations agent says both Trudeau and

4851
02:42:14,540 --> 02:42:17,940
Perry have seen some reputational damage in recent

4852
02:42:17,940 --> 02:42:18,420
years.

4853
02:42:18,640 --> 02:42:22,200
Trudeau, well, he's no longer Prime Minister after

4854
02:42:22,200 --> 02:42:25,260
resigning amidst plunging support for the Liberal Party.

4855
02:42:25,400 --> 02:42:27,960
And Perry's album sales have gone down with

4856
02:42:27,960 --> 02:42:29,600
each subsequent release.

4857
02:42:29,600 --> 02:42:32,440
Her stint as a would-be astronaut with

4858
02:42:32,440 --> 02:42:35,000
Jeff Bezos blue origins fizzled.

4859
02:42:35,440 --> 02:42:37,180
Many called it tone deaf.

4860
02:42:37,380 --> 02:42:39,620
It makes her brand feel a bit more

4861
02:42:39,620 --> 02:42:40,200
grounded.

4862
02:42:40,600 --> 02:42:44,160
And for him, it, I feel, makes him

4863
02:42:44,160 --> 02:42:44,260
look...

4864
02:42:44,260 --> 02:42:44,900
Hold on, stop the clip.

4865
02:42:46,440 --> 02:42:50,100
So she's going out with the kind of

4866
02:42:50,100 --> 02:42:56,100
the ex-Prime Minister of Canada, Trudeau, who

4867
02:42:56,100 --> 02:42:59,820
is obviously Fidel Castro's kid through an illicit

4868
02:42:59,820 --> 02:43:03,660
relationship with his dad's mom.

4869
02:43:04,520 --> 02:43:08,640
And this guy who's up the creme de

4870
02:43:08,640 --> 02:43:10,980
la creme of the crop of whatever kind

4871
02:43:10,980 --> 02:43:13,440
of elitists there are in Canada, and this

4872
02:43:13,440 --> 02:43:14,700
makes it grounded?

4873
02:43:16,100 --> 02:43:18,040
What he got is, I think he got

4874
02:43:18,040 --> 02:43:19,280
a shut-up president.

4875
02:43:19,460 --> 02:43:21,340
Like here, you can have a presidential model.

4876
02:43:21,980 --> 02:43:23,760
She's obviously MKUltra.

4877
02:43:25,540 --> 02:43:27,580
Well, now that you, hold on.

4878
02:43:27,740 --> 02:43:29,380
You got to be, that's got to be

4879
02:43:29,380 --> 02:43:29,720
clear.

4880
02:43:29,800 --> 02:43:31,060
A friend of mine was one of her

4881
02:43:31,060 --> 02:43:33,320
friends, and I think he was part of

4882
02:43:33,320 --> 02:43:34,740
her management team at one time.

4883
02:43:34,800 --> 02:43:35,180
Really?

4884
02:43:35,560 --> 02:43:37,120
I know the guy really well.

4885
02:43:38,040 --> 02:43:40,320
And she admitted to him, and he couldn't

4886
02:43:40,320 --> 02:43:41,840
believe this, but she admitted to him that

4887
02:43:41,840 --> 02:43:44,200
she'll do anything to be as famous as

4888
02:43:44,200 --> 02:43:44,760
she can.

4889
02:43:44,960 --> 02:43:46,780
Oh, that was a clip.

4890
02:43:46,940 --> 02:43:48,480
That wasn't a friend of yours.

4891
02:43:48,480 --> 02:43:50,660
No, no, I'm telling you, this is a

4892
02:43:50,660 --> 02:43:51,920
friend of mine who told me this story.

4893
02:43:52,920 --> 02:43:55,280
He said he knows her very well, and

4894
02:43:55,280 --> 02:44:01,660
she was basically programmed to sell herself out.

4895
02:44:02,080 --> 02:44:03,700
Yeah, she used to be a Christian.

4896
02:44:06,060 --> 02:44:09,100
So MKUltra, bringing MKUltra into it is quite,

4897
02:44:09,860 --> 02:44:13,080
it doesn't, I would not, if somebody had

4898
02:44:13,080 --> 02:44:16,660
put some, showed me some evidence of this

4899
02:44:16,660 --> 02:44:18,700
right in front of me, I wouldn't even

4900
02:44:18,700 --> 02:44:20,300
remotely be surprised.

4901
02:44:20,920 --> 02:44:23,300
No, it's just, I mean, she even goes

4902
02:44:23,300 --> 02:44:25,240
on stage now dressed as a robot.

4903
02:44:27,610 --> 02:44:30,930
She has MKUltra written all over her.

4904
02:44:31,450 --> 02:44:31,810
She does.

4905
02:44:32,910 --> 02:44:34,810
So I think they needed to keep him

4906
02:44:34,810 --> 02:44:35,230
quiet.

4907
02:44:35,350 --> 02:44:38,990
It's like, here, take our presidential model.

4908
02:44:40,210 --> 02:44:41,910
That's an interesting theory.

4909
02:44:43,050 --> 02:44:45,050
It's the only thing that makes any sense.

4910
02:44:45,110 --> 02:44:46,030
How'd they even meet?

4911
02:44:46,030 --> 02:44:49,110
At lunch, on Tinder.

4912
02:44:49,470 --> 02:44:51,930
At lunch over at Starbucks.

4913
02:44:53,690 --> 02:44:56,330
On itsjustlunch.com, I don't know.

4914
02:44:57,250 --> 02:44:57,890
Itsjustlunch.

4915
02:44:58,630 --> 02:45:01,150
That's a very popular one amongst the ladies,

4916
02:45:02,150 --> 02:45:03,110
the single ladies.

4917
02:45:03,470 --> 02:45:04,950
Yeah, looking for free food.

4918
02:45:05,070 --> 02:45:06,710
No, a lot of the single ladies here,

4919
02:45:06,830 --> 02:45:09,190
you know, they got money, and their husband

4920
02:45:09,190 --> 02:45:11,670
died or, yeah, usually died.

4921
02:45:11,670 --> 02:45:14,570
I mean, they go on itsjustlunch.com to

4922
02:45:14,570 --> 02:45:17,210
find a man or millionaire men.

4923
02:45:18,030 --> 02:45:20,850
There's all these kinds of outfits, and they

4924
02:45:20,850 --> 02:45:22,130
usually wind up really happy.

4925
02:45:23,250 --> 02:45:24,530
Good for them.

4926
02:45:24,670 --> 02:45:25,550
Yeah, yeah.

4927
02:45:26,190 --> 02:45:27,650
I heard another good one.

4928
02:45:27,790 --> 02:45:28,370
What was it?

4929
02:45:30,800 --> 02:45:31,700
Ah, the latest.

4930
02:45:32,820 --> 02:45:34,220
Does Fredericksburg Gossip?

4931
02:45:34,520 --> 02:45:34,900
Yes.

4932
02:45:35,960 --> 02:45:36,600
We love it.

4933
02:45:36,660 --> 02:45:37,520
It goes like this.

4934
02:45:38,360 --> 02:45:40,780
Prepare to be blindsided by everything.

4935
02:45:40,780 --> 02:45:45,390
One of my family members, high-ranking position

4936
02:45:45,390 --> 02:45:46,850
in the military, just told me.

4937
02:45:47,370 --> 02:45:48,350
There's your giveaway.

4938
02:45:48,670 --> 02:45:50,210
Listen, we don't have much time.

4939
02:45:50,310 --> 02:45:51,410
I can't give you details.

4940
02:45:52,170 --> 02:45:53,370
Things are moving fast.

4941
02:45:54,810 --> 02:45:56,850
The elites are getting into their bunkers.

4942
02:45:57,010 --> 02:45:57,910
They're moving supplies.

4943
02:45:58,270 --> 02:46:00,470
They got systems that they're checking, haven't been

4944
02:46:00,470 --> 02:46:01,230
touched in years.

4945
02:46:01,370 --> 02:46:02,570
Something big is coming.

4946
02:46:03,130 --> 02:46:03,490
Oh, yeah.

4947
02:46:03,570 --> 02:46:05,010
And I've been told to make sure my

4948
02:46:05,010 --> 02:46:07,950
own family is ready, so I can't explain

4949
02:46:07,950 --> 02:46:08,650
anything else.

4950
02:46:08,710 --> 02:46:10,210
Look, I'm just giving you advice.

4951
02:46:10,210 --> 02:46:12,330
I don't know if it's days, weeks, or

4952
02:46:12,330 --> 02:46:14,770
months, but it's going to put the entire

4953
02:46:14,770 --> 02:46:16,530
upper chain on edge.

4954
02:46:17,010 --> 02:46:18,550
You'll need food, water, cash.

4955
02:46:20,090 --> 02:46:22,230
And by the time they sound the alarm,

4956
02:46:22,310 --> 02:46:23,170
it's going to be too late.

4957
02:46:23,290 --> 02:46:24,890
So make sure you're ready.

4958
02:46:25,530 --> 02:46:28,410
I had a – I saw a clip

4959
02:46:28,410 --> 02:46:28,750
of this.

4960
02:46:28,830 --> 02:46:30,430
I didn't take it for the show.

4961
02:46:30,450 --> 02:46:30,930
I should have.

4962
02:46:31,350 --> 02:46:32,370
It was the same thing.

4963
02:46:32,670 --> 02:46:33,610
It's going to take place.

4964
02:46:33,690 --> 02:46:35,550
By the way, I got the date.

4965
02:46:35,750 --> 02:46:36,230
East Coast.

4966
02:46:36,290 --> 02:46:38,090
I heard East Coast starts East Coast.

4967
02:46:38,090 --> 02:46:40,090
It's going to be August 31st.

4968
02:46:41,170 --> 02:46:42,490
Oh, yes, August.

4969
02:46:42,710 --> 02:46:44,670
So you got that part, which is going

4970
02:46:44,670 --> 02:46:46,510
to be kind of step right on the

4971
02:46:46,510 --> 02:46:48,210
September 15th blackout.

4972
02:46:49,930 --> 02:46:50,410
Yes.

4973
02:46:51,210 --> 02:46:52,190
So there's that.

4974
02:46:52,270 --> 02:46:54,930
You have to worry about that, which is

4975
02:46:54,930 --> 02:46:55,930
going to be a dud.

4976
02:46:56,330 --> 02:46:56,670
Yeah.

4977
02:46:57,850 --> 02:47:00,110
Which brings us to some TikTok clips.

4978
02:47:00,330 --> 02:47:02,410
Well, I've been waiting for you.

4979
02:47:04,540 --> 02:47:09,640
Okay, I want to start with a third

4980
02:47:09,640 --> 02:47:12,060
copy of the Canada Complainer.

4981
02:47:12,140 --> 02:47:14,200
By the way, this will be the final

4982
02:47:14,200 --> 02:47:16,940
clips before we go to our second thank

4983
02:47:16,940 --> 02:47:17,320
you segment.

4984
02:47:17,320 --> 02:47:18,640
Okay, I got three clips in it.

4985
02:47:18,840 --> 02:47:19,580
They're good.

4986
02:47:19,820 --> 02:47:21,520
But let's start with the Canada woman.

4987
02:47:21,640 --> 02:47:23,960
She's in Canada bitching and moaning because this

4988
02:47:23,960 --> 02:47:26,400
is a big deal to the Canadians and

4989
02:47:26,400 --> 02:47:27,820
nobody's doing anything about it.

4990
02:47:27,840 --> 02:47:28,940
They can't go in the woods.

4991
02:47:29,480 --> 02:47:30,440
They can't go in the woods.

4992
02:47:30,740 --> 02:47:33,040
Here's the new reason, by the way.

4993
02:47:33,040 --> 02:47:34,080
Oh, I think I know.

4994
02:47:34,180 --> 02:47:35,000
I think I heard this.

4995
02:47:35,320 --> 02:47:36,420
So let me get this straight.

4996
02:47:36,900 --> 02:47:39,460
Three provinces in Canada have banned people from

4997
02:47:39,460 --> 02:47:42,100
going into the forest because of fire danger.

4998
02:47:42,740 --> 02:47:45,020
And if you don't comply, you could face

4999
02:47:45,020 --> 02:47:48,280
up to $150,000 in fines and jail

5000
02:47:48,280 --> 02:47:48,700
time.

5001
02:47:49,120 --> 02:47:52,000
So effective today, new fines will range from

5002
02:47:52,000 --> 02:47:54,620
$50,000 to $150,000.

5003
02:47:55,020 --> 02:47:57,460
And imprisonment in default of payment will increase

5004
02:47:57,460 --> 02:47:59,620
from three days to up to six months.

5005
02:47:59,620 --> 02:48:02,460
A government that can bankrupt you and send

5006
02:48:02,460 --> 02:48:04,360
you to jail for going into the forest?

5007
02:48:04,840 --> 02:48:06,760
That doesn't sound like a government that is

5008
02:48:06,760 --> 02:48:07,800
built to serve you.

5009
02:48:07,960 --> 02:48:09,940
That sounds like a government that thinks they

5010
02:48:09,940 --> 02:48:10,740
own you.

5011
02:48:11,000 --> 02:48:13,420
So when a forest lockdown happens near you,

5012
02:48:13,820 --> 02:48:16,280
ask yourself, is this for your safety and

5013
02:48:16,280 --> 02:48:16,860
the climate?

5014
02:48:17,360 --> 02:48:18,780
Or does it have something to do with

5015
02:48:18,780 --> 02:48:19,540
lithium mining?

5016
02:48:19,720 --> 02:48:21,180
You know, the mineral that is used in

5017
02:48:21,180 --> 02:48:24,220
electric car batteries that when it catches fire,

5018
02:48:24,360 --> 02:48:26,720
thousands and thousands and thousands of gallons of

5019
02:48:26,720 --> 02:48:27,560
water to put out.

5020
02:48:27,560 --> 02:48:30,600
And let's not forget governments granting corporations the

5021
02:48:30,600 --> 02:48:32,760
right to mine on public and private lands

5022
02:48:32,760 --> 02:48:33,880
for the greater good.

5023
02:48:34,220 --> 02:48:36,680
And they can still mine during the fire

5024
02:48:36,680 --> 02:48:37,220
restrictions.

5025
02:48:37,640 --> 02:48:38,540
But what do I know?

5026
02:48:38,740 --> 02:48:40,300
I'm just a conspiracy theorist.

5027
02:48:40,720 --> 02:48:42,300
Oh, I hadn't heard that one.

5028
02:48:42,400 --> 02:48:44,060
We're back to the lithium mining.

5029
02:48:44,740 --> 02:48:45,800
Isn't that interesting?

5030
02:48:45,980 --> 02:48:46,980
I thought that was a good clip.

5031
02:48:47,300 --> 02:48:48,100
That's interesting.

5032
02:48:48,440 --> 02:48:50,420
I mean, I'm sure that they need to

5033
02:48:50,420 --> 02:48:52,260
do lithium mining because that's going to be

5034
02:48:52,260 --> 02:48:55,300
their only gig by the time Trump's done

5035
02:48:55,300 --> 02:48:56,000
with everything.

5036
02:48:56,000 --> 02:48:58,220
But I didn't expect that.

5037
02:48:58,560 --> 02:48:58,860
Interesting.

5038
02:49:00,160 --> 02:49:01,340
It is kind of outrageous.

5039
02:49:02,520 --> 02:49:03,820
It's totally outrageous.

5040
02:49:04,480 --> 02:49:06,680
It's not fire danger.

5041
02:49:06,860 --> 02:49:08,360
It's like if there's a fire, we can't

5042
02:49:08,360 --> 02:49:10,140
save you, so therefore you can't be in

5043
02:49:10,140 --> 02:49:10,580
the woods.

5044
02:49:10,820 --> 02:49:11,980
Like, all right.

5045
02:49:12,860 --> 02:49:14,800
Normally you can't be saved half the time

5046
02:49:14,800 --> 02:49:16,200
if you get lost in the woods anyway.

5047
02:49:16,460 --> 02:49:16,720
Yeah.

5048
02:49:16,980 --> 02:49:18,040
It doesn't make sense.

5049
02:49:18,040 --> 02:49:19,680
Although there does seem to be an inordinate

5050
02:49:19,680 --> 02:49:22,620
amount of rescues of people lost in woods,

5051
02:49:22,740 --> 02:49:25,320
on trails, writing help on a rock.

5052
02:49:25,720 --> 02:49:26,680
Have you noticed that?

5053
02:49:26,800 --> 02:49:28,060
It's been happening a couple times.

5054
02:49:29,340 --> 02:49:30,560
I noticed a trend.

5055
02:49:30,700 --> 02:49:31,260
It's a trend.

5056
02:49:31,600 --> 02:49:32,120
It's a trend.

5057
02:49:32,220 --> 02:49:32,820
You might be right.

5058
02:49:33,160 --> 02:49:33,520
Okay.

5059
02:49:33,620 --> 02:49:34,760
So, I got two more.

5060
02:49:34,900 --> 02:49:35,720
I want to play this.

5061
02:49:35,880 --> 02:49:37,360
I think I'll play the Starbucks girl.

5062
02:49:37,620 --> 02:49:39,200
Where's Amazing Polly, by the way?

5063
02:49:39,220 --> 02:49:39,960
What happened to her?

5064
02:49:40,380 --> 02:49:42,280
I'm going to look into it.

5065
02:49:42,760 --> 02:49:44,100
I mean, she seems to be off the

5066
02:49:44,100 --> 02:49:44,360
radar.

5067
02:49:44,820 --> 02:49:46,520
I sent her a note some time back

5068
02:49:46,520 --> 02:49:47,720
and I haven't heard from her.

5069
02:49:48,080 --> 02:49:48,520
Hey, baby.

5070
02:49:48,860 --> 02:49:51,120
Are you on itsjustlunch.com?

5071
02:49:53,460 --> 02:49:57,820
So, this is the Starbucks girl and she's

5072
02:49:57,820 --> 02:50:01,420
complaining about losing her support drink.

5073
02:50:02,160 --> 02:50:04,180
Her emotional support drink?

5074
02:50:04,320 --> 02:50:05,920
Her emotional support drink.

5075
02:50:05,920 --> 02:50:06,380
Oh, goodness.

5076
02:50:06,960 --> 02:50:08,240
I know it's really dumb, but I just

5077
02:50:08,240 --> 02:50:09,400
went to two different Starbucks.

5078
02:50:09,780 --> 02:50:10,640
Hi, welcome to Starbucks.

5079
02:50:10,840 --> 02:50:11,900
Let me get started for you today.

5080
02:50:12,180 --> 02:50:12,700
Hi there.

5081
02:50:12,960 --> 02:50:14,800
Do you guys have the summer berries still?

5082
02:50:15,220 --> 02:50:16,020
We don't.

5083
02:50:16,080 --> 02:50:16,860
I'm sorry, please.

5084
02:50:17,080 --> 02:50:18,420
I'm just desperate to find it.

5085
02:50:18,420 --> 02:50:20,660
Yeah, everyone is supposed to technically be out

5086
02:50:20,660 --> 02:50:21,380
of it by now.

5087
02:50:22,200 --> 02:50:23,540
It's the worst day.

5088
02:50:23,620 --> 02:50:26,020
I really want my emotional support drink.

5089
02:50:26,540 --> 02:50:29,880
I got laid off a month ago, but

5090
02:50:29,880 --> 02:50:32,300
they gave me 30 days notice so that

5091
02:50:32,300 --> 02:50:34,600
I could keep working, which I really appreciated

5092
02:50:34,600 --> 02:50:36,120
because I needed the income.

5093
02:50:37,780 --> 02:50:40,220
My last day is on Friday and I'm

5094
02:50:40,220 --> 02:50:42,080
having to go to work every day this

5095
02:50:42,080 --> 02:50:43,760
week at a job that I'm already laid

5096
02:50:43,760 --> 02:50:44,420
off from.

5097
02:50:44,740 --> 02:50:46,860
I've worked at this place for five years.

5098
02:50:46,860 --> 02:50:50,260
It's just a small thing, but I was

5099
02:50:50,260 --> 02:50:51,980
just going to comfort myself tonight.

5100
02:50:52,540 --> 02:50:53,560
I don't drink.

5101
02:50:54,060 --> 02:50:56,980
I'm sober, so I don't go to the

5102
02:50:56,980 --> 02:50:58,340
bar when I don't feel good.

5103
02:50:58,700 --> 02:51:02,120
I go to Starbucks and it just feels

5104
02:51:02,120 --> 02:51:05,280
like we should get some warning when something's

5105
02:51:05,280 --> 02:51:08,240
going to be disappearing because some of us

5106
02:51:08,240 --> 02:51:09,200
depend on it.

5107
02:51:09,720 --> 02:51:12,500
And they were asking me, do you want

5108
02:51:12,500 --> 02:51:13,620
anything else?

5109
02:51:13,620 --> 02:51:15,420
They were like, we still have the popping

5110
02:51:15,420 --> 02:51:15,700
boba.

5111
02:51:15,800 --> 02:51:19,100
We can put it in something else, but

5112
02:51:19,100 --> 02:51:20,760
I don't want it in something else.

5113
02:51:20,840 --> 02:51:24,120
I only want it in the summer berry.

5114
02:51:24,940 --> 02:51:26,500
And so I just told them I didn't

5115
02:51:26,500 --> 02:51:28,520
want anything and I drove away.

5116
02:51:29,160 --> 02:51:30,760
I don't have anything.

5117
02:51:31,920 --> 02:51:33,480
I don't know what to do.

5118
02:51:35,060 --> 02:51:37,320
I'm right at Whole Foods, so maybe I'll

5119
02:51:37,320 --> 02:51:39,320
go into Whole Foods and try to find

5120
02:51:39,320 --> 02:51:39,800
something.

5121
02:51:41,900 --> 02:51:44,640
Okay, well, I call bullshit on this one.

5122
02:51:45,940 --> 02:51:46,420
Really?

5123
02:51:46,960 --> 02:51:49,420
You're always so serious about these things.

5124
02:51:50,080 --> 02:51:51,000
Here's the reason.

5125
02:51:51,260 --> 02:51:52,840
One thing, it was a two-camera shoot

5126
02:51:52,840 --> 02:51:56,180
the way she did it with the cut

5127
02:51:56,180 --> 02:51:56,380
in.

5128
02:51:56,820 --> 02:51:58,280
She had a two-camera shoot?

5129
02:51:58,380 --> 02:51:58,620
What?

5130
02:51:59,040 --> 02:51:59,140
Wait.

5131
02:51:59,200 --> 02:52:01,080
It was a two-camera shoot, basically.

5132
02:52:01,300 --> 02:52:03,600
This is a Starbucks ad.

5133
02:52:03,600 --> 02:52:05,360
Emotional support drink is silly.

5134
02:52:06,000 --> 02:52:08,160
And then she says, I got laid off,

5135
02:52:08,220 --> 02:52:09,420
but I'm still working for a month.

5136
02:52:09,420 --> 02:52:11,680
So she's working until her last day, and

5137
02:52:11,680 --> 02:52:14,040
then none of it makes sense.

5138
02:52:14,300 --> 02:52:15,680
Well, why do you even play this then

5139
02:52:15,680 --> 02:52:16,440
if you don't think it's true?

5140
02:52:16,440 --> 02:52:18,640
Because I enjoyed her trying to act.

5141
02:52:18,760 --> 02:52:20,540
Now, this next girl, this is the last

5142
02:52:20,540 --> 02:52:20,820
one.

5143
02:52:21,260 --> 02:52:23,380
This is a girl who is one of

5144
02:52:23,380 --> 02:52:23,520
those.

5145
02:52:23,600 --> 02:52:25,540
I know people like this who do this

5146
02:52:25,540 --> 02:52:26,220
sort of thing.

5147
02:52:28,640 --> 02:52:31,160
She's one of those, and it's usually women

5148
02:52:31,160 --> 02:52:34,020
who like doing this, somebody that is making

5149
02:52:34,020 --> 02:52:38,360
life miserable for one of these callers, these

5150
02:52:38,360 --> 02:52:40,680
solicitors that call you on the phone from

5151
02:52:40,680 --> 02:52:41,120
India.

5152
02:52:42,820 --> 02:52:44,260
So I'm going to tell you what it

5153
02:52:44,260 --> 02:52:47,740
is, because visually you don't get any more

5154
02:52:47,740 --> 02:52:49,340
than you would from what I'm going to

5155
02:52:49,340 --> 02:52:51,640
say, which is she takes a call from

5156
02:52:51,640 --> 02:52:53,660
some guy who wants to get her credit

5157
02:52:53,660 --> 02:52:55,680
card number, and then she plays.

5158
02:52:55,960 --> 02:52:57,000
She says, I'm in the car.

5159
02:52:57,060 --> 02:52:58,240
I'm going to pull over, and then she

5160
02:52:58,240 --> 02:53:02,340
plays a recording of a car crash, claims

5161
02:53:02,340 --> 02:53:05,880
she's been in a car crash, and hilarity

5162
02:53:05,880 --> 02:53:06,520
ensues.

5163
02:53:07,300 --> 02:53:08,800
Can you please give me your credit card

5164
02:53:08,800 --> 02:53:10,180
number so I can help you?

5165
02:53:10,680 --> 02:53:11,280
Yeah, yeah, sure.

5166
02:53:11,360 --> 02:53:12,880
Let me just pull over because I'm driving,

5167
02:53:12,960 --> 02:53:13,200
all right?

5168
02:53:13,940 --> 02:53:14,400
Yeah, sure.

5169
02:53:14,620 --> 02:53:31,570
Can you hear

5170
02:53:31,570 --> 02:53:31,830
me?

5171
02:53:32,170 --> 02:53:32,910
I can hear you.

5172
02:53:33,470 --> 02:53:35,770
I just had a car crash.

5173
02:53:36,210 --> 02:53:37,750
It's going to be all right.

5174
02:53:38,070 --> 02:53:39,250
Don't worry about it.

5175
02:53:39,750 --> 02:53:42,010
Do you have your credit card in touch?

5176
02:53:43,290 --> 02:53:45,890
But I just had a car crash.

5177
02:53:46,930 --> 02:53:47,870
I'm bleeding.

5178
02:53:49,250 --> 02:53:51,850
I just need your credit card number, that's

5179
02:53:51,850 --> 02:53:51,950
all.

5180
02:53:55,270 --> 02:53:57,070
All right, there you go, everybody.

5181
02:53:57,210 --> 02:53:58,970
That is the state of the world according

5182
02:53:58,970 --> 02:53:59,710
to John C.

5183
02:53:59,910 --> 02:54:01,710
Dvorak's very limited worldview.

5184
02:54:02,330 --> 02:54:04,210
I'm going to show my support by donating

5185
02:54:04,210 --> 02:54:05,130
to KnowAgenda.

5186
02:54:05,330 --> 02:54:07,210
Imagine all the people who could do that.

5187
02:54:07,210 --> 02:54:08,430
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

5188
02:54:13,570 --> 02:54:16,290
Yes, indeed.

5189
02:54:16,750 --> 02:54:17,990
Who said that?

5190
02:54:18,250 --> 02:54:18,590
Pfeiffer.

5191
02:54:18,970 --> 02:54:21,250
That clip was the sound of Fonzie jumping

5192
02:54:21,250 --> 02:54:22,410
the shark, John.

5193
02:54:23,090 --> 02:54:23,830
Come on.

5194
02:54:23,870 --> 02:54:24,890
That's where you were.

5195
02:54:25,090 --> 02:54:25,790
Oh, man.

5196
02:54:25,870 --> 02:54:28,350
It's just, I mean, okay, after three hours.

5197
02:54:29,010 --> 02:54:31,050
After three hours, it's okay.

5198
02:54:31,230 --> 02:54:31,890
I'm bleeding.

5199
02:54:32,550 --> 02:54:33,890
What's your credit card number?

5200
02:54:35,310 --> 02:54:36,730
Tip of the day coming up in the

5201
02:54:36,730 --> 02:54:37,210
show mixes.

5202
02:54:37,630 --> 02:54:39,950
We do have a lot of meetups actually

5203
02:54:39,950 --> 02:54:40,710
taking place.

5204
02:54:40,830 --> 02:54:43,810
That'll show you, you naysayers, that meetups are

5205
02:54:43,810 --> 02:54:44,790
still going strong.

5206
02:54:44,890 --> 02:54:45,950
And we have some title changes.

5207
02:54:46,410 --> 02:54:47,910
But first, John's going to thank the rest

5208
02:54:47,910 --> 02:54:51,030
of our financial donors, our supporters who sent

5209
02:54:51,030 --> 02:54:53,010
us back value, $50 and above.

5210
02:54:53,870 --> 02:54:55,670
Yeah, starting with, again, right at the top

5211
02:54:55,670 --> 02:54:57,990
of the list, there's our buddy Dame Rita

5212
02:54:57,990 --> 02:55:03,990
in Sparks, Nevada, $108.14. She comes in

5213
02:55:03,990 --> 02:55:05,950
from, she's a Stripe.

5214
02:55:06,470 --> 02:55:06,710
Yes.

5215
02:55:07,190 --> 02:55:10,130
Dakota Cole in Sherwood, Oregon, $100.

5216
02:55:13,190 --> 02:55:16,150
She has been begging for a, I don't

5217
02:55:16,150 --> 02:55:17,470
know if Dakota's a man or a girl,

5218
02:55:18,350 --> 02:55:20,390
begging for a rain stick pointed at Portland.

5219
02:55:20,570 --> 02:55:20,790
No.

5220
02:55:20,890 --> 02:55:21,150
Nope.

5221
02:55:21,430 --> 02:55:23,030
We are not touching the rain stick.

5222
02:55:23,030 --> 02:55:23,790
We're not doing that.

5223
02:55:23,870 --> 02:55:26,130
Not touching the rain stick for a good

5224
02:55:26,130 --> 02:55:26,510
while.

5225
02:55:26,530 --> 02:55:27,950
And it's going to rain there anyway.

5226
02:55:28,110 --> 02:55:29,470
It's starting to rain in the Pacific Northwest.

5227
02:55:29,470 --> 02:55:29,890
It's raining here.

5228
02:55:30,170 --> 02:55:31,570
I'm not going to touch that thing.

5229
02:55:31,850 --> 02:55:31,950
Nope.

5230
02:55:32,290 --> 02:55:34,590
I love it when people say, hey man,

5231
02:55:35,090 --> 02:55:36,490
did someone touch the rain stick?

5232
02:55:37,530 --> 02:55:37,930
No.

5233
02:55:37,970 --> 02:55:39,110
Yeah, we got that the other day.

5234
02:55:39,130 --> 02:55:40,290
And we do not touch the rain stick.

5235
02:55:40,290 --> 02:55:41,730
No, we don't touch the rain stick.

5236
02:55:41,990 --> 02:55:43,450
Julie Williams doesn't either.

5237

anniversary.

5242
02:55:54,090 --> 02:55:54,690
Oh, nice.

5243
02:55:54,710 --> 02:55:55,090

5248
02:56:16,540 --> 02:56:17,360
fiction character.

02:56:25,340 --> 02:56:25,860
some reason.

5252
02:56:25,860 --> 02:56:26,320
I don't know.

5253
02:56:26,420 --> 02:56:27,700

another anniversary donation.

And he says, God bless America, boobs.

5263
02:56:54,160 --> 02:56:54,300
Yeah.

5265
02:57:05,200 --> 02:57:06,080
Okay, Castorell.

5266

Yeah, that would be it.

He always comes in with $8.008 once

5270
02:57:12,260 --> 02:57:12,660
in a while.

5271
02:57:12,880 --> 02:57:13,800
Always once in a while.

5273

Yeah, $68.86 is bouncing boobs.

5280
02:57:34,460 --> 02:57:34,620
Hello?

5281
02:57:35,920 --> 02:57:37,060
I saw the sad puppy.

5283
02:57:42,240 --> 02:57:42,520
Okay.

5284
02:57:43,660 --> 02:57:44,860

No, no, $66.00. Oh, $66.00. I've

5291
02:58:00,660 --> 02:58:01,460
already made her older.

That's a Dutchman.

5301
02:58:38,440 --> 02:58:39,240
No, it's German.

5302
02:58:39,860 --> 02:58:40,180
Is it?

5303
02:58:40,200 --> 02:58:40,520
You sure?

5304
02:58:40,520 --> 02:58:41,800
Well, it says D-E.

5305

Hmm.

5310
02:58:55,980 --> 02:58:59,780
I think that's national semiconductor enumeration.

5311
02:58:59,880 --> 02:59:00,480
I could be wrong.

5312
02:59:01,740 --> 02:59:02,520

ditch mail, chimp.

5331
03:00:11,900 --> 03:00:12,440
Wow.

5332
03:00:12,840 --> 03:00:13,880
I'm sorry.

5333
03:00:14,880 --> 03:00:15,980
No, not you.

5334
03:00:16,060 --> 03:00:19,320
I'm talking about him adding the fees.

Yeah.

5336
03:00:20,960 --> 03:00:23,120
And then getting it past the $49.99.

5337
03:00:23,240 --> 03:00:26,340
No, no, $49.99. No, your secret is

5338

Try ConvertKit.

He speaks in riddles.

5343
03:00:41,100 --> 03:00:43,400
Well, something about the male chimp and ConvertKit

5344
03:00:43,400 --> 03:00:45,340
may be something better than the male chimp.

5345
03:00:45,340 --> 03:00:46,360
Oh, that's what it is.

5346
03:00:46,380 --> 03:00:47,720
Looks like a native ad to me.

5347
03:00:48,340 --> 03:00:49,340
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

5348
03:00:49,440 --> 03:00:50,960
Smells like ketamine to me.

Marius Uv.

5350
03:00:53,220 --> 03:00:54,520

Thanks for Noah Jenner for being part of

5363
03:01:20,400 --> 03:01:23,000
keeping me sane and sober every year of

5364
03:01:23,000 --> 03:01:23,240
that.

5365
03:01:23,820 --> 03:01:24,900
Congratulations, Matthew.

5366
03:01:25,020 --> 03:01:26,560

He's a producer.

03:01:31,600 --> 03:01:32,760

03:01:39,240 --> 03:01:42,260
donors, a little more than last week, say

5375
03:01:42,260 --> 03:01:42,660
the least.

in Aledo, Texas.

5388
03:02:12,740 --> 03:02:13,940
We got a lot of Texans today.

5389
03:02:14,100 --> 03:02:14,420
We do.

5390
03:02:14,560 --> 03:02:15,440
And I want to talk about the newsletter

5391
03:02:15,440 --> 03:02:17,680
before we say thanks to everybody.

5392
03:02:18,020 --> 03:02:18,340
Okay.

5393
03:02:18,520 --> 03:02:19,940
So I go to MailChimp.

5394
03:02:20,640 --> 03:02:23,180
Which has been our go-to tool for

5395
03:02:23,180 --> 03:02:24,020
over a decade.

5396
03:02:24,820 --> 03:02:25,880
Yeah, and it works.

5397
03:02:26,120 --> 03:02:27,720
It keeps track of things.

5398
03:02:27,880 --> 03:02:30,200
It does a pretty decent job, even though

5399
03:02:30,200 --> 03:02:31,900
it's dropping out recently.

5400
03:02:32,440 --> 03:02:34,080
So I go there, and you put in

5401
03:02:34,080 --> 03:02:35,120
who you're going to send this to.

5402
03:02:35,180 --> 03:02:35,840
You click the button.

5403
03:02:35,960 --> 03:02:38,340
It immediately sends you an error message saying,

5404
03:02:38,780 --> 03:02:40,980
you got your Google Translate.

5405
03:02:41,460 --> 03:02:42,620
It's turned on.

5406
03:02:42,720 --> 03:02:43,140
What?

5407
03:02:44,120 --> 03:02:44,560
What?

5408
03:02:44,980 --> 03:02:45,700
It's in your browser.

5409
03:02:46,140 --> 03:02:46,320
Google Translate.

5410
03:02:46,700 --> 03:02:48,380
So I try again, try it again.

5411
03:02:48,380 --> 03:02:50,300
I try it, do test mailings, nothing.

5412
03:02:50,420 --> 03:02:52,240
It keeps coming up with the Google Translate

5413
03:02:52,240 --> 03:02:52,480
thing.

5414
03:02:52,760 --> 03:02:53,780
I'm not even on Google.

5415
03:02:53,880 --> 03:02:54,680
I'm not using Chrome.

5416
03:02:54,880 --> 03:02:56,500
No, but what are you using?

5417
03:02:56,700 --> 03:02:58,280
You're using Firefox or Bravo?

5418
03:02:58,420 --> 03:02:59,180
Yeah, I use Firefox.

5419
03:03:01,300 --> 03:03:04,720
And so I call.

5420
03:03:04,820 --> 03:03:07,540
Wait, do you have a widget thing installed?

5421
03:03:08,720 --> 03:03:10,620
No, there's nothing going on.

5422
03:03:10,760 --> 03:03:11,200
No extension?

5423
03:03:11,640 --> 03:03:12,980
It was them from the get-go.

5424
03:03:13,020 --> 03:03:13,300
Okay.

5425
03:03:13,860 --> 03:03:16,120
So I call customer support, and they have

5426
03:03:16,120 --> 03:03:16,980
good customer support.

5427
03:03:17,060 --> 03:03:17,720
They call me back.

5428
03:03:17,720 --> 03:03:19,640
Even though they didn't call me back right

5429
03:03:19,640 --> 03:03:20,480
away like they said.

5430
03:03:20,880 --> 03:03:23,100
So they call me back, and I, yeah,

5431
03:03:23,300 --> 03:03:23,860
can I help you?

5432
03:03:23,980 --> 03:03:24,780
And they say, what's your problem?

5433
03:03:24,840 --> 03:03:26,040
And I told them what it was, and

5434
03:03:26,040 --> 03:03:28,100
they know what the problem is because as

5435
03:03:28,100 --> 03:03:29,600
soon as I explained it, she says, oh,

5436
03:03:29,700 --> 03:03:31,420
well, yes.

5437
03:03:31,920 --> 03:03:33,100
This is a problem.

5438
03:03:33,320 --> 03:03:35,780
We've got admin working on system level.

5439
03:03:36,160 --> 03:03:39,480
Oh, we've elevated this to our tech superior.

5440
03:03:39,940 --> 03:03:40,900
No, they've been working on it.

5441
03:03:41,040 --> 03:03:44,000
Before I called, they could have cut the

5442
03:03:44,000 --> 03:03:47,120
call short, and they said it's going to

5443
03:03:47,120 --> 03:03:48,680
take an hour or two at least.

5444
03:03:50,080 --> 03:03:52,260
So, but in the meantime, because they didn't

5445
03:03:52,260 --> 03:03:55,060
call back right away, turns out that their

5446
03:03:55,060 --> 03:03:57,800
module that sent plain text out, which is

5447
03:03:57,800 --> 03:04:01,260
different, worked fine, and it took the mailing

5448
03:04:01,260 --> 03:04:01,920
list and everything.

5449
03:04:02,040 --> 03:04:04,180
So I sent out a plain text message

5450
03:04:04,180 --> 03:04:05,720
saying the newsletter was borked.

5451
03:04:06,360 --> 03:04:07,900
Meanwhile, so I get a bunch of notes

5452
03:04:07,900 --> 03:04:08,280
from people.

5453
03:04:08,520 --> 03:04:10,440
Well, I didn't get the newsletter, and it's

5454
03:04:10,440 --> 03:04:12,260
like, I'm sorry, and they go on and

5455
03:04:12,260 --> 03:04:12,360
on.

5456
03:04:12,420 --> 03:04:13,740
They didn't read the letter.

5457
03:04:13,740 --> 03:04:16,160
The letter says clearly that it would not

5458
03:04:16,160 --> 03:04:17,220
send the newsletter.

5459
03:04:18,000 --> 03:04:19,240
So I got a bunch, I had to

5460
03:04:19,240 --> 03:04:21,260
deal with people that said, well, the reason

5461
03:04:21,260 --> 03:04:24,040
the newsletter didn't come is because of this

5462
03:04:24,040 --> 03:04:24,460
and that.

5463
03:04:25,020 --> 03:04:27,180
And no, it's because they were screwed up

5464
03:04:27,180 --> 03:04:28,620
at the front end.

5465
03:04:29,280 --> 03:04:30,720
MailChimp couldn't send it.

5466
03:04:30,840 --> 03:04:33,120
My favorite is I get all kinds of

5467
03:04:33,120 --> 03:04:35,480
notes from people who then try to email

5468
03:04:35,480 --> 03:04:38,540
you and say either I got the email

5469
03:04:38,540 --> 03:04:40,960
or whatever they want to say, and they

5470
03:04:40,960 --> 03:04:44,300
get a rejection from your email server saying

5471
03:04:44,300 --> 03:04:50,540
rude content, illegal person, blacklist, reject, reject, reject.

5472
03:04:50,880 --> 03:04:52,500
And then they get mad at me.

5473
03:04:52,880 --> 03:04:53,220
Like, rude.

5474
03:04:53,240 --> 03:04:54,960
Yeah, I get mad at somebody.

5475
03:04:55,040 --> 03:04:57,200
Well, your email system is horrible.

5476
03:04:58,020 --> 03:05:00,800
I can whitelist people that have problems.

5477
03:05:00,800 --> 03:05:02,640
Well, you can't whitelist people if they can't

5478
03:05:02,640 --> 03:05:03,180
get to you.

5479
03:05:03,660 --> 03:05:04,340
That's true.

5480
03:05:05,300 --> 03:05:06,300
Actually, you can.

5481
03:05:06,360 --> 03:05:07,380
You can do it by hand.

5482
03:05:07,380 --> 03:05:09,340
Yeah, but you don't know if they're trying

5483
03:05:09,340 --> 03:05:11,340
to get to you, if they're rejected by

5484
03:05:11,340 --> 03:05:14,220
your overzealous spam filter.

5485
03:05:15,060 --> 03:05:16,220
It's a little aggressive.

5486
03:05:16,440 --> 03:05:17,760
I'm not going to argue that point.

5487
03:05:17,940 --> 03:05:18,840
A little aggressive.

5488
03:05:19,240 --> 03:05:20,780
I'm like your secretary.

5489
03:05:21,460 --> 03:05:23,200
Okay, I'll forward another one.

5490
03:05:23,300 --> 03:05:24,800
Well, you finally found a niche.

5491
03:05:25,980 --> 03:05:26,380
Okay.

5492
03:05:26,740 --> 03:05:28,460
Anyway, so I have a specialist prop.

5493
03:05:28,600 --> 03:05:31,140
Sorry about the, you know, and every time

5494
03:05:31,140 --> 03:05:33,200
I do send out two of these things

5495
03:05:33,200 --> 03:05:36,500
instead of one, you know, people unsubscribe.

5496
03:05:36,500 --> 03:05:37,500
I unsubscribe.

5497
03:05:38,340 --> 03:05:39,980
There's too much stuff in my mailbox.

5498
03:05:41,120 --> 03:05:41,880
ConvertKit, man.

5499
03:05:41,960 --> 03:05:43,200
That's the answer, obviously.

5500
03:05:43,400 --> 03:05:44,600
I'm going to look into it.

5501
03:05:44,720 --> 03:05:44,960
Yes.

5502
03:05:45,140 --> 03:05:48,320
Thank you to these producers who have supported

5503
03:05:48,320 --> 03:05:49,400
us, $50 and above.

5504
03:05:49,520 --> 03:05:51,660
Again, thanks to the executive and associate executive

5505
03:05:51,660 --> 03:05:53,700
producers for episode 1790.

5506
03:05:54,240 --> 03:05:56,320
And as always, we will not thank anybody

5507
03:05:56,320 --> 03:05:59,860
under $50 for reasons of anonymity.

5508
03:05:59,980 --> 03:06:02,700
So $49.99. Don't add the fees, otherwise

5509
03:06:02,700 --> 03:06:03,640
we can get in trouble.

5510
03:06:03,640 --> 03:06:06,140
And as always, thank you to all of

5511
03:06:06,140 --> 03:06:09,060
these sustaining donors who just keep on donating

5512
03:06:09,060 --> 03:06:12,640
small amounts regularly, automatically.

5513
03:06:13,000 --> 03:06:14,060
It's a sustained donation.

5514
03:06:14,220 --> 03:06:15,480
Any amount, any frequency.

5515
03:06:15,660 --> 03:06:16,480
We appreciate it.

5516
03:06:16,560 --> 03:06:17,800
Noahjim.donations.com.

5517
03:06:23,000 --> 03:06:25,220
We got three on the list today.

5518
03:06:25,380 --> 03:06:26,920
Sir Rekhalston Crazy Steve.

5519
03:06:27,320 --> 03:06:30,360
The second wishes Sir Montauk a happy 45th

5520
03:06:30,360 --> 03:06:30,640
birthday.

5521
03:06:30,720 --> 03:06:31,840
He'll be celebrating tomorrow.

5522
03:06:31,840 --> 03:06:35,580
Bill turns 40 on the 16th and Baroness

5523
03:06:35,580 --> 03:06:39,820
Carolann of So Calorado turns 66 on August

5524
03:06:39,820 --> 03:06:40,110
23rd.

5525
03:06:40,600 --> 03:06:42,580
So of course we say happy birthday from

5526
03:06:42,580 --> 03:06:44,680
everybody here at the best podcast in the

5527
03:06:44,680 --> 03:06:44,970
universe.

5528
03:06:56,520 --> 03:06:58,440
And we see two of our producers move

5529
03:06:58,440 --> 03:06:59,380
up the peers ladder.

5530
03:06:59,380 --> 03:07:02,380
Thanks to an additional aggregate $1,000 in

5531
03:07:02,380 --> 03:07:02,780
support.

5532
03:07:02,860 --> 03:07:03,520
It is so appreciated.

5533
03:07:04,580 --> 03:07:06,680
Sir Furr now becomes Sir Furr Baron of

5534
03:07:06,680 --> 03:07:07,600
Shasta County.

5535
03:07:08,520 --> 03:07:10,880
And Sir Camera Chris, he sent us this

5536
03:07:10,880 --> 03:07:13,300
note and he said, you know, I should

5537
03:07:13,300 --> 03:07:15,480
have been upgraded to Baronette on Sunday's show.

5538
03:07:15,620 --> 03:07:16,620
You guys got my birthday.

5539
03:07:16,760 --> 03:07:17,980
And yes, John, I'm sorry to make it

5540
03:07:17,980 --> 03:07:18,420
complicated.

5541
03:07:18,800 --> 03:07:20,920
I just know sometimes like to know about

5542
03:07:20,920 --> 03:07:21,480
the numerology.

5543
03:07:21,600 --> 03:07:22,920
You guys nailed the birthday, but I should

5544
03:07:22,920 --> 03:07:23,500
have been upgraded.

5545
03:07:24,480 --> 03:07:26,140
He said, by the way, this was not

5546
03:07:26,140 --> 03:07:28,100
an angry voice, but I can't help myself.

5547
03:07:28,720 --> 03:07:30,680
And so, but you know, you, it is

5548
03:07:30,680 --> 03:07:32,040
a self-serve system.

5549
03:07:32,040 --> 03:07:33,840
So you have to let us know if

5550
03:07:33,840 --> 03:07:34,540
you've been upgraded.

5551
03:07:34,640 --> 03:07:35,840
We don't track that.

5552
03:07:36,020 --> 03:07:38,500
We can't even track a male chimp for

5553
03:07:38,500 --> 03:07:38,960
Christ's sake.

5554
03:07:39,020 --> 03:07:41,280
So no, please.

5555
03:07:41,880 --> 03:07:43,040
Sorry about that.

5556
03:07:44,180 --> 03:07:45,720
Please let us know.

5557
03:07:45,800 --> 03:07:47,820
And just because we did not, even if,

5558
03:07:48,140 --> 03:07:50,320
even if we forgot to upgrade you, there's

5559
03:07:50,320 --> 03:07:52,760
no such thing as a black Baronette.

5560
03:07:53,220 --> 03:07:54,660
It can be a black night and that's

5561
03:07:54,660 --> 03:07:56,020
when we really screw it up.

5562
03:07:56,020 --> 03:07:57,520
And it's always very obvious that when that

5563
03:07:57,520 --> 03:07:57,840
happens.

5564
03:07:58,020 --> 03:08:01,360
So congratulations, Sir Camera Chris, you became, or

5565
03:08:01,360 --> 03:08:05,220
you become Sir Camera Chris Baronette Baylor.

5566
03:08:05,640 --> 03:08:07,180
And that's about all I got for you.

5567
03:08:07,320 --> 03:08:08,420
But we appreciate it, ma'am.

5568
03:08:08,880 --> 03:08:11,380
Wear that new title with pride.

5569
03:08:12,760 --> 03:08:14,840
No nights, no dames, but we do have

5570
03:08:14,840 --> 03:08:15,500
a couple of meetups.

5571
03:08:15,580 --> 03:08:17,060
In fact, quite a few meetups to discuss.

5572
03:08:17,060 --> 03:08:20,580
No Agenda Meetups.

5573
03:08:24,620 --> 03:08:27,400
Clearly John has a new noisemaker.

5574
03:08:27,540 --> 03:08:28,920
I don't know who gave it to you.

5575
03:08:30,240 --> 03:08:31,960
Mimi gave it to me for the anniversary.

5576
03:08:32,340 --> 03:08:32,680
Ah.

5577
03:08:33,580 --> 03:08:35,180
It's only train noises.

5578
03:08:35,440 --> 03:08:36,960
That's a good wife right there.

5579
03:08:37,180 --> 03:08:37,880
Trad wife.

5580
03:08:38,180 --> 03:08:38,780
Train wife.

5581
03:08:42,860 --> 03:08:45,960
No Agenda Meetups is where you can find

5582
03:08:45,960 --> 03:08:48,360
the first responders in an emergency in your

5583
03:08:48,360 --> 03:08:48,660
area.

5584
03:08:48,660 --> 03:08:50,000
Connection is protection.

5585
03:08:50,140 --> 03:08:51,440
And you find that at a No Agenda

5586
03:08:51,440 --> 03:08:51,760
Meetup.

5587
03:08:51,820 --> 03:08:52,880
These are producer-organized.

5588
03:08:52,960 --> 03:08:53,760
They're completely free.

5589
03:08:54,120 --> 03:08:54,920
You all get together.

5590
03:08:55,060 --> 03:08:55,500
You yak.

5591
03:08:55,580 --> 03:08:56,060
You talk.

5592
03:08:56,100 --> 03:08:57,020
You have a good time.

5593
03:08:57,340 --> 03:08:58,740
And you meet some friends.

5594
03:08:58,820 --> 03:08:59,580
You make new friends.

5595
03:08:59,760 --> 03:09:01,600
I mean, why spend money on a dating

5596
03:09:01,600 --> 03:09:03,240
app when you go to a No Agenda

5597
03:09:03,240 --> 03:09:03,680
Meetup?

5598
03:09:03,700 --> 03:09:05,060
And we have a few taking place.

5599
03:09:05,100 --> 03:09:08,400
In fact, one today, the Northern Wake Broiling

5600
03:09:08,400 --> 03:09:10,680
August Meetup, 6 o'clock at Hoppy Endings

5601
03:09:10,680 --> 03:09:11,700
in Raleigh, North Carolina.

5602
03:09:12,040 --> 03:09:13,560
I don't think they ever send us a

5603
03:09:13,560 --> 03:09:15,220
Meetup report, yet they have a lot of

5604
03:09:15,220 --> 03:09:15,360
them.

5605
03:09:15,440 --> 03:09:16,560
So please do so.

5606
03:09:16,560 --> 03:09:19,080
On Saturday, the No Agenda Mid-Cities Meetup

5607
03:09:19,080 --> 03:09:20,300
at 1130 in the morning.

5608
03:09:20,460 --> 03:09:22,040
But hey, it's at Bourbon Street Bar and

5609
03:09:22,040 --> 03:09:23,100
Grill in Bedford, Texas.

5610
03:09:23,320 --> 03:09:24,920
So hey, get ready for it.

5611
03:09:25,560 --> 03:09:28,460
And then we have the 5th Annual Central

5612
03:09:28,460 --> 03:09:29,840
Texas Float Meet.

5613
03:09:29,980 --> 03:09:32,420
I should actually think I have their promo.

5614
03:09:32,640 --> 03:09:33,860
I have their promo here.

5615
03:09:34,020 --> 03:09:34,920
Yes, let's play the promo.

5616
03:09:36,120 --> 03:09:38,320
Take me down to the river.

5617
03:09:38,800 --> 03:09:41,300
I can hold your body close to mine.

5618
03:09:42,940 --> 03:09:44,020
This is Baron Scott.

5619
03:09:44,360 --> 03:09:45,300
And Sir Ducifer.

5620
03:09:45,860 --> 03:09:48,120
It's time again for the 5th Annual Central

5621
03:09:48,120 --> 03:09:51,100
Texas Float Meet, set for Saturday, August 16th.

5622
03:09:51,160 --> 03:09:52,660
Now we're going to start this thing at

5623
03:09:52,660 --> 03:09:55,420
the 72-degree Springfed San Marcos River.

5624
03:09:55,660 --> 03:09:57,200
Then we will move the party over to

5625
03:09:57,200 --> 03:09:59,100
Ivers River Pub overlooking the river in the

5626
03:09:59,100 --> 03:10:00,060
heart of San Marcos.

5627
03:10:00,540 --> 03:10:02,920
Go to No Agenda Meetups for details and

5628
03:10:02,920 --> 03:10:05,220
to RSVP for both the morning 3R float

5629
03:10:05,220 --> 03:10:06,580
and the afternoon Meetup.

5630
03:10:06,920 --> 03:10:10,340
Remember, connection is protection on the river.

5631
03:10:11,660 --> 03:10:13,580
Take me down to the river.

5632
03:10:14,160 --> 03:10:14,980
There you go.

5633
03:10:14,980 --> 03:10:16,380
So it's really two Meetups.

5634
03:10:16,520 --> 03:10:19,160
You start in the morning at 1030 at

5635
03:10:19,160 --> 03:10:21,180
the Texas State Tubes in San Marcos, and

5636
03:10:21,180 --> 03:10:22,580
you float all the way down to Ivers

5637
03:10:22,580 --> 03:10:24,240
River Pub, and then they have a Meetup

5638
03:10:24,240 --> 03:10:25,040
there at 3 o'clock.

5639
03:10:25,440 --> 03:10:26,140
It's always good.

5640
03:10:26,260 --> 03:10:27,380
Sir Ducifer is going to be there, and

5641
03:10:27,380 --> 03:10:28,900
so is Baron Scott of the Armory.

5642
03:10:29,280 --> 03:10:32,260
Also on Saturday, the Fort Wayne 33 Dadgum

5643
03:10:32,260 --> 03:10:35,720
Sealed Indictments, August 1st, August Meetup, 1 p

5644
03:10:35,720 --> 03:10:37,620
.m. at Hall's Tavern in Coventry.

5645
03:10:37,720 --> 03:10:38,880
That's Fort Wayne, Indiana.

5646
03:10:39,420 --> 03:10:42,800
And on Saturday as well, Week 33, Orazund

5647
03:10:42,800 --> 03:10:43,220
Meetup.

5648
03:10:43,220 --> 03:10:47,560
That's the one in Copenhagen at Mikkele Baghaven

5649
03:10:47,560 --> 03:10:51,520
Ref's Hulluhulluhulluhullun is Fair Vignügen.

5650
03:10:51,600 --> 03:10:55,220
And that's our buddy, Paul Pierdeman.

5651
03:10:55,320 --> 03:10:58,140
He's a Dutch guy who lives in Copenhagen.

5652
03:10:58,260 --> 03:11:00,180
I'm looking forward to that Meetup report, gentlemen.

5653
03:11:00,700 --> 03:11:04,180
And finally, on the 17th, Sunday, that's our

5654
03:11:04,180 --> 03:11:05,800
next show day.

5655
03:11:05,960 --> 03:11:06,220
Wow.

5656
03:11:06,300 --> 03:11:07,580
There's a lot coming up in just a

5657
03:11:07,580 --> 03:11:07,920
few days.

5658
03:11:08,200 --> 03:11:10,420
The Local 360 Meetup, 11 o'clock in

5659
03:11:10,420 --> 03:11:13,500
the morning in Blaine, Washington, at 277 G

5660
03:11:13,500 --> 03:11:14,100
Street.

5661
03:11:14,260 --> 03:11:15,700
Be there or be square.

5662
03:11:16,160 --> 03:11:18,080
Thank you for organizing these.

5663
03:11:18,160 --> 03:11:19,920
If you feel like it, do a report.

5664
03:11:19,980 --> 03:11:20,640
We love hearing it.

5665
03:11:20,680 --> 03:11:21,480
Include your server.

5666
03:11:21,940 --> 03:11:23,860
And for all the information about NOAA Genuine

5667
03:11:23,860 --> 03:11:25,600
Meetups, where to find one, where to go,

5668
03:11:25,700 --> 03:11:27,500
what to do, go to noagenuinemeetups.com.

5669
03:11:27,560 --> 03:11:30,140
If you can't find one there, start one

5670
03:11:30,140 --> 03:11:30,580
yourself.

5671
03:11:30,700 --> 03:11:32,280
It's always easy in a party.

5672
03:11:51,800 --> 03:11:53,840
It's always like a grand party.

5673
03:11:54,820 --> 03:11:57,500
I think I actually might have some contenders

5674
03:11:57,500 --> 03:12:00,080
for ISO, end of show ISO for today's

5675
03:12:00,080 --> 03:12:00,340
show.

5676
03:12:00,360 --> 03:12:01,980
Oh good, because I only have one lousy

5677
03:12:01,980 --> 03:12:02,220
one.

5678
03:12:02,680 --> 03:12:04,340
Only one and it's lousy?

5679
03:12:04,580 --> 03:12:06,520
Why did you even bring it to the

5680
03:12:06,520 --> 03:12:06,620
show?

5681
03:12:06,620 --> 03:12:07,400
But it could be good.

5682
03:12:07,520 --> 03:12:08,320
It might be good.

5683
03:12:08,460 --> 03:12:08,780
All right.

5684
03:12:08,800 --> 03:12:09,900
Should we play yours first?

5685
03:12:10,360 --> 03:12:10,880
Yeah, sure.

5686
03:12:11,140 --> 03:12:13,160
Or insert code happy before checkout.

5687
03:12:14,000 --> 03:12:14,640
Oh no.

5688
03:12:14,820 --> 03:12:15,780
AI slop.

5689
03:12:16,080 --> 03:12:16,800
No, no, no.

5690
03:12:16,800 --> 03:12:18,220
That wasn't AI at all.

5691
03:12:18,420 --> 03:12:19,960
Oh, you're telling me that wasn't AI?

5692
03:12:20,140 --> 03:12:21,100
Then you just got duped.

5693
03:12:21,140 --> 03:12:21,680
That's AI.

5694
03:12:21,820 --> 03:12:23,740
Or insert code happy before checkout.

5695
03:12:24,400 --> 03:12:26,780
No, that was not AI, because the guy's

5696
03:12:26,780 --> 03:12:28,860
voice, he does a show on NPR.

5697
03:12:29,260 --> 03:12:29,620
Insert.

5698
03:12:30,220 --> 03:12:32,280
Or insert code happy before checkout.

5699
03:12:32,740 --> 03:12:33,220
Oh goodness.

5700
03:12:33,220 --> 03:12:35,420
He's got that slightly gay voice that NPR

5701
03:12:35,420 --> 03:12:36,000
guys have.

5702
03:12:36,060 --> 03:12:36,740
Yeah, slightly.

5703
03:12:37,260 --> 03:12:38,060
Here's mine.

5704
03:12:38,220 --> 03:12:39,140
Cut one.

5705
03:12:39,320 --> 03:12:39,860
Cut one.

5706
03:12:39,980 --> 03:12:42,000
Boy, it's not a podcast.

5707
03:12:42,640 --> 03:12:43,940
It's a platform.

5708
03:12:45,620 --> 03:12:46,140
Okay.

5709
03:12:46,700 --> 03:12:47,360
I like it.

5710
03:12:47,440 --> 03:12:47,880
It's too long.

5711
03:12:48,000 --> 03:12:48,800
Yeah, it's a little too long.

5712
03:12:48,900 --> 03:12:50,520
It was a lot of fun.

5713
03:12:52,120 --> 03:12:53,160
Oh brother.

5714
03:12:53,720 --> 03:12:54,480
Here we go.

5715
03:12:54,860 --> 03:12:57,800
They talk more than I do.

5716
03:12:58,280 --> 03:12:59,420
This is our new...

5717
03:12:59,420 --> 03:13:00,580
I couldn't hear it.

5718
03:13:00,600 --> 03:13:01,940
Well, maybe you can hear her in this

5719
03:13:01,940 --> 03:13:02,220
one.

5720
03:13:03,360 --> 03:13:05,420
Ooh, he's a podcaster.

5721
03:13:08,000 --> 03:13:09,920
Oh, you couldn't hear it, huh?

5722
03:13:10,220 --> 03:13:13,360
They talk more than I do.

5723
03:13:14,800 --> 03:13:16,240
I think that one will have to do,

5724
03:13:16,340 --> 03:13:17,500
but if you can amp it up a

5725
03:13:17,500 --> 03:13:18,260
bit, it wouldn't hurt.

5726
03:13:18,380 --> 03:13:19,520
Oh, it's already quite amped.

5727
03:13:19,560 --> 03:13:20,280
You didn't like this one.

5728
03:13:20,280 --> 03:13:22,280
Boy, it's not a podcast.

5729
03:13:22,940 --> 03:13:23,960
It's a platform.

5730
03:13:24,880 --> 03:13:25,240
Okay.

5731
03:13:25,300 --> 03:13:25,980
Let's use that.

5732
03:13:26,120 --> 03:13:27,240
I thought that was kind of good.

5733
03:13:27,300 --> 03:13:27,900
I like that one.

5734
03:13:27,900 --> 03:13:30,100
Hey everybody, it's that highlight of your show.

5735
03:13:30,200 --> 03:13:31,480
It is time for John's tip of the

5736
03:13:31,480 --> 03:13:31,800
day.

5737
03:13:42,140 --> 03:13:44,100
Well, I've got a product that was brought

5738
03:13:44,100 --> 03:13:46,680
to my attention by somebody in a chat

5739
03:13:46,680 --> 03:13:47,300
room.

5740
03:13:47,360 --> 03:13:47,660
No.

5741
03:13:47,740 --> 03:13:49,060
Chat room or troll room?

5742
03:13:49,840 --> 03:13:51,780
I don't know what to call them.

5743
03:13:52,340 --> 03:13:53,220
But it was some...

5744
03:13:53,220 --> 03:13:54,600
I forgot where it was.

5745
03:13:55,500 --> 03:13:55,940
Fusenet.

5746
03:13:57,980 --> 03:13:58,900
There you go.

5747
03:13:59,320 --> 03:13:59,620
Fusenet.

5748
03:13:59,620 --> 03:14:03,200
And they claimed it was, you could use

5749
03:14:03,200 --> 03:14:03,960
this stuff.

5750
03:14:05,580 --> 03:14:07,160
And we did some research.

5751
03:14:07,340 --> 03:14:08,800
Mimi and I both did some research on

5752
03:14:08,800 --> 03:14:11,420
this in various Reddit forums and elsewhere.

5753
03:14:11,640 --> 03:14:13,180
And it turned out that this, what I'm

5754
03:14:13,180 --> 03:14:14,780
about to tell you is bullcrap.

5755
03:14:14,920 --> 03:14:15,380
Oh, okay.

5756
03:14:16,080 --> 03:14:18,300
But the product is still a good product.

5757
03:14:18,580 --> 03:14:24,980
The product is Rust-Oleum 214944.

5758
03:14:25,380 --> 03:14:25,900
It's a number.

5759
03:14:26,000 --> 03:14:26,860
You have to know that number.

5760
03:14:28,380 --> 03:14:30,540
Specialty reflective spray.

5761
03:14:31,400 --> 03:14:32,980
Semi-transparent, clear...

5762
03:14:32,980 --> 03:14:33,220
Oh, wait.

5763
03:14:33,500 --> 03:14:34,120
Let me guess.

5764
03:14:34,580 --> 03:14:36,400
You spray this on your license plate and

5765
03:14:36,400 --> 03:14:37,580
the camera can't see it?

5766
03:14:38,520 --> 03:14:39,280
At night.

5767
03:14:39,720 --> 03:14:40,520
Ah, I knew it.

5768
03:14:41,060 --> 03:14:42,660
When it splashes, when it hits the flash,

5769
03:14:42,700 --> 03:14:45,100
when it flashes, it'll black out the camera.

5770
03:14:45,100 --> 03:14:46,820
It reflects so much.

5771
03:14:47,300 --> 03:14:50,580
Well, many plates in some states are already

5772
03:14:50,580 --> 03:14:51,200
reflective.

5773
03:14:51,420 --> 03:14:52,380
And so that's bullcrap.

5774
03:14:52,580 --> 03:14:55,980
And it turns out it's a bullcrap thesis.

5775
03:14:57,160 --> 03:14:58,460
It doesn't work.

5776
03:14:58,560 --> 03:15:00,460
And it definitely doesn't work during the day.

5777
03:15:00,580 --> 03:15:01,560
What kind of tip is this?

5778
03:15:01,620 --> 03:15:02,260
What's the tip?

5779
03:15:03,420 --> 03:15:04,960
It's a great product.

5780
03:15:05,360 --> 03:15:07,380
You can spray it on anything that needs...

5781
03:15:07,380 --> 03:15:09,840
If you're a bicyclist, you spray it on

5782
03:15:09,840 --> 03:15:10,480
the back of the bike.

5783
03:15:10,800 --> 03:15:11,580
It's clear.

5784
03:15:11,820 --> 03:15:12,380
It's transparent.

5785
03:15:12,580 --> 03:15:14,000
So it's like a clear coat.

5786
03:15:14,140 --> 03:15:16,180
And you spray it on anything you want.

5787
03:15:16,600 --> 03:15:18,280
And it reflects like a...

5788
03:15:18,280 --> 03:15:19,820
It's just amazing.

5789
03:15:20,060 --> 03:15:21,520
It lights up the street.

5790
03:15:22,160 --> 03:15:23,460
It's so reflective.

5791
03:15:23,760 --> 03:15:25,120
It's a terrific product for it.

5792
03:15:25,460 --> 03:15:27,500
You paint your mailbox or something if you're

5793
03:15:27,500 --> 03:15:29,060
in some road where...

5794
03:15:29,060 --> 03:15:29,160
Your dog?

5795
03:15:29,420 --> 03:15:30,380
Can you do it on your dog?

5796
03:15:30,480 --> 03:15:33,320
You could spray paint your dog.

5797
03:15:33,500 --> 03:15:33,920
You could.

5798
03:15:34,460 --> 03:15:35,940
I don't think the dog would appreciate it.

5799
03:15:35,940 --> 03:15:37,280
But you could spray paint the collar.

5800
03:15:37,600 --> 03:15:39,120
You could spray paint the back of something

5801
03:15:39,120 --> 03:15:39,900
if you're a jogger.

5802
03:15:39,900 --> 03:15:42,280
There's a lot of possible uses for this

5803
03:15:42,280 --> 03:15:50,500
Rust-Oleum 214944 specialty reflective spray, semi-transparent

5804
03:15:50,500 --> 03:15:51,280
clear finish.

5805
03:15:51,320 --> 03:15:52,520
I'm going to get some for Tina.

5806
03:15:52,880 --> 03:15:53,600
Thank you for this.

5807
03:15:53,660 --> 03:15:54,200
Dynamite product.

5808
03:15:54,240 --> 03:15:56,300
Because she does a walk every morning.

5809
03:15:56,400 --> 03:15:58,740
She gets up and before anything, she goes

5810
03:15:58,740 --> 03:16:00,620
out for a walk with her weighted vest.

5811
03:16:00,820 --> 03:16:02,580
And she goes out for half an hour.

5812
03:16:03,240 --> 03:16:04,640
And I said this morning, I said, you

5813
03:16:04,640 --> 03:16:06,020
know, pretty soon it's going to be dark.

5814
03:16:06,020 --> 03:16:07,840
And I don't want you walking out there

5815
03:16:07,840 --> 03:16:09,640
alone on the street, you know, in the

5816
03:16:09,640 --> 03:16:09,900
dark.

5817
03:16:09,960 --> 03:16:10,800
Not for...

5818
03:16:10,800 --> 03:16:12,260
I mean, she's packing, so you don't want

5819
03:16:12,260 --> 03:16:12,820
to mess with her.

5820
03:16:12,860 --> 03:16:13,600
But, you know, cars.

5821
03:16:14,300 --> 03:16:15,960
And so this would be a great thing.

5822
03:16:16,000 --> 03:16:17,580
So I can spray paint my wife and

5823
03:16:17,580 --> 03:16:18,240
she'll be safe.

5824
03:16:18,540 --> 03:16:19,920
Well, you can spray paint the back of

5825
03:16:19,920 --> 03:16:21,300
the pack she's wearing or whatever.

5826
03:16:21,400 --> 03:16:23,300
You can spray paint different things with it.

5827
03:16:23,640 --> 03:16:25,240
But you have to follow instructions.

5828
03:16:25,440 --> 03:16:27,240
And the key to success, by the way,

5829
03:16:27,500 --> 03:16:28,980
you have to be careful with all these

5830
03:16:28,980 --> 03:16:30,340
kinds of sprays.

5831
03:16:30,460 --> 03:16:30,900
Oh, yes.

5832
03:16:30,980 --> 03:16:31,740
The key to success.

5833
03:16:31,940 --> 03:16:33,680
You got to shake the crap out of

5834
03:16:33,680 --> 03:16:33,780
it.

5835
03:16:33,780 --> 03:16:35,580
You have to shake, shake, shake because it's

5836
03:16:35,580 --> 03:16:38,080
a bunch of little glass beads that have

5837
03:16:38,080 --> 03:16:40,900
to be dispersed within the paint structure.

5838
03:16:41,400 --> 03:16:42,600
So you got to shake it a lot

5839
03:16:42,600 --> 03:16:43,480
before you use it.

5840
03:16:43,760 --> 03:16:45,000
Shake before use, everybody.

5841
03:16:45,460 --> 03:16:46,720
Find all of them at the tip of

5842
03:16:46,720 --> 03:16:48,340
the day, not at John's tip of the

5843
03:16:48,340 --> 03:16:48,720
day.

5844
03:16:55,520 --> 03:17:02,460
Well, everybody, if that doesn't get your week

5845
03:17:02,460 --> 03:17:05,060
started off just dandy, I don't know what

5846
03:17:05,060 --> 03:17:05,660
does.

5847
03:17:05,840 --> 03:17:06,340
That's perfect.

5848
03:17:06,340 --> 03:17:07,260
It's the end of the week.

5849
03:17:07,520 --> 03:17:09,600
Well, it's starting for people that, you know,

5850
03:17:09,640 --> 03:17:10,960
now we're ready to go.

5851
03:17:11,060 --> 03:17:12,440
We're getting ready for tomorrow, man.

5852
03:17:13,300 --> 03:17:14,320
That's what you do.

5853
03:17:15,380 --> 03:17:18,020
Meanwhile, if you're listening there in the troll

5854
03:17:18,020 --> 03:17:20,040
room on your modern podcast apps, you can

5855
03:17:20,040 --> 03:17:21,080
just keep on listening.

5856
03:17:21,240 --> 03:17:22,880
DH unplugged is coming up next.

5857
03:17:23,220 --> 03:17:25,460
I have not heard this one because I

5858
03:17:25,460 --> 03:17:26,940
think I turn it off when you start

5859
03:17:26,940 --> 03:17:28,940
moaning about Bitcoin was supposed to be a

5860
03:17:28,940 --> 03:17:29,180
hedge.

5861
03:17:29,280 --> 03:17:29,960
How does that work?

5862
03:17:30,020 --> 03:17:31,560
I'm like, okay, all right, boomer.

5863
03:17:31,620 --> 03:17:32,120
I'm turning it off.

5864
03:17:32,240 --> 03:17:33,240
Well, I'm still wondering.

5865
03:17:34,380 --> 03:17:35,160
You're wondering.

5866
03:17:35,680 --> 03:17:36,500
Yes, you're wondering.

5867
03:17:36,660 --> 03:17:37,340
That's for sure.

5868
03:17:38,460 --> 03:17:40,280
So that's coming up next on no agenda

5869
03:17:40,280 --> 03:17:40,680
stream.

5870
03:17:40,800 --> 03:17:42,380
We have end of show mixes from sound

5871
03:17:42,380 --> 03:17:45,180
guy, Steve and certain Ned would all about

5872
03:17:45,180 --> 03:17:46,000
the Putin meeting.

5873
03:17:46,560 --> 03:17:48,700
And as always, we will return on our

5874
03:17:48,700 --> 03:17:50,360
next show day, which will be Thursday.

5875
03:17:50,520 --> 03:17:53,200
We look forward to seeing you then coming

5876
03:17:53,200 --> 03:17:54,680
to you from the heart of the Texas

5877
03:17:54,680 --> 03:17:57,440
Hill country, right here in Fredericksburg, Texas.

5878
03:17:57,440 --> 03:17:59,860
It's so picturesque in the morning, everybody.

5879
03:18:00,000 --> 03:18:02,580
I'm Adam Curry from Northern Silicon Valley, where

5880
03:18:02,580 --> 03:18:04,940
I remain and the weather remains crappy.

5881
03:18:05,020 --> 03:18:05,580
I'm John C.

5882
03:18:05,620 --> 03:18:06,060
Dvorak.

5883
03:18:06,160 --> 03:18:09,120
Remember us again at no agenda donations.com

5884
03:18:09,120 --> 03:18:11,300
and we'll see y'all here on Thursday.

5885
03:18:11,300 --> 03:18:16,260
Until then, adios, mofos, hui hui, and such

5886
03:18:16,260 --> 03:18:17,460
all aboard.

5887
03:18:20,900 --> 03:18:22,800
Tonight, Vladimir Putin.

5888
03:18:23,180 --> 03:18:23,960
Vladimir Putin.

5889
03:18:24,140 --> 03:18:24,820
Vladimir Putin.

5890
03:18:24,920 --> 03:18:25,380
Vladimir Putin.

5891
03:18:26,240 --> 03:18:26,900
Putin.

5892
03:18:27,660 --> 03:18:27,760
Putin.

5893
03:18:27,760 --> 03:18:27,860
Putin.

5894
03:18:27,860 --> 03:18:28,080
Putin.

5895
03:18:28,320 --> 03:18:28,420
Putin.

5896
03:18:28,420 --> 03:18:28,520
Putin.

5897
03:18:29,200 --> 03:18:29,300
Putin.

5898
03:19:05,100 --> 03:19:05,200
Putin.

5899
03:19:05,200 --> 03:19:05,300
Putin.

5900
03:19:05,300 --> 03:19:05,400
Putin.

5901
03:19:05,400 --> 03:19:05,500
Putin.

5902
03:19:05,500 --> 03:19:05,600
Putin.

5903
03:19:05,600 --> 03:19:05,700
Putin.

5904
03:19:05,700 --> 03:19:05,800
Putin.

5905
03:19:05,800 --> 03:19:05,900
Putin.

5906
03:19:05,900 --> 03:19:06,000
Putin.

5907
03:19:06,000 --> 03:19:06,100
Putin.

5908
03:19:06,100 --> 03:19:06,200
Putin.

5909
03:19:06,200 --> 03:19:06,300
Putin.

5910
03:19:06,300 --> 03:19:06,400

5911
03:19:06,400 --> 03:19:06,500

5917

5918
03:19:07,100 --> 03:19:07,200

5919
03:19:07,200 --> 03:19:07,300

5926

5927
03:19:08,000 --> 03:19:08,100
Putin.

5928
03:19:10,620 --> 03:19:12,640

5935
03:19:35,520 --> 03:19:35,620
Putin.

5936
03:19:35,620 --> 03:19:35,720

5937
03:19:35,720 --> 03:19:35,820
