1
00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:02,550
Wow, that's a desert deadpool.

2
00:00:02,750 --> 00:00:04,490
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,610 --> 00:00:04,990
Devorah.

4
00:00:05,110 --> 00:00:06,910
It's Sunday, March 23rd, 2025.

5
00:00:07,270 --> 00:00:08,990
This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media

6
00:00:08,990 --> 00:00:11,390
Assassination Episode 1749.

7
00:00:11,690 --> 00:00:13,290
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:15,530 --> 00:00:17,390
Combating contagion and...

9
00:00:17,390 --> 00:00:19,530
Broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas

10
00:00:19,530 --> 00:00:21,710
Hill Country, right here in FEMA Region Number

11
00:00:21,710 --> 00:00:22,150
6.

12
00:00:22,610 --> 00:00:23,650
In the morning, everybody.

13
00:00:23,830 --> 00:00:24,590
I'm Adam Curry.

14
00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:27,230
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're saying,

15
00:00:27,230 --> 00:00:29,890
head for the hills, they're gonna deregulate ham

16
00:00:29,890 --> 00:00:30,470
radio.

17
00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:31,369
I'm John C.

18
00:00:31,430 --> 00:00:31,670
Devorah.

19
00:00:32,490 --> 00:00:34,030
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.

20
00:00:34,230 --> 00:00:35,250
In the morning.

21
00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:37,210
You know, I saw that.

22
00:00:37,390 --> 00:00:38,210
Was that the video?

23
00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:39,610
Did you see the video of that guy

24
00:00:39,610 --> 00:00:40,350
talking about it?

25
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:41,190
Yeah.

26
00:00:41,870 --> 00:00:43,170
He was, you know...

27
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:44,810
I would have clipped it, but the guy's

28
00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:45,790
so verbose.

29
00:00:46,130 --> 00:00:46,570
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

30
00:00:46,570 --> 00:00:48,330
Well, not just that, but it's a ten

31
00:00:48,330 --> 00:00:48,850
-minute video.

32
00:00:48,970 --> 00:00:50,270
And at eight minutes, he says, What does

33
00:00:50,270 --> 00:00:50,910
this all mean?

34
00:00:50,990 --> 00:00:51,890
I don't know.

35
00:00:53,050 --> 00:00:53,410
Exactly.

36
00:00:54,050 --> 00:00:55,090
It was stupid.

37
00:00:55,550 --> 00:00:55,690
Yeah.

38
00:00:55,690 --> 00:00:58,490
Why are you killing us with this time

39
00:00:58,490 --> 00:00:58,750
key?

40
00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:01,850
It was the worst kind of clickbait ever.

41
00:01:02,430 --> 00:01:04,810
Like, what the new FCC means for ham

42
00:01:04,810 --> 00:01:05,170
radio?

43
00:01:05,290 --> 00:01:06,270
I'm like, oh, man.

44
00:01:06,450 --> 00:01:08,430
It's either really good or really bad.

45
00:01:10,290 --> 00:01:12,450
And I am thinking, though, that it may

46
00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:15,990
be bad, because Starlink is appealing to the

47
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:18,110
FCC for more licensed spectrum.

48
00:01:18,850 --> 00:01:21,030
And that usually comes from the ham boys.

49
00:01:21,290 --> 00:01:23,330
Yeah, they always steal it from the hams.

50
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:26,210
Well, you know, there's this band over here

51
00:01:26,210 --> 00:01:27,710
nobody seems to be using.

52
00:01:29,650 --> 00:01:32,550
Yeah, never mind that the hams finally did

53
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:35,890
a good job in western North Carolina.

54
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:37,010
They did a great job there.

55
00:01:37,870 --> 00:01:38,190
It was good.

56
00:01:38,350 --> 00:01:39,050
Yeah, somebody had to.

57
00:01:39,110 --> 00:01:40,730
There was no communications whatsoever.

58
00:01:41,290 --> 00:01:41,570
No.

59
00:01:42,150 --> 00:01:43,890
And he got the Starlink.

60
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:45,050
He got no power.

61
00:01:45,130 --> 00:01:46,030
What difference does it make?

62
00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:48,150
The solar panels.

63
00:01:48,290 --> 00:01:49,650
The solar panels to the rescue.

64
00:01:49,650 --> 00:01:54,250
Well, speaking of such, I think in our

65
00:01:54,250 --> 00:01:58,630
more than 17 years of history, we have

66
00:01:58,630 --> 00:02:00,650
never gotten this one right.

67
00:02:01,230 --> 00:02:05,590
We always forget, and we always remind ourselves

68
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:06,870
to do better next year.

69
00:02:07,370 --> 00:02:09,810
Once again, we forgot.

70
00:02:10,170 --> 00:02:12,110
The Pacific Park Ferris wheel over on the

71
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:14,810
Santa Monica Pier joined other landmarks across the

72
00:02:14,810 --> 00:02:17,150
world today in going dark for one hour

73
00:02:17,150 --> 00:02:19,350
to mark Earth Hour 2025.

74
00:02:20,050 --> 00:02:22,190
This would join the Empire State Building in

75
00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:25,750
New York, some landmarks in Paris, Greece, Rome,

76
00:02:25,950 --> 00:02:29,050
China, Rio's Christ the Redeemer, and so many

77
00:02:29,050 --> 00:02:30,130
others across the world.

78
00:02:30,490 --> 00:02:32,590
The hour is being called the biggest hour

79
00:02:32,590 --> 00:02:33,250
for planet.

80
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:36,130
And it's meant to unify and unite millions

81
00:02:36,130 --> 00:02:38,530
of people around the world in celebrating our

82
00:02:38,530 --> 00:02:38,850
planet.

83
00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:41,610
We were not unified with millions of people

84
00:02:41,610 --> 00:02:43,110
around the world once again.

85
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:46,790
I am so disappointed in us.

86
00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:49,150
Even the local news doesn't cover this.

87
00:02:49,410 --> 00:02:50,230
No, of course not.

88
00:02:50,230 --> 00:02:52,890
I'm in California where you'd think this would

89
00:02:52,890 --> 00:02:53,390
be covered.

90
00:02:54,230 --> 00:02:57,230
It feels like the climate change thing is

91
00:02:57,230 --> 00:02:59,010
kind of falling away.

92
00:03:00,410 --> 00:03:02,450
I didn't want to make a comeback.

93
00:03:03,210 --> 00:03:07,010
Well, Europe is now one of the three

94
00:03:07,010 --> 00:03:09,590
legs of the three-legged stool.

95
00:03:11,550 --> 00:03:12,030
Yeah.

96
00:03:13,050 --> 00:03:14,230
What's the other two legs?

97
00:03:15,010 --> 00:03:18,290
Well, that would require me to play Queen

98
00:03:18,290 --> 00:03:18,710
Ursula.

99
00:03:18,810 --> 00:03:19,830
I don't know if you want to start

100
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:20,970
with her right off the bat.

101
00:03:21,510 --> 00:03:23,190
Well, let's take a chance.

102
00:03:23,310 --> 00:03:23,590
Okay.

103
00:03:23,850 --> 00:03:26,550
Well, the Starfleet Chamber over there.

104
00:03:26,810 --> 00:03:28,170
Was it Starfleet Command?

105
00:03:28,370 --> 00:03:29,590
What was the…

106
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:32,370
It's the one that's in Star Wars, whatever

107
00:03:32,370 --> 00:03:34,650
that thing was, that giant…

108
00:03:34,650 --> 00:03:35,930
The Death Star?

109
00:03:37,070 --> 00:03:38,430
Yeah, that's what it is.

110
00:03:38,430 --> 00:03:41,110
The EU represents the Death Star.

111
00:03:41,390 --> 00:03:41,970
There you go.

112
00:03:42,110 --> 00:03:42,830
You nailed it.

113
00:03:42,950 --> 00:03:44,930
Yes, the Death Star had a meeting.

114
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:49,290
Then they all got together, and here is

115
00:03:49,290 --> 00:03:51,410
Queen Ursula bringing us a report.

116
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:54,790
And this is what they have decided for

117
00:03:54,790 --> 00:03:58,130
the 340 million people of Europe.

118
00:03:58,470 --> 00:04:00,830
Now it's only two weeks after we last

119
00:04:00,830 --> 00:04:05,470
met that you, Antonio, have got us here

120
00:04:05,470 --> 00:04:06,230
again today.

121
00:04:07,050 --> 00:04:09,430
I think it was a very productive meeting.

122
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:12,330
Is that all she does, by the way?

123
00:04:12,410 --> 00:04:13,890
What does she do for a living?

124
00:04:14,010 --> 00:04:15,269
She has productive meetings.

125
00:04:17,350 --> 00:04:19,230
And she gets her hair done a lot?

126
00:04:19,589 --> 00:04:19,730
Yeah.

127
00:04:19,850 --> 00:04:23,090
I mean, as a hair guy, I know

128
00:04:23,090 --> 00:04:24,690
what it takes to get that helmet of

129
00:04:24,690 --> 00:04:26,270
hair of hers done every single morning.

130
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:28,730
She must have someone on staff to do

131
00:04:28,730 --> 00:04:29,050
that.

132
00:04:29,790 --> 00:04:30,250
Or two.

133
00:04:30,530 --> 00:04:32,290
Come, Queen Ursula, let me give you a

134
00:04:32,290 --> 00:04:32,830
blowout.

135
00:04:32,830 --> 00:04:37,410
Competitiveness, and I presented our Competitiveness Compass.

136
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:39,990
Competitiveness Compass.

137
00:04:40,370 --> 00:04:41,590
Clean industrial deal.

138
00:04:42,010 --> 00:04:43,230
Ah, yeah, there it is.

139
00:04:43,310 --> 00:04:44,470
Clean industrial deal.

140
00:04:44,750 --> 00:04:49,250
And we discussed the three important cross-cutting

141
00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:49,830
topics.

142
00:04:50,170 --> 00:04:51,330
The first is energy.

143
00:04:51,910 --> 00:04:55,910
The second is simplification, the famous omnibuses.

144
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:58,950
And the third is the savings and investment

145
00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:59,410
union.

146
00:04:59,410 --> 00:05:02,390
And I think it was a very interesting

147
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:05,990
debate, because it was clear when looking at

148
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:07,150
the energy prices.

149
00:05:08,910 --> 00:05:11,530
What is this cross-cutting thing she's talking

150
00:05:11,530 --> 00:05:11,910
about?

151
00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:13,630
She said cross-cutting.

152
00:05:13,650 --> 00:05:15,610
Yeah, that's in the last clip.

153
00:05:15,730 --> 00:05:16,910
These aren't too long, actually.

154
00:05:17,490 --> 00:05:18,710
No, she said it in this clip.

155
00:05:18,730 --> 00:05:20,390
I know, but she's going to explain it

156
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:20,990
in the last clip.

157
00:05:20,990 --> 00:05:21,990
She's going to explain cross-cutting?

158
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:23,050
Yes, yes.

159
00:05:23,090 --> 00:05:24,250
Like, intersectional?

160
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:24,990
Totally.

161
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:27,830
And remember, she also threw out an omnibus.

162
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:29,150
So pay attention.

163
00:05:29,750 --> 00:05:33,070
When looking at the energy prices, that the

164
00:05:33,070 --> 00:05:36,090
main answer to reduce energy prices is...

165
00:05:36,690 --> 00:05:36,990
Is?

166
00:05:37,190 --> 00:05:40,770
...to go more into the low-carbon energies,

167
00:05:40,990 --> 00:05:42,910
that is, nuclear and renewables.

168
00:05:43,730 --> 00:05:45,390
I mean, Germany just...

169
00:05:45,390 --> 00:05:46,130
Tell that to the Germans.

170
00:05:46,370 --> 00:05:48,190
Germany just got rid of all of the

171
00:05:48,190 --> 00:05:48,490
nuclear.

172
00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:50,010
Bring it back, boys!

173
00:05:50,110 --> 00:05:52,710
Because it is the fossil fuels that we

174
00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:54,910
import that are the price driver.

175
00:05:56,490 --> 00:06:00,730
The second point, the omnibus, indeed, strong support.

176
00:06:01,570 --> 00:06:03,210
Not only to have one, but to have

177
00:06:03,210 --> 00:06:04,570
a whole fleet of omnibuses.

178
00:06:05,710 --> 00:06:06,230
What?

179
00:06:06,770 --> 00:06:07,610
A whole fleet?

180
00:06:07,610 --> 00:06:08,070
A fleet of...

181
00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:10,610
Does she think an omnibus is actually a

182
00:06:10,610 --> 00:06:11,650
physical bus?

183
00:06:11,870 --> 00:06:12,250
Yeah.

184
00:06:13,050 --> 00:06:15,270
Like something you drive and there's...

185
00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:17,190
Hey, get in the omnibus.

186
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:17,630
Okay.

187
00:06:18,050 --> 00:06:19,590
How many people can it hold?

188
00:06:19,630 --> 00:06:21,930
The wheels on the omnibus go round and

189
00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:23,510
round, round and round.

190
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:25,530
Oh, the omnibus.

191
00:06:25,750 --> 00:06:27,430
Oh, now there's an end of show mix.

192
00:06:28,490 --> 00:06:31,530
So, the omnibus is a big spending bill.

193
00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:33,170
And it sounds like they're going to have

194
00:06:33,170 --> 00:06:34,150
a whole fleet of them.

195
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:37,590
Good luck, EU peoples.

196
00:06:38,210 --> 00:06:39,990
And then, of course, there's the...

197
00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:42,590
This is the most interesting one, which I'm

198
00:06:42,590 --> 00:06:44,070
still trying to figure it out.

199
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:47,210
I looked at their explanation.

200
00:06:47,530 --> 00:06:49,770
They have an explainer of this.

201
00:06:50,670 --> 00:06:52,250
But you tell me what this means.

202
00:06:52,250 --> 00:06:53,810
And I'm just going to set it up

203
00:06:53,810 --> 00:06:55,250
by saying, I think they're going to take

204
00:06:55,250 --> 00:06:55,630
your money.

205
00:06:57,370 --> 00:06:59,990
And I want to reflect very briefly on

206
00:06:59,990 --> 00:07:03,090
the third element, the savings and investment union.

207
00:07:03,610 --> 00:07:05,670
Savings and investment union.

208
00:07:06,450 --> 00:07:06,950
Hmm.

209
00:07:07,570 --> 00:07:11,630
Here is very interesting that we are in

210
00:07:11,630 --> 00:07:14,710
Europe, world champion what savings is concerned.

211
00:07:14,910 --> 00:07:17,910
Per year, 1.4 billion euros are being

212
00:07:17,910 --> 00:07:18,530
saved.

213
00:07:18,750 --> 00:07:19,050
Saved?

214
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:20,690
Mostly on bank accounts.

215
00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:24,590
While in comparison, for example, the American household

216
00:07:24,590 --> 00:07:27,830
save 800 million billion.

217
00:07:28,270 --> 00:07:29,810
Yeah, so that's a trillion.

218
00:07:30,690 --> 00:07:35,470
And it is not the European market that

219
00:07:35,470 --> 00:07:38,150
benefits from being the world champion in savings.

220
00:07:38,670 --> 00:07:41,630
But it is mostly other markets, specifically the

221
00:07:41,630 --> 00:07:42,370
American market.

222
00:07:42,490 --> 00:07:42,790
Why?

223
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,750
Well, here's the aphora.

224
00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:45,310
Why?

225
00:07:45,890 --> 00:07:46,830
Here's the aphora.

226
00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:47,050
Here's the aphora.

227
00:07:47,150 --> 00:07:47,550
Why?

228
00:07:48,110 --> 00:07:50,430
Because there's nothing to invest in.

229
00:07:51,090 --> 00:07:53,230
We've got all the cool companies in the

230
00:07:53,230 --> 00:07:54,330
cool stock market.

231
00:07:54,890 --> 00:07:58,810
We've got a Silicon Valley, AI, machine learning

232
00:07:58,810 --> 00:07:59,270
and quantum.

233
00:07:59,590 --> 00:08:02,130
But it is mostly other markets, specifically the

234
00:08:02,130 --> 00:08:02,830
American market.

235
00:08:03,030 --> 00:08:03,270
Why?

236
00:08:04,170 --> 00:08:08,550
Because the European capital market is still fragmented,

237
00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:10,310
is complicated and is slower.

238
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,230
And the savings and investment union has as

239
00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:17,110
a goal that the citizens get more and

240
00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:18,470
better return on their money.

241
00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:20,770
Whoa, this is good.

242
00:08:21,470 --> 00:08:24,250
The savings and investment union means that if

243
00:08:24,250 --> 00:08:26,850
you invest in their stuff, you get better

244
00:08:26,850 --> 00:08:27,390
returns.

245
00:08:27,770 --> 00:08:31,169
But also that the startups, the businesses have

246
00:08:31,169 --> 00:08:33,669
access to the much needed capital.

247
00:08:33,970 --> 00:08:35,929
And the capital will go where the business

248
00:08:35,929 --> 00:08:36,570
case is.

249
00:08:36,570 --> 00:08:39,049
In other words, we have to make sure

250
00:08:39,049 --> 00:08:43,850
that this fragmented market turns into one savings

251
00:08:43,850 --> 00:08:48,050
and investment union with one set of rules

252
00:08:48,050 --> 00:08:51,270
where you can everywhere have the same entry

253
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:51,770
point.

254
00:08:52,250 --> 00:08:55,010
This makes it then interesting to allocate the

255
00:08:55,010 --> 00:08:57,830
money here in the European Union.

256
00:08:57,970 --> 00:09:00,790
And this was one of the main focus

257
00:09:00,790 --> 00:09:01,750
in our discussion.

258
00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:05,430
Now, how do you parse what she just

259
00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:07,430
said, the savings investment union?

260
00:09:08,890 --> 00:09:11,030
What can that possibly mean?

261
00:09:12,130 --> 00:09:14,030
I think she means that they want to

262
00:09:14,030 --> 00:09:15,990
create a giant mutual fund.

263
00:09:16,210 --> 00:09:17,570
Yeah, based on war.

264
00:09:18,690 --> 00:09:20,570
And they want everyone to put their money

265
00:09:20,570 --> 00:09:21,510
into this thing.

266
00:09:21,730 --> 00:09:24,530
And it's going to be divvied up amongst

267
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:26,770
all these companies that they're going to decide

268
00:09:26,770 --> 00:09:27,250
upon.

269
00:09:27,250 --> 00:09:30,350
And then they're going to cash, they're going

270
00:09:30,350 --> 00:09:34,650
to produce profits, which will be returned to

271
00:09:34,650 --> 00:09:36,950
the quote unquote investors.

272
00:09:37,290 --> 00:09:38,250
The savers.

273
00:09:38,530 --> 00:09:41,250
In some form that will be better than

274
00:09:41,250 --> 00:09:42,590
normal interest rates.

275
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:42,970
Yes.

276
00:09:43,270 --> 00:09:46,030
So take your money out of America and

277
00:09:46,030 --> 00:09:46,990
invest it in Europe.

278
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:49,770
Because they're doing good things with your money.

279
00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:50,670
Yeah.

280
00:09:50,830 --> 00:09:52,730
Although there's no track record whatsoever.

281
00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:54,450
So it should be a pig in a

282
00:09:54,450 --> 00:09:55,590
poke is what we used to say.

283
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:59,570
So now she gets across all the slices

284
00:09:59,570 --> 00:10:01,030
and the horizontals.

285
00:10:01,190 --> 00:10:02,350
And it's part of what I just see

286
00:10:02,350 --> 00:10:05,170
is central planning across all industries.

287
00:10:05,530 --> 00:10:06,410
There's another point.

288
00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:08,470
It's not only the cross-cutting topics that

289
00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:10,930
we have been discussing.

290
00:10:11,370 --> 00:10:15,210
But we also look now systematically to one

291
00:10:15,210 --> 00:10:16,530
sector after the next.

292
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:19,390
We started with the clean industrial deal.

293
00:10:19,470 --> 00:10:22,390
That is the energy intensive industry and the

294
00:10:22,390 --> 00:10:23,410
clean tech industry.

295
00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:27,290
Clean tech industry has never made any money

296
00:10:27,290 --> 00:10:28,110
anywhere.

297
00:10:29,450 --> 00:10:30,970
I mean, clean tech.

298
00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:32,690
What is clean tech?

299
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:34,710
Batteries?

300
00:10:34,930 --> 00:10:35,250
Windmills.

301
00:10:35,370 --> 00:10:35,790
Windmills.

302
00:10:36,170 --> 00:10:38,050
And the clean tech industry.

303
00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:41,850
We have done the strategic dialogue with the

304
00:10:41,850 --> 00:10:44,430
automotive industry with an action plan.

305
00:10:45,530 --> 00:10:46,370
Action plan.

306
00:10:47,450 --> 00:10:49,010
It's an action plan.

307
00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:50,730
That's a Ron Blumism.

308
00:10:50,730 --> 00:10:53,290
We have an action plan for you investors.

309
00:10:53,290 --> 00:10:54,810
We're going to make you more money.

310
00:10:55,170 --> 00:10:55,530
Action plan.

311
00:10:55,550 --> 00:10:55,970
Action plan.

312
00:10:56,250 --> 00:10:58,910
We've done the strategic dialogue with the steel

313
00:10:58,910 --> 00:11:00,730
industry also with an action plan.

314
00:11:01,210 --> 00:11:02,930
And now the next one is the chemical

315
00:11:02,930 --> 00:11:04,270
industry that will follow.

316
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:06,190
Zyklon B for everybody.

317
00:11:06,510 --> 00:11:08,810
The principle is here that we are very

318
00:11:08,810 --> 00:11:11,250
clearly sticking to our goals.

319
00:11:11,410 --> 00:11:13,690
For example, climate neutrality by 2050.

320
00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:17,730
But that we accompany the sector on the

321
00:11:17,730 --> 00:11:20,530
way towards the goals to see where we

322
00:11:20,530 --> 00:11:23,730
can support, adapt, flexibilize, be better.

323
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:25,150
Flexibilize.

324
00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:28,150
Did she say flexibilize?

325
00:11:28,210 --> 00:11:28,750
She sure did.

326
00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:32,850
See where we can support, adapt, flexibilize, be

327
00:11:32,850 --> 00:11:33,230
better.

328
00:11:34,490 --> 00:11:35,090
Flexibilize.

329
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:36,450
Oh, yeah, baby.

330
00:11:36,450 --> 00:11:40,430
This is a huge transformation that the sectors

331
00:11:40,430 --> 00:11:41,110
are undergoing.

332
00:11:41,410 --> 00:11:44,670
And therefore, this is a journey that we're

333
00:11:44,670 --> 00:11:45,330
doing together.

334
00:11:45,850 --> 00:11:46,390
A journey.

335
00:11:46,650 --> 00:11:48,270
How is that a huge transformation?

336
00:11:48,610 --> 00:11:49,650
What's huge about it?

337
00:11:49,810 --> 00:11:52,730
Because they're doing it together as a union.

338
00:11:53,970 --> 00:11:55,750
They're completing the project.

339
00:11:57,990 --> 00:12:01,570
By the way, on the last show, she

340
00:12:01,570 --> 00:12:05,030
was saying in order to avoid war, you

341
00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:06,270
have to prepare for war.

342
00:12:06,270 --> 00:12:08,630
Yeah, you have to be loaded up with

343
00:12:08,630 --> 00:12:10,370
war armaments.

344
00:12:10,510 --> 00:12:12,350
Yeah, well, people emailed me, a lot of

345
00:12:12,350 --> 00:12:18,070
people, and said, this is really, it resembles

346
00:12:18,070 --> 00:12:20,090
the art of war from Sun Tzu.

347
00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:23,710
And also like some Greek stuff.

348
00:12:26,110 --> 00:12:30,510
Now, here, a fourth century Roman writer, Publius

349
00:12:30,510 --> 00:12:31,850
Vegetus Renatus.

350
00:12:34,350 --> 00:12:37,150
To prepare for war, to have peace, you

351
00:12:37,150 --> 00:12:38,490
need to prepare for war.

352
00:12:39,010 --> 00:12:40,750
Yeah, and they never had any battles, those

353
00:12:40,750 --> 00:12:40,970
guys.

354
00:12:40,990 --> 00:12:42,010
Sounds good to me.

355
00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:44,150
Well, they're going to have the big meetup

356
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:45,310
in The Hague in June.

357
00:12:45,830 --> 00:12:47,870
That's when our guy, Mark Ritter, will be

358
00:12:47,870 --> 00:12:48,850
doing, he'll have a booth.

359
00:12:51,470 --> 00:12:52,850
He'll have booth babes.

360
00:12:52,850 --> 00:12:55,710
He'll have a kissing booth.

361
00:12:55,950 --> 00:12:58,050
He'll be selling stuff on our behalf.

362
00:12:59,150 --> 00:13:01,970
Now, this is, none of this is good.

363
00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:03,310
None of it.

364
00:13:06,210 --> 00:13:09,550
So, and then it seems like, I'm not

365
00:13:09,550 --> 00:13:12,710
quite sure if it's a buckling or if

366
00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:16,010
there's some backroom talks taking place.

367
00:13:16,190 --> 00:13:19,630
But Queen Ursula also said she's going to

368
00:13:19,630 --> 00:13:22,150
delay the retaliatory tariffs.

369
00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:24,430
Also on the agenda was Europe's need to

370
00:13:24,430 --> 00:13:27,530
boost competitiveness and innovation amid sluggish growth and

371
00:13:27,530 --> 00:13:29,410
the specter of a trade war triggered by

372
00:13:29,410 --> 00:13:32,030
US President Donald Trump's tariff announcements.

373
00:13:32,630 --> 00:13:35,310
Hold on, they have tariffs on us, so

374
00:13:35,310 --> 00:13:37,830
who started the war is questionable.

375
00:13:38,070 --> 00:13:39,950
Earlier on, the EU said it was delaying

376
00:13:39,950 --> 00:13:43,690
until mid-April retaliatory tariffs against sector-specific

377
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:44,990
targets in the US.

378
00:13:45,530 --> 00:13:47,550
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said

379
00:13:47,550 --> 00:13:49,390
the decision was made to allow for more

380
00:13:49,390 --> 00:13:51,510
negotiations with the White House.

381
00:13:51,510 --> 00:13:54,550
We are, in principle, opposed to tariffs.

382
00:13:54,730 --> 00:13:56,270
We think that tariffs are bad.

383
00:13:57,050 --> 00:13:58,090
Thank you.

384
00:13:58,950 --> 00:13:59,650
Thank you.

385
00:14:00,150 --> 00:14:01,950
Why do you have tariffs if you're, in

386
00:14:01,950 --> 00:14:03,150
principle, against tariffs?

387
00:14:03,290 --> 00:14:04,050
With the White House.

388
00:14:04,630 --> 00:14:07,030
We are, in principle, opposed to tariffs.

389
00:14:07,330 --> 00:14:09,070
We think that tariffs are bad.

390
00:14:09,650 --> 00:14:10,730
They are like taxes.

391
00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:12,910
They are bad for consumers.

392
00:14:13,250 --> 00:14:14,330
They are bad for business.

393
00:14:14,330 --> 00:14:15,110
They're like taxes?

394
00:14:15,390 --> 00:14:17,670
It's like taxes.

395
00:14:18,990 --> 00:14:20,610
Hi, it's like taxes.

396
00:14:20,610 --> 00:14:22,230
They are like taxes.

397
00:14:22,450 --> 00:14:24,390
They are bad for consumers.

398
00:14:24,670 --> 00:14:27,390
They are bad for business on both sides

399
00:14:27,390 --> 00:14:29,250
of the Atlantic without any question.

400
00:14:30,030 --> 00:14:32,970
We are in active discussion with the US

401
00:14:32,970 --> 00:14:34,650
administration on this issue.

402
00:14:35,130 --> 00:14:37,930
And I can confirm that we decided to

403
00:14:37,930 --> 00:14:40,390
adjust the timing of the entry into force

404
00:14:40,390 --> 00:14:41,490
of tariffs.

405
00:14:41,830 --> 00:14:45,710
The impact of our response does not change.

406
00:14:46,570 --> 00:14:47,170
Okay.

407
00:14:48,010 --> 00:14:50,490
So, yeah, I don't understand what she's saying.

408
00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:51,590
They're bad.

409
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:52,590
It's bad for everybody.

410
00:14:52,730 --> 00:14:53,610
They're just like Texas.

411
00:14:54,590 --> 00:14:55,690
But yet they have them.

412
00:14:55,930 --> 00:14:56,450
I don't know.

413
00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:59,990
It's all very baffling to me.

414
00:15:00,290 --> 00:15:03,230
And the silence of the Europeans is just

415
00:15:03,230 --> 00:15:03,910
deafening.

416
00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:06,170
I don't think they care anymore.

417
00:15:06,370 --> 00:15:07,870
I think the Europeans just, whatever.

418
00:15:09,010 --> 00:15:09,650
Let it go.

419
00:15:12,170 --> 00:15:13,510
Well, it could be the bad coverage.

420
00:15:14,370 --> 00:15:18,910
I mean, there's nothing.

421
00:15:19,010 --> 00:15:20,210
It's just word salad.

422
00:15:20,330 --> 00:15:21,890
They'll just go, oh, yeah, we're going to

423
00:15:21,890 --> 00:15:22,250
do this.

424
00:15:22,290 --> 00:15:23,050
Something union.

425
00:15:24,130 --> 00:15:25,070
Fiscal union.

426
00:15:25,270 --> 00:15:28,970
We'll have an industrial deal.

427
00:15:29,370 --> 00:15:30,730
Clean industrial deal.

428
00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:32,750
Industry is never clean.

429
00:15:32,830 --> 00:15:33,290
It's dirty.

430
00:15:34,190 --> 00:15:34,850
It's just dirty.

431
00:15:36,730 --> 00:15:37,970
So, there you go.

432
00:15:38,110 --> 00:15:39,250
Aren't you glad you asked?

433
00:15:40,650 --> 00:15:42,650
I always enjoy listening to her.

434
00:15:44,690 --> 00:15:46,370
It's always better to watch her.

435
00:15:46,690 --> 00:15:49,230
She is a level twerp, honestly.

436
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,920
Is she a small woman?

437
00:15:53,020 --> 00:15:53,380
Do we know?

438
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,600
Yeah, yeah, she's very tiny.

439
00:15:55,180 --> 00:15:56,640
She's petite, very petite.

440
00:15:58,540 --> 00:15:59,660
Napoleon complex.

441
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,480
So, it seems that as the Democrat Party

442
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,660
in the United States is in total disarray

443
00:16:05,660 --> 00:16:10,600
with numbers through the basement, everyone's just resorting

444
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:16,240
to Nazis and stuff like that with their

445
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,280
pals in the media.

446
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,920
And it's wearing on me, John.

447
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,540
I'm going to be honest.

448
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:21,440
It's getting tired.

449
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,120
It's getting tired.

450
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,780
It's like, how many years do we have

451
00:16:24,780 --> 00:16:25,700
to go through this?

452
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,140
I mean, these people are delusional.

453
00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:33,180
I'll start us off with Chuck Schumer, Senator

454
00:16:33,180 --> 00:16:35,240
Chuck Schumer from New York, on The View.

455
00:16:35,340 --> 00:16:36,760
Because that's where you go to talk to

456
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:37,880
your delusional Dems.

457
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,840
The Republican Party is a different kettle of

458
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,940
fish than it used to be.

459
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,820
And that's why we're fighting them so hard.

460
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,260
Kettle of fish?

461
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,380
Yes, it's a different kettle of fish.

462
00:16:47,140 --> 00:16:49,080
Where does that come from, kettle of fish?

463
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:52,120
It's a different kettle of fish.

464
00:16:52,260 --> 00:16:53,200
Yes, it's different.

465
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,880
I don't know why that even became a

466
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:58,280
phrase.

467
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,220
It's a different kettle of fish.

468
00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:01,780
It's a different pot of stew.

469
00:17:02,780 --> 00:17:04,319
It's a different cassoulet.

470
00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:05,619
Yes, cassoulet.

471
00:17:05,619 --> 00:17:07,960
It's a different bean salad.

472
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,579
I mean, there's a lot of things.

473
00:17:09,660 --> 00:17:12,319
Who makes a kettle, by the way, of

474
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:12,540
fish?

475
00:17:12,819 --> 00:17:14,359
Most people saute the fish.

476
00:17:14,660 --> 00:17:16,380
It's a different kettle of fish than it

477
00:17:16,380 --> 00:17:16,940
used to be.

478
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,819
And that's why we're fighting them so hard.

479
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:22,220
They are controlled by a small group of

480
00:17:22,220 --> 00:17:24,000
wealthy, greedy people.

481
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,440
And you know what their attitude is?

482
00:17:25,740 --> 00:17:27,820
I made my money all by myself.

483
00:17:28,100 --> 00:17:30,420
How dare your government take my money from

484
00:17:30,420 --> 00:17:30,560
me?

485
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,640
I don't want to pay taxes.

486
00:17:31,980 --> 00:17:34,220
Or, I built my company with my bare

487
00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:34,520
hands.

488
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,780
How dare your government tell me how I

489
00:17:36,780 --> 00:17:40,700
should treat my customers, the land and water

490
00:17:40,700 --> 00:17:43,140
that I own, or my employees?

491
00:17:43,580 --> 00:17:44,220
They're playing them off.

492
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,580
Government's a barrier to people.

493
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,280
A barrier to stop them from doing things.

494
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,480
They want to destroy it.

495
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,240
We are not letting them do it.

496
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:52,980
And we're united.

497
00:17:53,260 --> 00:17:54,180
Good, all right.

498
00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:55,660
Yeah, we're united.

499
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,080
Woo, yeah.

500
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,220
Play that delusional clip.

501
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,320
I have to play this then.

502
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:02,740
Okay.

503
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:05,500
This is Rosie O'Donnell.

504
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,340
Oh, yes, yes.

505
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,060
I think everyone saw this.

506
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:13,360
She went on an Irish talk show.

507
00:18:13,660 --> 00:18:15,600
And talk about delusional.

508
00:18:15,780 --> 00:18:18,360
I'd like to know where do you get

509
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:21,540
this perspective?

510
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,960
You know, a lot of people did vote

511
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:25,340
for him.

512
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:25,760
Yes.

513
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:29,560
Do you accept their right to do that

514
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,480
and their opinion of him?

515
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,420
Well, I respect their right to do that.

516
00:18:33,420 --> 00:18:35,580
But I question why the first time in

517
00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:38,740
American history a president has won every swing

518
00:18:38,740 --> 00:18:42,440
state and is also best friends and his

519
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,020
largest donor was a man who owns and

520
00:18:45,020 --> 00:18:45,880
runs the Internet.

521
00:18:47,780 --> 00:18:48,980
Is that Al Gore?

522
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,460
Oh, no, he just invented it.

523
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,000
So Elon owns the Internet.

524
00:18:53,180 --> 00:18:55,860
Yeah, this is kind of out there, Madam

525
00:18:55,860 --> 00:18:56,400
O'Donnell.

526
00:18:57,260 --> 00:18:58,820
So I would hope that that would be

527
00:18:58,820 --> 00:19:01,420
investigated and that we would see whether or

528
00:19:01,420 --> 00:19:03,460
not it was an anomaly or something else

529
00:19:03,460 --> 00:19:06,280
that happened on election night in America when

530
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums with people

531
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:10,760
who supported her.

532
00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:12,920
And Donald Trump was not able to do

533
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,180
that.

534
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,740
So it's curious to me.

535
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,580
And as an American and a believer in

536
00:19:19,580 --> 00:19:21,700
democracy, I would hope that we would be

537
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:24,620
able to look at all of the reasons

538
00:19:24,620 --> 00:19:27,100
why this happened in our country.

539
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,380
So for the first time in history, well,

540
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:33,780
for one thing, swing states vary from election

541
00:19:33,780 --> 00:19:34,280
to election.

542
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:37,560
But Ronald Reagan won every swing state, if

543
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,460
there were any at the time.

544
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,380
I think he won every state except Minnesota.

545
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,640
Oh, no, I'm sorry, except Massachusetts.

546
00:19:44,020 --> 00:19:46,660
And so he would have won every swing

547
00:19:46,660 --> 00:19:46,900
state.

548
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,280
And I think this is very common to

549
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,660
win every swing state.

550
00:19:51,340 --> 00:19:53,660
But what is wrong with her?

551
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,000
The guy who owns the Internet or runs

552
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:57,860
it, what did she say?

553
00:19:57,980 --> 00:19:59,280
It doesn't make any sense at all.

554
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,400
I watched the whole interview, actually.

555
00:20:03,740 --> 00:20:06,520
And no, she is renouncing her U.S.

556
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,040
citizenship.

557
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,280
She has applied for Irish citizenship.

558
00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:12,300
You don't have to, you know, if you're

559
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:15,180
Irish, you don't have to renounce the U

560
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:15,960
.S. citizenship.

561
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:18,160
That's a symbolic gesture if she does it.

562
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,060
Because I know plenty of guys, our joke

563
00:20:22,060 --> 00:20:24,200
writer, our official joke writer, Marty Higgins, has

564
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,000
got an Irish passport because he's Irish.

565
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,840
Is Marty even alive?

566
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:28,680
Where's his jokes?

567
00:20:28,940 --> 00:20:30,060
Yeah, where's his jokes?

568
00:20:30,060 --> 00:20:31,240
Where's his jokes, man?

569
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:34,820
Well, the way I understood it is she's

570
00:20:34,820 --> 00:20:38,400
renouncing her citizenship, but yet she ends with

571
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,180
our country.

572
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:41,560
So I don't know exactly what she wants.

573
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,740
But I pulled one other clip from earlier

574
00:20:44,740 --> 00:20:47,540
in the interview, which, you know, this is

575
00:20:47,540 --> 00:20:49,360
the work we do on your No Agenda

576
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:49,780
show.

577
00:20:50,700 --> 00:20:54,760
And this is, here's her answering why she

578
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,140
left.

579
00:20:55,140 --> 00:20:57,640
And it may be even more puzzling than

580
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,500
what she just said in this clip.

581
00:20:59,820 --> 00:21:01,940
You stuck out the last Trump presidency.

582
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,220
What's different about this one for you that

583
00:21:05,220 --> 00:21:07,040
made you realize you're out?

584
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,320
Well, right away was the problem with Project

585
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,980
2025, which the Heritage Foundation put out.

586
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,380
And it detailed what they wanted to do.

587
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,560
And I read the whole thing.

588
00:21:20,220 --> 00:21:23,300
And besides it being very tedious, clearly it

589
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:26,420
was about 80 pages run through chat GPT.

590
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,340
Everything was flowery.

591
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,600
But there wasn't anything really crazy in there

592
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,560
that I can recall.

593
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:35,060
And I felt that anyone who read that

594
00:21:35,060 --> 00:21:37,280
would be not, would not be able to

595
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,640
sleep as an American.

596
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,220
I was able to sleep, John.

597
00:21:41,380 --> 00:21:42,360
What type of stuff was in there?

598
00:21:42,660 --> 00:21:45,040
I slept just fine.

599
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,560
I was like, oh, oh no.

600
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,040
I mean, the stuff that was in there

601
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,320
was, yeah, closing the Department of Education and

602
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,640
sending it back to the States.

603
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:53,400
I still slept okay.

604
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,280
Well, gutting all of the social programs as

605
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,160
she has been doing.

606
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:01,700
Just the other day, he disemboweled, disbanded the

607
00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:02,800
Department of Education.

608
00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:04,420
She wanted to say disemboweled.

609
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,280
Yes.

610
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,420
Is the Department of Education a social service?

611
00:22:11,590 --> 00:22:13,250
I would say if it's anything, it has

612
00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:14,750
to be a social service because it does

613
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:16,870
nothing else about, does nothing about education.

614
00:22:16,990 --> 00:22:17,830
So what else could it be?

615
00:22:18,350 --> 00:22:20,530
And I have a child who has autism

616
00:22:20,530 --> 00:22:23,610
and that child will be.

617
00:22:23,910 --> 00:22:25,790
Oh, Trump hates autistic kids.

618
00:22:25,870 --> 00:22:26,490
He hates him.

619
00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:27,670
He hates him so much.

620
00:22:27,730 --> 00:22:29,070
He wants to figure out why there's so

621
00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:29,750
many of them.

622
00:22:30,190 --> 00:22:33,750
Denied services and many, many autistic children because

623
00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:37,950
the funding for these programs for special needs

624
00:22:37,950 --> 00:22:40,650
children comes from the federal government as well

625
00:22:40,650 --> 00:22:41,450
as the states.

626
00:22:41,770 --> 00:22:42,410
Never used to.

627
00:22:42,430 --> 00:22:43,530
And it's going to be disastrous.

628
00:22:43,650 --> 00:22:45,110
When I was a kid, I would stop

629
00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:45,810
the clip.

630
00:22:46,790 --> 00:22:48,730
So when I was a kid, I went

631
00:22:48,730 --> 00:22:52,450
through my entire education, including a degree from

632
00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:57,430
Berkeley, without the Department of Education existing, which

633
00:22:57,430 --> 00:23:01,290
it only became in play in 1980, 1979,

634
00:23:01,450 --> 00:23:01,730
1980.

635
00:23:02,330 --> 00:23:03,790
So I went through the whole thing.

636
00:23:03,930 --> 00:23:05,550
We had special education.

637
00:23:05,710 --> 00:23:09,590
We had programs for people that had special

638
00:23:09,590 --> 00:23:12,130
needs that was always going on and the

639
00:23:12,130 --> 00:23:14,350
quality of the education was better back then.

640
00:23:14,650 --> 00:23:15,750
In fact, when I went to the University

641
00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:18,230
of California, which still gulls all my kids,

642
00:23:18,850 --> 00:23:20,210
I didn't pay anything.

643
00:23:20,370 --> 00:23:20,890
It was free.

644
00:23:21,230 --> 00:23:22,830
I was a California resident.

645
00:23:23,230 --> 00:23:24,670
I qualified to get in.

646
00:23:24,770 --> 00:23:26,390
I had a high SAT score.

647
00:23:27,050 --> 00:23:28,750
And I waltzed right in.

648
00:23:29,950 --> 00:23:32,990
Now it costs like $70,000 a year.

649
00:23:33,670 --> 00:23:34,450
What changed?

650
00:23:34,590 --> 00:23:37,610
Do they have an endowment, Cal Berkeley?

651
00:23:37,790 --> 00:23:38,330
They must have a huge endowment.

652
00:23:38,330 --> 00:23:38,750
Sure they do.

653
00:23:38,870 --> 00:23:40,390
All these big schools do.

654
00:23:40,570 --> 00:23:40,810
Yeah.

655
00:23:40,890 --> 00:23:41,850
I wonder how big it is.

656
00:23:42,010 --> 00:23:42,870
It must be huge.

657
00:23:42,930 --> 00:23:43,470
It's huge.

658
00:23:43,690 --> 00:23:44,530
It's not as big as...

659
00:23:44,530 --> 00:23:45,750
The big one is Harvard.

660
00:23:45,970 --> 00:23:46,350
It's huge.

661
00:23:46,570 --> 00:23:48,110
It's in the multi-billions.

662
00:23:48,550 --> 00:23:51,530
Well, even though she says it comes from

663
00:23:51,530 --> 00:23:53,830
the federal government as well as the states,

664
00:23:53,970 --> 00:23:56,410
but that was her reason to leave the

665
00:23:56,410 --> 00:23:56,650
country.

666
00:23:56,830 --> 00:24:00,410
For these programs for special needs children comes

667
00:24:00,410 --> 00:24:02,530
from the federal government as well as the

668
00:24:02,530 --> 00:24:05,490
states and it's going to be disastrous for

669
00:24:05,490 --> 00:24:06,450
children on the spectrum.

670
00:24:07,170 --> 00:24:08,530
And that was terrifying.

671
00:24:09,350 --> 00:24:11,270
But the biggest reason that it was different

672
00:24:11,270 --> 00:24:12,970
than the first time he was in office

673
00:24:12,970 --> 00:24:16,630
is because of the Supreme Court giving him

674
00:24:16,630 --> 00:24:19,710
ultimate power, the powers of a king or

675
00:24:19,710 --> 00:24:20,250
a monarch.

676
00:24:20,730 --> 00:24:22,710
And that's not what the United States is

677
00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:23,190
all about.

678
00:24:23,490 --> 00:24:25,290
And it's a terrifying prospect.

679
00:24:25,590 --> 00:24:27,630
And, in fact, what has happened since he's

680
00:24:27,630 --> 00:24:31,950
taken office has been terrifying, I think, for

681
00:24:31,950 --> 00:24:34,050
the world and definitely for the United States

682
00:24:34,050 --> 00:24:34,410
of America.

683
00:24:34,570 --> 00:24:34,670
For you.

684
00:24:35,250 --> 00:24:35,510
Yeah.

685
00:24:35,710 --> 00:24:38,030
Could everyone who's terrified please raise their hand

686
00:24:38,030 --> 00:24:38,750
without talking?

687
00:24:41,710 --> 00:24:44,790
You know, I don't understand.

688
00:24:45,650 --> 00:24:47,190
I find it kind of sad.

689
00:24:47,610 --> 00:24:49,310
Although it's great for this talk show.

690
00:24:49,370 --> 00:24:50,590
I've never heard of this talk show.

691
00:24:50,770 --> 00:24:51,930
I'm going to watch this talk show.

692
00:24:52,370 --> 00:24:54,130
Yeah, the talk show is interesting.

693
00:24:57,310 --> 00:24:58,750
So, if she leaves.

694
00:24:58,870 --> 00:25:00,910
It's kind of baffling how somebody gets themselves

695
00:25:00,910 --> 00:25:02,010
worked up into something.

696
00:25:02,150 --> 00:25:03,350
You see it all the time.

697
00:25:03,490 --> 00:25:04,490
Well, I mean, no, hold on.

698
00:25:04,590 --> 00:25:07,950
Rosie O'Donnell is special because she's kind of

699
00:25:07,950 --> 00:25:11,710
become President Trump's punching bag throughout the years.

700
00:25:11,850 --> 00:25:13,650
Yeah, well, she asked for it.

701
00:25:13,830 --> 00:25:15,650
Yeah, well, I mean, the thing is.

702
00:25:15,730 --> 00:25:17,050
And he's not doing anything to her.

703
00:25:17,170 --> 00:25:20,910
No, the thing is, comedians always like to

704
00:25:20,910 --> 00:25:23,530
make someone else or something else their punchline.

705
00:25:23,610 --> 00:25:26,170
But when they're a punchline themselves, oh, step

706
00:25:26,170 --> 00:25:26,650
back.

707
00:25:27,470 --> 00:25:29,870
I think that's what's going on here.

708
00:25:32,170 --> 00:25:34,910
And I'm sad to see her so angry.

709
00:25:34,910 --> 00:25:36,810
I knew her when she was Rosie over

710
00:25:36,810 --> 00:25:39,650
there at what was the place in West

711
00:25:39,650 --> 00:25:40,690
Orange in New Jersey?

712
00:25:41,990 --> 00:25:42,410
Chuckles?

713
00:25:42,550 --> 00:25:43,290
No, not Chuckles.

714
00:25:43,410 --> 00:25:45,410
It was Yuck Yucks.

715
00:25:45,510 --> 00:25:46,250
No, it wasn't Yuck Yucks.

716
00:25:46,270 --> 00:25:47,310
It was a typical place.

717
00:25:47,510 --> 00:25:48,550
Chuckles, Yuck Yucks.

718
00:25:48,570 --> 00:25:49,270
It wasn't Yuck Yucks.

719
00:25:49,550 --> 00:25:49,970
Punchline.

720
00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:51,010
It was something else.

721
00:25:51,270 --> 00:25:52,950
It wasn't any of those.

722
00:25:55,310 --> 00:25:57,690
And, you know, she could have been the

723
00:25:57,690 --> 00:25:59,950
Joe Rogan on the left, but she's so

724
00:25:59,950 --> 00:26:00,530
sour.

725
00:26:00,530 --> 00:26:03,050
When's the last time she told a joke?

726
00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:05,170
Chuckles.

727
00:26:05,890 --> 00:26:08,090
She used to be very funny.

728
00:26:08,110 --> 00:26:10,550
Well, she made a fortune on her daytime

729
00:26:10,550 --> 00:26:11,310
talk show.

730
00:26:11,530 --> 00:26:11,830
Mm-hmm.

731
00:26:12,030 --> 00:26:14,710
She was pre-Ellen, and the show was

732
00:26:14,710 --> 00:26:16,170
an ass kicker.

733
00:26:16,370 --> 00:26:18,470
Doesn't she have to pay taxes when you

734
00:26:18,470 --> 00:26:19,150
leave the country?

735
00:26:21,070 --> 00:26:22,130
Well, it depends.

736
00:26:22,390 --> 00:26:23,250
I think you still have to pay.

737
00:26:23,310 --> 00:26:25,270
Well, now if you renounce your citizenship, I

738
00:26:25,270 --> 00:26:26,910
think you get away from having to pay

739
00:26:26,910 --> 00:26:27,270
taxes.

740
00:26:27,270 --> 00:26:31,530
But she had a huge hit.

741
00:26:31,610 --> 00:26:32,830
The thing was a huge hit.

742
00:26:33,410 --> 00:26:35,250
It was Ellen, pre-Ellen.

743
00:26:36,050 --> 00:26:39,110
And she was, you know, funny at the

744
00:26:39,110 --> 00:26:39,390
time.

745
00:26:39,490 --> 00:26:40,710
And then something soured her.

746
00:26:40,830 --> 00:26:41,590
Something happened.

747
00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:45,610
Maybe the autistic child, which she didn't give

748
00:26:45,610 --> 00:26:46,190
birth to.

749
00:26:48,130 --> 00:26:50,390
Maybe the lesbian circle she's in.

750
00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:51,330
Oh, well, hold on a second.

751
00:26:52,010 --> 00:26:55,310
So basically she got a bad purchase.

752
00:26:56,030 --> 00:26:58,010
She's mad she couldn't return.

753
00:26:58,390 --> 00:26:59,630
I'm not absolutely certain.

754
00:26:59,870 --> 00:27:01,590
I don't want to make that.

755
00:27:01,950 --> 00:27:03,550
But as far as I know, she never

756
00:27:03,550 --> 00:27:04,130
was pregnant.

757
00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:04,810
Mm-hmm.

758
00:27:05,090 --> 00:27:10,210
But she's in a circle of lesbian haters.

759
00:27:10,570 --> 00:27:10,830
Yeah.

760
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:13,790
And she's just, it turned her sour.

761
00:27:13,990 --> 00:27:16,030
It's very strange, especially for a comic.

762
00:27:16,470 --> 00:27:17,050
Mm-hmm.

763
00:27:18,330 --> 00:27:18,670
Yeah.

764
00:27:21,430 --> 00:27:22,030
Chelsea.

765
00:27:22,670 --> 00:27:23,530
Yes, adopted.

766
00:27:23,530 --> 00:27:25,830
Adopted by Rosie and Kelly as a baby.

767
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,760
Anyway, it's too bad.

768
00:27:30,260 --> 00:27:31,000
And she was funny.

769
00:27:31,180 --> 00:27:32,440
She was funny back in the day.

770
00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:35,100
Okay, let's just stick with the topic for

771
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:35,480
a second.

772
00:27:35,740 --> 00:27:37,540
So this is the part that gets really

773
00:27:37,540 --> 00:27:38,300
tiring.

774
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,620
Is when it's just this constant anger.

775
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,840
And everyone's angry.

776
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,560
And everyone's losing their minds.

777
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:45,740
Let me play some of that sound from

778
00:27:45,740 --> 00:27:47,760
some of these town halls this week.

779
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,380
Town halls.

780
00:27:48,380 --> 00:27:51,100
I support Elon Musk and the Department of

781
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:51,660
Homeland Security.

782
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,300
Next question.

783
00:27:55,020 --> 00:27:56,140
Next question.

784
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,240
Where are Elon Musk?

785
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,080
Where are Elon Musk?

786
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:01,560
It's starting to start to me.

787
00:28:01,780 --> 00:28:04,060
We're obsessed tomorrow with federal government.

788
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:05,540
But here's the thing.

789
00:28:07,380 --> 00:28:08,320
Fire Elon.

790
00:28:09,300 --> 00:28:11,600
Look, just in case you didn't pick this

791
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:11,880
up.

792
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,520
That was Nebraska and Wyoming.

793
00:28:14,940 --> 00:28:16,600
You talked about 80-20 issues.

794
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,920
What they're doing with Doge is by far

795
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,220
one of the most unpopular things that Donald

796
00:28:22,220 --> 00:28:22,820
Trump is doing.

797
00:28:23,220 --> 00:28:24,940
No, I think it's popular for many people.

798
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:26,440
But I think what you're seeing is Democrats

799
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,980
organizing at congressional town halls.

800
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:30,800
I mean, all the polling says.

801
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:32,960
I don't doubt the polling.

802
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,080
All the polling says that voters do not

803
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,520
support drastic cuts.

804
00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:38,300
They do not think Elon has the expertise

805
00:28:38,300 --> 00:28:39,180
to do the cuts.

806
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:39,860
I don't doubt the polling.

807
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,480
Judges are reversing the cuts.

808
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,080
Hold on a second.

809
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,880
They don't even dispute that the government should

810
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,320
shrink.

811
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,100
They just don't like how it's being done.

812
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,260
My point is, you played a video of

813
00:28:51,260 --> 00:28:52,880
a town hall as though it's evidence of

814
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,760
some broad anger that's out there.

815
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,340
And it's not.

816
00:28:55,580 --> 00:28:57,240
This is what happens every time there's a

817
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,620
Republican majority in the House.

818
00:28:58,980 --> 00:28:59,920
The Democrats organize.

819
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:00,460
In Wyoming?

820
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,860
They go to town halls.

821
00:29:02,260 --> 00:29:02,700
They organize.

822
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:03,680
They get loud.

823
00:29:03,780 --> 00:29:04,560
They get viral moments.

824
00:29:04,820 --> 00:29:05,020
I'm sorry.

825
00:29:05,140 --> 00:29:06,700
Our party is not that organized.

826
00:29:07,260 --> 00:29:10,460
Our party is not that organized to organize

827
00:29:10,460 --> 00:29:11,380
town halls right now.

828
00:29:11,380 --> 00:29:15,320
I love Abby Phillips saying our party is

829
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,040
not organized.

830
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,160
Aren't you supposed to be a news model?

831
00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:21,080
But then this guy, he, I think this

832
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:21,300
is.

833
00:29:21,820 --> 00:29:23,700
That's a good catch now that you mention

834
00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:23,960
it.

835
00:29:25,580 --> 00:29:26,580
It's CNN.

836
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,320
Surprise.

837
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:30,680
But then this guy, Jamal Bauman, I think

838
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,600
he says something that could get him in

839
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,240
legal trouble.

840
00:29:33,420 --> 00:29:34,220
That's not true.

841
00:29:34,420 --> 00:29:37,160
And this shows again, the American people do

842
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,220
not trust Elon Musk.

843
00:29:38,220 --> 00:29:41,760
And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position.

844
00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:43,100
And how do we know?

845
00:29:43,420 --> 00:29:45,440
Because they fired tens of thousands of people.

846
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:46,900
It was challenged in court.

847
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,640
The court said the people have to go

848
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:48,980
back.

849
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,440
And now the people are coming back.

850
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,280
He's incompetent.

851
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,240
He's a thief.

852
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:54,620
He's a Nazi.

853
00:29:54,940 --> 00:29:56,480
And people don't trust him.

854
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:57,140
Period.

855
00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:58,820
I think that's actionable.

856
00:29:59,820 --> 00:30:03,060
Well, actually, Musk tweeted about this specific thing.

857
00:30:03,060 --> 00:30:03,160
Oh, really?

858
00:30:03,340 --> 00:30:03,780
Oh, really?

859
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:05,740
And he says he's taking him to court.

860
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:06,160
He should.

861
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:06,640
For slander.

862
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:07,000
Yeah.

863
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,360
You can call him a Nazi.

864
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:09,520
Well, no.

865
00:30:09,700 --> 00:30:10,200
He said thief.

866
00:30:10,380 --> 00:30:10,660
Thief.

867
00:30:10,740 --> 00:30:10,900
Yeah.

868
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:11,300
Thief.

869
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,200
Thief is actionable.

870
00:30:12,460 --> 00:30:13,780
You can't call somebody a crook.

871
00:30:13,860 --> 00:30:15,120
You can't call him a thief.

872
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,180
Yeah.

873
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,400
Unless you make it very clear.

874
00:30:18,580 --> 00:30:19,540
I mean, it's possible.

875
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,980
I think there's ways to do it.

876
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,220
But generally speaking, you can't.

877
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,100
Not like that.

878
00:30:24,460 --> 00:30:26,920
And I tell people to just avoid those

879
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,000
sorts of comments.

880
00:30:28,260 --> 00:30:28,640
Yes.

881
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,640
And we have been very...

882
00:30:31,460 --> 00:30:33,100
You can call somebody an a-hole.

883
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:33,520
Yeah.

884
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:35,700
Because that's provable.

885
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,080
Well, just not...

886
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,520
No, it's one of those things where...

887
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,000
It's okay, Mr. President.

888
00:30:41,220 --> 00:30:43,060
Prove to us that you're not an a

889
00:30:43,060 --> 00:30:43,340
-hole.

890
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,660
I mean, nobody wants to go to court

891
00:30:45,660 --> 00:30:46,500
to deal with that.

892
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,320
Shall we listen to a supercut of the

893
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,380
media before Elon bought Twitter and before Elon?

894
00:30:53,980 --> 00:30:55,380
Yeah, this is a classic.

895
00:30:55,460 --> 00:30:55,940
These are good.

896
00:30:56,020 --> 00:30:57,620
I would argue that the new Jesus Christ

897
00:30:57,620 --> 00:31:00,100
of our era are Steve Jobs and Elon

898
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:00,500
Musk.

899
00:31:00,540 --> 00:31:01,840
And it's important to have heroes.

900
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,340
The 47-year-old engineer has been called

901
00:31:04,340 --> 00:31:06,720
the real-life Tony Stark, better known as

902
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:07,300
Iron Man.

903
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,660
Elon Musk, a.k.a. real-life Iron

904
00:31:09,660 --> 00:31:09,960
Man.

905
00:31:10,020 --> 00:31:11,340
The guy is brilliant.

906
00:31:11,540 --> 00:31:12,320
He is a genius.

907
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,660
And at least for now, the world is

908
00:31:14,660 --> 00:31:16,660
better off having Elon Musk in it than

909
00:31:16,660 --> 00:31:16,980
not.

910
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:18,640
Elon Musk is one of the most interesting

911
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,540
people in America.

912
00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:21,800
He's in the world and, I guess, in

913
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:22,320
the universe.

914
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:25,340
Elon Musk is doing things that may revolutionize

915
00:31:25,340 --> 00:31:27,180
transportation and climate change.

916
00:31:27,180 --> 00:31:31,480
When somebody as staggeringly rich and staggeringly intelligent

917
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,060
as Elon Musk talks, people listen.

918
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,000
Has there ever been a car salesman like

919
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:36,620
Elon Musk?

920
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,700
Elon Musk is, I think, is beyond a

921
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:40,240
car salesman.

922
00:31:40,380 --> 00:31:42,540
I mean, he's more like a hero for

923
00:31:42,540 --> 00:31:43,440
a lot of folks.

924
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,280
Just today, we were given a glimpse of

925
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,020
something of a miracle at sea, or as

926
00:31:48,020 --> 00:31:50,040
Elon Musk calls it, Tuesday.

927
00:31:50,420 --> 00:31:52,340
Let's talk about SpaceX.

928
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,840
Well, Kate, the launch this morning was glorious.

929
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaking of wonderful, out of this world, incredible

930
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,520
images from the first all-civilian orbit around

931
00:31:59,520 --> 00:31:59,880
Earth.

932
00:31:59,980 --> 00:32:01,320
A huge win for Elon Musk.

933
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:04,060
It's an amazing development that's going on.

934
00:32:04,140 --> 00:32:05,260
You've got to give a lot of credit

935
00:32:05,260 --> 00:32:05,960
to Elon Musk.

936
00:32:06,060 --> 00:32:07,920
Elon Musk, he deserves a lot of credit.

937
00:32:08,020 --> 00:32:12,060
Tesla founder Elon Musk says he knows the

938
00:32:12,060 --> 00:32:15,200
biggest threat to humanity, and he has a

939
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:15,500
plan.

940
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:18,760
An immigrant to this country cemented his status

941
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,260
as a leader in science and technology whose

942
00:32:22,260 --> 00:32:26,020
name may indeed belong alongside those of Edison

943
00:32:26,020 --> 00:32:26,960
and Jobs.

944
00:32:27,220 --> 00:32:30,520
Put another way, Elon Musk today showed the

945
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,980
world how it's done.

946
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,360
Edison and Jobs yesterday, Hitler and Mussolini today.

947
00:32:36,900 --> 00:32:39,960
This is why the media is just not

948
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:40,340
trustworthy.

949
00:32:40,340 --> 00:32:43,500
By the way, Rob, the constitutional lawyer, says

950
00:32:43,500 --> 00:32:45,620
it's defamation per se.

951
00:32:45,780 --> 00:32:46,840
I don't know why he says per se,

952
00:32:46,940 --> 00:32:47,680
it's lawyer talk.

953
00:32:48,260 --> 00:32:54,520
What he means is defamation.

954
00:32:54,700 --> 00:32:56,600
Yeah, I know what he means.

955
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:58,100
Good, I'm glad you do.

956
00:32:58,100 --> 00:32:59,020
It's defamation per se.

957
00:32:59,140 --> 00:32:59,820
Yes, per se.

958
00:33:00,340 --> 00:33:01,000
Per se.

959
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,220
Whatever per se means.

960
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:07,420
Although, this is an interesting moment because I'm

961
00:33:07,420 --> 00:33:08,920
just going to have to say it again.

962
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,020
AOC, she has a shot.

963
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,560
She has a shot.

964
00:33:13,660 --> 00:33:14,540
She's got the look.

965
00:33:14,620 --> 00:33:15,700
She's got the energy.

966
00:33:16,220 --> 00:33:18,300
She's got an old sidekick.

967
00:33:19,460 --> 00:33:22,180
Now, she was in Denver, and the people

968
00:33:22,180 --> 00:33:23,140
loved her.

969
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,100
With Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio

970
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:30,180
-Cortez touring the country, Denver delivered a loud

971
00:33:30,180 --> 00:33:31,180
message of support.

972
00:33:31,180 --> 00:33:33,740
In the hundreds of rallies that I have

973
00:33:33,740 --> 00:33:37,680
done, we have never, ever had a rally

974
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,480
as large as this.

975
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,840
An estimated 30,000 people filled Denver's Civic

976
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,080
Center Park Friday night.

977
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,540
This registered independent voter came from Durango.

978
00:33:46,660 --> 00:33:48,220
You know, he speaks for all of us.

979
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,420
He speaks for inclusivity.

980
00:33:50,020 --> 00:33:52,380
He speaks for human rights across the board.

981
00:33:52,780 --> 00:33:56,080
Sanders and AOC railed against President Trump, Elon

982
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,960
Musk, and widespread cuts to federal programs and

983
00:33:58,960 --> 00:33:59,300
employees.

984
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:03,820
This nation was built by working people.

985
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,199
And we're not going to let a handful

986
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:11,219
of billionaires run the government.

987
00:34:11,820 --> 00:34:15,500
And our political system is ill-prepared for

988
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:17,580
this kind of abuse of power.

989
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:21,840
In fact, much of our political system enables

990
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:22,179
it.

991
00:34:22,340 --> 00:34:25,460
But both also had pointed comments for Democrats.

992
00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:30,860
There is today profound disgust at both political

993
00:34:30,860 --> 00:34:31,440
parties.

994
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:37,320
And that means communities choosing and voting for

995
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,420
Democrats and elected officials who know how to

996
00:34:41,420 --> 00:34:43,560
stand for the working class.

997
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,420
Doubling down on progressive goals like Medicare for

998
00:34:46,420 --> 00:34:48,580
all and raising the federal minimum wage.

999
00:34:48,980 --> 00:34:51,340
Rally goers we spoke with agree the Democratic

1000
00:34:51,340 --> 00:34:52,699
Party needs to change.

1001
00:34:52,699 --> 00:34:56,320
We need more Bernie and less Chuck.

1002
00:34:56,580 --> 00:34:58,060
We're not going to take it lying down.

1003
00:34:58,220 --> 00:34:59,480
We're going to stand up.

1004
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,080
It's going to take a big effort on

1005
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,200
everyone to quit criticizing each other.

1006
00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:06,500
And just coalesce on how is this movement

1007
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:08,480
going to move forward in a way that

1008
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,700
we make everyone feel welcome.

1009
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,900
For Sanders and AOC supporters, Friday's turnout is

1010
00:35:13,900 --> 00:35:15,700
a sign that their message is a popular

1011
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:16,080
one.

1012
00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:18,320
And they say the right one moving forward.

1013
00:35:18,820 --> 00:35:19,960
Yeah, well they got a big crowd.

1014
00:35:20,860 --> 00:35:21,400
Real big crowd.

1015
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:26,760
This is the idea that the party should

1016
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,720
not move toward the center but move more

1017
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:30,280
left.

1018
00:35:30,740 --> 00:35:32,740
That's the reason they didn't do well is

1019
00:35:32,740 --> 00:35:34,160
because they weren't progressive.

1020
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:35,840
They weren't communist enough.

1021
00:35:35,900 --> 00:35:40,220
The public wants a communist government.

1022
00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:42,180
Marxist ideas.

1023
00:35:42,980 --> 00:35:44,280
Because that's what they want.

1024
00:35:44,700 --> 00:35:45,800
Yes, well that's what they want.

1025
00:35:46,580 --> 00:35:48,960
This is a new group.

1026
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,240
Well, it's not a new group.

1027
00:35:50,820 --> 00:35:52,240
It's the Ethical Union.

1028
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,040
And you have these Ethical Unions everywhere in

1029
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:55,420
the world.

1030
00:35:56,220 --> 00:35:57,100
Have you heard of this group?

1031
00:35:57,260 --> 00:35:58,400
The Ethical Union?

1032
00:35:59,060 --> 00:35:59,260
No.

1033
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,400
So they were taking advantage of the situation.

1034
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,180
And it's not just the United States.

1035
00:36:04,380 --> 00:36:07,400
But we have far right governments all over

1036
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:07,760
Europe.

1037
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,540
So everybody was protesting throughout Europe.

1038
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:12,940
Listen to this clip.

1039
00:36:12,940 --> 00:36:15,280
More than 10,000 people gathered in Dam

1040
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,140
Square in the Dutch capital Amsterdam to participate

1041
00:36:18,140 --> 00:36:20,560
in anti-racism and fascism protests.

1042
00:36:21,020 --> 00:36:22,940
Just a minor point, but The Hague is

1043
00:36:22,940 --> 00:36:24,000
the capital, not Amsterdam.

1044
00:36:24,420 --> 00:36:27,080
The demonstration comes against the backdrop of the

1045
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,100
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

1046
00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:30,520
You can't make that kind of mistake and

1047
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:31,640
then do a report.

1048
00:36:32,020 --> 00:36:32,940
Well, it's a mistake.

1049
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,000
It's Euronews, so we let them slide.

1050
00:36:35,260 --> 00:36:35,960
It's Euronews.

1051
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,680
Demonstration comes against the backdrop of the International

1052
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,080
Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

1053
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,140
Another day we missed.

1054
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,720
We missed the International Day for Elimination of

1055
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:46,340
Racism.

1056
00:36:46,900 --> 00:36:48,940
...annually on the 21st of March.

1057
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,260
Protesters held signs reading, Never Again, as they

1058
00:36:52,260 --> 00:36:53,920
warned against the rise of the far right

1059
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,960
across Europe, drawing memory to its disastrous history

1060
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,140
in the 20th century.

1061
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,360
Now, was Hitler a far right, John?

1062
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:02,660
Just help me remember.

1063
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:06,280
Technically, technically.

1064
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,300
Based on the American educational system, Hitler was

1065
00:37:10,300 --> 00:37:11,640
far right, even though it was a National

1066
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:12,740
Socialist Party.

1067
00:37:12,820 --> 00:37:13,400
Yes, yes.

1068
00:37:13,740 --> 00:37:18,520
But technically, based on the teachings that we

1069
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,760
have received in our university system, he is

1070
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,300
far right.

1071
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,300
Demonstrators also waved Palestinian flags in solidarity with

1072
00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:28,820
the people of Gaza after Israel moved to

1073
00:37:28,820 --> 00:37:31,080
resume the fighting following the breakdown of a

1074
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,460
fragile truce with Hamas.

1075
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,520
Protests also took place in France across multiple

1076
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,240
cities, including the capital Paris, as well as

1077
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:39,180
Lyon and Toulouse.

1078
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,320
The French Interior Ministry says some 91,000

1079
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,680
people participated in the nationwide rallies.

1080
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:48,100
Protesters voiced their rejection of far right parties

1081
00:37:48,100 --> 00:37:50,680
amid the rightward shift in French politics and

1082
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,680
the government's recent pledge to crack down on

1083
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:53,140
immigration.

1084
00:37:54,220 --> 00:37:57,820
Protesters also waved Palestinian flags and carried placards

1085
00:37:57,820 --> 00:38:00,840
accusing President Emmanuel Macron of complicity in what

1086
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,480
they called an unfolding genocide.

1087
00:38:02,820 --> 00:38:07,820
So these placards, many professionally printed, the ethical

1088
00:38:07,820 --> 00:38:08,300
union.

1089
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:10,000
And so I looked up, there's the American

1090
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,060
Ethical Union, and you have ethical unions around

1091
00:38:13,060 --> 00:38:13,460
the world.

1092
00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:16,180
And it says we're a 501c3.

1093
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,880
So I go to look up their form

1094
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:19,520
990.

1095
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,580
I was interested to see how much money

1096
00:38:21,580 --> 00:38:22,180
they have.

1097
00:38:22,260 --> 00:38:23,700
Can we find out where it's coming from?

1098
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:24,600
Who's getting the big dough?

1099
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,460
This organization is not required to file an

1100
00:38:27,460 --> 00:38:30,020
annual return with the IRS because it is

1101
00:38:30,020 --> 00:38:30,620
a church.

1102
00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:32,500
How about that?

1103
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,700
Oh, that was an interesting workaround.

1104
00:38:36,380 --> 00:38:38,500
Yes, the American Ethical Union, Inc.

1105
00:38:38,660 --> 00:38:39,340
is a church.

1106
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:41,000
It's like Church of Scientology.

1107
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:41,680
What kind of a church is that?

1108
00:38:41,780 --> 00:38:42,800
They're like Church of Scientology.

1109
00:38:42,820 --> 00:38:44,820
I'll give credit, I'll say the church, I

1110
00:38:44,820 --> 00:38:46,780
can say the Church of Scientology, I can

1111
00:38:46,780 --> 00:38:47,160
give them.

1112
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:48,840
It says the word church.

1113
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,640
Yes, at least it has church in it.

1114
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,240
This doesn't sound anything like a church.

1115
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:55,080
Do they have services?

1116
00:38:55,620 --> 00:38:57,660
Is there a building where you can go

1117
00:38:57,660 --> 00:38:58,260
to the church?

1118
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,620
They have outdoor services on the street with

1119
00:39:00,620 --> 00:39:01,260
placards.

1120
00:39:02,780 --> 00:39:03,260
Placards.

1121
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,880
Sounds like a scam.

1122
00:39:05,260 --> 00:39:06,520
They need a cathedral.

1123
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,540
At least the Scientologists have a cathedral.

1124
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,460
What was that article you sent me about

1125
00:39:11,460 --> 00:39:13,420
Pam Bondi being...

1126
00:39:13,420 --> 00:39:15,160
I didn't send you an article.

1127
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,460
I sent you a...

1128
00:39:16,460 --> 00:39:17,180
Substack.

1129
00:39:19,270 --> 00:39:20,050
What was it?

1130
00:39:20,350 --> 00:39:21,390
I thought it was a video.

1131
00:39:22,270 --> 00:39:22,730
Oh, no.

1132
00:39:23,010 --> 00:39:23,230
It was a YouTube.

1133
00:39:23,230 --> 00:39:24,430
No, no, no, no.

1134
00:39:24,430 --> 00:39:25,370
I don't think it was a YouTube.

1135
00:39:25,610 --> 00:39:28,210
Yeah, Pam Bondi is very closely associated with

1136
00:39:28,210 --> 00:39:29,990
the Church of Scientology in Florida.

1137
00:39:30,290 --> 00:39:30,490
Yeah.

1138
00:39:31,130 --> 00:39:33,030
But I'm not buying...

1139
00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:33,730
I'm not buying it.

1140
00:39:33,730 --> 00:39:34,510
You're not buying it.

1141
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:36,990
I'm not buying the fact that she's...

1142
00:39:36,990 --> 00:39:39,090
This guy has...

1143
00:39:39,090 --> 00:39:40,650
No, it was a video because it was

1144
00:39:40,650 --> 00:39:43,510
a YouTube guy who's one of the guys

1145
00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:45,050
who quit the Church of Scientology.

1146
00:39:46,010 --> 00:39:48,050
Life's blood now is to bitch and moan

1147
00:39:48,050 --> 00:39:49,470
about the Church of Scientology.

1148
00:39:49,770 --> 00:39:49,950
Yeah.

1149
00:39:49,950 --> 00:39:50,810
I've had...

1150
00:39:50,810 --> 00:39:52,950
When I did a radio show, I had

1151
00:39:52,950 --> 00:39:55,550
the Church of Scientology people on every so

1152
00:39:55,550 --> 00:39:58,670
often when they needed to explain something that

1153
00:39:58,670 --> 00:39:59,770
was going on that had to do with

1154
00:39:59,770 --> 00:40:00,470
tech and the news.

1155
00:40:00,630 --> 00:40:01,130
Tom Cruise.

1156
00:40:01,230 --> 00:40:03,010
Whenever Tom Cruise was in the news...

1157
00:40:03,010 --> 00:40:03,770
Oh, if Tom Cruise wanted to come on

1158
00:40:03,770 --> 00:40:04,470
the show, no problem.

1159
00:40:04,650 --> 00:40:04,750
Yeah.

1160
00:40:04,930 --> 00:40:07,370
But I find...

1161
00:40:07,370 --> 00:40:11,890
You know, the people who quit the Church

1162
00:40:11,890 --> 00:40:14,750
of Scientology for one reason or another...

1163
00:40:14,750 --> 00:40:17,090
And I think this guy that's running the

1164
00:40:17,090 --> 00:40:19,830
Church currently is not necessarily a good guy.

1165
00:40:20,730 --> 00:40:23,750
I just can't get into it to be

1166
00:40:23,750 --> 00:40:25,710
just a Church of Scientology hater.

1167
00:40:26,050 --> 00:40:29,070
And I don't believe Pam Bondi's like a

1168
00:40:29,070 --> 00:40:30,970
stooge for the Church of Scientology.

1169
00:40:31,130 --> 00:40:32,990
She just takes advantage of the fact that

1170
00:40:32,990 --> 00:40:36,030
she will exploit their vote.

1171
00:40:37,010 --> 00:40:37,570
Yes.

1172
00:40:38,510 --> 00:40:39,970
And I think it's smart.

1173
00:40:41,490 --> 00:40:43,370
Church of Scientology is very interesting.

1174
00:40:44,630 --> 00:40:46,230
I still have my e-meter.

1175
00:40:47,230 --> 00:40:48,310
I have an e-meter.

1176
00:40:48,510 --> 00:40:49,490
You have an e-meter too?

1177
00:40:49,650 --> 00:40:50,090
In a suitcase?

1178
00:40:50,350 --> 00:40:51,550
It's in a suitcase.

1179
00:40:51,730 --> 00:40:52,250
It's huge.

1180
00:40:52,390 --> 00:40:52,490
Yeah.

1181
00:40:52,550 --> 00:40:53,450
I have it in a suitcase with the

1182
00:40:53,450 --> 00:40:55,770
two really big electrodes you hold onto.

1183
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:56,990
Yeah.

1184
00:40:57,270 --> 00:40:58,570
I don't know who sent it.

1185
00:40:58,750 --> 00:40:59,930
One of our producers sent it to me.

1186
00:40:59,930 --> 00:41:00,210
One of our producers.

1187
00:41:00,670 --> 00:41:00,830
Yeah.

1188
00:41:00,890 --> 00:41:01,810
We both got one.

1189
00:41:02,370 --> 00:41:02,570
Yeah.

1190
00:41:02,990 --> 00:41:04,590
How many does this guy have?

1191
00:41:04,690 --> 00:41:06,750
I should probably just hook myself up to

1192
00:41:06,750 --> 00:41:07,470
it during the show.

1193
00:41:07,830 --> 00:41:08,270
It's a hell of a...

1194
00:41:08,910 --> 00:41:11,750
It's basically supposedly kind of a lie detector.

1195
00:41:12,030 --> 00:41:12,430
No.

1196
00:41:12,430 --> 00:41:14,590
Do they even use them anymore?

1197
00:41:14,730 --> 00:41:16,110
It's not a lie detector.

1198
00:41:16,310 --> 00:41:17,510
It's to see if you're clear.

1199
00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:20,550
It's basically a lie detector.

1200
00:41:21,930 --> 00:41:23,990
And they put you in...

1201
00:41:23,990 --> 00:41:25,770
I don't know if they even do this

1202
00:41:25,770 --> 00:41:26,010
anymore.

1203
00:41:26,090 --> 00:41:27,230
They used to be on the streets of

1204
00:41:27,230 --> 00:41:27,770
San Francisco.

1205
00:41:27,950 --> 00:41:29,090
There'd be a bunch of people with the

1206
00:41:29,090 --> 00:41:29,730
e-meters.

1207
00:41:30,330 --> 00:41:31,110
Hey, buddy.

1208
00:41:31,210 --> 00:41:32,350
You want to take...

1209
00:41:33,010 --> 00:41:34,710
Usually have a pretty girl.

1210
00:41:35,070 --> 00:41:36,090
It was a great bit.

1211
00:41:37,170 --> 00:41:39,590
They have like a dynamite pretty girl with

1212
00:41:39,590 --> 00:41:40,790
real nice eyes.

1213
00:41:40,790 --> 00:41:42,550
And then they hook you to the e

1214
00:41:42,550 --> 00:41:42,750
-meter.

1215
00:41:42,910 --> 00:41:45,150
And then she'd stare at you until you

1216
00:41:45,150 --> 00:41:46,190
fell in love with her.

1217
00:41:47,130 --> 00:41:48,410
And the next thing you know, you're a

1218
00:41:48,410 --> 00:41:49,310
member of the church.

1219
00:41:49,490 --> 00:41:52,430
Or you're signing up for Dianetics or something.

1220
00:41:52,570 --> 00:41:55,530
And it's just an astonishing process that they

1221
00:41:55,530 --> 00:41:56,970
seem to drop the ball on.

1222
00:41:57,130 --> 00:41:57,670
I have it here.

1223
00:41:57,710 --> 00:41:58,050
Right here.

1224
00:41:58,090 --> 00:41:58,790
I got the suitcase.

1225
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,330
I knew I had it in my...

1226
00:42:00,330 --> 00:42:01,610
It says on the front...

1227
00:42:01,610 --> 00:42:04,870
It says Mark Super Quantum.

1228
00:42:05,070 --> 00:42:05,470
Quantum!

1229
00:42:06,230 --> 00:42:07,190
Who would have thought?

1230
00:42:08,090 --> 00:42:08,990
I'm going to open it up.

1231
00:42:09,870 --> 00:42:10,730
Let me see.

1232
00:42:11,550 --> 00:42:13,010
When you open it up, a bunch of

1233
00:42:13,010 --> 00:42:13,790
stuff falls out.

1234
00:42:13,870 --> 00:42:14,370
No, no, no.

1235
00:42:14,950 --> 00:42:16,530
How come I can't open it?

1236
00:42:17,690 --> 00:42:18,930
Because you're not a member.

1237
00:42:20,130 --> 00:42:20,930
Oh, here we go.

1238
00:42:21,050 --> 00:42:21,590
You're not clear.

1239
00:42:21,790 --> 00:42:22,410
Here we go.

1240
00:42:22,490 --> 00:42:22,990
It's open.

1241
00:42:23,090 --> 00:42:23,530
Here we go.

1242
00:42:24,150 --> 00:42:24,350
Yeah.

1243
00:42:25,030 --> 00:42:27,310
Do you have the instructions and everything?

1244
00:42:27,950 --> 00:42:29,510
I haven't looked at it for years.

1245
00:42:30,030 --> 00:42:30,450
You know what?

1246
00:42:30,650 --> 00:42:31,550
Oh, this is interesting.

1247
00:42:32,010 --> 00:42:35,090
It has a little white thing in there.

1248
00:42:36,270 --> 00:42:37,150
It looks like...

1249
00:42:37,150 --> 00:42:39,390
That's called the radio, and you're being broadcast

1250
00:42:39,390 --> 00:42:41,070
right now to the communists.

1251
00:42:41,090 --> 00:42:44,270
It looks like a modern hard drive that

1252
00:42:44,270 --> 00:42:45,610
you put in, you know, like flat.

1253
00:42:46,290 --> 00:42:48,630
And it says, Calibration Resistors.

1254
00:42:49,890 --> 00:42:52,090
Courtesy of Hubbard Electrometer Manufacturing.

1255
00:42:52,730 --> 00:42:54,070
5,000 ohms.

1256
00:42:54,810 --> 00:42:55,710
Oh, my God.

1257
00:42:56,710 --> 00:42:58,050
These guys are nuts.

1258
00:42:59,010 --> 00:43:00,210
It's a cool device, though.

1259
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,680
Well, it was very effective at recruiting.

1260
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,140
No, I think that was the girl with

1261
00:43:06,140 --> 00:43:08,040
the nice eyes that was effective at recruiting.

1262
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:09,960
Yeah, well, that's for sure.

1263
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,600
And so, yeah.

1264
00:43:13,860 --> 00:43:16,560
So Pam Bondi's got this, so they're trying

1265
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,040
to smear her for that, and I'm not

1266
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,000
buying it.

1267
00:43:23,020 --> 00:43:24,120
Let me see.

1268
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,480
But it's good to know.

1269
00:43:25,980 --> 00:43:30,040
So then we have an interesting position taken

1270
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,480
by the Trump administration to the attacks on

1271
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:34,060
Teslas.

1272
00:43:34,060 --> 00:43:35,640
And this evening, there is news amid the

1273
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,800
growing number of attacks on Tesla vehicles and

1274
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,860
dealerships, arson and vandalism across the U.S.

1275
00:43:41,180 --> 00:43:43,140
There are multiple people under arrest tonight.

1276
00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:45,160
And Attorney General Pam Bondi now calling the

1277
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,940
attacks domestic terrorism.

1278
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,000
And what Elon Musk says the company is

1279
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:49,540
now doing.

1280
00:43:49,980 --> 00:43:52,320
Here's our chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Katursky, tonight.

1281
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,520
Tonight, Elon Musk says his company is stepping

1282
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,540
up security after a wave of firebombings, shootings

1283
00:43:58,540 --> 00:44:00,480
and vandalism targeting Tesla.

1284
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,940
As part of the enhanced security, Tesla is

1285
00:44:02,940 --> 00:44:05,460
activating sentry mode on every car in the

1286
00:44:05,460 --> 00:44:05,960
dealership.

1287
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,740
That means security sensors and cameras are on

1288
00:44:08,740 --> 00:44:09,660
and recording.

1289
00:44:10,140 --> 00:44:12,100
Watch as sentry mode is activated on this

1290
00:44:12,100 --> 00:44:12,980
Tesla this week.

1291
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,940
A man seen allegedly keying the car in

1292
00:44:14,940 --> 00:44:17,060
a parking lot in San Jose was arrested

1293
00:44:17,060 --> 00:44:18,860
and charged with felony vandalism.

1294
00:44:19,220 --> 00:44:21,520
Today, Attorney General Pam Bondi said those charged

1295
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,200
with destroying Tesla property are part of a

1296
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,920
wave of domestic terrorism.

1297
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,880
Prosecutors said a suspect arrested for throwing Molotov

1298
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,200
cocktails at a dealership in Salem, Oregon, was

1299
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,220
also armed with a high-powered rifle.

1300
00:44:33,620 --> 00:44:36,320
Prosecutors said another suspect, who allegedly tried to

1301
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,620
set fire to Teslas in Loveland, Colorado, was

1302
00:44:38,620 --> 00:44:40,840
found with materials to produce firebombs.

1303
00:44:41,180 --> 00:44:43,600
And Daniel Clark Pounder, accused of torching a

1304
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,180
Tesla charging station in South Carolina and spray

1305
00:44:46,180 --> 00:44:49,060
-painting profane messages, allegedly found with a three

1306
00:44:49,060 --> 00:44:52,060
-page letter voicing objections to President Trump and

1307
00:44:52,060 --> 00:44:55,140
Elon Musk's federal layoffs, writing, we will not

1308
00:44:55,140 --> 00:44:56,340
stand idly by.

1309
00:44:56,980 --> 00:44:59,540
So I looked it up, the definition of

1310
00:44:59,540 --> 00:45:02,960
domestic terrorism, and it seems to fit as

1311
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,600
it needs to involve acts dangerous to human

1312
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,400
life, okay, I think that's true, that are

1313
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,060
a violation of the criminal laws of the

1314
00:45:10,060 --> 00:45:12,800
United States or of any state and appear

1315
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,860
to be intended to intimidate or coerce a

1316
00:45:15,860 --> 00:45:20,100
civilian population, influence the policy of government by

1317
00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:23,660
intimidation or coercion, or affect the conduct of

1318
00:45:23,660 --> 00:45:27,000
a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping,

1319
00:45:27,220 --> 00:45:30,920
and occurring primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of

1320
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:31,640
the United States.

1321
00:45:32,540 --> 00:45:34,220
So I guess, yeah, I guess you can

1322
00:45:34,220 --> 00:45:37,540
define it that way, it's domestic terrorism.

1323
00:45:37,860 --> 00:45:39,540
Yeah, well, that adds to the charges.

1324
00:45:40,300 --> 00:45:40,820
Yeah.

1325
00:45:41,540 --> 00:45:44,040
It's so odd, though, why people do this.

1326
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:46,700
It is odd.

1327
00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:47,360
It is.

1328
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,800
And the number of people that have been

1329
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,480
caught on camera, especially if somebody parks their

1330
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,960
Tesla in a parking lot, they always have

1331
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:54,820
the cameras on.

1332
00:45:55,540 --> 00:45:57,600
People don't realize there's like eight cameras on

1333
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,760
a Tesla that are just recording everything going

1334
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:00,720
on around the Tesla.

1335
00:46:00,900 --> 00:46:01,060
Yeah.

1336
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,360
And it's sending it to headquarters, too, so

1337
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:05,660
there's nothing you can do about, you know,

1338
00:46:05,660 --> 00:46:07,600
you can't erase the tapes.

1339
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,820
And I think that's what happens.

1340
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,760
So they catch a guy walking by and

1341
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,460
he's going back and forth and he's keying,

1342
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,180
you know, subtly, oh, so subtle, keying the

1343
00:46:19,180 --> 00:46:19,480
car.

1344
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:20,140
Yeah.

1345
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:21,840
And it's like, why?

1346
00:46:22,060 --> 00:46:24,020
Why are you keying somebody's Tesla?

1347
00:46:25,100 --> 00:46:27,020
It just makes, I don't get it.

1348
00:46:27,100 --> 00:46:28,800
What kind of nut are you?

1349
00:46:30,380 --> 00:46:32,200
These people should be taken off the street.

1350
00:46:32,300 --> 00:46:34,960
That's actually a very European type of protest

1351
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,780
to do that kind of destruction, like destroying

1352
00:46:37,780 --> 00:46:38,600
people's property.

1353
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:39,880
That's what they do in Europe.

1354
00:46:39,980 --> 00:46:41,400
That's not really an American thing.

1355
00:46:42,780 --> 00:46:44,960
You know, we go out and wave our

1356
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,220
flags on their stoop and yell at them,

1357
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,220
but we don't really destroy property.

1358
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,880
But yeah, the Elon, it's amazing.

1359
00:46:53,500 --> 00:46:55,960
It's amazing the hate towards him.

1360
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,720
And New York Times wrote this big article,

1361
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,160
SpaceX Positioned to Secure Billions in New Federal

1362
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,480
Contracts Under Trump.

1363
00:47:02,940 --> 00:47:04,740
And just listen to the opening paragraph.

1364
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:05,660
Under Trump.

1365
00:47:05,660 --> 00:47:05,960
Yes.

1366
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,260
Within the Trump administration's Defense Department, Elon Musk's

1367
00:47:09,260 --> 00:47:14,060
SpaceX rocketry is trumpeted as the nifty new

1368
00:47:14,060 --> 00:47:16,820
way the Pentagon could move military cargo rapidly

1369
00:47:16,820 --> 00:47:17,800
around the globe.

1370
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,300
In the Commerce Department, SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet

1371
00:47:22,300 --> 00:47:24,240
service will now be fully eligible for the

1372
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:28,340
federal government's $42 billion rural broadband push after

1373
00:47:28,340 --> 00:47:30,380
being largely shut out during the Biden era.

1374
00:47:32,420 --> 00:47:36,120
And it's like, do these people know that

1375
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,340
SpaceX has always been a government company?

1376
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:41,060
It always has been.

1377
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,160
I mean, it's NASA people who work there.

1378
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,440
I mean, they're not getting money from me.

1379
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,720
No, well, Starlink, but that was always a

1380
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:50,720
military project.

1381
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:56,160
And as a minor aside, the FAA really

1382
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:57,180
needs to do something.

1383
00:47:57,180 --> 00:47:59,220
We know from our air traffic controllers that

1384
00:47:59,220 --> 00:48:01,400
they have to sometimes resort to dial up

1385
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,880
just to get weather data because their dedicated

1386
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:05,880
lines go down.

1387
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:10,060
I think the Starlink system would be a

1388
00:48:10,060 --> 00:48:10,940
big plus.

1389
00:48:12,140 --> 00:48:13,520
It's just all this hate.

1390
00:48:13,700 --> 00:48:14,820
It makes me tired.

1391
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:18,760
I'm tired, man.

1392
00:48:18,820 --> 00:48:19,580
I'm tired of the hate.

1393
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,020
Oh, you poor tired kid.

1394
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:21,320
I know.

1395
00:48:21,380 --> 00:48:21,940
It's horrible.

1396
00:48:22,340 --> 00:48:22,460
I know.

1397
00:48:22,980 --> 00:48:24,580
I have some clips I can bring the

1398
00:48:24,580 --> 00:48:25,440
Christian out in.

1399
00:48:25,780 --> 00:48:26,300
Oh, OK.

1400
00:48:26,300 --> 00:48:27,920
Bring the Christian out on me.

1401
00:48:28,020 --> 00:48:28,460
All right.

1402
00:48:28,580 --> 00:48:30,160
You mean the Jesus lover?

1403
00:48:30,460 --> 00:48:30,960
All right.

1404
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:32,360
Give it to me.

1405
00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:33,800
Well, I got to figure out what these

1406
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:34,540
clips are.

1407
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,160
Empathy.

1408
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:37,720
Empathy bad.

1409
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,300
And this brings Elon into the picture.

1410
00:48:39,380 --> 00:48:41,640
This is a good, good, good series of

1411
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:41,960
clips.

1412
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,800
People tend to think of empathy or caring

1413
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,200
about other people's feelings as a good thing.

1414
00:48:47,460 --> 00:48:49,960
But in some conservative circles, there's a growing

1415
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,860
chorus of voices arguing that empathy could be

1416
00:48:52,860 --> 00:48:53,360
bad.

1417
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:58,780
The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.

1418
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,040
That's billionaire Elon Musk speaking recently on the

1419
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,040
podcast The Joe Rogan Experience.

1420
00:49:04,740 --> 00:49:07,380
They were discussing the idea that unchecked immigration

1421
00:49:07,380 --> 00:49:10,820
into Western countries is threatening Western political and

1422
00:49:10,820 --> 00:49:11,660
cultural values.

1423
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:15,400
Musk agrees and warns that societies are at

1424
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:16,460
risk of self-destructing.

1425
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,380
There's so much empathy that you actually suicide

1426
00:49:19,380 --> 00:49:19,940
yourself.

1427
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:20,320
Yeah.

1428
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:26,200
So we've got civilizational suicidal empathy going on.

1429
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:28,340
Musk, of course, is a close advisor to

1430
00:49:28,340 --> 00:49:31,360
President Trump and the leader of the administration's

1431
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,080
Doge Initiative, which is making massive cuts to

1432
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:37,760
the federal government, including humanitarian programs at home

1433
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:38,740
and overseas.

1434
00:49:39,740 --> 00:49:42,060
Musk said empathy can be good, but it's

1435
00:49:42,060 --> 00:49:44,840
too often weaponized to persuade well-meaning people

1436
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,420
to support bad ideas.

1437
00:49:46,420 --> 00:49:50,180
In recent months, several high-profile Christian conservatives

1438
00:49:50,180 --> 00:49:52,100
have been sounding similar warnings.

1439
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,200
Oh, this is interesting.

1440
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,740
Well, I'll withhold judgment until after clip number

1441
00:49:57,740 --> 00:49:59,120
two, but I may have to come in

1442
00:49:59,120 --> 00:49:59,360
soon.

1443
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:05,760
Well, you're definitely a highlight of this series.

1444
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:07,700
You're a Christian nationalist.

1445
00:50:09,020 --> 00:50:10,560
I'm a Jesus freak.

1446
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,520
I've never said I'm a Christian nationalist.

1447
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,640
It makes it better for these clips.

1448
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:16,520
Okay.

1449
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,880
For purposes of this demonstration, the part of

1450
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,540
a Christian nationalist will be played by Adam

1451
00:50:21,540 --> 00:50:21,820
Curry.

1452
00:50:22,300 --> 00:50:24,440
Empathy almost needs to be struck from the

1453
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:25,220
Christian vocabulary.

1454
00:50:25,540 --> 00:50:25,780
It does.

1455
00:50:26,140 --> 00:50:26,800
Empathy is dangerous.

1456
00:50:27,020 --> 00:50:27,860
Empathy is toxic.

1457
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:29,700
Empathy will align you with hell.

1458
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,420
I think empathy as hoisted up as the

1459
00:50:33,420 --> 00:50:35,860
highest virtue or even a virtue at all,

1460
00:50:36,260 --> 00:50:38,320
I think that really gets us into a

1461
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:39,200
really big mess.

1462
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,640
Most people have a hard time imagining how

1463
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,360
empathy could ever be harmful.

1464
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,440
And therefore, if I'm the devil, where am

1465
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:47,760
I going to hide some of my most

1466
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:48,800
destructive tactics?

1467
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,940
That was Pastor Josh McPherson on his podcast,

1468
00:50:52,140 --> 00:50:53,320
Stronger Man Nation.

1469
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:53,940
This is great.

1470
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,940
Conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey on the Family

1471
00:50:56,940 --> 00:50:57,740
Talk podcast.

1472
00:50:58,300 --> 00:51:01,060
And author Joe Rigney discussing his book, The

1473
00:51:01,060 --> 00:51:03,480
Sin of Empathy, on a podcast hosted by

1474
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,420
Al Mohler of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

1475
00:51:06,420 --> 00:51:08,140
Oh, where's the Curry and the Keeper podcast

1476
00:51:08,140 --> 00:51:08,980
in this lineup?

1477
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,240
New York Times columnist David French has noticed

1478
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,280
this discourse and wrote about it in a

1479
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,480
recent column called, Behold the Strange Spectacle of

1480
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,020
Christians Against Empathy.

1481
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,680
French says Jesus, the central figure in Christianity,

1482
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:25,180
embodied empathy.

1483
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,000
What was that in that pop?

1484
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:28,920
That was me.

1485
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:30,100
Oh, okay.

1486
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,200
French says Jesus, the central figure in Christianity,

1487
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:35,660
embodied empathy.

1488
00:51:35,660 --> 00:51:35,920
No.

1489
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,620
By coming to earth as a man and

1490
00:51:37,620 --> 00:51:39,420
enduring the human experience.

1491
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,260
French notes that Trump has cut programs long

1492
00:51:42,260 --> 00:51:46,420
supported by many evangelicals and conservative Catholics, including

1493
00:51:46,420 --> 00:51:49,120
funding for religious organizations that help the poor.

1494
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,040
So how do you rationalize this change?

1495
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,040
Okay, hold on.

1496
00:51:53,180 --> 00:51:54,940
They're conflating a couple of things here.

1497
00:51:55,420 --> 00:51:58,420
Working backwards, cutting for the poor.

1498
00:51:58,420 --> 00:52:03,780
These were huge NGOs that were just—I mean,

1499
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:08,140
even the Catholic—no, the Lutherans even distanced themselves

1500
00:52:08,140 --> 00:52:10,560
from the Lutheran charity, saying, we don't really

1501
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:11,400
have anything to do with that.

1502
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,120
They just used our name after World War

1503
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:13,340
II.

1504
00:52:13,780 --> 00:52:16,420
A lot of these groups used, like, the

1505
00:52:16,420 --> 00:52:20,500
Catholic Bishops' Conference, whatever that means, was just

1506
00:52:20,500 --> 00:52:26,000
an NGO to take money to resettle migrants,

1507
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:27,560
illegal aliens.

1508
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,740
Yeah, these were scams.

1509
00:52:30,020 --> 00:52:30,540
Scams.

1510
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:36,680
But Christianity—as a Christian nationalist, for purposes of

1511
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,360
this discussion, empathy has nothing to do with

1512
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:39,720
Jesus.

1513
00:52:40,420 --> 00:52:41,540
Compassion, yes.

1514
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:47,220
Empathy is a psychosis, where you take on

1515
00:52:47,220 --> 00:52:48,920
another person's feelings.

1516
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:54,080
It has nothing to do with Christian nationalism.

1517
00:52:57,270 --> 00:52:58,450
Well spoken.

1518
00:52:58,610 --> 00:52:59,070
Oh, right.

1519
00:52:59,070 --> 00:53:01,710
And I think that that's why some of

1520
00:53:01,710 --> 00:53:04,510
these arguments about toxic empathy and other concepts

1521
00:53:04,510 --> 00:53:09,050
are falling upon willing and open ears, because

1522
00:53:09,050 --> 00:53:12,370
people are looking for a moral frame around

1523
00:53:12,370 --> 00:53:14,310
which they can fit the Trump movement.

1524
00:53:15,150 --> 00:53:19,050
And decrying empathy helps them do that.

1525
00:53:19,310 --> 00:53:22,250
Some conservatives also argue that women are especially

1526
00:53:22,250 --> 00:53:25,410
susceptible to being misled by appeals to empathy,

1527
00:53:25,410 --> 00:53:27,590
often when it comes to helping people who

1528
00:53:27,590 --> 00:53:29,210
are suffering or in need.

1529
00:53:29,730 --> 00:53:32,130
Here's Allie Beth Stuckey on Family Talk.

1530
00:53:32,610 --> 00:53:39,010
They'll use emotional, compassionate, kind-sounding language in

1531
00:53:39,010 --> 00:53:40,650
order to get a woman to think, well,

1532
00:53:40,670 --> 00:53:42,190
in order to be a good person, in

1533
00:53:42,190 --> 00:53:43,950
order to be kind, in order to even

1534
00:53:43,950 --> 00:53:47,530
love my neighbor, then I have to be

1535
00:53:47,530 --> 00:53:49,310
pro-open borders.

1536
00:53:49,450 --> 00:53:51,090
I have to be pro-LGBTQ.

1537
00:53:51,230 --> 00:53:53,330
I have to be pro-choice.

1538
00:53:53,330 --> 00:53:56,310
In an interview with NPR, Joe Rigney said

1539
00:53:56,310 --> 00:53:59,710
he believes women are more naturally empathetic, which

1540
00:53:59,710 --> 00:54:01,290
makes them better nurturers.

1541
00:54:01,870 --> 00:54:04,270
Rigney says they're also more likely to reject

1542
00:54:04,270 --> 00:54:07,110
church teachings they see as lacking compassion.

1543
00:54:07,450 --> 00:54:09,870
And in that kind of context, the empathetic

1544
00:54:09,870 --> 00:54:12,270
sex is ill-suited precisely because of the

1545
00:54:12,270 --> 00:54:15,010
ways that that empathy can be manipulated into,

1546
00:54:15,010 --> 00:54:18,370
say, refusing to draw lines, or in the

1547
00:54:18,370 --> 00:54:22,650
name of helping an oppressed group, we're going

1548
00:54:22,650 --> 00:54:25,590
to abandon our biblical confession or something like

1549
00:54:25,590 --> 00:54:25,830
that.

1550
00:54:25,890 --> 00:54:28,730
What is the purpose of this piece they

1551
00:54:28,730 --> 00:54:28,970
did?

1552
00:54:29,030 --> 00:54:30,490
Because I find it fascinating.

1553
00:54:31,990 --> 00:54:35,130
Empathy is literally the problem.

1554
00:54:35,250 --> 00:54:37,170
That is, the problem we have in America

1555
00:54:37,170 --> 00:54:38,510
is empathy.

1556
00:54:40,710 --> 00:54:41,610
Toxic empathy.

1557
00:54:41,610 --> 00:54:44,750
Well, I didn't hear Allie Beth Stuckey say

1558
00:54:44,750 --> 00:54:45,290
toxic.

1559
00:54:45,530 --> 00:54:47,250
Somebody said it in that report.

1560
00:54:47,350 --> 00:54:48,950
The PBS lady said it.

1561
00:54:50,630 --> 00:54:53,250
Well, the purpose is going to be revealed

1562
00:54:53,250 --> 00:54:57,090
with a clip after the series is over.

1563
00:54:57,150 --> 00:54:57,990
I think that was clip three?

1564
00:54:58,170 --> 00:54:59,410
Yes, this is clip four.

1565
00:54:59,510 --> 00:55:00,530
Yeah, we'll finish it, and then I'll play

1566
00:55:00,530 --> 00:55:01,810
the reveal clip.

1567
00:55:01,810 --> 00:55:02,850
Oh, okay, I'm excited.

1568
00:55:07,990 --> 00:55:11,070
David French, meanwhile, says the idea that women

1569
00:55:11,070 --> 00:55:14,490
are unique, uniquely vulnerable to manipulation ties in

1570
00:55:14,490 --> 00:55:17,930
closely with Christian nationalism, the idea that Christian

1571
00:55:17,930 --> 00:55:19,530
men should run the country.

1572
00:55:19,730 --> 00:55:22,790
And so you do have quite a bit

1573
00:55:22,790 --> 00:55:27,170
of literature in the far right, the Christian

1574
00:55:27,170 --> 00:55:30,450
nationalist right, that is decrying what they see

1575
00:55:30,450 --> 00:55:34,550
as the, quote, feminized church, feminized political discourse.

1576
00:55:35,090 --> 00:55:38,010
They say that America is a gynocracy is

1577
00:55:38,010 --> 00:55:38,990
what they will call it.

1578
00:55:40,590 --> 00:55:41,830
Hold on a second.

1579
00:55:41,850 --> 00:55:43,530
We were just talking about that in church

1580
00:55:43,530 --> 00:55:43,930
today.

1581
00:55:44,610 --> 00:55:46,050
Who ever said this?

1582
00:55:46,070 --> 00:55:47,150
I've never heard this.

1583
00:55:47,310 --> 00:55:49,110
I never heard the word in my life.

1584
00:55:49,210 --> 00:55:51,130
We've been doing this show for 17 plus

1585
00:55:51,130 --> 00:55:55,010
years, and I've never heard the term gynocracy.

1586
00:55:55,250 --> 00:55:57,170
Did you say gynocracy or dynocracy?

1587
00:55:57,610 --> 00:55:59,670
No, gy, like gynecology.

1588
00:56:00,090 --> 00:56:00,930
Oh, gyno.

1589
00:56:01,030 --> 00:56:03,110
Female-oriented democracy.

1590
00:56:03,830 --> 00:56:04,050
Oh.

1591
00:56:04,810 --> 00:56:05,290
Gynocracy.

1592
00:56:05,350 --> 00:56:05,990
No, I've never heard this.

1593
00:56:05,990 --> 00:56:06,790
G-Y-N.

1594
00:56:07,290 --> 00:56:08,550
No, I've never heard this.

1595
00:56:08,550 --> 00:56:10,210
Feminized political discourse.

1596
00:56:10,330 --> 00:56:10,710
Wait, hold on.

1597
00:56:10,770 --> 00:56:12,350
You've never heard it, and you're the Christian

1598
00:56:12,350 --> 00:56:12,790
nationalist.

1599
00:56:12,930 --> 00:56:14,530
You should have heard this over and over.

1600
00:56:14,610 --> 00:56:16,750
We should be talking about it in the

1601
00:56:16,750 --> 00:56:17,370
Connect Center.

1602
00:56:19,010 --> 00:56:19,490
Okay.

1603
00:56:19,830 --> 00:56:21,550
After church when we're drinking coffee.

1604
00:56:22,130 --> 00:56:23,990
This gynocracy is just no good.

1605
00:56:24,790 --> 00:56:27,490
They say that America is a gynocracy is

1606
00:56:27,490 --> 00:56:28,450
what they will call it.

1607
00:56:29,190 --> 00:56:31,310
And that empathy element is a part of

1608
00:56:31,310 --> 00:56:31,850
their argument.

1609
00:56:32,410 --> 00:56:35,290
Rigney says he wouldn't flinch from being described

1610
00:56:35,290 --> 00:56:36,510
as a Christian nationalist.

1611
00:56:36,510 --> 00:56:38,970
And I want society to be Christian.

1612
00:56:39,110 --> 00:56:40,370
So, yes, I think it's true.

1613
00:56:40,430 --> 00:56:41,410
I think it's good for the world.

1614
00:56:41,510 --> 00:56:43,050
And I think it's, quite frankly, good for

1615
00:56:43,050 --> 00:56:44,150
religious minorities.

1616
00:56:44,590 --> 00:56:46,330
I think that in many ways, in the

1617
00:56:46,330 --> 00:56:48,770
absence of that, tyranny is inevitable.

1618
00:56:49,110 --> 00:56:51,670
French says he worries that some Christians have

1619
00:56:51,670 --> 00:56:54,490
shifted from fighting for religious freedom to fighting

1620
00:56:54,490 --> 00:56:55,830
for Christian dominance.

1621
00:56:56,050 --> 00:56:58,010
But when it comes to calls for public

1622
00:56:58,010 --> 00:57:01,790
policies grounded in empathy, he acknowledges that everyone

1623
00:57:01,790 --> 00:57:03,190
has to draw a line somewhere.

1624
00:57:03,190 --> 00:57:06,150
There are times when the head has to

1625
00:57:06,150 --> 00:57:07,250
overrule the heart.

1626
00:57:07,950 --> 00:57:09,890
That is something that has to happen sometimes

1627
00:57:09,890 --> 00:57:10,890
in public policy.

1628
00:57:11,390 --> 00:57:13,550
But at the same time, there should be

1629
00:57:13,550 --> 00:57:16,370
no objection to appeals to the heart.

1630
00:57:16,730 --> 00:57:20,470
Because our compassion, our empathy is a fundamental

1631
00:57:20,470 --> 00:57:22,970
part of who we should be as human

1632
00:57:22,970 --> 00:57:23,470
beings.

1633
00:57:23,650 --> 00:57:25,970
French says there's nothing really new about accusing

1634
00:57:25,970 --> 00:57:29,510
one's political opponents of appealing to emotion rather

1635
00:57:29,510 --> 00:57:30,430
than logic.

1636
00:57:30,430 --> 00:57:33,230
But, he argues, there should be room in

1637
00:57:33,230 --> 00:57:35,310
our political discourse for both.

1638
00:57:36,510 --> 00:57:37,650
Oh, my goodness.

1639
00:57:37,670 --> 00:57:38,590
So, what this leads to.

1640
00:57:38,730 --> 00:57:38,910
Yes.

1641
00:57:38,990 --> 00:57:40,430
This is an anti-Trump thing.

1642
00:57:40,510 --> 00:57:41,350
Well, obviously.

1643
00:57:41,830 --> 00:57:43,270
It's PBS, NPR.

1644
00:57:43,550 --> 00:57:45,290
Gee, what was the giveaway there?

1645
00:57:46,010 --> 00:57:48,790
But the idea is that, you know, these

1646
00:57:48,790 --> 00:57:53,810
heartless Republicans are heartless.

1647
00:57:53,970 --> 00:57:54,690
And that's the problem.

1648
00:57:54,930 --> 00:57:55,930
And this carries over.

1649
00:57:56,090 --> 00:57:56,810
That was NPR.

1650
00:57:56,910 --> 00:57:58,570
So, let's carry it over to PBS.

1651
00:57:58,970 --> 00:57:59,970
That was PBS.

1652
00:57:59,970 --> 00:58:01,230
Now, we can go to NPR.

1653
00:58:01,690 --> 00:58:03,930
No, we're going to stay on PBS then.

1654
00:58:04,030 --> 00:58:04,290
Oh, okay.

1655
00:58:06,610 --> 00:58:07,490
That was...

1656
00:58:07,490 --> 00:58:08,630
Empathy Bad 4.

1657
00:58:09,490 --> 00:58:11,890
Yeah, I'm trying to decide whether that may

1658
00:58:11,890 --> 00:58:13,590
have actually been NPR, but whatever.

1659
00:58:14,950 --> 00:58:16,710
I didn't hear Scott talking.

1660
00:58:16,850 --> 00:58:17,990
It couldn't have been NPR.

1661
00:58:18,130 --> 00:58:19,330
No, it could have.

1662
00:58:19,530 --> 00:58:19,810
No.

1663
00:58:20,430 --> 00:58:22,270
So, but let's go to Brooks and Capehart.

1664
00:58:22,490 --> 00:58:23,290
Oh, okay.

1665
00:58:24,090 --> 00:58:25,610
And so, because they'll boil it down.

1666
00:58:25,610 --> 00:58:28,970
Now, we have a toss to Brooks.

1667
00:58:30,330 --> 00:58:32,630
You know, he's supposed to represent conservatives.

1668
00:58:32,810 --> 00:58:34,170
They're both Trump haters.

1669
00:58:34,570 --> 00:58:37,570
For the people out there that like PBS,

1670
00:58:38,130 --> 00:58:40,430
to give you perspective, they're going to have

1671
00:58:40,430 --> 00:58:42,590
two people on this called Brooks and Capehart

1672
00:58:42,590 --> 00:58:44,630
that both hate Trump's guts.

1673
00:58:46,230 --> 00:58:47,310
And so, that's the perspective.

1674
00:58:47,790 --> 00:58:50,230
This is giving you perspective according to somebody

1675
00:58:50,230 --> 00:58:52,470
in the back, one of the producers.

1676
00:58:52,610 --> 00:58:54,210
So, I don't understand how that works, but

1677
00:58:54,210 --> 00:58:54,490
okay.

1678
00:58:55,750 --> 00:58:57,870
Here, this is boiling down what you just

1679
00:58:57,870 --> 00:58:58,250
heard.

1680
00:58:58,530 --> 00:59:00,790
This is boiling down what's really going on

1681
00:59:00,790 --> 00:59:05,590
and why, what they're trying to drum home.

1682
00:59:05,730 --> 00:59:06,170
Here we go.

1683
00:59:06,390 --> 00:59:08,190
Seen so far about the role and the

1684
00:59:08,190 --> 00:59:10,150
influence of- Is this the Brooks and

1685
00:59:10,150 --> 00:59:10,890
see on Doge?

1686
00:59:10,970 --> 00:59:11,850
Just to make sure I have the right

1687
00:59:11,850 --> 00:59:12,110
one.

1688
00:59:12,210 --> 00:59:12,510
Yeah, yeah.

1689
00:59:12,690 --> 00:59:13,050
Absolutely right.

1690
00:59:13,150 --> 00:59:13,330
All right.

1691
00:59:13,390 --> 00:59:15,230
Seen so far about the role and the

1692
00:59:15,230 --> 00:59:16,670
influence of Musk in this presidency.

1693
00:59:16,670 --> 00:59:18,470
Yeah, I did not have Doge being the

1694
00:59:18,470 --> 00:59:21,530
center of the Trump administration before January 20th,

1695
00:59:21,530 --> 00:59:22,970
but it certainly has become the center.

1696
00:59:23,550 --> 00:59:25,050
And to me, it's revelatory.

1697
00:59:25,430 --> 00:59:26,730
You get the richest guy in the world

1698
00:59:26,730 --> 00:59:28,830
cutting off food for the starving children around

1699
00:59:28,830 --> 00:59:29,150
the world.

1700
00:59:29,270 --> 00:59:33,110
Oh, will somebody please think of the children?

1701
00:59:33,870 --> 00:59:35,610
That's the essence of what it is.

1702
00:59:36,870 --> 00:59:38,590
The essence of Doge.

1703
00:59:38,770 --> 00:59:39,170
That's the essence.

1704
00:59:39,410 --> 00:59:41,670
All that it's about is- Is starving

1705
00:59:41,670 --> 00:59:41,970
children.

1706
00:59:43,870 --> 00:59:45,610
Yeah, that sounds about right.

1707
00:59:45,870 --> 00:59:48,250
It's not about cutting government waste- No.

1708
00:59:48,410 --> 00:59:51,150
Or crazy programs that are costing millions and

1709
00:59:51,150 --> 00:59:52,950
millions of dollars to taxpayers money.

1710
00:59:52,950 --> 00:59:55,850
Doge is the department of gynecological efficiency.

1711
00:59:56,330 --> 00:59:58,930
This is why we have to starve children

1712
00:59:58,930 --> 00:59:59,750
around the world.

1713
01:00:00,470 --> 01:00:02,670
It's not about sending, it turns out, like

1714
01:00:02,670 --> 01:00:06,430
$600 million sent to Australian universities so they

1715
01:00:06,430 --> 01:00:08,650
can do their research because Australia can't pay

1716
01:00:08,650 --> 01:00:09,290
for it, I guess.

1717
01:00:09,870 --> 01:00:10,390
No, no.

1718
01:00:10,490 --> 01:00:11,210
It's none of that.

1719
01:00:11,290 --> 01:00:12,530
It's none of this crazy stuff.

1720
01:00:12,770 --> 01:00:15,090
It's about starving children.

1721
01:00:15,350 --> 01:00:15,650
Yes.

1722
01:00:15,910 --> 01:00:16,450
Starving them.

1723
01:00:16,690 --> 01:00:17,170
Starving them.

1724
01:00:17,410 --> 01:00:18,150
Die children.

1725
01:00:18,230 --> 01:00:19,110
Okay, so that, there you go.

1726
01:00:19,230 --> 01:00:21,130
Okay, that's really great insight.

1727
01:00:21,130 --> 01:00:22,770
That's the kind of thing that people actually

1728
01:00:22,770 --> 01:00:25,450
give PBS money for.

1729
01:00:25,650 --> 01:00:26,970
But let's see, here's the second half of

1730
01:00:26,970 --> 01:00:27,150
that.

1731
01:00:27,550 --> 01:00:30,610
The second thing it is, it's cruelty and

1732
01:00:30,610 --> 01:00:30,990
ruthlessness.

1733
01:00:31,050 --> 01:00:32,730
I've had so many conversations over the last

1734
01:00:32,730 --> 01:00:35,230
couple weeks with people inside federal agencies when

1735
01:00:35,230 --> 01:00:37,290
the Doge voice comes to town.

1736
01:00:37,630 --> 01:00:40,930
And they are naked in their cruelty that

1737
01:00:40,930 --> 01:00:42,930
this agency disagrees with Donald Trump.

1738
01:00:43,030 --> 01:00:45,290
People here, we don't like what you believe.

1739
01:00:45,710 --> 01:00:47,230
And we're just getting rid of you.

1740
01:00:47,830 --> 01:00:50,190
And so that cruelty is kind of naked.

1741
01:00:51,070 --> 01:00:53,250
And to me it symbolizes something that is

1742
01:00:53,250 --> 01:00:55,230
the epitome of this administration.

1743
01:00:56,390 --> 01:00:58,090
These Doge people, Elon Musk, he went to

1744
01:00:58,090 --> 01:00:58,330
Penn.

1745
01:00:58,690 --> 01:00:59,570
The Doge people went to Harvard.

1746
01:00:59,650 --> 01:01:00,170
They went to Stanford.

1747
01:01:00,270 --> 01:01:01,010
They worked at McKinsey.

1748
01:01:01,150 --> 01:01:02,510
These are not populists.

1749
01:01:03,030 --> 01:01:04,410
These are elitists.

1750
01:01:04,870 --> 01:01:08,310
These are conservative micro-elites who've been in

1751
01:01:08,310 --> 01:01:10,810
elite universities, who play in the elite circles,

1752
01:01:11,110 --> 01:01:12,530
and they want to take it out on

1753
01:01:12,530 --> 01:01:13,210
their fellow elites.

1754
01:01:13,430 --> 01:01:15,310
And that's what this administration will become about,

1755
01:01:15,430 --> 01:01:18,270
a battle between elites, not somebody representing the

1756
01:01:18,270 --> 01:01:20,250
working class for problems that are real.

1757
01:01:20,650 --> 01:01:21,890
And this is why people are angry.

1758
01:01:23,990 --> 01:01:26,990
Yeah, that was Capehart at the end, joining

1759
01:01:26,990 --> 01:01:27,930
in to agree.

1760
01:01:28,130 --> 01:01:28,890
Yeah, of course.

1761
01:01:30,110 --> 01:01:31,970
And that's why people are angry, because it's

1762
01:01:31,970 --> 01:01:33,850
a battle between the elites.

1763
01:01:36,270 --> 01:01:39,850
This kind of commentary, which is on PBS

1764
01:01:39,850 --> 01:01:42,070
NewsHour, is pathetic.

1765
01:01:42,530 --> 01:01:44,210
Well, allow me to give you some perspective.

1766
01:01:44,210 --> 01:01:47,570
From a white Christian nationalist, let's just call

1767
01:01:47,570 --> 01:01:48,890
it what it is, John, as you already

1768
01:01:48,890 --> 01:01:53,610
said, empathy does not enter the equation.

1769
01:01:54,730 --> 01:01:59,070
Following Jesus means you're filled with kindness, love,

1770
01:01:59,350 --> 01:02:04,070
mercy, humility, forgiveness, compassion, and, of course, faith.

1771
01:02:05,090 --> 01:02:09,830
And that is empathy is antithetical to Christianity

1772
01:02:09,830 --> 01:02:11,210
or whatever you want to call it.

1773
01:02:11,210 --> 01:02:18,070
In fact, many white Christian nationalists have a

1774
01:02:18,070 --> 01:02:20,530
problem with Elon in this regard, because he

1775
01:02:20,530 --> 01:02:22,390
calls himself a cultural Christian.

1776
01:02:23,110 --> 01:02:24,030
So that's like, nah.

1777
01:02:24,190 --> 01:02:25,050
He does?

1778
01:02:25,210 --> 01:02:25,790
Yes, oh yeah.

1779
01:02:25,890 --> 01:02:27,150
What does that even mean?

1780
01:02:27,550 --> 01:02:29,370
Well, that means that he's filled with everything,

1781
01:02:29,510 --> 01:02:31,470
but he doesn't really believe in Jesus and

1782
01:02:31,470 --> 01:02:32,670
the resurrection, I guess.

1783
01:02:33,490 --> 01:02:35,590
I will say two other things that are

1784
01:02:35,590 --> 01:02:38,970
being discussed in white Christian nationalist circles.

1785
01:02:40,170 --> 01:02:44,410
One is that, and this comes directly back

1786
01:02:44,410 --> 01:02:46,990
from the guys who were in the faith

1787
01:02:46,990 --> 01:02:47,450
office.

1788
01:02:47,590 --> 01:02:51,170
You saw that everyone was praying over President

1789
01:02:51,170 --> 01:02:54,670
Trump, which includes David Barton.

1790
01:02:54,690 --> 01:02:55,910
These are people that actually know.

1791
01:02:56,690 --> 01:02:58,810
And they all come back and say, you

1792
01:02:58,810 --> 01:03:04,010
know, Trump really did have a radical transition

1793
01:03:04,010 --> 01:03:06,250
when the bullet missed his ear.

1794
01:03:06,250 --> 01:03:09,910
So he's really a brand new Christian, President

1795
01:03:09,910 --> 01:03:10,250
Trump.

1796
01:03:11,170 --> 01:03:14,310
And then the second thing, which means that,

1797
01:03:14,330 --> 01:03:15,470
you know, you're a baby Christian.

1798
01:03:15,590 --> 01:03:16,890
You got a long way to go, but

1799
01:03:16,890 --> 01:03:17,510
it's a good start.

1800
01:03:18,370 --> 01:03:20,750
The second thing is people are concerned.

1801
01:03:20,910 --> 01:03:22,170
I find this to be quite interesting.

1802
01:03:22,750 --> 01:03:26,050
People are concerned about the faith office.

1803
01:03:26,510 --> 01:03:28,710
Did that ever exist before, an office of

1804
01:03:28,710 --> 01:03:31,770
faith, the faith office in an administration?

1805
01:03:32,030 --> 01:03:33,490
Was that totally new to Trump?

1806
01:03:34,430 --> 01:03:34,910
Do you know?

1807
01:03:34,910 --> 01:03:36,570
I have no idea.

1808
01:03:37,710 --> 01:03:43,310
People are worried about it because, well— Whose

1809
01:03:43,310 --> 01:03:43,690
people?

1810
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:47,310
White Christian nationalists, the people I speak with,

1811
01:03:48,190 --> 01:03:49,250
people at church.

1812
01:03:49,710 --> 01:03:51,650
Well, you know, this is really great, but

1813
01:03:51,650 --> 01:03:54,110
what happens if we get a president who's

1814
01:03:54,110 --> 01:03:54,850
a Satanist?

1815
01:03:55,210 --> 01:03:57,110
He could then bring in the Church of

1816
01:03:57,110 --> 01:03:58,870
Satan into the office of— You mean like

1817
01:03:58,870 --> 01:03:59,190
Biden?

1818
01:04:00,030 --> 01:04:00,670
Exactly.

1819
01:04:03,550 --> 01:04:06,450
So I still don't understand exactly what the

1820
01:04:06,450 --> 01:04:07,510
point is of this.

1821
01:04:08,190 --> 01:04:08,870
Of what?

1822
01:04:09,150 --> 01:04:11,450
Of what they're doing here with NPR and

1823
01:04:11,450 --> 01:04:14,090
PBS, other than trying to say, you're not

1824
01:04:14,090 --> 01:04:15,910
being a Christian because you have no empathy.

1825
01:04:16,130 --> 01:04:18,310
But that's just—it's bullcrap.

1826
01:04:20,170 --> 01:04:22,490
No, I don't think that's what the message

1827
01:04:22,490 --> 01:04:22,910
is.

1828
01:04:23,030 --> 01:04:24,030
What is the message?

1829
01:04:24,030 --> 01:04:27,050
The message is Trump and Elon are cold

1830
01:04:27,050 --> 01:04:31,290
-blooded haters that are just trying to starve

1831
01:04:31,290 --> 01:04:34,030
children because it's what you want.

1832
01:04:34,110 --> 01:04:35,670
You want to see the kids die.

1833
01:04:37,250 --> 01:04:37,690
Oh, okay.

1834
01:04:38,630 --> 01:04:41,090
Rosie O'Donnell had the exact same commentary.

1835
01:04:41,290 --> 01:04:43,350
She thinks that they're out to get her

1836
01:04:43,350 --> 01:04:44,230
autistic kid.

1837
01:04:44,350 --> 01:04:44,890
Her autistic child, yeah.

1838
01:04:45,130 --> 01:04:45,930
Well, you're right.

1839
01:04:46,110 --> 01:04:46,910
Think of the children.

1840
01:04:47,150 --> 01:04:50,490
Yes, and it's always old people, children, and

1841
01:04:50,490 --> 01:04:52,890
pets, although pets seem to be doing better

1842
01:04:52,890 --> 01:04:53,450
in America.

1843
01:04:54,470 --> 01:04:55,810
I mean, that's what got Trump elected.

1844
01:04:55,910 --> 01:04:56,670
We all know that.

1845
01:04:58,850 --> 01:05:00,230
What got Trump elected?

1846
01:05:00,350 --> 01:05:00,810
The pets?

1847
01:05:01,470 --> 01:05:02,970
They're eating the dogs.

1848
01:05:03,150 --> 01:05:03,930
That got him elected.

1849
01:05:04,230 --> 01:05:05,350
That got him elected.

1850
01:05:05,590 --> 01:05:07,950
Yeah, there's an element of truth to that.

1851
01:05:07,950 --> 01:05:08,890
That got him elected.

1852
01:05:09,250 --> 01:05:10,830
It didn't hurt, that's for sure.

1853
01:05:11,050 --> 01:05:11,630
It didn't hurt at all.

1854
01:05:11,630 --> 01:05:12,550
They're eating the dog.

1855
01:05:12,770 --> 01:05:15,470
No, but this is why, as a white

1856
01:05:15,470 --> 01:05:17,770
Christian nationalist, I always say when you play

1857
01:05:17,770 --> 01:05:20,810
these TikTok clips of these insane people, I

1858
01:05:20,810 --> 01:05:22,830
always say, well, you know, I pray for

1859
01:05:22,830 --> 01:05:23,010
them.

1860
01:05:23,210 --> 01:05:24,130
They need prayers.

1861
01:05:24,290 --> 01:05:25,310
I'm not angry at them.

1862
01:05:25,750 --> 01:05:28,550
They're just under dark spiritual forces.

1863
01:05:28,710 --> 01:05:29,570
They're under a spell.

1864
01:05:31,130 --> 01:05:31,610
That's what it is.

1865
01:05:31,610 --> 01:05:31,950
Empathy.

1866
01:05:32,370 --> 01:05:34,750
Empathy, I think, creates spells.

1867
01:05:36,010 --> 01:05:37,410
And that's what...

1868
01:05:37,410 --> 01:05:38,250
Okay.

1869
01:05:39,310 --> 01:05:39,610
What?

1870
01:05:41,930 --> 01:05:42,810
You're veering.

1871
01:05:43,590 --> 01:05:44,310
I'm veering?

1872
01:05:45,110 --> 01:05:45,890
You're veering.

1873
01:05:46,110 --> 01:05:47,330
Stay the course is what you're saying?

1874
01:05:47,390 --> 01:05:48,250
I was okay before?

1875
01:05:48,410 --> 01:05:48,830
Shut up.

1876
01:05:49,930 --> 01:05:51,250
We'll be back on track.

1877
01:05:51,710 --> 01:05:53,070
All right, well.

1878
01:05:53,210 --> 01:05:54,670
How about the people who are just nuts?

1879
01:05:55,050 --> 01:05:57,130
All right, well, yeah, they're nuts.

1880
01:05:57,550 --> 01:06:00,570
So I have two clips here.

1881
01:06:00,770 --> 01:06:01,650
I don't know if you saw this.

1882
01:06:01,710 --> 01:06:04,470
This was a doctor in Missouri, and they

1883
01:06:04,470 --> 01:06:08,430
were working on a bill, a state bill,

1884
01:06:08,590 --> 01:06:10,810
to prohibit the transitioning of children.

1885
01:06:11,750 --> 01:06:15,290
And this is a lesbian doctor who is

1886
01:06:15,290 --> 01:06:19,490
pleading, pleading, pleading that they please, please, please

1887
01:06:19,490 --> 01:06:23,810
stop this practice because she learned how destructive

1888
01:06:23,810 --> 01:06:24,370
it was.

1889
01:06:24,490 --> 01:06:26,170
And when you listen to her, and it's

1890
01:06:26,170 --> 01:06:28,390
a little ghoulish, but it's important to hear

1891
01:06:28,390 --> 01:06:30,970
it, you can understand that this is exactly

1892
01:06:30,970 --> 01:06:32,550
what empathy leads to.

1893
01:06:32,990 --> 01:06:36,130
When you're so empathetic, oh, you must be

1894
01:06:36,130 --> 01:06:36,570
a girl.

1895
01:06:36,750 --> 01:06:38,370
Oh, you must be a boy.

1896
01:06:38,730 --> 01:06:42,330
The lengths that they have gone to with

1897
01:06:42,330 --> 01:06:45,310
children is absolutely outrageous.

1898
01:06:45,310 --> 01:06:47,430
Thank you, Representative, for the question.

1899
01:06:47,730 --> 01:06:51,110
Yes, I was once an absolute true believer.

1900
01:06:51,510 --> 01:06:54,510
I trained judges within the state of Missouri

1901
01:06:54,510 --> 01:06:56,550
around gender-affirming care.

1902
01:06:56,930 --> 01:07:00,050
I trained all of the other divisions within

1903
01:07:00,050 --> 01:07:01,070
the hospital setting.

1904
01:07:01,350 --> 01:07:03,190
By the way, gender-affirming care, as we

1905
01:07:03,190 --> 01:07:05,430
learned last week, is emotive conjunction.

1906
01:07:05,930 --> 01:07:07,390
I'm trying to keep an eye on these

1907
01:07:07,390 --> 01:07:07,910
things now.

1908
01:07:08,170 --> 01:07:10,470
I trained all of the other divisions within

1909
01:07:10,470 --> 01:07:12,730
the hospital setting around what is referred to

1910
01:07:12,730 --> 01:07:13,710
as gender-affirming care.

1911
01:07:13,710 --> 01:07:18,950
I believed wholeheartedly in this protocol.

1912
01:07:19,510 --> 01:07:24,350
My spouse is trans, who has now walked

1913
01:07:24,350 --> 01:07:25,570
back her transition.

1914
01:07:26,090 --> 01:07:28,130
She was trans for 13 years.

1915
01:07:29,430 --> 01:07:33,370
There were three aspects that made me come

1916
01:07:33,370 --> 01:07:34,610
to change my mind.

1917
01:07:34,910 --> 01:07:39,210
Number one, this protocol itself was built on

1918
01:07:39,210 --> 01:07:42,090
regressive stereotypes and is homophobic.

1919
01:07:42,090 --> 01:07:45,830
The first 70 children that were put through

1920
01:07:45,830 --> 01:07:49,690
this protocol, 68 of them were same-sex

1921
01:07:49,690 --> 01:07:50,210
attracted.

1922
01:07:50,890 --> 01:07:55,330
The entire DSM protocol is based on stereotypes

1923
01:07:55,330 --> 01:08:00,070
about what sex behavior looks like, and most

1924
01:08:00,070 --> 01:08:03,830
gays and lesbians in childhood do not fit

1925
01:08:03,830 --> 01:08:06,950
the mold of what regressive stereotypes look like

1926
01:08:06,950 --> 01:08:08,290
for sex behavior.

1927
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:11,970
Of the 71st children that were put through

1928
01:08:11,970 --> 01:08:14,310
this protocol, one of them died.

1929
01:08:14,930 --> 01:08:20,130
Because the protocol itself destroyed what used to

1930
01:08:20,130 --> 01:08:22,370
be the way that we would invert an

1931
01:08:22,370 --> 01:08:24,250
adult's penis to make it a vagina.

1932
01:08:24,950 --> 01:08:28,850
The puberty blocker itself makes the penis not

1933
01:08:28,850 --> 01:08:31,930
grow to the point where that child was

1934
01:08:31,930 --> 01:08:34,970
put through a vaginoplasty that used their colon

1935
01:08:34,970 --> 01:08:36,590
instead.

1936
01:08:36,590 --> 01:08:39,649
And they died of a massive infection.

1937
01:08:40,390 --> 01:08:42,310
Mengele would be so proud of this.

1938
01:08:43,330 --> 01:08:46,090
You know, I like the thesis that this

1939
01:08:46,090 --> 01:08:49,569
is a homophobic movement.

1940
01:08:50,910 --> 01:08:52,970
That's the only thing that could catch on

1941
01:08:52,970 --> 01:08:54,670
and put a stop to it.

1942
01:08:54,990 --> 01:08:55,550
Exactly.

1943
01:08:55,890 --> 01:08:58,490
And we're seeing more and more certainly gay

1944
01:08:58,490 --> 01:09:00,490
men saying, no, no, no, you've got to

1945
01:09:00,490 --> 01:09:01,090
stop this.

1946
01:09:02,790 --> 01:09:05,930
A lot of lesbian women are also not

1947
01:09:05,930 --> 01:09:06,330
happy.

1948
01:09:06,330 --> 01:09:08,290
This is an example of one of them.

1949
01:09:08,390 --> 01:09:09,649
Except for Kara Swisher.

1950
01:09:11,050 --> 01:09:14,729
And so now we go into something that

1951
01:09:14,729 --> 01:09:17,770
is related to empathy.

1952
01:09:18,010 --> 01:09:21,630
I saw a patient population go from four

1953
01:09:21,630 --> 01:09:24,529
new intakes per month of children who are

1954
01:09:24,529 --> 01:09:29,609
mostly pre-pubital boys to 50 to 60

1955
01:09:29,609 --> 01:09:32,850
new patients per month, and 80% of

1956
01:09:32,850 --> 01:09:34,310
them were teenage girls.

1957
01:09:34,310 --> 01:09:37,210
Guess what teenage girls have in common?

1958
01:09:38,069 --> 01:09:42,430
They are absolutely susceptible to social contagion.

1959
01:09:42,930 --> 01:09:46,970
This occurred right when COVID lockdowns happened, right

1960
01:09:46,970 --> 01:09:49,250
when we stuck one of these in all

1961
01:09:49,250 --> 01:09:52,149
of those teenagers' phones, and right when we

1962
01:09:52,149 --> 01:09:55,190
saw all of these girls watching videos.

1963
01:09:55,410 --> 01:09:57,030
We actually referred to it in the clinic

1964
01:09:57,030 --> 01:09:58,390
as TikTok tics.

1965
01:09:58,970 --> 01:10:02,050
They literally were parroting and coming into our

1966
01:10:02,050 --> 01:10:05,270
clinic with the exact same storyline that they

1967
01:10:05,270 --> 01:10:07,270
learned online about what it meant to be

1968
01:10:07,270 --> 01:10:07,790
trans.

1969
01:10:08,350 --> 01:10:10,790
And then third and finally was that I

1970
01:10:10,790 --> 01:10:12,970
actually harmed patients.

1971
01:10:13,830 --> 01:10:19,210
This protocol itself physically harmed my patients to

1972
01:10:19,210 --> 01:10:21,530
the point where I was sending children to

1973
01:10:21,530 --> 01:10:26,190
the emergency room for emergency surgeries after they

1974
01:10:26,190 --> 01:10:28,750
had their first sexual experience and their vaginas

1975
01:10:28,750 --> 01:10:29,770
were ripping open.

1976
01:10:29,770 --> 01:10:32,430
We removed the breast of a young woman

1977
01:10:32,430 --> 01:10:34,330
who called us back begging to have them

1978
01:10:34,330 --> 01:10:34,730
put on.

1979
01:10:35,130 --> 01:10:37,210
She not only had detransition and was re

1980
01:10:37,210 --> 01:10:39,970
-identifying as a woman, she was also pregnant.

1981
01:10:40,710 --> 01:10:44,570
And she literally told us that part of

1982
01:10:44,570 --> 01:10:47,330
this identity for her was a social contagion.

1983
01:10:47,450 --> 01:10:48,390
There you go.

1984
01:10:48,730 --> 01:10:50,110
That's exactly what happened.

1985
01:10:51,190 --> 01:10:54,070
Spurred on by nut jobs.

1986
01:10:56,270 --> 01:11:01,270
And because of empathy and books about, oh,

1987
01:11:01,430 --> 01:11:03,410
my child is trans.

1988
01:11:03,550 --> 01:11:05,470
How do I tell the neighbors?

1989
01:11:06,550 --> 01:11:07,870
You know, nothing to do with the kid.

1990
01:11:08,010 --> 01:11:08,830
We read the book.

1991
01:11:09,550 --> 01:11:10,410
We read the book.

1992
01:11:10,530 --> 01:11:11,830
It was all about how do I deal

1993
01:11:11,830 --> 01:11:13,550
with my political party, how to deal with

1994
01:11:13,550 --> 01:11:15,270
my neighbors, how do I deal with school,

1995
01:11:15,430 --> 01:11:16,730
how to deal with the school board.

1996
01:11:16,930 --> 01:11:18,930
Nothing about the child, nothing.

1997
01:11:19,470 --> 01:11:20,570
Just, my kid's trans.

1998
01:11:21,790 --> 01:11:23,870
And, yes, that is...

1999
01:11:23,870 --> 01:11:25,050
Then you have people, then you have the

2000
01:11:25,050 --> 01:11:26,070
Hollywood elites.

2001
01:11:26,290 --> 01:11:27,230
It doesn't help.

2002
01:11:27,450 --> 01:11:32,490
Charlize Theron and Megan Fox with three boys

2003
01:11:32,490 --> 01:11:33,890
that have transitioned to girls.

2004
01:11:34,010 --> 01:11:34,810
It's amazing.

2005
01:11:35,310 --> 01:11:35,710
It's amazing.

2006
01:11:36,130 --> 01:11:36,950
How does that work?

2007
01:11:38,750 --> 01:11:41,490
And she's like, just doesn't seem like a

2008
01:11:41,490 --> 01:11:42,630
normal person.

2009
01:11:43,370 --> 01:11:43,970
Yeah.

2010
01:11:45,230 --> 01:11:46,530
Social contagion.

2011
01:11:46,530 --> 01:11:47,090
Yes.

2012
01:11:47,690 --> 01:11:50,510
Social contagion fueled by empathy.

2013
01:11:51,690 --> 01:11:52,910
And empathy is powerful.

2014
01:11:53,610 --> 01:11:54,550
It's very powerful.

2015
01:11:55,750 --> 01:11:57,850
And I think America certainly kind of fell

2016
01:11:57,850 --> 01:11:58,170
into that.

2017
01:11:58,270 --> 01:11:59,490
Europe has always been a little bit that

2018
01:11:59,490 --> 01:11:59,710
way.

2019
01:12:01,030 --> 01:12:02,430
We just kind of fell into it.

2020
01:12:02,590 --> 01:12:04,890
Why do you think Europe allows itself to

2021
01:12:04,890 --> 01:12:08,550
be destroyed by immigration that they don't really

2022
01:12:08,550 --> 01:12:08,830
want?

2023
01:12:09,030 --> 01:12:09,470
Empathy.

2024
01:12:10,690 --> 01:12:12,850
Ursula von der Leyen, these kinds of people,

2025
01:12:12,850 --> 01:12:15,910
they appeal to empathy day in and day

2026
01:12:15,910 --> 01:12:16,270
out.

2027
01:12:17,070 --> 01:12:18,330
Imagine if it was you.

2028
01:12:19,030 --> 01:12:20,030
Oh, can't you feel it?

2029
01:12:20,030 --> 01:12:21,570
Can't you feel what that would feel like?

2030
01:12:22,750 --> 01:12:25,930
The whole Internet is one big empathy machine.

2031
01:12:26,630 --> 01:12:28,670
At least the parts that Elon owns, according

2032
01:12:28,670 --> 01:12:29,690
to Rosie O'Donnell.

2033
01:12:32,420 --> 01:12:33,660
Well, I think we made a point.

2034
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:34,680
Yes, we did.

2035
01:12:34,780 --> 01:12:36,020
I'm so proud of us.

2036
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:36,400
Yay.

2037
01:12:37,980 --> 01:12:40,380
How about some bogus...

2038
01:12:40,380 --> 01:12:41,640
I've got a couple of clips here on

2039
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:42,180
the bogus.

2040
01:12:42,180 --> 01:12:44,500
It says biggest, but it says one bogus

2041
01:12:44,500 --> 01:12:46,260
NIH grant.

2042
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:48,700
This brings up an Ask Adam in the

2043
01:12:48,700 --> 01:12:49,140
middle of it.

2044
01:12:49,300 --> 01:12:52,660
The National Institutes of Health has terminated dozens

2045
01:12:52,660 --> 01:12:55,920
of grants for scientific research projects related to

2046
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:57,560
vaccine use and hesitancy.

2047
01:12:57,820 --> 01:13:00,980
Researchers got written notices that their studies no

2048
01:13:00,980 --> 01:13:04,840
longer aligned with the administration's priorities and that

2049
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,380
it is the policy of NIH not to

2050
01:13:07,380 --> 01:13:11,560
prioritize research activities that focus gaining scientific knowledge

2051
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,460
on why individuals are hesitant to be vaccinated

2052
01:13:14,460 --> 01:13:18,080
and or explore ways to improve vaccine interest

2053
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:18,600
and commitment.

2054
01:13:19,380 --> 01:13:21,560
Dr. Sophia Newcomer was one of the researchers

2055
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:22,660
whose grant was canceled.

2056
01:13:23,140 --> 01:13:25,260
She's an associate professor at the University of

2057
01:13:25,260 --> 01:13:25,760
Montana.

2058
01:13:26,220 --> 01:13:28,440
Her work focuses on access to health care

2059
01:13:28,440 --> 01:13:29,560
in rural communities.

2060
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:31,560
She spoke with Allie Rogan.

2061
01:13:32,440 --> 01:13:33,720
Wow, is that Joe's cousin?

2062
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:36,220
I don't think so.

2063
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:36,820
Oh, okay.

2064
01:13:39,340 --> 01:13:41,980
So they're going to go on about this

2065
01:13:41,980 --> 01:13:42,940
research.

2066
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:44,900
You're going to realize that this is dumb

2067
01:13:44,900 --> 01:13:49,000
research, but there's going to be a missing

2068
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,340
piece of information and maybe you can identify

2069
01:13:51,340 --> 01:13:51,620
it.

2070
01:13:52,060 --> 01:13:53,360
Thank you so much for joining us.

2071
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,940
What was this NIH grant funding?

2072
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,780
My work focuses on figuring out ways we

2073
01:13:58,780 --> 01:14:02,920
can improve vaccination services, particularly for rural families.

2074
01:14:03,900 --> 01:14:06,020
And so for this specific project that got

2075
01:14:06,020 --> 01:14:08,800
cut, we were working to develop tools to

2076
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:12,100
measure the quality of immunization services that children

2077
01:14:12,100 --> 01:14:12,660
receive.

2078
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:14,800
So you were looking at the quality of

2079
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:15,920
immunization services.

2080
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,900
This grant cut was about vaccine hesitancy.

2081
01:14:19,020 --> 01:14:23,100
Specifically, they said, how much of your research

2082
01:14:23,100 --> 01:14:25,200
was looking at specifically at that issue of

2083
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:26,100
vaccine hesitancy?

2084
01:14:26,300 --> 01:14:28,180
Sure, sure, sure.

2085
01:14:28,420 --> 01:14:32,000
So my project involved analyzing existing data on

2086
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,020
vaccinations across the U.S. And even though

2087
01:14:35,020 --> 01:14:37,240
we were only partway through our project, we

2088
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,100
already had some important findings.

2089
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:41,300
And one of the things we were finding

2090
01:14:41,300 --> 01:14:44,300
is that when children in the U.S.

2091
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:48,160
fall behind or are missing vaccines, a main

2092
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:52,780
issue are practical challenges to accessing high-quality

2093
01:14:52,780 --> 01:14:54,180
vaccination care.

2094
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,880
So while we did see that some under

2095
01:14:56,880 --> 01:15:00,120
-vaccination in the U.S. might be due

2096
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:04,660
to parental hesitancy, practical challenges to accessing vaccines,

2097
01:15:05,340 --> 01:15:07,640
such as having clinics nearby that you can

2098
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:11,080
access, having a regular medical home for your

2099
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:16,060
child, having regular medical insurance, are all also

2100
01:15:16,060 --> 01:15:18,920
challenges in accessing vaccines in the U.S.

2101
01:15:19,860 --> 01:15:20,540
Okay.

2102
01:15:21,900 --> 01:15:24,860
So how much money you think was wasted

2103
01:15:24,860 --> 01:15:27,080
on this idiotic study where you have to

2104
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:30,080
have, where there's nothing there, it seems to

2105
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:33,140
me, this is just a vapid research project

2106
01:15:33,140 --> 01:15:34,360
that doesn't tell you anything.

2107
01:15:34,440 --> 01:15:37,400
You can go to the drugstore and get

2108
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,620
a free vaccine if you're just worried about

2109
01:15:39,620 --> 01:15:41,040
where you can get a vaccine.

2110
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:43,440
So how much money do you think was

2111
01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:44,260
spent on this?

2112
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:48,300
Ask Adam, ask Adam, will he know or

2113
01:15:48,300 --> 01:15:49,240
will he won't?

2114
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:51,600
I don't know, but here we go.

2115
01:15:51,780 --> 01:15:54,040
Ask Adam, ask Adam, yeah.

2116
01:15:54,220 --> 01:15:55,240
Answer the question, go.

2117
01:15:55,460 --> 01:15:58,320
Okay, I will say $28 million.

2118
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:02,020
Well, let's play clip two, or the next

2119
01:16:02,020 --> 01:16:02,280
clip.

2120
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:04,640
We asked the Department of Health and Human

2121
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:07,340
Services about these cuts, and they said in

2122
01:16:07,340 --> 01:16:09,700
a statement that the decision to vaccinate is

2123
01:16:09,700 --> 01:16:12,040
a personal one and funding would be better

2124
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:15,520
directed towards more urgent public health priorities.

2125
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:17,280
What is your response to that?

2126
01:16:17,780 --> 01:16:21,080
So it's sometimes said that vaccines don't save

2127
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:23,780
lives, vaccinations save lives.

2128
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:27,620
We have safe and effective vaccine products, but

2129
01:16:27,620 --> 01:16:29,520
we also need to make sure that we

2130
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,840
have the medical and public health infrastructure to

2131
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,920
ensure that high quality vaccination services are available

2132
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,000
in all corners of this country.

2133
01:16:38,620 --> 01:16:41,360
And high quality vaccination care looks like this.

2134
01:16:42,140 --> 01:16:44,560
All families, no matter where they live, should

2135
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:48,300
be able to access vaccinations in clinics in

2136
01:16:48,300 --> 01:16:48,940
their communities.

2137
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:51,440
These clinics need to be equipped with the

2138
01:16:51,440 --> 01:16:54,560
right technology so that doctors and nurses can

2139
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,560
look at a patient's entire vaccination and medical

2140
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:00,780
history, so that they know when to recommend

2141
01:17:00,780 --> 01:17:03,180
the right vaccines at the right time.

2142
01:17:03,740 --> 01:17:06,340
We want every parent and every patient to

2143
01:17:06,340 --> 01:17:08,980
be able to have thoughtful conversations with their

2144
01:17:08,980 --> 01:17:11,860
care team about vaccines and to get their

2145
01:17:11,860 --> 01:17:12,800
questions answered.

2146
01:17:13,500 --> 01:17:15,720
And finally, we need to be able to

2147
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:18,880
have the data to track and measure how

2148
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:22,140
we're doing with providing high quality vaccination care.

2149
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:23,960
Well, there's no answer in this.

2150
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:25,500
What kind of Ask Adam is that?

2151
01:17:25,900 --> 01:17:28,500
They never answer that question.

2152
01:17:28,820 --> 01:17:30,740
The whole report goes on.

2153
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:34,020
These assholes at PBS, heaven forbid, that you

2154
01:17:34,020 --> 01:17:36,080
tell the public what kind of money was

2155
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:36,580
wasted.

2156
01:17:40,060 --> 01:17:43,160
That was kind of a borderline bogus Ask

2157
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:43,420
Adam.

2158
01:17:43,540 --> 01:17:44,820
There's no payoff on this.

2159
01:17:44,820 --> 01:17:46,160
Well, it wasn't borderline.

2160
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:48,380
It was a bogus Ask Adam, but it

2161
01:17:48,380 --> 01:17:51,460
was to make a point that this is

2162
01:17:51,460 --> 01:17:53,240
supposed to be reporting.

2163
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:55,720
You don't leave out these elements.

2164
01:17:55,900 --> 01:17:58,320
You only leave it out if it was

2165
01:17:58,320 --> 01:17:58,980
ridiculous.

2166
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,180
It had to be some ridiculous amount of,

2167
01:18:01,940 --> 01:18:03,380
because this woman was vapid.

2168
01:18:03,460 --> 01:18:04,220
She was an idiot.

2169
01:18:04,900 --> 01:18:08,320
And so they obviously gave her, who knows,

2170
01:18:08,460 --> 01:18:10,380
tens of millions of dollars to do nothing

2171
01:18:10,380 --> 01:18:12,140
more than look at vaccine data.

2172
01:18:12,260 --> 01:18:12,780
Who cares?

2173
01:18:13,260 --> 01:18:16,540
Well, speaking of injections, let's just call it

2174
01:18:16,540 --> 01:18:17,200
injections.

2175
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:19,620
I mean, I had to go to a

2176
01:18:19,620 --> 01:18:21,960
very reliable source to find out the latest

2177
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:26,120
on Ozempic and like-minded types of weight

2178
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:27,100
loss programs.

2179
01:18:27,980 --> 01:18:30,340
I'm sure you've heard about the venom that's

2180
01:18:30,340 --> 01:18:31,240
in these things now.

2181
01:18:32,140 --> 01:18:32,440
Venom?

2182
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:33,140
Oh yeah, venom.

2183
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,860
Is it bee venom or snake venom?

2184
01:18:36,180 --> 01:18:37,440
Ah, good question.

2185
01:18:37,440 --> 01:18:38,360
The Gila monster venom.

2186
01:18:38,700 --> 01:18:40,720
Yes, it's the Gila monster, exactly.

2187
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,700
Let's go to the TikTok doc, or as

2188
01:18:42,700 --> 01:18:44,820
I like to call him, the TikDoc.

2189
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:49,500
Morning on Ozempic, Wigovi, ZepBound, Trulicity, Biota, you

2190
01:18:49,500 --> 01:18:49,800
name it.

2191
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:51,860
All of them have a black box warning

2192
01:18:51,860 --> 01:18:53,920
that this Gila monster venom, and the venom

2193
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:57,260
protein, for those interested, is called Exendin-4.

2194
01:18:57,540 --> 01:19:00,400
E-X-E-N-D-I-N-4.

2195
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:04,080
Black box warning is, within 12 to 36

2196
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:07,220
months, you will develop medullary thyroid cancers of

2197
01:19:07,220 --> 01:19:07,700
all kinds.

2198
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:10,340
Oncologists around the world, after seeing my interviews

2199
01:19:10,340 --> 01:19:12,760
about this drug being made from venom, have

2200
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,940
told me it's not thyroid cancers they're seeing

2201
01:19:15,940 --> 01:19:17,660
in all their Ozempic patients.

2202
01:19:17,660 --> 01:19:21,240
It's exploding breast cancer diagnoses in them.

2203
01:19:21,820 --> 01:19:23,840
You're going to see every form of cancer

2204
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:25,620
from these drugs.

2205
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:27,980
TA just added another warning that it causes

2206
01:19:27,980 --> 01:19:29,000
gastroparesis.

2207
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:29,680
Do you know what that is?

2208
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:32,800
Paralyzed stomach for years.

2209
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,920
Meaning you will vomit every day for the

2210
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:37,340
rest of your life.

2211
01:19:37,660 --> 01:19:39,620
And there is a CNN article from last

2212
01:19:39,620 --> 01:19:43,500
year that says hundreds of thousands now have

2213
01:19:43,500 --> 01:19:46,680
paralyzed stomachs that cannot be reversed for years

2214
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:48,000
after stopping Ozempic.

2215
01:19:48,260 --> 01:19:50,700
Anybody with diabetes, this drug is promoted for

2216
01:19:50,700 --> 01:19:51,140
diabetes.

2217
01:19:51,660 --> 01:19:52,680
It is published.

2218
01:19:52,900 --> 01:19:55,840
It worsens and speeds up diabetic retinopathy.

2219
01:19:56,060 --> 01:19:56,760
Do you know what that is?

2220
01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:59,800
You will be blind faster.

2221
01:20:01,140 --> 01:20:02,520
TikTok Doc speaks.

2222
01:20:03,740 --> 01:20:06,300
I like the helo monster venom.

2223
01:20:06,940 --> 01:20:10,140
You know, that's not exactly Exendin-4, but

2224
01:20:10,140 --> 01:20:11,180
it sounds good.

2225
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:16,300
It makes the Hodge twins go, I think

2226
01:20:16,300 --> 01:20:19,620
it's a peptide, Exendin-4.

2227
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:24,160
But the side effects, I think those are,

2228
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:28,060
I think the pharmaceutical, Big Pharma and the

2229
01:20:28,060 --> 01:20:31,240
M5M, they're doing people a big disservice by

2230
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:32,820
not reporting on this a little more in

2231
01:20:32,820 --> 01:20:33,900
depth, a little more properly.

2232
01:20:34,500 --> 01:20:37,400
I would say they're doing people a disservice.

2233
01:20:37,620 --> 01:20:41,100
Yeah, because it seems like, well, let's think

2234
01:20:41,100 --> 01:20:42,880
of, hold on a second.

2235
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,180
Let me bring out my crystal ball and

2236
01:20:45,180 --> 01:20:47,780
try to figure out why they're doing it.

2237
01:20:47,820 --> 01:20:50,320
Oh, that's maybe because that's all they do.

2238
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:51,380
Oh, let me think.

2239
01:20:51,460 --> 01:20:51,900
There it comes.

2240
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:52,880
It's coming in clear.

2241
01:20:58,930 --> 01:21:02,210
Pharmaceutical advertising owns the media.

2242
01:21:02,970 --> 01:21:06,150
When is RFK Jr. going to swipe his

2243
01:21:06,150 --> 01:21:07,330
pen and stop that?

2244
01:21:08,210 --> 01:21:09,590
Well, it's going to have to be Trump

2245
01:21:09,590 --> 01:21:11,810
that swipes the pen, but when does it

2246
01:21:11,810 --> 01:21:13,790
get recommended and when does it happen?

2247
01:21:14,130 --> 01:21:14,290
Yeah.

2248
01:21:14,910 --> 01:21:16,110
Here's my thinking.

2249
01:21:17,030 --> 01:21:21,090
I think they're going to use it as

2250
01:21:21,090 --> 01:21:23,530
leverage for a while before they do it.

2251
01:21:23,630 --> 01:21:25,190
So I think maybe a year or more

2252
01:21:25,190 --> 01:21:26,330
before they pull the plug on it.

2253
01:21:26,330 --> 01:21:28,390
Oh, they're going to threaten a little bit

2254
01:21:28,390 --> 01:21:30,350
and get some stuff out of them first?

2255
01:21:30,870 --> 01:21:31,130
Yeah.

2256
01:21:33,770 --> 01:21:34,910
That's what I'm guessing.

2257
01:21:35,830 --> 01:21:37,470
Because there's no other reason to do it.

2258
01:21:37,470 --> 01:21:39,090
What do you think will come first?

2259
01:21:41,010 --> 01:21:43,830
The banning, which of course there's going to

2260
01:21:43,830 --> 01:21:45,710
be a million judges because it's freedom of

2261
01:21:45,710 --> 01:21:46,990
speech and blah, blah, blah.

2262
01:21:47,310 --> 01:21:50,870
Will it be the banning of pharmaceutical advertisements

2263
01:21:50,870 --> 01:21:53,730
in advertising in general?

2264
01:21:53,930 --> 01:21:56,370
Or will we see the Epstein files?

2265
01:21:56,510 --> 01:21:57,610
Which one comes first?

2266
01:21:59,010 --> 01:22:01,490
Wow, that's a dead pool.

2267
01:22:02,370 --> 01:22:03,710
That's a good one.

2268
01:22:04,130 --> 01:22:04,470
Yeah.

2269
01:22:05,130 --> 01:22:06,870
Which will we see first?

2270
01:22:07,030 --> 01:22:07,730
Which will we see first?

2271
01:22:07,850 --> 01:22:10,730
My guess would be the advertising.

2272
01:22:11,870 --> 01:22:13,470
Yeah, yeah, you're probably right.

2273
01:22:13,470 --> 01:22:14,650
But I don't know if we'll see that

2274
01:22:14,650 --> 01:22:14,950
either.

2275
01:22:15,210 --> 01:22:16,870
It's a hard nut, man.

2276
01:22:16,950 --> 01:22:17,910
It has to be done.

2277
01:22:18,350 --> 01:22:19,090
Well, yes.

2278
01:22:19,630 --> 01:22:23,010
With that guy's clip, this has to be

2279
01:22:23,010 --> 01:22:23,310
done.

2280
01:22:23,630 --> 01:22:28,930
Because we can't let the pharmaceutical companies own

2281
01:22:28,930 --> 01:22:30,010
the media like this.

2282
01:22:30,070 --> 01:22:31,150
They own the media.

2283
01:22:31,410 --> 01:22:33,610
Yeah, they do.

2284
01:22:33,650 --> 01:22:35,130
It's not good for the public health.

2285
01:22:35,470 --> 01:22:36,610
No, clearly not.

2286
01:22:36,750 --> 01:22:37,610
And Kennedy promised.

2287
01:22:37,670 --> 01:22:38,910
That's one of the things he promised.

2288
01:22:38,950 --> 01:22:41,690
You have the three clips that you have,

2289
01:22:42,270 --> 01:22:44,350
which we should probably play again sometime.

2290
01:22:44,490 --> 01:22:45,170
We don't have to play them now.

2291
01:22:46,910 --> 01:22:49,010
One of the things that he promised was

2292
01:22:49,010 --> 01:22:53,870
releasing the data, stopping the advertising, and the

2293
01:22:53,870 --> 01:22:55,730
third one was going after the journals.

2294
01:22:56,770 --> 01:22:57,790
Yeah, for Ricoh.

2295
01:22:58,570 --> 01:22:59,390
For Ricoh.

2296
01:22:59,430 --> 01:23:00,490
All completely valid.

2297
01:23:01,430 --> 01:23:01,670
Yep.

2298
01:23:02,450 --> 01:23:04,570
Well, let's go to Canada for a second

2299
01:23:05,450 --> 01:23:07,130
before we dive in.

2300
01:23:07,350 --> 01:23:09,190
Can I get a clip in before we

2301
01:23:09,190 --> 01:23:09,390
do that?

2302
01:23:09,410 --> 01:23:10,410
Of course, of course.

2303
01:23:11,210 --> 01:23:12,990
Because it came up in the conversation.

2304
01:23:13,130 --> 01:23:14,770
I just want to check it off the

2305
01:23:14,770 --> 01:23:15,070
list.

2306
01:23:15,110 --> 01:23:15,430
Okay.

2307
01:23:16,090 --> 01:23:19,270
This is the astronauts getting paid overtime clip.

2308
01:23:19,410 --> 01:23:22,610
The two astronauts that you just helped save

2309
01:23:22,610 --> 01:23:25,310
from space, they didn't get any overtime pay

2310
01:23:25,310 --> 01:23:26,530
for all that extra time.

2311
01:23:26,630 --> 01:23:28,250
They got $5 a day per diem.

2312
01:23:28,390 --> 01:23:34,110
For 286 days, that is $1,430 in

2313
01:23:34,110 --> 01:23:35,970
extra pay.

2314
01:23:36,130 --> 01:23:38,810
Is there anything the administration can do to

2315
01:23:38,810 --> 01:23:40,530
get them, to make them whole?

2316
01:23:40,910 --> 01:23:42,870
Well, nobody's ever mentioned this to me.

2317
01:23:43,030 --> 01:23:44,070
If I have to, I'll pay it out

2318
01:23:44,070 --> 01:23:45,310
of my own pocket, okay?

2319
01:23:45,490 --> 01:23:46,290
I'll get it for them.

2320
01:23:47,670 --> 01:23:48,490
I'll take care of that.

2321
01:23:48,570 --> 01:23:49,070
I like that.

2322
01:23:49,250 --> 01:23:51,410
I'll pay it right out of my...

2323
01:23:51,410 --> 01:23:52,070
Is that all?

2324
01:23:52,150 --> 01:23:52,930
That's not a lot.

2325
01:23:53,390 --> 01:23:54,770
So what they had to go through.

2326
01:23:54,990 --> 01:23:56,650
And I want to thank Elon Musk, by

2327
01:23:56,650 --> 01:23:58,970
the way, because think if we don't have

2328
01:23:58,970 --> 01:23:59,230
him.

2329
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:03,480
That's our president right there.

2330
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:05,300
If I have to pay it, I'll cut

2331
01:24:05,300 --> 01:24:06,460
the check right now.

2332
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:08,660
Well, okay.

2333
01:24:08,860 --> 01:24:11,300
That changes my Canada sequence.

2334
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:13,480
To start with some grilling.

2335
01:24:13,860 --> 01:24:19,240
Some grilling of the temporary PM, Mark Carney.

2336
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:21,400
Former...

2337
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:22,460
Wasn't he the...

2338
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:24,660
Epstein Island guy.

2339
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:26,000
Yes, Epstein Island.

2340
01:24:27,060 --> 01:24:31,300
Adrenochrome junkie, allegedly, Mark Carney.

2341
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:32,640
He also...

2342
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:37,040
Was he the exchequer of the UK?

2343
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:37,840
Bank of England.

2344
01:24:37,940 --> 01:24:38,360
Bank of England.

2345
01:24:38,420 --> 01:24:39,960
He was the exchequer, was he not?

2346
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:41,100
I don't know if that was true.

2347
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:42,040
I thought he was the head of the

2348
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:42,300
Bank of England.

2349
01:24:42,480 --> 01:24:43,800
Oh, maybe the governor of the Bank of

2350
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:43,900
England.

2351
01:24:43,900 --> 01:24:44,600
The governor, yes.

2352
01:24:44,820 --> 01:24:48,340
So he was grilled on some similar travel

2353
01:24:48,340 --> 01:24:49,220
-related items.

2354
01:24:49,480 --> 01:24:52,080
You have not been elected in a federal

2355
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:52,860
election yet.

2356
01:24:53,260 --> 01:24:56,280
And you recently flew to Europe on government

2357
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:58,680
wide-body jet at the expense of at

2358
01:24:58,680 --> 01:24:59,680
least half a million dollars.

2359
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:01,040
So the question I have for you today,

2360
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:04,120
and maybe I'll say this before I ask

2361
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:06,220
the question, these people around you all paid

2362
01:25:06,220 --> 01:25:08,920
for that flight, and you've not been elected

2363
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:09,220
yet.

2364
01:25:09,540 --> 01:25:12,920
So will you commit to refunding these taxpayers

2365
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:13,600
for that flight?

2366
01:25:15,220 --> 01:25:17,140
Well, it's an interesting question, way of framing

2367
01:25:17,140 --> 01:25:17,320
it.

2368
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,940
Look, Lenny, I'm going to go back to...

2369
01:25:20,940 --> 01:25:22,380
I'm going to allude to the question that

2370
01:25:22,380 --> 01:25:26,120
was asked previously by Mr. Staples from the

2371
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,860
journal in the situation that we're in as

2372
01:25:28,860 --> 01:25:31,760
a country, which is we are in an

2373
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:33,440
economic crisis that's brought on...

2374
01:25:33,940 --> 01:25:35,560
Sorry, I'm going to answer the question.

2375
01:25:35,940 --> 01:25:39,520
Brought on by the tariffs that have been

2376
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,980
put on Canada, actual and prospective.

2377
01:25:42,700 --> 01:25:43,700
One of the challenges...

2378
01:25:43,700 --> 01:25:47,260
The economic crisis was brought on by former

2379
01:25:47,260 --> 01:25:49,660
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and you were his

2380
01:25:49,660 --> 01:25:50,480
advisor at the time.

2381
01:25:50,480 --> 01:25:52,200
I think you would find...

2382
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:54,680
These people did not create that problem.

2383
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:56,680
I certainly...

2384
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,220
Hey, nobody in Canada created that problem.

2385
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:02,000
Nobody in Canada created that problem.

2386
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:06,320
The US government has decided to put tariffs

2387
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,680
on all of its closest allies, and that's

2388
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:10,180
what my job is.

2389
01:26:10,180 --> 01:26:11,020
I'll take that as a no, then.

2390
01:26:11,180 --> 01:26:13,180
No, you'll take that as a very comprehensive

2391
01:26:13,180 --> 01:26:14,320
answer to your question.

2392
01:26:16,820 --> 01:26:17,660
He's great.

2393
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:19,380
But what about the jet?

2394
01:26:19,460 --> 01:26:20,500
I'll pay for it out of my own

2395
01:26:20,500 --> 01:26:20,800
pocket.

2396
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:22,140
I have a feeling he can pay for

2397
01:26:22,140 --> 01:26:22,960
it out of his own pocket.

2398
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:24,760
I think Carney's done okay.

2399
01:26:25,620 --> 01:26:27,820
So we start with a maple MAGA boots

2400
01:26:27,820 --> 01:26:28,520
on the ground.

2401
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:29,240
Maple MAGA.

2402
01:26:30,180 --> 01:26:31,440
Boots on the ground, Canada.

2403
01:26:31,540 --> 01:26:33,360
Adam and John, we've gone full retard in

2404
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:33,880
this country.

2405
01:26:34,620 --> 01:26:37,660
Pierre Polivere, the guy running against our newly

2406
01:26:37,660 --> 01:26:42,060
unelected WEF, World Economic Forum, PM Mark Carney,

2407
01:26:42,380 --> 01:26:44,680
has laid out a sound and solid plan

2408
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:46,680
to negotiate and find a deal with Trump,

2409
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,000
while the PM no one voted for wants

2410
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:51,520
to fight and put our elbows up.

2411
01:26:52,540 --> 01:26:55,900
Every liberal politician is calling Trump names and

2412
01:26:55,900 --> 01:26:57,840
stating we will stand up to this bully.

2413
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:00,460
Every woke Lib Joe in this nation is

2414
01:27:00,460 --> 01:27:02,320
full on in love with Mark Carney, as

2415
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,480
is our media, because our media receives hundreds

2416
01:27:04,480 --> 01:27:06,460
of millions of dollars in stipends from the

2417
01:27:06,460 --> 01:27:07,040
liberal government.

2418
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:08,040
Yes, true.

2419
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:09,200
Yes, 600 million.

2420
01:27:09,820 --> 01:27:11,220
Thus they have a vested interest, which is

2421
01:27:11,220 --> 01:27:12,620
about 50 cents, American.

2422
01:27:13,060 --> 01:27:14,720
Thus they have a vested interest in keeping

2423
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:15,940
the liberals in power.

2424
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,780
So if you ask the average Joe, Pierre

2425
01:27:18,780 --> 01:27:22,500
Polivere is a maple maggot Trumpian Nazi.

2426
01:27:23,820 --> 01:27:26,720
Carney runs Brookfield, a huge asset management company,

2427
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:27,900
which is said to have a lot of

2428
01:27:27,900 --> 01:27:30,180
holdings in foreign oil, but Carney won't say

2429
01:27:30,180 --> 01:27:31,480
what's in his trust.

2430
01:27:31,900 --> 01:27:34,060
Carney is a net zero dude, but he

2431
01:27:34,060 --> 01:27:36,360
just repealed the carbon tax, which was steadily

2432
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:37,680
creeping up higher and higher.

2433
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:39,620
It was a liberal tax to begin with,

2434
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:41,820
and now the party is claiming victory in

2435
01:27:41,820 --> 01:27:42,520
eliminating it.

2436
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:44,360
The stupidity truly hurts.

2437
01:27:44,700 --> 01:27:47,300
The plus side, if Canada becomes the 51st

2438
01:27:47,300 --> 01:27:49,300
state, I can at least move to Texas,

2439
01:27:49,380 --> 01:27:52,240
but we have 10 provinces and three territories,

2440
01:27:52,440 --> 01:27:54,360
so it would be 60 states and three

2441
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:55,000
territories.

2442
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:56,440
Save us.

2443
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:00,080
So the most interesting- That was a

2444
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:01,060
good note, I saw it.

2445
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:03,240
The most interesting part of this is elbows

2446
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:03,760
up.

2447
01:28:03,940 --> 01:28:08,140
Elbows up is, there's two terms, and unfortunately

2448
01:28:08,140 --> 01:28:11,580
you won't hear the second term in this

2449
01:28:11,580 --> 01:28:14,760
clip, but there's signs, people, you hear a

2450
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:17,280
lady talking, she's holding a sign, and her

2451
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,140
sign is, hands off our beavers.

2452
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:23,460
So you can't knock them for the creativity.

2453
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:25,620
Elbows up, hands off our beavers.

2454
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:28,820
A new rallying cry is echoing through Canada.

2455
01:28:29,420 --> 01:28:33,300
This Torontonian crowd is adamant Canadians are getting

2456
01:28:33,300 --> 01:28:34,460
their elbows up.

2457
01:28:35,620 --> 01:28:39,100
Elbows up everybody, let's do it.

2458
01:28:39,580 --> 01:28:42,240
The phrase has caught the country by storm

2459
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:45,000
since Canadian actor Mike Myers brought it back

2460
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:46,420
during Saturday Night Live.

2461
01:28:46,860 --> 01:28:48,360
It is now seen by many as a

2462
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,360
battle cry to push back against Donald Trump's

2463
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:53,600
tariffs and threats of annexation.

2464
01:28:54,620 --> 01:28:57,420
Fighting for this country is worth it, I

2465
01:28:57,420 --> 01:28:59,260
would do it all over again, and I

2466
01:28:59,260 --> 01:29:01,000
think being here is the best I could

2467
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:02,700
do at this point in my life to

2468
01:29:02,700 --> 01:29:03,740
stand up for Canada.

2469
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:05,560
This is a good rally word to say,

2470
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:09,160
we're not going to be treated shitty, and

2471
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,100
it's kind of like to see other people

2472
01:29:11,100 --> 01:29:13,360
who feel the same way you do.

2473
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:15,040
It's community building.

2474
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:17,640
Elbows up, elbows up.

2475
01:29:18,020 --> 01:29:21,500
The elbows up saying originates from ice hockey,

2476
01:29:21,740 --> 01:29:25,120
associated with the legendary player Geordie Howe who

2477
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:27,440
famously used his elbows to battle for the

2478
01:29:27,440 --> 01:29:30,960
puck, earning him the nickname Mr. Elbows in

2479
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:31,560
the process.

2480
01:29:32,300 --> 01:29:34,720
Canadians are gearing up for a fight both

2481
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:36,620
on ice and in the ballot boxes.

2482
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:39,940
Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected

2483
01:29:39,940 --> 01:29:42,320
to announce snap elections to be held on

2484
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:43,740
the 28th of April.

2485
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:45,280
Elbows, it's amazing.

2486
01:29:45,420 --> 01:29:47,700
They got elbows up from an American television

2487
01:29:47,700 --> 01:29:48,080
show.

2488
01:29:51,770 --> 01:29:53,550
Well, yeah, but it does stem from a

2489
01:29:53,550 --> 01:29:54,090
hockey player.

2490
01:29:54,390 --> 01:29:56,650
Yes, isn't that an illegal move?

2491
01:29:57,090 --> 01:29:58,430
Elbows up, is that...

2492
01:29:58,430 --> 01:30:00,170
I guess in hockey you can do whatever

2493
01:30:00,170 --> 01:30:00,870
you want, right?

2494
01:30:01,090 --> 01:30:03,430
When you're bashing everybody, you can do whatever

2495
01:30:03,430 --> 01:30:03,890
you want.

2496
01:30:05,250 --> 01:30:07,050
Height sticking, now that's...

2497
01:30:07,050 --> 01:30:07,810
Ah, yes, yeah.

2498
01:30:08,990 --> 01:30:10,110
We love you, Canada.

2499
01:30:10,450 --> 01:30:11,710
We love you as Canada.

2500
01:30:11,710 --> 01:30:14,430
We love you as a state.

2501
01:30:14,550 --> 01:30:15,050
It doesn't matter.

2502
01:30:15,190 --> 01:30:16,830
We don't want them as a state.

2503
01:30:17,610 --> 01:30:18,310
You don't.

2504
01:30:18,390 --> 01:30:18,810
I do.

2505
01:30:18,950 --> 01:30:20,530
I want at least Alberta.

2506
01:30:20,750 --> 01:30:21,650
Give us Alberta.

2507
01:30:22,330 --> 01:30:23,850
Well, Alberta would be great, but that's the

2508
01:30:23,850 --> 01:30:26,170
last place it's going to go because that's

2509
01:30:26,170 --> 01:30:27,070
the gold mine.

2510
01:30:27,310 --> 01:30:28,530
That's where all the money is.

2511
01:30:28,890 --> 01:30:32,270
And then President Trump pulls a fascinating stunt,

2512
01:30:32,390 --> 01:30:34,310
which I think is very good for our

2513
01:30:34,310 --> 01:30:36,970
economy, which is not really talked about, but

2514
01:30:36,970 --> 01:30:41,070
he's smart because he throws in, you know,

2515
01:30:41,250 --> 01:30:43,710
he calls the new fighter the F-47,

2516
01:30:44,410 --> 01:30:46,710
so everyone can obsess over that instead of,

2517
01:30:47,090 --> 01:30:49,350
wow, this was a company on the brink

2518
01:30:49,350 --> 01:30:53,030
of disaster, Boeing, and the president has thrown

2519
01:30:53,030 --> 01:30:55,690
them the lifeline of all lifelines.

2520
01:30:55,970 --> 01:30:58,090
A big win for Boeing as the aerospace

2521
01:30:58,090 --> 01:31:00,210
giant secures the contract for what will be

2522
01:31:00,210 --> 01:31:02,950
the next generation air dominance jet called the

2523
01:31:02,950 --> 01:31:06,690
F-47, announced by 47th President Donald Trump.

2524
01:31:06,910 --> 01:31:07,950
Thrilled to announce that.

2525
01:31:07,950 --> 01:31:09,170
The Air Force says it will be the

2526
01:31:09,170 --> 01:31:12,570
most advanced, lethal, and adaptable fighter ever developed,

2527
01:31:12,850 --> 01:31:16,790
designed to outpace, outmaneuver, and outmatch any adversary.

2528
01:31:17,010 --> 01:31:18,510
Boeing's been sort of like drifting.

2529
01:31:19,450 --> 01:31:22,030
Getting this contract means they have to be

2530
01:31:22,030 --> 01:31:23,830
a different company than what they've been.

2531
01:31:24,210 --> 01:31:27,110
Aviation consultant Michael Boyd believes President Trump is

2532
01:31:27,110 --> 01:31:29,310
well aware of the problems reported at Boeing,

2533
01:31:29,530 --> 01:31:32,390
from 737 production delays to the door plug

2534
01:31:32,390 --> 01:31:35,150
blowout on an Alaska commercial flight last year.

2535
01:31:35,150 --> 01:31:37,350
He says awarding the contract to the troubled

2536
01:31:37,350 --> 01:31:39,870
aerospace company will force it to make major

2537
01:31:39,870 --> 01:31:42,310
changes to safety and quality control.

2538
01:31:42,650 --> 01:31:45,510
Bringing more oversight from the Trump administration, they're

2539
01:31:45,510 --> 01:31:46,830
not going to put up with excuses.

2540
01:31:47,430 --> 01:31:51,370
Longtime Pentagon journalist turned defense consultant Marcus Weisgerber

2541
01:31:51,370 --> 01:31:53,650
explains there have been years-long test runs

2542
01:31:53,650 --> 01:31:56,090
of this upcoming 6th generation fighter jet.

2543
01:31:56,290 --> 01:31:58,610
He believes this contract will bring decades more

2544
01:31:58,610 --> 01:32:00,910
work to Boeing's fighter jet production site in

2545
01:32:00,910 --> 01:32:03,790
St. Louis, but that engineering or subcomponents could

2546
01:32:03,790 --> 01:32:07,190
be built elsewhere, meaning Renton's production facility is

2547
01:32:07,190 --> 01:32:08,130
not off the table.

2548
01:32:08,530 --> 01:32:10,430
Now the big question is, you have to

2549
01:32:10,430 --> 01:32:12,330
take this development program where they made a

2550
01:32:12,330 --> 01:32:15,510
number of, one, two, who knows how many,

2551
01:32:15,910 --> 01:32:19,010
prototypes and actually turn them into production-quality

2552
01:32:19,010 --> 01:32:19,450
aircraft.

2553
01:32:19,890 --> 01:32:21,350
That will be the big test for the

2554
01:32:21,350 --> 01:32:22,850
coming months and years ahead.

2555
01:32:23,230 --> 01:32:25,630
I think this is a good move for

2556
01:32:25,630 --> 01:32:26,110
America.

2557
01:32:27,590 --> 01:32:29,550
Keep them under wrap, keep them under your

2558
01:32:29,550 --> 01:32:31,450
thumb, keep control over them.

2559
01:32:31,450 --> 01:32:33,750
You can't be the same old Boeing.

2560
01:32:35,050 --> 01:32:36,670
Well, what states are we going to help

2561
01:32:36,670 --> 01:32:36,930
out?

2562
01:32:37,050 --> 01:32:38,150
I mean, I thought it was going to

2563
01:32:38,150 --> 01:32:40,030
be big, beautiful ships, but it seems to

2564
01:32:40,030 --> 01:32:42,270
be big, beautiful airplanes first.

2565
01:32:43,110 --> 01:32:44,090
I think it's great.

2566
01:32:45,430 --> 01:32:47,450
Well, a couple of things.

2567
01:32:47,550 --> 01:32:49,870
One, they haven't made, I think they haven't

2568
01:32:49,870 --> 01:32:51,230
made a jet for a while.

2569
01:32:51,410 --> 01:32:53,050
The F-18, I think, is theirs, but

2570
01:32:53,050 --> 01:32:54,670
the F-22, which is the super-

2571
01:32:54,670 --> 01:32:55,690
That's Lockheed, right?

2572
01:32:56,310 --> 01:32:56,890
The Raptor?

2573
01:32:56,970 --> 01:32:59,630
The F-22, I think, you have to

2574
01:32:59,630 --> 01:33:00,030
look it up.

2575
01:33:00,030 --> 01:33:01,430
I don't know if it's Lockheed or not.

2576
01:33:01,550 --> 01:33:03,870
But the F-22- No, the F

2577
01:33:03,870 --> 01:33:04,990
-35 is Lockheed.

2578
01:33:05,130 --> 01:33:07,810
The F-22, I think, is Grumman or

2579
01:33:07,810 --> 01:33:09,650
- It's a joint.

2580
01:33:09,910 --> 01:33:11,290
It's a co-lab.

2581
01:33:11,530 --> 01:33:13,190
It's Lockheed, Martin, and Boeing.

2582
01:33:14,210 --> 01:33:15,210
Oh, the F-22?

2583
01:33:15,530 --> 01:33:16,450
Yes, yes.

2584
01:33:16,950 --> 01:33:18,270
Well, I don't know what Boeing makes on

2585
01:33:18,270 --> 01:33:18,410
it.

2586
01:33:18,850 --> 01:33:20,450
Whatever the case is, it's too expensive.

2587
01:33:20,790 --> 01:33:21,690
The paint job, maybe?

2588
01:33:22,150 --> 01:33:24,610
It's a super- It's the jet of

2589
01:33:24,610 --> 01:33:24,950
jets.

2590
01:33:25,050 --> 01:33:26,290
We won't even export them.

2591
01:33:26,350 --> 01:33:27,030
They're so dynamite.

2592
01:33:27,590 --> 01:33:28,510
They're so good, the Raptor, yeah.

2593
01:33:28,530 --> 01:33:29,450
But they're expensive.

2594
01:33:29,450 --> 01:33:31,690
And this F-47 is supposed to be

2595
01:33:31,690 --> 01:33:33,470
better and cheaper, supposedly.

2596
01:33:33,610 --> 01:33:34,090
It won't be.

2597
01:33:35,170 --> 01:33:36,550
But I think this has a lot to

2598
01:33:36,550 --> 01:33:37,990
do with the fact that they can't get

2599
01:33:37,990 --> 01:33:41,990
the new presidential- the big, giant, president

2600
01:33:41,990 --> 01:33:43,510
jet finished, the new one.

2601
01:33:43,610 --> 01:33:44,290
It's still not done?

2602
01:33:44,310 --> 01:33:45,310
I thought it was done already.

2603
01:33:45,570 --> 01:33:48,710
No, they're delayed, and they can't get it

2604
01:33:48,710 --> 01:33:50,390
right, and all this and that.

2605
01:33:50,630 --> 01:33:52,590
I wouldn't fly that thing first out.

2606
01:33:52,910 --> 01:33:53,790
I'm like, yeah, let's open it up.

2607
01:33:53,990 --> 01:33:55,930
Let Vance fly that thing for a bit.

2608
01:33:57,450 --> 01:34:00,510
Lockheed Martin built most of the airframe and

2609
01:34:00,510 --> 01:34:02,490
weapon systems and final assembly.

2610
01:34:03,250 --> 01:34:06,570
Boeing provided the wings, the aft fuselage-

2611
01:34:06,570 --> 01:34:08,310
Yeah, Boeing wings are still good.

2612
01:34:08,390 --> 01:34:10,550
And the avionics and training systems.

2613
01:34:11,450 --> 01:34:13,890
I used to room with a guy who

2614
01:34:13,890 --> 01:34:16,470
was an aeronautical engineer when I was in

2615
01:34:16,470 --> 01:34:19,250
college, and he gave me a long lecture

2616
01:34:19,250 --> 01:34:22,710
about the wings, the various- the flapping

2617
01:34:22,710 --> 01:34:24,590
wings and the rigid wings and all the

2618
01:34:24,590 --> 01:34:25,030
rest of it.

2619
01:34:25,030 --> 01:34:28,810
Yeah, and everyone believes Boeing makes terrific wings.

2620
01:34:29,290 --> 01:34:31,510
I mean, when it comes to wings, Boeing's

2621
01:34:31,510 --> 01:34:32,050
your company.

2622
01:34:33,710 --> 01:34:36,650
And I wonder if South Carolina will get

2623
01:34:36,650 --> 01:34:38,350
some business out of this or some other

2624
01:34:38,350 --> 01:34:39,390
states.

2625
01:34:39,710 --> 01:34:42,030
It'll be a beauty contest for sure.

2626
01:34:43,210 --> 01:34:45,050
But good, that could be- The jet

2627
01:34:45,050 --> 01:34:46,030
will run over Billy.

2628
01:34:46,870 --> 01:34:48,530
I mean, this is a disaster.

2629
01:34:48,870 --> 01:34:52,070
Well, but President Trump, he took that, even

2630
01:34:52,070 --> 01:34:53,710
though he hasn't taken delivery yet, so I'm

2631
01:34:53,710 --> 01:34:56,030
sure he hasn't paid, or at least not

2632
01:34:56,030 --> 01:34:59,090
all tranches, but the new Air Force One,

2633
01:34:59,230 --> 01:35:02,630
both of them, went from $4 billion down

2634
01:35:02,630 --> 01:35:03,990
to- What did he get it down

2635
01:35:03,990 --> 01:35:04,210
to?

2636
01:35:04,570 --> 01:35:05,850
Well, he had some- He did some

2637
01:35:05,850 --> 01:35:08,030
sort of a screwball deal, which I think

2638
01:35:08,030 --> 01:35:09,510
is why the plane's delayed.

2639
01:35:10,430 --> 01:35:12,870
It was- So they can't overbill him.

2640
01:35:13,010 --> 01:35:14,570
Because, you know, Boeing and all these guys,

2641
01:35:14,670 --> 01:35:16,290
they like to- Hey, you know, the

2642
01:35:16,290 --> 01:35:17,730
price went up and you're halfway- instead

2643
01:35:17,730 --> 01:35:19,450
of being halfway pregnant, you have to now

2644
01:35:19,450 --> 01:35:20,230
pay more money.

2645
01:35:21,090 --> 01:35:24,250
No, I think it was- I think

2646
01:35:24,250 --> 01:35:25,850
he said, I don't like the number 4

2647
01:35:25,850 --> 01:35:27,430
billion, you got to get it under 4,

2648
01:35:27,450 --> 01:35:28,230
and they came at 3.

2649
01:35:29,330 --> 01:35:30,830
No, under 3, he said.

2650
01:35:31,430 --> 01:35:32,730
I want under 3, and they came at

2651
01:35:32,730 --> 01:35:33,890
2.9 billion.

2652
01:35:33,990 --> 01:35:36,170
We have a producer in the audience that

2653
01:35:36,170 --> 01:35:39,250
will give us the updated information because we're

2654
01:35:39,250 --> 01:35:40,110
just yakking.

2655
01:35:40,110 --> 01:35:41,870
Well, I kind of remember this.

2656
01:35:42,910 --> 01:35:43,990
I kind of remember this.

2657
01:35:44,270 --> 01:35:45,690
I can't find any- I knew we

2658
01:35:45,690 --> 01:35:46,610
had- I know we had a clip

2659
01:35:46,610 --> 01:35:47,410
on it at some point.

2660
01:35:49,490 --> 01:35:51,650
Trump- It was a big deal at

2661
01:35:51,650 --> 01:35:52,130
the time.

2662
01:35:52,530 --> 01:35:52,650
Yeah.

2663
01:35:53,650 --> 01:35:55,630
So let's talk about Murdoch Media.

2664
01:35:57,030 --> 01:35:57,830
Murdoch Media.

2665
01:35:58,430 --> 01:35:58,830
Okay.

2666
01:35:59,370 --> 01:36:01,130
I mean, who- Who's going to run

2667
01:36:01,130 --> 01:36:02,710
it when the old man croaks?

2668
01:36:03,090 --> 01:36:04,590
I think the old man's not running it

2669
01:36:04,590 --> 01:36:04,890
now.

2670
01:36:04,990 --> 01:36:06,570
They always- they credit him with running

2671
01:36:06,570 --> 01:36:06,730
it.

2672
01:36:06,790 --> 01:36:07,850
I just don't believe it.

2673
01:36:07,910 --> 01:36:08,750
It's like Soros.

2674
01:36:08,850 --> 01:36:10,270
Like, yeah, Soros is doing it.

2675
01:36:10,310 --> 01:36:11,990
Soros is- He's not doing anything, Soros.

2676
01:36:12,010 --> 01:36:13,590
He's one foot in the grave, that guy.

2677
01:36:13,670 --> 01:36:14,530
He's so old.

2678
01:36:15,150 --> 01:36:15,470
Yeah.

2679
01:36:15,590 --> 01:36:16,470
All right, Murdoch Media.

2680
01:36:16,470 --> 01:36:17,850
This- Is this Scott?

2681
01:36:17,990 --> 01:36:19,450
Is this- Is Scott on the-

2682
01:36:19,450 --> 01:36:22,670
Is Scott on the- I don't remember.

2683
01:36:22,850 --> 01:36:24,810
Well- Probably not.

2684
01:36:25,070 --> 01:36:25,330
Maybe.

2685
01:36:25,370 --> 01:36:28,090
President Trump can ordinarily count on the support

2686
01:36:28,090 --> 01:36:30,330
of more conservative news outlets.

2687
01:36:30,490 --> 01:36:33,330
But it's been tough to sugarcoat nose-diving

2688
01:36:33,330 --> 01:36:34,770
- Ah, there he is.

2689
01:36:34,790 --> 01:36:35,580
Suffering succotash.

2690
01:36:36,330 --> 01:36:36,890
I'm Scott.

2691
01:36:41,300 --> 01:36:41,840
Simon.

2692
01:36:42,180 --> 01:36:45,140
President Trump can ordinarily count on the support

2693
01:36:45,140 --> 01:36:47,300
of more conservative news outlets.

2694
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:50,360
But it's been tough to sugarcoat nose-diving

2695
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:52,000
- Man, it's just like the jingle, isn't

2696
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:52,180
it?

2697
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:54,360
It's been tough to sugarcoat.

2698
01:36:54,380 --> 01:36:57,480
Stocks and consumer confidence, trade wars, and a

2699
01:36:57,480 --> 01:36:58,240
looming recession.

2700
01:36:58,480 --> 01:37:02,140
NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik joins us now

2701
01:37:02,140 --> 01:37:03,140
to tell us more.

2702
01:37:03,480 --> 01:37:04,380
Good to have you, David.

2703
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:05,240
Thanks.

2704
01:37:05,480 --> 01:37:05,740
Thanks.

2705
01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:07,880
Where are we starting to see some of

2706
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:08,640
this pushback?

2707
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:10,940
Well, let's set aside the never-Trump-er

2708
01:37:10,940 --> 01:37:11,200
right.

2709
01:37:11,300 --> 01:37:13,120
Let's start with the most important part of

2710
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:15,440
the conservative press, and that's the Murdoch Media.

2711
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:18,100
There are really four big parts of that.

2712
01:37:18,180 --> 01:37:19,760
There's the Wall Street Journal news section, the

2713
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:21,640
editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal, the

2714
01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:23,000
New York Post, and of course, biggest of

2715
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:23,860
all, Fox News.

2716
01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:26,380
All in various ways, some of it quite

2717
01:37:26,380 --> 01:37:28,580
gentle, some of it less so, are pushing

2718
01:37:28,580 --> 01:37:30,800
back on Trump on this, reflecting, in the

2719
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:32,220
terms of the Wall Street Journal's, I think,

2720
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:35,820
rigorously reported news pages, reflecting their own coverage,

2721
01:37:35,980 --> 01:37:38,640
but also, in the other elements, fulfilling their

2722
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:41,140
brand promise to various constituencies they're trying to

2723
01:37:41,140 --> 01:37:43,440
take care of, and also reflecting what Rupert

2724
01:37:43,440 --> 01:37:45,480
Murdoch really wants, which is to kind of

2725
01:37:45,480 --> 01:37:47,940
gently ease Trump into what he thinks is

2726
01:37:47,940 --> 01:37:50,340
the right thing to do, creating predictable, stable

2727
01:37:50,340 --> 01:37:52,260
markets, and not trade wars.

2728
01:37:52,540 --> 01:37:53,440
How do we know this?

2729
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:55,380
How do we know that's what Murdoch wants?

2730
01:37:55,580 --> 01:37:56,540
We don't know.

2731
01:37:56,660 --> 01:37:57,980
The guy's a mind reader.

2732
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:00,940
This report is as bogus as anything I've

2733
01:38:00,940 --> 01:38:01,760
ever recorded.

2734
01:38:03,950 --> 01:38:05,210
Well, let's hear the rest.

2735
01:38:05,490 --> 01:38:06,810
So, what are they saying?

2736
01:38:07,130 --> 01:38:08,670
Well, you've seen these big headlines in the

2737
01:38:08,670 --> 01:38:10,950
Wall Street Journal reporting, you know, particularly on

2738
01:38:10,950 --> 01:38:14,570
fears about chief executives and finance chiefs, and

2739
01:38:14,570 --> 01:38:17,550
real concerns about how consumers are hurting up

2740
01:38:17,550 --> 01:38:19,810
and down the household income levels, and how

2741
01:38:19,810 --> 01:38:22,770
they're going to be affected Take the New

2742
01:38:22,770 --> 01:38:24,350
York Post's front page last week.

2743
01:38:24,450 --> 01:38:26,190
You saw this huge cartoon of Trump plunging

2744
01:38:26,190 --> 01:38:28,130
straight down the incline of a roller coaster

2745
01:38:28,130 --> 01:38:30,270
headline, buckle up, markets plunge.

2746
01:38:30,670 --> 01:38:32,370
You saw the Wall Street Journal's editorial page

2747
01:38:32,370 --> 01:38:33,230
talking about tariffs.

2748
01:38:33,690 --> 01:38:35,510
They called his moves on Canada and Mexico

2749
01:38:35,510 --> 01:38:37,330
the dumbest trade war in history a few

2750
01:38:37,330 --> 01:38:39,110
weeks ago, and sort of doubled up a

2751
01:38:39,110 --> 01:38:41,150
few days ago, repeating the line again.

2752
01:38:41,470 --> 01:38:44,110
And then there's a very gentle explainer by

2753
01:38:44,110 --> 01:38:47,050
Fox News anchor, Bret Baier, explaining why tariffs

2754
01:38:47,050 --> 01:38:49,090
don't really work the way the president claims

2755
01:38:49,090 --> 01:38:50,090
that they actually end up really working.

2756
01:38:50,090 --> 01:38:54,650
And even Fox host Maria Bartiromo, a true

2757
01:38:54,650 --> 01:38:56,710
Trump loyalist, here's what it sounded like when

2758
01:38:56,710 --> 01:38:58,770
she mixed it up recently with Trump's Commerce

2759
01:38:58,770 --> 01:39:00,370
Secretary, Howard Lutnick.

2760
01:39:00,570 --> 01:39:02,590
I know you said you're not expecting a

2761
01:39:02,590 --> 01:39:04,810
recession, but investors are on edge over the

2762
01:39:04,810 --> 01:39:07,050
possibility of a recession this year after the

2763
01:39:07,050 --> 01:39:09,830
Atlanta Federal Reserve said that it's predicting a

2764
01:39:09,830 --> 01:39:12,410
2.4% contraction in the first quarter.

2765
01:39:12,930 --> 01:39:15,910
And of course, President Trump would not Wait,

2766
01:39:16,090 --> 01:39:16,310
wait, wait.

2767
01:39:16,350 --> 01:39:17,010
Say that again.

2768
01:39:17,110 --> 01:39:17,530
A what?

2769
01:39:18,170 --> 01:39:18,590
A what?

2770
01:39:18,870 --> 01:39:20,070
The Atlanta Federal Reserve a 2.4%

2771
01:39:20,070 --> 01:39:21,190
contraction Correct.

2772
01:39:22,590 --> 01:39:23,790
And that's somebody who goes out of her

2773
01:39:23,790 --> 01:39:25,210
way to frame things in the best possible

2774
01:39:25,210 --> 01:39:26,390
way for Trump most of the time.

2775
01:39:26,470 --> 01:39:27,990
She just got an appointment from Trump to

2776
01:39:27,990 --> 01:39:29,050
the board of the John F.

2777
01:39:29,170 --> 01:39:30,450
Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.

2778
01:39:30,890 --> 01:39:33,310
Oh, oh, Maria can get me tickets.

2779
01:39:33,630 --> 01:39:34,530
This is good news.

2780
01:39:36,890 --> 01:39:37,650
You want tickets?

2781
01:39:39,350 --> 01:39:41,270
I've never been to the Kennedy Center.

2782
01:39:41,370 --> 01:39:41,730
Have you?

2783
01:39:42,470 --> 01:39:42,690
No.

2784
01:39:43,170 --> 01:39:43,730
I would go.

2785
01:39:43,750 --> 01:39:44,950
I would go to a performance.

2786
01:39:45,330 --> 01:39:47,430
Oh, I want to see nice ballet.

2787
01:39:50,340 --> 01:39:52,380
So the way they frame this in that

2788
01:39:52,380 --> 01:39:54,600
little clip they took with Lutnick going to

2789
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:55,940
denying the...

2790
01:39:57,480 --> 01:39:59,420
Which is quite a retraction.

2791
01:39:59,860 --> 01:40:00,620
It's ridiculous.

2792
01:40:01,180 --> 01:40:01,800
It doesn't make any sense.

2793
01:40:02,140 --> 01:40:02,880
It's a one-off.

2794
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:05,040
One Federal Reserve person said this.

2795
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:05,460
Yeah.

2796
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:06,980
And so they made a big fuss out

2797
01:40:06,980 --> 01:40:07,080
of it.

2798
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:10,340
They're trying to they're trying to foment this

2799
01:40:10,340 --> 01:40:11,240
is the...

2800
01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:15,360
Oh, they want to because recessions are since

2801
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:17,720
we threw out the definition of recession they're

2802
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:19,120
just now just in your mind.

2803
01:40:21,550 --> 01:40:22,470
Yes, it's true.

2804
01:40:22,790 --> 01:40:23,770
So here we go with the list.

2805
01:40:24,510 --> 01:40:25,370
End of this thing.

2806
01:40:25,570 --> 01:40:28,750
And how have other pro-Trump outlets covered

2807
01:40:28,750 --> 01:40:29,470
this moment?

2808
01:40:29,970 --> 01:40:31,390
I think you look at the four D's.

2809
01:40:31,630 --> 01:40:33,830
Defend, deflect, deny, disregard.

2810
01:40:34,070 --> 01:40:34,330
Whoa.

2811
01:40:34,510 --> 01:40:35,830
You've seen that in a bunch of right

2812
01:40:35,830 --> 01:40:36,910
-wing pro-Trump outlets.

2813
01:40:37,150 --> 01:40:39,490
We saw the left-wing guy kill the

2814
01:40:39,490 --> 01:40:43,050
the insurance CEO using those terms.

2815
01:40:43,650 --> 01:40:44,090
Luigi.

2816
01:40:44,290 --> 01:40:45,310
It's Luigi talk.

2817
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:47,570
Defend, deflect, deny, disregard.

2818
01:40:48,070 --> 01:40:49,750
You've seen that in a bunch of right

2819
01:40:49,750 --> 01:40:50,790
-wing pro-Trump outlets.

2820
01:40:51,010 --> 01:40:52,510
Take Newsmax's Rob Finnerty.

2821
01:40:52,630 --> 01:40:55,610
He recently debated Ontario Premier Doug Ford about

2822
01:40:55,610 --> 01:40:58,170
Canada's reaction to Trump's tariff moves.

2823
01:40:58,430 --> 01:40:59,890
How is that fair?

2824
01:41:00,050 --> 01:41:02,470
I think that Donald Trump just wants to

2825
01:41:02,470 --> 01:41:06,330
get the best deal for the American consumer

2826
01:41:06,330 --> 01:41:08,430
even if that means some pain in the

2827
01:41:08,430 --> 01:41:08,970
short term.

2828
01:41:09,390 --> 01:41:10,610
There are other right-wing and pro-Trump

2829
01:41:10,610 --> 01:41:12,810
sites that simply are focusing the blame on

2830
01:41:12,810 --> 01:41:14,850
former President Joe Biden for whatever's going wrong

2831
01:41:14,850 --> 01:41:16,170
now or might in the future.

2832
01:41:16,890 --> 01:41:18,990
Well, what do you think the impact of

2833
01:41:18,990 --> 01:41:20,010
this coverage will be?

2834
01:41:20,610 --> 01:41:22,010
Well, I think these things are both a

2835
01:41:22,010 --> 01:41:23,310
leading and a lagging indicator.

2836
01:41:23,310 --> 01:41:24,890
They tell you where these outlets think their

2837
01:41:24,890 --> 01:41:25,510
audiences are.

2838
01:41:25,610 --> 01:41:25,970
What?

2839
01:41:26,030 --> 01:41:27,330
And in the case of Fox...

2840
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:28,010
What did you say?

2841
01:41:28,190 --> 01:41:29,390
A lagging leading?

2842
01:41:29,390 --> 01:41:31,210
No, a leading and a lagging.

2843
01:41:32,230 --> 01:41:34,770
How can something be a leading and a

2844
01:41:34,770 --> 01:41:35,150
lagging?

2845
01:41:35,190 --> 01:41:37,530
Well, it's Bollinger Bands, obviously.

2846
01:41:37,950 --> 01:41:39,130
It's a new...

2847
01:41:39,930 --> 01:41:44,090
It's a new technical analysis you can put

2848
01:41:44,090 --> 01:41:45,050
on the price of Bitcoin.

2849
01:41:45,410 --> 01:41:47,350
You have a lagging and a leading indicator.

2850
01:41:47,890 --> 01:41:49,270
Well, I think these things are both a

2851
01:41:49,270 --> 01:41:50,570
leading and a lagging indicator.

2852
01:41:50,690 --> 01:41:52,130
They tell you where these outlets think their

2853
01:41:52,130 --> 01:41:52,850
audiences are.

2854
01:41:53,430 --> 01:41:54,690
And in the case of Fox, where they

2855
01:41:54,690 --> 01:41:56,530
hope to get the president to because they

2856
01:41:56,530 --> 01:41:58,370
know few people are watching Fox and the

2857
01:41:58,370 --> 01:42:00,010
media more closely than he does.

2858
01:42:01,010 --> 01:42:02,070
Okay, yeah.

2859
01:42:02,190 --> 01:42:03,510
That's what he's doing all day.

2860
01:42:04,770 --> 01:42:09,570
You know, Fox acquired a podcast company.

2861
01:42:09,810 --> 01:42:11,370
This is a couple months back.

2862
01:42:12,490 --> 01:42:14,330
Actually, it was February, I think.

2863
01:42:14,890 --> 01:42:15,590
What did he acquire?

2864
01:42:16,150 --> 01:42:17,290
Red Seed Ventures.

2865
01:42:17,370 --> 01:42:20,390
Well, it's not really a podcasting company, but

2866
01:42:20,390 --> 01:42:21,170
it's a...

2867
01:42:22,950 --> 01:42:25,830
They do technology, marketing and support.

2868
01:42:26,330 --> 01:42:28,450
And I think they also do sales for

2869
01:42:28,450 --> 01:42:31,950
Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Bill O'Reilly.

2870
01:42:33,670 --> 01:42:34,950
I don't know who else.

2871
01:42:38,710 --> 01:42:39,190
So it's...

2872
01:42:39,190 --> 01:42:39,610
That's enough.

2873
01:42:40,010 --> 01:42:41,630
Yeah, you don't need much more than that.

2874
01:42:42,190 --> 01:42:45,830
Well, going on this recession thing, it's interesting

2875
01:42:45,830 --> 01:42:47,310
that you brought that up with the Murdoch

2876
01:42:47,310 --> 01:42:47,610
stuff.

2877
01:42:47,730 --> 01:42:50,470
I have Good Morning America, who we're talking

2878
01:42:50,470 --> 01:42:52,810
about a recession, and they start with a

2879
01:42:52,810 --> 01:42:53,310
definition.

2880
01:42:53,610 --> 01:42:55,670
A recession is part of the normal economic

2881
01:42:55,670 --> 01:42:56,430
cycle, right?

2882
01:42:56,470 --> 01:42:58,230
It usually occurs every six to seven years.

2883
01:42:58,350 --> 01:43:00,730
And in a recession, the economy just stops

2884
01:43:00,730 --> 01:43:01,150
growing.

2885
01:43:01,250 --> 01:43:03,850
It actually starts shrinking for several months.

2886
01:43:04,110 --> 01:43:06,230
At the same time, unemployment rises.

2887
01:43:06,850 --> 01:43:08,330
And there's actually a panel of experts at

2888
01:43:08,330 --> 01:43:10,470
the National Bureau of Economic Research who make

2889
01:43:10,470 --> 01:43:11,030
this call.

2890
01:43:11,110 --> 01:43:12,870
It's based on a number of factors, including

2891
01:43:12,870 --> 01:43:14,750
hiring and consumer spending.

2892
01:43:15,110 --> 01:43:18,070
Now, today, we've got uncertainty over tariffs, government

2893
01:43:18,070 --> 01:43:20,150
layoffs, falling consumer confidence.

2894
01:43:20,150 --> 01:43:22,410
All of that has some economists now raising

2895
01:43:22,410 --> 01:43:24,390
the odds of a recession to as much

2896
01:43:24,390 --> 01:43:25,510
as 40%.

2897
01:43:25,510 --> 01:43:28,190
And even the Federal Reserve this week lowered

2898
01:43:28,190 --> 01:43:30,090
its outlook for economic growth, but they said

2899
01:43:30,090 --> 01:43:32,710
the likelihood of a recession is, quote, not

2900
01:43:32,710 --> 01:43:33,290
high.

2901
01:43:34,130 --> 01:43:35,050
Oh, okay.

2902
01:43:35,910 --> 01:43:36,710
Not high?

2903
01:43:36,870 --> 01:43:38,910
40% is not over 50%?

2904
01:43:39,110 --> 01:43:40,890
Less than a half and half chance?

2905
01:43:41,090 --> 01:43:42,270
Less than half and half chance.

2906
01:43:42,290 --> 01:43:44,030
And, of course, the old definition used to

2907
01:43:44,030 --> 01:43:46,050
be two quarters of contraction.

2908
01:43:46,310 --> 01:43:47,470
Well, I'm glad you brought that up.

2909
01:43:47,570 --> 01:43:47,890
Interesting.

2910
01:43:48,010 --> 01:43:49,890
And part of the conversation was how the

2911
01:43:49,890 --> 01:43:53,010
recession, the previous recession, impacted us all differently,

2912
01:43:53,170 --> 01:43:53,370
right?

2913
01:43:53,470 --> 01:43:53,570
Right.

2914
01:43:53,570 --> 01:43:54,730
And so if you were to slip into

2915
01:43:54,730 --> 01:43:56,790
a recession this time, how might it be

2916
01:43:56,790 --> 01:43:58,450
different than what we've seen in the past?

2917
01:43:58,530 --> 01:44:00,850
Especially for folks who would be living through

2918
01:44:00,850 --> 01:44:02,250
a recession for the first time now.

2919
01:44:02,370 --> 01:44:05,390
So there have been 14 recessions in the

2920
01:44:05,390 --> 01:44:08,410
U.S. since the Great Depression of 1929.

2921
01:44:08,630 --> 01:44:10,470
The shortest was the one during COVID.

2922
01:44:10,890 --> 01:44:12,610
That lasted just two months.

2923
01:44:12,710 --> 01:44:14,870
Then prior to that, the Great Recession, remember,

2924
01:44:14,990 --> 01:44:15,810
of 2007.

2925
01:44:16,050 --> 01:44:17,850
Now, that one lasted a year and a

2926
01:44:17,850 --> 01:44:18,070
half.

2927
01:44:18,090 --> 01:44:18,750
It was painful.

2928
01:44:18,750 --> 01:44:21,070
It was triggered by the housing crisis after

2929
01:44:21,070 --> 01:44:23,610
banks gave risky loans to borrowers who couldn't

2930
01:44:23,610 --> 01:44:24,250
afford them.

2931
01:44:24,510 --> 01:44:26,270
That led a lot of folks to default

2932
01:44:26,270 --> 01:44:26,990
on their loans.

2933
01:44:27,370 --> 01:44:28,970
And as we know, it caused other financial

2934
01:44:28,970 --> 01:44:29,530
problems.

2935
01:44:30,330 --> 01:44:31,610
What was the...

2936
01:44:31,610 --> 01:44:33,530
You posted on X about...

2937
01:44:33,530 --> 01:44:34,670
It lasted a year and a half.

2938
01:44:35,410 --> 01:44:36,390
Oh, no, a year and a half.

2939
01:44:36,490 --> 01:44:37,510
Yeah, a year and a half.

2940
01:44:37,850 --> 01:44:38,690
That's about a year.

2941
01:44:38,930 --> 01:44:40,770
I think we both saw this and you

2942
01:44:40,770 --> 01:44:42,210
re-posted it.

2943
01:44:42,250 --> 01:44:43,070
You re-Xed it.

2944
01:44:43,150 --> 01:44:44,570
You re-slashed it on X.

2945
01:44:45,810 --> 01:44:47,350
There was something that we needed to pay

2946
01:44:47,350 --> 01:44:50,530
attention to that was very similar.

2947
01:44:50,850 --> 01:44:53,330
Oh, it was the private equity.

2948
01:44:53,650 --> 01:44:54,330
Private equity.

2949
01:44:56,410 --> 01:44:57,690
The CLOs.

2950
01:44:58,870 --> 01:44:59,650
The private...

2951
01:44:59,650 --> 01:45:01,010
Yeah, well, the private equity thing, I think,

2952
01:45:01,110 --> 01:45:03,310
which Horowitz and I discussed...

2953
01:45:03,990 --> 01:45:04,410
Tell us.

2954
01:45:04,510 --> 01:45:07,690
...is that these private equity operations are just

2955
01:45:07,690 --> 01:45:09,710
basically raping the economy.

2956
01:45:09,930 --> 01:45:10,290
Yes.

2957
01:45:11,070 --> 01:45:11,450
Yeah.

2958
01:45:11,950 --> 01:45:14,310
Yeah, so they buy up...

2959
01:45:14,310 --> 01:45:19,610
They buy something like Joann's Knitting Factory, whatever

2960
01:45:19,610 --> 01:45:20,310
that is called.

2961
01:45:20,570 --> 01:45:20,930
Joann's.

2962
01:45:20,930 --> 01:45:21,890
Joann's, yes.

2963
01:45:22,450 --> 01:45:22,970
Whatever it is.

2964
01:45:23,270 --> 01:45:24,150
The fabric store.

2965
01:45:24,410 --> 01:45:24,650
Fabrics, yes.

2966
01:45:24,850 --> 01:45:26,890
And then they saddle it up with debt,

2967
01:45:26,970 --> 01:45:29,090
but then the debt that they have is

2968
01:45:29,090 --> 01:45:31,690
very short-term debt with variable interest rates,

2969
01:45:31,750 --> 01:45:33,490
and then they can't pay back, and then

2970
01:45:33,490 --> 01:45:34,950
they just have to start selling off pieces

2971
01:45:34,950 --> 01:45:35,530
of the company.

2972
01:45:35,910 --> 01:45:38,310
But they've already taken their fees and their

2973
01:45:38,310 --> 01:45:38,770
percentages.

2974
01:45:39,130 --> 01:45:41,270
Well, yeah, there's also some...

2975
01:45:41,270 --> 01:45:43,690
a very forward scam of some sort that

2976
01:45:43,690 --> 01:45:44,510
has to do with taxes.

2977
01:45:44,510 --> 01:45:46,610
Oh, yeah, the tax loophole.

2978
01:45:47,510 --> 01:45:48,770
It carried interest.

2979
01:45:49,470 --> 01:45:50,030
Carried interest.

2980
01:45:50,150 --> 01:45:50,370
Yeah.

2981
01:45:50,870 --> 01:45:52,470
And so they get to make money on

2982
01:45:52,470 --> 01:45:54,270
the deal, but the company goes bankrupt.

2983
01:45:54,610 --> 01:45:55,990
You have to bankrupt the company to make

2984
01:45:55,990 --> 01:45:56,330
it work.

2985
01:45:56,570 --> 01:45:57,950
But ultimately...

2986
01:45:57,950 --> 01:46:00,450
So I know that our HVAC company, I

2987
01:46:00,450 --> 01:46:02,210
think they were bought up by private equity

2988
01:46:02,210 --> 01:46:05,050
because a lot of HVAC companies were bought

2989
01:46:05,050 --> 01:46:05,230
up.

2990
01:46:05,670 --> 01:46:06,310
So let's say...

2991
01:46:07,010 --> 01:46:07,490
HVAC.

2992
01:46:07,990 --> 01:46:08,790
Air conditioner.

2993
01:46:09,070 --> 01:46:10,530
Air conditioner...

2994
01:46:11,630 --> 01:46:13,170
Heating and air conditioning companies.

2995
01:46:13,570 --> 01:46:13,990
Oh, okay.

2996
01:46:14,130 --> 01:46:15,910
You don't have that in San Francisco.

2997
01:46:17,170 --> 01:46:18,450
That's why I don't know the term.

2998
01:46:19,190 --> 01:46:19,550
Exactly.

2999
01:46:19,870 --> 01:46:21,070
You just have a fireplace.

3000
01:46:21,370 --> 01:46:22,730
Maybe you might need that, and you got

3001
01:46:22,730 --> 01:46:23,150
a fan.

3002
01:46:23,450 --> 01:46:23,830
That's rare.

3003
01:46:24,150 --> 01:46:25,610
A fireplace and a fan.

3004
01:46:26,130 --> 01:46:26,790
Oh, it's freezing.

3005
01:46:26,930 --> 01:46:27,410
It's 50.

3006
01:46:27,670 --> 01:46:29,430
Yeah, so spark up the fireplace.

3007
01:46:29,670 --> 01:46:31,870
So the HVAC companies, they've bought up a

3008
01:46:31,870 --> 01:46:36,510
lot of these, and I think also veterinarians.

3009
01:46:36,630 --> 01:46:38,810
But the HVAC is interesting to me because

3010
01:46:38,810 --> 01:46:41,050
we have two compressors.

3011
01:46:41,850 --> 01:46:44,290
So if they go out of business or

3012
01:46:44,290 --> 01:46:46,290
they make the companies go out of business

3013
01:46:46,290 --> 01:46:49,530
because they have to sell off real estate

3014
01:46:49,530 --> 01:46:54,730
or whatever, inventory, doesn't that create an incredible

3015
01:46:54,730 --> 01:46:58,250
opportunity for new HVAC companies to just reboot

3016
01:46:58,250 --> 01:46:59,190
and start up again?

3017
01:46:59,610 --> 01:47:00,910
It doesn't mean like all of a sudden

3018
01:47:00,910 --> 01:47:03,470
there's no more HVAC engineers, no more service.

3019
01:47:03,470 --> 01:47:04,990
Well, you say the same thing with Joann's,

3020
01:47:05,070 --> 01:47:07,870
but the fact is that these companies took

3021
01:47:07,870 --> 01:47:10,170
a long time to roll out.

3022
01:47:10,310 --> 01:47:12,090
You just don't go from zero to 100.

3023
01:47:12,710 --> 01:47:13,190
Right.

3024
01:47:13,390 --> 01:47:15,230
You start with one store, then you got

3025
01:47:15,230 --> 01:47:17,710
two, then maybe four, then maybe eight, maybe

3026
01:47:17,710 --> 01:47:18,170
16.

3027
01:47:18,210 --> 01:47:20,730
My point is it doesn't have to be

3028
01:47:20,730 --> 01:47:21,930
a huge conglomerate.

3029
01:47:22,090 --> 01:47:24,690
You can have a Joann's fabric store in

3030
01:47:24,690 --> 01:47:25,330
Fredericksburg.

3031
01:47:25,790 --> 01:47:27,010
You can have one in Austin.

3032
01:47:27,170 --> 01:47:28,690
You can have one in Berkeley.

3033
01:47:29,530 --> 01:47:31,030
They don't have to be federated.

3034
01:47:31,430 --> 01:47:33,810
It doesn't seem that hard to start a

3035
01:47:33,810 --> 01:47:34,490
fabric store.

3036
01:47:35,030 --> 01:47:37,250
Well, there's fabric stores in these same towns.

3037
01:47:37,250 --> 01:47:39,570
There is a fabric store in Berkeley, but

3038
01:47:39,570 --> 01:47:42,250
the thing is it's not a mega store.

3039
01:47:42,310 --> 01:47:44,250
I mean, Joann's is a big store that

3040
01:47:44,250 --> 01:47:47,070
had all kinds of stuff besides just fabrics.

3041
01:47:47,290 --> 01:47:48,670
Yeah, but maybe we don't need that.

3042
01:47:48,910 --> 01:47:51,030
And of course, I got notes from people

3043
01:47:51,030 --> 01:47:52,370
because we talked about this already.

3044
01:47:52,810 --> 01:47:54,430
Somebody said, well, you know, the fabrics at

3045
01:47:54,430 --> 01:47:55,730
Joann's weren't that good.

3046
01:47:57,230 --> 01:47:59,690
There are better fabric stores here and there.

3047
01:47:59,950 --> 01:48:01,130
So it's not a loss then.

3048
01:48:01,810 --> 01:48:02,470
It's not a loss.

3049
01:48:02,470 --> 01:48:05,090
Well, if you were a Joann customer, it

3050
01:48:05,090 --> 01:48:05,370
is.

3051
01:48:05,850 --> 01:48:07,970
So the final clip from Good Morning America

3052
01:48:07,970 --> 01:48:10,050
is how it affects, how does this affect

3053
01:48:10,050 --> 01:48:10,870
normal people?

3054
01:48:10,930 --> 01:48:12,510
And the reason why we wanted to bring

3055
01:48:12,510 --> 01:48:15,150
you into our little hallway conversation is because

3056
01:48:15,150 --> 01:48:17,310
everybody's always talking recession, recession, recession.

3057
01:48:17,550 --> 01:48:18,570
But what does that mean?

3058
01:48:18,650 --> 01:48:20,650
Like, how does that affect the average person?

3059
01:48:20,970 --> 01:48:23,750
Unfortunately, millions of people can lose their jobs

3060
01:48:23,750 --> 01:48:26,130
in a recession because businesses and consumers, they're

3061
01:48:26,130 --> 01:48:27,310
pulling back on their spending.

3062
01:48:27,430 --> 01:48:29,830
That means companies need to slash budgets, lay

3063
01:48:29,830 --> 01:48:30,450
off workers.

3064
01:48:30,830 --> 01:48:32,490
Some companies, if you have a job, may

3065
01:48:32,490 --> 01:48:33,090
cut pay.

3066
01:48:33,350 --> 01:48:34,610
They can eliminate a bonus.

3067
01:48:34,610 --> 01:48:36,790
It can also be harder to get a

3068
01:48:36,790 --> 01:48:37,830
loan in a recession.

3069
01:48:38,070 --> 01:48:40,710
That's because banks become choosier about who they

3070
01:48:40,710 --> 01:48:42,350
lend money to, even if you have good

3071
01:48:42,350 --> 01:48:42,670
credit.

3072
01:48:43,070 --> 01:48:44,750
And of course, recessions also tend to be

3073
01:48:44,750 --> 01:48:46,210
bad news for the stock market, which means

3074
01:48:46,210 --> 01:48:47,750
your 401k can take a hit.

3075
01:48:48,770 --> 01:48:51,250
This is why we have chosen wisely.

3076
01:48:51,850 --> 01:48:53,090
Recession-proof gig.

3077
01:48:53,750 --> 01:48:54,750
Be a podcaster.

3078
01:49:02,030 --> 01:49:03,170
You've muted yourself.

3079
01:49:07,580 --> 01:49:09,000
I'm not sure that was actually what I

3080
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:09,220
did.

3081
01:49:09,480 --> 01:49:10,960
I don't know how that happened, by the

3082
01:49:10,960 --> 01:49:11,080
way.

3083
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:13,700
It happens whenever you get the spreadsheet.

3084
01:49:18,060 --> 01:49:20,780
When recessions happen, the donations go down.

3085
01:49:21,020 --> 01:49:21,280
Yes.

3086
01:49:21,780 --> 01:49:23,420
So we're not totally recession-proof.

3087
01:49:23,420 --> 01:49:25,360
We just tighten the belt.

3088
01:49:25,700 --> 01:49:27,060
We just tighten the belt.

3089
01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:28,180
What's wrong with everybody else?

3090
01:49:28,300 --> 01:49:29,420
I mean, it's not the worst in the

3091
01:49:29,420 --> 01:49:29,700
world.

3092
01:49:30,820 --> 01:49:33,220
In more than 17 years, have we been

3093
01:49:33,220 --> 01:49:34,080
through a recession?

3094
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:34,700
Yes.

3095
01:49:36,100 --> 01:49:36,380
Yeah.

3096
01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:37,680
Maybe two.

3097
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:40,980
We went through the 2007-2008 thing.

3098
01:49:41,200 --> 01:49:41,560
That's right.

3099
01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:43,480
That was the big boy.

3100
01:49:43,740 --> 01:49:43,840
Yeah.

3101
01:49:44,440 --> 01:49:46,040
That was the best time for us.

3102
01:49:46,120 --> 01:49:47,740
Remember Obama went there and said, I need

3103
01:49:47,740 --> 01:49:48,680
a trillion dollars.

3104
01:49:50,220 --> 01:49:51,420
That was great.

3105
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:54,700
We went through the COVID recession.

3106
01:49:54,940 --> 01:49:56,580
Actually, we benefited from that one.

3107
01:49:56,680 --> 01:49:56,920
Yes.

3108
01:49:57,020 --> 01:49:58,600
Although most of those people now hate us

3109
01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:02,980
because we don't condemn Israel and we don't

3110
01:50:02,980 --> 01:50:03,760
condemn Russia.

3111
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:07,120
The very same people have just...

3112
01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:09,000
This is absolutely true.

3113
01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:11,760
However, with that, I would like to thank

3114
01:50:11,760 --> 01:50:12,980
you for your courage and say in the

3115
01:50:12,980 --> 01:50:14,400
morning to you, the man who put the

3116
01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:16,480
C's in the cross-cutting, say hello to

3117
01:50:16,480 --> 01:50:17,820
my friend on the other end, the one,

3118
01:50:17,880 --> 01:50:19,780
the only, Mr. John C.

3119
01:50:19,980 --> 01:50:20,260
DeMora.

3120
01:50:23,060 --> 01:50:24,520
In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.

3121
01:50:24,600 --> 01:50:25,500
In the morning, I wish you a sleepless

3122
01:50:25,500 --> 01:50:25,660
night.

3123
01:50:25,700 --> 01:50:25,960
God bless you.

3124
01:50:26,060 --> 01:50:26,720
In the afternoon, I wish you a good

3125
01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:26,820
night.

3126
01:50:26,820 --> 01:50:27,040
God bless you.

3127
01:50:27,540 --> 01:50:29,060
In the morning to our trolls in the

3128
01:50:29,060 --> 01:50:29,520
troll room.

3129
01:50:29,580 --> 01:50:30,240
Hold on one second.

3130
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:30,800
Stop moving.

3131
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:31,780
Let me count you for a minute.

3132
01:50:32,580 --> 01:50:32,860
23...

3133
01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:38,320
2,320 trolls are checking us out live

3134
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:39,980
at the moment and I will go to...

3135
01:50:39,980 --> 01:50:40,180
How much?

3136
01:50:40,540 --> 01:50:42,220
2,320.

3137
01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:43,420
So I will go...

3138
01:50:43,540 --> 01:50:46,380
I will go to the tote board and

3139
01:50:46,380 --> 01:50:49,420
yes, that is 200 lower than our last

3140
01:50:49,420 --> 01:50:52,720
Sunday, which was 25.35. It is just,

3141
01:50:52,840 --> 01:50:57,840
just above the 100 show average and in

3142
01:50:57,840 --> 01:51:03,420
general, Sundays have been up 10.4%. So

3143
01:51:03,420 --> 01:51:05,200
for those of you on the prop...

3144
01:51:05,200 --> 01:51:06,960
The story with Queen Ursula probably drove them

3145
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:07,200
away.

3146
01:51:07,300 --> 01:51:09,020
Well, I did give you an out on

3147
01:51:09,020 --> 01:51:10,160
that and we should probably stop.

3148
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:11,640
Well, I was for it.

3149
01:51:11,660 --> 01:51:13,300
I didn't mean that the listeners were.

3150
01:51:13,440 --> 01:51:13,980
Well, no.

3151
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:15,420
We probably shouldn't have done that.

3152
01:51:15,820 --> 01:51:18,040
The trolls are in the troll room, listening

3153
01:51:18,040 --> 01:51:22,600
at trollroom.io or perhaps they are on

3154
01:51:22,600 --> 01:51:24,280
one of those modern podcast apps.

3155
01:51:24,700 --> 01:51:26,760
Someone actually wrote me an email, says, I'm

3156
01:51:26,760 --> 01:51:28,460
always in the car when you're talking about

3157
01:51:28,460 --> 01:51:30,480
where to get those modern podcast apps.

3158
01:51:30,480 --> 01:51:32,160
I can't remember what it is.

3159
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:35,540
Here it comes, podcastapps.com.

3160
01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:37,500
It doesn't seem like a tough one to

3161
01:51:37,500 --> 01:51:37,860
remember.

3162
01:51:39,040 --> 01:51:40,080
Podcastapps.com.

3163
01:51:40,560 --> 01:51:43,100
We are a value for value, which makes

3164
01:51:43,100 --> 01:51:46,440
us not recession proof, but it does make

3165
01:51:46,440 --> 01:51:48,700
us rage quit proof.

3166
01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:51,460
There's always someone who's going to rage quit

3167
01:51:51,460 --> 01:51:52,660
over something we said.

3168
01:51:53,140 --> 01:51:53,780
Yeah, there you go.

3169
01:51:53,820 --> 01:51:55,720
And usually those people didn't donate anyway.

3170
01:51:56,200 --> 01:51:56,460
So...

3171
01:51:56,460 --> 01:51:57,400
No, they never...

3172
01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:01,460
No, the number of people who are supporters,

3173
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:05,780
let's say, producers, supporters, when they complain to

3174
01:52:05,780 --> 01:52:07,840
us about something or other, we pay careful

3175
01:52:07,840 --> 01:52:08,780
attention to that.

3176
01:52:08,980 --> 01:52:09,100
Yes.

3177
01:52:09,100 --> 01:52:11,780
But the drive-bys, they just drive by,

3178
01:52:11,900 --> 01:52:14,440
you know, or somebody told them, somebody in

3179
01:52:14,440 --> 01:52:17,160
their local Democrat party told them, said, here's

3180
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:19,020
the podcast you want to write notes to

3181
01:52:19,020 --> 01:52:21,200
tell them that they're Jew lovers.

3182
01:52:21,420 --> 01:52:23,900
That's not true because the guy who was

3183
01:52:23,900 --> 01:52:25,500
the last, you called him a drive-by,

3184
01:52:25,500 --> 01:52:28,380
he had been listening since 2012.

3185
01:52:29,020 --> 01:52:30,200
And then it was the first time he

3186
01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:34,280
ever donated after we complained about him.

3187
01:52:35,060 --> 01:52:35,280
Yes.

3188
01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:39,180
But just because he said that, and he

3189
01:52:39,180 --> 01:52:40,920
just donated for the first time, doesn't mean

3190
01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:41,300
he...

3191
01:52:41,940 --> 01:52:42,980
I'm skeptical.

3192
01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:44,520
I think he's a listener.

3193
01:52:44,620 --> 01:52:45,920
I think now he's a listener.

3194
01:52:46,260 --> 01:52:48,300
Well, because he's been called out.

3195
01:52:49,140 --> 01:52:52,300
Well, also because once you donate or help

3196
01:52:52,300 --> 01:52:55,440
the show, in any way, even $5 a

3197
01:52:55,440 --> 01:52:59,200
month with a subscription donation or recurring donation

3198
01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:02,400
is what it really is, you are invested.

3199
01:53:02,900 --> 01:53:05,160
Once you're invested, then you'll be more conscientious.

3200
01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:06,660
And we got you on the hook.

3201
01:53:07,140 --> 01:53:08,420
We just have to reel you in.

3202
01:53:08,700 --> 01:53:09,300
It's all good.

3203
01:53:10,700 --> 01:53:12,300
People support us in many ways.

3204
01:53:12,500 --> 01:53:16,400
And emails like our Maple MAGA Canada note,

3205
01:53:16,480 --> 01:53:17,960
I mean, that's a great way to support

3206
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:20,560
the show, to give us something of value

3207
01:53:20,560 --> 01:53:21,180
to talk about.

3208
01:53:21,180 --> 01:53:23,760
We have the best hands-down producers in

3209
01:53:23,760 --> 01:53:26,980
the entire media landscape, in the entire media

3210
01:53:26,980 --> 01:53:27,540
universe.

3211
01:53:28,020 --> 01:53:29,900
There is not a single thing we can't

3212
01:53:29,900 --> 01:53:31,480
talk about or that we can talk about

3213
01:53:31,480 --> 01:53:33,960
that someone out there isn't in that industry.

3214
01:53:34,480 --> 01:53:36,740
It's baffling how often it happens.

3215
01:53:37,880 --> 01:53:39,300
And so you can...

3216
01:53:39,300 --> 01:53:41,640
Yeah, they keep us on the straight and

3217
01:53:41,640 --> 01:53:41,940
narrow.

3218
01:53:42,300 --> 01:53:42,760
That's right.

3219
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,420
I mean, we just got the constitutional lawyer,

3220
01:53:46,740 --> 01:53:48,220
Rob, just putting us straight.

3221
01:53:48,880 --> 01:53:49,520
Yeah, right.

3222
01:53:49,620 --> 01:53:50,560
Or during the show.

3223
01:53:50,560 --> 01:53:51,320
During the show.

3224
01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:52,300
Yeah, during the show.

3225
01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:54,220
And the trolls, of course, they help out

3226
01:53:54,220 --> 01:53:54,520
as well.

3227
01:53:54,600 --> 01:53:55,100
They do that.

3228
01:53:55,500 --> 01:53:55,900
They do?

3229
01:53:56,220 --> 01:53:56,620
Oh, yeah.

3230
01:53:57,080 --> 01:53:57,340
Yeah.

3231
01:53:58,100 --> 01:54:00,880
Well, they also just try to get my

3232
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:01,280
goat.

3233
01:54:04,360 --> 01:54:05,080
But they...

3234
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:06,120
No, often they'll correct.

3235
01:54:06,200 --> 01:54:08,260
Like I said, apophora, it was hypophora.

3236
01:54:08,480 --> 01:54:09,900
You know, it's like little mistakes like that.

3237
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:10,940
It's good to be able to correct that

3238
01:54:10,940 --> 01:54:11,500
in real time.

3239
01:54:11,740 --> 01:54:12,640
And they're just fun.

3240
01:54:12,700 --> 01:54:14,440
And they smell pretty decent.

3241
01:54:15,100 --> 01:54:15,640
No, they don't.

3242
01:54:15,680 --> 01:54:16,160
Yeah, they do.

3243
01:54:16,240 --> 01:54:16,520
They do.

3244
01:54:17,140 --> 01:54:20,720
We have many artists who participate in our

3245
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:23,120
grand bi-weekly contest.

3246
01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:26,300
Who can create the best art for the

3247
01:54:26,300 --> 01:54:28,340
show that we will use in the MP3

3248
01:54:28,340 --> 01:54:31,800
file itself and in the podcast feed.

3249
01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:33,640
And we use it to promote the show

3250
01:54:33,640 --> 01:54:34,160
everywhere.

3251
01:54:34,900 --> 01:54:38,180
Now, this was very interesting because the artwork

3252
01:54:38,180 --> 01:54:41,780
that we chose for episode 1748, we titled

3253
01:54:41,780 --> 01:54:42,760
that Brain Rot.

3254
01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:46,940
I did not notice until it was pointed

3255
01:54:46,940 --> 01:54:49,040
out to me that...

3256
01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:50,620
And it was brilliant, by the way.

3257
01:54:50,680 --> 01:54:57,740
It was the steel porcupine strategy that Ursula

3258
01:54:57,740 --> 01:55:00,900
von der Leyen talked about, that this is

3259
01:55:00,900 --> 01:55:03,400
what they're going to turn Ukraine into, into

3260
01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:04,480
a steel porcupine.

3261
01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:07,460
So, there were many steel porcupine images.

3262
01:55:07,460 --> 01:55:09,860
This one was great because it was a

3263
01:55:09,860 --> 01:55:12,480
really nice picture of a steel porcupine.

3264
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:14,900
It was sitting right in front of kind

3265
01:55:14,900 --> 01:55:17,380
of on the Ukraine flag, which made it...

3266
01:55:17,380 --> 01:55:19,520
That was really the big hit.

3267
01:55:19,580 --> 01:55:22,680
But did you notice that no agenda is

3268
01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:23,840
not spelled no agenda?

3269
01:55:25,060 --> 01:55:26,520
No, I did not notice this.

3270
01:55:26,620 --> 01:55:27,080
How is it spelled?

3271
01:55:27,480 --> 01:55:28,180
It's spelled no agenda.

3272
01:55:29,200 --> 01:55:30,100
There's two Gs.

3273
01:55:30,320 --> 01:55:30,960
No agenda.

3274
01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:32,000
I'm trying to think.

3275
01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:33,840
Oh, you had the AI spell it.

3276
01:55:33,920 --> 01:55:34,320
That's why.

3277
01:55:34,340 --> 01:55:35,180
That's what I think.

3278
01:55:35,780 --> 01:55:38,040
And we didn't even see it.

3279
01:55:38,740 --> 01:55:40,220
This is unbelievable.

3280
01:55:41,680 --> 01:55:42,120
No agenda.

3281
01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:43,320
I'd like to look at it now, but

3282
01:55:43,320 --> 01:55:44,660
there are generators down.

3283
01:55:45,100 --> 01:55:46,260
Oh, you're kidding me.

3284
01:55:46,420 --> 01:55:46,960
Oh, no.

3285
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:48,320
No.

3286
01:55:49,800 --> 01:55:51,100
No, it's not down for me.

3287
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:52,060
It's not for me.

3288
01:55:52,060 --> 01:55:52,540
It's down for me.

3289
01:55:52,660 --> 01:55:53,320
Well, try it again.

3290
01:55:53,800 --> 01:55:54,840
Maybe you misspelled it.

3291
01:55:54,840 --> 01:55:55,960
No, I hit it twice already.

3292
01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:56,800
Yeah, hit it again.

3293
01:55:57,700 --> 01:55:58,660
Hit it one more time.

3294
01:55:58,740 --> 01:55:59,580
You must be missing.

3295
01:55:59,580 --> 01:56:00,260
Okay, let me hit it.

3296
01:56:00,360 --> 01:56:00,860
Let me hit it real hard.

3297
01:56:00,860 --> 01:56:02,780
It came up real fast for me.

3298
01:56:02,780 --> 01:56:05,000
Oh, my head.

3299
01:56:05,340 --> 01:56:06,800
It's coming up fast.

3300
01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:07,200
No, no.

3301
01:56:07,900 --> 01:56:09,180
You're doing something wrong.

3302
01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:12,240
How am I doing anything wrong?

3303
01:56:12,280 --> 01:56:14,580
Well, because, you know, turn off your VPN.

3304
01:56:15,940 --> 01:56:17,200
I'm not on a VPN.

3305
01:56:17,440 --> 01:56:17,760
Okay.

3306
01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:20,600
The second window's open, it's still not coming

3307
01:56:20,600 --> 01:56:20,840
up.

3308
01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:21,840
Well, that's interesting.

3309
01:56:21,840 --> 01:56:24,000
There's got to be a localized situation, something

3310
01:56:24,000 --> 01:56:24,900
to do with my internet.

3311
01:56:25,140 --> 01:56:25,440
Yes.

3312
01:56:25,540 --> 01:56:27,340
Well, it comes up fine for me, and

3313
01:56:27,340 --> 01:56:30,180
I'll just try and remind you of the

3314
01:56:30,180 --> 01:56:32,220
things we looked at, which was pretty much

3315
01:56:32,220 --> 01:56:33,360
all porcupines.

3316
01:56:35,560 --> 01:56:38,740
There was, Darren O'Neill did a chemistry

3317
01:56:38,740 --> 01:56:39,260
set.

3318
01:56:39,660 --> 01:56:41,280
By the way, did you know that chemistry

3319
01:56:41,280 --> 01:56:45,360
sets, they're illegal to be sold in the

3320
01:56:45,360 --> 01:56:46,020
state of Texas?

3321
01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:50,100
Well, that's because the kids in Texas are

3322
01:56:50,100 --> 01:56:50,500
stupid.

3323
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:52,840
No, they're not.

3324
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:54,560
They just make stuff that blows up.

3325
01:56:56,770 --> 01:57:00,070
Why would you ban, this is the legislature

3326
01:57:00,070 --> 01:57:00,610
there.

3327
01:57:00,610 --> 01:57:03,190
These people that run Texas are not up

3328
01:57:03,190 --> 01:57:03,630
to par.

3329
01:57:04,370 --> 01:57:07,170
Well, the people in the Senate, they are

3330
01:57:07,170 --> 01:57:07,710
up to par.

3331
01:57:07,810 --> 01:57:10,530
The people in the House, they're basically Democrats.

3332
01:57:12,590 --> 01:57:14,690
Yeah, and you've got other Democrats from that

3333
01:57:14,690 --> 01:57:17,330
state, like Jasmine Crockett is from Texas.

3334
01:57:17,570 --> 01:57:17,870
Yeah.

3335
01:57:18,030 --> 01:57:19,090
How does that work?

3336
01:57:20,110 --> 01:57:22,310
Not Maxine Waters, but the other one that

3337
01:57:22,310 --> 01:57:23,550
used to be from Texas.

3338
01:57:23,990 --> 01:57:24,550
Listen to this.

3339
01:57:24,550 --> 01:57:26,890
In Texas, and only in Texas, it is

3340
01:57:26,890 --> 01:57:29,810
illegal to own any chemistry equipment without an

3341
01:57:29,810 --> 01:57:31,690
explicit license from the state.

3342
01:57:32,490 --> 01:57:36,750
I can't even have a titration device or

3343
01:57:36,750 --> 01:57:38,450
a pipette?

3344
01:57:39,310 --> 01:57:41,050
A test tube?

3345
01:57:41,370 --> 01:57:42,490
Is it pipette or pipette?

3346
01:57:42,830 --> 01:57:43,730
Erlenmeyer flask?

3347
01:57:44,250 --> 01:57:45,630
No, stop with your flask.

3348
01:57:46,150 --> 01:57:47,990
In order to apply for a license, you

3349
01:57:47,990 --> 01:57:50,910
must present a legitimate business reason for the

3350
01:57:50,910 --> 01:57:52,250
ownership of the equipment.

3351
01:57:56,230 --> 01:57:59,110
So, podcaster would probably not be a legitimate

3352
01:57:59,110 --> 01:58:02,390
business interest for a pipette, I'm thinking.

3353
01:58:04,370 --> 01:58:07,170
Correct a record, had a steel porcupine, a

3354
01:58:07,170 --> 01:58:08,070
blue acorn.

3355
01:58:09,110 --> 01:58:10,990
Darren O'Neill, of course, tried it.

3356
01:58:11,170 --> 01:58:12,670
I mean, that was AI stuff.

3357
01:58:14,010 --> 01:58:15,250
Was there anything else?

3358
01:58:16,450 --> 01:58:18,650
You used the big, beautiful battleship, so I

3359
01:58:18,650 --> 01:58:20,590
believe a blue acorn for the newsletter I

3360
01:58:20,590 --> 01:58:21,670
saw, which was nice.

3361
01:58:21,670 --> 01:58:22,030
Yes, I did.

3362
01:58:22,030 --> 01:58:23,750
That's nice for a newsletter.

3363
01:58:24,630 --> 01:58:27,310
It's kind of hard for the album art,

3364
01:58:27,410 --> 01:58:28,870
because it's typically not very large.

3365
01:58:28,890 --> 01:58:29,410
Yeah, it's too small.

3366
01:58:29,570 --> 01:58:31,350
Yeah, on the podcast apps.

3367
01:58:32,290 --> 01:58:36,070
So, we'd love to know, Data, who did...

3368
01:58:36,930 --> 01:58:37,810
Oh, you know what?

3369
01:58:38,870 --> 01:58:41,990
We missed it, but Data posted a fixed

3370
01:58:41,990 --> 01:58:48,870
version of the steel porcupine, correctly spelled, later

3371
01:58:48,870 --> 01:58:49,270
on.

3372
01:58:49,910 --> 01:58:51,130
Oh, but we missed it.

3373
01:58:51,130 --> 01:58:52,170
He posted it today.

3374
01:58:52,170 --> 01:58:53,210
He posted it today.

3375
01:58:53,290 --> 01:58:54,170
Oh, so good.

3376
01:58:55,650 --> 01:58:56,570
Thanks for nothing.

3377
01:58:56,750 --> 01:58:57,630
So, but there you go.

3378
01:58:57,710 --> 01:58:59,730
That just shows you, not only is AI

3379
01:58:59,730 --> 01:59:02,630
stupid, but we're even stupider than AI, because

3380
01:59:02,630 --> 01:59:03,470
we didn't catch it.

3381
01:59:03,530 --> 01:59:05,630
We were so enthralled by the porcupine and

3382
01:59:05,630 --> 01:59:08,190
the flag that we just...

3383
01:59:08,190 --> 01:59:09,610
Yeah, I think the porcupine also had bullets

3384
01:59:09,610 --> 01:59:10,670
for hands or something.

3385
01:59:10,670 --> 01:59:11,850
Yeah, no, it's a beautiful piece.

3386
01:59:11,850 --> 01:59:12,870
There's a lot of stuff going on.

3387
01:59:12,890 --> 01:59:13,530
It's a beautiful piece.

3388
01:59:13,930 --> 01:59:15,350
So, thank you very much, Data.

3389
01:59:15,350 --> 01:59:19,190
I did also get a note from our

3390
01:59:19,190 --> 01:59:21,810
Triple J, who had the artwork before that.

3391
01:59:21,970 --> 01:59:25,750
That was the flying Volkswagen, the VW Boomer.

3392
01:59:27,130 --> 01:59:31,810
So, it was T-I-1-P-P

3393
01:59:31,810 --> 01:59:33,050
-L-E-J.

3394
01:59:33,830 --> 01:59:34,710
Hi, Adam and John.

3395
01:59:34,750 --> 01:59:36,630
We are thrilled our VW Boomer piece was

3396
01:59:36,630 --> 01:59:38,450
selected for show 1747.

3397
01:59:38,450 --> 01:59:40,830
Our artist name is supposed to be Triple

3398
01:59:40,830 --> 01:59:44,310
J-T-R exclamation point P-L-E

3399
01:59:44,310 --> 01:59:47,190
-J, but I clearly didn't check the typing

3400
01:59:47,190 --> 01:59:48,330
before clicking submit.

3401
01:59:48,490 --> 01:59:50,270
We chose the name because there are three

3402
01:59:50,270 --> 01:59:53,250
of us, my girlfriend, myself, and our dog.

3403
01:59:53,670 --> 01:59:55,610
And we all have names that start with

3404
01:59:55,610 --> 01:59:56,230
the letter J.

3405
01:59:56,390 --> 01:59:59,330
Listening since 2021, I hit my girlfriend, parents,

3406
01:59:59,390 --> 02:00:00,050
and neighbor in the mouth.

3407
02:00:00,130 --> 02:00:01,830
We're excited to return the value of the

3408
02:00:01,830 --> 02:00:03,610
show in the form of our towns, maybe

3409
02:00:03,610 --> 02:00:05,390
even some treasure before long.

3410
02:00:05,990 --> 02:00:07,710
Thanks for keeping us sane with the show.

3411
02:00:07,710 --> 02:00:08,870
Regards from Maine.

3412
02:00:09,270 --> 02:00:10,430
Maine, oh, man.

3413
02:00:11,230 --> 02:00:12,970
Having anyone from Maine is a win.

3414
02:00:13,930 --> 02:00:14,510
Triple J.

3415
02:00:14,770 --> 02:00:15,210
Triple J.

3416
02:00:15,290 --> 02:00:16,150
Thank you very much, Triple J.

3417
02:00:16,190 --> 02:00:18,270
So, the art generator came up when I

3418
02:00:18,270 --> 02:00:22,710
used the Microsoft browser, but it won't come

3419
02:00:22,710 --> 02:00:23,650
up with Firefox.

3420
02:00:24,750 --> 02:00:25,450
Oh, Firefox.

3421
02:00:25,650 --> 02:00:29,530
You know, Firefox, they've gone all woke now.

3422
02:00:30,690 --> 02:00:32,010
Oh, they've been woke for a long time.

3423
02:00:32,070 --> 02:00:33,690
That's why that guy quit and went to

3424
02:00:33,690 --> 02:00:34,390
start Bravo.

3425
02:00:34,670 --> 02:00:36,290
Yeah, but they— Or Brave.

3426
02:00:36,290 --> 02:00:37,010
Bravo.

3427
02:00:37,050 --> 02:00:38,950
It's the Bravo browser, everybody.

3428
02:00:40,890 --> 02:00:41,730
I always say that.

3429
02:00:42,430 --> 02:00:46,430
I haven't used Firefox in years, and I

3430
02:00:46,430 --> 02:00:48,950
have a suspicion that they're blocking stuff.

3431
02:00:49,530 --> 02:00:53,230
I know that there's forks of Firefox, and

3432
02:00:53,230 --> 02:00:54,810
they're even woker than Firefox.

3433
02:00:56,970 --> 02:00:58,790
Well, it's like Mastodon's so woke.

3434
02:00:59,370 --> 02:01:02,290
Well, only mastodon.com.

3435
02:01:03,390 --> 02:01:04,070
No, all of them.

3436
02:01:04,070 --> 02:01:07,550
Mastodon.social. There's a lot of—I would say

3437
02:01:07,550 --> 02:01:12,410
90% of the Mastodon instances are woke,

3438
02:01:12,550 --> 02:01:13,290
super woke.

3439
02:01:13,350 --> 02:01:15,590
Not as bad as BlueSky, which took over

3440
02:01:15,590 --> 02:01:17,470
the woke contingent.

3441
02:01:17,490 --> 02:01:19,590
Let's check in BlueSky and let's see if

3442
02:01:19,590 --> 02:01:20,730
anyone's yelling at me.

3443
02:01:21,370 --> 02:01:24,290
I check BlueSky maybe one time a month.

3444
02:01:24,450 --> 02:01:25,970
Oh, I have 22 notifications.

3445
02:01:26,850 --> 02:01:27,590
Let's see.

3446
02:01:31,490 --> 02:01:32,610
22 notifications.

3447
02:01:33,110 --> 02:01:36,670
The same exact effing people who say, this

3448
02:01:36,670 --> 02:01:38,570
guy was a guest in America, get him

3449
02:01:38,570 --> 02:01:40,170
the F out, are the people in any

3450
02:01:40,170 --> 02:01:42,270
other country who scream, I'm an American, why

3451
02:01:42,270 --> 02:01:43,030
are you arresting me?

3452
02:01:43,090 --> 02:01:43,770
I demand it.

3453
02:01:44,030 --> 02:01:45,610
No, this is the same guy.

3454
02:01:46,190 --> 02:01:48,370
There's one guy who posts 22 times.

3455
02:01:48,810 --> 02:01:48,950
Okay.

3456
02:01:49,430 --> 02:01:49,990
All right, goodbye.

3457
02:01:50,250 --> 02:01:51,090
He doesn't like you.

3458
02:01:51,330 --> 02:01:51,970
No, no.

3459
02:01:52,050 --> 02:01:52,650
It's BlueSky.

3460
02:01:52,890 --> 02:01:53,670
Nobody likes me.

3461
02:01:53,790 --> 02:01:54,930
Nobody likes me over there.

3462
02:01:55,470 --> 02:01:56,990
Nobody likes anybody over there.

3463
02:01:57,010 --> 02:01:58,190
They're just a bunch of haters.

3464
02:01:58,370 --> 02:01:58,990
Yeah, they are.

3465
02:01:59,530 --> 02:02:01,110
So, again, thank you very much, Data.

3466
02:02:01,170 --> 02:02:02,070
We appreciate that.

3467
02:02:02,070 --> 02:02:03,370
Now we want to thank the people who

3468
02:02:03,370 --> 02:02:05,750
gave us the treasure of the three T's.

3469
02:02:05,910 --> 02:02:08,410
You got Triple J, Triple T, Time, Talent,

3470
02:02:08,590 --> 02:02:08,970
and Treasure.

3471
02:02:09,350 --> 02:02:11,070
Artists, thank you all so much.

3472
02:02:11,910 --> 02:02:12,850
NoahJennerArtGenerator.com.

3473
02:02:12,950 --> 02:02:15,430
Don't use Firefox if you want to upload,

3474
02:02:15,870 --> 02:02:17,890
but you can use the Microsoft product or

3475
02:02:17,890 --> 02:02:18,250
Bravo.

3476
02:02:18,490 --> 02:02:20,130
Both seem to work perfectly fine.

3477
02:02:20,710 --> 02:02:21,190
Bravo.

3478
02:02:22,110 --> 02:02:22,590
Bravo.

3479
02:02:22,930 --> 02:02:23,190
Bravo.

3480
02:02:24,550 --> 02:02:27,910
So we thank everybody who sends us financial

3481
02:02:27,910 --> 02:02:30,230
support, $50 and above, and we give you

3482
02:02:30,230 --> 02:02:30,770
all the numbers.

3483
02:02:30,770 --> 02:02:33,730
We tell you exactly what they've done so

3484
02:02:33,730 --> 02:02:34,970
you can play along at home.

3485
02:02:35,910 --> 02:02:39,870
And we have an extra special incentive for

3486
02:02:39,870 --> 02:02:42,110
people who support us with $200 or more.

3487
02:02:42,510 --> 02:02:44,990
You get an official Hollywood credit.

3488
02:02:45,230 --> 02:02:46,950
You can tell they're official because you can

3489
02:02:46,950 --> 02:02:49,930
go on imdb.com and list yourself there.

3490
02:02:50,010 --> 02:02:51,890
You can see that there's over a thousand

3491
02:02:51,890 --> 02:02:55,650
people who have NoahJennerAssociateExecutiveProducer credits there.

3492
02:02:55,710 --> 02:02:58,370
$200 and above will get you that credit,

3493
02:02:58,490 --> 02:02:59,530
which is good for a lifetime.

3494
02:02:59,530 --> 02:03:01,690
And we also will read your note.

3495
02:03:02,190 --> 02:03:04,990
$300 and above, you get the coveted executive

3496
02:03:04,990 --> 02:03:07,210
producership, and we will read your note.

3497
02:03:07,310 --> 02:03:09,370
And we kick it off with Ty Ryan

3498
02:03:09,370 --> 02:03:12,190
Everett from Port Angeles, Washington.

3499
02:03:13,010 --> 02:03:15,730
Speaking of woke, isn't Port Angeles super woke?

3500
02:03:18,230 --> 02:03:21,050
This is Sir Tim from Squim.

3501
02:03:21,370 --> 02:03:22,930
He is the guy who's going to be

3502
02:03:22,930 --> 02:03:26,830
running the boards and taking part in the

3503
02:03:26,830 --> 02:03:28,430
Pod Angeles studios.

3504
02:03:28,430 --> 02:03:29,550
Oh, it's right.

3505
02:03:29,650 --> 02:03:29,910
I see.

3506
02:03:30,010 --> 02:03:32,130
So he came in with $1,200, and

3507
02:03:32,130 --> 02:03:32,930
here's his note.

3508
02:03:33,130 --> 02:03:33,470
Hello, John.

3509
02:03:33,570 --> 02:03:35,550
Two separate donations of seven and five.

3510
02:03:36,070 --> 02:03:37,370
My name is T.

3511
02:03:37,570 --> 02:03:38,370
Ryan Everett.

3512
02:03:38,530 --> 02:03:40,630
I am the studio manager of the new

3513
02:03:40,630 --> 02:03:44,230
Pod Angeles podcast studio in Port Angeles, Washington.

3514
02:03:45,590 --> 02:03:46,450
All right.

3515
02:03:47,230 --> 02:03:49,090
I'm also an avid Noah Jenner listener.

3516
02:03:49,210 --> 02:03:50,810
I have been so since 2014.

3517
02:03:51,230 --> 02:03:52,930
I heard through the grapevine about a podcast

3518
02:03:52,930 --> 02:03:54,290
that might just interest me.

3519
02:03:54,410 --> 02:03:55,170
So I did.

3520
02:03:55,270 --> 02:03:57,250
I listened, and I didn't stop.

3521
02:03:57,250 --> 02:04:00,010
My brother, Eric, with a C, who also

3522
02:04:00,010 --> 02:04:02,670
listens, knew I was a douchebag and donated

3523
02:04:02,670 --> 02:04:05,430
$300 to make me an executive producer of

3524
02:04:05,430 --> 02:04:08,430
show 1457 and to de-douche me.

3525
02:04:09,230 --> 02:04:11,270
My father passed away recently and left me

3526
02:04:11,270 --> 02:04:13,590
some treasure that he wanted to share with

3527
02:04:13,590 --> 02:04:13,990
you.

3528
02:04:14,870 --> 02:04:15,950
Do you think that was in his will?

3529
02:04:17,730 --> 02:04:18,170
Maybe.

3530
02:04:18,550 --> 02:04:19,930
Well, that's excellent.

3531
02:04:19,930 --> 02:04:20,970
We need more of that.

3532
02:04:21,190 --> 02:04:23,070
Well, he says he wanted me to share.

3533
02:04:23,070 --> 02:04:25,910
He left me some treasure that he wanted

3534
02:04:25,910 --> 02:04:27,830
to share with you, the best podcast in

3535
02:04:27,830 --> 02:04:28,210
the universe.

3536
02:04:28,710 --> 02:04:30,730
The enclosed $700 is to bring me up

3537
02:04:30,730 --> 02:04:31,890
to full knight status.

3538
02:04:32,230 --> 02:04:34,390
The other $500 is to become a commodore,

3539
02:04:34,450 --> 02:04:35,550
as I would like to be T.

3540
02:04:35,730 --> 02:04:38,050
Ryan Everett, commodore to the port of the

3541
02:04:38,050 --> 02:04:38,410
angels.

3542
02:04:38,830 --> 02:04:40,430
I would also like to be knighted as

3543
02:04:40,430 --> 02:04:42,990
Sir Tim from Squim, and I would like

3544
02:04:42,990 --> 02:04:46,010
Korean barbecue and Red Dragon at the roundtable.

3545
02:04:46,810 --> 02:04:47,990
And he goes on to say, I recently

3546
02:04:47,990 --> 02:04:50,070
watched a documentary about heroes and why they

3547
02:04:50,070 --> 02:04:52,170
jump into action while others just watch.

3548
02:04:52,170 --> 02:04:54,630
They found that heroes have a larger amygdala

3549
02:04:54,630 --> 02:04:56,570
than those that just watch them.

3550
02:04:56,950 --> 02:04:58,650
Hmm, interesting.

3551
02:04:59,830 --> 02:05:01,910
There's also one other thing that goes along

3552
02:05:01,910 --> 02:05:02,630
with this donation.

3553
02:05:02,730 --> 02:05:04,230
I feel it's time, and I believe Mimi

3554
02:05:04,230 --> 02:05:06,970
agrees, that the Podangelist studio is ready for

3555
02:05:06,970 --> 02:05:07,550
business.

3556
02:05:07,990 --> 02:05:09,930
I'm excited and willing to learn from the

3557
02:05:09,930 --> 02:05:12,110
Podfather and the Tech Grouch as they truly

3558
02:05:12,110 --> 02:05:14,470
have the best podcast in the universe.

3559
02:05:14,750 --> 02:05:16,670
And it also gives me the opportunity to

3560
02:05:16,670 --> 02:05:19,570
steal and save Adam's settings on the Rodecaster

3561
02:05:19,570 --> 02:05:20,290
Pro 2.

3562
02:05:20,290 --> 02:05:21,750
Oh, really now?

3563
02:05:21,990 --> 02:05:24,610
You think $1,200 is going to get

3564
02:05:24,610 --> 02:05:25,410
my settings?

3565
02:05:25,730 --> 02:05:26,010
Hmm.

3566
02:05:27,510 --> 02:05:28,990
You can get his settings for free.

3567
02:05:30,350 --> 02:05:34,010
I want a piece of that Podangelist studio

3568
02:05:34,010 --> 02:05:34,410
deal.

3569
02:05:35,330 --> 02:05:36,850
You should give me some shares in that.

3570
02:05:37,570 --> 02:05:39,870
I also must disagree with four more years

3571
02:05:39,870 --> 02:05:42,890
because I believe perfection has no time limit.

3572
02:05:43,290 --> 02:05:44,710
You owe it to your producers and your

3573
02:05:44,710 --> 02:05:46,050
fans around the world.

3574
02:05:46,050 --> 02:05:47,010
Humbly, T.

3575
02:05:47,110 --> 02:05:49,870
Ryan Everett, Sir Tim from Squim, Commodore of

3576
02:05:49,870 --> 02:05:50,870
the Port of Angels.

3577
02:05:51,010 --> 02:05:53,170
All right, I will have your Korean barbecue

3578
02:05:53,170 --> 02:05:55,290
lined up, and I already ordered the Red

3579
02:05:55,290 --> 02:05:55,650
Dragon.

3580
02:05:55,770 --> 02:05:58,010
And thank you very much, soon-to-be

3581
02:05:58,010 --> 02:05:59,110
Sir Tim from Squim.

3582
02:06:01,110 --> 02:06:03,530
There's a funny story about Sir Tim.

3583
02:06:03,930 --> 02:06:05,850
He's talking to Mimi, and he says, you

3584
02:06:05,850 --> 02:06:08,770
think Adam's going to come up and visit

3585
02:06:08,770 --> 02:06:09,370
the studios?

3586
02:06:11,210 --> 02:06:12,750
That was Mimi's reaction.

3587
02:06:13,210 --> 02:06:14,410
That is pretty funny.

3588
02:06:14,410 --> 02:06:17,310
Why would I do that?

3589
02:06:17,390 --> 02:06:18,310
Give me a piece of that outfit.

3590
02:06:18,310 --> 02:06:19,230
That's what I said, too.

3591
02:06:19,450 --> 02:06:21,130
That was my reaction, the second one.

3592
02:06:21,150 --> 02:06:22,990
Yeah, you should give me, like, 5%

3593
02:06:22,990 --> 02:06:23,910
founder shares.

3594
02:06:24,350 --> 02:06:25,270
I might consider coming up.

3595
02:06:25,270 --> 02:06:26,110
You'll get some action.

3596
02:06:26,410 --> 02:06:28,090
Yeah, I want some back end.

3597
02:06:29,050 --> 02:06:30,770
Harry Seward, or Sea War.

3598
02:06:30,770 --> 02:06:32,070
Make me whole on this deal.

3599
02:06:33,230 --> 02:06:34,110
Yeah, yeah.

3600
02:06:35,670 --> 02:06:38,630
Woodstock, Georgia, 103342.

3601
02:06:38,950 --> 02:06:39,450
That's good.

3602
02:06:40,370 --> 02:06:40,690
Very nice.

3603
02:06:40,690 --> 02:06:43,210
I'm coming to you from FEMA Region 4

3604
02:06:43,210 --> 02:06:45,150
with hat in hand.

3605
02:06:45,310 --> 02:06:45,710
Uh-oh.

3606
02:06:45,830 --> 02:06:48,350
And asking forgiveness for 4.5 years of

3607
02:06:48,350 --> 02:06:48,690
douchebaggery.

3608
02:06:49,390 --> 02:06:51,230
I first discovered The Greatest Podcast in the

3609
02:06:51,230 --> 02:06:54,810
Universe in the 2020 election.

3610
02:06:56,950 --> 02:06:59,210
I finally made the long overdue donation to

3611
02:06:59,210 --> 02:07:02,830
the show in the amount of 103342, and

3612
02:07:02,830 --> 02:07:06,130
we'll be starting a sustaining donation each month,

3613
02:07:06,170 --> 02:07:07,150
which is a good idea.

3614
02:07:07,210 --> 02:07:07,730
Very good idea.

3615
02:07:07,730 --> 02:07:09,470
We've lost a lot of our sustaining donors.

3616
02:07:09,730 --> 02:07:09,830
Yep.

3617
02:07:11,090 --> 02:07:12,830
If it would suit the peerage committee, I'd

3618
02:07:12,830 --> 02:07:17,450
like to be instantiated as Sir Harry Seaward

3619
02:07:17,450 --> 02:07:20,030
of FEMA Region 4.

3620
02:07:20,150 --> 02:07:21,790
I would need a de-douching.

3621
02:07:23,410 --> 02:07:25,150
You've been de-douched.

3622
02:07:25,150 --> 02:07:27,750
Now, is that Seaward or Seaward?

3623
02:07:27,910 --> 02:07:28,710
That's the question.

3624
02:07:29,550 --> 02:07:31,070
Seaward, I think it's Seaward.

3625
02:07:31,430 --> 02:07:32,190
Oh, Seaward.

3626
02:07:32,190 --> 02:07:32,870
I think it's like Seaward.

3627
02:07:32,910 --> 02:07:33,730
Seaward, okay.

3628
02:07:34,150 --> 02:07:34,650
Seaward.

3629
02:07:35,470 --> 02:07:36,970
Not just a Seaward, okay.

3630
02:07:36,970 --> 02:07:39,850
It's W-A-R-D, Ward.

3631
02:07:40,490 --> 02:07:43,010
A note to fellow listeners, if I had

3632
02:07:43,010 --> 02:07:46,730
made a recurring donation of less than $2

3633
02:07:46,730 --> 02:07:50,370
.25 per show— That's $2.25. $2.25

3634
02:07:50,370 --> 02:07:52,450
a show, since I started listening, I would

3635
02:07:52,450 --> 02:07:54,950
have been knighted a while ago and could

3636
02:07:54,950 --> 02:07:58,230
have avoided a 4.5 years of bowel

3637
02:07:58,230 --> 02:07:59,470
-shaking guilt.

3638
02:08:02,170 --> 02:08:03,830
Don't be a Harry Seaward.

3639
02:08:03,830 --> 02:08:07,190
I would also like to request emergency health

3640
02:08:07,190 --> 02:08:07,930
and jobs karma.

3641
02:08:08,030 --> 02:08:08,550
We can do that.

3642
02:08:08,810 --> 02:08:11,670
The health karma is for my mother, possibly

3643
02:08:11,670 --> 02:08:13,930
the sweetest and most generous woman who has

3644
02:08:13,930 --> 02:08:14,950
ever graced the earth.

3645
02:08:15,070 --> 02:08:19,130
She's 81 and very healthy, but was recently

3646
02:08:19,130 --> 02:08:28,710
diagnosed with a cell carcinoma encasing her carotid

3647
02:08:28,710 --> 02:08:32,630
artery that is wreaking havoc on her body.

3648
02:08:32,630 --> 02:08:35,640
It's causing her to pass out unexpectedly.

3649
02:08:36,530 --> 02:08:36,910
Oh, wow.

3650
02:08:36,910 --> 02:08:37,330
That's no good.

3651
02:08:38,890 --> 02:08:39,830
Going to AFib.

3652
02:08:40,250 --> 02:08:42,770
Going to AFib, and she's currently only able

3653
02:08:42,770 --> 02:08:47,350
to get pureed foods and drink thick liquids.

3654
02:08:47,610 --> 02:08:50,490
This jobs karma is for me, as I

3655
02:08:50,490 --> 02:08:52,290
need to find a new role that will

3656
02:08:52,290 --> 02:08:54,390
allow me to spend more time with her

3657
02:08:54,390 --> 02:08:55,890
and help care for her.

3658
02:08:56,470 --> 02:08:59,550
As a dude named Ben named Harry, another

3659
02:08:59,550 --> 02:09:02,090
dude named Ben, with nearly 30 years of

3660
02:09:02,090 --> 02:09:04,730
IT experience, I have a few good leads,

3661
02:09:04,890 --> 02:09:07,430
and I am confident that some karma from

3662
02:09:07,430 --> 02:09:09,570
the no agenda nation can push me over

3663
02:09:09,570 --> 02:09:09,990
the top.

3664
02:09:10,150 --> 02:09:12,490
Jingle requests are eating the dogs and due

3665
02:09:12,490 --> 02:09:13,450
to climate change.

3666
02:09:13,510 --> 02:09:15,790
Yes, and for you and for your mom,

3667
02:09:15,910 --> 02:09:18,270
I will add in some white Christian nationalist

3668
02:09:18,270 --> 02:09:18,910
prayer.

3669
02:09:19,110 --> 02:09:20,410
They're eating the dogs.

3670
02:09:20,570 --> 02:09:21,630
Due to climate change.

3671
02:09:22,170 --> 02:09:25,070
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

3672
02:09:25,270 --> 02:09:26,430
Let's vote for jobs.

3673
02:09:27,370 --> 02:09:28,290
You've got karma.

3674
02:09:30,210 --> 02:09:32,410
That brings us to our next executive producer,

3675
02:09:32,550 --> 02:09:33,390
John Fehlman.

3676
02:09:33,830 --> 02:09:34,270
Fehlman.

3677
02:09:34,410 --> 02:09:35,910
F-E-H-L-M-A-N.

3678
02:09:36,010 --> 02:09:36,350
Fehlman.

3679
02:09:36,430 --> 02:09:36,790
Fehlman.

3680
02:09:37,150 --> 02:09:37,890
Hello, Fehlman.

3681
02:09:38,530 --> 02:09:40,070
Thank you all for the amazing work that

3682
02:09:40,070 --> 02:09:40,650
you both do.

3683
02:09:40,770 --> 02:09:42,590
This is my second time donating, but the

3684
02:09:42,590 --> 02:09:44,290
value I've received through listening to you both

3685
02:09:44,290 --> 02:09:46,210
has been much more valuable than what I've

3686
02:09:46,210 --> 02:09:47,630
been able to contribute so far.

3687
02:09:47,830 --> 02:09:49,170
A lot of people say that, but we

3688
02:09:49,170 --> 02:09:49,670
understand.

3689
02:09:50,430 --> 02:09:52,470
You both were instrumental in helping my family

3690
02:09:52,470 --> 02:09:54,750
and I remain sane during the lunacy of

3691
02:09:54,750 --> 02:09:57,130
the COVID years, like we're not in lunacy

3692
02:09:57,130 --> 02:09:57,530
now.

3693
02:09:58,030 --> 02:09:59,930
We knew there was something off with the

3694
02:09:59,930 --> 02:10:02,050
messaging machine of the M5M, and y'all

3695
02:10:02,050 --> 02:10:04,090
were vital in showing us it was nonsense

3696
02:10:04,090 --> 02:10:07,030
because you both kept the receipts.

3697
02:10:07,710 --> 02:10:10,550
This donation brings me to knighthood, so please

3698
02:10:10,550 --> 02:10:12,670
knight me, Sir John of the North State.

3699
02:10:13,110 --> 02:10:17,550
I request Lagunitas Hi-Fi Cannabis drinks.

3700
02:10:18,150 --> 02:10:19,570
I've never heard of this.

3701
02:10:20,630 --> 02:10:21,370
Is that what it is?

3702
02:10:21,570 --> 02:10:22,050
Lagunitas?

3703
02:10:22,550 --> 02:10:24,330
Hold on, I just lost my, yeah.

3704
02:10:24,330 --> 02:10:27,650
Lagunitas Hi-Fi Cannabis drinks and a Harris

3705
02:10:27,650 --> 02:10:29,550
Ranch ribeye at the round table.

3706
02:10:29,990 --> 02:10:33,510
Could you please play the Noodle Boy jingle

3707
02:10:33,910 --> 02:10:36,770
as well as Dvorak.org.na, which is

3708
02:10:36,770 --> 02:10:37,710
my son's favorite.

3709
02:10:38,070 --> 02:10:38,810
Happy to do it.

3710
02:10:38,890 --> 02:10:39,750
Don't go to the website.

3711
02:10:40,170 --> 02:10:41,550
Thank you again for all that you do,

3712
02:10:41,650 --> 02:10:43,070
and four more years.

3713
02:10:43,270 --> 02:10:45,570
I'm gonna shoot you in the face with

3714
02:10:45,570 --> 02:10:49,630
my noodle gun, you racist pizza shears.

3715
02:10:51,910 --> 02:10:55,690
I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.

3716
02:10:56,990 --> 02:11:01,950
Dvorak.org.na. All right.

3717
02:11:02,670 --> 02:11:04,250
Now I got another note, but before I

3718
02:11:04,250 --> 02:11:06,790
read this one, I want to mention, I

3719
02:11:06,790 --> 02:11:09,270
want to thank Robert Majors for sending me

3720
02:11:09,270 --> 02:11:13,610
a big, giant triple bags of Hawkins, which

3721
02:11:13,610 --> 02:11:18,130
are also called Cheezys from Canada through Amazon.

3722
02:11:20,130 --> 02:11:22,470
It's like a Cheetos.

3723
02:11:22,590 --> 02:11:25,730
It's like that extruded cheese thing that we

3724
02:11:25,730 --> 02:11:27,710
make in this country, only it's made with

3725
02:11:27,710 --> 02:11:28,410
real cheddar.

3726
02:11:28,830 --> 02:11:29,610
You mean like Cheetos?

3727
02:11:30,510 --> 02:11:31,350
Cheetos, yeah.

3728
02:11:32,710 --> 02:11:35,390
Only the substrate, I don't believe, is as

3729
02:11:35,390 --> 02:11:36,590
good as the product that we get.

3730
02:11:36,710 --> 02:11:38,730
I love the term substrate.

3731
02:11:39,150 --> 02:11:41,190
I think that should be used more often.

3732
02:11:41,490 --> 02:11:43,950
Do people even know what substrate is anymore?

3733
02:11:44,590 --> 02:11:46,130
It's the underlying architecture.

3734
02:11:46,610 --> 02:11:47,670
Yes, substrate.

3735
02:11:48,590 --> 02:11:49,410
Fantastic word.

3736
02:11:49,510 --> 02:11:50,170
Word of the day.

3737
02:11:51,710 --> 02:11:53,550
So these Hawkins, I guess they don't advertise.

3738
02:11:53,690 --> 02:11:55,370
I've been to Canada a lot, and I've

3739
02:11:55,370 --> 02:11:57,050
never seen this product.

3740
02:11:57,070 --> 02:11:58,430
When's the last time you were in Canada?

3741
02:11:59,070 --> 02:12:00,950
Well, it was years ago, but besides the

3742
02:12:00,950 --> 02:12:02,710
point, these Hawkins have been around forever.

3743
02:12:02,930 --> 02:12:04,370
I hear things have changed.

3744
02:12:05,310 --> 02:12:06,090
I don't know.

3745
02:12:06,210 --> 02:12:06,870
I doubt it.

3746
02:12:07,510 --> 02:12:10,030
But this donation comes in from Sir Anonymous,

3747
02:12:10,370 --> 02:12:12,930
and he sent a piece of paper in

3748
02:12:12,930 --> 02:12:16,110
with a check, and his letterhead says crackpot

3749
02:12:16,110 --> 02:12:16,990
and buzzkill on it.

3750
02:12:17,070 --> 02:12:18,470
Oh, that's his letterhead?

3751
02:12:18,570 --> 02:12:19,210
That's interesting.

3752
02:12:20,130 --> 02:12:22,330
He's a donor who's been around for a

3753
02:12:22,330 --> 02:12:22,510
while.

3754
02:12:22,750 --> 02:12:22,990
A donor.

3755
02:12:23,070 --> 02:12:25,050
For the show, he's got a long note,

3756
02:12:25,130 --> 02:12:26,330
but he only wants this to be read.

3757
02:12:26,430 --> 02:12:28,450
For the show, thank you for your courage

3758
02:12:28,450 --> 02:12:30,730
and your continued deconstruction.

3759
02:12:30,890 --> 02:12:33,150
It's been too long since my last donation.

3760
02:12:33,750 --> 02:12:35,350
I'm sorry, my last tithing.

3761
02:12:35,910 --> 02:12:37,050
Please de-douche me.

3762
02:12:39,070 --> 02:12:40,750
You've been de-douched.

3763
02:12:41,790 --> 02:12:43,150
No jingles, no karma.

3764
02:12:43,150 --> 02:12:45,670
This is Sir Anonymous, the Viscount of the

3765
02:12:45,670 --> 02:12:49,350
ADFC and the Arapahoe County.

3766
02:12:50,710 --> 02:12:52,470
Sir Anonymous, not Sir Anonymous.

3767
02:12:52,690 --> 02:12:54,390
Sir Anonymous, not Anonymous.

3768
02:12:54,730 --> 02:12:54,970
Anonymous, yes.

3769
02:12:55,550 --> 02:12:56,410
All right, thank you.

3770
02:12:57,330 --> 02:13:00,070
We move on to 333.33, one of

3771
02:13:00,070 --> 02:13:02,210
our favorite donation amounts from Sir Jeff in

3772
02:13:02,210 --> 02:13:05,190
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and he just says, ITM, Sir

3773
02:13:05,190 --> 02:13:08,850
Jeff, Baron of PA Route 33, and thank

3774
02:13:08,850 --> 02:13:10,850
you for your support and the short note.

3775
02:13:10,850 --> 02:13:12,850
That is...

3776
02:13:14,790 --> 02:13:16,690
Onward to Sir Mark.

3777
02:13:16,910 --> 02:13:17,170
Yeah.

3778
02:13:17,270 --> 02:13:18,410
He's in Tokyo.

3779
02:13:18,670 --> 02:13:19,850
Yeah, Sir Mark Dython, he's in Tokyo.

3780
02:13:20,010 --> 02:13:21,450
He would be Grand Duke.

3781
02:13:22,030 --> 02:13:22,890
Grand Duke, yeah.

3782
02:13:22,890 --> 02:13:23,090
Archduke, Archduke.

3783
02:13:23,090 --> 02:13:24,210
No, Archduke, Archduke.

3784
02:13:24,330 --> 02:13:25,790
Archduke, yes, Archduke.

3785
02:13:25,930 --> 02:13:29,110
333.33, dear John and Adam, please wish

3786
02:13:29,110 --> 02:13:31,790
Dame Astrid a very happy birthday for yesterday,

3787
02:13:32,210 --> 02:13:34,210
January 22nd of March.

3788
02:13:34,270 --> 02:13:35,790
She was so happy, she is back in

3789
02:13:35,790 --> 02:13:39,010
full force after her trip up just before

3790
02:13:39,010 --> 02:13:39,450
Christmas.

3791
02:13:39,450 --> 02:13:41,570
Thanks to all your good wishes and incredibly

3792
02:13:41,570 --> 02:13:43,890
efficient Japanese health services.

3793
02:13:44,650 --> 02:13:47,590
Her recovery was miraculous, just like Steve Austin.

3794
02:13:48,250 --> 02:13:50,710
This time with 6 million yen, they had

3795
02:13:50,710 --> 02:13:53,570
the technology to build her back better.

3796
02:13:54,310 --> 02:13:55,630
Her back is good.

3797
02:13:56,150 --> 02:13:57,810
To build her back better.

3798
02:13:58,150 --> 02:13:58,810
There you go.

3799
02:13:59,170 --> 02:14:00,850
With Kyocera inside.

3800
02:14:01,130 --> 02:14:02,510
Hey, I had one of those flip phones,

3801
02:14:02,710 --> 02:14:03,450
the Kyocera.

3802
02:14:03,730 --> 02:14:04,330
Nice.

3803
02:14:04,990 --> 02:14:07,770
Early birthday wishes to John for April 5th.

3804
02:14:07,790 --> 02:14:08,150
Ah, yes.

3805
02:14:08,150 --> 02:14:10,370
We're truly the gang of Aries.

3806
02:14:11,290 --> 02:14:13,010
With my birthday up shortly, too.

3807
02:14:13,350 --> 02:14:16,110
Love from Tokyo, Sir Mark, Archduke of Japan,

3808
02:14:16,410 --> 02:14:19,550
Japan Sea, and all the disputed islands.

3809
02:14:19,870 --> 02:14:20,790
Oh, yeah, that's right.

3810
02:14:20,930 --> 02:14:21,850
He's going to be 60.

3811
02:14:22,030 --> 02:14:22,790
Big 6-0.

3812
02:14:22,990 --> 02:14:24,610
And happy birthday, Dame Astrid.

3813
02:14:24,710 --> 02:14:25,970
Kiss, kiss from afar.

3814
02:14:27,010 --> 02:14:29,630
333 from Anonymous in Bailey, Colorado.

3815
02:14:29,970 --> 02:14:32,730
Bailey, a Colorado Anonymous, says, thank you for

3816
02:14:32,730 --> 02:14:33,270
all you do.

3817
02:14:33,530 --> 02:14:34,990
And we say thank you very much.

3818
02:14:36,330 --> 02:14:46,390
Meanwhile, Mary Verhanovitch in East Lansing, Michigan, comes

3819
02:14:46,390 --> 02:14:49,210
in with 300 bucks with no note whatsoever.

3820
02:14:49,690 --> 02:14:50,630
It came in as a check.

3821
02:14:50,990 --> 02:14:52,750
Wanted to just give her the double up

3822
02:14:52,750 --> 02:14:53,050
karma.

3823
02:14:53,270 --> 02:14:53,890
You got it.

3824
02:14:53,930 --> 02:14:54,910
Double up on the way.

3825
02:14:55,130 --> 02:14:58,430
You've got double up karma.

3826
02:14:58,730 --> 02:15:01,330
Which brings us to our first associate executive

3827
02:15:01,330 --> 02:15:06,370
producer with 233.33. It is from The

3828
02:15:06,370 --> 02:15:09,030
Candyman, which I think may be stolen valor

3829
02:15:09,030 --> 02:15:10,930
because The Candyman, as far as I know,

3830
02:15:11,190 --> 02:15:13,490
is our knight there in Finland.

3831
02:15:14,650 --> 02:15:16,610
But there can be more than one Candyman.

3832
02:15:16,730 --> 02:15:18,790
ITM gentlemen, you're San Francisco refugee.

3833
02:15:19,010 --> 02:15:21,170
The Candyman here, lover of eggs and protector

3834
02:15:21,170 --> 02:15:21,750
of bunnies.

3835
02:15:21,870 --> 02:15:23,110
The chocolate kind, of course.

3836
02:15:23,810 --> 02:15:24,990
I have a real boots on the ground

3837
02:15:24,990 --> 02:15:26,730
update for you knights and dames out there.

3838
02:15:27,050 --> 02:15:29,350
Always eat the bunny ears first.

3839
02:15:29,950 --> 02:15:31,010
They're calorie free.

3840
02:15:31,290 --> 02:15:32,170
They really are.

3841
02:15:32,170 --> 02:15:33,950
Well, there's a tip of the day.

3842
02:15:35,230 --> 02:15:37,450
Need some bunny ears for your loved ones?

3843
02:15:37,590 --> 02:15:40,790
Ah, hop on over to littlejohnscandies.com and

3844
02:15:40,790 --> 02:15:43,970
use code ITM10 for 10% off your

3845
02:15:43,970 --> 02:15:47,430
eggs and bunnies and other handcrafted treats.

3846
02:15:48,090 --> 02:15:50,550
Four more years, but no jingles, says Christopher.

3847
02:15:50,750 --> 02:15:51,030
Yes.

3848
02:15:51,990 --> 02:15:54,530
I got the batch of stuff from them

3849
02:15:54,530 --> 02:15:56,110
finally and the hoodie.

3850
02:15:56,470 --> 02:15:57,450
Did you get the turtles?

3851
02:15:57,610 --> 02:15:58,230
Did you get turtles?

3852
02:15:58,690 --> 02:15:59,410
We got turtles.

3853
02:16:00,010 --> 02:16:00,850
I never got turtles.

3854
02:16:00,850 --> 02:16:02,530
What kind of candies did you get then?

3855
02:16:02,590 --> 02:16:03,310
Did you open the box?

3856
02:16:03,350 --> 02:16:03,910
I did various.

3857
02:16:04,350 --> 02:16:05,850
Some fudge and some toffee.

3858
02:16:07,510 --> 02:16:08,630
Two different boxes.

3859
02:16:08,790 --> 02:16:09,350
I had no turtles.

3860
02:16:09,570 --> 02:16:11,170
No, the turtles were amazing.

3861
02:16:11,590 --> 02:16:11,990
Turtles.

3862
02:16:12,490 --> 02:16:13,910
But I also got a hoodie.

3863
02:16:14,590 --> 02:16:15,910
Yes, I got a hoodie too.

3864
02:16:16,250 --> 02:16:17,930
It was pink and guess what?

3865
02:16:18,070 --> 02:16:19,350
Tina hijacked it right away.

3866
02:16:19,610 --> 02:16:19,990
I'm wearing that now.

3867
02:16:19,990 --> 02:16:20,770
Mine was black.

3868
02:16:20,830 --> 02:16:21,470
Mine was black.

3869
02:16:21,530 --> 02:16:22,030
It wasn't pink.

3870
02:16:22,150 --> 02:16:23,050
I got the gay one.

3871
02:16:23,190 --> 02:16:24,710
They send you the pink one.

3872
02:16:24,750 --> 02:16:25,210
That makes sense.

3873
02:16:25,210 --> 02:16:26,430
Yeah, they gave me the gay one, so

3874
02:16:26,430 --> 02:16:27,330
Tina took it.

3875
02:16:27,390 --> 02:16:27,690
It's good.

3876
02:16:28,170 --> 02:16:29,110
Thank you, Candyman.

3877
02:16:29,210 --> 02:16:29,790
Appreciate it.

3878
02:16:30,850 --> 02:16:32,270
You can get the next one too while

3879
02:16:32,270 --> 02:16:32,709
you're here.

3880
02:16:32,889 --> 02:16:34,450
Yes, that would be the wheat.

3881
02:16:34,990 --> 02:16:35,469
Wheat.

3882
02:16:35,870 --> 02:16:37,410
From London, Ontario.

3883
02:16:39,190 --> 02:16:43,590
Canada, 321.1. No, 232.1. Sorry.

3884
02:16:44,430 --> 02:16:46,170
Time has passed since my last donation, but

3885
02:16:46,170 --> 02:16:46,670
here are...

3886
02:16:46,670 --> 02:16:48,410
Ah, this will have to be an upgrade.

3887
02:16:49,629 --> 02:16:53,650
Here are 333 Canada American Looney Tunes buckaroos.

3888
02:16:53,770 --> 02:16:54,910
Yes, we do honor that.

3889
02:16:55,270 --> 02:16:57,490
Even though you don't have a statehood yet.

3890
02:16:57,490 --> 02:16:59,389
Not sure if I was credited with this

3891
02:16:59,389 --> 02:17:01,190
for my earlier donations, but it isn't going

3892
02:17:01,190 --> 02:17:03,450
to matter right now or right shortly.

3893
02:17:04,469 --> 02:17:08,170
Do not listen to We the 51st podcast

3894
02:17:08,170 --> 02:17:09,150
until it happens.

3895
02:17:10,450 --> 02:17:11,770
Sorry about your luck, John.

3896
02:17:11,850 --> 02:17:13,590
I guess we'll just whine and cry our

3897
02:17:13,590 --> 02:17:14,730
way to being Americans.

3898
02:17:15,290 --> 02:17:17,969
To my fellow hypnotized Canadians, what does it

3899
02:17:17,969 --> 02:17:19,190
mean to you to be a Canadian?

3900
02:17:19,410 --> 02:17:21,230
Is it being ruled and controlled and having

3901
02:17:21,230 --> 02:17:24,230
your history derived by the royal pedophilia empire?

3902
02:17:25,350 --> 02:17:26,270
Oh, jeez.

3903
02:17:26,270 --> 02:17:28,770
I think you'd get arrested in Canada for

3904
02:17:28,770 --> 02:17:29,370
saying that.

3905
02:17:29,730 --> 02:17:32,370
Are you attached to the policies and regulations

3906
02:17:32,370 --> 02:17:34,570
that are taking your firearms rights away?

3907
02:17:34,730 --> 02:17:36,950
Do you embrace how a Western central banker

3908
02:17:36,950 --> 02:17:39,889
and elite globalist ignored any previous rules and

3909
02:17:39,889 --> 02:17:42,110
walked in as your leader named Mark Carney?

3910
02:17:42,570 --> 02:17:47,090
Please flood our email, wethe51st at gmail.com

3911
02:17:47,090 --> 02:17:48,389
and tell us what it is.

3912
02:17:48,770 --> 02:17:51,010
Now that your media is pounding into your

3913
02:17:51,010 --> 02:17:56,770
pea brains to, Where were you all during

3914
02:17:56,770 --> 02:17:59,370
COVID when they were shutting small businesses down?

3915
02:17:59,670 --> 02:18:01,290
Why would you not want to become an

3916
02:18:01,290 --> 02:18:03,750
energetic and economic powerhouse of the world?

3917
02:18:04,209 --> 02:18:06,209
You can hang on to your precious Naflantum

3918
02:18:06,209 --> 02:18:08,610
and your Tim Hortons coffees and the image

3919
02:18:08,610 --> 02:18:09,870
of the media has built for you.

3920
02:18:10,209 --> 02:18:11,570
I love Canada.

3921
02:18:11,930 --> 02:18:14,129
Separate from the evil crown and the love

3922
02:18:14,129 --> 02:18:16,990
Canada teaming up with America to expose these

3923
02:18:16,990 --> 02:18:17,430
demons.

3924
02:18:17,430 --> 02:18:20,590
All First Nations should negotiate the conditions of

3925
02:18:20,590 --> 02:18:22,629
the deal as they were the real losers

3926
02:18:22,629 --> 02:18:24,730
of the War of 1812.

3927
02:18:25,330 --> 02:18:27,809
Wake up, Yeshua is king.

3928
02:18:28,150 --> 02:18:29,990
Wake up, Yeshua is king.

3929
02:18:30,330 --> 02:18:30,770
There you go.

3930
02:18:30,930 --> 02:18:31,309
The wheat.

3931
02:18:31,549 --> 02:18:32,170
He is indeed.

3932
02:18:32,910 --> 02:18:33,690
Thank you.

3933
02:18:34,650 --> 02:18:35,530
Crazy note.

3934
02:18:35,690 --> 02:18:37,570

3935
02:18:37,870 --> 02:18:40,709
2-11-65 and they're on board with

3936
02:18:40,709 --> 02:18:42,450

3944
02:18:59,490 --> 02:19:00,709

You want too many here.

Wake up, Katie.

02:19:29,070 --> 02:19:29,590
Wake up.

Thank you for your courage to $11.65.

02:19:32,690 --> 02:19:34,170
You've got karma.

3962
02:19:34,350 --> 02:19:36,049
Got to work on the copy of LaJollaSalt.

3963
02:19:37,309 --> 02:19:38,510
But you're getting there.

3964
02:19:38,809 --> 02:19:39,330
Tighten it up.

3965
02:19:39,450 --> 02:19:40,190
Here's an example.

3966
02:19:40,350 --> 02:19:41,410
Eli the coffee guy.

3967
02:19:41,410 --> 02:19:42,430
Bensonville, Illinois.

3968
02:19:42,570 --> 02:19:44,450
203.23. And he knows how to do

3969
02:19:44,450 --> 02:19:44,570
it.

3970
02:19:44,570 --> 02:19:46,190
He says, I've been thoroughly enjoying the show

3971
02:19:46,190 --> 02:19:46,549
lately.

3972
02:19:46,750 --> 02:19:48,710
But can we get some more Africa news?

3973
02:19:49,690 --> 02:19:51,850
Regardless of the conflicts going on in the

3974
02:19:51,850 --> 02:19:53,750
Congo and Rwanda, we still have a fine

3975
02:19:53,750 --> 02:19:56,830
selection of African coffees as well as beans

3976
02:19:56,830 --> 02:19:57,990

Let's vote for jobs.

3994

And that concludes our executive and associate executive

3996
02:20:39,330 --> 02:20:41,750
producer thankage for episode 1749.

3997
02:20:42,290 --> 02:20:44,150
We're almost at the big 1750.

3998
02:20:44,290 --> 02:20:45,880
1,750 shows.

3999
02:20:46,570 --> 02:20:47,210
It's unbelievable.

4000
02:20:47,490 --> 02:20:47,790
Thank you.

4001
02:20:47,930 --> 02:20:48,730
That's the next show.

4002
02:20:48,850 --> 02:20:49,790
Next show, that's correct.

4003
02:20:50,310 --> 02:20:51,870
Sounds like a donation amount to me.

4004
02:20:52,230 --> 02:20:53,090
Sounds like, yeah.

4005
02:20:53,430 --> 02:20:56,230
Yeah, $17.50 or $1,700.

4006
02:20:56,930 --> 02:20:58,670
Yes, or $17,000.

4007
02:20:59,110 --> 02:21:00,590
I think that's the one.

4008
02:21:00,650 --> 02:21:05,730
$17,500 or $1,750,000.

4009
02:21:05,730 --> 02:21:06,750
I'm just saying.

4010
02:21:06,870 --> 02:21:07,610
It's all possible.

4011
02:21:07,750 --> 02:21:08,570
Put us in your will.

4012
02:21:09,350 --> 02:21:11,810
Thank you, executive and associate executive producers.

4013
02:21:11,910 --> 02:21:14,650
These credits are completely legitimate for you to

4014
02:21:14,650 --> 02:21:17,990
use in scenarios of entertainment in Hollywood.

4015
02:21:18,170 --> 02:21:20,230
You can use it on your LinkedIn and

4016
02:21:20,230 --> 02:21:20,970
your profile.

4017
02:21:21,170 --> 02:21:22,190
You can put it on your resume.

4018
02:21:22,630 --> 02:21:23,950
And you can also, if you don't have

4019
02:21:23,950 --> 02:21:26,570
one already, open up an IMDb.com account

4020
02:21:26,570 --> 02:21:28,490
and proudly post it there.

4021
02:21:28,650 --> 02:21:30,770
We'll be thanking the other donors, $50 and

4022
02:21:30,770 --> 02:21:31,710
above, in our second segment.

4023
02:21:31,710 --> 02:21:33,590
Once again, thank you for supporting the best

4024
02:21:33,590 --> 02:21:35,710
podcast in the universe, episode 1749.

4025
02:21:36,710 --> 02:21:37,810
Our formula is this.

4026
02:21:38,650 --> 02:21:39,270
We go out.

4027
02:21:39,670 --> 02:21:41,150
We hit people in the mouth.

4028
02:21:49,070 --> 02:21:50,790
They're eating the dogs.

4029
02:21:52,110 --> 02:21:53,510
Shut up, Steve.

4030
02:21:58,230 --> 02:21:59,010
I hit.

4031
02:21:59,250 --> 02:21:59,870
No, go ahead.

4032
02:22:00,030 --> 02:22:00,670
No, go ahead.

4033
02:22:00,670 --> 02:22:02,030
After you, sir.

4034
02:22:02,270 --> 02:22:03,290
Well, let's do these.

4035
02:22:03,350 --> 02:22:05,130
I got a series of clips from PBS

4036
02:22:05,130 --> 02:22:07,330
on it because I think there's a show

4037
02:22:07,330 --> 02:22:07,770
title.

4038
02:22:08,710 --> 02:22:11,090
Deep fake nudes.

4039
02:22:11,710 --> 02:22:13,810
A new report offers a troubling look at

4040
02:22:13,810 --> 02:22:15,910
the latest digital threat to young people.

4041
02:22:16,170 --> 02:22:17,650
Deep fake nudes.

4042
02:22:18,170 --> 02:22:20,570
These are realistic photos and videos that have

4043
02:22:20,570 --> 02:22:23,810
been altered using AI technology to depict the

4044
02:22:23,810 --> 02:22:27,170
subjects in sexually explicit situations and then spread

4045
02:22:27,170 --> 02:22:27,770
online.

4046
02:22:27,770 --> 02:22:30,630
Stephanie Sy spoke with Melissa Strobel.

4047
02:22:30,750 --> 02:22:33,110
She's vice president of research and insights at

4048
02:22:33,110 --> 02:22:37,250
Thorn, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting children online.

4049
02:22:37,810 --> 02:22:40,210
Melissa, thank you so much for joining us.

4050
02:22:40,530 --> 02:22:42,610
Before we get to these findings, could you

4051
02:22:42,610 --> 02:22:45,410
start by just explaining what deep fake nudes

4052
02:22:45,410 --> 02:22:45,910
are?

4053
02:22:46,290 --> 02:22:46,670
Absolutely.

4054
02:22:47,430 --> 02:22:50,710
So deep fake nudes are synthetic media creations

4055
02:22:50,710 --> 02:22:53,670
that depict a real person in a sexually

4056
02:22:53,670 --> 02:22:57,090
suggestive or explicit situation or activity.

4057
02:22:57,090 --> 02:23:00,190
What were the main findings in this report?

4058
02:23:00,390 --> 02:23:03,150
Who was impacted the most by the creation

4059
02:23:03,150 --> 02:23:05,190
and spread of these deep fakes?

4060
02:23:05,930 --> 02:23:07,970
So what we heard from young people in

4061
02:23:07,970 --> 02:23:10,470
this survey, and we surveyed about twelve hundred

4062
02:23:10,470 --> 02:23:13,830
13 to 20 year olds, is unfortunately this

4063
02:23:13,830 --> 02:23:15,890
is becoming all too common of an experience

4064
02:23:15,890 --> 02:23:18,330
within their landscape and growing up.

4065
02:23:18,330 --> 02:23:21,590
In particular, one in eight told us that

4066
02:23:21,590 --> 02:23:24,450
they knew someone who had been particularly targeted,

4067
02:23:24,650 --> 02:23:28,330
specifically targeted by and impacted by deep fake

4068
02:23:28,330 --> 02:23:28,750
nudes.

4069
02:23:29,110 --> 02:23:30,950
On top of that, we heard that one

4070
02:23:30,950 --> 02:23:34,470
in 17 themselves had been targeted by deep

4071
02:23:34,470 --> 02:23:35,390
fake nude abuse.

4072
02:23:35,590 --> 02:23:38,370
Now, sometimes that number can feel a little

4073
02:23:38,370 --> 02:23:39,030
bit small.

4074
02:23:39,570 --> 02:23:41,710
One in 17, that's a small percentage.

4075
02:23:41,710 --> 02:23:44,390
But when we think about what 17 looks

4076
02:23:44,390 --> 02:23:47,490
like in our communities, that's the size of

4077
02:23:47,490 --> 02:23:48,490
our kids classroom.

4078
02:23:48,750 --> 02:23:50,410
That's the size of their soccer team.

4079
02:23:50,630 --> 02:23:53,110
So this is really far too high a

4080
02:23:53,110 --> 02:23:55,570
number for kids to be experiencing this type

4081
02:23:55,570 --> 02:23:56,410
of victimization.

4082
02:23:57,130 --> 02:23:58,190
I like the topic.

4083
02:23:58,350 --> 02:23:59,790
I do not like it as a show

4084
02:23:59,790 --> 02:24:00,130
title.

4085
02:24:00,270 --> 02:24:01,570
I'm just going to tell you right now.

4086
02:24:05,150 --> 02:24:07,750
Deep fake nudes you don't like as a

4087
02:24:07,750 --> 02:24:08,210
show title?

4088
02:24:08,350 --> 02:24:09,950
No, it's not going to be a show

4089
02:24:09,950 --> 02:24:10,250
title.

4090
02:24:10,330 --> 02:24:11,450
There's nothing I can do about it.

4091
02:24:11,450 --> 02:24:12,810
You're going to veto it no matter what

4092
02:24:12,810 --> 02:24:13,150
I do.

4093
02:24:13,210 --> 02:24:13,910
Yes, that's correct.

4094
02:24:13,910 --> 02:24:14,830
I'm vetoing it.

4095
02:24:14,970 --> 02:24:16,130
I'm pre-vetoing it.

4096
02:24:16,230 --> 02:24:17,610
I don't know why you have to announce

4097
02:24:17,610 --> 02:24:18,750
that on the show itself.

4098
02:24:18,910 --> 02:24:20,010
Well, I'm going to tell you why when

4099
02:24:20,010 --> 02:24:20,870
you're done with your clips.

4100
02:24:21,990 --> 02:24:22,430
It's a tease.

4101
02:24:22,430 --> 02:24:22,750
Here we go.

4102
02:24:23,590 --> 02:24:23,990
Okay.

4103
02:24:24,310 --> 02:24:24,870
It's a tease.

4104
02:24:25,190 --> 02:24:26,790
By the way, let's stop this.

4105
02:24:26,990 --> 02:24:27,650
Stop the show.

4106
02:24:28,050 --> 02:24:29,230
There's three clips here.

4107
02:24:29,430 --> 02:24:29,690
Yes.

4108
02:24:30,750 --> 02:24:33,450
This is nothing even remotely new.

4109
02:24:34,610 --> 02:24:35,010
No.

4110
02:24:35,510 --> 02:24:38,130
The day that Photoshop came out, I don't

4111
02:24:38,130 --> 02:24:39,550
have the exact date, but I think it

4112
02:24:39,550 --> 02:24:42,150
was in probably the 90s, early 90s, or

4113
02:24:42,150 --> 02:24:43,230
maybe the late 80s.

4114
02:24:44,750 --> 02:24:45,750
Could look that up.

4115
02:24:45,810 --> 02:24:46,330
I'll look it up.

4116
02:24:48,090 --> 02:24:51,190
Immediately, somebody would take somebody's head, because you

4117
02:24:51,190 --> 02:24:52,990
can easily take a head off of somebody

4118
02:24:52,990 --> 02:24:55,370
with a Photoshop, cut the head off and

4119
02:24:55,370 --> 02:24:56,930
put it on a nude body and have

4120
02:24:56,930 --> 02:24:58,730
them doing something, whatever the nude is, because

4121
02:24:58,730 --> 02:25:00,050
there's always been porn around it.

4122
02:25:00,090 --> 02:25:02,410
You could drop someone else's head on.

4123
02:25:02,490 --> 02:25:03,530
It's not a new thing.

4124
02:25:03,530 --> 02:25:05,770
And I know people were complaining about it.

4125
02:25:05,790 --> 02:25:08,350
They've had to pass laws long before AI

4126
02:25:08,350 --> 02:25:11,270
came around to keep people from doing this

4127
02:25:11,270 --> 02:25:14,990
and then posting them as a revenge porn,

4128
02:25:15,430 --> 02:25:16,230
as it's usually called.

4129
02:25:16,370 --> 02:25:17,950
Well, since you stopped the show for this

4130
02:25:17,950 --> 02:25:21,650
commentary, yes, that is true.

4131
02:25:21,650 --> 02:25:26,990
But the speed and ease at which generative

4132
02:25:26,990 --> 02:25:29,070
AI, which is not to be confused with

4133
02:25:29,070 --> 02:25:33,710
agentic AI or quantum, it's too easy.

4134
02:25:33,890 --> 02:25:35,870
So it's just so simple to make it,

4135
02:25:35,970 --> 02:25:40,190
and the life likeness of it is pretty

4136
02:25:40,190 --> 02:25:40,710
good.

4137
02:25:41,350 --> 02:25:43,430
You don't really need the skills that were

4138
02:25:43,430 --> 02:25:45,470
previously required for Photoshop.

4139
02:25:45,870 --> 02:25:48,950
And if you hear the numbers, they're quite

4140
02:25:48,950 --> 02:25:49,470
staggering.

4141
02:25:51,990 --> 02:25:54,450
So it's nothing new, but it has gotten

4142
02:25:54,450 --> 02:25:55,350
a bit out of control.

4143
02:25:55,690 --> 02:25:57,290
OK, I can accept that.

4144
02:25:57,390 --> 02:25:58,490
But it's nothing new.

4145
02:25:58,750 --> 02:25:58,870
No.

4146
02:25:59,010 --> 02:26:00,890
And I think the other thing is I

4147
02:26:00,890 --> 02:26:02,790
think the kids are aware that this is

4148
02:26:02,790 --> 02:26:04,810
bull crap when they see these pictures.

4149
02:26:05,190 --> 02:26:05,470
Well.

4150
02:26:05,610 --> 02:26:07,390
They must be aware of the fact that

4151
02:26:07,390 --> 02:26:08,590
these pictures are fake.

4152
02:26:09,010 --> 02:26:11,110
Yeah, but the harm that is done to

4153
02:26:11,110 --> 02:26:14,170
children when it's passed around.

4154
02:26:14,170 --> 02:26:17,190
I mean, for my money, it comes back

4155
02:26:17,190 --> 02:26:19,570
to don't give your kid a phone.

4156
02:26:19,870 --> 02:26:21,350
Don't let them on social media.

4157
02:26:21,610 --> 02:26:23,410
Don't let them take pictures and post them

4158
02:26:23,410 --> 02:26:23,870
of themselves.

4159
02:26:24,330 --> 02:26:25,990
You may think it's what the kids do

4160
02:26:25,990 --> 02:26:28,070
right now, but, you know, you could also.

4161
02:26:28,690 --> 02:26:30,950
That's been my policy, too.

4162
02:26:31,150 --> 02:26:33,010
And this is this has been your policy

4163
02:26:33,010 --> 02:26:34,230
for as long as I've known you.

4164
02:26:34,270 --> 02:26:35,910
It's like, why would you do that?

4165
02:26:36,770 --> 02:26:37,830
Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

4166
02:26:37,870 --> 02:26:38,110
OK.

4167
02:26:38,110 --> 02:26:41,330
The other important thing that came through here

4168
02:26:41,330 --> 02:26:43,890
was about the availability of this technology.

4169
02:26:44,570 --> 02:26:46,970
And for the kids who told us that

4170
02:26:46,970 --> 02:26:49,130
they had created deep fake news of someone

4171
02:26:49,130 --> 02:26:52,350
else, the technology is really readily available.

4172
02:26:52,770 --> 02:26:55,990
It's available through social media, through browsers and

4173
02:26:55,990 --> 02:26:56,830
through app stores.

4174
02:26:57,430 --> 02:26:59,010
But the good news is, is that most

4175
02:26:59,010 --> 02:27:01,790
kids realize this is a harmful behavior.

4176
02:27:01,790 --> 02:27:04,490
And so there's a lot of opportunity for

4177
02:27:04,490 --> 02:27:06,810
us to be having conversations with them and

4178
02:27:06,810 --> 02:27:08,490
reinforcing those perspectives.

4179
02:27:09,150 --> 02:27:11,490
You know, one interesting part of your research

4180
02:27:11,490 --> 02:27:14,090
that I read were the responses from some

4181
02:27:14,090 --> 02:27:14,970
of these teens.

4182
02:27:15,350 --> 02:27:18,230
Even though we call these manipulated images deep

4183
02:27:18,230 --> 02:27:20,970
fakes, in a way, they're very real.

4184
02:27:21,090 --> 02:27:21,270
Right.

4185
02:27:21,350 --> 02:27:23,630
Especially if you're a victim of deep fakes.

4186
02:27:24,150 --> 02:27:25,210
Yeah, very true.

4187
02:27:25,210 --> 02:27:27,870
For those young people who've experienced deep fake

4188
02:27:27,870 --> 02:27:29,950
news abuse, they have shared with us stories

4189
02:27:29,950 --> 02:27:35,650
of severe anxiety, fear, shame, as well as

4190
02:27:35,650 --> 02:27:37,790
worries that they won't be believed or that

4191
02:27:37,790 --> 02:27:40,930
their experiences will be dismissed because of the

4192
02:27:40,930 --> 02:27:43,190
involvement of AI generative technologies.

4193
02:27:43,890 --> 02:27:47,510
What is being done about AI safety right

4194
02:27:47,510 --> 02:27:47,770
now?

4195
02:27:47,910 --> 02:27:49,590
What should be being done?

4196
02:27:49,650 --> 02:27:53,150
Because we're basically talking about minor sexual abuse.

4197
02:27:53,510 --> 02:27:54,690
This is absolutely right.

4198
02:27:54,690 --> 02:27:56,750
At the end of the day, whether AI

4199
02:27:56,750 --> 02:28:00,490
generative technologies was involved or not, an explicit

4200
02:28:00,490 --> 02:28:03,430
image of a minor is still child sexual

4201
02:28:03,430 --> 02:28:04,490
abuse material.

4202
02:28:04,910 --> 02:28:06,990
And that's a really important starting point.

4203
02:28:08,430 --> 02:28:11,630
I like this sentence, what should be being

4204
02:28:11,630 --> 02:28:11,970
done?

4205
02:28:12,150 --> 02:28:13,550
I mean, that's a very interesting construction.

4206
02:28:14,090 --> 02:28:16,530
I'm trying to create a deep fake nude

4207
02:28:16,530 --> 02:28:18,630
of you with Grok while we're doing this

4208
02:28:18,630 --> 02:28:19,090
story.

4209
02:28:19,890 --> 02:28:22,770
And Grok is creating images, but it's not

4210
02:28:22,770 --> 02:28:23,650
what I'm asking for.

4211
02:28:26,560 --> 02:28:28,760
Why don't you do one of yourself?

4212
02:28:28,900 --> 02:28:30,480
You got a lot more photos online than

4213
02:28:30,480 --> 02:28:30,900
I do.

4214
02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:32,900
It's more fun.

4215
02:28:33,780 --> 02:28:37,060
I want you to see what it's like.

4216
02:28:37,820 --> 02:28:39,900
Okay, we'll go to clip three and then

4217
02:28:39,900 --> 02:28:40,700
we'll look at it later.

4218
02:28:41,000 --> 02:28:44,200
There are responses across the ecosystem taking place.

4219
02:28:44,300 --> 02:28:47,600
For example, our organization has been working directly

4220
02:28:47,600 --> 02:28:51,040
with tech companies to make sure that these

4221
02:28:51,040 --> 02:28:53,940
models are being built as safely as possible.

4222
02:28:53,940 --> 02:28:56,920
And if they are aware of abusive models,

4223
02:28:57,080 --> 02:29:00,340
that those are being made unavailable so that

4224
02:29:00,340 --> 02:29:02,300
they can't be so readily accessed.

4225
02:29:02,680 --> 02:29:04,200
But there's a lot more work to be

4226
02:29:04,200 --> 02:29:04,480
done.

4227
02:29:04,900 --> 02:29:07,420
Right now, we don't have a consistent institutional

4228
02:29:07,420 --> 02:29:10,980
response that's reinforcing what kids already suspect.

4229
02:29:11,420 --> 02:29:13,660
And that's an opportunity where we need to

4230
02:29:13,660 --> 02:29:16,120
lean in and offer more guidance for kids.

4231
02:29:16,380 --> 02:29:18,760
In the meantime, what should parents and other

4232
02:29:18,760 --> 02:29:21,720
caretakers be doing to make sure that their

4233
02:29:21,720 --> 02:29:22,900
teens are safe?

4234
02:29:22,900 --> 02:29:27,040
Having really open and early conversations with the

4235
02:29:27,040 --> 02:29:28,700
young people in our lives is going to

4236
02:29:28,700 --> 02:29:30,320
be one of the most important steps we

4237
02:29:30,320 --> 02:29:31,360
can be doing at home.

4238
02:29:31,480 --> 02:29:34,200
Make sure that kids understand this is not

4239
02:29:34,200 --> 02:29:36,580
a joke, it is not funny, and it

4240
02:29:36,580 --> 02:29:39,360
carries real consequences for the kids that are

4241
02:29:39,360 --> 02:29:40,060
being targeted.

4242
02:29:40,820 --> 02:29:43,920
Naming that openly and directly at home is

4243
02:29:43,920 --> 02:29:45,100
an important first step.

4244
02:29:45,420 --> 02:29:47,500
But we can be doing more for other

4245
02:29:47,500 --> 02:29:50,170
adults within our communities, such as within schools.

4246
02:29:50,170 --> 02:29:52,390
There's a lot of need for there to

4247
02:29:52,390 --> 02:29:55,230
be clear guidance within schools for their school

4248
02:29:55,230 --> 02:29:58,190
bodies that this is not permissible behavior.

4249
02:29:58,510 --> 02:30:01,450
There are student handbooks in place that address

4250
02:30:01,450 --> 02:30:02,630
things like harassment.

4251
02:30:03,270 --> 02:30:05,550
This is something that we can lean into

4252
02:30:05,550 --> 02:30:08,790
and acknowledge this type of emerging risk and

4253
02:30:08,790 --> 02:30:12,010
have policies in place that make sure that

4254
02:30:12,010 --> 02:30:14,490
schools are prepared to respond in a victim

4255
02:30:14,490 --> 02:30:15,390
-centered way.

4256
02:30:15,390 --> 02:30:18,130
Now, was there any other substance to this

4257
02:30:18,130 --> 02:30:19,550
report before you cut it up?

4258
02:30:19,590 --> 02:30:20,850
And I have a reason for asking.

4259
02:30:22,370 --> 02:30:23,390
Not that I know of.

4260
02:30:23,710 --> 02:30:25,850
Did they at any point mention the first

4261
02:30:25,850 --> 02:30:28,070
lady of the United States, Melania Trump?

4262
02:30:29,150 --> 02:30:29,710
No.

4263
02:30:30,130 --> 02:30:32,110
This is why it's not a good show

4264
02:30:32,110 --> 02:30:32,490
title.

4265
02:30:32,930 --> 02:30:34,950
This is her actual issue.

4266
02:30:35,090 --> 02:30:36,590
She had a huge roundtable.

4267
02:30:37,050 --> 02:30:39,710
The president introduced it, I'm thinking maybe three,

4268
02:30:39,870 --> 02:30:40,670
four weeks ago.

4269
02:30:40,670 --> 02:30:44,570
She's supporting a bill that aims to stop

4270
02:30:44,570 --> 02:30:45,950
AI-generated nudes.

4271
02:30:46,090 --> 02:30:48,330
It's called the Take It Down Act.

4272
02:30:49,170 --> 02:30:51,130
And it's literally...

4273
02:30:51,130 --> 02:30:53,810
I thought there was already a law that

4274
02:30:53,810 --> 02:30:55,470
required you to take this down.

4275
02:30:55,490 --> 02:30:55,890
No, no.

4276
02:30:55,970 --> 02:30:57,110
They never got it passed.

4277
02:30:57,330 --> 02:30:58,030
They never got it passed.

4278
02:30:58,750 --> 02:31:04,050
This is supported by Senator Cruz, also Amy

4279
02:31:04,050 --> 02:31:04,530
Klobuchar.

4280
02:31:05,110 --> 02:31:06,370
So it's a bipartisan.

4281
02:31:07,490 --> 02:31:09,430
Meta even has come out and said that

4282
02:31:09,430 --> 02:31:10,210
they support it.

4283
02:31:10,450 --> 02:31:13,230
And it literally is called, you know, the

4284
02:31:13,230 --> 02:31:14,830
problem is called deepfake nudes.

4285
02:31:14,910 --> 02:31:19,950
And I am not surprised but shocked that

4286
02:31:19,950 --> 02:31:23,570
NPR would not take the time to mention...

4287
02:31:23,570 --> 02:31:24,950
Now would you bring that up?

4288
02:31:25,150 --> 02:31:26,930
Yeah, to mention that this is the first

4289
02:31:26,930 --> 02:31:27,690
lady's issue.

4290
02:31:27,810 --> 02:31:29,370
This is a classic example of them not

4291
02:31:29,370 --> 02:31:30,790
telling you certain things.

4292
02:31:30,890 --> 02:31:32,850
It's like the clips I played earlier where

4293
02:31:32,850 --> 02:31:34,330
they wouldn't tell you how much money was

4294
02:31:34,330 --> 02:31:35,950
being squandered on that stupid...

4295
02:31:35,950 --> 02:31:36,310
Yes.

4296
02:31:36,690 --> 02:31:40,010
You know, the study on vaccine hesitancy.

4297
02:31:40,230 --> 02:31:40,490
Yes.

4298
02:31:40,650 --> 02:31:42,210
Why wasn't that mentioned?

4299
02:31:42,350 --> 02:31:42,870
And they should have...

4300
02:31:42,870 --> 02:31:44,430
What you just said should have been mentioned

4301
02:31:44,430 --> 02:31:45,290
in this report.

4302
02:31:45,630 --> 02:31:46,030
Absolutely.

4303
02:31:46,630 --> 02:31:47,470
As the kicker.

4304
02:31:47,690 --> 02:31:47,890
Yep.

4305
02:31:48,230 --> 02:31:49,030
No, no.

4306
02:31:49,070 --> 02:31:50,790
They can't do that because then all of

4307
02:31:50,790 --> 02:31:52,510
a sudden, oh, no, it's a Trump thing.

4308
02:31:52,590 --> 02:31:54,050
And then no one will want to pass

4309
02:31:54,050 --> 02:31:54,430
the bill.

4310
02:31:54,870 --> 02:31:56,950
This NPR and PBS at this point in

4311
02:31:56,950 --> 02:31:58,450
history is just useless.

4312
02:31:58,670 --> 02:31:58,870
Yes.

4313
02:31:59,030 --> 02:32:01,230
So are we just going to stop playing

4314
02:32:01,230 --> 02:32:02,110
clips from them now?

4315
02:32:04,820 --> 02:32:06,100
I'm sorry, the mic's not...

4316
02:32:06,100 --> 02:32:07,420
The speakers aren't working.

4317
02:32:07,580 --> 02:32:07,680
Hello?

4318
02:32:08,300 --> 02:32:09,000
Is this thing on?

4319
02:32:11,720 --> 02:32:15,180
So I'll pivot from this into a little

4320
02:32:15,180 --> 02:32:17,440
bit of AI talk here for a moment.

4321
02:32:19,080 --> 02:32:21,560
As it seems the whole world has now

4322
02:32:21,560 --> 02:32:25,560
gone agentic AI, which as far as I

4323
02:32:25,560 --> 02:32:26,060
can...

4324
02:32:26,060 --> 02:32:27,900
And many people have emailed me about this,

4325
02:32:27,920 --> 02:32:28,700
and I appreciate it.

4326
02:32:29,080 --> 02:32:30,440
It's really machine learning.

4327
02:32:30,900 --> 02:32:32,500
So they're just saying it's AI.

4328
02:32:32,780 --> 02:32:33,360
Oh, it's AI.

4329
02:32:33,500 --> 02:32:33,860
It's AI.

4330
02:32:33,860 --> 02:32:34,260
It's AI.

4331
02:32:34,380 --> 02:32:34,560
It's AI.

4332
02:32:35,500 --> 02:32:40,080
But it's, you know, the machine goes in,

4333
02:32:40,200 --> 02:32:43,080
finds a form, understands the question, fills out

4334
02:32:43,080 --> 02:32:44,000
the form for you.

4335
02:32:44,040 --> 02:32:46,740
And this brings me to a minor boots

4336
02:32:46,740 --> 02:32:47,460
on the ground.

4337
02:32:48,580 --> 02:32:52,020
Tina had ordered a dress online, lots of

4338
02:32:52,020 --> 02:32:53,620
online shopping.

4339
02:32:54,020 --> 02:32:55,980
Dresses are very inexpensive online.

4340
02:32:59,480 --> 02:33:03,060
And so it was this typical, oh, it's

4341
02:33:03,060 --> 02:33:03,740
in stock.

4342
02:33:03,820 --> 02:33:05,380
And it was in stock in this color

4343
02:33:05,380 --> 02:33:06,580
that she wanted.

4344
02:33:06,640 --> 02:33:07,820
And she bought one for herself.

4345
02:33:07,880 --> 02:33:09,540
She bought one for her girlfriend who she's

4346
02:33:09,540 --> 02:33:11,720
visiting in Florida at the end of the

4347
02:33:11,720 --> 02:33:13,060
month, different color.

4348
02:33:13,860 --> 02:33:15,340
And then she gets an email.

4349
02:33:15,460 --> 02:33:17,280
Oh, sorry, this one was not in stock.

4350
02:33:17,400 --> 02:33:19,340
So she fires, she goes to the website.

4351
02:33:20,780 --> 02:33:22,320
No, actually, it was on email.

4352
02:33:22,320 --> 02:33:25,420
She fires off an email and says, well,

4353
02:33:25,560 --> 02:33:27,740
you know, this is not cool because you

4354
02:33:27,740 --> 02:33:29,180
told me it was in stock.

4355
02:33:29,260 --> 02:33:30,520
It said so on your website.

4356
02:33:30,660 --> 02:33:31,480
Is this Teemu?

4357
02:33:32,320 --> 02:33:33,120
No, no, no.

4358
02:33:33,140 --> 02:33:34,420
It's an American company.

4359
02:33:34,980 --> 02:33:36,160
I don't know what the name of it

4360
02:33:36,160 --> 02:33:36,420
was.

4361
02:33:37,760 --> 02:33:40,280
And she said, well, then can I get

4362
02:33:40,280 --> 02:33:42,340
it in the same color that I had

4363
02:33:42,340 --> 02:33:42,600
it in?

4364
02:33:42,940 --> 02:33:44,900
No, we can't do that.

4365
02:33:44,940 --> 02:33:46,260
We can't change the order.

4366
02:33:46,780 --> 02:33:49,840
But it will be back in stock April

4367
02:33:49,840 --> 02:33:50,680
23rd.

4368
02:33:50,680 --> 02:33:52,160
And she says, well, yeah, but I'm going.

4369
02:33:52,420 --> 02:33:53,820
I need this to take to my girlfriend

4370
02:33:53,820 --> 02:33:55,380
in Florida at the end of this month.

4371
02:33:55,520 --> 02:33:57,220
Well, then can you just refund my money?

4372
02:33:57,340 --> 02:33:59,000
No, we can't refund your money.

4373
02:33:59,500 --> 02:34:00,740
So now Tina's mad.

4374
02:34:01,040 --> 02:34:02,500
And she's like, oh, yeah?

4375
02:34:02,840 --> 02:34:03,380
Oh, yeah?

4376
02:34:03,700 --> 02:34:05,580
Well, you're going to have a very unhappy

4377
02:34:05,580 --> 02:34:06,100
customer.

4378
02:34:06,240 --> 02:34:08,100
And I'm going to blast you everywhere on

4379
02:34:08,100 --> 02:34:08,840
social media.

4380
02:34:08,980 --> 02:34:10,640
And my husband's a podfather.

4381
02:34:10,680 --> 02:34:12,080
And you do not want to do this

4382
02:34:12,080 --> 02:34:12,440
to me.

4383
02:34:13,680 --> 02:34:15,160
And then she got an email back.

4384
02:34:15,400 --> 02:34:16,280
Oh, hi, hi, hi.

4385
02:34:16,500 --> 02:34:17,100
It's Emily.

4386
02:34:17,400 --> 02:34:18,300
That was the bot.

4387
02:34:18,740 --> 02:34:20,060
I'm taking over here.

4388
02:34:20,060 --> 02:34:22,360
We can definitely refund your money.

4389
02:34:23,140 --> 02:34:25,300
So she was conversing with a bot.

4390
02:34:26,600 --> 02:34:28,780
And these bots are no good.

4391
02:34:30,870 --> 02:34:33,750
This is the problem with the so-called

4392
02:34:33,750 --> 02:34:36,370
AI is it's just it sucks.

4393
02:34:37,350 --> 02:34:39,390
And I think that for all the money

4394
02:34:39,390 --> 02:34:41,770
that goes into training these bots to make

4395
02:34:41,770 --> 02:34:45,790
them even resemble some human emotion or, dare

4396
02:34:45,790 --> 02:34:49,150
I say, be empathetic to the customer.

4397
02:34:49,150 --> 02:34:50,950
Well, this would not have been an issue.

4398
02:34:51,310 --> 02:34:52,910
I'm going to argue this.

4399
02:34:53,050 --> 02:34:53,450
All right.

4400
02:34:54,030 --> 02:34:56,230
The bot could have done, if the bot

4401
02:34:56,230 --> 02:34:59,770
was programmed with the old adage, the classic

4402
02:34:59,770 --> 02:35:05,590
retailer's adage, the customer is always right, this

4403
02:35:05,590 --> 02:35:06,410
wouldn't have happened.

4404
02:35:07,590 --> 02:35:10,690
The bot was programmed by some nerd that

4405
02:35:10,690 --> 02:35:13,090
doesn't, never been in retail, doesn't know that

4406
02:35:13,090 --> 02:35:14,710
the customer's always right.

4407
02:35:14,930 --> 02:35:16,250
And this is what you get.

4408
02:35:16,250 --> 02:35:18,410
This is the responsibility of the CEO of

4409
02:35:18,410 --> 02:35:18,950
the company.

4410
02:35:19,690 --> 02:35:20,350
I don't think so.

4411
02:35:20,450 --> 02:35:22,350
I'm not so sure that these bots are

4412
02:35:22,350 --> 02:35:26,350
so easily trainable by these online retail outfits.

4413
02:35:26,510 --> 02:35:28,190
They're getting a bot from somewhere.

4414
02:35:29,030 --> 02:35:31,130
They run it through their, you know, here

4415
02:35:31,130 --> 02:35:31,990
comes the consultant.

4416
02:35:32,450 --> 02:35:34,430
Well, it's going to cost you $15,000,

4417
02:35:34,770 --> 02:35:36,030
but we're going to train it on all

4418
02:35:36,030 --> 02:35:37,590
of your shopping experiences.

4419
02:35:38,170 --> 02:35:39,370
And then it just sucks.

4420
02:35:39,710 --> 02:35:41,150
And at the end of the day, you

4421
02:35:41,150 --> 02:35:43,430
would have been better to just have a

4422
02:35:43,430 --> 02:35:45,210
human being answer this.

4423
02:35:46,130 --> 02:35:48,090
Human beings are the new AI.

4424
02:35:48,530 --> 02:35:50,490
I'm telling you, it's going to happen.

4425
02:35:51,950 --> 02:35:54,390
This bot experience sucks.

4426
02:35:57,010 --> 02:35:59,650
And it doesn't seem like it's going to

4427
02:35:59,650 --> 02:36:03,290
have much of a future anyway, because the

4428
02:36:03,290 --> 02:36:04,930
pivot to quantum is here.

4429
02:36:05,510 --> 02:36:07,670
The pivot to quantum is here.

4430
02:36:07,670 --> 02:36:12,350
And the number one AI guy, what's his

4431
02:36:12,350 --> 02:36:12,730
name?

4432
02:36:12,910 --> 02:36:14,990
Quang, Quang, Jensen.

4433
02:36:15,290 --> 02:36:16,510
Jensen, what's his name?

4434
02:36:16,610 --> 02:36:17,210
Jensen Wang.

4435
02:36:17,330 --> 02:36:21,770
Jensen Wang, who is now, who just did

4436
02:36:21,770 --> 02:36:25,750
an entire presentation of their new upcoming quantum

4437
02:36:25,750 --> 02:36:27,650
chip for quantum AI.

4438
02:36:28,250 --> 02:36:29,170
Screwed the pooch.

4439
02:36:29,350 --> 02:36:31,370
The story of quantum computing stocks this year

4440
02:36:31,370 --> 02:36:34,150
really has been all about volatility.

4441
02:36:34,150 --> 02:36:37,150
These stocks experience remarkable growth just over the

4442
02:36:37,150 --> 02:36:37,690
last year.

4443
02:36:37,790 --> 02:36:40,170
You've seen triple, quadruple digit percentage gains.

4444
02:36:40,490 --> 02:36:43,230
And it really started when Alphabet announced their

4445
02:36:43,230 --> 02:36:45,070
quantum chip breakthrough in early December.

4446
02:36:45,710 --> 02:36:48,550
The sector saw a huge rise or spike.

4447
02:36:48,950 --> 02:36:51,330
But then on January 8th, the sell off

4448
02:36:51,330 --> 02:36:53,770
continued, or you saw it really dip down.

4449
02:36:53,850 --> 02:36:56,110
And that was after CEO Jensen Wang from

4450
02:36:56,110 --> 02:36:58,710
NVIDIA stated at CES that quantum tech was

4451
02:36:58,710 --> 02:37:01,990
likely 15 to 30 years away from practical

4452
02:37:01,990 --> 02:37:03,070
implementation.

4453
02:37:03,070 --> 02:37:06,290
The market reaction was immediate and severe.

4454
02:37:06,510 --> 02:37:07,830
So you can really see that dip on

4455
02:37:07,830 --> 02:37:09,190
your screen to the left of those.

4456
02:37:09,570 --> 02:37:10,950
Rigetti fell 45 percent.

4457
02:37:11,090 --> 02:37:13,030
D-Wave quantum down 36 percent.

4458
02:37:13,390 --> 02:37:14,990
IonQ down 39 percent.

4459
02:37:15,130 --> 02:37:16,490
Quantum computing 43.

4460
02:37:16,810 --> 02:37:18,790
All in a single trading session.

4461
02:37:18,910 --> 02:37:19,570
So you get it.

4462
02:37:19,630 --> 02:37:20,530
You see the volatility.

4463
02:37:20,770 --> 02:37:23,610
And today's event, where NVIDIA's founder, CEO Jensen

4464
02:37:23,610 --> 02:37:25,750
Wang, he's going to share the stage with

4465
02:37:25,750 --> 02:37:27,390
14 quantum CEOs.

4466
02:37:27,570 --> 02:37:29,150
Not all of them are, you know, CEOs

4467
02:37:29,150 --> 02:37:30,310
of publicly traded companies.

4468
02:37:30,310 --> 02:37:32,110
But there's going to be, it appears to

4469
02:37:32,110 --> 02:37:35,050
be really an attempt to rebuild the relationship

4470
02:37:35,050 --> 02:37:36,890
with the quantum computing sector.

4471
02:37:37,230 --> 02:37:40,410
And the timing is particularly noteworthy as well.

4472
02:37:40,550 --> 02:37:42,730
It was announced this quantum day just one

4473
02:37:42,730 --> 02:37:45,790
week after he made those CES comments in

4474
02:37:45,790 --> 02:37:46,330
January.

4475
02:37:46,890 --> 02:37:49,810
And following Tuesday's announcement in his keynote that

4476
02:37:49,810 --> 02:37:52,990
NVIDIA is also developing a quantum computing research

4477
02:37:52,990 --> 02:37:54,770
center in Boston.

4478
02:37:54,770 --> 02:37:56,990
So you can see that his tone, I

4479
02:37:56,990 --> 02:37:58,330
guess, is more pleasant.

4480
02:37:58,330 --> 02:38:01,070
Not pleasant, but just more optimistic about the

4481
02:38:01,070 --> 02:38:01,570
technology.

4482
02:38:01,730 --> 02:38:04,490
And despite today's gathering, though, quantum stocks continue

4483
02:38:04,490 --> 02:38:06,750
to trade down, heading into the event and

4484
02:38:06,750 --> 02:38:09,030
remain substantially below their previous highs.

4485
02:38:09,370 --> 02:38:12,090
The ongoing volatility really underscores the speculative nature

4486
02:38:12,090 --> 02:38:14,690
of investments in this emerging technology sector, which

4487
02:38:14,690 --> 02:38:17,110
we continue to cover, given that volatility, guys.

4488
02:38:17,950 --> 02:38:22,090
I think Jensen Wang is a great porn

4489
02:38:22,090 --> 02:38:22,430
name.

4490
02:38:23,530 --> 02:38:25,210
He should consider a career change.

4491
02:38:25,210 --> 02:38:28,050
Quantum computing is the new climate change, John.

4492
02:38:28,230 --> 02:38:29,310
That's what that is.

4493
02:38:30,110 --> 02:38:32,310
It's all bull.

4494
02:38:32,990 --> 02:38:34,110
It's smoke and mirrors.

4495
02:38:34,450 --> 02:38:36,950
It's all of this, this AI, it's all

4496
02:38:36,950 --> 02:38:40,570
fantastic for making deep fake nudes.

4497
02:38:40,750 --> 02:38:41,850
It's really good at that.

4498
02:38:42,010 --> 02:38:44,650
It's great at making, you know, Scaramanga makes

4499
02:38:44,650 --> 02:38:48,330
movies about Jesus in a coffee shop.

4500
02:38:48,470 --> 02:38:49,890
It's great for that stuff.

4501
02:38:50,010 --> 02:38:51,510
But I just, you know.

4502
02:38:52,490 --> 02:38:53,570
We know your position.

4503
02:38:53,570 --> 02:38:55,670
But I would be all for, I mean,

4504
02:38:55,770 --> 02:38:57,290
think of the exit strategy.

4505
02:38:57,670 --> 02:39:00,570
If we could train an AI to have

4506
02:39:00,570 --> 02:39:04,050
our views and our insight, and we have

4507
02:39:04,050 --> 02:39:08,750
17 years of transcripts and audio to train

4508
02:39:08,750 --> 02:39:12,990
an LLM, a large language multimodal model on

4509
02:39:12,990 --> 02:39:16,150
it, and do our voices, and answer an

4510
02:39:16,150 --> 02:39:18,890
email or two, we could kick back and

4511
02:39:18,890 --> 02:39:19,610
relax, baby.

4512
02:39:21,790 --> 02:39:23,250
How come we can't get this?

4513
02:39:24,350 --> 02:39:25,130
We could.

4514
02:39:26,850 --> 02:39:27,610
Show me.

4515
02:39:28,770 --> 02:39:29,810
Well, I'm not going to do it.

4516
02:39:29,870 --> 02:39:30,190
Why?

4517
02:39:32,050 --> 02:39:37,250
For one thing, it wouldn't have the contemporaneous

4518
02:39:37,250 --> 02:39:38,830
gags.

4519
02:39:38,930 --> 02:39:40,010
So you're telling me AI is no good.

4520
02:39:40,010 --> 02:39:42,630
The old material, the jokes would be recycled.

4521
02:39:42,630 --> 02:39:43,670
Of course, a lot of people haven't heard

4522
02:39:43,670 --> 02:39:44,510
the material anyway.

4523
02:39:44,730 --> 02:39:46,130
You're making my point for me.

4524
02:39:46,810 --> 02:39:47,810
You might be right.

4525
02:39:48,270 --> 02:39:50,050
I'll talk to some people about it.

4526
02:39:50,070 --> 02:39:51,170
Yeah, okay, yeah.

4527
02:39:51,170 --> 02:39:52,270
Let's go with it.

4528
02:39:52,330 --> 02:39:54,170
I've got an insult clip here.

4529
02:39:54,250 --> 02:39:55,090
This is a good one.

4530
02:39:55,230 --> 02:39:56,590
This is floating around.

4531
02:39:56,730 --> 02:40:00,270
This is Gavin Newsom on his podcast talking

4532
02:40:00,270 --> 02:40:01,990
about Latinx.

4533
02:40:02,250 --> 02:40:04,250
This is a clip from CNN.

4534
02:40:04,970 --> 02:40:06,070
This is how bad it is.

4535
02:40:06,470 --> 02:40:08,970
If Newsom's trying to get off the track,

4536
02:40:09,050 --> 02:40:11,210
off the Democrat track, to run for president

4537
02:40:11,210 --> 02:40:14,630
by being, like, sensible, it's not going to

4538
02:40:14,630 --> 02:40:17,010
happen because they're going to dog him, and

4539
02:40:17,010 --> 02:40:17,930
here's the example.

4540
02:40:17,930 --> 02:40:19,890
Not one person ever in my office has

4541
02:40:19,890 --> 02:40:20,870
ever used the word Latinx.

4542
02:40:21,030 --> 02:40:22,370
So can we finally put that to bed?

4543
02:40:22,710 --> 02:40:24,710
No more Latinx, everybody.

4544
02:40:24,810 --> 02:40:25,670
Well, I just didn't even know where it

4545
02:40:25,670 --> 02:40:26,130
came from.

4546
02:40:26,190 --> 02:40:27,470
I'm like, what are people talking about?

4547
02:40:27,710 --> 02:40:29,610
But there was a person who used Latinx.

4548
02:40:29,690 --> 02:40:31,310
It was actually a really important person.

4549
02:40:31,770 --> 02:40:32,730
It was him, right?

4550
02:40:32,950 --> 02:40:33,390
Yeah, that's right.

4551
02:40:33,470 --> 02:40:34,830
And look, these aren't minor shifts.

4552
02:40:34,890 --> 02:40:37,250
These are progressive issues that Gavin Newsom used

4553
02:40:37,250 --> 02:40:40,110
to champion until fairly recently, and now he's

4554
02:40:40,110 --> 02:40:42,050
not just walking away from them.

4555
02:40:42,210 --> 02:40:43,990
He's sort of acting like they were never

4556
02:40:43,990 --> 02:40:47,390
legitimate with that clip talking about Latinx in

4557
02:40:47,390 --> 02:40:48,270
the first place.

4558
02:40:48,310 --> 02:40:50,350
But let's just, let's take Latinx.

4559
02:40:50,470 --> 02:40:52,950
We did find somebody who used it repeatedly

4560
02:40:52,950 --> 02:40:53,790
in his office.

4561
02:40:53,930 --> 02:40:54,910
Let's take a listen to this.

4562
02:40:55,130 --> 02:40:56,790
I hope we can really paint a picture

4563
02:40:56,790 --> 02:41:00,350
in terms of our consciousness of how impactful

4564
02:41:00,350 --> 02:41:02,410
this has been on the Latinx community.

4565
02:41:02,670 --> 02:41:05,690
Latinx community, the Latinx and black communities.

4566
02:41:05,830 --> 02:41:08,870
You've got politicians that are banning not assault

4567
02:41:08,870 --> 02:41:10,430
rifles, but the word Latinx.

4568
02:41:10,550 --> 02:41:11,530
They're not even serious.

4569
02:41:11,530 --> 02:41:12,490
Yeah.

4570
02:41:12,850 --> 02:41:14,850
I think Gavin Newsom thought he could be

4571
02:41:14,850 --> 02:41:16,770
the new Joe Rogan of the left.

4572
02:41:18,330 --> 02:41:20,550
But it's looking more and more like Bill

4573
02:41:20,550 --> 02:41:21,850
Burr is going to be that guy.

4574
02:41:23,370 --> 02:41:24,710
He's showing up everywhere.

4575
02:41:24,830 --> 02:41:25,770
No, Bill Burr can't do it.

4576
02:41:26,030 --> 02:41:27,610
I'm not saying he can't.

4577
02:41:27,910 --> 02:41:35,750
See, Rogan is a kind of normalized American.

4578
02:41:36,350 --> 02:41:37,990
He has questions.

4579
02:41:37,990 --> 02:41:44,030
He's not a mean-spirited prick like Bill

4580
02:41:44,030 --> 02:41:45,810
Burr, which is why he's funny.

4581
02:41:47,530 --> 02:41:49,810
Bill Burr is hilarious, but he is a

4582
02:41:49,810 --> 02:41:52,690
mean-spirited, unhappy person.

4583
02:41:52,810 --> 02:41:54,230
Classic comedian, by the way.

4584
02:41:54,350 --> 02:41:56,310
Most of them are this way by their

4585
02:41:56,310 --> 02:41:56,650
nature.

4586
02:41:57,550 --> 02:42:00,070
And Bill Burr is not of the sort

4587
02:42:00,070 --> 02:42:03,190
of person that could bring out anything in

4588
02:42:03,190 --> 02:42:03,490
anybody.

4589
02:42:03,490 --> 02:42:06,670
He'd be afraid from the get-go that

4590
02:42:06,670 --> 02:42:08,490
he's going to just slam you for something.

4591
02:42:10,290 --> 02:42:14,190
I will say Rogan is a comedian, but

4592
02:42:14,190 --> 02:42:16,110
Rogan is not the same kind of comedian.

4593
02:42:16,330 --> 02:42:19,230
Rogan is more of a Jerry Seinfeld observational

4594
02:42:19,230 --> 02:42:22,410
comedian, not a mean-spirited prick.

4595
02:42:23,630 --> 02:42:24,030
So, no.

4596
02:42:24,230 --> 02:42:26,330
But I do not think that precludes him

4597
02:42:26,330 --> 02:42:30,510
from getting a big Google YouTube deal to

4598
02:42:30,510 --> 02:42:32,250
be the Joe Rogan of the left.

4599
02:42:32,250 --> 02:42:33,990
He can get a deal, but so what?

4600
02:42:34,930 --> 02:42:36,450
Maybe that's our exit strategy.

4601
02:42:36,750 --> 02:42:37,570
We've talked about it before.

4602
02:42:37,570 --> 02:42:38,450
Get a deal?

4603
02:42:38,730 --> 02:42:40,330
You can't get a deal with the material

4604
02:42:40,330 --> 02:42:40,910
we do.

4605
02:42:40,990 --> 02:42:42,390
No, but we can change our material.

4606
02:42:43,350 --> 02:42:44,310
Go soft?

4607
02:42:45,070 --> 02:42:46,570
No, not soft.

4608
02:42:47,470 --> 02:42:50,890
Go, you know, let's be more empathetic.

4609
02:42:52,730 --> 02:42:54,310
It's the Empathy Joes.

4610
02:42:54,610 --> 02:42:55,530
The Empathy Show.

4611
02:42:55,690 --> 02:42:56,330
We could do it.

4612
02:42:56,710 --> 02:42:57,830
Be very empathetic.

4613
02:42:58,710 --> 02:42:59,670
Yeah, well, you could.

4614
02:42:59,670 --> 02:43:01,370
I don't know.

4615
02:43:01,910 --> 02:43:03,010
It's against my religion.

4616
02:43:03,970 --> 02:43:09,330
Let's go to, since we're talking about Newsom,

4617
02:43:09,610 --> 02:43:10,730
Cal, Cap, and Trade.

4618
02:43:11,310 --> 02:43:13,070
They're keeping this in play.

4619
02:43:13,490 --> 02:43:15,310
I thought it was dead, the idea of

4620
02:43:15,310 --> 02:43:15,950
Cap and Trade.

4621
02:43:15,950 --> 02:43:16,710
For climate change?

4622
02:43:16,950 --> 02:43:18,830
Cap and Trade for climate change?

4623
02:43:19,170 --> 02:43:21,010
Yeah, under Cal.

4624
02:43:21,150 --> 02:43:22,270
And what outfit is this?

4625
02:43:23,270 --> 02:43:24,910
I believe this is NPR.

4626
02:43:24,910 --> 02:43:29,190
Southern California legislator Jackie Irwin can easily list

4627
02:43:29,190 --> 02:43:31,610
the ways that the effects of climate change

4628
02:43:31,610 --> 02:43:32,710
are hitting the state.

4629
02:43:33,070 --> 02:43:34,410
Cycles of intense flooding.

4630
02:43:34,790 --> 02:43:35,750
Historic droughts.

4631
02:43:35,790 --> 02:43:36,550
Rising seas.

4632
02:43:36,770 --> 02:43:37,850
Threaten our coastlines.

4633
02:43:38,270 --> 02:43:39,750
Unprecedented heat waves.

4634
02:43:40,090 --> 02:43:42,930
And closest to home for me, devastating wildfires.

4635
02:43:43,150 --> 02:43:45,470
Those fires, like the ones that tore through

4636
02:43:45,470 --> 02:43:48,470
Los Angeles earlier this year, are making life

4637
02:43:48,470 --> 02:43:51,010
more expensive for all Californians.

4638
02:43:51,090 --> 02:43:52,850
Weather through rising utility bills.

4639
02:43:52,850 --> 02:43:56,270
Because power companies are raising prices to update

4640
02:43:56,270 --> 02:43:58,670
their equipment and limit the risk of starting

4641
02:43:58,670 --> 02:43:59,450
wildfires.

4642
02:43:59,890 --> 02:44:00,650
On top of that.

4643
02:44:00,830 --> 02:44:01,930
Insurance premiums.

4644
02:44:01,930 --> 02:44:04,470
Which are going up for homeowners to cover

4645
02:44:04,470 --> 02:44:04,990
the massive.

4646
02:44:04,990 --> 02:44:07,110
Did the Radiolabs people edit this?

4647
02:44:07,210 --> 02:44:07,930
What is this?

4648
02:44:12,130 --> 02:44:13,060
Insurance premiums.

4649
02:44:13,430 --> 02:44:15,930
Which are going up for homeowners to cover

4650
02:44:15,930 --> 02:44:19,230
the massive losses insurers like State Farm are

4651
02:44:19,230 --> 02:44:20,710
incurring in these disasters.

4652
02:44:20,710 --> 02:44:22,690
Poll after poll has shown this is the

4653
02:44:22,690 --> 02:44:24,910
number one issue for California voters.

4654
02:44:25,050 --> 02:44:25,830
The cost of living.

4655
02:44:26,170 --> 02:44:28,690
That's James Gallagher, the Republican leader in the

4656
02:44:28,690 --> 02:44:29,370
state assembly.

4657
02:44:29,930 --> 02:44:32,830
His party sees an opportunity to use anxiety

4658
02:44:32,830 --> 02:44:35,350
over costs to chip away at the super

4659
02:44:35,350 --> 02:44:37,850
majorities Democrats hold in both houses.

4660
02:44:38,150 --> 02:44:39,010
We need to do something.

4661
02:44:39,170 --> 02:44:40,910
We need to act urgently on this issue.

4662
02:44:41,370 --> 02:44:43,570
And Republicans are prepared to do so.

4663
02:44:43,650 --> 02:44:46,130
But Republicans still have no real leverage at

4664
02:44:46,130 --> 02:44:47,350
the California capitol.

4665
02:44:47,350 --> 02:44:50,230
It's Democrats who are now facing the challenge

4666
02:44:50,230 --> 02:44:54,170
of weighing affordability against another top party priority.

4667
02:44:54,490 --> 02:44:57,670
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions that are worsening these

4668
02:44:57,670 --> 02:44:58,670
climate disasters.

4669
02:44:59,370 --> 02:45:01,710
And that balancing act could result in changes

4670
02:45:01,710 --> 02:45:04,890
to the state's landmark climate initiative known as

4671
02:45:04,890 --> 02:45:05,590
cap and trade.

4672
02:45:05,750 --> 02:45:08,270
That program is a key way states like

4673
02:45:08,270 --> 02:45:11,410
California and Washington have come to fight climate

4674
02:45:11,410 --> 02:45:12,390
change on their own.

4675
02:45:12,610 --> 02:45:14,070
Apart from the federal government.

4676
02:45:14,070 --> 02:45:17,730
You know, I was talking to one of

4677
02:45:17,730 --> 02:45:19,570
our guys from the Koch empire.

4678
02:45:20,730 --> 02:45:21,830
Koch brothers.

4679
02:45:22,650 --> 02:45:22,750
Yeah.

4680
02:45:22,870 --> 02:45:25,810
And, you know, California, in order to build

4681
02:45:25,810 --> 02:45:30,030
back better, the state has determined that you

4682
02:45:30,030 --> 02:45:32,090
need to use green lumber.

4683
02:45:33,430 --> 02:45:35,710
And green lumber means it has not been

4684
02:45:35,710 --> 02:45:36,270
dried.

4685
02:45:36,570 --> 02:45:36,870
Yeah.

4686
02:45:37,410 --> 02:45:39,430
And there's not.

4687
02:45:39,450 --> 02:45:40,730
You can't use green lumber.

4688
02:45:40,730 --> 02:45:43,890
This is this is exactly what they're saying.

4689
02:45:43,970 --> 02:45:45,750
They have to use green lumber.

4690
02:45:46,470 --> 02:45:50,550
And the Koch industries does have one green

4691
02:45:50,550 --> 02:45:52,190
lumber outfit.

4692
02:45:53,370 --> 02:45:56,010
But, you know, that's not going to rebuild

4693
02:45:56,010 --> 02:45:57,070
all of California.

4694
02:45:59,930 --> 02:46:02,150
The fact that they're even talking about cap

4695
02:46:02,150 --> 02:46:04,030
and trade is a way to solve the

4696
02:46:04,030 --> 02:46:04,350
problem.

4697
02:46:04,810 --> 02:46:06,230
Cap and trade solves nothing.

4698
02:46:08,610 --> 02:46:10,090
It just it just moves.

4699
02:46:10,090 --> 02:46:12,890
It gives the excuse, well, we've already traded

4700
02:46:12,890 --> 02:46:14,270
for, you know, someplace else.

4701
02:46:14,310 --> 02:46:15,810
And so we're good to go.

4702
02:46:16,870 --> 02:46:17,810
It's beyond me.

4703
02:46:17,850 --> 02:46:18,990
You play the second half.

4704
02:46:19,270 --> 02:46:19,390
Yeah.

4705
02:46:19,390 --> 02:46:19,930
Let's play this.

4706
02:46:20,110 --> 02:46:21,590
No, it's terrible.

4707
02:46:26,890 --> 02:46:32,010
Well, allow me to introduce theft, theft to

4708
02:46:32,010 --> 02:46:32,490
the show.

4709
02:46:33,250 --> 02:46:34,210
Blatant theft.

4710
02:46:34,670 --> 02:46:37,610
Either that or you're sleeping with someone you

4711
02:46:37,610 --> 02:46:38,670
shouldn't be sleeping with.

4712
02:46:38,790 --> 02:46:40,190
He definitely delivered.

4713
02:46:40,310 --> 02:46:40,430
Yeah.

4714
02:46:40,430 --> 02:46:42,930
And who were you or anyone else to

4715
02:46:42,930 --> 02:46:46,050
question the inherent genius of every impulsive blurt

4716
02:46:46,050 --> 02:46:48,850
of the 70 whatever year old god king

4717
02:46:48,850 --> 02:46:50,730
who rules without restraint.

4718
02:46:52,310 --> 02:46:53,130
Now, how did you learn?

4719
02:46:53,310 --> 02:46:54,790
How did she come up with blurt?

4720
02:46:55,390 --> 02:46:56,530
She didn't come up with it.

4721
02:46:56,550 --> 02:46:58,270
She stole something that was she didn't even

4722
02:46:58,270 --> 02:46:58,830
steal anything.

4723
02:46:58,910 --> 02:46:59,730
She doesn't do anything.

4724
02:47:00,030 --> 02:47:00,850
Blatant theft.

4725
02:47:01,030 --> 02:47:02,370
One of her producers, one of the writer

4726
02:47:02,370 --> 02:47:05,030
producers listens to us.

4727
02:47:06,570 --> 02:47:07,930
Probably hate listens.

4728
02:47:09,150 --> 02:47:10,750
And they said, you know, that's a pretty

4729
02:47:10,750 --> 02:47:11,090
good term.

4730
02:47:11,190 --> 02:47:12,570
This is you start using it.

4731
02:47:14,490 --> 02:47:15,190
We're steel.

4732
02:47:15,470 --> 02:47:16,110
We're hosting.

4733
02:47:16,350 --> 02:47:16,610
We're a hate.

4734
02:47:16,690 --> 02:47:17,390
Listen, we're a hate.

4735
02:47:17,510 --> 02:47:19,150
Listen for someone from the Rachel matters.

4736
02:47:19,370 --> 02:47:20,790
Well, seeing as that they had to fire

4737
02:47:20,790 --> 02:47:23,070
everybody who knows what's left there.

4738
02:47:26,080 --> 02:47:27,560
So we get some international news.

4739
02:47:27,660 --> 02:47:29,020
I can do revoking immigration.

4740
02:47:29,200 --> 02:47:30,240
Paroles is interesting.

4741
02:47:30,680 --> 02:47:31,000
Yes.

4742
02:47:31,020 --> 02:47:32,060
Let's do that for a second.

4743
02:47:32,140 --> 02:47:32,820
That is interesting.

4744
02:47:32,880 --> 02:47:35,140
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Caribbean and

4745
02:47:35,140 --> 02:47:37,180
Latin American countries who came to the United

4746
02:47:37,180 --> 02:47:40,520
States legally may soon face deportation.

4747
02:47:40,840 --> 02:47:40,940
Wow.

4748
02:47:41,020 --> 02:47:44,340
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said

4749
02:47:44,340 --> 02:47:47,900
the Trump administration will revoke legal protections for

4750
02:47:47,900 --> 02:47:51,440
more than half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans

4751
02:47:51,440 --> 02:47:52,580
and Venezuelans.

4752
02:47:53,060 --> 02:47:55,440
The administration claims there's been broad abuse of

4753
02:47:55,440 --> 02:47:56,320
humanitarian parole.

4754
02:47:57,000 --> 02:47:59,080
That's the program that allows people from countries

4755
02:47:59,080 --> 02:48:03,080
experiencing political instability to temporarily live and work

4756
02:48:03,080 --> 02:48:03,840
in the United States.

4757
02:48:04,200 --> 02:48:04,860
Wow.

4758
02:48:05,120 --> 02:48:06,300
Where did this come from?

4759
02:48:07,640 --> 02:48:08,200
Empathy.

4760
02:48:08,400 --> 02:48:09,160
That came from PBS.

4761
02:48:10,040 --> 02:48:15,100
The thing is, it's called temporary protective status.

4762
02:48:16,100 --> 02:48:16,660
Temporary.

4763
02:48:17,400 --> 02:48:18,220
And they just.

4764
02:48:18,600 --> 02:48:19,480
Oh, that was here.

4765
02:48:19,540 --> 02:48:22,340
Here's a report that actually kind of tells

4766
02:48:22,340 --> 02:48:23,740
us what's actually happening.

4767
02:48:23,980 --> 02:48:26,660
Late Friday, the Trump administration announced it was

4768
02:48:26,660 --> 02:48:29,060
revoking the legal status of more than half

4769
02:48:29,060 --> 02:48:32,220
a million immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and

4770
02:48:32,220 --> 02:48:34,560
Venezuela who came to the U.S. legally

4771
02:48:34,560 --> 02:48:35,840
under a parole status.

4772
02:48:36,500 --> 02:48:40,200
The Biden era program known as CHNV allowed

4773
02:48:40,200 --> 02:48:41,960
the immigrants to live in the U.S.

4774
02:48:42,040 --> 02:48:44,740
through sponsorships by U.S. citizens and permanent

4775
02:48:44,740 --> 02:48:45,400
residents.

4776
02:48:45,680 --> 02:48:47,980
In the next 30 days, there were permits

4777
02:48:47,980 --> 02:48:52,360
and deportation protections will be lapsed and terminated

4778
02:48:52,360 --> 02:48:54,820
by the Department of Homeland Security, which is

4779
02:48:54,820 --> 02:48:58,020
warning that if these people do not voluntarily

4780
02:48:58,020 --> 02:49:00,480
depart the country, John, they will be found,

4781
02:49:00,820 --> 02:49:02,740
arrested and deported from the country.

4782
02:49:03,000 --> 02:49:05,840
It comes as Friday federal judge James Bolsberg

4783
02:49:05,840 --> 02:49:09,240
rebuked the Trump administration for ignoring his order

4784
02:49:09,240 --> 02:49:12,540
to turn planes around mid-flight, carrying Venezuelan

4785
02:49:12,540 --> 02:49:15,620
migrants to a high security detention facility in

4786
02:49:15,620 --> 02:49:16,280
El Salvador.

4787
02:49:17,060 --> 02:49:20,100
Bolsberg asked that Justice Department attorney, did you

4788
02:49:20,100 --> 02:49:23,720
not understand and accused the administration of disrespecting

4789
02:49:23,720 --> 02:49:26,960
the court, ignoring orders and missing his deadlines.

4790
02:49:27,280 --> 02:49:29,960
The president has firmly stood by his decision

4791
02:49:29,960 --> 02:49:31,400
and blasted the judge.

4792
02:49:32,040 --> 02:49:32,720
We have bad people.

4793
02:49:32,860 --> 02:49:33,840
We don't want them in our country.

4794
02:49:33,960 --> 02:49:36,420
We can't let a judge say that he

4795
02:49:36,420 --> 02:49:36,820
wants him.

4796
02:49:36,880 --> 02:49:38,080
He didn't run for president.

4797
02:49:38,160 --> 02:49:39,980
He didn't get much more than 80 million

4798
02:49:39,980 --> 02:49:40,440
votes.

4799
02:49:42,260 --> 02:49:44,000
And we just can't let that happen.

4800
02:49:44,000 --> 02:49:46,360
The administration claims all the men who were

4801
02:49:46,360 --> 02:49:49,880
deported are gang members, despite some having no

4802
02:49:49,880 --> 02:49:52,700
criminal history and given no due process.

4803
02:49:53,220 --> 02:49:55,340
The deportees are being held in one of

4804
02:49:55,340 --> 02:49:57,660
the most notorious prisons in the world.

4805
02:49:57,860 --> 02:50:01,220
This is a very interesting judicial move by

4806
02:50:01,220 --> 02:50:02,300
the Trump administration.

4807
02:50:02,580 --> 02:50:04,680
Well, where'd that clip come from?

4808
02:50:05,240 --> 02:50:08,620
That came from CBS.

4809
02:50:10,580 --> 02:50:13,100
The reason I ask is because they don't

4810
02:50:13,100 --> 02:50:16,200
know anything about these people that were shipped

4811
02:50:16,200 --> 02:50:18,420
out of the country to the El Salvadorian

4812
02:50:18,420 --> 02:50:18,780
prison.

4813
02:50:19,120 --> 02:50:20,580
So how would they say that many of

4814
02:50:20,580 --> 02:50:22,040
them have no criminal records?

4815
02:50:22,760 --> 02:50:24,320
They've never revealed this.

4816
02:50:24,440 --> 02:50:25,960
No, they revealed one.

4817
02:50:26,480 --> 02:50:28,060
I don't think I clipped it.

4818
02:50:29,280 --> 02:50:33,260
There was one guy who apparently was a

4819
02:50:33,260 --> 02:50:34,040
baseball player.

4820
02:50:35,060 --> 02:50:36,380
I thought it was the barber guy.

4821
02:50:36,380 --> 02:50:40,760
No, well, they really don't have any examples.

4822
02:50:40,900 --> 02:50:43,680
And what you would expect, certainly from CBS,

4823
02:50:43,980 --> 02:50:46,060
but even from PBS, is you'd have crying

4824
02:50:46,060 --> 02:50:49,060
family members like they rousted him, they deported

4825
02:50:49,060 --> 02:50:49,360
him.

4826
02:50:49,420 --> 02:50:51,400
But I don't see any evidence of that.

4827
02:50:51,820 --> 02:50:53,680
But this is a very smart move by

4828
02:50:53,680 --> 02:50:57,740
the Trump administration because you can just say,

4829
02:50:57,880 --> 02:50:59,540
oh, I'm just revoking your TPS.

4830
02:51:00,300 --> 02:51:02,240
And doesn't mean he's going to go send

4831
02:51:02,240 --> 02:51:04,020
people back to Haiti right away.

4832
02:51:04,020 --> 02:51:07,180
He can, or the administration can, or a

4833
02:51:07,180 --> 02:51:10,020
partner, Kristi Noem, oh, didn't she shoot her

4834
02:51:10,020 --> 02:51:10,380
dog?

4835
02:51:10,880 --> 02:51:11,900
You got to be careful of her.

4836
02:51:13,180 --> 02:51:14,800
But this is a way for them to

4837
02:51:14,800 --> 02:51:17,580
get around the judge's orders and say, well,

4838
02:51:17,680 --> 02:51:18,680
it's TPS.

4839
02:51:19,420 --> 02:51:21,720
So I can just revoke that and I

4840
02:51:21,720 --> 02:51:23,560
have every legal right to send people back.

4841
02:51:23,840 --> 02:51:26,260
I think it's a smart judicial move.

4842
02:51:27,460 --> 02:51:28,940
And I don't think he's going to be

4843
02:51:28,940 --> 02:51:30,560
sending people back to Haiti.

4844
02:51:31,540 --> 02:51:33,060
I don't think you can even land a

4845
02:51:33,060 --> 02:51:33,900
plane there anymore.

4846
02:51:36,000 --> 02:51:37,060
That's not true.

4847
02:51:37,260 --> 02:51:37,700
It's not good.

4848
02:51:37,840 --> 02:51:38,700
Well, then there's the Venezuelan.

4849
02:51:38,700 --> 02:51:40,420
I get the Venezuelan clip, which is kind

4850
02:51:40,420 --> 02:51:42,400
of a follow up to those oldest thoughts.

4851
02:51:43,040 --> 02:51:45,940
Venezuela's government says beginning tomorrow it will again

4852
02:51:45,940 --> 02:51:48,440
accept flights of its citizens deported from the

4853
02:51:48,440 --> 02:51:48,880
US.

4854
02:51:49,940 --> 02:51:52,680
Repatriation flights have been halted by Venezuela's leader.

4855
02:51:53,080 --> 02:51:55,720
The Trump administration had threatened to slap more

4856
02:51:55,720 --> 02:51:57,860
sanctions on the country if the flights did

4857
02:51:57,860 --> 02:51:58,600
not resume.

4858
02:51:58,600 --> 02:52:00,700
And PR's Carrie Khan reports.

4859
02:52:00,860 --> 02:52:04,180
The president of Venezuela's National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez,

4860
02:52:04,380 --> 02:52:06,380
announced the resumption of flights in a statement

4861
02:52:06,380 --> 02:52:07,100
on Instagram.

4862
02:52:07,680 --> 02:52:09,740
Rodriguez, who has been negotiating with the U

4863
02:52:09,740 --> 02:52:12,640
.S., stated migration is not a crime and

4864
02:52:12,640 --> 02:52:15,300
Venezuela will not rest until it secures the

4865
02:52:15,300 --> 02:52:17,860
return of all those who require it.

4866
02:52:18,020 --> 02:52:19,640
A week ago, the U.S. sent more

4867
02:52:19,640 --> 02:52:22,760
than 200 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, claiming

4868
02:52:22,760 --> 02:52:24,680
most were members of a violent gang.

4869
02:52:24,680 --> 02:52:28,620
President Maduro says the deportations are a kidnapping

4870
02:52:28,620 --> 02:52:30,640
and demands the migrants return.

4871
02:52:31,180 --> 02:52:34,740
Maduro's capitulation on accepting repatriation flights come as

4872
02:52:34,740 --> 02:52:37,800
Trump is considering extending the Chevron oil company's

4873
02:52:37,800 --> 02:52:41,100
license to operate in Venezuela, which provides vital

4874
02:52:41,100 --> 02:52:42,220
revenue for the country.

4875
02:52:42,460 --> 02:52:44,300
Yeah, they're going to have to do that.

4876
02:52:45,740 --> 02:52:47,420
We're running out of oil.

4877
02:52:48,040 --> 02:52:50,800
Our gas to oil ratio in the United

4878
02:52:50,800 --> 02:52:53,400
States is becoming more gas than oil.

4879
02:52:53,400 --> 02:52:56,930
I have oil.

4880
02:52:57,990 --> 02:53:00,090
They're trying to shut down refineries.

4881
02:53:01,050 --> 02:53:01,790
Mm hmm.

4882
02:53:01,850 --> 02:53:03,810
And I know out here they're trying to

4883
02:53:03,810 --> 02:53:07,870
Chevron's thinking about closing the Richmond refinery and

4884
02:53:07,870 --> 02:53:08,970
at some point in the future.

4885
02:53:08,970 --> 02:53:12,330
And there's other refining issues that are problematic.

4886
02:53:12,630 --> 02:53:14,410
We're not getting the crude that we want.

4887
02:53:15,690 --> 02:53:17,510
We're not drilling more.

4888
02:53:18,110 --> 02:53:19,630
I mean, it's that peak.

4889
02:53:19,710 --> 02:53:21,490
As far as I can tell, they're drilling

4890
02:53:21,490 --> 02:53:22,510
as much as they can.

4891
02:53:22,570 --> 02:53:23,830
We're using a lot of oil.

4892
02:53:24,450 --> 02:53:26,830
But this little Chevron gotcha at the end

4893
02:53:26,830 --> 02:53:28,450
of this thing was kind of interesting to

4894
02:53:28,450 --> 02:53:28,670
me.

4895
02:53:28,870 --> 02:53:32,310
Maduro, what quid pro quo took place with,

4896
02:53:32,690 --> 02:53:35,130
you know, letting Chevron go in there and

4897
02:53:35,130 --> 02:53:36,690
make money for Venezuela.

4898
02:53:36,930 --> 02:53:38,430
You have to pay for the oil and

4899
02:53:38,430 --> 02:53:39,290
I get it for free.

4900
02:53:39,750 --> 02:53:41,750
I will get the details from the oil

4901
02:53:41,750 --> 02:53:43,030
baron on what that's about.

4902
02:53:43,870 --> 02:53:45,350
None of those guys like Chevron.

4903
02:53:45,450 --> 02:53:46,370
They don't like any of them.

4904
02:53:47,750 --> 02:53:49,390
Yes, it was indeed.

4905
02:53:49,830 --> 02:53:54,450
Yersei Reyes Barrios had been renditioned to El

4906
02:53:54,450 --> 02:54:00,050
Salvador, but no crying family yet.

4907
02:54:01,870 --> 02:54:02,970
So, you know, they'll find somebody.

4908
02:54:03,770 --> 02:54:05,230
You can hire an actor.

4909
02:54:05,670 --> 02:54:07,870
I have an update on the Pope prior

4910
02:54:07,870 --> 02:54:09,170
to being discharged.

4911
02:54:09,530 --> 02:54:11,290
Pope Francis is set to appear in public

4912
02:54:11,290 --> 02:54:13,350
today for the first time since his hospital

4913
02:54:13,350 --> 02:54:14,750
stay for double pneumonia.

4914
02:54:14,750 --> 02:54:17,510
The Vatican announced the Holy Father will bless

4915
02:54:17,510 --> 02:54:19,830
the faithful from his 10th floor suite at

4916
02:54:19,830 --> 02:54:20,390
the hospital.

4917
02:54:20,810 --> 02:54:23,630
His first live appearance since being admitted last

4918
02:54:23,630 --> 02:54:24,070
month.

4919
02:54:24,190 --> 02:54:26,230
The Holy Father, at the time of his

4920
02:54:26,230 --> 02:54:30,530
admission to Gemelli Hospital, presented an acute respiratory

4921
02:54:30,530 --> 02:54:31,070
failure.

4922
02:54:31,250 --> 02:54:33,730
He is returning to his residence Santa Marta

4923
02:54:33,730 --> 02:54:34,470
at the Vatican.

4924
02:54:35,010 --> 02:54:37,810
Catholics around the world have rejoiced, from Rome

4925
02:54:37,810 --> 02:54:39,310
to his native Argentina.

4926
02:54:39,310 --> 02:54:42,530
Up until today, this picture of Francis celebrating

4927
02:54:42,530 --> 02:54:45,470
Mass at a small chapel inside Gemelli Hospital

4928
02:54:45,470 --> 02:54:48,350
was the most recent image of the pontiff.

4929
02:54:48,690 --> 02:54:50,170
And this recorded message.

4930
02:54:52,390 --> 02:54:55,050
Thanking for prayers was the last time we'd

4931
02:54:55,050 --> 02:54:56,290
heard from Pope Francis.

4932
02:54:56,870 --> 02:55:00,130
This hospitalization was marked by a rollercoaster of

4933
02:55:00,130 --> 02:55:04,890
setbacks, including respiratory crises, mild kidney failure and

4934
02:55:04,890 --> 02:55:06,170
several coughing fits.

4935
02:55:06,610 --> 02:55:08,530
The road to recovery will be a long

4936
02:55:08,530 --> 02:55:08,790
one.

4937
02:55:08,790 --> 02:55:11,830
The medical director at Gemelli Hospital said during

4938
02:55:11,830 --> 02:55:15,770
his stay, Francis twice presented critical episodes during

4939
02:55:15,770 --> 02:55:17,410
which his life was in danger.

4940
02:55:17,690 --> 02:55:20,970
The Holy Father was never intubated and he

4941
02:55:20,970 --> 02:55:24,070
always remained alert and oriented.

4942
02:55:24,510 --> 02:55:26,870
Doctors say the Pope will need continued speech

4943
02:55:26,870 --> 02:55:29,810
therapy after prolonged use of high-flow oxygen

4944
02:55:29,810 --> 02:55:31,870
and will need at least two months of

4945
02:55:31,870 --> 02:55:34,950
rest and rehabilitation after he returns to the

4946
02:55:34,950 --> 02:55:35,290
Vatican.

4947
02:55:35,830 --> 02:55:37,790
That doesn't sound very good.

4948
02:55:38,690 --> 02:55:40,530
Two months of speech therapy?

4949
02:55:41,570 --> 02:55:43,050
Yeah, that's odd.

4950
02:55:43,330 --> 02:55:43,970
That's bad.

4951
02:55:43,970 --> 02:55:46,290
I have one clip before we go to

4952
02:55:46,290 --> 02:55:46,630
break.

4953
02:55:46,770 --> 02:55:48,390
Oh, can I request one?

4954
02:55:49,430 --> 02:55:50,190
Which one?

4955
02:55:50,450 --> 02:55:51,610
The Voice of America.

4956
02:55:51,970 --> 02:55:53,530
Yeah, that's the clip I want to play.

4957
02:55:53,650 --> 02:55:55,870
This is very interesting, from the BBC World

4958
02:55:55,870 --> 02:55:56,190
Service.

4959
02:55:56,470 --> 02:55:57,710
Oh, wait a minute, everybody.

4960
02:55:58,890 --> 02:56:02,310
It's the BBC World Service, live from London.

4961
02:56:02,310 --> 02:56:05,150
Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty were founded

4962
02:56:05,150 --> 02:56:07,950
during the Cold War, before they later merged.

4963
02:56:08,410 --> 02:56:10,430
The organisation has been funded by the US

4964
02:56:10,430 --> 02:56:12,710
Congress to promote democratic values.

4965
02:56:13,130 --> 02:56:15,370
It provides news to millions of users in

4966
02:56:15,370 --> 02:56:18,190
23 countries where a free press is either

4967
02:56:18,190 --> 02:56:20,730
banned by authoritarian governments or weak.

4968
02:56:21,210 --> 02:56:23,590
Prime Minister Feeler said he knew what Radio

4969
02:56:23,590 --> 02:56:26,370
Free Europe meant, having listened when young during

4970
02:56:26,370 --> 02:56:27,410
communist times.

4971
02:56:27,410 --> 02:56:29,550
His government is looking to build a coalition

4972
02:56:29,550 --> 02:56:32,170
of European nations to fund it, or perhaps

4973
02:56:32,170 --> 02:56:33,470
even buy it outright.

4974
02:56:34,630 --> 02:56:35,850
They're going to buy it!

4975
02:56:36,170 --> 02:56:37,290
Is it for sale?

4976
02:56:38,030 --> 02:56:39,910
I guess it would be, that's what Trump

4977
02:56:39,910 --> 02:56:40,470
will sell it.

4978
02:56:41,370 --> 02:56:42,330
That's fantastic.

4979
02:56:42,870 --> 02:56:45,050
Come on, people, these people have the internet.

4980
02:56:45,750 --> 02:56:47,370
They've got smartphones everywhere.

4981
02:56:48,590 --> 02:56:50,210
They don't need to listen to me.

4982
02:56:50,210 --> 02:56:52,070
It would be a sucker's bet, that's for

4983
02:56:52,070 --> 02:56:52,410
sure.

4984
02:56:52,690 --> 02:56:54,910
Yeah, it's up for sale, sure, here you

4985
02:56:54,910 --> 02:56:55,170
go.

4986
02:56:55,850 --> 02:56:57,370
Maybe we could make some of that, give

4987
02:56:57,370 --> 02:56:59,530
up some of that ham radio spectrum, let

4988
02:56:59,530 --> 02:57:02,030
them broadcast over there on 20 metres.

4989
02:57:04,190 --> 02:57:05,070
Oh, man.

4990
02:57:06,490 --> 02:57:06,890
Yeah.

4991
02:57:07,990 --> 02:57:09,450
What do you think you could charge for

4992
02:57:09,450 --> 02:57:09,550
it?

4993
02:57:09,610 --> 02:57:10,450
You want to buy it?

4994
02:57:10,710 --> 02:57:12,770
It's going to be overpriced, whatever it is.

4995
02:57:26,330 --> 02:57:28,090
And we're going to wrap up this episode

4996
02:57:28,090 --> 02:57:29,430
with a couple of goodies for you.

4997
02:57:29,470 --> 02:57:30,930
Remember, we do have John's tip of the

4998
02:57:30,930 --> 02:57:31,610
day on the way.

4999
02:57:31,710 --> 02:57:33,790
We have some end of show mixes for

5000
02:57:33,790 --> 02:57:34,030
you.

5001
02:57:34,750 --> 02:57:38,590
A very entertaining, well-produced meet-up report.

5002
02:57:38,830 --> 02:57:40,870
And we have some Commodores and Knights to

5003
02:57:40,870 --> 02:57:41,510
congratulate.

5004
02:57:41,730 --> 02:57:43,710
So, John, right now, if you wouldn't mind

5005
02:57:43,710 --> 02:57:47,070
gracing us with your dulcet tones, thanking everybody

5006
02:57:47,070 --> 02:57:49,490
else who came in, $50 or above, to

5007
02:57:49,490 --> 02:57:51,170
support the best podcast in the universe.

5008
02:57:51,170 --> 02:57:52,590
It's not a big, it's not a long

5009
02:57:52,590 --> 02:57:53,630
list today, unfortunately.

5010
02:57:53,830 --> 02:57:56,050
But Sean Holman starts us off from Noblesville,

5011
02:57:56,490 --> 02:58:00,710
Indiana, $148.48. Peter Lockwood follows in San

5012
02:58:00,710 --> 02:58:03,010
Francisco with $105.35. And he wants a

5013
02:58:03,010 --> 02:58:05,990
big dose of house-buying karma, if you

5014
02:58:05,990 --> 02:58:07,150
give that to him at the end, that

5015
02:58:07,150 --> 02:58:07,650
would be great.

5016
02:58:07,650 --> 02:58:08,210
I'd love to.

5017
02:58:08,690 --> 02:58:10,070
Ian Field, $100.

5018
02:58:10,830 --> 02:58:15,450
Brian Lillard in Prosper, Texas, $88.88. Trevor

5019
02:58:15,450 --> 02:58:20,090
Massey in Avada, Colorado, $84.38, which is

5020
02:58:20,090 --> 02:58:21,310
boobs with fees.

5021
02:58:22,650 --> 02:58:23,970
And I think boobs come with fees.

5022
02:58:24,150 --> 02:58:24,770
Well, I do know.

5023
02:58:24,810 --> 02:58:27,790
Kevin McLaughlin in Concord, North Carolina, $8.008.

5024
02:58:27,850 --> 02:58:29,810
And he is the Archduke of Luna, lover

5025
02:58:29,810 --> 02:58:31,450
of America, and lover of boobs.

5026
02:58:32,250 --> 02:58:36,550
Sir Camera Chris in Grafton, Wisconsin, $67.89.

5027
02:58:36,550 --> 02:58:41,610
He has a birthday coming up for Human

5028
02:58:41,610 --> 02:58:42,170
Resource No.

5029
02:58:42,250 --> 02:58:42,930
3, I think.

5030
02:58:43,210 --> 02:58:44,670
And just turning six.

5031
02:58:45,870 --> 02:58:51,630
Matthew Elwhart in Weatherford, Texas, $6.006. Alex

5032
02:58:51,630 --> 02:59:01,530
McComb, I guess, in Meldon, Essex, UK, $55

5033
02:59:01,530 --> 02:59:04,190
.95. Oh, another one, another Essexer.

5034
02:59:04,570 --> 02:59:06,190
Essex, Essex, Essexer.

5035
02:59:06,190 --> 02:59:08,510
He's been a douchebag for now.

5036
02:59:08,610 --> 02:59:09,610
He probably needs a de-douche.

5037
02:59:11,370 --> 02:59:13,190
You've been de-douched.

5038
02:59:14,170 --> 02:59:17,010
Forrest Scott Brinkley in North Canton, Ohio, $52

5039
02:59:17,010 --> 02:59:20,490
.72. Anonymous in Somerset, New Jersey, $52.72.

5040
02:59:21,550 --> 02:59:22,790
And wants to add Joe.

5041
02:59:22,870 --> 02:59:24,350
I'll bet you this didn't get done because

5042
02:59:24,350 --> 02:59:25,030
it's not in yellow.

5043
02:59:25,150 --> 02:59:28,010
But he wants to add Jennifer Rosado to

5044
02:59:28,010 --> 02:59:28,950
the birthday list.

5045
02:59:29,130 --> 02:59:29,810
She's on the list.

5046
02:59:29,970 --> 02:59:32,030
The back office function just perfectly.

5047
02:59:32,750 --> 02:59:34,050
That's the way it was supposed to go.

5048
02:59:34,370 --> 02:59:35,750
But I was just being cautious.

5049
02:59:35,750 --> 02:59:41,590
Baron Henry in Ranchos Palos Verdes, $52.42.

5050
02:59:44,390 --> 02:59:48,230
Plastig, Plastig in San Francisco, $50.15. It's

5051
02:59:48,230 --> 02:59:49,950
a Q, Plastig.

5052
02:59:50,530 --> 02:59:52,370
I think Plastig would have a U-E

5053
02:59:52,370 --> 02:59:52,870
at the end.

5054
02:59:53,350 --> 02:59:57,670
Forrest Martin, $5.005. Andrew Benz in Imperial,

5055
02:59:57,890 --> 03:00:02,090
Missouri, $5.005. And now we're already to

5056
03:00:02,090 --> 03:00:02,650
the 50s.

5057
03:00:02,670 --> 03:00:03,750
There's not that many of them.

5058
03:00:03,930 --> 03:00:05,350
In fact, there's not that many at all.

5059
03:00:05,350 --> 03:00:06,230
There's only four.

5060
03:00:07,210 --> 03:00:11,650
Bold City Virtual Tours in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.

5061
03:00:12,610 --> 03:00:14,370
Alexa Delgado in Aptos.

5062
03:00:14,530 --> 03:00:16,570
Sir Greg in Newport, North Carolina.

5063
03:00:16,750 --> 03:00:18,950
And last on this very short list, very

5064
03:00:18,950 --> 03:00:21,730
short list, Leanne Chipley in Covington, Washington.

5065
03:00:21,730 --> 03:00:22,350
How short is it?

5066
03:00:22,890 --> 03:00:25,550
It's so short, there's only 32 total donors,

5067
03:00:25,710 --> 03:00:26,990
including the executive producers.

5068
03:00:27,130 --> 03:00:27,770
That's very low.

5069
03:00:27,870 --> 03:00:28,150
You know what?

5070
03:00:28,430 --> 03:00:31,530
We are the only true recession indicator in

5071
03:00:31,530 --> 03:00:32,030
the business.

5072
03:00:32,570 --> 03:00:34,410
I think we're getting near to the recession,

5073
03:00:34,610 --> 03:00:34,730
John.

5074
03:00:34,730 --> 03:00:36,450
Well, something's wrong.

5075
03:00:37,390 --> 03:00:38,490
Something's wrong, everybody.

5076
03:00:38,930 --> 03:00:41,330
Thank you to these donors, $50 and above.

5077
03:00:41,490 --> 03:00:43,350
Remember, you can always set up a recurring

5078
03:00:43,350 --> 03:00:48,510
donation, which is available at knowagenthedonations.com, any

5079
03:00:48,510 --> 03:00:49,450
amount, any frequency.

5080
03:00:49,610 --> 03:00:50,870
If you think you had one set up,

5081
03:00:50,890 --> 03:00:51,750
you might want to check it.

5082
03:00:51,850 --> 03:00:56,810
These do expire, usually around February, March, so

5083
03:00:56,810 --> 03:00:57,930
please check that.

5084
03:00:58,150 --> 03:00:59,590
And once again, thank you to all of

5085
03:00:59,590 --> 03:01:02,510
the executive and associate executive producers who helped

5086
03:01:02,510 --> 03:01:05,450
us out here for a show, episode 1749.

5087
03:01:06,170 --> 03:01:08,410
And a karma was requested, karma shall be

5088
03:01:08,410 --> 03:01:08,730
given.

5089
03:01:09,190 --> 03:01:10,630
You thought, karma.

5090
03:01:12,090 --> 03:01:14,810
Once again, knowagenthedonations.com.

5091
03:01:15,070 --> 03:01:20,290
It's your birthday, birthday, on KnowAgenda.

5092
03:01:20,570 --> 03:01:23,030
Sir Andy wishes his beautiful dame Kylie a

5093
03:01:23,030 --> 03:01:23,550
happy birthday.

5094
03:01:23,730 --> 03:01:26,370
She turned 49 years old on the 21st.

5095
03:01:26,530 --> 03:01:29,290
Sir Mark, of course, the Archduke of Japan,

5096
03:01:29,290 --> 03:01:34,470
wishes Archduchess Dame Asada a happy birthday.

5097
03:01:34,610 --> 03:01:36,570
Belated as well, she celebrated yesterday.

5098
03:01:36,970 --> 03:01:39,070
Jennifer Rosado, her birthday is today.

5099
03:01:39,250 --> 03:01:41,890
Sir Cameron Criss, happy birthday to human resource

5100
03:01:41,890 --> 03:01:42,470
number three.

5101
03:01:42,630 --> 03:01:45,830
Anya turns six tomorrow, and Brendan Thode will

5102
03:01:45,830 --> 03:01:47,550
be turning 29 on the 25th.

5103
03:01:47,890 --> 03:01:50,570
Happy birthday from everybody here, the best podcast

5104
03:01:50,570 --> 03:01:51,630
in the universe.

5105
03:01:53,330 --> 03:01:54,490
We have three Commodores.

5106
03:01:54,590 --> 03:01:55,990
The Commodore promotion continues.

5107
03:01:56,090 --> 03:01:57,530
How much longer on the Commodore promotion?

5108
03:01:57,530 --> 03:01:59,090
You've got to put an end date on

5109
03:01:59,090 --> 03:01:59,390
this thing.

5110
03:01:59,490 --> 03:02:00,070
You've got to cap it.

5111
03:02:00,130 --> 03:02:00,730
You've got to cap it.

5112
03:02:00,830 --> 03:02:01,650
When is this going to end?

5113
03:02:02,190 --> 03:02:03,650
I'm going to figure it out.

5114
03:02:03,870 --> 03:02:04,990
He's going to figure it out.

5115
03:02:05,150 --> 03:02:07,890
So let us welcome our brand new Commodores.

5116
03:02:07,990 --> 03:02:09,650
We have three to welcome today.

5117
03:02:09,790 --> 03:02:12,210
We start with Commodore to the port of

5118
03:02:12,210 --> 03:02:16,710
the angels, Commodore Seaward, and Commodore John Feelman.

5119
03:02:17,070 --> 03:02:19,470
All of you can go to knowagenderings.com

5120
03:02:19,470 --> 03:02:21,710
to get your Commodore ship registered to you

5121
03:02:21,710 --> 03:02:22,530
in the name you want.

5122
03:02:22,630 --> 03:02:23,670
Send us your address.

5123
03:02:24,650 --> 03:02:25,370
Commodore's arriving.

5124
03:02:26,510 --> 03:02:28,810
And we have three knights to bring up.

5125
03:02:28,910 --> 03:02:29,710
Here's the blade.

5126
03:02:29,870 --> 03:02:31,410
After the boast and whistle, I've got one.

5127
03:02:31,410 --> 03:02:32,510
I've got one right here.

5128
03:02:32,550 --> 03:02:34,170
I'm just rocking and rolling today, baby.

5129
03:02:34,250 --> 03:02:35,390
We're not slowing down.

5130
03:02:35,750 --> 03:02:39,130
Up on the podium, please, the Ryan Everett,

5131
03:02:39,410 --> 03:02:42,590
Harry Seaward, and John Feelman, coincidentally also all

5132
03:02:42,590 --> 03:02:43,150
Commodores.

5133
03:02:43,270 --> 03:02:45,150
Gentlemen, thanks to your support to the Know

5134
03:02:45,150 --> 03:02:47,410

5135
03:02:47,410 --> 03:02:49,110

03:02:50,770 --> 03:02:52,690
We have Sir Tim from SWIM.

03:02:52,690 --> 03:02:55,550
We have Sir Harry Seaward of FEMA Region

5139
03:02:55,550 --> 03:02:55,710
No.

5140
03:02:55,850 --> 03:02:58,550
4 and Sir John of the North State.

5141
03:02:58,670 --> 03:03:00,650
For you, gentlemen, hookahs and blow, red boys

5142
03:03:00,650 --> 03:03:05,290

03:03:05,570 --> 03:03:08,830

along with that, barn hits and bourbon, sparkling

03:03:10,890 --> 03:03:13,250
Saturn escort, ginger ale and gerbils, breast milk

5146
03:03:13,250 --> 03:03:16,250
and pavlova, and of course, the mitten mutton,

5147
03:03:16,430 --> 03:03:17,730
the mutton in the mead, the mutton in

5148
03:03:17,730 --> 03:03:18,030
the mead.

5149
03:03:18,370 --> 03:03:21,030
Go to Know Agenda Rings as well, knowagenderings

5150
03:03:21,030 --> 03:03:21,510
.com.

5151
03:03:21,510 --> 03:03:22,830
You will see the Commodores there.

5152
03:03:22,910 --> 03:03:24,650
Some of you, all of you are Commodores.

5153
03:03:24,710 --> 03:03:27,290
You can do double duty, and you can

5154
03:03:27,290 --> 03:03:28,730
take a look at those handsome Know Agenda

5155
03:03:28,730 --> 03:03:29,230
Knight Rings.

5156
03:03:29,330 --> 03:03:31,390
They are Signet Rings, so we're not just

5157
03:03:31,390 --> 03:03:32,370
going to let you hit people in the

5158
03:03:32,370 --> 03:03:33,250
mouth and leave a mark.

5159
03:03:33,290 --> 03:03:35,090
We will give you wax to use it

5160
03:03:35,090 --> 03:03:37,730
to seal your important correspondence, and as always,

5161
03:03:37,870 --> 03:03:40,090
everything comes with a certificate of authenticity.

5162
03:03:40,390 --> 03:03:46,690
Welcome, Sir Tim from SWIM, Sir Harry Seaward,

5163
03:03:46,750 --> 03:03:49,450
and Sir John to the round table of

5164
03:03:49,450 --> 03:03:50,970
the Know Agenda Knights and Danes.

5165
03:03:51,510 --> 03:03:54,870
Welcome to the Know Agenda Meetup.

5166
03:03:58,870 --> 03:04:01,710
There was a rather large meetup that took

5167
03:04:01,710 --> 03:04:03,210
place in Round Rock, Texas.

5168
03:04:03,370 --> 03:04:05,070
I think it was subtitled the Get Out

5169
03:04:05,070 --> 03:04:06,390
of the Hill Country Meetup.

5170
03:04:07,130 --> 03:04:10,050
Unfortunately, I was not able to attend.

5171
03:04:10,790 --> 03:04:12,730
Tina and I had a previous engagement, and

5172
03:04:12,730 --> 03:04:15,110
it's also about a two-hour drive from

5173
03:04:15,110 --> 03:04:16,990
where we are, but a lot of people

5174
03:04:16,990 --> 03:04:18,750
made it, and they sent in a very

5175
03:04:18,750 --> 03:04:21,490
nice meetup report from Round Rock.

5176
03:04:21,590 --> 03:04:24,350
In the morning, this is Sir Recalcitrant Crazy

5177
03:04:24,350 --> 03:04:27,370
Steve II here at the Round Rock Roundup.

5178
03:04:27,450 --> 03:04:29,530
Just want to let JCD know that please

5179
03:04:29,530 --> 03:04:31,410
keep those fake ISOs up.

5180
03:04:31,510 --> 03:04:32,930
I enjoy them, and I'll see you at

5181
03:04:32,930 --> 03:04:34,510
your birthday party in two weeks.

5182
03:04:34,770 --> 03:04:35,950
This is Sir Doug here.

5183
03:04:36,510 --> 03:04:38,670
I'm here with Sir Brian and I.

5184
03:04:38,830 --> 03:04:39,410
We're here.

5185
03:04:39,510 --> 03:04:42,010
We're contemplating our next end of show mix,

5186
03:04:42,370 --> 03:04:45,370
and I just want to say, donate to

5187
03:04:45,370 --> 03:04:51,470
Know Agenda and do the code DEVORAH.ORG.

5188
03:04:51,630 --> 03:04:52,350
Smash the like.

5189
03:04:52,710 --> 03:04:55,110
For every four orders of curry fries, you

5190
03:04:55,110 --> 03:04:56,370
get one free flag.

5191
03:04:56,710 --> 03:04:57,170
This is Danny.

5192
03:04:57,290 --> 03:04:58,130
First time at a meetup.

5193
03:04:58,350 --> 03:04:59,090
Cool bunch of dudes.

5194
03:04:59,510 --> 03:05:01,630
Looking forward to the triple vinyl box set

5195
03:05:01,630 --> 03:05:02,450
whenever that comes out.

5196
03:05:02,610 --> 03:05:03,150
This is Greg.

5197
03:05:03,250 --> 03:05:04,950
I'm a douchebag, but I'll make sure this

5198
03:05:04,950 --> 03:05:05,550
sounds good.

5199
03:05:05,810 --> 03:05:08,310
Coming to RS-664, we had some great

5200
03:05:08,310 --> 03:05:09,170
curry fries here.

5201
03:05:09,370 --> 03:05:10,330
This is Dirty Jersey Whore.

5202
03:05:10,510 --> 03:05:12,430
Spoiler alert, I'm not from Jersey, and I'm

5203
03:05:12,430 --> 03:05:13,150
not a female.

5204
03:05:13,490 --> 03:05:13,950
In the morning.

5205
03:05:14,150 --> 03:05:14,690
Hey, guys.

5206
03:05:14,690 --> 03:05:17,110
It's Mike from the Altish Swamp meetup trying

5207
03:05:17,110 --> 03:05:18,590
to get away from the spooks here in

5208
03:05:18,590 --> 03:05:18,910
Texas.

5209
03:05:19,130 --> 03:05:20,410
What's up, everybody?

5210
03:05:20,590 --> 03:05:22,570
It is Sir Brian with an I, so

5211
03:05:22,570 --> 03:05:26,250
you know it is a party, and Dirty

5212
03:05:26,250 --> 03:05:27,730
Jersey Whore is touching me.

5213
03:05:28,090 --> 03:05:29,310
In the morning.

5214
03:05:30,870 --> 03:05:32,930
And once again, they forgot to add the

5215
03:05:32,930 --> 03:05:33,270
server.

5216
03:05:33,490 --> 03:05:35,510
Add your servers to these meetup reports, people.

5217
03:05:35,690 --> 03:05:37,190
Servers like it, and servers are good.

5218
03:05:37,330 --> 03:05:38,730
Tip your server and tip them well.

5219
03:05:39,790 --> 03:05:41,590
We have a meetup taking place today.

5220
03:05:41,850 --> 03:05:44,170
Underway as we speak, the Dem Ides of

5221
03:05:44,170 --> 03:05:45,790
March Indy No Agenda meetup.

5222
03:05:45,830 --> 03:05:47,610
They always do it on a show day,

5223
03:05:47,690 --> 03:05:50,450
during the show itself, which is always entertaining

5224
03:05:50,450 --> 03:05:50,870
to me.

5225
03:05:51,370 --> 03:05:53,430
So you can still catch them, because they'll

5226
03:05:53,430 --> 03:05:55,030
be going on until well after dinner.

5227
03:05:55,190 --> 03:05:57,770
St. Joseph Brewery and Public House in Indianapolis,

5228
03:05:58,350 --> 03:05:58,790
Indiana.

5229
03:05:58,970 --> 03:06:02,130
That is Dame Maria, Sir Mark, who hosts

5230
03:06:02,130 --> 03:06:03,870
those, and I'm sure we'll get an excellent

5231
03:06:03,870 --> 03:06:05,050
meetup report from them.

5232
03:06:05,330 --> 03:06:07,650
And also, coming up in just an hour

5233
03:06:07,650 --> 03:06:09,970
or so, the North Georgia Monthly Meetup at

5234
03:06:09,970 --> 03:06:12,370
Cherry Street Brewing in Alpharetta, Georgia.

5235
03:06:12,370 --> 03:06:14,190
Is this the fourth anniversary?

5236
03:06:14,350 --> 03:06:14,930
I think so.

5237
03:06:15,450 --> 03:06:16,810
Many more meetups to come.

5238
03:06:16,910 --> 03:06:19,150
Coming up the 29th, Safe in the Netherlands.

5239
03:06:19,430 --> 03:06:20,850
Let me see if we have any other

5240
03:06:20,850 --> 03:06:22,330
foreign places.

5241
03:06:23,230 --> 03:06:24,030
Eagle, Idaho.

5242
03:06:24,410 --> 03:06:25,090
Might as well be foreign.

5243
03:06:25,490 --> 03:06:27,210
Light in the Netherlands coming up on April

5244
03:06:27,210 --> 03:06:27,770
17th.

5245
03:06:27,810 --> 03:06:30,470
Yes, the Lowlands meetup people are doing a

5246
03:06:30,470 --> 03:06:32,030
great job, and you can join them.

5247
03:06:32,150 --> 03:06:33,670
You can join many of the meetups that

5248
03:06:33,670 --> 03:06:36,270
take place all over Gitmo Nation by going

5249
03:06:36,270 --> 03:06:37,730
to noagendameetups.com.

5250
03:06:38,210 --> 03:06:39,830
You can search by calendar.

5251
03:06:39,990 --> 03:06:41,290
You can search by place.

5252
03:06:41,290 --> 03:06:43,630
And, of course, you can add one yourself

5253
03:06:43,630 --> 03:06:45,670
because if you can't find one near you,

5254
03:06:45,770 --> 03:06:47,510
I suggest you start one yourself.

5255
03:06:47,630 --> 03:06:49,410
It's easy and always a party.

5256
03:07:06,950 --> 03:07:10,730
Always like a party.

5257
03:07:10,730 --> 03:07:13,550
And now it's time for the phony baloney

5258
03:07:13,550 --> 03:07:17,490
ISOs that John the Cheater, John C.

5259
03:07:17,530 --> 03:07:19,590
Dvorak, where the C stands for I cheat,

5260
03:07:21,170 --> 03:07:24,070
has created some AI ISOs.

5261
03:07:24,130 --> 03:07:26,990
I, of course, continue to find the real

5262
03:07:26,990 --> 03:07:28,470
deal, and I think I might have a

5263
03:07:28,470 --> 03:07:29,850
shot at beating you today.

5264
03:07:30,550 --> 03:07:32,930
Well, you might because I don't have one

5265
03:07:32,930 --> 03:07:36,590
AI ISO despite your condemnation.

5266
03:07:37,330 --> 03:07:39,410
Well, that remains to be seen.

5267
03:07:39,410 --> 03:07:40,750
I want to hear yours.

5268
03:07:40,750 --> 03:07:41,130
These are all real.

5269
03:07:41,250 --> 03:07:43,010
This is the reason I don't do these

5270
03:07:43,010 --> 03:07:44,730
anymore because they stink.

5271
03:07:45,130 --> 03:07:45,390
It's hard.

5272
03:07:45,490 --> 03:07:46,090
It's hard.

5273
03:07:46,090 --> 03:07:47,870
No, it's just because it's not hard.

5274
03:07:47,930 --> 03:07:48,490
It's not hard.

5275
03:07:48,690 --> 03:07:50,050
You just clip something you already clipped.

5276
03:07:50,110 --> 03:07:50,830
There's no big deal.

5277
03:07:50,930 --> 03:07:51,710
Let's listen to mine.

5278
03:07:51,890 --> 03:07:52,130
Okay.

5279
03:07:53,110 --> 03:07:54,550
I got is what?

5280
03:07:54,710 --> 03:07:55,850
It is what it is.

5281
03:07:58,290 --> 03:07:58,730
Joining.

5282
03:07:59,410 --> 03:08:00,810
Thank you so much for joining us.

5283
03:08:02,750 --> 03:08:03,810
And thank you.

5284
03:08:04,030 --> 03:08:04,490
Thank you.

5285
03:08:05,490 --> 03:08:09,310
Well, I think I can do better with

5286
03:08:09,310 --> 03:08:10,310
real ISOs.

5287
03:08:10,430 --> 03:08:11,030
Here we go.

5288
03:08:11,170 --> 03:08:13,090
These guys are good at what they do.

5289
03:08:15,550 --> 03:08:17,510
I think that already beats you.

5290
03:08:17,710 --> 03:08:18,850
Yeah, I think that's a good one.

5291
03:08:19,110 --> 03:08:20,930
You should be outraged.

5292
03:08:21,210 --> 03:08:23,030
I kind of like that.

5293
03:08:23,190 --> 03:08:23,550
That's no good.

5294
03:08:23,590 --> 03:08:25,190
I think this is the winner.

5295
03:08:25,490 --> 03:08:26,710
This podcast is for the birds.

5296
03:08:28,930 --> 03:08:31,050
These guys are good at what they do.

5297
03:08:31,190 --> 03:08:31,990
I think that's the one.

5298
03:08:31,990 --> 03:08:32,410
That's the one.

5299
03:08:32,590 --> 03:08:32,990
That's the one.

5300
03:08:33,190 --> 03:08:33,470
All right.

5301
03:08:33,610 --> 03:08:34,950
You got to back ass word.

5302
03:08:35,490 --> 03:08:36,590
Back ass word?

5303
03:08:37,250 --> 03:08:37,530
Yeah.

5304
03:08:38,410 --> 03:08:41,590
You mean I did a good job?

5305
03:08:41,970 --> 03:08:43,370
You could just say good job.

5306
03:08:43,470 --> 03:08:46,990
Well, for someone who did a back ass

5307
03:08:46,990 --> 03:08:47,250
word.

5308
03:08:47,430 --> 03:08:47,730
Oh, yeah.

5309
03:08:47,810 --> 03:08:48,450
All right, everybody.

5310
03:08:48,590 --> 03:08:50,550
Hey, it's time that everyone's been waiting for.

5311
03:08:50,630 --> 03:08:52,210
It's John's tip of the day.

5312
03:08:59,470 --> 03:08:59,910
Okay.

5313
03:09:04,250 --> 03:09:06,050
So this is a product that comes out.

5314
03:09:06,050 --> 03:09:07,810
I believe this is made in China because

5315
03:09:07,810 --> 03:09:09,090
it says that on the package.

5316
03:09:10,170 --> 03:09:11,850
And everyone I've seen, there's a bunch of

5317
03:09:11,850 --> 03:09:12,150
these.

5318
03:09:12,610 --> 03:09:14,490
Designed in the USA, made in China.

5319
03:09:14,750 --> 03:09:16,510
And they're all exactly the same.

5320
03:09:16,590 --> 03:09:17,350
You can go look them up.

5321
03:09:17,550 --> 03:09:19,510
But I recommend people buy one of these.

5322
03:09:21,090 --> 03:09:22,410
The brands are different.

5323
03:09:23,010 --> 03:09:25,330
This is a brand called Prepared Hero.

5324
03:09:25,610 --> 03:09:26,670
It could be any other brand.

5325
03:09:26,850 --> 03:09:28,090
They all look identical.

5326
03:09:28,250 --> 03:09:29,530
They have the same functionality.

5327
03:09:30,430 --> 03:09:32,350
And these are fire blankets.

5328
03:09:32,730 --> 03:09:33,770
Fire blankets?

5329
03:09:33,770 --> 03:09:36,710
40 inch by 40 inch fire blankets.

5330
03:09:36,910 --> 03:09:37,750
They're all made in China.

5331
03:09:37,870 --> 03:09:39,250
They're made out of fiberglass.

5332
03:09:39,770 --> 03:09:41,310
And you should have one in the kitchen

5333
03:09:41,310 --> 03:09:41,910
hanging somewhere.

5334
03:09:42,650 --> 03:09:43,170
And you just.

5335
03:09:43,690 --> 03:09:44,710
It's all the same.

5336
03:09:44,810 --> 03:09:45,530
You can look them up.

5337
03:09:45,870 --> 03:09:48,650
They have two black tabs hanging out of

5338
03:09:48,650 --> 03:09:49,590
a red package.

5339
03:09:49,710 --> 03:09:51,010
You pull the black tags.

5340
03:09:51,710 --> 03:09:52,990
That's where it should be hanging up.

5341
03:09:53,050 --> 03:09:54,590
You pull the black tags out.

5342
03:09:54,890 --> 03:09:56,290
Brings out the fire blanket.

5343
03:09:56,370 --> 03:09:57,230
You throw it on the stove.

5344
03:09:57,310 --> 03:09:58,630
Puts out the fire immediately.

5345
03:09:58,850 --> 03:10:02,610
Without using a fire extinguisher.

5346
03:10:02,610 --> 03:10:03,750
Which makes a mess.

5347
03:10:04,090 --> 03:10:04,650
Yes.

5348
03:10:05,670 --> 03:10:07,170
That is a good tip.

5349
03:10:07,230 --> 03:10:08,070
I once had a.

5350
03:10:08,250 --> 03:10:12,510
When I was back at the apartment.

5351
03:10:12,890 --> 03:10:13,910
When I was single.

5352
03:10:14,710 --> 03:10:16,470
Also known as the penitentiary.

5353
03:10:16,930 --> 03:10:18,570
I had a kitchen fire.

5354
03:10:19,490 --> 03:10:23,450
And I wound up extinguishing it with flour.

5355
03:10:24,990 --> 03:10:26,650
And while that was good.

5356
03:10:26,710 --> 03:10:28,930
I then tried to vacuum up the flour.

5357
03:10:28,930 --> 03:10:32,610
And that ruined my Dyson vacuum cleaner.

5358
03:10:32,950 --> 03:10:33,790
And it was a mess.

5359
03:10:33,830 --> 03:10:35,550
You could find flour for months.

5360
03:10:36,470 --> 03:10:36,810
Yes.

5361
03:10:36,970 --> 03:10:37,590
Fire blanket.

5362
03:10:37,790 --> 03:10:38,670
And how big are they?

5363
03:10:38,910 --> 03:10:39,370
These fire blankets?

5364
03:10:39,370 --> 03:10:40,610
40 inch by 40 inch.

5365
03:10:40,650 --> 03:10:41,890
Just enough to cover the stove.

5366
03:10:42,270 --> 03:10:42,670
Wow.

5367
03:10:42,950 --> 03:10:43,550
That's a good tip.

5368
03:10:43,550 --> 03:10:44,310
You get a grease fire.

5369
03:10:44,410 --> 03:10:45,790
You throw the fire blanket on top.

5370
03:10:45,890 --> 03:10:47,730
Puts the fire out almost immediately.

5371
03:10:48,110 --> 03:10:48,950
I think that's.

5372
03:10:49,050 --> 03:10:49,850
That's very good.

5373
03:10:49,870 --> 03:10:50,710
Doesn't make a mess.

5374
03:10:50,810 --> 03:10:52,310
Can you also use it for your Tesla?

5375
03:10:52,450 --> 03:10:53,450
If your Tesla catches on fire?

5376
03:10:53,450 --> 03:10:53,790
You could.

5377
03:10:54,050 --> 03:10:55,090
Well, I wouldn't help.

5378
03:10:55,110 --> 03:10:55,770
But you could.

5379
03:10:55,930 --> 03:10:56,330
All right.

5380
03:10:56,590 --> 03:10:57,170
There you go.

5381
03:10:57,170 --> 03:10:58,250
Go to tipoftheday.net.

5382
03:10:58,570 --> 03:10:59,530
Noagendafund.com.

5383
03:10:59,590 --> 03:11:00,090
For John C.

5384
03:11:00,210 --> 03:11:01,410
Dvorak's tip of the day.

5385
03:11:07,830 --> 03:11:12,810
Now, I'm going to get me a couple

5386
03:11:12,810 --> 03:11:13,710
of those fire blankets.

5387
03:11:14,010 --> 03:11:15,230
That is a very good idea.

5388
03:11:15,590 --> 03:11:17,430
In some cases, they sell them by two.

5389
03:11:18,450 --> 03:11:19,990
Sometimes you can get a five pack.

5390
03:11:20,210 --> 03:11:21,250
I have just the one.

5391
03:11:21,710 --> 03:11:22,810
I've never had a kitchen fire.

5392
03:11:22,810 --> 03:11:23,810
A five pack.

5393
03:11:24,010 --> 03:11:26,090
Well, I've only had the one kitchen fire.

5394
03:11:26,090 --> 03:11:27,050
But that's a great idea.

5395
03:11:27,210 --> 03:11:28,930
That is a very useful tip of the

5396
03:11:28,930 --> 03:11:29,130
day.

5397
03:11:29,610 --> 03:11:31,470
Aren't you glad you stayed to listen to

5398
03:11:31,470 --> 03:11:31,950
John C.

5399
03:11:32,030 --> 03:11:32,130
Dvorak's.

5400
03:11:32,130 --> 03:11:32,270
And they're cheap.

5401
03:11:32,370 --> 03:11:34,050
They're like nine or ten bucks.

5402
03:11:34,350 --> 03:11:35,070
From China.

5403
03:11:35,190 --> 03:11:35,810
What could go wrong?

5404
03:11:38,390 --> 03:11:40,370
Hey, coming up at the end of the

5405
03:11:40,370 --> 03:11:42,330
show here, we have some end of show

5406
03:11:42,330 --> 03:11:42,830
mixes.

5407
03:11:43,030 --> 03:11:45,970
We have the existential crisis from Matty J.

5408
03:11:46,370 --> 03:11:48,570
Which, believe it or not, is a repeat.

5409
03:11:48,890 --> 03:11:51,650
But it's just as good six years later.

5410
03:11:51,650 --> 03:11:56,250
We have, oh yes, the coveted arousal mix

5411
03:11:56,250 --> 03:11:57,490
that Fletcher put together.

5412
03:11:57,690 --> 03:11:59,890
And brand new from Sir Michael Anthony, the

5413
03:11:59,890 --> 03:12:01,930
Trump anti-war in 24.

5414
03:12:02,250 --> 03:12:03,570
You do not want to miss those.

5415
03:12:03,730 --> 03:12:07,150
Also, stay tuned for the next program on

5416
03:12:07,150 --> 03:12:08,870
your No Agenda stream or in your modern

5417
03:12:08,870 --> 03:12:09,750
podcast app.

5418
03:12:10,090 --> 03:12:11,130
It's unrelenting.

5419
03:12:11,310 --> 03:12:13,470
That is the podcast with Darren O'Neill

5420
03:12:13,470 --> 03:12:16,110
and Gene Neftuliaev, our Russian spy.

5421
03:12:17,130 --> 03:12:18,730
And I am coming to you from the

5422
03:12:18,730 --> 03:12:20,690
heart of the Texas Hill Country, right here

5423
03:12:20,690 --> 03:12:22,790
in Fredericksburg, where we get middle-aged ladies

5424
03:12:22,790 --> 03:12:25,070
sloshed by expensive, schlocky clothing.

5425
03:12:25,390 --> 03:12:26,970
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

5426
03:12:27,250 --> 03:12:29,350
And I'm from Northern Silicon Valley, where I

5427
03:12:29,350 --> 03:12:29,850
remain.

5428
03:12:30,030 --> 03:12:30,730
I'm John C.

5429
03:12:30,830 --> 03:12:31,170
Dvorak.

5430
03:12:31,230 --> 03:12:33,530
Remember us at noagenda-donations.com.

5431
03:12:33,590 --> 03:12:36,410
Until Thursday, adios, mofos, a-hooey-hooey, and

5432
03:12:36,410 --> 03:12:36,810
such.

5433
03:12:36,870 --> 03:12:38,070
Eggs, eggs, eggs.

5434
03:12:38,670 --> 03:12:40,750
There's nothing embarrassing about a hen laying an

5435
03:12:40,750 --> 03:12:40,910
egg.

5436
03:12:41,010 --> 03:12:42,550
And you'd better lay one or it's your

5437
03:12:42,550 --> 03:12:42,830
neck.

5438
03:12:43,550 --> 03:12:46,010
I, uh, give them the old needle once

5439
03:12:46,010 --> 03:12:46,410
in a while.

5440
03:12:46,690 --> 03:12:47,490
I love eggs.

5441
03:12:47,750 --> 03:12:50,390
Egg prices are continuing to soar.

5442
03:12:50,510 --> 03:12:53,190
The cost of eggs has been soaring across

5443
03:12:53,190 --> 03:12:53,830
the country.

5444
03:12:53,990 --> 03:12:55,550
High cost of eggs.

5445
03:12:55,930 --> 03:12:57,670
So what's behind eggflation?

5446
03:12:58,170 --> 03:13:01,310
Pathogenic avian influenza, more commonly known as bird

5447
03:13:01,310 --> 03:13:01,610
flu.

5448
03:13:01,790 --> 03:13:04,130
The worst bird flu outbreak in years that

5449
03:13:04,130 --> 03:13:05,750
has just swept through the country.

5450
03:13:06,090 --> 03:13:08,430
Tens of millions of birds have died or

5451
03:13:08,430 --> 03:13:09,190
been slaughtered.

5452
03:13:09,190 --> 03:13:11,390
Bird flu has reduced the egg-laying hen

5453
03:13:11,390 --> 03:13:13,370
population by more than 40 million.

5454
03:13:13,550 --> 03:13:16,090
40 million, that's astounding to think about that.

5455
03:13:16,250 --> 03:13:18,170
Looks like eggs are the new toilet paper.

5456
03:13:18,770 --> 03:13:20,610
It's egg-streamly bad news.

5457
03:13:20,730 --> 03:13:22,430
You might want to consider alternatives.

5458
03:13:22,750 --> 03:13:24,310
This is an egg replacement item.

5459
03:13:24,770 --> 03:13:27,490
These chickens that were laying eggs, those are

5460
03:13:27,490 --> 03:13:28,810
mature hens, right?

5461
03:13:28,910 --> 03:13:30,970
So we don't get a mature hen overnight.

5462
03:13:31,370 --> 03:13:33,450
It takes some time for a chick who

5463
03:13:33,450 --> 03:13:34,910
hatches out of an egg to be free.

5464
03:13:34,990 --> 03:13:36,850
This could be lasting us into the summer.

5465
03:13:36,850 --> 03:13:39,110
Can I offer you a nice egg in

5466
03:13:39,110 --> 03:13:40,010
this trying time?

5467
03:13:42,590 --> 03:13:45,190
Once it was reluctantly aroused.

5468
03:13:45,270 --> 03:13:46,890
It was hard to get it aroused, and

5469
03:13:46,890 --> 03:13:48,310
it is hard to get it aroused.

5470
03:13:48,450 --> 03:13:49,570
But we got it aroused.

5471
03:13:49,910 --> 03:13:50,150
Ooh.

5472
03:13:50,490 --> 03:13:51,630
We got it aroused.

5473
03:13:51,870 --> 03:13:54,010
And I and everyone else around the country

5474
03:13:54,010 --> 03:13:54,710
is doing this.

5475
03:13:54,810 --> 03:13:56,190
It was hard to get it aroused.

5476
03:13:56,350 --> 03:13:57,830
Just keep it up.

5477
03:13:58,050 --> 03:13:59,630
And it is hard to get it aroused.

5478
03:13:59,930 --> 03:14:01,490
You know, I mean, hey, come on.

5479
03:14:01,890 --> 03:14:02,930
We got it aroused.

5480
03:14:03,250 --> 03:14:03,610
Ooh.

5481
03:14:03,610 --> 03:14:05,810
You know, it's going to get even bigger

5482
03:14:05,810 --> 03:14:06,310
now.

5483
03:14:06,730 --> 03:14:06,870
Ooh.

5484
03:14:07,190 --> 03:14:08,390
Look how long it is.

5485
03:14:08,690 --> 03:14:10,110
It was hard to get it aroused.

5486
03:14:10,470 --> 03:14:10,810
Ooh.

5487
03:14:11,450 --> 03:14:12,890
I'll give you the gist of it.

5488
03:14:13,230 --> 03:14:14,830
Quick, get some white stuff, somebody.

5489
03:14:14,930 --> 03:14:15,710
Help me out here.

5490
03:14:16,110 --> 03:14:16,430
Ooh.

5491
03:14:16,810 --> 03:14:17,730
All cash, baby.

5492
03:14:19,210 --> 03:14:21,510
I'm getting too excited about this.

5493
03:14:21,890 --> 03:14:23,470
Sit, stay, and come.

5494
03:14:23,770 --> 03:14:24,810
We got it aroused.

5495
03:14:25,310 --> 03:14:25,590
Ooh.

5496
03:14:26,010 --> 03:14:27,890
The guy is jizzing all over himself.

5497
03:14:28,110 --> 03:14:28,910
Get out of the car.

5498
03:14:29,050 --> 03:14:30,510
Because they wouldn't even think I would even

5499
03:14:30,510 --> 03:14:31,070
think this.

5500
03:14:31,070 --> 03:14:34,150
And everyone is like, oh, right.

5501
03:14:34,330 --> 03:14:34,730
Cool.

5502
03:14:35,010 --> 03:14:35,410
Yeah.

5503
03:14:36,590 --> 03:14:37,390
All right.

5504
03:14:37,550 --> 03:14:38,530
We got it aroused.

5505
03:14:38,770 --> 03:14:40,230
It was hard to get it aroused.

5506
03:14:40,450 --> 03:14:41,890
And it is hard to get it aroused.

5507
03:14:42,090 --> 03:14:42,230
Ooh.

5508
03:14:44,030 --> 03:14:44,830
Totally misquoted.

5509
03:14:45,050 --> 03:14:45,490
It was mediocre.

5510
03:14:45,710 --> 03:14:46,270
Totally misquoted.

5511
03:14:47,150 --> 03:14:49,050
They were asked to change it, and they

5512
03:14:49,050 --> 03:14:49,670
wouldn't do that.

5513
03:14:50,010 --> 03:14:50,370
Hold on.

5514
03:14:50,490 --> 03:14:51,070
Stop a second.

5515
03:14:51,770 --> 03:14:53,210
This is a crisis.

5516
03:14:53,710 --> 03:14:54,930
This is all amateur hour.

5517
03:14:55,410 --> 03:14:57,450
This is all stuff done in the control

5518
03:14:57,450 --> 03:14:59,030
room or done by somebody who is not

5519
03:14:59,030 --> 03:15:01,170
a good guy and done on purpose.

5520
03:15:01,570 --> 03:15:03,050
How stupid have we been?

5521
03:15:03,250 --> 03:15:05,110
And, of course, people got all kinds of

5522
03:15:05,110 --> 03:15:05,890
fun clips.

5523
03:15:06,210 --> 03:15:07,370
How stupid have we been?

5524
03:15:07,550 --> 03:15:08,770
People making songs from that.

5525
03:15:08,930 --> 03:15:10,190
I don't want to see wars.

5526
03:15:10,350 --> 03:15:13,250
I think it's so horrible, so unnecessary, so

5527
03:15:13,250 --> 03:15:15,270
costly in terms of lives and money and

5528
03:15:15,270 --> 03:15:15,690
that order.

5529
03:15:15,930 --> 03:15:17,830
I think it's just a failed mentality.

5530
03:15:18,250 --> 03:15:18,930
It's crazy.

5531
03:15:19,210 --> 03:15:21,990
You can sell problems over a telephone and

5532
03:15:21,990 --> 03:15:23,270
say they start dropping bombs.

5533
03:15:23,430 --> 03:15:26,130
I see recently they're dropping bombs all over

5534
03:15:26,130 --> 03:15:26,490
Yemen.

5535
03:15:27,030 --> 03:15:28,390
You don't have to do that.

5536
03:15:28,390 --> 03:15:29,950
You can talk in such a way where

5537
03:15:29,950 --> 03:15:31,470
they respect you and they listen to you.

5538
03:15:31,670 --> 03:15:32,950
And, you know, the number of lives we're

5539
03:15:32,950 --> 03:15:35,130
talking about is far greater than the numbers

5540
03:15:35,130 --> 03:15:35,650
that you hear.

5541
03:15:35,970 --> 03:15:38,150
When they blow up a town, when they

5542
03:15:38,150 --> 03:15:40,070
blow up these buildings, I mean, these are

5543
03:15:40,070 --> 03:15:41,490
big, powerful buildings.

5544
03:15:41,770 --> 03:15:43,630
They come tumbling down to the ground, and

5545
03:15:43,630 --> 03:15:44,890
they say nobody was injured.

5546
03:15:45,250 --> 03:15:46,210
A lot of people were killed.

5547
03:15:46,710 --> 03:15:48,110
And the numbers are a lot different than

5548
03:15:48,110 --> 03:15:48,590
you think.

5549
03:15:48,770 --> 03:15:49,670
You will see that.

5550
03:15:49,750 --> 03:15:50,670
You will see that happening.

5551
03:15:50,810 --> 03:15:52,550
When those numbers really get announced, you're going

5552
03:15:52,550 --> 03:15:53,450
to see it's much worse.

5553
03:15:53,890 --> 03:15:55,210
The whole world is on fire.

5554
03:16:03,400 --> 03:16:04,360
Adios, mofo.

5555
03:16:08,300 --> 03:16:10,580
These guys are good at what they do.
