1
00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:01,050
Seed oils!

2
00:00:02,110 --> 00:00:03,330
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:03,470 --> 00:00:03,890
Dvorak.

4
00:00:03,910 --> 00:00:05,650
It's Sunday, October 5th, 2025.

5
00:00:05,970 --> 00:00:07,690
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media

6
00:00:07,690 --> 00:00:10,130
Assassination Episode 1805.

7
00:00:10,570 --> 00:00:12,130
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:13,550 --> 00:00:15,970
Protecting you from social alchemy.

9
00:00:16,370 --> 00:00:18,350
And broadcasting live from the heart of the

10
00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:20,430
Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number

11
00:00:20,430 --> 00:00:20,790
6.

12
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:21,870
In the morning, everybody.

13
00:00:22,050 --> 00:00:22,970
I'm Adam Curry.

14
00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:25,870
And from Northern Silicon Valley where there's no

15
00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:26,750
government shutdown.

16
00:00:27,130 --> 00:00:28,050
Everything's working.

17
00:00:28,210 --> 00:00:28,770
I'm John C.

18
00:00:28,810 --> 00:00:29,170
Dvorak.

19
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,580
In the morning.

20
00:00:33,860 --> 00:00:36,240
Best thing about the government shutdown.

21
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:37,840
Best thing.

22
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,120
No chemtrails.

23
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,260
It's perfect.

24
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,620
It's perfect here in Texas.

25
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,200
Chemtrail-free we are, I tell you.

26
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:47,540
That's because it costs money.

27
00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:48,720
Yeah, of course.

28
00:00:48,820 --> 00:00:50,260
It costs tons of dough.

29
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,280
Can't have that.

30
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:52,580
Yeah.

31
00:00:52,780 --> 00:00:55,100
No, I mean, we won't notice anything for

32
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:57,160
at least another week, two weeks, maybe.

33
00:00:57,300 --> 00:00:59,300
I mean, has anything really changed?

34
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:01,460
Except for a couple of the parks here

35
00:01:01,460 --> 00:01:03,280
are closed, I guess.

36
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:03,820
Oh, no.

37
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,820
Yeah, the national parks.

38
00:01:06,660 --> 00:01:06,920
Yeah.

39
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:08,340
You have national parks?

40
00:01:08,460 --> 00:01:09,600
What national park do you have?

41
00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:10,720
I think that Lyndon B.

42
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,600
Johnson Park somehow is tied to the Park

43
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,000
Service.

44
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,240
The National Park Service.

45
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,200
It's not the Texas Park Service.

46
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:18,760
Lyndon B.

47
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,620
Johnson Park.

48
00:01:19,620 --> 00:01:20,720
It sounds like a scam.

49
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,980
Well, all of Johnson City is pretty much

50
00:01:24,980 --> 00:01:25,460
a scam.

51
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:29,040
I'd say Johnson City was the epicenter of

52
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,940
scams during the Johnson years.

53
00:01:31,420 --> 00:01:33,560
It's where Johnson had all his bag men

54
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,180
to go out across the country and collect.

55
00:01:37,580 --> 00:01:38,660
You know, collect.

56
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,920
So let's talk about the shutdown for a

57
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,180
second.

58
00:01:43,420 --> 00:01:43,700
Okay.

59
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,340
That's a good idea.

60
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,020
Just so you know, I have some early

61
00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:51,160
morning stuff from the Sunday morning shows when

62
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,660
you're ready, but you get going first.

63
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:54,920
Well, I just wanted to get this out

64
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,360
of the way.

65
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:55,740
Yeah.

66
00:01:57,180 --> 00:01:58,960
There's a lot of shutdown threats.

67
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,500
There's a shutdown analysis.

68
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:01,460
Yes.

69
00:02:01,780 --> 00:02:06,000
And then there is Kennedy's little diatribe.

70
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:07,240
I hope I have it on here.

71
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,620
Yes, this is the shut down.

72
00:02:10,460 --> 00:02:11,240
Oh, okay.

73
00:02:11,260 --> 00:02:12,660
I spelled it wrong, as usual.

74
00:02:12,820 --> 00:02:16,500
But this is Kennedy going off on Alcacio

75
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:17,300
Cortez.

76
00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:18,600
Oh, always fun.

77
00:02:18,820 --> 00:02:21,520
Basically, President Trump just said, we want you

78
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,820
to take some stuff out of the budget

79
00:02:23,820 --> 00:02:25,360
that we think is wasteful.

80
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,480
And we did.

81
00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:28,480
And that upset the Congress.

82
00:02:28,660 --> 00:02:30,480
She's entitled to be upset if she wants

83
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:30,680
to.

84
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,060
But that really upset the socialist wing of

85
00:02:33,060 --> 00:02:33,440
the party.

86
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:36,760
And so we took out and here's what

87
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,380
they want us to put back in.

88
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,220
We found that under President Biden, they were

89
00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:46,320
spending $3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in

90
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:46,880
Zambia.

91
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,960
We took that out.

92
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,120
The Congresswoman says, we're going to shut down

93
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,580
government till you put that back in.

94
00:02:52,580 --> 00:02:56,960
We found $500,000 of American taxpayer money

95
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,300
for electric buses in Rwanda.

96
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,000
We found $3.6 million for pastry cooking

97
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,120
classes and dance focus groups for male prostitutes

98
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:07,760
in Haiti.

99
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:08,860
How can you not?

100
00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:10,020
Am I making this up?

101
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,560
It was in the budget under President Biden.

102
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,020
We took it out.

103
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,320
Congresswoman Alcacio Cortez and the socialist wing, the

104
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,740
loon wing of the Democratic Party says we're

105
00:03:20,740 --> 00:03:22,200
going to shut down government till you put

106
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:22,860
it back in.

107
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,940
I'll just read you a few more that

108
00:03:24,940 --> 00:03:25,660
we took out.

109
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,640
$6 million for media organizations for the Palestinians.

110
00:03:30,580 --> 00:03:34,680
$833,000 for transgender people in Nepal.

111
00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:39,240
$300,000 for a pride parade in Lesotho.

112
00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:44,800
$882,000 for social media mentorship in Serbia.

113
00:03:45,060 --> 00:03:46,280
$4.2 million.

114
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,720
We took out the Congresswoman and the socialist

115
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,120
wing of their party says we got to

116
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,200
put that back in for that open government.

117
00:03:54,580 --> 00:03:59,560
$4.2 million for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,

118
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,380
queer, and intersex people in the Western Balkans

119
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:04,080
and Uganda.

120
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,040
I could spend the rest of the afternoon

121
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:06,380
here.

122
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,000
We took all that out.

123
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:10,560
It upset Congresswoman Alcacio Cortez.

124
00:04:10,820 --> 00:04:13,300
It upset the socialist wing of her party.

125
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,880
And now that wing of her party and

126
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,160
the Congresswoman are threatening all other Democrats and

127
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,240
saying you've got to shut that government down

128
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,580
until we get what we want.

129
00:04:23,820 --> 00:04:26,400
And part of what they want is to

130
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,660
add this kind of stuff back in.

131
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:30,860
And that's what this fight is all about.

132
00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:36,860
Always a good soundbite from anybody in Congress

133
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:38,260
during these shutdowns.

134
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,060
Yeah.

135
00:04:39,940 --> 00:04:41,840
I mean, this used to be more common.

136
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:43,760
I mean, Rand Paul used to be notorious

137
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,500
for doing it.

138
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,240
Where is Rand Paul?

139
00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:48,960
Rand Paul, there's no soundbites from him.

140
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,240
He's like not on the scene.

141
00:04:50,260 --> 00:04:53,140
He's voting against, but he's voting with the

142
00:04:53,140 --> 00:04:54,320
Democrats on this.

143
00:04:54,420 --> 00:04:54,860
Of course.

144
00:04:55,540 --> 00:04:56,520
He's the one guy.

145
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,520
Because he loves the transgender stuff.

146
00:05:00,780 --> 00:05:02,500
Like that's what it's all about.

147
00:05:02,660 --> 00:05:04,100
We know that that's not true.

148
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,080
That's just, you know, it's fun though.

149
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,080
But those are things that benefit.

150
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,120
I think all that stuff is probably from

151
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:12,880
USAID.

152
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:13,860
Oh, for sure.

153
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,940
That's like I'm hearing him again.

154
00:05:16,700 --> 00:05:20,000
And by the way, I also suspect that

155
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,940
$4 million, $3 million, all this money that

156
00:05:22,940 --> 00:05:25,260
supposedly goes to this and that is actually

157
00:05:25,260 --> 00:05:28,100
going into somebody's pocket to do something else.

158
00:05:28,820 --> 00:05:30,980
But you see, you're completely wrong.

159
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,820
It's not about this at all.

160
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:35,260
At all.

161
00:05:36,260 --> 00:05:38,880
Your buddy, Manhans Welker.

162
00:05:39,660 --> 00:05:40,560
Isn't that your buddy?

163
00:05:40,780 --> 00:05:41,420
She's the hands.

164
00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:42,840
Kristen, Kristen Welker.

165
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,860
The one with the big giant black laborer,

166
00:05:47,860 --> 00:05:49,200
Manhans, that one.

167
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,340
Manhans Welker.

168
00:05:51,340 --> 00:05:53,260
She knows what this is really about.

169
00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:54,600
That's only a 30 second clip.

170
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:55,660
We can get back to yours in a

171
00:05:55,660 --> 00:05:55,820
minute.

172
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,920
And as you know, many Democrats have looked

173
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,600
at your move.

174
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,460
They say the House is not in session

175
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:02,800
because you don't want to swear in this

176
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,180
newly elected center.

177
00:06:04,380 --> 00:06:07,920
The Congresswoman, Democratic Congresswoman from Arizona, who would

178
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,440
be a critical vote to releasing the Epstein

179
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:10,800
files.

180
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:11,680
How do you respond?

181
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,140
Yeah, Epstein.

182
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,020
This has nothing to do with that.

183
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:15,100
It's another red herring.

184
00:06:15,460 --> 00:06:17,360
The reason the government is closed is because

185
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,240
Chuck Schumer and 43 of his Democrat colleagues

186
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,380
in the Senate have decided now to vote

187
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:24,460
multiple times to keep the government closed.

188
00:06:24,820 --> 00:06:26,420
We need them to turn the lights back

189
00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:28,340
on so that everyone can do their work.

190
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,520
This is all so tedious and boring.

191
00:06:30,820 --> 00:06:32,220
It's the Schumer shutdown.

192
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:34,880
It's it's Trump shutdown.

193
00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:35,460
Shit.

194
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:35,920
Shoot.

195
00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:36,380
Shut.

196
00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:36,820
Shut.

197
00:06:36,860 --> 00:06:38,900
I think the Epstein shutdown is better.

198
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:39,420
It's better.

199
00:06:40,220 --> 00:06:41,800
And that was right off the bat.

200
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:43,280
That was the top of the morning from

201
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:43,600
her.

202
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:45,780
Yeah, we all we all know her up

203
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:46,300
with that.

204
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,240
Well, of course.

205
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,500
Some writer.

206
00:06:48,860 --> 00:06:49,060
Yeah.

207
00:06:49,260 --> 00:06:49,520
What else?

208
00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:51,040
Like she has a brain.

209
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:53,760
No, you put that in there.

210
00:06:53,860 --> 00:06:54,880
It's very funny.

211
00:06:54,980 --> 00:06:55,520
It's good.

212
00:06:55,940 --> 00:06:57,380
If you're going to have the Speaker of

213
00:06:57,380 --> 00:06:58,800
the House get in with that one right

214
00:06:58,800 --> 00:06:59,120
away.

215
00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:01,340
We all know this is about Epstein.

216
00:07:01,340 --> 00:07:03,580
We all know what's going on.

217
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,360
Mike Johnson.

218
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,300
Well, here's a couple of there's a couple

219
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:11,120
of NPR clips just from yesterday.

220
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:12,460
Shutdown threats.

221
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,020
NPR.

222
00:07:13,140 --> 00:07:14,380
There's a kicker in here.

223
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:16,420
Well, OK.

224
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,220
NPR Steven Fowler joins us.

225
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:18,800
Good morning.

226
00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:21,620
Let's begin first with the threats to fire

227
00:07:21,620 --> 00:07:21,840
for.

228
00:07:22,060 --> 00:07:23,060
Hey, hey.

229
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:24,760
Yeah, I am sorry.

230
00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:25,500
I forgot.

231
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:27,020
No, no, that's not what I'm saying.

232
00:07:27,940 --> 00:07:28,500
Yes, Scott.

233
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:28,940
Yeah.

234
00:07:28,940 --> 00:07:31,180
I mean, when we have when we have

235
00:07:31,180 --> 00:07:33,840
Scott Simon, you've got to warn me so

236
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:34,160
we can.

237
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:36,160
I usually put SS on the in the

238
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:36,660
clip title.

239
00:07:36,740 --> 00:07:37,240
I just forgot.

240
00:07:37,420 --> 00:07:38,780
Suffer and suck a dash.

241
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:40,960
I'm Scott Simon.

242
00:07:44,890 --> 00:07:46,470
NPR Steven Fowler joins us.

243
00:07:46,690 --> 00:07:47,010
Good morning.

244
00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:49,870
Let's begin first with the threats to fire

245
00:07:49,870 --> 00:07:50,630
federal workers.

246
00:07:50,730 --> 00:07:52,230
Has anyone actually been let go yet?

247
00:07:52,990 --> 00:07:55,130
Well, so far, they're just threats.

248
00:07:55,470 --> 00:07:58,110
Here's White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt speaking

249
00:07:58,110 --> 00:07:59,330
to Morning Edition yesterday.

250
00:07:59,330 --> 00:08:01,410
The president is meeting with the Office of

251
00:08:01,410 --> 00:08:03,910
Management and Budget to try to understand what

252
00:08:03,910 --> 00:08:06,690
agencies are essential, what agencies do not align

253
00:08:06,690 --> 00:08:09,150
with the administration's priorities and values.

254
00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:10,890
Here's the thing to think about, though, Scott.

255
00:08:11,290 --> 00:08:14,030
Any of these reductions in force or RIF

256
00:08:14,030 --> 00:08:16,130
efforts that would come would have to be

257
00:08:16,130 --> 00:08:18,090
from the leaders of these federal agencies.

258
00:08:18,590 --> 00:08:20,570
President Trump can't make them happen, and neither

259
00:08:20,570 --> 00:08:22,330
can Russ Vogt, the head of the Office

260
00:08:22,330 --> 00:08:23,230
of Management and Budget.

261
00:08:23,850 --> 00:08:26,310
RIF rules are pretty particular about the amount

262
00:08:26,310 --> 00:08:28,510
of time and notice they have to give

263
00:08:28,510 --> 00:08:29,750
before they can take effect.

264
00:08:29,950 --> 00:08:32,409
There's also a lawsuit that's been filed from

265
00:08:32,409 --> 00:08:35,190
federal workers unions saying that the threat of

266
00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:38,190
firing workers, especially during a shutdown, is illegal.

267
00:08:39,530 --> 00:08:42,230
This goes right back to the Doge executive

268
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:42,650
order.

269
00:08:42,890 --> 00:08:44,050
Yes, exactly.

270
00:08:44,270 --> 00:08:46,850
And so and by the way, the threat,

271
00:08:47,330 --> 00:08:49,670
supposedly, of firing is illegal.

272
00:08:50,350 --> 00:08:53,210
Oh, the threat, not the actual firing, but

273
00:08:53,210 --> 00:08:54,090
the threat of it.

274
00:08:54,230 --> 00:08:56,750
Oh, well, that's you're paying attention to the

275
00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:57,930
words, as always.

276
00:08:58,510 --> 00:08:58,930
They said.

277
00:08:59,070 --> 00:08:59,530
Yeah, you're right.

278
00:08:59,690 --> 00:09:01,010
I think that's I think is absolutely.

279
00:09:01,190 --> 00:09:03,970
I think there's some it's I believe it's

280
00:09:03,970 --> 00:09:04,350
hate speech.

281
00:09:04,730 --> 00:09:05,990
It should be illegal doing.

282
00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:09,650
They're suing, but there hasn't been any firings,

283
00:09:09,710 --> 00:09:11,450
but they're suing anyway because of the threat.

284
00:09:11,710 --> 00:09:12,390
It's the threat.

285
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:12,770
Yes.

286
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:15,090
So let's go to the here's the kicker.

287
00:09:15,250 --> 00:09:17,610
Hakeem Jeffries said this in an NPR interview

288
00:09:17,610 --> 00:09:18,470
earlier this week.

289
00:09:19,630 --> 00:09:20,390
Oh, sorry.

290
00:09:20,570 --> 00:09:22,750
Trump administration has been out of control since

291
00:09:22,750 --> 00:09:23,210
day one.

292
00:09:23,290 --> 00:09:25,290
They've been laying people off since day one.

293
00:09:25,290 --> 00:09:28,750
They've been firing federal employees since day one,

294
00:09:28,830 --> 00:09:31,550
and they've been violating the law since day

295
00:09:31,550 --> 00:09:31,890
one.

296
00:09:32,210 --> 00:09:35,090
Doge's work to cancel contracts and direct agencies

297
00:09:35,090 --> 00:09:37,650
to slash their workforce is an extension of

298
00:09:37,650 --> 00:09:39,610
Trump and votes long held belief that the

299
00:09:39,610 --> 00:09:42,230
government should be smaller and spend less on

300
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:43,750
things they don't agree with.

301
00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:45,950
Even as the White House has tried to

302
00:09:45,950 --> 00:09:48,190
circumvent the spending and budgeting power given to

303
00:09:48,190 --> 00:09:51,130
Congress, which Republicans have so far allowed to

304
00:09:51,130 --> 00:09:53,610
happen, it's worth noting that agencies have been

305
00:09:53,610 --> 00:09:55,730
hiring back hundreds of workers they let go

306
00:09:55,730 --> 00:09:58,490
earlier this year, and Treasury data shows spending

307
00:09:58,490 --> 00:10:01,210
has actually increased instead of decreased.

308
00:10:02,750 --> 00:10:03,270
What?

309
00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:04,890
Maybe.

310
00:10:05,150 --> 00:10:07,410
So we listen to all this bullcrap.

311
00:10:08,030 --> 00:10:08,290
Yeah.

312
00:10:08,430 --> 00:10:09,150
On and on.

313
00:10:09,210 --> 00:10:09,910
Oh, they're firing.

314
00:10:10,050 --> 00:10:11,630
Oh, and Jeffries goes on.

315
00:10:11,650 --> 00:10:12,830
They're firing everybody.

316
00:10:12,990 --> 00:10:14,270
We don't know what to do about it.

317
00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:15,110
We're suing them.

318
00:10:15,230 --> 00:10:18,790
And the government budget has gone up because

319
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:20,450
they keep hiring more people.

320
00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:21,430
Are you kidding me?

321
00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:23,520
Well, the budget did go up.

322
00:10:24,410 --> 00:10:25,730
It went up for the budget.

323
00:10:25,930 --> 00:10:29,090
The ceiling went up, but the budget, this

324
00:10:29,090 --> 00:10:29,870
is ridiculous.

325
00:10:30,070 --> 00:10:30,930
They have done nothing.

326
00:10:31,050 --> 00:10:33,310
Trump hasn't backed it off even an inch

327
00:10:33,310 --> 00:10:33,950
or an iota.

328
00:10:34,270 --> 00:10:36,170
Well, Doge has done nothing.

329
00:10:36,450 --> 00:10:38,110
You're believing NPR now.

330
00:10:38,290 --> 00:10:39,190
I mean, come on.

331
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:41,930
We know they got at least 50 billion.

332
00:10:42,330 --> 00:10:42,850
That's something.

333
00:10:43,210 --> 00:10:43,650
That's something.

334
00:10:43,650 --> 00:10:44,750
They want their money back.

335
00:10:46,370 --> 00:10:48,370
What they want is all that other stuff,

336
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:50,330
you know, a trillion and a half dollars

337
00:10:50,330 --> 00:10:50,930
of nonsense.

338
00:10:51,650 --> 00:10:53,210
Stuff we definitely don't need.

339
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:56,870
Yeah, I get it.

340
00:10:58,470 --> 00:11:00,370
Well, I get it.

341
00:11:00,490 --> 00:11:01,110
I get it.

342
00:11:01,110 --> 00:11:03,050
There's two more clips that would be, you

343
00:11:03,050 --> 00:11:03,970
can go do your thing.

344
00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:06,990
Let's do shutdown analysis one.

345
00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:07,910
Okay.

346
00:11:08,130 --> 00:11:09,010
Where's this from?

347
00:11:09,130 --> 00:11:09,910
Oh, NPR.

348
00:11:10,210 --> 00:11:10,490
Okay.

349
00:11:10,970 --> 00:11:12,530
The shutdown of the U.S. government.

350
00:11:12,810 --> 00:11:14,670
Since Tuesday, the U.S. Senate has taken

351
00:11:14,670 --> 00:11:16,570
up the same votes to fund the government

352
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:19,530
temporarily with continuing resolutions.

353
00:11:20,070 --> 00:11:21,590
They still don't have the votes.

354
00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:24,610
Is there an agreement even on the distant

355
00:11:24,610 --> 00:11:25,330
horizon?

356
00:11:25,950 --> 00:11:29,170
Joined now by NPR congressional correspondent Barbara Sprint.

357
00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:30,470
Barbara, thanks for being with us.

358
00:11:30,530 --> 00:11:32,350
It's so good to have Scott back on

359
00:11:32,350 --> 00:11:32,810
the machine.

360
00:11:33,090 --> 00:11:33,710
Hey, thank you.

361
00:11:33,970 --> 00:11:36,470
The Senate yesterday failed once more to advance

362
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:39,550
competing plans to extend federal funding and end

363
00:11:39,550 --> 00:11:40,010
the shutdown.

364
00:11:40,830 --> 00:11:42,410
How are those plans different again?

365
00:11:43,070 --> 00:11:45,230
Well, one is a GOP plan that has

366
00:11:45,230 --> 00:11:46,530
already passed the House.

367
00:11:46,750 --> 00:11:49,410
It would fund the government through November 21st.

368
00:11:49,530 --> 00:11:52,350
Then there's a Democratic counterproposal as well.

369
00:11:52,510 --> 00:11:55,170
That would fund the government through October, and

370
00:11:55,170 --> 00:11:57,730
it includes an extension of healthcare tax credits

371
00:11:57,730 --> 00:11:59,510
that were boosted up during the pandemic.

372
00:12:00,030 --> 00:12:01,690
Those are on track to expire at the

373
00:12:01,690 --> 00:12:02,230
end of the year.

374
00:12:02,730 --> 00:12:05,110
Now, Republicans have said they'll negotiate on that

375
00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:07,810
point, but only after the government is funded.

376
00:12:08,510 --> 00:12:10,590
Even then, Senate Majority Leader John Thune has

377
00:12:10,590 --> 00:12:13,050
said it would not be a simple process.

378
00:12:13,050 --> 00:12:16,930
We can't make commitments or promises on the

379
00:12:16,930 --> 00:12:20,510
COVID subsidies because that's not something that we

380
00:12:20,510 --> 00:12:22,590
can guarantee that they're the votes there to

381
00:12:22,590 --> 00:12:22,790
do.

382
00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:25,750
There were a few Democrats who did support

383
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:27,890
the Republican proposal this week.

384
00:12:28,670 --> 00:12:30,750
Has there been any more movement or are

385
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:31,450
the numbers tightening?

386
00:12:32,050 --> 00:12:33,210
No, they are not.

387
00:12:33,310 --> 00:12:35,010
It has been the same as that first

388
00:12:35,010 --> 00:12:37,530
vote where we saw two Democratic senators and

389
00:12:37,530 --> 00:12:39,750
one independent joining Republicans.

390
00:12:40,250 --> 00:12:42,450
In fact, there's been so little movement on

391
00:12:42,450 --> 00:12:44,670
any kind of negotiation between the two parties

392
00:12:44,670 --> 00:12:47,050
that the Senate isn't even expected to stay

393
00:12:47,050 --> 00:12:48,930
over the weekend and do more votes.

394
00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:51,690
Here's Thune yesterday when asked about the possibility

395
00:12:51,690 --> 00:12:52,870
of weekend work.

396
00:12:53,130 --> 00:12:54,810
Hopefully over the weekend, they'll have a chance

397
00:12:54,810 --> 00:12:55,510
to think about it.

398
00:12:55,610 --> 00:12:58,030
Maybe some of these conversations start to result

399
00:12:58,030 --> 00:13:00,470
in something to where we can start moving

400
00:13:00,470 --> 00:13:02,950
some votes and actually get this thing passed.

401
00:13:03,130 --> 00:13:04,430
Who is this woman from NPR?

402
00:13:04,510 --> 00:13:05,370
I'm not familiar with her.

403
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:06,170
I like her voice.

404
00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:07,730
I like her voice.

405
00:13:09,170 --> 00:13:10,310
I've never heard her.

406
00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:11,210
No, no.

407
00:13:11,330 --> 00:13:13,270
She probably has a weekend substitute.

408
00:13:13,330 --> 00:13:15,990
Well, she has a slick, suave, smooth kind

409
00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:18,170
of a vocal thing going on there.

410
00:13:18,330 --> 00:13:21,090
It's not your typical vocal fry.

411
00:13:21,990 --> 00:13:23,030
It's an improvement.

412
00:13:23,230 --> 00:13:24,430
I'm just saying it's an improvement.

413
00:13:25,330 --> 00:13:28,310
Okay, well, I'll minimize these clips.

414
00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:31,670
You're offhanded way of saying they suck.

415
00:13:32,030 --> 00:13:32,950
No, not at all.

416
00:13:32,950 --> 00:13:37,470
Don't they also want NPR and PBS refunded

417
00:13:37,470 --> 00:13:39,130
of that big whopping 1%?

418
00:13:39,290 --> 00:13:40,470
Isn't that also part of this?

419
00:13:40,850 --> 00:13:41,030
Yeah, yeah.

420
00:13:41,130 --> 00:13:42,430
They have to have that money back.

421
00:13:42,630 --> 00:13:46,810
Well, so shouldn't NPR disclaim and say part

422
00:13:46,810 --> 00:13:48,790
of the demands are to bring us money?

423
00:13:49,010 --> 00:13:50,910
So just so you know, you know, that

424
00:13:50,910 --> 00:13:52,530
it involves us.

425
00:13:52,570 --> 00:13:54,030
They should have some kind of, what do

426
00:13:54,030 --> 00:13:54,450
you call that?

427
00:13:54,890 --> 00:13:55,930
Full disclaimer.

428
00:13:56,210 --> 00:13:57,070
Full disclosure.

429
00:13:57,830 --> 00:13:58,630
Full disclosure.

430
00:13:59,070 --> 00:13:59,750
Yeah, they should say that.

431
00:13:59,750 --> 00:14:02,950
I've been listening to NPR all day yesterday

432
00:14:02,950 --> 00:14:04,030
to get some of these clips.

433
00:14:04,170 --> 00:14:05,250
Oh my God, did you need to take

434
00:14:05,250 --> 00:14:05,750
Advil?

435
00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:06,930
I did.

436
00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:09,830
But the point is, is no, they've never

437
00:14:09,830 --> 00:14:10,630
said that once.

438
00:14:10,910 --> 00:14:12,010
No, no, of course not.

439
00:14:12,390 --> 00:14:12,870
Of course not.

440
00:14:13,190 --> 00:14:14,290
I mean, they'll do it when they do

441
00:14:14,290 --> 00:14:16,110
like a story about John Deere.

442
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:18,350
They'll say something like, well, John Deere also

443
00:14:18,350 --> 00:14:21,570
underwrites the show.

444
00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:22,790
But, you know, here we're going to talk

445
00:14:22,790 --> 00:14:23,210
about it.

446
00:14:23,410 --> 00:14:24,210
But they didn't know.

447
00:14:24,290 --> 00:14:25,510
They have not done that.

448
00:14:25,530 --> 00:14:26,090
And they should have.

449
00:14:26,130 --> 00:14:26,490
You're right.

450
00:14:26,630 --> 00:14:28,070
Let's go with the second part of this.

451
00:14:28,070 --> 00:14:29,710
The impasse is essentially this.

452
00:14:29,950 --> 00:14:33,050
Because the Senate needs Democrats to reach that

453
00:14:33,050 --> 00:14:35,250
60 vote threshold to pass this kind of

454
00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:37,990
bill, Democrats, who of course have very little

455
00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:40,310
power as the party in the minority, say

456
00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:42,250
that demanding that there be some kind of

457
00:14:42,250 --> 00:14:45,150
negotiations between the two parties is appropriate.

458
00:14:46,130 --> 00:14:48,430
Unsurprisingly, Republicans do not share that view.

459
00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:51,050
They say Democrats are holding the American people

460
00:14:51,050 --> 00:14:52,530
hostage via the shutdown.

461
00:14:53,010 --> 00:14:54,430
Of course, in the meantime, the White House

462
00:14:54,430 --> 00:14:57,590
is proceeding with plans to cut programs and

463
00:14:57,590 --> 00:15:01,190
spending, often it seems, in areas with lots

464
00:15:01,190 --> 00:15:02,170
of Democratic voters.

465
00:15:02,410 --> 00:15:04,010
What is the argument they make here?

466
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:05,970
Well, this is very much in line with

467
00:15:05,970 --> 00:15:08,250
the administration's thesis when it comes to its

468
00:15:08,250 --> 00:15:10,890
role in cutting programs and government workers.

469
00:15:11,550 --> 00:15:14,390
Items on the chopping block include some transportation

470
00:15:14,390 --> 00:15:16,650
projects in New York, the home state of

471
00:15:16,650 --> 00:15:18,630
both the House and Senate Democratic leaders.

472
00:15:19,310 --> 00:15:21,850
Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt told our colleague Stephen

473
00:15:21,850 --> 00:15:24,890
Skeap yesterday that the administration views that as

474
00:15:24,890 --> 00:15:26,810
minority leader Chuck Schumer's fault.

475
00:15:27,050 --> 00:15:28,890
They can't show up to work right now.

476
00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:32,090
So that project is currently temporarily halted because

477
00:15:32,090 --> 00:15:33,470
of Chuck Schumer's shutdown.

478
00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:35,610
So Chuck Schumer did that to himself.

479
00:15:36,170 --> 00:15:37,910
He did that to his constituents in New

480
00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:38,190
York.

481
00:15:38,450 --> 00:15:40,030
And how do Democrats respond?

482
00:15:40,990 --> 00:15:43,870
Well, Democrats have called this an intimidation tactic.

483
00:15:44,370 --> 00:15:46,390
They've blasted a plan from the White House's

484
00:15:46,390 --> 00:15:49,830
budget arm to fire federal workers instead of

485
00:15:49,830 --> 00:15:52,890
temporarily furloughing them, which is usually what happens

486
00:15:52,890 --> 00:15:53,570
in a shutdown.

487
00:15:53,570 --> 00:15:56,610
Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont said he

488
00:15:56,610 --> 00:15:58,410
thinks that plan will backfire.

489
00:15:58,910 --> 00:16:00,230
And the idea that you have a president

490
00:16:00,230 --> 00:16:03,410
who says, hey, your state voted against me,

491
00:16:03,770 --> 00:16:05,110
we're going to cut funding for you.

492
00:16:05,790 --> 00:16:08,490
That is not only illegal, not only outrageous,

493
00:16:08,730 --> 00:16:09,790
it is unconstitutional.

494
00:16:10,090 --> 00:16:10,970
Where is your head?

495
00:16:11,510 --> 00:16:12,290
Where is your head?

496
00:16:12,950 --> 00:16:15,430
These people are old and decrepit, and I'm

497
00:16:15,430 --> 00:16:16,270
tired of them.

498
00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:18,190
And it's fine if you say that about

499
00:16:18,190 --> 00:16:19,090
me in 20 years.

500
00:16:19,090 --> 00:16:20,630
But right now, I'm tired of them.

501
00:16:20,990 --> 00:16:21,930
And you know what they should do?

502
00:16:21,930 --> 00:16:23,950
So the Democrats, they need something to save

503
00:16:23,950 --> 00:16:24,310
face.

504
00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:26,310
Here's what I would do if I was

505
00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:26,770
the president.

506
00:16:27,610 --> 00:16:30,510
I would say, OK, we'll give you your

507
00:16:30,510 --> 00:16:32,530
circumcisions in Albania back.

508
00:16:32,590 --> 00:16:35,910
We'll give you your LGBTQ pride parade in

509
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:37,470
Morocco, whatever it is.

510
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:39,170
We'll give you all that back.

511
00:16:39,230 --> 00:16:39,930
Are you happy now?

512
00:16:39,950 --> 00:16:41,070
Is that really what it's all about?

513
00:16:41,130 --> 00:16:41,890
Is that what you want?

514
00:16:43,410 --> 00:16:44,230
Give them something.

515
00:16:45,290 --> 00:16:46,310
They need something.

516
00:16:47,470 --> 00:16:51,350
I'm sure that the climate change stuff is

517
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:53,730
what he's thinking of giving back or something

518
00:16:53,730 --> 00:16:54,490
like that.

519
00:16:55,410 --> 00:16:57,150
That's the art of the deal.

520
00:16:57,510 --> 00:16:58,310
The art of the deal.

521
00:16:58,590 --> 00:17:00,310
He has to give up something, sometime.

522
00:17:01,050 --> 00:17:02,490
Or will he just keep it going for

523
00:17:02,490 --> 00:17:02,850
a month?

524
00:17:03,150 --> 00:17:04,369
I think they should just keep it going

525
00:17:04,369 --> 00:17:04,750
forever.

526
00:17:06,430 --> 00:17:09,589
Well, shut down that Lyndon Johnson park.

527
00:17:10,170 --> 00:17:11,490
By the way, you can still just get

528
00:17:11,490 --> 00:17:11,770
in.

529
00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:14,329
It's not like, oh, you just go in

530
00:17:14,329 --> 00:17:15,569
and there's no gate guard.

531
00:17:15,569 --> 00:17:17,890
You can't walk into the park.

532
00:17:19,930 --> 00:17:21,410
They have a friend of ours and her

533
00:17:21,410 --> 00:17:24,490
friends that were all camping out here and

534
00:17:24,490 --> 00:17:27,450
they came by last night, yesterday afternoon.

535
00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:29,370
And I said, well, was the park shut

536
00:17:29,370 --> 00:17:29,510
down?

537
00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:31,010
Yeah, we had the code because we booked

538
00:17:31,010 --> 00:17:32,010
it before the shutdown.

539
00:17:32,150 --> 00:17:33,090
So we just had the code and went

540
00:17:33,090 --> 00:17:33,550
right in.

541
00:17:34,310 --> 00:17:35,070
The code.

542
00:17:35,410 --> 00:17:36,310
They got a gate code.

543
00:17:37,790 --> 00:17:42,890
Well, our ATC producers and our CBP producers...

544
00:17:42,890 --> 00:17:43,550
How about, wait a minute.

545
00:17:44,110 --> 00:17:47,870
I'm thinking, why doesn't some entrepreneurial type have

546
00:17:47,870 --> 00:17:50,010
the gate code and go stand there at

547
00:17:50,010 --> 00:17:51,010
the thing and collect money?

548
00:17:51,330 --> 00:17:51,930
Take money.

549
00:17:52,790 --> 00:17:53,890
Put on a uniform.

550
00:17:54,450 --> 00:17:58,310
Yeah, put on a hard hat and the

551
00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:59,270
orange vest.

552
00:17:59,470 --> 00:18:00,050
And a clipboard.

553
00:18:00,170 --> 00:18:00,710
And a clipboard.

554
00:18:01,250 --> 00:18:02,230
You're on the list.

555
00:18:02,350 --> 00:18:02,830
I see it.

556
00:18:02,910 --> 00:18:03,730
Yep, you're on the list.

557
00:18:04,430 --> 00:18:06,490
Hey, we should do no agenda meetups in

558
00:18:06,490 --> 00:18:07,290
these parks now.

559
00:18:07,970 --> 00:18:08,330
Yeah.

560
00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:10,070
There's all kinds of good ideas.

561
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:12,990
Well, while this is going on, the president

562
00:18:12,990 --> 00:18:15,430
has an interview scheduled to air tonight.

563
00:18:15,610 --> 00:18:18,290
He's chosen, this time, he's chosen a different

564
00:18:18,290 --> 00:18:18,790
network.

565
00:18:19,410 --> 00:18:20,970
Typically, it goes for one of the big

566
00:18:20,970 --> 00:18:21,330
three.

567
00:18:21,810 --> 00:18:25,910
Now he's chosen OAN for his big interview,

568
00:18:26,350 --> 00:18:28,630
which I think is an interesting move.

569
00:18:28,750 --> 00:18:31,150
The home of Matt Gaetz, although it's not

570
00:18:31,150 --> 00:18:32,310
Matt Gaetz to do the interview.

571
00:18:32,830 --> 00:18:34,470
And he's got some promises.

572
00:18:35,090 --> 00:18:37,270
We also might make a distribution to the

573
00:18:37,270 --> 00:18:39,630
people, almost like a dividend to the people

574
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:40,330
of America.

575
00:18:40,570 --> 00:18:41,830
How much are you thinking for that, sir?

576
00:18:41,930 --> 00:18:44,630
Well, we're thinking maybe $1,000 to $2

577
00:18:44,630 --> 00:18:44,990
,000.

578
00:18:45,950 --> 00:18:46,610
Be great.

579
00:18:47,010 --> 00:18:48,330
Inflation is completely stable.

580
00:18:48,670 --> 00:18:49,670
It's around target rate.

581
00:18:49,950 --> 00:18:52,530
And the country is ultimately taking in unprecedented

582
00:18:52,530 --> 00:18:55,730
amounts of tariff revenue, more than $200 billion

583
00:18:55,730 --> 00:18:57,690
at this point in time, sir.

584
00:18:57,870 --> 00:19:00,790
What do you believe this extra source of

585
00:19:00,790 --> 00:19:02,870
revenue can be put towards?

586
00:19:02,970 --> 00:19:04,350
And how big of a game changer is

587
00:19:04,350 --> 00:19:05,610
it for your administration?

588
00:19:05,610 --> 00:19:09,290
Well, ultimately, because we're talking about just kicking

589
00:19:09,290 --> 00:19:09,550
in.

590
00:19:09,630 --> 00:19:11,310
They're just starting to kick in.

591
00:19:11,450 --> 00:19:13,670
But ultimately, your tariffs are going to be

592
00:19:13,670 --> 00:19:15,630
over $1 trillion a year, in my opinion.

593
00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:17,330
We're going to do something.

594
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:19,790
We're looking at something where, number one, we're

595
00:19:19,790 --> 00:19:22,390
paying down debt, because people have allowed the

596
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:23,310
debt to go crazy.

597
00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:25,910
But with growth, with the kind of growth

598
00:19:25,910 --> 00:19:27,470
we have now, the debt is very little,

599
00:19:27,550 --> 00:19:28,510
relatively speaking.

600
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:29,890
And we're going to grow our way out

601
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:30,210
of it.

602
00:19:30,590 --> 00:19:32,290
You grow yourself out of that debt.

603
00:19:32,290 --> 00:19:33,530
It's not a question of paying it.

604
00:19:33,950 --> 00:19:35,410
You grow yourself out.

605
00:19:35,410 --> 00:19:37,230
And the numbers are so much bigger than

606
00:19:37,230 --> 00:19:37,790
they ever were.

607
00:19:38,190 --> 00:19:39,710
The numbers we have now are bigger than

608
00:19:39,710 --> 00:19:40,370
they ever were.

609
00:19:40,510 --> 00:19:43,110
So when you have $36 trillion in debt.

610
00:19:43,330 --> 00:19:44,590
How many times have you seen- What?

611
00:19:44,730 --> 00:19:44,850
Stop.

612
00:19:45,150 --> 00:19:45,270
Yeah.

613
00:19:45,790 --> 00:19:47,890
He has this tendency when he's- Bigger

614
00:19:47,890 --> 00:19:48,250
than ever.

615
00:19:48,550 --> 00:19:48,810
Bigger than ever.

616
00:19:48,810 --> 00:19:51,190
When he's full of it, just to repeat

617
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:51,790
the phrase.

618
00:19:51,970 --> 00:19:53,030
It's bigger than- So if you back

619
00:19:53,030 --> 00:19:54,430
it up, he says, the numbers are going

620
00:19:54,430 --> 00:19:55,210
to be bigger than ever.

621
00:19:55,550 --> 00:19:56,930
They're going to be bigger than ever.

622
00:19:57,150 --> 00:19:58,570
They're going to be bigger than ever.

623
00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:59,930
He keeps saying the same thing.

624
00:19:59,990 --> 00:20:01,330
And he'll say it twice, at least.

625
00:20:01,410 --> 00:20:03,110
I think he's saying that the debt numbers

626
00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:06,050
are bigger than ever, which is- Grow

627
00:20:06,050 --> 00:20:06,950
yourself out.

628
00:20:07,130 --> 00:20:08,750
And the numbers are so much bigger than

629
00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:09,310
they ever were.

630
00:20:09,670 --> 00:20:11,230
The numbers we have now are bigger than

631
00:20:11,230 --> 00:20:11,870
they ever were.

632
00:20:12,250 --> 00:20:14,630
So when you have $36 trillion in debt

633
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:16,730
a year ago or two years ago.

634
00:20:16,730 --> 00:20:18,570
And you have a lot less revenue coming

635
00:20:18,570 --> 00:20:18,830
in.

636
00:20:18,890 --> 00:20:20,650
Then you have 37 or 38.

637
00:20:21,090 --> 00:20:23,290
It's not 38 yet, but it will be.

638
00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:26,170
And the numbers are so much bigger.

639
00:20:26,250 --> 00:20:28,410
All of a sudden, 38, you're under levered.

640
00:20:28,730 --> 00:20:30,850
Whereas for 36, you were highly levered.

641
00:20:31,250 --> 00:20:32,790
We're not highly levered anymore.

642
00:20:33,050 --> 00:20:34,730
Now, with that being said, we'll pay back

643
00:20:34,730 --> 00:20:34,990
debt.

644
00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:37,090
We're not highly levered anymore.

645
00:20:40,410 --> 00:20:42,190
He should say, you know, the checks should

646
00:20:42,190 --> 00:20:43,710
be giant checks.

647
00:20:44,350 --> 00:20:46,970
Did you know that Publishers Clearinghouse went out

648
00:20:46,970 --> 00:20:47,510
of business?

649
00:20:49,230 --> 00:20:51,210
Yeah, it's been for a while now.

650
00:20:51,330 --> 00:20:53,590
A couple, I think they went bankrupt.

651
00:20:53,810 --> 00:20:53,970
Yeah.

652
00:20:54,130 --> 00:20:55,530
And they pulled the plug on all these

653
00:20:55,530 --> 00:20:57,630
people that were collecting monthly benefits.

654
00:20:57,910 --> 00:20:58,130
Yes.

655
00:20:58,250 --> 00:21:00,070
And some company bought them.

656
00:21:00,150 --> 00:21:02,490
They're going to reinstate under a new name.

657
00:21:02,570 --> 00:21:04,430
But the people who got screwed are not

658
00:21:04,430 --> 00:21:05,210
going to get any money.

659
00:21:05,470 --> 00:21:05,870
You're done.

660
00:21:06,090 --> 00:21:06,290
Yeah.

661
00:21:06,290 --> 00:21:08,930
That's why you always take the cash out.

662
00:21:08,990 --> 00:21:10,070
You've got to take the cash.

663
00:21:10,630 --> 00:21:11,150
So I'm listening.

664
00:21:11,350 --> 00:21:12,490
They don't give you the cash out.

665
00:21:12,570 --> 00:21:16,050
You can find some financial operations to give

666
00:21:16,050 --> 00:21:16,610
you callers.

667
00:21:16,890 --> 00:21:17,650
Get a caller.

668
00:21:18,330 --> 00:21:19,830
So this is going on.

669
00:21:19,910 --> 00:21:21,110
And I read on CNBC.

670
00:21:21,270 --> 00:21:22,690
I thought I misread that.

671
00:21:22,970 --> 00:21:24,330
Well, I did misread the headline.

672
00:21:25,050 --> 00:21:27,390
I thought it said Treasury Ways minting.

673
00:21:27,430 --> 00:21:28,230
I thought it was going to be a

674
00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:29,630
$1 trillion coin.

675
00:21:31,110 --> 00:21:33,710
Treasury Ways minting $1 trillion coin with Trump's

676
00:21:33,710 --> 00:21:35,610
face for US 250th anniversary.

677
00:21:35,610 --> 00:21:37,570
And then I realized it's a $1 coin.

678
00:21:37,970 --> 00:21:38,790
I was excited.

679
00:21:38,910 --> 00:21:40,530
I'm like, oh, the trillion dollar coin is

680
00:21:40,530 --> 00:21:40,730
back.

681
00:21:43,870 --> 00:21:46,210
They're going to mint a coin with Trump's

682
00:21:46,210 --> 00:21:46,730
head on it?

683
00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:47,930
A dollar coin.

684
00:21:48,590 --> 00:21:50,410
It has his head on profile.

685
00:21:51,170 --> 00:21:51,570
Liberty.

686
00:21:52,150 --> 00:21:54,090
In God We Trust, 1776.

687
00:21:54,250 --> 00:21:54,870
On the other side.

688
00:21:54,890 --> 00:21:56,130
I thought that was like illegal.

689
00:21:56,810 --> 00:21:59,010
Or it was always assumed that you didn't

690
00:21:59,010 --> 00:22:00,170
do it when the guy was alive.

691
00:22:00,370 --> 00:22:01,830
It's a commemorative coin.

692
00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:02,910
So you can do that.

693
00:22:03,170 --> 00:22:04,530
They're all, yeah, well.

694
00:22:04,730 --> 00:22:04,910
Yeah.

695
00:22:04,910 --> 00:22:08,270
And the other side will have the iconic

696
00:22:08,270 --> 00:22:10,730
photo of him and the flag and fight,

697
00:22:11,070 --> 00:22:11,510
fight, fight.

698
00:22:12,390 --> 00:22:12,810
No.

699
00:22:12,990 --> 00:22:13,370
Yes.

700
00:22:14,090 --> 00:22:14,490
Yes.

701
00:22:14,510 --> 00:22:15,250
That's corny.

702
00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:16,070
It's a draft.

703
00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:17,150
A draft picture.

704
00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:18,270
Of course it's corny.

705
00:22:19,490 --> 00:22:23,010
But, you know, is putting your opponent in

706
00:22:23,010 --> 00:22:24,790
a sombrero any less corny?

707
00:22:25,150 --> 00:22:26,630
Well, no, that's funny.

708
00:22:26,750 --> 00:22:28,450
And it's gone out of control.

709
00:22:28,710 --> 00:22:31,070
There's like, there's at least 20 new ones

710
00:22:31,070 --> 00:22:32,550
out there with different sombreros.

711
00:22:32,690 --> 00:22:33,310
They're dancing.

712
00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:35,610
They better come out with the stable coin

713
00:22:35,610 --> 00:22:36,650
gambit pretty quickly.

714
00:22:36,790 --> 00:22:37,950
They got to start launching that.

715
00:22:38,090 --> 00:22:38,310
I don't know.

716
00:22:38,330 --> 00:22:39,450
I don't know what the plan is.

717
00:22:40,350 --> 00:22:43,230
But if you want to spread our debt

718
00:22:43,230 --> 00:22:44,450
to the rest of the world, you got

719
00:22:44,450 --> 00:22:45,170
to get that going.

720
00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:53,250
Meanwhile, Senator Tammy Duckworth was on CBS Face

721
00:22:53,250 --> 00:22:54,610
the Nation with Margaret.

722
00:22:56,890 --> 00:22:59,810
And this was actually kind of, I didn't

723
00:22:59,810 --> 00:23:01,690
know how annoying I thought she was.

724
00:23:01,690 --> 00:23:03,510
I think, you know, because you look at

725
00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:06,170
her, she didn't she have, she's a veteran.

726
00:23:06,290 --> 00:23:07,710
So she, I think she lost a leg

727
00:23:07,710 --> 00:23:08,810
or did she lose two legs?

728
00:23:09,930 --> 00:23:10,890
Something like that.

729
00:23:11,170 --> 00:23:13,130
So, you know, you never really pay attention

730
00:23:13,130 --> 00:23:14,670
to her because you look at her like,

731
00:23:14,730 --> 00:23:16,090
oh man, I feel bad for her.

732
00:23:16,290 --> 00:23:17,730
And thank you for your service.

733
00:23:18,590 --> 00:23:20,430
But when you listen to her in audio,

734
00:23:20,590 --> 00:23:21,210
it's like, ugh.

735
00:23:21,950 --> 00:23:25,330
So she's talking about what's going on with

736
00:23:25,330 --> 00:23:29,170
the guardsmen in Chicago.

737
00:23:29,170 --> 00:23:30,970
So I have to ask you about what

738
00:23:30,970 --> 00:23:34,670
the president announced yesterday in regard to federalizing

739
00:23:34,670 --> 00:23:37,770
300 National Guardsmen out in the state of

740
00:23:37,770 --> 00:23:38,150
Illinois.

741
00:23:39,130 --> 00:23:41,190
We've heard this threat going back all the

742
00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:41,810
way to August.

743
00:23:41,950 --> 00:23:43,750
The governor says these are not needed.

744
00:23:44,090 --> 00:23:46,110
Do you have any idea when they'll arrive?

745
00:23:46,910 --> 00:23:48,050
Well, I believe they're going to be Illinois

746
00:23:48,050 --> 00:23:48,950
National Guardsmen.

747
00:23:49,030 --> 00:23:50,150
So they're not going to be coming from

748
00:23:50,150 --> 00:23:50,690
out of state.

749
00:23:50,910 --> 00:23:52,830
I spoke with our governor yesterday and it

750
00:23:52,830 --> 00:23:54,190
looks like it's going to be about 300

751
00:23:54,190 --> 00:23:55,030
Illinois Guardsmen.

752
00:23:55,090 --> 00:23:56,930
She sounds a bit like Macy Hirono.

753
00:23:57,490 --> 00:23:59,730
Except she talks a little bit faster, but

754
00:23:59,730 --> 00:24:02,670
she has the same kind of intonation as

755
00:24:02,670 --> 00:24:03,490
from Hawaii.

756
00:24:04,530 --> 00:24:06,290
And probably just as dumb.

757
00:24:06,610 --> 00:24:08,750
Who will be activated against the governor's wishes.

758
00:24:09,410 --> 00:24:11,290
So they'll be homegrown Illinoisans.

759
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,370
And they're our brothers and sisters, our neighbors.

760
00:24:13,490 --> 00:24:15,310
I probably served with quite a number of

761
00:24:15,310 --> 00:24:15,550
them.

762
00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:17,090
Certainly the leadership.

763
00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:18,370
Probably not.

764
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:18,910
And, you know, they'll be home.

765
00:24:18,990 --> 00:24:19,970
We'll welcome them.

766
00:24:20,410 --> 00:24:22,510
It's a misuse of the National Guard.

767
00:24:22,850 --> 00:24:24,610
They're not needed in this particular role.

768
00:24:24,610 --> 00:24:27,270
President Trump really wanted to fight crime, then

769
00:24:27,270 --> 00:24:29,330
maybe you should stop defunding the police.

770
00:24:29,530 --> 00:24:30,190
He what?

771
00:24:31,170 --> 00:24:32,750
This is my favorite bit.

772
00:24:32,990 --> 00:24:36,430
So Trump is now defunding the police.

773
00:24:36,430 --> 00:24:37,330
This is great.

774
00:24:37,510 --> 00:24:39,650
And then maybe you should stop defunding the

775
00:24:39,650 --> 00:24:39,930
police.

776
00:24:40,030 --> 00:24:42,710
He, you know, he diverted $800 million in

777
00:24:42,710 --> 00:24:46,490
crime prevention efforts away from that was appropriated

778
00:24:46,490 --> 00:24:48,770
away from funding for our police officers.

779
00:24:48,930 --> 00:24:51,830
So, you know, I don't know why we're

780
00:24:51,830 --> 00:24:52,970
going to welcome them because they're our brothers

781
00:24:52,970 --> 00:24:54,390
and sisters and we're proud of our National

782
00:24:54,390 --> 00:24:54,730
Guard.

783
00:24:55,010 --> 00:24:57,070
And if you look at the Chicago budget,

784
00:24:57,750 --> 00:25:01,550
the number one expenditure is police, which is

785
00:25:01,550 --> 00:25:03,250
kind of crazy because they're not doing a

786
00:25:03,250 --> 00:25:04,010
great job.

787
00:25:04,150 --> 00:25:05,130
Most people think.

788
00:25:05,370 --> 00:25:08,830
And most of the anarchists in Chicago, I

789
00:25:08,830 --> 00:25:12,350
know a couple, they want to defund the

790
00:25:12,350 --> 00:25:12,630
police.

791
00:25:12,770 --> 00:25:14,470
They hate the Chicago police.

792
00:25:14,670 --> 00:25:16,690
They hate them with a passion, which kind

793
00:25:16,690 --> 00:25:17,510
of reminds me.

794
00:25:18,470 --> 00:25:20,870
Back in the days, was it Mad Magazine

795
00:25:20,870 --> 00:25:21,630
or Cracked?

796
00:25:21,630 --> 00:25:23,150
I think it was Cracked, probably.

797
00:25:23,710 --> 00:25:26,350
They always had the Chicago cops always portrayed

798
00:25:26,350 --> 00:25:29,250
as these horrible, you know, brutes.

799
00:25:29,570 --> 00:25:30,630
Was that Cracked Magazine?

800
00:25:31,890 --> 00:25:33,810
Am I thinking about the right, the right

801
00:25:33,810 --> 00:25:33,930
magazine?

802
00:25:33,950 --> 00:25:35,530
Don't be mad, it just doesn't matter.

803
00:25:35,890 --> 00:25:37,610
Yeah, there's brutes.

804
00:25:37,630 --> 00:25:38,630
But they're notorious.

805
00:25:38,850 --> 00:25:39,910
I mean, I lived in Chicago when I

806
00:25:39,910 --> 00:25:43,130
was a kid and then you, my parents

807
00:25:43,130 --> 00:25:43,890
were from Chicago.

808
00:25:44,190 --> 00:25:46,390
And you find out certain things like, for

809
00:25:46,390 --> 00:25:49,270
example, on the, there's a bunch of, you

810
00:25:49,270 --> 00:25:52,270
know, bribing the cops is always considered the

811
00:25:52,270 --> 00:25:53,070
thing you always do.

812
00:25:53,130 --> 00:25:54,510
And it's always done the same way.

813
00:25:54,930 --> 00:25:56,730
You keep your driver's license in a little

814
00:25:56,730 --> 00:25:59,990
cellophane pack and there's a $100 bill tucked

815
00:25:59,990 --> 00:26:01,310
behind the driver's license.

816
00:26:02,490 --> 00:26:03,870
And so when you get pulled over for

817
00:26:03,870 --> 00:26:05,790
some, it's usually something stupid.

818
00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:08,770
And it's usually, there's a good element of

819
00:26:08,770 --> 00:26:10,710
this taking place on the route to the

820
00:26:10,710 --> 00:26:11,330
airport.

821
00:26:13,110 --> 00:26:14,990
And it's the funniest thing that's happened.

822
00:26:14,990 --> 00:26:16,270
One time I was.

823
00:26:16,910 --> 00:26:17,810
A new story.

824
00:26:18,010 --> 00:26:19,270
Something we haven't heard yet.

825
00:26:19,930 --> 00:26:21,430
I was driving to the airport and a

826
00:26:21,430 --> 00:26:24,370
cop pulls me over for doing 36 in

827
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,350
a 35 zone or something like that.

828
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:26,870
Yeah.

829
00:26:26,970 --> 00:26:28,010
You know, I was sure you were speeding.

830
00:26:28,190 --> 00:26:29,490
He says, there's this driver's license.

831
00:26:29,670 --> 00:26:30,330
I showed him the license.

832
00:26:30,410 --> 00:26:32,530
He looked, took one look for, he took

833
00:26:32,530 --> 00:26:33,810
a look and he flipped it over to

834
00:26:33,810 --> 00:26:34,950
see if there was any money or anything

835
00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:35,210
attached.

836
00:26:35,270 --> 00:26:36,810
But then he saw it said California.

837
00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:38,250
Oh, yeah.

838
00:26:38,450 --> 00:26:39,750
And he figured I didn't know what the

839
00:26:39,750 --> 00:26:40,450
hell I was doing.

840
00:26:40,510 --> 00:26:41,610
I didn't know how to bribe him.

841
00:26:41,650 --> 00:26:43,090
And so he just gives me the license

842
00:26:43,090 --> 00:26:44,150
back and says, move along.

843
00:26:45,090 --> 00:26:46,090
Got rid of me.

844
00:26:46,090 --> 00:26:47,690
You're wasting his time.

845
00:26:48,030 --> 00:26:49,770
Tina got pulled over the other night.

846
00:26:51,530 --> 00:26:58,290
By a DPS, Department of Public Safety.

847
00:26:59,290 --> 00:27:01,590
So I think the highway patrol falls on

848
00:27:01,590 --> 00:27:03,230
the DPS, but it wasn't highway patrol.

849
00:27:03,310 --> 00:27:04,290
And she got pulled over.

850
00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:07,130
And I know my wife, she's, she's a

851
00:27:07,130 --> 00:27:07,710
rule follower.

852
00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:08,910
It's like you were speeding.

853
00:27:09,410 --> 00:27:10,750
She says, no, I wasn't.

854
00:27:11,050 --> 00:27:13,150
And he's shining the light in her eyes.

855
00:27:13,210 --> 00:27:14,110
It's a Friday night.

856
00:27:14,110 --> 00:27:16,090
So, you know, they expect people to be

857
00:27:16,090 --> 00:27:17,030
drunk on the roads.

858
00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:17,790
Fair enough.

859
00:27:18,350 --> 00:27:19,730
He's like, yeah, you were speeding.

860
00:27:19,850 --> 00:27:21,470
You don't have a front license plate.

861
00:27:23,110 --> 00:27:25,250
This is a big deal in Texas.

862
00:27:25,690 --> 00:27:27,090
There's this ongoing fight.

863
00:27:27,650 --> 00:27:28,790
Like, we don't want it.

864
00:27:28,850 --> 00:27:32,270
We don't want front license plates for some

865
00:27:32,270 --> 00:27:32,610
reason.

866
00:27:33,010 --> 00:27:35,430
And most cars don't really have a spot

867
00:27:35,430 --> 00:27:36,990
for it if you buy them in Texas.

868
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:38,870
And so he gave her a warning.

869
00:27:40,150 --> 00:27:42,390
Like, how could you prove that she was

870
00:27:42,390 --> 00:27:42,630
speeding?

871
00:27:42,690 --> 00:27:43,550
She had no proof.

872
00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:44,890
Harassment.

873
00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:47,490
Harassment of a pretty girl, of course.

874
00:27:48,890 --> 00:27:50,310
So no payoffs here.

875
00:27:50,670 --> 00:27:51,490
Try that.

876
00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:52,810
I wonder if that'll work in Texas.

877
00:27:52,970 --> 00:27:55,350
Try and pay off a cop.

878
00:27:55,430 --> 00:27:56,290
I don't think that'll work.

879
00:27:57,310 --> 00:28:02,390
Anyway, we continue with this lady about what's

880
00:28:02,390 --> 00:28:03,230
happening in Chicago.

881
00:28:03,510 --> 00:28:04,450
He has surged.

882
00:28:04,530 --> 00:28:07,250
The federal government has surged agents from different

883
00:28:07,250 --> 00:28:07,610
groups.

884
00:28:07,710 --> 00:28:10,130
The FBI said yesterday they're sending folks in.

885
00:28:10,940 --> 00:28:13,230
Tell me about these protests, because the images

886
00:28:13,230 --> 00:28:16,890
look pretty intense of what has happened between

887
00:28:16,890 --> 00:28:19,030
people on the streets of Chicago.

888
00:28:19,190 --> 00:28:21,210
We're showing some of that video now around

889
00:28:21,210 --> 00:28:22,410
immigration issues.

890
00:28:22,790 --> 00:28:26,190
As I understand, yesterday, ICE authorities shot a

891
00:28:26,190 --> 00:28:28,710
Chicago woman in the Brighton Park area.

892
00:28:29,270 --> 00:28:33,050
Secretary Nome claimed ICE fired defensive shots at

893
00:28:33,050 --> 00:28:34,690
this woman who was armed, who had appeared

894
00:28:34,690 --> 00:28:37,710
in a Border Patrol intelligence bulletin previously.

895
00:28:38,410 --> 00:28:41,630
She claims that federal agents were surrounded and

896
00:28:41,630 --> 00:28:42,370
were threatened.

897
00:28:42,930 --> 00:28:45,650
What are local authorities telling you about what

898
00:28:45,650 --> 00:28:46,810
they think happened here?

899
00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:49,150
Well, they lie, right?

900
00:28:49,270 --> 00:28:50,470
The Trump administration lies.

901
00:28:50,590 --> 00:28:51,970
We have a president who's a known liar.

902
00:28:53,150 --> 00:28:55,890
And I'm questioning if this isn't Macy Hirono.

903
00:28:56,970 --> 00:28:58,030
How can this be?

904
00:28:58,250 --> 00:29:00,250
I mean, that's not Macy Hirono.

905
00:29:00,490 --> 00:29:02,110
Macy Hirono, you're correct.

906
00:29:02,110 --> 00:29:05,690
She talks slower, and she has more of

907
00:29:05,690 --> 00:29:07,770
a sing-song voice.

908
00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:12,230
And she is incredibly—and she just sounds dumb.

909
00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:13,610
Is this a milieu, maybe?

910
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:14,690
A milieu thing?

911
00:29:15,370 --> 00:29:18,530
Well, the Hawaiian accent is very noticeable.

912
00:29:18,770 --> 00:29:22,330
It's also very reminiscent of various American Indian

913
00:29:22,330 --> 00:29:23,330
tribe accents.

914
00:29:23,770 --> 00:29:25,090
It up-talks a bit.

915
00:29:25,710 --> 00:29:28,890
It can be slow and plodding.

916
00:29:28,930 --> 00:29:30,050
It's a plodding accent.

917
00:29:30,050 --> 00:29:34,910
It can be extremely annoying, and it can

918
00:29:34,910 --> 00:29:36,290
sometimes sound stupid.

919
00:29:37,530 --> 00:29:38,090
Bingo.

920
00:29:39,390 --> 00:29:41,290
They've been lying about the situation all along.

921
00:29:41,690 --> 00:29:44,490
And in fact, they even shot tear grenades,

922
00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:46,350
tear gas grenades, I think, at a reporter

923
00:29:46,350 --> 00:29:48,230
who was simply driving by with her window

924
00:29:48,230 --> 00:29:48,670
open.

925
00:29:49,530 --> 00:29:52,470
And so we're urging people, we're urging our

926
00:29:52,470 --> 00:29:56,030
protesters, remain calm, peaceful protest, exercise your First

927
00:29:56,030 --> 00:29:59,210
Amendment rights, but videotape everything.

928
00:29:59,210 --> 00:30:00,090
Everybody has a phone.

929
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:02,010
Tape everything so that we actually have real

930
00:30:02,010 --> 00:30:03,430
evidence of what is happening.

931
00:30:03,910 --> 00:30:06,090
We know the Trump administration lies consistently.

932
00:30:06,850 --> 00:30:08,550
And what I am hearing is that, for

933
00:30:08,550 --> 00:30:10,590
the large part, people are being very quiet,

934
00:30:10,790 --> 00:30:12,070
are being very respectful.

935
00:30:12,670 --> 00:30:14,130
But ISIS is being very aggressive.

936
00:30:14,330 --> 00:30:16,190
Remember that they are zip-tying children.

937
00:30:16,570 --> 00:30:16,690
Children!

938
00:30:16,890 --> 00:30:18,630
They are raiding apartment blocks in the middle

939
00:30:18,630 --> 00:30:20,830
of the night, separating children from their families,

940
00:30:21,250 --> 00:30:23,010
pulling people out onto the streets naked.

941
00:30:23,370 --> 00:30:23,550
Whoa!

942
00:30:23,570 --> 00:30:27,310
They are using— —exemplar tactics in Chicago.

943
00:30:27,310 --> 00:30:29,130
And this is what Trump wants to do,

944
00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:29,290
right?

945
00:30:29,310 --> 00:30:30,790
He wants to intimidate the people of Chicago.

946
00:30:30,930 --> 00:30:31,950
That's not going to happen.

947
00:30:32,470 --> 00:30:34,710
And we're going to document everything and make

948
00:30:34,710 --> 00:30:37,770
sure, just as the judge in Portland said,

949
00:30:38,030 --> 00:30:42,150
that these requirements, these orders from the Trump

950
00:30:42,150 --> 00:30:44,410
administration are not actually tied to reality.

951
00:30:44,850 --> 00:30:45,110
Okay.

952
00:30:45,670 --> 00:30:47,330
So I think this is really just a

953
00:30:47,330 --> 00:30:47,870
lead-in.

954
00:30:48,450 --> 00:30:51,670
And there is a form of get comfortable

955
00:30:51,670 --> 00:30:56,250
with it, Chicago and Memphis and Oregon.

956
00:30:56,450 --> 00:30:58,350
Get comfortable with it because we're going after

957
00:30:58,350 --> 00:30:58,750
crime.

958
00:30:59,790 --> 00:31:03,070
And I've been doing a little bit of

959
00:31:03,070 --> 00:31:05,390
looking around here and there.

960
00:31:06,090 --> 00:31:10,230
And I found this clip of Stephen Miller.

961
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,660
And it kind of fits— Stephen Miller, the

962
00:31:14,660 --> 00:31:15,940
guy, the Trump administration guy?

963
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:16,600
Yeah, that guy.

964
00:31:16,820 --> 00:31:19,120
He has a tick—he has Tourette's, by the

965
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:19,300
way.

966
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:20,760
Oh, he's a brother.

967
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:23,560
His tick—I can tell you what his tick

968
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:24,980
is and people can start to look for

969
00:31:24,980 --> 00:31:25,160
it.

970
00:31:25,260 --> 00:31:25,440
Yeah.

971
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:29,620
He has—his head will be talking to you

972
00:31:29,620 --> 00:31:33,700
and then he will have an uncontrollable jerk

973
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,420
of his entire head down about, I'd say,

974
00:31:39,580 --> 00:31:41,740
a quarter of an inch and over to

975
00:31:41,740 --> 00:31:42,280
the right.

976
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,220
Always to the right.

977
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:43,760
His right.

978
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:44,320
Okay.

979
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,760
About another quarter of an inch.

980
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,920
So he'll do it when he gets a

981
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,240
little nervous, he'll start to do it.

982
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,580
And he can do it two times in

983
00:31:52,580 --> 00:31:52,900
a row.

984
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,460
But it's an obvious—and I consider myself an

985
00:31:58,460 --> 00:32:00,240
expert on this, having worked with somebody for

986
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,760
almost 20 years who has Tourette's.

987
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,320
Who would that be?

988
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,360
But also I saw that long documentary and

989
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,200
I've kind of considered myself an expert.

990
00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:08,900
You're an expert.

991
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,880
But I spot this stuff and if you

992
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,200
see it, once you see it, you'll agree

993
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:12,540
with me.

994
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:13,660
Yes.

995
00:32:13,780 --> 00:32:15,440
Well, so there's hope for me in politics.

996
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,600
That can have a job in the White

997
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:17,880
House.

998
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,040
Here's what he said.

999
00:32:19,260 --> 00:32:21,880
To the Memphis Police Department, to the officers

1000
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,260
that I see sitting in front of me,

1001
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,880
we are about to provide you with a

1002
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,340
level of support you cannot even imagine.

1003
00:32:30,060 --> 00:32:31,800
This isn't just a task force.

1004
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,020
This is an all-of-government, unlimited support

1005
00:32:36,020 --> 00:32:36,660
operation.

1006
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:42,880
ATF, DEA, FBI, ICE, Department of War, every

1007
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:43,940
resource we have.

1008
00:32:43,940 --> 00:32:46,460
And they're not going to be sitting behind

1009
00:32:46,460 --> 00:32:48,200
a desk at a keyboard.

1010
00:32:48,860 --> 00:32:51,860
We are sending in real cops with guns

1011
00:32:51,860 --> 00:32:54,340
and badges to go out with you on

1012
00:32:54,340 --> 00:32:56,780
the street every single night making arrests.

1013
00:32:57,300 --> 00:32:59,680
These are people who have taken down drug

1014
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,480
cartels, kingpins, the worst criminal offenders in the

1015
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,200
United States, standing with you shoulder to shoulder

1016
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:07,920
to shoulder.

1017
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,680
All we ask from you is to show

1018
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,560
up at roll call every single night with

1019
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,800
your brothers and sisters in the federal government

1020
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,780
and to go out and get the criminals

1021
00:33:17,780 --> 00:33:18,720
off the street.

1022
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,960
And if you do that, I pledge to

1023
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,020
you, we will liberate this city from the

1024
00:33:24,020 --> 00:33:25,980
criminal element that has plagued it for generations.

1025
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,880
This is not just a strategy shift.

1026
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:31,060
This is an attitude shift.

1027
00:33:31,860 --> 00:33:33,520
We are not going to live in an

1028
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,260
environment anywhere where there is a street that

1029
00:33:37,260 --> 00:33:39,360
belongs to a criminal, where there is a

1030
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,700
neighborhood that belongs to a gang, where there

1031
00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:45,120
is any physical space anywhere that belongs to

1032
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,060
anyone other than the law abiding citizens and

1033
00:33:48,060 --> 00:33:48,920
families of Memphis.

1034
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,180
The idea that there is a square inch

1035
00:33:52,180 --> 00:33:54,860
of block in this city where a citizen

1036
00:33:54,860 --> 00:33:56,840
doesn't feel safe is unacceptable.

1037
00:33:57,540 --> 00:33:58,480
This is Memphis.

1038
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,540
This is the United States of America.

1039
00:34:00,780 --> 00:34:02,820
And all that bullshit is done.

1040
00:34:02,980 --> 00:34:03,660
It's over.

1041
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:04,620
It's finished.

1042
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,159
There's your Tourette's right there.

1043
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,159
Bullshit.

1044
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,520
So this is actually part of something much

1045
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:12,260
bigger, I believe.

1046
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,560
And I'm going to get to the North

1047
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:14,800
Sea Nexus on this one.

1048
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,440
We heard this mentioned a while back during

1049
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,860
maybe one of those, I don't know, A

1050
00:34:22,860 --> 00:34:25,800
.G. Barbie things where they all of a

1051
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,260
sudden, Kash Patel started talking about Operation Summer

1052
00:34:28,260 --> 00:34:28,639
Heat.

1053
00:34:28,860 --> 00:34:29,920
Do you recall that?

1054
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:32,639
I think we know.

1055
00:34:32,780 --> 00:34:34,500
I can't keep track of all these operations.

1056
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,940
Well, so this op has been going on

1057
00:34:36,940 --> 00:34:39,159
for the summer and here's Kash Patel to

1058
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:40,040
bring us up to speed.

1059
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:41,880
As I said, this is breaking news.

1060
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:43,540
We've kept it quiet for the summer.

1061
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,739
Operation Summer Heat was a three month surge

1062
00:34:46,739 --> 00:34:48,840
by the FBI with our state local partners.

1063
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,340
We start at the end of June and

1064
00:34:50,340 --> 00:34:51,440
we just wrapped up at the end of

1065
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:51,820
September.

1066
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,080
And what we did was follow one theme,

1067
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:55,600
crushing violent crime.

1068
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,680
One of this administration's key priorities.

1069
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,880
And we went into every single field office.

1070
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,540
We have 55 field offices scattered across the

1071
00:35:03,540 --> 00:35:03,820
country.

1072
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:05,740
And today we're going to unveil the results

1073
00:35:05,740 --> 00:35:06,900
of Operation Summer Heat.

1074
00:35:06,900 --> 00:35:08,700
And what law enforcement can do when you

1075
00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:09,720
let good cops be cops.

1076
00:35:09,860 --> 00:35:11,860
I think a quick historical analysis is important

1077
00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:12,180
here.

1078
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,360
You have to recognize that there was an

1079
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,540
explosion in violent crime and it didn't happen

1080
00:35:16,540 --> 00:35:17,800
in a month or six months.

1081
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,180
It happened over the course of years due

1082
00:35:20,180 --> 00:35:24,200
to the prior administration's laxicodasical approach against crime.

1083
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,280
Did he say laxicodasical?

1084
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,820
It's a new one.

1085
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,980
Course of years due to the prior administration's

1086
00:35:30,980 --> 00:35:35,080
laxicodasical approach against crime and violent criminals took

1087
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,120
advantage of that.

1088
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,520
So the FBI, under my leadership, we came

1089
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,200
in and said, OK, violent crime is exploding.

1090
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:41,980
Everybody knows that.

1091
00:35:42,060 --> 00:35:42,580
We see that.

1092
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,980
You can't walk around these cities anymore.

1093
00:35:44,140 --> 00:35:44,800
People are getting shot.

1094
00:35:44,940 --> 00:35:45,640
Kids are getting shot.

1095
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,700
Drugs are killing our youth.

1096
00:35:47,220 --> 00:35:48,800
We need to do what the FBI is

1097
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,140
best at and crush violent crime.

1098
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:52,340
So we targeted all the major cities in

1099
00:35:52,340 --> 00:35:52,740
the country.

1100
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:54,380
You can't just walk into a city and

1101
00:35:54,380 --> 00:35:57,300
say, OK, there's 150 law enforcement officers here.

1102
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,060
Let's go arrest people.

1103
00:35:58,260 --> 00:35:59,600
You have to build a ground game of

1104
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:00,780
intelligence that takes months.

1105
00:36:00,860 --> 00:36:01,740
That's what we did in Memphis.

1106
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,460
That's what we did in Chicago.

1107
00:36:03,580 --> 00:36:04,800
That's what we did in New Orleans.

1108
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,880
And that's why at President Trump's direction, we

1109
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,960
went in quietly months ago into these cities

1110
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,260
to set phase 01.

1111
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,940
Now we're going in with the Guard to

1112
00:36:13,940 --> 00:36:14,820
complete that project.

1113
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,280
And that's the beauty of operations like Summer

1114
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:17,420
Heat.

1115
00:36:17,660 --> 00:36:19,560
OK, so they've been at this for a

1116
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,120
couple of months.

1117
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,140
They've been setting it up.

1118
00:36:21,220 --> 00:36:24,140
And of course, this is in large part

1119
00:36:24,140 --> 00:36:26,000
about drugs, because that's what most of the

1120
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,520
gang activity is related to.

1121
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,000
And here are the results so far.

1122
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,540
Summer Heat had 8,700 arrests.

1123
00:36:33,090 --> 00:36:36,020
In three months, Summer Heat had 2,281

1124
00:36:36,020 --> 00:36:38,360
firearms seized permanently off our streets.

1125
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:40,960
Three months, fentanyl, 421 kilograms.

1126
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,180
By the way, that's enough to kill over

1127
00:36:42,180 --> 00:36:43,140
50 million Americans.

1128
00:36:43,980 --> 00:36:45,060
50 million.

1129
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,080
On the low end, that's a conservative estimate.

1130
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,700
Lethal doses off that seizure.

1131
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,000
45,000 kilograms of cocaine.

1132
00:36:52,660 --> 00:36:56,060
We conducted operations that led us to 2

1133
00:36:56,060 --> 00:36:58,580
,000 indictments and 1,400 convictions.

1134
00:36:58,980 --> 00:37:00,680
And the bulk of that work came from

1135
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,260
our violent crime and gang forces.

1136
00:37:02,540 --> 00:37:04,740
I want to highlight that because that was

1137
00:37:04,740 --> 00:37:06,060
the focus of Summer Heat.

1138
00:37:06,460 --> 00:37:10,020
6,500 of this casework came specifically out

1139
00:37:10,020 --> 00:37:10,220
of that.

1140
00:37:10,340 --> 00:37:12,300
And here's something that's not on this chart.

1141
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:17,580
Operation Summer Heat found and located almost 1

1142
00:37:17,580 --> 00:37:20,580
,000 child victims and returned them to safety.

1143
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,320
Sexual trafficking?

1144
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,040
Victims of sexual trafficking.

1145
00:37:24,260 --> 00:37:25,860
Victims of home abuse.

1146
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,260
Victims of rape and violent crimes against children.

1147
00:37:29,260 --> 00:37:31,420
So a couple of people sent me this

1148
00:37:31,420 --> 00:37:35,560
Substack article about how Trump is rolling up

1149
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,880
the drug scourge once and for all.

1150
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,860
And it was very interesting because it points

1151
00:37:40,860 --> 00:37:43,920
directly back to the city of London and

1152
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,100
really the Panama Papers, interestingly, about how there's

1153
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:51,340
$50 to $75 trillion that has been made

1154
00:37:51,340 --> 00:37:52,440
through drug trade.

1155
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,060
A lot of that, of course, went to

1156
00:37:54,060 --> 00:37:54,740
our streets.

1157
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,400
You know, we typically, oh, fentanyl, blame China.

1158
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,960
But if you really, and we've always looked

1159
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,800
at the, you know, I think I've said

1160
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,000
many times in the past, if you stop

1161
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,920
the illegal drug trade, our country would collapse.

1162
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:10,900
You know, the economy runs on drugs and

1163
00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:14,460
probably most, the world economy runs on illicit

1164
00:38:14,460 --> 00:38:18,180
drugs and to some degree on legal drugs,

1165
00:38:18,260 --> 00:38:18,900
certainly here.

1166
00:38:19,020 --> 00:38:20,840
We got everybody on some kind of drug.

1167
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,040
And as I'm thinking about, we're also, we're

1168
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,780
now in season six, last season of Downton

1169
00:38:27,780 --> 00:38:28,080
Abbey.

1170
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,640
This is 1925 now.

1171
00:38:30,740 --> 00:38:36,260
You kind of look at the royal extensions

1172
00:38:36,260 --> 00:38:38,660
of the royal family, the British elite and

1173
00:38:38,660 --> 00:38:40,560
their houses are starting to crumble.

1174
00:38:40,660 --> 00:38:42,880
They're running out of money because they never

1175
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:43,400
worked.

1176
00:38:43,940 --> 00:38:44,880
You know, how'd they get the money?

1177
00:38:44,980 --> 00:38:46,240
Well, they were all part of the East

1178
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:47,000
India Company.

1179
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,700
And of course they had the opium wars

1180
00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:51,920
on China, which is their favorite way of

1181
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:52,480
doing it.

1182
00:38:52,980 --> 00:38:54,740
You know, they hooked, what was it?

1183
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,000
40 million Chinese on opium.

1184
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,940
They transport all the slaves to the new

1185
00:38:59,940 --> 00:39:00,400
world.

1186
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,400
As an aside, very prominent in the series

1187
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,820
is the hatred for the Jews and for

1188
00:39:06,820 --> 00:39:07,340
the Catholics.

1189
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,280
Of course they were Irish Catholics and hated

1190
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,180
the new world success, which, you know, it's

1191
00:39:12,180 --> 00:39:13,220
only been a hundred years.

1192
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,700
And as I've said, I don't think that

1193
00:39:15,700 --> 00:39:17,600
has stopped that hatred of our success.

1194
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,760
So they continue what they're very good at

1195
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:21,800
is the drug trade.

1196
00:39:21,820 --> 00:39:23,840
And, you know, maybe we can screw America

1197
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:24,420
this way.

1198
00:39:24,420 --> 00:39:26,260
And I got three clips here from my

1199
00:39:26,260 --> 00:39:29,660
favorite old ladies, Promethean Action, who gave us

1200
00:39:29,660 --> 00:39:33,760
a little rundown on the concept from the

1201
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,540
North Sea Nexus.

1202
00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:38,040
And we start with a famous guy, Bertrand

1203
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:38,360
Russell.

1204
00:39:38,540 --> 00:39:39,780
Can you give me a little background on

1205
00:39:39,780 --> 00:39:40,400
Bertrand Russell?

1206
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:46,820
Yeah, Bertrand Russell was a, who lived to

1207
00:39:46,820 --> 00:39:49,100
be about a hundred and made the claim

1208
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:52,360
that he didn't like eating meat because it

1209
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,320
was eating a corpse.

1210
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,380
Oh, I thought you meant that he'd rather

1211
00:39:57,380 --> 00:39:58,000
eat a corpse.

1212
00:39:58,100 --> 00:39:59,400
No, I understand what you're saying, yeah.

1213
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:05,080
And he wrote a lot of plays and

1214
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,160
was a top notch, one of the top

1215
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:10,400
intellectuals out of the UK.

1216
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,340
He was considered the creme de la creme

1217
00:40:13,340 --> 00:40:14,980
of the great thinkers.

1218
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,080
So I could have read this, but the

1219
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,360
Promethean Action ladies, they read it for us.

1220
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,440
So here's a little excerpt from Bertrand Russell.

1221
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,520
I just want to talk about three people

1222
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:28,080
today, Bertrand Russell, Aldous Huxley, and George Soros.

1223
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,240
The three of them together described the cultural

1224
00:40:31,240 --> 00:40:34,220
attack our nation has suffered since our elites

1225
00:40:34,220 --> 00:40:38,580
declared the post-industrial society in 1971 and

1226
00:40:38,580 --> 00:40:40,020
sold us out.

1227
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,600
By the way, 1971 is an interesting year.

1228
00:40:43,180 --> 00:40:45,380
That's the year we got off the gold

1229
00:40:45,380 --> 00:40:45,860
standard.

1230
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,180
I just wanted to mention that I found

1231
00:40:48,180 --> 00:40:49,640
that to be very coincidental.

1232
00:40:50,340 --> 00:40:53,920
Here's Lord Russell in 1951 in his work,

1233
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,280
The Impact of Science on Society, describing the

1234
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,740
future as he saw it.

1235
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,940
I think the subject which will be of

1236
00:41:00,940 --> 00:41:03,540
most importance politically is mass psychology.

1237
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,960
Its importance has been enormously increased by the

1238
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,060
growth of modern methods of propaganda.

1239
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,260
Of these, the most influential is what is

1240
00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:13,800
called education.

1241
00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:16,620
The subject will make great strides when it

1242
00:41:16,620 --> 00:41:19,340
is taken up by scientists under a scientific

1243
00:41:19,340 --> 00:41:20,540
dictatorship.

1244
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,720
Sounds like Common Core and Bill Gates to

1245
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:23,980
me.

1246
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,680
The social psychologists of the future will have

1247
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,140
a number of classes of school children on

1248
00:41:29,140 --> 00:41:31,740
whom they will try different methods of producing

1249
00:41:31,740 --> 00:41:35,220
an unshakable conviction that snow is black.

1250
00:41:35,980 --> 00:41:38,220
Various results will soon be arrived at.

1251
00:41:38,580 --> 00:41:41,220
First, that the influence of the home is

1252
00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:41,940
obstructive.

1253
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,000
Second, that not much can be done unless

1254
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,780
indoctrination begins before the age of 10.

1255
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,200
Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly

1256
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,020
intoned are very effective.

1257
00:41:53,660 --> 00:41:56,380
Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white

1258
00:41:56,380 --> 00:41:59,020
must be held to show a morbid sense

1259
00:41:59,020 --> 00:42:00,200
of eccentricity.

1260
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,120
Sounds very familiar to me when I hear

1261
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:03,920
all these things.

1262
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,060
You know, break up the home.

1263
00:42:05,180 --> 00:42:06,380
I like the song thing.

1264
00:42:06,460 --> 00:42:08,320
I should do a little note on the

1265
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:08,420
side.

1266
00:42:08,420 --> 00:42:09,480
Please do.

1267
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Which is, if you've ever visited, well, nobody

1268
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,100
does, but I was at Scott Adams' house

1269
00:42:16,100 --> 00:42:20,220
and I noticed that he never has any,

1270
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,000
of course, I don't.

1271
00:42:21,180 --> 00:42:23,040
I have, in my house, I have-

1272
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:23,240
Classical music.

1273
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,220
24-7 classical music.

1274
00:42:25,380 --> 00:42:27,760
I have music playing in my house, 24

1275
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,180
-7 classical music.

1276
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,500
And it's for various reasons.

1277
00:42:31,660 --> 00:42:32,340
It's good for you.

1278
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,540
One thing, the low notes keep varmints out.

1279
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:35,920
That's for one thing, especially if you have

1280
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:36,760
a couple of 15-inch subwoofers.

1281
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:37,300
Wait a minute.

1282
00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:38,380
Hold on a second.

1283
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:39,720
You'll never have problems.

1284
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,860
The low notes keep the varmints out?

1285
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,620
Bugs or mice and rats?

1286
00:42:44,980 --> 00:42:45,280
Bugs.

1287
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:45,660
Bugs.

1288
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,640
So, this is a tip of the day.

1289
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:50,840
That's a good tip, by the way.

1290
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,120
Classical music will keep bugs out of your

1291
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:53,300
house.

1292
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:53,580
Okay.

1293
00:42:53,740 --> 00:42:56,020
Well, if you have, yes, but I'm using

1294
00:42:56,020 --> 00:42:59,540
some down thrusting 15-inch woofers in the

1295
00:42:59,540 --> 00:42:59,880
house.

1296
00:42:59,940 --> 00:43:00,780
That's what you want.

1297
00:43:00,820 --> 00:43:02,620
It creates a subsonic sound that the bugs

1298
00:43:02,620 --> 00:43:03,120
don't like.

1299
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:04,840
And does it matter?

1300
00:43:05,060 --> 00:43:07,260
Can it be Vivaldi or does it have

1301
00:43:07,260 --> 00:43:07,920
to be Wagner?

1302
00:43:08,660 --> 00:43:11,820
We have a couple of classical streaming stations.

1303
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,680
I just play everything, all the classical music.

1304
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,360
And also, they can't hear the cries from

1305
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:17,720
the basement, which is kind of good.

1306
00:43:17,940 --> 00:43:19,180
Yeah, they're very useful.

1307
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,480
And so, Adams never has any, I said,

1308
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,140
I don't know how it came up in

1309
00:43:27,140 --> 00:43:30,280
the conversation, but he says, no, it's just

1310
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,360
all, he says, you shouldn't play music because

1311
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:34,100
it's all propaganda.

1312
00:43:34,340 --> 00:43:35,680
He's not talking about classical.

1313
00:43:35,780 --> 00:43:37,040
He's talking about pop music.

1314
00:43:37,220 --> 00:43:38,720
People are always playing, you know, they got

1315
00:43:38,720 --> 00:43:40,680
their headphones on, they're all popping around.

1316
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,320
And he's of the opinion that it's all

1317
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:48,020
subconsciously designed propaganda, that you should not be

1318
00:43:48,020 --> 00:43:51,520
subjecting yourself to 24-7, especially, you know,

1319
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,140
if you're going or floating around.

1320
00:43:53,620 --> 00:43:56,320
And that's what I think is what Bertrand

1321
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,240
Russell said there in his commentary.

1322
00:43:58,520 --> 00:43:59,980
Well, especially the beats part.

1323
00:44:00,100 --> 00:44:01,660
I mean, listen, I mean, there's a whole

1324
00:44:01,660 --> 00:44:04,620
category of songs about smack your bitch up

1325
00:44:04,620 --> 00:44:06,560
and, you know, killing each other.

1326
00:44:06,900 --> 00:44:07,980
And, you know, it's called hip hop.

1327
00:44:07,980 --> 00:44:08,700
It's a lot of violence.

1328
00:44:08,860 --> 00:44:10,020
It's called modern hip hop.

1329
00:44:10,020 --> 00:44:11,000
It's very violent.

1330
00:44:12,500 --> 00:44:15,460
So, and it's definitely with beats.

1331
00:44:15,660 --> 00:44:16,520
Okay, so that's one.

1332
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:18,640
Aldous Huxley, of course, no stranger to the

1333
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:18,880
show.

1334
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,700
Aldous Huxley was part of Russell's nest in

1335
00:44:21,700 --> 00:44:24,600
British intelligence, along with the same Ms. Alyssa

1336
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:25,220
Crowley.

1337
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,480
He played a huge role in the 1970s

1338
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,180
counterculture.

1339
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,580
Speaking to a 1961 conference sponsored by the

1340
00:44:32,580 --> 00:44:35,400
Voice of America, Huxley said the following, there

1341
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,620
will be in the next generation or so,

1342
00:44:37,620 --> 00:44:40,900
a pharmacological method of making people love their

1343
00:44:40,900 --> 00:44:45,900
servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to

1344
00:44:45,900 --> 00:44:49,760
speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp

1345
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,060
for entire societies so that the people will,

1346
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,320
in fact, have their liberties taken away from

1347
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,520
them, but will rather enjoy it because they

1348
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,120
will be distracted from any desire to rebel

1349
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,760
by propaganda or brainwashing or brainwashing enhanced by

1350
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,240
pharmacological methods.

1351
00:45:07,620 --> 00:45:10,260
And this seems to be the final revolution.

1352
00:45:11,100 --> 00:45:12,940
And I'd say that's spot on.

1353
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:18,920
I mean, Adderall, Ritalin, the micro dosing of

1354
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,340
ketamine.

1355
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,760
I mean, all of this is going on.

1356
00:45:23,860 --> 00:45:27,580
And that kind of folds into Neil Postman's

1357
00:45:27,580 --> 00:45:30,640
amusing ourselves to death, you know, because now

1358
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,860
I'd say the pharmacological piece is one part,

1359
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,080
but we also have the doom scrolling is

1360
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,200
another part, which kind of shifts the responsibility

1361
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:39,980
a little bit.

1362
00:45:40,060 --> 00:45:41,880
But I just thought, yeah, OK, that makes

1363
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,820
sense that all those Huxley would say that.

1364
00:45:44,140 --> 00:45:45,680
And of course, we can't leave out the

1365
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,980
mega Brit George Soros.

1366
00:45:48,380 --> 00:45:51,120
George Soros' career has been sponsored at all

1367
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,080
times by major British financiers, including the Rothschilds

1368
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:55,720
and the Queen.

1369
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,140
He's played a major public role in implementing

1370
00:45:59,140 --> 00:46:02,100
this policy in the US and Latin America,

1371
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,680
along with the US and British governments.

1372
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:09,440
From 1979 forward, Soros, through his Drug Policy

1373
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:14,520
Institute, led campaigns for drug decriminalization and legalization.

1374
00:46:14,980 --> 00:46:18,020
When you hear someone say the war on

1375
00:46:18,020 --> 00:46:20,180
drugs is a waste of money and an

1376
00:46:20,180 --> 00:46:24,100
offense to personal freedom, that's the manufactured belief

1377
00:46:24,100 --> 00:46:25,820
this campaign created.

1378
00:46:26,260 --> 00:46:29,600
In addition, Soros, the National Endowment for Democracy

1379
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:34,340
and USAID led campaigns throughout Latin America to

1380
00:46:34,340 --> 00:46:38,080
overthrow nationalist governments and support the drug cartels.

1381
00:46:38,460 --> 00:46:40,880
This picture showing the head of the New

1382
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,460
York Stock Exchange embracing Raul Reyes of the

1383
00:46:44,460 --> 00:46:48,000
drug running FARC in Colombia speaks a thousand

1384
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:48,600
words.

1385
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,580
So if I look at the second Trump

1386
00:46:50,580 --> 00:46:53,940
administration's track records, you know, Department of Education,

1387
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,140
USAID, now going after the drugs on the

1388
00:46:58,140 --> 00:47:00,400
street, but not just on the street.

1389
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,380
This really hasn't gotten a lot of play

1390
00:47:02,380 --> 00:47:03,220
because of the shutdown.

1391
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,960
It's gotten to play, and that's the drug

1392
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:06,880
boats from Venezuela.

1393
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,900
Admiral, I want to ask you about, in

1394
00:47:08,900 --> 00:47:11,540
terms of Venezuela, you've seen those attacks, those

1395
00:47:11,540 --> 00:47:14,480
US strikes on boats that the president said

1396
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,740
are drug smugglers, are drug traffickers, drug cartels.

1397
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,360
What's your take on that?

1398
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,860
Well, we always, people think of me as

1399
00:47:22,860 --> 00:47:25,580
the NATO guy, but I spent almost four

1400
00:47:25,580 --> 00:47:27,480
years as commander of Southern Command.

1401
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,220
I would have been in charge of those

1402
00:47:29,220 --> 00:47:29,960
operations.

1403
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,720
As a commander, you're thinking, what are we

1404
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:33,960
trying to do here?

1405
00:47:34,500 --> 00:47:36,840
I think what we're trying to do tactically

1406
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,280
is knock down drugs.

1407
00:47:38,620 --> 00:47:40,780
We're trying to deter drug smugglers.

1408
00:47:40,940 --> 00:47:42,860
We're trying to send a pretty strong signal

1409
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:45,760
to Maduro, and we're sending a larger signal

1410
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,320
to Cuba and Nicaragua.

1411
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,000
So I can see the impetus for all

1412
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:50,280
this.

1413
00:47:50,620 --> 00:47:52,940
My concern would be, if I were the

1414
00:47:52,940 --> 00:47:56,440
commander right now, how strong is the evidence

1415
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,760
that I'm holding in hand that can allow

1416
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,400
me to consider these people enemy combatants?

1417
00:48:03,500 --> 00:48:05,560
We really haven't seen much of that evidence.

1418
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,280
I think the administration would be wise to

1419
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,900
release at least some of that so they

1420
00:48:10,900 --> 00:48:14,000
can justify these kind of extremely aggressive military

1421
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:14,420
strikes.

1422
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,680
And just quickly, if you can, the legality

1423
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,980
of this, he says that it is an

1424
00:48:18,980 --> 00:48:22,060
armed conflict with drug cartels.

1425
00:48:23,260 --> 00:48:24,980
It's right on the edge.

1426
00:48:24,980 --> 00:48:29,080
And that is why, see paragraph one, let's

1427
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,480
get the evidence out, not the sources and

1428
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,200
methods, but what are we basing this on?

1429
00:48:34,340 --> 00:48:37,140
And then let's also capture a few of

1430
00:48:37,140 --> 00:48:39,820
them alongside the more aggressive means because you

1431
00:48:39,820 --> 00:48:40,740
want the intelligence.

1432
00:48:41,060 --> 00:48:42,980
You want to be able to interrogate.

1433
00:48:43,060 --> 00:48:44,940
You want to be able to hold those

1434
00:48:44,940 --> 00:48:48,280
drug smugglers accountable in our court system.

1435
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,220
So it's right on the edge.

1436
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,820
It's really interesting the amount of people who

1437
00:48:52,820 --> 00:48:55,040
are pushing back on this blowing up the

1438
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,280
drug smuggling boats.

1439
00:48:57,860 --> 00:48:59,640
You know, oh, well, you know, Trump's just

1440
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,880
killing people willy nilly and this can't be

1441
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:02,420
done.

1442
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,840
And I'm like, why do I find it?

1443
00:49:06,020 --> 00:49:08,000
Well, I find the contrast to be interesting

1444
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,240
here is because of what Obama did with

1445
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:11,180
his kill list.

1446
00:49:11,260 --> 00:49:12,700
Yeah, one every Tuesday.

1447
00:49:13,300 --> 00:49:15,520
And he would blow these guys up all

1448
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,060
over the place in sovereign.

1449
00:49:17,300 --> 00:49:18,880
He wouldn't do it on the open seas.

1450
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,740
He would be in a sovereign country, blow

1451
00:49:21,740 --> 00:49:22,720
up a bunch of guys.

1452
00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:26,280
And then he did, which was really disgusting,

1453
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:27,580
was the double tap.

1454
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:28,120
Yes.

1455
00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:29,900
Yes, exactly.

1456
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:31,860
The minute they came back.

1457
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,420
When help came in.

1458
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:35,660
Yeah.

1459
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:37,400
When this when the as soon as they

1460
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,360
said they blow up a pack, what he

1461
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,960
said was a bunch of terrorists.

1462
00:49:41,140 --> 00:49:42,460
And, you know, may or may not have

1463
00:49:42,460 --> 00:49:42,680
been.

1464
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,820
And he decides to blow them up.

1465
00:49:44,860 --> 00:49:47,020
He blows them up with the drone, with

1466
00:49:47,020 --> 00:49:48,320
a predator drone.

1467
00:49:48,500 --> 00:49:50,080
And he joked about it in one of

1468
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,240
the correspondence centers about predator drones.

1469
00:49:52,720 --> 00:49:54,360
Blows them up and then they wait.

1470
00:49:54,780 --> 00:49:55,020
Wow.

1471
00:49:55,140 --> 00:49:58,800
So all the all the ambulances and Red

1472
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:02,100
Cross or Red Crescent, whatever comes to help

1473
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:04,420
these people, then they hit them again to

1474
00:50:04,420 --> 00:50:05,580
kill those people.

1475
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,760
That seems a little more extreme, especially on

1476
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,700
a sovereign nation than blowing up a boat

1477
00:50:11,700 --> 00:50:14,100
on the open waters, which they're making a

1478
00:50:14,100 --> 00:50:14,900
big fuss about.

1479
00:50:14,980 --> 00:50:15,900
But let's come on.

1480
00:50:15,940 --> 00:50:18,380
Let's go back and be realistic here.

1481
00:50:18,460 --> 00:50:19,340
If we're going to be critical.

1482
00:50:19,340 --> 00:50:21,120
And of course, we saw some of that

1483
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:26,300
in the in the videotape that Glenn Greenwald

1484
00:50:26,300 --> 00:50:26,640
got.

1485
00:50:26,700 --> 00:50:28,200
They also showed the video of the blowing

1486
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:29,780
up of the terrorist cells.

1487
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:30,080
Yeah.

1488
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:33,160
Which, of course, was shut down real quick.

1489
00:50:33,220 --> 00:50:34,500
That's not talked about anymore.

1490
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,560
Even by Glenn Greenwald, that's not talked about

1491
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:36,800
anymore.

1492
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,180
But of course, that didn't affect the actual

1493
00:50:39,180 --> 00:50:43,080
money, the drug money that I think a

1494
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,700
lot of people that we're unaware of are

1495
00:50:45,700 --> 00:50:46,800
benefiting from.

1496
00:50:47,060 --> 00:50:48,800
So I was looking for some analysis on

1497
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:49,060
this.

1498
00:50:49,060 --> 00:50:53,200
I found a report from Deutsche Welle.

1499
00:50:53,260 --> 00:50:54,060
We'll kick it off here.

1500
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,300
The United States has announced that it has

1501
00:50:56,300 --> 00:50:58,460
carried out a new strike on a boat

1502
00:50:58,460 --> 00:51:01,180
off the coast of Venezuela, the fourth in

1503
00:51:01,180 --> 00:51:02,000
recent weeks.

1504
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,700
This one comes after President Donald Trump declared

1505
00:51:04,700 --> 00:51:06,580
that the U.S. is at war with

1506
00:51:06,580 --> 00:51:07,600
drug cartels.

1507
00:51:08,100 --> 00:51:10,180
He made the designation in a notice sent

1508
00:51:10,180 --> 00:51:12,640
to Congress on Wednesday, which has been seen

1509
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,380
by multiple media outlets.

1510
00:51:14,380 --> 00:51:18,400
It says the president determined these cartels are

1511
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,960
non-state armed groups, designated them as terrorist

1512
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,720
organizations, and determined that their actions constitute an

1513
00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:28,120
attack against the United States.

1514
00:51:28,420 --> 00:51:30,280
Last month, the U.S. said it carried

1515
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,120
out three deadly military strikes on boats in

1516
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,240
the Caribbean in international waters near Venezuela.

1517
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,080
It alleges that they were smuggling drugs.

1518
00:51:39,420 --> 00:51:40,960
The U.S. has also built up its

1519
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,880
naval forces in the area and dispatched 10

1520
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,460
F-35 aircraft to Puerto Rico, a U

1521
00:51:46,460 --> 00:51:47,040
.S. territory.

1522
00:51:47,540 --> 00:51:50,020
It's the biggest military deployment in the Caribbean

1523
00:51:50,020 --> 00:51:51,240
in decades.

1524
00:51:51,820 --> 00:51:54,060
The strikes have raised questions about whether the

1525
00:51:54,060 --> 00:51:56,760
U.S. military is legally entitled to kill

1526
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,640
alleged cartel members under domestic and international law.

1527
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,220
By declaring the U.S. is involved in

1528
00:52:03,220 --> 00:52:06,080
an armed conflict with the cartels, the Trump

1529
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,700
administration aims to provide a legal rationale for

1530
00:52:09,700 --> 00:52:10,680
its actions.

1531
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,300
The attacks have also increased tensions between the

1532
00:52:14,300 --> 00:52:15,540
U.S. and Venezuela.

1533
00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:20,000
Venezuela's left-wing authoritarian president, Nicolas Maduro, has

1534
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,660
accused Trump of a covert bid to oust

1535
00:52:22,660 --> 00:52:22,880
him.

1536
00:52:23,380 --> 00:52:26,080
The Trump administration accuses Maduro of being a

1537
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,700
narco-terrorist and a drug cartel leader and

1538
00:52:29,700 --> 00:52:32,820
is offering a $50 million bounty for his

1539
00:52:32,820 --> 00:52:33,340
arrest.

1540
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,440
So they bring in an expert on this,

1541
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:36,940
Christopher Sabatini.

1542
00:52:36,940 --> 00:52:38,120
Listen to his resume.

1543
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,900
Senior Fellow for Latin America at Chatham House.

1544
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:47,640
A lecturer in discipline in the School of

1545
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,800
International and Public Affairs at Columbia University.

1546
00:52:51,260 --> 00:52:51,860
Spooks.

1547
00:52:52,620 --> 00:52:56,400
Also on the advisory board of Harvard University's

1548
00:52:56,400 --> 00:53:00,700
LASPAU, the Advisory Committee for Human Rights Watch,

1549
00:53:00,780 --> 00:53:04,580
America's Division, and of the Inter-American Foundation.

1550
00:53:05,140 --> 00:53:08,320
He's also an HFX fellow at the Halifax

1551
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:09,920
International Security Forum.

1552
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,580
You could not get a better guy to

1553
00:53:12,580 --> 00:53:13,500
defend this.

1554
00:53:14,100 --> 00:53:15,120
You want to say something?

1555
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:17,020
No.

1556
00:53:17,340 --> 00:53:18,660
Oh, here we go.

1557
00:53:18,820 --> 00:53:20,840
And to find out what exactly is going

1558
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,380
on here, I'm joined now by Christopher Sabatini.

1559
00:53:23,580 --> 00:53:24,780
He's a senior fellow.

1560
00:53:25,020 --> 00:53:26,920
Yeah, let's find out exactly what's going on

1561
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:27,460
here, shall we?

1562
00:53:27,540 --> 00:53:29,960
Let's get our information from this guy.

1563
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,000
For Latin America at Chatham House.

1564
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,680
That's an international affairs think tank based in

1565
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:35,480
London.

1566
00:53:35,660 --> 00:53:36,960
Mr. Sabatini, it's good to have you with

1567
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:37,240
us.

1568
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,780
President Trump says that the U.S. is

1569
00:53:39,780 --> 00:53:41,780
at war with drug cartels.

1570
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:45,040
I'm wondering, first, what's the point of this

1571
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:46,860
notice to Congress, in your opinion?

1572
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,380
Well, frankly, this is an attempt to cover

1573
00:53:50,380 --> 00:53:50,940
their argument.

1574
00:53:51,580 --> 00:53:54,160
They're trying to demonstrate that this is a

1575
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:59,020
war that legitimates, in their view, attacking civilians

1576
00:53:59,020 --> 00:54:00,060
without due process.

1577
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:00,640
That whole line.

1578
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:06,380
There is an interesting little milieu usage there

1579
00:54:06,380 --> 00:54:07,500
that I thought was interesting.

1580
00:54:07,620 --> 00:54:07,940
What's that?

1581
00:54:08,100 --> 00:54:09,940
The term that you normally use would be

1582
00:54:09,940 --> 00:54:12,640
legitimize, not legitimate.

1583
00:54:13,380 --> 00:54:16,220
Is that not just an anglophilian thing?

1584
00:54:16,220 --> 00:54:17,360
No, I don't think so.

1585
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,780
There's something fishy about using that term.

1586
00:54:20,060 --> 00:54:20,380
Okay.

1587
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,100
I just think it's a mark.

1588
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:23,300
No, no, we'll mark it down.

1589
00:54:23,300 --> 00:54:24,140
I wouldn't look at it as a marker.

1590
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:24,800
Marker.

1591
00:54:24,820 --> 00:54:25,340
Yep, marker.

1592
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,940
Well, I don't think, I think his resume

1593
00:54:27,940 --> 00:54:29,100
kind of already told us.

1594
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:30,420
Yeah, no, he's already marked.

1595
00:54:30,420 --> 00:54:32,860
But it's just another, you know, a marker

1596
00:54:32,860 --> 00:54:33,400
for others.

1597
00:54:34,540 --> 00:54:36,480
So he's actually going to push back again.

1598
00:54:36,620 --> 00:54:39,160
You know, so again, Department of Education, we're

1599
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:40,400
getting the illegals out.

1600
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:44,700
What's that?

1601
00:54:45,060 --> 00:54:50,660
USAID, hopefully going after the, what's the word,

1602
00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:53,300
democracy, the Endowment for Democracy.

1603
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:54,000
Yeah.

1604
00:54:54,300 --> 00:54:57,980
All of these things are all bad for

1605
00:54:57,980 --> 00:54:58,500
America.

1606
00:54:58,500 --> 00:55:00,760
And so now we're going after the drugs

1607
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,060
on the street and the supply lines, and

1608
00:55:04,060 --> 00:55:05,800
Chatham House is having none of it.

1609
00:55:05,940 --> 00:55:08,640
Well, frankly, this is an attempt to cover

1610
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:09,240
their argument.

1611
00:55:09,580 --> 00:55:12,420
They're trying to demonstrate that this is a

1612
00:55:12,420 --> 00:55:17,300
war that legitimates, in their view, attacking civilians

1613
00:55:17,300 --> 00:55:20,620
without due process, that in which they are

1614
00:55:20,620 --> 00:55:22,900
the equivalent of combatants in a war zone.

1615
00:55:22,900 --> 00:55:25,560
Questions have been raised across the aisle by

1616
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,000
both Republicans and Democrats that by declaring this

1617
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,780
war on narco-terrorists, is the term they

1618
00:55:31,780 --> 00:55:33,980
like to use, it is in violation of

1619
00:55:33,980 --> 00:55:34,980
the War Powers Act.

1620
00:55:35,140 --> 00:55:37,020
And it is even in violation of international

1621
00:55:37,020 --> 00:55:40,020
norms because they're killing civilians without due process

1622
00:55:40,020 --> 00:55:42,040
and without them actually- Wait, wait.

1623
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:44,680
I like the way he does this.

1624
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:46,440
Another good one, another good bit he just

1625
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,220
pulled, which is it's a violation of, not

1626
00:55:49,220 --> 00:55:53,840
in violation of international law, mind you, which

1627
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,580
is a legitimate thing to complain about.

1628
00:55:57,020 --> 00:55:59,820
No, it was a violation of international norms.

1629
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:01,320
Good point.

1630
00:56:01,420 --> 00:56:01,880
Good catch.

1631
00:56:02,060 --> 00:56:03,080
Which is meaningless.

1632
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:04,060
Yeah, my norms.

1633
00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:04,420
Yeah.

1634
00:56:04,620 --> 00:56:04,820
Yeah.

1635
00:56:04,820 --> 00:56:06,220
The New World Order norms.

1636
00:56:06,340 --> 00:56:07,400
It's a violation of that.

1637
00:56:07,540 --> 00:56:08,800
We don't do that.

1638
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:10,620
And then he says the War Powers Act

1639
00:56:10,620 --> 00:56:11,680
- But the way you couch it, the

1640
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,040
way you couch it, it makes it sound

1641
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,120
like it's a violation of international law.

1642
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:16,980
Right, but you say norms.

1643
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,060
But also he's full of crap because the

1644
00:56:19,060 --> 00:56:20,780
president sent his letter to Congress.

1645
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:22,420
He said, this is a war.

1646
00:56:22,420 --> 00:56:23,420
These are terrorists.

1647
00:56:23,620 --> 00:56:25,520
Here's my executive order, who I've all said

1648
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,640
is a terrorist, including Antifa.

1649
00:56:28,580 --> 00:56:30,560
And these guys are terrorists, so I'm going

1650
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:31,120
after them.

1651
00:56:31,240 --> 00:56:33,440
So he's, I guess he has 60 days

1652
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,260
or whatever, but he's within the War Powers

1653
00:56:36,260 --> 00:56:38,920
Act, which of course is super broad.

1654
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:40,400
But, you know, that's beside the point.

1655
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:41,640
And if they don't like it, they can

1656
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,420
repeal it.

1657
00:56:44,460 --> 00:56:45,260
They don't do that.

1658
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:47,880
Narco-terrorists is the term they like to

1659
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:48,260
use.

1660
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,360
It is in violation of the War Powers

1661
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:50,740
Act.

1662
00:56:50,740 --> 00:56:52,740
And that is even in violation of international

1663
00:56:52,740 --> 00:56:53,300
norms.

1664
00:56:53,460 --> 00:56:53,820
Good point.

1665
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,540
Because they're killing civilians without due process, without

1666
00:56:56,540 --> 00:56:58,520
them actually being armed threats.

1667
00:56:58,700 --> 00:56:59,920
So he's trying to draw this.

1668
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,980
I think it's a very loose and tenuous

1669
00:57:01,980 --> 00:57:06,840
connection between drugs and armed combatants, which, quite

1670
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,640
frankly, a number of U.S. senators, again,

1671
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,120
on both sides of the aisle, are not

1672
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:11,620
quite buying.

1673
00:57:11,860 --> 00:57:14,100
OK, well, we'll pay attention to which senators

1674
00:57:14,100 --> 00:57:15,140
are not buying it.

1675
00:57:15,140 --> 00:57:16,340
Just get a list of those guys.

1676
00:57:16,460 --> 00:57:18,280
Yes, we'd like to know who exactly is

1677
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,620
in with the British invasion here.

1678
00:57:20,740 --> 00:57:23,140
So how does Maduro fit into this?

1679
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,460
You know, at the center of this U

1680
00:57:25,460 --> 00:57:27,980
.S. war on drug cartels is Venezuela and

1681
00:57:27,980 --> 00:57:29,840
its president, Nicolas Maduro.

1682
00:57:30,420 --> 00:57:32,480
Can you tell us what role do they

1683
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,620
play in international drug trafficking?

1684
00:57:35,140 --> 00:57:38,260
They're large international drug traffickers as a country.

1685
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:39,440
They're not producers.

1686
00:57:39,820 --> 00:57:41,560
They're not producers at all of fentanyl.

1687
00:57:41,740 --> 00:57:43,680
Fentanyl, when it crosses the border in the

1688
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,700
U.S., comes from Mexico, oftentimes from Chinese

1689
00:57:46,700 --> 00:57:48,740
precursors materials.

1690
00:57:48,740 --> 00:57:50,760
But in the case of Venezuela, what they

1691
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,740
are, is they are a transshipment point for

1692
00:57:52,740 --> 00:57:54,840
cocaine that's leaving Colombia.

1693
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,460
But they really only the cocaine that leaves

1694
00:57:57,460 --> 00:57:59,880
Venezuela, most of it's actually bound for Europe.

1695
00:58:00,100 --> 00:58:02,880
Only about 5% of the cocaine consumed

1696
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:07,840
in the United States comes across Venezuelan airspace

1697
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:09,440
or maritime space.

1698
00:58:09,740 --> 00:58:10,400
Hold on a second.

1699
00:58:10,460 --> 00:58:12,080
This guy seems to know a lot about

1700
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:12,320
it.

1701
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,220
He has percentages and everything.

1702
00:58:14,700 --> 00:58:15,920
Like airspace.

1703
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,720
Are we going to shoot down planes now?

1704
00:58:18,740 --> 00:58:19,820
What is this?

1705
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,860
I think that was highly unusual.

1706
00:58:23,300 --> 00:58:25,380
By the way, a little bit too granular.

1707
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,580
This is not our main supply line.

1708
00:58:27,700 --> 00:58:29,460
This is just a little bitty bit.

1709
00:58:29,660 --> 00:58:32,180
Only about 5% of the cocaine consumed

1710
00:58:32,180 --> 00:58:37,220
in the United States comes across Venezuelan airspace

1711
00:58:37,220 --> 00:58:38,860
or maritime space.

1712
00:58:39,260 --> 00:58:40,940
Most of the cocaine that enters the United

1713
00:58:40,940 --> 00:58:44,340
States comes from the Pacific or up through

1714
00:58:44,340 --> 00:58:46,920
the isthmus of Central America and through Mexico.

1715
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,120
So this is really an attempt to try

1716
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,320
to engage in another agenda that the Trump

1717
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,180
administration has, which is to try to engage

1718
00:58:55,180 --> 00:58:55,900
in regime change.

1719
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,680
To take out the Nicolás Maduro government.

1720
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,260
They've named Nicolás Maduro and a number of

1721
00:59:00,260 --> 00:59:01,500
his- I love how all of a

1722
00:59:01,500 --> 00:59:01,880
sudden Maduro.

1723
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,380
He's talking very much like a Venezuelan Maduro.

1724
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,360
Associates in the government as being members of

1725
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:08,520
the Carteles de los Sol.

1726
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:09,720
Carteles de los Sol.

1727
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,580
Carteles de los Sol, which is- I'm

1728
00:59:12,580 --> 00:59:13,360
here to collect my check.

1729
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,720
Is a narco terrorist organization.

1730
00:59:16,340 --> 00:59:17,880
And they're claiming that that gives them the

1731
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,520
license to effectively take them out.

1732
00:59:19,740 --> 00:59:22,520
A little detour here for the Pentagon releasing

1733
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:23,740
the video of the hit.

1734
00:59:24,060 --> 00:59:27,140
Tonight, the Pentagon releasing this video of a

1735
00:59:27,140 --> 00:59:30,880
deadly military airstrike on what officials say, without

1736
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,060
providing evidence- Without any evidence!

1737
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,480
Was a drug boat attempting to smuggle narcotics

1738
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,920
into the U.S. The massive explosion sending

1739
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,420
debris raining down in international waters just off

1740
00:59:43,420 --> 00:59:44,520
the coast of Venezuela.

1741
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,060
Flames shooting from the vessel.

1742
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:48,400
Wow, so graphic.

1743
00:59:48,620 --> 00:59:51,140
The U.S. says four people were killed.

1744
00:59:51,300 --> 00:59:53,920
The president has directed these actions, these strikes

1745
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,700
against Venezuelan drug cartels and these boats, consistent

1746
00:59:57,700 --> 01:00:00,200
with his responsibility to protect the United States

1747
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:01,020
interests abroad.

1748
01:00:01,300 --> 01:00:05,040
Secretary Pete Hegseth saying, our intelligence without a

1749
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,420
doubt confirmed that this vessel was trafficking narcotics.

1750
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,200
The people on board were narco terrorists.

1751
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,840
Today's strike is the fourth known U.S.

1752
01:00:13,940 --> 01:00:17,340
attack on suspected Venezuelan drug boats since early

1753
01:00:17,340 --> 01:00:18,060
September.

1754
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:18,860
We have proof.

1755
01:00:18,940 --> 01:00:19,880
All you have to do is look at

1756
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,540
the cargo that was like it's spattered all

1757
01:00:22,540 --> 01:00:23,160
over the ocean.

1758
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,940
Big bags of cocaine and fentanyl all over

1759
01:00:26,940 --> 01:00:27,440
the place.

1760
01:00:27,660 --> 01:00:28,740
Big massive bags.

1761
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:29,600
You all saw it.

1762
01:00:30,460 --> 01:00:32,700
And with the Trump administration has now told

1763
01:00:32,700 --> 01:00:35,440
Congress as rationale for the strikes that they

1764
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:39,320
considered drug smugglers unlawful combatants with whom we

1765
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,280
are involved in armed conflict.

1766
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,680
But critics questioned the legality.

1767
01:00:43,980 --> 01:00:45,120
Oh, the critics.

1768
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:45,880
Oh, the critics.

1769
01:00:45,940 --> 01:00:48,220
We'll finish up with this Maduro shill here.

1770
01:00:48,260 --> 01:00:49,920
By the same token, they've also doubled the

1771
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,900
bounty on Nicolas Maduro's head to $50 million.

1772
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,260
So if you happen to have any information

1773
01:00:55,260 --> 01:00:56,780
to be able to turn him over to

1774
01:00:56,780 --> 01:00:58,100
U.S. authorities, you can make yourself a

1775
01:00:58,100 --> 01:00:59,760
quick $50 million.

1776
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:01,880
That, by the way, is more than the

1777
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,760
U.S. placed on the head of Osama

1778
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:04,340
bin Laden.

1779
01:01:04,340 --> 01:01:07,640
And it demonstrates a general trend across this

1780
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,720
entire rhetoric and policy, which is hyperbolic.

1781
01:01:11,340 --> 01:01:14,960
It's unclear really whether cartel de los solos

1782
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:18,700
actually exist as a hierarchical organized cartel as

1783
01:01:18,700 --> 01:01:21,160
it's being described by the Trump administration.

1784
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,800
It's unclear what extent Nicolas Maduro.

1785
01:01:23,860 --> 01:01:26,220
He probably is very well aware of narcotics

1786
01:01:26,220 --> 01:01:30,440
trafficking, flying over Venezuelan airspace and leaving Venezuelan

1787
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:31,060
shores.

1788
01:01:31,060 --> 01:01:33,600
But it's unclear whether this is truly an

1789
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:37,660
organized operational cartel with him sitting at the

1790
01:01:37,660 --> 01:01:37,920
head.

1791
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:40,060
But that's very much what the Trump administration

1792
01:01:40,060 --> 01:01:41,100
wants to portray.

1793
01:01:41,540 --> 01:01:45,140
But again, UNODC, UN Office of Drugs and

1794
01:01:45,140 --> 01:01:48,760
Crime, as well as independent investigators really questioned

1795
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,460
the logic and evidence that the Trump administration

1796
01:01:51,460 --> 01:01:53,280
is putting through to make these claims.

1797
01:01:53,740 --> 01:01:54,760
Everybody's in on this.

1798
01:01:54,860 --> 01:01:56,520
They're all in on the money train with

1799
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:57,780
this, as far as I'm concerned.

1800
01:01:58,160 --> 01:01:59,860
And what's interesting is that we've blown up

1801
01:01:59,860 --> 01:02:00,740
four of these boats.

1802
01:02:00,740 --> 01:02:02,980
It really doesn't get the same amount of

1803
01:02:02,980 --> 01:02:07,020
play on mainstream media as the shutdown and

1804
01:02:07,020 --> 01:02:09,840
Epstein, of course, that's gone down a bit,

1805
01:02:10,020 --> 01:02:10,800
Diddy, etc.

1806
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,360
And online, we are obsessed with one thing

1807
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:15,900
and one thing only.

1808
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:17,160
Here's Nick Fuentes.

1809
01:02:17,700 --> 01:02:19,240
So who owns your mind?

1810
01:02:19,860 --> 01:02:23,140
Zuckerberg runs Meta, which is Facebook and Instagram

1811
01:02:23,140 --> 01:02:23,920
Jewish.

1812
01:02:24,300 --> 01:02:27,280
Alphabet, which owns Google and YouTube is run

1813
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:28,640
by a couple of Jews.

1814
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,080
Larry Page, Sergey Brin.

1815
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:34,480
That's YouTube, Google, Facebook, Instagram.

1816
01:02:34,980 --> 01:02:37,160
TikTok is now owned by Larry Ellison.

1817
01:02:37,460 --> 01:02:38,420
So that's TikTok as well.

1818
01:02:38,460 --> 01:02:39,700
Those are your social platforms.

1819
01:02:39,900 --> 01:02:41,640
Out of the big media conglomerates, you got

1820
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,740
Disney, which is run by Bob Iger.

1821
01:02:43,860 --> 01:02:45,900
You got NBC and Universal, which are run

1822
01:02:45,900 --> 01:02:46,600
by Jews.

1823
01:02:46,860 --> 01:02:50,580
You have CBS, Warner Bros, Paramount Studios now

1824
01:02:50,580 --> 01:02:51,840
run by David Ellison.

1825
01:02:51,980 --> 01:02:54,160
You've got the Salem Radio Network and Brad

1826
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,260
Parscale working on behalf of Israel.

1827
01:02:56,260 --> 01:02:59,400
You've got Fox News, Wall Street Journal under

1828
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:00,060
the Murdochs.

1829
01:03:00,180 --> 01:03:01,040
They're friends of Israel.

1830
01:03:01,180 --> 01:03:04,800
You've got Daily Wire, Prager University, Breitbart, all

1831
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,880
run by Jewish editors, Jewish owners.

1832
01:03:07,060 --> 01:03:08,240
Are you starting to get it?

1833
01:03:08,780 --> 01:03:12,060
This is what this is so phenomenal.

1834
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:13,300
He's on TikTok.

1835
01:03:13,580 --> 01:03:14,440
He's on YouTube.

1836
01:03:14,740 --> 01:03:15,720
He's on X.

1837
01:03:15,820 --> 01:03:17,580
He can say whatever he wants to say,

1838
01:03:17,700 --> 01:03:20,040
but somehow they're controlling your mind.

1839
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:25,860
He goes on about the NBC and whoever

1840
01:03:25,860 --> 01:03:27,700
was he listed there, owned by Jews.

1841
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:28,720
That's Brian L.

1842
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:30,240
Roberts is not a Jew.

1843
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:31,000
Is he kidding?

1844
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,180
Well, he didn't mention Elon, friend of Israel.

1845
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:38,120
And Sergey Brin doesn't run Google.

1846
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:39,740
That's Sundar.

1847
01:03:39,740 --> 01:03:40,680
No, he hasn't been doing...

1848
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:41,780
Actually, I take it back.

1849
01:03:41,980 --> 01:03:43,880
Roberts was born into a Jewish family.

1850
01:03:44,060 --> 01:03:44,920
Ah, there you go.

1851
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,120
So once again, the Jews are...

1852
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:50,760
Every single day, John, I get emails.

1853
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,100
Are you convinced yet?

1854
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:52,600
Well, you should.

1855
01:03:52,820 --> 01:03:53,420
You should.

1856
01:03:53,660 --> 01:03:56,260
People, get him at curry.com.

1857
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:57,080
It's easy to remember.

1858
01:03:57,340 --> 01:03:59,980
Aren't you convinced yet that the Zionists run

1859
01:03:59,980 --> 01:04:00,580
our country?

1860
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,260
Aren't you sure of it?

1861
01:04:02,660 --> 01:04:06,020
And at this point, and Nick Fuentes, I

1862
01:04:06,020 --> 01:04:07,580
mean, I don't know where he makes his

1863
01:04:07,580 --> 01:04:09,180
money or how he makes his money, but

1864
01:04:09,180 --> 01:04:11,020
that guy is some sort of an op

1865
01:04:11,020 --> 01:04:12,280
and people love him.

1866
01:04:12,500 --> 01:04:14,260
And he got Kanye in on it.

1867
01:04:14,260 --> 01:04:16,200
Oh, the Jews, the Jews, the Jews are

1868
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:17,400
taking it all away from me.

1869
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:18,700
And you can hate Israel.

1870
01:04:18,820 --> 01:04:20,140
You can hate the government of Israel.

1871
01:04:20,140 --> 01:04:21,260
That's fine by me.

1872
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:22,180
That's okay.

1873
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,180
But the danger is that we start to

1874
01:04:25,180 --> 01:04:27,120
all hate the Jews just like the Brits

1875
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:28,860
do, which is why I think, you know,

1876
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,040
it's my thesis, the Brits created the modern

1877
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:32,340
state of Israel in the first place.

1878
01:04:32,420 --> 01:04:33,000
Send them all there.

1879
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:34,460
We can blame them for everything and we'll

1880
01:04:34,460 --> 01:04:35,980
do stuff in the Middle East and get

1881
01:04:35,980 --> 01:04:38,380
our BP and all of our oil and

1882
01:04:38,380 --> 01:04:39,200
anything else we want.

1883
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,120
And by the way, America has quite a

1884
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:43,840
history of hating Jews.

1885
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,740
I was watching a Dutch review, book review

1886
01:04:47,740 --> 01:04:50,460
of Mein Kampf, which was quite interesting.

1887
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:55,020
And Hitler was a big fan of Madison

1888
01:04:55,020 --> 01:04:55,440
Grant.

1889
01:04:56,060 --> 01:04:58,380
Madison Grant wrote this book called The Passing

1890
01:04:58,380 --> 01:04:59,680
of the Great Race.

1891
01:04:59,940 --> 01:05:02,900
And he was the chair of the New

1892
01:05:02,900 --> 01:05:06,920
York Zoological Society.

1893
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:08,120
Zoological.

1894
01:05:08,140 --> 01:05:09,100
I said zoological.

1895
01:05:09,420 --> 01:05:10,840
I started to say zoo, but then I

1896
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:11,680
said zoological.

1897
01:05:12,230 --> 01:05:14,940
Which later and today is now known as

1898
01:05:14,940 --> 01:05:17,160
the Wildlife Conservation Society.

1899
01:05:17,820 --> 01:05:19,860
Then he, you know, which is all the

1900
01:05:19,860 --> 01:05:22,040
green agenda, which is, you know, the whole

1901
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:26,040
green thing that's totally functional fascism.

1902
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,840
And if you look at the European Union

1903
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:33,520
with Ursula, it's basically the Nazi party dream.

1904
01:05:33,660 --> 01:05:35,460
But my point is to say that we

1905
01:05:35,460 --> 01:05:38,800
get suckered into this stuff so easily.

1906
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,440
And now it's become part of the podcast

1907
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:41,880
grift.

1908
01:05:41,980 --> 01:05:44,000
I just have to say it because now

1909
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:45,200
you have to do stuff.

1910
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:45,940
Listen to this.

1911
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:47,640
Was it podcast grift?

1912
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,620
Yes, podcast grift.

1913
01:05:49,700 --> 01:05:50,600
I like that term.

1914
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:52,020
Because you got to add in there that

1915
01:05:52,020 --> 01:05:55,940
obviously Israel killed Charlie Kirk and Israel is

1916
01:05:55,940 --> 01:05:56,840
to blame for it.

1917
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:57,960
They run our country.

1918
01:05:58,080 --> 01:05:58,840
They run Trump.

1919
01:05:58,960 --> 01:05:59,520
They run everything.

1920
01:05:59,660 --> 01:06:01,940
So now if you do a podcast, you've

1921
01:06:01,940 --> 01:06:03,120
got to say stuff like this.

1922
01:06:03,380 --> 01:06:03,900
I would never.

1923
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:05,440
This is Theo Vaughn, by the way.

1924
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,520
I would never take my own life.

1925
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:11,400
I'm grateful to God for his grace in

1926
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:11,960
my life.

1927
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:14,820
I love my siblings.

1928
01:06:16,180 --> 01:06:18,180
I have so many friends and people that

1929
01:06:18,180 --> 01:06:19,280
love me and people that I want to

1930
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:20,400
see their children grow up.

1931
01:06:20,780 --> 01:06:21,160
I'm hopeful.

1932
01:06:21,260 --> 01:06:22,620
I'm hopeful that I get to have a

1933
01:06:22,620 --> 01:06:24,620
wife and meet my and meet my own

1934
01:06:24,620 --> 01:06:25,260
children one day.

1935
01:06:25,460 --> 01:06:27,020
Like there's a ton of things in my

1936
01:06:27,020 --> 01:06:29,360
life that keep me alive and hopeful, right?

1937
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:30,580
I want to be able to have an

1938
01:06:30,580 --> 01:06:31,580
impact in the world.

1939
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:34,360
Those are just a few of them, probably,

1940
01:06:34,780 --> 01:06:36,400
you know, I mean, so many just moments

1941
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,160
we've shared on this show that I'm like,

1942
01:06:38,260 --> 01:06:40,160
oh, I live for those things.

1943
01:06:42,220 --> 01:06:43,800
I would never take my own life.

1944
01:06:43,860 --> 01:06:45,220
I would never take my own life.

1945
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:45,940
Okay.

1946
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:47,280
You hear that, Israel?

1947
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:51,900
This is what you've got to say.

1948
01:06:51,940 --> 01:06:52,880
Oh, it gets better.

1949
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:53,560
Listen to this.

1950
01:06:53,620 --> 01:06:54,280
Here's Candace.

1951
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,840
Well, Marjorie Taylor Greene has been very loud

1952
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,320
about how she is against that.

1953
01:06:59,580 --> 01:07:02,880
She has grown increasingly vocal and she feels

1954
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:04,440
the need, as she did a couple of

1955
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:08,360
days ago, to publicly clarify that she is

1956
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:09,020
not suicidal.

1957
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,120
I mean, it's ridiculous, but we do all

1958
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:11,720
have to say it.

1959
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:13,440
If you have influence and you're speaking out

1960
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:15,080
against Israel, you do have to kind of

1961
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:15,660
make that statement.

1962
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:16,880
We do have to make that.

1963
01:07:16,940 --> 01:07:18,780
This is why we don't make these statements,

1964
01:07:18,940 --> 01:07:20,880
John, because we're covering for Israel, obviously.

1965
01:07:21,180 --> 01:07:22,720
We're covering for the Zionists.

1966
01:07:23,380 --> 01:07:24,880
So this is the new grift.

1967
01:07:26,140 --> 01:07:29,160
I'm not suicidal when I talk out about

1968
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:29,640
Israel.

1969
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:30,200
Israel.

1970
01:07:31,460 --> 01:07:35,320
What is the benefit of taking this approach?

1971
01:07:35,700 --> 01:07:39,000
Because people are sucked up into hating Israel,

1972
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:39,900
the Zionists.

1973
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:40,680
They run everything.

1974
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:41,880
It's rampant.

1975
01:07:42,100 --> 01:07:44,200
Dude, this has been going on for years.

1976
01:07:44,780 --> 01:07:45,940
Yeah, I understand that.

1977
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:47,140
But what is the benefit?

1978
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:48,900
I still don't understand the benefits.

1979
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,140
I mean, besides not getting hate mail to

1980
01:07:51,140 --> 01:07:55,560
adamatcurry.com, which is, you know.

1981
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,160
Well, it's audience capture.

1982
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:58,200
Everybody wants.

1983
01:07:58,260 --> 01:08:00,340
Just go look at my x-time.

1984
01:08:00,700 --> 01:08:01,840
No, audience capture.

1985
01:08:02,060 --> 01:08:02,840
You might be right.

1986
01:08:02,940 --> 01:08:04,500
No, I'm completely right.

1987
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:05,260
That's what it is.

1988
01:08:05,580 --> 01:08:07,980
Don't you see now that your donations are

1989
01:08:07,980 --> 01:08:08,600
going down?

1990
01:08:08,980 --> 01:08:11,300
Addicts Jones has been bleeding audience.

1991
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,220
It's always the donations are going down because

1992
01:08:14,220 --> 01:08:15,420
they're not hating on people.

1993
01:08:15,420 --> 01:08:17,500
What they're saying is if you don't say

1994
01:08:17,500 --> 01:08:19,580
Israel is running everything, and we just don't

1995
01:08:19,580 --> 01:08:20,140
believe it.

1996
01:08:20,180 --> 01:08:21,740
We believe, in fact, quite the opposite.

1997
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:23,120
And I'm going to, I think we can

1998
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:24,380
prove that once again.

1999
01:08:24,380 --> 01:08:27,120
It's so obvious that they're not running everything.

2000
01:08:27,319 --> 01:08:28,020
They're not running anything.

2001
01:08:28,140 --> 01:08:29,859
In fact, there's a couple of clips.

2002
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:30,920
Well, I got one more clip.

2003
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:31,859
We'll get to that.

2004
01:08:32,279 --> 01:08:34,399
So, you know, the whole point is if

2005
01:08:34,399 --> 01:08:37,000
you don't think, if you don't think and

2006
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,520
say out loud that Israel runs America and

2007
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:42,260
all of our politicians through AIPAC, then you're

2008
01:08:42,260 --> 01:08:43,020
going to lose money.

2009
01:08:43,540 --> 01:08:45,700
So it's basically either I listen to what

2010
01:08:45,700 --> 01:08:47,880
you say and don't lose money or I

2011
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:48,979
take money from Israel.

2012
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,540
I mean, that's really the binary bullshit.

2013
01:08:51,540 --> 01:08:53,140
Where's your money from Israel, by the way?

2014
01:08:53,279 --> 01:08:53,720
Exactly.

2015
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,020
Has it come in yet?

2016
01:08:55,279 --> 01:08:58,399
So Marjorie Taylor Greene, now she has a

2017
01:08:58,399 --> 01:09:02,580
good point because she is, she's, this is

2018
01:09:02,580 --> 01:09:03,439
her own grift.

2019
01:09:03,859 --> 01:09:06,680
She's playing on this in a very obvious

2020
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:07,160
way.

2021
01:09:07,319 --> 01:09:09,040
And we know this from one of the

2022
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,319
last things Charlie Kirk did with all the

2023
01:09:11,319 --> 01:09:12,040
Gen Z-ers.

2024
01:09:12,319 --> 01:09:17,540
They're all saying, look, look, we look, we

2025
01:09:17,540 --> 01:09:19,340
want, we can't pay our rent.

2026
01:09:19,340 --> 01:09:22,720
We, you know, it's a crappy situation in

2027
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:23,140
America.

2028
01:09:23,220 --> 01:09:26,100
And why are we sending all this money

2029
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:29,160
to Israel, which is $10 billion?

2030
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:30,640
Let's say it's $50 billion.

2031
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:31,740
I don't care what it is.

2032
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,300
Why should we be doing that?

2033
01:09:34,399 --> 01:09:36,560
And of course, the answer is because that's

2034
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,960
our military base in the Middle East.

2035
01:09:39,220 --> 01:09:39,359
Fine.

2036
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,080
People can believe me or not, but that's

2037
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:44,500
literally aircraft carrier in the sand is how

2038
01:09:44,500 --> 01:09:45,640
it was set up and what it was

2039
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:46,600
called in the 70s.

2040
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:47,700
We've played all the clips.

2041
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:50,819
But if you look at the money we

2042
01:09:50,819 --> 01:09:53,900
send elsewhere, just the military in general is

2043
01:09:53,900 --> 01:09:55,340
a trillion dollars.

2044
01:09:55,900 --> 01:09:57,880
Look at the money we're sending all over

2045
01:09:57,880 --> 01:09:58,300
the world.

2046
01:09:58,420 --> 01:10:00,780
We sent 10 years worth of Israel money

2047
01:10:00,780 --> 01:10:01,780
to Ukraine.

2048
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:04,140
Those flags drop pretty quickly.

2049
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,100
So Marjorie Taylor Greene is using this for

2050
01:10:08,100 --> 01:10:11,120
votes and for popularity, which equals votes.

2051
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:12,380
And I can't blame her.

2052
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,740
And but she is doing the same thing

2053
01:10:15,740 --> 01:10:16,880
as the podcast Grift.

2054
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:18,640
Here she is with Matt Gaetz on OAN.

2055
01:10:18,820 --> 01:10:21,600
We got to talk about APAC attacking you,

2056
01:10:21,940 --> 01:10:24,740
sending out fundraising emails saying that you are

2057
01:10:24,740 --> 01:10:27,240
not acting in the interests of our country.

2058
01:10:27,420 --> 01:10:30,620
Marjorie Taylor Greene, your reaction to APAC's fundraising

2059
01:10:30,620 --> 01:10:31,860
emails attacking you?

2060
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:33,940
Yeah, and Matt, I'll go ahead and be

2061
01:10:33,940 --> 01:10:35,240
straight and honest about this.

2062
01:10:35,300 --> 01:10:36,540
I'm absolutely furious.

2063
01:10:36,740 --> 01:10:38,840
And as a matter of fact, APAC needs

2064
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,180
to register as a foreign lobbyist because they're

2065
01:10:41,180 --> 01:10:44,720
breaking U.S. laws by by donating to

2066
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,380
members of Congress and by taking them on

2067
01:10:47,380 --> 01:10:50,060
a fully funded trip to Israel every single

2068
01:10:50,060 --> 01:10:52,160
freshman member of Congress this year.

2069
01:10:52,480 --> 01:10:54,240
They just took them over just recently and

2070
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:55,700
had them meet with the prime minister of

2071
01:10:55,700 --> 01:10:55,980
Israel.

2072
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,220
But let's let's let's frame that correctly.

2073
01:10:58,780 --> 01:11:00,960
They take them over to meet with the

2074
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:04,360
secular government of nuclear armed Israel.

2075
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:07,680
Israel, who is in less than 400 billion

2076
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:08,540
dollars in debt.

2077
01:11:08,540 --> 01:11:12,280
Israel, who has taxpayer funded health care in

2078
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:12,780
college.

2079
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:14,260
Israel is not hurting.

2080
01:11:14,460 --> 01:11:16,160
And they've already proven that they are more

2081
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:18,840
than capable of not only defending themselves, but

2082
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,360
annihilating their enemies to the point of genocide.

2083
01:11:21,980 --> 01:11:23,520
And that's what's happening in Gaza.

2084
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,160
And Matt, the reason why APAC is attacking

2085
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,420
me is because I dared to tell the

2086
01:11:28,420 --> 01:11:28,740
truth.

2087
01:11:28,940 --> 01:11:30,520
As a matter of fact, I've been saying

2088
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:32,080
America first for a long time.

2089
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,620
But I'm getting to the point of saying

2090
01:11:34,620 --> 01:11:35,700
America only.

2091
01:11:35,860 --> 01:11:36,980
And I'll tell you why, Matt.

2092
01:11:36,980 --> 01:11:39,080
It's because pretty much if you're under the

2093
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:40,940
age of 40, you have no hope for

2094
01:11:40,940 --> 01:11:41,420
the future.

2095
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:43,640
We're 37 trillion dollars in debt.

2096
01:11:43,900 --> 01:11:45,420
People can't afford to buy a house.

2097
01:11:45,740 --> 01:11:46,840
They can't afford rent.

2098
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:48,160
They can't afford insurance.

2099
01:11:48,340 --> 01:11:49,580
They can't afford their bills.

2100
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,900
And we have HB1 visas stealing all these

2101
01:11:52,900 --> 01:11:53,740
American jobs.

2102
01:11:54,060 --> 01:11:55,580
And I'm sick and tired and fed up

2103
01:11:55,580 --> 01:11:55,980
with it.

2104
01:11:56,100 --> 01:11:58,220
So listen, if APAC wants to come after

2105
01:11:58,220 --> 01:12:02,480
me and accuse me of betraying my American

2106
01:12:02,480 --> 01:12:05,160
values, APAC, you know what?

2107
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:06,920
You can bring it on.

2108
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:08,580
I am totally ready for this.

2109
01:12:08,860 --> 01:12:10,280
And this is a fight that I will

2110
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:10,600
fight.

2111
01:12:10,700 --> 01:12:12,300
And I will give it my all.

2112
01:12:12,440 --> 01:12:14,120
And I can guarantee you, you're going to

2113
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,260
lose because America is fed up, Matt.

2114
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:20,800
They're fed up to here with funding foreign

2115
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:25,060
wars, funding foreign causes, funding foreign countries for

2116
01:12:25,060 --> 01:12:28,020
foreign reasons that have nothing to do with

2117
01:12:28,020 --> 01:12:31,100
Americans while Americans work their ass off every

2118
01:12:31,100 --> 01:12:33,940
day and pay their taxes and come home

2119
01:12:33,940 --> 01:12:34,740
and they're living.

2120
01:12:34,740 --> 01:12:37,320
Paycheck to paycheck and their credit cards are

2121
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:37,880
maxed out.

2122
01:12:37,940 --> 01:12:39,100
I don't care anymore.

2123
01:12:39,260 --> 01:12:40,380
I honestly don't care.

2124
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:42,780
So I'll burn this bridge to the ground

2125
01:12:42,780 --> 01:12:44,660
and I will let the flames light the

2126
01:12:44,660 --> 01:12:45,000
way.

2127
01:12:45,440 --> 01:12:46,860
And because this is a fight that needs

2128
01:12:46,860 --> 01:12:47,300
to happen.

2129
01:12:47,480 --> 01:12:50,940
So she is playing into feelings that are

2130
01:12:50,940 --> 01:12:54,820
rampant online, fueled, I'm sure, by ops like

2131
01:12:54,820 --> 01:12:57,160
Fuentes to blame it all.

2132
01:12:57,260 --> 01:12:58,720
Because when you blame it on Israel, it

2133
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:00,300
goes right to the I've seen this movie

2134
01:13:00,300 --> 01:13:00,720
before.

2135
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,000
It's happened many times in history.

2136
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:04,740
It winds up with Jews getting killed.

2137
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:07,220
Nice people everywhere in the world getting killed

2138
01:13:07,220 --> 01:13:10,000
is just how it always winds up then.

2139
01:13:10,340 --> 01:13:13,240
But she's pretending like it's it's it's Israel.

2140
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,760
No APAC funded by the American Israeli Education

2141
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,660
Foundation Foundation, which is funded by the military

2142
01:13:19,660 --> 01:13:23,580
industrial complex, the very the very thing that

2143
01:13:23,580 --> 01:13:25,980
President Eisenhower warned us about.

2144
01:13:26,060 --> 01:13:26,340
Yeah.

2145
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,140
Lockheed, Raytheon, they funded.

2146
01:13:29,440 --> 01:13:31,140
They're the ones that are going in there.

2147
01:13:31,140 --> 01:13:33,240
Yeah, because it's money in their pockets.

2148
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:36,000
And they're horrible, too, because there's oh, let's

2149
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,560
do it under the guise of Israel.

2150
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:38,840
Oh, you got to do it for Israel.

2151
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,520
Play on your Christian values, blah, blah, blah.

2152
01:13:42,100 --> 01:13:44,320
But at the same time, you cannot deny

2153
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:47,220
that President Trump is now very clearly in

2154
01:13:47,220 --> 01:13:49,860
charge of the situation with this Gaza deal.

2155
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,540
In fact, let me just play.

2156
01:13:53,020 --> 01:13:53,600
I have clips, too.

2157
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:55,140
I got two clips and then I'll be

2158
01:13:55,140 --> 01:13:55,360
done.

2159
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:56,380
Here he is.

2160
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:58,560
Listen to who he thanks for this deal.

2161
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:00,360
I want to thank the countries that helped

2162
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:01,520
me put this together.

2163
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:07,520
Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and so

2164
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:08,140
many others.

2165
01:14:08,460 --> 01:14:10,780
So many people fought so hard.

2166
01:14:11,300 --> 01:14:12,580
This is a big day.

2167
01:14:12,980 --> 01:14:14,580
We'll see how it all turns out.

2168
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,720
We have to get the final word down

2169
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:18,560
and concrete.

2170
01:14:18,900 --> 01:14:21,720
Very importantly, I look forward to having the

2171
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:25,120
hostages come home to their parents and having

2172
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:26,880
some of the hostages.

2173
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,660
Unfortunately, you know the condition they're in.

2174
01:14:30,580 --> 01:14:33,020
Come home likewise to their parents because their

2175
01:14:33,020 --> 01:14:36,600
parents wanted them just as much as though

2176
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,740
that young man or young woman were alive.

2177
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,100
So I just want to let you know

2178
01:14:42,100 --> 01:14:45,580
that this is a very special day, maybe

2179
01:14:45,580 --> 01:14:47,740
unprecedented in many ways.

2180
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:49,320
It is unprecedented.

2181
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:52,180
But thank you all and thank you all

2182
01:14:52,180 --> 01:14:53,840
to those great countries that helped.

2183
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:56,560
We were given a tremendous amount of help.

2184
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:59,900
Everybody was unified in wanting this war to

2185
01:14:59,900 --> 01:15:01,740
end and seeing peace in the Middle East.

2186
01:15:02,740 --> 01:15:04,780
And we're very close to achieving that.

2187
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:06,080
Thank you all.

2188
01:15:06,180 --> 01:15:08,380
And everybody will be treated fairly.

2189
01:15:08,620 --> 01:15:11,580
Doesn't sound like a very pro-Israeli speech

2190
01:15:11,580 --> 01:15:13,780
to me, thanking all of the Arab nations.

2191
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,920
And now he's out openly trolling Netanyahu.

2192
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:18,140
Noga, good morning.

2193
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:20,820
It seems things are moving full steam ahead.

2194
01:15:20,820 --> 01:15:23,120
And Donald Trump is continuing to pile pressure

2195
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:24,160
on both sides.

2196
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:25,000
He is.

2197
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:27,320
He has not lost interest, Alison.

2198
01:15:27,460 --> 01:15:30,160
And it is interesting to observe so that

2199
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:33,860
yesterday, hours after he posted on his Truth

2200
01:15:33,860 --> 01:15:38,640
Social media website, a sort of another threat

2201
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:41,640
to Hamas saying basically get a move on.

2202
01:15:41,900 --> 01:15:43,620
You don't have a lot of time to

2203
01:15:43,620 --> 01:15:45,960
release the Israeli hostages or else.

2204
01:15:46,940 --> 01:15:51,140
Subsequently, he posted—he made two posts that are

2205
01:15:51,140 --> 01:15:55,720
sure to have severely irritated Prime Minister Netanyahu.

2206
01:15:56,140 --> 01:16:00,280
In one, interestingly, he posted an image of

2207
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:04,060
the more than 100,000 Israelis who gathered

2208
01:16:04,060 --> 01:16:07,700
yesterday in Tel Aviv, who rallied to demand

2209
01:16:07,700 --> 01:16:08,580
an end to the war.

2210
01:16:08,660 --> 01:16:11,680
This is a weekly event in smaller numbers,

2211
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:12,540
a daily event.

2212
01:16:12,740 --> 01:16:15,300
And somehow Trump has become aware of these

2213
01:16:15,300 --> 01:16:15,540
things.

2214
01:16:15,540 --> 01:16:17,860
It's the second time he posts—and it's important

2215
01:16:17,860 --> 01:16:21,440
to—you know, Netanyahu refers to these protesters as

2216
01:16:21,440 --> 01:16:25,120
enemies of Israel, as draft dodgers, in the

2217
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:26,060
worst possible terms.

2218
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:28,100
So that was an interesting thing.

2219
01:16:28,180 --> 01:16:31,040
And shortly thereafter, the president of the United

2220
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:35,100
States posted a map of the withdrawal lines

2221
01:16:35,100 --> 01:16:38,380
that he proposes for this 20-point peace

2222
01:16:38,380 --> 01:16:38,960
proposal.

2223
01:16:39,670 --> 01:16:44,220
He announced unilaterally that Israel had agreed, thus

2224
01:16:44,220 --> 01:16:47,360
removing quite a bit of Israeli leverage in

2225
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:49,480
the discussions that are going to start in

2226
01:16:49,480 --> 01:16:51,060
Egypt, the negotiations that are going to start

2227
01:16:51,060 --> 01:16:53,540
in Egypt as of tomorrow, as of Monday.

2228
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:56,140
So it is interesting to see him not

2229
01:16:56,140 --> 01:17:00,140
lose interest and keep pressuring both sides basically

2230
01:17:00,140 --> 01:17:02,460
every few hours since he announced this deal.

2231
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:04,020
Sombreros are coming.

2232
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:05,580
That's next.

2233
01:17:06,260 --> 01:17:08,860
It's obvious who's running the show here.

2234
01:17:09,220 --> 01:17:10,380
It's so obvious.

2235
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:11,120
But OK.

2236
01:17:12,460 --> 01:17:13,980
All right, what you got on the— Well,

2237
01:17:14,020 --> 01:17:14,800
let's go with these.

2238
01:17:14,940 --> 01:17:16,580
I have some—these are from PBS.

2239
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:18,540
And these are—this is Hamas.

2240
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:20,680
This is the story with a bunch of

2241
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:21,200
analysis.

2242
01:17:21,440 --> 01:17:24,480
But this is—the opener is Hamas PBS version

2243
01:17:24,480 --> 01:17:24,820
1.

2244
01:17:25,100 --> 01:17:27,820
President Trump is sending envoys Steve Whitkoff and

2245
01:17:27,820 --> 01:17:30,380
Jared Kushner to Cairo this weekend to try

2246
01:17:30,380 --> 01:17:32,520
to nail down a deal— Oh, Kushner, another

2247
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:34,880
Jew trying to make money off the deal!

2248
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,360
Sorry, I have to give color commentary.

2249
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:40,220
President Trump is sending envoys Steve Whitkoff and

2250
01:17:40,220 --> 01:17:42,800
Jared Kushner to Cairo this weekend to try

2251
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,040
to nail down a deal between Hamas and

2252
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,640
Israel to free the remaining Israeli hostages.

2253
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:49,840
The president hopes that would be the first

2254
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,300
step toward ending their war, which is to

2255
01:17:52,300 --> 01:17:54,200
enter its third year on Tuesday.

2256
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:57,300
In Gaza, the skies were relatively calm.

2257
01:17:57,820 --> 01:18:01,260
Palestinian hospital officials say Israeli bombing has significantly

2258
01:18:01,260 --> 01:18:03,840
subsided, though not stopped entirely.

2259
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,460
They said at least five Palestinians had been

2260
01:18:06,460 --> 01:18:06,840
killed.

2261
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,620
Israeli officials say the IDF has shifted to

2262
01:18:09,620 --> 01:18:11,500
a defensive posture in Gaza.

2263
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,020
On social media, the president said the next

2264
01:18:14,020 --> 01:18:16,140
steps were up to the Palestinian militant group.

2265
01:18:16,660 --> 01:18:19,620
Hamas must move quickly or else all bets

2266
01:18:19,620 --> 01:18:20,160
are off.

2267
01:18:20,540 --> 01:18:23,060
I will not tolerate delay or any outcome

2268
01:18:23,060 --> 01:18:25,000
where Gaza poses a threat again.

2269
01:18:25,380 --> 01:18:27,220
Let's get this done fast.

2270
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,640
In Khan Younis, displaced Palestinians said Mr. Trump's

2271
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:32,600
pressure should be directed elsewhere.

2272
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:34,040
And he was at Luckin.

2273
01:18:34,100 --> 01:18:36,560
My message to Mr. Trump is to pressure

2274
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:38,200
Israel for a ceasefire.

2275
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:40,780
He is feeling for us and aware of

2276
01:18:40,780 --> 01:18:41,680
our situations.

2277
01:18:41,940 --> 01:18:43,100
This is enough.

2278
01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:46,160
Did PBS mention the post he made about

2279
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:49,120
the Israeli protesters, the enemies of Israel?

2280
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:50,860
They have a bit.

2281
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:52,620
I think their analysis is better.

2282
01:18:52,700 --> 01:18:54,240
And it starts right with this next clip.

2283
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:56,640
Aaron David Miller was a US Middle East

2284
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,580
negotiator in Republican and Democratic administrations.

2285
01:18:59,780 --> 01:19:01,040
You're a former negotiated.

2286
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,040
You hear the things that Israel is saying,

2287
01:19:03,420 --> 01:19:04,520
that Hamas is saying.

2288
01:19:04,900 --> 01:19:06,680
Do you get the feeling that we're on

2289
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:07,700
our way to a deal?

2290
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:12,020
You know, usually my sense is, is pretty

2291
01:19:12,020 --> 01:19:14,800
negative given the gaps between Israel and Hamas

2292
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:16,440
over the last couple of years.

2293
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:18,440
But yeah, I think we are at least

2294
01:19:18,440 --> 01:19:21,560
on the way to the release of hostages

2295
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,980
in exchange, probably, probably for an end to

2296
01:19:24,980 --> 01:19:28,940
Israel's comprehensive military campaign in Gaza.

2297
01:19:28,940 --> 01:19:32,100
Beyond that, it is really difficult to say,

2298
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:35,720
because both the yes, but from Israel and

2299
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:39,240
the yes, but for sure from Hamas to

2300
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:44,180
the president's 20 points basically reflect still the

2301
01:19:44,180 --> 01:19:48,700
impossibility right now of reconciling what the Israelis

2302
01:19:48,700 --> 01:19:52,300
want for an end state and what Hamas

2303
01:19:52,300 --> 01:19:52,640
does.

2304
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:57,220
But I think, John, closer than ever, although

2305
01:19:57,220 --> 01:20:01,560
in Arab-Israeli-Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, ever is

2306
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:03,520
a kind of a problematic idea.

2307
01:20:04,440 --> 01:20:06,380
Explain what the sticking points are on each

2308
01:20:06,380 --> 01:20:06,720
side.

2309
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,240
What in the deal is Hamas not crazy

2310
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:09,560
about?

2311
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,420
What in the deal is Israel not terribly

2312
01:20:11,420 --> 01:20:12,100
excited about?

2313
01:20:12,740 --> 01:20:15,180
I think both are not excited about excited

2314
01:20:15,180 --> 01:20:17,800
about any of it, except the president is

2315
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,340
the most excited, because what he is going

2316
01:20:20,340 --> 01:20:22,160
to be able to accomplish if it holds

2317
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,400
is the return of all the hostages, living

2318
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:29,560
and dead, and likely, as I mentioned, an

2319
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:34,040
end to Israel's comprehensive military campaign in Gaza.

2320
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:35,640
Hamas wants to survive.

2321
01:20:36,620 --> 01:20:38,720
And they will be looking for two commitments

2322
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:40,980
that I don't think this Israeli government will

2323
01:20:40,980 --> 01:20:41,860
be willing to give.

2324
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:44,280
I think the statehood part is the big

2325
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:46,620
is the big carrot, which will never take

2326
01:20:46,620 --> 01:20:47,060
place.

2327
01:20:47,620 --> 01:20:49,880
Yeah, well, all Trump, it just seems, if

2328
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:51,480
you listen to this guy, that all Trump

2329
01:20:51,480 --> 01:20:53,540
really wants to accomplish is stop.

2330
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:54,060
Yes.

2331
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:54,920
Stop the killing.

2332
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:55,800
Stop.

2333
01:20:56,220 --> 01:20:59,180
And then, you know, let's just stop.

2334
01:20:59,860 --> 01:21:02,040
And so, but there's a key, but it

2335
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,620
also, as it will be revealed in the

2336
01:21:04,620 --> 01:21:07,540
next couple of clips, Trump does have a

2337
01:21:07,540 --> 01:21:10,560
lot more leverage over Netanyahu than people know

2338
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:10,880
about.

2339
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:15,200
Withdraw all Israeli forces from Gaza and a

2340
01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:17,320
formal end to the war where the Israelis

2341
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:20,780
will not continue to exercise the right to

2342
01:21:20,780 --> 01:21:24,380
preempt or prevent if Hamas resurges.

2343
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:27,660
As far as Mr. Netanyahu is concerned, he

2344
01:21:27,660 --> 01:21:30,600
wanted, quote unquote, total victory as he has

2345
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:33,140
maintained these many months, which would have meant

2346
01:21:33,140 --> 01:21:36,620
the end of Hamas as an organized military

2347
01:21:36,620 --> 01:21:37,460
organization.

2348
01:21:37,460 --> 01:21:40,880
I think he probably, these Israeli defense forces

2349
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:42,060
have achieved that.

2350
01:21:42,180 --> 01:21:44,640
What they have not achieved, and I think

2351
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:46,120
this is going to be extremely difficult, is

2352
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:49,540
the end of Hamas's political influence in Gaza

2353
01:21:49,540 --> 01:21:52,440
and its existence as an insurgency.

2354
01:21:53,100 --> 01:21:57,140
So again, Netanyahu's end state and Hamas's are

2355
01:21:57,140 --> 01:21:59,520
still, in my judgment, mutually irreconcilable.

2356
01:21:59,920 --> 01:22:00,820
This is happening.

2357
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:02,820
Yes, Hamas is under pressure.

2358
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:04,000
It's happening.

2359
01:22:04,180 --> 01:22:05,600
Yes, the Arabs are more united.

2360
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:09,060
But it is happening for one primary reason.

2361
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:10,840
You have an American president.

2362
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:14,260
I was part of administrations from Jimmy Carter

2363
01:22:14,260 --> 01:22:15,020
to Bush 43.

2364
01:22:15,440 --> 01:22:18,440
You have an administration, a president that has

2365
01:22:18,440 --> 01:22:23,560
exercised unprecedented pressure on an Israeli prime minister,

2366
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:27,100
not since Eisenhower, who threatened David Ben-Gurion

2367
01:22:27,100 --> 01:22:29,360
with political and economic sanctions.

2368
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:33,040
Has an American president been this tough with

2369
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,840
an Israeli prime minister and actually threatened a

2370
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:37,080
quote or else?

2371
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,760
And this Israeli prime minister, since he needs

2372
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:45,640
Donald Trump to wage a successful election campaign

2373
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:48,560
to remain prime minister, probably in the spring

2374
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:53,780
or maybe the fall of 2026, couldn't say

2375
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:54,120
no.

2376
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:56,140
Oh yeah, don't worry.

2377
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:58,600
We'll get you in jail, Bibi, unless you

2378
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:00,220
send the boys from Shabbat on me.

2379
01:23:01,980 --> 01:23:03,260
Which won't happen.

2380
01:23:03,500 --> 01:23:04,500
Of course not.

2381
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:06,240
That's a good point.

2382
01:23:06,380 --> 01:23:06,780
That's good.

2383
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:08,980
That's accentuates the point.

2384
01:23:09,780 --> 01:23:13,580
Yes, and he wraps it with less of

2385
01:23:13,580 --> 01:23:15,860
an accentuation here.

2386
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,780
Is that surprising given the relationship we saw

2387
01:23:18,780 --> 01:23:21,680
between Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu during Mr.

2388
01:23:21,740 --> 01:23:22,720
Trump's first term?

2389
01:23:22,780 --> 01:23:25,180
And also we keep hearing Netanyahu say Israel

2390
01:23:25,180 --> 01:23:27,000
has had no better friend in the White

2391
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:28,300
House than Donald Trump.

2392
01:23:28,900 --> 01:23:30,880
I mean, Trump fashions himself as the most

2393
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:32,680
pro-Israeli president in human history.

2394
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:35,440
And the reality is during Trump 1.0,

2395
01:23:35,540 --> 01:23:37,400
I think Donald Trump created what I would

2396
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,340
describe as a sugar high for the Israelis.

2397
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,760
He applied no pressure, ample amounts of honey,

2398
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:44,200
but no vinegar.

2399
01:23:45,220 --> 01:23:47,600
This time around, given the fact that he

2400
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:52,560
wanted to claim success in not ending the

2401
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:52,900
war.

2402
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:53,900
Let's be clear.

2403
01:23:53,980 --> 01:23:55,920
The war between Israel and Hamas is going

2404
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:56,460
to go on.

2405
01:23:56,540 --> 01:23:59,480
But Trump, like in Ukraine, wanted to end

2406
01:23:59,480 --> 01:24:00,840
the fighting, but not the war.

2407
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,760
Here, he's going to get the hostages out,

2408
01:24:03,940 --> 01:24:05,140
most likely.

2409
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:11,380
And he will ameliorate or diminish the comprehensive

2410
01:24:11,380 --> 01:24:15,080
military campaign that the Israelis have waged over

2411
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:18,100
the last year, where they now occupy 75

2412
01:24:18,100 --> 01:24:21,360
to 80 percent of Gaza, where the Israelis

2413
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:22,640
are going to withdraw to.

2414
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:27,080
Will Hamas's weapons be decommissioned, as it says

2415
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:28,300
in the president's proposal?

2416
01:24:28,300 --> 01:24:30,200
Is there going to be an Arab stabilization

2417
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:31,240
force?

2418
01:24:31,540 --> 01:24:36,120
Will aid, humanitarian assistance, and reconstruction to provide

2419
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:39,420
two million Palestinians finally with a secure source

2420
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:43,060
of potable water, sanitation, access to proper medical

2421
01:24:43,060 --> 01:24:44,660
care, and enough food?

2422
01:24:45,020 --> 01:24:48,860
All of those issues, all of them, remain

2423
01:24:48,860 --> 01:24:49,840
to be negotiated.

2424
01:24:50,220 --> 01:24:52,560
It's the best of all scenarios.

2425
01:24:53,060 --> 01:24:54,080
Stop the killing.

2426
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:56,520
Keep the threat of war going so we

2427
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:57,800
can continue to sell stuff.

2428
01:24:59,100 --> 01:24:59,980
That's what we do.

2429
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:02,360
That's why AIPAC is still around.

2430
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:03,540
We can continue to sell.

2431
01:25:03,660 --> 01:25:04,380
I guess sign off.

2432
01:25:04,480 --> 01:25:05,360
We've got to build this.

2433
01:25:05,500 --> 01:25:06,240
We've got to do this.

2434
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:07,420
We're doing it in Europe, too.

2435
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:08,300
It's coming later.

2436
01:25:08,860 --> 01:25:10,820
I'm going to interject with two quick Rubio

2437
01:25:10,820 --> 01:25:11,900
clips from this morning.

2438
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:14,320
He did all the morning shows.

2439
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:15,940
This is Manhans Welker.

2440
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:18,540
Mr. Secretary, I want to read point 19

2441
01:25:18,540 --> 01:25:20,560
of the president's peace plan.

2442
01:25:20,660 --> 01:25:21,920
I'll put it up so folks can see

2443
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:22,060
it.

2444
01:25:22,060 --> 01:25:26,500
While Gaza redevelopment advances and when the Palestinian

2445
01:25:26,500 --> 01:25:30,020
Authority reform program is faithfully carried out, the

2446
01:25:30,020 --> 01:25:32,340
conditions may finally be in place for a

2447
01:25:32,340 --> 01:25:35,960
credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood,

2448
01:25:36,140 --> 01:25:39,440
which we recognize as the aspiration of the

2449
01:25:39,440 --> 01:25:40,540
Palestinian people.

2450
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:44,760
Does the Trump administration now support Palestinian statehood,

2451
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:45,440
Mr. Secretary?

2452
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:46,300
Hamana, Hamana.

2453
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:48,640
Well, look, first of all, that provision was

2454
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:50,540
very important to the countries that signed on

2455
01:25:50,540 --> 01:25:53,740
with us and Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, et

2456
01:25:53,740 --> 01:25:53,840
cetera.

2457
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:55,820
They all really that's a very important point

2458
01:25:55,820 --> 01:25:56,140
to them.

2459
01:25:56,420 --> 01:25:57,880
I think the most important point to read

2460
01:25:57,880 --> 01:25:59,420
out of that is that you have to

2461
01:25:59,420 --> 01:26:01,360
have somebody to turn it over to, right?

2462
01:26:01,460 --> 01:26:03,040
Someone that you can hand that over to.

2463
01:26:03,100 --> 01:26:04,360
We've always said that if there's going to

2464
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:05,660
be a two state solution, it has to

2465
01:26:05,660 --> 01:26:07,320
be negotiated with Israel.

2466
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,300
It has to make sure that Israel's security

2467
01:26:09,300 --> 01:26:10,400
is taken into account.

2468
01:26:10,780 --> 01:26:12,000
And so I would argue that I wouldn't

2469
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:13,460
say this is a new policy position.

2470
01:26:13,740 --> 01:26:15,640
What I would say is you want to

2471
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:17,460
be able to have in Gaza a place

2472
01:26:17,460 --> 01:26:19,520
that Israel has no interest in governing Gaza.

2473
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:21,760
They want to turn it over to somebody,

2474
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,480
some organization that will govern it, that will

2475
01:26:24,480 --> 01:26:27,500
not build tunnels and sponsor terrorism and come

2476
01:26:27,500 --> 01:26:30,260
across the line and kidnap, rape and murder

2477
01:26:30,260 --> 01:26:31,180
Israelis.

2478
01:26:31,440 --> 01:26:32,580
That's who they want to turn it over

2479
01:26:32,580 --> 01:26:32,820
to.

2480
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:34,240
And right now that doesn't exist.

2481
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:35,120
That has to be built.

2482
01:26:35,340 --> 01:26:37,360
But Mr. Secretary, we need you to say

2483
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:39,680
that you are for a Palestinian state.

2484
01:26:40,020 --> 01:26:41,760
But Mr. Secretary, in terms of where the

2485
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:45,080
administration stands, yes or no, does the Trump

2486
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:46,760
administration support Palestinian statehood?

2487
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:48,020
That's not a yes or no question.

2488
01:26:48,300 --> 01:26:49,220
That's a process.

2489
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:50,860
No, but that's not a yes or no

2490
01:26:50,860 --> 01:26:51,100
question.

2491
01:26:51,180 --> 01:26:51,780
That's a process.

2492
01:26:52,020 --> 01:26:52,960
Ultimately, at the end of the day, we've

2493
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:55,000
always said this has been the consistent position

2494
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,220
of this administration, of myself, and of a

2495
01:26:57,220 --> 01:26:58,340
lot of people that have watched this for

2496
01:26:58,340 --> 01:26:59,020
a very long time.

2497
01:26:59,380 --> 01:27:01,360
In order for that aspiration to even be

2498
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:03,060
credible, it has to be realistic.

2499
01:27:03,460 --> 01:27:05,940
We can't have a Palestinian state that's governed

2500
01:27:05,940 --> 01:27:08,540
by Hamas or by some terrorist organization whose

2501
01:27:08,540 --> 01:27:11,040
stated purpose for existence is the destruction of

2502
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:11,620
the Jewish state.

2503
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:12,660
That would never work.

2504
01:27:14,180 --> 01:27:16,960
Until Gaza is governed by people that are

2505
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:19,840
not interested in destroying Israel, until there are

2506
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,520
no security threats emanating against Israel from Gaza,

2507
01:27:23,140 --> 01:27:24,260
forget about statehood.

2508
01:27:24,340 --> 01:27:25,120
You're not going to have peace.

2509
01:27:25,460 --> 01:27:27,200
So we have to create the conditions for

2510
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:27,440
that.

2511
01:27:28,060 --> 01:27:29,200
That's going to take a while.

2512
01:27:29,980 --> 01:27:31,360
And that's going to be part of what

2513
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:33,160
these negotiations are about in the days to

2514
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:33,400
come.

2515
01:27:33,660 --> 01:27:35,840
But right now, the priority, number one, is

2516
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:37,000
to get the hostages released.

2517
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:38,660
If we can't even get an agreement on

2518
01:27:38,660 --> 01:27:40,480
the hostages being released, you ain't going to

2519
01:27:40,480 --> 01:27:41,500
have long-term peace here.

2520
01:27:41,660 --> 01:27:43,160
So let's get that peace done.

2521
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:44,040
It's the most important.

2522
01:27:44,340 --> 01:27:45,620
And then we can move to phase two.

2523
01:27:45,660 --> 01:27:46,960
And it'll give momentum to the rest of

2524
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:47,320
the effort.

2525
01:27:47,460 --> 01:27:48,620
But this is not going to be easy.

2526
01:27:48,620 --> 01:27:49,660
No one said this is going to be

2527
01:27:49,660 --> 01:27:49,900
easy.

2528
01:27:50,220 --> 01:27:51,540
We are dealing with something that's been going

2529
01:27:51,540 --> 01:27:52,920
on for a very long time.

2530
01:27:53,500 --> 01:27:54,880
Yeah, there you go.

2531
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:57,260
That's the 20-point plan.

2532
01:27:57,540 --> 01:27:58,620
And all the Arab...

2533
01:27:58,620 --> 01:28:01,580
Where is Animas of Dogpatch?

2534
01:28:01,660 --> 01:28:03,120
Where's a dude named Mohammed?

2535
01:28:03,300 --> 01:28:04,580
We need some boots on the ground.

2536
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:05,680
What is Iran thinking?

2537
01:28:06,660 --> 01:28:08,040
He'd give us some information.

2538
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:10,020
He's probably floating around.

2539
01:28:10,140 --> 01:28:11,000
He's probably part of it.

2540
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:12,300
So...

2541
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:13,900
He's in Doha.

2542
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,240
He's in Doha at the moment.

2543
01:28:15,620 --> 01:28:16,420
He's in Doha.

2544
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:17,720
So we have...

2545
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:20,740
I want to play this...

2546
01:28:21,260 --> 01:28:23,560
This is the NPR version of what we

2547
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:24,340
played for PBS.

2548
01:28:24,620 --> 01:28:26,840
But I only think I have to play

2549
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:28,160
clip one here, which is...

2550
01:28:28,860 --> 01:28:30,540
Because they decided...

2551
01:28:30,540 --> 01:28:31,680
Something came down.

2552
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:34,860
Now, most of these operations, these large-scale

2553
01:28:34,860 --> 01:28:37,220
operations, whether it's the New York Times, the

2554
01:28:37,220 --> 01:28:41,060
Associated Press, or NPR, PBS, they all have

2555
01:28:41,060 --> 01:28:41,920
style guides.

2556
01:28:42,480 --> 01:28:43,900
And so you have to keep an eye

2557
01:28:43,900 --> 01:28:44,560
on the style guides.

2558
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:46,320
In other words, the style guide will tell

2559
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:49,120
you, as a writer or a reporter, what

2560
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:50,600
terms you can use.

2561
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:51,360
Ah, yes.

2562
01:28:51,860 --> 01:28:52,860
And how to put them.

2563
01:28:52,940 --> 01:28:54,580
That's how you get, you know, a birthing

2564
01:28:54,580 --> 01:28:57,480
person shows up, kind of thing.

2565
01:28:57,560 --> 01:28:59,160
And everyone's all of a sudden saying birthing

2566
01:28:59,160 --> 01:28:59,620
person.

2567
01:28:59,820 --> 01:29:00,040
Pregnant people.

2568
01:29:00,260 --> 01:29:01,020
Pregnant people.

2569
01:29:02,180 --> 01:29:03,060
Stuff like that.

2570
01:29:03,060 --> 01:29:04,160
Front hole.

2571
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:05,560
Front hole.

2572
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:06,840
So they have...

2573
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,240
So the style guides...

2574
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:09,940
And I just caught this.

2575
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:11,000
And I...

2576
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:12,080
See if you can catch it.

2577
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:13,580
It's kind of a...

2578
01:29:13,580 --> 01:29:15,160
The way I edit it is kind of

2579
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:15,520
a giveaway.

2580
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:17,860
But I thought this was quite interesting.

2581
01:29:17,980 --> 01:29:19,660
This is the NPR one clip.

2582
01:29:20,100 --> 01:29:22,500
Reaction to President Trump's plan to end the

2583
01:29:22,500 --> 01:29:24,580
nearly two-year war in Gaza is being

2584
01:29:24,580 --> 01:29:26,600
viewed cautiously by residents there.

2585
01:29:27,380 --> 01:29:29,860
Both Israel and Hamas say they endorse Trump's

2586
01:29:29,860 --> 01:29:30,840
20-point plan.

2587
01:29:31,300 --> 01:29:33,220
But details have yet to be worked out.

2588
01:29:33,860 --> 01:29:35,500
NPR's Carrie Khan reports.

2589
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,520
Residents in Gaza, like Iman Abu-Akhlain, a

2590
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:40,500
48-year-old mother of four, says the

2591
01:29:40,500 --> 01:29:42,700
news of a deal is some relief.

2592
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:47,600
It's like we've been bottled up so tightly,

2593
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:49,200
and now we can take a breath.

2594
01:29:49,580 --> 01:29:51,560
Just a small one, as we are still

2595
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:53,220
living in a nightmare, she says.

2596
01:29:53,860 --> 01:29:56,360
Israel's military says it's getting ready to implement

2597
01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:58,700
Trump's plan and has moved to a defensive

2598
01:29:58,700 --> 01:30:01,300
-only position, according to an official not authorized

2599
01:30:01,300 --> 01:30:03,080
to speak to the media on the record.

2600
01:30:03,580 --> 01:30:06,680
However, Gaza health officials say airstrikes continued overnight,

2601
01:30:06,860 --> 01:30:08,320
killing and wounding Gazans.

2602
01:30:10,590 --> 01:30:11,070
Okay.

2603
01:30:12,190 --> 01:30:14,430
Killing Gazans, not Palestinians.

2604
01:30:15,030 --> 01:30:16,710
Oh, good catch.

2605
01:30:17,590 --> 01:30:19,170
Oh, it's already shifting.

2606
01:30:19,730 --> 01:30:21,030
It's starting to shift.

2607
01:30:21,170 --> 01:30:23,230
Now, we'll see if we start hearing the

2608
01:30:23,230 --> 01:30:24,670
term Gazans.

2609
01:30:24,990 --> 01:30:25,590
Gazans.

2610
01:30:26,190 --> 01:30:27,910
Instead of Palestinians.

2611
01:30:28,370 --> 01:30:29,710
It's like saying New Yorkers.

2612
01:30:30,730 --> 01:30:33,310
Swapping it, you know, swapping out a term

2613
01:30:33,310 --> 01:30:33,690
here.

2614
01:30:33,870 --> 01:30:35,210
Oh, very good catch.

2615
01:30:35,310 --> 01:30:35,670
There's a reason for it.

2616
01:30:35,750 --> 01:30:36,870
Very good catch.

2617
01:30:37,870 --> 01:30:39,530
So, I found that to be, that really

2618
01:30:39,530 --> 01:30:40,470
stopped me in my tracks.

2619
01:30:40,570 --> 01:30:41,890
That's where I ended the clip with it.

2620
01:30:42,090 --> 01:30:42,970
Yeah, that's good.

2621
01:30:44,130 --> 01:30:45,530
There's a part two to this, if you

2622
01:30:45,530 --> 01:30:46,090
want to hear it.

2623
01:30:46,110 --> 01:30:47,350
It just kind of wraps it up.

2624
01:30:47,430 --> 01:30:49,030
Well, it was very short, I think.

2625
01:30:49,350 --> 01:30:50,210
So, yeah, of course.

2626
01:30:50,690 --> 01:30:52,930
Israel is preparing a team for face-to

2627
01:30:52,930 --> 01:30:55,350
-face talks, as the U.S. also sends

2628
01:30:55,350 --> 01:30:58,030
envoys to Cairo, according to two people briefed

2629
01:30:58,030 --> 01:30:59,770
but not authorized to speak publicly.

2630
01:31:00,550 --> 01:31:01,850
Okay, of course, sources.

2631
01:31:02,750 --> 01:31:03,730
Yeah, nothing there.

2632
01:31:03,730 --> 01:31:09,790
Meanwhile, this Gen Z color revolution around the

2633
01:31:09,790 --> 01:31:11,390
world is very interesting.

2634
01:31:12,290 --> 01:31:13,870
Yeah, I have a clip on this, too.

2635
01:31:14,410 --> 01:31:15,690
Okay, you want to play yours first?

2636
01:31:16,130 --> 01:31:17,970
Well, mine is just about specific.

2637
01:31:18,070 --> 01:31:19,990
It's a specific one of these Gen Z.

2638
01:31:20,110 --> 01:31:22,230
We picked this up when it started in

2639
01:31:22,230 --> 01:31:22,630
Nepal.

2640
01:31:23,150 --> 01:31:25,870
This is the Gen Z 212.

2641
01:31:27,610 --> 01:31:30,450
Morocco's biggest anti-government process in years turned

2642
01:31:30,450 --> 01:31:31,290
deadly this week.

2643
01:31:31,290 --> 01:31:34,070
The demonstrations are led by a coalition of

2644
01:31:34,070 --> 01:31:37,690
Moroccan youth who call themselves Gen Z 212,

2645
01:31:38,190 --> 01:31:39,890
named for the nation's dialing code.

2646
01:31:40,470 --> 01:31:42,530
The group says the government is pouring billions

2647
01:31:42,530 --> 01:31:45,650
of dollars into infrastructure for the 2030 FIFA

2648
01:31:45,650 --> 01:31:48,850
World Cup while neglecting domestic issues like health

2649
01:31:48,850 --> 01:31:49,710
care and education.

2650
01:31:50,410 --> 01:31:53,170
Demonstrations began across Morocco a week ago, and

2651
01:31:53,170 --> 01:31:54,190
some have become violent.

2652
01:31:54,650 --> 01:31:56,830
This week, three protesters were killed.

2653
01:31:58,790 --> 01:32:02,130
So the Nepal thing was actually staring me

2654
01:32:02,130 --> 01:32:03,730
in the face because, you know, I looked

2655
01:32:03,730 --> 01:32:06,070
at the map, Nepal between India and China.

2656
01:32:06,250 --> 01:32:06,870
Oh, hello.

2657
01:32:07,370 --> 01:32:08,910
They wanted to join BRICS.

2658
01:32:09,450 --> 01:32:11,270
Well, no, you're not joining BRICS.

2659
01:32:11,330 --> 01:32:14,190
You're not going to connect India and China

2660
01:32:14,190 --> 01:32:16,610
to make it a whole BRICS segment there.

2661
01:32:16,670 --> 01:32:17,610
You're not going to do that.

2662
01:32:17,830 --> 01:32:19,750
We're going to send the Gen Zs on

2663
01:32:19,750 --> 01:32:19,970
you.

2664
01:32:20,470 --> 01:32:22,630
I have a little bit longer clip of

2665
01:32:22,630 --> 01:32:24,730
Morocco, which is still going on, the Gen

2666
01:32:24,730 --> 01:32:25,750
Z 212.

2667
01:32:26,830 --> 01:32:30,430
And what's very obvious is that it's very

2668
01:32:30,430 --> 01:32:31,890
much like the BLM riots.

2669
01:32:32,310 --> 01:32:34,970
You get everybody out there for social means,

2670
01:32:35,070 --> 01:32:37,230
like, hey, you know, it's like we're spending

2671
01:32:37,230 --> 01:32:38,570
all their money to Israel.

2672
01:32:39,070 --> 01:32:40,230
We're against that.

2673
01:32:40,290 --> 01:32:41,010
We don't want that.

2674
01:32:41,050 --> 01:32:43,230
And then you send in the agitators, the

2675
01:32:43,230 --> 01:32:45,370
people with the umbrellas who start smashing the

2676
01:32:45,370 --> 01:32:47,130
windows and throwing the firebombs.

2677
01:32:47,190 --> 01:32:48,170
And then you've got a mess.

2678
01:32:48,530 --> 01:32:50,250
And then it's still the it's the Gen

2679
01:32:50,250 --> 01:32:52,430
Zs who are very upset about how the

2680
01:32:52,430 --> 01:32:54,530
government is spending money and not on them.

2681
01:32:54,530 --> 01:32:56,750
Anger has not abated in Morocco.

2682
01:32:57,670 --> 01:33:00,510
For nights on end, protesters have united against

2683
01:33:00,510 --> 01:33:03,150
the government, demanding better public services.

2684
01:33:03,870 --> 01:33:06,070
In some instances, it has turned violent.

2685
01:33:06,810 --> 01:33:09,630
Buildings have been set alight and properties destroyed.

2686
01:33:10,430 --> 01:33:14,790
Many citizens feel the isolated incidents undermine demonstrators'

2687
01:33:15,130 --> 01:33:16,310
legitimate demands.

2688
01:33:17,730 --> 01:33:20,310
We support the protests but reject the destruction.

2689
01:33:20,550 --> 01:33:22,230
If we all want to protect public freedom,

2690
01:33:22,390 --> 01:33:24,450
demand dignity and call for social justice, we

2691
01:33:24,450 --> 01:33:26,910
must understand that social justice means giving everyone

2692
01:33:26,910 --> 01:33:27,470
their rights.

2693
01:33:29,910 --> 01:33:32,310
As a Moroccan youth, I reject this ugly

2694
01:33:32,310 --> 01:33:34,550
behavior of destruction and violence.

2695
01:33:35,070 --> 01:33:38,050
Through peaceful protests, we came out demanding our

2696
01:33:38,050 --> 01:33:41,490
legitimate rights to proper health care and education.

2697
01:33:41,910 --> 01:33:45,310
The initial peaceful gatherings began on Saturday, loosely

2698
01:33:45,310 --> 01:33:48,470
organized by Morocco's Gen Z 212 group.

2699
01:33:48,470 --> 01:33:52,210
So I found it was mind-blowing on

2700
01:33:52,210 --> 01:33:55,290
this France 24.

2701
01:33:56,610 --> 01:33:59,890
Yes, they had a whole segment on Gen

2702
01:33:59,890 --> 01:34:02,650
Z, on all the Gen Z revolutions, which

2703
01:34:02,650 --> 01:34:04,090
I thought was very interesting.

2704
01:34:04,370 --> 01:34:06,490
What do all these protests have in common?

2705
01:34:06,830 --> 01:34:09,410
Yes, they are all protests across Asia and

2706
01:34:09,410 --> 01:34:09,790
Africa.

2707
01:34:10,070 --> 01:34:11,390
But there is something more.

2708
01:34:11,730 --> 01:34:14,730
Corruption, lack of jobs, poverty, block of social

2709
01:34:14,730 --> 01:34:15,470
media platforms.

2710
01:34:15,470 --> 01:34:18,050
These are just some of the problems stretching

2711
01:34:18,050 --> 01:34:21,410
from Sri Lanka to the Philippines, Bangladesh, Nepal,

2712
01:34:21,770 --> 01:34:23,330
Morocco and Madagascar.

2713
01:34:23,550 --> 01:34:26,570
Protests have been ongoing for months, all starting

2714
01:34:26,570 --> 01:34:29,250
in one main way, led by Gen Z,

2715
01:34:29,370 --> 01:34:33,130
the generation born between 1997 and 2012, and

2716
01:34:33,130 --> 01:34:34,830
organized through social media.

2717
01:34:35,050 --> 01:34:37,590
In Morocco, protests were launched by the anonymous

2718
01:34:37,590 --> 01:34:41,090
youth collective called Gen Z 212 on the

2719
01:34:41,090 --> 01:34:44,410
platform Discord, referring both to Generation Z and

2720
01:34:44,410 --> 01:34:46,470
the country's dialing code 212.

2721
01:34:46,790 --> 01:34:50,310
The more than 120,000 members demand reforms

2722
01:34:50,310 --> 01:34:53,610
in health and education and criticize the sums

2723
01:34:53,610 --> 01:34:56,310
invested in the 2030 World Cup at the

2724
01:34:56,310 --> 01:34:57,710
expense of public services.

2725
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,630
In Kenya, with the hashtag Ruto Must Go

2726
01:35:00,630 --> 01:35:03,070
and the telegram group Gen Z Revo 2,

2727
01:35:03,230 --> 01:35:07,030
Gen Z has mobilized against unemployment, tax hikes

2728
01:35:07,030 --> 01:35:10,330
and high living costs, sweeping protests across Nairobi

2729
01:35:10,330 --> 01:35:12,930
and even breaching the walls of parliament.

2730
01:35:12,930 --> 01:35:17,070
Madagascar, one of the world's poorest nations, has

2731
01:35:17,070 --> 01:35:20,170
seen Gen Z group rise up against blackouts

2732
01:35:20,170 --> 01:35:22,930
and water shortages, leading to the dissolution of

2733
01:35:22,930 --> 01:35:25,770
the government, but also leaving at least 22

2734
01:35:25,770 --> 01:35:26,790
people dead.

2735
01:35:26,910 --> 01:35:30,110
In Nepal, Gen Z outrage erupted after thousands

2736
01:35:30,110 --> 01:35:33,010
of young people were posted images and videos

2737
01:35:33,010 --> 01:35:37,450
online, showing the luxurious lifestyles of politicians' children,

2738
01:35:37,910 --> 01:35:40,550
shared with hashtags like Nepal Kids and Nepal

2739
01:35:40,550 --> 01:35:41,210
Babies.

2740
01:35:41,210 --> 01:35:44,390
Despite social media ban, youth has organized mass

2741
01:35:44,390 --> 01:35:47,110
protests against corruption and inequality.

2742
01:35:47,510 --> 01:35:49,510
And the Philippines have seen the student and

2743
01:35:49,510 --> 01:35:52,710
youth network Tamana, along with others, leading the

2744
01:35:52,710 --> 01:35:56,090
recent marches in Manila over alleged corruption in

2745
01:35:56,090 --> 01:35:58,930
flood control and infrastructure projects.

2746
01:35:59,110 --> 01:36:01,730
Everywhere, the youth lead and dress, the use

2747
01:36:01,730 --> 01:36:04,810
of digital platforms for organization, the cross-border

2748
01:36:04,810 --> 01:36:05,630
inspiration.

2749
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:10,010
These mobilizations do not necessarily or immediately result

2750
01:36:10,010 --> 01:36:11,250
in lasting reforms.

2751
01:36:11,430 --> 01:36:13,550
But it's clear that this generation doesn't want

2752
01:36:13,550 --> 01:36:15,130
to survive in a falling system.

2753
01:36:15,610 --> 01:36:18,230
They want to voice their grievances and transform

2754
01:36:18,230 --> 01:36:19,010
it radically.

2755
01:36:19,750 --> 01:36:22,790
So this is some bull crap right here.

2756
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:26,310
Oh, Gen Z, the Gen Z is the

2757
01:36:26,310 --> 01:36:28,190
most wussy generation ever.

2758
01:36:28,310 --> 01:36:30,830
They're not starting any revolt.

2759
01:36:30,830 --> 01:36:34,030
This has op written all over and it

2760
01:36:34,030 --> 01:36:36,190
has an intelligence agency written all over it.

2761
01:36:36,230 --> 01:36:38,770
But which one and why?

2762
01:36:38,830 --> 01:36:39,670
I'm going to tell you.

2763
01:36:40,010 --> 01:36:41,230
Asia and Africa.

2764
01:36:42,110 --> 01:36:44,610
Who has the interest in Asia and Africa?

2765
01:36:45,130 --> 01:36:48,110
It's always been the British crown, Canada.

2766
01:36:49,230 --> 01:36:51,290
I'll give the North Sea Nexus a break

2767
01:36:51,290 --> 01:36:51,850
on this one.

2768
01:36:52,210 --> 01:36:54,950
So I was corrected by many people about

2769
01:36:54,950 --> 01:36:56,750
Discord, because all this, oh, it starts on

2770
01:36:56,750 --> 01:36:57,990
Discord, starts on Discord.

2771
01:36:58,350 --> 01:37:00,170
And I said, it's an open source platform.

2772
01:37:00,170 --> 01:37:01,830
I was corrected by a number of producers.

2773
01:37:01,990 --> 01:37:02,330
No, no.

2774
01:37:02,670 --> 01:37:05,070
There's a lot of open source projects that

2775
01:37:05,070 --> 01:37:07,310
are run and managed on Discord.

2776
01:37:08,010 --> 01:37:11,170
But Discord is a complete company product.

2777
01:37:11,730 --> 01:37:13,250
You get it for free.

2778
01:37:13,370 --> 01:37:15,010
Now, when you get something for free, you're

2779
01:37:15,010 --> 01:37:15,750
actually the product.

2780
01:37:15,870 --> 01:37:16,450
We know that.

2781
01:37:16,990 --> 01:37:20,890
The business model is very odd of Discord.

2782
01:37:21,370 --> 01:37:25,510
You can have a turbo Discord where you

2783
01:37:25,510 --> 01:37:27,750
can actually give the company money and raise

2784
01:37:27,750 --> 01:37:29,930
money for your Discord server.

2785
01:37:29,930 --> 01:37:33,750
You can get extra benefits and more expansive

2786
01:37:33,750 --> 01:37:35,530
features.

2787
01:37:36,110 --> 01:37:37,750
They do have some advertising.

2788
01:37:38,170 --> 01:37:39,950
I'm looking at this company, and it's founded

2789
01:37:39,950 --> 01:37:42,650
by two nerds who are gamers.

2790
01:37:43,230 --> 01:37:48,250
But if you look at their timeline on

2791
01:37:48,250 --> 01:37:52,710
their Aboot page, spring 2025, Jason, he's one

2792
01:37:52,710 --> 01:37:54,050
of the co-founders, one of the nerds,

2793
01:37:54,370 --> 01:37:57,410
announces his transition from CEO to board member

2794
01:37:57,410 --> 01:37:58,050
and advisor.

2795
01:37:58,710 --> 01:38:03,010
And Humam Sakhnini becomes Discord's new CEO.

2796
01:38:03,850 --> 01:38:07,330
Sakhnini brings deep gaming industry experience from leadership

2797
01:38:07,330 --> 01:38:09,830
roles at Activision, Blizzard, and King.

2798
01:38:10,310 --> 01:38:12,070
So I go look at this guy.

2799
01:38:12,850 --> 01:38:14,970
Well, isn't this guy very interesting?

2800
01:38:16,130 --> 01:38:18,550
He initially worked for the investment bank Nesbit

2801
01:38:18,550 --> 01:38:21,810
Burns, Canadian crown, for the Department of Finance

2802
01:38:21,810 --> 01:38:22,570
in Canada.

2803
01:38:22,750 --> 01:38:25,690
This is a London, City of London guy.

2804
01:38:25,690 --> 01:38:28,010
Participated in the 20th Annual Meeting of the

2805
01:38:28,010 --> 01:38:30,290
Canadian Economics Association in Calgary.

2806
01:38:30,490 --> 01:38:33,310
Authored three of Department of Finance's fiscal policy

2807
01:38:33,310 --> 01:38:35,870
and economic analysis branch working papers.

2808
01:38:37,530 --> 01:38:40,070
He argued in favor of pre-funding pension

2809
01:38:40,070 --> 01:38:40,470
plans.

2810
01:38:40,550 --> 01:38:41,650
It sounds like a gamer to me.

2811
01:38:42,330 --> 01:38:45,090
He later founded and co-directed the financial

2812
01:38:45,090 --> 01:38:49,310
technology group firm IS Group, which provided services

2813
01:38:49,310 --> 01:38:51,170
to mutual funds and hedge funds.

2814
01:38:51,570 --> 01:38:55,150
Let's look at his education, shall we?

2815
01:38:56,670 --> 01:38:59,570
Graduated Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the

2816
01:38:59,570 --> 01:39:02,610
University of Western Ontario before receiving a Master

2817
01:39:02,610 --> 01:39:05,290
of Arts in Economics from the Queen's University.

2818
01:39:06,210 --> 01:39:08,250
He earned a Masters of Business Administration degree

2819
01:39:08,250 --> 01:39:08,990
from Yale.

2820
01:39:09,710 --> 01:39:11,510
This guy is an op.

2821
01:39:11,850 --> 01:39:14,010
And the minute he comes in, not three

2822
01:39:14,010 --> 01:39:16,950
months later, all of a sudden Discord is

2823
01:39:16,950 --> 01:39:19,350
the platform of choice for all of these

2824
01:39:19,350 --> 01:39:20,790
Gen Z revolutions.

2825
01:39:21,250 --> 01:39:22,110
There's your op.

2826
01:39:23,030 --> 01:39:25,010
It's blatant right there.

2827
01:39:25,010 --> 01:39:27,190
Spent eight years as partner at McKinsey and

2828
01:39:27,190 --> 01:39:27,510
Company.

2829
01:39:28,350 --> 01:39:29,470
You know what?

2830
01:39:29,510 --> 01:39:31,550
This guy's absolutely a gamer.

2831
01:39:33,070 --> 01:39:36,370
He joined London-based King in April 2016

2832
01:39:36,370 --> 01:39:37,990
as Chief Financial Officer.

2833
01:39:38,530 --> 01:39:39,790
And of course, that's where he led the

2834
01:39:39,790 --> 01:39:42,030
acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

2835
01:39:42,290 --> 01:39:43,410
And you know what?

2836
01:39:43,830 --> 01:39:44,970
Well, I don't think he's an op.

2837
01:39:45,010 --> 01:39:45,630
He's a spook.

2838
01:39:46,150 --> 01:39:47,810
Well, a spook part of the op.

2839
01:39:48,270 --> 01:39:50,950
And it's clearly the Brits who are doing

2840
01:39:50,950 --> 01:39:51,150
this.

2841
01:39:51,150 --> 01:39:53,810
They have all the interest historically in Asia

2842
01:39:53,810 --> 01:39:54,450
and Africa.

2843
01:39:55,690 --> 01:39:58,590
It's like, OK, we see what you're doing.

2844
01:39:58,770 --> 01:40:01,650
And they have just as much benefit to

2845
01:40:01,650 --> 01:40:04,390
not seeing Bricks succeed as anybody else.

2846
01:40:04,510 --> 01:40:05,430
They still have the pound.

2847
01:40:05,570 --> 01:40:06,750
It's still a big deal to them.

2848
01:40:08,070 --> 01:40:11,510
So be very aware of Discord Gen Z

2849
01:40:11,510 --> 01:40:14,190
revolutions in our own country, which will be

2850
01:40:14,190 --> 01:40:17,370
a bunch of soy boys and girls go,

2851
01:40:17,930 --> 01:40:19,310
oh, what do we want?

2852
01:40:19,430 --> 01:40:20,950
We want democracy.

2853
01:40:21,230 --> 01:40:22,310
When do we want it?

2854
01:40:22,490 --> 01:40:24,090
We want it whenever you give it to

2855
01:40:24,090 --> 01:40:24,350
us.

2856
01:40:24,730 --> 01:40:25,230
Yeah.

2857
01:40:25,390 --> 01:40:27,610
And then we have a lot of Gen

2858
01:40:27,610 --> 01:40:29,830
Zers that listen to this show that are

2859
01:40:29,830 --> 01:40:32,290
more than happy to tell us what they

2860
01:40:32,290 --> 01:40:32,770
think.

2861
01:40:33,070 --> 01:40:34,650
Yes, I'm looking forward to it.

2862
01:40:35,010 --> 01:40:37,930
And calling them out as a bunch of

2863
01:40:37,930 --> 01:40:41,810
wimps is probably not necessarily 100% true.

2864
01:40:42,070 --> 01:40:43,590
I'm generalizing, obviously.

2865
01:40:43,850 --> 01:40:44,830
I'm generalizing.

2866
01:40:45,170 --> 01:40:46,210
You're generalizing.

2867
01:40:46,430 --> 01:40:47,010
Yeah, of course.

2868
01:40:47,450 --> 01:40:48,910
Obviously, I'm generalizing.

2869
01:40:50,930 --> 01:40:52,450
Meanwhile, we've got Europe.

2870
01:40:52,830 --> 01:40:54,190
But I'm with you.

2871
01:40:54,250 --> 01:40:57,150
I don't believe that there is a 212

2872
01:40:57,150 --> 01:40:58,450
thing and all the rest of it in

2873
01:40:58,450 --> 01:41:01,970
these obscure countries where you have this where

2874
01:41:01,970 --> 01:41:02,970
they're rioting.

2875
01:41:03,090 --> 01:41:07,050
And it's just obviously been co-opted is

2876
01:41:07,050 --> 01:41:07,450
the old.

2877
01:41:07,570 --> 01:41:09,170
It would get some old terms here.

2878
01:41:09,310 --> 01:41:09,570
Yes.

2879
01:41:09,710 --> 01:41:11,430
Old communist terms of co-option.

2880
01:41:11,850 --> 01:41:13,630
These guys are co-opted in some way.

2881
01:41:13,690 --> 01:41:14,450
And they've got leaders.

2882
01:41:14,450 --> 01:41:16,810
It's not leaderless, but the leader is probably

2883
01:41:16,810 --> 01:41:18,050
not Gen Z at all.

2884
01:41:18,670 --> 01:41:20,110
And the whole thing is corrupted.

2885
01:41:20,870 --> 01:41:22,850
Gen Z is a generalization by itself.

2886
01:41:22,870 --> 01:41:24,610
It's like boomer, like all boomers.

2887
01:41:24,770 --> 01:41:25,830
I mean, I'm not even officially.

2888
01:41:25,970 --> 01:41:28,130
Well, OK, I don't feel like a boomer,

2889
01:41:28,190 --> 01:41:29,830
but put me as a boomer, Gen X,

2890
01:41:29,910 --> 01:41:30,310
whatever.

2891
01:41:31,070 --> 01:41:32,490
I feel like a teenager.

2892
01:41:34,470 --> 01:41:36,430
Finally, finally an opening for the show.

2893
01:41:36,510 --> 01:41:37,250
I've been waiting for it.

2894
01:41:37,250 --> 01:41:40,210
Well, I have the sense of humor for

2895
01:41:40,210 --> 01:41:40,470
it.

2896
01:41:40,470 --> 01:41:44,850
Um, so meanwhile, let's sigh up the European

2897
01:41:44,850 --> 01:41:47,350
Union a little bit more because we still

2898
01:41:47,350 --> 01:41:49,790
need to borrow all these hundreds of millions

2899
01:41:49,790 --> 01:41:52,090
for the omnibus, for the omnibus to get

2900
01:41:52,090 --> 01:41:53,610
the drone wall implemented.

2901
01:41:53,710 --> 01:41:54,790
We need the drone wall.

2902
01:41:54,870 --> 01:41:56,490
We need more money, more money, more money.

2903
01:41:56,570 --> 01:41:57,810
I have an idea.

2904
01:41:58,030 --> 01:41:59,250
Oh, check this out.

2905
01:41:59,490 --> 01:42:01,970
Munich Airport says it is gradually resuming flights

2906
01:42:01,970 --> 01:42:04,790
after more drones were spotted early this Saturday.

2907
01:42:05,270 --> 01:42:07,210
The airport shut down Friday evening for the

2908
01:42:07,210 --> 01:42:09,490
second day in a row over drone sightings

2909
01:42:09,490 --> 01:42:11,630
with dozens of flights and more than 6000

2910
01:42:11,630 --> 01:42:12,830
passengers affected.

2911
01:42:13,510 --> 01:42:15,810
More delays are expected throughout the day.

2912
01:42:16,370 --> 01:42:18,770
Airports in Denmark, Norway and Poland have all

2913
01:42:18,770 --> 01:42:21,950
recently suspended flights due to unidentified drones.

2914
01:42:22,370 --> 01:42:25,310
Some European countries have directly blamed Russia, but

2915
01:42:25,310 --> 01:42:27,370
Moscow has denied allegations.

2916
01:42:27,970 --> 01:42:29,810
Here's Germany's interior minister.

2917
01:42:31,050 --> 01:42:33,290
We are in a race between drone threats

2918
01:42:33,290 --> 01:42:34,350
and drone defense.

2919
01:42:34,510 --> 01:42:35,150
It's a race.

2920
01:42:35,290 --> 01:42:37,930
We want to and must win this race.

2921
01:42:37,930 --> 01:42:39,890
That is why it is important to take

2922
01:42:39,890 --> 01:42:42,190
the necessary measures at the European level to

2923
01:42:42,190 --> 01:42:46,370
upgrade our technology, pool our expertise and ensure

2924
01:42:46,370 --> 01:42:48,830
that drone defense technology is also developed in

2925
01:42:48,830 --> 01:42:53,090
Europe in cooperation with partners from Israel and

2926
01:42:53,090 --> 01:42:53,610
Ukraine.

2927
01:42:53,910 --> 01:42:54,830
Ah, bring in Israel.

2928
01:42:54,970 --> 01:42:55,330
Perfect.

2929
01:42:56,470 --> 01:42:58,810
Yeah, we need the drone technology.

2930
01:42:59,270 --> 01:43:00,630
Oh my goodness.

2931
01:43:01,450 --> 01:43:02,290
Yeah, drones.

2932
01:43:02,430 --> 01:43:04,510
Yeah, we have anti-drones because that'll stop

2933
01:43:04,510 --> 01:43:05,470
an ICBM.

2934
01:43:06,210 --> 01:43:09,910
Oh, and then flights are canceled.

2935
01:43:10,070 --> 01:43:11,870
It's because of the Russian drones.

2936
01:43:12,190 --> 01:43:13,270
What a sigh up.

2937
01:43:13,810 --> 01:43:16,970
And then Ursula, the moron that she is

2938
01:43:16,970 --> 01:43:17,470
hair.

2939
01:43:17,630 --> 01:43:19,190
We're going to call her hair Ursula from

2940
01:43:19,190 --> 01:43:20,050
now on.

2941
01:43:20,230 --> 01:43:21,650
Hair Ursula.

2942
01:43:22,010 --> 01:43:23,150
As she is.

2943
01:43:23,410 --> 01:43:25,530
Well, you could be spelled H-A-I

2944
01:43:25,530 --> 01:43:25,850
-R.

2945
01:43:26,530 --> 01:43:27,550
Oh, that's a good one, too.

2946
01:43:28,070 --> 01:43:29,010
Hair Ursula.

2947
01:43:29,630 --> 01:43:32,530
She's got, you know, we're not done, Europe.

2948
01:43:32,530 --> 01:43:33,450
We're not done.

2949
01:43:33,450 --> 01:43:36,510
The race is just getting started.

2950
01:43:36,650 --> 01:43:38,550
It's not too late for us to get

2951
01:43:38,550 --> 01:43:39,710
in on this scam.

2952
01:43:39,930 --> 01:43:40,550
Too often.

2953
01:43:40,650 --> 01:43:43,510
I hear that Europe is late to the

2954
01:43:43,510 --> 01:43:44,450
race.

2955
01:43:44,810 --> 01:43:47,430
The skeptics say we will repeat the main

2956
01:43:47,430 --> 01:43:50,330
mistakes of the past and another generation of

2957
01:43:50,330 --> 01:43:52,610
European talents will be forced to leave.

2958
01:43:52,710 --> 01:43:58,470
I strongly disagree, not only because the race

2959
01:43:58,470 --> 01:44:01,590
is still warming up, but also because I've

2960
01:44:01,590 --> 01:44:04,630
seen what Europeans can do when we set

2961
01:44:04,630 --> 01:44:06,490
our eyes on a goal.

2962
01:44:06,870 --> 01:44:08,650
What has Europe done for me lately?

2963
01:44:09,530 --> 01:44:13,390
What what fantastic technology has Europe brought us?

2964
01:44:13,530 --> 01:44:15,630
Well, you know, when AI is in the

2965
01:44:15,630 --> 01:44:15,890
loop.

2966
01:44:16,030 --> 01:44:17,770
Because when AI is in the loop, we

2967
01:44:17,770 --> 01:44:23,890
reach better solutions fast, reliable, affordable, reliable, affordable.

2968
01:44:24,310 --> 01:44:25,330
It's safe and effective.

2969
01:44:25,710 --> 01:44:28,370
Some of your startups are already pioneering it.

2970
01:44:28,610 --> 01:44:30,030
I don't know of a single one.

2971
01:44:30,030 --> 01:44:31,570
Let me tell you, I'm a medical doctor

2972
01:44:31,570 --> 01:44:32,230
by training.

2973
01:44:32,610 --> 01:44:36,010
I'm amazed what AI can do in medicines.

2974
01:44:36,790 --> 01:44:39,690
AI can assist doctors in diagnosing cancer much,

2975
01:44:40,010 --> 01:44:44,310
much earlier or accelerate innovative medicines discovery.

2976
01:44:44,490 --> 01:44:48,630
The big promise of AI, innovative medicine discovery

2977
01:44:48,630 --> 01:44:49,870
and detecting cancer.

2978
01:44:50,070 --> 01:44:51,870
What she's talking about, what's it got to

2979
01:44:51,870 --> 01:44:52,470
do with Europe?

2980
01:44:52,670 --> 01:44:53,550
It's all Ellison.

2981
01:44:53,810 --> 01:44:54,570
It's all Oracle.

2982
01:44:54,730 --> 01:44:56,190
That's the promise of Stargate.

2983
01:44:56,290 --> 01:44:56,990
But you know what?

2984
01:44:57,370 --> 01:44:58,530
Europe can do it.

2985
01:44:58,530 --> 01:45:01,250
We will spare no effort to make Europe

2986
01:45:01,250 --> 01:45:02,530
an AI continent.

2987
01:45:02,790 --> 01:45:04,290
That means no expense.

2988
01:45:07,690 --> 01:45:11,350
We will spare no effort to make Europe

2989
01:45:11,350 --> 01:45:12,690
an AI continent.

2990
01:45:13,290 --> 01:45:16,770
We will spare no effort to make you

2991
01:45:16,770 --> 01:45:20,650
choose Europe because this is the great mission

2992
01:45:20,650 --> 01:45:21,690
of our times.

2993
01:45:22,050 --> 01:45:23,550
Thank you for inviting me.

2994
01:45:23,550 --> 01:45:25,890
And long live Europe.

2995
01:45:35,230 --> 01:45:38,850
My Lord, that is insane.

2996
01:45:39,650 --> 01:45:41,530
Well, at least she didn't mention quantum.

2997
01:45:42,250 --> 01:45:44,230
No, well, I haven't seen the whole speech.

2998
01:45:44,270 --> 01:45:44,930
I'm sure she did.

2999
01:45:45,410 --> 01:45:49,270
Now, before we move on, I just need

3000
01:45:49,270 --> 01:45:51,950
to stop because we have now reached peak

3001
01:45:51,950 --> 01:45:52,470
AI.

3002
01:45:53,090 --> 01:45:56,270
This is an amazing thing that is happening.

3003
01:45:56,810 --> 01:45:58,830
And this is SORA 2.

3004
01:45:59,310 --> 01:46:02,050
Have you heard of, seen it, or are

3005
01:46:02,050 --> 01:46:03,090
you aware of SORA 2?

3006
01:46:03,570 --> 01:46:05,410
JC has brought me up to speed on

3007
01:46:05,410 --> 01:46:05,550
it.

3008
01:46:05,790 --> 01:46:11,250
SORA 2, I have a two-parter here

3009
01:46:11,250 --> 01:46:17,250
of Shibesh talking to a WIRED reporter because,

3010
01:46:17,470 --> 01:46:18,890
of course, if you really want to know

3011
01:46:18,890 --> 01:46:22,170
what's going on in technology, WIRED is still

3012
01:46:22,170 --> 01:46:22,450
relevant.

3013
01:46:23,090 --> 01:46:24,830
SORA is it, baby.

3014
01:46:25,030 --> 01:46:27,710
Today, we're announcing the SORA app powered by

3015
01:46:27,710 --> 01:46:28,910
the all-new SORA 2.

3016
01:46:29,130 --> 01:46:31,530
Well, that may look and sound just like

3017
01:46:31,530 --> 01:46:34,550
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, but it's actually a

3018
01:46:34,550 --> 01:46:39,570
video generated completely by AI using the company's

3019
01:46:39,570 --> 01:46:41,450
new app, SORA 2.

3020
01:46:42,010 --> 01:46:44,350
OpenAI says it allows people to create and

3021
01:46:44,350 --> 01:46:48,650
share AI-generated video clips featuring themselves and

3022
01:46:48,650 --> 01:46:49,330
their friends.

3023
01:46:49,330 --> 01:46:51,930
Now, the clips posted by the company online

3024
01:46:51,930 --> 01:46:56,550
show how unrealistic scenarios can look hyper-realistic

3025
01:46:56,550 --> 01:46:57,650
using this tool.

3026
01:46:57,870 --> 01:46:58,950
All right, I got to bring in Zoe

3027
01:46:58,950 --> 01:47:01,350
Schiffer, the director of business and industry at

3028
01:47:01,350 --> 01:47:02,150
WIRED magazine.

3029
01:47:02,490 --> 01:47:05,270
Zoe, these videos are incredible.

3030
01:47:05,630 --> 01:47:07,110
Tell us a little more about this AI

3031
01:47:07,110 --> 01:47:09,810
tool and what people can do with it.

3032
01:47:10,130 --> 01:47:14,030
Yeah, so OpenAI first released SORA, their video

3033
01:47:14,030 --> 01:47:16,810
generation model, about a year ago.

3034
01:47:16,810 --> 01:47:18,870
Since then, a lot of other companies have

3035
01:47:18,870 --> 01:47:21,110
kind of jumped into the space and the

3036
01:47:21,110 --> 01:47:23,110
technology has been moving really, really fast.

3037
01:47:23,890 --> 01:47:26,990
During this time, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman basically

3038
01:47:26,990 --> 01:47:29,770
directed the team to start working on an

3039
01:47:29,770 --> 01:47:30,070
app.

3040
01:47:30,230 --> 01:47:33,830
The thinking was that just like ChatGPT allowed

3041
01:47:33,830 --> 01:47:36,850
people to kind of realize the potential of

3042
01:47:36,850 --> 01:47:40,390
generated text, creating kind of a TikTok-style

3043
01:47:40,390 --> 01:47:44,010
app to watch and create AI-generated videos

3044
01:47:44,010 --> 01:47:46,370
would be like a huge unlock to make

3045
01:47:46,370 --> 01:47:49,150
people realize the potential for video generation.

3046
01:47:49,350 --> 01:47:52,070
Now, I have some analysis about this SORA

3047
01:47:52,070 --> 01:47:52,610
2 app.

3048
01:47:52,650 --> 01:47:54,270
But first, we just have to finish with

3049
01:47:54,270 --> 01:47:55,350
this WIRED reporter.

3050
01:47:56,190 --> 01:47:58,350
I think you and I universally would agree

3051
01:47:58,350 --> 01:48:01,610
that most technology reporters are whores for the

3052
01:48:01,610 --> 01:48:02,770
technology companies.

3053
01:48:03,610 --> 01:48:05,730
And when you actually say that you're not,

3054
01:48:05,910 --> 01:48:07,570
that's like a red flag.

3055
01:48:07,710 --> 01:48:08,830
Yeah, you got to wonder what some of

3056
01:48:08,830 --> 01:48:10,670
these Hollywood directors are thinking about some of

3057
01:48:10,670 --> 01:48:12,790
these videos because they look so realistic.

3058
01:48:12,790 --> 01:48:13,530
So realistic.

3059
01:48:13,530 --> 01:48:16,410
And put yourself in Avatar or some of

3060
01:48:16,410 --> 01:48:17,730
these big blockbuster films.

3061
01:48:17,870 --> 01:48:19,510
It's amazing to see what they're able to

3062
01:48:19,510 --> 01:48:19,930
do.

3063
01:48:21,250 --> 01:48:23,830
Are they approaching, though, the safety concerns as

3064
01:48:23,830 --> 01:48:27,050
this technology becomes more and more advanced?

3065
01:48:27,170 --> 01:48:28,390
I mean, there's some scary stuff that can

3066
01:48:28,390 --> 01:48:29,050
come out of this too.

3067
01:48:29,050 --> 01:48:29,310
Scary stuff.

3068
01:48:29,470 --> 01:48:30,170
Yeah, absolutely.

3069
01:48:30,570 --> 01:48:31,970
And far be it for me to like

3070
01:48:31,970 --> 01:48:34,890
act as an OpenAI spokesperson, but as someone

3071
01:48:34,890 --> 01:48:37,150
who's reported on this company pretty deeply.

3072
01:48:37,150 --> 01:48:38,270
What does that even mean?

3073
01:48:38,350 --> 01:48:40,010
Far be it for me to act as

3074
01:48:40,010 --> 01:48:41,650
an OpenAI spokesperson.

3075
01:48:42,610 --> 01:48:44,630
Why would you even say that?

3076
01:48:47,670 --> 01:48:49,930
Far be it for me, which is a

3077
01:48:49,930 --> 01:48:52,470
phrase I don't think I've ever used in

3078
01:48:52,470 --> 01:48:54,490
my life, but I've heard it.

3079
01:48:55,010 --> 01:48:57,010
Far be it for me, which is just

3080
01:48:57,010 --> 01:48:59,510
crazy if you think it was trying to

3081
01:48:59,510 --> 01:49:01,890
figure out what it means, I would be

3082
01:49:01,890 --> 01:49:03,110
an AI spokesperson.

3083
01:49:03,610 --> 01:49:05,650
To act as an AI spokesperson.

3084
01:49:05,710 --> 01:49:10,410
Yeah, it's almost like a scripted comment.

3085
01:49:10,530 --> 01:49:12,830
Well, she's been read in and she's spouting

3086
01:49:12,830 --> 01:49:13,770
the company line.

3087
01:49:13,770 --> 01:49:15,090
That's what I think it means.

3088
01:49:15,130 --> 01:49:15,970
Yeah, absolutely.

3089
01:49:16,210 --> 01:49:17,670
And far be it for me to like

3090
01:49:17,670 --> 01:49:20,590
act as an OpenAI spokesperson, but as someone

3091
01:49:20,590 --> 01:49:23,330
who's reported on this company pretty deeply, I

3092
01:49:23,330 --> 01:49:24,570
will say that I actually.

3093
01:49:24,790 --> 01:49:27,130
Which means she's got inside knowledge, which means

3094
01:49:27,130 --> 01:49:27,750
she has access.

3095
01:49:27,750 --> 01:49:29,970
Yeah, and then she uses a performative I

3096
01:49:29,970 --> 01:49:30,990
will say.

3097
01:49:31,150 --> 01:49:31,350
Yes.

3098
01:49:31,390 --> 01:49:32,370
Why don't you just say it?

3099
01:49:32,510 --> 01:49:34,230
Why do you say I will say and

3100
01:49:34,230 --> 01:49:34,870
then you say it?

3101
01:49:34,890 --> 01:49:35,770
Why don't you just say it?

3102
01:49:36,610 --> 01:49:37,010
Exactly.

3103
01:49:37,530 --> 01:49:38,310
Yeah, absolutely.

3104
01:49:38,610 --> 01:49:40,070
And far be it for me to like

3105
01:49:40,070 --> 01:49:42,970
act as an OpenAI spokesperson, but as someone

3106
01:49:42,970 --> 01:49:45,730
who's reported on this company pretty deeply, I

3107
01:49:45,730 --> 01:49:48,010
will say that I actually do think they're

3108
01:49:48,010 --> 01:49:50,710
taking these concerns extremely seriously.

3109
01:49:50,990 --> 01:49:53,150
Earlier this week, the company rolled out parental

3110
01:49:53,150 --> 01:49:56,090
controls to help parents, you know, have a

3111
01:49:56,090 --> 01:49:58,550
little more oversight into their the accounts of

3112
01:49:58,550 --> 01:50:00,590
their children and specifically their teenagers.

3113
01:50:00,890 --> 01:50:03,150
When the Sora app rolled out, they like

3114
01:50:03,150 --> 01:50:04,690
kind of baked in some of those parental

3115
01:50:04,690 --> 01:50:07,090
controls specifically to allow parents to stop their

3116
01:50:07,090 --> 01:50:08,710
kids from like doom scrolling.

3117
01:50:08,710 --> 01:50:10,690
So I think that they're trying to be

3118
01:50:10,690 --> 01:50:13,310
proactive and get ahead of at least some

3119
01:50:13,310 --> 01:50:14,610
of the major concerns.

3120
01:50:15,170 --> 01:50:16,310
And to be clear, this is an app

3121
01:50:16,310 --> 01:50:18,210
that you can use, anybody can use on

3122
01:50:18,210 --> 01:50:21,250
their phone or tablet or computer, correct?

3123
01:50:21,510 --> 01:50:22,370
Yeah, exactly.

3124
01:50:22,510 --> 01:50:24,050
So you can download it now in the

3125
01:50:24,050 --> 01:50:24,390
app store.

3126
01:50:24,490 --> 01:50:25,830
I think at least today you need a

3127
01:50:25,830 --> 01:50:27,790
code from someone that's using it, but it's

3128
01:50:27,790 --> 01:50:29,190
already kind of taken off.

3129
01:50:29,230 --> 01:50:30,310
There's a lot of people jumping in.

3130
01:50:30,390 --> 01:50:31,590
There are some restrictions.

3131
01:50:31,590 --> 01:50:33,590
Like if you try and generate a video

3132
01:50:33,590 --> 01:50:36,150
of say Taylor Swift or even like Darth

3133
01:50:36,150 --> 01:50:37,390
Vader, it'll stop you.

3134
01:50:37,390 --> 01:50:39,950
It'll say that like there are copyright restrictions

3135
01:50:39,950 --> 01:50:41,750
that are baked in and won't allow you

3136
01:50:41,750 --> 01:50:42,330
to do that.

3137
01:50:42,450 --> 01:50:45,750
Yeah, her full performative was, I will say

3138
01:50:45,750 --> 01:50:46,990
I actually do believe.

3139
01:50:47,150 --> 01:50:47,990
That's impressive.

3140
01:50:48,150 --> 01:50:48,950
That's a mouthful.

3141
01:50:49,470 --> 01:50:52,490
So this is a brilliant move by OpenAI

3142
01:50:52,490 --> 01:50:56,930
because this is going to be, I could

3143
01:50:56,930 --> 01:50:58,490
already see it, highly addictive.

3144
01:50:58,650 --> 01:50:59,310
People love it.

3145
01:50:59,470 --> 01:51:01,370
Scaramanga got put out of business in like

3146
01:51:01,370 --> 01:51:04,750
one fell swoop or possibly he can open

3147
01:51:04,750 --> 01:51:07,330
a business depending on how he manages his

3148
01:51:07,330 --> 01:51:07,670
time.

3149
01:51:09,130 --> 01:51:11,270
The whole point of this, if you look

3150
01:51:11,270 --> 01:51:12,630
at the app, what is the first thing

3151
01:51:12,630 --> 01:51:13,490
it wants you to do?

3152
01:51:13,770 --> 01:51:14,790
Scan your face.

3153
01:51:15,790 --> 01:51:20,750
This thing is fresh content for OpenAI's large

3154
01:51:20,750 --> 01:51:24,270
language models and every numbnut is going to

3155
01:51:24,270 --> 01:51:24,690
do this.

3156
01:51:24,850 --> 01:51:27,410
Oh yeah, I put myself in this movie.

3157
01:51:27,670 --> 01:51:29,570
Let me show you my face.

3158
01:51:29,970 --> 01:51:30,970
Yeah, you got it.

3159
01:51:31,010 --> 01:51:31,450
You got it.

3160
01:51:31,450 --> 01:51:32,250
Oh, look at this.

3161
01:51:32,810 --> 01:51:35,150
Of course, they're going to be sued into

3162
01:51:35,150 --> 01:51:37,150
oblivion, but by then they'll already have what

3163
01:51:37,150 --> 01:51:37,630
they need.

3164
01:51:38,450 --> 01:51:45,550
They needed fresh photographic, videographic content because they

3165
01:51:45,550 --> 01:51:46,530
know where it's going.

3166
01:51:46,910 --> 01:51:49,590
They know that this whole notion of it's

3167
01:51:49,590 --> 01:51:50,170
for business.

3168
01:51:51,310 --> 01:51:54,810
They need to be generating video and pictures

3169
01:51:54,810 --> 01:51:58,050
and they need new content and I will

3170
01:51:58,050 --> 01:51:59,510
never put my face on it.

3171
01:51:59,510 --> 01:52:02,850
I would say, I think if there's pictures

3172
01:52:02,850 --> 01:52:04,770
of us out there, I think you should

3173
01:52:04,770 --> 01:52:06,890
just fill the entire internet with slop of

3174
01:52:06,890 --> 01:52:09,090
us, but I'll never put my face on

3175
01:52:09,090 --> 01:52:13,570
it because Taylor Swift shouldn't have any more

3176
01:52:13,570 --> 01:52:17,670
protection than I have by my likeness.

3177
01:52:19,170 --> 01:52:22,050
I think this is a move that is

3178
01:52:22,050 --> 01:52:25,050
blowing everybody out of the water and Google

3179
01:52:25,050 --> 01:52:26,590
is going to try and run and catch

3180
01:52:26,590 --> 01:52:28,410
up and it's going to cost them more

3181
01:52:28,410 --> 01:52:30,630
and more and more money and that's where

3182
01:52:30,630 --> 01:52:32,290
the next trillion dollars is going to have

3183
01:52:32,290 --> 01:52:34,410
to come because we're almost there, boys.

3184
01:52:34,570 --> 01:52:36,730
We just had another trillion dollars.

3185
01:52:36,870 --> 01:52:43,790
One of our young friends, she worked for

3186
01:52:43,790 --> 01:52:47,790
an AI recruiting company in Austin, not that

3187
01:52:47,790 --> 01:52:51,370
they were recruiting AI people, but they used

3188
01:52:51,370 --> 01:52:57,610
AI to match job openings with candidates and

3189
01:52:57,610 --> 01:52:59,910
she said it was 30-70.

3190
01:53:00,470 --> 01:53:02,870
30% will be great, 70% would

3191
01:53:02,870 --> 01:53:05,030
just not work and they're about to close

3192
01:53:05,030 --> 01:53:05,470
the doors.

3193
01:53:05,610 --> 01:53:07,130
They just couldn't make it work.

3194
01:53:07,190 --> 01:53:09,370
They always kept saying to their investors, if

3195
01:53:09,370 --> 01:53:10,850
we just have a little bit more, we're

3196
01:53:10,850 --> 01:53:11,670
almost there.

3197
01:53:11,870 --> 01:53:14,710
We can almost do perfect matches every single

3198
01:53:14,710 --> 01:53:14,990
time.

3199
01:53:15,070 --> 01:53:15,750
You can't.

3200
01:53:16,390 --> 01:53:18,330
This stuff is hallucinating.

3201
01:53:18,650 --> 01:53:19,850
You can't.

3202
01:53:19,890 --> 01:53:21,330
You can't get 100%.

3203
01:53:21,330 --> 01:53:23,470
You can get maybe up to 70, maybe

3204
01:53:23,470 --> 01:53:23,990
60.

3205
01:53:24,710 --> 01:53:26,850
This is a losing proposition.

3206
01:53:27,750 --> 01:53:30,990
So Altman just extended his life, I don't

3207
01:53:30,990 --> 01:53:33,670
know, his business life by maybe several years

3208
01:53:33,670 --> 01:53:35,950
because this thing, I think it's going to

3209
01:53:35,950 --> 01:53:36,830
overtake TikTok.

3210
01:53:39,030 --> 01:53:40,190
You want to dictate?

3211
01:53:40,550 --> 01:53:41,770
I disagree completely.

3212
01:53:42,330 --> 01:53:44,350
You disagree with it's going to overtake TikTok?

3213
01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:46,770
Yeah, because it's a piece of crap.

3214
01:53:48,150 --> 01:53:50,350
I got the lecture about this.

3215
01:53:50,450 --> 01:53:52,950
I was shown all the videos and even

3216
01:53:52,950 --> 01:53:55,930
JC admits that this stuff is not watchable.

3217
01:53:56,590 --> 01:53:58,470
Yeah, it's very good.

3218
01:53:58,610 --> 01:54:01,190
I mean, you see very high resolution images

3219
01:54:01,190 --> 01:54:03,350
of something happening that doesn't exist in real

3220
01:54:03,350 --> 01:54:05,690
life and a lot of it looks like

3221
01:54:05,690 --> 01:54:07,530
this has to be a real person, but

3222
01:54:07,530 --> 01:54:08,270
it's not.

3223
01:54:08,270 --> 01:54:10,730
But it is, there were some of these

3224
01:54:10,730 --> 01:54:13,790
videos, they were 30 seconds long and you

3225
01:54:13,790 --> 01:54:16,870
couldn't watch five seconds before you were bored

3226
01:54:16,870 --> 01:54:17,610
stiff.

3227
01:54:17,810 --> 01:54:19,630
I have a different opinion.

3228
01:54:20,170 --> 01:54:23,470
A real good TikTok video of a fat

3229
01:54:23,470 --> 01:54:25,630
chick falling on her butt off of a

3230
01:54:25,630 --> 01:54:29,350
bicycle is far superior to the garbage that

3231
01:54:29,350 --> 01:54:30,370
this thing is producing.

3232
01:54:30,890 --> 01:54:34,650
But the difference is you can put yourself

3233
01:54:34,650 --> 01:54:36,570
and your friends in the movie.

3234
01:54:36,570 --> 01:54:37,290
Oh, who cares?

3235
01:54:37,290 --> 01:54:38,170
Nobody cares.

3236
01:54:38,330 --> 01:54:40,230
I think that's I'm not going to I'm

3237
01:54:40,230 --> 01:54:41,430
not interested in that.

3238
01:54:41,590 --> 01:54:42,550
And I don't think it will be.

3239
01:54:42,690 --> 01:54:43,610
No, you're not.

3240
01:54:43,670 --> 01:54:44,270
I'm not either.

3241
01:54:44,370 --> 01:54:46,130
It will be the number one app within.

3242
01:54:46,410 --> 01:54:47,110
I don't think a lot.

3243
01:54:47,290 --> 01:54:47,790
You are.

3244
01:54:48,070 --> 01:54:50,370
We have to assume that we're not alone

3245
01:54:50,370 --> 01:54:51,330
in our thinking.

3246
01:54:53,370 --> 01:54:55,830
I'm giving you my my input.

3247
01:54:56,250 --> 01:54:57,710
I'm giving you my opinion.

3248
01:54:58,070 --> 01:55:00,130
Agree with me that we're not interested in

3249
01:55:00,130 --> 01:55:01,870
putting our faces on all these sorts of

3250
01:55:01,870 --> 01:55:02,010
things.

3251
01:55:02,110 --> 01:55:02,570
We aren't.

3252
01:55:02,570 --> 01:55:06,770
We're we we you and I are in

3253
01:55:06,770 --> 01:55:07,310
the majority.

3254
01:55:07,570 --> 01:55:09,130
You don't even use a phone.

3255
01:55:10,790 --> 01:55:12,930
So you're not you're in the minority.

3256
01:55:14,210 --> 01:55:15,510
You are in the minority.

3257
01:55:15,630 --> 01:55:16,490
You don't do self.

3258
01:55:16,530 --> 01:55:18,310
I am not in the minority when it

3259
01:55:18,310 --> 01:55:20,130
comes to when it comes to not using

3260
01:55:20,130 --> 01:55:21,590
the phone or keeping it in the drawer

3261
01:55:21,590 --> 01:55:23,070
to be to be straight about it.

3262
01:55:23,270 --> 01:55:25,730
Oh, and you bring it up with anybody.

3263
01:55:25,870 --> 01:55:26,990
They fall in love.

3264
01:55:27,050 --> 01:55:27,790
Oh, my God.

3265
01:55:27,790 --> 01:55:29,510
I wish I could do the same thing.

3266
01:55:29,530 --> 01:55:30,710
I wish I wish I wish.

3267
01:55:30,710 --> 01:55:32,690
I am in the majority.

3268
01:55:32,710 --> 01:55:34,070
I just happen to be the only one

3269
01:55:34,070 --> 01:55:34,830
to follow through.

3270
01:55:35,050 --> 01:55:36,450
Oh, OK, OK.

3271
01:55:36,830 --> 01:55:38,850
You are the only drug addicts who got

3272
01:55:38,850 --> 01:55:39,230
out.

3273
01:55:39,570 --> 01:55:42,370
Yes, you are a winner winning.

3274
01:55:43,170 --> 01:55:43,490
John C.

3275
01:55:43,530 --> 01:55:46,390
Dvorak is a winner, but that is not

3276
01:55:46,390 --> 01:55:47,490
the majority of people.

3277
01:55:47,590 --> 01:55:50,090
The majority of people are losers and they

3278
01:55:50,090 --> 01:55:52,070
are addicted to their phones and now they

3279
01:55:52,070 --> 01:55:54,050
can put themselves into the movie.

3280
01:55:54,690 --> 01:55:57,510
No, this this is going to fly.

3281
01:55:57,870 --> 01:55:58,490
But we'll see.

3282
01:55:58,610 --> 01:55:59,070
We'll see.

3283
01:55:59,890 --> 01:56:01,850
I'm I'm willing to admit defeat.

3284
01:56:02,110 --> 01:56:03,210
I'll give it one month.

3285
01:56:03,330 --> 01:56:04,370
This is the number one app.

3286
01:56:04,650 --> 01:56:05,870
Everyone's talking about it.

3287
01:56:06,270 --> 01:56:09,330
Every news show, all these news, all these

3288
01:56:09,330 --> 01:56:09,750
all these.

3289
01:56:09,950 --> 01:56:11,190
Well, you know, you can make something the

3290
01:56:11,190 --> 01:56:13,290
number one app, even get these news idiots

3291
01:56:13,290 --> 01:56:16,350
to push it because everybody fall apart.

3292
01:56:16,590 --> 01:56:18,070
Ego man is ego.

3293
01:56:18,190 --> 01:56:19,650
People love themselves.

3294
01:56:19,950 --> 01:56:21,710
That's what the whole selfie thing is about.

3295
01:56:21,750 --> 01:56:25,270
An entire an entire device was created.

3296
01:56:25,310 --> 01:56:26,730
I'm not going to argue against you on

3297
01:56:26,730 --> 01:56:27,530
the selfie thing.

3298
01:56:27,610 --> 01:56:28,670
It is bothersome.

3299
01:56:28,670 --> 01:56:30,930
It's a selfie movie is what they're going

3300
01:56:30,930 --> 01:56:31,670
to love it.

3301
01:56:35,200 --> 01:56:36,400
People will love it.

3302
01:56:36,640 --> 01:56:37,460
They will love it.

3303
01:56:37,660 --> 01:56:39,700
And it's completely free.

3304
01:56:40,260 --> 01:56:43,740
How much this guy is burning cash.

3305
01:56:43,940 --> 01:56:46,400
That's why that's why they need to have

3306
01:56:46,400 --> 01:56:48,320
this be successful and they will make it

3307
01:56:48,320 --> 01:56:48,860
successful.

3308
01:56:48,980 --> 01:56:49,900
Come hook or crook.

3309
01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:51,280
Oh, there's a Jew reference for you.

3310
01:56:51,860 --> 01:56:53,380
They're going to make it successful.

3311
01:56:53,660 --> 01:56:54,000
Altman.

3312
01:56:56,020 --> 01:56:57,360
Taken over, taken over.

3313
01:56:57,360 --> 01:56:58,980
Everybody's going to be going to be psyoping

3314
01:56:58,980 --> 01:57:00,940
everybody with this or to this.

3315
01:57:01,080 --> 01:57:01,200
Right.

3316
01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:02,560
Everybody loves Israel.

3317
01:57:03,940 --> 01:57:05,300
They're going to make it the number one

3318
01:57:05,300 --> 01:57:07,420
app because he needs another couple of trillion

3319
01:57:07,420 --> 01:57:09,700
dollars to finally get to the business stuff

3320
01:57:09,700 --> 01:57:11,460
that's actually going to work, which we know

3321
01:57:11,460 --> 01:57:12,420
it just won't.

3322
01:57:15,060 --> 01:57:18,380
In the meantime, Spotify removed.

3323
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:19,860
Well, you have to give the guy credit

3324
01:57:19,860 --> 01:57:20,380
for keeping.

3325
01:57:21,100 --> 01:57:22,780
He's got the balls in the air.

3326
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:24,000
I give him a lot of credit.

3327
01:57:24,100 --> 01:57:25,400
He's got a bunch of plates.

3328
01:57:25,480 --> 01:57:26,620
He's spinning them around.

3329
01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:27,620
There's another one.

3330
01:57:27,700 --> 01:57:28,300
There's another one.

3331
01:57:28,300 --> 01:57:29,740
That's what you do as an entrepreneur.

3332
01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:31,520
How long does this go on?

3333
01:57:31,620 --> 01:57:32,980
Hey, as long as he can keep putting

3334
01:57:32,980 --> 01:57:34,300
plates up, he can spin them.

3335
01:57:35,580 --> 01:57:38,220
And Spotify now, now they're in trouble.

3336
01:57:38,380 --> 01:57:41,560
Spotify is in trouble because they had to

3337
01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:43,600
keep saying that, but they keep making money.

3338
01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:47,060
Well, well, that's kind of the point.

3339
01:57:48,380 --> 01:57:53,420
They had they deleted 75 million songs from

3340
01:57:53,420 --> 01:57:54,640
their catalog.

3341
01:57:55,820 --> 01:57:57,820
And they and the reason they did that

3342
01:57:57,820 --> 01:58:00,780
is because the majority shareholders of Spotify, even

3343
01:58:00,780 --> 01:58:03,400
in the public markets, are the publishing companies

3344
01:58:03,400 --> 01:58:05,580
and the publishing companies like, hold on a

3345
01:58:05,580 --> 01:58:05,860
second.

3346
01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:07,320
We can't have this.

3347
01:58:07,560 --> 01:58:09,600
We can't have every Tom, Dick and Harry

3348
01:58:09,600 --> 01:58:12,760
making our money off of this, off of

3349
01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:14,280
these AI songs.

3350
01:58:15,740 --> 01:58:17,780
So I think that you're going to see

3351
01:58:17,780 --> 01:58:19,660
some other platforms picking this up.

3352
01:58:19,740 --> 01:58:21,320
I would if I had a music platform,

3353
01:58:21,360 --> 01:58:23,320
I'd be like all AI all the time.

3354
01:58:23,780 --> 01:58:24,500
Bring it over here.

3355
01:58:24,500 --> 01:58:27,200
Make money, make money with your songs.

3356
01:58:27,740 --> 01:58:30,240
So you think that Spotify made a mistake

3357
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:32,720
when they ran these these fake bands and

3358
01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:35,460
they ran them as legit and they were

3359
01:58:35,460 --> 01:58:36,120
found out?

3360
01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:38,240
And then, yeah, the public, the music publishers

3361
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:39,480
making actual music.

3362
01:58:39,620 --> 01:58:41,580
Yeah, the owners, owners got very mad.

3363
01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:43,600
The owners decided, hey, wait a minute.

3364
01:58:43,800 --> 01:58:44,800
Yeah, the true owners.

3365
01:58:45,040 --> 01:58:46,100
Yeah, they got very mad.

3366
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:47,400
Well, you know, easy money.

3367
01:58:47,940 --> 01:58:48,540
So I don't know.

3368
01:58:48,620 --> 01:58:50,660
We'll see what Apple and Amazon does.

3369
01:58:52,760 --> 01:58:55,220
But I mean, people were loving this.

3370
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:56,620
Like, hey, I just made a song.

3371
01:58:56,740 --> 01:58:58,180
It cost me 20 bucks a month to

3372
01:58:58,180 --> 01:58:59,300
make a thousand songs.

3373
01:58:59,460 --> 01:59:02,040
And I'm making five bucks on royalties.

3374
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:05,180
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

3375
01:59:05,340 --> 01:59:08,320
Hey, you know, more trucks.

3376
01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:09,580
I'm monetizing, man.

3377
01:59:09,660 --> 01:59:13,380
I'm monetizing, monetizing my creativity, my prompting creativity.

3378
01:59:14,420 --> 01:59:15,520
Please, more of it.

3379
01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:17,600
Please fill the Internet with as much of

3380
01:59:17,600 --> 01:59:18,780
this slop as possible.

3381
01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:19,600
Keep it going.

3382
01:59:20,020 --> 01:59:23,220
Just keep it going until nothing is usable.

3383
01:59:23,860 --> 01:59:25,920
I mean, already, if you just...

3384
01:59:25,920 --> 01:59:26,820
I was looking for...

3385
01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:30,780
I was looking for a story on Nepal

3386
01:59:30,780 --> 01:59:34,600
with a Gen Z thing that included Discord.

3387
01:59:35,300 --> 01:59:37,180
Well, you have to wade through at least

3388
01:59:37,180 --> 01:59:41,540
15 AI-generated news stories to find something.

3389
01:59:42,040 --> 01:59:44,600
And even then, it's like still dubious.

3390
01:59:45,580 --> 01:59:47,580
It's filling everything up.

3391
01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:53,160
And still, the podcast, it's industrial complex.

3392
01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:54,600
We need a tag.

3393
01:59:54,900 --> 01:59:56,280
We need to tag this AI.

3394
01:59:56,560 --> 01:59:59,060
We can't have AI, AI podcast.

3395
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:01,360
Please.

3396
02:00:02,160 --> 02:00:02,460
Why?

3397
02:00:03,500 --> 02:00:06,000
Yeah, because the advertisers are getting fleeced.

3398
02:00:06,120 --> 02:00:07,600
That's why the advertisers are getting mad.

3399
02:00:07,820 --> 02:00:09,760
Advertisers got to get a clue.

3400
02:00:11,040 --> 02:00:11,800
They will.

3401
02:00:12,480 --> 02:00:13,100
They will.

3402
02:00:13,260 --> 02:00:13,840
They always do.

3403
02:00:13,940 --> 02:00:15,820
And then they get, they drop off.

3404
02:00:15,900 --> 02:00:17,600
And of course, it does a shake out.

3405
02:00:17,600 --> 02:00:21,000
You know, Armageddon, the podcast, they all go

3406
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:21,580
out of business.

3407
02:00:21,800 --> 02:00:23,620
The ones that try to make money.

3408
02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:27,120
And then all of a sudden, something changes

3409
02:00:27,120 --> 02:00:29,260
and the advertisers are suckered back.

3410
02:00:29,780 --> 02:00:31,240
They always get suckered back.

3411
02:00:31,680 --> 02:00:32,000
They will.

3412
02:00:32,620 --> 02:00:33,520
Look at these numbers.

3413
02:00:36,360 --> 02:00:38,300
Hey, Bob, have you seen these numbers?

3414
02:00:40,220 --> 02:00:42,360
I think we got an opportunity here.

3415
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:44,220
And with that, I want to thank you

3416
02:00:44,220 --> 02:00:45,640
for your courage saying in the morning to

3417
02:00:45,640 --> 02:00:46,900
you, the man who put the C in

3418
02:00:46,900 --> 02:00:48,560
the one and only AI continent.

3419
02:00:48,800 --> 02:00:50,120
Say hello, my friend on the other end.

3420
02:00:50,200 --> 02:00:52,760
The one, the only Mr. John C.

3421
02:00:52,940 --> 02:00:53,300
DeVore.

3422
02:01:02,460 --> 02:01:04,400
In the morning to the trolls in the

3423
02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:05,120
troll room.

3424
02:01:05,380 --> 02:01:06,180
Stand still.

3425
02:01:06,240 --> 02:01:07,400
Let me catch you for a second.

3426
02:01:07,500 --> 02:01:07,880
There we go.

3427
02:01:11,140 --> 02:01:12,280
Dog days of summer.

3428
02:01:13,860 --> 02:01:15,020
2158 listening live.

3429
02:01:16,220 --> 02:01:19,660
And they are listening on no agenda stream

3430
02:01:19,660 --> 02:01:21,280
dot com, which should be fixed.

3431
02:01:21,400 --> 02:01:22,000
Tell your friends.

3432
02:01:22,160 --> 02:01:22,660
Tell your neighbors.

3433
02:01:22,800 --> 02:01:23,620
Everything works again.

3434
02:01:23,700 --> 02:01:26,080
They are trolling along in the troll room.

3435
02:01:26,260 --> 02:01:27,260
Troll room that I own.

3436
02:01:27,400 --> 02:01:28,920
Also, no agenda stream dot com.

3437
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:31,360
You can use your modern podcast app, which

3438
02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:33,640
may or may not have some AI slop

3439
02:01:33,640 --> 02:01:34,000
in it.

3440
02:01:34,220 --> 02:01:37,720
But of course, the biggest downside to podcasting

3441
02:01:37,720 --> 02:01:39,300
is there's no discovery mechanism.

3442
02:01:39,520 --> 02:01:41,380
So it's also its biggest protection.

3443
02:01:41,940 --> 02:01:45,300
So there's no algo that's shoving podcasts in

3444
02:01:45,300 --> 02:01:46,860
your face all the time on the podcast

3445
02:01:46,860 --> 02:01:48,280
apps yet.

3446
02:01:49,300 --> 02:01:51,180
No, it's decentralized.

3447
02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:53,720
It's impossible to happen.

3448
02:01:53,920 --> 02:01:54,560
It's impossible.

3449
02:01:54,740 --> 02:01:56,600
It will not happen, which is good.

3450
02:01:57,020 --> 02:01:59,380
And the more slop, the more people will

3451
02:01:59,380 --> 02:02:01,760
want to hear two old dudes yacking away.

3452
02:02:02,440 --> 02:02:04,320
Oh, it feels so comfortable, doesn't it?

3453
02:02:04,320 --> 02:02:05,880
Just to hear people make mistakes.

3454
02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:07,980
Yeah, it does feel kind of good.

3455
02:02:08,260 --> 02:02:09,320
Oh, they disagree.

3456
02:02:09,500 --> 02:02:09,940
Oh, no.

3457
02:02:09,940 --> 02:02:13,120
They actually sound emotional about something.

3458
02:02:13,300 --> 02:02:14,200
Oh, oh, my.

3459
02:02:14,880 --> 02:02:16,700
Man, you and your noise makers.

3460
02:02:17,300 --> 02:02:18,300
Oh, good lord.

3461
02:02:18,500 --> 02:02:19,780
You and your noise makers.

3462
02:02:20,020 --> 02:02:21,140
I got another one here.

3463
02:02:23,580 --> 02:02:25,320
I've got the sign noise maker.

3464
02:02:26,240 --> 02:02:27,500
Modern podcast apps.

3465
02:02:27,580 --> 02:02:29,080
Go get yourself one of those.

3466
02:02:29,240 --> 02:02:31,200
It's your protection against AI slop.

3467
02:02:31,320 --> 02:02:33,000
Go to podcastapps.com.

3468
02:02:33,080 --> 02:02:33,600
Pick one up.

3469
02:02:33,660 --> 02:02:35,500
They're all pretty darn good, I would say.

3470
02:02:35,660 --> 02:02:37,260
And with that, of course, you will also

3471
02:02:37,260 --> 02:02:38,740
be alerted when we go live.

3472
02:02:38,740 --> 02:02:40,520
You can listen live in your podcast app.

3473
02:02:40,580 --> 02:02:41,640
What legacy app does that?

3474
02:02:41,720 --> 02:02:42,080
Let me think.

3475
02:02:42,180 --> 02:02:42,840
None of them.

3476
02:02:43,840 --> 02:02:46,100
And within 90 seconds of publishing, you will

3477
02:02:46,100 --> 02:02:47,000
be notified as well.

3478
02:02:47,100 --> 02:02:48,340
Which legacy app does that?

3479
02:02:48,420 --> 02:02:48,740
Let me think.

3480
02:02:48,960 --> 02:02:50,500
None of them, of course.

3481
02:02:50,560 --> 02:02:52,260
That's why you want to be ahead of

3482
02:02:52,260 --> 02:02:54,160
the times and on top of the news.

3483
02:02:55,100 --> 02:02:59,080
Wasn't that, uh, was that, uh, New York

3484
02:02:59,080 --> 02:02:59,400
Daily?

3485
02:02:59,580 --> 02:03:00,420
Was it the Daily Post?

3486
02:03:00,440 --> 02:03:01,320
No, I don't think so.

3487
02:03:01,400 --> 02:03:03,340
Ahead of the times and on top of

3488
02:03:03,340 --> 02:03:03,660
the news.

3489
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:04,640
I didn't.

3490
02:03:05,140 --> 02:03:07,020
I lived in New York for a while.

3491
02:03:07,060 --> 02:03:08,060
I remember these things.

3492
02:03:09,120 --> 02:03:12,640
The extra E, yes.

3493
02:03:14,380 --> 02:03:16,520
Drop the extra S for savings.

3494
02:03:16,860 --> 02:03:17,540
Dial a mattress.

3495
02:03:19,280 --> 02:03:20,180
I remember that.

3496
02:03:20,580 --> 02:03:22,440
Crazy Eddie's prices are insane.

3497
02:03:24,120 --> 02:03:27,340
So, um, the 26th of October will be

3498
02:03:27,340 --> 02:03:29,080
18 years that we do in this podcast.

3499
02:03:29,420 --> 02:03:31,140
And all the, all that time, John has

3500
02:03:31,140 --> 02:03:32,760
been studying my Tourette's and he is now

3501
02:03:32,760 --> 02:03:34,040
an expert, which is amazing.

3502
02:03:34,040 --> 02:03:34,780
I am.

3503
02:03:34,900 --> 02:03:36,980
Because we've only seen each other twice in

3504
02:03:36,980 --> 02:03:37,780
the last 10 years.

3505
02:03:37,780 --> 02:03:39,620
Once is enough.

3506
02:03:42,980 --> 02:03:43,460
Ditto.

3507
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:45,260
Right back at you, Bubba.

3508
02:03:46,060 --> 02:03:48,460
So we accept time, talent, or treasure in

3509
02:03:48,460 --> 02:03:50,920
return for the value that we provide you.

3510
02:03:50,980 --> 02:03:53,140
And we think that after 18 years, people

3511
02:03:53,140 --> 02:03:53,500
agree.

3512
02:03:54,320 --> 02:03:56,380
Four out of five doctors will say that

3513
02:03:56,380 --> 02:03:58,220
the Noah Jenner Show provides value.

3514
02:03:58,640 --> 02:04:00,160
And you can provide that back to us

3515
02:04:00,160 --> 02:04:01,260
in many different ways.

3516
02:04:01,740 --> 02:04:03,700
Monetary is the one that makes the show

3517
02:04:03,700 --> 02:04:04,840
guaranteed to continue.

3518
02:04:04,840 --> 02:04:07,180
But we also accept other things such as

3519
02:04:07,180 --> 02:04:07,880
AI slop.

3520
02:04:08,180 --> 02:04:10,440
And we get that from our Noah Jenner

3521
02:04:10,440 --> 02:04:12,260
artists who are now prompt jockeys.

3522
02:04:12,380 --> 02:04:15,320
And one day, one day, the actual artists

3523
02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:15,880
will return.

3524
02:04:16,080 --> 02:04:17,220
You can wait for it.

3525
02:04:17,380 --> 02:04:20,540
When everyone's listening to AI slop songs, eventually,

3526
02:04:20,820 --> 02:04:23,500
you know, a Ramones comes along or.

3527
02:04:24,900 --> 02:04:26,640
I think they said the same thing about

3528
02:04:26,640 --> 02:04:27,180
Photoshop.

3529
02:04:28,660 --> 02:04:30,980
Well, clip art, Photoshop, everything.

3530
02:04:31,300 --> 02:04:32,720
And it was, it was all a problem.

3531
02:04:32,720 --> 02:04:35,180
Technology is always a problem.

3532
02:04:35,660 --> 02:04:37,420
We don't want to be Luddites, but there

3533
02:04:37,420 --> 02:04:38,020
you go.

3534
02:04:38,400 --> 02:04:40,180
Hey, we had a new artist check in.

3535
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:41,740
He'd only been a Noah Jenner artist for

3536
02:04:41,740 --> 02:04:42,300
two weeks.

3537
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:45,520
And we liked his AI sloppiness.

3538
02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:48,720
His name is Jock10, J-O-Q-10.

3539
02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:52,880
He did the artwork for episode 1804, which

3540
02:04:52,880 --> 02:04:54,500
we titled Mucho Retardo.

3541
02:04:57,080 --> 02:04:58,120
We liked that.

3542
02:04:58,220 --> 02:05:00,260
And it was a fat general in the

3543
02:05:00,260 --> 02:05:00,620
submarine.

3544
02:05:00,820 --> 02:05:02,200
He couldn't get in or he couldn't get

3545
02:05:02,200 --> 02:05:02,440
out.

3546
02:05:02,440 --> 02:05:04,040
And people liked it.

3547
02:05:04,060 --> 02:05:05,000
And we liked it too.

3548
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:05,100
It was an admiral.

3549
02:05:05,420 --> 02:05:05,800
Oh, is it?

3550
02:05:05,860 --> 02:05:06,860
How do you know it's an admiral?

3551
02:05:07,440 --> 02:05:08,280
Because it's a submarine.

3552
02:05:08,820 --> 02:05:09,640
Oh, thank you.

3553
02:05:09,740 --> 02:05:10,360
Good point.

3554
02:05:11,940 --> 02:05:13,680
Thank God, you know about these things.

3555
02:05:14,380 --> 02:05:15,180
Fat admiral.

3556
02:05:15,900 --> 02:05:17,120
F-A, fat admiral.

3557
02:05:19,020 --> 02:05:21,660
And of course, these were as uploaded to

3558
02:05:21,660 --> 02:05:23,380
noagendaartgenerator.com.

3559
02:05:23,420 --> 02:05:25,020
If you're having trouble uploading a piece of

3560
02:05:25,020 --> 02:05:28,100
art, you need to have the exact dimensions

3561
02:05:28,100 --> 02:05:28,860
as specified.

3562
02:05:28,860 --> 02:05:32,160
That's just a little tip for those of

3563
02:05:32,160 --> 02:05:32,840
you having trouble.

3564
02:05:32,960 --> 02:05:35,200
It needs to be the exact dimensions in

3565
02:05:35,200 --> 02:05:36,000
order to upload.

3566
02:05:36,880 --> 02:05:37,860
And let me see.

3567
02:05:37,980 --> 02:05:40,200
We looked at everything, of course.

3568
02:05:40,300 --> 02:05:42,960
There was a lot of hobbies.

3569
02:05:43,120 --> 02:05:44,820
Well, there was the battle ready from Blue

3570
02:05:44,820 --> 02:05:45,320
Acorn.

3571
02:05:45,400 --> 02:05:47,180
That was a fat soldier eating a donut.

3572
02:05:48,240 --> 02:05:50,340
I'd say that was probably a close second.

3573
02:05:51,740 --> 02:05:55,140
We had lots of stares running up and

3574
02:05:55,140 --> 02:05:55,340
down.

3575
02:05:55,440 --> 02:05:57,880
You like the John Adams bug out kit

3576
02:05:57,880 --> 02:05:58,680
for some reason.

3577
02:05:59,400 --> 02:06:01,200
Yeah, it was too small.

3578
02:06:01,320 --> 02:06:02,980
It was too small, but it included a

3579
02:06:02,980 --> 02:06:07,040
handgun, a revolver, a flashlight, a cracker.

3580
02:06:07,900 --> 02:06:09,520
I like the one cracker.

3581
02:06:09,980 --> 02:06:12,780
Like a graham cracker kit and some water.

3582
02:06:13,540 --> 02:06:15,500
Let me see what else was there.

3583
02:06:15,520 --> 02:06:16,680
A lot of sombreros.

3584
02:06:16,800 --> 02:06:19,720
A lot of sombreros, which didn't really work.

3585
02:06:20,300 --> 02:06:24,620
Again, we see people using collapsing models.

3586
02:06:24,840 --> 02:06:27,780
The mastermind, your models collapsing that you're using.

3587
02:06:28,340 --> 02:06:29,460
Yes, you have to.

3588
02:06:29,580 --> 02:06:30,880
Yes, that's right.

3589
02:06:30,940 --> 02:06:32,980
We made a point to mention him.

3590
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:37,120
The mastermind has needs to take his pieces

3591
02:06:37,120 --> 02:06:39,420
and either put them in Photoshop or someplace

3592
02:06:39,420 --> 02:06:41,700
to to brighten them up.

3593
02:06:41,860 --> 02:06:43,860
Get rid of the you have a they're

3594
02:06:43,860 --> 02:06:44,440
dull.

3595
02:06:46,140 --> 02:06:47,560
Yeah, they're very dull.

3596
02:06:48,360 --> 02:06:49,460
And it's not a big deal.

3597
02:06:49,500 --> 02:06:51,540
You can put them in a Photoshop and

3598
02:06:51,540 --> 02:06:52,600
there's a couple of filters.

3599
02:06:52,600 --> 02:06:54,120
You can just pop, make them pop.

3600
02:06:54,120 --> 02:06:57,020
But it's just interesting to see that there's

3601
02:06:57,020 --> 02:06:58,820
model collapse, whatever you're using.

3602
02:06:59,280 --> 02:07:01,260
There's been one or two models that I

3603
02:07:01,260 --> 02:07:03,060
don't know what he's using, but it's getting

3604
02:07:03,060 --> 02:07:03,440
worse.

3605
02:07:03,680 --> 02:07:04,020
It's muddy.

3606
02:07:04,200 --> 02:07:05,720
This is the worst I've ever seen it.

3607
02:07:06,580 --> 02:07:07,560
It's getting worse.

3608
02:07:07,720 --> 02:07:09,060
And the more this is out there, that

3609
02:07:09,060 --> 02:07:09,800
getting worse.

3610
02:07:09,900 --> 02:07:10,600
It's just bad.

3611
02:07:10,740 --> 02:07:13,220
No, you are so optimistic about your.

3612
02:07:13,560 --> 02:07:13,740
I am.

3613
02:07:13,960 --> 02:07:17,260
Why don't you go live with Sam Albin?

3614
02:07:17,400 --> 02:07:19,060
I'm sure he'd love to have you.

3615
02:07:19,260 --> 02:07:20,260
Why don't you just go hang out?

3616
02:07:20,620 --> 02:07:22,500
Get a room with Sam Altman.

3617
02:07:23,060 --> 02:07:23,800
No agenda.

3618
02:07:23,960 --> 02:07:25,460
Our generator dot com is where you can

3619
02:07:25,460 --> 02:07:26,360
upload your slop.

3620
02:07:26,860 --> 02:07:30,240
And we do appreciate people doing it all,

3621
02:07:30,300 --> 02:07:30,960
to be honest.

3622
02:07:33,600 --> 02:07:35,360
I'm already looking at today's art.

3623
02:07:35,440 --> 02:07:37,280
There's plenty of opportunity to win people.

3624
02:07:37,740 --> 02:07:38,560
Plenty of opportunity.

3625
02:07:38,660 --> 02:07:41,700
Just typing in drone EU flag.

3626
02:07:41,780 --> 02:07:43,740
No agenda is not going to get you

3627
02:07:43,740 --> 02:07:44,960
a winning nod.

3628
02:07:45,080 --> 02:07:46,060
That's not going to happen.

3629
02:07:47,040 --> 02:07:49,180
As part of this value for value model,

3630
02:07:49,180 --> 02:07:50,760
we, of course, want to thank our financial

3631
02:07:50,760 --> 02:07:54,480
supporters who all they do is this.

3632
02:07:54,760 --> 02:07:56,480
You see, man, hands by blue.

3633
02:07:57,120 --> 02:07:58,280
Hold on a second.

3634
02:07:58,920 --> 02:08:01,700
No, hold on a second.

3635
02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:02,680
Let me see.

3636
02:08:03,020 --> 02:08:03,860
Man hands.

3637
02:08:03,980 --> 02:08:05,800
You're jumping ahead of the game.

3638
02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:07,100
Where's man hands?

3639
02:08:08,080 --> 02:08:09,560
Oh, man.

3640
02:08:10,820 --> 02:08:12,200
That is gross.

3641
02:08:12,620 --> 02:08:13,600
That's gross.

3642
02:08:14,140 --> 02:08:18,260
That's here's how value for value works.

3643
02:08:18,300 --> 02:08:20,500
There's no levels, no subscriptions.

3644
02:08:20,500 --> 02:08:22,300
Of course, no tote bag.

3645
02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:23,840
You know, all you do is you listen

3646
02:08:23,840 --> 02:08:25,680
to the show is, OK, I like this

3647
02:08:25,680 --> 02:08:26,020
episode.

3648
02:08:26,060 --> 02:08:27,180
I got something out of it.

3649
02:08:27,420 --> 02:08:29,260
Let me send these guys some some coin

3650
02:08:29,260 --> 02:08:32,140
and whatever that value represents to you.

3651
02:08:32,240 --> 02:08:33,400
You put it into a number of people

3652
02:08:33,400 --> 02:08:34,880
like numerology in general.

3653
02:08:34,880 --> 02:08:36,640
So send this a number that is meaningful

3654
02:08:36,640 --> 02:08:37,300
to you.

3655
02:08:38,080 --> 02:08:39,460
And you can do it any time at

3656
02:08:39,460 --> 02:08:41,220
any moment you feel it's appropriate.

3657
02:08:41,420 --> 02:08:43,020
No agenda donations dot com.

3658
02:08:43,100 --> 02:08:45,740
And we will now thank a very few

3659
02:08:45,740 --> 02:08:46,980
amount of supporters.

3660
02:08:46,980 --> 02:08:49,600
I'm sure that, you know, our lack of

3661
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:52,100
audience capture is going to hurt us severely.

3662
02:08:52,180 --> 02:08:53,740
John's no doubt about it.

3663
02:08:53,900 --> 02:08:54,820
It happens.

3664
02:08:55,140 --> 02:08:55,700
It happens.

3665
02:08:55,860 --> 02:08:58,000
Yeah, it's happened throughout throughout the eight.

3666
02:08:58,040 --> 02:09:00,300
But at least we're honest purveyors of the

3667
02:09:00,300 --> 02:09:00,700
truth.

3668
02:09:01,020 --> 02:09:02,220
Yeah, exactly.

3669
02:09:04,260 --> 02:09:05,140
That's exactly right.

3670
02:09:05,140 --> 02:09:06,760
And we don't have to do stupid stuff

3671
02:09:06,760 --> 02:09:09,820
like saying, oh, I'm not unhappy.

3672
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:11,180
Are you unhappy, John?

3673
02:09:11,520 --> 02:09:13,460
We don't have a suicide pact.

3674
02:09:13,600 --> 02:09:14,760
I'm not going to kill myself.

3675
02:09:14,760 --> 02:09:15,220
Are you?

3676
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:20,800
Hey, top executive producer today.

3677
02:09:20,900 --> 02:09:21,540
Here's how it works.

3678
02:09:21,600 --> 02:09:22,520
We thank everybody.

3679
02:09:23,120 --> 02:09:24,180
Fifty dollars and above.

3680
02:09:24,360 --> 02:09:26,000
And in this particular segment of the show,

3681
02:09:26,020 --> 02:09:27,260
we thank the people who came in with

3682
02:09:27,260 --> 02:09:29,720
two hundred dollars or above who are fortunate

3683
02:09:29,720 --> 02:09:30,720
enough to be able to do that.

3684
02:09:30,780 --> 02:09:31,900
And we highly appreciate it.

3685
02:09:31,920 --> 02:09:33,400
So we have something extra for them.

3686
02:09:33,440 --> 02:09:35,680
It's called the title a credit, which is

3687
02:09:35,680 --> 02:09:37,700
an official credit that Hollywood recognizes.

3688
02:09:37,840 --> 02:09:39,680
You can go to IMDB dot com and

3689
02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:41,940
see all of the no agenda executive and

3690
02:09:41,940 --> 02:09:44,020
associate executive producers are two hundred dollars and

3691
02:09:44,020 --> 02:09:44,240
above.

3692
02:09:44,240 --> 02:09:47,060
Gives you a credit of associate executive producer.

3693
02:09:47,180 --> 02:09:49,260
And we will read your note within reason.

3694
02:09:49,960 --> 02:09:52,200
And three hundred dollars or above, you become

3695
02:09:52,200 --> 02:09:53,020
an executive producer.

3696
02:09:53,120 --> 02:09:54,720
And again, we will read your note within

3697
02:09:54,720 --> 02:09:55,100
reason.

3698
02:09:55,340 --> 02:09:57,520
And for the time being, five hundred dollars

3699
02:09:57,520 --> 02:09:59,780
gets you a secretary generalship.

3700
02:09:59,920 --> 02:10:02,520
And Matthew Lomar from Elwood, Illinois, comes in

3701
02:10:02,520 --> 02:10:03,440
with exactly that.

3702
02:10:03,640 --> 02:10:05,640
So he will be a secretary general.

3703
02:10:05,640 --> 02:10:07,640
And he says, hey, this is Matt Lomar,

3704
02:10:07,720 --> 02:10:09,360
the guy who will kick the noodle kid's

3705
02:10:09,360 --> 02:10:09,800
ass.

3706
02:10:10,780 --> 02:10:13,000
Figured I'd get my secretary general certificate and

3707
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:15,140
claim the title as secretary general of water

3708
02:10:15,140 --> 02:10:16,120
well drillers.

3709
02:10:16,520 --> 02:10:17,180
It's a good one.

3710
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:19,880
As such, can I humbly request karma for

3711
02:10:19,880 --> 02:10:21,500
my small water well business?

3712
02:10:22,300 --> 02:10:23,260
Haas services.

3713
02:10:24,020 --> 02:10:26,380
Any no agenda producers welcome to contact me

3714
02:10:26,380 --> 02:10:27,540
with well questions.

3715
02:10:28,640 --> 02:10:30,600
Actually, I have I have some well questions

3716
02:10:30,600 --> 02:10:31,000
for you.

3717
02:10:31,060 --> 02:10:32,840
Oh, you have a well, a question.

3718
02:10:32,940 --> 02:10:34,100
I do have a well question.

3719
02:10:34,280 --> 02:10:37,220
I would like this is our well guy.

3720
02:10:37,340 --> 02:10:38,160
This is the well guy.

3721
02:10:38,160 --> 02:10:40,420
I would like a little more water pressure.

3722
02:10:40,580 --> 02:10:41,560
We have our own well.

3723
02:10:42,140 --> 02:10:44,060
I know how it works and I know

3724
02:10:44,060 --> 02:10:45,100
where the thing is buried.

3725
02:10:45,260 --> 02:10:46,420
You know that the canister.

3726
02:10:46,580 --> 02:10:48,520
Is there anything I can do to up

3727
02:10:48,520 --> 02:10:49,320
the water pressure?

3728
02:10:49,440 --> 02:10:50,640
Do I have to have that thing dug

3729
02:10:50,640 --> 02:10:51,420
up in a new one?

3730
02:10:51,460 --> 02:10:53,220
Put it to be put a pump in.

3731
02:10:53,320 --> 02:10:55,680
You pump it up to a tower outside

3732
02:10:55,680 --> 02:10:56,220
your house.

3733
02:10:56,320 --> 02:10:57,000
You build a tower.

3734
02:10:57,460 --> 02:10:58,140
But we have an eight.

3735
02:10:58,200 --> 02:10:59,820
I should get it in before the HOA

3736
02:10:59,820 --> 02:11:00,560
kicks off.

3737
02:11:00,980 --> 02:11:01,340
Yeah.

3738
02:11:01,520 --> 02:11:02,760
Get that tower up.

3739
02:11:02,980 --> 02:11:04,560
Put some ham antennas in there.

3740
02:11:04,560 --> 02:11:07,000
Curry farm on the tower.

3741
02:11:07,140 --> 02:11:08,380
Put some lettering on there.

3742
02:11:08,540 --> 02:11:10,800
And one of those windmills with a vein

3743
02:11:10,800 --> 02:11:12,660
with one of those metallic windmills.

3744
02:11:12,920 --> 02:11:13,140
Pumping.

3745
02:11:13,320 --> 02:11:14,240
Yeah, it'll do the pumping.

3746
02:11:14,400 --> 02:11:14,780
That's right.

3747
02:11:14,980 --> 02:11:15,700
Yeah, that's a good idea.

3748
02:11:15,820 --> 02:11:17,000
A little wind will pump it all up

3749
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:17,640
to the tower.

3750
02:11:17,780 --> 02:11:19,480
And then the tower will provide the pressure.

3751
02:11:19,700 --> 02:11:21,760
And on the tower, it's put petticoat junction.

3752
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:22,720
That'll be even funny.

3753
02:11:22,940 --> 02:11:25,080
Yeah, well, well, yeah, you could do that,

3754
02:11:25,220 --> 02:11:25,320
too.

3756
02:11:26,660 --> 02:11:29,560

Currently doing some research on the new fuel

3762
02:11:41,300 --> 02:11:43,400
pumps out in the wild that play ads

3763
02:11:43,400 --> 02:11:45,540
all the time while buying gas or diesel.

3764
02:11:45,760 --> 02:11:46,560
Interested in that.

3765
02:11:46,660 --> 02:11:48,900
We need to report the fuel distributor.

3766
02:11:49,020 --> 02:11:49,820
I got you.

3767
02:11:50,060 --> 02:11:51,660
I use got new pumps.

3768
02:11:51,760 --> 02:11:53,100
And for a while, the ads were all

3769
02:11:53,100 --> 02:11:54,120
flu shot ads.

3770
02:11:54,240 --> 02:11:56,180
Well, it's called remnant inventory.

3771
02:11:56,720 --> 02:11:58,540
More will follow when it becomes available.

3772
02:11:59,180 --> 02:12:00,580
Do have a tip of the day if

3773
02:12:00,580 --> 02:12:00,780
needed.

And here is your karma, sir, as requested.

3781
02:12:13,760 --> 02:12:15,520
You've got karma.

3782
02:12:17,040 --> 02:12:19,240
This is like Haas Cartwright.

3783
02:12:19,240 --> 02:12:20,020
Yeah, Haas.

Three, three, three, three, three.

02:12:26,320 --> 02:12:27,000
They're alive.

3787
02:12:27,260 --> 02:12:28,180
They still alive.

3788
02:12:28,300 --> 02:12:28,520
Good.

3789
02:12:28,740 --> 02:12:29,920
We're glad to hear from you.

3790
02:12:29,920 --> 02:12:31,040
Don't say anything too bad.

3791
02:12:31,080 --> 02:12:32,460
This storm will arrest you.

3792
02:12:32,980 --> 02:12:33,720
Hey, both.

3793
02:12:34,920 --> 02:12:38,020
Some well-deserved and overdue karma donation paying

3794
02:12:38,020 --> 02:12:38,840

3795
02:12:39,040 --> 02:12:41,200
Love you loads, sir.

3796
02:12:41,580 --> 02:12:43,760
Gee, that's spelled G H E E.

3797
02:12:43,760 --> 02:12:45,140
You've got karma.

02:12:49,180 --> 02:12:50,640
Three thirty three dot thirty three.

3800
02:12:50,960 --> 02:12:51,720
Love that number.

3801
02:12:51,820 --> 02:12:54,200
Last time I donated, he says Adam was

3802
02:12:54,200 --> 02:12:56,460
helping me troubleshoot album art on my Windows

3803
02:12:56,460 --> 02:12:56,820
phone.

3804
02:12:56,940 --> 02:12:57,660
Holy crap.

3805
02:12:57,900 --> 02:12:59,240
So it's been a while.

3806
02:12:59,800 --> 02:13:01,440
Yeah, man.

3807
02:13:01,580 --> 02:13:03,440
When did the Windows phone get discontinued?

3808
02:13:03,520 --> 02:13:04,340
Ten years ago.

3809
02:13:05,640 --> 02:13:06,940
It's been a long time.

3810
02:13:07,080 --> 02:13:08,040
What was the name of that phone?

3811
02:13:08,120 --> 02:13:08,520
Windows.

3812
02:13:08,900 --> 02:13:11,040
Well, 2007 is when it was pretty much

3813
02:13:11,040 --> 02:13:11,800
wiped out.

3814
02:13:12,020 --> 02:13:13,820
What was it called a while back?

3815
02:13:13,900 --> 02:13:14,740
What was it called again?

3816
02:13:14,800 --> 02:13:15,460
The Windows.

3817
02:13:16,980 --> 02:13:18,400
Was it just Windows phone?

3818
02:13:18,940 --> 02:13:19,900
Doesn't sound right.

3819
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:20,980
Yeah, Windows phone.

3820
02:13:21,060 --> 02:13:21,760
It was called something.

3821
02:13:23,360 --> 02:13:24,420
It's been a while.

3822
02:13:24,560 --> 02:13:26,540
Long past due for another donation.

3823
02:13:26,680 --> 02:13:27,560
Thank you for your courage.

3824
02:13:27,640 --> 02:13:28,500
Well, thank you.

3825
02:13:28,500 --> 02:13:29,640
Appreciate it much.

3826
02:13:30,220 --> 02:13:33,660
And there we have Jackie Green, our guitarist.

3827
02:13:34,380 --> 02:13:38,100

Three thirty three thirty three.

3835
02:13:50,760 --> 02:13:52,700
Even though I've been donating thirty three dollars

3836
02:13:52,700 --> 02:13:54,980
and thirty three cents since Adam's first Rogan

3837
02:13:54,980 --> 02:13:57,720
appearance, the sad puppy got to me.

3838
02:13:57,720 --> 02:14:00,320
I'm well past knighthood, so please deduce me.

3839
02:14:02,140 --> 02:14:03,820
You've been deduced.

3840
02:14:04,260 --> 02:14:06,520
And I'd like to be knighted, Sir John

3841
02:14:06,520 --> 02:14:08,040
of the Techni Basin.

3842
02:14:08,460 --> 02:14:10,000
I'd like a ribeye and Malbec at the

3843
02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:10,460
roundtable.

3844
02:14:10,560 --> 02:14:11,360
It has been ordered.

3845
02:14:11,560 --> 02:14:13,360
Thanks, Adam, for coming up with a possible

3846
02:14:13,360 --> 02:14:16,920
identity for the they in all my conspiracy

3847
02:14:16,920 --> 02:14:17,460
theories.

02:14:17,620 --> 02:14:19,440
Yes, the North Sea Nexus.

3849
02:14:20,560 --> 02:14:21,360
Thank you, John.

3850
02:14:21,500 --> 02:14:22,220
See at the roundtable.

3851
02:14:22,220 --> 02:14:26,320
Janet Giles or Giles or Giles, G.I

3852
02:14:26,320 --> 02:14:28,440
.L.L.E.S. It's San Marcos, Texas,

3853
02:14:28,640 --> 02:14:30,120
which is just where you are.

3854
02:14:30,760 --> 02:14:31,640
Three thirty three.

3855
02:14:31,760 --> 02:14:33,500
She's got no note that I can find.

3856
02:14:33,700 --> 02:14:34,740
And so we have to give her a

3857
02:14:34,740 --> 02:14:35,120
double up.

3858
02:14:35,240 --> 02:14:36,420
Karma on the way.

3859
02:14:36,600 --> 02:14:37,340
You've got.

3860
02:14:39,500 --> 02:14:39,900
Karma.

3861
02:14:40,400 --> 02:14:42,440
And there's three hundred dollars coming to us

3862
02:14:42,440 --> 02:14:44,220
from the Indy Noah gender raffle.

3863
02:14:44,380 --> 02:14:45,540
We do have a meet up report.

3864
02:14:45,560 --> 02:14:46,740
That's Greenwood, Indiana.

3865
02:14:46,740 --> 02:14:48,100
And it's a switcheroo.

3866
02:14:48,180 --> 02:14:49,620
First Sir David Killian.

3867
02:14:50,140 --> 02:14:52,040
So let me do that right away.

3868
02:14:52,220 --> 02:14:54,020
Make sure we get that because he won

3869
02:14:54,020 --> 02:14:54,420
the raffle.

3870
02:14:54,560 --> 02:14:55,460
This is instant night.

3871
02:14:55,660 --> 02:14:57,820
Sir David Killian actually sent a note at

3872
02:14:57,820 --> 02:14:59,380
the end of this email back in twenty

3873
02:14:59,380 --> 02:15:00,940
seventeen, but it was never read on the

3874
02:15:00,940 --> 02:15:01,160
show.

3875
02:15:01,640 --> 02:15:03,400
I sent in one thousand dollars back in

3876
02:15:03,400 --> 02:15:03,980
episode four.

3877
02:15:04,040 --> 02:15:04,600
Ninety eight.

3878
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:06,580
Obey the giant voice system.

3879
02:15:06,720 --> 02:15:06,920
Wow.

3880
02:15:07,600 --> 02:15:08,680
That's a long time ago.

3881
02:15:08,940 --> 02:15:10,700
I looked it up on no agenda that

3882
02:15:10,700 --> 02:15:11,900
clip genie dot com.

3883
02:15:12,320 --> 02:15:14,280
John might remember that I was always that

3884
02:15:14,280 --> 02:15:16,620
I always sent in bill paychecks with no

3885
02:15:16,620 --> 02:15:18,340
note, but something in the memo.

3886
02:15:18,440 --> 02:15:19,120
Do you remember this?

3887
02:15:20,900 --> 02:15:21,380
Let's see.

3888
02:15:21,380 --> 02:15:23,380
That was 15 years ago.

3889
02:15:23,480 --> 02:15:23,660
No.

3890
02:15:24,560 --> 02:15:26,040
After that, I would send in three three

3891
02:15:26,040 --> 02:15:28,240
three dot thirty three every quarter for several

3892
02:15:28,240 --> 02:15:28,520
years.

3893
02:15:28,620 --> 02:15:30,500
So I'm at least four times night or

3894
02:15:30,500 --> 02:15:32,800
a baron if the peerage committee agrees.

3895
02:15:33,440 --> 02:15:34,700
I have heard nothing.

3896
02:15:34,960 --> 02:15:36,580
So it sounds fine to me.

3897
02:15:36,920 --> 02:15:38,220
There's your peerage committee.

3898
02:15:38,580 --> 02:15:40,240
I would like to be called Baron David

3899
02:15:40,240 --> 02:15:42,400
Killian of the Illinois Prairie.

3900
02:15:42,840 --> 02:15:44,680
Please play Donald Trump.

3901
02:15:44,860 --> 02:15:46,560
Don't just don't trust China.

3902
02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:49,920
They're eating the dogs and Trump Trump.

3903
02:15:50,060 --> 02:15:50,800
He's the president.

3904
02:15:50,800 --> 02:15:52,520
Yes, I've actually found that one.

3905
02:15:52,680 --> 02:15:54,640
I've labeled it properly this time.

3906
02:15:55,400 --> 02:15:58,080
And he goes on to say my podcast

3907
02:15:58,080 --> 02:16:01,620
player for iOS recommendations for no agenda chapters

3908
02:16:01,620 --> 02:16:04,140
with rotating artwork, pod home and pod verse.

3909
02:16:04,220 --> 02:16:05,560
These are modern podcast apps.

3910
02:16:05,980 --> 02:16:08,420
I like the best but long initial low

3911
02:16:08,420 --> 02:16:10,520
delay for non chapter supported podcasts.

3912
02:16:10,620 --> 02:16:11,960
I prefer pocket casts.

3913
02:16:12,220 --> 02:16:15,220
Also a two point oh compliant app.

3914
02:16:15,620 --> 02:16:18,180

Don't trust China.

China is asshole.

3925
02:16:34,500 --> 02:16:35,900
They're eating the dogs.

3926
02:16:38,900 --> 02:16:39,860
The president.

3927
02:16:43,750 --> 02:16:44,629

I got to send some value back.

3963
02:17:52,309 --> 02:17:53,370
We all love it all.

3964
02:17:53,469 --> 02:17:53,770
Thank you.

3965
02:17:53,809 --> 02:17:55,270
No agenda donations dot com.

3966
02:17:55,570 --> 02:17:58,430
Congratulations to these executive and associate executive producers.

3967
02:17:58,490 --> 02:17:59,770
Our formula is this.

3968
02:18:00,590 --> 02:18:01,250
We go out.

3969
02:18:01,730 --> 02:18:03,129
We hit people in the mouth.

3970
02:18:10,930 --> 02:18:12,530
They're eating the dogs.

3971
02:18:14,309 --> 02:18:15,549
They shut up slave.

3972
02:18:18,570 --> 02:18:19,430
Shut up.

3973
02:18:20,209 --> 02:18:21,410
That was pretty funny.

3974
02:18:21,530 --> 02:18:22,330
John Stewart.

3975
02:18:22,990 --> 02:18:23,950
I don't have a clip.

3976
02:18:24,010 --> 02:18:25,469
I should probably get a clip from it.

3977
02:18:26,030 --> 02:18:30,190
He's like he doesn't understand why Trump hasn't

3978
02:18:30,190 --> 02:18:31,290
gone after him yet.

3979
02:18:35,410 --> 02:18:37,230
Hey, man, come after me.

3980
02:18:37,290 --> 02:18:41,330
I mean, man, I'm being ignored over here

3981
02:18:41,330 --> 02:18:43,410
on Comedy Central Mondays.

3982
02:18:43,969 --> 02:18:45,730
Yes, I need the attention.

3983
02:18:45,870 --> 02:18:46,690
Come on, Trump.

3984
02:18:46,770 --> 02:18:47,590
You hate me.

3985
02:18:47,709 --> 02:18:48,350
What happened?

3986
02:18:48,530 --> 02:18:49,530
You don't hate me anymore.

3987
02:18:49,670 --> 02:18:50,250
It's no good.

3988
02:18:50,590 --> 02:18:52,770
I need one of those comeback shows like

3989
02:18:52,770 --> 02:18:53,830
Jimmy Kimmel had.

3990
02:18:54,709 --> 02:18:55,190
Please.

3991
02:18:56,389 --> 02:18:56,870
Pathetic.

3992
02:18:57,090 --> 02:18:58,590
That is that's pretty pathetic.

3993
02:18:58,930 --> 02:18:59,530
Very pathetic.

3994
02:19:00,150 --> 02:19:00,969
As if.

3995
02:19:01,270 --> 02:19:01,850
Yeah, right.

3996
02:19:02,610 --> 02:19:04,570
I mean, the networks are just dying with

3997
02:19:04,570 --> 02:19:06,389
these late night shows and they're not making

3998
02:19:06,389 --> 02:19:06,990
any money.

3999
02:19:07,090 --> 02:19:08,430
They're high budget.

4000
02:19:08,549 --> 02:19:10,910
Hundreds of people working there and they're trying

4001
02:19:10,910 --> 02:19:11,650
to get rid of him.

4002
02:19:11,690 --> 02:19:13,010
So let's blame Trump.

4003
02:19:13,010 --> 02:19:15,110
Yeah, and even that backfired.

4004
02:19:15,750 --> 02:19:16,809
Yeah, that didn't even work.

4005
02:19:16,969 --> 02:19:19,330
So Kimmel pulled a stunt and ended up

4006
02:19:19,330 --> 02:19:21,030
still on the air.

4007
02:19:21,290 --> 02:19:22,950
And the Disney guys have got to be

4008
02:19:22,950 --> 02:19:24,830
shaking their heads saying, what do we have

4009
02:19:24,830 --> 02:19:26,270
to do to get rid of this guy

4010
02:19:26,270 --> 02:19:27,990
and do something that makes us some money?

4011
02:19:28,790 --> 02:19:31,450
Yeah, maybe he should be suicided by Israel.

4012
02:19:32,490 --> 02:19:33,309
There you go.

4013
02:19:35,570 --> 02:19:37,049
Give Israel a call.

4014
02:19:38,070 --> 02:19:42,010
Call Mossad 1-800-MOSAAD.

4015
02:19:43,650 --> 02:19:48,510
Hey, this story, and maybe I'm wrong, but

4016
02:19:48,510 --> 02:19:53,410
if I recall, isn't Chevron leaving California?

4017
02:19:53,670 --> 02:19:54,370
Was it Chevron?

4018
02:19:57,130 --> 02:19:58,450
I didn't say that.

4019
02:19:58,730 --> 02:20:00,630
No, I'm asking.

4020
02:20:01,330 --> 02:20:07,290
No, they're closing the Richmond refinery and the

4021
02:20:07,290 --> 02:20:12,570
refinery that got itself in trouble is the

4022
02:20:12,570 --> 02:20:15,110
El Segundo refinery, the big boy down in

4023
02:20:15,110 --> 02:20:15,910
Southern California.

4024
02:20:16,090 --> 02:20:18,090
Wouldn't that wouldn't that make for a perfect

4025
02:20:18,090 --> 02:20:20,310
withdrawal from California altogether?

4026
02:20:20,930 --> 02:20:23,610
Yeah, well, yeah, but it didn't really destroy

4027
02:20:23,610 --> 02:20:24,150
the refinery.

4028
02:20:24,310 --> 02:20:25,070
It just made a mess.

4029
02:20:25,210 --> 02:20:27,230
Well, if you listen to this report overnight,

4030
02:20:27,350 --> 02:20:30,410
a massive explosion at a Chevron refinery, sending

4031
02:20:30,410 --> 02:20:33,030
a massive fireball into the night sky.

4032
02:20:33,510 --> 02:20:35,790
Firefighters rushing to the scene in El Segundo,

4033
02:20:36,150 --> 02:20:39,450
California around 930 last night, trying to tackle

4034
02:20:39,450 --> 02:20:40,950
that gigantic blaze.

4035
02:20:41,310 --> 02:20:43,430
Several fires burning within the facility.

4036
02:20:43,690 --> 02:20:46,050
Yeah, we have heavy flames showing from the

4037
02:20:46,050 --> 02:20:46,450
refinery.

4038
02:20:46,910 --> 02:20:48,930
I'll need a truck company with a massive

4039
02:20:48,930 --> 02:20:50,590
frame to respond to this.

4040
02:20:51,090 --> 02:20:53,930
Towering flames and billowing smoke turning the night

4041
02:20:53,930 --> 02:20:54,730
sky red.

4042
02:20:56,030 --> 02:20:57,950
The inferno could be seen for miles.

4043
02:20:58,250 --> 02:21:00,950
That blast so strong, residents say they thought

4044
02:21:00,950 --> 02:21:03,150
it was an earthquake or a plane crash.

4045
02:21:03,150 --> 02:21:05,210
That was terrible explosion.

4046
02:21:05,630 --> 02:21:08,470
Very loud terrible house like more than any

4047
02:21:08,470 --> 02:21:09,550
earthquake ever before.

4048
02:21:09,790 --> 02:21:11,350
Terrible control for sure.

4049
02:21:11,890 --> 02:21:13,970
And we didn't know what was going to

4050
02:21:13,970 --> 02:21:14,470
happen next.

4051
02:21:14,790 --> 02:21:16,830
Those residents were told to stay indoors and

4052
02:21:16,830 --> 02:21:19,310
shelter in place after concerns about the air

4053
02:21:19,310 --> 02:21:19,770
quality.

4054
02:21:20,010 --> 02:21:22,710
There are several massive flames coming from the

4055
02:21:22,710 --> 02:21:23,210
refinery.

4056
02:21:23,410 --> 02:21:25,870
That right there appears to be the epicenter

4057
02:21:25,870 --> 02:21:28,030
of this explosion that occurred.

4058
02:21:28,310 --> 02:21:30,170
At times, it seemed like the fire was

4059
02:21:30,170 --> 02:21:32,530
under control and then it would flare back

4060
02:21:32,530 --> 02:21:33,130
up again.

4061
02:21:33,150 --> 02:21:37,310
Smoke traveling to nearby LAX, blanketing the planes

4062
02:21:37,310 --> 02:21:38,150
on the tarmac.

4063
02:21:38,490 --> 02:21:40,870
That oil refinery is the largest on the

4064
02:21:40,870 --> 02:21:43,190
West Coast, spanning two square miles.

4065
02:21:43,490 --> 02:21:45,510
It supplies more than 40 percent of the

4066
02:21:45,510 --> 02:21:47,350
jet fuel and more than 20 percent of

4067
02:21:47,350 --> 02:21:49,690
the motor vehicle fuel for Southern California.

4068
02:21:49,990 --> 02:21:52,750
Not yet clear what caused this explosion, but

4069
02:21:52,750 --> 02:21:54,270
no injuries have been reported.

4070
02:21:54,490 --> 02:21:55,890
I'm just saying if I wanted to get

4071
02:21:55,890 --> 02:21:58,310
out of California altogether and with the big

4072
02:21:58,310 --> 02:22:02,810
F.U. Like, oh, our plant blew up.

4073
02:22:03,330 --> 02:22:05,310
Get some insurance coverage.

4074
02:22:07,740 --> 02:22:09,720
Yeah, it's probably not a bad idea.

4075
02:22:09,880 --> 02:22:10,580
Just thinking.

4076
02:22:10,820 --> 02:22:11,840
It's a concept.

4077
02:22:12,480 --> 02:22:14,040
And the property is worth a lot of

4078
02:22:14,040 --> 02:22:14,340
money.

4079
02:22:15,040 --> 02:22:16,040
You could resell it.

4080
02:22:17,040 --> 02:22:19,220
You'd have to do a cleanup first.

4081
02:22:19,580 --> 02:22:22,940
Take a while, especially after years and years

4082
02:22:22,940 --> 02:22:24,500
of making leaded fuel.

4083
02:22:24,900 --> 02:22:26,440
California Riviera, baby.

4084
02:22:26,580 --> 02:22:27,140
Right there.

4085
02:22:27,240 --> 02:22:27,780
It's beautiful.

4086
02:22:28,780 --> 02:22:29,680
It's a nice spot.

4087
02:22:29,920 --> 02:22:30,200
Yeah.

4088
02:22:30,200 --> 02:22:34,320
I just thought that to be rather suspicious.

4089
02:22:35,040 --> 02:22:36,720
Yeah, this happened before there, though.

4090
02:22:36,820 --> 02:22:37,280
Suspicious.

4091
02:22:37,420 --> 02:22:38,700
They have some maintenance.

4092
02:22:39,120 --> 02:22:40,460
Chevron's always been sloppy.

4093
02:22:41,260 --> 02:22:44,220
Here's my story about the maintenance at these

4094
02:22:44,220 --> 02:22:44,600
places.

4095
02:22:45,320 --> 02:22:47,380
So I worked at these refineries and I

4096
02:22:47,380 --> 02:22:49,960
was an inspector at Chevron in Richmond, but

4097
02:22:49,960 --> 02:22:52,040
I worked at the Union Oil refinery and

4098
02:22:52,040 --> 02:22:53,860
there used to be this big thing before

4099
02:22:53,860 --> 02:22:56,300
it was taken over by the cheapies that

4100
02:22:56,300 --> 02:22:56,940
own it now.

4101
02:22:56,940 --> 02:22:59,100
When Union Oil had it, they used to

4102
02:22:59,100 --> 02:23:02,300
paint their tanks all these pastel colors.

4103
02:23:02,440 --> 02:23:03,700
It was a very pretty sight when you

4104
02:23:03,700 --> 02:23:04,500
drove through it.

4105
02:23:04,700 --> 02:23:05,960
Did you see that when you landed at

4106
02:23:05,960 --> 02:23:06,400
LAX?

4107
02:23:06,460 --> 02:23:07,340
Was that a different place?

4108
02:23:07,740 --> 02:23:09,120
No, we're talking about up here.

4109
02:23:09,420 --> 02:23:09,840
Oh, OK.

4110
02:23:10,260 --> 02:23:12,560
And it's relating to Chevron to talk about

4111
02:23:12,560 --> 02:23:15,940
their fact that they're cheap with their maintenance.

4112
02:23:16,360 --> 02:23:16,540
Yeah.

4113
02:23:17,200 --> 02:23:18,280
This is a roundabout story.

4114
02:23:18,300 --> 02:23:19,160
I don't have to tell it.

4115
02:23:19,280 --> 02:23:19,800
Yeah, you do.

4116
02:23:20,820 --> 02:23:22,700
So they used to paint their tanks.

4117
02:23:22,700 --> 02:23:24,480
And so when I started as an inspector

4118
02:23:24,480 --> 02:23:27,080
at Chevron, their tanks were all rust buckets.

4119
02:23:27,600 --> 02:23:29,820
They were just looked terrible.

4120
02:23:29,920 --> 02:23:31,460
It was an embarrassment when you looked at

4121
02:23:31,460 --> 02:23:31,560
it.

4122
02:23:31,580 --> 02:23:33,920
My God, this place is a wreck because

4123
02:23:33,920 --> 02:23:36,380
the tanks were all rusting and falling apart.

4124
02:23:36,620 --> 02:23:38,020
So I talked to one of the managers

4125
02:23:38,020 --> 02:23:40,360
about this and compared to the Union place

4126
02:23:40,360 --> 02:23:42,780
where they painted the tanks beautiful pastel colors

4127
02:23:42,780 --> 02:23:44,940
and they kept painting them and maintaining them.

4128
02:23:45,360 --> 02:23:48,960
And he said there was a cost analysis

4129
02:23:48,960 --> 02:23:51,880
that Chevron did that showed that, yes, you

4130
02:23:51,880 --> 02:23:54,380
can the tanks will stay in place a

4131
02:23:54,380 --> 02:23:55,420
longer time.

4132
02:23:55,580 --> 02:23:57,720
But the cost of maintaining them with the

4133
02:23:57,720 --> 02:24:01,160
paint actually is more expensive than letting them

4134
02:24:01,160 --> 02:24:03,620
rust, fall apart and rebuilding a new tank.

4135
02:24:04,300 --> 02:24:06,200
That sounds like the American way.

4136
02:24:06,520 --> 02:24:07,600
The American way.

4137
02:24:08,100 --> 02:24:11,060
And so and so then over time, what

4138
02:24:11,060 --> 02:24:13,280
was the irony of the whole thing was

4139
02:24:13,280 --> 02:24:15,760
that Chevron, because they were getting so much

4140
02:24:15,760 --> 02:24:18,840
grief for these ugly looking rust that rusted

4141
02:24:18,840 --> 02:24:22,040
out tanks had the perfect solution.

4142
02:24:22,040 --> 02:24:24,200
Instead of painting the tanks white and letting

4143
02:24:24,200 --> 02:24:27,000
them rust, they painted them rust colored.

4144
02:24:30,600 --> 02:24:32,300
I have to blend in.

4145
02:24:32,660 --> 02:24:33,820
It was genius.

4146
02:24:34,580 --> 02:24:35,740
Oh, that's great.

4147
02:24:37,100 --> 02:24:38,660
I'm glad you told that story.

4148
02:24:38,800 --> 02:24:39,360
That was worth it.

4149
02:24:39,380 --> 02:24:40,100
They're very pretty.

4150
02:24:40,240 --> 02:24:42,180
The rust colored tanks are really pretty.

4151
02:24:42,340 --> 02:24:43,940
So it's just like, OK, well, that works.

4152
02:24:44,060 --> 02:24:46,260
I mean, they blow up, but otherwise, well,

4153
02:24:46,360 --> 02:24:49,040
they rust out and leak and it's a

4154
02:24:49,040 --> 02:24:49,300
mess.

4155
02:24:49,880 --> 02:24:52,160
Oh, that's good.

4156
02:24:52,260 --> 02:24:54,700
That was well worth the well worth it.

4157
02:24:54,740 --> 02:24:55,480
I like that.

4158
02:24:57,520 --> 02:25:00,000
You got some other errant stuff here.

4159
02:25:00,180 --> 02:25:03,440
I got to talk about COVID, the bullcrap

4160
02:25:03,440 --> 02:25:04,680
long COVID clip.

4161
02:25:04,880 --> 02:25:05,540
Oh, let's do Diddy.

4162
02:25:05,700 --> 02:25:06,360
Let's do Diddy.

4163
02:25:07,080 --> 02:25:07,840
That's just the one.

4164
02:25:08,020 --> 02:25:09,460
Yeah, that's just a summary of what happened

4165
02:25:09,460 --> 02:25:09,920
with Diddy.

4166
02:25:10,320 --> 02:25:16,980
Sean Combs has been sentenced to more than

4167
02:25:16,980 --> 02:25:19,720
four years in prison after a lengthy hearing

4168
02:25:19,720 --> 02:25:21,000
in Manhattan yesterday.

4169
02:25:21,780 --> 02:25:24,600
The rapper, producer and businessman was convicted in

4170
02:25:24,600 --> 02:25:27,700
July on two prostitution related charges.

4171
02:25:28,260 --> 02:25:30,460
Khloe Malas has covered the Combs trial for

4172
02:25:30,460 --> 02:25:31,200
NBC News.

4173
02:25:31,420 --> 02:25:33,240
She joins us from an airport now.

4174
02:25:34,200 --> 02:25:35,060
Thanks for being with us.

4175
02:25:35,360 --> 02:25:36,200
Thanks for having me.

4176
02:25:36,260 --> 02:25:36,660
Good morning.

4177
02:25:37,000 --> 02:25:39,280
He was acquitted of the most serious charges,

4178
02:25:39,440 --> 02:25:41,020
sex trafficking and racketeering.

4179
02:25:41,200 --> 02:25:42,660
What are the two charges of which he's

4180
02:25:42,660 --> 02:25:43,600
now been found guilty?

4181
02:25:44,280 --> 02:25:46,320
Those are two counts of something called the

4182
02:25:46,320 --> 02:25:46,820
Mann Act.

4183
02:25:46,820 --> 02:25:50,000
It's transportation to engage in prostitution, and he

4184
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:53,520
was found guilty by the jury over the

4185
02:25:53,520 --> 02:25:55,480
summer of those two counts.

4186
02:25:55,620 --> 02:25:57,460
But like you said, he was acquitted of

4187
02:25:57,460 --> 02:26:00,480
the more serious charges, which he faced a

4188
02:26:00,480 --> 02:26:03,660
life in prison sentence if convicted on those.

4189
02:26:03,800 --> 02:26:05,960
Well, tell us more about this sentence of

4190
02:26:05,960 --> 02:26:09,000
about four years, because the judge could have

4191
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:11,120
handed down something lengthier, couldn't he?

4192
02:26:11,120 --> 02:26:13,440
So the judge could have given Combs up

4193
02:26:13,440 --> 02:26:16,380
to 10 years on each count of the

4194
02:26:16,380 --> 02:26:18,700
Mann Act, which means he could have faced

4195
02:26:18,700 --> 02:26:20,800
up to 20 years in federal prison.

4196
02:26:21,280 --> 02:26:23,780
The judge giving him four years and two

4197
02:26:23,780 --> 02:26:27,060
months is actually quite a surprise because it

4198
02:26:27,060 --> 02:26:29,560
is less than what the probation department recommended,

4199
02:26:29,740 --> 02:26:31,820
which was between five and seven years.

4200
02:26:32,380 --> 02:26:35,160
Now, it is not what Combs' legal team

4201
02:26:35,160 --> 02:26:36,880
wanted, which was 14 months.

4202
02:26:36,880 --> 02:26:39,180
I actually spoke to one of his attorneys,

4203
02:26:39,400 --> 02:26:43,060
Brian Steele, last night outside of the courthouse

4204
02:26:43,060 --> 02:26:45,240
following the judge's decision, and they said that

4205
02:26:45,240 --> 02:26:48,500
they were very disappointed in this and that

4206
02:26:48,500 --> 02:26:50,440
all they want is Combs to come home

4207
02:26:50,440 --> 02:26:52,080
and that they plan to appeal.

4208
02:26:52,940 --> 02:26:56,260
We certainly heard a lot from Sean Combs'

4209
02:26:56,900 --> 02:26:58,520
alleged victims during the trial.

4210
02:26:59,300 --> 02:27:01,260
How did they receive news of the sentence?

4211
02:27:01,260 --> 02:27:03,700
One of the first individuals to react to

4212
02:27:03,700 --> 02:27:06,940
the news of Combs' sentence was Cassie Ventura,

4213
02:27:07,100 --> 02:27:10,140
his longtime girlfriend, who was a key witness

4214
02:27:10,140 --> 02:27:10,980
in this trial.

4215
02:27:11,540 --> 02:27:13,460
And in a statement through her attorney, she

4216
02:27:13,460 --> 02:27:15,880
says that nothing can undo this trauma.

4217
02:27:16,400 --> 02:27:18,160
But basically, this is a step in the

4218
02:27:18,160 --> 02:27:21,580
right direction, that this shows the serious nature

4219
02:27:21,580 --> 02:27:23,320
of his crimes.

4220
02:27:24,380 --> 02:27:26,280
So they need to get this guy back

4221
02:27:26,280 --> 02:27:27,180
doing those beats.

4222
02:27:27,180 --> 02:27:29,820
You know, yeah, bitches, that's right.

4223
02:27:29,900 --> 02:27:31,480
You got to get some beats going on

4224
02:27:31,480 --> 02:27:32,580
to PSYOP the kids.

4225
02:27:32,660 --> 02:27:34,140
This pisses me off, actually.

4226
02:27:35,100 --> 02:27:35,240
Why?

4227
02:27:35,640 --> 02:27:38,560
My friend, the ER doctor who worked through

4228
02:27:38,560 --> 02:27:42,180
COVID as an ER doctor, who got PSYOP

4229
02:27:42,180 --> 02:27:45,540
during COVID into a Medicare scam, honeypotted.

4230
02:27:46,140 --> 02:27:47,440
Yeah, your guy, the guy there.

4231
02:27:47,500 --> 02:27:51,020
Yeah, honeypotted by the Justice Department itself, pretending

4232
02:27:51,020 --> 02:27:52,020
to be patients.

4233
02:27:52,380 --> 02:27:54,860
This guy was an ER doctor, not sophisticated

4234
02:27:54,860 --> 02:27:55,960
in scams.

4235
02:27:56,680 --> 02:28:01,920
He's serving 10 years for like a couple

4236
02:28:01,920 --> 02:28:05,660
hundred thousand dollars over several years, which he

4237
02:28:05,660 --> 02:28:08,860
legitimately did not, had no way of knowing

4238
02:28:08,860 --> 02:28:09,640
it was a scam.

4239
02:28:09,860 --> 02:28:12,000
And this guy walks with four.

4240
02:28:12,640 --> 02:28:14,460
This, this is dumb.

4241
02:28:15,820 --> 02:28:18,100
Yeah, I guess you, I think you're right.

4242
02:28:18,280 --> 02:28:19,480
I mean, that bothers me.

4243
02:28:20,040 --> 02:28:21,000
That bothers me.

4244
02:28:21,700 --> 02:28:23,020
I'm going to go visit him again in

4245
02:28:23,020 --> 02:28:23,420
November.

4246
02:28:23,980 --> 02:28:25,520
Talk to my Metallica boys.

4247
02:28:25,640 --> 02:28:26,300
They're the guards.

4248
02:28:26,840 --> 02:28:27,560
Hey boys, I'm coming.

4249
02:28:28,740 --> 02:28:31,620
So there is a, I have a series

4250
02:28:31,620 --> 02:28:35,220
of clips from, I think it's PBS.

4251
02:28:35,580 --> 02:28:38,320
I'm not sure, but it's about long COVID

4252
02:28:38,320 --> 02:28:40,360
and it's a bunch of BS, it seems

4253
02:28:40,360 --> 02:28:41,140
to me.

4254
02:28:41,480 --> 02:28:42,000
Okay.

4255
02:28:42,240 --> 02:28:44,880
And it finishes with what I call the

4256
02:28:44,880 --> 02:28:45,440
crock.

4257
02:28:47,160 --> 02:28:47,520
Long COVID.

4258
02:28:47,720 --> 02:28:50,420
So long COVID, let's just establish whatever you

4259
02:28:50,420 --> 02:28:50,620
think.

4260
02:28:50,620 --> 02:28:51,880
And by the way, you don't have to

4261
02:28:51,880 --> 02:28:54,080
email me because I guess whenever we talk

4262
02:28:54,080 --> 02:28:56,640
about long COVID, people tell me it's real.

4263
02:28:57,020 --> 02:28:59,260
And I'm not saying that it's not real,

4264
02:28:59,300 --> 02:29:01,160
that you don't feel something and you feel

4265
02:29:01,160 --> 02:29:03,780
bad or you have something, but calling it

4266
02:29:03,780 --> 02:29:06,020
long COVID is bullcrap.

4267
02:29:06,100 --> 02:29:07,140
It's a cop-out.

4268
02:29:09,040 --> 02:29:11,520
Well, it keeps, I believe after listening to

4269
02:29:11,520 --> 02:29:14,920
this, these clips and listening about log and

4270
02:29:14,920 --> 02:29:20,000
COVID over the five years, I believe it

4271
02:29:20,000 --> 02:29:22,580
to be part of a effort to keep

4272
02:29:22,580 --> 02:29:24,700
the word COVID in play so you can

4273
02:29:24,700 --> 02:29:28,260
sell more vaxxers, especially the new super spike

4274
02:29:28,260 --> 02:29:29,200
or whatever it's called.

4275
02:29:30,120 --> 02:29:31,660
Moderna's big spike.

4276
02:29:32,160 --> 02:29:34,560
A lot of people have chronic fatigue disease.

4277
02:29:34,880 --> 02:29:35,620
That's real.

4278
02:29:36,940 --> 02:29:40,500
But even one of the guys here who

4279
02:29:40,500 --> 02:29:43,960
goes to our church, he's in his late

4280
02:29:43,960 --> 02:29:44,860
forties, I think.

4281
02:29:46,100 --> 02:29:47,060
Maybe 50.

4282
02:29:47,880 --> 02:29:50,440
And he was diagnosed with, oh, it's long

4283
02:29:50,440 --> 02:29:50,800
COVID.

4284
02:29:50,940 --> 02:29:54,300
But really he had a heart arrhythmia, you

4285
02:29:54,300 --> 02:29:54,500
know?

4286
02:29:54,620 --> 02:29:57,320
And so it's like, just say long COVID

4287
02:29:57,320 --> 02:29:57,680
for everything.

4288
02:29:57,680 --> 02:29:58,780
Yeah, the COVID triggered it, probably.

4289
02:29:59,660 --> 02:30:00,140
Maybe.

4290
02:30:00,200 --> 02:30:01,740
I mean, or the vax, it triggered it.

4291
02:30:01,880 --> 02:30:03,680
No, no, no, not vax, not vax.

4292
02:30:04,000 --> 02:30:04,940
Cookies, not vax.

4293
02:30:05,080 --> 02:30:06,700
But did he ever have COVID?

4294
02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:11,020
Well, you know, a lot of people here

4295
02:30:11,020 --> 02:30:11,920
test.

4296
02:30:12,540 --> 02:30:13,480
So who knows?

4297
02:30:13,600 --> 02:30:14,600
Oh, I have COVID.

4298
02:30:15,660 --> 02:30:16,800
So I don't know.

4299
02:30:16,940 --> 02:30:17,220
Okay, well.

4300
02:30:17,420 --> 02:30:18,500
Did he think he had COVID?

4301
02:30:18,620 --> 02:30:19,920
Yeah, for sure.

4302
02:30:21,020 --> 02:30:23,340
So here we go with the long COVID

4303
02:30:23,340 --> 02:30:23,760
BS.

4304
02:30:24,000 --> 02:30:25,940
And the thing is, it's two things, keeping

4305
02:30:25,940 --> 02:30:30,240
COVID in the public brain and then also

4306
02:30:30,240 --> 02:30:30,680
money.

4307
02:30:31,180 --> 02:30:31,560
Yes.

4308
02:30:31,960 --> 02:30:33,920
It's been more than two years since the

4309
02:30:33,920 --> 02:30:37,020
pandemic ended, but millions of Americans are still

4310
02:30:37,020 --> 02:30:38,620
living with long COVID.

4311
02:30:39,280 --> 02:30:41,280
That's a catch-all term for COVID symptoms

4312
02:30:41,280 --> 02:30:43,840
lasting at least three months after testing positive.

4313
02:30:43,840 --> 02:30:46,580
Symptoms can vary from person to person, but

4314
02:30:46,580 --> 02:30:49,420
they range from mild to severe to physically

4315
02:30:49,420 --> 02:30:50,220
disabling.

4316
02:30:50,980 --> 02:30:52,740
Recently, Health Secretary Robert F.

4317
02:30:52,900 --> 02:30:55,240
Kennedy, Jr. kicked off new efforts to address

4318
02:30:55,240 --> 02:30:58,360
long COVID with a roundtable discussion with doctors,

4319
02:30:58,740 --> 02:31:00,260
researchers, and patient advocates.

4320
02:31:00,660 --> 02:31:04,620
In the past, the response to epidemics of

4321
02:31:04,620 --> 02:31:08,200
this kind has been to pump a lot

4322
02:31:08,200 --> 02:31:10,480
of money into ivory tower science to try

4323
02:31:10,480 --> 02:31:11,660
to solve the problem.

4324
02:31:11,660 --> 02:31:15,120
We've already put $1.5 billion into NIH

4325
02:31:15,120 --> 02:31:18,560
to solve long COVID, and we've got literally

4326
02:31:18,560 --> 02:31:19,640
nothing from it.

4327
02:31:20,320 --> 02:31:22,680
Ali Rogin spoke to two members of the

4328
02:31:22,680 --> 02:31:23,760
long COVID community.

4329
02:31:24,200 --> 02:31:27,200
Dr. Michael Peluso, a physician and researcher at

4330
02:31:27,200 --> 02:31:30,240
UC San Francisco, who attended that roundtable meeting,

4331
02:31:30,600 --> 02:31:33,420
and Megan Stone, the executive director of the

4332
02:31:33,420 --> 02:31:34,600
long COVID campaign.

4333
02:31:35,100 --> 02:31:37,120
So can I get the zip code for

4334
02:31:37,120 --> 02:31:38,420
the long COVID community?

4335
02:31:38,960 --> 02:31:41,000
Yeah, the long COVID community.

4336
02:31:41,620 --> 02:31:43,280
It's just south of you.

4337
02:31:43,700 --> 02:31:45,080
Yeah, community.

4338
02:31:45,640 --> 02:31:46,000
All right.

4339
02:31:47,500 --> 02:31:48,380
All right, go on.

4340
02:31:48,720 --> 02:31:50,340
Michael and Megan, thank you both so much

4341
02:31:50,340 --> 02:31:51,140
for joining us.

4342
02:31:51,320 --> 02:31:53,180
Michael, first to you, we just heard Secretary

4343
02:31:53,180 --> 02:31:55,620
Kennedy say that there's been nothing to show

4344
02:31:55,620 --> 02:31:59,200
for HHS's investment so far in long COVID

4345
02:31:59,200 --> 02:31:59,660
research.

4346
02:32:00,060 --> 02:32:01,020
What do you say to that?

4347
02:32:01,720 --> 02:32:03,860
Well, I think many of us agree that

4348
02:32:03,860 --> 02:32:05,920
progress has really been too slow.

4349
02:32:06,700 --> 02:32:10,540
There are a lot of patients really suffering.

4350
02:32:10,540 --> 02:32:14,460
A lot of disability, a huge economic cost.

4351
02:32:14,980 --> 02:32:17,420
At the same time, there's a lot of

4352
02:32:17,420 --> 02:32:20,420
commitment on the part of clinicians caring for

4353
02:32:20,420 --> 02:32:23,600
patients with long COVID, researchers really trying to

4354
02:32:23,600 --> 02:32:25,600
figure out the answers for these patients.

4355
02:32:26,040 --> 02:32:27,600
What I think we need, and what I

4356
02:32:27,600 --> 02:32:30,400
hope that this roundtable will be the beginning

4357
02:32:30,400 --> 02:32:33,380
of, is a really clear, both a short

4358
02:32:33,380 --> 02:32:35,640
-term plan and a long-term plan for

4359
02:32:35,640 --> 02:32:36,580
figuring this out.

4360
02:32:36,740 --> 02:32:39,280
We need a broader, organized strategy.

4361
02:32:39,280 --> 02:32:43,020
What would make up, Michael, sticking with you,

4362
02:32:43,140 --> 02:32:46,280
that long and short-term plan in order

4363
02:32:46,280 --> 02:32:47,680
to make this strategy work?

4364
02:32:47,840 --> 02:32:48,380
What's needed?

4365
02:32:49,260 --> 02:32:51,500
There are actually three specific things that I

4366
02:32:51,500 --> 02:32:53,400
advocated for at this meeting, and I think

4367
02:32:53,400 --> 02:32:55,660
that there was broad agreement on these things.

4368
02:32:56,280 --> 02:33:00,280
The first is real investment, real investment, real

4369
02:33:00,280 --> 02:33:05,600
investment in a diagnostics and biomarker program, both

4370
02:33:05,600 --> 02:33:08,840
to help people get a diagnosis of long

4371
02:33:08,840 --> 02:33:11,440
COVID in the clinic, but also to help

4372
02:33:11,440 --> 02:33:15,480
us identify individuals who may benefit from a

4373
02:33:15,480 --> 02:33:19,520
specific treatment strategy or for participation in a

4374
02:33:19,520 --> 02:33:20,800
specific clinical trial.

4375
02:33:21,260 --> 02:33:23,300
The second thing that we really need is

4376
02:33:23,300 --> 02:33:26,660
a rapid scale up of the number of

4377
02:33:26,660 --> 02:33:28,620
clinical trials that are happening.

4378
02:33:29,020 --> 02:33:31,660
We've seen some improvements, some increase in the

4379
02:33:31,660 --> 02:33:33,620
number of clinical trials over the last couple

4380
02:33:33,620 --> 02:33:36,020
of years, but I'd like to see a

4381
02:33:36,020 --> 02:33:39,580
dozen more clinical trials right now testing all

4382
02:33:39,580 --> 02:33:42,320
of the different possible leads for what might

4383
02:33:42,320 --> 02:33:44,620
cause long COVID and how we might help

4384
02:33:44,620 --> 02:33:45,460
people feel better.

4385
02:33:46,220 --> 02:33:48,260
Translation, we don't really know what it is

4386
02:33:48,260 --> 02:33:48,640
either.

4387
02:33:49,580 --> 02:33:51,600
It's just, it's pathetic.

4388
02:33:52,600 --> 02:33:54,400
But give me some money and I can

4389
02:33:54,400 --> 02:33:55,320
tell you what it is.

4390
02:33:55,360 --> 02:33:55,680
Money, money, money.

4391
02:33:55,720 --> 02:33:56,480
Money, money, money.

4392
02:33:56,620 --> 02:33:57,960
And then the third thing that we really

4393
02:33:57,960 --> 02:34:00,580
need to help that happen is we need

4394
02:34:00,580 --> 02:34:03,980
the pharmaceutical industry to get off the sidelines

4395
02:34:03,980 --> 02:34:07,800
and to really commit to participating in clinical

4396
02:34:07,800 --> 02:34:11,700
trials, putting their drugs up for testing, investing

4397
02:34:11,700 --> 02:34:14,180
deeply in this problem so that we can

4398
02:34:14,180 --> 02:34:17,100
get answers for people who are really debilitated

4399
02:34:17,100 --> 02:34:17,860
from this condition.

4400
02:34:18,220 --> 02:34:20,700
Megan, as somebody who is a patient and

4401
02:34:20,700 --> 02:34:23,320
an advocate, how are you feeling about the

4402
02:34:23,320 --> 02:34:24,940
commitments that have been announced recently?

4403
02:34:25,520 --> 02:34:27,540
Well, right now today, there's about 20 million

4404
02:34:27,540 --> 02:34:29,820
Americans just like me who are living with

4405
02:34:29,820 --> 02:34:31,860
long COVID and many of us were in

4406
02:34:31,860 --> 02:34:33,760
the prime of our careers and lives and

4407
02:34:33,760 --> 02:34:36,160
now are disabled and chronically ill.

4408
02:34:36,320 --> 02:34:39,800
And so the administration's announcements that Secretary Kennedy

4409
02:34:39,800 --> 02:34:40,700
made were welcome.

4410
02:34:41,160 --> 02:34:42,980
It was really good to see the HHS

4411
02:34:42,980 --> 02:34:45,780
secretary having a high-level meeting, bringing together

4412
02:34:45,780 --> 02:34:47,600
all the parts of government that we really

4413
02:34:47,600 --> 02:34:49,440
need to work together to find a solution.

4414
02:34:49,780 --> 02:34:52,680
That's really what we need to see so

4415
02:34:52,680 --> 02:34:54,580
that parents like myself can get back to

4416
02:34:54,580 --> 02:34:55,880
volunteering at our kids' schools.

4417
02:34:55,880 --> 02:34:57,740
We can go back to our workplaces and

4418
02:34:57,740 --> 02:34:59,880
patients can finally get the tests and the

4419
02:34:59,880 --> 02:35:01,880
treatments that we've been waiting over five years

4420
02:35:01,880 --> 02:35:02,320
for now.

4421
02:35:03,040 --> 02:35:06,080
I'm just going to guess that your final

4422
02:35:06,080 --> 02:35:08,760
clip should not be three minutes and 10

4423
02:35:08,760 --> 02:35:09,300
seconds.

4424
02:35:10,440 --> 02:35:11,620
Let me take a look.

4425
02:35:12,600 --> 02:35:13,560
Probably not.

4426
02:35:13,840 --> 02:35:18,140
Generally speaking, I can explain how that happens

4427
02:35:18,140 --> 02:35:19,720
once in a while, but I'm not going

4428
02:35:19,720 --> 02:35:20,060
to.

4429
02:35:20,160 --> 02:35:20,960
No, why bother?

4430
02:35:21,760 --> 02:35:23,480
I'll tell you when to cut it off.

4431
02:35:23,480 --> 02:35:26,620
It'll be around, you know, we'll see.

4432
02:35:26,840 --> 02:35:27,280
Buck 20.

4433
02:35:27,620 --> 02:35:29,360
Megan, you've been working on these things and

4434
02:35:29,360 --> 02:35:31,720
advocating for your community for these five years.

4435
02:35:32,100 --> 02:35:34,220
Based on your experience, what are your hopes

4436
02:35:34,220 --> 02:35:35,840
for what happens next?

4437
02:35:36,220 --> 02:35:38,100
And also, where do your concerns lie?

4438
02:35:39,000 --> 02:35:41,000
By the way, this is so scripted.

4439
02:35:41,880 --> 02:35:44,400
I mean, you can hear an NPR show

4440
02:35:44,400 --> 02:35:46,220
or it's PBS scripted.

4441
02:35:46,380 --> 02:35:47,900
By the way, when I play the boing,

4442
02:35:48,000 --> 02:35:48,660
it'll be over.

4443
02:35:49,860 --> 02:35:50,380
Surprise.

4444
02:35:50,380 --> 02:35:50,820
Years.

4445
02:35:51,260 --> 02:35:53,700
Based on your experience, what are your hopes

4446
02:35:53,700 --> 02:35:55,300
for what happens next?

4447
02:35:55,460 --> 02:35:57,580
And also, where do your concerns lie?

4448
02:35:58,240 --> 02:36:00,860
Like many patients, the Long COVID campaign has

4449
02:36:00,860 --> 02:36:03,600
been calling for biomarkers so that we can

4450
02:36:03,600 --> 02:36:06,300
do research and figure out if treatments are

4451
02:36:06,300 --> 02:36:07,900
going to work and hopefully get a test

4452
02:36:07,900 --> 02:36:09,940
so that people in the United States, Americans

4453
02:36:09,940 --> 02:36:12,600
who are disabled, can more easily qualify for

4454
02:36:12,600 --> 02:36:14,840
disability, that we can see insurance coverage.

4455
02:36:15,240 --> 02:36:17,240
We really want to see the FDA move

4456
02:36:17,240 --> 02:36:17,820
more quickly.

4457
02:36:17,820 --> 02:36:20,020
And we're hoping with these announcements from the

4458
02:36:20,020 --> 02:36:22,560
administration that we'll see them more rapidly approve

4459
02:36:22,560 --> 02:36:24,960
clinical trials with the endpoints that we need

4460
02:36:24,960 --> 02:36:27,940
and then work together on approving treatments and

4461
02:36:27,940 --> 02:36:31,340
therapies that families and Americans living with Long

4462
02:36:31,340 --> 02:36:32,520
COVID urgently need.

4463
02:36:32,640 --> 02:36:34,520
We didn't see the progress we needed under

4464
02:36:34,520 --> 02:36:35,560
the Biden administration.

4465
02:36:36,220 --> 02:36:37,700
And I know so many patients are ready

4466
02:36:37,700 --> 02:36:39,720
to work with this administration in an earnest

4467
02:36:39,720 --> 02:36:41,560
way to actually solve this problem.

4468
02:36:41,560 --> 02:36:44,680
And for both of you, COVID-19 and

4469
02:36:44,680 --> 02:36:48,120
Long COVID are things that many Americans have

4470
02:36:48,120 --> 02:36:50,640
quite simply moved on from.

4471
02:36:51,120 --> 02:36:53,060
And yet there are many, many more people

4472
02:36:53,060 --> 02:36:55,000
who are living with this every single day.

4473
02:36:55,300 --> 02:36:57,200
First to you, Michael, what do you want

4474
02:36:57,200 --> 02:37:00,120
people who haven't been affected by Long COVID

4475
02:37:00,120 --> 02:37:01,500
to know about this community?

4476
02:37:02,280 --> 02:37:04,820
I think it's really important that people understand

4477
02:37:04,820 --> 02:37:07,100
that this can often be an invisible disease

4478
02:37:07,100 --> 02:37:08,300
and that there are a lot of people

4479
02:37:08,300 --> 02:37:10,640
really suffering and really debilitated by it.

4480
02:37:10,640 --> 02:37:14,620
And, you know, I think that the investment

4481
02:37:14,620 --> 02:37:19,220
in addressing this problem is likely to have

4482
02:37:19,220 --> 02:37:22,640
benefits that extend beyond this problem.

4483
02:37:23,300 --> 02:37:25,940
Long COVID is a really, really challenging disease

4484
02:37:25,940 --> 02:37:28,700
to study, to research, to treat, and it'll

4485
02:37:28,700 --> 02:37:30,200
be a big problem to solve.

4486
02:37:30,660 --> 02:37:32,480
But I think that if we have the

4487
02:37:32,480 --> 02:37:34,900
resources and the strategy and the long-term

4488
02:37:34,900 --> 02:37:37,460
plan to do it, this should be a

4489
02:37:37,460 --> 02:37:38,880
problem that we can solve.

4490
02:37:38,880 --> 02:37:39,640
And Megan?

4491
02:37:40,400 --> 02:37:43,620
Americans may feel like the pandemic's over or

4492
02:37:43,620 --> 02:37:45,820
that COVID is in the rearview mirror, but

4493
02:37:45,820 --> 02:37:47,680
even in just the last few months, we

4494
02:37:47,680 --> 02:37:50,020
saw the announcement that Long COVID is now

4495
02:37:50,020 --> 02:37:52,420
the most common childhood illness in the United

4496
02:37:52,420 --> 02:37:52,780
States.

4497
02:37:52,880 --> 02:37:54,040
It even surpassed asthma.

4498
02:37:54,880 --> 02:37:55,640
So it's still...

4499
02:37:57,760 --> 02:37:58,360
What?

4500
02:37:58,720 --> 02:38:00,460
It surpassed asthma?

4501
02:38:01,880 --> 02:38:05,880
The most common childhood disease in America is

4502
02:38:05,880 --> 02:38:07,620
now Long COVID.

4503
02:38:08,960 --> 02:38:10,380
When did that happen?

4504
02:38:10,600 --> 02:38:12,180
When you're a kid, you can't even get

4505
02:38:12,180 --> 02:38:12,620
COVID.

4506
02:38:12,840 --> 02:38:15,680
It's almost impossible, but somehow it's become the

4507
02:38:15,680 --> 02:38:20,760
number one childhood disease, surpassing asthma.

4508
02:38:20,940 --> 02:38:24,840
According to these jermokes, I'd like to see

4509
02:38:24,840 --> 02:38:26,280
some data on that.

4510
02:38:27,280 --> 02:38:30,060
Give me your Taylor Swift phony story.

4511
02:38:30,160 --> 02:38:31,280
What is this Taylor Swift?

4512
02:38:31,800 --> 02:38:32,820
Okay, this is...

4513
02:38:34,660 --> 02:38:36,820
You know, they have to talk about Taylor

4514
02:38:36,820 --> 02:38:38,020
Swift on NPR.

4515
02:38:38,160 --> 02:38:38,680
Of course!

4516
02:38:38,880 --> 02:38:40,420
Because it's Taylor Swift.

4517
02:38:41,040 --> 02:38:42,420
But this is kind of...

4518
02:38:42,420 --> 02:38:44,700
I consider this, even though they kind of

4519
02:38:44,700 --> 02:38:46,980
couch it as like a positive thing, she's

4520
02:38:46,980 --> 02:38:48,800
a good marketing woman and all this and

4521
02:38:48,800 --> 02:38:48,980
that.

4522
02:38:49,160 --> 02:38:51,300
But this to me just says she's a

4523
02:38:51,300 --> 02:38:52,260
big phony.

4524
02:38:52,660 --> 02:38:55,440
Taylor Swift talks about her musical and personal

4525
02:38:55,440 --> 02:38:56,700
style in eras.

4526
02:38:57,220 --> 02:39:00,420
Researchers say those eras have also influenced how

4527
02:39:00,420 --> 02:39:01,140
she speaks.

4528
02:39:01,460 --> 02:39:03,680
Matthew Wynn of the University of Minnesota co

4529
02:39:03,680 --> 02:39:06,160
-authored a study that analyzed her speech from

4530
02:39:06,160 --> 02:39:07,900
2008 to 2019.

4531
02:39:07,900 --> 02:39:10,760
As a person moves to different cities and

4532
02:39:10,760 --> 02:39:13,720
different communities, they have motivation to change how

4533
02:39:13,720 --> 02:39:14,500
they speak.

4534
02:39:14,560 --> 02:39:17,120
While most people don't record themselves from location

4535
02:39:17,120 --> 02:39:19,580
to location, Swift's career allowed for that.

4536
02:39:19,880 --> 02:39:21,920
We have this timeline of her voice throughout

4537
02:39:21,920 --> 02:39:22,400
the years.

4538
02:39:22,740 --> 02:39:25,560
Swift was raised in Pennsylvania, then moved to

4539
02:39:25,560 --> 02:39:25,960
Nashville.

4540
02:39:26,840 --> 02:39:29,700
Wynn analyzed this clip of Swift speaking from

4541
02:39:29,700 --> 02:39:30,860
her time in Nashville.

4542
02:39:31,320 --> 02:39:34,060
My role models in country music are Shania

4543
02:39:34,060 --> 02:39:35,780
Twain, Faith Hill, Dixie Chicks.

4544
02:39:35,780 --> 02:39:37,960
Part of what it means to be a

4545
02:39:37,960 --> 02:39:40,080
country musician is to speak with that southern

4546
02:39:40,080 --> 02:39:40,420
accent.

4547
02:39:41,060 --> 02:39:42,620
And just to make sure that she was

4548
02:39:42,620 --> 02:39:44,920
welcomed into that community, maybe that was something

4549
02:39:44,920 --> 02:39:46,180
that helped that process.

4550
02:39:46,500 --> 02:39:49,280
When Swift released Red in 2012, her speech

4551
02:39:49,280 --> 02:39:50,340
seemed to change.

4552
02:39:50,520 --> 02:39:52,800
A return to her Pennsylvania accent seemed evident

4553
02:39:52,800 --> 02:39:54,560
in a live webcast in 2013.

4554
02:39:55,120 --> 02:39:57,380
A huge inspiration from my imagination.

4555
02:39:57,940 --> 02:40:00,540
She was exiting country music and entering pop

4556
02:40:00,540 --> 02:40:03,700
music, where a southern accent wouldn't have necessarily

4557
02:40:03,700 --> 02:40:04,600
fit in as well.

4558
02:40:04,600 --> 02:40:07,420
Then, after she moved to New York, the

4559
02:40:07,420 --> 02:40:09,580
pitch of her voice dropped, as in this

4560
02:40:09,580 --> 02:40:11,800
2019 interview with CBS Sunday Morning.

4561
02:40:12,080 --> 02:40:14,400
And he has 300 million reasons to conveniently

4562
02:40:14,400 --> 02:40:15,720
forget those conversations.

4563
02:40:16,260 --> 02:40:17,280
Wynn explains.

4564
02:40:17,760 --> 02:40:19,240
This was a time when she was being

4565
02:40:19,240 --> 02:40:22,120
much more vocal about social and political issues

4566
02:40:22,120 --> 02:40:24,620
and the autonomy of musicians over their own

4567
02:40:24,620 --> 02:40:25,060
work.

4568
02:40:25,680 --> 02:40:27,560
And so I think she did what a

4569
02:40:27,560 --> 02:40:28,280
lot of people do.

4570
02:40:28,460 --> 02:40:30,440
She took those issues very seriously.

4571
02:40:30,680 --> 02:40:32,440
She started speaking with a lower voice.

4572
02:40:33,740 --> 02:40:35,820
This was what university now?

4573
02:40:37,100 --> 02:40:38,020
Oh, I don't know.

4574
02:40:38,400 --> 02:40:38,960
Pennsylvania or something.

4575
02:40:39,760 --> 02:40:41,880
Taylor Swift talks about her musical and personal

4576
02:40:41,880 --> 02:40:43,200
style in eras.

4577
02:40:43,780 --> 02:40:46,920
Researchers say those eras have also influenced how

4578
02:40:46,920 --> 02:40:47,660
she speaks.

4579
02:40:47,980 --> 02:40:50,180
Matthew Wynn of the University of Minnesota, Co

4580
02:40:50,180 --> 02:40:50,960
-op, Minnesota.

4581
02:40:51,260 --> 02:40:53,120
If you go to the University of Minnesota,

4582
02:40:53,480 --> 02:40:54,720
drop out immediately.

4583
02:40:55,180 --> 02:40:57,420
They are misusing your tuition.

4584
02:40:58,240 --> 02:41:00,300
Well, this is like Harvard and having that,

4585
02:41:00,300 --> 02:41:04,380
that, that, that drag queen give a course

4586
02:41:04,380 --> 02:41:04,720
in.

4587
02:41:05,280 --> 02:41:06,320
In drag queenery.

4588
02:41:07,120 --> 02:41:07,980
Oh, what was the name?

4589
02:41:08,040 --> 02:41:09,560
She's got this crazy name.

4590
02:41:10,480 --> 02:41:13,140
Yeah, something that I guarantee that at least

4591
02:41:13,140 --> 02:41:15,700
five people in the control room will come

4592
02:41:15,700 --> 02:41:16,460
up with her name.

4593
02:41:17,320 --> 02:41:20,020
And it's a course in, it's just a

4594
02:41:20,020 --> 02:41:21,940
crazy nutball course.

4595
02:41:21,940 --> 02:41:22,740
And it's Harvard.

4596
02:41:24,540 --> 02:41:25,440
There it is.

4597
02:41:25,480 --> 02:41:25,960
There's coming.

4598
02:41:26,360 --> 02:41:27,500
Now I'm waiting for it.

4599
02:41:30,300 --> 02:41:31,120
I'm looking in there.

4600
02:41:31,160 --> 02:41:31,920
Did we have a clip?

4601
02:41:32,960 --> 02:41:34,180
No, I don't have a clip of that.

4602
02:41:34,220 --> 02:41:34,620
It's dumb.

4603
02:41:34,760 --> 02:41:37,300
So that's dumber than what I just played.

4604
02:41:37,420 --> 02:41:37,700
All right.

4605
02:41:37,720 --> 02:41:39,380
What you do have is you have a

4606
02:41:39,380 --> 02:41:40,240
podcast clip.

4607
02:41:40,300 --> 02:41:42,020
Let's end on a podcast clip.

4608
02:41:42,560 --> 02:41:45,460
I have a podcast clip podcast about Bucky's

4609
02:41:45,460 --> 02:41:46,140
noteworthy.

4610
02:41:46,240 --> 02:41:49,240
Oh, yeah, this is noteworthy.

4611
02:41:49,880 --> 02:41:52,020
That's why it's an afterthought of the noteworthy,

4612
02:41:52,060 --> 02:41:54,340
because I have a commentary about this clip.

4613
02:41:54,400 --> 02:41:56,880
This is about a podcast coming out.

4614
02:41:56,920 --> 02:41:58,620
That's going to spend an hour or two

4615
02:41:58,620 --> 02:41:59,820
talking about Bucky's.

4616
02:41:59,820 --> 02:42:00,420
All right.

4617
02:42:00,580 --> 02:42:02,060
All town in Southern Colorado.

4618
02:42:02,720 --> 02:42:05,440
There's a proposal to build a Bucky's, a

4619
02:42:05,440 --> 02:42:09,060
massive convenience store slash gas station known for

4620
02:42:09,060 --> 02:42:11,740
its beaver mascot and endless gas pumps.

4621
02:42:12,300 --> 02:42:15,860
The proposal has divided neighbors and cost officials

4622
02:42:15,860 --> 02:42:16,720
their jobs.

4623
02:42:16,960 --> 02:42:21,540
It's just all this wild human nature that

4624
02:42:21,540 --> 02:42:27,620
is erupted over a gas station and beaver

4625
02:42:27,620 --> 02:42:28,240
nuggets.

4626
02:42:28,240 --> 02:42:30,380
Why don't you just sit there and shut

4627
02:42:30,380 --> 02:42:32,180
your mouth and listen to what you say?

4628
02:42:35,040 --> 02:42:37,760
I'm Ben to Brooklyn on this episode of

4629
02:42:37,760 --> 02:42:39,480
Purplish from CPR News.

4630
02:42:40,120 --> 02:42:43,460
How plans for a Bucky's travel plaza sparked

4631
02:42:43,460 --> 02:42:45,360
a larger than life controversy.

4632
02:42:45,920 --> 02:42:48,500
Hit the button below now to start listening.

4633
02:42:48,940 --> 02:42:50,740
OK, you're noteworthy.

4634
02:42:50,880 --> 02:42:52,820
Mimi, of course, is running for office in

4635
02:42:52,820 --> 02:42:54,800
the Port Angeles area and runs into this

4636
02:42:54,800 --> 02:42:57,280
all the time, which is that the council

4637
02:42:57,280 --> 02:43:00,660
and the county commissioners and everybody in between,

4638
02:43:00,720 --> 02:43:02,500
you can present them with petitions.

4639
02:43:02,940 --> 02:43:05,260
You can have the places packed with people

4640
02:43:05,260 --> 02:43:06,500
that tell them to do this and that.

4641
02:43:06,560 --> 02:43:08,500
You see it in school boards.

4642
02:43:08,900 --> 02:43:10,480
You see it on YouTube videos.

4643
02:43:10,840 --> 02:43:12,520
And they refuse to act.

4644
02:43:12,740 --> 02:43:15,800
These local officials, for some reason, over the

4645
02:43:15,800 --> 02:43:18,620
last few decades, have not become responsive.

4646
02:43:18,680 --> 02:43:22,240
They've become unresponsive to the local communities.

4647
02:43:22,380 --> 02:43:24,280
And this Bucky's story, I'm sure, is exactly

4648
02:43:24,280 --> 02:43:24,720
the same.

4649
02:43:24,720 --> 02:43:26,640
This is completely out of control.

4650
02:43:26,840 --> 02:43:29,580
They've gotten something into their heads where they

4651
02:43:29,580 --> 02:43:31,720
don't have to listen to the public anymore.

4652
02:43:32,160 --> 02:43:33,300
Well, why would they?

4653
02:43:33,700 --> 02:43:35,720
That's why me, me, me, me, me, me,

4654
02:43:35,920 --> 02:43:38,920
me, me, me, me, for city council.

4655
02:43:39,180 --> 02:43:40,380
Thank you, Digitup.

4656
02:43:40,500 --> 02:43:42,760
The troll room is on the ball.

4657
02:43:43,540 --> 02:43:47,600
Headline, Harvard hires drag queen as visiting professor

4658
02:43:47,600 --> 02:43:49,920
in gender and sexuality studies.

4659
02:43:49,920 --> 02:43:54,680
New courses include Rue Politics, Drag Race and

4660
02:43:54,680 --> 02:43:57,040
Desire, and Queer Ethnography.

4661
02:43:57,920 --> 02:43:59,460
The name of the drag queen?

4662
02:43:59,860 --> 02:44:00,220
You ready?

4663
02:44:02,360 --> 02:44:03,640
Lahore Vajistan.

4664
02:44:07,110 --> 02:44:08,010
Yeah, a pun.

4665
02:44:08,790 --> 02:44:11,150
I'm gonna show my soul by donating to

4666
02:44:11,150 --> 02:44:11,770
No Agenda.

4667
02:44:11,930 --> 02:44:13,830
Imagine all the people who could do that.

4668
02:44:14,030 --> 02:44:15,050
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

4669
02:44:15,910 --> 02:44:21,750
Yeah, on No Agenda, in the morning.

4670
02:44:21,750 --> 02:44:23,390
We've got some pretty good meet-up reports

4671
02:44:23,390 --> 02:44:23,730
coming.

4672
02:44:24,090 --> 02:44:25,390
The one from Indiana.

4673
02:44:25,530 --> 02:44:27,730
Always fun to hear the ones that Damon

4674
02:44:27,730 --> 02:44:29,450
Miller puts together for us.

4675
02:44:29,530 --> 02:44:30,310
John's tip of the day.

4676
02:44:30,390 --> 02:44:31,670
We got end-of-show mixes.

4677
02:44:31,870 --> 02:44:33,230
And right now, we will thank the rest

4678
02:44:33,230 --> 02:44:35,710
of our Value for Value supporters.

4679
02:44:35,910 --> 02:44:36,210
$50 for love.

4680
02:44:36,210 --> 02:44:38,610
Very short list because, yeah, very short list.

4681
02:44:38,690 --> 02:44:40,870
Only 24 people total donated today.

4682
02:44:41,410 --> 02:44:41,710
Wow.

4683
02:44:41,850 --> 02:44:45,170
Starting with John Robinet, $100, and Steve Brown,

4684
02:44:45,250 --> 02:44:48,610
$100, and then Matthew Gill in Raleigh, North

4685
02:44:48,610 --> 02:44:54,170
Carolina, $83.38. Kevin McLaughlin's already up at

4686
02:44:54,170 --> 02:44:56,090
the top there at $8,008.

4687
02:44:56,610 --> 02:44:58,750
He's the Arstuka Luna lover of America lover

4688
02:44:58,750 --> 02:44:59,430
of melons.

4689
02:45:01,010 --> 02:45:04,290
Darius Walker in Charleston, West Virginia, $74.14.

4690
02:45:04,630 --> 02:45:07,710
Les Tarkowski in Kingman, Arizona, $6,006.

4691
02:45:07,770 --> 02:45:13,710
Steve Banstra, $59.93. I'm not sure there's

4692
02:45:13,710 --> 02:45:14,610
some meaning to that.

4693
02:45:14,990 --> 02:45:19,130
Then we have Elizabeth Barish, I think, for

4694
02:45:19,130 --> 02:45:19,510
her husband.

4695
02:45:19,510 --> 02:45:22,150
This is a switcheroo for Jeff Barish, who

4696
02:45:22,150 --> 02:45:26,250
is going to be turning some age, I

4697
02:45:26,250 --> 02:45:26,510
think.

4698
02:45:26,710 --> 02:45:27,830
Of course, he's on the birthday list.

4699
02:45:27,970 --> 02:45:29,010
His birthday's on Saturday.

4700
02:45:31,450 --> 02:45:34,550
So there you go, $55.55. Probably $55.

4701
02:45:34,870 --> 02:45:35,590
That's my guess.

4702
02:45:36,430 --> 02:45:37,330
He's turning $55.

4703
02:45:37,670 --> 02:45:41,850
Brian Furley, $55.10. Sir Selverin in Silver

4704
02:45:41,850 --> 02:45:45,810
Spring, Maryland, $52.72. You know, I always

4705
02:45:45,810 --> 02:45:47,090
thought it was Silver Springs.

4706
02:45:47,710 --> 02:45:49,090
I always thought that, too.

4707
02:45:49,290 --> 02:45:50,230
Silver Springs, Maryland.

4708
02:45:50,470 --> 02:45:51,270
I've always said that.

4709
02:45:51,290 --> 02:45:52,890
But it always comes through as Silver Spring.

4710
02:45:53,270 --> 02:45:54,330
Maybe it's wrong.

4711
02:45:55,390 --> 02:45:55,910
Maybe it's wrong.

4712
02:45:56,070 --> 02:45:56,190
I don't know.

4713
02:45:56,530 --> 02:45:56,870
Wrong.

4714
02:45:57,170 --> 02:46:00,210
James Sheremetta, Nappanoag, New York, $50.

4715
02:46:00,290 --> 02:46:01,910
And these are all 50s, the last few.

4716
02:46:02,290 --> 02:46:03,670
And very few, I would say.

4717
02:46:04,390 --> 02:46:06,350
Chris Conacher in Anchorage, Alaska.

4718
02:46:06,570 --> 02:46:07,950
Alex Zavala in Kyle.

4719
02:46:08,390 --> 02:46:09,150
Kyle or Kyle?

4720
02:46:09,150 --> 02:46:10,170
The Nick You Dead.

4721
02:46:10,370 --> 02:46:10,910
The Nick Kyle.

4722
02:46:11,470 --> 02:46:12,250
The Nick You Dead.

4723
02:46:12,530 --> 02:46:13,450
Alex or Alex.

4724
02:46:16,250 --> 02:46:19,210
Kerry Jackson in Waterton, Tennessee.

4725
02:46:19,730 --> 02:46:23,490
Walker Phillips in San Rafael, California.

4726
02:46:24,310 --> 02:46:27,370
And last on a very, very, very, very,

4727
02:46:27,430 --> 02:46:28,550
very, very short list.

4728
02:46:28,550 --> 02:46:29,890
How short is it?

4729
02:46:30,410 --> 02:46:30,750
Very.

4730
02:46:32,510 --> 02:46:36,390
Troy Funderburke in Missoula, Montana.

4731
02:46:38,970 --> 02:46:40,530
I want to thank these folks for show

4732
02:46:40,530 --> 02:46:43,670
1805, which is a good show.

4733
02:46:43,670 --> 02:46:45,670
Yeah, I think we had fun.

4734
02:46:45,950 --> 02:46:47,370
And we delivered some value.

4735
02:46:47,530 --> 02:46:49,990
If you'd like to return it, time, talent,

4736
02:46:50,050 --> 02:46:52,170
or treasure, go to noagendasdonations.com.

4737
02:46:52,230 --> 02:46:53,190
We also have a P.O. box.

4738
02:46:53,270 --> 02:46:54,070
Oh, thank you, by the way.

4739
02:46:54,170 --> 02:46:56,310
Natalie Taylor, I got your salad dressing.

4740
02:46:56,670 --> 02:46:57,750
Did you get your salad dressing?

4741
02:46:58,870 --> 02:46:59,850
Yes, I did.

4742
02:47:00,010 --> 02:47:01,670
Have you tried said salad dressing?

4743
02:47:01,950 --> 02:47:02,730
Yes, I did.

4744
02:47:02,870 --> 02:47:03,550
What did you think?

4745
02:47:04,510 --> 02:47:08,190
Well, I think that it's a well-designed

4746
02:47:08,190 --> 02:47:11,110
salad dressing, except at least for my taste.

4747
02:47:11,430 --> 02:47:13,030
It's extremely salty.

4748
02:47:13,670 --> 02:47:14,650
I thought so, too.

4749
02:47:14,730 --> 02:47:16,570
Tina wouldn't use it, wouldn't try it.

4750
02:47:16,670 --> 02:47:18,030
It has seed oils in it.

4751
02:47:18,110 --> 02:47:19,130
She looked at the back right away.

4752
02:47:19,190 --> 02:47:19,890
What's seed oils?

4753
02:47:19,950 --> 02:47:21,210
I'm not going to try this.

4754
02:47:23,070 --> 02:47:24,310
Something to be said for that.

4755
02:47:24,890 --> 02:47:26,030
But we appreciate it, Natalie.

4756
02:47:26,170 --> 02:47:26,710
Thank you very much.

4757
02:47:26,830 --> 02:47:28,050
Much to be said, but okay.

4758
02:47:28,310 --> 02:47:29,650
Seed oils will kill you, man.

4759
02:47:30,050 --> 02:47:30,890
Seed oils!

4760
02:47:31,330 --> 02:47:32,250
There you go.

Thanks to our executive and associate executive producer.

And again, go to noagendadonations.com to help.

4767
02:47:52,510 --> 02:47:55,750
Here she is, Elizabeth Barrett, wishing her smoking

4768
02:47:55,750 --> 02:47:57,990
hot husband, Jeff, a very happy birthday.

4769
02:47:58,030 --> 02:47:59,190
He celebrated yesterday.

4770
02:47:59,370 --> 02:48:01,090
I guess we turned 55, didn't we?

4771
02:48:01,450 --> 02:48:03,930
And Kevin McKenna, happy birthday to his daughter,

4772
02:48:04,090 --> 02:48:04,430
Aniston.

4773
02:48:04,650 --> 02:48:06,650
She turns nine years old.

4774
02:48:06,750 --> 02:48:07,850
Happy birthday, Aniston.

4775
02:48:07,850 --> 02:48:10,090
From everybody here at the best podcast in

4776
02:48:10,090 --> 02:48:10,990

4777
02:48:21,170 --> 02:48:23,330
And there he is, one of our top

4778
02:48:23,330 --> 02:48:26,050
executive producers for today, Sir David Killian.

4779
02:48:26,310 --> 02:48:28,970
He comes in as Baron David Killian of

4780
02:48:28,970 --> 02:48:30,030
the Illinois Prairie.

4781
02:48:30,150 --> 02:48:33,670
Thanks to his exceptional amount of donations, four

4782
02:48:33,670 --> 02:48:34,310
times night.

4783
02:48:34,390 --> 02:48:34,850
There you go.

4784
02:48:35,330 --> 02:48:36,270
We appreciate it.

4785
02:48:36,270 --> 02:48:38,370
You are now officially on the Peerage map.

4786
02:48:38,450 --> 02:48:41,610
And now we do have, uh, one secretary

4787
02:48:41,610 --> 02:48:42,090
general.

4788
02:48:42,430 --> 02:48:45,390
All hail to the secretary generals.

4789
02:48:46,050 --> 02:48:49,410
Cause they are the ones to be hailing.

4790
02:48:49,830 --> 02:48:53,090
All hail to the secretary generals.

4791
02:48:53,710 --> 02:48:56,370
On the No Agenda Show.

4792
02:48:57,150 --> 02:48:58,550
I really wish we could get a redo

4793
02:48:58,550 --> 02:48:59,130
of that jingle.

4794
02:48:59,270 --> 02:49:00,670
People kept telling me it's wrong.

4795
02:49:00,730 --> 02:49:02,570
I know, it should be secretaries general.

4796
02:49:02,770 --> 02:49:03,230
I know.

4797
02:49:03,410 --> 02:49:05,670
Hey, John Bigelow, thanks for your support today.

4798
02:49:06,430 --> 02:49:10,130
You become a secretary general, my friend.

4799
02:49:10,330 --> 02:49:11,930
And you gave us the name.

4800
02:49:12,990 --> 02:49:15,030
The name was...

4801
02:49:15,030 --> 02:49:15,730
Let me see.

4802
02:49:17,170 --> 02:49:18,630
Secretary gen- I'm sorry.

4803
02:49:19,110 --> 02:49:20,090
Not John Bigelow.

4804
02:49:20,490 --> 02:49:21,350
My mistake.

4805
02:49:22,350 --> 02:49:23,250
You named the wrong guy?

4806
02:49:23,290 --> 02:49:24,190
I named the wrong guy.

4807
02:49:24,310 --> 02:49:24,730
I'm sorry.

4808
02:49:24,850 --> 02:49:27,810
The wrong- It's, uh, Matthew Lomar.

4809
02:49:27,930 --> 02:49:28,590
That's who I meant.

4810
02:49:28,750 --> 02:49:29,450
I'm a little confused.

4811
02:49:29,450 --> 02:49:29,930
It's Bigelow.

4812
02:49:30,290 --> 02:49:32,310
Yeah, a little confused in the control room.

4813
02:49:33,490 --> 02:49:35,370
Matthew Lomar, congratulations.

4814
02:49:35,370 --> 02:49:37,990
You shall now firmly be known as secretary

4815
02:49:37,990 --> 02:49:40,770
general of Water Well Drillers.

4816
02:49:41,270 --> 02:49:44,010
Yes, all hail to the secretary general.

4817
02:49:44,310 --> 02:49:47,410
All hail to the secretary generals.

4818
02:49:47,970 --> 02:49:51,130
Cause they are the ones to be hailing.

4819
02:49:51,730 --> 02:49:54,950
All hail to the secretary generals.

4820
02:49:55,430 --> 02:49:58,310
On the No Agenda Show.

4821
02:49:58,910 --> 02:50:00,790
There, now we got Bigelow.

4822
02:50:00,870 --> 02:50:02,270
Bigelow becomes a knight today.

4823
02:50:02,270 --> 02:50:04,130
So get out your blade for, uh, John

4824
02:50:04,130 --> 02:50:05,770
Bigelow, if you wouldn't mind, please.

4825
02:50:05,990 --> 02:50:06,470
Got it.

4826
02:50:07,090 --> 02:50:07,890
Very nice.

4827
02:50:08,010 --> 02:50:09,590
Oh, that's a sharp one, too.

4828
02:50:10,190 --> 02:50:12,330
Hey, John Bigelow, pop up on the podium

4829
02:50:12,330 --> 02:50:12,630
here.

4830
02:50:12,770 --> 02:50:14,790
You, sir, are about to become knighted.

4831
02:50:14,870 --> 02:50:16,130
You will be a knight of the No

4833
02:50:17,430 --> 02:50:19,250

4835

02:50:25,990 --> 02:50:27,750
For you, we've got hookers and blow, rent

4838
02:50:27,750 --> 02:50:28,730
boys and chardonnay.

4839

We got a ribeye and mullbeck.

4840
02:50:30,410 --> 02:50:31,470
That's what you really wanted.

4841
02:50:31,470 --> 02:50:33,930
Along with that, harlots and howled all redheads

4842
02:50:33,930 --> 02:50:35,350

And as always, we've got the mutton and

02:50:48,050 --> 02:50:49,110
the meat here for you.

4849
02:50:49,470 --> 02:50:50,270
Congratulations, sir.

4850
02:50:50,350 --> 02:50:51,950
You go to no agenda rings dot com.

4851
02:50:52,370 --> 02:50:54,230
The same, of course, goes for our secretary

4852
02:50:54,230 --> 02:50:57,370
general, Sir David, Matthew Lomar.

4853
02:50:57,890 --> 02:50:59,750

information.

4856
02:51:01,930 --> 02:51:05,330
And for the rings, it's a beautiful signet

4857
02:51:05,330 --> 02:51:07,190
ring, so it gives you some wax to

4858
02:51:07,190 --> 02:51:09,710
seal your important correspondence with a certificate of

4859
02:51:09,710 --> 02:51:10,130
authenticity.

4860
02:51:10,670 --> 02:51:12,010
Just give us the place where we want

4861
02:51:12,010 --> 02:51:13,550
to send it to and your ring size.

4862
02:51:13,670 --> 02:51:15,790
There's a ring sizing guide on the website.

4863
02:51:16,230 --> 02:51:18,670
And welcome to the roundtable, Sir John of

4864
02:51:18,670 --> 02:51:19,490
the Techni Basin.

4865
02:51:20,050 --> 02:51:23,690
No agenda meetups.

4866
02:51:25,550 --> 02:51:28,730
Well, we had a couple of parties going

4867
02:51:28,730 --> 02:51:30,410
on in the past couple of days.

4868
02:51:30,550 --> 02:51:31,550
We have a meetup report.

4869
02:51:31,670 --> 02:51:33,730
Leo Bravo out there in Los Angeles.

4870
02:51:34,150 --> 02:51:35,310
They just they never quit.

4871
02:51:35,430 --> 02:51:37,610
The Los Angelinos, they just stay there, keep

4872
02:51:37,610 --> 02:51:37,910
meeting.

4873
02:51:38,050 --> 02:51:40,250
This is flight number 67 of the no

4874
02:51:40,250 --> 02:51:40,590
agenda.

4875
02:51:40,970 --> 02:51:43,510
Yo, yo, yo, it's Leo Bravo at meetup

4876
02:51:43,510 --> 02:51:44,430
number 67.

4877
02:51:44,850 --> 02:51:46,830
The crew has things to say.

4878
02:51:47,190 --> 02:51:48,390
This is Myra from Mocholo.

4879
02:51:48,390 --> 02:51:51,310
Come join us anytime after 11 a.m.

4880
02:51:51,690 --> 02:51:54,850
This is Eric reporting from downtown Los Angeles,

4881
02:51:54,970 --> 02:51:57,830
where there's nothing happening on the streets except

4882
02:51:57,830 --> 02:51:59,870
for Comic-Con going on across the street.

4883
02:51:59,950 --> 02:52:02,430
And we're here all dressed as furries, pawing

4884
02:52:02,430 --> 02:52:04,850
our Mexican food in the morning.

4885
02:52:05,070 --> 02:52:07,410
Oh, OK.

4886
02:52:07,950 --> 02:52:09,230
Now we go to Indiana.

4887
02:52:09,530 --> 02:52:11,750
Damon always puts together a great meetup report

4888
02:52:11,750 --> 02:52:13,490
because there's always a lot of people at

4889
02:52:13,490 --> 02:52:14,350
the indie meetups.

4890
02:52:14,390 --> 02:52:16,450
This is day Maria and Sir Mark.

4891
02:52:16,450 --> 02:52:18,110
We are so happy to be back in

4892
02:52:18,110 --> 02:52:19,550
Indiana with our family here.

4893
02:52:19,590 --> 02:52:20,250
It's amazing.

4894
02:52:21,550 --> 02:52:23,150
In the morning, this is Sir Rupert of

4895
02:52:23,150 --> 02:52:25,250
the Maple, and today was a hot meetup

4896
02:52:25,250 --> 02:52:26,250
due to climate change.

4897
02:52:26,430 --> 02:52:26,830
Gary here.

4898
02:52:27,030 --> 02:52:28,190
Sorry I've been gone for the last few

4899
02:52:28,190 --> 02:52:30,830
months, but my reprogramming for Spook has taken

4900
02:52:30,830 --> 02:52:31,850
a little longer than I thought.

4901
02:52:31,930 --> 02:52:32,510
Hey, this is Emily.

4902
02:52:32,610 --> 02:52:34,170
And if we keep saying four more years,

4903
02:52:34,290 --> 02:52:36,410
we essentially have y'all at least seven

4904
02:52:36,410 --> 02:52:38,130
months into the next administration.

4905
02:52:38,390 --> 02:52:39,710
So four more years.

4906
02:52:39,850 --> 02:52:41,930
Bruce here just drinking some beers with Emily

4907
02:52:41,930 --> 02:52:42,550

4908
02:52:42,710 --> 02:52:43,730
Nader from Indianapolis.

4909
02:52:43,950 --> 02:52:45,370
I'm here, should not have ate that whole

4910
02:52:45,370 --> 02:52:47,130
pizza, but it's still good to see Mark

4911
02:52:47,130 --> 02:52:47,470
and Maria.

4912
02:52:47,670 --> 02:52:49,030
In the morning, this is Matt.

4913
02:52:49,170 --> 02:52:51,570
Finally driven in from the wilds of Southeast

4914
02:52:51,570 --> 02:52:52,010
Indiana.

4915
02:52:52,230 --> 02:52:53,790
Only Mark and Maria could bring me back

4916
02:52:53,790 --> 02:52:55,650
from my ranch out in the woods.

4917
02:52:55,830 --> 02:52:57,770
Dame Trinity having a great time in Indy.

4918
02:52:57,930 --> 02:52:59,450
It is great to see Mark and Maria

4919
02:52:59,450 --> 02:53:00,330
back in the States.

4920
02:53:00,490 --> 02:53:01,650
In the morning, John and Adam.

4921
02:53:01,810 --> 02:53:03,890
Sir PBR Street Gang here from Fort Wayne.

4922
02:53:04,030 --> 02:53:06,170
Loving to see Mark and Maria back again.

4923
02:53:06,410 --> 02:53:08,030
This is Ted from Batesville, part of the

4924
02:53:08,030 --> 02:53:08,710
Walking Wounded.

4925
02:53:08,990 --> 02:53:10,810
Glad to see Mark and Maria back here.

4926
02:53:10,950 --> 02:53:12,250
This is Chris from Indianapolis.

4927
02:53:12,530 --> 02:53:12,910
Newbie.

4928
02:53:13,210 --> 02:53:14,150
Just came for the free wine.

4929
02:53:14,630 --> 02:53:15,710
There's free wine?

4930
02:53:15,950 --> 02:53:17,510
Oh, this is David, and I'm from Illinois.

4931
02:53:17,810 --> 02:53:18,990
My first meetup in Indy.

4932
02:53:19,150 --> 02:53:19,850
Glad to be here.

4933
02:53:20,010 --> 02:53:20,570
In the morning.

4934
02:53:20,670 --> 02:53:22,770
In the morning, Dame Swanee.

4935
02:53:22,990 --> 02:53:25,230
I'm next to Sir David, who just won

4936
02:53:25,230 --> 02:53:25,850
the raffle.

4937
02:53:26,230 --> 02:53:26,850
I didn't.

4938
02:53:27,070 --> 02:53:28,850
Sir Vinny here, and I'm sitting next to

4939
02:53:28,850 --> 02:53:31,750
the most fabulous Dame Swanee I could ever

4940
02:53:31,750 --> 02:53:32,350
imagine.

4941
02:53:32,610 --> 02:53:33,510
In the morning, John and Adam.

4942
02:53:33,570 --> 02:53:34,070
This is Nick.

4943
02:53:34,370 --> 02:53:35,670
There's a lot of pressure for me to

4944
02:53:35,670 --> 02:53:36,930
be funny, so I'm just going to say

4945
02:53:36,930 --> 02:53:38,050
Cash Patel's eyeballs.

4946
02:53:38,390 --> 02:53:40,190
Hey, this is Brady at the Blind Owl,

4947
02:53:40,350 --> 02:53:42,350
playing crowd control over these crazy folks.

4948
02:53:42,350 --> 02:53:43,790
Maybe some of you guys can get your

4949
02:53:43,790 --> 02:53:45,470
servers to partake a little bit.

4950
02:53:45,530 --> 02:53:46,730
In the morning.

4951
02:53:47,190 --> 02:53:48,890
See you in Valhalla.

4952
02:53:50,710 --> 02:53:51,790
Okay, wonderful.

4953
02:53:51,950 --> 02:53:53,670
Hey, there's a meetup taking place on Thursday.

4954
02:53:54,130 --> 02:53:56,570
It is the Dakota Tavern in Parker, Colorado

4955
02:53:56,570 --> 02:53:57,710
on the 9th.

4956
02:53:57,730 --> 02:53:58,290
That's Thursday.

4957
02:53:58,430 --> 02:54:00,350
Thirsty Thursday at Dakota Tavern.

4958
02:54:00,590 --> 02:54:03,470

there.

4966
02:54:16,470 --> 02:54:19,470

4968
02:54:20,070 --> 02:54:21,190

This has to be some kind of illegal

4980
02:54:42,670 --> 02:54:43,330
move.

4981
02:54:44,030 --> 02:54:45,530
They're going to do a meetup and talk

4982
02:54:45,530 --> 02:54:46,190
about things.

on the book Santa Rosa, California.

4991
02:54:59,290 --> 02:55:00,430
Those are just a few of the No

4992
02:55:00,430 --> 02:55:02,590
Agenda meetups which you can find at noagendameetups

4993
02:55:02,590 --> 02:55:03,110
.com.

4994
02:55:03,370 --> 02:55:06,990
Go there because you will love these meetups.

4995
02:55:07,410 --> 02:55:08,310
Connection is protection.

4996
02:55:08,430 --> 02:55:09,210
You get it at the meetup.

4997
02:55:09,210 --> 02:55:11,110
The people who will be your first responders

4998
02:55:11,110 --> 02:55:11,910
in an emergency.

4999
02:55:12,190 --> 02:55:14,310
noagendameetups.com If you can't find one near

5000
02:55:14,310 --> 02:55:15,730
you, start one yourself.

5001
02:55:15,730 --> 02:55:18,590
Sometimes you want to go hang out with

5002
02:55:18,590 --> 02:55:21,270
all the nights and days.

5003
02:55:22,190 --> 02:55:24,930
You want to be where you won't be

5004
02:55:24,930 --> 02:55:27,010
triggered or held to blame.

5005
02:55:27,690 --> 02:55:30,790
You want to be where everybody feels the

5006
02:55:30,790 --> 02:55:31,110
same.

5007
02:55:33,110 --> 02:55:34,770
It's like a party.

5008
02:55:35,270 --> 02:55:36,530
Always like a party.

5009
02:55:37,150 --> 02:55:39,030
Guaranteed to delight.

5010
02:55:39,210 --> 02:55:41,290
Time for our ISO off.

5011
02:55:41,670 --> 02:55:43,930
ISO off, ISO off, ISO off, ISO off.

5012
02:55:44,230 --> 02:55:45,850
We both have two, I see.

5013
02:55:45,990 --> 02:55:47,550
Except one of yours is named Oso.

5014
02:55:50,690 --> 02:55:53,230
Your spelling mistakes are getting better with the

5015
02:55:53,230 --> 02:55:53,570
years.

5016
02:55:54,210 --> 02:55:55,010
They're funnier.

5017
02:55:55,350 --> 02:55:57,630
I actually thought that was a different podcast

5018
02:55:57,630 --> 02:55:58,290
clip you had.

5019
02:55:58,430 --> 02:55:58,950
Like Oso.

5020
02:55:59,170 --> 02:55:59,950
Oh, it's an ISO.

5021
02:56:00,190 --> 02:56:00,530
I see.

5022
02:56:00,610 --> 02:56:01,210
It's really short.

5023
02:56:01,310 --> 02:56:01,630
I got it.

5024
02:56:01,650 --> 02:56:02,470
Okay, I'll play mine.

5025
02:56:02,530 --> 02:56:03,210
Then we'll play yours.

5026
02:56:03,270 --> 02:56:04,490
See which one we choose for the end

5027
02:56:04,490 --> 02:56:04,890
of the show.

5028
02:56:04,950 --> 02:56:05,790
Here's my first.

5029
02:56:07,030 --> 02:56:07,830
Utterly breathtaking.

5030
02:56:08,750 --> 02:56:11,430
Non-AI and utterly breathtaking.

5031
02:56:11,670 --> 02:56:12,270
Or this one.

5032
02:56:12,430 --> 02:56:13,730
This is a big one.

5033
02:56:14,330 --> 02:56:14,730
All right.

5034
02:56:15,650 --> 02:56:16,390
What do you have?

5035
02:56:19,350 --> 02:56:20,590
Those are tough.

5036
02:56:20,770 --> 02:56:21,690
Yeah, thank you.

5037
02:56:21,770 --> 02:56:22,610
Well, I have a way.

5038
02:56:22,750 --> 02:56:23,490
I don't do AI.

5039
02:56:23,710 --> 02:56:25,170
I've got ISO hosts.

5040
02:56:25,530 --> 02:56:26,910
This show gets better with age.

5041
02:56:27,150 --> 02:56:28,030
Like the hosts.

5042
02:56:29,590 --> 02:56:30,950
Not AI at all.

5043
02:56:31,090 --> 02:56:32,390
Gee, you fooled me, John.

5044
02:56:34,570 --> 02:56:37,070
Yeah, the show gets better with age like

5045
02:56:37,070 --> 02:56:37,650
the hosts.

5046
02:56:37,830 --> 02:56:40,170
This show gets better with age like the

5047
02:56:40,170 --> 02:56:40,570
hosts.

5048
02:56:41,210 --> 02:56:42,650
Okay, speak for yourself.

5049
02:56:45,970 --> 02:56:46,970
And there's the one.

5050
02:56:47,070 --> 02:56:47,710
Best podcast.

5051
02:56:48,010 --> 02:56:49,030
Best podcast.

5052
02:56:50,050 --> 02:56:51,330
I can go with this one.

5053
02:56:51,330 --> 02:56:53,190
This show gets better with age like the

5054
02:56:53,190 --> 02:56:53,490
hosts.

5055
02:56:53,590 --> 02:56:54,550
I can go with that one.

5056
02:56:54,810 --> 02:56:55,510
Yeah, of course you can.

5057
02:56:55,690 --> 02:56:55,890
That's cute.

5058
02:56:56,010 --> 02:56:56,610
Of course I can.

5059
02:56:56,670 --> 02:56:57,310
Hey, everybody.

5060
02:56:57,370 --> 02:56:58,430
Here it is.

5061
02:56:58,470 --> 02:57:00,090
It's John's tip of the day.

5062
02:57:10,610 --> 02:57:13,570
I do this about six of these a

5063
02:57:13,570 --> 02:57:14,930
year, and this is a wine tip.

5064
02:57:15,170 --> 02:57:16,230
Oh, good.

5065
02:57:16,530 --> 02:57:17,930
We love a John C.

5066
02:57:18,110 --> 02:57:18,850
Dvorak wine.

5067
02:57:19,010 --> 02:57:20,450
It's a cheap wine that I have it

5068
02:57:20,450 --> 02:57:21,250
every so often.

5069
02:57:21,250 --> 02:57:22,610
And every time I have it, I say,

5070
02:57:22,750 --> 02:57:24,590
why don't I plug this wine?

5071
02:57:25,370 --> 02:57:28,010
It's interesting because I'll give you a little

5072
02:57:28,010 --> 02:57:31,030
backstory about some of these cheap California wines

5073
02:57:31,590 --> 02:57:34,430
that are done by Gallo.

5074
02:57:34,950 --> 02:57:37,590
And they bring out this fabulous wine that

5075
02:57:37,590 --> 02:57:39,150
the turning leaf was a good example.

5076
02:57:39,250 --> 02:57:41,310
If you can remember back that far, came

5077
02:57:41,310 --> 02:57:42,530
out as a Cabernet.

5078
02:57:42,690 --> 02:57:44,650
It was like 10 bucks, nine bucks.

5079
02:57:45,050 --> 02:57:46,690
Tastes like a $50 wine.

5080
02:57:47,350 --> 02:57:49,950
And then the next year tastes kind of

5081
02:57:49,950 --> 02:57:51,110
like a $20 wine.

5082
02:57:51,190 --> 02:57:52,810
And then the next year tastes like a

5083
02:57:52,810 --> 02:57:53,650
$5 wine.

5084
02:57:53,670 --> 02:57:56,270
And then they fold it, but they made

5085
02:57:56,270 --> 02:57:57,130
lots of money.

5086
02:57:57,330 --> 02:57:57,950
I bet they did.

5087
02:57:58,570 --> 02:57:59,870
So this is different.

5088
02:58:00,110 --> 02:58:02,210
These guys have yet to have dropped the

5089
02:58:02,210 --> 02:58:03,330
quality of this product.

5090
02:58:04,010 --> 02:58:06,170
This is a screwball wine that I think

5091
02:58:06,170 --> 02:58:06,950
came out of that.

5092
02:58:06,950 --> 02:58:08,810
This came out of a bunch of purchases.

5093
02:58:09,810 --> 02:58:12,550
I actually have a bottle here that Robert

5094
02:58:12,550 --> 02:58:14,350
Mondavi did before he died.

5095
02:58:14,830 --> 02:58:15,470
Oh, Robert.

5096
02:58:16,390 --> 02:58:17,350
Robert Mondavi.

5097
02:58:17,570 --> 02:58:19,290
This is a Robert Mondavi wine.

5098
02:58:19,410 --> 02:58:21,690
And he bought a bunch of California wineries

5099
02:58:21,690 --> 02:58:25,290
all over the place to use as estate

5100
02:58:25,290 --> 02:58:25,770
taxes.

5101
02:58:25,770 --> 02:58:27,190
So he could just dump the wineries and

5102
02:58:27,190 --> 02:58:28,790
the kids would still have the main winery.

5103
02:58:29,410 --> 02:58:32,250
But it turned out that the president changes

5104
02:58:32,250 --> 02:58:32,990
whatever happened.

5105
02:58:33,070 --> 02:58:34,950
He ended up with owning these places and

5106
02:58:34,950 --> 02:58:36,190
they changed the names of them.

5107
02:58:36,190 --> 02:58:38,150
And I don't remember which one this was

5108
02:58:38,150 --> 02:58:40,630
specifically, but it's one of the Valley wines

5109
02:58:40,630 --> 02:58:42,170
from San Joaquin Valley, I think.

5110
02:58:42,570 --> 02:58:45,110
But it's sold as Robert Mondavi.

5111
02:58:45,390 --> 02:58:47,130
And I'll tell you what it says on

5112
02:58:47,130 --> 02:58:47,570
the label.

5113
02:58:47,930 --> 02:58:49,310
And it's like nine bucks.

5114
02:58:49,930 --> 02:58:52,130
Maybe up to 12 some places.

5115
02:58:52,590 --> 02:58:54,290
Can I get it at Costco?

5116
02:58:54,970 --> 02:58:57,890
Costco will have it, but all kinds of

5117
02:58:57,890 --> 02:58:58,570
places have it.

5118
02:58:58,630 --> 02:59:00,230
They make a ton of it.

5119
02:59:01,190 --> 02:59:03,930
And it's a black label wine called Robert

5120
02:59:03,930 --> 02:59:06,110
Mondavi Private Selection.

5121
02:59:06,190 --> 02:59:08,610
Which is always a giveaway for what?

5122
02:59:08,870 --> 02:59:10,170
Come on, nine bucks, 10 bucks.

5123
02:59:10,470 --> 02:59:11,690
And it's a black label?

5124
02:59:12,110 --> 02:59:12,610
Isn't it always black?

5125
02:59:12,610 --> 02:59:13,550
It's a black label wine.

5126
02:59:13,690 --> 02:59:14,890
Isn't it always black label?

5127
02:59:15,570 --> 02:59:17,750
No, Robert Mondavi has a tan label.

5128
02:59:18,070 --> 02:59:20,930
Well, this always has a black label because

5129
02:59:20,930 --> 02:59:22,550
it's not really Robert Mondavi.

5130
02:59:22,690 --> 02:59:23,550
It's not an apple wine.

5131
02:59:23,630 --> 02:59:24,470
It's not made there either.

5132
02:59:24,710 --> 02:59:25,850
But it says Robert Mondavi.

5133
02:59:26,410 --> 02:59:27,850
It just says Robert Mondavi.

5134
02:59:28,050 --> 02:59:30,090
Robert Mondavi Private Selection.

5135
02:59:31,430 --> 02:59:34,990
Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon.

5136
02:59:34,990 --> 02:59:36,610
Ooh, that's very popular.

5137
02:59:38,270 --> 02:59:40,530
And this wine for a year, I've been

5138
02:59:40,530 --> 02:59:42,410
drinking this on and off for about five

5139
02:59:42,410 --> 02:59:44,190
years as a kind of just a quick

5140
02:59:44,190 --> 02:59:44,490
wine.

5141
02:59:44,570 --> 02:59:45,910
If you want to have a dinner, a

5142
02:59:45,910 --> 02:59:46,710
hamburger wine.

5143
02:59:47,070 --> 02:59:47,490
After breakfast.

5144
02:59:47,970 --> 02:59:51,190
After breakfast, hamburger wine is good for eggs.

5145
02:59:51,630 --> 02:59:52,690
Hamburger wine.

5146
02:59:53,110 --> 02:59:54,530
It's a total hamburger wine.

5147
02:59:55,210 --> 02:59:57,910
And it is just, it's got, for a

5148
02:59:57,910 --> 02:59:59,430
California wine, it's dark.

5149
02:59:59,630 --> 03:00:01,490
It's got some Cabernet character.

5150
03:00:01,610 --> 03:00:03,610
It's got a lot of oak and it's

5151
03:00:03,610 --> 03:00:04,710
a bourbon style oak.

5152
03:00:04,710 --> 03:00:06,150
If you don't like oak, don't get this

5153
03:00:06,150 --> 03:00:06,410
wine.

5154
03:00:06,470 --> 03:00:08,930
But if you like oaky wines, this is

5155
03:00:08,930 --> 03:00:10,770
a very well-made wine.

5156
03:00:10,970 --> 03:00:12,290
I'm going to see if H-E-B

5157
03:00:12,290 --> 03:00:12,650
has it.

5158
03:00:12,670 --> 03:00:13,970
I'll talk to Matt at H-E-B.

5159
03:00:14,730 --> 03:00:16,430
And I will tell him to push it.

5160
03:00:16,650 --> 03:00:18,770
I'll say, I'll tell him to put like

5161
03:00:18,770 --> 03:00:20,330
one of those, you know.

5162
03:00:20,470 --> 03:00:20,730
A sticker.

5163
03:00:20,950 --> 03:00:22,090
Put a sticker on it.

5164
03:00:22,190 --> 03:00:22,610
John C.

5165
03:00:22,650 --> 03:00:23,990
Dvorak Tip of the Day wine.

5166
03:00:24,110 --> 03:00:25,830
I'm telling you, we should have those.

5167
03:00:25,870 --> 03:00:25,970
John C.

5168
03:00:26,010 --> 03:00:27,210
Dvorak Tip of the Day wine.

5169
03:00:27,270 --> 03:00:27,830
There it is.

5170

Find all of John's tips at tipoftheday.net.

5171
03:00:30,510 --> 03:00:31,490
What a good one.

5172
03:00:38,490 --> 03:00:40,210
And sometimes, Adam.

5173
03:00:40,950 --> 03:00:42,070
Created by Dana Brunetti.

5174
03:00:42,230 --> 03:00:42,590
Wow.

5175
03:00:42,950 --> 03:00:44,410
I always love it when you do a

5176
03:00:44,410 --> 03:00:45,450
good wine tip.

5177
03:00:47,190 --> 03:00:49,030
Especially when they're cheap, which are most of

5178
03:00:49,030 --> 03:00:49,990
your wine tips, actually.

5179
03:00:50,010 --> 03:00:51,450
No, I try to keep them cheap.

5180
03:00:51,650 --> 03:00:54,110
And they have to be readily available, too.

5181
03:00:54,210 --> 03:00:55,390
I mean, you just can't have, you know,

5182
03:00:55,430 --> 03:00:56,430
something up sour.

5183
03:00:56,650 --> 03:00:57,310
I can't wait.

5184
03:00:57,390 --> 03:00:58,350
I'm going to go to H-E-B

5185
03:00:58,350 --> 03:01:00,190
tomorrow and say, hey man, I need that

5186
03:01:00,190 --> 03:01:03,790
Robert Maldow, the private selection black label barrel.

5187
03:01:03,870 --> 03:01:04,610
Bourbon barrel.

5188
03:01:04,610 --> 03:01:05,990
Bourbon barrel age.

5189
03:01:06,090 --> 03:01:06,410
Yes.

5190
03:01:06,730 --> 03:01:06,950
Yeah.

5191
03:01:06,990 --> 03:01:08,610
It's very popular here in Texas.

5192
03:01:08,730 --> 03:01:11,710
The bourbon barrel age, along with Texas heritage

5193
03:01:11,710 --> 03:01:13,310
wine, whatever that means.

5194
03:01:15,510 --> 03:01:16,610
Hey, we're going to end the show.

5195
03:01:16,690 --> 03:01:18,830
Mixes from B-dubs and Jeffrey Crocker.

5196
03:01:20,550 --> 03:01:22,690
And coming up next on the No Agenda

5197
03:01:22,690 --> 03:01:24,970
streams, abs in a six pack.

5198
03:01:25,070 --> 03:01:26,770
It'll be episode number 270.

5199
03:01:26,950 --> 03:01:29,530
We need another live show after our live

5200
03:01:29,530 --> 03:01:29,790
show.

5201
03:01:29,850 --> 03:01:31,070
Where are the live shows, people?

5202
03:01:31,250 --> 03:01:32,310
Give us a live show.

5203
03:01:32,870 --> 03:01:34,170
Coming to you from the heart of the

5204
03:01:34,170 --> 03:01:36,630
Texas Hill Country, soon to be the place

5205
03:01:36,630 --> 03:01:39,230
of another meetup here at J6 or Jenny's

5206
03:01:39,230 --> 03:01:41,310
place, Fredericksburg, Texas.

5207
03:01:41,470 --> 03:01:42,330
In the morning, everybody.

5208
03:01:42,570 --> 03:01:43,270
I'm Adam Curry.

5209
03:01:43,550 --> 03:01:45,730
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain,

5210
03:01:45,890 --> 03:01:46,650
I'm John C.

5211
03:01:46,770 --> 03:01:47,230
Dvorak.

5212
03:01:47,350 --> 03:01:48,690
Meet us here again on Thursday.

5213
03:01:48,850 --> 03:01:50,570
We'll do it all over again for you

5214
03:01:50,570 --> 03:01:52,970
with more media deconstruction.

5215
03:01:53,090 --> 03:01:56,110
Until then, remember us at noagenda donations.com.

5216
03:01:56,410 --> 03:01:57,670
Adios, mofos.

5217
03:01:58,110 --> 03:01:59,010
A hooey hooey.

5218
03:01:59,350 --> 03:02:00,150
And such.

5219
03:02:04,290 --> 03:02:05,330
Good evening, Mari.

5220
03:02:05,430 --> 03:02:07,250
What is the White House saying about the

5221
03:02:07,250 --> 03:02:07,910
government shutdown?

5222
03:02:08,110 --> 03:02:08,770
Tiff, good evening.

5223
03:02:09,090 --> 03:02:11,750
Yes, the White House is blaming Democrats for

5224
03:02:11,750 --> 03:02:14,390
the government shutdown, saying that it impacts active

5225
03:02:14,390 --> 03:02:17,370
duty troops, critical food assistance, and flood insurance

5226
03:02:17,370 --> 03:02:19,210
as we enter hurricane season.

5227
03:02:20,310 --> 03:02:23,970
Republicans thought that they could barrel us into

5228
03:02:23,970 --> 03:02:24,530
a shutdown.

5229
03:02:37,110 --> 03:02:37,990
He's an idiot.

5230
03:02:42,210 --> 03:02:42,770
He's an idiot.

5231
03:02:42,770 --> 03:02:43,390
What is he talking?

5232
03:02:43,510 --> 03:02:44,070
What's a barrel?

5233
03:02:44,450 --> 03:02:46,930
Oh, the Republicans are trying to barrel us.

5234
03:02:46,930 --> 03:02:50,610
They can't barrel us.

5235
03:02:51,110 --> 03:02:53,290
They can't barrel us.

5236
03:02:58,210 --> 03:03:00,750
Ladies and gentlemen, if you take a sixpence,

5237
03:03:01,110 --> 03:03:04,290
which in Deutsch is Fuhrenzwanzig Pfennig, and you

5238
03:03:04,290 --> 03:03:05,210
go on the bus upstairs...

5239
03:03:06,630 --> 03:03:10,790
The omnibuses, the omnibuses we have put on

5240
03:03:10,790 --> 03:03:13,450
the table so far will make a real

5241
03:03:13,450 --> 03:03:14,130
difference.

5242
03:03:17,470 --> 03:03:18,930
Make no mistake.

5243
03:03:18,930 --> 03:03:28,470
For our future, we have to massively boost

5244
03:03:29,030 --> 03:03:30,070
the omnibuses.

5245
03:03:32,150 --> 03:03:35,270
The omnibuses.

5246
03:03:38,670 --> 03:03:41,050
The truth is that the world of today

5247
03:03:41,050 --> 03:03:42,670
is unforgiving.

5248
03:03:43,970 --> 03:03:47,770
And it is for all these reasons companies

5249
03:03:47,770 --> 03:03:55,470
and consumers alike and the omnibuses are on

5250
03:03:55,470 --> 03:03:55,830
their way.

5251
03:03:55,910 --> 03:03:58,790
For example, military mobility or on the digital.

5252
03:04:05,580 --> 03:04:09,060
They can feel the ground shift beneath them.

5253
03:04:13,140 --> 03:04:16,680
We simply cannot wait for this storm to

5254
03:04:16,680 --> 03:04:17,040
pass.

5255
03:04:17,820 --> 03:04:18,560
The omnibuses.

5256
03:04:20,540 --> 03:04:23,640
It is for all these reasons that a

5257
03:04:23,640 --> 03:04:25,480
new Europe must emerge.

5258
03:04:27,040 --> 03:04:27,820
The omnibuses.

5259
03:04:29,320 --> 03:04:31,100
But people will love the slop.

5260
03:04:31,500 --> 03:04:32,760
Oh, this baby loves the slop.

5261
03:04:32,880 --> 03:04:33,840
Loves it, eats it up.

5262
03:04:33,840 --> 03:04:34,800
Hates the slop.

5263
03:04:35,040 --> 03:04:35,680
Born to slop.

5264
03:04:39,600 --> 03:04:41,600
Loves it, eats it up.

5265
03:04:41,660 --> 03:04:42,440
Born to slop.

5266
03:04:43,540 --> 03:04:44,360
Hates the slop.

5267
03:04:45,440 --> 03:04:46,580
There they are, pigs.

5268
03:04:46,640 --> 03:04:47,760
They want more slop.

5269
03:04:49,420 --> 03:04:51,460
Loves it, eats it up.

5270
03:04:52,240 --> 03:04:53,280
Born to slop.

5271
03:04:53,520 --> 03:04:54,180
Hates the slop.

5272
03:04:55,520 --> 03:04:56,980
This baby loves the slop.

5273
03:05:00,580 --> 03:05:01,360
Give me slop.

5274
03:05:01,460 --> 03:05:01,560
Give me slop.

5275
03:05:01,560 --> 03:05:01,920
I love it.

5276
03:05:02,020 --> 03:05:02,620
I'm a pig.

5277
03:05:02,740 --> 03:05:03,540
Give it to me.

5278
03:05:07,080 --> 03:05:08,080
Loves it, eats it up.

5279
03:05:08,900 --> 03:05:09,820
Born to slop.

5280
03:05:10,740 --> 03:05:14,440
Oh, this baby loves the slop.

5281
03:05:15,080 --> 03:05:16,920
We're like pigs.

5282
03:05:17,240 --> 03:05:17,860
We're like pigs.

5283
03:05:18,060 --> 03:05:19,640
Give me slop.

5284
03:05:19,780 --> 03:05:20,340
Give me slop.

5285
03:05:22,660 --> 03:05:23,620
Born to slop.

5286
03:05:23,620 --> 03:05:24,580
Born to slop.

5287
03:05:24,780 --> 03:05:25,480
Hates the slop.

5288
03:05:25,720 --> 03:05:26,460
Hates the slop.

5289
03:05:32,300 --> 03:05:35,920
The best podcast in the universe.

5290
03:05:37,060 --> 03:05:38,420
Adios, mofo.

5291
03:05:38,620 --> 03:05:42,900
Dvorak.org slash N-A This show gets

5292
03:05:42,900 --> 03:05:43,740
better with age.

5293
03:05:44,080 --> 03:05:44,980
Like the hosts.
