A tale of two 25 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: mayors and a president. New San Francisco tyonical poll released 26 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: just two days ago, found that seventy three percent of 27 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: San Francisco's approof of Mayor Daniel Lurry's first six months 28 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: in office. This is only twenty five percent disapprove. And 29 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: they are crack pop. This is incredible. I don't live 30 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: in San Francisco, but I wish they would have pulled me, 31 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: because I've been saying saying this for a while now 32 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: with my own anecdotal evidence, from my own eyeballs as 33 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: a guy who goes into downtown San Francisco on a 34 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: regular basis, it is night and day different from what 35 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: it was a year or two ago. 36 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 2: Night and day. Yeah, last time I was there with 37 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: my son, we had to walk to the Tenderloin to 38 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: find a homeless person. I wanted to show my son, 39 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: you know what the worst part of San Francisco was. 40 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: But just walking around the regular areas, no homeless people. Zero. 41 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: You couldn't say that fairly. 42 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: Recently, I prefer the term transient drug addict or junkies. 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: But to each their own. Evan Simon a great piece 44 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: in the California Globe describes how Mayor London breed and 45 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: the city council communist what was his name, Aaron Peskin 46 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: who also ran, but how Laurie crushed them. Daniel Lourie 47 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: the new guy, and he goes into how they tried 48 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: to tack to the center, but people weren't having it 49 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: because San franciscould become the poster child for dysfunction. One 50 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: of his first acts was to declare a fentanyl state 51 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: of emergency. Shortly thereafter, Lurie spearheaded a massive cut to 52 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: the San Francisco budget, helping solve the overspending problems that 53 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: plagued the Braden administration while not cutting the SFPD or 54 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: public safety funding. In the past few weeks, Lori has 55 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: kept up the trend of undoing the progressive policies by 56 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: cracking down on junkie camps, by severely limiting RV parking times, 57 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of other stuff, and again seventy three percent 58 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: approval rating in his first six months. 59 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: I'd like for him some of the stuff that's happened. 60 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: I haven't seen any reporting on, like how did the 61 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: sidewalks and streets get so clean? They did they use 62 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: fire hoses on everything overnight at some point. I mean, 63 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: it's just it's just like sparkling clean compared to what 64 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: it was a year ago. It's stunning. I've never seen 65 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: anything change as much as San Francisco changed in the 66 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: amount of time that I've been going there. 67 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's as simple, as simple as and the 68 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: fact that people don't get this frightens me. It's as 69 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: simple as if your town is crappy, it's because it's 70 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: being run crappily. It's because of bad policy and bad politics. 71 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: They can blame whatever they want, budgets or the white 72 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: man or whatever. It's not that it's policy. So that's 73 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: Daniel Lurie in San Francisco. Then you got poor old 74 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: Jacob Frye in Minneapolis, the left wing activist Minnesota mayor 75 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: Minneapolis mayor. You may remember him weeping openly in the 76 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: wake at George Floyd's death. It was called performative here 77 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: in the Washington Examiner, he wailed about one hundred years 78 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: worth of intentional segregation institutionalized racism. He downplayed Black Lives 79 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: Matter riots by claiming the rioters were from out of 80 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: state and probably conservative plants. 81 00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: Blah, blah blah. 82 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: Well, when it came time for him to get re elected, 83 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Democratic Farm Labor Party abandoned him and instead 84 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: endorsed his top opponent, State Senator Omar Fatah, a destructive 85 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: left wing dielogue, a socialist, a Jew hater, an is lomist, 86 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: anti police activist. They just dumped Jacob Fry. Jacob, you 87 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: bent over backwards. You prostituted yourself to these people, and 88 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: they dumped you because of the color of your skin. 89 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: You are a white fella. You will not do anymore. 90 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: Good luck of Minneapolis. I told you two mayors and 91 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: a president. Here's the president. The fabulous Neil Ferguson wrote 92 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: a great piece for the Free Press about Harvier Malay 93 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: Milai and what he's accomplished in Argentina. 94 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, some of these stats are incredible. 95 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: Oh, I was rooting for him so hard when he 96 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: got elected a year and a half ago. When he 97 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: was sworn in in the end of twenty three, Argentina 98 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: economy was an incurable basket case gross domestic product who's 99 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: shrinking by one and a half percent or more a year. 100 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: According to the IMF, per capita gross domestic product on 101 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: an inflation adjusted basis was lower in twenty twenty three 102 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: than it had been in twenty oh seven. Public finances 103 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: in disarray. IMF estimated total public debt around ninety percent 104 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: of GDP forty billion, of it was owed to the IMF, 105 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: a culmination of no fewer than twenty two programs. They 106 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: mentioned the previous socialist government's reckless physical and monetary policies 107 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: that created annualized inflation. Get this, you remember when it 108 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: was like nine percent and people are screeching, they're annualized 109 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: inflation exceeded two hundred percent. 110 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: I don't even know how you function in societies like that, 111 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: So that ten dollars steak is now thirty dollars two 112 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 2: days later or one year later. Rather, I hope, I 113 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 2: hope I ever lived through anything like that. I've always 114 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: been amazed when you hear those stories, just like you 115 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 2: just give up, like immediately, like I'm I'm I'm broke, 116 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: I'm completely broke.

He's 141 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: reduced the number of government ministries from eighteen to eight. Chainsaw, 142 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: Remember he gifted the Elon Musk with the chainsaw uh, 143 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: he said, Ministry of Tourism in sports out, Ministry of 144 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: Culture out, Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development out, Ministry 145 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: of Women, Gender and Diversity out, over and over again. 146 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: With the Executive Order seven he issued a few days 147 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: after he was inaugurate, and he deregulated key markets including 148 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: property rentals, commercial airlines. Oh, property rentals, mamdami. He deregulated them, 149 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: deregulated commercial airlines, and rode freight transport labor. Market reforms 150 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: took longer, but were enacted after a fight with Congress. 151 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: You know, I could get into more statistics and all. 152 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: He overhauled the imports system, removed quota's licenses, NOLL certifications, 153 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: and how did you still long term program with tax 154 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: and regulatory reform? 155 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: How did he do it?

Because there's 162 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: going to be pain when you administer shock to his system. 163 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: The poverty rate has fallen from forty two percent to 164 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: thirty one percent. There's a great deal to be done, 165 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: but it is a stunning success. As of course it is. 166 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: The free market works so much better. In fact, that's 167 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: a too faint a way to put it. The free 168 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: market is worlds better, world's better than government control. 169 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: Just because you mentioned the Free Press that you're reading 170 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 2: from Barry Weiss who started the Free Press. She was 171 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: a journalist at the New York Times. She's a lefty, 172 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 2: but not as crazy as the other lefties there.

I've got something 371 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: that was actually in the sub stack today I'll get 372 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 2: to But so, uh, his wife has disappeared to one 373 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: of their other homes.

I just came across by some woman. 380 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who she is. Why are we so 381 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 2: into this? 382 00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 3: This woman writes. 383 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 2: It's classic schadenfreud, pleasure in another person's misfortune. But in 384 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 2: the Internet age, it's also more than that. We've collectively 385 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 2: decided that Andy Byron, a white man with lots of 386 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 2: money who had the audacity to cheat on his wife 387 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: in a stadium full of people, is a bad person. 388 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 2: It's astoundingly simple. Because he is a bad person. There's 389 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 2: no limit to what we expect him to withstand. The 390 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 2: memes and the commentary and the AI generated comments is 391 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: photo plastered on front page news sites around the world. 392 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 2: The further we dig, the worse the man becomes. He 393 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: wasn't only cheating, he was cheating with the head of HR, 394 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 2: which turned out to be a lie. I guess, she says, sir, 395 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. 396 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: Uh. 397 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 2: She had received a promotion very recently and was in 398 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: a relationship, which is not true anyway, whatever, it doesn't matter. 399 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 2: Was he abusing his power to hide his affair. He's 400 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: the kind of man who cheats on his wife, so 401 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 2: he's capable of anything. But what does this public shaming, 402 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 2: this outrage, this witch hunt actually achieve. Who are we 403 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: doing for at four? I suppose Andrey Byron's wife knows 404 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 2: she is being cheated on, although I don't think we 405 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 2: can pretend this entire spectacle is for her benefit, so 406 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: we're not like piling on him to make her feel 407 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 2: better exactly. Her name too is being published, and she's 408 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 2: now had not go hide in a home to try 409 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 2: to get away from everybody. Her photos are being pawed 410 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: through throughout her entire life, Her life is being unpacked 411 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 2: on social media. Now, we might think we're restoring the 412 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 2: moral order by deriding him, expressing a tacit solidarity with her, 413 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 2: but I imagine she kind of wishes she wasn't so 414 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 2: famous and that this had happened in quiet, if it 415 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 2: happened at all. 416 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, this person is a little overly serious about all 417 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 1: of this. They're missing some of the main points. 418 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 2: Well, are we doing it for women broadly? Is this justice, vengeance, 419 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 2: symbolic power for every wife and mother who cared for 420 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 2: their family at home while their husband cheated on them 421 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 2: in public? Is it about wealth? Is it about privilege? 422 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 2: Why do we enjoy that so much? 423 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: I don't think having the coldplay cam at baseball games 424 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: is a quote unquote witch hunt at all. I think 425 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: it's funny because what they did was funny. It got 426 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: attention because it was so obviously a pantomime of what 427 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: they're doing. I mean, it was like it was intentional. 428 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: It was so egregious and silly. 429 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 3: But what's going on? Two things? 430 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: Number one, Yeah, people are expressing a solidarity around certain 431 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: values about you don't cheat in your on your spouse 432 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: and you don't do it in public. And they're also 433 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: doing what people do all the time. They're acting as 434 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: if they're all pure hearted by condemning other people's sins. 435 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: I mean, the Bible is there are several references to 436 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: that the whole Wait a minute, you're awfully interested in 437 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: that other person's sins, aren't you. It's all you talk about. 438 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: Why don't we spend a minute on yours? Nah, you 439 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: don't want to do you say? Hell of a lot 440 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: of that going on too? 441 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: Are you claiming I got a log in my eye? Well, 442 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 2: I'm trying to enjoy this story. 443 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: Uh, roughly speaking, yes, yes, So you know there's all 444 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: sorts of motives, pure impure, purely fun.

Don't don't jingle? 515 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 3: What do we have? Michael? That's pretty good? 516 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: Now? 517 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 3: Was here one more time? 518 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 6: That? 519 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 2: Of course in honor of the death of Oswald Osborne? 520 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, the great man has passed. Was that our 521 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: only choice? Or do we have another one? 522 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: Michael? Not Frendan, he does. 523 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's more like a Jay gilesy feel 524 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: to me. 525 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 3: I like the first one. Oh there's more, Oh boy? 526 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 2: Not Fred he do well, it's nothing to try for with. 527 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 3: What would you describe that style? Ass, I don't know. 528 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 3: Play it again? Not Threding, He don't know. Wow, like 529 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 3: nineties hip hop pop. That was terrible. 530 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: First one was best. Oh, speaking of fun in the sun, 531 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: North Korea, this is exciting. You're looking for a beach vacation. 532 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: You're thinking, No, where I'd like to go is North Korea. 533 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: If they had a great beach resort, Well, they have opened. 534 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 3: Such a facility. This is exciting. 535 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: Kim Jong un hailed it as one of the greatest 536 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: successes this year, and they've opened it up, although unfortunately 537 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: some Russians went there and said all the North Koreans 538 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: seem to have been brought here for appearances and they're 539 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: not really here on vacation, and they published that. And 540 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: so North Korea has banned foreign visitors from their hot 541 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: new communist beach resort, at least for now, very very 542 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: attractive a country where two thirds of the populace is starving, 543 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: but they have a new beach resort for foreigners. And 544 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: then this story, this is another North Korea, and you're 545 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: gonna think I make this and made this up. This 546 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: is so crazy, so I think I brought this up. 547 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: Maybe you've heard this. Thousands of North Koreans are now 548 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: drawing US salaries by assuming the identities of Americans to 549 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: secure remote jobs. They started doing this during COVID and 550 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: it's really taken off. They're like computer geeks and they're 551 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: doing they actually do the jobs, although they're frequently double 552 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: dipping because you can do that, I guess, and just 553 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: get your work done and then go to your other job. 554 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 3: And get your work done online. 555 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: But they're drawing US currency, which they desperately, desperately need 556 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: into North Korea by the thousands. This is the crazy 557 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: part the FBI. I shouldn't even say this out loud, 558 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: but it's been published. The FBI and other investigators are 559 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: finding them now because they're bound by a few defining characteristics. 560 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: Total devotion to dear leader Kim Jong Oun, of course, 561 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: a penchant for stealing. 562 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 3: Cryptocurrency, huh. 563 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: And an obsession with minions, really cuddly yellow agents of 564 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: evil from Despicable Me. That's one of those few Hollywood 565 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: movies that they'll show in North Korea. And I guess 566 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: this society is obsessed with minions keeping the world safe 567 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: from grew. North Korean's love of the animated movie franchise 568 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: has become a recurring of slightly baffling joke among the 569 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: security researchers who investigate them. Many of these fake workers 570 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: use minions and other Despicable Me characters in social media profiles, 571 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: email addresses. They're just they're they're omnipresent in these people's 572 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: online presence. Some investigators in initially thought their use of 573 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: gru Gre was a reference to Russia's famed gru the 574 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: military intelligence agency no, it was a tribute to the 575 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: Minions Overlord Felonious Grew Senior. If you want to be formal, 576 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: the Steve Carrell voiced animated character who tries to steal 577 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: the moon. 578 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 3: Very skinny legs on grew and final sentence. 579 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: Allusions to Minions and other characters are so ubiquitous that 580 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: investigators pursuing North Koreans view despicable references as a sign 581 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: they might be on the right track. 582 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 2: They get so little pop culture that the little they 583 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 2: got they've just all grabbed onto it. 584 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 585 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, And they give a bunch of examples that had 586 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: like Grew in their screen name or or other characters. 587 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 2: Those movies are fairly entertaining. I've watched them with my kids. 588 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: I watch I finally watched the first one and thought, wow, 589 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: that's really good. The really good cartoon movies are just 590 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: really good. But I've found that since my kids. 591 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 3: Are grown, I don't seek them out each other. 592 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: Fair although, you know, after a couple of glasses of 593 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: wine on a Saturday nine it sounds like a good 594 00:32:58,760 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: relaxing time. 595 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 2: I watch couch watching Cars three. 596 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,719 Speaker 1: I didn't say I'm drunk.

That was defensive and combative. 601 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: I think I may have a problem. They're all pretty good, though, 602 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: despicable of means. 603 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay. 604 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 2: I don't think there's a weak one in the bunch. 605 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 2: I don't know why some of them have one eye 606 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 2: and some of them have two. That's never been explained. 607 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 3: Asha safer workplaces. 608 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 2: I don't know how much time I got that, Michael 609 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 2: blessly about thirty seconds. 610 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 3: Okay, we'll just tap down. 611 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: I just saw little to do something significant, too much 612 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: to just sit here, mute. 613 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 2: I just saw up on TV.
