2:23 manhole unless that's something i'm not aware of and then he goes into the the rundown and but the

2:30 rundown includes includes a lot more i think we're spending too much time on it i well first of all

2:36 i think that's bad form but okay just let it play i'm not gonna interrupt anymore

2:41 i'm not saying i disagree i agree it's bad form tonight several breaking stories the two teenagers

3:54 in the northeast a man convicted of killing his brother and his brother's wife and children

4:05 like the whole family had been targeted what the judge has now decided tonight's major primaries

4:10 being watched in this country president trump taking aim at one of his top political targets

4:14 republican congressman thomas massey we're all gonna die i'm telling you they they had to dig

4:21 deep to get the guy who burned the family i mean hey we need more horrible things for the t's david

4:27 wants more horrible things give him more horrible things to talk about well you know if you're gonna

4:32 The technique here should be to play, now you should play Tom Yamas' version of the same thing.

4:39 And I think that NBC, because I've been, I was thinking about this earlier too, these openers.

4:46 And I think NBC does the best job.

4:49 I think NBC is the leader in the news business.

4:55 I think Tom Yamas does a terrific job.

4:57 And I think their opening tease is superior to ABC's.

5:00 I will make sure I have one on Sunday.

5:02 I'll make sure that we have the superior teas.

5:05 In fact, from now on, it'll be known as the superior teas from Tom Yamas.

5:10 You're probably right.

5:12 But this was, you know, this was good.

5:14 Because for one thing, he repeats himself here on two stories.

5:18 He brings in the Muslims.

5:19 He brings in the woman falling in the hole.

5:21 Then he brings back the Muslims and brings back the woman falling in the hole.

5:25 And then he goes to tornadoes.

5:27 Just throws in a tornado.

5:30 Do you think the woman was on her phone?

5:32 Yeah, probably.

5:36 Just have a thought, you know.

5:38 But I didn't know there were that many manholes that close to the curb.

5:41 Well, I remember living in New York, you'd have these manholes covers that were just steaming and, you know, smoke or steam arising.

5:51 Steam would be coming up.

5:52 And from time to time, we had the exploding manholes.

5:54 I'm sure we had a couple stories.

5:55 Oh, that was always the best.

5:56 Yeah, we had an exploding manhole.

5:58 I thought personally that it was interesting, the choice of them saying, remarkable, IRS may never audit President Trump or his children, which is not really the headline of the story.

6:13 Because the story is the slush fund for Trump allies.

6:20 That's the story.

6:21 Yeah, we've got these clips of that.

6:23 But to me, I just want to get a start on this.

6:26 i thought the biggest story to me which no one played as a story was this we've been listening

6:33 to vice president jd vance holding a white house press briefing filling in for press secretary

6:38 caroline levitt vance started with iran saying the administration has the ability to restart a

6:45 military campaign but adding that's not what president trump or iran want and that both sides

6:51 or attempting to negotiate in good faith.

6:53 So, not the story about Iran,

6:56 but the fact that Vance was filling in for Carolyn Leavitt,

6:59 and he was fantastic.

7:00 I mean, that should be his job.

7:03 He should be talking to the press every single day.

7:06 Did you see any of that?

7:08 Yeah, I did. I saw the whole thing.

7:10 I thought it was good.

7:10 And it's kind of surprising,

7:12 because normally when the press secretary's not there to talk,

7:15 the associate or assistant or whoever it is is a secondary person.

7:20 They get the gig.

7:21 they get to get i've never seen the vice president take it over and it was great

7:25 he's like yeah hey i got i got one or two of these things let me see

7:29 uh i just got two clips of him expertly i would say managing the press corps okay

7:36 garrett you have your hand up garrett garrett you had your hand up

7:39 it's the vice president of the united states hey uh who's had their hand up do you need to go the

7:46 rest you need to go potty okay rest yeah all right here we go okay garrett you have your hand up

7:51 That's right. Thank you, Mr. Vice President. Midterms are well underway. You've got voters

7:55 going to the polls in six states today. You and the president ran on a platform that included

8:00 no new wars, cutting gas prices, cutting inflation. What do you say to the people

8:04 who are going to the polls today and who feel like those promises are unkept?

8:08 Well, I'd say a few things. First of all, we've delivered great wins for the American people.

8:13 We ran on delivering tax cuts to the American people, which we did, the largest tax cuts in

8:18 American history. We ran on cutting taxes, particularly on people who were working on

8:23 overtime, working on tips. We cut taxes for those Americans. We ran on the promise of bringing

8:28 investment back into the United States of America, that rather than factory closures, we were going

8:32 to have factories opening. And we've seen both construction jobs and manufacturing, but also

8:37 manufacturing jobs have great rebounds under the Trump administration and under our leadership.

8:41 We are very aware that because of what's going on in the Middle East, gas prices have gone up and a

8:47 lot of Americans are struggling because of that. Our view is that it is a temporary increase.

8:52 We're taking a number of steps to try to push back against it and try to ensure that Americans

8:57 are paying as little at the pump as possible. But I feel quite confident after we've taken

9:01 care of business in the Middle East, those prices are going to come down. And there have been a lot

9:05 of prices, as you know, a lot of prices from rent to housing, where we still got a lot of work to do.

9:11 But we do see some real progress made across the economy on pricing, but also on people's jobs.

9:17 I mean, expert, expertly done.

9:21 I mean, it doesn't matter what he says.

9:23 He's just he's just it's so smooth talker.

9:27 It's so much better than having the press secretary.

9:29 I like Carolyn Leavitt, but who cares?

9:31 She's an in-between person.

9:34 Vance is the truth.

9:36 Well, this could be, well, not you brought this in as your top story.

9:41 Well, that's top story.

9:41 I will say that it's possible that this may be a trend.

9:45 Why not?

9:46 It makes so much sense.

9:47 If you can get it, but you have to have a vice president that can talk well.

9:51 For example, Pence couldn't do this.

9:54 Do you think Kamala Harris?

9:55 He was stiff.

9:56 He was a prick.

9:57 Kamala Harris couldn't do it either.

9:58 She couldn't do it in a million years.

10:01 No.

10:01 But now it'll be a requirement for vice president.

10:05 I think the vice president.

10:07 Well, this is where you're jumping the gun here, I think.

10:10 But I'm thinking it's possible that it could be a requirement for a vice president.

10:15 It's possible that this could be a trend.

10:17 One more clue.

10:18 Because it works.

10:19 Yes.

10:20 Let's hear one more from him.

10:21 I'm just going to start calling John Ross.

10:24 John, John.

10:25 I'm going to be calling my favorites.

10:26 Who's the teacher's pet?

10:27 John, John Ross.

10:28 Not you.

10:29 Not that John.

10:30 John Ross.

10:30 End up John Ross.

10:31 Yeah, yeah.

10:32 I'm going to call on John.

10:33 I'm just going to start calling John Ross.

10:35 Yes. Yes. Yes. You're good. So Trump initially said that the war would last six weeks.

10:43 We are now it's been going on for 11 weeks and three days.

10:45 Also, what Carolyn Leavitt always does is she always says the fake news media has.

10:51 Well, you know, as many of you have reported in this room, she's so adversarial in here.

10:57 Yeah, she's yeah, she's kind of like Trump picks these these women.

11:02 Sarah Huckabee was the same way, you remember.

11:05 Yes, yes.

11:06 She was really mean to everybody.

11:08 Yeah, and this is, everyone's kind of like, hey, it's J.D., substitute teacher, J.D., yeah, let's go.

11:15 We can ask him anything.

11:16 He doesn't care.

11:17 He's not going to slam us for that.

11:19 What's your message to the American people as to why it's gone on so long and it hasn't ended yet?

11:23 Well, first of all, the president said it's going to be a short-term operation, and I think that has proven out to be true.

11:29 The active period of conflict lasted about five, five and a half weeks.

11:33 Active conflict.

11:34 Hello, people.

11:35 Get it right.

11:35 We've been in this ceasefire where we're trying to get a negotiated settlement that gets the American people the things that we need for our national security.

11:42 So I've said before that we're going to go one of two options here.

11:45 We're going to have a good settlement that actually gets the American people what they need, or we're going to go back to a kinetic operation.

11:52 Obviously, the president prefers to get that settlement.

11:55 I think the Iranians prefer to get that settlement.

11:57 But regardless of what direction the president ultimately goes down, whatever he ultimately

12:01 decides, I think it's important for the American people to know two things.

12:04 Number one, it will be for their security and their prosperity.

12:07 That's why we're doing this.

12:08 And number two, this is not going to be the sort of thing that lasts forever.

12:14 I think a lot of Americans, especially in my generation, who are worried about forever

12:18 endless conflicts, we have to remember, I think you said 11 weeks, a big chunk of that

12:22 has been a ceasefire.

12:23 This is not a forever war.

12:25 We're going to take care of business and come home.

12:27 That's what the president's promised.

12:28 And that's exactly what he's going to deliver.

12:30 I mean, outstanding.

12:32 I mean, remember we had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

12:36 Oh, she's the worst.

12:37 Jean-Pierre.

12:38 We had her.

12:38 We had, who else did we have?

12:40 She's just a liar.

12:40 We had Psaki.

12:42 Psaki.

12:43 Well, yeah, but she was with the, yeah.

12:46 Yeah.

12:46 This is so much more entertaining.

12:48 He is making the press briefing exciting again.

12:51 And I only caught it because all four screens on the quad were running it.

12:56 That never happens.

12:59 They were probably running it because they thought they'd screw up.

13:03 Maybe.

13:04 I think everyone was just surprised by it.

13:06 And I just thought, yeah, I'll step in.

13:08 She just had a baby.

13:11 He should do it for a couple weeks.

13:12 Give that girl some time off.

13:14 I'm all for it.

13:16 It's much better.

13:17 Very exciting.

13:19 I'm very excited.

13:21 Well, my top story is the one I wrote up in the newsletter.

13:25 Yeah.

13:25 And that is, I have one clip, which is Massey, the top story of Massey losing.

13:32 Yeah, Massey's good, yes.

13:34 And no matter what anybody, I don't care why I'm asking you, why there was a scandal.

13:43 It could be, we have a letter from one of our boots on the ground guys who knows Lauren Boebert.

13:51 and uh he wrote a very nice note in you probably have it there i actually don't think i have it

13:57 handy i had to close my email it's familiar okay yeah i can i can't excuse me don't die on me tell

14:04 me the scandal first i'm getting there uh i have uh i'll get it i'll bring it up but but play this

14:11 clip because this is uh the story it seems to me that the fact that they they refused all the media

14:19 including Fox, refuses to discuss, which I talked about in the newsletter in detail,

14:26 the scandal about Massey, which dropped him in May 8th.

14:30 He was 71% chance, according to the betting polls, 71% chance of winning the election.

14:38 Within a week, he dropped it to like 34, 31 or something really low, or 41.

14:45 That didn't happen because of Trump.

14:48 no Trump has been against this guy for a long time I don't think by the way I don't think I

14:54 don't think I got that email that you're referring to I don't see it anywhere interesting oh yeah it

14:59 was you were on it but I'll get it but meanwhile um yes I'm sorry to interrupt so tell us what the

15:06 scandal is the scandal is is is that Massey well let's play this clip and I'll tell you what the

15:13 scandal is. Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massey is the latest Republican lawmaker to lose his seat

15:19 for crossing President Trump. The race was another display of the president's hold on Republican

15:24 voters. This morning, when asked about not endorsing incumbents, Trump said he'd spoken

15:29 to Senate leadership on the Republican side. Some of them don't know how to win. I know how to win.

15:33 I think I've proven that, haven't I? Massey lost his primary to Trump-backed candidate Ed Gowrin

15:39 by nearly 10 percentage points last night.

15:41 That was just one race among six states that held elections Tuesday,

15:46 the busiest primary day of the midterms.

15:48 Democrats in Georgia and other states continue to see large voter turnout,

15:52 which could be a good sign for them in November's midterm elections.

15:55 NPR's Stephen Fowler stayed up late last night to watch these results

15:59 and joins us here early this morning.

16:02 Good morning, Stephen.

16:03 Did Massey lose because he went against some of Trump's policies?

16:08 Yes and no. I mean, Thomas Massey clashed with Trump over the Epstein files. He actually led

16:14 to the release of the files. He clashed with Trump over the Iran war and foreign conflicts.

16:18 He opposed Trump's one big, beautiful bill. So Trump did back a challenger, former Navy

16:24 SEAL officer Ed Gellerin. And what's the latest example of Trump taking out anyone who isn't 100%

16:29 loyal in the last year or so? The last time an incumbent lost was Saturday with Louisiana

16:35 Senator Bill Cassidy, but Massey kept it close. I will also note that yesterday, Trump endorsed

16:41 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to oust incumbent Senator John Cornyn ahead of next

16:46 Tuesday's runoff. You're already hearing some Republicans there fret if Paxton wins because

16:51 polls indicate his victory would make the general election race more competitive,

16:55 especially in what's shaping up to be a wave year for Democrats.

16:59 okay okay so what happened was and it was all over the and i'm getting the impression it was

17:06 all over x everyone was it was all over x and i think it was it was all over i think it was on

17:10 tiktok but but i think it was algo driven and so i'm i'm beginning to think that the people who do

17:18 run npr they are getting feeds that are different than the feeds that you get i get and and people

17:25 that would be involved with the massey people in kentucky that that voted against massey and

17:31 and it was a it was a smear campaign yeah that indicated that once massey's wife died uh he

17:39 had an affair with at least two women one of them turned on him and said that he was turned into a

17:45 complete horn dog and he was screwing lauren bobert uh immediately thinking she's the hottest

17:51 thing in congress can i can i can i just give you a little different perspective on that so his wife

17:58 was was she was she wasn't she ill did she die suddenly died yeah she died suddenly hmm i'm just

18:05 well give me this perspective well no i i was going to say that you know a guy who it's possible

18:13 that a lot is possible but when you're released from something that you might not have been happy

18:19 that's what you do

18:21 yeah but that's fine and Danny

18:23 that's not what you do when you're a congressman

18:25 and you don't let this kind of dirt

18:27 come out because it makes you look like a

18:29 douchebag dog

18:30 he's just a man

18:32 and these are just voters

18:39 and

18:40 he supposedly had a phone

18:43 a special burner phone that he called

18:45 a boner phone

18:46 show title

18:48 boner phone

18:50 and there was

18:53 because he was calling all these girls

18:55 and then he got married

18:57 immediately, he was married within a year

19:00 to this very pretty girl

19:02 that was pretty quick, I agree

19:03 that was fast

19:04 that was not good

19:05 you're steamrolling me

19:08 what is the appropriate time

19:11 between the death, just asking for a friend

19:13 if you're a politician

19:14 it's at least two years

19:17 it's 24 months, okay

19:18 All right, I think it's reasonable.

19:21 Now, for some jerk on the street who doesn't care one way or the other, you can get married the next month.

19:27 Nobody gives a crap about it.

19:30 But if you're a politician, especially if you're running against Trump trying to get you out, you don't do any of this stuff.

19:37 You just stay by, you know, you lead a clean life.

19:40 It's not that hard to lead a clean life.

19:42 Of course, I'm old, so I can say that.

19:44 But it's not that hard.

19:48 And if you're a politician, that's what you want to do.

19:50 So this came out, and there were some AI videos showing the boner phone and him talking to it and Boebert on there flirting with him.

20:01 That kind of thing showed up in certain feeds and not other feeds, but it showed up in my feed, and I think it showed up in the feed of the voters.

20:10 And this was never discussed by anybody.

20:13 Fox didn't discuss it.

20:15 ABC, NBC, CBS, nobody discussed the scandal.

20:18 And I just played a clip from NPR, and they're boneheaded about it.

20:22 Trump didn't like him, so that's why he got out.

20:25 Again, May 8th, he was 71% chance of winning.

20:29 May 8th, that's not that long ago.

20:32 And so the next thing, so the rugs pulled out from under him within a one or two week period.

20:39 That's how it happened.

20:40 And nobody's discussing it.

20:42 i find it ridiculous that the media is so oblivious to this well do you think they're

20:48 my point do you think they're oblivious or do they do you think that it's more important for

20:53 them to say trump did it which he did i mean this is the question this is the question i could ask

21:00 you are were they oblivious because they weren't there they weren't in the algo i mean which i

21:06 think is possible because they're not very aggressive about some of these people won't

21:10 even watch fox news well yeah massey was on he was going on ms now and cnn he was he was for all

21:18 intents and purposes on quote-unquote their side of the epstein argument and and i think the the

21:26 epstein released the epstein files all files that except for the ones that were under investigation

21:32 that was his his law i think it's the only bill he's ever gotten passed i think it's the only one

21:40 And, you know, his his courtship with Tucker and Marjorie Taylor Greene, I mean, he put himself in the enemy camp.

21:49 And the way I see it, Trump went, we have to prove we have to send a message.

21:54 We have to send a message to May 8th, 71 percent.

21:58 That's what I'm saying. I don't I think he could have beaten it because Rand Paul does it all the time.

22:03 Rand Paul's in Kentucky, same state. They're they're contrarian there.

22:07 they don't care uh i don't think trump's influence had as much to do with it as the smear

22:12 well that's what i'm thinking because of the nature of kentucky everybody ran paul and this

22:20 guy's been re-elected over and over let me read from uh mark's uh note

22:25 he thinks the whole thing was created i think it may have been a creation too

22:31 the story was easy to manufacture and it killed two birds with one stone lauren came out and

22:37 supporting Mousy

22:39 so they decided to take them

22:41 both down with one shot

22:43 it was almost too easy

22:45 I know Lauren

22:46 and there are positive and negative things about her

22:49 the one positive thing about her

22:51 is that she's a fighter

22:52 for truth and common sense

22:55 Lauren likes to let her hair down

22:57 and have fun too

23:00 as we saw by the video

23:02 of her in the theater

23:04 the guy's

23:05 grabbing her breasts

23:07 uh but she did not have sexual relations with that man yeah it sounds like a smear to me too

23:16 honestly no i think it was and i think it was well executed but but you know i it didn't show up in

23:23 my algo and that was surprising no one uh tagged me in any of the stories um but it did that here's

23:31 where it's important it did come because tina told me did you hear about uh lauren bobert you

23:37 You know, Tina doesn't watch anything anymore, but she hears it from the ladies of Fredericksburg.

23:40 So one of the big MAGA ladies heard about it.

23:43 So it was definitely in the MAGA, in the MAGA, in the MAGALGO, MAGALGO.

23:48 Yeah.

23:50 Yeah, I believe there's an ALGO issue here.

23:53 Anyway, he continues.

23:54 There's a faction of the Colorado GOP that is following Trump's orders and scrambling to find a candidate to primary her, Lauren.

24:04 I call them the Davidians, after Dave Williams, the former Colorado GOP chairman, that screwed up the party beyond where it was already screwed up.

24:16 This can lose them and the one seat they could hold on to, which is Lauren's seat.

24:23 If they lose it, you can thank Trump for that.

24:26 I honestly believe Trump wants Congress to flip for the midterms, to show up Johnson and Thune.

24:34 He could care less about the Republican Party.

24:36 He thinks it's his own party in force.

24:38 Well, that's an interesting twist.

24:40 I like the theory.

24:40 Yeah, that's not a bad theory at all.

24:42 Colorado is going, this is actually pretty interesting now.

24:46 Colorado is going to complete the Californication of the state, this midterm election.

24:52 The Democrats, socialists of America, have taken over the Democrat Party here and put in their own candidates, including a mental patient that wears a dress for state treasurer.

25:04 colorado wow colorado's way to go way to go all major state offices will have dsa members

25:12 and congress will be a seven to one democrat with almost all all with dsa allegiance which is

25:22 which is uh sickening

25:25 i the one republican will be bobert unless the colorado gop does the bidding of the dsa in

25:33 primaries her uh colorado's a real shit show all across the board the democrats have destroyed the

25:40 state and the idiot voters are doubling down on stupid legalized marijuana did the opposite of

25:47 how it was supposed to work uh they deserve their fate i'm moving to tampa bay if i can sell my

25:53 house i'm going to live in anna polina luna's district she's a smart she's smart a fighter

25:59 and a former stripper which is everything i want in my congresswoman this is a true

26:05 citizen of no agenda nation perfect perfect and it goes on with some other details about

26:14 stuff going on in colorado but i always thought luna was just a bathing suit model i didn't know

26:18 she was a stripper so there is one other theory from your boy here we go the most expensive race

26:27 in terms of ad spend in history they say most expensive primary it's 32 million dollars in

26:32 total just in ads i think 20 million purely from the israel lobby for galrein and we all know why

26:39 that is it's because thomas massey is the most vocal critic of the israel lobby in congress and

26:44 specifically in the republican conference in the republican party in the house he voted against

26:48 foreign aid voted for release of the epstein files voted in favor of the war powers resolution

26:53 against the iran war and he called out apac and their handlers on tucker carlson's show

26:59 what's interesting though and i said this on my show is that they're now all trying to make this

27:04 about trump even if you watch pete hex's speech he says well why is thomas massey a problem he is

27:10 not with the team he's not supporting trump in a time of war he's not voting with our movement

27:14 that's right they're deflecting to trump and does he have the power to run the party

27:18 when in really it's all about israel exactly they're hiding behind him and the press

27:23 is letting them do that because that line is coming from the white house and the israel lobby

27:27 oh yeah there you go and that that this is what you have to understand it's all about the israel

27:33 lobby all about that it's not about anything else but the israel lobby and president trump

27:39 doubled down on it i'm right now at 99 in israel i could run for prime minister so maybe

27:46 after i do this i'll go to israel run for prime minister i had a poll this morning i'm 99

27:52 percent so that's good but uh no he's a wartime prime minister and i just don't think they treat

27:59 him well i think we have a president over there that treats him very poorly you're on the same

28:05 case there you go president trump he will be the next prime minister of israel

28:08 so it's a shoo-in it's the jews man get it together it has nothing to do with low with bobert

28:14 this is how people think

28:18 i don't think they think that way what i think they think in terms of sex and scandals no no

28:27 i'm talking about our own people oh our people yeah well that's for sure trolls right now like

28:32 yeah there are money it was all due money here's hegseth uh on the case primary elections are being

28:38 held in six states today including kentucky where republican congressman thomas massey is in a tough

28:44 fight with Trump-backed challenger Ed Galrein. Massey has been critical of the president's

28:49 policies and has worked to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. In an extraordinary break with

28:54 the military's tradition of political neutrality, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared at a

28:59 campaign event for Galrein in Kentucky yesterday and attacked Massey, who called the appearance

29:04 desperate. Need reinforcement from Republicans. And that fight requires a Congress full of

29:11 warriors including ed this one ladies and gentlemen is a no-brainer it's kind of crazy

29:19 that you would send the secretary of war president trump would not be doing this if they were

29:24 confident that they were winning and they're worried that i'm going to win the pentagon says

29:29 hegseth appeared as a private citizen and not as the secretary of war they say no taxpayer dollars

29:34 were used to pay for the visit yeah oh boy i doubt it yeah here's uh ms now yeah i mean it's

29:43 extraordinary unusual inappropriate for a defense secretary to be on the campaign trail to begin

29:49 with let's just start there to be out campaigning for a candidate is it inappropriate for a defense

29:55 secretary to do that says who well willie from ms now i don't know why is it inappropriate i don't

30:03 know that's why i'm asking you or hatchet well why doesn't he explain it oh that's a hatchet

30:08 because nobody's done it before because somebody had i doubt that nobody's done it before it's the

30:13 hatchet man there to be out campaigning for a candidate there are hatchet considerations

30:19 potentially here but then to do it in the middle of a war where just hours ago the president was

30:25 on the brink he said of a new round of strikes against iran before pulling back again we'll get

30:30 into that in just a moment you have the secretary of defense on the campaign trail and as you say

30:36 why are they fighting against thomas massey because he wants all the information out he

30:41 wants the truth out about the epstein files oh yeah hard they're working to suppress that truth

30:47 the president dispatching his secretary of defense to campaign against the guy who's trying to get

30:52 to the bottom of that also joe i know this is something you've talked about for years now which

30:56 is that thomas massey the argument goes from his opponents and yesterday from the head of defense

31:03 is not conservative that he's anti-trump he's not conservative look at the voting record of

31:09 thomas massey talk to anybody who's ever spent 10 minutes on capitol hill he is incredibly

31:15 conservative in all the ways that conservatism used to actually hold up now we're talking about

31:21 trumpism which is something very different from conservatism but the maggot folks secretary of

31:27 defense trying to conflate those two things if you're against donald trump even on the epstein

31:31 files now you're not conservative yeah so i i guess we should still believe that there's epstein

31:39 files we haven't seen the real one i guess the pedo it probably is i'm sure there's something

31:47 we haven't seen but but even even even massie's own bill called for all files except in active

31:57 investigations he wasn't really asking for all files i mean i want to see frazzle drip as much

32:05 as anybody else i don't think the epstein thing was the key issue here was he's voted against the

32:11 big beautiful bill yeah he voted again he just would not get on board with a lot of the

32:16 from the trump perspective ignoring the real reason that he lost which was the scandal

32:24 um as far as i'm concerned well you'd expect it yeah i mean so they're not they must first we have

32:32 to remind ourselves that the the news media is not here to report on the news it is to get us

32:39 to vote democrat that's that's what they do even fox is questionable yes so um they they want to

32:49 make trump look bad you know hegseth anyone else who was trump adjacent that's what they do that

32:56 that is so it wasn't it wasn't in their best interest to launch this scandal or to report

33:03 on the scandal report it yeah report it wasn't in their best interest no because then it would

33:08 it would detract from the points they're trying to make so now let's go to our next president

33:15 president tucker uh who did an interview with israel's channel 13 did you happen to see this

33:26 no i did not i didn't even know this happened this this is fantastic so just note that tucker

33:34 was there whenever something happened tucker was there so this was a very adversarial interview

33:40 but i found it fascinating us thank you for having me you are one of donald trump's most

33:45 consistent and vocal supporters you called on people to vote for him what happened yes what

33:51 happened was the war with iran which i don't believe serves the interests of the united states

33:58 i think it's destructive to the united states and to the world but mostly to the united states

34:02 I'm an American. That's what I care about. And that's something he promised he wouldn't do.

34:08 For 10 years, he argued against a war like this. And then for a variety of reasons,

34:14 not all of which I understand, he embarked on it. And so I can't support that. My views did

34:20 not change. His did. Do you generally believe Israel would try to harm you because of your

34:26 opinion do i believe israel would try to harm me yes i mean of course i don't know i i i hope not

34:34 i don't want to be harmed yeah but my my main interest is not asking you you were implied to

34:41 that when you spoke about your coming to israel let's see that for a second and i said to them

34:46 okay i want to send you uh the flight information um and i want you to pass that on to the israeli

34:53 military just so you know they don't mistake us for an iranian drone or something i mean not to

34:58 be paranoid but again this is probably the most violent country in the world israel so israel is

35:05 the most violent state in the world even more than iran are you serious no country and i say this with

35:13 sadness but no country has boasted more about killing its political opponents than israel

35:20 of course, about its assassination programs. The prime minister of Israel gave a golden pager

35:25 to the president of the United States. I was there. I was there. And that golden pager represented

35:31 the pagers that Hezbollah leaders were killed by. Sure. I mean, so yes, Israel brags about

35:39 assassinating people. And of course it does assassinate people. Many countries assassinate

35:42 people but israel um makes a public relations campaign out of boasting about killing its

35:50 opponents so dude have you ever heard someone say al-aqbar uh i don't

35:56 tucker he doesn't know what he said in the past

36:02 yes this is the most concerning part he doesn't remember anything he said in the past

36:09 and and and he's adamant about it and oh i never said that but he but he also says

36:17 you know president trump went to war in iran which he promised he wouldn't do totally true

36:21 um for reasons i don't understand why but it's not america first well maybe you should ask him

36:28 why now the answer primarily will be because iran can't have a nuclear weapon okay i'm pretty

36:35 skeptical about that we've been hearing that for 10 years or maybe even longer i think there were

36:41 definitely a lot of financial reasons and and i mean look at this these these guys they control

36:49 an area that apparently can put the whole world in peril just by them supposedly cutting it off

36:57 or doing whatever so it seems like that is a problem that just no one ever wanted to address

37:03 but let's go on because trump obviously did not do this for america he did it for israel we all

37:09 know this i mean you know you accuse nathaniel of dragging trump into an unnecessary war with iran

37:16 so let's think about what it actually means do you really think that a foreign leader can pull

37:23 the president of the united states into a war he didn't want and what does it tell us about trump

37:31 Is he really that weak?

37:33 Well, I don't think that that can happen.

37:35 I saw it happen.

37:36 I was there.

37:37 I was there.

37:38 And so that happened.

37:38 I was there.

37:39 He was there.

37:40 I think this guy's always there, but he seems to be like in Israel or somebody else's podcast or he's doing this.

37:47 But somehow he's always there.

37:49 He was there when Bibi Netanyahu forced Donald Trump to go to war with Iran.

37:54 He was there.

37:54 The United States into a war he didn't want. And what does it tell us about Trump? Is he really that weak?

38:03 Well, I don't think that that could happen. I saw it happen. I was there. And so that happened. So the question is why?

38:11 He says this a lot. I've noticed. I was there. I was there. I think he means he saw something on TV or he read the New York Times article without pictures or they said that something happened in the war room.

38:23 but he was there and i just want to be clear i don't primarily blame the israeli prime minister

38:29 who i think is wrong i think he's gravely hurt israel i think he's leading israel toward

38:34 destruction i think he's a very bad leader and a very unwise leader however i also believe

38:39 that prime minister netanyahu is acting in what he thinks is his nation's best interest so i give

38:45 him credit for that and always have i don't blame him primarily i blame donald trump for folding

38:51 under the pressure from Benjamin Netanyahu and his many allies in the United States. Donors to

38:58 Donald Trump, people in the media class here, were effectively working on behalf of the Israeli

39:02 government. And Donald Trump, whose decision it was, caved under that pressure. But on February

39:08 28th, the United States followed Israel into this war. And the Secretary of State of the United

39:14 States said, we had no choice. They chose the time. He didn't say we had no choice. The Israeli

39:20 prime minister decided when this started well that's the definition of control he had control

39:25 of this war and so hold on a second what is the definition of control let me just hear that again

39:30 half of the israeli government and donald trump whose decision it was caved under that pressure

39:35 but on february 28th the united states followed israel into this war and the secretary of state

39:41 of the united states said we had no choice they chose the time the israeli prime minister decided

39:46 when this started well that's the definition of control he had control of this war that's an

39:52 interesting way of looking at it even if you took lubio's uh statement at face value

39:59 it wasn't control he said because i know because we played the clip ad nauseum and pulled it apart

40:05 he said uh israel was going to strike and that would mean that we would be that we would have

40:10 strike so we had to go but i don't think that's the definition of control is it

40:16 Of course not.

40:18 Okay.

40:19 This is Tucker's simplification of things.

40:22 Well, that's what he does.

40:24 Well, that's the definition of control.

40:26 He had control of this war.

40:28 And so my question is, why did Donald Trump allow a nation of 9 million people to pull the United States, a nation of 350 million people?

40:37 Wait, the logical inconsistency.

40:41 First, he defines control to mean something he wants it to mean

40:46 so he can then make the assertion that how does a nation of 9 million people control –

40:53 I mean, it's a trick.

40:56 He uses trickery to make his point.

41:00 Yes, literary trickery.

41:02 Yeah, it's a trick.

41:04 And it's like, okay, well, if you didn't push back on the earlier assertion,

41:10 Now he's got you.

41:12 This is like how a pathological liar works, where they get you to agree to one thing that they know that you're now you're you're cooked because you've already agreed to the other thing.

41:22 So everything that logical that logically stems from that must be true.

41:27 Oh, yeah.

41:28 Well, Tucker's very good at that.

41:31 But now he adds another 50 million people to our country, which I thought was interesting when this started.

41:37 Well, that's the definition of control.

41:39 He had control of this war.

41:41 And so my question is, why did Donald Trump allow a nation of 9 million people to pull the United States, a nation of 350 million people, into a war that will change it?

41:52 Are we at 350 now?

41:54 Yeah, we've always been.

41:56 We've been at 350 for a while.

41:57 No, we were at 250 for a while.

41:59 And then we were at 300.

42:00 No, no, no, you're listening to an old show.

42:02 It's future.

42:03 And it is bad for the United States.

42:05 And I can't answer that question.

42:06 You can't answer it.

42:07 I don't have an answer.

42:08 uh-huh you want to hear more a couple more i don't have an answer that's good you want to

42:14 hear some more yeah sure okay you're implying that donald trump is so weak that the foreign

42:19 leader can drag him into a war he doesn't want well i'm not first of all i never hesitated

42:25 now now he's going to kind of walk it back well i never said that

42:30 you just said it you're implying that donald trump is so weak that the foreign leader can

42:36 drag him into a war he doesn't want well i'm not first of all i never hesitated and may be afraid

42:42 to say clearly that donald trump is weak let me say two things for one of course i'm not afraid

42:50 or i wouldn't be doing this interview or talking about this at all but maybe you're wrong by not

42:54 seeing uh what is very blunt truth that if the united states would cave in to iran terror regime

43:05 that controls now also the Hormuz Passway

43:10 and the terror ring that it created in the Middle East,

43:14 maybe it would be even worse for any citizens in the world,

43:19 not only in Israel, but also in the United States.

43:22 And this is exactly what Donald Trump said.

43:23 He said that the United States would have been in danger.

43:27 So you don't believe Donald Trump?

43:29 I don't believe Donald Trump.

43:32 And I also think, as an Israeli,

43:34 You should pause before using the phrase terror regime, since you live in a country that just

43:38 murdered thousands of children in Gaza. We should all pull back a little bit on the rhetoric.

43:43 Yes, well, that's the rhetoric. We should all pull back on the rhetoric after I just threw

43:49 out some rhetoric. Two more clips. But the behavior of the Israeli government

43:54 in Gaza is disgusting and immoral. And of course, Israel is not a democracy in any sense.

43:59 There are millions of people who live under Israeli control who cannot vote.

44:04 right and so if the west bank judea and sumeria and gaza or whatever we're calling these places

44:10 judea and sumeria what which israel has controlled since 1967 have people living in them who have no

44:17 control over the government that controls their lives which is true it's not a democracy so let's

44:22 just drop the talking points i agree with you on self-defense i don't think killing children is

44:27 self-defense it never will be and no amount of recounting the legitimate atrocities of october

44:33 7th will ever get me to accept this behavior from the Israeli government, from the U.S. government,

44:38 from the Iranian government, or any government. It's always wrong. And Israel doesn't like to

44:42 acknowledge the existence of universal principles that apply to everyone equally. That's why they're

44:47 principles, not preferences. And Israel, again, which I've always liked as a country, has a lot

44:52 of civilized, decent people living there to this day, has to acknowledge that principles are

44:58 universal they apply to everyone even you even me my government your government every government

45:05 but you won't acknowledge that it's always like oh iran's bad yeah iran's bad but your behavior

45:09 is bad too okay i can't counter that i mean lots of behavior is bad i mean there's stuff going on

45:18 nigeria there's stuff going on everywhere but yeah israel seems to be the focus and then we get the

45:23 final question which we've all been waiting for anything i don't think the united states should

45:27 give israel anything i think we should stop all aid to israel all special deals for israel

45:32 tomorrow mr carson are you running for office do you consider running for office i am not running

45:38 for office i have no plans to run for office i am starting to believe that the republican party

45:44 does not serve the united states and i certainly believe the democratic party does not serve the

45:48 united states and so i hope we have an option i would like a democracy in that it's like i'd

45:52 Like one in Israel.

45:53 So I'm moving to Qatar.

45:54 Israel is not a democracy.

45:55 The United States apparently is not a democracy either.

45:57 Our government keeps doing things that people don't want.

46:00 So that's not democracy.

46:01 It's the opposite of democracy.

46:02 And I want democracy very, very much.

46:05 I want democracy too.

46:07 Democracy?

46:07 Democracy.

46:08 It's a republic, you dumb shit.

46:10 He knows that.

46:10 But he wants democracy, as you yelled in the background, in Qatar.

46:14 Yes, that's where you want to buy a house because you feel safe there.

46:18 In the democracy of Qatar.

46:20 With a king.

46:22 with a king with a king it's uh it's just interesting it's interesting he's doing this

46:30 he's doing i think he is running i think he does have a plan i really do yeah what do you mean i

46:36 think he really has thoughts and people are talking to him we know people are talking to him your boy

46:41 kiriaku is talking to a boy i call him yeah you gotta run man you can win this thing you can win

46:46 this thing i am sure he's thinking about it why else do you do these interviews do your podcast

46:52 do your podcast who cares channel 13 in israel it was a fluke that i got it

47:00 yeah it's a fluke yeah so anyway i just thought well let's get the main story that was pushed on

47:09 the abc news out of the way because i have a three by three about the mosque and now it's time for

47:14 The three by three experiment by J.C.D.

47:18 Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC.

47:22 The never ending three by three.

47:25 That's right. The top stories from the three big ones.

47:27 John's got them lined up.

47:28 Let's see if they are exactly the same or if something is a little different in one of them.

47:33 Here we go.

47:34 ABC.

47:36 Tonight, authorities have revealed the two shooters were wearing body armor and camouflage,

47:40 armed with shotguns, rifles and handguns.

47:43 When they stormed the Islamic Center of San Diego, shooting and killing three people, including a hero security guard.

47:50 And they live streamed the attack using what appear to be helmet cameras.

47:54 The shooters made it inside the front entrance of a building just feet away from school children.

47:58 Police say the suspects went room by room and found no one.

48:02 They headed back outside to the parking lot.

48:04 Police believe the suspects heard the sound of rapidly approaching sirens and fled the scene.

48:12 This new video from blocks away shows the suspects then opening fire at a landscaper who wasn't

48:17 injured. Bull shooters then later found dead of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Tonight,

48:24 sources say the suspects are 17-year-old Kane Clark, a high school wrestler, and 18-year-old

48:29 Caleb Vasquez. The FBI says they met and were radicalized online and shared a broad hatred of

48:35 different races and religions. The live stream appears to show them wearing neo-Nazi symbols.

48:40 I can confirm there has been a manifesto that's been recovered.

48:44 They didn't discriminate on who they hated.

48:45 Police say the 17-year-old suspect's mother had called police two hours before the shooting,

48:50 fearing he was suicidal, saying her weapons and vehicle were missing,

48:54 setting off a manhunt before the attack.

48:56 And David, we have just learned from sources that a person previously reported

49:01 the 18-year-old suspect in this case and police made contact with him.

49:04 They were reported that he was interested in extremism and mass casualty attacks.

49:09 david so many grateful to that hero security guard tonight trevor all thank you you know

49:14 you wake up and you're interested in mass casualty events okay uh they were they met online and got

49:25 radicalized how oh very easy by the constant videos everywhere telling you that islam is

49:34 taking over america throw in some ssris which you'll never hear about and you've got yourself

49:40 a powder keg this doesn't surprise me at all and this they didn't care about who they hated

49:46 bullshit just go online it's look at this look at this imam look at this look at this guy oh

49:54 look at this oh they're taking over 200 mosques in texas they're gonna get a sharia law

49:59 yeah nbc yeah nbc you can hew the gunshots a person scrambling to push a stroller to safety

50:08 as a suspect opens fire in a san diego neighborhood and here glass breaking as more

50:14 shots come from that very vehicle police say just minutes before that shooting two gunmen

50:19 unleashed a deadly rampage at a mosque sending school kids running for their lives two senior

50:25 law enforcement officials telling NBC News the gunmen have been identified as 18-year-old Caleb

50:29 Vasquez and 17-year-old Cain Clark. And three senior law enforcement officials tell NBC News

50:35 they're trying to authenticate a document purportedly written by the suspects full of

50:40 anti-Islamic and anti-Semitic views, also describing themselves as anti-Trump. Outside

50:46 the car where police say they killed themselves, a bottle with a Nazi SS symbol. They didn't

50:52 discriminate on who they hated and at 9 40 a.m monday two hours before the killing spree police

50:57 say clark's mother called police to report her suicidal son had run away taking his parents

51:03 weapons and car police started a search including at a mall and school when two hours later the

51:10 first reports of gunfire at the mosque and then that second shooting scene just blocks away

51:16 branches still on the ground after police say the gunman opened fire on a landscaper one bullet

51:21 grazing off his helmet, another embedded right here in this very home.

51:25 As this investigation is still ongoing, Morgan, I know you have some new reporting in on these

51:30 suspects. Yeah, Tom, we do. And in addition to recovering those 30 firearms and crossbows,

51:35 authorities say that they believe these two teenagers met online where they were later

51:39 radicalized. And upon realizing that both lived here in San Diego, that's when they started

51:44 meeting in person. And right now they're doing a deep dive into their electronic devices.

51:50 deep dive i wonder if there was discord involved and um yeah well it's none of this is should be

51:59 surprising they hate trump okay they probably did they watch tucker do they watch fuentes

52:05 the jews are killing america the muslims are killing america this is this is what online

52:12 narrative is

52:14 it's in our own

52:17 troll room

52:17 I'm not surprised by this

52:20 they were probably radicalized by some trolls here

52:22 it doesn't surprise me

52:24 at all it's extremely sad

52:26 I think well I'll wait until we play

52:28 CBS did they do something different

52:30 CBS or CIA outlet

52:33 I don't

52:36 the only thing that I find interesting was that

52:38 both reports said

52:40 they didn't discriminate

52:42 against who they hated yeah let's see if cbs does that there's a reason for this i don't know what

52:49 it is yet but we're gonna find out we've seized over 30 guns and a crossbow san diego police say

52:54 the two teens who carried out the mosque shooting and apparently live streamed their rampage were

52:58 likely motivated by hate we also identified writings and various ideologies outlining

53:04 religious and racial beliefs of how the world they envisioned should look the two teenagers

53:09 17-year-old Cain Clark and Caleb Vasquez, 18, met online and connected over their hate-filled beliefs.

53:15 They approached the mosque just before noon on Monday and started shooting.

53:19 The gunmen came within 15 feet of 140 children inside.

53:24 Two mosque members, Nadir Awad and Mansour Kazia, engaged the shooters, moving them outside.

53:29 Earlier, Amin Abdullah, a security guard and father of eight, enacted lockdown protocols and took on the gunmen.

53:35 I felt a bit scared. My legs were shaking, my hands, and my head was hurting me a lot.

53:44 A landscaper working nearby was shot at. A bullet deflected off of his helmet, likely saving his life.

53:51 Imam Taha Hussain says their community is shaken, but...

53:54 I know that my community is resilient.

53:56 We're just trying our best to show the best of who we are, to stand in solidarity with one another,

54:03 especially with the families of the three victims police believe the shooters died from

54:10 self-inflicted gunshot wounds and tonight there is growing concern over hate directed at religious

54:17 groups and faith institutions are asking for additional police presence tony yeah well

54:22 christians are on deck next that'll be next this has already happened a couple of times

54:29 Are you kidding me?

54:29 Yeah.

54:30 No, I know.

54:30 These school shootings with the trans shooters, these guys weren't trans that we know of.

54:35 And I'd like to ask a question.

54:37 What brings somebody to kill?

54:39 They're ideologues.

54:41 They're going on and they're bitching and moaning about one thing or another and they're going to kill a bunch of Muslims.

54:46 They want to do this.

54:46 They want to do that.

54:47 Then they shoot themselves?

54:48 Wouldn't they rather be like living martyrs so they could go into the prisons and get people on their side of things or try to proselytize?

54:59 do something other than shoot themselves this whole thing stinks well that's the ssri's talking

55:04 with in combo with some discord i there's gotta be clearly but you know i'm looking for this video

55:11 let me see it was i'll look for it in a moment um this is an example of why people get all spun up

55:19 and angry but first uh cnn cbs was the only one who had a little bit of the audio of the kid the

55:26 nine-year-old cnn they oh they went to the mat they let's get this nine-year-old kid on camera

55:33 let's do it this will be great it's great television i felt a bit scared my legs were

55:38 shaking my hands and my my head was like hurting me a lot i felt like a rock the teachers and the

55:49 kids were like shaking sad and stuff and when the guy kicked the door all of them were crying

55:55 I heard like a bunch of bad stuff like gunshots and plus uh I went out I went inside the closet

56:02 with my whole class we heard like 12 or like 16 gunshots and then the SWAT team said FPA open up

56:12 and they opened the door and they went inside they told us to put our hands up and form a big line

56:18 we were like walking inside the mosque all of us we we saw the like the chick's apartment

56:26 inside the mosque and like it was broken down we went down and then we saw a bunch of bad stuff

56:33 people laying down and yeah bad stuff oh man child abuse yeah i agree i was gonna say the

56:41 same thing that's child abuse so this is a poor kid this is a guy at a uh city hall meeting in

56:49 frisco texas and he's got for some reason he has body armor on like military you know plate in the

56:55 front plate in the back and this is the kind of stuff that gets people really spun up and i can

57:00 see that this this gets kids you know into this radicalized state frisco with stan what are you

57:09 guys doing here inviting the enemy to eat at the table with you and they steal all your food

57:14 your children will grow up without a place to be in because every single one of their jobs and you

57:20 saw the children that were brought up on this stage not one of them is a heritage american

57:24 not one of them was a texan your replacement is here americans and it is coming faster and faster

57:30 the hindus and the muslims are teaming up to take over texas this is not muslims versus hindus here

57:38 they are here to eradicate the christians they are here to drive us out of our homelands you

57:44 have to understand these people do not want to assimilate these people have not come here to

57:49 become americans they have come here to drag their third world culture over to our country if jainism

57:56 if hinduism is so great why are their countries shitholes they are bringing this ideology here

58:04 to turn. The third world is not a place. It is a people. It is an ideology. It is a way of life.

58:10 It is a culture. And when they bring their people, their way of life, their ideology and their

58:15 culture over to America, do you think it's going to remain American? Have you ever looked across

58:20 the plains of Texas and said, Hmm, I need 5 million Jeets here right now to shit in the street.

58:25 No, no, no one ever has. No one has ever looked across and said the football fields, the games,

58:31 all of the amazing cowboy

58:33 I have a first amendment right and I can curse

58:35 if I want to

58:36 I can talk if I want to

58:38 no one has ever looked across the plains of Texas

58:41 in the football games and all the amazing cowboy

58:43 culture and the raw American spirit

58:45 here and said let's replace this with

58:47 Muslims let's replace this with Hindus

58:49 Texas should remain for Texans

58:51 this guy spun up

58:53 but this is

58:55 the feeling John

58:56 that is being created

58:59 online i i think the reality in some places yeah you've got enclave just like this is is this

59:07 anything different than chinatown than little italy than uh jewtown hasidic jew is it any

59:15 different has it ever been any different you're muted

59:21 uh yeah ghettos ghettos but has it ever been any different there's always been ghettos yeah

59:34 i think if they're talking about people crapping in the street it's not the hindus

59:42 It's the homeless in San Francisco.

59:44 They're not Hindus.

59:46 Don't look at those.

59:48 Those are Americans, damn it.

59:49 So, but this is what people watch.

59:54 And like, yeah, yeah.

59:56 There's no heritage Americans.

59:59 You know what that means?

1:00:01 White.

1:00:02 That's a new term.

1:00:04 Oh, that's cute.

1:00:06 So, you know, and I push back here all the time.

1:00:11 He said, you're out of your mind.

1:00:12 There are 25,000 churches in Texas and 253 mosques over the last 20 years.

1:00:19 Not the last two years, like you see online.

1:00:22 I'm like, okay.

1:00:23 All right.

1:00:25 Well, change the Constitution.

1:00:27 Change the Bill of Rights.

1:00:29 Only Christians.

1:00:30 But this is the...

1:00:36 It's flowing over from what happened in Europe, which is a very different situation.

1:00:41 And it's not Muslims, it's Islamists.

1:00:43 It's a big difference.

1:00:44 He's right about that.

1:00:46 It's a political ideology.

1:00:47 And if you see some dudes talking about,

1:00:50 we're going to take over America,

1:00:51 they should get a knock on the door.

1:00:53 Hey, what's your problem, son?

1:00:55 Let's make sure you don't have anything strange going on here.

1:00:58 Yeah, they should get a knock on the door.

1:01:01 We don't do that enough.

1:01:02 I agree.

1:01:03 But, you know, we wait till somebody does something,

1:01:06 and then we arrest them.

1:01:08 When you should just, you know, preventative, crime prevention is very easily done by just a, you know, hey, stop doing that.

1:01:17 Stop it.

1:01:18 Yeah, stop that for a moment, will you?

1:01:19 Stop it.

1:01:20 Exactly.

1:01:21 Well, I don't have enough of that.

1:01:22 We've already, we agree on that.

1:01:24 So, you know, so then you get this.

1:01:28 Well, that doesn't surprise me.

1:01:29 I have the MSNBC report just to wrap this up.

1:01:34 You know, Rob, I want to piggyback off of Eamon's idea about the peace of this community, being this mosque, its longevity in this community.

1:01:47 I want you to listen real quick to the Imam, to Hassan, and what he had to say about this moment.

1:01:56 It is extremely outrageous to target a place of worship.

1:02:04 our islamic center is a place of worship people come to the islamic center to pray

1:02:09 to celebrate to learn not only muslims but we have people from all walks of life just

1:02:19 this morning earlier a group of people non-muslims coming just to learn about our faith and our

1:02:27 cultures so this is something that we have never expected amen noted that you know they've been

1:02:37 there since the 19 late 1980s so the the depth and the roots of this of this uh community uh in

1:02:45 this center of faith and learning um uh clearly it's not enough you know uh those roots are no

1:02:53 longer enough

1:02:54 in this new

1:02:57 space where

1:02:59 God, I didn't realize he stammered so much.

1:03:01 Well, he's trying to, you know, he's

1:03:03 in his sincere mode.

1:03:04 This guy's a stooge.

1:03:07 Yes,

1:03:09 he is a stooge. He is.

1:03:10 He is.

1:03:11 Anyway.

1:03:13 Well, let's go to another story that I think is

1:03:16 the weird, to me

1:03:19 is weird. I don't understand it

1:03:21 completely. I don't know how we can do it.

1:03:23 But we've done it, which is Castro indictment.

1:03:26 Yeah, this is good.

1:03:29 Which one do you want to play first?

1:03:30 Well, I'll start with the NPR, which I think is the overview.

1:03:32 You mean the NTD?

1:03:34 Did I?

1:03:36 Yeah, NTD.

1:03:37 Okay.

1:03:38 Tonight, the Justice Department's indictment of former Cuban dictator Raul Castro today

1:03:42 marks a significant move in the Trump administration's escalating pressure against Cuba.

1:03:47 NTD's Arlene Richards has the story.

1:03:50 Federal authorities in Miami on Wednesday announcing charges against Raul Castro tied to the 1996 shoot-down of civilian planes operated by Brothers to the Rescue, an incident that killed four people.

1:04:02 Castro served for decades as one of the most powerful figures in Cuba's communist regime.

1:04:07 He was Cuba's defense minister at the time of the attack and later became the country's president, succeeding his brother, Fidel Castro.

1:04:14 Today, we are announcing an indictment charging Raul Castro and several others with conspiracy

1:04:22 to kill U.S. nationals. Mr. Castro and the others are charged with additional crimes as well,

1:04:28 including destruction of aircraft and four individual counts of murder. Castro faces a

1:04:35 maximum term of life imprisonment on the conspiracy and murder charges and up to five years on each

1:04:40 of the destruction of aircraft charges. Prosecutors accused Castro of involvement in the order to

1:04:45 shoot those planes down. Raul Castro ordered those fighter jets to shoot down unarmed civilian

1:04:53 aircraft. It was not an accident. It was intentional, premeditated, state-sanctioned

1:05:00 murder. And their criminal conspiracy violated Florida's sovereignty. The announcement comes

1:05:06 alongside a commemoration service for those who lost their lives.

1:05:09 Federal authorities say that the charges are a step toward accountability.

1:05:13 For nearly 70 years, the communist Cuban regime has acted with impunity

1:05:19 in its systematic repression of its people.

1:05:23 And for the last 30 years, this regime's senior leadership

1:05:27 has gone unchallenged for its murder of four Americans.

1:05:32 while it remains unclear whether there are plans to bring castro into u.s custody the indictment

1:05:37 represents one of the strongest legal actions yet taken against cuba's former leadership

1:05:42 to me it seemed very obvious what this was solidify florida for the midterms we gotta

1:05:51 have florida gotta make sure we nail that down but i don't think i don't think florida's in play

1:05:58 well it isn't now that's for sure well the other thing i have mixed feelings about this

1:06:05 one they claim that the cubans sent some fighters to shoot down these planes in florida airspace

1:06:15 if that was true why was it weren't those fighters brought down by by missiles no i don't think the

1:06:22 story is important i think it's all um well i'm just saying i'm asking these questions yeah i

1:06:27 don't know and then cuba says no no no we did this over our land and we this is a you know these

1:06:33 planes were in our airspace and we shot them down uh the other thing is this went on for 30 years

1:06:39 yeah it's 30 years ago this happened yeah this is just posturing they're just getting ready

1:06:45 getting ready to take over the place well let's listen to the analysis because i have a

1:06:49 i have a theory about this okay let's go to analysis one next officials in florida today

1:06:57 reacting to the federal indictment of former cuba dictator raul castro saying it will be life

1:07:03 changing for people living in cuba as well as the u.s and it is david lamb has more on that

1:07:08 officials in florida sharing their thoughts on the latest developments regarding cuba

1:07:12 after the federal indictment of raul castro the former head of cuba's communist regime

1:07:19 Alexander Díaz-Rodríguez is, I think, 45 years old.

1:07:21 Look how old he looks in this.

1:07:23 You know why?

1:07:23 He was starved.

1:07:24 He was tortured.

1:07:25 He has cancer.

1:07:27 They didn't give him treatment.

1:07:27 That's the face of the Cuban regime.

1:07:30 The indictment describes how Fidel Castro, his brother Raúl Castro, and others established a ruthless communist dictatorship in Cuba after seizing power in 1959.

1:07:41 Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressing the Cuban people.

1:07:46 Estados Unidos estamos listos para abrir un nuevo capítulo en la relación entre nuestra gente y nuestros países.

1:07:53 Y actualmente, lo único que se interpone en el camino hacia un mejor futuro son quienes controlan su país.

1:08:03 Congressman Carlos Jiménez, a Cuban-American, says he looks forward to a free Cuba.

1:08:08 Very happy for today.

1:08:11 I was born in Cuba, returned to Guantanamo about a year ago, and I made a promise that I would never return to Cuba again unless it was free.

1:08:21 I believe I'm going to be able to keep that promise and I'm going to see a free Cuba in the not-too-distant future.

1:08:26 Castro's indictment stems from his alleged involvement in Cuba's shooting down of two planes belonging to a humanitarian group in 1996,

1:08:35 in which three American citizens and a U.S. resident were killed.

1:08:41 And people were swimming across the Florida Strait, and the Brothers to the Rescue were going out on their own to help people get to our shores, to escape tyranny.

1:08:48 And they gave the order, Raul Castro, to shoot them down, to shoot them out of the sky.

1:08:54 Well, today, there will be justice.

1:08:56 What's the difference between now and then is that we have President Trump in the White House.

1:09:01 That is the big difference.

1:09:05 Here's a thought.

1:09:07 Two things happened this week.

1:09:10 Can you be vice president for a different president twice?

1:09:13 So could J.D. Vance could be Lubio's vice president?

1:09:17 There's absolutely no reason you can't do that.

1:09:19 Oh, perfect.

1:09:20 This is it.

1:09:20 Lubio for president.

1:09:22 And he'll have a huge, huge base behind him.

1:09:27 And J.D. Vance, you know, we just saw he's great at the press conferences.

1:09:32 So he'll be vice president slash press secretary.

1:09:34 Forever.

1:09:35 Forever.

1:09:36 Yeah.

1:09:37 This is positioning.

1:09:39 Look at the difference.

1:09:41 Lubio gets to say what he just did.

1:09:44 And Vance gets to run the press.

1:09:46 It's a winning team, man.

1:09:48 Now we have a CIA guy they brought in.

1:09:53 Which brings me to my thoughts, which I'll, after this second clip of the analysis.

1:09:59 And joining us to discuss the implications of these charges against former dictator and defense minister Raul Castro is Michael Waller.

1:10:06 He's a former CIA operative and senior analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy.

1:10:10 Michael, today for you must be surreal.

1:10:13 You've spent your career in defense, national security, and foreign policy development with a specialty on Latin America.

1:10:19 What is the significance of this May 20th Cuban Independence Day with accountability on the horizon for a Castro?

1:10:25 It's a great day.

1:10:27 Raul Castro killed a lot of my friends.

1:10:29 He had them gunned down across Central America and elsewhere.

1:10:32 So this is a really exciting time to see this man finally brought in for justice in shackles.

1:10:38 Your response gives me chills.

1:10:42 Would you expect Castro to turn himself in or perhaps a Maduro-style operation?

1:10:46 Or is he just too old to even be able to make that trip back to the U.S. in his mid-90s at this point?

1:10:52 Well, I think he'd rather die than surrender.

1:10:56 That's part of his nature.

1:10:57 So he'll have to just make a choice or we'll make it for him.

1:11:01 Just noted today, the the U.S. Southern Command announced that the aircraft carrier Nimitz strike strike group has just entered the Caribbean.

1:11:11 And if you look at the video that they posted on X, there's a map of Cuba in the very last half second.

1:11:16 OK, yes. Well, this is not unexpected.

1:11:19 So I think this is Trump finally getting around to completing the Bay of Pigs operation that Kennedy chickened out on.

1:11:29 Yeah.

1:11:29 It's like, okay, the CIA wanted to take this guy out right away.

1:11:34 They couldn't.

1:11:35 While the getting was good, and then Kennedy didn't have the wherewithal.

1:11:40 He didn't have the, he just didn't like it.

1:11:43 And he was also part of it during that era.

1:11:46 No, man, no, man.

1:11:47 Israel told him not to.

1:11:49 Yeah, it was part of that era where people were kind of soft on communism.

1:11:55 And Castro presented himself kind of not as a full-blown communist.

1:12:00 And so Kennedy couldn't pull the trigger.

1:12:03 And so they let the thing fail, the Bay of Pigs event fail, which it did.

1:12:09 And it's got to be, it's been a thorn in the CIA's paw ever since.

1:12:15 And Trump is fixing it.

1:12:18 That's the only thing that could be going on.

1:12:20 That CIA guy was all jacked up talking about it.

1:12:23 And he also mentions he thinks Raul Castro is still running the country, despite the fact that he's retired.

1:12:29 And there's some other tidbits.

1:12:30 I could have gotten three or four more clips.

1:12:32 It was going to get too boring, but I didn't do it.

1:12:35 But I think that's what's going on.

1:12:38 And Trump's going to end up, you know, besides being in the quagmire, it looks like in Iran, he's going to fix the Cuba situation for good.

1:12:47 Well, if this is true, and I like the thesis, what other blunders could Trump go and fix from the past?

1:12:55 Can we finally get the Viet Cong?

1:12:57 Viet Cong.

1:13:00 Wow.

1:13:02 There's got to be something else he can do.

1:13:05 One of these blunders.

1:13:07 We've had a lot of blunders.

1:13:08 Well, he did Panama.

1:13:10 We got Panama fixed, I guess.

1:13:12 I don't hear anything else about Panama.

1:13:17 He's fixing the Hormuz Straits, no problem.

1:13:19 And I think he will fix it, and I think he will fix it before July 4th, one way or the other.

1:13:26 He's got the Cuba thing.

1:13:28 Yeah, he's come in, he's the mechanic that fixes all the screw-ups.

1:13:33 Here's some CBC analysis.

1:13:35 Trump declined to say whether the U.S. military would conduct an operation to seize Castro, similar to what American forces did in Venezuela.

1:13:45 When President Nicolas Maduro was captured and flown to New York to face drug-related charges,

1:13:51 the move facilitated a leadership change in Caracas viewed as more favorable to Washington and U.S. oil interests.

1:13:58 Castro will appear in court one way or another, says Todd Blanch.

1:14:03 This isn't a show indictment. We expect that he will show up here by his own will or by another way.

1:14:13 Cuba's president, Miguel Diaz-Canel, is condemning the indictment.

1:14:17 In a post on social media, he says the case against Castro has been fabricated to justify military aggression against Cuba.

1:14:25 The Cuban leadership is certainly not going to just turn him over.

1:14:29 Peter Kornbluh is a senior Cuba analyst with a research group in Washington, and he predicts tensions are about to rise.

1:14:36 I think we're living in a very grim moment in which the dark cloud of possible U.S. acts of war against Cuba are coming.

1:14:44 Donald Trump has said many times he built up the military in his first term and now he's going to use it in his second term.

1:14:51 If the U.S. does decide to take action, it won't likely happen quickly since so many resources are already deployed to the Middle East for the U.S. war in Iran.

1:15:00 That's not even true. Didn't the Abraham Lincoln just come back into port?

1:15:04 No, it was the Nimitz.

1:15:06 No, that was the Ford.

1:15:07 The Ford, yeah.

1:15:08 Ford came back.

1:15:09 It was also big.

1:15:10 Ford's not small.

1:15:11 Yeah, well, that was deployed forever.

1:15:12 That's the one I think that had the bad toilets or something.

1:15:15 Yeah, for 11 months.

1:15:16 They had to park in Greece to have them fixed because nobody in Europe would take the ship.

1:15:20 We're not going to fix that.

1:15:21 It's really pissed everybody.

1:15:22 Italy wouldn't.

1:15:23 No, no, no.

1:15:24 Get that thing out of here.

1:15:25 Especially with the bad toilets.

1:15:28 We don't need that aggravation.

1:15:29 We already have enough toilet issues in Venice.

1:15:32 Here is the ramp-up opportunity.

1:15:35 As President Trump publicly weighs taking military action in Cuba, the country's president, Miguel Diaz-Canel, is warning that doing so would create a, quote, bloodbath.

1:15:45 In an exclusive, Axios reports that Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones and is discussing using them to potentially attack the Guantanamo Bay U.S. detention center and possibly even parts of the U.S. mainland.

1:16:01 White House correspondent for Axios, Mark Caputo, joins me now to discuss his new reporting and walk us through what you've learned, Mark.

1:16:09 Well, you sort of set it up pretty well, is after the toppling of Maduro in Venezuela,

1:16:15 Venezuelan intelligence began telling the United States that around mid-2023, Cuba had begun acquiring drones and had as many as 300, which surprised the United States.

1:16:26 And recently, according to the intelligence officials we spoke to, there were intercepts of chatter, of discussions in Cuban military circles,

1:16:34 of not only buying more drones from Russia, but also discussing possibly attacking these targets.

1:16:41 Now, we are told that there's no imminent threat from Cuba, that Cuba was talking about launching these attacks in case hostilities erupted, military hostilities.

1:16:52 Yeah, Shahid drones is what I'm thinking.

1:16:55 So that's the next thing.

1:16:57 Oh, they got drones.

1:16:58 Oh, they got the drones, and they can hit Guantanamo.

1:17:03 They can hit Miami Beach.

1:17:04 Well, it's only 90 miles.

1:17:08 That's what I'm saying.

1:17:09 It's a ramp up.

1:17:10 This is a ramp up.

1:17:11 Yeah.

1:17:14 Well, that's just maybe they're being set up so they can send a drone,

1:17:19 or it could be a false flag, a fake drone.

1:17:22 Now we've got the notion that they've got the drones.

1:17:25 Some drone hits Miami Beach.

1:17:27 It could be one of our drones.

1:17:28 It's a complete false flag.

1:17:31 And then we attack Cuba and grab Castro and change the government.

1:17:35 And then, well, maybe could Marco, could he be the president of Cuba?

1:17:39 Could we give him a gimme?

1:17:40 I like that idea.

1:17:42 I bet he would like it too.

1:17:44 Think of the vacation destination.

1:17:47 I'm so bored of all the islands.

1:17:50 The CIA guy said that he claims – I can't verify this.

1:17:55 I've discussed it with some people, though, to be honest about it – that Rubio can speak fluent, perfect Spanish, but he spoke – in that speech, he spoke with his Cuban accent.

1:18:08 So he has a Cuban-Spanish, which, according to at least one friend of mine who speaks fluent Colombian-Spanish, Cuban-Spanish is like gutter Spanish.

1:18:19 Gutter Spanish is like, you know, it's like talking like this when you know you have a funny accent in the United States, you talk funny.

1:18:26 Are you making fun of Texas?

1:18:27 No, Texas talks like this.

1:18:30 That's different.

1:18:32 Speaking of Texas, something interesting happened in Houston, which I believe is at the very same hospital where our vax guy is.

1:18:42 What's his name again?

1:18:43 The one with the glasses?

1:18:45 No, yeah, HOTEP.

1:18:47 HOTEP, exactly.

1:18:48 It's his hospital, and this is what's happened.

1:18:52 A controversial settlement over transgender care for minors reached today between Texas Children's Hospital and...

1:18:58 Hey, man, you are really banging your mic a lot.

1:19:01 i'm i'm yeah i'm moving things around and i and i'm hitting the mic by accident do you here's the

1:19:07 i i can explain the setup there's this wire that i keep bumping into and it makes it it makes a

1:19:14 noise when it when i hit it get some gaffer tape man lock that down this is professional i need

1:19:18 gaffer's tape i don't have any here we go i'll start over a controversial settlement over

1:19:23 transgender care for minors reached today between texas children's hospital in houston and attorney

1:19:29 General Ken Paxton. After years of back and forth and the involvement of the U.S. Department of

1:19:34 Justice, Texas Children's is agreeing to pay $10 million to the state, revoke the privileges of

1:19:40 several doctors, and create what Paxton calls the nation's first detransition clinic. This all stems

1:19:46 from a 2023 state investigation into allegations that the hospital improperly billed Texas Medicaid

1:19:51 for some of the care. In a statement, Paxton says in part, quote, this settlement will ensure that

1:19:57 the deranged child mutilators who hurt our kids are fired and held accountable,

1:20:02 adding that the detransition clinic will help provide free care to those who have been victimized

1:20:07 by twisted, morally bankrupt transgender ideology.

1:20:11 We may have a lot of Muslims, but we're stopping this nonsense.

1:20:14 Can I ask you a question?

1:20:16 Yep.

1:20:16 Okay, so Trump is ousting Cornyn, who has always voted with Trump on all issues,

1:20:24 include the big beautiful bill and everything else and cornyn's been a staunch republican

1:20:28 and they're running ken paxton who i understand is somewhat controversial within this

1:20:35 boundaries of texas itself for some reason i think that goes back we talked about this guy before

1:20:41 what's going on a lot why is ken paxton being run against cornyn uh i think because he won't

1:20:52 He's put in anti-AI laws, but he's very much, I think he may even be in the Trump faith office.

1:21:08 What?

1:21:10 I think he's in the office of faith.

1:21:12 He's one of the people there.

1:21:13 Office of what?

1:21:17 The faith office.

1:21:19 There's a faith office.

1:21:21 Oh, a faith office.

1:21:23 Yes, faith office.

1:21:25 So why is he ousting Cornyn?

1:21:27 Yeah, Cornyn is a shoo-in.

1:21:29 Why would you do this?

1:21:30 Is this because of the faith office?

1:21:34 I don't think so.

1:21:35 No, but he is in the White—my point is he's in the White House all the time.

1:21:40 He's saying, look, make me attorney general.

1:21:43 I will make sure—

1:21:46 Attorney general?

1:21:46 They're making him senator.

1:21:47 oh he already is the attorney general sorry yeah hello hello i'm asking the wrong guy apparently

1:21:55 come on you gotta be you have to have the answer to this question you're the texan

1:22:00 all i know is that everybody i know voted for cornyn they did not vote for paxton so that's

1:22:08 my texas beat why trump is doing that is as much a mystery to me as it is to you i'm trying to come

1:22:15 up with some theories and you're just berating me and you need to stop well i'm not berating you i'm

1:22:19 yeah i am you are but i'll stop berating you once you come up with a theory that that's

1:22:24 understandable because i sure don't get it and nobody else does here's what here's what the

1:22:28 litany is the litany is that trump uh is that paxton is more is a is the result of the mega

1:22:39 base demanding that paxton be put in and cornyn be kicked out it's got nothing to do with trump

1:22:44 at all it's the mega base but why i don't know you have you have of theories as good as any or

1:22:52 the meg is the mega base that's stupid no the mega base which lives in fredericksburg is voted for

1:22:58 cornyn well there you go so now that even that theory doesn't make any sense then no so i don't

1:23:04 know why i'm trying to tell you that he's in the president's face all day long because he's in the

1:23:09 face office and he's running around there doing all kinds of stuff so okay so let me think of

1:23:17 possibly this being it because i've worked in organizations where you are like you as a writer

1:23:24 for example you're not in the office but there's some conniver in the office trying to get your job

1:23:32 there you go that's as good as anything i can come up with and they end up getting your job

1:23:40 because you're not in the office to defend yourself yeah but again that's terrible but yeah

1:23:47 and i am not that's bad management on trump's part i'm not i'm not a paxton fan someone's in

1:23:53 his ear about paxton nobody likes paxton that's the reason i think i'm asking this

1:23:58 he seems to be disliked by the texans yes yeah

1:24:04 yeah man there's a there's a i can't tell this story on the air

1:24:10 but what has this is he pax paxton came to our church a couple weeks ago

1:24:20 and i can't tell you but i just can't tell you on the air but but i will tell you off the air

1:24:27 but there's i have reasons secrets people i do i have reasons to not like this guy because he swore

1:24:35 me and and i think you don't even need to meet him to know that he swore me swore me or smarmy

1:24:45 yeah both smarmy swarmy icky swarmy i think it's some sort of soup icky

1:24:53 is yeah yeah creepy creepy there you go creepy creepy but he has a lot of political power

1:25:00 so and i don't know why but um sorry i i've been sworn to secrecy on this one

1:25:09 okay there's no problem that happens uh let me um switch topics for a second because this is

1:25:17 this is an interesting story it's it comes across as a problem and i think it is uh this is the the

1:25:26 trump um blind trust so-called blind trust yeah this is great here's ms now okay i think you're

1:25:35 going to want to take a deep breath before this one because we got the president's financial

1:25:39 transactions what i'm taking a deep breath uh it's ms now this is how they talk from the beginning

1:25:46 they're doing podcasts on television this year and it is stunning his filing with the u.s office

1:25:52 of government ethics show that he has done more than 3 700 stock trades many of those trades with

1:25:58 companies that this administration is doing business with and if you're wondering i don't

1:26:03 know i don't trade stocks is that a lot it's a lot steve ratner who you know from morning joe

1:26:08 he's a professional investor said in his decades and decades of investing he doesn't think he's

1:26:13 that many trades in total and some of the major ones were trades in the tech sector i'm talking

1:26:19 microsoft amazon meta nvidia just to name a few why is that so notable because i know you know

1:26:26 this the president has been spending an enormous amount of time with these companies with these

1:26:30 ceos last week alone when he went to china who was there tim cook apple ceo jensen wang nvidia ceo

1:26:37 And the timing of these trades is raising some major red flags.

1:26:41 Oh, yeah.

1:26:42 So here's Rachel Maddow's version of it.

1:26:44 And then I will give you my best deconstruction.

1:26:47 Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell,

1:26:51 Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote,

1:26:55 go out and buy a Dell computer.

1:26:57 Then in March, he buys up a whole bunch of stock in a company called Thermo Fisher.

1:27:02 Repeated purchases of Thermo Fisher.

1:27:05 Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit.

1:27:15 And on this presidential visit to Thermo Fisher, he praises the company repeatedly as an incredible company.

1:27:22 He says, as president, that he wants other pharmaceutical companies to start working with Thermo Fisher.

1:27:27 He buys their stock, and then he goes out and boosts the company as president.

1:27:32 Judd Legum also notes that that same day, March 11th, same day as the Thermo Fisher visit, that same day Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple.

1:27:42 And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim Cook for praise.

1:27:50 Apple, a great company.

1:27:52 Then after that, Trump buys between $50,000 and $100,000 of Micron stock.

1:27:57 Okay?

1:27:58 Between $50,000 and $100,000 in Micron stock.

1:28:02 The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them, Micron, it's one of the hottest companies.

1:28:09 Then it's Palantir, CNBC reporting.

1:28:12 Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock.

1:28:18 Then he gets on Truth Social and praises Palantir, Palantir technologies, great capabilities and equipment.

1:28:25 He literally even posted the stock ticker abbreviation for Palantir right after he bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of their stock and got online to boost it, giving people the stock ticker abbreviation to make it easier for them to go buy some Palantir to boost the value of the stock he just bought before he said this online.

1:28:47 Okay, so Rachel, of course, gives us no analysis, but I think it was...

1:28:52 By the way, he's buying the stock high.

1:28:54 Well, here's my observations.

1:28:58 First of all, I think it was Eric Trump who said, it's in a blind trust, and it's not.

1:29:06 It's a revocable trust, and the two Trump brothers are completely in charge of it.

1:29:12 So they can buy and sell.

1:29:15 It's not blind.

1:29:16 They can do whatever they want.

1:29:18 Now, you'd have to think they'll be really, really, really, really stupid to be taking insider information.

1:29:26 And I agree, if you look at the trades, it's not like he's buying them at the bottom and then hyping them up.

1:29:33 But the key is 3,700 trades.

1:29:37 That's HFT.

1:29:39 They've got an algo running.

1:29:41 It's high-frequency trading.

1:29:43 They're not in charge of anything.

1:29:45 They're running an algo for this stuff.

1:29:48 3,700 trades ask Horowitz I'm sure he'll tell you that has to be high frequency trading so they're

1:29:56 just letting some algo run based upon I don't know Twitter that's what you do when you have

1:30:01 that kind of money yes exactly so they're trying to make it look like there's all kinds of insider

1:30:08 trading and everything's all oh it's all wishy-washy but I don't think so I think they just

1:30:13 let an algo run because that's what family offices do i just run the algo and that thing

1:30:18 buys and sells a hundred times a day up and down up and down taking a couple of pennies in each

1:30:24 each direction of the trade and that's how it works that's the buried lead here that's that's

1:30:31 not buried i love saying that i love saying jargon yeah but then this buried lead this this story i

1:30:39 think is a problem. We turn now to the dark world of online betting markets that allow bets on

1:30:44 virtually any news event. For a small group of traders, the war with Iran has been a windfall.

1:30:50 On the night of February 27th, 16 bets on the trading platform known as Polymarket

1:30:56 made $100,000 each for accurately predicting when the U.S. would strike Iran. Soon after,

1:31:03 one trader made over half a million dollars betting that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be

1:31:09 toppled moments before he was assassinated by Israeli forces. The same surge was seen in oil

1:31:15 futures trading as well. Right before President Trump announced a temporary ceasefire with Iran

1:31:20 on March 7th, traders bet $950 million that oil prices would drop, which they did. On the same

1:31:29 day, 50 polymarket accounts placed bets that the U.S. and Iran would reach a ceasefire before Trump

1:31:35 announced it on social media. Overall, traders have placed over a billion dollars in perfectly

1:31:41 timed wagers relating to the Iran war. A recent analysis by the BBC of online bets placed

1:31:48 throughout President Trump's second term found a consistent pattern of spikes just hours or

1:31:54 sometimes minutes before a social media post or media statement from President Trump was made

1:31:59 public. The timing of these bets and the huge windfalls they've created are raising concerns

1:32:06 of possible insider trading. Prediction markets and platforms like Polymarket and its biggest

1:32:11 competitor, Kalshi, are governed by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, or the CFTC.

1:32:17 This means they can avoid state-level restrictions in place for traditional gambling and sports

1:32:23 betting today. A growing number of states are trying to stop this, but the Trump administration

1:32:29 has pushed back trump's son donald trump jr has advisory roles in both polymarket and kalshi

1:32:36 yeah he should get off those boards that's a really bad look

1:32:40 i agree that's a very bad look yeah this is there's some guy some soldier was busted

1:32:48 and yeah and there's been a lot of uh hanky panky but this whole thing is ripe for it

1:32:55 we've talked about this before as a prop bets yes yeah but but if you're the president's son

1:33:02 and i do not think he is uh intellectually the same as the president you know he's he's

1:33:08 swarmy there it is again in fact this is how swarmy they are hold on where is it swarmy

1:33:14 swarmy is there's no such word what is the word what is the word smarmy smart smarmy

1:33:20 yeah it doesn't sound right smarmy yeah smarmy so finally this is i i love our uh

1:33:29 i love our maga women here the women of fredericksburg but i know several women who

1:33:36 had pre-ordered this months and months and months ago they were so excited about getting it and

1:33:41 finally it's here gold casing a flag stamped on the back this long-awaited t1 phone from trump

1:33:48 mobile is finally here it was in june last year that the president's sons announced a bold new

1:33:53 venture today we're here to introduce trump mobile the phone marketed as a patriotic alternative to

1:33:59 big tech and promised as an american-made phone trump mobile said the phone would be released in

1:34:04 august nbc news put down the 100 deposit that same month but nine months passed with 12 phone

1:34:12 calls and countless emails to the company but one day after this report last week here we are in may

1:34:17 of 2026 and there appears to be no sign of it someone on behalf of trump mobile contacted me

1:34:22 and said devices were going out to the media okay okay here it is here is a long-awaited

1:34:30 trump mobile phone the phone is taller than an iphone 17 and comes with 512 gigabytes of storage

1:34:36 at a relatively cheap 499 dollars which the company says is promotional pricing

1:34:42 like any other phone it can make calls send texts some wide angles and takes pretty good photos too

1:34:51 the phone looks different from how it was originally advertised the original language

1:34:55 on the website said the phone would be made in the usa language that has since been scrubbed

1:35:00 from the website now saying american proud design with an american flag that has only 11 stripes

1:35:07 experts say the phone resembles a phone made in taiwan representatives for trump mobile did not

1:35:12 respond to questions about whether the phone is made in the u.s and the white house did not confirm

1:35:16 if president trump himself is using the phone bearing his name it's a piece of crap i love the

1:35:22 11 stripes on the flag that's my favorite that is that you know some dude in china went oh let's do

1:35:28 this that'll be hilarious yeah there's too many there's no room for all these stripes can't fit

1:35:34 all these stripes and it is reminiscent of another president's phone everybody in cleveland

1:35:38 low minority got obama phone keep obama in president you know he gave us a phone

1:35:44 oh man what what a canard this phone is it's it's a piece of crap android it's no good

1:35:52 yeah but it's gold i'm looking at a picture of it now it's gold man it's gold it looks like

1:36:00 every other phone so we missed this um general patent on the down low scott besant uh was at the

1:36:11 g7 paris meeting and he he laid down the law man he is he's going after terror financing

1:36:20 and i had completely missed this but here is uh here's a report about it u.s treasury secretary

1:36:27 Scott Besson called on allies to more forcefully disrupt Iran's financing networks and said the

1:36:34 treasury would scrub its sanctions list of outdated designations to make it easier for

1:36:40 financial institutions to root out the most sophisticated terrorist financing schemes.

1:36:45 In remarks prepared for delivery at an anti-terrorism financing conference after G7

1:36:51 finance leaders met in Paris, Besson said that participants needed to stand with us in full

1:36:58 measure against Iran. Besson said that we'll require their European partners to join the

1:37:05 United States in taking action against Iran by designating its financiers, unmasking its shell

1:37:12 and front companies, shuttering its bank branches, and dismantling its proxies. As the Trump

1:37:18 administration tries to pressure Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to unlock vital oil flows

1:37:25 disrupted by the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, the U.S. Treasury has stepped up its sanctions

1:37:31 efforts through a program dubbed Economic Fury. It aims to disrupt Iran's shadow banking networks

1:37:39 and has frozen nearly half a billion dollars worth of cryptocurrency linked to Iran's regime.

1:37:46 Most US Treasury sanctions are imposed on individuals, companies, and other entities

1:37:51 that are added to its specially designated nationals list, which contains tens of thousands

1:37:58 of designees that are cut off from the dollar-based financial system and see assets frozen. Anyone

1:38:05 that transacts with designated entities risks being sanctioned themselves. He said the most

1:38:10 effective sanctions are aggressive and targeted, and those left in place too long could create

1:38:16 unintended consequences. He said the Treasury's approach would maintain agility to maximize

1:38:22 effectiveness and cited examples of easing sanctions on Syria and Venezuela after regime

1:38:28 changes as examples of how the Trump administration intends to adjust sanctions. So what Besson didn't

1:38:35 say, but what is in the anti-terrorism document from the White House, I believe, is that all of

1:38:43 this nonsense all terrorism is ultimately funded through the muslim brotherhood and we know which

1:38:50 is a creation of the british mi6 exactly so if you look at the ofact list this is the office of

1:38:57 foreign assets control i think it is what is it ofact i think that's what it is listen to the

1:39:03 companies that are on the list and now being uh that are sanctioned and blocked um we have

1:39:12 london uh the tanker up london domiciled tanker operators science obedient international company

1:39:21 limited these are all uk companies double in uh global fortune shipping limited luna luster

1:39:29 all british companies sparkling courage limited uk company gala rose chemical oil tankers uk company

1:39:39 all uk companies this is i think this is more significant than people realize

1:39:45 you know they're cutting off these networks and it all goes back to to the brits all of it

1:39:53 now i have a question in the report he says he is going to they froze uh crypto how do you

1:40:01 freeze crypto i thought crypto was impossible to freeze well that's because they're using a

1:40:06 general term um iran funny enough had uh usd had usdt they had uh tether tether stable coin

1:40:16 which is completely controllable and that's what he sees just click just lock it up

1:40:23 so that's not going to encourage its use oh no but this is not for if you want to do something

1:40:32 illegal you go to the to the mac daddy you go to bitcoin you don't go to tether well why didn't

1:40:38 they go to bitcoin uh who says they didn't it's very hard to prove uh if you ask the bitcoin

1:40:43 community oh yeah it's all bitcoin okay i'm sure uh no but they had a part of that toll system was

1:40:50 stablecoin you remember we had the clip when they were they would say oh you got to come by us and

1:40:55 go through the toll and they were charging stablecoin which is really easy to get you know

1:41:00 and you don't have to go through a lot of know your customer KYC stuff,

1:41:04 but I guess the Iranians, the guard didn't think about the fact

1:41:09 that the general patent on the download could just grab that,

1:41:13 which is exactly what you can do with stable coin.

1:41:16 But stable coin is not for us.

1:41:17 Stable coin is for the rest of the world.

1:41:19 Stable coin is for Venezuela, for South America.

1:41:22 It's going to be for Cuba.

1:41:23 It'll be for Iran eventually.

1:41:26 Anyone who wants to have an American dollar in a digital dollar will be able to get stable coin.

1:41:33 And then you play along.

1:41:34 Otherwise, we take your stable coin.

1:41:36 I'm under no illusion that's what they're doing here.

1:41:40 But it's not, I mean, to say it's crypto is just dumb reporting.

1:41:46 Huh.

1:41:49 Yeah.

1:41:49 Dumb reporting.

1:41:51 Go figure.

1:41:54 whoever thought that would happen dumb reporting exactly um but so if you so people are saying

1:42:02 you know this war is uh you know is is not good for america i disagree i think we need it's good

1:42:09 to shut down all of this financing look all the shipping is run out of out of the uk screw that

1:42:14 we should be running that i don't know if we're good at it but we're going to find out

1:42:18 i heard from a guy yesterday that i met that i thought lloyds of london was just like one

1:42:25 building and a whole bunch of people writing up insurance policies that's not true it's a

1:42:30 trading floor did you know this i always thought it was yeah it's a trading floor and it's always

1:42:36 been that way there's a movie about it oh what is the movie i'd love to see that i think it's

1:42:41 called lloyds of london it was like done in the 30s or i think and they have all these different

1:42:46 reinsurers all with little booths on this trading floor and they're all bidding it's like a stock

1:42:52 market yeah yeah i didn't realize that i thought it was just one big company that writes insurance

1:42:56 policies or or that's why people like you know every so often you'd have rod stewart you know

1:43:02 or some famous person all being the the underwriter for some insurance policy because they were in the

1:43:09 they did the trade to get it oh well that's interesting i didn't i didn't know that i like

1:43:15 all right what else you got on the market crashes well well putin went to china i guess i got those

1:43:25 clips well of course he went to china because this is the arc america russia china we're gearing up

1:43:31 to kill the old world order the dying world order man

1:43:35 i do want to play uh we need to play that but i also want to play the china listening devices clip

1:43:44 OK, here we go. Before a single American boarded Air Force one to leave Beijing, staff lined up at the door with trash bins and everything China had given the U.S. delegation went straight into them.

1:43:56 Credentials, burner phones, delegation pins, lanyards, anything and everything handed out by Chinese officials during the summit.

1:44:04 A pool reporter on the scene watched it happen in real time and reported nothing from China was allowed on the plane, not a phone, not a pin, not a piece of paper.

1:44:14 let that image sink in for a moment. The most powerful delegation in the world just spent days

1:44:19 in Beijing negotiating hundreds of billions of dollars in deals, smiling for cameras,

1:44:24 shaking hands, sitting across the table from Xi Jinping. And the moment it was over,

1:44:29 every single item China had touched went into a trash bin on the tarmac. This is not an accident.

1:44:36 This is not overcaution. This is the United States government operating on a doctrine that has been

1:44:43 earned through decades of documented Chinese espionage. We already reported how the entire

1:44:49 delegation arrived with burner devices, no personal phones, no personal laptops. We reported

1:44:55 how U.S. federal guidelines prohibited plugging into any Chinese USB port or charging station.

1:45:01 We reported how every Wi-Fi network in China was treated as compromised. Now we know the protocols

1:45:08 held all the way to the last second on chinese soil because here is what china does they embed

1:45:14 tracking technology in delegation pins they install malware on phones through standard

1:45:20 charging cables they use hotel room key cards with embedded chips to map movement patterns

1:45:25 they slip listening devices into gift bags and commemorative items they have turned ordinary

1:45:31 objects into intelligence collection tools so effectively that american counterintelligence

1:45:36 agencies now treat every chinese origin item as a potential threat by default yeah

1:45:43 could i do yeah this is why megan kelly hates china so much

1:45:49 she's a spy on her no but she and um what's his face um uh glenn greenwald we're going on and on

1:46:00 and on and on and on about uh you know i have the clip as far as the students it's 500 000 students

1:46:07 they come good students uh wow i could tell them i don't want any students it's a very insulting

1:46:17 thing to say to a country they would then immediately go out and start building universities

1:46:23 all over china i frankly think that it's good that people come from other countries and they

1:46:28 learn our culture and many of them want to stay here oh glenn glenn who wants that literally what

1:46:36 american wants it was 300 000 chinese students like two months ago now it's 500 000 and he goes

1:46:45 on to say many of them will stay here we don't want that either we don't want them taking up

1:46:49 our university slots at our most prestigious universities and we definitely don't want them

1:46:52 staying nor do we want them buying up american farmland well there are some americans who

1:46:58 actually do want that particularly wall street and the corporate community they love the right

1:47:04 they're in bed with the chinese and always have been they were going on and on what i said please

1:47:11 yeah on and on and on about the chinese when i was a kid and i went to cal berkeley the place

1:47:17 was filled with chinese back then that was before the chinese took over the place yeah and bully for

1:47:24 them because the jobs are not going to be in university uh you're not going to need a piece of

1:47:31 of paper to get a really good job anymore

1:47:35 it's how are you going to get a good job well i will uh give you any uh here's from cnbc

1:47:45 Kyson's job doesn't require a four-year degree.

1:47:47 And as AI drives demand for data centers and the fiber networks that connect them,

1:47:53 AT&T CEO John Stinke told my colleague Steve Leisman in an exclusive interview

1:47:57 that the company needs more workers like Kyson.

1:48:00 You need something to transport all that traffic that has to get in and out of those data centers,

1:48:05 and that's fiber infrastructure.

1:48:06 And we're building fiber right now faster than anybody else in this country

1:48:10 that's going to be essential to the AI generation.

1:48:12 We brought in probably 10,000 technicians over the last three years that are the front side of this, trying to make sure everybody's connected and has access to our fiber and wireless networks.

1:48:23 Fiber.

1:48:24 We'll do a 3,000 this year.

1:48:26 We find that we've got to go out and find them, train them, and send them to come in.

1:48:30 It's not like we're growing them on trees in the United States.

1:48:33 It sounds like you're saying there's sort of a misalignment between what the structure is to provide and train employees and what business, especially AT&T, needs.

1:48:42 Yeah, I probably have a point of view personally that as a society and within the United States, we've put a huge premium in value socially on a college degree.

1:48:52 And yet we're short HVAC repair people.

1:48:55 We're short electricians, technicians that can go in and work on fiber like we talk about.

1:49:00 We maybe have missed the mark in some places.

1:49:03 Now listen to your Uncle Adam and Uncle John.

1:49:05 Don't go to college.

1:49:07 Whatever you do, don't go to college is another clip.

1:49:11 So when you got to college, what made you realize that it wasn't working?

1:49:14 Oh, this is some kid who dropped out. Smart.

1:49:16 Not for you.

1:49:16 Oh, I was miserable.

1:49:18 Kyson graduated high school with a 3.89 GPA.

1:49:22 Graduated from high school.

1:49:24 Way to go.

1:49:24 Oh, you're getting good grades. Go to school.

1:49:26 He immediately enrolled at Wright State University and planned to study either math or engineering.

1:49:32 I wanted to work with my hands, but it was hard because I did get good grades, so it was expected to go to school.

1:49:38 Once I started college, I was like, this is not for me.

1:49:42 After about three semesters, he dropped out.

1:49:45 I was in the same four walls every day.

1:49:47 Did not want to be there.

1:49:48 I wanted more for myself.

1:49:50 I was hungry to start life, and I felt like I was extremely stagnant.

1:49:54 I was in accounting.

1:49:55 I loved my professor.

1:49:56 I really do.

1:49:57 I mean, looking back, I feel bad, but there was a guy that was sitting behind me,

1:50:00 and we had just finished a midterm in the other class, and we both were, like, miserable.

1:50:05 I was like, you ready for accounting?

1:50:06 He said, nope.

1:50:08 I'm going to get lunch.

1:50:09 And I had never, ever, ever skipped class.

1:50:12 And I said, you know what?

1:50:13 I'm getting lunch with you.

1:50:15 And I knew, I was like, my priority is not school.

1:50:17 After Kyson left college, he worked a mix of odd jobs.

1:50:22 Retail, coaching wrestling, laying solar panels.

1:50:25 And he even rode bulls for a little while.

1:50:27 I woke up one morning and said, I'm spending so many hours working.

1:50:31 And I'm not making enough.

1:50:33 And I wanted a career.

1:50:34 I wanted to be somewhere where I could move.

1:50:38 up in the company at&t was familiar to kyson because his dad and grandfather worked there

1:50:43 but when he applied he didn't tell his father it's pride pride i didn't want any strings pulled

1:50:49 i wanted my voice to speak for itself i didn't want to be jason's son or cook's boy i wanted to

1:50:55 be kyson yeah i think it was a jobs program for at&t they bought time on cnbc but uh there's

1:51:02 there's hundreds of thousands of jobs that are going to go unfilled and let

1:51:08 all the Chinese go to the universities.

1:51:09 It's fine.

1:51:10 And the universities don't seem too high on AI these days.

1:51:16 Either you've heard the commencement speeches.

1:51:18 No,

1:51:20 I have not heard the commencement speech.

1:51:21 You don't,

1:51:22 this is a,

1:51:23 here's Gloria.

1:51:24 Well,

1:51:24 there's a lot of them and I'm still waiting to do a commencement speech so I

1:51:28 can become an honorary professor.

1:51:29 I mean,

1:51:30 they don't give you that.

1:51:32 They don't make you honorary professors.

1:51:34 They give you a fake Ph.D., but you can get that from the show if you wait long enough.

1:51:39 You can get it from no agenda.

1:51:41 Who needs to go to college?

1:51:42 Gloria Caulfield is a real estate person in Florida.

1:51:48 She spoke at UCF.

1:51:49 The rise of artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution.

1:52:01 Boo.

1:52:02 What happened?

1:52:05 What is happening?

1:52:06 All right.

1:52:08 Okay.

1:52:11 We've got a bipolar topic here, I see.

1:52:15 Yes.

1:52:16 She got booed.

1:52:17 There was somebody else that got booed off the stage recently.

1:52:20 Eric Schmidt.

1:52:20 Yeah, it was Eric Schmidt.

1:52:22 He pulled the same stunt.

1:52:24 Here it is.

1:52:25 Last December, Time magazine selected its person of the year for 2025.

1:52:31 And this time, it was the architects of artificial intelligence.

1:52:34 Interesting.

1:52:36 Get out of here!

1:52:39 You schmuck!

1:52:40 So today, we stand on this edge of another technological transformation,

1:52:46 one that will be larger, faster, and more consequential than what came before.

1:52:52 It will touch every profession, every classroom, every hospital, every laboratory,

1:53:00 Every person and every relationship you have, I know what many of you are feeling about that.

1:53:06 I can hear you.

1:53:07 There is a fear.

1:53:09 People were walking out on him, which he's not used to, that dude.

1:53:18 He's not used to that.

1:53:20 Eric Schmidt's done okay for himself.

1:53:25 Oh, he's done very well for himself.

1:53:27 It's fantastic.

1:53:28 I mean, I knew him when he was at Novell, and his personality has changed quite a bit.

1:53:40 His look's changed.

1:53:41 I think he did some work done.

1:53:43 Didn't he get a really young girlfriend slash wife?

1:53:47 He has a girlfriend, and he's still married.

1:53:50 He's one of those guys who can pull that off.

1:53:52 I don't know how he did that.

1:53:53 Magic.

1:53:54 Magic.

1:53:54 So he's obviously a sales guy underneath it all.

1:53:58 baby this is good for you trust me this is good for you so then we had um google io the big

1:54:07 presentation google io and google has seen the light google is going to create their own version

1:54:14 of claude bot but it doesn't run on your computer no no no it runs on google cloud i got a couple

1:54:20 of clips this is too funny particularly excited for what we are bringing right into the gym

1:54:25 Hey, if we're going to get rid of Indians, start with this guy.

1:54:28 Particularly excited for what we are bringing right into the Gemini app.

1:54:32 Introducing Gemini Spark.

1:54:35 Spark!

1:54:35 It's your...

1:54:36 Woo!

1:54:37 Come on, man, you used to be a tech reporter.

1:54:41 This should be exciting to you.

1:54:42 It's Gemini Spark.

1:54:44 I was always the tech reporter who was skeptical.

1:54:47 Well, I'm with you on this.

1:54:51 it's your personal ai agent that helps you navigate your digital life

1:54:55 what do you think it does when it helps you navigate your digital it probably sets your

1:55:02 calendar wakes you up in the morning and it looks at your your to-do list and then makes another

1:55:07 list for you that you won't get done and then it tells you that you have an appointment at two

1:55:12 o'clock on your behalf and under your direction it runs on dedicated virtual machines on google

1:55:20 cloud and it's 24 7 and yes you can close your laptop thanks sundar it's great to see everyone

1:55:27 and let me show you how spark works with all get ready john email your chats and grabs the most

1:55:34 important information that you need to spice step look at all these steps all the time it saves you

1:55:40 going through and again work across the various skills you can see creates right in google slides

1:55:45 perfectly integrated and you can see it even pulls in things like our giant bounce house

1:55:50 that's going to be in the cul-de-sac now all of this is the bounce house yeah this is you caught

1:55:57 it so the so the ai google spark is so smart it's going to do something very important with your

1:56:06 bounce house that you have planned for uh for your backyard in the cul-de-sac in the cul-de-sac

1:56:11 pulls in things like our giant bounce house that's going to be in the cul-de-sac now all of this is

1:56:17 happening in the background and under my control and what's amazing is jim and i can even go a step

1:56:23 further and pull out things like your neighborhood homeowners association won't let you set this up

1:56:29 before friday afternoon at june 5th that's pulling from a file in my google drive so it's incredibly

1:56:34 helpful about how it pulls it all together this is perhaps the lamest example you could ever come

1:56:42 up with because we all live on the cul-de-sac and we all have a giant bounce house but he has

1:56:48 and we all have a homeowners association that won't let you set up a bounce house

1:56:53 until five o'clock you need to move out of that homeowners association neighborhood

1:56:57 but here here's a more practical example and spark is amazing at just brain dumping things

1:57:03 on your mind if you're super busy it's almost you can just throw tasks over your shoulder it's super

1:57:09 busy man you can throw stuff over your shoulder i'm telling you listen to this if you're super

1:57:14 busy it's almost you can just throw tasks over your shoulder sparkle catch them and then run

1:57:19 with them okay so watch this watch start a few threads for me the first one find all the upcoming

1:57:26 meetings with sundar and turn them all hot pink so i don't miss them the second one last night i

1:57:32 met our new neighbor John, write a note to him and his family, invite them to our block party

1:57:36 because they weren't on our list originally. The third one, create a document with the top things

1:57:41 my wife and I need to do for the kids before the end of the school year. Categorize it by deadline

1:57:47 and priority. Make it easy to digest. I don't want to miss anything. All right, so we'll send that in

1:57:54 and you can see at the speed of my voice, it's taking that one task and it will capture all of

1:57:59 that context as fast as i can talk it starts out as a single thread here and in the background it's

1:58:05 actually going to go through and break those down into individual tasks now i can just put my phone

1:58:11 away and get on with my day and spark works in the background for me we'll check in later see how

1:58:17 it's doing wow how do you check in i don't know but it's gonna happen later yes wonderful wonderful

1:58:24 you can see this is one of the first times we've been able to put a phone down and let it keep

1:58:28 working on the ios stage it's great because we're prioritizing it's not on the phone it's no it's

1:58:35 no it's in the cloud so it's so you put your phone down you didn't put your phone down you

1:58:40 hit the phone with a hammer doesn't make any difference that's it's working in the cloud

1:58:43 it's in the cloud are they kidding oh you got to put your phone down now listen to what this is

1:58:50 going to cost in the future you'll be able to create new docs and edit them directly all with

1:58:55 your voice. DocsLive

1:58:57 is rolling out for pro and ultra subscribers

1:58:59 this summer, and the same

1:59:01 powerful voice capabilities will come

1:59:03 to Gmail and Google Keep then too.

1:59:05 Incredible to see the pace of

1:59:11 innovation rolling out across

1:59:13 our products. Supporting

1:59:15 all of this at scale for our users

1:59:17 while also serving enterprises

1:59:19 and developers around the world

1:59:21 requires massive investments in

1:59:23 infrastructure. And we've been

1:59:25 investing for today and for the future in 2022 we were spending 31 billion dollars annually in

1:59:31 capex this year we expect that number to be about six times that approximately 180 to 190 billion

1:59:40 dollars whoa 190 billion dollars on on on turning your emails pink in the cloud

1:59:51 this doesn't seem right that doesn't seem right this is not the future of computing

2:00:00 i can tell you that right now that's not how it's going to go down not with that kind of money that

2:00:06 is insane anyway it's all going to be on you well you know you i'm going to give you a borderline

2:00:15 Clip of the Day for having that

2:00:16 insanity on here.

2:00:17 You want to do something before we

2:00:23 thank some people?

2:00:24 Well, let me see if I got

2:00:26 one last clip here.

2:00:28 The Putin clips, but there's

2:00:31 nothing really important there.

2:00:32 The

2:00:35 Slush Fund clips, that's always

2:00:36 good for a laugh.

2:00:37 Elon Musk lost the lawsuit.

2:00:40 I'm just wrapping things up here for people.

2:00:42 The Slush Fund clip, I like

2:00:44 that because first of all everyone's categorizing it as a slush fund for trump's allies um it's a

2:00:53 very interesting uh deal that the president made with himself by setting up by saying okay i'll

2:01:01 drop my 10 billion dollar lawsuit for the irs spying on me which arguably is a big deal that

2:01:10 they spied or they they released his his documents yeah it was i mean that's a huge deal that that's

2:01:17 a i mean i wish it had happened to me i don't know if i get 10 billion but you get something

2:01:21 out of it if you have suits and boots on the case um and then he turns around and says well i'll do

2:01:28 a deal and let's get some money together for people who were who got screwed over got screwed

2:01:34 over and old grandmas that weren't even at the event they got thrown in jail this is a horrible

2:01:40 situation that nobody wants to discuss so two points one uh the actual amount of the fund is

2:01:48 1.776 billion dollars none of the news media really said that 1.8 no they did they did oh

2:01:55 they did well most of them were 1.8 1.8 1.8 no i heard 1776 not the predominant number

2:02:03 and the second thing i know two people personally whose lives were destroyed

2:02:08 the j6 or jenny she's hanging on by a thread you know she her whole life was destroyed

2:02:16 um she got run out of town she had a um i think a a salon and she was called a terrorist and her

2:02:27 her entire life was destroyed and so that's when well hopefully she will let's see if she gets

2:02:31 money well she should and also luke coffee luke is the guy who had the crutch over his head telling

2:02:37 everybody to pray and was arrested for apparently beating cops over the head with his crutch of

2:02:43 which there's no evidence his life was completely destroyed he's now producing lara logan's podcast

2:02:50 just give you an example of what happened to him wow so we want luke disaster we want luke to get

2:02:57 some money too absolutely absolutely so but that's not the way to get the money yeah but that's not

2:03:04 why yeah well unless we play okay i got three clips then we can play okay let's get them out

2:03:09 of the way this is the first one let's start with the grilling of senator todd blanch

2:03:13 senators get todd blanch over slush fund acting attorney general todd blanch face bipartisan

2:03:21 and backlash over the creation of the nearly two billion dollar fund the president has set up a

2:03:27 slush fund and he literally will get to choose through his hand-picked appointees who gets paid

2:03:33 that fund that is absurd the president did not let up set up this fund it's not a slush fund

2:03:39 ask repeatedly whether those who assaulted police officers on january 6 could be paid

2:03:45 blanche didn't rule it out do you feel they should get compensation after being convicted of violent

2:03:50 my feelings don't don't matter senator in my mind my mind is not limiting to um to say this yes i

2:03:57 will commit to this or that at the white house the vice president was pressed on the same issue

2:04:01 we're not trying to give money to anybody who attacked a police officer we're trying to

2:04:06 compensate people where the book was thrown at them they were mistreated by the legal system

2:04:12 the fund was established after president trump dropped his 10 billion dollar lawsuit against

2:04:16 the IRS over the leak of his tax returns. As part of the settlement, the DOJ said today the IRS is

2:04:22 forever barred from prosecuting past or existing audits into the president, his family and the

2:04:29 Trump organization. Do you believe those terms are fair? I think that there are and will be

2:04:34 continue to be a lot of questions around that. Tonight, some of the police officers who defended

2:04:41 the capitol on january 6th tell me if this new anti-weaponization fund is used to pay those who

2:04:47 committed the attack it's quote insane and could jeopardize their safety tony yeah well then let's

2:04:56 take it to these clips which discuss a little bit about the doj irs situation this doj irs forever

2:05:03 banned from auditing trump tonight in an extraordinary move the justice department

2:05:08 declared the IRS is, quote, forever barred and precluded from auditing President Trump,

2:05:14 his family, his oldest sons, and their companies, or pursuing any claims for past actions.

2:05:20 It's part of the unprecedented settlement after President Trump dropped his $10 billion lawsuit

2:05:26 against the IRS. The deal was orchestrated by the head of the DOJ, Acting Attorney General Todd

2:05:32 blanche who is trump's former personal attorney blanche faced tough questions on capitol hill

2:05:38 today you're the president's consigliere your perspective is completely wrong well i think the

2:05:44 facts will prove me right the president's settlement also creates a nearly 1.8 billion

2:05:49 dollar fund taxpayer money to pay for trump allies or anyone else who claims they were mistreated by

2:05:56 the biden justice department i love all the little gotchas in there tax taxpayer money slush fund

2:06:03 allies it's a group that includes the roughly 600 people charged with obstructing or assaulting

2:06:10 police on january 6th individual police bullcrap i don't know but they just bring all that back

2:06:18 they bring it all back police on january 6th will individuals who assaulted capitol hill police

2:06:25 officers be eligible for this fund well as it makes plain anybody is just let me know if they're

2:06:31 eligible for the fund anybody in this country is eligible to apply if they believe they were

2:06:37 victim weaponization i think uh this show is a victim of this weaponization because we had to

2:06:45 speak speak against we had to speak truth to power and we were telling everybody that no that's not

2:06:51 true and people left in a huff and i think it it hurt our income and i think we should put in a

2:06:56 claim talk to rob at the white house i followed up with vice president jd vance i assume you're

2:07:06 not going to apply you don't think you should get money out of this of course so isn't it just as

2:07:10 easy to say that people that attacked police officers should not get taxpayer money from this

2:07:15 fund well look john we're not trying to give money to anybody who attacked a police officer

2:07:20 we're trying to give money not give money we're trying to compensate give money where the book

2:07:26 was thrown at them they were he screwed up there we're trying to give money i mean not give money

2:07:30 compensate trying to give money to anybody who attacked a police officer we're trying to give

2:07:35 money not give money we're trying to compensate people where the book was thrown at them they

2:07:40 were mistreated by the legal system we do have people who were accused of attacking law enforcement

2:07:45 officers that does that that that that doesn't that doesn't mean that we're going to completely

2:07:51 ignore some of the claims that they're going to make it's a very complex building comes as

2:07:54 republicans are trying to set aside another one billion dollars in taxpayer money for president

2:08:00 trump's new ballroom they say it's for security back to that 1.8 billion dollar fund some of

2:08:07 which could go to people who attacked uh january the capitol building on january 6th it's not just

2:08:13 democrats who don't like it senate republican leader john thune said today quote i am not a

2:08:19 big fan yes here's the president himself explaining the fund but this is uh reimbursing people that

2:08:26 were horribly treated horribly treated it's anti-weaponization they've been weaponized

2:08:31 they've been in some cases imprisoned wrongly they paid legal fees that they didn't have they've

2:08:36 gone bankrupt their lives have been destroyed and they turn out to be right i mean it's uh

2:08:42 It was a terrible period of time in the history of our country, and they worked on it.

2:08:46 I know the Justice Department, it's really been working on it very hard.

2:08:50 There's been numerous other occasions over the years where things like this have been done,

2:08:54 but these were people that were weaponized and really treated brutally by a system that was so corrupt,

2:09:00 with corrupt people running it, and they're getting reimbursed for their legal fees

2:09:05 and the other things that they had to suffer.

2:09:07 Yeah, please.

2:09:08 Yeah, I got to tell you.

2:09:11 I mean, I've seen the damage that that did, and I'd like to see J6 or Jenny and Luke get some money out of it.

2:09:17 Well, let's hope they do.

2:09:19 Let's hope they put a claim in.

2:09:21 Oh, well, I know Luke has a claim.

2:09:23 I got to talk to Jenny about it.

2:09:25 Yeah, make sure she does it.

2:09:27 Yeah.

2:09:27 Maybe Rob should help them.

2:09:31 No, that was part two.

2:09:32 That was your part two.

2:09:33 Oh, okay.

2:09:33 I have a part three, which is Comey.

2:09:37 Former FBI Director James Comey faces trial later this summer on charges

2:09:41 he threatened President Trump's life. The case stems from this Instagram post a year ago,

2:09:46 a photo of Shell spelling out 8647. Prosecutors say the slang term 86 meant intent to do harm

2:09:53 to Mr. Trump, the 47th president. It is the second indictment against the former FBI director in one

2:09:59 of several investigations and lawsuits involving people President Trump sees as his political

2:10:05 enemies. Comey also has a new crime novel out, Red Verdict. It's a legal thriller centered on

2:10:10 russian espionage i spoke with him earlier today former fbi director james comey welcome to the

2:10:16 news hour it's great to be with you yeah i want to start with your reaction to this doj announcement

2:10:21 today the department says it's creating a nearly 1.8 billion dollar fund taxpayer money to compensate

2:10:28 trump allies who say they were unfairly targeted by the previous administration what what kind of

2:10:33 precedent does this set i've never heard of it and i first thought it was an onion piece when i

2:10:38 read about it i don't know how it will work and how it will be administered

2:10:43 kiddingly want to know do i do i get to apply do all victims of weaponization get to ask for

2:10:50 attorney's fees we'll have to see would you submit a claim i might maybe just to be humorous about

2:10:57 the whole thing but if it's for people who've been targeted for reasons other than the normal

2:11:02 standards of the Department of Justice,

2:11:04 I'm ready to get in line.

2:11:06 Now you're going to have to look

2:11:08 this clip up. This clip is called

2:11:10 Comey on Trump, January 2021.

2:11:12 Comey on

2:11:14 Trump.

2:11:15 Let me set it up.

2:11:18 I don't see it, John.

2:11:19 Is it Comey on Trump?

2:11:22 Yeah, C-O-M-E-Y

2:11:24 on Trump is the name of it.

2:11:26 I'm not seeing it.

2:11:29 It's from three weeks ago.

2:11:30 I believe you, but I don't have any Comey on Trump.

2:11:38 Comey on MSNBC about Trump?

2:11:42 No, it says Comey.

2:11:43 Well, that actually might be the same clip.

2:11:47 What are the principal points of danger within the Justice Department

2:11:51 if there's another Trump presidency, given his nature, given what you know about him?

2:11:56 He is a threat to the rule of law in America.

2:12:00 That's to me. That's what this election is about. It's not about policy differences. It's about what kind of country are we going to be if he has the ability smarter than he was last time to use the power of the Department of Justice and the FBI to target his enemies, especially the rule of law in America will change in a way we haven't seen in our lifetime.

2:12:18 When you say target his enemies, how would he do that?

2:12:20 Well, I think the first thing he would do is he would express it in his first term as a wish.

2:12:25 I want people to go after so-and-so.

2:12:27 I want people to go after Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the FBI.

2:12:31 In his second term, he would go a step further, I'm highly confident, and say, I want him criminally investigated.

2:12:37 And he would have, he was close to the bottom of the barrel.

2:12:40 That's not it?

2:12:41 No, it's too much you can't find it because it is in the pile.

2:12:47 let me see make sure yeah it says comey c-o-m-e-y oh well um i'm sorry anyway in 2021 he was

2:12:55 the worst oh i got it i found it i found it this is okay let me tell you what this clip is this is

2:13:00 this is an example of pre this is an example of uh of using the justice department as a weapon

2:13:09 convict him bar him from future service have the prosecutors the local prosecutors in new york

2:13:15 pursue him for the fraudster that he was before he ever became president lock him up for the

2:13:22 garden variety florons he did there but don't give him that center stage that dominant role

2:13:28 in our national life just down the street where joe biden is trying to heal this nation

2:13:33 yeah yeah lock him up lock him up yeah yeah that's that's reasonable it's also fake and gay

2:13:44 the guys are creep i mean i think that they're this thing about the 86 47 is a bit much but

2:13:50 you know they're they're sending a message and with that as it is a value for value program

2:13:57 where we i haven't heard an ad in the past two hours have you heard it now you haven't heard

2:14:01 any ads no that's because we have chosen a different path and i would like to thank you

2:14:08 John C. Dvorak. For your courage, you are

2:14:10 the man who put the sea in the

2:14:12 Castro indictment.

2:14:14 Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend, the other

2:14:16 and the one, the only, Mr. John

2:14:18 C. Dvorak!

2:14:20 Well, good morning to you, Mr. Adam Cray.

2:14:22 And good morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground

2:14:24 feeding the air, subs in the water, and all the

2:14:26 dames and knights. And good morning to the trolls in the troll room.

2:14:28 Let me cast you for a second.

2:14:29 13-29.

2:14:34 It's vacation

2:14:36 time.

2:14:38 It's a holiday coming up.

2:14:39 Yep, holiday coming up.

2:14:41 It's how it always rolls.

2:14:42 That's what happens.

2:14:43 And, of course, we have VBS, which I just learned today is a thing.

2:14:47 VBS.

2:14:47 What?

2:14:48 VBS?

2:14:49 VBS, yes.

2:14:50 Vacation Bible School.

2:14:51 I had no idea.

2:14:52 People are in VBS.

2:14:54 Vacation Bible School.

2:14:56 Why don't you just go to, okay.

2:15:00 Why don't you just go to what?

2:15:01 Bible School.

2:15:03 No, it's Vacation Bible School.

2:15:05 What's the difference?

2:15:06 You go to it on vacation.

2:15:08 well why don't you just go to it well maybe they do but then they do it during their vacation too

2:15:13 i don't know i'm just telling you that people are out because of vbs is what i'm hearing like

2:15:19 i can't make a man vbs i don't know so as i said before we are value for value operated

2:15:26 which means we uh we only ask you to send us some value when you feel you have received value from

2:15:34 the program now i'm let's see the people are already trying it's typically in the summer man

2:15:39 i'm telling you people have not been able to do meetings with me because their kids are in vbs

2:15:43 i don't know or they're teaching vbs so value for value we started this over 18 years ago we

2:15:50 think that it's the best way to run an honest podcast particularly when it is regarding news

2:15:57 and current events and culture and politics.

2:16:00 So you get the true honesty from us.

2:16:03 And it shows because a lot of people get mad and go away

2:16:08 and we just keep doing the same thing.

2:16:10 And so if donations are down,

2:16:12 that's just because you didn't feel

2:16:14 that you got any value from it.

2:16:15 But it turns out a lot of people continue

2:16:18 to find value in our analysis.

2:16:19 And you can support us with your time,

2:16:21 your talent, or your treasure.

2:16:23 We thank everybody who supports us financially

2:16:26 with $50 or above and that is a wonderful way to show value to return the value that you got from

2:16:33 the program or you can do things like i don't know uh prompt away make some artwork and this

2:16:39 is valuable for a couple of reasons um not only is a good piece of art valuable for us to use

2:16:46 to promote the show as the album art but also it tells us what's hitting a nerve when you know or

2:16:53 when when we did something that you liked that you found very valuable and it was fun to watch

2:16:58 fun to see uh well first we should probably thank uh thank the person whose art we actually used

2:17:04 and that was for our episode 1869 we titled that trollery uh this was controversial on the on the

2:17:12 inside of the program uh i wasn't too sure about it blue acorn created a curry and dvorak choke

2:17:19 me chili cook-off with with the the og catholic in action the pope with his little cia hat and his

2:17:27 cia insignia and two babes making the chili john wanted it and i succumbed to it but it was fun to

2:17:36 see people really picking up on dead mice mice being mutilated in in glue traps the blueberry

2:17:45 got a lot of traction a lot of blueberry art for some reason was interesting and what else did we

2:17:51 see john uh just nothing good we had uh no you know what it's like there's these new models that

2:18:04 people are using and again they're over complicating things it's too much it's just it's too busy

2:18:11 is too much going on i'm not even sure if we see anything fantastic yet and so it's now it's all

2:18:17 babes see this is what happens this is this i should have mentioned this to you when you when

2:18:22 you choose a piece of art with babes then everyone thinks oh yeah that's how that's how i'll get my

2:18:27 art chosen need to do more babes yeah which we don't do babes that much i'm looking at the last

2:18:33 few pieces um how many how many you have babes what the first one two skip three no the numb

2:18:45 nuts has no babes oh no but i'm saying since we chose babes on the past oh no yeah i'm talking

2:18:51 about look at that are actually picked with babes yeah but we have numb nuts and we have a mouse i

2:18:56 know but then we have once you do a shoe with mice all over a black and white cartoony thing and then

2:19:02 and a bunch of pills that show insanity.

2:19:05 I'd say once a month.

2:19:09 I know, but the psyche of Gitmo Nation, our producers, is,

2:19:14 oh, babes, I just need to do babes.

2:19:16 I think this is the way it is with everything.

2:19:19 It's like it's follow the leader.

2:19:21 Oh, well, that worked then.

2:19:23 Let's do it again.

2:19:24 Probably right.

2:19:26 So, yeah, that's probably not going to work this time.

2:19:31 but thank you very much no babes no no two in a row babes no definitely not thank you very much

2:21:57 I still have to do these balancing exercises.

2:22:02 I should take Tai Chi.

2:22:05 I'm told by my physical therapist.

2:22:07 Is it like a sobriety test where you have to stand on one leg and touch your finger to your nose?

2:22:11 If I have to do that, yeah, I wouldn't.

2:22:12 I'd probably have some issues with some of the crazy stuff that cops make you do.

2:22:16 Have you driven your car?

2:22:17 Are you allowed to drive a car?

2:22:18 Yeah, I've driven.

2:22:18 Yeah?

2:22:29 And he says, gentlemen, to add to John's tip of the day about the stirrup hoe, I own multiple.

2:22:34 The best way to use it is to—this is a tip.

2:22:38 The best way to use it is to sever the roots from the greenery about half an inch below the surface.

2:22:44 That way, it will not regrow.

2:22:46 The wheel stirrup hoe is the most effective.

2:22:49 But as of recent, True Temper has a 14-inch mini hoe that has done wonders for close-in-hand weeding in my world.

2:22:59 It's like a six-shooter for weeds.

2:23:01 What other podcast gives you this kind of information?

2:32:12 Not very often at all.

2:32:14 We do have a make good from Nick Delacroce, your favorite.

2:32:18 It's a make good note, but it's not really.

2:32:20 What does that mean?

2:32:21 As you read it, you can read it and you'll see what I'm talking about.

2:32:24 Should I not read it?

2:32:25 No, you should read it.

2:32:26 Okay, I'm going to read it.

2:32:28 I'm reading it.

2:32:30 Oh, you want me to read it out loud?

2:32:31 Oh, okay.

2:32:34 Nick Della Croce.

2:32:34 No, I just read it.

2:32:35 We're good.

2:32:36 Yeah.

2:32:37 Nick Della Croce, my recurring monthly donations have officially brought me to associate executive producer.

2:32:42 I found the show after Adam's Joe Rogan appearance during COVID, and I've been a religious listener ever since I was graduating college when I started tuning in.

2:32:49 And honestly, you two changed the trajectory of my life.

2:32:52 Wow.

2:32:53 I'm very grateful I stumbled onto No Agenda at that point in my life.

2:32:56 Adam, my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of meeting you at a meetup in Fredericksburg.

2:33:00 I know exactly who this is.

2:33:01 A few months ago.

2:33:02 After chatting together, you looked at us and said, you two need to get married.

2:33:06 You're a really good thing going on there or something like that.

2:33:09 My girlfriend's exact words afterward, wow, he's so tall and so handsome for his age.

2:33:16 See, this girl is a keeper.

2:33:18 John, you're the goat.

2:33:20 My girlfriend also finds you absolutely hilarious.

2:33:22 Laugh a little too hard at your jokes, if I'm being honest.

2:33:26 You two both keep me sane and thinking clearly.

2:33:28 Thank you for everything you do, show after show.

2:33:31 Please call up my father, Vince Della Croce, as a douchebag.

2:39:58 Hey, time for the tip of the day.

2:40:00 Great advice for you and me.

2:40:03 Just the tip with JCB.

2:40:06 And sometimes Adam.

2:40:08 All right, so this is kind of a, it has a double effect because it also plugs a veteran's operation, veteran owned.

2:40:16 Very nice.

2:40:17 Half Blind Rabbits, the name of the company.

2:40:20 And they make something called Screw Lube 2.

2:40:25 I'm sorry, screw lube, and it's a two-ounce wood screw container of screw lube for screws that's better than beeswax.

2:40:35 It's better than soap.

2:40:36 It's good for if you've got like a three- or four-inch screw that you've got to put into some wood.

2:40:41 You want screw lube, wood screw lubricant from Half Blind Rabbit, and you can find it on Amazon.

2:40:49 It's about $9, and it's a superior product.

2:40:52 It's something everyone should have for their—the pros use it.

2:40:56 I have—I've screwed a lot.

2:40:58 I cannot ever recall using screw lube.

2:41:03 Is that something you're supposed to use for screwing?

2:41:05 If you're going into wood, yeah.

2:41:08 And if you're going—say you've got more than an inch or two inches.

2:41:12 Say you've got to go in two inches.

2:41:13 You have to back it off and push it back in and back it off.

2:41:16 No, you just use this stuff.

2:41:18 It goes straight through.

2:41:19 and it doesn't stain, and it doesn't cause issues,

2:41:22 it doesn't cause problems.

2:41:23 Yeah, you're supposed to use screw lube.

2:41:26 I can hear about five end-of-show mixes

2:41:28 coming from this very conversation.

2:41:30 Give me the name of the product again, John,

2:41:32 so people can go find that.

2:41:34 Screw lube.

2:41:34 Screw lube, everybody.

2:41:36 There you go.

2:41:36 Another fine tip from John C. Dvorak.

2:41:38 Find them all at noagendafun.com.

2:41:40 Great advice for you and me.

2:41:43 Just a tip with JCB.

2:41:49 Created by Dana Burnetti.

2:41:50 There you go, everybody.

2:41:53 I am off to the races after this production ends.

2:41:57 We're on our way to Austin and on our way to Nashville.

2:42:01 Look out, Nashville.

2:42:02 We're coming your way.

2:42:04 And even though I'm out there having a good time at the festival,

2:42:09 I will be ripping myself away from my wife and friends to do this podcast for you on Sunday.

2:42:16 And I look forward to it because I love doing this show.

2:42:19 Do you love doing the show, John?

2:42:21 Yes, and that's why, according to Elon Musk, the show is so good.

2:42:25 Elon Musk said that?

2:42:27 I'll clip it.

2:42:30 He's going on about how some of his cars are good because they're made with love

2:42:34 and love comes across to the eventual customer and they think it's great because of that.

2:42:41 If you hate doing the show, it would come across as hate.

2:42:44 Oh, no.

2:42:45 It's all about the love, baby.

2:42:47 Yeah, there you go.

2:42:48 Up next on the No Agenda stream and in your modern podcast app,

2:43:37 Everybody was harm to fighting, viruses fast as lightning.

2:43:45 In fact, it wasn't really that frightening, but it spread with expert timing.

2:43:55 There were tiny little mice on a funky cruising boat.

2:44:02 They were stirring it up, they were spreading it around.

2:44:07 It's a viral little threat, so everybody do your best.

2:44:12 Don't eat the droppings off the floor and spread it a little more.

2:44:17 Everybody was haunted by it.

2:45:47 Rubio's diplomatic smooth as Florida sand

2:45:52 Vance is from the hills with that hillbilly fighting brand

2:45:57 Trump tweets the results, you're hired or you're fired, troll

2:47:07 Trump TV, 2028, stay tuned for this election.

2:47:12 I-T-M, everybody, connection is protection.

2:47:18 There's a woody mystery waking us up.

2:47:26 A sudden sensation, we can't really stop

2:47:31 It bypasses logic, it bypasses brain

2:47:36 A wild momentum that's hard to explain

2:47:41 The world tries to hide it, but nature prevails

2:47:47 In locker room stories and locker room tales

2:47:53 Caught in a sudden romance

2:47:57 We know that it's physically magic

2:48:02 Someday we'll find it

2:48:05 The erection connection

2:48:07 The horny, the hopeful, and me

2:48:12 It starts with a fondle

2:48:16 A spark in the dark

2:48:19 the biological walk in the park from morning till evening the energy grows and where it will lead us

2:48:32 everybody knows an unstoppable force that is ready to climb it happens to everyone time after time

2:48:46 Caught in a sudden romance

2:48:50 We know that it's physically magic

2:48:55 Someday we'll find it

2:48:58 The erection connection

2:49:00 The horny, the hopeful, and me

2:49:05 Take some no agenda wisdom, dear

2:49:09 You have to learn to laugh at fear

2:49:14 and then it will all become clear there was never anything to even be afraid of

2:49:22 all that stuff they just made it up stop corrupting your mind stop wasting your time and listen to

2:49:29 no agenda

2:49:30 more than a podcast it's a philosophy and it's just like it ought to be how many shots until

2:49:40 you see how many mask ups will it take to wake you up to see that being woke is a practical joke

2:49:47 a backroom bank a cigar smoking cane tapping blokes and you're the punchline

2:49:52 value for value see works itself out naturally as far as who should and who should not be listening

2:50:04 And those who should do

2:50:06 And they give time and treasure

2:50:08 To come to conclude

2:50:10 That giving to like-minded people

2:50:15 Feels good too

2:50:16 That's true

2:50:18 The best podcast in the universe
