Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I was putting eye drops in my eyes and you guys.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Hi, everybody, Good morning.
Speaker 2: Woefully unprepared for us to get on screen. Hello, good morning,
greeting salitations, everybody. Happy Wednesday. It's hump Day. It's dad
joke Wednesday, isn't it?
Speaker 1: It is dad joke?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 1: Did you not have any goad jokes prepared? I don't either.
Speaker 2: Again, woefully am prepared for dad joke Wednesday. I can
tell you what's coming up on the show. California's on fire,
you guys, it's bad. We're talking about that. Also, we're
talking about Trump's absolutely lit presser yesterday. Miasare Sunny Austin,
that lovely, lovely lady from the view, she gets some karma.
Speaker 1: We're talking about that.
Speaker 2: Ah, all that and so so so much more.
Speaker 1: I am both hired. How you acting like you or
the people of the fate of Indie MP or the
city of Indian Apple. You do not think for me
or anyone I know. That was the YouTube jerk. You
guys can check it out.
Speaker 2: Chicks on the right dot com slash links. That's where
you can find and make sure that you are subscribed
to this podcast. Please do that just click subscribe. Tell
your friends, tell your liberal friends especially we love having
them here.
Speaker 1: Yes, no, no, I just it didn't sound like you
were done.
Speaker 2: Now I think I'm done. I think I'm done.
Speaker 1: Okay, by the way, speaking of dad jokes that I
do not have prepared. Yesterday because my husband I drove
to Charleston because I had a doctor's appointment, and I
told him that joke from earlier in the week that
I played yesterday, the George Michael joke. Yeah, and he
rolled his eyes so hard, but then he also laughed.
And so for those of you who missed it, I'm
going to tell it exactly what I told it to him.
So you've heard this before because we told it earlier
this week. But how does George Michael like his sturfry?
How well, I guess it would be rice. And he
rolled his eyes right like ron was just like he
had to admit that it was a good jokes music,
then you get it and right, and.
Speaker 2: Then we continued to sing the rest of the song.
Speaker 1: Everybody, Oh, anyway, it is no, it is not a
terrible joke that I think that's a great joke. Are
you in the right place? So R M. Weaver. I'm
pretty sure that's Ron, So that means he's watching the show.
I never see his comments, and he's always commenting and
I never see them, and I just saw that. You know,
it was a good joke. Ron is up early. Ron, Well,
he's early because I get up so early and then
I'm loud. Okay, moving on, because we have lots to
get to. In fact, I think it could potentially be
a longish show today. We'll see.
Speaker 2: Excited about the long show.
Speaker 1: I know I kind of am too, because there's a
lot of really good stuff to dig into today, especially
because Trump spent what like another hour and a half
speaking at oppressor and then answering questions again. And when
he does that, it's amazing. It was huge, It was tremendous.
But we do have to start out with the bad news,
and that is, of course, that these wildfires in La
County are really truly horrendous, and there's all kinds of
I mean, these are this is like the nice area
of California that's being impacted. Lots of celebrities are fearing
for their homes. I know, I read online. I think
this morning that Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag those horrible
people from some reality show way back in the day.
Their house is gone, like it's one hundred percent destroyed,
and there are lots and lots and lots of other
celebrities who are in the path of this. And of
course the winds were really bad overnight still are bad,
so it's very, very difficult to get it contained. And
we'll talk about why that's even happening in just a
little bit. But one of the things that happened last
or I guess late afternoon yesterday, is that as people
were trying to evacuate, it got so bad that they
started abandoning their cars on the road and taking the keys.
So when fire trucks were trying to get through to
actually save homes, they couldn't get past these cars and
eventually had It was horrible, so they had to like
use giant equipment to push these cars out of the way.
Here is a news story about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to take you your live right now.
So the specific palisaies, all of these cars were fitched,
so all of the driver's panic, they took their keys
in Talisafe drive as well as Sunset Boulevard. This dozer
is just moving these vehicles out of the way. So
if this is your car, unfortunately, it's an emergency situation
and this is what they have to do. They are
moving the cars as we speak. Unfortunately, there are dozens
of cars. This looks like a movie set. Unfortunately this
is real La County fire. They have to do what
they have to do. They need to clear a path,
so literally they're moving the cars to SUVs. We're seeing Mercedes,
very nice vehicles Teslas up here, but that's because the
car owners they took their keys and they just started running.
They let the cars here as the firefighters kind of
clear the pathway, clear the roadway. This is an emergency
situation where you know, they need to get up to
the homes. They want to make sure people are not
trapped up there. But this line of cars probbably goes
about three hundred feet deep at least as long as
I can see from this bird's eye view. So we're
kind of staying bad. They're in a situation near where
they are literally moving these vehicles out of the way.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is causing.
Speaker 4: Damage, as you can hear from the screeching noises, but
that is what they have to do.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know people are saying, I'm not judging.
I would be, but but.
Speaker 1: Why well, yeah, because it's panic. I mean they were
panicked and oh my god, I would yeah wreck.
Speaker 2: But I mean, if you if you feel like you're
going to lose your house, just leave the keys in
the car. Nobody cares. It's just who cares? If you
lose your car, who cares? It's just stuff, you.
Speaker 1: Know, I mean, so it's uh, it's horrendous. James Woods
is actually one of the people. He doesn't even know
how his house is. He had to evacuate. He had
this tweet saying, to all the wonderful people who've reached
out to us, thank you for being so concerned, just
letting you know that we were able to evacuate successfully.
I do not know at this moment if our home
is still standing. Sadly, houses on our little street are not.
This was taken like from his deck or something. So
the fires were approaching. He had to evacuate, and at
this point I don't know how his house is doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just man, like, where is Governor Greaseball on
all this?
Speaker 1: You know, Well, he went to like observe the fires
and like have his little hands in his pockets and
was kind of nodding, Oh, good for him. This was
entirely preventable and has been forever. And we'll talk about
what Trump has said in the past about that, because
it remains true. They will their environmental whack jobs in
California will not let them do forest management. And so
this is what we get over and over and over against,
like they will never learn. Well.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like if I were living in California,
I'd be wondering where is he spending the money? And
he's certainly not spending it on homeless He lost twenty
four billion dollars.
Speaker 1: Lost it, just lost it.
Speaker 2: It's like whoop, gone twenty four billion dollars and he's
not spending it on forest management, So what the hell
is he spending money on?
Speaker 1: What is he? I would just be demanding it.
Speaker 2: This guy needs to go away, like Trudeau, you know,
he just needs He's just like him.
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know, why is he still there.
This guy's a colossal failure. He's probably gonna run for
president too, oh my, which is he can't manage his
own freaking state.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 2: I just when you see this and you live in California.
How is he in charge? How can you allow this
guy to be in charge?
Speaker 1: Stop out of it, you guys, if you are not
yet a fan or drinking or subscribing or getting shipments
of native hydrate to keep yourself hydrated, and you're a
person who struggles with drinking as much water as you're
supposed to do, that's hard for me, because they say
it's like, I forget how many ounces per pound that
you weigh. It's some extraordinary amount of water that you're
supposed to drink in a day. And if you just
don't enjoy drinking flavorless, boring water, this is the way
to keep hydrated. And the best part about it, the
way that it is heads and above beyond any of
the other like electrolyte drinks out there, is because it
doesn't have the salt content and it adds all kinds
of essential vitamins that other drinks do not. And the
best part is this is peach mango. This is one
of their flavors. They also have mixed berry, and they
have tangerine. They are are so good, all so good,
so so good. I cannot stress to you enough how
yummy they are. And they're so they make it just
so easy. So you just take a scoop, You just
take a scoop of this, you put it in water.
You have got yourself a delicious beverage. And yet they
have little little single packets that are just to have.
Single package you guys, they are just awesome. I drink
that su every day NonStop. I just love the same, same,
And of course for our audience, they have a discount,
so if you visit Native hydrate dot com slash chicks,
you can save up to forty five four percent and
get free shipping when you try it. So check it
out Native hydrate dot Com slash sh A friend of
the show who we've had on the show in the past,
Ritt Grinnell, also posted about these California fires. He is
thankfully not terribly close, but he said, this is the
view from my home in Manhattan Beach. The far left
policies of Democrats in California are literally burning us to
the ground. Stop voting for people who won't use common
sense water management and forest policies. I am pissed off,
and you should be too. It's just ridiculous and needless, unnecessary, pointless.
The scariest video that I saw of the fire. I'm
terrified of fire, like you are you I got I
think I've even told the audience like, I'm freaked out
by my own guest stove because I'm new to guest stoves,
freaked out by it. Just I'm terrified a fire. And
this video take from the inside of a home that
is about to be engulfed by flames. I was freaking
out when I saw this. And the only reason I'm
sharing it is because I did find out after I
saw it that whoever was filming the video they did
get out. They did evacuate safely, thank god. But when
you see this, this is horrifying. You guys, Oh.
Speaker 3: My gosh, it's right there.
Speaker 2: It's right there, and there's dots.
Speaker 1: He's got dogs.
Speaker 2: Hi, Okay, that is just I cannot imagine that's your home.
Speaker 1: God bless the dog's. Like, Dad, let's get out. Yeah,
what are you doing? We're smart enough to know that
we need to get out of here.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that is It is terrifying and just
sartbreaking because like, because back.
Speaker 1: To your you're what you said is it doesn't need
to it's needless. This is needless. They can prevent this.
I don't understand why they keep voting for Democrats because
this is what you get.
Speaker 2: I just don't get it.
Speaker 1: Horrifying, horrifying video. And so again he did, and the
dogs find everybody's fine, But like, look at how close
is on top of that house. You'd get out of there.
It's not like the house is providing you with shelter.
You're it's going to be consumed by flames. Like, it's not.
It's unavoidable at that point, right, Just amazing footage. And
then there was a news report this will make you
even matter that they the fire hydrants didn't have water.
They ran out of water again because of mismanagement. Here's
a news report about that.
Speaker 6: But their hands had been tied and they can't tide
a fire without water and the resources that are needed.
Everybody knew these winds were coming. The other question has
to be, you know what, We're all the things in
place to try to, you know, again, mitigate the damage here.
But the real issue to me is twofold. We've had
decades to go remove the brush in these hills that
spread so quickly. And the second is you've got to
have water. And my understanding is the reservoir was not
refilled in time and in a timely manner to keep
the hydrants gone. So that's a failure, whether I'm DWP's
part or another city agency. But this is they should stuff.
This isn't high science here, and it's all about leadership
and management that we're seeing a failure of and all
of these residents are paying the ultimate price for that.
Speaker 1: That isn't that was going to be. My next question
is why aren't why isn't there water in the fire hydrants?
That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 6: You're right, it's a good question, and I think you
should start asking why don't you call the mayor who's
out of the country and ask her, my god.
Speaker 1: She's in Ghana, Like she decided to just skip town
and like go to freaking Ghana or somewhere. My gosh.
Apparently she is on her way back.
Speaker 2: But the fact that she that's all it isn't great, right,
It's just all of this is just indescribably horrible, and
it's in and it shouldn't be happening. There's there's no water,
like and if that's your job and you're supposed to,
but what can you imagine being the person or the
people who are responsible for making sure that there's water
in the reservoir. And you're like, well, sorry, sorry about that.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I had a doctor's appointment so I could
that day. Yeah, so we were, you know, we were
on holiday. Yeah. I just what is anybody gonna get
fired for that? That's a great question. Yeah, just to
give you an idea of where the priorities typically lie.
Though this is California, let me just introduce you to
the La County Fire Department chief Inspired.
Speaker 7: We took time out of her already busy schedule to
tell us about her vision for the department's future, one
that includes a three year strategic plan to increase diversity.
Speaker 1: People are like, knowing, what number are you looking for us?
So I'm looking for a number is never enough.
Speaker 7: Out of thirty three hundred city firefighters, only one hundred
and fifteen are women. Right now, she's already looking at
ways to change that. She's quick to point out that
doing so has a greater purpose attracting the best and
brightest for the job.
Speaker 3: They feel included, they feel valued, and they feel part
of a cohesive team.
Speaker 7: The chief also checks another box when it comes to
inclusivity and diversity, and this department, she's a proud member
of the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 1: That just kind of opens the door of people that thought, oh, I.
Speaker 8: Didn't even know that that was an opportunity for me.
Speaker 2: Great, yeah, great, and checking all the boxes, but making
sure there's water for fires.
Speaker 1: Here's a box to check. Here's a box, and some
clearing of the brush.
Speaker 2: But I'm a lesbian, so we don't need no stink
water for the fires.
Speaker 1: Listen, you can't make it up. You can't, can't, you
cannot make it as crap up. It's unreal. Liberals, y'all liberals,
And this is horrible and I don't understand how this
has happened. But here was another story that I saw.
There's apparently reports of mass fire coverage cancelations by insurance
companies just weeks ago, and so apparently James Woods said
that his entire neighborhood had their coverage mass canceled just recently.
I don't know why, but that's that's not okay, you
know what I mean? So now people have lost their
entire homes and have no recourse.
Speaker 2: Wow, I can't believe James Wood still freaking lives there.
I'm actually shocked, like, why hasn't that guy moved already?
I'm shocked.
Speaker 1: That's a great question. Yeah, yeah, that is a great question.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 1: Trump has been talking about forest management and mismanagement in
California for so long that here are some tweets from
twenty nineteen where he directed these to Governor Newsom, saying,
the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, has done a terrible
job of forest management. I told him from the first
day we met. He must clean his forest floors, regardless
of what his bosses, the environmentalists demand of him. He
must also do burns and cut fire stoppers every year
as the fires rage in California burns it is the
same thing, and then he comes to the federal government
for financial help. No more. Get your act together, Governor.
You don't see close to the level of burn in
other states. But our teams are working well together and
putting these massive and many fires out. Great firefighters. Also
open up the ridiculously closed water lanes coming down from
the north. Don't pour it into the Pacific Ocean. Should
be done immediately. California desperately needs water, and you can
have it now. This was six years, three years, yeah,
literally six years ago.
Speaker 2: This guy's it's unreal. And then people are like Trump
is bad, that Trump is bad. Oh my god, he's
providing a solution. Governor Newsom is wasting your money or
pocketing it. And then they're like, oh, yeah, he's He's
the savior of California. Let's go ahead and just keep
reelecting this scumbag and then let it burn. It's unreal.
Speaker 1: And if you think about like all the other states
and countries that have massive forest footprints that do not
have this problem, yep, at what point is it going
to occur to Gavin Newsom that the problem is his management? Well,
he's going to.
Speaker 2: Keep blaming it on climate change, right.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, because this is what these people do.
Speaker 2: He will, he'll keep pointing fingers and being he will
because because and a lot of people in California will be.
Speaker 1: Like, yes, it is. It's just so it's I cannot
believe the story. Like I'm just mind blown that this
is being allowed to happen again and again and again.
Speaker 2: It's so blatant in your face, and yet they just
will not accept it. They won't accept it as reality.
They will not accept this guy as a total he's
just a scumbag and he has taken them for a
ride and he's like taking their money. Basically, I don't
know what he's done with it, and he's not done
his job.
Speaker 1: And this is what happens.
Speaker 2: This is what's happening to that beautiful steak because it
is beautiful.
Speaker 1: It's a gorgeous falling apart. And the environmentalists in their
attempts to save the forests are actually the cause of
them being destroyed. It's so stupid. Yeah, and I just
I can't believe that we have this conversation again. Every
time there's fires in California. This fight happens again and
again and again, and it's like they just never get it.
Speaker 2: They textbook, textbook liberalism. This is what it is, is
a perfect example of it, and they just people will
not wake up.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I know I've talked about this last year,
but Omaha Steaks dot com, slash chicks at Omaha Steaks,
you guys know that you can do a subscription and
you can do subscription packages which are really cool. You
can make like whatever your favorite foods are, you can
create a custom package and then be on a subscription
where you're getting your favorite meats or sides or desserts
or wines on the regular. And I had a subscription
back in Indie, which was fantastic because I like, I
love their seafood, and I love their steaks, and I
love so many of their sides, and so I just
put together my favorite things and then I decide how
often I want those things to come. And so the
subscription plan is probably like, out of all the box
subscriptions that you could have with various companies out there,
Omaha Steaks has the most easy to manage one because
you can change and you can change what's in it,
you can change the frequency of it, you can change
literally everything about it as often as you want, and
you still get the benefits of having the subscription. So
when you go to Omaha Steaks dot com slash chicks
to subscribe, you'll get twelve free burgers, free shipping, and
an extra ten per sent off of everything for the
life of your subscription. So I had to cancel mine
during the move. And also I haven't restarted it yet
because we don't have our grill yet. We're still waiting
for that to be delivered. But I'm telling you once
that comes, I'm getting the subscription going again. And that's
the other thing I could. I could like stop it
for a period of time and then just like restart
it whenever I want. They make it so so easy.
And that's of course on top of the fact that
they have amazing food. You know, my favorite is the
seafood and the steak. Well, I keep finding Min's the filets.
I love the filets bacon wrapped or sans bacon.
Speaker 2: I just like the plain ones, but I will always
take bacon. I've never met at bacon I didn't like.
You know, their foods are delicious.
Speaker 1: Check it out at Omaha Steaks dot com slash sh Yes,
We're going to be talking a little bit about John
Fetterman today because he was on Fox with Brett Bahar
last night for two different topics, and both of which
I gotta say, when John Fetterman is on his game,
he is really on his game. He is actually one
of the sponsors of the Lake and Riley bill that
passed the House yesterday, and so we have the screenshot
talking about the fact that he is like the first,
you know, the first Senate Democrat to sponsor it. This
bill ensures the detention and deportation of criminal illegal aliens
before they can commit horrible, heinous, awful crimes like what
happened to lacan Riley.
Speaker 2: So like if they shop, if they shoplift, or if
they if they do anything minor like that, they will
be put in jail.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they get flagged for jail or deportation. They're already criminals, Okay,
they aren't crossed illegally. So if you get one more strike,
then yeah, you should be out. I don't care if
it's shoplifting or something minor, because you're preventing something major.
And this should be like common sense to everybody. There
should not be a single person in the entirety of
Congress the votes against it. Of course there were, oh
my gosh, there.
Speaker 2: Were one hundred and fifty nine Democrats voted against it.
Speaker 1: Insane, what the hell insane? But he was on with
Brettbear to talk about the bill last night, and he
was even saying, this is why Democrats lose is because
they don't vote for obvious things.
Speaker 8: Here he is, well, I mean, I have a lot
of enormous respect for my colleague in the House, but
I just happen to disagree on this and for me,
just like my friend and colleague in the Senate, like
it's really common sense. And I'd like to remind everybody
that we have hundreds and hundreds of thousands of migrants
here illegally that have convicted of crimes, and I don't
know why who wants to defend to allow them to
remain in our nation. And now if you're here illegally
and you're committing crimes and those things, I don't know
why anybody thinks that it's controversial that they all need
to go.
Speaker 9: Do you think that this was one of, if not
the biggest issue for this election.
Speaker 8: Well, I think if we can't you know, there's forty
seven of us in the Senate, and if we can't
pull up with with seven votes, if we can't get
at least seven out of forty seven, and if we can't,
then that's the reason why we lost. That's one of them.
That's one of why we lost.
Speaker 1: Important man. That stroke gave him clarity, right, It's so much.
Speaker 2: It's just so much clarity, and it just he becomes
clearer and clearer and clearer as the one. You know,
I wouldn't be surprised if he turned conservative at some point.
Speaker 1: I mean it really like he's like Anna Kaspirian, right,
just kind of like waking something on the pink pill,
maybe trying to get down to that red juicy center.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's just nice to see a Democrat that's
not a like stop Trump at all costs, right, he's
not hysterical, he's not just like the screaming lunatic who
will do that at the expense of the American people.
He does have some common sense, go for it, absolutely does.
Speaker 1: Absolutely does. And like you said, this screenshot just you know,
shows one hundred and fifty nine Democrats in the House
voted against the Lake and Riley Act. Thankfully, there were
what forty something, I forget the number, but some number
of Democrats did vote to pass it, thankfully. And now
it'll hit the Senate I think, I mean, I hope
that John Fetterman can convince six other Senate Democrats to
have some common sense. But who knows, And I don't
know when that vote is happening, But obviously the House
bill now goes to the Senate and we'll see those
what happens.
Speaker 2: Those one hundred and fifty nine people need to be shamed, yep.
Speaker 1: Big time. And one final bit of news with headlines
Kamala Harris is going to Singapore, boh Rain, and Germany
to tout the Biden administration's accomplishments.
Speaker 2: Okay, that'll take what zero seconds? It'd be a short
for a little trip there.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so that is happening. And then another thing
that happened. I promise we're going to get to the
Trump presser because there's lots and lots of juicy stuff
from that. But another thing that happened earlier yesterday is
that Mark Zuckerberg released a video talking about some major
changes happening at Meta that obviously includes Facebook and Instagram,
and some exec not him, but like some other executive
from Facebook went on Fox to talk more about Mark's announcement,
and I gotta say I welcomed it.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 1: I was surprised at how many conservatives when I retweeted
the whole video of Mark Zuckerberg talking about the changes,
so many people were like, it's too little, too lay,
I don't trust that guy. He's jerk, and he you know,
he shut down this page in that page, and I
get it, you shouldn't trust Mark Zuckerberg, but there's no
reason to not welcome these changes, and so I just
it's like, would you would you be happier if you
just left things the way they are? Like, I don't
understand what there is to be mad about. These are
still a positive. He's of course he's an alien.
Speaker 2: He's still an alien from gleeborg nine. You guys, he
still is right, but he's he's forty years old.
Speaker 1: Now, and I think exactly.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you are I don't know, if you're
a person in like of advanced age and you're watching
this broadcast and you are say you're I say, advanced age.
If you're in middle age, you're like fifty sixties, seventies,
even right watching this, I think back to when you
were forty and how you started looking at things differently
in life. Perhaps he's doing that even as an alien
from gleeborg nine. You know, I think he wants to
be Elon when he grows up.
Speaker 1: I think, well, he's definitely taking some steps from Elon.
And well, we'll show you just a few little bits.
We're not playing his entire speech, although I encourage everybody
to listen to the whole thing and tell me what
you disagree with, because everything he said, made one hundred
percent since and the changes are very very positive. Now
you can question his motives. You can say, well, he's
just doing this because now Trump's going to be president
and he wants to make sure he's in good favor.
Maybe that's true. I don't care. The fact of the
matter is these are good changes, and so we should
just be happy about that, regardless of the motive. So
he listed out five different things that they're going to do,
different steps that they're going to take. So I tried
to condense his overall talk into just those five bullet points,
and so here they are. I'm just gonna let them
run together and you can hear exactly what he's going
to do right here.
Speaker 11: Specifically, here's what we're going to do. First, we're going
to get rid of fact checkers and replace them community
notes similar to X starting in the US. But the
fact checkers have just been too politically biased and have
destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the US.
So over the next couple of months, we're going to
phase in a more comprehensive community notes system. Second, we're
going to simplify our content policies and get rid of
a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender
that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse. What
started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly
been used to shut down opinions and shut out people
with different ideas, and it's gone too far. Third, we're
changing how we enforce our policies to reduce the mistakes
that account for the vast majority of censorship on our platforms.
We used to have filters that scanned for any policy violation.
Now we're going to focus those filters on tackling illegal
and high severity violations, and for lower severity violations, we're
going to rely on someone reporting an issue before we
take action. Fourth, we're bringing back civic content. For a while,
the community asked to see less politics because it was
making people stressed, so we stopped recommending these posts. But
it feels like we're in a new era. Now we're
starting to get feedback that people want to see this
content again.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 11: Fifth, we're going to move our trust and safety and
content moderation teams out of California, and our US based
content review is going to be based in Texas. As
we work to promote free expression. I think that will
help us build trust to do this work in places
where there is less concern about the bias of our teams. Finally, amazing,
we're going to work with President Trump to push back
on governments around the world. They're going after American companies
and pushing to censor more. The only way that we
can push back on this global trend is with the
support of the US government. And that's why it's been
so difficult over the past four years, when even the
US government has pushed for censorship by going after US
and other American companies, it has emboldened other governments to
go even further. But now we have the opportunity to
restore free expression and I am excited to take it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if anybody should be pissed off of this guy,
it's us because we have been on the receiving end
for the past I mean, listen, we've been We've been
doing this for fifteen years. And we were there when
Facebook was awesome because we started like in what our
business in nine eight and then in two thousand and
nine we got on Facebook and we rode the wave
where it was like Facebook was awesome, you guys, it
was awesome, And then it was like Bam crash, and
he was shadow banning people. People that we knew had
great businesses were destroyed by Facebook. So if anybody should
be pissed off at this guy, it's us. Believe me,
Believe me, Okay. But at the same time, I look
at this and I think he's I think part of
him is scared. I think he's scared because he's seen
what's happened over the past couple of years, and he's
seen a shift in politics, he's seen a shift in culture.
I think he's he's partly scared, and then maybe there's
a part of him that's like changing a little bit
because he is getting older. I think it could be both.
And you know what, I want to see what happens.
I want to see how he deals with it. I'm
going to give him. I'm going to give him a
chance because if he does fail the American people, then
you know, it's it's like a free market, right, like
we can we can all be like, well, Facebook sucks,
and then what is he going to do if he
doesn't if he doesn't come through on his promises, then
what then what data is going to beat the crap
out of him?
Speaker 1: But that is a good point, because I know some
people are really angry because they, like us, were hugely
impacted by the horrible changes that he made and all
the content moderation, all that nonsense, and there's never been accountability.
And I get that, like he has never had to
really pay a price for doing what he did, and
I don't think he ever will. But that's still as
much as I hate that, I cannot argue with a
single change that he's making. And so I'm just trying
to take the good and focus on the positive and
hope for the best, because it's all if those changes happen,
it's going to be really really good for conservatives. And
ault he admitted in not so many words, but he
admitted he censored conservatives. Right, he did. He's he's owning
it to the extent, you know, without saying, man, I
really really censored conservatives. He said everything but those exact words,
and so because.
Speaker 2: Because right, because if he didn't do those things, he
wouldn't be making all these sweeping changes.
Speaker 1: So he basically saying, I.
Speaker 2: Fed up, you guys, and I'm gonna go ahead and
I'm going to make these changes. Because if he's if
he wouldn't be putting in community notes. Then it's like
you're putting in community notes because you screwed up. With
all the fact checkers, it's like he's essentially saying I
screwed up without saying I screwed up. It's like, we
know you screwed up because we were affected by your
screw ups.
Speaker 9: Dude.
Speaker 1: So either there won't be any accountability. I know, I
get it.
Speaker 2: And you know, at the same time, we couldn't hold
him accountable because he was he was a company. What
are we supposed to do. He can do whatever he
wants with this company, right.
Speaker 1: What are we supposed to do with that?
Speaker 2: We just used his platform as just one of the entities,
and we tried for years to get people off of Facebook.
Speaker 1: We tried, Oh my god, we begged all of y'all.
We were like, please just go to our site, or
please go to these other platforms. But they are creatures
of habit, right, and that's why they do it.
Speaker 2: You know, people can hate Facebook all they want, but
you use it every day. So it's like, you know,
so I welcome this change because people never got off
of Facebook, and they're they ever gonna get off it.
Speaker 1: So here's some reaction. Ben Shapiro said, this is a
sea change in the direction at Facebook. Zuckerberg spelled out
his vision of free speech at Georgetown in twenty nineteen
to the consternation and shock of the left. Facebook then
proceeded to cave engaging in mass censorship, and the tide
has turned good for Zuckerberg. I completely agree with all
of that. Jim Scott Adams. I think his next saying,
I don't think this is a mystery. Zuckerberg is insanely
smart and capable. He's reading the room. He's a patriot.
Apparently he likes free speech as much as you do
and sees the same issues you see. Business wise, he
needs the US government to pressure other nations to stop censoring.
There is no other way. Facebook has been crippled by
their own biased fact checkers. Community notes works. He's a
fast follower. Summary. This is smart, perfectly timed and on points. Yeah,
he's a fast follower.
Speaker 2: He sees Elon and he's like, I want to be
like Elon, and that if he wants to be like Elon,
that's not a bad thing.
Speaker 1: That's not a bad thing at all, not a bad
thing at all. A couple more reactions Brian Stelter said,
big picture, Mark Zuckerberg just announced sweeping changes to the
social Internet, all in line with the desires of Trump
and Trump voters. Out with the fact checkers that conservatives deride,
in with more permissive rules for posting conservative opinions. In
with more free speech. Right, how's your a bad thing?
Speaker 2: Well, I guess it's a bad thing for Brian Stelter.
Speaker 1: The journalist. Yeah, uh huh. Nicole Shanahan is one of
the people that are bitter, and I get it, Like,
I totally understand her point as well. She said, this
is interesting timing. Four years after censoring a sitting president,
zuck suddenly announces these reforms right after the same man
he banned from his platform gets re elected by the people.
What about the thousands who were censored and humiliated for
speaking true? She's power, He's not wrong, She's totally wrong.
But he doesn't. But what's he is?
Speaker 2: He gonna be held accountable, We're gonna do put him
in jail. That's like, what can we do except welcome change? Right?
We can't do anything about it. The guy runs a
company the way he wants to run a I mean,
I can't what am.
Speaker 1: I supposed to do. I would have loved to have.
Speaker 2: Like punished him in some way when he tried to
destroy us years ago.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing. I never liked the guy. I still
think he's an alien from gleeborg nine. I don't like him,
but I but I do welcome changes. If he's gonna
he's gonna provide a platform with more free speach, I
have to applaud that because I like free speech period.
Speaker 1: And you can understand that he is self serving and
money oriented, and you can understand all of those things
and still be glad that there are positive changes coming. Like,
I don't understand why people are so dug in their
in on their heels to be mad about it. Why
what is the point of being mad about positive change?
I don't get it. I do not get it. The
people that were most surprised about Mark Zuckerberg's announcement apparently
were the fact checkers that he is getting rid of.
So according to this tweet, fact checkers claim they were
blindsided by Meta's decision to end their partnerships, and they
reportedly feared they won't be able to secure new business.
Speaker 2: No, no, what are they going to do with their lives,
Like do you have it on a resume?
Speaker 12: Like?
Speaker 2: What is that a? Like that's an actual job title.
I was a fact checker at Facebook.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna go do?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 1: I just could not be less sad about begin This
is the best karma ever. They could go work as
producers on the view. I guess what do you do?
I just love this? And then the best headline ever
came from the New York Times, which Babylon Bees. Pile
Man immediately made fun of. New York Times said meta
says fact checkers were the problem. Fact checkers rule that false.
That's the greatest sole Man was like, I would like
to offer whoever wrote this headline at the Times a
job at the Babylon Bee. That was so great, It's
so perfect.
Speaker 9: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Now we got to get into all of the apparently
new countries that were going to dominate and take over,
maybe by force, we don't know. So yeah, yesterday was
big day in the Trump world. It started out at
least for me, this was my timeline. When I started
to realize what was happening there was I saw this
tweet that said breaking Trump confirms that Donald Trump Junior's
trip to Greenland is a part of an effort to
come up with a deal to bring Greenland into US territory.
He said, Don Junior and my reps are landing in Greenland.
The reception has been great. They and the free world
need safety, security, strength and peace. This is a deal
that must happen. And I was like, wait, what videos.
So the first video that you're going to see here
is Trump Senior, Donald Trump calling in on Don Junior's
phone when, like I guess, he first arrived to Greenland
and he's among all these people in maga hats and
like they're super excited about potentially being taken over by America,
and so don Or Donald Trump called in to talk
to them on speaker. And so that's the video that
you're going to see right here.
Speaker 13: And he's a real hunter things that you love and
agree to go up there with his two very talented
friends and the other the other g bun of other people.
So I just want to say that we're it's a
very special.
Speaker 6: Places security for itself.
Speaker 13: But also needs security very much for the world. The
location really you see the people in the ships sailing around,
and then that the right hips and then the ships
you want to know about. So we need security in
the our country needs it, and all the world needs
it so strategically.
Speaker 9: So.
Speaker 2: You guys like that, right, This is also it's all
very interesting, right. It's like, if we could just get
Canada and Greenland, and then maybe someday if we could
just get Mexico too, or I said, that whole swath
of land, it would just be you know, who knows.
It's like, we gotta figure out we're gonna call it
because Greenland. Remember the thing I said you this morning.
It's like Elon reposted a picture of Trumps standing there, going,
it's not very green. Yeah, we need to rename it something,
because Greenland is not very green. Iceland is like green
is Iceland's kind of greenish. I think I think Greenland
should be called Iceland, and Iceland should be called Fairyland
because they have like such a strong culture of like
like all the folklore and stuff. My kids love Iceland.
You guys are adult kids. They all have been to
Iceland like a gajillion times, and they love Iceland and
they love all the fairies, like folklore and all the
stuff that's there. And I'm like, they just call that Fairyland,
and then we could call Greenland Iceland.
Speaker 1: It would just make more sense.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: I did see a video that was this was not
a good idea, but like the potential. Someone said that
if you if Canada and the United States and Mexico
become one giant country, you use the C from Canada,
the U from United States, and the M from Mexico,
and that's the new name. And I was like, absolutely not.
I don't think we want to name that. That's inappropriate,
very very inappropriate.
Speaker 2: And then there are some people on Twitter who are
saying that this is the new world order.
Speaker 1: There's like that, well, we'll get to that. We're going
to get I've got that's sweet. Yeah, But because we
have to get to the like how does always work anyway?
Who owns it now? Is it for sale? We have
a lot of history stuff to get to to. This
is going to be a long segment because of the
presser and because of all the different countries that Trump
has apparently got his eyes set on. But here's a
little bit more of Don Junior. When he first arrived,
this is obviously his first time to Greenland. He was
just soaking it all in here.
Speaker 14: He is, guys, we're here in Greenland's the founder seventeen
twenty one. That yellow house with the red top that
was his original spot.
Speaker 9: It's where he moved.
Speaker 14: This is where it all started out here. Just credible scenery.
Speaker 1: It is beautiful, super cool stuff, so beautiful. And Charlie
Kirk was with him, so Charlie Kirk also went on
the trip. And then they ran into a bunch of
young guys all in the maga hats that are super
stoked about this potential takeover. Here's that clip.
Speaker 7: Okay, we're hearing Greenland with Don Jr.
Speaker 11: Everyone wants to be on TikTok.
Speaker 1: What do you guys think of America? Love America and
you love Trump?
Speaker 14: The youth of Greenland a lot of it, guys. We're
hearing a lot of it.
Speaker 15: And you guys all watch TikTok.
Speaker 1: Thank you live from Greenland. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it's amazing.
So I didn't know any of the Greenland history. I
had to look all this up. You know, this is
not something that I know much about, but it's a
territory of Denmark and they apparently, as you can see
from all these red hat like super excited people there's
a popular independence movement. This is according to Reuters, and
their Prime minister says they want independence from Denmark. So
it is a territory of Denmark's now and they do
not seem to want to budge on that, and so
I don't. That obviously is going to cause a big conversation,
as you might expect between America and Denmark. And then
now Trump of course is also talking about acquiring the
Panama Now which has been operated by Panama since ninety
nine thanks to Jimmy Carter. So that gives you a
little bit of the history. Well, play some clips from
Trump's presser, because this is where he talked about all
of this. He even talked about changing the name of
the Gulf of Mexico. Here he is on that.
Speaker 9: Going to be changing the name of the Gulf of
Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful
ring that covers a lot of territory. The Gulf of America.
What a beautiful name, and it's appropriate. It's appropriate. And
Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour
into our country. They can stop them, and we're going
to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada because Canada,
they come through Canada too, and the drugs that are
coming through are at record numbers.
Speaker 1: YEP.
Speaker 2: I was telling my husband last night, I hope that
one of the first things that he does is he
declares the cartel a terrorist organization and that like he
sticks our military on them, because it's it's the number
one killer eighteen to forty four ages eighteen to forty
four is fentanyl in this country. I feel like that
is a public health crisis. I feel like that is
to me, that's an invasion. That's something they're trying to
kill our people. Obviously they are killing our people. So
to clear the cartel a terrorist organization and just make
it stop and then yeah, like let's let's figure it out.
Plus Mexico's taken tons of money from us, like yeah,
well in Canada too, Yeah, they're all they all just
sponge off of us. And then like Mexico's killing our people.
I mean, it's it's outrageous to make all that happen.
If I were a president, that's what I would do.
Speaker 15: Well.
Speaker 1: He was asked because obviously he always takes questions from reporters.
He talked more yesterday than Biden has to the American
people in his entire presidency, without question. I mean, that's
how he always. He is always transparent, and he's always
you know, people get freaked out by, like some of
the things that he says that seem so over the
top in the moment, but I think a lot of
this he does to start the conversation and he just
goes for the shakanawe right away, and then it sounds ridiculous,
but then people start talking about it and it becomes
a thing, you know what I mean, it's yeah, which
is what all of this feels like. And so when
a reporter said, wait, can you assure people that you're
not going to do this with military or economic force?
And here's what he said.
Speaker 15: To Greenland and the king out so forth. Can you
assure the world that as you try to get control
of these areas, you are not going to use military
or economic coercion?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 2: I love He's like, No, I'm not going to do that.
I'm not gonna Nope.
Speaker 1: Oh I love it too. He's like, no, I'm not
going to assure you that. I'm not going to assure
you that. To you, it's oh my God. And he
was also asked about hopefully the next Prime Minister of
Canada as Pierre Poliev. He was asked about Pierre Poliev,
who's already been outspoken saying, no, We're not going to
become part of the United States. Like I'm a Canada
first guy, just like Trump is an America first guy. Yeah,
and so here was Trump's attitude about Pierre's comments, who.
Speaker 16: Work under the assumption that you're serious about making Canada
fifty first state of the United States.
Speaker 8: The leader of the Conservative.
Speaker 16: Already Canada said, under no circumstances.
Speaker 9: I will never be a Maybe he won't win, but
maybe he will do to you.
Speaker 16: It suggested, listen, I don't get a ways you're considering
military force to acquire Anama in Greenland? Are you also
considering a military force to annex and acquire.
Speaker 10: No economic force, because Canada and the United States, that
would really be something.
Speaker 1: So he put these two tweets up. I'm like, he's
so trolling at this point, he put both of these
tweets up.
Speaker 2: Scott and the Libs are losing their ship right now.
Speaker 1: God, I'm hearing it.
Speaker 2: I'm here for it. I'm just here for it. I'm
loving all of this so much. They're just like, oh God, yeah,
he's gonna, he's gonna.
Speaker 9: You guys.
Speaker 2: Just shut so great down an Acosta, like, just down Justin.
Speaker 1: Trudeau, who's like already resigned and he's on his way out.
He's he's trying to be like mister Alpha right now,
which is so hilarious. He said, there isn't a snowballs
chance in hell that Canada would become part of the
United States. Workers and communities in both our countries benefit
from being each other's biggest trading and security partner. Well,
I get it, Justin, you're protecting your homeland. Pierre Poliev,
who I adore, We adore him like he would be
amazing for Canada. He also chimed in and said specifically
on Twitter that, well, at first we have to show
Elon's response to the Elon said, girl, you're not the
governor of Canada anymore, so it doesn't matter what you say.
Speaker 2: I know, because the whole when I was reading that
tweet from Justin Trudeau was literally picturing him in a
pair of like pink panties looking at himself in the mirror.
Speaker 1: Is that wrong? Because that's literally that's who he is.
Oh my godd, response was perfect, absolutely perfect, and then
he started it with girl girl, Oh my god. Sorry,
so great. But back to Pierre. So Pierre also, you know,
he has to defend Canada. He said, we will never
be the fifty first state. Period. We are a great
and independent country and we're the best friend to the
United States. So he talked about the partnership. He said
he would fight for Canada when I am Prime minister.
He said, well, where we build the military and take
back control of the border to secure Canada and the US.
We will take back control of our Arctic to keep
Russia and China out. We will slash taxes, slash red tape,
green light massive resource projects to bring home paychecks and
production to our country. In other words, we will put
Canada first. And of course that makes total sense. That's great. Yeah,
that's great. Trump here.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Trump also tweeted saying many people in Canada love being
the fifty first state. The US can no longer suffer
the massive trade deficits and subsidies, that Canada needs to
stay afloat. Just tonw this and resign. If Canada merged
with US, there would be no tariffs, taxes would go down,
and they would be totally secure from the threat of
Russian and Chinese ships that are constantly surrounding them together.
What a great nation it would be. And Joe Rogan said,
I say we let Mexico into I'm really serious about this,
you guys. The problem is that that there's a lot
of Democrats and liberal freaks in Canada. That's why they've
had so many problems. I don't know that we want
a fifty first Democrat state, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: We just want like a giant California. Yeah, I don't know,
do you know?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Se Cup was on a panel with about Canada specifically,
and she's all miss arrogant, like Canada doesn't need us,
and Scott had to press her on that, which was
of course, I love.
Speaker 17: Anything that Greenland is Maca.
Speaker 18: That would be very rising for me to learn. But listen,
I'd love to acquire Canada too. Doesn't mean I can,
doesn't mean I will. In fact, the last time a
country peacefully acquired another country was in eighteen fifty three
in the Gadsmen Purchase. When we purchase territory from Mexico,
and the peacefully part is negotiable because usually we don't
go around peacefully acquiring sovereign countries, including and especially giant
ones like Canada that are doing just fine without us.
Speaker 14: So are they I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how well they're doing.
Speaker 19: They're throwing out their prime minister, and I don't know
if they're doing well or not.
Speaker 15: Acquire us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we discovered about President, Your prime minister is the
reason that people are happy to me.
Speaker 6: Can I say something?
Speaker 2: I love that? She clutches her heart, She's like, I
can't believe that you would go against me.
Speaker 1: Well again, because everybody's talking about this. This is precisely
the point he does. The bomb drops right, gets everybody
all riled up, and then like kind of tapers back
to normalcy. And in this clip from CNN with Caitlin
Collins John Bolton, who I know, believe me, I cannot
stand the guy. It's weird because you can tell that
he actually agrees with the idea of the United States
taking over Greenland. He just refuses to give Trump any
credit for how he's attempting to do it. Here he
is with a little bit of more history, which is
actually helpful, But then he's got to put in a
dig at Trump at the end.
Speaker 20: Talking about a treaty ally of the United States. Greenland
today is a member of NATO. I mean, just so
people get that point. We have a treaty called the
Defense of Greenland Treaty with Denmark right now. That actually
is a vehicle that could be used. It's been amended before.
It's a post World War two treaty that gave us
the Tully Air Force Base, which we have in Greenland
today and could be modified. There are a lot of
ways to go about it. I would like to see
something pretty expansive. I think Greenland is part of the
North American land mass, and I think it's not irrational
to say that a closer political relationship with the United
States makes sense. We occupied Greenland before Pearl Harbor during
World War II, when the local government of Greenland at
the time, after Denmark had fallen to the Nazis, fearful
of being taken over by Canada or Norway, invited the
United States in. After Donald Trump's remarks, I think it's
very unlikely the current local government of Greenland would do that.
We've got a lot at stake here. This is a
serious issue We've got to proceed responsibly. That press conference
today and other things Trump has said is not preceding responsibly.
And what just baffles me is that he doesn't understand
he's himself from achieving the objectives he says he wants.
Speaker 1: I disagree same totally. He knows the exactly what he's doing.
He knows exactly art of the deal.
Speaker 2: John Dalton, take all the seats, dude, nobody cares what
you think.
Speaker 1: Well. Scott Jennings a great summary of the press conference
and is trying to get everybody to just calm the
f down.
Speaker 20: Here.
Speaker 19: He is you can think small if you want to.
I think Trump's thinking big, and he's thinking about US interests.
There are US interests in Greenland. They have rare of minerals.
We already have some kind of space facility there, and
it would help fortify us against the Russians. The Panama
Canal is, of course of interest when you consider the
Chinese incursions and influence in this hemisphere. What Donald Trump
is saying to the world is we are not a
shrinking violet anymore. We are the United States of America.
We are the pre eminent superpower. And reporters keep asking
him to rule things out and take things off the table,
and it would be the height of stupid to do
so now, or to anything else before he takes office.
Why would he tell the rest of the world what
he may or remain.
Speaker 6: Here's one reason why.
Speaker 18: Let me play what he said. This was speaking about
Putin's invasion of You shut up, Abby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just these people are just they're not used
to seeing giant hairy balls. They're just not used to
seeing It's alarming to them. They're like, oh, God, Harry,
giant ball, you know. And we are like.
Speaker 1: Oh yay, loove giant hairy balls. Yeah, they're guys balls.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 1: We're super excited.
Speaker 2: We're super excited about it. And they don't like the balls.
We like the balls. I mean, you're ogv says nobody
like I like balls.
Speaker 1: Same.
Speaker 2: A lot of people here like balls, and so we're yeah,
we're excited to see them back.
Speaker 1: It's with purpose and by design, and I love all
of it. Jesse Waters also weighed in on these potential
land occupations. Here's what he said.
Speaker 21: A lot of minerals, you could project a lot of
force to counter Russia through there. But it's also a
very poor country, and we basically do whatever we want
there anyway, and it would really piss off Denmark and
all of Scandinavia, and they would ruin our access to
the North Sea and the Baltics. See I did study
greg And then in terms of Panama, yes, I definitely
think they need to reduce the transit rates because we're
getting ripped off every time we sail through there. But
I don't want to occupy that stupid country.
Speaker 1: It's run by cartels.
Speaker 5: That'd be a mess.
Speaker 21: Canada, at first I wanted it, and I tried to
divide it into two states, and then I realized we'd
be adding Montana basically for the Republicans and electorally like a.
Speaker 1: Texas for the Democrats. And I don't like that.
Speaker 21: But the fact that they don't want us to take
them over makes me want to invade. I want to
quench my imperialist thirst.
Speaker 1: Good gosh, that's hysterical. That is really funny. Isn't that perfect?
That great? Love it? And then once again John Fetterman
making all the sense and being the voice of reason
for his side of the aisle, telling everybody, can you
just calm down when it comes to stuff? That Trump
says at his pressers. Here he is again on Special
Report last night.
Speaker 8: There's a lot of talk about Greenland, for example, now,
and I know a lot of there's a lot of
freak outs, you know, and of course I would never
support taking it by force, but I do think it's
I do think it's a responsible conversation if they were
open to acquiring it, and you know, whether just buying
it out right, I mean, if anyone think that's bonkers,
it's like, well, well remember the Louisiana purchase. I think
Alaska is pretty pretty a great deal too, fifty million dollars.
I think it was. It was recorded, it was it
was referred to as Seward's folly, and now that was Alaska. Now,
So I mean, you know, open and having all kinds
of conversations as well. And now I don't think we
it's not helpful to freak out. But some things might
work out, some may not. But that's part of ongoing dialogue.
But he hasn't even take office in two weeks, and
you know, we really need to pace ourselves if we're
going to freak out over every least tweet or every
less conversation or press conference.
Speaker 1: But yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean that's the difference between them and us. We
want to have responsible conversations, and they think men can
get pregnant exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: And then, as you mentioned earlier, you sent me this tweet.
I don't know who Andrew Lynn is, but Andrew Lynn said,
if you're wondering why there's talk of bringing in Canada
and Greenland, here's your answer. Trump was installed to usher
in the new world order and to get conservatives to
accept it, and it's working. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I you know, I saw this and I went down
the rabbit hole a little bit yesterday, and there's a
lot of people that feel this way, right because they're yeah,
because they're saying, you know, this is their trying to
get conservatives to accept it, you know that kind of
like she said, And listen, if that were the case,
then I don't understand why they'd be trying to keep
him out of office so hard and why they tried
to kill him twice, right, I don't So I'm not
buying this.
Speaker 1: Listen, I am this is one bull crap.
Speaker 2: It's bull crap when you come when it comes to
conspiracy theories, I am your huckleberry. I will go down
any rabbit hole with you. I am serious. I will
get in the car and I will drive down all
the rabbit holes with you. But with this no, sorry,
I'm just not buying it. I'm just not doing it,
you guys, because they why would they just if this
was the case, and if it was some liberal weirdo
you know thing.
Speaker 1: They there's just no way. They hate the guy.
Speaker 2: They don't want there, They've tried to keep him out,
they want to kill him.
Speaker 1: I just don't.
Speaker 2: I can't buy this. I can't. And her response to
that was, well, that was stage two. Oh my god,
just stop enough already, you know you I know this
is the this is the thing. So now I'm not
but we're just letting you know that this is also
talk on the internet, and I just know.
Speaker 1: Thank you. But now back to a couple of just
clips from the presser, because there were so many good
ones it's impossible to choose, like, go back and watch
the whole thing because he's always so entertaining. The same guy,
the same reporter who at the last presser got his
handslapped for saying, hey, what's your strategy on Iran? Like
what are you going to do to Iran? And Trump's like,
I'm gonna tell you. I'm not gonna tell you my
military strategy. The same guy you guys asked him again.
And here's what happened.
Speaker 17: The last time you're the last time you were here,
you were asked a question about the US possibly launching
a preemptive strike on You said you wouldn't answer. You
ques on Iran, the US launching a preemptive strike on
around too the prier facilities.
Speaker 9: And I said, I don't, I don't talk about it.
Speaker 10: It's a military strategy. Well it's not really, because only
as stupid person who would answer it. Look, it's a
military strategy. And I'm not answering your questions on military strategy.
Speaker 1: I mean, why is this hard? Like stop asking that ship? Like,
what is wrong with you? It's really stupid.
Speaker 2: It was nice to see competence on a stage though,
for the first time in four years, wasn't it?
Speaker 13: Just?
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody would that's projecting that much strength, right, it's
got so Kamala if Kamala were present, right, I can't.
I can't. She'd be so unburdened. She'd be like, so
Greenland is going to occupy America. We're going to become
part of Greenland.
Speaker 2: Now she'd be talking about like the the topography of Greenland.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, like Greenland. It's just it's
not it's not green. Yeah, it's very no there. Yeah,
we dodged the biggest bullet of all time. Biggest bullet
of all time. Trump has a new Special envoy to
the Middle East. His name is Steve Whitcoff, and Steve
was with him at this presser to talk about what's
going on in the Middle East and specifically to say
it's time for the hostages to be released, like enough
is enough. And this was another moment in which Trump
shows just enormous strength. It's a little scary. It's a
little like Rocketman kind of you know, provocation if you will,
But I welcome it. It is a sea change from
what we had before. And it is time that the
hostages get returned. And here is Trump's timeline.
Speaker 10: Do I have to define it for you? All hell
will break out if those hostages aren't back. I don't
want to hurt your negotiation. If they're not back by
the time I get into office, all hell will break
out in the Middle East, and it will not be
good for Hamas and it will not be good frankly
for anyone. All hell will break out. I don't have
to say anymore, but that's what it is. And they
should have given them back a long time. They should
have never taken them. They should have never been the
attack of October seventh.
Speaker 2: People forget that we'll ever do that is long freaking
overdue from anybody in our government. Again balls, yep, hairiest,
biggest balls.
Speaker 1: I welcome it. It is glorious. He also talked about
fixing elections and specifically was ripping on the fact that
there are some areas California that continue to count you
know what I mean, like that that took forever to count.
And he's done with this.
Speaker 10: We've got to fix the election so that we get
honest counts and they get done by ten o'clock in
the evening or something thereabouts. They have places where they're
still counting votes.
Speaker 1: And it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: He's so right, but it's is January eighth.
Speaker 1: Get your crap together.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Seriously, it's wrong with you. It's just incredible adults in charge.
Speaker 1: And then the last clip that I have from this
presser was just when he was talking about all of
these actions that Biden has taken over the past couple
months since the election to just make things as difficult
as possible, not just for Trump and the transition, but
for us. For he's making things horrible for Americans, and
it seems just like it's out of spite. And Trump
talked about that here.
Speaker 10: He is er inheriting a difficult situation from the outgoing administration,
and they're trying everything they can to make it more difficult.
Speaker 9: Inflation is continuing to rage, and interest rates are far
too high.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they're just yeah, it's just the seagull
thing again. We're just crapping all over the place because
they don't care about Americans. They're just full of spite.
It's kind of like what Joe Biden did on his
first day of office, right, He undid all the things
that President Trump did, all the good things when it
came to immigration, etc. And so because he doesn't care
about you, he doesn't care about me. He just cares
about being spiteful and hateful, and he's so malicious towards
Donald Try. They have such severe TDS, they're gonna just
do whatever they can to undo all the things and
to make things terrible.
Speaker 1: And we suffer. Yeah, And I actually saw on Twitter
this morning this morning. I don't know when he tweeted.
I think yesterday, but Joe Biden's official account tweeted something
about how because of the executive actions he Biden took,
the border is now more secure, and I'm like, what
You're high dude, Oh my god, are you serious? So delicious?
Eric Swawell mister Fartman himself also tweeted and this is
either I saw it this morning, so it was probably
yesterday or the day before. He said something like Trump's busy,
like talking about taking over other countries. Meanwhile, we need
to do something about the price of eggs or the
price of grocery. And I'm like, didn't you pass the
Inflation Reduction Act? You jackat You're the ones that are
the reason that prices won't go down, right, And now
there's to say he needs to be focused on lowering prices.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Biden is still president. Yeah, why aren't
the prices taken care of? Why hasn't it happened? He's
had four freaking years. Bart Man, Oh my god, that
makes me mad.
Speaker 1: It's just donereal.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing I wanted to mention this yesterday.
I completely spaced out when we were talking about like
all the January sixth mumbo jumpo and all of that stuff.
There are so many weird ass libs on all of
the socials right now. You see bunches and bunches of
videos of these Democrats who are convinced Q style that
Kamala is going to still be president. Like I keep
seeing video after video of all these Democrats saying this
is all part of the plan, and just wait because
on January twentieth, like some big thing is going to
happen and Kamala is going to be the next president.
Trump is not going to take office. Don't worry, like
it's crazy.
Speaker 2: They're crazy there, like the cuers on that set. But
what big thing do they think is going to happen?
Speaker 1: Then? How it was going to happen. They didn't think
that Kamala was going to certify that was the first thing,
and then of course she did, so they had to
adjust their expectations. It's just CUE stuff all over again,
only it's on the left.
Speaker 2: It's like the Q people saying that John Junior is
going to come back.
Speaker 1: And be president. Q. Yeah, it's blue Q. Yeah, it's
crazy man, Yeah, crazy. Okay, we also need to talk
to We've got some really just like juicy good stuff
about like terrible, terrible people, one of those people being
Sunny Houston. So perhaps you saw that her husband, the surgeon,
he's an orthopedic surgeon. He's part of a giant federal case,
like a RICO case. So he has been accused, along
with several others, of committing insurance fraud in a bombshell lawsuit.
And there's more specifics that came from the Daily Mail
reporting and others. There were other outlets obviously that talked
to about this too. But he is alleged to have
received kickbacks by performing surgeries and then fraudulently billing insurance companies,
specifically American Transit, which ensures uber and lyft drivers. And
this is the one of the largest racketeer RICO cases
ever filed in New York. So he's accused of having
knowingly provided fraudulent and medical and other healthcare services, including
Arthur's scoptic surgeries, which is what I just had.
Speaker 2: So this over two hundred defendants in this. It's a
lot a lot of people. Yeah, so I wonder if
she's going to be a screamy about this as she
was about Donald Trump. I mean, since her husband is
facing legit charges, this is awful, you know, and they
rail against like I'm sure they talked about the insurance stuff,
you know with dude.
Speaker 1: Well, what's funny is that somebody dug up from just
around Christmas an episode of The View right after the
United Healthcare CEO got shot. She went on a tear
about it and actually kind of implicated her husband. And
so a lot of people are posting this clip because
it sounds like she's saying, oh, he's so benevolent, like
he's such an amazing doctor, but she actually also says
that he did exactly what he's being accused of. Here
is the clip that everyone is talking about from a
couple weeks ago.
Speaker 3: I mean, I agree with mostly everything that's been said.
I mean, we know that, you know, only about thirty
one percent of Americans trusts our healthcare system. We have
a terrible healthcare system, and you know, doctors suffer because
of big corporations as well. Doctors that want to do good,
like my husband, you know, operates on someone even though
they don't have insurance. And then has to sue health
insurance companies to get paid for the work that he's
changed his whole life to do.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's probably not a good thing to have said
on the air. Probably don't want to say that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he obviously makes pretty good money because
they they've been married since nineteen ninety eight. They currently
live in a ten bedroom, ten bathroom estate and purchase
New York.
Speaker 1: Well, they need that.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's I mean, she's really she's super oppressed though.
I you know, I would kind of love to be
that oppressed. That's some seriously good oppression right.
Speaker 1: There, really awesome oppression right there. Yeah. Well, he's of
course denying it, saying it's all big fat misunderstanding, so worse.
That will be interesting and maybe he maybe he's totally
in the clear. I don't know, I have no idea.
Speaker 2: You think with two hundred defendant two hundred defendants, you
think that he's in the clear.
Speaker 1: You think I'm just saying I'm not gonna get I'm
not going to get sued by him for saying this
is all true. I won't either, But I feel like
it's alleged.
Speaker 2: But I feel like, you know, it's you and I
talk about that karma thing, and I feel like this
may be a little bit of that.
Speaker 1: Is what this is. This does feel like some really
delicious carment. Also, perhaps you guys have maybe over the break,
you may have noticed that Candice Owens she has gone
off the deep end in my opinion, like you may
feel otherwise, and that's totally your prerogative. She is absolutely
obsed with Israel in a negative way, like she cannot
stop criticizing them and criticizing Jewish people, and it's gotten
really weird, like it's gotten oss obsessive. And the Babylon
b had posted just like some funny headlines about her,
like making fun of that whole thing. And so she
got into a big fat fight with Seth Dillon on
Twitter and apparently they have a history, like they have
had a positive relationship, and now that is totally in
the garbage can. So they went back and forth on Twitter.
There's been massive fights, and now she is obsessed with
the Babylon b being like super Jewish or like taken
over by the Jews, and so on her podcast, there
were a couple of these clips where she's obsessed with
Babylon Bee. Here are two of them.
Speaker 22: Now I'm like looking into the babylon Bee because there's
just something weird there. There's just now I've got a vibe.
It's like there's a lot happening behind the scenes. Like
I said, I can give you that sid because I
don't have any nbas that prevent me from telling you
what happened.
Speaker 1: But they're suspicious. They're very suspicious. Ma blon b.
Speaker 22: It's like very It's like the Zionist Bee, it's like
the you know, Babylonian Talmudic bee is what it's really become.
It's just very obvious that they are worshiping Israel and
that they base their jokes on people who don't worship
Israel and be being that in Yahoo and people have
storry to notice that thread.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am. We've made fun of her shoulder pads before.
I'm surprised she hasn't been like that. Chick's on the
Right is run by.
Speaker 1: Jews, all the bad Jews. You know MAT's parents, one
of them is the Jew. She has lost it.
Speaker 2: What it It's just gross. It's gross, man, Okay.
Speaker 1: And now she wants to run for president. Yes, she's
gonna run for president. She tweeted this yesterday, saying, I
run for president with Thomas Massey in twenty twenty eight
or twenty thirty two.
Speaker 2: Can't decide Thomas Massey would be her vice president.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe she would be his running mate.
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: But because she said I'm gonna run for president, she's
going to be president, so he would be the VP. Yeah,
he would be the VP for Candace. I wonder does
he know this? Does he is he aware of this?
Speaker 1: Is he told?
Speaker 2: I wonder how he feels about this? We should probably
like ask him.
Speaker 1: That is a big yikes. So anyway that is happening
with Candace right now. Also Sam Altman, if you don't
recognize that name, or if you do but you can't remember,
how he is the one that runs open AI chat GPT.
He's not a good person. I don't think. Never have
gotten good vibes from that guy. And now he has
had to be probably more forthcoming than he would like
to be about some family drama that is occurring in
his own family. Apparently he has a kind of whacked
out sister who is suing him, and he released this
big statement from his mother, brothers, and himself about his
sister Annie, and he's basically saying calling her out for
having mental health issues, being unstable, and that she's basically
on this money grab even though she gets a ton
of monthly financial support through their late father's estate, she's
demanding more. She's now suing for more, and now they
are going to be countersuing her. So like all kinds
of crazy family drama all up in the Altman.
Speaker 2: Household, I don't understand why she's suing is. I don't
get it.
Speaker 1: She's, I guess, for more money. She wants more money
and she knows he's got it, like he's got a
lot of money.
Speaker 2: Like improper withholding of their father's burrow and K funds,
packing her WiFi and shadow banning her from various websites
including chet, gg, chat, GPT, Twitter, and more.
Speaker 1: And she's claiming Sam abused her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the worst allegation she has made is that she
was sexually abused by Sam as a child. I feel
like that's kind of a big deal. She has also
claimed instances of sexual abuse from others. Her claims have
evolved drastically over time. Yeah, this man, that's my family's
pretty dysfunctional.
Speaker 1: But damn yeah, so there's some drama happening all up
and there. And then for those of you who follow
celebrity gossip, and even if you don't, you likely have
seen a lot of headlines about the Blake Lively Justin
Baldoni spat. I was ignoring it because I just can't
be bothered with super super rich people being mad at
each other.
Speaker 2: I know, I'm one hundred percent with you. I'm just like,
should I care about this?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 1: I don't care about this. Yeah, So there's I love
Colleen Hoover. She's one of my favorite authors, and she's
the author of this movie. It Ends with Us, the
book I read, and so Blake Lively is the star
of that Netflix movie based on that book.
Speaker 2: And so you guys see that. Did anybody in here
see that? Because I tried to watch it, mock thought,
and I tried to watch it.
Speaker 1: I liked it. I thought it was really good.
Speaker 2: I lost interest after ten minutes. I don't know if
anybody in here saw it, but chime in, I'd love
to hear I just lost.
Speaker 1: They are co stars in that movie, but he is
also the director, and so apparently she sued him for
sexually harassing her on set and then he is now
going to counter There's all kinds of drama, and I
cannot tell you that I've kept up with the details,
because again I haven't. I've seen the headlines and I've
just been like, I don't really want to invest a
lot of energy into this. But then last night I
saw Sage Steele talking about it, because I was kind
of assuming that he was the bad guy in this,
even though I know a lot of people complain about
Blake Lively and saying she's a diva and stuff. But
for some reason, her recounting of some of the sexual
harassment specifics seemed so specific that they seemed real, and
so I thought, ow, he sounds really icky and so
like kind of in the back of my mind, I
just thought he was at fault. Well, then I saw
Stage Steele release a video last night saying that his
lawyer is her lawyer, like her lawyer that you know,
got her, worked with her throughout the whole ESPN P
and yeah, so she is like super pro Justin Baldoni
when it comes to this story, and gave a lot
of reasons why. And then that lawyer was on Megan
Kelly's show, and you guys, they are not messing around.
It is about to get super super real. Listen to this.
Speaker 8: Are you going to sue Blake Lively too into oblivion?
Speaker 23: Megant? You see this lawsuit, it's all going to be
based on evidence. It's not going to be just a lawsuit.
It's going to be the kind of lawsuit that is
full of evidence, missions, documents which proved exactly what she
did and how she bullied her way through the process
to take over the movie and used her PR people
to try and destroy Justin. There's a number of different
defendants here. Stephanie Jones will be all over this complaint.
That is the PR agent who was supposed to be
working for Justin Baldoni. Leslie Sloane, there's another PR agent
will be part of this lawsuit that was Blake Lively's.
Blake Lively will be sued, and we're carefully considering other
people that will be sued also. Ryan Reynolds, for sure.
Speaker 1: Now it's getting interesting. It's good. Now I'm a little
interested too. When did you start on? Did you start
suing like them?
Speaker 5: Back?
Speaker 2: There's a counter suit and right, Ryan Reynolds gets all
wrapped up in it, and they didn't go to the
Golden Globes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, none of that, like either Justin or Blake.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Justin went or not, but I
know Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively stay stayed home.
Speaker 1: It's so interesting to me because I watched it and
thought they had fantastic chemistry, Like I thought this was
I thought it was great, like I.
Speaker 2: Liked the show, and I saw some lady on Twitter
her spin, her hot take was that they actually did
hit it off during the movie and they did have
good chemistry and that like she may have had the
hots for him, or he may have they may have
had the hots for each other. And then Ryan Reynolds
did not like that. That was a hot take. I
know nothing about that because I didn't watch the movie,
but because I only got ten minutes in, I'm like,
I'm bored with this.
Speaker 1: It just wasn't mine. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I'd rather watch it die hard, you know what I mean.
And so it's just more my style. And so I
just I didn't watch, but that was her hot take,
and people were like, ooh, that's juicy. I thought that
was interesting. I don't know I want to make of that.
I don't know it's just like it's these people.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm paying attention now. I will say that I
am paying some attention to it. One more thing before
we get to talks, and that is that Jordan Peterson
was on with Pierce Morgan. I'm not sure how long
this might be a day or two old or whatever,
but he was talking to Pierce specifically about Pierce's homeland,
the UK, and how how awful it is to watch
the UK turn into the dumpster fire that it is
turning into. And the way, you know, how Jordan Peterson,
the way that he words things is just like always perfect,
and so this was Pierce does not say a word
during this. It's just Jordan saying what a shame it
is about what's happening into the UK here.
Speaker 12: It is well, has put Canada in the doldrums that
it's in, and is also responsible for the state of
your country, which is dreadful, and it's it's I don't
know if you guys in the UK understand how sad
it is for us in Canada and in the United
States to watch what you're doing to yourself. I mean,
the UK is a great country. When I go there,
I go to Oxford. I go to Cambridge, to these,
to these remarkable places in London. See your unbelievable deep history.
Understand how much the world owes the UK in terms of, say,
the establishment of common law and decent government everywhere, including
places like India. We owe the UK such an immense debt.
And to watch you, guys like spiral yourselves into the
ground for these for this idiot weak political correctness that's
gone so far that you can allow your working class
women to be raped on moss sadistically and say nothing
about it and gaslight people who are telling the truth.
It's it's so sickening, it's so demoralizing, it's it's almost unspeakable.
We all pray, hope and pray here in Canada and
the US that you get your act together and grow
some spine again and put your damn country back together
and stand up to these bloody, psychopathic bullies and the
woke green mob, because it would be a dreadful shame
to lose you.
Speaker 1: I love him so much.
Speaker 2: Right, he says that he's so kind about it, Right,
he's very compassionate about it, which is, you know, that's
such a psychia way of doing it. Right, at least
at the good psychiatrists way of doing it. It's like, listen,
I love you, you know, but you're effing things up
and you've got to turn things around, you know, And
we want to. I would love to help you, but
you got to help yourself. And they've got to help
themselves or they're gonna it's gonna be their demise.
Speaker 1: He's right. I just love that. I just love it.
