The earthquake also damaged parts 45 00:01:59.280 --> 00:01:59.879 of the cities. 46 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.599 This is awful, right, one hundred and forty four people killed. 47 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.319 But I will say that speaks to the power of 48 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.840 being a Buddhist. Listen to their reaction. 49 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.159 Oh, just to watch this building collapse? 50 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:17.319 Yeah, I mean Deborah Mark's reaction to me via text 51 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.080 at six point thirty was stronger than that. No kidding, 52 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.319 by the way, she texted me the news item and 53 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.280 I wrote back, I know, Deborah, I thought of you 54 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:27.759 immediately when I saw this. 55 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.159 Right, she didn't feel the earthquake, she just knew that 56 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:32.159 there was a big earthquake. 57 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.199 No, but how funny that she passed on that news 58 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:34.879 item to me. 59 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.479 As of right now, news services there in Me and 60 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.120 Mar and in Thailand neighboring Thailand have said that it's 61 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.639 expected about one hundred and forty four people in both countries, 62 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.159 most of those in Me and Mar. This woman actually again, 63 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.319 Me and Mar and Thailand are right next to each other. 64 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.719 This woman in Bangkok, an American, has lived there for 65 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.800 twenty eight years and says that this was reminiscent of 66 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.039 the earthquake that caused the tsunami back in two thousand 67 00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:04.280 and four. 68 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.919 This is not the first time that the building has. 69 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:10.439 Built an earthquake. 70 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.159 In two thousand and four, when the tsunami and the 71 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.199 earthquake happened in Sumatra, the building shape immensely for almost 72 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:24.759 thirty minutes, and then it had cracked in the walls. 73 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:27.520 But never like this people. 74 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.520 So the thing about Bangkok, it sits on a river delta, 75 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.360 and that opening shot of the Hangover Part three is 76 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.400 exactly what Bangkok looks and feels like in real life. 77 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.400 It's built on top of itself. I mean, I'm surprised 78 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.719 there's not more damage. We're hearing about this one building 79 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.080 over and over again, and it's awful, and one hundred 80 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:46.960 and forty four people, like we said, have been killed. 81 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.719 But I'm surprised there's not even more damage. 82 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.080 When you think about how things are just built on 83 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.599 top of each other in a shoddy fashion. 84 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.120 It is going to be This, unfortunately, is one of 85 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.759 those stories where as we go through the four hours 86 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.479 of this show that death toll is going to go 87 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.680 up significantly. The US Geological Survey had estimated that it 88 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.599 will probably be into the thousands before the end of 89 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:09.000 the day. 90 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.719 This is coming out of Wichita Falls, an Air Force 91 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.919 base in Texas on lockdown for a possible active shooter. 92 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.240 Shepherd Air Force Base confirm the reports online the Air 93 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.439 Force and in a statement that sweeps in the area 94 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.720 are being conducted. This is just northwest of Dallas there. 95 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.079 Like I said, in Wichita Falls, Texas, So we'll stay 96 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:27.639 on top of that. 97 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.160 Hey it's Friday, so with all that other stuff going on, 98 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.720 we're still going to have some fun today.

You've got a guy like Jos Shapiro 183 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:04.959 out in Pennsylvania who appears to be a more intellectual 184 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.079 and more natural Gavin Newsom, but still has some of 185 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.959 those political stances that aren't going to fly in mid America. 186 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.240 Do you say that Hakem Jeffries, as the minority leader 187 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.920 in the House, is has anywhere near the name recognition 188 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.680 that would be necessary. He just hasn't been in Congress 189 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.480 long enough to get that sort of notoriety. And then 190 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:29.800 everybody else is five million years old and there's no energy? 191 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.480 Is it Barack Obama? It could be, but why would 192 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.440 he want to do that job again? And I don't 193 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.360 mean the job of president, but the job of leading 194 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.120 the party, especially when it's a fractured. 195 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.559 Delighted have you seen speaking of the leader of the party? 196 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.279 I mean the last power player that we talked about 197 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.759 that was really the undoing after George Colony's op ed 198 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.000 of Joe Biden was Nancy Pelosi. Where the hell has 199 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.240 Nancy Pelosi been? If she's the king maker. She has 200 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.639 been oddly absent from public. 201 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:03.720 View there is Well, I think part of what the 202 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.320 problem with the finding a leader for the party is 203 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.279 who all these because it's such a factioned group, you know, 204 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.399 there's so many smaller factions within the party they're willing 205 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.559 to tear down. Whoever raises their hand, whoever sticks their 206 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:19.000 head up first, is the one who's going to get 207 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.279 it chopped off. And Nancy Pelosi was near the top 208 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.039 the whole time. But now they don't want somebody who's old. Yeah, 209 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:27.759 because they've run it. They ran into that with Joe 210 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:29.480 Biden and they don't want to repeat that mistake. 211 00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:31.360 A couple questions, who is they? 212 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.399 And the second follow up question is who's more powerful 213 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.320 than Nancy Pelosi to make that decision? 214 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:42.919 Yeah, I don't know. That's again that goes into the 215 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:43.600 It's kind of. 216 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.159 Like the question we had towards the end of Joe 217 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.639 Biden's presidency that we asked repeatedly on. 218 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:48.840 The show, who's actually in charge? 219 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.720 Who's in charge of the country right now? And it's 220 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.440 not us trying to be cute, who is in charge? 221 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.519 Who is the puppet master in Washington? Because it wasn't 222 00:09:58.600 --> 00:09:59.200 Joe Biden. 223 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.159 Even if he was in each one of the important meetings, 224 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.759 there's somebody sitting right next to him who's probably the 225 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:11.080 one who has the largest influence on some of those decisions. 226 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.639 Vice President JD. Vance and his wife Usha Vance are 227 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:19.080 in Greenland. They have landed and they are at the 228 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:25.399 American military base there. They are, among other things, talking 229 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:31.559 about how we love Greenland, we like Greenland, we want 230 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.440 to be friends with Greenland, and at some point, according 231 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.200 to Donald Trump, we want to take over Greenland. 232 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.240 If we don't have Greenland, we can't have great international security. 233 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:46.000 If you look at the ships outside of Greenland, China, Russia, places. 234 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.120 That we have to be there. 235 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.159 If we're not there, we can't have national or international security. 236 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.679 So I view it from a security standpoint, we have 237 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:55.200 to be there. 238 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:57.240 We do have a footprint in Greenland. We have for 239 00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:01.080 some time. Right now, we have the Space Force Base 240 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:09.840 at Patific in Greenland, Department of Defense's northernmost military installation. 241 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.919 That is the home to Space Forces eight hundred and 242 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.960 twenty first Space Base Group. They do missile warning, missile defense, 243 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:21.320 and space surveillance operations. It seems like a very cold outpost, 244 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.480 but very important outpost. We have been there for a 245 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.080 very long time. Think about nineteen fifty three, the Cold 246 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.360 War was heating up. The United States had set its 247 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.960 sight on a settlement more than seven hundred miles north 248 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.399 of the Arctic Circle. One hundred and sixteen civilians that 249 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.120 lived in that area of Greenland would have to go 250 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.600 because we wanted to expand our Air Force base at 251 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.639 the time to defense, to defend against Soviet missiles. There 252 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.240 was also an anecdotal story about American officials who had 253 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.440 gone door to door in Greenland to try to find 254 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.720 somebody there who would be willing to host the Vice 255 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.080 Price and his wife and perhaps National Security Advisor Mike 256 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.519 Waltz just for a quick just for a quick bowl 257 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:10.559 of seal soup and photo handshake and just like, hey, we're. 258 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:11.919 From And they said, we saw what happened at the 259 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:12.600 donut shop. 260 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.360 I don't want that weirdness in my house. 261 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.600 Yeah, we'll eat our seal soup in silence. Everybody said, no, yeah, 262 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.159 it's not going over well. 263 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.759 Well, first of all, the people of Greenland are not 264 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.159 the Kardashians. They don't want photo ops. They don't want 265 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.240 the public to be looking at them. They live off 266 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.600 the late eighty percent of Greenland as ice. They eat 267 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.799 seals for crying out loud. Well, I mean this is 268 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.639 there are no roads in Greenland. They don't want publicity, 269 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:44.120 they don't want attention. They are the anti Instagram generation. 270 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:47.960 When a great percentage of your day is dedicated to 271 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:53.559 simply staying alive, right, you don't care about photo opportunities. Now, 272 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.720 we don't have to worry about keeping ourselves alive every 273 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.399 day where if we go outside it's dangerous or any Do. 274 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.440 You think the Canadians pride themselves on not being an American. 275 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.000 You're not going to find a place that's more Unamerican 276 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:06.799 than Greenland. 277 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:07.679 Probably. 278 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:10.080 I mean, you could make the argument for China when 279 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.840 it comes to freedom, but in terms of like stuff 280 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:19.559 to do and stimulation and all the vain, narcissistic tendencies 281 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.279 we have, Greenland has none of that. 282 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:23.360 They have their own. 283 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:27.080 It's a very strong sense of independence, yes, like we 284 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.919 would like Americans would, but they do it in a 285 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:31.240 very reserved way. 286 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.240 Right, At some point, I want to tell you the 287 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:37.639 story about Eric the Red, the Viking that founded Greenland's 288 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:38.799 first European settlement. 289 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.399 Well, throughout the show today, we should perhaps do Greenland 290 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:43.240 fun facts, right. 291 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.000 I love a Viking story, don't you. It's also it 292 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:51.399 always comes with murder. Murder, Yeah, give me that. Get 293 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.080 that away from I'm tired of looking at that. That's ridiculous. 294 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:56.600 Do better? Is that what you're saying? 295 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:57.519 I said, stupid? 296 00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:59.519 Oh stupid, he said, do better. 297 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:00.840 No, I would never say that. 298 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:01.399 Listen. 299 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:07.919 Uh, there's supposed to be nationwide and potentially worldwide protests 300 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.679 tomorrow out in front of Tesla dealerships.
