1 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: I think there might be none, because they're very good 2 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: book artists. That's why for forty seven years they've been 3 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: both of the presidents and they haven't done the job. 4 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 2: And people are. 5 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: Living in hell. 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 2: You live in that country, they're living in hell. 7 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: No, I think that forty seven years of this stuff 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: is long enough. They're at the weakest point they've ever been. 9 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 2: They have no navy, they. 10 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: Have no air force, they have no anti aircraft weaponry, 11 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: they have no radar, they have no communication. 12 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 3: Donald Trump, it's not a diplomatic assessment. That's just more 13 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 3: accurate foreign policy summary, probably one of the most accurate 14 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 3: ones that we've heard in decades, and delivered it in 15 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 3: just a couple of sentences. 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 4: He's not wrong. 17 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 3: He said, they're very good bull crap artists. They have 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 3: been this way for forty seven years. They've been bull 19 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 3: crapping other presidents, and they're not going to do it 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 3: to him. He also went on to say that the 21 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: people are living in hell, and he said it about 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 3: the Iranian people, not the regime, and that distinction obviously matters. 23 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 3: He's making it clear that the government and the government 24 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 3: that has been terrorizing its own citizens for nearly fifty years. 25 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 3: That's who he's going after, not the people that are 26 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 3: trapped in it, but the government there that have keeping 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 3: them trapped. And today's day clock is ticking hard. Deadline 28 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 3: eight o'clock tonight. It includes bridges and all of our 29 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 3: round power plants as well. 30 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens as we 31 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 5: get closer to eight o'clock this evening in Trump's deadline. 32 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,279 Speaker 5: You know, he put out some other tweets this morning 33 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 5: talking about how he's going to you know, doesn't want 34 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 5: to destroy their civilization, but it looks like that's what's 35 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 5: going to happen. And of course people are re into 36 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 5: all sorts of ridiculous stuff. Oh Trump, that means Trump 37 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 5: is planning on dropping a nuclear bomb. No, that's not 38 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 5: what he's talking about. Oh, he's talking about committing war 39 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 5: crimes against civilians. No, that's not what he's talking about. 40 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 5: He's talking about taking out their infrastructure and taking about 41 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 5: their leadership and taking out their military. And no, it's 42 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 5: not a war crime to you know bomb, you know, 43 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 5: power plants and bridges, those are used by the military. 44 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 5: How does the military get their power? Obviously there's going 45 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 5: to be a power plant somewhere, and certainly the military 46 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 5: uses bridges, so those are all legitimate targets. 47 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: It will be. 48 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 5: I mean, you you think that Iran thinks Trump's bluffing 49 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 5: on any of this come tonight. 50 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: I don't see that as being the case. 51 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 5: I don't think that anybody realistically believes Trump is bluffing 52 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 5: on his eight pm deadline that's coming up tonight. 53 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 3: US and Israeli airstrikes have continued hitting targets inside Iran 54 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 3: bridges and railway infrastructure, and Israeli even warned Iranians in 55 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 3: Farsi not to use trains, so that indicates that maybe 56 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 3: trains or railways maybe future targets. And then you've got 57 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 3: the Iranian officials calling on there are young people to 58 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 3: form human chains around power plants and bridges and other 59 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 3: infrastructure as symbolic protection. 60 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 4: How sick is that? 61 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: Hey, people go get in front of that so they 62 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: don't vomit. Yeah, this has been done human shields. 63 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 5: This has been done in that part of the country forever. 64 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 5: I mean, we remember the two Wars with the Wrack 65 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 5: Saddam Hussein used human shields, and you know the Palestinians, 66 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 5: you know famously, would you know, build their headquarters and 67 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 5: you know, arms storage facilities beneath schools and hospitals. This 68 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 5: is typical in that part of the world to use 69 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 5: civilians as human shields and as propaganda. But let's be 70 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 5: honest about this. The Iranian regime is not very popular 71 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 5: with the Iranian. 72 00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: People, right. 73 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: People are gonna be like racing to do that now, 74 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: thank you. 75 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll pass. 76 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 5: I don't see a whole lot, you know, swells of 77 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 5: people coming out from the civilian population and following what 78 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: their leaders are asking them to do and put themselves 79 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 5: in harm's way. 80 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 2: It's just it's just not gonna happen. Nope. 81 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 3: And you've got probably one of the most compressed diplomatic 82 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 3: timelines in modern history. 83 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 4: He is telling them it's eight o'clock tonight. 84 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: Okay, we're just a few hours away from that, so 85 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 3: they better come to the table with something. 86 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 2: Yeah. 87 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 5: So let's keep in mind too, because I saw some 88 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 5: other chatter on social media that's like, well, what else 89 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 5: can we do? Haven't we already been doing that? 90 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: No? 91 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 5: The American military and the Israeli military, for the most part, 92 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 5: have been focusing on military targets, tanks, and rocket launchers 93 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 5: and missile factories and drone factories, and you know, underground 94 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 5: bunkers and leadership bunkers and those sorts of things. We 95 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 5: really haven't touched other than the one time that Israel 96 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 5: did it. We haven't touched their power plan. We haven't 97 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 5: touched their water infrastructure, or their or their roads or 98 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 5: their railways. And that's the threat that Trump is putting 99 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 5: forth in the eight pm deadline tonight, which is just 100 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 5: less than nine hours away. 101 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: So you've got them holding firm and also indicating negotiations 102 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 3: are happening at the same time, so you have maximum pressure. 103 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 3: Plus the door is open and he's still looking to 104 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: get a deal done, but the clock is ticking. 105 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 4: Listen to this. 106 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: Essentially, they have till eight o'clock tomorrow night, Eastern time. 107 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: But we are dealing with them. 108 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: I think it's going well. 109 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 2: Mister Whitcoff is here. 110 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: And JD's involved in the dealing. Mister Whitcoff is sitting 111 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: right here, and I think it's going fine. But we'll see. 112 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: You have to understand, we've been dealing with these people 113 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: for forty seven years. I'm standing here with a much 114 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: more powerful run as of a month ago, not anymore. 115 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: Right now, they are decapitated. But I'm standing a month 116 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: ago with a much more powerful around than it was 117 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: at any point during forty seven years. This should have 118 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: been handled by seven presidents, a lot of presidents. 119 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 3: So you've got his ultimatum and that should force them. 120 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 4: To negotiate seriously. 121 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: Although he did extend the timeline before. Are they thinking 122 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: he's going to do that again? 123 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? 124 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 5: Possibly, And I think if Trump thinks that there is 125 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 5: some progress in negotiations, or that Iran and whatever leadership 126 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 5: is left is more ameniable to some sort of settlement 127 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 5: along the lines of the fifteen point plan that he 128 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 5: presented them, I think it was last week. Yeah, I look, 129 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 5: Trump is unpredictable. We talked about this at the beginning 130 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 5: of the show. We went through how you know Trump's 131 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 5: famous book and the Art. 132 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: Of the Deal. That's how he sees his entire life. 133 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 5: Everything is a negotiation, Everything is a deal to get done. 134 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 5: Everything is transactional. You give me this, I give you that. 135 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 5: I don't care who you are and don't what your 136 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 5: deal is. This is a transaction. You give me something, 137 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 5: I'll give you something in return. And this whole process 138 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 5: is going to be a negotiation, and Trump's pushed deadlines 139 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 5: back before shoot, before this, the bombing even started a 140 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 5: couple of months ago. Now, Trump had said, well, I 141 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 5: think we'll give him a couple of weeks, and then 142 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 5: it was like three or four days later that we 143 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 5: started the bombing process. So this is we talked about 144 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 5: earlier on the show too. Deciphering the truth is really 145 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 5: really tough. Trump's gonna say a lot of things that 146 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 5: may not be true because he's trying to keep everybody 147 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 5: off base. He's trying to keep everybody guessing. He doesn't 148 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 5: want anybody to know what he's thinking, not our journalists, 149 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 5: not the American people, certainly not our adversaries. So whether 150 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 5: or not this deadline, anything happens after this deadline tonight, 151 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 5: that is really the big question in all of this. 152 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 3: So you've got the Democrats, you know, they're calling Trump 153 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: reckless for doing. 154 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 4: This, and then there's been a. 155 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 3: Resurface clip of Hillary Clinton and she's actually saying she 156 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: would do the exact same thing. 157 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: Listen to this. 158 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 6: I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, 159 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 6: we will attack Iran, whatever stage of development they might 160 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 6: be in their nuclear weapons program. In the next ten years, 161 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 6: during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, 162 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 6: we would be able to totally obliterate them. That's a 163 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 6: terrible thing to say, But those people who run around 164 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 6: need to understand that, because that perhaps will deter them 165 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 6: from doing something that would be reckless, foolish, and tragic. 166 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 3: So you've got the foreign policy establishment agreeing with Trump's 167 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 3: iman strategy all along, they just lack the resolve or 168 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: fortitude to execute it. 169 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, look, any complaints from the Democrats that have been 170 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 5: in office a long time or just a bunch of bs, 171 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 5: because they were saying the same thing that Hillary was 172 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 5: twenty and thirty years ago. That was the same thing 173 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 5: that Bill Clinton was talking about in the nineties. There's 174 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 5: plenty of quotes from Chuck Schumer historically talking about, in 175 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 5: no uncertain terms, can I run on ever have a 176 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 5: nuclear weapon? Lots of historical quotes from Democrats over the 177 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 5: years talking about how they will not let Iran get 178 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 5: a nuclear weapon or threaten American lives and bases in 179 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 5: the region or its neighbors. And now all of a sudden, magically, 180 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 5: because Trump does something about it, you'll see Democrats that 181 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 5: will lose their mind and be like. 182 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: Oh, this is the worst thing I've ever heard. I 183 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: can't believe we're doing this. Come on, you were saying 184 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 2: the same thing back in the day. Don't give me that. 185 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 3: It would be a great question if, by chance, Hillary 186 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: Clinton was in any sort of participation level of the 187 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 3: being the Democrat nominee, right, because then the moderator just 188 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 3: has one question, Hey, you said you'd attack Iran as well. 189 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 3: Trump did a attack Iran. What would you have done differently? 190 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: Yeah? 191 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 4: Set her up right there. 192 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 5: Look, I think it was last week or the week before. 193 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 5: There are people out there that are floating Hillary Clinton's 194 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 5: name to be the Democrat nominee in twenty twenty eight. 195 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 5: So the scenario, casey, the scenario you just described may 196 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 5: end up happening here in just a couple of short years. 197 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 4: And what do you think the answer would be? Look, 198 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 4: it's gonna sound like. 199 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 5: This Hillary Clinton. And I've got a lot of problems 200 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 5: with Hillary Clinton. Thinks she's a terrible human being. Disagree 201 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 5: with her on many of the issues. But one thing 202 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 5: she is not as dumb, and one thing she is 203 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 5: not is a terrible politician. She is a very good politician. 204 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 5: And she is very smart, and she will have some 205 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 5: sort of well crafted statement that will come across as 206 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 5: as pretty darn good in political terms. 207 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: So it was very odd the juxtaposition yesterday seeing Donald 208 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 3: Trump uh trash talking terrorists with the easter bunny right next. 209 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: To her two days ago, Sunday, two days ago. 210 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 3: But here he is talking to kids about Biden's auto pen. 211 00:10:49,880 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 7: He was a he takes I handed to his guy. 212 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 4: You know what this reminds me of. 213 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 3: I like the fact that he's not talking baby talk 214 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 3: to them. He's just that he's being himself. And you 215 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 3: know what he would do. He would follow around this 216 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,599 Speaker 3: big machine. You know what that machine was called. He 217 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 3: was called an auto pen. Like they don't have any 218 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 3: idea what he's talking about, not at all. 219 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 5: These kids were like seven eight years old and they 220 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 5: were at the White House for the annual Easter egg. 221 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 4: What are you coloring? Oh, that's a nice tree, junior. No, 222 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 4: he's like he's. 223 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 5: Being himself, right, He's talking to him like they're the 224 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 5: press or anybody else that he constituents. You know, when 225 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 5: he was on the campaign trail and you show up 226 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 5: at the coffee shop and talk to the people sitting there. 227 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 5: He's talking to the kids the exact same way, and 228 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 5: they're just like, hey, dude, can I just paint my 229 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 5: Easter eggs and maybe get a chocolate bunny. I don't 230 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 5: know what an autopen is, but you're right. Give Trump 231 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 5: a little bit of credit for not treating them like kids. 232 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 5: Trump treats everybody the same. He's there to perform for them. 233 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 5: I am going to tell you how great I am 234 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 5: and how all of my adversaries and enemies are big 235 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 5: fat idiots, even if you're just a seven year old. 236 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 2: That's the speech you're getting this morning.

Look on the last break, I just said 245 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 5: a couple of good things about Hillary Clinton, even though 246 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 5: I my problem said it I set up, but I created, 247 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 5: But I was honest about him. So we're honest on 248 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 5: this show, and unfortunately, my problem today is with myself. 249 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 4: What two weeks ago, we had a lot of problems 250 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 4: with you? 251 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got problems. 252 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 5: Two weeks ago on this show, I was talking abot 253 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 5: Major League Baseball and their new ABS system, which is 254 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 5: kind of this electronic replay for balls and strikes, and 255 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 5: I was totally against it. I said, it's gonna slow 256 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 5: the game down. That's what I was worried about. More 257 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 5: than anything. They just put the pitch clock in a 258 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 5: few years ago. It's been great for baseball. I was 259 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 5: afraid ABS would slow the game down. I was wrong, 260 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 5: and it turns out ABS is one of the great 261 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 5: new things. 262 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: It is awesome. 263 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 3: It's totally changing Major League Baseball. So what you're saying 264 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: is that your problem is with you. 265 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh no, I'm the problem today. I'm the problem. 266 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: Happy to admit that because. 267 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 5: We're honest on this show, and I can even call 268 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 5: myself out when I was wrong. I was totally wrong 269 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 5: about MLB and the ABS system. Coming roll back. 270 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 3: That hot take, Okay, So MLB they introduced the Automated 271 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 3: Ball Strike Challenge System and it lets batters and pitchers 272 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 3: and catchers challenge a ball or strike using this technology. 273 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,479 Speaker 4: It does add. 274 00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 3: A new strategic layer, right because now you wellctually the 275 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 3: teams can decide when and how to use the challenges. 276 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 4: It's part of the strategy. 277 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 7: Now. 278 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 2: It has turned into a game within the game because 279 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: either the picture or the batter can call for the 280 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: challenge by tapping on top of their on top of 281 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: their well cap if they're the picture, or their helmet 282 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: if they're the batter. 283 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 5: And immediately I'm shocked at how quick it is. And 284 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 5: they show the results on the JumboTron. They put up 285 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 5: the little box, they show where the ball went, They 286 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 5: see if the if the you know, the ump was 287 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 5: right or wrong. 288 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: The crowd goes crazy, loves it. 289 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 5: These umpires get publicly shamed in front of forty thousand 290 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 5: fans and millions watching at home. 291 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 2: It has really created this kind of game within a game. 292 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 4: There was a I can take bets on when they're 293 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 4: going to challenge or not. 294 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 2: I didn't even think about that. I didn't even think 295 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 2: of the. 296 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 4: Game within the game within the game. 297 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: Betting on the ABS system. Man, I was so wrong 298 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: about this. No, it really is fun. 299 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 5: There was an umpire in a game I think it 300 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 5: was just last week that got like eight or nine 301 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 5: nine of them wrong, so that each team gets two challenges, 302 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 5: but if you're right, you don't have to give up 303 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 5: one of your challenges. 304 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: So a small guys, So as long as you're right, you. 305 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 5: Can just keep tapping on your head and they could 306 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 5: keep going and the upfire behind the plate looks like 307 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 5: a total fool and the crowd loves it. 308 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: It's it has. 309 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 5: Been so good and so entertaining for Major League Baseball, 310 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 5: and I just love everything about it. 311 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 3: You gotta wonder if any of these umpires are going 312 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 3: to be put on PIPS performance improvement plans if they 313 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 3: keep getting bad calls that the uh, you know, the 314 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 3: ABS is saying you were wrong. 315 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, And again, the big part of this is they 316 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 5: do it so quickly. That's what was really surprising to 317 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 5: me because I've been at some minor league games, and 318 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 5: by the way, Minor League Baseball has been trying this 319 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 5: out for a couple of years. 320 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 2: It was not that quick. 321 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 5: You kind of had to sit there and you were 322 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 5: waiting kind of like an instant replay, and either the 323 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 5: you know, NFL or the NBA. You kind of waited 324 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 5: for a long time. You know, sometimes it was quicker 325 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 5: than other times. But this ABS system and like they 326 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 5: put it up on the video boards in the stadium 327 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 5: so everybody can see it, and if it goes, you know, 328 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 5: in the home team's favor, the whole crowd cheers and 329 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 5: everybody's excited. It is like this game within a game. 330 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 5: It's just it's just become so so entertaining. 331 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 4: Well, you're not the. 332 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: Only one who agrees. This is Bill Simmons from the 333 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: Bill Simmons Podcast. He says, the ABS is a home 334 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 3: run for mut. 335 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 8: Which has completely changed baseball in five days. It's changed 336 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 8: the experience of watching it. I think it's made it better. 337 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 8: Always something to get upset about. Either the initial call 338 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 8: can be the worst call, and you're mad at the 339 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 8: umpire that you can't believe you missed it.

But what's interesting is 343 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 8: how the fans react to it, where it's like, oh, 344 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 8: that's not a striker, and they'll show it and it's 345 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 8: like not a strike out. The fans like cheer like 346 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 8: a like a hit happened. I think this has been 347 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 8: a home run.

I'm proud of you for admitting that. 356 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 2: Though, Hey, I don't. 357 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 5: Have a problem with that. Look, I'm excited. Major League 358 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 5: Baseball's have in a moment. Everybody, you know, go back decades. 359 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 5: It used to be America's pastime and Major League Baseball was, 360 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 5: you know, the number one sport in the country, and 361 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 5: then you know, football took over baseball a long time ago, 362 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 5: and then during the era of Michael Jordan in the nineties, 363 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 5: the NBA became the number two sport and baseball fell 364 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 5: to number three and was there for you know, twenty 365 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 5: or thirty years. But really just the last five, six, 366 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 5: seven years, major League Baseball has really made a great comeback. 367 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 5: The NBA has been you know, stepping all over their 368 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 5: own junk and can't get out of their own way 369 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 5: and been a total disaster.

But that's you know, 420 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 5: electrolytes for your recover. And then the level of competitiveness 421 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 5: that you must be to challenge people to underwater swimming 422 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 5: races when you're on vacation.

In two thousand and six on 470 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 10: net favorability? Which party you like more? Dems are hit 471 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 10: by eighteen. Republicans are actually ahead on net favorability at 472 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 10: this point by five points. So Democrats are just simply 473 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 10: put running behind their previous benchmarks, and they'd be running 474 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 10: well ahead of them if they want to take back 475 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 10: the United States Senate. 476 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 2: Given that map. 477 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 5: Can be clear, both parties are wildly unfavorable right now. 478 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 2: However, Democrats are even more unpopular. 479 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 3: CNN reporting Republicans are leading in net favorability by plus 480 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 3: five points ahead of the twenty six mid terms. Jeeves, 481 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 3: So all of that talk you're hearing about, oh, it's 482 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 3: just it's going to be a slaughter in the midterms. 483 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 3: Democrats are coming back, Republicans are going to lose the 484 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 3: House not according to CNN. This is really huge, especially 485 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 3: given back in twenty eighteen at this point Democrats were 486 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: at plus twelve and now Republicans are plus five. 487 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,239 Speaker 4: This is a huge realignment of what's going on. 488 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, so keep in mind this is what usually happens 489 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 5: historically is that when one party comes into power wins 490 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 5: the presidency like Trump did in twenty twenty four, what 491 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 5: almost always happens in the following midterms two years later 492 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 5: is the party out of power usually makes some gains. 493 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 5: Sometimes it's really big gains, but that's the historic precedence. 494 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 5: So it is likely that Democrats will get some gains 495 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 5: in this midterm election this year. 496 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 2: But for all of the whining and moaning. 497 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 5: Out there about like you said, Republicans are just going 498 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 5: to get killed in the midterms, this poll shows that, 499 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 5: at least from a national perspective, the Democrats are viewed 500 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 5: even worse than the Republicans are viewed right now. Now, 501 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 5: the devil in the details always comes down to each 502 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 5: individual race in each you know, for each district in 503 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 5: the House and each race, you know, for the states 504 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 5: in the Senate, because as traditionally has always been the case, 505 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 5: the American people are. 506 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 2: Like, Congress stinks, I hate Congress. Throw all the bums out. 507 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 2: What about your congressman? Oh no, I like my congressman guy. 508 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 2: Not my guy, my guys, one of the good my guys, 509 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 2: the only good guy. 510 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 5: I had a five hundred and thirty five of my guys, 511 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 5: the only good guy. So so, you know, the American 512 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 5: people tend to be a little a. 513 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 2: Little schizophrenic when it comes to things like this. 514 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 3: But the other thing you need to point out, it's 515 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 3: only plus five, which really says that both parties are underwater, 516 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 3: and with the midterms coming, they're shaping up to be 517 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 3: very interesting, especially with the war going on and a 518 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 3: moon launch that kind of tends to frame things a 519 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 3: little differently for people. However, see and unpublished their poll, 520 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 3: and it does say that there is a widespread voter 521 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 3: frustration with Washington overall, not just one side, and voters 522 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 3: are ranking their issues like the economy, healthcare costs, and 523 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 3: governance performance and it doesn't look good really for either party. Well, 524 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,719 Speaker 3: it's kind of like, I like you guys, you're the 525 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 3: lesser of the two evils. 526 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 5: Well, whichever party is in power, and keep in mind, 527 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 5: Republicans are in power across the board, White House, House, Senate. 528 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 5: We got it all for the Republicans right now. But 529 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 5: the party in power is always the one that is 530 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 5: judged by the way the American voters feel at that 531 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 5: moment in time when it comes to the election. So 532 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 5: look at things in this country right now, and good 533 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 5: or bad, the Republicans will end up getting credit for it, 534 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 5: whether they deserve it or not. But you sit here 535 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 5: and say, okay, what's good? Okay Trump? You know he 536 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 5: did close the border. We are deporting a lot of 537 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 5: illegal aliens. And before this, you know, war with Iran. 538 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 5: Foreign policy was great. We were getting what we wanted 539 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 5: on tariffs as far as negotiating with other countries. We 540 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 5: got what we wanted out of Greenland. We you know, 541 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 5: snatched Maduro from Venezuela and put them in a New 542 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 5: York City jail as in one of the most incredible 543 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 5: military operations ever. Okay, those are the good things. Now 544 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 5: let's go to the bad things. Life is pretty unaffordable 545 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 5: for a lot of Americas in this country, and as 546 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 5: James Carvell, you know, advisor to Bill Clinton, famously said 547 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 5: in the nineties, it's the economy stupid, And that may 548 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 5: be one of the most profound yet simple and concise 549 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 5: political statements ever. Americans want a solid economy, and every 550 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 5: other poll that we've seen about what's most important to Americans, 551 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 5: the number one thing and sometimes the number one, number two, 552 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 5: number three, and number four things in some shape or 553 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 5: form have to do with the economy. Prices are out 554 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 5: of control, whether it's you know, housing prices still unaffordable 555 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 5: for too many. Taxes, especially property taxes are out of control. 556 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 5: Electricity bills are out of control right now. Gas prices 557 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 5: are way up in costing Americans a lot of money. 558 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 5: Healthcare cost whether it's what you pay for health insurance 559 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 5: or what you pay do you have surgery or go 560 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 5: to a doctor's appointment, or for your prescription drugs. It 561 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 5: is the cost of living in this country. So whether 562 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 5: you want to call that jobs or the economy, or 563 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 5: healthcare or inflation, it all is in this huge umbrella 564 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 5: of cost of living. And that is the big problem. 565 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 5: That is the single challenge that Republicans. 566 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 2: Have right now. And if they can't make some sort 567 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 2: of real concrete movement on that before November, despite what 568 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 2: the c on end poll says, despite what any of 569 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 2: us really wants to have happened, they are going to 570 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 2: run into some real serious troubles. 571 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 3: Artemis two, the crew completed their lunar fly by and 572 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 3: one of the things that they experienced was a total 573 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 3: solar eclipse where the moon fully blocks the sun. Of course, 574 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 3: they took a lot of pictures of them. You can 575 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 3: check a lot of them out online. And how about 576 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 3: that really high quality picture of the moon that was incredible. 577 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 4: Who knew there was a red spot on the moon? Yeah, 578 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 4: so auburn colored area. 579 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, just released this morning. 580 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 5: There it's what they're calling the highest quality video images 581 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 5: of the moon in history. As Artemis flew by, and yeah, 582 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 5: we look up at the moon, we got pictures of 583 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 5: video and it's just shades of gray, but it was 584 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 5: really interesting. It showed like some dark purples and this 585 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 5: kind of rust color as part of the moon as well. 586 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 5: Just really some incredible images that have been coming. 587 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 3: So you've got the NASA chief and he says that 588 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 3: the Artemis program picking up where Apollo left off. 589 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 9: We're going to turn the moon base into the proving 590 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 9: ground for the capabilities and the technologies needed to bring 591 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 9: astronauts home from Mars someday. 592 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 2: Everyone knows about Apollo. How is Artemis different from the 593 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 2: Apollo missions. 594 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 9: The Artemis program picks up where Apollo left off, not 595 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 9: to return to the Moon to plant the flag and 596 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 9: pick up the rocks again, but to build an enduring presence, 597 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 9: to build a moon base so we can realize the 598 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 9: scientific and economic value of being on the lunar surface. 599 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 9: So you know, putting that like practical terms on the 600 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 9: International Space Station, which in itself is another extraordinary engineering accomplishment. 601 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 9: I mean, more than a quarter of a century we 602 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 9: have kept humans continuously alive in Lower Thorpe. But I mean, 603 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 9: think about it, if you're twenty five years older, younger, 604 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 9: there hasn't been a time you've been alive that we 605 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 9: haven't had an American in space above you. Right. Pretty cool. 606 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 3: So it's a proving ground for Mars. This entire mission 607 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 3: the Moon, not the destination. It's literally going to be 608 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 3: a training facility. And every mission that works on the 609 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 3: Moon is a step toward the first human footprint on Mars. 610 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 3: And that's what the Administrator of NASA was talking about 611 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 3: he's thinking in generations, not just news cycles. 612 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, and that was really you know, the Apollo program 613 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 5: in the space race in the sixties, it was all 614 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 5: about beating the Russians and a worthy goal and certainly 615 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 5: worthy of the investment that we made in it, But 616 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 5: it was really just this comp petition to get to 617 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 5: the Moon first. It was a pr campaign of the 618 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 5: Americans versus the Soviet Union. But it went dormant for 619 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 5: fifty plus years, and the reason was that it costs 620 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 5: so much and there really wasn't anything financially beneficial for 621 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 5: us there. Now, as you start to look out in 622 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 5: the next thirty or forty or fifty years, Okay, now 623 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 5: you've got things like Elon Musk talking about building data 624 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 5: centers in space. There's talking about mining the Moon, there's 625 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 5: talking about mining asteroids, there's talking about going to Mars. 626 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 5: These are all things that can have dramatic financial benefits 627 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 5: that justify the billions of dollars that we're spending on this. 628 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 5: And I want you to give you the impression that 629 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 5: this is you know, the financial benefits are right around 630 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 5: the corner, still a long ways away, but that's. 631 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 2: Really the goal. 632 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 5: Now okay, now, what can we do from these Moon 633 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 5: missions and what we're learning and by the way, Elon 634 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 5: Musk and what he's done to bring down the cost, 635 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 5: that's that's really what's changed things. It's been SpaceX and 636 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 5: Elon Musk bringing down the cast of space launches that 637 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 5: has changed everybody's opinion and allowed us to see, Okay, 638 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 5: now that we got that cost down, now what kind 639 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 5: of money can we make out there? 640 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 3: What a difference though an administration looks like because this 641 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 3: is now a test bed for future crewed lunar landings, 642 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 3: not just flybys, but landings and also deep space exploration. 643 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 3: You've got the NASA chief saying, you know what, this 644 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 3: is just step one and this is the first phase 645 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 3: for us to go to Mars. With the Biden administration, 646 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 3: you had astronauts left up deserted up in space. Even 647 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 3: after Elon Musk offered to help, they still said, nah, 648 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 3: we're good. 649 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, we had that story. Yeah right, you know, that's 650 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 2: a really good point. 651 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 5: We had those astronauts that were stranded on the space 652 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 5: station and that were up there for several more months 653 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 5: than they should have been. And you're right, Elon Musk 654 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 5: offered the Biden administration. Hey, I got a plan. I'll 655 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 5: signed it up there, we'll take care of it well, 656 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 5: helping Biden gave him the old stiff arm given the 657 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 5: heisman said now sit down, Elon, and you're right. Administration 658 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 5: does make a big difference. But this is the plan 659 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 5: that NASA has laid out. It's do these moonflybys. It's 660 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 5: land people on the moon. It's build a base on 661 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 5: the Moon, and then it's make a manned mission to Mars. 662 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 3: So the Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnik, who is a Trump appointee, 663 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 3: he is set to appear before the House Oversight Committee 664 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 3: on May sixth. 665 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 4: He's going to have a transcribed. 666 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 3: Interview about his past ties to the late convicted sex 667 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 3: offender Jeffrey Epstein. 668 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 4: So here's one more. 669 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,959 Speaker 3: You've got Pam Bondi, who I believe is still going 670 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 3: to have to testify. 671 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,719 Speaker 2: Even though she's no longer the head of the DOJ. 672 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 4: Correct, And how about that? That was interesting? Huh? You 673 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 4: and I were talking about that on Thursday, like, yeah, 674 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 4: it looks like this is going to happen. Boom, Like 675 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 4: a couple hours later it did. 676 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 2: Right, We're off for a couple of days. 677 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 5: And then Pam Bondi ends up being replaced at the 678 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 5: as the Attorney General. Yeah, so Howard Lutnick is the 679 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 5: Commerce Secretary. He was kind of all over the Epstein 680 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 5: files and mentioned had, you know, personal relationship with Jeffrey 681 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 5: Epstein after his his conviction for you know, solicitation or 682 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 5: you know, having sex with an underage girl. So that 683 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 5: is really problematic. Again, we keep talking about this, and 684 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 5: I think it's really important because him speaking in front 685 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 5: of Congress in the House Overside Committee. This is not 686 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 5: about potential criminal charges because either a the statute of 687 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:29,239 Speaker 5: limitations have expired or be the vast majority of what 688 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 5: we see in the Epstein files are as hearsay and 689 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 5: not admissible in a court of law. But we are 690 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 5: talking about a pr thing. And we've we've seen you 691 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 5: know people you know have to take a step back 692 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 5: or lose their jobs or you know, resign from certain 693 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 5: boards because of this. And so now the next you know, 694 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 5: high profile person is the current you know, Commerce Secretary, 695 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 5: Howard Lutnik, and he's going to be up there in 696 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 5: front of the House and he's going to have to 697 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 5: answer these questions and he absolutely absolutely should answer these 698 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 5: questions and if he can't come up with something reasonable 699 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 5: about this, he should be the next one that Trump 700 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 5: is looking at replacing. 701 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 3: Well, it's the accountability drip, right, it keeps on drip dripping. 702 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 3: You've got Pambondi on the fourteenth, You've got Howard Lutnick 703 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 3: in May, and this Epstein investigation just keeps expanding methodically 704 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 3: across Washington, and people should be getting nervous on who 705 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 3: and what is next.
