There's like three hearings 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: going on in Congress right now. There's also a trial 27 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 3: in Los Angeles that we're keeping our eyes on. It 28 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 3: looks like Meta Google are presenting their case that they 29 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: say they haven't been addicting young people to social media. 30 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 3: Turns out there's a lot of data which suggests that 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 3: they have been doing that. Also, Todd Lines from Ice 32 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 3: is testifying before Congress and he's absolutely schooling Eric Swalwell 33 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 3: on the five year old hoax story. But I want 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 3: to lead with a really, really fascinating wrinkle that has 35 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 3: just emerged in the Epstein documents Saga yesterday evening, newly 36 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: unseen court documents show that Donald Trump called the Palm 37 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 3: Beach police chief about Jeffrey Epstein in two thousand and six. 38 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 3: So this is before he was ever arrested for pedophilia 39 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 3: or for sex trafficking minors. 40 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, or well, we should be precise about what it 41 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 4: is because we don't have he described that phone call. 42 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 4: What we have is we have in twenty nine, not 43 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 4: even that we have. In twenty nineteen, the FBI interviewed 44 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 4: Michael Ryder, who had been the Palm Beach Police chief 45 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 4: at that time, and he apparently told and this is 46 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 4: even blackouted documents, but the Miami Herald is reporting it 47 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: was this guy and he spoke with the FBI and 48 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 4: then told. 49 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: Them that this is how it unfolded. So there is 50 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 2: a chain here. 51 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 4: This is from the memory the recounting of the then 52 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 4: Palm Beach police chief. But he does say that in 53 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 4: July two thousand and six, so that's just when Epstein 54 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 4: is coming under investigation. 55 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: I think, before he's even been indicted. 56 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 4: Yep Trump calls Palm Beach Police and he basically tells them, yeah, 57 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 4: you guys should investigate this guy. He's disgusting. But Ghlen 58 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 4: Maxwell is the really He calls her evil. He says 59 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 4: she's the evil one and he is doing bad stuff. 60 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 4: And he says people in Miami know about it, and 61 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 4: people in New York know about it. And it doesn't 62 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 4: seem like he gave them anything specific, but that he 63 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 4: was encouraging them to look further into it. 64 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, because everybody knows. He said that, everybody knows what 65 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: he's been doing so. This is pick three point twenty two. 66 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: The image displays a page of redacted testimony or statements 67 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 3: related to Jeffrey Epstein, mentioning interactions with Donald Trump and 68 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: Gallaine Maxwell. Trump was one of the very first person 69 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: is revealed by this document. Again, it was from twenty nineteen. 70 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: It was a recollection of the two thousand and six 71 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 3: interaction with President Trump that Trump was one of the 72 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 3: very first people to call when people found out that 73 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: they were investigating Epstein. In two thousand and six, President 74 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 3: Trump is quoted as saying he threw Epstein out of 75 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 3: his club, called the police, and people in New York 76 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: knew Epstein was quote unquote disgusting. Sounds like President Trump. Yeah, yeah, 77 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: it's one of his favorite. 78 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 4: That's like right around when he was going, he would 79 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 4: do this Rosie O'Donnell. 80 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: He would like attack her on entertainment. 81 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 4: Tonightsting she's a slab, she talks like a truck driver. 82 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 3: Trump also reportedly stated that Maxwell was Epstein's operative and 83 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: quote unquote evil, advising to focus on her. So here's 84 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: an image three twenty three Palm Beach Country Club. This 85 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: is a quote from it is a Jewish country club. 86 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 3: A lot of wealthy people are there and they flock together. 87 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: Mar A Lago is a mixture of everyone. Donald Trump 88 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 3: told redacted that he threw Epstein out of his club. 89 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 3: Trump called the Palm Beach Police Department to tell him, 90 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 3: Thank goodness, you're stopping him. Everyone has known he's been 91 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: doing this. 92 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: End quote. So that's the first part. 93 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 3: Now, yesterday we also got a video from Gallaine Maxwell 94 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 3: pleading the fifth again and again and again before uh uh. 95 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 3: It was Comer and Andy Biggs. So that was a 96 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 3: what what we've got this clip here, it's worth it's 97 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 3: worth showing just for fun here because it's interesting seeing 98 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 3: them in their in their native habitat. All right, three 99 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 3: twenty seven, go ahead and throw it. 100 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 5: Up, Miss Maxwell. 101 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: Were you a close friend and confidant of Jeffrey Apstein. 102 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 6: I would like to answer your question, but on the 103 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 6: Advice and Council, I respectfully declined to answer this question 104 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 6: and any related questions. My habeas petition is pending in 105 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 6: the Southern District of New York. I therefore invote my 106 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 6: right silence under the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution. 107 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: Let the record reflect that Miss Maxwell is invoked at 108 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: the Fifth Amendment against self incrimination. 109 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 2: So Chairman Comber confirms this three twenty six. 110 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 5: As expected, like a Maxwell took the Fifth and refused 111 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 5: to answer any questions. This is obviously is very disappointing. 112 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 5: We had many questions to ask about the crime she 113 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 5: and Epstein committed, as well as questions about potential co conspirators. 114 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 3: But it looks like this little game of negotiation that's 115 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: going on behind the scenes with the lawyers. 116 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: Rep. 117 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 3: Andy Biggs, who's running for governor here in the Great 118 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 3: State of Arizona, is going to be the next governor 119 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 3: of the Great State of Arizona, said that Maxwell's lawyer 120 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 3: quote said that she has no indication and would say 121 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 3: so that neither Presidents Trump or Clinton are culpable of 122 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: any wrongdoing. And that's one thing they said in this 123 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 3: opening statement. So Comer said that Maxwell's attorney said she 124 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 3: would quote answer questions if she were granted clemency by 125 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 3: the president. So horse trading going on behind the scenes. 126 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 4: That's tough because when you make it that obvious, like 127 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 4: certainly if just from the political calculation, regardless of what 128 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 4: actually happened, if that's the deal, unfortunate anyone who's sold 129 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 4: on there being wrongdoing. Is not going to buy that 130 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 4: because they'll just say, basically, she sold that story and 131 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 4: returned for a pardon, correct, which makes it very tough 132 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 4: regardless of what truly happened. 133 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know it's great here is You've got 134 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: these newly unearthed documents from the FBI, from the Palm 135 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: Beach police chief saying that Trump was calling him, you know, 136 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: warning about evil, disgusting Epstein and Glene Maxwell in two 137 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: thousand and six. 138 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: Which is funny because Trump. 139 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 4: A thing that's worth worth of note is in twenty nineteen, 140 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 4: President Trump was saying he had no knowledge of anything 141 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 4: Epstein was doing. And so you do wonder what caused 142 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 4: him to frame it that way. I wouldn't be surprised 143 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 4: if maybe it was like he just didn't want to 144 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 4: Maybe he just didn't want people to think he was 145 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 4: a nark or something. 146 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: Well, I will tell you. I mean Palm Beach. 147 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: If anybody knows the Palm Beach area, it is it's 148 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 3: like high school for rich people. 149 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: They all talking, they all know, they all hear the room. 150 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 3: And so it's possible that President Trump just didn't have 151 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 3: direct evidence or direct knowledge. 152 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, he might he had. 153 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: Heard all of the stuff that was going on wanted 154 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 3: them to step in. Also, President Trump has been very 155 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 3: clear about this. 156 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 2: You know. 157 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 3: I think Virginia Gufhrey was working at mar A Lago, 158 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: I think in the spa there or whatever, and Jeffrey 159 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 3: Epstein poached her from his club. He didn't like that, 160 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: and I think he was trying to do that a 161 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: lot of times with more staff than just Virginia. And 162 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 3: so listen, if you're a business owner and another business 163 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 3: is trying to keep you know, poaching your your staff, 164 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 3: you don't like that, and you're gonna put your foot 165 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 3: down on it. So I do think some of it 166 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 3: was sort of a business related thing. Some of it 167 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: was rumor mill.

But it hasn't been really revealing of I 255 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 4: think what a lot of people were hyping that would 256 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 4: get revealed by this. 257 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, well you and I, You and I were very 258 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 3: much in agreement on that that it was gonna be 259 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 3: like underwhelming for people.

But it literally there's no FBI investigation, 266 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 3: there's no nothing, there's no so so literally and we 267 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 3: can attest to this.

It's a 327 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 4: very real one and it's the real reason they want 328 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 4: to do it is because it has free speech on it, 329 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 4: and so they want to ban people who oppose mass immigration, 330 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 4: who highlight grooming gangs by you know, Muslim rapists and 331 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 4: all of that. But they seize excuses for it, and 332 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 4: to some extent a lot like in the UK, they're 333 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 4: using the fact that, like you can use groc to 334 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 4: change people's photos so that they're in a bikini, which 335 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 4: frankly I think grock should be allowed to do because 336 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 4: you can already do that with a photoshop editor, and 337 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 4: it's also like not illegal to do that with like 338 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 4: in a munch of other ways. But it would probably 339 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 4: be easier out if you couldn't use it to make 340 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 4: actual smut. It would make that attack harder to do. 341 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, well, and listen, I just want to be clear. 342 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 3: This is not an attack on Elon. I think he 343 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 3: inherited this problem. The problem was pre existed, and it's 344 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 3: a massive platform with hundreds of millions of users on it. 345 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: There's going to be a lot of bad actors. But 346 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 3: if you put your foot forward and you draw line 347 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 3: in the sand and say, hey, this needs to be 348 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 3: cleaned up, then listen, You're going to generate a lot 349 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 3: of good will and the platform will be much improved. 350 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 3: So that is my request. I think it would be 351 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 3: a very very solid step in the right direction. 352 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 4: The online world moves fast, and it's moving even faster 353 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 4: these days. That's why TikTok approaches teen safety with families 354 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 4: in mind from the start, because discovery and creativity are 355 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 4: both wonderful things, but it's important to make sure that 356 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 4: safety comes first as well. On TikTok, teenagers have over 357 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 4: fifty built in protections right from when they join. Accounts, 358 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 4: routines all start private by default, they're not open to 359 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 4: the entire world, and for those under sixteen, direct messages 360 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 4: are turned off. Only their friends can comment on their videos. 361 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 4: And that kind of approach matters because feeling confident and 362 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 4: comfortable about these platforms your teenagers are on shouldn't mean 363 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 4: digging through a bunch of menus and trying to set 364 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 4: everything up yourself and worrying that you got it wrong. 365 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 4: TikTok is taking a proactive approach. Their protections are built 366 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 4: in from the moment those teenagers join, so that safety 367 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 4: and peace of mind for parents is there right from 368 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 4: the start. All of this is to say, when safety 369 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 4: comes first, discovery and creativity can follow without fear.

The Zoo Sports Club started out as the 418 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 7: Zoo Private Club. We were going to be a private 419 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 7: member's only club. It was designed that way, and we 420 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 7: built our systems and the building and the decorps all 421 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 7: around that business model. But in September of twenty twenty four, 422 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 7: we had back to back hurricanes hit here in the 423 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 7: Tampa Saint Pete area for the first time in decades, 424 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 7: and it wiped out our beaches. It wiped out what 425 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 7: is very very important to those who live here. Too 426 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 7: many lives were negatively impacted, and we started hearing from 427 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 7: those people. We started hearing from employee restaurant and bar 428 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 7: employees who didn't have a job. We started hearing from 429 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 7: the bands that didn't have a place to play. We 430 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 7: started hearing from the community that they didn't have a 431 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 7: place to go to gather, to meet, and to just 432 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 7: enjoy and have fun. So we as a group, myself 433 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 7: and the owners met and decided that we were going 434 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 7: to pivot a ninety degree turn and open up to 435 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 7: the community offer them everything that we have planned on 436 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 7: being a private club. Now we're going to be open 437 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 7: to the public club. We're going to give them an 438 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 7: opportunity to come in and play pool, or throw some 439 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 7: dark or watch some of the incredible local bands. And 440 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 7: it didn't take long for us to realize that this 441 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 7: was the right decision, that we have formed a really 442 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 7: great community based establishment for everybody to come in and enjoy. 443 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 7: There were no rules to who can come in. There 444 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 7: were only rules on how to act once you're there. 445 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 7: And it's worked out very well and we're very proud 446 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 7: of what we built. So that brings us to Sunday, 447 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,479 Speaker 7: where again, you know, it wasn't a political decision. It 448 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 7: wasn't a personal decision. My personal beliefs and political side 449 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 7: of the Aisle I sit on had nothing to do 450 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 7: with any of the decisions I make it work. It 451 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 7: wasn't left or right, it wasn't red or blue, it 452 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 7: was green. It was money. And I had about two 453 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 7: hundred and fifty people in the club, and around two 454 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 7: hundred and forty some odd wanted the All American halftime show, 455 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 7: so that's what I put on. The gentleman who videoed 456 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 7: me there was a friend of his with him, and 457 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 7: once he walked away, the friend came over to me 458 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 7: to continue to try to talk to me about it, 459 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 7: and I explained to him. I said, you know, when 460 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 7: it comes to business, the simple rules, majority rules, the 461 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 7: needs of the many. 462 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 8: So to speak. 463 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 7: He understood. He shook my hand, he went back to 464 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 7: his seated bar and enjoyed the rest of the evening. So, 465 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 7: you know, business is business, and that's what I based 466 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 7: my decisions on when I run my club. 467 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 2: I think that's really well, said Frankie. 468 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 3: And so you're just basically saying, so we had this 469 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 3: private club, A lot of those people are still your core, 470 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 3: your core customers. They made a decision, they said, the 471 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 3: vast majority, it sounded like, sounds like ninety five ninety 472 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: eight percent of them were like, hey, we want to watch, Yeah, 473 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 3: we want to watch the All American halftime show. So 474 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 3: you gave the people what they wanted. But there was 475 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 3: a few you know, riff raff in there that wanted 476 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 3: to cause a stir. And this is what it's you know, 477 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 3: So this was a business decision that makes perfect sense 478 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 3: to me. You're being a good capitalist, you're serving your 479 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 3: customers well. 480 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 2: And I also like the way that you handled that. 481 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 3: You said, don't don't film me, which is just such 482 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 3: a rude thing to do in this day and age 483 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 3: that people got their cell phones out and they want 484 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 3: to they want to make you Internet famous in a 485 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 3: bad way. But I think you know you're you're going 486 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 3: to be rewarded. One because of the way you handled this. 487 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 3: You you haven't been petty.

And you said, hey, they 531 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 3: want to see this show, We're gonna put it up, 532 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 3: no questions ask it. By the way, there was bars 533 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 3: all across America that did the same exact thing. 534 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 2: I mean, Nashville was full. 535 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 3: We got we got inundated with videos from bars in 536 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 3: Nashville and Colorado and other places that we're doing the 537 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 3: same thing. And I will just say that as somebody 538 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 3: who's been through it. Blake can attest as well, Frankie, 539 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 3: that somebody's been through the internet swirl and the churn 540 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 3: and the outrage mob. It all lasts about five minutes. 541 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 3: It literally, it's like five minutes, man, and then they 542 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 3: get onto the next thing, they get distracted by the 543 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 3: next outrage. And these are all miserable people. These are 544 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 3: people that their whole existence online is to just like 545 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 3: throw wrenches into the gears of other people that are 546 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: doing real things. And that's what it sounds like you 547 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 3: guys are doing at the club. You're doing real things 548 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 3: for real people. You're creating a place where where they 549 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 3: can gather, they can feel like a part of a community. 550 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 3: And so God bless you. You did great. And you know, listen, 551 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 3: we put up huge numbers on the on Sunday evening, 552 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 3: huge numbers. 553 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 2: They're bigger than I thought. Actually we're working at a 554 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 2: third party. 555 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 7: Front that I was so happy to see that. 556 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be it's gonna end up 557 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 3: being let's just say fifty million. Okay, let's just say 558 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: it's gonna be fifty million. Might be higher, might be 559 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 3: a little less, but it's gonna be approximately fifty million. 560 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 2: And that's a huge, huge deal. 561 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 3: And so there's a lot of people that are gonna 562 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 3: be emotionally attached to the fact that that was so successful. 563 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 3: And we see it already like people are trying to 564 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 3: say we botted the feed or there wasn't enough comments. 565 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 3: By the way, we ran the numbers, Frankie, and this 566 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 3: is this is funny. We're like almost sixty percent TVs 567 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 3: that we're watching this, So obviously people don't comment when 568 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 3: they're watching on TV device, and you. 569 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: Prove that at your your club. 570 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 3: It was not like people are gonna be able to 571 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 3: jump in the comment section at your club.

I'm not convinced I 624 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 3: believe that number, but let's just assume it's true, which 625 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 3: would be higher than what watched Kendrick Lamar last year. 626 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 3: So they're claiming it it's success. So but I actually 627 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 3: think a lot of people, probably because of the controversy, 628 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 3: might have watched both, or they might have gone back 629 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 3: and watched both. 630 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 2: Maybe they went back and watched ours. But that's the headline. 631 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 3: It's coming from Samba TV, which is different than Nielsen, 632 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 3: so that this is what's crazy. Though this represents a 633 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 3: thirty This is based on Samba's numbers Samba TV, this 634 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 3: represents a thirty nine percent decline in Bad Bunny viewers 635 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 3: when compared to last year's halftime. Okay, so this is 636 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 3: a quote from them. Our latest viewership insights reveal that 637 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 3: forty eight point six million US households tuned into the 638 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 3: Super Bowl, representing a thirteen percent decrease from last year's game. 639 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: So already, I'm kind of like super. 640 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 4: Down, not surprising chi correct Hawks as big a team exactly, 641 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 4: So it just didn't feel like there was as much 642 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 4: buzz about the game, So it made sense to me 643 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 4: there was a decrease from last year thirteen percent decrease. 644 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 3: That follows intuition right there. Okay, but then they're saying 645 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 3: more people watched the halftime show, which it's just possible 646 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 3: people that aren't football fans might have just tuned in 647 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 3: for the halftime. 648 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 4: I think usually the halftime show does shed viewers relative 649 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 4: to the game because that's when people get food. They 650 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 4: might get food, then not everyone care. They do the 651 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 4: big halftime show to hold the people in. 652 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 2: So but this is what's interesting. 653 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 3: So Samba says that while forty eight point six million 654 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 3: people tuned in for the game or households tuned in 655 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 3: for the game. Only twenty six point five million US 656 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 3: households watched the halftime performance, and that's down thirty nine 657 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 3: percent from Kendrick Lamar's show. 658 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 4: This is per them, so an eight a thirteen percent 659 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 4: drop from last year's game, a thirty nine percent drop 660 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 4: which last year's halftime. 661 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 3: Which would follow because we know because listen, I'm seeing 662 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 3: the numbers on the back end, and we're working with 663 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 3: this third party group to gather all the numbers, and 664 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 3: some of this stuff just takes time to come in. 665 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 3: Like we're working with Rob and Parker at rav there 666 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 3: are over seven million confirmed views for their coverage, but 667 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 3: they think they might get to nine or ten when 668 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 3: all the numbers come in from all the like Amazon. 669 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 3: You know, it's it takes a while for this to happen. 670 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 3: So that would fit right that you would think, Okay, 671 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 3: there's this alternate halftime show, the All American halftime show, 672 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 3: and we know that we got real legitimate, like huge 673 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 3: numbers for it, and so Noulty in Breitbart says, the 674 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 3: reason you're seeing preliminary headlines based on Nielsen ratings that 675 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 3: look like this one hundred and thirty five million tuned 676 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 3: into the Super Bowl is due to the difference between 677 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 3: viewers and household Nielsen measures viewers and they use like 678 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 3: an algorithm to do it. Samba TV measures household. Samba 679 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 3: TV also gets its data directly from about fifty million 680 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 3: smart TVs where the owners opted in to have their 681 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 3: viewership habits measured. So that's actually hard data here, So 682 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 3: Samba might be in theory better data. Now that doesn't 683 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 3: mean that Samba TV is superior to Nielsen. 684 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 2: What's that? I just can't believe that there's like fifty 685 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 2: million smart TVs. 686 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 3: Many people probably opt to do that. No, but it's uh, 687 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 3: so both are respected. Multi makes this point. Both data 688 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 3: points are respected in the TV and advertising worlds, and 689 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 3: the data they produce is not seen as either or choice, 690 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 3: but as complementary. At the very least, Samba is using 691 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 3: apples to apples data. What he means by this is 692 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 3: that Samba collected its data the same way for years, 693 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 3: so the comparison from this year's ratings to last year's 694 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 3: has credibility as far as trends, which, in any case, 695 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 3: no matter how you measure it, are way down. 696 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's like it's not that whether or not 697 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 4: it's captures the whole set of viewers, if they're working 698 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 4: with the same pool of TVs, they can at least say, 699 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 4: of the pool of TVs we have, we can reliably 700 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 4: detect the number of viewers went down for the Super 701 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 4: Bowl and then even more for the halftime show. I 702 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,240 Speaker 4: kind of wonder how many people might have just literally 703 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 4: changed the channel because they were wondering, did I accidentally 704 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 4: switch to the Spanish language broadcast, like, you know, it's 705 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 4: always funny. There are just there are tens of millions 706 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 4: of people who are totally out of the loop. So yeah, 707 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 4: they would have totally missed the you know, it's all 708 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 4: in Spanish halftime show. 709 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 2: So but I totally agree, you never know what people 710 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 2: are doing. 711 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 3: Like we saw that Grandma clip from yesterday was so like, 712 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 3: get this off. 713 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 2: She knew it was the Super Bowl. 714 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 3: Like it's not that she didn't, but she just couldn't 715 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 3: understand anything and she didn't like it, and she's like this, 716 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 3: I can you know whatever, And that was the number 717 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 3: one piece of feedback I heard. I actually went on 718 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,439 Speaker 3: with Chris Cuomo and Heeraldo Rivera last night to talk 719 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 3: about this, and they were you know, oh what a 720 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 3: celebration of the mosaic of America. And I was, like, guys, 721 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 3: there was millions of people who couldn't understand a darn 722 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 3: thing and they were not happy about it. Okay, But 723 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 3: so just to reiterate the point, Nielsen is building this 724 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 3: off an algorithm, an equation that they use where they. 725 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 2: Put a multiplier on a sort of a survey that 726 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 2: they do. 727 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 3: This is using actual devices of an actual a pool 728 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 3: of data that they measure year to year to year. 729 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 3: Their data says there was a massive twenty two million 730 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 3: household drop off for the halftime show, and honestly, it 731 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 3: corresponds really really closely with the numbers that we've seen. 732 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 3: Now again I'm gonna I don't we don't have the 733 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,760 Speaker 3: final numbers. I will just say that, like what I'm seeing, 734 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 3: if I'm approximating that fifty million viewer mark is is 735 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 3: not crazy at all. 736 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 2: As a matter of. 737 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 3: Fact, it might be a little low depending on how 738 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,240 Speaker 3: Nielsen and this third party group end up calculating the numbers. 739 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 3: So what we can tell you is that this was 740 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 3: probably the second largest live stream in YouTube history, and 741 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,919 Speaker 3: that's just turning points channel. You had Charlie's. You add 742 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 3: Real America's Voice YouTube, Oaan's YouTube, and TD's YouTube. There 743 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 3: was a couple other random youtubes. You add all those together, 744 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,439 Speaker 3: it very well could have been the number one live 745 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 3: stream event in YouTube history. 746 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 2: And that means you're beaten. 747 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 3: Like the whole country of India that has like what 748 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 3: one point six billion people or something like that, they 749 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 3: had a national. 750 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 2: Evate landed on the Indian moonlanding. 751 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 3: It was the Indian Moon number one. Yeah, it was 752 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 3: number one, and then there was like some I think 753 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 3: number two was like a little mostly it's a lot 754 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 3: of World Cup. 755 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly high, But of course keep in mind some 756 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 4: of those might have alternate streams, just as ours did. Sure, sure, sure, 757 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 4: I think I think it was a big I think 758 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 4: it was a big win for us overall to be 759 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 4: on a million different platforms. 760 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 3: You just you get the whole, yeah, in the community 761 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 3: coming together. Yeah, you can view you can view it 762 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 3: the way you want. We're still haven't got TBN. TBN 763 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 3: was our provider, our platform that had the most TV, 764 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 3: like the traditional Cave. 765 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,879 Speaker 2: It's like seventy million. Yeah, so they they they had 766 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 2: the most. 767 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 3: So if you were kind of old school and you 768 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 3: just want to switch the channel on your cable. 769 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 2: That was the easiest option. And we still don't have 770 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 2: those numbers. 771 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 3: So I'm telling you the numbers are big, big, big, big, 772 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,760 Speaker 3: and talking to some of the people in the media world, 773 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 3: they they basically described this as a tectonic shift that 774 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 3: the halftime show will never be the same again. 775 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 2: Listen. I feel bittersweet about that. I I love. 776 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 3: That we have institutions in the country still that everybody 777 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 3: tunes in for. But if you're going to disrespect such 778 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,959 Speaker 3: a huge swath of the country and whether you meant 779 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,440 Speaker 3: to do it or not, again, no agenda here, no hate, 780 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 3: but whether you meant to do it or not, they 781 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 3: felt disrespected, they felt disregarded, they felt forgotten, and so 782 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 3: they made a choice, and we made a choice to 783 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 3: provide something that they could tune in for. 784 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 2: For more on many of these stories and news you 785 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 2: can trust, go to Charliekirk dot com.
