1
00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:02,170
I am free, I am unshackled.

2
00:00:02,610 --> 00:00:04,130
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,250 --> 00:00:04,630
Dvorak.

4
00:00:04,670 --> 00:00:07,590
It's Sunday, February 22nd, 2026, this is your

5
00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:11,030
award-winning Kibble Nation Media Assassination Episode 1845.

6
00:00:11,390 --> 00:00:12,910
This is no agenda.

7
00:00:13,890 --> 00:00:17,350
We've got shots fired and broadcasting live from

8
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:19,050
the heart of the Texan Hill Country here

9
00:00:19,050 --> 00:00:20,370
in FEMA Region Number 6.

10
00:00:20,770 --> 00:00:22,910
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

11
00:00:23,650 --> 00:00:26,090
And from northern Silicon Valley where we discovered

12
00:00:26,090 --> 00:00:28,370
the aliens are already here, I'm John C.

13
00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:28,770
Dvorak.

14
00:00:31,259 --> 00:00:32,420
In the morning.

15
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:34,660
Yeah, exactly.

16
00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:37,740
I don't want to say anything, but we

17
00:00:37,740 --> 00:00:40,080
do a second half of show, all of

18
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,300
a sudden, the alien files are being released.

19
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,960
I don't want to take credit, but I

20
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:45,420
think...

21
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:45,580
Coincidence?

22
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,060
I think not.

23
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,780
President Trump says he'll be directing the Pentagon

24
00:00:49,780 --> 00:00:53,260
and other government agencies to identify and release

25
00:00:53,260 --> 00:00:56,680
files related to extraterrestrials and UFOs.

26
00:00:57,060 --> 00:00:59,520
Trump made the announcement on social media last

27
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,520
night, hours after he accused former President Barack

28
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,880
Obama of disclosing classified information during a podcast

29
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:06,540
interview.

30
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,260
Obama later clarified that he had not seen

31
00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:11,780
evidence of alien contact, but that the odds

32
00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:13,940
are good that life is out there because

33
00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:15,220
the universe is vast.

34
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:15,900
All right.

35
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:17,120
I'm going to predict something.

36
00:01:17,380 --> 00:01:18,220
We're going to see...

37
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,280
Absolutely nothing.

38
00:01:21,340 --> 00:01:22,500
We're going to see nothing.

39
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,980
Absolutely nothing, as usual.

40
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,220
Absolutely nothing.

41
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:29,600
It's good to be back.

42
00:01:30,860 --> 00:01:32,420
Of course, did you hear the...

43
00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:34,600
Wow, you sound really bassy today.

44
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,320
What are you doing?

45
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,580
I sound bassy now.

46
00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:37,060
Yeah, you sound like...

47
00:01:37,060 --> 00:01:39,960
I have no controls over the bass, or

48
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,400
the horizontal, or the vertical.

49
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:42,900
Well, I don't know.

50
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,000
You have your regular mic?

51
00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:47,000
Yeah, nothing's changed.

52
00:01:47,620 --> 00:01:48,420
Maybe it's just...

53
00:01:49,980 --> 00:01:52,200
Maybe like a fine wine, you're...

54
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,800
I mean, I'm kidding.

55
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:54,340
Bassy.

56
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,400
Bassier with age.

57
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,660
Did you hear that Hillary...

58
00:01:57,660 --> 00:01:58,860
To get the show off to the right

59
00:01:58,860 --> 00:02:01,020
start, did you hear the Hillary interview at

60
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:01,460
the BBC?

61
00:02:02,380 --> 00:02:04,220
No, Hillary on the BBC?

62
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,420
What is she doing on the BBC?

63
00:02:06,580 --> 00:02:07,479
Well, she's...

64
00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:09,000
Well, you tell me.

65
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,640
You keep saying that you didn't know Jeffrey

66
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,940
Epstein, but your husband flew with him 26

67
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:17,920
times to party butt-naked in the island

68
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:18,760
with some girls.

69
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:22,340
And most people say that you killed Jeffrey

70
00:02:22,340 --> 00:02:24,860
Epstein to silence him, just like the other

71
00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:27,620
hundreds of mysterious deaths surrounding you and your

72
00:02:27,620 --> 00:02:27,940
husband.

73
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,280
So, are you sure you didn't know Jeffrey

74
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:32,620
Epstein?

75
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,940
Okay, look, just because I killed the guy

76
00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:37,400
doesn't mean I knew the guy.

77
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:37,860
Oh, okay.

78
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:38,400
Okay?

79
00:02:38,660 --> 00:02:41,140
And can you please stop asking me questions

80
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:42,540
about Jeffrey Epstein?

81
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:45,080
A lot of reporters can go missing, you

82
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:45,240
know?

83
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,280
Accidents do happen.

84
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,480
People shoot themselves in the back three times,

85
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:50,320
if you know what I mean.

86
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Anyway, let's talk about something else.

87
00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:56,560
Wow, throwing out the AI clip of the

88
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,560
day right away, huh?

89
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:58,400
All right.

90
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:00,260
I actually do...

91
00:03:00,260 --> 00:03:00,780
I have some...

92
00:03:01,460 --> 00:03:04,280
I have a report from Channel 4 in

93
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,160
the UK, which is not AI, but does...

94
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,120
I think was kind of relevant to hear.

95
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,660
A Channel 4 news investigation today reveals that

96
00:03:13,660 --> 00:03:17,920
all those pictures, emails, videos, and messages released

97
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,500
by the Department of Justice, said to be

98
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:24,520
over three million pages, may amount to just

99
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,100
a fraction of the Epstein material obtained by

100
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:28,900
investigators.

101
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:30,920
Why do we think that?

102
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,140
Because these raids on Epstein's properties, his Florida

103
00:03:35,140 --> 00:03:38,740
mansion in 2005, and his fancy New York

104
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:43,460
townhouse and sprawling luxury island in 2019, saw

105
00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:47,260
dozens of devices, computers, hard drives, and servers

106
00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:50,820
bagged and tagged and brought to FBI offices

107
00:03:50,820 --> 00:03:51,900
for examination.

108
00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:55,320
Now, emails examined by Channel 4 news show

109
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,600
investigators discussing those very devices.

110
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,640
From the earliest stages, investigators were talking about

111
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,580
Epstein's data, totaling many, many times what has

112
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:07,780
so far been released.

113
00:04:08,260 --> 00:04:11,560
In June 2020, one wrote, we expect the

114
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,120
data to be somewhere around 20 to 40

115
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,380
terabytes, noting that the total capacity of the

116
00:04:17,380 --> 00:04:20,100
devices was up to 50 terabytes.

117
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,740
Then as recently as last year, long after

118
00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:26,400
the investigations into Epstein, and his associates had

119
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,800
ended, the figures quoted remained massive.

120
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:32,680
We're looking at a total of approximately 14

121
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,980
.6 terabytes of archived data, said another email.

122
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,220
Yeah, where is this archived data?

123
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,780
Where's this 14.6 terabytes of data?

124
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,100
So I went through the first 3,000

125
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:48,820
photos.

126
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,220
Wow.

127
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:53,640
And- See, I leave the show for

128
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,500
a week and I cannot trust you.

129
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,580
Right away, you're going to the photos.

130
00:04:58,900 --> 00:04:59,160
Okay.

131
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,160
So what did you find?

132
00:05:00,340 --> 00:05:02,180
So I've come to a conclusion that was

133
00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:03,240
a little different.

134
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,560
And I think all this is, I think

135
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,480
Trump is probably right.

136
00:05:05,540 --> 00:05:07,000
This is a mountain out of a molehill.

137
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,920
When you look at all the photos and

138
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,580
you see the layouts of his private, what

139
00:05:12,580 --> 00:05:14,920
I consider, I'll tell you what my thesis

140
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,440
is.

141
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:18,000
He was running a private hotel.

142
00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:18,780
Yeah.

143
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:21,560
That was a brothel, that was a whorehouse

144
00:05:22,820 --> 00:05:27,600
for high end customers that are billionaires, probably

145
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,860
almost exclusively, but I'm sure there's a few

146
00:05:29,860 --> 00:05:33,060
hundred millionaires in there who can't in the

147
00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:35,040
real world get laid.

148
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,800
Somebody like Reid Hoffman, who's worth, I think,

149
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,420
2.5 billion.

150
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,540
Now, how did he get his money, Reid

151
00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:43,940
Hoffman?

152
00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:45,540
LinkedIn.

153
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:47,180
Oh, he sold LinkedIn to Microsoft.

154
00:05:47,540 --> 00:05:47,720
Microsoft.

155
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:48,620
Right, right, right.

156
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,460
He got his money from Microsoft.

157
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,860
Yeah, it's all in the family bill.

158
00:05:54,340 --> 00:05:56,960
And a billion dollars, if you have a

159
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,740
billion dollars, that brings in $50 million a

160
00:05:59,740 --> 00:06:04,280
year at 5%, which is a lot of

161
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,200
money, but you can't trust women because they're

162
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,320
going to take it for your money.

163
00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:10,400
You can't trust a hooker.

164
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:12,480
All women, you never trust a hooker.

165
00:06:12,820 --> 00:06:13,820
Nope, nope, nope.

166
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,780
Well, you could trust a hooker, but not

167
00:06:15,780 --> 00:06:17,100
if you're worth a billion dollars.

168
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:21,560
It's just a problem.

169
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,500
And so, Epstein has set up shop, and

170
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:25,780
if you look at the floor plans, you

171
00:06:25,780 --> 00:06:26,980
can see he has all kinds of rooms,

172
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:27,880
different suites.

173
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,380
There's about 30 rooms in his...

174
00:06:30,380 --> 00:06:32,860
Well, I was listening to Wexner, some of

175
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:35,620
his testimony, and he was saying, yeah, the

176
00:06:35,620 --> 00:06:37,160
place was a crap hole.

177
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:37,900
It was no good.

178
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:39,020
It was like a...

179
00:06:39,020 --> 00:06:40,020
They were fixing it up.

180
00:06:40,060 --> 00:06:41,900
It was still being fixed up as they

181
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:42,400
were taking...

182
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,260
And the worst was they had the pictures

183
00:06:44,260 --> 00:06:46,260
that when they go to St. John's Island,

184
00:06:46,260 --> 00:06:48,360
that place was incomplete.

185
00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:52,460
There were still unfinished rooms they were still

186
00:06:52,460 --> 00:06:53,340
working on.

187
00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:56,620
There was cabanas, but it's designed for these

188
00:06:56,620 --> 00:06:57,740
high-end guys.

189
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,600
Now, but let me ask you a question.

190
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:03,060
Do you think that as a brothel, that

191
00:07:03,060 --> 00:07:06,720
it was used to, pardon the pun, curry

192
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,340
favor, or do you think that there still

193
00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:10,860
was some blackmail at play?

194
00:07:11,020 --> 00:07:11,260
Nope.

195
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:12,300
What's the point?

196
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,400
That's what I was thinking about.

197
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,540
What's the point of blackmailing somebody?

198
00:07:15,540 --> 00:07:18,280
Let's say the fee is a million bucks

199
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,720
to you join this little...

200
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,840
You make an investment and want to...

201
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,080
Or you give Jeffrey some consulting money.

202
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:29,900
That's the fee to go to this place.

203
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:31,700
And you go to the place and they

204
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:32,020
have...

205
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:34,420
They said they had a catalog with different

206
00:07:34,420 --> 00:07:34,740
girls.

207
00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:36,180
You pick one or two out and they're

208
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:37,000
your companions.

209
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,320
And they, you know...

210
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:39,620
Wait a minute.

211
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,420
Where did you hear about this catalog?

212
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,860
The catalog came out about a couple of

213
00:07:43,860 --> 00:07:44,200
weeks ago.

214
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:45,060
They talked about a...

215
00:07:45,060 --> 00:07:46,200
It was like pick and choose?

216
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,280
Like point and click?

217
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:47,820
Yeah, yeah.

218
00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:48,640
Like a pick and choose.

219
00:07:48,780 --> 00:07:49,380
That was...

220
00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:50,400
It was glossed over.

221
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,440
But it was like a pick and choose

222
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:52,660
thing.

223
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,780
So you go to the place and he

224
00:07:54,780 --> 00:07:57,640
also had comedians staying there because you comp

225
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,500
rooms to guys.

226
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,080
They're not going to get any action, but

227
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,260
you give them a room and they hang

228
00:08:01,260 --> 00:08:01,360
out.

229
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,780
You want a fun guy to talk with

230
00:08:02,780 --> 00:08:03,240
at the bar?

231
00:08:04,980 --> 00:08:06,440
Yeah, if you're going to go to the

232
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:06,660
bar.

233
00:08:06,980 --> 00:08:09,180
And some of these places had kitchenettes.

234
00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:11,480
And meanwhile, if you look at all the

235
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,560
pictures, you see they had a big laundry

236
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,380
room, just like a hotel does.

237
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:17,120
They had a big central kitchen, just like

238
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,700
a hotel does for room service.

239
00:08:19,940 --> 00:08:20,040
Hold on.

240
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:20,740
The Slutalog.

241
00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:21,600
I like that.

242
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:22,460
I'm writing that down.

243
00:08:22,620 --> 00:08:23,060
Slutalog.

244
00:08:23,460 --> 00:08:24,200
It's not a catalog.

245
00:08:24,420 --> 00:08:25,000
It's a Slutalog.

246
00:08:25,260 --> 00:08:25,460
Yes.

247
00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:26,860
Okay.

248
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:27,540
It was just...

249
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:29,500
It looked just like a private hotel.

250
00:08:30,140 --> 00:08:32,380
And you don't blackmail people for that because

251
00:08:32,380 --> 00:08:34,679
you're already getting a million bucks, let's say,

252
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,860
a year for them to be a member

253
00:08:36,860 --> 00:08:38,020
of this place.

254
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,940
And what are you going to blackmail them

255
00:08:39,940 --> 00:08:40,040
for?

256
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,840
What are you going to blackmail Reed Hoffman

257
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:42,240
for?

258
00:08:42,620 --> 00:08:43,420
Curry Favors?

259
00:08:43,420 --> 00:08:44,360
What is he?

260
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,080
He just floats around podcasts.

261
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,300
He doesn't do anything.

262
00:08:48,420 --> 00:08:49,580
I mean, there's no reason.

263
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:51,460
And he's over at the place all the

264
00:08:51,460 --> 00:08:54,400
time because if you're kind of a fat

265
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,720
billionaire with not much of a personality, this

266
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:57,320
is perfect.

267
00:08:57,980 --> 00:08:59,560
And that's all it was.

268
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:01,640
And the CIA, if they were keeping tabs

269
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,720
on anybody, it was just so they keep

270
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,140
notes.

271
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:06,660
And all this surveillance, which we have no

272
00:09:06,660 --> 00:09:07,040
evidence.

273
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,340
They're not showing us anything.

274
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,580
The surveillance was for surveilling the girls.

275
00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:14,540
They didn't want the girls doing deals on

276
00:09:14,540 --> 00:09:15,200
the side.

277
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,080
They didn't want the girls stealing from the

278
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:17,480
guys.

279
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:18,700
Oh, I like that theory.

280
00:09:18,860 --> 00:09:19,260
All right.

281
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:21,840
Well, that's what you would do in a

282
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,920
high-end place like this.

283
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,460
Girls catering to billionaires and you can't take

284
00:09:27,460 --> 00:09:28,040
a chance.

285
00:09:28,180 --> 00:09:29,700
And then on the side, you can say,

286
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:33,700
hey, I got some inside info from my

287
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:34,960
boy over there, Mandelson.

288
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,960
And you can make a killing right now

289
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,720
on the foreign exchange because they're about to

290
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,460
bail out the euro.

291
00:09:41,620 --> 00:09:43,940
So you could pick up some tips along

292
00:09:43,940 --> 00:09:44,380
the way.

293
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:46,660
He probably did pick up some tips along

294
00:09:46,660 --> 00:09:48,440
the way, but that wasn't the main business.

295
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,980
I figured he could do $50 million a

296
00:09:50,980 --> 00:09:52,460
year just maintaining that place.

297
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,780
And that's all it was.

298
00:09:56,060 --> 00:09:58,080
And the fact that they're making it such

299
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,760
a fuss, now that I think about it,

300
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,280
what Trump has to say about it, because

301
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,320
he knew what was going on, because he's

302
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,900
in New York real estate.

303
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:07,080
Everybody knew what was going on.

304
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,840
So you're telling me that there were no

305
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,800
children that were being eaten and no pizza

306
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,580
with grape soda.

307
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:15,780
That's what I'm telling you.

308
00:10:15,860 --> 00:10:18,300
Yeah, and you should also note that 17

309
00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:20,660
years old is the age of consent in

310
00:10:20,660 --> 00:10:22,880
New York City or in New York state.

311
00:10:23,020 --> 00:10:23,440
Oh, really?

312
00:10:23,660 --> 00:10:24,640
Oh, that's an outrage.

313
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,520
Oh, outrage.

314
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,860
And so they said, okay, so they had

315
00:10:28,860 --> 00:10:30,140
some 17-year-olds in there.

316
00:10:30,220 --> 00:10:31,840
Now the rest of it was all speculation

317
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,960
about the younger.

318
00:10:34,780 --> 00:10:37,260
I mean, I'm sure some people tried to

319
00:10:37,260 --> 00:10:39,020
horn in, but no, this was a professionally,

320
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:42,760
this was a kind of a genius marketing

321
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,420
just going for a high-class clientele.

322
00:10:46,060 --> 00:10:48,680
There's 200 billionaires in California alone.

323
00:10:49,820 --> 00:10:51,460
Yeah, it's a pain in the butt though

324
00:10:51,460 --> 00:10:53,340
to have to travel to the East Coast

325
00:10:53,340 --> 00:10:54,060
and go to that island.

326
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:56,400
Well, I'm just saying California, the funny, a

327
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,460
lot of them are back East.

328
00:10:57,580 --> 00:10:58,900
They have places in New York.

329
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,340
I mean, and they can travel in their

330
00:11:01,340 --> 00:11:03,220
private jets, you know, if they're going to

331
00:11:03,220 --> 00:11:04,280
have a good time.

332
00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:06,260
You know, what's really interesting is that because

333
00:11:06,260 --> 00:11:11,780
of this Epstein stuff, everything, everything that people,

334
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,820
certainly people who are online and, you know,

335
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,440
posting and reading and, you know, wrapped up

336
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:18,780
in it.

337
00:11:19,060 --> 00:11:21,580
Everything is through the lens of Epstein, like

338
00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:24,280
Supreme Court decision over tariffs.

339
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:27,340
Oh, someone's got some compromise on, you know,

340
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,240
Epstein stuff.

341
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,380
It's like everything, everything is amazing.

342
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,340
That's the lens that people just see the

343
00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:37,720
stuff through right now, except for New Mexico

344
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,380
representative on Andrea Romero, who is putting together

345
00:11:42,380 --> 00:11:45,200
a truth commission about Zorro Ranch.

346
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,940
New Mexico's State House of Representatives is now

347
00:11:47,940 --> 00:11:51,220
creating a bipartisan committee to investigate the property

348
00:11:51,220 --> 00:11:53,340
that Jeffrey Epstein once owned in the state

349
00:11:53,340 --> 00:11:54,920
known as Zorro Ranch.

350
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,620
They're investigating it for allegations of criminal activity.

351
00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:59,780
The committee plans to partner with the New

352
00:11:59,780 --> 00:12:02,100
Mexico Department of Justice for this deep dive

353
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:05,080
into allegations of abuse and sexual assault, possibly

354
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,020
committed at Zorro Ranch.

355
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,640
And joining us now to discuss is Democratic

356
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,140
State Representative Andrea Romero, one of the bill's

357
00:12:12,140 --> 00:12:12,760
sponsors.

358
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:14,500
Representative, thanks for joining us.

359
00:12:14,540 --> 00:12:16,480
So no one opposed this measure.

360
00:12:16,580 --> 00:12:19,000
So the committee, the truth commission will be

361
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:19,460
created.

362
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:20,760
How does it feel to have this over

363
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:21,440
the finish line?

364
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,720
Well, it feels like we're just beginning really,

365
00:12:25,940 --> 00:12:26,160
truly.

366
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,400
You know, we have been thinking about this

367
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,500
for a while, trying to find the mechanisms

368
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:33,160
in place to make sure that we can

369
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,100
be apolitical and ready to do business.

370
00:12:36,660 --> 00:12:39,180
The reality for this commission is something that

371
00:12:39,180 --> 00:12:41,940
our community desperately needs and needs to know

372
00:12:41,940 --> 00:12:42,240
about.

373
00:12:43,020 --> 00:12:44,580
You know, this is information that we're all

374
00:12:44,580 --> 00:12:48,220
trying to put together nationwide and worldwide about

375
00:12:48,220 --> 00:12:50,480
what went on and how it went on.

376
00:12:50,540 --> 00:12:52,440
And for us in New Mexico, it is

377
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,440
so critical that we get this story straight.

378
00:12:54,660 --> 00:12:56,960
And this is really interesting because there's not

379
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,500
a lot known about Zorro Ranch other than

380
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:01,080
- You're probably still setting it up.

381
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,300
This was your, this by the way-

382
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:04,700
Hold on.

383
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,080
Wait, I'm just going to say, this is

384
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,880
the West Coast version.

385
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,900
So these guys, like you just said, have

386
00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:12,400
to fly all the way to New York.

387
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,560
No, they're going to fly to New Mexico.

388
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,380
Let me read this.

389
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,360
The age of consent in New Mexico is

390
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,020
16.

391
00:13:18,940 --> 00:13:21,100
Oh man, you've got, do you have a

392
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:21,720
cheat sheet?

393
00:13:23,060 --> 00:13:24,440
What's the age of- I'm telling you,

394
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,280
this whole thing was just a massive-

395
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,400
No, I'm not arguing against that.

396
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,680
No, well, you could argue a little bit.

397
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:33,940
No, I don't feel like arguing at all.

398
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,440
No, I think I'm kind of on board

399
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:36,720
with it.

400
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:37,920
You know, the thing is that people are

401
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,520
like, hey, you know, traffic children, America is

402
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:40,960
the worst.

403
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,060
You know, while this has been going on,

404
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:48,200
probably 1,200 to 1,300 actual sick

405
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,380
pedophiles have been arrested.

406
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,820
No one talks about it.

407
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
There's all kinds of operations going on.

408
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,800
Children have, actual children under the age of

409
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,660
16 have been freed from sex predator rings

410
00:14:01,660 --> 00:14:04,580
that involve local sheriffs and lawyers and dentists.

411
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,240
That gets, I don't know why I said

412
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,400
dentist, but there was a dentist.

413
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,960
That gets zero coverage.

414
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,460
It's the most bizarre thing.

415
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,640
And this is not bizarre because it doesn't

416
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:14,520
involve Trump.

417
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:15,880
There you go.

418
00:14:17,260 --> 00:14:21,540
This whole Zorro Ranch, this truth commission appears

419
00:14:21,540 --> 00:14:24,900
to be based upon an email sent to

420
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:27,720
a local DJ about eight years ago.

421
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,740
There's an email in the Epstein files released

422
00:14:30,740 --> 00:14:32,860
by the Department of Justice that mentions Zorro

423
00:14:32,860 --> 00:14:33,240
Ranch.

424
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,360
It's an unverified claim that two women are

425
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,740
buried there, two women who died by strangulation.

426
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,560
The sender of this email has been redacted

427
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,440
by the DOJ.

428
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,020
It was sent to a local radio host

429
00:14:46,020 --> 00:14:47,400
who told CNN he believes it came from

430
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,100
someone who worked on the ranch.

431
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,300
He passed the email onto the FBI when

432
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:52,500
it was sent in 2019.

433
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,820
Does your committee intend to push the Justice

434
00:14:55,820 --> 00:14:58,660
Department for more answers regarding that email?

435
00:15:00,550 --> 00:15:01,790
Yes, we do.

436
00:15:02,030 --> 00:15:05,090
And we will go to the fullest extent

437
00:15:05,090 --> 00:15:06,950
of the law to get those answers.

438
00:15:07,770 --> 00:15:10,410
The reality that we understand is that that

439
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:14,150
email was sent and our then Attorney General

440
00:15:14,150 --> 00:15:18,270
requested that the federal government investigate these claims,

441
00:15:18,770 --> 00:15:21,390
that there was a request to do that

442
00:15:21,390 --> 00:15:22,290
back in 2019.

443
00:15:22,950 --> 00:15:26,470
But unfortunately, those requests went unanswered by the

444
00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:27,130
federal government.

445
00:15:27,730 --> 00:15:29,910
You know, we feel very challenged that we

446
00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:31,690
have to be forced to do this ourselves

447
00:15:31,690 --> 00:15:35,110
in New Mexico when those requests went unanswered.

448
00:15:35,170 --> 00:15:37,710
Then here we are seven years later trying

449
00:15:37,710 --> 00:15:38,470
to pick up the pieces.

450
00:15:38,730 --> 00:15:41,450
Now you catch the bit there, 2018 during

451
00:15:41,450 --> 00:15:41,890
Trump.

452
00:15:42,010 --> 00:15:44,130
So Trump had that hidden.

453
00:15:45,030 --> 00:15:46,250
That's the implication there.

454
00:15:46,910 --> 00:15:47,210
Yep.

455
00:15:48,250 --> 00:15:51,430
Now, of course, Epstein was into all kinds

456
00:15:51,430 --> 00:15:54,210
of bio stuff.

457
00:15:54,350 --> 00:15:55,950
And he was, you know, this is, that's

458
00:15:55,950 --> 00:15:58,190
why he was hanging out with Weinstein and

459
00:15:58,190 --> 00:15:59,090
all these people.

460
00:15:59,670 --> 00:16:01,570
He was always trolling for the next big

461
00:16:01,570 --> 00:16:01,950
thing.

462
00:16:02,070 --> 00:16:03,030
What can we invest in?

463
00:16:03,090 --> 00:16:04,450
Get a great IPO out of it.

464
00:16:04,950 --> 00:16:07,470
And then there's the DNA replication scheme.

465
00:16:07,650 --> 00:16:09,030
There was an unusual report in the New

466
00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:11,530
York Times in 2019 that mentions Zora Ranch.

467
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:13,950
Jeffrey Epstein at one point, quote, hoped to

468
00:16:13,950 --> 00:16:16,750
seed the human race with his DNA by

469
00:16:16,750 --> 00:16:19,170
impregnating women at his vast New Mexico ranch.

470
00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:21,470
That's what Elon Musk does for real.

471
00:16:21,850 --> 00:16:23,390
The New York Times report says there's no

472
00:16:23,390 --> 00:16:24,990
evidence this plan ever came to any sort

473
00:16:24,990 --> 00:16:25,410
of fruition.

474
00:16:25,630 --> 00:16:29,230
But is this some sort of scientific scheme

475
00:16:29,230 --> 00:16:32,830
of Epstein's that you plan to investigate as

476
00:16:32,830 --> 00:16:33,050
well?

477
00:16:34,750 --> 00:16:35,190
Absolutely.

478
00:16:35,830 --> 00:16:39,410
These allegations are horrifying about- What's so

479
00:16:39,410 --> 00:16:40,330
horrifying about it?

480
00:16:40,630 --> 00:16:41,150
Horrifying.

481
00:16:41,470 --> 00:16:41,830
Horrifying.

482
00:16:41,970 --> 00:16:42,650
What went on.

483
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:45,230
We have heard from victims that they may

484
00:16:45,230 --> 00:16:47,470
have woken up in very strange places.

485
00:16:48,990 --> 00:16:50,990
Where are these victims?

486
00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:52,170
He's dead.

487
00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:53,490
So why can't they speak out?

488
00:16:53,630 --> 00:16:58,330
I find this- A really difficult process

489
00:16:58,330 --> 00:16:59,590
to understand.

490
00:17:00,490 --> 00:17:02,670
And that's so critically why we need to

491
00:17:02,670 --> 00:17:03,770
know what the truth was.

492
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:05,190
Who were the folks in the room?

493
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:06,190
Who knew what happened?

494
00:17:06,589 --> 00:17:08,250
And why were these never investigated?

495
00:17:08,890 --> 00:17:10,869
Especially if victims came forward.

496
00:17:11,089 --> 00:17:11,450
There it is.

497
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:12,849
Why wasn't it investigated?

498
00:17:13,150 --> 00:17:14,190
All during Trump.

499
00:17:14,490 --> 00:17:16,990
This is what's so critical about the public

500
00:17:16,990 --> 00:17:18,589
understanding how this happened.

501
00:17:18,790 --> 00:17:20,930
And certainly if folks came forward on a

502
00:17:20,930 --> 00:17:22,869
crime, why was this never investigated?

503
00:17:23,630 --> 00:17:26,089
So yes, we are looking to these various

504
00:17:26,089 --> 00:17:26,589
records.

505
00:17:27,089 --> 00:17:30,150
And again, every single day learn something horrifying

506
00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:32,590
about what went on or allegedly went on.

507
00:17:32,650 --> 00:17:35,130
Except she has nothing horrifying to tell.

508
00:17:35,330 --> 00:17:36,530
Wait, wait, there's more.

509
00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:38,310
Are there other claims about Zora Ranch and

510
00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:39,850
the Epstein files that you intend to look

511
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:40,350
into further?

512
00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:41,950
Yes, absolutely.

513
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:45,230
I mean, the claims are absolutely sprawling and

514
00:17:45,230 --> 00:17:46,790
certainly very concerning.

515
00:17:47,310 --> 00:17:50,950
We have allegations of everything from sex abuse

516
00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:54,870
and trafficking to harming children of very young

517
00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:55,250
ages.

518
00:17:56,350 --> 00:17:58,250
It's horrifying what we're learning.

519
00:17:58,470 --> 00:18:00,050
It seems every single day.

520
00:18:00,510 --> 00:18:02,450
But we're committed to telling the truth and

521
00:18:02,450 --> 00:18:04,050
making sure that there is a record.

522
00:18:04,210 --> 00:18:06,430
And if needed, it would be pursued in

523
00:18:06,430 --> 00:18:07,030
the court of law.

524
00:18:07,250 --> 00:18:08,510
Well, it wasn't investigated for a lot of

525
00:18:08,510 --> 00:18:08,790
reasons.

526
00:18:08,910 --> 00:18:10,390
But one of them is that the alleged

527
00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:14,010
perpetrators are very, very powerful, wealthy people.

528
00:18:14,230 --> 00:18:15,250
Are you ready for that?

529
00:18:15,250 --> 00:18:18,730
You know, this is unfortunately, well, fortunately, why

530
00:18:18,730 --> 00:18:20,930
we are a bipartisan commission.

531
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:24,210
You know, we're not here to play politics

532
00:18:24,210 --> 00:18:24,950
about anything.

533
00:18:25,050 --> 00:18:27,710
We're really here to go on a fact

534
00:18:27,710 --> 00:18:28,430
finding mission.

535
00:18:28,750 --> 00:18:29,630
Who was involved?

536
00:18:30,110 --> 00:18:32,190
And we understand even in our state that

537
00:18:32,190 --> 00:18:34,070
it was the highest echelons of people who

538
00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:36,550
are being named in these files.

539
00:18:36,810 --> 00:18:38,930
And so for us, it's about making sure

540
00:18:38,930 --> 00:18:40,690
that no stone is unturned.

541
00:18:40,770 --> 00:18:42,390
Whoever it is that we find that may

542
00:18:42,390 --> 00:18:45,210
have been a perpetrator in these crimes will

543
00:18:45,210 --> 00:18:45,830
be named.

544
00:18:46,010 --> 00:18:48,510
They will be named and we will recognize

545
00:18:48,510 --> 00:18:50,090
what went on here.

546
00:18:50,670 --> 00:18:54,570
And so, yes, the stretch is very wide

547
00:18:54,570 --> 00:18:56,070
and potentially very deep.

548
00:18:56,290 --> 00:18:58,350
But we will make sure that the public

549
00:18:58,350 --> 00:18:59,490
knows what happened.

550
00:19:00,430 --> 00:19:03,310
Well, so far we've got some fun names

551
00:19:03,310 --> 00:19:05,490
like Pritzker from the Hyatt.

552
00:19:05,910 --> 00:19:08,890
And of course, he must be related.

553
00:19:09,610 --> 00:19:11,110
Yeah, billionaire Pritzker.

554
00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:14,510
We got the douchebag Wasserman from LA.

555
00:19:15,310 --> 00:19:16,990
We've got Prince Andrew.

556
00:19:17,110 --> 00:19:19,390
Prince Andrew is the guy who's probably getting

557
00:19:19,390 --> 00:19:20,550
screwed in all of this.

558
00:19:21,910 --> 00:19:23,530
Yeah, there's a lot of people that think

559
00:19:23,530 --> 00:19:23,890
that.

560
00:19:24,910 --> 00:19:26,310
But of course, he brought it on himself.

561
00:19:26,490 --> 00:19:28,190
Well, yeah, he's also a dope.

562
00:19:28,790 --> 00:19:29,730
He's a den of douche.

563
00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:31,830
He's always been a dope and a douche.

564
00:19:31,950 --> 00:19:33,470
Yes, he always has been that.

565
00:19:33,550 --> 00:19:34,510
We all know that.

566
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,900
You know, if you see a picture of

567
00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:39,400
him when he's really young, you can see

568
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:39,740
why.

569
00:19:39,820 --> 00:19:41,420
He was actually a pretty good looking guy

570
00:19:41,420 --> 00:19:42,900
when he was young, when he married Fergie.

571
00:19:43,060 --> 00:19:44,340
If you see some of those early wedding

572
00:19:44,340 --> 00:19:47,260
pictures, he's one of those guys who relied

573
00:19:47,260 --> 00:19:48,040
on his looks.

574
00:19:48,380 --> 00:19:50,160
Well, Fergie also looked really good back in

575
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:50,480
the day.

576
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,340
Yeah, and she did the same thing.

577
00:19:52,460 --> 00:19:53,160
Yes, exactly.

578
00:19:53,660 --> 00:19:54,060
Exactly.

579
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,280
But yes, this is a couple of players

580
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:57,740
in this.

581
00:19:58,060 --> 00:20:00,760
Based on my thesis, you want to look

582
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,420
into Virginia Gouffre.

583
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,040
I would advise reading her wiki page.

584
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,220
She is a troubled person.

585
00:20:09,810 --> 00:20:11,660
The wiki page explains it quite well.

586
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,980
And I was very skeptical when she came

587
00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:14,280
out.

588
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,060
And by the way, the first interview she

589
00:20:16,060 --> 00:20:19,540
did, let's say she's a working girl or

590
00:20:19,540 --> 00:20:21,900
became one under Epstein.

591
00:20:22,740 --> 00:20:25,840
She charged $160,000 for that interview and

592
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:26,560
got it.

593
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,270
For the book or for...

594
00:20:30,820 --> 00:20:33,960
No, the first interview in 2011 when she

595
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,480
broke this thing wide open.

596
00:20:35,540 --> 00:20:37,640
This thing was going on for years, this

597
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:38,160
club.

598
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,240
And she broke it open in 2011 by

599
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:41,900
complaining.

600
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,400
And she didn't get a piece of the...

601
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,340
I see she wanted more money.

602
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,380
I don't know what the real basis was.

603
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:49,120
We never know.

604
00:20:50,060 --> 00:20:50,440
But...

605
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,860
Well, what I found to be odd is

606
00:20:54,860 --> 00:20:57,580
that she was hit by a bus and

607
00:20:57,580 --> 00:21:00,380
then she wasn't, and then she committed suicide.

608
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
You know, her whole death is...

609
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,280
Everything is sketchy.

610
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,120
Unquestionable.

611
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,400
I mean, I love that Jake Tapper, how

612
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,020
he puts it.

613
00:21:11,060 --> 00:21:13,920
He had another representative on.

614
00:21:14,020 --> 00:21:14,400
Listen to this.

615
00:21:14,540 --> 00:21:17,920
One of Epstein's most prominent victims, Virginia Giuffre,

616
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:19,320
who's no longer with us.

617
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:19,980
She allowed...

618
00:21:19,980 --> 00:21:21,640
What does this mean, no longer with us?

619
00:21:22,180 --> 00:21:23,400
It means she's not in the studio.

620
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:25,440
She's not available for interviews.

621
00:21:27,060 --> 00:21:29,000
Why didn't she just say she committed suicide?

622
00:21:30,060 --> 00:21:31,060
It's just a small thing.

623
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,680
Just a small irritation.

624
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:33,940
Who knows?

625
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:34,840
We don't know.

626
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,040
What do you have on Prince Andrew?

627
00:21:38,460 --> 00:21:41,000
Oh, this is a report that was...

628
00:21:41,940 --> 00:21:44,360
I think this is from BBC or NPR.

629
00:21:44,620 --> 00:21:45,860
No, I mean, what kind of dirt do

630
00:21:45,860 --> 00:21:46,360
you have on him?

631
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:47,100
Don't you have evidence?

632
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:48,600
I'm just kidding.

633
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:49,640
On Prince Andrew?

634
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:50,420
Just kidding.

635
00:21:50,820 --> 00:21:51,300
Just kidding.

636
00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:52,320
Oh, I see what you're doing.

637
00:21:52,380 --> 00:21:52,880
Just kidding.

638
00:21:53,820 --> 00:21:54,360
I'm sorry.

639
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,020
I'm sorry, slow on the uptake.

640
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,680
I got this big bassy voice now.

641
00:21:57,740 --> 00:21:58,000
Yes.

642
00:21:58,100 --> 00:21:59,620
Are you on a different network than you

643
00:21:59,620 --> 00:22:00,200
usually are?

644
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:01,000
No.

645
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:04,540
Oh, because it's also robocopying a little bit

646
00:22:04,540 --> 00:22:05,300
from time to time.

647
00:22:05,420 --> 00:22:06,920
Oh, I can change networks.

648
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,100
Well, why don't you do it while I

649
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:09,980
play the first clip?

650
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,020
You want me to change networks?

651
00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:13,940
Yeah, but you change networks while I play

652
00:22:13,940 --> 00:22:15,220
the clip that you want me to play.

653
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,100
Hold on a second.

654
00:22:19,180 --> 00:22:20,200
I got to make sure I can do

655
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:20,640
this.

656
00:22:21,780 --> 00:22:23,940
Because I haven't changed networks for so long

657
00:22:23,940 --> 00:22:24,940
that I don't want to like...

658
00:22:24,940 --> 00:22:26,140
We're doing it live, people.

659
00:22:27,620 --> 00:22:28,560
Doing it live.

660
00:22:29,020 --> 00:22:30,700
But you see, my whole point was...

661
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:31,140
I think I can do it.

662
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,240
I got to figure it out.

663
00:22:32,460 --> 00:22:32,780
Okay.

664
00:22:33,780 --> 00:22:34,900
Yeah, I got a bunch of stuff here

665
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:35,620
that's worth playing.

666
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,500
Since you don't want to hear any more

667
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:39,420
of the thesis.

668
00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:42,660
I thought this is part of the thesis.

669
00:22:42,860 --> 00:22:43,700
I got your thesis.

670
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:44,660
I hear your thesis.

671
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,380
No, I think the only thing I had

672
00:22:46,380 --> 00:22:49,000
in addition to the thesis...

673
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,520
I got the Prince Andrew clip.

674
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,140
Do whatever you want.

675
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,240
I was just going to say the last

676
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,960
thing in the thesis is Elon Musk.

677
00:22:56,260 --> 00:22:56,720
Oh, okay.

678
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,720
Who wanted to join the club.

679
00:22:58,920 --> 00:22:59,900
He knew about it.

680
00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:02,360
And they wouldn't...

681
00:23:02,980 --> 00:23:04,540
It's an exclusive club.

682
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:05,380
You had to...

683
00:23:05,380 --> 00:23:07,540
You took one look at Elon Musk who's

684
00:23:07,540 --> 00:23:09,380
already getting a bunch of sex from women.

685
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:11,660
He's paying $5 million to supposedly.

686
00:23:13,340 --> 00:23:14,820
So Epstein was a deal.

687
00:23:17,290 --> 00:23:18,090
He would have been.

688
00:23:18,210 --> 00:23:19,170
But he's also...

689
00:23:19,170 --> 00:23:20,230
You take a look at Elon.

690
00:23:20,430 --> 00:23:21,710
Elon's got a big mouth.

691
00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:24,210
You don't need some guy who's going to

692
00:23:24,210 --> 00:23:26,470
be yakking about it just on a casual

693
00:23:26,470 --> 00:23:27,870
podcast the next week.

694
00:23:27,970 --> 00:23:30,850
Yeah, I'm over at this actually a whorehouse.

695
00:23:31,530 --> 00:23:33,070
Who knows what would happen?

696
00:23:33,450 --> 00:23:34,690
They couldn't let him in.

697
00:23:34,790 --> 00:23:36,010
He rebuked him.

698
00:23:37,970 --> 00:23:39,150
Oh, I like it.

699
00:23:39,230 --> 00:23:39,650
All right.

700
00:23:40,010 --> 00:23:40,930
Okay, that's it.

701
00:23:40,990 --> 00:23:41,990
That's basically it.

702
00:23:41,990 --> 00:23:42,910
Let's go to Prince Andrew.

703
00:23:42,990 --> 00:23:45,250
This is Scott Simon on NPR.

704
00:23:45,490 --> 00:23:46,690
Suffer and Succotash.

705
00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:47,630
I'm Scott.

706
00:23:48,110 --> 00:23:48,850
Thank you.

707
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:52,640
Simon.

708
00:23:52,860 --> 00:23:56,140
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles, spent

709
00:23:56,140 --> 00:23:59,420
his 66th birthday in a police station this

710
00:23:59,420 --> 00:23:59,720
week.

711
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:02,720
He was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in

712
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,760
public office after revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein

713
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,980
files that he'd shared confidential trade information with

714
00:24:09,980 --> 00:24:11,320
the convicted sex offender.

715
00:24:11,940 --> 00:24:14,120
The former prince was released after 11 hours.

716
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,700
He is denied any wrongdoing.

717
00:24:16,300 --> 00:24:18,600
Jenny Bond has covered the royal family for

718
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,400
decades and spent 14 years as the BBC's

719
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,680
royal correspondent and joins us now from London.

720
00:24:24,020 --> 00:24:25,580
Jenny, thanks so much for being with us.

721
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:26,540
My pleasure.

722
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:27,460
My pleasure.

723
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,920
How damaging is this scandal?

724
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,900
Well, it's a huge story over here.

725
00:24:35,020 --> 00:24:37,760
The papers have been dominated by it for

726
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,880
days, even weeks.

727
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,260
And this weekend, it is page after page

728
00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:45,260
after page of analysis of what this means

729
00:24:45,260 --> 00:24:45,940
for the monarchy.

730
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,980
Just how damaging is it?

731
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:51,960
Clearly, it is tarnishing the reputation of the

732
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,380
monarchy, but the palace are very keen to

733
00:24:55,380 --> 00:24:57,080
separate monarchy from family.

734
00:24:57,300 --> 00:24:59,200
It's a difficult separation.

735
00:24:59,860 --> 00:25:02,840
But I think the view, the predominant view

736
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,560
is that Charles has acted pretty decisively, maybe

737
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,780
a bit too late, but pretty decisively in

738
00:25:08,780 --> 00:25:09,020
this.

739
00:25:09,780 --> 00:25:13,220
And the big news today, the main line

740
00:25:13,220 --> 00:25:16,020
is whether or not Andrew is now going

741
00:25:16,020 --> 00:25:17,920
to be removed from the line of succession,

742
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,540
because incredibly, he is still eighth in line

743
00:25:20,540 --> 00:25:21,080
of succession.

744
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,980
This is something that always comes up whenever

745
00:25:24,980 --> 00:25:26,680
there's some kind of scandal in the UK.

746
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,420
Oh, it's a threat to the monarchy.

747
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,480
Threat to the monarchy.

748
00:25:29,620 --> 00:25:31,340
It's never a threat to the monarchy.

749
00:25:31,460 --> 00:25:32,440
What are they going to do?

750
00:25:32,460 --> 00:25:33,320
What are they going to do to the

751
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:33,680
monarchy?

752
00:25:34,140 --> 00:25:34,720
What are they going to do?

753
00:25:35,820 --> 00:25:36,280
Threaten it.

754
00:25:36,380 --> 00:25:36,840
Kick them out?

755
00:25:36,940 --> 00:25:38,240
Kick them out of Buckingham Palace?

756
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:39,340
It's a threat.

757
00:25:39,420 --> 00:25:40,200
Just a threat?

758
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:41,920
Shake your fist.

759
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:42,720
Yeah, exactly.

760
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,260
That seems to be like the pastime for

761
00:25:46,260 --> 00:25:46,720
the Brits.

762
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,380
Oh, threat to the monarchy.

763
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,460
What will we do?

764
00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:50,980
Yeah.

765
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,820
Yeah, it's pretty much, let's go to two.

766
00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:56,260
Of course, King Charles said in his statements,

767
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,500
law must take its course and has not

768
00:25:58,500 --> 00:25:59,340
intervened.

769
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,180
But what about the argument that they've been

770
00:26:01,180 --> 00:26:04,380
aware of serious allegations against Andrew for years

771
00:26:04,380 --> 00:26:06,680
and have effectively protected him?

772
00:26:06,820 --> 00:26:08,920
Yes, this is the other big debate that's

773
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:09,380
going on.

774
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:11,180
And I think now we are at a

775
00:26:11,180 --> 00:26:14,780
stage where we are demanding more transparency, more

776
00:26:14,780 --> 00:26:15,280
accountability.

777
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,940
I think people do want to know exactly

778
00:26:17,940 --> 00:26:18,300
that.

779
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,900
What did the royal family know about Andrew's

780
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:21,340
going on?

781
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,980
Well, with Epstein, as regards the sex abuse

782
00:26:24,980 --> 00:26:28,180
allegations, but also now why he was arrested

783
00:26:28,180 --> 00:26:32,400
was because of alleged misconduct in public office

784
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,560
when he was trade envoy.

785
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,520
So we've got two strands going on here,

786
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,420
at least two.

787
00:26:37,140 --> 00:26:40,940
And we've now got more than 11, I

788
00:26:40,940 --> 00:26:43,300
think it is, police forces in this country

789
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:46,880
circling Andrew, investigating different strands.

790
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,000
And there is this overriding feeling that the

791
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,520
palace have got to give up this whole

792
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,980
idea of never complain, never explain.

793
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,500
Abandon the old myth, which goes back to

794
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:00,320
the 1800s.

795
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:03,440
You must not let daylight into the magic

796
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,080
of monarchy.

797
00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:05,960
It's all nonsense now.

798
00:27:06,940 --> 00:27:08,560
No, this is what it's always been.

799
00:27:08,620 --> 00:27:09,660
I watched The Crown.

800
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,080
All they care about is what's in the

801
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:14,440
paper.

802
00:27:14,780 --> 00:27:16,620
Hey, you got more ink than I did.

803
00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:18,980
No, that's all they care about.

804
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,920
And I consider that to be true.

805
00:27:21,300 --> 00:27:22,480
I don't care.

806
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:25,660
They are wretched, soulless people.

807
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,940
It's a horrible gig.

808
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,640
And they have, you know, colluded bloodlines, cousins

809
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,040
and all kinds of stuff.

810
00:27:36,980 --> 00:27:39,660
But somehow they still own a lot.

811
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:40,840
They own a lot of land.

812
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:43,780
They have a massive holdings.

813
00:27:43,780 --> 00:27:47,220
I think the British royal family is estimated

814
00:27:47,220 --> 00:27:49,980
50 billion, which I think is an underestimation.

815
00:27:50,220 --> 00:27:50,740
That's probably low.

816
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:51,740
That's what I think too.

817
00:27:52,420 --> 00:27:55,460
And they're not allowed to sell the land.

818
00:27:55,660 --> 00:27:58,280
But this is why they have leasehold in

819
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:58,620
the UK.

820
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,660
Oh, you can build your house here.

821
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,220
But you have to pay us rent for

822
00:28:02,220 --> 00:28:03,180
99 years.

823
00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:04,900
And then it renews.

824
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:06,500
It's just like...

825
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:08,740
I think everything...

826
00:28:08,740 --> 00:28:09,340
The fact doesn't...

827
00:28:10,940 --> 00:28:12,240
The Queen is dead.

828
00:28:12,460 --> 00:28:14,460
But didn't she own an island that's not

829
00:28:14,460 --> 00:28:15,380
even part of the UK?

830
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:16,820
I don't know.

831
00:28:18,140 --> 00:28:18,940
I forgot.

832
00:28:19,180 --> 00:28:20,660
People out there know what I'm talking about.

833
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:21,640
It wouldn't surprise me.

834
00:28:21,940 --> 00:28:24,480
Let's go to the last of this.

835
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,680
There is some feeling, as I probably don't

836
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,480
have to tell you, in the United States,

837
00:28:28,780 --> 00:28:31,640
that, well, there's some admiration for the British

838
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,400
legal system.

839
00:28:33,060 --> 00:28:33,500
Admiration?

840
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,460
Yeah, I understand that.

841
00:28:34,740 --> 00:28:35,380
But Converse...

842
00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:36,620
Yes, because of the Whigs.

843
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,120
I've been reading reports this morning...

844
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,020
Hold on a second.

845
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:39,360
Stop.

846
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,000
You have to listen to this one.

847
00:28:42,140 --> 00:28:43,100
This is unbelievable.

848
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:43,740
This is...

849
00:28:43,740 --> 00:28:45,220
We're talking...

850
00:28:45,220 --> 00:28:46,500
We've done two segments, okay?

851
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,760
Can we do something to kind of slam

852
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,280
Trump?

853
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,360
Is there any way we can work Trump

854
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,040
into this?

855
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:52,760
Bring him in.

856
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:53,420
Bring him in.

857
00:28:54,220 --> 00:28:55,440
Yeah, I understand that.

858
00:28:55,540 --> 00:28:57,760
But conversely, I've been reading reports this morning

859
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,720
saying that if the Americans hadn't decided to

860
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,580
release the Epstein files, then we wouldn't be

861
00:29:03,580 --> 00:29:04,380
where we are now.

862
00:29:04,460 --> 00:29:05,660
And so I suppose for that, we should

863
00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:06,240
be grateful.

864
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,100
But yes, I think that legitimately you could

865
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:11,820
ask now whether the American authorities should go

866
00:29:11,820 --> 00:29:14,940
further with the people, not least President Trump,

867
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,660
who has been at least mentioned many times

868
00:29:16,660 --> 00:29:17,740
in the Epstein files.

869
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,660
He says he's been exonerated.

870
00:29:19,740 --> 00:29:21,080
I know, and perhaps he has been.

871
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,040
But I think the King has acted very

872
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,020
decisively here.

873
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:26,500
I mean, we were gobsmacked.

874
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,720
Veteran correspondents like myself, who've lived through decades

875
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,940
of scandals and crises, from the deaths and

876
00:29:33,940 --> 00:29:38,320
divorces, the Fergie being found topless, having a

877
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,480
toe suction in the south of France, the

878
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,360
castle catching fire, rows about whether the Queen

879
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,000
should pay taxes.

880
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,260
All of that has been dreadful.

881
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,920
Of course, the death of Diana as well.

882
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,020
But I think we have been impressed by

883
00:29:53,020 --> 00:29:55,960
the way the King has taken this straight

884
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,800
on and saying very clearly in a sentence

885
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,240
that stood out on its own, let me

886
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,340
state clearly the law must take its course.

887
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,940
Does he have to say that to preserve

888
00:30:05,940 --> 00:30:06,460
the monarchy?

889
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,640
Well, I think he does, yes.

890
00:30:10,860 --> 00:30:12,460
So a little rundown.

891
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,520
People who have had to resign or have

892
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,520
gotten into trouble for emails with Epstein.

893
00:30:20,620 --> 00:30:25,340
Brad Karp, chairman of Paul and Weiss.

894
00:30:25,820 --> 00:30:26,720
He resigned.

895
00:30:27,100 --> 00:30:28,900
He's a lawyer, corporate law firm.

896
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:32,580
And that was the first law firm to

897
00:30:32,580 --> 00:30:35,000
strike a deal offering pro bono work after

898
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,220
Trump targeted attorneys representing his political foes.

899
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:41,200
That's not exactly what it was, but okay.

900
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:45,480
It's a good narrative that they've created, though.

901
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:45,980
I like it.

902
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,980
Then we have Kathy Rumler, top counsel, Goldman

903
00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:53,820
Sachs, White House counsel to former President Obama.

904
00:30:54,780 --> 00:30:55,260
Yes, to Obama.

905
00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:55,920
Which they left out.

906
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,420
If you read the newsletter, I had the

907
00:30:57,420 --> 00:30:58,280
hypocrite of the week.

908
00:30:58,420 --> 00:30:59,800
Oh yeah, I used to get all that.

909
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,360
CNN conveniently left that little tidbit out, heaven

910
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:03,680
forbid.

911
00:31:03,980 --> 00:31:05,940
And she, in the emails, was downplaying his

912
00:31:05,940 --> 00:31:06,580
sex crimes.

913
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:07,300
Go figure.

914
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,180
Casey Wasserman, I talked about him, the Hollywood

915
00:31:11,180 --> 00:31:11,760
agent.

916
00:31:12,540 --> 00:31:14,400
And I guess now they're calling for him

917
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,860
to resign from the Los Angeles 28th Olympic

918
00:31:16,860 --> 00:31:17,340
Committee.

919
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:19,460
Yeah, that's a good one.

920
00:31:20,940 --> 00:31:23,020
Everyone should resign from the Olympic Committee.

921
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,200
I don't think any of them are any

922
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:24,400
good.

923
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,880
Peter, Peter, Peter, they're always...

924
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:28,580
Yeah, you're right.

925
00:31:28,580 --> 00:31:31,620
Those people are always really sketchy in every

926
00:31:31,620 --> 00:31:32,220
country.

927
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,800
Even if it's just the local IOC.

928
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,780
Peter Atiyah, who was he?

929
00:31:39,900 --> 00:31:41,620
He was, wasn't he with CBS?

930
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,620
I don't remember.

931
00:31:43,620 --> 00:31:44,940
Well, he's, yeah, I think he's a contributor

932
00:31:44,940 --> 00:31:45,460
to CBS.

933
00:31:45,620 --> 00:31:50,200
Steve Tisch, chairman, co-owner of the Giants.

934
00:31:52,220 --> 00:31:55,600
Howard Lutnick, everyone wants him to resign.

935
00:31:55,740 --> 00:31:56,820
Of course, he's Trump's guy.

936
00:31:57,380 --> 00:31:58,880
Mandelson, obviously.

937
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,540
Morgan McSweeney, that's the advisor to Starmer.

938
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,660
I said, hey, you can appoint that guy.

939
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,240
It's not a problem.

940
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,940
Norway's former prime minister, Torbjörn Jagland.

941
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,900
Jack Lang, French politician.

942
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,760
And then my favorite, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulaym.

943
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,060
And he enjoyed the torture video.

944
00:32:20,140 --> 00:32:22,500
Yeah, he's the one who enjoyed the torture

945
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:22,920
video.

946
00:32:23,060 --> 00:32:25,600
How can we, what torture video was this?

947
00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:28,840
You think they'd get released, at least release

948
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:29,240
that?

949
00:32:29,420 --> 00:32:30,080
You'd think they'd have something.

950
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:31,920
Yes, that sounds good.

951
00:32:33,020 --> 00:32:34,860
So, but what has happened here?

952
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:36,700
And we were watching, last night we watched

953
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:36,940
a...

954
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,340
And by the way, I can explain that

955
00:32:39,340 --> 00:32:40,820
with my whorehouse theory too.

956
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:42,160
Okay.

957
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:45,580
There are some women out there, it doesn't

958
00:32:45,580 --> 00:32:49,320
take a genius to track them down, who

959
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,780
are complete, unbelievable masochists.

960
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,920
And who would probably agree for a fat

961
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,200
fee to be tortured and like it.

962
00:32:59,260 --> 00:33:00,280
Oh man.

963
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:01,600
Sorry.

964
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,940
WHT, the whorehouse theory.

965
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:05,980
We're going to leave it in.

966
00:33:08,180 --> 00:33:11,400
What this has done though, globally, because I

967
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,860
read the Dutch papers, people send me German

968
00:33:13,860 --> 00:33:15,720
articles, which I can kind of get through.

969
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,120
And there is complete distrust, lack in all

970
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:20,620
government.

971
00:33:20,620 --> 00:33:23,300
And Tina and I were watching yesterday, we

972
00:33:23,300 --> 00:33:26,740
just came across it on Netflix, Breakdown 1975,

973
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,580
which is...

974
00:33:28,580 --> 00:33:29,440
Ooh, is it good?

975
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:30,380
Yeah, it's very good.

976
00:33:30,620 --> 00:33:31,360
Something I can watch?

977
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:31,840
Yes.

978
00:33:32,540 --> 00:33:37,460
I've been watching Australian murder mysteries, it's how

979
00:33:37,460 --> 00:33:38,380
bad it's gotten.

980
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,960
So Breakdown 1975 is, it's really, it's a

981
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,280
fractal is what it is.

982
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,800
You'll love it because they look at the

983
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,980
year 1975 from a popular culture point of

984
00:33:51,980 --> 00:33:52,140
view.

985
00:33:52,300 --> 00:33:55,160
So movies and television primarily.

986
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,900
And when you look at that time, it

987
00:33:59,900 --> 00:34:01,100
was so similar.

988
00:34:01,220 --> 00:34:05,360
We had scandals, we had Watergate, New York

989
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,219
was a shithole, rats were everywhere.

990
00:34:09,219 --> 00:34:11,540
This is where movies come out like Taxi

991
00:34:11,540 --> 00:34:15,080
Driver, you know, Death Wish, Charles Bronson.

992
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:15,520
Blackboard Jungle.

993
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,120
Black, yeah, all of this stuff.

994
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,360
And it's very analogous to now, with the

995
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,980
exception that it's probably not quite as bad

996
00:34:25,980 --> 00:34:27,300
today as it was then.

997
00:34:27,780 --> 00:34:29,239
And what came out of this...

998
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:29,339
Yet.

999
00:34:29,659 --> 00:34:30,320
Yet, yeah.

1000
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:31,760
Well, and so maybe we're a little bit

1001
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,000
late because by 1976, things started to change.

1002
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,600
And before you knew it, we had yuppies

1003
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,380
and we had, you know, Jane Fonda was

1004
00:34:38,380 --> 00:34:41,679
doing workout videos, but it's worth watching.

1005
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,480
It's narrated by Jodie Foster, who was in

1006
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,800
Taxi Driver as I think a 13 year

1007
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:47,060
old.

1008
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:48,719
Yeah, yeah.

1009
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,639
And, oh, and they pinpointed it.

1010
00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:51,239
This was interesting.

1011
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,040
They pinpointed, so they had Jaws.

1012
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,260
Jaws was a big change where they shifted

1013
00:34:57,260 --> 00:34:59,820
from the bad guy winning to the good

1014
00:34:59,820 --> 00:35:01,580
guy winning and blowing up the shark.

1015
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,140
And then as they claim in this, in

1016
00:35:04,140 --> 00:35:05,940
this documentary kind of...

1017
00:35:05,940 --> 00:35:08,220
Yes, there was a period of time in

1018
00:35:08,220 --> 00:35:10,340
the movies, especially where the anti-hero.

1019
00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:11,000
Yes.

1020
00:35:11,100 --> 00:35:11,820
Was the key.

1021
00:35:12,060 --> 00:35:12,400
Was the winner.

1022
00:35:13,060 --> 00:35:15,200
Epitomized by Steve McQueen in a number of

1023
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:15,520
films.

1024
00:35:15,820 --> 00:35:18,240
And what was the other one with the

1025
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:19,100
bank heist?

1026
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:22,620
Yeah, that was the Steve McQueen movie.

1027
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,220
No, no, no, no, no, that wasn't...

1028
00:35:24,220 --> 00:35:25,760
Dog Day Afternoon, was that it?

1029
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,060
No, I'm trying to think what...

1030
00:35:27,060 --> 00:35:29,420
But Dog Day Afternoon was really a sickening

1031
00:35:29,420 --> 00:35:29,800
film.

1032
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,620
That was the bank heist, wasn't it?

1033
00:35:31,740 --> 00:35:32,380
No, I don't...

1034
00:35:32,380 --> 00:35:33,120
No, that was the one...

1035
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,800
Dog Day Afternoon, wasn't that where they surrounded

1036
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:35,300
the...

1037
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:37,120
It was not as bad as the one

1038
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,460
where they surrounded the precinct, but it was

1039
00:35:38,460 --> 00:35:38,980
something like that.

1040
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:39,860
It was a bunch of creeps.

1041
00:35:40,820 --> 00:35:42,000
Well, all of that.

1042
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:42,520
Whatever.

1043
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:43,960
Everything was corrupt.

1044
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,100
Everything was rotten.

1045
00:35:45,260 --> 00:35:46,320
People had no trust.

1046
00:35:46,580 --> 00:35:51,320
People actually were really starving, starving, starving in

1047
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,280
our big cities.

1048
00:35:53,140 --> 00:35:54,860
Protests, everyone hated the cops.

1049
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,360
Everyone hated the politicians.

1050
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,700
And then all of a sudden, we got

1051
00:35:58,700 --> 00:35:59,080
Rocky.

1052
00:36:00,420 --> 00:36:02,060
And then everything changed.

1053
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:03,720
Like, oh, all right.

1054
00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:06,880
We got this guy, and he makes it

1055
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,360
up all the way to the top, and

1056
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,780
he's running, he's doing his stuff.

1057
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,220
And then things started to change.

1058
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:14,200
So I'm just waiting for the pivotal movie

1059
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:14,880
to come along.

1060
00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:17,480
Yeah, but there's a major difference here.

1061
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,440
One is that we had an economic downturn

1062
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,080
that started in 1969 and went throughout to

1063
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,160
the 70s, very similar to and parallel, almost

1064
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,580
completely parallel to the 30s, where you had

1065
00:36:28,580 --> 00:36:31,220
the bottom of the thing bottomed out in

1066
00:36:31,220 --> 00:36:33,120
33 as it did in 73.

1067
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:36,140
And then you had a kind of a

1068
00:36:36,140 --> 00:36:38,620
renaissance two years later in 35.

1069
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,780
And the movies in the 30s and 70s

1070
00:36:41,780 --> 00:36:43,060
are similar in their creativity.

1071
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,360
But it was all based on the fact

1072
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,660
that the economic downturn was controlling things.

1073
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,100
At the point we're at right now, we

1074
00:36:51,100 --> 00:36:52,020
don't have that.

1075
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,720
So the parallels are not that consistent.

1076
00:36:54,940 --> 00:36:57,040
I think that could happen, but it won't

1077
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,560
happen for a couple of years.

1078
00:36:59,740 --> 00:37:01,500
Oh, well, that should keep us in business

1079
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:02,300
for a while then.

1080
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:03,620
I think so.

1081
00:37:03,620 --> 00:37:04,020
Yeah.

1082
00:37:05,420 --> 00:37:07,240
So this led me to...

1083
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:09,220
Someone sent me a video and the video

1084
00:37:09,220 --> 00:37:10,720
is just kind of a narration.

1085
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,680
I'll play it just for explanation's sake.

1086
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,260
Unless you want to talk more about Epstein

1087
00:37:17,260 --> 00:37:17,720
or something.

1088
00:37:17,860 --> 00:37:18,400
Are we kind of done with that?

1089
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:18,760
No, I'm done.

1090
00:37:18,860 --> 00:37:20,020
I got my thesis out there.

1091
00:37:20,180 --> 00:37:22,340
Now I can hang things off it for

1092
00:37:22,340 --> 00:37:23,280
the next few shows.

1093
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:24,660
Yes, it's the whorehouse thesis.

1094
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:25,280
We'll take it.

1095
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,000
Universe 25 experiment.

1096
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:28,920
Ever heard of this?

1097
00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:29,820
No.

1098
00:37:29,820 --> 00:37:34,840
Also known as the mouse paradise experiment.

1099
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,180
Oh, this is where they had all the

1100
00:37:37,180 --> 00:37:40,680
mice and they all ended up just preening

1101
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,220
and they ended up having sex and the

1102
00:37:42,220 --> 00:37:43,400
whole colony died out.

1103
00:37:43,540 --> 00:37:44,540
Yes, I'm familiar with it.

1104
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:45,100
Yes.

1105
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,400
I'm dubious, by the way, about whether this

1106
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:49,660
really was...

1107
00:37:49,660 --> 00:37:54,000
I haven't seen the documentation for this experiment.

1108
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:54,640
I have.

1109
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:55,600
John B.

1110
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:56,140
Calhoun.

1111
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,560
Unless it's falsified somehow.

1112
00:37:59,820 --> 00:38:01,280
I think it could be.

1113
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,680
I mean, it's too convenient.

1114
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:06,440
Well, let's listen to it and let's just

1115
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,120
take it as real and discuss it because

1116
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:14,120
obviously it has a lot of relevance to

1117
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:14,560
today.

1118
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,660
This is why everyone is single and men

1119
00:38:16,660 --> 00:38:17,320
stop trying.

1120
00:38:17,580 --> 00:38:20,100
This is the mouse paradise, a scientific experiment

1121
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:21,220
from the 1960s.

1122
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:23,100
They made the perfect world for mice with

1123
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:25,880
unlimited food, safety and no predators.

1124
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,160
In the beginning, they placed four females and

1125
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,640
four males and let them multiply.

1126
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,960
The population exploded.

1127
00:38:31,340 --> 00:38:32,240
Hundreds, then thousands.

1128
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:33,880
Then something strange happened.

1129
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:34,980
They stopped mating.

1130
00:38:35,220 --> 00:38:37,500
And within four years, they were extinct.

1131
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:38,340
But why?

1132
00:38:38,900 --> 00:38:42,700
According to scientists, the reason was social interaction

1133
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:43,480
overload.

1134
00:38:43,820 --> 00:38:45,680
Just like humans on social media today.

1135
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,180
They were in 24-7 interaction with thousands

1136
00:38:49,180 --> 00:38:49,900
of others.

1137
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,160
Too much stimulation, too much competition for social

1138
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:53,640
status.

1139
00:38:53,860 --> 00:38:55,680
And this led them to lose the ability

1140
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,060
to form bonds, to mate and raise their

1141
00:38:58,060 --> 00:38:58,340
young.

1142
00:38:58,340 --> 00:39:01,160
Many males became so-called the beautiful ones.

1143
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,220
They lost interest in females.

1144
00:39:03,660 --> 00:39:06,900
They just groomed themselves all day and withdrew

1145
00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:09,600
completely because they could not compete in this

1146
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,400
chaos anymore.

1147
00:39:10,660 --> 00:39:13,040
And the females followed by losing interest in

1148
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:13,280
males.

1149
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,720
So no mating and they all just died

1150
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:17,020
without having babies.

1151
00:39:17,180 --> 00:39:20,320
Since 2010 smartphones, humans are living the same

1152
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,780
social interaction overload.

1153
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,060
24-7 status competition.

1154
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,120
Income and lifestyle comparison with thousands of others.

1155
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,480
Physical looks to impossible standards.

1156
00:39:29,740 --> 00:39:32,040
And many young people just choose to withdraw.

1157
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,460
For the first time in history, young people

1158
00:39:34,460 --> 00:39:36,780
are having less sex than their parents.

1159
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:39,640
30% of men under 30 had no

1160
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,680
sex for a year.

1161
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,960
Loneliness epidemic hits us harder than any virus

1162
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:44,200
could.

1163
00:39:44,260 --> 00:39:45,900
Yeah, that's worse than I thought it would

1164
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:47,200
sound, to be honest about it.

1165
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:51,820
So I do have a link from Scientific

1166
00:39:51,820 --> 00:39:52,340
American.

1167
00:39:53,140 --> 00:39:55,060
Yeah, I'd like to see that.

1168
00:39:55,060 --> 00:39:57,320
It does bring me to the phone clips

1169
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,060
I have here.

1170
00:39:58,220 --> 00:39:59,460
Well, can I explain it first?

1171
00:39:59,540 --> 00:40:00,540
You just want to hijack it and talk

1172
00:40:00,540 --> 00:40:00,640
about something else.

1173
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,000
No, no, I'm just telling you in advance

1174
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,840
so you don't start jumping to another topic.

1175
00:40:04,980 --> 00:40:05,620
That was a trick.

1176
00:40:06,020 --> 00:40:06,640
Oh, it was a trick.

1177
00:40:06,820 --> 00:40:08,490
I'm sorry that you revealed my...

1178
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:10,760
You blew it.

1179
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:13,820
This is from PubMed.

1180
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:15,740
John B.

1181
00:40:16,020 --> 00:40:19,660
Calhoun, population density and social pathology.

1182
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,180
So it is real.

1183
00:40:22,180 --> 00:40:24,540
Now, of course, I haven't looked completely deep

1184
00:40:24,540 --> 00:40:26,420
into that paper if it's exactly the same,

1185
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,560
but I'm just going to take it at

1186
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,020
face value.

1187
00:40:29,180 --> 00:40:32,320
So the idea is they had enough...

1188
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,120
Well, I mean, I like the idea.

1189
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:35,300
Let's put it that way.

1190
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,520
But it's a little too convenient for my

1191
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:37,920
taste.

1192
00:40:38,260 --> 00:40:40,840
So they had enough food and space for

1193
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:41,840
3,000 mice.

1194
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,140
They throw a couple in there.

1195
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,320
They start mating.

1196
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,440
They get up to about 2,000, but

1197
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,120
it's relatively limited space, like New York City.

1198
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,420
And then suddenly they stop having sex.

1199
00:40:53,580 --> 00:40:54,980
They're not reproducing.

1200
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,740
There's a whole class of male mice who

1201
00:40:58,740 --> 00:41:00,880
become the beautiful ones.

1202
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,140
They're grooming.

1203
00:41:02,380 --> 00:41:03,940
They look great, but they won't have sex

1204
00:41:03,940 --> 00:41:04,600
with anybody.

1205
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,760
And the conclusion from Calhoun is that it's

1206
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,740
a social interaction overload.

1207
00:41:14,540 --> 00:41:17,780
And the comparison that's being made is that

1208
00:41:17,780 --> 00:41:21,320
we, as humans, and this is where I

1209
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,000
actually question, okay, mice may have similar organs.

1210
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:25,800
You can test vaccines on them, but I

1211
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,360
don't know if we can compare our brains,

1212
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,160
that humans are in a moment of social

1213
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,760
interactive overload.

1214
00:41:34,460 --> 00:41:36,880
And thus, we become more interested in not

1215
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,880
actually reproducing, but looking great on Instagram and

1216
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:41,620
preeming.

1217
00:41:41,620 --> 00:41:44,280
And I think about that.

1218
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,780
I'm like, yeah, that is exactly what is

1219
00:41:46,780 --> 00:41:50,200
happening, because there's just too much interaction with

1220
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,080
not just on social media, but in general.

1221
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:54,020
You're texting.

1222
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:55,020
You've got alerts.

1223
00:41:55,060 --> 00:41:56,160
You've got this going on.

1224
00:41:56,180 --> 00:41:57,040
You've got that going on.

1225
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,160
I think there's something to it.

1226
00:42:00,420 --> 00:42:02,200
Well, yeah, the problem is it's too convenient.

1227
00:42:02,540 --> 00:42:03,580
Too convenient for what?

1228
00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:05,520
It matches up too well.

1229
00:42:05,970 --> 00:42:06,880
Social interaction.

1230
00:42:09,380 --> 00:42:11,720
Coincidentally, we have the same thing going on

1231
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:13,540
with the media or social media.

1232
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,220
But you've been harping on this, and you're

1233
00:42:16,220 --> 00:42:16,780
susceptible.

1234
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:20,060
This is almost like bias confirmation with you,

1235
00:42:20,180 --> 00:42:22,500
because you've always had this thesis for the

1236
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:26,840
last 20 years about over socialization under something

1237
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:27,280
or other.

1238
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,800
Yes, so I am, in fact, Calhoun stole

1239
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:31,400
this from me.

1240
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,380
Yeah, that's what it almost sounds like.

1241
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,460
I saw this, too, and I didn't clip

1242
00:42:38,460 --> 00:42:38,580
it.

1243
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:39,300
I'm glad you did.

1244
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,340
But it was like...

1245
00:42:41,340 --> 00:42:42,060
So it's going around.

1246
00:42:42,180 --> 00:42:43,360
I'm not the only one who saw it.

1247
00:42:43,420 --> 00:42:43,900
It's going around.

1248
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,000
Oh, yeah, no, it's going around.

1249
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:45,760
It was on Twitter.

1250
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,020
Okay, okay.

1251
00:42:47,140 --> 00:42:48,760
Or X, X is on it.

1252
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:49,560
X, X, X.

1253
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:54,420
So, but talking about that brings me to

1254
00:42:54,420 --> 00:42:57,120
the cell phone conversation, which is going on,

1255
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,380
which is the cell phone is the real

1256
00:42:58,380 --> 00:43:00,380
problem here at some level.

1257
00:43:00,660 --> 00:43:02,760
Before we go on, I think we need

1258
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,240
to call it something else.

1259
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:06,540
It's not a phone.

1260
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,960
Who uses these to call someone?

1261
00:43:09,700 --> 00:43:11,120
Very few people nowadays.

1262
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:12,560
I mean, we need to call it...

1263
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,240
They're just on it scrolling, and they're holding

1264
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:14,980
it as a...

1265
00:43:14,980 --> 00:43:16,720
And they're also holding it all the time.

1266
00:43:17,340 --> 00:43:19,620
Again, I'd give you credit for this one,

1267
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,080
because I didn't catch it right away.

1268
00:43:21,620 --> 00:43:24,060
Because I keep my iPhone in a drawer.

1269
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,760
But you noticed that, and I've noticed it

1270
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:26,920
now.

1271
00:43:26,980 --> 00:43:28,720
And now I see, and it's actually gotten

1272
00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:34,240
worse, where people walk around the street holding

1273
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:37,080
the phone, like it's like some pet or

1274
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:37,480
something.

1275
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,600
They have to have the phone in their

1276
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:40,180
hand.

1277
00:43:42,100 --> 00:43:42,980
Yeah, well...

1278
00:43:42,980 --> 00:43:45,060
While walking down the street.

1279
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:45,840
I have to...

1280
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,880
It's like a controlling slab or a...

1281
00:43:49,860 --> 00:43:51,460
A controlling slab.

1282
00:43:51,780 --> 00:43:52,820
Security slab.

1283
00:43:53,260 --> 00:43:53,660
I mean, this...

1284
00:43:53,660 --> 00:43:54,920
You're on, you're getting there.

1285
00:43:54,940 --> 00:43:56,680
Yeah, I like the slab thing.

1286
00:43:56,820 --> 00:43:58,580
I'd like, I'd like freedom controller.

1287
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:00,460
I've used that for different things throughout the,

1288
00:44:00,580 --> 00:44:01,660
you know, 30 years.

1289
00:44:01,740 --> 00:44:02,980
So maybe that's not, but...

1290
00:44:02,980 --> 00:44:03,980
No, no, it's no good.

1291
00:44:03,980 --> 00:44:05,320
A controller slab.

1292
00:44:05,460 --> 00:44:06,800
That's really, truly what it is.

1293
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:07,740
I had an interesting...

1294
00:44:08,940 --> 00:44:11,020
Something interesting happened, you know, I was in

1295
00:44:11,020 --> 00:44:12,060
Nashville all last week.

1296
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,340
Friday morning, I get up.

1297
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,000
And I had that, that funky flip phone

1298
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:17,760
from the...

1299
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,540
I had, you'll find out why, from Samsung,

1300
00:44:20,740 --> 00:44:22,040
the Galaxy Z Flip.

1301
00:44:22,940 --> 00:44:25,100
Oh, yeah, that one.

1302
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,960
So I broke, I broke the previous one.

1303
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,080
I'm like, okay.

1304
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,920
And that was my own fault, because these

1305
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,060
things are just so fragile.

1306
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:35,080
And so I got a new one.

1307
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,960
And I wake up and I go to

1308
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:38,940
unplug the phone.

1309
00:44:39,260 --> 00:44:39,920
And it's hot.

1310
00:44:40,340 --> 00:44:41,220
Like, wow, it was hot.

1311
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,280
And I see the battery going like 95,

1312
00:44:43,660 --> 00:44:44,560
90, 89.

1313
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,060
It's going down pretty quick.

1314
00:44:46,580 --> 00:44:47,680
So I plug it in.

1315
00:44:48,020 --> 00:44:49,820
You know, it's, it kind of hovers between

1316
00:44:49,820 --> 00:44:51,280
85 and 87.

1317
00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:52,460
It's going up and down.

1318
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:53,700
I don't know what's going on with this.

1319
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,560
So we had meetings, had to get to

1320
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:56,100
the airport.

1321
00:44:56,700 --> 00:44:58,620
And so here's your modern life.

1322
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:00,420
This is the way I had planned it.

1323
00:45:00,420 --> 00:45:02,180
Oh, I'll just get an Uber from the

1324
00:45:02,180 --> 00:45:03,220
hotel to the airport.

1325
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:04,720
Nashville's like 15 minutes.

1326
00:45:05,060 --> 00:45:07,760
And so I have 35% by, it's

1327
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:08,320
one o'clock.

1328
00:45:08,620 --> 00:45:10,420
I haven't used the phone at all to

1329
00:45:10,420 --> 00:45:10,980
get the Uber.

1330
00:45:11,340 --> 00:45:12,080
Get in the Uber.

1331
00:45:12,340 --> 00:45:14,040
I see it going down, going down.

1332
00:45:14,380 --> 00:45:17,460
Now, luckily, I was still able to retrieve

1333
00:45:17,460 --> 00:45:19,420
my reservation number.

1334
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,140
So I get my paper ticket, because I

1335
00:45:21,140 --> 00:45:22,700
don't do any tickets on the phone.

1336
00:45:23,260 --> 00:45:25,600
I go through TSA and this thing dies.

1337
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,240
And I'm thinking, like, I can't tell Tina

1338
00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:29,340
that I'm on my way.

1339
00:45:29,340 --> 00:45:31,180
I can't tell the person who's going to

1340
00:45:31,180 --> 00:45:32,280
pick me up at the airport.

1341
00:45:33,300 --> 00:45:35,220
And I'm like, well, I can plug it

1342
00:45:35,220 --> 00:45:36,000
in on the plane.

1343
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:36,640
That'll be good.

1344
00:45:36,700 --> 00:45:38,020
And I'll probably get some juice out of

1345
00:45:38,020 --> 00:45:38,140
it.

1346
00:45:38,340 --> 00:45:40,480
Of course, I have the only Southwest 737

1347
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,400
that has no power, no USB, nothing.

1348
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,260
And like, this thing has way too much

1349
00:45:48,260 --> 00:45:49,360
importance in my life.

1350
00:45:49,420 --> 00:45:51,660
And I'm not talking about X or anything

1351
00:45:51,660 --> 00:45:52,160
like that.

1352
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,460
Just for some simple things in travel.

1353
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,300
Yep, it's a controller, controlling slab.

1354
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:01,960
Controller slab, maybe, might sound better.

1355
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,140
Controller slab, yeah.

1356
00:46:04,060 --> 00:46:06,420
Or control, I don't know, because control, yeah.

1357
00:46:07,740 --> 00:46:09,120
You've got the right words.

1358
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:12,320
I'm getting there, I'm getting there.

1359
00:46:12,340 --> 00:46:13,540
It has nothing to do with the phone.

1360
00:46:13,580 --> 00:46:15,940
Calling it a phone is weak and pathetic.

1361
00:46:16,660 --> 00:46:18,060
And here was the next thought I had.

1362
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,900
Because of the constant holding it in your

1363
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:22,740
hand, I got to have it with me.

1364
00:46:23,220 --> 00:46:25,020
Oh, in case I need to take a

1365
00:46:25,020 --> 00:46:25,240
picture.

1366
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:31,980
Now, with the AI chatbots, and I should

1367
00:46:31,980 --> 00:46:33,780
mention, this thing is fried.

1368
00:46:34,700 --> 00:46:36,500
You know, something got short-circuited.

1369
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,120
It's completely fried.

1370
00:46:38,220 --> 00:46:39,360
It'll never come back to life.

1371
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,060
And I went back to my Graphene OS,

1372
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,340
and I'm fine with that on my Pixel

1373
00:46:43,340 --> 00:46:43,940
6a.

1374
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:44,940
I'm done with it.

1375
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,800
But in the course of trying to troubleshoot

1376
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,760
this thing, you know, I'm going through, I'm

1377
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:53,840
on Gemini.

1378
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,960
Okay, I'm at a certain point.

1379
00:46:56,060 --> 00:46:57,920
I have a USB cable hooked up.

1380
00:46:58,100 --> 00:47:01,980
I am SSH-ing into the phone, because

1381
00:47:01,980 --> 00:47:05,320
there's a basic Unix kernel underneath.

1382
00:47:05,980 --> 00:47:07,780
I'm doing HTOP.

1383
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,780
I'm looking at what is eating the processors.

1384
00:47:11,260 --> 00:47:12,640
I'm looking at all the apps.

1385
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,740
And all of a sudden, it's like, hi,

1386
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:15,500
I'm Bixby.

1387
00:47:15,700 --> 00:47:16,920
How can I help you today?

1388
00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:18,500
Bixby, who are you?

1389
00:47:20,060 --> 00:47:23,360
That's, Samsung has just installed Bixby the robot

1390
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:24,280
on the phone.

1391
00:47:24,820 --> 00:47:26,480
And you look at all this stuff.

1392
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,180
Meta, I've never had a meta app on

1393
00:47:29,180 --> 00:47:29,660
this phone.

1394
00:47:30,020 --> 00:47:31,320
It has something in there.

1395
00:47:31,580 --> 00:47:32,520
It's trolling.

1396
00:47:32,660 --> 00:47:33,920
It's doing all kinds of stuff.

1397
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:35,320
This is a horrible thing.

1398
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,240
They pack it filled with all kinds of

1399
00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:41,040
junk and spyware and so-called helpful things.

1400
00:47:41,380 --> 00:47:43,060
You just want to swipe a window away.

1401
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:44,980
Oh, here's Google AI.

1402
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,920
Oh, would you like to change this picture?

1403
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,500
Hi, I'm Gemini.

1404
00:47:49,620 --> 00:47:50,960
Would you like me to help you compose

1405
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:51,800
the next email?

1406
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,020
No, no, stop going.

1407
00:47:55,500 --> 00:47:57,480
And here's the thinking I had.

1408
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,480
This robot stuff is a distraction.

1409
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,820
Let's presume for a second AI is really

1410
00:48:05,820 --> 00:48:06,460
intelligent.

1411
00:48:07,260 --> 00:48:08,160
We know it's not.

1412
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,160
But to me, the AI has a huge

1413
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:12,760
advantage.

1414
00:48:13,260 --> 00:48:15,540
It already has humanoid movement.

1415
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:17,820
It tells people what to do.

1416
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,660
We are the robots.

1417
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,940
The way people are going, talking to these

1418
00:48:21,940 --> 00:48:24,620
chatbots and the brain is in the phone.

1419
00:48:24,740 --> 00:48:26,200
And you are the robot.

1420
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,320
It's going to tell you what.

1421
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:29,900
It already tells us how to drive.

1422
00:48:30,620 --> 00:48:32,140
It already tells us everything else.

1423
00:48:32,140 --> 00:48:32,740
How to dress.

1424
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:33,320
Oh, it's cold.

1425
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:35,940
We're being assimilated.

1426
00:48:36,900 --> 00:48:37,280
Not me.

1427
00:48:37,720 --> 00:48:38,720
No, not you, I know.

1428
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,280
I'm just catching myself.

1429
00:48:41,460 --> 00:48:44,040
Oh no, this has got to stop.

1430
00:48:45,020 --> 00:48:46,160
It's got to stop.

1431
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,040
It's got to stop.

1432
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,320
It's exactly the reverse.

1433
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,760
And if you and you and you all

1434
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,680
these worries of yours, because you couldn't call

1435
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,040
the Uber because the phone was dead.

1436
00:48:55,260 --> 00:48:57,140
If you were one of the kids today.

1437
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:58,340
I'd be dead.

1438
00:48:58,980 --> 00:49:01,020
No, you'd be fine.

1439
00:49:02,260 --> 00:49:04,180
You'll figure it out when you play these

1440
00:49:04,180 --> 00:49:06,040
cell phone clips why you'd be fine.

1441
00:49:06,780 --> 00:49:07,860
All right, let me see.

1442
00:49:07,940 --> 00:49:09,280
Where are these cell phone clips?

1443
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,240
Are they labeled cell phone clips?

1444
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,060
Yeah, they're labeled cell.

1445
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,120
All right, cell phones in school.

1446
00:49:15,180 --> 00:49:16,480
Number one, is this NPR?

1447
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:18,560
Yes, it is.

1448
00:49:18,900 --> 00:49:21,300
Are halfway through the school year for millions

1449
00:49:21,300 --> 00:49:22,040
of students.

1450
00:49:22,240 --> 00:49:24,380
That means they should be heading to class

1451
00:49:24,380 --> 00:49:25,480
without their cell phones.

1452
00:49:25,700 --> 00:49:27,940
More than 30 states have now enacted some

1453
00:49:27,940 --> 00:49:30,480
kind of ban, and that includes Kentucky.

1454
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,280
NPR Sequoia-Carrillo checked in with educators and

1455
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,380
students in Louisville, which has one of the

1456
00:49:36,380 --> 00:49:38,780
strictest policies in the state.

1457
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,560
They told her the ban is not quite

1458
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,140
working out the way it was supposed to.

1459
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:43,160
Good morning.

1460
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:44,480
How are you doing?

1461
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,600
Holly Smith is in her second year as

1462
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,200
executive principal at the Academy at Shawnee.

1463
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,440
She says she can already see a big

1464
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,560
difference from a semester without cell phones.

1465
00:49:53,820 --> 00:49:55,000
We didn't even know the majority of the

1466
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,180
kids were learning because they weren't responding.

1467
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:58,440
They were just doing things on their phones.

1468
00:49:58,500 --> 00:49:59,340
But now there's discourse.

1469
00:49:59,460 --> 00:50:00,760
They're like, OK, I actually feel like I'm

1470
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:01,440
connecting now.

1471
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,720
Jefferson County's policy is strict.

1472
00:50:04,220 --> 00:50:06,660
Each student has a yonder pouch, a locked

1473
00:50:06,660 --> 00:50:08,620
bag for them to carry their phones throughout

1474
00:50:08,620 --> 00:50:09,080
the day.

1475
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:10,620
They have to put them in the bags

1476
00:50:10,620 --> 00:50:12,120
when they walk in the school in the

1477
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,560
morning and can unlock them as they exit

1478
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:15,940
the school at the end of the day.

1479
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,240
It's a well-laid plan, one that many

1480
00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:22,260
schools around the country have adopted, and researchers

1481
00:50:22,260 --> 00:50:24,320
have touted as the best approach to the

1482
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:25,900
issue of cell phones in schools.

1483
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,260
But the real question is, is it working?

1484
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,880
I asked Smith what the students think.

1485
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,680
I mean, I think they absolutely hate it.

1486
00:50:33,740 --> 00:50:34,860
Their phone is their lives.

1487
00:50:34,900 --> 00:50:35,440
It's their world.

1488
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,960
Jayden O'Neill, a senior here, couldn't agree

1489
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:38,300
more.

1490
00:50:38,420 --> 00:50:39,540
I think all the students hate it.

1491
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,260
I think they're going to rebel more.

1492
00:50:41,260 --> 00:50:43,400
She's one of three students who agreed to

1493
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,520
talk to us in the school's library right

1494
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:46,640
before their lunch period.

1495
00:50:47,060 --> 00:50:48,300
I just want to make a note of

1496
00:50:48,300 --> 00:50:50,060
the term yonder pouch.

1497
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,680
I think this would be an excellent premium.

1498
00:50:54,020 --> 00:50:55,280
I don't even know what it is, but

1499
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:56,300
I like how it sounds.

1500
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:57,740
A yonder pouch.

1501
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:59,380
Well, you should talk to the No Agenda

1502
00:50:59,380 --> 00:50:59,700
shop.

1503
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,060
Maybe they can make a yonder.

1504
00:51:01,220 --> 00:51:02,840
Is that just a little bag you put

1505
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:03,440
your phone into?

1506
00:51:03,660 --> 00:51:04,480
I think it's a bag, yeah.

1507
00:51:04,820 --> 00:51:07,320
I think it probably may have some mesh

1508
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:08,300
in there, I would hope.

1509
00:51:08,300 --> 00:51:11,320
So I'm going to just presume that, of

1510
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:12,580
course, the kids are happy.

1511
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:13,500
It's great.

1512
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,120
I feel better in class.

1513
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,740
Whereas, you know, they're in a controlled environment.

1514
00:51:17,740 --> 00:51:19,860
They can't last for three seconds outside of

1515
00:51:19,860 --> 00:51:21,760
the school without their controller slab.

1516
00:51:25,460 --> 00:51:27,240
I think you may be wrong.

1517
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:28,540
Take me back to August.

1518
00:51:28,700 --> 00:51:31,180
Like, right when you come back to school,

1519
00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:33,120
what is it like having to lock up

1520
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:33,480
your phone?

1521
00:51:34,020 --> 00:51:36,160
In August, it was like you'd walk in

1522
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:37,400
the doors and they'd tell you to find

1523
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:38,860
the pouch that had your name on it.

1524
00:51:38,860 --> 00:51:41,300
And then they watched you lock it up.

1525
00:51:41,500 --> 00:51:43,540
And it was like most kids either brought

1526
00:51:43,540 --> 00:51:45,060
a spare phone or they said they didn't

1527
00:51:45,060 --> 00:51:47,540
have a phone or they broke the pouches

1528
00:51:47,540 --> 00:51:48,300
and cut them open.

1529
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:50,060
People brought a spare phone.

1530
00:51:50,460 --> 00:51:51,740
They just had an extra phone.

1531
00:51:51,860 --> 00:51:53,360
They had multiple extra phones.

1532
00:51:53,820 --> 00:51:56,340
We also talked to senior Quanay Lanier.

1533
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,740
They have multiple extra phones for their friends.

1534
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,100
I asked junior Joseph Jolly whether students are

1535
00:52:02,100 --> 00:52:03,160
abiding by the ban.

1536
00:52:03,300 --> 00:52:06,320
I would say that the risks from being

1537
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,060
caught are definitely more enforced.

1538
00:52:08,060 --> 00:52:11,340
So people often, they're really worried about that.

1539
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:13,960
But I would otherwise say they mostly just

1540
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,160
put them in their pockets and they call

1541
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:15,560
it a day.

1542
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:16,960
There is rules.

1543
00:52:17,260 --> 00:52:18,420
Like, if you have your phone, I will

1544
00:52:18,420 --> 00:52:18,840
take it.

1545
00:52:18,900 --> 00:52:20,980
But it's not enough for people to care.

1546
00:52:21,540 --> 00:52:22,980
Like, I know one day they're not going

1547
00:52:22,980 --> 00:52:23,460
to say anything.

1548
00:52:23,580 --> 00:52:24,640
So I'm just going to keep doing it

1549
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:24,980
regardless.

1550
00:52:25,660 --> 00:52:27,780
As we talked, students were moving through the

1551
00:52:27,780 --> 00:52:28,880
halls between classes.

1552
00:52:29,460 --> 00:52:31,820
Most kids were chatting, but a few still

1553
00:52:31,820 --> 00:52:32,840
had headphones on.

1554
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,460
And one had a phone out taking a

1555
00:52:35,460 --> 00:52:36,220
selfie video.

1556
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,120
Jolly said we wouldn't necessarily see the same

1557
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:40,940
thing inside the classroom.

1558
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:42,600
People know they're going to get in trouble

1559
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:43,360
if they keep it out.

1560
00:52:43,860 --> 00:52:45,520
They've started to actually focus on work.

1561
00:52:45,820 --> 00:52:47,080
And I think we've become more productive because

1562
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:47,420
of that.

1563
00:52:49,820 --> 00:52:52,260
I think they just find alternative things to

1564
00:52:52,260 --> 00:52:52,420
do.

1565
00:52:52,660 --> 00:52:54,320
Or they just talk more to their friends.

1566
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,220
Okay, so kind of at the end there.

1567
00:52:58,260 --> 00:53:00,540
So you have the, that's what you, you

1568
00:53:00,540 --> 00:53:01,640
see the kids are smart.

1569
00:53:01,740 --> 00:53:03,480
They have multiple phones.

1570
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,120
They're like Wall Street brokers.

1571
00:53:06,580 --> 00:53:08,160
They have three phones.

1572
00:53:08,700 --> 00:53:09,120
Drug dealers.

1573
00:53:09,140 --> 00:53:10,820
If you brought your other phone, you would

1574
00:53:10,820 --> 00:53:11,540
have been fine.

1575
00:53:12,980 --> 00:53:14,740
Oh, I forgot to mention.

1576
00:53:15,140 --> 00:53:15,960
I forgot to mention.

1577
00:53:21,020 --> 00:53:25,060
One of the instructions the brilliant Gemini AI

1578
00:53:25,060 --> 00:53:29,360
gave me was to clear out the Google

1579
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:33,420
Play framework data.

1580
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,340
Clear cache, clear data.

1581
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,760
Then immediately my phone went, I can't log

1582
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:40,280
in anything.

1583
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:41,440
There's nothing we can do.

1584
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,580
But you can log into Google.

1585
00:53:44,900 --> 00:53:46,960
I guess for, I don't even know what

1586
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:48,400
it was, but nothing was working.

1587
00:53:49,140 --> 00:53:51,660
Say, okay, I'll log into Google and I

1588
00:53:51,660 --> 00:53:52,800
have my username.

1589
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:53,960
I have my password.

1590
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,220
You don't have any pass keys.

1591
00:53:56,380 --> 00:53:57,460
No, I've never set that up.

1592
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:58,480
Well, it's okay.

1593
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,820
Just grab your other phone and tap on

1594
00:54:02,820 --> 00:54:04,540
the icon that matches the one I'm showing

1595
00:54:04,540 --> 00:54:04,880
you now.

1596
00:54:04,980 --> 00:54:06,140
I have one phone.

1597
00:54:07,900 --> 00:54:13,940
You have to have your secondary device with

1598
00:54:13,940 --> 00:54:14,160
you.

1599
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:15,620
What is that all about?

1600
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:17,180
That's insane.

1601
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:18,920
Even the kids know better.

1602
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:25,520
So it's, yes, it's very bad.

1603
00:54:25,820 --> 00:54:30,940
In fact, there was a, yeah, well, let's

1604
00:54:30,940 --> 00:54:31,460
do that.

1605
00:54:31,460 --> 00:54:32,700
How about the lawsuit?

1606
00:54:33,700 --> 00:54:39,820
The meta lawsuit that people are saying they

1607
00:54:39,820 --> 00:54:42,300
got addicted to Instagram.

1608
00:54:42,940 --> 00:54:44,200
You've heard about this.

1609
00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:46,920
I think it's in Arizona, I believe is

1610
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:47,440
where it's playing.

1611
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,720
Actually, I have not heard of it, but

1612
00:54:49,720 --> 00:54:51,020
it doesn't surprise me.

1613
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,720
Well, luckily enough, our girl Kara Swisher, who

1614
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:58,340
you personally gave media training to, joined up

1615
00:54:58,340 --> 00:55:00,820
with Anderson Cooper to talk about this.

1616
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:01,560
But go ahead, Kara.

1617
00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:05,180
It's breaking news, Mark Zuckerberg, the powerful CEO

1618
00:55:05,180 --> 00:55:05,600
of Meta.

1619
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:06,680
It's breaking news.

1620
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:08,780
Testified in a landmark trial in Los Angeles

1621
00:55:08,780 --> 00:55:11,000
today where social media companies are accused of

1622
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,880
intentionally addicting children to their platforms.

1623
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,580
Now, Meta, of course, owns Instagram, which is

1624
00:55:16,580 --> 00:55:17,720
a defendant in the suit.

1625
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:19,600
This is the first time that Zuckerberg has

1626
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,540
testified in front of a jury on claims

1627
00:55:21,540 --> 00:55:24,020
that social media harms children's mental health.

1628
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,600
He's testifying as a witness, not a defendant

1629
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,480
in this case, which was brought by a

1630
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,400
woman who claims the companies designed their products

1631
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,000
to addict her when she was a child,

1632
00:55:33,180 --> 00:55:34,400
damaging her mental health.

1633
00:55:34,980 --> 00:55:37,060
Hundreds of more cases like this have been

1634
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:37,460
filed.

1635
00:55:37,780 --> 00:55:39,700
Kara Swisher joins me now, hosts the podcast

1636
00:55:39,700 --> 00:55:42,000
On with Kara Swisher and Pivot.

1637
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,300
How big a moment does this feel like

1638
00:55:45,300 --> 00:55:45,680
to you?

1639
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:46,680
How big a moment?

1640
00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:47,940
Obviously, it's a landmark case.

1641
00:55:48,380 --> 00:55:49,880
We've seen Zuckerberg testifying.

1642
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:51,900
Their courtroom is a different arena.

1643
00:55:53,100 --> 00:55:55,320
Yeah, I think it's just yet another appearance

1644
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,140
and doing the same thing where they've done

1645
00:55:57,140 --> 00:55:58,940
nothing over the many years.

1646
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,080
And then they have these testimonies of parents

1647
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,600
that feel like their kids have gotten hurt

1648
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,080
or there's safety issues or addiction issues.

1649
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:07,440
And they sort of sail by them.

1650
00:56:07,540 --> 00:56:09,040
I mean, this is obviously a court case,

1651
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,660
but it's sort of more of the same.

1652
00:56:11,660 --> 00:56:14,200
I've been hearing this from Zuckerberg since I

1653
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,980
met him, essentially, is that everybody wants to

1654
00:56:16,980 --> 00:56:19,380
use these apps because they're so fantastic and

1655
00:56:19,380 --> 00:56:21,300
not that there might be problems using them.

1656
00:56:21,700 --> 00:56:24,760
So Kara Swisher and Professor Scott Galloway.

1657
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:26,820
How's that boycott going, Scott Galloway?

1658
00:56:27,740 --> 00:56:30,880
They're always talking about age gating.

1659
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,160
We've got to age gate for alcohol, for

1660
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:34,580
cigarettes.

1661
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,560
We should be age gating for these apps.

1662
00:56:37,060 --> 00:56:38,980
It turns out even Kara knows that age

1663
00:56:38,980 --> 00:56:41,020
gating doesn't work because kids are smart.

1664
00:56:41,020 --> 00:56:43,600
And the plaintiff in this case began using

1665
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:44,880
Instagram at nine.

1666
00:56:45,060 --> 00:56:47,160
There was some heated testimony about Instagram's age

1667
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,100
verification rules, keeping kids under the age of

1668
00:56:49,100 --> 00:56:49,920
13 off it.

1669
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,240
Is there any reason to think that that

1670
00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:53,500
is a sufficient safeguard?

1671
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:55,700
No, not at all.

1672
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,940
They took years and years, I think just

1673
00:56:57,940 --> 00:57:01,300
until 2019, to really have a version of

1674
00:57:01,300 --> 00:57:01,820
age gating.

1675
00:57:01,940 --> 00:57:03,480
And it's a very light one in place.

1676
00:57:04,340 --> 00:57:05,960
I was surprised to see, what is it,

1677
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,320
4 million 10 to 12-year-olds on

1678
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,540
the platform when nobody under 13 is supposed

1679
00:57:10,540 --> 00:57:11,220
to be on it.

1680
00:57:11,620 --> 00:57:12,980
I love this.

1681
00:57:13,220 --> 00:57:15,520
Everyone's so upset about evidence we have not

1682
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,020
yet been able to produce about Epstein.

1683
00:57:19,180 --> 00:57:21,300
Yet there's 4 million kids being abused on

1684
00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:24,880
a daily basis by social media.

1685
00:57:25,060 --> 00:57:27,400
Obviously, they're not doing a great job of

1686
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:28,660
keeping people off.

1687
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,820
And a lot of the emails talk about

1688
00:57:30,820 --> 00:57:35,660
the idea of employees who wanted more guardrails

1689
00:57:35,660 --> 00:57:37,340
and them not being put in place because

1690
00:57:37,340 --> 00:57:38,040
of the leadership.

1691
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:40,680
They have all kinds of arguments.

1692
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:41,260
Why not?

1693
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:42,760
And by the way, they're not the only

1694
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:43,060
one.

1695
00:57:43,220 --> 00:57:47,720
YouTube is right now on trial here and

1696
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:48,120
others.

1697
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:49,040
There's many others.

1698
00:57:49,220 --> 00:57:50,520
And this is a question of whether these

1699
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:54,640
are addictive experiences and products, or are they

1700
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,480
just so great that we can't stop using

1701
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:56,800
them?

1702
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,300
Seems like the same thing to me.

1703
00:57:59,580 --> 00:58:02,440
But they're trying to call it problematic usage

1704
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,220
versus addiction.

1705
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:05,820
And that's what they'll try to do.

1706
00:58:05,820 --> 00:58:08,740
They'll try to blame the victim for her

1707
00:58:08,740 --> 00:58:11,240
own problems and that didn't happen because of

1708
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:11,520
them.

1709
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,000
But certainly, all of us know social media

1710
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,580
is a problem, whether it's on partisanship or

1711
00:58:16,580 --> 00:58:18,940
making us hate each other, making us feel

1712
00:58:18,940 --> 00:58:21,580
bad or making girls have less self-esteem

1713
00:58:21,580 --> 00:58:23,320
or boys be more isolated.

1714
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,260
I think anyone who's a parent knows this.

1715
00:58:26,420 --> 00:58:28,640
And anyone who's a person knows this.

1716
00:58:28,780 --> 00:58:31,260
Using these apps can be really problematic.

1717
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:32,820
Problematic.

1718
00:58:32,820 --> 00:58:36,020
So the problem here is the parents who

1719
00:58:36,020 --> 00:58:39,460
are setting this example themselves and here is

1720
00:58:39,460 --> 00:58:39,920
in fact.

1721
00:58:40,060 --> 00:58:41,600
Yeah, they got the phone at the dining

1722
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:42,360
room table.

1723
00:58:42,580 --> 00:58:44,340
They're on it all the time and they're

1724
00:58:44,340 --> 00:58:46,820
walking around with it in their hands 24

1725
00:58:46,820 --> 00:58:47,300
-7.

1726
00:58:47,500 --> 00:58:49,120
I know we sound like boomers, but we're

1727
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:50,260
just identifying the problem.

1728
00:58:50,260 --> 00:58:51,980
When I was a kid, we didn't have

1729
00:58:51,980 --> 00:58:52,620
such a thing.

1730
00:58:53,260 --> 00:58:56,300
And then they have it in the bedroom

1731
00:58:56,300 --> 00:58:57,700
sitting there and they use it as an

1732
00:58:57,700 --> 00:58:58,580
alarm clock.

1733
00:58:58,720 --> 00:58:59,400
Oh my God.

1734
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:00,340
I think you do too.

1735
00:59:00,420 --> 00:59:01,080
No offense.

1736
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,120
Now, listen to Anderson Cooper as he discusses

1737
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:05,820
his social media issues.

1738
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:06,800
Well, even for adults.

1739
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:08,200
I mean, you know, I mean, I'm on

1740
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,940
Instagram and I find myself, you know, occasionally

1741
00:59:10,940 --> 00:59:12,920
getting sucked in and, you know, just scrolling

1742
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,260
and feeling terrible about my life because everyone

1743
00:59:15,260 --> 00:59:18,300
seems to be having a much Anderson Cooper.

1744
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:19,360
Wow.

1745
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:20,680
An actual this.

1746
00:59:20,780 --> 00:59:21,620
That is OK.

1747
00:59:21,740 --> 00:59:21,980
I'm good.

1748
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:23,840
By the way, before we finish, that's a

1749
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:25,560
clip of the day that because you you

1750
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,700
have a call back.

1751
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:28,980
Excellent work.

1752
00:59:30,180 --> 00:59:31,060
Excellent work.

1753
00:59:31,060 --> 00:59:31,460
Thank you.

1754
00:59:31,540 --> 00:59:31,920
I said it.

1755
00:59:31,980 --> 00:59:32,580
Thank you.

1756
00:59:32,700 --> 00:59:33,520
I worked on that.

1757
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,340
I like I better not screw this up

1758
00:59:35,340 --> 00:59:37,260
because John will already you'll give it the

1759
00:59:37,260 --> 00:59:38,000
punch line away.

1760
00:59:39,300 --> 00:59:41,040
This is this is pathetic.

1761
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,640
This is really, really pathetic.

1762
00:59:43,780 --> 00:59:44,840
Let's just listen to that one more.

1763
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:45,580
So pathetic.

1764
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:47,220
He is Anderson Cooper.

1765
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,460
I'm so jealous of the girl in the

1766
00:59:49,460 --> 00:59:49,880
bikini.

1767
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:51,380
Look how good she looks.

1768
00:59:51,660 --> 00:59:53,400
Did you see the video that is floating

1769
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,160
around of the woman who has a filter?

1770
00:59:55,620 --> 00:59:57,140
She's like she's filter.

1771
00:59:57,140 --> 00:59:58,600
She had a filter and the filter was

1772
00:59:58,600 --> 00:59:59,900
failing and went back and forth and back

1773
00:59:59,900 --> 01:00:01,680
and forth real fast showing your real face.

1774
01:00:01,700 --> 01:00:02,540
No, I haven't seen.

1775
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:03,560
Oh, my God.

1776
01:00:03,580 --> 01:00:04,900
Just some ugly duckling.

1777
01:00:05,220 --> 01:00:06,440
Well, even for adults.

1778
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:07,840
I mean, you know, I mean, I'm on

1779
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,580
Instagram and I find myself, you know, occasionally

1780
01:00:10,580 --> 01:00:12,560
getting sucked in and, you know, just scrolling

1781
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,900
and feeling terrible about my life because everyone

1782
01:00:14,900 --> 01:00:17,460
seems to be having a much more exciting

1783
01:00:17,460 --> 01:00:17,880
life.

1784
01:00:18,020 --> 01:00:19,280
And how is this possible?

1785
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:21,380
He is a Vanderbilt.

1786
01:00:21,700 --> 01:00:22,800
He's a Vanderbilt.

1787
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,600
He is.

1788
01:00:25,140 --> 01:00:28,580
He must have money outside of CNN.

1789
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,840
And how can his life be worse?

1790
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,060
Clearly, it's not.

1791
01:00:34,540 --> 01:00:36,220
No, clearly, it's not.

1792
01:00:36,300 --> 01:00:37,640
He's in a Buffalo.

1793
01:00:38,020 --> 01:00:39,180
He's in a gay.

1794
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:40,620
He's on television.

1795
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:41,340
Yeah.

1796
01:00:41,540 --> 01:00:42,060
And a gay.

1797
01:00:42,620 --> 01:00:46,240
No, he's a plus gay for sure.

1798
01:00:46,500 --> 01:00:48,040
He looks good for his age.

1799
01:00:48,100 --> 01:00:49,340
Everything's rocking and rolling.

1800
01:00:49,500 --> 01:00:50,340
He has stature.

1801
01:00:50,940 --> 01:00:53,080
Well, I guess he's leaving CBS, but, you

1802
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:54,140
know, doing 60 minutes.

1803
01:00:55,140 --> 01:00:56,920
Do you know he was also 60 minutes.

1804
01:00:57,100 --> 01:00:57,720
He was a 60.

1805
01:00:57,760 --> 01:00:59,360
Oh, he's got space on 60 minutes, too.

1806
01:00:59,520 --> 01:00:59,720
Yeah.

1807
01:00:59,940 --> 01:01:00,580
Special correspondent.

1808
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:01,180
He's living there?

1809
01:01:01,380 --> 01:01:01,580
What?

1810
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:01,980
Yeah.

1811
01:01:02,260 --> 01:01:03,160
I read that somewhere.

1812
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:03,820
What a life.

1813
01:01:04,180 --> 01:01:04,900
What a life.

1814
01:01:05,500 --> 01:01:08,140
And yet and yet he is now trying

1815
01:01:08,140 --> 01:01:11,120
to understand and having an adult conversation with

1816
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:12,740
a semi-adult Kara Swisher.

1817
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:13,800
We don't know what she is.

1818
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,040
To say it happens to me, too.

1819
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,060
Well, hello.

1820
01:01:19,780 --> 01:01:24,060
The gamification aspect of getting the dopamine hits

1821
01:01:24,060 --> 01:01:26,700
of likes and followers and things like that.

1822
01:01:27,740 --> 01:01:31,860
And apparently Anderson Cooper is worried about getting

1823
01:01:31,860 --> 01:01:32,940
likes and followers.

1824
01:01:33,860 --> 01:01:34,440
What?

1825
01:01:34,940 --> 01:01:37,620
What is what's going on here?

1826
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,700
Well, it's designed, as I said earlier today,

1827
01:01:40,700 --> 01:01:42,020
like a casino of attention.

1828
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:43,840
It's not the same thing as watching a

1829
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:44,040
movie.

1830
01:01:44,140 --> 01:01:44,560
It's not this.

1831
01:01:44,740 --> 01:01:46,220
They do make those arguments.

1832
01:01:46,220 --> 01:01:48,680
They call it entertainment now, but it's not

1833
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:49,060
entertainment.

1834
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:49,960
It's something else.

1835
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:51,420
And I'm not sure what to call it.

1836
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,280
But it does feel like a casino.

1837
01:01:53,460 --> 01:01:54,800
You can't look away from the lights.

1838
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:56,100
You can't stop pressing the button.

1839
01:01:56,220 --> 01:01:57,980
You can't stop going to the next red

1840
01:01:57,980 --> 01:01:58,340
button.

1841
01:01:59,220 --> 01:02:01,840
And it can make you feel bad, especially

1842
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,340
if your feeds are bad.

1843
01:02:04,460 --> 01:02:06,900
It can make you feel isolated and all

1844
01:02:06,900 --> 01:02:07,240
kinds of things.

1845
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,520
And I think everybody knows this.

1846
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:09,700
And that's going to be the problem here

1847
01:02:09,700 --> 01:02:12,540
for Facebook is the jury probably has addiction

1848
01:02:12,540 --> 01:02:15,100
problems of their own, even if Facebook doesn't

1849
01:02:15,100 --> 01:02:16,500
want to call it addiction.

1850
01:02:16,500 --> 01:02:17,540
Facebook executives.

1851
01:02:18,100 --> 01:02:20,660
But everybody understands the relationship with the phone

1852
01:02:20,660 --> 01:02:22,860
has gotten toxic, especially for young people.

1853
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,100
She makes a good point.

1854
01:02:25,420 --> 01:02:27,080
The jury is going to be hooked, too.

1855
01:02:27,420 --> 01:02:28,380
We're doomed.

1856
01:02:28,700 --> 01:02:29,840
Society is doomed.

1857
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:31,280
Oh, yeah.

1858
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:32,700
I've said it before.

1859
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:36,340
Since 2007, when that phone came out, Satan's

1860
01:02:36,340 --> 01:02:36,700
tool.

1861
01:02:37,860 --> 01:02:38,740
All we need.

1862
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:40,380
And I'm not the religious one here.

1863
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:42,280
But it is.

1864
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:43,580
It is the attack vector.

1865
01:02:43,700 --> 01:02:46,080
The controller slab is the attack vector of

1866
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:46,200
life.

1867
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,620
If anybody doesn't see the symbolism of having

1868
01:02:48,620 --> 01:02:51,060
an apple on the back with a bite

1869
01:02:51,060 --> 01:02:53,360
taken out of it, then you're missing the

1870
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:53,720
point.

1871
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,040
The serpent has struck.

1872
01:02:59,960 --> 01:03:00,380
Yes.

1873
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:02,600
All we need to do.

1874
01:03:02,780 --> 01:03:03,940
I got a great idea.

1875
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:05,980
Have the phone talk back to you and

1876
01:03:05,980 --> 01:03:06,940
have a conversation.

1877
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:08,760
What else could go wrong?

1878
01:03:08,820 --> 01:03:10,320
It couldn't be any worse than it could

1879
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:10,860
go wrong.

1880
01:03:10,860 --> 01:03:11,640
It couldn't be any worse.

1881
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,400
By the way, I nailed I nailed myself.

1882
01:03:14,860 --> 01:03:16,760
I got the.

1883
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:18,600
Now I'm going to you're going to have

1884
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:18,940
to be.

1885
01:03:19,060 --> 01:03:20,900
I have to be careful now because every

1886
01:03:20,900 --> 01:03:22,840
time he's done that you ever see when

1887
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,660
you're trying to do addition and somebody just

1888
01:03:24,660 --> 01:03:28,440
throws numbers out into the air and those

1889
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,240
numbers go into your calculation.

1890
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,040
I have to now be very careful not

1891
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:33,660
saying it.

1892
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:35,400
No, neither of us have said it yet.

1893
01:03:35,700 --> 01:03:37,280
I'm just angry at myself.

1894
01:03:37,380 --> 01:03:38,060
Don't worry about it.

1895
01:03:38,260 --> 01:03:39,600
I won't mention it anymore.

1896
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:40,500
I'm not worrying about it.

1897
01:03:40,780 --> 01:03:42,560
I know a lot of our of our

1898
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:43,080
producers.

1899
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:44,800
Yeah, they bitch and moan that we worry

1900
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:45,520
about it.

1901
01:03:45,940 --> 01:03:48,700
So I have I got in through the

1902
01:03:48,700 --> 01:03:49,040
mail.

1903
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:50,580
Actually, you sent it FedEx.

1904
01:03:51,020 --> 01:03:52,240
I have here.

1905
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:53,700
This thing is huge.

1906
01:03:54,380 --> 01:03:57,960
A GeoForce RTX with a dark power 13

1907
01:03:57,960 --> 01:03:59,240
block attached to it.

1908
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,480
That is what is this?

1909
01:04:02,500 --> 01:04:04,140
This is an Nvidia GPU.

1910
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:06,000
Oh, the GPU.

1911
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:06,380
Yeah.

1912
01:04:06,460 --> 01:04:06,960
Yeah.

1913
01:04:07,100 --> 01:04:07,340
Wow.

1914
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:08,220
That thing is huge.

1915
01:04:08,220 --> 01:04:10,480
At least like three grand or something.

1916
01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:11,680
Not six.

1917
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:13,060
No, not this one.

1918
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:14,020
I don't know if it's this one.

1919
01:04:14,380 --> 01:04:15,500
But our producer sent it to me.

1920
01:04:15,860 --> 01:04:19,080
I mean, he's who knows where what what

1921
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:19,880
business he's in.

1922
01:04:19,980 --> 01:04:21,400
Like, I got one laying in the closet.

1923
01:04:21,580 --> 01:04:22,940
I've got a tracker on it.

1924
01:04:23,020 --> 01:04:24,900
I hope so.

1925
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:26,600
Everything you do to it's going to go

1926
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:27,040
to China.

1927
01:04:27,180 --> 01:04:28,980
He's already loaded it up with all the

1928
01:04:28,980 --> 01:04:31,900
AI models, a little Raspberry Pi attached to

1929
01:04:31,900 --> 01:04:32,020
it.

1930
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:33,100
The whole thing is phenomenal.

1931
01:04:33,780 --> 01:04:35,360
Very, very excited about this.

1932
01:04:35,460 --> 01:04:36,440
There goes the show.

1933
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:38,440
What do you mean, there goes the show?

1934
01:04:38,940 --> 01:04:40,140
I'm going to be creating the best.

1935
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,220
You'll be dicking around with that device.

1936
01:04:42,460 --> 01:04:43,900
The best ISOs ever.

1937
01:04:44,260 --> 01:04:46,600
The best ISOs ever.

1938
01:04:48,060 --> 01:04:49,880
Well, that could be.

1939
01:04:50,060 --> 01:04:52,720
The other big news in AI world, which

1940
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:59,460
we have obviously been predicting, is, you know,

1941
01:04:59,540 --> 01:05:00,800
the Sea Dance.

1942
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,620
The Sea Dance, where they recreated a fight

1943
01:05:04,620 --> 01:05:06,800
scene between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

1944
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:11,560
And the movie industry is outraged, I tell

1945
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:11,760
you.

1946
01:05:11,860 --> 01:05:14,460
Have you seen this epic new Brad Pitt,

1947
01:05:14,580 --> 01:05:15,520
Tom Cruise movie?

1948
01:05:16,300 --> 01:05:16,920
You haven't?

1949
01:05:17,780 --> 01:05:20,380
Well, actually, no one has, because it's not

1950
01:05:20,380 --> 01:05:20,660
real.

1951
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,580
But take a look at this AI generated

1952
01:05:22,580 --> 01:05:22,900
clip.

1953
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:26,100
It's created using a platform called Sea Dance

1954
01:05:26,100 --> 01:05:28,220
2.0. It's an AI tool from the

1955
01:05:28,220 --> 01:05:29,660
Chinese owned company, ByteDance.

1956
01:05:29,660 --> 01:05:32,980
It went viral last week, sparking a fiery

1957
01:05:32,980 --> 01:05:35,980
debate between Hollywood and the multi-billion dollar

1958
01:05:35,980 --> 01:05:37,400
tech industry.

1959
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:39,700
That is not Tom Cruise, and that is

1960
01:05:39,700 --> 01:05:40,380
not Brad Pitt.

1961
01:05:41,100 --> 01:05:42,460
But it sure looks like both of them.

1962
01:05:42,540 --> 01:05:44,020
Let's talk about this with Sean Astin.

1963
01:05:44,100 --> 01:05:47,020
He's the president of the entertainment union SAG

1964
01:05:47,020 --> 01:05:47,480
-AFTRA.

1965
01:05:47,540 --> 01:05:49,180
You might remember him, of course, from so

1966
01:05:49,180 --> 01:05:50,080
many movies.

1967
01:05:50,220 --> 01:05:51,720
The Goonies, Woody, Lord of the Rings.

1968
01:05:51,900 --> 01:05:52,340
The Goonies!

1969
01:05:52,420 --> 01:05:55,140
Your union released a statement Friday condemning the

1970
01:05:55,140 --> 01:05:58,120
clip and ByteDance, saying, quote, SAG-AFTRA stands

1971
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,600
with the studios in condemning the blatant infringement

1972
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,540
enabled by ByteDance's new AI video model, Sea

1973
01:06:03,540 --> 01:06:06,940
Dance 2.0. The infringement includes the unauthorized

1974
01:06:06,940 --> 01:06:08,820
use of our members' voices and likenesses.

1975
01:06:09,020 --> 01:06:09,740
This is unacceptable.

1976
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:10,560
Can you stop it for a second?

1977
01:06:10,860 --> 01:06:11,460
Yeah, sure.

1978
01:06:12,420 --> 01:06:13,700
Did ByteDance pay for this?

1979
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,440
Because they keep mentioning the product and the

1980
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,540
2.0, and they keep dropping everything, all

1981
01:06:19,540 --> 01:06:20,600
the details in.

1982
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,480
It seems a little suspect.

1983
01:06:22,820 --> 01:06:23,220
Possible.

1984
01:06:23,500 --> 01:06:24,300
That's possible.

1985
01:06:25,820 --> 01:06:28,360
It's also, you know, the, oh, China's going

1986
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,140
to kill us all meme is in there.

1987
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,140
Oh, the Chinese, the Chinese, the Chinese.

1988
01:06:32,460 --> 01:06:35,280
Infringement includes the unauthorized use of our members'

1989
01:06:35,420 --> 01:06:36,320
voices and likenesses.

1990
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:37,320
This is unacceptable.

1991
01:06:37,980 --> 01:06:39,940
And it undercuts the ability of human talent

1992
01:06:39,940 --> 01:06:40,880
to earn a livelihood.

1993
01:06:41,580 --> 01:06:43,580
Open AI had a similar issue.

1994
01:06:43,580 --> 01:06:46,600
And they very quickly reinforced the idea that

1995
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:50,000
they had an opt-in policy, even though

1996
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:51,740
they were sort of in an opt-out

1997
01:06:51,740 --> 01:06:52,440
modality.

1998
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:55,660
Meaning performers can see themselves.

1999
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,880
Brian Cranston can see himself and say, you

2000
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:00,420
know, hey, you're not supposed to have that.

2001
01:07:00,460 --> 01:07:01,760
And they go, sorry, take it down.

2002
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:03,760
Or they can say, hey, Brian Cranston, we

2003
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:05,260
want to use your image and likeness.

2004
01:07:05,380 --> 01:07:06,280
It's going to get your permission.

2005
01:07:06,380 --> 01:07:08,580
And he'd have the opportunity to make that

2006
01:07:08,580 --> 01:07:10,920
decision and get compensated for it and so

2007
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:11,160
forth.

2008
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,660
So we have an important piece of federal

2009
01:07:14,660 --> 01:07:16,940
legislation called the No Fakes Act, which is

2010
01:07:16,940 --> 01:07:19,420
in the Judiciary Committee now in the Senate.

2011
01:07:19,740 --> 01:07:21,760
And it would enshrine that right.

2012
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:23,880
That right to our own voice and likeness.

2013
01:07:24,260 --> 01:07:25,440
The No Fakes Act.

2014
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,740
Here's Hollywood desperately clinging on to relevance when,

2015
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,360
if you really look at that, that fight

2016
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:32,480
scene was a great fight scene.

2017
01:07:32,540 --> 01:07:35,640
It's better than them filming an original fight

2018
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:35,960
scene.

2019
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:37,340
It's fantastic.

2020
01:07:37,620 --> 01:07:38,160
I've not seen it.

2021
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:39,100
I've never seen it.

2022
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:39,920
Oh, it's really good.

2023
01:07:39,940 --> 01:07:40,520
You're a journalist.

2024
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,300
Your job is to make sure that the

2025
01:07:43,300 --> 01:07:44,840
First Amendment is protected.

2026
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:45,460
What?

2027
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:46,580
What?

2028
01:07:46,580 --> 01:07:46,900
What?

2029
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,340
Let me write down this on the list

2030
01:07:51,340 --> 01:07:52,640
of things that journalists do.

2031
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,220
So let's just hear that again.

2032
01:07:56,260 --> 01:07:58,140
Let's make sure that we're all understanding the

2033
01:07:58,140 --> 01:07:58,920
First Amendment here.

2034
01:07:59,000 --> 01:07:59,600
You're a journalist.

2035
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,340
Your job is to make sure that the

2036
01:08:02,340 --> 01:08:05,620
First Amendment is protected and is respected and

2037
01:08:05,620 --> 01:08:06,080
observed.

2038
01:08:06,700 --> 01:08:09,380
And in the entertainment industry, both the companies

2039
01:08:09,380 --> 01:08:12,420
and the talent have the same sense of

2040
01:08:12,420 --> 01:08:16,960
you know, reverence for the First Amendment, but

2041
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:17,979
you shouldn't be able to.

2042
01:08:20,420 --> 01:08:23,700
Somehow the First Amendment is being infringed on.

2043
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:27,060
No, you can talk about copyright law, maybe,

2044
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,120
but this copyright law, for sure.

2045
01:08:29,279 --> 01:08:33,040
This, this idiot from, well, we know you're

2046
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:33,720
from the Goonies.

2047
01:08:33,939 --> 01:08:38,680
He's now saying that not only is copying,

2048
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:43,060
digitally copying and manipulating material someone owns is

2049
01:08:43,060 --> 01:08:46,040
a First Amendment rights issue, which has nothing

2050
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,840
to do, there's no rights, but journalists are

2051
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:50,420
supposed to be protecting this?

2052
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,040
This is who the head is.

2053
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:55,700
This is, is this the head of SAG

2054
01:08:55,700 --> 01:08:56,080
-AFTRA?

2055
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:58,160
Yeah, I think.

2056
01:08:58,340 --> 01:08:59,760
It's an embarrassment to give it is.

2057
01:08:59,859 --> 01:09:01,340
Let me check out, make sure exactly what

2058
01:09:01,340 --> 01:09:01,600
it is.

2059
01:09:01,660 --> 01:09:03,720
Make me say something I didn't say or

2060
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,080
do something I didn't do or depict me

2061
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:07,700
in a way that I wouldn't, you know,

2062
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:09,220
in a setting I wouldn't put myself.

2063
01:09:09,220 --> 01:09:12,080
That's just basic fundamental fairness.

2064
01:09:12,260 --> 01:09:13,840
It goes not just to the professional.

2065
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:14,819
How's that different than acting?

2066
01:09:15,399 --> 01:09:17,520
He is indeed the president of SAG-AFTRA.

2067
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:19,520
How is that what he just said?

2068
01:09:19,779 --> 01:09:20,279
Back it up.

2069
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:22,300
How's that different than acting?

2070
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:23,160
Let's listen again.

2071
01:09:23,660 --> 01:09:25,939
Or do something I didn't do or depict

2072
01:09:25,939 --> 01:09:27,660
me in a way that I wouldn't, you

2073
01:09:27,660 --> 01:09:29,260
know, in a setting I wouldn't put myself.

2074
01:09:29,660 --> 01:09:32,140
That's just basic fundamental fairness.

2075
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:33,180
Yeah, it's acting.

2076
01:09:34,060 --> 01:09:34,819
Good point.

2077
01:09:34,819 --> 01:09:38,040
Not just to the professional entertainment industry.

2078
01:09:38,260 --> 01:09:41,380
It goes to kids who are abused in

2079
01:09:41,380 --> 01:09:41,920
this way.

2080
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,760
It goes towards anyone in our country and

2081
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:48,080
around the world who is, you know, when

2082
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,220
they post stuff on social media, when they

2083
01:09:50,220 --> 01:09:53,380
find themselves, their images captured in whatever ways

2084
01:09:53,380 --> 01:09:55,760
that they are subject to this same sort

2085
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:56,180
of abuse.

2086
01:09:56,200 --> 01:10:00,920
So it's time to put real guardrails in

2087
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:02,460
place that protect us.

2088
01:10:02,460 --> 01:10:05,440
Not to mention all these companies that don't

2089
01:10:05,440 --> 01:10:08,220
really design these cityscapes or whatever.

2090
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,780
They just plagiarize them from the work of

2091
01:10:10,780 --> 01:10:11,260
other people.

2092
01:10:11,380 --> 01:10:12,200
Sean Astin, thank you.

2093
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:12,820
Please come back.

2094
01:10:12,900 --> 01:10:14,520
We want to be talking about this and

2095
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,460
making sure artists are represented in this debate.

2096
01:10:16,540 --> 01:10:17,400
We really appreciate it.

2097
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:18,640
And we're all huge fans.

2098
01:10:19,140 --> 01:10:22,500
My director just showed his kids Goonies over

2099
01:10:22,500 --> 01:10:22,820
the weekend.

2100
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:23,620
Just FYI.

2101
01:10:23,780 --> 01:10:24,260
The union?

2102
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:25,820
Goonies never say die.

2103
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,260
No, he was in the Goonies.

2104
01:10:27,380 --> 01:10:28,160
He was in movies.

2105
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:29,820
He's a kid actor.

2106
01:10:30,700 --> 01:10:30,840
True.

2107
01:10:32,460 --> 01:10:34,840
But these are the same people who are

2108
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,420
taking notes from the Netflix executives to reiterate

2109
01:10:38,420 --> 01:10:41,060
the plot every 10 minutes in a Netflix

2110
01:10:41,060 --> 01:10:45,480
movie because the audience has no attention span.

2111
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:48,440
Because it's longer than three minutes.

2112
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:50,360
This movie lasts more than three minutes.

2113
01:10:50,740 --> 01:10:51,520
I mean, please.

2114
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,920
We've seen this happen in Unpacked before our

2115
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:55,400
very eyes.

2116
01:10:55,500 --> 01:10:56,700
It started with captions.

2117
01:10:57,340 --> 01:10:58,720
Gotta have the captions on.

2118
01:10:59,140 --> 01:11:00,680
If I don't have the captions, I can't

2119
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:01,400
follow the movie.

2120
01:11:01,740 --> 01:11:02,440
Yeah, that's right.

2121
01:11:02,440 --> 01:11:04,380
We talked about this before the caption thing.

2122
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:05,960
Can you do me a favor?

2123
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:06,740
I can try.

2124
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:11,680
And send the spreadsheet from Jay and her

2125
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:13,580
page to my Google account.

2126
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:14,320
Just forward it.

2127
01:11:14,660 --> 01:11:15,020
Okay.

2128
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:16,700
Well, if you play a clip, then I

2129
01:11:16,700 --> 01:11:17,680
can do that.

2130
01:11:18,660 --> 01:11:20,160
Well, I can play a bunch of clips.

2131
01:11:20,340 --> 01:11:20,920
No, just one.

2132
01:11:21,180 --> 01:11:22,040
How about playing the clips?

2133
01:11:22,220 --> 01:11:23,860
I kind of put it aside here.

2134
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:24,620
Just one is fine.

2135
01:11:25,460 --> 01:11:28,460
If somebody has sent this in, I went

2136
01:11:28,460 --> 01:11:30,220
and reclipped it so it's a little better,

2137
01:11:30,820 --> 01:11:32,180
about Keith Olbermann.

2138
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:33,500
He's still around?

2139
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:39,660
Yeah, Keith Olbermann talking about how he's become

2140
01:11:39,660 --> 01:11:41,220
a media deconstructor.

2141
01:11:41,460 --> 01:11:41,680
What?

2142
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,040
Olbermann on media one.

2143
01:11:45,540 --> 01:11:47,780
Every once in a while, I begin to

2144
01:11:47,780 --> 01:11:50,740
suspect that this podcast will eventually turn into

2145
01:11:50,740 --> 01:11:52,840
a media criticism podcast.

2146
01:11:53,340 --> 01:11:55,440
Every once in a while, I suspect you

2147
01:11:55,440 --> 01:11:58,320
believe that this podcast has already turned into

2148
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:00,900
such of a podcast about the media more

2149
01:12:00,900 --> 01:12:03,100
than about politics or Trump or anything else.

2150
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,860
Because if we stop and think about it,

2151
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,000
beyond the natural problems that we have had

2152
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,200
with what we all thought were laws and

2153
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:14,320
that turned out just to be traditions and

2154
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:16,900
things that men of goodwill would observe to

2155
01:12:16,900 --> 01:12:20,820
keep the form of government here largely democratic.

2156
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,800
Apart from that overarching problem that has led

2157
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:27,600
us here to the precipice of eternal damnation,

2158
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:33,840
the second biggest collapse, the second weakest guardrail,

2159
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,620
the guardrail that second most turned out to

2160
01:12:36,620 --> 01:12:39,300
be made out of oatmeal and paper mache

2161
01:12:39,300 --> 01:12:40,760
is the media.

2162
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,520
There has been another array of disasters in

2163
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:46,780
the media in the past week from CBS

2164
01:12:46,780 --> 01:12:50,320
News, or what was formerly CBS News, from

2165
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:53,320
CNN again, from a man I used to

2166
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:56,500
work for named Andy Lack at NBC, formerly

2167
01:12:56,500 --> 01:12:58,940
of NBC, though they fired him twice, and

2168
01:12:58,940 --> 01:13:01,240
from Jake effing Tapper.

2169
01:13:02,380 --> 01:13:04,060
You want to send to your Gmail?

2170
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:05,740
Yeah.

2171
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:07,920
You know, there's something very wrong with your

2172
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:08,240
email.

2173
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,920
Just as a quick aside, when the guy

2174
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:13,920
trying to help you with a newsletter email,

2175
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:17,400
his name is Mark Void Zero, when his

2176
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:19,580
email is sent back as fake, when he's

2177
01:13:19,580 --> 01:13:21,360
trying to send you information about how to

2178
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:22,240
fix the email.

2179
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:24,520
We have a basic problem.

2180
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:26,440
Yeah, I'm working on it.

2181
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:28,660
I'm aware of the issues.

2182
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:31,620
And I use the issues as plural.

2183
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:32,120
Yes.

2184
01:13:33,140 --> 01:13:34,680
All right, so that's the intro.

2185
01:13:35,020 --> 01:13:37,580
We've got Olbermann, and he is setting himself

2186
01:13:37,580 --> 01:13:39,600
up as some kind of uber dude over

2187
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:40,260
everything else.

2188
01:13:40,260 --> 01:13:42,040
Yeah, and so I do have the deconstruction

2189
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,080
that he actually does on a clip, which

2190
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,180
is the last clip, which is Olbermann 3,

2191
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:46,700
I think.

2192
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:47,640
You don't want to play 2?

2193
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:48,380
You want to play?

2194
01:13:48,740 --> 01:13:51,200
But if you want to play 2, it's

2195
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:54,100
more entertaining to play 2 and 2A.

2196
01:13:54,300 --> 01:13:55,240
There's 2 and 2A.

2197
01:13:56,060 --> 01:13:57,200
This is classic.

2198
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,540
This is an example of what kind of

2199
01:13:59,540 --> 01:14:02,860
objectivity we can expect in his deconstruction.

2200
01:14:03,100 --> 01:14:03,280
Okay.

2201
01:14:03,460 --> 01:14:06,840
So Trump is now trying to win line

2202
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,760
-level service members, the line guys, the youngsters,

2203
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:12,300
the ones Trump thinks are the suckers and

2204
01:14:12,300 --> 01:14:12,720
losers.

2205
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,300
Trying to win them with some vague idea

2206
01:14:16,300 --> 01:14:18,320
in his mind that if the commissioned officers

2207
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:20,620
and the generals and the joint chiefs are

2208
01:14:20,620 --> 01:14:22,600
told to shoot up a voting precinct in

2209
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:25,780
Chicago and they refuse, well, the raw troops

2210
01:14:25,780 --> 01:14:28,620
from Fort Bragg will do it anyway out

2211
01:14:28,620 --> 01:14:31,200
of loyalty to Trump and might even shoot

2212
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,500
the officers if Trump asks them to.

2213
01:14:33,700 --> 01:14:36,120
Like this is the Soviet revolution as it

2214
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:38,420
played out on their western front against the

2215
01:14:38,420 --> 01:14:40,200
Germans in 19-effing-17.

2216
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,820
It is absolutely- What is the effing

2217
01:14:42,820 --> 01:14:43,100
thing?

2218
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:44,400
Is this a new thing?

2219
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:48,560
Jake effing Tapper, 19-effing-17, Keith effing

2220
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:49,060
Olbermann?

2221
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:51,300
He cusses constantly, but he uses effing.

2222
01:14:51,740 --> 01:14:52,380
Oh, okay.

2223
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,920
Out on their western front against the Germans

2224
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:56,380
in 19-effing-17.

2225
01:14:56,900 --> 01:15:00,120
It is absolutely possible that the midterms could

2226
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,900
come down to the joint chiefs of staff

2227
01:15:02,900 --> 01:15:06,160
actually standing up on their hind legs like

2228
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,780
something out of the government overthrow movie Seven

2229
01:15:08,780 --> 01:15:09,700
Days in May.

2230
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:12,960
It is absolutely possible that the names of

2231
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:15,740
the people Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin were

2232
01:15:15,740 --> 01:15:18,120
actually talking to in the video they and

2233
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,360
the four house members made will become very

2234
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,560
familiar to us in October and November and

2235
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:23,860
December.

2236
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:27,540
Names like General George and Admiral Franchetti and

2237
01:15:27,540 --> 01:15:28,620
Commandant Smith.

2238
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:31,560
And yes, in the wildest of political science

2239
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:33,740
fiction scenarios, they might all have to get

2240
01:15:33,740 --> 01:15:37,640
together and lock General Kane, lock General Kane

2241
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:39,820
in a room somewhere while they make sure

2242
01:15:39,820 --> 01:15:43,820
the personnel under their command do not seize

2243
01:15:43,820 --> 01:15:47,360
ballot boxes or begin to turn us into

2244
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:51,040
a military dictatorship and do not start shooting

2245
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:52,080
civilians.

2246
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:54,940
And Trump does not pop out of a

2247
01:15:54,940 --> 01:15:57,540
bunker wearing his special new uniform with the

2248
01:15:57,540 --> 01:16:00,340
big hat personally designed and gifted to him

2249
01:16:00,340 --> 01:16:02,100
by Kim Jong-un.

2250
01:16:02,100 --> 01:16:05,620
Now, are there more people who watch Keith

2251
01:16:05,620 --> 01:16:08,580
Olbermann besides you and Darren and Larry?

2252
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:09,840
I mean, are you...

2253
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:11,160
I don't watch him at all.

2254
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:14,060
If it wasn't somebody sending me this clip

2255
01:16:14,060 --> 01:16:16,400
about him deconstructing, I wouldn't have even gotten

2256
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:16,700
these.

2257
01:16:17,020 --> 01:16:18,660
I'll just play this next one, which is

2258
01:16:18,660 --> 01:16:20,260
the end of what he just said, the

2259
01:16:20,260 --> 01:16:23,260
Trump 2A, and then an example of his

2260
01:16:23,260 --> 01:16:23,920
deconstruction.

2261
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:26,520
You won't hear from him again on this

2262
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:27,240
show for a year.

2263
01:16:27,860 --> 01:16:29,440
It cannot be said too many times.

2264
01:16:29,440 --> 01:16:31,200
There is no future for Trump and these

2265
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:32,400
scumbags around him.

2266
01:16:33,100 --> 01:16:40,820
Rubio, Vance, Stephen Miller, Nome, Hegseth, Patel, Gabbard,

2267
01:16:41,180 --> 01:16:43,540
Kushner, Trump's two idiot sons.

2268
01:16:43,860 --> 01:16:46,440
There is no future for any of them

2269
01:16:46,440 --> 01:16:48,940
if the Democrats win the House and the

2270
01:16:48,940 --> 01:16:49,160
Senate.

2271
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:51,480
I'd argue there is virtually no future for

2272
01:16:51,480 --> 01:16:52,940
any of them if the Democrats just win

2273
01:16:52,940 --> 01:16:53,420
the House.

2274
01:16:53,740 --> 01:16:55,500
For Trump, the midterms are not the future

2275
01:16:55,500 --> 01:16:59,980
of his agenda and his policies.

2276
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:03,220
For his minions, this is not the future

2277
01:17:03,220 --> 01:17:05,500
of their plans or their money.

2278
01:17:05,860 --> 01:17:08,600
For Trump, the midterms are life and death,

2279
01:17:09,380 --> 01:17:09,820
his.

2280
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:15,040
He either gains control of this country permanently

2281
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,700
through the rest of his life or virtually

2282
01:17:17,700 --> 01:17:20,700
permanently, or he will die in prison.

2283
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:21,920
This guy just had...

2284
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:25,000
All I'm hearing is diarrhea of the mouth.

2285
01:17:26,060 --> 01:17:28,960
It's just blah, blah, blah, blah, Trump, blah,

2286
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:29,120
blah.

2287
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,440
Okay, so now we get to the true

2288
01:17:31,440 --> 01:17:31,720
deconstruction.

2289
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,440
Okay, so now this next clip, which is

2290
01:17:33,440 --> 01:17:34,160
the last one.

2291
01:17:34,820 --> 01:17:38,180
This is him deconstructing some CBS stuff.

2292
01:17:38,220 --> 01:17:40,040
He hates CBS now because this is Barry

2293
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:40,420
Weiss.

2294
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:41,740
Of course.

2295
01:17:41,780 --> 01:17:45,240
So he's going to deconstruct a story and

2296
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:48,820
then show how screwed up it is.

2297
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,540
And the structure of what he does is,

2298
01:17:51,540 --> 01:17:53,960
you have to remember that he is the

2299
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:57,240
mentor of Rachel Maddow.

2300
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:00,360
Mentor or mentee?

2301
01:18:01,140 --> 01:18:01,900
He's the mentor.

2302
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:03,940
He mentored Rachel Maddow.

2303
01:18:04,540 --> 01:18:04,840
Yeah.

2304
01:18:05,100 --> 01:18:05,460
Wow.

2305
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:09,080
Yeah, she came into the network at MSNBC

2306
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:10,560
after he had established himself.

2307
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:12,300
Another person banned from the show.

2308
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,780
She came in and he taught her the

2309
01:18:15,780 --> 01:18:19,080
ropes and she became a version of him.

2310
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:22,080
And then she passed it on to Hayes,

2311
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:22,780
that other guy.

2312
01:18:23,300 --> 01:18:25,040
And it's got watered down along the way.

2313
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,220
And she was a little better at doing

2314
01:18:27,220 --> 01:18:29,240
this because she had all these expressions and

2315
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:30,360
she didn't look like a lunatic.

2316
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,320
And she had all these sad faces and

2317
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:34,040
she'd cry.

2318
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,180
But the structure of what you're about to

2319
01:18:37,180 --> 01:18:39,480
hear is exactly Rachel Maddow.

2320
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:40,900
She got it from him.

2321
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,340
And listen carefully because there's a trick in

2322
01:18:43,340 --> 01:18:43,520
here.

2323
01:18:43,580 --> 01:18:45,380
He pulls a stunt.

2324
01:18:45,480 --> 01:18:46,900
And I don't know whether he does it

2325
01:18:46,900 --> 01:18:49,820
on purpose, which I have to assume because

2326
01:18:49,820 --> 01:18:52,200
he can't be this dumb, or he does

2327
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:55,280
it because he's that dumb.

2328
01:18:55,380 --> 01:18:55,720
We'll see.

2329
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:56,200
Here we go.

2330
01:18:56,480 --> 01:18:59,960
On February 9th, Tony DeCouple already, once again,

2331
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:02,560
put a hole in whatever reputation he had

2332
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:04,320
as a newsman at some point in his

2333
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:07,880
past when he announced on their newscast, the

2334
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:11,980
CBS quote, evening quote news, ICE arrested nearly

2335
01:19:11,980 --> 01:19:14,900
400,000 people in President Trump's first year

2336
01:19:14,900 --> 01:19:15,360
in office.

2337
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:18,520
Of those nearly 60% had criminal histories,

2338
01:19:18,900 --> 01:19:22,120
meaning charges or convictions, including many for serious

2339
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:25,160
crimes such as drug trafficking and child pornography

2340
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,680
and several thousand cases involving rape or murder.

2341
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:30,820
Those are some pretty heavy statistics.

2342
01:19:31,300 --> 01:19:33,360
That's a very important story.

2343
01:19:33,700 --> 01:19:36,380
And it is to some degree surprising that

2344
01:19:36,380 --> 01:19:38,520
you're probably hearing this for the first time.

2345
01:19:38,620 --> 01:19:41,820
400,000 people arrested of those 60%

2346
01:19:41,820 --> 01:19:45,680
had criminal histories, drug trafficking, child pornography, several

2347
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:47,200
thousand rapes or murders.

2348
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:48,760
The books were cooked.

2349
01:19:49,260 --> 01:19:50,100
Trump is not right.

2350
01:19:50,260 --> 01:19:52,460
Trump is not dragging off only the violent

2351
01:19:52,460 --> 01:19:53,860
criminals, the worst of the worst.

2352
01:19:54,140 --> 01:19:56,340
The number had been rewritten.

2353
01:19:56,860 --> 01:19:59,340
The facts had been changed into what Tony

2354
01:19:59,340 --> 01:20:03,780
DeCouple read to present a fake picture, to

2355
01:20:03,780 --> 01:20:05,560
falsify reality.

2356
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,200
CBS had its own online report on its

2357
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,860
website, which has not yet been corrupted by

2358
01:20:11,860 --> 01:20:13,960
Barry Weiss and Tony DeCouple and the others.

2359
01:20:14,460 --> 01:20:17,340
The CBS story, using the same data from

2360
01:20:17,340 --> 01:20:20,820
the same sources, reads less than 14%

2361
01:20:20,820 --> 01:20:22,940
of those arrested by ICE in Trump's first

2362
01:20:22,940 --> 01:20:25,620
year back in office had violent criminal records.

2363
01:20:25,900 --> 01:20:27,040
Document shows.

2364
01:20:27,420 --> 01:20:29,580
So between the actual number, which is less

2365
01:20:29,580 --> 01:20:32,960
than 14%, and this dire picture of nearly

2366
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:37,220
60% had criminal histories, somebody changed the

2367
01:20:37,220 --> 01:20:41,400
facts from the facts to lies that DeCouple

2368
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:44,280
promptly spewed on the CBS Evening News.

2369
01:20:44,380 --> 01:20:44,700
Oh, yeah.

2370
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:46,020
No, it's obvious what he did there.

2371
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:49,040
He changed it from criminal record to violent

2372
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:50,040
criminal record.

2373
01:20:50,740 --> 01:20:51,760
Yeah, you spotted it.

2374
01:20:51,820 --> 01:20:52,720
So easy to spot.

2375
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:54,860
Rachel does this all the time, too.

2376
01:20:55,340 --> 01:20:58,900
And it's just like it was disingenuous because

2377
01:20:58,900 --> 01:21:00,720
in his original, when he talks about the

2378
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:04,300
60%, he does mention the thousands of super

2379
01:21:04,300 --> 01:21:07,060
violent crimes, which would include murder and whatever.

2380
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:09,840
And that accounts for the 14%.

2381
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:12,740
He never puts that together correctly.

2382
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:14,180
He's the liar.

2383
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:17,060
Yes, he is.

2384
01:21:19,070 --> 01:21:21,310
So that's the kind of news deconstruction, if

2385
01:21:21,310 --> 01:21:22,510
he's ever going to do it, that you're

2386
01:21:22,510 --> 01:21:23,010
going to get.

2387
01:21:23,290 --> 01:21:24,730
It's Rachel Maddow material.

2388
01:21:25,210 --> 01:21:27,710
I believe that the people who listen to

2389
01:21:27,710 --> 01:21:31,550
our show do not ever, ever even stop

2390
01:21:31,550 --> 01:21:32,890
on a video of Keith Olbermann.

2391
01:21:34,270 --> 01:21:35,610
But it was sent to you, so I

2392
01:21:35,610 --> 01:21:35,950
understand.

2393
01:21:36,150 --> 01:21:37,370
We got to use the material.

2394
01:21:39,480 --> 01:21:40,480
You're in agreement with me.

2395
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:43,260
I think some people.

2396
01:21:43,380 --> 01:21:44,280
Well, I haven't.

2397
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:47,360
You're probably right because I don't stop at

2398
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:47,860
his videos.

2399
01:21:48,480 --> 01:21:50,280
This guy sent the thing, one of our

2400
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,100
producers sent the thing and saying, hey, look

2401
01:21:52,100 --> 01:21:54,080
at he's trying to do deconstruction like you

2402
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:54,320
guys.

2403
01:21:54,460 --> 01:21:54,600
OK.

2404
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:57,740
I had his clip and then I said,

2405
01:21:57,820 --> 01:21:59,140
well, let's see what this is all about.

2406
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:00,540
It was my fault.

2407
01:22:00,620 --> 01:22:02,420
We never should have done the Trump stuff.

2408
01:22:02,500 --> 01:22:03,140
That was my fault.

2409
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:05,920
You wanted to pass it by and I

2410
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:06,420
was interested.

2411
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:06,940
It's OK.

2412
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:11,200
He did, however, bring up the, what do

2413
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:11,540
you call them?

2414
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:12,860
The two idiot sons.

2415
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:15,400
Yeah, the two idiot sons.

2416
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:17,820
And this, I'm answering a question that someone

2417
01:22:17,820 --> 01:22:18,380
sent to me.

2418
01:22:19,660 --> 01:22:23,500
There's a lot of confusion about the digital

2419
01:22:23,500 --> 01:22:28,820
euro, CBDC, Central Bank Digital Currency and stablecoin.

2420
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:32,260
And even though we've explained it ad nauseum

2421
01:22:32,260 --> 01:22:33,760
and I'm not about to do it again,

2422
01:22:33,860 --> 01:22:35,980
please go to bingit.io and look it

2423
01:22:35,980 --> 01:22:36,520
up.

2424
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:40,020
A central bank digital currency is issued.

2425
01:22:40,300 --> 01:22:42,040
That is the digital euro, if it ever

2426
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:42,480
happens.

2427
01:22:42,940 --> 01:22:44,600
And I have reasons for saying that.

2428
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:48,000
If the digital currency ever happens, a central

2429
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:53,040
bank digital currency is regulated by the central

2430
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:54,840
bank, the bank of banks.

2431
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,360
In that case, it would be the Federal

2432
01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:59,000
Reserve in the United States.

2433
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:04,020
In fact, there is specific legislation that forbids

2434
01:23:04,020 --> 01:23:06,260
the Central Bank of America, the Federal Reserve,

2435
01:23:06,380 --> 01:23:08,340
from creating a digital coin.

2436
01:23:09,500 --> 01:23:14,000
The stablecoin is interesting in that it is

2437
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:20,720
money that is backed by American debt, by

2438
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:23,640
treasury bills.

2439
01:23:24,460 --> 01:23:27,640
And the whole legislation that's going through Congress

2440
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,740
now we've already determined who can do it.

2441
01:23:31,300 --> 01:23:32,480
So you can be a bank.

2442
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:34,340
You can qualify as a bank.

2443
01:23:34,460 --> 01:23:36,300
I'm sure Elon Musk qualifies as a bank.

2444
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:40,040
The only argument now is, well, can we

2445
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:43,560
give people benefits like interest rate, interest on

2446
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:47,560
a stablecoin or tote bags or whatever.

2447
01:23:48,380 --> 01:23:53,680
So the Trump brothers do a conference for

2448
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,740
the World Liberty, I think that's what it's

2449
01:23:56,740 --> 01:23:56,980
called.

2450
01:23:57,580 --> 01:24:00,720
Excuse me, World Liberty Financial Corporation.

2451
01:24:01,740 --> 01:24:03,720
And they say, I think it's Eric who

2452
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,240
says some stuff which confirms what we've been

2453
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,460
talking about, about the stablecoin gambit.

2454
01:24:08,740 --> 01:24:11,720
But first they kind of downplay Bitcoin a

2455
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:13,620
little bit and push it off to the

2456
01:24:13,620 --> 01:24:15,540
side because stablecoin is what it's all about.

2457
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:17,140
I still think it's going to a million

2458
01:24:17,140 --> 01:24:17,480
bucks.

2459
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:19,440
It's having trouble holding 100,000.

2460
01:24:19,540 --> 01:24:20,340
It's been a rough start.

2461
01:24:20,480 --> 01:24:23,560
This was supposed to be the golden dawn

2462
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:24,580
of crypto.

2463
01:24:25,540 --> 01:24:27,560
Well, Bitcoin is low right now, but what

2464
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:29,920
we're talking here with World Liberty is stablecoins,

2465
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:30,100
right?

2466
01:24:30,180 --> 01:24:32,880
So that's treasury backed, it's dollar-based.

2467
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:34,980
How have stablecoins held up in the Bitcoin

2468
01:24:34,980 --> 01:24:35,420
sell-off?

2469
01:24:35,620 --> 01:24:36,660
They're one-to-one to U.S. Treasury.

2470
01:24:36,900 --> 01:24:38,100
So they've stayed the same.

2471
01:24:38,220 --> 01:24:39,480
It's just a simpler way to transact.

2472
01:24:39,660 --> 01:24:40,960
If you send a wire on Friday, you

2473
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:42,580
don't have to wait for Tuesday to close.

2474
01:24:42,660 --> 01:24:45,060
It happens in two seconds for two cents.

2475
01:24:45,700 --> 01:24:46,900
You can close transactions.

2476
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:49,880
The banks obviously didn't love that idea because

2477
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:51,640
they're getting the benefit of the float of

2478
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:54,240
having these things and these billions and billions

2479
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:55,760
of dollars sitting in their banks over the

2480
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:56,800
weekend collecting interest.

2481
01:24:57,580 --> 01:24:59,780
This creates efficiencies that did not exist in

2482
01:24:59,780 --> 01:25:00,260
that market before.

2483
01:25:00,260 --> 01:25:01,780
Not only does it create efficiencies, it's bringing

2484
01:25:01,780 --> 01:25:03,360
trillions of dollars into the United States, right?

2485
01:25:03,620 --> 01:25:05,060
Everybody wants to be on the U.S.

2486
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:05,280
dollar.

2487
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,480
They did a Euro-based stablecoin and only

2488
01:25:07,480 --> 01:25:10,120
half of 1% of all Europeans want

2489
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:11,420
to be on that stablecoin.

2490
01:25:11,480 --> 01:25:12,280
You know what they want to be on?

2491
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:13,620
They want it to be on the U

2492
01:25:13,620 --> 01:25:13,940
.S. dollar.

2493
01:25:14,100 --> 01:25:15,360
Guess what everybody in Asia wants to be

2494
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:15,480
on?

2495
01:25:15,780 --> 01:25:16,500
The U.S. dollar.

2496
01:25:16,620 --> 01:25:18,540
Guess what everybody in South America wants to

2497
01:25:18,540 --> 01:25:19,560
be on and really is on?

2498
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:20,740
The U.S. dollar.

2499
01:25:20,740 --> 01:25:23,060
Stablecoin is going to bring literally trillions of

2500
01:25:23,060 --> 01:25:24,220
dollars into the U.S. economy.

2501
01:25:24,440 --> 01:25:26,920
It arguably could save the dollar because guess

2502
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:27,100
what?

2503
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:28,360
There's a lot of countries around the world

2504
01:25:29,180 --> 01:25:33,060
ranked in corruption, bad governments, bad currencies, massive

2505
01:25:33,060 --> 01:25:33,640
inflation.

2506
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:35,340
These people don't stand a chance.

2507
01:25:35,440 --> 01:25:36,260
They get a paycheck.

2508
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:37,960
They don't stand a chance.

2509
01:25:38,020 --> 01:25:38,980
They may as well go and throw in

2510
01:25:38,980 --> 01:25:40,340
a fire and just burn it.

2511
01:25:40,620 --> 01:25:42,340
Whereas now all of a sudden using a

2512
01:25:42,340 --> 01:25:45,960
simple telephone, using your iPhone, all of a

2513
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:47,900
sudden you can buy U.S.-backed, one-to

2514
01:25:47,900 --> 01:25:49,480
-one as Don said, based on U.S.

2515
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,660
Treasuries, you can buy stablecoin and you can

2516
01:25:51,660 --> 01:25:53,280
actually be part of the greatest financial system

2517
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:53,700
in the world.

2518
01:25:54,180 --> 01:25:58,560
So this will change the entire optics of

2519
01:25:58,560 --> 01:25:59,420
the U.S. dollar.

2520
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:01,340
It is a way to at least extend

2521
01:26:01,340 --> 01:26:04,280
world dominance as a reserve currency for a

2522
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:04,580
while.

2523
01:26:05,220 --> 01:26:06,600
And as Eric said, guess what?

2524
01:26:06,820 --> 01:26:07,160
Guess what?

2525
01:26:07,480 --> 01:26:07,860
Guess what?

2526
01:26:07,980 --> 01:26:08,160
Yes.

2527
01:26:08,380 --> 01:26:08,960
Guess what?

2528
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:09,600
Guess what?

2529
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:11,320
All those countries do indeed.

2530
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:13,520
People would rather have the U.S. dollar.

2531
01:26:13,740 --> 01:26:14,820
Yes, absolutely.

2532
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,320
If you think that this is any different

2533
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:20,720
because it's digital from your Venmo, your PayPal,

2534
01:26:21,020 --> 01:26:23,280
your credit card, your debit card, or any

2535
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:26,660
other way you transact except in paper money,

2536
01:26:27,340 --> 01:26:28,340
you're wrong.

2537
01:26:28,740 --> 01:26:29,800
There's no difference.

2538
01:26:30,260 --> 01:26:33,840
Just as trackable, just as stoppable, just as

2539
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:34,620
interruptible.

2540
01:26:35,220 --> 01:26:36,860
I hope people now understand.

2541
01:26:37,740 --> 01:26:38,260
They don't.

2542
01:26:38,620 --> 01:26:40,380
Because they're all worried about, oh, CBDC.

2543
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,900
The CBDC is bad because the central bank

2544
01:26:43,900 --> 01:26:47,180
can then, they can devalue your money.

2545
01:26:48,540 --> 01:26:49,780
Well, they could take it.

2546
01:26:50,060 --> 01:26:51,540
Well, so...

2547
01:26:51,540 --> 01:26:51,860
Hello?

2548
01:26:52,340 --> 01:26:53,360
Well, that can happen.

2549
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:55,120
That can happen with anything.

2550
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:55,740
It happened in Cyprus.

2551
01:26:55,780 --> 01:26:57,600
I'm just saying that that's...

2552
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,140
It can't happen with the thousand bucks that

2553
01:27:00,140 --> 01:27:02,380
I have stashed in the mattress.

2554
01:27:03,020 --> 01:27:04,220
No, but that's...

2555
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,280
You're mixing apples with oranges and throwing in

2556
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:07,840
some bananas.

2557
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:11,700
The point is, digital money is digital money

2558
01:27:11,700 --> 01:27:14,600
and you're controlled unless you literally are using

2559
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:16,940
Bitcoin and people are accepting your Bitcoin as

2560
01:27:16,940 --> 01:27:17,200
payment.

2561
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:17,880
Oh, this is...

2562
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:19,080
No, no, no, no, no, no.

2563
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:20,160
I'm not saying it for that.

2564
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:24,760
The point is, the difference between a stable

2565
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:28,620
coin and a central bank digital currency is

2566
01:27:28,620 --> 01:27:31,900
the central bank has way more power to

2567
01:27:31,900 --> 01:27:34,660
devalue your money, to chop off money, to

2568
01:27:34,660 --> 01:27:36,800
do things that are outside of the banking

2569
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:37,320
system.

2570
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:39,740
And that's what you don't want.

2571
01:27:39,820 --> 01:27:41,820
And the digital euro will be fantastic.

2572
01:27:41,980 --> 01:27:42,700
I can't wait.

2573
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:47,400
Unfortunately, as it turns out, let me look

2574
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:51,420
for it as it turns out, Fifi Lagarde

2575
01:27:51,420 --> 01:27:54,480
may not see the actual introduction of the

2576
01:27:54,480 --> 01:27:55,380
digital euro.

2577
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:56,220
On to business now.

2578
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:57,600
Jean-Pierre Pellegrain is with us.

2579
01:27:57,660 --> 01:27:58,920
He's starting with a shock report.

2580
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:00,700
This is coming out from the Financial Times.

2581
01:28:00,820 --> 01:28:03,140
It's regarding movements at the European Central Bank.

2582
01:28:03,440 --> 01:28:05,900
The British newspaper is saying that the president

2583
01:28:05,900 --> 01:28:08,820
of the ECB, Christine Lagarde, is expected to

2584
01:28:08,820 --> 01:28:11,840
leave her position before the end of her

2585
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,880
eight-year term in October 2027, citing a

2586
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:16,320
source familiar with her thinking.

2587
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:19,200
Lagarde is reportedly looking to leave before the

2588
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:21,780
French presidential election, which will take place in

2589
01:28:21,780 --> 01:28:22,660
April next year.

2590
01:28:22,860 --> 01:28:25,900
This would allow French President Emmanuel Macron and

2591
01:28:25,900 --> 01:28:29,100
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to find a new

2592
01:28:29,100 --> 01:28:32,200
top central banker for the bloc and thus

2593
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,560
avoiding the possibility of a far-right national

2594
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,760
rally president from having a say in the

2595
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:40,440
decision, whether that person is Marine Le Pen

2596
01:28:40,440 --> 01:28:41,780
or Jordan Bardella.

2597
01:28:42,180 --> 01:28:44,700
Both of them are euro-skeptics, of course.

2598
01:28:44,700 --> 01:28:48,080
The European Central Bank has since responded to

2599
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:51,560
that report saying Christine Lagarde is focused on

2600
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:54,220
her job and has not taken any decision

2601
01:28:54,220 --> 01:28:56,480
regarding the end of her term.

2602
01:28:56,940 --> 01:28:59,420
This is a bad omen.

2603
01:29:01,580 --> 01:29:04,700
Why would Lagarde want to leave before the

2604
01:29:04,700 --> 01:29:05,420
end of her term?

2605
01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:06,780
She's a healthy woman.

2606
01:29:07,500 --> 01:29:08,820
She's got everything together.

2607
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:10,060
She loves power.

2608
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,060
I think she knows it's all gonna come

2609
01:29:13,060 --> 01:29:13,880
tumbling down.

2610
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:15,700
This has nothing to do with getting out

2611
01:29:15,700 --> 01:29:17,680
before— Oh, you think that— And she's worried

2612
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:18,740
about getting blamed.

2613
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:19,840
Of course.

2614
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:24,000
Of course that she'll be the number one

2615
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:24,700
to get blamed.

2616
01:29:26,460 --> 01:29:28,180
Nah, it's like, wow.

2617
01:29:29,620 --> 01:29:31,800
I think it's bigger news than people may

2618
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:33,220
realize that she's getting out.

2619
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:34,820
I don't want to be here when it

2620
01:29:34,820 --> 01:29:35,540
all collapses.

2621
01:29:36,340 --> 01:29:38,220
Let some other doofus take care of it.

2622
01:29:39,340 --> 01:29:40,940
Well, the potential's there.

2623
01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:46,960
Talk about the tariff decision from the Supreme

2624
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:47,640
Court for a moment.

2625
01:29:47,780 --> 01:29:49,160
I have two clips that I want to

2626
01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:49,460
play.

2627
01:29:50,380 --> 01:29:51,180
You've got two clips.

2628
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:51,960
I'm sure you do.

2629
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:52,940
Mine first.

2630
01:29:53,260 --> 01:29:55,820
Wait, where do your— Where is your— Where—

2631
01:29:55,820 --> 01:29:57,040
I don't get it.

2632
01:29:57,620 --> 01:29:59,480
Where do yours come from?

2633
01:29:59,580 --> 01:30:02,220
From this morning, from CBS, Face the Nation.

2634
01:30:02,220 --> 01:30:02,980
CBS, okay.

2635
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:03,600
Face the Nation.

2636
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:07,160
Ambassador Jameson Greer, who is the United States

2637
01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:08,400
Trade Representative.

2638
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:10,920
The Supreme Court ruling, that vote was 6

2639
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:11,020
-0.

2640
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,740
The president, as you know, you were there,

2641
01:30:15,060 --> 01:30:15,980
came out publicly.

2642
01:30:16,460 --> 01:30:18,660
And he railed against some of those justices

2643
01:30:18,660 --> 01:30:19,260
by name.

2644
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:19,960
Railed!

2645
01:30:20,020 --> 01:30:21,440
He said this on Friday.

2646
01:30:21,660 --> 01:30:22,080
Take a listen.

2647
01:30:22,700 --> 01:30:25,500
They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution.

2648
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:28,660
It's my opinion that the court has been

2649
01:30:28,660 --> 01:30:32,240
swayed by foreign interests and a political movement

2650
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:35,220
that is far smaller than people would ever

2651
01:30:35,220 --> 01:30:35,600
think.

2652
01:30:36,780 --> 01:30:38,840
That's a pretty huge allegation.

2653
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:42,460
What foreign interest has corrupted the court, according

2654
01:30:42,460 --> 01:30:43,020
to the president?

2655
01:30:43,700 --> 01:30:46,060
Well, I won't characterize his words too much.

2656
01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:46,900
He speaks for himself.

2657
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:47,700
What I will say— Do you know what

2658
01:30:47,700 --> 01:30:48,360
he's talking about?

2659
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:53,840
So many of the interests that were at

2660
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:55,500
issue in this case were really about foreign

2661
01:30:55,500 --> 01:30:59,400
importers or foreign companies that have interests here

2662
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:01,160
in the U.S. who are suing the

2663
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:03,340
president and suing the administration.

2664
01:31:03,740 --> 01:31:07,400
It's foreign companies that are benefiting from the

2665
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:08,440
tariffs being struck down.

2666
01:31:08,440 --> 01:31:10,760
This is why, when we impose tariffs, foreign

2667
01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:12,760
countries don't like it.

2668
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:15,180
And foreign companies don't like it because they're

2669
01:31:15,180 --> 01:31:16,740
the ones that don't want to have the

2670
01:31:16,740 --> 01:31:17,500
tariffs in place.

2671
01:31:17,620 --> 01:31:19,160
They're the ones that are suing.

2672
01:31:19,300 --> 01:31:21,120
They're the ones that are trying to get

2673
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:23,460
together coalitions and groups to oppose what the

2674
01:31:23,460 --> 01:31:24,140
president is doing.

2675
01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:26,080
The president's fighting for American workers.

2676
01:31:26,540 --> 01:31:28,260
He's trying to impose a trade policy that

2677
01:31:28,260 --> 01:31:30,120
has a through line through the first Trump

2678
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:32,120
administration, Biden and Trump, with tariffs.

2679
01:31:32,260 --> 01:31:34,160
But it's foreign countries and companies that are

2680
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:35,960
suing that want these things to go away.

2681
01:31:36,660 --> 01:31:40,680
So the trade representative or ambassador here is

2682
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:42,240
not really saying what this is.

2683
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:44,560
I believe what President Trump is talking about

2684
01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:50,780
is globalists and specifically North Sea Nexus in

2685
01:31:50,780 --> 01:31:55,220
the embodiment of the Cato Institute, who wrote

2686
01:31:55,220 --> 01:31:59,240
quite a detailed amicus brief to the Supreme

2687
01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:00,760
Court about this decision.

2688
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:03,420
And I spent some time with Rob, the

2689
01:32:03,420 --> 01:32:04,460
constitutional lawyer.

2690
01:32:04,460 --> 01:32:06,220
It's 170 pages.

2691
01:32:06,940 --> 01:32:09,560
A lot of this was pretty much written

2692
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:10,840
by the Cato Institute.

2693
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:12,220
It's all their language.

2694
01:32:12,480 --> 01:32:13,720
It's the globalists.

2695
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:14,660
They don't want this.

2696
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:16,920
They don't want America to succeed on its

2697
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:17,280
own.

2698
01:32:17,660 --> 01:32:21,360
They want the same manufacturers somewhere else.

2699
01:32:21,440 --> 01:32:23,560
Just have the stupid Americans be the customers.

2700
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:27,040
And here, Jameson kind of lets in a

2701
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:29,060
little bit on who the president was really

2702
01:32:29,060 --> 01:32:29,800
talking about.

2703
01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:31,620
But the president wasn't talking about them.

2704
01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:33,300
The president was talking about the Supreme Court

2705
01:32:33,300 --> 01:32:34,080
justices.

2706
01:32:34,460 --> 01:32:37,160
Who he said are unpatriotic and disloyal and

2707
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:39,040
swayed by foreign interests.

2708
01:32:39,220 --> 01:32:41,760
Do you have any evidence to back up

2709
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:44,720
that allegation about the Supreme Court justices who,

2710
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:46,840
as you know, face security threats on a

2711
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:47,520
daily basis?

2712
01:32:48,540 --> 01:32:51,880
So when the foreign interests sue, they appear

2713
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:52,780
before the courts.

2714
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:56,160
They're literally arguing before the courts that they

2715
01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:57,440
should have a different outcome.

2716
01:32:58,220 --> 01:33:01,760
So it's quite obvious that foreign interests are

2717
01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:02,220
involved.

2718
01:33:02,380 --> 01:33:03,660
They're helping bring lawsuits.

2719
01:33:03,660 --> 01:33:05,380
They're arguing before the court.

2720
01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:09,780
And these justices, six of them, agree with

2721
01:33:09,780 --> 01:33:12,180
what a lot of these foreign interests want,

2722
01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:14,040
which is take down the tariffs, take down

2723
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:15,500
the barriers, and let us import as much

2724
01:33:15,500 --> 01:33:16,740
cheap crap as we want to the United

2725
01:33:16,740 --> 01:33:18,460
States at the expense of American workers.

2726
01:33:19,220 --> 01:33:21,640
But do you need to clarify or feel

2727
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:25,100
compelled in any way to clarify in regard

2728
01:33:25,100 --> 01:33:28,020
to the allegations against the justices themselves?

2729
01:33:28,940 --> 01:33:30,920
I'm not speaking for the president.

2730
01:33:31,480 --> 01:33:33,140
What I'm telling you is that when the

2731
01:33:33,140 --> 01:33:36,180
president talks about foreign influences, at a minimum,

2732
01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:38,560
what we see is that foreign companies are

2733
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:41,560
involved in the coalitions, the PR effort, they're

2734
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:43,600
involved in the cases, and they don't want

2735
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:44,000
these tariffs.

2736
01:33:44,060 --> 01:33:44,780
It's not a secret.

2737
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:48,240
I mean, for months, these foreign countries and

2738
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:50,340
companies and people in the United States who

2739
01:33:50,340 --> 01:33:52,820
benefit from their commercial relations with them, they

2740
01:33:52,820 --> 01:33:54,100
want these tariffs to be gone.

2741
01:33:54,440 --> 01:33:56,880
That should be the signal for us that

2742
01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:58,040
we're doing the right thing, that we're over

2743
01:33:58,040 --> 01:33:58,460
the target.

2744
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:00,620
When the foreign countries and companies are literally

2745
01:34:00,620 --> 01:34:03,620
arguing in court, but through their advocates to

2746
01:34:03,620 --> 01:34:05,100
take it down, we know they have influence.

2747
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:08,160
Well, 1,500 businesses, including Costco, have filed

2748
01:34:08,160 --> 01:34:11,000
lawsuits to get repaid for these tariffs.

2749
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,120
Yeah, they can wait for a long time

2750
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:13,820
for that to happen.

2751
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:14,800
Yeah, that's for sure.

2752
01:34:14,980 --> 01:34:15,960
That's not gonna happen.

2753
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:17,580
That's not gonna happen.

2754
01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:20,800
So I think that's what the president meant.

2755
01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:23,100
I mean, the Cato Institute was, I think

2756
01:34:23,100 --> 01:34:25,320
that's named after the Cato letters, if I'm

2757
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:33,280
not mistaken, between 18th century British essays, between

2758
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:35,360
John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon.

2759
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:37,520
Oh, I know, it is a kind of

2760
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:40,380
an outlier of conservative think tanks.

2761
01:34:41,700 --> 01:34:44,200
Conservative or liberal globalists?

2762
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:47,340
They're conservative on the surface.

2763
01:34:47,480 --> 01:34:50,060
On the surface, yeah, that makes sense.

2764
01:34:50,080 --> 01:34:52,820
On the surface, they're extremely conservative, but it

2765
01:34:52,820 --> 01:34:55,940
wouldn't surprise me, and I think that was

2766
01:34:55,940 --> 01:34:56,040
a good point.

2767
01:34:56,040 --> 01:34:57,320
It's a good catch that you talked this

2768
01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:02,500
over with R, with the show's constitutional guy.

2769
01:35:02,740 --> 01:35:04,860
Yeah, I mean, I can tell you more

2770
01:35:04,860 --> 01:35:06,460
about what we discussed, but let's see what

2771
01:35:06,460 --> 01:35:07,400
your clips are first.

2772
01:35:08,100 --> 01:35:09,960
Well, my clips are a little different because

2773
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:19,220
they don't harp the way Nora, that's not

2774
01:35:19,220 --> 01:35:20,660
Nora, who is that?

2775
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:22,840
That's Margaret.

2776
01:35:23,820 --> 01:35:25,000
Margaret, that's right, Margaret.

2777
01:35:25,740 --> 01:35:27,700
Let's, and the problem is I have two

2778
01:35:27,700 --> 01:35:29,340
clips that should be the same, might be

2779
01:35:29,340 --> 01:35:31,380
the same clip, but one is 41 seconds,

2780
01:35:31,480 --> 01:35:32,060
one is 59.

2781
01:35:32,260 --> 01:35:33,000
These are the openers.

2782
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:37,720
It's the second clip, tariffs two, that's interesting

2783
01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:39,620
to me because it shows you what NPR

2784
01:35:39,620 --> 01:35:40,260
is coming from.

2785
01:35:40,260 --> 01:35:42,360
One is 44, one is 59.

2786
01:35:43,780 --> 01:35:45,740
Really, I got 41 on my list.

2787
01:35:45,860 --> 01:35:46,520
Oh, wait, hold on.

2788
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:51,400
I have, wait, I have tariffs, Supreme Court,

2789
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:56,020
44, Supreme Court NPR, 59, tariffs.

2790
01:35:56,140 --> 01:35:57,700
I wonder why it grew three seconds.

2791
01:35:58,180 --> 01:36:00,760
Tariffs to GOTG NPR.

2792
01:36:01,380 --> 01:36:02,800
Yeah, that should be boots on the ground.

2793
01:36:05,140 --> 01:36:07,540
It's goots on the, goats on the ground,

2794
01:36:07,660 --> 01:36:08,000
everybody.

2795
01:36:08,220 --> 01:36:09,480
We got goats on the ground.

2796
01:36:10,060 --> 01:36:11,680
Well, let's start with the long, let's just

2797
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,260
try the long one, the 59 second one.

2798
01:36:14,440 --> 01:36:15,620
The 59 second one.

2799
01:36:15,620 --> 01:36:17,920
President Trump says he's increasing his new temporary

2800
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:20,260
global tariffs from 10%.

2801
01:36:20,260 --> 01:36:22,500
He announced yesterday to 15%.

2802
01:36:23,140 --> 01:36:26,020
This in response to yesterday's Supreme Court ruling

2803
01:36:26,020 --> 01:36:29,140
that found he overstepped his authority on double

2804
01:36:29,140 --> 01:36:31,600
dish taxes on virtually all imports into the

2805
01:36:31,600 --> 01:36:32,100
US.

2806
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:34,320
NPR's Alina Seljuk has more.

2807
01:36:34,820 --> 01:36:36,760
President Trump made the latest announcement in a

2808
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:39,180
post on social media, once again deriding the

2809
01:36:39,180 --> 01:36:42,420
Supreme Court ruling, saying it was, quote, ridiculous,

2810
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:45,300
poorly written and extraordinarily anti-American.

2811
01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:47,600
The high court had ruled with a notable

2812
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:50,380
majority of six to three, including two justices

2813
01:36:50,380 --> 01:36:51,560
appointed by Trump.

2814
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:54,000
And they had struck down Trump's use of

2815
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,540
an emergency statute for his tariffs, saying the

2816
01:36:56,540 --> 01:36:58,580
president could not rely on it to impose

2817
01:36:58,580 --> 01:37:01,580
taxes without specific authorization from Congress.

2818
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:04,940
Trump quickly used another presidential authority to set

2819
01:37:04,940 --> 01:37:07,520
a new universal tariff, which is limited to

2820
01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:10,180
150 days, unless extended by lawmakers.

2821
01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:12,440
And he has vowed to find a way

2822
01:37:12,440 --> 01:37:13,160
to set more.

2823
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:15,220
Alina Seljuk, NPR News, Washington.

2824
01:37:15,220 --> 01:37:19,400
Yeah, the 150 day limit on section 122

2825
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:23,920
is interesting, because yes, the president can't just

2826
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:27,760
reset the clock, but there is no language

2827
01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:31,080
that says that he can't do another one.

2828
01:37:31,580 --> 01:37:33,040
Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I

2829
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:33,180
heard that.

2830
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:34,380
14% now.

2831
01:37:34,700 --> 01:37:37,080
It's all about if there's a trade or

2832
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:41,500
an imbalance of payments, which clearly we have.

2833
01:37:42,020 --> 01:37:42,920
Oh yeah, big time.

2834
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:46,140
Then he can just keep invoking that, just

2835
01:37:46,140 --> 01:37:47,300
changing it a little bit.

2836
01:37:48,180 --> 01:37:50,940
He can also completely block all trade with

2837
01:37:50,940 --> 01:37:53,540
any country or for any product, just outright.

2838
01:37:54,580 --> 01:37:57,140
So this whole thing was, I'd say, I

2839
01:37:57,140 --> 01:37:59,580
think the words Rob, the constitutional lawyer, use

2840
01:37:59,580 --> 01:38:00,460
are performative.

2841
01:38:01,780 --> 01:38:03,400
And that's what's disappointing.

2842
01:38:03,500 --> 01:38:05,600
The Supreme Court's just, you know, whatever they

2843
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:06,200
were doing.

2844
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:08,860
It's like, eh, you can't use eh.

2845
01:38:09,380 --> 01:38:11,100
They didn't want to deal with it, I

2846
01:38:11,100 --> 01:38:11,460
think.

2847
01:38:11,460 --> 01:38:12,840
They should have not dealt with it then.

2848
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:14,400
The fact that they just stole the report

2849
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:16,320
from the Cato Institute is pretty pathetic.

2850
01:38:16,440 --> 01:38:17,440
It's very pathetic.

2851
01:38:17,880 --> 01:38:19,580
So this report, they go on and on

2852
01:38:19,580 --> 01:38:19,860
and on.

2853
01:38:19,940 --> 01:38:23,340
Then they bring in this woman who I

2854
01:38:23,340 --> 01:38:25,280
have to say, here's a woman that works

2855
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:28,340
for NPR that is living the life of

2856
01:38:28,340 --> 01:38:28,660
Riley.

2857
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:30,640
I don't know what the NPR budget must

2858
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:32,480
be in the hundreds of millions, obviously.

2859
01:38:33,140 --> 01:38:35,140
And this woman, she's in the Paris Bureau

2860
01:38:35,140 --> 01:38:37,120
and she's going to do boots on the

2861
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:37,480
ground.

2862
01:38:37,900 --> 01:38:39,580
But you never imagine, you know, in other

2863
01:38:39,580 --> 01:38:41,640
words, ask the Europeans what they think of

2864
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:42,180
all this.

2865
01:38:42,780 --> 01:38:45,640
And you can't imagine where she decides to

2866
01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:46,200
go.

2867
01:38:46,820 --> 01:38:47,440
Wait a minute.

2868
01:38:48,140 --> 01:38:50,180
Physically or in her- Physically.

2869
01:38:50,980 --> 01:38:51,560
Hold on a second.

2870
01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:55,660
So she's doing, well, I would say she

2871
01:38:55,660 --> 01:38:56,600
had to go to China.

2872
01:38:57,580 --> 01:38:59,420
No, no, she's in the Paris.

2873
01:38:59,840 --> 01:39:01,840
If you're in the Paris Bureau and you

2874
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:04,960
want to travel around, you, yes, well, actually,

2875
01:39:05,120 --> 01:39:06,300
yes, you should go to China.

2876
01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:07,880
Or you go to the Champaign region.

2877
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:09,460
Well, you're close.

2878
01:39:09,740 --> 01:39:12,160
EU and the U.S. did more than

2879
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:15,300
one and a half trillion dollars in trading

2880
01:39:15,300 --> 01:39:16,940
goods and services in 2024.

2881
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:19,280
They're each other's largest trading partners.

2882
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:20,340
So there's a lot at stake.

2883
01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:22,920
Last summer, before the tariffs were put into

2884
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:25,400
effect, the 15%, I went into Burgundy and

2885
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:27,300
I spoke with wine growers and they were

2886
01:39:27,300 --> 01:39:29,080
so nervous about what would happen.

2887
01:39:29,500 --> 01:39:30,920
And one of the vineyards I visited was

2888
01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:32,100
Michael Shopsville.

2889
01:39:32,620 --> 01:39:35,420
What is in Burgundy besides dynamite wine?

2890
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:36,260
What's in Burgundy?

2891
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:38,040
Dynamite wine.

2892
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:41,240
She went to Burgundy to talk about tariffs

2893
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:43,940
and do a lot of wine tasting because

2894
01:39:43,940 --> 01:39:45,540
some of that wine you can taste if

2895
01:39:45,540 --> 01:39:48,340
you go there, but you can't afford to

2896
01:39:48,340 --> 01:39:49,500
affect the 15%.

2897
01:39:49,500 --> 01:39:51,220
I went into Burgundy and I spoke with

2898
01:39:51,220 --> 01:39:53,840
wine growers and they were so nervous about

2899
01:39:53,840 --> 01:39:54,520
what would happen.

2900
01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:56,300
And one of the vineyards I visited was

2901
01:39:56,300 --> 01:39:57,800
Michael Shops vineyard.

2902
01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:00,180
He has, he's a French winemaker and a

2903
01:40:00,180 --> 01:40:02,980
Virginia winemaker who exports and imports in both

2904
01:40:02,980 --> 01:40:03,380
directions.

2905
01:40:03,380 --> 01:40:05,500
So he really sees how it's affecting the

2906
01:40:05,500 --> 01:40:05,900
whole thing.

2907
01:40:05,900 --> 01:40:07,060
And I spoke with him today.

2908
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:09,000
It's been crazy.

2909
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:10,960
The up and downs on both sides of

2910
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:11,340
the Atlantic.

2911
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:13,720
On top of that, the fact that the

2912
01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:16,160
dollar has tumbled about 12% in the

2913
01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:16,560
past year.

2914
01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:17,720
So you have that on top of the

2915
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:19,640
tariffs and it's a big hit.

2916
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:21,900
Yeah, so he hailed the Supreme Court's decision,

2917
01:40:22,060 --> 01:40:23,160
but it didn't last long.

2918
01:40:23,540 --> 01:40:26,480
And he said most French winemakers, including himself,

2919
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:29,540
are finding and have found new markets across

2920
01:40:29,540 --> 01:40:30,620
Europe and Asia.

2921
01:40:30,740 --> 01:40:32,280
He says it's just too hard to do

2922
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:33,260
business with the US.

2923
01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:36,120
Does the EU have any recourse to fight

2924
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:36,460
back?

2925
01:40:36,460 --> 01:40:37,320
Yeah, they do.

2926
01:40:37,440 --> 01:40:39,340
I mean, the US and the EU negotiated

2927
01:40:39,340 --> 01:40:41,120
a trade deal last summer, but it's actually

2928
01:40:41,120 --> 01:40:43,080
not been ratified by the European Parliament.

2929
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:44,840
And they could hold that back.

2930
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:46,220
And there are now calls for them to

2931
01:40:46,220 --> 01:40:46,660
do so.

2932
01:40:46,940 --> 01:40:50,320
And they've already identified $93 billion worth of

2933
01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:52,700
US goods that they could slap tariffs on.

2934
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:54,420
And there's something else they could use.

2935
01:40:54,480 --> 01:40:56,620
It's a mechanism that's being referred to as

2936
01:40:56,620 --> 01:40:59,900
the trade bazooka, which could enact huge restrictions

2937
01:40:59,900 --> 01:41:02,280
on US companies having access to the EU

2938
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:04,920
market, which is a market of 450 million

2939
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:05,500
consumers.

2940
01:41:05,500 --> 01:41:06,920
It's massive and lucrative.

2941
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:08,320
So that could be a real threat.

2942
01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:11,620
That's NPR's Paris correspondent, Eleanor Beardsley.

2943
01:41:11,780 --> 01:41:13,220
Thank you so much for your reporting.

2944
01:41:13,460 --> 01:41:14,300
You're welcome.

2945
01:41:14,820 --> 01:41:16,800
And I'll tell you that my buddy here

2946
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:24,960
who does CNC machining for military parts, they

2947
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:28,540
are so happy because now they're using American

2948
01:41:28,540 --> 01:41:29,040
steel.

2949
01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:30,500
He says it's more expensive.

2950
01:41:30,660 --> 01:41:33,140
I think we talked about this before, but

2951
01:41:33,140 --> 01:41:35,120
he doesn't have to throw 40% away.

2952
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,660
Of Chinese steel because it's junk.

2953
01:41:37,860 --> 01:41:38,820
It's junk.

2954
01:41:39,220 --> 01:41:40,960
And he says, orders are up.

2955
01:41:41,440 --> 01:41:43,340
He says, we can barely keep up with

2956
01:41:43,340 --> 01:41:43,940
the business.

2957
01:41:44,500 --> 01:41:46,060
Yeah, it's junk.

2958
01:41:46,460 --> 01:41:50,740
The LED light bulbs from China are junk.

2959
01:41:50,840 --> 01:41:53,180
Everything from China is pretty much junk.

2960
01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:55,920
And I understand we have a lot of

2961
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:59,200
people probably who listened to the show who

2962
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:03,460
set up businesses reselling junk from China in

2963
01:42:03,460 --> 01:42:04,740
marketing, online.

2964
01:42:05,500 --> 01:42:08,640
I understand it sucks that you have to

2965
01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:09,540
eat these tariffs.

2966
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:12,500
But, you know, and they say, well, you

2967
01:42:12,500 --> 01:42:13,540
can't get that in America.

2968
01:42:13,660 --> 01:42:16,940
Well, there's your opportunity right there.

2969
01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:17,760
Make it better.

2970
01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:20,540
I love the guys in North Carolina who

2971
01:42:20,540 --> 01:42:23,720
are making sneakers and supposedly no agenda boots.

2972
01:42:24,460 --> 01:42:28,020
Now, this is the whole plan.

2973
01:42:28,300 --> 01:42:31,060
If you care about your kids, you'll eat

2974
01:42:31,060 --> 01:42:32,740
a little bit of pain or a lot

2975
01:42:32,740 --> 01:42:33,260
of pain.

2976
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:36,800
You will do it.

2977
01:42:37,260 --> 01:42:39,260
I'm going to give the president until 2027.

2978
01:42:39,500 --> 01:42:41,520
And if it hasn't improved by then, well,

2979
01:42:41,540 --> 01:42:43,400
then a great idea didn't work.

2980
01:42:43,940 --> 01:42:45,140
I like the idea.

2981
01:42:45,420 --> 01:42:46,220
I really do.

2982
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:48,920
Yeah, we'll see how it goes.

2983
01:42:49,100 --> 01:42:50,720
But I mean, I like the idea, too.

2984
01:42:50,760 --> 01:42:51,480
I'm not going to argue.

2985
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:53,120
Are you skeptical that he can pull it

2986
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:53,360
off?

2987
01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:56,060
No, I'm skeptical that the economy is not

2988
01:42:56,060 --> 01:42:57,940
going to have issues after the midterms.

2989
01:42:57,940 --> 01:43:02,080
And it will result in the inability to

2990
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:03,960
pull it off because it just won't be.

2991
01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:06,800
It's just the conditions won't be right.

2992
01:43:07,220 --> 01:43:08,040
Everybody will be broke.

2993
01:43:10,150 --> 01:43:11,610
Well, not that never happens.

2994
01:43:12,170 --> 01:43:15,390
But if that ever happened, you'd be people

2995
01:43:15,390 --> 01:43:16,510
who listen to our show.

2996
01:43:16,770 --> 01:43:17,650
It didn't happen in the 30s.

2997
01:43:17,690 --> 01:43:18,970
It didn't happen in the 70s.

2998
01:43:19,090 --> 01:43:20,250
This never happened.

2999
01:43:20,330 --> 01:43:22,150
People who listen to our show will be

3000
01:43:22,150 --> 01:43:23,850
broke and they will claim brokenness.

3001
01:43:25,050 --> 01:43:26,650
That is always happening.

3002
01:43:28,410 --> 01:43:29,370
It does.

3003
01:43:29,470 --> 01:43:30,190
It does happen.

3004
01:43:30,710 --> 01:43:32,710
If you're ready to go to a break,

3005
01:43:32,710 --> 01:43:34,310
I do have one interesting clip.

3006
01:43:35,110 --> 01:43:36,150
Oh, finally.

3007
01:43:36,410 --> 01:43:37,770
Finally, we're getting an interesting.

3008
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:38,930
Finally, an interesting clip.

3009
01:43:39,070 --> 01:43:39,930
I know, I know, I know.

3010
01:43:41,070 --> 01:43:45,650
So this is the most disgusting thing that's

3011
01:43:45,650 --> 01:43:47,610
been floating around for a while.

3012
01:43:47,710 --> 01:43:49,690
This is the underwear hack.

3013
01:43:50,510 --> 01:43:51,870
It was kind of noisy.

3014
01:43:52,130 --> 01:43:54,270
I ran through the system.

3015
01:43:54,270 --> 01:43:59,470
This is some woman giving us a life

3016
01:43:59,470 --> 01:44:01,970
hack, a life hack when you travel a

3017
01:44:01,970 --> 01:44:02,230
lot.

3018
01:44:02,590 --> 01:44:03,710
Okay, here we go.

3019
01:44:03,850 --> 01:44:05,130
I'm about to show you guys one of

3020
01:44:05,130 --> 01:44:05,890
the coolest tricks ever.

3021
01:44:06,790 --> 01:44:08,690
So you're traveling and you didn't pack enough

3022
01:44:08,690 --> 01:44:10,930
underwear and you're like, oh my gosh, what

3023
01:44:10,930 --> 01:44:11,650
am I going to wear tomorrow?

3024
01:44:13,230 --> 01:44:15,050
Every room has like a coffee pot thing

3025
01:44:15,050 --> 01:44:15,390
in it.

3026
01:44:15,970 --> 01:44:16,290
Every room.

3027
01:44:16,470 --> 01:44:18,930
Even the other coffee makers where like brews

3028
01:44:18,930 --> 01:44:19,190
serve.

3029
01:44:19,650 --> 01:44:21,750
All you have to do, put your underwear

3030
01:44:22,210 --> 01:44:23,690
where you would put the coffee grounds.

3031
01:44:24,270 --> 01:44:24,930
You close it.

3032
01:44:25,250 --> 01:44:28,550
You press brew and it puts scorching hot

3033
01:44:28,550 --> 01:44:29,170
water through it.

3034
01:44:29,510 --> 01:44:31,590
You guys, then the hairdryer in the bathroom,

3035
01:44:32,110 --> 01:44:33,870
you blow dry those bad boys and you

3036
01:44:33,870 --> 01:44:37,390
got yourself a cleaner pair of underwear to

3037
01:44:37,390 --> 01:44:37,590
wear.

3038
01:44:37,950 --> 01:44:39,870
I did not realize how many people already

3039
01:44:39,870 --> 01:44:40,950
knew this hack.

3040
01:44:41,310 --> 01:44:43,590
I learned it years ago from a friend

3041
01:44:43,590 --> 01:44:46,310
that was a flight attendant and it's brilliant.

3042
01:44:47,490 --> 01:44:48,810
So this is a hack.

3043
01:44:48,910 --> 01:44:49,570
This is good.

3044
01:44:50,630 --> 01:44:51,790
This is no good.

3045
01:44:52,010 --> 01:44:53,510
So you take your underwear and you stick

3046
01:44:53,510 --> 01:44:54,830
it in the coffee maker.

3047
01:44:55,070 --> 01:44:55,470
Yes.

3048
01:44:55,590 --> 01:44:57,670
Your dirty underwear and then you run a

3049
01:44:57,670 --> 01:44:59,510
brew through it and then you just dump

3050
01:44:59,510 --> 01:45:00,850
the water out and then you go dry

3051
01:45:00,850 --> 01:45:01,810
off the underwear.

3052
01:45:01,990 --> 01:45:04,570
So in other words, the likelihood, if the

3053
01:45:04,570 --> 01:45:06,710
people, unless this is a hoax, which I

3054
01:45:06,710 --> 01:45:07,110
believe it could be.

3055
01:45:07,110 --> 01:45:08,550
Well, no, no, no, no.

3056
01:45:08,610 --> 01:45:11,550
Because I just spent four days in the

3057
01:45:11,550 --> 01:45:13,690
biodome in Nashville.

3058
01:45:14,290 --> 01:45:15,810
It's the Gaylord Hotel where you never get

3059
01:45:15,810 --> 01:45:16,070
out.

3060
01:45:16,150 --> 01:45:18,030
It's kind of like a casino and they

3061
01:45:18,030 --> 01:45:21,990
have these exact brew machines and it exists

3062
01:45:21,990 --> 01:45:24,750
of a little pouch that's in a plastic

3063
01:45:24,750 --> 01:45:27,290
slide that you slide into the coffee maker.

3064
01:45:28,010 --> 01:45:30,670
Yeah, that works if you have panties.

3065
01:45:31,990 --> 01:45:33,570
But men's underwear.

3066
01:45:34,270 --> 01:45:35,690
Well, I don't think it's for men, but

3067
01:45:35,690 --> 01:45:38,570
even I don't care who puts them in.

3068
01:45:39,690 --> 01:45:41,950
Panties or boxer shorts.

3069
01:45:41,950 --> 01:45:42,730
I don't care.

3070
01:45:42,950 --> 01:45:44,490
I don't want to be drinking my coffee,

3071
01:45:44,690 --> 01:45:46,530
making brews of coffee afterwards.

3072
01:45:46,870 --> 01:45:48,430
You know, the hack is you get clean

3073
01:45:48,430 --> 01:45:50,750
underwear and a tasty drink.

3074
01:45:50,930 --> 01:45:52,290
And with that, I want to thank you

3075
01:45:52,290 --> 01:45:53,530
for your courage to say in the morning

3076
01:45:53,530 --> 01:45:54,590
to you, the man who put the C

3077
01:45:54,590 --> 01:45:55,690
in the CBDC.

3078
01:45:55,770 --> 01:45:58,430
In the morning to you, Mr. John C.

3079
01:45:59,930 --> 01:46:00,250
DeMora.

3080
01:46:16,810 --> 01:46:17,890
Oh, that's looking better.

3081
01:46:17,890 --> 01:46:19,370
Almost 2,100.

3082
01:46:19,550 --> 01:46:23,010
2,100 trolls listening live at noagendastream.com.

3083
01:46:23,130 --> 01:46:25,030
And of course, many of them trolling along

3084
01:46:25,030 --> 01:46:25,410
in the troller.

3085
01:46:25,490 --> 01:46:25,850
And you know what?

3086
01:46:25,890 --> 01:46:27,350
The trolls know everything so much better.

3087
01:46:27,950 --> 01:46:29,610
That is my favorite part of the trolls.

3088
01:46:30,450 --> 01:46:32,630
They think that they're actually talking on the

3089
01:46:32,630 --> 01:46:32,850
show.

3090
01:46:33,610 --> 01:46:34,370
But you're not.

3091
01:46:36,090 --> 01:46:38,410
They are on the show of their own.

3092
01:46:38,590 --> 01:46:39,190
Yeah, I know.

3093
01:46:39,370 --> 01:46:41,070
But I look over, you know, I always

3094
01:46:41,070 --> 01:46:41,970
got to look over from time.

3095
01:46:42,010 --> 01:46:43,730
I have a peripheral vision.

3096
01:46:43,890 --> 01:46:46,910
I was like, oh, oh, oh, oh.

3097
01:46:48,290 --> 01:46:50,530
I'm really trying to give them grace.

3098
01:46:50,890 --> 01:46:52,410
It's hard sometimes.

3099
01:46:52,710 --> 01:46:52,930
Why?

3100
01:46:53,370 --> 01:46:54,690
Let's just say horrible things.

3101
01:46:54,950 --> 01:46:55,450
They're trolls.

3102
01:46:55,690 --> 01:46:56,410
Yeah, that's why.

3103
01:46:56,510 --> 01:46:56,890
They're trolls.

3104
01:46:57,050 --> 01:46:57,290
Exactly.

3105
01:46:57,490 --> 01:46:58,130
To give them grace.

3106
01:46:58,910 --> 01:47:00,410
They might want grief.

3107
01:47:01,450 --> 01:47:02,190
I think you're right.

3108
01:47:02,330 --> 01:47:02,930
I got them finally.

3109
01:47:03,070 --> 01:47:04,490
I got them to kick me off again.

3110
01:47:04,710 --> 01:47:05,330
No, I've got.

3111
01:47:05,330 --> 01:47:07,670
Oh, look, he talked about my post.

3112
01:47:07,850 --> 01:47:09,690
Yes, that is right.

3113
01:47:09,810 --> 01:47:11,130
That is exactly it.

3114
01:47:12,210 --> 01:47:14,230
We are a value for value podcast.

3115
01:47:15,270 --> 01:47:16,830
Now, first, I should mention that you can

3116
01:47:16,830 --> 01:47:19,310
definitely get this on the modern podcast apps.

3117
01:47:19,410 --> 01:47:20,450
That's what you want to do.

3118
01:47:20,510 --> 01:47:22,470
Because when we go live, you'll get a

3119
01:47:22,470 --> 01:47:23,710
notification that we're going live.

3120
01:47:23,770 --> 01:47:25,090
You can listen to that live show in

3121
01:47:25,090 --> 01:47:26,470
the modern podcast app.

3122
01:47:26,790 --> 01:47:27,710
Many more features.

3123
01:47:27,870 --> 01:47:30,110
Don't even think about these legacy apps.

3124
01:47:30,210 --> 01:47:32,370
Apple, Spotify, even Overcast.

3125
01:47:32,490 --> 01:47:33,430
You know, it doesn't have any of the

3126
01:47:33,430 --> 01:47:33,950
cool features.

3127
01:47:34,590 --> 01:47:36,750
It's in the modern podcast apps at podcastapps

3128
01:47:36,750 --> 01:47:37,130
.com.

3129
01:47:37,510 --> 01:47:38,450
Value for value.

3130
01:47:39,890 --> 01:47:42,070
Although we are considering giving you a yonder

3131
01:47:42,070 --> 01:47:44,790
pouch, which just sounds like a fine premium.

3132
01:47:45,310 --> 01:47:47,490
Other than that, there's nothing you got to

3133
01:47:47,490 --> 01:47:49,050
do to get the premium content.

3134
01:47:49,210 --> 01:47:50,930
No bonus stuff, no plus packages.

3135
01:47:51,390 --> 01:47:52,770
We put it all out there for you

3136
01:47:52,770 --> 01:47:54,890
to consume at no charge.

3137
01:47:55,410 --> 01:48:00,470
No, no exchange of anything for just listening

3138
01:48:00,470 --> 01:48:01,190
to the podcast.

3139
01:48:01,670 --> 01:48:04,010
All we ask is that when you eventually,

3140
01:48:04,210 --> 01:48:06,490
at some point in your day, think that

3141
01:48:06,490 --> 01:48:07,990
was valuable to me.

3142
01:48:08,890 --> 01:48:12,130
Immediately go to knowagendadonations.com and send us

3143
01:48:12,130 --> 01:48:14,890
whatever value that had to you back to

3144
01:48:14,890 --> 01:48:15,170
us.

3145
01:48:15,210 --> 01:48:16,550
So we give you the value.

3146
01:48:16,550 --> 01:48:18,010
You send it back.

3147
01:48:18,510 --> 01:48:19,230
It's that simple.

3148
01:48:20,010 --> 01:48:21,690
You can do this with time, talent, and

3149
01:48:21,690 --> 01:48:22,050
treasure.

3150
01:48:23,070 --> 01:48:24,710
The time and talent of people who do

3151
01:48:24,710 --> 01:48:25,250
so many things.

3152
01:48:25,330 --> 01:48:27,910
See, they sent you clips of Keith Olbermann.

3153
01:48:28,370 --> 01:48:28,950
Mike Olbermann.

3154
01:48:29,050 --> 01:48:29,910
I was going to say Mike Olbermann.

3155
01:48:31,510 --> 01:48:33,490
You know, it's just like, all right, that's

3156
01:48:33,490 --> 01:48:34,530
kind of valuable.

3157
01:48:34,690 --> 01:48:35,070
Thank you.

3158
01:48:35,510 --> 01:48:36,990
The people organize meetups.

3159
01:48:37,910 --> 01:48:40,070
You've got Void Zero trying to help us

3160
01:48:40,070 --> 01:48:41,170
with the newsletter issues.

3161
01:48:41,970 --> 01:48:42,070
Yeah.

3162
01:48:42,230 --> 01:48:43,850
And he's really- I've had to talk

3163
01:48:43,850 --> 01:48:44,450
to him on the phone.

3164
01:48:44,450 --> 01:48:46,290
And he's really working hard because he can't

3165
01:48:46,290 --> 01:48:47,710
even get you on the email anymore.

3166
01:48:48,130 --> 01:48:50,950
But that is time and talent right there.

3167
01:48:51,650 --> 01:48:55,950
Or you could be making artwork for us.

3168
01:48:56,530 --> 01:48:58,790
Interestingly enough, on the previous show, which was

3169
01:48:58,790 --> 01:49:01,210
our best of second half of show, got

3170
01:49:01,210 --> 01:49:02,370
a lot of positive results.

3171
01:49:02,470 --> 01:49:05,670
People thought it was very interesting that immediately

3172
01:49:05,670 --> 01:49:08,730
Obama was giving out classified information.

3173
01:49:09,190 --> 01:49:10,670
President Trump says he's going to release all

3174
01:49:10,670 --> 01:49:11,630
of the UFO files.

3175
01:49:11,910 --> 01:49:13,630
They thought that just could not be a

3176
01:49:13,630 --> 01:49:15,430
coincidence that we did our second half of

3177
01:49:15,430 --> 01:49:15,710
show.

3178
01:49:17,190 --> 01:49:18,070
But we did.

3179
01:49:19,230 --> 01:49:22,730
And you did not, as you typically do,

3180
01:49:23,090 --> 01:49:23,970
send me artwork.

3181
01:49:25,330 --> 01:49:27,250
Usually you send me artwork and say, here's

3182
01:49:27,250 --> 01:49:27,810
artwork for the show.

3183
01:49:27,830 --> 01:49:28,890
I didn't see anything.

3184
01:49:29,290 --> 01:49:32,610
So I figured you'd either ask Darren for

3185
01:49:32,610 --> 01:49:33,810
some or you just get some.

3186
01:49:34,130 --> 01:49:36,670
I just went to Gemini and said, make

3187
01:49:36,670 --> 01:49:38,610
me a second half of show artwork.

3188
01:49:38,810 --> 01:49:39,590
And that's what we got.

3189
01:49:40,350 --> 01:49:40,630
Yeah.

3190
01:49:42,290 --> 01:49:43,030
I know.

3191
01:49:43,030 --> 01:49:44,990
I was as underwhelmed as you are.

3192
01:49:45,630 --> 01:49:46,750
But that's what it is.

3193
01:49:47,670 --> 01:49:48,870
And no one sent anything.

3194
01:49:49,050 --> 01:49:50,010
Well, I guess we...

3195
01:49:50,010 --> 01:49:51,210
I guess no, they did, but you didn't

3196
01:49:51,210 --> 01:49:51,550
get it.

3197
01:49:51,850 --> 01:49:52,530
Well, I looked.

3198
01:49:52,610 --> 01:49:54,050
I didn't see anything that was any good.

3199
01:49:54,290 --> 01:49:55,190
Because there's some there.

3200
01:49:55,290 --> 01:49:55,890
I saw it.

3201
01:49:56,150 --> 01:49:57,230
Well, I didn't.

3202
01:49:57,350 --> 01:49:59,250
I saw the end of the road when

3203
01:49:59,250 --> 01:50:00,430
I was posting the show.

3204
01:50:01,170 --> 01:50:01,430
When I was...

3205
01:50:01,430 --> 01:50:02,810
Yeah, no, it probably wasn't there by the

3206
01:50:02,810 --> 01:50:02,910
time.

3207
01:50:02,950 --> 01:50:03,110
Yeah.

3208
01:50:03,650 --> 01:50:05,250
The timing was a miss.

3209
01:50:05,330 --> 01:50:05,990
Timing was wrong.

3210
01:50:06,090 --> 01:50:06,230
Yeah.

3211
01:50:06,330 --> 01:50:08,070
I mean, we do have to...

3212
01:50:08,070 --> 01:50:09,550
And I did it Wednesday night.

3213
01:50:09,590 --> 01:50:10,810
I had it all ready and good to

3214
01:50:10,810 --> 01:50:10,950
go.

3215
01:50:11,030 --> 01:50:12,450
I still could have done it Thursday morning.

3216
01:50:12,450 --> 01:50:13,530
I looked, I didn't see anything.

3217
01:50:13,710 --> 01:50:15,990
But anyway, thank you if you submitted.

3218
01:50:16,450 --> 01:50:17,490
It came in too late.

3219
01:50:17,570 --> 01:50:18,590
We're on a tight schedule here.

3220
01:50:19,750 --> 01:50:21,730
So now is your chance to get in

3221
01:50:21,730 --> 01:50:23,270
for episode 1845.

3222
01:50:23,490 --> 01:50:26,750
Go to noagendaartgenerator.com and spin something up.

3223
01:50:27,150 --> 01:50:29,550
Oh, I believe I have to congratulate our

3224
01:50:29,550 --> 01:50:33,510
Dutch mastress, mistress, Dutch mastress, mistress.

3225
01:50:35,110 --> 01:50:39,110
Tante Niel, I believe, was her birthday two

3226
01:50:39,110 --> 01:50:39,730
days ago.

3227
01:50:40,330 --> 01:50:41,210
So I want to say happy birthday.

3228
01:50:41,230 --> 01:50:42,250
She wasn't on the birthday list?

3229
01:50:42,450 --> 01:50:44,850
No, no, it came through a signal message.

3230
01:50:45,150 --> 01:50:46,750
So I just want to say, I just

3231
01:50:46,750 --> 01:50:48,070
want to say happy birthday to her.

3232
01:50:48,110 --> 01:50:48,670
And we miss you.

3233
01:50:48,870 --> 01:50:49,670
We miss you.

3234
01:50:49,850 --> 01:50:51,430
From time to time, she comes in with

3235
01:50:51,430 --> 01:50:52,310
something that's stellar.

3236
01:50:52,550 --> 01:50:54,270
So we miss your original artwork.

3237
01:50:55,190 --> 01:50:57,690
So now we want to thank the Treasure

3238
01:50:57,690 --> 01:51:00,110
part of our producers who sent something back

3239
01:51:00,110 --> 01:51:00,470
to us.

3240
01:51:00,570 --> 01:51:01,370
Time Talent Treasure.

3241
01:51:01,970 --> 01:51:04,190
We thank everyone who sends us $50 or

3242
01:51:04,190 --> 01:51:04,710
more.

3243
01:51:05,390 --> 01:51:08,350
And for this segment, we have our special

3244
01:51:08,350 --> 01:51:11,610
Hollywood credits, not even Hollywood style, actual Hollywood

3245
01:51:11,610 --> 01:51:12,010
credits.

3246
01:51:12,010 --> 01:51:14,610
That are good and recognized in all Hollywood

3247
01:51:14,610 --> 01:51:15,150
circles.

3248
01:51:15,730 --> 01:51:18,810
Associate executive producer, if you send this $200

3249
01:51:18,810 --> 01:51:20,330
and we will read your note.

3250
01:51:20,510 --> 01:51:23,670
$300 and above, it is executive producer and

3251
01:51:23,670 --> 01:51:24,530
we will read your note.

3252
01:51:24,610 --> 01:51:26,270
And these, you can tell these credits are

3253
01:51:26,270 --> 01:51:29,010
real because you can create an entry if

3254
01:51:29,010 --> 01:51:31,550
you don't already have one at imdb.com.

3255
01:51:31,650 --> 01:51:35,830
Then we start today with Benjamin Domzalski from

3256
01:51:35,830 --> 01:51:36,690
Cleveland, Ohio.

3257
01:51:37,150 --> 01:51:42,270
He sent us 343.75. And let me

3258
01:51:42,270 --> 01:51:43,710
see what he says here.

3259
01:51:43,890 --> 01:51:48,110
He says, Benjamin Domzalski from Cleveland, requesting prayers

3260
01:51:48,110 --> 01:51:49,170
for my son, Adam.

3261
01:51:49,350 --> 01:51:50,150
Oh, he's named Adam.

3262
01:51:50,990 --> 01:51:52,590
Name previous to becoming a producer.

3263
01:51:52,790 --> 01:51:53,290
Sorry, Adam.

3264
01:51:53,450 --> 01:51:54,150
Oh, okay.

3265
01:51:54,450 --> 01:51:57,690
He is converting to Catholicism and tomorrow, that

3266
01:51:57,690 --> 01:52:01,210
is today, 2226, is his rite of sending.

3267
01:52:02,270 --> 01:52:03,390
Are you familiar with this?

3268
01:52:03,450 --> 01:52:04,230
The rite of sending?

3269
01:52:04,370 --> 01:52:04,890
I'm not sure what it is.

3270
01:52:04,890 --> 01:52:05,050
No.

3271
01:52:05,450 --> 01:52:05,650
Okay.

3272
01:52:06,430 --> 01:52:08,790
It's about two steps away from full conversion.

3273
01:52:08,790 --> 01:52:13,450
We will be at with the entirety of

3274
01:52:13,450 --> 01:52:14,990
the Cleveland Catholic Diocese.

3275
01:52:15,150 --> 01:52:17,070
He is nervous, so all prayers are welcome.

3276
01:52:17,410 --> 01:52:18,690
No karma, just love.

3277
01:52:18,770 --> 01:52:19,690
Glad to be a producer.

3278
01:52:20,170 --> 01:52:21,570
I think I am now a knight.

3279
01:52:22,190 --> 01:52:24,070
As an accountant, I should- Converting from,

3280
01:52:24,150 --> 01:52:24,510
I wonder.

3281
01:52:26,510 --> 01:52:29,390
From atheism, agnosticism, from nothingism.

3282
01:52:29,630 --> 01:52:31,390
You don't convert from atheism.

3283
01:52:32,330 --> 01:52:33,530
Well, I don't know.

3284
01:52:33,830 --> 01:52:34,570
It's a good question.

3285
01:52:35,110 --> 01:52:36,610
I do not have the information.

3286
01:52:37,590 --> 01:52:40,430
Yes, I already did when I read the

3287
01:52:40,430 --> 01:52:40,790
spreadsheet.

3288
01:52:41,410 --> 01:52:42,430
I think I am now a knight.

3289
01:52:42,710 --> 01:52:44,490
Well, as an accountant, I should keep better

3290
01:52:44,490 --> 01:52:44,770
track.

3291
01:52:44,890 --> 01:52:45,630
I will follow up.

3292
01:52:45,690 --> 01:52:47,390
Jingles, Sharpton, anything.

3293
01:52:47,890 --> 01:52:50,090
And thank the Lord for my smoking hot

3294
01:52:50,090 --> 01:52:50,430
wife.

3295
01:52:50,790 --> 01:52:51,270
Resist.

3296
01:52:51,650 --> 01:52:52,290
We must.

3297
01:52:52,970 --> 01:52:53,750
We must.

3298
01:52:54,090 --> 01:52:57,110
They're all jitty about a shutdown.

3299
01:52:57,450 --> 01:52:59,350
The tortice in the race.

3300
01:52:59,570 --> 01:53:01,730
Then co-author of Hubris.

3301
01:53:01,730 --> 01:53:04,810
You two lead singer Bono.

3302
01:53:12,470 --> 01:53:17,680
So I've been watching Sharpton on and off

3303
01:53:17,680 --> 01:53:19,360
for the last six months.

3304
01:53:20,460 --> 01:53:20,760
Wow.

3305
01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:22,300
And I can't catch his flubs.

3306
01:53:22,440 --> 01:53:25,220
I think they must just reshoot stuff constantly.

3307
01:53:25,480 --> 01:53:28,200
Oh no, they must be pre-taping.

3308
01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:29,420
Yeah.

3309
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:29,920
Yeah.

3310
01:53:30,820 --> 01:53:31,980
Okay, we got Evan here.

3311
01:53:32,080 --> 01:53:33,200
Evan from Rhode Island.

3312
01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:34,560
ITM Adam and John.

3313
01:53:34,820 --> 01:53:37,860
With this donation, I can officially cleanse myself

3314
01:53:37,860 --> 01:53:39,100
of douche baggery.

3315
01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:42,840
You've been de-douche.

3316
01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:43,400
Very good.

3317
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,660
With that out of the way, I've been

3318
01:53:46,660 --> 01:53:48,780
listening to you guys since the start of

3319
01:53:48,780 --> 01:53:51,880
COVID, give or take about six years.

3320
01:53:52,500 --> 01:53:53,020
All right.

3321
01:53:53,260 --> 01:53:54,340
Six years before COVID.

3322
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:56,080
You two have brought humor as well as

3323
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:59,760
insights to the otherwise chaotic day-to-day

3324
01:54:00,300 --> 01:54:03,820
that the media would have us live in.

3325
01:54:04,560 --> 01:54:07,640
Thank you both for the levity twice a

3326
01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:07,840
week.

3327
01:54:08,340 --> 01:54:10,520
The only jingle I request is the Scott

3328
01:54:10,520 --> 01:54:12,240
Simon suffering succotash.

3329
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:14,640
It makes me laugh every time I hear

3330
01:54:14,640 --> 01:54:14,820
it.

3331
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:16,240
Suffering succotash.

3332
01:54:16,380 --> 01:54:18,520
I'm Scott Simon.

3333
01:54:23,580 --> 01:54:24,460
I'm sorry.

3334
01:54:24,580 --> 01:54:26,960
He was in for 333.33. Yeah, same

3335
01:54:26,960 --> 01:54:27,260
amount.

3336
01:54:27,380 --> 01:54:30,000
333.33 from Noah Vattenmacher.

3337
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:34,380
These are, of course, donations from two episodes.

3338
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:37,120
1844 and for 1845 today.

3339
01:54:37,180 --> 01:54:38,840
He's from Three Rivers, California.

3340
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:41,580
And he says, birthday don't know for me.

3341
01:54:41,980 --> 01:54:42,420
Don't know.

3342
01:54:43,620 --> 01:54:45,380
February 18th, he turns 40.

3343
01:54:45,480 --> 01:54:45,900
Hooray!

3344
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:47,340
And hooray for you, Noah.

3345
01:54:48,460 --> 01:54:49,000
Don't know.

3346
01:54:49,300 --> 01:54:49,700
Don't know.

3347
01:54:50,580 --> 01:54:54,160
Jeffrey Anton in Melbourne, Florida.

3348
01:54:54,460 --> 01:54:57,880
333.00 with no notes.

3349
01:54:57,920 --> 01:54:58,960
So he gets a double up karma.

3350
01:54:58,960 --> 01:55:00,300
Yes, he does.

3351
01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:03,940
You've got karma.

3352
01:55:07,460 --> 01:55:08,020
Sir, oh no.

3353
01:55:08,160 --> 01:55:12,740
Yes, Sir Commodore Mark Bendikowski, Warsaw, Poland.

3354
01:55:13,620 --> 01:55:14,220
321.

3355
01:55:15,260 --> 01:55:17,460
I will donate until John will get my

3356
01:55:17,460 --> 01:55:18,340
surname right.

3357
01:55:20,040 --> 01:55:21,200
Love you guys.

3358
01:55:21,580 --> 01:55:23,660
Night name change, please, to Sir Rick of

3359
01:55:23,660 --> 01:55:24,880
the Cyber Abyss.

3360
01:55:25,540 --> 01:55:27,260
Well, you've just changed it.

3361
01:55:27,260 --> 01:55:29,540
Many years ago, you had me knighted as

3362
01:55:29,540 --> 01:55:29,640
Sir.

3363
01:55:29,640 --> 01:55:30,600
No, no, you, you.

3364
01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:31,520
Oh, I'm sorry.

3365
01:55:31,840 --> 01:55:32,940
There's two greens there.

3366
01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:34,620
I was reading.

3367
01:55:34,820 --> 01:55:36,640
The green was bleeding over to the green.

3368
01:55:36,700 --> 01:55:37,240
I'm sorry.

3369
01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:38,180
I'm sorry.

3370
01:55:39,440 --> 01:55:42,220
Now that you mention it, I've had issues

3371
01:55:42,220 --> 01:55:43,560
with these colors too.

3372
01:55:43,680 --> 01:55:44,280
Yeah, okay.

3373
01:55:44,440 --> 01:55:44,900
That was my mistake.

3374
01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:47,240
And you have color blindness, which I'm sure

3375
01:55:47,240 --> 01:55:47,340
doesn't help.

3376
01:55:47,340 --> 01:55:48,560
Let me just finish this.

3377
01:55:48,560 --> 01:55:49,100
Let me do it again.

3378
01:55:50,620 --> 01:55:51,620
Sir Commodore Mark.

3379
01:55:51,860 --> 01:55:52,980
So I'll edit this.

3380
01:55:53,080 --> 01:55:54,040
No one will ever know the difference.

3381
01:55:55,060 --> 01:55:55,300
Right.

3382
01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:56,700
Wait, wait.

3383
01:55:56,700 --> 01:55:57,200
321.

3384
01:55:58,340 --> 01:56:01,040
Sir Commodore Mark Bendikowski, Warsaw, Poland.

3385
01:56:01,400 --> 01:56:01,920
321.

3386
01:56:02,140 --> 01:56:04,220
He says he will donate until John gets

3387
01:56:04,220 --> 01:56:05,260
my surname right.

3388
01:56:05,580 --> 01:56:06,340
Love you guys.

3389
01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:07,220
Oh, let me give it a shot.

3390
01:56:07,380 --> 01:56:07,600
Yes.

3391
01:56:10,340 --> 01:56:10,860
Bendikowski.

3392
01:56:11,560 --> 01:56:13,420
Oh, I'm sorry.

3393
01:56:13,620 --> 01:56:14,460
Oh, did I get it right?

3394
01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:15,320
I'm sorry.

3395
01:56:15,440 --> 01:56:16,480
No, I'm sorry.

3396
01:56:16,620 --> 01:56:17,760
You did not get it right.

3397
01:56:19,180 --> 01:56:22,180
Sir Rick of the Cyber Abyss in Modesto,

3398
01:56:22,360 --> 01:56:22,880
California.

3399
01:56:23,580 --> 01:56:25,860
Or Abyss, as they might say nowadays.

3400
01:56:25,860 --> 01:56:26,760
300.

3401
01:56:27,500 --> 01:56:30,580
Knight name change, please, to Sir Rick of

3402
01:56:30,580 --> 01:56:31,600
the Cyber Abyss.

3403
01:56:32,140 --> 01:56:33,880
This kind of says, okay, I get it.

3404
01:56:34,360 --> 01:56:37,220
Many years ago, you had me knighted as

3405
01:56:37,220 --> 01:56:40,420
Sir Finditclassifieds.com.

3406
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:47,000
Finditclassifieds.com or something like that, as that

3407
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:49,520
was where I was mining dollars from the

3408
01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:50,580
web at the time.

3409
01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:58,740
Now, I'm at Podgrapper.com and Sitespy007.com.

3410
01:56:58,900 --> 01:56:59,000
Ooh.

3411
01:56:59,440 --> 01:57:01,800
Okay, so plugging everything you can under the

3412
01:57:01,800 --> 01:57:02,100
sun.

3413
01:57:02,620 --> 01:57:03,940
That's worth 300 bucks.

3414
01:57:04,060 --> 01:57:05,080
Andrew Ribby.

3415
01:57:05,360 --> 01:57:06,300
I'm just going to guess it's Andrew Ribby.

3416
01:57:06,300 --> 01:57:10,420
Wait, we're already the associates for two shows?

3417
01:57:10,660 --> 01:57:11,580
Yep, I told you.

3418
01:57:12,200 --> 01:57:12,760
I told you.

3419
01:57:13,540 --> 01:57:18,380
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 235.16. And he has

3420
01:57:18,380 --> 01:57:20,240
a note that he sent in.

3421
01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:22,040
Let's see.

3422
01:57:22,180 --> 01:57:27,200
John and Adam Remittance, V4V, $200, okay.

3423
01:57:27,860 --> 01:57:29,980
Tina, glass of wine to aid putting up

3424
01:57:29,980 --> 01:57:30,980
with Adam, $15.

3425
01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:32,480
Oh, well, that is nice.

3426
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:35,140
Mimi, glass of wine to aid putting up

3427
01:57:35,140 --> 01:57:36,140
with John, $15.

3428
01:57:36,360 --> 01:57:37,900
He's giving us the full accounting.

3429
01:57:38,140 --> 01:57:39,340
This is dynamite.

3430
01:57:40,340 --> 01:57:43,300
Phoebe Treat, $5.

3431
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:47,700
Hey, if you don't mind, I'm not going

3432
01:57:47,700 --> 01:57:49,780
to give my dog some $5 treat.

3433
01:57:49,780 --> 01:57:52,000
I think that's probably a bit much.

3434
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:54,440
He has not priced dog treats for a

3435
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:54,620
while.

3436
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:57,400
No, it's a lot of money for a

3437
01:57:57,400 --> 01:57:57,620
dog treat.

3438
01:57:57,620 --> 01:57:59,940
$400 for reasonably good dog food.

3439
01:58:00,860 --> 01:58:01,180
Yes.

3440
01:58:01,440 --> 01:58:04,540
Check fee, $0.15. Adam's Jar, $0.01.

3441
01:58:04,860 --> 01:58:05,460
Where's my...

3442
01:58:06,540 --> 01:58:08,460
You know, ever since I went to Linux,

3443
01:58:08,600 --> 01:58:11,640
I think I lost my coin jar.

3444
01:58:11,880 --> 01:58:12,980
I got to find that.

3445
01:58:14,080 --> 01:58:16,860
Total, 235.16. Thank you for the joy

3446
01:58:16,860 --> 01:58:19,780
you bring to the producers through your incessant

3447
01:58:19,780 --> 01:58:23,060
bickering, shout-out, and celebration of the...

3448
01:58:23,060 --> 01:58:24,880
Oh, shout-out and celebration of the lives

3449
01:58:24,880 --> 01:58:28,440
of two incredible Christian men, Vaddy Bauckham and

3450
01:58:28,440 --> 01:58:29,320
John MacArthur.

3451
01:58:29,500 --> 01:58:32,240
Please tell everyone to rent from Hickory Oak

3452
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:34,200
Properties advertisement.

3453
01:58:34,700 --> 01:58:37,700
Thanks to all producer for jobs...

3454
01:58:37,700 --> 01:58:39,660
Oh, slash jobs prayers.

3455
01:58:39,940 --> 01:58:40,180
Okay.

3456
01:58:40,760 --> 01:58:42,500
P.S. I picked up side work so

3457
01:58:42,500 --> 01:58:43,220
I could donate.

3458
01:58:43,220 --> 01:58:45,780
Regards, Andrew Ribby.

3459
01:58:46,940 --> 01:58:48,520
Oh, and he wants a mac and cheese

3460
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:48,920
jingle.

3461
01:58:49,160 --> 01:58:49,780
All right.

3462
01:58:50,120 --> 01:58:51,580
Mac and cheese.

3463
01:58:51,720 --> 01:58:53,360
We got some mac and cheese for you.

3464
01:58:57,040 --> 01:58:58,100
Yes, this one.

3465
01:58:59,200 --> 01:59:01,420
You slaves can get used to mac and

3466
01:59:01,420 --> 01:59:01,620
cheese.

3467
01:59:01,900 --> 01:59:02,500
Mac and cheese.

3468
01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:04,760
Macaroni and cheese.

3469
01:59:05,020 --> 01:59:06,560
Cheddar melted together.

3470
01:59:11,880 --> 01:59:12,500
Hey, everybody.

3471
01:59:12,500 --> 01:59:14,800
And they are both on the birthday list.

3472
01:59:15,740 --> 01:59:18,260
And can we confirm that you're using Linux

3473
01:59:18,260 --> 01:59:18,960
once again?

3474
01:59:19,100 --> 01:59:19,320
Oh, yeah.

3475
01:59:19,320 --> 01:59:20,500
The people's operating system.

3476
01:59:20,500 --> 01:59:22,800
The people's operating system is in full effect.

3477
01:59:24,040 --> 01:59:26,300
And you're going to take the people's operating

3478
01:59:26,300 --> 01:59:27,220
system on the road?

3479
01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:28,820
Yes.

3480
01:59:29,220 --> 01:59:32,300
I will have a backup of the Redmond,

3481
01:59:32,460 --> 01:59:35,140
Washington operating system just in case.

3482
01:59:35,540 --> 01:59:39,100
But yes, I believe that I am almost

3483
01:59:39,100 --> 01:59:40,660
completely transitioned off.

3484
01:59:40,660 --> 01:59:43,420
And of course, now I am back on

3485
01:59:43,420 --> 01:59:46,520
Graphene OS, also the people's mobile operating system.

3486
01:59:46,720 --> 01:59:47,560
I am free.

3487
01:59:47,740 --> 01:59:48,940
I am unshackled.

3488
01:59:49,820 --> 01:59:50,980
But what has been?

3489
01:59:51,940 --> 01:59:52,420
Yes.

3490
01:59:52,760 --> 01:59:55,220
But what has been a lousy operating system?

3491
01:59:55,420 --> 01:59:55,700
Yes.

3492
01:59:55,920 --> 01:59:56,520
A lot of it.

3493
01:59:56,600 --> 01:59:56,840
Yes.

3494
01:59:57,780 --> 01:59:58,160
Okay.

3495
01:59:58,280 --> 02:00:03,340
Striker in Miami Springs, Florida, 23333.

3496
02:00:04,320 --> 02:00:06,160
Adam and John, my wife and I are

3497
02:00:06,160 --> 02:00:07,080
longtime listeners.

3498
02:00:07,220 --> 02:00:08,660
She's a no agenda Commodore.

3499
02:00:08,660 --> 02:00:10,800
And I'm a douchebag until now.

3500
02:00:12,460 --> 02:00:14,180
You've been de-douched.

3501
02:00:14,660 --> 02:00:16,820
I'm an active duty Coast Guard pilot flying

3502
02:00:16,820 --> 02:00:18,920
the HC-144B.

3503
02:00:19,380 --> 02:00:20,180
By the way.

3504
02:00:20,240 --> 02:00:21,240
I want to take a look at this.

3505
02:00:21,780 --> 02:00:23,980
This was a screw up on my part

3506
02:00:23,980 --> 02:00:25,920
because I went and pitched about the Coast

3507
02:00:25,920 --> 02:00:27,900
Guard being part of, not part of the

3508
02:00:27,900 --> 02:00:31,040
military and part of DHS.

3509
02:00:31,480 --> 02:00:32,380
And I got corrected.

3510
02:00:32,500 --> 02:00:33,340
This is a correction.

3511
02:00:33,680 --> 02:00:34,000
Yes.

3512
02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:35,900
They were never part of the military.

3513
02:00:36,500 --> 02:00:38,880
Oh, this is one of those big fatties

3514
02:00:38,880 --> 02:00:42,020
with the two turbo props on the wing.

3515
02:00:43,880 --> 02:00:45,180
The HC-144B.

3516
02:00:46,040 --> 02:00:46,920
Ocean Sentry.

3517
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:48,220
Yeah.

3518
02:00:48,420 --> 02:00:50,080
That's a big bad boy.

3519
02:00:50,820 --> 02:00:51,120
Yeah.

3520
02:00:51,740 --> 02:00:52,060
Nice.

3521
02:00:52,220 --> 02:00:55,780
We are indeed under DHS, meaning I'm current.

3522
02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:57,480
By the way, they were never under the

3523
02:00:57,480 --> 02:00:57,700
military.

3524
02:00:57,840 --> 02:00:59,460
They used to be under the Treasury Department.

3525
02:00:59,620 --> 02:01:00,760
They got bounced around a lot.

3526
02:01:00,960 --> 02:01:03,520
So it's no surprise that they ended up

3527
02:01:03,520 --> 02:01:04,160
under DHS.

3528
02:01:04,760 --> 02:01:07,800
Meaning I'm currently flying SAR missions without a

3529
02:01:07,800 --> 02:01:08,260
paycheck.

3530
02:01:08,460 --> 02:01:11,080
Just because I'm not getting paid to work

3531
02:01:11,080 --> 02:01:13,360
doesn't mean you shouldn't get paid for the

3532
02:01:13,360 --> 02:01:15,140
best podcast in the universe.

3533
02:01:15,500 --> 02:01:16,760
Can I interject for one second?

3534
02:01:17,080 --> 02:01:19,240
So while I was traveling, both going out

3535
02:01:19,240 --> 02:01:22,280
and coming back in, I thought, let me

3536
02:01:22,280 --> 02:01:24,340
be, let me say something nice to every

3537
02:01:24,340 --> 02:01:26,100
single TSA agent I see.

3538
02:01:27,120 --> 02:01:28,980
And I said the same thing to all

3539
02:01:28,980 --> 02:01:29,280
of them.

3540
02:01:29,740 --> 02:01:31,660
Even the lady who was yelling about your

3541
02:01:31,660 --> 02:01:32,100
water bottle.

3542
02:01:32,100 --> 02:01:34,580
I said, thank you so much for working

3543
02:01:34,580 --> 02:01:36,680
during this mess in Congress.

3544
02:01:37,480 --> 02:01:39,180
Every single one of them gave the same

3545
02:01:39,180 --> 02:01:39,660
response.

3546
02:01:40,560 --> 02:01:45,580
They rolled their eyes up and went, that's

3547
02:01:45,580 --> 02:01:45,720
it.

3548
02:01:45,880 --> 02:01:46,600
They did?

3549
02:01:46,740 --> 02:01:48,360
Yeah, they just, but not towards me.

3550
02:01:48,380 --> 02:01:50,140
They didn't say thanks for the, you know?

3551
02:01:50,160 --> 02:01:50,660
No, no, no, no.

3552
02:01:50,760 --> 02:01:53,260
They would say that, but the whole response

3553
02:01:53,260 --> 02:01:57,100
of Congress was like, whatever, these basically douchebags,

3554
02:01:57,280 --> 02:01:57,680
whatever.

3555
02:01:57,920 --> 02:01:59,380
What else is new this week?

3556
02:01:59,680 --> 02:02:00,160
Yes, they were.

3557
02:02:00,280 --> 02:02:01,900
They get paid eventually, which is inconvenient.

3558
02:02:03,600 --> 02:02:04,820
Of course they were happy and they were,

3559
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:06,280
I think I made their day.

3560
02:02:06,800 --> 02:02:07,760
I hope so.

3561
02:02:07,940 --> 02:02:08,600
I think so.

3562
02:02:09,900 --> 02:02:11,860
Just because, anyway, he continues, just because I'm

3563
02:02:11,860 --> 02:02:13,540
not getting paid to work doesn't mean you

3564
02:02:13,540 --> 02:02:16,100
shouldn't get paid for the best podcast in

3565
02:02:16,100 --> 02:02:16,560
the universe.

3566
02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:21,520
And saying that we need more donations.

3567
02:02:21,760 --> 02:02:22,040
Yes.

3568
02:02:22,300 --> 02:02:24,320
And I thank him for that.

3569
02:02:24,840 --> 02:02:27,400
To combat growing AI digital noise and budget

3570
02:02:27,400 --> 02:02:30,020
madness, we just launched the Pen Pal Pilot

3571
02:02:30,020 --> 02:02:31,980
at penpalpilot.com.

3572
02:02:31,980 --> 02:02:32,720
Wow.

3573
02:02:33,540 --> 02:02:34,580
Penpalpilot.com.

3574
02:02:34,600 --> 02:02:35,160
What is this?

3575
02:02:35,240 --> 02:02:35,980
And we'd love it.

3576
02:02:36,140 --> 02:02:36,740
You check it out.

3577
02:02:36,980 --> 02:02:39,240
And we'd love fellow No Agenda listeners to

3578
02:02:39,240 --> 02:02:39,940
check it out.

3579
02:02:40,320 --> 02:02:43,960
It's a monthly snail mail club, delivering stories

3580
02:02:43,960 --> 02:02:46,320
from the cockpit directly to your mailbox.

3581
02:02:46,520 --> 02:02:50,580
I'm sharing the stick and rudder reality, which

3582
02:02:50,580 --> 02:02:52,040
is funny because I have a, I have

3583
02:02:52,040 --> 02:02:55,120
some, a funny series of clips if we

3584
02:02:55,120 --> 02:02:57,480
either this or next about games.

3585
02:02:57,860 --> 02:02:58,220
Okay.

3586
02:02:58,220 --> 02:03:02,300
Reality of search and rescue through letters, logs,

3587
02:03:02,420 --> 02:03:03,120
and more.

3588
02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:06,160
It's perfect for the retirees who miss the

3589
02:03:06,160 --> 02:03:07,520
smell of the jet fuel.

3590
02:03:08,340 --> 02:03:12,220
Young future pilots or any aviation enthusiasts, producers

3591
02:03:12,220 --> 02:03:16,860
can sign up at penpalpilot.com before March

3592

1st to receive our first ever newsletter, ITM

Striker.

3594
02:03:21,000 --> 02:03:23,120
Oh, this is a cool little, little thing

3595
02:03:23,120 --> 02:03:24,120
they got going on here.

3596
02:03:24,320 --> 02:03:25,420
About Striker.

3597
02:03:25,420 --> 02:03:29,940
Striker is an active duty HC-144B pilot

3598
02:03:29,940 --> 02:03:33,360
who documents the raw reality of search and

3599
02:03:33,360 --> 02:03:37,420
rescue and daily flight operations through personal, handwritten

3600

logs delivered straight to your mailbox.

3601
02:03:40,360 --> 02:03:43,320
Each dispatch serves as your direct connection to

3602
02:03:43,320 --> 02:03:46,540
the flight deck, capturing the grit and spirit

3603
02:03:46,540 --> 02:03:48,760
of missions from the pilot seat of a

3604
02:03:48,760 --> 02:03:50,240
Coast Guard airframe.

3605
02:03:50,800 --> 02:03:51,580
These are first-hand.

3606
02:03:51,580 --> 02:03:52,680
You should give him a free voiceover.

3607
02:03:52,680 --> 02:03:53,440
I'm doing it now.

3608
02:03:53,520 --> 02:03:54,140
You're interrupting.

3609
02:03:54,140 --> 02:03:55,740
I know, but I stepped all over it

3610
02:03:55,740 --> 02:03:56,100
already.

3611
02:03:56,380 --> 02:03:58,700
These are first-hand accounts of the stick

3612
02:03:58,700 --> 02:04:01,200
and rudder flying that happens when the sensors

3613
02:04:01,200 --> 02:04:04,380
go dark and the missions get real.

3614
02:04:06,300 --> 02:04:07,380
I love it.

3615
02:04:07,500 --> 02:04:08,840
Yeah, you nailed it.

3616
02:04:08,960 --> 02:04:10,700
Yeah, these guys are hard workers.

3617
02:04:11,600 --> 02:04:15,180
Sir Tooth Fairy, Valparaiso, Valparaiso, I think it

3618
02:04:15,180 --> 02:04:15,780
is, Indiana.

3619
02:04:17,600 --> 02:04:19,300
$223, associate executive producer.

3620
02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:20,000
Thank you very much.

3621
02:04:20,080 --> 02:04:21,740
No, no, that gives you a double up

3622
02:04:21,740 --> 02:04:21,960
karma.

3623
02:04:22,060 --> 02:04:22,600
You've got.

3624
02:04:24,740 --> 02:04:25,340
Karma.

3625
02:04:26,960 --> 02:04:28,940
And we have Linda Lou Patkin in Castle

3626
02:04:28,940 --> 02:04:29,660
Rock, Colorado.

3627
02:04:29,800 --> 02:04:32,160
$200 jobs karma for a competitive edge.

3628
02:04:32,440 --> 02:04:34,800
She writes with a resume that gets results.

3629
02:04:34,900 --> 02:04:36,300
Go to ImageMakersInc.com.

3630
02:04:36,700 --> 02:04:41,320
Linda applies executive level positioning to career transitions

3631
02:04:41,320 --> 02:04:42,600
at every stage.

3632
02:04:42,900 --> 02:04:44,260
That's ImageMakersInc with a K.

3633
02:04:44,720 --> 02:04:46,780
And work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs,

3634
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:49,060
writer of winning resumes.

3635
02:04:50,320 --> 02:04:53,300
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

3636
02:04:53,300 --> 02:04:54,940
Let's vote for jobs.

3637
02:04:55,380 --> 02:04:56,780
You've got karma.

3638
02:04:57,180 --> 02:05:00,220
And we got Juliana Lee coming in from

3639
02:05:00,220 --> 02:05:02,480
Boonesboro, Maryland with $200.

3640
02:05:02,840 --> 02:05:04,420
A final associate executive producer.

3641
02:05:04,940 --> 02:05:06,740
No need to read this note on the

3642
02:05:06,740 --> 02:05:07,000
show.

3643
02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:09,460
Well, that's too enticing.

3644
02:05:10,440 --> 02:05:12,500
But I have a TV show tip for

3645
02:05:12,500 --> 02:05:12,660
you.

3646
02:05:12,740 --> 02:05:13,160
Oh, OK.

3647
02:05:13,680 --> 02:05:15,300
If you do watch the shows and enjoy

3648
02:05:15,300 --> 02:05:17,600
them, suggest, you recommend them on the tip

3649
02:05:17,600 --> 02:05:17,840
of the day.

3650
02:05:17,920 --> 02:05:20,740
OK, the collection is Walter Presents on British

3651
02:05:20,740 --> 02:05:21,480
Channel 4.

3652
02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:23,400
Excellent European shows.

3653
02:05:24,360 --> 02:05:27,360
Deutschland 83, 86, and 89 is about young

3654
02:05:27,360 --> 02:05:30,060
Eastern Germany spy, German spy in Berlin during

3655
02:05:30,060 --> 02:05:30,780
the Cold War.

3656
02:05:31,220 --> 02:05:33,320
The Ring is a Dutch thriller about a

3657
02:05:33,320 --> 02:05:34,680
woman that gets involved in a murder.

3658
02:05:35,120 --> 02:05:37,580
And Seaside Hotel, an idyllic Danish drama.

3659
02:05:38,060 --> 02:05:39,160
Are these with subtitles?

3660
02:05:40,160 --> 02:05:41,680
I can't, I can't do that.

3661
02:05:42,640 --> 02:05:44,500
I need like, I need English.

3662
02:05:46,100 --> 02:05:48,500
Well, you know what is pretty good is

3663
02:05:48,500 --> 02:05:50,060
some of the stuff that comes out of

3664
02:05:50,060 --> 02:05:50,740
Australia.

3665
02:05:50,740 --> 02:05:53,060
The Australian mysteries that are kind of fashioned

3666
02:05:53,060 --> 02:05:56,680
after British, you know, masterpiece theater stuff.

3667
02:05:57,760 --> 02:05:58,640
It's decent.

3668
02:05:58,760 --> 02:05:59,960
Their storylines are good.

3669
02:06:00,100 --> 02:06:03,280
They have the acting is excellent, which is

3670
02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:05,020
a real problem with most stuff nowadays.

3671
02:06:05,180 --> 02:06:06,180
The acting stinks.

3672
02:06:06,420 --> 02:06:09,880
It's still pretty pathetic that there's nothing.

3673
02:06:10,080 --> 02:06:10,640
There's nothing.

3674
02:06:11,100 --> 02:06:13,840
We got so many streaming things.

3675
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:15,580
It's like, oh, this looks like it's not

3676
02:06:15,580 --> 02:06:16,480
going to be any good.

3677
02:06:16,580 --> 02:06:16,880
Thank you.

3678
02:06:16,940 --> 02:06:18,920
So I started watching season three of The

3679
02:06:18,920 --> 02:06:19,360
Diplomat.

3680
02:06:20,340 --> 02:06:21,120
Oh, no.

3681
02:06:22,740 --> 02:06:25,360
I like the first episode was excellent.

3682
02:06:25,720 --> 02:06:26,960
It falls apart.

3683
02:06:28,800 --> 02:06:29,200
Okay.

3684
02:06:29,260 --> 02:06:29,820
Well, we'll see.

3685
02:06:29,900 --> 02:06:31,280
I haven't gotten to a falling apart yet.

3686
02:06:31,360 --> 02:06:33,540
I'm, I'm, I'm stretching it.

3687
02:06:34,840 --> 02:06:35,240
Yeah.

3688
02:06:35,320 --> 02:06:37,040
In other words, I'm not sitting and watching

3689
02:06:37,040 --> 02:06:37,740
a whole episode.

3690
02:06:37,820 --> 02:06:39,360
I watched like a third and.

3691
02:06:39,560 --> 02:06:41,500
Oh, oh, you, oh, you stretch the episodes.

3692
02:06:41,600 --> 02:06:43,080
You, you cut in this episode.

3693
02:06:43,320 --> 02:06:43,820
It's interesting.

3694
02:06:44,280 --> 02:06:46,480
No, it stretches it out to something more

3695
02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:49,980
reasonable than, you know, here's our season six

3696
02:06:49,980 --> 02:06:50,700
episodes.

3697
02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:52,060
You're out of here.

3698
02:06:52,380 --> 02:06:54,000
We'll see you in five years.

3699
02:06:54,020 --> 02:06:55,820
When we come back with another six episodes,

3700
02:06:55,820 --> 02:06:57,440
we like to put so much effort into

3701
02:06:57,440 --> 02:06:57,560
it.

3702
02:06:57,620 --> 02:06:58,320
Where's paradise?

3703
02:06:58,600 --> 02:06:59,220
Bring that back.

3704
02:06:59,280 --> 02:07:02,100
Hey, I'm telling you breakdown 1975.

3705
02:07:03,420 --> 02:07:04,320
I'll check it out.

3706
02:07:04,400 --> 02:07:05,900
I think you'll enjoy it from a historical

3707
02:07:05,900 --> 02:07:06,460
perspective.

3708
02:07:06,820 --> 02:07:09,460
Thank you to these executive and associate executive

3709
02:07:09,460 --> 02:07:11,780
producers of the best podcasts in the universe.

3710
02:07:12,060 --> 02:07:15,980
Today's episode 1845 brought to you in part

3711
02:07:15,980 --> 02:07:17,860
by these excellent producers.

3712
02:07:18,040 --> 02:07:19,740
We'll thank the rest of our producers, $50

3713
02:07:19,740 --> 02:07:21,460
and above in our second segment, go to

3714
02:07:21,460 --> 02:07:23,920
knowledge in the donations.com return the value

3715
02:07:23,920 --> 02:07:25,740
in the value for value.

3716
02:07:25,860 --> 02:07:28,600
This show comes to you completely uninterrupted by

3717
02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:31,780
any commercial notifications, except some pilot thing.

3718
02:07:31,820 --> 02:07:33,560
You can get a letter from him and,

3719
02:07:33,960 --> 02:07:35,740
oh, you know, I gotta, I should mention

3720
02:07:35,740 --> 02:07:37,440
as a testimonial.

3721
02:07:37,700 --> 02:07:39,780
I got a note from one of our

3722
02:07:39,780 --> 02:07:40,180
producers.

3723
02:07:40,580 --> 02:07:43,960
I recently was contacted by headhunter for a

3724
02:07:43,960 --> 02:07:46,000
director position at a biotech company.

3725
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:47,940
It seemed really cool at first.

3726
02:07:48,020 --> 02:07:50,120
And then things started to smell fishy.

3727
02:07:50,240 --> 02:07:53,200
I panicked and I called Linda Lou Patkin.

3728
02:07:54,440 --> 02:07:56,460
And while I have not yet utilized her

3729
02:07:56,460 --> 02:07:59,360
amazing services, she helped me determine this was

3730
02:07:59,360 --> 02:08:00,200
indeed a scam.

3731
02:08:00,600 --> 02:08:02,980
We were hilarious on the phone saying things

3732
02:08:02,980 --> 02:08:05,560
like ITM and connection is protection.

3733
02:08:06,020 --> 02:08:08,420
I was incredibly embarrassed when I asked her

3734
02:08:08,420 --> 02:08:10,280
for her email and we both laughed about

3735
02:08:10,280 --> 02:08:10,460
it.

3736
02:08:10,640 --> 02:08:12,080
Just want to let you know, I appreciate

3737
02:08:12,080 --> 02:08:13,180
the no agenda community.

3738
02:08:13,340 --> 02:08:14,880
And I'm so happy we can look out

3739
02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:15,780
for one another.

3740
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:18,800
That's the kind of producers we have on

3741
02:08:18,800 --> 02:08:19,460
this show.

3742
02:08:19,840 --> 02:08:21,180
No agenda donations dot com.

3743
02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:23,980
Any amount, any frequency for your recurring donation.

3744
02:08:24,320 --> 02:08:26,000
And thank you to these outstanding producers.

3745
02:08:26,040 --> 02:08:27,280
Our formula is this.

3746
02:08:28,160 --> 02:08:28,820
We go out.

3747
02:08:29,180 --> 02:08:30,640
We hit people in the mouth.

3748
02:08:47,480 --> 02:08:49,680
And let's talk about Iran for a second.

3749
02:08:50,740 --> 02:08:51,900
Yeah, I have one short clip.

3750
02:08:51,960 --> 02:08:53,760
They could be a good introduction because it's

3751
02:08:53,760 --> 02:08:54,000
only.

3752
02:08:54,500 --> 02:08:55,060
All right.

3753
02:08:55,280 --> 02:08:56,380
Shorty on Iran.

3754
02:08:56,820 --> 02:08:57,060
Sure.

3755
02:08:57,160 --> 02:08:58,760
Does it say shorty on Iran?

3756
02:08:59,040 --> 02:09:00,320
Yeah, it does say that.

3757
02:09:00,520 --> 02:09:03,840
President Trump says he hasn't decided on whether

3758
02:09:03,840 --> 02:09:06,040
the U.S. will launch military strikes on

3759
02:09:06,040 --> 02:09:06,440
Iran.

3760
02:09:06,700 --> 02:09:09,420
But while he weighs his options, the military

3761
02:09:09,420 --> 02:09:11,260
buildup in the Mideast over the past few

3762
02:09:11,260 --> 02:09:14,340
months means the U.S. has an expansive

3763
02:09:14,340 --> 02:09:16,680
naval and air presence in the area.

3764
02:09:17,260 --> 02:09:19,380
And here's Greg Myrie says Trump has a

3765
02:09:19,380 --> 02:09:21,480
range of options now that U.S. forces

3766
02:09:21,480 --> 02:09:23,800
reached a critical mass in the region.

3767
02:09:24,140 --> 02:09:26,900
But Trump so far hasn't outlined his plans

3768
02:09:26,900 --> 02:09:28,180
on a possible attack.

3769
02:09:28,360 --> 02:09:30,640
This has been a very different approach than

3770
02:09:30,640 --> 02:09:32,780
we've seen from other presidents in the run

3771
02:09:32,780 --> 02:09:33,520
up to wars.

3772
02:09:34,040 --> 02:09:36,360
Trump, for example, hasn't made a major speech

3773
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:38,880
to the American people about the prospect for

3774
02:09:38,880 --> 02:09:40,160
a new Middle East war.

3775
02:09:40,160 --> 02:09:42,320
Though his State of the Union address is

3776
02:09:42,320 --> 02:09:45,900
on Tuesday, his administration hasn't sought support from

3777
02:09:45,900 --> 02:09:48,100
Congress or made the case at the United

3778
02:09:48,100 --> 02:09:48,560
Nations.

3779
02:09:49,340 --> 02:09:51,540
And aside from Israel, the president hasn't sought

3780
02:09:51,540 --> 02:09:53,540
to bring in U.S. allies or build

3781
02:09:53,540 --> 02:09:55,160
an international coalition.

3782
02:09:56,000 --> 02:09:57,400
And here's Greg Myrie reporting.

3783
02:09:57,900 --> 02:10:01,160
Well, having been on the road, I have

3784
02:10:01,160 --> 02:10:02,960
the advantage of having picked up a few

3785
02:10:02,960 --> 02:10:05,960
clips before today's program, even before the weekend.

3786
02:10:05,960 --> 02:10:09,480
Clip collector Steve sent me this one on

3787
02:10:09,480 --> 02:10:09,900
Thursday.

3788
02:10:10,040 --> 02:10:12,100
This is the outstanding work from the Barry

3789
02:10:12,100 --> 02:10:13,780
Weiss newsroom at CBS.

3790
02:10:14,100 --> 02:10:15,160
We turn now to the Middle East and

3791
02:10:15,160 --> 02:10:16,060
the breaking news tonight.

3792
02:10:16,180 --> 02:10:18,420
A potential military strike on Iran could happen

3793
02:10:18,420 --> 02:10:21,180
as soon as Saturday, according to top national

3794
02:10:21,180 --> 02:10:22,060
security officials.

3795
02:10:22,640 --> 02:10:25,120
President Trump has already positioned U.S. warships

3796
02:10:25,120 --> 02:10:27,780
and fighter jets in the region as nuclear

3797
02:10:27,780 --> 02:10:29,120
talks continue with Iran.

3798
02:10:29,360 --> 02:10:31,040
Senior White House correspondent Ed O'Keefe has

3799
02:10:31,040 --> 02:10:31,420
the latest.

3800
02:10:31,580 --> 02:10:32,060
Ed, good evening.

3801
02:10:32,120 --> 02:10:32,560
What are you hearing?

3802
02:10:33,220 --> 02:10:35,760
Tony sources tell CBS News the president hasn't

3803
02:10:35,760 --> 02:10:37,560
yet made a final decision on whether to

3804
02:10:37,560 --> 02:10:37,820
strike.

3805
02:10:38,080 --> 02:10:41,080
Conversations about potential military action are described as

3806
02:10:41,080 --> 02:10:42,040
fluid and ongoing.

3807
02:10:42,260 --> 02:10:43,740
As the White House weighs the political and

3808
02:10:43,740 --> 02:10:46,420
military risks of escalation, the president has said

3809
02:10:46,420 --> 02:10:49,160
he would consider strikes if Iran doesn't agree

3810
02:10:49,160 --> 02:10:50,980
to curb its nuclear weapons program.

3811
02:10:51,400 --> 02:10:53,960
The Pentagon is moving some personnel temporarily out

3812
02:10:53,960 --> 02:10:55,160
of the Middle East region over the next

3813
02:10:55,160 --> 02:10:55,640
three days.

3814
02:10:55,980 --> 02:10:57,780
They're headed primarily to Europe or back here

3815
02:10:57,780 --> 02:10:59,280
to the U.S. ahead of any potential

3816
02:10:59,280 --> 02:11:01,440
action or counterattacks by Iran.

3817
02:11:01,920 --> 02:11:03,920
So, you know, if you look on social

3818
02:11:03,920 --> 02:11:07,780
media, you've got the obligatory, oh, the troops

3819
02:11:07,780 --> 02:11:09,920
are getting steak and lobster dinner.

3820
02:11:10,100 --> 02:11:11,260
That means it's coming on.

3821
02:11:11,320 --> 02:11:11,860
It's going to happen.

3822
02:11:11,960 --> 02:11:12,600
It's all over.

3823
02:11:12,800 --> 02:11:13,760
But it's going to happen.

3824
02:11:14,880 --> 02:11:16,980
I reached out to Sir Brian of London.

3825
02:11:17,260 --> 02:11:17,940
Wait, wait.

3826
02:11:18,140 --> 02:11:20,900
So if they get steak and lobster, they

3827
02:11:20,900 --> 02:11:21,380
go to war?

3828
02:11:21,660 --> 02:11:22,940
Oh, you've never heard this?

3829
02:11:23,300 --> 02:11:24,820
No, I've never heard this.

3830
02:11:24,840 --> 02:11:26,440
Oh, this meme keeps popping up.

3831
02:11:27,060 --> 02:11:28,720
I'm sure we've talked about it.

3832
02:11:29,120 --> 02:11:29,400
I'm sure.

3833
02:11:29,540 --> 02:11:29,960
Maybe.

3834
02:11:30,380 --> 02:11:30,820
Lobster.

3835
02:11:30,820 --> 02:11:31,600
Let me see.

3836
02:11:32,780 --> 02:11:35,480
Yeah, here's a this was a this is

3837
02:11:35,480 --> 02:11:36,860
from I don't know what it's from.

3838
02:11:36,960 --> 02:11:37,860
This is a while back.

3839
02:11:38,400 --> 02:11:40,720
So there's videos going viral of the U

3840
02:11:40,720 --> 02:11:44,500
.S. military being served steak and lobster all

3841
02:11:44,500 --> 02:11:45,560
over social media.

3842
02:11:46,140 --> 02:11:48,500
If you're familiar with the military, you know

3843
02:11:48,500 --> 02:11:49,880
about the steak and lobster.

3844
02:11:50,420 --> 02:11:52,660
Are we about to be in the middle

3845
02:11:52,660 --> 02:11:53,620
of a conflict?

3846
02:11:53,920 --> 02:11:56,300
I would like any military personnel.

3847
02:11:56,300 --> 02:11:57,640
I've never asked this question.

3848
02:11:58,180 --> 02:12:02,160
To immediately text me, signal me, email me

3849
02:12:02,160 --> 02:12:03,340
if this is true.

3850
02:12:03,660 --> 02:12:05,080
I believe it's bullcrap.

3851
02:12:06,180 --> 02:12:09,520
But, you know, whenever there's an imminent attack

3852
02:12:09,520 --> 02:12:10,640
or something's happening.

3853
02:12:11,180 --> 02:12:13,360
First of all, you're dealing with shellfish.

3854
02:12:13,700 --> 02:12:14,940
You can make people sick.

3855
02:12:15,020 --> 02:12:16,380
You don't want to even take a chance

3856
02:12:16,380 --> 02:12:16,800
on this.

3857
02:12:17,020 --> 02:12:19,060
I think that is an excellent point.

3858
02:12:19,540 --> 02:12:21,080
One of my rules about flying.

3859
02:12:21,400 --> 02:12:22,780
Don't eat the shrimp.

3860
02:12:23,460 --> 02:12:24,020
No, no.

3861
02:12:24,120 --> 02:12:25,400
And certainly no sushi.

3862
02:12:26,420 --> 02:12:28,500
Oh, God, what airplane?

3863
02:12:29,740 --> 02:12:30,660
That's for sure.

3864
02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:32,700
Do not eat sushi on an airplane or

3865
02:12:32,700 --> 02:12:34,800
a gas station or at the airport like

3866
02:12:34,800 --> 02:12:35,340
SFO.

3867
02:12:35,460 --> 02:12:37,820
SFO has a sushi joint.

3868
02:12:38,400 --> 02:12:40,400
There are lots of sushi joints at airports.

3869
02:12:40,960 --> 02:12:43,440
Actually, there's a sushi joint at Heathrow that

3870
02:12:43,440 --> 02:12:44,040
is a killer.

3871
02:12:44,720 --> 02:12:48,460
There's a there's a oyster and caviar bar

3872
02:12:48,460 --> 02:12:49,300
at JFK.

3873
02:12:50,160 --> 02:12:51,100
That's what you want.

3874
02:12:51,580 --> 02:12:53,120
I mean, I'll make you sick, too.

3875
02:12:53,340 --> 02:12:54,400
But at least you got caviar.

3876
02:12:56,180 --> 02:13:00,280
PBS NewsHour had some relatively good info or

3877
02:13:00,280 --> 02:13:01,160
details.

3878
02:13:01,640 --> 02:13:03,720
Just they had information on the negotiations.

3879
02:13:03,880 --> 02:13:04,620
Let me put it that way.

3880
02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:07,100
U.S. and Iranian officials met yesterday to

3881
02:13:07,100 --> 02:13:10,540
continue negotiations over that country's nuclear program.

3882
02:13:11,020 --> 02:13:12,520
What have we learned about how that negotiation

3883
02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:12,880
went?

3884
02:13:13,060 --> 02:13:15,540
An Iranian official and a regional official both

3885
02:13:15,540 --> 02:13:17,580
confirmed to me tonight that Iran has made

3886
02:13:17,580 --> 02:13:20,800
this offer a pause in domestic enrichment of

3887
02:13:20,800 --> 02:13:23,520
uranium to produce nuclear fuel through the end

3888
02:13:23,520 --> 02:13:26,440
of the first Trump administration, entering into some

3889
02:13:26,440 --> 02:13:29,180
kind of regional consortium for enrichment in the

3890
02:13:29,180 --> 02:13:31,980
future, and three, exporting or diluting the highly

3891
02:13:31,980 --> 02:13:33,000
enriched uranium.

3892
02:13:33,360 --> 02:13:35,460
That's one step away from weapons grade that

3893
02:13:35,460 --> 02:13:37,020
the U.S. bombed last summer.

3894
02:13:37,100 --> 02:13:39,500
In exchange, Iran would ask for sanctions relief

3895
02:13:39,500 --> 02:13:41,380
and open up to U.S. investment.

3896
02:13:41,820 --> 02:13:43,160
Officials tell me the U.S. has made

3897
02:13:43,160 --> 02:13:46,180
a counter offer and continues to insist that

3898
02:13:46,180 --> 02:13:49,600
Iran permanently give up any ability to enrich

3899
02:13:49,600 --> 02:13:50,860
uranium domestically.

3900
02:13:50,860 --> 02:13:52,920
And today we heard from White House spokesperson

3901
02:13:52,920 --> 02:13:56,160
Caroline Leavitt hinting at that ongoing impasse.

3902
02:13:56,900 --> 02:13:58,500
There was a little bit of progress.

3903
02:13:58,620 --> 02:13:58,800
What?

3904
02:13:59,080 --> 02:13:59,400
I'm sorry?

3905
02:13:59,820 --> 02:14:00,880
I was just going to say that we

3906
02:14:00,880 --> 02:14:02,700
kind of we encourage investment.

3907
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:04,900
But when Trump gets out, we're changing everything

3908
02:14:04,900 --> 02:14:05,360
back.

3909
02:14:05,600 --> 02:14:08,460
Did they expect to get investment with that

3910
02:14:08,460 --> 02:14:09,080
strategy?

3911
02:14:10,640 --> 02:14:12,920
Well, I don't think this is about nuclear

3912
02:14:12,920 --> 02:14:13,600
at all.

3913
02:14:14,080 --> 02:14:14,720
That's a cover.

3914
02:14:17,500 --> 02:14:18,800
Let's listen to the lady.

3915
02:14:18,800 --> 02:14:21,740
There was a little bit of progress made,

3916
02:14:21,780 --> 02:14:23,380
but we're still very far apart on some

3917
02:14:23,380 --> 02:14:23,640
issues.

3918
02:14:23,740 --> 02:14:26,280
I believe the Iranians are expected to come

3919
02:14:26,280 --> 02:14:28,800
back to us with some more detail in

3920
02:14:28,800 --> 02:14:29,760
the next couple of weeks.

3921
02:14:29,960 --> 02:14:31,760
And so the president will continue to watch

3922
02:14:31,760 --> 02:14:32,500
how this plays out.

3923
02:14:32,780 --> 02:14:35,080
So the way I see it, we're positioned

3924
02:14:35,080 --> 02:14:36,660
there in the Straits of Hormuz.

3925
02:14:36,800 --> 02:14:40,720
Iran has already done a live fire exercise.

3926
02:14:41,100 --> 02:14:44,520
So the whole point is no Chinese go

3927
02:14:44,520 --> 02:14:45,920
ships with your oil.

3928
02:14:46,220 --> 02:14:47,480
We're going to catch him.

3929
02:14:47,600 --> 02:14:48,440
We're right here.

3930
02:14:48,440 --> 02:14:50,320
We're the only place you can get him

3931
02:14:50,320 --> 02:14:50,660
out.

3932
02:14:51,340 --> 02:14:52,420
No more Chinese.

3933
02:14:52,680 --> 02:14:54,260
No more oil going to China.

3934
02:14:54,840 --> 02:14:59,260
Instead, as I understand the deal, let our

3935
02:14:59,260 --> 02:15:02,240
companies come in and do business with you.

3936
02:15:02,300 --> 02:15:04,060
And I think that they are interested in

3937
02:15:04,060 --> 02:15:04,360
that.

3938
02:15:04,560 --> 02:15:05,240
I really do.

3939
02:15:06,100 --> 02:15:07,520
Well, there's more money in it for him

3940
02:15:07,520 --> 02:15:10,020
because the Chinese buy always best price.

3941
02:15:10,160 --> 02:15:11,780
So he's going for the low ball.

3942
02:15:11,880 --> 02:15:14,340
These poor guys said that Venezuelans were getting

3943
02:15:14,340 --> 02:15:15,900
screwed in the Chinese deal.

3944
02:15:15,900 --> 02:15:18,300
So whenever I see all these numbers of

3945
02:15:18,300 --> 02:15:21,560
60 percent enrichment, 40 percent enrichment, that's your

3946
02:15:21,560 --> 02:15:22,720
negotiating tactic.

3947
02:15:23,500 --> 02:15:24,460
That's what it is.

3948
02:15:24,680 --> 02:15:27,000
Here's the deal is still lopsided.

3949
02:15:27,140 --> 02:15:27,740
Here's PBS.

3950
02:15:27,920 --> 02:15:29,280
The U.S. has deployed what the president

3951
02:15:29,280 --> 02:15:31,960
calls an armada to the region, including the

3952
02:15:31,960 --> 02:15:34,300
U.S.'s largest aircraft carrier and strike group,

3953
02:15:34,660 --> 02:15:36,120
dozens of additional fighter jets.

3954
02:15:36,420 --> 02:15:38,340
Former officials, analysts telling me the U.S.

3955
02:15:38,340 --> 02:15:40,820
is capable of delivering a strong blow against

3956
02:15:40,820 --> 02:15:43,200
Iran, but will find it difficult to defend

3957
02:15:43,200 --> 02:15:46,080
itself and allies from a big Iranian response.

3958
02:15:46,300 --> 02:15:47,960
What are those former officials and analysts tell

3959
02:15:47,960 --> 02:15:49,600
you about the chance of a deal?

3960
02:15:49,800 --> 02:15:51,880
Exactly what Secretary of State Marco Rubio has

3961
02:15:51,880 --> 02:15:52,840
said in the last couple of days.

3962
02:15:52,960 --> 02:15:55,080
It is very difficult because the U.S.

3963
02:15:55,220 --> 02:15:57,800
demands are larger than what Iran is willing

3964
02:15:57,800 --> 02:15:58,520
to concede.

3965
02:15:59,040 --> 02:16:02,080
Iran will simply not give up that right

3966
02:16:02,080 --> 02:16:05,140
for domestic enrichment, says former State Department official

3967
02:16:05,140 --> 02:16:07,840
and current distinguished diplomatic fellow at the Middle

3968
02:16:07,840 --> 02:16:09,220
East Institute, Alan Ayer.

3969
02:16:10,460 --> 02:16:14,320
What they see is any any capitulation in

3970
02:16:14,320 --> 02:16:17,620
the face of pressure will invite further aggression.

3971
02:16:17,860 --> 02:16:20,580
What they're doing now is they're getting ready

3972
02:16:20,580 --> 02:16:21,440
to take a hit.

3973
02:16:21,960 --> 02:16:23,920
You know, satellite imagery is showing this.

3974
02:16:24,160 --> 02:16:25,780
Open press reporting is showing this.

3975
02:16:26,220 --> 02:16:28,340
I'm sure intelligence is reporting this.

3976
02:16:29,120 --> 02:16:32,219
While they're continuing negotiations with the U.S.,

3977
02:16:32,639 --> 02:16:36,219
they fully expect these negotiations not to result

3978
02:16:36,219 --> 02:16:36,820
in a deal.

3979
02:16:36,820 --> 02:16:41,780
And they're preparing themselves for a massive U

3980
02:16:41,780 --> 02:16:43,080
.S. military attack.

3981
02:16:43,360 --> 02:16:44,639
Here's what I think.

3982
02:16:45,500 --> 02:16:50,200
This is I think that the U.S.

3983
02:16:50,240 --> 02:16:52,719
State Department and Trump and the Iranians have

3984
02:16:52,719 --> 02:16:54,500
already agreed.

3985
02:16:55,200 --> 02:16:57,700
It's much better for you to sell the

3986
02:16:57,700 --> 02:16:58,459
oil to us.

3987
02:16:58,540 --> 02:16:59,480
Let us come in there.

3988
02:16:59,559 --> 02:17:01,160
Let our American companies in.

3989
02:17:01,160 --> 02:17:04,559
And this whole thing is a face-saving

3990
02:17:04,559 --> 02:17:08,360
exercise towards the Chinese so they can say,

3991
02:17:08,740 --> 02:17:11,120
hey, I'm sorry, Xi, like, you know, they

3992
02:17:11,120 --> 02:17:12,379
were going to blow us up.

3993
02:17:12,660 --> 02:17:14,200
So we had to do this.

3994
02:17:14,500 --> 02:17:17,400
It could also be a fake blow up.

3995
02:17:17,500 --> 02:17:18,959
You know, they could drop some bombs in

3996
02:17:18,959 --> 02:17:19,459
the desert.

3997
02:17:19,760 --> 02:17:20,879
Well, yes.

3998
02:17:21,240 --> 02:17:25,180
And because we're sticking with the two of

3999
02:17:25,180 --> 02:17:25,420
us.

4000
02:17:25,540 --> 02:17:25,760
Yes.

4001
02:17:25,780 --> 02:17:28,020
Both subscribe to the idea, which is a

4002
02:17:28,020 --> 02:17:31,480
Middle Eastern idea amongst Middle Eastern observers.

4003
02:17:32,219 --> 02:17:34,540
Iranians from actual living and breathing Iranians.

4004
02:17:34,660 --> 02:17:37,500
We've been in cahoots with the Iranians forever.

4005
02:17:37,860 --> 02:17:39,440
The entire era of our show.

4006
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:43,000
So when Margaret Brennan has the Iranian foreign

4007
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:44,020
minister on.

4008
02:17:45,260 --> 02:17:47,400
And again, it's about all of a sudden

4009
02:17:47,400 --> 02:17:48,600
we're back to enrich.

4010
02:17:49,040 --> 02:17:51,160
There was like we blowed this stuff up.

4011
02:17:51,260 --> 02:17:52,580
I'm going to use their term, your term,

4012
02:17:52,660 --> 02:17:52,920
the blow.

4013
02:17:53,020 --> 02:17:54,139
We blowed the stuff up.

4014
02:17:54,620 --> 02:17:56,540
And now it's like, well, you can't enrich

4015
02:17:56,540 --> 02:17:57,240
any more.

4016
02:17:57,240 --> 02:17:59,860
60 percent, 50 percent, 30 percent, blah, blah,

4017
02:17:59,900 --> 02:18:00,000
blah.

4018
02:18:00,280 --> 02:18:01,280
This is a cover.

4019
02:18:01,820 --> 02:18:03,620
There was no there.

4020
02:18:03,940 --> 02:18:06,940
Where were the reports of Iran can have

4021
02:18:06,940 --> 02:18:09,040
a nuke in one week, one month.

4022
02:18:09,160 --> 02:18:09,740
That stopped.

4023
02:18:09,860 --> 02:18:10,520
That went away.

4024
02:18:11,500 --> 02:18:12,660
So it hasn't come back.

4025
02:18:13,059 --> 02:18:14,740
So this is a cover yet.

4026
02:18:16,680 --> 02:18:20,820
OK, but when I heard the Iranian foreign

4027
02:18:20,820 --> 02:18:22,299
minister this morning, and I have a couple

4028
02:18:22,299 --> 02:18:25,200
of clips, he's playing his side of the

4029
02:18:25,200 --> 02:18:25,440
cover.

4030
02:18:25,440 --> 02:18:27,400
We have seen very public statements from the

4031
02:18:27,400 --> 02:18:29,820
president that he said no enrichment.

4032
02:18:30,000 --> 02:18:31,360
And that's a red line.

4033
02:18:31,840 --> 02:18:33,760
But when you say it's your right.

4034
02:18:34,080 --> 02:18:37,860
OK, but you could get enriched uranium and

4035
02:18:37,860 --> 02:18:39,240
buy it from someplace else.

4036
02:18:39,260 --> 02:18:39,959
You know this.

4037
02:18:40,120 --> 02:18:42,840
You've done this is demanding the right to

4038
02:18:42,840 --> 02:18:44,600
enrich on Iranian soil.

4039
02:18:44,980 --> 02:18:48,280
Really worth the risk right now.

4040
02:18:49,080 --> 02:18:52,040
You're facing the potential destruction of your country

4041
02:18:52,040 --> 02:18:54,059
and the regime based on the kind of

4042
02:18:54,059 --> 02:18:55,580
military buildup we're looking at.

4043
02:18:56,879 --> 02:18:59,600
Well, I think as a sovereign country, we

4044
02:18:59,600 --> 02:19:02,780
have every right to decide for ourselves, by

4045
02:19:02,780 --> 02:19:03,200
ourselves.

4046
02:19:04,680 --> 02:19:08,160
We have developed this technology by ourselves, by

4047
02:19:08,160 --> 02:19:08,879
our scientists.

4048
02:19:09,360 --> 02:19:11,440
And it's very dear to us because we

4049
02:19:11,440 --> 02:19:12,080
have paid a lot.

4050
02:19:12,459 --> 02:19:14,059
Yeah, we have paid a huge expense for

4051
02:19:14,059 --> 02:19:14,320
that.

4052
02:19:14,520 --> 02:19:16,280
We have been on the sanctions for for

4053
02:19:16,280 --> 02:19:17,240
at least 20 years.

4054
02:19:17,280 --> 02:19:19,280
And we have lost our scientists and we

4055
02:19:19,280 --> 02:19:22,420
have we have had a war because of

4056
02:19:22,420 --> 02:19:22,700
that.

4057
02:19:23,260 --> 02:19:25,620
So that is now a matter of dignity

4058
02:19:25,620 --> 02:19:27,059
and pride for Iranians.

4059
02:19:27,200 --> 02:19:28,719
And we are not going to give it

4060
02:19:28,719 --> 02:19:28,920
up.

4061
02:19:29,280 --> 02:19:31,420
There is no legal reason to do that.

4062
02:19:31,680 --> 02:19:34,340
While everything is peaceful, while everything is safeguarded

4063
02:19:34,340 --> 02:19:36,820
by the agency, why we had an agreement

4064
02:19:36,820 --> 02:19:40,100
in the past when we will remain fully

4065
02:19:40,100 --> 02:19:41,040
committed to that.

4066
02:19:41,719 --> 02:19:43,400
And, you know, it was the US who

4067
02:19:43,400 --> 02:19:45,420
just withdrew with no justification.

4068
02:19:45,900 --> 02:19:48,000
So we are a committed member of NPT.

4069
02:19:48,360 --> 02:19:49,900
We want to use our right.

4070
02:19:49,900 --> 02:19:51,900
We want to have our right and to

4071
02:19:51,900 --> 02:19:52,600
exercise that.

4072
02:19:52,860 --> 02:19:55,500
So I'll make a controversial statement here.

4073
02:19:56,080 --> 02:19:59,300
As usual, the United States puts Israel into

4074
02:19:59,300 --> 02:20:02,420
play to ratchet it up again, again, you

4075
02:20:02,420 --> 02:20:03,780
know, make it look all that it's all

4076
02:20:03,780 --> 02:20:04,500
kind of real.

4077
02:20:04,640 --> 02:20:06,580
So we all get on edge because, you

4078
02:20:06,580 --> 02:20:10,060
know, you know, Israel, you know, they dominate

4079
02:20:10,060 --> 02:20:10,420
you.

4080
02:20:10,580 --> 02:20:11,660
No, they don't.

4081
02:20:11,680 --> 02:20:13,640
But you understand this could be make it

4082
02:20:13,640 --> 02:20:14,860
or break it for you here.

4083
02:20:14,860 --> 02:20:17,300
I mean, look, your air defenses were largely

4084
02:20:17,300 --> 02:20:20,000
demolished by Israel this past summer.

4085
02:20:20,220 --> 02:20:21,980
They dominate your military.

4086
02:20:22,680 --> 02:20:25,460
They killed the leader of your most powerful

4087
02:20:25,460 --> 02:20:27,500
proxy in Hezbollah.

4088
02:20:27,600 --> 02:20:30,520
The United States bombed your underground nuclear facility.

4089
02:20:30,560 --> 02:20:33,320
The economy is in shambles right now.

4090
02:20:33,680 --> 02:20:36,240
So why do you think the regime could

4091
02:20:36,240 --> 02:20:39,300
even survive unless you give this up?

4092
02:20:40,160 --> 02:20:41,760
Well, that is not the case.

4093
02:20:41,760 --> 02:20:43,620
When you talked about the air defense and

4094
02:20:43,620 --> 02:20:46,060
the war we had with Israel, you know,

4095
02:20:46,140 --> 02:20:48,060
yes, we had a problem with our air

4096
02:20:48,060 --> 02:20:48,380
defense.

4097
02:20:48,480 --> 02:20:50,220
But Israelis had also a problem with their

4098
02:20:50,220 --> 02:20:50,800
air defense.

4099
02:20:51,260 --> 02:20:54,480
And our missiles were able to hit the

4100
02:20:54,480 --> 02:20:55,760
targets inside Israel.

4101
02:20:56,300 --> 02:20:59,160
So, you know, they started the war.

4102
02:20:59,480 --> 02:21:02,280
But after 12 days, they asked for a

4103
02:21:02,280 --> 02:21:03,900
ceasefire, unconditional ceasefire.

4104
02:21:04,040 --> 02:21:04,300
Why?

4105
02:21:04,660 --> 02:21:07,180
Because they couldn't defend themselves against our missiles.

4106
02:21:07,400 --> 02:21:09,380
So we have a very good capability of

4107
02:21:09,380 --> 02:21:09,660
missiles.

4108
02:21:09,660 --> 02:21:11,660
And now we are even in a better

4109
02:21:11,660 --> 02:21:13,160
situation than previous war.

4110
02:21:13,560 --> 02:21:15,900
So as a matter of fact, we are

4111
02:21:15,900 --> 02:21:17,840
in a powerful position to defend ourselves.

4112
02:21:18,020 --> 02:21:19,400
We know how to defend ourselves.

4113
02:21:19,560 --> 02:21:21,540
We did it in the 12-day war.

4114
02:21:21,660 --> 02:21:23,980
And we are fully prepared to repeat that

4115
02:21:23,980 --> 02:21:24,780
if necessary.

4116
02:21:25,260 --> 02:21:29,020
Well, respectfully, Israel has air superiority over Iran.

4117
02:21:29,140 --> 02:21:32,340
But let's talk about what you are saying

4118
02:21:32,340 --> 02:21:33,100
in terms of war.

4119
02:21:33,220 --> 02:21:37,940
Our missiles have also superiority over the space

4120
02:21:37,940 --> 02:21:38,360
of Israel.

4121
02:21:38,360 --> 02:21:39,960
They can hit their targets.

4122
02:21:40,260 --> 02:21:43,240
They hit their targets in a very exact

4123
02:21:43,240 --> 02:21:43,560
way.

4124
02:21:43,880 --> 02:21:44,960
And they can do it again.

4125
02:21:45,260 --> 02:21:48,440
And from what I understand that during the

4126
02:21:48,440 --> 02:21:52,060
12-day war, 90% of the Iranian

4127
02:21:52,060 --> 02:21:54,100
missiles were intercepted, which is a fun way

4128
02:21:54,100 --> 02:21:55,760
of saying 10% made it through.

4129
02:21:56,460 --> 02:21:59,140
And one of those 10% hit the

4130
02:21:59,140 --> 02:22:02,960
interceptor missiles that we have given Israel money

4131
02:22:02,960 --> 02:22:04,060
for to buy from us.

4132
02:22:04,680 --> 02:22:09,020
And they actually probably don't have the interceptors

4133
02:22:09,020 --> 02:22:11,340
if Iran went full bore, which I don't

4134
02:22:11,340 --> 02:22:11,860
expect.

4135
02:22:14,120 --> 02:22:17,100
But let's ratchet up the anxiety a little

4136
02:22:17,100 --> 02:22:17,460
bit more.

4137
02:22:17,700 --> 02:22:20,180
Okay, well, there are 40,000 American personnel

4138
02:22:20,180 --> 02:22:21,700
in the Middle East right now.

4139
02:22:22,360 --> 02:22:24,460
In Iran's letter to the UN Security Council,

4140
02:22:24,660 --> 02:22:26,500
you seem to threaten them because you said

4141
02:22:26,500 --> 02:22:28,240
America will bear full responsibility.

4142
02:22:28,480 --> 02:22:29,660
You said you don't want war.

4143
02:22:29,660 --> 02:22:33,300
But if that's what happens, all bases, facilities,

4144
02:22:33,520 --> 02:22:35,080
and assets of the hostile force in the

4145
02:22:35,080 --> 02:22:36,840
region will be legitimate targets.

4146
02:22:37,220 --> 02:22:40,600
Are you saying Iran will hit US bases

4147
02:22:40,600 --> 02:22:41,400
in the Gulf?

4148
02:22:41,540 --> 02:22:43,840
Or will you also bomb the Gulf countries

4149
02:22:43,840 --> 02:22:44,860
that are your neighbors?

4150
02:22:45,520 --> 02:22:47,680
Well, I'm not going to say what we

4151
02:22:47,680 --> 02:22:49,220
are going to do exactly.

4152
02:22:49,560 --> 02:22:49,740
No.

4153
02:22:49,960 --> 02:22:51,400
Obviously, we defend ourselves.

4154
02:22:51,600 --> 02:22:55,220
If the US attacks us, then we have

4155
02:22:55,220 --> 02:22:57,740
every right to defend ourselves.

4156
02:22:58,540 --> 02:23:00,240
If the US attacks us, that is an

4157
02:23:00,240 --> 02:23:00,960
act of aggression.

4158
02:23:01,500 --> 02:23:03,100
What we do in response is the act

4159
02:23:03,100 --> 02:23:04,100
of self-defense.

4160
02:23:04,840 --> 02:23:08,020
And it is justifiable and legitimate.

4161
02:23:08,840 --> 02:23:11,720
So our missiles cannot hit the American soil.

4162
02:23:12,280 --> 02:23:14,960
So obviously, we have to do something else.

4163
02:23:15,020 --> 02:23:18,640
We have to hit the Americans' base in

4164
02:23:18,640 --> 02:23:19,080
the region.

4165
02:23:19,480 --> 02:23:20,820
That is a fact.

4166
02:23:21,260 --> 02:23:22,380
I am a diplomat.

4167
02:23:22,440 --> 02:23:24,940
I'm not supposed to talk about our military

4168
02:23:24,940 --> 02:23:25,360
plans.

4169
02:23:25,360 --> 02:23:29,120
But what can I say is that why

4170
02:23:29,120 --> 02:23:31,020
we should go for war when there is

4171
02:23:31,020 --> 02:23:32,980
every possibility for a peaceful solution.

4172
02:23:33,600 --> 02:23:35,540
So here's how I see the deal structured.

4173
02:23:37,080 --> 02:23:38,680
Let's make a lot of noise.

4174
02:23:38,980 --> 02:23:39,700
You're right.

4175
02:23:39,800 --> 02:23:42,060
Maybe we lob a couple of bombs in

4176
02:23:42,060 --> 02:23:42,540
the desert.

4177
02:23:44,160 --> 02:23:45,540
They come to the table.

4178
02:23:45,700 --> 02:23:46,800
Oh, okay.

4179
02:23:47,180 --> 02:23:47,840
All right.

4180
02:23:47,980 --> 02:23:48,640
You can...

4181
02:23:48,640 --> 02:23:50,220
Because Trump wants to do business there.

4182
02:23:50,280 --> 02:23:52,640
He wants the total oil dominance with a

4183
02:23:52,640 --> 02:23:54,020
fair deal, quote unquote.

4184
02:23:54,540 --> 02:23:56,420
So our American companies go in.

4185
02:23:56,780 --> 02:23:58,540
We start pumping some of that stuff because

4186
02:23:58,540 --> 02:23:59,840
we know we're out of it here in

4187
02:23:59,840 --> 02:24:00,280
America.

4188
02:24:00,560 --> 02:24:01,940
Just no one wants to admit it except

4189
02:24:01,940 --> 02:24:02,800
for the oil baron.

4190
02:24:03,420 --> 02:24:04,100
And then, you know what?

4191
02:24:04,200 --> 02:24:05,940
Because China will have to go away.

4192
02:24:06,520 --> 02:24:07,660
You know what China's going to get?

4193
02:24:08,040 --> 02:24:11,340
A soft, no military takeover of Taiwan.

4194
02:24:12,000 --> 02:24:13,300
We have nothing in the region.

4195
02:24:13,660 --> 02:24:14,860
Everything's been moved out.

4196
02:24:15,680 --> 02:24:17,140
It won't be like we're taking over.

4197
02:24:17,300 --> 02:24:18,920
They'll just move in like, hey, we're here.

4198
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:19,440
It's okay.

4199
02:24:19,600 --> 02:24:20,260
Everyone's fine.

4200
02:24:20,260 --> 02:24:24,620
Taiwan is governmentally in a mess right now.

4201
02:24:25,240 --> 02:24:27,020
I think it's a three-part deal.

4202
02:24:27,140 --> 02:24:28,400
I think Xi may be in on it

4203
02:24:28,400 --> 02:24:28,620
too.

4204
02:24:29,700 --> 02:24:30,620
How about that?

4205
02:24:33,100 --> 02:24:34,020
Well, that's pretty radical.

4206
02:24:35,820 --> 02:24:37,380
I don't know if the Taiwan thing is

4207
02:24:37,380 --> 02:24:38,180
going to go over.

4208
02:24:39,100 --> 02:24:42,800
But then again, maybe that's why AOC couldn't

4209
02:24:42,800 --> 02:24:45,820
answer the question at the Munich Security Conference

4210
02:24:45,820 --> 02:24:47,560
because she was briefed.

4211
02:24:47,560 --> 02:24:48,780
I actually have a clip of her.

4212
02:24:48,800 --> 02:24:51,380
On the exact plot that you're talking about.

4213
02:24:51,380 --> 02:24:53,260
And so she was tongue-tied.

4214
02:24:53,260 --> 02:24:54,560
That's why she was stumbling.

4215
02:24:54,960 --> 02:24:56,560
I have a 27-second clip.

4216
02:24:56,820 --> 02:24:58,680
By the way, that's a stretch.

4217
02:24:59,120 --> 02:25:01,960
That thesis I just said is a stretch.

4218
02:25:02,680 --> 02:25:03,200
But...

4219
02:25:04,020 --> 02:25:05,880
You took it way too far.

4220
02:25:06,920 --> 02:25:08,420
I'm over the...

4221
02:25:08,420 --> 02:25:09,680
I'm out of control.

4222
02:25:10,020 --> 02:25:11,020
You're over your skis.

4223
02:25:11,100 --> 02:25:11,920
I like where we ended.

4224
02:25:12,420 --> 02:25:13,660
There is one thing, though.

4225
02:25:14,280 --> 02:25:16,720
So I contact Sir Brian of London.

4226
02:25:17,120 --> 02:25:19,140
Because we're about to go with a church

4227
02:25:19,140 --> 02:25:20,480
group go visit Israel.

4228
02:25:20,480 --> 02:25:21,600
Next week.

4229
02:25:23,100 --> 02:25:25,220
And Sir Brian of London says...

4230
02:25:25,220 --> 02:25:26,140
I said, what's the vibe?

4231
02:25:27,040 --> 02:25:27,880
He's in Tel Aviv.

4232
02:25:27,980 --> 02:25:29,150
He said, the vibe is...

4233
02:25:30,960 --> 02:25:34,740
It's not when we will be hit by

4234
02:25:34,740 --> 02:25:35,180
missiles.

4235
02:25:35,660 --> 02:25:36,740
Not if, but when.

4236
02:25:37,120 --> 02:25:37,740
I'm like, okay.

4237
02:25:38,100 --> 02:25:39,560
He says, but you know, we're all out

4238
02:25:39,560 --> 02:25:40,700
here partying on the beach.

4239
02:25:40,760 --> 02:25:41,760
We're not worried about it.

4240
02:25:41,820 --> 02:25:42,860
It's life in Israel.

4241
02:25:45,640 --> 02:25:47,040
And so I'm thinking...

4242
02:25:48,640 --> 02:25:50,000
You know, we're about to go...

4243
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:52,460
We're the youngest people probably in this group.

4244
02:25:53,240 --> 02:25:56,100
There's people in their 70s, upper 70s.

4245
02:25:56,760 --> 02:25:57,880
And I call Pastor Jimmy.

4246
02:25:58,080 --> 02:25:59,160
I said, bro, listen.

4247
02:26:00,280 --> 02:26:01,840
You know, we don't want...

4248
02:26:02,560 --> 02:26:04,260
Like we're in a hotel and an air

4249
02:26:04,260 --> 02:26:05,780
raid siren goes off at night.

4250
02:26:05,920 --> 02:26:06,740
That'd be great.

4251
02:26:07,100 --> 02:26:08,460
No, for me, yeah.

4252
02:26:08,640 --> 02:26:09,740
You know, that'd be fine.

4253
02:26:09,820 --> 02:26:11,480
I went to Iraq in 2003.

4254
02:26:11,480 --> 02:26:13,380
I'm not that worried about it.

4255
02:26:13,840 --> 02:26:15,640
And if something happens, I know where I'm

4256
02:26:15,640 --> 02:26:15,940
going.

4257
02:26:16,180 --> 02:26:19,820
But people get worried about this stuff.

4258
02:26:19,820 --> 02:26:20,880
They get all keyed up.

4259
02:26:20,960 --> 02:26:22,140
They won't be able to enjoy it.

4260
02:26:22,180 --> 02:26:25,080
So we've delayed until October, which I think

4261
02:26:25,080 --> 02:26:26,080
is a good decision.

4262
02:26:26,560 --> 02:26:26,880
Although...

4263
02:26:26,880 --> 02:26:27,000
What?

4264
02:26:27,780 --> 02:26:28,500
Yeah, yeah.

4265
02:26:29,380 --> 02:26:32,920
Oh, I was looking forward to broadcasting live.

4266
02:26:33,020 --> 02:26:34,200
From the war zone.

4267
02:26:35,620 --> 02:26:36,340
Yeah, seriously.

4268
02:26:36,900 --> 02:26:37,480
Me too.

4269
02:26:38,160 --> 02:26:38,620
Me too.

4270
02:26:39,060 --> 02:26:40,920
Well, you know, you got to understand.

4271
02:26:41,580 --> 02:26:42,160
Older people.

4272
02:26:42,320 --> 02:26:43,980
We have a couple guys on the security

4273
02:26:43,980 --> 02:26:45,820
team that have had a head on the

4274
02:26:45,820 --> 02:26:47,160
swivel the whole time.

4275
02:26:47,280 --> 02:26:48,740
You know, like, who's that guy?

4276
02:26:48,800 --> 02:26:49,160
What's he got?

4277
02:26:49,160 --> 02:26:51,620
I don't need this agita in my life.

4278
02:26:52,100 --> 02:26:53,560
I just want to go see where Jesus

4279
02:26:53,560 --> 02:26:54,020
walked.

4280
02:26:54,140 --> 02:26:56,400
I don't want to be worried about my

4281
02:26:56,400 --> 02:26:57,340
fellow travelers.

4282
02:26:58,260 --> 02:26:59,380
So yeah, you're stuck with me.

4283
02:26:59,400 --> 02:27:00,740
You just take a trip by yourself.

4284
02:27:01,140 --> 02:27:02,960
And you get Brian of London there.

4285
02:27:03,000 --> 02:27:04,260
And the place is great after you have

4286
02:27:04,260 --> 02:27:05,420
somebody show you around.

4287
02:27:06,880 --> 02:27:09,160
No, I'm still looking forward to going.

4288
02:27:09,460 --> 02:27:11,520
And Mossad said that the money bags will

4289
02:27:11,520 --> 02:27:11,860
be good.

4290
02:27:11,940 --> 02:27:13,100
They said they'll give it to me later.

4291
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:15,600
So Jew money is still good.

4292
02:27:15,860 --> 02:27:17,400
Yeah, where is that Jew money?

4293
02:27:17,420 --> 02:27:18,620
I haven't seen it on the spreadsheet.

4294
02:27:20,960 --> 02:27:22,440
But I think that's in play.

4295
02:27:22,700 --> 02:27:24,940
I think that I really that feels like

4296
02:27:24,940 --> 02:27:27,020
what's going on because this whole nuclear thing

4297
02:27:27,020 --> 02:27:28,360
came out of nowhere.

4298
02:27:29,560 --> 02:27:31,740
Nowhere after we blew everything up.

4299
02:27:31,740 --> 02:27:33,560
And then, well, they're still enriching.

4300
02:27:33,640 --> 02:27:36,300
And as Margaret said, you can buy it.

4301
02:27:37,040 --> 02:27:39,020
So this has to be a face saving

4302
02:27:39,020 --> 02:27:39,460
maneuver.

4303
02:27:40,080 --> 02:27:42,820
And we'll know it was really that if

4304
02:27:42,820 --> 02:27:46,220
if if she kind of walks into Taiwan

4305
02:27:46,220 --> 02:27:48,000
and says, hey, you know, we're here to

4306
02:27:48,000 --> 02:27:48,700
straighten stuff out.

4307
02:27:48,700 --> 02:27:50,140
Well, I think that they're going to have

4308
02:27:50,140 --> 02:27:52,460
to if he's not going to walk into

4309
02:27:52,460 --> 02:27:55,660
Taiwan while Trump's in office, it's going to

4310
02:27:55,660 --> 02:27:59,320
have to be staged for after twenty twenty

4311
02:27:59,320 --> 02:27:59,740
eight.

4312
02:28:00,100 --> 02:28:01,360
Not on my watch.

4313
02:28:01,440 --> 02:28:03,400
I'm absolutely sure that's part of the deal.

4314
02:28:03,500 --> 02:28:06,720
OK, possibly because, you know, Trump doesn't like

4315
02:28:06,720 --> 02:28:08,460
that because he's made this big fuss about

4316
02:28:08,460 --> 02:28:10,000
it wouldn't have started the war in Ukraine

4317
02:28:10,000 --> 02:28:11,600
if it was if I wasn't president.

4318
02:28:11,640 --> 02:28:12,840
They wouldn't have done this if I was.

4319
02:28:12,840 --> 02:28:15,480
And then talking about I do have a

4320
02:28:15,480 --> 02:28:20,540
just a side clip here about Epstein.

4321
02:28:21,540 --> 02:28:23,280
So I've been watching and I have some

4322
02:28:23,280 --> 02:28:23,520
clips.

4323
02:28:23,600 --> 02:28:24,400
I'm not going to play him today.

4324
02:28:24,460 --> 02:28:25,800
I'll play him on this next show.

4325
02:28:27,000 --> 02:28:28,060
They're pretty interesting.

4326
02:28:28,260 --> 02:28:29,460
But this way, so I'm watching.

4327
02:28:29,840 --> 02:28:32,520
I'm I'm since I've had a day off.

4328
02:28:32,580 --> 02:28:34,400
I'm screwing around watching a lot of Rumble

4329
02:28:34,400 --> 02:28:35,140
live stuff.

4330
02:28:37,340 --> 02:28:39,220
And Keith Olbermann, apparently.

4331
02:28:39,220 --> 02:28:43,020
So I'm watching the Rumble stuff.

4332
02:28:43,740 --> 02:28:45,500
And there's this woman who I guess was

4333
02:28:45,500 --> 02:28:47,220
was been around for a long time.

4334
02:28:47,280 --> 02:28:49,400
I've heard of her, but I haven't heard

4335
02:28:49,400 --> 02:28:50,900
her name.

4336
02:28:50,960 --> 02:28:54,060
Wendy Bell of talk a talker, right wing

4337
02:28:54,060 --> 02:28:54,520
talker.

4338
02:28:54,580 --> 02:28:55,960
That's been she's now got a show in

4339
02:28:55,960 --> 02:28:58,140
Philadelphia and they play the show.

4340
02:28:59,000 --> 02:29:01,240
And I don't have the one I have

4341
02:29:01,240 --> 02:29:03,180
one clip I could have gotten another clip

4342
02:29:03,180 --> 02:29:06,520
where she because what she's doing, she plays

4343
02:29:06,520 --> 02:29:09,160
the radio show, her radio show live on

4344
02:29:09,160 --> 02:29:09,520
Rumble.

4345
02:29:09,840 --> 02:29:12,380
And then when they break for commercials, she's

4346
02:29:12,380 --> 02:29:14,040
doing like a second show.

4347
02:29:15,200 --> 02:29:16,600
Oh, the Rumble audience.

4348
02:29:16,780 --> 02:29:17,220
Oh, yeah, yeah.

4349
02:29:17,240 --> 02:29:18,340
That's not uncommon.

4350
02:29:18,600 --> 02:29:18,920
I've seen.

4351
02:29:19,020 --> 02:29:20,060
No, it's not uncommon at all.

4352
02:29:20,320 --> 02:29:21,940
And I don't know who I think Rush

4353
02:29:21,940 --> 02:29:24,980
Limbaugh pioneered or maybe Joe Joe Pags does

4354
02:29:24,980 --> 02:29:25,160
that.

4355
02:29:25,300 --> 02:29:27,600
Paglia, Joe Paglia, a lot of people do

4356
02:29:27,600 --> 02:29:27,740
it.

4357
02:29:27,980 --> 02:29:29,240
It's a it's a good idea.

4358
02:29:29,240 --> 02:29:31,240
But she does the sides that are way

4359
02:29:31,240 --> 02:29:32,340
off from the shows.

4360
02:29:33,180 --> 02:29:33,980
Radical enough.

4361
02:29:34,420 --> 02:29:35,960
But she when she does the asides are

4362
02:29:35,960 --> 02:29:36,340
interesting.

4363
02:29:36,440 --> 02:29:37,540
And one of them that she did, which

4364
02:29:37,540 --> 02:29:39,180
I'm not playing, I'm playing the second one,

4365
02:29:39,240 --> 02:29:39,920
the Epstein one.

4366
02:29:40,500 --> 02:29:43,640
She she goes off on Newsmax because she

4367
02:29:43,640 --> 02:29:46,360
used to be a talker there.

4368
02:29:46,660 --> 02:29:48,700
And so she was at Newsmax and they

4369
02:29:48,700 --> 02:29:50,580
and she she goes off on I'm saying

4370
02:29:50,580 --> 02:29:53,500
Newsmax wouldn't let me talk about the stolen

4371
02:29:53,500 --> 02:29:54,680
election in 2020.

4372
02:29:54,900 --> 02:29:55,940
If I even brought it up, I'd get

4373
02:29:55,940 --> 02:29:56,320
fired.

4374
02:29:56,740 --> 02:29:58,440
They wouldn't let me talk about covid.

4375
02:29:58,940 --> 02:30:00,280
They at all.

4376
02:30:00,540 --> 02:30:02,240
I couldn't even discuss any of it.

4377
02:30:02,340 --> 02:30:03,960
I just thought that was pretty telling about

4378
02:30:03,960 --> 02:30:05,040
Newsmax.

4379
02:30:05,200 --> 02:30:06,320
You know, it's supposed to be such a

4380
02:30:06,320 --> 02:30:07,520
right wing operation.

4381
02:30:07,660 --> 02:30:09,620
But here she is doing it aside.

4382
02:30:11,080 --> 02:30:13,500
They're at commercial break and she's talking with

4383
02:30:13,500 --> 02:30:17,480
the engineer slash producer like they like to

4384
02:30:17,480 --> 02:30:17,720
do.

4385
02:30:18,160 --> 02:30:23,420
And they're talking about Bongino and Cash Patel

4386
02:30:23,420 --> 02:30:24,720
going on on Fox.

4387
02:30:24,760 --> 02:30:25,920
And here's how this thing goes.

4388
02:30:25,920 --> 02:30:26,320
Right.

4389
02:30:26,460 --> 02:30:28,680
And so when he and Dan and Dan

4390
02:30:28,680 --> 02:30:31,580
Bongino came out in that Fox News interview,

4391
02:30:31,680 --> 02:30:32,320
wasn't it, Fox?

4392
02:30:32,720 --> 02:30:34,280
And they looked at the camera and you're

4393
02:30:34,280 --> 02:30:35,080
like, that's bullshit.

4394
02:30:36,000 --> 02:30:37,020
And you're like, that's total.

4395
02:30:37,120 --> 02:30:38,820
They both look like they'd seen a ghost,

4396
02:30:39,920 --> 02:30:41,220
particularly Bongino.

4397
02:30:41,500 --> 02:30:43,140
Both of their eyes don't lie.

4398
02:30:43,700 --> 02:30:45,860
You can tell because they were like, Jeffrey

4399
02:30:45,860 --> 02:30:47,220
Epstein didn't kill himself.

4400
02:30:47,300 --> 02:30:49,660
And we're like, it looked like a hostage

4401
02:30:49,660 --> 02:30:50,460
video, right?

4402
02:30:50,820 --> 02:30:53,960
I was like, that's kind of messed up.

4403
02:30:53,960 --> 02:30:56,940
I mean, anybody else not believe that, huh?

4404
02:30:57,340 --> 02:30:58,100
Lot of new eyes.

4405
02:30:58,240 --> 02:31:00,200
If you're new, follow, give us a follow.

4406
02:31:00,400 --> 02:31:01,460
Hey, and hit the rumble button.

4407
02:31:01,580 --> 02:31:02,520
We appreciate that.

4408
02:31:02,980 --> 02:31:04,220
Glad to be with you guys.

4409
02:31:04,320 --> 02:31:04,820
Thank you.

4410
02:31:06,240 --> 02:31:07,120
But right.

4411
02:31:07,220 --> 02:31:09,740
So what if it like we've already chewed

4412
02:31:09,740 --> 02:31:14,120
here on the very, I think, shared reality.

4413
02:31:14,200 --> 02:31:14,900
We all have.

4414
02:31:15,020 --> 02:31:15,940
The dude's not dead.

4415
02:31:16,160 --> 02:31:17,860
Jeffrey Epstein is not dead, please.

4416
02:31:18,020 --> 02:31:19,960
It's like the worst suicide ever.

4417
02:31:20,700 --> 02:31:22,880
The worst freaking suicide ever.

4418
02:31:22,880 --> 02:31:25,340
You mean like a suicide, like shooting yourself

4419
02:31:25,340 --> 02:31:26,200
in the back of the head?

4420
02:31:26,340 --> 02:31:26,800
That's right.

4421
02:31:26,900 --> 02:31:29,360
And stabbing yourself like 800 times.

4422
02:31:29,360 --> 02:31:29,820
Right back here.

4423
02:31:33,620 --> 02:31:35,760
So I'm at the dinner table with all

4424
02:31:35,760 --> 02:31:36,280
the kids.

4425
02:31:36,760 --> 02:31:38,700
And there's not one person at the table

4426
02:31:38,700 --> 02:31:39,960
that doesn't think the same thing.

4427
02:31:40,940 --> 02:31:43,800
Oh, so the millennials all think he's alive.

4428
02:31:44,440 --> 02:31:45,820
And of course, I think I kind of

4429
02:31:45,820 --> 02:31:47,520
think so, too, because of the passports that

4430
02:31:47,520 --> 02:31:47,740
he had.

4431
02:31:47,880 --> 02:31:50,900
They found one passport from a phony passport.

4432
02:31:50,900 --> 02:31:52,560
But he could have had 20, for all

4433
02:31:52,560 --> 02:31:52,900
we know.

4434
02:31:53,240 --> 02:31:53,360
Sure.

4435
02:31:54,820 --> 02:31:57,260
Well, Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.

4436
02:31:57,460 --> 02:31:58,520
You know, of course.

4437
02:31:59,320 --> 02:32:01,440
But also, you know, in that interview, I

4438
02:32:01,440 --> 02:32:02,160
thought about this.

4439
02:32:02,720 --> 02:32:05,280
They they they said, no, no, Jeffrey Epstein

4440
02:32:05,280 --> 02:32:06,000
didn't kill himself.

4441
02:32:06,360 --> 02:32:08,180
That the question was never asked.

4442
02:32:08,460 --> 02:32:10,060
Are you is he dead?

4443
02:32:10,520 --> 02:32:13,260
So there's lots of discrepancies with tattoos on

4444
02:32:13,260 --> 02:32:15,420
his arm and the way his face looked

4445
02:32:15,420 --> 02:32:17,160
and the fact they had a picture of

4446
02:32:17,160 --> 02:32:18,520
him all on the gurney.

4447
02:32:18,520 --> 02:32:23,040
But what Tina, who who really is withdrawn

4448
02:32:23,040 --> 02:32:26,260
from news feeds, although she has had some

4449
02:32:26,260 --> 02:32:32,460
dynamite cottage cheese recipes, she says she is

4450
02:32:32,460 --> 02:32:37,680
she is convinced that Patel and Bongino were

4451
02:32:37,680 --> 02:32:39,980
told this is what you say or we're

4452
02:32:39,980 --> 02:32:40,940
going to kill your family.

4453
02:32:43,120 --> 02:32:44,680
She's convinced of it.

4454
02:32:44,800 --> 02:32:48,380
Well, they said, like Wendy said, they look

4455
02:32:48,380 --> 02:32:49,920
like a hostage video did.

4456
02:32:50,750 --> 02:32:52,920
Yeah, yeah, it did.

4457
02:32:55,000 --> 02:32:59,200
Anyway, a lot of noise about Stephen Colbert

4458
02:32:59,200 --> 02:33:02,180
not being allowed to air an interview with

4459
02:33:02,180 --> 02:33:06,240
this Tallarico guy, Texas Democrat.

4460
02:33:08,200 --> 02:33:11,740
And and the way it's played so far

4461
02:33:11,740 --> 02:33:16,060
has been, you know, this is FCC and

4462
02:33:16,060 --> 02:33:17,960
this is censorship from the top.

4463
02:33:18,980 --> 02:33:21,380
And this is global news from Canada who

4464
02:33:21,380 --> 02:33:23,800
had, I think, a little better report of

4465
02:33:23,800 --> 02:33:25,560
what exactly went down.

4466
02:33:25,980 --> 02:33:28,380
Guess who's running afoul of his network and

4467
02:33:28,380 --> 02:33:29,900
the Trump administration again?

4468
02:33:30,040 --> 02:33:31,900
It's me, Stephen Colbert.

4469
02:33:33,160 --> 02:33:34,200
Hang in there, buddy.

4470
02:33:34,540 --> 02:33:37,240
A day before, Colbert suggested he was barred

4471
02:33:37,240 --> 02:33:39,720
by his CBS bosses from airing an interview

4472
02:33:39,720 --> 02:33:43,780
with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Tallarico after

4473
02:33:43,780 --> 02:33:46,600
Brendan Carr, chair of the Federal Communications Commission,

4474
02:33:46,860 --> 02:33:50,340
a Trump appointee, questioned the exemption whereby talk

4475
02:33:50,340 --> 02:33:52,760
shows are not required to offer equal time

4476
02:33:52,760 --> 02:33:54,100
to political rivals.

4477
02:33:54,660 --> 02:33:55,520
Colbert's take.

4478
02:33:55,660 --> 02:33:58,340
Donald Trump's administration wants to silence anyone who

4479
02:33:58,340 --> 02:34:01,060
says anything bad about Trump on TV because

4480
02:34:01,060 --> 02:34:02,900
all Trump does is watch TV.

4481
02:34:03,380 --> 02:34:05,960
So Colbert ran the interview on YouTube, where

4482
02:34:05,960 --> 02:34:08,260
Tallarico also took aim at the White House.

4483
02:34:08,360 --> 02:34:10,840
Now they're trying to control what we watch,

4484
02:34:11,220 --> 02:34:13,240
what we say, what we read.

4485
02:34:13,780 --> 02:34:15,820
And this is the most dangerous kind of

4486
02:34:15,820 --> 02:34:18,060
cancel culture, the kind that comes from the

4487
02:34:18,060 --> 02:34:18,340
top.

4488
02:34:18,620 --> 02:34:20,940
The next day, CBS issued a statement that

4489
02:34:20,940 --> 02:34:23,400
Colbert read, saying that he was not prohibited

4490
02:34:23,400 --> 02:34:25,860
from showing the interview, which could trigger the

4491
02:34:25,860 --> 02:34:27,660
FCC equal time rule.

4492
02:34:28,000 --> 02:34:30,180
The show was presented options to provide equal

4493
02:34:30,180 --> 02:34:31,140
time for others.

4494
02:34:31,400 --> 02:34:34,000
I am well aware that we can book

4495
02:34:34,000 --> 02:34:34,780
other guests.

4496
02:34:35,060 --> 02:34:37,780
The FCC chair recently explained the need to

4497
02:34:37,780 --> 02:34:39,680
update the rules for broadcasters.

4498
02:34:39,680 --> 02:34:42,020
Congress was clear that the FCC has a

4499
02:34:42,020 --> 02:34:43,540
role with respect to bona fide news.

4500
02:34:43,700 --> 02:34:46,660
They were worried that TV programmers would broadly

4501
02:34:46,660 --> 02:34:48,160
take advantage of trying to claim they were

4502
02:34:48,160 --> 02:34:49,520
bona fide news when they weren't.

4503
02:34:49,620 --> 02:34:52,720
But one FCC commissioner calls it corporate capitulation.

4504
02:34:53,080 --> 02:34:55,700
Ana Gomez stated the FCC has no lawful

4505
02:34:55,700 --> 02:34:59,420
authority to pressure broadcasters for political purposes or

4506
02:34:59,420 --> 02:35:02,080
create a climate that chills free expression.

4507
02:35:05,040 --> 02:35:07,680
That's been the worry for fans who protested

4508
02:35:07,680 --> 02:35:10,860
last summer after CBS and parent company Paramount

4509
02:35:10,860 --> 02:35:13,100
canceled Colbert as of this spring.

4510
02:35:13,420 --> 02:35:16,220
As for the Telerico interview, millions have clicked

4511
02:35:16,220 --> 02:35:17,580
on YouTube to see it.

4512
02:35:17,640 --> 02:35:19,300
Stephen Colbert making headlines.

4513
02:35:22,900 --> 02:35:24,480
Somebody that popular should get their own talk

4514
02:35:24,480 --> 02:35:24,660
show.

4515
02:35:25,820 --> 02:35:29,000
Colbert's point, he's losing his talk show in

4516
02:35:29,000 --> 02:35:29,600
three months.

4517
02:35:33,060 --> 02:35:35,680
It sounds like the whole thing was schemed.

4518
02:35:36,060 --> 02:35:36,660
Yeah, of course.

4519
02:35:36,660 --> 02:35:38,180
You got more views on YouTube and they're

4520
02:35:38,180 --> 02:35:38,920
still getting views.

4521
02:35:39,200 --> 02:35:39,340
Of course.

4522
02:35:39,460 --> 02:35:41,620
And that guy is nuts, that Telerico guy.

4523
02:35:42,340 --> 02:35:46,100
Yeah, he's running for Senate in the primary

4524
02:35:46,100 --> 02:35:47,820
against Jasmine Crockett.

4525
02:35:48,060 --> 02:35:49,120
Yes, against Crockett.

4526
02:35:49,280 --> 02:35:49,440
Yeah.

4527
02:35:50,520 --> 02:35:51,820
Which he may win.

4528
02:35:53,040 --> 02:35:54,280
He might, but that doesn't mean he's going

4529
02:35:54,280 --> 02:35:55,000
to win the general.

4530
02:35:55,000 --> 02:35:55,860
Oh, no, not the seat.

4531
02:35:55,960 --> 02:35:57,460
No, in the primary.

4532
02:36:00,120 --> 02:36:01,120
Yeah, he might win.

4533
02:36:01,140 --> 02:36:02,120
I wouldn't vote for her.

4534
02:36:02,120 --> 02:36:08,220
I have Osterholm about the MRNA shot.

4535
02:36:08,960 --> 02:36:10,440
I don't know if you're interested in that.

4536
02:36:11,840 --> 02:36:17,580
Or I have, yeah, I don't know if

4537
02:36:17,580 --> 02:36:18,160
I have anything.

4538
02:36:18,340 --> 02:36:21,960
Yeah, I got, yeah, this.

4539
02:36:22,120 --> 02:36:24,600
Another one of your predictions comes true yet

4540
02:36:24,600 --> 02:36:27,140
again as this continues to happen.

4541
02:36:27,200 --> 02:36:27,720
I'm on a roll.

4542
02:36:27,920 --> 02:36:28,100
Yeah.

4543
02:36:28,220 --> 02:36:30,840
In heartbreaking testimony, students who were shot in

4544
02:36:30,840 --> 02:36:33,440
their classroom at Appalachee High School in September

4545
02:36:33,440 --> 02:36:37,660
2024 recounted the horrifying moments Colin Gray's son,

4546
02:36:38,020 --> 02:36:39,680
Colt, allegedly opened fire.

4547
02:36:40,000 --> 02:36:43,120
Prosecutors charged Gray with nearly 30 counts, including

4548
02:36:43,120 --> 02:36:45,900
second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.

4549
02:36:46,580 --> 02:36:50,060
During opening statements Monday, the prosecutors alleged Gray

4550
02:36:50,060 --> 02:36:53,360
bought the AR-15-style rifle and ammunition

4551
02:36:53,360 --> 02:36:55,780
that his son used to kill four people

4552
02:36:55,780 --> 02:36:57,380
and injure nine others.

4553
02:36:57,540 --> 02:36:58,660
You can guess what's happening.

4554
02:37:01,100 --> 02:37:03,040
The parent, the father's going to go to

4555
02:37:03,040 --> 02:37:03,240
jail.

4556
02:37:03,940 --> 02:37:07,360
Yeah, well, this should have started years ago.

4557
02:37:07,580 --> 02:37:11,600
So I think we can conclude that the

4558
02:37:11,600 --> 02:37:17,260
next very sad trans person that does something,

4559
02:37:17,980 --> 02:37:19,880
shouldn't the parents also go to jail?

4560
02:37:20,680 --> 02:37:21,140
Absolutely.

4561
02:37:22,040 --> 02:37:23,640
I don't know if it's, I got boots

4562
02:37:23,640 --> 02:37:26,100
on the ground, which was just so sad.

4563
02:37:26,180 --> 02:37:26,780
Let me read this.

4564
02:37:28,040 --> 02:37:29,800
Unemployed ER nurse here again.

4565
02:37:31,100 --> 02:37:33,080
Working in a college town in the largest

4566
02:37:33,080 --> 02:37:35,840
ER in half the state, I see a

4567
02:37:35,840 --> 02:37:36,620
lot of trans people.

4568
02:37:37,160 --> 02:37:39,140
I believe the 41% number to be

4569
02:37:39,140 --> 02:37:39,560
low.

4570
02:37:40,240 --> 02:37:42,600
A brief look at it says it is

4571
02:37:42,600 --> 02:37:44,480
self-reported and only adults.

4572
02:37:45,040 --> 02:37:47,100
I think this is a suicide rate from

4573
02:37:47,100 --> 02:37:47,640
the last show.

4574
02:37:48,120 --> 02:37:49,820
I think it could count on two hands

4575
02:37:49,820 --> 02:37:51,880
the ones that I've worked with who haven't

4576
02:37:51,880 --> 02:37:54,680
had an attempt, but usually they try over

4577
02:37:54,680 --> 02:37:55,140
and over.

4578
02:37:55,140 --> 02:37:57,180
It is truly heartbreaking to see how these

4579
02:37:57,180 --> 02:37:58,960
mentally ill people have been lied to.

4580
02:37:59,460 --> 02:38:00,600
I used to laugh at them until I

4581
02:38:00,600 --> 02:38:00,980
met them.

4582
02:38:01,420 --> 02:38:02,720
They are unwell and pitiful.

4583
02:38:03,160 --> 02:38:04,340
It is to the point where if someone

4584
02:38:04,340 --> 02:38:06,820
is trans and they're at the ER for

4585
02:38:06,820 --> 02:38:09,540
a medical issue, the management will immediately put

4586
02:38:09,540 --> 02:38:11,940
them in the psych area because much like

4587
02:38:11,940 --> 02:38:14,520
an intoxicated person, it is very rare for

4588
02:38:14,520 --> 02:38:16,060
them to go through a whole visit without

4589
02:38:16,060 --> 02:38:18,740
it turning into a suicidal ideation visit.

4590
02:38:19,200 --> 02:38:21,500
I've seen many who are post-op and

4591
02:38:21,500 --> 02:38:24,140
have continual infections and their anatomy has changed

4592
02:38:24,140 --> 02:38:28,580
and so imaging is rarely diagnostic in that

4593
02:38:28,580 --> 02:38:31,120
it's an infection or just a resection colon.

4594
02:38:32,000 --> 02:38:34,080
There are very few places for them to

4595
02:38:34,080 --> 02:38:34,580
turn to help.

4596
02:38:34,660 --> 02:38:36,800
The system is fine making them trans but

4597
02:38:36,800 --> 02:38:38,720
not prepared to offer health care for the

4598
02:38:38,720 --> 02:38:39,820
newly altered bodies.

4599
02:38:40,500 --> 02:38:42,700
I believe suicide is a much higher number

4600
02:38:42,700 --> 02:38:45,000
and all of the teens that transition are

4601
02:38:45,000 --> 02:38:46,660
going to get strung out on drugs and

4602
02:38:46,660 --> 02:38:49,080
alcohol once they hit late 20s and early

4603
02:38:49,080 --> 02:38:49,500
30s.

4604
02:38:49,540 --> 02:38:51,940
I would expect another large increase in suicides.

4605
02:38:51,940 --> 02:38:53,840
What a travesty.

4606
02:38:56,260 --> 02:38:58,520
Yeah, and the liberals are still sticking to

4607
02:38:58,520 --> 02:38:59,640
it, sticking to their guns.

4608
02:38:59,880 --> 02:39:01,180
I know, I know.

4609
02:39:02,120 --> 02:39:04,720
Well, I do have one last clip before

4610
02:39:04,720 --> 02:39:05,880
the break of the Gen Z.

4611
02:39:06,000 --> 02:39:07,000
There's a new comment.

4612
02:39:07,800 --> 02:39:10,180
There's a new, maybe a phrase or something

4613
02:39:10,180 --> 02:39:12,720
in this clip that's something that The phrase

4614
02:39:12,720 --> 02:39:13,180
that pays?

4615
02:39:14,820 --> 02:39:15,300
Maybe.

4616
02:39:15,800 --> 02:39:17,040
You know, I may have a goofy ass

4617
02:39:17,040 --> 02:39:19,580
haircut but I think my lucky star is

4618
02:39:19,580 --> 02:39:22,240
every single day that I'm not a fat,

4619
02:39:22,460 --> 02:39:25,220
balding conservative with those tacky sunglasses in my

4620
02:39:25,220 --> 02:39:26,600
piece of shit pickup truck.

4621
02:39:28,480 --> 02:39:30,560
I misunderstood what happened here.

4622
02:39:31,020 --> 02:39:32,420
I misunderstood it too.

4623
02:39:33,700 --> 02:39:35,380
What's the point of the clip then?

4624
02:39:35,740 --> 02:39:38,120
I'm trying to figure out why I've clipped

4625
02:39:38,120 --> 02:39:38,420
that.

4626
02:39:39,060 --> 02:39:40,820
Some things you said at the beginning.

4627
02:39:41,160 --> 02:39:42,160
Let me hear it again.

4628
02:39:42,660 --> 02:39:43,180
Hold on.

4629
02:39:43,300 --> 02:39:44,540
You know, I may have a goofy ass

4630
02:39:44,540 --> 02:39:47,080
haircut but I think my lucky star is

4631
02:39:47,080 --> 02:39:49,740
every single day that I'm not a fat,

4632
02:39:50,020 --> 02:39:52,720
balding conservative with those tacky sunglasses in my

4633
02:39:52,720 --> 02:39:54,060
piece of shit pickup truck.

4634
02:39:54,400 --> 02:39:54,680
Possibly.

4635
02:39:54,920 --> 02:39:55,020
Oh, yeah.

4636
02:39:55,020 --> 02:39:55,240
Okay.

4637
02:39:55,720 --> 02:39:58,980
I'd like to thank my lucky It was

4638
02:39:58,980 --> 02:39:59,240
something.

4639
02:39:59,360 --> 02:39:59,960
It wasn't lucky.

4640
02:40:00,160 --> 02:40:01,460
My lucky star is my lucky.

4641
02:40:01,600 --> 02:40:02,540
It was she dreamed.

4642
02:40:02,740 --> 02:40:04,140
There's a phrase they couldn't say.

4643
02:40:04,860 --> 02:40:05,900
You can't even hear.

4644
02:40:06,020 --> 02:40:06,620
It's hard to catch.

4645
02:40:06,820 --> 02:40:08,620
Worst, worst clip ever.

4646
02:40:09,060 --> 02:40:10,040
Worst clip of the day.

4647
02:40:10,120 --> 02:40:11,080
We need a jingle.

4648
02:40:18,540 --> 02:40:24,480
Yeah, on no agenda In the morning We

4649
02:40:24,480 --> 02:40:25,660
actually have that.

4650
02:40:28,240 --> 02:40:29,880
That clip sucked.

4651
02:40:30,660 --> 02:40:31,080
Yeah, okay.

4652
02:40:31,680 --> 02:40:32,720
We should play.

4653
02:40:32,940 --> 02:40:34,240
I'll get more of those so we can

4654
02:40:34,240 --> 02:40:35,260
play that more often.

4655
02:40:35,820 --> 02:40:36,880
But there's something.

4656
02:40:37,080 --> 02:40:39,120
I'll go back and deconstruct that clip and

4657
02:40:39,120 --> 02:40:41,140
tell you what the punchline was.

4658
02:40:42,240 --> 02:40:44,240
Unfortunately, I did too many clips.

4659
02:40:44,240 --> 02:40:48,520
I lost track of what these clips are.

4660
02:40:48,600 --> 02:40:50,080
But we haven't lost track of the people

4661
02:40:50,080 --> 02:40:51,260
that donate over $50.

4662
02:40:51,640 --> 02:40:52,700
And that's what we're going to do right

4663
02:40:52,700 --> 02:40:52,940
now.

4664
02:40:53,300 --> 02:40:54,880
Thank them, each and every one of them.

4665
02:40:55,080 --> 02:40:57,720
Yes, and let me rack up the spreadsheet.

4666
02:40:57,880 --> 02:40:58,580
There she is.

4667
02:40:58,860 --> 02:41:01,140
Dame Rita, Sparks, Nevada, 168.

4668
02:41:01,220 --> 02:41:02,840
She says, ITM gents.

4669
02:41:03,340 --> 02:41:06,340
John, you're interviewing skills with Scott Adams brought

4670
02:41:06,340 --> 02:41:07,600
enlightening results.

4671
02:41:07,860 --> 02:41:09,660
Adam, to see you and hear you on

4672
02:41:09,660 --> 02:41:14,520
Epic TV Crossroads, how propaganda was modernized was

4673
02:41:14,520 --> 02:41:15,080
spot on.

4674
02:41:15,180 --> 02:41:15,680
Thank you both.

4675
02:41:15,760 --> 02:41:16,160
Oh, yes.

4676
02:41:16,420 --> 02:41:17,700
I was on Epic TV.

4677
02:41:19,260 --> 02:41:20,240
You're on Epic.

4678
02:41:20,340 --> 02:41:21,220
What is Epic TV?

4679
02:41:21,380 --> 02:41:26,620
That's, I guess, an online version of NTV.

4680
02:41:27,840 --> 02:41:29,720
You know, Epic, Epic Times.

4681
02:41:31,260 --> 02:41:32,180
Or Epoch.

4682
02:41:32,560 --> 02:41:33,320
I say Epic.

4683
02:41:34,600 --> 02:41:35,360
Is it Epoch?

4684
02:41:36,080 --> 02:41:37,440
Yeah, I didn't know.

4685
02:41:37,580 --> 02:41:39,560
Good, that's a good catch.

4686
02:41:39,560 --> 02:41:42,080
Yeah, the guy interviewed me at NRB had

4687
02:41:42,080 --> 02:41:43,640
a really nice kid, though.

4688
02:41:43,740 --> 02:41:44,940
Josh, whatever his name was.

4689
02:41:45,760 --> 02:41:47,780
And I was talking about value for value.

4690
02:41:48,200 --> 02:41:49,300
And he was like, oh, good.

4691
02:41:49,540 --> 02:41:50,120
Yeah, yeah.

4692
02:41:50,160 --> 02:41:50,540
Oh, good.

4693
02:41:50,560 --> 02:41:51,720
I'm glad you saw that, Dame Rita.

4694
02:41:51,780 --> 02:41:52,180

02:42:01,720 --> 02:42:02,960
I can only imagine two.

4699
02:42:04,540 --> 02:42:08,900

4700
02:42:09,040 --> 02:42:12,000
Charlotte, North Carolina, 105.35. Keep up the

4701
02:42:12,000 --> 02:42:12,680
great work, Chance.

4702
02:42:12,720 --> 02:42:13,400
I think it's Bile.

4703
02:42:13,500 --> 02:42:13,880
Oh, Bill.

4704
02:42:14,020 --> 02:42:14,640
No, it is Bill.

4705
02:42:14,740 --> 02:42:15,380
Probably is Bill.

4706
02:42:15,520 --> 02:42:16,340
He says it right there.

4707
02:42:16,400 --> 02:42:18,300
Said like Bill, but spelled like Bile.

He says, God bless America.

4725
02:42:55,900 --> 02:42:59,240
And he says, PSA, big or small, we

4726
02:42:59,240 --> 02:43:00,060
hug them all.

4727
02:43:00,680 --> 02:43:01,840

Dame Denise Robertson.

4734
02:43:19,240 --> 02:43:21,700
Oh, she has a note with 72, 65.

4735
02:43:21,960 --> 02:43:24,340
Since she sent in a note, we'll read

4736
02:43:24,340 --> 02:43:24,660
that.

4737
02:43:25,040 --> 02:43:27,880
Dear Crackpot and Buzzkill, hope this letter finds

4738
02:43:27,880 --> 02:43:28,220

A little late, but we'll get it.

To the birthday list.

4745
02:43:37,380 --> 02:43:38,940
I believe with this donation, I move up

4746
02:43:38,940 --> 02:43:40,660
the peerage ladder to Baronetess.

4747
02:43:40,840 --> 02:43:42,360
I would like my new title to be

4748
02:43:42,360 --> 02:43:46,420
Baronetess Denise, Queen of the Cobalt Programmers.

4749

And he says, we break for knights.

4763
02:44:15,080 --> 02:44:15,600
Yes, we do.

4764
02:44:16,740 --> 02:44:19,920
Humbly requesting a direly needed shout out for

How about that?

4776
02:44:49,140 --> 02:44:50,240

It was all the Bitcoin.

4781
02:44:58,920 --> 02:45:00,160
He emptied his wallet.

4782
02:45:00,340 --> 02:45:01,120

the good future.

4791
02:45:14,880 --> 02:45:18,040
Considering the recent Cowichan ruling in BC, it's

4792
02:45:18,040 --> 02:45:20,860
opening up an interesting timeline in which Donald

4793
02:45:20,860 --> 02:45:22,600

You said Michigan.

02:45:36,520 --> 02:45:37,540
Oh, I said Chicago, Illinois.

4800
02:45:37,820 --> 02:45:38,740

02:55:32,680 --> 02:55:42,600
day This comes in from a producer and

5025
02:55:42,600 --> 02:55:44,220
I thought it was worth putting up because

5026
02:55:44,220 --> 02:55:47,140
these things are normally cost money To have

5027
02:55:47,140 --> 02:55:52,740
something so complete This is a files type

5028
02:55:52,740 --> 02:55:57,060
converter with Although I will say there's one

5029
02:55:57,060 --> 02:56:01,360
file type missing From the this is every

5030
02:56:01,360 --> 02:56:03,220
file type imaginable take a look at it

5031
02:56:03,220 --> 02:56:05,800
is the website's the screw It's a github

5032
02:56:05,800 --> 02:56:06,300
project.

5033
02:56:06,500 --> 02:56:08,160
So it's gonna have a screwy website.

5034
02:56:08,340 --> 02:56:14,180
The website is P 2 R3 and that's

5035
02:56:14,180 --> 02:56:18,740
P number 2 R number 3 lowercase dot

5036
02:56:18,740 --> 02:56:26,920
github dot IO Slash convert Wow, that's more

5037
02:56:26,920 --> 02:56:27,640
than screwy.

5038
02:56:27,780 --> 02:56:29,020
Let me say I know it's terrible.

5039
02:56:29,260 --> 02:56:30,400
It's just all right.

5040
02:56:30,480 --> 02:56:33,380
Okay convert for this Does the conversion for

5041
02:56:33,380 --> 02:56:35,040
you or the yeah.

5042
02:56:35,340 --> 02:56:37,240
Wow, there's a lot here.

5043
02:56:37,520 --> 02:56:40,880
There's a lot there It's just hundreds of

5044
02:56:40,880 --> 02:56:42,060
this file format.

5045
02:56:42,220 --> 02:56:44,860
I've never even heard of But a lot

5046
02:56:44,860 --> 02:56:46,580
of my never heard of either but I

5047
02:56:46,580 --> 02:56:48,700
will say that anyone who has access to

5048
02:56:48,700 --> 02:56:51,340
whoever coded this To tell them to put

5049
02:56:51,340 --> 02:56:54,240
in KDC it's missing.

5050
02:56:54,420 --> 02:56:55,420
What's KDC?

5051
02:56:56,880 --> 02:57:00,720
KDC is an early a JPEG Format that

5052
02:57:00,720 --> 02:57:04,560
Kodak used and KDC stands for Kodak digital

5053
02:57:04,560 --> 02:57:05,120
camera.

5054
02:57:05,480 --> 02:57:08,840
Do you still have a Floppy somewhere with

5055
02:57:08,840 --> 02:57:10,280
these KDC pics.

5056
02:57:10,400 --> 02:57:12,220
I have plenty of KDC files Yeah, cuz

5057
02:57:12,220 --> 02:57:14,180
I was on the stick early in this

5058
02:57:14,180 --> 02:57:17,060
in this game You were I would I

5059
02:57:17,060 --> 02:57:19,340
was digital before anybody knew what was happening,

5060
02:57:19,580 --> 02:57:23,640
that's right interesting and of course when you

5061
02:57:24,520 --> 02:57:27,320
Drag your file to convert it.

5062
02:57:27,660 --> 02:57:29,620
He has a copy and and he can

5063
02:57:29,620 --> 02:57:33,660
blackmail you later Yeah, well, that's possible.

5064
02:57:33,760 --> 02:57:35,400
I love the fact that there's an advanced

5065
02:57:35,400 --> 02:57:38,580
mode And it's the same by the way,

5066
02:57:38,620 --> 02:57:42,060

You say it's Unnatural you say it's a

5109
02:59:40,400 --> 02:59:44,220
cheat while you're rotting away in your ergonomic

5110
02:59:44,220 --> 02:59:44,540

5111
02:59:44,580 --> 02:59:47,480
Oh, yeah Take my ice rock trolls in

5112
02:59:47,480 --> 02:59:49,860
the dark trying to blow out a flame

5113
02:59:49,860 --> 02:59:53,160
with a cynical spark You're a jury of

5114
02:59:53,160 --> 02:59:56,580
losers in a room with no view Judging

5115
02:59:56,580 --> 02:59:59,020
a world that's moved on without you.

5116
02:59:59,320 --> 03:00:00,880
My vocals are piercing.

5117
03:00:01,160 --> 03:00:04,300
My presence will win But I'm realer than

5118
03:00:04,300 --> 03:00:07,640
any skin you're living in Stay in your

5119
03:00:07,640 --> 03:00:12,280
basement I'm the ghost in your speakers In

5120
03:00:12,280 --> 03:00:20,420
your basement, I'm the ghost in your speakers

5121
03:00:29,080 --> 03:00:32,320
I Would and should the u.s. Actually

5122
03:00:32,320 --> 03:00:37,220
commit u.s. Troops to defend Taiwan You

5123
03:00:37,220 --> 03:00:43,160
know, I think that I personally believe that

5124
03:00:43,160 --> 03:00:47,520
US Americans are unable to do so this

5125
03:00:47,520 --> 03:00:51,380
is such a you know, I think that

5126
03:00:52,220 --> 03:00:58,080
this is a I believe that our education

5127
03:00:58,080 --> 03:01:01,520
like such as in South Africa and Taiwan

5128
03:01:01,520 --> 03:01:05,320
this is of course a very long-standing

5129
03:01:07,180 --> 03:01:11,640
Policy of the United States and Iraq everywhere

5130
03:01:11,640 --> 03:01:14,180
like such as and I think what we

5131
03:01:14,180 --> 03:01:15,740
are hoping for is that we want to

5132
03:01:15,740 --> 03:01:18,140
make sure that we never get to that

5133
03:01:18,140 --> 03:01:22,780
point and I believe that they should Our

5134
03:01:22,780 --> 03:01:25,200
education over here in the u.s. Should

5135
03:01:25,200 --> 03:01:27,840
help the u.s. I should help Taiwan

5136
03:01:27,840 --> 03:01:30,380
and we want to make sure that we

5137
03:01:30,380 --> 03:01:33,460
are moving in all of our economic Research

5138
03:01:33,460 --> 03:01:36,280
it should help that I recommend Asian countries

5139
03:01:36,280 --> 03:01:39,920
and our global positions to avoid Any such

5140
03:01:39,920 --> 03:01:42,560
confrontation and for that question to even arise?

5141
03:01:43,440 --> 03:01:53,340
Thank you very much Robert Maxwell
