1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,359 Speaker 1: Drag. How was it hanging, buddy, Michael. 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 2: Yes, condominiums are units. I would imagine in this particular case, 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 2: the condominium is about the size of a mailbox at 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: the UPS store. 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: Later, have a good day. 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably right. Here's what happened with Jesse. With 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 3: me and Jesse Jackson, I moved forward with the contracting 8 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 3: with the cruise lines. The cruise lines, you know, Jesse 9 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 3: had a habit of much like Al Sharpton. I probably 10 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 3: conflated a little bit of the two of them, but 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 3: they were genuine race baters in this regard. They would 12 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 3: do the shakedown, and the shakedown was basically that, hey, listen, 13 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: if you don't want us to protest in boycott or 14 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 3: whatever your business or your service or outside your company 15 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 3: headquarters or whatever, then we need you to contribute money 16 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: to the Rainbow Coalition or whatever particular. 17 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: You know program they were using that time at that time. 18 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 3: And so you know, people would Okay, let's write you 19 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 3: a big check and then everything will go away and 20 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 3: they'll move on to the next shake down. So we 21 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: move forward with the basis of this is Jesse Jackson 22 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: came to me during Katrina and said, you can't use 23 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 3: the cruise ships because that's the equivalent of putting black 24 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 3: people on slave ships, which I my job has dropped 25 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 3: because I thought, wait a minute, these people are right 26 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 3: now living in Squalor, and many of them are their 27 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 3: homes have been completely destroyed, and my option is to 28 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 3: put them in FEMA trailers when and if I can 29 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 3: get the THEMA trailers there through all the debris, plus 30 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 3: having to build the infrastructure to take care of the trailers. 31 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: So that's going to take time. Whereas I can bring 32 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: some cruise ships into the Gulf and put them on 33 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 3: the cruise ships and they'll have all the you know, 34 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 3: amenities that they've they've probably many of them body may 35 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 3: have had running water and you know, an indoor bathroom. 36 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 3: They haven't had the quality that a cruise ship could offer. 37 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 3: So we move forward with the contracting, but they never 38 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: get consummated, and they don't get consummated because the word 39 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: gets out to the cruise lines that you know, everything 40 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: is because Jesse had this habit of of superlatives and 41 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 3: a broad brush painting of well, the response wasn't good 42 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 3: enough because George Bush and Michael Brown don't like black people. Yeah, 43 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 3: Kanye West specifically said that, very succinctly said that George 44 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 3: Bush doesn't like black people. Just unbelievably stupid and unbelievably incorrect. 45 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: So the cruise ships themselves decided that it was not 46 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: worth the effort, and so they withdrew their offer and 47 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 3: the contracting went away, never occurred, and that's when we 48 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 3: started using the airlines to evacuate people to Houston, to Atlanta, 49 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: to whoever we could get them, and bringing in FEMA trailers. 50 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 3: You know, it was always interesting about the FEMA trailers 51 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 3: because I was literally sending people out to trailer you know, 52 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: you know, you see them out here, for example, along 53 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 3: I seventy out near Golden the big trailer places where 54 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: you can go buy a camping trailer, and I send 55 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 3: them out with a credit card, go buy as many 56 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 3: as they have on the lot, and you know, we'll 57 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: get semis and whatever we need and start hauling them in. 58 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 3: That's the easy part. The difficult part is you have 59 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: to have the infrastructure to build a trailer park for 60 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 3: those people to live in while their homes are being rebuilt, 61 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: which means you have to have number one security. Two, 62 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: you've got to have some sort of roadway in and 63 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 3: out of whatever that location is. You've got to have 64 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: sewer lines, you have to have electrical lines. Now, communication 65 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: that's pretty easy because you can just put a cow 66 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: a cellular on wheel in that area and provide them, 67 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: you know, with telecommunications. 68 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: But everybody thinks, oh, just pull a trailer in. No. 69 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: Now, some people would take a trailer and they would 70 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 3: put it on their own lot, and that was fine 71 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: with us because that saved us the house of trying 72 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 3: to build huge trailer lots to put these disaster victims. 73 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: So to answer the question on the text. 74 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 3: Line three three one zero three keyword Mica or Michael, 75 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 3: it never went anywhere, absolutely nowhere. Let's do this with 76 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: trucking because there's so much about the trucking industry that 77 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: let's save the lawsuits for tomorrow, because I do want 78 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 3: to get to something that again equally affects all of us. 79 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 3: And there's more and more evidence coming out about just 80 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: how stupid it is the climate left. The people in 81 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 3: the church of the climate activists love to tell us 82 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 3: that zero is somehow a moral imperative. They say it 83 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: with the kind of religious fervor that makes all the 84 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 3: medieval inquisitors look kind of laid back. But here's a 85 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 3: question they can't answer without squirming a moral and parodive 86 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 3: for whom. Here's the number for the day. 87 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: Here's the number. 88 00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: I want you to remember. Six billion, six billion, not dollars, 89 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 3: not megawatts, not parts per million CO two nothing. That's 90 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 3: how many people on this planet right now. Out of 91 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 3: eight billion people, six billion are living in less than 92 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 3: ten bucks a day, eighty percent of all humanity. And 93 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: the people who fly to private conferences on their private jets, 94 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 3: or the people who live in countries like the United 95 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 3: States that can't afford to subsidize, well, we can't really 96 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 3: afford it, but we do it subsidize wind turbines with 97 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 3: taxpayer money. They decided that those six billion people need 98 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: to get on board with net zero. You want to 99 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: talk about a war on the poor, that's it. This 100 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 3: puts some numbers on the table, because this is where 101 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 3: I think the argument gets pretty air tight. The International 102 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 3: Energy Agency, not exactly a right wing outfit, the IEA 103 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: says that to hit net zero by twenty fifty, investment 104 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 3: in developing countries alone, not a country like ours. We're 105 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 3: already spending trillions of dollars, but investment in developing countries 106 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: alone needs to jump from about seven about three quarters 107 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: of a trillion dollars a year. Seven let's say seven 108 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy billion dollars is the number I've gotten 109 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: my notes. Needs to jump from seven hundred and seventy 110 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 3: billion dollars a year to two point eight trillion dollars 111 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 3: per year by the early twenty thirties, which is only 112 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: four years away. Where's that money going to come from? 113 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 3: Where's it going to come from? They don't have it, 114 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: Their governments don't have it. We don't have it. And 115 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 3: in the cost of capital in the global South runs 116 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: around fifteen percent compared to say, around six percent in 117 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 3: the United States or Europe. So even the cheap wind 118 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 3: and solar isn't actually cheap for them now. Chris Wright, 119 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: the Energy Secretary, put it pretty bluntly. Germany spent half 120 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: a trillion dollars more than doubled its grig capacity and 121 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: today produces twenty percent less electricity than before at three 122 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 3: times the price. Let me repeat that, Germany spent half 123 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 3: a trillion dollars more than doubled its grid capacity, but 124 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 3: today he produces twenty percent electricity than before, and that 125 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 3: electricity comes at three times the price. Chris writes word 126 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 3: for that quote, the greatest malinvestment in human history, ten 127 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 3: trillion dollars globally, has yielded about six percent of electric 128 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 3: different wind and solar. Meanwhile, all the activists and all 129 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: the demagogues in the Church of the climate activists can't 130 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: answer a basic question. How does a wind turbine manufacture 131 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:16,359 Speaker 3: the six thousand plus products that are drive from petroleum 132 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 3: that we use every single day? How does solar power 133 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 3: feel the fifty thousand commercial jets moving people in freight? 134 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 3: Forget people, let's just focus on freight around the globe 135 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 3: every single day. Or how do the fifty thousand merchant 136 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 3: ships that make global trade work? How do they get powered? 137 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 3: How do they get powered by wind or solar? Of course, 138 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 3: the answer is it can't and it doesn't, and they 139 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 3: know that. It's not even blind faith. It's stupid, it's irrational. Now, 140 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 3: let me try to be fair. I don't think I'm 141 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 3: always fair when it comes to this topic. It's it's 142 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 3: practically a character flaw. The net zero advocates are completely 143 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 3: wrong about everything. Bookings not not exactly as it's. 144 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: Not the Heartland Institute, that's for sure. 145 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: They acknowledge that four point seven billion people are below 146 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: what they call the empowerment line, and they agree that 147 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 3: both lifting people out of poverty and addressing climate is 148 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 3: a dual imperative. So their answer a combined global investment 149 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: of roughly eight percent of global gross domestic product every year, 150 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: split between green energy build out, so that means forty 151 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 3: one trillion dollars this decade, and then the other split 152 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 3: for poverty relief thirty seven trillion dollars this decade. Thirty 153 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 3: seven seventy eight trillion dollars to try to stop mother 154 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: Nature from doing what Mother Nature does and try to 155 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 3: take people who live in craphole countries and lift them 156 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 3: above the empowerment line. So their progressive plan, the Marxist plan, 157 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: because this is a pure, unadulterated Marxism that that is 158 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 3: the gospel of the Church of the Climate activists, is 159 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: to spend seventy eight trillion dollars on a problem then 160 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 3: we're not even sure that we could solve or that 161 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 3: it even needs to be solved, and try to do 162 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 3: all of that with technology that cannot scale to what 163 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 3: the world actually needs, at the same time asking the 164 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 3: world's poorest people, Hey, just you know, you live in 165 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 3: a craphole country, you live in less than ten dollars 166 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 3: a day. Just wait, because we got a plan. If 167 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 3: we got a plan, and maybe in a decade or so, 168 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: well maybe maybe you'll make twelve. 169 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: Dollars a day. 170 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 3: Maybe you maybe, just maybe you might have running water. 171 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: Maybe that's a wish list dressed up in a Bloomberg 172 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 3: Company terminal somewhere. Here's what should generally make you angry, 173 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 3: not just politically annoyed, but I think morally outraged. The 174 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 3: lithium and cobalt in every single EV battery, the batteries 175 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 3: that let the wealthy Americans feel virtuous, are mined largely 176 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 3: in the democratic Republic of Congo and of course other 177 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 3: developing nations too, under conditions that I think would make 178 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: even a cold hearted Occupational Safety and Health Act inspector 179 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 3: faint child labor, environmental devastation, no worker protections whatsoever. So 180 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 3: zero ideology is in practice subsidizing American and European consumers 181 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 3: consciousns consciousness on the backs of brown and blue workers 182 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 3: in Africa and Asia. And they're doing your tax, They're 183 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: doing it with your tax dollars. Now, the supply chain 184 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 3: we know is largely controlled by China. China does have 185 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 3: either they don't have the labor they don't have the 186 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 3: labor laws. They don't have the environmental regulations that we 187 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 3: demand of every single American company, large or small. Doesn't 188 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 3: make any difference if a Republican oil company, is there 189 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 3: any other if a Republican oil company operated the way 190 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 3: that cobalt mining industry operates, they come back from their 191 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 3: commersso come back from their vacation. By the way, why 192 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: they may take the President's Day They so they allow 193 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 3: a government shut down on what Saturday, sometimes Saturday afternoon sometime. 194 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 3: But meanwhile, before the government actually shut down, they took 195 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 3: off for a week because of President's Day. You and 196 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 3: I were lucky to get one day. Most people didn't 197 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 3: even get President's Day off. You know, personally, you Dragon, 198 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 3: I have a theory about why we get President's Day off, 199 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 3: the counterbalance that we get Martin Luther King Day off. 200 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 3: I think that's what goes in the head of the 201 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 3: C suite in New York could be. I know I 202 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 3: wouldn't clime in either if I were you. 203 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: That's just in my head, here's where I land. 204 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 3: The answer isn't just burn everything and who cares. The 205 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 3: answer is affordable, reliable, scalable energy, and right now the 206 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 3: best path to that for both the developed and the 207 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: developing world is nuclear power, particularly the new generation of small, 208 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 3: modular modular reactors. Amazon, Google, Microsoft Meta. They're not investing 209 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 3: in nukes because they're climate deniers. They're investing in nukes 210 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: because they need base load power that actually works twenty 211 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 3: four to seven and they've done the calculations to the 212 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 3: tech giants, that part of the cabal, that part of 213 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 3: the Church of the climate activists are back in the 214 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 3: very back row of the church. In fact, they're back 215 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 3: in the in the did you ever belong? I used 216 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 3: to be When I was growing up, our church had 217 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 3: a cry room. It was a room where, you know, 218 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 3: mothers that had crying babies, or people at a funeral 219 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 3: that were you know, sobbing and uncontrolled, uncontrollable and inconsolable 220 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 3: could go back to this cry room and it was 221 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 3: a big picture window and they could still see and 222 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 3: hear everything going on in the sanctuary. Well, I think 223 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 3: what's happening in the Church of the Climate activists is 224 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 3: that this part of the cabal, the tech giants have 225 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: gone back into the cry room and they did some calculations. 226 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: They figured out what the climate activists up in the 227 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 3: front rows and the church won't admit, and that is 228 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 3: that wind and solar are intermittent by very definition, and 229 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 3: you can't run an artificial intelligence data center on you know, 230 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 3: on just a breezy day. You certainly can't bring six 231 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 3: million people out of poverty on sunshine, a loan, sunshinea lollipops. 232 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 3: The free market solution to poverty, it's always been the 233 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 3: very same thing. Cheap reliable energy plus free enterprise equals prosperity. 234 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 3: Write that down you might want to, you know, ask 235 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: your kids about that. Cheap reliable energy combined with free enterprise, 236 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 3: free markets reads to prosperity. We did it here. 237 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: Look around you. 238 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 3: Have you ever thought, I know that I have the 239 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 3: benefit of traveling on to everywhere, every craphole country in 240 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 3: the world. Why is that a benefit? Because it gives 241 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 3: me a greater appreciation for what we have in this 242 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 3: country down on every content except Africa an Arctica, and 243 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 3: I'm working on both of those. We've done it, and 244 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: we can help the world do it too, But not 245 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 3: if we, you know, handcuff the developing worlds to some 246 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 3: sort of stupid energy ideology designed by and affordable only 247 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 3: to the comfortable class of the West from world. The 248 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 3: cruelest thing that the climate activists have done with their 249 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 3: theology isn't what it's done to your energy bill, which 250 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 3: is bad that, because that is bad enough. 251 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: It's what it's. 252 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 3: Doing to those six billion people who never got to 253 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 3: have an industrial revolution. 254 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: In the first place. 255 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 3: Why don't we give them that opportunity because we're too 256 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 3: stuck and want to ignore the moral inversion. We don't 257 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 3: care about those six billion people. Oh, I know, we're 258 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 3: the most giving country in the world, and we do 259 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 3: everything that we can to you know, we export some 260 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 3: of our cash by giving it to NGOs or to 261 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 3: you know, big charitable organizations that we think are helping individuals, 262 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 3: are helping, you know, help them discover water, help them 263 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 3: to improve agriculture, helping to do all those things. But 264 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 3: without cheap, reliable energy in third world countries, they're never 265 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 3: going to get above the empowerment line. It's never going 266 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 3: to happen. So when they tell us that net zero 267 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 3: is some sort of moral imperative. Remember, they're just a 268 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 3: bunch of religious zealods pushing their religious belief on you. 269 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 3: When they're the same people that screen for separation of 270 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 3: church and state or religious freedom, or we've got to 271 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 3: accept or we've got to we've got to capitulate to 272 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 3: the religion of other peoples. We got to do all 273 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 3: of those things. You want to talk about. 274 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: A war, the war on the poor. This is the 275 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: war on the poor. 276 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 3: Six billion out of eight billion living on less than 277 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 3: ten dollars a day. Whatever you do today, I've got 278 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 3: you doing now two things. Swerve wide around the trucks, 279 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 3: the eighteen wheelers or for that matter, of the box 280 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 3: trucks and all the others, because you don't know whether 281 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 3: they can speak English or not. You don't know whether 282 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 3: they understand what the speed limit is, or what the 283 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 3: arrows mean on you know, or whatever the road signs are. 284 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 3: And you don't know that they have a legitimate commercial 285 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 3: driver's license or that they're working for a legitimate company. Now, 286 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 3: they may be hauling some stuff that's going to end 287 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 3: up in a retail store somewhere that you're going to buy, 288 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 3: which is great, But think about You're able to buy 289 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 3: those things, not because of some illegal truck driver that 290 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 3: brought them to the retail outlet where you're going to 291 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 3: purchase it, but because of cheap, reliable energy, a free market, 292 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 3: and that reliable energy produce. Oh, it produces the modern 293 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 3: life that we live in, and we ought to recognize 294 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 3: just how fortunate we really are. 295 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 4: Michael, I'd like to offer a slight correction on what 296 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 4: Kanye West said about George Bush, and I remember that 297 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 4: very very specifically. He said George Bush doesn't care about 298 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 4: black people. Not that he doesn't like black people. He said, 299 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 4: George Bush doesn't care about black people. 300 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, I forget who was he standing with? It was 301 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: it was Kanye Michael Myers. Michael Myers, Yeah, yeah. He 302 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: just looked bewildered. He had no idea. I didn't know 303 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: what to do. I had no idea what to do. 304 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 3: You can you can criticize George Bush for any number 305 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: of things, and lord knows, I've got my list if 306 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 3: you want to hear that list someday, but that's one 307 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 3: thing you cannot criticize him for. There were numerous times 308 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 3: behind the scenes that he said or did things that 309 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 3: clearly indicated to me that there was not a racist 310 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 3: bone in that guy's body, not at all. Instapund that 311 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 3: Glenn Reynolds has a great peace out from over the 312 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 3: weekend that I want to plagiarize a little bit and 313 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 3: tell you about Cuba. I've always wanted to travel to Havana, 314 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 3: and the reason for that is on numerous trips to 315 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 3: Buenos Aires, I've always thought of Buenos Aires. And I 316 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 3: haven't been to Buenos Aires in a decade, but on 317 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 3: my previous trips there, it always reminded me of what 318 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 3: a like maybe in New York looked like in the 319 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 3: early nineteen hundred, say from nineteen hundred to you know, 320 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 3: through nineteen forty or so. And Havena is a place 321 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 3: that is frozen in time. It's frozen from the Chake 322 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 3: Guavera and which, by the way, anybody got to Jake 323 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 3: Guvera T shirt on. If your kid's wearing a Shake 324 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 3: Gavera T shirt, you might want to question their education 325 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 3: and fidel and the revolution, and from that point on, 326 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 3: Havana has been frozen in time. The hotels, the housing, 327 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: the automobiles, the beaches, everything frozen in time. And I've 328 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 3: always wanted to see that, and of course, you know, 329 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: visit the tobacco plantations and see everything. I don't know 330 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 3: that I'll be able to do that in my lifetime. 331 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 3: And right now Cuba is in free fall. It's not 332 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 3: the slow motion socialist decay that we've watched for sixty years, 333 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 3: but it's a genuine, imminent collapse. And I don't think 334 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 3: the question is if Cuba falls, it's who's ready to 335 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 3: deal with Cuba when it does fall. So Glenn Reynolds 336 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 3: borrows Ernest Hemingway's famous line about going bankrupt gradually and 337 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 3: then suddenly and applies that to Cuba's collapse. And I 338 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 3: think this is a killer setup for your understanding of 339 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 3: what I'm talking about, because all of us have heard 340 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 3: that Cuba is failing. We've heard that for decades, and 341 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 3: we've tuned it out. What Instapundent is saying is this 342 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 3: time the suddenly is actually here. And the evidence that 343 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 3: he marshals, drawing from Jonathan Lee's reporting, is pretty clear. 344 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 3: The economy is functionally dead right now. Cuba is now 345 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 3: importing sugar. Just let that think in This is a 346 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 3: volcanic island almost the size of Pennsylvania with some the 347 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 3: richest oil in this hemisphere, and they're importing sugar from 348 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 3: the Dominican Republic. Sugar production has collapsed to levels that 349 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 3: have not been seen since eighteen ninety five, not nineteen 350 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 3: eighty five, eighteen ninety five. But back then Cuba had 351 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 3: one point five million people. Today a little over ten 352 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 3: million people. The math is pretty brutal. Oil is going 353 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 3: to be the trip wire. Cuba runs almost entirely on 354 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 3: oil for electricity. No oil, no electricity, no electricity, no 355 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 3: municipal water system, no refrigeration for food. And in a 356 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 3: tropical climate like Cuba, that's not just simply an inconvenience. 357 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 3: That's not like Excel here deciding that, hey we're going 358 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 3: to turn the power off for a few hours because 359 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 3: it's windy out. Kimney Christmas, it's windy out again. I'm shocked, shocked. 360 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 3: I say, what it is is that's a public health 361 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 3: catastrophe on a really compressed, tight timeline. According to instapundit, 362 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 3: the oil could run out in weeks, not a months, 363 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 3: and right now China is the only thing propping it up. 364 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 3: And even that gets kind of weird. Cuba, Cuba buys 365 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 3: imported Dominican sugar at a loss, then sells it to 366 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 3: China at inflated prices, which is essentially a Chinese subsidy 367 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,959 Speaker 3: laundering scheme. That's how hollow the Cuban economy has become. 368 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 3: So then you have any time there is the failure 369 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 3: of a nation state, and again I would emphasize the 370 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 3: fall of Cuba, a failed nation state is the exact 371 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 3: kind of contingency planning that FEMA and Homeland NET. Unfortunately 372 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 3: now Homeland Security, which will screw it up royally, and 373 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 3: the Department of Defense engaged in and continues to gauge in, 374 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 3: and we engage in it for years. What if Mexico, 375 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 3: which pretty much already is a narco state, but what 376 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: if it really did completely become a failed state? 377 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: I don't care. I mean we in part of the 378 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: planning was you. 379 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 3: Immediately deploy the military to the border everywhere from the 380 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 3: Baja in California all the way through Texas, and you 381 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 3: put tanks, you put black hawks, you put troops, you 382 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 3: put everything you can possibly imagine to stop the just 383 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 3: absolute flow of people that would come across the border 384 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 3: because of a failed state of Mexico. They would seek 385 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 3: refuge in this country. We would have to stop it, 386 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 3: and we would have to figure out and there are 387 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 3: plan I can tell you that there are plans for 388 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 3: how to deal with that migrating population, but inside the 389 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 3: Mexican border, not inside the US border. Now, think about 390 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 3: the same thing happening happening in Cuba. Yes, there are 391 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 3: plans for if and when Cuba fails. Now it's kind 392 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 3: of interesting because in our planning, which is now, you know, 393 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 3: a couple of decades old, So I can't tell you 394 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 3: for sure what the current plan is. But the old 395 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 3: plan was always for when both Raoul Castro and Fidel died, 396 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 3: because there were and are still enough people inside that 397 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 3: island that really do want to go back to the 398 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 3: pre revolutionary country that it was. Fidel's dead, Castro's been 399 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 3: dead for quite a while. Ryol has pretty much disappeared 400 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 3: from the scene. We're not sure how much control he 401 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 3: really has. But now we have something that is probably 402 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 3: even more defining than the death of those two brothers, 403 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 3: and that is the lack of void. So then it 404 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 3: becomes a question of what about the military, what about 405 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 3: the police? What's the real pivot point here? I think 406 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 3: this is the most an analytically interesting part of this story. Now, 407 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 3: Reynolds poses the question that courts asked about authority all 408 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 3: the time. 409 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: Who has the power and who do they answer to? 410 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 3: It's the similar question that I always ask about who's 411 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 3: in charge, Because if you can't answer the question about 412 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 3: who's in charge, then you know you're either looking at 413 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 3: a cluster you know what, or you are in the 414 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,479 Speaker 3: middle of a cluster you know what. So Cuba has 415 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 3: this very large military and police apparatus relative to the population. 416 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 3: They hold all the guns, which Glen Reynolds correctly notes 417 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 3: is the entire point of disarming up population. But here's 418 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,959 Speaker 3: the crack of the foundation. Loyalty runs on payroll the 419 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 3: military and the cops. Their loyalty depends on who's writing 420 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 3: the check. Where's the money come from. What do you 421 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 3: think dragon your paychecks start to bounce, how long does 422 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 3: your loyalty last? 423 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: I stop showing up quickly, pretty quick. 424 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 3: So if you're a member of the military or the 425 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 3: popo in Havana or in just Cuba in general, and 426 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 3: suddenly the paycheck just doesn't bounce, the paycheck never shows up. No, 427 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 3: it's that such thing as a direct deposit. We're talking 428 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 3: about a pay per check, it never shows up. Loyalty 429 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: runs on payroll. And when the communist regime can't pay 430 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 3: its own security forces, and I think that moment is coming. 431 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 3: Who holds the country, the structure together, who holds the 432 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 3: society together? 433 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: Nothing? 434 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 3: I don't think anything. And this is how communist regimes 435 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 3: actually fail. They don't fail from the bottom up through 436 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 3: popular uprising alone, but when the enforcers calculate that their 437 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 3: own personal interests are better served by switching sides or 438 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 3: simply standing down. Think Romania nineteen eighty nine, Think East 439 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 3: Germany nineteen eighty nine. The walls come down when the 440 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 3: guards step aside. So let's think about that, coupled with 441 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 3: Trump and the art of the deal. 442 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: What's next, Michael? 443 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 5: We've broken another record in Denver. Yesterday was the thirty 444 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 5: fifth day of the winter season that was above sixty degrees. 445 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 5: We had thirty four days above sixty degrees in nineteen 446 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 5: eighty one. Yeah for us, But we get rained today. 447 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: Maybe get rain today. 448 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 3: It's sprinkled a half a dozen sprinkles right out here 449 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 3: on our balcony earlier. 450 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: Oh it did. Yeah, so my clean car has sprinkles 451 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: on it? Sure does. 452 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 3: Would you when you when we get down here, would 453 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 3: you go wipe it off for me? 454 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: Please? Sure will. 455 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 3: And by the way, the record, the record goes all 456 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 3: the way back to did she say seventeen eighty one? 457 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: Eighteen eighty one? She just said eighty one. I believe 458 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: so she said, nineteen eighty one, nineteen eighty one. 459 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, you know, ancient times, the dark ages. 460 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: Good grief, you know. 461 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 3: I've gotten I wasn't going to talk about that. And 462 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 3: then there's the other topic I'm not going to talk about, 463 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 3: which just blows my mind. I can't believe that the president, 464 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 3: the President of the United States of America, came out 465 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 3: and said something about that other story. President's words have 466 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 3: impact and meaning and and mister President, when it comes 467 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 3: to that case down there in the Southwest, keep your 468 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 3: mouth shut. 469 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: Just keep your mouth shut. 470 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 5: You know. 471 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: Damn well he can't. I can't. 472 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 3: But there, you know, somebody soothing Wilse needs to pulling 473 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 3: aside and say, you know, mister President, there are other 474 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 3: grandmothers or mothers or brothers or sisters or aunts or 475 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 3: uncles or whatever that have been abducted or kidnapped or 476 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 3: missing or whatever. And every time you talk about that one, 477 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 3: you might lose a vote, they might get pod. 478 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: So shut up and sit down about that one. It's 479 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: not a national issue. 480 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 3: Now, let's go back to because I'm speaking of the president, well, 481 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 3: I think he ought to keep his mouth shut about that. 482 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 3: I think what Trump and Rubio and just US policy 483 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 3: in general, particularly towards the away in Mexico, it's not 484 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 3: accidental that it's similar to what's going on in Cuba. 485 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 3: It is calculated to accelerate the collapse of those regimes 486 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 3: and create the conditions for a deal. Now, I don't 487 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 3: care whether you buy it or not. It's classically pragmatic. 488 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 3: It is not ideological. Cenisurers and jobs for mid level, 489 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 3: mid level military and police whose cooperation you're going to need, 490 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 3: investment opportunities for the power brokers that are willing to flip, 491 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 3: and then massive private development flowing in Marriott four seasons, Hiott, 492 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 3: They're all. 493 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: Going to just. 494 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 5: Run. 495 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 3: They're gonna have speed boats mistaken for drug boats, trying 496 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 3: to get Havana with capital to start taking advantage as 497 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 3: quickly as possible, to grab as much market share as possible. 498 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 3: That's why I don't think I'll ever be able to 499 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 3: see Havana as it is unless somehow I figure out 500 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 3: a way to go right now. I don't really I'm 501 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 3: want to go right now when there's no electricity. It's 502 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 3: bad enough to go when they're blackouts. The real estate 503 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 3: angle alone is fascinating. Cuba has roughly a third of 504 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 3: all developable Caribbean coastline the Cayman Lawyer's advice from twenty eleven, 505 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 3: hold Cayman property, but know that when Cuba opens up, 506 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 3: that will flood the Caribbean real estate market.

And the Cuban diaspora that 512 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 3: exists in Florida and for that matter, all over the country, 513 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 3: roughly two plus million Cuban Americans with property claims going 514 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 3: back to nineteen fifty nine confiscations.
