1
00:00:00,260 --> 00:00:01,100
It would be outrageous.

2
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:03,420
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:03,580 --> 00:00:03,960
Devorah.

4
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,160
It's Tuesday, January 26, 2025.

5
00:00:06,540 --> 00:00:07,860
This is your award-winning Kip on Asian

6
00:00:07,860 --> 00:00:09,620
Media assassination episode 1733.

7
00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:12,220
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:17,380
Busting up churches and schools and broadcasting live

9
00:00:17,380 --> 00:00:19,100
from the heart of the Texas Hill Country

10
00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:20,960
here in FEMA region number 6.

11
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:23,700
In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

12
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:27,140
And for the Northern Silicon Valley where it's

13
00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:28,760
supposed to rain, it's not raining, I don't

14
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:29,900
know, I got nothing else to say.

15
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:30,340
I'm John C.

16
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:30,660
Devorah.

17
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,800
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.

18
00:00:33,020 --> 00:00:34,000
In the morning.

19
00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:38,980
Ah, I caught you unawares and unprepared.

20
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,960
Ooh, made another rhyme.

21
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:41,640
Yeah.

22
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:44,800
No, I knocked over a drink.

23
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:45,620
Oh, no.

24
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:47,640
Just before we started, so I'm in the

25
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,200
process of cleaning up the mess.

26
00:00:49,420 --> 00:00:50,660
What was the drink?

27
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,400
The concoction that I make.

28
00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:54,940
Oh, that thing.

29
00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:56,220
Oh, that was one's tip of the day.

30
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,840
Yeah, that was one time tip of the

31
00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:58,960
day.

32
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,980
Luckily the glass wasn't full of it because

33
00:01:00,980 --> 00:01:03,220
I had drunk most of it, but it's

34
00:01:03,220 --> 00:01:05,960
a gooey material that is not easy to

35
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:06,320
get off.

36
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,580
No, and is it in the gear?

37
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,360
Is it in the gear?

38
00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:12,820
No, no, it fell over into the, it's

39
00:01:12,820 --> 00:01:13,780
a long story.

40
00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:14,960
It's not in the gear, no.

41
00:01:14,980 --> 00:01:17,080
It's the chia seeds, they're everywhere, people.

42
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,080
It did fall over where this is.

43
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:20,300
Oh, no.

44
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,180
Hey, I want to congratulate Ashlyn Speed on

45
00:01:25,180 --> 00:01:27,600
her first Mazda race at Daytona.

46
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,300
Did you see it?

47
00:01:29,180 --> 00:01:30,340
Yeah, she posted it.

48
00:01:30,580 --> 00:01:34,500
Yeah, she was cautious and did not get

49
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,500
entwined in the massive wreck they had.

50
00:01:39,580 --> 00:01:40,840
That was pretty amazing.

51
00:01:41,860 --> 00:01:42,860
You saw that big crash?

52
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,180
Yeah, yeah.

53
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,800
So she came 16 out of 34.

54
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:48,080
She was cautious.

55
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,700
Her first race, though, first race on Daytona.

56
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:52,640
I could not be more proud of her.

57
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,440
It's a good start.

58
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,400
You watch.

59
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,000
That young lady has a future.

60
00:01:59,060 --> 00:01:59,740
And we...

61
00:01:59,740 --> 00:02:01,840
We have our autographed picture, so we're good

62
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,100
to go.

63
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,340
I did not see no agenda on the

64
00:02:05,340 --> 00:02:06,120
car anywhere.

65
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,560
Yeah, you know what?

66
00:02:08,699 --> 00:02:09,740
Those days are over.

67
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,380
It's over.

68
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,180
We'll be happy we can get a PID

69
00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:12,560
pass.

70
00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:16,920
Yeah, you got that right.

71
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,280
That's the way it is.

72
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,320
So, man, I constantly have the White House

73
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,900
news page up these days.

74
00:02:25,060 --> 00:02:26,260
You know, I just walk by the computer.

75
00:02:26,340 --> 00:02:27,180
Let me do a little refresh.

76
00:02:27,340 --> 00:02:28,520
Oh, wait, there's something new.

77
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,220
It's amazing what has been happening in the

78
00:02:32,220 --> 00:02:33,460
past week.

79
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,360
Well, give us an update.

80
00:02:34,860 --> 00:02:36,420
Have you seen this?

81
00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:38,640
As I continue to clean up this mess.

82
00:02:38,660 --> 00:02:39,200
Oh, okay.

83
00:02:39,380 --> 00:02:41,100
Well, while you continue to clean up the

84
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:42,480
mess, I'm going to set you up for

85
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,440
your 3x3.

86
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,060
I believe we should definitely start with...

87
00:02:48,340 --> 00:02:51,520
We should start with replacement migration in the

88
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,260
United States.

89
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,920
Let's kick it off with this.

90
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:58,780
Some 1,500 active Marine and Army personnel

91
00:02:58,780 --> 00:03:02,500
have begun a new mission to bolster security

92
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:03,280
at the U.S.-Mexico...

93
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:03,800
Hold on a second.

94
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,340
Yes?

95
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:06,940
That girl's voice sounds like the voice that

96
00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:08,500
we have on our clips that we're going

97
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:09,040
to die.

98
00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:11,960
We're going to die, girl.

99
00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:12,700
Does she really?

100
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,920
Hold on a second.

101
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,720
Let me see if I can match her.

102
00:03:17,860 --> 00:03:18,760
Let's see.

103
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:21,860
Here we go.

104
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:28,800
Some 1,500 active Marine and Army personnel

105
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,980
have begun a new mission to bolster security

106
00:03:32,980 --> 00:03:34,820
at the U.S.-Mexico border.

107
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:38,460
Among those deployed near San Diego, Marines from

108
00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:39,160
Camp Pendleton.

109
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:43,480
These service members will be providing ground and

110
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,680
air support to assist troops already deployed.

111
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:48,920
I should probably point out that the chopper

112
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,200
sound you hear is the Osprey landing, which

113
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,820
just gave it a perfect visual.

114
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,600
Like, oh, there's that thing landing.

115
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:56,800
It's all over now.

116
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,600
As well as customs and border protection secure

117
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,320
the border.

118
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,080
What?

119
00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:06,780
By the way, I saw this clip and

120
00:04:07,860 --> 00:04:10,140
are you telling me they're hauling people out

121
00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:11,680
of the country in Ospreys?

122
00:04:11,820 --> 00:04:12,160
No, no.

123
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,400
That's where they land the troops.

124
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:14,900
They couldn't drive, you see.

125
00:04:14,980 --> 00:04:16,740
We had to make it look cool and

126
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:17,880
spend a little extra.

127
00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:19,680
So instead of driving to the border, they

128
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,839
flew them in the Ospreys.

129
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,240
No, no.

130
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:23,780
We're taking people out in C-130s.

131
00:04:24,220 --> 00:04:24,580
Yeah, I know.

132
00:04:24,740 --> 00:04:25,580
That's what I noticed.

133
00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:27,760
But they kept showing these Osprey pics.

134
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:29,940
Those things are expensive to operate.

135
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,160
Very, very expensive.

136
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,040
And they're dangerous.

137
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,200
I would say so.

138
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,640
They'll also be assisting in the construction of

139
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,600
physical barriers.

140
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,780
This marks the first batch deployed by the

141
00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:40,980
Department of Defense.

142
00:04:41,340 --> 00:04:44,900
Following President Donald Trump's executive order to shut

143
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:48,040
down all migrant entries at the southern border.

144
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:51,800
Border security was one of Trump's campaign promises.

145
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,980
The American people have been waiting for such

146
00:04:54,980 --> 00:04:57,920
a time as this for our department.

147
00:04:57,940 --> 00:04:59,160
That's the new girl?

148
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:00,460
What's her name?

149
00:05:00,740 --> 00:05:02,480
The new press secretary girl?

150
00:05:03,420 --> 00:05:04,880
Yeah, I can't remember her name yet.

151
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,260
Do you hear what she does there?

152
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,580
Yeah, she sounds like another clip that we

153
00:05:09,580 --> 00:05:09,900
have.

154
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:12,540
She throws out an Esther Mordecai for such

155
00:05:12,540 --> 00:05:13,300
a time as this.

156
00:05:13,460 --> 00:05:15,900
The American people have been waiting for such

157
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:16,880
a time as this.

158
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
For our Department of Defense to actually take

159
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,440
homeland security seriously.

160
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,280
This is the number one priority of the

161
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:24,960
American people and the President is already delivering.

162
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,300
Military airlifts deporting illegal immigrants have also begun.

163
00:05:29,860 --> 00:05:33,940
Several flights carrying hundreds of Guatemalan migrants arrived

164
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:37,120
in Guatemala Friday from Arizona and Texas.

165
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,920
However, not everyone is welcoming this news.

166
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,860
I don't think we need troops in El

167
00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:43,280
Paso.

168
00:05:43,460 --> 00:05:45,160
I go back to saying we're a very

169
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:45,960
safe community.

170
00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:48,340
ICE raids have been taking place in many

171
00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:49,780
cities across the country.

172
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,920
ICE posted on social media there have been

173
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:58,600
593 arrests and 449 detainers lodged.

174
00:05:58,980 --> 00:06:03,020
They also posted that targeted enforcement operations are

175
00:06:03,020 --> 00:06:06,380
planned arrests of known criminal aliens who threaten

176
00:06:06,380 --> 00:06:08,840
national security or public safety.

177
00:06:09,140 --> 00:06:11,580
But this will not stand, say the Democrats

178
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:12,180
everywhere.

179
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,800
Connecticut has never quit on people.

180
00:06:16,260 --> 00:06:18,060
We're never going to surrender and I am

181
00:06:18,060 --> 00:06:19,100
never going to back down.

182
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,420
We are here to fight.

183
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:22,540
You come through my people.

184
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,260
You come through me.

185
00:06:24,860 --> 00:06:27,580
Our five member delegation is planning to push

186
00:06:27,580 --> 00:06:28,460
back, fight back.

187
00:06:28,540 --> 00:06:32,640
Presidents in this country have broad powers, but

188
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:33,400
they are not kings.

189
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,180
We will not do ICE's job for them

190
00:06:35,180 --> 00:06:36,060
on a whole number of fronts.

191
00:06:36,220 --> 00:06:37,920
We're not going to do federal immigration enforcement.

192
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,900
If there is any attack on the Garden

193
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,680
State or on any of its communities from

194
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,960
Washington, I will fight back with every fiber

195
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,220
of my being.

196
00:06:48,460 --> 00:06:50,040
I have one message for President Trump.

197
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,460
I'll see you in court.

198
00:06:51,780 --> 00:06:53,440
Alright, alright, alright.

199
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,020
Well, most of the country...

200
00:06:56,020 --> 00:06:56,740
These guys are big talkers.

201
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,080
Oh, yeah.

202
00:06:57,140 --> 00:06:58,940
Most of the country seems pretty happy with

203
00:06:58,940 --> 00:06:59,720
the criminals.

204
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:04,720
It's only removing criminals like, well, ICE can

205
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,280
go into schools and churches.

206
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,560
These are sanctuaries.

207
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:10,460
There is no evidence of even the word

208
00:07:10,460 --> 00:07:12,340
school or church in any of these executive

209
00:07:12,340 --> 00:07:12,840
orders.

210
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,160
I'm not quite sure where they get that

211
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:15,520
from.

212
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,300
And the numbers are not that massive.

213
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:21,200
When you talk about mass immigrations, if you

214
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,860
do the calculation, a Holman...

215
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:25,080
It was on one of the shows.

216
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,600
I like Holman because he's so funny.

217
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,940
Yeah, we're going to arrest everybody.

218
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:29,640
We're going to kill everybody.

219
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,900
Tough guy.

220
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,340
They're doing like 300 to 500, let's say,

221
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,700
a day, and they're going to do it

222
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:37,240
for every day.

223
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,240
Of course, everyone's all upset.

224
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,360
Oh, every day, every day.

225
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,060
That's $15,000 a month max.

226
00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:42,640
Yeah.

227
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,020
Which is what?

228
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:47,000
A hundred is less than $200,000 a

229
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,280
year.

230
00:07:47,540 --> 00:07:49,640
There's millions we're talking about here, and they're

231
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,180
going to maybe get $200,000 out, maybe?

232
00:07:53,540 --> 00:07:56,820
But this is, as was campaigned on, these

233
00:07:56,820 --> 00:07:58,280
are the criminal elements.

234
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,660
There's no evidence of them going after anyone

235
00:08:01,660 --> 00:08:03,760
else except for the criminals at the moment,

236
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,900
which I think was always the intent.

237
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:08,640
People run around, are they going to deport

238
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:09,340
11 million?

239
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:10,440
I don't think so.

240
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,960
At the numbers they're going, it would take

241
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,200
them, well, if it's, say, $200,000 a

242
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,760
year to get to a million, it would

243
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,640
take 10 years.

244
00:08:18,780 --> 00:08:19,760
Come on.

245
00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:22,880
But at least they got something to yammer

246
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,300
about.

247
00:08:28,350 --> 00:08:28,990
Yammer.

248
00:08:29,210 --> 00:08:31,270
Yeah, yammer about.

249
00:08:32,110 --> 00:08:33,750
Well, there's a couple of things.

250
00:08:34,010 --> 00:08:38,370
This is screwing with some business models out

251
00:08:38,370 --> 00:08:38,650
there.

252
00:08:39,950 --> 00:08:42,710
So it's a real problem for some people

253
00:08:42,710 --> 00:08:47,550
that President Trump has stopped the amnesty, we

254
00:08:47,550 --> 00:08:49,430
got the troops at the border keeping everybody

255
00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:52,830
back, and here come the complainers, and your

256
00:08:52,830 --> 00:08:54,470
No Agenda show knows why.

257
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:56,710
With the announcement that the Trump administration will

258
00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:59,350
allow ICE to arrest immigrants in places like

259
00:08:59,350 --> 00:09:01,950
schools and churches I don't think that's true

260
00:09:01,950 --> 00:09:02,170
yet.

261
00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:05,030
We reached out to the Colorado Catholic Conference.

262
00:09:05,470 --> 00:09:06,970
Where do you all stand on that issue?

263
00:09:07,150 --> 00:09:09,610
We have not seen the 2025 memo or

264
00:09:09,610 --> 00:09:11,110
what concerns will be around that.

265
00:09:11,210 --> 00:09:13,110
We know there might be First Amendment concerns

266
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:15,950
with enforcement in religious institutions, but right now

267
00:09:15,950 --> 00:09:17,070
there's not a lot of clarity.

268
00:09:17,510 --> 00:09:19,870
So for the Catholic Church, our bishops continue

269
00:09:19,870 --> 00:09:22,250
to maintain that we welcome the stranger as

270
00:09:22,250 --> 00:09:23,710
a tenant of our faith.

271
00:09:24,210 --> 00:09:26,370
That was Brittany Vesely, the Executive Director of

272
00:09:26,370 --> 00:09:27,910
the Colorado Catholic Conference.

273
00:09:28,170 --> 00:09:29,650
Vesely went on to say that the bishops

274
00:09:29,650 --> 00:09:33,330
are concerned about community safety, including drugs coming

275
00:09:33,330 --> 00:09:36,670
across the US-Mexico border, and unaccompanied minors

276
00:09:36,670 --> 00:09:38,210
facing sexual abuse.

277
00:09:38,390 --> 00:09:40,450
Now earlier this week, I talked to Jeanette

278
00:09:40,450 --> 00:09:43,390
Vizguera, who crossed that same border and lived

279
00:09:43,390 --> 00:09:45,430
in a church for three years while seeking

280
00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:45,910
asylum.

281
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:48,610
She said as churches and schools figure out

282
00:09:48,610 --> 00:09:51,590
what's next, as an advocate, she's creating a

283
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:53,450
safe space plan of her own.

284
00:09:53,770 --> 00:09:57,690
I have options for continue have some people

285
00:09:57,690 --> 00:09:59,190
in security spaces.

286
00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:02,090
Vizguera says for safety reasons, she can't publicly

287
00:10:02,090 --> 00:10:04,290
say what those safe spaces are.

288
00:10:04,670 --> 00:10:08,330
So she kind of misnomered them.

289
00:10:08,350 --> 00:10:12,930
It is the Colorado Catholic Bishops Conference, part

290
00:10:12,930 --> 00:10:14,190
of the Catholic Charities.

291
00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:19,110
These guys do hundreds of millions of dollars

292
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:23,510
a year in refugee resettlement programs.

293
00:10:26,050 --> 00:10:27,990
The huge moneymaker.

294
00:10:28,250 --> 00:10:28,830
Massive.

295
00:10:28,930 --> 00:10:33,270
Their entire business model is refugees and asylum

296
00:10:33,270 --> 00:10:33,690
seekers.

297
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:36,510
Now they're going to come out and say,

298
00:10:36,570 --> 00:10:38,390
she lived in a church for three years.

299
00:10:38,450 --> 00:10:39,470
By the way, she's still here.

300
00:10:40,190 --> 00:10:40,830
She's not gone.

301
00:10:41,310 --> 00:10:43,510
She still lives in the church or somewhere

302
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:43,890
else.

303
00:10:46,830 --> 00:10:49,490
This is what it's come down to.

304
00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:50,790
Now we're going to have to listen to

305
00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:52,890
all of this nonsense where it's just ruining

306
00:10:52,890 --> 00:10:53,730
your business model.

307
00:10:53,970 --> 00:10:56,870
There's that billion dollar company in Austin that

308
00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:59,510
President Obama himself sanctioned and opened.

309
00:11:00,090 --> 00:11:01,710
This is going to change something.

310
00:11:01,850 --> 00:11:03,510
By the way, that's our billion dollars.

311
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:07,360
You know, taxpayer billion dollars.

312
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:11,040
This is where you go.

313
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:12,080
Scam.

314
00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:13,560
Rip off.

315
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,320
Now have you heard about the cute winter

316
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:17,880
boots yet?

317
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:22,160
I've seen references to the cute winter boots.

318
00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:25,580
I have not gotten into any more details

319
00:11:25,580 --> 00:11:27,060
than that, so you're going to inform me

320
00:11:27,060 --> 00:11:28,420
about the cute winter boots.

321
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,440
Yes, and I'm sorry that I'm encroaching on

322
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,840
your territory of the TikToks because it is

323
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,840
rampant on TikTok.

324
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,800
Everyone out there that listens to this show

325
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,460
knows that eventually you cave.

326
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:41,260
You always cave.

327
00:11:42,140 --> 00:11:44,760
Well, I had to because I kept getting

328
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,020
people sending me this, look at these crazies

329
00:11:47,020 --> 00:11:48,940
talking about cute winter boots.

330
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,820
I'm like, I'm not interested in what they're

331
00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:53,500
doing on TikTok until I saw this guy.

332
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,180
You know, I'm starting to see this cute

333
00:11:55,180 --> 00:11:57,480
winter boots thing going around and I started

334
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,600
to pay attention to what this actually was.

335
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:01,460
At first I was like, it has to

336
00:12:01,460 --> 00:12:02,180
do with the migrants.

337
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,220
I can see that, but I really wasn't

338
00:12:04,220 --> 00:12:04,840
paying attention.

339
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,760
By the way, the guy's in his car,

340
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,240
of course.

341
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,140
Everybody's in their car.

342
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,200
It's your TikTok studio of choice.

343
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:14,080
Just keep popping up and popping up.

344
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,020
Then I started to realize that this is

345
00:12:17,020 --> 00:12:19,420
code being spoken by protesters.

346
00:12:20,260 --> 00:12:27,740
The anti-FA, yeah, anti-FA is planning

347
00:12:27,740 --> 00:12:28,180
something.

348
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,940
They are speaking in codes through this cute

349
00:12:30,940 --> 00:12:33,500
winter boots thing, how nice the winter boots

350
00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:34,320
are to have.

351
00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:37,500
They're talking about groups and organizations and organizing.

352
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,460
Yeah, something big is about to happen with

353
00:12:40,460 --> 00:12:42,120
this cute winter boots thing.

354
00:12:42,220 --> 00:12:44,720
Look it up, get on here, go in

355
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,340
that search bar, and start paying attention to

356
00:12:47,340 --> 00:12:49,080
what these people are talking, what they're writing

357
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:49,880
on the papers.

358
00:12:50,340 --> 00:12:51,340
Okay, so I did that.

359
00:12:51,420 --> 00:12:52,760
I went to the search bar, I checked

360
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,660
it out, and then oh, I see.

361
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,700
What do you wear cute winter boots for?

362
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,320
You wear cute winter boots when there's ice

363
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,240
outside.

364
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,360
See, this is the...

365
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,540
Oh, this is good.

366
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:06,560
I'm glad you did this.

367
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:09,880
Yes, ice, as in immigration enforcement.

368
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,560
And cute winter boots is what you need

369
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:17,380
to protect yourself against ice, which is code

370
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:21,880
by these passive politic practicing nutjobs for guns.

371
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,200
I'm seeing a lot of videos on cute

372
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,860
winter boots, and there's sort of two streams

373
00:13:26,860 --> 00:13:27,900
of content on this.

374
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,000
There are boots that you can use in

375
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,460
the ice, and that's not something I know

376
00:13:32,460 --> 00:13:32,980
a ton about.

377
00:13:33,220 --> 00:13:35,800
The other stream of content in these videos

378
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,920
is more about utilitarian boots, and boots that

379
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,400
maybe you never thought that you would ever

380
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,960
buy in your life, because that's just not

381
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:43,600
your thing.

382
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,780
And now you're seeing, given our environment, all

383
00:13:47,780 --> 00:13:49,700
the things, you're probably going to need to

384
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:53,140
invest in just a good, solid pair of

385
00:13:53,140 --> 00:13:53,620
winter boots.

386
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,620
And that I can help you with, because

387
00:13:55,620 --> 00:13:58,300
I came late to that sort of boot

388
00:13:58,300 --> 00:13:58,860
in my life.

389
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:00,740
She's in her car as well, obviously.

390
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,860
About ten years ago, a lot of you

391
00:14:03,860 --> 00:14:05,580
know that I used to be the head

392
00:14:05,580 --> 00:14:07,640
of marketing for The Outdoor Channel, which is

393
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,620
a hunting and fishing television network.

394
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,420
I grew up in a family that didn't

395
00:14:11,420 --> 00:14:13,000
do a lot of that outdoor stuff.

396
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,560
When I say a lot, not at all,

397
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:14,840
right?

398
00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:17,240
I go and work at The Outdoor Channel

399
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,360
for eight years, and lo and behold, I

400
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,480
get exposure to some of the biggest experts

401
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,620
on cute winter boots in the country.

402
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,840
And I open my ears, close my mouth,

403
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:28,700
and listen to them.

404
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,700
They taught me a lot, especially about what

405
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:34,800
kind of a pair of cute winter boots

406
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,400
would you buy if you were a newcomer

407
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,100
to boots like that, right?

408
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,040
You never thought you were going to buy

409
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:40,820
boots like that.

410
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,180
Got to learn a lot from them.

411
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,960
So everyone's, oh yeah, I got my cute

412
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:46,540
winter boots.

413
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,280
It's like, okay, you're all arming yourselves to

414
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,420
protect people from ISIS?

415
00:14:50,420 --> 00:14:54,060
I love this fact that the whole argument

416
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:56,900
for arming for the Second Amendment is exactly

417
00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:58,600
what they're doing, but they've always been in

418
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,000
denial.

419
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,100
And of course, you know, those same people,

420
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,840
if they ever shot a gun, they'd probably

421
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,780
yell eek and drop it.

422
00:15:05,940 --> 00:15:06,200
Eek!

423
00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:07,620
And would fire again.

424
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:09,660
Yeah.

425
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:10,740
Yeah.

426
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:11,680
Yeah, exactly.

427
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:15,340
So we do your 3x3?

428
00:15:15,420 --> 00:15:16,480
We might as well get into it.

429
00:15:16,540 --> 00:15:17,800
Yeah, let's get these out of the way.

430
00:15:18,020 --> 00:15:20,260
Hold on, we've got a jingle.

431
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,980
Experiment by Jesse Dean Comparing stories from ABC

432
00:15:24,980 --> 00:15:29,880
CBS and NBC The never-ending 3x3.

433
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:31,740
There we go, it's not a 3x3, it's

434
00:15:31,740 --> 00:15:34,080
a 4x4 with 3x3 in the title.

435
00:15:34,220 --> 00:15:35,620
Oh my goodness, what are we going to

436
00:15:35,620 --> 00:15:35,800
do?

437
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,840
Yeah, we're going to start with the 4x4

438
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,160
at the bonus clip, which is the CBC,

439
00:15:40,340 --> 00:15:43,760
Canadian Broadcasting Company, and these are all clips

440
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,240
on the immigration crackdown.

441
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,840
Security video shown to a U.S. news

442
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,040
outlet shows what appears to be the tail

443
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:50,720
end of the raid.

444
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,060
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE

445
00:15:54,060 --> 00:15:57,640
agents with a man apparently handcuffed after being

446
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,420
apprehended at a seafood depot in Newark, New

447
00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:01,220
Jersey yesterday.

448
00:16:01,740 --> 00:16:05,140
The latest signal President Donald Trump's long-promised

449
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,260
deportations of undocumented migrants in this country are

450
00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:09,680
underway.

451
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,520
People were fingerprinted.

452
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,180
Ras Baraka, the mayor of Newark, a city

453
00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:17,380
that has pledged to protect migrants, says there

454
00:16:17,380 --> 00:16:18,160
was no warrant.

455
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,320
None of these people were rapists or murderers

456
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,660
or criminals.

457
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,240
We believe that there were three people who

458
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,740
they say were undocumented that they detained, but

459
00:16:27,740 --> 00:16:30,960
they also detained folks that were in fact

460
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,280
citizens of this country.

461
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,360
One person showed their military veteran identification and

462
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,420
was still questioned anyway.

463
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:40,540
People are scared.

464
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,740
Amy Torres is executive director of the Alliance

465
00:16:43,740 --> 00:16:44,900
for Immigrant Justice.

466
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:46,920
And what we learned from folks that stayed

467
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,500
behind was that ICE walked in like it

468
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:51,760
was their empire's own conquered land.

469
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,600
They were heavily armed.

470
00:16:53,740 --> 00:16:55,500
There was no prior announcement.

471
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,520
They were blocking off entrances and exits.

472
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,140
They were scrambling up delivery ramps.

473
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:03,900
They were banging down bathroom doors to make

474
00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:05,319
sure no one was hiding inside.

475
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,740
Trump maintains the first raids will go after

476
00:17:08,740 --> 00:17:11,780
criminals, repeating that message today in North Carolina.

477
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:12,640
They're murderers.

478
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,440
These are people that have been as bad

479
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,700
as you get, as bad as anybody you've

480
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:18,000
seen.

481
00:17:18,180 --> 00:17:19,099
Now, I have a question.

482
00:17:19,220 --> 00:17:20,099
This is interesting.

483
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:23,200
As far back as I can recall as

484
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,800
a young lad watching movies, even in my

485
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,660
teens watching Cheech and Chong, but it was

486
00:17:30,660 --> 00:17:32,280
always kind of like INS.

487
00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:33,920
It was like, oh no, it's INS!

488
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,560
And the whole kitchen would desert.

489
00:17:35,860 --> 00:17:37,580
You know, everyone would be running away.

490
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,480
Hasn't this been a thing in America?

491
00:17:40,740 --> 00:17:43,500
Like immigration going after...

492
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:46,500
It's been not only a thing, even though

493
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:47,140
it's not...

494
00:17:47,140 --> 00:17:47,720
You're right.

495
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,400
INS, Immigration and Naturalization Services.

496
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,240
It was kind of a running gag.

497
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,380
And I say way before even Cheech and

498
00:17:57,380 --> 00:17:59,860
Chong where they'd be...

499
00:17:59,860 --> 00:18:01,720
Somebody would say...

500
00:18:03,540 --> 00:18:05,620
I'm talking about in the 60s and 70s.

501
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,200
Some immigration guys here and then the whole

502
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,300
crew would scatter.

503
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:14,980
It was always been a running gag and

504
00:18:14,980 --> 00:18:17,740
that gag disappeared from the...

505
00:18:17,740 --> 00:18:19,560
And I think everyone's shocked by it because

506
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,400
that gag, which was always part of the

507
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,980
public domain, disappeared, I think, I guess during

508
00:18:24,980 --> 00:18:26,300
the Obama administration.

509
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,260
And all these young'uns have been brought

510
00:18:29,260 --> 00:18:30,860
up never knowing this joke.

511
00:18:31,220 --> 00:18:31,780
The young'uns.

512
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,480
The young'uns don't know their comedic history.

513
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:36,520
We're full of it.

514
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,960
We're full of comedic history about rounding people

515
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,260
up.

516
00:18:41,540 --> 00:18:42,100
Yeah.

517
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:44,900
But I'm not so sure about the validity

518
00:18:44,900 --> 00:18:47,960
of that report because it's criminals.

519
00:18:48,460 --> 00:18:51,480
I've only seen criminals being taken in.

520
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,980
These local yokels think that they're still on

521
00:18:55,980 --> 00:18:58,100
the right side of history and they're showboating

522
00:18:58,740 --> 00:19:00,320
and they're making a big fuss and they're

523
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,020
going to get themselves their tit in the

524
00:19:02,020 --> 00:19:03,620
ring after this is over with.

525
00:19:04,820 --> 00:19:06,300
Onward with the 3x3.

526
00:19:06,660 --> 00:19:07,400
Well, let's see.

527
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,140
We should probably go to CBS next.

528
00:19:10,140 --> 00:19:12,240
At a U.S. Army airfield in El

529
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,980
Paso, exclusive video obtained by CBS News shows

530
00:19:15,980 --> 00:19:19,200
shackled detainees boarding a military cargo plane.

531
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,860
One of two C-17s to depart the

532
00:19:21,860 --> 00:19:25,320
southern border carrying migrants and landing in Guatemala

533
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,380
Friday morning.

534
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,500
The deportation's going very well.

535
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,220
We're getting the bad, hard criminals out.

536
00:19:31,340 --> 00:19:33,480
The White House calls it the official start

537
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,260
of their long-promised mass deportation campaign.

538
00:19:37,420 --> 00:19:40,460
Posting video of Marines operating at the southern

539
00:19:40,460 --> 00:19:40,900
border.

540
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,620
This week, the Pentagon announced the deployment of

541
00:19:43,620 --> 00:19:46,660
1,500 service members to assist U.S.

542
00:19:46,740 --> 00:19:47,340
Border Patrol.

543
00:19:47,860 --> 00:19:52,820
Across the country, immigration agents arrested 538 undocumented

544
00:19:52,820 --> 00:19:54,240
migrants yesterday.

545
00:19:54,580 --> 00:19:57,080
They always leave out the criminal part, John.

546
00:19:57,220 --> 00:19:58,160
Have you noticed that?

547
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,720
They don't say criminal undocumented illegal alien immigrants.

548
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,760
It's always just undocumented.

549
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:06,920
No, of course not.

550
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,020
That tops the average of 312 arrests per

551
00:20:10,020 --> 00:20:11,880
day during the Biden administration.

552
00:20:12,260 --> 00:20:12,440
What?

553
00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:14,260
We're only doing 200 plus?

554
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,660
That makes it even worse.

555
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:17,080
Wow!

556
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,660
And it includes 373 alleged criminal detainees.

557
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,600
In Newark, ICE agents raided a business without

558
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:25,200
a warrant.

559
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,360
We can't just let this happen and not

560
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:28,840
say anything.

561
00:20:29,140 --> 00:20:31,080
Newark's mayor slammed the operation.

562
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,120
We believe that there were three people who

563
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:36,560
they say were undocumented that they detained, but

564
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,780
they also detained folks that were in fact

565
00:20:39,780 --> 00:20:42,120
citizens of this country.

566
00:20:42,780 --> 00:20:45,760
And we've just learned there was another deportation

567
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,100
flight, a military aircraft bound to Mexico planned

568
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:51,480
this week, but it was denied access to

569
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:51,900
land.

570
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,500
A U.S. official tells CBS News that

571
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:55,880
flight never took off.

572
00:20:57,620 --> 00:20:59,000
I don't know about that.

573
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,280
I like the way they say they were

574
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:00,980
detained.

575
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,740
There were some guys, they weren't shipped out,

576
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,840
but they were you know, but they make

577
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,940
it sound like these guys the American citizens

578
00:21:07,940 --> 00:21:09,980
were shipped out when they were just detained.

579
00:21:10,140 --> 00:21:12,240
By detained it means you raided the whole

580
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:12,500
place.

581
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,840
Everybody had to stop and show their I

582
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,180
.D. You're being detained right?

583
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,040
You get detained when you get pulled over

584
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,360
by a cop for speeding.

585
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,420
You're being detained.

586
00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:23,420
But the funny thing is, I love that

587
00:21:23,420 --> 00:21:25,820
report because it says, you know, well, we're

588
00:21:25,820 --> 00:21:27,140
doing 300 a day.

589
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,060
No one was complaining about that.

590
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,760
No, of course not.

591
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,260
That was because it was Democrats.

592
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,140
The media has really lost the plot.

593
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:38,960
They've never had it.

594
00:21:39,020 --> 00:21:40,060
So here we go with ABC.

595
00:21:40,260 --> 00:21:41,800
Now we're going to get to the good

596
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,160
ones.

597
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,200
Martha Radnitz, for starters.

598
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,420
Tonight, for the first time, U.S. military

599
00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:52,200
aircraft flying undocumented migrants out of the country

600
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,880
as President Donald Trump launches his deportation campaign.

601
00:21:56,980 --> 00:21:59,080
They really, they all shared the script, didn't

602
00:21:59,080 --> 00:21:59,220
they?

603
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,080
Undocumented migrants.

604
00:22:01,540 --> 00:22:01,960
Okay.

605
00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:04,700
And I think it was NPR who shared

606
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:06,200
with the world that that was now their

607
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,200
new style guide, right?

608
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,440
We had the clip, yeah.

609
00:22:10,660 --> 00:22:11,720
I think undocumented.

610
00:22:11,940 --> 00:22:13,960
You can't say anything but something like that.

611
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:17,560
The White House releasing these pictures dozens of

612
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,120
migrants in chains boarding C-17 aircraft.

613
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:25,120
The flights landing in Guatemala carrying roughly 160

614
00:22:25,820 --> 00:22:27,660
people, men and women.

615
00:22:28,020 --> 00:22:29,620
Deportation's going very well.

616
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,560
Today, the Trump administration's new borders are.

617
00:22:32,700 --> 00:22:35,780
Tom Homan telling me it's only the beginning

618
00:22:35,780 --> 00:22:38,540
and he has a stark warning to anyone

619
00:22:38,540 --> 00:22:40,240
who's in the country illegally.

620
00:22:40,780 --> 00:22:43,420
So is this what we will see every

621
00:22:43,420 --> 00:22:47,120
single day ending in what the president has

622
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:49,380
promised is millions and millions being deported?

623
00:22:49,380 --> 00:22:52,040
Yes, but you can see the numbers steadily

624
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,280
increase the number of arrests nationwide as we

625
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,200
open up the aperture.

626
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,020
Right now it's concentrating public safety threats, national

627
00:22:58,020 --> 00:22:58,740
security threats.

628
00:22:59,140 --> 00:23:00,320
That's a smaller population.

629
00:23:00,740 --> 00:23:01,860
If you're in the country illegally, you got

630
00:23:01,860 --> 00:23:02,280
a problem.

631
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,100
And that's why I'm hoping those who are

632
00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:05,700
in the country illegally who have not been

633
00:23:05,700 --> 00:23:08,380
ordered removed by the federal judge should leave.

634
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,780
Homan was very clear that those committing violent

635
00:23:11,780 --> 00:23:15,160
crimes will be deported first and acknowledges that

636
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,420
the show of force, these strong warnings to

637
00:23:17,420 --> 00:23:20,580
all undocumented immigrants are meant to send a

638
00:23:20,580 --> 00:23:23,560
message that they should self-deport since it

639
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,260
would take a very long time and massive

640
00:23:25,260 --> 00:23:28,280
amounts of manpower and money to deport an

641
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,680
estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants.

642
00:23:32,260 --> 00:23:32,360
Okay.

643
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,120
Okay.

644
00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:37,460
Yeah, this is the good stuff.

645
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:39,300
11 million.

646
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,820
11 million.

647
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,800
Now they're admitting there's that many.

648
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,300
Yeah, all of a sudden.

649
00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:45,680
11 million.

650
00:23:45,860 --> 00:23:46,560
We know the number.

651
00:23:47,780 --> 00:23:48,520
All right.

652
00:23:48,580 --> 00:23:49,760
So we go to the final one.

653
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,240
This is Brian Roberts, the Comcast CEO's fabulous

654
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,600
NBC Trump hate network.

655
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,460
Tonight a dramatic escalation of President Trump's illegal

656
00:24:01,460 --> 00:24:02,780
immigration crackdown.

657
00:24:03,020 --> 00:24:06,300
The first of 1500 extra troops touching down

658
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:08,880
in El Paso, Texas to support border security

659
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,740
and for the first time migrants being deported

660
00:24:11,740 --> 00:24:14,500
not on chartered flights like before, but on

661
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:15,680
military aircraft.

662
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,060
Two flights landing this morning in Guatemala.

663
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:20,500
We're getting the bad, hard criminals out.

664
00:24:20,580 --> 00:24:21,420
These are murderers.

665
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:24,240
These are people that have been as bad

666
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:24,760
as you get.

667
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,060
After a record 10 million illegal border crossings

668
00:24:28,060 --> 00:24:30,360
over the past four years, ICE now ramping

669
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:34,800
up roundups of undocumented immigrants making 538 arrests

670
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,860
yesterday across the country doubling its daily average

671
00:24:37,860 --> 00:24:38,500
in September.

672
00:24:39,020 --> 00:24:41,640
Cities including San Francisco, Salt Lake City and

673
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,140
Atlanta.

674
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,420
In Newark, New Jersey, this surveillance video appears

675
00:24:45,420 --> 00:24:47,200
to show ICE agents making arrests.

676
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,080
City officials and immigrant advocates say ICE agents

677
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,980
raided this local business, arresting three undocumented immigrants

678
00:24:53,980 --> 00:24:57,100
and briefly detaining an American citizen, a military

679
00:24:57,100 --> 00:24:59,620
veteran, while they asked him for documentation.

680
00:24:59,980 --> 00:25:02,000
Do you plan to use city resources to

681
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:02,620
impede ICE?

682
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,920
We're not going to participate in what we

683
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:05,820
think is unlawful.

684
00:25:06,060 --> 00:25:08,640
Newark's Democratic Mayor Rouse Baraka telling us late

685
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,760
today there were two more operations in his

686
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,460
city where more than a third of the

687
00:25:12,460 --> 00:25:15,420
population was born outside the U.S. Meantime,

688
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,000
Gabe, you have some new reporting about Mexico's

689
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,120
role in all this.

690
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:19,900
Yes, Lester.

691
00:25:20,060 --> 00:25:23,140
Two U.S. defense officials tell NBC News

692
00:25:23,140 --> 00:25:26,520
that Mexico denied access to a U.S.

693
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,860
military deportation plane on Thursday.

694
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,880
As we mentioned, two planes landed in Guatemala

695
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,440
today.

696
00:25:31,940 --> 00:25:32,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

697
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,060
I saw the president also had a chat

698
00:25:35,060 --> 00:25:36,820
with Bukele from El Salvador.

699
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,900
They had a nice talk, talked about the

700
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:41,240
criminals.

701
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:45,360
I have to play this additional clip here.

702
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,040
This is from Al Jazeera.

703
00:25:47,940 --> 00:25:50,380
And this is the Deportation Inc.

704
00:25:51,660 --> 00:25:53,680
complaints that this was never reported.

705
00:25:53,780 --> 00:25:56,180
I'm surprised that our people didn't report it

706
00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:59,100
this way too, but play this clip.

707
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,120
The Brazilian government says it's outraged after dozens

708
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:04,220
of migrants deported by the U.S. arrived

709
00:26:04,220 --> 00:26:04,960
in handcuffs.

710
00:26:05,380 --> 00:26:07,980
Brazil ordered U.S. officials to immediately remove

711
00:26:07,980 --> 00:26:08,640
the restraints.

712
00:26:09,260 --> 00:26:11,540
The justice minister called it a flagrant disregard

713
00:26:11,540 --> 00:26:13,180
for the rights of Brazilian citizens.

714
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,220
The flight carried around 80 men, women, children.

715
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,600
State officials distributed meals and checked on their

716
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,080
well-being.

717
00:26:20,580 --> 00:26:21,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

718
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,320
So they sent the 80 guys.

719
00:26:23,620 --> 00:26:25,820
Any of these flights, they're going to cuff

720
00:26:25,820 --> 00:26:27,760
the guys because if they're the criminals, you

721
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,400
don't want some criminals roaming around the planes

722
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,700
causing havoc?

723
00:26:31,700 --> 00:26:32,760
No, it's an outrage.

724
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,820
It's an outrage.

725
00:26:34,380 --> 00:26:36,080
But so they sent these guys back to

726
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,360
Brazil, which was not reported in any of

727
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:39,200
our other media.

728
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,580
They only had Guatemala.

729
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:41,560
Guatemala.

730
00:26:41,940 --> 00:26:44,800
And so the Brazilian guys got bent out

731
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:45,880
of shape about it.

732
00:26:45,980 --> 00:26:46,940
But come on.

733
00:26:47,020 --> 00:26:50,000
What's interesting is that France is cracking down

734
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,540
on immigration.

735
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,840
Don't hear much about that.

736
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:57,280
Here's how France 24 reports on their tightening

737
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,000
of immigration.

738
00:26:58,300 --> 00:27:01,620
France is tightening its policies on undocumented migrants.

739
00:27:01,980 --> 00:27:03,780
Notice the same words.

740
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,860
It's undocumented migrants.

741
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,000
And these are probably not even criminals.

742
00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:11,760
France is tightening its policies on undocumented migrants.

743
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:16,080
On Friday, French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau circulated

744
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,760
an official memo to departmental and regional officials

745
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,340
which will restrict their capacity to grant them

746
00:27:21,340 --> 00:27:22,120
legal status.

747
00:27:22,380 --> 00:27:25,160
The new directive on exceptional admissions of residents

748
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,260
will reverse guidelines implemented in 2012 by former

749
00:27:28,260 --> 00:27:31,520
Minister Manuel Valls which gave prefectures a certain

750
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,600
margin in dealing with the status of migrants

751
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,160
on a case-by-case basis.

752
00:27:35,580 --> 00:27:37,620
If we aren't too open to offering possibilities

753
00:27:37,620 --> 00:27:40,440
to grant legal status to migrants, what will

754
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,800
be compromised, which is already happening, is integration

755
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:44,880
or assimilation.

756
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,500
It's a numbers game.

757
00:27:46,820 --> 00:27:49,140
Retailleau set out a number of criteria for

758
00:27:49,140 --> 00:27:50,540
migrants seeking legal status.

759
00:27:50,700 --> 00:27:51,560
Now listen to this.

760
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,200
Most notably, his official memo increases the residency

761
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,580
requirement in the country from 5 to 7

762
00:27:57,580 --> 00:27:58,060
years.

763
00:27:58,540 --> 00:28:00,840
Only workers in key sectors will be granted

764
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,140
legal residency status and their mastery of the

765
00:28:03,140 --> 00:28:05,020
French language must be proved by a French

766
00:28:05,020 --> 00:28:06,800
diploma or a language certification.

767
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,120
Undocumented immigrants who, quote, pose a threat to

768
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:12,780
the public order, who practice polygamy or are

769
00:28:12,780 --> 00:28:15,580
subject to an obligation to leave France won't

770
00:28:15,580 --> 00:28:17,320
be granted legal status in the country.

771
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,200
Polygamy?

772
00:28:19,780 --> 00:28:21,700
If you practice polygamy?

773
00:28:22,340 --> 00:28:25,220
Yeah, this is targeting the Muslim population that

774
00:28:25,220 --> 00:28:26,300
practices polygamy.

775
00:28:26,500 --> 00:28:26,600
Yes.

776
00:28:28,180 --> 00:28:31,380
Imagine President Trump saying that.

777
00:28:32,780 --> 00:28:33,900
It would be outrageous.

778
00:28:35,980 --> 00:28:36,860
It would be outrageous.

779
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,480
Everyone would be losing their crap over it.

780
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,880
But France, the French are like, eh, oui,

781
00:28:43,180 --> 00:28:43,440
oui.

782
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,040
Alright, we're going to stay in Europe.

783
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,060
I have some very, very short little snippets

784
00:28:50,060 --> 00:28:54,020
from Queen Ursula, who is very, very clear

785
00:28:54,020 --> 00:28:56,060
about everything going on in the world and

786
00:28:56,060 --> 00:28:58,160
Trump has just ruined everything and we've got

787
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,100
to do something, we've got to work together.

788
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,500
But it is important that we balance the

789
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:10,000
imperative to safeguard our security against our opportunity

790
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,080
to innovate and enhance our prosperity.

791
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:13,860
Right.

792
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,420
In this spirit, we will need to work

793
00:29:18,420 --> 00:29:22,140
together to avoid a global race to the

794
00:29:22,140 --> 00:29:22,440
bottom.

795
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,500
Because it is in no one's interest to

796
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:27,440
break the bonds of the global economy.

797
00:29:28,540 --> 00:29:32,080
Rather, we need to modernize the rules to

798
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:37,120
sustain our ability to produce mutual gain for

799
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:37,820
our citizens.

800
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,760
We have to modernize the rules.

801
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,800
She's trying to desperately hold on to globalism

802
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,880
while it's crumbling underneath her feet.

803
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,860
There was an interesting I don't think I

804
00:29:48,860 --> 00:29:52,920
clipped it, but Tommy Smothers, I mean Davis

805
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,560
Hanson Tommy Smothers Victor Davis Hanson, you mean?

806
00:29:58,020 --> 00:29:58,580
Yeah, that guy.

807
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,860
He had an interesting point to me.

808
00:30:00,940 --> 00:30:03,420
He said that the EU, he's bitching about

809
00:30:03,420 --> 00:30:06,200
the Davos thing, and he said that 25

810
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,100
years ago, the entire part of Europe that

811
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:14,620
became what's today's EU had the exact same

812
00:30:14,620 --> 00:30:16,480
GDP as the United States.

813
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,320
And now after all these years of globalism,

814
00:30:19,420 --> 00:30:22,480
25 years later, their GDP is about half

815
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,520
of what ours is.

816
00:30:23,540 --> 00:30:24,000
Is that really true?

817
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:24,760
I didn't know that.

818
00:30:24,940 --> 00:30:26,580
I didn't know that either when I'm listening

819
00:30:26,580 --> 00:30:26,840
to it.

820
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,960
And he's not a guy who makes these

821
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,820
kinds of mistakes.

822
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,940
He's very, you know, he's a bean counter

823
00:30:33,940 --> 00:30:35,160
at heart.

824
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,180
So, and he says and the salaries are

825
00:30:39,180 --> 00:30:40,520
60% of ours.

826
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,420
It's just that this whole scheme is falling

827
00:30:45,420 --> 00:30:47,440
apart, and when she says race to the

828
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,820
bottom, it makes some sense, because that's what

829
00:30:50,820 --> 00:30:51,300
they're doing.

830
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:52,580
Their own race to the bottom.

831
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:53,460
Yeah.

832
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,480
So, she's now going to explain and this

833
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,620
is the exact opposite.

834
00:30:59,820 --> 00:31:01,780
It's wonderful to see.

835
00:31:02,540 --> 00:31:06,120
We are drill baby drill, although oil baron

836
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,960
Paul keeps telling me bro, we're not drilling,

837
00:31:09,140 --> 00:31:10,200
we're not drilling more.

838
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,500
It's getting he's now up to 20 million

839
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:16,440
dollars for R&D for each well that

840
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,720
he drills up from 16 million.

841
00:31:19,380 --> 00:31:21,580
He says we're not going to be drilling

842
00:31:21,580 --> 00:31:23,460
a lot more, but okay.

843
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,480
That's our policy is drill baby drill.

844
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,300
In Europe, here's Queen Ursula.

845
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,020
The last 25 years, Europe has relied on

846
00:31:35,020 --> 00:31:38,080
the rising tide of global trade to drive

847
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:38,620
its growth.

848
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:43,580
It has relied on cheap energy from Russia.

849
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:44,740
Yeah, it was good.

850
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,260
And Europe has too often outsourced its own

851
00:31:49,260 --> 00:31:49,920
security.

852
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,480
But those days are gone.

853
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:54,400
They're gone.

854
00:31:54,540 --> 00:31:55,420
They're gone.

855
00:31:55,820 --> 00:31:56,420
They're gone.

856
00:31:56,540 --> 00:31:57,160
You're screwed.

857
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,620
So she's not going to outsource her security

858
00:31:59,620 --> 00:32:00,100
to us.

859
00:32:00,220 --> 00:32:01,240
That's what she's saying.

860
00:32:01,660 --> 00:32:02,740
These days are gone.

861
00:32:02,900 --> 00:32:03,460
Good for us.

862
00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:04,180
Good for us.

863
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:07,300
Now, of course, the days of cheap Russian

864
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:08,300
energy are gone.

865
00:32:08,820 --> 00:32:11,500
You could bring them right back if you

866
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:12,300
wanted to.

867
00:32:12,980 --> 00:32:13,880
Just do a deal.

868
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:16,760
No, no, no.

869
00:32:16,820 --> 00:32:19,960
But we have to explain this as climate

870
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:20,660
change.

871
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,180
The coming years will be vital well beyond

872
00:32:24,180 --> 00:32:24,580
Europe.

873
00:32:25,260 --> 00:32:28,020
All continents will have to speed up the

874
00:32:28,020 --> 00:32:29,480
transition towards net zero.

875
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,320
And deal with the growing burden of climate

876
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:33,860
change.

877
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,800
Its impact is impossible to ignore.

878
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,500
Well, the impact of what?

879
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,100
Climate change or net zero?

880
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,580
I think net zero, that impact will be

881
00:32:45,580 --> 00:32:46,640
impossible to ignore.

882
00:32:46,740 --> 00:32:48,440
But she's got solutions.

883
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,140
Here's what we're going to do.

884
00:32:50,340 --> 00:32:52,920
We will have to invest in next generation

885
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,640
clean energy technologies like fusion, enhanced geothermal.

886
00:32:57,180 --> 00:32:57,800
Oh, please.

887
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:00,720
Oh, man.

888
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:02,170
Fusion.

889
00:33:02,170 --> 00:33:02,610
Fusion.

890
00:33:02,630 --> 00:33:06,050
Here comes the old fusion again.

891
00:33:06,390 --> 00:33:07,490
Pie in the sky.

892
00:33:07,750 --> 00:33:11,550
Technologies like fusion, enhanced geothermal, and solid state

893
00:33:11,550 --> 00:33:12,130
batteries.

894
00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:13,810
Solid state batteries.

895
00:33:14,330 --> 00:33:15,330
What is this nonsense?

896
00:33:15,690 --> 00:33:17,890
What is she talking about?

897
00:33:18,150 --> 00:33:18,570
Lead acid?

898
00:33:18,910 --> 00:33:19,230
Okay, fusion.

899
00:33:19,370 --> 00:33:20,150
Let's start with that.

900
00:33:20,190 --> 00:33:21,170
Let's start with fusion.

901
00:33:21,270 --> 00:33:22,230
That's bull crap.

902
00:33:22,390 --> 00:33:23,670
They can't do it.

903
00:33:23,770 --> 00:33:25,150
No one's been able to do this.

904
00:33:25,290 --> 00:33:28,290
Of course, the real goal is cold fusion

905
00:33:28,290 --> 00:33:29,410
where you don't have to even worry about

906
00:33:29,410 --> 00:33:29,850
the heat.

907
00:33:29,850 --> 00:33:31,690
But they can't seem to get that to

908
00:33:31,690 --> 00:33:32,010
work.

909
00:33:32,710 --> 00:33:34,930
And this has been worked on forever, and

910
00:33:34,930 --> 00:33:36,730
everyone knows it would be great if it

911
00:33:36,730 --> 00:33:38,490
ever worked, but they can't get it to

912
00:33:38,490 --> 00:33:38,710
work.

913
00:33:38,810 --> 00:33:39,910
It's just a money loser.

914
00:33:40,670 --> 00:33:42,170
And then, so I don't know what she's

915
00:33:42,170 --> 00:33:42,510
talking about.

916
00:33:42,570 --> 00:33:43,950
Battery technology is old.

917
00:33:43,990 --> 00:33:44,870
It's from the 1800s.

918
00:33:44,910 --> 00:33:45,810
Nothing's really changed.

919
00:33:45,870 --> 00:33:47,050
They've only tweaked it.

920
00:33:47,150 --> 00:33:47,890
Well, let's look it up.

921
00:33:48,230 --> 00:33:49,070
That's a loser.

922
00:33:49,330 --> 00:33:53,150
What are solid state batteries?

923
00:33:54,510 --> 00:33:55,810
What are solid state batteries?

924
00:33:56,330 --> 00:33:56,670
What are solid state batteries?

925
00:33:56,670 --> 00:33:57,930
That's either capacitors.

926
00:33:57,930 --> 00:34:00,180
You know, the old capacitor battery.

927
00:34:00,770 --> 00:34:00,870
Oh, wait.

928
00:34:01,030 --> 00:34:01,930
They're known as SSBs.

929
00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:08,730
Solid electrolyte for ionic conduction between the electrodes

930
00:34:08,730 --> 00:34:11,190
as opposed to the liquid or gel polymer

931
00:34:11,190 --> 00:34:13,429
electrodes found in traditional batteries.

932
00:34:14,270 --> 00:34:14,710
Yeah, okay.

933
00:34:16,650 --> 00:34:17,929
You know that...

934
00:34:17,929 --> 00:34:19,610
You know, I'm going to get email for

935
00:34:19,610 --> 00:34:19,969
you.

936
00:34:20,570 --> 00:34:21,830
You don't know...

937
00:34:21,830 --> 00:34:23,110
Dvorak's all wrong.

938
00:34:23,250 --> 00:34:23,830
There's all kinds of stuff.

939
00:34:23,830 --> 00:34:24,929
Yeah, if it was any good, they'd already

940
00:34:24,929 --> 00:34:25,690
be implemented.

941
00:34:25,690 --> 00:34:26,989
So what is the...

942
00:34:26,989 --> 00:34:27,790
What was the second one?

943
00:34:27,830 --> 00:34:30,570
She had fusion, which is just bogus.

944
00:34:30,929 --> 00:34:32,010
Let's listen.

945
00:34:32,150 --> 00:34:35,370
Energy technologies like fusion, enhanced geothermal.

946
00:34:36,070 --> 00:34:36,949
Enhanced geothermal.

947
00:34:37,290 --> 00:34:38,150
Enhanced geothermal.

948
00:34:38,270 --> 00:34:39,710
Okay, so that...

949
00:34:39,710 --> 00:34:42,670
You know, Iceland is largely a geothermal hotspot

950
00:34:42,670 --> 00:34:45,730
and the whole country is run by the

951
00:34:45,730 --> 00:34:47,210
volcano they're sitting on top of.

952
00:34:47,250 --> 00:34:47,989
What is enhanced?

953
00:34:49,150 --> 00:34:50,469
I guess you have to drill a little

954
00:34:50,469 --> 00:34:50,850
deeper.

955
00:34:51,070 --> 00:34:51,449
I don't know.

956
00:34:51,510 --> 00:34:53,610
You drill a deep hole until you hit

957
00:34:53,610 --> 00:34:55,630
the molten rock in the middle of the

958
00:34:55,630 --> 00:34:56,570
earth and you...

959
00:34:56,570 --> 00:34:59,470
I have no idea how you enhance it.

960
00:34:59,610 --> 00:35:00,830
You either got it or you don't.

961
00:35:01,090 --> 00:35:02,730
And Europe doesn't have that.

962
00:35:03,470 --> 00:35:03,930
Not yet.

963
00:35:04,050 --> 00:35:04,690
They need to invest in it.

964
00:35:04,690 --> 00:35:05,750
Europe hasn't got oil.

965
00:35:05,970 --> 00:35:06,590
They haven't got...

966
00:35:06,590 --> 00:35:08,290
The coal has been dug out of...

967
00:35:08,290 --> 00:35:09,590
I mean, England...

968
00:35:09,590 --> 00:35:10,510
England has it.

969
00:35:10,550 --> 00:35:11,410
They gave it up.

970
00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:12,290
England has a lot of coal.

971
00:35:12,830 --> 00:35:15,130
But the main part of Europe has very

972
00:35:15,130 --> 00:35:15,610
little...

973
00:35:15,610 --> 00:35:17,830
I mean, there's some fracking opportunities and they

974
00:35:17,830 --> 00:35:18,970
have a lot of minerals and stuff.

975
00:35:19,070 --> 00:35:20,610
They need this better to get their stuff

976
00:35:20,610 --> 00:35:21,370
from outside.

977
00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:23,270
They're nuts.

978
00:35:23,410 --> 00:35:25,410
And then when they do have something like

979
00:35:26,250 --> 00:35:28,950
standard nuclear like the Germans have and then

980
00:35:28,950 --> 00:35:29,830
they shut it down?

981
00:35:30,330 --> 00:35:31,130
That's nuts.

982
00:35:31,590 --> 00:35:32,970
These people are out of control.

983
00:35:33,870 --> 00:35:35,230
They're just trying to...

984
00:35:35,230 --> 00:35:37,290
I think they want to get themselves into

985
00:35:37,290 --> 00:35:40,430
another war between the states.

986
00:35:40,630 --> 00:35:43,830
I didn't clip it but I watched President

987
00:35:43,830 --> 00:35:48,590
Trump's speech to the Davos crowd and the

988
00:35:48,590 --> 00:35:50,930
question and answer session was quite entertaining, quite

989
00:35:50,930 --> 00:35:51,190
good.

990
00:35:51,810 --> 00:35:53,850
And he said, hey, if you build a

991
00:35:53,850 --> 00:35:57,650
factory plant here, we'll let you put your...

992
00:35:57,650 --> 00:35:58,770
You won't have to be on the grid.

993
00:35:58,870 --> 00:36:01,770
You can build your power plant right next

994
00:36:01,770 --> 00:36:02,450
to your factory.

995
00:36:02,850 --> 00:36:04,170
You can use gas.

996
00:36:04,550 --> 00:36:06,150
Beautiful, cheap gas.

997
00:36:07,450 --> 00:36:08,890
And if you want, if you need a

998
00:36:08,890 --> 00:36:10,690
backup, you can use our clean coal.

999
00:36:12,510 --> 00:36:13,430
Beautiful, clean coal.

1000
00:36:13,790 --> 00:36:15,470
I thought I heard the whole thing but

1001
00:36:15,470 --> 00:36:16,310
I guess it was that.

1002
00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:18,210
It might have been during Q&A.

1003
00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:19,150
Clean coal.

1004
00:36:19,690 --> 00:36:20,770
Well, we have clean coal.

1005
00:36:21,330 --> 00:36:22,790
Yeah, we do have anthracite.

1006
00:36:23,030 --> 00:36:23,830
It's a very clean coal.

1007
00:36:24,050 --> 00:36:24,650
It's beautiful.

1008
00:36:24,810 --> 00:36:27,790
And then if you have scrubbing mechanisms, the

1009
00:36:27,790 --> 00:36:29,950
things that can clean out the effluent, it's

1010
00:36:29,950 --> 00:36:30,650
dynamite.

1011
00:36:31,790 --> 00:36:35,610
But think about that versus all this enhanced

1012
00:36:35,610 --> 00:36:36,070
germal...

1013
00:36:36,070 --> 00:36:36,810
Germal?

1014
00:36:37,450 --> 00:36:38,910
Enhanced germal thermics.

1015
00:36:41,450 --> 00:36:43,610
And fusion and what else did she have?

1016
00:36:43,610 --> 00:36:45,330
Solid-state batteries.

1017
00:36:45,590 --> 00:36:47,030
And solid-state batteries.

1018
00:36:47,430 --> 00:36:50,430
And let's start with this before you get

1019
00:36:50,430 --> 00:36:52,750
your notes from the angry producers that we

1020
00:36:52,750 --> 00:36:54,850
have out there listening to this show nitpicking

1021
00:36:54,850 --> 00:36:55,830
what we have to say.

1022
00:36:57,410 --> 00:36:58,010
Why are...

1023
00:36:58,010 --> 00:37:02,490
Why are solid-state batteries any better than

1024
00:37:02,490 --> 00:37:03,370
any other battery?

1025
00:37:03,410 --> 00:37:05,030
If they were any better, they'd be in

1026
00:37:05,030 --> 00:37:06,510
the Tesla's today, I'm sure.

1027
00:37:07,290 --> 00:37:07,970
Wouldn't you think?

1028
00:37:08,450 --> 00:37:09,850
I would totally think.

1029
00:37:09,850 --> 00:37:11,610
And solid-state batteries.

1030
00:37:12,070 --> 00:37:14,970
We must also mobilize more private capital to

1031
00:37:14,970 --> 00:37:18,350
modernize our electricity grids and storage infrastructure.

1032
00:37:18,370 --> 00:37:18,470
That's what you can't do.

1033
00:37:18,570 --> 00:37:19,870
Yeah, we need money.

1034
00:37:19,970 --> 00:37:20,770
They can't do that.

1035
00:37:20,970 --> 00:37:22,210
They don't know how to do that part.

1036
00:37:22,550 --> 00:37:24,910
And then she did something very interesting because

1037
00:37:24,910 --> 00:37:27,550
she dropped it, which means it's in play.

1038
00:37:28,870 --> 00:37:30,390
You know, of course you've got AI.

1039
00:37:30,510 --> 00:37:31,590
Everyone's got to have some AI.

1040
00:37:31,870 --> 00:37:32,490
Gotta have some AI.

1041
00:37:32,670 --> 00:37:34,010
And she dropped the Q word.

1042
00:37:34,230 --> 00:37:35,990
From AI to clean tech.

1043
00:37:36,910 --> 00:37:38,850
From quantum to space.

1044
00:37:39,530 --> 00:37:43,270
From the Arctic to the South China Sea.

1045
00:37:44,050 --> 00:37:45,530
The race is on.

1046
00:37:45,990 --> 00:37:46,750
Yeah, baby.

1047
00:37:47,210 --> 00:37:50,690
This brings me to the news about AI.

1048
00:37:50,990 --> 00:37:52,530
Oh, everyone's talking about it now.

1049
00:37:52,650 --> 00:37:53,150
Oh, boy.

1050
00:37:53,670 --> 00:37:55,410
They're going to have to crank up the

1051
00:37:55,410 --> 00:37:55,830
quantum.

1052
00:37:57,810 --> 00:38:00,750
We need some pie-in-the-sky thing

1053
00:38:00,750 --> 00:38:03,110
that can suck up all the money that's

1054
00:38:03,110 --> 00:38:03,930
floating out there.

1055
00:38:03,990 --> 00:38:07,350
It's like $150 billion in the U.S.

1056
00:38:07,450 --> 00:38:09,450
markets alone just ready to invest in something

1057
00:38:09,450 --> 00:38:13,790
stupid like quantum because the AI game appears

1058
00:38:13,790 --> 00:38:14,530
to be over.

1059
00:38:14,770 --> 00:38:16,150
I go to CNBC.

1060
00:38:16,490 --> 00:38:18,310
First, we were reeling from the success of

1061
00:38:18,310 --> 00:38:20,270
China's AI upstart DeepSeek.

1062
00:38:20,430 --> 00:38:23,670
Now, TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, has just entered

1063
00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:26,030
the AI race in a big way, escalating

1064
00:38:26,030 --> 00:38:28,010
competition between the U.S. and China.

1065
00:38:28,430 --> 00:38:30,590
Deirdre Bosa has more in today's Tech Check.

1066
00:38:30,750 --> 00:38:31,010
Deirdre?

1067
00:38:31,290 --> 00:38:32,710
Kelly, I feel a little bit like a

1068
00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:35,150
broken record this week, but the momentum from

1069
00:38:35,150 --> 00:38:38,490
Chinese AI players has been unrelenting.

1070
00:38:38,750 --> 00:38:41,170
ByteDance, as you mentioned, now claims that its

1071
00:38:41,170 --> 00:38:45,390
model, Duobao 1.5 Pro, outperforms OpenAI's latest

1072
00:38:45,390 --> 00:38:46,490
reasoning model products.

1073
00:38:46,850 --> 00:38:48,690
And just days before you mentioned this, an

1074
00:38:48,690 --> 00:38:51,510
open-source model out of Chinese AI lab,

1075
00:38:51,590 --> 00:38:55,010
DeepSeek, was released that rivals OpenAI's O1 on

1076
00:38:55,010 --> 00:38:57,090
several third-party performance benchmarks.

1077
00:38:57,370 --> 00:38:59,790
But those two have something else besides performance

1078
00:38:59,790 --> 00:39:03,090
in common that makes it starkly different than

1079
00:39:03,090 --> 00:39:04,870
our American ones, and that is cost.

1080
00:39:05,110 --> 00:39:07,190
They were many times cheaper to build and

1081
00:39:07,190 --> 00:39:09,450
are many times cheaper to access.

1082
00:39:09,590 --> 00:39:13,130
So developers are really interested in these models.

1083
00:39:13,650 --> 00:39:15,830
Big American players, too, at Davos are taking

1084
00:39:15,830 --> 00:39:16,130
note.

1085
00:39:16,630 --> 00:39:20,830
Each of them, extremely influential CEOs working in

1086
00:39:20,830 --> 00:39:23,350
AI, they mention DeepSeek by name.

1087
00:39:23,450 --> 00:39:25,670
And so we've been digging into this lab

1088
00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:28,250
that's very mysterious, and also the breakthroughs that

1089
00:39:28,250 --> 00:39:29,230
has everyone talking.

1090
00:39:29,230 --> 00:39:31,390
We'll be publishing our long-form tech check

1091
00:39:31,390 --> 00:39:33,590
take tomorrow morning, diving into what it all

1092
00:39:33,590 --> 00:39:34,890
means, so don't miss that, Kelly.

1093
00:39:35,150 --> 00:39:36,990
So, diving into all of it, what does

1094
00:39:36,990 --> 00:39:37,390
it all mean?

1095
00:39:37,470 --> 00:39:38,330
What is the big difference?

1096
00:39:38,470 --> 00:39:39,350
What is the real advantage?

1097
00:39:39,490 --> 00:39:40,210
What is really happening?

1098
00:39:40,450 --> 00:39:42,950
So, going back to what TikTok is up

1099
00:39:42,950 --> 00:39:45,290
to, what's most significant about it, do you

1100
00:39:45,290 --> 00:39:45,530
think?

1101
00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:46,490
The cost.

1102
00:39:46,850 --> 00:39:48,890
I mean, these models coming out of China

1103
00:39:48,890 --> 00:39:51,770
are just built at a fraction of the

1104
00:39:51,770 --> 00:39:52,030
price.

1105
00:39:52,050 --> 00:39:54,350
When you think about OpenAI that's spending $5

1106
00:39:54,350 --> 00:39:57,330
billion a year, burning through billions of dollars

1107
00:39:57,330 --> 00:39:57,850
a year.

1108
00:39:58,010 --> 00:40:00,690
These models, the DeepSeek one, for example, they

1109
00:40:00,690 --> 00:40:03,170
say they built it for less than $6

1110
00:40:03,170 --> 00:40:03,730
million.

1111
00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:07,450
ByteDance as well shows that it was built

1112
00:40:07,450 --> 00:40:09,770
and you can access it at much much

1113
00:40:09,770 --> 00:40:10,310
lower prices.

1114
00:40:10,430 --> 00:40:12,750
So this really turns on sort of this

1115
00:40:12,750 --> 00:40:14,890
truth that we have thought about generative AI

1116
00:40:14,890 --> 00:40:16,590
for the last few years, that you need

1117
00:40:16,590 --> 00:40:18,890
hundreds of millions of dollars to develop bigger

1118
00:40:18,890 --> 00:40:20,050
and better models.

1119
00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:23,310
What the Chinese labs and companies are doing

1120
00:40:23,310 --> 00:40:24,990
is they're going straight to the frontier.

1121
00:40:24,990 --> 00:40:28,050
They're building with sort of infrastructure and outputs

1122
00:40:28,050 --> 00:40:29,910
that are already out there, built in many

1123
00:40:29,910 --> 00:40:33,490
cases by American companies and startups and they're

1124
00:40:33,490 --> 00:40:34,190
improving on it.

1125
00:40:34,270 --> 00:40:38,230
They're innovating on it and producing models that

1126
00:40:38,230 --> 00:40:40,170
are just as good in some cases at

1127
00:40:40,170 --> 00:40:41,050
a fraction of the cost.

1128
00:40:41,290 --> 00:40:42,390
So maybe we don't need to buy the

1129
00:40:42,390 --> 00:40:43,570
nuclear stocks after all.

1130
00:40:43,690 --> 00:40:45,750
Maybe we don't need a million GPUs down

1131
00:40:45,750 --> 00:40:46,890
in Abilene.

1132
00:40:47,150 --> 00:40:48,110
That's a good question.

1133
00:40:48,410 --> 00:40:48,810
Interesting.

1134
00:40:49,250 --> 00:40:50,830
It does raise a lot of questions, even

1135
00:40:50,830 --> 00:40:52,270
about Project Stargate, right?

1136
00:40:52,330 --> 00:40:54,310
What kind of infrastructure are we building here?

1137
00:40:54,510 --> 00:40:56,270
Is it for pre-training, like we've had

1138
00:40:56,270 --> 00:40:57,970
for the last two years, or is it

1139
00:40:57,970 --> 00:41:00,670
for reasoning and inference, which is a different

1140
00:41:00,670 --> 00:41:01,430
cost proposition?

1141
00:41:01,510 --> 00:41:03,170
Exactly, and you almost wonder if that's why

1142
00:41:03,170 --> 00:41:05,510
Microsoft is evolving its partnership with OpenAI.

1143
00:41:05,910 --> 00:41:08,370
Yeah, Microsoft may be the last to laugh

1144
00:41:08,370 --> 00:41:08,950
at this.

1145
00:41:09,450 --> 00:41:10,970
They're throwing out nothing.

1146
00:41:11,270 --> 00:41:13,870
There's no proof of anything that they said.

1147
00:41:14,930 --> 00:41:15,790
It's all black.

1148
00:41:17,110 --> 00:41:19,210
It's like you and I come up with

1149
00:41:19,210 --> 00:41:21,370
an AI model that's one tenth the cost.

1150
00:41:21,990 --> 00:41:23,170
It's one tenth the cost, Adam.

1151
00:41:23,290 --> 00:41:24,550
We've got it at one tenth the cost.

1152
00:41:24,770 --> 00:41:26,870
Tell CNBC, oh, they've got it at one

1153
00:41:26,870 --> 00:41:27,950
tenth the cost.

1154
00:41:29,750 --> 00:41:30,690
You said it.

1155
00:41:30,810 --> 00:41:32,070
It doesn't mean you did it.

1156
00:41:32,270 --> 00:41:33,650
The tests have actually been done.

1157
00:41:33,910 --> 00:41:35,290
The models have already been released.

1158
00:41:35,450 --> 00:41:38,250
People are testing it, and they're seeing that

1159
00:41:38,250 --> 00:41:40,010
the training goes much faster at a lower

1160
00:41:40,010 --> 00:41:40,450
cost.

1161
00:41:41,130 --> 00:41:43,870
Yes, because they're doing there's a bunch of

1162
00:41:43,870 --> 00:41:45,350
tricks that they're up to.

1163
00:41:45,630 --> 00:41:46,450
Oh, fine.

1164
00:41:46,590 --> 00:41:47,910
All right, please, please.

1165
00:41:47,970 --> 00:41:49,710
They're up to tricks A and B.

1166
00:41:49,890 --> 00:41:52,710
They can't get the NVIDIA chips, so they've

1167
00:41:52,710 --> 00:41:54,270
got to come up with some way of

1168
00:41:54,270 --> 00:41:56,450
doing this without going broke.

1169
00:41:57,530 --> 00:41:58,870
This is bull crap.

1170
00:41:58,890 --> 00:41:59,290
Hold on a second.

1171
00:42:00,910 --> 00:42:02,630
Sam Altman on the phone for you.

1172
00:42:02,750 --> 00:42:03,350
Thanks, John.

1173
00:42:03,470 --> 00:42:03,810
Thanks.

1174
00:42:03,930 --> 00:42:04,910
You're keeping my stocks going.

1175
00:42:05,010 --> 00:42:05,450
This is good.

1176
00:42:05,550 --> 00:42:06,410
Thank you very much.

1177
00:42:07,450 --> 00:42:10,290
Regardless, I'm keeping my eye on it.

1178
00:42:10,390 --> 00:42:12,190
I see the pivot to quantum coming.

1179
00:42:12,470 --> 00:42:13,970
They're going to start talking about it.

1180
00:42:14,110 --> 00:42:16,250
That's the problem right there.

1181
00:42:16,250 --> 00:42:16,850
What do you mean?

1182
00:42:17,490 --> 00:42:19,790
You can't pivot to quantum because quantum is

1183
00:42:19,790 --> 00:42:20,550
bull crap.

1184
00:42:20,990 --> 00:42:21,850
Oh, but they're going to.

1185
00:42:21,990 --> 00:42:23,530
Yes, of course it's bull crap.

1186
00:42:23,690 --> 00:42:25,670
So was Pets.com at the time.

1187
00:42:26,770 --> 00:42:28,370
Yes, this is the bubble.

1188
00:42:28,570 --> 00:42:29,190
This is the bubble.

1189
00:42:29,430 --> 00:42:31,070
The pivot to quantum is coming.

1190
00:42:31,370 --> 00:42:31,930
Doesn't matter.

1191
00:42:32,530 --> 00:42:36,110
Let's see what this means to consumers down

1192
00:42:36,110 --> 00:42:37,730
on the ground, you and me in the

1193
00:42:37,730 --> 00:42:38,010
home.

1194
00:42:38,330 --> 00:42:41,370
What does all this incredible investment AI result

1195
00:42:41,370 --> 00:42:41,670
in?

1196
00:42:41,810 --> 00:42:43,870
For that, we only have to go to

1197
00:42:43,870 --> 00:42:47,470
CES 2025, which you used to cover.

1198
00:42:47,870 --> 00:42:48,810
I've been to it.

1199
00:42:49,270 --> 00:42:50,490
I don't think either of us has been

1200
00:42:50,490 --> 00:42:52,850
in over a decade or longer.

1201
00:42:53,070 --> 00:42:54,070
Since COVID, that's for sure.

1202
00:42:54,290 --> 00:42:54,710
Or longer.

1203
00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:57,830
Let's get a report from KTLA's Rich on

1204
00:42:57,830 --> 00:42:58,150
Tech.

1205
00:42:58,350 --> 00:43:01,630
CES 2025 where the tech world descends upon

1206
00:43:01,630 --> 00:43:02,270
Las Vegas.

1207
00:43:02,630 --> 00:43:05,550
This year, over 4,000 exhibitors and over

1208
00:43:05,550 --> 00:43:08,010
130,000 attendees expected.

1209
00:43:08,410 --> 00:43:09,810
Everything must be there.

1210
00:43:10,030 --> 00:43:10,890
All the good stuff.

1211
00:43:11,010 --> 00:43:13,670
All the wonderful enhancements and inventions.

1212
00:43:14,010 --> 00:43:16,790
To check out innovations in AI, smart home,

1213
00:43:17,170 --> 00:43:19,270
cars, and, of course, TVs.

1214
00:43:19,650 --> 00:43:21,970
But big screens are also getting more personal

1215
00:43:21,970 --> 00:43:25,890
thanks to augmented reality glasses like the Xreal1.

1216
00:43:26,090 --> 00:43:27,510
They are connected to my phone.

1217
00:43:27,810 --> 00:43:28,310
Oh, wow.

1218
00:43:28,490 --> 00:43:30,590
Plug them into your phone or computer, and

1219
00:43:30,590 --> 00:43:31,470
suddenly...

1220
00:43:31,470 --> 00:43:34,110
I can see my phone screen now hovering

1221
00:43:34,110 --> 00:43:35,190
in space.

1222
00:43:35,390 --> 00:43:36,010
Mobility.

1223
00:43:36,450 --> 00:43:37,370
I think people want...

1224
00:43:37,370 --> 00:43:38,010
Stop the clip.

1225
00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:43,290
I saw this technology, oh, let's see, probably

1226
00:43:43,290 --> 00:43:44,430
in the 80s.

1227
00:43:44,790 --> 00:43:47,710
You could see your phone screen hovering in

1228
00:43:47,710 --> 00:43:49,130
space from your StarTAC?

1229
00:43:49,590 --> 00:43:50,190
Well, you saw...

1230
00:43:52,150 --> 00:43:54,350
No, these glasses that could do this.

1231
00:43:54,810 --> 00:43:56,510
It was like, and by the way, really

1232
00:43:56,510 --> 00:43:57,450
hard on the eyes.

1233
00:43:57,730 --> 00:43:59,370
You don't notice it at first.

1234
00:43:59,510 --> 00:44:00,770
Hard on the eyes, by the way, to

1235
00:44:00,770 --> 00:44:02,190
look at the person wearing them.

1236
00:44:02,270 --> 00:44:04,690
It's like you're wearing, like, big jam pot

1237
00:44:04,690 --> 00:44:05,210
bottoms.

1238
00:44:05,650 --> 00:44:06,810
It's bad every which way.

1239
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:10,050
I can see my phone screen now hovering

1240
00:44:10,050 --> 00:44:11,270
in space.

1241
00:44:11,690 --> 00:44:11,970
Mobility.

1242
00:44:12,270 --> 00:44:13,450
I think people want...

1243
00:44:13,450 --> 00:44:14,230
Hold on a second.

1244
00:44:15,630 --> 00:44:17,150
Why did you just use the phone?

1245
00:44:17,390 --> 00:44:20,630
You got your phone in your hand, and

1246
00:44:20,630 --> 00:44:22,410
now you can see the phone screen hovering

1247
00:44:22,410 --> 00:44:23,050
in space?

1248
00:44:23,190 --> 00:44:23,470
Yes.

1249
00:44:23,510 --> 00:44:24,270
What's the point?

1250
00:44:24,510 --> 00:44:26,470
You got the phone in your hand.

1251
00:44:27,110 --> 00:44:29,310
What do you need it hovering in space

1252
00:44:29,310 --> 00:44:29,710
for?

1253
00:44:29,790 --> 00:44:31,150
So you can go, oh, wow.

1254
00:44:31,150 --> 00:44:33,350
I mean...

1255
00:44:35,230 --> 00:44:36,870
Spoons in space!

1256
00:44:37,090 --> 00:44:38,530
Hovering in space.

1257
00:44:38,730 --> 00:44:39,230
Mobility.

1258
00:44:39,550 --> 00:44:41,610
I think people want to take their entertainment,

1259
00:44:41,870 --> 00:44:43,050
their work, on the go.

1260
00:44:43,230 --> 00:44:43,730
On the go.

1261
00:44:43,950 --> 00:44:44,450
On the go.

1262
00:44:44,550 --> 00:44:45,810
On the go, John.

1263
00:44:46,070 --> 00:44:47,050
It's on the go.

1264
00:44:47,530 --> 00:44:49,410
Which it already is, but now it's on

1265
00:44:49,410 --> 00:44:49,870
your head.

1266
00:44:50,270 --> 00:44:51,570
It's gotta be an improvement.

1267
00:44:51,850 --> 00:44:53,770
Entertainment, their work, on the go.

1268
00:44:53,970 --> 00:44:56,230
Samsung teaming up with the Museum of Modern

1269
00:44:56,230 --> 00:44:58,610
Art to provide high-quality artwork to its

1270
00:44:58,610 --> 00:44:59,390
frame TVs.

1271
00:44:59,390 --> 00:45:01,330
Oh, haven't seen that before.

1272
00:45:02,110 --> 00:45:03,870
Oh, I've never heard of such a thing.

1273
00:45:04,310 --> 00:45:05,930
Which look like a print when not in

1274
00:45:05,930 --> 00:45:06,270
use.

1275
00:45:06,610 --> 00:45:09,290
Samsung promoting a vision of AI for all.

1276
00:45:09,450 --> 00:45:10,750
You're gonna be able to just live your

1277
00:45:10,750 --> 00:45:13,550
life and let the technology take care of

1278
00:45:13,550 --> 00:45:14,950
that back-end work for you?

1279
00:45:15,110 --> 00:45:16,710
All our back-end work, they're gonna do

1280
00:45:16,710 --> 00:45:17,830
the spreadsheet for us.

1281
00:45:17,950 --> 00:45:18,510
Fire J!

1282
00:45:19,790 --> 00:45:20,310
It's done!

1283
00:45:20,550 --> 00:45:21,090
It's done!

1284
00:45:21,430 --> 00:45:23,390
The technology's gonna do the back-end work

1285
00:45:23,390 --> 00:45:23,630
for us.

1286
00:45:23,650 --> 00:45:24,870
It's gonna just do it for you, yes.

1287
00:45:25,010 --> 00:45:27,570
So you feel empowered by that technology rather

1288
00:45:27,570 --> 00:45:28,190
than overwhelmed.

1289
00:45:28,330 --> 00:45:29,630
And will feel empowered.

1290
00:45:29,790 --> 00:45:32,090
LG wants AI to be more personal for

1291
00:45:32,090 --> 00:45:32,530
users.

1292
00:45:32,890 --> 00:45:35,870
We're looking at it as affectionate intelligence.

1293
00:45:36,130 --> 00:45:38,670
And affectionate intelligence means if we're affectionate, we

1294
00:45:38,670 --> 00:45:39,090
care.

1295
00:45:39,430 --> 00:45:41,990
So I think whenever you start changing the

1296
00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:44,830
name of a new technology from artificial to

1297
00:45:44,830 --> 00:45:47,170
affectionate, I think they're in trouble.

1298
00:45:47,370 --> 00:45:50,130
...and entrepreneur, Will.i.am on hand to

1299
00:45:50,130 --> 00:45:52,490
talk about his new LG XBOOM speakers.

1300
00:45:52,590 --> 00:45:54,210
He's got speakers with AI!

1301
00:45:54,550 --> 00:45:57,050
Which are tuned for balance and warm sound.

1302
00:45:57,230 --> 00:45:59,070
They also have an AI DJ to mix

1303
00:45:59,070 --> 00:46:00,350
personalized music.

1304
00:46:00,970 --> 00:46:01,610
No, brother.

1305
00:46:03,230 --> 00:46:05,230
This is the must-see show for any

1306
00:46:05,230 --> 00:46:05,770
tech lover.

1307
00:46:06,250 --> 00:46:07,670
No, I don't think so.

1308
00:46:07,910 --> 00:46:10,130
That is not the tech lover in me.

1309
00:46:13,330 --> 00:46:14,230
Oh, boy.

1310
00:46:14,970 --> 00:46:17,010
I did run across, just to wrap this

1311
00:46:17,010 --> 00:46:19,070
segment up, I ran across a very interesting

1312
00:46:19,070 --> 00:46:27,570
Freakonomics episode with computer scientist Ben Zhao He's

1313
00:46:29,630 --> 00:46:33,810
an AI skeptic but he has some tips

1314
00:46:33,810 --> 00:46:35,370
this is an early tip of the day

1315
00:46:35,370 --> 00:46:39,670
for artists out there how to help bring

1316
00:46:39,670 --> 00:46:42,690
AI to its knees to create more AI

1317
00:46:42,690 --> 00:46:45,210
slop with two tools which he will mention

1318
00:46:45,210 --> 00:46:45,850
by name.

1319
00:46:46,150 --> 00:46:49,270
So Zhao's solution was to poison the system

1320
00:46:49,270 --> 00:46:50,470
that was causing this trouble.

1321
00:46:50,990 --> 00:46:53,110
Poison is sort of a technical term in

1322
00:46:53,110 --> 00:46:56,970
the research community basically it means manipulating training

1323
00:46:56,970 --> 00:46:59,250
data in such a way to get AI

1324
00:46:59,250 --> 00:47:02,950
models to do something perhaps unexpected perhaps more

1325
00:47:02,950 --> 00:47:05,990
to your goals than the original trainers intended

1326
00:47:05,990 --> 00:47:06,270
to.

1327
00:47:06,710 --> 00:47:09,230
They came up with two poisoning tools, one

1328
00:47:09,230 --> 00:47:11,590
called Glaze, the other Nightshade.

1329
00:47:12,050 --> 00:47:14,730
Glaze is all about making it harder to

1330
00:47:14,730 --> 00:47:17,450
target and mimic individual artists.

1331
00:47:18,230 --> 00:47:20,930
Nightshade is a little bit more far-reaching.

1332
00:47:21,530 --> 00:47:24,990
Its goal is primarily to make training on

1333
00:47:24,990 --> 00:47:28,010
internet scraped data more expensive than it is

1334
00:47:28,010 --> 00:47:28,270
now.

1335
00:47:28,990 --> 00:47:32,350
Perhaps more expensive than actually licensing legitimate data

1336
00:47:32,350 --> 00:47:35,090
which ultimately is our hope that this would

1337
00:47:35,090 --> 00:47:37,630
push some of these AI companies to seek

1338
00:47:37,630 --> 00:47:40,790
out legitimate licensing deals with artists so that

1339
00:47:40,790 --> 00:47:42,730
they can properly be compensated.

1340
00:47:43,330 --> 00:47:47,570
Glaze and Nightshade so to the human eye

1341
00:47:47,570 --> 00:47:50,650
there's no difference but it does something with

1342
00:47:50,650 --> 00:47:53,690
the image itself and it messes up the

1343
00:47:53,690 --> 00:47:54,010
AI.

1344
00:47:54,210 --> 00:47:55,630
AI poisoning.

1345
00:47:55,850 --> 00:47:56,990
This is very intricate.

1346
00:47:57,350 --> 00:47:58,650
This sounds like bull crap.

1347
00:47:58,690 --> 00:48:00,190
Everything is bull crap to you.

1348
00:48:00,410 --> 00:48:01,290
It's not.

1349
00:48:01,750 --> 00:48:02,710
Today's theme.

1350
00:48:03,190 --> 00:48:03,770
Bull crap.

1351
00:48:06,110 --> 00:48:08,050
No, it's proven to work.

1352
00:48:08,570 --> 00:48:11,370
I go to one of these systems and

1353
00:48:11,370 --> 00:48:12,870
I download something and tell it to make

1354
00:48:12,870 --> 00:48:14,170
it look like a Monet and it gives

1355
00:48:14,170 --> 00:48:15,110
me some product.

1356
00:48:15,590 --> 00:48:17,470
What do these other things got to do

1357
00:48:17,470 --> 00:48:17,810
with it?

1358
00:48:18,070 --> 00:48:20,730
So that if you put your artwork out

1359
00:48:20,730 --> 00:48:22,850
there when the AI goes to ingest that

1360
00:48:22,850 --> 00:48:25,710
and steal your soul it will either not

1361
00:48:25,710 --> 00:48:26,490
be able to ingest it.

1362
00:48:26,610 --> 00:48:29,090
I got my artwork posted someplace.

1363
00:48:29,590 --> 00:48:31,450
How does glaze fit into the picture?

1364
00:48:31,590 --> 00:48:34,210
Do I have to put my artwork through

1365
00:48:34,210 --> 00:48:36,070
glaze and then post it that way?

1366
00:48:36,070 --> 00:48:36,870
Yes, correct.

1367
00:48:37,090 --> 00:48:38,850
So it's like a watermarking system.

1368
00:48:39,010 --> 00:48:39,570
No, it's not.

1369
00:48:40,050 --> 00:48:42,110
It's the same idea.

1370
00:48:42,110 --> 00:48:49,010
You embed code into the artwork and that

1371
00:48:49,010 --> 00:48:51,870
embedded code is like, it's just, I don't

1372
00:48:51,870 --> 00:48:53,250
see the difference between that and a watermark.

1373
00:48:53,290 --> 00:48:53,690
It's better.

1374
00:48:53,950 --> 00:48:55,790
A watermark is used for identification but in

1375
00:48:55,790 --> 00:48:57,550
this case it's used to screw up the

1376
00:48:57,550 --> 00:48:58,890
AI model.

1377
00:48:59,090 --> 00:48:59,310
Yes.

1378
00:48:59,830 --> 00:49:01,310
So everyone has to do that.

1379
00:49:02,750 --> 00:49:03,990
How does this change?

1380
00:49:04,690 --> 00:49:06,210
Picasso is not going to do that.

1381
00:49:07,890 --> 00:49:08,630
He's dead.

1382
00:49:08,790 --> 00:49:09,070
Okay.

1383
00:49:10,010 --> 00:49:11,710
I'm sorry I even brought it up with

1384
00:49:11,710 --> 00:49:12,110
you, Boomer.

1385
00:49:12,210 --> 00:49:13,630
No, I'm glad you brought it up because

1386
00:49:13,630 --> 00:49:15,470
it just shows you the futility of trying

1387
00:49:15,470 --> 00:49:16,850
to put a stop to it with these

1388
00:49:16,850 --> 00:49:17,530
cheap tricks.

1389
00:49:19,450 --> 00:49:21,250
I'm all for poisoning AI.

1390
00:49:21,550 --> 00:49:23,190
I just like how it sounds.

1391
00:49:23,310 --> 00:49:24,150
I like the whole idea.

1392
00:49:24,230 --> 00:49:25,090
I like being a radical.

1393
00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:27,030
You're nuts.

1394
00:49:28,950 --> 00:49:29,810
Poison the AI.

1395
00:49:30,070 --> 00:49:32,010
Yes, I'm all for poisoning the AI.

1396
00:49:32,630 --> 00:49:33,030
Why?

1397
00:49:33,490 --> 00:49:35,510
Because I can't take the emails anymore.

1398
00:49:36,790 --> 00:49:38,430
What's the emails telling you?

1399
00:49:38,730 --> 00:49:40,130
Oh, the artists.

1400
00:49:40,570 --> 00:49:41,530
The artists.

1401
00:49:42,430 --> 00:49:43,350
They're crying.

1402
00:49:44,270 --> 00:49:44,730
Crying.

1403
00:49:45,270 --> 00:49:46,930
I don't get any of these emails.

1404
00:49:47,030 --> 00:49:48,290
I think you're imagining this.

1405
00:49:48,350 --> 00:49:49,190
You must be dreaming it.

1406
00:49:49,270 --> 00:49:51,590
So not only is everything I play wrong

1407
00:49:51,590 --> 00:49:53,290
and stupid and not true.

1408
00:49:53,310 --> 00:49:54,350
No, there's a bullcrap game.

1409
00:49:54,350 --> 00:49:54,890
Now I'm lying?

1410
00:49:55,110 --> 00:49:56,530
You just have to put up with it.

1411
00:49:57,650 --> 00:50:00,210
Can you tell donations were low, everybody?

1412
00:50:00,550 --> 00:50:01,930
John is in one of those moods.

1413
00:50:02,090 --> 00:50:03,890
Tina even said to me, oh, John will

1414
00:50:03,890 --> 00:50:06,170
be something to deal with today.

1415
00:50:07,730 --> 00:50:08,390
You're right.

1416
00:50:15,930 --> 00:50:17,370
Good luck with this guy.

1417
00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:20,530
Why does he hate AI so much?

1418
00:50:20,610 --> 00:50:21,850
I mean, there's potential here.

1419
00:50:23,470 --> 00:50:25,410
Why do I hate AI so much?

1420
00:50:26,590 --> 00:50:27,150
I mean, why?

1421
00:50:27,250 --> 00:50:28,290
I don't like it.

1422
00:50:28,350 --> 00:50:29,070
I think it's dumb.

1423
00:50:29,370 --> 00:50:31,270
I think it's expensive, stupid, and it just

1424
00:50:31,270 --> 00:50:33,690
does images and sound and we have an

1425
00:50:33,690 --> 00:50:36,930
end of show mix, which is okay, done

1426
00:50:36,930 --> 00:50:37,550
by AI.

1427
00:50:37,950 --> 00:50:39,210
But it's not...

1428
00:50:39,210 --> 00:50:41,010
I did a test because one of the

1429
00:50:41,010 --> 00:50:43,070
artists was like...

1430
00:50:43,850 --> 00:50:45,510
Okay, which artist was this?

1431
00:50:45,710 --> 00:50:46,570
I'm not going to tell you.

1432
00:50:46,830 --> 00:50:47,410
No, no, no.

1433
00:50:47,530 --> 00:50:48,990
It's between me and the artist.

1434
00:50:49,910 --> 00:50:52,210
And the artist says to me, you know,

1435
00:50:52,350 --> 00:50:55,590
this sucks and I said, you know, it's

1436
00:50:55,590 --> 00:50:58,010
a tool and it still works for now

1437
00:50:58,010 --> 00:50:59,110
until we poison it.

1438
00:50:59,110 --> 00:51:03,050
But it's a tool and there's no way

1439
00:51:03,050 --> 00:51:08,410
that AI can create an image by itself

1440
00:51:08,410 --> 00:51:12,150
without the soul of the artist going into

1441
00:51:12,150 --> 00:51:12,310
it.

1442
00:51:12,370 --> 00:51:14,110
Now, that may go in the form of

1443
00:51:14,110 --> 00:51:14,610
a prompt.

1444
00:51:14,730 --> 00:51:18,930
I mean, when we got graphics generation programs

1445
00:51:18,930 --> 00:51:19,230
and...

1446
00:51:19,710 --> 00:51:22,290
Actually, I ought to stop you because JC,

1447
00:51:22,630 --> 00:51:25,370
my son who's into this stuff, he has

1448
00:51:25,370 --> 00:51:25,750
an interest.

1449
00:51:26,130 --> 00:51:28,410
He remarks pretty much the same way you

1450
00:51:28,410 --> 00:51:31,910
just did which is it can't just dream

1451
00:51:31,910 --> 00:51:32,970
something up.

1452
00:51:33,370 --> 00:51:36,190
It can't actually create which means it's not

1453
00:51:36,190 --> 00:51:37,230
really AI.

1454
00:51:37,430 --> 00:51:39,510
There's no intelligence involved.

1455
00:51:40,010 --> 00:51:43,010
So you're complaining about just a robotic function.

1456
00:51:43,730 --> 00:51:44,430
No, no.

1457
00:51:44,710 --> 00:51:45,930
I'm with you.

1458
00:51:46,070 --> 00:51:46,710
I'm with JC.

1459
00:51:46,930 --> 00:51:49,550
What I'm saying to the artist is you're

1460
00:51:49,550 --> 00:51:50,090
wrong.

1461
00:51:50,910 --> 00:51:52,930
You are wrong because...

1462
00:51:52,930 --> 00:51:53,170
The artist.

1463
00:51:53,370 --> 00:51:53,730
The artist.

1464
00:51:54,030 --> 00:51:55,930
And I had an example which I had

1465
00:51:55,930 --> 00:51:56,890
the output for.

1466
00:51:57,550 --> 00:52:00,650
I said, I took the entire transcript of

1467
00:52:00,650 --> 00:52:05,250
episode 1732 so the AI had the entire

1468
00:52:05,250 --> 00:52:05,670
show.

1469
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,890
They know what we talked about.

1470
00:52:08,110 --> 00:52:09,990
They know what we laughed about.

1471
00:52:10,310 --> 00:52:12,910
They knew all the things of all the

1472
00:52:12,910 --> 00:52:13,970
topics and everything.

1473
00:52:14,270 --> 00:52:15,330
The AI had it all.

1474
00:52:15,610 --> 00:52:16,190
It's an it, by the way.

1475
00:52:16,370 --> 00:52:16,610
Go on.

1476
00:52:19,910 --> 00:52:21,350
I don't know what the pronoun is.

1477
00:52:21,610 --> 00:52:22,650
Is AI...

1478
00:52:22,650 --> 00:52:22,750
It.

1479
00:52:22,910 --> 00:52:23,010
It.

1480
00:52:23,210 --> 00:52:24,430
Is an it.

1481
00:52:24,590 --> 00:52:24,830
Okay.

1482
00:52:24,910 --> 00:52:25,310
It's an it.

1483
00:52:25,310 --> 00:52:27,950
And I said, in fact, if you go

1484
00:52:27,950 --> 00:52:33,990
to crapart.noagendanotes.com Crap art?

1485
00:52:34,170 --> 00:52:34,630
Yes.

1486
00:52:34,790 --> 00:52:35,530
Crap art.

1487
00:52:36,030 --> 00:52:37,310
This is one of your new...

1488
00:52:38,150 --> 00:52:39,010
Crap art.

1489
00:52:39,250 --> 00:52:40,030
Go to it.

1490
00:52:40,110 --> 00:52:41,610
It's HTTP, by the way.

1491
00:52:41,710 --> 00:52:42,770
Not HTTPS.

1492
00:52:43,270 --> 00:52:45,250
And I said, this is the prompt given

1493
00:52:45,250 --> 00:52:46,150
to ChatGPT.

1494
00:52:46,270 --> 00:52:48,490
Using this transcript of the No Agenda podcast,

1495
00:52:48,730 --> 00:52:50,850
and there's the link, create an image that

1496
00:52:50,850 --> 00:52:53,870
displays in a humorous topical way something that

1497
00:52:53,870 --> 00:52:54,170
will grab...

1498
00:52:54,170 --> 00:52:55,930
Oh, this is interesting what you did.

1499
00:52:56,170 --> 00:52:57,290
Let me tell you why.

1500
00:52:57,370 --> 00:52:58,390
Let me finish the sentence.

1501
00:52:58,890 --> 00:53:00,850
Create an image that displays in a humorous

1502
00:53:00,850 --> 00:53:03,310
topical way something that will grab people's attention

1503
00:53:03,310 --> 00:53:05,330
and entice them to listen to the episode.

1504
00:53:06,070 --> 00:53:08,130
And then the result came back, and I

1505
00:53:08,130 --> 00:53:09,110
will read it first.

1506
00:53:09,470 --> 00:53:12,470
Here's the humorous and attention-grabbing illustration inspired

1507
00:53:12,470 --> 00:53:15,370
by the No Agenda podcast episode 1732.

1508
00:53:15,770 --> 00:53:18,570
It combines satire, bold visuals, and a playful

1509
00:53:18,570 --> 00:53:20,570
approach to the themes mentioned in the episode.

1510
00:53:20,910 --> 00:53:22,590
Let me know if you need any adjustments.

1511
00:53:23,110 --> 00:53:25,110
Now you tell me, would we choose that

1512
00:53:25,110 --> 00:53:25,330
art?

1513
00:53:26,230 --> 00:53:28,010
Oh, I have to go look at it.

1514
00:53:28,470 --> 00:53:29,950
I can't believe...

1515
00:53:29,950 --> 00:53:31,330
Everyone's looking at it.

1516
00:53:32,170 --> 00:53:32,590
But me.

1517
00:53:32,750 --> 00:53:33,210
But you.

1518
00:53:33,970 --> 00:53:34,830
Crap AI?

1519
00:53:35,270 --> 00:53:39,930
No, crapart.noagendanotes.com crapart.noagendanotes.com Oh,

1520
00:53:39,930 --> 00:53:40,110
brother.

1521
00:53:40,330 --> 00:53:40,730
Crap.

1522
00:53:41,350 --> 00:53:41,910
One word.

1523
00:53:42,190 --> 00:53:42,710
Crapart.

1524
00:53:43,350 --> 00:53:43,630
Dot.

1525
00:53:43,710 --> 00:53:44,150
Dot.

1526
00:53:44,250 --> 00:53:45,350
No agenda notes.

1527
00:53:46,490 --> 00:53:47,710
No agenda notes.

1528
00:53:47,710 --> 00:53:47,990
Dot com.

1529
00:53:49,950 --> 00:53:54,100
Crapart.noagendanotes.com Crapart.noagendanotes.com AI cannot

1530
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:54,860
do what art is doing.

1531
00:53:54,940 --> 00:53:55,840
Here's the artwork.

1532
00:53:56,980 --> 00:53:57,620
This is the...

1533
00:53:57,620 --> 00:53:59,340
You're talking about the army of this thing?

1534
00:53:59,540 --> 00:54:01,800
That's what it produced, based on the entire

1535
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:03,700
knowledge of the entire episode.

1536
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:07,760
Well, you made your point.

1537
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,320
Well, just tell people, would we ever choose

1538
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:10,420
this?

1539
00:54:10,420 --> 00:54:11,540
This is a disaster.

1540
00:54:12,620 --> 00:54:13,260
Thank you.

1541
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:15,480
A disaster.

1542
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,600
Because there is no intelligence, there's no humor,

1543
00:54:18,740 --> 00:54:19,360
there's no soul.

1544
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,240
Well, that's the interesting thing.

1545
00:54:21,380 --> 00:54:22,860
That's what I was going to say, before

1546
00:54:22,860 --> 00:54:25,160
you had to finish the sentence, which was

1547
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:30,440
when you give professional spot artists, the guys

1548
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,840
who do these illustrations for newspapers and magazines

1549
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,240
and every place in between.

1550
00:54:35,300 --> 00:54:36,940
We used to do this at PC Magazine.

1551
00:54:37,180 --> 00:54:38,740
Mac user used to always have a piece

1552
00:54:38,740 --> 00:54:40,480
of spot art for my column that was

1553
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,800
in the back of the I made a

1554
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,420
lot of friends with these artists because I

1555
00:54:44,420 --> 00:54:46,600
always begged them to get the originals and

1556
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,420
I ended up with a lot of art.

1557
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:53,440
And they'd read the article and then something

1558
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:54,820
that would dawn on them, that would be

1559
00:54:54,820 --> 00:54:56,760
a cute illustration, and that's what a spot

1560
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:57,780
artist is good at.

1561
00:54:58,140 --> 00:54:59,520
You'd read the article and then you'd say,

1562
00:54:59,620 --> 00:55:01,660
you know, I think this would draw some

1563
00:55:01,660 --> 00:55:05,380
piece, a little art piece that somehow reflected

1564
00:55:05,380 --> 00:55:06,000
the article.

1565
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:08,700
Very difficult to do.

1566
00:55:09,020 --> 00:55:11,740
In this instance, what you've done is try

1567
00:55:11,740 --> 00:55:14,860
to recreate that system, which is the way

1568
00:55:14,860 --> 00:55:19,280
humans operate, and the AI failed miserably.

1569
00:55:19,300 --> 00:55:19,600
Bigly.

1570
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:21,560
Miserably.

1571
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:21,960
Bigly.

1572
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:22,400
Yes.

1573
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:24,020
I mean, just look at it.

1574
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,720
It's a complete disaster, as a matter of

1575
00:55:27,720 --> 00:55:27,880
fact.

1576
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:28,720
It's a disaster.

1577
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:29,440
Exactly.

1578
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,020
So people should go to this website that

1579
00:55:32,700 --> 00:55:34,580
you have, that you can rewind.

1580
00:55:34,820 --> 00:55:35,680
I'm not going to do it again.

1581
00:55:35,900 --> 00:55:38,600
My point is that when I asked it,

1582
00:55:38,620 --> 00:55:40,880
I didn't say, make it like this, do

1583
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:41,400
it like that.

1584
00:55:41,580 --> 00:55:42,640
That comes from the human soul.

1585
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:43,960
No, you just had to do an original

1586
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:44,620
piece of art.

1587
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:47,020
Yeah, based upon what it heard in the

1588
00:55:47,020 --> 00:55:47,400
episode.

1589
00:55:47,860 --> 00:55:49,840
So a human can listen to our episode,

1590
00:55:49,940 --> 00:55:52,280
or could even read through the transcript, and

1591
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:53,660
could go, oh, I know what I'm going

1592
00:55:53,660 --> 00:55:54,020
to do.

1593
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:55,620
And they come up with ideas.

1594
00:55:55,820 --> 00:55:56,720
That's intelligence.

1595
00:55:57,020 --> 00:55:58,240
That's the human psyche.

1596
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:00,520
That is, that's, it's in your DNA.

1597
00:56:01,380 --> 00:56:04,180
That's the kind of stuff that AI cannot

1598
00:56:04,180 --> 00:56:04,620
do.

1599
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,080
So get to it, hop to it before

1600
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:07,860
it's all poisoned.

1601
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,380
You can still make cool stuff.

1602
00:56:11,660 --> 00:56:13,320
So I'm on your side.

1603
00:56:13,340 --> 00:56:15,720
So you were assuaging the artist.

1604
00:56:16,340 --> 00:56:16,540
Yes.

1605
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,220
This part was part of your long-term

1606
00:56:18,220 --> 00:56:21,160
scheme to get the artist to calm down.

1607
00:56:21,500 --> 00:56:21,860
Yes, of course.

1608
00:56:21,900 --> 00:56:24,340
And just use the tool until it craps

1609
00:56:24,340 --> 00:56:24,680
out.

1610
00:56:24,860 --> 00:56:25,280
Correct.

1611
00:56:26,020 --> 00:56:26,720
Yeah, okay.

1612
00:56:26,980 --> 00:56:27,560
Exactly right.

1613
00:56:27,820 --> 00:56:29,200
I can't call you out on that.

1614
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:29,600
No.

1615
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:30,380
Oh, finally.

1616
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:31,060
I got one.

1617
00:56:31,060 --> 00:56:32,000
A little bit better material.

1618
00:56:32,140 --> 00:56:34,100
Fifty-six minutes in, I've got one thing

1619
00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:34,720
you agree with.

1620
00:56:34,780 --> 00:56:36,640
Well, then let me spin you around, and

1621
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,100
I'll be done for a moment.

1622
00:56:40,500 --> 00:56:43,800
As I predicted, or as I said, what

1623
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:47,520
would needed to happen was, in order for

1624
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,520
crypto to take off in the United States,

1625
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,520
the SEC had to change their SAB-121

1626
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,280
regulation, and they did.

1627
00:56:56,020 --> 00:56:59,700
They rescinded SAB-121, now permitting banks to

1628
00:56:59,700 --> 00:57:04,460
custody crypto, specifically Bitcoin, and it not be

1629
00:57:04,460 --> 00:57:06,640
a liability on their balance sheet.

1630
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:07,900
So they can hold it now.

1631
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,820
They can be an asset holder for customers.

1632
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:13,960
And this is all in part thanks to

1633
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:15,680
the new crypto czar.

1634
00:57:16,380 --> 00:57:19,840
Crypto and AI czar from the All In

1635
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:20,520
podcast.

1636
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,640
A podcaster is a crypto czar in the

1637
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:23,200
administration.

1638
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,400
David Sachs.

1639
00:57:25,460 --> 00:57:27,880
And I've been waiting to figure out what

1640
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,580
they're going to do with stable coin, and

1641
00:57:30,580 --> 00:57:32,180
I think I have it figured out.

1642
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,020
So this executive order bans agencies from developing

1643
00:57:35,020 --> 00:57:36,820
a central bank digital currency.

1644
00:57:36,940 --> 00:57:37,540
Why is that?

1645
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,480
Well, CBDCs are a real threat to freedom

1646
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:41,420
and liberty.

1647
00:57:41,580 --> 00:57:43,660
What you're talking about there is moving to

1648
00:57:43,660 --> 00:57:46,580
a central bank digital currency that would be

1649
00:57:46,580 --> 00:57:49,440
run out of Washington by the Fed, and

1650
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,760
would basically gradually replace cash and catalog everybody's

1651
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:57,340
transactions, and it could lead to new laws

1652
00:57:57,340 --> 00:57:59,100
and dictates about how people spend their money.

1653
00:57:59,460 --> 00:58:01,080
So I think people are very concerned that

1654
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:02,980
that could be an Orwellian path to go

1655
00:58:02,980 --> 00:58:03,180
down.

1656
00:58:03,260 --> 00:58:04,540
No one wants to go down that path,

1657
00:58:04,660 --> 00:58:07,380
and I think we can create stable coins,

1658
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,160
basically digital dollars, without doing that.

1659
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,080
So the executive order is really clear.

1660
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:12,680
We want to create a regulatory framework for

1661
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,280
stable coins, but we don't want to go

1662
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,740
down the path of CBDCs.

1663
00:58:16,180 --> 00:58:18,300
But a digital currency for a government could

1664
00:58:18,300 --> 00:58:19,380
be competition to Bitcoin.

1665
00:58:19,700 --> 00:58:20,880
Did that play into that decision?

1666
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,100
Well, I mean, any government can create a

1667
00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:26,180
stable coin, but I think the U.S.

1668
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,720
dollar is already the world's reserve currency, so

1669
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,900
I'm not really worried about competition there.

1670
00:58:30,940 --> 00:58:32,800
I just want to extend or I believe

1671
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:34,240
that what we should be doing is extending

1672
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,740
the dollar's dominance into digital areas, extend it

1673
00:58:37,740 --> 00:58:40,220
online, and I think that could actually create

1674
00:58:40,220 --> 00:58:42,020
trillions of dollars of demand for U.S.

1675
00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:42,420
treasuries.

1676
00:58:42,580 --> 00:58:45,760
It could be really useful to us in

1677
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,360
basically supporting our debt and also bringing down

1678
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:49,280
long-term interest rates.

1679
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,600
So I don't know about long-term interest

1680
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,900
rates and debt, but I figured it out.

1681
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,320
The regulations or the way the executive order

1682
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,700
reads is anybody can start a company and

1683
00:59:00,700 --> 00:59:04,020
create stable coin, which is typically a stable

1684
00:59:04,020 --> 00:59:04,360
coin.

1685
00:59:04,460 --> 00:59:05,360
I don't know of any others.

1686
00:59:05,860 --> 00:59:07,800
It's pegged to the dollar one-to-one.

1687
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:09,560
So here's how it works.

1688
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,320
You buy a U.S. treasury, which is

1689
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,040
debt, and let's just say you buy $1

1690
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:16,740
treasury.

1691
00:59:16,860 --> 00:59:18,580
It doesn't exist, but a $1 treasury.

1692
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:20,100
So you've spent your dollar.

1693
00:59:20,620 --> 00:59:22,920
You now hold the treasury, and because you

1694
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,100
have that $1 treasury, you can create a

1695
00:59:25,100 --> 00:59:26,260
$1 stable coin.

1696
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:28,120
You get your dollar back.

1697
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:30,640
It's genius.

1698
00:59:32,870 --> 00:59:36,410
Then flood the world with American dollars in

1699
00:59:36,410 --> 00:59:37,650
the form of stable coins.

1700
00:59:38,970 --> 00:59:41,230
This will be interesting because it will result

1701
00:59:41,230 --> 00:59:43,430
in the biggest depression we've ever seen, but

1702
00:59:43,430 --> 00:59:44,830
we'll see how that works out.

1703
00:59:44,850 --> 00:59:45,030
It might.

1704
00:59:45,450 --> 00:59:47,250
I'm not going to argue with you on

1705
00:59:47,250 --> 00:59:49,810
that, but now I understand what they're doing.

1706
00:59:50,870 --> 00:59:52,150
Well, they've got to do something about this

1707
00:59:52,150 --> 00:59:52,570
debt.

1708
00:59:53,470 --> 00:59:54,230
Well, yeah.

1709
00:59:55,750 --> 00:59:57,610
At this point, they can't even do the

1710
00:59:57,610 --> 00:59:59,310
trillion-dollar coin because they need to make

1711
00:59:59,310 --> 00:59:59,990
30 of them.

1712
01:00:00,890 --> 01:00:02,090
37 trillion of them.

1713
01:00:03,090 --> 01:00:03,810
37 coins.

1714
01:00:04,650 --> 01:00:05,750
It's like, wait a minute.

1715
01:00:05,850 --> 01:00:08,090
I just thought, wow, that is an amazing

1716
01:00:08,090 --> 01:00:08,590
trick.

1717
01:00:09,430 --> 01:00:10,810
Well, we'll see how it goes.

1718
01:00:11,850 --> 01:00:12,090
Yeah.

1719
01:00:12,210 --> 01:00:12,710
I like it.

1720
01:00:12,750 --> 01:00:14,210
I mean, you've got to do something, so

1721
01:00:14,210 --> 01:00:15,490
they might as well give this a shot.

1722
01:00:15,690 --> 01:00:15,870
Yeah.

1723
01:00:16,190 --> 01:00:16,550
All right.

1724
01:00:16,610 --> 01:00:17,830
Well, keep our eyes on it.

1725
01:00:18,210 --> 01:00:22,210
And, of course, you could because Tether, the

1726
01:00:22,210 --> 01:00:24,410
biggest stable coin holder, which I think they're

1727
01:00:24,410 --> 01:00:27,570
the ones that are in cahoots with who's

1728
01:00:27,570 --> 01:00:31,670
the guy, the Cantor Fitzgerald, I believe that

1729
01:00:31,670 --> 01:00:35,550
they're also using Bitcoin to back their stable

1730
01:00:35,550 --> 01:00:38,130
coin, which can't be a one-for-one.

1731
01:00:38,250 --> 01:00:39,510
They have to do it like 50%

1732
01:00:39,510 --> 01:00:41,730
or something for the fluctuation.

1733
01:00:42,110 --> 01:00:42,670
But we'll see.

1734
01:00:42,790 --> 01:00:43,210
We'll see.

1735
01:00:43,350 --> 01:00:45,730
But the stable coin is how the American

1736
01:00:45,730 --> 01:00:48,110
dollar is going to just flood the world.

1737
01:00:48,610 --> 01:00:49,810
Everyone's going to be using it.

1738
01:00:49,850 --> 01:00:51,350
And that's what Trump has always wanted.

1739
01:00:52,030 --> 01:00:53,750
He always wants to keep the dollar.

1740
01:00:53,750 --> 01:00:55,430
It'll be the stable coin.

1741
01:00:57,470 --> 01:00:58,710
Four more years, baby.

1742
01:00:58,870 --> 01:00:59,910
Then we're out, you and me.

1743
01:01:00,230 --> 01:01:00,630
And we're done.

1744
01:01:01,810 --> 01:01:04,670
There'll be nothing left to talk about.

1745
01:01:04,850 --> 01:01:06,230
There'll be nothing left to talk about.

1746
01:01:06,250 --> 01:01:07,110
There'll be nothing left.

1747
01:01:09,290 --> 01:01:09,830
All right.

1748
01:01:09,890 --> 01:01:10,270
You're up.

1749
01:01:10,350 --> 01:01:10,750
What you got?

1750
01:01:10,990 --> 01:01:11,310
Okay.

1751
01:01:11,390 --> 01:01:12,390
Well, we got a bunch of stuff.

1752
01:01:12,490 --> 01:01:15,530
We can also talk about the Hegseth because

1753
01:01:15,530 --> 01:01:16,250
we got through.

1754
01:01:16,330 --> 01:01:17,130
Yeah, let's do Hegseth.

1755
01:01:17,870 --> 01:01:20,330
Let's do the rundown from NPR for starters.

1756
01:01:20,330 --> 01:01:21,190
And this is called...

1757
01:01:21,190 --> 01:01:24,130
These three clips are called Trump Rundown Firing

1758
01:01:24,130 --> 01:01:25,410
Hegseth NPR.

1759
01:01:25,690 --> 01:01:26,150
Okay.

1760
01:01:26,770 --> 01:01:29,190
Pete Hegseth was confirmed as Secretary of Defense

1761
01:01:29,190 --> 01:01:29,910
last night.

1762
01:01:30,070 --> 01:01:31,370
A squeaker of a vote.

1763
01:01:31,490 --> 01:01:33,410
This is part of a lightning round that

1764
01:01:33,410 --> 01:01:34,270
was the first week.

1765
01:01:34,510 --> 01:01:34,930
I love it.

1766
01:01:34,990 --> 01:01:35,970
The squeaker of a vote.

1767
01:01:36,050 --> 01:01:36,590
The squeaker.

1768
01:01:36,810 --> 01:01:37,330
The speaker.

1769
01:01:37,630 --> 01:01:40,030
You actually have his voice down pretty well.

1770
01:01:40,090 --> 01:01:40,550
Thank you.

1771
01:01:40,550 --> 01:01:41,850
The new Trump administration.

1772
01:01:42,270 --> 01:01:44,590
A tide of change is sweeping the country.

1773
01:01:44,810 --> 01:01:47,330
Sunlight is pouring over the entire world.

1774
01:01:47,590 --> 01:01:49,890
So this is January 6th.

1775
01:01:49,970 --> 01:01:51,270
These are the hostages.

1776
01:01:52,510 --> 01:01:55,170
Approximately 1,500 for a pardon.

1777
01:01:55,930 --> 01:01:56,130
Yes.

1778
01:01:56,510 --> 01:01:57,090
Full pardon.

1779
01:01:57,450 --> 01:01:59,270
I'll also be signing an executive order to

1780
01:01:59,270 --> 01:02:03,330
begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling

1781
01:02:03,330 --> 01:02:04,930
FEMA or maybe getting rid of FEMA.

1782
01:02:05,110 --> 01:02:06,710
I think, frankly, FEMA's not good.

1783
01:02:06,710 --> 01:02:10,190
President Trump wielded a sharpie to sign pardons

1784
01:02:10,190 --> 01:02:13,450
and commutations for supporters who participated in the

1785
01:02:13,450 --> 01:02:15,130
riot at the U.S. Capitol four years

1786
01:02:15,130 --> 01:02:17,790
ago and a profusion of executive orders.

1787
01:02:18,470 --> 01:02:19,310
Hold on.

1788
01:02:19,770 --> 01:02:20,970
What is a profusion?

1789
01:02:21,350 --> 01:02:22,210
What is a profusion?

1790
01:02:22,650 --> 01:02:23,370
A bunch.

1791
01:02:23,910 --> 01:02:25,430
Why does it just say a bunch?

1792
01:02:26,970 --> 01:02:30,010
You know, NPR, profusion's a good word.

1793
01:02:30,950 --> 01:02:32,350
A riot at the U.S. Capitol four

1794
01:02:32,350 --> 01:02:35,230
years ago and a profusion of executive orders

1795
01:02:35,230 --> 01:02:35,750
and a profusion.

1796
01:02:36,070 --> 01:02:38,630
No wonder they have no listeners.

1797
01:02:38,890 --> 01:02:40,010
They don't understand what they're saying.

1798
01:02:49,750 --> 01:02:50,790
Hold on.

1799
01:02:51,750 --> 01:02:53,670
One of our producers made an excellent point.

1800
01:02:54,390 --> 01:02:56,450
They're all saying inspector generals.

1801
01:02:56,790 --> 01:02:58,710
It's inspectors general.

1802
01:03:00,970 --> 01:03:02,690
Oh, that's a good point.

1803
01:03:03,070 --> 01:03:04,550
Make it sound like they're generals.

1804
01:03:04,550 --> 01:03:06,750
These guys are...

1805
01:03:06,750 --> 01:03:08,770
NPR says 12.

1806
01:03:09,330 --> 01:03:10,010
The Washington...

1807
01:03:10,330 --> 01:03:11,630
I think it was the Washington Post said

1808
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:13,670
15, but there's actually 17.

1809
01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:16,090
Nobody gets these numbers right.

1810
01:03:16,150 --> 01:03:17,490
I mean, how hard can it be?

1811
01:03:17,730 --> 01:03:21,050
It's inspectors general, not inspector generals.

1812
01:03:21,630 --> 01:03:23,750
According to a number of media sources, fired

1813
01:03:23,750 --> 01:03:26,210
at least a dozen inspector generals of major

1814
01:03:26,210 --> 01:03:27,030
federal agencies.

1815
01:03:27,110 --> 01:03:28,710
If you're going to say profusion, you should

1816
01:03:28,710 --> 01:03:30,010
at least say inspectors general.

1817
01:03:30,770 --> 01:03:32,210
NPR's Ron Elving joins us.

1818
01:03:32,310 --> 01:03:33,510
Ron, thanks for being with us.

1819
01:03:33,870 --> 01:03:34,850
Good to be with you, Scott.

1820
01:03:34,990 --> 01:03:36,610
What do we know about last night's firings?

1821
01:03:37,110 --> 01:03:39,550
The inspector general position is a kind of

1822
01:03:39,550 --> 01:03:41,890
in-house watchdog in federal agencies.

1823
01:03:42,350 --> 01:03:43,830
In-house, but independent.

1824
01:03:44,170 --> 01:03:46,130
It's been a source of reform and oversight,

1825
01:03:46,430 --> 01:03:49,070
but also a source of frustration because of

1826
01:03:49,070 --> 01:03:51,750
their independence and uncertainty as to whom they

1827
01:03:51,750 --> 01:03:52,210
answer to.

1828
01:03:52,870 --> 01:03:55,050
Trump sent firing notices to a dozen of

1829
01:03:55,050 --> 01:03:56,730
these last night, some of whom are people

1830
01:03:56,730 --> 01:03:59,370
he himself appointed in his first term.

1831
01:03:59,870 --> 01:04:02,670
And it's unclear what the legal effect of

1832
01:04:02,670 --> 01:04:05,230
this will be, as the law says Congress

1833
01:04:05,230 --> 01:04:07,250
has to get 30 days notice in advance,

1834
01:04:07,410 --> 01:04:08,870
and obviously that didn't happen.

1835
01:04:09,190 --> 01:04:09,890
Well, how do you know?

1836
01:04:10,110 --> 01:04:11,310
How do you know he didn't give 30

1837
01:04:11,310 --> 01:04:12,270
days notice?

1838
01:04:12,450 --> 01:04:12,910
We don't know.

1839
01:04:12,950 --> 01:04:13,930
That's what everyone says.

1840
01:04:14,510 --> 01:04:15,610
Inspector Gadget, you're fired.

1841
01:04:15,850 --> 01:04:16,130
Done.

1842
01:04:18,310 --> 01:04:19,230
Number two.

1843
01:04:20,890 --> 01:04:23,670
Vice President Vance had to cast the tie

1844
01:04:23,670 --> 01:04:26,450
-breaking vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as defense

1845
01:04:26,450 --> 01:04:27,670
secretary last night.

1846
01:04:28,490 --> 01:04:32,030
Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski voted

1847
01:04:32,030 --> 01:04:32,350
no.

1848
01:04:33,070 --> 01:04:35,310
So did Mitch McConnell, former Republican leader.

1849
01:04:35,410 --> 01:04:36,110
What's the significance?

1850
01:04:36,910 --> 01:04:39,070
Murkowski and Collins were expected, and there were

1851
01:04:39,070 --> 01:04:41,930
plenty of reasons for relatively centrist Republicans to

1852
01:04:41,930 --> 01:04:43,170
be unhappy with Hegseth.

1853
01:04:43,430 --> 01:04:45,890
His personal problems, of course, but also his

1854
01:04:45,890 --> 01:04:49,010
views on women and opposition to diversity in

1855
01:04:49,010 --> 01:04:51,270
general in the Defense Department and the Army

1856
01:04:51,270 --> 01:04:52,490
and Navy and so on.

1857
01:04:53,230 --> 01:04:55,110
But McConnell was a surprise.

1858
01:04:55,370 --> 01:04:57,210
He is no longer the party leader in

1859
01:04:57,210 --> 01:04:58,710
the Republican Party in the Senate.

1860
01:04:59,210 --> 01:05:00,610
He is serving out his last term as

1861
01:05:00,610 --> 01:05:02,910
a regular member, so in that role he

1862
01:05:02,910 --> 01:05:05,370
can to some degree be his own man.

1863
01:05:05,950 --> 01:05:08,030
And last night we saw that included the

1864
01:05:08,030 --> 01:05:10,710
desire to resist pressure from Trump when he

1865
01:05:10,710 --> 01:05:12,710
thought Trump had made a bad choice.

1866
01:05:13,190 --> 01:05:14,710
What do you think we're seeing over these

1867
01:05:14,710 --> 01:05:15,470
last few days?

1868
01:05:16,470 --> 01:05:19,770
We didn't call it Trump 2 or Trump

1869
01:05:19,770 --> 01:05:21,830
2.0. It's more like Trump 1.

1870
01:05:22,470 --> 01:05:23,990
More like Trump being the president that he

1871
01:05:23,990 --> 01:05:25,270
wanted to be all along.

1872
01:05:26,010 --> 01:05:27,730
Now, eight years ago, Trump came to Washington

1873
01:05:27,730 --> 01:05:29,830
willing to listen to people who wanted to

1874
01:05:29,830 --> 01:05:30,210
help him.

1875
01:05:30,590 --> 01:05:32,550
People who were part of the power structure

1876
01:05:32,550 --> 01:05:35,070
in the Congress or in the military or

1877
01:05:35,070 --> 01:05:37,150
within the power structure of the Republican Party

1878
01:05:37,150 --> 01:05:37,690
itself.

1879
01:05:38,290 --> 01:05:40,630
He allowed himself to be restrained by some

1880
01:05:40,630 --> 01:05:43,050
of his cabinet members and by his first

1881
01:05:43,050 --> 01:05:44,590
two chiefs of staff.

1882
01:05:44,750 --> 01:05:47,490
It now seems that he very much regretted

1883
01:05:47,490 --> 01:05:49,130
that restraint and things are going to be

1884
01:05:49,130 --> 01:05:51,050
quite different this time around.

1885
01:05:51,230 --> 01:05:52,850
Well, then it's not Trump 1 if it's

1886
01:05:52,850 --> 01:05:53,710
going to be different.

1887
01:05:56,390 --> 01:05:57,890
Collins and Murkowski.

1888
01:05:59,150 --> 01:06:00,470
Collins and Murkowski.

1889
01:06:00,670 --> 01:06:01,750
Collins is the worst.

1890
01:06:01,950 --> 01:06:06,470
She's the only Republican who voted for Xavier

1891
01:06:06,470 --> 01:06:09,530
Becerra, that guy who runs HHS who's got

1892
01:06:09,530 --> 01:06:11,070
no experience whatsoever.

1893
01:06:11,310 --> 01:06:12,850
He's worse than if you're going to compare

1894
01:06:12,850 --> 01:06:14,230
him to Kennedy, for example.

1895
01:06:14,630 --> 01:06:17,090
And she's the one Republican who voted for

1896
01:06:17,090 --> 01:06:17,230
him.

1897
01:06:17,350 --> 01:06:17,690
Why?

1898
01:06:19,110 --> 01:06:21,510
Every Republican said, no, this guy's no good.

1899
01:06:21,870 --> 01:06:23,090
No, no, I'm going to vote for him.

1900
01:06:23,350 --> 01:06:25,810
She had a stroke some years ago.

1901
01:06:26,330 --> 01:06:27,290
She's addled.

1902
01:06:28,550 --> 01:06:29,030
Collins?

1903
01:06:30,550 --> 01:06:31,390
Collins, yeah.

1904
01:06:31,530 --> 01:06:32,570
That's why she talks so funny.

1905
01:06:33,250 --> 01:06:36,990
But Mitch McConnell, he's got some neurological disorder.

1906
01:06:36,990 --> 01:06:39,210
Did you see the latest clip of him?

1907
01:06:39,270 --> 01:06:40,310
He's got brain freeze.

1908
01:06:41,250 --> 01:06:42,430
He just stops.

1909
01:06:43,590 --> 01:06:44,930
He's got something wrong with him.

1910
01:06:44,990 --> 01:06:46,250
He's a candidate for Neuralink.

1911
01:06:46,930 --> 01:06:48,730
But he's the one who said he's an

1912
01:06:48,730 --> 01:06:49,750
apologist for China.

1913
01:06:49,910 --> 01:06:51,230
He voted against Heg Setske.

1914
01:06:51,230 --> 01:06:52,990
He's married to a Chinese lady.

1915
01:06:53,170 --> 01:06:54,570
He's married to a Chinese guy.

1916
01:06:54,710 --> 01:06:56,250
I think she's a Chinese national, too.

1917
01:06:56,370 --> 01:06:57,290
At least was.

1918
01:06:57,650 --> 01:06:59,810
TikTok lady.

1919
01:07:02,130 --> 01:07:03,810
So he's no good.

1920
01:07:03,970 --> 01:07:04,550
He's no good.

1921
01:07:04,550 --> 01:07:05,450
He's no good.

1922
01:07:05,830 --> 01:07:07,850
I don't know what Murkowski's problem is.

1923
01:07:08,530 --> 01:07:10,070
Just think of the name, Murkowski.

1924
01:07:10,250 --> 01:07:11,730
I can't even say Murkowski.

1925
01:07:11,950 --> 01:07:12,550
You're a problem.

1926
01:07:13,370 --> 01:07:15,650
Are they going to be problems with everybody,

1927
01:07:15,750 --> 01:07:16,110
do you think?

1928
01:07:16,130 --> 01:07:16,410
Yep.

1929
01:07:18,030 --> 01:07:18,530
Interesting.

1930
01:07:19,970 --> 01:07:20,770
Final clip.

1931
01:07:22,130 --> 01:07:24,930
The idea seems to be to issue a

1932
01:07:24,930 --> 01:07:27,990
challenge, not just to his rivals or critics,

1933
01:07:28,290 --> 01:07:30,590
but to the entire federal establishment.

1934
01:07:30,790 --> 01:07:32,330
And I think he would like that description.

1935
01:07:32,330 --> 01:07:35,070
The main thing, he feels very empowered.

1936
01:07:35,690 --> 01:07:37,830
No more worries about re-election, so he

1937
01:07:37,830 --> 01:07:39,490
can be the kind of president he always

1938
01:07:39,490 --> 01:07:40,150
wanted to be.

1939
01:07:40,770 --> 01:07:42,630
Try and review some of those items, beginning

1940
01:07:42,630 --> 01:07:45,110
with the January 6th pardons and commutations.

1941
01:07:45,410 --> 01:07:47,310
This move may have been the biggest surprise

1942
01:07:47,310 --> 01:07:48,090
of the week.

1943
01:07:48,350 --> 01:07:51,370
The biggest surprise?

1944
01:07:51,610 --> 01:07:51,970
Really?

1945
01:07:52,170 --> 01:07:53,490
No, everyone knew he was going to do

1946
01:07:53,490 --> 01:07:53,810
this.

1947
01:07:53,930 --> 01:07:54,230
Risk.

1948
01:07:54,730 --> 01:07:57,430
Vice President Vance had said he supported pardons

1949
01:07:57,430 --> 01:08:00,370
for non-violent protesters, but not for those

1950
01:08:00,370 --> 01:08:02,870
who were violent, and especially not those who

1951
01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:03,770
beat on the police.

1952
01:08:04,330 --> 01:08:06,970
But then Trump pardoned almost all of those

1953
01:08:06,970 --> 01:08:11,070
charged, including the organizers, including the ringleaders, including

1954
01:08:11,070 --> 01:08:11,890
the most violent.

1955
01:08:12,290 --> 01:08:14,450
And how do you assess the executive orders

1956
01:08:14,450 --> 01:08:14,970
we've seen?

1957
01:08:15,810 --> 01:08:18,029
They run the gamut from pure fantasy to

1958
01:08:18,029 --> 01:08:18,689
cold reality.

1959
01:08:19,229 --> 01:08:20,250
Deportations are real.

1960
01:08:20,350 --> 01:08:21,029
They have begun.

1961
01:08:21,470 --> 01:08:23,890
But Trump's suggestion that he could really eliminate

1962
01:08:23,890 --> 01:08:25,910
birthright citizenship with a wave of his black

1963
01:08:25,910 --> 01:08:27,649
sharpie was shot down before the week was

1964
01:08:27,649 --> 01:08:27,850
over.

1965
01:08:27,990 --> 01:08:30,189
A federal judge in Seattle who was appointed

1966
01:08:30,189 --> 01:08:33,170
by Ronald Reagan four decades ago called it

1967
01:08:33,170 --> 01:08:35,010
a legal absurdity and clearly unconstitutional.

1968
01:08:35,010 --> 01:08:36,850
I don't know, because he was appointed by

1969
01:08:36,850 --> 01:08:38,670
Ronald Reagan, an old coot?

1970
01:08:40,310 --> 01:08:42,490
Eliminate birthright citizenship with a wave of his

1971
01:08:42,490 --> 01:08:44,310
black sharpie was shot down before the week

1972
01:08:44,310 --> 01:08:44,689
was over.

1973
01:08:45,210 --> 01:08:47,010
A federal judge in Seattle who was appointed

1974
01:08:47,010 --> 01:08:49,990
by Ronald Reagan four decades ago called it

1975
01:08:49,990 --> 01:08:52,649
a legal absurdity and clearly unconstitutional.

1976
01:08:53,609 --> 01:08:55,729
Does President Trump really want to get rid

1977
01:08:55,729 --> 01:08:56,149
of FEMA?

1978
01:08:56,550 --> 01:08:58,990
You can always get cheers at a rally

1979
01:08:58,990 --> 01:09:00,510
by promising to get rid of a federal

1980
01:09:00,510 --> 01:09:00,970
agency.

1981
01:09:01,149 --> 01:09:02,890
And Trump was not saying the federal government

1982
01:09:02,890 --> 01:09:05,390
would never provide any money, but just that

1983
01:09:05,390 --> 01:09:06,430
it wouldn't be up to FEMA.

1984
01:09:06,550 --> 01:09:09,490
He said the agency got in the way.

1985
01:09:10,490 --> 01:09:10,649
Yeah.

1986
01:09:11,810 --> 01:09:13,649
This thinking is not even that crazy.

1987
01:09:13,750 --> 01:09:15,229
But before we get to that, I want

1988
01:09:15,229 --> 01:09:16,229
to stick with Hegseth.

1989
01:09:17,390 --> 01:09:19,970
Because I got Elizabeth Warren here with some

1990
01:09:19,970 --> 01:09:22,850
choice words for our new secretary of defense.

1991
01:09:22,850 --> 01:09:25,770
Pete Hegseth, the Army National Guard veteran and

1992
01:09:25,770 --> 01:09:28,609
Fox News host who Trump nominated to lead

1993
01:09:28,609 --> 01:09:31,569
the Department of Defense, faces a Senate confirmation

1994
01:09:31,569 --> 01:09:33,050
vote later tonight.

1995
01:09:33,569 --> 01:09:36,630
That vote will occur amid Hegseth's own admission

1996
01:09:36,630 --> 01:09:39,529
that he made a $50,000 payment to

1997
01:09:39,529 --> 01:09:41,609
the woman who accused him of sexual assault

1998
01:09:41,609 --> 01:09:42,670
in 2017.

1999
01:09:43,609 --> 01:09:45,950
The revelation was one of the written answers

2000
01:09:45,950 --> 01:09:49,170
that Hegseth provided to Senator Elizabeth Warren in

2001
01:09:49,170 --> 01:09:51,630
response to additional questions that Warren posed to

2002
01:09:51,630 --> 01:09:53,550
Hegseth as part of the vetting process.

2003
01:09:54,110 --> 01:09:56,790
Senator Warren also had much to say about

2004
01:09:56,790 --> 01:10:00,430
these troubling allegations involving Hegseth's drinking habits.

2005
01:10:00,530 --> 01:10:01,090
Here we go.

2006
01:10:01,750 --> 01:10:04,570
The kind of drunk that you take work

2007
01:10:04,570 --> 01:10:08,310
folks to a strip club and so drunk

2008
01:10:08,310 --> 01:10:10,070
then that you try to get up on

2009
01:10:10,070 --> 01:10:11,970
stage and dance with the strippers.

2010
01:10:12,330 --> 01:10:14,830
The kind of drunk that stopped the Uber

2011
01:10:14,830 --> 01:10:16,990
because you're going to vomit drunk.

2012
01:10:17,470 --> 01:10:19,670
Look, I understand there are people who have

2013
01:10:19,670 --> 01:10:24,310
alcohol problems but we cannot trust the safety

2014
01:10:24,310 --> 01:10:28,410
of our country to someone who has demonstrated

2015
01:10:28,410 --> 01:10:33,970
repeatedly using very bad judgment with alcohol and

2016
01:10:33,970 --> 01:10:37,750
doing it in ways that truly have incapacitated

2017
01:10:37,750 --> 01:10:38,150
him.

2018
01:10:38,930 --> 01:10:39,110
Wow.

2019
01:10:40,850 --> 01:10:42,970
Well that reminds me of the smear I

2020
01:10:42,970 --> 01:10:46,610
have the clips here that NPR tried to

2021
01:10:46,610 --> 01:10:46,910
pull.

2022
01:10:47,070 --> 01:10:48,750
This is about a week ago.

2023
01:10:48,950 --> 01:10:53,490
This is Hegseth NBX smear.

2024
01:10:54,350 --> 01:10:55,730
Is NBX, is that NPR?

2025
01:10:55,930 --> 01:10:59,150
Is that like Cute Winter Boots?

2026
01:11:01,150 --> 01:11:02,610
Cute Winter Boots?

2027
01:11:03,110 --> 01:11:03,630
NBX?

2028
01:11:04,330 --> 01:11:06,850
From now on NPR is known as NBX

2029
01:11:06,850 --> 01:11:07,430
on this show.

2030
01:11:08,650 --> 01:11:09,170
NBX.

2031
01:11:09,770 --> 01:11:10,090
Here we go.

2032
01:11:10,190 --> 01:11:12,790
The President's nominee for Secretary of Defense is

2033
01:11:12,790 --> 01:11:15,910
once again facing allegations of alcohol abuse and

2034
01:11:15,910 --> 01:11:16,450
misconduct.

2035
01:11:16,770 --> 01:11:19,470
Yeah, Pete Hegseth endured a round of questions

2036
01:11:19,470 --> 01:11:21,270
about his past as well as his qualifications

2037
01:11:21,270 --> 01:11:23,650
and his nominations made it out of a

2038
01:11:23,650 --> 01:11:25,290
Senate committee on a party line vote.

2039
01:11:25,770 --> 01:11:27,910
The full Senate has yet to vote and

2040
01:11:27,910 --> 01:11:30,070
now his former sister-in-law has added

2041
01:11:30,070 --> 01:11:31,070
her own views.

2042
01:11:31,590 --> 01:11:34,810
She submitted an affidavit to Senators saying Hegseth

2043
01:11:34,810 --> 01:11:37,210
caused his ex-wife to fear for her

2044
01:11:37,210 --> 01:11:37,590
safety.

2045
01:11:37,850 --> 01:11:39,890
Unsurprisingly the affidavit is now public.

2046
01:11:40,170 --> 01:11:42,690
NPR Congressional Correspondent Deirdre Walsh is among reporters

2047
01:11:42,690 --> 01:11:43,590
who obtained copies.

2048
01:11:43,730 --> 01:11:44,330
Deirdre, good morning.

2049
01:11:44,650 --> 01:11:45,290
Good morning, Steve.

2050
01:11:45,370 --> 01:11:47,610
Okay, so what in this document adds to

2051
01:11:47,610 --> 01:11:48,530
what was already known?

2052
01:11:49,010 --> 01:11:51,650
This is an on-the-record signed sworn

2053
01:11:51,650 --> 01:11:53,790
statement from Hegseth's former sister-in-law.

2054
01:11:53,910 --> 01:11:56,070
As you noted Danielle Hegseth, she was married

2055
01:11:56,070 --> 01:11:57,570
to his brother Nathaniel.

2056
01:11:58,070 --> 01:12:00,090
And she states that she was asked to

2057
01:12:00,090 --> 01:12:02,030
provide the statement by the top Democrat on

2058
01:12:02,030 --> 01:12:03,010
the panel Jack Reed.

2059
01:12:03,530 --> 01:12:05,190
Senator Reed told me last night he made

2060
01:12:05,190 --> 01:12:07,290
the request for the details because he didn't

2061
01:12:07,290 --> 01:12:09,870
think the FBI background check on Hegseth was

2062
01:12:09,870 --> 01:12:10,430
adequate.

2063
01:12:11,210 --> 01:12:14,270
Danielle Hegseth says in her personal opinion, Pete

2064
01:12:14,270 --> 01:12:16,270
Hegseth is quote, unfit for the job.

2065
01:12:16,550 --> 01:12:18,850
She says her former sister-in-law Samantha,

2066
01:12:19,150 --> 01:12:21,850
Hegseth's second wife who he divorced, feared for

2067
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:23,630
her personal safety during their marriage.

2068
01:12:23,990 --> 01:12:25,230
She often hid in a closet.

2069
01:12:25,870 --> 01:12:28,170
She said Samantha had a plan about texting

2070
01:12:28,170 --> 01:12:30,110
her a safe word or code word that

2071
01:12:30,110 --> 01:12:32,170
meant she wanted someone to fly to Minnesota

2072
01:12:32,170 --> 01:12:33,070
to help her.

2073
01:12:33,630 --> 01:12:36,490
Danielle Hegseth also said she personally witnessed Hegseth

2074
01:12:36,490 --> 01:12:39,030
intoxicated, yelling in her face.

2075
01:12:39,310 --> 01:12:42,130
She told the FBI that Hegseth abused alcohol

2076
01:12:42,130 --> 01:12:44,230
numerous times over the years, to the point

2077
01:12:44,230 --> 01:12:46,910
of actually passing out during a holiday gathering.

2078
01:12:47,170 --> 01:12:48,870
Well, what does Hegseth say about all that?

2079
01:12:49,630 --> 01:12:51,850
Well, NPR reached out to his attorney, Tim

2080
01:12:51,850 --> 01:12:53,590
Parlatori He has not responded.

2081
01:12:54,030 --> 01:12:56,950
But Parlatori told NBC, which first reported on

2082
01:12:56,950 --> 01:13:00,370
this affidavit, that Samantha Hegseth, this ex-wife

2083
01:13:00,370 --> 01:13:03,610
never alleged any abuse and actually signed court

2084
01:13:03,610 --> 01:13:05,870
documents acknowledging there was no abuse.

2085
01:13:06,150 --> 01:13:08,470
And she affirmed that as part of Hegseth's

2086
01:13:08,470 --> 01:13:09,470
background check.

2087
01:13:09,730 --> 01:13:11,250
I see a book deal coming.

2088
01:13:12,190 --> 01:13:13,130
I see a book deal.

2089
01:13:14,510 --> 01:13:16,090
Let's play this part two, and then I

2090
01:13:16,090 --> 01:13:17,850
can tell you some other details.

2091
01:13:18,250 --> 01:13:20,870
He maintained, Parlatori, that Danielle was, quote, an

2092
01:13:20,870 --> 01:13:23,850
anti-Trump far-left Democrat who was divorced

2093
01:13:23,850 --> 01:13:25,830
from Hegseth's brother and never got along with

2094
01:13:25,830 --> 01:13:26,230
the family.

2095
01:13:26,570 --> 01:13:28,310
He said she has an axe to grind.

2096
01:13:28,870 --> 01:13:31,630
In Samantha Hegseth's case, she told NBC in

2097
01:13:31,630 --> 01:13:33,430
a statement there was no physical abuse.

2098
01:13:33,770 --> 01:13:35,390
She wasn't going to comment on her marriage,

2099
01:13:35,410 --> 01:13:37,830
and she didn't have representatives speaking on her

2100
01:13:37,830 --> 01:13:38,290
behalf.

2101
01:13:39,010 --> 01:13:41,590
It's worth noting that during the public confirmation

2102
01:13:41,590 --> 01:13:44,410
hearing, Pete Hegseth was pressed about previous allegations

2103
01:13:44,410 --> 01:13:48,010
about excessive drinking, inappropriate behavior, which he denied.

2104
01:13:48,230 --> 01:13:50,050
In a broad sense, said they were anonymous

2105
01:13:50,050 --> 01:13:51,910
allegations and so forth.

2106
01:13:52,210 --> 01:13:54,810
I guess the key question here involves Republican

2107
01:13:54,810 --> 01:13:55,530
senators.

2108
01:13:56,050 --> 01:13:57,570
How are they responding to this?

2109
01:13:58,250 --> 01:13:59,550
You know, they're standing behind him.

2110
01:13:59,610 --> 01:14:01,530
I spoke with several last night after this

2111
01:14:01,530 --> 01:14:02,850
affidavit became public.

2112
01:14:03,430 --> 01:14:05,250
Most said they hadn't read the document, but

2113
01:14:05,250 --> 01:14:07,270
they questioned the timing, the motivation.

2114
01:14:08,110 --> 01:14:10,450
Hegseth's nomination is on track for a full

2115
01:14:10,450 --> 01:14:12,730
Senate vote later this week or over the

2116
01:14:12,730 --> 01:14:13,710
weekend at the latest.

2117
01:14:14,270 --> 01:14:16,450
I talked to Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker.

2118
01:14:16,810 --> 01:14:19,790
He told reporters he had grave doubts about

2119
01:14:19,790 --> 01:14:22,590
Danielle Hegseth's account in the affidavit, but he

2120
01:14:22,590 --> 01:14:23,930
also admitted he hadn't read it.

2121
01:14:24,430 --> 01:14:25,910
He said he was planning to review it,

2122
01:14:25,950 --> 01:14:27,570
but he dismissed it as political.

2123
01:14:28,350 --> 01:14:30,830
So far, no Senate Republican has publicly said

2124
01:14:30,830 --> 01:14:33,350
they're going to oppose Pete Hegseth's nomination with

2125
01:14:33,350 --> 01:14:34,630
the 53-seat majority.

2126
01:14:34,810 --> 01:14:36,650
He could lose three Republican votes and still

2127
01:14:36,650 --> 01:14:37,250
get confirmed.

2128
01:14:37,710 --> 01:14:39,570
He's not likely to get any support from

2129
01:14:39,570 --> 01:14:41,190
Democrats, but he's not going to need them.

2130
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,830
Right now, he has the votes.

2131
01:14:43,570 --> 01:14:45,430
So now you're going to smear this woman.

2132
01:14:45,990 --> 01:14:46,930
So here's the thing.

2133
01:14:47,430 --> 01:14:49,430
Why is this report even...

2134
01:14:49,430 --> 01:14:51,690
This is a smear report on the part

2135
01:14:51,690 --> 01:14:53,950
of NPR just to throw these details out

2136
01:14:53,950 --> 01:14:57,170
there about this crazy Danielle girl who's just

2137
01:14:57,170 --> 01:14:58,110
nuts, obviously.

2138
01:14:58,110 --> 01:15:00,670
And this is the same kind of bullcrap

2139
01:15:00,670 --> 01:15:03,310
where somebody reached out to her from the

2140
01:15:03,310 --> 01:15:05,730
Democrat Party saying, can you give us some

2141
01:15:05,730 --> 01:15:06,230
dirt?

2142
01:15:06,350 --> 01:15:06,710
Here's something.

2143
01:15:06,930 --> 01:15:08,250
Why don't you sign this?

2144
01:15:08,270 --> 01:15:09,350
Yeah, like the booth lady.

2145
01:15:10,350 --> 01:15:11,110
Yeah, exactly.

2146
01:15:11,370 --> 01:15:13,210
And it's just this kind of thing.

2147
01:15:13,710 --> 01:15:16,870
To report on this as though there's even

2148
01:15:16,870 --> 01:15:22,150
any hint that is possibly legit is irresponsible.

2149
01:15:22,630 --> 01:15:24,310
And NPR does this constantly.

2150
01:15:24,310 --> 01:15:24,730
Hold on.

2151
01:15:25,190 --> 01:15:26,330
We've cracked the code.

2152
01:15:26,330 --> 01:15:27,310
It wasn't NPR.

2153
01:15:27,970 --> 01:15:29,830
NBX is clearly NBC.

2154
01:15:31,990 --> 01:15:33,250
If you look at the keyboard.

2155
01:15:37,810 --> 01:15:38,290
Well...

2156
01:15:38,290 --> 01:15:39,190
Okay.

2157
01:15:39,550 --> 01:15:43,010
This is an NPR report about the NBC

2158
01:15:43,010 --> 01:15:43,650
report.

2159
01:15:43,730 --> 01:15:44,390
Ah, okay.

2160
01:15:44,530 --> 01:15:44,970
I'm with you.

2161
01:15:45,130 --> 01:15:45,530
I'm with you.

2162
01:15:45,610 --> 01:15:45,990
Got it.

2163
01:15:46,010 --> 01:15:47,830
Because those are the two NPR people.

2164
01:15:47,890 --> 01:15:50,070
I'm still going to call NPR NBX.

2165
01:15:50,730 --> 01:15:51,210
NBC...

2166
01:15:51,210 --> 01:15:54,370
They got the information from NBC and turned

2167
01:15:54,370 --> 01:15:55,290
it into a smear.

2168
01:15:55,470 --> 01:15:57,630
And NBC, of course, is another one that's

2169
01:15:57,630 --> 01:15:59,470
just another bad actor that they would be

2170
01:15:59,470 --> 01:16:01,050
the ones to do this to begin with.

2171
01:16:01,250 --> 01:16:02,930
Well, I'm glad you brought that up.

2172
01:16:04,690 --> 01:16:05,840
Because I have...

2173
01:16:06,510 --> 01:16:07,230
What do I have here?

2174
01:16:08,350 --> 01:16:09,050
I have NBC.

2175
01:16:09,810 --> 01:16:11,790
I have an NBC report from your girl.

2176
01:16:12,630 --> 01:16:13,030
Yummy?

2177
01:16:14,170 --> 01:16:15,430
Oh, my God.

2178
01:16:15,510 --> 01:16:16,170
I saw this.

2179
01:16:16,250 --> 01:16:17,310
I wish I had clipped it.

2180
01:16:18,810 --> 01:16:20,050
She's lost it.

2181
01:16:20,270 --> 01:16:22,450
Also this morning, President Trump is celebrating a

2182
01:16:22,450 --> 01:16:23,750
razor-thin victory.

2183
01:16:23,990 --> 01:16:26,050
His controversial pick to head up the Defense

2184
01:16:26,050 --> 01:16:29,150
Department, Pete Hegseth, has been confirmed thanks to

2185
01:16:29,150 --> 01:16:31,990
a late-night rare tie-breaking vote by

2186
01:16:31,990 --> 01:16:33,490
his vice president, J.D. Vance.

2187
01:16:33,590 --> 01:16:35,850
NBC White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor...

2188
01:16:35,850 --> 01:16:35,950
Wait.

2189
01:16:35,950 --> 01:16:36,050
Hold on a second.

2190
01:16:36,050 --> 01:16:36,590
Stop the clip.

2191
01:16:38,130 --> 01:16:39,790
They've been in office for what?

2192
01:16:39,910 --> 01:16:41,850
Four or five days and this is now

2193
01:16:41,850 --> 01:16:43,070
a rare vote?

2194
01:16:43,310 --> 01:16:43,990
Well, okay.

2195
01:16:44,230 --> 01:16:46,890
So I happen to know what this is.

2196
01:16:47,710 --> 01:16:53,210
Only one other time has an appointee been

2197
01:16:53,210 --> 01:16:56,050
a tie-breaker and that was in 2017

2198
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,510
and that was some woman I forget that

2199
01:16:58,510 --> 01:16:59,290
Trump nominated.

2200
01:17:00,730 --> 01:17:03,150
So a tie-breaker is not rare, but

2201
01:17:03,150 --> 01:17:04,530
they make it sound like this is just

2202
01:17:04,530 --> 01:17:07,990
crazy rare and it's too bad J.D.

2203
01:17:08,030 --> 01:17:08,890
Vance is there.

2204
01:17:09,330 --> 01:17:10,650
Kamala Harris would have voted.

2205
01:17:10,790 --> 01:17:11,670
I don't know what it is.

2206
01:17:11,870 --> 01:17:12,910
Let's get to Yamiche.

2207
01:17:13,010 --> 01:17:15,690
...is in Las Vegas traveling with President Trump.

2208
01:17:15,810 --> 01:17:16,370
Yamiche, good morning.

2209
01:17:17,230 --> 01:17:18,010
Good morning.

2210
01:17:18,210 --> 01:17:20,390
Last night the Senate narrowly voted to confirm

2211
01:17:20,390 --> 01:17:22,710
Pete Hegseth as the new Defense Secretary.

2212
01:17:22,890 --> 01:17:24,870
Vice President J.D. Vance had to cast

2213
01:17:24,870 --> 01:17:27,990
a tie-breaking vote when lawmakers deadlocked 50

2214
01:17:27,990 --> 01:17:28,590
to 50.

2215
01:17:28,890 --> 01:17:30,370
It was only the second time in history

2216
01:17:30,370 --> 01:17:32,430
a Cabinet vote needed a tie-breaker.

2217
01:17:32,970 --> 01:17:34,970
See, that's a lie.

2218
01:17:36,130 --> 01:17:38,210
It's not the first time the Cabinet has

2219
01:17:38,210 --> 01:17:38,850
ever had a tie-breaker.

2220
01:17:38,850 --> 01:17:40,050
Well, I guess if you call it Cabinet.

2221
01:17:40,170 --> 01:17:41,210
Maybe she's right.

2222
01:17:41,370 --> 01:17:43,930
But she kind of makes it sound when

2223
01:17:43,930 --> 01:17:44,710
she talks like this.

2224
01:17:45,750 --> 01:17:46,770
No, she's in tears.

2225
01:17:47,030 --> 01:17:48,790
It seems to come over the reports recently

2226
01:17:48,790 --> 01:17:50,130
that this woman's lost it.

2227
01:17:51,030 --> 01:17:51,550
50.

2228
01:17:52,010 --> 01:17:53,510
It was only the second time in history

2229
01:17:53,510 --> 01:17:55,510
a Cabinet vote needed a tie-breaker.

2230
01:17:55,610 --> 01:17:55,850
What?

2231
01:17:56,770 --> 01:17:58,150
She said second time.

2232
01:17:58,270 --> 01:18:00,370
Yeah, second time Cabinet vote.

2233
01:18:00,470 --> 01:18:01,110
So she's correct.

2234
01:18:01,650 --> 01:18:04,370
Vance stepped in after former Senate Majority Leader

2235
01:18:04,370 --> 01:18:06,370
Mitch McConnell Vance stepped in.

2236
01:18:08,710 --> 01:18:10,830
He's like, oh, I'm J.D. Vance.

2237
01:18:10,870 --> 01:18:12,070
I'm here to stop the proceedings.

2238
01:18:12,630 --> 01:18:15,090
Vance stepped in after former Senate Majority Leader

2239
01:18:15,090 --> 01:18:17,970
Mitch McConnell and two other Republican Senators, Lisa

2240
01:18:17,970 --> 01:18:20,950
Murkowski and Susan Collins joined all Democrats in

2241
01:18:20,950 --> 01:18:22,190
voting against the nomination.

2242
01:18:22,750 --> 01:18:25,150
Hex has got the job despite a number

2243
01:18:25,150 --> 01:18:28,970
of controversies including allegations of alcohol abuse, domestic

2244
01:18:28,970 --> 01:18:31,990
violence, a sexual assault, and the financial mismanagement

2245
01:18:31,990 --> 01:18:33,530
of organizations that he led.

2246
01:18:34,970 --> 01:18:37,230
But wait, there's much more to come.

2247
01:18:37,330 --> 01:18:39,130
Yamiche will be breaking, breaking all over the

2248
01:18:39,130 --> 01:18:40,250
place with the coming nominees.

2249
01:18:40,470 --> 01:18:42,530
President Trump has a number of other nominees

2250
01:18:42,530 --> 01:18:43,810
that still need to make it through the

2251
01:18:43,810 --> 01:18:46,770
Senate with hearings for RFK Jr., Kash Patel,

2252
01:18:46,910 --> 01:18:48,870
and Tulsi Gabbard set for next week.

2253
01:18:49,310 --> 01:18:52,090
Gabbard, Trump's pick for Director of National Intelligence

2254
01:18:52,090 --> 01:18:54,330
has possibly the toughest road ahead.

2255
01:18:54,670 --> 01:18:56,670
She has never worked in the intelligence world

2256
01:18:56,670 --> 01:18:59,850
and has been accused of amplifying Russian propaganda.

2257
01:19:00,630 --> 01:19:02,310
Gabbard has denied the claims.

2258
01:19:02,810 --> 01:19:04,670
C-SPAN is going to be on fire

2259
01:19:04,670 --> 01:19:05,330
this week.

2260
01:19:06,950 --> 01:19:11,090
Russia and Europe, you coddle up to dictators

2261
01:19:11,090 --> 01:19:12,210
like Assad.

2262
01:19:16,270 --> 01:19:17,070
It's amazing.

2263
01:19:17,370 --> 01:19:17,870
It's amazing.

2264
01:19:17,910 --> 01:19:19,210
Well, I think the hearing's going to be

2265
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,470
dynamite with her because she's going to throw

2266
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:21,850
it back.

2267
01:19:22,290 --> 01:19:24,190
Talking about J.D. Vance, that's the bonus

2268
01:19:24,190 --> 01:19:25,090
clip we might as well play.

2269
01:19:25,190 --> 01:19:26,610
This is J.D. Vance, I think it's

2270
01:19:26,610 --> 01:19:31,210
this morning, a recent clip of him on

2271
01:19:32,110 --> 01:19:34,690
I guess it's Face the Nation with Margaret

2272
01:19:34,690 --> 01:19:37,910
Brennan who's jumping all over him on these

2273
01:19:37,910 --> 01:19:38,350
immigrants.

2274
01:19:40,250 --> 01:19:41,910
This is one of those moments where you

2275
01:19:41,910 --> 01:19:43,510
say, well, you know, this guy could have

2276
01:19:43,510 --> 01:19:44,410
been a little harsher.

2277
01:19:44,850 --> 01:19:48,750
If we play this clip, I'm going to

2278
01:19:48,750 --> 01:19:50,490
coach everyone how to be a little harsher

2279
01:19:50,490 --> 01:19:51,010
with this.

2280
01:19:51,230 --> 01:19:53,310
When you talked to us in August, you

2281
01:19:53,310 --> 01:19:55,310
said, I don't think we should abandon anybody

2282
01:19:55,310 --> 01:19:57,410
who's been properly vetted and helped us.

2283
01:19:57,510 --> 01:19:58,310
Do you stand by that?

2284
01:19:58,710 --> 01:20:00,170
Well, Margaret, I don't agree that all these

2285
01:20:00,170 --> 01:20:02,390
immigrants or all these refugees have been properly

2286
01:20:02,390 --> 01:20:02,690
vetted.

2287
01:20:02,830 --> 01:20:04,870
In fact, we know that there are cases

2288
01:20:04,870 --> 01:20:08,130
of people who allegedly were properly vetted and

2289
01:20:08,130 --> 01:20:10,390
then were literally planning terrorist attacks on our

2290
01:20:10,390 --> 01:20:10,690
country.

2291
01:20:10,790 --> 01:20:12,430
That happened during the campaign, if you may

2292
01:20:12,430 --> 01:20:12,810
remember.

2293
01:20:13,170 --> 01:20:15,170
So clearly not all of these foreign nationals

2294
01:20:15,170 --> 01:20:15,350
have been properly vetted.

2295
01:20:15,350 --> 01:20:16,910
But there are 30,000 people in the

2296
01:20:16,910 --> 01:20:18,610
pipeline, Afghan refugees.

2297
01:20:18,610 --> 01:20:21,010
But my primary concern as the Vice President,

2298
01:20:21,190 --> 01:20:23,230
Margaret, is to look after the American people.

2299
01:20:23,630 --> 01:20:25,010
And now that we know that we have

2300
01:20:25,010 --> 01:20:26,990
vetting problems with a lot of these refugee

2301
01:20:26,990 --> 01:20:31,510
programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted

2302
01:20:31,510 --> 01:20:32,670
people into our country.

2303
01:20:32,710 --> 01:20:33,490
These people are vetted.

2304
01:20:34,730 --> 01:20:36,090
Just like the guy who planned a terrorist

2305
01:20:36,090 --> 01:20:37,870
attack in Oklahoma a few months ago, he

2306
01:20:37,870 --> 01:20:39,230
was allegedly properly vetted.

2307
01:20:39,670 --> 01:20:41,310
And many people in the media and the

2308
01:20:41,310 --> 01:20:43,250
Democratic Party said that he was properly vetted.

2309
01:20:43,710 --> 01:20:44,590
Clearly he wasn't.

2310
01:20:44,830 --> 01:20:47,310
I don't want my children to share a

2311
01:20:47,310 --> 01:20:49,550
neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted.

2312
01:20:49,690 --> 01:20:50,970
And because I don't want it for my

2313
01:20:50,970 --> 01:20:52,750
kids, I'm not going to force any other

2314
01:20:52,750 --> 01:20:54,490
American citizen's kids to do that either.

2315
01:20:54,890 --> 01:20:56,670
No, and that was a very particular case.

2316
01:20:56,710 --> 01:20:57,890
It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when

2317
01:20:57,890 --> 01:21:00,270
he got here or while he was living

2318
01:21:00,270 --> 01:21:00,510
there.

2319
01:21:00,750 --> 01:21:01,450
I don't really care, Margaret.

2320
01:21:01,550 --> 01:21:03,290
I don't want that person in my country,

2321
01:21:03,290 --> 01:21:05,010
and I think most Americans agree with me.

2322
01:21:05,010 --> 01:21:07,530
We'll be back in one minute with more

2323
01:21:07,530 --> 01:21:09,310
of our interview with Vice President Banz.

2324
01:21:09,590 --> 01:21:10,970
Thanks for leaving that in.

2325
01:21:11,770 --> 01:21:13,270
So yeah, I left that in.

2326
01:21:13,730 --> 01:21:17,930
So the thing that she said was well,

2327
01:21:18,470 --> 01:21:19,790
and by the way he does a good

2328
01:21:19,790 --> 01:21:23,110
job of conflating the Democrat Party and the

2329
01:21:23,110 --> 01:21:23,390
media.

2330
01:21:23,550 --> 01:21:26,090
He does that pretty slickly that nobody notices.

2331
01:21:26,610 --> 01:21:27,790
She could have called him out on that.

2332
01:21:28,090 --> 01:21:29,670
But he could have called her out when

2333
01:21:29,670 --> 01:21:32,450
she said, well, we don't know whether this

2334
01:21:32,450 --> 01:21:36,170
guy was radicalized over there or when he

2335
01:21:36,170 --> 01:21:37,190
came over here.

2336
01:21:37,890 --> 01:21:40,270
And so the comeback to that would have

2337
01:21:40,270 --> 01:21:43,170
been, Martha, are you telling me that living

2338
01:21:43,170 --> 01:21:45,690
all those years in Afghanistan would have no

2339
01:21:45,690 --> 01:21:46,730
effect on his personality?

2340
01:21:46,910 --> 01:21:48,710
And then when he comes into the United

2341
01:21:48,710 --> 01:21:52,430
States of America, here he gets radicalized to

2342
01:21:52,430 --> 01:21:53,270
become a terrorist?

2343
01:21:53,450 --> 01:21:54,370
Is that what you're saying?

2344
01:21:54,450 --> 01:21:55,770
Is that what you're trying to tell me?

2345
01:21:56,570 --> 01:21:58,130
And that would have turned the table.

2346
01:21:58,270 --> 01:22:00,510
She would have not been able to deal

2347
01:22:00,510 --> 01:22:00,970
with that.

2348
01:22:00,970 --> 01:22:02,330
But he's a nice guy.

2349
01:22:02,650 --> 01:22:04,430
He's trying to be a nice guy.

2350
01:22:04,950 --> 01:22:07,990
Well, he can be pretty sharp.

2351
01:22:08,150 --> 01:22:08,670
He's a nice guy.

2352
01:22:08,750 --> 01:22:11,950
I think he missed an opportunity to throw

2353
01:22:11,950 --> 01:22:12,390
it at her.

2354
01:22:12,970 --> 01:22:13,370
Yeah.

2355
01:22:14,070 --> 01:22:15,250
He's already Vice President.

2356
01:22:15,350 --> 01:22:16,010
He's laughing.

2357
01:22:16,190 --> 01:22:17,190
He's like, I'm Vice President.

2358
01:22:17,370 --> 01:22:18,130
I don't care what you say.

2359
01:22:18,610 --> 01:22:20,070
Well, I'd like to have seen it.

2360
01:22:20,370 --> 01:22:22,290
I have a couple of quickies here as

2361
01:22:23,950 --> 01:22:25,630
President Trump has been doing all kinds of

2362
01:22:25,630 --> 01:22:26,290
interesting stuff.

2363
01:22:26,390 --> 01:22:28,130
Of course, we talked about some of this

2364
01:22:28,130 --> 01:22:29,630
on Thursday, but these are all for short,

2365
01:22:29,750 --> 01:22:30,590
less than half a minute.

2366
01:22:30,730 --> 01:22:33,030
Next tonight, President Trump has revoked the security

2367
01:22:33,030 --> 01:22:35,910
detail assigned to Dr. Anthony Fauci, according to

2368
01:22:35,910 --> 01:22:36,290
sources.

2369
01:22:36,790 --> 01:22:39,230
Dr. Fauci was the President's top COVID advisor

2370
01:22:39,230 --> 01:22:41,690
during his first term and has faced regular

2371
01:22:41,690 --> 01:22:43,410
threats on his life for years.

2372
01:22:43,870 --> 01:22:46,330
Trump has also revoked security for three other

2373
01:22:46,330 --> 01:22:48,930
former advisors who faced threats from Iran.

2374
01:22:49,670 --> 01:22:52,090
In North Carolina today, Trump said they all

2375
01:22:52,090 --> 01:22:53,050
have made a lot of money.

2376
01:22:53,490 --> 01:22:55,470
They can hire their own security, too.

2377
01:22:56,290 --> 01:22:58,230
Then, this has got to be my favorite,

2378
01:22:58,490 --> 01:23:02,050
because it is the season of reveal.

2379
01:23:02,690 --> 01:23:05,330
Lastly, sir, we have an executive order ordering

2380
01:23:05,330 --> 01:23:09,530
the declassification of files relating to the assassinations

2381
01:23:09,530 --> 01:23:10,630
of President John F.

2382
01:23:10,710 --> 01:23:12,490
Kennedy, Senator Robert F.

2383
01:23:12,570 --> 01:23:15,310
Kennedy, and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

2384
01:23:15,330 --> 01:23:16,510
That's a big one, huh?

2385
01:23:17,750 --> 01:23:19,210
A lot of people are waiting for this

2386
01:23:19,210 --> 01:23:20,310
for a long few years.

2387
01:23:21,190 --> 01:23:22,730
For decades.

2388
01:23:28,070 --> 01:23:29,330
Everything will be revealed.

2389
01:23:32,070 --> 01:23:34,590
I know you totally played that clip.

2390
01:23:34,750 --> 01:23:35,770
You know it.

2391
01:23:36,010 --> 01:23:37,350
Everything will be revealed.

2392
01:23:37,550 --> 01:23:38,890
I had that clip.

2393
01:23:39,050 --> 01:23:40,350
I was saying, I'm not putting this clip

2394
01:23:40,350 --> 01:23:40,710
out there.

2395
01:23:41,590 --> 01:23:44,370
It's the year of reveal or some horseshit.

2396
01:23:44,530 --> 01:23:45,870
Season of reveal.

2397
01:23:46,890 --> 01:23:49,710
This is another promise made and kept.

2398
01:23:50,090 --> 01:23:50,650
Season.

2399
01:23:51,470 --> 01:23:53,930
This is an important one for the black

2400
01:23:53,930 --> 01:23:56,070
voters, because that's what this was all about.

2401
01:23:56,130 --> 01:23:58,870
The administration has withdrawn a proposed rule that

2402
01:23:58,870 --> 01:24:01,670
would ban menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.

2403
01:24:02,130 --> 01:24:04,190
A menthol ban had been a top priority

2404
01:24:04,190 --> 01:24:06,070
for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

2405
01:24:06,070 --> 01:24:08,450
when former President Joe Biden was in office.

2406
01:24:08,850 --> 01:24:11,290
However, the Biden administration never gave the ban

2407
01:24:11,290 --> 01:24:14,370
the green light amid lobbying from stakeholder groups.

2408
01:24:14,650 --> 01:24:15,530
Menthol will stay!

2409
01:24:16,850 --> 01:24:18,050
Menthol cigarettes.

2410
01:24:18,570 --> 01:24:19,210
Very important.

2411
01:24:19,790 --> 01:24:20,230
MASA.

2412
01:24:20,510 --> 01:24:21,990
Make America smoke again.

2413
01:24:21,990 --> 01:24:22,470
It's good.

2414
01:24:22,550 --> 01:24:23,730
We're rocking and rolling.

2415
01:24:24,790 --> 01:24:27,030
So there used to be a product that

2416
01:24:27,030 --> 01:24:27,550
you could get.

2417
01:24:27,970 --> 01:24:29,470
People don't know this.

2418
01:24:29,790 --> 01:24:31,090
I see most of our audience.

2419
01:24:31,350 --> 01:24:32,670
The elders do.

2420
01:24:33,230 --> 01:24:33,890
The elders?

2421
01:24:34,110 --> 01:24:34,570
The elders.

2422
01:24:36,810 --> 01:24:38,790
You used to be able to buy these

2423
01:24:38,790 --> 01:24:41,690
little wooden pegs.

2424
01:24:41,730 --> 01:24:42,890
Very small little thing.

2425
01:24:42,970 --> 01:24:44,650
You'd stick it in the end of a

2426
01:24:44,650 --> 01:24:45,030
cigar.

2427
01:24:45,830 --> 01:24:46,630
And it would blow up.

2428
01:24:47,230 --> 01:24:48,190
And it would blow up.

2429
01:24:50,470 --> 01:24:51,450
I remember those.

2430
01:24:51,550 --> 01:24:52,070
You could stick it in.

2431
01:24:52,130 --> 01:24:54,770
Whatever happened to the exploding cigar?

2432
01:24:54,890 --> 01:24:55,410
They were great.

2433
01:24:55,590 --> 01:24:58,570
It was like a little match.

2434
01:24:58,850 --> 01:24:59,770
And you stuck it.

2435
01:24:59,770 --> 01:25:01,150
I did that to my mom and my

2436
01:25:01,150 --> 01:25:01,910
dad and they hated it.

2437
01:25:01,930 --> 01:25:02,650
Oh you did?

2438
01:25:02,770 --> 01:25:03,230
You would?

2439
01:25:03,490 --> 01:25:04,250
Oh yeah, definitely.

2440
01:25:04,870 --> 01:25:06,550
And they'd light it up and after about

2441
01:25:06,550 --> 01:25:10,370
three puffs, it wasn't really an explosion.

2442
01:25:10,550 --> 01:25:11,210
But it was funny.

2443
01:25:12,610 --> 01:25:14,030
It was kind of an explosion.

2444
01:25:14,190 --> 01:25:16,250
Like a small miniature firecracker.

2445
01:25:16,250 --> 01:25:17,790
I'd blow the end off the thing.

2446
01:25:18,190 --> 01:25:20,470
Yeah, sometimes you're like a smokestack.

2447
01:25:20,630 --> 01:25:21,810
It would go pow like that.

2448
01:25:22,590 --> 01:25:23,510
Like when it was exploded.

2449
01:25:23,770 --> 01:25:26,110
I remember, oh man, my mom, rest in

2450
01:25:26,110 --> 01:25:26,610
peace mom.

2451
01:25:27,050 --> 01:25:27,710
That was funny.

2452
01:25:28,250 --> 01:25:29,210
Those days were good.

2453
01:25:29,490 --> 01:25:30,430
My dad probably egged me on.

2454
01:25:30,430 --> 01:25:32,450
You know your mom smoked cigars, but okay.

2455
01:25:32,930 --> 01:25:34,590
She wore army boots too.

2456
01:25:34,930 --> 01:25:36,210
Cute winter boots.

2457
01:25:37,990 --> 01:25:40,830
Since it was discussed, here's the minute clip

2458
01:25:40,830 --> 01:25:43,290
of President Trump talking about FEMA.

2459
01:25:43,290 --> 01:25:45,310
I'll also be signing an executive order to

2460
01:25:45,310 --> 01:25:49,390
begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling

2461
01:25:49,390 --> 01:25:50,990
FEMA or maybe getting rid of FEMA.

2462
01:25:51,110 --> 01:25:52,790
I think, frankly, FEMA's not good.

2463
01:25:53,850 --> 01:25:56,670
I think when you have a problem like

2464
01:25:56,670 --> 01:25:58,410
this, I think you want to go and

2465
01:25:58,970 --> 01:26:01,530
whether it's a Democrat or Republican governor, you

2466
01:26:01,530 --> 01:26:03,190
want to use your state to fix it

2467
01:26:03,190 --> 01:26:05,990
and not waste time calling FEMA and then

2468
01:26:05,990 --> 01:26:07,490
FEMA gets here and they don't know the

2469
01:26:07,490 --> 01:26:09,590
area, they've never been to the area and

2470
01:26:09,590 --> 01:26:11,850
they want to give you rules that you've

2471
01:26:11,850 --> 01:26:12,650
never heard about.

2472
01:26:12,830 --> 01:26:14,550
They want to bring people that aren't as

2473
01:26:14,550 --> 01:26:17,010
good as the people you already have and

2474
01:26:17,010 --> 01:26:19,350
FEMA's turned out to be a disaster.

2475
01:26:19,910 --> 01:26:21,510
And you could go back a long way.

2476
01:26:21,670 --> 01:26:23,670
You could go back to Louisiana.

2477
01:26:24,010 --> 01:26:25,270
You could go back to some of the

2478
01:26:25,270 --> 01:26:26,610
things that took place in Texas.

2479
01:26:26,850 --> 01:26:29,110
It turns out to be the state that

2480
01:26:29,110 --> 01:26:30,050
ends up doing the work.

2481
01:26:30,110 --> 01:26:31,130
It just complicates it.

2482
01:26:31,170 --> 01:26:32,530
I think we're going to recommend that FEMA

2483
01:26:32,530 --> 01:26:34,970
go away and we pay directly.

2484
01:26:35,090 --> 01:26:36,670
We pay a percentage to the state.

2485
01:26:37,270 --> 01:26:38,810
But the state should fix this.

2486
01:26:38,810 --> 01:26:41,070
If the state did this from the beginning

2487
01:26:41,070 --> 01:26:42,550
it would have been a lot better situation.

2488
01:26:42,650 --> 01:26:43,830
I think you guys agree with that.

2489
01:26:44,210 --> 01:26:46,130
What are we going to call the FEMA

2490
01:26:46,130 --> 01:26:46,590
camps?

2491
01:26:47,410 --> 01:26:49,250
We can't call them FEMA camps anymore.

2492
01:26:49,970 --> 01:26:52,070
And what FEMA region will I live in?

2493
01:26:52,830 --> 01:26:54,510
I'm in FEMA region number six.

2494
01:26:54,970 --> 01:26:56,870
You're at a crossroads here.

2495
01:26:57,050 --> 01:26:58,470
This is going to change the show.

2496
01:26:59,810 --> 01:27:01,950
Everyone knows the FEMA region they're in.

2497
01:27:01,990 --> 01:27:02,950
What's your FEMA region?

2498
01:27:03,590 --> 01:27:03,930
Six.

2499
01:27:04,250 --> 01:27:04,950
No, I'm in six.

2500
01:27:05,070 --> 01:27:05,530
Are you also?

2501
01:27:05,650 --> 01:27:06,350
You can't be in six.

2502
01:27:06,350 --> 01:27:06,850
I'm in nine.

2503
01:27:07,030 --> 01:27:08,790
You can't be in six.

2504
01:27:09,350 --> 01:27:10,890
Everybody knows their FEMA region.

2505
01:27:11,430 --> 01:27:13,650
I don't know.

2506
01:27:13,810 --> 01:27:15,450
It's probably a good idea.

2507
01:27:15,630 --> 01:27:17,210
It's very expensive, the FEMA.

2508
01:27:17,990 --> 01:27:19,910
It's a horrible operation.

2509
01:27:21,750 --> 01:27:22,310
Brownie.

2510
01:27:22,990 --> 01:27:24,430
Good job, Brownie.

2511
01:27:24,890 --> 01:27:27,670
So then there was the President Trump in

2512
01:27:27,670 --> 01:27:30,770
Los Angeles with the First Lady, man.

2513
01:27:30,970 --> 01:27:31,750
She's great.

2514
01:27:32,010 --> 01:27:33,610
She's going out with him now.

2515
01:27:33,610 --> 01:27:34,930
Our First Lady.

2516
01:27:35,030 --> 01:27:36,190
Very stylish First Lady.

2517
01:27:36,490 --> 01:27:37,890
Hopefully she'll be given her props.

2518
01:27:39,470 --> 01:27:40,950
She got her hat on.

2519
01:27:40,990 --> 01:27:41,890
She got her glasses on.

2520
01:27:41,990 --> 01:27:44,870
Then she had a beanie on, like a

2521
01:27:44,870 --> 01:27:45,670
Tim Pool beanie.

2522
01:27:45,830 --> 01:27:46,270
That was cool.

2523
01:27:48,090 --> 01:27:49,510
So I have two clips.

2524
01:27:49,670 --> 01:27:51,950
The first one is about the permits.

2525
01:27:52,150 --> 01:27:56,910
It was basically President Trump just railing on...

2526
01:27:56,910 --> 01:27:59,730
Well, not railing, but saying, you know, you're

2527
01:27:59,730 --> 01:27:59,950
nuts.

2528
01:27:59,950 --> 01:28:03,070
Well, he was railing on the Democrat representative.

2529
01:28:03,870 --> 01:28:06,150
He was railing less on the mayor, but

2530
01:28:06,150 --> 01:28:07,490
he was giving her grief, too.

2531
01:28:07,550 --> 01:28:09,870
He was giving everybody grief, and I have

2532
01:28:09,870 --> 01:28:14,030
to say the politico of them all, which

2533
01:28:14,030 --> 01:28:17,690
is Governor Newsom, avoided being there.

2534
01:28:18,310 --> 01:28:20,410
He met him at the tarmac and then

2535
01:28:20,410 --> 01:28:21,270
took off.

2536
01:28:21,390 --> 01:28:22,610
I have the tarmac clip.

2537
01:28:22,810 --> 01:28:24,870
A new effort is underway to recall Governor

2538
01:28:24,870 --> 01:28:25,590
Gavin Newsom.

2539
01:28:25,590 --> 01:28:26,230
I'm sorry.

2540
01:28:27,630 --> 01:28:29,510
That's the recall Governor Newsom.

2541
01:28:32,030 --> 01:28:34,050
Somewhere I had a meeting.

2542
01:28:34,250 --> 01:28:35,290
Anyway, yeah.

2543
01:28:36,470 --> 01:28:39,710
Here is the exchange with the Los Angeles

2544
01:28:39,710 --> 01:28:40,510
Mayor Bass.

2545
01:28:40,770 --> 01:28:43,150
You're going to move as fast as we

2546
01:28:43,150 --> 01:28:45,330
can, but we want you to be safe,

2547
01:28:45,610 --> 01:28:46,990
and we want you to be back in

2548
01:28:46,990 --> 01:28:48,390
your homes immediately.

2549
01:28:48,690 --> 01:28:50,490
But the people are willing to clean out

2550
01:28:50,490 --> 01:28:51,250
their own debris.

2551
01:28:51,450 --> 01:28:52,530
It doesn't cost a lot.

2552
01:28:52,530 --> 01:28:54,410
You should have them do it, because by

2553
01:28:54,410 --> 01:28:56,430
the time you hire contractors, it's going to

2554
01:28:56,430 --> 01:28:57,790
be two years.

2555
01:28:59,070 --> 01:29:02,710
The people are willing to get a dumpster

2556
01:29:02,710 --> 01:29:05,010
and do it themselves and clean it out.

2557
01:29:05,490 --> 01:29:06,670
There's not that much left.

2558
01:29:06,730 --> 01:29:07,790
It's all incinerated.

2559
01:29:09,270 --> 01:29:10,990
It's just going to take a long time.

2560
01:29:11,430 --> 01:29:12,950
You can do some of it, but a

2561
01:29:12,950 --> 01:29:14,250
lot of these people, I know that guy

2562
01:29:14,250 --> 01:29:15,310
right there that's talking.

2563
01:29:15,650 --> 01:29:16,750
I know my people.

2564
01:29:17,070 --> 01:29:19,370
You'll be on that thing tonight, throwing the

2565
01:29:19,370 --> 01:29:21,690
stuff away, and your site will look perfect

2566
01:29:21,690 --> 01:29:23,830
within 24 hours, and that's what he wants

2567
01:29:23,830 --> 01:29:24,050
to do.

2568
01:29:24,210 --> 01:29:25,950
He doesn't want to wait around for seven

2569
01:29:25,950 --> 01:29:28,810
months till the city hires some demolition contract

2570
01:29:28,810 --> 01:29:31,890
that's going to charge him $25,000 to

2571
01:29:31,890 --> 01:29:32,490
do his lot.

2572
01:29:34,010 --> 01:29:36,890
You have emergency powers just like I do,

2573
01:29:36,950 --> 01:29:41,670
and I'm going to exercise them also.

2574
01:29:41,730 --> 01:29:42,950
I did exercise them.

2575
01:29:42,950 --> 01:29:45,370
I mean, you have a very powerful emergency

2576
01:29:45,370 --> 01:29:48,690
power, and you can do everything within 24

2577
01:29:48,690 --> 01:29:49,150
hours.

2578
01:29:49,330 --> 01:29:51,710
Yes, and if individuals want to clear out

2579
01:29:51,710 --> 01:29:52,890
their property, they can.

2580
01:29:53,210 --> 01:29:55,350
We think within a week.

2581
01:29:55,790 --> 01:29:57,090
That's a long time, a week.

2582
01:29:57,190 --> 01:29:57,750
I'll be honest.

2583
01:29:57,870 --> 01:30:00,090
To me, everyone's standing in front of their

2584
01:30:00,090 --> 01:30:00,310
house.

2585
01:30:00,410 --> 01:30:01,330
They want to go to work, and they're

2586
01:30:01,330 --> 01:30:02,170
not allowed to do it.

2587
01:30:02,350 --> 01:30:04,090
A week is a long time.

2588
01:30:05,310 --> 01:30:06,070
They're safe.

2589
01:30:06,430 --> 01:30:08,550
They're not safe now.

2590
01:30:09,310 --> 01:30:10,650
They're going to be much safer.

2591
01:30:11,390 --> 01:30:13,730
A week is actually a long time, the

2592
01:30:13,730 --> 01:30:14,430
way I look at it.

2593
01:30:14,530 --> 01:30:18,230
I watched hundreds of people standing in front

2594
01:30:18,230 --> 01:30:19,990
of their lots, and they're not allowed to

2595
01:30:19,990 --> 01:30:20,570
go in.

2596
01:30:20,810 --> 01:30:21,670
It's all burned.

2597
01:30:22,250 --> 01:30:22,990
It's gone.

2598
01:30:23,130 --> 01:30:23,550
It's done.

2599
01:30:23,650 --> 01:30:24,730
Nothing's going to happen to it.

2600
01:30:24,730 --> 01:30:25,530
It's not going to burn anymore.

2601
01:30:25,630 --> 01:30:26,390
There's nothing to burn.

2602
01:30:26,490 --> 01:30:29,010
There's almost nothing to burn, and they want

2603
01:30:29,010 --> 01:30:29,390
to go in.

2604
01:30:29,510 --> 01:30:31,190
The people are all over the place.

2605
01:30:31,390 --> 01:30:33,330
They're standing, and I say, Warren, you're going

2606
01:30:33,330 --> 01:30:33,570
in.

2607
01:30:33,670 --> 01:30:35,590
We're trying to get a permit, and the

2608
01:30:35,590 --> 01:30:36,590
permit's going to take them.

2609
01:30:37,190 --> 01:30:38,530
Everybody said 18 months.

2610
01:30:38,610 --> 01:30:39,550
You said 18 months.

2611
01:30:40,190 --> 01:30:41,470
You said 18 months.

2612
01:30:41,750 --> 01:30:43,770
She didn't have a comeback for that because

2613
01:30:43,770 --> 01:30:46,490
she probably did say 18 months, but then...

2614
01:30:46,490 --> 01:30:47,590
Yeah, 18 months.

2615
01:30:47,730 --> 01:30:48,730
That's ridiculous.

2616
01:30:49,270 --> 01:30:50,910
No, he goes all over this, and she

2617
01:30:50,910 --> 01:30:54,550
kept going on about, well, there's hazardous waste.

2618
01:30:54,790 --> 01:30:56,570
She also had some comment about that.

2619
01:30:56,790 --> 01:30:57,710
It's like, what hazard?

2620
01:30:58,350 --> 01:30:59,130
Everything's gone.

2621
01:31:00,590 --> 01:31:04,190
She is terrible, and the whole operation down

2622
01:31:04,190 --> 01:31:05,590
there is just completely out of control.

2623
01:31:05,690 --> 01:31:06,550
She's useless.

2624
01:31:06,790 --> 01:31:09,290
She's like a classic bureaucrat, yacking away.

2625
01:31:09,470 --> 01:31:12,830
And then some county guy pipes in, and

2626
01:31:12,830 --> 01:31:14,930
this is where President Trump just brought the

2627
01:31:14,930 --> 01:31:17,370
humor back with sincerity.

2628
01:31:17,710 --> 01:31:20,790
Mr. President, we're going to be together next

2629
01:31:20,790 --> 01:31:23,550
week, and during the interim, many of us

2630
01:31:23,550 --> 01:31:26,410
are involved in, and Tom McClintock, who you

2631
01:31:26,410 --> 01:31:28,150
know, has been an expert on this for

2632
01:31:28,150 --> 01:31:28,550
years.

2633
01:31:28,930 --> 01:31:31,930
We are going to be putting conditions on

2634
01:31:31,930 --> 01:31:33,650
the money that do two things.

2635
01:31:34,230 --> 01:31:37,270
Require that it be done timely and affordable,

2636
01:31:37,810 --> 01:31:41,090
and then secondly, that we protect those who

2637
01:31:41,090 --> 01:31:42,370
will come afterwards.

2638
01:31:42,610 --> 01:31:44,910
As we speak, there are 6,000 acres

2639
01:31:44,910 --> 01:31:47,290
burning in my district on the Mexican border.

2640
01:31:47,690 --> 01:31:51,910
There will be more fires until we include,

2641
01:31:51,990 --> 01:31:55,470
in any disaster relief, items which will prevent

2642
01:31:55,470 --> 01:31:57,470
it, or at least mitigate it from happening

2643
01:31:57,470 --> 01:31:57,910
again.

2644
01:31:58,170 --> 01:32:00,910
So you're going to see us proposing both

2645
01:32:00,910 --> 01:32:01,470
of those.

2646
01:32:01,590 --> 01:32:03,490
Like water.

2647
01:32:04,570 --> 01:32:06,070
We're going to do that for them.

2648
01:32:06,070 --> 01:32:07,590
You know, the party of common sense.

2649
01:32:07,750 --> 01:32:09,710
Brad, we're the party of common sense.

2650
01:32:09,810 --> 01:32:11,350
You're not, in all fairness.

2651
01:32:12,010 --> 01:32:13,770
We like water to put out fires.

2652
01:32:13,890 --> 01:32:15,030
It's really quite efficient.

2653
01:32:17,750 --> 01:32:18,270
Water.

2654
01:32:18,750 --> 01:32:20,450
Just make sure you have water.

2655
01:32:22,990 --> 01:32:23,870
That's great.

2656
01:32:24,410 --> 01:32:26,370
It's funny.

2657
01:32:27,630 --> 01:32:30,610
I mean, humor in dire circumstances, of course,

2658
01:32:30,670 --> 01:32:32,670
because it's a total disaster.

2659
01:32:33,730 --> 01:32:34,950
Where are all these people?

2660
01:32:34,950 --> 01:32:35,990
Where are they right now?

2661
01:32:36,050 --> 01:32:37,530
They can't all be in hotels.

2662
01:32:38,690 --> 01:32:40,530
I mean, they're staying with family?

2663
01:32:41,050 --> 01:32:42,250
Probably with friends, mostly.

2664
01:32:42,430 --> 01:32:43,690
That's horrible, man.

2665
01:32:44,690 --> 01:32:45,870
But you know what?

2666
01:32:45,930 --> 01:32:49,150
If anything ever happens in Northern California, like

2667
01:32:49,150 --> 01:32:50,570
an earthquake or something, you can stay in

2668
01:32:50,570 --> 01:32:51,510
our spare room.

2669
01:32:52,590 --> 01:32:52,830
Yeah.

2670
01:32:53,750 --> 01:32:55,210
We can do the show together.

2671
01:32:55,690 --> 01:32:57,810
We can do briskets together.

2672
01:32:58,670 --> 01:32:59,530
Yeah, there you go.

2673
01:32:59,650 --> 01:33:02,290
I did my first brisket the other day.

2674
01:33:02,290 --> 01:33:03,530
Oh, really?

2675
01:33:03,910 --> 01:33:04,150
Yep.

2676
01:33:06,670 --> 01:33:08,110
Describe to me what you did.

2677
01:33:08,270 --> 01:33:10,190
Okay, so we had the brisket.

2678
01:33:10,450 --> 01:33:11,090
10 pounds.

2679
01:33:13,130 --> 01:33:16,050
Tina did the rub, which was a mustard

2680
01:33:16,050 --> 01:33:17,470
-based rub, salt and pepper.

2681
01:33:17,550 --> 01:33:19,010
She'd be the one doing the rub.

2682
01:33:19,190 --> 01:33:20,930
She rubs the best.

2683
01:33:21,550 --> 01:33:23,090
Okay, easy.

2684
01:33:24,350 --> 01:33:27,610
$2.25. Three hours.

2685
01:33:28,310 --> 01:33:28,750
In what?

2686
01:33:28,750 --> 01:33:30,130
Pit boss.

2687
01:33:31,670 --> 01:33:34,670
Internal temperature up to 160.

2688
01:33:35,290 --> 01:33:37,550
Then wrapped it in butcher paper.

2689
01:33:38,070 --> 01:33:40,430
How many hours did you do the $2

2690
01:33:40,430 --> 01:33:40,770
.25?

2691
01:33:41,090 --> 01:33:41,750
Three hours.

2692
01:33:42,410 --> 01:33:45,010
Three hours until internal temp was 160.

2693
01:33:45,590 --> 01:33:48,030
Wrapped it in butcher paper right there on

2694
01:33:48,030 --> 01:33:48,310
the grill.

2695
01:33:48,750 --> 01:33:50,070
Yeah, that's what everyone talks about.

2696
01:33:50,830 --> 01:33:52,890
Internal temperature up to 190.

2697
01:33:53,090 --> 01:33:55,930
Then take it out in the butcher paper,

2698
01:33:56,330 --> 01:33:58,790
wrap it in a towel, put it inside

2699
01:33:58,790 --> 01:34:00,730
a cooler, but not a cool cooler, but

2700
01:34:00,730 --> 01:34:03,130
like a Yeti bag cooler so it maintains

2701
01:34:03,130 --> 01:34:04,910
the heat for two hours.

2702
01:34:05,010 --> 01:34:06,070
Actually, two and a half hours.

2703
01:34:06,590 --> 01:34:08,810
It was dynamite.

2704
01:34:10,530 --> 01:34:11,010
Perfect.

2705
01:34:11,990 --> 01:34:14,110
Actually, 192 was the temperature I took it

2706
01:34:14,110 --> 01:34:14,330
to.

2707
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:17,680
That sounds right.

2708
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:20,540
It was the first time ever that we've

2709
01:34:20,540 --> 01:34:21,640
ever done a brisket.

2710
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:24,240
10 pounds, you know what we pay for

2711
01:34:24,240 --> 01:34:25,600
that out here in cow country?

2712
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:26,560
Not at the restaurant.

2713
01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:27,860
In cow country?

2714
01:34:28,540 --> 01:34:29,060
$13.

2715
01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:31,940
That's good.

2716
01:34:32,420 --> 01:34:33,820
$13 for 10 pounds?

2717
01:34:34,860 --> 01:34:36,280
$1.30 a pound.

2718
01:34:37,100 --> 01:34:37,440
No, no.

2719
01:34:37,580 --> 01:34:40,300
It was 10 pounds, 13 bucks.

2720
01:34:43,150 --> 01:34:44,830
10 pounds, 13 bucks.

2721
01:34:45,550 --> 01:34:47,190
That's $1.30 a pound.

2722
01:34:47,330 --> 01:34:48,530
Oh, I thought you said 30 bucks.

2723
01:34:48,690 --> 01:34:49,210
I misunderstood.

2724
01:34:49,470 --> 01:34:50,470
Yeah, $1.30 a pound.

2725
01:34:50,590 --> 01:34:50,950
Exactly.

2726
01:34:51,410 --> 01:34:52,330
That's a good price.

2727
01:34:53,670 --> 01:34:55,850
In the restaurants here, you can't even go

2728
01:34:55,850 --> 01:34:56,510
to the restaurants.

2729
01:34:56,510 --> 01:34:57,490
No one can afford them.

2730
01:34:58,910 --> 01:35:00,290
Yeah, I find that peculiar.

2731
01:35:00,550 --> 01:35:01,530
Especially beef.

2732
01:35:01,690 --> 01:35:02,930
Now that you bring it up, now that

2733
01:35:02,930 --> 01:35:04,690
you tell me that you can get brisket

2734
01:35:04,690 --> 01:35:06,850
meat for $1.30 a pound and the

2735
01:35:06,850 --> 01:35:10,790
restaurant would charge you $40 for three slices.

2736
01:35:11,030 --> 01:35:12,510
A couple slices and some gravy.

2737
01:35:15,230 --> 01:35:16,610
What's wrong with those restaurants?

2738
01:35:16,730 --> 01:35:17,390
I don't get it.

2739
01:35:17,490 --> 01:35:20,750
You order online and the guy brings it

2740
01:35:20,750 --> 01:35:23,230
the same day to your door.

2741
01:35:23,230 --> 01:35:25,530
Hey, Mrs. Curry, how you doing?

2742
01:35:25,610 --> 01:35:26,050
Here we go.

2743
01:35:26,590 --> 01:35:28,030
Here's your beef.

2744
01:35:29,050 --> 01:35:29,590
He's right down the road.

2745
01:35:29,590 --> 01:35:30,510
Yeah, that's a good thing.

2746
01:35:31,010 --> 01:35:33,090
That's probably why the restaurants are so expensive.

2747
01:35:34,290 --> 01:35:34,970
What do you mean?

2748
01:35:35,050 --> 01:35:35,290
Why?

2749
01:35:35,750 --> 01:35:37,470
Nobody in their right mind would go to

2750
01:35:37,470 --> 01:35:37,670
one.

2751
01:35:38,370 --> 01:35:40,610
Gotta make up for it in higher prices.

2752
01:35:40,770 --> 01:35:42,610
Do you know how many people visited Fredericksburg

2753
01:35:42,610 --> 01:35:43,210
last year?

2754
01:35:43,650 --> 01:35:44,250
A million.

2755
01:35:44,490 --> 01:35:45,910
Two million people.

2756
01:35:46,570 --> 01:35:47,050
Why?

2757
01:35:48,990 --> 01:35:51,910
For our cute German bakery, of course.

2758
01:35:53,230 --> 01:35:55,010
And for our beautiful little Main Street.

2759
01:35:55,290 --> 01:35:57,930
And our 150 wineries where everyone can get

2760
01:35:57,930 --> 01:35:58,370
hammered.

2761
01:35:58,470 --> 01:36:01,550
And our open container on the street.

2762
01:36:02,030 --> 01:36:02,890
Oh yeah, that's right.

2763
01:36:02,930 --> 01:36:04,550
You can drive around drinking a beer.

2764
01:36:05,310 --> 01:36:07,110
And smoking a joint at the same time.

2765
01:36:07,110 --> 01:36:08,830
People don't realize that in Texas you can

2766
01:36:08,830 --> 01:36:10,090
drive around drinking a beer.

2767
01:36:10,210 --> 01:36:11,150
No, that's not true.

2768
01:36:11,810 --> 01:36:13,470
No, it's not true.

2769
01:36:14,190 --> 01:36:16,890
But in Fredericksburg you can walk around with

2770
01:36:16,890 --> 01:36:18,470
an open container drinking.

2771
01:36:19,010 --> 01:36:21,190
Which is one of, I think, only three

2772
01:36:21,190 --> 01:36:22,150
cities in the country.

2773
01:36:22,510 --> 01:36:23,670
Maybe six.

2774
01:36:23,870 --> 01:36:25,030
We're very special that way.

2775
01:36:27,390 --> 01:36:30,770
Final clip for me for the time being.

2776
01:36:31,710 --> 01:36:32,730
On the media.

2777
01:36:33,510 --> 01:36:35,970
Which, by the way, we say four more

2778
01:36:35,970 --> 01:36:36,190
years.

2779
01:36:36,350 --> 01:36:37,450
I don't know if we're going to make

2780
01:36:37,450 --> 01:36:38,150
four more years.

2781
01:36:38,810 --> 01:36:42,210
I mean, CNN and MSNBC are going to

2782
01:36:42,210 --> 01:36:43,450
have nobody left.

2783
01:36:44,190 --> 01:36:45,570
They're firing everybody.

2784
01:36:46,790 --> 01:36:48,450
I don't know, what are they going to

2785
01:36:48,450 --> 01:36:48,750
do?

2786
01:36:49,410 --> 01:36:51,350
They're just going to put podcasters on?

2787
01:36:51,350 --> 01:36:53,310
They should always have PBS and NPR.

2788
01:36:53,830 --> 01:36:56,430
But NPR is also struggling.

2789
01:36:57,410 --> 01:36:59,010
The model is broken.

2790
01:36:59,910 --> 01:37:03,890
Everybody wants, like, who wants to watch Margaret

2791
01:37:03,890 --> 01:37:07,010
Brennan with J.D. Vance with little soundbites

2792
01:37:07,010 --> 01:37:09,990
and shortened edited interviews when you can watch

2793
01:37:09,990 --> 01:37:11,730
him on Rogan for three hours and get

2794
01:37:11,730 --> 01:37:13,290
an actual opinion about somebody?

2795
01:37:14,350 --> 01:37:18,670
The whole distribution idea of linear television is

2796
01:37:18,670 --> 01:37:19,050
broken.

2797
01:37:19,410 --> 01:37:21,130
And Fox will run into the same problem.

2798
01:37:21,230 --> 01:37:23,290
Everyone's rah-rah right now, but it'll run

2799
01:37:23,290 --> 01:37:24,110
into the same problem.

2800
01:37:25,150 --> 01:37:25,890
They can't do it.

2801
01:37:26,150 --> 01:37:27,390
It's not going to function.

2802
01:37:27,610 --> 01:37:29,130
So what are we going to be doing?

2803
01:37:29,270 --> 01:37:31,410
Just critiquing podcasts at the end of the

2804
01:37:31,410 --> 01:37:31,630
road?

2805
01:37:32,230 --> 01:37:34,210
Well, we have some clips from podcasts that

2806
01:37:34,210 --> 01:37:35,030
are quite entertaining.

2807
01:37:35,190 --> 01:37:37,150
Yeah, I know, but there'll be nothing left

2808
01:37:37,150 --> 01:37:38,230
to complain about.

2809
01:37:38,310 --> 01:37:39,290
It's just going to be a free-for

2810
01:37:39,290 --> 01:37:39,470
-all.

2811
01:37:42,250 --> 01:37:43,870
Nothing to complain about.

2812
01:37:43,870 --> 01:37:45,450
That'll be the day, by the way.

2813
01:37:45,590 --> 01:37:46,690
That will be the day.

2814
01:37:47,190 --> 01:37:48,950
There'll be nothing to complain about.

2815
01:37:49,470 --> 01:37:52,250
So on the media, there's still a fun

2816
01:37:52,250 --> 01:37:56,590
NBX show, formerly known as NPR, where they

2817
01:37:58,890 --> 01:38:01,570
supposedly give us the insights as to what

2818
01:38:01,570 --> 01:38:03,970
the media is doing, and they're focusing very

2819
01:38:03,970 --> 01:38:07,150
heavily on what to do about Trump and

2820
01:38:07,150 --> 01:38:07,850
his supporters.

2821
01:38:08,090 --> 01:38:08,770
They're not voters.

2822
01:38:08,910 --> 01:38:11,010
There's never going to be voters for Trump.

2823
01:38:11,010 --> 01:38:12,630
There's still always going to be supporters.

2824
01:38:13,590 --> 01:38:15,090
And loyalists.

2825
01:38:15,270 --> 01:38:16,710
That's the people that work with him.

2826
01:38:16,770 --> 01:38:17,430
They're loyalists.

2827
01:38:18,070 --> 01:38:19,890
And the attack vector is clear.

2828
01:38:20,610 --> 01:38:23,390
This is on the media this week, top

2829
01:38:23,390 --> 01:38:26,250
of the show, right away, a minute and

2830
01:38:26,250 --> 01:38:27,050
a half of this.

2831
01:38:27,790 --> 01:38:29,570
We will not forget our country.

2832
01:38:30,130 --> 01:38:32,090
We will not forget our Constitution.

2833
01:38:32,970 --> 01:38:36,570
And we will not forget our God.

2834
01:38:37,110 --> 01:38:40,390
Donald Trump's second White House boasts more confidence

2835
01:38:40,390 --> 01:38:42,350
and resolve than his first.

2836
01:38:42,830 --> 01:38:43,410
Results?

2837
01:38:43,950 --> 01:38:44,350
Unknown.

2838
01:38:44,770 --> 01:38:46,930
From WNYC in New York, this is On

2839
01:38:46,930 --> 01:38:47,270
the Media.

2840
01:38:47,590 --> 01:38:48,590
I'm Brooke Gladstone.

2841
01:38:48,830 --> 01:38:50,770
Just a few months ago, in a beautiful

2842
01:38:50,770 --> 01:38:54,290
Pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my

2843
01:38:54,290 --> 01:38:54,710
ear.

2844
01:38:55,070 --> 01:38:56,890
But I felt then, and believe even more

2845
01:38:56,890 --> 01:39:00,170
so now, that my life was saved for

2846
01:39:00,170 --> 01:39:00,690
a reason.

2847
01:39:01,430 --> 01:39:04,650
I was saved by God to make America

2848
01:39:04,650 --> 01:39:05,690
great again.

2849
01:39:05,850 --> 01:39:08,690
And so saith the clergy at his inauguration.

2850
01:39:09,270 --> 01:39:09,930
Fair enough.

2851
01:39:10,150 --> 01:39:12,150
That's the view through the prism of Trump

2852
01:39:12,150 --> 01:39:13,010
and his supporters.

2853
01:39:13,770 --> 01:39:14,630
That was Monday.

2854
01:39:15,410 --> 01:39:17,910
Now, unlike the Capitol riot, which everyone could

2855
01:39:17,910 --> 01:39:21,050
see in real life, God's reality has long

2856
01:39:21,050 --> 01:39:21,810
been debated.

2857
01:39:22,090 --> 01:39:25,510
As they say, faith is antithetical to proof,

2858
01:39:25,650 --> 01:39:26,450
and vice versa.

2859
01:39:27,030 --> 01:39:29,190
And the nature of God is viewed variously

2860
01:39:29,190 --> 01:39:29,710
as well.

2861
01:39:30,270 --> 01:39:33,290
There's a long tradition among some evangelicals dating

2862
01:39:33,290 --> 01:39:35,810
back at least a hundred years, of seeing

2863
01:39:35,810 --> 01:39:38,370
Jesus as a warrior, and the faithful as

2864
01:39:38,370 --> 01:39:41,330
his troops, fighting to impose their way of

2865
01:39:41,330 --> 01:39:42,590
life on America.

2866
01:39:43,250 --> 01:39:46,090
Fighting to impose our way of life on

2867
01:39:46,090 --> 01:39:46,590
America!

2868
01:39:46,770 --> 01:39:47,390
Go, Jesus!

2869
01:39:47,650 --> 01:39:50,190
They see the Jesus of the Gospels, helping

2870
01:39:50,190 --> 01:39:53,250
the poor, turning the other cheek, as effeminate.

2871
01:39:53,730 --> 01:39:56,470
As for those who follow the prosperity...

2872
01:39:56,470 --> 01:39:56,990
Effeminate!

2873
01:39:57,210 --> 01:39:58,030
That's pussies!

2874
01:39:58,710 --> 01:40:00,570
Jesus turning the other cheek is gay!

2875
01:40:01,090 --> 01:40:03,730
They see the Jesus of the Gospels, helping

2876
01:40:03,730 --> 01:40:04,970
the poor, turning the other cheek.

2877
01:40:04,990 --> 01:40:05,990
Wait, who's this?

2878
01:40:06,110 --> 01:40:07,170
This is Brooke Gladstone!

2879
01:40:07,270 --> 01:40:09,010
No, no, no, who is this that thinks

2880
01:40:09,010 --> 01:40:09,430
that?

2881
01:40:09,790 --> 01:40:10,610
Brooke Gladstone!

2882
01:40:10,770 --> 01:40:11,510
And no one else.

2883
01:40:11,810 --> 01:40:13,250
This is what I'm saying.

2884
01:40:13,310 --> 01:40:14,530
This is their attack vector.

2885
01:40:14,650 --> 01:40:16,250
It's so weak, but it's almost done.

2886
01:40:16,530 --> 01:40:18,930
They see the Jesus of the Gospels, helping

2887
01:40:18,930 --> 01:40:21,990
the poor, turning the other cheek, as effeminate.

2888
01:40:22,690 --> 01:40:25,610
As for those who follow the prosperity gospel,

2889
01:40:25,750 --> 01:40:27,370
favored by the president, which...

2890
01:40:27,370 --> 01:40:29,510
I've got to ask Pastor Jimmy, what is

2891
01:40:29,510 --> 01:40:30,710
prosperity gospel?

2892
01:40:30,850 --> 01:40:31,570
Do you know what that is?

2893
01:40:32,050 --> 01:40:32,550
Yeah, I do.

2894
01:40:32,730 --> 01:40:33,190
What is it?

2895
01:40:34,290 --> 01:40:35,890
Well, there's a bunch of these guys.

2896
01:40:36,010 --> 01:40:40,130
I think Mike Murdoch's one of them, who's

2897
01:40:40,130 --> 01:40:41,010
just a wreck now.

2898
01:40:41,050 --> 01:40:42,410
It's really a shame, because he did some

2899
01:40:42,410 --> 01:40:43,950
really good material.

2900
01:40:45,350 --> 01:40:48,470
That's the gospel that...

2901
01:40:48,470 --> 01:40:50,250
Gospel, if you want to call it that.

2902
01:40:50,490 --> 01:40:53,050
It's a way of...

2903
01:40:53,050 --> 01:40:55,190
There's one black preacher that really made the

2904
01:40:55,190 --> 01:40:55,930
most out of it.

2905
01:40:55,970 --> 01:40:58,510
He used to wear a sport coat made

2906
01:40:58,510 --> 01:40:59,430
out of dollar bills.

2907
01:40:59,750 --> 01:41:00,630
Well, he's on my TikTok.

2908
01:41:00,870 --> 01:41:01,470
That's for sure.

2909
01:41:01,670 --> 01:41:02,430
I don't know who it is.

2910
01:41:02,770 --> 01:41:04,050
Yeah, well, you'll be seeing him.

2911
01:41:04,790 --> 01:41:08,510
It's the idea that the more virtuous you

2912
01:41:08,510 --> 01:41:09,690
are, the richer you'll get.

2913
01:41:09,790 --> 01:41:11,230
It's all about making a lot of money,

2914
01:41:11,550 --> 01:41:13,350
and that's God's reward.

2915
01:41:14,090 --> 01:41:15,930
Ah, yes, you're right.

2916
01:41:16,150 --> 01:41:16,450
You're right.

2917
01:41:17,010 --> 01:41:19,010
Because you make all this money, by the

2918
01:41:19,010 --> 01:41:20,970
way, you should give us 4% as

2919
01:41:20,970 --> 01:41:21,510
a tithe.

2920
01:41:21,870 --> 01:41:22,050
Four?

2921
01:41:23,890 --> 01:41:25,250
What happened to 10?

2922
01:41:25,250 --> 01:41:26,130
Yeah, 4%.

2923
01:41:26,850 --> 01:41:29,890
You're right, but actually, these guys do push

2924
01:41:29,890 --> 01:41:30,290
for 10.

2925
01:41:30,710 --> 01:41:32,770
So you give us 10, and then, because

2926
01:41:32,770 --> 01:41:34,550
you're already rich, you're going to get 10

2927
01:41:34,550 --> 01:41:35,210
-fold back.

2928
01:41:35,350 --> 01:41:35,590
Amen.

2929
01:41:35,710 --> 01:41:38,310
So the 10 plus 10-fold back, plus

2930
01:41:38,310 --> 01:41:40,270
the money you're making because you're doing God's

2931
01:41:40,270 --> 01:41:41,290
work, all of it.

2932
01:41:41,370 --> 01:41:42,250
All of it!

2933
01:41:42,530 --> 01:41:46,150
So that's the game you're playing.

2934
01:41:46,290 --> 01:41:47,890
It's really quite entertaining.

2935
01:41:48,050 --> 01:41:49,550
It sounds like a Ponzi scheme.

2936
01:41:49,810 --> 01:41:53,690
As for those who follow the prosperity gospel

2937
01:41:53,690 --> 01:41:56,130
favored by the president, which holds that God

2938
01:41:56,130 --> 01:41:59,150
rewards the worthy with wealth in this life...

2939
01:41:59,150 --> 01:42:00,050
By the way, stop.

2940
01:42:01,410 --> 01:42:05,610
Trump has never, that I can recall, and

2941
01:42:05,610 --> 01:42:08,570
we've been following him very closely, promoted the

2942
01:42:08,570 --> 01:42:10,410
prosperity gospel.

2943
01:42:11,050 --> 01:42:11,350
Ever.

2944
01:42:13,250 --> 01:42:16,090
Find one clip where he says anything about

2945
01:42:16,090 --> 01:42:16,250
it.

2946
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,830
No, but I believe that he adheres to

2947
01:42:20,830 --> 01:42:20,970
it.

2948
01:42:20,970 --> 01:42:22,910
His dad taught him a long time ago,

2949
01:42:23,230 --> 01:42:25,190
you give money away, it comes back to

2950
01:42:25,190 --> 01:42:27,070
you, because he gives a lot of money.

2951
01:42:27,170 --> 01:42:29,490
And not the phony baloney stuff they always

2952
01:42:29,490 --> 01:42:30,690
moan about.

2953
01:42:30,770 --> 01:42:34,690
Oh, his fake non-profit...

2954
01:42:34,690 --> 01:42:35,890
No, he does give a lot of money

2955
01:42:35,890 --> 01:42:36,230
away.

2956
01:42:36,350 --> 01:42:38,410
To lots of people for all kinds of

2957
01:42:38,410 --> 01:42:38,650
things.

2958
01:42:39,350 --> 01:42:42,390
But the prosperity gospel is within the church

2959
01:42:42,390 --> 01:42:42,930
itself.

2960
01:42:43,070 --> 01:42:44,970
It's not giving money away to other people.

2961
01:42:45,170 --> 01:42:45,590
Here we go.

2962
01:42:45,970 --> 01:42:48,790
As for those who follow the prosperity gospel

2963
01:42:48,790 --> 01:42:51,230
favored by the President, which holds that God

2964
01:42:51,230 --> 01:42:53,990
rewards the worthy with wealth in this life,

2965
01:42:54,510 --> 01:42:56,990
they would dismiss the claim that Jesus ever

2966
01:42:56,990 --> 01:42:59,470
said, it is easier for a camel to

2967
01:42:59,470 --> 01:43:01,170
go through the eye of a needle than

2968
01:43:01,170 --> 01:43:03,010
for a rich man to enter into the

2969
01:43:03,010 --> 01:43:03,830
kingdom of heaven.

2970
01:43:04,090 --> 01:43:07,590
In today's parlance, they'd probably call the gospel

2971
01:43:07,590 --> 01:43:09,590
of Matthew fake news.

2972
01:43:09,750 --> 01:43:10,510
Fake news!

2973
01:43:11,550 --> 01:43:13,030
No, they wouldn't.

2974
01:43:14,070 --> 01:43:16,130
Matthew is fake news, man.

2975
01:43:16,130 --> 01:43:17,490
Fake news!

2976
01:43:19,690 --> 01:43:22,410
That's their pathetic attack vector.

2977
01:43:23,510 --> 01:43:24,450
I think you might be right.

2978
01:43:25,970 --> 01:43:28,150
The left likes to use...

2979
01:43:28,150 --> 01:43:30,610
The left, generally speaking, is atheists.

2980
01:43:30,970 --> 01:43:34,010
And they like to use religion as an

2981
01:43:34,010 --> 01:43:37,790
attack vector even though it's a shotgun approach,

2982
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:40,370
and they don't understand enough about anything to

2983
01:43:40,370 --> 01:43:41,590
do it well.

2984
01:43:42,770 --> 01:43:44,770
Because the only way it really works is

2985
01:43:44,770 --> 01:43:46,290
religion against religion.

2986
01:43:46,510 --> 01:43:47,410
It doesn't work.

2987
01:43:47,930 --> 01:43:49,130
Atheists against religion.

2988
01:43:49,330 --> 01:43:50,950
It just doesn't fly.

2989
01:43:51,190 --> 01:43:54,830
It's really amazing, though, how she rolled.

2990
01:43:54,910 --> 01:43:55,990
And that was the top of the show.

2991
01:43:56,070 --> 01:43:56,610
I'm like, really?

2992
01:43:57,770 --> 01:43:59,090
That's where you're going with this?

2993
01:43:59,130 --> 01:43:59,750
Good luck.

2994
01:44:01,250 --> 01:44:03,610
I have one clip before we take a

2995
01:44:03,610 --> 01:44:03,890
break.

2996
01:44:04,250 --> 01:44:06,790
It's kind of interesting, because it's not being

2997
01:44:06,790 --> 01:44:07,790
reported on at all.

2998
01:44:08,890 --> 01:44:11,190
And I guess they're talking about this sort

2999
01:44:11,190 --> 01:44:15,430
of, you know, this anti-populist mentality, which

3000
01:44:15,430 --> 01:44:17,150
is what you just played.

3001
01:44:18,410 --> 01:44:21,170
It's about the AFD protests going on in

3002
01:44:21,170 --> 01:44:21,510
Germany.

3003
01:44:21,790 --> 01:44:22,350
Oh, yes.

3004
01:44:22,590 --> 01:44:23,590
Yes, yes, yes.

3005
01:44:24,170 --> 01:44:26,610
And this is from Al Jazeera, so you

3006
01:44:26,610 --> 01:44:29,210
know it's going to be against the AFD.

3007
01:44:29,570 --> 01:44:31,530
Protests have been held in cities across Germany

3008
01:44:31,530 --> 01:44:33,090
against the rise of the far right.

3009
01:44:33,230 --> 01:44:35,810
The demonstrations come ahead of federal elections next

3010
01:44:35,810 --> 01:44:36,150
month.

3011
01:44:36,650 --> 01:44:38,290
These were the scenes at the Brandenburg Gate

3012
01:44:38,290 --> 01:44:38,870
in Berlin.

3013
01:44:39,390 --> 01:44:41,150
A similar protest was held in Cologne.

3014
01:44:41,770 --> 01:44:43,990
The rallies come as far-right politician Alice

3015
01:44:43,990 --> 01:44:46,630
Weigel launched her campaign to become chancellor.

3016
01:44:47,330 --> 01:44:49,810
Yes, I have a clip as well about

3017
01:44:49,810 --> 01:44:50,550
the AFD.

3018
01:44:50,950 --> 01:44:53,210
Well, tens of thousands of Germans rallied Saturday

3019
01:44:53,210 --> 01:44:55,550
against the far right ahead of next month's

3020
01:44:55,550 --> 01:44:56,670
federal elections.

3021
01:44:57,170 --> 01:44:59,650
U.S. tech billionaire Elon Musk once again

3022
01:44:59,650 --> 01:45:02,250
endorsed the AFD party, telling its supporters via

3023
01:45:02,250 --> 01:45:04,610
video link that their party was the best

3024
01:45:04,610 --> 01:45:06,890
hope for the future of Germany and Europe.

3025
01:45:07,650 --> 01:45:10,510
AFD is polling at around 20 percent ahead

3026
01:45:10,510 --> 01:45:13,750
of the February 23rd elections, a record for

3027
01:45:13,750 --> 01:45:15,730
the far right party in post-war Germany.

3028
01:45:15,930 --> 01:45:18,010
We have to wake up again in these

3029
01:45:18,010 --> 01:45:20,770
times because unfortunately it's going in the wrong

3030
01:45:20,770 --> 01:45:21,770
direction, I think.

3031
01:45:22,070 --> 01:45:23,790
And yes, we simply want to send a

3032
01:45:23,790 --> 01:45:24,150
message.

3033
01:45:24,610 --> 01:45:27,510
Democracy is simply a good thing and we

3034
01:45:27,510 --> 01:45:29,810
simply have to stand together and above all

3035
01:45:29,810 --> 01:45:32,690
simply show that what the AFD is doing

3036
01:45:32,690 --> 01:45:34,410
is not conforming.

3037
01:45:34,630 --> 01:45:35,830
It's not reasonable.

3038
01:45:36,870 --> 01:45:38,950
Elon was out there, big head on the

3039
01:45:38,950 --> 01:45:43,290
big screen saying, you know, if Germany goes

3040
01:45:43,290 --> 01:45:45,050
down then that's all of Europe.

3041
01:45:45,230 --> 01:45:47,250
It's going to end, which I think he's

3042
01:45:47,250 --> 01:45:48,270
kind of right.

3043
01:45:48,890 --> 01:45:49,590
I think so too.

3044
01:45:49,670 --> 01:45:50,310
He's far right.

3045
01:45:50,470 --> 01:45:51,390
He's kind of far right.

3046
01:45:51,490 --> 01:45:52,190
He's far right.

3047
01:45:52,290 --> 01:45:53,090
He's very far right.

3048
01:45:53,390 --> 01:45:54,390
Hey, with that I want to thank you

3049
01:45:54,390 --> 01:45:54,970
for your courage.

3050
01:45:55,090 --> 01:45:56,110
In the morning to you the man who

3051
01:45:56,110 --> 01:45:58,510
put the sea in the exploding seaguars.

3052
01:45:58,730 --> 01:46:00,050
Say hello to my friend on the other

3053
01:46:00,050 --> 01:46:02,390
end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.

3054
01:46:02,630 --> 01:46:02,950
DeMora!

3055
01:46:06,750 --> 01:46:08,310
In the morning to you Mr. John C.

3056
01:46:08,410 --> 01:46:08,510
DeMora.

3057
01:46:17,130 --> 01:46:18,250
All right.

3058
01:46:18,570 --> 01:46:20,430
Well, once again, record numbers.

3059
01:46:22,590 --> 01:46:23,710
2,471.

3060
01:46:25,110 --> 01:46:26,510
That's not a record for Sunday.

3061
01:46:26,750 --> 01:46:28,790
Yeah, but it's above the average.

3062
01:46:29,630 --> 01:46:31,290
The average is 2,400.

3063
01:46:32,830 --> 01:46:33,130
Yeah.

3064
01:46:33,330 --> 01:46:34,670
So it's record.

3065
01:46:36,370 --> 01:46:38,230
You know what the high mark was?

3066
01:46:38,430 --> 01:46:39,330
4,000 I think?

3067
01:46:39,430 --> 01:46:39,890
3,000?

3068
01:46:39,930 --> 01:46:40,490
4,000?

3069
01:46:40,670 --> 01:46:40,770
Yeah.

3070
01:46:40,910 --> 01:46:41,350
When was that?

3071
01:46:41,830 --> 01:46:42,550
It was after what?

3072
01:46:43,730 --> 01:46:46,330
It was after COVID, so it wasn't during

3073
01:46:46,330 --> 01:46:46,610
COVID.

3074
01:46:46,690 --> 01:46:48,210
I can't remember what triggered it.

3075
01:46:48,970 --> 01:46:49,150
Yeah.

3076
01:46:50,390 --> 01:46:51,270
Which is right then and there.

3077
01:46:51,450 --> 01:46:53,650
I should have noted what was the reason

3078
01:46:53,650 --> 01:46:54,050
it happened.

3079
01:46:54,050 --> 01:46:55,130
Maybe we do that again.

3080
01:46:55,230 --> 01:46:56,850
Whatever we did then, make that happen.

3081
01:46:57,250 --> 01:46:58,310
Make that happen again.

3082
01:46:59,710 --> 01:47:01,750
These trolls are all...

3083
01:47:02,150 --> 01:47:04,730
It was even before Trump was shot in

3084
01:47:04,730 --> 01:47:04,990
the ear.

3085
01:47:05,070 --> 01:47:06,030
No, I don't think so.

3086
01:47:06,150 --> 01:47:07,590
These trolls are all in the troll room.

3087
01:47:07,810 --> 01:47:12,770
Trollroom.io and they're listening in live and

3088
01:47:12,770 --> 01:47:14,730
they're trolling along as usual.

3089
01:47:16,750 --> 01:47:17,390
It's Sunday.

3090
01:47:17,550 --> 01:47:17,930
What do you mean?

3091
01:47:17,990 --> 01:47:18,670
I know what day it is.

3092
01:47:18,790 --> 01:47:19,090
It's Sunday.

3093
01:47:19,230 --> 01:47:20,330
People think I don't know what day it

3094
01:47:20,330 --> 01:47:20,430
is.

3095
01:47:20,470 --> 01:47:22,070
I don't actually, but I think it's Sunday.

3096
01:47:22,150 --> 01:47:22,670
No, you don't.

3097
01:47:22,770 --> 01:47:23,190
You never do.

3098
01:47:23,250 --> 01:47:23,350
I don't.

3099
01:47:23,350 --> 01:47:24,090
We don't know what day it is.

3100
01:47:25,250 --> 01:47:27,890
And they're also listening on those modern podcast

3101
01:47:27,890 --> 01:47:28,350
apps.

3102
01:47:28,710 --> 01:47:30,950
And if you're in China, by the way,

3103
01:47:31,070 --> 01:47:35,330
hello Chinese, get yourself a modern podcast app.

3104
01:47:35,590 --> 01:47:38,670
Because Apple, and I have to go in

3105
01:47:38,670 --> 01:47:39,050
and check it.

3106
01:47:39,070 --> 01:47:40,390
There's a tool that I can check it

3107
01:47:40,390 --> 01:47:40,630
with.

3108
01:47:41,150 --> 01:47:44,810
Apple is now allowing the Chinese government, also

3109
01:47:44,810 --> 01:47:48,370
known as the CCP, the communist Chinese government,

3110
01:47:48,650 --> 01:47:52,210
to remove episodes they don't like from podcasts.

3111
01:47:54,550 --> 01:47:57,650
So, if you're using your Apple podcast app

3112
01:47:57,650 --> 01:47:59,350
in China, and I'm sure this will, I

3113
01:47:59,350 --> 01:48:00,310
mean, if Apple is going to do it

3114
01:48:00,310 --> 01:48:01,770
for China, why wouldn't they do it anywhere

3115
01:48:01,770 --> 01:48:02,150
else?

3116
01:48:02,970 --> 01:48:05,470
They allow the government censors to go in

3117
01:48:05,470 --> 01:48:07,790
and delete episodes they don't like.

3118
01:48:08,430 --> 01:48:09,310
How about that?

3119
01:48:10,050 --> 01:48:11,790
They probably have a team of people.

3120
01:48:12,270 --> 01:48:12,390
Yeah.

3121
01:48:12,570 --> 01:48:13,390
Well, exactly.

3122
01:48:13,910 --> 01:48:14,610
And who knows?

3123
01:48:14,730 --> 01:48:16,830
I mean, so the modern podcast apps, they

3124
01:48:16,830 --> 01:48:18,530
hook up to the podcast index, which is

3125
01:48:18,530 --> 01:48:19,830
never going to censor anybody.

3126
01:48:20,430 --> 01:48:21,950
And you can get to it in a

3127
01:48:21,950 --> 01:48:22,870
million different ways.

3128
01:48:23,210 --> 01:48:25,290
You can go directly to podcastindex.org even.

3129
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,930
So, you want to consider what you're using.

3130
01:48:28,090 --> 01:48:30,710
Those modern podcast apps, they're good because they

3131
01:48:30,710 --> 01:48:33,070
also give you the live stream, another thing

3132
01:48:33,070 --> 01:48:34,510
Apple hasn't figured out yet.

3133
01:48:35,030 --> 01:48:37,210
You know, these guys are so short-sighted.

3134
01:48:38,490 --> 01:48:41,210
Every single radio station in the world has

3135
01:48:41,210 --> 01:48:41,690
a stream.

3136
01:48:42,610 --> 01:48:43,310
Yeah, nowadays.

3137
01:48:43,610 --> 01:48:43,770
Yeah.

3138
01:48:44,330 --> 01:48:45,970
And now you've gotten to the point where

3139
01:48:45,970 --> 01:48:50,110
Netflix has decided to start the stream.

3140
01:48:51,590 --> 01:48:54,210
Well, not streaming radio, just streaming.

3141
01:48:54,210 --> 01:48:55,290
No, no, I'm just saying this.

3142
01:48:55,390 --> 01:48:57,310
I mean, the idea of streaming as opposed

3143
01:48:57,310 --> 01:49:01,450
to just stagnant content has been picked up

3144
01:49:01,450 --> 01:49:01,990
by everyone.

3145
01:49:02,230 --> 01:49:03,790
Yes, streaming is hip.

3146
01:49:04,010 --> 01:49:06,790
I mean, this is a podcast that we

3147
01:49:06,790 --> 01:49:08,110
do, so you can listen to it anytime

3148
01:49:08,110 --> 01:49:09,510
you want, just like any other podcast.

3149
01:49:09,990 --> 01:49:12,670
But it's also streamed.

3150
01:49:13,590 --> 01:49:16,510
It's streamed live every Sunday and Thursday.

3151
01:49:17,930 --> 01:49:19,770
And you can sit there and you can

3152
01:49:19,770 --> 01:49:22,130
say things and John doesn't look at it

3153
01:49:22,130 --> 01:49:25,890
because, and I understand why, but, you know,

3154
01:49:25,950 --> 01:49:27,170
I have peripheral vision.

3155
01:49:27,290 --> 01:49:28,910
I'm like, oh, okay, there's someone saying something.

3156
01:49:29,030 --> 01:49:29,390
Oh, okay.

3157
01:49:29,450 --> 01:49:30,290
And we add it in.

3158
01:49:30,350 --> 01:49:31,970
It's like a studio audience with a voice,

3159
01:49:31,970 --> 01:49:34,170
only I can't hear you, so that I

3160
01:49:34,170 --> 01:49:36,530
can tell people what you're saying, but you're

3161
01:49:36,530 --> 01:49:37,890
not just yelling it out and I don't

3162
01:49:37,890 --> 01:49:38,190
hear it.

3163
01:49:38,190 --> 01:49:39,190
That'd be great if you could get the

3164
01:49:39,190 --> 01:49:41,810
sound so you can just hear people in

3165
01:49:41,810 --> 01:49:42,570
the background yelling.

3166
01:49:44,430 --> 01:49:45,070
Like hecklers.

3167
01:49:45,170 --> 01:49:45,770
Let's do that.

3168
01:49:45,810 --> 01:49:46,650
That'd be kind of funny.

3169
01:49:47,310 --> 01:49:48,310
It would be funny.

3170
01:49:48,410 --> 01:49:49,850
Yeah, no, we can do a Discord where

3171
01:49:49,850 --> 01:49:51,250
everybody can scream and yell.

3172
01:49:51,550 --> 01:49:52,190
I'll try.

3173
01:49:52,310 --> 01:49:52,810
I'll set it up.

3174
01:49:52,910 --> 01:49:53,710
We'll see how that goes.

3175
01:49:54,310 --> 01:49:55,670
Oh, yeah, I can already tell you how

3176
01:49:55,670 --> 01:49:56,170
it's going to go.

3177
01:49:56,270 --> 01:49:57,850
I know exactly how it's going to go.

3178
01:49:58,530 --> 01:50:00,170
Hey, man, that's fake and gay.

3179
01:50:00,350 --> 01:50:04,070
Okay, that's all that's the standard line.

3180
01:50:04,290 --> 01:50:05,430
You suck, Curry.

3181
01:50:05,710 --> 01:50:07,010
Yeah, I know, I know.

3182
01:50:08,450 --> 01:50:10,430
That's the only line these guys have.

3183
01:50:10,430 --> 01:50:12,590
Very, very mature audience when it comes down

3184
01:50:12,590 --> 01:50:12,970
to it.

3185
01:50:12,970 --> 01:50:15,570
Extremely mature, but we appreciate the trolls and

3186
01:50:15,570 --> 01:50:18,370
they are, of course, a driving force behind

3187
01:50:18,370 --> 01:50:19,390
No Agenda Nation.

3188
01:50:19,510 --> 01:50:20,310
We love all of you.

3189
01:50:20,930 --> 01:50:23,510
The trolls, I'm sure that a lot of

3190
01:50:23,510 --> 01:50:25,150
the trolls are not actually trolls, but they're

3191
01:50:25,150 --> 01:50:28,550
artists and those artists participate in our value

3192
01:50:28,550 --> 01:50:29,370
for value model.

3193
01:50:29,490 --> 01:50:30,490
We talked about it earlier.

3194
01:50:32,110 --> 01:50:35,370
How the transition to AI, which, don't worry,

3195
01:50:35,430 --> 01:50:36,250
it's not going to be long.

3196
01:50:36,690 --> 01:50:39,290
Pretty soon we'll have quantum art.

3197
01:50:39,750 --> 01:50:40,230
QA.

3198
01:50:40,530 --> 01:50:41,390
Quantum art.

3199
01:50:41,570 --> 01:50:42,410
It's all coming.

3200
01:50:42,590 --> 01:50:43,810
Quantum art is on the way.

3201
01:50:43,930 --> 01:50:45,310
The pivot to quantum is happening.

3202
01:50:46,010 --> 01:50:49,850
But instead, I'd like to just get a

3203
01:50:49,850 --> 01:50:53,210
desktop quantum computer that can even add 2

3204
01:50:53,210 --> 01:50:53,710
plus 2.

3205
01:50:54,110 --> 01:50:55,150
I'd be happy with that.

3206
01:50:55,330 --> 01:50:57,950
Well, I run my own models at home,

3207
01:50:58,090 --> 01:51:01,250
so this AI stuff is like, I don't

3208
01:51:01,250 --> 01:51:02,170
need chat GPT.

3209
01:51:02,290 --> 01:51:03,510
I run my own at home on a

3210
01:51:03,510 --> 01:51:05,130
little computer.

3211
01:51:05,290 --> 01:51:05,810
It works fine.

3212
01:51:06,990 --> 01:51:09,870
Now, there was, once again, some complaints about

3213
01:51:09,870 --> 01:51:10,390
the artwork.

3214
01:51:10,950 --> 01:51:12,110
I got a complaint.

3215
01:51:13,110 --> 01:51:13,590
Wow.

3216
01:51:13,590 --> 01:51:15,530
Yep, I got one complaint, but I got

3217
01:51:15,530 --> 01:51:16,110
a complaint.

3218
01:51:16,930 --> 01:51:18,630
Okay, let's read the complaint.

3219
01:51:20,030 --> 01:51:22,130
I took the phone out of my pocket

3220
01:51:22,130 --> 01:51:24,750
and was very embarrassed when I pulled up

3221
01:51:24,750 --> 01:51:25,510
your episode.

3222
01:51:25,990 --> 01:51:28,630
It was not safe for work or children.

3223
01:51:30,770 --> 01:51:30,990
What?

3224
01:51:31,290 --> 01:51:32,590
That was the complaint, yes.

3225
01:51:33,170 --> 01:51:34,530
That's not true.

3226
01:51:35,210 --> 01:51:39,390
Well, this particular person, who is a knight,

3227
01:51:39,490 --> 01:51:41,850
by the way, said...

3228
01:51:41,850 --> 01:51:44,130
I appreciate the knights chiming in with their

3229
01:51:44,130 --> 01:51:44,550
thoughts.

3230
01:51:44,770 --> 01:51:47,370
Yeah, and said, it was not safe for

3231
01:51:47,370 --> 01:51:49,490
work, to which I replied, noted.

3232
01:51:50,030 --> 01:51:51,070
That's always a good one.

3233
01:51:51,130 --> 01:51:51,890
I learned that from you.

3234
01:51:51,930 --> 01:51:52,170
What did you say?

3235
01:51:52,390 --> 01:51:53,210
I said, noted.

3236
01:51:54,090 --> 01:51:54,790
Oh, yeah.

3237
01:51:55,830 --> 01:51:56,910
That's my reply.

3238
01:51:56,930 --> 01:51:58,430
Noted, like I wrote it down on a

3239
01:51:58,430 --> 01:51:58,610
note.

3240
01:51:59,050 --> 01:52:02,010
And then I said, to be fair, our

3241
01:52:02,010 --> 01:52:06,170
podcast is marked as explicit in the feed

3242
01:52:06,170 --> 01:52:08,250
and everywhere on all podcasts' apps.

3243
01:52:08,250 --> 01:52:11,870
So, we have signaled ahead of time that

3244
01:52:11,870 --> 01:52:14,630
we are an explicit podcast, whatever that means.

3245
01:52:17,430 --> 01:52:20,830
But, art-wise, I mean, we couldn't stay

3246
01:52:20,830 --> 01:52:22,270
away from it because it was...

3247
01:52:22,790 --> 01:52:25,230
See, this is the stuff that chat GPT...

3248
01:52:25,230 --> 01:52:26,750
No AI can come up with this.

3249
01:52:26,850 --> 01:52:30,190
Even though it's made with AI, because we

3250
01:52:30,190 --> 01:52:32,930
know that Francisco Scaramanga, who did this piece

3251
01:52:32,930 --> 01:52:36,390
for us, we know that he uses AI

3252
01:52:36,390 --> 01:52:37,130
exclusively.

3253
01:52:37,990 --> 01:52:40,390
Yes, but we can see that Davos Hospitality

3254
01:52:40,390 --> 01:52:41,850
wasn't put on there by AI.

3255
01:52:42,050 --> 01:52:44,170
AI can barely print its own name.

3256
01:52:46,710 --> 01:52:49,370
Quantum will be able to spell its own

3257
01:52:49,370 --> 01:52:49,690
name.

3258
01:52:49,930 --> 01:52:52,050
Q-U-W...

3259
01:52:53,670 --> 01:52:56,430
Okay, so this is the artwork which we

3260
01:52:56,430 --> 01:52:59,010
both agreed that it was the only acceptable

3261
01:52:59,010 --> 01:52:59,490
artwork.

3262
01:52:59,690 --> 01:53:02,270
You actually pushed back while I was saying

3263
01:53:02,270 --> 01:53:03,050
we should go with it.

3264
01:53:03,190 --> 01:53:04,550
You were apprehensive.

3265
01:53:05,770 --> 01:53:07,350
Well, I...

3266
01:53:07,350 --> 01:53:10,210
Okay, this is not untrue.

3267
01:53:11,710 --> 01:53:12,270
Noted.

3268
01:53:12,550 --> 01:53:12,970
What do you mean?

3269
01:53:13,450 --> 01:53:14,010
Noted.

3270
01:53:14,130 --> 01:53:15,370
This is not untrue.

3271
01:53:15,670 --> 01:53:19,150
The reason was because I said, you called

3272
01:53:19,150 --> 01:53:20,950
me out on it, I think rightfully so,

3273
01:53:21,030 --> 01:53:24,290
I said you know, as much as I'm

3274
01:53:24,290 --> 01:53:28,530
the big advocate for cheesecake, I said I

3275
01:53:28,530 --> 01:53:30,790
don't think we can keep just doing it,

3276
01:53:30,810 --> 01:53:34,230
you know, constantly, and Scaramanga loves it.

3277
01:53:35,490 --> 01:53:37,510
And so I kind of pushed back a

3278
01:53:37,510 --> 01:53:39,010
little bit, and then you jumped all over

3279
01:53:39,010 --> 01:53:41,110
me because I'm the one who's behind it.

3280
01:53:41,250 --> 01:53:44,370
I'm actually, literally this would have never been

3281
01:53:44,370 --> 01:53:46,510
produced by Scaramanga if it wasn't for my

3282
01:53:46,510 --> 01:53:50,510
commentary over the years about cheesecake being attractive

3283
01:53:51,110 --> 01:53:52,030
to people.

3284
01:53:52,790 --> 01:53:54,930
It's just attention-getting, and that's what we're

3285
01:53:54,930 --> 01:53:55,670
trying to do with art.

3286
01:53:55,870 --> 01:53:58,270
You try to get people's attention.

3287
01:53:58,670 --> 01:54:02,510
And a couple of big boobs holding a

3288
01:54:02,510 --> 01:54:04,670
plate of lemons and garlic, which is a

3289
01:54:04,670 --> 01:54:06,110
reference to partly of the show.

3290
01:54:06,550 --> 01:54:07,890
And the Davos hospitality.

3291
01:54:08,350 --> 01:54:10,490
And the Davos hospitality indicated that she's a

3292
01:54:10,490 --> 01:54:11,170
whore.

3293
01:54:12,150 --> 01:54:14,530
A high-end escort, I think, is what

3294
01:54:14,530 --> 01:54:15,090
is preferred.

3295
01:54:17,130 --> 01:54:20,630
I thought it was sketchy, but at the

3296
01:54:20,630 --> 01:54:22,230
same time it was the best piece.

3297
01:54:22,890 --> 01:54:23,910
It was good.

3298
01:54:25,170 --> 01:54:26,770
But I don't see how it's offensive.

3299
01:54:26,770 --> 01:54:28,750
No, I didn't say it was offensive.

3300
01:54:29,090 --> 01:54:31,030
No, your knight thought it was.

3301
01:54:31,510 --> 01:54:33,230
He thought it was not safe for work.

3302
01:54:33,570 --> 01:54:34,690
It's not naked woman.

3303
01:54:34,930 --> 01:54:35,410
Embarrassing.

3304
01:54:36,110 --> 01:54:37,950
This kind of outfit you can see on

3305
01:54:37,950 --> 01:54:38,410
the street.

3306
01:54:40,030 --> 01:54:40,850
It's true.

3307
01:54:41,190 --> 01:54:42,470
What do you mean the street?

3308
01:54:42,970 --> 01:54:44,950
You can see this in the grocery store.

3309
01:54:45,430 --> 01:54:48,210
Women walk around in yoga clothes, yoga pants,

3310
01:54:48,290 --> 01:54:48,670
everywhere.

3311
01:54:49,350 --> 01:54:49,590
Yeah.

3312
01:54:50,850 --> 01:54:51,390
Oh, you've noticed.

3313
01:54:53,430 --> 01:54:56,310
And that Sanchez woman, Bezos is hanging out.

3314
01:54:56,610 --> 01:54:58,110
The inauguration.

3315
01:54:58,550 --> 01:54:59,470
The inauguration.

3316
01:54:59,670 --> 01:55:01,350
Did he turn off the inauguration?

3317
01:55:02,870 --> 01:55:03,670
Probably not.

3318
01:55:03,970 --> 01:55:04,830
I don't think so.

3319
01:55:05,470 --> 01:55:07,990
So I'll defend the piece from that perspective.

3320
01:55:08,230 --> 01:55:08,690
Let me see.

3321
01:55:08,750 --> 01:55:10,050
We did look at a few other things.

3322
01:55:10,210 --> 01:55:12,170
We looked at the AI meal plan.

3323
01:55:14,150 --> 01:55:16,150
You like the Stargate.

3324
01:55:17,290 --> 01:55:19,650
I didn't push for it.

3325
01:55:19,670 --> 01:55:20,730
I said, what about the Stargate?

3326
01:55:20,790 --> 01:55:21,690
And you said, no one will know what

3327
01:55:21,690 --> 01:55:21,970
it is.

3328
01:55:21,970 --> 01:55:22,730
And I'm like, you're correct.

3329
01:55:23,990 --> 01:55:25,410
What else was there?

3330
01:55:25,570 --> 01:55:29,170
What was this pickle surprise with a French

3331
01:55:29,170 --> 01:55:29,630
guy?

3332
01:55:29,730 --> 01:55:31,230
I didn't understand that one.

3333
01:55:33,250 --> 01:55:34,810
I mean, a lot of this AI art

3334
01:55:34,810 --> 01:55:35,970
is really crap.

3335
01:55:36,790 --> 01:55:38,970
And it's just bad ideas by people who

3336
01:55:38,970 --> 01:55:40,810
can use AI, which is everybody.

3337
01:55:41,730 --> 01:55:42,590
That's the downside.

3338
01:55:44,010 --> 01:55:45,090
That's the downside.

3339
01:55:45,910 --> 01:55:49,270
We both kind of liked what Darren O

3340
01:55:49,270 --> 01:55:49,730
'Neill did.

3341
01:55:49,730 --> 01:55:52,310
How does Darren O'Neill even do it

3342
01:55:52,310 --> 01:55:57,090
where he gets an AI prompt to make

3343
01:55:57,090 --> 01:56:00,350
a robot painting the French artist guy?

3344
01:56:00,530 --> 01:56:02,990
I mean, it was just bizarrely good.

3345
01:56:03,750 --> 01:56:05,290
I used it for the newsletter.

3346
01:56:05,630 --> 01:56:08,190
Yeah, it was bizarrely good.

3347
01:56:08,210 --> 01:56:10,050
Because it's like, I mean, I wanted to

3348
01:56:10,050 --> 01:56:13,670
use something else because Darren is like producing

3349
01:56:13,670 --> 01:56:17,610
all this material that is like unbeatable.

3350
01:56:17,610 --> 01:56:18,530
Highly usable.

3351
01:56:20,150 --> 01:56:22,090
He really nailed it.

3352
01:56:23,770 --> 01:56:26,030
The art of the art.

3353
01:56:27,590 --> 01:56:30,530
People should call him up and make him

3354
01:56:30,530 --> 01:56:31,390
teach them.

3355
01:56:32,090 --> 01:56:32,430
Yeah.

3356
01:56:33,310 --> 01:56:34,390
Yeah, they should.

3357
01:56:34,710 --> 01:56:35,850
He should charge for it.

3358
01:56:36,670 --> 01:56:37,150
He could.

3359
01:56:37,430 --> 01:56:38,110
Yeah, he could.

3360
01:56:39,090 --> 01:56:40,630
So I think that was about it.

3361
01:56:41,090 --> 01:56:42,710
That was the only thing that we really

3362
01:56:42,710 --> 01:56:43,370
discussed.

3363
01:56:44,070 --> 01:56:46,870
I thought the comic strip blogger Trump with

3364
01:56:46,870 --> 01:56:49,790
his No Agenda Best Podcast Universe Executive Order

3365
01:56:49,790 --> 01:56:50,230
was cute.

3366
01:56:50,310 --> 01:56:51,510
I used that for the Bat Signal this

3367
01:56:51,510 --> 01:56:51,770
morning.

3368
01:56:51,870 --> 01:56:52,570
I thought it was just cute.

3369
01:56:52,590 --> 01:56:54,850
Yeah, I was going to almost use that

3370
01:56:54,850 --> 01:56:55,570
for the newsletter.

3371
01:56:55,870 --> 01:56:58,550
But it's like it's illegal.

3372
01:57:00,700 --> 01:57:01,220
Illegal?

3373
01:57:02,040 --> 01:57:03,520
To be honest about it.

3374
01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:05,160
And I decided I'm not going to do

3375
01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:05,260
it.

3376
01:57:05,260 --> 01:57:05,700
Illegal?

3377
01:57:06,580 --> 01:57:10,180
Yeah, you can't use a famous person to

3378
01:57:10,180 --> 01:57:12,800
promote something without compensation.

3379
01:57:14,020 --> 01:57:14,540
Right.

3380
01:57:15,060 --> 01:57:15,500
Right.

3381
01:57:16,520 --> 01:57:18,100
But I think we're pretty safe with the

3382
01:57:18,100 --> 01:57:18,480
President.

3383
01:57:19,200 --> 01:57:22,280
I think so too, but it's still technically

3384
01:57:22,280 --> 01:57:23,120
illegal.

3385
01:57:23,600 --> 01:57:26,800
Yes, I felt okay though.

3386
01:57:27,040 --> 01:57:29,520
I don't think I'm ever going to get

3387
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:30,840
to sleep in the Lincoln bedroom.

3388
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:34,360
Joe Rogan got there before me, but otherwise

3389
01:57:36,160 --> 01:57:38,740
Yeah, I don't think that Trump as far

3390
01:57:38,740 --> 01:57:40,520
as Trump's concerned is another picture of him

3391
01:57:40,520 --> 01:57:40,840
out there.

3392
01:57:41,280 --> 01:57:42,520
Yeah, he's good with it.

3393
01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:44,520
I'm good, I'm good.

3394
01:57:45,340 --> 01:57:47,340
So in our value for value model, we

3395
01:57:47,340 --> 01:57:48,620
have time, we have talents.

3396
01:57:48,640 --> 01:57:50,440
But anyway, people should note that by the

3397
01:57:50,440 --> 01:57:50,640
way.

3398
01:57:50,740 --> 01:57:51,620
Yeah, that's a good point.

3399
01:57:52,060 --> 01:57:53,140
A lot of people don't know that.

3400
01:57:53,300 --> 01:57:54,780
Yeah, still people, a lot of people are

3401
01:57:54,780 --> 01:57:56,320
like, you're breaking the rules.

3402
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:56,960
Whatever.

3403
01:57:59,820 --> 01:58:02,500
We go to the treasure portion, which means

3404
01:58:02,500 --> 01:58:05,060
we thank everybody who supports us financially, which

3405
01:58:05,060 --> 01:58:07,380
is incredibly important because we have bills to

3406
01:58:07,380 --> 01:58:07,600
pay.

3407
01:58:07,980 --> 01:58:09,200
And this is all we have.

3408
01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:10,060
This is all we do.

3409
01:58:10,060 --> 01:58:12,740
It's a full-time job.

3410
01:58:13,880 --> 01:58:15,840
Let me just note for a second.

3411
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:19,160
I had 79 clips.

3412
01:58:19,880 --> 01:58:25,580
Now that includes meetups and I don't even

3413
01:58:25,580 --> 01:58:26,340
have ISOs.

3414
01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:28,020
That's without ISOs.

3415
01:58:28,300 --> 01:58:31,120
You came in with 28.

3416
01:58:32,120 --> 01:58:34,960
Now my 78 includes five real shorties from

3417
01:58:35,900 --> 01:58:39,280
No, six shorties from Queen Ursula.

3418
01:58:39,820 --> 01:58:41,780
Yeah, I have a 30 clip maximum.

3419
01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:44,080
If I go beyond that, I refuse to.

3420
01:58:44,380 --> 01:58:46,400
Because in other words, you only use about

3421
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:47,200
20 of these.

3422
01:58:48,140 --> 01:58:50,560
Well, we use a lot of the clips,

3423
01:58:50,680 --> 01:58:51,520
but the point is...

3424
01:58:51,520 --> 01:58:54,500
I'm just saying, it's just like if I

3425
01:58:54,500 --> 01:58:57,040
had to produce 70 clips, I wouldn't be

3426
01:58:57,040 --> 01:58:57,960
able to keep track of them.

3427
01:58:58,100 --> 01:58:58,800
I don't know how you do it.

3428
01:59:00,060 --> 01:59:01,140
I'm the podfather.

3429
01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:05,460
So the real work that goes into this

3430
01:59:05,460 --> 01:59:06,480
is a full-time gig.

3431
01:59:07,200 --> 01:59:08,580
Do it on vacations.

3432
01:59:10,700 --> 01:59:13,480
Don't take more than two shows off an

3433
01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:14,220
entire year.

3434
01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:15,180
So it's what we do.

3435
01:59:15,760 --> 01:59:17,560
And we've got four more years, so support

3436
01:59:17,560 --> 01:59:18,060
us now.

3437
01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:19,940
Unless you want to be two more years.

3438
01:59:19,940 --> 01:59:21,220
We've got eight days off coming.

3439
01:59:22,800 --> 01:59:23,200
What?

3440
01:59:23,200 --> 01:59:24,240
Eight days off?

3441
01:59:24,460 --> 01:59:24,920
When's that?

3442
01:59:25,060 --> 01:59:26,220
Yeah, two a year, you said.

3443
01:59:28,820 --> 01:59:30,380
Yeah, we never do them in a row,

3444
01:59:30,480 --> 01:59:30,660
though.

3445
01:59:33,100 --> 01:59:33,980
Let's do them in a row.

3446
01:59:33,980 --> 01:59:35,980
Let's do the next eight shows off.

3447
01:59:36,180 --> 01:59:41,080
Yeah, well, you can tell John's not happy.

3448
01:59:41,180 --> 01:59:43,900
I'm always happy because I just don't have

3449
01:59:43,900 --> 01:59:44,420
the same...

3450
01:59:44,420 --> 01:59:45,980
I don't have as many homes as John.

3451
01:59:46,080 --> 01:59:46,960
I don't have as many children.

3452
01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:48,340
It's easy for me.

3453
01:59:48,860 --> 01:59:51,660
John's got a whole empire to support.

3454
01:59:55,740 --> 01:59:56,780
Two compounds.

3455
01:59:57,460 --> 01:59:57,740
Yes.

3456
01:59:58,500 --> 02:00:01,700
We thank everybody, $50 and above, and just

3457
02:00:01,700 --> 02:00:05,880
like Hollywood, we like to give special props

3458
02:00:05,880 --> 02:00:07,740
to people who support us with more, like

3459
02:00:07,740 --> 02:00:10,220
executive and associate executive producers, just like Hollywood

3460
02:00:10,220 --> 02:00:10,520
does.

3461
02:00:10,840 --> 02:00:12,360
And the cool thing is you get a

3462
02:00:12,360 --> 02:00:14,900
credit, which is just like Hollywood's credits, because

3463
02:00:14,900 --> 02:00:15,780
you can use it anywhere.

3464
02:00:16,220 --> 02:00:17,540
Hollywood recognizes that.

3465
02:00:17,640 --> 02:00:19,500
So it's like being a part of Hollywood,

3466
02:00:19,700 --> 02:00:20,660
but not being lame.

3467
02:00:20,960 --> 02:00:22,900
Or, as the troll would say, fake and

3468
02:00:22,900 --> 02:00:23,120
gay.

3469
02:00:23,940 --> 02:00:27,120
So $200 or above, you get an associate

3470
02:00:27,120 --> 02:00:28,320
executive producer credit.

3471
02:00:28,400 --> 02:00:30,820
You can use it on imdb.com, your

3472
02:00:30,820 --> 02:00:33,720
LinkedIn profiles, your resume, and if anyone ever

3473
02:00:33,720 --> 02:00:35,460
questions that, we'll be happy to vouch for

3474
02:00:35,460 --> 02:00:35,580
you.

3475
02:00:35,620 --> 02:00:37,100
We have done it several times over the

3476
02:00:37,100 --> 02:00:37,320
years.

3477
02:00:37,740 --> 02:00:38,680
We'll also read your note.

3478
02:00:38,780 --> 02:00:42,440
$300 and above, executive producer, same credit applies,

3479
02:00:42,540 --> 02:00:44,360
that you can use that anywhere, that Hollywood

3480
02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:46,120
credits are used, and we will read your

3481
02:00:46,120 --> 02:00:46,280
note.

3482
02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:48,460
And I will start it off with our

3483
02:00:48,460 --> 02:00:51,980
top executive producer, which is a switcheroo from

3484
02:00:51,980 --> 02:00:52,820
Sean Homan.

3485
02:00:53,500 --> 02:00:56,100
He's in Noblesville, Indiana, and he comes in

3486
02:00:56,100 --> 02:01:00,260
with a with a heavenly number, the striperboost777

3487
02:01:00,260 --> 02:01:04,260
.77, and he says, it's a switcheroo and

3488
02:01:04,260 --> 02:01:06,040
birthday donation for his wife.

3489
02:01:06,620 --> 02:01:08,820
She becomes a dame with this donation, doesn't

3490
02:01:08,820 --> 02:01:10,880
get any crazier, and henceforth she'll be known

3491
02:01:10,880 --> 02:01:13,340
as Dame Liz of Roxyville.

3492
02:01:13,840 --> 02:01:15,160
Thank you for your courage, fellas.

3493
02:01:15,360 --> 02:01:18,620
God bless Gitmo Nation, and please visit StealthArms

3494
02:01:18,620 --> 02:01:22,060
.net and design your platypus today, the finest

3495
02:01:22,060 --> 02:01:25,600
1911 double-stack pistol that takes Glock 17

3496
02:01:25,600 --> 02:01:26,280
mags.

3497
02:01:26,900 --> 02:01:27,480
It does.

3498
02:01:27,960 --> 02:01:33,790
You get 17 rounds in that thing, the

3499
02:01:33,790 --> 02:01:34,270
platypus.

3500
02:01:34,750 --> 02:01:37,490
Thank you very much, and Liz will be

3501
02:01:37,490 --> 02:01:39,390
Dame Liz of Roxyville today.

3502
02:01:41,530 --> 02:01:44,290
Meanwhile, we got Sir Meister Chitchat in Little

3503
02:01:44,290 --> 02:01:51,150
Rock, Arkansas, 34373, and he writes in, howdy,

3504
02:01:51,970 --> 02:01:53,630
salutations, good day, gentlemen.

3505
02:01:54,210 --> 02:01:55,810
This donation is a switcheroo.

3506
02:01:56,110 --> 02:01:59,250
Two switcheroos at the top, first time ever.

3507
02:02:00,890 --> 02:02:04,110
To de-douche my wife.

3508
02:02:06,090 --> 02:02:07,710
You've been de-douched.

3509
02:02:07,910 --> 02:02:09,750
He doesn't actually give her name, which is

3510
02:02:09,750 --> 02:02:10,430
kind of odd.

3511
02:02:12,730 --> 02:02:16,450
Yeah, she's Mrs. Chitchat.

3512
02:02:16,590 --> 02:02:19,370
And start her path to damehood.

3513
02:02:19,730 --> 02:02:22,970
As a knight, Sir Meister Chitchat of Harmony

3514
02:02:22,970 --> 02:02:26,970
Homestead, must a lady befitting his title as,

3515
02:02:27,230 --> 02:02:29,910
must a lady befitting his title as they

3516
02:02:30,650 --> 02:02:35,210
begin their journey of forging, some people write

3517
02:02:35,210 --> 02:02:38,790
convoluted sentences, as they begin their journey of

3518
02:02:38,790 --> 02:02:40,490
forging human resources.

3519
02:02:40,650 --> 02:02:42,210
Having babies, I think that's what that means.

3520
02:02:42,870 --> 02:02:45,510
The lineage must be pure and sourced of

3521
02:02:45,510 --> 02:02:46,330
royal stock.

3522
02:02:46,470 --> 02:02:47,070
That makes sense.

3523
02:02:47,150 --> 02:02:48,770
Ah, I see what he's up to.

3524
02:02:50,630 --> 02:02:52,610
Gotta give her damehood so they have royal

3525
02:02:52,610 --> 02:02:52,930
stock.

3526
02:02:53,030 --> 02:02:55,810
We have been going through fertility treatments over

3527
02:02:55,810 --> 02:02:58,270
three years, and are attempting our second IVF

3528
02:02:58,270 --> 02:02:59,530
transfer in the next few weeks.

3529
02:02:59,930 --> 02:03:01,770
As such, I'd like to request prayers and

3530
02:03:01,770 --> 02:03:03,770
a double helping of baby-making karma.

3531
02:03:04,290 --> 02:03:04,910
Always a winner.

3532
02:03:05,210 --> 02:03:06,790
Thank you guys for all that you do

3533
02:03:06,790 --> 02:03:09,270
in helping us tap into the promise of,

3534
02:03:09,970 --> 02:03:12,790
where two or more gather in my name,

3535
02:03:12,910 --> 02:03:13,910
there I will be.

3536
02:03:14,590 --> 02:03:18,110
Huzzah to four more years, Sir Meister Chitchat

3537
02:03:18,110 --> 02:03:21,290
of Harmony Homestead in Little Rock.

3538
02:03:21,550 --> 02:03:23,810
So we'll give that to Mrs. Chitchat of

3539
02:03:23,810 --> 02:03:25,010
Harmony Homestead.

3540
02:03:25,230 --> 02:03:25,490
Yes.

3541
02:03:25,490 --> 02:03:28,490
And I already prayed for you when I

3542
02:03:28,490 --> 02:03:30,050
saw the note, so here's your baby-making

3543
02:03:30,050 --> 02:03:30,370
karma.

3544
02:03:32,210 --> 02:03:37,960
You've got karma.

3545
02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:38,740
Alright.

3546
02:03:39,120 --> 02:03:39,720
Beautiful.

3547
02:03:39,920 --> 02:03:43,140
Let us know, and remember, you gotta name

3548
02:03:43,140 --> 02:03:43,840
it after us.

3549
02:03:44,900 --> 02:03:45,400
Yes.

3550
02:03:46,740 --> 02:03:53,260
Gene Knauss is in Petrolia, Ontario, CandaNavia333.61,

3551
02:03:53,500 --> 02:03:59,140
which is a $500 CandaNavian donation in dollarettes.

3552
02:03:59,900 --> 02:04:01,860
And it's from Gene Knauss, the matriarch of

3553
02:04:01,860 --> 02:04:03,560
Knauss Drywalling Clan.

3554
02:04:03,760 --> 02:04:07,220
Get your drywall completed by Noah Jendenite, based

3555
02:04:07,220 --> 02:04:08,400
near Petrolia, Canada.

3556
02:04:08,980 --> 02:04:10,800
This donation is in honor of my wonderful

3557
02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:14,400
husband Herman's 76th birthday on January 27th.

3558
02:04:14,520 --> 02:04:18,000
Besides having an amazingly wonderful human being, besides

3559
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:20,420
being an amazingly wonderful human being, he is

3560
02:04:20,420 --> 02:04:22,760
the patriarch of our tribe of 5 children

3561
02:04:22,760 --> 02:04:24,960
and 17 grandchildren.

3562
02:04:26,920 --> 02:04:28,400
No baby-making karma for you.

3563
02:04:29,220 --> 02:04:31,680
We are a family of homeschoolers, lovers of

3564
02:04:31,680 --> 02:04:34,580
Jesus, lovers of truth, and lovers of Canada.

3565
02:04:35,760 --> 02:04:37,340
Thank you, John and Adam, for helping us

3566
02:04:37,340 --> 02:04:41,240
wade through the nonsense that culture is trying

3567
02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:42,220
to present to us.

3568
02:04:42,420 --> 02:04:44,560
We are also thrilled to hear Adam's testimony

3569
02:04:44,560 --> 02:04:46,140
about his new life with Jesus.

3570
02:04:46,140 --> 02:04:47,780
Keep up the good work, guys!

3571
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:50,040
From Gene, and we thank you very much.

3572
02:04:50,780 --> 02:04:52,680
And on the list, taken care of.

3573
02:04:54,760 --> 02:04:57,660
Brian Skelton in Cedar Park.

3574
02:04:57,760 --> 02:04:58,420
Oh, Brian!

3575
02:04:58,580 --> 02:05:01,520
Everybody knows Brian from the Noah Jenda meetups

3576
02:05:01,520 --> 02:05:02,140
in Austin.

3577
02:05:02,800 --> 02:05:04,460
Brian, he's a good guy.

3578
02:05:05,620 --> 02:05:06,100
333.

3579
02:05:07,040 --> 02:05:09,960
Well, this is a bunch of hogwash, he

3580
02:05:09,960 --> 02:05:10,320
writes.

3581
02:05:10,520 --> 02:05:13,340
PayPal won't let me change my donation amount

3582
02:05:13,340 --> 02:05:14,840
to less than 333.

3583
02:05:14,840 --> 02:05:16,260
333, but whatever.

3584
02:05:17,480 --> 02:05:19,980
It's been too long since John got any

3585
02:05:19,980 --> 02:05:21,800
of my money to so enjoy.

3586
02:05:22,300 --> 02:05:24,460
Thank you guys for the best podcast in

3587
02:05:24,460 --> 02:05:26,380
the universe in the morning.

3588
02:05:26,960 --> 02:05:29,520
Brian has, we know Brian very well.

3589
02:05:29,640 --> 02:05:30,220
He's a good guy.

3590
02:05:30,540 --> 02:05:32,980
We love Brian when he donates.

3591
02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:35,560
You love him anyway.

3592
02:05:35,800 --> 02:05:37,100
Now, how would I pronounce this?

3593
02:05:37,180 --> 02:05:39,340
Yehola Salt Corporation?

3594
02:05:40,360 --> 02:05:41,640
J-O-L-L-A?

3595
02:05:41,640 --> 02:05:43,080
Yeah, it'd be La Jolla.

3596
02:05:43,280 --> 02:05:45,720
La Jolla Salt Corporation!

3597
02:05:46,960 --> 02:05:47,280
La Jolla.

3598
02:05:47,780 --> 02:05:49,220
I'm guessing it's in La Jolla.

3599
02:05:49,940 --> 02:05:50,680
It doesn't say.

3600
02:05:50,960 --> 02:05:52,600
No, it doesn't say at all.

3601
02:05:53,160 --> 02:05:56,040
Decimate dry skin with a luxurious sea salt

3602
02:05:56,040 --> 02:05:58,400
scrub from LaJollaSalt.com.

3603
02:05:58,820 --> 02:06:02,240
Enjoy the dazzling moisture and exfoliating power of

3605
02:06:05,420 --> 02:06:07,240
the sea in the village of La Jolla.

3606

For complete decimation, kick it in for a

3607
02:06:10,340 --> 02:06:13,020
bundle of 10 at LaJollaSalt.com.

3608
02:06:13,180 --> 02:06:15,840
Putting the sea back in sea salt scrub.

3609
02:06:16,780 --> 02:06:17,470
LaJollaSalt.com.

3610
02:06:18,080 --> 02:06:19,440
Man, thank you for your courage.

3611
02:06:19,600 --> 02:06:22,820
See, you're almost doing this right, LaJollaSalt Corporation,

3612
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:24,020
LaJollaSalt.com.

3613
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:26,400
You need to send some to John and

3614
02:06:26,400 --> 02:06:28,580
I so we can try your products.

3615
02:06:29,040 --> 02:06:29,920
We can't say anything.

3616
02:06:30,020 --> 02:06:30,960
We can't say if it's good.

3617
02:06:31,040 --> 02:06:31,600
We can't say anything.

3618
02:06:31,620 --> 02:06:32,060
We don't know.

3619
02:06:33,380 --> 02:06:35,960
I would like a luxurious sea salt scrub.

3620
02:06:35,960 --> 02:06:38,060
Yeah, you could use one.

3621
02:06:38,520 --> 02:06:39,700
Wow, really?

3622
02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:40,920
What?

3623
02:06:41,180 --> 02:06:41,780
You're rude.

3624
02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:43,760
That's not disparaging.

3625
02:06:45,260 --> 02:06:49,220
Eli the Coffee Guy in Bensonville, Illinois 20126.

3626
02:06:50,300 --> 02:06:52,260
The last episode was dynamite.

3627
02:06:52,760 --> 02:06:56,680
Ever since listening, I've been using ChatGPT to

3628
02:06:56,680 --> 02:06:57,700
plan my meals.

3629
02:07:00,120 --> 02:07:01,760
A lot of lemon, I guess.

3630
02:07:03,280 --> 02:07:05,980
There was somebody who did a posting that

3631
02:07:06,460 --> 02:07:08,900
they did the whole meal and recipes and

3632
02:07:08,900 --> 02:07:10,600
everything, and then they produced it.

3633
02:07:10,660 --> 02:07:11,800
This was on Twitter.

3634
02:07:12,040 --> 02:07:13,120
It was aimed at us.

3635
02:07:13,880 --> 02:07:15,760
They did the whole thing, and they found

3636
02:07:15,760 --> 02:07:17,400
these, and they produced it, and they said,

3637
02:07:17,500 --> 02:07:19,300
it tasted pretty good, but he had a

3638
02:07:19,300 --> 02:07:20,460
picture of this food.

3639
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:23,700
Oh my God, it looked like somebody threw

3640
02:07:23,700 --> 02:07:24,400
up on a dish.

3641
02:07:26,180 --> 02:07:27,580
That's AI slop.

3642
02:07:27,780 --> 02:07:28,320
There it is.

3643
02:07:31,260 --> 02:07:33,860
If I keep it up, he continues, my

3644
02:07:33,860 --> 02:07:35,740
guess is within a year, I'll get at

3645
02:07:35,740 --> 02:07:37,600
least one recipe for bugs.

3646
02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:40,040
Let us know when you do.

3647
02:07:40,400 --> 02:07:43,600
I also asked ChatGPT what the best brand

3648
02:07:43,600 --> 02:07:45,920
of roasted coffee was, and what do you

3649
02:07:45,920 --> 02:07:46,380
know?

3650
02:07:46,740 --> 02:07:49,280
The AI told me it was gigawatt coffee.

3651
02:07:49,480 --> 02:07:50,320
It's crazy.

3652
02:07:50,480 --> 02:07:53,520
It also advised me to use code ITM20

3653
02:07:54,120 --> 02:07:55,860
for 20% off my order.

3654
02:07:56,200 --> 02:07:57,440
Gotta love technology.

3655
02:07:57,640 --> 02:07:59,820
Stay caffeinated, Eli the Coffee Guy.

3656
02:08:01,320 --> 02:08:05,100
$200 and 20126.

3657
02:08:05,480 --> 02:08:07,520
I'm drinking the gigawatts this morning.

3658
02:08:07,700 --> 02:08:08,140
The espresso.

3659
02:08:08,140 --> 02:08:08,680
Yeah, we noticed.

3660
02:08:08,900 --> 02:08:11,340
Please, you already made that joke 5,000

3661
02:08:11,340 --> 02:08:11,920
times.

3662
02:08:12,820 --> 02:08:13,680
I know I...

3663
02:08:14,280 --> 02:08:14,760
Maybe.

3664
02:08:15,220 --> 02:08:17,140
I hate it when people do that.

3665
02:08:18,280 --> 02:08:18,740
Oh, okay.

3666
02:08:18,980 --> 02:08:19,440
Well, good.

3667
02:08:19,500 --> 02:08:21,040
Then I shall remind you when you do

3668
02:08:21,040 --> 02:08:21,260
it.

3669
02:08:22,120 --> 02:08:22,880
Yeah, you should.

3670
02:08:23,200 --> 02:08:24,300
It's bad form.

3671
02:08:24,560 --> 02:08:27,340
Sir Angel of Smyrna, who was knighted on

3672
02:08:27,340 --> 02:08:28,900
the last show in Smyrna, Georgia.

3673
02:08:29,020 --> 02:08:29,460
$200.

3674
02:08:29,840 --> 02:08:31,680
Associate Executive Producer credit for him.

3675
02:08:31,720 --> 02:08:33,340
And he says, thank you for the advice

3676
02:08:33,340 --> 02:08:34,380
on your Thursday show.

3677
02:08:34,700 --> 02:08:36,080
Ah, this is our stock tip guy.

3678
02:08:36,520 --> 02:08:38,340
I created a sub stack where my story

3679
02:08:38,340 --> 02:08:40,480
and stock market theory will be published in

3680
02:08:40,480 --> 02:08:40,820
full.

3681
02:08:41,440 --> 02:08:43,120
Noah Jen the Nation can find it at

3682
02:08:49,400 --> 02:08:50,920
For anyone who missed the Thursday show, the

3683
02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:53,500
theory details how the Federal Reserve appears to

3684
02:08:53,500 --> 02:08:57,640
be overtly influencing market direction, specifically the S

3685
02:08:57,640 --> 02:09:01,040
&P 500 in conjunction with a broader consortium

3686
02:09:01,040 --> 02:09:03,320
of actors that are orchestrating events in the

3687
02:09:03,320 --> 02:09:04,140
world around us.

3688
02:09:05,140 --> 02:09:07,420
All chapters will be published by 7.05

3689
02:09:07,420 --> 02:09:10,380
Eastern Time on Saturday, so it will be

3690
02:09:10,380 --> 02:09:12,000
available to everyone by the time you read

3691
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:12,900
this note on the show.

3692
02:09:12,960 --> 02:09:14,620
I'm not expecting to make any money for

3693
02:09:14,620 --> 02:09:16,880
what I'm sharing, and we'll publish everything for

3694
02:09:16,880 --> 02:09:17,580
free publicly.

3695
02:09:17,880 --> 02:09:19,980
I'm following the value for value model that

3696
02:09:19,980 --> 02:09:22,260
you've pioneered, so I've included a PayPal donation

3697
02:09:22,260 --> 02:09:24,920
link within the story for anyone feeling generous.

3698
02:09:25,280 --> 02:09:27,160
Donations are appreciated but never expected.

3699
02:09:27,280 --> 02:09:29,080
Yours truly, Sir Angelofsmyrna.

3700
02:09:29,320 --> 02:09:30,900
And if you make money on it, send

3701
02:09:30,900 --> 02:09:32,060
some to your Noah Jen the Show.

3702
02:09:33,240 --> 02:09:34,080
I'm just saying.

3703
02:09:34,080 --> 02:09:34,860
He's going to make money.

3704
02:09:35,940 --> 02:09:38,800
The reason is, he's got a screwy...

3705
02:09:38,800 --> 02:09:41,360
It's very crazy, but I think...

3706
02:09:41,360 --> 02:09:44,940
But the thing, that's what the market players,

3707
02:09:45,240 --> 02:09:48,500
they're just borderline inveterate gamblers.

3708
02:09:48,620 --> 02:09:50,780
We've talked about this type of personality before.

3709
02:09:51,580 --> 02:09:53,520
And the people that play the market, it's

3710
02:09:53,520 --> 02:09:54,060
very similar.

3711
02:09:54,140 --> 02:09:56,020
Some people are very lucky, they're very good,

3712
02:09:56,140 --> 02:09:57,560
they have a sense of things, but they're

3713
02:09:57,560 --> 02:09:59,720
always looking for an edge that nobody else

3714
02:09:59,720 --> 02:09:59,920
has.

3715
02:10:00,020 --> 02:10:03,320
This guy has one of those, possibly, possibly,

3716
02:10:03,480 --> 02:10:05,700
there's no way of knowing for a while,

3717
02:10:06,060 --> 02:10:08,260
whether he has this edge, but it always

3718
02:10:08,260 --> 02:10:10,600
takes someone who's a little nutty to come

3719
02:10:10,600 --> 02:10:13,020
up with something that might just work.

3720
02:10:13,840 --> 02:10:15,240
And so I bet you he does very

3721
02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:15,540
well.

3722
02:10:16,280 --> 02:10:17,280
I think so.

3723
02:10:17,620 --> 02:10:18,620
And we got him started.

3724
02:10:18,620 --> 02:10:19,560
We did.

3725
02:10:19,720 --> 02:10:21,020
We got him to sub-stack.

3726
02:10:21,180 --> 02:10:22,400
It was our fault.

3727
02:10:22,600 --> 02:10:24,240
By the way, Clip Custodian in the troll

3728
02:10:24,240 --> 02:10:25,940
room says that Trump is bad for the

3729
02:10:25,940 --> 02:10:26,180
show.

3730
02:10:26,580 --> 02:10:28,200
This Trump 2.0 is no good.

3731
02:10:28,280 --> 02:10:29,360
He needs to do something wacky.

3732
02:10:31,080 --> 02:10:32,100
There's something to it.

3733
02:10:32,160 --> 02:10:33,380
Trump is not good for the show.

3734
02:10:34,580 --> 02:10:35,380
I disagree.

3735
02:10:37,620 --> 02:10:38,420
I disagree.

3736
02:10:38,780 --> 02:10:40,680
And so with Linda Lupatkin, who's in Lakewood,

3737
02:10:40,760 --> 02:10:41,180
Colorado.

3738
02:10:41,280 --> 02:10:42,060
She's up next.

3739
02:10:43,360 --> 02:10:46,300
And she says, and she came in with

3740
02:10:46,300 --> 02:10:48,240
200 bucks and asked for Jobs, Carmen, for

3741
02:10:48,240 --> 02:10:50,080
a resume that gets results, she writes.

3742
02:10:51,280 --> 02:10:54,440
Visit ImageMakersInc.com, your go-to for all

3743
02:10:54,440 --> 02:10:57,000
your executive resume and job search needs.

3744
02:10:57,160 --> 02:10:58,440
That's ImageMakersInc with a K.

3745
02:10:59,260 --> 02:11:01,780
And work with Linda Lu, Duchess of Jobs

3746
02:11:01,780 --> 02:11:04,040
and writer of resumes.

3747
02:11:05,160 --> 02:11:08,000
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

3748
02:11:08,180 --> 02:11:09,700
Let's vote for jobs.

3749
02:11:10,580 --> 02:11:11,100
Karma.

3750
02:11:13,200 --> 02:11:14,700
And we're almost at the end of our

3751
02:11:14,700 --> 02:11:17,840
associate executive producers and therefore this donation segment.

3752
02:11:17,960 --> 02:11:20,140
Anonymous comes in with $200 and says this

3753
02:11:20,140 --> 02:11:22,920
donation is because you've ruined all other podcasts

3754
02:11:22,920 --> 02:11:25,600
for me that have commercial interruptions.

3755
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:26,540
Thanks.

3756
02:11:27,280 --> 02:11:28,120
You're welcome.

3757
02:11:32,420 --> 02:11:32,980
Wow.

3758
02:11:33,300 --> 02:11:33,540
Yeah.

3759
02:11:33,820 --> 02:11:34,220
Good.

3760
02:11:34,560 --> 02:11:35,420
That's what we're here for.

3761
02:11:35,820 --> 02:11:38,260
Last on the list is the Indie No

3762
02:11:38,260 --> 02:11:40,600
Agenda Meetup in Greenwood, Indiana.

3763
02:11:40,780 --> 02:11:42,420
And they have a switcheroo that came with

3764
02:11:42,420 --> 02:11:42,980
200 bucks.

3765
02:11:43,100 --> 02:11:44,620
It's the Indie No Agenda Meetup.

3766
02:11:45,300 --> 02:11:48,160
Raffle donation on behalf of Gary Goodman.

3767
02:11:49,220 --> 02:11:52,180
All available karma to Gary and those who

3768
02:11:52,180 --> 02:11:52,840
need it.

3769
02:11:53,520 --> 02:11:54,080
Oh, okay.

3770
02:11:54,240 --> 02:11:55,420
So we'll do a karma there.

3771
02:11:55,860 --> 02:11:57,080
And my nose will do a goat.

3772
02:11:57,200 --> 02:11:59,840
You've got karma.

3773
02:12:00,260 --> 02:12:02,100
And we do have a meetup report from

3774
02:12:02,100 --> 02:12:03,000
the Indiana crew.

3775
02:12:03,140 --> 02:12:04,680
Damonette put that together for us.

3776
02:12:04,700 --> 02:12:05,520
It's always a good one.

3777
02:12:05,580 --> 02:12:07,820
We have several good meetup reports today including

3778
02:12:07,820 --> 02:12:08,760
one from Tokyo.

3779
02:12:09,180 --> 02:12:10,500
So look forward to that in our second

3780
02:12:10,500 --> 02:12:11,280
donation segment.

3781
02:12:11,280 --> 02:12:13,200
Thank you to everyone who supported us today.

3782
02:12:13,280 --> 02:12:14,820
We'll be mentioning the rest of our donors

3783
02:12:14,820 --> 02:12:17,460
and supporters in the Value for Value model.

3784
02:12:17,580 --> 02:12:19,360
$50 and above in the second segment.

3785
02:12:19,520 --> 02:12:21,280
And once again, thank you to our executive

3786
02:12:21,280 --> 02:12:25,280
and associate executive producers for episode 1733.

3787
02:12:26,300 --> 02:12:27,420
Our formula is this.

3788
02:12:29,510 --> 02:12:30,730
We hit people in the mouth.

3789
02:12:35,710 --> 02:12:36,350
Order!

3790
02:12:37,810 --> 02:12:38,450
Order!

3791
02:12:39,010 --> 02:12:39,630
Shut up!

3792
02:12:41,190 --> 02:12:42,470
Shut up!

3793
02:12:44,830 --> 02:12:48,030
I have a couple of clips about RatNote.

3794
02:12:48,790 --> 02:12:49,430
RatNote?

3795
02:12:50,250 --> 02:12:52,250
Well, that's what they're calling it, at least

3796
02:12:52,250 --> 02:12:53,170
on NPR.

3797
02:12:54,070 --> 02:12:55,850
When TikTok looked doomed in the U.S.,

3798
02:12:55,850 --> 02:12:58,970
many users quickly signed up for another Chinese

3799
02:12:58,970 --> 02:13:00,710
-owned app called Trolls.

3800
02:13:00,710 --> 02:13:02,190
Xiaohongshu in protest.

3801
02:13:02,970 --> 02:13:04,290
Known as RedNote in English.

3802
02:13:04,910 --> 02:13:07,590
What happened next was a surprise as NPR's

3803
02:13:07,590 --> 02:13:08,750
Owen Tsao reports.

3804
02:13:09,290 --> 02:13:10,170
TikTok refugees.

3805
02:13:10,670 --> 02:13:13,270
That's how American users are describing themselves as

3806
02:13:13,270 --> 02:13:15,610
a connect with the Chinese community on RatNote.

3807
02:13:16,190 --> 02:13:18,750
Until last week, the app was mainly used

3808
02:13:18,750 --> 02:13:19,430
in China.

3809
02:13:19,830 --> 02:13:23,310
However, frustration over a potential ban has led

3810
02:13:23,310 --> 02:13:25,790
many TikTok users to switch to RatNote.

3811
02:13:26,050 --> 02:13:27,730
I'm a female farmer, so of course I

3812
02:13:27,730 --> 02:13:29,410
convinced my husband to let me get pigs

3813
02:13:29,410 --> 02:13:30,850
for Valentine's Day last year.

3814
02:13:31,110 --> 02:13:33,370
31-year-old Tyler Ross is one of

3815
02:13:33,370 --> 02:13:33,550
them.

3816
02:13:34,050 --> 02:13:36,330
Her day job is in human resources, but

3817
02:13:36,330 --> 02:13:38,550
she also posts videos on RatNote of her

3818
02:13:38,550 --> 02:13:40,490
life on a farm in Central Virginia.

3819
02:13:41,010 --> 02:13:43,230
She says her lifestyle is far from the

3820
02:13:43,230 --> 02:13:46,250
typical image of American farming, and the response

3821
02:13:46,250 --> 02:13:48,490
she's got has exceeded her expectations.

3822
02:13:48,950 --> 02:13:51,390
It's, I think, interesting to see people's reaction

3823
02:13:51,390 --> 02:13:53,930
when they only know things from the media

3824
02:13:53,930 --> 02:13:56,370
or TV, to see different types of ways

3825
02:13:56,370 --> 02:13:57,210
of doing things.

3826
02:13:57,810 --> 02:13:59,010
Everyone's been super friendly.

3827
02:13:59,210 --> 02:14:00,170
They all love our animals.

3828
02:14:00,610 --> 02:14:02,690
The videos of chickens and dogs she posts

3829
02:14:02,690 --> 02:14:05,930
gained her 18,000 followers within two days

3830
02:14:05,930 --> 02:14:07,090
of starting her account.

3831
02:14:07,670 --> 02:14:10,150
Once all the chickens have had their breakfast...

3832
02:14:10,150 --> 02:14:12,950
Now, a week later, that number has nearly

3833
02:14:12,950 --> 02:14:15,690
tripled, surpassing her TikTok followers.

3834
02:14:16,190 --> 02:14:18,930
Lizi Shen, a teacher from eastern China, is

3835
02:14:18,930 --> 02:14:20,350
one of Ross' new followers.

3836
02:14:20,750 --> 02:14:22,750
She shared a picture of her own garden

3837
02:14:22,750 --> 02:14:23,690
in the comments.

3838
02:14:23,690 --> 02:14:27,630
She says that seeing videos on RatNote has

3839
02:14:27,630 --> 02:14:30,470
given her a strong connection to ordinary Americans.

3840
02:15:52,910 --> 02:15:57,710
percent of you guys own homes is mind

3841
02:15:57,710 --> 02:15:58,350
-boggling.

3842
02:15:58,610 --> 02:16:01,750
It is like seriously almost impossible to own

3843
02:16:01,750 --> 02:16:03,150
a home anywhere in the US.

3844
02:16:03,330 --> 02:16:05,590
You have to work immensely hard.

3845
02:16:05,690 --> 02:16:07,830
How about y'all's law school is like

3846
02:16:07,830 --> 02:16:10,210
$800 a year and I think that your

3847
02:16:10,210 --> 02:16:14,810
homeless rate is like 0.18%. I have

3848
02:16:14,810 --> 02:16:17,130
people living in outside the tents outside of

3849
02:16:17,130 --> 02:16:19,190
my building like it's terrible here.

3850
02:16:19,350 --> 02:16:19,630
What?

3851
02:16:20,050 --> 02:16:22,750
I saw somebody say earlier that a cancer

3852
02:16:22,750 --> 02:16:26,970
medication that they get is about $20 in

3853
02:16:26,970 --> 02:16:31,290
China and they are paying $22,000 a

3854
02:16:31,290 --> 02:16:35,030
month in the US for that same medication.

3855
02:16:35,709 --> 02:16:36,290
What?

3856
02:16:36,570 --> 02:16:38,090
A lot of you guys were also thinking

3857
02:16:38,090 --> 02:16:41,750
that it's propaganda that our kids sometimes if

3858
02:16:41,750 --> 02:16:43,410
they can afford it and their parents want

3859
02:16:43,410 --> 02:16:45,330
to we'll put them in a bulletproof like

3860
02:16:45,330 --> 02:16:46,610
backpack to go to school.

3861
02:16:46,830 --> 02:16:48,670
They also do stand up and do the

3862
02:16:48,670 --> 02:16:51,650
Pledge of Allegiance every single day before class

3863
02:16:51,650 --> 02:16:52,209
starts.

3864
02:16:52,430 --> 02:16:56,250
This whole experience might just be the most

3865
02:16:56,250 --> 02:16:59,730
awake and united I think I've ever seen

3866
02:16:59,730 --> 02:17:00,430
this country.

3867
02:17:01,190 --> 02:17:05,809
We are pissed at our government number one.

3868
02:17:06,150 --> 02:17:08,830
Number two, astounded.

3869
02:17:09,530 --> 02:17:10,709
Absolutely astounded.

3870
02:17:11,110 --> 02:17:14,730
Yeah well listen talker, rat note.

3871
02:17:15,910 --> 02:17:17,889
Do you think that they can talk smack

3872
02:17:17,889 --> 02:17:18,750
about their government?

3873
02:17:19,590 --> 02:17:20,610
I don't think so.

3874
02:17:21,070 --> 02:17:21,809
No of course not.

3875
02:17:21,930 --> 02:17:23,969
They won't even let episodes in on Apple

3876
02:17:23,969 --> 02:17:25,150
podcasts please.

3877
02:17:25,270 --> 02:17:27,090
No but they love clips like this.

3878
02:17:27,209 --> 02:17:27,450
Yeah.

3879
02:17:28,469 --> 02:17:32,110
I have a man that the propaganda wheel

3880
02:17:32,110 --> 02:17:35,889
is turning up again because it's just I

3881
02:17:35,889 --> 02:17:39,770
mean forget about Stargate, forget about a simple

3882
02:17:39,770 --> 02:17:44,110
blood test that Joe Ellison, formerly known as

3883
02:17:44,110 --> 02:17:48,629
Larry, will immediately result within 48 hours of

3884
02:17:48,629 --> 02:17:50,209
a personalized cancer vaccine.

3885
02:17:50,969 --> 02:17:52,530
Who needs any of that?

3886
02:17:52,610 --> 02:17:55,010
It's the only thing ozempic can't do.

3887
02:17:55,730 --> 02:17:59,690
Ozempic is it is the magical mystery drug.

3888
02:18:00,330 --> 02:18:01,730
Dr. Mike tell us all about it.

3889
02:18:01,910 --> 02:18:04,469
In medical news new research shows the diabetes

3890
02:18:04,469 --> 02:18:06,530
and weight loss drug ozempic could cut the

3891
02:18:06,530 --> 02:18:08,469
risk for kidney disease.

3892
02:18:08,690 --> 02:18:10,690
Fox Medical Team's Dr. Mike joins us live

3893
02:18:10,690 --> 02:18:12,090
now this morning with more on this.

3894
02:18:12,590 --> 02:18:14,530
Kidney disease John it's amazing.

3895
02:18:14,730 --> 02:18:16,770
Dr. Mike, second time of the day, how

3896
02:18:16,770 --> 02:18:17,950
did I get so lucky?

3897
02:18:18,629 --> 02:18:23,809
Almost every day, Danielle, Debra, Caroline, all of

3898
02:18:23,809 --> 02:18:24,889
you have to hear this.

3899
02:18:25,170 --> 02:18:29,209
Even in patients who have diabetes it's been

3900
02:18:29,209 --> 02:18:32,129
shown now to reduce the risk of kidney

3901
02:18:32,129 --> 02:18:35,629
failure and even heart problems and even death

3902
02:18:35,629 --> 02:18:36,809
by 24%.

3903
02:18:36,809 --> 02:18:40,150
So the data just keeps going and going

3904
02:18:40,150 --> 02:18:40,650
and going.

3905
02:18:40,930 --> 02:18:43,070
Recently there was a study looking at the

3906
02:18:43,070 --> 02:18:46,910
same drug for congestive heart failure, a significant

3907
02:18:46,910 --> 02:18:50,030
reduction in risk of stroke, heart attack, as

3908
02:18:50,030 --> 02:18:52,350
well as congestive heart failure symptoms.

3909
02:18:52,910 --> 02:18:54,610
So it's the real deal.

3910
02:18:54,809 --> 02:18:57,090
Now why is this effective?

3911
02:18:57,469 --> 02:18:59,469
Some people think it has to do with

3912
02:18:59,469 --> 02:19:00,530
inflammation.

3913
02:19:01,230 --> 02:19:02,790
That's what it's all about.

3914
02:19:03,450 --> 02:19:05,709
Inflammation, it reduces inflammation.

3915
02:19:05,990 --> 02:19:07,770
John it reduces inflammation.

3916
02:19:08,670 --> 02:19:09,590
That's what it's all about.

3917
02:19:10,650 --> 02:19:11,129
Inflammation.

3918
02:19:12,930 --> 02:19:14,110
They're going crazy.

3919
02:19:14,250 --> 02:19:17,950
They're letting any Yahoo doctor on, oh you

3920
02:19:17,950 --> 02:19:18,709
gotta get it.

3921
02:19:18,930 --> 02:19:20,770
Don't worry it's not for everybody.

3922
02:19:21,389 --> 02:19:22,690
I mean if you just want to lose

3923
02:19:22,690 --> 02:19:25,049
five pounds, you don't want it, but you

3924
02:19:25,049 --> 02:19:25,850
really do.

3925
02:19:26,270 --> 02:19:27,969
So Dr. Mike, you know we've been hearing

3926
02:19:27,969 --> 02:19:30,190
about you know now it can help cut

3927
02:19:30,190 --> 02:19:30,990
kidney disease.

3928
02:19:31,410 --> 02:19:33,990
You won't drink as much alcohol or maybe

3929
02:19:33,990 --> 02:19:35,090
you don't smoke as much.

3930
02:19:35,170 --> 02:19:35,889
You're losing weight.

3931
02:19:36,030 --> 02:19:37,870
I mean that seems like a lot of

3932
02:19:37,870 --> 02:19:39,670
benefit, but we know that there is you

3933
02:19:39,670 --> 02:19:41,570
know some negative to this as well.

3934
02:19:42,309 --> 02:19:44,410
So I mean but the benefits sound really

3935
02:19:44,410 --> 02:19:45,110
good though too.

3936
02:19:45,809 --> 02:19:49,630
Well yeah look there's always something that can

3937
02:19:49,630 --> 02:19:55,030
happen in terms of nausea, vomiting, bloating, constipation.

3938
02:19:55,170 --> 02:19:57,650
Some people just don't tolerate this and it's

3939
02:19:57,650 --> 02:19:58,370
not for everybody.

3940
02:19:58,550 --> 02:20:02,750
People with multiple endocrine neoplasia one syndrome, people

3941
02:20:02,750 --> 02:20:05,150
with a history of pancreatitis should not be

3942
02:20:05,150 --> 02:20:05,890
using this.

3943
02:20:06,210 --> 02:20:09,030
But the proof is in the pudding and

3944
02:20:09,030 --> 02:20:12,050
the amount of data coming out showing tremendous

3945
02:20:12,050 --> 02:20:15,390
benefit is really a game changer.

3946
02:20:15,450 --> 02:20:18,210
And so when it comes to either diabetes

3947
02:20:18,210 --> 02:20:22,630
or obesity, then it's a win-win situation.

3948
02:20:22,970 --> 02:20:24,830
By the way I'm not talking about people

3949
02:20:24,830 --> 02:20:26,570
that just want to lose five pounds.

3950
02:20:26,590 --> 02:20:30,390
I'm talking about people with real issues that

3951
02:20:30,390 --> 02:20:31,790
will benefit from this.

3952
02:20:31,790 --> 02:20:33,970
So I looked at this study because the

3953
02:20:33,970 --> 02:20:35,830
data just keeps on coming.

3954
02:20:35,910 --> 02:20:37,470
It's been around, this drug has been around

3955
02:20:37,470 --> 02:20:39,170
for 20 years, but it still just keeps

3956
02:20:39,170 --> 02:20:39,610
on coming.

3957
02:20:39,710 --> 02:20:40,230
We never knew.

3958
02:20:40,310 --> 02:20:40,890
It's amazing.

3959
02:20:42,230 --> 02:20:44,590
They will, the FDA says it will update

3960
02:20:44,590 --> 02:20:49,110
the label to apply for patients with chronic

3961
02:20:49,110 --> 02:20:50,330
kidney disease.

3962
02:20:51,610 --> 02:20:54,810
It may be, may be effective in treating

3963
02:20:54,810 --> 02:20:57,810
blood clotting, respiration, and infection.

3964
02:20:58,070 --> 02:21:01,210
All of this was unexpected as reported in

3965
02:21:01,210 --> 02:21:02,230
the Washington Post.

3966
02:21:03,210 --> 02:21:07,590
In addition, this study supports research that GLP

3967
02:21:07,590 --> 02:21:10,870
-1 drugs can improve mental health and reduce

3968
02:21:10,870 --> 02:21:12,050
the risk of suicide.

3969
02:21:12,750 --> 02:21:16,670
Yes, you won't need your your Prozac anymore.

3970
02:21:17,810 --> 02:21:18,990
This is, it's amazing.

3971
02:21:20,250 --> 02:21:22,350
It's just an amazing drug.

3972
02:21:22,990 --> 02:21:24,490
Well they still haven't got to the big

3973
02:21:24,490 --> 02:21:24,790
boy.

3974
02:21:24,950 --> 02:21:26,230
They're waiting for that one.

3975
02:21:26,590 --> 02:21:27,950
Yeah, it's in the book.

3976
02:21:28,110 --> 02:21:29,030
Yeah, it's in the book.

3977
02:21:29,550 --> 02:21:30,590
Erectile dysfunction.

3978
02:21:31,830 --> 02:21:33,610
We're waiting for the big boy.

3979
02:21:34,370 --> 02:21:37,570
Meanwhile across town we have, we have a

3980
02:21:37,570 --> 02:21:39,550
change, we have a change, we have a

3981
02:21:39,550 --> 02:21:39,950
change.

3982
02:21:40,790 --> 02:21:42,350
Bird flu, there's a change.

3983
02:21:43,390 --> 02:21:44,170
Here's the change.

3984
02:21:44,370 --> 02:21:46,670
Mass cull of poultry has been ordered after

3985
02:21:46,670 --> 02:21:48,410
an outbreak of bird flu on a farm

3986
02:21:48,410 --> 02:21:48,930
in Yorkshire.

3987
02:21:49,430 --> 02:21:52,210
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

3988
02:21:52,210 --> 02:21:55,110
says all poultry on the premises near Hornsey

3989
02:21:55,110 --> 02:21:57,430
in the East Riding will be humanely killed.

3990
02:21:57,930 --> 02:22:00,150
A protection zone of three kilometers has been

3991
02:22:00,150 --> 02:22:02,050
put in place around the site which hasn't

3992
02:22:02,050 --> 02:22:02,910
been identified.

3993
02:22:03,790 --> 02:22:06,490
Tests found the H5N5 strain of the highly

3994
02:22:06,490 --> 02:22:09,770
pathogenic avian influenza virus was present at that

3995
02:22:09,770 --> 02:22:10,430
Hornsey site.

3996
02:22:10,890 --> 02:22:12,510
It is the first case of the strain

3997
02:22:12,510 --> 02:22:14,610
found in poultry or captive birds in England

3998
02:22:14,610 --> 02:22:16,170
during the current outbreak.

3999
02:22:16,390 --> 02:22:18,850
Notice it's the H5N5.

4000
02:22:19,290 --> 02:22:20,150
Yeah, I noticed that.

4001
02:22:20,190 --> 02:22:21,970
Not H1N5.

4002
02:22:21,970 --> 02:22:23,770
No, it's H5N1.

4003
02:22:23,910 --> 02:22:25,250
Either way, it's not there.

4004
02:22:25,450 --> 02:22:28,150
And this is what really, now I know

4005
02:22:28,150 --> 02:22:31,150
something's up because they brought Rachel Maddow back.

4006
02:22:31,750 --> 02:22:36,690
They said, listen, look, you're getting 13 mil

4007
02:22:36,690 --> 02:22:37,190
a year.

4008
02:22:37,710 --> 02:22:39,990
You've got to do a show every night

4009
02:22:39,990 --> 02:22:41,190
of President Trump.

4010
02:22:41,610 --> 02:22:43,570
No, she's getting 25 million a year.

4011
02:22:44,190 --> 02:22:44,830
Listen.

4012
02:22:44,970 --> 02:22:45,990
Down from 30.

4013
02:22:47,010 --> 02:22:49,190
Listen, we know we cut you back to

4014
02:22:49,190 --> 02:22:50,810
25 million a year.

4015
02:22:52,410 --> 02:22:54,070
I know you want to be a podcaster

4016
02:22:54,070 --> 02:22:55,490
real bad because we know that's where the

4017
02:22:55,490 --> 02:22:56,910
money is, but we can only pay you

4018
02:22:56,910 --> 02:22:59,790
25 million a year and you have to

4019
02:22:59,790 --> 02:23:03,870
do one show a day during the first

4020
02:23:03,870 --> 02:23:09,290
100 days of President Trump's 2.0. And

4021
02:23:09,290 --> 02:23:10,530
this is what she does.

4022
02:23:10,750 --> 02:23:12,410
You know what else isn't a popular idea?

4023
02:23:13,270 --> 02:23:13,770
Bird flu.

4024
02:23:14,390 --> 02:23:14,870
Bird flu.

4025
02:23:15,310 --> 02:23:17,910
Today in Long Island, New York, a duck

4026
02:23:17,910 --> 02:23:20,390
farm that has been in operation since 1908

4027
02:23:20,390 --> 02:23:21,630
shut down.

4028
02:23:21,770 --> 02:23:23,330
They had to shut down to start the

4029
02:23:23,330 --> 02:23:27,650
process of euthanizing their entire flock of 100

4030
02:23:27,650 --> 02:23:28,750
,000 ducks.

4031
02:23:29,670 --> 02:23:31,790
Because at that farm in Long Island, New

4032
02:23:31,790 --> 02:23:33,930
York, they've got a confirmed outbreak of bird

4033
02:23:33,930 --> 02:23:34,170
flu.

4034
02:23:34,450 --> 02:23:36,030
Where do you think this report is going?

4035
02:23:37,470 --> 02:23:38,130
I don't know.

4036
02:23:38,370 --> 02:23:38,590
Okay.

4037
02:23:39,430 --> 02:23:39,790
Trump.

4038
02:23:40,050 --> 02:23:42,330
And bird flu has now killed more than

4039
02:23:42,330 --> 02:23:46,010
130 million birds in the United States in

4040
02:23:46,010 --> 02:23:46,890
all 50 states.

4041
02:23:46,950 --> 02:23:47,650
No, no, no, no, no.

4042
02:23:48,190 --> 02:23:51,010
The people have killed 130 million birds.

4043
02:23:51,490 --> 02:23:52,710
The bird flu didn't kill them.

4044
02:23:52,830 --> 02:23:53,730
The people killed them.

4045
02:23:53,870 --> 02:23:56,030
It's in 28 states.

4046
02:23:56,110 --> 02:23:58,670
They're now testing their dairy cows for it

4047
02:23:58,670 --> 02:23:59,250
as well.

4048
02:23:59,690 --> 02:24:02,770
Because it has jumped from birds to cows.

4049
02:24:03,430 --> 02:24:03,810
Raw milk.

4050
02:24:03,950 --> 02:24:04,210
Cows.

4051
02:24:04,510 --> 02:24:04,730
Yep.

4052
02:24:05,370 --> 02:24:07,670
Which means one of the risk factors they're

4053
02:24:07,670 --> 02:24:09,890
now alerting people to for this thing is

4054
02:24:09,890 --> 02:24:13,610
consumption of or contact with raw milk.

4055
02:24:14,550 --> 02:24:17,030
It's a risk factor now for bird flu.

4056
02:24:17,250 --> 02:24:17,750
Contact.

4057
02:24:17,970 --> 02:24:18,850
Contact with.

4058
02:24:18,890 --> 02:24:20,570
You can't even get it on your hand.

4059
02:24:20,570 --> 02:24:21,430
You can't even touch it.

4060
02:24:21,510 --> 02:24:22,130
Don't touch it.

4061
02:24:22,530 --> 02:24:24,550
Nearly 70 people in the United States have

4062
02:24:24,550 --> 02:24:26,310
been infected with bird flu thus far.

4063
02:24:26,690 --> 02:24:29,550
We've even had deaths of people's pet cats.

4064
02:24:29,970 --> 02:24:32,990
Because the cats have drunk raw milk meant

4065
02:24:32,990 --> 02:24:34,010
for human consumption.

4066
02:24:34,370 --> 02:24:36,810
The raw milk was from cows infected with

4067
02:24:36,810 --> 02:24:37,310
bird flu.

4068
02:24:37,530 --> 02:24:39,190
It gave the cats bird flu.

4069
02:24:39,230 --> 02:24:40,730
And then the cats died.

4070
02:24:41,950 --> 02:24:43,550
The cats died.

4071
02:24:43,690 --> 02:24:44,810
Say it's not so.

4072
02:24:45,190 --> 02:24:46,930
Well, can the CDC help?

4073
02:24:47,110 --> 02:24:49,630
The CDC just sent urgent guidance to American

4074
02:24:49,630 --> 02:24:50,290
hospitals.

4075
02:24:50,650 --> 02:24:51,310
Urgent guidance.

4076
02:24:51,550 --> 02:24:52,410
Urgent guidance.

4077
02:24:53,830 --> 02:24:56,190
Advising hospitals that when people appear at the

4078
02:24:56,190 --> 02:24:59,250
hospital with flu this flu season, people shouldn't

4079
02:24:59,250 --> 02:25:00,790
just be tested for normal flu.

4080
02:25:00,950 --> 02:25:02,470
They need to be tested for bird flu

4081
02:25:02,470 --> 02:25:02,970
as well.

4082
02:25:03,470 --> 02:25:03,570
Testing.

4083
02:25:03,930 --> 02:25:05,830
Because that needs to be handled differently.

4084
02:25:06,190 --> 02:25:08,370
And anybody who tests positive for bird flu

4085
02:25:08,370 --> 02:25:10,490
needs to be separated from other patients.

4086
02:25:10,770 --> 02:25:12,370
Hospital staff need to know about it in

4087
02:25:12,370 --> 02:25:15,010
order to wear appropriate protective clothing to protect

4088
02:25:15,010 --> 02:25:15,530
themselves.

4089
02:25:17,850 --> 02:25:20,830
You need PPE to be around raw milk

4090
02:25:20,830 --> 02:25:22,070
and bird flu.

4091
02:25:22,810 --> 02:25:25,630
I say the CDC just sent that urgent

4092
02:25:25,630 --> 02:25:27,210
advice to American hospitals.

4093
02:25:27,210 --> 02:25:29,930
But when I say they just sent it,

4094
02:25:30,430 --> 02:25:33,130
what I mean specifically is they sent that

4095
02:25:33,130 --> 02:25:36,830
advice last week while President Biden was still

4096
02:25:36,830 --> 02:25:37,250
president.

4097
02:25:37,770 --> 02:25:40,690
Because now that President Trump is president, he

4098
02:25:40,690 --> 02:25:43,830
has ordered that the CDC and all US

4099
02:25:43,830 --> 02:25:46,890
health agencies should no longer release any information

4100
02:25:46,890 --> 02:25:48,550
to anyone on anything.

4101
02:25:48,950 --> 02:25:50,090
This is the new one, you see.

4102
02:25:50,330 --> 02:25:52,210
This is how they're gonna try and do

4103
02:25:52,210 --> 02:25:56,390
bird flu or whatever by saying Trump wouldn't

4104
02:25:56,390 --> 02:25:58,410
let the CDC report anything.

4105
02:25:58,830 --> 02:25:59,450
We don't know.

4106
02:25:59,570 --> 02:26:00,370
We're in the dark.

4107
02:26:00,490 --> 02:26:03,710
We could be under extreme threat from H5N5

4108
02:26:03,710 --> 02:26:04,690
and raw milk.

4109
02:26:05,350 --> 02:26:07,690
Not just to the public, but to scientists

4110
02:26:07,690 --> 02:26:09,450
and doctors and hospitals.

4111
02:26:10,490 --> 02:26:13,790
And that includes the CDC's flagship health alert

4112
02:26:13,790 --> 02:26:17,490
publication for doctors and scientists called MMWR, Morbidity

4113
02:26:17,490 --> 02:26:18,810
and Mortality Weekly Report.

4114
02:26:19,190 --> 02:26:22,090
This week, CDC was scheduled to publish several

4115
02:26:22,090 --> 02:26:26,650
MMWR reports, including three about this burgeoning bird

4116
02:26:26,650 --> 02:26:29,970
flu outbreak that is happening and rapidly progressing

4117
02:26:29,970 --> 02:26:30,970
right now.

4118
02:26:31,490 --> 02:26:33,150
Oh my god, so you were kind of

4119
02:26:33,150 --> 02:26:34,190
right in both cases.

4120
02:26:34,190 --> 02:26:36,750
It's about raw milk and about Trump.

4121
02:26:36,850 --> 02:26:37,530
It's a twofer.

4122
02:26:37,630 --> 02:26:40,530
Meanwhile, Trump's nominee to run Health and Human

4123
02:26:40,530 --> 02:26:44,450
Services for the US government reportedly approached one

4124
02:26:44,450 --> 02:26:48,230
of the nation's largest raw milk producers, asking

4125
02:26:48,230 --> 02:26:50,590
him to please become an advisor to the

4126
02:26:50,590 --> 02:26:51,690
FDA in Washington.

4127
02:26:52,050 --> 02:26:53,390
This is a man whose company has been

4128
02:26:53,390 --> 02:26:55,570
the subject of at least 11 different lawsuits

4129
02:26:55,570 --> 02:26:58,550
stemming from contamination of his raw milk products.

4130
02:26:58,910 --> 02:27:00,550
This farmer has also been the subject of

4131
02:27:00,550 --> 02:27:03,290
13 recalls, including for E.

4132
02:27:03,290 --> 02:27:07,510
coli and listeria and campylobacter and salmonella and,

4133
02:27:07,850 --> 02:27:10,010
yes, bird flu in his raw milk.

4134
02:27:10,630 --> 02:27:13,490
His products are currently barred from sale in

4135
02:27:13,490 --> 02:27:15,530
California for making so many people sick.

4136
02:27:15,890 --> 02:27:18,090
One salmonella outbreak his company is being sued

4137
02:27:18,090 --> 02:27:20,090
for resulted in a hundred and seventy-one

4138
02:27:20,090 --> 02:27:22,570
people being sickened, including some people who got

4139
02:27:22,570 --> 02:27:23,350
kidney failure.

4140
02:27:23,950 --> 02:27:26,610
Oh my goodness, well, or as I would

4141
02:27:26,610 --> 02:27:29,610
say, goodness gracious, here is the final one.

4142
02:27:29,690 --> 02:27:31,310
This is an epidemic where the CDC...

4143
02:27:31,310 --> 02:27:31,410
Wait, stop.

4144
02:27:32,530 --> 02:27:35,350
Why didn't she name this guy or the

4145
02:27:35,350 --> 02:27:35,750
company?

4146
02:27:36,050 --> 02:27:38,310
It's McAfee Farms, but she didn't...

4147
02:27:38,310 --> 02:27:40,090
I don't know why she didn't name him,

4148
02:27:41,070 --> 02:27:43,410
but that's who it is, McAfee Farms.

4149
02:27:44,290 --> 02:27:45,010
Here's the kicker.

4150
02:27:45,190 --> 02:27:46,790
This is an epidemic where the CDC is

4151
02:27:46,790 --> 02:27:49,430
advising hospitals how to deal with people coming

4152
02:27:49,430 --> 02:27:51,490
in with flu, making sure they're tested for

4153
02:27:51,490 --> 02:27:54,130
it, telling hospitals how they can protect patients

4154
02:27:54,130 --> 02:27:55,590
and protect their own health workers.

4155
02:27:56,190 --> 02:27:59,070
The CDC is warning that raw milk from

4156
02:27:59,070 --> 02:28:02,170
an infected cow, not only just drinking it,

4157
02:28:02,210 --> 02:28:04,830
but potentially even just being splashed in the

4158
02:28:04,830 --> 02:28:05,630
face with it.

4159
02:28:05,910 --> 02:28:06,050
Yes.

4160
02:28:07,450 --> 02:28:09,990
Contact with raw milk from an infected cow

4161
02:28:09,990 --> 02:28:11,210
is one of the ways people can be

4162
02:28:11,210 --> 02:28:15,250
exposed to this emerging epidemic of bird flu.

4163
02:28:15,430 --> 02:28:17,190
And while that is how the last administration

4164
02:28:17,190 --> 02:28:18,950
was trying to get their arms around this

4165
02:28:18,950 --> 02:28:21,050
emerging threat as recently as the end of

4166
02:28:21,050 --> 02:28:23,570
last week, this new administration this week says,

4167
02:28:23,690 --> 02:28:25,730
first of all, let's get the raw milk

4168
02:28:25,730 --> 02:28:28,670
people here to Washington to advise the FDA,

4169
02:28:28,930 --> 02:28:30,810
presumably on all the benefits of raw milk,

4170
02:28:30,990 --> 02:28:33,570
and in the meantime stop releasing any information

4171
02:28:33,570 --> 02:28:35,230
on this bird flu thing, anything.

4172
02:28:35,510 --> 02:28:36,650
Honestly, it sounds scary.

4173
02:28:37,450 --> 02:28:37,550
Scary.

4174
02:28:37,650 --> 02:28:39,110
Maybe if we don't talk about it, maybe

4175
02:28:39,110 --> 02:28:39,790
it'll go away.

4176
02:28:40,850 --> 02:28:42,550
And by the way, pay no attention to

4177
02:28:42,550 --> 02:28:43,590
the price of eggs.

4178
02:28:46,490 --> 02:28:48,330
We're all paying attention to the price of

4179
02:28:48,330 --> 02:28:48,690
eggs.

4180
02:28:49,610 --> 02:28:50,530
So that's it.

4181
02:28:50,630 --> 02:28:54,610
So stretching so far now that that's all

4182
02:28:54,610 --> 02:28:55,150
they got.

4183
02:28:58,210 --> 02:28:59,630
Well, they got something.

4184
02:28:59,790 --> 02:29:00,490
They got something.

4185
02:29:00,690 --> 02:29:01,550
They do have something.

4186
02:29:01,830 --> 02:29:03,650
But man, oh, man, oh, man.

4187
02:29:04,070 --> 02:29:06,050
I think that relates to this clip, which

4188
02:29:06,050 --> 02:29:09,150
is the born age stoppage.

4189
02:29:10,310 --> 02:29:10,910
Oh, yes.

4190
02:29:11,110 --> 02:29:11,870
Yeah, there's a lot.

4191
02:29:12,030 --> 02:29:12,310
Oh, yeah.

4192
02:29:12,470 --> 02:29:14,230
There's another Al Jazeera report.

4193
02:29:14,390 --> 02:29:16,590
The day he was inaugurated, President Donald Trump

4194
02:29:16,590 --> 02:29:19,830
signed an executive order basically saying a pause

4195
02:29:19,830 --> 02:29:21,450
needed to happen for 90 days when it

4196
02:29:21,450 --> 02:29:22,810
comes to U.S. foreign assistance.

4197
02:29:23,090 --> 02:29:25,530
Now, it's not unusual for presidents and their

4198
02:29:25,530 --> 02:29:27,790
incoming teams to pause future contracts.

4199
02:29:27,870 --> 02:29:29,610
But we now know that is not what

4200
02:29:29,610 --> 02:29:30,530
is happening here.

4201
02:29:31,010 --> 02:29:33,550
The secretary of state, Marco Rubio, signed a

4202
02:29:33,550 --> 02:29:37,590
memorandum basically pausing all U.S. foreign assistance

4203
02:29:37,590 --> 02:29:39,310
spending as of right now.

4204
02:29:39,390 --> 02:29:40,870
So in the middle of the night, local

4205
02:29:40,870 --> 02:29:43,630
time, all of these people and companies and

4206
02:29:43,630 --> 02:29:47,550
contractors started getting memos basically saying stop work

4207
02:29:47,550 --> 02:29:48,010
notice.

4208
02:29:48,490 --> 02:29:51,050
So what exactly does that mean?

4209
02:29:51,130 --> 02:29:53,350
Except for aid to Israel and Egypt and

4210
02:29:53,350 --> 02:29:56,230
immediate food assistance, it means all U.S.

4211
02:29:56,370 --> 02:29:58,630
foreign assistance is going to be paused.

4212
02:29:59,110 --> 02:29:59,930
What does that do?

4213
02:30:00,050 --> 02:30:02,730
That's about 68 billion dollars in 2023.

4214
02:30:03,570 --> 02:30:06,370
It went to things like building democracy, peace

4215
02:30:06,370 --> 02:30:11,050
forces and security, building schools, building hospitals, mind

4216
02:30:11,050 --> 02:30:13,490
clearing, a program that gives aids to people

4217
02:30:13,490 --> 02:30:14,490
with HIV.

4218
02:30:15,290 --> 02:30:15,950
That's going to.

4219
02:30:16,050 --> 02:30:19,010
Did she say a program that gives aids

4220
02:30:19,010 --> 02:30:20,250
to people with HIV?

4221
02:30:20,910 --> 02:30:22,510
That's what it sounded like.

4222
02:30:22,510 --> 02:30:23,530
Let me hear that again.

4223
02:30:23,850 --> 02:30:28,370
Forces and security, building schools, building hospitals, mind

4224
02:30:28,370 --> 02:30:30,830
clearing, a program that gives aids to people

4225
02:30:30,830 --> 02:30:31,830
with HIV.

4226
02:30:32,910 --> 02:30:33,430
Wow.

4227
02:30:33,650 --> 02:30:33,870
Yeah.

4228
02:30:33,990 --> 02:30:36,470
She said a program should be stopped.

4229
02:30:36,650 --> 02:30:37,310
I agree.

4230
02:30:37,450 --> 02:30:39,470
Do not give aids to people with HIV.

4231
02:30:39,690 --> 02:30:40,330
That's not good.

4232
02:30:40,630 --> 02:30:45,010
Building schools, building hospitals, mind clearing, a program

4233
02:30:45,010 --> 02:30:47,090
that gives aids to people with HIV.

4234
02:30:47,690 --> 02:30:49,330
That's going to be paused.

4235
02:30:49,390 --> 02:30:51,310
So it is going to have a very

4236
02:30:51,310 --> 02:30:54,090
large impact on the community here that does

4237
02:30:54,090 --> 02:30:54,990
this sort of work.

4238
02:30:55,370 --> 02:30:57,650
But really across the globe, people are going

4239
02:30:57,650 --> 02:30:59,930
to see this impact immediately.

4240
02:31:00,150 --> 02:31:03,590
For example, if your town has a school

4241
02:31:03,590 --> 02:31:06,830
being built with U.S. foreign assistance, that

4242
02:31:06,830 --> 02:31:09,290
construction is supposed to stop immediately.

4243
02:31:09,550 --> 02:31:12,290
This is very interesting as an American, as

4244
02:31:12,290 --> 02:31:13,190
an American citizen.

4245
02:31:13,610 --> 02:31:16,670
I think it's I think I presume he's

4246
02:31:16,670 --> 02:31:20,070
doing this to take stock of what we're

4247
02:31:20,070 --> 02:31:22,270
actually giving to whom and where.

4248
02:31:22,450 --> 02:31:24,370
I know there's, you know, there's been all

4249
02:31:24,370 --> 02:31:26,150
kinds of and a lot of this is

4250
02:31:26,150 --> 02:31:27,050
through NGOs.

4251
02:31:27,690 --> 02:31:28,050
Exactly.

4252
02:31:28,290 --> 02:31:31,130
All the NGOs where they're the cutouts.

4253
02:31:31,490 --> 02:31:31,590
Sucking us dry.

4254
02:31:31,990 --> 02:31:32,330
Yes.

4255
02:31:32,390 --> 02:31:34,030
And I think it's a lot of money.

4256
02:31:34,230 --> 02:31:36,630
And so maybe we'll get a little appreciation

4257
02:31:36,630 --> 02:31:38,550
of what we've been doing for other people

4258
02:31:38,550 --> 02:31:40,210
without helping ourselves.

4259
02:31:40,450 --> 02:31:42,070
I know I can just hear the Europeans

4260
02:31:42,070 --> 02:31:44,510
going, you only care about yourself, stupid jack.

4261
02:31:45,550 --> 02:31:47,610
I have an NPR report on this if

4262
02:31:47,610 --> 02:31:48,630
you're interested.

4263
02:31:48,810 --> 02:31:49,290
For sure.

4264
02:31:49,710 --> 02:31:50,810
I don't know if it's that guy.

4265
02:31:51,190 --> 02:31:54,670
An internal memo obtained by NPR calls for

4266
02:31:54,670 --> 02:31:58,270
U.S. humanitarian and development programs to stop

4267
02:31:58,270 --> 02:31:58,870
their work.

4268
02:31:59,070 --> 02:32:01,670
And blocks virtually all new foreign assistance.

4269
02:32:01,930 --> 02:32:02,690
Yes, there is.

4270
02:32:02,910 --> 02:32:05,750
The directive expands on an executive order that

4271
02:32:05,750 --> 02:32:07,750
President Trump issued earlier in the week.

4272
02:32:08,130 --> 02:32:10,750
NPR Global Health Correspondent Fatma Tanis joins us

4273
02:32:10,750 --> 02:32:11,070
now.

4274
02:32:11,170 --> 02:32:12,590
Fatma, thanks for being with us.

4275
02:32:12,790 --> 02:32:13,650
Thanks for having me, Scott.

4276
02:32:13,810 --> 02:32:15,190
And please tell us about this memo.

4277
02:32:15,310 --> 02:32:17,530
So it was signed by Secretary of State

4278
02:32:17,530 --> 02:32:19,610
Marco Rubio and it says that U.S.

4279
02:32:19,710 --> 02:32:22,770
foreign assistance will be frozen while a comprehensive

4280
02:32:22,770 --> 02:32:26,270
review of all programs can be undertaken to

4281
02:32:26,270 --> 02:32:29,750
quote ensure that all foreign assistance is aligned

4282
02:32:29,750 --> 02:32:31,790
with President Trump's foreign policy agenda.

4283
02:32:32,310 --> 02:32:33,830
Now the memo says the review will be

4284
02:32:33,830 --> 02:32:37,010
completed within 85 days and that means for

4285
02:32:37,010 --> 02:32:38,910
nearly three months there's going to be no

4286
02:32:38,910 --> 02:32:42,150
new funding for any foreign assistance and programs

4287
02:32:42,150 --> 02:32:44,330
that have already been approved for funding will

4288
02:32:44,330 --> 02:32:45,450
have to stop work.

4289
02:32:45,970 --> 02:32:48,670
There are some exemptions such as foreign military

4290
02:32:48,670 --> 02:32:52,170
financing for Israel and Egypt and also emergency

4291
02:32:52,170 --> 02:32:52,730
food aid.

4292
02:32:53,030 --> 02:32:54,290
Okay, you want to hear more?

4293
02:32:54,410 --> 02:32:56,370
Do we hear more from NPR?

4294
02:32:57,370 --> 02:32:59,310
Let's play that out and they have a

4295
02:32:59,310 --> 02:33:00,030
follow-up clip.

4296
02:33:00,870 --> 02:33:01,390
NBX.

4297
02:33:01,630 --> 02:33:03,110
What kind of programs are likely to be

4298
02:33:03,110 --> 02:33:03,450
affected?

4299
02:33:03,890 --> 02:33:06,810
It's everything from the building of roads to

4300
02:33:06,810 --> 02:33:09,790
vaccination programs and there are also aid efforts

4301
02:33:09,790 --> 02:33:11,590
in sensitive conflict zones.

4302
02:33:11,590 --> 02:33:15,450
These are often logistically complicated programs so once

4303
02:33:15,450 --> 02:33:17,630
you pause them it's hard to get things

4304
02:33:17,630 --> 02:33:20,070
running back up again immediately and you know

4305
02:33:20,070 --> 02:33:21,830
Scott we're talking about a lot of investment

4306
02:33:21,830 --> 02:33:25,250
about around 60 billion dollars worth that's how

4307
02:33:25,250 --> 02:33:27,270
much the U.S. provides in foreign assistance

4308
02:33:27,270 --> 02:33:30,750
annually and it's the biggest financial supporter of

4309
02:33:30,750 --> 02:33:32,570
development aid in the world so this is

4310
02:33:32,570 --> 02:33:34,470
going to have a huge impact across the

4311
02:33:34,470 --> 02:33:34,770
board.

4312
02:33:35,010 --> 02:33:37,570
And there's a lot that's still unclear there

4313
02:33:37,570 --> 02:33:39,130
are questions about how this is going to

4314
02:33:39,130 --> 02:33:41,590
affect you know aid to Ukraine and Taiwan

4315
02:33:41,590 --> 02:33:44,430
for example also critical global health programs like

4316
02:33:44,430 --> 02:33:47,210
PEPFAR that's the U.S. effort to combat

4317
02:33:47,210 --> 02:33:49,630
HIV around the world and it's credited with

4318
02:33:49,630 --> 02:33:51,750
having saved 25 million lives.

4319
02:33:51,990 --> 02:33:53,630
By giving aids to people with HIV.

4320
02:33:53,930 --> 02:33:55,870
What might happen to people who work for

4321
02:33:55,870 --> 02:33:56,530
these programs?

4322
02:33:57,230 --> 02:34:00,230
So until this review is over these U

4323
02:34:00,230 --> 02:34:02,090
.S. funded programs are likely going to have

4324
02:34:02,090 --> 02:34:04,950
to cease operations even furlough or lay off

4325
02:34:04,950 --> 02:34:05,610
their staff.

4326
02:34:06,190 --> 02:34:09,950
Employees of USAID the agency primarily responsible for

4327
02:34:09,950 --> 02:34:13,330
administering humanitarian and development aid will be keeping

4328
02:34:13,330 --> 02:34:15,470
their jobs for now but I should also

4329
02:34:15,470 --> 02:34:17,910
note that many of the organizations that partner

4330
02:34:17,910 --> 02:34:20,450
with the U.S. on foreign assistance are

4331
02:34:20,450 --> 02:34:22,410
based in the U.S. and they employ

4332
02:34:22,410 --> 02:34:25,510
people here and overseas so this is going

4333
02:34:25,510 --> 02:34:27,870
to impact overseas staff in the short term

4334
02:34:27,870 --> 02:34:30,590
but it will also lead to layoffs in

4335
02:34:30,590 --> 02:34:31,910
the U.S. if it continues.

4336
02:34:32,230 --> 02:34:33,990
Yeah okay that's a third clip but what

4337
02:34:33,990 --> 02:34:35,170
do you want to play as a follow

4338
02:34:35,170 --> 02:34:35,430
-up?

4339
02:34:35,470 --> 02:34:36,830
I'll play the third clip now play mine

4340
02:34:36,830 --> 02:34:38,670
which is about the pulling the money from

4341
02:34:38,670 --> 02:34:39,310
the WHO.

4342
02:34:39,790 --> 02:34:41,770
Oh okay what kind of reaction from aid

4343
02:34:41,770 --> 02:34:42,210
groups?

4344
02:34:43,190 --> 02:34:45,330
People are shocked and really worried.

4345
02:34:45,850 --> 02:34:48,170
A senior official at USAID told me that

4346
02:34:48,170 --> 02:34:51,070
quote the work stop order is completely reckless

4347
02:34:51,070 --> 02:34:53,850
and disruptive and said it was draconian.

4348
02:34:54,250 --> 02:34:56,210
The official asked for anonymity because they were

4349
02:34:56,210 --> 02:34:58,290
not authorized to speak on behalf of the

4350
02:34:58,290 --> 02:34:58,830
agency.

4351
02:34:59,450 --> 02:35:00,870
I also spoke to the leader of an

4352
02:35:00,870 --> 02:35:04,710
organization that partners with USAID they offer humanitarian

4353
02:35:04,710 --> 02:35:07,150
assistance and that person told me the administration

4354
02:35:07,150 --> 02:35:10,170
has quote thrown a grenade right into the

4355
02:35:10,170 --> 02:35:11,450
middle of foreign assistance.

4356
02:35:11,890 --> 02:35:13,970
This person also spoke on the condition of

4357
02:35:13,970 --> 02:35:18,310
anonymity fearing retribution against their organization for speaking

4358
02:35:18,310 --> 02:35:18,790
out.

4359
02:35:19,210 --> 02:35:20,610
They said that they would have to pull

4360
02:35:20,610 --> 02:35:23,470
out their staff who are providing critical services

4361
02:35:23,470 --> 02:35:25,590
in the field and also lay off U

4362
02:35:25,590 --> 02:35:26,210
.S. staff.

4363
02:35:26,350 --> 02:35:28,530
The person said that quote we can't afford

4364
02:35:28,530 --> 02:35:30,890
to keep funding our programs because we don't

4365
02:35:30,890 --> 02:35:33,370
know if we will be reimbursed per our

4366
02:35:33,370 --> 02:35:35,190
contracts with U.S. agencies.

4367
02:35:35,750 --> 02:35:37,950
Now aid experts are also warning that this

4368
02:35:37,950 --> 02:35:40,490
move could have a destabilizing effect in countries

4369
02:35:40,490 --> 02:35:42,270
where humanitarian aid is critical.

4370
02:35:42,870 --> 02:35:45,210
I spoke to Abby Maxman she's the president

4371
02:35:45,210 --> 02:35:47,630
of Oxfam America it's a charity that does

4372
02:35:47,630 --> 02:35:49,870
not take funding from the US government and

4373
02:35:49,870 --> 02:35:50,670
here's what she said.

4374
02:35:50,750 --> 02:35:52,770
No they just steal it and lose it.

4375
02:35:52,810 --> 02:35:55,870
It's having seismic impacts for the entire global

4376
02:35:55,870 --> 02:35:56,670
aid system.

4377
02:35:58,730 --> 02:36:00,870
Everything's about the aid system I don't know

4378
02:36:00,870 --> 02:36:02,210
there's something about AIDS here.

4379
02:36:02,370 --> 02:36:05,590
It's having seismic impacts for the entire global

4380
02:36:05,590 --> 02:36:08,750
aid system and really frankly it's a cruel

4381
02:36:08,750 --> 02:36:11,210
decision that has life-or-death consequences for

4382
02:36:11,210 --> 02:36:12,690
millions of people around the world.

4383
02:36:13,350 --> 02:36:15,530
She's called on the Trump administration to reverse

4384
02:36:15,530 --> 02:36:17,250
the move before it's too late.

4385
02:36:17,550 --> 02:36:19,290
I bet it's a lot more than 60

4386
02:36:19,290 --> 02:36:22,030
billion I bet it's just an enormous amount

4387
02:36:23,410 --> 02:36:26,430
maybe 60 million a billion a month.

4388
02:36:27,190 --> 02:36:28,070
It's a lot.

4389
02:36:28,270 --> 02:36:31,190
Those NGOs this crazy that's all the refugee

4390
02:36:31,190 --> 02:36:34,190
resettlement program in Austin alone is 1 billion

4391
02:36:34,190 --> 02:36:34,710
a year.

4392
02:36:36,650 --> 02:36:38,710
These guys are just stealing our money.

4393
02:36:39,090 --> 02:36:39,190
Yes.

4394
02:36:40,250 --> 02:36:41,650
All right WHO.

4395
02:36:42,290 --> 02:36:45,330
There's another money waster I didn't realize I

4396
02:36:45,330 --> 02:36:46,910
was under the impression that well maybe there's

4397
02:36:46,910 --> 02:36:48,490
some sharing going on but I guess the

4398
02:36:48,490 --> 02:36:49,970
WHO is gonna go under.

4399
02:36:52,170 --> 02:36:56,030
The World Health Organization says it is reviewing

4400
02:36:56,030 --> 02:36:59,650
its priorities to cut costs following US President

4401
02:36:59,650 --> 02:37:02,730
Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the body.

4402
02:37:03,070 --> 02:37:05,310
The United States is the largest donor to

4403
02:37:05,310 --> 02:37:08,650
the WHO but shortly after his inauguration on

4404
02:37:08,650 --> 02:37:12,130
Monday Trump signed an executive order stating his

4405
02:37:12,130 --> 02:37:13,330
country's withdrawal.

4406
02:37:13,630 --> 02:37:17,830
The AFP news agency reports WHO Director General

4407
02:37:17,830 --> 02:37:21,950
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus sent an email to its

4408
02:37:21,950 --> 02:37:23,070
employees on Thursday.

4409
02:37:23,490 --> 02:37:25,890
In it he said the US decision has

4410
02:37:25,890 --> 02:37:29,190
made the organization's financial situation more acute.

4411
02:37:29,590 --> 02:37:32,290
He said they are now reviewing which activities

4412
02:37:32,290 --> 02:37:36,030
to prioritize with a reduced resource envelope.

4413
02:37:36,430 --> 02:37:38,550
He went on to say that recruitment will

4414
02:37:38,550 --> 02:37:41,550
be frozen except in the most critical areas

4415
02:37:41,550 --> 02:37:44,870
and that travel expenses will be dramatically cut

4416
02:37:44,870 --> 02:37:45,330
back.

4417
02:37:45,650 --> 02:37:47,350
Oh there goes my sweet.

4418
02:37:47,590 --> 02:37:52,930
WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier described the US decision

4419
02:37:52,930 --> 02:37:55,130
as a concern for global health.

4420
02:37:55,130 --> 02:37:59,190
He noted the WHO both provides critical information

4421
02:37:59,190 --> 02:38:02,430
to the US and receives information from it

4422
02:38:02,430 --> 02:38:05,370
so as to have the best possible response

4423
02:38:05,370 --> 02:38:07,230
in case of outbreaks.

4424
02:38:08,330 --> 02:38:12,010
Another issue for Rachel to pick up on.

4425
02:38:12,110 --> 02:38:12,650
Oh she will.

4426
02:38:13,770 --> 02:38:13,870
Yeah.

4427
02:38:15,330 --> 02:38:19,070
Some war news now, war news.

4428
02:38:20,650 --> 02:38:21,690
President Trump.

4429
02:38:21,990 --> 02:38:23,090
I got war news too.

4430
02:38:23,090 --> 02:38:24,510
Well let me start with my war news.

4431
02:38:24,670 --> 02:38:26,010
My war news may be better than your

4432
02:38:26,010 --> 02:38:26,470
war news.

4433
02:38:26,650 --> 02:38:28,950
I mean I've got good war news.

4434
02:38:29,070 --> 02:38:31,370
Donald Trump has always insisted there would have

4435
02:38:31,370 --> 02:38:33,190
been no war in Ukraine if he had

4436
02:38:33,190 --> 02:38:34,470
been president at the time.

4437
02:38:35,070 --> 02:38:38,090
On Friday Vladimir Putin backs him up also

4438
02:38:38,090 --> 02:38:41,130
taking the opportunity to repeat Trump's false claim

4439
02:38:41,130 --> 02:38:43,370
that he won the 2020 election.

4440
02:38:43,610 --> 02:38:44,310
It's a claim.

4441
02:38:44,510 --> 02:38:45,270
It's just a claim.

4442
02:38:45,490 --> 02:38:46,490
It's not a false claim.

4443
02:38:46,610 --> 02:38:47,110
It's a claim.

4444
02:38:47,390 --> 02:38:49,710
But Putin backs up his false claim.

4445
02:38:49,950 --> 02:38:51,910
I must agree with him that if he

4446
02:38:51,910 --> 02:38:54,290
had been president, if his victory hadn't been

4447
02:38:54,290 --> 02:38:56,630
stolen in 2020, then maybe there would not

4448
02:38:56,630 --> 02:38:58,390
have been a crisis in Ukraine that emerged

4449
02:38:58,390 --> 02:38:59,150
in 2022.

4450
02:38:59,750 --> 02:39:02,090
Putin said he was ready for talks with

4451
02:39:02,090 --> 02:39:03,070
the new US president.

4452
02:39:03,790 --> 02:39:06,490
This has got to gall everybody and these

4453
02:39:06,490 --> 02:39:08,750
reporters must be beside themselves because this is

4454
02:39:08,750 --> 02:39:10,390
what Trump's been saying all along.

4455
02:39:10,530 --> 02:39:11,410
Yeah yeah whatever.

4456
02:39:11,950 --> 02:39:13,730
And so now Putin comes out and says

4457
02:39:13,730 --> 02:39:13,930
it?

4458
02:39:14,090 --> 02:39:14,830
Oh brother.

4459
02:39:14,930 --> 02:39:16,590
Well even better he says if it hadn't

4460
02:39:16,590 --> 02:39:18,930
been stolen then the war would never happen.

4461
02:39:18,950 --> 02:39:21,310
If you guys hadn't stolen that election.

4462
02:39:21,590 --> 02:39:23,270
If his victory hadn't been stolen in 2020,

4463
02:39:23,770 --> 02:39:25,130
then maybe there would not have been a

4464
02:39:25,130 --> 02:39:27,250
crisis in Ukraine that emerged in 2022.

4465
02:39:27,550 --> 02:39:29,530
I mean Putin loves trolling as well.

4466
02:39:29,630 --> 02:39:30,210
He's good.

4467
02:39:30,390 --> 02:39:32,870
Putin said he was ready for talks with

4468
02:39:32,870 --> 02:39:35,230
the new US president on ending the fighting

4469
02:39:35,230 --> 02:39:37,590
but was waiting for signals from Washington.

4470
02:39:38,190 --> 02:39:41,150
This despite Trump saying even before his inauguration

4471
02:39:41,150 --> 02:39:43,030
that he had been working on setting up

4472
02:39:43,030 --> 02:39:43,510
a meeting.

4473
02:39:44,050 --> 02:39:46,390
Trump has upped his rhetoric this week saying

4474
02:39:46,390 --> 02:39:48,710
he would put pressure on Moscow by lowering

4475
02:39:48,710 --> 02:39:51,910
global oil prices and he threatened new sanctions

4476
02:39:51,910 --> 02:39:54,110
and tariffs on Russia if the war didn't

4477
02:39:54,110 --> 02:39:54,510
stop.

4478
02:39:55,050 --> 02:39:57,030
But Putin dismissed this possibility.

4479
02:39:57,590 --> 02:39:59,770
He is not only a smart person, he

4480
02:39:59,770 --> 02:40:02,330
is a pragmatic person and I can hardly

4481
02:40:02,330 --> 02:40:04,870
imagine the decisions will be made that harm

4482
02:40:04,870 --> 02:40:06,170
the American economy itself.

4483
02:40:06,490 --> 02:40:10,310
For Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky, Putin's latest statements

4484
02:40:10,310 --> 02:40:12,910
are a naked attempt to flatter Trump.

4485
02:40:12,910 --> 02:40:16,050
Specifically, he is trying to manipulate the US

4486
02:40:16,050 --> 02:40:17,950
president's desire to achieve peace.

4487
02:40:18,430 --> 02:40:21,530
I am confident that no Russian manipulations will

4488
02:40:21,530 --> 02:40:22,570
succeed any longer.

4489
02:40:22,630 --> 02:40:23,030
What?

4490
02:40:23,390 --> 02:40:24,970
This is a huge blunder.

4491
02:40:25,730 --> 02:40:26,410
Yeah.

4492
02:40:26,870 --> 02:40:29,930
Yeah, you can't say that well Trump is

4493
02:40:29,930 --> 02:40:32,890
a dumb shit because he's gonna get manipulated

4494
02:40:32,890 --> 02:40:35,030
by Putin and expect him to give you

4495
02:40:35,030 --> 02:40:35,390
money.

4496
02:40:36,990 --> 02:40:39,050
This was a huge blunder.

4497
02:40:40,090 --> 02:40:43,230
I am confident that no Russian manipulations will

4498
02:40:43,230 --> 02:40:44,330
succeed any longer.

4499
02:40:44,910 --> 02:40:47,770
Kiev has warned against any Putin-Trump peace

4500
02:40:47,770 --> 02:40:51,250
talks that exclude Ukraine and European allies but

4501
02:40:51,250 --> 02:40:53,270
the Russian president says there can be no

4502
02:40:53,270 --> 02:40:56,310
serious talks with Ukraine unless the West pushes

4503
02:40:56,310 --> 02:41:00,110
Zelensky to cancel a 2022 decree that prohibits

4504
02:41:00,110 --> 02:41:02,270
him from negotiating with the Russian leader.

4505
02:41:02,510 --> 02:41:03,730
No, don't worry about that.

4506
02:41:04,110 --> 02:41:05,810
All right, I have more war news but

4507
02:41:05,810 --> 02:41:07,590
your war news is up next.

4508
02:41:07,950 --> 02:41:10,230
I got some offbeat war news.

4509
02:41:10,390 --> 02:41:12,610
It's like because it's not being reported.

4510
02:41:12,810 --> 02:41:14,650
You know anything about the Syria returning home

4511
02:41:14,650 --> 02:41:15,110
story?

4512
02:41:16,610 --> 02:41:17,630
Probably not.

4513
02:41:17,630 --> 02:41:17,970
No, you don't.

4514
02:41:18,230 --> 02:41:20,090
You have to go to Al Jazeera.

4515
02:41:20,190 --> 02:41:22,110
The head of the UN's refugee agency says

4516
02:41:22,110 --> 02:41:23,810
there's been a huge increase in the number

4517
02:41:23,810 --> 02:41:25,690
of Syrians who want to return home.

4518
02:41:26,190 --> 02:41:28,550
Almost 30% of the Syrian refugees living

4519
02:41:28,550 --> 02:41:31,010
in Middle Eastern countries now say they want

4520
02:41:31,010 --> 02:41:31,670
to go back.

4521
02:41:31,790 --> 02:41:33,930
That's up from almost none last year.

4522
02:41:34,470 --> 02:41:36,530
The shift follows the ousting of President Bashar

4523
02:41:36,530 --> 02:41:37,770
al-Assad in December.

4524
02:41:38,230 --> 02:41:39,490
Oh, that's good.

4525
02:41:40,370 --> 02:41:42,370
That's like 200,000 people.

4526
02:41:42,830 --> 02:41:48,170
Meanwhile, President Trump is seemingly threatening to drop

4527
02:41:48,170 --> 02:41:48,870
the bomb.

4528
02:41:49,090 --> 02:41:50,730
President Trump says he would like to see

4529
02:41:50,730 --> 02:41:53,530
Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab nations increase the

4530
02:41:53,530 --> 02:41:55,950
number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from

4531
02:41:55,950 --> 02:41:56,310
Gaza.

4532
02:41:56,470 --> 02:41:59,070
Trump says he would like to, quote, clean

4533
02:41:59,070 --> 02:41:59,950
the whole thing out.

4534
02:42:00,490 --> 02:42:02,450
He also says that he will now allow

4535
02:42:02,450 --> 02:42:04,710
the U.S. to send 2,000 pound

4536
02:42:04,710 --> 02:42:07,470
bombs to Israel, which had been paused by

4537
02:42:07,470 --> 02:42:08,270
President Biden.

4538
02:42:08,590 --> 02:42:10,690
Hamas and Israel agreed to a ceasefire deal

4539
02:42:10,690 --> 02:42:11,370
last week.

4540
02:42:11,730 --> 02:42:14,210
So far, seven of the remaining hostages taken

4541
02:42:14,210 --> 02:42:17,670
by Hamas militants in the 2023 attack have

4542
02:42:17,670 --> 02:42:18,610
returned to Israel.

4543
02:42:18,990 --> 02:42:22,590
For its part, Israel released 200 Palestinian prisoners.

4544
02:42:23,110 --> 02:42:25,690
Meanwhile, Israeli defense forces say they will not

4545
02:42:25,690 --> 02:42:28,070
be able to withdraw from southern Lebanon today,

4546
02:42:28,130 --> 02:42:30,050
which is a violation of the ceasefire agreement

4547
02:42:30,050 --> 02:42:31,110
with Hezbollah.

4548
02:42:31,490 --> 02:42:34,430
Both sides have 60 days to remove soldiers

4549
02:42:34,430 --> 02:42:36,970
from the region, but Israel is now accusing

4550
02:42:36,970 --> 02:42:40,150
Hezbollah and the Lebanese army of not upholding

4551
02:42:40,150 --> 02:42:41,010
their side of the deal.

4552
02:42:41,170 --> 02:42:43,670
Lebanon says Israel is getting in the way

4553
02:42:43,670 --> 02:42:44,730
of doing their job.

4554
02:42:45,250 --> 02:42:46,730
Yeah, not in this report.

4555
02:42:47,130 --> 02:42:49,090
President Trump apparently has said, hey, I got

4556
02:42:49,090 --> 02:42:51,050
these 2,000 pound bombs I'm going to

4557
02:42:51,050 --> 02:42:51,750
give to Israel.

4558
02:42:52,370 --> 02:42:53,090
That's interesting.

4559
02:42:53,410 --> 02:42:55,830
I have the Al Jazeera report about the

4560
02:42:55,830 --> 02:42:56,190
Lebanon.

4561
02:42:57,850 --> 02:42:58,410
Overlook.

4562
02:42:58,590 --> 02:42:59,150
Overlook.

4563
02:43:01,450 --> 02:43:04,590
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is blaming Lebanon

4564
02:43:04,590 --> 02:43:06,790
for the delay in implementing the terms of

4565
02:43:06,790 --> 02:43:09,630
the ceasefire there, saying the Lebanese army isn't

4566
02:43:09,630 --> 02:43:11,170
upholding its end of the deal.

4567
02:43:11,690 --> 02:43:14,190
Israeli troops were supposed to withdraw on Sunday,

4568
02:43:14,330 --> 02:43:16,810
but Netanyahu says there aren't enough Lebanese soldiers

4569
02:43:16,810 --> 02:43:18,890
in border villages for them to do so.

4570
02:43:19,350 --> 02:43:21,350
He also says Hezbollah has not pulled back

4571
02:43:21,350 --> 02:43:23,150
sufficiently from the border region.

4572
02:43:23,750 --> 02:43:25,910
Lebanon denies the claims and is urging Israel

4573
02:43:25,910 --> 02:43:27,110
to respect the deadline.

4574
02:43:27,810 --> 02:43:29,530
The November deal ended more than a year

4575
02:43:29,530 --> 02:43:32,430
of cross-border hostilities between the Israeli army

4576
02:43:32,430 --> 02:43:34,490
and Hezbollah, as well as two months of

4577
02:43:34,490 --> 02:43:36,950
a large-scale Israeli assault on Lebanon.

4578
02:43:37,130 --> 02:43:38,890
Al Jazeera's Zaina Hodder has more now from

4579
02:43:38,890 --> 02:43:39,450
southern Lebanon.

4580
02:43:39,750 --> 02:43:41,590
We are in Burj al-Malouk, a village

4581
02:43:41,590 --> 02:43:44,730
in southern Lebanon, roughly four kilometers from the

4582
02:43:44,730 --> 02:43:45,530
border with Israel.

4583
02:43:45,930 --> 02:43:49,170
Early on Saturday, Israeli troops and bulldozers approached

4584
02:43:49,170 --> 02:43:51,230
the village, and they closed one of the

4585
02:43:51,230 --> 02:43:54,470
main roads using earth mounds and barricades.

4586
02:43:54,870 --> 02:43:57,630
The Israeli army will not be pulling out

4587
02:43:57,630 --> 02:44:01,710
from territory along the border in line with

4588
02:44:01,710 --> 02:44:04,490
a ceasefire agreement, that 60-day deadline.

4589
02:44:04,850 --> 02:44:07,930
They're supposed to leave Lebanon by early Sunday.

4590
02:44:08,330 --> 02:44:11,790
The Israeli prime minister is saying that Lebanon

4591
02:44:11,790 --> 02:44:14,150
is not upholding its side of the agreement.

4592
02:44:14,650 --> 02:44:17,610
It is claiming that the Lebanese army is

4593
02:44:17,610 --> 02:44:22,810
still not able to ensure that Hezbollah doesn't

4594
02:44:22,810 --> 02:44:26,370
re-establish its military presence along the border.

4595
02:44:26,510 --> 02:44:29,090
Now, Lebanon and Lebanese officials are demanding that

4596
02:44:29,090 --> 02:44:31,130
Israel respects that ceasefire agreement.

4597
02:44:31,270 --> 02:44:33,850
They believe that these are excuses and that

4598
02:44:33,850 --> 02:44:35,650
the army is not able to deploy simply

4599
02:44:35,650 --> 02:44:37,950
because of the presence of Israeli troops.

4600
02:44:38,070 --> 02:44:41,870
Israel's position is supported by the Trump administration,

4601
02:44:42,130 --> 02:44:44,510
with the White House saying, quote, there is

4602
02:44:44,510 --> 02:44:48,310
an urgent need for a short and temporary

4603
02:44:48,310 --> 02:44:51,770
extension of that ceasefire deal.

4604
02:44:52,210 --> 02:44:53,450
That's still a mess.

4605
02:44:54,110 --> 02:44:56,010
There's one thing that's interesting and no one's

4606
02:44:56,010 --> 02:45:00,770
picked up on, which is the ratio of

4607
02:45:00,770 --> 02:45:01,770
Palestinian...

4608
02:45:01,770 --> 02:45:03,410
because of the nature of the...

4609
02:45:03,410 --> 02:45:05,910
you could say it was racism or it's

4610
02:45:05,910 --> 02:45:08,010
like this is just something that no one's

4611
02:45:08,010 --> 02:45:08,850
picked up on.

4612
02:45:09,450 --> 02:45:12,610
You had the release of four more hostages

4613
02:45:12,610 --> 02:45:18,250
from the Hamas and then 200 Palestinians were

4614
02:45:18,250 --> 02:45:22,210
released, which means that one Jew is worth

4615
02:45:22,210 --> 02:45:23,670
50 Palestinians.

4616
02:45:25,130 --> 02:45:29,150
Now, the idea that one Jew is worth

4617
02:45:29,150 --> 02:45:31,470
50 Palestinians and which is a pretty much

4618
02:45:31,470 --> 02:45:34,690
the ratio for all these exchanges, is kind

4619
02:45:34,690 --> 02:45:38,010
of an insult to the Palestinians at some

4620
02:45:38,010 --> 02:45:38,450
point.

4621
02:45:39,750 --> 02:45:41,490
But no one has done anything with this

4622
02:45:41,490 --> 02:45:43,550
ratio and ridiculed it.

4623
02:45:43,610 --> 02:45:44,410
You know what we call that?

4624
02:45:45,190 --> 02:45:45,930
Best price.

4625
02:45:49,370 --> 02:45:51,790
Our producers never cease to amaze me.

4626
02:45:51,990 --> 02:45:52,990
I should have done this a little bit

4627
02:45:52,990 --> 02:45:55,150
earlier when we're talking about Newsom's Inferno.

4628
02:45:55,790 --> 02:45:57,990
One of our producers wrote in, and this

4629
02:45:57,990 --> 02:45:59,250
is verified, I don't know who he is.

4630
02:45:59,710 --> 02:46:02,790
He was there when the Vistra ML 300

4631
02:46:02,790 --> 02:46:06,870
battery power storage facility was built, which I

4632
02:46:06,870 --> 02:46:07,990
think is still on fire.

4633
02:46:09,330 --> 02:46:09,970
Do you know?

4634
02:46:10,090 --> 02:46:11,010
The one at Moss Point?

4635
02:46:11,210 --> 02:46:14,390
Yeah, the Vistra, the Vistra battery storage.

4636
02:46:15,790 --> 02:46:18,170
Yeah, I think it still is on fire.

4637
02:46:18,230 --> 02:46:19,070
Yeah, listen to this.

4638
02:46:19,450 --> 02:46:24,370
The original control system was Fluence and that

4639
02:46:24,370 --> 02:46:26,630
was a miserable failure that they replaced it

4640
02:46:26,630 --> 02:46:28,190
with Ovation.

4641
02:46:28,390 --> 02:46:29,910
So he's getting into the details of what

4642
02:46:29,910 --> 02:46:30,830
these systems were.

4643
02:46:31,170 --> 02:46:33,550
The risk of fire was always known at

4644
02:46:33,550 --> 02:46:34,170
this facility.

4645
02:46:34,270 --> 02:46:36,170
In fact, it was a high-risk register

4646
02:46:36,170 --> 02:46:37,290
item for corporate.

4647
02:46:38,010 --> 02:46:40,150
The problem is that the batteries were put

4648
02:46:40,150 --> 02:46:43,190
into an old turbine building from a previous

4649
02:46:43,190 --> 02:46:44,730
power plant that was on the site.

4650
02:46:45,150 --> 02:46:47,030
This was considered a good thing because no

4651
02:46:47,030 --> 02:46:49,230
new building was needed to be built, or

4652
02:46:49,230 --> 02:46:50,130
permits I presume.

4653
02:46:50,590 --> 02:46:53,310
However, during the fire this became a hindrance

4654
02:46:53,310 --> 02:46:55,770
because the batteries were very close together and

4655
02:46:55,770 --> 02:46:57,310
had limited fire suppression.

4656
02:46:57,770 --> 02:46:59,830
This is a big blow to the California

4657
02:46:59,830 --> 02:47:00,730
battery push.

4658
02:47:00,730 --> 02:47:03,510
The chemistry of these batteries is extremely dangerous

4659
02:47:03,510 --> 02:47:04,270
if they ignite.

4660
02:47:04,870 --> 02:47:06,450
Think of all the EV fires you've seen

4661
02:47:06,450 --> 02:47:08,090
and multiply that by a thousand.

4662
02:47:08,730 --> 02:47:11,330
From a corporate standpoint, batteries were a big

4663
02:47:11,330 --> 02:47:13,210
play for Vistra and their push for net

4664
02:47:13,210 --> 02:47:13,610
zero.

4665
02:47:13,950 --> 02:47:15,290
This may change things.

4666
02:47:15,410 --> 02:47:16,990
My former boss, who still works for the

4667
02:47:16,990 --> 02:47:19,010
company, called me about the fire when it

4668
02:47:19,010 --> 02:47:21,450
happened as I and others had raised some

4669
02:47:21,450 --> 02:47:23,090
risk questions in the past.

4670
02:47:23,170 --> 02:47:25,230
Another big problem with the battery sites is

4671
02:47:25,230 --> 02:47:27,950
the digital inverters at the utility scale are

4672
02:47:27,950 --> 02:47:29,050
not holding up.

4673
02:47:29,930 --> 02:47:30,130
No.

4674
02:47:30,490 --> 02:47:30,850
Yeah.

4675
02:47:33,890 --> 02:47:35,650
People are just telling him, like, no, it's

4676
02:47:35,650 --> 02:47:36,530
not a good idea.

4677
02:47:36,730 --> 02:47:37,390
It's not a good idea.

4678
02:47:37,390 --> 02:47:38,550
By the way, you want to say hi

4679
02:47:38,550 --> 02:47:40,210
to Rick Nelson and his lovely wife?

4680
02:47:40,530 --> 02:47:42,110
We're in Fredericksburg this weekend.

4681
02:47:42,250 --> 02:47:42,630
Hi Rick.

4682
02:47:43,830 --> 02:47:44,510
I just want to say hi.

4683
02:47:44,630 --> 02:47:45,910
It's an old DJ thing.

4684
02:47:47,250 --> 02:47:48,570
You always want to say hi when someone's

4685
02:47:48,570 --> 02:47:48,950
in town.

4686
02:47:49,770 --> 02:47:50,210
Oh, okay.

4687
02:47:50,390 --> 02:47:51,790
Yeah, it's just me.

4688
02:47:53,250 --> 02:47:54,890
DEI, little DEI laughs?

4689
02:47:56,530 --> 02:47:56,810
Yeah.

4690
02:47:57,050 --> 02:47:57,350
Okay.

4691
02:47:57,590 --> 02:47:59,210
Joy Reid, how could you go wrong?

4692
02:47:59,550 --> 02:48:03,050
Federal employees are receiving emails warning that they

4693
02:48:03,050 --> 02:48:05,770
could face repercussions if they do not snitch

4694
02:48:05,770 --> 02:48:08,970
on their co-workers who work in diversity,

4695
02:48:09,270 --> 02:48:12,810
equity, inclusion, and accessibility positions that might have

4696
02:48:12,810 --> 02:48:15,370
gone unnoticed by government supervisors.

4697
02:48:16,270 --> 02:48:18,650
DEI efforts date back to the civil rights

4698
02:48:18,650 --> 02:48:21,970
movement to create more diverse and inclusive workplaces.

4699
02:48:22,390 --> 02:48:23,570
No, I don't think so.

4700
02:48:23,990 --> 02:48:25,190
That's not true.

4701
02:48:25,490 --> 02:48:28,370
But on Thursday, Trump slammed them as absolute

4702
02:48:28,370 --> 02:48:32,210
nonsense in remarks to the World Economic Forum.

4703
02:48:33,170 --> 02:48:36,370
My administration has taken action to abolish all

4704
02:48:36,370 --> 02:48:40,610
discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion nonsense.

4705
02:48:40,630 --> 02:48:43,630
And these are policies that were absolute nonsense

4706
02:48:43,630 --> 02:48:46,790
throughout the government and the private sector.

4707
02:48:47,150 --> 02:48:50,430
With the recent, yet somewhat unexpected, great Supreme

4708
02:48:50,430 --> 02:48:54,170
Court decision just made, America will once again

4709
02:48:54,170 --> 02:48:56,650
become a merit-based country.

4710
02:48:57,430 --> 02:48:59,390
What Supreme Court decision is he talking about?

4711
02:49:00,170 --> 02:49:00,930
I have no idea.

4712
02:49:01,350 --> 02:49:01,750
That's interesting.

4713
02:49:01,930 --> 02:49:03,470
I think he must be referring to that

4714
02:49:03,470 --> 02:49:05,390
older one where they, I think it was

4715
02:49:05,390 --> 02:49:08,270
against Harvard, where the Asian students couldn't get

4716
02:49:08,270 --> 02:49:10,030
in because they were Asian, and they were

4717
02:49:10,030 --> 02:49:10,690
like, wait a minute.

4718
02:49:11,010 --> 02:49:12,930
Yeah, that's some DEI for you.

4719
02:49:13,170 --> 02:49:14,030
And a final one.

4720
02:49:14,150 --> 02:49:16,170
Federal employees are receiving emails.

4721
02:49:16,570 --> 02:49:17,370
I already got that one.

4722
02:49:17,450 --> 02:49:18,250
Sorry, it's the same one.

4723
02:49:18,310 --> 02:49:18,770
It's just longer.

4724
02:49:18,970 --> 02:49:19,350
Never mind.

4725
02:49:20,090 --> 02:49:20,470
Never mind.

4726
02:49:20,810 --> 02:49:22,350
Let's play a funny clip.

4727
02:49:22,530 --> 02:49:22,810
Okay.

4728
02:49:23,850 --> 02:49:26,350
TikTok clip on smelling hair.

4729
02:49:26,730 --> 02:49:28,130
I was watching a clip of J.D.

4730
02:49:28,170 --> 02:49:32,330
Vance's kids, just being kids, yesterday, and that

4731
02:49:32,330 --> 02:49:32,970
was awesome.

4732
02:49:33,230 --> 02:49:34,670
But you know what I picked up on

4733
02:49:34,670 --> 02:49:35,250
immediately?

4734
02:49:36,410 --> 02:49:37,930
Trump never tried to smell them.

4735
02:49:38,590 --> 02:49:40,030
Not one sniff was given.

4736
02:49:41,630 --> 02:49:42,710
Okay, that's good.

4737
02:49:43,490 --> 02:49:46,550
You know that Bill Gates thing where he

4738
02:49:46,550 --> 02:49:48,070
talked about his meeting with Trump?

4739
02:49:48,710 --> 02:49:48,970
Yeah.

4740
02:49:49,350 --> 02:49:50,770
So there's more to that.

4741
02:49:51,590 --> 02:49:54,730
There's two more pieces to that that I

4742
02:49:54,730 --> 02:49:58,130
don't think anyone saw because, you know, why

4743
02:49:58,130 --> 02:49:58,590
bother?

4744
02:49:58,730 --> 02:50:00,610
Why bother and go look and see what

4745
02:50:00,610 --> 02:50:01,370
else there was?

4746
02:50:01,670 --> 02:50:04,550
So he talked about meeting with President Trump,

4747
02:50:04,590 --> 02:50:06,830
and he had this three-hour dinner, and

4748
02:50:06,830 --> 02:50:08,310
la-di-da was also great, but he

4749
02:50:08,310 --> 02:50:11,050
also talked about RFK Jr. What do you

4750
02:50:11,050 --> 02:50:14,890
make of RFK and vaccines and what he's

4751
02:50:14,890 --> 02:50:16,830
saying about it and the position he's been

4752
02:50:16,830 --> 02:50:18,750
given in this incoming administration?

4753
02:50:19,270 --> 02:50:21,670
Well, he wrote a book saying that Tony

4754
02:50:21,670 --> 02:50:25,050
Fauci and I kill millions of children and

4755
02:50:25,050 --> 02:50:29,130
make billions of dollars with vaccines, and, you

4756
02:50:29,130 --> 02:50:31,650
know, people can judge for themselves whether that's

4757
02:50:31,650 --> 02:50:32,930
that's correct or not.

4758
02:50:44,210 --> 02:50:46,670
Ahead of Trump's election, the Wall Street Journal

4759
02:50:46,670 --> 02:50:49,610
reported Gates donated around $50 million towards a

4760
02:50:49,610 --> 02:50:50,810
pro-Harris super PAC.

4761
02:50:51,210 --> 02:50:53,450
But you didn't actually ever publicly endorse him.

4762
02:50:53,590 --> 02:50:54,450
Why was that?

4763
02:50:55,030 --> 02:50:57,830
In my role as chairman of the Gates

4764
02:50:57,830 --> 02:51:02,150
Foundation, you know, we've had incredible relationships with...

4765
02:51:02,150 --> 02:51:04,290
I missed that one myself, hold on.

4766
02:51:04,690 --> 02:51:07,810
In my role as chairman of the Gates

4767
02:51:07,810 --> 02:51:08,630
Foundation...

4768
02:51:08,630 --> 02:51:09,070
Wow!

4769
02:51:10,950 --> 02:51:12,410
In my role as chairman...

4770
02:51:12,410 --> 02:51:13,390
there's a lie coming up.

4771
02:51:13,450 --> 02:51:14,850
Here's a lie, here's a lie.

4772
02:51:14,970 --> 02:51:17,470
I did give $50 million to the super

4773
02:51:17,470 --> 02:51:18,830
PAC, but I'm gonna lie about it.

4774
02:51:18,910 --> 02:51:21,710
In my role as chairman of the Gates

4775
02:51:21,710 --> 02:51:24,890
Foundation, you know, we've had incredible relationships with

4776
02:51:24,890 --> 02:51:26,690
every administration.

4777
02:51:27,270 --> 02:51:28,930
You know, the progress since the year 2000,

4778
02:51:29,750 --> 02:51:32,130
you know, cutting childhood death in half, cutting

4779
02:51:32,130 --> 02:51:34,910
HIV deaths in half, you know, that's due

4780
02:51:34,910 --> 02:51:38,410
to partnerships with rich world governments, where the

4781
02:51:38,410 --> 02:51:42,070
U.S. is, in absolute, the most generous.

4782
02:51:42,470 --> 02:51:45,890
And so, you know, I look forward to

4783
02:51:45,890 --> 02:51:47,870
working with every...

4784
02:51:47,870 --> 02:51:49,310
together with every administration.

4785
02:51:50,250 --> 02:51:53,450
And then the final one, and I'm so

4786
02:51:53,450 --> 02:51:55,570
surprised that no one got this.

4787
02:51:55,690 --> 02:51:57,930
I mean, all they had was Bill Gates

4788
02:51:57,930 --> 02:52:00,450
having dinner with President Trump, but this is

4789
02:52:00,450 --> 02:52:00,890
the killer.

4790
02:52:01,070 --> 02:52:03,630
The Journal previously reported on Gates' ties to

4791
02:52:03,630 --> 02:52:07,170
Jeffrey Epstein, including that Epstein threatened Gates over

4792
02:52:07,170 --> 02:52:08,130
an affair he had.

4793
02:52:08,830 --> 02:52:10,590
The two met a few times, Gates says,

4794
02:52:10,750 --> 02:52:11,790
to discuss philanthropy.

4795
02:52:12,610 --> 02:52:15,130
Do you think, looking back at that moment,

4796
02:52:15,370 --> 02:52:17,170
that you were being played?

4797
02:52:20,890 --> 02:52:24,690
Well, Jeffrey, in retrospect, I was foolish to

4798
02:52:24,690 --> 02:52:27,070
spend any time with him, and he sort

4799
02:52:27,070 --> 02:52:30,090
of, you know, got time with various people

4800
02:52:30,090 --> 02:52:31,610
by spending time with other people.

4801
02:52:31,830 --> 02:52:34,510
So, yes, I think I was quite stupid.

4802
02:52:35,150 --> 02:52:37,890
You know, I thought it would help me

4803
02:52:37,890 --> 02:52:39,130
with global health philanthropy.

4804
02:52:39,330 --> 02:52:41,070
In fact, it failed to do that, and

4805
02:52:41,070 --> 02:52:43,690
it was just a huge mistake.

4806
02:52:43,950 --> 02:52:46,890
Has it made you more wary of connections?

4807
02:52:47,130 --> 02:52:47,470
Definitely.

4808
02:52:48,150 --> 02:52:49,210
I mean, are you kidding?

4809
02:52:49,930 --> 02:52:51,830
Now, you're not elected, but I think it's

4810
02:52:51,830 --> 02:52:53,310
fair to say that you could probably pick

4811
02:52:53,310 --> 02:52:54,970
up the phone to any world leader out

4812
02:52:54,970 --> 02:52:55,210
there.

4813
02:52:55,490 --> 02:52:57,390
Who's the last world leader that you spoke

4814
02:52:57,390 --> 02:52:57,670
to?

4815
02:52:58,050 --> 02:53:00,470
Because of how engaged the foundation is in

4816
02:53:00,470 --> 02:53:02,250
these global health issues, I talked to world

4817
02:53:02,250 --> 02:53:03,290
leaders a lot.

4818
02:53:03,670 --> 02:53:04,890
You know, so in the last month, I've

4819
02:53:04,890 --> 02:53:07,950
talked to President Macron, Ursula von der Leyen.

4820
02:53:08,190 --> 02:53:09,470
Do any of them ring you up and

4821
02:53:09,470 --> 02:53:11,150
ask you for advice on how to handle

4822
02:53:11,150 --> 02:53:12,370
Donald Trump?

4823
02:53:12,730 --> 02:53:14,650
No, I've never had that.

4824
02:53:16,610 --> 02:53:19,970
You know, I've had people be quizzical about

4825
02:53:19,970 --> 02:53:23,730
maybe what they should do, but I'm, you

4826
02:53:23,730 --> 02:53:26,070
know, they'll have to, they're on their own

4827
02:53:26,070 --> 02:53:26,810
on that one.

4828
02:53:28,850 --> 02:53:30,610
That guy's a scourge.

4829
02:53:31,530 --> 02:53:32,610
He's a scourge.

4830
02:53:32,850 --> 02:53:35,770
Did you see the Jon Stewart podcast with

4831
02:53:35,770 --> 02:53:36,230
AOC?

4832
02:53:37,190 --> 02:53:39,750
I only saw clips, a part of it.

4833
02:53:39,810 --> 02:53:41,570
I did not sit down and actually watch

4834
02:53:41,570 --> 02:53:42,550
it, which I should do.

4835
02:53:42,790 --> 02:53:43,630
Well, no, you shouldn't.

4836
02:53:43,690 --> 02:53:44,670
She's off the rails.

4837
02:53:44,850 --> 02:53:46,890
Yes, she went way off the rails with

4838
02:53:46,890 --> 02:53:47,350
Jon.

4839
02:53:48,670 --> 02:53:50,110
He's off the rails, too.

4840
02:53:50,790 --> 02:53:51,950
Yeah, he is.

4841
02:53:52,330 --> 02:53:54,170
Yeah, I don't know why he's still doing

4842
02:53:54,170 --> 02:53:54,990
his podcast.

4843
02:53:55,170 --> 02:53:56,790
I mean, he's got gigs and stuff.

4844
02:53:56,910 --> 02:53:59,830
It's not a great podcast, but this was

4845
02:53:59,830 --> 02:54:01,630
a humorous little moment.

4846
02:54:02,190 --> 02:54:03,970
There need to be Democrats who walk the

4847
02:54:03,970 --> 02:54:04,830
walk and talk the talk.

4848
02:54:05,030 --> 02:54:08,370
There is an insane amount of hypocrisy, and

4849
02:54:08,370 --> 02:54:09,950
the hypocrisy is what gets...

4850
02:54:09,950 --> 02:54:10,590
What was that?

4851
02:54:10,590 --> 02:54:15,050
Yeah, he grunts into the microphone a lot.

4852
02:54:15,050 --> 02:54:16,170
What was that noise?

4853
02:54:16,470 --> 02:54:17,110
That was horrible.

4854
02:54:17,110 --> 02:54:18,590
He's going...

4855
02:54:18,590 --> 02:54:22,850
An insane amount of hypocrisy, and the hypocrisy

4856
02:54:22,850 --> 02:54:26,550
is what gets exploited to use cynicism.

4857
02:54:27,030 --> 02:54:30,470
And wherever there's a hypocritical window, for example,

4858
02:54:30,630 --> 02:54:34,110
I think one of the most biggest examples

4859
02:54:34,110 --> 02:54:36,310
of this is insider trading in Congress.

4860
02:54:36,760 --> 02:54:37,010
Dude.

4861
02:54:37,650 --> 02:54:37,910
Dude.

4862
02:54:38,230 --> 02:54:40,770
I don't know if I...

4863
02:54:40,770 --> 02:54:41,830
Do I give snaps?

4864
02:54:42,030 --> 02:54:43,770
I don't know what the kids do anymore,

4865
02:54:43,870 --> 02:54:45,030
but dude.

4866
02:54:45,290 --> 02:54:45,670
Dude.

4867
02:54:46,050 --> 02:54:46,550
Yes.

4868
02:54:47,210 --> 02:54:48,710
That's so crazy.

4869
02:54:48,930 --> 02:54:51,230
It's so crazy.

4870
02:54:52,490 --> 02:54:52,650
It's crazy.

4871
02:54:53,110 --> 02:54:53,670
I mean...

4872
02:54:53,670 --> 02:54:55,210
Do you think they think it's crazy?

4873
02:54:55,510 --> 02:54:56,890
Are they just discovering this?

4874
02:54:57,010 --> 02:54:58,030
You know what Jen, the show has been

4875
02:54:58,030 --> 02:54:59,410
talking about this for how long?

4876
02:55:00,770 --> 02:55:02,650
15, 16, 17 years.

4877
02:55:02,650 --> 02:55:04,450
And this is the thing.

4878
02:55:05,210 --> 02:55:08,370
People think that everyday people are stupid.

4879
02:55:08,950 --> 02:55:11,310
I'm like, do you all really think that

4880
02:55:11,310 --> 02:55:12,950
people don't see this shit?

4881
02:55:13,470 --> 02:55:14,650
They sit on a committee.

4882
02:55:14,870 --> 02:55:17,850
They get information about a drug or a

4883
02:55:17,850 --> 02:55:18,730
contract or a thing.

4884
02:55:18,950 --> 02:55:20,650
They immediately make a call.

4885
02:55:20,990 --> 02:55:26,370
The stockbroker changes things, and their portfolio swells.

4886
02:55:26,970 --> 02:55:27,570
Explodes.

4887
02:55:27,810 --> 02:55:28,090
It explodes.

4888
02:55:28,090 --> 02:55:28,910
What are we doing?

4889
02:55:28,910 --> 02:55:34,290
And you're doing this on public trust, on

4890
02:55:34,290 --> 02:55:40,470
taxpayer finance, public facilities.

4891
02:55:41,610 --> 02:55:45,830
You're regulating the market that you're trading on.

4892
02:55:45,870 --> 02:55:46,430
Exactly.

4893
02:55:47,110 --> 02:55:48,070
You run the casino.

4894
02:55:48,710 --> 02:55:50,810
And then we're supposed to act like money

4895
02:55:50,810 --> 02:55:52,850
only corrupts Republicans?

4896
02:55:53,330 --> 02:55:55,430
Give me a fucking break.

4897
02:55:56,970 --> 02:55:57,370
Yeah.

4898
02:55:57,470 --> 02:55:58,890
Welcome to the party, AOC.

4899
02:56:00,390 --> 02:56:01,210
With the cussing.

4900
02:56:01,290 --> 02:56:02,350
Again, with the cussing.

4901
02:56:02,490 --> 02:56:02,950
Yeah, the cussing.

4902
02:56:02,950 --> 02:56:03,730
So much cussing.

4903
02:56:04,310 --> 02:56:06,070
And this is what I mean by, I

4904
02:56:06,070 --> 02:56:07,070
don't know if we're going to make four

4905
02:56:07,070 --> 02:56:09,270
more years, because she won't say that on

4906
02:56:09,270 --> 02:56:10,010
MSNBC.

4907
02:56:10,150 --> 02:56:10,730
Then she's all...

4908
02:56:11,790 --> 02:56:14,390
I mean, this is only on podcasts.

4909
02:56:15,150 --> 02:56:17,170
We've been such front runners of this.

4910
02:56:18,830 --> 02:56:19,950
I don't know what to do.

4911
02:56:20,530 --> 02:56:21,250
It's going to get hard.

4912
02:56:21,970 --> 02:56:23,350
It's going to get very hard.

4913
02:56:23,610 --> 02:56:23,930
All right.

4914
02:56:23,930 --> 02:56:24,970
I'll let you play one more clip.

4915
02:56:24,970 --> 02:56:26,090
Never going to get hard.

4916
02:56:26,630 --> 02:56:27,590
That's what she said.

4917
02:56:28,110 --> 02:56:29,270
How do we get out of here?

4918
02:56:29,430 --> 02:56:29,930
You got something?

4919
02:56:30,290 --> 02:56:30,450
Well, let's see.

4920
02:56:30,710 --> 02:56:31,650
We can play a little.

4921
02:56:31,770 --> 02:56:32,830
We can do the Korea thing.

4922
02:56:32,930 --> 02:56:34,510
We can do the justice back off on

4923
02:56:34,510 --> 02:56:35,290
abortion clinics.

4924
02:56:35,430 --> 02:56:36,770
We can do the overlay where you did

4925
02:56:36,770 --> 02:56:37,070
that.

4926
02:56:37,570 --> 02:56:41,190
Porn site age verification is interesting, and I

4927
02:56:41,190 --> 02:56:42,130
have a comment about it.

4928
02:56:42,270 --> 02:56:43,270
Now there you're talking.

4929
02:56:43,450 --> 02:56:45,870
The Supreme Court heard a challenge today to

4930
02:56:45,870 --> 02:56:48,750
a Texas law that requires age verification for

4931
02:56:48,750 --> 02:56:49,810
adult websites.

4932
02:56:50,070 --> 02:56:53,430
A trade group representing adult entertainment performers and

4933
02:56:53,430 --> 02:56:56,690
companies argues the law violates the First Amendment.

4934
02:56:57,670 --> 02:56:59,930
After two hours of oral argument, a majority

4935
02:56:59,930 --> 02:57:02,330
of the court signaled that states should be

4936
02:57:02,330 --> 02:57:04,590
able to impose some kind of age requirement

4937
02:57:04,590 --> 02:57:05,630
for such websites.

4938
02:57:06,150 --> 02:57:08,330
This is to ensure that minors can't easily

4939
02:57:08,330 --> 02:57:10,670
access obscene material online.

4940
02:57:10,990 --> 02:57:13,490
But several justices also flag concerns that their

4941
02:57:13,490 --> 02:57:16,250
ruling could spill over and affect other First

4942
02:57:16,250 --> 02:57:17,070
Amendment rights.

4943
02:57:17,530 --> 02:57:19,990
A decision is expected by this summer.

4944
02:57:20,350 --> 02:57:22,830
The Texas law from 2023 is similar to

4945
02:57:22,830 --> 02:57:25,450
19 others enacted around the United States.

4946
02:57:25,890 --> 02:57:28,850
Under the Texas law, adult websites must require

4947
02:57:28,850 --> 02:57:33,150
all users to submit personally identifying information verifying

4948
02:57:33,150 --> 02:57:35,790
that they are at least 18 years old.

4949
02:57:36,290 --> 02:57:39,530
Challengers, including the American Civil Liberties Union, argue

4950
02:57:39,530 --> 02:57:42,350
the law is an unacceptable burden to access

4951
02:57:42,350 --> 02:57:44,870
constitutionally protected free speech.

4952
02:57:45,410 --> 02:57:48,250
Some adult sites have responded by blocking access

4953
02:57:48,250 --> 02:57:51,190
entirely in states with age verification laws.

4954
02:57:51,310 --> 02:57:52,770
No porn in Texas.

4955
02:57:53,930 --> 02:57:55,350
Well, it's probably good for you.

4956
02:57:55,750 --> 02:57:55,850
Yeah.

4957
02:57:57,230 --> 02:57:58,990
So this is never going to fly.

4958
02:57:59,150 --> 02:58:00,910
No one's going to put their...

4959
02:58:00,910 --> 02:58:02,190
prove your...

4960
02:58:02,190 --> 02:58:03,930
Besides that, there's a couple of things.

4961
02:58:04,570 --> 02:58:06,410
This is ludicrous.

4962
02:58:06,770 --> 02:58:07,870
What is the internet age?

4963
02:58:07,890 --> 02:58:09,630
We're not living in the dark ages here.

4964
02:58:10,070 --> 02:58:11,870
So someone says, hey, verify that...

4965
02:58:11,870 --> 02:58:14,730
scan your driver's license to prove that you're

4966
02:58:14,730 --> 02:58:16,250
such an age.

4967
02:58:17,130 --> 02:58:20,210
So I'm a kid and I got my...

4968
02:58:20,210 --> 02:58:21,730
I look at, hey, dad, can I borrow

4969
02:58:21,730 --> 02:58:23,190
your driver's license for a second?

4970
02:58:24,010 --> 02:58:24,410
Yeah, sure.

4971
02:58:24,450 --> 02:58:24,910
What do you need it for?

4972
02:58:25,070 --> 02:58:26,110
Oh, it's a school project.

4973
02:58:26,530 --> 02:58:26,770
Okay.

4974
02:58:27,090 --> 02:58:29,430
And boom, you scan the dad's license.

4975
02:58:29,550 --> 02:58:30,770
You scan somebody else's license.

4976
02:58:30,890 --> 02:58:31,630
You do something.

4977
02:58:32,490 --> 02:58:34,450
Kids, when I was a kid, when I

4978
02:58:34,450 --> 02:58:34,950
was a kid...

4979
02:58:34,950 --> 02:58:35,450
There we go.

4980
02:58:35,590 --> 02:58:38,330
There were, you know, everybody in high school

4981
02:58:38,330 --> 02:58:40,610
had a fake ID so they could go

4982
02:58:40,610 --> 02:58:40,990
drinking.

4983
02:58:41,110 --> 02:58:42,050
The girls mostly.

4984
02:58:42,190 --> 02:58:45,310
Because in those days, before you got your

4985
02:58:45,310 --> 02:58:47,690
actual license, you had a temporary license that

4986
02:58:47,690 --> 02:58:49,170
was a piece of paper that could easily

4987
02:58:49,170 --> 02:58:53,130
be changed, counterfeited, forged, whatever.

4988
02:58:53,710 --> 02:58:55,250
So every girl who...

4989
02:58:55,250 --> 02:58:57,830
Every 16-year-old that I knew had

4990
02:58:57,830 --> 02:59:00,450
a fake ID saying they were 21.

4991
02:59:01,010 --> 02:59:02,550
And if they put enough makeup on, they

4992
02:59:02,550 --> 02:59:03,510
can get away with it.

4993
02:59:03,990 --> 02:59:06,170
And this is not going to work.

4994
02:59:06,250 --> 02:59:07,050
It's dumb.

4995
02:59:07,790 --> 02:59:10,510
I think what they're all angling here, this

4996
02:59:10,510 --> 02:59:13,250
is a globalist push, which is a big...

4997
02:59:13,250 --> 02:59:15,310
ID, universal ID.

4998
02:59:15,450 --> 02:59:17,150
Yeah, it was a big conversation in Davos.

4999
02:59:17,170 --> 02:59:18,010
It's not going to happen.

5000
02:59:19,270 --> 02:59:19,890
It better happen.

5001
02:59:19,890 --> 02:59:20,710
I know you think it is.

5002
02:59:20,810 --> 02:59:21,350
I'm saying now.

5003
02:59:21,350 --> 02:59:22,070
I think it is.

5004
02:59:22,130 --> 02:59:22,770
I think it is.

5005
02:59:23,030 --> 02:59:24,390
Yeah, well, you would.

5006
02:59:24,510 --> 02:59:25,710
Well, I would, yes.

5007
02:59:26,450 --> 02:59:27,490
Because I like it.

5008
02:59:27,930 --> 02:59:28,910
I think it's good.

5009
02:59:29,590 --> 02:59:30,690
You don't think it's good.

5010
02:59:30,870 --> 02:59:32,850
You're just paranoid for no good reason.

5011
02:59:33,150 --> 02:59:36,790
Login.gov is essentially already your digital ID.

5012
02:59:36,910 --> 02:59:38,630
And you know what they do when you

5013
02:59:38,630 --> 02:59:41,910
do AML, KYC type stuff?

5014
02:59:42,190 --> 02:59:43,350
You know, it's like they...

5015
02:59:43,350 --> 02:59:45,310
It's not just your driver's license.

5016
02:59:45,850 --> 02:59:48,350
They also force you to take a selfie,

5017
02:59:48,490 --> 02:59:50,070
and then they compare the selfie.

5018
02:59:50,210 --> 02:59:51,890
So you have to say, Dad, can I

5019
02:59:51,890 --> 02:59:52,710
borrow that for a second?

5020
02:59:52,790 --> 02:59:53,950
And then, hey, Dad, look over here.

5021
02:59:54,610 --> 02:59:55,830
And then you have to get his picture

5022
02:59:55,830 --> 02:59:56,850
in the little room.

5023
02:59:57,090 --> 02:59:57,450
You always have...

5024
02:59:57,450 --> 02:59:59,090
You're going to have pictures of your dad

5025
02:59:59,090 --> 03:00:00,110
on your phone anyway.

5026
03:00:00,270 --> 03:00:00,470
No, no.

5027
03:00:00,730 --> 03:00:01,590
No, it's not.

5028
03:00:01,710 --> 03:00:03,130
I'm telling you, it's a lot more difficult

5029
03:00:03,130 --> 03:00:04,690
than you think.

5030
03:00:05,410 --> 03:00:07,230
Kids are smarter than you think then.

5031
03:00:20,950 --> 03:00:22,450
You heard it here first.

5032
03:00:22,570 --> 03:00:23,950
Kids are smarter than you think.

5033
03:00:24,210 --> 03:00:25,590
That's some boomer talk for you.

5034
03:00:25,810 --> 03:00:27,230
We're just two old guys.

5035
03:00:27,330 --> 03:00:27,970
What do we know?

5036
03:00:29,430 --> 03:00:31,850
And we do know that we have several

5037
03:00:31,850 --> 03:00:34,490
people we'd like to thank who supported the

5038
03:00:34,490 --> 03:00:35,050
show today.

5039
03:00:35,150 --> 03:00:37,470
Value for value, $50 and above.

5040
03:00:37,610 --> 03:00:38,830
John is going to take us through it.

5041
03:00:38,830 --> 03:00:40,330
And it's not that many.

5042
03:00:40,770 --> 03:00:40,870
No.

5043
03:00:43,390 --> 03:00:45,690
Brian Keefe is the top of the list

5044
03:00:45,690 --> 03:00:46,970
in Sierra Vista, Arizona.

5045
03:00:47,070 --> 03:00:48,310
One, two, four, three, three.

5046
03:00:48,530 --> 03:00:49,350

03:00:50,170 --> 03:00:52,950
This is the last of the Trump inauguration

Did it.

5082
03:02:03,670 --> 03:02:04,590
People get it.

5083
03:02:04,730 --> 03:02:05,910
You could have done it a little better.

5084
03:02:06,630 --> 03:02:09,410
Kevin McLaughlin, Concord, North Carolina, shows up with

5085
03:02:09,410 --> 03:02:10,150

03:03:04,550 --> 03:03:05,730
Already at the 50s.

5108
03:03:06,230 --> 03:03:08,870

03:03:20,750 --> 03:03:25,410
sorry, Alexis Robles in Chula Vista, California, calling

5114
03:03:25,410 --> 03:03:27,050

his 17 years of leadership at Twin Piping.

5119
03:03:36,170 --> 03:03:39,490
If you want some piping, if you want

5120
03:03:39,490 --> 03:03:41,810
some piping, Twin Piping are the guys for

5121
03:03:41,810 --> 03:03:42,090
you.

5122
03:03:42,190 --> 03:03:42,830
That's right.

5123
03:03:43,210 --> 03:03:44,170
Thank you all very much.

5124
03:03:44,210 --> 03:03:45,710
Especially you want to thank those who came

5125
03:03:45,710 --> 03:03:47,470
in under 50 because they don't get mentioned,

5126
03:03:47,550 --> 03:03:49,250
but that's for reasons of anonymity, which is

5127
03:03:49,250 --> 03:03:52,310
important that we do not blow their cover.

5128
03:03:52,450 --> 03:03:54,630
So I see you, $49.99. And of

5129
03:03:54,630 --> 03:03:57,150
course, we have that wonderful opportunity to give

5130
03:03:57,150 --> 03:04:00,850

Yes.

5133
03:04:03,590 --> 03:04:05,110
And there's one note you're going to have

5134
03:04:05,110 --> 03:04:06,570
to read because it's a knighting note on

5135

line 67.

5136
03:04:13,090 --> 03:04:14,090
Line 67.

5137
03:04:14,550 --> 03:04:14,990
67.

5138
03:04:16,310 --> 03:04:18,430
Yeah, no, I have the note.

5139
03:04:18,730 --> 03:04:19,970
It's all set.

5140
03:04:20,090 --> 03:04:21,670
Yeah, that's Sir Nathan Lee.

5141
03:04:21,810 --> 03:04:22,070

We have that note in the preparatory documents,

5143
03:04:26,910 --> 03:04:29,910
which soon will just be done by AI.

5144
03:04:30,090 --> 03:04:30,990
You don't have to worry about it.

5145
03:04:31,190 --> 03:04:32,550
AI is going to take care of everything

5146
03:04:32,550 --> 03:04:33,010

03:04:33,070 --> 03:04:33,590
It's going to be great.

03:04:36,590 --> 03:04:38,250
Set your own amount and the frequency.

5150
03:04:38,450 --> 03:04:39,110
Make it recurring.

5157
03:04:52,790 --> 03:04:53,550
A very happy birthday.

5158
03:04:53,690 --> 03:04:56,170
She turned one year old yesterday.

5159
03:04:56,670 --> 03:04:59,250
Gene Knauss says happy birthday to her wonderful

5160
03:04:59,250 --> 03:05:02,390
husband Herman, turning 76 on the 27th.

5161
03:05:02,610 --> 03:05:04,730
Sir Island Dog, which is his wife Dame

5162
03:05:04,730 --> 03:05:06,010
Janet of Dog Nation.

5163
03:05:06,150 --> 03:05:06,850
A very happy one.

5164
03:05:06,930 --> 03:05:08,950
She turned 70 on the 27th.

5165
03:05:08,950 --> 03:05:12,490
And Sean Holman of StealthArms.net, which is

5166
03:05:12,490 --> 03:05:13,510
his wife Liz.

5167
03:05:13,670 --> 03:05:14,450
A happy birthday.

5168
03:05:14,590 --> 03:05:17,130
And of course, we join in the celebrations

5169
03:05:17,130 --> 03:05:18,930

5170
03:05:18,930 --> 03:05:20,830

03:05:27,690 --> 03:05:33,430
Yes, indeed.

5172
03:05:33,550 --> 03:05:36,050
We have a title change for Sir Nathan

5173
03:05:36,050 --> 03:05:36,490
Lee.

5174
03:05:36,990 --> 03:05:39,290
He becomes a baron today and he says,

5175
03:05:39,350 --> 03:05:40,490
I'm long over baron.

5176
03:05:40,550 --> 03:05:42,230
Just wanted to announce that on this occasion.

5177
03:05:43,310 --> 03:05:46,610
1733 is an important note, a date, a

5178
03:05:46,610 --> 03:05:48,930
show number for him because that's when modern

5179
03:05:48,930 --> 03:05:50,290
Freemasonry began.

5180
03:05:50,870 --> 03:05:52,410
So we'd like to take this opportunity.

5181
03:05:52,630 --> 03:05:54,810
He wants his baron title to be Baron

5182
03:05:54,810 --> 03:05:57,550
Nathan Lee of Nantucket, whose title so long,

5183
03:05:57,650 --> 03:05:58,210
you'll love it.

5184
03:05:58,610 --> 03:05:59,570
He says with a grin.

5185
03:05:59,910 --> 03:06:00,450
knowagendadonations.com.

5186
03:06:00,470 --> 03:06:01,310
I would like to thank you for your

5187
03:06:01,310 --> 03:06:01,650
courage.

5188
03:06:02,070 --> 03:06:05,070
Protectorate of Massachusetts owned island of Nantucket.

5189
03:06:05,070 --> 03:06:07,170
If that passes the board, I believe so.

5190
03:06:07,230 --> 03:06:07,610
Very good.

5191
03:06:07,690 --> 03:06:08,450
Happy to accommodate.

5192
03:06:09,190 --> 03:06:11,170
Feel free to just say Baron Nathan Lee

5193
03:06:11,170 --> 03:06:11,990
of Nantucket.

5194
03:06:12,070 --> 03:06:12,910
Well, there you go.

5195
03:06:13,490 --> 03:06:14,890
And of course, you may know him as

5196
03:06:14,890 --> 03:06:18,090
a cult fan, dark journalist for you UFO

5197
03:06:18,090 --> 03:06:18,870
truthers.

5198
03:06:19,850 --> 03:06:20,870
Baron Nathan Lee.

5199
03:06:21,050 --> 03:06:21,590
Welcome, brother.

5200
03:06:21,710 --> 03:06:23,890
Thank you very much for your continued support.

5201
03:06:23,950 --> 03:06:25,930
He also does the Red 33, Red 33

5202
03:06:25,930 --> 03:06:27,730
meetups in Boston.

5203
03:06:28,350 --> 03:06:32,170
And he is a longtime supporter.

5204
03:06:32,290 --> 03:06:32,910
We appreciate it.

5205
03:06:32,950 --> 03:06:35,210
Then we have the dame, which came through

5206
03:06:35,210 --> 03:06:36,130
a switcheroo.

5207
03:06:36,290 --> 03:06:37,810
So if you can grab a blade there,

5208
03:06:37,870 --> 03:06:38,750
that'd be very helpful.

5209
03:06:39,250 --> 03:06:40,050
There you go.

5210
03:06:40,130 --> 03:06:41,310
The big boy.

5211
03:06:46,190 --> 03:06:47,230
Step on up.

5212
03:06:47,290 --> 03:06:48,850
Thanks to your hubby who loves you very

5213
03:06:48,850 --> 03:06:49,250
much.

5214
03:06:49,590 --> 03:06:50,810
You become a dame today.

5215
03:06:50,950 --> 03:06:53,090
And I'm very proud to pronounce you as

5216
03:06:53,090 --> 03:06:55,630
Dame Liz of Roxyville.

5217
03:06:55,790 --> 03:06:57,730
For you, we've got the Rent Boys and

5218
03:06:57,730 --> 03:06:58,410
the Chardonnay.

5219
03:06:58,810 --> 03:07:00,830
We have warm beer and cold women and

5220
03:07:00,830 --> 03:07:01,730
probably one like that.

5221
03:07:01,830 --> 03:07:02,510
What else do we have?

5222
03:07:02,590 --> 03:07:04,990
We have Masticholi and margaritas.

5223
03:07:05,170 --> 03:07:06,350
Maybe nice beer and blunts.

5224
03:07:06,510 --> 03:07:06,910
How about that?

5225
03:07:07,390 --> 03:07:08,230
Gases and sake.

5226
03:07:08,450 --> 03:07:08,830
I don't know.

5227
03:07:08,990 --> 03:07:11,170
Vodka, vanilla, bong hits and bourbon, sparkling cider

5228
03:07:11,170 --> 03:07:11,770
and escorch.

5229
03:07:11,970 --> 03:07:13,690
How about some ginger ale and gerbils?

5230
03:07:13,770 --> 03:07:14,570
It's always a favorite.

5231
03:07:15,070 --> 03:07:16,990
Also, we have the breast milk and pablum.

5232
03:07:17,170 --> 03:07:19,810
But for you, Dame Liz, I'm thinking that

5233
03:07:19,810 --> 03:07:21,750
mutton and mead will serve you just right.

5234
03:07:21,850 --> 03:07:23,550
Your husband did not ask for anything else

5235
03:07:23,550 --> 03:07:24,250
at the round table.

5236
03:07:24,430 --> 03:07:27,590
But you, Dame Liz, go to noagenderrings.com.

5237
03:07:27,690 --> 03:07:29,850
There you will find our very attractive rings

5238
03:07:29,850 --> 03:07:30,850
for nights and for dames.

5239
03:07:31,250 --> 03:07:32,270
It's a signet ring.

5240
03:07:32,430 --> 03:07:33,870
If you can actually hit someone in the

5241
03:07:33,870 --> 03:07:34,850
mouth, it'll leave a mark.

5242
03:07:35,010 --> 03:07:37,290
Or you can seal your important correspondence, your

5243
03:07:37,290 --> 03:07:39,770
envelopes with the wax that we provide with

5244
03:07:39,770 --> 03:07:39,890
it.

5245
03:07:39,950 --> 03:07:41,490
And as always, it comes with a certificate

5246
03:07:41,490 --> 03:07:43,430
of authenticity signed by John and myself.

5247
03:07:43,830 --> 03:07:44,390
You are a knight.

5248
03:07:44,630 --> 03:07:45,390
I mean, a dame.

5249
03:07:45,930 --> 03:07:46,950
Congratulations, Dame Liz.

5250
03:07:54,230 --> 03:07:54,930
That's right.

5251
03:07:55,150 --> 03:07:57,350
Connection is protection at the No Agenda Meetups.

5252
03:07:57,410 --> 03:07:59,150
It's where you meet the first responders in

5253
03:07:59,150 --> 03:07:59,530
your life.

5254
03:07:59,630 --> 03:08:00,890
You'll be able to count on them.

5255
03:08:01,390 --> 03:08:04,410
This is where you're awkward, you're perfect.

5256
03:08:05,130 --> 03:08:07,030
That's what the No Agenda Meetups are all

5257
03:08:07,030 --> 03:08:07,210
about.

5258
03:08:07,310 --> 03:08:09,050
You can be yourself, because it doesn't matter

5259
03:08:09,050 --> 03:08:09,910
where you come from.

5260
03:08:09,950 --> 03:08:11,030
You have one thing in common.

5261
03:08:11,150 --> 03:08:12,770
You are all members of No Agenda Nation.

5262
03:08:12,890 --> 03:08:14,570
You're citizens of No Agenda Nation.

5263
03:08:15,030 --> 03:08:16,490
You all have the show in common.

5264
03:08:16,610 --> 03:08:19,570
You all have the media deconstruction in your

5265
03:08:19,570 --> 03:08:19,890
mind.

5266
03:08:20,330 --> 03:08:22,470
It is a perfect opportunity to meet people,

5267
03:08:22,690 --> 03:08:24,350
to hang out with people, have a drink.

5268
03:08:24,370 --> 03:08:25,530
It's a good reason to go to a

5269
03:08:25,530 --> 03:08:25,710
bar.

5270
03:08:25,710 --> 03:08:27,150
And we have some meetups.

5271
03:08:27,290 --> 03:08:28,030
The Indy Meetup.

5272
03:08:28,150 --> 03:08:29,090
This is from January.

5273
03:08:29,330 --> 03:08:30,210
Always a killer.

5274
03:08:30,370 --> 03:08:32,550
Hello, this is Dame Maria, straight back from

5275
03:08:32,550 --> 03:08:32,970
Amsterdam.

5276
03:08:33,410 --> 03:08:35,250
And this is Sir Mark Murray, the Dame

5277
03:08:35,250 --> 03:08:35,530
Maria.

5278
03:08:37,710 --> 03:08:40,890
Sir Benny, through wind, snow, sleet, or hail,

5279
03:08:41,010 --> 03:08:42,630
we're going to show up for a goddamn

5280
03:08:42,630 --> 03:08:43,690
No Agenda Meeting.

5281
03:08:44,010 --> 03:08:45,870
In the morning, Dame Swanee.

5282
03:08:46,010 --> 03:08:47,770
In the morning, John and Adam, Sir PBR

5283
03:08:47,770 --> 03:08:48,350
Street Gang.

5284
03:08:48,450 --> 03:08:50,070
Just a reminder to everyone out there and

5285
03:08:50,070 --> 03:08:52,630
get donation that Indy still has the A

5286
03:08:52,630 --> 03:08:53,490
number one meetup.

5287
03:08:53,650 --> 03:08:53,990
Thank you.

5288
03:08:54,130 --> 03:08:56,050
In the morning, Dame Trinity, having a great

5289
03:08:56,050 --> 03:08:57,110
time in Indy as always.

5290
03:08:57,230 --> 03:08:58,010
Thank you for your courage.

5291
03:08:58,230 --> 03:08:59,610
Adam and John, this is Shannon visiting from

5292
03:08:59,610 --> 03:09:00,110
Fort Wayne.

5293
03:09:00,350 --> 03:09:02,590
And Adam, I submitted a sound sample to

5294
03:09:02,590 --> 03:09:04,090
the Maury Povich Show, and you'll never guess

5295
03:09:04,090 --> 03:09:04,470
the result.

5296
03:09:04,750 --> 03:09:05,890
You are the podfather.

5297
03:09:06,210 --> 03:09:08,130
Prisky here, just drinking some beers at the

5298
03:09:08,130 --> 03:09:08,910
Blind Isle.

5299
03:09:09,110 --> 03:09:10,330
In the morning, John and Adam, this is

5300
03:09:10,330 --> 03:09:12,650
Emily, and I'm over this cold.

5301
03:09:13,070 --> 03:09:13,710
Gary here.

5302
03:09:13,990 --> 03:09:16,250
As of the recording, eight more days until

5303
03:09:16,250 --> 03:09:17,790
the third act of the movie starts.

5304
03:09:18,130 --> 03:09:19,350
Grab your popcorn, people.

5305
03:09:19,490 --> 03:09:20,350
This should be interesting.

5306
03:09:20,750 --> 03:09:22,370
In the morning, News Mod of the Midwest,

5307
03:09:22,570 --> 03:09:23,630
happy new world order.

5308
03:09:23,930 --> 03:09:25,430
In the morning, John and Adam, this is

5309
03:09:25,430 --> 03:09:25,770
Nick.

5310
03:09:26,170 --> 03:09:28,050
California is going to fall into the ocean.

5311
03:09:28,510 --> 03:09:30,590
China is going to occupy the place.

5312
03:09:30,870 --> 03:09:31,530
And John C.

5313
03:09:31,570 --> 03:09:33,630
Dvorak will still be like, oh, it's great.

5314
03:09:33,710 --> 03:09:34,450
I love it here.

5315
03:09:34,670 --> 03:09:36,370
This is Granny here at the Blind Isle,

5316
03:09:36,490 --> 03:09:38,450
hanging out with this riffraff and giving them

5317
03:09:38,450 --> 03:09:41,030
some drinks and having a good time.

5318
03:09:41,490 --> 03:09:43,810
Adios, mofos.

5319
03:09:43,810 --> 03:09:47,070
Bye, bye, bye, dude.

5320
03:09:47,450 --> 03:09:48,850
Yeah, I love it when you bring in

5321
03:09:48,850 --> 03:09:49,350
your servers.

5322
03:09:49,450 --> 03:09:50,210
That's always fun.

5323
03:09:50,210 --> 03:09:52,390
Thank you, Damonette, for putting that together.

5324
03:09:52,510 --> 03:09:54,870
Now we go to Fredericksburg, Virginia, for the

5325
03:09:54,870 --> 03:09:56,090
Arcade Party Meetup.

5326
03:09:56,250 --> 03:09:59,110
Hi, it's Happy in Virginia at the Arcade

5327
03:09:59,110 --> 03:10:02,950
Meetup in Fredericksburg, again, back by popular demand.

5328
03:10:03,270 --> 03:10:04,010
This is Roundy.

5329
03:10:04,070 --> 03:10:05,510
I played a lot of video games here

5330
03:10:05,510 --> 03:10:06,730
and picked up a nice virus.

5331
03:10:07,230 --> 03:10:08,570
Uh, Jeffress Springfield in the morning.

5332
03:10:09,030 --> 03:10:10,610
Hey, this is Sir William of West Pennsylvania

5333
03:10:10,610 --> 03:10:11,770
from Alexandria.

5334
03:10:12,210 --> 03:10:15,270
Train's good, plane's bad, and that's it.

5335
03:10:15,650 --> 03:10:18,470
Hi, this is Roy from Spotsvania, Virginia, and

5336
03:10:18,470 --> 03:10:19,890
the beer's great.

5337
03:10:20,050 --> 03:10:21,390
Sir Harry Pilgrim here at the Baron of

5338
03:10:21,390 --> 03:10:22,050
Massaponix.

5339
03:10:22,630 --> 03:10:25,050
I realized I'm not quite the pinball wizard

5340
03:10:25,050 --> 03:10:25,950
I used to be.

5341
03:10:26,090 --> 03:10:28,910
People are playing games so hard, night rings

5342
03:10:28,910 --> 03:10:30,730
are falling off onto the floor.

5343
03:10:31,110 --> 03:10:31,470
Yeah.

5344
03:10:31,850 --> 03:10:33,710
Hi, this is Sarah from Richmond, and as

5345
03:10:33,710 --> 03:10:35,110
always, life is a scam.

5346
03:10:35,810 --> 03:10:39,030
ITM, where's the Due to Climate Change ringtone

5347
03:10:39,030 --> 03:10:39,730
on Phone Boy?

5348
03:10:40,050 --> 03:10:41,410
This is Tom Starkweather.

5349
03:10:41,570 --> 03:10:45,970
I'm enjoying our second Reclaim Arcade Meetup.

5350
03:10:46,230 --> 03:10:47,390
In the morning!

5351
03:10:48,170 --> 03:10:50,570
I gotta tell you that Roundy, Roundy always

5352
03:10:50,570 --> 03:10:53,350
makes these beautiful no-agenda signs, and he

5353
03:10:53,350 --> 03:10:54,270
takes them to the meetup.

5354
03:10:54,450 --> 03:10:56,310
Like, you know, like, not just, like, actual

5355
03:10:56,310 --> 03:10:58,150
letters that stand on the table.

5356
03:10:58,290 --> 03:10:59,230
It's really cool.

5357
03:10:59,570 --> 03:11:01,010
I wouldn't mind having one of those.

5358
03:11:01,150 --> 03:11:03,130
It's just, he's, he's a great participant.

5359
03:11:03,630 --> 03:11:05,250
Doesn't do any more art for us, because,

5360
03:11:05,350 --> 03:11:06,630
you know, he's getting paid for it, and

5361
03:11:06,630 --> 03:11:08,250
so he doesn't do that.

5362
03:11:08,610 --> 03:11:11,410
He won his couple of times, and that

5363
03:11:11,410 --> 03:11:12,310
was...

5364
03:11:12,310 --> 03:11:13,790
Now I got a job.

5365
03:11:14,030 --> 03:11:14,730
I'm good to go.

5366
03:11:14,970 --> 03:11:16,230
I'm not gonna do this anymore.

5367
03:11:16,850 --> 03:11:18,790
And have you ever wondered what happens if

5368
03:11:18,790 --> 03:11:22,270
you give a world-renowned, award-winning architect,

5369
03:11:23,010 --> 03:11:26,010
garage band, and a meetup, and a phone,

5370
03:11:26,170 --> 03:11:28,270
and tell him, hey, put together a meetup

5371
03:11:28,270 --> 03:11:28,590
report?

5372
03:11:28,710 --> 03:11:31,110
Well, that's what you get from Tokyo with

5373
03:11:31,110 --> 03:11:31,630
Sir Mark.

5374
03:11:31,950 --> 03:11:33,870
Hi, John and Adam, Tokyo calling.

5375
03:11:34,490 --> 03:11:36,950
We're having a really great meetup here tonight.

5376
03:11:37,110 --> 03:11:39,990
We have 14, 15 people from all over

5377
03:11:39,990 --> 03:11:42,190
Japan, some visitors from the U.S. as

5378
03:11:42,190 --> 03:11:42,450
well.

5379
03:11:42,750 --> 03:11:43,750
It's been really amazing.

5380
03:11:44,330 --> 03:11:46,170
We're holding it at Ten Cups in Shibuya.

5381
03:11:46,510 --> 03:11:49,310
Really fantastic bar, and everybody wants to say

5382
03:11:49,310 --> 03:11:49,590
hi.

5383
03:11:49,930 --> 03:11:51,070
Hey, guys.

5384
03:11:52,030 --> 03:11:53,990
This is El Mexicano.

5385
03:11:54,130 --> 03:11:55,930
This is Tokyo in the morning.

5386
03:11:56,730 --> 03:11:58,950
Hi, guys, and this is his wife that

5387
03:11:58,950 --> 03:11:59,990
he punched in the mouth.

5388
03:12:00,250 --> 03:12:01,370
And a little human resort.

5389
03:12:01,970 --> 03:12:05,330
Sir 3D, Whiskey 5, India Tango Mic.

5390
03:12:05,470 --> 03:12:10,050
I flew here from ITM, Osaka airport, to

5391
03:12:10,050 --> 03:12:11,590
check out this hui hui.

5392
03:12:11,970 --> 03:12:12,870
Hey, Adam and John C.

5393
03:12:12,910 --> 03:12:13,470
This is Brandon.

5394
03:12:13,730 --> 03:12:14,250
This is David.

5395
03:12:14,630 --> 03:12:15,210
This is Harold.

5396
03:12:17,250 --> 03:12:18,990
In the morning, John and Adam, this is

5397
03:12:18,990 --> 03:12:19,270
Casey.

5398
03:12:19,650 --> 03:12:21,210
In the morning, John and Adam, this is

5399
03:12:21,210 --> 03:12:21,650
Alexander.

5400
03:12:21,990 --> 03:12:23,030
I've got hairy legs.

5401
03:12:23,350 --> 03:12:24,670
This is producer Pete in Japan.

5402
03:12:25,090 --> 03:12:26,530
Yo, yo, come back.

5403
03:12:26,750 --> 03:12:27,450
Come back, Adam.

5404
03:12:27,690 --> 03:12:30,270
In the morning, boys, this is the pursuit

5405
03:12:30,270 --> 03:12:32,270
of peace and tranquility.

5406
03:12:32,570 --> 03:12:33,690
Okay, Adam, John.

5407
03:12:36,190 --> 03:12:43,390
Hi, Adam and John.

5408
03:12:43,610 --> 03:12:47,410
Dame Astrid here in Tokyo, where we also

5409
03:12:47,410 --> 03:12:49,850
like the weather report.

5410
03:12:50,070 --> 03:12:53,290
It's a beautiful starry night, and it's seven

5411
03:12:53,290 --> 03:12:53,950
degrees.

5412
03:12:54,670 --> 03:12:56,950
I also like those two words, and I

5413
03:12:56,950 --> 03:12:59,330
was waiting to get them out to you.

5414
03:12:59,870 --> 03:13:05,310
It's unvarnished veracity, and it's so fitting to

5415
03:13:05,310 --> 03:13:05,970
No Agenda.

5416
03:13:06,290 --> 03:13:06,810
See ya.

5417
03:13:07,050 --> 03:13:08,370
Hey, I'm just in the edit, and I've

5418
03:13:08,370 --> 03:13:10,570
realized I've lost producer Steve's clip.

5419
03:13:10,710 --> 03:13:11,430
I'm so sorry.

5420
03:13:11,910 --> 03:13:13,770
Anyway, we want to thank everybody for their

5421
03:13:13,770 --> 03:13:16,090
courage for coming out tonight to the No

5422
03:13:16,090 --> 03:13:18,630
Agenda Tokyo No Cheesecake Meetup.

5423
03:13:18,870 --> 03:13:19,470
See you soon.

5424
03:13:19,950 --> 03:13:20,910
Moshi moshi.

5425
03:13:22,110 --> 03:13:23,330
Unvarnished veracity.

5426
03:13:23,630 --> 03:13:25,690
That's who we are, according to Dame Astrid.

5427
03:13:25,850 --> 03:13:27,210
I kind of like that.

5428
03:13:27,930 --> 03:13:29,410
You know that there's some dudes in there

5429
03:13:29,410 --> 03:13:31,670
who said something really rank in Japanese.

5430
03:13:32,610 --> 03:13:33,630
Yeah, of course.

5431
03:13:33,870 --> 03:13:34,890
That's what you do.

5432
03:13:34,990 --> 03:13:35,850
That's what you do, exactly.

5433
03:13:36,290 --> 03:13:38,830
Hey, the PSYOP seasonal meetup is underway today

5434
03:13:38,830 --> 03:13:40,910
as we speak at Toby's Bar and Grill

5435
03:13:40,910 --> 03:13:41,610
in Toronto.

5436
03:13:42,290 --> 03:13:44,350
The Cow Peak No Agenda Meetup of the

5437
03:13:44,350 --> 03:13:46,750
Black Hills also underway at Crow Peak Brewing

5438
03:13:46,750 --> 03:13:48,150
in Spearfield, South Dakota.

5439
03:13:48,610 --> 03:13:52,030
The TMI EVAC Zone Fortune Cookie Meetup also

5440
03:13:52,030 --> 03:13:54,750
underway in Evergreen Brewing, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.

5441
03:13:54,910 --> 03:13:55,890
You can probably still catch them.

5442
03:13:56,550 --> 03:13:58,270
On Thursday, our next show day, the North

5443
03:13:58,270 --> 03:14:00,350
Georgia Monthly Meetup will kick in at six

5444
03:14:00,350 --> 03:14:02,370
o'clock at Cherry Street Brewing in Alfreda,

5445
03:14:02,450 --> 03:14:02,710
Georgia.

5446
03:14:03,070 --> 03:14:05,670
And a special note, the Northern Silicon Valley

5447
03:14:05,670 --> 03:14:08,090
Get John Out of the House Meetup 6

5448
03:14:08,090 --> 03:14:11,410
.0 is taking place, I believe, on, is

5449
03:14:11,410 --> 03:14:12,710
that February 1st, John?

5450
03:14:12,770 --> 03:14:13,590
Are you booked for that?

5451
03:14:13,690 --> 03:14:15,290
I believe so, at the Mallard Club.

5452
03:14:15,410 --> 03:14:16,450
And you're going, right?

5453
03:14:16,530 --> 03:14:18,830
Because people love hanging out with you.

5454
03:14:18,930 --> 03:14:19,370
That's it.

5455
03:14:19,370 --> 03:14:21,070
On No Agenda Meetups, there's many more that

5456
03:14:21,070 --> 03:14:23,710
can be found on noagendameetups.com.

5457
03:14:23,930 --> 03:14:25,570
Go to noagendameetups.com.

5458
03:14:25,670 --> 03:14:27,910
You can search by location, by time, by

5459
03:14:27,910 --> 03:14:28,790
calendar, by date.

5460
03:14:29,190 --> 03:14:30,750
Thank you, Sir Daniel, for keeping that running,

5461
03:14:30,870 --> 03:14:32,610
and Mimi, for doing all the back office

5462
03:14:32,610 --> 03:14:32,910
work.

5463
03:14:33,210 --> 03:14:34,750
Soon to be taken over by AI.

5464
03:14:34,850 --> 03:14:36,330
It's going to do all that work for

5465
03:14:36,330 --> 03:14:36,530
us.

5466
03:14:36,970 --> 03:14:38,350
Go to noagendameetups.com.

5467
03:14:38,390 --> 03:14:39,730
If you can't find one near you, start

5468
03:14:39,730 --> 03:14:40,210
one yourself.

5469
03:14:40,550 --> 03:14:43,210
Sometimes you want to go hang out with

5470
03:14:43,210 --> 03:14:45,930
all the nights and days.

5471
03:14:46,950 --> 03:14:49,550
You want to be where you won't be,

5472
03:14:49,790 --> 03:14:51,650
triggered or held to blame.

5473
03:14:52,330 --> 03:14:55,430
You want to be where everybody feels the

5474
03:14:55,430 --> 03:14:56,150
same.

5475
03:14:57,870 --> 03:14:59,390
It's like a party.

5476
03:15:00,370 --> 03:15:01,230
It always is.

5477
03:15:01,650 --> 03:15:03,570
It is always like a party.

5478
03:15:03,750 --> 03:15:05,750
I love hearing those reports from all over

5479
03:15:05,750 --> 03:15:06,110
the world.

5480
03:15:06,210 --> 03:15:07,770
It makes us sound so international.

5481
03:15:08,530 --> 03:15:09,730
You know, because we are.

5482
03:15:09,790 --> 03:15:10,310
We're international.

5483
03:15:10,450 --> 03:15:11,370
It's not just America.

5484
03:15:11,630 --> 03:15:12,470
It's international.

5485
03:15:12,710 --> 03:15:13,310
People love it.

5486
03:15:13,970 --> 03:15:15,950
So we have an ISO off.

5487
03:15:16,370 --> 03:15:18,330
We only each have one ISO, which makes

5488
03:15:18,330 --> 03:15:18,970
total sense.

5489
03:15:19,130 --> 03:15:21,850
You have the carryover from last show, which

5490
03:15:21,850 --> 03:15:22,730
I think is a good one.

5491
03:15:22,990 --> 03:15:23,970
I will play it.

5492
03:15:24,190 --> 03:15:24,870
I remember it.

5493
03:15:24,930 --> 03:15:25,670
It's two guys.

5494
03:15:25,970 --> 03:15:27,650
These two guys are so cute.

5495
03:15:28,290 --> 03:15:30,570
And all I have to compete with you

5496
03:15:30,570 --> 03:15:31,250
is this one.

5497
03:15:31,290 --> 03:15:33,030
It's so crazy.

5498
03:15:33,030 --> 03:15:34,050
It's crazy.

5499
03:15:37,130 --> 03:15:37,630
Muddy.

5500
03:15:38,650 --> 03:15:40,570
These two guys are so cute.

5501
03:15:40,570 --> 03:15:41,970
That's the one we're going with.

5502
03:15:42,070 --> 03:15:43,610
And now, of course, it's time for the

5503
03:15:43,610 --> 03:15:45,510
only at John Sipper today.

5504
03:15:54,270 --> 03:16:01,310
So I have a sense with this theme

5505
03:16:01,310 --> 03:16:03,450
of today's show seems to be AI.

5506
03:16:05,170 --> 03:16:07,430
I'm jumping to an AI product.

5507
03:16:08,730 --> 03:16:09,730
OK, wow.

5508
03:16:10,310 --> 03:16:14,230
And this is a thing called hot.

5509
03:16:14,350 --> 03:16:16,170
It's hot pot.

5510
03:16:16,710 --> 03:16:18,190
Dot A.I. is the website.

5511
03:16:18,350 --> 03:16:19,830
Hot, hot, hot, hot.

5512
03:16:20,010 --> 03:16:21,650
They can't do a hot spot because that's

5513
03:16:21,650 --> 03:16:22,990
been somebody sitting on that.

5514
03:16:23,030 --> 03:16:23,930
But it's hot pot.

5515
03:16:24,010 --> 03:16:24,310
Yes.

5516
03:16:24,490 --> 03:16:28,290
Dot A.I. And it has a million

5517
03:16:28,290 --> 03:16:32,850
different functions that are mostly free to use.

5518
03:16:32,850 --> 03:16:34,130
But they have this system.

5519
03:16:34,190 --> 03:16:35,430
They want to try to make money.

5520
03:16:36,490 --> 03:16:37,470
Sorry, I have to laugh.

5521
03:16:38,010 --> 03:16:39,530
OK, they're going to try to make money

5522
03:16:39,530 --> 03:16:43,410
using a tokens, a tokenized system, which is

5523
03:16:43,410 --> 03:16:44,950
the way where you say, I'm going to

5524
03:16:44,950 --> 03:16:46,050
buy X number of credits.

5525
03:16:46,550 --> 03:16:48,410
And for this, I need three credits.

5526
03:16:48,490 --> 03:16:49,830
And for that, I need two credits and

5527
03:16:49,830 --> 03:16:50,270
do this.

5528
03:16:50,350 --> 03:16:52,650
I got five credits to buy 100 credits.

5529
03:16:52,730 --> 03:16:53,350
You buy a thousand.

5530
03:16:53,650 --> 03:16:54,650
It's just OK.

5531
03:16:55,150 --> 03:16:56,890
They've gamified it.

5532
03:16:57,450 --> 03:16:58,110
Good luck.

5533
03:16:59,390 --> 03:17:00,650
But this thing does.

5534
03:17:00,830 --> 03:17:03,850
I mean, this is the most comprehensive series

5535
03:17:03,850 --> 03:17:05,930
of A.I. products I've ever seen.

5536
03:17:06,690 --> 03:17:08,130
It'll create art.

5537
03:17:08,290 --> 03:17:10,130
It will edit photos.

5538
03:17:10,790 --> 03:17:12,090
It will do.

5539
03:17:12,570 --> 03:17:16,990
It'll create posting robots, posts, logos.

5540
03:17:17,630 --> 03:17:19,070
I mean, people should look at this.

5541
03:17:19,110 --> 03:17:20,950
It's a really fascinating.

5542
03:17:21,350 --> 03:17:23,190
Can it do the spreadsheet for us?

5543
03:17:24,290 --> 03:17:25,310
That's coming.

5544
03:17:26,190 --> 03:17:28,490
And the meetup calendar, all that can be

5545
03:17:28,490 --> 03:17:28,630
done.

5546
03:17:28,790 --> 03:17:30,090
Yeah, all that's coming.

5547
03:17:30,750 --> 03:17:32,750
And also do stuff that, you know, these

5548
03:17:32,750 --> 03:17:34,850
phones have these things, they remove someone from

5549
03:17:34,850 --> 03:17:35,330
a picture.

5550
03:17:35,470 --> 03:17:38,650
It'll do that rather effortlessly, you know, change

5551
03:17:38,650 --> 03:17:39,150
backgrounds.

5552
03:17:39,290 --> 03:17:40,730
It's actually pretty powerful.

5553
03:17:40,870 --> 03:17:42,630
It's something people should play with.

5554
03:17:42,830 --> 03:17:43,210
Can it code?

5555
03:17:43,230 --> 03:17:44,730
And our A.I. experts, I'd like to

5556
03:17:44,730 --> 03:17:45,630
get some feedback from.

5557
03:17:45,690 --> 03:17:46,730
Can it can it code?

5558
03:17:46,950 --> 03:17:47,510
Can it code?

5559
03:17:48,570 --> 03:17:49,530
No, this doesn't code.

5560
03:17:49,590 --> 03:17:50,130
It doesn't code.

5561
03:17:50,210 --> 03:17:51,030
And what's it called again?

5562
03:17:51,070 --> 03:17:52,590
Just so we can put it in the

5563
03:17:52,590 --> 03:17:54,570
right hot pot as in the, you know,

5564
03:17:54,610 --> 03:17:55,610
the Chinese dish.

5565
03:17:55,770 --> 03:17:55,870
Yes.

5566
03:17:56,010 --> 03:17:56,650
Hot pot.

5567
03:17:57,210 --> 03:17:57,310
Dot.

5568
03:17:57,410 --> 03:17:58,810
A.I. Hot pot.

5569
03:17:58,990 --> 03:17:59,190
Dot.

5570
03:17:59,270 --> 03:18:01,330
A.I. That, ladies and gentlemen, is your

5571
03:18:01,330 --> 03:18:02,370
tip of the day.

5572
03:18:02,470 --> 03:18:03,610
The one and only John C.

5573
03:18:03,690 --> 03:18:06,190
Dvorak delivers it to you every single show.

5574
03:18:13,310 --> 03:18:16,590
And sometimes Adam created by Dana Brunetti.

5575
03:18:16,730 --> 03:18:17,030
Yes.

5576
03:18:17,150 --> 03:18:19,030
Thank you very much, Dana Brunetti, for creating

5577
03:18:19,030 --> 03:18:19,230
it.

5578
03:18:19,290 --> 03:18:21,190
What would we do without Dana Brunetti?

5579
03:18:21,310 --> 03:18:21,990
We'd be lost.

5580
03:18:21,990 --> 03:18:24,310
There'll be almost no show.

5581
03:18:24,450 --> 03:18:25,070
I'm telling you.

5582
03:18:25,510 --> 03:18:27,170
Hey, that's it for today.

5583
03:18:28,010 --> 03:18:29,030
Too long.

5584
03:18:29,610 --> 03:18:30,230
Too long.

5585
03:18:31,090 --> 03:18:32,090
We delivered the value.

5586
03:18:32,470 --> 03:18:34,690
We'd love for you to consider sending some

5587
03:18:34,690 --> 03:18:35,490
value back.

5588
03:18:36,030 --> 03:18:37,910
We're not just doing it for our health,

5589
03:18:38,010 --> 03:18:42,130
you know, or maybe we are coming up.

5590
03:18:42,150 --> 03:18:43,610
We are doing it for our health, for

5591
03:18:43,610 --> 03:18:44,510
our mental health.

5592
03:18:44,870 --> 03:18:45,230
That's right.

5593
03:18:45,350 --> 03:18:46,170
Our mental health.

5594
03:18:46,190 --> 03:18:47,450
And we're doing good work.

5595
03:18:47,550 --> 03:18:49,490
And soon we can just take Ozempic and

5596
03:18:49,490 --> 03:18:50,750
not have to do this for our mental

5597
03:18:50,750 --> 03:18:51,050
health.

5598
03:18:51,150 --> 03:18:51,850
It's going to be great.

5599
03:18:52,030 --> 03:18:53,970
And for our E.D. It's fantastic.

5600
03:18:56,030 --> 03:18:56,970
Coming to you.

5601
03:18:57,090 --> 03:18:58,910

It's the booby trap where Dave has he

5607
03:19:11,550 --> 03:19:12,050
needs help.

5608
03:19:12,470 --> 03:19:13,650
He's a cry for help.

5609
03:19:13,730 --> 03:19:14,990

as a pro If you say origami, sensation,

5638
03:20:37,850 --> 03:20:41,310
atlantique, don't know All macarons know that, not

5639
03:20:41,310 --> 03:20:44,230
cheese But pieces, what about it goes?

5640
03:20:44,690 --> 03:20:47,390
Those kids are alone, they are in cages,

5641
03:20:47,630 --> 03:20:50,610
they are given peanut butter on tortillas They're

5642
03:20:50,610 --> 03:20:54,070
given frozen sandwiches that still have ice in

5643
03:20:54,070 --> 03:20:56,730
them Is that the kind of environment you

5644
03:20:56,730 --> 03:20:58,490
would want your kid to be in?

5645
03:20:58,490 --> 03:21:08,050
We don't need no immigration We

5646
03:21:08,050 --> 03:21:17,390
don't need no border patrol No peanut

5647
03:21:17,390 --> 03:21:27,370
butter enchilada Donald, leave the

5648
03:21:27,370 --> 03:21:37,730
kids alone Hey, Donald, leave

5649
03:21:37,730 --> 03:21:45,910
the kids alone All on its own, all

5650
03:21:45,910 --> 03:21:53,370
for funding you want All in all, it's

5651
03:21:53,370 --> 03:21:59,770
all, all for funding the wall Kirsten Nielsen

5652
03:21:59,770 --> 03:22:01,970
will not think that we are ruining your

5653
03:22:01,970 --> 03:22:06,330
dinner She is the secretary of DHS ICE

5654
03:22:06,330 --> 03:22:09,730
rips children apart from their families every day

5655
03:22:09,730 --> 03:22:12,350
They lock them up in cages, they sleep

5656
03:22:12,350 --> 03:22:20,460
under those silver blankets here Because Kirsten Nielsen's

5657
03:22:20,460 --> 03:22:26,030
staff tried to reunite them with their parents

5658
03:22:26,030 --> 03:22:37,990
Peanut butter

5659
03:22:37,990 --> 03:22:41,290
on tortillas, they're given frozen sandwiches that still

5660
03:22:41,290 --> 03:22:47,220
have ice in them That was a very

5661
03:22:47,220 --> 03:22:50,980
interesting comment, I thought That the idea of

5662
03:22:50,980 --> 03:22:55,080
giving these children tortillas with peanut butter And

5663
03:22:55,080 --> 03:22:56,420
some of them were out of the fridge,

5664
03:22:56,500 --> 03:22:58,400
they still had ice on them Is just

5665
03:22:58,400 --> 03:23:01,100
despicable to this woman It's just the whole

5666
03:23:01,100 --> 03:23:03,460
idea Meanwhile, I don't know if she has

5667
03:23:03,460 --> 03:23:05,360
kids, but she's probably feeding them mac and

5668
03:23:05,360 --> 03:23:08,600
cheese If they see any weakness, they will

5669
03:23:08,600 --> 03:23:12,240
come by the millions If they see any

5670
03:23:12,240 --> 03:23:18,460
weakness Zero tolerance for criminal aliens Zero, zero

5671
03:23:18,460 --> 03:23:21,780
When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending

5672
03:23:21,780 --> 03:23:25,440
their best They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime,

5673
03:23:26,040 --> 03:23:28,360
they're rapists And I will have Mexico pay

5674
03:23:28,360 --> 03:23:36,060
for that The best podcast in the universe

5675
03:23:36,060 --> 03:23:42,620
Adios, mofo Dvorak.org slash N-A These
