How do you listen to the sounds 76 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.039 of Silence. Other than Simon and Garfunkle doing it, How 77 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:12.199 does that possible? 78 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.319 It was a big hit actually the cover who did 79 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.279 the cover it was a band called Disturbed. Not the 80 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.319 biggest fan, but it was good. It was a big 81 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:24.319 hit the charts. 82 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.519 Okay, I'm just I'm a purist when it comes to 83 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:29.160 that sort of thing. 84 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:29.600 That's all. 85 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.279 Someone did it on American Idol and it was fabulous. 86 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:41.800 I'm a purist. It's not the same. There was a 87 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.360 documentary on Paul Simon, by the way, and I think 88 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:50.639 it's on either Netflix or maybe Apple TV, maybe A's Hulu, 89 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:55.079 but anyway, I just it's just phenomenal, interesting guy, Paul Simon, 90 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.839 to say the least. Okay, here's a lead story. Paramount. 91 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.600 Paramount is laying off several hundred employees, and. 92 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.040 What are you doing? What are you doing? 93 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.199 What am I doing? Is that story five? Already? What 94 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:09.600 are I just? 95 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:10.560 What are you doing? 96 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.959 And that's it's stroke today. 97 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:20.000 Okay, story story, yeah, story five? Got it, We'll get 98 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:22.639 to it. Got mixed up, got mixed up? 99 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.680 Got I also said to another lead story, did you 100 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:25.959 get that? 101 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:36.160 No? Okay? So I have two stories. Okay, two lead stories. Okay, One, 102 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.360 President Trump just announced the US will get magnets and 103 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.439 rare earth minerals from China under a new trade deal 104 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:49.399 where Chinese triffs on China go to only fifty five percent. 105 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:55.360 So that's Jane crazy. Why not today? What today is 106 00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:03.360 fifty five? Yesterday it was what fifty and last week 107 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.160 it was one hundred and forty five and then that 108 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:10.000 was suspended. You don't know. So anyway, that's a deal. 109 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.279 We haven't heard from China yet, and I don't know 110 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.439 how China's accepting a fifty five percent tariff. 111 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.959 Okay, So that one office you have Trump laughing going 112 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.639 watch watch I'm gonna change it again. Yeah, I know 113 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.560 in LA's going to freak out about his pots and 114 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:26.800 pains business. 115 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.920 Watch's it's interesting. We're going to talk about that at 116 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.399 some point. How how does a president wake up in 117 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.279 the morning legally and say I think tariff today is 118 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.040 going to be x and then that afternoon saying eh, no, 119 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.360 let's make it this this number. And how does that 120 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.360 happen legally? Because there are lawsuits of floating out there, 121 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.639 and I'm sure we're going to get into that. The 122 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:56.279 other big story is the curfew in Los Angeles that 123 00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.959 went into effect eight pm to six am, down two 124 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.600 and so we'll see what happened. As matter of fact, 125 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:04.839 what was the latest on that, Amy? 126 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:10.160 Which one on the curfew, but there was a it's 127 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.720 lifted now. It was in effect from eight pm until 128 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.879 six am. And after the first hour they did a 129 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.959 bunch of arrests because there were some people who didn't 130 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.399 follow the curfew. And then it quieted it down. It 131 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:22.399 was pretty quiet overnight. 132 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:23.079 Now. 133 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.800 I'll tell you what does work is if you have 134 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:31.319 two hundred protesters or five hundred protesters, you bring ten 135 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.720 thousand RB guys and police guys. That'll quell it, that'll 136 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.560 stop it. And again, and the Trump administration is getting 137 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:47.560 enormous flak for overwhelming force, disproportionate force. I tell you 138 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:49.759 you have riots, I don't care how many people show up, 139 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.439 you shut them down. And of course the political fallout 140 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.720 on that one, Gavin Newsom, the president, it's just it's 141 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.199 completely crazy, all right, Moving on Amy. 142 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.759 Governor Newsom should be tarred and feathered, so says Speaker 143 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:12.800 Mike Johnson. Of course, aligned himself with President Trump, saying 144 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:16.959 the President is absolutely right in sending in National Guard 145 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:21.319 troops and marines to LA because of the protests. 146 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:27.319 Yeah, the tar and feather part. Johnson was very very 147 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:31.600 smart on this one because he was asked about arresting 148 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.759 Newsom and he goes, that's not my wheelhouse. I'm not 149 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:39.519 going to get into that, but I think that Newsom 150 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.200 should be tarred and feather. A political statement, right, which 151 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.039 is it means absolutely nothing. There is no opinion too. Yeah, 152 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.759 it's old school and it's just a political hit that 153 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:55.159 has no legal significance. Commenting on whether the governor should 154 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:59.399 be arrested that goes deeper, and Johnson didn't want to 155 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.919 touch that. Interesting how we do this? It's not my lane. 156 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.240 I'm not going to give you a legal analysis on 157 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.879 whether Gavin Newssen should be arrested, but he ought to 158 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:14.679 be tarred and feathered. And it's really interesting. How is 159 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:19.240 Gavin Newsen going to be arrested for I guess governing 160 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:23.799 California inappropriately or wrongly? You got me on that one. 161 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.360 All right, let's take a break. We'll come back and 162 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.799 maybe we'll get into this and make some sense. What 163 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.559 do you think we started on We started with a 164 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.960 cover of Sounds of Silence and that is very, very wrong. 165 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.200 It's going to be quite that morning. I can tell all. 166 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:43.559 Right, ims Ian's Iams from American Idol. It's really good. 167 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:50.279 Of course, more handle on the news, Amy Neil and 168 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:51.480 me all right. 169 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.879 Defense Secretary Pete Higgseth is in the hot seat met 170 00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:00.200 with very sharp questions and criticism Tuesday by lawmakers who 171 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.799 demanded details on a couple of things, including the move 172 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:08.159 to deploy troops to Los Angeles, and they expressed bipartisan 173 00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:12.000 rather frustrations that Congress has not yet received a full 174 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:17.360 defense budget from the Trump administration. So gosh, man, he 175 00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.159 got hit with a couple ones. Your tenuere as secretary 176 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.080 has been marked with endless chaos. Well, I don't know 177 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.919 if it's been that long, but I got to tell 178 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:32.799 you they're looking at one hundred and thirty four million 179 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:36.000 dollars apparently for the cost of the Marines and the 180 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:39.919 National Guard to come to Los Angeles. Pretty substantial. I mean, 181 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.840 you could with that kind of money, you could almost 182 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:47.000 start to not have a train to nowhere. 183 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.480 Yeah, well, I'll tell you where you it would be 184 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:53.200 a train in nowhere. It would be would be stopped 185 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.120 or would be paid for and that's with the one 186 00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.679 hundred and seventy five billion dollar the Spaceballs program, you know, 187 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.879 Golden Dome missile program across the entire United States. A 188 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.799 lot of and a lot of the even Republican legislators said, 189 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.919 come on, guys, you know how much money can you spend? 190 00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:17.399 The parade is going to be forty five million dollars. 191 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:18.679 There's a story for you. 192 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.799 It's legitimate for him to be questioned, isn't it on? 193 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:23.159 Yeah? 194 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.159 Yeah, absolutely didn't come from the governor. 195 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.080 No, No, it happens all the time. It happens all 196 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.679 the time. They're always put on the hot seat. You know, 197 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:32.720 it doesn't and it doesn't matter what side you're on 198 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.679 the other party nails. Who's ever in front of Congress, 199 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.159 either a Republican I mean either a congressional or a 200 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.120 Senate hearing. Those are not meant for. Well, what they are. 201 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:49.440 What they are meant for is investigative purpose purposes so 202 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.559 Congress can investigate the issue. All they are is grand 203 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:53.840 standing nothing more. 204 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:57.279 Yeah, and they're always angry, and you know why because 205 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.799 it takes time from them sleeping with their aids. So 206 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:02.519 they gotta get up and they gotta do that. 207 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:09.480 Yeah, what was no I'm talking about. So they're in 208 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:14.879 the Oval Office and reporters are asking President Trump questions 209 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:21.639 and they ask about Mexican President Claudia Sinbaum's comments about 210 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.519 what was going on in LA and Trump said, well, 211 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.720 what did she say? And the reporter said, well, she 212 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.080 condemned the violence, and he said, I do too, And 213 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.679 then Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam comes up 214 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.159 and says, Claudia Shinbe Shinbaum came out and encouraged protests. 215 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.519 She said, I condemn her for that. She shouldn't be 216 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.279 encouraging violence. Well, violence. Shinbaum fired right back and said 217 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.120 that's absolutely false, and then posted video of her saying, yeah, 218 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.879 we condemned the violence. So now you know what no 219 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:53.840 one was doing there. 220 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:57.120 I'm making it up. That's what she was doing, making 221 00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:58.919 it up out of a whole cloth. 222 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.759 But why why I understood? 223 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.679 What was she didn't misunderstand. It's all political. It's all political, 224 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.720 and that's what you get for putting a garden know him, 225 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:12.559 you know in office? 226 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.360 I would say, and it wasn't in the clip that 227 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.240 I heard, but I thought there was something that was 228 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.559 in her statement that pinged my ear too, and I 229 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.679 can't remember what it is. I'd have to look it up, 230 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.399 but it obviously wasn't the clip that they played. But 231 00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:33.120 there was something that Shinbaum said, yeah, and I can't 232 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:34.840 remember it was, but there was something in one of 233 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:37.519 the first statements where I went, that's an interesting way 234 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:38.200 of saying. 235 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:42.480 It, but yeah, but it could not be interpreted as 236 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:47.639 being an advocate of the protests, that protests are good 237 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:49.000 or what you're doing is right. 238 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.120 Absolutely not to the degree that Noam said that. There 239 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.159 was something that I remember did ping my ear and 240 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.440 I can't but I don't have it in front of me. 241 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:04.159 All right, there we go. Military members apparently booed Newsom 242 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.080 and bid them Biden. This was a crowd filled with 243 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.720 members of the military and their families. They is President 244 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.039 Trump took to the podium the rivals that he is 245 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.039 continuing to poke at even though they're out of office. 246 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:23.679 The President kind of prompting during this the address at 247 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.679 Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Now, if you remember, Fort 248 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:32.559 Bragg was changed, the name was changed to Fort Liberty, 249 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.799 I think for a little while and then it went back. 250 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:39.120 Because this was during the time when they were getting 251 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.240 rid of anything that honored Confederate generals, which I think 252 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:44.200 is the right thing to do. 253 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.080 And well, that's a topic. That's a topic. I mean 254 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.200 the you know, Confederate Confederate generals are part of. 255 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:55.320 History, yes, but they were they were enemies of the 256 00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:56.919 state at this point. 257 00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.759 Uh yeah, I mean they were and at the because 258 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:02.279 of the but there's still but there's still because you 259 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.919 don't celebrate them. They were named, there were military people, 260 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.399 and it was a civil war where they set up 261 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.519 their own country and on top of that, and this 262 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:14.759 is what people and no it's not And this is 263 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.159 and I'll tell you why. This is what people don't understand. 264 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:21.519 In those days, particularly in the South, particularly in Virginia, 265 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.120 the loyalty for the most part, for many many people 266 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.200 throughout the country was towards their state. That was more 267 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.240 important to them than for the country. Let's put this 268 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:38.600 in context. The North, based on its political view correctly 269 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:43.440 by the way, abolitionism was destroying the economy of the South. 270 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.879 I mean that's a given. It's that simple. The economy 271 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:49.000 of the South could not survive if it weren't for slavery, 272 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:53.039 as horrific as that is, it could not have survived. 273 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:57.120 So taking that in context, you're it was put in 274 00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:59.600 there now, whether those days are put in there now, 275 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:05.000 whether or not you believe in what happened. Well, for example, 276 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.759 George Washington was a slave owner and did not free 277 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:13.240 his slaves. So if we go back in history, go, 278 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:16.480 wait a minute, we have to put that in context. Okay, 279 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.159 Thomas Jefferson a slave owner. 280 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:21.000 I get all of that. 281 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:24.559 So the point I'm making is if we look at it, 282 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.200 it's not as clear cut by the way I have. 283 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.600 If you look at it and I would vote for 284 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:34.600 Fort Liberty versus Fort Bragg, I would not necessarily Robert E. Lee. 285 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:38.000 I think that is a different story. It's just he 286 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:41.360 is a different character. You know, he was offered head 287 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.159 of the Union forces. No, he was offered head of 288 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.799 both both the Union and the Southern Forces. And because 289 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:54.600 his loyalty to Virginia was there, So it's not that 290 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.879 clear cut. But in the end, I disagree with the president, 291 00:16:57.879 --> 00:16:59.960 but I think we have to look at it history. 292 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:05.119 It's more nuanced than that. And it became political with Trump. 293 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:09.079 But you know, kicking to Biden, this wouldn't have happened. 294 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:11.240 You know, look at the crowd, Look how big this 295 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.960 crowd is Biden, when Biden wouldn't have this crowd. I mean, why, 296 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:17.759 you know, why do you bring that up and pointing 297 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.119 to the press. This is fake news up there, and 298 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.119 everybody erupts and boos the press. I mean, you know, 299 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:27.480 at what point do you stop that crap? 300 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.839 Isn't that kind of a no? No, as a as 301 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.599 a political leader to use the military kind of. 302 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.599 Oh, absolutely, one hundred percent. Traditionally you do not use 303 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.960 the military as a political as a political ploy, you don't. 304 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.839 But this is a very different president who's rewritten and 305 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:48.319 is rewriting all the rules. That's just to give it, 306 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.200 whether you agree or not, whether you agree. 307 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.480 Or military to be separate from politics. 308 00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.880 Yeah, wouldn't that be nice? All right, let's take a break. 309 00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:58.400 We'll come back and Neil, I think you have one 310 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.599 more about paramount and we'll get through these as quickly 311 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:08.279 as possible. And the news Amy Neil me Field as you. 312 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:09.920 Yeah, Oh yeah, it's still Neil. 313 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:10.960 Yes, it's still Neil. 314 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.640 Okay, what do you mean, Uh, isn't it? 315 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.519 I thought we're doing the US China? 316 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:19.720 Okay, that's me, it's me. 317 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:25.839 No, I haven't I after that? Okay, No, We're on six, 318 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.440 not seven, all right, so we're okay. 319 00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:31.319 The paramount story now. 320 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:33.319 The Paramount story is the last story of the day. 321 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:39.640 Wow, Okay, live radio, boys and girls. 322 00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:40.839 Okay, we have part of it. 323 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.480 It looks like five by the way the way it 324 00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.240 was written. Okay, let's move on. 325 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.319 Okay, we do have part of a deal. US and 326 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.680 Chinese officials have agreed to a framework, but they're trade 327 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.640 truce back on track and resolved China's export restrictions on 328 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.640 rare earth minerals and magnets. That means rare earth minerals 329 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.319 and magnets will be coming to the US, and the 330 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:07.440 US is going to agree to let Chinese students in 331 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:13.240 to go to our universities and college's. US Commerce Secretary, 332 00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:17.240 Howard Lutnik, says the framework puts meat on the bones 333 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.200 of a deal reached last month in Geneva to ease 334 00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:21.559 retaliatory tariffs. 335 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:24.839 Now, is it still fifty five percent that's coming in 336 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:30.000 on these particular goods, the magnets and rare earths, Because 337 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.759 part of this deal is still fifty five percent tariff 338 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:36.119 on Chinese goods coming in, but there are a lot 339 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:40.640 of exemptions. Remember when the first tariffs came along, and 340 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:46.240 the exemptions were TVs and computers and high tech goods 341 00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:48.599 coming in from China. So I don't know what's. 342 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:50.960 Yeah, the story doesn't say if there's an exemption for 343 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:52.880 these rare earths. I would think there would because we 344 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:53.759 want those. 345 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:54.720 Right, I think. 346 00:19:54.759 --> 00:20:00.400 So, Oh, seriously, you're not. I thought you're going to 347 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:06.000 say like it was a real polarized conversation. No magnet jokes, 348 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:09.920 no puns, no magnet jokes. Okay, Hey, I wanted to 349 00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:11.519 walk back what I said about Shinebab. 350 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:13.720 I'm positive about that. I don't want to be negative 351 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:14.519 about this story. 352 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:17.640 I look tried to look for what pinged in my 353 00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:19.079 ear and couldn't find it. So I want to walk 354 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:23.000 that back from earlier. All right, Moving on, President Donald 355 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:27.279 Trump warned warned the neat protests during the weekend's major 356 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:32.799 military parade in Washington will be met with very heavy force. 357 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.240 If there's any protester who what's come out, they will 358 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:38.440 be met with very big force. 359 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:42.720 Yeah, there'll be plenty of protesters too. It's how far 360 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:46.559 away from the parade will they be allowed to protest? 361 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:49.160 I think that's the question. 362 00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:51.400 He said he hasn't heard of any protests. 363 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:53.279 I think there are going to be plenty of protests. 364 00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:54.799 I think so too. 365 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:59.200 Yeah. Also, he talked about how what the riots were 366 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.000 in Los Ange Angelists and portrayed the entire town being 367 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:07.039 up in a conflagration, and was particularly offended that the 368 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:13.960 police were being attacked with concrete and with the scooters, 369 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.119 those rental scooters, those lifts scooters, and he got very 370 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.839 offended to the police were attacked. He also got really 371 00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:24.200 offended when the police were attacked during January sixth. Oh, 372 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:28.480 hang on a minute, No, he wasn't didn't say much 373 00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:31.119 at all about the police being attacked. At one hundred 374 00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:34.599 and forty eight police injured. That just didn't happen on 375 00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:35.680 January sixth. 376 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:39.559 That is the most bizarre part of this, I think 377 00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:40.440 to me. 378 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:43.039 But he's offended by this, and he wasn't offended by that. 379 00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:46.160 I don't know how anybody can look at January sixth 380 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:50.559 and not think that that is a huge, ugly mark. 381 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:54.759 No, No, it was patriots. It was patriots who were 382 00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:59.359 upholding the constitution and trying to undo any illegal election. 383 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:02.279 And the fact that one hundred and forty eight police 384 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:06.359 officers were injured, that is that's just not a big deal. 385 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:10.680 Except in Los Angeles cops were injured. That's a huge deal. 386 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:13.799 And no one get And I have to tell you 387 00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:17.640 I don't either. Yeah I do, Yeah, I actually do. 388 00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:20.920 And it's well, yes, I mean I understand politically how 389 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.319 people think that it's only violence when it's not what 390 00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:27.880 they want, right, you know. All Right to another one, 391 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.759 Elon Musk. This is the scariest thing I've heard. Elon 392 00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:37.960 Musk's DOGE team reportedly installed a Starlink satellite internet system 393 00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:45.759 on the White House despite concerns from National Security Secret Service, 394 00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:52.519 and they're looking to, I think, take it down. 395 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:55.079 Because yeah, of course they they have to do. This 396 00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.960 is just the same stars Starlink system that you have 397 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:02.480 that we have at home. It's not even second person authentication. 398 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:05.319 But this makes sense because if you look at White 399 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:10.480 House security, if you look at the security experts, this 400 00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:13.920 is part of the deep state. And what is not 401 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:17.480
