California is a sanctuary state. I 29 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.640 don't know what they're going to be more sanctuary. It 30 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:35.400 means nothing. 31 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.920 I mean, right there in the proclamation or what have you, 32 00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.680 it says, aside from any state or federal law that 33 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.040 may be in place, we are a sanctuary city. 34 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:46.040 It's all symbolism. 35 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.400 Yeah, But they're going to be talking about it today. 36 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.719 We'll hear from Karen Bass, we'll hear from the New 37 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.680 the incoming I should say, borders are Tom Holman about 38 00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.760 what that's going to mean.

She was walking out to the pool 56 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.919 area and she looked her right and she saw Representative 57 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.639 Gates having sex with her friend who was seventeen. 58 00:02:57.759 --> 00:02:59.800 And at the time he was a sitting congressman. 59 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.680 I don't know if she was aware of who he 60 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:03.759 was at the time, but at the time, yes. 61 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:05.800 Okay, he goes on same interview. 62 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.800 My client testified to the house that Pernerstanni was a 63 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.960 mat Gates did not know that she was a minor, 64 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.840 and that when he learned that she was a miner, 65 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.599 that he broke off things and did not continue a 66 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:19.560 sexual relationship until she turned eighteen. 67 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.120 Do we know what time this was around?

You know what seventeen 72 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:45.400 adjacent looks like when you are thirty seven years old? Yeah, 73 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.080 you know what young is, it doesn't matter, it's semantics. 74 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.280 Seventeen or eighteen. You know that's a young girl. 75 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.960 Yeah, there's a I mean, the loose definition of too 76 00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:56.719 young for you. 77 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:58.360 He should be aware of that. 78 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.759 Acutely goes on and to say what the girl thought 79 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.240 about her being a quote unquote victim. 80 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:06.400 I didn't hear them. 81 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:07.199 You didn't hear that part. 82 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.599 So he goes on to say when she is asked, 83 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.360 were you a victim? And she says it was consensual, 84 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.160 both parties consented, and he says, were you a victim? 85 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.600 Or she was asked by the committee were you a victim? 86 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.560 And she said, that's a complicated question because as a 87 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.399 grown woman, you know that you were taken advantage of. 88 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.839 If you were seventeen eighteen and a thirty seven year 89 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.160 old man had sex with you up against a pool 90 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.040 table or what have you like that, there's no way 91 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.560 you're not a victim in that situation. Well, I mean, 92 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.639 and then she was asked, is this somebody who you 93 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.879 would trust? And she said, this is somebody who should 94 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:46.399 never have a great deal of power. 95 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.000 I mean, we've seen this before in situations like this 96 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.199 where even if you ask somebody, if you ask this now, woman, 97 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.160 did you feel like you were a victim when this 98 00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.680 event occurred in the first place. Not to disen franchise 99 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.839 this woman from her rights or her feelings. 100 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.959 It doesn't matter if she feels. 101 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.800 Like absolutely absolutely illegal case that she that she was 102 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.839 right by definition of victim, even if she was into 103 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.839 it having a great time as a grown man, you 104 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:18.199 know that that is wrong. 105 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.000 So the New York Times just posted as the show 106 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:28.399 was starting a report that hackers have apparently gotten that 107 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.240 testimony from the woman who said that she had sex 108 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.959 with Matt Gates when she was seventeen. Some hacker has 109 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.759 apparently gained access to computer file that was shared in 110 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:41.319 a secure link among lawyers whose clients were testifying against 111 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:41.800 Matt Gates. 112 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:43.399 I'm just going to push back a little bit. 113 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.439 If you believe this was a hacking you, I've got 114 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:47.839 some riverfront property. 115 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.160 Oh as property, not riverfront, but you know what. 116 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.120 I mean, like, there's no way this You didn't need 117 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.000 to be a sophisticated hacker to get this information. There 118 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:58.879 are people that wanted this to come to light, and 119 00:05:58.879 --> 00:05:59.959 they made it available. 120 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.759 The Ethics panel there in the House is scheduled to 121 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.759 meet tomorrow and is expected to decide whether or not 122 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.519 to vote to release this material that it has gathered. Now, again, 123 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.759 it is very unusual for the House Ethics Committee to 124 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.120 release a report on someone after they leave the House. Remember, 125 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.720 he resigned last week. He resigned from the House, so 126 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.720 this would be very unusual for them to do so. 127 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.560 But again, when I said it yesterday, Mike Johnson, the 128 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:27.319 Speaker of the House, that he doesn't want to break 129 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.040 house rules, he doesn't want to go against precedent. This 130 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.519 is an unprecedented thing that this guy being accused of 131 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.920 these allegations is now up for Attorney General of the 132 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:41.319 United States, and. 133 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.560 It's never going to happen, you know, And it'll be 134 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.560 interesting to see when he pulls out, because you've got 135 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.240 to otherwise this story lingers. It's not going anywhere. Did 136 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:56.079 you see the report about how this attorney said that 137 00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.079 women told investigators that in twenty nineteen he paid for 138 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.560 them to travel to New York for sex in exchange 139 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.759 for Broadway tickets to go see Pretty Woman. Yeah, there's 140 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:11.360 also allegations that they have text messages proving this by 141 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.279 the way, that they were asked to go have sex 142 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.480 with him and then they could go out see a show, 143 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.759 so essentially take care of things and later on they 144 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.160 could have their fun. There were allegations that he was 145 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:25.839 using his adopted son's Venmo account to pay off some 146 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.000 of these women. Yeah, he also paid for these women 147 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.279 to travel to the Bahamas, where other men and young 148 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.879 women were present, including the woman who said she had 149 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.439 that sexual relationship with him when she was seventeen. 150 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.680 All Right, one of the things that I would fully 151 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:49.600 expect a Republican Congress to look into is a piece 152 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.639 of metal fell off the roof yesterday at at and 153 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:54.879 T Stadium in Dallas before that game. 154 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:56.800 Is honestly crumbling in Dallas so. 155 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:58.879 Crazy they were showing. 156 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.439 There's pictures of of Dallas's head coach with the play 157 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.839 sheet in front of his face like this, and you 158 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.519 can see every play very very clearly. Now that doesn't 159 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.240 necessarily know you mean, you know what it is, but 160 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.319 some of those people can figure out those codes. Pretty 161 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.639 much all of them have those Houston Texans won the 162 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.000 battle last night thirty four to ten. 163 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.319 It wasn't really a battle, was it when you look 164 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:23.600 at that broken team. 165 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:24.399 C J. 166 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.319 Stroudn't have the best game, but they're on a weak division, 167 00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:31.160 so they're set up nice for the playoffs. What was 168 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.360 I going to tell you that was so important. 169 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:34.440 Some happy story of some kinds. 170 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.440 It was, Yeah, that's coming up a little bit later. 171 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.720 But oh yeah, Ukraine firing US made missiles into Russia. 172 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.039 According to Moscow said it shot down five US made 173 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.879 missiles today. This is the first time Biden gave the 174 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.159 okay yesterday for the U for the country to use 175 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:51.480 US weapons against Russia. 176 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.200 Yeah, there's a lot going on in this, and it 177 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.720 seems like it's kind of heating up before Trump comes 178 00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:02.840 into office because the sort of prevailing thought is that 179 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:06.279 he's going to demand some sort of negotiated end to this, 180 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.320 so they're both trying to grab territory before that comes about. 181 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.279 It looks like a full rebuild in New York. The 182 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:16.720 Jets have fired their GM this morning as well. 183 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.120 All Right, we know that the Harris campaign is still 184 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.240 asking for money because despite having a billion dollars at 185 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.159 one point, they're now in the hole by at least 186 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:27.879 twenty million. 187 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:29.879 Could you believe that? 188 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.320 If you if you donate it, because I'm assuming these 189 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.879 emails are going to people that donated to her campaign 190 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.200 getting an email from the Harris campaign today asking for money. 191 00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:43.559 And I mean there are some unusual or I should 192 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.279 say unexpected news outlets that are going after the Harris campaign, 193 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:49.720 the Daily Beast being one of them. 194 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:53.919 Well, one million dollars was paid to Oprah's production firm 195 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.080 for that town hall event that she hosted with Harris 196 00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:58.960 in September. 197 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.440 Yeah, that's just for the production end of it. 198 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.120 The full price tag was more than just the fee 199 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.840 for the production company or Oprah. The New York Times 200 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.200 said that it was about two and a half million. 201 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.000 So this is paying for endorsements essentially. 202 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:17.559 Well, and is there anything illegal about there? 203 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.240 No, it just looks bad, just in genuine all. 204 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.159 Politics looks bad. This just makes it look even bad. 205 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.720 Error. It was that nine hundred thousand dollars for the 206 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.399 ad space on the sphere. Remember we reported to you 207 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:31.960 in the final week of the campaign. 208 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:36.600 The talk show host Areva Martin got two hundred thousand 209 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.799 dollars as a media consultant as she was touring Swing 210 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:44.519 states for Kamala Harris in October. Roland Martin, who has 211 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.120 a streaming show, earned three hundred and fifty thousand in 212 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.240 September for a media buy. He told The New York 213 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.879 Times it was for advertising that more should have been 214 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:55.600 spent on black owned media. 215 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.639 The DNC's finance chair says he's going to push for 216 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.159 an introspective study and analysis of how the Harris campaign 217 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.759 blew through one point five billion dollars. 218 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.480 Let's just pull the car over for a minute, right there. 219 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.159 That's disgusting that we spend that kind of money on 220 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.960 politics in this country. Well, and one point five billion 221 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:17.159 could do a lot of things. 222 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.639 We only have each other to look at. 223 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:23.639 I mean, it's that we we as a society don't 224 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:28.879 put a limit on how long campaigns last, for example, 225 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:33.639 or you know the Supreme Court ruling regarding money and 226 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.720 which money can be spent on these campaigns. This isn't 227 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:38.759 all private donations. I mean a lot of these come 228 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.639 in from corporations and everything in these very very rich. 229 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.080 One point five billion did nothing. It did nothing, It moved, 230 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.440 It did not move the needle move. 231 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.799 Zero needles, not even a billion needles. They That goes 232 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:57.080 to prove a couple of things in my mind that 233 00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.440 of both of these flawed candidates, she was the more 234 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:06.240 flawed candidate that she was arguing on behalf of an 235 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:11.399 administration that to that point had not served the people 236 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.840 it needed to serve to guarantee reelection, I mean reelection in. 237 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.440 This they ran a bad candidate. They ran a bad candidate. 238 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.679 That's just what it was, and that. 239 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.519 A billion and a half dollars, even a billion a 240 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.559 half dollars, was not going to shine that thing up 241 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:27.120 enough to be pretty enough for people. 242 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:27.519 To vote for. 243 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:31.600 And shine it they did, but there was no substance 244 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.240 behind the shine. 245 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:35.519 Somebody asked me the other day, and I never had 246 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.480 a great answer to it, because, I mean, I still 247 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.919 think we're months away from any of this happening. 248 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:45.679 But does she run for governor? Or is she hurt 249 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:46.159 by this? 250 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.360 Is she hurt by the idea that even she's been 251 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.679 handed a billion and a half dollars or helped raise 252 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.519 a billion and a half dollars, she could not overcome. 253 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:56.679 That'll go away. 254 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:01.759 When you're a politician, you're a narcissi and you like 255 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.200 the attention. And this is what she does. She jumps 256 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.279 from job to job, people around you, telling you that 257 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:09.919 this is the way to go. I would be surprised 258 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:14.840 if she ran for governor. But I mean, what is 259 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:15.799 the governor anyway? 260 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:16.399 What? What? 261 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:18.879 What does the governor actually do? Did I tell you 262 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:19.919 that a cheerleader? 263 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:20.679 I saw that. 264 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:26.240 Gavin Newsom parentheses, man of the people, just dropped nine 265 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.039 million on a house in kent Field. 266 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:32.480 Really yeah, you know marine Catholic, Yeah, yeah, a view 267 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.039 of Mount tamil Pious just a just a like six 268 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.000 thousand people. 269 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.799 And of the people and people. Where do you get 270 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:40.840 nine million dollars? 271 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.559 Well, he's right in that, he's right in that climate 272 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.120 change train, and it is what he's doing. He's going 273 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:51.879 to make money hand over fist with that game. We've 274 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.080 got a woman trapped in a tunnel in downtown LA. 275 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:57.960 Why well why, I don't know. A woman is trapped 276 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.759 in an opening leading into a tunnel, can't get out. 277 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.799 The fire department has arrived. It's on Bixel Street, fifth 278 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.440 and Bixel in LA. She's not in distress, they say, 279 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.720 But we've got sleeping grown up Jessica trapped in a tunnel. 280 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.840 Grown up Jessica, Adult Jessica. 281 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:17.879 Coming up today, Judge one Marshawn is going to hear 282 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:22.519 from prosecutors on the future of President the elect Trump's 283 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:25.360 New York hush money case after he was convicted on 284 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.159 those thirty four counts earlier this year. Judge Moreshawn is 285 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.679 currently scheduled to sentence him next week, I believe next Tuesday, 286 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:36.080 but that could change now in light of the election win. 287 00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:38.120 The top of the hour, we're going to talk more 288 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.759 about the La City Council considering adopting the Sanctuary City 289 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.720 Ordinance to prohibit any city resources or personnel from being 290 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.919 used to help federal enforcement of immigration laws. 291 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:49.600 That's coming up. 292 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.720 Lakers announced that they have commissioned a statue of pat 293 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:57.000 Riley Cool to join Lakers Legends in the Starplaza outside Crypto. 294 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:02.679 He obviously led to four of the five NBA titles 295 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:05.159 in the nineteen eighties. Statue is going to be completed 296 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:08.480 sometime in twenty six and they said they'll have announced 297 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.240 an official unveiling date at the time. I can't play 298 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.480 all of this because of because of profanities bought and. 299 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.000 You guys are eating it up like a bunch of 300 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:23.799 liberal lefts when ninety nine percent everything has been blown up. 301 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.399 He's talking specifically about our opinions on Matt Gates to. 302 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.240 A giant thing. 303 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:29.679 This is a congressman. 304 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.559 He didn't get vetted. No, he could be a congressman. 305 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:35.679 Hard people could buying into the crab. 306 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.399 Matt Cage buying out of the crab. That guy is 307 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.519 a loser and a bad person. 308 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:41.960 Period. 309 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:46.960 We we voters, are the ones who vet members of Congress. 310 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.919 That's that's how it works. They don't go there, you here? 311 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:52.519 Were you born this morning? 312 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.960 Have you not seen all of the pieces of garbage 313 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.080 that have been elected to Congress through the years. 314 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.720 And the idea that Matt Gate is the guy that 315 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:01.320 you back up? 316 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.320 Yeah, you to die on the mat Gates hill. 317 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:04.360 Good luck. 318 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:09.159 Four monkeys remain free after nearly two weeks of that 319 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.919 group of forty three escaped. Four monkeys are saying, you 320 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.080 keep your uncrustables. We are not going to fold. We 321 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.759 want our freedom, we want our liberty. We are American monkeys. 322 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.080 But even those four holdouts, I bet you there's one 323 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.159 or two that are like man, I could use an 324 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.080 uncrustomed Oh. 325 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.080 I bet all four of them. One I would be 326 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:28.799 feeding them. 327 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.480 I would take to the woods and find those monkeys 328 00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:34.120 and bring a bunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 329 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:40.360 The latest between Ukraine and Russia involves everyone. This is 330 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:44.799 not an isolated thing. Vlatimer putin. We knew this was coming, 331 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:46.720 that they were going to change their nuclear doctrine. It 332 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:51.080 wasn't necessarily in response to the US made attack ems missiles, 333 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:58.279 but it's not comfortable at all. Vlatimer Putin lowered the 334 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.519 threshold for a nuclear strike in response to a broader 335 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:06.079 range of conventional attacks. Specifically, what he said was if 336 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:13.559 a non nuclear participant in a conflict Ukraine uses the 337 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:18.200 weapons of a nuclear participant, even if they're just conventional weapons, 338 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.839 I think long range missiles, then that is justification for 339 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.160 a response by Russia to be nuclear. 340 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:27.279 That's not goodness. 341 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:30.559 Both sides are trying to gain an advantage right now 342 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.599 in anticipation of potentially negotiations that may take place once 343 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.160 the Trump administration assumes office in January. 344 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.200 So that's Dan Hoffman, a former CIA Chief of Station, 345 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:43.400 and he said this is proof. I mean, what we've 346 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:46.279 seen in the last couple of days is that Russia 347 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:52.119 is losing the war, and if it continues on that 348 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:57.440 trajectory over the next what is it sixty days or 349 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.720 sixty five days or whatever before Trump comes into office, 350 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.920 it's bad news for Russia because they lose whatever ground 351 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.119 they had going into any sort of negotiation. 352 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.039 Russia suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties. Finland and Sweden 353 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.920 are now NATO members. Europe's been awakened from a post 354 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:17.440 Cold War slumber, taking on more of a defense spending 355 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.119 burden in their budgets. This is a loss for Vladimir Putin. 356 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:24.880 He has failed to topple the government of Ukraine and subjugate 357 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.480 the government of Ukraine as he wished. The only thing 358 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:31.599 Putin has successfully done is this rhetorical nuclear brinkmanship, because 359 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:34.880 he knows that President Biden goes back to this human 360 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:37.279 missile crisis idea that we're going to be at risk 361 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.440 of a nuclear war, when Putin is playing the KGB 362 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.200 game and influencing his enemy very effectively. We should have 363 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:46.599 done this on day one and given Ukraine the authority 364 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.200 to make those decisions themselves. 365 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.880 Russia and the US control eighty eight percent of the 366 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:57.400 world's nuclear warheads, and yes, comparable to the nineteen sixty 367 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.680 two Cuban missile crisis. We all learned about it in school, right, 368 00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:06.440 very tense time. This is when we came closest to 369 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:13.240 intentional nuclear war with Russia. And the diplomats for Russia say, 370 00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:16.359 the West is making a mistake if you think Russia 371 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.480 is going to back down with this Ukraine conflict. 372 00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:23.480 While this is going on, while this is being ratcheted up, 373 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:29.319 and the level of deterrence, I guess continues. There are 374 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:34.960 sounds of cannon fire and rocket artillery throughout Sweden, the UK, 375 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:38.279 and France. Other NATO members are conducting live fire drills 376 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.319 this month in that area, part of NATO's largest artillery 377 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.519 exercise ever held in Europe. It's called Dynamic Front twenty five. 378 00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:49.559 It includes drills that they'll be doing in Estonia, Germany, 379 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:55.079 Romania and Poland, many of those that border Ukraine. At 380 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.000 least five thousand soldiers are involved. 381 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.319 So far, would you like your nice story, Let's do 382 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:00.799 that next? 383 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.519 Okay? Is it really nice? Or just like, well, that's good? 384 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:06.359 I mean, don't get your hopes up, don't get crazy. 385 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:11.880 Travel writer Arthur Fromer loved his books. He started with 386 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.880 his guidebook Europe on five Dollars a Day. He was 387 00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:20.519 ninety five years old died from complications of pneumonia. He 388 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:24.039 self published the first Europe on five Dollars a Day 389 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:27.680 back in nineteen fifty seven. It was an expanded version 390 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.599 of A Guy, a guide he had written for American 391 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:35.039 soldier stationed overseas. It was an immediate bestseller. He basically 392 00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:38.480 was Rick Steves before Rick Steves, telling Americans to skip 393 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:42.640 five star hotels and seek out modest, family run places 394 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:47.400 where ordinary Europeans stayed when they traveled. His advice coincided 395 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:50.160 with the rise of fast and affordable jet travel. 396 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.400 It's too bad. 397 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:55.880 A couple more potential cabinet positions have been announced. President 398 00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:59.720 elect Trump expected to nominate veteran Wall Street guy Howard 399 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:03.559 low Nick to lead the Commerce Department. Lutnick is currently 400 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.160 chief executive of Canter Fitzgerald, the financial services firm. It's 401 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:12.000
