1 00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:28,239 Speaker 1: And welcome one and all to the Big Podcast on 2 00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:33,159 this Friday. Today's the twenty first day of November, Year 3 00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:36,560 of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. My name is Tom Sullivan. 4 00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:43,799 And while we are recording this before ma'am Donnie gets 5 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,520 to the White House, so they're supposed to have a 6 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,920 meeting at three o'clock this afternoon, and a lot of 7 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,039 people are speculating about what's going to happen. I mean, 8 00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:58,679 there's a lot of people. And besides that, the whole 9 00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:01,880 thing about socialism, I want to get into that with 10 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:07,599 you as well, because it is growing. Obviously, ma'm Donnie 11 00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:13,959 is a iconic symbol of socialism growing in America. Nobody 12 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,840 ever thought when we first heard about him that he 13 00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:21,560 would actually win, and he won easily. And he's not 14 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,159 the only one I've told you about. The new mayor 15 00:01:24,239 --> 00:01:29,439 elect in Seattle, same thing. She went up against a Democrat, 16 00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:34,480 just like New York City did, and the socialist won. 17 00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:41,560 And there's others that are applying for positions for offices. 18 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,680 We've got a guy who is filed to take on 19 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,040 Jakeem Jefferies in Brooklyn who is a Democrat socialist. But 20 00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,439 we'll get into all of that as we roll through 21 00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:00,040 the podcast today, Let's start with the principles in this 22 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,560 meeting President Trump, and well, yeah, President Trump, and then 23 00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:09,719 uh Zorn Bondami, Well, I don't really know. 24 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: He's got a different philosophy. He's a little bit different. 25 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,599 I give a lot of credit for the run. They 26 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,120 did a successful run, and we all know that runs 27 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,719 are not easy. But I think we'll get along fun 28 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,680 Like we're looking for the same thing. We want to 29 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,599 make New York strong. 30 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 3: I want to just speak plainly to the president about 31 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,039 what it means to actually stand up for New Yorkers 32 00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:32,439 and the way in which New Yorkers are struggling to 33 00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:35,319 afford the city and frankly, cost of living is something 34 00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:37,280 that I heard time and time again from New Yorkers 35 00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:38,960 about why they voted for Donald Trump. 36 00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole thing about the cost of living and 37 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,759 affordability is not unique to New York City. It's it's 38 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,000 a very expensive city, but it's it's a topic that 39 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,360 has been around for a long time, but it seems 40 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,639 to be really hitting the all the top notes right 41 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,639 now in many places across this country. David Axelrod, the 42 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,000 Democrat advisor to while he was top advisor to President Obama. 43 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,039 This is his view. 44 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, let's just note this is an 45 00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:15,520 extraordinary meeting because you have two larger than life characters, 46 00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:19,759 two guys who came from the outside and defeated the 47 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,280 political establishment in their own parties, Two who have run 48 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,479 populist campaigns, although you know, in different tones, and two 49 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:34,240 who have used each other as foils very effectively. But 50 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,479 the late Mario Cuomo once said that you campaign in 51 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,360 poetry and governed in prose. These days you campaign in battery, 52 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,599 verbal battery, and then have to govern in prose. And 53 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,439 the question is whether they sit down with each other 54 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,319 and focus on the things that they can agree on, 55 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,479 or whether they focus on the things they disagree on. 56 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,120 There should be plenty of things that they can talk 57 00:03:57,159 --> 00:03:59,919 about and make some progress on. A lot of them 58 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,560 have to do with public works projects that have been 59 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,240 held up by the president. The Gateway tunnel from Jersey 60 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,879 to New York very important that's been held up, a 61 00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:16,319 Penn Station renovation, the Second Avenue subway. These are big, 62 00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:20,040 important economic engines for the City of New York. And 63 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,800 there are other funding issues to talk about as well. 64 00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:26,560 So there are places they can make progress. And I 65 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,879 think it's encouraging that they're going to hold this meeting 66 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,639 in private, because you tend to get more done when 67 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,079 the cameras aren't on, and you can be candid with 68 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,360 each other. If I were Mom, Donnie, I would say 69 00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:43,360 to Trump, listen, you can beat my brains in and 70 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,759 I can beat your brains in, but let's have a 71 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,879 relationship where we can pick up the phone and talk 72 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,000 to each other as well. And I think the President 73 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,920 has been receptive to that with others. Let's see if 74 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:55,959 he is in this case. 75 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,519 Speaker 1: I think act Rod made a great point about that 76 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,319 these are two populist they're from They disagree with each 77 00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:06,399 other on almost everything, but they both are not the 78 00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:11,040 old school politicians. We got tired of voting for establishment politicians, 79 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,079 so we're voting for these people that are populists, and 80 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,199 that's not normal when you look at political history. So 81 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,079 you've got two people that both bucked their own system, 82 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,600 beat people in their own party to be populous leaders 83 00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:32,920 of their parties. So if they do allow cameras into 84 00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:37,600 the meeting, what will the posturing be like? 85 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 4: Back to exceron, look, I think this is the tricky 86 00:05:42,519 --> 00:05:47,720 NAVI pass to navigate here is they both have constituencies 87 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,680 and bases, and they both have done well or as 88 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,040 politically because they're viewed as authentic. I don't think mom 89 00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:59,279 Donnie can go in there and concede on issues that 90 00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:03,519 are like immigration, that are very very important to him 91 00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:06,079 and important to people who have voted for him. I 92 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,160 don't think he would do that. But and I don't 93 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,279 think the President's going to concede on some of those 94 00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:14,000 issues either. Like I said, the question is do they 95 00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:17,680 choose to focus on those things that they can agree 96 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:23,399 on and listen, they're both very adroit performers, and my senses, 97 00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:26,399 the president will want to get you know, he'll want 98 00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:29,319 to get a sense of the temperature during that meeting, 99 00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:32,800 and then he'll make a decision as to whether the 100 00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:35,079 cameras are going to be welcome or not. 101 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: So. 102 00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:41,959 Speaker 1: Mark Penn, the Democrat polster who advises Democrats on campaigns, 103 00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:45,839 took a look at this and his reaction. 104 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 5: Well, between the possibilities of love fest, hunch fast, shout fast, 105 00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:56,399 there are a lot of possibilities of how this thing 106 00:06:56,519 --> 00:07:00,000 will will turn out. Personally, I think there's no question 107 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,959 that Mandami will go in and then come out and 108 00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:05,279 then blast the president on something. That's what I would 109 00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:09,360 normally expect. That's what typically happens in these things. The 110 00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:13,480 President reaches out in good faith, he likes to meet 111 00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:17,839 with everybody, and he is I think it's a little surprising. 112 00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:21,839 I think what happened, you know, yesterday with this Park 113 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:27,360 East Synagogue event, where essentially Midami condemned the synagogue for 114 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,040 violating international law rather than the antisemitic protesters, is something 115 00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:36,920 the President's got to raise and not let slip by here, 116 00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:39,360 and it'll be interesting to see the reaction to that. 117 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 6: Do you think President Trump should do that in the 118 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,399 on camera portion if they do open it up to press. 119 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 5: I think yes, I do think that. You that here 120 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:59,160 he's mayor elect, every single major elected, contested Republican Democratic 121 00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:03,199 official condemned to what happened, except really the really weak, 122 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,639 incredibly watered down statement that he made through a press eight. 123 00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:09,920 I would be surprised if the President didn't challenge him 124 00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:12,480 externally or internally or both. 125 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,319 Speaker 1: What Mark's talking about there is a kind of a 126 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,959 local news story here in New York. There was a 127 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,439 big protest outside Historic Synagogue on Park Avenue last night 128 00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:27,600 and this is a group was having a meeting of 129 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:33,799 recruiting Israelis to go to Israel, and a whole bunch 130 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,720 of anti Semits, anti Israel, you name it, showed up 131 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,120 and the police were called. It was a pretty large crowd, 132 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,279 and everybody, like Mark said, the Democrats, the Republicans, every 133 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:52,159 public official condemned these people that were protesting, and man 134 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,799 Dommy just gave kind of a weak statement about it 135 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:01,639 through his press ad. So it's that seems like that's 136 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,960 what it's going to be like with ma'm donnie as 137 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,080 the mayor. But do they need each other in the 138 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,639 meeting today? Does Trump need ma'm donnie or mad Donnie 139 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:11,279 need Trump? 140 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 5: Well, do they need each other politically? I don't really know. 141 00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:17,320 I don't think the President's going to be reaching out 142 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,240 to Manda, That's right. So that's why this kind of 143 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,639 meeting is kind of going to be really interesting theater 144 00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:29,120 because their bases are both violent. Virtually it's strongly opposed 145 00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:32,000 to each other on virtually every single issue. Look, I 146 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,919 think to the extent the President needs to appear to 147 00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:38,440 be reaching out, toning down his rhetoric, this meeting is 148 00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:40,720 a good thing for him. I don't really know what 149 00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:43,440 it does for Mondonne unless he's trying to reach out. 150 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,240 But then he had an opportunity yesterday to show that 151 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,240 he could reach out to the Jewish community, and he 152 00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:48,759 did so. 153 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: Nicole Balataka, she is a Republican congresswoman that represents the 154 00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:59,480 borough of Staten Island and she was asked about the 155 00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:02,559 meeting of the White House today and she was asked, well, wait, 156 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,960 you know, Ma'm Donnie's going to ask for federal money 157 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,120 and are you going to give federal money to this 158 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,720 Democrat socialist. 159 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 7: Well, look, I think that it's one thing to say 160 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,799 we're not going to give money to fund a socialist 161 00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:18,159 and communist agenda. We're not going to give money so 162 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,559 New York City can purchase private properties and tournament to communes, 163 00:10:21,639 --> 00:10:24,960 or purchase supermarkets and have them be government run or 164 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:25,960 sees the means of production. 165 00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: Those are things that mont Donnie wants. 166 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 7: However, when it comes to public safety, counter terrorism, a 167 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,600 public housing, transportation, infrastructure, and hospitals, we're going to fight 168 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,360 for our fair share. 169 00:10:38,519 --> 00:10:39,799 Speaker 1: Of taxpayer money. 170 00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 7: And so I've had this fight with some of my 171 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,200 colleagues already here in the House because they do want 172 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,679 to punish New York City because half of. 173 00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:47,799 Speaker 1: The voters voted for this guy. 174 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,279 Speaker 7: But guess what, the other half did it and we 175 00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:52,360 shouldn't suffer as a result. And I'm going to be 176 00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:54,519 as the only New York City member representing our city 177 00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:56,960 in Washington, fighting to make sure that New York City 178 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,679 gets what it needs, by the same time pushing back 179 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,879 on my Donnie's crazy radical agenda. 180 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,639 Speaker 1: So today, meantime, over at the US Capital, Maria Salazar, 181 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,039 the congressman from Florida, she sponsored a resolution. It's not 182 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,559 a law, not a bill, it's a resolution, and it 183 00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:23,000 was a resolution denouncing socialism, and it passed in a 184 00:11:23,039 --> 00:11:28,080 big way. She is the daughter of Cuban immigrants, and 185 00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:31,720 so she was she's very much up to speed about 186 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,519 what happens with communism, and so it passed on a 187 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,960 bipartisan vote two eighty five to ninety eight. All of 188 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,440 the Republicans voted for this resolution to denounce socialism, and 189 00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:49,399 on the Democrat side, about half voted for it and 190 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,279 half voted against it. One of them was Congressman Jim McGovern. 191 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 5: So I cannot vote for a resolution they can be 192 00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:01,799 interpreted as condemning Medicare as a socialist policies. 193 00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:06,279 Speaker 8: Those are social programs. That is not that socialism is 194 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,039 going to be the ideology that we're going to be 195 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,200 following socialism. Socialism is tied to communism, period. 196 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:21,159 Speaker 1: That was Maria Salazar basically educating Jim McGovern. Listen, there's 197 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:26,399 no educational smart or IQ test for people in Washington, 198 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,840 d C. In high office that make the laws. And 199 00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:33,000 Maria Salazar had to educate Jim McGovern on the fact 200 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,320 that that social programs are not the same as socialism. 201 00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:41,840 So half the Democrats voted for the resolution. Half of 202 00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:45,120 them were with Jim McGovern and said, I can't vote 203 00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:49,000 for that. Back to well in Washington, d C. There 204 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,559 is yet another Democrat socialist that is looking to become 205 00:12:53,879 --> 00:12:57,080 a higher office holder, women by the name of Deanice 206 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,360 Lewis George. She's currently on the d City Council. She 207 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,360 has thrown their hat in the ring to become mayor 208 00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:10,120 of Washington, d C. So we may have a socialist 209 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,080 mayor of our nation's capital. We've got a socialist mayor 210 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,879 to be of our nation's largest city. We've got a 211 00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:27,279 socialist candidate going up against Hakeem Jeffreys. The list is growing, folks, 212 00:13:27,799 --> 00:13:32,120 it just is all right, let's switch coast. Let's go 213 00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:36,240 out to the West coast, where there is a bunch 214 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,000 of people that have thrown their hat into the ring 215 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,320 to be the governor of the state of California. Newsom 216 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,879 is termed out. They have a law in California you 217 00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:50,159 can only do two terms. And so that's fine with 218 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,919 him because that's all he wanted to do, because he 219 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,080 wants to be president somedays. So he's getting himself all 220 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,840 ready for that race. But one of the people that 221 00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:03,360 threw his hat into the did so on Jimmy Kimmel's 222 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:09,600 show last night. Yes, none other than Eric Swollwell.

It was mister boring. I 257 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,200 want to raise this. I want to raise it. And 258 00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:42,519 did you hear what he was basically wanted? Why he 259 00:15:42,559 --> 00:15:46,639 wants to run for governor so he can fight Donald Trump. No, no, no, 260 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,320 no no. If you want to be a governor, you 261 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,440 want to you want to focus on the state and 262 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,639 what you could do for the state and for the 263 00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:56,600 for the people that live in your state. But he 264 00:15:56,759 --> 00:16:00,600 is focused on He's obsessed like a lot of themocrats are. 265 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,399 He's obsessed with fighting, fighting, fighting Donald Trump. But the 266 00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:08,639 thing that made me laugh was Kimil brought up It 267 00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:14,240 surprised me what I've been seeing Swuallwell making his television appear. 268 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,159 He'll show up on any television show at any time. 269 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,240 Two am on a Sunday morning, producer calls and says, 270 00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:24,159 we need you to be on MSNB. Oh it's not 271 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,440 MSNBC anymore, it's ms now. Yeah, they got spun off 272 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,759 from NBC. Anyway, need you at two am in the 273 00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:33,440 morning's under more. Sure, I'll do it. But he's been 274 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,960 showing up and he's got this god awful beard. It's 275 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,679 not even a beard. And Kimmel didn't care about what 276 00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:44,360 he said. He was rasing him about the beard. It 277 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,000 is he can't grow a beard. And if I may 278 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,279 this is I'm I'm going off on a tangent. I know, 279 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,960 I can see that there's as kind of a thing now, 280 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,600 it's kind of a style thing that men are growing beards, 281 00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:07,000 and I there are some that can grow some really 282 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,200 nice beards and they take care of them. They know 283 00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:13,000 how to trim him and do everything else. There's a 284 00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:17,559 lot of people that I see on television, guests, people 285 00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:20,319 that work on television that are trying to grow beards 286 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,440 and they just can't grow. Their beards look horrible. They 287 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:30,880 just can't grow a good looking beard. But A'swalwell's one 288 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,680 of them. So it was funny to me that Kimbill 289 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,119 didn't care about the fact that the guy's running for governor. 290 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,240 That's because he's not gonna win. I'll be shocked if 291 00:17:43,319 --> 00:17:47,039 the people of California vote for him. But instead he 292 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,880 focused on the fact that he's got allows you beard. So, 293 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,079 speaking of California, the number of people throwing Oh, by 294 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,039 the way, jelly roll for those of you that like 295 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,480 jelly Rolls music, I think he's a pretty good musician. 296 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,759 He's had a beard for a long time and he's 297 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,480 just shaved his off, so maybe he's going the opposite 298 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:11,559 way of the crowd. Anyway. Oh and one more thing 299 00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:14,279 about people on television. There's all of a sudden, some 300 00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:17,880 people showing up with cowboy hats and it looks so 301 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,880 weird because they're in a business suit and they got 302 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,359 a cowboy hat on. And anyway, that's another whole topic. 303 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:31,279 So about California, there there's like two Republicans. Steve Hilton, 304 00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:35,559 who used to be a commentator on Fox, originally worked 305 00:18:35,839 --> 00:18:38,799 for the Prime Minister of Great Britain. I think he's 306 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,440 I'm not sure if he's a US citizen. He was 307 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,440 a brit Maybe he's a US citizen now. And the 308 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,680 sheriff of Riverside County is also a Republican that's running. 309 00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:57,039 But otherwise you've got Eric's Walwell, you've got Katie Porter, 310 00:18:57,759 --> 00:19:02,039 the one who apparently when she was in Congress, nobody, 311 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,279 nobody liked her. She's got a really bad reputation. But 312 00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:11,160 let's see who else do we have on the list? Oh, 313 00:19:11,279 --> 00:19:17,119 the lieutenant governor of California. She decided to back out, 314 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,200 so she was in, but now she's not running. Also, 315 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,279 Kamala Harris. Remember they were wondering whether she was going 316 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,039 to run for governor and she has backed away. So 317 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,160 the poor people of California people that choose from uh, 318 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,079 you've got he's Antonio Villa Ragosa. He was the former 319 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,680 mayor of Los Angeles. I've known Antonio for a long 320 00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:43,240 time and he's a nice man, big Democrat, but he's 321 00:19:43,519 --> 00:19:48,319 he's too old. He's really too old. You've got the 322 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:53,839 former Attorney general of California and he was the Health 323 00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:57,000 and Human Services secretary under Biden. You never saw him 324 00:19:57,039 --> 00:20:01,680 even during COVID ever saw him. Javier be Era. So 325 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,599 there's a few names being thrown around, but it's going 326 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,319 to be an interesting race to watch as well. Yeah, 327 00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:14,880 I have a clip from Steve Hilton and this is 328 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,200 what he had to say about the whole race because 329 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,599 he's thrown his hat in the ring some months ago. 330 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 11: Well, first of all, there's candidates almost every day now 331 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,119 remember that song it's raining men. It feels like here 332 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,680 in California's raining Dems. We've had Tom Steier, we've had 333 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,079 Eric Swolwell. Just in the last couple of days, Rob 334 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,279 Bond to the state Attorney general Miadin, a corruption scandal 335 00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:35,440 apparently is going to be jumping in. 336 00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 4: Let's take them in turn. 337 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,039 Speaker 11: Tom Stier, are you serious as if what we really 338 00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:45,039 need in California is a billionaire climate fanatic whose policies 339 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,759 are exactly the reason we have the highest gas prices 340 00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:51,960 in the country, the highest electric bills everywhere except Hawaii, 341 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,839 the highest cost for housing and everything else driven by 342 00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:58,160 the exact policies he's been pushing for years, like we 343 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,000 want more of the same of that that has given 344 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,559 as the highest cost of living. Swollwell, you know what 345 00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:05,519 he said when he made his announcement his number one 346 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,039 job as California governor would be fighting President Trump. No, 347 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,119 we're sick of these people. We're sick of these Democrats 348 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,880 who have no interest in governing, no interest in solving 349 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,240 anybody's problems, and who've just made this state the fifty 350 00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:22,960 out of fifty for affordability, fiftieth out of fifty for opportunity. 351 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,799 When I'm governor, we're going to get rid of all 352 00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:28,079 that nonsense, turn things around, and make California golden again. 353 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,559 Speaker 1: I wish Steve Hilton well, but he's not going to 354 00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:34,400 make anything golden if he gets elected because of the 355 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,000 fact that the legislature is completely controlled by the Democrats. 356 00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:41,720 So I'd like to see a Republican win the governorship 357 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,480 in California because it would be a good check on 358 00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:50,079 the Democrats to run the legislature. But and I do. 359 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,720 I wish Steve Hilton, well, I wish the sheriff of 360 00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:56,079 Riverside County. Well, he's the other Republican. But yet you 361 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,799 hear what he said. Tom Steyer threw his head into 362 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,119 the ring this week. Tom Steyer has run for a 363 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,920 bunch of different offices, loses every time. He's a billionaire. 364 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,920 I'm trying to remember how he made his billions. I 365 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,839 think he was a commodities trader. Anyway, he made a 366 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,799 ton of money, and then he decided to become a 367 00:22:16,839 --> 00:22:21,400 climate change guy, and everything, everything is about climate change 368 00:22:21,759 --> 00:22:25,480 for him. And if you look at what concerns Americans 369 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,200 the most, climate change is usually at or near the 370 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,079 bottom of a long list of other things. So he's 371 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,799 Tom Stier. He's the guy that wears like a Scottish 372 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,880 plaid tie every day. It's the same tie. He's a billionaire. 373 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,000 You'd think he could go buy a couple ties, but 374 00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:50,279 he's got one tie and he wears it every day. 375 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,119 So it just why can't we find normal people to 376 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,039 put up for a high office. Oh yeah, and speaking 377 00:22:58,079 --> 00:23:03,279 of California, one more, President Trump has said that he 378 00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:06,400 wants to open up oil drilling off the West coast 379 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,200 from Alaska down through Washington, Oregon, off the coast of California. 380 00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:16,000 California is blessed with lots of oil and gas, but 381 00:23:16,079 --> 00:23:19,039 they won't get it because they don't want to make 382 00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:22,640 the environmentalist upset. But he also wants to open up 383 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:27,400 oil drilling off of the coast of Florida. Dan Burlette, 384 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:32,079 who was a former energy secretary, was asked about do 385 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,880 we really need to find more oil and gas by 386 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,759 drilling off the coast of our country? 387 00:23:39,079 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 12: Yes, so we do. Okay, Look, this is the most 388 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,880 expansive plan that we've seen in perhaps twenty twenty five, 389 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,200 maybe even thirty years, in the case of California, clearly 390 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,519 forty years, as was just reported. And why is that important? Well, 391 00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:52,839 it's because of the nature of offshore drilling and offshore production. 392 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,920 It's very, very stable in its long lived unlike shale production, 393 00:23:57,279 --> 00:24:00,759 which we see declination rates or decline rates in relative 394 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,880 terms much faster. So I think what the president knows 395 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,839 and what the President is seeing here and what's being 396 00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:08,400 announced is what we have talked about in the past, 397 00:24:08,839 --> 00:24:12,680 energy security is in fact economic security. Economic security does 398 00:24:12,839 --> 00:24:16,839 mean that we have energy security, and what shapes security 399 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,200 and the energy space is supply. That's what shapes security. 400 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,799 And as we know from the Department of Interior results 401 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,559 or our studies that have been done, we have probably 402 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,440 sixty billion barrels of wealth in our offshore waters that 403 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,000 are recoverable today. So it's important that we go after 404 00:24:35,039 --> 00:24:38,079 that because we're talking about long term demand going up 405 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,599 not down. Well in terms of years, I'm not quite certain. 406 00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:44,119 I mean, it depends on what happens here. Obviously, I 407 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,680 think the President has taken an important first step to 408 00:24:46,759 --> 00:24:50,720 opening up these areas too leasing and too drilling. If 409 00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:54,039 we can do that quickly without the multitude of lawsuits 410 00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:56,759 that are almost certain to follow in places like California, 411 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,039 if we can get to a place where we're permitting 412 00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:01,759 this leasing and permit fitting this strolling activity, we can 413 00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:04,480 see that oil coming online very very quickly. This is 414 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,960 the most innovative industry in the world. They know what 415 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,039 they're doing, they know how to do it, and they 416 00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:11,119 can do it very quickly. So I can see twenty 417 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,519 million barrels per day coming online very very shortly if 418 00:25:14,599 --> 00:25:15,799 we can get past this plan. 419 00:25:16,319 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: So he's right about the fact that it will be 420 00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:20,799 tied up in the courts. I'm sure. In fact, California 421 00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:24,279 Governor Newsom has already said he's going to use every 422 00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:26,640 tool in the toolbox, including the courts, to try to 423 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,599 stop that drilling off of the coast of California. So 424 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,599 I doubt we'll see anything happen soon because it probably 425 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,559 will be tied up in courts. Are you traveling this 426 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,599 are you heading out this weekend? 427 00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:39,839 Speaker 10: On? 428 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,599 Speaker 1: This next week is Thanksgiving Week? A lot of people 429 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,680 take the whole week off, and I kind of I 430 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:53,519 don't know. Sean Duppy was the Transportation Secretary, was at 431 00:25:53,559 --> 00:25:58,799 an airport and was asking people to be nice to 432 00:25:58,880 --> 00:25:59,920 each other. Listen to this. 433 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 13: So I've asked people for feedback. What happens at the 434 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,640 gate and get people nice to the gate agents, what 435 00:26:05,799 --> 00:26:10,200 happens with some of the brawls we've seen at baggage 436 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,720 claim people behaving well on the airplane, be nice, say please, 437 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,680 say thank you. Bringing civility back, I think enhances the 438 00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:22,359 travel exprints for everybody. And so sometimes you just have 439 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,200 to ask people, hey, let's maybe go back to an 440 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,000 era where we didn't wear our pajamas to the airport. 441 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,640 We actually might dress up a little bit. And if 442 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,319 someone needs help putting their luggage up in the overhead bin, 443 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,640 help them out. 444 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's right. I mean, I've seen people. I've seen 445 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,880 people at the airport. I've seen people at the grocery 446 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,079 store in their pajamas. I don't know what that's all about. 447 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,480 And he talked about back in the day, you know, 448 00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:51,440 people dressed up. People used to wear men war suits, 449 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,880 women wore dresses with gloves. I mean, but that's not 450 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,839 the way people dress today. But you can show some 451 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,200 politeness to each other in any case, I thought it 452 00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:07,680 was it was nice for him to ask, But I 453 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,559 don't have a lot of confidence that there's a few 454 00:27:11,559 --> 00:27:14,079 people out there that may ignore what he has to say. 455 00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:18,680 And speaking of things that are culture that is changing 456 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,680 the story out about there's been all kinds of dating 457 00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:28,799 situations that new cultures have tried to figure out. There 458 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,799 was speed dating, there was all these various dating apps, 459 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,920 online dating apps, which I understand. I hear they're losing customers. 460 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,759 People aren't happy with dating that way, so they apparently 461 00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:44,079 now there's a restaurant here in New York that is 462 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,599 open and I saw a photo of it. It looks beautiful, 463 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:54,119 very high end, nice tables, white tablecloths, candles on the table, 464 00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:03,319 and your phone and apparently you date on your phone 465 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,680 and you're not sure if I'm not sure if the 466 00:28:06,079 --> 00:28:08,680 story is that the person is real or whether it's 467 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,720 a bot. We had a guy who called this program. 468 00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:15,599 We did this topic of oh, I don't know, five 469 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,400 years ago and he called me swore that he was 470 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,200 in love with this woman who was a bot and 471 00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:26,839 not a real person. And now, I mean, you can 472 00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:28,960 put your phone. Apparently they have a little stand on 473 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,119 this beautiful table. There are tables of one that's it. 474 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,599 There's one share at the table and a phone. And 475 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:40,519 it's this nice dining room with all these tables with 476 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,440 a phone on it. Well here, let this is Lauren 477 00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:48,559 Seminetti from a box business was talking about. 478 00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 6: This because did you ever think that you would be 479 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,519 saying what you just said. I mean, these are the 480 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:57,359 times we live in. We're not dating real persons, real 481 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,960 people anymore. There's a companies called Eva. You design your 482 00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:04,039 chatbot on them, and now that company is opening up 483 00:29:04,039 --> 00:29:06,319 a pop up restaurant in New York City where you 484 00:29:06,319 --> 00:29:07,640 can date your chatbot. 485 00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: So you literally you can see it. 486 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 6: You're sitting at a table, A human being would be 487 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,759 on the left, and then you put your phone on 488 00:29:13,799 --> 00:29:16,960 a stand and that's your chatbot on your phone. So 489 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,720 you're sitting there, dim lighting, romantic setting, and you're talking 490 00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:27,119 to your phone in public, in public, I know, and. 491 00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: They're opening up again. We're laughing. 492 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 12: But obviously there's a market for this. 493 00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:32,839 Speaker 4: Eva ai I said. 494 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 6: Many of their users, and many young people in general, 495 00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:40,519 say they have experimented with chatbots and now they're dating them. 496 00:29:40,759 --> 00:29:43,720 So there's a movie her. It's from a couple of 497 00:29:43,799 --> 00:29:46,319 years ago, twenty thirteen. You actually played a clip earlier. 498 00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:49,519 That movie took place in twenty twenty five. 499 00:29:49,839 --> 00:29:50,559 Speaker 1: Will remind you. 500 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 12: The woman that I've been seeing, Samantha. She's an operating system. 501 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 14: You're dating in a Wista. 502 00:29:56,759 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 7: What is that like? 503 00:29:58,359 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 11: It's not love. 504 00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 12: I feel really closer, Like when I taught to her. 505 00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:03,799 Speaker 6: I feel like she's with me. 506 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,319 Speaker 1: Learn everything about everything. 507 00:30:08,319 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 8: I want to discover myself. 508 00:30:10,319 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 12: I want that for you too. 509 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,559 Speaker 11: Keep going, Keep going. 510 00:30:14,359 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 6: That was in the year twenty twenty five, and now 511 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:17,640 it's ringing true. 512 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,359 Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. 513 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,319 Speaker 12: I know, I really don't dating concerns. 514 00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:24,799 Speaker 14: That's the other part of this, though. Dating is hard 515 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,640 no matter what. Lydeo is not going to defend the 516 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,119 AI dating. But I think I'm I can see where 517 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,000 maybe someone would want to explore this. I think dating's 518 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:34,200 just difficult for all of us. 519 00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: So there you go. You design your own chatbot, and 520 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,640 then you put that chat bot on your phone, and 521 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,720 then you sit at a beautiful table in a beautiful 522 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:49,240 restaurant and have a date. It's just weird, all right. 523 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,960 I need to address well the way to address it 524 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:58,039 yesterday's podcast. This is the strangest thing I got it. 525 00:30:58,079 --> 00:31:00,880 I've got a couple of phone calls, couple of emails 526 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,960 saying there's something wrong with the audio from yesterday. I mean, 527 00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:09,480 like seriously wrong. So well, as one gentleman Brian from 528 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,119 Utah says, you need to check these things before you 529 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,640 send them out, we do, Oh, we do. We record 530 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:22,400 this podcast into a computer in a radio studio, and 531 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:27,200 then we download it to a system that checks all 532 00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:31,000 the levels, make sure all the levels are correct. Then 533 00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:37,119 we take that and we download that to the platform 534 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:42,119 that we use to send out the podcast and then 535 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,279 they get downloaded to If you're using Apple Podcasts, that 536 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:52,720 goes to them. The same thing goes download to Spotify podcast. 537 00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:56,279 Whatever your platform is that you listen to this podcast 538 00:31:56,359 --> 00:32:01,079 or any podcast. So the downloading of a of this podcast, 539 00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:06,400 any podcast is there's numerous steps to it. But trust me, 540 00:32:06,839 --> 00:32:12,279 we triple check to make sure that everything is perfect 541 00:32:12,759 --> 00:32:15,960 before we send it out. I don't know what happened 542 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,319 yesterday because I checked it. We all checked it before 543 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,799 we left yesterday, and then what I always do on 544 00:32:25,839 --> 00:32:28,720 the way home, I punch it up on my radio 545 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,359 to see if it's okay. And I'm driving along last 546 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:39,200 night and it sounded scratchy. It didn't sound terrible, but 547 00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:45,880 it didn't sound great. Then I get home last night 548 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,319 and I checked. I'd listened on Apple Podcasts. It sounded 549 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,759 sounded scratchy. I listened on Spotify when I got home 550 00:32:53,799 --> 00:32:57,359 it sounded perfect. I checked Spotify again this morning it 551 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,319 sounded perfect. So I don't know the engineers are looking 552 00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:08,200 into where did the audio problem prop up because it's 553 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:13,200 not on every platform. It wasn't on every download. I'll 554 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,519 play this for you just to give you a sense 555 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,519 of what I'm talking about. 556 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,359 Speaker 2: Hey, Tom Brian from Utah eleven, twenty twenty five, the 557 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,880 show is in inellgible. 558 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: I can't understand it. It's blowing out my speakers so bad, 559 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,920 and you're going to have to redo it and or 560 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,279 learn how to do audio. 561 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:32,559 Speaker 7: Love you. 562 00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: Other ones are doing pretty good, but you're going to 563 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,400 have to sit back and listen to yourself before you 564 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,279 put these things out on podcasts. Okay, So, Brian, I 565 00:33:43,319 --> 00:33:47,000 truly appreciate your call, but I'm a little insulted that 566 00:33:47,079 --> 00:33:49,000 I need to learn audio. I've been in the audio 567 00:33:49,119 --> 00:33:51,160 business for forty five years. I think I know a 568 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,480 little bit about about audio and how it works. The 569 00:33:54,599 --> 00:33:57,279 other thing is, do I listen before we put it out? 570 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,200 I listened to the engineers listen would then we go through, 571 00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:03,599 Like I said, there's three or four steps that we 572 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,559 go through to make sure that everything is perfect. Why 573 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,000 it was garbled yesterday on some downloads and not on 574 00:34:12,079 --> 00:34:16,079 others is a complete mystery. So if you can figure 575 00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:19,400 it out, call back and let me know. But in 576 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,800 the meantime, I apologize profusely for those of you that 577 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,760 it did not. It did not come through Wall Street 578 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,679 today let's check that. Well. Yesterday we started off positive, 579 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,840 big gain, and then we lost all of it and 580 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,280 had a big loss for the day. Today it was 581 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,000 all uphill. The Dow up four hundred ninety three to 582 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,199 close a forty six thousand and two forty five s 583 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,320 and p up sixty four. The Nasdaq up one hundred 584 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,599 ninety five. Gold down two dollars and thirty cents to 585 00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:56,960 four thousand and fifty seven. Oil down a dollar fifty 586 00:34:57,119 --> 00:35:00,559 seven dollars now for one barrel of a one. Thank 587 00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:05,199 you for coming by, Thank you for being patient with 588 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,239 I don't know. We're still digging on the audio issue 589 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,360 from yesterday, and we'll be back here on Monday, and I 590 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,280 hope you are then as well. Have a great weekend.
