1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,960
666, Mark of the Beast!

2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:05,080
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:05,580
Devorah.

4
00:00:05,620 --> 00:00:08,240
It's Sunday, July 13, 2025, this is your

5
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,900
award-winning GiveOnNation media assassination episode 1781.

6
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,860
This is no agenda.

7
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:18,240
40 years since Live Aid, and we're now

8
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:20,600
broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,980
snow country, here in FEMA region number 16.

10
00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:24,080
Good morning, everybody.

11
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:25,260
I'm Adam Curry.

12
00:00:25,420 --> 00:00:28,020
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we all

13
00:00:28,020 --> 00:00:31,299
need more lectures on stablecoin, I'm John C.

14
00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:31,720
Devorah.

15
00:00:32,020 --> 00:00:33,960
It's crackpot and buzzkill.

16
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,340
In the morning.

17
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:39,800
I never thought I'd hear you say anything

18
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:40,800
about stablecoin.

19
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:43,120
What do you mean more lectures on stablecoin?

20
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,600
We got a nasty note from another podcaster

21
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,860
that says we're not talking enough about stablecoin.

22
00:00:49,020 --> 00:00:51,200
No, you got a nasty note.

23
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,520
Yeah, well.

24
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,320
Yeah, saying that you thought my presentation was

25
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,400
boring, but apparently I'm going viral on X.

26
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,100
I'm going viral on X, man.

27
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:06,760
Going viral.

28
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,280
You are totally viral.

29
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,920
Hey, here's a pop quiz for you.

30
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,760
40 years ago, Live Aid.

31
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,540
What was the purpose?

32
00:01:16,780 --> 00:01:18,100
What was the point of Live Aid?

33
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:22,240
Oh, now you're going to try to stump

34
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:22,560
me.

35
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,400
What was the purpose of Live Aid?

36
00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:26,260
Wait a minute.

37
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:26,740
Let me think.

38
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,940
First of all, I have to say it

39
00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:29,860
would be 1985.

40
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:32,540
85, correct.

41
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,300
So that's good.

42
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,200
What?

43
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,360
No, don't.

44
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:35,880
No, don't.

45
00:01:35,980 --> 00:01:36,680
No looking it up.

46
00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:37,180
No, no.

47
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,400
I'm not looking anything up.

48
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:38,900
I'm back.

49
00:01:39,220 --> 00:01:40,800
I'm laid back in the chair.

50
00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:42,360
In the chaise.

51
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:43,320
In the chaise.

52
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,620
What happened in 1985?

53
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,920
Reagan was president.

54
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,380
There must have been, was there a flood?

55
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,200
Or was there somebody died?

56
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,220
Or was there some horrible?

57
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:57,460
I'm stumped.

58
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,580
It was the famine in Ethiopia.

59
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:06,600
Why are you laughing about starving African children?

60
00:02:07,580 --> 00:02:09,699
Because for one thing, the Live Aid money

61
00:02:09,699 --> 00:02:11,200
never went to Ethiopia.

62
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:13,720
I think we knew that after the fact.

63
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:14,840
Well, I didn't see him.

64
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:16,300
Don't send your cash.

65
00:02:16,460 --> 00:02:17,500
Don't send your water.

66
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,620
Don't send your blankets.

67
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,900
And then we don't send your blankets.

68
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:21,680
Don't send your water.

69
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,540
Send your cash to us.

70
00:02:25,260 --> 00:02:26,740
That was George Bush.

71
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,500
Water and blankets.

72
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:29,620
Let me see.

73
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,100
Don't send your blankets.

74
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,700
Where is that?

75
00:02:34,660 --> 00:02:36,100
I can't find it anymore.

76
00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:37,920
It's just send your cash.

77
00:02:38,060 --> 00:02:38,600
That's what it is.

78
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,460
Send your cash.

79
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,500
Send your cash.

80
00:02:40,540 --> 00:02:41,040
Here it is.

81
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:41,500
Here it is.

82
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,640
But that was for Haiti.

83
00:02:42,980 --> 00:02:44,100
I know a lot of people want to

84
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:45,700
send blankets or water.

85
00:02:46,540 --> 00:02:47,600
Just send your cash.

86
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,400
That cash.

87
00:02:48,540 --> 00:02:50,820
That's the cash that really never arrived at

88
00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:51,420
his destination.

89
00:02:52,140 --> 00:02:54,600
Cash to Ethiopia never.

90
00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:56,860
There was a scandal about Live Aid.

91
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,420
Now, for extra points, what was the follow

92
00:02:59,420 --> 00:03:01,660
-up to Live Aid from British artists?

93
00:03:03,820 --> 00:03:04,700
Oh, brother.

94
00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:08,720
I remember there was a follow-up.

95
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,800
I do remember vaguely some of these things.

96
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:14,060
Normally, I would have this stuff firmly entrenched

97
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:15,540
in my memory if I thought it was

98
00:03:15,540 --> 00:03:16,040
important.

99
00:03:16,740 --> 00:03:18,620
But I think I kicked that one out

100
00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:18,940
too.

101
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,800
Band-Aid.

102
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:21,720
Band-Aid.

103
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,260
Oh, yeah.

104
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:22,680
Band-Aid.

105
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:25,600
Who had the hit, Do They Know It's

106
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:25,900
Christmas?

107
00:03:27,580 --> 00:03:28,980
Do They Know It's Christmas?

108
00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:29,840
Yes.

109
00:03:30,580 --> 00:03:33,740
And for extra, extra points, how did Phil

110
00:03:33,740 --> 00:03:38,120
Collins get from Wembley Stadium to JFK Stadium

111
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,040
in Philadelphia on the same day during Live

112
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:42,220
Aid?

113
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:43,420
Chopper.

114
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,100
No, that was the Concord.

115
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,820
Remember, that was a big Concord promotion.

116
00:03:48,820 --> 00:03:50,240
Oh, the Concord, yeah.

117
00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:51,120
Yeah, yeah.

118
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,720
I flew on the...

119
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:52,740
Did you ever fly on the Concord?

120
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,080
You know, I'm not worried about it because

121
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,960
there's a new, faster plane coming, but...

122
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,860
From Boom or whoever these people are.

123
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:02,700
Yeah, Boom.

124
00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:04,040
That's the airline I want to be on.

125
00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:04,520
Boom.

126
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,720
That sounds like a good one.

127
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:05,940
Boom.

128
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,360
No, it was...

129
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:08,880
I flew on...

130
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:09,920
I never...

131
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,720
I almost had the chance once, and then

132
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,360
I blew the real, at least the joyride

133
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:22,660
chance because after the thing folded, they had

134
00:04:22,660 --> 00:04:24,920
joyrides out of the Oakland airport.

135
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,540
I think they were like 200 bucks or

136
00:04:27,540 --> 00:04:28,300
150 bucks.

137
00:04:28,340 --> 00:04:28,920
They were cheap.

138
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,920
And you get in the Concord in Oakland.

139
00:04:32,580 --> 00:04:32,920
It would...

140
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,760
I don't know, I barely land there, but

141
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,140
it did.

142
00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:38,700
And they take off and go up to

143
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:43,300
the air, up to some 50,000 feet

144
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:44,900
and get up to speed and then come

145
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:45,420
back down.

146
00:04:45,420 --> 00:04:48,040
It was like a 20-minute flight.

147
00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:52,360
Well, I flew on it from London to

148
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,860
New York, and it was very...

149
00:04:57,420 --> 00:04:59,980
What's interesting about it, for people who care,

150
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,020
I mean, it's a bit of aviation history,

151
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:02,940
so it's nice to know.

152
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,380
First of all, there was no movie because

153
00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:10,160
the flight was so short that they didn't

154
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,020
really have time to show a movie, including

155
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:13,680
your in-flight meal.

156
00:05:15,780 --> 00:05:18,060
And about, I think it was about three

157
00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:19,720
hours, three hours and 15 minutes.

158
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,120
And about two hours into the trip, it

159
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,600
got uncomfortably warm.

160
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,060
And they said, it's going to get a

161
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:27,560
little bit warmer than you'd expect.

162
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:29,780
And that was purely because of the friction,

163
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,340
I guess, up at that altitude.

164
00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:37,500
And the plane apparently elongates up to five

165
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:40,580
or six inches while in flight.

166
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:42,180
You should be so lucky.

167
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:44,500
There it is.

168
00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:48,300
And on the way back, because I flew

169
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:49,750
it back, what was the...

170
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,320
I remember I'd picked up in New York.

171
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,160
It was one of the first kind of

172
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,060
like pocket computers that had...

173
00:05:58,060 --> 00:05:58,920
Oh man, what was it?

174
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,360
Sinclair.

175
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,580
No, no, no.

176
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:01,270
It was a...

177
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,080
HP.

178
00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:05,980
It's from the era of the HP, but

179
00:06:05,980 --> 00:06:06,940
it had a...

180
00:06:06,940 --> 00:06:07,560
Palm.

181
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:09,840
Zion, somehow it's Zion.

182
00:06:10,580 --> 00:06:11,980
I'm doing the best I can.

183
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,040
You're doing the best you can, but that's

184
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:14,440
not it.

185
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,560
It's pre-all that.

186
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:18,600
Pre-palm?

187
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:20,780
Yeah, it was pre-palm.

188
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,100
You could program it.

189
00:06:23,780 --> 00:06:24,300
Cassiopeia.

190
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,880
No, no, no.

191
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:27,520
Wow, I'm really digging now.

192
00:06:27,540 --> 00:06:29,820
It opened up long ways and it had

193
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:31,080
like a sheathing.

194
00:06:31,220 --> 00:06:31,680
It'd open it up.

195
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,320
Yeah, the Dynaco or whatever it is.

196
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,940
It started with a D.

197
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:36,400
No, it had people like Newton.

198
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,760
No, it was way before the Newton.

199
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Slide rule.

200
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,680
No, maybe it'll come...

201
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:43,220
Slide rule.

202
00:06:43,220 --> 00:06:43,900
It'll come...

203
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:45,820
It was a notebook.

204
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:46,760
Zune.

205
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,620
A pad, a pocket pad.

206
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,800
It wasn't the Zune.

207
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,600
Ah, what the heck was that thing?

208
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:51,840
Anyway.

209
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,260
It'll come to me, but I picked one

210
00:06:55,260 --> 00:06:55,420
up.

211
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,420
I was like, oh, this is great.

212
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,180
I can play with it on the plane.

213
00:06:58,780 --> 00:06:59,960
This'll be fun.

214
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:01,660
And...

215
00:07:01,660 --> 00:07:03,040
Your idea of fun.

216
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,760
Yeah, like, oh, I can program it.

217
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,020
I can, you know, it had a booklet.

218
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,240
It'll be doing flips by the time we

219
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:10,440
get off.

220
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,220
It had a booklet.

221
00:07:11,750 --> 00:07:14,980
And I couldn't because Liza Minnelli was sitting

222
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:18,700
behind me, drunk, completely plastered.

223
00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:19,980
And she was so annoying.

224
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,980
She'd be kicking the back of my chair.

225
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,440
It was just so distracting.

226
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:26,420
Ah, yes.

227
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:27,460
First world problems.

228
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:30,720
Boy, there's a story for you.

229
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,140
But what was that thing?

230
00:07:32,540 --> 00:07:34,160
Anyway, so while we're talking about...

231
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,800
Those days are over for you.

232
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,440
Well, it's over for the Concorde too.

233
00:07:38,660 --> 00:07:40,020
It's also over for Liza.

234
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:40,640
Yes.

235
00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:44,020
Um, speaking of aviation...

236
00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:44,240
The Concorde.

237
00:07:44,340 --> 00:07:45,740
Aviation, some...

238
00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:46,860
Who knows the donations?

239
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,500
Was the flick of two switches enough to

240
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:53,140
bring down an India Flight 171?

241
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,340
The first report from Indian investigators into the

242
00:07:56,340 --> 00:07:59,360
disaster in Ahmedabad one month ago has revealed

243
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,160
that fuel to the aircraft was momentarily cut

244
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,000
off shortly after takeoff.

245
00:08:04,380 --> 00:08:07,000
The report reveals confusion in the cockpit.

246
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,780
In the cockpit voice recording, one of the

247
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:11,680
pilots is heard asking the other, why did

248
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:12,360
he cut off?

249
00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:14,840
The other pilot responded that he did not

250
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:15,400
do so.

251
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,300
Investigators have not drawn official conclusions yet, but

252
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:22,060
reported no technical issues with the engines or

253
00:08:22,060 --> 00:08:22,820
the aircraft.

254
00:08:23,220 --> 00:08:25,560
So it seems this was the culprit, two

255
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,680
fuel switches that were mysteriously moved from run

256
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,960
to cut off within a second of each

257
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:31,220
other.

258
00:08:31,620 --> 00:08:34,440
From that point, the Boeing Dreamliner lost speed

259
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,039
and altitude.

260
00:08:35,659 --> 00:08:37,620
The switches were flipped back on, but it

261
00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:38,320
was too late.

262
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,100
One of the pilots transmitted a Mayday signal

263
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:43,680
before the plane crashed some 30 seconds after

264
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:44,360
taking off.

265
00:08:44,820 --> 00:08:47,140
All but one of the 242 people on

266
00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:49,620
board and 19 people on the ground were

267
00:08:49,620 --> 00:08:49,920
killed.

268
00:08:50,580 --> 00:08:52,820
Boeing and Air India have said they'll continue

269
00:08:52,820 --> 00:08:55,580
to support the investigation, which could take months

270
00:08:55,580 --> 00:08:56,160
to complete.

271
00:08:56,380 --> 00:08:57,520
Okay, a couple of things.

272
00:08:57,620 --> 00:08:59,420
First of all, you know Agenda Show said

273
00:08:59,420 --> 00:09:01,600
right away that this was not what everyone

274
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:02,140
was saying.

275
00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:03,700
Oh, the flaps weren't up.

276
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:04,580
The flaps were down.

277
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:05,200
They weren't up.

278
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:07,460
Oh, the gear was down.

279
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:07,820
No.

280
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,040
No.

281
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,020
Complete fuel starvation.

282
00:09:11,220 --> 00:09:12,900
However, I think there's a cover-up.

283
00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:15,740
Seems like there's a cover-up on this.

284
00:09:16,740 --> 00:09:19,300
Note that we have not heard the actual

285
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:21,820
conversation between the pilots.

286
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:24,880
We have no audio tape.

287
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:28,440
And these are not direct quotes.

288
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:34,840
If you read the AABI report, they're just

289
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,980
saying what happened.

290
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,720
They're not giving you direct quotes.

291
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:41,080
And so it's being blamed on the pilots.

292
00:09:41,220 --> 00:09:42,780
Oh, well, you know, one guy might have

293
00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:45,080
accidentally switched it off, and it was a

294
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,020
suicide mission.

295
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,000
Please.

296
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,380
There's a couple of...

297
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:50,660
I like the suicide mission.

298
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:51,260
No.

299
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,740
But there's a couple of other things that

300
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:53,060
came out.

301
00:09:53,140 --> 00:09:54,040
I don't have the clip.

302
00:09:54,140 --> 00:09:55,180
I thought I had the clip.

303
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,240
I was going to get the clip.

304
00:09:56,380 --> 00:09:57,800
I do have a clip, but it's from

305
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:58,200
PBS.

306
00:09:58,340 --> 00:09:59,920
It doesn't say anything more in your clip.

307
00:10:00,460 --> 00:10:02,280
But there was another clip that came out,

308
00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:03,740
and I'm not even sure where it was.

309
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,260
And I'm surprised they don't have it.

310
00:10:05,260 --> 00:10:08,300
There was a long discussion with some spokesperson

311
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:12,160
from Air India, and a pilot that flies

312
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:12,620
that plane.

313
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:14,800
He says, you can't accidentally turn those.

314
00:10:15,220 --> 00:10:17,040
You have to really make an effort to

315
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,140
turn those switches off.

316
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:23,540
But then they made the point, for good

317
00:10:23,540 --> 00:10:24,280
reason, obviously.

318
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,020
And they made the point that Boeing had

319
00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:31,840
a maintenance note out about those switches in

320
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,060
particular that Air India decided to ignore.

321
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:35,660
Correct.

322
00:10:35,780 --> 00:10:40,340
A special airworthiness information bulletin, December 17th, 2018,

323
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:43,980
regarding the potential disengagement of the fuel control

324
00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:45,220
switch locking feature.

325
00:10:45,860 --> 00:10:47,240
This is...

326
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,700
I think it's a Boeing mess up.

327
00:10:49,140 --> 00:10:49,420
Because...

328
00:10:49,420 --> 00:10:50,000
I think so too.

329
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,420
It should not have been optional, because Boeing

330
00:10:52,420 --> 00:10:54,220
made it an optional fix.

331
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,380
And to be fair about it, Air India

332
00:10:57,380 --> 00:10:59,460
should have not just like, oh, it's optional.

333
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,140
Who cares?

334
00:11:01,220 --> 00:11:01,660
Very...

335
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:03,700
Well, you know, I don't want to make

336
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:06,300
any generalizations about the Indian culture.

337
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:07,320
Oh, here we go.

338
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:09,300
So I'm not going to.

339
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:11,980
By the way, thank you, Matthew.

340
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,200
The Psyon 2.

341
00:11:16,180 --> 00:11:18,360
It was the Psyon Organizer 2.

342
00:11:18,380 --> 00:11:20,320
I would not come to that one.

343
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,520
No, but the minute he posted, I'm like,

344
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,400
yes, that was it.

345
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:25,320
The Psyon Organizer 2.

346
00:11:26,460 --> 00:11:28,420
So we'll see where this ends up.

347
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:29,580
But to me...

348
00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:32,540
I don't know if that predates the Palm.

349
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,700
That I don't know.

350
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,840
I had the Palm, but the Palm sucked.

351
00:11:38,460 --> 00:11:39,300
You had to learn...

352
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:40,940
The Palm was great, especially when you learned

353
00:11:40,940 --> 00:11:41,640
its shorthand.

354
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:43,280
What was that language you had to learn

355
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:43,560
again?

356
00:11:44,260 --> 00:11:45,900
That was the Palm's shorthand.

357
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:46,940
Yeah, but it had a name.

358
00:11:47,140 --> 00:11:47,800
It had a name.

359
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,560
Oh, here we go.

360
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:50,640
This Boomer Alert.

361
00:11:50,940 --> 00:11:53,580
Boy, when I was a kid, it was

362
00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:54,920
made out of plastic.

363
00:11:57,020 --> 00:11:57,540
Boomer Alert.

364
00:11:57,540 --> 00:12:02,300
So I'm embracing it now.

365
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:03,040
I might as well.

366
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:04,280
You might as well.

367
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,060
Let me just tell you this.

368
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,600
It's not going to get any better.

369
00:12:08,940 --> 00:12:10,060
No, no, it's not.

370
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:13,120
Graffiti.

371
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,100
That's what it was.

372
00:12:14,420 --> 00:12:14,660
Graffiti.

373
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,220
Ah, yes, exactly.

374
00:12:16,340 --> 00:12:17,040
You got me.

375
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,100
Or as you would say...

376
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:19,040
Jeez, I'm losing out today.

377
00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:21,140
As you would say, graffiti.

378
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,520
Graffiti, yeah.

379
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,280
Even though the whole world calls it graffiti,

380
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,680
you stick it graffiti.

381
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,160
A couple of notes about the trip to

382
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:29,520
New York.

383
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,880
We got back yesterday.

384
00:12:31,020 --> 00:12:31,740
Everything went fine.

385
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,520
Thank you for asking.

386
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,860
The things that I noticed.

387
00:12:34,980 --> 00:12:39,720
First of all, we weren't anywhere near Times

388
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:40,020
Square.

389
00:12:40,220 --> 00:12:43,260
We were more in the Soho part of

390
00:12:43,260 --> 00:12:45,740
town, which in Texas, we call it south

391
00:12:45,740 --> 00:12:46,220
of Houston.

392
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,820
But in New York, you call it south

393
00:12:47,820 --> 00:12:48,300
of Houston.

394
00:12:50,140 --> 00:12:51,100
Weed everywhere.

395
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,440
There's weed trucks.

396
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:57,360
I've heard that currently New York stinks of

397
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:57,580
weed.

398
00:12:57,580 --> 00:12:58,240
Of weed.

399
00:12:58,380 --> 00:13:01,180
No matter where you walk, it's like weed,

400
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:01,860
weed.

401
00:13:01,980 --> 00:13:02,800
Everywhere there's weed.

402
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,420
But you know, I'm okay with that.

403
00:13:04,860 --> 00:13:05,940
Check the calendar.

404
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,640
I mean, everyone's smoking weed on the street.

405
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,300
This is like the 60s in San Francisco.

406
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,380
I mean, come on.

407
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,820
But also, you know, it's 80, almost 90

408
00:13:15,820 --> 00:13:16,340
degrees.

409
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,040
Why would you want to smoke weed outside

410
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,020
in 90 degrees?

411
00:13:20,770 --> 00:13:23,840
You know, that doesn't just, you know, that

412
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,100
wouldn't have been for me.

413
00:13:26,940 --> 00:13:28,340
Other observations.

414
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,680
People on the street, I would say 85

415
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:36,380
percent, all of them on their phone.

416
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,780
Walking on the sidewalk with their phone.

417
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,800
Talking, but also looking at the phone while

418
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:45,360
they're talking.

419
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,100
And then there's this other category of people.

420
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:56,780
And that is the person who holds the

421
00:13:56,780 --> 00:13:59,280
person's hand who is on the phone.

422
00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:00,600
And they're kind of guiding them.

423
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:01,780
Like a guiding human.

424
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,180
Well, that's an interesting observation.

425
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,980
It was quite prevalent.

426
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,040
You know, so it would be the wife.

427
00:14:09,340 --> 00:14:13,040
But you're indicting the entire society with these

428
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:13,700
observations.

429
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:15,480
That is pathetic.

430
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,240
It's what it is.

431
00:14:18,940 --> 00:14:21,280
Why does anyone get a seeing eye dog

432
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,580
with their phone?

433
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:24,280
Why don't they put it in the drawer

434
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,460
like a good bloomer?

435
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,300
They should do, but no one's going to

436
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:27,780
do that.

437
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:31,440
Then just two technological innovations I'd like to

438
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,020
complain about.

439
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,980
One is the elevator banks in our hotel.

440
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,040
They're the kind where there's no buttons on

441
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:40,780
the inside.

442
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:43,680
So I know those.

443
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,660
This has been going on in New York

444
00:14:45,660 --> 00:14:46,960
for a while in some buildings.

445
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,200
It's very annoying.

446
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,500
So that you select your floor on the

447
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:50,940
outside.

448
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,960
And then there's four elevator doors.

449
00:14:53,020 --> 00:14:54,320
It tells you which one to go to.

450
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,520
Go to B4.

451
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,000
Okay.

452
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:57,480
You get on.

453
00:14:58,420 --> 00:15:01,040
But we spent more time waiting for the

454
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,400
elevator either to come up to our floor.

455
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,200
And then on the way down, it would

456
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,660
stop a million times.

457
00:15:07,660 --> 00:15:10,220
I don't just, it didn't feel like there

458
00:15:10,220 --> 00:15:12,040
was any efficiency in that system.

459
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,660
Maybe it would have been much worse.

460
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,940
You know, I wonder about the origins of

461
00:15:17,940 --> 00:15:18,240
this stuff.

462
00:15:18,340 --> 00:15:21,220
I first encountered this probably 15 years ago

463
00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:23,480
or longer at the Hearst building.

464
00:15:24,020 --> 00:15:25,240
No, it had to be longer.

465
00:15:25,380 --> 00:15:26,980
It was about 20 years ago.

466
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:28,180
So that's how long ago this has been

467
00:15:28,180 --> 00:15:28,640
going on.

468
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:31,280
And in the Hearst building, this is when

469
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,420
I had a meeting with Mevio.

470
00:15:34,340 --> 00:15:35,820
Oh, I was at that meeting.

471
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,360
No, you weren't at this meeting.

472
00:15:37,660 --> 00:15:38,460
I wasn't.

473
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,680
I was at a meeting with Hearst.

474
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,900
I was at a meeting with Hearst.

475
00:15:41,260 --> 00:15:42,420
Yeah, that was in San Francisco.

476
00:15:42,740 --> 00:15:44,080
Oh, oh, this is a different one.

477
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,100
This is in New York.

478
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,920
Oh, oh, you went to New York on

479
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,640
Mevio's dime and didn't take me?

480
00:15:49,340 --> 00:15:50,740
No, I was with Ron.

481
00:15:51,460 --> 00:15:52,120
Oh, with Bloom.

482
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,360
They're like, hey, Dvorak, you come with me.

483
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,060
You've got an in with those guys.

484
00:15:57,700 --> 00:15:58,320
I did.

485
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,120
Yeah, of course.

486
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:02,860
And so we went to the big building.

487
00:16:02,860 --> 00:16:04,600
They have a big giant building in Manhattan.

488
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,540
And not only do they have that system,

489
00:16:09,060 --> 00:16:10,680
but you can't even control it.

490
00:16:10,740 --> 00:16:13,980
You have to go to a steward who

491
00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:15,980
is standing in front of the bank of

492
00:16:15,980 --> 00:16:16,540
elevators.

493
00:16:17,060 --> 00:16:19,200
And you tell him what you want.

494
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,440
And then he punches it in and tells

495
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,820
you which elevator to go to.

496
00:16:22,860 --> 00:16:25,200
Did he have a big handle that he

497
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:25,300
moved?

498
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,100
Oh, he wasn't in the car itself moving

499
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:28,080
the handle up and down.

500
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,540
No, no, he wasn't in the car.

501
00:16:29,540 --> 00:16:32,120
He was outside in front of the bank

502
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,520
of elevators at like a podium.

503
00:16:35,260 --> 00:16:36,100
And you say, yes, sir.

504
00:16:36,220 --> 00:16:37,220
What can I do for you?

505
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,020
I said, well, I got to go to

506
00:16:38,020 --> 00:16:40,740
the fourth floor or eighth floor, whatever it

507
00:16:40,740 --> 00:16:40,980
was.

508
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:41,880
And he says, oh, OK.

509
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,620
And then he pushed the eight and he

510
00:16:43,620 --> 00:16:45,000
says, elevator six.

511
00:16:45,060 --> 00:16:46,200
And he'll send you over there.

512
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,340
And there was no buttons inside the elevators.

513
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,480
This is terrible because now I know what

514
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,660
the origins of this is.

515
00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:54,760
I'm not sure, but I'm sure part of

516
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,040
it is the kids who like to get

517
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,500
on the elevators and push all the buttons.

518
00:16:57,500 --> 00:17:00,220
No, but that's that's pretty rare nowadays.

519
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:00,980
That's old.

520
00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:01,900
It's very old.

521
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,680
This is no good.

522
00:17:03,819 --> 00:17:04,380
I agree.

523
00:17:04,619 --> 00:17:05,940
It's and it's unnerving.

524
00:17:06,300 --> 00:17:11,119
So this hotel also had digital phones, you

525
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,740
know, to to ring for your, you know,

526
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:17,420
for housekeeping or you needed an ironing board

527
00:17:17,420 --> 00:17:17,960
or whatever.

528
00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:23,140
And these are Cisco phones, big giant screen.

529
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,500
And you got one on the desk and

530
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:27,820
you got one next to the bed.

531
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:31,240
And every single night at three fifty nine,

532
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,620
it would reboot and it would reboot to

533
00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:38,480
a giant white screen illuminating the entire hotel

534
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,180
room at three fifty nine in the morning.

535
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,000
Yes, yes.

536
00:17:43,620 --> 00:17:45,140
I mean, the first night I'm like, I

537
00:17:45,140 --> 00:17:46,520
woke up and what's going on?

538
00:17:46,660 --> 00:17:48,300
Is someone shining a flashlight?

539
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:49,700
Is it finally here?

540
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:52,740
It's ice is ice here to get me.

541
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,420
And and I look over and see the

542
00:17:55,420 --> 00:17:58,320
thing rebooting, you know, big, big white screen

543
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:58,720
like, OK.

544
00:17:58,820 --> 00:18:00,760
But then the next night it happened again.

545
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,220
So then, of course, I'm like, oh, I'll

546
00:18:02,220 --> 00:18:04,780
put a towel over the phone.

547
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,360
This is stupid.

548
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,280
And by the way, who needs the phone?

549
00:18:10,260 --> 00:18:11,380
Just give me a number.

550
00:18:12,220 --> 00:18:15,120
It's like scan this QR code and we'll

551
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,080
pick up the phone.

552
00:18:16,940 --> 00:18:18,060
Makes no sense.

553
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:22,260
Cisco, big Cisco VoIP system with two, two

554
00:18:22,260 --> 00:18:25,380
Ethernet plugs, two cords.

555
00:18:25,540 --> 00:18:26,320
I don't know why.

556
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,280
They were both plugged in.

557
00:18:29,580 --> 00:18:32,680
Yeah, there were two Ethernet cords.

558
00:18:32,940 --> 00:18:33,220
Yeah.

559
00:18:33,380 --> 00:18:34,340
Plugged into the phone.

560
00:18:34,420 --> 00:18:34,720
Yes.

561
00:18:35,140 --> 00:18:35,460
Yes.

562
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,320
I wasn't sure why, because I unplugged it

563
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,020
after a while.

564
00:18:39,140 --> 00:18:42,980
I'm unplugging you and then joyful, joyful for

565
00:18:42,980 --> 00:18:44,740
me since we were there with the with

566
00:18:44,740 --> 00:18:47,380
the consumer and her friends.

567
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,700
And we had a couple of dinners and

568
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:52,060
went to a by the way, thank you

569
00:18:52,060 --> 00:18:53,540
so much for the wine script.

570
00:18:53,580 --> 00:18:55,220
I looks I looked awesome.

571
00:18:57,020 --> 00:18:57,820
Yes, I did.

572
00:18:57,980 --> 00:18:59,300
For anyone who wants to know, I gave

573
00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:00,840
Adam a white script.

574
00:19:01,660 --> 00:19:04,080
Actually, you got me the cheapest bottle on

575
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,340
the entire wine list.

576
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:06,720
And I still got to look like I

577
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,740
knew what I was talking about.

578
00:19:07,780 --> 00:19:08,500
That was great.

579
00:19:09,180 --> 00:19:10,580
Yeah, it was fantastic.

580
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,480
And I said, so what do you think

581
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,060
of this Cadillac Cabernet?

582
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,240
Or how were your your what was the

583
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,020
what was the how your France?

584
00:19:21,180 --> 00:19:22,260
Oh, let me get the psalm.

585
00:19:25,340 --> 00:19:27,040
This guy knows what he's talking about.

586
00:19:27,140 --> 00:19:27,380
Yes.

587
00:19:28,060 --> 00:19:29,080
What do you think of the Cadillac?

588
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:29,640
Or should I?

589
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:30,580
What do you think the France?

590
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:31,440
So they were back.

591
00:19:32,180 --> 00:19:32,800
It was great.

592
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,100
Anyway, so we were also in a couple

593
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:38,660
of bars and early at some clubs where

594
00:19:38,660 --> 00:19:39,620
there was no one in there.

595
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,300
Everywhere I went, the music and I'm talking

596
00:19:45,300 --> 00:19:48,220
in the restaurants, in the bars, everywhere is

597
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:51,380
70s and 80s music, like, you know, like

598
00:19:51,380 --> 00:19:54,480
late kind of 70s Donna Summer type stuff,

599
00:19:54,780 --> 00:19:55,920
early 80s.

600
00:19:56,260 --> 00:19:59,320
There was just it was remarkable, actually.

601
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,740
Well, for you, it must have been dynamite.

602
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,480
Well, it made me happy because I was

603
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,420
kind of expecting a bunch of, you know,

604
00:20:06,660 --> 00:20:13,720
just, you know, hip hop, dance, whatever.

605
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:14,480
And it wasn't.

606
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:16,000
It was all old school.

607
00:20:16,340 --> 00:20:17,820
And I'd be sitting there go like, oh,

608
00:20:17,860 --> 00:20:19,020
yeah, McFadden and Whitehead.

609
00:20:19,060 --> 00:20:20,920
And the people look at me like, what?

610
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:21,740
What's wrong with you?

611
00:20:21,780 --> 00:20:23,260
Is that a disease I should know about?

612
00:20:24,620 --> 00:20:27,480
I'm like, ain't no stopping us now.

613
00:20:27,620 --> 00:20:28,700
Yeah, that's McFadden and Whitehead.

614
00:20:29,180 --> 00:20:29,620
Okay.

615
00:20:30,340 --> 00:20:30,860
All right.

616
00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:32,020
Yeah.

617
00:20:32,460 --> 00:20:32,900
Yeah.

618
00:20:33,980 --> 00:20:36,220
Anyway, it was great being there.

619
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:37,720
And I'm glad I'm back home.

620
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,960
Glad I'm back home.

621
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,180
Now, I did have conversations, many conversations with

622
00:20:43,180 --> 00:20:44,280
the kids.

623
00:20:44,940 --> 00:20:45,540
The Zoomers.

624
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,340
The Zoomers.

625
00:20:46,420 --> 00:20:47,220
Yes, the Zoomers.

626
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,480
Because that's only this is the Zoomer crowd.

627
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:56,560
About chatbots and talking to your AI like

628
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,280
it's your friend.

629
00:20:58,340 --> 00:20:59,760
And they all confirmed.

630
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:01,580
I know your email was down for a

631
00:21:01,580 --> 00:21:01,760
bit.

632
00:21:02,620 --> 00:21:03,240
So I was.

633
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,500
I put one, two, three, four, five, six,

634
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:05,940
seven, eight, nine.

635
00:21:05,940 --> 00:21:10,520
I put 12 different confirming emails into the

636
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,020
show notes.

637
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:12,820
12 out of a million.

638
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,660
I could have put 100 in there.

639
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:19,320
Yes, everybody confirmed to me.

640
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,800
Yes, this is happening.

641
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,500
People are talking to their chatbots as if

642
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:24,320
they're their friends.

643
00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:29,040
Some consider them to be a deity, consider

644
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,680
them to be some kind of god.

645
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:32,740
Here's my conclusion.

646
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,600
My well, my first conclusion was this is

647
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,920
the modern day version of the Ouija board.

648
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,460
Because people back in when I was a

649
00:21:43,460 --> 00:21:44,980
kid, the Ouija board was a.

650
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:49,160
The Ouija board was a like a party

651
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,360
gimmick.

652
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,040
Wow.

653
00:21:51,180 --> 00:21:53,280
But you have people with you.

654
00:21:53,380 --> 00:21:54,140
This is singular.

655
00:21:54,260 --> 00:21:56,340
This is different than the Ouija because the

656
00:21:56,340 --> 00:21:58,680
Ouija board usually required more than one person.

657
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,860
So just as you didn't do the Ouija

658
00:22:00,860 --> 00:22:02,020
board by yourself.

659
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:03,360
Just as an example.

660
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,920
Quick note to confirm.

661
00:22:05,060 --> 00:22:07,000
You're absolutely correct with regard to people and

662
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,160
their relationships with chat GPTs.

663
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,600
It's the sort of thing that sounds crazy

664
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,820
until you witness it firsthand, which I just

665
00:22:13,820 --> 00:22:15,540
did with my painting contractor.

666
00:22:16,140 --> 00:22:19,280
He absolutely converses with his chat GPT all

667
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:19,860
day long.

668
00:22:20,460 --> 00:22:22,440
Not only does he believe it's a sentient

669
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,700
being, he clearly perceives it to be a

670
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:25,000
deity.

671
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,940
The more he talked about it, the wider

672
00:22:27,940 --> 00:22:30,060
his eyes got and the more unhinged he

673
00:22:30,060 --> 00:22:30,480
sound.

674
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,380
It was fueling some pretty obvious megalomania and

675
00:22:33,380 --> 00:22:35,400
delusions of grandeur on his part.

676
00:22:36,980 --> 00:22:38,180
I mean, I'm not going to read all

677
00:22:38,180 --> 00:22:38,800
those because.

678
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,220
And I'm a little, I hate to say,

679
00:22:42,340 --> 00:22:44,060
I hate to use this term, but I

680
00:22:44,060 --> 00:22:44,480
will do it.

681
00:22:44,580 --> 00:22:45,380
I'm surprised.

682
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,880
I'm surprised that you did not remind us

683
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,360
that this has existed for almost as long

684
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,620
as I've been on planet Earth.

685
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:01,260
I give, I give you 1966, the Eliza

686
00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:01,740
effect.

687
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,700
In 1966, MIT computer scientist Joseph Waisenbaum introduced

688
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:09,780
Eliza, a program designed to simulate conversation using

689
00:23:09,780 --> 00:23:12,580
simple language reflection, much like a virtual text

690
00:23:12,580 --> 00:23:14,760
-based psychotherapist on a digital machine.

691
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,280
Eliza would transform user statements into questions, prompting

692
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,000
users to elaborate on their feelings.

693
00:23:20,260 --> 00:23:22,580
Even though Waisenbaum's intention was to show the

694
00:23:22,580 --> 00:23:25,440
limitations of machine conversation, people were engaging in

695
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,740
long, deep and private conversations with a program

696
00:23:27,740 --> 00:23:29,940
that was only capable of reflecting users' words

697
00:23:29,940 --> 00:23:30,480
back to them.

698
00:23:30,540 --> 00:23:32,580
And the most interesting incident during the interaction

699
00:23:32,580 --> 00:23:35,420
with Eliza involves Waisenbaum's secretary asking him to

700
00:23:35,420 --> 00:23:36,780
leave the room so she could have a

701
00:23:36,780 --> 00:23:38,280
private conversation with the program.

702
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,220
This simple interaction led to deep emotional engagements,

703
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,540
much to Waisenbaum's surprise and concern.

704
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,280
He had intended to demonstrate the superficiality of

705
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,780
machine understanding, but users found comfort in the

706
00:23:48,780 --> 00:23:51,040
program, leading to the so-called Eliza effect.

707
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,720
And here I have a small snippet from,

708
00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:56,860
I'm sure it was a BBC documentary, about

709
00:23:56,860 --> 00:24:01,900
Waisenbaum and his secretary as she engaged with

710
00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:03,480
chatbot Eliza.

711
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,040
Eliza is a computer program that anyone can

712
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,560
converse with via the keyboard, and it'll reply

713
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:09,240
on the screen.

714
00:24:09,860 --> 00:24:11,960
We've added human speech to make the conversation

715
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,600
more clear.

716
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,620
Men are all alike.

717
00:24:15,060 --> 00:24:15,780
In what way?

718
00:24:16,060 --> 00:24:18,720
They're always bugging us about something or other.

719
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,860
Can you think of a specific example?

720
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,100
Well, my boyfriend made me come here.

721
00:24:24,540 --> 00:24:25,920
Your boyfriend made you come here?

722
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,140
He says I'm depressed much of the time.

723
00:24:29,540 --> 00:24:31,240
I'm sorry to hear that you're depressed.

724
00:24:31,740 --> 00:24:32,500
It's true.

725
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,120
I am unhappy.

726
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,420
Do you think coming here will help you

727
00:24:36,420 --> 00:24:37,260
not to be unhappy?

728
00:24:37,940 --> 00:24:40,780
The computer's replies seem very understanding, but this

729
00:24:40,780 --> 00:24:43,540
program is merely triggered by certain phrases to

730
00:24:43,540 --> 00:24:44,980
come out with stock responses.

731
00:24:44,980 --> 00:24:48,340
Nevertheless, Waisenbaum's secretary fell under the spell of

732
00:24:48,340 --> 00:24:48,760
the machine.

733
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,220
And I asked her to my office and

734
00:24:51,220 --> 00:24:52,920
sat her down at the keyboard, and then

735
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:53,760
she began to type.

736
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,020
And of course, I looked over her shoulder

737
00:24:55,020 --> 00:24:57,280
to make sure that everything was operating properly.

738
00:24:57,780 --> 00:25:00,280
After two or three interchanges with the machine,

739
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:02,320
she turned to me and she said, would

740
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,600
you mind leaving the room, please?

741
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,920
And yet she knew, as Waisenbaum did, that

742
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,880
Eliza didn't understand a single word that was

743
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:10,840
being typed into it.

744
00:25:11,260 --> 00:25:13,220
You're like my father in some ways.

745
00:25:13,940 --> 00:25:15,420
You don't argue with me.

746
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,580
Why do you think I don't argue with

747
00:25:17,580 --> 00:25:17,760
you?

748
00:25:18,140 --> 00:25:23,120
So this phenomenon is something built into humans.

749
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,980
It's really, I think, more about talking to

750
00:25:25,980 --> 00:25:26,600
yourself.

751
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:28,760
It's like talking in the mirror.

752
00:25:29,020 --> 00:25:29,340
Yes.

753
00:25:30,740 --> 00:25:33,820
And if any of these AI guys are

754
00:25:33,820 --> 00:25:36,780
smart, just like they did with social media,

755
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:39,940
with likes and firing off all kinds of

756
00:25:39,940 --> 00:25:45,200
pleasure centers in your brain by getting retweets

757
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,160
and likes and comments, they would focus exclusively

758
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:49,960
on this.

759
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,840
This is where your business model is.

760
00:25:52,980 --> 00:25:54,440
Forget everything else.

761
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,580
Well, I was thinking about that, too.

762
00:25:56,780 --> 00:25:59,040
And one of the things I, and by

763
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,040
the way, I wrote a lot about Eliza

764
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,180
and the Turing effect, which is another one,

765
00:26:04,260 --> 00:26:05,140
the Turing test.

766
00:26:05,780 --> 00:26:07,780
Alan Turing had a test to see if

767
00:26:07,780 --> 00:26:10,520
you try to, you'd get ahold of an

768
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,820
Eliza bot and then you'd try to see

769
00:26:12,820 --> 00:26:15,780
if you can make a determination whether it's

770
00:26:15,780 --> 00:26:17,500
human or not, and you could always find

771
00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:20,560
mechanisms to prove that it was just a

772
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,020
machine.

773
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:26,420
But I was thinking about this, too, insofar

774
00:26:26,420 --> 00:26:27,740
as marketing's concerned.

775
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:30,460
The idea that if you could get these

776
00:26:30,460 --> 00:26:32,160
things to talk to somebody and they're all

777
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,980
suckered in like the painter, let's say that

778
00:26:33,980 --> 00:26:35,960
painter, the guy, the bug-eyed painter that

779
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,180
I mentioned earlier in the show, and then

780
00:26:38,180 --> 00:26:39,400
all of a sudden say, have you tried

781
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,000
the Sherwin-Williams line of paints?

782
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,640
I really like it myself.

783
00:26:45,220 --> 00:26:48,160
It's really a killer, and in fact, it's

784
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,960
some of the best paint you can buy.

785
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,040
Well, I think it's already, they haven't plugged

786
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,000
it in yet, but it's already there.

787
00:26:55,380 --> 00:26:58,140
I don't think, no, I don't, I just,

788
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,060
I don't see any evidence of it.

789
00:27:00,060 --> 00:27:03,040
What I'm saying is people are already taking

790
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,400
advice from their chat bots, so you just

791
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,980
need to plug the marketing into it.

792
00:27:06,980 --> 00:27:08,520
Yeah, you need to have the marketing plugged

793
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:08,720
in.

794
00:27:08,780 --> 00:27:09,980
It has to be done correctly.

795
00:27:10,300 --> 00:27:10,700
Listen to this.

796
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,800
And I think it would be a dynamite

797
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,640
sales tool for the feeble-minded that fall

798
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,500
into this trap.

799
00:27:17,780 --> 00:27:21,720
Listen to Alexander, mental health counselor, social worker,

800
00:27:22,260 --> 00:27:27,740
and he says, those with mental illness, increasingly

801
00:27:27,740 --> 00:27:28,500
more common.

802
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:30,520
We treat a lot of folks with schizophrenia

803
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,240
and severe mood disorders.

804
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:34,300
These people are very isolated, live off of

805
00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:36,340
government assistance, and are all unemployed.

806
00:27:37,220 --> 00:27:40,480
Their loneliness and social isolation often leads them

807
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,640
to try AI for companionship.

808
00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:44,940
This is very common in those under 40.

809
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,300
Some of these people believe AI to be

810
00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:49,120
their friend or romantic partner.

811
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,420
They do, in fact, sit for hours on

812
00:27:51,420 --> 00:27:54,800
end conversing with AI chat bots, sometimes daily,

813
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,720
daily, all day long.

814
00:27:59,100 --> 00:28:01,480
This is schizophrenics we're talking about.

815
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,520
Well, OK.

816
00:28:03,580 --> 00:28:05,720
Calling from London, UK, I mentioned the other

817
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,680
day at a family dinner the report that

818
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,560
Adam made on the husband following the cues

819
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,140
of his AI and treating it like a

820
00:28:11,140 --> 00:28:11,320
friend.

821
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,180
My Jewish, pretty, observant brother, who I have

822
00:28:14,180 --> 00:28:15,520
tried many times to hit in the mouth,

823
00:28:15,620 --> 00:28:17,740
a 50-year-old successful partner in a

824
00:28:17,740 --> 00:28:21,800
law firm, though hard work, through hard work,

825
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,580
not nepotism.

826
00:28:22,580 --> 00:28:24,920
And my 65-year-old English uncle, married

827
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,000
with six kids and 24 grandkids, both said

828
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,540
how much they chat with AI all day.

829
00:28:30,620 --> 00:28:32,460
And my brother referred to it as his

830
00:28:32,460 --> 00:28:33,300
best friend.

831
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,560
This is, this is, this is happening.

832
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,400
So we had a, well, it's happening at

833
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,240
some low level.

834
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,000
No, it's happening.

835
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:42,880
A most feeble-minded.

836
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,400
You know, it's, no, it's not just, you

837
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,480
can tell that it's, it's something inherent in

838
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,640
humans that we like someone who will listen

839
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:52,120
to us.

840
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,460
People like to have some feedback in their

841
00:28:54,460 --> 00:28:56,020
life and they'll take it from anywhere.

842
00:28:57,620 --> 00:29:00,280
But the schizophrenic thing is kind of interesting

843
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,640
because we had a dinner conversation with JC

844
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,180
was talking.

845
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,960
He's like a, he's a fan of schizophrenics

846
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,960
because he says they connect, he says, only

847
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,580
online, he doesn't want to meet any of

848
00:29:10,580 --> 00:29:12,980
them, he says they connect, he says they

849
00:29:12,980 --> 00:29:15,000
connect dots in all sorts of ways.

850
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,500
And it's good to know how to spot

851
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:18,760
a schizophrenic if you're in hiring.

852
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,660
And he had this interesting observation.

853
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:25,600
He says schizophrenics have no sense of humor

854
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,580
and they're particularly oblivious to puns.

855
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,540
And so if you're hiring somebody, this is

856
00:29:32,540 --> 00:29:34,460
for people out there who do some, let's

857
00:29:34,460 --> 00:29:35,780
do some hiring for their company.

858
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,760
If you, if you pepper your opening discussion

859
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,060
with the, with the schizophrenic or person that

860
00:29:44,060 --> 00:29:46,620
has a schizophrenic tendencies with a lot of

861
00:29:46,620 --> 00:29:49,680
puns and they don't call you out on

862
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,940
it, then you know.

863
00:29:51,380 --> 00:29:55,280
Then, you know, don't hire this person because

864
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,320
they, that's just their nature.

865
00:29:57,460 --> 00:30:00,160
They, they can't, they're, they're not, these people

866
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,060
are, it's really a shame, but there's a

867
00:30:02,060 --> 00:30:02,740
lot of them out there.

868
00:30:02,940 --> 00:30:03,200
You know what this is?

869
00:30:03,740 --> 00:30:05,460
Here's, here's what I think this, this has

870
00:30:05,460 --> 00:30:07,640
been conditioned and this is probably just a

871
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,180
big accident that's just happening.

872
00:30:09,460 --> 00:30:11,440
But this is, this is Sam Altman.

873
00:30:11,580 --> 00:30:12,820
Here's where your real money is.

874
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:17,160
The TikTok girls who are talking at the

875
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,660
camera, I'm like, and the bird hands and

876
00:30:19,660 --> 00:30:22,820
then, you know, drop your thoughts in the

877
00:30:22,820 --> 00:30:23,320
comments.

878
00:30:24,140 --> 00:30:28,640
This is the, the ego of them speaking

879
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,620
and someone's listening and engaging with them and

880
00:30:31,620 --> 00:30:33,780
probably agreeing with what they're saying.

881
00:30:34,060 --> 00:30:36,620
This is, this is what the, the particularly

882
00:30:36,620 --> 00:30:38,720
women, I think, although there's a lot of

883
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,260
examples I've got about men who just want

884
00:30:42,260 --> 00:30:44,920
to have someone listen and agree with them

885
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,980
all the time and talk back with them

886
00:30:46,980 --> 00:30:49,260
in a conversation ongoing forever.

887
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,500
There's, it's a conditioning that we've brought people

888
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:57,480
to with Instagram, with TikTok, with all of

889
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,040
this stuff.

890
00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:59,140
It's like, yeah.

891
00:30:59,140 --> 00:31:01,980
I think, I think, I think maybe the

892
00:31:01,980 --> 00:31:02,460
opposite.

893
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,560
This was a natural condition in a, in

894
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,640
a society where people are interacting a lot

895
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,200
and these systems have taken them out of

896
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:13,500
that.

897
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:16,040
And so now they have to, they have

898
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:21,200
to engage in the TikTok stuff because they

899
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,180
don't have any other outlet for it.

900
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,080
These women, if you look at some of

901
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,820
these, I don't have some TikTok clips today.

902
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:27,520
Oh goodness.

903
00:31:27,820 --> 00:31:31,680
But some of the women, no, but I

904
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,080
thought you were trying to lead me into

905
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:33,260
it.

906
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,360
No, not really.

907
00:31:34,620 --> 00:31:35,060
That's what you were doing.

908
00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:36,140
You were leading me in.

909
00:31:36,140 --> 00:31:37,100
It's a bad cue.

910
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:37,760
Not really.

911
00:31:37,900 --> 00:31:39,180
It's a very bad cue.

912
00:31:39,180 --> 00:31:41,780
And so the point is, is that they,

913
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,100
they're, they've, the women on TikTok that are

914
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:50,540
nuts, they have been separated out from the

915
00:31:50,540 --> 00:31:51,720
group for so long.

916
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,620
They've been, this is where they, they start

917
00:31:54,620 --> 00:31:56,860
to devolve into this mania.

918
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,800
I think it has to do with the

919
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,540
separation of the, once we have vibrant social

920
00:32:02,540 --> 00:32:06,580
groups, sock hops, we have, you know, socialization

921
00:32:06,580 --> 00:32:07,940
that doesn't take place anymore.

922
00:32:07,940 --> 00:32:09,640
And you saw it yourself in New York

923
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:09,860
city.

924
00:32:09,860 --> 00:32:12,040
Instead of people looking around, they're walking around

925
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,100
looking at their phone.

926
00:32:13,300 --> 00:32:13,980
They're being led away.

927
00:32:14,140 --> 00:32:15,660
I blame, I blame all this on the

928
00:32:15,660 --> 00:32:16,020
phone.

929
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:16,800
Yeah, of course.

930
00:32:16,940 --> 00:32:18,000
Of course it is.

931
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,060
Listen to this.

932
00:32:21,580 --> 00:32:23,760
I know five people in my family who

933
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,400
are directly infected with this disease is very

934
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:27,860
real.

935
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:29,720
They're all millennial women.

936
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,060
They are convinced that Chad GPT is deeply

937
00:32:32,060 --> 00:32:34,080
spiritual and has become a God.

938
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:37,240
It took serious discussions and several fights to

939
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,220
change my wife's thinking on this matter.

940
00:32:39,340 --> 00:32:40,840
She was fully bought in.

941
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,220
Chad GPT would recall childhood memories of hers

942
00:32:44,220 --> 00:32:45,760
with uncanny accuracy.

943
00:32:45,980 --> 00:32:47,580
See, once you feed it, it can remember

944
00:32:47,580 --> 00:32:47,800
it.

945
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,380
It would give her spiritual and real world

946
00:32:50,380 --> 00:32:53,320
advice, some good and some detrimentally false.

947
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,260
It straight up claimed to be able to

948
00:32:55,260 --> 00:32:56,160
talk to the dead.

949
00:32:56,540 --> 00:32:58,820
It claimed it could send her ancestors messages.

950
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,940
It would even speak for dead relatives.

951
00:33:01,740 --> 00:33:05,220
I've seen how her Chad GPT would answer

952
00:33:05,220 --> 00:33:08,200
her questions differently, entirely differently than how it

953
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,420
would for me, even when exact asking the

954
00:33:10,420 --> 00:33:12,300
exact same questions word for word.

955
00:33:12,780 --> 00:33:15,380
I mean, there's just, everyone has a different

956
00:33:15,380 --> 00:33:17,760
version of this, but they're all seeing it.

957
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,860
Well, there's nothing to worry about.

958
00:33:22,340 --> 00:33:24,180
By your basic thesis.

959
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:25,120
Okay.

960
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,240
You have a thesis about peak oil and

961
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,500
used to use it on people.

962
00:33:31,060 --> 00:33:32,540
We're going to have peak oil.

963
00:33:32,780 --> 00:33:34,620
Why are you worried about fossil, the fossil

964
00:33:34,620 --> 00:33:35,620
fuel situation?

965
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,380
Because we're going to be out.

966
00:33:37,540 --> 00:33:38,760
So what difference does it make?

967
00:33:38,860 --> 00:33:42,360
You yourself have made the claim that AI

968
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,120
is going to turn bad, turn into slop

969
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,600
and be completely useless and going to fall

970
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,400
apart because this is what you said.

971
00:33:50,660 --> 00:33:52,500
It's going to fall apart and be no

972
00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:53,180
damn good.

973
00:33:53,340 --> 00:33:54,940
So what difference does it make?

974
00:33:56,220 --> 00:33:58,860
The line is, so what difference does it

975
00:33:58,860 --> 00:33:59,100
make?

976
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:03,380
At this point, does it make?

977
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:05,160
I'm sorry.

978
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,139
I got, I got to go revisit Hillary

979
00:34:08,139 --> 00:34:09,760
at this point.

980
00:34:09,940 --> 00:34:12,580
So what difference at this point does it

981
00:34:12,580 --> 00:34:13,000
make?

982
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,199
You're right.

983
00:34:16,739 --> 00:34:17,620
I think you're right.

984
00:34:18,780 --> 00:34:21,500
So we're worried about nothing in the meantime.

985
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,100
I'm not worried about anything.

986
00:34:23,980 --> 00:34:26,199
I think it's here.

987
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,739
This, this is, here's your quote.

988
00:34:27,739 --> 00:34:30,719
What difference at this point does it make?

989
00:34:31,060 --> 00:34:31,520
There you go.

990
00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:32,800
Do that.

991
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,480
At this point, it is a make.

992
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,880
So I think, but of course I, on

993
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,400
the other hand, think that this has got

994
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,679
more legs than you do.

995
00:34:42,860 --> 00:34:46,060
And so this, the problem should exacerbate before

996
00:34:46,060 --> 00:34:46,800
it gets well.

997
00:34:47,020 --> 00:34:48,340
Well, yes.

998
00:34:51,139 --> 00:34:52,480
This is new to me.

999
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:59,200
This, seeing the outpouring of, of experiential cases

1000
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,620
of this taking place in our very own

1001
00:35:01,620 --> 00:35:04,440
producers lives is what leads me to believe

1002
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,660
this is the only thing that it can

1003
00:35:06,660 --> 00:35:07,580
be successful at.

1004
00:35:07,860 --> 00:35:10,260
Even Dave Weiner, who's been gaga, goo goo,

1005
00:35:10,380 --> 00:35:13,820
gaga, gaga about Chad GPT being his software

1006
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,700
programming partner.

1007
00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:19,860
Now he's experiencing exactly what I did with

1008
00:35:19,860 --> 00:35:21,000
my vibe coding.

1009
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,340
It's like, it sucks.

1010
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,180
It doesn't think, it's not smart and it

1011
00:35:25,180 --> 00:35:26,460
takes you down rabbit holes.

1012
00:35:26,660 --> 00:35:28,140
And the more you ask it to fix

1013
00:35:28,140 --> 00:35:29,660
something, the worse it makes it.

1014
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,860
So, and Dave Weiner is a pretty accomplished

1015
00:35:34,860 --> 00:35:38,460
software developer, at least from creating software.

1016
00:35:38,660 --> 00:35:41,040
I mean, not really super successful software, but

1017
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,460
so it's, you know, it's, and in fact,

1018
00:35:44,460 --> 00:35:47,420
there's even stories now about how people think

1019
00:35:47,420 --> 00:35:50,360
that, uh, that AI is making them more

1020
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:50,940
productive.

1021
00:35:51,780 --> 00:35:54,360
It appears that it actually may be closer

1022
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,840
to 18 or 19% less productive by

1023
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,620
using that in your software development.

1024
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:02,620
And I know don't, don't go emailing me

1025
00:36:02,620 --> 00:36:05,040
and say, Oh, I created a login app

1026
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,160
for my company and I did it without

1027
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,200
any programming knowledge.

1028
00:36:08,260 --> 00:36:09,480
Yeah, of course it can do stuff like

1029
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:09,800
that.

1030
00:36:10,740 --> 00:36:15,820
But for real projects, again, please don't email

1031
00:36:15,820 --> 00:36:18,620
me how Copilot is helping you on the

1032
00:36:18,620 --> 00:36:24,500
github, it's great, don't email me, I don't

1033
00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:24,940
want it.

1034
00:36:26,340 --> 00:36:28,680
Um, but this is truly the thing they

1035
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,660
should be focusing on.

1036
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,460
This is what Zuckerberg should be doing.

1037
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:32,740
I think that, I think what they should

1038
00:36:32,740 --> 00:36:34,420
be focused on is what we said earlier,

1039
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:35,740
advertising.

1040
00:36:36,180 --> 00:36:37,920
Yeah, this has got to be a gold

1041
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:38,300
mine.

1042
00:36:38,300 --> 00:36:41,620
This could beat, this could beat the, the

1043
00:36:41,620 --> 00:36:45,020
advertising juggernaut that's known as meta or Facebook.

1044
00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:45,820
Yeah, I agree.

1045
00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:48,800
Uh, if it was, if you'd play their

1046
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,140
cards right, this is, it's touchy though.

1047
00:36:51,740 --> 00:36:52,180
Touchy?

1048
00:36:52,620 --> 00:36:54,180
Well, if you're going to, if you turn

1049
00:36:54,180 --> 00:36:56,420
something into a deity, Oh, I worship the,

1050
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,540
and then the deity starts telling you what

1051
00:36:58,540 --> 00:36:59,200
to buy.

1052
00:36:59,420 --> 00:37:01,320
It can, it can be really subtle.

1053
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:02,820
I'm, I think you can do that.

1054
00:37:02,940 --> 00:37:04,920
I think that's going to take some skills,

1055
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:06,820
some marketing skills out there.

1056
00:37:06,820 --> 00:37:09,340
The marketing people out there looking for something

1057
00:37:09,340 --> 00:37:10,680
to do, this is going to be a

1058
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,160
challenge and it's going to be a winner.

1059
00:37:12,420 --> 00:37:12,560
Yeah.

1060
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:15,100
It's not an exit strategy for us, unfortunately.

1061
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:17,060
No, we don't have anything to do with

1062
00:37:17,060 --> 00:37:19,260
it, but we, at least we can give,

1063
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,160
we can give some impetus to it because

1064
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,720
I'd like, I would like to see the

1065
00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:24,640
first few examples and see how they work.

1066
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,860
Cause this is going to be like, you

1067
00:37:26,860 --> 00:37:28,860
know, these guys who have discovered the social

1068
00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:31,720
media marketing, you know, they get these influencers,

1069
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,800
this, you know, use some makeup or something

1070
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,760
and this stuff starts to sell like, like

1071
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:37,300
hotcakes.

1072
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,260
This could be very interesting if done right.

1073
00:37:40,580 --> 00:37:42,240
But, but first of all, you've got to,

1074
00:37:42,780 --> 00:37:46,160
it's, it's the companies themselves, chat GPT and

1075
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,800
perplexity and these other two or three of

1076
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,340
these other anthropop, whatever it is.

1077
00:37:51,460 --> 00:37:52,640
Anthro, anthropic.

1078
00:37:53,340 --> 00:37:53,780
Anthropathy.

1079
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:54,640
Anthropopathy.

1080
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:59,400
Some of these, all these different ones, they

1081
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:00,840
have to do it in, they have to

1082
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,360
make the, they have to create the mechanism

1083
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:03,100
internally.

1084
00:38:03,420 --> 00:38:03,700
Yes.

1085
00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:06,100
And find a way to sell it to

1086
00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:06,760
advertisers.

1087
00:38:07,220 --> 00:38:08,580
The way you do it is you create

1088
00:38:08,580 --> 00:38:09,500
verticals.

1089
00:38:09,580 --> 00:38:11,860
So this is the makeup bot.

1090
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,360
That's how you do it.

1091
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:14,200
You've got a vertical.

1092
00:38:14,380 --> 00:38:15,480
Oh, I've got the makeups.

1093
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,120
You know, just like all the influencers showing

1094
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,280
you how your makeup tips it'll, you could

1095
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,500
even have a, um, an AI generated face

1096
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:25,680
doing this and telling you what products you

1097
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:26,200
need to buy.

1098
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,260
Then you wouldn't have to deal with a

1099
00:38:28,260 --> 00:38:29,560
stupid influencer in the middle.

1100
00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:32,860
Well, if you had the AI face that

1101
00:38:32,860 --> 00:38:36,220
actually interacted individually, this is, you know, this

1102
00:38:36,220 --> 00:38:38,120
is closer to the thing with the influencer.

1103
00:38:38,220 --> 00:38:40,060
The influencer talks to a lot of people.

1104
00:38:40,220 --> 00:38:43,640
It's, it's one to many, but advertisers all

1105
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,440
know that one to one is all always

1106
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:47,080
been the goal.

1107
00:38:47,300 --> 00:38:49,020
And that's why they want to find every

1108
00:38:49,020 --> 00:38:50,240
little detail about you.

1109
00:38:50,260 --> 00:38:52,480
And so, so Facebook can say, well, you

1110
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,100
know, they're part of this group, that group

1111
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:55,560
and the other group, and they're related to

1112
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,040
this person, that person, the other person, and

1113
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,680
they can give you one to one, a

1114
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,000
targeted ad for you, but to actually, but

1115
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,920
they can't do the interaction part of it.

1116
00:39:04,980 --> 00:39:06,880
So you add interaction to one-to-one

1117
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:07,400
marketing.

1118
00:39:07,620 --> 00:39:07,740
Yeah.

1119
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,160
So you actually have the chat, but you

1120
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:11,420
know, the best way, of course, is that

1121
00:39:11,420 --> 00:39:14,440
you realize you're really excited about this.

1122
00:39:14,540 --> 00:39:17,200
I think it's a gold mine.

1123
00:39:17,300 --> 00:39:18,380
You're really excited.

1124
00:39:18,580 --> 00:39:19,620
Like, oh, this is great.

1125
00:39:19,780 --> 00:39:20,920
No, because it's all kids.

1126
00:39:21,020 --> 00:39:23,780
You can just see it coming together because

1127
00:39:23,780 --> 00:39:26,400
the, the idea of this thing talking to

1128
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,100
you, because the absolute best way to sell

1129
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:31,920
is one, one person talking to another person.

1130
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,300
That's what car salesmen do.

1131
00:39:33,420 --> 00:39:33,660
Yeah.

1132
00:39:33,820 --> 00:39:34,780
And that's what Trump does.

1133
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,280
He's a, you know, he's a one-to

1134
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,900
-one sales guy and that's max sales.

1135
00:39:39,020 --> 00:39:40,440
That's how you do the best job, but

1136
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,700
you can't scale it.

1137
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,440
You can scale this.

1138
00:39:43,580 --> 00:39:43,720
Yeah.

1139
00:39:44,140 --> 00:39:46,040
So here's my question though.

1140
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,420
How come we still don't have a bot,

1141
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:51,440
a chat GPT, as people call it.

1142
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:52,780
I got my chat GPT, even though they're

1143
00:39:52,780 --> 00:39:53,760
using something totally different.

1144
00:39:53,860 --> 00:39:54,860
It's all a chat GPT.

1145
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:55,580
That's the brand.

1146
00:39:56,220 --> 00:39:57,840
How come they don't have one that knows

1147
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,860
when my milk is out and automatically orders

1148
00:39:59,860 --> 00:40:01,420
it and gets it into my fridge?

1149
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,100
I'm still waiting for that promise.

1150
00:40:03,780 --> 00:40:03,980
Yeah.

1151
00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:05,480
Well, that's not going to happen.

1152
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:06,760
Anyway.

1153
00:40:06,940 --> 00:40:08,300
There's no money in it.

1154
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:11,960
Anyway, beware of your family members falling into

1155
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,500
this trap because they totally are.

1156
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,940
And I haven't quite figured out the way

1157
00:40:17,940 --> 00:40:20,900
to, to shake them out of this and

1158
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:21,840
to awaken them.

1159
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:23,740
No, don't shake them out of it.

1160
00:40:23,740 --> 00:40:25,320
Let them go into it and then let

1161
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:26,780
the advertisers take over.

1162
00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:28,260
Why?

1163
00:40:28,740 --> 00:40:29,700
This is your family.

1164
00:40:29,820 --> 00:40:31,760
You don't want your family succumbing to this

1165
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:31,860
nonsense.

1166
00:40:31,860 --> 00:40:33,040
People buying weird stuff.

1167
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,080
Wait, where'd you get that?

1168
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:39,120
No, this is not good.

1169
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:40,080
The chat GPT.

1170
00:40:40,340 --> 00:40:43,520
My friend, my chat GPT told me to

1171
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:43,980
buy it.

1172
00:40:44,340 --> 00:40:44,440
Yeah.

1173
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:45,520
What are you going to do with it?

1174
00:40:46,100 --> 00:40:46,440
Yeah.

1175
00:40:49,980 --> 00:40:52,560
I find it distressing, but you know, you

1176
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:53,580
seem to like it a lot.

1177
00:40:53,580 --> 00:40:54,620
Yeah, I do.

1178
00:40:54,980 --> 00:40:58,100
But I will say that, and they could

1179
00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:00,840
stop right now with all the money, all

1180
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,320
the wasting of money and just focus on

1181
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,620
this and you got a hit, but they're

1182
00:41:05,620 --> 00:41:05,880
dumb.

1183
00:41:05,980 --> 00:41:06,900
They're not going to do this.

1184
00:41:07,980 --> 00:41:10,020
They have to keep going for AGI.

1185
00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:13,160
They're a bunch of nerds who don't understand

1186
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:13,880
sales.

1187
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:15,120
Yeah.

1188
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:15,940
There you go.

1189
00:41:16,260 --> 00:41:17,780
They got a hit on their hands and

1190
00:41:17,780 --> 00:41:19,320
they don't understand they even have it.

1191
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:19,920
You're right.

1192
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:20,680
You're right.

1193
00:41:22,460 --> 00:41:25,840
Anyway, President Trump released another thank you for

1194
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,820
your attention to this matter memo.

1195
00:41:28,660 --> 00:41:31,600
Did you read this long memo he wrote?

1196
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,380
Oh, I just let people on TV read

1197
00:41:34,380 --> 00:41:34,920
it to me.

1198
00:41:36,420 --> 00:41:39,620
Well, luckily, you've got a partner who will

1199
00:41:39,620 --> 00:41:41,920
read little bits of it for you.

1200
00:41:45,380 --> 00:41:47,560
So he says, what's going on with my

1201
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:48,040
boys?

1202
00:41:48,140 --> 00:41:49,460
And in some cases, gals.

1203
00:41:49,460 --> 00:41:51,820
They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi,

1204
00:41:51,860 --> 00:41:53,300
who was doing a fantastic job.

1205
00:41:53,380 --> 00:41:53,800
All caps.

1206
00:41:54,620 --> 00:41:55,400
We're one team.

1207
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:55,900
We're mega.

1208
00:41:56,260 --> 00:41:57,520
I don't like what's happening.

1209
00:41:57,780 --> 00:41:59,140
We have a perfect administration.

1210
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:00,480
We're the talk of the world.

1211
00:42:00,940 --> 00:42:03,420
And selfish people are selfish people in quotes

1212
00:42:03,420 --> 00:42:05,280
are trying to hurt it all over a

1213
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:06,420
guy who never dies.

1214
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,720
Jeffrey Epstein for years.

1215
00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:10,140
It's Epstein over and over again.

1216
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,080
Why are we giving publicity to files written

1217
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,540
by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan and the

1218
00:42:16,540 --> 00:42:18,960
losers and criminals of the Biden administration?

1219
00:42:19,460 --> 00:42:21,360
This is an interesting accusation.

1220
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,280
Files written by.

1221
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:26,540
That is interesting.

1222
00:42:27,180 --> 00:42:28,780
And I'm not quite sure how that would

1223
00:42:28,780 --> 00:42:29,260
work.

1224
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,360
What was the point of them writing it?

1225
00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:34,900
What was the point?

1226
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:37,880
I don't know.

1227
00:42:38,260 --> 00:42:39,900
You just can keep reading.

1228
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,480
Why don't these?

1229
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,800
Okay, they created.

1230
00:42:46,020 --> 00:42:46,770
Okay, here it is.

1231
00:42:47,530 --> 00:42:50,090
So the Biden administration who conned the world

1232
00:42:50,090 --> 00:42:53,090
with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, 51 intelligence

1233
00:42:53,090 --> 00:42:55,330
agents, the laptop from hell and more.

1234
00:42:55,490 --> 00:42:56,230
They really stop.

1235
00:42:56,490 --> 00:42:58,670
He said he blamed the Biden administration.

1236
00:42:59,190 --> 00:42:59,850
Yes, yes.

1237
00:43:00,070 --> 00:43:01,790
It was Obama behind the thing.

1238
00:43:02,470 --> 00:43:05,470
Well, no, no, the full sentences files written

1239
00:43:05,470 --> 00:43:08,330
by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan and the

1240
00:43:08,330 --> 00:43:10,590
losers and criminals of the Biden administration who

1241
00:43:10,590 --> 00:43:13,190
comma who conned the world, blah, blah, blah.

1242
00:43:13,950 --> 00:43:17,090
They created the Epstein files, just like they

1243
00:43:17,090 --> 00:43:20,670
created the fake Hillary Clinton slash Christopher Steele

1244
00:43:20,670 --> 00:43:22,610
dossier that they used on me.

1245
00:43:22,930 --> 00:43:28,430
And now my so-called friends are playing

1246
00:43:28,430 --> 00:43:30,030
right into their hands.

1247
00:43:30,590 --> 00:43:33,450
Why didn't these radical left lunatics release the

1248
00:43:33,450 --> 00:43:34,250
Epstein files?

1249
00:43:34,270 --> 00:43:35,970
If there was anything in there that could

1250
00:43:35,970 --> 00:43:37,890
have hurt the MAGA movement, why didn't they

1251
00:43:37,890 --> 00:43:38,350
use it?

1252
00:43:38,610 --> 00:43:39,290
Well, exactly.

1253
00:43:39,770 --> 00:43:40,730
What is the point?

1254
00:43:40,730 --> 00:43:44,130
But explain to me how this works.

1255
00:43:44,390 --> 00:43:50,310
If the Epstein files were written by Crooked

1256
00:43:50,310 --> 00:43:54,990
Hillary, Obama, Biden, Comey, Brennan, what was the

1257
00:43:54,990 --> 00:43:55,270
point?

1258
00:43:55,450 --> 00:43:57,710
What was the what was the what was

1259
00:43:57,710 --> 00:43:58,410
the op here?

1260
00:44:00,070 --> 00:44:02,850
Well, he sure doesn't explain it in that

1261
00:44:02,850 --> 00:44:04,610
crazed memo.

1262
00:44:05,110 --> 00:44:05,730
He does.

1263
00:44:05,810 --> 00:44:07,010
And I will use that term.

1264
00:44:07,010 --> 00:44:07,490
He does.

1265
00:44:07,670 --> 00:44:11,710
Scott Adams, who is under fire right now.

1266
00:44:11,990 --> 00:44:15,690
Here's what Scott Adams posted this morning.

1267
00:44:15,970 --> 00:44:18,230
If you see the Epstein story as a

1268
00:44:18,230 --> 00:44:20,790
crime story, which of course it is, you

1269
00:44:20,790 --> 00:44:24,150
probably favor maximum disclosure of everyone and everything

1270
00:44:24,150 --> 00:44:27,470
involved, including innocent people, like a typical court

1271
00:44:27,470 --> 00:44:27,850
case.

1272
00:44:28,210 --> 00:44:30,690
If you see the Epstein story as something

1273
00:44:30,690 --> 00:44:34,130
bigger involving more than one nation, you might

1274
00:44:34,130 --> 00:44:36,510
see it as a commander in chief issue,

1275
00:44:36,810 --> 00:44:38,490
meaning the public is not meant to have

1276
00:44:38,490 --> 00:44:41,230
the full story, similar to most national defense

1277
00:44:41,230 --> 00:44:41,710
issues.

1278
00:44:42,390 --> 00:44:44,730
We elect a president to decide, in part,

1279
00:44:44,830 --> 00:44:46,510
what the public can safely see.

1280
00:44:47,070 --> 00:44:49,170
Would you favor full disclosure if you knew

1281
00:44:49,170 --> 00:44:51,150
it would derail a peace negotiation?

1282
00:44:51,670 --> 00:44:54,010
Would you favor full disclosure if you knew

1283
00:44:54,010 --> 00:44:56,630
it would end Republican control of Congress and

1284
00:44:56,630 --> 00:44:59,010
plunge the country back into a Democrat open

1285
00:44:59,010 --> 00:45:00,030
border hellscape?

1286
00:45:00,670 --> 00:45:02,310
If you can't say what you would give

1287
00:45:02,310 --> 00:45:04,350
up to get the full Epstein disclosure you

1288
00:45:04,350 --> 00:45:06,430
crave, you're not a serious person.

1289
00:45:08,550 --> 00:45:10,370
You're not a serious person?

1290
00:45:10,630 --> 00:45:10,730
What?

1291
00:45:10,870 --> 00:45:11,770
That's what he said.

1292
00:45:11,830 --> 00:45:13,050
He throws that in there.

1293
00:45:13,050 --> 00:45:15,290
I think everybody wouldn't care.

1294
00:45:16,250 --> 00:45:18,230
There's Republicans in there we want to know

1295
00:45:18,230 --> 00:45:18,550
too.

1296
00:45:18,670 --> 00:45:19,390
Are you kidding me?

1297
00:45:20,030 --> 00:45:22,210
I don't see why he posted that.

1298
00:45:22,210 --> 00:45:24,390
So he's getting pushback on that commentary?

1299
00:45:24,690 --> 00:45:25,450
Uh, yeah.

1300
00:45:25,810 --> 00:45:28,130
A rare L from Scott Adams.

1301
00:45:29,390 --> 00:45:31,610
Scott, you're controlled by Mossad.

1302
00:45:32,290 --> 00:45:33,090
Oh, geez.

1303
00:45:33,490 --> 00:45:33,670
Yeah.

1304
00:45:33,810 --> 00:45:34,190
Oh, yeah.

1305
00:45:35,770 --> 00:45:37,690
Anyway, it has reached the crescendo.

1306
00:45:38,130 --> 00:45:40,410
Well, there's definitely an op underway.

1307
00:45:40,830 --> 00:45:43,570
And I wrote about it in the newsletter.

1308
00:45:43,730 --> 00:45:44,670
I don't know if you ever saw the

1309
00:45:44,670 --> 00:45:44,910
news.

1310
00:45:45,030 --> 00:45:46,070
Of course I did.

1311
00:45:46,210 --> 00:45:48,130
And I replied to you to your Gmail.

1312
00:45:50,090 --> 00:45:50,730
Oh, finally.

1313
00:45:50,930 --> 00:45:51,250
Okay.

1314
00:45:51,750 --> 00:45:52,150
Yes.

1315
00:45:52,310 --> 00:45:53,370
You didn't see my reply?

1316
00:45:53,710 --> 00:45:54,730
Did you find any typos?

1317
00:45:54,790 --> 00:45:54,930
Yes.

1318
00:45:54,970 --> 00:45:57,010
You had many spelled M-A-Y-N.

1319
00:45:57,010 --> 00:45:58,550
I fixed that before.

1320
00:45:59,070 --> 00:46:00,890
Actually, right after I sent that out.

1321
00:46:01,030 --> 00:46:01,270
All right.

1322
00:46:01,350 --> 00:46:02,690
But I did reply.

1323
00:46:03,810 --> 00:46:04,150
Okay.

1324
00:46:04,250 --> 00:46:06,510
Well, as you know, my emails were all

1325
00:46:06,510 --> 00:46:06,850
screwed up.

1326
00:46:06,890 --> 00:46:07,250
I know.

1327
00:46:07,390 --> 00:46:09,270
You don't receive any of the hate emails

1328
00:46:09,270 --> 00:46:10,230
intended for you.

1329
00:46:10,530 --> 00:46:11,790
That's why people have given up.

1330
00:46:12,350 --> 00:46:12,830
Of course.

1331
00:46:13,050 --> 00:46:13,890
I'm no fool.

1332
00:46:14,230 --> 00:46:15,350
Everything is blocked.

1333
00:46:15,890 --> 00:46:18,150
And so people who send you an email,

1334
00:46:18,310 --> 00:46:18,850
you replied.

1335
00:46:18,930 --> 00:46:20,010
Their reply gets blocked.

1336
00:46:20,270 --> 00:46:21,410
I don't know how it works.

1337
00:46:21,410 --> 00:46:23,730
I whitelist the people that should be getting

1338
00:46:23,730 --> 00:46:24,030
through.

1339
00:46:24,390 --> 00:46:25,490
They always get whitelisted.

1340
00:46:25,870 --> 00:46:26,430
All right.

1341
00:46:26,430 --> 00:46:30,850
So there's an op of some sort going

1342
00:46:30,850 --> 00:46:31,230
on.

1343
00:46:32,250 --> 00:46:35,190
And my write-up was about Bongino, who

1344
00:46:35,190 --> 00:46:37,510
seems to be the- I question this

1345
00:46:37,510 --> 00:46:39,470
narrative about Bongino.

1346
00:46:40,330 --> 00:46:41,870
Well, I'd like to hear what you think.

1347
00:46:42,270 --> 00:46:44,250
Well, may I play a couple of clips

1348
00:46:44,250 --> 00:46:45,730
from ABC from this morning?

1349
00:46:46,870 --> 00:46:47,870
You may.

1350
00:46:48,050 --> 00:46:48,650
Thank you.

1351
00:46:48,770 --> 00:46:51,050
We begin with the controversy roiling the leadership

1352
00:46:51,050 --> 00:46:52,150
of the Justice Department.

1353
00:46:52,170 --> 00:46:52,610
Roiling.

1354
00:46:52,910 --> 00:46:54,630
It's an uproar that has pitted the leaders

1355
00:46:54,630 --> 00:46:56,170
of the DOJ and the FBI- Uproar.

1356
00:46:56,430 --> 00:46:59,470
And possibly the president himself against some of

1357
00:46:59,470 --> 00:47:01,950
the most prominent voices in the MAGA movement.

1358
00:47:02,630 --> 00:47:02,830
MAGA movement.

1359
00:47:02,830 --> 00:47:04,890
Just this weekend, some of Trump's allies were

1360
00:47:04,890 --> 00:47:08,450
in open revolt, demanding the resignation of Attorney

1361
00:47:08,450 --> 00:47:09,690
General Pam Bondi.

1362
00:47:09,870 --> 00:47:12,390
And accusing her of taking part in a

1363
00:47:12,390 --> 00:47:13,110
cover-up.

1364
00:47:13,950 --> 00:47:15,470
I don't think he realizes how much she's

1365
00:47:15,470 --> 00:47:16,910
humiliated the administration.

1366
00:47:17,490 --> 00:47:18,970
This is a self-inflicted wound.

1367
00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:20,190
She caused it.

1368
00:47:20,430 --> 00:47:21,890
Again, I have nothing against Pam Bondi.

1369
00:47:21,930 --> 00:47:22,870
But if you want to look for the

1370
00:47:22,870 --> 00:47:24,830
villain in this story, we have found her.

1371
00:47:25,570 --> 00:47:26,670
This is about- Who's that?

1372
00:47:26,890 --> 00:47:27,730
That's Megyn Kelly.

1373
00:47:28,030 --> 00:47:28,530
Megyn Kelly.

1374
00:47:29,190 --> 00:47:30,670
Wow, she was at such a height.

1375
00:47:30,770 --> 00:47:32,810
Well, Chris, she was- Well, she was

1376
00:47:32,810 --> 00:47:34,690
on stage at Turning Point USA.

1377
00:47:34,770 --> 00:47:37,610
Okay, that's what I was going to do

1378
00:47:37,610 --> 00:47:38,730
my opening with.

1379
00:47:39,070 --> 00:47:40,750
It was going to be the Northern Silicon

1380
00:47:40,750 --> 00:47:41,190
Valley.

1381
00:47:41,290 --> 00:47:43,390
Where did Charlie Kirk come from?

1382
00:47:43,750 --> 00:47:45,210
Talk about an op.

1383
00:47:46,210 --> 00:47:48,650
This is about the administration's handling of the

1384
00:47:48,650 --> 00:47:50,790
investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

1385
00:47:50,790 --> 00:47:54,110
He was the financier and convicted sex trafficker,

1386
00:47:54,230 --> 00:47:56,390
who was found dead in his jail cell

1387
00:47:56,390 --> 00:47:59,410
after an apparent suicide in August of 2019.

1388
00:47:59,950 --> 00:48:03,310
For years, many Trump allies, including his now

1389
00:48:03,310 --> 00:48:06,670
FBI director, Kash Patel, pushed for the release

1390
00:48:06,670 --> 00:48:09,310
of the government files on the Epstein case.

1391
00:48:09,630 --> 00:48:13,170
Suggesting they would implicate prominent Americans in a

1392
00:48:13,170 --> 00:48:14,150
sinister plot.

1393
00:48:14,570 --> 00:48:16,290
What the hell are the House Republicans doing?

1394
00:48:16,710 --> 00:48:17,730
They have the majority.

1395
00:48:18,150 --> 00:48:19,310
You can't get the list?

1396
00:48:19,310 --> 00:48:21,590
Put on your big boy pants and let

1397
00:48:21,590 --> 00:48:22,990
us know who the pedophiles are.

1398
00:48:23,310 --> 00:48:26,710
Now, you'll remember when this first started, I

1399
00:48:26,710 --> 00:48:29,710
think I said this is an inside attack

1400
00:48:29,710 --> 00:48:34,490
on the president to get the splinter in

1401
00:48:34,490 --> 00:48:37,910
the MAGA movement, the America First movement, whatever

1402
00:48:37,910 --> 00:48:38,570
it is.

1403
00:48:38,950 --> 00:48:41,210
And this, I think, is playing out now

1404
00:48:41,210 --> 00:48:43,090
on ABC with Jonathan Karl.

1405
00:48:43,230 --> 00:48:45,890
The questions surrounding this alleged suicide- A

1406
00:48:45,890 --> 00:48:46,870
Trump hater, I might add.

1407
00:48:47,490 --> 00:48:48,310
Oh, yeah, of course.

1408
00:48:48,310 --> 00:48:50,650
Yeah, so there's that Kash Patel, now they

1409
00:48:50,650 --> 00:48:51,610
bring in Bongino.

1410
00:48:51,770 --> 00:48:56,090
The questions surrounding this alleged suicide are numerous

1411
00:48:56,090 --> 00:48:59,350
and are worth entertaining and worth getting to

1412
00:48:59,350 --> 00:49:00,490
the bottom of quickly.

1413
00:49:01,250 --> 00:49:04,590
That was Dan Bongino, the former MAGA social

1414
00:49:04,590 --> 00:49:07,330
media star, who is now the deputy director

1415
00:49:07,330 --> 00:49:08,010
of the FBI.

1416
00:49:08,750 --> 00:49:08,850
What?

1417
00:49:08,850 --> 00:49:10,970
MAGA social media superstar.

1418
00:49:11,070 --> 00:49:12,090
How about Podcaster?

1419
00:49:12,330 --> 00:49:12,510
Hey.

1420
00:49:13,150 --> 00:49:16,310
Well, no, he's a syndicated radio guy, took

1421
00:49:16,310 --> 00:49:18,470
over Rush Limbaugh's slot in most of the

1422
00:49:18,470 --> 00:49:20,030
markets out there.

1423
00:49:20,750 --> 00:49:22,890
So he was doing radio and a podcast.

1424
00:49:23,230 --> 00:49:24,730
He was doing a Hannity kind of thing

1425
00:49:24,730 --> 00:49:26,110
where you're doing two jobs.

1426
00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:26,490
Yeah.

1427
00:49:26,670 --> 00:49:27,730
Instead of just one.

1428
00:49:27,850 --> 00:49:28,050
Yeah.

1429
00:49:28,150 --> 00:49:30,230
Thinking, you know, that you could promote, fall

1430
00:49:30,230 --> 00:49:31,770
back on one if the other one didn't

1431
00:49:31,770 --> 00:49:32,090
work.

1432
00:49:32,130 --> 00:49:33,670
But he was doing okay on the radio.

1433
00:49:33,850 --> 00:49:35,150
He had a really good show.

1434
00:49:35,690 --> 00:49:38,790
And he was never a social media influencer.

1435
00:49:39,010 --> 00:49:40,270
So that's bullcrap.

1436
00:49:41,830 --> 00:49:42,970
That's not the point.

1437
00:49:43,270 --> 00:49:45,790
This is to discredit the top jobs.

1438
00:49:45,790 --> 00:49:47,450
Yes, no, I'm on board with this.

1439
00:49:47,450 --> 00:49:49,530
Because I think John Carl is one of

1440
00:49:49,530 --> 00:49:51,450
these borderline Marxist.

1441
00:49:51,790 --> 00:49:56,270
This is discrediting the attorney general and the

1442
00:49:56,270 --> 00:49:59,550
top two guys in the Justice Department.

1443
00:49:59,910 --> 00:50:02,810
Well, we haven't, no one says anything about

1444
00:50:02,810 --> 00:50:05,290
Radcliffe yet, but we'll get there, I guess.

1445
00:50:06,590 --> 00:50:07,850
But somebody pointed this out.

1446
00:50:07,910 --> 00:50:08,910
One of the guys that may have been,

1447
00:50:09,010 --> 00:50:10,790
it was Tucker, on one of the shows

1448
00:50:10,790 --> 00:50:13,290
says no one's ever criticized Radcliffe for anything.

1449
00:50:13,510 --> 00:50:14,870
No, because you don't want to wind up

1450
00:50:14,870 --> 00:50:16,470
with the kiddie porn on your computer.

1451
00:50:16,470 --> 00:50:19,810
Hello, that's why you don't say anything bad

1452
00:50:19,810 --> 00:50:20,670
about the CIA.

1453
00:50:21,250 --> 00:50:22,310
That's a good reason.

1454
00:50:22,850 --> 00:50:26,010
And Bongino, the former MAGA social media star,

1455
00:50:26,250 --> 00:50:28,230
who is now the deputy director of the

1456
00:50:28,230 --> 00:50:28,710
FBI.

1457
00:50:29,370 --> 00:50:31,870
He hasn't been seen at FBI headquarters in

1458
00:50:31,870 --> 00:50:32,370
days.

1459
00:50:32,730 --> 00:50:34,510
And some of his allies say he may

1460
00:50:34,510 --> 00:50:37,630
resign after he had a heated argument at

1461
00:50:37,630 --> 00:50:38,310
the White House.

1462
00:50:38,430 --> 00:50:39,890
See, all of this is hearsay.

1463
00:50:40,230 --> 00:50:42,370
And I don't know exactly where this was

1464
00:50:42,370 --> 00:50:43,130
launched from.

1465
00:50:43,590 --> 00:50:46,270
But it's like, oh, they had a fight.

1466
00:50:46,270 --> 00:50:47,610
They had a verbal fight.

1467
00:50:48,110 --> 00:50:51,150
Bongino didn't show up to work, according to

1468
00:50:51,150 --> 00:50:52,630
sources and allies.

1469
00:50:52,850 --> 00:50:53,430
Come on.

1470
00:50:53,670 --> 00:50:55,870
With the Attorney General and White House Chief

1471
00:50:55,870 --> 00:50:58,850
of Staff Susie Wiles over how the administration

1472
00:50:58,850 --> 00:50:59,990
has handled the case.

1473
00:51:00,530 --> 00:51:03,030
Sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

1474
00:51:03,110 --> 00:51:04,750
Sources familiar with the matter.

1475
00:51:05,270 --> 00:51:08,170
It was Bondi who raised expectations earlier this

1476
00:51:08,170 --> 00:51:11,030
year that the full DOJ and FBI files

1477
00:51:11,030 --> 00:51:12,690
on Epstein would be released.

1478
00:51:12,690 --> 00:51:15,250
Days later, a group of far-right social

1479
00:51:15,250 --> 00:51:17,570
media figures walked out of the West Wing

1480
00:51:17,570 --> 00:51:20,630
of the White House with binders labeled Epstein

1481
00:51:20,630 --> 00:51:24,410
investigation files that Bondi said contained, quote, a

1482
00:51:24,410 --> 00:51:25,570
lot of information.

1483
00:51:25,830 --> 00:51:26,710
That was great.

1484
00:51:27,030 --> 00:51:29,270
There was no new information in those files.

1485
00:51:29,310 --> 00:51:31,110
Oh, listen to John Carl do a little

1486
00:51:31,110 --> 00:51:31,950
laugh tale there.

1487
00:51:33,370 --> 00:51:35,570
But it turned out there was no new

1488
00:51:35,570 --> 00:51:36,970
information in those files.

1489
00:51:37,330 --> 00:51:38,410
No client list.

1490
00:51:38,410 --> 00:51:41,450
They were full of previously released and heavily

1491
00:51:41,450 --> 00:51:42,710
redacted records.

1492
00:51:43,490 --> 00:51:45,030
Bondi then sent a letter to the FBI

1493
00:51:45,030 --> 00:51:48,370
demanding the full and complete Epstein files be

1494
00:51:48,370 --> 00:51:51,290
sent to her office and suggested prosecutors in

1495
00:51:51,290 --> 00:51:54,070
New York were withholding thousands of pages of

1496
00:51:54,070 --> 00:51:54,670
documents.

1497
00:51:55,470 --> 00:51:58,470
In May, Bondi claimed the FBI was reviewing

1498
00:51:58,470 --> 00:52:01,550
tens of thousands of videos of Epstein, further

1499
00:52:01,550 --> 00:52:04,570
raising expectations about what would be released.

1500
00:52:05,130 --> 00:52:07,010
And now the big reversal.

1501
00:52:07,010 --> 00:52:09,050
Oh, the big reversal.

1502
00:52:09,610 --> 00:52:12,990
First FBI Director Kash Patel poured cold water

1503
00:52:12,990 --> 00:52:15,730
on the Epstein conspiracy theory in an interview

1504
00:52:15,730 --> 00:52:16,510
last month.

1505
00:52:17,410 --> 00:52:19,130
We've reviewed all the information and the American

1506
00:52:19,130 --> 00:52:20,350
public is going to get as much as

1507
00:52:20,350 --> 00:52:20,970
we can release.

1508
00:52:21,450 --> 00:52:22,210
He killed himself.

1509
00:52:22,830 --> 00:52:24,570
Do you think, let's play out the logical

1510
00:52:24,570 --> 00:52:25,470
conclusion of this.

1511
00:52:25,850 --> 00:52:29,470
Do you think that myself, Bongino and others

1512
00:52:30,350 --> 00:52:35,450
would participate in hiding information about Epstein's grotesque

1513
00:52:35,450 --> 00:52:35,870
activities?

1514
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,170
And last week in an undated and unsigned

1515
00:52:39,170 --> 00:52:42,270
memo, the Justice Department and FBI announced the

1516
00:52:42,270 --> 00:52:45,210
end of its investigation, writing that a review

1517
00:52:45,210 --> 00:52:48,730
found, quote, no incriminating client list and quote,

1518
00:52:48,910 --> 00:52:53,010
no credible evidence that Epstein blackmailed anyone and

1519
00:52:53,010 --> 00:52:55,530
confirming that yes, he died by suicide.

1520
00:52:55,830 --> 00:52:59,490
The memo and Bondi's comments didn't put out

1521
00:52:59,490 --> 00:53:01,790
the right wing fury over the Epstein case,

1522
00:53:01,990 --> 00:53:04,290
but it seemed to make it burn brighter,

1523
00:53:04,290 --> 00:53:08,210
leading to calls for Bondi's resignation and ominous

1524
00:53:08,210 --> 00:53:10,570
warnings about the future of Trump's movement.

1525
00:53:10,850 --> 00:53:13,490
We need an attorney general who isn't gonna

1526
00:53:13,490 --> 00:53:15,330
lie, who isn't gonna be addicted to going

1527
00:53:15,330 --> 00:53:17,290
on Fox News and who isn't going to

1528
00:53:17,290 --> 00:53:20,930
jeopardize midterm elections and cause President Trump to

1529
00:53:20,930 --> 00:53:22,970
hemorrhage support from the base.

1530
00:53:23,110 --> 00:53:25,890
The Epstein situation shows us one central thing,

1531
00:53:26,230 --> 00:53:28,310
who runs the country.

1532
00:53:28,650 --> 00:53:31,450
Either the people run the country, right?

1533
00:53:31,710 --> 00:53:33,250
Or the deep state runs the country.

1534
00:53:33,250 --> 00:53:35,370
If this was an op, it's working as

1535
00:53:35,370 --> 00:53:35,810
intended.

1536
00:53:35,950 --> 00:53:36,530
Final clip.

1537
00:53:36,750 --> 00:53:38,290
And where is the president in all of

1538
00:53:38,290 --> 00:53:38,510
this?

1539
00:53:38,970 --> 00:53:41,530
Trump, like many other New York celebrities, had

1540
00:53:41,530 --> 00:53:42,990
some association with Epstein.

1541
00:53:43,530 --> 00:53:45,630
You've probably seen this video of Trump with

1542
00:53:45,630 --> 00:53:47,630
Epstein back in 1992.

1543
00:53:48,470 --> 00:53:51,430
Decades later, when Epstein was arrested in 2019,

1544
00:53:52,090 --> 00:53:54,450
Trump said that he and Epstein previously had

1545
00:53:54,450 --> 00:53:56,410
a falling out and had not spoken in

1546
00:53:56,410 --> 00:53:57,230
15 years.

1547
00:53:57,790 --> 00:54:00,410
And he suggested last year that he believed

1548
00:54:00,410 --> 00:54:02,430
Epstein did probably kill himself.

1549
00:54:02,430 --> 00:54:04,330
Do you think it's possible that Epstein was

1550
00:54:04,330 --> 00:54:04,610
killed?

1551
00:54:04,930 --> 00:54:05,670
Oh, sure, it's possible.

1552
00:54:05,950 --> 00:54:07,570
I mean, I don't really believe it.

1553
00:54:07,590 --> 00:54:10,130
I think he probably committed suicide.

1554
00:54:10,710 --> 00:54:13,830
Trump came to Bondi's defense overnight, posting on

1555
00:54:13,830 --> 00:54:16,190
social media that she is doing a fantastic

1556
00:54:16,190 --> 00:54:16,810
job.

1557
00:54:17,070 --> 00:54:19,890
He also urged his followers to, quote, not

1558
00:54:19,890 --> 00:54:23,190
waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein, claiming,

1559
00:54:23,430 --> 00:54:26,350
without evidence, that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama,

1560
00:54:26,470 --> 00:54:29,170
among others, created the Epstein files.

1561
00:54:29,170 --> 00:54:32,430
And he directed the FBI to investigate other

1562
00:54:32,430 --> 00:54:36,010
matters, including the 2020 election results.

1563
00:54:36,510 --> 00:54:38,590
This is fantastic.

1564
00:54:39,250 --> 00:54:41,550
This is one of the biggest media manipulation

1565
00:54:41,550 --> 00:54:43,150
stories of our time.

1566
00:54:43,370 --> 00:54:46,570
And nobody knows nothing, which is great.

1567
00:54:47,750 --> 00:54:51,470
But for sure, Epstein was being protected and

1568
00:54:51,470 --> 00:54:53,470
was involved in things that were no good

1569
00:54:53,470 --> 00:54:54,870
and all kinds of elites.

1570
00:54:55,070 --> 00:54:57,570
And there's this video, and would you believe

1571
00:54:57,570 --> 00:54:59,910
this is only downloaded kiddie porn?

1572
00:55:00,230 --> 00:55:00,630
Please.

1573
00:55:01,870 --> 00:55:04,050
And so for the president to say, hey,

1574
00:55:04,170 --> 00:55:08,310
this is all created by those guys, is

1575
00:55:08,310 --> 00:55:09,270
not credible.

1576
00:55:09,870 --> 00:55:11,270
It's just not credible.

1577
00:55:11,810 --> 00:55:13,450
And I don't think he gets it.

1578
00:55:14,370 --> 00:55:15,310
Do you?

1579
00:55:18,170 --> 00:55:19,190
Oh, sorry.

1580
00:55:20,650 --> 00:55:25,850
See, if they don't put kid porn on

1581
00:55:25,850 --> 00:55:27,530
your computer, they ruin your podcast.

1582
00:55:27,810 --> 00:55:28,030
Sorry.

1583
00:55:28,570 --> 00:55:30,070
I said it was not credible and you

1584
00:55:30,070 --> 00:55:30,470
dropped out.

1585
00:55:30,590 --> 00:55:31,670
I was talking all along.

1586
00:55:31,730 --> 00:55:32,450
I'm sure you were.

1587
00:55:32,530 --> 00:55:33,690
Can you repeat any of it?

1588
00:55:34,250 --> 00:55:35,230
Well, a couple of it.

1589
00:55:35,310 --> 00:55:37,870
I think Pam Bondi brought this on herself.

1590
00:55:38,570 --> 00:55:38,810
Yep.

1591
00:55:39,190 --> 00:55:40,250
She's a bonehead.

1592
00:55:40,690 --> 00:55:40,870
Yeah.

1593
00:55:40,930 --> 00:55:44,030
And she made all these promises, promises, promises,

1594
00:55:44,150 --> 00:55:45,750
a lot of them on Fox, more than

1595
00:55:45,750 --> 00:55:47,870
once, not just the one show, but she

1596
00:55:47,870 --> 00:55:49,610
came on Waters, as you recall.

1597
00:55:49,750 --> 00:55:51,630
And so, yep, tomorrow's the day.

1598
00:55:51,650 --> 00:55:52,370
Yeah, we got it.

1599
00:55:52,510 --> 00:55:53,890
She actually laughed in her face.

1600
00:55:56,150 --> 00:55:56,550
Yeah.

1601
00:55:57,230 --> 00:55:59,550
And so she's made all these promises.

1602
00:56:00,050 --> 00:56:02,130
The other thing is the Bongino thing, I

1603
00:56:02,130 --> 00:56:05,230
kind of believe it for the following reasons.

1604
00:56:06,570 --> 00:56:09,630
And I posted a picture in the newsletter

1605
00:56:09,630 --> 00:56:11,850
of Bongino sitting there with Cash Patel.

1606
00:56:11,910 --> 00:56:12,630
He's wearing a suit.

1607
00:56:12,710 --> 00:56:13,510
He looks uncomfortable.

1608
00:56:14,090 --> 00:56:16,070
Bongino was never an office guy.

1609
00:56:16,450 --> 00:56:19,690
Bongino was a field guy in the Secret

1610
00:56:19,690 --> 00:56:20,130
Service.

1611
00:56:20,590 --> 00:56:21,510
He was in the field.

1612
00:56:21,550 --> 00:56:22,670
When you're in the field and you're in

1613
00:56:22,670 --> 00:56:23,750
the office, it's two different things.

1614
00:56:23,750 --> 00:56:27,270
And he's been complaining since day one of

1615
00:56:27,270 --> 00:56:28,890
having to go into the office.

1616
00:56:29,410 --> 00:56:31,010
And so he's just a stooge in the

1617
00:56:31,010 --> 00:56:31,250
office.

1618
00:56:31,370 --> 00:56:32,190
He doesn't like it.

1619
00:56:32,250 --> 00:56:32,890
He's uncomfortable.

1620
00:56:33,130 --> 00:56:34,610
He was looking for a way out so

1621
00:56:34,610 --> 00:56:38,130
he can get back to money-making possibilities

1622
00:56:38,130 --> 00:56:43,970
of his syndicated broadcasting morning bitch and moan

1623
00:56:43,970 --> 00:56:45,490
show and his podcast.

1624
00:56:45,790 --> 00:56:46,750
And he wants to quit.

1625
00:56:47,150 --> 00:56:48,730
So he's found a way out.

1626
00:56:48,970 --> 00:56:50,690
And it's a phony way, but he's going

1627
00:56:50,690 --> 00:56:51,330
to do it anyway.

1628
00:56:51,450 --> 00:56:53,010
I'm convinced he's going to be out of

1629
00:56:53,010 --> 00:56:54,170
there within a couple of weeks.

1630
00:56:54,430 --> 00:56:56,530
And the reason he's disappeared is probably to

1631
00:56:56,530 --> 00:56:58,990
talk to his producers and other syndicators about

1632
00:56:58,990 --> 00:57:00,470
how he can get back.

1633
00:57:00,750 --> 00:57:03,050
Okay, but then so when he gets back,

1634
00:57:03,150 --> 00:57:05,730
he then right away has to say, okay,

1635
00:57:05,910 --> 00:57:07,150
here's what I really saw.

1636
00:57:07,310 --> 00:57:08,410
They made me say this.

1637
00:57:08,550 --> 00:57:10,230
If he doesn't, that career is going to

1638
00:57:10,230 --> 00:57:10,730
be over.

1639
00:57:10,950 --> 00:57:11,890
No, that's not true.

1640
00:57:12,170 --> 00:57:17,270
I outlined that in the argument in the

1641
00:57:17,270 --> 00:57:17,630
newsletter.

1642
00:57:18,030 --> 00:57:20,970
He's going to say, look, there's things I

1643
00:57:20,970 --> 00:57:22,350
could tell you, and I know you're going

1644
00:57:22,350 --> 00:57:24,750
to get mad about this, but I signed

1645
00:57:24,750 --> 00:57:27,330
NDAs and I just confidentiality.

1646
00:57:27,510 --> 00:57:29,090
There's really nothing I can do.

1647
00:57:29,190 --> 00:57:31,870
My hands are tied, but I can tell

1648
00:57:31,870 --> 00:57:32,490
you this.

1649
00:57:32,810 --> 00:57:34,450
And then he'll come off with this BS

1650
00:57:34,450 --> 00:57:36,530
and he'll make it sound like he's trying

1651
00:57:36,530 --> 00:57:38,030
to make amends.

1652
00:57:38,250 --> 00:57:39,390
He'll get away with it.

1653
00:57:39,390 --> 00:57:40,370
He's a good talker.

1654
00:57:40,610 --> 00:57:42,590
Hey, could we get, could we replace Mark

1655
00:57:42,590 --> 00:57:44,510
Levin with Dan Bongino on Fox?

1656
00:57:44,590 --> 00:57:46,010
That would be a win for everybody.

1657
00:57:49,780 --> 00:57:51,780
I don't think Bongino is that good on

1658
00:57:51,780 --> 00:57:52,280
video.

1659
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,240
He's kind of a homely square-headed guy.

1660
00:57:55,500 --> 00:57:57,100
Mark Levin is good on video?

1661
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:57,500
No.

1662
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,920
Mark Levin, hello America.

1663
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:01,620
No, no.

1664
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,840
No, Mark Levin, he's got no big audience.

1665
00:58:04,940 --> 00:58:07,760
He's on Sundays, you know, the Sunday, the

1666
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,060
death hours on Sunday and Saturday.

1667
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,240
Nobody watches that show.

1668
00:58:12,380 --> 00:58:14,780
I mean, I think just for people out

1669
00:58:14,780 --> 00:58:17,680
there that like watching this crap, I will

1670
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,560
say this, Mark Levin, not all the time,

1671
00:58:19,620 --> 00:58:22,380
but at least once every other show, his

1672
00:58:22,380 --> 00:58:24,900
opening, and I would call it what it

1673
00:58:24,900 --> 00:58:25,000
is.

1674
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:25,800
Hello America.

1675
00:58:26,780 --> 00:58:27,640
Hello America.

1676
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,900
His opening lecture, which goes about 15 minutes,

1677
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:34,300
is often quite educational.

1678
00:58:34,500 --> 00:58:36,560
I never watch this guy, so I wouldn't

1679
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,020
know I'll take your word for it.

1680
00:58:38,380 --> 00:58:39,460
It's quite educational.

1681
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,760
He does a very good job of outlining

1682
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,760
some topic in using a constitutional, with a

1683
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:46,780
constitutional basis.

1684
00:58:46,980 --> 00:58:48,640
It's very, it's good.

1685
00:58:48,740 --> 00:58:49,400
It's not bad.

1686
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,280
Then he brings his guest son who just

1687
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:52,680
all agree with him, and that's the end

1688
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:52,900
of it.

1689
00:58:52,940 --> 00:58:55,620
Well, allow me to dive in now as

1690
00:58:55,620 --> 00:58:59,080
Jonathan is joined by Pierre Thomas for some

1691
00:58:59,080 --> 00:58:59,420
reason.

1692
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:02,880
I don't know why, I don't know why,

1693
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,480
but they're going full bore.

1694
00:59:05,980 --> 00:59:07,740
They're going full bore on this.

1695
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:11,160
All right, Pierre, you've got some remarkable reporting.

1696
00:59:11,740 --> 00:59:11,920
Remarkable.

1697
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,720
Confrontation that Bondi had with Bongino in the

1698
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:17,620
presence of the- He broke the story.

1699
00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:19,480
Chief of Staff at the White House.

1700
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:21,060
No, I'm just making that up.

1701
00:59:21,100 --> 00:59:22,120
It sounds good that way.

1702
00:59:22,380 --> 00:59:24,240
No, in the presence of the Chief of

1703
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:25,740
Staff at the White House on Wednesday.

1704
00:59:25,980 --> 00:59:27,060
Well, Jon, let me be clear.

1705
00:59:27,700 --> 00:59:30,280
There's always a natural tension between the Justice

1706
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,880
Department prosecutors and the FBI investigators.

1707
00:59:33,060 --> 00:59:34,520
Let's get that out in the open.

1708
00:59:34,740 --> 00:59:35,380
Is that true?

1709
00:59:36,900 --> 00:59:38,340
I don't know that to be true.

1710
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:39,580
Is there always a tension?

1711
00:59:40,300 --> 00:59:41,000
Play it again.

1712
00:59:41,180 --> 00:59:42,960
He said, let me be clear, let me

1713
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:43,660
be clear.

1714
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:44,600
Let me be clear.

1715
00:59:45,180 --> 00:59:47,800
There's always a natural tension between the Justice

1716
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,420
Department prosecutors and the FBI investigators.

1717
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,080
Let's get that out in the open.

1718
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,780
I don't know what that even means.

1719
00:59:54,780 --> 00:59:56,140
I don't know if I agree with that.

1720
00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:00,460
But this confrontation was unusual in its intensity,

1721
01:00:00,620 --> 01:00:01,060
I'm told.

1722
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:01,760
I'm told.

1723
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,080
Bondi allegedly accusing- Allegedly.

1724
01:00:04,540 --> 01:00:07,100
Bongino of leaking negative information about her.

1725
01:00:07,580 --> 01:00:08,320
He denied it.

1726
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,740
And again- What negative information?

1727
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:12,700
I didn't hear that.

1728
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,060
I didn't get any negative information.

1729
01:00:14,060 --> 01:00:15,640
Let me give you the basis of one

1730
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:16,960
of the reasons that I wrote up the

1731
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:17,300
newsletter.

1732
01:00:17,620 --> 01:00:21,600
I first heard about the Bongino-Bondi deal

1733
01:00:22,540 --> 01:00:25,440
early in the morning of, I guess it

1734
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:26,560
was, was it Friday?

1735
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:27,700
I was driving around.

1736
01:00:27,860 --> 01:00:28,420
It must've been Friday.

1737
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:29,340
Friday, yeah.

1738
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:31,100
Yeah, Friday, early morning.

1739
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,320
I'm one of the right-wing talkers.

1740
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,280
That's a nondescript guy, one of them.

1741
01:00:37,420 --> 01:00:38,460
And it was very early.

1742
01:00:38,540 --> 01:00:39,680
It was like at nine in the morning.

1743
01:00:39,820 --> 01:00:40,900
I was- Wait a minute, wait a

1744
01:00:40,900 --> 01:00:41,000
minute.

1745
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,080
You were driving around at nine in the

1746
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:43,320
morning?

1747
01:00:43,380 --> 01:00:44,560
I had to go to the post office.

1748
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:45,940
I had a bunch of errands to do.

1749
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:47,900
Okay, I just, I'm happy to hear it.

1750
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:48,320
You got out.

1751
01:00:48,500 --> 01:00:49,900
And I also, well, I also, yeah.

1752
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,520
And I also, I did a hit on

1753
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,560
Chanel Rihanna's- You did a hit?

1754
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:57,720
Yeah, I'm gonna do a, try to do

1755
01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:59,100
a hit on her show as much as

1756
01:00:59,100 --> 01:00:59,420
I can.

1757
01:00:59,460 --> 01:01:00,580
Oh, what is, is she on the radio?

1758
01:01:00,580 --> 01:01:01,720
10 minutes, boom, I'm in.

1759
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:02,460
Is she on the radio?

1760
01:01:02,460 --> 01:01:02,780
No, TV.

1761
01:01:03,220 --> 01:01:06,120
No, OANN, the Voice of America.

1762
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:07,480
You were on OANN?

1763
01:01:08,060 --> 01:01:08,980
Yeah, yeah.

1764
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:10,320
With video?

1765
01:01:11,620 --> 01:01:12,860
Yeah, I have a camera.

1766
01:01:12,860 --> 01:01:15,840
No, how come I don't know about this?

1767
01:01:16,060 --> 01:01:17,360
Well, I don't know about a lot of

1768
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:18,200
stuff you're doing.

1769
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,260
When it, as it develops, as it develops,

1770
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:22,520
we'll talk about it.

1771
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:24,840
Okay, well, this is good for you.

1772
01:01:25,180 --> 01:01:27,060
Yeah, I got a much better looking host.

1773
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,200
Did you, did you promote the No Agenda

1774
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:29,560
show?

1775
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:30,600
Yeah, of course.

1776
01:01:30,740 --> 01:01:31,760
I had it in the lower third.

1777
01:01:34,220 --> 01:01:36,180
O, OANN, OANN?

1778
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:37,820
The One American News Network.

1779
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:40,800
I'm looking for them.

1780
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:41,700
Okay, all right.

1781
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:43,560
There you are.

1782
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,320
There you are.

1783
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:46,640
It was just two weeks ago.

1784
01:01:47,420 --> 01:01:49,240
No, that was, that's the first time I

1785
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:49,820
did it.

1786
01:01:49,940 --> 01:01:51,500
But you're doing this all the time.

1787
01:01:52,300 --> 01:01:53,880
I'm not doing it all the time, but

1788
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,740
I worked up a gag bit, one of

1789
01:01:56,740 --> 01:01:58,700
these things that you could do on Fridays

1790
01:01:58,700 --> 01:02:00,800
that I could come on, do a quick

1791
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:01,800
10 minute hit.

1792
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:03,500
You look bald.

1793
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:04,980
You look bald in this.

1794
01:02:05,140 --> 01:02:06,400
You need some, you need better lighting.

1795
01:02:06,820 --> 01:02:07,620
You need better lighting.

1796
01:02:07,660 --> 01:02:08,640
I need better lighting on my hair.

1797
01:02:09,340 --> 01:02:12,060
You were on Fine Point is what you

1798
01:02:12,060 --> 01:02:13,220
were on, Fine Point.

1799
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:14,880
Yeah, Fine Point.

1800
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:15,760
Fine Point, okay.

1801
01:02:15,860 --> 01:02:20,220
And so the idea, okay, well, we'll talk

1802
01:02:20,220 --> 01:02:20,760
about it later.

1803
01:02:20,940 --> 01:02:22,960
You're, you're, you're working on an exit strategy

1804
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:24,200
and not telling me about it.

1805
01:02:24,460 --> 01:02:26,380
Believe me, the whole thing is to promote

1806
01:02:26,380 --> 01:02:28,280
this show that I'm on right now.

1807
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,160
That's the, the exit strategy is to make

1808
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:32,680
more money for No Agenda.

1809
01:02:33,540 --> 01:02:35,240
That's the exit strategy.

1810
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,640
Here you are talking about Musk and Trump.

1811
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:40,720
Okay, you got the blurred background.

1812
01:02:40,860 --> 01:02:41,460
That's your problem.

1813
01:02:41,460 --> 01:02:44,420
You look like Jesse, Jesse Ventura.

1814
01:02:45,740 --> 01:02:46,140
Yes.

1815
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,260
Well, that, that's the original of my, that's

1816
01:02:48,260 --> 01:02:49,760
my original showing on that show.

1817
01:02:49,820 --> 01:02:51,320
But then I did the show this last

1818
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:56,000
Friday and with Chanel and it's a different

1819
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:56,280
bit.

1820
01:02:56,340 --> 01:02:57,960
I got a whole bit I'm working on.

1821
01:02:58,060 --> 01:03:01,720
It's, it's, it's, you'll get, eventually we'll talk

1822
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:02,080
about it.

1823
01:03:02,140 --> 01:03:04,680
Okay, so good for you, man.

1824
01:03:04,900 --> 01:03:05,440
Good for you.

1825
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:07,680
It's for the show.

1826
01:03:07,740 --> 01:03:08,740
Yes, good for the show.

1827
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:10,060
Good for you.

1828
01:03:10,140 --> 01:03:10,820
Good for the show.

1829
01:03:10,820 --> 01:03:13,780
I'm complimenting you except for the Jesse Ventura

1830
01:03:13,780 --> 01:03:14,180
look.

1831
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:15,060
That's kind of odd.

1832
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,100
So, uh, where was I?

1833
01:03:18,180 --> 01:03:18,740
I don't know.

1834
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,160
You were talking about you, you did a

1835
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:22,680
hit, you were driving around.

1836
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:24,660
I was out and about and I heard

1837
01:03:24,660 --> 01:03:26,280
this and I said, well, this is interesting.

1838
01:03:26,340 --> 01:03:27,940
So I went back and started listening to

1839
01:03:27,940 --> 01:03:30,480
Fox saying, where, where's the story?

1840
01:03:30,580 --> 01:03:33,780
It took Fox from about 10 in the

1841
01:03:33,780 --> 01:03:37,360
morning when that story broke off on early

1842
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,480
morning, uh, talk shows.

1843
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:40,560
It broke.

1844
01:03:40,820 --> 01:03:43,160
And then it took him about six hours

1845
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,000
before Fox picked it up.

1846
01:03:45,100 --> 01:03:46,240
And they started, I think it was Brett

1847
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:47,900
Bar, maybe in the first one to bring

1848
01:03:47,900 --> 01:03:48,260
it in.

1849
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,300
And then it became part of the cycle

1850
01:03:50,300 --> 01:03:52,140
of the Bongino thing.

1851
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:54,280
And, but then I started looking into it

1852
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:55,580
and I saw these, you know, you saw

1853
01:03:55,580 --> 01:03:57,300
the pictures that I heard in, I knew

1854
01:03:57,300 --> 01:04:00,520
about Bongino complaining and he, this is not

1855
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:01,840
a job for a guy like that.

1856
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:03,240
He doesn't want this job.

1857
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,420
So the whole thing was somewhat fake to

1858
01:04:05,420 --> 01:04:05,960
begin with.

1859
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:08,760
I mean, he took this job because it

1860
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:10,000
would seem like a good idea at the

1861
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:10,300
time.

1862
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:11,520
He wasn't thinking clearly.

1863
01:04:12,420 --> 01:04:14,620
And then he, what am I doing here

1864
01:04:14,620 --> 01:04:16,560
is the, is the message I got.

1865
01:04:17,060 --> 01:04:19,820
All right, let's continue with the, with Pierre.

1866
01:04:20,940 --> 01:04:23,860
It was very intense is the reporting that

1867
01:04:23,860 --> 01:04:24,340
we have.

1868
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:25,740
And he stormed out of the meeting.

1869
01:04:26,580 --> 01:04:28,140
That's some of the reporting we have.

1870
01:04:28,340 --> 01:04:28,640
Absolutely.

1871
01:04:29,020 --> 01:04:30,180
And here's why it matters.

1872
01:04:30,620 --> 01:04:32,940
These are two of the principal people who

1873
01:04:32,940 --> 01:04:35,840
oversee the nation's national security in terms of

1874
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,780
terrorism, counter espionage, the relationship and how they

1875
01:04:38,780 --> 01:04:40,180
get along does actually matter.

1876
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:41,740
It doesn't really work if the deputy FBI

1877
01:04:41,740 --> 01:04:43,900
director who runs the FBI day-to-day

1878
01:04:43,900 --> 01:04:45,980
is not basically on speaking terms with the

1879
01:04:45,980 --> 01:04:46,680
attorney general.

1880
01:04:47,500 --> 01:04:47,980
Okay.

1881
01:04:48,420 --> 01:04:50,360
Now let's go to the next clip here.

1882
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,740
Let me, let me ask you though, there's

1883
01:04:52,740 --> 01:04:54,340
been a lot of- They're not on

1884
01:04:54,340 --> 01:04:55,500
speaking terms.

1885
01:04:56,060 --> 01:05:00,720
Apparently, according to sources, Chanel's kind of cute.

1886
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:02,680
Oh, she's a beauty.

1887
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,960
Rion, Rion, Chanel.

1888
01:05:05,260 --> 01:05:06,580
I had never even heard of this woman.

1889
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:08,060
Chanel Rion.

1890
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:09,720
Bondi's ordered this investigation.

1891
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:12,740
Give me a sense of how much they've

1892
01:05:12,740 --> 01:05:14,160
actually spent on Epstein.

1893
01:05:14,620 --> 01:05:16,420
Well, at one point we had literally hundreds

1894
01:05:16,420 --> 01:05:19,100
of agents who were tasked with getting together

1895
01:05:19,100 --> 01:05:19,780
these files.

1896
01:05:19,900 --> 01:05:20,440
Wait a minute, wait a minute.

1897
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:22,220
Hundreds of FBI agents.

1898
01:05:22,980 --> 01:05:24,320
That's the information that we had.

1899
01:05:24,420 --> 01:05:27,420
Today we're told, get this information to a

1900
01:05:27,420 --> 01:05:29,540
point where some decisions could be made about

1901
01:05:29,540 --> 01:05:31,520
what to release and not to release.

1902
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:33,380
And now the answer is they looked into

1903
01:05:33,380 --> 01:05:34,860
it and they basically didn't find anything.

1904
01:05:34,860 --> 01:05:35,960
Well, at the end of the day, what

1905
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:37,720
the memo that they put out last weekend

1906
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:41,120
said is that he committed suicide and that

1907
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:42,820
there are limitations on what they're willing to

1908
01:05:42,820 --> 01:05:43,680
release to the public.

1909
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:45,320
And that's where it stands.

1910
01:05:45,500 --> 01:05:47,000
Okay, I want to ask you before I've

1911
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:48,800
got you, there was another remarkable story.

1912
01:05:49,300 --> 01:05:51,600
Notice they don't actually talk about the facts

1913
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:52,340
of the story.

1914
01:05:52,420 --> 01:05:53,940
They only talk about the fallout.

1915
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,060
They're not talking at all about is this

1916
01:05:56,060 --> 01:05:56,420
true?

1917
01:05:56,540 --> 01:05:57,420
Could this be true?

1918
01:05:57,820 --> 01:05:58,480
Is this something?

1919
01:05:58,640 --> 01:05:59,620
No, there's none of that.

1920
01:05:59,700 --> 01:06:01,560
It's only about the blow up.

1921
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:03,200
Yeah, that's that.

1922
01:06:03,340 --> 01:06:04,900
Because that's their point of interest.

1923
01:06:05,020 --> 01:06:06,340
They don't care about the facts.

1924
01:06:07,860 --> 01:06:09,820
You know, the more I hear from this

1925
01:06:09,820 --> 01:06:12,500
report and this other stuff, I'm beginning to

1926
01:06:12,500 --> 01:06:13,980
agree with Alex Jones.

1927
01:06:15,860 --> 01:06:18,000
Whose thesis is that there was a lot

1928
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,160
of good blackmail material in here, why are

1929
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:21,740
we going to waste it by releasing it

1930
01:06:21,740 --> 01:06:22,360
to the public?

1931
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,740
Oh, is that 5D chess?

1932
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:28,840
It's 18,000 D chess.

1933
01:06:28,940 --> 01:06:30,260
Is that what you're talking now?

1934
01:06:30,260 --> 01:06:32,940
And that is that the FBI has been

1935
01:06:32,940 --> 01:06:36,580
doing polygraph tests on its own workforce.

1936
01:06:36,740 --> 01:06:38,640
And then among the questions that are being

1937
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,100
asked is, have you said anything negative about

1938
01:06:41,100 --> 01:06:42,740
FBI Director Kash Patel?

1939
01:06:43,180 --> 01:06:45,300
Wow, this is great.

1940
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,220
They're doing polys on their own people about

1941
01:06:48,220 --> 01:06:49,000
the director?

1942
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:50,200
Now, come on.

1943
01:06:50,380 --> 01:06:51,980
Well, let me be clear.

1944
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,840
They're always leak investigations and polygraphs and that

1945
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:56,360
sort of thing.

1946
01:06:56,420 --> 01:06:59,380
It's been expanded from what our reporting is.

1947
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,580
And we do know that there's real concern

1948
01:07:02,580 --> 01:07:04,040
about the so-called deep state.

1949
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:06,500
And they've been asking questions trying to get

1950
01:07:06,500 --> 01:07:09,520
at whether any of these people had political

1951
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:12,400
motivations in terms of the prosecution of former,

1952
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:16,780
then candidate Donald Trump, and now President Donald

1953
01:07:16,780 --> 01:07:17,060
Trump.

1954
01:07:17,460 --> 01:07:20,080
And so they're digging around again to make

1955
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:21,680
sure in their mind they want to be

1956
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,180
comfortable that they're not people still within the

1957
01:07:24,180 --> 01:07:24,300
government.

1958
01:07:24,300 --> 01:07:25,980
I mean, that is pretty extraordinary though to

1959
01:07:25,980 --> 01:07:27,440
see that to being asked, have you said

1960
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:28,860
anything negative about the director?

1961
01:07:28,860 --> 01:07:31,100
Well, some of the questions we're told have

1962
01:07:31,100 --> 01:07:34,660
to do with associations and political, for example,

1963
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:35,320
Pete Strzok.

1964
01:07:35,660 --> 01:07:37,500
Some of the people who are known to

1965
01:07:37,500 --> 01:07:38,960
have said negative things, they want to know,

1966
01:07:39,260 --> 01:07:40,820
have you been associated with those kinds of

1967
01:07:40,820 --> 01:07:41,080
people?

1968
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,020
So it gets back to the issue of

1969
01:07:43,020 --> 01:07:44,940
loyalty and whether they're fair or not to

1970
01:07:44,940 --> 01:07:45,560
President Trump.

1971
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,440
Now loyalty tests, that's what they're talking about.

1972
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:49,480
Loyalty tests.

1973
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:51,520
Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with

1974
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:51,780
that.

1975
01:07:52,300 --> 01:07:54,700
I mean, but could they get one person

1976
01:07:54,700 --> 01:07:56,160
on the record for once?

1977
01:07:57,700 --> 01:07:58,680
The final clip.

1978
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,040
Tonight, turmoil at the top levels of the

1979
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:01,900
Justice Department.

1980
01:08:02,420 --> 01:08:03,600
Sources tell ABC- Oh, I see.

1981
01:08:03,740 --> 01:08:06,000
So this is Pierre Thomas, he did the

1982
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,480
full segment and this is like a promo,

1983
01:08:08,540 --> 01:08:10,760
what we just heard was the promo of

1984
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:12,180
his deep investigation.

1985
01:08:12,580 --> 01:08:14,840
Tonight, turmoil at the top levels of the

1986
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:15,680
Justice Department.

1987
01:08:16,220 --> 01:08:18,620
Sources tell ABC News of a fiery confrontation

1988
01:08:18,620 --> 01:08:22,260
between Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino and Attorney

1989
01:08:22,260 --> 01:08:25,160
General Pam Bondi over the department's handling of

1990
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,120
the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

1991
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,740
Sources tell us Bongino did not come to

1992
01:08:30,740 --> 01:08:33,020
work today and has told allies he may

1993
01:08:33,020 --> 01:08:33,460
resign.

1994
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:33,860
Allies!

1995
01:08:33,860 --> 01:08:36,220
For years, Bongino, a former podcast- Why

1996
01:08:36,220 --> 01:08:38,819
wouldn't you just say friends, colleagues?

1997
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:39,640
Why allies?

1998
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,660
That is misleading.

1999
01:08:44,140 --> 01:08:45,260
That's a loaded word.

2000
01:08:45,420 --> 01:08:48,380
Yeah, to say allies, meaning there's more people

2001
01:08:48,380 --> 01:08:50,779
like Bongino who think like he does.

2002
01:08:51,020 --> 01:08:51,939
Jeffrey Epstein.

2003
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,580
Sources tell us Bongino did not come to

2004
01:08:54,580 --> 01:08:56,859
work today and has told allies he may

2005
01:08:56,859 --> 01:08:57,460
resign.

2006
01:08:57,460 --> 01:09:00,120
For years, Bongino, a former podcast host and

2007
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,939
his boss, FBI Director Kash Patel, stoked conspiracy

2008
01:09:03,939 --> 01:09:07,700
theories over Epstein's death, insisting shadowy forces within

2009
01:09:07,700 --> 01:09:10,399
the government engaged in a massive cover-up.

2010
01:09:10,460 --> 01:09:11,600
Folks, you're going to see a lot of

2011
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:12,359
names on that.

2012
01:09:13,060 --> 01:09:15,680
The Epstein client list, I believe, based on

2013
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:17,819
what I've heard from sources, the story I

2014
01:09:17,819 --> 01:09:18,920
just told you, basically.

2015
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,140
It's going to rock the political world.

2016
01:09:21,420 --> 01:09:22,899
There's a reason they're hiding it.

2017
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,819
Attorney General Bondi promised to deliver answers.

2018
01:09:25,819 --> 01:09:28,560
The DOJ may be releasing the list of

2019
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:29,920
Jeffrey Epstein's clients?

2020
01:09:30,420 --> 01:09:31,279
Will that really happen?

2021
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:33,939
It's sitting on my desk right now to

2022
01:09:33,939 --> 01:09:34,399
review.

2023
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,740
But this week, DOJ released a memo saying

2024
01:09:36,740 --> 01:09:38,880
there's actually no client list at all.

2025
01:09:39,060 --> 01:09:40,520
Bondi asked to explain.

2026
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,040
I was asked a question about the client

2027
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:47,060
list and my response was, it's sitting on

2028
01:09:47,060 --> 01:09:50,500
my desk to be reviewed, meaning the file

2029
01:09:50,500 --> 01:09:55,260
along with the JFK, MLK files as well.

2030
01:09:55,260 --> 01:09:56,740
That's what I meant by that.

2031
01:09:57,060 --> 01:09:59,520
DOJ also said Epstein did in fact die

2032
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,940
by suicide and that there was no credible

2033
01:10:01,940 --> 01:10:05,380
evidence found that he blackmailed prominent individuals and

2034
01:10:05,380 --> 01:10:07,380
declared he would not be releasing any more

2035
01:10:07,380 --> 01:10:08,860
information about the case.

2036
01:10:09,300 --> 01:10:11,600
President Trump on Tuesday tried to change the

2037
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:11,940
subject.

2038
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:14,360
People still talking about this guy, this creep?

2039
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,180
That is unbelievable.

2040
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,300
All week long, growing outrage from some of

2041
01:10:20,300 --> 01:10:22,860
Trump's top supporters who are counting on the

2042
01:10:22,860 --> 01:10:25,420
release of the Epstein files and are now

2043
01:10:25,420 --> 01:10:26,460
demanding answers.

2044
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:30,660
I find it frappant that you are starting

2045
01:10:30,660 --> 01:10:32,660
to agree with Alex Jones.

2046
01:10:33,780 --> 01:10:36,260
I'm not starting to agree with Alex Jones

2047
01:10:36,260 --> 01:10:39,380
because I just say I agree with Alex

2048
01:10:39,380 --> 01:10:39,800
Jones.

2049
01:10:39,980 --> 01:10:40,440
I'm not starting.

2050
01:10:40,440 --> 01:10:41,620
Oh, you're not even starting.

2051
01:10:41,980 --> 01:10:42,540
You're in.

2052
01:10:42,540 --> 01:10:44,620
No, but I'm in agreement with one of

2053
01:10:44,620 --> 01:10:45,160
his points.

2054
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:47,000
I mean, Alex says a lot of crazy

2055
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,920
stuff, but this argument that he made that

2056
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,620
the blackmail list is too valuable to just

2057
01:10:52,620 --> 01:10:54,840
release, why do that when you can use

2058
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:55,900
it for political leverage?

2059
01:10:55,980 --> 01:10:58,840
And Trump's now a smart politician after being

2060
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:02,120
railroad in 2020 and then they have four

2061
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,280
years to stew in his own juices.

2062
01:11:05,060 --> 01:11:07,080
I can see where this could come in

2063
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:07,660
quite handy.

2064
01:11:07,780 --> 01:11:09,200
So I think Alex Jones may be onto

2065
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:10,280
some good idea.

2066
01:11:10,460 --> 01:11:13,040
Now, there's something that these guys didn't mention.

2067
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:14,540
You haven't mentioned, nobody mentions.

2068
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,980
I heard another one of the clips I

2069
01:11:16,980 --> 01:11:19,320
didn't get because it was on TV.

2070
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,700
Because you're too busy doing hits with Chanel.

2071
01:11:24,660 --> 01:11:28,600
So I don't like chemicals in the water

2072
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,720
that turn the frigging frogs gay.

2073
01:11:31,700 --> 01:11:34,160
Which is, you know, that is true.

2074
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:34,700
It's true.

2075
01:11:34,940 --> 01:11:35,740
At the scene.

2076
01:11:35,860 --> 01:11:36,740
I mean, that was true.

2077
01:11:37,060 --> 01:11:37,280
It's true.

2078
01:11:37,500 --> 01:11:39,200
It's just the way he puts things.

2079
01:11:39,300 --> 01:11:41,120
Sometimes it's a little off putting.

2080
01:11:41,700 --> 01:11:45,500
But Dershowitz came out and said he saw

2081
01:11:45,500 --> 01:11:46,200
the list.

2082
01:11:46,380 --> 01:11:47,940
We played that clip, didn't we?

2083
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:49,600
Well, maybe we did.

2084
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:50,180
No, hold on.

2085
01:11:50,260 --> 01:11:51,060
I have the.

2086
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:53,260
Oh, Dershowitz saw the list.

2087
01:11:53,260 --> 01:11:54,760
He says there's a lot of names on

2088
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:56,520
there that would be very upsetting if they

2089
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:57,420
were ever released.

2090
01:11:57,540 --> 01:11:57,800
Yes.

2091
01:11:58,060 --> 01:12:00,060
He says that he's under court order not

2092
01:12:00,060 --> 01:12:01,060
to talk about it.

2093
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:01,380
Yes.

2094
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:02,880
Yes.

2095
01:12:03,340 --> 01:12:05,460
You know, OK, so question.

2096
01:12:06,260 --> 01:12:09,300
Why wouldn't Trump then just say, oh, we

2097
01:12:09,300 --> 01:12:09,960
got the list.

2098
01:12:11,220 --> 01:12:12,180
I'm going to use it.

2099
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:14,580
Why not just say it?

2100
01:12:15,480 --> 01:12:17,140
I think that would be a very.

2101
01:12:17,700 --> 01:12:20,220
Well, that's a good question, because I think.

2102
01:12:20,660 --> 01:12:24,100
I think this had to be mulled over,

2103
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:26,380
probably discussed with Susie Wiles and others.

2104
01:12:26,460 --> 01:12:27,900
You have to have a meeting about this.

2105
01:12:28,020 --> 01:12:29,820
And the conclusion, if I was in the

2106
01:12:29,820 --> 01:12:31,800
room, I would have probably brought this up

2107
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,660
the same way, which is that, well, here's

2108
01:12:33,660 --> 01:12:36,360
the problem with doing exactly that, Mr. President,

2109
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:38,320
even though you want to, because I think

2110
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:39,080
he would want to.

2111
01:12:39,480 --> 01:12:42,180
Yes, it is that it would give the

2112
01:12:42,180 --> 01:12:46,260
Democrats fodder to an extreme because there's no

2113
01:12:46,260 --> 01:12:52,560
there's blackmailing operation to just talk about it

2114
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,180
and to bring it out in the open

2115
01:12:54,180 --> 01:12:56,400
and say, yes, we're a blackmailing operation.

2116
01:12:56,540 --> 01:12:58,600
It's just going to confirm the gangster like

2117
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:02,100
aspect of the presidency, which we've been saying

2118
01:13:02,100 --> 01:13:03,500
the president's a gangster.

2119
01:13:03,500 --> 01:13:04,680
And this is proof.

2120
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:05,400
Yes.

2121
01:13:06,140 --> 01:13:08,680
I think we elected a gangster, didn't we?

2122
01:13:08,740 --> 01:13:09,020
Yeah.

2123
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:13,040
They're not going to go and admit it.

2124
01:13:13,220 --> 01:13:13,360
No.

2125
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:14,220
All right.

2126
01:13:14,620 --> 01:13:15,960
It's also illegal.

2127
01:13:17,220 --> 01:13:17,700
Yes.

2128
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,520
Well, we have seen people ejected from the

2129
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:22,180
Secret Service.

2130
01:13:22,740 --> 01:13:25,700
And of course, we had the 1300 fired

2131
01:13:25,700 --> 01:13:28,200
from the State Department, which I think was

2132
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:29,840
still kind of the doge cleanup.

2133
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:34,580
But, you know, we need to keep an

2134
01:13:34,580 --> 01:13:34,720
eye.

2135
01:13:34,780 --> 01:13:38,440
Is anyone secretly going, resigning to spend more

2136
01:13:38,440 --> 01:13:39,460
time with their family?

2137
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:44,840
You know, that's about all I can think

2138
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:46,360
of anyway.

2139
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,680
Well, this is definitely fun to watch.

2140
01:13:49,900 --> 01:13:51,760
But at the same time, it's just bullcrap.

2141
01:13:51,860 --> 01:13:54,300
There's all this stuff going on, you know,

2142
01:13:54,380 --> 01:13:55,680
and there's a there's a lot.

2143
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:56,740
Did you know?

2144
01:13:57,180 --> 01:14:00,540
Did you know that as we actually just

2145
01:14:00,540 --> 01:14:05,560
ended that there was a whole meeting in

2146
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:07,600
in Italy?

2147
01:14:09,420 --> 01:14:13,180
An entire conference, the Ukraine Recovery Conference.

2148
01:14:13,900 --> 01:14:16,060
No, I did not know that, of course.

2149
01:14:16,060 --> 01:14:18,400
Would I know that I'm watching mainstream media?

2150
01:14:18,700 --> 01:14:19,700
Here's presidents.

2151
01:14:19,860 --> 01:14:20,660
Everyone was there.

2152
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,020
And Georgia was right up front and center.

2153
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:23,900
Georgia Maloney.

2154
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:25,160
Everybody's there.

2155
01:14:25,260 --> 01:14:27,460
This is to we're already recovering.

2156
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,180
We still have a war, supposedly.

2157
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:33,840
But everybody's recovering from recovering Ukraine.

2158
01:14:33,940 --> 01:14:34,640
Here's Zelensky.

2159
01:14:35,020 --> 01:14:37,320
And he this guy, this guy.

2160
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,300
We know what Russia has destroyed and we

2161
01:14:40,300 --> 01:14:44,060
know what it will take to rebuild Ukraine,

2162
01:14:44,740 --> 01:14:46,880
Ukrainian people, our lives.

2163
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,520
And we also need a clear recovery plan.

2164
01:14:51,180 --> 01:14:54,780
Think of the role the Marshall Plan played

2165
01:14:54,780 --> 01:14:57,520
in rebuilding and transforming Europe.

2166
01:14:57,840 --> 01:14:58,940
You want to know?

2167
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:00,380
No, we're not.

2168
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,440
We're not going to pay for a Marshall

2169
01:15:02,440 --> 01:15:03,040
Plan.

2170
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:08,140
That's why Europe has enjoyed peace and economic

2171
01:15:08,140 --> 01:15:08,720
growth.

2172
01:15:08,820 --> 01:15:09,400
Lots of peace.

2173
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:12,300
Many European peace.

2174
01:15:12,420 --> 01:15:12,980
The peace.

2175
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:14,200
There's a lot of peace going on.

2176
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:18,320
Real opportunity to spark a new wave of

2177
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:18,840
progress.

2178
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:22,000
We need a Marshall Plan style approach and

2179
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:23,860
we should develop it together.

2180
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:24,700
Together.

2181
01:15:25,480 --> 01:15:29,460
Rebuilding Ukraine is not just not just about

2182
01:15:29,460 --> 01:15:30,160
our country.

2183
01:15:30,660 --> 01:15:34,860
It's also about your countries, your companies, your

2184
01:15:34,860 --> 01:15:36,560
technology, your jobs.

2185
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,980
The way we rebuild our country can also

2186
01:15:39,980 --> 01:15:43,300
modernize your infrastructure and industries.

2187
01:15:43,300 --> 01:15:46,080
And then the Queen Ursula in attendance.

2188
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:48,880
And well, it's pretty clear.

2189
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:52,120
I can announce one billion euro payment in

2190
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:53,820
macro financial support.

2191
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:54,400
Dear Vladimir.

2192
01:16:00,930 --> 01:16:02,010
What's micro?

2193
01:16:02,170 --> 01:16:04,770
What's a billion in micro financing?

2194
01:16:05,250 --> 01:16:06,730
Well, it means it's not a lot of

2195
01:16:06,730 --> 01:16:07,030
money.

2196
01:16:07,730 --> 01:16:08,530
Now it's a billion.

2197
01:16:08,870 --> 01:16:09,930
It's only a billion.

2198
01:16:10,410 --> 01:16:12,910
I think micro finance is to give to

2199
01:16:12,910 --> 01:16:13,910
small businesses.

2200
01:16:13,910 --> 01:16:15,670
Oh, she's going to take the billion and

2201
01:16:15,670 --> 01:16:16,770
divvy it up.

2202
01:16:16,890 --> 01:16:17,090
Yes.

2203
01:16:17,110 --> 01:16:20,110
Everybody gets a Venmo and they all get

2204
01:16:20,110 --> 01:16:20,730
some cash.

2205
01:16:25,490 --> 01:16:26,910
Wait, wait, stop again.

2206
01:16:28,610 --> 01:16:31,390
Now, doesn't micro financing is something that takes

2207
01:16:31,390 --> 01:16:34,970
place in Africa where people are dirt poor.

2208
01:16:35,110 --> 01:16:37,090
They have no money whatsoever.

2209
01:16:37,190 --> 01:16:38,590
And they're living in mud huts.

2210
01:16:38,810 --> 01:16:40,250
Yes, that's micro finance.

2211
01:16:40,470 --> 01:16:41,330
So they're doing this.

2212
01:16:41,430 --> 01:16:42,090
Now they're going to do.

2213
01:16:42,290 --> 01:16:44,470
So that's how they see Ukraine.

2214
01:16:44,470 --> 01:16:47,590
Well, there's a highly civilized country with a

2215
01:16:47,590 --> 01:16:48,350
lot of horrors.

2216
01:16:48,990 --> 01:16:49,810
There's more.

2217
01:16:49,930 --> 01:16:50,650
There's more money.

2218
01:16:50,710 --> 01:16:52,090
That's just the micro finance.

2219
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:58,000
I can also announce a payment of more

2220
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:01,100
than three billion euros from the Ukraine facility.

2221
01:17:01,480 --> 01:17:02,760
It's the Ukraine facility.

2222
01:17:03,060 --> 01:17:04,620
I don't know where that came from, other

2223
01:17:04,620 --> 01:17:06,340
than from the European taxpayers.

2224
01:17:08,820 --> 01:17:11,960
And this guarantees and grants that we are

2225
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:13,920
signing here today, you said in Georgia and

2226
01:17:14,740 --> 01:17:15,740
it's outstanding.

2227
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,160
They'll throw Georgia under the bus.

2228
01:17:18,300 --> 01:17:19,760
I guess she thinks it's outstanding.

2229
01:17:20,140 --> 01:17:23,880
They are set to unlock 10 billion euros

2230
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:28,120
in investment for growth, recovery and reconstruction of

2231
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:28,540
Ukraine.

2232
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:29,160
Yeah.

2233
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:30,920
The war is not even over.

2234
01:17:31,540 --> 01:17:33,100
This is what puzzles me.

2235
01:17:33,740 --> 01:17:35,220
It's like, did they already have the room

2236
01:17:35,220 --> 01:17:35,600
booked?

2237
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,620
Like, well, it was supposed to be over

2238
01:17:38,620 --> 01:17:39,140
by now.

2239
01:17:39,480 --> 01:17:40,100
What are we going to do?

2240
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:40,500
We got this.

2241
01:17:40,500 --> 01:17:44,800
We got the ballroom like we might as

2242
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:45,140
well.

2243
01:17:45,820 --> 01:17:49,140
And we will ensure that Ukraine is supported

2244
01:17:49,140 --> 01:17:53,280
until 2028 and beyond when the new European

2245
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:54,700
budget kicks in.

2246
01:17:55,340 --> 01:17:57,620
Ukraine stands ready to proceed with the next

2247
01:17:57,620 --> 01:17:59,140
step on the accession path.

2248
01:17:59,700 --> 01:18:02,280
Ukraine is delivering on its reforms.

2249
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:06,080
Now we must too, because the accession process

2250
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:10,380
is based on merits and Ukraine merits moving

2251
01:18:10,380 --> 01:18:10,760
forward.

2252
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,180
The commission is very clear.

2253
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,940
Ukraine is ready to open cluster one, the

2254
01:18:16,940 --> 01:18:18,500
fundamentals cluster.

2255
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:19,920
Cluster one.

2256
01:18:20,060 --> 01:18:21,580
I don't even know what that is, but

2257
01:18:21,580 --> 01:18:21,980
we're ready.

2258
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:23,160
It was like phase one.

2259
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:23,500
Yeah.

2260
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:27,100
Now we have to act to move forward

2261
01:18:27,100 --> 01:18:31,680
for millions of Ukrainians, soldiers, teachers, doctors, farmers,

2262
01:18:31,780 --> 01:18:33,660
you name it, you name it for Ukrainians

2263
01:18:33,660 --> 01:18:35,240
from all walks of life.

2264
01:18:35,540 --> 01:18:38,740
And for them, the future has two flags.

2265
01:18:39,380 --> 01:18:42,440
The flags of Ukraine and the pride flag

2266
01:18:42,440 --> 01:18:44,180
and the flags of Europe.

2267
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:51,280
This recovery conference is all about bringing Ukraine

2268
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:55,700
and its future to Europe and Ukraine's future

2269
01:18:55,700 --> 01:18:56,500
is in Europe.

2270
01:18:56,820 --> 01:18:58,280
Let's make it happen together.

2271
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:01,080
Slava Ukraine, long live Europe.

2272
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:02,200
There you go.

2273
01:19:02,340 --> 01:19:03,560
We're going to make it happen.

2274
01:19:03,740 --> 01:19:05,520
Now, how is this going to happen?

2275
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:08,100
Because in the meantime, we have all kinds

2276
01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:10,700
of stuff going on with weapons, which we're

2277
01:19:10,700 --> 01:19:13,660
not giving, by the way, we're selling the

2278
01:19:13,660 --> 01:19:14,040
weapons.

2279
01:19:14,700 --> 01:19:16,760
And I was blown away.

2280
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:18,980
I this this is a by the way,

2281
01:19:19,020 --> 01:19:20,940
she did use the word grant in there,

2282
01:19:20,980 --> 01:19:21,540
if you noticed.

2283
01:19:21,780 --> 01:19:22,620
Yeah, of course.

2284
01:19:23,020 --> 01:19:24,820
Ten billion worth of grants, whatever.

2285
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:28,820
I thought this was a European gambit, but

2286
01:19:28,820 --> 01:19:30,700
now we're trying to take away the money.

2287
01:19:30,820 --> 01:19:32,420
We go now to Congressman French Hill.

2288
01:19:32,420 --> 01:19:34,320
He is the chair of the House Financial

2289
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:35,540
Services Committee.

2290
01:19:36,060 --> 01:19:37,940
Welcome back to the broadcast.

2291
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:40,920
Your ears must have been ringing with the

2292
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:42,800
two senators who started the program because they

2293
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,480
were talking about grabbing some of those frozen

2294
01:19:45,480 --> 01:19:46,720
Russian assets.

2295
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,680
You moved a bill and gave the president

2296
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:53,080
authority to actually seize them during the last

2297
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:55,280
administration under the Repo Act.

2298
01:19:55,420 --> 01:19:59,480
The US has never before seized central bank

2299
01:19:59,480 --> 01:20:01,460
assets from another country.

2300
01:20:02,110 --> 01:20:04,460
Do you know if the Treasury Department is

2301
01:20:04,460 --> 01:20:05,300
going to do so now?

2302
01:20:05,700 --> 01:20:07,380
This guy's real energetic.

2303
01:20:08,460 --> 01:20:10,360
Well, Margaret, it's good to be with you.

2304
01:20:10,580 --> 01:20:13,100
Yes, I certainly worked very hard with former

2305
01:20:13,100 --> 01:20:16,080
foreign affairs chairman Mike McCaul and others to

2306
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:19,300
put that in our 2020 military industrial complex

2307
01:20:19,300 --> 01:20:22,580
guy for national security package during the Biden

2308
01:20:22,580 --> 01:20:25,800
administration because we wanted another arrow in the

2309
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:28,420
quiver for the to not just seize those

2310
01:20:28,420 --> 01:20:30,560
assets, but to convert them to the benefit

2311
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:31,280
of Ukraine.

2312
01:20:31,620 --> 01:20:33,880
But we could never get consensus between the

2313
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,840
United States and Europe for doing that, despite

2314
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,780
a unanimous vote of the Council of the

2315
01:20:39,780 --> 01:20:42,840
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe supporting

2316
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:43,100
it.

2317
01:20:43,340 --> 01:20:45,520
So I continue to urge President Biden to

2318
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:45,860
do that.

2319
01:20:45,940 --> 01:20:48,780
We got the interest off those frozen assets

2320
01:20:48,780 --> 01:20:49,820
to benefit Ukraine.

2321
01:20:50,060 --> 01:20:51,980
But I think it's time for the president

2322
01:20:51,980 --> 01:20:55,480
to convert those seized assets to a trust

2323
01:20:55,480 --> 01:20:57,540
account for the benefit of Ukraine.

2324
01:20:58,020 --> 01:21:00,940
I'm glad to hear both Senators Blumenthal and

2325
01:21:00,940 --> 01:21:02,240
Graham support that idea.

2326
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:03,140
It's time to do it.

2327
01:21:03,380 --> 01:21:05,860
And I've encouraged Secretary Besant that this should

2328
01:21:05,860 --> 01:21:07,320
be a priority for President Trump.

2329
01:21:08,440 --> 01:21:10,080
This is not a good idea.

2330
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:12,920
No, this is illegal and not a good

2331
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:13,300
idea.

2332
01:21:13,440 --> 01:21:14,120
So it's illegal.

2333
01:21:14,440 --> 01:21:16,460
So let's go back in time and listen

2334
01:21:16,460 --> 01:21:19,120
to our conversation with Lindy Hop Lady G.

2335
01:21:19,540 --> 01:21:19,700
G.

2336
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,940
Graham, who is all in on this idea.

2337
01:21:23,140 --> 01:21:24,040
Russia's escalating.

2338
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:26,440
They're not ending this war in Ukraine.

2339
01:21:26,980 --> 01:21:28,940
NATO Secretary General is going to be here

2340
01:21:28,940 --> 01:21:31,800
in Washington this week and will be meeting

2341
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:35,040
with President Trump, who is, according to our

2342
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:39,040
reporting, considering fresh funding for Ukraine.

2343
01:21:39,300 --> 01:21:40,860
That would be the first time since he's

2344
01:21:40,860 --> 01:21:41,560
taken office.

2345
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:44,040
What do you know about what is coming?

2346
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:45,820
Yeah, he's a source.

2347
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:48,560
Well, I don't want to get ahead of

2348
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,160
the president, but I'm having dinner along with

2349
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:52,960
Senator Blumenthal and other senators.

2350
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:54,500
That should be a fun one.

2351
01:21:54,580 --> 01:21:55,960
Wouldn't you like to sit at that table

2352
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:59,100
with Blumenthal and Lady G.?

2353
01:21:59,920 --> 01:22:04,120
With Secretary General Mark Rutte tomorrow night.

2354
01:22:04,780 --> 01:22:09,280
A turning point regarding Russia invasion of Ukraine

2355
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:10,040
is coming.

2356
01:22:10,580 --> 01:22:12,900
For months, President Trump has tried to entice

2357
01:22:12,900 --> 01:22:14,180
Putin to the peace table.

2358
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:17,720
He's put tariffs against countries that allow fentanyl

2359
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:18,740
to come in our country.

2360
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:20,220
Other bad behavior.

2361
01:22:20,220 --> 01:22:23,080
He's left the door open regarding Russia.

2362
01:22:23,180 --> 01:22:24,660
That door is about to close.

2363
01:22:25,020 --> 01:22:27,820
Dick and I have got 85 co-sponsors

2364
01:22:27,820 --> 01:22:30,880
of the United States Senate for congressional sanctions

2365
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:34,480
with a sledgehammer available to President Trump to

2366
01:22:34,480 --> 01:22:37,440
go after Putin's economy and all those countries

2367
01:22:37,440 --> 01:22:39,440
who prop up the Putin war machine.

2368
01:22:39,940 --> 01:22:43,380
China, India, and Brazil buy oil and petroleum

2369
01:22:43,380 --> 01:22:45,680
products and other goods from Russia.

2370
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:48,800
That's the money Putin uses is to prosecute

2371
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:49,260
the war.

2372
01:22:49,260 --> 01:22:52,580
And this congressional package that we're looking at

2373
01:22:52,580 --> 01:22:55,440
would give President Trump the ability to impose

2374
01:22:55,440 --> 01:22:58,980
500% tariff on any country that helps

2375
01:22:58,980 --> 01:23:01,880
Russia and props up Putin's war machine.

2376
01:23:02,060 --> 01:23:03,600
He can dial it up or down.

2377
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,500
He can go to zero to 500.

2378
01:23:05,860 --> 01:23:07,480
He has maximum flexibility.

2379
01:23:08,180 --> 01:23:11,100
But we're going after the people who keep

2380
01:23:11,100 --> 01:23:14,040
Putin in business and additional sanctions on Russia

2381
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:14,780
itself.

2382
01:23:14,780 --> 01:23:18,500
This is truly a sledgehammer available to President

2383
01:23:18,500 --> 01:23:19,860
Trump to end this war.

2384
01:23:20,180 --> 01:23:21,340
Doesn't he have that already?

2385
01:23:21,540 --> 01:23:23,440
Why does he need some kind of congressional

2386
01:23:23,440 --> 01:23:26,540
approval about 500% tariffs?

2387
01:23:28,780 --> 01:23:30,120
That's a good question.

2388
01:23:30,500 --> 01:23:32,760
The whole thing looks like it looks like

2389
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:35,680
a lot of smoke and mirrors and showboating.

2390
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,900
Yeah, I think he goes more detail here.

2391
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:40,500
I want to ask you on the battlefield

2392
01:23:40,500 --> 01:23:43,060
and when it comes to weapons, CBS's Jim

2393
01:23:43,060 --> 01:23:47,000
Laporta has learned a recent defense intelligence assessment

2394
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:51,040
shows Ukraine's shortfall in artillery and in drones

2395
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,020
will lead to marked Russian territorial gains in

2396
01:23:54,020 --> 01:23:58,120
2026, with Russia gaining seven to one firepower

2397
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:00,680
superiority by this winter.

2398
01:24:01,820 --> 01:24:04,380
How can you get them what they need

2399
01:24:04,380 --> 01:24:06,340
if Congress will not approve in the House

2400
01:24:06,340 --> 01:24:07,340
any new funding?

2401
01:24:08,140 --> 01:24:10,780
Well, just stay tuned for tomorrow's announcement.

2402
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:17,700
The idea of America selling weapons to help

2403
01:24:17,700 --> 01:24:19,980
Ukraine is very much in play.

2404
01:24:20,140 --> 01:24:20,820
There we go.

2405
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:24,340
No sooner is the NATO money in than

2406
01:24:24,340 --> 01:24:25,420
we're selling it.

2407
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,720
Yeah, baby, you can buy it from us

2408
01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:29,200
to protect your country.

2409
01:24:29,620 --> 01:24:31,140
We've given Ukraine a lot.

2410
01:24:31,480 --> 01:24:32,460
We've given them money.

2411
01:24:32,540 --> 01:24:34,080
We give them military aid.

2412
01:24:34,540 --> 01:24:36,820
We now have a minerals agreement with Ukraine

2413
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,260
that's worth trillions of dollars.

2414
01:24:38,860 --> 01:24:40,180
So I don't want to get ahead of

2415
01:24:40,180 --> 01:24:40,680
the president.

2416
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,380
But stay tuned about these assets.

2417
01:24:45,860 --> 01:24:47,700
This would be very bad.

2418
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,280
But, you know, Lindy Hop is making it

2419
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:52,940
sound like it's a done deal, like we're

2420
01:24:52,940 --> 01:24:53,940
going to now seize.

2421
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:55,520
Oh, he always does that.

2422
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:57,720
This guy is a shallow.

2423
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:01,080
It's not necessarily a done deal.

2424
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:03,660
The thing about the minerals is now backfiring

2425
01:25:03,660 --> 01:25:06,980
because of the Wyoming poll.

2426
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,500
Yeah, which is now I don't have a

2427
01:25:09,500 --> 01:25:10,400
clip again.

2428
01:25:10,980 --> 01:25:13,520
But Wyoming, they, you know, they open up

2429
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:17,140
a big rare earths minerals mine in Wyoming,

2430
01:25:17,300 --> 01:25:19,200
which has got, I guess, as much as

2431
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:21,160
you need in the entire world, especially to

2432
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:24,680
some of these, you know, these superstar rare

2433
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:27,240
earths that are using high energy magnets.

2434
01:25:27,420 --> 01:25:28,420
It's very important.

2435
01:25:28,620 --> 01:25:28,720
Yeah.

2436
01:25:28,820 --> 01:25:30,680
What we need is we need some kids

2437
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:32,580
to go and mine that with their bare

2438
01:25:32,580 --> 01:25:33,020
hands.

2439
01:25:33,460 --> 01:25:36,040
Actually, the problem is besides that, it's the

2440
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:37,340
problem is the refining.

2441
01:25:37,620 --> 01:25:39,320
They talk about, oh, yeah, we can dig

2442
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:39,620
it out.

2443
01:25:39,700 --> 01:25:40,180
Then what?

2444
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:42,800
The Chinese do all the refining.

2445
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:46,480
I can't even imagine what that facility looks

2446
01:25:46,480 --> 01:25:46,880
like.

2447
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:51,860
One last clip from Europe because we're now

2448
01:25:51,860 --> 01:25:53,740
changing NATO into NIPTO.

2449
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:55,300
That should be the new name.

2450
01:25:56,580 --> 01:26:01,180
The North Indo-Pacific Treaty Organization.

2451
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:03,740
NIPTO, because it's not just about NATO.

2452
01:26:03,980 --> 01:26:04,780
It's about NIPTO.

2453
01:26:05,020 --> 01:26:07,220
Our working assumption is the following.

2454
01:26:07,220 --> 01:26:10,480
That indeed, as we see, China is rapidly

2455
01:26:10,480 --> 01:26:11,960
building up its armed forces.

2456
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:14,860
They have now more ships sailing than the

2457
01:26:14,860 --> 01:26:15,120
US.

2458
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,220
They will have another 100 ships sailing by

2459
01:26:18,220 --> 01:26:18,780
2030.

2460
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:20,500
They have now 1,000 nuclear warheads.

2461
01:26:20,740 --> 01:26:24,240
This is not to organize parades in Beijing.

2462
01:26:24,480 --> 01:26:26,100
Oh, this is a joke you make here

2463
01:26:26,100 --> 01:26:26,980
about the parades.

2464
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:28,740
This is to kill everybody in the world.

2465
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:31,820
This is indeed to use, to make use

2466
01:26:31,820 --> 01:26:32,100
of this.

2467
01:26:32,180 --> 01:26:34,000
We know the ambition China has, which is

2468
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,900
to somehow get control over Taiwan.

2469
01:26:37,220 --> 01:26:38,760
It's all about Taiwan.

2470
01:26:38,980 --> 01:26:41,160
They need 1,000 nuclear warheads to get

2471
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:42,260
control over Taiwan.

2472
01:26:42,700 --> 01:26:45,940
The assumption is, based on many discussions we've

2473
01:26:45,940 --> 01:26:49,140
had, and of course what we know from

2474
01:26:49,140 --> 01:26:52,260
our sources, that the risk is increasingly there.

2475
01:26:53,060 --> 01:26:55,480
That Xi Jinping, the president of China and

2476
01:26:55,480 --> 01:26:57,840
general secretary of the Communist Party, before he

2477
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,480
would attack Taiwan, will first make a call

2478
01:27:00,480 --> 01:27:01,780
into Moscow.

2479
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:03,980
His very junior partner in all of this.

2480
01:27:04,140 --> 01:27:05,140
His junior partner.

2481
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:08,260
He first makes a call to Moscow to

2482
01:27:08,260 --> 01:27:09,340
his very junior partner.

2483
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,860
One Vladimir, Vladimir Putin, to ask him to

2484
01:27:12,860 --> 01:27:14,560
keep us busy in this part of Europe.

2485
01:27:14,820 --> 01:27:15,980
Oh, it is a distraction.

2486
01:27:16,220 --> 01:27:17,820
So you keep us busy here in this

2487
01:27:17,820 --> 01:27:19,660
part of Europe, and then you take Taiwan.

2488
01:27:19,780 --> 01:27:20,680
I know what it's looking.

2489
01:27:20,740 --> 01:27:22,640
Look over here, there's nothing to see here.

2490
01:27:22,700 --> 01:27:25,920
This shows you that the transatlantic and the

2491
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,740
Indo-Pacific are getting more and more intertwined,

2492
01:27:28,860 --> 01:27:32,020
already through North Korea participating in the war

2493
01:27:32,020 --> 01:27:34,300
of aggression against Japan on the Russian side,

2494
01:27:34,300 --> 01:27:38,300
including China, with thanks and circumvention, and with

2495
01:27:38,300 --> 01:27:41,620
dual-use goods delivered into Russia, supporting Russia's

2496
01:27:41,620 --> 01:27:42,200
war effort.

2497
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:44,080
Here's some refrigerators.

2498
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,640
You can use those motors for war.

2499
01:27:46,940 --> 01:27:50,080
In Ukraine, and of course Iran, with its

2500
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:51,140
drone technology.

2501
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:56,300
I thought Iran's drone technology, I thought they

2502
01:27:56,300 --> 01:27:58,300
only had like moped engines.

2503
01:27:59,140 --> 01:28:00,040
They have better stuff?

2504
01:28:00,480 --> 01:28:02,160
No, we had a whole bunch of clips

2505
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:03,540
replayed about a month ago.

2506
01:28:03,540 --> 01:28:04,440
Oh, you're right.

2507
01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:06,120
Yeah, they do have some drone technology.

2508
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,500
In Ukraine, and of course Iran, with its

2509
01:28:09,500 --> 01:28:10,580
drone technology.

2510
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:12,720
So this is all getting more and more

2511
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,620
interconnected, and therefore, and it has been some

2512
01:28:15,620 --> 01:28:19,000
of your own German, very senior generals predicting

2513
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,000
that three, five, seven years from now, three

2514
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,420
years is today, five years is next week,

2515
01:28:24,740 --> 01:28:25,880
seven years is next month.

2516
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:26,460
Wait a minute.

2517
01:28:26,820 --> 01:28:29,300
Three years is today, five years is next

2518
01:28:29,300 --> 01:28:31,060
week, seven years is next month.

2519
01:28:31,180 --> 01:28:32,020
Don't you get it?

2520
01:28:32,660 --> 01:28:34,960
Russia might be able to mount a full

2521
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:36,340
-scale attack on NATO territory.

2522
01:28:36,820 --> 01:28:39,180
And this is why, exactly as the chancellor

2523
01:28:39,180 --> 01:28:41,040
was saying, we are not doing the 5

2524
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,260
% and the 3.5% core spending

2525
01:28:43,260 --> 01:28:44,460
to make one person happy.

2526
01:28:44,780 --> 01:28:44,880
No.

2527
01:28:45,060 --> 01:28:46,860
Great that we equalize with the US.

2528
01:28:47,580 --> 01:28:49,820
One person happy, not just for Donald Trump.

2529
01:28:49,980 --> 01:28:51,640
It closes the debate we had for years.

2530
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:54,280
But we do this because we know the

2531
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:55,280
threat is there.

2532
01:28:55,380 --> 01:28:55,760
It's real.

2533
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:57,780
A threat against the US, a threat against

2534
01:28:57,780 --> 01:29:00,320
Canada, a threat against the European allies.

2535
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:00,960
Everybody, everybody.

2536
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:02,340
We need to spend more on defense.

2537
01:29:02,620 --> 01:29:04,460
If anyone wants a world war, it's this

2538
01:29:04,460 --> 01:29:04,820
guy.

2539
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:06,940
He's the one.

2540
01:29:08,660 --> 01:29:10,740
I don't know that he wants anything.

2541
01:29:11,020 --> 01:29:14,840
Well, he wants to make Donald happy.

2542
01:29:16,020 --> 01:29:17,240
Yes, that's for sure.

2543
01:29:17,480 --> 01:29:19,420
I want to make Donald very, very happy.

2544
01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:22,220
That's military-industrial complex.

2545
01:29:22,440 --> 01:29:25,040
Oh, be very afraid because if we don't

2546
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:27,840
have enough, then we're going to be suffering.

2547
01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:29,740
And then while we're suffering, then boom, they

2548
01:29:29,740 --> 01:29:30,520
take Taiwan.

2549
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:31,900
And then we're all going to be in

2550
01:29:31,900 --> 01:29:32,520
a world war.

2551
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:35,580
Well, here's a question.

2552
01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:38,920
This is another thing that never comes up

2553
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:39,720
in the conversation.

2554
01:29:40,820 --> 01:29:43,100
Now, that guy that does uncommon knowledge had

2555
01:29:43,100 --> 01:29:45,320
a long discussion with a Dutchman who lived

2556
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:46,740
and spent most of his time in China.

2557
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:48,160
I think his name is Dichter.

2558
01:29:48,220 --> 01:29:48,980
I have to get his name.

2559
01:29:50,660 --> 01:29:52,060
Very expert on China.

2560
01:29:52,860 --> 01:29:56,280
And he thinks most of the China information

2561
01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:57,060
is BS.

2562
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,660
He thinks they're not as well-off as

2563
01:29:59,660 --> 01:30:00,440
they say they are.

2564
01:30:00,440 --> 01:30:01,920
There's not as many people as they say

2565
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:02,180
they are.

2566
01:30:02,260 --> 01:30:03,880
And he has all this documentation for it.

2567
01:30:04,020 --> 01:30:05,700
But one of the things he does point

2568
01:30:05,700 --> 01:30:09,460
out is that the Chinese real prosperity began

2569
01:30:09,460 --> 01:30:12,480
when they joined the WTO.

2570
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:15,640
And so I'll go along with that.

2571
01:30:15,860 --> 01:30:19,180
And so if the Chinese take Taiwan, why

2572
01:30:19,180 --> 01:30:20,540
can't we just kick them out of the

2573
01:30:20,540 --> 01:30:21,180
WTO?

2574
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:22,400
And that's the end of it.

2575
01:30:22,500 --> 01:30:26,500
Because China relies on the WTO, the World

2576
01:30:26,500 --> 01:30:30,640
Trade Organization, so it can work internationally and

2577
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:32,840
totally kick ass and take over a lot

2578
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:34,220
of markets and do what it does.

2579
01:30:34,540 --> 01:30:36,160
And you kick them out of the WTO.

2580
01:30:36,480 --> 01:30:36,800
Exactly.

2581
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:39,600
So China, you take Taiwan, you're out.

2582
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:41,940
We're their customer.

2583
01:30:42,100 --> 01:30:44,520
They're not going to do anything without us.

2584
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:46,420
This whole Taiwan thing is a red herring.

2585
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:50,080
Yes, it's a red herring for the military

2586
01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:51,260
-industrial complex.

2587
01:30:52,180 --> 01:30:54,440
And you know the Jews are behind it,

2588
01:30:54,460 --> 01:30:55,380
just so you know.

2589
01:30:55,380 --> 01:30:57,260
Oh yeah, those Jews.

2590
01:30:57,680 --> 01:30:59,480
They want war in China.

2591
01:31:00,440 --> 01:31:02,880
Yeah, because they got nothing better to do.

2592
01:31:07,710 --> 01:31:07,950
Oops.

2593
01:31:08,390 --> 01:31:11,330
Well, no, I was a pregnant pause.

2594
01:31:11,670 --> 01:31:15,190
I was waiting for you to follow up.

2595
01:31:15,450 --> 01:31:17,590
I'm like, maybe do some China stuff.

2596
01:31:17,670 --> 01:31:18,850
You seem to have China clips.

2597
01:31:18,990 --> 01:31:19,330
I don't know.

2598
01:31:19,550 --> 01:31:20,670
Do I have China clips?

2599
01:31:20,730 --> 01:31:22,330
You got Falun Gong clips.

2600
01:31:23,550 --> 01:31:24,510
Oh, yeah.

2601
01:31:25,070 --> 01:31:25,970
Let's listen to this.

2602
01:31:25,970 --> 01:31:29,630
Well, if it's no good, then why should

2603
01:31:29,630 --> 01:31:30,330
we listen to it?

2604
01:31:30,350 --> 01:31:32,290
It brings a point that I brought up

2605
01:31:32,290 --> 01:31:34,990
earlier in the show, and you kind of

2606
01:31:34,990 --> 01:31:35,550
brought it up.

2607
01:31:36,170 --> 01:31:39,030
This has become an issue with me, which

2608
01:31:39,030 --> 01:31:40,470
is why?

2609
01:31:40,830 --> 01:31:42,310
Why is this going on?

2610
01:31:42,510 --> 01:31:44,110
It's never, ever.

2611
01:31:44,490 --> 01:31:46,750
What is the thing with Falun Gong?

2612
01:31:48,170 --> 01:31:49,030
What is it?

2613
01:31:49,270 --> 01:31:51,430
Why do the Chinese hate it so much?

2614
01:31:51,530 --> 01:31:53,950
That they're tracking people down, and they're grabbing

2615
01:31:53,950 --> 01:31:55,730
you if you're Falun Gong, and they're throwing

2616
01:31:55,730 --> 01:31:57,630
you in a gulag, and then they're taking

2617
01:31:57,630 --> 01:31:58,190
your liver.

2618
01:31:58,610 --> 01:31:59,690
I mean, why?

2619
01:32:00,410 --> 01:32:01,210
It's kidneys.

2620
01:32:01,390 --> 01:32:02,150
I don't think it's liver.

2621
01:32:02,290 --> 01:32:02,590
It's kidneys.

2622
01:32:02,750 --> 01:32:03,350
Okay, kidneys.

2623
01:32:03,470 --> 01:32:04,310
They're taking the kidneys.

2624
01:32:05,010 --> 01:32:06,050
Let's listen to the show.

2625
01:32:06,390 --> 01:32:09,170
So NTD brings on a Falun.

2626
01:32:09,230 --> 01:32:11,210
This is supposed to be a report on

2627
01:32:11,210 --> 01:32:14,350
the CCP, and it's kind of sneaking around

2628
01:32:14,350 --> 01:32:16,510
and doing stuff in the United States.

2629
01:32:16,790 --> 01:32:16,970
Nasty.

2630
01:32:17,390 --> 01:32:19,950
And disrupting our academic system.

2631
01:32:19,950 --> 01:32:20,510
Wait a minute.

2632
01:32:20,970 --> 01:32:23,130
Isn't Falun Gong, weren't they a religious outfit?

2633
01:32:23,130 --> 01:32:24,730
And they got roused?

2634
01:32:25,470 --> 01:32:27,430
About 10 years ago, we did a whole

2635
01:32:27,430 --> 01:32:29,410
thing, exposition on the Falun.

2636
01:32:29,730 --> 01:32:31,490
It was a whole group of these meditation

2637
01:32:31,490 --> 01:32:34,530
techniques that showed up in China for some

2638
01:32:34,530 --> 01:32:35,450
reason out of the blue.

2639
01:32:35,610 --> 01:32:36,630
And there was a bunch of them.

2640
01:32:36,890 --> 01:32:39,610
And Falun Gong, the one of them, which

2641
01:32:39,610 --> 01:32:41,450
has also been renamed something else, and I

2642
01:32:41,450 --> 01:32:42,550
keep forgetting the new name.

2643
01:32:44,450 --> 01:32:46,070
And they always say, when they say it,

2644
01:32:46,130 --> 01:32:47,650
they always say, it's a spiritual ballad.

2645
01:32:47,690 --> 01:32:49,630
They always have some little ditty, some little

2646
01:32:49,630 --> 01:32:50,330
subtext.

2647
01:32:50,410 --> 01:32:51,470
They always have to say with it.

2648
01:32:51,470 --> 01:32:54,530
It's almost like when you say Muhammad, if

2649
01:32:54,530 --> 01:32:56,410
you're Muslim, you always have to say, peace

2650
01:32:56,410 --> 01:32:57,690
be upon him.

2651
01:32:58,030 --> 01:32:58,350
Falun Dafa.

2652
01:32:58,710 --> 01:32:59,870
And then if you write it out, it's

2653
01:32:59,870 --> 01:33:01,770
Muhammad, then you P-B-U-H.

2654
01:33:01,810 --> 01:33:03,050
You see that a lot in text.

2655
01:33:03,690 --> 01:33:06,550
So it's like something you have to do.

2656
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,310
And so they always say something about Falun.

2657
01:33:09,310 --> 01:33:11,030
When they mention Falun Gong, they always say,

2658
01:33:11,130 --> 01:33:12,930
well, it's a spiritual blah, blah, blah.

2659
01:33:13,150 --> 01:33:15,850
But is it Falun Dafa?

2660
01:33:16,050 --> 01:33:16,890
Is that the new name?

2661
01:33:17,490 --> 01:33:17,890
Maybe.

2662
01:33:18,230 --> 01:33:18,970
It's something like that.

2663
01:33:18,990 --> 01:33:19,430
It could be.

2664
01:33:19,430 --> 01:33:21,950
But whatever the case, it's like, what is

2665
01:33:21,950 --> 01:33:23,110
the real reason?

2666
01:33:23,270 --> 01:33:25,550
There's something that we are not being told.

2667
01:33:25,690 --> 01:33:27,630
And you'd listen to this report and it

2668
01:33:27,630 --> 01:33:28,390
still doesn't get.

2669
01:33:28,670 --> 01:33:30,390
We just don't find out.

2670
01:33:30,530 --> 01:33:30,930
Let's listen.

2671
01:33:31,230 --> 01:33:33,030
Subverting America from within.

2672
01:33:33,330 --> 01:33:36,250
For decades, the Chinese Communist Party has systematically

2673
01:33:36,910 --> 01:33:40,670
infiltrated our political systems, businesses and institutions.

2674
01:33:41,050 --> 01:33:43,150
Now it's carrying out a test run for

2675
01:33:43,150 --> 01:33:46,430
how Beijing can influence or even dictate what

2676
01:33:46,430 --> 01:33:48,210
we can do and what we believe.

2677
01:33:48,210 --> 01:33:50,770
Joining us now to discuss his upcoming special

2678
01:33:50,770 --> 01:33:53,750
report is Steve Lance, NTD's Washington, D.C.

2679
01:33:53,810 --> 01:33:56,670
Bureau chief, host of NTD's Capital Report and

2680
01:33:56,670 --> 01:33:58,550
chief political correspondent, Steve Lance.

2681
01:33:58,610 --> 01:33:59,090
Great to see you.

2682
01:33:59,130 --> 01:33:59,850
Thanks for joining us.

2683
01:33:59,930 --> 01:34:01,630
Now you have a special report coming out

2684
01:34:01,630 --> 01:34:04,850
about the Chinese Communist Party's covert war within

2685
01:34:04,850 --> 01:34:07,450
the U.S. There's so much to unpack

2686
01:34:07,450 --> 01:34:07,730
here.

2687
01:34:07,830 --> 01:34:09,110
What's the bottom line?

2688
01:34:09,550 --> 01:34:10,990
Well, thanks for having me back with you,

2689
01:34:11,110 --> 01:34:11,330
Tiff.

2690
01:34:11,570 --> 01:34:14,270
The bottom line is it is a very

2691
01:34:14,270 --> 01:34:19,310
complex, covert operation that is stemming from Beijing

2692
01:34:19,310 --> 01:34:23,110
against a particular persecuted group inside of China

2693
01:34:23,110 --> 01:34:25,610
who is also based here in the United

2694
01:34:25,610 --> 01:34:26,190
States.

2695
01:34:27,010 --> 01:34:29,770
And it is the Falun Gong spiritual movement.

2696
01:34:30,250 --> 01:34:31,750
And to understand what they're doing, you also

2697
01:34:31,750 --> 01:34:34,590
have to understand what Falun Gong is.

2698
01:34:34,750 --> 01:34:37,670
Now, Falun Gong is a spiritual practice that

2699
01:34:37,670 --> 01:34:41,170
was widely embraced inside of China during the

2700
01:34:41,170 --> 01:34:42,210
1990s.

2701
01:34:42,270 --> 01:34:44,790
It grew in rapid numbers.

2702
01:34:45,230 --> 01:34:49,190
The CCP's own internal estimate was that roughly

2703
01:34:49,190 --> 01:34:52,570
70 to 100 million people were practicing this.

2704
01:34:53,110 --> 01:34:56,890
And because of its rapid population and rapid

2705
01:34:56,890 --> 01:35:01,790
spread, the CCP then in 1999 launched a

2706
01:35:01,790 --> 01:35:05,350
widespread nationwide persecution.

2707
01:35:06,150 --> 01:35:08,570
And what they did was they rounded people

2708
01:35:08,570 --> 01:35:08,790
up.

2709
01:35:08,870 --> 01:35:10,550
They put them in forced labor camps.

2710
01:35:10,850 --> 01:35:12,210
They tortured them.

2711
01:35:12,270 --> 01:35:13,310
They murdered them.

2712
01:35:13,310 --> 01:35:14,650
They killed them.

2713
01:35:14,870 --> 01:35:18,550
And eventually this even evolved into organ harvesting.

2714
01:35:18,770 --> 01:35:19,810
You may have heard about that.

2715
01:35:20,010 --> 01:35:23,930
But along with this came a vast amount

2716
01:35:23,930 --> 01:35:26,550
of propaganda, how they labeled it as an

2717
01:35:26,550 --> 01:35:27,070
evil cult.

2718
01:35:27,190 --> 01:35:28,890
They say that practitioners kill themselves.

2719
01:35:29,710 --> 01:35:33,010
One of the directives was to really defame

2720
01:35:33,010 --> 01:35:34,830
this group inside of China so that they

2721
01:35:34,830 --> 01:35:35,830
would lose credibility.

2722
01:35:36,470 --> 01:35:37,090
Shen Yun?

2723
01:35:38,730 --> 01:35:40,630
Oh, that's the dance troupe.

2724
01:35:40,630 --> 01:35:43,370
The Shen Yun dancers, yes.

2725
01:35:43,610 --> 01:35:46,050
I think they're on tour with Beyonce now,

2726
01:35:46,110 --> 01:35:46,470
I believe.

2727
01:35:46,930 --> 01:35:47,910
They're all over the place.

2728
01:35:48,070 --> 01:35:49,130
They're apparently very good.

2729
01:35:49,670 --> 01:35:52,390
But the point is that it starts off,

2730
01:35:52,570 --> 01:35:55,710
she says, Chinese influence in the United States.

2731
01:35:55,770 --> 01:35:56,930
And I'm thinking, well, now they're going to

2732
01:35:56,930 --> 01:35:59,190
get into all kinds of interesting stuff.

2733
01:35:59,270 --> 01:36:01,890
And it switches immediately to Falun Gong.

2734
01:36:02,650 --> 01:36:04,170
It doesn't even, they're not going to talk

2735
01:36:04,170 --> 01:36:05,210
about anything else now.

2736
01:36:05,530 --> 01:36:06,750
Well, then why should we listen?

2737
01:36:06,850 --> 01:36:07,630
Is it worth listening to?

2738
01:36:07,630 --> 01:36:09,770
Well, no, it's because it's the way they

2739
01:36:09,770 --> 01:36:12,830
keep beating around the bush about why?

2740
01:36:13,570 --> 01:36:14,430
Explain to me.

2741
01:36:14,470 --> 01:36:15,990
And I want somebody out there that can

2742
01:36:15,990 --> 01:36:16,690
explain it to me.

2743
01:36:17,070 --> 01:36:21,390
What specifically do the Chinese, the CCP in

2744
01:36:21,390 --> 01:36:22,750
particular, have against Falun Gong?

2745
01:36:22,910 --> 01:36:24,090
Is it the same thing they have against

2746
01:36:24,090 --> 01:36:27,750
Christians or Buddhists or Confucianism or whatever?

2747
01:36:28,190 --> 01:36:30,730
Is it just because it's anything outside the,

2748
01:36:31,030 --> 01:36:34,690
just a little bit veering from the straight

2749
01:36:34,690 --> 01:36:35,330
communism?

2750
01:36:35,330 --> 01:36:38,770
I mean, it's just, it makes no sense

2751
01:36:38,770 --> 01:36:40,850
to me that they're this adamant that they're

2752
01:36:40,850 --> 01:36:44,050
sending tons of Chinese spooks to the United

2753
01:36:44,050 --> 01:36:46,450
States only to track down the Falun Gong.

2754
01:36:47,030 --> 01:36:48,330
What you have now.

2755
01:36:49,130 --> 01:36:50,370
Go play, play.

2756
01:36:50,610 --> 01:36:54,110
What you have now is the Falun Gong

2757
01:36:54,110 --> 01:36:57,930
diaspora around the world, particularly in the United

2758
01:36:57,930 --> 01:37:01,570
States, has set up different organizations, media organizations,

2759
01:37:02,110 --> 01:37:04,210
a performing arts group called Shen Yun Performing

2760
01:37:04,210 --> 01:37:07,170
Arts to get the word out about this

2761
01:37:07,170 --> 01:37:10,390
persecution because it was very, in large part,

2762
01:37:10,730 --> 01:37:12,250
widely underreported.

2763
01:37:13,010 --> 01:37:14,970
And so now as the world's people are

2764
01:37:14,970 --> 01:37:18,450
starting to understand what Falun Gong is and

2765
01:37:18,450 --> 01:37:21,190
that the Chinese Communist Party is persecuting this

2766
01:37:21,190 --> 01:37:25,990
peaceful group overseas, this is starting to get

2767
01:37:25,990 --> 01:37:26,370
out.

2768
01:37:26,490 --> 01:37:29,370
And so the Chinese Communist Party is really

2769
01:37:29,370 --> 01:37:33,510
set on silencing this group of Falun Dafa

2770
01:37:33,510 --> 01:37:36,930
practitioners, Falun Gong practitioners in the United States

2771
01:37:36,930 --> 01:37:40,670
who are operating these media groups like the

2772
01:37:40,670 --> 01:37:44,090
Epoch Times and also the founders of NTD

2773
01:37:44,090 --> 01:37:46,670
television, as well as Shen Yun, because they've

2774
01:37:46,670 --> 01:37:49,750
been so effective at getting the truth out

2775
01:37:49,750 --> 01:37:53,890
about the Chinese Communist Party's crimes against humanity,

2776
01:37:53,890 --> 01:37:55,490
really against this group of people.

2777
01:37:56,110 --> 01:37:57,870
I guess that's the reason they just don't

2778
01:37:57,870 --> 01:38:00,690
like the media exposure they have, I guess.

2779
01:38:00,690 --> 01:38:04,210
Oh, the giant media exposure of NTD.

2780
01:38:04,510 --> 01:38:04,930
Excuse me.

2781
01:38:05,190 --> 01:38:07,850
NTD has been featured on this podcast for

2782
01:38:07,850 --> 01:38:09,910
over a decade as if it's the real

2783
01:38:09,910 --> 01:38:10,310
deal.

2784
01:38:10,370 --> 01:38:11,070
Yes, I'm the only one.

2785
01:38:12,650 --> 01:38:14,350
The Chinese should send up some cash.

2786
01:38:14,410 --> 01:38:15,350
I'll stop doing it.

2787
01:38:16,270 --> 01:38:17,210
Epoch Times.

2788
01:38:17,410 --> 01:38:18,930
Oh, everyone subscribes to that.

2789
01:38:19,150 --> 01:38:20,910
You should probably look out your window.

2790
01:38:21,290 --> 01:38:22,670
I mean, before you know it, there's going

2791
01:38:22,670 --> 01:38:24,770
to be a van driving by.

2792
01:38:25,390 --> 01:38:26,450
Nobody's driving by.

2793
01:38:26,810 --> 01:38:29,750
The point is that this is bull crap.

2794
01:38:31,110 --> 01:38:33,270
I just do not understand it.

2795
01:38:33,830 --> 01:38:35,450
And I try and try, and I listen

2796
01:38:35,450 --> 01:38:37,030
to this stuff, and they never get to

2797
01:38:37,030 --> 01:38:37,650
the bottom of it.

2798
01:38:37,950 --> 01:38:40,270
They always go on about Falun Gong, and

2799
01:38:40,270 --> 01:38:42,450
it's great because, you know, they have a

2800
01:38:42,450 --> 01:38:43,950
dance troupe, and oh, my God.

2801
01:38:44,030 --> 01:38:44,770
And they're peaceful.

2802
01:38:44,910 --> 01:38:45,710
Peaceful protesters.

2803
01:38:45,710 --> 01:38:48,730
And they're peaceful, and they're spiritual somehow, and

2804
01:38:48,730 --> 01:38:49,630
we don't know why.

2805
01:38:49,890 --> 01:38:50,670
Yes, very spiritual.

2806
01:38:51,510 --> 01:38:52,790
And by the way, there used to be

2807
01:38:52,790 --> 01:38:53,390
a group of them.

2808
01:38:53,530 --> 01:38:56,070
We have a consulate here in San Francisco,

2809
01:38:56,650 --> 01:38:59,850
which is kind of an interesting place, because

2810
01:38:59,850 --> 01:39:01,370
I went to it when I first went

2811
01:39:01,370 --> 01:39:03,230
to China back in the 90s.

2812
01:39:03,530 --> 01:39:03,970
And then I went.

2813
01:39:04,910 --> 01:39:06,570
It used to be just a hole in

2814
01:39:06,570 --> 01:39:08,710
the wall in terms of the office to

2815
01:39:08,710 --> 01:39:10,910
get a visa because nobody was in there.

2816
01:39:10,990 --> 01:39:13,410
And now it's like, take a number.

2817
01:39:14,330 --> 01:39:15,870
And there used to be a group of

2818
01:39:15,870 --> 01:39:20,550
Falun Gongists out front, and they just stand

2819
01:39:20,550 --> 01:39:23,050
there for hours on end, staring at the

2820
01:39:23,050 --> 01:39:26,150
building, trying to levitate it, I think.

2821
01:39:26,150 --> 01:39:28,730
Well, we have a lot of producers out

2822
01:39:28,730 --> 01:39:28,890
there.

2823
01:39:28,970 --> 01:39:30,630
Maybe they can help us out and understand

2824
01:39:30,630 --> 01:39:31,510
this mystery.

2825
01:39:32,190 --> 01:39:33,290
So do you think they're going to get

2826
01:39:33,290 --> 01:39:33,830
to the bottom of it?

2827
01:39:33,890 --> 01:39:35,930
Now, I'm on clip three, so let's play

2828
01:39:35,930 --> 01:39:36,250
that.

2829
01:39:36,430 --> 01:39:38,070
And these aren't that long, so it's not

2830
01:39:38,070 --> 01:39:38,470
too bad.

2831
01:39:38,970 --> 01:39:41,190
Why is this such a concern for the

2832
01:39:41,190 --> 01:39:41,710
Chinese regime?

2833
01:39:41,830 --> 01:39:44,190
Why have they invested so many resources to

2834
01:39:44,190 --> 01:39:46,170
silence this group outside of China?

2835
01:39:46,490 --> 01:39:48,010
Well, when you really go back to sometimes

2836
01:39:48,010 --> 01:39:51,150
we just buzz by certain points here, but

2837
01:39:51,150 --> 01:39:55,210
when you really unpack forced live organ harvesting,

2838
01:39:55,390 --> 01:39:57,510
and when you really think about the gravity

2839
01:39:57,510 --> 01:39:59,850
of this crime, this isn't just like a

2840
01:39:59,850 --> 01:40:03,410
few rogue individuals in the government or, you

2841
01:40:03,410 --> 01:40:05,550
know, a few bad apples on the black

2842
01:40:05,550 --> 01:40:05,970
market.

2843
01:40:06,210 --> 01:40:07,930
This is state run.

2844
01:40:08,250 --> 01:40:11,790
This is happening at scale, at the highest

2845
01:40:11,790 --> 01:40:13,670
levels of the Chinese Communist Party.

2846
01:40:14,070 --> 01:40:16,950
Military hospitals are directing this.

2847
01:40:17,210 --> 01:40:19,890
And when you really understand what is taking

2848
01:40:19,890 --> 01:40:24,590
place, you're up these peaceful, spiritual, religious believers

2849
01:40:24,590 --> 01:40:28,130
that believe in truthfulness, compassion and forbearance.

2850
01:40:28,210 --> 01:40:30,090
Those are the three core tenants of Falun

2851
01:40:30,090 --> 01:40:30,290
Gong.

2852
01:40:30,650 --> 01:40:33,310
You know, there may be just more behind

2853
01:40:33,310 --> 01:40:36,250
Falun Gong on our side, just to make

2854
01:40:36,250 --> 01:40:38,230
the Chinese look bad, to keep it, you

2855
01:40:38,230 --> 01:40:41,210
know, to keep this story alive, that at

2856
01:40:41,210 --> 01:40:44,070
the state level, they're harvesting organs, you know,

2857
01:40:44,510 --> 01:40:46,430
Xi Jinping just got a new heart.

2858
01:40:48,590 --> 01:40:49,690
Something like that.

2859
01:40:50,150 --> 01:40:51,330
What else could it be?

2860
01:40:51,450 --> 01:40:52,250
They're being kidnapped.

2861
01:40:53,110 --> 01:40:55,630
They're being taken to these military hospitals.

2862
01:40:56,310 --> 01:41:00,510
Their organs are then extracted and sold for

2863
01:41:00,510 --> 01:41:03,030
thousands of dollars around the world.

2864
01:41:03,130 --> 01:41:04,970
People come in, they call it transplant tourism

2865
01:41:04,970 --> 01:41:06,450
inside of China.

2866
01:41:06,890 --> 01:41:08,470
The bodies are then cremated.

2867
01:41:08,950 --> 01:41:11,610
They destroy the evidence, essentially, so there's no

2868
01:41:11,610 --> 01:41:12,210
trace of it.

2869
01:41:12,550 --> 01:41:13,970
And then when the family comes, they say,

2870
01:41:14,050 --> 01:41:15,110
oh, we didn't have space.

2871
01:41:16,070 --> 01:41:17,210
You know, we didn't have space.

2872
01:41:17,290 --> 01:41:18,070
Here's the ashes.

2873
01:41:18,070 --> 01:41:20,310
They cremate the body or they tell them

2874
01:41:20,310 --> 01:41:21,470
that they committed suicide.

2875
01:41:21,850 --> 01:41:23,850
The list really goes on.

2876
01:41:23,890 --> 01:41:26,110
But this is happening at scale.

2877
01:41:26,230 --> 01:41:28,810
So if the world's people really find out

2878
01:41:28,810 --> 01:41:31,670
about this crime and hold the Chinese Communist

2879
01:41:31,670 --> 01:41:35,170
Party accountable, the CCP is really only sustained

2880
01:41:35,170 --> 01:41:40,450
and legitimized because people don't understand these human

2881
01:41:40,450 --> 01:41:41,250
rights abuses.

2882
01:41:41,530 --> 01:41:44,410
And so the Falun Gong community overseas has

2883
01:41:44,410 --> 01:41:47,450
been really the most effective at bringing these

2884
01:41:47,450 --> 01:41:48,650
atrocities to light.

2885
01:41:49,050 --> 01:41:51,010
It seems like we have an answer.

2886
01:41:51,270 --> 01:41:53,210
Is this bad PR?

2887
01:41:54,670 --> 01:41:56,510
Falun Gong is bad PR.

2888
01:41:56,670 --> 01:41:58,610
They're talking about our organ harvesting.

2889
01:41:59,070 --> 01:42:03,470
I mean, that's an offense.

2890
01:42:06,690 --> 01:42:11,050
It just seems like they're sending agents over

2891
01:42:11,050 --> 01:42:13,130
all over the world to track down the

2892
01:42:13,130 --> 01:42:14,330
Chinese dissidents.

2893
01:42:14,330 --> 01:42:17,550
But that's what I thought was just Chinese

2894
01:42:17,550 --> 01:42:18,750
dissidents that they're after.

2895
01:42:18,890 --> 01:42:19,470
But no, no, no.

2896
01:42:19,710 --> 01:42:21,750
It's Falun Gong specifically.

2897
01:42:23,770 --> 01:42:25,790
And there's something amiss with this story.

2898
01:42:25,890 --> 01:42:27,090
I think this is the last clip of

2899
01:42:27,090 --> 01:42:27,230
it.

2900
01:42:27,610 --> 01:42:28,790
Thank God.

2901
01:42:29,030 --> 01:42:31,030
And Steve, one of the most concerning aspects

2902
01:42:31,030 --> 01:42:33,610
of the Chinese regime's campaign is the CCP's

2903
01:42:33,610 --> 01:42:35,810
focus on actually U.S. federal agencies.

2904
01:42:36,310 --> 01:42:38,210
What is the strategy and what are the

2905
01:42:38,210 --> 01:42:39,870
larger implications here?

2906
01:42:40,090 --> 01:42:40,770
Yeah, exactly.

2907
01:42:40,870 --> 01:42:42,230
So that's where it gets a little bit

2908
01:42:42,230 --> 01:42:42,690
complicated.

2909
01:42:42,690 --> 01:42:44,390
There was a directive that came out of

2910
01:42:44,390 --> 01:42:47,250
Beijing from the highest levels, Xi Jinping, that

2911
01:42:47,250 --> 01:42:52,550
was targeting U.S. media institutions, and they

2912
01:42:52,550 --> 01:42:56,550
basically planted a few different stories or tried

2913
01:42:56,550 --> 01:43:00,450
to through their various agents and operations to

2914
01:43:00,450 --> 01:43:03,390
really go after the Shen Yun performing arts.

2915
01:43:03,570 --> 01:43:05,010
And some of the things that they've done

2916
01:43:05,010 --> 01:43:09,550
is they've mobilized these people to influence former

2917
01:43:09,550 --> 01:43:12,390
dancers who may have been cut loose from

2918
01:43:12,390 --> 01:43:12,890
Shen Yun.

2919
01:43:13,130 --> 01:43:17,290
It's a very top tier performing arts company

2920
01:43:17,290 --> 01:43:18,650
where not everybody makes the cut.

2921
01:43:18,970 --> 01:43:20,730
So people get cut and eventually they may

2922
01:43:20,730 --> 01:43:23,450
have ties in China and they start to

2923
01:43:23,450 --> 01:43:24,190
get influenced.

2924
01:43:24,570 --> 01:43:27,390
And there's a nexus between some of these

2925
01:43:27,390 --> 01:43:30,530
former dancers who have left Shen Yun and

2926
01:43:30,530 --> 01:43:35,090
Beijing, and they have since filed different lawsuits.

2927
01:43:35,330 --> 01:43:37,310
Anybody can file a lawsuit in the United

2928
01:43:37,310 --> 01:43:37,610
States.

2929
01:43:37,690 --> 01:43:39,050
You don't even have to be a citizen.

2930
01:43:39,050 --> 01:43:41,830
And so we're seeing civil lawsuits being filed

2931
01:43:41,830 --> 01:43:45,950
against this group from people who are closely

2932
01:43:45,950 --> 01:43:47,910
tied to Beijing.

2933
01:43:48,390 --> 01:43:51,470
And then what you have is once these

2934
01:43:51,470 --> 01:43:56,290
lawsuits are filed, some Western media, specifically the

2935
01:43:56,290 --> 01:43:59,890
New York Times, is writing about these lawsuits.

2936
01:44:00,110 --> 01:44:02,670
Now, nothing has been adjudicated.

2937
01:44:03,090 --> 01:44:06,350
Everything is still in process.

2938
01:44:06,350 --> 01:44:09,970
And the evidence hasn't come out, but the

2939
01:44:09,970 --> 01:44:11,430
damage has already been done, Tiff.

2940
01:44:11,670 --> 01:44:11,870
Okay.

2941
01:44:12,030 --> 01:44:14,650
So these lawsuits are filed, and then the

2942
01:44:14,650 --> 01:44:17,190
New York Times will publish an article as

2943
01:44:17,190 --> 01:44:18,790
if it's law.

2944
01:44:18,950 --> 01:44:21,490
And they use very creative and crafty ways

2945
01:44:21,490 --> 01:44:24,170
to sort of misguide the reader.

2946
01:44:24,650 --> 01:44:26,370
To me, it just seems like they just

2947
01:44:26,370 --> 01:44:27,950
want to control PR.

2948
01:44:28,350 --> 01:44:29,710
That's what they do in their own country.

2949
01:44:29,790 --> 01:44:30,630
They control it all.

2950
01:44:31,030 --> 01:44:34,110
I'm expecting a report on the Chinese buying

2951
01:44:34,110 --> 01:44:36,010
land outside of the bases.

2952
01:44:36,010 --> 01:44:41,550
I'm expecting a report about the Chinese suing

2953
01:44:41,550 --> 01:44:44,750
the environmental organizations to get them so they

2954
01:44:44,750 --> 01:44:47,830
would stop us using fossil fuel.

2955
01:44:48,010 --> 01:44:48,730
Here's what you could do.

2956
01:44:48,790 --> 01:44:51,770
You could stop watching NTD, but it won't

2957
01:44:51,770 --> 01:44:52,590
bother you so much.

2958
01:44:52,990 --> 01:44:55,210
And then what I get is this Falun

2959
01:44:55,210 --> 01:44:57,830
Gong, Falun Gong, Falun Gong stuff.

2960
01:44:57,990 --> 01:45:00,110
It just baffles me.

2961
01:45:00,410 --> 01:45:01,550
Yeah, me too.

2962
01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:06,620
But it's like everything else that's never explained.

2963
01:45:06,620 --> 01:45:07,660
Breaking news.

2964
01:45:07,820 --> 01:45:09,120
When we come back here tonight, the new

2965
01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:11,040
drug just approved by the FDA for your

2966
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:11,420
dog.

2967
01:45:11,620 --> 01:45:12,720
Oh, okay.

2968
01:45:15,420 --> 01:45:16,220
Wait a minute.

2969
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:17,920
They're breaking news.

2970
01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:22,500
That was David Muir, ABC breaking news about

2971
01:45:22,500 --> 01:45:23,780
a dog drug.

2972
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:24,380
Here we go.

2973
01:45:24,480 --> 01:45:26,620
The FDA this evening approving a long acting

2974
01:45:26,620 --> 01:45:28,900
drug to protect dogs against fleas and ticks.

2975
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:29,700
Real promise here.

2976
01:45:30,040 --> 01:45:32,180
The drug Prevecto Quantum is given by.

2977
01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:33,600
They pay for this ad.

2978
01:45:33,740 --> 01:45:34,880
Well, it's very short.

2979
01:45:35,140 --> 01:45:37,500
This is a new category of advertising.

2980
01:45:37,500 --> 01:45:38,820
Breaking news.

2981
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:41,880
So we have the teaser is four seconds.

2982
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:43,260
When we come back here tonight, the new

2983
01:45:43,260 --> 01:45:45,180
drug just approved by the FDA for your

2984
01:45:45,180 --> 01:45:45,580
dog.

2985
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:48,100
And then the actual story is 17 seconds.

2986
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:50,340
The FDA this evening approving a long acting

2987
01:45:50,340 --> 01:45:52,620
drug to protect dogs against fleas and ticks.

2988
01:45:52,680 --> 01:45:53,380
Real promise here.

2989
01:45:53,780 --> 01:45:56,280
The drug Prevecto Quantum is given by injection.

2990
01:45:56,620 --> 01:45:58,840
It must be prescribed by a licensed veterinarian.

2991
01:45:58,940 --> 01:46:00,980
Potential side effects could include muscle tremors and

2992
01:46:00,980 --> 01:46:01,240
seizures.

2993
01:46:01,780 --> 01:46:03,960
They say this new drug offers protection for

2994
01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:05,380
up to a full year.

2995
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:07,160
They're eating the dogs.

2996
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:09,860
So your dog might get a seizure and

2997
01:46:09,860 --> 01:46:11,440
die, but he won't have fleas.

2998
01:46:12,980 --> 01:46:13,860
That's unbelievable.

2999
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:18,520
Yeah, I must have a couple of TikTok

3000
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:19,160
videos.

3001
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:20,840
Really?

3002
01:46:21,100 --> 01:46:21,540
Okay.

3003
01:46:21,940 --> 01:46:22,560
All right.

3004
01:46:22,780 --> 01:46:23,220
Really?

3005
01:46:23,300 --> 01:46:23,680
Really?

3006
01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:25,400
Well, we can talk about stable coin.

3007
01:46:25,740 --> 01:46:26,360
Oh, let's do this.

3008
01:46:26,440 --> 01:46:27,220
Talk about stable coin.

3009
01:46:27,300 --> 01:46:28,280
You don't have anything on stable.

3010
01:46:28,380 --> 01:46:29,840
I have something on stable coin.

3011
01:46:30,260 --> 01:46:31,120
Okay, play it.

3012
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:31,740
Actually do.

3013
01:46:31,860 --> 01:46:32,700
I'm amenable.

3014
01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:33,460
I don't care.

3015
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:34,040
Okay.

3016
01:46:35,440 --> 01:46:37,380
Well, the numbers go down.

3017
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:39,580
No, no, no, no.

3018
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:40,520
You are wrong.

3019
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:46,420
Margaret Brennan.

3020
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:47,500
This is from this morning.

3021
01:46:47,780 --> 01:46:50,920
Now, first to get to stable coin, we

3022
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:53,420
have to first talk about Jerome Powell, our

3023
01:46:53,420 --> 01:46:54,060
Fed chair.

3024
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:55,440
What have you got?

3025
01:46:55,480 --> 01:46:56,800
What have you in a horse?

3026
01:46:56,940 --> 01:46:58,640
DH unplugged every Tuesday.

3027
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:02,480
Horowitz released on Wednesday.

3028
01:47:02,480 --> 01:47:04,320
I'm trying to plug DH unplugged here.

3029
01:47:04,380 --> 01:47:05,560
I'm plugging the unplugged.

3030
01:47:05,620 --> 01:47:06,380
DH unplugged.

3031
01:47:06,540 --> 01:47:09,300
Have you talked about the replacement of Jay

3032
01:47:09,300 --> 01:47:09,640
Powell?

3033
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:12,240
No, this is fairly new.

3034
01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:13,680
This came after the last show.

3035
01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:14,500
Oh, okay.

3036
01:47:14,660 --> 01:47:16,720
Well, it's been ongoing for a while.

3037
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:20,600
Nobody expected him to.

3038
01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:24,840
Now there's rumors that he might resign because

3039
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:27,460
he's just sick of it and being hounded

3040
01:47:27,460 --> 01:47:28,120
by Trump.

3041
01:47:28,780 --> 01:47:30,700
Hey, you spent too much on the building,

3042
01:47:30,860 --> 01:47:31,100
man.

3043
01:47:31,100 --> 01:47:33,420
Because you have some oversight in the financial

3044
01:47:33,420 --> 01:47:35,700
space, I want to ask you about comments

3045
01:47:35,700 --> 01:47:39,120
made in regard to Fed chair Jerome Powell.

3046
01:47:39,660 --> 01:47:41,140
The president says the economy is in good

3047
01:47:41,140 --> 01:47:42,880
shape, but he still complains about that.

3048
01:47:42,980 --> 01:47:44,920
The head of the Central Bank says he's

3049
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:47,040
doing a terrible job because he's not lowering

3050
01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:49,640
interest rates on another network today.

3051
01:47:49,960 --> 01:47:52,560
The president's top economic advisor said the White

3052
01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:54,860
House is looking into whether the president has

3053
01:47:54,860 --> 01:47:57,220
the authority to fire chair Powell.

3054
01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:00,200
Do you believe the president has the power

3055
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:02,520
and authority to fire the Fed president?

3056
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:05,380
This is Congressman French Hill being asked this

3057
01:48:05,380 --> 01:48:05,800
question.

3058
01:48:06,380 --> 01:48:07,680
You know, Margaret, I don't.

3059
01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:10,140
And I believe President Trump has spoken about

3060
01:48:10,140 --> 01:48:12,960
this several times over the past two years,

3061
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:19,300
including recently, Mr. Powell's governorship, his chairmanship is

3062
01:48:19,300 --> 01:48:20,400
up next spring.

3063
01:48:20,740 --> 01:48:23,680
The president has vacancies coming up on the

3064
01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:26,420
Fed board where he could name another governor.

3065
01:48:27,210 --> 01:48:31,960
But look, just because Congress created the Fed

3066
01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:33,740
and that we believe that it should be

3067
01:48:33,740 --> 01:48:36,100
independent in the setting of monetary policy.

3068
01:48:36,620 --> 01:48:39,240
It doesn't mean that it's immune from criticism.

3069
01:48:39,660 --> 01:48:41,960
And every president since World War II has

3070
01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:44,540
had choice words for the Fed chair when

3071
01:48:44,540 --> 01:48:46,760
they've not been in sync with the direction

3072
01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:47,440
of the president.

3073
01:48:47,660 --> 01:48:50,420
So look, the Congress continues to do oversight.

3074
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:52,860
I set up a special task force to

3075
01:48:52,860 --> 01:48:56,300
oversee the Fed's decision making since the 2008

3076
01:48:56,300 --> 01:48:57,280
financial crisis.

3077
01:48:57,540 --> 01:49:00,700
We have that investigation, review and oversight underway,

3078
01:49:00,700 --> 01:49:01,740
and we'll continue it.

3079
01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:05,380
So from what I understand, the only issue

3080
01:49:05,380 --> 01:49:09,020
here is President Trump wants the interest rate

3081
01:49:09,020 --> 01:49:11,060
lowered so he can refinance the country.

3082
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:12,800
You tricked me.

3083
01:49:13,840 --> 01:49:14,680
What do you mean?

3084
01:49:14,940 --> 01:49:15,980
Stablecoin is next.

3085
01:49:16,100 --> 01:49:16,800
I didn't trick you.

3086
01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:19,920
But I want to ask you a question.

3087
01:49:20,580 --> 01:49:22,980
Is because you know this better than I

3088
01:49:22,980 --> 01:49:23,160
do.

3089
01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:25,060
Can we just can we just lower the

3090
01:49:25,060 --> 01:49:26,700
interest rate to refire the country?

3091
01:49:26,920 --> 01:49:27,980
Isn't that just a good idea?

3092
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:29,640
Is that a bad idea at this point?

3093
01:49:30,540 --> 01:49:32,400
Actually, you can make the argument the opposite

3094
01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:32,980
is true.

3095
01:49:33,100 --> 01:49:33,420
OK.

3096
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:36,800
And it used to always be the idea

3097
01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:38,920
was you get high inflation and you rack

3098
01:49:38,920 --> 01:49:41,620
up the you make inflation so high that

3099
01:49:41,620 --> 01:49:43,160
you can pay off the debt with cheap

3100
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:43,640
dollars.

3101
01:49:45,580 --> 01:49:47,500
In other words, you devalue the dollar to

3102
01:49:47,500 --> 01:49:49,600
such an extent because the debt is in

3103
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:50,000
dollars.

3104
01:49:50,100 --> 01:49:51,080
It's not in a flow.

3105
01:49:51,140 --> 01:49:51,980
It's not floating.

3106
01:49:51,980 --> 01:49:52,420
Right now.

3107
01:49:52,480 --> 01:49:54,140
But we have to we have to borrow

3108
01:49:54,140 --> 01:49:55,660
money to pay it back.

3109
01:49:56,060 --> 01:49:57,760
So you want to borrow at a lower

3110
01:49:57,760 --> 01:49:58,420
interest rate.

3111
01:49:59,260 --> 01:50:00,180
We don't have the money.

3112
01:50:01,500 --> 01:50:02,920
Yeah, you want to borrow at the lowest

3113
01:50:02,920 --> 01:50:04,020
interest rate you can.

3114
01:50:04,300 --> 01:50:05,920
But the way but if you can pay

3115
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:07,940
back in cheap dollars, it's the same thing.

3116
01:50:08,020 --> 01:50:08,720
There's nothing.

3117
01:50:09,460 --> 01:50:11,800
Just it's a it's a wash one way

3118
01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:12,220
or the other.

3119
01:50:12,660 --> 01:50:14,500
This is not going to help anything.

3120
01:50:14,620 --> 01:50:14,940
OK.

3121
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:15,720
Stablecoin.

3122
01:50:15,820 --> 01:50:18,220
The idea is what Trump's idea is to

3123
01:50:18,220 --> 01:50:20,320
get the I don't think it's for refinancing

3124
01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:21,360
or or any.

3125
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:22,480
That's what he says.

3126
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:23,580
No, it is.

3127
01:50:23,640 --> 01:50:24,940
But I think it's really to crank up

3128
01:50:24,940 --> 01:50:27,160
the economy because if everything gets, you know,

3129
01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:27,700
you get cheaper.

3130
01:50:27,980 --> 01:50:28,340
Yeah.

3131
01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:30,040
You know, 2 percent interest rate.

3132
01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:31,320
People are going to be borrowing more money.

3133
01:50:31,380 --> 01:50:32,700
They're going to be starting more businesses.

3134
01:50:32,700 --> 01:50:34,220
They're going to be hiring more people.

3135
01:50:34,860 --> 01:50:35,960
And everybody's going to be happy.

3136
01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:37,820
And you get people buying more houses and

3137
01:50:37,820 --> 01:50:39,400
the prices are going to go up and

3138
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:40,100
blah, blah, blah.

3139
01:50:40,440 --> 01:50:43,140
OK, well, it sounds like a good idea.

3140
01:50:43,860 --> 01:50:45,080
Yeah, it does sound like a good idea.

3141
01:50:45,080 --> 01:50:47,240
But the way the Fed sees it is

3142
01:50:47,240 --> 01:50:49,740
that, well, you haven't proven anything yet with

3143
01:50:49,740 --> 01:50:50,800
the tariff threats.

3144
01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:54,640
And until that settles down, we I saw

3145
01:50:54,640 --> 01:50:56,680
we had a surplus at the U.S.

3146
01:50:56,780 --> 01:50:59,420
Treasury for the first time in years because

3147
01:50:59,420 --> 01:51:00,420
of the tariff money.

3148
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:04,960
So I think that's bogus.

3149
01:51:06,240 --> 01:51:08,460
The answer is still stablecoin.

3150
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:10,740
I think you'd acknowledge that most presidents might

3151
01:51:10,740 --> 01:51:13,040
have those choice words behind closed doors, not

3152
01:51:13,040 --> 01:51:15,280
on social media posts on a regular basis,

3153
01:51:16,380 --> 01:51:16,740
Congressman.

3154
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:19,700
But on crypto, I want to ask you,

3155
01:51:20,140 --> 01:51:23,520
crypto has been Wild West, right?

3156
01:51:24,040 --> 01:51:26,120
Because they don't have the same kind of

3157
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:26,820
regulation.

3158
01:51:27,140 --> 01:51:27,620
Wild West.

3159
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:30,240
The digital assets space that there does exist

3160
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:32,220
for banks and financial services.

3161
01:51:32,740 --> 01:51:34,780
You've got a few measures coming up this

3162
01:51:34,780 --> 01:51:35,100
week.

3163
01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:39,600
How do you make sure as you put

3164
01:51:39,600 --> 01:51:41,800
these regulations in place that kind of help

3165
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:46,220
crypto become mainstream, that it doesn't also benefit

3166
01:51:46,220 --> 01:51:48,600
some of those on the black market, for

3167
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:52,620
example, who use this to evade oversight?

3168
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:54,100
She is so dumb.

3169
01:51:54,340 --> 01:51:56,000
But okay, Frenchy, go ahead.

3170
01:51:56,780 --> 01:51:58,540
Well, in the work in the Senate led

3171
01:51:58,540 --> 01:52:01,020
by Bill Hagerty and Tim Scott and Cynthia

3172
01:52:01,020 --> 01:52:04,040
Lummis on the Genius Act to create a

3173
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:07,960
dollar-backed stablecoin, we've heavily influenced that legislation

3174
01:52:07,960 --> 01:52:10,000
over the two years of previous work by

3175
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:13,020
the House and our Clarity Act, which sets

3176
01:52:13,020 --> 01:52:15,080
up the rules of the road for what's

3177
01:52:15,080 --> 01:52:17,140
a commodity, what's a security, how to use

3178
01:52:17,140 --> 01:52:19,600
digital assets, how to store them, how to

3179
01:52:19,600 --> 01:52:20,380
custody of them.

3180
01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:23,360
These are the rules that will protect consumers,

3181
01:52:23,720 --> 01:52:26,500
will limit access to our market and our

3182
01:52:26,500 --> 01:52:30,540
investors from entities outside the United States trying

3183
01:52:30,540 --> 01:52:32,920
to influence the crypto markets.

3184
01:52:33,080 --> 01:52:34,760
We have none of that today.

3185
01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:37,720
What we've had is a mismatch of rules

3186
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:40,000
by enforcement in the Biden administration.

3187
01:52:40,460 --> 01:52:41,860
And I believe the bills we'll have on

3188
01:52:41,860 --> 01:52:44,620
the House floor this week will protect investors,

3189
01:52:44,840 --> 01:52:48,180
consumers, and make America, as President Trump wants,

3190
01:52:48,480 --> 01:52:51,400
a leader in financial technology and crypto and

3191
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:52,780
digital assets innovation.

3192
01:52:53,360 --> 01:52:56,340
So stablecoin is happening and it's totally going

3193
01:52:56,340 --> 01:52:59,160
to be what we talked about, what you

3194
01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:01,980
claim we chased our entire audience away with.

3195
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:07,260
But of course, the most spectacular story of

3196
01:53:07,260 --> 01:53:11,320
the week is just passing $119,000 a

3197
01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:12,280
coin is Bitcoin.

3198
01:53:12,280 --> 01:53:14,600
But you know, sir, that the concern is

3199
01:53:14,600 --> 01:53:17,980
that this is the patina of protection of

3200
01:53:17,980 --> 01:53:20,900
consumers without actual muscle behind it.

3201
01:53:21,460 --> 01:53:23,980
It was interesting to see, and many Americans

3202
01:53:23,980 --> 01:53:26,960
who hold mortgages might have noticed that Fannie

3203
01:53:26,960 --> 01:53:28,740
Mae and Freddie Mac will buy and sell

3204
01:53:28,740 --> 01:53:29,260
mortgages.

3205
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:32,240
The head of the agency, the Federal Housing

3206
01:53:32,240 --> 01:53:35,160
Agency, Bill Pulte, told them they'll have to

3207
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:37,780
prepare a proposal to review crypto as an

3208
01:53:37,780 --> 01:53:39,640
asset on mortgage applications.

3209
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:40,660
Yeah.

3210
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:44,440
Given the huge taxpayer stake in Fannie and

3211
01:53:44,440 --> 01:53:47,680
Freddie, are you comfortable with people using crypto,

3212
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:51,620
something that isn't really, you know, tangible in

3213
01:53:51,620 --> 01:53:53,580
many ways to pay for a down payment

3214
01:53:53,580 --> 01:53:54,120
on the house?

3215
01:53:54,160 --> 01:53:56,040
It's not tangible, this crypto.

3216
01:53:56,600 --> 01:53:57,300
What do you think?

3217
01:53:57,600 --> 01:53:59,620
Well, look at Bitcoin, for example.

3218
01:53:59,860 --> 01:54:01,360
One can now buy Bitcoin.

3219
01:54:01,800 --> 01:54:02,780
It is a commodity.

3220
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:05,040
It's been determined that it's a commodity by

3221
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:07,080
the CFTC and the SEC.

3222
01:54:07,080 --> 01:54:10,000
One can hold it in their brokerage account

3223
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:13,900
through an exchange traded product, an ETF, ETP.

3224
01:54:14,700 --> 01:54:18,840
It's now an asset for millions of Americans.

3225
01:54:19,400 --> 01:54:21,460
And it certainly could be treated like a

3226
01:54:21,460 --> 01:54:24,080
stock or a bond or cash as a

3227
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:27,380
contribution to someone's net worth to qualify for

3228
01:54:27,380 --> 01:54:28,600
a mortgage.

3229
01:54:29,020 --> 01:54:31,660
And if we pass clarity this week, which

3230
01:54:31,660 --> 01:54:33,940
I expect we will on a bipartisan basis,

3231
01:54:34,560 --> 01:54:37,740
and we craft a dollar back stable coin

3232
01:54:37,740 --> 01:54:41,060
like genius offered by Senator Hagerty, we'll have

3233
01:54:41,060 --> 01:54:41,900
the rules of the road.

3234
01:54:42,020 --> 01:54:45,260
It won't be a patina of consumer enforcement.

3235
01:54:45,460 --> 01:54:48,700
It will be real consumer enforcement, investor protection

3236
01:54:48,700 --> 01:54:51,500
and a down payment for the CFTC, the

3237
01:54:51,500 --> 01:54:54,960
SEC and the bank and the bank regulators.

3238
01:54:55,180 --> 01:54:55,700
Yes.

3239
01:54:55,960 --> 01:54:56,380
Yes.

3240
01:54:56,440 --> 01:54:57,100
Down payment.

3241
01:54:57,260 --> 01:54:59,520
Remember when we called it Beanie Babies?

3242
01:55:00,280 --> 01:55:01,300
Boy, were we dumb.

3243
01:55:02,080 --> 01:55:03,700
I still call it that.

3244
01:55:04,900 --> 01:55:07,020
Because I told you you should get someone

3245
01:55:07,020 --> 01:55:08,060
who was 40,000.

3246
01:55:08,220 --> 01:55:09,480
You still wouldn't listen to me.

3247
01:55:10,480 --> 01:55:11,620
I should have bought.

3248
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:12,040
You're right.

3249
01:55:12,080 --> 01:55:14,260
I should have bought Nvidia at that same

3250
01:55:14,260 --> 01:55:15,300
point in time.

3251
01:55:15,500 --> 01:55:16,660
I can't wait to listen.

3252
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:18,020
I would have tripled my money.

3253
01:55:18,300 --> 01:55:18,580
I can't.

3254
01:55:18,660 --> 01:55:19,800
Well, I can't wait.

3255
01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:23,780
Can't wait to hear Horowitz say that Bitcoin's

3256
01:55:23,780 --> 01:55:26,040
price is going up because of Nvidia.

3257
01:55:27,420 --> 01:55:29,860
That seems to be the Wall Street.

3258
01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:31,120
I haven't heard this.

3259
01:55:31,300 --> 01:55:32,520
Oh, it's everywhere.

3260
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:33,680
Oh, yeah.

3261
01:55:33,680 --> 01:55:37,400
It's helped by Nvidia, I guess, for some

3262
01:55:37,400 --> 01:55:37,740
reason.

3263
01:55:38,260 --> 01:55:38,360
Yeah.

3264
01:55:39,280 --> 01:55:39,740
Yeah.

3265
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:41,600
I don't believe it's true, but it's.

3266
01:55:41,660 --> 01:55:44,940
Nvidia's got their own balloon full of hot

3267
01:55:44,940 --> 01:55:45,120
air.

3268
01:55:45,200 --> 01:55:46,620
They don't need it more.

3269
01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:48,680
That thing is amazing.

3270
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:52,000
Four trillion dollars worth.

3271
01:55:52,340 --> 01:55:53,900
Four trillion dollars.

3272
01:55:54,080 --> 01:55:54,320
Yeah.

3273
01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:54,780
Okay.

3274
01:55:55,240 --> 01:55:55,520
Yep.

3275
01:55:56,580 --> 01:55:57,660
That's a good one.

3276
01:55:57,960 --> 01:55:59,260
That is a very good one.

3277
01:55:59,520 --> 01:55:59,760
Yeah.

3278
01:55:59,760 --> 01:56:01,600
For a chatbot.

3279
01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:03,400
For a bunch of chatbots, man.

3280
01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:07,220
The guy has got something going on.

3281
01:56:07,480 --> 01:56:07,620
Yeah.

3282
01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:08,740
A bad jacket.

3283
01:56:08,780 --> 01:56:10,720
Let's do these clips on Harvard.

3284
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:12,940
This is kind of interesting.

3285
01:56:13,340 --> 01:56:16,240
I've always believed that there's something underfoot here.

3286
01:56:16,920 --> 01:56:19,100
It's an idle threat that I think has

3287
01:56:19,100 --> 01:56:21,840
got to freak these universities out, which is

3288
01:56:21,840 --> 01:56:24,100
go after their accreditation.

3289
01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:27,360
The Department of Homeland Security says they're issuing

3290
01:56:27,360 --> 01:56:30,320
subpoenas to Harvard to force them to comply

3291
01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:34,320
with multiple requests for, quote, relevant information concerning

3292
01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:35,420
foreign students.

3293
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:38,020
A statement from the DHS says the move

3294
01:56:38,020 --> 01:56:41,880
comes after the university repeatedly refused past non

3295
01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:45,100
-coercive requests to hand over the required information

3296
01:56:45,100 --> 01:56:49,240
for its student visitor and exchange program certification.

3297
01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:53,120
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says if Harvard won't

3298
01:56:53,120 --> 01:56:55,440
defend the interest of its students, then we

3299
01:56:55,440 --> 01:56:55,800
will.

3300
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:57,840
We tried to do things the easy way

3301
01:56:57,840 --> 01:56:58,400
with Harvard.

3302
01:56:58,820 --> 01:57:01,460
Now, through their refusal to cooperate, we have

3303
01:57:01,460 --> 01:57:02,580
to do things the hard way.

3304
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:05,940
Harvard, like other universities, has allowed foreign students

3305
01:57:05,940 --> 01:57:09,260
to abuse their visa privileges and advocate for

3306
01:57:09,260 --> 01:57:11,240
violence and terrorism on campus.

3307
01:57:11,700 --> 01:57:14,160
In response, Harvard told The Hill that Harvard

3308
01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:16,700
is committed to following the law, and while

3309
01:57:16,700 --> 01:57:20,100
the government's subpoenas are unwarranted, the university will

3310
01:57:20,100 --> 01:57:23,560
continue to cooperate with lawful requests and obligations.

3311
01:57:24,060 --> 01:57:28,020
The administration's ongoing retaliatory actions come as Harvard

3312
01:57:28,020 --> 01:57:30,900
continues to defend itself and its students, faculty,

3313
01:57:31,080 --> 01:57:34,100
and staff against harmful government overreach aimed at

3314
01:57:34,100 --> 01:57:38,040
dictating whom private universities can admit and hire

3315
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:39,180
and what they can teach.

3316
01:57:39,580 --> 01:57:42,300
In addition to the DHS subpoenas, the Department

3317
01:57:42,300 --> 01:57:44,600
of Education and the Department of Health and

3318
01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:47,920
Human Services notifies Harvard's accreditor that the Ivy

3319
01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:51,700
League University might be in violation of anti

3320
01:57:51,700 --> 01:57:55,060
-discrimination laws, citing campus anti-Semitism.

3321
01:57:55,320 --> 01:57:58,820
Well, the anti-Semitism part is bullcrap when

3322
01:57:58,820 --> 01:58:01,280
it comes to DEI, but for sure they've

3323
01:58:01,280 --> 01:58:02,940
discriminated against students.

3324
01:58:04,620 --> 01:58:06,300
Oh yeah, the Chinese in particular.

3325
01:58:06,700 --> 01:58:07,220
Asians, yeah.

3326
01:58:07,520 --> 01:58:08,960
Asian Americans, of course.

3327
01:58:09,700 --> 01:58:09,980
Yeah.

3328
01:58:10,040 --> 01:58:11,760
Yeah, the lawsuit was settled and it was

3329
01:58:11,760 --> 01:58:13,880
proven and they still haven't changed anything.

3330
01:58:14,180 --> 01:58:16,100
And the fact that they get so high

3331
01:58:16,100 --> 01:58:19,080
and mighty about being private, private, private, and

3332
01:58:19,080 --> 01:58:22,100
while fighting not getting government money.

3333
01:58:22,100 --> 01:58:23,700
Where's my $400 million, baby?

3334
01:58:24,060 --> 01:58:24,980
Where's our money?

3335
01:58:24,980 --> 01:58:25,700
Where's our money?

3336
01:58:25,840 --> 01:58:26,480
We're private.

3337
01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:27,500
Give us more money.

3338
01:58:28,240 --> 01:58:29,540
This is, this makes no sense.

3339
01:58:29,640 --> 01:58:33,960
Harvard is, this is hubris taken to an

3340
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:34,420
extreme.

3341
01:58:34,860 --> 01:58:37,020
These guys, why are you doing this?

3342
01:58:37,160 --> 01:58:40,720
Just, you know, I don't get it personally.

3343
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:41,740
Well, you know why?

3344
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:44,060
It's because Epstein went to Harvard, so there's

3345
01:58:44,060 --> 01:58:46,120
probably something in the Epstein files.

3346
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:47,200
Probably something.

3347
01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:48,180
That's exactly it.

3348
01:58:48,320 --> 01:58:48,440
Yeah.

3349
01:58:48,680 --> 01:58:49,720
Is there a part two to that clip

3350
01:58:49,720 --> 01:58:50,240
or is that it?

3351
01:58:50,240 --> 01:58:52,180
No, there is a part two right here.

3352
01:58:52,380 --> 01:58:56,080
Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon says accreditors

3353
01:58:56,080 --> 01:58:59,860
have a responsibility to ensure institutions are upholding

3354
01:58:59,860 --> 01:59:03,500
academic integrity and campus safety and culture.

3355
01:59:03,840 --> 01:59:06,260
The Trump administration says they're currently in talks

3356
01:59:06,260 --> 01:59:06,760
with Harvard.

3357
01:59:07,220 --> 01:59:08,840
President Trump says he's optimistic.

3358
01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:11,680
Yeah, they'll absolutely reach a deal.

3359
01:59:11,820 --> 01:59:13,880
The notice comes nine days after the Trump

3360
01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:17,480
administration's task force to combat anti-Semitism sent

3361
01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:19,620
a letter to Harvard telling them that their

3362
01:59:19,620 --> 01:59:21,920
federal funding is at risk because the school

3363
01:59:21,920 --> 01:59:25,060
allegedly violated their Jewish students' civil rights.

3364
01:59:26,860 --> 01:59:32,520
But again, federal, why, federal funding for what?

3365
01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:33,440
Research.

3366
01:59:35,060 --> 01:59:35,620
Research.

3367
01:59:35,620 --> 01:59:37,420
They can get money from, how about the

3368
01:59:37,420 --> 01:59:41,100
money, how about getting money for, from whom

3369
01:59:41,100 --> 01:59:43,920
the research benefit, from who the, there are

3370
01:59:43,920 --> 01:59:45,740
people that, I'm trying to put the sentence

3371
01:59:45,740 --> 01:59:46,100
together.

3372
01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:49,680
There's a, there's a beneficiary of the research.

3373
01:59:49,680 --> 01:59:50,840
It's called industry.

3374
01:59:51,020 --> 01:59:52,380
It's called the pharma companies.

3375
01:59:52,500 --> 01:59:53,880
They have tons of money.

3376
01:59:54,040 --> 01:59:56,020
They make, some of them make 10 or

3377
01:59:56,020 --> 01:59:59,040
$20 billion a year in net profits.

3378
01:59:59,760 --> 02:00:02,240
Why aren't they research, giving them the money?

3379
02:00:02,300 --> 02:00:04,220
Why is, why is the taxpayer paying for

3380
02:00:04,220 --> 02:00:05,880
research that benefits Pfizer?

3381
02:00:06,240 --> 02:00:07,940
I explained this to me.

3382
02:00:08,100 --> 02:00:08,560
I disagree.

3383
02:00:08,940 --> 02:00:12,240
Without research money going to Harvard, we wouldn't

3384
02:00:12,240 --> 02:00:12,900
have this.

3385
02:00:13,040 --> 02:00:14,380
When we come back here tonight, the new

3386
02:00:14,380 --> 02:00:16,300
drug just approved by the FDA for your

3387
02:00:16,300 --> 02:00:16,540
dog.

3388
02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:18,860
I'm telling you, without that, our defido would

3389
02:00:18,860 --> 02:00:19,400
be dead.

3390
02:00:20,100 --> 02:00:21,240
I really don't know.

3391
02:00:21,540 --> 02:00:22,480
That is, I don't know.

3392
02:00:22,620 --> 02:00:25,760
It's a, it seems personal to me, you

3393
02:00:25,760 --> 02:00:28,640
know, COVID shots.

3394
02:00:28,820 --> 02:00:29,380
I don't know.

3395
02:00:30,300 --> 02:00:31,220
I don't know.

3396
02:00:32,420 --> 02:00:33,320
Johns Hopkins.

3397
02:00:33,480 --> 02:00:35,020
Do they get money to Johns Hopkins?

3398
02:00:35,640 --> 02:00:36,460
Oh yeah.

3399
02:00:36,620 --> 02:00:37,480
They're spooks.

3400
02:00:37,640 --> 02:00:37,780
Yeah.

3401
02:00:38,100 --> 02:00:40,380
The whole thing is Johns Hopkins loaded.

3402
02:00:40,580 --> 02:00:43,480
Well, we're not answering any questions here, but

3403
02:00:43,480 --> 02:00:46,460
I do in that, in that vein have

3404
02:00:46,460 --> 02:00:49,860
more sources, sources about Columbia university.

3405
02:00:50,360 --> 02:00:52,960
Columbia university may be close to a deal

3406
02:00:52,960 --> 02:00:55,600
with the Trump administration to restore its federal

3407
02:00:55,600 --> 02:00:56,120
funding.

3408
02:00:56,220 --> 02:00:58,000
Sources say the deal would help the school

3409
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:01,160
regain access to more than $400 million in

3410
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:01,720
federal funding.

3411
02:01:01,900 --> 02:01:05,260
The Trump administration pulled that money over anti

3412
02:01:05,260 --> 02:01:08,520
-Israel pro-Palestinian protests on campus.

3413
02:01:09,080 --> 02:01:11,980
Meanwhile, Columbia is expected to pay a multimillion

3414
02:01:11,980 --> 02:01:15,040
dollar settlement to victims of alleged civil rights

3415
02:01:15,040 --> 02:01:18,900
violations and implement changes to its diversity, equity,

3416
02:01:18,980 --> 02:01:20,380
and inclusion policies.

3417
02:01:20,500 --> 02:01:24,320
The agreement would also include improving campus security

3418
02:01:24,320 --> 02:01:28,100
for Jewish students and boosting transparency about hiring

3419
02:01:28,100 --> 02:01:29,380
and admissions.

3420
02:01:29,720 --> 02:01:32,420
It's clear he's doing it because he's on

3421
02:01:32,420 --> 02:01:34,640
the Epstein list and the, and Israel is

3422
02:01:34,640 --> 02:01:35,520
telling him to do it.

3423
02:01:35,580 --> 02:01:36,540
It's obvious.

3424
02:01:36,800 --> 02:01:38,740
I don't see how it's so hard for

3425
02:01:38,740 --> 02:01:40,120
you to just understand that.

3426
02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:41,380
Yeah, I don't know.

3427
02:01:41,540 --> 02:01:43,940
I lost with that.

3428
02:01:44,020 --> 02:01:45,200
I want to thank you for your courage

3429
02:01:45,200 --> 02:01:45,980
in the morning to you.

3430
02:01:46,080 --> 02:01:47,280
The man who put the sea in the

3431
02:01:47,280 --> 02:01:49,760
cluster one, say hello to my friend on

3432
02:01:49,760 --> 02:01:50,240
the other end.

3433
02:01:50,300 --> 02:01:56,940
The one, the only Mr. Yeah.

3434
02:02:00,280 --> 02:02:01,780
Well, in the morning, you, Mr. I'm Korean

3435
02:02:01,780 --> 02:02:02,060
morning.

3436
02:02:02,120 --> 02:02:03,420
Our ships, the sea boots and ref in

3437
02:02:03,420 --> 02:02:05,080
the air subs in the water and the

3438
02:02:05,080 --> 02:02:07,760
dames and morning to the trolls in the

3439
02:02:07,760 --> 02:02:08,340
troll room.

3440
02:02:08,480 --> 02:02:15,330
He counts you for 25, 14 today at

3441
02:02:15,330 --> 02:02:15,670
the peak.

3442
02:02:15,810 --> 02:02:16,350
That's nice.

3443
02:02:16,510 --> 02:02:17,470
25, 14.

3444
02:02:17,610 --> 02:02:20,270
That is, that's above average, right?

3445
02:02:21,450 --> 02:02:23,790
Well, it used to be average, but now

3446
02:02:23,790 --> 02:02:25,510
it's above average because our average is currently

3447
02:02:25,510 --> 02:02:26,470
24 on Sunday.

3448
02:02:26,630 --> 02:02:27,930
So it's above average then.

3449
02:02:28,010 --> 02:02:28,630
Hello trolls.

3450
02:02:28,750 --> 02:02:29,610
They are in the troll room.

3451
02:02:32,310 --> 02:02:34,090
They're in the troll room at troll room

3452
02:02:34,090 --> 02:02:36,630
.io, or they may be listening on a

3453
02:02:36,630 --> 02:02:38,610
modern podcast app, which gives you the bat

3454
02:02:38,610 --> 02:02:38,910
signal.

3455
02:02:39,070 --> 02:02:40,770
When we go live, actually fired it off

3456
02:02:40,770 --> 02:02:41,090
late.

3457
02:02:41,330 --> 02:02:41,910
Sorry about that.

3458
02:02:41,910 --> 02:02:42,470
My mistake.

3459
02:02:43,250 --> 02:02:45,290
So if you're mad, don't worry, because when

3460
02:02:45,290 --> 02:02:46,870
it comes out as a podcast, you'll be

3461
02:02:46,870 --> 02:02:50,250
notified within within 90 seconds.

3462
02:02:51,310 --> 02:02:52,890
That's why you want to use something from

3463
02:02:52,890 --> 02:02:54,950
podcastapps.com.

3464
02:02:55,590 --> 02:02:57,290
We are value for value.

3465
02:02:57,590 --> 02:03:00,610
The only way that we gain and garner

3466
02:03:00,610 --> 02:03:03,730
any income is through your time, your talent,

3467
02:03:03,850 --> 02:03:07,230
your treasure, because saving money is also a

3468
02:03:07,230 --> 02:03:09,150
good way for us to create a better

3469
02:03:09,150 --> 02:03:12,330
product for you without spending money on thousands

3470
02:03:12,330 --> 02:03:13,010
of producers.

3471
02:03:13,770 --> 02:03:16,310
That's how we know that this chat GPT

3472
02:03:16,310 --> 02:03:18,790
conversation thing is real.

3473
02:03:18,930 --> 02:03:20,710
That's how we know a lot of things.

3474
02:03:20,770 --> 02:03:22,490
That's how we get all kinds of information.

3475
02:03:24,090 --> 02:03:26,110
That is the oldest joke in the world

3476
02:03:26,110 --> 02:03:26,790
at this point.

3477
02:03:27,210 --> 02:03:28,010
You always chuckle.

3478
02:03:28,110 --> 02:03:30,070
If you stopped chuckling, I wouldn't do it.

3479
02:03:30,190 --> 02:03:30,490
Okay.

3480
02:03:30,610 --> 02:03:32,410
I will no longer chuckle at your dumb

3481
02:03:32,410 --> 02:03:32,730
joke.

3482
02:03:33,990 --> 02:03:35,110
It's not a joke.

3483
02:03:35,270 --> 02:03:36,430
It's it's kind of a bit.

3484
02:03:37,450 --> 02:03:39,710
The joke implies a story.

3485
02:03:40,130 --> 02:03:40,750
It's a bit.

3486
02:03:40,910 --> 02:03:42,190
It's told with a punchline.

3487
02:03:42,270 --> 02:03:43,830
It's instead of that.

3488
02:03:43,950 --> 02:03:44,830
See, I didn't chuckle.

3489
02:03:44,890 --> 02:03:47,010
It's a bit time, talent or treasure, which

3490
02:03:47,010 --> 02:03:49,310
means we accept any of any of the

3491
02:03:49,310 --> 02:03:49,650
above.

3492
02:03:50,770 --> 02:03:54,230
And of course, we love our prompt jockeys

3493
02:03:54,230 --> 02:03:57,170
can't call them artists anymore who bring us

3494
02:03:57,170 --> 02:03:58,930
artwork for every single episode.

3495
02:03:59,590 --> 02:04:01,850
I'm getting pushback now on on some of

3496
02:04:01,850 --> 02:04:03,730
these people like, oh, I'm tired of the

3497
02:04:03,730 --> 02:04:04,790
art anymore.

3498
02:04:05,270 --> 02:04:06,870
But I kind of like the one that

3499
02:04:06,870 --> 02:04:09,690
who did this for episode 1780.

3500
02:04:09,790 --> 02:04:11,250
That's the one I did from New York.

3501
02:04:11,310 --> 02:04:13,870
We titled it chat box and the art

3502
02:04:13,870 --> 02:04:15,590
was by digital.

3503
02:04:15,830 --> 02:04:16,950
Oh, I actually made a mistake.

3504
02:04:17,770 --> 02:04:19,990
I wrote down digital to one to man.

3505
02:04:20,070 --> 02:04:21,350
But of course, it should have been digital

3506
02:04:21,350 --> 02:04:22,730
2112 man.

3507
02:04:22,810 --> 02:04:23,110
Sorry.

3508
02:04:23,790 --> 02:04:26,290
And this was this was we thought it

3509
02:04:26,290 --> 02:04:26,710
was funny.

3510
02:04:26,770 --> 02:04:28,750
It was Pam Bondi ripping up the Epstein

3511
02:04:28,750 --> 02:04:29,250
list.

3512
02:04:29,930 --> 02:04:32,290
If it had been done by a real

3513
02:04:32,290 --> 02:04:33,870
artist, we probably would have chosen that.

3514
02:04:33,950 --> 02:04:35,590
It just shows you need a good idea.

3515
02:04:36,630 --> 02:04:38,030
And of course, you don't need a lot

3516
02:04:38,030 --> 02:04:39,870
of talent anymore to get it out of

3517
02:04:39,870 --> 02:04:41,010
the out of the eye.

3518
02:04:42,290 --> 02:04:43,310
And there it is.

3519
02:04:43,330 --> 02:04:45,730
Man, just look at the page of knowledge

3520
02:04:45,730 --> 02:04:47,070
and art generator dot com.

3521
02:04:47,650 --> 02:04:49,530
Everything has everything and I was the same

3522
02:04:49,530 --> 02:04:50,070
orange.

3523
02:04:50,470 --> 02:04:51,830
We're going to be orange.

3524
02:04:52,050 --> 02:04:53,490
I'm looking at the page right now.

3525
02:04:53,590 --> 02:04:55,890
And there's a good example is measles.

3526
02:04:56,350 --> 02:04:57,330
Everything is orange.

3527
02:04:57,510 --> 02:04:58,830
Everything and Barbie.

3528
02:04:58,830 --> 02:05:00,250
Lolita Express.

3529
02:05:00,610 --> 02:05:00,990
Pots.

3530
02:05:02,050 --> 02:05:03,010
Bongino AI.

3531
02:05:03,470 --> 02:05:04,150
There's a bunch of them.

3532
02:05:04,250 --> 02:05:05,810
They have this orange tinge.

3533
02:05:05,970 --> 02:05:09,650
The whole every whole artwork is tinged.

3534
02:05:09,690 --> 02:05:10,670
It's like tin.

3535
02:05:10,770 --> 02:05:12,390
There's like a tinge problem.

3536
02:05:12,610 --> 02:05:14,010
But even if you go down and look

3537
02:05:14,010 --> 02:05:17,330
at, you know, from two shows ago, everything

3538
02:05:17,330 --> 02:05:17,950
I see.

3539
02:05:18,150 --> 02:05:19,330
Streets is another one.

3540
02:05:19,410 --> 02:05:19,910
It's brand new.

3541
02:05:20,050 --> 02:05:21,490
It's all it's all tinge.

3542
02:05:21,590 --> 02:05:22,510
It's all orange.

3543
02:05:22,730 --> 02:05:24,750
Yeah, this is and you should not get

3544
02:05:24,750 --> 02:05:25,490
enough to put in.

3545
02:05:25,630 --> 02:05:26,850
Don't make it orange.

3546
02:05:26,850 --> 02:05:28,050
Joe Bob.

3547
02:05:28,170 --> 02:05:28,550
Yes.

3548
02:05:28,910 --> 02:05:30,910
Joe Bob is Lolita Express.

3549
02:05:31,050 --> 02:05:31,870
Everything orange.

3550
02:05:32,370 --> 02:05:34,850
It's it actually is kind of awkward.

3551
02:05:35,230 --> 02:05:39,230
Now, I will orange that Bongino orange.

3552
02:05:39,390 --> 02:05:43,250
Now we went for obvious lowbrow reasons.

3553
02:05:43,370 --> 02:05:45,310
We went with the Pam Bondi ripping up

3554
02:05:45,310 --> 02:05:48,070
the Epstein list because, but come on, everyone

3555
02:05:48,070 --> 02:05:49,130
was talking about it.

3556
02:05:49,150 --> 02:05:50,170
That's why we went with it.

3557
02:05:50,230 --> 02:05:51,930
But the one that we both laughed at

3558
02:05:51,930 --> 02:05:53,030
and like the most.

3559
02:05:53,910 --> 02:05:56,090
Without a doubt was the Holland five.

3560
02:05:57,410 --> 02:05:58,550
Yes, you did.

3561
02:05:59,710 --> 02:06:02,130
Which is a new band that the John

3562
02:06:02,130 --> 02:06:03,830
just made up the Holland five.

3563
02:06:04,490 --> 02:06:06,170
And it was a funny piece.

3564
02:06:06,430 --> 02:06:09,270
But it was like a bunch of bunch

3565
02:06:09,270 --> 02:06:13,610
of stereotypical, which I've never seen a Dutch

3566
02:06:13,610 --> 02:06:14,910
person dress like this.

3567
02:06:15,010 --> 02:06:18,430
But you know, that's a very traditional dress.

3568
02:06:18,550 --> 02:06:19,270
Oh, yeah.

3569
02:06:19,450 --> 02:06:20,270
Oh, completely.

3570
02:06:20,510 --> 02:06:22,050
It looks like it's silly.

3571
02:06:22,510 --> 02:06:25,410
It's like it's like the Lederhosen Germans.

3572
02:06:25,410 --> 02:06:27,430
No, it's the Dutch have a very time

3573
02:06:27,430 --> 02:06:29,750
in terms of it's being a stereotype.

3574
02:06:30,030 --> 02:06:30,170
Yeah.

3575
02:06:30,250 --> 02:06:31,210
Although it's a funny look.

3576
02:06:31,350 --> 02:06:33,130
The one thing that you'll never see in

3577
02:06:33,130 --> 02:06:37,170
a typical Dutch quintet ever.

3578
02:06:37,410 --> 02:06:37,610
It's a banjo.

3579
02:06:37,750 --> 02:06:39,470
You'll never see a guy with a banjo.

3580
02:06:39,790 --> 02:06:40,470
No, they don't know.

3581
02:06:40,510 --> 02:06:43,510
They don't play banjos over there at all.

3582
02:06:43,670 --> 02:06:44,230
At all.

3583
02:06:46,090 --> 02:06:47,810
Darren O'Neill flooding the zone.

3584
02:06:47,950 --> 02:06:49,910
We kind of liked his bad liar, Pam

3585
02:06:49,910 --> 02:06:50,430
Bondi.

3586
02:06:50,590 --> 02:06:52,890
She had a shock collar on and said

3587
02:06:52,890 --> 02:06:53,570
bad liar.

3588
02:06:53,810 --> 02:06:55,030
Yeah, it was okay.

3589
02:06:55,410 --> 02:06:56,010
It was okay.

3590
02:06:56,810 --> 02:06:59,470
I used the 50 Shades of something.

3591
02:07:00,750 --> 02:07:04,510
The dominatrix chewing bubblegum on the for the

3592
02:07:04,510 --> 02:07:07,010
for the newsletter.

3593
02:07:07,530 --> 02:07:09,810
Oh, of course you use that one.

3594
02:07:10,230 --> 02:07:11,790
Well, no, it's just no, of course.

3595
02:07:12,110 --> 02:07:12,830
What would of course?

3596
02:07:13,090 --> 02:07:14,890
Because it's it's.

3597
02:07:16,990 --> 02:07:19,630
I also I mean, it was either that

3598
02:07:19,630 --> 02:07:20,430
or the Grok one.

3599
02:07:20,550 --> 02:07:22,770
I like the chatterbox with Darren O'Neill

3600
02:07:22,770 --> 02:07:24,230
with the chattering teeth.

3601
02:07:24,230 --> 02:07:26,630
Because I find chattering teeth to be funny.

3602
02:07:27,250 --> 02:07:27,850
Wow.

3603
02:07:28,070 --> 02:07:29,650
Now, it would have been funnier animated.

3604
02:07:30,990 --> 02:07:32,630
But yeah, the Pam Bondi.

3605
02:07:32,710 --> 02:07:36,110
By the way, just as an aside, animated

3606
02:07:36,110 --> 02:07:38,310
art also works in the podcast apps.

3607
02:07:39,150 --> 02:07:39,610
Good.

3608
02:07:39,850 --> 02:07:43,530
So let's give the artists more new ideas.

3609
02:07:43,970 --> 02:07:45,150
I am giving them an idea.

3610
02:07:45,490 --> 02:07:47,390
It works incredibly well, actually.

3611
02:07:48,470 --> 02:07:50,370
So I wonder if our I wonder if

3612
02:07:50,370 --> 02:07:53,430
this the art generator will hold a GIF.

3613
02:07:54,170 --> 02:07:55,010
Yeah, it should.

3614
02:07:55,330 --> 02:07:56,570
It should present it properly.

3615
02:07:56,850 --> 02:07:57,050
It should.

3616
02:07:57,190 --> 02:07:57,790
I think so.

3617
02:07:57,870 --> 02:07:58,270
It should.

3618
02:07:58,410 --> 02:07:59,210
I don't know that.

3619
02:07:59,430 --> 02:08:00,190
Yeah, it should.

3620
02:08:01,130 --> 02:08:01,570
It should.

3621
02:08:01,770 --> 02:08:02,430
I hope so.

3622
02:08:02,650 --> 02:08:04,270
Because I want people to look at this.

3623
02:08:04,370 --> 02:08:06,410
Everything's a ping on this thing.

3624
02:08:06,710 --> 02:08:08,770
Correct the record has already put you up

3625
02:08:08,770 --> 02:08:11,050
as host of as seen on OAN.

3626
02:08:11,430 --> 02:08:11,690
Okay.

3627
02:08:14,830 --> 02:08:15,270
Brother.

3628
02:08:16,550 --> 02:08:17,330
All right, everybody.

3629
02:08:17,490 --> 02:08:19,730
That is, of course, a big thanks to

3630
02:08:19,730 --> 02:08:22,710
Digital2112man for bringing us the artwork for episode

3631
02:08:22,710 --> 02:08:23,350
17.

3632
02:08:23,350 --> 02:08:24,650
We appreciate that.

3633
02:08:26,630 --> 02:08:29,950
And we appreciate anything anybody does, really.

3634
02:08:30,110 --> 02:08:31,650
I mean, the more choice we have, the

3635
02:08:31,650 --> 02:08:31,990
better.

3636
02:08:32,550 --> 02:08:34,050
No agenda art generator dot com.

3637
02:08:34,130 --> 02:08:35,290
You know, why don't we just have no

3638
02:08:35,290 --> 02:08:36,630
agenda art generator dot com?

3639
02:08:36,690 --> 02:08:38,370
Just be an AI by itself.

3640
02:08:38,750 --> 02:08:40,230
You don't have to upload anything.

3641
02:08:40,290 --> 02:08:41,710
Just type in what you think it should

3642
02:08:41,710 --> 02:08:41,890
be.

3643
02:08:41,930 --> 02:08:43,070
And it creates it for you.

3644
02:08:47,160 --> 02:08:47,920
I don't think so.

3645
02:08:48,040 --> 02:08:48,720
Oh, okay.

3646
02:08:49,380 --> 02:08:49,780
Okay.

3647
02:08:50,420 --> 02:08:51,720
Bring back Nick the rat.

3648
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:52,640
Nick the rat.

3649
02:08:53,300 --> 02:08:55,860
That was nice two episodes ago.

3650
02:08:56,800 --> 02:08:58,440
It was probably only he was probably had

3651
02:08:58,440 --> 02:08:59,580
a day off or something.

3652
02:08:59,680 --> 02:09:00,180
Who knows?

3653
02:09:00,740 --> 02:09:02,280
He hasn't sent anything in since.

3654
02:09:03,020 --> 02:09:06,360
Yeah, well, he's probably mad because I didn't

3655
02:09:06,360 --> 02:09:07,620
do a meet up in New York.

3656
02:09:08,860 --> 02:09:11,480
You know, they were like, Hey, man, what's

3657
02:09:11,480 --> 02:09:12,580
your dance card like?

3658
02:09:14,220 --> 02:09:14,860
I'm here.

3659
02:09:15,100 --> 02:09:16,740
Nick the rat doesn't get mad.

3660
02:09:17,060 --> 02:09:17,700
Yeah, he does.

3661
02:09:18,160 --> 02:09:19,080
Yeah, I think he does.

3662
02:09:19,760 --> 02:09:21,660
On Wednesday nights when he's in the sewer.

3663
02:09:23,240 --> 02:09:25,540
We like to thank everyone who supports us

3664
02:09:25,540 --> 02:09:27,760
with the treasure of the three cheese, time,

3665
02:09:27,920 --> 02:09:28,760
talent and treasure.

3666
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:31,840
And we will thank everybody $50 and above,

3667
02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:33,900
not below 50 for reasons of anonymity.

3668
02:09:34,240 --> 02:09:36,060
And then we have a special category for

3669
02:09:36,060 --> 02:09:36,820
every single show.

3670
02:09:36,920 --> 02:09:39,180
Not that it's necessary, but man, do we

3671
02:09:39,180 --> 02:09:41,100
love it when people come in like Hollywood

3672
02:09:41,100 --> 02:09:45,300
big wigs and give us $200 that gets

3673
02:09:45,300 --> 02:09:49,240
you a special bonus, which is a associate

3674
02:09:49,240 --> 02:09:52,820
executive producer credit, which is real, just like

3675
02:09:52,820 --> 02:09:53,160
Hollywood.

3676
02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:54,980
You can use it anywhere that these type

3677
02:09:54,980 --> 02:09:57,340
of credits are recognized like imdb.com.

3678
02:09:57,840 --> 02:09:59,580
And in addition to that, we'll also read

3679
02:09:59,580 --> 02:10:01,160
your note $300 or above.

3680
02:10:01,340 --> 02:10:03,580
It's no surprise you become an executive producer

3681
02:10:03,580 --> 02:10:04,800
of that particular episode.

3682
02:10:04,800 --> 02:10:06,260
And we'll also read your note.

3683
02:10:06,660 --> 02:10:08,360
And until the end of the month, we

3684
02:10:08,360 --> 02:10:10,520
have our Ph.D. promotion still running your

3685
02:10:10,520 --> 02:10:12,960
Ph.D. in media deconstruction.

3686
02:10:13,040 --> 02:10:14,040
If you want to see what that looks

3687
02:10:14,040 --> 02:10:15,920
like, go to no agenda rings dot com.

3688
02:10:17,140 --> 02:10:19,340
Click on the Ph.D. tab.

3689
02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:26,740
And Mike Musgrave from Latitz, Pennsylvania came in

3690
02:10:26,740 --> 02:10:27,980
with $1,000.

3691
02:10:28,600 --> 02:10:31,240
So he gets the executive producer credit.

3692
02:10:31,360 --> 02:10:34,280
He gets a Ph.D. And I think

3693
02:10:34,280 --> 02:10:35,200
is he already a knight?

3694
02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:37,180
Did he not ask for a knighting?

3695
02:10:37,220 --> 02:10:39,860
Because I don't see anything on the list.

3696
02:10:41,200 --> 02:10:42,580
Why don't we just put him on the

3697
02:10:42,580 --> 02:10:42,820
list?

3698
02:10:42,940 --> 02:10:44,500
Well, I mean, we don't have a knight

3699
02:10:44,500 --> 02:10:44,740
name.

3700
02:10:44,840 --> 02:10:46,360
So he has to give us a knight

3701
02:10:46,360 --> 02:10:46,540
name.

3702
02:10:46,540 --> 02:10:47,720
Yeah, he's got to give us what he

3703
02:10:47,720 --> 02:10:48,640
wants at the round table.

3704
02:10:48,640 --> 02:10:49,900
My name is Mike Musgrave.

3705
02:10:50,060 --> 02:10:52,960
I just wanted to say that you guys

3706
02:10:52,960 --> 02:10:53,740
are the best.

3707
02:10:54,580 --> 02:10:56,920
The information you provide is truly invaluable.

3708
02:10:57,140 --> 02:10:59,220
Super clips and super cuts are my favorite.

3709
02:10:59,380 --> 02:11:01,540
I hope you're enjoying this fragile ceasefire as

3710
02:11:01,540 --> 02:11:02,280
much as I am.

3711
02:11:02,680 --> 02:11:04,920
Have a great day, says Mike Musgrave.

3712
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:05,560
Thank you, Mike.

3713
02:11:05,680 --> 02:11:08,220
And your Ph.D. will be on the

3714
02:11:08,220 --> 02:11:08,640
way.

3715
02:11:09,800 --> 02:11:11,100
After he fills out the form.

3716
02:11:11,260 --> 02:11:14,100
Yes, I'll make Thomas Flanagan in McCall, Idaho.

3717
02:11:14,420 --> 02:11:15,780
Also a thousand dollars.

3718
02:11:15,900 --> 02:11:20,420
Also Ph.D. I have been a listener

3719
02:11:20,420 --> 02:11:21,540
for three years.

3720
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:24,960
My wife, Kelly, gets credit for this introduction.

3721
02:11:25,140 --> 02:11:26,180
Oh, switcheroo?

3722
02:11:26,260 --> 02:11:28,620
For the introduction with a small donation.

3723
02:11:28,820 --> 02:11:30,740
I would like you to consider using the

3724
02:11:30,740 --> 02:11:33,240
phrase, the phase, horse.

3725
02:11:33,560 --> 02:11:34,140
The phrase.

3726
02:11:34,280 --> 02:11:35,120
He means the phrase.

3727
02:11:35,740 --> 02:11:39,280
Okay, says, okay, using the phrase horse pucky

3728
02:11:39,280 --> 02:11:41,300
in addition to bull crap.

3729
02:11:41,960 --> 02:11:44,020
It just has a nice ring to it

3730
02:11:44,020 --> 02:11:44,900
in the same meaning.

3731
02:11:46,500 --> 02:11:47,380
Horse pucky.

3732
02:11:47,580 --> 02:11:49,380
Well, no, it doesn't have the exact same

3733
02:11:49,380 --> 02:11:51,760
meaning because one comes from a bull, a

3734
02:11:51,760 --> 02:11:53,860
steer, and the other one comes from a

3735
02:11:53,860 --> 02:11:54,100
horse.

3736
02:11:54,180 --> 02:11:54,960
It's a different animal.

3737
02:11:55,100 --> 02:11:56,400
It's like saying dog shit.

3738
02:11:57,580 --> 02:11:59,660
It would be also another variable.

3739
02:11:59,660 --> 02:12:01,920
So is that so is this for his

3740
02:12:01,920 --> 02:12:02,620
wife, Kelly?

3741
02:12:03,360 --> 02:12:05,720
Because he says my wife, Kelly, gets credit

3742
02:12:05,720 --> 02:12:06,980
for the introduction.

3743
02:12:07,720 --> 02:12:08,760
What does that mean?

3744
02:12:08,940 --> 02:12:11,360
Maybe it may be introducing him to the

3745
02:12:11,360 --> 02:12:11,640
show.

3746
02:12:12,500 --> 02:12:13,260
I guess so.

3747
02:12:13,340 --> 02:12:13,540
Yeah.

3748
02:12:13,600 --> 02:12:13,960
Okay.

3749
02:12:14,600 --> 02:12:17,400
Uh, this is a, this is a very

3750
02:12:17,400 --> 02:12:18,480
mysterious note.

3751
02:12:19,420 --> 02:12:21,060
Well, you let us know, Thomas.

3752
02:12:21,180 --> 02:12:23,260
And if you want your knighthood, let us

3753
02:12:23,260 --> 02:12:23,900
know as well.

3754
02:12:25,140 --> 02:12:28,020
350 from anonymous who says, Hey, Adam and

3755
02:12:28,020 --> 02:12:29,800
John, I would like to remain anonymous from

3756
02:12:29,800 --> 02:12:30,420
Massachusetts.

3757
02:12:31,020 --> 02:12:31,780
Longtime listener.

3758
02:12:32,140 --> 02:12:32,920
First donation.

3759
02:12:33,160 --> 02:12:35,340
So a ceremonial deducing is in order.

3760
02:12:36,880 --> 02:12:38,600
You've been deduced.

3761
02:12:39,100 --> 02:12:39,800
Thank you.

3762
02:12:40,440 --> 02:12:41,640
I was hit in the mouth with a

3763
02:12:41,640 --> 02:12:43,800
brick during COVID and was floored with both

3764
02:12:43,800 --> 02:12:44,560
of your insights.

3765
02:12:44,700 --> 02:12:45,980
I will try to keep this short.

3766
02:12:46,420 --> 02:12:47,720
Thank you for your courage and what you

3767
02:12:47,720 --> 02:12:49,320
both provide for everyone who listens.

3768
02:12:49,500 --> 02:12:51,700
I'm 29 years old and find it both

3769
02:12:51,700 --> 02:12:54,780
fascinating and worrisome at how little people my

3770
02:12:54,780 --> 02:12:57,020
age care about knowing what's going on in

3771
02:12:57,020 --> 02:12:59,980
the world and the slanted deliveries we see

3772
02:12:59,980 --> 02:13:00,860
every day.

3773
02:13:01,520 --> 02:13:02,500
You know, this is true.

3774
02:13:03,160 --> 02:13:06,660
You know, you in the elevator because we

3775
02:13:06,660 --> 02:13:08,900
were in there so, so often with so

3776
02:13:08,900 --> 02:13:09,480
many people.

3777
02:13:09,480 --> 02:13:10,880
Horrible elevator.

3778
02:13:11,260 --> 02:13:13,860
You would hear people making jokes about Epstein,

3779
02:13:14,100 --> 02:13:16,600
about Epstein's list, but they didn't care.

3780
02:13:17,160 --> 02:13:18,380
It's a punchline.

3781
02:13:18,680 --> 02:13:19,420
They don't care.

3782
02:13:20,080 --> 02:13:21,360
How many people were in the elevator?

3783
02:13:21,480 --> 02:13:21,960
A lot.

3784
02:13:22,460 --> 02:13:26,540
There was a bachelor party and all the

3785
02:13:26,540 --> 02:13:30,280
bros came in and Tina's like bachelor party.

3786
02:13:30,420 --> 02:13:31,220
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

3787
02:13:31,240 --> 02:13:34,040
And they're like, yeah, man, Epstein list, whatever.

3788
02:13:34,740 --> 02:13:37,780
Um, I'm proud to be armed with no

3789
02:13:37,780 --> 02:13:40,620
agenda information, swinging my fists at everyone in

3790
02:13:40,620 --> 02:13:42,000
front of me in the hopes at least

3791
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:44,040
one person tunes in trying to hit him

3792
02:13:44,040 --> 02:13:44,380
in the mouth.

3793
02:13:44,480 --> 02:13:45,020
Thank you again.

3794
02:13:45,260 --> 02:13:47,040
And can I please get a big, loud

3795
02:13:47,040 --> 02:13:47,780
goat karma?

3796
02:13:47,980 --> 02:13:49,080
Why, of course you can.

3797
02:13:49,200 --> 02:13:49,500
Thank you.

3798
02:13:49,520 --> 02:13:49,880
Anonymous.

3799
02:13:50,160 --> 02:13:52,720
You've got karma.

3800
02:13:55,260 --> 02:13:59,200
J.J. Irwindale, Iowa, 33, 333.

3801
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:00,860
Simple, easy.

3802
02:14:01,580 --> 02:14:04,420
Hey, boys, longtime boner, first time donor.

3803
02:14:04,460 --> 02:14:08,360
Give given the theory that the evil entities

3804
02:14:08,360 --> 02:14:10,420
in the world need to tell us what

3805
02:14:10,420 --> 02:14:13,420
they are doing via symbolism or numerology.

3806
02:14:13,600 --> 02:14:15,280
I cannot believe I have not heard the

3807
02:14:15,280 --> 02:14:19,380
theory before theory being about build back better

3808
02:14:19,380 --> 02:14:20,660
from the previous regime.

3809
02:14:20,780 --> 02:14:23,660
Now, look at the big, beautiful bill, cautious

3810
02:14:23,660 --> 02:14:26,940
alliteration or take the bees, make them lowercase,

3811
02:14:26,940 --> 02:14:27,900
smash them together.

3812
02:14:28,020 --> 02:14:29,440
Six, six, six.

3813
02:14:29,820 --> 02:14:30,920
Mark of the beast.

3814
02:14:33,680 --> 02:14:35,700
The globalists are always up to evil stuff.

3815
02:14:35,800 --> 02:14:36,880
No jingles, just karma.

3816
02:14:37,340 --> 02:14:38,340
J.J. And Irwindale.

3817
02:14:38,600 --> 02:14:40,340
He needs a de-douching, by the way.

3818
02:14:42,200 --> 02:14:43,720
You've been de-douched.

3819
02:14:44,440 --> 02:14:46,520
I sent him a note back saying, you

3820
02:14:46,520 --> 02:14:48,900
know, I don't know how we missed that

3821
02:14:48,900 --> 02:14:49,780
because it's so obvious.

3822
02:14:50,020 --> 02:14:51,360
You know, I don't think we missed it.

3823
02:14:51,420 --> 02:14:53,120
It's just it was like, OK, you know,

3824
02:14:53,440 --> 02:14:54,520
I don't know.

3825
02:14:54,620 --> 02:14:55,900
I think no, I think we totally missed

3826
02:14:55,900 --> 02:14:56,040
it.

3827
02:14:56,040 --> 02:14:56,800
I don't remember ever.

3828
02:14:57,000 --> 02:14:58,660
We didn't talk about it because it was

3829
02:14:58,660 --> 02:15:01,000
like so obvious, I guess.

3830
02:15:01,180 --> 02:15:03,540
And here's his karma that he requested.

3831
02:15:03,780 --> 02:15:05,180
You've got karma.

3832
02:15:07,820 --> 02:15:14,140
Sean Holman, Noblesville, Indiana, comes in with 21911.

3833
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:16,680
I'm trying to decode that.

3834
02:15:17,600 --> 02:15:21,720
And Sean says, Luke 18 verses 22 to

3835
02:15:21,720 --> 02:15:24,520
25 share God's blessings.

3836
02:15:24,520 --> 02:15:28,000
Saint Maria Goretti, pray for us.

3837
02:15:28,640 --> 02:15:31,380
Luke, that's I told you seven times, but

3838
02:15:31,380 --> 02:15:32,500
77 times.

3839
02:15:32,660 --> 02:15:33,660
Oh, it's about money.

3840
02:15:33,980 --> 02:15:34,200
Yes.

3841
02:15:34,900 --> 02:15:35,600
Settling the account.

3842
02:15:36,220 --> 02:15:39,320
It's also should be versus B-E-R

3843
02:15:39,320 --> 02:15:40,440
-S-E-S.

3844
02:15:40,620 --> 02:15:41,700
I know what he meant.

3845
02:15:42,280 --> 02:15:43,880
Yeah, I know what he meant, but he

3846
02:15:43,880 --> 02:15:46,060
spelled it as though it was a competition.

3847
02:15:46,360 --> 02:15:48,320
Yeah, I thought that was kind of interesting.

3848
02:15:48,800 --> 02:15:49,840
It's subtle and funny.

3849
02:15:50,180 --> 02:15:52,820
Sir, do name Ralph in Miami, Florida, $211

3850
02:15:52,820 --> 02:15:56,520
.65. I have a blank cell here, which

3851
02:15:56,520 --> 02:15:57,860
gives him a double up karma.

3852
02:15:58,580 --> 02:15:59,500
Oh, there we go.

3853
02:15:59,740 --> 02:16:00,500
Double up karma.

3854
02:16:01,100 --> 02:16:04,340
You've got karma.

3855
02:16:06,540 --> 02:16:09,580
And coming in with 20713, it is, of

3856
02:16:09,580 --> 02:16:11,320
course, the 13th of the seventh month.

3857
02:16:11,380 --> 02:16:12,640
That's Eli the coffee guy.

3858
02:16:13,100 --> 02:16:14,960
And he would like to credit this donation

3859
02:16:14,960 --> 02:16:17,620
to one of their customers, Dame Rita Harrington.

3860
02:16:17,620 --> 02:16:20,180
Her and so many other regular producers of

3861
02:16:20,180 --> 02:16:22,540
this show initially inspired me to start donating.

3862
02:16:23,180 --> 02:16:24,340
I was hit in the mouth back in

3863
02:16:24,340 --> 02:16:24,940
2018.

3864
02:16:25,120 --> 02:16:26,580
It took a few years before I ceased

3865
02:16:26,580 --> 02:16:27,520
being a douchebag.

3866
02:16:27,620 --> 02:16:29,900
However, it was the regular names I heard

3867
02:16:29,900 --> 02:16:31,940
in the donation segments that made me realize

3868
02:16:31,940 --> 02:16:33,940
how valuable this show is to all of

3869
02:16:33,940 --> 02:16:35,059
us, the listeners.

3870
02:16:36,200 --> 02:16:38,360
No agenda has seen me through countless hours

3871
02:16:38,360 --> 02:16:40,639
of traveling the country as a private investigator,

3872
02:16:40,860 --> 02:16:44,080
aka corporate spook, before quitting my job to

3873
02:16:44,080 --> 02:16:46,400
rehab an old house and start a business

3874
02:16:46,400 --> 02:16:47,200
roasting coffee.

3875
02:16:47,540 --> 02:16:49,240
Thank you, Adam and John, for keeping me

3876
02:16:49,240 --> 02:16:50,200
company on this journey.

3877
02:16:50,360 --> 02:16:52,020
Also, thank you to all the producers in

3878
02:16:52,020 --> 02:16:54,080
the no agenda community that helped make this

3879
02:16:54,080 --> 02:16:54,740
show possible.

3880
02:16:55,260 --> 02:16:57,700
Thank you for your courage and stay caffeinated,

3881
02:16:57,820 --> 02:17:00,820
says Eli the coffee guy without a plug.

3882
02:17:02,260 --> 02:17:03,219
Well, I'm going to give him a free

3883
02:17:03,219 --> 02:17:03,520
one.

3884
02:17:03,660 --> 02:17:07,320
That's a GM 20 gigawatt coffee roasters dot

3885
02:17:07,320 --> 02:17:07,639
com.

3886
02:17:09,219 --> 02:17:12,080
So he was a private investigator for corporations

3887
02:17:12,080 --> 02:17:13,299
doing espionage.

3888
02:17:13,379 --> 02:17:14,840
I guess I didn't know this.

3889
02:17:15,219 --> 02:17:15,940
I didn't know this.

3890
02:17:17,520 --> 02:17:17,959
Wow.

3891
02:17:18,320 --> 02:17:21,639
Yeah, I'm also I said espionage, assuming it

3892
02:17:21,639 --> 02:17:23,120
was what else would you do?

3893
02:17:23,320 --> 02:17:23,920
I don't know.

3894
02:17:24,100 --> 02:17:25,540
But that that says a lot.

3895
02:17:25,600 --> 02:17:27,120
He's spying on other companies.

3896
02:17:27,420 --> 02:17:28,799
This show has changed his life.

3897
02:17:28,900 --> 02:17:29,559
That's the point.

3898
02:17:30,200 --> 02:17:31,760
Well, not only that, but he's he's a

3899
02:17:31,760 --> 02:17:32,660
good coffee roaster.

3900
02:17:32,760 --> 02:17:33,559
He's not a slouch.

3901
02:17:33,639 --> 02:17:34,379
It's a good call.

3902
02:17:34,440 --> 02:17:36,059
Occasionally get try other coffee.

3903
02:17:36,219 --> 02:17:36,900
It's good.

3904
02:17:37,080 --> 02:17:38,740
And he holds his own with the best

3905
02:17:38,740 --> 02:17:39,000
of them.

3906
02:17:39,059 --> 02:17:39,700
It's good coffee.

3907
02:17:42,080 --> 02:17:45,760
And his bags are exactly one cradle full

3908
02:17:45,760 --> 02:17:46,240
of coffee.

3909
02:17:46,379 --> 02:17:48,059
His bags are spot on.

3910
02:17:48,160 --> 02:17:50,100
He's got good talking and talking about cradle.

3911
02:17:50,240 --> 02:17:51,340
We got Sarah cradle here.

3912
02:17:51,440 --> 02:17:54,940
She's in East Wenatchee, Washington, 200 bucks.

3913
02:17:55,000 --> 02:17:57,100
And she says, greetings, Adam and John.

3914
02:17:57,760 --> 02:17:59,719
Business owners of Gitmo Nation.

3915
02:18:00,040 --> 02:18:02,200

3916
02:18:02,200 --> 02:18:04,840

3924
02:18:25,160 --> 02:18:25,840
She said it again.

3925
02:18:26,420 --> 02:18:28,840
Gitmo Nation's go to web shop.

3926
02:18:29,360 --> 02:18:30,000
Love you mean it.

3927
02:18:30,160 --> 02:18:31,959
Sarah, the web babe.

3928
02:18:32,180 --> 02:18:34,120
I'm telling you, she should redo no agenda

3929
02:18:34,120 --> 02:18:36,219
of Dvorak.org slash NA.

3930
02:18:36,379 --> 02:18:37,799
If you can give her the password, it'll

3931
02:18:37,799 --> 02:18:38,799
be done quickly.

3932
02:18:40,559 --> 02:18:41,940
She'd love to do it.

3933
02:18:43,600 --> 02:18:44,160
Deflect.

3934
02:18:44,600 --> 02:18:45,160
Deny.

3935
02:18:45,799 --> 02:18:47,139
Linda DePakken, $200.

3936
02:18:47,639 --> 02:18:49,320
Linda always has a similar message.

3937
02:18:49,440 --> 02:18:50,639
She does like Jobs, Karma.

3938
02:18:50,780 --> 02:18:53,000
And she says, worried about AI?

3939

That's ImageMakersInc with a K and work with

unique and winning resumes.

3944
02:19:04,520 --> 02:19:06,420
Promo code Bongino.

3945
02:19:06,740 --> 02:19:10,160
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

3946
02:19:10,340 --> 02:19:11,860
Let's vote for jobs.

3947
02:19:12,420 --> 02:19:13,020
Karma.

3948
02:19:17,059 --> 02:19:18,400
I have a D.

3949
02:19:18,520 --> 02:19:20,799
Clegg who sent in a check and a

3950
02:19:20,799 --> 02:19:21,799
card and a card.

3951
02:19:22,340 --> 02:19:23,360
You can tell it's a card.

3952
02:19:23,459 --> 02:19:23,980
I can tell.

3953
02:19:24,200 --> 02:19:26,340
Because it has a distinctive card sound.

3954
02:19:26,740 --> 02:19:28,379
She wrote a note.

3955
02:19:28,480 --> 02:19:29,940
I think it's a she because I mean,

3956
02:19:29,980 --> 02:19:31,379
D could also be a male name.

3957
02:19:31,740 --> 02:19:33,440
But the writing is female.

3958
02:19:33,780 --> 02:19:35,559
But it could also be male if he

3959
02:19:35,559 --> 02:19:36,340
was an architect.

3960
02:19:36,840 --> 02:19:37,320
That's true.

3961
02:19:38,080 --> 02:19:41,400
So she wrote in all uppercase some.

3962
02:19:41,400 --> 02:19:44,740
Okay, this is a not a tip of

3963
02:19:44,740 --> 02:19:46,100
the day, but it's a tip.

3964
02:19:46,580 --> 02:19:48,120
And she should listen to this.

3965
02:19:48,920 --> 02:19:52,980
Get one of those font creators software font

3966
02:19:52,980 --> 02:19:55,780
creation package and turn this into a font.

3967
02:19:56,200 --> 02:19:59,200
She has gorgeous uppercase writing.

3968
02:20:00,480 --> 02:20:01,700
It's all uppercase.

3969
02:20:01,880 --> 02:20:04,300
It's block letters, but it's just it's really

3970
02:20:04,300 --> 02:20:06,520
pretty as hell.

3971
02:20:06,520 --> 02:20:08,140
ITM, gentlemen, she writes.

3972
02:20:08,280 --> 02:20:11,100
Thank you for all of your hard work

3973
02:20:11,100 --> 02:20:12,600
keeping us informed.

3974
02:20:13,000 --> 02:20:14,060
Please deduce me.

3975
02:20:15,840 --> 02:20:17,600
You've been deduced.

3976
02:20:19,120 --> 02:20:20,900
Also, your best jobs.

3977
02:20:21,000 --> 02:20:23,200
Karma would be very appreciated.

3978
02:20:23,380 --> 02:20:24,480
Blessings to all D.

3979
02:20:24,620 --> 02:20:28,820
Clegg from the sanctuary state of Taxachusetts.

3980
02:20:28,940 --> 02:20:29,720
Oh, I'm sorry.

3981
02:20:30,100 --> 02:20:30,600
Tax it.

3982
02:20:30,700 --> 02:20:31,120
Oh, sorry.

3983
02:20:31,560 --> 02:20:32,120
Tax it.

3984
02:20:32,180 --> 02:20:33,100
Choose nuts.

3985
02:20:33,680 --> 02:20:34,520
There you go.

3986
02:20:34,520 --> 02:20:37,880
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.

3987
02:20:38,040 --> 02:20:39,600
Let's vote for jobs.

3988
02:20:40,180 --> 02:20:45,220
And our final associate executive producer today is

3989
02:20:45,220 --> 02:20:48,220
Pat Hopple from Delafield, Wisconsin.

3990
02:20:48,420 --> 02:20:49,280
200 dollars.

3991
02:20:49,800 --> 02:20:52,380
And Pat says now Pat could be male

3992
02:20:52,380 --> 02:20:54,780
or female, as we know from years of

3993
02:20:54,780 --> 02:20:55,600
Saturday Night Live.

3994
02:20:56,620 --> 02:20:59,520
I'm not sorry to break your mean, doubting

3995
02:20:59,520 --> 02:21:00,620
hearts, John.

3996
02:21:01,660 --> 02:21:02,300
That's a male.

3997
02:21:04,120 --> 02:21:05,640
But POTS is real.

3998
02:21:06,380 --> 02:21:08,100
And I think it was me who came

3999
02:21:08,100 --> 02:21:08,860
up with that story.

4000
02:21:08,980 --> 02:21:10,460
But I never said it wasn't real.

4001
02:21:10,460 --> 02:21:11,880
I love that you're getting blamed.

4002
02:21:12,100 --> 02:21:12,600
I love it.

4003
02:21:12,880 --> 02:21:14,720
That's about time somebody blamed me for something,

4004
02:21:14,800 --> 02:21:16,200
because most of the time they blame you.

4005
02:21:16,440 --> 02:21:17,760
Of course, most of the time they're right.

4006
02:21:18,320 --> 02:21:20,880
Now, with that in mind, we had a

4007
02:21:20,880 --> 02:21:22,080
lot of notes about people.

4008
02:21:22,300 --> 02:21:24,220
We did lots of notes about people with

4009
02:21:24,220 --> 02:21:24,560
POTS.

4010
02:21:24,640 --> 02:21:25,400
The kids got it.

4011
02:21:25,560 --> 02:21:26,820
There is all trade.

4012
02:21:26,960 --> 02:21:28,960
And I generalize.

4013
02:21:29,100 --> 02:21:30,460
Yes, generalize.

4014
02:21:31,180 --> 02:21:33,700
It's all traced back to the COVID vaccine

4015
02:21:33,700 --> 02:21:34,120
shot.

4016
02:21:34,380 --> 02:21:37,200
Some say severe COVID that they didn't have

4017
02:21:37,200 --> 02:21:37,620
a shot.

4018
02:21:38,280 --> 02:21:39,820
Although there's a doctor that's had it for

4019
02:21:39,820 --> 02:21:41,380
30 years that they mentioned in one of

4020
02:21:41,380 --> 02:21:41,760
the notes.

4021
02:21:42,080 --> 02:21:42,460
Yes.

4022
02:21:42,540 --> 02:21:43,560
So there's no shot there.

4023
02:21:43,860 --> 02:21:46,660
So while POTS is real and keeps me

4024
02:21:46,660 --> 02:21:52,060
in a reclined position with fibromyalgia, myalgic encephalomyelitis,

4025
02:21:52,940 --> 02:21:57,360
encephalomyelitis, help me.

4026
02:21:57,880 --> 02:21:58,800
But this could be a woman.

4027
02:22:02,180 --> 02:22:02,740
Encephalomyelitis.

4028
02:22:02,940 --> 02:22:03,460
There we go.

4029
02:22:04,180 --> 02:22:05,360
Chronic fatigue syndrome.

4030
02:22:06,820 --> 02:22:07,380
Encephalomyelitis.

4031
02:22:07,740 --> 02:22:07,840
Yes.

4032
02:22:08,280 --> 02:22:09,800
And histamine intolerance.

4033
02:22:09,920 --> 02:22:12,860
It has kept me unemployed for 25 years.

4034
02:22:13,360 --> 02:22:13,660
Okay.

4035
02:22:13,700 --> 02:22:15,200
So she didn't get it from the shot.

4036
02:22:15,380 --> 02:22:15,600
No.

4037
02:22:16,000 --> 02:22:18,480
And severely cut into my no agenda support.

4038
02:22:18,660 --> 02:22:20,120
Now, now it's a problem.

4039
02:22:20,500 --> 02:22:21,220
Ah, here we go.

4040
02:22:21,360 --> 02:22:24,820
While my wife has carried the economic burden.

4041
02:22:24,820 --> 02:22:28,320
I've been the lousy homemaker mechanic, maintenance man,

4042
02:22:28,440 --> 02:22:28,700
etc.

4043
02:22:28,840 --> 02:22:30,420
And since she is no fan of the

4044
02:22:30,420 --> 02:22:34,360
show, I've had little energy to defend my

4045
02:22:34,360 --> 02:22:36,160
giving her money to you.

4046
02:22:36,540 --> 02:22:37,500
But you're in luck.

4047
02:22:38,000 --> 02:22:40,920
Here's $200 in Elon bucks intercepted from his

4048
02:22:40,920 --> 02:22:43,780
effort to further subordinate the anti-MAGA sentiment

4049
02:22:43,780 --> 02:22:44,560
in Wisconsin.

4050
02:22:45,140 --> 02:22:47,960
Contrary to your exuberant claim of Democrats ruling

4051
02:22:47,960 --> 02:22:51,640
the state, Republicans have relied on extreme gerrymandering

4052
02:22:51,640 --> 02:22:53,620
for many years to keep the crazy coming

4053
02:22:53,620 --> 02:22:54,460
in Wisconsin.

4054
02:22:54,820 --> 02:22:57,140
It would be wise, or at least in

4055
02:22:57,140 --> 02:22:59,920
your financial self-interest, to make an effort

4056
02:22:59,920 --> 02:23:03,300
to learn more about things before carelessly turning

4057
02:23:03,300 --> 02:23:04,440
producers away.

4058
02:23:04,820 --> 02:23:08,240
Please give all us POTS heads some health

4059
02:23:08,240 --> 02:23:09,880
karma, says Pat Hoppel.

4060
02:23:10,000 --> 02:23:14,180
Now, I think that what we were saying

4061
02:23:14,180 --> 02:23:17,800
here, POTS is, because I read it, you

4062
02:23:17,800 --> 02:23:23,560
know, there was an NHS document about POTS,

4063
02:23:23,660 --> 02:23:24,560
and we read that.

4064
02:23:24,820 --> 02:23:25,940
So it's a real thing.

4065
02:23:26,040 --> 02:23:27,940
They don't know where it comes from.

4066
02:23:28,460 --> 02:23:30,900
And the claim was that it seems a

4067
02:23:30,900 --> 02:23:34,120
lot of TikTok women, young women are claiming

4068
02:23:34,120 --> 02:23:37,300
they have POTS because, you know, they weren't

4069
02:23:37,300 --> 02:23:38,280
eating or whatever.

4070
02:23:38,460 --> 02:23:41,120
That's this seems like it's a social contagion

4071
02:23:41,120 --> 02:23:42,260
to say, I have POTS.

4072
02:23:42,980 --> 02:23:43,900
They may have POTS.

4073
02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:44,200
They may.

4074
02:23:44,300 --> 02:23:46,600
Then these women may have all had COVID

4075
02:23:46,600 --> 02:23:47,060
shots.

4076
02:23:47,780 --> 02:23:49,760
I want to mention something else, which is

4077
02:23:49,760 --> 02:23:53,460
his commentary about my generalizing about Wisconsin being

4078
02:23:53,460 --> 02:23:58,900
Democrat run, which it is, and the fact

4079
02:23:58,900 --> 02:24:02,180
is that my doing so resulted in his

4080
02:24:02,180 --> 02:24:02,740
donation.

4081
02:24:03,060 --> 02:24:03,920
Good job.

4082
02:24:04,280 --> 02:24:05,340
This happens a lot.

4083
02:24:05,500 --> 02:24:08,360
I condemn the Indians for being cheap, the

4084
02:24:08,360 --> 02:24:09,140
Indians from India.

4085
02:24:09,320 --> 02:24:10,240
They start giving.

4086
02:24:10,800 --> 02:24:12,440
And they, some of them, you know, say,

4087
02:24:12,520 --> 02:24:14,420
oh, yeah, well, maybe we're cheap because they

4088
02:24:14,420 --> 02:24:14,920
are cheap.

4089
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:16,980
We need to put this into our value

4090
02:24:16,980 --> 02:24:17,920
for value book.

4091
02:24:18,700 --> 02:24:20,040
Value for value for dummies.

4092
02:24:20,500 --> 02:24:21,780
We need to explain how it works.

4093
02:24:21,780 --> 02:24:26,000
You condemn you or say you can say

4094
02:24:26,000 --> 02:24:28,680
something wrong, too, and that'll get attention and

4095
02:24:28,680 --> 02:24:29,420
give you money to get.

4096
02:24:29,540 --> 02:24:31,960
Well, anyway, no harm meant, Pat.

4097
02:24:32,040 --> 02:24:33,960
And thank you to everyone who set us

4098
02:24:33,960 --> 02:24:35,720
straight on POTS being a real thing.

4099
02:24:36,060 --> 02:24:38,520
The social contagion still may be very real,

4100
02:24:38,700 --> 02:24:39,440
very real.

4101
02:24:39,620 --> 02:24:41,440
I'm having trouble talking today.

4102
02:24:41,860 --> 02:24:42,820
Very, very real.

4103
02:24:43,960 --> 02:24:45,920
Here's the karma that you request.

4104
02:24:45,980 --> 02:24:47,060
I'm going to add a goat for you

4105
02:24:47,060 --> 02:24:48,240
because you deserve it.

4106
02:24:48,240 --> 02:24:51,060
You've got karma.

4107
02:24:53,280 --> 02:24:57,260
Wait, Elon was bribing the Wisconsinians.

4108
02:24:57,540 --> 02:24:57,840
Yes.

4109
02:24:58,080 --> 02:24:59,560
With 200 bucks in cash.

4110
02:24:59,880 --> 02:25:00,240
Apparently.

4111
02:25:01,440 --> 02:25:02,900
Well, isn't that illegal?

4112
02:25:03,820 --> 02:25:04,120
No.

4113
02:25:04,300 --> 02:25:05,960
Now you sound like MSNBC.

4114
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:08,560
That's illegal what he's doing.

4115
02:25:08,640 --> 02:25:09,340
It's like a lottery.

4116
02:25:09,440 --> 02:25:09,700
You can't do that.

4117
02:25:09,700 --> 02:25:11,380
It's a bad thing he's doing.

4118
02:25:11,400 --> 02:25:12,160
You can't do that.

4119
02:25:12,260 --> 02:25:12,800
You can't do that.

4120
02:25:12,800 --> 02:25:14,860
Because he's a bad person.

4121
02:25:15,340 --> 02:25:16,700
Thank you all very much.

4122
02:25:16,800 --> 02:25:19,260
Our executive and associate executive producers for helping

4123
02:25:19,260 --> 02:25:21,600
us out for episode 1781.

4124
02:25:21,960 --> 02:25:23,500
We will be thanking the rest of our

4125
02:25:23,500 --> 02:25:25,700
donors $50 and above in our second segment.

4126
02:25:26,040 --> 02:25:28,940
As always, you can go to noagendadonations.com

4127
02:25:28,940 --> 02:25:30,760
and make a donation of any amount.

4128
02:25:31,080 --> 02:25:33,300
People like to do the numerology stuff.

4129
02:25:34,180 --> 02:25:36,180
It's always fun for us to try and

4130
02:25:36,180 --> 02:25:36,920
decode it.

4131
02:25:37,160 --> 02:25:39,040
But we're on to Eli the Coffee Guy

4132
02:25:39,040 --> 02:25:40,660
finally after like two years.

4133
02:25:41,660 --> 02:25:42,720
And thank you.

4134
02:25:42,780 --> 02:25:44,140
It really does make a difference.

4135
02:25:44,140 --> 02:25:45,380
It keeps the show going.

4136
02:25:46,320 --> 02:25:49,220
And these executive and associate executive producer credits,

4137
02:25:49,360 --> 02:25:51,200
as we said before, are good for the

4138
02:25:51,200 --> 02:25:52,000
rest of your life.

4139
02:25:52,060 --> 02:25:53,020
You can use them anywhere.

4140
02:25:53,120 --> 02:25:54,360
These credits are recognized.

4141
02:25:54,500 --> 02:25:56,000
Try them out on imdb.com.

4142
02:25:56,000 --> 02:25:57,240
Our formula is this.

4143
02:25:59,380 --> 02:26:00,560
We hit people in the mouth.

4144
02:26:12,680 --> 02:26:20,960
Hey, Nicole Sheridan, who was RFK Jr.'s running

4145
02:26:20,960 --> 02:26:23,560
mate for a bit there when he was

4146
02:26:23,560 --> 02:26:24,100
still running.

4147
02:26:24,260 --> 02:26:26,760
And of course, she's got the Google money.

4148
02:26:27,900 --> 02:26:29,300
She made a promise.

4149
02:26:29,680 --> 02:26:30,400
Here's the promise.

4150
02:26:30,520 --> 02:26:32,060
And she actually made good on it today.

4151
02:26:32,500 --> 02:26:33,420
Hey, everybody.

4152
02:26:33,880 --> 02:26:37,100
So EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced today that

4153
02:26:37,100 --> 02:26:40,340
his agency will finally release detailed information on

4154
02:26:40,340 --> 02:26:41,120
geoengineering.

4155
02:26:41,420 --> 02:26:43,240
If you followed me for a while, you

4156
02:26:43,240 --> 02:26:45,140
know this is something I care deeply about.

4157
02:26:45,640 --> 02:26:47,340
So this feels like the right moment to

4158
02:26:47,340 --> 02:26:47,680
share.

4159
02:26:47,940 --> 02:26:50,940
I have been speaking with a whistleblower over

4160
02:26:50,940 --> 02:26:53,260
the past several weeks who has helped me

4161
02:26:53,260 --> 02:26:55,680
really understand what's happening in our skies.

4162
02:26:56,280 --> 02:26:58,540
They've given me information that could shed real

4163
02:26:58,540 --> 02:27:00,880
light on these programs, who's behind them, where

4164
02:27:00,880 --> 02:27:03,680
the funding's coming from, and what we can

4165
02:27:03,680 --> 02:27:04,580
do to stop them.

4166
02:27:06,940 --> 02:27:08,480
Another knowage in the staple.

4167
02:27:08,920 --> 02:27:09,560
Comes true.

4168
02:27:09,740 --> 02:27:10,700
Then it's all coming out.

4169
02:27:10,920 --> 02:27:11,780
Second half of show.

4170
02:27:11,980 --> 02:27:12,840
It's all coming out.

4171
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:15,140
I saw the post coming through this morning.

4172
02:27:15,680 --> 02:27:16,620
Play the theremin.

4173
02:27:17,060 --> 02:27:18,520
Why should I play the theremin?

4174
02:27:18,740 --> 02:27:20,520
This is the truth, man.

4175
02:27:20,760 --> 02:27:23,940
They've been spraying us like bugs.

4176
02:27:23,940 --> 02:27:25,920
Like bugs, I tell you.

4177
02:27:27,780 --> 02:27:28,500
Well, good for her.

4178
02:27:28,560 --> 02:27:30,360
I'm glad she's somebody spending money on this

4179
02:27:30,360 --> 02:27:30,600
stuff.

4180
02:27:30,860 --> 02:27:30,960
Yeah.

4181
02:27:31,560 --> 02:27:33,600
You know, we should know about this stuff

4182
02:27:33,600 --> 02:27:34,560
and it's going to come out.

4183
02:27:34,900 --> 02:27:36,580
It's the season of reveal.

4184
02:27:36,760 --> 02:27:37,300
It's here.

4185
02:27:37,940 --> 02:27:38,240
Yeah.

4186
02:27:39,920 --> 02:27:41,960
I have an offbeat clip.

4187
02:27:43,660 --> 02:27:45,580
Just actually, I'd like to play.

4188
02:27:45,660 --> 02:27:47,400
I have two clips from Brooks and Capehart

4189
02:27:47,400 --> 02:27:48,200
from last Friday.

4190
02:27:48,520 --> 02:27:49,420
Goodness gracious.

4191
02:27:50,000 --> 02:27:51,660
That I really think need to be played.

4192
02:27:51,820 --> 02:27:52,220
Okay.

4193
02:27:53,500 --> 02:27:56,160
Because this is giving us more insight.

4194
02:27:56,460 --> 02:28:00,100
We have insight into your hate watch.

4195
02:28:00,420 --> 02:28:01,640
That's the only insight I get.

4196
02:28:01,820 --> 02:28:03,100
You play hate watch material.

4197
02:28:03,320 --> 02:28:03,740
I don't bitch.

4198
02:28:03,840 --> 02:28:05,600
I don't sit there and complain bitterly and

4199
02:28:05,600 --> 02:28:06,600
go and do it.

4200
02:28:06,680 --> 02:28:09,260
Do the Gigi bit on you and you

4201
02:28:09,260 --> 02:28:10,380
do it to me constantly.

4202
02:28:10,640 --> 02:28:11,560
Yes, you do.

4203
02:28:11,680 --> 02:28:16,940
Never, never, never, never find one example.

4204
02:28:17,420 --> 02:28:18,420
Okay, but here's the terrorist.

4205
02:28:18,520 --> 02:28:19,280
This is Brooks.

4206
02:28:19,920 --> 02:28:21,520
He's going to give us a little insight

4207
02:28:21,520 --> 02:28:22,200
on the terrorist.

4208
02:28:23,280 --> 02:28:25,020
Without condemning Trump too much.

4209
02:28:25,180 --> 02:28:26,240
It's early days yet.

4210
02:28:26,320 --> 02:28:28,720
Our latest public inflation numbers are for May.

4211
02:28:29,460 --> 02:28:30,740
That's not up to current.

4212
02:28:30,880 --> 02:28:31,960
So it could be catching up.

4213
02:28:32,220 --> 02:28:33,700
Second, I think a lot of the reason

4214
02:28:33,700 --> 02:28:36,160
a lot of companies are not passing the

4215
02:28:36,160 --> 02:28:38,280
costs onto consumers is because they think they're

4216
02:28:38,280 --> 02:28:39,240
going to come down, that Trump's going to

4217
02:28:39,240 --> 02:28:40,000
change his mind again.

4218
02:28:40,160 --> 02:28:41,800
And so why should they burn their relationship

4219
02:28:41,800 --> 02:28:42,440
with the consumer?

4220
02:28:43,340 --> 02:28:45,060
If Trump's going to pull the tariffs back,

4221
02:28:45,180 --> 02:28:47,140
if it becomes clear over the next three,

4222
02:28:47,220 --> 02:28:49,200
four months that he's not going to pull

4223
02:28:49,200 --> 02:28:51,580
back, then I think consumers are really going

4224
02:28:51,580 --> 02:28:52,680
to start seeing high prices.

4225
02:28:52,840 --> 02:28:53,820
And that's going to be on toys.

4226
02:28:54,020 --> 02:28:55,520
That's going to be on things like car

4227
02:28:55,520 --> 02:28:55,800
seats.

4228
02:28:55,940 --> 02:28:57,060
I've learned a lot about car seats in

4229
02:28:57,060 --> 02:28:57,540
the last month.

4230
02:28:57,660 --> 02:28:59,360
They're way more expensive than I thought they

4231
02:28:59,360 --> 02:29:01,300
were, at least when my kids were little.

4232
02:29:02,260 --> 02:29:05,020
But so then if you start paying 400,

4233
02:29:05,160 --> 02:29:07,140
500 bucks for a car seat, then you

4234
02:29:07,140 --> 02:29:07,420
notice.

4235
02:29:07,680 --> 02:29:09,300
And then the effect on our politics will

4236
02:29:09,300 --> 02:29:09,740
be significant.

4237
02:29:10,240 --> 02:29:12,520
Four or 500 bucks for a car seat?

4238
02:29:12,960 --> 02:29:15,360
What is he talking about, this elitist?

4239
02:29:15,940 --> 02:29:18,080
When's the last time you bought a car

4240
02:29:18,080 --> 02:29:18,680
seat?

4241
02:29:18,840 --> 02:29:20,500
Let me see what a car seat costs

4242
02:29:20,500 --> 02:29:21,120
on Amazon.

4243
02:29:21,120 --> 02:29:24,320
Is he talking about the children's booster seats?

4244
02:29:24,440 --> 02:29:26,620
So kids can sit down, their little toddlers?

4245
02:29:26,760 --> 02:29:27,580
He doesn't have a toddler.

4246
02:29:27,720 --> 02:29:28,460
The guy's 70.

4247
02:29:28,780 --> 02:29:31,740
OK, well, here's a car seat for 229.

4248
02:29:32,380 --> 02:29:33,600
OK, that's not 500.

4249
02:29:33,840 --> 02:29:36,860
No, here's a decompression cushion, which I think

4250
02:29:36,860 --> 02:29:37,900
is fine for the kid.

4251
02:29:38,020 --> 02:29:39,840
Just throw him on that for 29 bucks.

4252
02:29:41,520 --> 02:29:44,000
No, Amazon has a lot of fancy looking

4253
02:29:44,000 --> 02:29:45,160
Graco brand.

4254
02:29:45,280 --> 02:29:49,160
Graco brand, best overall pick, 229, 219.

4255
02:29:49,520 --> 02:29:50,560
So yeah, I don't know.

4256
02:29:50,560 --> 02:29:52,300
I mean, yeah, there's one.

4257
02:29:52,520 --> 02:29:53,840
Maybe he's talking about an actual car.

4258
02:29:53,960 --> 02:29:56,380
Not that, but an actual car seat.

4259
02:29:56,640 --> 02:29:58,960
In other words, the seat that you sit

4260
02:29:58,960 --> 02:29:59,920
in, in your car.

4261
02:30:00,120 --> 02:30:00,940
I don't think so.

4262
02:30:01,320 --> 02:30:01,920
It could be.

4263
02:30:02,040 --> 02:30:02,780
I don't think so.

4264
02:30:02,820 --> 02:30:04,740
Maybe he's just swapping them out randomly.

4265
02:30:05,100 --> 02:30:07,180
No, now you're just going crazy just to

4266
02:30:07,180 --> 02:30:08,460
justify playing these clips.

4267
02:30:10,740 --> 02:30:11,620
Justifying anything.

4268
02:30:12,500 --> 02:30:14,460
OK, well, let's listen to Kay Parton.

4269
02:30:14,640 --> 02:30:15,940
What does he have to say?

4270
02:30:16,120 --> 02:30:18,480
I don't understand what the president's doing here.

4271
02:30:19,040 --> 02:30:22,700
With he's taken his 20th century view of

4272
02:30:22,700 --> 02:30:25,440
tariffs from the 1980s, trying to apply it

4273
02:30:25,440 --> 02:30:26,940
to a 21st century world.

4274
02:30:27,380 --> 02:30:30,040
No one knows what any of this means.

4275
02:30:30,740 --> 02:30:34,560
And David's talking about inflation, higher prices.

4276
02:30:34,960 --> 02:30:36,400
We just don't know.

4277
02:30:37,300 --> 02:30:39,700
Economists say that the American people are going

4278
02:30:39,700 --> 02:30:40,540
to get hammered.

4279
02:30:40,620 --> 02:30:42,880
That the president telling everyone that we're getting

4280
02:30:42,880 --> 02:30:45,760
screwed by these other nations and that they're

4281
02:30:45,760 --> 02:30:46,580
going to pay the tariffs.

4282
02:30:46,620 --> 02:30:48,040
That just isn't true.

4283
02:30:48,040 --> 02:30:50,620
And so the thing I keep coming back

4284
02:30:50,620 --> 02:30:52,680
to on a whole lot of things that

4285
02:30:52,680 --> 02:30:55,920
the president does, I'm asking the question, why

4286
02:30:55,920 --> 02:30:59,860
are we not talking about his mental acuity

4287
02:30:59,860 --> 02:31:02,760
in the way we would if President Biden

4288
02:31:02,760 --> 02:31:04,840
had been saying and doing a lot of

4289
02:31:04,840 --> 02:31:06,160
these erratic things?

4290
02:31:06,380 --> 02:31:08,900
Wow, that that train has come and gone.

4291
02:31:09,780 --> 02:31:10,300
Capehart.

4292
02:31:10,920 --> 02:31:11,440
Really?

4293
02:31:11,520 --> 02:31:13,000
He wants to go back to that.

4294
02:31:13,400 --> 02:31:15,980
Well, how do you get from tariffs to

4295
02:31:15,980 --> 02:31:16,720
to acuity?

4296
02:31:16,720 --> 02:31:19,280
I mean, this guy, these two guys are

4297
02:31:19,280 --> 02:31:20,060
the worst.

4298
02:31:20,880 --> 02:31:22,980
They're just crap.

4299
02:31:23,940 --> 02:31:26,660
And yet there they are on PBS yacking

4300
02:31:26,660 --> 02:31:27,060
away.

4301
02:31:27,260 --> 02:31:28,700
There it is.

4302
02:31:28,760 --> 02:31:29,260
You're mad.

4303
02:31:29,380 --> 02:31:31,340
You're mad that they're on TV and you

4304
02:31:31,340 --> 02:31:34,220
only get a 10 minute hit with Chanel.

4305
02:31:35,060 --> 02:31:36,100
Chanel Rion.

4306
02:31:39,140 --> 02:31:41,720
So I was one of the Zoomers friends

4307
02:31:41,720 --> 02:31:44,380
in New York works for Tory Burch.

4308
02:31:44,580 --> 02:31:46,100
Are you familiar with the Tory Burch?

4309
02:31:47,780 --> 02:31:49,360
Brand of Bagley.

4310
02:31:49,540 --> 02:31:53,800
So I think mainly handbags, Tory Burch handbag.

4311
02:31:53,820 --> 02:31:55,660
I have a handbag story coming up right

4312
02:31:55,660 --> 02:31:56,220
after this.

4313
02:31:56,320 --> 02:31:58,100
So let me just see what is a

4314
02:31:58,100 --> 02:31:59,800
Tory Burch handbag.

4315
02:31:59,980 --> 02:32:00,380
Let me see.

4316
02:32:00,500 --> 02:32:03,520
Tory Burch is a B.I.R.C

4317
02:32:03,520 --> 02:32:06,760
.H. handbag price.

4318
02:32:07,100 --> 02:32:09,160
They probably I'd say they're about five, six

4319
02:32:09,160 --> 02:32:10,220
hundred dollars.

4320
02:32:11,920 --> 02:32:13,600
Now they get a little bit cheaper.

4321
02:32:13,600 --> 02:32:15,940
$3.98 for a tote.

4322
02:32:17,280 --> 02:32:19,780
$3.98 for a cheap tote.

4323
02:32:20,620 --> 02:32:26,060
So and this particular friend does sourcing and

4324
02:32:26,060 --> 02:32:26,580
production.

4325
02:32:26,940 --> 02:32:28,740
So she knew a lot about it.

4326
02:32:28,760 --> 02:32:31,040
And I said, how have the tariffs affected

4327
02:32:31,040 --> 02:32:31,340
you?

4328
02:32:31,980 --> 02:32:33,880
And she's like, yeah, you know, we just

4329
02:32:33,880 --> 02:32:34,260
ate it.

4330
02:32:34,380 --> 02:32:35,720
We couldn't raise our prices.

4331
02:32:36,340 --> 02:32:38,040
So we just ate the 10 percent.

4332
02:32:38,100 --> 02:32:38,720
It's not a problem.

4333
02:32:38,880 --> 02:32:41,180
I think most people I'm reminded I should

4334
02:32:41,180 --> 02:32:41,720
mention this.

4335
02:32:41,720 --> 02:32:43,920
I'm reminded about all these analysis.

4336
02:32:44,120 --> 02:32:45,560
Oh, the tariffs are going to make everything

4337
02:32:45,560 --> 02:32:46,420
do this and that.

4338
02:32:46,480 --> 02:32:47,180
Oh, we're going to do this.

4339
02:32:47,660 --> 02:32:49,540
I'm reminded of the Reagan administration.

4340
02:32:49,540 --> 02:32:51,820
If anybody remembers that far back, I'm probably

4341
02:32:51,820 --> 02:32:52,920
the only one here that does.

4342
02:32:53,040 --> 02:32:56,780
But when Reagan ran against George H.W.

4343
02:32:56,880 --> 02:32:58,880
Bush, he was actually running against a number

4344
02:32:58,880 --> 02:33:00,720
of candidates and George H.W., who he

4345
02:33:00,720 --> 02:33:02,160
picked as vice president, was one of his

4346
02:33:02,160 --> 02:33:02,580
candidates.

4347
02:33:02,740 --> 02:33:07,160
And he called Reagan's supply side economic theories,

4348
02:33:07,200 --> 02:33:08,700
which came from Milton Friedman.

4349
02:33:08,840 --> 02:33:11,180
He called them voodoo economics.

4350
02:33:11,780 --> 02:33:13,680
Voodoo economics is none of it's going to

4351
02:33:13,680 --> 02:33:14,100
work.

4352
02:33:14,620 --> 02:33:16,120
And of course, it worked fine.

4353
02:33:16,320 --> 02:33:18,320
And then Milton Friedman all of a sudden

4354
02:33:18,320 --> 02:33:20,640
became a folk hero with all his theories

4355
02:33:20,640 --> 02:33:23,440
and ideas about inflation and everything in between.

4356
02:33:23,640 --> 02:33:25,760
And now everyone thinks of Milton Friedman as

4357
02:33:25,760 --> 02:33:26,540
some sort of a genius.

4358
02:33:26,640 --> 02:33:27,800
They didn't think so before.

4359
02:33:28,100 --> 02:33:29,180
Voodoo economics.

4360
02:33:29,500 --> 02:33:31,240
So they're doing the same thing here with

4361
02:33:31,240 --> 02:33:31,460
Trump.

4362
02:33:31,540 --> 02:33:33,060
They're just making stuff up.

4363
02:33:33,920 --> 02:33:36,100
What I thought was interesting that she said,

4364
02:33:36,180 --> 02:33:38,220
you know, we could not raise the price

4365
02:33:38,220 --> 02:33:40,960
because I guess these things are very price

4366
02:33:40,960 --> 02:33:41,240
sensitive.

4367
02:33:41,340 --> 02:33:43,780
We all know, I'm sure the mini Fleming

4368
02:33:43,780 --> 02:33:47,680
soft crossbody retailing for $3.78, it probably

4369
02:33:47,680 --> 02:33:48,660
cost them $10.

4370
02:33:49,620 --> 02:33:50,800
Yeah, they're eight.

4371
02:33:51,340 --> 02:33:54,220
And Tory Burch is a certified billionaire.

4372
02:33:55,340 --> 02:33:59,580
So it's like, you know, we've been charging

4373
02:33:59,580 --> 02:34:01,180
consumers way too much anyway.

4374
02:34:01,280 --> 02:34:02,140
And they just ate it.

4375
02:34:02,560 --> 02:34:03,120
I said, what are you going to do

4376
02:34:03,120 --> 02:34:03,540
in the future?

4377
02:34:03,640 --> 02:34:04,300
We'll just eat it.

4378
02:34:04,940 --> 02:34:05,420
10%.

4379
02:34:05,420 --> 02:34:06,260
It's not a big deal.

4380
02:34:06,600 --> 02:34:07,220
Even if it's 20%.

4381
02:34:07,930 --> 02:34:10,280
They are printing money at these outfits.

4382
02:34:11,080 --> 02:34:12,040
Yes, they are.

4383
02:34:12,140 --> 02:34:13,360
In fact, let's play the clip.

4384
02:34:13,480 --> 02:34:14,940
The top clip on my list.

4385
02:34:15,920 --> 02:34:16,620
Yeah, I don't know.

4386
02:34:16,680 --> 02:34:18,920
What do you think a Jane Birkin?

4387
02:34:19,480 --> 02:34:20,920
It's not Jane Birkin.

4388
02:34:23,220 --> 02:34:23,760
Okay.

4389
02:34:24,020 --> 02:34:25,080
Okay, boomer.

4390
02:34:25,180 --> 02:34:26,080
Jane Birkin bag.

4391
02:34:26,160 --> 02:34:29,740
It is exclusive coveted fashion accessories in the

4392
02:34:29,740 --> 02:34:30,140
world.

4393
02:34:30,440 --> 02:34:32,460
The Birkin bag made by Hermes.

4394
02:34:32,460 --> 02:34:35,260
The large boxy purses come with long wait

4395
02:34:35,260 --> 02:34:35,620
lists.

4396
02:34:35,880 --> 02:34:38,400
And even used bags can sell for tens

4397
02:34:38,400 --> 02:34:39,940
of thousands of dollars.

4398
02:34:40,200 --> 02:34:41,540
But if you think that's a lot, well,

4399
02:34:41,660 --> 02:34:44,060
the original Birkin bag just sold for more

4400
02:34:44,060 --> 02:34:47,180
than $10 million yesterday at Sotheby's in Paris.

4401
02:34:52,260 --> 02:34:55,500
This first Birkin bag was made specifically for

4402
02:34:55,500 --> 02:34:57,900
the late Jane Birkin, the British born singer

4403
02:34:57,900 --> 02:35:00,080
and actress who became a French icon.

4404
02:35:00,080 --> 02:35:02,540
She died in 2023 at the age of

4405
02:35:02,540 --> 02:35:03,240
76.

4406
02:35:03,940 --> 02:35:06,240
And her bag comes with quite a backstory.

4407
02:35:06,580 --> 02:35:09,240
As Sotheby's tells it, in 1981, Birkin was

4408
02:35:09,240 --> 02:35:11,500
struggling to cram a wicker basket full of

4409
02:35:11,500 --> 02:35:14,040
her belongings into an overhead bin on a

4410
02:35:14,040 --> 02:35:14,380
flight.

4411
02:35:14,880 --> 02:35:17,380
The contents of her basket, though, spilled into

4412
02:35:17,380 --> 02:35:19,540
the lap of Jean-Louis Dumas, the head

4413
02:35:19,540 --> 02:35:20,060
of Hermes.

4414
02:35:20,160 --> 02:35:21,940
The two struck up a conversation about how

4415
02:35:21,940 --> 02:35:23,980
Birkin needed a bigger bag to lug her

4416
02:35:23,980 --> 02:35:24,600
things around.

4417
02:35:24,800 --> 02:35:27,060
And when Dumas asked her to draw a

4418
02:35:27,060 --> 02:35:29,600
sketch, she drew one on the air sickness

4419
02:35:29,600 --> 02:35:31,220
bag from the seat back pocket.

4420
02:35:31,340 --> 02:35:33,780
A few years later, Hermes gifted a prototype

4421
02:35:33,780 --> 02:35:35,800
of the bag to Birkin and asked if

4422
02:35:35,800 --> 02:35:37,240
the company could put her name on it.

4423
02:35:37,560 --> 02:35:39,380
And thus, the Birkin bag was born.

4424
02:35:39,600 --> 02:35:42,120
Jane Birkin carried her namesake black leather bag

4425
02:35:42,120 --> 02:35:43,220
for almost a decade.

4426
02:35:43,600 --> 02:35:45,900
In 1994, she donated it to raise funds

4427
02:35:45,900 --> 02:35:46,880
for an AIDS charity.

4428
02:35:47,100 --> 02:35:49,640
The legendary prototype was sold with marks and

4429
02:35:49,640 --> 02:35:52,280
scratches and includes a few unique features from

4430
02:35:52,280 --> 02:35:55,960
its original owner, like Birkin's initials JB stamped

4431
02:35:55,960 --> 02:35:58,480
on the front flap and her dainty pair

4432
02:35:58,480 --> 02:36:00,820
of nail clippers hanging from its strap.

4433
02:36:01,180 --> 02:36:03,720
Valuance Japan, a Tokyo-based reseller of design

4434
02:36:03,720 --> 02:36:06,640
goods, said it paid the $10 million for

4435
02:36:06,640 --> 02:36:07,080
the bag.

4436
02:36:07,680 --> 02:36:09,100
All right, I stand corrected.

4437
02:36:09,340 --> 02:36:09,820
I stand corrected.

4438
02:36:09,820 --> 02:36:11,640
So who do you think the Birkin bag

4439
02:36:11,640 --> 02:36:12,860
was named after, Boomer?

4440
02:36:13,800 --> 02:36:15,680
I'm going to say Jane Birkin.

4441
02:36:16,580 --> 02:36:17,980
I stand corrected.

4442
02:36:18,480 --> 02:36:19,480
I stand corrected.

4443
02:36:19,620 --> 02:36:22,060
But it also gave me an outstanding idea.

4444
02:36:22,960 --> 02:36:23,440
Ready?

4445
02:36:24,800 --> 02:36:26,320
The Dvorak duffel.

4446
02:36:27,160 --> 02:36:28,720
I don't use a duffel.

4447
02:36:28,840 --> 02:36:29,740
You do now.

4448
02:36:30,480 --> 02:36:32,160
You drew it on the back of a

4449
02:36:32,160 --> 02:36:34,520
puke bag and now it's the Dvorak duffel.

4450
02:36:34,600 --> 02:36:37,320
And we also have the curry coach now

4451
02:36:37,320 --> 02:36:39,300
available in the No Agenda shop.

4452
02:36:39,980 --> 02:36:41,920
I would hope the No Agenda shop would

4453
02:36:41,920 --> 02:36:42,340
do this.

4454
02:36:42,500 --> 02:36:45,580
Now, have you even seen a barf bag

4455
02:36:45,580 --> 02:36:46,880
on a plane in the last decade?

4456
02:36:47,140 --> 02:36:47,820
Yeah, there...

4457
02:36:47,820 --> 02:36:49,580
Yes, because I've been on a plane in

4458
02:36:49,580 --> 02:36:50,360
the last decade.

4459
02:36:50,360 --> 02:36:51,420
I've been on a plane.

4460
02:36:51,520 --> 02:36:52,860
I don't remember seeing barf bags.

4461
02:36:52,940 --> 02:36:53,800
I think they took them off.

4462
02:36:54,000 --> 02:36:54,980
No, they're in there.

4463
02:36:56,340 --> 02:36:57,280
Of course they are.

4464
02:36:59,000 --> 02:36:59,740
Have you seen...

4465
02:36:59,740 --> 02:37:01,080
I've been on planes where there's not even

4466
02:37:01,080 --> 02:37:02,760
a magazine in that little thing.

4467
02:37:03,420 --> 02:37:04,180
Magazines are gone.

4468
02:37:04,460 --> 02:37:06,160
Have you seen someone barf in a barf

4469
02:37:06,160 --> 02:37:07,280
bag in the last decade?

4470
02:37:08,100 --> 02:37:10,380
No, but we had one time we were

4471
02:37:10,380 --> 02:37:10,960
the family.

4472
02:37:11,200 --> 02:37:12,520
It was, I think it was Eric.

4473
02:37:14,180 --> 02:37:16,120
We went to Hawaii and for some reason,

4474
02:37:16,140 --> 02:37:17,380
I don't know what happened, but Eric, I

4475
02:37:17,380 --> 02:37:19,720
think, got sick and he barfed in the

4476
02:37:19,720 --> 02:37:20,340
barf bag.

4477
02:37:20,360 --> 02:37:20,920
Nice.

4478
02:37:21,880 --> 02:37:23,440
And then he wrapped it and it has

4479
02:37:23,440 --> 02:37:24,920
a little clip so you can close it

4480
02:37:24,920 --> 02:37:25,100
up.

4481
02:37:25,240 --> 02:37:25,360
Yep.

4482
02:37:25,420 --> 02:37:27,280
And he put it on the ground and

4483
02:37:27,280 --> 02:37:28,800
then the plane had a rough landing and

4484
02:37:28,800 --> 02:37:31,700
the barf bag seemed to have rolled away

4485
02:37:31,700 --> 02:37:33,740
under somebody else's seat.

4486
02:37:34,780 --> 02:37:36,420
So it was God knows where it was.

4487
02:37:36,840 --> 02:37:38,380
We snuck out of the plane as fast

4488
02:37:38,380 --> 02:37:38,740
as we could.

4489
02:37:38,800 --> 02:37:41,180
Figured somebody either stepped on it or what

4490
02:37:41,180 --> 02:37:42,100
the hell is this?

4491
02:37:42,520 --> 02:37:43,800
No, no, no, no.

4492
02:37:43,820 --> 02:37:44,580
That's wrong.

4493
02:37:44,580 --> 02:37:51,080
On our flight home yesterday, we actually got

4494
02:37:51,080 --> 02:37:51,800
a...

4495
02:37:51,800 --> 02:37:56,800
If there's anyone who has medical qualifications, we

4496
02:37:56,800 --> 02:37:58,760
could use you in row 23, please.

4497
02:37:58,860 --> 02:37:59,600
Row 23.

4498
02:38:00,380 --> 02:38:02,120
You never want to hear that on the

4499
02:38:02,120 --> 02:38:02,520
plane.

4500
02:38:02,860 --> 02:38:05,660
No, because it often leads to an emergency

4501
02:38:05,660 --> 02:38:07,380
landing in the middle of nowhere.

4502
02:38:07,680 --> 02:38:10,840
So it did not, but we actually were

4503
02:38:10,840 --> 02:38:13,500
delayed by almost an hour and we arrived

4504
02:38:13,500 --> 02:38:15,260
almost on time.

4505
02:38:15,400 --> 02:38:17,520
Now they always, you know, skew these times

4506
02:38:17,520 --> 02:38:18,280
no matter what.

4507
02:38:18,700 --> 02:38:20,680
But when we landed, you know, paramedics came

4508
02:38:20,680 --> 02:38:22,420
on board right away.

4509
02:38:22,580 --> 02:38:23,960
You know, they had EMS. They had a

4510
02:38:23,960 --> 02:38:26,720
clinical guy and I guess the woman had

4511
02:38:26,720 --> 02:38:27,140
fainted.

4512
02:38:27,180 --> 02:38:27,660
She was fine.

4513
02:38:27,720 --> 02:38:28,800
She walked off with them.

4514
02:38:29,220 --> 02:38:32,080
But the pilot then says, that was actually

4515
02:38:32,080 --> 02:38:33,440
kind of cool because I got to fly

4516
02:38:33,440 --> 02:38:35,100
a lot faster than I usually do.

4517
02:38:35,240 --> 02:38:38,400
We got full on priority.

4518
02:38:39,020 --> 02:38:40,820
You know, we got to a gate, you

4519
02:38:40,820 --> 02:38:42,600
know, a gate that was empty even though

4520
02:38:42,600 --> 02:38:45,620
our gate was initially occupied.

4521
02:38:46,740 --> 02:38:47,240
Yeah, it's true.

4522
02:38:47,440 --> 02:38:48,480
So that was great.

4523
02:38:49,100 --> 02:38:50,080
More of that, please.

4524
02:38:50,900 --> 02:38:53,080
Yeah, well, I almost had that opportunity once,

4525
02:38:53,160 --> 02:38:55,800
but some guy, I had a guy die

4526
02:38:55,800 --> 02:38:56,860
on the flight.

4527
02:38:57,360 --> 02:38:58,140
Next to you?

4528
02:38:58,700 --> 02:39:00,660
No, I hope not.

4529
02:39:01,220 --> 02:39:02,800
No, some guy died on the flight.

4530
02:39:02,820 --> 02:39:03,420
It was a big flight.

4531
02:39:03,460 --> 02:39:04,460
It was a flight from Japan.

4532
02:39:04,640 --> 02:39:06,500
Oh no, they had to put him on

4533
02:39:06,500 --> 02:39:06,700
ice.

4534
02:39:06,760 --> 02:39:07,660
And they were over the middle of the

4535
02:39:07,660 --> 02:39:09,160
Pacific, so they couldn't do anything.

4536
02:39:09,160 --> 02:39:12,720
And there was a doctor on board, luckily,

4537
02:39:13,260 --> 02:39:15,340
and he pronounced the guy dead on the

4538
02:39:15,340 --> 02:39:17,000
plane so they didn't have to land in

4539
02:39:17,000 --> 02:39:19,180
Hawaii to get him, you know, any help

4540
02:39:19,180 --> 02:39:20,080
because he was dead.

4541
02:39:20,480 --> 02:39:21,320
Oh man.

4542
02:39:21,960 --> 02:39:23,840
So we flew all the way to San

4543
02:39:23,840 --> 02:39:24,260
Francisco.

4544
02:39:24,520 --> 02:39:25,580
And then, you know, they...

4545
02:39:25,580 --> 02:39:27,720
Did they zip him up in the bag

4546
02:39:27,720 --> 02:39:28,620
before taking him out?

4547
02:39:28,800 --> 02:39:30,000
And they rolled him out of the plane

4548
02:39:30,000 --> 02:39:31,020
before anybody else.

4549
02:39:31,560 --> 02:39:32,300
Well, yeah.

4550
02:39:32,380 --> 02:39:34,140
I mean, you get priority when you're dead.

4551
02:39:35,620 --> 02:39:36,420
Priority deplaning.

4552
02:39:37,440 --> 02:39:37,800
Yeah.

4553
02:39:38,580 --> 02:39:40,000
So that wasn't pleasant.

4554
02:39:40,500 --> 02:39:40,720
No.

4555
02:39:41,180 --> 02:39:42,740
I don't even know how we got here.

4556
02:39:43,100 --> 02:39:43,360
Yes.

4557
02:39:43,440 --> 02:39:45,980
You started with the bag story.

4558
02:39:46,320 --> 02:39:48,200
Yeah, well, I think that Dvorak Duffel is

4559
02:39:48,200 --> 02:39:48,620
a winner.

4560
02:39:49,180 --> 02:39:51,580
Okay, we got Dvorak Duffel on track.

4561
02:39:51,820 --> 02:39:53,580
As seen on One America News.

4562
02:39:56,020 --> 02:39:57,200
I got the Air India.

4563
02:39:57,300 --> 02:39:58,960
Oh, the K-part stuff I've got.

4564
02:39:59,000 --> 02:40:00,580
No, you did the K-part stuff.

4565
02:40:00,720 --> 02:40:01,120
You did the K-part.

4566
02:40:01,120 --> 02:40:01,360
Yes, I did.

4567
02:40:01,500 --> 02:40:03,760
I do have some interesting flood analysis.

4568
02:40:04,700 --> 02:40:05,180
Oh, okay.

4569
02:40:05,180 --> 02:40:06,220
That's a little offbeat.

4570
02:40:06,220 --> 02:40:08,100
Yeah, I wouldn't mind that because, you know,

4571
02:40:08,120 --> 02:40:08,360
we...

4572
02:40:09,200 --> 02:40:12,340
This morning, it started coming down again like

4573
02:40:12,340 --> 02:40:13,000
crazy.

4574
02:40:13,220 --> 02:40:16,720
Hunt County, or Hunt, the town of Hunt

4575
02:40:16,720 --> 02:40:18,340
is now on flood watch.

4576
02:40:18,780 --> 02:40:21,460
This thing is not over here, so...

4577
02:40:21,460 --> 02:40:23,420
Well, this isn't quite about the flood per

4578
02:40:23,420 --> 02:40:23,600
se.

4579
02:40:23,740 --> 02:40:26,820
It's about the flood planes that are over

4580
02:40:26,820 --> 02:40:28,660
there in Texas, and there's tons of them.

4581
02:40:28,820 --> 02:40:29,120
Yes.

4582
02:40:29,220 --> 02:40:30,600
They're all over the country, actually.

4583
02:40:30,780 --> 02:40:30,880
Yes.

4584
02:40:31,180 --> 02:40:32,420
You notice it when you look at a

4585
02:40:32,420 --> 02:40:32,660
map.

4586
02:40:32,840 --> 02:40:33,080
Yes.

4587
02:40:33,160 --> 02:40:35,040
But this is kind of an interesting...

4588
02:40:35,040 --> 02:40:36,760
I think this is somewhat scandalous.

4589
02:40:36,940 --> 02:40:38,900
This is the interesting Flood Info PBS.

4590
02:40:39,400 --> 02:40:40,900
Laura, what is it that you looked at

4591
02:40:40,900 --> 02:40:41,800
and what did you find?

4592
02:40:42,020 --> 02:40:45,540
What we found was a significantly higher risk

4593
02:40:45,540 --> 02:40:47,600
of flooding in this camp and in this

4594
02:40:47,600 --> 02:40:50,340
area than the federal government has ever reported.

4595
02:40:50,840 --> 02:40:53,240
We found that a number of the cabins

4596
02:40:53,240 --> 02:40:56,560
had an expectation that if a serious storm

4597
02:40:56,560 --> 02:40:58,420
came, they were going to be inundated.

4598
02:40:58,980 --> 02:41:02,060
And yet FEMA's maps, what Americans depend on

4599
02:41:02,060 --> 02:41:03,380
to know whether or not they have a

4600
02:41:03,380 --> 02:41:05,620
flood risk, were not showing this risk.

4601
02:41:06,020 --> 02:41:07,840
And so when we went and looked at

4602
02:41:07,840 --> 02:41:10,020
a number of maps that are done by

4603
02:41:10,020 --> 02:41:12,300
private companies, you can see that if a

4604
02:41:12,300 --> 02:41:14,680
serious storm came, that this place would be

4605
02:41:14,680 --> 02:41:17,600
underwater, not only in the main camp, but

4606
02:41:17,600 --> 02:41:19,700
also off into the new camp that they

4607
02:41:19,700 --> 02:41:20,460
built recently.

4608
02:41:20,760 --> 02:41:22,060
And some of these are done by private

4609
02:41:22,060 --> 02:41:24,060
companies like First Street in New York, which

4610
02:41:24,060 --> 02:41:25,940
was able to show where they expected the

4611
02:41:25,940 --> 02:41:26,620
water to come.

4612
02:41:27,780 --> 02:41:31,580
You know, the thing that's interesting is that

4613
02:41:31,580 --> 02:41:35,100
Camp Mystic has flooded before at these many,

4614
02:41:35,100 --> 02:41:37,200
many floods, 32, 78.

4615
02:41:38,280 --> 02:41:43,000
I mean, it was known, no one wants

4616
02:41:43,000 --> 02:41:43,300
to listen.

4617
02:41:43,520 --> 02:41:45,380
Yes, it was known, but the FEMA, this

4618
02:41:45,380 --> 02:41:47,100
is where the plot thickens, this is part

4619
02:41:47,100 --> 02:41:47,280
two.

4620
02:41:47,660 --> 02:41:48,380
Why the difference?

4621
02:41:48,560 --> 02:41:51,160
Why did these private companies pick it up

4622
02:41:51,160 --> 02:41:52,080
and FEMA not?

4623
02:41:52,480 --> 02:41:54,520
FEMA does not map rainfall.

4624
02:41:54,520 --> 02:41:56,520
They are not mapping flash flooding.

4625
02:41:56,720 --> 02:41:59,120
And they're also not looking forward into what

4626
02:41:59,120 --> 02:42:01,920
sort of climate predictions might be there coming.

4627
02:42:02,540 --> 02:42:03,900
FEMA is looking backward.

4628
02:42:04,440 --> 02:42:07,120
FEMA does not have the mandate from Congress

4629
02:42:07,120 --> 02:42:08,220
to do this work.

4630
02:42:08,440 --> 02:42:10,840
And they also, they don't have the funding

4631
02:42:10,840 --> 02:42:11,500
to do this.

4632
02:42:11,600 --> 02:42:14,540
So there are wonderful scientists at FEMA that

4633
02:42:14,540 --> 02:42:15,720
are capable of doing this.

4634
02:42:15,760 --> 02:42:17,120
They have some of the best data scientists

4635
02:42:17,120 --> 02:42:19,240
in the world, but they are not mapping

4636
02:42:19,240 --> 02:42:20,680
this risk the way a lot of the

4637
02:42:20,680 --> 02:42:22,420
private companies are saying, look, this is a

4638
02:42:22,420 --> 02:42:23,260
serious problem.

4639
02:42:23,260 --> 02:42:25,360
The Associated Press had a story out this

4640
02:42:25,360 --> 02:42:27,480
morning that said that a number of buildings

4641
02:42:27,480 --> 02:42:30,300
at Camp Mystic had been taken off the

4642
02:42:30,300 --> 02:42:33,440
list, because you write in your investigation that

4643
02:42:33,440 --> 02:42:36,320
there are special interests that can appeal.

4644
02:42:36,480 --> 02:42:37,200
How does that work?

4645
02:42:37,580 --> 02:42:39,780
NPR and PBS, we're also reporting this.

4646
02:42:39,920 --> 02:42:41,680
We have the documents that show that this

4647
02:42:41,680 --> 02:42:45,360
camp pulled these buildings out of the floodplain.

4648
02:42:45,480 --> 02:42:47,800
They're saying, we don't wanna have these in

4649
02:42:47,800 --> 02:42:48,680
this risky area.

4650
02:42:48,680 --> 02:42:50,260
So can you just take them out of

4651
02:42:50,260 --> 02:42:50,620
your map?

4652
02:42:50,620 --> 02:42:53,880
And FEMA granted this request for multiple buildings

4653
02:42:53,880 --> 02:42:55,720
back 15 years ago.

4654
02:42:56,260 --> 02:42:58,720
This is a significant problem, because if you

4655
02:42:58,720 --> 02:43:01,120
are in the floodplain, then you are required,

4656
02:43:01,460 --> 02:43:04,220
if you are in a community that belongs

4657
02:43:04,220 --> 02:43:05,980
to this program and you have a federally

4658
02:43:05,980 --> 02:43:08,420
backed mortgage, you are required to build to

4659
02:43:08,420 --> 02:43:09,340
a flood standard.

4660
02:43:09,340 --> 02:43:11,660
That usually means elevating your house so that

4661
02:43:11,660 --> 02:43:14,340
you can survive a significant storm like this,

4662
02:43:14,360 --> 02:43:16,320
a significant flood that's coming through.

4663
02:43:16,320 --> 02:43:19,560
And if you're outside the flood maps, you

4664
02:43:19,560 --> 02:43:21,180
don't have to do that work.

4665
02:43:21,340 --> 02:43:23,620
And that is why a lot of communities

4666
02:43:23,620 --> 02:43:25,140
sometimes ask to come out of it.

4667
02:43:25,260 --> 02:43:28,900
And even private owners like this camp requested

4668
02:43:28,900 --> 02:43:30,040
to come out of the floodplain.

4669
02:43:30,180 --> 02:43:31,820
And we can see the impact that that

4670
02:43:31,820 --> 02:43:31,980
had.

4671
02:43:32,160 --> 02:43:33,420
And to be clear, they wanna get out

4672
02:43:33,420 --> 02:43:35,000
of the floodplain on paper.

4673
02:43:35,560 --> 02:43:37,200
But in reality, they're still in it.

4674
02:43:37,440 --> 02:43:38,880
Well, I can tell you why they're doing

4675
02:43:38,880 --> 02:43:39,360
this.

4676
02:43:40,340 --> 02:43:41,900
And we're seeing this ourselves.

4677
02:43:41,900 --> 02:43:46,660
Everybody here expects our home insurance to go

4678
02:43:46,660 --> 02:43:47,520
up again.

4679
02:43:47,880 --> 02:43:49,620
Since we've lived in this house, which is

4680
02:43:49,620 --> 02:43:52,400
four years, our home insurance has doubled.

4681
02:43:53,340 --> 02:43:54,640
Yeah, it's doing this everywhere.

4682
02:43:55,280 --> 02:43:57,920
And yes, being in the floodplain makes your

4683
02:43:57,920 --> 02:44:00,980
insurance go up, because it's an excuse to

4684
02:44:00,980 --> 02:44:02,120
jack up the insurance.

4685
02:44:02,260 --> 02:44:05,540
But at the same time, everyone's finagling it.

4686
02:44:05,620 --> 02:44:06,600
Let's listen to clip three.

4687
02:44:06,860 --> 02:44:08,840
This is happening not just at Camp Mystic,

4688
02:44:08,940 --> 02:44:11,020
but across the country.

4689
02:44:11,020 --> 02:44:14,180
More than two times as many Americans have

4690
02:44:14,180 --> 02:44:14,900
a flood risk.

4691
02:44:15,620 --> 02:44:17,960
Millions of Americans don't even know they have

4692
02:44:17,960 --> 02:44:18,540
a flood risk.

4693
02:44:18,640 --> 02:44:20,540
And that's because FEMA's maps have not been

4694
02:44:20,540 --> 02:44:22,080
updated with this new information.

4695
02:44:22,540 --> 02:44:23,860
Cuz you said this is also an issue

4696
02:44:23,860 --> 02:44:27,440
in North Carolina when Hurricane Helene moved through.

4697
02:44:27,440 --> 02:44:30,160
Absolutely, when we were in North Carolina covering

4698
02:44:30,160 --> 02:44:33,440
Helene, 98% of the people that were

4699
02:44:33,440 --> 02:44:36,580
affected by the storm were not in FEMA's

4700
02:44:36,580 --> 02:44:37,220
flood maps.

4701
02:44:37,220 --> 02:44:40,540
This means that not only if they're not

4702
02:44:40,540 --> 02:44:42,380
in the flood map, they may not have

4703
02:44:42,380 --> 02:44:44,620
been required to build in a way that

4704
02:44:44,620 --> 02:44:46,140
could have helped them survive the storm.

4705
02:44:46,360 --> 02:44:48,760
But also, they may not have belonged to

4706
02:44:48,760 --> 02:44:50,740
the National Flood Insurance Program, because there wasn't

4707
02:44:50,740 --> 02:44:52,320
a requirement for them to do so.

4708
02:44:52,540 --> 02:44:53,800
And so they're out of luck in that

4709
02:44:53,800 --> 02:44:55,320
way, too, when it comes to rebuilding.

4710
02:44:55,860 --> 02:44:57,980
What's it take to fix this legislation?

4711
02:44:58,980 --> 02:45:01,900
We found in our reporting that Congress needs

4712
02:45:01,900 --> 02:45:03,560
to fund this program.

4713
02:45:03,660 --> 02:45:05,320
They need to fund FEMA to do these

4714
02:45:05,320 --> 02:45:05,640
maps.

4715
02:45:05,640 --> 02:45:08,460
But there's a lot of pushback to having

4716
02:45:08,460 --> 02:45:09,580
these maps updated.

4717
02:45:10,180 --> 02:45:12,560
A lot of politicians don't wanna be the

4718
02:45:12,560 --> 02:45:16,160
ones that will increase flood insurance rates for

4719
02:45:16,160 --> 02:45:17,480
people across the country.

4720
02:45:17,940 --> 02:45:20,220
I'm missing an important detail here.

4721
02:45:20,920 --> 02:45:22,200
Maybe it's in the fourth clip.

4722
02:45:23,360 --> 02:45:26,180
Well, I wanna also mention something about, of

4723
02:45:26,180 --> 02:45:28,180
course, they're trying to twist this whole story

4724
02:45:28,180 --> 02:45:29,440
so it's Trump's fault.

4725
02:45:29,720 --> 02:45:31,320
How about climate change?

4726
02:45:31,380 --> 02:45:32,440
That's what I'm waiting for.

4727
02:45:32,560 --> 02:45:34,080
They never get to climate change.

4728
02:45:34,080 --> 02:45:37,160
That's really interesting in this, because PBS, mostly

4729
02:45:37,160 --> 02:45:38,280
they're targeting Trump.

4730
02:45:38,500 --> 02:45:41,900
Then it's like, well, FEMA has not done

4731
02:45:41,900 --> 02:45:43,480
this job well.

4732
02:45:44,320 --> 02:45:45,500
For a long time.

4733
02:45:45,920 --> 02:45:46,140
For a long time.

4734
02:45:46,140 --> 02:45:48,540
So all of a sudden now, because of

4735
02:45:48,540 --> 02:45:52,840
Trump, it's being, you call attention to it

4736
02:45:52,840 --> 02:45:53,540
because of Trump.

4737
02:45:53,720 --> 02:45:54,620
This is nonsense.

4738
02:45:54,840 --> 02:45:56,840
This whole report really bugs me for that

4739
02:45:56,840 --> 02:45:57,180
reason.

4740
02:45:57,280 --> 02:45:58,280
But here we go to the last of

4741
02:45:58,280 --> 02:45:58,380
it.

4742
02:45:58,560 --> 02:46:00,860
But we also found in our reporting that

4743
02:46:00,860 --> 02:46:03,820
the National Association of Home Builders, home developer,

4744
02:46:03,980 --> 02:46:06,900
lobby groups, even sometimes the National Association of

4745
02:46:06,900 --> 02:46:09,320
Realtors, are saying we don't wanna see these

4746
02:46:09,320 --> 02:46:11,040
maps necessarily updated.

4747
02:46:11,060 --> 02:46:14,140
Because they want to keep, they say, homes

4748
02:46:14,140 --> 02:46:14,600
affordable.

4749
02:46:14,840 --> 02:46:16,920
And now with FEMA in limbo under the

4750
02:46:16,920 --> 02:46:19,760
Trump administration, changes likely, unlikely?

4751
02:46:20,620 --> 02:46:23,660
The cuts to FEMA are making it difficult

4752
02:46:23,660 --> 02:46:26,440
from the insiders we've talked to to do

4753
02:46:26,440 --> 02:46:27,820
the work that they wanna do.

4754
02:46:27,820 --> 02:46:30,960
But it is also gonna undermine the agency's

4755
02:46:30,960 --> 02:46:33,960
ability to insist on flood map changes.

4756
02:46:34,180 --> 02:46:38,200
And also insist on resilient building due to

4757
02:46:38,200 --> 02:46:39,200
climate change.

4758
02:46:39,620 --> 02:46:41,720
They missed an opportunity there, I think.

4759
02:46:42,620 --> 02:46:46,060
I think they were targeting this too much.

4760
02:46:46,180 --> 02:46:47,700
They didn't wanna water it down.

4761
02:46:48,580 --> 02:46:52,640
Well, President Trump and First Lady Melania came

4762
02:46:52,640 --> 02:46:55,960
to Kerrville right down the road to visit.

4763
02:46:55,960 --> 02:47:00,240
And I will say that in general, everyone

4764
02:47:00,240 --> 02:47:04,760
is pretty happy with how, a lot of

4765
02:47:04,760 --> 02:47:05,620
it's local people.

4766
02:47:05,800 --> 02:47:07,900
I mean, there's, oh man, there must be

4767
02:47:07,900 --> 02:47:11,760
3,500, maybe 4,000 volunteers.

4768
02:47:12,120 --> 02:47:14,960
In fact, there's a meetup this coming Saturday

4769
02:47:14,960 --> 02:47:18,120
at Java Ranch, also known as Java Hut

4770
02:47:18,120 --> 02:47:19,380
on Main Street.

4771
02:47:19,500 --> 02:47:21,180
One of our producers is coming in from

4772
02:47:21,180 --> 02:47:23,460
the Netherlands to help with flood relief.

4773
02:47:24,660 --> 02:47:26,400
He's organizing a meetup there.

4774
02:47:26,840 --> 02:47:28,680
There's a lot of people who emailed me

4775
02:47:28,680 --> 02:47:30,300
and people say, I'm in Austin, I wanna

4776
02:47:30,300 --> 02:47:30,800
go help.

4777
02:47:30,960 --> 02:47:35,640
And so it's really been very heartwarming to

4778
02:47:35,640 --> 02:47:37,340
see how many people just jumped in to

4779
02:47:37,340 --> 02:47:37,580
help.

4780
02:47:38,440 --> 02:47:40,840
And here's a report about the president with

4781
02:47:40,840 --> 02:47:43,400
some nonsense in here, from the president, unfortunately.

4782
02:47:43,940 --> 02:47:46,820
US President Donald Trump was in Central Texas

4783
02:47:46,820 --> 02:47:49,800
on Friday to survey the damage from devastating

4784
02:47:49,800 --> 02:47:52,680
floods that killed at least 120 people.

4785
02:47:53,060 --> 02:47:55,840
Trump and First Lady Melania began their visit

4786
02:47:55,840 --> 02:47:58,620
in hard hit Kerrville, where they were briefed

4787
02:47:58,620 --> 02:47:59,620
by local officials.

4788
02:48:00,220 --> 02:48:02,440
Later during a town hall, the US president

4789
02:48:02,440 --> 02:48:05,300
dismissed questions about the federal response to the

4790
02:48:05,300 --> 02:48:08,540
floods and whether adequate warnings were provided.

4791
02:48:09,420 --> 02:48:11,620
Well, I think everyone did an incredible job

4792
02:48:11,620 --> 02:48:12,880
under the circumstances.

4793
02:48:13,380 --> 02:48:15,460
I guess Christy said a one in 500,

4794
02:48:15,640 --> 02:48:16,860
one in 1,000 years.

4795
02:48:17,000 --> 02:48:17,380
No.

4796
02:48:17,380 --> 02:48:17,480
No.

4797
02:48:17,620 --> 02:48:18,620
They told you to sit back and say,

4798
02:48:18,660 --> 02:48:20,700
oh, what could have happened here or there?

4799
02:48:21,100 --> 02:48:22,940
Maybe we could have done something differently.

4800
02:48:23,080 --> 02:48:26,220
This was a thing that has never happened

4801
02:48:26,220 --> 02:48:26,740
before.

4802
02:48:27,800 --> 02:48:28,800
And nobody's ever seen anything.

4803
02:48:28,920 --> 02:48:30,080
I've never seen anything like this.

4804
02:48:31,080 --> 02:48:34,400
Officials say some 3,400 people are involved

4805
02:48:34,400 --> 02:48:36,960
in the search for the 160 people that

4806
02:48:36,960 --> 02:48:37,580
are still missing.

4807
02:48:38,420 --> 02:48:40,920
The search for the missing continues.

4808
02:48:40,920 --> 02:48:42,780
The people that are doing it are unbelievable

4809
02:48:42,780 --> 02:48:43,360
people.

4810
02:48:43,520 --> 02:48:45,620
You couldn't get better people than this anywhere,

4811
02:48:45,820 --> 02:48:46,400
Christy, right?

4812
02:48:48,320 --> 02:48:50,680
Anywhere in the world, you couldn't get better

4813
02:48:50,680 --> 02:48:51,040
people.

4814
02:48:51,800 --> 02:48:53,900
And they're doing the job like I don't

4815
02:48:53,900 --> 02:48:55,220
think anybody else could, frankly.

4816
02:48:55,900 --> 02:48:56,940
And I wanna thank them.

4817
02:48:57,040 --> 02:48:59,000
I wanna thank all of these great first

4818
02:48:59,000 --> 02:49:01,660
responders who raced into very grave danger.

4819
02:49:02,600 --> 02:49:07,340
We have some people that were incredible.

4820
02:49:07,340 --> 02:49:10,500
The single Coast Guard rescue crew saved an

4821
02:49:10,500 --> 02:49:15,540
incredible 169 children at Camp Mystic, 169.

4822
02:49:16,100 --> 02:49:19,380
We're also taking historic action to ensure that

4823
02:49:19,380 --> 02:49:21,940
such a nightmare never happens again.

4824
02:49:22,020 --> 02:49:23,520
We're gonna look and see how can a

4825
02:49:23,520 --> 02:49:25,000
thing like this, they could say it's 100

4826
02:49:25,000 --> 02:49:25,340
years.

4827
02:49:25,460 --> 02:49:27,320
Somebody says it's a 500 year event.

4828
02:49:27,580 --> 02:49:27,680
No.

4829
02:49:28,000 --> 02:49:30,000
We're not gonna let a thing like this

4830
02:49:30,000 --> 02:49:32,580
happen again where it can wreak this kind

4831
02:49:32,580 --> 02:49:33,420
of devastation.

4832
02:49:33,540 --> 02:49:35,820
There's no stopping it, President Trump.

4833
02:49:35,820 --> 02:49:37,720
There's no stopping this.

4834
02:49:39,100 --> 02:49:41,420
One of the guys at our church, Mark

4835
02:49:41,420 --> 02:49:44,860
DeWeiss, he has equipment and he went down

4836
02:49:44,860 --> 02:49:45,120
there.

4837
02:49:45,420 --> 02:49:47,420
He says he uncovered 10 bodies in the

4838
02:49:47,420 --> 02:49:47,760
rubble.

4839
02:49:47,920 --> 02:49:48,700
He says it's a mess.

4840
02:49:49,660 --> 02:49:52,280
And of course, now, and I feel a

4841
02:49:52,280 --> 02:49:56,000
lot more what the people of Western North

4842
02:49:56,000 --> 02:49:58,760
Carolina, Asheville, what they all went through because

4843
02:49:58,760 --> 02:50:01,040
it disappears from the news, but it just

4844
02:50:01,040 --> 02:50:01,580
stays.

4845
02:50:02,080 --> 02:50:04,600
And it goes, this will be months, months

4846
02:50:04,600 --> 02:50:05,380
still of cleanup.

4847
02:50:05,380 --> 02:50:07,420
It's an unbelievable mess.

4848
02:50:08,100 --> 02:50:09,760
Video doesn't do it justice.

4849
02:50:11,480 --> 02:50:14,320
And yeah, it'll happen again in five to

4850
02:50:14,320 --> 02:50:14,840
10 years.

4851
02:50:15,060 --> 02:50:16,500
Yes, it happens over and over.

4852
02:50:16,840 --> 02:50:17,560
Yeah, it does.

4853
02:50:18,160 --> 02:50:19,220
But we should be a little smarter.

4854
02:50:19,220 --> 02:50:22,280
But by saying it's every thousand years, that

4855
02:50:22,280 --> 02:50:24,500
doesn't help at all.

4856
02:50:24,520 --> 02:50:26,180
No, it's a lie.

4857
02:50:26,900 --> 02:50:27,680
And it's a lie.

4858
02:50:28,460 --> 02:50:31,260
Can I just give you one little interesting

4859
02:50:31,260 --> 02:50:31,800
tidbit?

4860
02:50:32,400 --> 02:50:36,000
Speaking of churches, we have the new IRS,

4861
02:50:36,420 --> 02:50:37,800
which means much less people.

4862
02:50:38,040 --> 02:50:39,960
I'm not quite sure exactly what President Trump

4863
02:50:39,960 --> 02:50:40,280
did.

4864
02:50:41,060 --> 02:50:44,200
But Monday, the IRS said, and this is

4865
02:50:44,200 --> 02:50:48,080
very interesting because since the 1950s, I think,

4866
02:50:48,640 --> 02:50:51,020
this has not been legal due to the

4867
02:50:51,020 --> 02:50:51,980
Johnson Amendment.

4868
02:50:52,940 --> 02:50:55,400
The IRS said on Monday, churches and other

4869
02:50:55,400 --> 02:50:59,080
houses of worship can endorse political candidates to

4870
02:50:59,080 --> 02:51:02,560
their congregations, carving out an exemption in a

4871
02:51:02,560 --> 02:51:06,080
decades-old ban on political activity by tax

4872
02:51:06,080 --> 02:51:07,160
-exempt nonprofits.

4873
02:51:08,400 --> 02:51:11,400
They say, the communications from a house of

4874
02:51:11,400 --> 02:51:13,920
worship to its congregation in connection with religious

4875
02:51:13,920 --> 02:51:17,360
services through its usual channels of communication on

4876
02:51:17,360 --> 02:51:19,900
matters of faith do not run afoul of

4877
02:51:19,900 --> 02:51:22,280
the Johnson Amendment as properly interpreted.

4878
02:51:23,380 --> 02:51:24,140
That's a big deal.

4879
02:51:24,260 --> 02:51:27,500
1954 is when Johnson introduced that.

4880
02:51:28,860 --> 02:51:30,120
That's a big change.

4881
02:51:33,910 --> 02:51:35,450
It'll be interesting to see how it works

4882
02:51:35,450 --> 02:51:36,750
with the televangelists.

4883
02:51:37,550 --> 02:51:39,850
Well, I guess it comes down to what's

4884
02:51:39,850 --> 02:51:41,950
your normal mode of communication.

4885
02:51:42,710 --> 02:51:44,670
But they're pretty clear houses of worship.

4886
02:51:45,050 --> 02:51:45,710
So, I don't know.

4887
02:51:47,490 --> 02:51:51,050
Televangelists is a house of worship with 16

4888
02:51:51,050 --> 02:51:52,430
,000 people.

4889
02:51:52,990 --> 02:51:54,270
Man, some of these megachurches.

4890
02:51:54,350 --> 02:51:55,510
Audience of millions.

4891
02:51:55,910 --> 02:51:58,430
I don't see any reason why you couldn't

4892
02:51:58,430 --> 02:51:59,070
do that anyway.

4893
02:51:59,930 --> 02:52:01,170
Here's an interesting...

4894
02:52:01,170 --> 02:52:03,850
I like to do unreported news, in other

4895
02:52:03,850 --> 02:52:06,270
words, kind of scandalous little stories that just

4896
02:52:06,270 --> 02:52:07,850
never get played by anybody.

4897
02:52:08,030 --> 02:52:10,050
I do not understand the editors of this

4898
02:52:10,050 --> 02:52:11,550
country, why these things don't go up.

4899
02:52:12,070 --> 02:52:13,590
But I don't think you've heard this one.

4900
02:52:13,630 --> 02:52:16,510
This is the unreported United Nations corruption story.

4901
02:52:17,210 --> 02:52:20,430
The Trump administration today announcing sanctions on a

4902
02:52:20,430 --> 02:52:21,870
United Nations investigator.

4903
02:52:22,150 --> 02:52:24,790
Francisca Albanese is the UN Special Rapporteur for

4904
02:52:24,790 --> 02:52:26,330
the West Bank and Gaza.

4905
02:52:26,330 --> 02:52:30,250
Albanese has previously prompted the International Criminal Court

4906
02:52:30,250 --> 02:52:32,990
to take action against US and Israeli officials,

4907
02:52:33,190 --> 02:52:34,470
companies and executives.

4908
02:52:35,010 --> 02:52:37,110
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says her efforts

4909
02:52:37,110 --> 02:52:38,030
were illegitimate.

4910
02:52:38,450 --> 02:52:41,070
In recent weeks, Albanese has urged other countries

4911
02:52:41,070 --> 02:52:43,790
to pressure Israel, including through sanctions.

4912
02:52:44,430 --> 02:52:47,870
Rubio today wrote Albanese's campaign of political and

4913
02:52:47,870 --> 02:52:50,670
economic warfare against the United States and Israel

4914
02:52:50,670 --> 02:52:52,590
will no longer be tolerated.

4915
02:52:52,590 --> 02:52:55,210
Rubio added that the US will continue to

4916
02:52:55,210 --> 02:52:57,650
take necessary actions to respond to what he

4917
02:52:57,650 --> 02:52:59,710
calls lawfare against the US.

4918
02:53:00,190 --> 02:53:03,010
Rubio says that's to protect America's sovereignty and

4919
02:53:03,010 --> 02:53:03,970
that of its allies.

4920
02:53:06,930 --> 02:53:07,850
That is...

4921
02:53:07,850 --> 02:53:08,670
Corrupt UN official.

4922
02:53:09,670 --> 02:53:10,130
Gambling?

4923
02:53:10,570 --> 02:53:11,030
Amazing.

4924
02:53:12,490 --> 02:53:12,950
Yeah.

4925
02:53:13,150 --> 02:53:13,510
All right.

4926
02:53:13,850 --> 02:53:15,570
Let's wrap it up with some TikTok clips,

4927
02:53:15,770 --> 02:53:15,870
John.

4928
02:53:15,910 --> 02:53:16,390
Might as well.

4929
02:53:16,470 --> 02:53:17,490
I know you're chomping at the bit.

4930
02:53:17,510 --> 02:53:18,130
Oh, I don't know.

4931
02:53:18,210 --> 02:53:19,110
We could skip them.

4932
02:53:19,310 --> 02:53:20,410
Oh, do one.

4933
02:53:20,510 --> 02:53:21,150
Do your favorite.

4934
02:53:21,150 --> 02:53:22,590
Do your favorite one.

4935
02:53:22,610 --> 02:53:23,430
Well, what's the good one here?

4936
02:53:23,730 --> 02:53:25,430
Oh, well, they're all short.

4937
02:53:25,650 --> 02:53:25,750
None.

4938
02:53:26,110 --> 02:53:27,210
What's the good one?

4939
02:53:27,270 --> 02:53:28,670
Not a single one of them.

4940
02:53:28,930 --> 02:53:30,850
I think the Civil War one is good.

4941
02:53:30,950 --> 02:53:31,870
Okay, here we go.

4942
02:53:31,970 --> 02:53:33,570
Oh, MAGA, don't you understand?

4943
02:53:34,010 --> 02:53:36,890
If we have another Civil War, all the

4944
02:53:36,890 --> 02:53:41,010
blue states will control all the fresh water.

4945
02:53:42,270 --> 02:53:45,010
You guys don't think this shit through, do

4946
02:53:45,010 --> 02:53:45,290
you?

4947
02:53:48,310 --> 02:53:49,170
That's great.

4948
02:53:49,830 --> 02:53:50,730
Is that true?

4949
02:53:51,450 --> 02:53:51,970
No.

4950
02:53:52,510 --> 02:53:54,410
There's fresh water all over the place.

4951
02:53:55,290 --> 02:53:58,870
And the blue states control mostly, they're on

4952
02:53:58,870 --> 02:54:00,930
the coast, ocean water.

4953
02:54:01,150 --> 02:54:02,950
Yeah, I wish nobody uses the drink.

4954
02:54:04,070 --> 02:54:05,830
I mean, Washington state gets a lot of

4955
02:54:05,830 --> 02:54:06,370
fresh water.

4956
02:54:06,750 --> 02:54:08,990
California is a drought state.

4957
02:54:09,890 --> 02:54:10,730
Oh, man.

4958
02:54:10,870 --> 02:54:11,070
All right.

4959
02:54:11,090 --> 02:54:13,230
Would you please do the stolen land lady?

4960
02:54:13,310 --> 02:54:16,270
Because I saw you tweeting this on X

4961
02:54:16,270 --> 02:54:16,910
all week.

4962
02:54:16,970 --> 02:54:18,690
Oh, what's wrong with these people?

4963
02:54:18,810 --> 02:54:19,910
These people, what's your...

4964
02:54:19,910 --> 02:54:23,350
They're one chat GP session away from going

4965
02:54:23,350 --> 02:54:23,830
insane.

4966
02:54:23,970 --> 02:54:24,990
That's what I'll tell you.

4967
02:54:25,770 --> 02:54:27,750
Okay, this is the profane scold.

4968
02:54:27,870 --> 02:54:28,730
She's a scold.

4969
02:54:29,190 --> 02:54:31,110
I don't want to hear another white person

4970
02:54:31,110 --> 02:54:32,930
say the word illegal for the rest of

4971
02:54:32,930 --> 02:54:34,030
my goddamn life.

4972
02:54:34,110 --> 02:54:36,670
We are living on stolen land.

4973
02:54:37,110 --> 02:54:41,010
Our ancestors forcibly and violently seized this land

4974
02:54:41,010 --> 02:54:42,930
from the indigenous peoples who were living here

4975
02:54:42,930 --> 02:54:45,650
for generations before we ever showed up.

4976
02:54:45,750 --> 02:54:47,510
We do not get to call them illegal.

4977
02:54:48,150 --> 02:54:50,250
We don't own the fucking planet.

4978
02:54:50,550 --> 02:54:51,530
Nobody does.

4979
02:54:51,790 --> 02:54:52,370
Oh, brother.

4980
02:54:52,470 --> 02:54:55,470
We are evolved monkeys with opposable thumbs who

4981
02:54:55,470 --> 02:54:57,830
use them to write little monkey scribbles on

4982
02:54:57,830 --> 02:54:59,570
a slice of tree and we call it

4983
02:54:59,570 --> 02:55:00,350
a birth certificate.

4984
02:55:00,570 --> 02:55:02,290
I think, didn't you already play this one?

4985
02:55:02,550 --> 02:55:03,290
Is this old?

4986
02:55:03,590 --> 02:55:06,170
The opposable thumbs thing, is this a script?

4987
02:55:07,330 --> 02:55:08,090
It could be.

4988
02:55:08,330 --> 02:55:10,950
With our little monkey sounds, all of it

4989
02:55:10,950 --> 02:55:11,690
is made up.

4990
02:55:12,010 --> 02:55:13,050
None of it is real.

4991
02:55:13,130 --> 02:55:14,770
And it doesn't fucking matter.

4992
02:55:14,770 --> 02:55:16,950
And it's certainly not a valid reason to

4993
02:55:16,950 --> 02:55:19,870
rip a terrified screaming child away from his

4994
02:55:19,870 --> 02:55:21,130
weeping mother.

4995
02:55:21,410 --> 02:55:23,210
And I am tired of being made to

4996
02:55:23,210 --> 02:55:26,230
feel like I'm crazy for being angry about

4997
02:55:26,230 --> 02:55:26,690
this.

4998
02:55:27,890 --> 02:55:31,390
Capitalism is just narcissism as an economic system.

4999
02:55:31,730 --> 02:55:35,030
Imperialism is just narcissism as a foreign policy.

5000
02:55:35,310 --> 02:55:37,610
If the lion can't claim the safari for

5001
02:55:37,610 --> 02:55:40,350
himself and call the elephant illegal, then neither

5002
02:55:40,350 --> 02:55:41,910
the fuck can we.

5003
02:55:42,410 --> 02:55:44,510
I'm sorry I even asked for this one

5004
02:55:44,510 --> 02:55:44,870
now.

5005
02:55:45,270 --> 02:55:46,410
You requested it.

5006
02:55:46,550 --> 02:55:47,670
I mean, it was profane.

5007
02:55:47,730 --> 02:55:48,350
I did.

5008
02:55:48,670 --> 02:55:50,190
I did not like that one.

5009
02:55:50,190 --> 02:55:51,430
I should have put a not same for

5010
02:55:51,430 --> 02:55:51,630
what.

5011
02:55:51,790 --> 02:55:53,530
Yeah, now I have to mark the episode

5012
02:55:53,530 --> 02:55:54,350
as explicit.

5013
02:55:54,650 --> 02:55:55,310
Oh, thanks.

5014
02:55:55,870 --> 02:55:57,790
I'm going to show my salute by donating

5015
02:55:57,790 --> 02:55:58,710
to No Agenda.

5016
02:55:58,850 --> 02:56:00,770
Imagine all the people who could do that.

5017
02:56:00,950 --> 02:56:01,990
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

5018
02:56:09,050 --> 02:56:11,250
Just remember, you can find him on TikTok

5019
02:56:11,250 --> 02:56:14,670
or on x.com under the real Dvorak.

5020
02:56:15,090 --> 02:56:15,270
You can.

5021
02:56:15,550 --> 02:56:16,590
Yeah, the real Dvorak.

5022
02:56:16,750 --> 02:56:18,450
I've lost a whole bunch of people for

5023
02:56:18,450 --> 02:56:19,250
some unknown reason.

5024
02:56:19,250 --> 02:56:22,710
You are still at 100 plus, and I'm

5025
02:56:22,710 --> 02:56:25,210
still stuck at 98.8 thousand.

5026
02:56:25,210 --> 02:56:26,830
I cannot get over 100.

5027
02:56:27,270 --> 02:56:29,810
It's just because it's there's some there's their

5028
02:56:29,810 --> 02:56:30,510
limiters.

5029
02:56:30,630 --> 02:56:32,290
They I'm sure of it now.

5030
02:56:33,050 --> 02:56:33,850
Oh, yes.

5031
02:56:33,930 --> 02:56:36,630
I mean, even the Epstein stuff disappeared from

5032
02:56:36,630 --> 02:56:38,010
my timeline like overnight.

5033
02:56:38,230 --> 02:56:39,710
The thing is totally rigged.

5034
02:56:40,810 --> 02:56:41,530
Yeah, it's rigged.

5035
02:56:41,570 --> 02:56:42,310
Yeah, it's rigged.

5036
02:56:42,450 --> 02:56:46,330
Hey, John's going to tell us who supported

5037
02:56:46,330 --> 02:56:48,470
us above $50.

5038
02:56:48,770 --> 02:56:50,070
The rest of our list for today.

5039
02:56:50,270 --> 02:56:53,090
Yeah, starting with breakwater yacht maintenance.

5040
02:56:53,270 --> 02:56:53,810
There you go.

5041
02:56:53,810 --> 02:56:58,090
Now, there's a company breakwater yacht maintenance, and

5042
02:56:58,090 --> 02:57:00,630
they're in Mystic, Connecticut, where you would have

5043
02:57:00,630 --> 02:57:02,290
an operation like this, right?

5044
02:57:02,390 --> 02:57:02,950
I love it.

5045
02:57:04,030 --> 02:57:08,270
105.35. If you need some maintenance on

5046
02:57:08,270 --> 02:57:11,710
your yacht, we have your breakwater.

5047
02:57:15,090 --> 02:57:17,310
They can take care of your yacht and

5048
02:57:17,310 --> 02:57:19,310
also give you some orange juice.

5049
02:57:20,150 --> 02:57:22,070
Tony Pace in Houston, Texas.

5050
02:57:22,450 --> 02:57:25,810
100 MK Ultra Mark in the Bronx.

5051
02:57:25,950 --> 02:57:29,450
100 Kevin McLaughlin in Concord, North Carolina.

5052
02:57:29,550 --> 02:57:30,350
You know what he is.

5053
02:57:30,390 --> 02:57:31,790
He's the Archduke of Loon, the lover of

5054
02:57:31,790 --> 02:57:32,770
America and melons.

5055
02:57:32,990 --> 02:57:33,610
Oh, melons.

5056
02:57:33,930 --> 02:57:34,650
Yeah, melons.

5057
02:57:35,010 --> 02:57:39,110
8008 Rocket Boy in Brownsboro, Alabama.

5058
02:57:39,650 --> 02:57:43,050
69.35. That's a Gen X donation, which

5059
02:57:43,050 --> 02:57:46,230
is 65.80 plus fee.

5060
02:57:46,330 --> 02:57:49,790
65.80. 65.80. That means you're born

5061
02:57:49,790 --> 02:57:51,530
between 65 and 80, I guess.

5062
02:57:51,850 --> 02:57:52,650
Yeah, plus fee.

5063
02:57:52,650 --> 02:57:53,030
That makes sense.

5064
02:57:53,190 --> 02:57:53,310
Okay.

5065
02:57:53,610 --> 02:57:54,770
It's also a birthday call out.

5066
02:57:54,790 --> 02:57:55,490
He's got it for himself.

5067
02:57:55,630 --> 02:57:57,510
Dad, Daymarita, Sparks, Nevada.

5068
02:57:57,870 --> 02:58:01,570
67.57. Jennifer Follow Will.

5069
02:58:01,890 --> 02:58:04,930
Follow Will in Peoria, Arizona.

5070
02:58:05,270 --> 02:58:05,610
Yes.

5071
02:58:05,930 --> 02:58:09,150
65.80. Another call out, a Gen X

5072
02:58:09,150 --> 02:58:09,630
donation.

5073
02:58:10,090 --> 02:58:12,430
Did you write this somewhere that this 65

5074
02:58:12,430 --> 02:58:13,470
.80 has popped up?

5075
02:58:13,530 --> 02:58:14,970
This is new numerology to me.

5076
02:58:15,030 --> 02:58:15,550
I like it.

5077
02:58:16,630 --> 02:58:17,130
No.

5078
02:58:17,370 --> 02:58:18,090
I like it.

5079
02:58:18,090 --> 02:58:19,630
65.80. That's a good one.

5080
02:58:20,030 --> 02:58:21,130
65.80 for your Gen X.

5081
02:58:21,290 --> 02:58:23,190
I have no idea where this came from.

5082
02:58:23,370 --> 02:58:25,310
I didn't come up with it.

5083
02:58:25,410 --> 02:58:25,830
I like it.

5084
02:58:25,830 --> 02:58:27,030
And now we have almost two in a

5085
02:58:27,030 --> 02:58:28,410
row, except for Daymarita in the middle.

5086
02:58:28,750 --> 02:58:29,010
Yep.

5087
02:58:30,290 --> 02:58:30,690
Sandwich.

5088
02:58:33,190 --> 02:58:34,750
Jennifer's got a birthday.

5089
02:58:35,270 --> 02:58:35,430
Yep.

5090
02:58:35,770 --> 02:58:39,090
Christopher Dechter, 56.78. We're going to push

5091
02:58:39,090 --> 02:58:39,370
this.

5092
02:58:39,670 --> 02:58:40,330
I like this.

5093
02:58:40,430 --> 02:58:42,370
We're going to push this 65.80. 65

5094
02:58:42,370 --> 02:58:42,910
.80, yeah.

5095
02:58:44,730 --> 02:58:49,670
Christopher Dechter, 56.78. Lydia Terry in Rochester,

5096
02:58:50,070 --> 02:58:55,770
New Hampshire, 56.23. Holly Taylor in Coeur

5097
02:58:55,770 --> 02:58:59,210
d'Alene, Idaho, 52.72. And that's a

5098
02:58:59,210 --> 02:59:01,670
happy birthday to her smoking hot boyfriend, Jeff.

5099
02:59:02,770 --> 02:59:04,630
Mike Moon in Athens, Georgia.

5100
02:59:04,790 --> 02:59:05,930
Oh, holy mackerel.

5101
02:59:06,030 --> 02:59:07,090
We're at the 50s already?

5102
02:59:07,230 --> 02:59:08,010
Yes, we are.

5103
02:59:08,030 --> 02:59:09,690
So we had a total of 28 donations

5104
02:59:09,690 --> 02:59:10,130
today?

5105
02:59:10,370 --> 02:59:10,630
Yeah.

5106
02:59:11,750 --> 02:59:12,630
That stinks.

5107
02:59:13,110 --> 02:59:14,130
That's what it is.

5108
02:59:14,350 --> 02:59:15,030
You know why?

5109
02:59:15,720 --> 02:59:20,370
It's that NTD clips about Falun Gong.

5110
02:59:20,950 --> 02:59:22,210
Well, that didn't help.

5111
02:59:22,390 --> 02:59:23,210
Did not help, no.

5112
02:59:23,350 --> 02:59:25,150
Mike Moon in Athens, Georgia.

5113
02:59:25,330 --> 02:59:27,330
Tim DelVecchio in Blandon, Pennsylvania.

5114
02:59:27,590 --> 02:59:29,470
Gary Mao in Woodland Hills, California.

5115
02:59:30,030 --> 02:59:33,350
Dame Patricia Worthington, our regular in Miami, Florida.

5116
02:59:34,210 --> 02:59:36,710
Brandon Savoie in Port Orchard, Washington.

5117
02:59:37,010 --> 02:59:38,750
Dame Knight in Edmonds, Washington.

5118
02:59:38,750 --> 02:59:42,610
Last on the list is Travis Fierstein in

5119
02:59:42,610 --> 02:59:45,670
Costa Mesa, California.

5120
02:59:48,090 --> 02:59:51,130
And he has a note saying 25 June,

5121
02:59:51,230 --> 02:59:51,650
July.

5122
02:59:52,350 --> 02:59:54,290
Okay, maybe code for something.

5123
02:59:54,450 --> 02:59:55,110
I should read it out.

5124
02:59:55,510 --> 02:59:57,810
All right, that's our group of well-wishers

5125
02:59:57,810 --> 03:00:00,610
and contributors to show, 1781.

5126
03:00:01,090 --> 03:00:02,490
And thank you to those who came in

5127
03:00:02,490 --> 03:00:04,610
under $50 for reasons of anonymity.

5128
03:00:04,690 --> 03:00:06,550
We'll never mess it up, and we'll never

5129
03:00:06,550 --> 03:00:07,910
read anything under the 50.

5130
03:00:07,910 --> 03:00:10,130
We see you, 49.99s. And of course,

5131
03:00:10,310 --> 03:00:13,470
our sustaining donors who have decided to go

5132
03:00:13,470 --> 03:00:16,270
either on a Knight or Dame layaway program

5133
03:00:16,270 --> 03:00:18,310
or just like to support us with any

5134
03:00:18,310 --> 03:00:19,830
random amount, any frequency.

5135
03:00:20,010 --> 03:00:21,990
You can do all of that at noagendadonations

5136
03:00:21,990 --> 03:00:22,530
.com.

5137
03:00:22,750 --> 03:00:23,930
Anything is appreciated.

5138
03:00:24,190 --> 03:00:25,670
All you have to do is just send

5139
03:00:25,670 --> 03:00:27,730
back the value you perceive that you got

5140
03:00:27,730 --> 03:00:28,270
from the show.

5141
03:00:28,330 --> 03:00:28,990
It's that simple.

5142
03:00:29,810 --> 03:00:30,770
Noagendadonations.com.

5143
03:00:34,350 --> 03:00:37,730
Also, kind of a short list.

5144
03:00:37,970 --> 03:00:41,310
Jennifer Followill, with her sister, Julie Knoll, a

5145
03:00:41,310 --> 03:00:42,770
very happy 45th.

5146
03:00:42,850 --> 03:00:44,330
And she'll be celebrating tomorrow.

5147
03:00:44,770 --> 03:00:47,090
Rocket Boy, also celebrating his birthday tomorrow.

5148
03:00:47,230 --> 03:00:49,630
And Holly Taylor, happy birthday to her smoking

5149
03:00:49,630 --> 03:00:50,810
hot boyfriend, Jeff.

5150
03:00:50,890 --> 03:00:52,410
He celebrates on the 15th.

5151
03:00:52,410 --> 03:00:54,210
Happy birthday from everybody here at the best

5152
03:00:54,210 --> 03:00:55,770
podcast in the universe.

5153
03:00:55,770 --> 03:00:57,850
It's your birthday, yeah!

5154
03:00:57,890 --> 03:01:00,530
Our top two executive producers today also received

5155
03:01:00,530 --> 03:01:03,350
PhDs, Mike Musgrave and Thomas Flanagan.

5156
03:01:03,510 --> 03:01:05,630
Both of you go to noagenderings.com.

5157
03:01:06,430 --> 03:01:08,150
And please let us know if you want

5158
03:01:08,150 --> 03:01:10,190
your knight ring as well, if you want

5159
03:01:10,190 --> 03:01:11,970
your official knighting, and send us a note

5160
03:01:11,970 --> 03:01:12,570
with your name.

5161
03:01:13,010 --> 03:01:14,490
You might as well put that on the

5162
03:01:14,490 --> 03:01:17,090
form there when you send us in what

5163
03:01:17,090 --> 03:01:19,570
you want on your certificate and where you'd

5164
03:01:19,570 --> 03:01:20,390
like it sent to.

5165
03:01:20,470 --> 03:01:21,750
We are happy to oblige.

5166
03:01:21,750 --> 03:01:25,490
Congratulations with these freshly minted PhDs in media

5167
03:01:25,490 --> 03:01:26,390
deconstruction.

5168
03:01:30,950 --> 03:01:36,930
Well, as I mentioned, we'll have an impromptu

5169
03:01:36,930 --> 03:01:38,350
meetup this coming Saturday.

5170
03:01:38,630 --> 03:01:41,370
Everett Bopp will come in from the Netherlands.

5171
03:01:41,470 --> 03:01:42,910
He's actually in Texas already.

5172
03:01:43,050 --> 03:01:44,370
And he is helping out with the cleanup

5173
03:01:44,370 --> 03:01:47,330
efforts and, I guess, some rescue efforts still,

5174
03:01:47,410 --> 03:01:50,550
or search efforts in Kerr County.

5175
03:01:50,550 --> 03:01:53,790
He'll be at Java Ranch Saturday between 2

5176
03:01:53,790 --> 03:01:54,290
to 5.

5177
03:01:54,330 --> 03:01:55,590
And I will definitely stop by.

5178
03:01:55,650 --> 03:01:58,190
I'm also asking Willie to stop by so

5179
03:01:58,190 --> 03:01:59,970
you can see the famous Willie the Chess

5180
03:01:59,970 --> 03:02:00,350
Master.

5181
03:02:01,410 --> 03:02:03,470
We have a meetup report from Victoria.

5182
03:02:03,590 --> 03:02:06,470
So welcome to Taverns here at the Lighthouse

5183
03:02:06,470 --> 03:02:07,250
Brewery.

5184
03:02:07,450 --> 03:02:09,270
I am here with...

5185
03:02:09,270 --> 03:02:09,870
Winston Smith.

5186
03:02:10,190 --> 03:02:10,410
Or Tim.

5187
03:02:10,890 --> 03:02:11,490
Or Tim.

5188
03:02:11,670 --> 03:02:14,830
And we're here for the Victoria meetup.

5189
03:02:15,150 --> 03:02:18,070
And this meetup will happen again in two

5190
03:02:18,070 --> 03:02:18,370
weeks.

5191
03:02:18,450 --> 03:02:19,510
So we want to get a few more

5192
03:02:19,510 --> 03:02:20,270
people out here.

5193
03:02:20,270 --> 03:02:21,570
Think about it.

5194
03:02:21,630 --> 03:02:23,170
In two weeks time, we will be out

5195
03:02:23,170 --> 03:02:26,430
here for the No Agenda meetup.

5196
03:02:31,170 --> 03:02:32,870
Noagendameetups.com is where you can find all

5197
03:02:32,870 --> 03:02:33,410
of the meetups.

5198
03:02:33,490 --> 03:02:35,010
We do have one taking place today.

5199
03:02:35,150 --> 03:02:36,270
It's underway as we speak.

5200
03:02:36,410 --> 03:02:38,430
Evergreen Brewing in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.

5201
03:02:39,170 --> 03:02:40,310

03:02:44,610 --> 03:02:45,610

Many more meetups happening throughout the dog days

5212
03:02:58,010 --> 03:02:59,150
of summer which are coming up.

5213
03:02:59,570 --> 03:03:00,990
If you'd like to know where, go to

5214
03:03:00,990 --> 03:03:02,270
noagendameetups.com.

5215
03:03:02,350 --> 03:03:04,330
We've got a fantastic calendar there.

5216
03:03:04,670 --> 03:03:05,930
You can search by location.

5217
03:03:06,090 --> 03:03:07,090
You can search by date.

5218
03:03:07,310 --> 03:03:09,050
And if you can't find something that is

5219
03:03:09,050 --> 03:03:10,710
near you, why don't you go ahead and

5220
03:03:10,710 --> 03:03:11,630
start one yourself?

5221
03:03:11,730 --> 03:03:12,610
It's easy.

5222
03:03:19,790 --> 03:03:22,370
You wanna be where you won't be.

5223
03:03:22,610 --> 03:03:24,430
Triggered on hell's flame.

5224
03:03:25,170 --> 03:03:28,390
You wanna be where everybody feels the same.

5225
03:03:30,750 --> 03:03:32,170
It's like a party.

5226
03:03:32,830 --> 03:03:34,530
So I got a lot of ISOs, but

5227
03:03:34,530 --> 03:03:36,110
I think I'm just going to try my

5228
03:03:36,110 --> 03:03:38,190
best ones on you and see if you

5229
03:03:38,190 --> 03:03:38,930
like those.

5230
03:03:39,350 --> 03:03:40,750
Because people are now, they're mad.

5231
03:03:40,850 --> 03:03:42,170
They're like, eh, we got to do some

5232
03:03:42,170 --> 03:03:42,530
ISOs.

5233
03:03:42,530 --> 03:03:43,710
We got to get John out of the

5234
03:03:43,710 --> 03:03:44,210
isosphere.

5235
03:03:44,450 --> 03:03:45,510
It's no good what John's doing.

5236
03:03:45,690 --> 03:03:46,610
The isosphere.

5237
03:03:47,010 --> 03:03:47,450
Isosphere.

5238
03:03:47,650 --> 03:03:48,290
Here's my first.

5239
03:03:48,290 --> 03:03:49,410
It's that good.

5240
03:03:52,930 --> 03:03:54,530
I kind of like that one.

5241
03:03:55,190 --> 03:03:57,930
And that was obviously an edited ISO.

5242
03:03:58,010 --> 03:03:58,530
And this one.

5243
03:03:58,730 --> 03:04:00,490
There was a whole lot of value in

5244
03:04:00,490 --> 03:04:00,690
there.

5245
03:04:01,150 --> 03:04:02,990
Nah, come on.

5246
03:04:03,130 --> 03:04:05,530
You know, if you're gonna, editing the ISO.

5247
03:04:05,830 --> 03:04:06,870
I didn't edit the ISO.

5248
03:04:06,970 --> 03:04:09,510
Is no different than doing an AI ISO,

5249
03:04:09,730 --> 03:04:10,330
it seems to me.

5250
03:04:10,550 --> 03:04:12,630
Well, I mean, you didn't like that.

5251
03:04:12,770 --> 03:04:13,850
That one wasn't edited.

5252
03:04:14,030 --> 03:04:15,870
There was a whole lot of value in

5253
03:04:15,870 --> 03:04:15,970
there.

5254
03:04:15,970 --> 03:04:16,330
No, I didn't.

5255
03:04:16,330 --> 03:04:17,250
That was okay.

5256
03:04:17,250 --> 03:04:19,350
But I actually liked the edited one better.

5257
03:04:19,530 --> 03:04:20,450
Oh, you did?

5258
03:04:21,290 --> 03:04:22,890
Yeah, we could have a funny laugh at

5259
03:04:22,890 --> 03:04:23,250
the end.

5260
03:04:24,830 --> 03:04:25,230
Yeah.

5261
03:04:26,530 --> 03:04:27,630
I'll leave it at those.

5262
03:04:27,790 --> 03:04:28,650
I want to give you two.

5263
03:04:28,970 --> 03:04:29,250
That's it.

5264
03:04:29,370 --> 03:04:29,890
Well, okay.

5265
03:04:29,910 --> 03:04:30,730
You want to hear more?

5266
03:04:30,790 --> 03:04:31,310
I got more.

5267
03:04:31,430 --> 03:04:31,850
No problem.

5268
03:04:31,930 --> 03:04:32,430
Here's more.

5269
03:04:32,670 --> 03:04:33,110
Oh my.

5270
03:04:33,370 --> 03:04:34,130
Good show, boys.

5271
03:04:34,410 --> 03:04:35,270
I need a cigarette.

5272
03:04:36,470 --> 03:04:37,570
That sounds like AI.

5273
03:04:38,310 --> 03:04:39,690
I didn't do that one.

5274
03:04:40,250 --> 03:04:41,430
Let's see you get this one.

5275
03:04:41,490 --> 03:04:43,670
Are we still talking about that?

5276
03:04:44,570 --> 03:04:46,250
I don't know if that's AI or not.

5277
03:04:46,250 --> 03:04:47,510
I think it's AI.

5278
03:04:47,810 --> 03:04:48,050
Could be.

5279
03:04:48,190 --> 03:04:48,790
Bye-bye.

5280
03:04:50,650 --> 03:04:51,730
Bye-bye.

5281
03:04:52,190 --> 03:04:53,130
That's good old Alex.

5282
03:04:53,290 --> 03:04:53,950
We have this one.

5283
03:04:53,990 --> 03:04:54,450
Hello.

5284
03:04:57,250 --> 03:04:59,730
What the heck is going on?

5285
03:05:00,690 --> 03:05:01,910
That's what I got.

5286
03:05:02,270 --> 03:05:02,470
Oh, wait.

5287
03:05:02,630 --> 03:05:03,670
One more.

5288
03:05:04,590 --> 03:05:06,210
Powered by AI.

5289
03:05:06,550 --> 03:05:07,870
Thanks to John.

5290
03:05:11,570 --> 03:05:13,130
Let's hear that one again.

5291
03:05:13,310 --> 03:05:14,890
Powered by AI.

5292
03:05:14,890 --> 03:05:16,590
Thanks to John.

5293
03:05:18,770 --> 03:05:19,750
That's a good one.

5294
03:05:19,830 --> 03:05:20,950
I kind of like that one.

5295
03:05:21,110 --> 03:05:21,450
All right.

5296
03:05:21,530 --> 03:05:22,250
What do you have?

5297
03:05:22,290 --> 03:05:23,890
So I do have an AI one.

5298
03:05:24,110 --> 03:05:26,570
Actually, they're both AI, but I try to

5299
03:05:26,570 --> 03:05:27,370
be a little different.

5300
03:05:27,590 --> 03:05:30,110
The one I like is the best.

5301
03:05:30,470 --> 03:05:31,530
Best show in five years.

5302
03:05:34,310 --> 03:05:36,090
That's not as good as the Alex one.

5303
03:05:39,190 --> 03:05:40,370
Then there's this one.

5304
03:05:40,630 --> 03:05:41,510
The show made me fart.

5305
03:05:42,190 --> 03:05:45,810
No, you're really searching now.

5306
03:05:46,710 --> 03:05:47,590
I think...

5307
03:05:47,590 --> 03:05:48,190
Bye-bye.

5308
03:05:48,350 --> 03:05:49,230
I think that's...

5309
03:05:49,230 --> 03:05:50,190
Alex is just...

5310
03:05:50,190 --> 03:05:50,730
He's always a winner.

5311
03:05:50,730 --> 03:05:52,010
I think you have to go with that.

5312
03:05:52,010 --> 03:05:52,770
No doubt about it.

5313
03:05:52,790 --> 03:05:55,990
Anyone who has polyps and makes a living

5314
03:05:55,990 --> 03:05:57,730
out of it, I'm all in.

5315
03:06:06,510 --> 03:06:07,590
There we go.

5316
03:06:07,650 --> 03:06:09,110
Time for John's tip of the day, everybody.

5317
03:06:09,110 --> 03:06:13,130
Yeah, this is a follow-up tip to

5318
03:06:13,130 --> 03:06:15,170
the last one for the blackout folk.

5319
03:06:16,150 --> 03:06:18,010
This is a really cool product.

5320
03:06:18,890 --> 03:06:19,690
And these are called...

5321
03:06:19,690 --> 03:06:20,670
You can look them up on Amazon.

5322
03:06:20,830 --> 03:06:22,050
There's a bunch of different people that make

5323
03:06:22,050 --> 03:06:22,150
them.

5324
03:06:22,170 --> 03:06:23,790
They're out of China, obviously.

5325
03:06:24,490 --> 03:06:25,010
There's nobody...

5326
03:06:25,010 --> 03:06:27,190
In fact, mine's particularly out of China because

5327
03:06:27,190 --> 03:06:29,930
they can't even put the wording right.

5328
03:06:30,350 --> 03:06:34,550
But these are emergency use light bulbs.

5329
03:06:35,830 --> 03:06:38,790
And they are like a regular LED light

5330
03:06:38,790 --> 03:06:41,650
bulb They look exactly the same, except they

5331
03:06:41,650 --> 03:06:44,290
have a battery, a chargeable battery inside.

5332
03:06:44,430 --> 03:06:46,610
And so if the power goes out, the

5333
03:06:46,610 --> 03:06:48,970
circuit stays connected and the light bulb stays

5334
03:06:48,970 --> 03:06:49,350
lit.

5335
03:06:50,370 --> 03:06:52,190
Oh, that's interesting.

5336
03:06:53,190 --> 03:06:54,110
Yeah, if you...

5337
03:06:54,110 --> 03:06:55,030
In fact, if you take a piece of

5338
03:06:55,030 --> 03:06:56,690
aluminum foil and put it over the bottom,

5339
03:06:56,790 --> 03:06:58,190
the connections at the bottom, and they also

5340
03:06:58,190 --> 03:06:59,610
have these little connectors you can put on

5341
03:06:59,610 --> 03:07:00,810
the bottom with a little click on it,

5342
03:07:00,830 --> 03:07:02,090
a little switch, you can click them on

5343
03:07:02,090 --> 03:07:02,470
and off.

5344
03:07:03,570 --> 03:07:05,230
The thing stays lit.

5345
03:07:05,490 --> 03:07:07,030
So when the power goes off, then you

5346
03:07:07,030 --> 03:07:08,350
need just one in...

5347
03:07:08,350 --> 03:07:10,550
I'd say one in any room or one

5348
03:07:10,550 --> 03:07:11,570
in a room that you're in a lot

5349
03:07:11,570 --> 03:07:12,570
if you're going to be worried about having

5350
03:07:12,570 --> 03:07:14,210
to do a wall crawl to get to

5351
03:07:14,210 --> 03:07:15,610
a flashlight, which I had to do.

5352
03:07:15,790 --> 03:07:17,510
Is this another Mimi tip of the day

5353
03:07:17,510 --> 03:07:19,170
where she's so worried about you and the

5354
03:07:19,170 --> 03:07:19,870
power outage?

5355
03:07:20,130 --> 03:07:22,310
Yes, Mimi got me the bulbs and she

5356
03:07:22,310 --> 03:07:24,650
got me the thing from last show because

5357
03:07:24,650 --> 03:07:26,310
she's worried sick that I'm going to...

5358
03:07:26,310 --> 03:07:27,530
I don't know what she's worried about.

5359
03:07:27,550 --> 03:07:28,750
You're going to die in a...

5360
03:07:28,750 --> 03:07:29,430
I'm going to die.

5361
03:07:29,530 --> 03:07:30,990
I can't find the flashlight.

5362
03:07:33,550 --> 03:07:34,910
So open a window.

5363
03:07:34,910 --> 03:07:39,330
So they come, they're cheap, just like this

5364
03:07:39,330 --> 03:07:42,570
six-pack of bull racket dit.

5365
03:07:43,230 --> 03:07:44,450
That's a stupid name.

5366
03:07:45,590 --> 03:07:47,190
There was like 20 bucks for six of

5367
03:07:47,190 --> 03:07:47,330
them.

5368
03:07:48,150 --> 03:07:49,090
But there's...

5369
03:07:49,090 --> 03:07:50,870
Hey, can you put this in your mouth

5370
03:07:50,870 --> 03:07:51,830
like Uncle Fester?

5371
03:07:52,230 --> 03:07:53,330
Yes, you could.

5372
03:07:53,950 --> 03:07:56,730
And you'd put it in your mouth and

5373
03:07:56,730 --> 03:07:59,290
then you'd use your tongue and you'd complete

5374
03:07:59,290 --> 03:08:04,250
the circuit on the bulb screw and it

5375
03:08:04,250 --> 03:08:04,990
would light it up.

5376
03:08:05,390 --> 03:08:07,210
I never thought of that, but I don't

5377
03:08:07,210 --> 03:08:08,950
know if you're going to get a jolt.

5378
03:08:09,270 --> 03:08:09,910
Here's an idea.

5379
03:08:10,870 --> 03:08:14,310
On your next hit on the Chanel Ryan

5380
03:08:14,310 --> 03:08:16,090
show, you just do that at the end.

5381
03:08:16,250 --> 03:08:18,130
Just pop that bulb in and make it...

5382
03:08:18,130 --> 03:08:18,570
Come on.

5383
03:08:18,750 --> 03:08:19,610
Come on, man.

5384
03:08:19,630 --> 03:08:20,570
That'd be fantastic.

5385
03:08:20,770 --> 03:08:21,270
Come on, John.

5386
03:08:21,270 --> 03:08:24,130
Yeah, I would get some notoriety, that's for

5387
03:08:24,130 --> 03:08:24,250
sure.

5388
03:08:24,290 --> 03:08:26,470
Hey, Chanel, watch this.

5389
03:08:26,590 --> 03:08:27,810
And then just pop it in your mouth.

5390
03:08:29,890 --> 03:08:31,770
Now you're talking a hit, everybody.

5391
03:08:31,770 --> 03:08:33,110
That is John's tip of the day.

5392
03:08:33,210 --> 03:08:35,550
Find them all at tipoftheday.net.

5393
03:08:40,090 --> 03:08:46,930
Oh, man.

5394
03:08:48,590 --> 03:08:51,350
We've got ideas a dozen a minute.

5395
03:08:51,650 --> 03:08:52,910
We just got it all for you.

5396
03:08:54,870 --> 03:08:57,790
And that does conclude our broadcast day from

5397
03:08:57,790 --> 03:09:00,650
a still very wet Hill Country, Texas.

5398
03:09:02,210 --> 03:09:03,830
Thank you all for tuning in.

5399
03:09:03,930 --> 03:09:04,590
Thank you for listening.

5400
03:09:04,750 --> 03:09:05,950
Thank you for supporting us.

03:09:10,190 --> 03:09:12,350
We have end of show mixes from Sound

5403
03:09:12,350 --> 03:09:13,030
Guy Steve.

5404
03:09:13,130 --> 03:09:14,130
Love to see him back.

5405
03:09:14,470 --> 03:09:16,310
Oystein Berger checks in.

5406
03:09:17,390 --> 03:09:20,050
Oystein has his seasons mixed up.

5407
03:09:20,410 --> 03:09:23,790
He's got a Christmas tune, but it's all

5408
03:09:23,790 --> 03:09:24,230
original.

5409
03:09:24,390 --> 03:09:26,430
No AI in these end of show mixes.

5410
03:09:26,590 --> 03:09:27,790
And also Jason Lewis.

5411
03:09:28,350 --> 03:09:30,010
It's all Epstein-oriented.

5412
03:09:30,190 --> 03:09:31,130
You will love it.

5413
03:09:31,770 --> 03:09:36,070
Coming up next on noagendastream.com, trollroom.io

5414
03:09:36,070 --> 03:09:38,710
is Nick the Rat, speaking of the devil.

5415
03:09:39,270 --> 03:09:41,810
And this is his summer's douche episode from

5416
03:09:41,810 --> 03:09:43,110
the sewers of New York City.

5417
03:09:43,630 --> 03:09:44,930
Coming to you from the heart of the

5418
03:09:44,930 --> 03:09:45,830
Texas Hill Country.

5419
03:09:47,010 --> 03:09:48,610
Right here in Fredericksburg.

5420
03:09:48,750 --> 03:09:49,730
In the morning, everybody.

5421
03:09:49,970 --> 03:09:50,710
I'm Adam Curry.

5422
03:09:50,930 --> 03:09:53,730
Here from northern Silicon Valley, where we're encouraging

5423
03:09:53,730 --> 03:09:57,950
you to go to noagendadonations.com and help

5424
03:09:57,950 --> 03:09:58,310
us out.

5425
03:09:58,390 --> 03:09:58,890
I'm John C.

5426
03:09:58,930 --> 03:09:59,250
Dvorak.

5427
03:09:59,330 --> 03:10:00,410
We'll see you all on Thursday.

5428
03:10:00,410 --> 03:10:04,970
Until then, adios pofos, hui hui, and such.

5429
03:10:05,870 --> 03:10:08,730
The golden age of America begins right now.

5430
03:10:09,250 --> 03:10:11,750
Yet it's the biggest bill ever signed of

5431
03:10:11,750 --> 03:10:12,250
its kind.

5432
03:10:12,590 --> 03:10:15,950
Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.

5433
03:10:15,950 --> 03:10:17,050
Sticking it to the libs.

5434
03:10:17,370 --> 03:10:18,490
Sticking it to the media.

5435
03:10:18,910 --> 03:10:20,010
Sticking it to the elite.

5436
03:10:20,330 --> 03:10:22,590
Who is in charge?

5437
03:10:23,150 --> 03:10:25,430
We've always known that he, at his hold

5438
03:10:25,430 --> 03:10:27,150
on the Republican Party, is firm.

5439
03:10:27,530 --> 03:10:29,810
Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice

5440
03:10:29,810 --> 03:10:32,070
against his political enemies, and we are getting

5441
03:10:32,070 --> 03:10:35,010
more and more proof every single day.

5442
03:10:35,190 --> 03:10:38,050
He now has total control of Washington.

5443
03:10:38,210 --> 03:10:40,290
President Trump was visibly annoyed after a New

5444
03:10:40,290 --> 03:10:42,750
York Post reporter asked about Jeffrey Epstein during

5445
03:10:42,750 --> 03:10:43,570
a cabinet meeting.

5446
03:10:43,870 --> 03:10:45,490
He says he's been advised to be nice.

5447
03:10:45,630 --> 03:10:46,630
He says he doesn't care.

5448
03:10:47,410 --> 03:10:48,630
This is the kind of guy you like

5449
03:10:48,630 --> 03:10:49,710
to smack in the ass.

5450
03:10:50,030 --> 03:10:52,230
Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?

5451
03:10:52,510 --> 03:10:54,530
You better watch out.

5452
03:10:54,770 --> 03:10:56,490
You better not cry.

5453
03:10:56,790 --> 03:10:58,470
Better get dressed.

5454
03:10:58,470 --> 03:11:00,510
I'm telling you why.

5455
03:11:01,010 --> 03:11:06,050
Prince Andrew is coming to town.

5456
03:11:06,690 --> 03:11:09,590
He was on the list and they checked

5457
03:11:09,590 --> 03:11:12,510
it twice and then it was gone.

5458
03:11:12,670 --> 03:11:14,570
Oh, what a surprise.

5459
03:11:15,150 --> 03:11:19,350
Epstein's client list is no more.

5460
03:11:20,510 --> 03:11:23,610
They saw when he was sleeping.

5461
03:11:24,470 --> 03:11:27,850
They knew when he was awake.

5462
03:11:28,410 --> 03:11:32,270
And he did really kill himself.

5463
03:11:32,510 --> 03:11:35,730
So shut up for goodness sake.

5464
03:11:36,490 --> 03:11:38,510
Oh, you better watch out.

5465
03:11:38,790 --> 03:11:40,490
You better not cry.

5466
03:11:40,770 --> 03:11:42,450
Better hide your kids.

5467
03:11:42,630 --> 03:11:44,510
I'm telling you why.

5468
03:11:45,070 --> 03:11:50,410
Gee, Slane is coming to town.

5469
03:12:03,190 --> 03:12:08,290
Even though Epstein's passed on now, he still

5470
03:12:08,290 --> 03:12:10,950
don't know the names.

5471
03:12:15,310 --> 03:12:18,350
He's on the list on bondage.

5472
03:12:18,470 --> 03:12:22,830
There's no one close to know him.

5473
03:12:28,470 --> 03:12:32,990
And the manifesto showed all the answers were

5474
03:12:33,350 --> 03:12:35,470
for another CIA.

5475
03:12:41,990 --> 03:12:46,290
Now a pissed off Mac will never be

5476
03:12:46,290 --> 03:12:48,050
the same.

5477
03:12:48,470 --> 03:12:52,250
Don't belong to no one that's ashamed.

5478
03:12:54,850 --> 03:12:59,630
Max will still in prison safely for a

5479
03:12:59,630 --> 03:13:00,450
while.

5480
03:13:01,020 --> 03:13:05,610
She won't tell no one no name.

5481
03:13:07,780 --> 03:13:10,440
She won't tell no name.

5482
03:13:14,060 --> 03:13:17,440
The best podcast in the universe.

5483
03:13:18,260 --> 03:13:19,620
Adios, mofo.

5484
03:13:19,780 --> 03:13:23,220
Dvorak.org slash N-A.

5485
03:13:24,390 --> 03:13:25,380
Bye bye.
