2:01 All right, we're going to do a screen test with you, Scott.

2:04 And the way we like to do that here at WHTV is we like to put you right out there

2:12 and get you in front of the crowd and let's see what your ratings are.

2:16 And I don't think, well, I'll have to look at it after the show.

2:20 I don't know if this is his gig.

2:23 No, he's too glib.

2:26 The thing about Vance is he's very pleasant.

2:33 He's kind of like wants to be liked.

2:35 Yeah.

2:36 Vance is gay.

2:38 What?

2:40 Gay guys can be funny and entertaining.

2:44 in fact after gay comics may yes see right away your your network got shut off because you uh

2:53 you said the g word you're back yeah here's what happened this is the network that did that just

3:00 just disconnected yeah so then i went back to the other one and then you were bitching because it

3:06 doesn't work and so i'm back on it again but this happened once before yeah yeah a couple months ago

3:14 I can recall this happening a lot.

3:16 In the history of the show, it has happened many, many, many, many times.

3:20 No, I'm talking about the specific, specific thing.

3:23 Yes.

3:24 But considering you're in Silicon Valley's backyard, you would think that you could get...

3:30 No, well, that's because it's overused.

3:31 Everybody's on the...

3:32 Everyone's on the networks.

3:34 Everyone's on the AI.

3:35 Oh!

3:35 I'd be better off in Iowa.

3:37 All for...

3:38 Yes, the quad screen is finally filled up with General Scott Besant.

3:42 Oh, yeah.

3:44 You want to put him on?

3:45 Yeah, I could probably do that.

3:46 Let's see.

3:47 You know he's not going to be any good.

3:51 Yes, you do.

3:53 Let's see.

3:54 TV dot.

3:55 He's too halting.

3:56 Halting is his style.

3:58 Yeah, but it's not a great style.

4:01 No, it's not.

4:03 Again, as I said before, you cut off.

4:06 It would be great if he did campy gay stuff.

4:08 Yeah, he's not going to do that.

4:10 That would be fantastic.

4:11 Let's see what he has to say.

4:12 Come on in, General.

4:13 on the other side of this, that gasoline prices will follow.

4:17 Is there an agreement on the table?

4:18 Oh, they're running the table with him.

4:21 The teams have been going back and forth,

4:24 and President Trump has made it very clear,

4:27 he talked about it at the Cabinet meeting.

4:28 He's wearing a blue swatch watch.

4:32 Wrong.

4:32 Iran has to turn over their highly enriched uranium.

4:36 They cannot pursue an nuclear weapon.

4:38 And the Strait of Hormuz.

4:40 Your question of energy has to free transit.

4:44 Oh, he's dying.

4:44 Navigation of the seas has to be free transit as it was before.

4:48 He can't do it.

4:49 He's not going to take a bad deal.

4:50 Of course not.

4:51 We knew this before he started.

4:53 Oh, now they're going nuts.

4:57 Piling on.

5:09 Well, again, as Treasury Secretary, I have two mandates for U.S. currency.

5:15 Oh, he's dying a thousand deaths.

5:16 By the way, I just noticed he has this, his mouth in an odd way resembles that of Elizabeth Warren.

5:27 I have to see pictures now.

5:31 You've got to take a look at it.

5:32 Trump could be.

5:34 Oh, he's boring.

8:18 how it's changed production how it's changed our lives how it's changed the art how it's changed

8:24 the end of show mixes one of our producers reminded me you know ebola we've ebola has been

11:42 and it's likely larger than documented.

14:23 Virginia's Washington Dulles and Hartsfield Jackson in Atlanta, for U.S. citizens who have

14:28 been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan in the last three weeks.

14:33 Non-Americans are currently banned from entering the country if they've recently traveled to those

14:39 areas. Ebola is suspected to have killed more than 200 people, and international aid groups

14:45 say this outbreak could become the deadliest on record a dire scene in the eastern congo a baby

14:52 born to a mother infected with ebola dying from the disease health officials warning the outbreak

14:59 is spreading faster than responders can contain it yeah one american aid worker in the region that's

15:05 that's the uh that's the the the talking point there the talking point faster than they can

15:10 contain it. From the disease. Health officials warning the outbreak is spreading faster than

15:16 responders can contain it. One American aid worker in the region telling us doctors are already

15:22 stretched thin. Right now we're working 14, 16 hour days, six, seven days a week. We're trying

15:39 with airport ebola screenings as millions of soccer fans are expected to travel to the u.s

15:44 in less than three weeks for the world cup but the cdc insists that the risk of spreading ebola

15:51 here in the u.s remains low so that was they always have this little kicker at the end yeah

15:56 every one of these reports so i'd say the um i'd say this is uh of course it's abc so it's

16:03 mainstream media all of them including fox are like democrats hey man if we can't screw up trump

16:10 in the midterms let's at least screw up world soccer yeah that's all they want let's want to

16:19 screw stuff up yeah they like to screw stuff up i do they do they're doing a good job i think

16:26 they're doing a wonderful job of it yes oh man the funny thing is is that no one's ever upset

16:36 about this no one's ever upset about these things about this this psyop epstein files okay yeah

16:45 yeah epstein files yeah yeah since we're gonna change topics i have a little interregnum here

16:56 Oh, you're using the interregnum term. This is something new. President Trump is an interregnum in the liberal world order, so you've been affected with the new world order, liberal world order talking point, interregnum.

17:12 I was unaware of this problem.

17:16 I've never heard you use this word.

17:20 Well, it's a good word.

17:22 No, it's not.

17:23 It's not a great word.

17:24 It's not a good word.

17:25 And I should say, I should use, what was the foodie term when you had the little piece of...

17:29 Entremont.

17:29 An entremont.

17:30 An entremont.

17:31 Entremont.

17:31 You have a piece of sherbert.

17:34 You have like a small spoonful of sherbert.

17:38 Sorbet.

17:38 I'm sorry, sorbet.

17:40 Chef has specially prepared this for you and for you only here at the table.

17:44 Here you go.

17:46 It's one spoonful.

17:47 What is an interregnum?

17:49 No, just the thing in between, you know.

17:51 No, I don't think that's true.

17:53 Yes, it's a moment of in-between-ness.

17:57 Do you mind if I ask the book of knowledge for a second?

17:59 Go ahead, ask.

18:00 A book of knowledge.

18:01 Give me the definition of interregnum.

18:03 People like the book of knowledge.

18:07 Yeah, they do.

18:08 They do. Here we go.

18:09 According to the book of knowledge,

18:11 an interregnum is a period when normal government is suspended,

18:14 especially between successive reigns or regimes.

18:18 It derives from Latin meaning between kingdoms

18:21 and refers to any interval when there is no ruling authority

18:25 or a temporary gap in leadership.

18:27 Ha, thus.

18:29 Yeah, exactly what I said.

18:30 No, it's not at all what you said.

18:33 You used it completely.

18:33 Yeah, it's an in-between.

18:34 It's specifically in-between kingdoms.

18:38 Yeah, kingdoms of our eclipse.

18:41 Oh, okay.

18:42 Hey, I think I learned something.

18:43 Thank you, Book of Knowledge.

18:44 I learned something here.

18:46 Somebody said, hey, man, you're going to open source that?

18:50 No.

18:51 have every

18:53 stupid podcast in the world using

18:55 our book of knowledge? No. No way.

18:57 No.

18:57 I spent hours on that.

19:00 All right.

19:03 Interregnum. I love, it's even

19:05 better now when they say it about

19:07 Trump. Interregnum, in between

19:09 kingdoms. So he is by definition

19:11 not a king. No, not

19:13 a king. Oh, not a king. By definition

19:15 an interregnum, he's not a king.

19:17 It's in between kingdoms.

19:18 That's a good point. I'm just saying. I think you

19:21 got it you got it you've got a point there you can slam home as the next uh city council meeting

19:27 okay so i don't know what that has to do with it but thanks here we go this is from 19 this

19:34 19 mid-1960s about 65 i believe a little dialogue on the series dragnet a tv show with jack webb

19:44 Great show.

19:45 Is that the dum-da-dum-dum?

19:48 Yep.

19:48 Dum-da-dum-dum-dum.

19:50 Dum-da-dum-dum-dum.

19:52 Dum-dum-dum-dum.

19:53 We've been smoking marijuana.

19:54 Marijuana is illegal, I know that.

19:56 That's right.

19:57 For now.

19:58 In a couple of years, things may change.

20:00 When all the kids grow up and start wearing ties and going to the polls,

20:03 marijuana is going to be like liquor, packaged and taxed and sold right off the shelf.

20:07 I doubt it, Mr. Shipley.

20:09 Look, I don't mean to be disrespectful,

20:11 but it seems to me there must be better things for cops to do

20:13 than chase down wild rumors about something as innocent as marijuana.

20:16 Why don't you go after the big bad guys, the heroin peddlers?

20:20 I won't argue with you about them. They should be stopped.

20:23 That's right. We'd like to put them out of business. That's why we're here.

20:26 What do you mean?

20:26 We're trying to keep them from getting a new customer.

20:28 There's a big difference between marijuana and hard narcotics.

20:31 Yeah, but it's only a small step.

20:33 And everybody who takes a drink is going to be an alcoholic.

20:36 We know that's not true, don't we?

20:38 let's face it we're on opposite sides of the fence and there's nothing we can do about it

20:41 for you if there's a law against it it's wrong black and white i just don't see things that way

20:46 that's all well you ought to give it a try fella it might keep you out of jail maybe but we'll

20:50 change the law someday even though your friend here thinks we won't believe me it's a new world

20:55 your laws are as outdated as bustles laws are going to have to be changed to keep pace with

20:59 the new morality they'll change or we'll have to break them oh man the lear foundation was already

21:05 working in 1960 i don't think that was you think no no it seems unlikely was that is there a drag

21:13 net where they're talking about lgbtq this is this is there probably is you know i think somebody's

21:18 got to start data mining the old drag net shows this is kind of like the simpsons predictive yes

21:24 predictive programming that's very intro well of course it was the liberal media hippies who

21:30 were running the show back then even because then in the 70s we got uh all in the family and we know

21:37 that uh meathead was a dope smoker yeah so interesting well i i can't say that it's bad

21:46 but it's right down to the packaging and tax that's interesting yeah i know it was really

21:52 great that's pretty good i like that a lot hey you nailed it on uh on those teen takeovers

22:00 i have some bunch i had three clips of the teen takeovers and all not all of them but at least

22:07 two of them mentioned the idea that we've talked about which is that parents should be arrested

22:14 for these teen punks well yes i mean i i want to i have one or two clips myself i'd love to hear

22:20 yours because when i heard how these parents are acting in this regard i'm like yeah you're

22:24 probably right i only see two though there's another one i'll find it it's uh it's got a

22:30 different it's got the wrong title of course um what are we starting with let's start with the

22:35 uh oh there should be teen takeover 2 okay i'm i'm looking for teen takeover 1 but let's skip

22:43 Let's skip right to the Fox.

22:46 This is from Tampa, Florida.

22:47 This is the teen takeover of Fox 44.

22:50 Okay, so there's a new TikTok trend.

22:52 You know, takeovers, going into restaurants,

22:56 trashing places, meeting up, driving crazy.

23:01 Listen, that's not going to work in Polk County.

23:05 There's a whole lot of laws that not only hold juveniles responsible,

23:11 adults responsible, but parents responsible for your children's conduct to include juvenile

23:19 curfews. Now, summer's coming and we want the kids to have a good time and a fun time.

23:24 They worked hard in the school this year. We don't want them to start next year

23:29 with a criminal arrest record. But I'll guarantee you.

23:34 Who is this guy? He's a blowhard.

23:36 Is he from Dragnet? He's the cop.

23:39 It's Jack Webb pool, tearing up people's businesses, fighting in the streets.

23:48 We're going to lighten them up, all of them.

23:51 And then, Mom and Daddy, if you don't hold them accountable personally, make sure they're home when they need to be,

23:59 then we're going to come lock you up, too, or charge you civilly, depending on which laws we can plug in.

24:07 But parents, hold your children accountable so we don't have to.

24:11 We will hold them accountable if you make us, but then we're going to hold you accountable, too.

24:16 Think about that and then have a good summer.

24:20 Why don't why don't you marinate in that for a minute?

24:24 Yes, the Florida Florida law.

24:26 We're going to light them up.

24:27 What are you going to tase them?

24:28 That's what that's what they need.

24:30 They need to be tased.

24:31 Let me just throw an interregnum.

24:32 This is what happened in Chicago.

24:35 From day into the night, Memorial Day weekend closed out with more teen takeovers.

24:40 In Hyde Park, three people were shot and several arrested.

24:43 This is not just messing around in Chicago. We shoot you.

24:46 The past couple of years, the so-called teen trends have been a thorn in the side for police.

24:52 We need to do everything we can to put a stop to these events,

24:55 and that means giving the police all the tools that they could possibly bring to bear.

25:00 City Council's Public Safety Committee Chairman Alderman Brian Hopkins

25:03 has been trying to give police more tools like an earlier teen curfew but mayor brandon johnson

25:09 has been against it hopkin says as the teen trends continue more of his colleagues are supporting

25:15 curfews and other measures it's their voters that are calling them and demanding something be done

25:21 and it's chicago's police superintendent demanding something as well during a city club appearance

25:26 last week larry snelling says it's time to stop making excuses for the teenagers who participate

25:31 Here we go. And there has to be accountability. The failure here is that when we don't put

25:37 accountability on teenagers, because teenagers need it more than anybody. Which means having

25:42 the tools to make arrests. And there's a growing call from Snelling Alders and the mayor to make

25:47 parents accountable. Because the teen trends gain steam on social media, St. Savannah's youth

25:52 organizer Lamar Johnson says many parents are aware and even enabled their kids. The majority

25:58 of parents, not all, but majority

26:00 of these parents know exactly what

26:02 their teens are doing, know where they are,

26:04 Uber them, take them down there.

26:07 Alders are working on a

26:08 parent accountability ordinance that would hold

26:10 them responsible if they allow their children

26:13 to engage in criminal activity.

26:14 In addition, city council is working

26:16 on a social media ordinance that will allow

26:19 police to work with companies to

26:21 remove posts that could potentially

26:22 result in violent behavior.

26:24 Censorship. That's how it starts.

26:26 Yep. I agree.

26:29 Do you agree what?

26:30 That censorship, it shouldn't be done.

26:32 No, but that's how it started.

26:34 Oh, it's bad posts, bad posts.

26:36 Well, I don't have, I can't find a clip one for,

26:40 but this is part two of another series

26:42 where they talk about this.

26:43 Now, Chicago officials weighing targeting parents

26:47 with one representative.

26:47 It's the same lady.

26:48 Proposing charging parents of minors

26:51 arrested at teen takeovers

26:53 after the city's 10 p.m. curfew

26:55 with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

26:58 A Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a $2,500 fine and 364 days in jail.

27:05 This strategy of potentially charging parents.

27:06 That's three years.

27:07 Why don't they say three?

27:08 Hold on.

27:08 Why don't they say three years?

27:10 Let me hear it again.

27:11 And 364 days in jail.

27:14 That's one year.

27:15 It's not three years.

27:16 Oh, I'm sorry.

27:17 You're right.

27:18 Hello?

27:18 This strategy of potentially charging parents.

27:21 I'm doing math in my head inaccurately.

27:23 Yes.

27:23 I mean, you're almost Chad GPT accurate.

27:26 Jail.

27:27 This strategy of potentially charging parents, do you think it would be effective?

27:31 I think that it's a start.

27:33 We need to have a proactive approach from police, whereas they should be monitoring social media to establish where these meetups would be occurring.

27:42 Meetups? Wait a minute.

27:44 It's a meetup.

27:45 It's a meetup. All of a sudden it's a meetup.

27:47 To establish where these meetups would be occurring and place these officers accordingly.

27:53 One idea as desperation to rein in teen takeovers rose.

27:58 But there was stuff like this.

28:00 We had weird stuff going on as kids, and we'd all, hey, let's go meet up there, and we'd get all rowdy.

28:06 I mean, it's really social media that makes it happen.

28:10 Well, it's social media that is drawing more attention to it.

28:14 When I was a kidβ€”

28:15 Hey, here we go.

28:16 Okay.

28:18 You had sit-ins.

28:20 No, when I was a kid, and this was, I believe, was in the 60s, you'd go to the county fair in Pleasanton, Alameda County Fair.

28:30 And on 4th of July, you'd always go on the 4th of July.

28:34 They stopped showing the fireworks on the 4th of July because of this.

28:37 Every 4th of July, year after year after year, you could go to the 4th of July and there would be a teen takeover of the fair

28:47 were two rival gangs usually...

28:51 Yes, yes, gangs, absolutely.

28:52 Rival gangs would come in and start pounding each other.

28:56 No, no, no, they would rumble.

28:57 Yeah, they'd rumble.

29:00 This is, by the way, the movie, the musical...

29:05 West Side Story.

29:07 West Side Story.

29:08 The musical West Side Story was from this era.

29:12 And these kids would come in and you'd go just to watch it.

29:17 Of course you did.

29:18 It's going to be a rumble.

29:19 Because they never involved you.

29:21 They didn't come just randomly.

29:23 And they would just go after each other.

29:24 And they're doing it.

29:25 If you watch the latest videos that come out of these teen takeovers, which I think is an interesting, the fact that they've coined a term for it, teen takeover.

29:34 Yeah.

29:35 And they all use the same term, teen takeover.

29:37 When you see it, it's just two groups battling each other.

29:41 They're not really, you know, you see people holding their kid to the side and you see bystanders.

29:46 But they never do anything to the bystanders.

29:48 Do you remember during Obama, this was a great piece of history.

29:52 I probably don't have the clip.

29:54 During the Obama administration, there was an equivalent of kind of a teen takeover.

30:00 And this mom, this black mom, comes right up to her kid and grabs him by the ear.

30:07 And do you remember this?

30:09 Like, what are you doing here?

30:10 And she took, and it was...

30:12 Vaguely.

30:12 Everybody was covering this.

30:16 Mom, Tina, I wonder.

30:17 They might have a clip.

30:19 But anyway, so this is not a new phenomenon by any means.

30:23 No.

30:24 You said this is happening in restaurants, which I'm sure, you know, they used to be in public events.

30:30 Yeah.

30:31 And then when the cops would come, it's cops!

30:34 And then we'd all run.

30:35 Then we'd scatter.

30:36 Scatter.

30:37 Yeah, this has been going on for the last 50 years.

30:42 Longer, maybe longer.

30:44 Yeah, but I'm sure it goes back to the 20s and 30s and longer than that.

30:48 How about the gangs of New York?

30:50 Yeah, there you go.

30:51 Basically, teen takeovers.

30:53 Yeah.

30:54 Oh, well.

30:55 I like the parents who Uber their kids.

30:58 Hey, go ahead.

30:58 Go to the takeover.

30:59 Sounds like fun.

31:00 But this is leading to the arrest of parents, and I think this is the real trend that we're looking at.

31:07 It's the fuzz, man.

31:09 The fuzz.

31:10 Wow.

31:14 Oh, welcome to Boomer Agenda, everybody.

31:16 I still think it's great.

31:19 I think it's great that we know all these terms.

31:23 You could learn something from us.

31:24 Yeah, especially if you're a Zed.

31:27 You know, I went to a movie screening last night called Young Washington.

31:32 Is this one of those Christian films that you rush to?

31:37 It is, actually.

31:39 It was produced by the Wonder Network and distributed by Angel.

31:44 But it's more about they're releasing it on July 3rd, and it's more intended.

31:49 It's not like allβ€”in fact, if anything, there's a lot of blowing people up in this movie.

31:55 But it's interesting that you say that.

31:58 Why do you equate Young Washington with one of those Christian movies?

32:01 No, I think that's the only thing you go see nowadays.

32:04 In the theater? Yeah, probably.

32:05 But I realize how little I know of our own country's history.

32:13 i didn't really realize you suspect that this was accurate this movie yes yeah i think it was

32:19 pretty it was an idealized like you'd expect i would expect it to be idealized not really not

32:25 really is i mean here's in in short it shows that he wanted to be part of the british army this is

32:31 colonial virginia and he can't because he's just scum he's a colonist you know just go back to

32:37 your farm stupid boy and uh and then he um uh he gets an assignment which he was meant to fail at

32:48 to go and scout out some land in the ohio valley and then he finds the french

32:53 and i didn't really realize that the brits fought the french over the ohio valley

32:58 uh fighting the french over everything yeah but it's i'm telling you i felt like wow i'm pretty

33:05 stupid i didn't i didn't really feel that way these are details of history that very few people

33:10 would know one way or the other and it's not really that important in the scheme of things

33:14 and well how in today's world how washington came to be and why and you know how the uniforms were

33:19 chosen for the militia it was it wasn't it was like the prequel to star wars that's what it was

33:26 good and a lot of people getting blowed up it was it was yeah it was good i could do without the

33:32 violence oh really it's part of our history man that's who we are we're a violent warring people

33:43 we don't want to admit it but we are this is our roots we're good at it too by the way and we were

33:49 and in fact george washington was friends with the indian with indians in fact this is interesting

33:54 because earlier in the conversation you went on about how it'd be cool you didn't use the word

33:59 cool but you were implying it to tase these poor kids in the teen takeover come in there with

34:06 tasers and just electrocute all that which is a violent act well i've never seen anyone just shot

34:12 with one of these things they shake a lot well half the people just keep walking from what i've

34:16 seen of these taser videos but i didn't need more voltage i was only trying to extrapolate on what

34:22 the sheriff said about we're gonna light them up so i thought that maybe if you light them up that

34:26 means you're gonna electrify them i don't know but lighten them up anyway it's a good movie when it

34:32 comes out i recommend you go see it yeah i i haven't i've seen one movie at a theater in the

34:38 last five years and that's about it it was i watched my movies on the on the video on the video

34:45 oh really do you do you get your from blockbuster or where do you get your video i get it from uh i

34:51 get my videos from the tv this so uh let's play i got some screwball clips let's play whatever

34:58 dummies i was going to go into some real news we've done nothing but screwball but okay whatever

35:04 dummies what gas do plants absorb from the air oxygen what continent is brazilian brazil is in

35:12 latin america what continent is egypt in why are you asking me these questions well is this the

35:20 stupid show where these women are all

35:22 cute, and then you cut

35:24 four clips of that? I refuse.

35:25 They're very short. Okay.

35:27 No, wait, wait, stop. Okay,

35:29 now you know what it is.

35:31 Here's the man who just said, I haven't

35:34 been to the theater in five years. I don't go

35:36 to the movie theater. I sit at home

35:37 and watch these dipshits

35:39 on TikTok for hours,

35:41 and you probably emailed me a copy

35:44 of this, didn't you? I'm sure you did. I haven't looked

35:46 at your emails. No, I did not.

35:47 Because you hate this show so much.

35:50 This is the whatever podcast where this guy.

35:52 This is not a show.

35:52 This is not even a show.

35:53 This is dumb.

35:55 It's basically this guy.

35:57 Okay, let's just do a little background here.

35:59 This guy who's kind of an obnoxious character, but he has his moments.

36:05 He's good at mugging.

36:06 And he brings on OnlyFans girls and whores, basically.

36:13 And the difference is?

36:15 There's not much difference, it turns out.

36:18 But he brings them on, and then they talk about love and sex, and then he goes out of his way to prove that they're all idiots by asking the simplest of stupid questions, man-on-the-street version, and they can't answer anything.

36:35 Now, you know, his show is run as a live six-hour stream every day.

36:41 It's very hard to watch.

36:42 Which I'm sure you are just – you're like people who watch Candace Owens, you're like this for this show.

36:47 No, no, I can't watch the show because it's impossible.

36:49 Oh, the stream's coming on.

36:50 I can't wait for the stream.

36:51 You can say, oh, you can ridicule me all you want.

36:53 I'm going to.

36:54 You can mock me.

36:55 Yes.

36:55 You can do what you think is funny.

36:57 But I'll tell you right now, the show's not watchable.

37:00 So you can only get the clips from it.

37:02 You got to find someone who knows how to clip the show.

37:04 But the point where they ask these idiotic questions and then they can't answer the simplest of questions with some of the dumbest things you've ever heard in your life.

37:17 i think is amusing especially when these clips are just 54 seconds 30 seconds 47 i mean these

37:24 are short i'm not killing it with these with long boring clips i will in a moment i got long

37:31 boring clips coming up so so these are the whatever girls let's just play two i'll play

37:38 two of them no no no we're playing all four let's go okay go for it absorbed from the air

37:43 oxygen what continent is brazil in brazil is in latin america what continent is egypt in

37:53 why are you asking me these questions we spoke about we spoke about sorry egypt is where the

38:00 middle east what continent is japan in tokyo you are reiterating this there's no way what country

38:24 mona lisa oh why do i van gogh no i'm that's wrong no monet no i actually were you about to

38:30 saint monet who painted the mona lisa uh justin bieber so this is interesting because

38:39 you kind of put me down for saying that we should learn more about our history and here you are

38:47 with these oh you're throwing this this my single comment back at you very very i'm very sad by this

38:54 you should be i'm very sad this is pathetic especially since these are hard-working girls

41:15 please don't refer to people as homos what what species are we just humans then well we are humans

41:23 but what species are we what was i the first one how many states are in the usa 52

41:33 do you vote no okay good what is the capital of the usa um albany new york how many planets

41:44 are in our solar system you're counting seven

41:49 well this does bring up an old story when i entered dutch school in fifth grade speaking

41:59 maybe 10 words of dutch but i understood enough to hear the teacher tell me now so this would

42:06 have been 1974 no i'm sorry 78 and the teacher said america has 52 states i went and i raised

42:20 my hand i said no i said it's 50 states and the teacher went they had 50 and then they bought

42:28 alaska and hawaii you stupid american i may be exaggerating a little bit on the last part but

42:33 that's how it made me feel. I said, no, it's really 50. I remember now I was

42:38 young man and I called up the embassy that day from home and I recorded on a cassette recorder

42:49 and I asked them and they told me I was 48 and, you know, we bought Hawaii and Alaska and I took

42:54 it into school the next day and played it and I got kicked out of class. Yeah. Yeah. That would

43:00 happen and i think that was when i decided i would be a podcaster this is the gig for me i need you

43:07 decided something at that point because you realize that the system is corrupt yeah yes yes there was

43:12 a lot of good education that i got in dutch school but that was not part of it anyway that was fun

43:18 uh do you think the guy makes any money with that show how does he make money does he have a donation

43:23 segment no he doesn't i don't know how he makes money to be honest about it he's probably running

43:28 only fans girls he might be that's that's probably what he's doing this is the clip i have from the

43:35 one girl who's who's accumulated 32 million dollars so far in her only fans uh business

43:42 yeah i mean it's a business it's a it's a living but she probably doesn't know how many states are

43:48 in the union either it's unbelievable is this but you know again yeah well it wasn't between not

43:55 knowing that and not knowing that that george washington ran into some french dudes back in

44:00 the day it was a little more than that it's his backstory it's the backstory it's an important

44:07 backstory i thought it was good yeah okay well i'm not going to say it's not a good movie i'm

44:12 just saying what's the difference between not knowing some small factoid about washington

44:17 and not knowing how many planets there are in the solar system seven by the way there's seven

44:24 The girl's counting on her hand, on her fingers, and she gets the seven.

44:29 Mars, third rock from the sun is Mars.

44:31 Moon is two.

44:33 Third rock from the sun.

44:35 So yesterday, the president did one of his cabinet meetings, and I was watching.

44:42 I was watching the stream, but then I was watching the quad screen.

44:46 And the mainstream media does the same thing every single time.

44:49 They show the president's preamble.

44:52 Then when the secretaries are all giving their report, they cut away and then they laugh about the president, how dumb he is.

44:59 And I'll be honest, he went on for 10 minutes about the reflecting pool in front of the Washington Monument.

45:07 Oh, and the color of the water and the rest of it.

45:09 He went on and on and how he, you know, he's done swimming pools and he got his guys.

45:14 And now he's the right color blue for the paint.

45:18 from a builder's perspective it was rather interesting like oh okay i see what you did

45:22 there and i'm sure that i haven't been to dc in a long time construction guy who thought it was

45:27 interesting and that's about it yeah but it was this he's hey number one rule talk about what

45:34 you know about it but it just went on and on and and i was like i wish i would have kind of seen

45:40 this thing before he fixed it because i'm sure it was a piece of crap you know he's talking about

45:45 11 truckloads of trash

45:47 they took out of it, it was leaking

45:49 it was all oxidized

45:51 nothing was working

45:52 so there was, you know

45:55 anyways, so then they

45:57 they'll do that and then

45:59 they cut back when the press is asking

46:01 questions, which are usually

46:03 that's accurate representation

46:08 yeah, that's about right

46:09 and then the next day you get reports like this

46:11 President Trump is adamant that Iran cannot

46:13 have a nuclear weapon, but exactly how

46:15 he pulls that off is still an open question the president held a cabinet meeting at the white

46:19 house today where he touched on a wide range of topics but of course the headline was excuse me

46:24 iran and he said talks with the regime are still happening but is leaving the door open to resume

46:30 fighting if necessary they want very much to make a deal so far they haven't gotten there that we're

46:35 not satisfied with it but now we will be we will be either that or we'll have to just finish the

46:41 job they're negotiating on fumes but we'll see what happens the president's negotiating on fumes

46:47 i like that phrase yeah i mean it's well the so did the mainstream media m5m was all over although

46:53 it the phrase is you're you're running on fumes but negotiating in fumes maybe in the context of

47:00 oil is interesting yeah but we'll see what happens the president said he doesn't feel

47:05 pressure to strike a deal before voters head to the polls in november for the midterms

47:09 they thought they were going to outweigh me you know we'll outweigh him he's got the midterms i

47:13 don't care about the midterms people understand that they know that very simple iran cannot have

47:19 a nuclear weapon i don't care about the midterms probably true so that's one version then oh he

47:25 said something dumb oh and there's a pooper more breaking news tonight breaking breaking breaking

47:29 it's breaking news i'm telling it's breaking news more breaking news tonight new american

47:33 military strikes on iran that's according to a u.s official who tells us um that uh that iran

47:39 has set out to, the U.S. carriers have struck some new sites nearby Iran. The official adding

47:51 that the military also intercepted drones being launched from Iran. It caps a day that saw the

47:56 president hold a televised cabinet meeting during which Iran came up repeatedly. He suggested a deal

48:02 is close, but also that there's no hurry to reach one, saying pressure from the midterm elections

48:06 was not a concern for him, he threatened as well to, quote, blow up Oman, which is an ally of the

48:11 United States. And now we all know what an ally is now. He's going to blow up Oman.

48:17 Iran wants control of the Strait of Hormuz. Would you accept a short term deal that allows Iran and

48:24 Oman to control the Strait? And would they have to open it immediately? Or would you be open to

48:28 that happening over a period of time? The Strait is going to be open to everybody.

48:32 And who would control it? It's international waters. Nobody's going to control it.

48:36 We're going to watch over it. We'll watch over it, but nobody's going to control it.

48:39 Oman will behave just like everybody else, so we'll have to blow them up.

48:44 They understand that. They'll be fine.

48:46 Again, Oman is an ally, gives access to air bases and a port to American forces.

48:51 And if you think the president's statement about blowing up Oman was a slip of the tongue,

48:54 the State Department posted that clip of the president making the threat on social media not long after he said it.

49:00 As for Iran, it says 23 vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz over the last 24 hours.

49:06 That's under what it calls its security protection, according to Iranian state-sponsored media, with, quote, hostile vessels still not allowed.

49:13 So that was the main takeaway everybody had.

49:16 Oh, he's just going to blow up Oman, an ally.

49:19 And there's an ally.

49:20 Oh, come on, people.

49:21 Now, just a question.

49:24 I think this is, isn't it rather unique?

49:28 I'm sorry, let me do the Tucker.

49:30 Isn't it rather unique that the president televises his entire and allows the press to be there the entire time?

49:38 I just want to I don't remember any other president doing that.

49:42 No, it's not unique, but he does it a lot.

49:44 Yeah, he does some long ones.

49:47 He actually that's how we started off.

49:49 And I and I said, yeah, you know, that is kind of that is true.

49:52 That's that's a good point.

49:54 We have a lot of very happy people around the table because we're a great team.

50:00 It's been a tremendous period of time.

50:02 How many times have you heard a CEO of a company do this?

50:05 This is exactly what the Monday morning management meeting was.

50:09 This is like Bloom.

50:10 It's high Bloom factor.

50:14 All hands.

50:15 No, it's not all hands.

50:16 It's the management team.

50:18 You sit down with the management team and you pep everybody up.

50:21 Hey, everybody, it's Monday morning.

50:22 Okay, in this case, it's Wednesday.

50:23 Monday morning, everybody.

50:24 We've got a great team.

50:25 All right, we're doing great.

50:26 Everything's fantastic.

50:28 Good to have you all here.

50:29 For our country.

50:30 And things are going very well.

50:32 A number of jobs.

50:33 We have more people working today than we've ever had before in the history of our country.

50:37 Is that true?

50:38 No.

50:39 Well, yeah, I guess technically because we have more people than ever before.

50:43 Yes, well then, so it's true.

50:45 More people than ever.

50:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

50:49 And many other things.

50:51 And I have a few words to say to you that I think will be helpful.

50:56 and last night was incredible not only texas but so many other places and the numbers were

51:01 fantastic and they've really been that way for a year if you look it's hundreds of people won

51:09 and almost nobody didn't win almost nobody didn't who didn't win which of his uh primary

51:18 candidates didn't win do you know not offhand but there's i think one or two so but last night was

51:24 very uh very powerful so i'm thrilled to welcome everyone to the 12th cabinet meeting of our

51:31 administration and we're doing something that no administration's ever done we're always letting

51:36 the press join us because we're very open and transparent you like the word transparent but

51:41 we're more transparent than any any administration in history no to the best of my knowledge press

51:47 has never been invited ever to a cabinet meeting for any reason at all you know i believe that to

51:54 be true yeah i believe it to be true and the thing is they don't cover it they don't want you to know

51:59 what's actually happening it was kind of boring it's not boring why do you why do you think it's

52:04 boring well i've watched these things they went because the first one he did number one four four

52:10 hours yeah that was boring yeah it went on and on it was like and everyone and here's the thing

52:15 that's bothersome. And I think one of the reasons you don't have these things, I think having the

52:21 press there does serve a purpose. It keeps everybody in line because you don't have anybody

52:28 spouting off because they know that it's going to be next thing to be front page in the New York

52:34 Times. So you can't have anybody blowing up or having anything screwy happening in the press.

52:40 It makes it very genteel, which is probably what Trump wants.

52:46 He doesn't want any, you know, because you have enough trouble with leakers that he doesn't need that aggravation in his cabinet meeting.

52:52 So he just puts the brings the press in.

52:54 There's not going to be any leaking now.

52:56 Right.

52:58 But the bothersome thing to me is that no one covers it.

53:02 And, yeah, maybe because it's boring.

53:04 But, you know, like a good CEO, he goes through his most.

53:08 Well, you'd think they'd cover it better than they do because they have these press conferences and they're asking the questions.

53:15 The questions are pre-answered in these cabinet meetings.

53:19 Well, that's what I'm saying.

53:20 They cover the president's opening to be able to, he said, Oman, they're going to blow him up.

53:28 He's an ally.

53:28 He's dumb.

53:29 Yeah.

53:30 Okay.

53:31 Here's my take.

53:32 I'm a journalist and I've got the White House.

53:37 And I'm thinking, do I want to go to this cabinet meeting and sit there for four hours and three hours or whatever the hell it is and listen to this crap?

53:46 No, I'm going to go to the bar.

53:48 It was only an hour and a half.

53:50 That's too long.

53:52 So, no.

53:54 It's too long for the, no, I don't want to put the work in.

53:57 I just don't want to do it.

53:58 I think it's for different reasons.

53:59 I think it's because they don't want to report.

54:02 So the president, like any good CEO, starts with a report.

54:06 We have had zero illegals come in in the last 12 months.

54:10 Murder rate is the lowest.

54:11 I'm taking the perspective of the journalists.

54:14 I'm going to say the same thing.

54:15 I'm going to say it again.

54:16 So what?

54:17 This isn't interesting to me.

54:19 This is not good news.

54:20 I understand.

54:20 I understand.

54:21 But I'm deconstructing media by showing you what they're not doing.

54:26 Well, they're not doing anything, it seems like.

54:29 Right.

54:29 So therefore, did you know that we have the, I'm just going to presume these are true.

54:34 And the fact that no one went out and said, he lied, I'm just going to say they're probably true.

54:39 Lowest murder rate in 125 years.

54:43 Yeah, this seems to be true.

54:44 11,888 murderers have been removed.

54:48 Most favored nation drug prices, which I think is, in fact, he was mad about this.

54:55 Under my most favorite nation agreements, this is something that I wish the media would talk about, because to me, it's one of the biggest things ever to happen in our country, certainly as to medical, anything having to do with medical, because drug prices were delivering record setting discounts on prescription drugs with price differences of 400, 500 and even 600 percent at the TrumpRx.gov.

55:22 Now, wait, he's going to screw this up himself here.

55:24 We recently added nearly 1,000 low-cost generics to the website, so we have drugs down 400, 500, 600 percent.

55:35 Now you could say 80, 90, 70, 60, 50 percent if you want.

55:40 There are two ways. It depends on the way you ask the question.

55:42 What? Okay. He doesn't help himself with that.

55:46 No, that was no good.

55:48 And he goes into most favored nation drug prices.

55:50 So a pill that costs $10 in London, but $110 in the U.S., now it's $20 for everybody.

55:57 But that's a big deal.

55:58 But of course, they're not going to...

56:00 Of course, again, if you read my current Substack column, dvorak.substack.com,

56:07 where I talk about the capture of the media by the drug companies.

56:12 Yes, that was a good piece.

56:14 You're obviously not going to write about this because it has anything to do with drug.

56:17 Drug companies forget it's verboten.

56:19 And then he goes into the Somalis.

56:22 The Somalians, what they've done to Minnesota, the Somalians.

56:26 Somalians.

56:27 Crooked as hell.

56:28 Ilan Omar, crooked as hell.

56:31 They're all crooks.

56:31 And we got him.

56:33 We got him.

56:34 We got him.

56:35 Putting the clamps on.

56:36 You didn't get him?

56:36 Huh?

56:36 He didn't get Omar.

56:39 She's still kicking.

56:40 She's still doing her thing.

56:42 No, no.

56:42 I'll tell you, that's an oppressive group of guys that you have behind you.

56:47 I was watching that.

56:48 That's J.D.

56:49 A couple of very strong women, too.

56:51 But I was watching that last night.

56:53 I said, I'm proud of you guys.

56:55 In two months, we've exposed tens of billions of dollars of defrauded taxpayer money, prosecuted numerous fraudsters, Todd, and stopped billions of suspicious payments.

57:06 Very suspicious.

57:06 Oh, you haven't seen anything yet?

57:08 Well, you see, I'm getting reports from Todd, from J.D.

57:12 I've never seen anything like it, the kind of just hundreds of billions of dollars was stolen and no other administration would do what we're doing.

57:22 And he goes on about that. And then he had a nice moment. He thanked Tulsi Gabbard, who was she didn't speak.

57:28 Before asking Vice President Vance to speak about these efforts, I want to express our tremendous gratitude to our outgoing director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who's a terrific person, actually.

57:42 she's come up with some findings that were pretty good and uh tulsi's worked tirelessly

57:53 to restore trust and focus on the intelligence and with the intelligence community they all

57:58 respected her and it goes on about uh all the things she's uncovered about russia russia russia

58:03 and um and then you know for some reason she opened up the jfk rfk files and then ufo files

58:11 i don't think tulsi had anything to do with that but then the secretary spoke and they

58:16 actually were quite interesting um uh i'll skip vance because well actually the beginning is

58:24 kind of good sir well uh first of all thank you for your leadership sir you always have to start

58:29 with thank you for your leadership for making it possible i often find in the fraud task force that

58:34 there sometimes are barriers that we need to break down the agencies that need to coordinate and i'll

58:37 come to the president and say, Mr. President, I need your permission to do, and he'll say,

58:41 for what? For the Fraud Task Force? And he'll cut me off and say, yes, go do it. So the fact that

58:45 we have dedicated presidential leadership is really what's made this possible because it does

58:49 require, we've got great people around the table, but sometimes these agencies don't know how to

58:54 work together at the lower level. And that's one of the things we've had to turn on and force with

58:58 the Fraud Task Force. So I want to shout out just a few all-stars here. Linda at the Department of

59:03 Education has been amazing at finding student loan fraud. You've got people who are either

59:07 illegal aliens or aren't even actually real human beings who are getting hundreds of millions of

59:12 dollars from the department of education for student loans you know so all most of these

59:17 reports were all about fraud and it's it really is unbelievable how much how much i'll never forget

59:24 my dad once when i brought him into my company we weren't we didn't really have a great relationship

59:30 but i felt bad so you can be in my car you can get a desk over here that was not a not a good

59:36 relationship and my this is in holland and my company was um in line to get a deal with the

59:43 department of education until we found out how fraudulent those guys were i mean they literally

59:49 were committing fraud to pay us like no i don't want any part of that and i had to go testify

59:55 in court later for that because it was so messed up but i remember him saying that then nothing

1:00:00 came of it no no no the uh that guy was dismissed he got kicked out of government oh yeah oh

1:00:06 Oh, okay.

1:00:07 Something did come out of it.

1:00:08 But I'll never forget my dad, a good company man.

1:00:11 He worked for the U.S. government for many years.

1:00:14 He said, this is great.

1:00:17 Once you get on the government teat, it lasts forever.

1:00:19 And I'm like, yeah.

1:00:22 I've heard this ad.

1:00:25 Well, I kind of say the same thing.

1:00:27 I think the word teat is what bothered me the most.

1:00:29 Teat, yeah.

1:00:30 I'm like, this sucks.

1:00:31 I hated that.

1:00:34 It really bothered me.

1:00:34 Here's Todd Blanche, our acting attorney general.

1:00:37 I'll just continue to talk about what the vice president was just talking about.

1:00:40 The way that we are actually, it's one thing to uncover fraud, which we've done, and that's part of it.

1:00:48 But it's also prosecuting the bad guys that are doing it and stopping it from continuing.

1:00:53 And that's where you have, everybody in this room has inspector generals.

1:00:56 And for many years, these really hardworking law enforcement members would identify fraud, and nobody did anything about it.

1:01:03 DOJ prosecuted it, but spent

1:01:05 very little resources on that. So, what we've

1:01:07 done, just in the past 51 days,

1:01:09 over 400

1:01:11 law enforcement actions in this country

1:01:13 related to major fraud. That's search

1:01:15 warrants, that's arrests, that's convictions,

1:01:17 that's indictments that

1:01:19 are filed, and that's just 51 days.

1:01:21 And it's not just the

1:01:23 great prosecutors. It's the FBI

1:01:25 agents, it's DHS and HSI

1:01:27 agents, it's everybody in this room that has Inspector

1:01:29 Generals that are now,

1:01:31 they have been freed up. And it's

1:01:33 because of of you it's because of the vice president saying this is going to be a priority

1:01:37 of what we are going to do not just the department of justice even though we're the prosecutors that

1:01:41 are putting bad guys in jail it's also the the law enforcement um at every agency fbi and dhs and so

1:01:48 we're already seeing results and billions of dollars was given out just very quickly uh before

1:01:54 biden left office billions and billions were given out and i mean i i know of many cases but one i

1:02:01 don't know what's happened with it but i think you're looking at it i know lee was involved in

1:02:04 it environmentally and stacy abrams was given two billion dollars uh for an account that had 103

1:02:11 dollars in it an environmental fraud i guess so we heard about this we heard about the two billion

1:02:16 dollars to stacy abrams did you did you ever hear what happened to that no i did not so far as i can

1:02:22 tell nothing so here is lee zeldin of the epa he gets to talk he came right after todd thanks to

1:02:29 leadership mr president that was canceled and they no longer have access to that two billion dollars

1:02:35 they wanted that money good in fact it was over 29 billion dollars that have now it's now been

1:02:44 canceled at epa you told us to make it a priority now this happened as soon as you came in after the

1:02:50 election before your inauguration they were caught on video saying that they were rushing to get

1:02:57 billions of dollars out the door before you're swearing in

1:02:59 because they were afraid that once

1:03:01 you were sworn in, you were going to stop it.

1:03:02 Well, that part, they were right.

1:03:04 We did.

1:03:06 So, I didn't know that.

1:03:08 I didn't know that they

1:03:11 pulled that money back.

1:03:12 I may have known it.

1:03:14 This is the problem.

1:03:16 This is the problem.

1:03:18 I didn't know there were 400

1:03:20 arrests. I didn't know any of this stuff.

1:03:23 Why would I? Because they're not

1:03:25 yeah why would you because they're not going to tell you well if it was obama they would

1:03:29 it's not if they tell you are you going to vote democrat i don't think so well exactly this is

1:03:37 but fox news didn't tell me either no well hello okay just saying so then we got rubio who had some

1:03:46 funny things to say just two quick things i want to touch upon one you touched upon the border and

1:03:50 security part of securing our border is dealing with the people that are in this country unlawfully

1:03:56 many of whom do not want to go back to the country that they originally came from for a variety of

1:04:00 reasons you know listen to this you can't send them there or some judge ties us up and one of

1:04:04 the key things we have achieved is now 20 countries have signed third country national agreements

1:04:09 meaning these are safe countries where individuals who refuse to go back to their country of origin

1:04:14 can be sent to that country instead we've gotten 20 countries now around the world who have signed

1:04:18 agreements that allow us to deport people to those places what often happens when you go to the person

1:04:24 who's here unlawfully and say we're going to send you to this third country is all of a sudden they

1:04:28 decide they'd rather go back to their home country no man don't send me to don't send me to nigeria

1:04:33 no no i'll go back to mexico i promise i promise i'll never do it again and and this is the one

1:04:39 clip that i did see here and there on the main by the way that was a stroke of genius to do that

1:04:44 pull that stunt it's a great idea yeah no you can't go back to costa rica okay we'll send you

1:04:50 to to nairobi you know tanzania whatever tanzania or yeah no congo no no no there's ebola there i

1:04:59 don't want to go there no i'll go back to mexico i promise and then this got a little bit of play

1:05:05 in the mainstream rubio on cuba can i just ask you cuba and venezuela what's going on there well

1:05:10 Well, interesting. On Venezuela, that process continues, that three-phase process, you know, of, obviously, stabilization, recovery, and transition.

1:05:19 I would just say, just since January 3rd of this year, okay, and I think this number's right, and Chris or Doug can correct me on this,

1:05:26 but I think over 10 million barrels of Venezuelan oil have been delivered to the United States since the 3rd of January.

1:05:32 That doesn't seem like a lot. 10 million barrels since January?

1:05:40 But aren't some of these Middle East countries pumping out $5 million a day?

1:05:49 Yeah.

1:05:50 So $10 million in what, six months?

1:05:54 That doesn't seem like a lot to me.

1:05:55 Maybe it's more than what's coming out of there.

1:05:57 But I was like, no, that's odd.

1:06:00 That industry is being professionalized for the first time ever.

1:06:03 It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people.

1:06:05 They are selling oil in the market at market rates.

1:06:08 The money's going to an account in the United States controlled and monitored by Treasury, audited by KPMG.

1:06:14 I like that. KPMG in the house, people.

1:06:17 And it's for the first time ever the money's not being stolen.

1:06:20 It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people.

1:06:22 Cuba's in a lot of trouble because, unfortunately for them, it's run by a bunch of incompetent communists.

1:06:28 And being communist is bad. Being an incompetent communist is like the worst.

1:06:32 Okay, Marco. Okay, Marco. Good one. Lubio in there.

1:06:37 But the country's been taken over by this company called Gaisa that basically controls 70 percent of the economy.

1:06:42 None of the money in that company goes to help the Cuban people.

1:06:46 I didn't know this. Gaisa, Grupo de Administracion Empresarial, which was set up by Raul Castro in 1955 and does indeed, according to reports, control up to 70 percent of the entire economy.

1:07:03 Tourism, retail, finance, infrastructure, like the ports.

1:07:07 I'm just going to give you, just to interrupt you.

1:07:13 Yeah.

1:07:13 Venezuela oil production.

1:07:15 Yeah.

1:07:16 It's around, currently it's up to 893,000 barrels a day.

1:07:22 But it's been as low as, as low as.

1:07:26 Two barrels.

1:07:27 It's really, you have to look at this chart.

1:07:31 It was as high as like 3.5 million barrels a day back in 1970.

1:07:37 And it dropped to as low as, jeez, just next to nothing in 2020.

1:07:45 I mean, it's almost, the chart is just at the bottom.

1:07:48 It's a number so low, you can't even get it.

1:07:51 So it's up though.

1:07:52 That's the idea.

1:07:53 It's up a bit, yeah.

1:07:54 It's up, yeah.

1:07:55 Hmm.

1:07:55 But they're not produced, they're not anywhere near capacity.

1:07:59 I mean, it's like ridiculous.

1:08:01 No, of course, I'm sure.

1:08:02 Which is what, you know, Trump's offering.

1:08:04 And let's get back to cranking this stuff out.

1:08:06 And then you can make, you know, you can, this woman who runs the country will be rich, you know, without being corrupt.

1:08:13 Yes.

1:08:14 Although it's, you know.

1:08:16 All right.

1:08:18 So then we go to Doug, Doug, Doug Burgum.

1:08:21 He's of the interior.

1:08:22 And he starts to confirm some things about Alaska.

1:08:29 that I've been looking at the pipeline, the North Slope. And so here he is on the oil, our own oil.

1:08:37 I would, President Trump, under your leadership, we've opened up lease sales on public land. This

1:08:44 is land that was put away for the benefit and the use of the American people, like the Strategic

1:08:49 Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. The Biden administration had illegally stopped holding

1:08:53 lease sales during their administration. President Trump famously said, drill, baby, drill, but before

1:08:59 you can drill, you've got to open public lands. Between the lease sales that have happened in the

1:09:06 Permian, in the Bakken, and on the North Slope, just since January of this year, it's over

1:09:12 $4 billion of revenues come into the Treasury. That's 13 times more than the Biden administration

1:09:18 brought in on lease sales in the entire four years

1:09:22 that you're in office.

1:09:23 Sir, your policies brought that in in five months.

1:09:26 So with that, a lot of excitement, a lot of activity.

1:09:29 Exciting, very exciting.

1:09:29 We also inherited.

1:09:30 All right, so very exciting, very exciting.

1:09:33 Oil, I actually checked that

1:09:35 because I keep hearing about Alaska.

1:09:37 And he talks about how all these land leases

1:09:40 and we know that in Alaska,

1:09:42 the oil money goes to the Alaskans.

1:09:44 And so that's-

1:09:45 A piece of it.

1:09:46 A piece, yes.

1:09:47 But the same thing is starting to happen with these public lands.

1:09:50 And apparently there's a backlog of 5,000 or 6,000 land leases for oil drilling.

1:09:55 So I got to talk to the oil baron about it, who did send me a note this morning and said, your call on $60 oil is right.

1:10:03 He said he sent me some long analysis.

1:10:06 Someone who says it's probably going to go down to $62.

1:10:09 And it won't take much.

1:10:11 It won't take much.

1:10:13 here's they're not you know supposedly alaskan oil is going to china i think it may be but i

1:10:20 don't think it's quite there yet this is from cnbc i want to ask you joe just had some headlines here

1:10:25 before we came out of the commercial break which is basically that that china may have agreed to

1:10:29 buy u.s oil what can you tell us about the china meetings and china's energy purchases from the

1:10:36 united states yeah i mean 20 years ago we were the largest importer of oil and natural gas in

1:10:41 the world and today china is the largest importer of oil and natural gas in the world so there's a

1:10:46 natural energy trade there we've sold them you know ethane for poly for petrochemicals and oil

1:10:52 on and off through the years and i suspect we'll see a growth in their oil imports from the united

1:10:57 states so you you think you said suspect but you think they will be a larger buyer we know they're

1:11:01 a huge buyer of u.s lng or at least taiwan south korea and japan are china as well you think there'll

1:11:07 be a bigger buyer of u.s crude oil i do i do think they will there's huge interest in asian buyers

1:11:14 for more oil out of alaska as well you know now our oil goes out of the gulf of mexico we'll see

1:11:18 more of that going over to china but in the not too distant future we're going to see more oil

1:11:23 coming out of alaska that's going to supply our neighbors and friends in asia as well yeah that's

1:11:28 the pipeline from the north slope down to the south we'll see uh and then in the q a there

1:11:33 wasn't there only two kind of interesting questions in the q a uh this one slipped in i'm like oh i

1:11:39 see what's going to happen here are you expecting congress to pass a federal gas tax holiday

1:11:45 a gas tax holiday well it's something we might talk about let's see what happens over the next

1:11:52 week two weeks a lot of good things are happening gas tax holiday well of course

1:11:56 of course you want to do a gas tax holiday right before the fourth of july

1:12:01 because that's what that's the that's the date that's the date we had gas he has to have an

1:12:07 announcement uh do you know how much the federal taxes on on gasolina no how much you'd be surprised

1:12:15 how little it is gas prices are rising again and president trump is now floating a temporary

1:12:20 suspension of the federal gas tax as a way to give drivers some relief let's go to morgan stevens

1:12:26 with the fact check team so we got to talk about numbers let's start with the federal gas tax i

1:12:30 believe it's just short of 20 cents per gallon right yeah the federal gas tax is 18.4 cents

1:12:36 per gallon for regular and 24.4 cents for diesel now do you think that would make a lot of

1:12:42 difference to people if it went down by basically 20 cents if it went down by 20 cents i think to

1:12:49 some people who chew up a lot of gas especially these truckers yeah well that that's even more

1:12:56 on oil. So that may be part of what he's thinking of doing. And I don't think the president can do

1:13:03 that. I think it has to be an act of Congress because it's a federal tax. And that 18.4 cents

1:13:08 has been there since the 90s. It's been there forever. I'm surprised they don't jack it up.

1:13:14 Well, in California, I think you have almost $2. No, I'm sorry, 70 cents, 70 cents of state tax.

1:13:24 And I still don't understand how you get to seven bucks a gallon in California.

1:13:28 Well, our blend is very specific to California.

1:13:31 Bad blend, yes.

1:13:32 It's a blend that supposedly reduces smog, and it only can be made by a few refineries.

1:13:39 And once those refineries get shut down by California and stupidity, we won't have any gas at all.

1:13:45 And then we can ride our bicycles.

1:13:47 And then the final question about the Abraham Accords.

1:13:50 Do you think, Iran, that just calls for further talks on uranium?

1:13:54 No.

1:13:54 The only option is...

1:13:55 No, the basics. No, I would for some of it, you know, because it's a memorandum of understanding for speed.

1:14:01 One of the things that will happen is the Strait will open immediately. Immediately.

1:14:05 But it's got to be perfect. I'm not going to do this. I didn't do this to get a crummy agreement.

1:14:10 The worst agreement ever signed was by Barack Hussein Obama.

1:14:15 What a horrible agreement that was. It was a setback for this country, for the whole world.

1:14:20 Middle East would have blown itself up. No. And we'd like to have the countries we're talking

1:14:25 about with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and the others, we'd like to have them immediately join

1:14:31 the, and Steve Witkoff is working on that with Jared and some others, but we'd like to have them

1:14:35 join the Abraham Accords. It'll be historic if they do it. And we would, I think they,

1:14:39 I think they owe that to us, to be honest. I think, because that really would be a tremendous

1:14:45 to sign. And I think those countries owe it to us. Steve, are you going to get them to sign?

1:14:51 We're definitely pushing it. I'm not sure. I'm not sure we should make the deal if they don't

1:14:58 sign. You want to know the truth? If they don't sign to join the Abraham Accords, I don't know

1:15:02 that we, you know, we have countries in there already. UAE, great, great countries, bold

1:15:08 countries and it's turned out to be so good so effective and uh so we're you know requesting

1:15:16 strongly that they they join it'll be great it'll be great for saudi arabia be great for

1:15:21 qatar and kuwait the whole group he's pushing he's pushing real hard for it who knows who knows

1:15:28 crazier things have happened and i just listened to this you know it was overall it was very

1:15:33 positive, you know, a lot of good news about manufacturing and, you know, and Besson came in

1:15:40 and he had nothing but great news to report, of course. And I believe 80% of it is true,

1:15:46 but no one hears this. And so we, as humans, we love bad news and we love living in anger and we

1:15:55 love living in sarcasm. And it's just, it's too bad because people get so wrapped up in it. And

1:16:02 I'll give you a point there for you talking about the algos and regarding Massey's so-called affair with Boebert.

1:16:10 I think that people attract these algos, and they just sit in that muck all day.

1:16:16 It sucks.

1:16:17 It's no good.

1:16:18 It's horrible.

1:16:19 I've run into another interesting algo trick.

1:16:23 I don't know what this is about, but I mentioned it to Mimi, and she says,

1:16:28 Oh, I don't know what you're talking about.

1:16:30 I haven't seen one of these videos because I have my algos.

1:16:37 He'll talk about it on the show.

1:16:39 Let's put him on the algo.

1:16:40 So there's a bunch of Russian chicks that keep cropping up,

1:16:47 and there's three of them in particular.

1:16:49 I would love to see your algo because, of course, you're getting Russian chicks

1:16:54 after you got the nitwits who don't know how many planets there are

1:16:57 or letters in the alphabet your your entire out it's your brain is frying my friend so the russian

1:17:05 chicks then there's a bunch of them and they're and there's also clips of putin and it's the and

1:17:11 they're they're i think that putin wants to show up a little more on tiktok and it's what a great

1:17:16 guy putin is and look at his security people and he's hand signals and he does this and he does

1:17:21 that and he's got and there's just and there's meaningless drivel about putin about what a great

1:17:26 guy is the russian chicks are all pretty and they're they have funny stories about russia

1:17:33 and how depressing it is and how but how great the russian people are and and there's one russian

1:17:39 girl that's teaching how to say cuss in russian you want to cuss somebody out in russian and it's

1:17:46 one thing after another and i think that this is i i believe there's an intelligence agency behind

1:17:52 these and they are promoting the idea that we're going to like and this backs you up by the way i

1:17:58 don't know why you complain about it but this backs your theory that we're it's russia china

1:18:03 united states and maybe india it's forming a new nexus because this is warming people up to russia

1:18:09 yes and you're right add india lubio was just there for the week right he was there just

1:18:16 coincidentally with his wife but not coincidentally nope and uh but this right the russian prop the

1:18:23 pro it's oddly pro-russian even though they're cynical girls they're all very pretty one in

1:18:29 particular is a beautiful girl and she's telling us about you know how we should you know listen

1:18:35 to the russian women it's just crazy stuff and they're short and they're on insta and they're

1:18:41 on tiktok and i've and i've seen them you know they just kind of crop up they also show up on

1:18:46 twitter but not to an extreme and uh it's just fascinating because i you just see it as a as an

1:18:53 op it's a psyop maybe um but i think the algos you know whatever you're looking the algos aren't all

1:19:01 that smart so yes i think it's very easy for any agency to uh promote things and get people who

1:19:09 already interested in cute women could these russian chicks could they name all the planets

1:19:15 probably i'm just guessing yeah you know they're not dummies right so you can see the difference

1:19:22 this is exactly what i'm talking about people are living in this negative in america's very

1:19:29 much in america it's it's i just see it everywhere sucks everything's faking gay

1:19:35 trump epstein that's all i hear all day long but you don't hear any of the good stuff

1:19:43 and it probably doesn't even matter to them anymore hey there's no more idiot illegals

1:19:49 coming in oh that's good hey you know we got a lot of people at work yeah that's pretty good

1:19:54 hey we're we got a lot of a lot more jobs coming i talked to one of our kids here the other day uh

1:20:00 parker i meet with him from time to time it's like i'm thinking about becoming an hvac guy

1:20:05 i want to make 200 grand yeah where does he hear it on this show like that sounds pretty good to me

1:20:12 so yeah talking about since we're in the topic of good news let's move to this story

1:20:19 nasa moon base big story yeah buggies and bases everybody they're back take a look at nasa's

1:20:27 vision of a future moon base, massive, potentially hundreds of square miles on the lunar surface,

1:20:33 complete with astronaut living quarters, lunar rovers, and power stations, with the ultimate

1:20:39 goal of heading to Mars. And we want to be in an environment where we can learn the skills so that

1:20:44 astronauts can go and plant the stars and stripes on Mars someday. Splashdown confirmed.

1:20:49 NASA's moon base plans come just six weeks after the Artemis II mission that sent astronauts

1:20:55 around the moon for the first time in 50 years. NASA hopes to land Artemis IV astronauts on the

1:21:02 moon in 2028. Building a moon base will come in three phases starting this year, eventually using

1:21:11 drones and rovers to scout the best landing sites near the South Pole. In 2029, they'll begin

1:21:17 assembling the moon base, including solar and nuclear power systems. Then in 2032, the first

1:21:23 astronauts will begin living and working on the moon. Artemis astronauts will stay longer,

1:21:28 explore farther, and conduct the kinds of science that advances exploration itself.

1:21:32 With China also aiming to build a lunar base, NASA plans to establish a perimeter around the

1:21:38 American base. It's an ambitious timeline, and NASA will need to learn and react fast and mitigate

1:21:45 the risks, including from long-term radiation exposure and micrometeorites that shower the moon.

1:21:51 Now, do you think that this still inspires young people, this whole moon business?

1:21:57 Or is it more like, hey, man, get my gas down to three bucks?

1:22:03 Well, that's an interesting question you'd bring up.

1:22:07 Let me contemplate it.

1:22:10 There's a series of NASA, NASA, NASA, NASA, NASA, NASA clips.

1:22:15 NASA has gone farther than anyone else.

1:22:18 And so it starts with NASA, Moonbase, et cetera, one, and this is an NBC report, and there's these three parts, and it talks about what, you know, they're trying to, because Trump wants to defund, or not defund, but to pull back on the NASA funding and give more of it to Musk.

1:22:36 Okay.

1:22:37 And so this is, so now NBC's pushing back with this presentation.

1:22:42 And NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman joins us now.

1:22:46 Mr. Administrator, thank you so very much for joining us tonight.

1:22:49 Fascinating timeline on all of this with the first part of Operation Moonbase.

1:22:53 It seems like it's already in motion.

1:22:56 And it also seems like the first things first is...

1:22:59 Hold on a second.

1:22:59 Could they not come up with a better operation name than Operation Moonbase?

1:23:05 Is that really all they got?

1:23:07 Lame.

1:23:10 Yeah, very lame.

1:23:11 tapping out and exploring the lay of the land in as much detail as possible with the rovers and the drones, right?

1:23:17 What does that look like?

1:23:18 Well, I'll tell you, we're off to a really great start, right?

1:23:21 So Artemis 2, just a month and change ago, we got to watch those four amazing astronauts fly around the moon,

1:23:27 bring them back safely home to Earth, reestablish NASA back in the business of sending astronauts to the lunar environment.

1:23:33 Artemis 3 is going to start stacking this summer.

1:23:36 And then to your point, in parallel, while we're getting our astronauts ready for that grand return,

1:23:41 We're building the moon base.

1:23:42 So today we had some incredible announcements.

1:23:44 First three missions that will go to the moon, uncrewed robotic ones later this summer.

1:23:49 But we also announced two rovers on the lunar surface that have autonomous and crewed capability.

1:23:54 But this is just the beginning.

1:23:56 We're talking about a $20 billion investment over the next seven years to establish that enduring presence on the moon,

1:24:02 realize its scientific and economic potential, and master the skills for where we go next.

1:24:07 And where we go next is Mars.

1:24:08 Oh, please do tell me, what is the scientific and economic potential?

1:24:12 What is it?

1:24:13 I have no idea, but I'll tell you this much.

1:24:16 If they're going to spend $20 billion to put a moon base up,

1:24:19 I think we spend $120 billion for a high-speed rail in California

1:24:24 that doesn't even have one inch of track laid.

1:24:27 Well, in that regard...

1:24:28 Maybe we should take some of our money.

1:24:31 In that regard, I think you're right.

1:24:33 The money is rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

1:24:38 But I can predict what's going to happen.

1:24:40 I can get your calci bets.

1:24:42 I'm going to over-predict after you're done predicting.

1:24:45 I'm going to meta-predict.

1:24:46 My prediction is Artemis III, probably.

1:24:51 But Artemis IV, when they're actually going to send people to the moon,

1:24:54 blow up.

1:24:55 It's going to blow up.

1:24:56 It's going to be sad, and it's going to blow up,

1:24:59 and it's going to be death, and it's going to be no good.

1:25:02 That's my prediction.

1:25:03 Your meta-prediction?

1:25:04 I'm not going to do Jack.

1:25:08 What do you mean?

1:25:09 Nothing blows up.

1:25:10 Nothing happens.

1:25:10 Yak, yak, yak.

1:25:12 They're going to talk, talk, talk.

1:25:14 Send a couple of robots up there, and one of them will stop working, and then they won't know what to quite do.

1:25:21 This will just get put off.

1:25:23 2028, they're supposed to send Artemis up with the people?

1:25:25 No.

1:25:26 Okay.

1:25:26 All right.

1:25:27 NASA, too.

1:25:28 If I understand this correctly, you know, extraction of helium-3, again, that is probably pretty far on the horizon.

1:25:34 But we're talking about nuclear power that may not...

1:25:37 Answering your question.

1:25:38 They're answering my question?

1:25:41 Your question was, what are you talking about?

1:25:44 What are they going to get out of it?

1:25:45 What are we going to extract?

1:25:46 Helium-3.

1:25:47 So?

1:25:49 What is the cost of extracting helium-3 from the...

1:25:55 What is helium-3?

1:25:56 I think it's used for, you know...

1:26:00 Balloons.

1:26:00 Balloons.

1:26:01 It's not used for balloons.

1:26:02 For party balloons.

1:26:03 No, it has to do with nuclear power.

1:26:06 Why don't you ask the book of knowledge to explain it?

1:26:08 Okay, I shall.

1:26:10 Book of knowledge.

1:26:11 What is the use of helium-3?

1:26:14 All right, here we go.

1:26:18 Book of knowledge is scribbling away and looking for answers for us all.

1:26:22 According to the book of knowledge, helium-3 serves four primary earthly purposes.

1:26:30 Neutron detection for security screening, dilution refrigerators for ultra-low temperature physics, medical imaging including lung MRI scans, and as potential fuel for future aneutronic fusion reactors.

1:26:44 Nearly 80% of current helium-3 is used for security purposes worldwide.

1:26:50 For security purposes, for scanning you at the airport.

1:26:54 Oh wow, I'm so happy we're doing that, NOSA.

1:26:57 If I understand this correctly, you know, extraction of helium-3, again, that is probably pretty far on the horizon.

1:27:03 But we're talking about nuclear power that may not have any radioactive fallout.

1:27:09 There's all kinds of things we could do with helium.

1:27:11 Bull crap.

1:27:11 Bull fusion.

1:27:12 Oh, bull crap.

1:27:13 Oh, all kinds.

1:27:13 Oh, fusion.

1:27:14 Yeah, here we go.

1:27:15 What do you think sizable amounts of helium-3 would do to a space economy if we couldβ€”

1:27:21 Space economy?

1:27:22 All right.

1:27:24 How about Earth economy?

1:27:25 Extract it from the moon.

1:27:27 so helium-3 has applications for uh quantum computing and to your point uh

1:27:33 quantum computing everybody efficient fuel source for it what i will say is there is helium-3 here

1:27:46 on earth we can uh we can manufacture it in fact a lot of the reactors up north are capable of

1:27:51 doing it uh but the question will be will there be so much demand that helium-3 from the lunar

1:27:56 surface oh so much demand for quantum computing okay good night nasa uh actually sparks that

1:28:02 lunar economy uh or maybe there is economic potential we don't know we haven't been there

1:28:07 in a really long time and we're going back we're putting a heck of a demand signal out there i mean

1:28:11 there's gonna be so many landers and rovers on the lunar surface certainly they're we're gonna

1:28:15 have our astronauts there infrequently at first until you get to the point where it may be who

1:28:20 is this the guy is this is this the isn't this a nasa head guy he's like a lunatic he is a lunatic

1:28:27 i think they found him in an insane asylum an operational base similar to how we keep a

1:28:32 continuous presence in low earth orbit on the international space station so there may be a

1:28:36 lunar economy but what we do know is there is water ice there and our astronauts will work with

1:28:41 it again to master those skills that are going to be imperative because in the not too distant future

1:28:45 If we can put astronauts on the moon, we'll be able to put them on Mars.

1:28:48 The hard part is how do you bring them back?

1:28:51 And manufacturing propellant on the moon is a great place to figure it out when you're four or five days away from home and really get good at it before you send astronauts nine months, a year away from home on Mars where they're going to have to be incredibly good at those skills.

1:29:05 I'm against all of this.

1:29:07 This is the worst idea ever.

1:29:10 Who cares?

1:29:12 Open the straits.

1:29:13 Give me $3 gas.

1:29:15 then we can talk about moon stuff it's going to be all the lunar economy okay the price tag that

1:29:23 you kicked around at the top of this this conversation still 20 billion but obviously

1:29:27 mass drivers excluded in that but is that is that realistic nuts oh very realistic oh absolutely i

1:29:35 mean if you take a look at the uh you know the uh the resources that president trump has made

1:29:39 available between the working family tax cut act that's a 10 billion dollar uh one time plus up in

1:29:44 nasa i mean the single biggest and uh you know supplemental investment since the the kennedy era

1:29:49 a large portion of that going into exploration which is putting american astronauts back on the

1:29:53 moon to stay which is uh the moon base and then i think you take a look at the 26 appropriations

1:29:59 the president's budget request we absolutely have the resources and and not only that to dial it up

1:30:05 to get those landers on the moon get the rovers there to learn in that unique environment you're

1:30:10 Right. We're not getting people on the moon. We're getting Waymos on the moon.

1:30:16 Robots.

1:30:17 Robots. Okay. Impress me.

1:30:20 To inform phase two and phase three to realize that enduring presence on the moon and do all the other things.

1:30:26 The International Space Station, our astronauts.

1:30:28 All the other things.

1:30:30 Our X-Plane portfolio, the orbital economy.

1:30:32 What? What? We went from the lunar economy to...

1:30:37 That's our X-Plane portfolio.

1:30:39 The orbital economy.

1:30:40 The orbital economy.

1:30:42 A lot of economies going on.

1:30:44 X-Plane.

1:30:45 The space economy, the lunar economy, the orbital economy.

1:30:49 You know, lots of great missions of science and discovery like Roman and Dragonfly.

1:30:54 Roman and Dragonfly?

1:30:56 Oh, he's just throwing out words now.

1:30:58 That's the SpaceX stuff.

1:31:00 The public should rightfully have high expectations for what NASA can deliver with the research.

1:31:04 I have very high expectations.

1:31:06 is available we intend to uh to show them land a dude there all right show me that yeah and just

1:31:13 to put things in perspective i mean 20 billion for a lunar base here in california we're still

1:31:17 waiting for that uh link from la to san francisco and that's a hundred billion nasa isaacman thank

1:31:25 you so much for joining us thank you so much for that information thank you i'm so incredibly happy

1:31:30 i'm so happy about this that's great that's just fantastic

1:31:36 I got to play an interregnum.

1:31:38 Another one?

1:31:40 Wow.

1:31:41 No, we're interregnum full today.

1:31:43 Have you seen the-

1:31:45 That's a show title, interregnum.

1:31:46 Oh, no, I wrote it down.

1:31:47 Have you seen the new Ferrari?

1:31:49 The electric one, this doofus looking one?

1:31:53 Yes.

1:31:53 I mean, as a kid growing up, you know, you had your matchbox cars, your hot wheels, you

1:32:01 know, a Ferrari, that was, it was like a thing you knew you'd never have, but it was cool

1:32:06 and you see one driving like, oh, it's a Ferrari.

1:32:08 You know, which version, which model Ferrari it was.

1:32:11 Oh, there goes, yeah.

1:32:12 Yeah, you know, and then...

1:32:14 There goes an Enzo.

1:32:14 Yeah, an Enzo.

1:32:16 Exactly, he's sitting in the middle.

1:32:17 Look at that, the Enzo.

1:32:18 And then this thing comes along.

1:32:21 I mean, what a dog.

1:32:24 And I got this report on it,

1:32:26 which made so much sense once I heard about it.

1:32:29 It is called the Luce.

1:32:30 It is the first all-electric Ferrari in the numbers.

1:32:33 Well, at least they're impressive.

1:32:35 1,035 horsepower from four electric motors, zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds, five seats, and a starting price, get ready for it, $640,000.

1:32:45 That's the starting price.

1:32:47 But the design, well, as one analyst said, the market has spoken.

1:32:52 Ferrari shares down about 4.5% on concerns that the Luce will cheapen the brand and add significant costs that will be hard to recover.

1:33:01 Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna telling CNBC that the Ferrari looks different because EVs are different.

1:33:07 This guy is about to be out of a job.

1:33:09 When you have a new technology, you need to make sure that that technology is properly represented in the design.

1:33:18 By making it look like a piece of crap.

1:33:20 The design must be different.

1:33:21 It's different like stupid.

1:33:23 You have to respect the different needs, the different wishes of the clients.

1:33:27 So we will have clients, already existing clients, that will take it.

1:33:31 And some clients that are not clients today, some people that are not clients today, that will get in our community.

1:33:37 Now, wait for it.

1:33:39 This is what I was expecting, this part.

1:33:41 And it certainly is different.

1:33:43 The Luce was designed with Johnny Ive.

1:33:45 They let that gay guy design it.

1:33:49 You just got clip of the day for this one.

1:33:51 Oh, man.

1:33:52 It was like, holy moly, they didn't do that, did they?

1:33:57 wow good catch no wonder it's a piece of crap and it's got it's got grony eyes yeah i'm johnny

1:34:07 i built the latest for i i'm just like an iphone it even uses the gorilla glass or whatever it

1:34:15 certainly is different the lucha was designed with johnny ive he of course being the former

1:34:20 apple design chief and much like the iphone the lucha's body is made partly from corning glass

1:34:27 Corning glass. What could possibly go wrong?

1:34:31 And guys, a lot of people are concerned about that Ferrari engine sound that made Ferrari famous,

1:34:36 where they're going to do it through an electronic amplification system.

1:34:40 Oh, no.

1:34:40 It takes the noise from...

1:34:42 No.

1:34:42 This is the dumbest of all dumb.

1:34:44 The rear axle amplifies it outside as well as in the cabin.

1:34:49 And, Sarah, as you said, we're just going to see how many people buy the new Luce.

1:34:55 Luce.

1:34:56 I'm Johnny Ive

1:34:58 I built the Luce

1:34:59 I didn't know

1:35:00 they were going to put

1:35:01 a phony baloney

1:35:01 sound effect on it

1:35:03 what's the point

1:35:05 exactly

1:35:06 if you got an electric car

1:35:07 they're

1:35:07 one of the cool things

1:35:09 about them

1:35:10 is that they're so

1:35:10 they're super quiet

1:35:12 or they make a nice hum

1:35:13 they make some

1:35:14 you know

1:35:14 yeah they hum along

1:35:16 I mean they just do

1:35:17 what they do

1:35:17 if there's electric

1:35:18 but then you make it sound

1:35:19 like a gas engine

1:35:20 for why

1:35:21 yeah I know

1:35:22 there were more fun things

1:35:24 this week

1:35:25 um our uh socialist mayor of new york met with the bankers yeah i saw that i thought that was

1:35:35 kind of interesting i have two clips here mayor mamdani spent most of yesterday afternoon meeting

1:35:41 with the folks who helped make new york city the financial capital of the world to try to contain

1:35:45 that backlash that you mentioned mamdani met with jp morgan chase ceo jamie diamond at their new

1:35:51 headquarters in Midtown, Mamdani's office sharing with Fox Business that the pair discussed, quote,

1:35:55 how the public and private sectors can collaborate to deliver both excellent public goods and a

1:36:01 thriving city where all New Yorkers can succeed. From J.P. Morgan's perspective, they said that

1:36:07 the meeting was constructive and included the importance of, quote, keeping the city competitive.

1:36:12 But J.P. Morgan has been signaling with hiring moves that they're more optimistic about other

1:36:19 markets the firm has reduced their headcount in new york and now has more employees in texas than

1:36:25 they do in the big apple that's because we got a we have a stock exchange opening up here in texas

1:36:31 in austin actually i think mom donnie also met with goldman sachs ceo david solomon at gracie

1:36:36 mansion neither the city nor goldman sachs has given fox business a readout of that meeting

1:36:41 these talks are the latest efforts by mom donnie to make nice with the business community as he

1:36:46 continues to push initiatives like city-run grocery stores and massive tax increases on

1:36:51 second homes. Mamdani has also been meeting with other Wall Street executives from Bank of America

1:36:56 and Blackstone, the world's largest commercial real estate owner. His office has also reached

1:37:01 out to Citadel founder Ken Griffin, whom Mamdani previously criticized publicly over his New York

1:37:07 City penthouse with that second home tax. Citadel telling Fox Business that Griffin welcomes

1:37:12 thoughtful, serious conversations about the policies that can grow the city's economy and

1:37:17 create more opportunities for all New Yorkers. And that, quote, reckless political theater

1:37:21 serves no purpose. No meeting has been announced yet. And there was a readout. In fact, they had

1:37:28 a quote from Jamie Dimon about this meeting later in the day. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warning

1:37:35 progressive left leaders are driving wealth and business and taxpayers out with their tax the

1:37:41 rich agenda and socialist economic schemes. Can't demonize success. The Wall Street Titan

1:37:45 also sending a blunt message to New York's Mayor Mamdani saying he doesn't care what the socialist

1:37:51 says, but he's watching what he does. They think that somehow being anti-business is going to help

1:37:57 the city. It's not. So we all want to pay fair taxes. That's not the point. But at one point,

1:38:02 people voted their feet. And there are a lot of studies that have shown that all these people

1:38:06 moved out and they they're obviously the tech obviously new york's booming so you're not gonna

1:38:11 see in this year's taxes but a lot of people are paying billions of taxes left why why do you want

1:38:16 that how does that help the lower paid person in new york yeah so it sounds like uh jamie down

1:38:23 was not so happy with that meeting like and the guy's no good and you know who's back on the scene

1:38:29 talk about algos the one the only pastor manning from atla ministries is back

1:38:37 well he's never gone anywhere no but he's never had anything good enough i mean he ran for mayor

1:38:43 and it was kind of funny but he also turned on trump yeah well he turns on everybody yeah he

1:38:50 turns on everybody but i have a a clip here where he talks about mom donnie um well he'd be good on

1:38:58 this yeah yeah not kid friendly everybody so i'll give you a second to uh yeah put your hands

1:39:05 around your children's stick your fears are you okay i'm choking to death here are you all right

1:39:11 i was chewing on a lozenge ah the lozenge went down the wrong pipe no careful with that here we

1:39:19 go a woman can't raise children you can't raise children with tits you gotta have balls you gotta

1:39:25 have a man and for a man to not take responsibility to raise his children ought to be executed you

1:39:33 have a responsibility before god and we don't we don't we don't want to hear that

1:39:37 women's right no no we got the poorest economically deficient people on the planet

1:39:46 the other thing is this is that when that boy mandami came on the scene this nigga is a muslim

1:39:53 he is a

1:39:56 jihadist if you will

1:39:57 intifada if you must

1:39:59 Hamas supporting

1:40:01 anti-Jesus Muslim

1:40:03 and niggas are talking about he got a good program

1:40:05 I don't give a damn how good his program is

1:40:07 he's a Muslim and Jesus is Lord

1:40:10 and I'm voting for him and I ain't telling nobody else

1:40:12 to vote for him

1:40:12 what the hell's wrong with you

1:40:17 I'm tired of the Democrat party

1:40:21 making bitches out of our women

1:40:23 and pussies out of our men.

1:40:25 I'm tired of it. I'm tired. I've had enough of it.

1:40:28 I've had enough of it.

1:40:29 A man needs to stand

1:40:32 up and be a man.

1:40:33 The Reverend never

1:40:35 disappoints. Yeah, I don't know. I think that

1:40:37 was disappointing. Yeah, it wasn't that

1:40:39 disappointing. It wasn't that good.

1:40:42 He used to be funnier. Well,

1:40:43 he did have some better. Not just a Muslim rant.

1:40:46 Anyone can do that. Well, he was

1:40:47 tired of the Democrat Party.

1:40:50 Yeah, well, that part was okay, but he didn't have enough verve.

1:40:54 I don't know.

1:40:55 Verve.

1:40:55 More verve.

1:40:56 Speaking of verve.

1:40:58 Well, before you go there, since you're talking about screwball clips,

1:41:02 this is another one.

1:41:04 I just want to get another one of my predictions out of the way.

1:41:07 All right.

1:41:08 It's not quite getting there yet, but it's going to happen.

1:41:10 This is the drone show mishap clip.

1:41:13 Okay.

1:41:14 A major fail at a drone show over the harbor in Sydney, Australia.

1:41:18 A thousand drones in the sky, almost 90 drones veering off course, dozens plunging into the water.

1:41:23 No one was hurt.

1:41:24 Officials say it was caused by a, quote, unforeseen change in radio frequency.

1:41:28 Am I predicting that somebody's going to take over one of these drones shows with a radio control and attack the crowd?

1:41:37 Can you imagine 100,000 drones coming at you as you're watching one of these displays?

1:41:43 Yeah, I can, actually.

1:41:46 Of course you can.

1:41:48 You know the hackers and the mentality, and somebody's going to do it.

1:41:52 Yeah.

1:41:53 Yeah, yeah.

1:41:56 Okay, local news.

1:41:58 Texas, local news, Texas news.

1:42:01 Oh.

1:42:02 Yeah.

1:42:03 Paxton.

1:42:04 Yes, Paxton.

1:42:05 Your buddy Paxton.

1:42:06 Yeah.

1:42:07 And yeah, you wanted to say something?

1:42:09 And Cornyn.

1:42:09 Yeah, so the runoff is complete.

1:42:12 Cornyn got kicked out.

1:42:15 Yeah.

1:42:16 Sorry, this is an Amy Goodman clip, a real quick one, though.

1:42:18 And in Texas, the state's attorney general, Ken Paxton, backed by President Trump,

1:42:24 defeated four-term incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Republican Senate primary runoff Tuesday.

1:42:31 Paxton has previously been indicted on charges of felony securities fraud

1:42:37 and was impeached from office on allegations of bribery, dereliction of duty,

1:42:43 obstruction of justice and abuse of public trust. Paxton is the first primary challenger to defeat

1:42:50 an incumbent U.S. senator from Texas since at least 1980. The Republican candidate spent nearly

1:42:56 $130 million, making it the most expensive Senate primary in U.S. history. Paxton now

1:43:05 faces Democratic nominee State Representative James Tallarico in the general election in November.

1:43:11 Now, this is the fight to watch.

1:43:13 This is the interesting one.

1:43:14 Tallarico is an interesting person.

1:43:18 Yeah, he's a screwball, isn't he?

1:43:20 Yes.

1:43:21 So he went to seminary school.

1:43:26 So he's a pastor.

1:43:28 He says, I don't know what kind of seminary school he went to

1:43:33 because he's all about the LGBTQ and God is a woman.

1:43:36 And he said a lot of interesting things.

1:43:38 Right, God's a woman, trans are the future.

1:43:42 Yeah, precisely.

1:43:43 All this sort of Texas stuff.

1:43:45 So we're going, yes, well, you know, the Austinites, the Houstonites, the Dallastonians, they love this guy.

1:43:53 Oh, he's a Christian.

1:43:54 Oh, well, he's a Christian.

1:43:55 So, you know, and of course, Paxton is also a Christian.

1:43:58 And here's the line of attack that Tallarico will be using.

1:44:02 Democratic Senate nominee and state representative James Tallarico.

1:44:06 Thank you so much, and welcome back to IOM.

1:44:08 Okay, hold on a second.

1:44:09 Mayakolpa, he said God is non-binary.

1:44:14 I'm sorry.

1:44:15 It's so much better than God is a woman.

1:44:18 Democratic Senate nominee and state representative James Tallarico,

1:44:22 thank you so much, and welcome back to IOM Politics.

1:44:24 So now we know you're going to be facing Republican Ken Paxton in November.

1:44:29 You've wasted no time.

1:44:30 You've come right out and called him the most corrupt politician in the United States.

1:44:35 And I'm wondering how convincing an argument will this be for voters in this Republican state?

1:44:42 Well, I want us to step back and appreciate the gravity of what happened last night.

1:44:47 The most corrupt politician in America just became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate right here in Texas.

1:44:53 Three years ago today, Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party for using his public office, his position of public trust to enrich himself and his donors at our expense.

1:45:08 That kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system.

1:45:14 It's it's why we can't afford anything.

1:45:17 It's why we can't get ahead no matter how hard we work.

1:45:20 For 50 years, billionaire mega donors and their puppet politicians like Ken Paxton have rigged this economy against us.

1:45:29 They've rigged the political system against us.

1:45:32 And I think in this election, you're going to see Texans coming together, Democrats, independents and Republicans to defeat the most corrupt politician in America.

1:45:42 And if we can do that in this race, in this year, in this state, then I think we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

1:45:49 And that's when we can start to unrig the economy, start raising our pay, start cutting our taxes and lowering our costs.

1:45:56 He fails at the end, though.

1:45:58 He's like, we got to get this guy's corrupt.

1:46:01 There's no good.

1:46:01 Once we get that guy out, then all of a sudden we can lower taxes.

1:46:04 How does that make any sense?

1:46:06 Those two don't compete, don't compute.

1:46:09 I think it's going to be an interesting race to watch.

1:46:12 I think Tallarico.

1:46:12 So I have a question for you.

1:46:15 You're the Texan.

1:46:15 Yes.

1:46:17 I asked a question before about Cornyn, and now I'm asking this.

1:46:23 Did anybody do due diligence on Paxton?

1:46:27 Why did he get picked and knighted by Trump?

1:46:32 Paxton sounds like a bad guy to push into this position.

1:46:37 I think this is the Christian vote.

1:46:41 As I said before, Paxson is in the faith office with Paula White and that whole crowd there.

1:46:49 He's in the West Wing all the time.

1:46:53 He's in Trump's face.

1:46:55 He's got Trump's ear.

1:46:56 Yes, sir, Mr. President.

1:46:58 Yes, sir, Mr. President.

1:46:59 Yes, yes, yes.

1:46:59 The lobbyists love him because the guy is a player.

1:47:04 That's why.

1:47:06 He'll do whatever Trump tells him to do.

1:47:08 I don't think he's a great guy.

1:47:11 At all.

1:47:12 No, you've said this before.

1:47:14 Well, I'm answering.

1:47:17 I'm answering, yes.

1:47:18 Yeah, he's a creep.

1:47:19 And he's done, you know, dumb, nasty things.

1:47:23 Well, I don't think he's a good candidate.

1:47:24 Just listening to what you just played.

1:47:26 I don't think so either.

1:47:28 And I don't think he was a very good attorney general.

1:47:30 In fact, I think he was a bad attorney general.

1:47:32 I will say Chip Roy did not become attorney general.

1:47:35 I'm glad about that.

1:47:36 I didn't like that guy either.

1:47:37 I've seen that guy.

1:47:38 I've met him several times.

1:47:39 Swarmy.

1:47:41 Another guy.

1:47:42 No, I don't like Chip Rose.

1:47:43 Smarmy?

1:47:44 Yeah, smarmy.

1:47:45 Smarmy, shwarmy, shwarma.

1:47:47 Whatever.

1:47:48 Don't like him.

1:47:49 I only have one more sequence here I want to play.

1:47:54 Two clips.

1:47:55 This is to show you how dishonest, surprise, surprise, Ms. Now is.

1:48:02 Although I did like the term that was created here.

1:48:07 But they brought in Joe Rogan, and so I have to stick up for Joe.

1:48:11 Donald Trump not helping his midterm chances either with the thug fund.

1:48:16 We are seeing now bipartisan.

1:48:17 I think thug fund is good.

1:48:19 That's a good term.

1:48:21 Well, I don't.

1:48:22 Well, why is it a good term?

1:48:24 Because I don't like it.

1:48:25 It sticks.

1:48:26 It sticks for the Democrats.

1:48:27 Yeah.

1:48:29 Thug fund.

1:48:29 Thug fund.

1:48:30 Yeah, I think I think it works.

1:48:31 What does it refer to?

1:48:33 It doesn't immediately come to what the reason I don't like is because it doesn't bring anything to mind.

1:48:39 OK, well, I thought it was good.

1:48:40 We can disagree.

1:48:41 Donald Trump not helping.

1:48:42 That's not what the clip is about.

1:48:43 Donald Trump not helping his midterm chances either.

1:48:46 With the thug fund, we are seeing now bipartisan outrage.

1:48:50 If you tune out of the news over the long weekend, it has only been building since a contentious meeting at the end of the week.

1:48:56 Republicans are upset.

1:48:57 And other Trump loyalists, including longtime MAGA-allied podcaster Joe Rogan, also speaking out.

1:49:03 MAGA-allied?

1:49:04 Imagine, like, what?

1:49:05 He's MAGA-allied all of a sudden?

1:49:09 Oh, yeah.

1:49:09 Oh, yeah.

1:49:10 But then listen, so it's about the thug fund.

1:49:12 It's about the $1.776 billion.

1:49:17 Oh, it's about that money that's going to go to the people

1:49:20 that got screwed by the Jan 6th A-holes.

1:49:23 The J-6ers, yes, exactly.

1:49:25 And then he brings in Rogan.

1:49:27 Including longtime MAGA Allied podcaster Joe Rogan also speaking out.

1:49:31 That is so crazy.

1:49:32 Imagine like somebody accused you of murder.

1:49:34 Yeah.

1:49:35 And it turns out you weren't guilty of that murder.

1:49:38 And then you sue them and you go,

1:49:39 you can never prosecute me for murder

1:49:41 again and then you just go straight

1:49:43 Uday Hussain and they're like it's cool

1:49:46 this is crazy

1:49:47 Rogan is not feeling it

1:49:49 now I heard that I'm like

1:49:51 is he even talking

1:49:54 about the same thing

1:49:55 no of course not he's talking about the

1:49:57 about the fact that they had

1:50:00 clips in the last show which we didn't play

1:50:01 about Trump not getting

1:50:03 prosecuted for IRS offenses

1:50:05 right but even if it was about

1:50:07 that the clip is disingenuous i pulled the clip didn't trump do a lot of like stock purchases

1:50:15 he's made a fortune he's made a fortune in this settlement with the irs i think that's why a lot

1:50:21 of it came out recently but like he can't be charged with anything or yeah you know they

1:50:26 can't be uh the the latest thing is that he and his kids and his company cannot be audited oh

1:50:32 that's cool that is cool that's my settlement what was the settlement what was the irs being

1:50:39 sued for what was the accusation it was for his the leak the leak of his um tax returns

1:50:47 okay so the irs leaked his tax returns he yeah he said they were reckless and and yeah

1:50:54 settlement of his 10 billion dollar lawsuit 2018 leak of his tax returns to new york times the

1:50:59 in the u.s is forever barred and precluded from examining or prosecuting trump his sons and the

1:51:07 trump organization's current tax filings according to one page document released tuesday that is so

1:51:12 crazy imagine like somebody accused you of murder yeah and uh it turns out you weren't guilty of

1:51:17 that murder and then you sue them you go you can never prosecute me for murder again and then you

1:51:22 just go straight uday hussein yeah so that's so he took a clip completely out of context

1:51:27 and then joe and i think was tom segor they actually stumble upon the little bit that is

1:51:34 also not reported about this settlement and they're like it's cool yeah it's fine now here's

1:51:41 the only thing that the detail of that are is is part of that settlement that it says that um

1:51:47 that like the language that they cannot be for their current tax filings does that mean though

1:51:52 that in the future future filings also fall under that immunity exactly it's only about previous

1:52:00 filings but everyone makes it look like oh he can never be audited again in his life and yeah

1:52:06 it's bullcrap yeah yeah well that's yeah good work media well good work if you work for the

1:52:13 Democrats or people who just hate Trump.

1:52:17 Basically, they've propagated a lie.

1:52:19 Yeah, exactly.

1:52:20 You know, and it's the old you are, I am what I say you are.

1:52:24 Precisely.

1:52:25 Well, that's why we're here.

1:52:29 Yeah, that's exactly right.

1:52:31 If it wasn't for us, nobody would know anything.

1:52:34 Breaking news, yes.

1:52:36 How about us going to Hunter Biden showing up on Candace Owens and the two of them windbagging?

1:52:42 Now, was this a new interview or was it an old interview?

1:52:46 That was unclear to me.

1:52:48 It was unclear to me.

1:52:49 Whether it's Butler or Charlie or these things.

1:52:54 Well, it's definitely after Charlie, so it's got to be fairly new.

1:52:59 Yeah, you're right.

1:52:59 So, glaringly not, right?

1:53:01 It's almost as if they're just saying, F you.

1:53:04 They're not even trying.

1:53:05 We don't even get good psyops anymore.

1:53:07 And that's what I keep saying.

1:53:08 I'm like, it's so disrespectful that we're not even getting good psyops anymore.

1:53:12 We're supposed to believe he survived four assassination attempts, the first president that's ever survived four assassination attempts.

1:53:19 They quietly, they lie to us about things and make a big deal and then they make it want to, you know, it's going to go away.

1:53:24 They're going to keep pretending and telling us that this is a totally normal grieving widow.

1:53:29 Okay, no one's buying that.

1:53:31 Like something's just not right here.

1:53:32 Everyone can see that.

1:53:33 This is not how you would react to your husband being shot.

1:53:36 And this sort of just, I'm fine.

1:53:39 And I feel like two weeks later, I fully accept the narrative.

1:53:41 I have no interest in anything else.

1:53:42 it's over. Let's close it. I forgive him. Let's move on. You're asking us to abandon our common

1:53:49 sense and our humanity is what you're asking us to do. And that kind of seems like where we're at,

1:53:55 like they're insisting on this. And I'm going, where is this going to go? Because we're not

1:54:00 doing the thing they want us to do. Like they're just constantly giving us slop all the time. I

1:54:04 mean, even the recent White House Correspondents Dinner, there was so much theater to it after,

1:54:09 so much theater and now it's kind of okay secret service maybe shot each other and we're just going

1:54:13 to kind of quietly move on but trump needs a ballroom like that's a normal reaction hey there's

1:54:17 a shooting duck hey well we better get that ballroom by the way it's going to cost a billion

1:54:21 dollars now and by the way it's not from donors and by the way we're going to do it like it's

1:54:24 just like it's just the the constant like talk about gas lighting it's it's been this has been

1:54:29 just this and we're not even are we even a year into trump's second term we're a little over a

1:54:36 A little over a year and a second.

1:54:37 And I don't think there's just been.

1:54:39 Okay.

1:54:39 So what I understand from this clip is they think that all of the assassination attempts are fake.

1:54:45 And that Erica Kirk killed her own husband.

1:54:49 Yeah.

1:54:50 Okay.

1:54:50 You got it.

1:54:51 You nailed it.

1:54:52 You pulled it right out of a hat.

1:54:53 Yeah.

1:54:53 Even my wife says, I don't trust Erica.

1:54:58 There's something up with her.

1:55:00 Yeah.

1:55:01 There's something up with her.

1:55:03 i don't go i don't go into we have an agreement about that it's like i'm just not we're not

1:55:10 going to argue about that um but yeah all right and you know and erica she was grooming grooming

1:55:20 some girl great she's very suspicious i think that it's just a i think there's a market for

1:55:27 this kind of thinking no kidding there's a there's a big market and it's just feeding a market and it

1:55:33 doesn't and it's a it's basically and i'd hate to say they're npcs but they're kind of non-playing

1:55:40 characters that are not important no i disagree on the npc part i think you were right about the

1:55:47 first part there's a big market for this see the algos i was talking about earlier and people like

1:55:52 this they like to think this way it's it's a lot more fun i did it for a long time this is why

1:55:59 people say i got a great note the other day i think your texas boomerism and financial security

1:56:06 has clouded your judgment i'm like what does that even mean well one i'm a boomer and i i'm not but

1:56:18 Okay.

1:56:18 There you are.

1:56:18 I'm boomer adjacent.

1:56:20 No, you're a boomer.

1:56:22 You're millennial adjacent or ex-gen or whatever it is.

1:56:26 Yeah, I'm gen X.

1:56:27 You're ex-adjacent.

1:56:28 I'm ex.

1:56:29 I was literally the face of Generation X, but okay.

1:56:31 Three months, three months of boomer territory.

1:56:35 Call me a boomer.

1:56:36 That's fine.

1:56:36 But the funniest one is your financial security.

1:56:40 What?

1:56:40 I look at the road ahead and like,

1:56:45 I'm going to be doing podcasting for a long, long time.

1:56:48 Why do you think I'm podcasting when I go away for a weekend to worship Jesus?

1:56:54 Why do you think I'm still podcasting on a Sunday?

1:56:57 Why?

1:56:57 And a holiday.

1:56:59 We're always working holidays.

1:57:00 On a holiday.

1:57:00 We're killing ourselves just trying to.

1:57:03 We're forced into this job.

1:57:05 Well, no.

1:57:07 And we're not forced into it, but this is our lot.

1:57:10 Yeah, it's our lot.

1:57:12 Same thing.

1:57:12 It's what it is.

1:57:13 I believe our lot is being, we're forced into it.

1:57:16 It's just the way I see things.

1:57:18 It's our lot, but we're forced into our lot.

1:57:22 I mean, hey, it's not a bad job, but financial security?

1:57:29 No, no.

1:57:30 It's a good job.

1:57:30 It's a good job.

1:57:32 We get to ridicule things and make fun of people.

1:57:34 Yeah, it's a fun job.

1:57:35 It's a fun job.

1:57:36 I get this out of the way, Cars for Kids now banned in California?

1:57:39 You know, I had this clip, too, and you've been carrying it over for three weeks.

1:57:44 Yeah, I know.

1:57:45 We knew this.

1:57:47 We knew it years ago.

1:57:49 Thirteen years ago, we knew that this was a Jewish organization in New Jersey.

1:57:54 Yeah, Hasidz from Brooklyn.

1:57:55 That had nothing to do with Cars for Kids.

1:57:58 We are back now with that infamous Cars for Kids commercial,

1:58:01 the jingle that probably just got stuck in your head the second I said the name.

1:58:05 But tonight, the music is stopping in California, where a judge has banned the ads.

1:58:10 Steve Patterson explains why.

1:58:12 That Cars for Kids jingle.

1:58:20 An earworm that lives rent-free in people's heads.

1:58:27 Cars for Kids, a business model you don't understand and a jingle that will haunt you forever.

1:58:32 Nate, 7-7, Cars for Kids.

1:58:35 But if you live in California, a judge ruling that the charity has 30 days to pull the ads from state airways for violating false advertising laws.

1:58:44 The lawsuit was filed by Bruce Puderbaugh, who donated his Volvo after he says that Melody got to it.

1:58:50 But he says he felt misled after learning where the money actually went.

1:58:57 According to testimony from the charity's COO, much of it goes to a New Jersey-based Jewish organization, which uses the funds for summer camps, trips to Israel, even a matchmaking service.

1:59:07 He doesn't care that it's going to Jewish kids. He just wanted to know that because maybe he wanted to send it to poor disadvantaged kids in California, which is what he thought the ads were doing.

1:59:22 The judge finding that children, especially needy or underprivileged children, were not the exclusive recipients of the donations.

1:59:29 The nonprofit calling the decision deeply flawed, saying it's well known that we are a Jewish organization and our website makes it abundantly clear.

1:59:37 Adding that they plan to appeal.

1:59:38 Steve Patterson, NBC News, Los Angeles.

1:59:44 So here's my life. Here's my life.

1:59:47 You bring this clip. I'm praying that I hope we never have to play this clip.

1:59:52 I mean, I had the clip, and I didn't play it.

1:59:54 Yeah, you're looking at the rock.

1:59:56 This, this, yes, I see the clip every single time.

2:00:01 He's recycling the Cars for Kids clip again.

2:00:04 And then, okay, so then you call for it, we play it,

2:00:07 and what's the first thing I get?

2:00:08 WTF, Curry, playing the jingle on the show.

2:00:13 It's John's clip.

2:00:15 It's not me, people.

2:00:17 This is my life.

2:00:18 I remember the best line is that I donated a car to the Cars for Kids, and I never got a kid.

2:00:24 It's not funny.

2:00:27 It's a horrible way to go into a donation segment.

2:00:31 It's probably the worst thing you could ever do before a donation segment.

2:00:36 Well, I'll tell you one thing it does.

2:00:38 It emphasizes something that we don't talk about much anymore, but we've talked about in the past.

2:00:43 Jingles work.

2:00:45 This is true.

2:00:47 We have a jingle expert that's a part of our crew, basically.

2:00:51 He's an ancillary.

2:00:53 He's no agenda adjacent.

2:00:55 Yes.

2:00:56 And jingles work, and we use them for that reason.

2:00:59 Yes, I guess so.

2:01:03 We'll probably do this one then, just to make sure people know that jingles work.

2:01:08 It's not a jingle.

2:01:17 It's the rousiest jingle we have.

2:01:20 Hmm, not very catchy.

2:01:23 With that, I want to thank you for your courage.

2:01:25 Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in cars for kids.

2:01:28 Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora.

2:01:34 Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.

2:01:36 Also in the morning, I'd ship a C-boosting ground feed in the air,

2:01:38 so there's no water, names, and nights out there.

2:01:39 In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.

2:01:41 Let me count you for a second.

2:01:42 Wow, 1385.

2:01:47 low that's very low that's you know what happened she played that stupid clip no that wasn't it

2:01:54 everybody ran away oh i can't hear that jingle it is the worst jingle actually but they work

2:02:00 they work they work we are um we are broadcasting live we do it every sunday and thursday you can

2:02:08 listen to us on the no agenda stream no agenda stream.com and if you want to uh find out how

2:02:14 many times we've talked about that bogus organization or at least the bogus commercial

2:02:19 for the organization go to bingit.io noagenda.clipgenie.com and you can just search k-a-r-s

2:02:27 and you'll see we've been on this for a long time but somehow all of a sudden the mainstream media

2:02:32 i guess they weren't were they not spending enough ad buy on the is that well the cars for kids i

2:02:39 think it was done as a public service i don't think there was any payment out no but maybe that

2:02:44 they wanted them to step it up a little bit because you know they were they were buying a

2:02:49 lot of airtime i don't think they were buying any airtime i thought those are all psas oh that's a

2:02:54 good point i don't know hmm how come we can't get a psa because we don't have any we no agenda for

2:03:03 Your kids protect your kids.

2:03:05 We're not a charity.

2:03:06 No, that's right.

2:03:07 And for good reason.

2:03:09 Because then you can't talk about politics, according to the Johnson Amendment.

2:03:14 You can listen to it.

2:03:17 Now, here's a cool way to listen to us.

2:03:18 Because, you know, people are busy, lots of stuff going on in your life.

2:03:22 However, there are these modern podcast apps.

2:03:25 We are, after all, a podcast.

2:03:26 You go to podcastapps.com.

2:03:28 You get one of these podcast apps.

2:03:31 And then the modern ones, they know when we're going live.

2:03:34 All of these live shows of No Agenda stream, when they're going live, they send out a special pod ping, and you get a notification in your app, just like any other notifications.

2:03:43 Hey, No Agenda's live.

2:03:44 You tap on that, you're listening to a show live.

2:03:46 Even better, perhaps, after we publish the show, within 90 seconds, we're updated on your app, unlike the legacy apps.

2:03:54 Yeah, that's the interesting part to me.

2:03:56 Yeah, because some can take 15 minutes, a half hour, an hour.

2:04:01 Now, there's this one app that a lot of people use, Overcast, which is notβ€”well, theyβ€”Marco is an interesting guy.

2:04:09 He only makes apps for Apple, and he hates me.

2:04:14 Why?

2:04:16 Because he is veryβ€”if you want to talk about woke, the guy is super woke.

2:04:23 I mean, over-the-hill woke, over-the-top.

2:04:28 Is he non-binary?

2:04:30 He could be, I don't know, but probably he never liked the idea of, you know, when we

2:04:37 started podcastindex.org, we said, let me see.

2:04:41 Actually, I should tell you exactly what we said.

2:04:42 What did we put on the website?

2:04:44 We put, we had a statement, the podcast, here it is.

2:04:50 The podcast index is here to preserve, protect, and extend the open independent podcast ecosystem.

2:04:58 And at one point we had in there freedom of speech.

2:05:04 I don't see that on there anymore.

2:05:07 We had that.

2:05:08 But the whole thing was started because podcasts were being deplatformed.

2:05:14 That's why we started.

2:05:14 That's why Dave Jones and I started it.

2:05:16 And he didn't like that.

2:05:18 Oh, you're free speech, huh?

2:05:21 That's the freeze peach people.

2:05:25 Yes, he's one of the free speech people.

2:05:26 He had infected the No Agenda Social, which we both had to bail out from.

2:05:30 Yeah.

2:05:31 I can't remember what the big deal was.

2:05:35 They always used to use the term freeze speech.

2:05:39 So he always has to do things differently.

2:05:42 So we developed a couple of things with Podcast Index and with Podcasting 2.0.

2:05:48 We developed the chapters and transcripts.

2:05:52 And there's 25 other ones.

2:05:55 So we make transcripts of our show and we put that in the RSS feed and then the modern podcast apps pick that up.

2:06:05 If you don't have transcripts and almost every podcast host now delivers transcripts along with, you know, your files.

2:06:14 What Apple started doing is Apple started making transcripts for podcasts that didn't have transcripts, which is, you know, OK, that's Apple.

2:06:24 They want to do that.

2:06:25 The idea is if I have my own transcript, my own, then you should take my transcript.

2:06:31 You shouldn't be using your transcript.

2:06:33 Would you agree?

2:06:34 Right.

2:06:34 Exactly.

2:06:35 There's nothing that makes nothing but sense.

2:06:37 So do you think that once Overcast, Marco's app, started to do transcripts,

2:06:44 do you think that he would use our transcript?

2:06:46 I'm guessing no.

2:06:49 No.

2:06:49 And so here's how the transcript showed up for our previous show.

2:06:55 As the jingle played, the jingle being...

2:07:00 It's Craig Bond and Boss Kill in the morning.

2:07:05 How do you think that showed?

2:07:06 Now, it shows up fine in our transcript.

2:07:09 How does it show up in the Overcast transcript?

2:07:12 I'm sure it's very poor.

2:07:15 Craig Bond and Boss Kill.

2:07:19 What?

2:07:19 Yes, exactly.

2:07:20 Craig, as in Craig.

2:07:22 You're Craig?

2:07:23 Craig Bond.

2:07:24 Bond, you're Craig Bond.

2:07:26 Yes, and you're Boss Kill.

2:07:28 And I'm Boss Kill.

2:07:30 B-O-S-K-I-L-L.

2:07:31 Yeah, use our transcript, Marco.

2:07:35 He's not even listening to this show.

2:07:38 No, no doubt.

2:07:39 Anyway, that's why you want a modern podcast app that doesn't suck.

2:07:43 And we don't have ads.

2:07:46 We don't have ads.

2:07:47 I think the Overcast app has ads.

2:07:50 The ads, unless you pay for it.

2:07:52 See, you don't get ads if you don't pay for us.

2:07:54 If you don't pay for us, then that's your own content you have to deal with.

2:07:57 All we ask for is value in exchange for the value we deliver.

2:08:01 Now, if you got no value from it, fine.

2:08:03 Why are you listening?

2:08:05 If you did get value, then you should probably consider at some point sending that value back to the show.

2:08:10 It's a very simple system.

2:08:11 We've been living by it for over 18 years.

2:08:14 It's called Value for Value.

2:08:17 Now, you can deliver that value to us in time, talent, or treasure.

2:08:21 It's kind of, again, a very simple, simple idea.

2:08:25 And value comes in many different ways when it comes to time and talent.

2:08:31 Many people will organize meetups, also known as, what are they, teen, what is the term?

2:08:41 Teen takeover.

2:08:44 Teen takeover.

2:08:45 No agenda takeover.

2:08:47 no agenda takeover so you can do that um you can help us out with boots on the ground always very

2:08:53 helpful boots on the ground um and man lots of people sending kratom boots on the ground

2:08:58 various various types of feedback most of them saying i've been chewing those leaves forever i

2:09:03 feel great and some like well my mom is loopy but she may be on the synthetic stuff okay but it's

2:09:10 all appreciated we all we take it all into account oh one other boots on the ground i got a boots on

2:09:15 the ground back from our lobbyists about the uh flavored vapes and uh the uh the cdc guy quitting

2:09:24 okay and she uh tapped her network in dc and indeed trump forcing him to approve the flavored

2:09:34 vapes was the reason he quit that was the last straw which seems like an odd hill to die on

2:09:41 Yeah, I'd say it is an odd hill to die on.

2:09:44 I think he wanted to quit anyway.

2:09:47 I think so too.

2:09:48 So we always want to have a nice piece of art

2:09:53 representing the show for our album art,

2:09:55 another thing that we've been using for a long time,

2:09:59 pretty much from almost the beginning of the show,

2:10:02 ever since the first art generator showed up,

2:10:04 Sir Paul Couture doing that,

2:10:06 another great example of value for value.

2:10:08 No, it was Randy, and there was also another guy, Randy.

2:10:13 I can't remember his last name.

2:10:14 We lost him.

2:10:16 He's overboard.

2:10:16 He's dead.

2:10:17 Maybe he's dead.

2:10:18 Randy.

2:10:18 I can't remember his name.

2:10:20 There was an original art generator, which is missing,

2:10:23 and then it kind of just faded,

2:10:26 and Paul Couture took over and did a whole new one,

2:10:29 and now is the king of the art generator.

2:10:32 He is.

2:10:32 He is the king.

2:10:33 But the original one still has some pieces that are lost to time.

2:10:37 Oh, no. And then, remember Drop.io?

2:10:39 Yeah, I remember Drop.io.

2:10:43 You remember? So, I was publishing show notes and art and everything on Drop.io, and that was the big lesson about Silicon Valley.

2:10:50 We woke up one morning and, oh, we've shut it down.

2:10:53 Yeah.

2:10:54 We've sold to, I think it was maybe Facebook.

2:10:56 Yeah, and then all of a sudden you can't use it.

2:10:58 Well, it was gone. All of our content was gone.

2:11:00 That's when we started hosting things ourselves, and lots of producers have stepped up for that.

2:11:06 Anyway, the artwork, we wanted something very traditional.

2:11:09 We typically do that on days of importance, like Memorial Day.

2:11:13 Blue Acorn understood it perfectly and did this dynamite piece

2:11:17 with just an eagle with his feathers,

2:11:20 all like just very energetic piece, like,

2:11:23 yeah, don't mess with America, Memorial Day.

2:11:26 It was a beautiful piece, Blue Acorn,

2:11:29 and we unanimously decided that's the one we want.

2:11:33 Now, a lot of people took this to a very strange level because, hey, I can prompt, why not?

2:11:39 And, you know, it's not appropriate to have thanked the fallen for their courage.

2:11:44 No, Ryan M. Scott, no, that was odd.

2:11:48 Very strange.

2:11:51 We had Memorial Day alien combination.

2:11:54 No, we're looking for Mother's Day, Christmas, Easter, Veterans Day, Memorial Day.

2:12:02 You know, we're looking for something traditional.

2:12:05 And we got it from Blue Acorn.

2:12:07 We also learned that, I think, didn't we get an email from Nesworks?

2:12:15 Yes.

2:12:16 The previous art that we selected.

2:12:18 Yes, Nesworks sent an elaborate email explaining how he uses Photoshop.

2:12:23 Yeah.

2:12:24 Which we suspected.

2:12:26 Yes, that was the flamingo with the drones.

2:12:28 Yeah.

2:12:28 Yeah, and how he did it.

2:12:30 And so it was Photoshop.

2:12:32 It was good.

2:12:32 We love seeing, and we just chose it because it was a good piece

2:12:35 that proves that it doesn't all have to be slopped to get chosen.

2:12:39 Noagendaartgenerator.com.

2:12:41 That is how you support us with your photographic and prompting talent,

2:12:46 and we appreciate that.

2:12:47 We also thank all of our donors.

2:12:51 Of course, they're all producers, every single one of you.

2:12:54 $50 and above.

2:12:56 We will thank everybody

2:12:57 not under $50

2:12:58 for reasons of anonymity.

2:12:59 And we have a special kudos

2:13:03 for people who are able

2:13:05 to support us

2:13:05 with $200 or more.

2:13:07 Not only will we guaranteed

2:13:08 read your note,

2:13:09 but we also give you

2:13:10 an official Hollywood title,

2:13:11 which is the real deal.

2:13:13 You can go to imdb.com.

2:13:14 You'll see thousands

2:13:19 You get an associate

2:13:20 executive producer credit,

2:13:34 Not only will you get your knight ring if you don't have one already, but you will get a very handsome red knight pin.

2:13:40 And you will be admired by many at your Teen Takeover No Agenda Meetup.

2:13:46 And we start with $1,002 from Sir Switcheroo,

2:13:52 Black Baron of the I-4 Corridor, Commodore.

2:13:56 And he's in Orlando, Florida.

2:13:57 And I very much appreciate it.

2:14:01 And he says, ITM, John and Adam,

2:14:03 this order of the heart contribution signifies my love for you guys.

2:14:07 No homo.

2:14:08 John, you have become too agreeable.

2:14:12 This is understandable.

2:14:16 given what just happened to you.

2:14:17 I'm getting a lot of this feedback from people.

2:14:20 I'm apparently becoming too agreeable,

2:14:22 and I'm being pushed around by you specifically,

2:14:27 and I should push back more.

2:14:29 Who else would push you around?

2:14:31 You're like becoming a bully, an egregious bully,

2:14:37 and I'm supposed to, and I'm taking too much of it.

2:14:42 I'm putting up with too much of your mean-spirited bullying.

2:14:48 I wish I could come up with a synonym for bully, but I can't.

2:14:53 Let's read the note and see what he actually says, because your explanation seems a little over the top.

2:15:00 John, you have become too agreeable.

2:15:03 This is understandable given what just happened to you, and I'm not talking about your heart surgery.

2:15:08 Aha! You can't hide behind that.

2:15:10 You experience an immense outpouring of love after your absence.

2:15:15 This is a well-deserved blessing that must have moved you.

2:15:19 However, for the sake of the show,

2:15:21 please lean into your buzzkill vibe to keep Adam sharp and the show spicy.

2:15:27 Adam, try to be nicer to John.

2:15:30 Yeah.

2:15:32 You guys are the best.

2:15:33 No jingles, no...

2:15:35 Well, you know, I can't.

2:15:39 John annoys me, uh, often.

2:15:42 Uh, so, and I, and what?

2:15:45 No, it's not true.

2:15:48 You, you are not in my head.

2:15:51 I'm just saying you can, I, I, I've taken the note at face value.

2:15:59 So try to, I will try to be nicer.

2:16:05 I guess an example of that would be me complaining about you bringing dumb women clips onto the show.

2:16:12 I love the dumb women.

2:16:14 Was I not nice?

2:16:15 I'm just trying to keep people listening to the show is what I'm trying to do.

2:16:19 I'm trying to help the show.

2:16:21 And we should mention something as an aside.

2:16:24 I don't want to change the subject, but it should have been brought up earlier in the show.

2:16:28 We now have an official No Agenda Podcast Insta account.

2:16:33 Insta?

2:16:35 no agenda podcast it's but adam and john are the the are the proprietors i'm not i we want we need

2:18:08 It says install the app or continue on the web.

2:18:11 I continue on the web, and then seven times out of ten,

2:18:17 I cannot get into my Instagram.

2:18:19 Well, I'm looking at your posts.

2:19:00 So what difference does it make whether you post a lot or not?

2:19:03 I can't even see the no agenda podcast Instagram.

2:34:15 I pray the celebration reignites our patriotism

2:34:18 that is badly needed for our country.

2:34:20 Yes, go and see young Washington.

2:34:22 That'll get your spark going.

2:34:24 This donation moves me to the level of Earl.

2:34:27 I would like to be known as Sir Vincent,

2:34:29 Earl of the Rocket City, protector of the GCC.

2:34:32 That's the Gulf Coast Counties, Countries, I think it should be.

2:34:35 Take care and God bless, Sir Vincent.

2:34:38 Okay, we've got that noted.

2:34:39 Title change is on deck.

2:34:41 And I also would like to give a shout-out to NoAgendaShop.com.

2:34:45 They have this, you know, they've had, they're very busy.

2:34:49 They're trying to keep their heads above water.

2:34:51 The No Agenda Shop has been with us for a long, long time.

2:34:55 And they have the No Agenda Shop sticker club.

2:34:58 And I received, they put me on the sticker club.

2:35:01 I received the stickers.

2:35:02 They're really cool.

2:35:03 And we've been a big proponent of stickers.

2:35:06 I don't think toll booths work anymore because now we have the E-ZPass.

2:35:11 and so you just kind of blow through them.

2:35:12 There's still a few toll booths here and there.

2:35:15 Yeah, but you can put these stickers anywhere.

2:35:16 I know, you can't.

2:35:17 Put them on cop cars, you know, all kinds of great places.

2:35:21 Put them on your laptop.

2:35:22 People love the stickers on their laptops.

2:35:24 I advise against putting them on a cop car.

2:35:26 That's not a good idea.

2:35:27 What am I thinking?

2:35:28 But thank you very much, No Agenda Shop, noagendashop.com.

2:35:32 And thank you all for supporting No Agenda, noagendadonations.com.

2:35:36 That is where you can go to support us anytime, any amount,

2:35:38 Whatever you feel like, whatever is valued to you is valued to us.

2:35:43 Noagendadonations.com.

2:35:45 You can even set up a recurring donation.

2:35:47 And again, any amount, any frequency.

2:35:49 Noagendadonations.com.

2:35:50 It's your birthday, birthday.

2:35:54 On No Agenda.

2:35:56 For the past couple of weeks, we've had almost no birthdays.

2:35:59 It's the oddest thing.

2:36:00 Remember to send a note to notes at noagendashow.net if you want to be on the birthday list.

2:36:05 And Dame Cece wishes her beloved brother, Knight of the Cross, Threaded Wheel Stud, a very happy birthday.

2:36:11 And that's the only one we have on the list.

2:36:12 So we say happy birthday from everybody here at the Best Podcast in the Universe.

2:36:16 It's your birthday, yeah.

2:36:19 Title changes.

2:36:21 Turn and face the slate.

2:36:24 Nice changes.

2:36:25 Don't want to be a douchebag.

2:36:28 Yes, indeed.

2:36:29 That is the title change we just discussed.

2:36:31 Sir Vincent now becomes Sir Vincent Earl of the Rocket City, protector of the GCC.

2:36:37 Now, it says Gulf Coast counties, but I don't know whether it should be counties or countries.

2:36:42 But it says counties twice, so I'm going to take that as what it is.

2:36:45 Otherwise, we'll do another make good. No problem.

2:36:47 Congratulations. Thanks to your additional $1,000 in aggregate of supporting the Noah Jenner Show,

2:36:54 which is the best podcast in the universe.

2:36:57 Behold the order of the heart, pure of purpose, right from the start, in the morning, brave and smart, the order of the heart.

2:37:08 Very limited quantities, but we are very proud and glad to welcome Sir Switcheroo as a red knight in the order of the heart.

2:37:19 Sir Switcheroo, of course, is the Black Baron of the I-4 Corridor, and he is a Commodore.

2:37:25 and now also a Red Knight

2:42:24 okay all right uh let's start with uh jordan peterson young men should get their act together

2:42:33 and all listen to the no agenda podcast a little long but sounds very uh very close very close

2:42:42 it's close it's not great not great no and then we have this is morgan freeman i just love these

2:42:48 two guys and this podcast they don't he doesn't say no agenda could have been any podcast this

2:43:02 yeah yeah it's really good just love these two guys and this podcast and there's a some kind

2:43:09 of weird edit in there now i think peterson no no that's that was him that was part of the

2:43:13 well it's no good it's no good we're gonna use peterson peterson is good i like peterson he's

2:43:19 long but it's good we'll use him but we will use him after we do john c devorex tip of the day

2:43:25 okay first of all for the people that are documenting these tips the last tip was was

2:43:40 not it was not mentioned that the badia that i'm talking about has no salt there's no added salt

2:43:45 it's a special version you just said that i i know i'm repeating it because people don't listen

2:43:50 to the donation segment oh they just tune in for the tip of the day they don't listen to this

2:43:56 either but it's beside the point i'm making i'm making it clear and so uh sorry please make that

2:44:02 correct there's another correction involving that tip is that doesn't cut you can't get it in a big

2:44:06 giant bottle it's only a small pack tiny pack tiny pack all right no that's good it's that i'm

2:44:13 excited i have ordered i'm excited to try it it's a correction okay so today's tip of the day

2:44:20 is now i'm looking at these i'm thinking i would we paid is too much but i'm not sure what the what

2:44:28 the cost was on these because there's a million different versions of the of this product and

2:44:34 And you're going to have to try different ones to see which ones you like.

2:44:37 But I'm telling you, the best snack I've run into in the last decade,

2:44:41 freeze-dried blueberries.

2:44:45 Huh.

2:44:46 These things are unbelievable.

2:44:50 They taste like they have the quality of corn pops.

2:44:55 So they're just crunchier than, they're just crunchy.

2:44:59 And you just can't eat enough of them.

2:45:02 In fact, the bag that I got from Trader Joe's, and you can get these at Trader Joe's, and Trader Joe's is in 43 of the 52 states.

2:45:10 So you can go get them there.

2:45:13 You can cross the state line to get them, son.

2:45:15 And so Trader Joe's has them.

2:45:18 But they also, if you go to Amazon, there's about 30 vendors of these things.

2:45:23 And there's all different kinds of freeze-dried fruit.

2:45:26 What is the sugar content per serving?

2:45:29 It's pretty low.

2:45:30 Really?

2:45:30 Blueberries don't have a lot of sugar anyway.

2:45:32 They're a good source of protein.

2:45:36 It's a good source of a lot of things, and they're very low in sodium and low in potassium.

2:45:41 They're an outstanding product.

2:45:42 High antioxidant value.

2:45:44 Yes, high antioxidant.

2:45:46 But the one pack turns out to be one serving, and there's quite a few of them in here.

2:45:53 But you end up, you can't stop eating them.

2:45:56 They're worse than olives.

2:45:56 Oh, olives.

2:45:58 Oh, man.

2:45:59 Olives, I hear you.

2:46:00 Oh, man.

2:46:01 I hear you, man.

2:46:03 Have you ever had the Louisiana pickles?

2:46:04 Louisiana pickles?

2:46:07 I don't know what that is.

2:46:08 What is special about them?

2:46:09 Oh, now, this is a producer, and he does...

2:46:12 You haven't gotten those Louisiana pickles?

2:46:14 No one sent me anything.

2:46:16 Oh, okay.

2:46:17 I'll have him send some to you.

2:46:18 Yeah, send some.

2:46:19 The sweet, sweetish...

2:46:21 Oh, that's great.

2:46:21 Okay.

2:46:22 Anyway, back to your blueberries.

2:46:23 So, freeze-dried blueberries.

2:46:25 Check it out.

2:46:27 Freeze, is this the kind that tries to run down the hotel hallway?

2:46:32 Huh?

2:49:48 For the no-agenda show that we hold so damn dear

2:49:53 dc and dc is looking beautiful the fountains are almost all open we had 28 of them

2:50:03 and we have one in particular a very long lake we call it they're reflecting lake between the

2:50:10 lincoln monument nobody's ever seen anything like it and it was a problem about things and

2:50:17 hundreds of millions was spent the biden administration and the obama administration

2:50:22 and spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get it to work,

2:50:25 and they failed and will be spending.

2:50:27 You'll give me a number.

2:50:28 And for the most part, it didn't work.

2:50:31 I mean, they wouldn't even have water in there,

2:50:34 but when they did, it was just dirty, filthy water that leaked out,

2:50:37 and we got to work on it.

2:50:38 And they were supposed to cost almost 400, think of it,

2:50:41 400 million dollars, because it's like putting the skin on a skyscraper,

2:50:45 but bigger, much bigger, many skyscrapers,

2:50:47 you could almost say, other than for the world.

2:50:49 So I think of it, feet.

2:50:52 so we went to work and over the years i built hundreds of pools i built them every time i

2:51:00 built them i always like to build the olympic size swimming pool and i was very aware of

2:51:08 swimming pool what goes into making a swimming pool 400 million dollars i don't know you never

2:51:16 know with cost overruns and seven minutes later pot us was still talking about his trump lake

2:51:25 the most beautiful blue very thick you think of it as a very sophisticated form of rubber

2:51:32 no leaks no problems and it's beautiful it's called american flag blue that was the color we chose
