1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tell you today today, what could I like

2
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>in this too? My button bar is so amazing today,

3
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 1>My stack is amazing today. And you know, I really

4
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 1>have to do a lot of work for it. But

5
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:19.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay with that. You still got to cobble it together,

6
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.039
<v Speaker 1>refine it, and deliver it. But and I was thinking,

7
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I was remembering back Ross, did you I don't know

8
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>how it worked for your fam? How many kids were

9
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>in your family? Again? We had four in mine? How many?

10
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Me and my two older sisters. But my sister Debbie

11
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 2>was pretty much out of the house most Well, there's

12
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 2>a ten year difference between the.

13
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Two, right, that's right, that's right, Okay, all right, So

14
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 1>we had we had a thing. It was very rare

15
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 1>that it actually worked. So my mom, you know, she

16
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 1>had to take the kids to the grocery store. There

17
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.159
<v Speaker 1>was an incentive promise, and that is, if everyone behaves themselves,

18
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 1>and it was a team effort. So if somebody put

19
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>a jelly donut and their foot locker, we're all doing

20
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 1>push ups. Okay, so but if everybody behaves themselves. And now,

21
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 1>as an adult, I realized this, and my mom had

22
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the money in her budget, which she probably normally didn't,

23
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>but on the very rare occasion that all the pieces

24
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 1>fell into line, my mom had a couple extra dollars.

25
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Everyone absolutely behaved themselves. There was no cutting corners. There

26
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.359
<v Speaker 1>was a possibility to check out that from that rack,

27
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.519
<v Speaker 1>that last rack that they had a DJ's Foods, which

28
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 1>was the big grocery store in Buffalo. They we had

29
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>an IgA as well, but we went to DJs. If

30
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that happened, she may say, you may pick one thing

31
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>in reference to the candy bars. Oh you're like rich,

32
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>what dude. If it happened once every few months, I'd

33
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>be surprised because we just couldn't. We're just you know,

34
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>we're all hyped up running around, and then you usually

35
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 1>got in trouble trying to enforce because like one of

36
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.719
<v Speaker 1>my sisters would be like, I'll misbehave if you don't

37
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>give me party, like absolutely diabolical stuff. So then you're

38
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to enforce it as the older one, and my

39
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>mom knew what was up. Now we're under the don't

40
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>touch anything, don't look at anything rule. Oh yeah, no, no, no.

41
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 1>That was part of the first part where you've got

42
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>to behave yourself. So there is no standing in the

43
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.199
<v Speaker 1>next to the cereals, you know, holding the box that

44
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>was That was an instafoul. You're ejected from the game

45
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>and everyone else suffers. That's how I feel today. I

46
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 1>feel like, although there was there was the one crazy

47
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>incident where my sister, overwhelmed with the decision, did not

48
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 1>in a timely manner select and my mom stone cold

49
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 1>said all right, time's up, No treat dude, Dude, ain't

50
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>doing that again. No, no, that never happened, although I

51
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.319
<v Speaker 1>did get barred from candy access over the normal incident.

52
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>One of my sisters got a kitten for Christmas, and

53
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 1>I decided I was gonna name it normal. Do you

54
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 1>get the reference? By the way, that was the that

55
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>was Garfield's other cat, the one he kept trying to

56
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 1>mail to Abu Dhabi, right along with Odie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

57
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 1>So I thought it'd be funny and she did not

58
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>think it was funny. And by the way, you're gonna

59
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>be on my side. Do you know what she wanted

60
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 1>to name the cat? Ikabad? I know you got a Nope, yeah,

61
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 1>we do a beef going back to like ninety three. Nope, yeah, Look,

62
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Ross just got triggered man that was his rival school

63
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>there where everything was uh, candy cane and candy canes

64
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 1>and roses over there, man, let's see here. So yeah,

65
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and I was successful, and then we would we would.

66
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 1>I could get little pieces of cheese, she couldn't see them,

67
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 1>and I'd say normal, and then the cat would come

68
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>over because it knew I had cheese, which I don't

69
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.639
<v Speaker 1>know do that, but and then she'd start crying. And

70
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 1>by the way, the cat ended up being named normal.

71
00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>So I won, but I got a lot of trouble

72
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>over that. So with that in mind, I don't know

73
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 1>where to start today, all that childhood memory, because every

74
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 1>day I say, it's a crazy day. What happened yesterday,

75
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and the information that was coming out yesterday, and the response,

76
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the insta response on a Wednesday in the middle of

77
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.199
<v Speaker 1>the day for the Democrats to get a bunch of

78
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:29.639
<v Speaker 1>people marching around downtown Raleigh man protesting Musk protesting Trump.

79
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not surprised, but what was going on yesterday, what

80
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>was going on yesterday is essentially all of these things,

81
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>whether they are things that reward donors, whether they are

82
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>things that keep people in line because somebody in the

83
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>intelligence community or somebody in the political community can be like, well, look,

84
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to vote that way. I think people

85
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>need to know about the three million dollar kickback to

86
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 1>your charity. Blah blah blah. Right, all of those things

87
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.399
<v Speaker 1>rather than being continued to be used. But you ever

88
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 1>wonder why members of the different political parties will only

89
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>torch each other so far. Sometimes it's because the other

90
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>guy's got something. All of those things, so much of

91
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>it tied to programs like USAID. They just put it

92
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 1>out there. They just came out figuratively with pieces of

93
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>paper with all this stuff and then threw it on

94
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 1>stage like a bachelor party at a strip club, and

95
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 1>you're making it rain and it's just there and everyone

96
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>can see it. Politico Politico didn't make payroll yesterday. They

97
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>say it was a tech glitch. I'll let you decide

98
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the amount of money that was going to play, and

99
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>this is how it would go. It would go for

100
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>digital subscriptions, a lot of it, not all of it,

101
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it. Now there's a lot of money

102
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 1>too through USA that is that was through advertising campaigns,

103
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.759
<v Speaker 1>PSA campaigns, things like that. So you know there's a

104
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of media outlets will be on that list, but

105
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:16.759
<v Speaker 1>you got to look and see what they were doing

106
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.879
<v Speaker 1>with it and how it was with Politico. They were

107
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.519
<v Speaker 1>buying digital subscriptions and not a few eight million dollars worth,

108
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 1>so that I guess people within the office who were

109
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 1>over trying to get their transgender opera and Colombia up

110
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>and running have access to Politico is it and they'll

111
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.040
<v Speaker 1>just say, well, it's for resources and periodicals and stuff.

112
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Now everybody knows what's up there. If I want a

113
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 1>story off Politico, if I want to read a story

114
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>off Politico, it's very easy for me to do it.

115
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a subscription, and if there is a subscription,

116
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>chances are somebody has written a story about the story

117
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 1>that has the details, or there's there's a bunch of

118
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 1>websites where you can go and just drop the r

119
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.319
<v Speaker 1>L in and then see it, or half the time

120
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>if you just click reader view you can see it. No,

121
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:17.199
<v Speaker 1>that's how you launder eight million dollars. In the opinion

122
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:23.079
<v Speaker 1>of many people myself kind of included, and it was

123
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.360
<v Speaker 1>just hit after hit after hit. By the way, do

124
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.959
<v Speaker 1>you know where the Doge team is today? Where his

125
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.439
<v Speaker 1>we got we need a name for the for this.

126
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, this group of six dudes with their laptops

127
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and their zin man, you know, like elliot Ness had

128
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the Untouchables. Wait, we need a name for these dude.

129
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 1>How about Uncrustables. They're young, the possibilities. Some of them

130
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.199
<v Speaker 1>don't eat crust. I don't know. I'll work on something.

131
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.399
<v Speaker 1>But they're at National Institute of Health today. And if

132
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you think that the kick and the screaming was crazy

133
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 1>yesterday day, holy cow man, it's just gonna get worse.

134
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:11.319
<v Speaker 1>And everyone who's shown up to pro understand what you're protesting.

135
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>You're protesting this and over on Blue Sky. I don't

136
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>know if you've got a sense of what the what

137
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>people are saying over on Blue Sky. Let me let

138
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 1>me help you out. You have, and not just on

139
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Blue Sky, on Twitter and others. You have a bunch

140
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>of people that have been convinced that the reason the

141
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Musk and his team were there using read only basically,

142
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're not altering code, according to the White House,

143
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:45.200
<v Speaker 1>but rather just looking at what's there and then going, hey,

144
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>look at this. They there, they were convinced that they

145
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:57.159
<v Speaker 1>were stealing people's bank accounts. And because that's what Democrat

146
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>politicians were feeding them yesterday, screw reaming their head off.

147
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>You got to Al Green down there trying, oh we

148
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.799
<v Speaker 1>gotta we got here, we go with this againuys, to

149
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 1>it not rise that the movement to impeach the president

150
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:12.799
<v Speaker 1>has begun?

151
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 3>Okay, guys, to announce that I will bring articles of

152
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 3>impeachments against the president.

153
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:25.519
<v Speaker 1>You will for destardly deeds proposed? Wait, wait, bastardly deeds?

154
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Do we know how much they cost? Ross? Do you

155
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>how much the dastardly deeds were. I would hope that

156
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>we were able to get a cheap, cheap price on him,

157
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.559
<v Speaker 1>and they were done as such, and destinardly deeds done

158
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 1>dirt cheap. I think Ross cut that part off. All right,

159
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>So we got we're gonna go through impeachment. Chuck Schumer's

160
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>up there. He didn't have props yesterday, but he's doing

161
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.720
<v Speaker 1>his thing. Everyone is losing their mind because if anyone

162
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>even the people march around downtown Raleigh yesterday for a moment,

163
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>we're intellectually honest and just look back and went, I'm sorry,

164
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.440
<v Speaker 1>we spent and I'm not Let me let me share

165
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>a number with you. This is one of my favorite

166
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.720
<v Speaker 1>little stories from yesterday, Ross, how much do you think

167
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the us AID in total spent attempting to get American well,

168
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.879
<v Speaker 1>not just Americans, I believe, yeah, not just Americans, but

169
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>primarily Americans to eat less pizza, either by force or

170
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 1>by appealing to them. How much how many tax dollars

171
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.759
<v Speaker 1>do you think USAID spent in the last last administration,

172
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>last five years, last five years to get people to

173
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.480
<v Speaker 1>not eat pizza up to an including pressuring lawmakers to

174
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:50.240
<v Speaker 1>change laws like in New York where they're getting rid

175
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>of coal fired pizza because they don't like it. In

176
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.559
<v Speaker 1>your food pyramid, how many of your dollars do you

177
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.840
<v Speaker 1>think we're spent attacking pizza?

178
00:10:57.919 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, first off, this sounds like treason, but I would

179
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.279
<v Speaker 2>probably at at least a mill right, a million.

180
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:06.320
<v Speaker 1>One hundred million, yes, one hundred hundred million, yes, to

181
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 1>attack pizza. So if it's trees and it's like super treason.

182
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 2>At that point, it's just the Democrat Party and these

183
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:19.120
<v Speaker 2>people protesting downtown are they're becoming more and more the

184
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 2>party of or well like they're they're irrelevant and because

185
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.759
<v Speaker 2>the reason is they keep protesting things that when the

186
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.360
<v Speaker 2>average person hears them, right, they say that makes sense,

187
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 2>and they say that that makes right, right, right, But

188
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.879
<v Speaker 2>you hear like, you know, hey, we're cutting all of

189
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.000
<v Speaker 2>this funding for these programs that are ridiculous. And the

190
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.480
<v Speaker 2>average person says, yeah, that makes sense. I understand that.

191
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Don't do that. And then you have these other people

192
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.159
<v Speaker 2>that are just protesting it, and you're protesting it just

193
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.320
<v Speaker 2>because you're used to protesting whatever is against Trump. Yeah,

194
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 2>you're I saw somebody write on excid it made sense.

195
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 2>It was like the Democrat Party is. They aren't like

196
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.519
<v Speaker 2>dogs chasing cars now, they're dogs chasing like giant, huge parades.

197
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, because most people are going along with it,

198
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:06.639
<v Speaker 2>going yeah, this is good stuff that we're doing it.

199
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:10.480
<v Speaker 2>But you're down there protesting like delusional cult idiots. Oh

200
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 2>I like this, You're ready the Musketeers?

201
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of that? Love it?

202
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 4>All right?

203
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:17.840
<v Speaker 1>We'll go with Musketeers. Well done? Person who's send me

204
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:23.039
<v Speaker 1>that email? All right? So yeah, no, no, no, no, you're

205
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.720
<v Speaker 1>absolutely right, like you're never stopping to see that that's

206
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 1>not a Ford escort year after anymore. That's something different.

207
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>And you're and and by the way, you're also never

208
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 1>like consulting people around you, you're just assuming that others

209
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.120
<v Speaker 1>peeling off your ideology. You go, wait a second, did

210
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you look at some of this stuff? What do you do?

211
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.120
<v Speaker 2>And once again, and they're calling him a threat to democracy.

212
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.039
<v Speaker 2>The guy that won the popular vote is the threat

213
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:43.759
<v Speaker 2>to democracy.

214
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:47.519
<v Speaker 1>That's insane. Which didn't it all lead to probably helping

215
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.720
<v Speaker 1>somebody or somebody's shoot at him or attempt to shoot

216
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>at him. The threat to democracy is a pretty and

217
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:57.519
<v Speaker 1>and and just to show you how serious they are,

218
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.279
<v Speaker 1>they they were supposed to have a big rally. I

219
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:02.480
<v Speaker 1>think I just saw this this morning. Where is this?

220
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, did already opened it? Damn it, damnit, damn it?

221
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, I gotta find it. They're supposed to have

222
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 1>a big rally over here. It is okay to protest

223
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>literally Hitler and literally I guess unelected Hitler. All right,

224
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.440
<v Speaker 1>So when was this supposed to pay? So this was

225
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be last night? Ross did you see video

226
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.279
<v Speaker 1>of the rally last night to protest literally Hitler? You

227
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.519
<v Speaker 1>know I missed it? I did? I missed it? Oh yeah,

228
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:35.799
<v Speaker 1>well that's because they canceled it because it was it

229
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:41.080
<v Speaker 1>was too cold, So it was it was in a

230
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:45.360
<v Speaker 1>low forties man, forties, right, you can't stop Hitler or

231
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:49.919
<v Speaker 1>when it's you know, when you need gloves, right, who

232
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.000
<v Speaker 1>would do that battle of the bulge? They were like

233
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 1>a little nippy out, yeah, put it off, think right,

234
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 1>put it off.

235
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Jeez man, well lot of class, Like, what are you protesting?

236
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.039
<v Speaker 2>It makes absolutely no sense. You're just protesting the protest

237
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:06.279
<v Speaker 2>because that's your normal.

238
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Would you do? That's why I had to go to

239
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Bluesky and figure out, Like, I guess if you're dumb

240
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.279
<v Speaker 1>enough to think that Elon just stole your bank account,

241
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 1>I'd be pretty upset. Right, people you trust I don't

242
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.399
<v Speaker 1>know why you trust them have told you that he's

243
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.120
<v Speaker 1>there and they plugged in and they stole all your

244
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.279
<v Speaker 1>money and they're going to use it. I don't know

245
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>for what, but like and you're you're mad as hell

246
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and you're not gonna take it. Well, that's all right,

247
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:30.720
<v Speaker 1>okay whatever. That's the other thing.

248
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:32.879
<v Speaker 2>They're like, oh my god, there's people in government that

249
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.000
<v Speaker 2>have your social Security number in your your banking information.

250
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Really, how many times do we have

251
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:39.600
<v Speaker 2>to see in the news that there's some sort of

252
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:42.559
<v Speaker 2>three letter agency that where that was all the information

253
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.600
<v Speaker 2>of your personal information was stolen by China.

254
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:45.080
<v Speaker 4>Whoop.

255
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.480
<v Speaker 1>See all the time. It happens all the time. I was.

256
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.799
<v Speaker 1>I was. I was given free UH monitoring software which

257
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I never used. And by the way, the IRIS has

258
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.799
<v Speaker 1>all your information. They have they just sent it to

259
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>him last week. What are you going to do with it.

260
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't have my retire I don't get a big return.

261
00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:05.679
<v Speaker 1>I managed mine, okay, but I like a little. I

262
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:08.919
<v Speaker 1>like to get the smallest check where somebody had to

263
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:10.559
<v Speaker 1>do something, even though it's probably a computer.

264
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:10.840
<v Speaker 5>Now.

265
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:13.720
<v Speaker 1>One time I got the State of North Carolina to

266
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.519
<v Speaker 1>send me an eight dollar return. So ah, life goals anyway, Yeah,

267
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:23.159
<v Speaker 1>it's due. I haven't got into the audio, but like

268
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 1>that's just setting the scene. And then while all of

269
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.960
<v Speaker 1>this is going on, and it would be an amazing,

270
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>insane show. Anyway. I saw some things yesterday that just

271
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.000
<v Speaker 1>we got some audio. Ross has been giggling for twenty

272
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.879
<v Speaker 1>four hours. I can't wait to play the audio he's

273
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.080
<v Speaker 1>so excited about. And then I found the most amazing

274
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>woman trying to really help pact to day and get

275
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:50.320
<v Speaker 1>their crap together. People are people are making fun of her.

276
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.559
<v Speaker 1>She's got a dream man, she's got a dream. She

277
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.480
<v Speaker 1>might also have been disappeared already. I don't know. We'll

278
00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>find out together coming up in And also Stephen Kent

279
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>will join us at eight oh five, So lots to

280
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.759
<v Speaker 1>get to KCO Day radio program. Hang on. They have

281
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:13.519
<v Speaker 1>their media outlets, there are, but not all are created equal.

282
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.399
<v Speaker 1>There are influencers. Like we were just talking off the air,

283
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.799
<v Speaker 1>what happens when you find out assistin or somebody's up there.

284
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it'll be that surprising because remember with

285
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.879
<v Speaker 1>some of the Tides Foundation stuff. And also if you're

286
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a celebrity, if you're a celebrity in Hollywood and your

287
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:34.399
<v Speaker 1>name was utilized for some campaign as part of a

288
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:37.639
<v Speaker 1>USAID program, all you're going to say is, look, somebody

289
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.559
<v Speaker 1>approached and they said, hey, do you want equality and

290
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:44.159
<v Speaker 1>a million dollars and I said yes. You said, you're

291
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>going to have a hard time there with the Politico

292
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:52.639
<v Speaker 1>sold eight million dollars of an intangible object, which is

293
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:55.279
<v Speaker 1>how I would pay somebody off if I didn't want

294
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:58.879
<v Speaker 1>it to look like a payoff. So that then comes

295
00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:01.159
<v Speaker 1>down the media outlet to go, like if if I

296
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>was political and I said ross right in the US government.

297
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I said, Ross, I want to pay you eight million dollars,

298
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.720
<v Speaker 1>so you push propaganda on your Twitch channel. As broadcast,

299
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.799
<v Speaker 1>you're going to buy eight million subs? Yeah, those say

300
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:15.640
<v Speaker 1>in this scenario, I offered to do that, but you

301
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.319
<v Speaker 1>have to pitch propaganda as a responsible broadcaster. You would

302
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.440
<v Speaker 1>say I would feel dirty about that.

303
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:24.759
<v Speaker 2>But if I woke up and I was like, somebody

304
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.160
<v Speaker 2>buy eight million subs and is it's something this thing

305
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 2>called USA, It'd be like, that's amazing.

306
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm retiring. But I was pissed off. They didn't give

307
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:34.759
<v Speaker 1>me any money.

308
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:37.960
<v Speaker 2>You guys, you bastards could buy one sub. You could

309
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:39.880
<v Speaker 2>have got to my Twitch channel by one sub.

310
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.759
<v Speaker 1>You have some guy who likes potatoes who buy subs

311
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:43.279
<v Speaker 1>for everybody.

312
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I've seen that, but this is it makes sense too.

313
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Like you were seeing like you know, when they were

314
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.240
<v Speaker 2>sending like Ben Stiller and like these people to Ukraine

315
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.279
<v Speaker 2>and it turns out where they were like four million

316
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:53.759
<v Speaker 2>dollars you know, through the USA.

317
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.680
<v Speaker 1>To go there again, they'll claim that they thought it

318
00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.160
<v Speaker 1>was USO. You know what I'm saying.

319
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:02.000
<v Speaker 2>It does make you want though, because remember when Kamala

320
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Harris breaked in like one point five billion in like

321
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:06.680
<v Speaker 2>a week, and everybody was like, wow, how how did

322
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:08.799
<v Speaker 2>that happen? Well, maybe we should thought that a bit more.

323
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, that goes into that goes into that act blue

324
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.160
<v Speaker 1>stuff where you saw like remember the video or reporter

325
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it was the local report it was it

326
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:23.839
<v Speaker 1>was the dude. It was the J six reporter Stephen Horn, Right, Yeah,

327
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:26.799
<v Speaker 1>he had some videos out there where he went to

328
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.759
<v Speaker 1>this dude's house in Raleigh, I think. And the guy

329
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 1>lives in I'm not knocking on the dude, but he

330
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.799
<v Speaker 1>lives in a you know, a pretty small apartment. Like, hey,

331
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:39.079
<v Speaker 1>by the way, did you donate seven hundred times to

332
00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a tune of like fifteen thousand Democratic candidates? And I

333
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:45.559
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm sorry, do you see the apartment

334
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm living in? Right? I think that that has the

335
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.680
<v Speaker 1>potential for a huge scandal because that's how you would

336
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:54.519
<v Speaker 1>funnel money in. You'd have a bunch of small donations,

337
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:58.440
<v Speaker 1>you'd use an active name. It's it's largely why people

338
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.880
<v Speaker 1>think they send those five dollars things out. If you're

339
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:04.839
<v Speaker 1>a five dollars donator, you're probably not one hundred dollars donator.

340
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.799
<v Speaker 1>So they can add a few other things there and

341
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:09.880
<v Speaker 1>put it in the records under your name. That's what

342
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:12.079
<v Speaker 1>people are accusing them of doing. And that is how

343
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>you would acquire that much money if there wasn't popular

344
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.119
<v Speaker 1>support for the person. You just get the big money

345
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:21.000
<v Speaker 1>people and then split it up. How deep are we

346
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:26.640
<v Speaker 1>going to go on this? Man? Meanwhile, it is just crazy.

347
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you it's just for me. It's an inkind

348
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:31.319
<v Speaker 1>donation to the radio show. All right, I got to

349
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:33.720
<v Speaker 1>play this cut ross and ever laughing after the show.

350
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:38.319
<v Speaker 1>We didn't get to this yesterday. So Trump is the

351
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.720
<v Speaker 1>woman is a reporter from Afghanistan. I don't know what capacity.

352
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's TV or newspaper or what

353
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Trump is. He cann be funny, bro. So she asked

354
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:59.359
<v Speaker 1>a question. He can't understand what she's asking. So listen

355
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to how he handled.

356
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:04.680
<v Speaker 6>Go ahead.

357
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:07.839
<v Speaker 7>As an expectations from you, do you have any plan

358
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.160
<v Speaker 7>to change Afghanistan situation? Are you able to recognize Taliban?

359
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:16.359
<v Speaker 7>Because I'm an upgun journalist, up and suffer woman, Any

360
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:20.400
<v Speaker 7>comment about Afghanist unless your future plant what a gun people? Actually?

361
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, let me say this, I can kind of hear

362
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.039
<v Speaker 1>what she's asking, and obviously this is not her first language.

363
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:29.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not knocking on her for it. She's asking a

364
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.519
<v Speaker 1>broader question like are you planning on doing anything in Afghanistan?

365
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.640
<v Speaker 1>She asked a couple of specific points, but it's kind

366
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.160
<v Speaker 1>of hard to hear. She's quiet, and I had to

367
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:39.279
<v Speaker 1>listen to it a couple of times. But that's the

368
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:42.559
<v Speaker 1>gist of it. Unfortunately, I don't think Trump picked up

369
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:44.240
<v Speaker 1>on the gys have a little.

370
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:49.920
<v Speaker 6>Hard time understanding you. Where are you from? Actually it's

371
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.599
<v Speaker 6>a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. The only problem

372
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.880
<v Speaker 6>is I can't understand the word you're saying. But I

373
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.960
<v Speaker 6>just say this, good luck, living.

374
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Dude, love for hours. I just opened it yesterday, like

375
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:09.759
<v Speaker 1>three in the afternoon. Wait wait, wait was it this part?

376
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:12.319
<v Speaker 6>The only problem is I can't understand the word you're saying.

377
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Or was it the living peace? It's a thank you,

378
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:16.160
<v Speaker 1>living piece or whatever.

379
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 2>It's so great because it's so relatable, right, So it's

380
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:22.000
<v Speaker 2>very relatable, like how many times have you we've all

381
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:23.880
<v Speaker 2>at some point spoken to somebody and they've had a

382
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:26.359
<v Speaker 2>thick accent and you've had no idea what the person said,

383
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:28.640
<v Speaker 2>and you want to say to the person. I'm sorry,

384
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.079
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea what you just said.

385
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:32.160
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, dude. This is the whole This is

386
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>the whole journey losing learning the second language right because

387
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:40.119
<v Speaker 1>people what happens is you are comfortable enough and they

388
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:44.119
<v Speaker 1>interpret that you're you're like for me, it's Spanish. They

389
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:46.640
<v Speaker 1>interpret that my Spanish is good enough because I can

390
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:48.960
<v Speaker 1>handle a lot of the formal greetings in the early part.

391
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:51.839
<v Speaker 1>And then they get into something and I am lost

392
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:54.799
<v Speaker 1>because and usually it's because they're speaking too fast, so

393
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:57.839
<v Speaker 1>I have to make a decision in my head where

394
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm begging for keywords trying to together what they're saying,

395
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:03.400
<v Speaker 1>or if I politely nod.

396
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:05.640
<v Speaker 2>It's And you don't have to be somebody from a

397
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.119
<v Speaker 2>different country. The first time I met, the first time

398
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:11.079
<v Speaker 2>I went to Tennessee to visit Marky's family. We drove

399
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:12.920
<v Speaker 2>away from Atlanta and we went to the country.

400
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:13.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

401
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, our grandfather was sitting on the porch and got

402
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:19.279
<v Speaker 2>your rest his soul and he like, I'm not hail

403
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:21.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm making him sound caging, but he did. He's like,

404
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:26.359
<v Speaker 2>he said it like three or four times, and I

405
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 2>finally said, I'm like I don't know what you're saying.

406
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.079
<v Speaker 2>And Mark, he's like, how do you like those hills?

407
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:39.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, they're beautiful. That's the gras like, I

408
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:40.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know what you're saying.

409
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Shalom, dude. If Trump had said shalom fell out.

410
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.039
<v Speaker 2>The woman when he's complimenting her voice, he's like, you

411
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:53.720
<v Speaker 2>have a beautiful voice at very different when you look

412
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.160
<v Speaker 2>at her. She's looking at him with her hands out

413
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.519
<v Speaker 2>and like the prayer type, you know, symbol like oh

414
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:00.359
<v Speaker 2>my god, thank you so much. And then he says

415
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:02.880
<v Speaker 2>that part and all of them around her like, oh

416
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.440
<v Speaker 2>my god, I can't believe he just said that. But

417
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:08.119
<v Speaker 2>that's why people like him because he's so completely honest.

418
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:10.640
<v Speaker 2>He's not going to be su man. He's not going

419
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:12.839
<v Speaker 2>to be like no, no, But here's the thing.

420
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:14.960
<v Speaker 1>He is going to be su if he thinks there's

421
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 1>a business reason. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah? Sure,

422
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.119
<v Speaker 1>Like and people try to go, oh, well that's you know,

423
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:21.839
<v Speaker 1>look at the stuff where he's he's you know, he

424
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:23.640
<v Speaker 1>low balled him on an off where he did all

425
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:27.440
<v Speaker 1>this like he's what when you say he's honest, it's

426
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:31.559
<v Speaker 1>honest in the sense that if you understand him. That's

427
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:32.119
<v Speaker 1>how we act.

428
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:35.920
<v Speaker 2>But especially after four years of Biden, where everything was

429
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:39.240
<v Speaker 2>scripted or he wouldn't show up and everything was planned

430
00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:42.200
<v Speaker 2>and rehearsed, and he had a fake oval office to

431
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:45.480
<v Speaker 2>finally have somebody in there who's actually taking questions, and

432
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:47.960
<v Speaker 2>when they don't understand, he could have smiled and just

433
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.240
<v Speaker 2>give him some weird generic but he's like, I don't

434
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:50.799
<v Speaker 2>know what you're saying.

435
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:55.119
<v Speaker 1>What you normally say that situation was. You know, that's

436
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 1>a good question me. I'm going to talk to my

437
00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:58.839
<v Speaker 1>staff and I'm want to give you a specific answer,

438
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 1>so let me get back to you. That's exactly how

439
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:03.240
<v Speaker 1>you handle it. When you hear a politician say it,

440
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:05.359
<v Speaker 1>it's largely because they don't have an answer. That's how

441
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.599
<v Speaker 1>they deflect it. Because now you're off the camera and

442
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:09.160
<v Speaker 1>if you get back to him, great, If you don't,

443
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:12.920
<v Speaker 1>nobody will probably ever hear about it. But no, he's just.

444
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.079
<v Speaker 6>Like, the only problem is I can't understand the word

445
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:15.799
<v Speaker 6>you're saying.

446
00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Living peace. Sorry, that's great. It's his delivery too.

447
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:22.799
<v Speaker 2>It's the same way when he was I remember there

448
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:24.839
<v Speaker 2>was a moment when he was in the garbage truck

449
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:27.720
<v Speaker 2>at the airport. Yeah, And it was the way that

450
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:30.319
<v Speaker 2>the fo that it was framed, and he was in

451
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:32.000
<v Speaker 2>the center of the frame and he had his.

452
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Arm at the door, and he just goes, how do

453
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:36.359
<v Speaker 1>you like my truck? And it was just the delivery

454
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:39.880
<v Speaker 1>of it. He's a funny dude. Now, if you hate him,

455
00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:43.079
<v Speaker 1>he's not. If you hate him, he's not. And that's unfortunate.

456
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, man, I think like you could look

457
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:47.920
<v Speaker 2>at that and be like, that's funny. Just the delivery

458
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:50.799
<v Speaker 2>of the line, how you like my truck? It's funny, dude.

459
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:53.359
<v Speaker 1>I think Joe Biden trying to call a dude fats

460
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:55.559
<v Speaker 1>and then try to fight him as funny. That's how

461
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.319
<v Speaker 1>cynical I am. Except with that I realized it's like

462
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:03.279
<v Speaker 1>cope mechanism for you know, what's going on with him.

463
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:05.200
<v Speaker 1>So then it becomes a little sad. But now Trump's

464
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:06.839
<v Speaker 1>just like, I don't know what you're saying, lady, but

465
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you're saying it. Well, so it's very beautiful. That's crazy.

466
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:15.559
<v Speaker 1>And remember this guy's being accused of espionage. He's being

467
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 1>it and and it's by the way, do you know

468
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:22.519
<v Speaker 1>how he built doge? It's actually brilliant. He's got some

469
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.160
<v Speaker 1>really smart people around him. He didn't DOZE is not

470
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 1>a thing that didn't exist and then just existed. DOGE

471
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:36.480
<v Speaker 1>is literally an it audit agency that was constructed by

472
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the Obama administration. It had a different name, but it

473
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:45.279
<v Speaker 1>had the same acronym, so he just repurposed it. So

474
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:47.559
<v Speaker 1>everyone running around going, he just created this thing. It's

475
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:52.519
<v Speaker 1>probably not no, this is a thing that Obama created

476
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:56.079
<v Speaker 1>that roughly did the same. They obviously just didn't do it,

477
00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:59.799
<v Speaker 1>and it even has the same acronym. They just changed

478
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:00.359
<v Speaker 1>the words.

479
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.119
<v Speaker 2>That's even more infuriating because they had the way to

480
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:05.359
<v Speaker 2>do this, they just didn't want to. They're just like,

481
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:07.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, we could go in and find all this waste,

482
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:08.920
<v Speaker 2>but you know we're not gonna do it.

483
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Nope. So like I do you guys are Democrats are

484
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:17.079
<v Speaker 1>screwed on this? And let's I mean, I'm sure they

485
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:19.680
<v Speaker 1>can find a judge to you know, stick it up

486
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:23.079
<v Speaker 1>for a little while. But like, they didn't recreate. They

487
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:27.839
<v Speaker 1>created something that Congress already funded and knew that they

488
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:30.720
<v Speaker 1>were funding. And even though the executive branchs could move

489
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.319
<v Speaker 1>money around, they knew about this. They just were never

490
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:37.599
<v Speaker 1>scared of it because they didn't do it. Dude, it's

491
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:39.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna I I texted Ross yesterday. I came to a

492
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:45.119
<v Speaker 1>realization yesterday, and I hope I'm wrong. There are so

493
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:50.960
<v Speaker 1>many people's boxes about to get gored, where their livelihood

494
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:54.839
<v Speaker 1>is is threatened and or is probably going away, and

495
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:56.640
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna have to figure out how to lean into

496
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.599
<v Speaker 1>this drift in the private sector without getting government thrown

497
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.000
<v Speaker 1>their way some other new thing where they're able to

498
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.839
<v Speaker 1>squirrel dollars. You'll never tamp it all down or go

499
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.119
<v Speaker 1>out and get a normal job. There are so many

500
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.559
<v Speaker 1>people who are so convinced that they're saving the world

501
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.839
<v Speaker 1>with this stuff because it's supported all of this. They

502
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:20.839
<v Speaker 1>had a dude I mentioned they had a dude who

503
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.839
<v Speaker 1>was He got like a million dollars for all these

504
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:27.400
<v Speaker 1>different crazy projects like getting a third gender put on

505
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.319
<v Speaker 1>the Indonesian ballot or something. And there's this a whole

506
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.079
<v Speaker 1>list of colle He had it on his LinkedIn and

507
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:35.119
<v Speaker 1>it was like nine hundred and fifty eight million we

508
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:38.960
<v Speaker 1>paid him. He's he's just the project guy going to

509
00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:44.839
<v Speaker 1>Guatemala to do expand LGBT political stuff. A lot of

510
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>it's LGBT, some of its social you know, more more

511
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.799
<v Speaker 1>social justice. But he's just one dude. That dude is

512
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:55.440
<v Speaker 1>what's he going to do? And and so my fear

513
00:27:55.720 --> 00:28:03.559
<v Speaker 1>is as you go through all these departments, somebody's gonna snap. Bro,

514
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:06.640
<v Speaker 1>somebody's gonna and I don't like to use the term

515
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:11.119
<v Speaker 1>go postal. There's just too many people. And that's what

516
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm fearful over. I'm not talking about some high level

517
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.039
<v Speaker 1>espionage thing or a member of Congress tries to hire

518
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a hit man at hitman dot com and it's a

519
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>national scandal. I mean some guy who worked in one

520
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:27.400
<v Speaker 1>of these made up fields, whose department and a whole

521
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:31.000
<v Speaker 1>program just got eighty six and there's no real world

522
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:33.279
<v Speaker 1>application for what they do. Sitting there going what do

523
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I got to lose? That's what I'm fearful of. You

524
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.519
<v Speaker 1>couldn't have enough protection around basically anybody in this administration

525
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:44.480
<v Speaker 1>right now, let alone just taking it out on people

526
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:47.440
<v Speaker 1>at their office. And again, I hope I'm wrong, but

527
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the more insane stuff that just keeps coming to light,

528
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the more I'm thinking that it's a possibility some lunatic

529
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:58.599
<v Speaker 1>tried to jump over the White House fence yesterday. He

530
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:03.160
<v Speaker 1>wasn't very good at it, and he kind of announced

531
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:05.079
<v Speaker 1>it to everybody's like, hey watch this. He didn't say

532
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:07.319
<v Speaker 1>hold my beer. And then he got to the top

533
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:09.440
<v Speaker 1>of the fence, got tyed. He got a couple of

534
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:12.720
<v Speaker 1>those times wrapped up in his pants. They broke away,

535
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:14.839
<v Speaker 1>which I'm a little concerned about, and then he climbed down.

536
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:16.400
<v Speaker 1>And by the time he climbed down, he was just

537
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:21.960
<v Speaker 1>dogpiled by Capital Security there, White House Security, and Secret Service.

538
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:28.039
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I don't know exactly what his motives. Do

539
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:29.119
<v Speaker 1>we know anything more about that?

540
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:29.400
<v Speaker 4>Dude?

541
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:32.039
<v Speaker 1>Did you see any follow up? I didn't see any

542
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:35.559
<v Speaker 1>follow up on him, but he wasn't going to get

543
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:35.920
<v Speaker 1>in there.

544
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:38.559
<v Speaker 6>The only which is I can't understand the word you're saying.

545
00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:46.640
<v Speaker 1>See what's going on here? That's on the bud bar forever? Yep, dude.

546
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:48.640
<v Speaker 1>If that guy had screened Leroy Jenkins, it would have

547
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:53.480
<v Speaker 1>been funnier. Oh, it would have been amazing. Right, Sorry,

548
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:56.359
<v Speaker 1>that's one of my one nerd callback I know. All right,

549
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.559
<v Speaker 1>six forty eight KCODA radio program. U want to grab

550
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:02.319
<v Speaker 1>a quick called Janet? What's up?

551
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:07.160
<v Speaker 8>Hey, Casey? I was just calling by a couple of things. Actually,

552
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:13.039
<v Speaker 8>never underestimate the stupidity of a liberal. When Trump returned

553
00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:16.000
<v Speaker 8>the power to decide for abortion over to the people,

554
00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:21.039
<v Speaker 8>they're representatives had them believe in the abortion was banned,

555
00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:25.119
<v Speaker 8>they bought hook, climb and sinker even though they were

556
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:31.359
<v Speaker 8>just handed a gift. That's the first thing. The second

557
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:35.559
<v Speaker 8>thing they guy that those guys, Yeah, I think unfunded

558
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:38.880
<v Speaker 8>the Unpungibles fits better because it just fits in so

559
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:39.680
<v Speaker 8>many ways.

560
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:43.079
<v Speaker 1>And I like it with the Untouchables reference. I think

561
00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Musketeers is good. Also the bobs for fans of office space.

562
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:53.240
<v Speaker 8>Yes, yeah, that's a good one.

563
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:53.920
<v Speaker 4>I like it.

564
00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:57.000
<v Speaker 1>But uh yeah, well well we'll stick them all in

565
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:01.039
<v Speaker 1>rotation Janet, So okay, all right, all right, I appreciate it,

566
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:05.720
<v Speaker 1>and we will take a break because just when all

567
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:07.440
<v Speaker 1>of this is going on and it would be more

568
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.880
<v Speaker 1>than enough for show, for any show, I get. I

569
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.319
<v Speaker 1>see this insane video of this woman over in Pakistan

570
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's a car, it's a it's a it's

571
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:25.319
<v Speaker 1>a car wreck. Then a train comes along and then

572
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:28.160
<v Speaker 1>a seven thirty seven lands on the like it's just

573
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:34.119
<v Speaker 1>in every twist and turn is is just insane. A

574
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:36.680
<v Speaker 1>call we got just a couple of minutes. Yes, Jamal

575
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:42.160
<v Speaker 1>be in ecstasy this week.

576
00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:46.119
<v Speaker 4>You might say, you know what, Casey, I won't tell

577
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:50.519
<v Speaker 4>you like this because this is really scary. This USAA

578
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:53.519
<v Speaker 4>we have found out, of course they said was the CIA.

579
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:56.680
<v Speaker 4>It's money for them to be able to carry projects,

580
00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:59.759
<v Speaker 4>you know, stuff like that overseas. But what we're finding

581
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:03.160
<v Speaker 4>out the fundeling money back here to America and they're

582
00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:07.839
<v Speaker 4>funneling it back to back a particular political cause. Will

583
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:12.240
<v Speaker 4>we find out the more Elon Musk and these people did,

584
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:18.559
<v Speaker 4>Leticia James, Fennie Willis, Alvin Bragg. Will we find out

585
00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:23.440
<v Speaker 4>they got money from them to investigate Trump? I have

586
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:28.279
<v Speaker 4>never seen a Democrat party just go ballistic like this.

587
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, and I've seen them usually they're ballistic, but

588
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:34.759
<v Speaker 4>it gets the focused.

589
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when a when a party is going ballistic, there

590
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:40.000
<v Speaker 1>is a cause and there's a reason. This is just

591
00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:43.799
<v Speaker 1>this is just thrashing your legs in a tantrum right now,

592
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:44.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's.

593
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:48.759
<v Speaker 4>Very they're trying to stop it. Casey, everything, because here's

594
00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:52.720
<v Speaker 4>what happened, especially that thing with political You also find

595
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:58.720
<v Speaker 4>out Chelsea Clinton got eighty four million dollars run in the.

596
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:05.559
<v Speaker 1>World broadcast week, but isn't every day. So we have

597
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:12.039
<v Speaker 1>just a cornucopia of insane stories and fines with the

598
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the USAID Office being laid bare, and you're finding things

599
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:23.440
<v Speaker 1>like eight million dollars in digital subscriptions to Politico. Let's see,

600
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Associated Press has been getting millions and associated Press is

601
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:35.519
<v Speaker 1>much scarier. And here's why. And again, media outlets, you

602
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.640
<v Speaker 1>got to figure out what the money's going for, right

603
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:42.960
<v Speaker 1>is it? Was it ad campaigns? Was it PSA stuff

604
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:45.599
<v Speaker 1>where they just running spots as an in kind donation.

605
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:48.559
<v Speaker 1>I know our company does a bunch of that. I

606
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:50.839
<v Speaker 1>don't know, Maybe maybe there's some stuff there. I don't know,

607
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:54.880
<v Speaker 1>but Ross and I didn't get a check, and we're

608
00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:00.200
<v Speaker 1>very very upset about it. It's like everyone was in

609
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:04.200
<v Speaker 1>on this gravy train. Man. I was actually impressed they

610
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:07.599
<v Speaker 1>were able to rapidly assemble a bunch of protesters downtown

611
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:11.079
<v Speaker 1>and Raleigh, and I would be very curious of whatever

612
00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:14.639
<v Speaker 1>that mailing list is right for your rapid response team.

613
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Of how many of those folks who normally would have

614
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 1>shown up down there with their septum piercing and their

615
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:25.039
<v Speaker 1>sign had an inkling of what was going on and

616
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:29.039
<v Speaker 1>go you know, I'm gonna sit this one out. That

617
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 1>would be very interesting to know, because like that's the problem.

618
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:36.119
<v Speaker 1>That's why there's so much tantrum. That's why everyone's freaking

619
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:40.880
<v Speaker 1>out because it's not just one thing. It's a thousand

620
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:44.920
<v Speaker 1>things and it will be more than a thousand as

621
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:48.519
<v Speaker 1>we dig through this, and you can't plug that many

622
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:53.280
<v Speaker 1>holes in the dyke, so to speak. That's why they're

623
00:34:53.320 --> 00:35:01.039
<v Speaker 1>freaking out. So the amount of don't care and look

624
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:04.480
<v Speaker 1>the other way that is required of you to mobilize

625
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:10.280
<v Speaker 1>on behalf of this is very telling. So all of

626
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:14.000
<v Speaker 1>that's going on, I could do nine shows with that.

627
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:18.480
<v Speaker 1>But then I see this. This is a thing that's happening.

628
00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:22.320
<v Speaker 1>This is my new favorite soap opera. This is the

629
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:24.960
<v Speaker 1>car crash where the plane landed on top and then

630
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:27.679
<v Speaker 1>somehow a train got there. You can't look away from.

631
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:33.559
<v Speaker 1>So this woman is a she's from New York, right,

632
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:38.039
<v Speaker 1>she's got she's very brash, got that very New York delivery.

633
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:43.559
<v Speaker 1>She went online and she found some they call him

634
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:47.280
<v Speaker 1>a teenager. He's an adult teenager, but something like eighteen

635
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:51.159
<v Speaker 1>year old, nineteen year old guy over in Pakistan, and

636
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:53.760
<v Speaker 1>she fell in love with him and wanted to marry him.

637
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:57.920
<v Speaker 1>So she got on a plane from New York, went

638
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:02.280
<v Speaker 1>to Pakistan, went to the family. The family is like

639
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:06.960
<v Speaker 1>aw hell no, and in fact, she they like locked

640
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:09.480
<v Speaker 1>her out, called authority. She camped in front of the

641
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:12.960
<v Speaker 1>house the family. In the middle of the night, left

642
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:19.559
<v Speaker 1>somewhere and she decided to start holding press conferences in

643
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Pakistan with her New York attitude. And in the video

644
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:31.719
<v Speaker 1>you see there's a couple things. One you see her

645
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:34.159
<v Speaker 1>kind of outside and she's got like, I don't know,

646
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirty Pakistani dudes standing behind her. Most of them

647
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:40.280
<v Speaker 1>are young, but there's one elder who's next do her,

648
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:43.360
<v Speaker 1>and he also, I believe, is trying to interpret, so

649
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:46.960
<v Speaker 1>he obviously speaks English and he's trying to interpret, and

650
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:49.920
<v Speaker 1>she's facing a camera and she's like, she just goes

651
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:52.679
<v Speaker 1>off on this tangent. I'm gonna play for you. And

652
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>then there's a second part of the video where now

653
00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:58.679
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of media and you know, when the media

654
00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:00.880
<v Speaker 1>gets there and you have that seeing where the person

655
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:04.119
<v Speaker 1>talking has like ten different microphones with all the different

656
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:08.639
<v Speaker 1>logo things on them. There's an official name, but you

657
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>know the logo things, so you know, like she's being

658
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:17.960
<v Speaker 1>interviewed postgame at the NBA Finals. It's crazy. And I'll

659
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:21.320
<v Speaker 1>walk you through what she does. Help me to understand

660
00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:23.960
<v Speaker 1>how this woman's still alive. I don't want anything bad

661
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.199
<v Speaker 1>to happen to her, and I actually think she's probably

662
00:37:26.199 --> 00:37:31.320
<v Speaker 1>got some mental issues. But holy hell, I was not

663
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:34.519
<v Speaker 1>prepared for this. All right. So this is the outside scene,

664
00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and the person she's belittling is this elder, which culturally

665
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:42.840
<v Speaker 1>not a and a man. There are all men there

666
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:45.119
<v Speaker 1>and she's a woman. And it's in Pakistan. So you

667
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:49.760
<v Speaker 1>understand the dynamic there. Wait for it if you haven't

668
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:52.000
<v Speaker 1>heard it. It's far worse than you think. Here we go.

669
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:53.559
<v Speaker 9>That's it.

670
00:37:54.519 --> 00:38:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's it. Yes, Yes, I'm maybe dynamic too much.

671
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:08.760
<v Speaker 9>It's not listen, I'm not sitting down. My plan is

672
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:11.440
<v Speaker 9>to reconstruct this whole country.

673
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:12.519
<v Speaker 8>Okay.

674
00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:17.840
<v Speaker 9>I'm asking for one hundred K or more. I need

675
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:24.559
<v Speaker 9>twenty k by this week, okay, in my pockets in cash. Okay,

676
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:28.159
<v Speaker 9>that's a demand to the government. The government is gonna

677
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:31.440
<v Speaker 9>fix up these buildings, fix up the sheets, and clean

678
00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:33.840
<v Speaker 9>up these streets. It's ridiculous out here. I do not

679
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:36.960
<v Speaker 9>like it, Okay, I would love for you guys to

680
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:43.920
<v Speaker 9>please understand that Pakistan is in need of new buses,

681
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:49.239
<v Speaker 9>new calves, new cars. Please listen to what I'm saying.

682
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:54.000
<v Speaker 9>My name is on Nija Ahmit, please understand. Thank you

683
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:55.599
<v Speaker 9>very much, have a nice day.

684
00:38:56.960 --> 00:38:59.079
<v Speaker 1>What the hell is going on.

685
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:00.800
<v Speaker 4>You?

686
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:04.920
<v Speaker 1>And the look on their faces like I'm because you

687
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:08.440
<v Speaker 1>know this doesn't happen in Pakistan. Some woman doesn't show up,

688
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:11.320
<v Speaker 1>or a bunch of dudes are let alone a guy

689
00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:14.639
<v Speaker 1>who's clearly trying to help because he's trying to translated.

690
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:17.639
<v Speaker 1>She keeps telling him to shut up as he's translating,

691
00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:22.840
<v Speaker 1>like they can't fathom the audacity of a woman doing that.

692
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:25.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying the attitude is correct. I'm just saying

693
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:30.360
<v Speaker 1>that's the reality. It's Pakistan, man, and she's making so

694
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:33.079
<v Speaker 1>she's sitting there. She can't get her teen hubby and

695
00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:39.639
<v Speaker 1>his family. I can't imagine why they fled obviously, and

696
00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:42.719
<v Speaker 1>then she starts demand, is that your country sucks? Give

697
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:44.960
<v Speaker 1>me money? I need twenty k in my pocket by

698
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:50.679
<v Speaker 1>what this weekend or whatever she said, machin't done. She'd

699
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:52.639
<v Speaker 1>been doing that. She's been holding press conferences.

700
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:52.840
<v Speaker 4>Man.

701
00:39:56.840 --> 00:40:01.159
<v Speaker 9>Okay, okay, I'll Peter's get by to have yes said.

702
00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:04.559
<v Speaker 9>I hope you're saying the right things, Okay, Like I said,

703
00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:10.519
<v Speaker 9>Pakistani to be reconstructed the right way? Do you hand me? Guys,

704
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:13.280
<v Speaker 9>make sure y'all get this on your camera. I'm married

705
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:17.360
<v Speaker 9>to Nidell Hamed. I'm on Nija Hamed. We are moving

706
00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:21.880
<v Speaker 9>to Dubais very soon. We're gonna have our baby and Dubai.

707
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:23.159
<v Speaker 1>It's private.

708
00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:26.360
<v Speaker 9>I'm Muslim, and it's against my religion to tell y'all

709
00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:28.079
<v Speaker 9>my business. Have a nice.

710
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Day, woman. I don't think anything is in your religion,

711
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:36.559
<v Speaker 1>your personality, or anything else makes you not tell your business.

712
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Let's just be honest, because all you're doing is holding

713
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:43.360
<v Speaker 1>press con and so that's horrific. But then, and I

714
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:46.039
<v Speaker 1>want you to understand what she's doing. So remember the

715
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:48.639
<v Speaker 1>microphone array I talked about. That's in front of somebody

716
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:52.199
<v Speaker 1>who's doing one of these press conferences. She randomly picks

717
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:56.400
<v Speaker 1>one up, sticks her arm out to the reporters trying

718
00:40:56.440 --> 00:41:01.320
<v Speaker 1>to ask her questions. Who are Pakistani reporters? Their Pakistani's

719
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:06.639
<v Speaker 1>in Pakistan? They live there, and tries to turn the

720
00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:12.039
<v Speaker 1>interview on them, and then tells them to get out again.

721
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:14.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how she's a lot.

722
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:20.079
<v Speaker 9>I'm not talking unless y'all giving me land and two

723
00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:22.320
<v Speaker 9>thousand or more.

724
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Every week.

725
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:30.719
<v Speaker 9>You hear me, I'm getting my Pakistani passport and Pakistani

726
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:33.639
<v Speaker 9>I D I'm getting it.

727
00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Do y'all agree? Business? What talk?

728
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:46.079
<v Speaker 9>I'm getting one?

729
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you have one?

730
00:41:48.639 --> 00:41:48.800
<v Speaker 8>Oh?

731
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:49.079
<v Speaker 10>You do?

732
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? He's a Pakistani dude in Pakistan.

733
00:41:54.960 --> 00:42:01.559
<v Speaker 9>I don't live here. I'm chilling, are you? There's none

734
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:03.000
<v Speaker 9>of your business. Now go home.

735
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:06.119
<v Speaker 1>You're at a press conference, you're sitting there, take it,

736
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:09.679
<v Speaker 1>take it.

737
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:11.119
<v Speaker 9>If you haven't find him.

738
00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:12.039
<v Speaker 1>What do you have?

739
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:12.719
<v Speaker 9>Back that up?

740
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:24.000
<v Speaker 1>But I'm trying to decide who is worse at diplomatic

741
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:28.800
<v Speaker 1>relations during travel? This woman or remember that lunatic who

742
00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:34.199
<v Speaker 1>was running around South Korea dry humping memorials to comfort women.

743
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Who is that dude's name? He's in jail. He's in jail,

744
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:44.039
<v Speaker 1>isn't he? Whoever that That TikTok influencer was like, I

745
00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:52.079
<v Speaker 1>can't fathom how she's running around Pakistan doing this, screaming

746
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:53.119
<v Speaker 1>at the men over there.

747
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:55.719
<v Speaker 2>It's probably because it's like an oddity. They're like, oh

748
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:57.840
<v Speaker 2>my god, we have a sassy black American woman here

749
00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:00.000
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. We've never seen one before

750
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:00.880
<v Speaker 2>where it's crazy, like.

751
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they look surprised. Yeah, especially in the first

752
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:05.679
<v Speaker 1>one with the younger dude sitting there in the they're

753
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:10.679
<v Speaker 1>all wearing that same soccer jersey, Like, what is happening? What?

754
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:13.559
<v Speaker 1>What is this again? I only thing to happen to

755
00:43:13.559 --> 00:43:15.239
<v Speaker 1>this woman. I'm just baffled.

756
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Nothing has I think if she was like, you know,

757
00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:22.199
<v Speaker 2>touching somebody or doing something physical or crossing the line

758
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:24.800
<v Speaker 2>that way, you might have seen a different sort of reaction.

759
00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:27.079
<v Speaker 1>But they're just sitting back being like, listen to this

760
00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:30.000
<v Speaker 1>woman talks. She's nuts. Yeah, maybe there's making videos for

761
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:32.400
<v Speaker 1>their friends. You won't believe it. Yeah, I don't know.

762
00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:36.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe it. That's why the wildest pieces of

763
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:39.599
<v Speaker 1>video I've seen in forever, and I get to do

764
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:41.440
<v Speaker 1>a show on a morning where we not only have

765
00:43:41.519 --> 00:43:43.039
<v Speaker 1>that woman, we also have Trump.

766
00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:45.360
<v Speaker 6>The only probably is I can't understand the word you're saying.

767
00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:49.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a good day to be me. Oh my goodness.

768
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:52.000
<v Speaker 1>You got to watch the video too. You just have

769
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:55.119
<v Speaker 1>to watch everybody reacting to it. But kind of not.

770
00:43:56.119 --> 00:43:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I have a feeling, like I said, like if she

771
00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:00.639
<v Speaker 2>was throwing hands or something or getting physical. They'd treat

772
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:02.639
<v Speaker 2>her like that dude that would try this rob the

773
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:05.039
<v Speaker 2>convenience store, remember with the garbage.

774
00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:08.400
<v Speaker 1>With the sticks and the sticks, yeah yeah, the pain sticks.

775
00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:11.679
<v Speaker 1>I'd be different. I love other guy film. It's too like, no, no,

776
00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:13.440
<v Speaker 1>don't do that. And then they start getting them good

777
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's like yeah yeah I keep doing that, yeah

778
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:18.079
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah yeah hit him again. So yeah, I was

779
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:20.440
<v Speaker 1>on team Stick the entire time. Yeah, no, I was

780
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:25.039
<v Speaker 1>big stick enthusiast. All right, seven eighteen, Hang on the

781
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:31.400
<v Speaker 1>crazy lady over in Pakistan holding press conferences that I

782
00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I again, how nothing's happened to her? Don't know, and

783
00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:40.239
<v Speaker 1>hopefully nothing does. But uh, it is Super Bowl week,

784
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:43.000
<v Speaker 1>so you got media day, you got all this stuff,

785
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and dude, they are rolling the chiefs. First of all,

786
00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I think we played the Kelsey audio yesterday. If we didn't,

787
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:56.000
<v Speaker 1>here we go. Here is a reporter who I assume

788
00:44:56.079 --> 00:45:00.760
<v Speaker 1>immediately had his credential revoked because remember the NFL just

789
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:03.239
<v Speaker 1>throw you out. They threw Portnoy out and then they

790
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:06.440
<v Speaker 1>comically threw him out again. When he showed up, he

791
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:10.599
<v Speaker 1>got a ticket or a fake ridiculous mustache and then

792
00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:13.360
<v Speaker 1>they found him in the crowd somewhere and Goodell literally

793
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:15.960
<v Speaker 1>had him thrown out of the stadium. So he pretended

794
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to weekend to Bernie's it. It's a hilarious video if

795
00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:22.719
<v Speaker 1>you've never seen it. So some guy asked Travis Kelcey

796
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:26.679
<v Speaker 1>this question, Travis, Travis, what do you love more Taylor

797
00:45:26.760 --> 00:45:30.719
<v Speaker 1>Swift or Phantom fifteen yard roughing the passer penalties in

798
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:35.039
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs? It's a cute question. Anybody else? He goes

799
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:38.039
<v Speaker 1>a good question, anybody else? And it's interesting. You could

800
00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:40.840
<v Speaker 1>tell he was a little irritated by it. The difference

801
00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:45.679
<v Speaker 1>was I like, they hit Mahomes too, and Mahomes I'll

802
00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:49.039
<v Speaker 1>get to his credit. He kind of chuckles and then deflects,

803
00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:52.679
<v Speaker 1>here's that, Africk Patrick. For your whole career, you have

804
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:56.480
<v Speaker 1>had so many great people help you win. So who

805
00:45:56.559 --> 00:46:02.639
<v Speaker 1>is your favorite? Ref He's your favorite?

806
00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:07.639
<v Speaker 4>All do the best? They call? Well there the game?

807
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Is there one that you give a Christmas card to

808
00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:16.440
<v Speaker 1>you every year? Possibly my teammates and that you're trying

809
00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to figure it out, which, by the way, is the

810
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:20.679
<v Speaker 1>exact right way to handle that. If you're Mahomes right,

811
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:23.519
<v Speaker 1>we agree, Ross who even doesn't like the chiefs. You

812
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:26.159
<v Speaker 1>agree that if if a PR person was in his ear,

813
00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:26.920
<v Speaker 1>that's how we talked you.

814
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I think they're under like directions to answer that way,

815
00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:30.840
<v Speaker 2>to behave this way.

816
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:34.000
<v Speaker 1>You just they're expecting it. Just don't allow them to

817
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:37.400
<v Speaker 1>hook you into it, right, Yeah, one hundred percent, although look,

818
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:39.519
<v Speaker 1>not all the questions are that. And again the fact

819
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:42.880
<v Speaker 1>that that's the same dude, right, clearly it sounds like

820
00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the same dude. You know, there's some other stuff. And

821
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:49.679
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was a classy answer by Kelsey because

822
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:52.880
<v Speaker 1>this is now the other side of the gotcha reporting. Right,

823
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump's going to be at the Super Bowl. Tell us

824
00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:57.280
<v Speaker 1>how much you hate them? Right, That's what they're That's

825
00:46:57.280 --> 00:47:00.000
<v Speaker 1>what they're trying to tee up, right, So they hit Kelsey.

826
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:02.840
<v Speaker 10>It's a great honor, I think, you know, no matter

827
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:03.679
<v Speaker 10>who the president is.

828
00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:09.079
<v Speaker 3>I know, I'm excited because it's the biggest game of my.

829
00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Life, you know, and having a question there, you know,

830
00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:15.360
<v Speaker 1>it's the best country in the world again, right answer.

831
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:20.320
<v Speaker 1>They So kudos to the the whoever their PR person is,

832
00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:23.639
<v Speaker 1>who's probably talking to the players and just reminding them

833
00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:27.320
<v Speaker 1>of this stuff. That's how you handle it. So you

834
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:30.480
<v Speaker 1>know that obviously will continue to be up in the

835
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:35.519
<v Speaker 1>news cycle. But we got so much more speaking of

836
00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the in fact. Okay, so we have a couple Lovit cuts.

837
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:43.559
<v Speaker 1>We'll get to those. The Nancy Nancy Mayce just given

838
00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:47.280
<v Speaker 1>zero FS during her committee hearing yesterday is crazy. Listen

839
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:48.599
<v Speaker 1>to this, by the way, listen to this.

840
00:47:48.679 --> 00:47:51.519
<v Speaker 8>The gentle lady has used a phrase.

841
00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Right, So there's another member of Congress who's very upset

842
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:56.800
<v Speaker 1>because Nancy Mayce used a phrase.

843
00:47:56.840 --> 00:48:01.159
<v Speaker 11>The gentle lady has used a phrase that is considered

844
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:02.960
<v Speaker 11>a slur in.

845
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:06.440
<v Speaker 8>The LGBTQ community and the transgender community.

846
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:09.480
<v Speaker 6>Let me please finish without an interruption.

847
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:13.039
<v Speaker 1>And tranny, tranny, tranny, I don't really care. You want

848
00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:16.119
<v Speaker 1>penises and women's bathrooms and I'm not gonna have it, no,

849
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:22.480
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Everything's on fire. I just I'm really curious

850
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:25.920
<v Speaker 1>because there's the whole nerd component, obviously to what's going

851
00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:30.360
<v Speaker 1>on with the the Musketeers or whatever we're calling this

852
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:36.360
<v Speaker 1>group of basically kids that are putting on display all

853
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:39.760
<v Speaker 1>of this stuff we're talking about. I was I was

854
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:42.679
<v Speaker 1>drilling down Ross. Do you know that there is literally

855
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a version of Politico Access, which is a business license,

856
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:49.199
<v Speaker 1>so it could be like for a whole division that

857
00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:52.599
<v Speaker 1>is a thirty four thousand dollars membership fee annually.

858
00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:54.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was reading about that yesterday because I was like,

859
00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand the math.

860
00:48:55.599 --> 00:48:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Here, right, how's this happened? Two hundred and thirty six

861
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:04.920
<v Speaker 1>premium level subscriptions averaging thirty four thousand. I'm assuming that

862
00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:08.039
<v Speaker 1>these are in the same way that like, my company

863
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:10.360
<v Speaker 1>may get a subscription for all of its workers to

864
00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:14.000
<v Speaker 1>a particular periodical that's what we're talking about. And they

865
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:16.000
<v Speaker 1>had two hundred and thirty six, So two hundred thirty

866
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:20.679
<v Speaker 1>six I'm assuming different agencies, organizations and groups. Eight point

867
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:26.639
<v Speaker 1>one million make it make sense? You can't. You can

868
00:49:26.639 --> 00:49:30.880
<v Speaker 1>just run around with signs going dots dot. They're they're

869
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:38.119
<v Speaker 1>destroying democracy. This is honestly, this is almost unrecoverable, at

870
00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:43.239
<v Speaker 1>least within a generation. And I have seen some that

871
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:46.280
<v Speaker 1>are willing to really kind of try to duck this issue,

872
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:48.360
<v Speaker 1>which is probably good advice because you're not going to

873
00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:51.800
<v Speaker 1>be able to debate it out. But you've had members

874
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:53.480
<v Speaker 1>of Congress that have been trying to do like a

875
00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:56.679
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hour filibuster and they do like two or

876
00:49:56.719 --> 00:49:58.760
<v Speaker 1>three hours they tag out to their buddy and then

877
00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:01.719
<v Speaker 1>they go on like Instagram those videos going. My voice hurts,

878
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:04.119
<v Speaker 1>but it's what we have to do. Yeah, because the

879
00:50:04.119 --> 00:50:05.159
<v Speaker 1>bottom has fallen out.

880
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:06.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

881
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:08.760
<v Speaker 2>It makes you realize like the protesters paid for the

882
00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:12.320
<v Speaker 2>pundit's paid for, the social media commenters paid for the party,

883
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:14.760
<v Speaker 2>paid for the propaganda, like all of it, it's all

884
00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:15.199
<v Speaker 2>paid for.

885
00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:18.760
<v Speaker 1>It's so real. It's so third world man, it is,

886
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:22.639
<v Speaker 1>and it's like in it. But it hurts. But it

887
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:25.599
<v Speaker 1>makes sense, right, it does make sense one hundred percent.

888
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:29.360
<v Speaker 1>But it hurts because even though you knew to some extent,

889
00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:32.639
<v Speaker 1>even if it's just favoritism based on political ideo, like

890
00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:37.519
<v Speaker 1>you knew what was happening, to see it so corporate

891
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:41.840
<v Speaker 1>right in the way that it's going shows you how

892
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:47.960
<v Speaker 1>it shows you how fragile what we have here, because

893
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:49.880
<v Speaker 1>it is so different, how fragile it is.

894
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean for years, right, we've seen this where something

895
00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:54.280
<v Speaker 2>will come out and then you have all the networks

896
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:58.880
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, these publications, the talking points, all the things,

897
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:01.320
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, how is this post? When was when

898
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:03.079
<v Speaker 2>were the talking points then out? And they're like, oh,

899
00:51:03.079 --> 00:51:05.760
<v Speaker 2>you're crazy, that's not happening. Well, apparently they're all in

900
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:06.280
<v Speaker 2>the payroll.

901
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:12.039
<v Speaker 1>So it's the wholesale desolation of traditional media or who

902
00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:17.239
<v Speaker 1>was considered, you know, the the media of record, and

903
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:20.199
<v Speaker 1>of course people going in there, because here's how you

904
00:51:20.239 --> 00:51:24.239
<v Speaker 1>get it. You get somebody who goes into government service, right,

905
00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and they look at they look at it, and they go, well,

906
00:51:28.440 --> 00:51:30.760
<v Speaker 1>look i'm doing this. I'm not making as much money

907
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:33.719
<v Speaker 1>as I think I should be making, so I'm just

908
00:51:33.719 --> 00:51:36.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna get a little here. And then another person go,

909
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get a little here, and how about I

910
00:51:38.519 --> 00:51:41.320
<v Speaker 1>parlay this gig and me and about four others will

911
00:51:41.320 --> 00:51:44.440
<v Speaker 1>pitch some sort of proposal and now we're directors for

912
00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:46.880
<v Speaker 1>this thing and we'll get a little here. But it's fun.

913
00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:52.880
<v Speaker 1>And then you do that times one hundred thousand. That's

914
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:56.800
<v Speaker 1>how you get here. Everybody. Everybody's stealing a little candy

915
00:51:56.800 --> 00:51:58.800
<v Speaker 1>out of the friez, you know, a little other people's

916
00:51:58.880 --> 00:51:59.960
<v Speaker 1>lunch out of the break room.

917
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:03.000
<v Speaker 2>It also explain so to some extent, like like political polling,

918
00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:05.719
<v Speaker 2>because you got to realize Politico and Reuters and these.

919
00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Eight that's what that's why I said, it's especially injurious

920
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:12.119
<v Speaker 1>not just polling You're absolutely right, but there is there

921
00:52:12.119 --> 00:52:15.639
<v Speaker 1>are very few news outlets, smaller news outlets in the country.

922
00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:20.000
<v Speaker 1>They are not AP members. When I was doing news,

923
00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:22.880
<v Speaker 1>we were in Minnesota, we were AP news, right, you know.

924
00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:25.119
<v Speaker 2>That's that's that's where you would go go to, yeah

925
00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:25.800
<v Speaker 2>for like your.

926
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:28.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's how we'd bill our newscast for any state

927
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:31.280
<v Speaker 1>wider national stuff to couple our local coverage.

928
00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:32.920
<v Speaker 2>But do you see these polling that would come out,

929
00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:36.800
<v Speaker 2>like you know, Harris plus eight plus six plus seven.

930
00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:38.760
<v Speaker 2>You're like, where are these people getting their numbers from?

931
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:40.880
<v Speaker 2>These can't be real. And then you'd have like outliers.

932
00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:44.480
<v Speaker 2>They'd we call it like Rasmussen or Atlas, which actually

933
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:46.199
<v Speaker 2>ended up being the most accurate, And you're like, well,

934
00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:48.079
<v Speaker 2>these people are crazy. Those are fringe.

935
00:52:49.960 --> 00:52:52.440
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a wholesale. And I know some people go,

936
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:55.079
<v Speaker 1>I knew it all along. No, no, no, no, But

937
00:52:55.159 --> 00:52:58.519
<v Speaker 1>you didn't. You thought it. Now you know it. See

938
00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:01.800
<v Speaker 1>that's the difference, Right, you thought it and you were right,

939
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:07.480
<v Speaker 1>but now you know it, and it's worse somehow if

940
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you had any positive if you weren't fully gone in mind.

941
00:53:12.199 --> 00:53:14.599
<v Speaker 2>It reminds me of these shows like the old cheater Show,

942
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:17.320
<v Speaker 2>remember the Cheater Show, or like I think she's cheating, right,

943
00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and they would they would actually see the evidence.

944
00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:21.440
<v Speaker 1>It's even worse, right, And every one of those women

945
00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:23.440
<v Speaker 1>is like I like to have sex and parking lots

946
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:26.400
<v Speaker 1>with bright lights around it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, every single

947
00:53:26.440 --> 00:53:29.480
<v Speaker 1>one of them. Not at all stage. No, it's worse,

948
00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:33.199
<v Speaker 1>it's worse. And then you start going, how do you

949
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:36.400
<v Speaker 1>fix it? Sure, you go ahead and purge all of it,

950
00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:39.360
<v Speaker 1>but how do you fix it? And then you see

951
00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:41.960
<v Speaker 1>these Let me just read you because I retweeted this

952
00:53:41.960 --> 00:53:45.159
<v Speaker 1>this morning mostly to mock this dude, but you know,

953
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:48.239
<v Speaker 1>I saw a thousand of these tweets yesterday and they

954
00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:50.960
<v Speaker 1>all kind of worded like this, The richest man on

955
00:53:51.039 --> 00:53:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Earth is dismantling the organization that feeds the poorest children

956
00:53:54.880 --> 00:53:57.840
<v Speaker 1>on earth. Right. That was the talking point that went out.

957
00:53:58.039 --> 00:54:02.360
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing in that that's accurate. Right. The perception was

958
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:04.880
<v Speaker 1>you're feeding kids. Less than ten percent of the money

959
00:54:04.920 --> 00:54:06.440
<v Speaker 1>was getting to people on the ground, and a lot

960
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:11.079
<v Speaker 1>of it wasn't feeding kids, right. It was putting you know,

961
00:54:11.239 --> 00:54:15.440
<v Speaker 1>plays together, or trying to get gender options put on ballots, right,

962
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:21.639
<v Speaker 1>or enriching people like Ibraham Kendy the Boston University who,

963
00:54:21.719 --> 00:54:24.039
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I guess he's leaving Boston University. They're

964
00:54:24.079 --> 00:54:31.480
<v Speaker 1>cashing out on that dude. He's out because it's been revealed. Man,

965
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and everybody's scrambling to not to pretend like they were

966
00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:37.559
<v Speaker 1>not part of the problem. But everyone was feeding at

967
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:43.599
<v Speaker 1>the trough. But the problem is there's too many stories

968
00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:49.039
<v Speaker 1>coming out too fast to do anything about it. So

969
00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:52.760
<v Speaker 1>all you can do is threaten lawsuits, have your little filibuster,

970
00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:55.039
<v Speaker 1>put tweets out. And by the way, that dude who

971
00:54:55.039 --> 00:54:57.440
<v Speaker 1>tweeted that Mohammed Sofa, I just the first thing I

972
00:54:57.519 --> 00:54:59.159
<v Speaker 1>do is and you should do this. If you see

973
00:54:59.159 --> 00:55:02.679
<v Speaker 1>a tweet like that, go click on their bio CEO

974
00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:09.039
<v Speaker 1>Diplomat Relations Main Representative United Nations ECOSOC Council and accredited

975
00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:13.079
<v Speaker 1>UN GENEVA office. That dude clearly was feeding at the trough,

976
00:55:14.079 --> 00:55:17.840
<v Speaker 1>or at least he's feeding at ud trough. That is

977
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:21.679
<v Speaker 1>similar to what is being undone the US version of

978
00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:27.719
<v Speaker 1>it every single time. And I posted a nice photo

979
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:33.639
<v Speaker 1>above him of some terrorists in a tent with USA

980
00:55:33.840 --> 00:55:37.679
<v Speaker 1>logoing on at holding a rocket launcher, probably getting ready

981
00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:40.800
<v Speaker 1>to fire that at American troops or something. I don't know.

982
00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:47.719
<v Speaker 1>This is where we are and it's damning and it's depressing,

983
00:55:48.840 --> 00:55:54.559
<v Speaker 1>but it's necessary. So we truck on. All right, Carolyn Leavett,

984
00:55:55.320 --> 00:55:58.679
<v Speaker 1>she's doing her part White House press conference yesterday. Here

985
00:55:58.719 --> 00:55:58.960
<v Speaker 1>we go.

986
00:55:59.079 --> 00:56:02.639
<v Speaker 12>Have you heard that type of violent, enticing rhetoric from

987
00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:06.199
<v Speaker 12>our side of the isle from Republican leaders on Capitol Hill.

988
00:56:06.519 --> 00:56:10.199
<v Speaker 1>She's talking about Trump's destroying democracy, They're starving kids, they're

989
00:56:10.280 --> 00:56:12.039
<v Speaker 1>killing old people. That kind of rhetoric.

990
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:15.639
<v Speaker 12>If you heard that type of violent, enticing rhetoric from

991
00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:19.239
<v Speaker 12>our side of the isle from Republican leaders on Capitol Hill,

992
00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:21.480
<v Speaker 12>I think there would be a lot more outrage in

993
00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:24.639
<v Speaker 12>this room today. It's unacceptable the comments that have been

994
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:27.760
<v Speaker 12>made by these Democrat leaders, and frankly, they don't even

995
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:30.719
<v Speaker 12>know what they're talking about. Because President Trump was an

996
00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:33.519
<v Speaker 12>elected with a mandate from the American people to make

997
00:56:33.639 --> 00:56:35.119
<v Speaker 12>this government more efficient.

998
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:39.480
<v Speaker 3>He campaigned across this country with Elon musk vowing that

999
00:56:39.599 --> 00:56:42.599
<v Speaker 3>Elon was going to head up the Department of Government Efficiency,

1000
00:56:42.800 --> 00:56:45.199
<v Speaker 3>and the two of them, with a great team around them,

1001
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:47.519
<v Speaker 3>were going to look at the receipts of this federal

1002
00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:51.119
<v Speaker 3>government and insure it's accountable to American taxpayers. That's all

1003
00:56:51.159 --> 00:56:52.199
<v Speaker 3>that is happening here.

1004
00:56:52.360 --> 00:56:54.119
<v Speaker 1>And for Democrat officials.

1005
00:56:53.639 --> 00:56:56.880
<v Speaker 12>To incite violence and encourage Americans to take to the

1006
00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:00.480
<v Speaker 12>streets is incredibly alarming, and they should be held accountable

1007
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:01.119
<v Speaker 12>for that rhetoric.

1008
00:57:01.559 --> 00:57:05.079
<v Speaker 1>It's it's and and and it's it's not going to

1009
00:57:05.199 --> 00:57:08.039
<v Speaker 1>end right. There are there are many that will go

1010
00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:11.519
<v Speaker 1>down with this ship, and and they will find different

1011
00:57:11.519 --> 00:57:13.800
<v Speaker 1>ways to go ahead and inject themselves and do things.

1012
00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:17.119
<v Speaker 1>But she's right, there's is there a person who was

1013
00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:19.840
<v Speaker 1>paying the least amount of attention to the election that

1014
00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:22.519
<v Speaker 1>didn't think, if you elect Trump, you're getting elon in

1015
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:28.039
<v Speaker 1>this jiha too, and and divorce yourself of the individual politics.

1016
00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever seen a president so rapidly promises kept.

1017
00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Now, listen, I voted for that. That's like what I

1018
00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:36.880
<v Speaker 2>voted for, But I did not expect it to be

1019
00:57:36.920 --> 00:57:41.639
<v Speaker 2>this amazing. Like, Okay, you wanted Mayham, but I wanted

1020
00:57:41.639 --> 00:57:44.239
<v Speaker 2>the guy from Argentinea're ripping the stuff off the board.

1021
00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:48.320
<v Speaker 1>And yelling outside out or yeah yeah, outside, get out,

1022
00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:52.280
<v Speaker 1>get out, get out. Yeah that's what you want. But

1023
00:57:52.440 --> 00:57:56.199
<v Speaker 1>this is that on steroids, man, And she didn't leave

1024
00:57:56.239 --> 00:57:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Politico alone.

1025
00:57:57.239 --> 00:57:59.880
<v Speaker 12>So upon coming out here to the briefing room, I

1026
00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:03.440
<v Speaker 12>was made aware of the funding from.

1027
00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:05.400
<v Speaker 1>You got to understand Politico, I think sits in the

1028
00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:10.599
<v Speaker 1>second row. They're right up there, So she's doing this

1029
00:58:10.639 --> 00:58:11.159
<v Speaker 1>to their.

1030
00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:14.960
<v Speaker 12>Face from USAID to media outlets, including Politico, who I

1031
00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:17.840
<v Speaker 12>know has a seat in this room. And I can

1032
00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:21.280
<v Speaker 12>confirm that the more than eight million taxpayer dollars that

1033
00:58:21.320 --> 00:58:24.760
<v Speaker 12>have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico on the

1034
00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:28.000
<v Speaker 12>American taxpayer's dying will no longer be happening. The DOGE

1035
00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:30.920
<v Speaker 12>team is working on canceling those payments. Now again, this

1036
00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:34.559
<v Speaker 12>is a whole of government effort to ensure that we

1037
00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:37.599
<v Speaker 12>are going line by line when it comes to the

1038
00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:41.440
<v Speaker 12>federal of government's books, and this president and his team

1039
00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:45.559
<v Speaker 12>are are making decisions across the board on do these

1040
00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:49.239
<v Speaker 12>receipts serve the interests of the American people. Is this

1041
00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:52.159
<v Speaker 12>a good use of the American taxpayers money? If it

1042
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:55.119
<v Speaker 12>is not, that funding will no longer be sent abroad

1043
00:58:55.199 --> 00:58:58.679
<v Speaker 12>and American taxpayers will see significant savings because of that effort.

1044
00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:01.719
<v Speaker 1>The worst out of the world yesterday had to be

1045
00:59:01.800 --> 00:59:04.599
<v Speaker 1>the cleaning crew of the White House Press briefing room

1046
00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:07.119
<v Speaker 1>having to get all the brown stains out of the

1047
00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:14.000
<v Speaker 1>chairs cuz they were squirming. Man, they were squirming. All right,

1048
00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:15.880
<v Speaker 1>let's get raised agic to make you square.

1049
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:20.199
<v Speaker 11>Very very very eloquent there with that well visual thanks,

1050
00:59:20.400 --> 00:59:21.440
<v Speaker 11>that was very eloquent.

1051
00:59:22.119 --> 00:59:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Very you just got you imagine I saw it being

1052
00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:26.639
<v Speaker 1>there in the second row and they're like, by the way,

1053
00:59:26.719 --> 00:59:29.679
<v Speaker 1>they bought eight million of subscriptions to your outlet. What

1054
00:59:29.719 --> 00:59:31.480
<v Speaker 1>do you think about that? You just got to sit there?

1055
00:59:32.239 --> 00:59:36.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, well, how to go now?

1056
00:59:36.159 --> 00:59:41.480
<v Speaker 11>Yesterday we talked about this anomaly, like most of us

1057
00:59:41.519 --> 00:59:43.760
<v Speaker 11>ended up in the forties. Yesterday the high Greensborough at

1058
00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:46.320
<v Speaker 11>the airport, the triad twelve thirty eight in the morning

1059
00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:49.320
<v Speaker 11>was fifty three forties in the afternoon, and Raleigh was

1060
00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:52.519
<v Speaker 11>fifty five. But that happened at six minutes after midnight.

1061
00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:56.239
<v Speaker 11>And now that northeast flow is done or more south southwest,

1062
00:59:56.239 --> 00:59:57.599
<v Speaker 11>and we've got a front to the west of us

1063
00:59:57.639 --> 01:00:01.079
<v Speaker 11>actually producing showers and thundershit hours just getting ready to

1064
01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:04.960
<v Speaker 11>come into the northern Wilkes and Yatkin counties, and it'll

1065
01:00:04.960 --> 01:00:06.840
<v Speaker 11>start trying to get south and east as we go

1066
01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:10.440
<v Speaker 11>through today. Milder weather that's kind of the headline. Mid

1067
01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:14.079
<v Speaker 11>upper sixties, a passing shower, thundershower this morning. Then I

1068
01:00:14.119 --> 01:00:16.679
<v Speaker 11>think we actually get some sun this afternoon, that we'll

1069
01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:19.360
<v Speaker 11>have another chance of showers, maybe an isolated storm tonight,

1070
01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:21.920
<v Speaker 11>load to mid fifties. Tomorrow probably the best day of

1071
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:24.119
<v Speaker 11>the next couple, as sun's going to be back mid

1072
01:00:24.199 --> 01:00:26.320
<v Speaker 11>upper sixties, and then we'll have a chance of rain

1073
01:00:26.360 --> 01:00:29.360
<v Speaker 11>for Saturday, with temperatures back into the lo to mid fifties,

1074
01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:31.519
<v Speaker 11>so we will get a little bit coore. But Sunday

1075
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:33.960
<v Speaker 11>looks good, lots of sunshine near seventy, and next week

1076
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:38.039
<v Speaker 11>looks unsettled. I would prep next week as cool and

1077
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:41.760
<v Speaker 11>kind of rainy. There's multiple systems, multiple week areas of

1078
01:00:41.800 --> 01:00:44.159
<v Speaker 11>low pressure. They're gonna race across the country. There'll be

1079
01:00:44.239 --> 01:00:46.559
<v Speaker 11>wintery precip to the north. We'll have chili rain here

1080
01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:49.920
<v Speaker 11>and that chili rain in the forecast each day next week.

1081
01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:52.639
<v Speaker 1>So it doesn't look great next week. Okay, all right,

1082
01:00:52.719 --> 01:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Well the fund's over, thank you, sir, appreciate that. Okay,

1083
01:00:55.559 --> 01:00:58.679
<v Speaker 1>all right, talk to you in an hour. And I

1084
01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>can't get over this pot ross. Did you see the

1085
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:03.039
<v Speaker 1>photo of the terrorists and the you said tent with

1086
01:01:03.079 --> 01:01:09.719
<v Speaker 1>their rocket launcher. I mean, it just encapsulates all of this.

1087
01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Although I would say this, can you imagine having to

1088
01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:15.239
<v Speaker 1>make your G hot video and get a sunburn? Is

1089
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>it a rocket launcher for the children?

1090
01:01:17.280 --> 01:01:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

1091
01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I probably will be pointed a children, But like,

1092
01:01:19.880 --> 01:01:22.519
<v Speaker 1>can you imagine you're making your G hot video? You're like, ah,

1093
01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:25.159
<v Speaker 1>the virgins are gonna be mine, here we go and

1094
01:01:25.280 --> 01:01:28.039
<v Speaker 1>you get a sunburn? No, you said, I said, no,

1095
01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:29.079
<v Speaker 1>we're not gonna allow that.

1096
01:01:29.239 --> 01:01:31.119
<v Speaker 10>I don't get your thoughts to the one thing that

1097
01:01:31.159 --> 01:01:33.719
<v Speaker 10>nobody's really talking about is you know they're talking about

1098
01:01:33.719 --> 01:01:35.280
<v Speaker 10>how the Democrats are losing in their mind.

1099
01:01:35.639 --> 01:01:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, all this stuff didn't.

1100
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:40.000
<v Speaker 10>Get passed by just the Democrats, and the Republicans are

1101
01:01:40.039 --> 01:01:43.000
<v Speaker 10>sitting on their hands not saying anything. I think Trump's

1102
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:46.239
<v Speaker 10>problem is he can't say anything, but he can't do

1103
01:01:46.239 --> 01:01:48.000
<v Speaker 10>anything to the Republicans right now because it needs their

1104
01:01:48.039 --> 01:01:49.239
<v Speaker 10>vote to get Sack to Pans.

1105
01:01:50.280 --> 01:01:52.599
<v Speaker 1>Well, but he doesn't have to. But here's what I like,

1106
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:55.599
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have to. Yes, you're absolutely right. Are there

1107
01:01:55.639 --> 01:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna be Republicans attached this one hundred percent? One hundred

1108
01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>thousand percent and it'll be a combination of things get

1109
01:02:02.039 --> 01:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that get passed, or people availing themselves of various things

1110
01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>there for political purposes. The Republicans are just doing what

1111
01:02:11.559 --> 01:02:14.039
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats, if they would, if they were smart, would do.

1112
01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Like the Democrats are leaning into this and that just

1113
01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:19.559
<v Speaker 1>drives the news cycle. The Republicans are gonna sit there

1114
01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:21.719
<v Speaker 1>and hope they would get burned. But if they were

1115
01:02:21.719 --> 01:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>doing this, then they should so.

1116
01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:27.719
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, if the Republicans are the Homer sense the meme

1117
01:02:27.760 --> 01:02:29.559
<v Speaker 10>where he disappears into the bush.

1118
01:02:29.519 --> 01:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, but I don't know it's going to be enough, man,

1119
01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that it's going to be enough. So

1120
01:02:34.440 --> 01:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>we shall we shall see. So all right, thanks for

1121
01:02:36.880 --> 01:02:41.679
<v Speaker 1>the call there, Anthony. Let's see here. Oh yeah, yeah,

1122
01:02:41.679 --> 01:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna play this audio for you real quick,

1123
01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll chat with Stephen Kent coming up at

1124
01:02:46.119 --> 01:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>eighth five and Political. Even while this is going on,

1125
01:02:49.480 --> 01:02:51.679
<v Speaker 1>Now you have to understand who you're dealing with, Like

1126
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:54.719
<v Speaker 1>the people of Political are not Musk fans, sure is

1127
01:02:54.719 --> 01:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>heck not Trump fans, and they're not quiet. Everything we

1128
01:02:57.440 --> 01:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>do is under fire. Elon Musk sits on Twitter every day,

1129
01:03:01.400 --> 01:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>or what the Political co founders saying, like we are

1130
01:03:04.320 --> 01:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the media. You are the media. My message to Elon

1131
01:03:08.119 --> 01:03:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Musk is both, you're not the media. You having god nasty, you,

1132
01:03:17.360 --> 01:03:21.119
<v Speaker 1>having a blue check mark, a Twitter handle in three

1133
01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:25.079
<v Speaker 1>hundred words of cleverness doesn't make you a reporter. You

1134
01:03:25.079 --> 01:03:28.519
<v Speaker 1>don't do that by popping off on Twitter. You don't

1135
01:03:28.559 --> 01:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>do that by having an opinion. You'd do it by

1136
01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:36.039
<v Speaker 1>doing the hard work. I mean, just in retrospect, you

1137
01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>can't tell me this, dude. And no, they were getting

1138
01:03:37.920 --> 01:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>eight million and subs either from the FEDS. There's no

1139
01:03:42.039 --> 01:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>way even if you just saw a report you went, really, really,

1140
01:03:44.800 --> 01:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>that's happening. If it wasn't even discussed, he knew, and

1141
01:03:49.199 --> 01:03:52.639
<v Speaker 1>he still sat up there in seven and he doesn't care.

1142
01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>And then they yesterday, in the middle of all this,

1143
01:03:55.039 --> 01:03:59.079
<v Speaker 1>they were continuing to run headlines like one of the

1144
01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:02.519
<v Speaker 1>things Trump signed you yesterday was the no women in

1145
01:04:02.599 --> 01:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>men's sports or no men in women's sports. I don't

1146
01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>remember what it's called. But and Politico's headline was Trump

1147
01:04:08.400 --> 01:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to sign order that could bar trans women from US

1148
01:04:12.519 --> 01:04:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Olympic participation. Trans women are not barred from Olympic their participation.

1149
01:04:18.639 --> 01:04:23.840
<v Speaker 1>They're barred from competing in the women's categories since they

1150
01:04:23.840 --> 01:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>are biologically male. So even with their death spasm here is,

1151
01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:33.159
<v Speaker 1>they were getting absolutely outed yesterday, they were still writing

1152
01:04:33.199 --> 01:04:39.199
<v Speaker 1>garbage headlines because they can't help themselves. They absolutely can't

1153
01:04:39.199 --> 01:04:44.159
<v Speaker 1>help themselves. ESPN, same deal. ESPN's out there and they're like,

1154
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:47.840
<v Speaker 1>what do they use assigned it birth? Because here here

1155
01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>it is the majority of people are done with all

1156
01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:57.079
<v Speaker 1>of this DODA radio programs. So it is that normal

1157
01:04:57.159 --> 01:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>time of the week when we welcome in our official

1158
01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>nerd correspondent, Stephen Kent, and we talk about Hollywood stuff

1159
01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and we'll do a little of that and you know,

1160
01:05:07.440 --> 01:05:13.239
<v Speaker 1>the the intersection of pop culture, sports, politics and the

1161
01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:17.079
<v Speaker 1>nerd component. But I'm telling you nerds haven't had a

1162
01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:20.719
<v Speaker 1>bigger week than they're having right now. Stephen Kent joining

1163
01:05:20.800 --> 01:05:26.239
<v Speaker 1>us Steven a ragtag group of zin and I'm assuming

1164
01:05:26.320 --> 01:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>extreme Mountain Dew enthusiasts with laptops are completely turning all

1165
01:05:32.519 --> 01:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>of the US government, our current news cycle in politics

1166
01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>upside down and correct me if I'm wrong. I got

1167
01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:42.719
<v Speaker 1>a feeling these dudes aren't even that political, and they're

1168
01:05:42.760 --> 01:05:45.920
<v Speaker 1>just seeing this as another big project they can tackle.

1169
01:05:46.039 --> 01:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>So what's going on maman.

1170
01:05:48.960 --> 01:05:52.159
<v Speaker 5>I mean I think, like you said, Zen Mountain Dew,

1171
01:05:52.199 --> 01:05:56.599
<v Speaker 5>they're probably all substackers and have Twitch channels like Ross.

1172
01:05:57.079 --> 01:05:59.239
<v Speaker 5>So you know this is this is a pretty pretty

1173
01:05:59.320 --> 01:06:01.719
<v Speaker 5>weird time to be in Washington, d C. When you've

1174
01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:04.519
<v Speaker 5>got a bunch of like you said, Zen adult zoomer

1175
01:06:04.599 --> 01:06:06.760
<v Speaker 5>is going through your paperwork and trying to find out

1176
01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:10.079
<v Speaker 5>where your money's been going. This has been pretty devastating

1177
01:06:10.239 --> 01:06:13.760
<v Speaker 5>for for the different agencies and for Politico. Man may

1178
01:06:13.800 --> 01:06:14.760
<v Speaker 5>have had quite a week.

1179
01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Politico. And and there's gonna be a bunch coming out.

1180
01:06:18.840 --> 01:06:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Uh you didn't get any You getn't any Patreon dollars?

1181
01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:24.119
<v Speaker 1>Did you? Are you cheesed? Are you mad?

1182
01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:24.880
<v Speaker 4>You know? I didn't.

1183
01:06:24.920 --> 01:06:27.760
<v Speaker 5>I didn't want to tell everybody this, but uh, you know,

1184
01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:31.679
<v Speaker 5>us ai d has been giving at least forty thousand.

1185
01:06:31.320 --> 01:06:34.400
<v Speaker 13>Dollars a year or two my geeky Stoics substack at

1186
01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:38.599
<v Speaker 13>geekstoics dot com. All yeah, all about stoicism, philosophy and

1187
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:41.920
<v Speaker 13>nerd culture. Pretty exciting. But that's going to be going

1188
01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:44.079
<v Speaker 13>away now thanks to thanks to elon.

1189
01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:46.599
<v Speaker 1>What a bad man, oh man, you get a grind

1190
01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:53.599
<v Speaker 1>that's very upsetting. So but like the and and there

1191
01:06:53.679 --> 01:06:57.519
<v Speaker 1>they went him impeached. El Green was doing that yesterday.

1192
01:06:57.800 --> 01:07:01.559
<v Speaker 1>But like, Wired, why are what was your like? What

1193
01:07:01.719 --> 01:07:06.280
<v Speaker 1>is Wired magazine? Isn't it? Isn't it about computers and stuff?

1194
01:07:06.320 --> 01:07:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Why are they literally doxing these guys?

1195
01:07:10.480 --> 01:07:15.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean Wired is a tech and culture outlet,

1196
01:07:15.199 --> 01:07:20.400
<v Speaker 5>and they're pretty influential in tech spaces. But you know,

1197
01:07:20.440 --> 01:07:22.920
<v Speaker 5>their bias has always been sort of looking at tech

1198
01:07:22.960 --> 01:07:26.320
<v Speaker 5>and culture from a pretty far left perspective, and they've

1199
01:07:26.400 --> 01:07:32.079
<v Speaker 5>made hay out of drawing attention to these young hires

1200
01:07:32.559 --> 01:07:37.400
<v Speaker 5>working around Elon Musk and doing these audits. It's obviously

1201
01:07:37.440 --> 01:07:41.440
<v Speaker 5>completely hypocritical. Most of Washington, DC is a bunch of

1202
01:07:41.480 --> 01:07:45.039
<v Speaker 5>twenty something year olds who are actually running the government

1203
01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:48.039
<v Speaker 5>while they're older colleagues are sort of kicking back and

1204
01:07:48.079 --> 01:07:50.920
<v Speaker 5>taking time to relax and let the interns do the work.

1205
01:07:51.079 --> 01:07:55.280
<v Speaker 5>So it's just it's a weird double standard. There's nothing

1206
01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:59.960
<v Speaker 5>to be said about a twenty five year old doing audits.

1207
01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:03.519
<v Speaker 5>This is how things work. Most of Congress is actually run.

1208
01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:04.079
<v Speaker 13>By the aids.

1209
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:08.559
<v Speaker 5>The deals struck between congressmen are usually put together by

1210
01:08:08.599 --> 01:08:16.520
<v Speaker 5>their twenty two year older twenty six year old Staffersation.

1211
01:08:14.559 --> 01:08:17.880
<v Speaker 1>And the executive orders of the last presidency were probably

1212
01:08:17.960 --> 01:08:20.039
<v Speaker 1>assembled by twenty somethings.

1213
01:08:19.600 --> 01:08:23.079
<v Speaker 5>Including I mean, it's actually like, yeah, no joking. I mean,

1214
01:08:23.079 --> 01:08:26.439
<v Speaker 5>it's very likely that much of the presidenting has been

1215
01:08:26.520 --> 01:08:30.159
<v Speaker 5>getting done by White House aids and their late twenties,

1216
01:08:30.239 --> 01:08:34.680
<v Speaker 5>early thirties for the past three years, which is pretty alarming.

1217
01:08:35.239 --> 01:08:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, is it worse than you thought?

1218
01:08:39.800 --> 01:08:43.119
<v Speaker 5>You know, it probably is worse than I thought. I mean,

1219
01:08:43.159 --> 01:08:47.439
<v Speaker 5>I've been looking over the numbers for kind of USAID

1220
01:08:47.600 --> 01:08:50.800
<v Speaker 5>and then just general government spending on things like you know,

1221
01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:56.279
<v Speaker 5>Politico Pro subscriptions, you know, so kind of what's happened is.

1222
01:08:56.239 --> 01:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>They're a thirty four thousand dollars tier if I want

1223
01:08:58.800 --> 01:09:01.199
<v Speaker 1>to subscribe to your is that is that what the fo?

1224
01:09:01.319 --> 01:09:03.119
<v Speaker 1>You have a forty thousand dollars tier? Is that what

1225
01:09:03.119 --> 01:09:03.439
<v Speaker 1>that is?

1226
01:09:03.479 --> 01:09:06.399
<v Speaker 5>I never I never thought to offer a thirty thousand

1227
01:09:06.479 --> 01:09:10.159
<v Speaker 5>dollars tier for exclusive access to the paywaled content of

1228
01:09:10.199 --> 01:09:12.199
<v Speaker 5>geeky Stokes, But now I know that there.

1229
01:09:12.159 --> 01:09:13.279
<v Speaker 4>Might be a case for it.

1230
01:09:14.199 --> 01:09:17.640
<v Speaker 5>I will say, the paywald content for stuff like Politico Pro,

1231
01:09:18.239 --> 01:09:22.039
<v Speaker 5>it's really really, really valuable if you live and work

1232
01:09:22.079 --> 01:09:24.680
<v Speaker 5>in Washington, d C. I know this will blow the

1233
01:09:24.840 --> 01:09:28.760
<v Speaker 5>minds of people who aren't anywhere near the swamp. But

1234
01:09:28.880 --> 01:09:32.479
<v Speaker 5>the kind of information email access, the numbers that you

1235
01:09:32.520 --> 01:09:36.479
<v Speaker 5>can see about different agencies and congressional offices that are

1236
01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:41.880
<v Speaker 5>available through these services are really really valuable. But the

1237
01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:45.560
<v Speaker 5>numbers are just going to look really bad on the outside. Now,

1238
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:49.840
<v Speaker 5>the fact that USAID, you know, a humanitarian agency by

1239
01:09:49.840 --> 01:09:53.399
<v Speaker 5>and large, is paying for these subscriptions to the tune

1240
01:09:53.439 --> 01:09:56.039
<v Speaker 5>of forty four thousand dollars.

1241
01:09:56.600 --> 01:09:57.800
<v Speaker 4>That's not going to look good.

1242
01:09:57.880 --> 01:10:02.640
<v Speaker 5>But that multiple million dollar is really looking at all

1243
01:10:02.800 --> 01:10:08.000
<v Speaker 5>government subscriptions to Politico pro, and I think it is inappropriate.

1244
01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:11.279
<v Speaker 1>No, two hundred and sixty five or two hundred and

1245
01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:13.840
<v Speaker 1>sixty three, I think is the number they actually outline

1246
01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>individual transactions. So yeah, yeah, And to your point considering

1247
01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:22.399
<v Speaker 1>the agency, like, here's the thing, if the Democrat Senate

1248
01:10:23.680 --> 01:10:27.159
<v Speaker 1>Senate to whatever their pack is, whatever the big Senate

1249
01:10:27.279 --> 01:10:29.680
<v Speaker 1>pack is for the Democrat or the Republicans, if they

1250
01:10:29.680 --> 01:10:32.880
<v Speaker 1>want to spend forty thousand on political nobody cares. Even

1251
01:10:32.920 --> 01:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>though in a way, if you're a voter, you might

1252
01:10:34.640 --> 01:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>care because you probably contributed event if you support that party.

1253
01:10:39.119 --> 01:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>But some dude who's making nine hundred and sixty eight

1254
01:10:42.880 --> 01:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars to get an extra gender added to the

1255
01:10:46.119 --> 01:10:54.159
<v Speaker 1>Indonesian election, the Guatemalan election, assembling transgender operas in Colombia,

1256
01:10:55.760 --> 01:10:57.720
<v Speaker 1>the very and this is one dude who just went

1257
01:10:57.800 --> 01:11:02.279
<v Speaker 1>dark on his LinkedIn. He doesn't need that political subscription.

1258
01:11:03.000 --> 01:11:05.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's where it starts feeling like this is feeding

1259
01:11:06.000 --> 01:11:10.439
<v Speaker 1>the beast. It's an intangible thing where you can funnel money.

1260
01:11:10.479 --> 01:11:13.439
<v Speaker 1>This is where it starts looking money laundry, if that's

1261
01:11:13.479 --> 01:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>such a word, yeah, very much.

1262
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:19.840
<v Speaker 5>And it also it has to play a role in

1263
01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:22.840
<v Speaker 5>influence when it comes to media coverage. I mean just

1264
01:11:22.880 --> 01:11:26.199
<v Speaker 5>thinking about how the Department of Energy they extended a

1265
01:11:26.239 --> 01:11:30.720
<v Speaker 5>politico pro contract in June twenty twenty four years four

1266
01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:35.920
<v Speaker 5>hundred thousand dollars. When you think about these media organizations

1267
01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:38.840
<v Speaker 5>you have to pay all these journalists, and subscriptions and

1268
01:11:38.920 --> 01:11:41.760
<v Speaker 5>patronage from the government is going to be part of

1269
01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:47.359
<v Speaker 5>how they hire journalists to then cover the government. It's

1270
01:11:47.399 --> 01:11:50.920
<v Speaker 5>impossible for there not to be a consideration later on.

1271
01:11:51.000 --> 01:11:54.600
<v Speaker 5>And well, we don't want to tick off the secretary

1272
01:11:54.640 --> 01:11:57.439
<v Speaker 5>of the Department of Energy because she could pull a

1273
01:11:57.479 --> 01:12:00.720
<v Speaker 5>four hundred thousand dollars contract, which is the salary of

1274
01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:04.760
<v Speaker 5>the four journalists who cover the DOE. There's no way

1275
01:12:04.760 --> 01:12:07.319
<v Speaker 5>to get around this. And as someone who has used

1276
01:12:07.399 --> 01:12:12.479
<v Speaker 5>these subscriptions most of my professional life, you use them sparsely.

1277
01:12:12.640 --> 01:12:16.960
<v Speaker 5>They're very, very valuable, and they do bring in actual value,

1278
01:12:16.960 --> 01:12:19.279
<v Speaker 5>but you don't use them every single day. And so

1279
01:12:19.439 --> 01:12:22.279
<v Speaker 5>I think a lot of these things happen on autopilot.

1280
01:12:22.359 --> 01:12:25.119
<v Speaker 5>And you just are spending hundreds and hundreds of thousands

1281
01:12:25.159 --> 01:12:29.880
<v Speaker 5>of dollars on autopilot renewing contracts without even thinking about it.

1282
01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:33.319
<v Speaker 5>And this is the swamp ladies and gentlemen. It's money

1283
01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:36.640
<v Speaker 5>being spent and patroned out to people who are always

1284
01:12:36.640 --> 01:12:39.960
<v Speaker 5>expecting it to come in, and nobody ever audits it

1285
01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:42.319
<v Speaker 5>and says no more, we're not doing this.

1286
01:12:43.079 --> 01:12:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we deal with the snarl light. I had

1287
01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:49.439
<v Speaker 1>I had a charge here two weeks ago for go Daddy,

1288
01:12:50.079 --> 01:12:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and I had to yeah. And then I remembered I

1289
01:12:53.840 --> 01:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>because I own I like I own my name as

1290
01:12:56.800 --> 01:12:58.760
<v Speaker 1>U r L. Because you should just do that. If

1291
01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:01.039
<v Speaker 1>you do anything, public can get it, get a hold

1292
01:13:01.039 --> 01:13:03.239
<v Speaker 1>of it. But I and then I bought a couple

1293
01:13:03.319 --> 01:13:05.199
<v Speaker 1>other I forgot they were there, so I got nick

1294
01:13:05.279 --> 01:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>for like twenty two dollars. Right, this is this is

1295
01:13:08.680 --> 01:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>just government version of it. In a lot of cases,

1296
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>it's just that subscription you didn't cancel. But it's it's

1297
01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:18.279
<v Speaker 1>more than that because it's also the reason you did

1298
01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:21.680
<v Speaker 1>it in the first place. Which it's one thing to

1299
01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:24.319
<v Speaker 1>say that we need the data. I don't believe it's

1300
01:13:24.359 --> 01:13:26.399
<v Speaker 1>as pure all of those motives. I think a lot

1301
01:13:26.399 --> 01:13:29.079
<v Speaker 1>of it's like, oh, hey, my buddy, and as a journalists,

1302
01:13:29.079 --> 01:13:31.039
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, I support your endeavor. Here, let me buy

1303
01:13:31.079 --> 01:13:35.439
<v Speaker 1>a subscription. It's a lot like Bezos saying here's a

1304
01:13:35.479 --> 01:13:38.359
<v Speaker 1>million for your inauguration fund. Everyone knows what's up.

1305
01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:42.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and there's no way to get around how bad

1306
01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:46.199
<v Speaker 5>of a look this is for the media and Democrats

1307
01:13:46.239 --> 01:13:51.520
<v Speaker 5>who are outside the USAID headquarters and defending Politico and

1308
01:13:51.560 --> 01:13:55.439
<v Speaker 5>all these organizations with all their might. They don't stick

1309
01:13:55.560 --> 01:13:59.920
<v Speaker 5>up for everyday Americans like they love sticking up for

1310
01:14:00.039 --> 01:14:03.039
<v Speaker 5>federal agencies. You know, this is the same group of

1311
01:14:03.079 --> 01:14:07.920
<v Speaker 5>people who in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one rushed through

1312
01:14:07.960 --> 01:14:11.880
<v Speaker 5>the American Rescue Plan of Joe Biden, which sicked the

1313
01:14:12.039 --> 01:14:15.640
<v Speaker 5>IRS on people who use VENMO for more than six

1314
01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:19.279
<v Speaker 5>hundred dollars in transfers a year. I mean you have

1315
01:14:19.359 --> 01:14:22.279
<v Speaker 5>to now be in good with the irs if you've

1316
01:14:22.560 --> 01:14:26.439
<v Speaker 5>had six hundred dollars of transfers on Venmo and PayPal.

1317
01:14:27.039 --> 01:14:31.760
<v Speaker 5>They come after everyday people, your listeners for nothing. But

1318
01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:34.960
<v Speaker 5>they are outraised when someone tries to audit a federal

1319
01:14:35.000 --> 01:14:37.720
<v Speaker 5>agency and say, no, you can't have a four hundred

1320
01:14:37.720 --> 01:14:40.159
<v Speaker 5>thousand dollars contract for Politico.

1321
01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and again they spend one hundred there's one hundred million.

1322
01:14:44.800 --> 01:14:46.239
<v Speaker 1>This is do you follow a chef?

1323
01:14:46.359 --> 01:14:46.720
<v Speaker 8>Grule?

1324
01:14:46.960 --> 01:14:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Is that how you say his name on Twitter?

1325
01:14:48.680 --> 01:14:49.079
<v Speaker 4>Now?

1326
01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:54.199
<v Speaker 1>Okay, he's a he's an interesting follow Andrew Gruhle. He's

1327
01:14:54.239 --> 01:14:57.119
<v Speaker 1>a chef, but he's a restaurant owner in California, and

1328
01:14:57.439 --> 01:14:59.920
<v Speaker 1>he's he's long ago become sick of all of cal

1329
01:15:00.279 --> 01:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>news bureaucracy in the politics at large, and so he's

1330
01:15:03.000 --> 01:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a very interesting to follow. And so he went through

1331
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:08.720
<v Speaker 1>because he's got time, I guess, And he was able

1332
01:15:08.720 --> 01:15:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to locate one hundred million over the last five years

1333
01:15:13.039 --> 01:15:17.039
<v Speaker 1>that has been spent in some capacity to either push

1334
01:15:17.159 --> 01:15:20.079
<v Speaker 1>for laws successfully in some cases like in New York

1335
01:15:20.079 --> 01:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>where they're getting rid of the coal fired pizza ovens,

1336
01:15:23.159 --> 01:15:27.359
<v Speaker 1>but attacking pizza. They spend one hundred million dollars either

1337
01:15:27.399 --> 01:15:30.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to get laws passed, some successfully to make it

1338
01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:34.199
<v Speaker 1>harder to get pizza. This was a nutrition initiative, or

1339
01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:38.680
<v Speaker 1>to essentially try to shame you out of eating pizza.

1340
01:15:39.199 --> 01:15:41.600
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sorry, if there is a more unifying thing,

1341
01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:45.119
<v Speaker 1>one hundred million of my dollars to tell me not

1342
01:15:45.239 --> 01:15:48.079
<v Speaker 1>to eat pizza is a big screw you man. And

1343
01:15:48.159 --> 01:15:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's got across political boundaries.

1344
01:15:51.800 --> 01:15:53.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it certainly has to a lot of these

1345
01:15:53.640 --> 01:15:59.239
<v Speaker 5>same international organizations that are pushing these kinds of ideas

1346
01:15:59.279 --> 01:16:02.560
<v Speaker 5>throughout all these different agencies and media are the same

1347
01:16:02.680 --> 01:16:06.560
<v Speaker 5>people who are supporting the World Health Organization trying to

1348
01:16:06.560 --> 01:16:12.359
<v Speaker 5>make the entire world give up their their beer, their wine, their.

1349
01:16:12.119 --> 01:16:15.520
<v Speaker 4>Their alcohol of any kind. I mean, we just have.

1350
01:16:15.560 --> 01:16:19.119
<v Speaker 5>This very toxic relationship with all of these different international

1351
01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:23.159
<v Speaker 5>orgs who are trying to change culture top to bottom.

1352
01:16:23.600 --> 01:16:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and there's the CIA component there as well, you

1353
01:16:27.800 --> 01:16:32.159
<v Speaker 1>know which by which we know the CIA had with

1354
01:16:32.239 --> 01:16:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the Pakistan vaccine drive, which was more about them trying

1355
01:16:35.800 --> 01:16:38.279
<v Speaker 1>to get genetic data, not just to see who was

1356
01:16:38.319 --> 01:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>in that compound with bin laden, but really map the

1357
01:16:40.880 --> 01:16:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Middle East, and I understand the reasoning. They want it

1358
01:16:43.800 --> 01:16:46.520
<v Speaker 1>all right, so here is somebody we have data on

1359
01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>this wanted terrorists and we have a familial connection, and

1360
01:16:49.800 --> 01:16:51.760
<v Speaker 1>now that will help. But they did it under the

1361
01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:56.520
<v Speaker 1>guise of a vaccine program, which undermines legitimate medical programs.

1362
01:16:56.560 --> 01:17:01.199
<v Speaker 1>Like it's all so messy, and so Mike is considering

1363
01:17:01.279 --> 01:17:04.600
<v Speaker 1>all the ox is getting gord, whether it's three letter agencies,

1364
01:17:05.000 --> 01:17:09.159
<v Speaker 1>your local politician, activists who found themselves these push gigs.

1365
01:17:10.159 --> 01:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>My concern is like, somebody's going to go postal man,

1366
01:17:14.000 --> 01:17:16.399
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know what it looks like because this

1367
01:17:16.479 --> 01:17:18.880
<v Speaker 1>is so effectively laying it out.

1368
01:17:20.680 --> 01:17:23.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I do worry about that. I do believe that

1369
01:17:23.640 --> 01:17:26.479
<v Speaker 5>somebody is going to go postal here. And this is

1370
01:17:27.239 --> 01:17:30.960
<v Speaker 5>a radical, radical change in Washington, d C. This is

1371
01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:35.279
<v Speaker 5>what we're seeing what was promised in twenty sixteen with

1372
01:17:35.560 --> 01:17:39.039
<v Speaker 5>Drain the Swamp. This is it's actually finally happening. And

1373
01:17:39.520 --> 01:17:42.279
<v Speaker 5>to to go back real quick to your point about

1374
01:17:42.680 --> 01:17:46.479
<v Speaker 5>the CIA and agencies overseas that do humanitarian work. I've

1375
01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:49.359
<v Speaker 5>talked to you on this show about the new Showtime

1376
01:17:49.479 --> 01:17:52.760
<v Speaker 5>series that just finished its first series a season, The

1377
01:17:52.800 --> 01:17:56.479
<v Speaker 5>Agency starring Michael Fastbender. Yeah, this is a this is

1378
01:17:56.520 --> 01:18:00.359
<v Speaker 5>a CIA thriller that has a lot to do if Yeah,

1379
01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:04.600
<v Speaker 5>you know, maneuvering on the African continent in Ukraine, and

1380
01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:07.560
<v Speaker 5>you know that there's a main character of the show

1381
01:18:07.600 --> 01:18:12.560
<v Speaker 5>who is undercover CIA acting as a humanitarian doctor on

1382
01:18:12.600 --> 01:18:16.720
<v Speaker 5>the warfront in Ukraine and carrying out operations against the

1383
01:18:16.800 --> 01:18:20.640
<v Speaker 5>Russians out of a hospital wearing you know, nurse scrubs.

1384
01:18:21.239 --> 01:18:24.279
<v Speaker 5>And this is actually how it works, and it puts

1385
01:18:24.359 --> 01:18:29.960
<v Speaker 5>real humanitarian agencies in danger when intelligence agencies are using

1386
01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:33.840
<v Speaker 5>things like the USAID and vaccine drives to push foreign

1387
01:18:33.880 --> 01:18:37.880
<v Speaker 5>policy agendas, because then those people all become suspects to

1388
01:18:37.960 --> 01:18:42.039
<v Speaker 5>our enemies and people do less good and that's not

1389
01:18:42.159 --> 01:18:43.600
<v Speaker 5>how we should be doing business.

1390
01:18:44.000 --> 01:18:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and there are you can't, I believe, correct me

1391
01:18:46.760 --> 01:18:49.039
<v Speaker 1>if I'm wrong, but you can't. There are some big

1392
01:18:49.079 --> 01:18:52.640
<v Speaker 1>AID agencies where if you worked for the federal US government,

1393
01:18:52.680 --> 01:18:55.520
<v Speaker 1>you can't work for that agency if you ever worked.

1394
01:18:55.319 --> 01:18:58.319
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, yeah, Now it puts the target on everybody's back.

1395
01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're just like, I'm sorry, we can't hire you

1396
01:19:00.520 --> 01:19:03.800
<v Speaker 1>even if because you worked in Washington, even in probably

1397
01:19:03.840 --> 01:19:07.199
<v Speaker 1>a mundane capacity. They're just they don't want those beams crossing.

1398
01:19:08.000 --> 01:19:10.319
<v Speaker 5>And I am now I mean if if yeah, I mean,

1399
01:19:10.359 --> 01:19:12.760
<v Speaker 5>if you're going to take a job on the front

1400
01:19:12.800 --> 01:19:15.279
<v Speaker 5>in Ukraine and they see in your background any sort

1401
01:19:15.319 --> 01:19:19.319
<v Speaker 5>of Russian officer or agencies that you worked in Washington, DC,

1402
01:19:19.479 --> 01:19:22.000
<v Speaker 5>that you lived in northern Virginia, they're going to think

1403
01:19:22.039 --> 01:19:24.800
<v Speaker 5>that this person is probably an asset and you're going

1404
01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:27.399
<v Speaker 5>to be under extra scrutiny as well as your entire team.

1405
01:19:27.479 --> 01:19:30.119
<v Speaker 5>And you just make this point in general to say

1406
01:19:30.119 --> 01:19:34.560
<v Speaker 5>that the USAID is what their critics say they are.

1407
01:19:34.600 --> 01:19:38.039
<v Speaker 5>They are a front group for intelligence operations and foreign

1408
01:19:38.079 --> 01:19:42.520
<v Speaker 5>policy work by the deep state, and they do things

1409
01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:46.119
<v Speaker 5>that on paper are good, but this is not the

1410
01:19:46.199 --> 01:19:49.000
<v Speaker 5>way that we should be doing the work of intelligence

1411
01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:50.039
<v Speaker 5>and foreign policy.

1412
01:19:50.640 --> 01:19:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I got two minutes left. I got to pivot to

1413
01:19:52.760 --> 01:19:56.119
<v Speaker 1>this because it comes down to does this hasten others

1414
01:19:56.199 --> 01:19:58.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of trying to divorce themselves of this, which I

1415
01:19:58.720 --> 01:20:01.000
<v Speaker 1>can I think it does right because nobody wants to

1416
01:20:01.000 --> 01:20:05.880
<v Speaker 1>get tangled in this. So the oscars are you following

1417
01:20:05.920 --> 01:20:08.880
<v Speaker 1>this where you have a quote prominent actors who are

1418
01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:13.159
<v Speaker 1>trying to organize this picture about the transgender cartel leader,

1419
01:20:13.239 --> 01:20:15.560
<v Speaker 1>which I want the thing to be called El Chopo,

1420
01:20:15.680 --> 01:20:20.600
<v Speaker 1>but I missed out to win all thirteen nominated categories.

1421
01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:23.960
<v Speaker 1>To send a message to Trump, you want to talk

1422
01:20:23.960 --> 01:20:27.119
<v Speaker 1>about seppuku via the oscars? What are these folks doing?

1423
01:20:27.199 --> 01:20:29.479
<v Speaker 1>By the way, the record holder is eleven for three

1424
01:20:29.520 --> 01:20:33.520
<v Speaker 1>different films. Thirteen would be the new record. You think

1425
01:20:33.520 --> 01:20:35.600
<v Speaker 1>they'll actually do that? Do you think they'll be that

1426
01:20:35.760 --> 01:20:38.039
<v Speaker 1>dumb to alienate more of their audience?

1427
01:20:39.119 --> 01:20:41.399
<v Speaker 5>Are we talking about Amelia Perez?

1428
01:20:41.960 --> 01:20:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Do you think they'll do it? Because they're lobbying

1429
01:20:45.840 --> 01:20:46.159
<v Speaker 1>for it.

1430
01:20:47.199 --> 01:20:50.720
<v Speaker 5>Of course they'll do it, Casey, are you crazy?

1431
01:20:50.880 --> 01:20:51.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

1432
01:20:51.359 --> 01:20:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Man, And it will be beating out ben Her Titanic

1433
01:20:55.199 --> 01:20:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and Return of the King, which currently hold the record

1434
01:20:58.680 --> 01:21:02.359
<v Speaker 1>for eleven wins. We'll see. We got about a month

1435
01:21:02.399 --> 01:21:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to go. But and Ross is busy that day. He

1436
01:21:05.039 --> 01:21:06.600
<v Speaker 1>told me he's not be able to watch it. So

1437
01:21:07.159 --> 01:21:10.239
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be our oscar guy. Okay, sorry, I

<v Speaker 1>can't wait falls to you all right, there you go,
